| Andre_209 | Hello everything is fine? I need help with partitioning. So, I'm wanting to replace Linux Mint Cinnamon with Xubuntu but I don't know how to do the partitioning. | 15:26 |
|---|---|---|
| Andre_209 | I'm using Windows 8.1 together with Mint and I'm afraid of doing something wrong. The only thing I want is to exchange Linux Mint for Xubuntu without harming Windows. Even though I have already made a backup of the | 15:26 |
| Andre_209 | Windows files, I didn't want to lose mine by corrupting it, you know. | 15:26 |
| Andre_209 | Please help me! (sorry for my English!) | 15:26 |
| xangua | Did you manually do the partition when you installed Mint? Andre_209 | 15:37 |
| Andre_209 | yes | 15:39 |
| xangua | A / and a /home separate partition I assume | 15:41 |
| Andre_209 | I didn't separate | 15:44 |
| xangua | Then backup your files in Mint, if you have something important there, and just select in the Xubuntu installer to replace your Mint installation | 15:47 |
| Andre_209 | I don't have anything important in Linux Mint | 15:48 |
| Andre_209 | The problem I have is when partitioning, because I don't know how to do it | 15:49 |
| Andre_209 | Just put / above the Mint partition? | 15:50 |
| xangua | Are you the one who installed Mint in this computer? Andre_209 | 15:52 |
| Andre_209 | yes | 15:53 |
| xangua | "put / above the Mint partition" in the installer did you select the option to "reinstall Xubuntu" or the "something else"? | 15:54 |
| xangua | Yes you can put everything under / | 15:55 |
| Andre_209 | Do you need to separate /boot? | 15:56 |
| Andre_209 | xangua "something else" | 15:57 |
| Andre_209 | because I have Windows installed on my computer | 15:57 |
| xangua | I just use separate / and /home partition, no you don't need to Andre_209 | 15:58 |

| Andre_209 | my computer turned off | 16:08 |
| Andre_209 | But, where do you need to put /boot? | 16:09 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | Andre_209, you only need a separate /boot if you use encryption. | 16:12 |
| Andre_209 | So just put the / on top of the Mint partition? | 16:15 |
| Andre_209 | and create a swap? | 16:15 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | what Mint partition? I don't know the whole story i've just joined/ | 16:16 |
| Andre_209 | sorry | 16:19 |
| Andre_209 | I have Linux Mint and Windows on my computer and I want to exchange Mint for Xubuntu | 16:20 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | Andre_209, do you have any important data on that Mint install? | 16:21 |
| Andre_209 | I don't have that much experience in Linux. In fact, my knowledge is almost zero. That's why I'm asking for help with partitioning | 16:22 |
| Andre_209 | Sorry if I said something wrong | 16:22 |
| Andre_209 | diogenes_Vx15 no | 16:22 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | how was Mint installed on that PC? or rather who installed it/? | 16:23 |
| Andre_209 | I installed it | 16:24 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | so you have some experience hence it's not zero. | 16:24 |
| Andre_209 | I think so | 16:25 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | ok then what system are you now on? | 16:26 |
| Andre_209 | Mint | 16:26 |
| Andre_209 | Linux Mint Cinnamon to be more exact | 16:27 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | ok open a terminal and run: lsblk | nc termbin.com 9999 | 16:27 |
| diogenes_Vx15 | you will get and url in the terminal, share it with us. | 16:28 |
