| grimpo | just booted into a fresh install of 22.04 and neither firefox nor chromium (both allegedly already installed) will launch. the errors appear to be snap related. | 01:32 |
|---|---|---|
| grimpo | i think cannonical may have finally jumped the shark. i'll boot back into 18.04 (where I still have access to a graphical web browser) and investigate the current state of mint / debian / etc. | 01:37 |
| xu-irc18w | i need help | 13:49 |
| xu-irc18w | with xubuntu | 13:50 |
| arraybolt3 | xu-irc18w: How can we help? | 13:55 |
| xu-irc18w | i want to install it alongside windows 10, it says it found it but i cant pick the option to install it alongside windows | 14:01 |
| arraybolt3 | xu-irc18w: Can you show a screenshot of the part where it won't let you install alongside? You can upload the screenshot to Imgur and then send the link here. | 14:07 |
| xu-irc18w | yeah just let me restart | 14:08 |
| xu-irc18w | the problem from before solved but now i cant select my instalation path | 14:51 |
| arraybolt3 | xu-irc18w: Installation path? Not sure what that means, do you have multiple drives in the computer and are unable to select which drive to install to? | 14:53 |
| xu-irc18w | yes | 14:53 |
| arraybolt3 | Ah. OK, can I see a screenshot of the issue? | 14:53 |
| xu-irc18w | there is only one out of three | 14:53 |
| xu-irc18w | yes | 14:53 |
| xu-irc18w | wait | 14:53 |
| xu-irc18w | imgur.com/oUp3i1l.png | 14:54 |
| xu-irc18w | oh sorry i just saw its german | 14:55 |
| arraybolt3 | xu-irc18w: OK, I see the problem, I think. No other drives appear when clicking the drop-down right? | 14:55 |
| xu-irc18w | yes | 14:55 |
| arraybolt3 | (I don't mind foreign languages. I've used the Ubuntu installers many times and know what I'm looking at even when it's in other languages.) | 14:55 |
| xu-irc18w | ok | 14:56 |
| arraybolt3 | OK, so, are you trying to install Xubuntu entirely to one drive? Is it intended to take over the entire drive that you install it onto? | 14:56 |
| arraybolt3 | Or do you need it to take part of the space of the other drive? | 14:56 |
| xu-irc18w | yes the entire drive | 14:57 |
| arraybolt3 | xu-irc18w: OK. Click the button to go back, then select "Something Else" (the option at the bottom of the list). Manual partitioning will be the easiest and safest way to do this. | 14:58 |
| arraybolt3 | (Also, just as a side note, it's probably a good idea to have backups of your important data before installing a second OS like thiss) | 14:59 |
| arraybolt3 | *this | 14:59 |
| xu-irc18w | ok i will make some back ups now | 14:59 |
| xu-irc18w | ok im finished with the back ups | 15:14 |
| xu-irc18w | can you tell me how this Manual partitioning works | 15:17 |
| arraybolt3 | xu-irc18w: Easy. So are you add the manual partitioning screen? | 15:19 |
| xu-irc18w | wait a sec | 15:20 |
| xu-irc18w | im just switched to my phone | 15:22 |
| xu-irc18w78 | It loads long | 15:23 |
| === xu-irc18w78 is now known as Xu-irc18w | ||
| Xu-irc18w | Oh my two systems just met I think | 15:29 |
| Xu-irc18w | Ok I'm in | 15:36 |
| bob | can somoene help me with the instalation of xubuntu | 15:58 |
| arraybolt3 | bob: Sorry to be gone so long, had other things take my attention. | 16:09 |
| arraybolt3 | bob: (You are the same user as Xu-irc18w, right?) | 16:09 |
| bob | yes | 16:13 |
| arraybolt3 | bob: OK, and you're at the manual partitioning screen? | 16:14 |
| bob | yees | 16:14 |
| bob | *yes | 16:14 |
| arraybolt3 | OK, so, can you send a screenshot again so I can see what drives are on the display and make sure that everything's working as expected? | 16:15 |
| bob | 1. https://imgur.com/SeAkluj.png | 16:16 |
| bob | 2. https://imgur.com/G5mu3SS.png | 16:16 |
| bob | 3. https://imgur.com/v1I5HHC.png | 16:17 |
| bob | 4. https://imgur.com/i1vhY1R.png | 16:18 |
| arraybolt3 | Crikey, ok, hold on, this is a bit more complicated than I thought it was going to be. Let me make sure I give you good instructions before telling you what to click. | 16:18 |
