Sachse_Siechtumhello anybody home?00:56
kathleenlepiratedoes xubuntu 9.10 use grub2?01:31
Sachse_Siechtumkathleenlepirate, yes01:37
Sachse_Siechtumkathleenlepirate, well it uses grub1 by default but you can install grub 2in smp01:39
Sachse_Siechtumspm01:39
kathleenlepirateso then I would have grub1 if i never opted in01:42
Sachse_Siechtumopted in?01:45
kathleenlepiratelike, if i just did a normal install, it would be grub1 or 2?01:46
Sachse_Siechtumwell you'd have some version of grub....just take a look in  synaptic01:46
Sachse_Siechtumyou'd have grub 1.97 beta401:46
Sachse_Siechtumit shows when your computer is booting and you are in the grub boot menu01:48
kathleenlepiratewell, i'm on a live cd01:48
kathleenlepiratesomething's wrong with it01:48
Sachse_Siechtumsomething's wrong with the live cd?01:49
kathleenlepirateno, grub01:49
kathleenlepirateand my partitions apparently01:50
Sachse_Siechtumxubuntu won't boot?01:51
kathleenlepirateright01:51
Sachse_Siechtumwhat message comes up?01:51
kathleenlepiratei think it was a read error. i have it written down, but i don't have it with me, i'm at work. but that doesn't show up anymore anyway. now when i start the computer without the live cd, nothing happens after the BIOS screen. just a bliniing underscore01:53
kathleenlepirateblinking*01:54
Sachse_Siechtumdoes the bios recognizes the hard disk=01:54
Sachse_Siechtum?01:54
kathleenlepirateyes01:54
kathleenlepiratei mean, it's listed there01:55
kathleenlepiratei have to leave work now, i'll be back in like 10 minutes with what the error was01:55
Sachse_Siechtumhmm hard to say whats wrong,,,01:55
Balsaqis bios set to boot from the correct place?01:55
kathleenlepiratei believe so. that would be a stupid mistake haha01:56
kathleenlepiratei'll check....like i said, i'll be back in like 10 minutes.01:57
Balsaqonce i was in a similar situation...when the cursor was blinking as you say...i hit f1 or f2 and the desktop appeared.01:57
kathleenlepiratehaha wow01:58
Balsaqare you ultimately trying to install it tothe HD...or run from live CD?01:59
kathleenlepirateit is installed to the hd01:59
kathleenlepirateim trying to boot from that01:59
Balsaqis windows involved?02:00
kathleenlepirateyep02:02
kathleenlepiratesource of the problem02:02
kathleenlepirateright well, i'll reboot and check the bios first02:03
Balsaqdid you try find/boot/grub/stage102:03
Balsaqsounds like grub is looking at the wrong partition during boot02:06
Balsaqhttp://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm02:07
Balsaqhttp://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/02:09
Balsaqactually the 2nd link seems to be the correct one02:09
kathleenlepirateumm02:18
kathleenlepiratewell it booted into xubuntu just fine, out of nowhere02:19
kathleenlepiratebut didn't give me a choice02:19
Sachse_Siechtumbad bad Xubuntu *g*02:20
Sachse_Siechtum;-)02:21
kathleenlepirateand i think in self-preservation, removed gparted from applications?02:22
Sachse_Siechtumhmm dont guess so...02:22
Sachse_Siechtumjust restart the computer... to test if it still does boot...02:23
kathleenlepirateit does, directly into xubuntu02:24
Sachse_Siechtumok02:32
Sachse_Siechtumso, problem solved?02:33
kathleenlepirateproblem transfigured. i still want the option to boot into windows occasionally02:34
kathleenlepiratealso, i'm pretty sure it's not seeing a partition it should02:36
Sachse_Siechtumhmmm..is the missing partition a ntfs one?02:36
kathleenlepirateyes02:36
Sachse_Siechtumlook if you got the package for supporting ntfs installed...02:38
Sachse_Siechtumor maybe the partition is not mounted02:41
Sachse_Siechtumbut it should be showing in "harddisk drives management"02:41
kathleenlepiratehow is it that it can format a partition to a format it can't read02:48
Sachse_Siechtumwell...I think its the only option it gives to you...03:04
kathleenlepiratewhat option?03:05
Sachse_Siechtumsame in windows....plugin a usb stick...and if the filesystem in damaged or not readable...it says "....cant be read...do you want to format it?"03:05
Sachse_Siechtumwell  to format that partition03:05
Sachse_Siechtumbut I dont know so much about part. management in Xubuntu03:06
kathleenlepiratei don't either, which is my problem03:06
Sachse_Siechtummaybe go to #ubuntu and ask there03:09
kathleenlepirateugh, why would gparted tell me "failed to mount '59G Volume'. The enclosing drive for the volume is locked." when i don't have a 5gb partition?03:49
kathleenlepirate...*59gb03:50

Sachse_SiechtumI finally saved my sound problem with WINE! *yay*20:27
Sachse_Siechtumsolved20:27
charlie-tcaYay!20:28
Sachse_Siechtumsolution was: Winepulse!20:30
charlie-tcareally?20:31
Sachse_Siechtumyes20:31
Sachse_SiechtumI just had alsa/esound/jack/..../ to choose from...no pulse in the list20:31
Sachse_Siechtumafter changing pulse audio package to 1.2 ....20:32
Sachse_Siechtumbingo...pulse audio in the list..20:32
Sachse_Siechtumhalf-life finally has sound now :-)20:32
Sachse_Siechtumthe alternative would have been: removing pulse packages...but that would have meant: no 5.1. sound...20:32
Sachse_Siechtumand I need my 5.1 sound *g*20:33
Sachse_Siechtumnow I'm curious if I gonna have real 5.1 surround sound with Max payne 220:34
