shamwowblues, I can not install via pkg because I do not have internet connectivity... i have downloaded the wicd-1.7.0.tar.gz file and copied it to my home folder... from here i extracted it to the wicd-1.7.0 folder00:27
BluesKaj-Laptopok, then we open a terminal00:28
BluesKaj-Laptopshamwow, copy the name of the file from properties , and make it executable at the same time00:31
BluesKaj-Laptopwicd that is00:31
BluesKaj-Laptop,shamwow, does the name of the file look like this, wicd-1.7.0.tar.bz2 /00:34
BluesKaj-Laptopshamwow , we need to know exactly where the wicd file is located so we can extract and install it .00:41

Typos_Kingtutorial for a broadcomm card?  hehe00:44
Typos_Kinghuston:   are you trying to make one? is that it :P00:45
hustonnope have one in this laptop00:45
Typos_Kingand you need blueprints of circuitry00:45
BluesKaj-Laptopmost broadcoms are supported huston00:45
Typos_Kingsoooooo00:45
hustonand I can't get it to vunction00:45
hustonfunction00:45
Typos_Kinghuston:   what.... kubuntu version are you using?00:45
huston9.1000:45
Typos_King...   gimme one sec00:45
hustonalright00:46
hustonI have the b43-fwcutter installed00:47
hustonI am getting tired of have a usb wireless device sticking out of the side of my laptop00:47
Typos_Kingheh00:48
hustonI found the page on the b43, and the b43 legacy00:49
hustonand I must be missing something00:49
hustonsomething simple probably00:50
Typos_King...   gimme one sec00:51
hustonokay00:51
orprasCan anyone tell me how to get ubuntuone to connect in kubuntu?00:53
orprasIt installs and I can see the icon but it doesn't connect, I have found no solution using google.00:54
Typos_Kinghuston:   http://imsky.org/t/10660543024.html00:55
Jaimieanyone know a good config to run rde4 on a slower machine a little more smoothly?00:55
Typos_Kingsorry it took me a bit heheh00:55
Typos_KingJaimie:     .... how slow of a cpu?00:56
|sysop|I am running it pretty well on a ppc 1.2ghz00:56
hustonthanks00:56
hustonI am going to go give it a try00:57
|sysop|just turn off all desktop effects00:57
|sysop|thats the way I would run it on my eee pc00:57
Typos_Kinghuston:   9.1 comes with the driver, the firmware however is excluded from it due to license issues, thus, all that does is add it00:57
hustonokay00:58
orprasFixed it, had to install gnome keyring00:59
Jaimie800mhz00:59
Typos_Kingthe wha?00:59
Jaimieeeepc 901a00:59
Typos_KingJaime    ....   well, turn off all effects.... or run another lighter window manager01:00
Typos_Kingsomething like openbox or fluxbox01:00
|sysop|kde4 with all the effects runs ok on a eee01:01
Typos_Kingon a pIII?01:01
|sysop|although it wouldnt hurt to overlock your eee.01:01
Jaimiei had it @ 90001:02
Jaimiedidnt see the difference01:02
|sysop|but I had 1 gig of ram.01:02
Jaimiei also have 1G01:02
Typos_King.... and how much in the videocard?   16mbs?01:02
Zeelot3kdoes anyone know of a file browser that lets me double click to expand a folder instead of moving into it? any file browser with that option would be great01:02
|sysop|is it slow for you? admititedly I ram 9.04 on it. I havent run a recent release on it.01:02
Jaimiejust feels a little sliggy when i compare it to gnome or xfce01:02
Jaimiesluggy*01:02
Typos_KingZeelot3k:    konqueror can do that, in 'tree' mode01:03
|sysop|I will upgrade my eee and check it out next time I am off. I need to reload my other laptop anyway.01:03
Zeelot3kTypos_King: it still moves in when I double click though01:03
Typos_KingJaime    kde wm, has I think more effects than gnome or xfce.... use a lighter manager, I do :)01:03
hustongoing to go try it out01:04
Typos_KingZeelot3k:   moves?  where?   to the right expanded?01:04
hustonI followed the page01:04
Typos_Kingk01:04
