davidhurwichhi, wondering if I could ask a question about Lubuntu04:48
kc2bezThis is the place for Lubuntu support. 04:50
davidhurwichI installed Lubuntu 16.04 on an older HP laptop. The installation went through, but when the computer boots or reboots I get a message that states “No bootable image found, notebook will be shutdown” The laptop then shuts down04:54
davidhurwichWhen I turn on the computer and go into Boot Option I can run it until an option marked Ubuntu04:54
davidhurwichHow can I get the OS to boot automatically when the computer boots up?04:55
davidhurwichAny advice would be appreciated04:56
kc2bez16.04 is unfortunately EOL and unsupported. 05:01

ubottuEnd-Of-Life is when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop. Make sure to update Ubuntu before it goes EOL so you get updates promptly for newly-discovered security vulnerabilities. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOL and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more info. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades05:02
davidhurwichis there a way to update the OS for Lubuntu without wiping the hard drive clean?05:03

auctusif i drag an icon from the "start menu" (or whatever its called) to the desktop to create a shortcut, and then I click the shortcut, it says "This file seems to be a desktop entry. What do you want to do with it? Open, Execute, Cancel21:34
auctusalso it has a little (!) icon on it21:34
auctushow do i make uh, normal desktop icons that just open when you click them?21:34
Maikhttps://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/5/5.2/desktop_icons.html21:37
Maikauctus: maybe there's some info in the manual ^21:37
auctusah, right click and select trusted; i see, thanks21:39
auctusperhaps that should be the default for things that came with lubuntu, e.g. firefox21:40
krytarikWell, the desktop item you just created by cloning the one from the menu, didn't though.21:48
auctusi suppose it's difficult, because although firefox is trusted, the contents of the .desktop file could in theory be anything21:50
krytarikThe 'trusted' bit only relates to the launcher.21:51
