JackFrost | arraybolt3: FWIW, Xubuntu only does 3 year LTSes. While yes the underlaying Ubuntu is 5, that only covers main and a lot of Xubuntu is in universe. | 00:40 |
---|---|---|
arraybolt3 | JackFrost: Right, sorry, forgot about that. | 00:46 |
JackFrost | First thought for people wanting to stick on 18.04 is that they have i386 hardware. Not the case here though. | 00:46 |

aleksandr | hi | 15:52 |
diogenes_Vx15 | !hi | aleksandr | 15:52 |
ubottu | aleksandr: Hi!, Welcome to #xubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines. Enjoy your stay! | 15:52 |
johnmills | Hi, am brand new to all of this. Want to use my Lenovo yoga laptop to run Klipper for my 3D printer. I have found some videos on how to use Xubuntu to achieve this, and since I am a noob, planned to follow the directions faithfully. However, I don't want to single purpose the laptop, and would like to dual boot windows AND a workable ?ubuntu. I | 15:52 |
aleksandr | just put the xubuntu.iso file on the flash drive with Ventoy but when booting my iMac 2013 i get from Ventoy that no UEFI boot file found | 15:52 |
johnmills | see instructions on how to set up regular Ubuntu. Suggestions? | 15:52 |
johnmills | also new to this channel, liberia.chat, etc | 15:54 |
aleksandr | how can the UEFI boot file be missing if i can see that xubuntu iso is on the flashdisk | 15:54 |
aleksandr | my iMac has only 4GB DDR RAM so its too slow for Ubuntu so i want xubuntu | 15:57 |
diogenes_Vx15 | aleksandr: but does it boot ubuntu? | 15:58 |
aleksandr | yes | 15:58 |
aleksandr | but all the Web browsers constantly crash | 15:58 |
aleksandr | firefox chromium opera | 15:58 |
diogenes_Vx15 | then just install ubuntu and then install xubuntu-desktop package and tell you honestly it's not ubuntu's fault, modern web browsers are way too memory hungry, a simple facebook tab can tak 1 GB of memory. | 15:59 |
diogenes_Vx15 | take* | 16:00 |
aleksandr | so i burned a Ventoy to a usb flash drive and put the xubuntu iso on it but after i get the USB flashdrive appear at the bootup screen and pressing enter Ventroy it says UEFI boot file is not found | 16:00 |
diogenes_Vx15 | aleksandr: try writing the ISO directly without ventoy. | 16:00 |
aleksandr | ok | 16:00 |
aleksandr | writing | 16:02 |
aleksandr | i will install Xubuntu instead of ubuntu on my Dual boot iMac 2k13 | 16:02 |
aleksandr | ok rebooting now to install xubuntu | 16:03 |
johnmills | Ok, sorry. Just read the help guidelines. So, how do I set up a dual boot Xubuntu on a Lenovo Yoga Y10 with existing Windows 10, 16 gb memory, i7-7500 cpu. I have already shrunk the partition and set one up to recieve the Xubuntu. | 16:05 |
diogenes_Vx15 | johnmills: how did you do that? | 16:07 |
johnmills | its fairly straightforward. Go to disk manager, select the partition, I think right click, and select "shrink partition" or something like that. Then enter the amount you want to shrink the existing partiton, then activate the new piece with a drive letter etc. I googled dual boot ubuntu windows 10, and there were lots of guides. Not sure | 16:11 |
johnmills | which link I looked at, sorry. Was not sure if I could just substute the Xubuntu for the Ubuntu in the steps | 16:11 |
johnmills | from windows 10 of course | 16:12 |
diogenes_Vx15 | johnmills: so how much free space did you make?> | 16:12 |
johnmills | 150 gb out of a 1 tb ssd | 16:13 |
diogenes_Vx15 | ok now boot Xubuntu off the USB drive. | 16:13 |
johnmills | Ok, one min. From the previous website. I just flashed the downloaded ISO to the USB using balenaEtcher. Not sure if that makes a bootable disk, but tarting up the boot manager, selected boot from USB. Then I got a menu that allowed "try or install", so I guess it does! Clicked. Ok, NOW I see a message that says I can install it alongside | 16:27 |
johnmills | or instead of current op system. Dont remember seeing that before I created the new partion. I have to use a magnifying glass to see it...its a 4k screen. | 16:27 |
diogenes_Vx15 | johnmills: lol that's something new with magnifying glasss. | 16:28 |
johnmills | yeah, hoping I can change screen resolution soon! | 16:29 |
diogenes_Vx15 | ok you ho through the installation steps until you reach partitioning, there you have to choose manual paritioning and once you reach that, let us know. | 16:29 |
diogenes_Vx15 | go* | 16:29 |
johnmills | will do, thanks | 16:30 |
johnmills | Ok, so now I have to learn a few more things. After activating wifi, I get a message saying I have to turn off intel Rapid Storage Technology. It gives a cr cod and help.ubuntu.com/rst link | 16:35 |
johnmills | going there now | 16:35 |
johnmills | this is going to take a while. also, wife just called me to breakfast, and her op sys commands overule all! back soon, and thanks | 16:40 |
aleksandr | well xubuntu runs much better then Ubuntu | 17:31 |
Guest4553 | hola | 17:59 |
johnmills | well, so much for help.ubuntu.com/rst. Did what they said, it blue screened like they said it might, but none of the "fixes" are accessable. bricked without a restore. | 18:11 |
johnmills | sigh....failure. Apparently for a Lenovo Yoga 910, Windows must be completely reinstalled in AHCI disk mode before it will dual boot any flavor of Linux derived OS's. Lots of consequences also. | 18:29 |
johnmills | Success. Found the right video that explicitly shows how to do it on the Lenovo Yoga 910. Now, am at the point I have three selections....install alongside Windows 10 boot manager, erase windows and disk (NO NO NO), and "something else". I expect diogenes_Vx15 was going to guide me into the something else, but now he is gone. Does anyone | 22:45 |
johnmills | else know what to do from this point. I have previously set up a separate partition for Xubuntu to reside in by shrinking the existing C and making a new partition and drive letter. | 22:45 |
johnmills | I am new here, sorry, I expect many do not know what I am doing. Trying to install dual boot Xubuntu on a Windows 10 Lenovo Yoga 910 laptop, 16gb mem, 1TB ssd. I have previously setup a separate 150gb partition and drive "X" on the ssd, and used balenEtcher to flash the Xubuntu iso to the USB. Apparently that made it bootable also. I am now | 22:54 |
johnmills | at the install stage, and have the choices shown above. | 22:54 |
johnmills | I previously had to figure out how to get the RST disk controller mode reset to ACHI. It was finicky but straightforward once I found the right steps. lenovos are finicky | 22:55 |
johnmills | in general | 22:55 |
johnmills | Oh well, taking the default. Wondering if I am doing something wrong on the chat page. Awfully quiet for so many people here.... | 23:02 |