hustonlets see what happens01:04
hustonthanks again01:04
hustontime to restart01:04
Typos_Kingheheh01:04
hustonI will let you know01:04
Zeelot3kTypos_King: it goes into the dir instead of expanding it01:04
|sysop|Jaimie, try 9.04 on it. its old but generally works ok.01:04
Typos_Kinghuston     this isn't twitter you know :P01:04
Jaimiei'll look into it sysop01:04
hustonalright01:05
Typos_KingZeelot3k:     it doesn't in the 'tree' mode01:05
pulaskiHi, I'm running karmic koala and I'm following instructions to set up various multimedia functions.  To do so I have to enable the Multiverse and Universe repositories. I've found instructions to do so for Hardy.  May I simply substitue the name karmic for hardy in the lines I need to add to sources.list?01:05
Zeelot3kTypos_King: how do you set it to tree mode? I see no such thing01:05
Typos_Kingzeelot:    konqueror has about..... 3 different view modes01:05
Zeelot3kyes none of them are called tree01:05
Zeelot3kI am in details mode01:05
Zeelot3kwhich shows the + sign01:05
Typos_KingZeelot3k:     Settings > load view profile > file management01:06
Typos_Kingright... the click the + to expand, without going in it01:07
Zeelot3kthat's my question lol, I want a file manager or an option to make the double click act like the + click01:07
Typos_King...01:08
pulaskinever mind,01:09
Zeelot3kthunar kinda does it01:09
Zeelot3knot very well01:09
hustonis there another step?01:09
Typos_KingZeelot3k:    I use/prefer Krusader....   it has a 'tree' pane and another pane for the files in the folder selected in the tree pane, it allows single-click on any folder with click to expand, and double-click to show its files on the 'files' pane01:09
Typos_Kingnot sure if that helps01:10
Zeelot3kyea that's also decent01:10
Zeelot3kI would like the files listed in the tree pane though =(01:10
Typos_Kinghuston:    no..... whatever happened?01:10
hustonnothing01:10
Zeelot3kI don't want 2 panes =(01:10
Typos_Kinghuston:  and how do you know is broadcomm?    have you checked in 'lspci'?01:10
hustonit created a folder in the directory01:10
Typos_Kingheh01:10
hustonand that is it01:10
hustonyep01:10
hustonI did the lspci01:11
Typos_Kingand its broadcomm?01:11
huston431801:11
hustonyep01:11
hustonsays it is supported01:11
Typos_Kingright01:11
lynxgeeknychello people01:11
Typos_Kingcan you paste a dump of lspci?01:11
hustonsure01:11
lynxgeeknycdoes anyone know a good prog for linux where I can install another Linux like a virtual machine?01:11
hustonI will paste the part for the broadcom01:11
|sysop|qemu?01:12
lynxgeeknycgemu?01:12
Typos_Kingvbox?01:12
Typos_KingI'd think virtualbox will do01:13
hustonyou want it private or here01:13
BluesKaj-Laptopshamwow , di you try to follow the instructions in mthe "install" text file located in the wicd folder ?01:13
Ginglymostomawhere is kde's disk-space-usage-viewer?01:13
Typos_Kinghuston:    hehhe, on a pastebin, like pastebin.com01:13

|sysop|?01:15
hustonall I get is my usb device01:15
hustonI know it works01:16
BluesKaj-LaptopGinglymostoma, sudo fdisk -l01:17
hustonI have three wireless cards and they are all broadcoms01:17
Typos_Kinghuston   how do you know it isn't working, the drivers aren't loading?01:17
Zeelot3kTypos_King: neither side seems to have + signs next to directories in Krusader...01:17
Zeelot3khow did you set that?01:18
hustonwell the other os that this had it worked with it01:18
hustonI can replace it though01:18
hustonlet me go look through my stack of cards01:19

Zeelot3koh I see!01:22
Zeelot3kok thanks!01:22
Typos_KingZeelot3k:     well... that's the tree pane, is where I set it on the layout01:22
hustonit is an internal card01:34
hustonno but I will try jockey01:34
hustonI have a lot of extra parts for laptops and such01:34

