User's questions

I had an existing installation of Lubuntu 18.04 which I wanted to upgrade to 20.04. Lubuntu docs say this requires a fresh install. My previous 18.04 installation was using GPT and EFI. During installation of 20.04 from the live USB I unmounted the previous drive as suggested on this blog post and chose to erase disk so Lubuntu would partition things automatically.

However Lubuntu 20.04 seems to have decided to install as MBR rather than GPT and also no EFI.

No GPT: sudo fdisk -l shows Disklabel type: dos

No EFI /sys/firmware/efi doesn't exist

I'm willing to reinstall but how can I get Lubuntu to install with GPT and EFI? Do I have to manually partition things? Or is there a way to get it to do it automatically?

I am following the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive

It says:

4) Create one partition occupying all the space on the drive:

(parted) mkpart primary 0 0

5) Check that the results are correct:

(parted) print

However when I do this I get:

$sudo parted /dev/sda
GNU Parted 3.2
Using /dev/sda
Welcome to GNU Parted! Type 'help' to view a list of commands.
(parted) mklabel gpt
(parted) unit GB
(parted) mkpart primary 0 0
(parted) print
Model: ATA Some SSD (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 240GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:

Number  Start   End     Size    File system  Name     Flags
 1      0.00GB  0.00GB  0.00GB               primary

The Start and End of 0GB and Size of 0GB is making me think this isn't correct. I would have thought the size should have been 240GB (or close to it). Are these instructions correct? If not, what is the correct way to make a single partition that covers the entire disk?

Using Lubuntu 16.04 LTS. The terminal program is lxterminal. In Ubuntu with gnome-terminal I can specify size and location like:

gnome-terminal --geometry=80x30+100+100

However in Lubuntu running

lxterminal --geometry=80x30+100+100

Does not position the terminal where expected. Furthermore, repeated calls to the above command result in the window being positioned in different places. The lxterminal man page does not actually show position arguments

How do I specify a window position with lxterminal?
