[00:00] A grub prompt comes up after the failure, yes. I don't know what recovery mode is though, strictly speaking. [00:00] (besides a, uh, mode for recovery.) [00:01] Twisol: there should be a menu that appears (where you can select different operating systems) might need to hit escape to get it [00:02] James147: In grub2 it's shift key [00:02] I've never had to hit ESC to get to that menu, it's always been the first thing to come up [00:02] fairly sure this is grub 1 [00:04] ... [00:04] Twisol: the wubi installs, install to a win32 directory usually, right? [00:04] This is how I usually boot up into Wubi. I previously installed another Ubuntu setup, so I have one GRUB to go through first. I select Windows there. Then I have a selection of Windows and Kubuntu, and I choose Kubuntu. After I select that, normally it goes into the final GRUB-based bootloader, but now it errors out and sends me into a sh:grub> prompt [00:04] Typos, that's my understanding of it, yes [00:04] yeah... [00:05] I tried running chkdsk. No change. [00:05] tricky thing is, wubi doesn't really load grub, it just adds itself to win32 ntldr [00:05] Yes, which then lets you load into it, right [00:05] right [00:05] I installed a real Ubuntu partition before, though, so I have a real GRUB first [00:05] then the Windows bootloader [00:06] so... your error is, the ntldr line I assume? [00:06] then what's apparently a grub4dos bootloader [00:06] no, I get to the ntldr bootloader fine [00:06] it's when I select the Kubuntu option, GRUB errors out and throws me into a sh:grub> prompt [00:06] so... you do get to a grub menu after that?.. I see [00:06] the errors are apprently a bunch of "invalid command" things, but I can't tell much more because thye're only on there for a flicker [00:06] at least you get a prompt :P [00:06] Yeah. [00:06] well [00:06] Normally I get a the OS-list [00:07] Now it errors and gives me a prompt [00:07] is not a great idea... but do a 'fsck' on it [00:07] *get the [00:07] at the prompt [00:07] Will that format it? or is that fdisk? [00:07] fsck? FileSystemChecK, more or less close to a chkdsk [00:08] Ahh. [00:08] Ok. [00:08] error: unknown command 'fsck'. This is a GRUB prompt, not an Ubuntu prompt [00:08] >_> [00:09] .. [00:09] ok [00:09] * Typos_King thinks [00:11] .. [00:11] what does it say when you type in -> find stage2 [00:11] unknown command 'find' [00:12] if I hit TAB it gives me a list of valid commands [00:12] should I write them down here? [00:12] nah [00:12] I know those [00:13] I spotted a parser.rescue command, but I don't know what it does [00:13] and a parser.sh command [00:13] since my prompt is sh:grub>, I assume it's running parser.sh now? [00:13] no [00:14] because when I ran parser.rescue it changed to rescue:grub> [00:14] remind me.. whats the name os some kubuntu scanning software? [00:15] xene or soemthing? [00:15] Hazamonzo: To scan what? [00:15] genii: Oh sorry. Images from my scanner [00:15] aquireimages [00:16] genii: Is that the one you recommend? The last one i used worked pretty well but it wasn't called that [00:16] it was by default a command line tool [00:16] Hazamonzo: there's Kooka [00:16] but there was also a gui you could download [00:16] Hazamonzo: scanimage is the cli tool [00:17] and I think digiKam may also do it [00:17] (sane, xsane, etc) [00:17] I see [00:17] aaaah, sane! thats the one [00:17] so i install sane and then i havethe choice above for client tools? [00:19] Hazamonzo: sane is the backend part. To scan from commandline you need sane-utils which gives you scanimage [00:20] genii: Okay [00:20] Typos_King: kooka is not available any more [00:21] ... ack [00:21] well [00:21] Twisol: still there? [00:25] Typos_King: Yes, sorry. Working from an example on a forum [00:27] heh [00:27] are you still at the grub prompt? [00:27] Yes [00:27] I was following this post [00:27] http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8289630&postcount=8 [00:28] Everything worked up until I entered "boot". When I hit "boot", the system shuts down and restarts from the beginning, and I still have the same issue [00:28] ... [00:28] hehe, I had about the same lines :) [00:29] XD [00:29] sigh [00:31] i have a slightly different lines though [00:31] sorta [00:31] Ahah [00:31] I backed up one kernel version [00:31] those lines there are relying on the fact you are using kernel 2.6.31.14 [00:31] It's booting [00:31] Yes, I replaced it with my numbers [00:31] Ohhhhhh [00:31] ohh... cool [00:31] I know what happened. [00:32] I installed updates. [00:32] It needed to restart, but I hadn't gotten around to it. [00:32] Then when it shut off like that, it got, uh, inconsistent [00:32] Awesome. [00:32] hii does anyone knows how to specify stereo output device in amarok2? [00:36] guys is there any weather program for Kubuntu [00:36] may plasmoids [00:36] may? [00:36] what about july ones? =P [00:36] sorry many [00:36] xenaxon__: