| Sachse_Siechtum | hello anybody home? | 00:56 |
| kathleenlepirate | does xubuntu 9.10 use grub2? | 01:31 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | kathleenlepirate, yes | 01:37 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | kathleenlepirate, well it uses grub1 by default but you can install grub 2in smp | 01:39 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | spm | 01:39 |
| kathleenlepirate | so then I would have grub1 if i never opted in | 01:42 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | opted in? | 01:45 |
| kathleenlepirate | like, if i just did a normal install, it would be grub1 or 2? | 01:46 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | well you'd have some version of grub....just take a look in synaptic | 01:46 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | you'd have grub 1.97 beta4 | 01:46 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | it shows when your computer is booting and you are in the grub boot menu | 01:48 |
| kathleenlepirate | well, i'm on a live cd | 01:48 |
| kathleenlepirate | something's wrong with it | 01:48 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | something's wrong with the live cd? | 01:49 |
| kathleenlepirate | no, grub | 01:49 |
| kathleenlepirate | and my partitions apparently | 01:50 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | xubuntu won't boot? | 01:51 |
| kathleenlepirate | right | 01:51 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | what message comes up? | 01:51 |
| kathleenlepirate | i 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 underscore | 01:53 |
| kathleenlepirate | blinking* | 01:54 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | does the bios recognizes the hard disk= | 01:54 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | ? | 01:54 |
| kathleenlepirate | yes | 01:54 |
| kathleenlepirate | i mean, it's listed there | 01:55 |
| kathleenlepirate | i have to leave work now, i'll be back in like 10 minutes with what the error was | 01:55 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | hmm hard to say whats wrong,,, | 01:55 |
| Balsaq | is bios set to boot from the correct place? | 01:55 |
| kathleenlepirate | i believe so. that would be a stupid mistake haha | 01:56 |
| kathleenlepirate | i'll check....like i said, i'll be back in like 10 minutes. | 01:57 |
| Balsaq | once 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 |
| kathleenlepirate | haha wow | 01:58 |
| Balsaq | are you ultimately trying to install it tothe HD...or run from live CD? | 01:59 |
| kathleenlepirate | it is installed to the hd | 01:59 |
| kathleenlepirate | im trying to boot from that | 01:59 |
| Balsaq | is windows involved? | 02:00 |
| kathleenlepirate | yep | 02:02 |
| kathleenlepirate | source of the problem | 02:02 |
| kathleenlepirate | right well, i'll reboot and check the bios first | 02:03 |
| Balsaq | did you try find/boot/grub/stage1 | 02:03 |
| Balsaq | sounds like grub is looking at the wrong partition during boot | 02:06 |
| Balsaq | http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm | 02:07 |
| Balsaq | http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ | 02:09 |
| Balsaq | actually the 2nd link seems to be the correct one | 02:09 |
| kathleenlepirate | umm | 02:18 |
| kathleenlepirate | well it booted into xubuntu just fine, out of nowhere | 02:19 |
| kathleenlepirate | but didn't give me a choice | 02:19 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | bad bad Xubuntu *g* | 02:20 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | ;-) | 02:21 |
| kathleenlepirate | and i think in self-preservation, removed gparted from applications? | 02:22 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | hmm dont guess so... | 02:22 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | just restart the computer... to test if it still does boot... | 02:23 |
| kathleenlepirate | it does, directly into xubuntu | 02:24 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | ok | 02:32 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | so, problem solved? | 02:33 |
| kathleenlepirate | problem transfigured. i still want the option to boot into windows occasionally | 02:34 |
| kathleenlepirate | also, i'm pretty sure it's not seeing a partition it should | 02:36 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | hmmm..is the missing partition a ntfs one? | 02:36 |
| kathleenlepirate | yes | 02:36 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | look if you got the package for supporting ntfs installed... | 02:38 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | or maybe the partition is not mounted | 02:41 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | but it should be showing in "harddisk drives management" | 02:41 |
| kathleenlepirate | how is it that it can format a partition to a format it can't read | 02:48 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | well...I think its the only option it gives to you... | 03:04 |
| kathleenlepirate | what option? | 03:05 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | same 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_Siechtum | well to format that partition | 03:05 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | but I dont know so much about part. management in Xubuntu | 03:06 |
| kathleenlepirate | i don't either, which is my problem | 03:06 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | maybe go to #ubuntu and ask there | 03:09 |
| kathleenlepirate | ugh, 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 | ...*59gb | 03:50 |

| Sachse_Siechtum | I finally saved my sound problem with WINE! *yay* | 20:27 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | solved | 20:27 |
| charlie-tca | Yay! | 20:28 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | solution was: Winepulse! | 20:30 |
| charlie-tca | really? | 20:31 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | yes | 20:31 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | I just had alsa/esound/jack/..../ to choose from...no pulse in the list | 20:31 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | after changing pulse audio package to 1.2 .... | 20:32 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | bingo...pulse audio in the list.. | 20:32 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | half-life finally has sound now :-) | 20:32 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | the alternative would have been: removing pulse packages...but that would have meant: no 5.1. sound... | 20:32 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | and I need my 5.1 sound *g* | 20:33 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | now I'm curious if I gonna have real 5.1 surround sound with Max payne 2 | 20:34 |
| Sachse_Siechtum | *gonna install it later* :-) | 20:34 |
