dhillon-v10 | starcraftman: hi how are you | 01:21 |
starcraftman | I go well, been doing some java and watched a movie today :) | 01:22 |
dhillon-v10 | ah I am really good at Java and also I am taking it at school | 01:23 |
dhillon-v10 | hey I need to ask you: what would you look for in a display manager guide | 01:25 |
starcraftman | hmmm, I dunno, if its a graphical guide I usually include some screenshots. At least a few for illustration. | 01:26 |

terry | Is anybody there? | 08:35 |
Madpilot | sort of | 08:37 |
terry | I am trying to install Ubuntu for the first time and when it come to scanning the disk it reports the disk as sda rather than hda? | 08:39 |
Madpilot | sda means it's a SATA device | 08:39 |
Madpilot | for a regular HDD | 08:39 |
Madpilot | usb keys and such are also sd* | 08:40 |
terry | SATA is not the same as an IDE disk is it? | 08:40 |
Madpilot | no - IDE/ATA is the old wide ribbon cables, SATA is the newer standard with narrow cables | 08:40 |
terry | That's not what I have. | 08:41 |
Madpilot | almost all modern HDDs are SATA | 08:41 |
Madpilot | hmm | 08:41 |
terry | This is an older Maxtor 40GB disk. | 08:41 |
Madpilot | now that you mention it, I think Linux is now reporting all drives as sd*, even IDE stuff. don't quote me, though | 08:41 |
terry | The Ubuntu 9.04 installation documentation still indicates that sda refers to the 1st SCSI disk, and hda refers to the 1st IDE disk. | 08:42 |
Madpilot | that might be out of date | 08:43 |
Madpilot | "new "stuff" in Feisty called libata and this makes all IDE drives seen as sda" - from an old Ubuntuforums post I just found, and this jives with what I recall | 08:44 |
terry | I guess I'll assume the install knows what it is doing and proceed with the installation. How do I get the "guided" partitioning so I can put /var, /home, ... on separate partitions? | 08:45 |
Madpilot | probably best to ask in #ubuntu for that | 08:45 |
terry | Abd how do I do that? | 08:46 |
Madpilot | I'm the wrong person to ask, as it's been over a year since I did a from-scratch install of Ubuntu - and that was onto an oddball LVM setup :) | 08:46 |
Madpilot | "/join /#ubuntu" w/o the "" | 08:46 |
Madpilot | sorry, lose the / in front of #ubuntu | 08:46 |
Madpilot | "/join #ubuntu" | 08:46 |
terry | Thanks | 08:48 |
