[13:45] <lubot> <Arnab> Hello
[13:46] <guiverc> @Arnab, if you have a Lubuntu support question, please just ask it, and be patient waiting for a response, people will when they can.
[13:46] <lubot> <Arnab> Trying to install lubuntu 19.10..but getting the following error!
[13:46] <lubot> <Arnab> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/SvUqXTy.jpg
[13:49] <guiverc> @Arnab, did you use the "Check disk for defects" option, it's likely your write to install media failed. (mentioned in this page - https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/1/1.3/installation.html)
[13:50] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @lubuntu_bot checked the disk. No error!
[13:53] <dafadar> Hi
[13:53] <guiverc> If your machine (during install boot) is still running, a `dmesg |grep squashfs` should produce only a copyright type notice.. you'll see squashfs errors if it's what I was thinking of..
[14:00] <bazztux> Hey guys
[14:00] <bazztux> What's Ubuntu?

[14:01] <ubottu> Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com
[14:01] <bazztux> Thanks
[14:02] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @guiverc 'dmesg |grep squashfs' returns a version with the name of the person!
[14:03] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/3kPikwe.jpg
[14:05] <guiverc> that is the expected line (I referred to as copyright type notice), your issue is not squashfs; i was wrong sorry.
[14:05] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @guiverc okay! Thanks.
[14:06] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Zorin Os and Linux Mint seems to install absolutely fine..but this issue i am facing only while installing Lubuntu
[14:07] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/udbmRdH.jpg This is the partition option i get when trying to install
[14:37] <santimir[m]> Is it lubuntu manual page on the system out of the box? I cant find it

[15:01] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> Made a promo video
[15:01] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> @tsimonq2
[15:01] <lubot> <tsimonq2> Okay cool
[15:01] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> Sharing :)
[15:01] <lubot> <tsimonq2> Wrong channel though :}
[15:01] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> Ah made a mistake
[15:02] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> Will post in Dev

[15:20] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Rudra Nice Promo 😃
[15:20] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> Thanks :)
[15:21] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Can't seem to install it to enjoy the perks of Lubuntu ☹️
[15:21] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> Ah, I guess we'll need an installation guide
[15:22] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> https://manual.lubuntu.me/stable/1/1.3/installation.html
[15:22] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> Hope it works out
[15:22] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> :)
[15:23] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> That would be great! But I think, the issue I am facing is something odd!
[15:24] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> What?
[15:25] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> What's the issue?
[15:25] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/JwTnxbX.jpg I am getting this! 😶😐
[15:28] <lubot> <TheLimeRunner> Have you verified the ISO and tried a different install medium (IE: used a different usb key)?
[15:29] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> I know another guy who faced the issue and it was an issue relating to downloads. Bittorrent should help since it verifies while downloading
[15:29] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> I am doing that now! Downloading via torrent and will be create a live usb on a different pendrive
[15:29] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Will update you about the progress
[15:29] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Thanks
[15:32] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Rudra Music of the promo video is catchy...may i know which one did you use?
[15:32] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> Had one lying around, sharing
[15:36] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Okay
[15:39] <santimir[m]> maybe useful https://forum.manjaro.org/t/boost-python-error-in-job-unpackfs-while-installing-18-0-4/85666
[15:42] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> @arnabdafadar
[15:43] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Rudra Thanks! Its my new ringtone 😎
[15:44] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> 😀
[16:13] <lubot> <kc2bez> @arnabdafadar [<reply to image>], You will need to unmount the mmc device before starting the installer.
=== BrianG61UK__ is now known as BrianG61UK
[16:26] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @kc2bez [You will need to unmount the mmc device before starting the installer.], Tried installing Lubuntu 16.04 and it installed fine. But want to try 19.10. can you please list the steps to unmount the mmc? I am a bit noob in linux 😐
[16:28] <lubot> <kc2bez> no problem. I will list out some steps. if you need clarification please let me know.
[16:28] <lubot> <kc2bez> step 1 reboot into a live session.
[16:29] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Okqy
[16:29] <lubot> <kc2bez> step 2 once booted, open kde partition manager. It can be found in the menu under system tools.
[16:30] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Okay
[16:30] <lubot> <kc2bez> step 3 once kde partition manager opens you should see devices on the left pane. select the mmc device.
[16:31] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @kc2bez Btw..the bootable usb i have created is NTFS formatted. That shouldn't be the issue right?