shamwowbluesKaj-Laptop are you still there?02:14
BluesKaj-Laptopyes02:14
shamwowthe last thing we were talking about was the name of the file02:14
BluesKaj-Laptopshamwow, wondered what happened02:14
shamwowyeah I have 2 laptops, I have Kubuntu on one and Vista on the other... I had to reboot vista and get it back up and working to continue to chat on here02:15
shamwowthe name of my file is wicd-1.7.0.tar.gz02:15
BluesKaj-Laptopshamwow, did you read the "install" text file in the wicd folder?02:15
shamwowaffirm02:15
shamwowi thought I did everything as it said02:16
shamwowi don't know how to use the pkg software02:16
shamwowso I skiped that and then worked with the python cmds02:16
shamwowi did everything it said and thought I installed it correctly... when I did the wicd-client cmd i had no success02:18
BluesKaj-Laptopthe pkg software isn' t necessary right now ...we need to go thru the install procedure as listed in the install text file02:18
shamwowdo you have a copy of that text file so that we can walk through it together?02:19
shamwowor I can follow inst pretty well so let me know what to do.. currently i have the file extracted to  >Home>wicd-1.7.002:21
BluesKaj-Laptopyes, open the terminal and , cd wicd-1.7.002:22
shamwowchk02:22
shamwowok there now02:22
BluesKaj-Laptopok, sudo python setup.py configure02:24
shamwowdone02:25
BluesKaj-Laptopok, sudo python setup.py install02:25
shamwowdone02:26
BluesKaj-Laptopnow alt f2 , wicd-client ...it should open02:30
shamwownothing02:30
shamwowyeah i think that is where I am stuck02:36
shamwowwas i suppose to run it with sudo or kdesu before wicd-client???02:36
BluesKaj-Laptopshamwow, when you entered the commands into terminal was there any output , or did the prompt just pop back ?02:37
shamwowprompt just disappeared02:37
shamwowsorry...02:38
shamwowwhen i typed the commands in the terminal there was a lot of output02:38
shamwowsame as before02:38
BluesKaj-Laptopok, you might need to reboot for the init script to take hold02:39
shamwowstby02:39
shamwowok restarted02:40
RedXIII_While installing kubuntu I'm getting a lot of "preparing to completel remove" messages from the "installing system" prompt.02:40
RedXIII_Is this normal?02:41
shamwowi did alt f2 and typed wicd-client and nothing happened except the prompt disappeared02:41
BluesKaj-Laptopok open the terminal , sudo wicd-client02:42
shamwowok i got the following:02:42
shamwowTraceback (most recent call last): File "usr/share/wicd/gtk/wicd-client.py", line 40, in <module> import gtk02:43
shamwowImportErro: No module named gtk02:43
shamwowany idea what that means02:49
BluesKaj-Laptopare you still at the wicd prompt ?02:50
BluesKaj-Laptopshamwow,   this command might clear it up,  ./wicd-client.py02:52
RedXIII_I think its deleting all the packages it installed02:54
RedXIII_or is it just displaying the wrong message..02:54
shamwowjus02:55
BluesKaj-LaptopRedXIII_, yes it installs tempm files to facilitate installation then removes them when they are replaced with the default files02:56
RedXIII_Oh I see. I was getting a little worried.02:57
shamwowblues where do i type that at? i am in the original install directory02:57
RedXIII_thanks ;)02:57
BluesKaj-Laptopshamwow, are you in the terminal at the wicd prompt like before ?02:58
shamwowsame one we installed from02:58
BluesKaj-Laptopok  run  ./wicd-client.py02:59
shamwow./eivf-vlirny.py: no duvh gilr ot fitrvyoty03:00
shamwowsorry03:00
shamwow./wicd-client.py: no such file or directory03:00
BluesKaj-Laptopok try  wicd-client.py03:01
shamwowwicd-client.py: command not found03:02
BluesKaj-Laptopis there a way to connect the pc with a  cable to the internet ? ..we'd have more luck installing from the repositories ..we can update your install first and then install wicd with apt03:04
