Nitrxgeneh.. I have a problem installing Ubuntu 9.04, anyone willing to help?03:24
shtylmanNitrxgen: what problem?03:52
Nitrxgenpartitioner doesn't load up during install03:53
shtylmanlive cd install?03:54
shtylmanand what do you mean by "doesn't load up"?03:54
Nitrxgenie. installing from disc.. I get to step 1, 2 and 3 (keyboard layout).. click forward, "starting up the partitioner" popup.. and closes.. and nothing happens03:54
shtylmanthe whole app closes?03:55
Nitrxgenjust the popup03:55
Nitrxgenthe setup window remains.. but is disabled03:56
shtylmancan you tell me what this says (tun in terminal): cat /var/log/installer/debug03:56
Nitrxgenexcept the "quit" button03:56
shtylman*run03:56
Nitrxgenwell Im trying for a dualboot on this machine03:56
shtylmanthat should be fine03:56
Nitrxgenyus03:56
Nitrxgenbut, Windows is loaded up.. hence why I'm online03:56
shtylmanahh03:56
NitrxgenI haven't rebooted my machine so many times before in my life03:57
Nitrxgennever had a problem installing an OS before, ha03:57
shtylmanwell..in that case I suggest you try the alternate installer03:57
shtylmanbut I am curious about the output of that command I sent you as well...it may have clues about what happened03:57
shtylmanare you sure you just didn't give it enough time to load?03:58
Nitrxgenis 30 minutes not enough?03:59
Nitrxgenlol03:59
shtylmanhaha ok then03:59
Nitrxgenwell03:59
shtylmancan you not get online in the live cd environment?03:59
NitrxgenI've been trying all day to install it, just this partitioner not loading or whatever04:00
NitrxgenI can't no04:00
shtylmanwhy not?04:00
NitrxgenI need the driver for my pci card04:00
shtylmanahh04:00
shtylmanis the driver in the repositories?04:00
shtylmancan you put the driver on a usb key?04:00
Nitrxgendon't think so04:00
Nitrxgenwell I got some driver files on a partition..04:01
Nitrxgenwhich I read in an article I can use04:01
shtylmanon a partition?04:02
Nitrxgenntfs04:02
shtylmanahh ok...so this is your windows partition04:02
shtylmanwith the driver files04:02
NitrxgenI have partitions made in Windows.. which I can access in the livecd env04:03
shtylmanthat you downloaded04:03
shtylmanand could you install the driver?04:03
shtylmanin the livecd?04:03
Nitrxgenhavnt tried04:03
shtylmanwell that would be one step04:03
Nitrxgenthought I'd try install it first, since the driver installation looks long04:03
shtylmanthe other..is sending us the output of that command04:03
Nitrxgenand the livecd env is only temporary04:03
Nitrxgenlol04:03
shtylmanright04:04
Nitrxgenwell04:04
NitrxgenI'll try it this once.04:04

nitrxok04:10
nitrxwhat was the command again?04:12
shtylmancat /var/log/installer/debug04:13
shtylmanideally you are looking for something at the end of the output that looks like a crash report04:14
nitrxI try that after trying to install right?04:14
shtylmanyep04:15
nitrxstarting up the partitioner..04:16