[16:32] <lubot> <kc2bez> what did you use to write the USB?
[16:34] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Rufus... selected GPT partition scheme and NTFS format.... … Since i am loading this ubuntu in a BayTrail based processor, i have to manually copy a bootia32.efi file inside the /EFI/BOOT folder in the live usb
[16:35] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @arnabdafadar [Rufus... selected GPT partition scheme and NTFS format.... … Since i am loading th …], With this exact method, i have successfully installed ZORIN OS and Linux Mint...no issues there
[16:35] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> But lubuntu is giving me the problem
[16:35] <lubot> <kc2bez> ok. it may not matter. let's keep going with unmounting the mmc device.
[16:35] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Yup
[16:36] <lubot> <kc2bez> step 4 on the right pane you should see the partition select it and right click. one of the options should be unmount
[16:38] <lubot> <kc2bez> step 5 once it is unmounted restart the installer.
[16:39] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Give me 1 min.. following your steps
[16:40] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/pSsRXzd.jpg I am supposed to select the one which is selected on the left... correct?
[16:42] <lubot> <kc2bez> You have it selected correct. now right click on the partitions in the right hand side and select unmount.
[16:43] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/b33bjiU.jpg Unmounted the one selected in blue inside the pink circle
[16:43] <lubot> <kc2bez> I would unmount the other 2 if you have the option
[16:44] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Those two are not mounted i guess...the unmount option is greyed out
[16:44] <lubot> <kc2bez> ok.
[16:45] <lubot> <kc2bez> try the installer now to see if the erase option is there.
[16:45] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Ok.. trying
[16:46] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/M5Q9PIQ.jpg Now it shows the familiar options 😁😁
[16:46] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Giving it a try.. hoping it will run
[16:46] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @kc2bez Thanks a ton! Much appreciated 🙂🙂
[16:47] <lubot> <kc2bez> sounds good. please let us know.
[16:47] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Sure! Will do
[16:47] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Oops!
[16:47] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Same thing ☹️
[16:47] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x720) https://i.imgur.com/ePmfjM2.jpg
[16:48] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Opening kde partition manager, i can see the mmc partitions mounted again
[16:48] <lubot> <kc2bez> you may want to try burning the iso with balena etcher.
[16:49] <lubot> <kc2bez> yeah the installer mounted them
[16:49] <lubot> <kc2bez> since it didn't finish correctly it never unmounted
[16:49] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Balena will not do the job... because i need the live usb to be in GPT format for UEFI boot
[16:50] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Balena does not give me the option to select GPT or MBR
[16:50] <lubot> <kc2bez> even with Lubuntu?
[16:50] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @kc2bez [even with Lubuntu?], Sorry? I didn't get you
[16:51] <lubot> <kc2bez> I think it may boot correctly but perhaps I am wrong.
[16:51] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Lubuntu iso is GPT formatted or MBR?
[16:52] <lubot> <kc2bez> it should handle either EFI or bios legacy boot.
[16:53] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Let me give it a try...other distros burned with balena...never worked on the system i used...let me try with lubuntu...will update you in 5 mins
[16:53] <toumbo> I'm a Greek user who just installed 19.10 an I seek a way to add greek layout
[16:53] <lubot> <kc2bez> ok thanks @arnabdafadar

[17:00] <lubot> <Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης> So... … I'm a Greek user who just installed 19.10 and I seek a way to add greek layout
[17:02] <lubot> <kc2bez> @Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης [So... … I'm a Greek user who just installed 19.10 and I seek a way to add greek la …], I am not sure the best way to do that. Hopefully someone else does.
[17:03] <lubot> <Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης> Maybe there are multiple ways, interesting
[17:05] <lubot> <Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης> On previous lxde versions, I used a panel widget for this
[17:05] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> Updated the logo for the video: Updated video: https://youtu.be/r1KSf9b0elE
[17:05] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> According to what @HMollerCl said
[17:24] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @kc2bez well... created a live media using balena...but i need to copy bootia32.efi file inside /EFI/BOOT in the pendrive...and the folder inside the pendrive is read only (thats what balena does)
[17:25] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> Try Rufus
[17:25] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Chown and chmod is not working to remove the read only attributes..and hence can not boot from that
[17:25] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> What about dd?
[17:25] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> I was using rufus only..but @kc2bez suggested to try with balena once..but it seems rufus is the way i have to go
[17:26] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> Rufus should be used in such cases
[17:26] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> My installation error for lubuntu is still there! 😬😬
[17:27] <lubot> <kc2bez> Very strange indeed. I don't have a good answer unfortunately.