there,check for weather plasmoids [00:36] Hey there. [00:37] I installed Kubuntu and upgraded it, but after I restarted it for the first time.. It crashes when it get into the OS [00:37] why? [00:38] Like, after I enter the username and password, it freezes always [00:40] is there google earth for kubuntu [00:40] ? [00:40] ... [00:40] Mark^: don't log in - hit ctrl+alt+f2 and login and the X log with cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log and see why [00:41] xenaxon__: Yes [00:41] *read the X log [00:41] xenaxon__: I see a googleearth-package in the repos [00:41] package? [00:41] 1sec [00:41] okay just a sec.. [00:42] 1,2,3.7,12, 17 [00:42] I waited more than 1 sec :P [00:42] xenaxon__: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth#Alternative%20%20Installation [00:43] I love kubuntu [00:43] I'm never going back to windows [00:43] :D [00:44] xenaxon__: Yay! [00:46] how can I set a shortcut for the terminal? [00:46] isn't there one already? [00:46] in the menus to Konsole [00:47] you can pretty much grab any of the kde menu items and drag/drop them on the desktop [00:47] xenaxon__: run kmenuedit -> find the program you want -> Advanced tab [00:47] xenaxon__: thats a keyboard shotcut :p [00:48] :D [00:48] does kubuntu support multiple monitors? [00:48] yes [00:48] xenaxon__: other wise right clicking or draging it works [00:54] hello everyone [00:55] allo [00:55] Typos_King: i am using kubuntu 9.10 with kde 4.1.1. apt-get hangs saying "waiting for headers" at 9%. can you help me [00:55] new install? [00:55] Typos_King: sorry thats 99& [00:56] Typos_King: you mean kubuntu? [00:56] yes [00:56] Typos_King: no , i have been using it far the past 5 months [00:58] Typos_King: i got some new errors. i will paste it here [00:58] Typos_King: W: Failed to fetch http://nightlies.videolan.org/build/intrepid-i386/arch/./Packages.gz 404 Not Found [00:58] Typos_King: E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [00:59] ... so [00:59] Typos_King: the above was one of the error messages [01:04] hmm. im not 100% that my graphics are working correctly. For example if i goto "configure window behaviour" im informed that "Compositing is temporarily disabled" If i clock the "resume compositing" my screen goes white and all i can see is my mouse pointer.. [01:04] doesn't sound like much of a biggie [01:04] I've installed google earth but it's not showing in the applications [01:04] Im using Karmic and a geforce.... 8800 [01:04] What will i do without wobbly windows??! [01:04] :D [01:05] hehh [01:05] Any thoughts guys to what i can do to debug this issue? Nothing too complex though [01:06] Im pretty sure it worked out of the box last time i installed 9.10 [01:06] phoenix_: does -> sudo apt-get -f install; do anything? [01:06] I'd think it may not do anything :| [01:06] Typos_King: i will try that now [01:07] xenaxon__: I don't run google earth...... not sure what the executable will be [01:07] has anyone gotten iphone to work like in ubuntu? [01:07] Typos_King: hey [01:08] Hazamonzo: the X log will say why dri isn't set up [01:08] phoenix_: yes? :) [01:08] gottto: i see.

[01:12] Hazamonzo: something about dri or aiglx being disabled [01:12] gottto: Right [01:14] gottto: notjing on aiglx but there are some information messages about dri will be loaded by default [01:14] mentions nothing about it being disabled though [01:15] Hazamonzo: it normally shows up middle of the log or lower - what driver is being used? [01:16] Information Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions//libdri.so [01:17] gottto: http://imagebin.ca/view/bYFyl91I.html [01:17] Hazamonzo: can you paste the whole log pls?

I enabled the proprietary driver [01:25] Hazamonzo: you need some options in your xorg.conf file - I don't know nvidia tho [01:26] gottto: Okay. I'll do a little googling. Its odd that it doesn't work out of the box though. Since it did last time [01:26] Hazamonzo: what's the problem? [01:26] gottto: Thanks for looking over the log file. If you have any ideas i'll be here :) [01:27] oh hey DarkwingDuck. Welcome back [01:27] Hazamonzo: it does seem funny... not haha funny tho [01:27] Sorry, was in a meeting [01:27] DarkwingDuck: No need to apologise [01:28] DarkwingDuck: It would like like (after gottto checked out my x.org log) that my graphics are not running correctly [01:28] the log file pastebin is...

I have windows vista set up to dual-boot with kubuntu but whenever I try to load kubuntu, I get what I think is the GRUB shell. Whenever I try to boot from there it tells me the kernel is not found. When I exit it, it says that the operating system is not found [01:31] genii: Im torn whether to get a coffee or a real drink. Think i have a little whiskey in the kitchen [01:34] guys, I have a problem [01:34] a program won't dissapear from the taskbar [01:35] and th Close is grayed out [01:35] xenaxon__: what program?

