| Simon15 | Hi, just trying to install Lubuntu on an old desktop and i'm struggling with the partitions, the installer is asking me to configure but I cannot get to a configuration where it will let me press "next" | 10:02 |
|---|---|---|
| Simon15 | there is no option to "erase disk", just the option to "manual partitioning" | 10:05 |
| lubot | [matrix] <kc2bez> If your disk has a swap partition you might need to disable that before starting the installer. | 10:07 |
| Simon15 | Hi, is that the "sudo swapoff -a" command? | 10:07 |
| lubot | [matrix] <kc2bez> Yes, but you would also want to `umount` that partition too. | 10:08 |
| lubot | [matrix] <kc2bez> Erase disk might not show if your disk is an eMMC too. It looks like a removable drive and the live system automatically mounts it. You should be able to just unmount it before starting the installer and erase should show then. | 10:12 |
| Simon15 | Ah, how do I unmount? | 10:12 |
| Simon15 | I think the disk is a SATA....around 2Tb | 10:14 |
| lubot | [matrix] <kc2bez> The gui method is to use KDE Partition manager. Select the partition and in the tools menu unmopunt should be there. | 10:14 |
| lubot | [matrix] <kc2bez> *unmount | 10:15 |
| lubot | [matrix] <kc2bez> sorry, partition menu | 10:16 |
| Simon15 | Thanks, I have un-mounted what apears to be the only mounted partition, I have restarted the installer and I still get just the "manual partitioning" option. Do I need to restart the machine? | 10:19 |
| lubot | [matrix] <kc2bez> No, you shouldn't need to. If you do restart you will need to make sure everything is unmounted again. | 10:20 |
| lubot | [matrix] <kc2bez> I am not sure why it won't let you select erase disk. I guess verify it is selected in the drop down menu on the partition page. | 10:22 |
| lubot | [matrix] <kc2bez> Which version of Lubuntu are you attempting to install? | 10:24 |
| Simon15 | 22.04 | 10:26 |
| Simon15 | Could there be more than one partition mounted? I think I have now got the "erase disk option....thanks for your help! | 10:29 |
| lubot | [matrix] <kc2bez> It is possible that there was more than one. | 10:29 |
| lubot | [matrix] <kc2bez> You are welcome. | 10:30 |
| Simon15 | looking forward to trying what appears to be a very smart OS | 10:31 |
| Simon15 | I'm hitting the install button now, so will probably get disconnected | 10:32 |
| simon15 | so near yet so far | 13:28 |
| simon15 | I have to boot from my usb in 'safe display', then I've managed to get the hard disk install to work....but when I reboot, the display does not work...any suggestions? | 13:29 |
| simon15 | any help greatly appreciated | 13:47 |
