Greetings, I have a SL6 laptop that is partitioned like this: Physical partition 1 - /boot - 5GB Physical partition 2 - LVM LVM - / - 40GB (encrypted) LVM - swap - 5GB (encrypted) LVM - /home - 300GB (encrypted) Works great. However, I would like to play videos when I travel and SL6 struggles in this pretty badly. Especially when connecting to strange hotel Display Port / HDMI / ect TV's (usually the display portion works, but getting sound is a pain). What I have been doing is booting Lubuntu 15.04 off of a thumb drive, configuring the TV/sound, mounting the encrypted home, and playing videos. But I would like to just move that to my SSD and leave the thumb drive at home. For testing purposes, I swapped hard drives (that way I don't lose data). I reinstalled SL6 with the following: Physical partition 1 - /boot - 5GB Physical partition 2 - LVM LVM - / - 40GB (encrypted) LVM - swap - 5GB (encrypted) LVM - /home - 20GB (encrypted) Pretty much the exact same. Then I installed Lubuntu 15.04 so the drive now looks like this: Physical partition 1 - /boot - 5GB Physical partition 2 - LVM LVM - / - 40GB (encrypted) LVM - swap - 5GB (encrypted) LVM - /home - 300GB (encrypted) LVM - / - lubuntu 40GB (encrypted) LVM - swap - lubuntu 5GB (encrypted) I set up two swaps because Lubuntu /really/ didn't want to share. Fine. Whatever. Reboot after install and despite it saying it found SL6, Lubuntu is the only boot option. I can't seem to get SL6 to boot again (even breaking in via grub wasn't working). OK. Fine. I will install SL6 again. It doesn't even mention that it found Lubuntu...it just tosses itself right into /boot. On start up, it sees all of the kernels, but thinks they are all SL kernels. I can't boot into Lubuntu any more and if I select any kernel that isn't the SL kernel, it freaks out (I expected as much but I was really curious). OK, so neither OS will play nicely with each other. Let's try SL7. Again, doesn't matter which order I install in, both claim they have to control /boot for encrypted disks and stomp on each other. At least with SL7, it sees and recognizes that Lubuntu is there...it just doesn't care... I am pretty confident that if I removed the encryption piece, both distros would play well with each other. That just isn't an option for me though. I have tried several things with various Virtual Machines (KVM, and VMware) but the pass through never works properly for video/sound to Display Port/HDMI. Has anyone conquered this? Any suggestions? I have done about 5 installs of both OS's today and I am really close to just going back to the USB method of booting Lubuntu even if it is ridiculously slow. Thanks! ~Stack~