BluesKaj-Laptop!apt03:04
ubottuAPT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE)03:04
RedXIII_Jeez its taking a long time to uninstall these packages03:05
BluesKaj-Laptopshamwow, seems you are missing some needed libs and perhaps dependencies03:05
RedXIII_been sitting at 99% for over 20 minutes.03:05
shamwowok let me see if I can connect hardline03:06
RedXIII_seems to have finished :D03:06
BluesKaj-LaptopRedXIII_, yes it depends alot on your hardware and which version03:07
RedXIII_I shouldn't complain. I'm surprised this old ATA drive still even works03:07
BluesKaj-Laptopshamwow, good , it would be much easier03:07
RedXIII_I was even more surprised when my mobo had a connector for it.03:08
RedXIII_anddd install complete :D03:08
shamwowi connected via hardwire, it said active connection but no luck... i think I am going to hang it up for the night and pick it up tomorrow03:10
shamwowthanks for the update, talk again tomorrow03:10
BluesKaj-LaptopRedXIII, ok successful ?03:13
RedXIIILife makes a lot more sense now.. irc.kubuntu.org is a part of freenode isn't it...03:14
RedXIIIWhere's the setting to bind my windows key to the K thingy in kubuntu?03:48
|sysop|is anyone here familar with screen recycler?04:42
|sysop|on snow leopard04:42
|sysop|how can I set that up with kde4?04:42
edgarhola todos05:37
edgarcomo estan05:37
DementualSo, uh... sorry if this is a dumb question, but are the KDE 4.4.1 files in the backports not too safe to install?05:48
islingtonDementual: as someone who is using those files (I updated using backparts to 4.4) I would say no05:50
DementualAhh... 'cause my Plasma stuff keeps crashing.05:50
DementualThough, what I can see is quite pretty.05:51
DementualNow if only I could see more of it.05:51
islingtonDementual: what kde vesrion are you using?05:51
Dementual9.1005:51
DementualFresh install05:51
netdaemonyes i found the experience rather incomplete05:52
islingtonYou probably want/should upgrade to 4.4 since its a lot better than 4.305:52
DementualWent to update to KDE 4.4.105:52
netdaemoni'm waiting for lucid personally05:53
netdaemon10.0405:53
DementualSo there's no way to get fully updated to 4.4.1 in 9.10?05:55
netdaemoni believe there's instructions on kubuntu's main page05:56
netdaemonor news rather: http://www.kubuntu.org/node/13505:56
DementualYus05:56
DementualThat's what I followed to get to this point.05:56
islingtonDementual: short version enable backports do a "sudo aptitude update"05:59
islingtonand a "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade"05:59
* netdaemon checks for updates on his kubuntu machines05:59
netdaemoni'v got backports enabled for the 4.3.x series...05:59
islingtonnetdaemon: lol me too05:59
netdaemonthings just didn't feel quite right when i went to 4.4.x, probably because some package name changes that didn't carry over from the updates so i figured i'd stick with 4.3 for now06:00
DementualHow would I go about fixing my stuff?06:00
DementualAnd possibly going back without reinstalling (again)?06:01
islingtondelete your .kde folder to fix stuff06:01
islingtondowngrading will be much harder afaik06:01
netdaemonyes, downgrading not advisable06:01
DementualHrm...06:02
DementualWould I be able to enable backports without it automatically downloading the latest stuff?06:02
netdaemonis 10.04 getting any spiffy new artwork?06:03
netdaemoni mean obviously not the desktop, but say the login manager and bootsplash?06:03
DementualLooked the same to me.06:03
DementualAssuming that ever got updated :v06:03
islingtonDementual: no you would have to run an update command06:04
islingtondo me a favor and do alt+f2 and type in knapshot06:04
DementualAlright.06:05