| bob | 5. https://imgur.com/E3RSKUc.png | 16:18 |
| bob | ok | 16:18 |
| arraybolt3 | Which drive do you want to install to? The 1 TB one with the ext4 filesystem on it? | 16:19 |
| bob | yes i clicked the ext4 accendantly | 16:19 |
| arraybolt3 | OK, this may take a bit since I'm going to try to create a similar setup so that the instructions I give are accurate. | 16:20 |
| bob | ok | 16:20 |
| arraybolt3 | bob: Alright, I'm looking at the manual partitioning screen also. | 16:33 |
| arraybolt3 | You're fine with losing everything on that 1 TB drive with the ext4 partition, right? | 16:33 |
| arraybolt3 | And that's the intended location for Xubuntu to be installed at? | 16:33 |
| bob | yes i put what was on there on my 16 tb drive | 16:33 |
| bob | yes | 16:33 |
| arraybolt3 | Alright. Click on /dev/sdb (the 1 TB drive), and then click "New Partition Table" (looks like Neue Partitionstabelle on your screen). | 16:34 |
| arraybolt3 | Then confirm that you want to make the partition table. | 16:34 |
| bob | there stands sdb1 or shoud i take sdb | 16:35 |
| arraybolt3 | bob: Click the /dev/sdb device (not the /dev/sdb1 partition). | 16:35 |
| bob | ok done | 16:36 |
| arraybolt3 | OK, click the free space under /dev/sdb, then click the + button just under the lower-left corner of the drive list. | 16:36 |
| bob | ok | 16:37 |
| arraybolt3 | This will pop up a "Create partition" window, set the size to 300 MB, partition type as "Primary", location as "Beginning of this space", use as "EFI System Partition". Then click OK. | 16:37 |
| arraybolt3 | This should end up with a 1 MB free space at the beginning of the drive, then the EFI partition, then the rest of the drive's free space, all under the /dev/sdb entry/ | 16:37 |
| bob | ok wait i need to put that in a translator | 16:38 |
| bob | ok done | 16:39 |
| arraybolt3 | Wait hold on, let me just put my installer in German. | 16:39 |
| arraybolt3 | (Everything you did was right, I'm just going to make it easier for the rest of the steps.) | 16:40 |
| arraybolt3 | Alright, click the free space at the end of the drive (just after the EFI partition), then click the + button again. | 16:41 |
| bob | ok | 16:41 |
| arraybolt3 | This time leave "GroBe" where it is (sorry, don't have the key for the etzet character on my keyboard), then make sure "Benutzen als" is set to "Ext4-Journaling-Dateisystem", and set "Einbindungspunkt" to "/". Then press "OK". | 16:42 |
| bob | ok | 16:43 |
| arraybolt3 | Alright, set "Gerat fur die Bootloader-Installation" to /dev/sdb, and finally click "Jetzt installieren". Then make sure that everything is correct (a screen will pop up to confirm), then click "Weiter". | 16:44 |
| arraybolt3 | After that, everything should be pretty much straightforward. | 16:44 |
| arraybolt3 | (Apologies for missing all of the accent marks and whatnot, I didn't miss them, just, en-US keyboards + de language = stuff is missing sometimes) | 16:45 |
| bob | ok is that right | 16:45 |
| bob | If you continue, all changes listed below will be written to the hard disk(s). Otherwise, you can make further changes manually. | 16:46 |
| bob | WARNING: This will destroy all data on partitions that you have removed and partitions that are about to be formatted. | 16:46 |
| bob | The partition tables of the following devices have been changed: | 16:46 |
| bob | SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sdb) | 16:46 |
| bob | The following partitions will be formatted: | 16:46 |
| bob | Partition 1 on SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sdb) as ESP | 16:46 |
| arraybolt3 | bob: What I'm seeing looks right, but pasting stuff right into IRC has caused a bot to mute you before I could see everything. Try putting it in a pastebin site like bpa.st. (Mute lasts for 60 seconds, sorry for the inconvenience.) | 16:47 |
| bob | https://dpaste.com/3TTADEF33 | 16:48 |
| bob | if everthings alright then thank you very much! | 16:49 |
| arraybolt3 | bob: Looks perfect! | 16:49 |
