[Test with lubuntu 10.04 in VirtualBox]
I try the menu "Install Lubuntu" from LiveCD but it does not work. And I remaster Lubuntu follow the methods LiveCDCustomizationFromScratch
and make the custom initrd with preceed file inside to use the option "automatic-ubiqiuty" but it does not work too.
Is this a bug of Ubiqiuty in Lubuntu?
Computer is a Compaq presario v2000, runs fine with windows 7 32 bit. And before that I had Ubuntu on it. I have tried everything I remember that got wireless working with Ubuntu. Also the hardware switch for the wireless does not work while running lubuntu.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to make a Custom Ubuntu Live CD using Remastersys and an installer for the Live CD using Ubiquity. I was able to successfully create a Custom live CD using remastersys and when I boot from the custom Live CD the grub correctly displays the Custom Live CD Name that I specified during the ISO file creation using remastersys. However, when I install from the Live CD that I created, using Ubiquity, after reboot, the Grub menu displays as Ubuntu and not the Custom Label. How can I change it so that after installation, the custom Live CD name is displayed?

I'm guessing the correct pressed instruction will solve this, but I can't find any mention to this...

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am re-installing Ubuntu onto my desktop PC which has Windows 7, openSUSE 11.2 and Fedora Core 12. First I tried Ubuntu 9.10. Near the end of the installation the machine reboots and the monitor shows the following message:
"Ubiquity.components.partman failed - Exit code 10. Further info in /var/log/syslog"
Tried again with Ubuntu 10.04 beta2 with same problem.
How can I view and read /var/log/syslog if Ubuntu fails to be installed and therefore I cannot access this log?
I got an ubiquity error when installing using erase entire disk option.Install just hangs after this error. I have an oldish p4 pc, 40 gb hard drive with faulty windows xp installed on it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to install Lubuntu on a 2GB USB drive. The (L)ubuntu installer (ubiquity) disables the "forward" button since the minimum space required is 3.6gb, although the Lubuntu installation actually is <2gb.I read somewhere this was a handset value but I haven't been able to find out how to override this?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis screenshot alone is alarming: Ubiquity (the installer) knows that it can only be run as root, yet displays the "as superuser" text in parentheses anyway. Why is this?
P.S. I am running Lucid Alpha 3 Daily build.
I've tried two seperate downloads of the 9.10 installation media with the same results, I can't get to the installer. Each time I've tried it boots into the livecd portion. So how do I install this thing? I've even tried from the System/Administration/"Install Ubuntu 9.10" option on the livecd top menu, but get an error: "Sorry the program "ubiquity" closed unexpectedly" there is nothing that explains the installer not running in either dmesg or /var/log/messages. If the livecd can boot, why does the installer not load. I am selecting the "Install Ubuntu" option not the try it without installing option.
View 3 Replies View Relatedmy first go around with LXDE has been miserable. I got every machine I've had my hands on working great with KDE, Gnome (both in netbook too), and XFCE. however I decided to get as light as possible with my netbook after this glorious Lucid upgrade (I hate to change when I've got it how I want... but it was time for a LTS) and try Lubuntu.
So here's the snag. I have a HP mini 110 1125NR and travel very often, and speed is sometimes of the essence, and because for the netbook I don't need all the eye candy yet and want something fast. I got Lubuntu for it's built-in netbook interface and got the install fine (in safe graphics of course).... and I don't like any build I've seen with the Chromium OS except maybe Hexxah's Flow so I'm sticking to debian
Now, install went great and I'll modify things later, but I cannot seem to get past the BIOS boot, it sits there with a black screen with the cursor (solved with UNE by editing GRUB temporarily).... but nothing I've tried yet has worked, or I did it wrong...
How can you get Compiz to work in Lubuntu. I tryed to change the window manager, but can't. Is there a way?

I tried to remove pcmanfm, install xfdesktop and replace in /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart @pcmanfm on @xfdesktop. It doesn't work.
Thinking of uninstalling GNOME/ubuntu-desktop and installing LXDE/lubuntu-desktop in its place. Just a couple of Qs. Got some hunches, just want to confirm/deny them:
* Does LXDE use GDM for login, or something else?
* Installing lubuntu-desktop would uninstall network-manager. Need to reboot if I do this, I take it?
I recently installed Lubuntu to a USB. It was up and running and worked fine, however, upon exiting and going to boot into windows, I noticed it had installed a GRUB bootloader. I use whole disk encryption on windows, which has its own bootloader, so I can't be having some other bootloader on the PC interfering with this. I used my rescue disk to restore my WDE bootloader, but the USB stick will not boot now.
I also tried using pendrivelinux but this copies the live cd version onto the USB stick and nothing saves when you log off.installing Lubuntu to USB without a boot loader?
I just installed lubuntu on my eee 901, and everything seems to be ok, but my wireless card doesn't seem to be detected?
if I type ifconfig -a, it does not show (in ubuntu it worked like a charm)

I'm trying Lubuntu for my low-resource netbook and I'm lovin' it.
But I can't get my ssh key passphrase work with the keyring manager.
I even created a new user account with a fresh home directory and it doesn't work. You run "ssh myname@mydomain.net" and it prompts you for the key passphrase in the terminal.
Expected behavior: with Gnome, you run "ssh myname@mydomain.net" and the password manager opens a GUI to ask for the passphrase. Once unlocked, it remains unlocked until you log off. Moreover, at that moment of unlocking you can tell it to remember the passphrase forever so it gets automatically unlocked next time you login.
The keyring works fine for the wireless password, and for luks-encrypted volumes, but not for Secure Shell keys.

Isn't Lubuntu FAB! And it's very easy to customise...once you know how.
It took me a while to discover how to auto-start applications, so I thought I'd share this with you.

I have 3 computers running Ubuntu 10.10 (2x regular Ubuntu, 1x Lubuntu) and I need VLC media player 1.0.6 (the version from Lucid). I cannot use the Maverick VLC player, I need an older one.What is the best way to install it? Is there a better option then installing it from source code?

I have a live/persistent installs of Lubuntu 10.04 on a USB-HDD. It's on a 320 GB portable drive. I've partitioned it so that 80 GB is for the Lubuntu live install and the remaining 240 GB is another partition dedicated to storing stuff. So this USB-HDD is doing double duty. The thing is, I was paying so much attention to making the persistent install work without making a mess of the boot loader (I did that in the past; twice!) that I had overlooked the fact my live install does not have a swap sartition on it. I just assumed (incorrectly) that the swap partition on would just be part and parcel of the installation. Can anyone tell me of a way to add a swap partition to each of my live installs? Without losing any data or anything like that. It's probably not doing any harm not having a swap partition, but I'm assuming that my live install would be that much more efficient with it.