[04:00] gottto: i did that. but strange thing happened . i will tell you [04:01] dpkg --purge "packagename [04:01] " [04:02] gottto: before i came here for help i downloaded vlc 1.0.4 source and compiled it. at the last stage of the make it gave an error so i thought it failed [04:02] k [04:04] phoenix_: that's why checkinstall was invented [04:04] gottto: my pervious version was vlc 1.0.2, i installed the vlc 1.0.5 from the link you gave me, now when i opened vlc and found it was 1.0.4.no video, only audio. [04:04] phoenix_: the 5 version might be in /usr/local/bin [04:05] gottto: i tried to uninstall vlc and reinstall, but the setup finishes in seconds and i get back the vlc 1.0.4 version [04:05] gottto: i will check that [04:07] gottto: in usr/local/bin vlc 1.0.4 is there. if i compile a source, does it automatically install the compiled package [04:08] phoenix_: the make install command does - you should use checkinstall so you can remove apps if they break tho [04:08] !checkinstall [04:08] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! [04:09] phoenix_: try in terminal find / -name vlc1.0.5 [04:09] ok [04:15] gottto: the command "find / -name vlc1.0.5" returned nothing. [04:16] gottto: what dhould i do now, should i have to make the package again with the checkinstall command [04:17] phoenix_: I don't know how that will solve the no video prob === islington_ is now known as islington [04:17] phoenix_: you could ask in #videolan [04:18] gottto: no , i want to do a fresh install, so how to uninstall completely [04:21] phoenix_: that's hard without the checkinstall part - find / -name vlc - and remove all that are listed is an option [04:22] gottto: i will try to use the checkinstall and remove method [04:22] phoenix_: luck :) [04:24] i have installed kubuntu and ubuntu on same drive, ubuntu was installed first, how do i keep kubuntu from using the 'startup' options of ubuntu?? can both be setup for their own startup options? [04:28] gottto: the checkinstall resulted in error [04:29] gottto: i will paste the error [04:29] k [04:29] gottto: "make: *** [install] Error 2" [04:29] gottto: "**** Installation failed. Aborting package creation." [04:30] "Restoring overwritten files from backup...OK Cleaning up...OK Bye." [04:30] phoenix_: above the "make: *** [install] Error 2" it will say what failed [04:31] gottto: http://paste.ubuntu.com/406316/ [04:32] k [04:33] phoenix_: error: X11/extensions/XShm.h: means you don't have a lib it needs - when you do ./configure you need to add options - do ./configure -h to see the options [04:34] gottto: this is the error message i get in terminal when i run vlc -->http://paste.ubuntu.com/406318/ [04:36] phoenix_: you need to add options to ./configure like --enable-X [04:36] gottto: i will try that [04:37] k [04:38] the current vlc is at 1.0.5 [04:57] DarkwingDuck, poke -- I have a KDE related question [04:57] paultag: Shoot [04:58] DarkwingDuck, I'm trying to install Kivio but I can't find it anywhere [04:58] DarkwingDuck, it is in Debian, but not Ubuntu, and the old versions look pulled [04:58] DarkwingDuck, I'm real confused about it [04:59] DarkwingDuck, Oh, and I'm on lucid [04:59] paultag: one sec [05:01] DarkwingDuck, brb, take your time, I'll poke you when I get back [05:01] Okay [05:01] paultag: I got an answer [05:03] paultag: It's not included with KOffice 2.1 series. It will be on KOffice 2.2. They are on 2.2Beta right now... Maybe late summer to fall they will have it included. You can try getting the dev sourse and building it if you needed it. [05:05] paultag: More info on KOffice 2.2Beta1 http://www.koffice.org/news/koffice-2-2-beta-1/ http://download.kde.org/download.php?url=unstable/koffice-2.1.81/koffice-2.1.81.tar.bz2 [05:06] paultag: The last link was the download [05:07] paultag: if ya need anything else ping me bro [05:07] Hello [05:08] Is anyone else on this island? [05:29] gottto: finally reinstalled vlc [05:29] phoenix_: what was the trick? [05:30] gottto: searched all the dir for vlc and deleted everything [05:30] phoenix_: well done :) [05:31] gottto: thanks a lot gottto. its very hard to compile a source [05:31] phoenix_: it takes some practise... [05:32] gottto: ya, today i learned from you that i should use checkinstall during compilation [05:32] :) [05:34] DarkwingDuck, thanks! [05:34] DarkwingDuck, I'll have to do a build [05:35] gottto: bye [05:35] phoenix_: see ya [05:37] paultag: anything else? [05:37] DarkwingDuck, nah, all set, thanks bro! :) [05:37] DarkwingDuck, any idea on why that happened? [05:37] paultag: Not sure, all I know is the KOffice devs didn't include it for 2.1 series [05:38] DarkwingDuck, that's odd [05:38] paultag: We just re-packaged it and uploaded it today... But, after talking to the packager he said that it was not included... [05:38] DarkwingDuck, euch. OK. Thanks. [05:38] DarkwingDuck, :) [05:39] paultag: You running Kubuntu again? [05:39] DarkwingDuck, just scoping it out. I am thinking about it. I have been working with the Marble guys, and I love 'em, and would love to help with Kubuntu [05:40] paultag: We would love to have you.