islingtonin ksnapshot there is a help button menu06:05
islingtonhit about KDE06:05
islingtonwhat do you see?06:05
Dementualhttp://img191.imageshack.us/img191/9452/snapshot1ig.png06:06
islingtonk looks like your plasma bugs are probably due to 4.3 settings still being present, go to /home/[user]/06:07
islingtonand delete your .kde folder log out then log back in06:07
* Dementual nods06:07
islingtonto see the .kde folder you might have to hit alt+. in dolphin06:08
DementualGot it.06:09
DementualOne sec.06:09
netdaemona rm -rf .kde from Konsole would work too06:09
islingtonnetdaemon: I think 10.04 may get a new logo with the new font being designed and all06:11
netdaemonneat06:11
netdaemoni was hoping kubuntu wouldn't get the short end of the stick again :)06:11
netdaemonso other than that, will it still have the snowflake?06:11
islingtonother than that I dunno; gnome themes are pretty different from kde ones these days, would make much sense to make kde look like gnome06:12
islington*woulnn't06:12
netdaemonno i would expect not06:12
netdaemoni don't expect them to ever touch the default kde theming except moving some icons around, it's pretty out of the box for the most part06:13
netdaemongnome on the other hand isn't06:13
netdaemoni was just wondering about the things they do normally theme06:13
DementualEh, no.06:13
islingtonsuse got a customized air theme last release06:14
islingtonDementual: whats up?06:14
DementualDeleting .kde didn't help06:14
islingtonk can you describe the problem?06:14
Dementual Well06:14
DementualIt seems to crash "Plasma Workspace" every startup06:14
islingtoneven the default one??06:15
islingtondefault setup I mean06:15
Dementualhuh?06:15
Dementuallike 9.10 fresh install?06:15
netdaemonhm06:16
Dementualfresh install is fine06:16
Dementualjust whenever I enable the backports it tries to update to kde 4.4.106:16
Dementualwhich would be cool if it worked, heh06:16
islingtonI would assume so since .kde deletion did not work.  k open a Konsole06:16
DementualUpdate thing says I've got 32 blocked updates06:16
Dementualk06:16
netdaemonwhy are you enabling backports if not to upgrade to 4.4.1?06:16
netdaemonoh06:16
islingtonhe has upped to 4.406:17
netdaemonyou'll need to dist-upgrade rather than regular upgrade to get those blocked ones06:17
islingtonyeah that would be it06:17
DementualOh?06:17
netdaemonaptitude full-upgrade06:17
islingtonsudo06:17
netdaemonsudo aptitude full-upgrade rather06:17
* Dementual does that06:17
DementualJust press y on everything that pops up?06:18
islingtonyes06:18
* netdaemon may poke around kde 4.4.1 on his media box :)06:18
netdaemoni think i will actually06:19
Dementualcareful06:19
islingtonnetdaemon: whatever happened to plasma-mediaplayer?06:19
Dementuali hear it throws out plasma crashes :v06:19
netdaemoni don't have a clue tbh06:19
netdaemonand now we play the waiting game06:21
islingtonnetdaemon: http://alediaferia.wordpress.com/2009/08/08/mediacenter-again/06:22
DementualReboot after full-upgrade?06:23
netdaemonlog out and back in06:23
netdaemoninstall processes on atom machines take a bit longer :(06:26
DementualOhey06:26
Dementual<306:26
islingtonyay06:26
netdaemoni guess that worked?06:26
netdaemonawesome beans06:26
DementualWorked well indeed.06:26
DementualAlso, very very pretty.06:26
netdaemonkde's good for pretty06:27
netdaemon:D06:27
islingtonalso I <3 dolphin06:27
netdaemonthough the stability bit was only recentish06:27
netdaemonyes dolphin puts nautilus to shame06:27
netdaemoneven OSX finder06:27
islingtonI found out that a svned folder in dolphin can be updated though gui?! I was like wow06:28
DementualThat's for sure06:28
netdaemonnautilus and finder are practically the same though...as far as interface06:28

