[00:40] <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.
[00:46] <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.
[07:56] <alan_70> hi

[08:59] <kkkssf> No :)
[08:59] <kkkssf> why?
[08:59] <kkkssf> hello btw
[09:01] <Kuschelpony> too late for licho
[09:01] <Kuschelpony> from my side, best wishes for a new year of Xubuntu
[15:52] <aleksandr> hi
[15:52] <diogenes_Vx15> !hi | aleksandr
[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?
[15:54] <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
[15:57] <aleksandr> my iMac has only 4GB DDR RAM so its too slow for Ubuntu so i want xubuntu
[15:58] <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
[15:59] <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.
[16:00] <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
[16:02] <aleksandr> writing
[16:02] <aleksandr> i will install Xubuntu instead of ubuntu on my Dual boot iMac 2k13
[16:03] <aleksandr> ok rebooting now to install xubuntu
[16:05] <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.
[16:07] <diogenes_Vx15> johnmills: how did you do that?
[16:11] <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
[16:12] <johnmills> from windows 10 of course
[16:12] <diogenes_Vx15> johnmills: so how much free space did you make?>
[16:13] <johnmills> 150 gb out of a 1 tb ssd
[16:13] <diogenes_Vx15> ok now boot Xubuntu off the USB drive.
[16:27] <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.
[16:28] <diogenes_Vx15> johnmills: lol that's something new with magnifying glasss.
[16:29] <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*
[16:30] <johnmills> will do, thanks
[16:35] <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
[16:40] <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
[17:31] <aleksandr> well xubuntu runs much better then Ubuntu
[17:59] <Guest4553> hola
[18:11] <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.
[18:29] <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.
[22:45] <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.
[22:54] <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.
[22:55] <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
[23:02] <johnmills> Oh well, taking the default.  Wondering if I am doing something wrong on the chat page.  Awfully quiet for so many people here....
