Hi,
So instead of working from a live Ubuntu-mate, I
have a live setup on a thumb drive that I booted to, and I'm going to install to
a 32 GB SD card in the SD card slot, instead of the live image on an SD card
that I now cannot log into.
So I've come across this before, and it is
partially because Orca reads stuff strangely in the partitioning window of the
installer.
I selected the "something else" in the installer
for where to install it, because I don't want to mess up the windows on the
internal drive.
But it keeps moving off the /dev/sdc and going back
to /dev/sda.
I figured out that I need to put a swap partition
in first, and I made that the same as the RAM on this computer.
It was given /dev/sdc1.
Then I created another partition with the
remaining, and selected ext4 journaling system and mountpoint of
slash.
I keep getting the error no file system is
defined.
This is a stupid process, I read lots of on-line
forums where people run into the same problem.
I have installed lots of times where I either
installed along side windows or used the entire internal partition, but this is
weird.
It is scary because I don't want to wipe my
windows.
Normally I'm comfortable doing stuff with
instructions, but maybe I can find someone to talk me through it via
telephone.
Because I don't get this, it should be easier than
all this.
Any takers?
Glenn