plattdeutscherI just did another "sudo Xorg -configure" and copied the generated file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I still get in /var/log/Xorg.0.log: No valid initial configuration found15:10
arch0njwFrom what I find based on that device code that is maybe an FX5200 or a Quadro NVS 295 -- either way, I think those use the older nVidia drivers.  You might want to fall back to the VESA driver and see if you can get that working to start with.15:10

[-Haza-]Hey folks. Im getting this error message when itry do load up open office. "Configuration file "/home/hazamonzo/.kde/share/config/OpenOffice.orgrc" not writable"... Im really worried as i had this sort of erro this morning and when i went to restart the system would not boot. This is not just open odffice though. all my apps are throwing this sort of error.. Any thoughts??17:22
[-Haza-]For example.. if i hit print-screnn (opening ksnapshot) i get the error: "Configuration file "/home/hazamonzo/.kde/share/config/ksnapshotrc" not writable."17:23
[-Haza-]I thinking there is something wrong with permissions but i haven't chabged anything17:24
[-Haza-]*changed17:24
Pici[-Haza-]: It sounds like the ownership on those files may be incorrect.  If you open a terminal and use    ls -l /home/hazamonzo/.kde/share/config/ksnapshotrc    does it list your username in the user and group fields?17:24
[-Haza-]Makes me think one of the hard drives in my striped array is causing probllems.17:24
[-Haza-]Pici: Hey there. Let me check17:25
[-Haza-]Pici: It does list my name in owner AND group17:25
Pici[-Haza-]: hrm.17:25
[-Haza-]-rw------- 1 hazamonzo hazamonzo17:25
Pici[-Haza-]: does the output of 'mount' say that the drive that your /home is mounted on is readonly 'ro' or rw?17:26
[-Haza-]Pici: Im afraid i cannot see the home directory listed in the output of mount... problem is that my computer is locking up as we speak!17:28
[-Haza-]i can't pastebin the output. And chance i can PM you the 10 lines that mount outputs?17:28
PiciSure, goa head17:28
[-Haza-]Save me spamming the channel17:28
[-Haza-]Pici: Cheers17:28

FloodBotK1[-Haza-]: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.17:33
[-Haza-]Something terrible is happening17:33
Pici[-Haza-]: Oh. wait. I see.  It looks like your raid probably had errors and the options say errors=remount-ro17:33
[-Haza-]Pici: It does indeed. What do you suggest?17:34
[-Haza-]Im kinda worried in going to lose data here :(17:34
Pici[-Haza-]: I'd take this time to backup your data knowing that your permissions are still intact and then deal with the raid issue.17:35
[-Haza-]Right. once ive backed up the system can you maybe point me in the right directionto debug this issue?17:35
PiciI'd tar ther data to an external device17:35
Pici[-Haza-]: I don't have a lot of experience working with RAID unforunately.17:36
Pici[-Haza-]: You may want to ask in #ubuntu, as there are a lot more people there and its not really Kubuntu specific at this point.17:36

ToraToraToraFrankly I feel using linux is asking for trouble. if you can't handle the heat, then just keep on using windows.20:30
arch0njwI wouldn't say it's a piece of cake, but it's not that bad.  It all depends on what you want to do.20:31

arch0njwCan you find the drive until 'buntu?20:34

arch0njwOkay.  That's excellent.20:37
arch0njwtype this in the konsole:  ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid20:37
arch0njwyou can then find the UUID of /dev/sda1.  you can then confirm that UUID is being used in grub.20:38
RedXIIIalso do bear with me, I'm kind of a penguin noob20:38
arch0njwI'm only a noob+1...20:38
RedXIIIlrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2010-03-07 19:36 4AD8E697D8E68115 -> ../../sda120:38
RedXIIII assume that's it20:38
