| Aison | hello, I just tried to disable the avatars/userlist in sddm of lubuntu 20.04. | 10:45 |
|---|---|---|
| Aison | I create a /etc/sddm.conf but somehow this file is ignored | 10:46 |
| Aison | This file contains only [Theme] EnableAvatars=false | 10:47 |

| charles | If anyone has a second to take a look I'd really appreciate it. I've been trying to get this to work all day. | 20:21 |
| charles | Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask btw, just tried to follow the support links. | 20:23 |
| lubot | [telegram] <Leokolb> What version of Lubuntu? How old is the laptop? does it support efi? where did you download the ISO file? Is the install media good? (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <charles> Hello, I'm trying to install Lubuntu on an old laptop. I've tried three times but I keep on getting the same error) | 20:26 |
| charles | the second latest version, 20.04 I believe. The laptop is from about 2012 and it's a Gateway brand. As far as I am aware it supports EFI, I installed Ubuntu on it no problem. The install media was verified when I booted the computer. I downloaded the ISO from https://lubuntu.me/downloads/ | 20:29 |
| charles | Full disclosure I am very new to linux in general I learned about 1/2 of what I know today lol | 20:30 |
| lubot | [telegram] <Leokolb> Are you doing a full disk install i.e. erase disk? (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <charles> the second latest version, 20.04 I believe. The laptop is from about 2012 and it's a Gateway brand. As far as I am aware it supports EFI, I installed Ubuntu on it no problem. The install media was verified when I booted the computer. I downloaded the ISO from https://lubuntu.me/downloads/) | 20:32 |
| charles | Yes, I'm having the installer format the hard drive and create a new partition in replacement of the old one | 20:33 |
| charles | I tried that 3 times and it was the same error every time, i really a not sure what is happening | 20:33 |
| charles | I also tried manually installing grub to /dev/sda and /dev/sdb and that didn't work, so i tried it as sudo and it said it couldn't find `/cow if that helps at all | 20:35 |
| lubot | [telegram] <Leokolb> You are selecting "erase disk" and not "replace a partition" at install -is that correct? (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <charles> Yes, I'm having the installer format the hard drive and create a new partition in replacement of the old one) | 20:38 |
| charles | the only options I had were dual boot, partition and manual partition | 20:40 |
| charles | Would that be in manual? | 20:40 |
| Aison | is /etc/sddm.conf ignored by lubuntu? (20.04 has sddm as login screen, right?) | 20:40 |
| lubot | [telegram] <Leokolb> Are you installing from USB disk? (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <charles> the only options I had were dual boot, partition and manual partition) | 20:42 |
| charles | I'm not sure, I didn't have to log in to install. I'm currently installing from a USB disk and communicating using lubuntu live | 20:43 |
| lubot | [telegram] <Leokolb> I think you should check our manual _ https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/1/1.3/installation.html (re @lubuntu_bot: (irc) <charles> I'm not sure, I didn't have to log in to install. I'm currently installing from a USB disk and communicating using lubuntu live) | 20:44 |
| charles | alright, I'll give that a go then | 20:45 |
| lubot | [telegram] <Leokolb> @charles and retry the install - let us know if the problem is not solved | 20:45 |
