Friends--
Over the past week I have tried to install three different OSes to a couple of my old 32 bit machines: lubuntu, peppermintos, and xubuntu.
Both machines have prior ubuntu versions on them, in a luks/lvm environment.
I have used DVD disks (created via brasero) as well as thumb drives (created via startup disk creator). Only got one of them to actually boot up the lubuntu installer, and it said it could not mount the DVD (although I was installing via the usb drive). I even tried the usb stick on a 64 bit machine and got the same errors--this machine also has lvm/luks.
It seems that perhaps the luks environment is giving all of these installers difficulties.
So, do I have to completely wipe the disks to be able to install, or even to use a live disk? (I was hoping to preserve the luks setup and simply install the new os inside luks.)
Thanks!