RedXIIIso how do I check if that's correct in grub2?20:39
arch0njwgrub2?  Hmm... I'll tell you how it works in grub and hopefully it is very similar.  You can get the menu list by typing "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst".  then look through that to find the Win2008 entry and make sure the UUID is correct.20:39
RedXIIIIt changed ;(20:40
RedXIIIEveryone else said the same thing20:40
RedXIIIhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub220:40
arch0njwhttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275  That might help.  I'm reading that right now too.20:40
RedXIIIit uses grub.cfg20:41
jchavezhi20:41
arch0njwRedXIII: there is an "update_grub2" command you might want to try running.  Otherwise, there is a point 6 in that forum post that explains how to manually add an entry.20:42
RedXIIII ran that twice20:42
RedXIIIits sudo upgrade-grub220:42
RedXIIIs/upgrade/update20:42
RedXIIIsudo update-grub && sudo update-grub220:42
arch0njwnutz.  It looks like you can take a look at the grub.cfg (though not edit it) and confirm that the UUID is correct.  I have to admit that UUID doesn't look like any I have seen before.20:43
RedXIIIhttp://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/bootinfoscript/index.php?title=Boot_Problems:search <- looks like this is the solution20:44

AbcdqfrKubuntu 9.1022:50
cleckeok , there have been issues with redhat...22:51
AbcdqfrThen brings up grub rescue22:51
cleckehow did it happend£?22:51
AbcdqfrIts trying to read a file I created to work with windows bootloader22:51
cleckeyou installed windows partitiion?22:52
Abcdqfr2 drives22:52
cleckesometimes windows wipes out grub22:52
AbcdqfrNot using grub22:53
cleckehow do you load ubuntu vs windows?22:53
AbcdqfrWhen I disable the xp drive, grub is still OK22:53
cleckeyou had an ubuntuinstallation? and you added windows?22:54
AbcdqfrI use windows bootloader. Currently i have to disable the windows drive to boot kubuntu22:54
AbcdqfrNo, windows first. Shoukdnt matter with 2 drives22:55
cleckeyou opened your boot.ini file allready22:55
AbcdqfrI made sure grub installed on the linux drive. Yes22:55
wizkoderAbcdqfr: The bootblock on the master drive is what you need to install grub in22:55
cleckeyou can also use your bootloader of windows22:55
cleckepaste it inhere22:56
Abcdqfrwizkoder: That woukd wipe out the windows boot loader and replace it with grub. Dont want that.22:56
AbcdqfrCant reakly do that22:57
cleckeso you must correct your boot.ini file22:57
cleckethe problem must be in that file22:57
AbcdqfrI think boot.ini is fine22:57
wizkoderAbcdqfr: what a bootloader is that? acronis?22:57
cleckestandard windows ;)22:57
AbcdqfrI think its the file i made in linux22:57
Abcdqfrwizkoder: Boot.ini?22:58
wizkoderclecke: enlight my. Is windows nowadays able to boot other systems than windows?22:58
cleckeyep22:58
AbcdqfrYeah22:58
cleckeyou just have to define your partition22:58
cleckeand it will boot ;)22:58
AbcdqfrSometimes it may require assistance22:58
cleckemaybe this will make you chance os ;)22:59
AbcdqfrFrom other files22:59
wizkoderCan't believe that. So maybe windows finds other systems?22:59
cleckeif you define to boot of it yes22:59
AbcdqfrIt would find other microsoft OS's22:59
wizkoderI bet linux cannot change the windows bootloader22:59
AbcdqfrNot foreign OS's22:59
nightrid3rwindows will NOT recognise nor boot other OS22:59
wizkoderSo you are stuck with windows :-))))22:59
AbcdqfrNot so23:00
wizkodermaybe make the linux disk the master?23:00
AbcdqfrI just need to configure the right input and output in linux while making the booting file23:00
cleckeit wont recognise the filesystem but will boot of it23:01
Beaverwww.search2.net (new search engine)23:01
