[ubuntu-studio-users] Problems installing Ubuntu Studio 13.04 alongside Xubuntu 12.10
Hi all, I was just wondering if somebody has encountered this problem or know how to solve it. In my computer I have Xubuntu 12.10, and I want to install Ubuntu Studio 13.04 alongside it. I created a USB key with 13.04, and I'm trying to install from it. I launch the installation program, and it recognizes that Xubuntu 12.10 is already installed and it offers to install UbuntuStudio 13.04 alongside it. Great, but when I try to continue, it olny offers me the option to install Ubuntu Studio in /sdb (the USB key), and not in /sda (the hard disk and where Xubuntu is installed). Any tips? I could go for the manual partitioning stuff, but it's quite some time since I manually did an installation like this, so I'm not very sure I'd remember how to do it...

Is there any free partition for Ubuntu Studio to use on sda? Perhaps someone with more experience of the install along choice have a better answer? Myself I always use the manual partitioning to make sure it doesn't land on anything I would like to keep.

Since you have used the manual setup before I think you will manage just fine when you see it again. /Jimmy -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

I also recommend using manual partitioning. The problem with Ubuntu Studio is that the installation is more like the old Debian installation instead of the more user friendly interface that uses Ubuntu in their other flavors. I do not know how you installed Xubuntu. The best for me is to create at least 3 partitions: The system one mounted in / where you will install all the software. (At least 10 GB, but the size depends about how much software do you pretend to install, in my case 20 GB is enough although I use to install a lot of stuff). Your own data: documents, pictures, videos, and in fact all the information of the users of the PC, its passwords, configurations, everything. This one is mounted in /home and the size should be as big as your HDD lets you. Usually we store a lot of things here. SWAP is in order to use virtual memory in the case of the installed RAM is not enough. It is useful when working with media files or in the case of laptops to hibernate properly without losing the session. You are able to create until 4 primary partitions in a HDD. With this scheme you use only 2 (the SWAP won't need to be a primary partition). And you can share the /home and the swap with two or more different distros installed in your HDD. So you need to create at least a partition more for install inside Ubuntu Studio. You can share the /home (be careful of don't format the partition or you could loose your data). Good luck. -- ubuntu-studio-users mailing list ubuntu-studio-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users

OK, so after Cloning the disk in case something goes wrong (CloneZilla is a godsend), I manually resized the old partition for Xubuntu, created a new one for UStudio and told the installer to use that one. Installing right now. Hopefully all will be OK.

Hello ! I also use manual partitioning, although Gparted helps me a lot into it. I use Gparted (or any PartedMagic or the likes of them, as conveniently works with the computer I work on) as a live-CD and before any installation, so I have been able to create 6 or 7 partitions, in order to install different OS's : Windows (alas), Ubuntustudio, KXstudio, Fedora, Tangostudio etc. (for fun and testing). When the partition is already there, any install offers the choice. You only have to be careful about the numbering of these partitions, as it is not always the same on Gparted and on the install USB keys or DVD's. One easy solution is to create partitions with slightly different sizes, so you always know which is which : E.G. 21 GO, 22 GO, 23 GO etc., and keep one big FAT32 partition (for instance) for data, that any system can access easily, if you want to be able to use all of your data on any system. I also use GAG as a specific launcher as it can display a specific message on starting, but it seems to be an old solution and surely you can find better these days.
