Hi Ian, Did you [mount and] change directory to the partition of the installed system? In my case it was automatically mounted, when I booted from the Lubuntu install drive. So I did what is illustrated in the attached file. If the installed system's root partition is not mounted, you must mount it, for example sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt and after that change directory and link cd /mnt sudo ln -sf /proc/self/mounts etc/mtab Best regards Nio
