[01:32] <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.
[01:37] <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.
[13:49] <xu-irc18w> i need help
[13:50] <xu-irc18w> with xubuntu
[13:55] <arraybolt3> xu-irc18w: How can we help?
[14:01] <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
[14:07] <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.
[14:08] <xu-irc18w> yeah just let me restart
[14:51] <xu-irc18w> the problem from before solved but now i cant select my instalation path
[14:53] <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
[14:54] <xu-irc18w> imgur.com/oUp3i1l.png
[14:55] <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.)
[14:56] <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?
[14:57] <xu-irc18w> yes the entire drive
[14:58] <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.
[14:59] <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
[15:14] <xu-irc18w> ok im finished with the back ups
[15:17] <xu-irc18w> can you tell me how this  Manual partitioning works
[15:19] <arraybolt3> xu-irc18w: Easy. So are you add the manual partitioning screen?
[15:20] <xu-irc18w> wait a sec
[15:22] <xu-irc18w> im just switched to my phone
[15:23] <xu-irc18w78> It loads long
[15:29] <Xu-irc18w> Oh my two systems just met I think
[15:36] <Xu-irc18w> Ok I'm in
[15:58] <bob> can somoene help me with the instalation of xubuntu
[16:09] <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?)
[16:13] <bob> yes
[16:14] <arraybolt3> bob: OK, and you're at the manual partitioning screen?
[16:14] <bob> yees
[16:14] <bob> *yes
[16:15] <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?

[16:18] <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
[16:19] <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
[16:20] <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
[16:33] <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
[16:34] <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.
[16:35] <bob> there stands sdb1 or shoud i take sdb
[16:35] <arraybolt3> bob: Click the /dev/sdb device (not the /dev/sdb1 partition).
[16:36] <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.
[16:37] <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/
[16:38] <bob> ok wait i need to put that in a translator
[16:39] <bob> ok done
[16:39] <arraybolt3> Wait hold on, let me just put my installer in German.
[16:40] <arraybolt3> (Everything you did was right, I'm just going to make it easier for the rest of the steps.)
[16:41] <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
[16:42] <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".
[16:43] <bob> ok
[16:44] <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.
[16:45] <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

[16:47] <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.)
