=== anon is now known as Sneed === Sneed is now known as Sneedo [03:16] hello [03:17] anyone here help with partitioning disk for a dual install? [03:18] Hi, what help? [03:20] i've never done it and only know a little about partitioning tbh [03:21] i was expecting a guided install like other distros but this doesn't seem to have one [03:23] Kubuntu does have a guided install. What options do you get? [03:24] hold on [03:25] is use entire disk and setup lvm what i want? [03:26] i have solus installed and did lvm and full disk install and i want kubuntu with it [03:26] Ah ok that's the problem then [03:27] what is? [03:27] You didn't leave space for other installations [03:28] so i reinstall solus and partition there? [03:29] or i guess do it now with kubuntu, i don't mind wiping the disk [03:29] If you don't have much experience with partitioning etc, I would suggest a simpler setup [03:29] I.e. without LVM [03:30] Then the "other installer" will be able to resize the partition and make space for dual installations much more easily [03:30] ok, i just read the instructions on the solus install said lvm made it easier [03:30] cool, thank you [03:31] LVM 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] Unfortunately the installers aren't yet smart enough to cooperate on lvm with other installations, afaik [03:32] nothing is smart anymore [03:32] any difference if i install kubuntu or solus first that you know of? [03:33] I don't think so, both should be able to work fine with non-lvm setups [03:33] ok, here we go again. thanks for your help [03:34] go suns [06:04] Good morning === Lord_of_Life_ is now known as Lord_of_Life [08:26] 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] https://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=159&t=461537 [08:27] 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 appreciated [12:51] How to switch from windows kubuntu without losing data [12:51] Without losing data it's very important [12:51] My already have a flashed usb [13:01] 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) [13:11] No other way [13:15] How many physical drives do you have? [13:16] C and E (re @IrcsomeBot: How many physical drives do you have?) [13:17] why didn't you say so from the start.... [13:18] C that have windows installed [13:19] E have 25 GB [13:20] And C have 438 GB with data and windows installed [13:27] 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] 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] Then install Kubuntu on the unallocated space. (re @ADHIVP: E have 25 GB) [13:28] Oh kk [13:28] Can you guide me setup process [13:28] And then after the installation delete Windows, Program files, and other folders [13:28] And I don't understand why you put your data in your OS drive [13:29] Process of deleting drive E or [13:29] Proccess of installing Kubuntu? (re @ADHIVP: Can you guide me setup process) [13:29] No [13:29] Linux swap efi like that [13:31] 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] I don't recall the exact steps, It would guide you at the installation, if necessary. [13:31] You don't have to do anything in regards to SWAP, imo. [13:31] 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) [13:32] Ok [13:32] I will check in youtube [13:32] Any way thanks [13:34] + [13:34] 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] Ok [13:51] It was 12pm in my country😂😂 (re @IrcsomeBot: Good morning) === abdurrahman is now known as abdurrahman_ === abdurrahman_ is now known as abdurrahman [16:34] Hi, can Kubuntu run from a usb stick and also persistent? [16:44] you should be able to afaik [16:45] they are already gone (re @ri5h46h: you should be able to afaik) [16:48] exactly, i always forget to recognise that i replied to a message from irc. 😂😅 [17:11] 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] 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] no [17:12] So everything you do while in live mode, gets saved in RAM or in the USB (as temp files)? [17:13] Any packages you install or updates you apply while running from the live version are in the ramdisk of the live running version [17:14] Is there a way to make it permanent? [17:14] So that you have a portable OS on your USB which is customized by your needs. [17:15] When 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 one [17:15] !persistent [17:15] 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 [17:15] The bot's last link there is about how to make changes on a USB stay persistent [17:22] Nice, it comes in handy.
