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