[17:28] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Anything else i should try?
[17:29] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> Try with CSM in your BIOS
[17:30] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> No csm option in bios
[17:30] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Its an old system
[17:30] <lubot> <Rudra Bali> Select Legacy Boot
[17:44] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Well...let me try a different approach..
[17:46] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> I will try and install Lubuntu 19.10 in my newer system with latest AMD processor and AsRock motherboard....if it installs correctly..then my old system is the culprit.... otherwise i have no idea 😶
[17:46] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @kc2bez Rudra will keep you posted!
[17:47] <lubot> <kc2bez> Ok thanks @arnabdafadar
[18:06] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Well..
[18:08] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @kc2bez Rudra posted the error.
[18:08] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> (Photo, 1280x960) https://i.imgur.com/a3M9J8l.jpg The same issue persists in my newer system as well. Well...now i have no idea 😬
[18:09] <lubot> <kc2bez> @arnabdafadar out of curiosity, where did you download from?
[18:09] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Lubuntu website
[18:09] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Torrent download
[18:10] <lubot> <kc2bez> which site exactly?
[18:10] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> (Photo, 606x1280) https://i.imgur.com/UQDS2d1.jpg
[18:10] <lubot> <Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης> .me or .net?
[18:11] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> https://lubuntu.me/downloads/
[18:11] <lubot> <kc2bez> ok good, just wanted to make sure.
[18:11] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Okay
[18:11] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Should i try with 20.04?
[18:12] <lubot> <kc2bez> I am not sure. Maybe it is an issue with the USB itself? Do you have another one to try?
[18:12] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> I have 4 USBs... tried with two
[18:12] <lubot> <kc2bez> 20.04 wouldn't be a bad test either.
[18:12] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Okay downloading 20.04 and creating a fresh usb
[18:13] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> This error has snatched away my sleep!! 😣
[18:13] <lubot> <kc2bez> Sorry for that.
[18:14] <lubot> <kc2bez> I am at a loss. usually squashfs errors are due to a bad download or disk.
[18:15] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Let me try with this 20.04 and a new usb..will keep posted
[18:15] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Whats squashfs exactly?
[18:15] <lubot> <kc2bez> Ok thanks.
[18:15] <lubot> <kc2bez> that is the compressed image that gets transferred to your Target drive.
[18:16] <lubot> <kc2bez> squash=compressed fs=file system
[18:16] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @Βασίλης Τουμπακάρης [.me or .net?], Which version did you install? And did you face any errors? Fresh install?
[18:17] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @kc2bez [squash=compressed fs=file system], Oh! Got it..thanks... lets give 20.04 a try
[18:17] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Any suggestions to clean the usb before making it bootable?
[18:18] <lubot> <kc2bez> a format can't hurt. usually the writing tool overwrites the drive.
[18:19] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Yaa..will format it via cmd and try it
[18:20] <lubot> <kc2bez> I don't really use Windows so I can't help too much with that. I usually use `dd` from the command line. I understand that isn't the most straight forward method.
[18:20] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Okay no issues. Will clean it up and give it a try
[18:21] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Btw..thanks for all the help till now 🙂
[18:24] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> (Photo, 606x1280) https://i.imgur.com/s9ssUgb.jpg @kc2bez do you think this might be of any help?
[18:27] <lubot> <kc2bez> I guess you could try that but I would not think that was the issue here.
[18:27] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Okay
[18:27] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Lets see
[19:06] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @kc2bez Hey.. good news I guess! 20.04 did not give that error and got past that step..still installing ...keeping my fingers crossed!
[19:07] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> One thing i did different is that i formatted the bootable usb in fat32 instead of NTFS i was doing earlier...
[19:07] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Will try 19.10 with fat32 tomorrow and will let you know
[19:07] <kc2bez> Ok thanks.
[19:07] <kc2bez> I appreciate the update.
[19:08] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @kc2bez Thanks once again 🙂
[19:08] <kc2bez> You are most welcome.
[19:10] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> @kc2bez Btw..just curious..when will 20.04 stable be released?
[19:11] <kc2bez> The end of April.
[19:11] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Great! Thanks
[19:11] <lubot> <arnabdafadar> Bye
[19:11] <kc2bez> On or around the 23rd.
[19:12] <kc2bez> Ok take care.
