ignignokhello03:16
ignignokanyone here help with partitioning disk for a dual install?03:17
alkisgHi, what help?03:18
ignignoki've never done it and only know a little about partitioning tbh03:20
ignignoki was expecting a guided install like other distros but this doesn't seem to have one03:21
alkisgKubuntu does have a guided install. What options do you get?03:23
ignignokhold on03:24
ignignokis use entire disk and setup lvm what i want?03:25
ignignoki have solus installed and did lvm and full disk install and i want kubuntu with it03:26
alkisgAh ok that's the problem then03:26
ignignokwhat is?03:27
alkisgYou didn't leave space for other installations03:27
ignignokso i reinstall solus and partition there?03:28
ignignokor i guess do it now with kubuntu, i don't mind wiping the disk03:29
alkisgIf you don't have much experience with partitioning etc, I would suggest a simpler setup03:29
alkisgI.e. without LVM03:29
alkisgThen the "other installer" will be able to resize the partition and make space for dual installations much more easily03:30
ignignokok, i just read the instructions on the solus install said lvm made it easier03:30
ignignokcool, thank you03:30
alkisgLVM supports live resizing and some other cool stuff, but you need to know terminal commands to do that, for example https://www.rootusers.com/lvm-resize-how-to-decrease-an-lvm-partition/03:31
alkisgUnfortunately the installers aren't yet smart enough to cooperate on lvm with other installations, afaik03:31
ignignoknothing is smart anymore03:32
ignignokany difference if i install kubuntu or solus first that you know of?03:32
alkisgI don't think so, both should be able to work fine with non-lvm setups03:33
ignignokok, here we go again. thanks for your help03:33
ignignokgo suns03:34

IrcsomeBot<peterxj> Hello, can anyone give some explanation over this if they can understand the code? The updated file seems to be the ubuntukloopnew.zip from it but I am unsure how to proceed with it.08:26
IrcsomeBot<peterxj> https://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=159&t=46153708:26
IrcsomeBot<peterxj> If possible I'd like to reproduce these steps for a different distro, idk where else to ask and am fairly new at Linux. Any help is appreciated08:27
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> How to switch from windows kubuntu without losing data12:51
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> Without losing data it's very important12:51
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> My  already have a flashed usb12:51
IrcsomeBot<Maik_aD> From windows to kubuntu only without losing data is not possible. Backup you important data from Windows onto a external hard drive first. (re @ADHIVP: How to switch from windows kubuntu without losing data)13:01
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> No other way13:11
mparilloHow many physical drives do you have?13:15
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> C and E (re @IrcsomeBot: <mparillo> How many physical drives do you have?)13:16
IrcsomeBot<Maik_aD> why didn't you say so from the start....13:17
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> C that have windows installed13:18
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> E have 25 GB13:19
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> And C have  438 GB with data and windows installed13:20
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> Well you can move the data from E to C and then delete the E partition using Windows so that it would become unallocated.13:27
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> If there is any empty space on C, you could unallocate some of it because I've heard at least 40 GB is recommended for Linux, although it's your choice.13:27
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> Then install Kubuntu on the unallocated space. (re @ADHIVP: E have 25 GB)13:27
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> Oh kk13:28
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> Can you guide me setup process13:28
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> And then after the installation delete Windows, Program files, and other folders13:28
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> And I don't understand why you put your data in your OS drive13:28
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> Process of deleting drive E or13:29
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> Proccess of installing Kubuntu? (re @ADHIVP: Can you guide me setup process)13:29
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> No13:29
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> Linux swap efi like that13:29
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> It's for a friend not me (re @Flooding: And I don't understand why you put your data in your OS drive)13:31
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> I don't recall the exact steps, It would guide you at the installation, if necessary.13:31
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> You don't have to do anything in regards to SWAP, imo.13:31
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> I remember while installing, it asked me to create a FAT32 500 MB partition and label it as EFI, but your case might be different. (re @ADHIVP: Linux swap efi like that)13:31
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> Ok13:32
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> I will check in youtube13:32
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> Any way thanks13:32
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> +13:34
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> If you do the unallocatction process inside Windows before installing, the rest of installation will be easy and the chance of losing data will be minimum. (re @ADHIVP: I will check in youtube)13:34
IrcsomeBot<ADHIVP> Ok13:34
IrcsomeBot<villagerrrrrrrrr> It was 12pm in my country๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ (re @IrcsomeBot: <lordievader> Good morning)13:51

user|75Hi, can Kubuntu run from a usb stick and also persistent?16:34
IrcsomeBot<ri5h46h> you should be able to afaik16:44
IrcsomeBot<Maik_aD> they are already gone (re @ri5h46h: you should be able to afaik)16:45
IrcsomeBot<ri5h46h> exactly, i always forget to recognise that i replied to a message from irc. ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜…16:48
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> When you use Kubuntu on live mode, if you do something like apt-get update/upgrade, will it be saved on the USB for future usages?17:11
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> I mean if you do a apt-get update/upgrade while in live mode, and then install Kubuntu, will that update/upgrade you did be applied?17:11
geniino17:11
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> So everything you do while in live mode, gets saved in RAM or in the USB (as temp files)?17:12
geniiAny packages you install or updates you apply while running from the live version are in the ramdisk of the live running version17:13
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> Is there a way to make it permanent?17:14
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> So that you have a portable OS on your USB which is customized by your needs.17:14
geniiWhen you run the installer it installs a fresh system onto whichever disk or other media you selected, it does not care what updates or packages were installed into the live one17:15
genii!persistent17:15
ubottuFor information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent17:15
geniiThe bot's last link there is about how to make changes on a USB stay persistent17:15
IrcsomeBot<Flooding> Nice, it comes in handy. (re @IrcsomeBot: <ubottu> For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent)17:22
