=== switchgirl is now known as DarkNemisis
frank1_anyone help me figure out how to set up a dual boot on an existing system03:47
holsteinyou want to boot ubuntu and what?03:48
frank1_windows xp that i have an iso of on a cd03:48
=== switchgirl is now known as darkNemisis
holsteini like to do the windows install03:49
holsteinand then the ubuntu install03:49
holsteinthats what i consider the 'easy way'03:49
frank1_i have been running ubuntu for a while and love it but need a small partition of windows for my berry03:49
holsteinhmmm03:49
holsteinUSB sync?03:49
darkNemisis how'd i wget without robots? is it just --no-robots03:49
holsteincan you get away with virtual box?03:49
aveilleuxfrank1_: To be honest, installing XP and _then_ Ubuntu is the easiest way arounf03:49
frank1_yea backup03:49
aveilleuxaround*03:49
frank1_ok03:50
frank1_so......i have two drives now, one is just my os and the other is all my media03:50
aveilleuxfrank1_: Also Holstein has a point, why don't you just use VBox?03:50
holsteini would back up EVERYTHING03:50
holsteinmaybe even consider imaging if your really worried about it03:51
holsteinyou just need to shrink a partition03:51
frank1_its all on a seperate drive. cant i just pull that drive to be safe and do the windows/ubuntu install on the other03:51
holsteinand claim that space with the XP installer03:51
frank1_thats what i thought03:51
holsteinthen you'll have to re-do grub03:51
holsteinive never had to do it that way03:51
frank1_i have instructions on how to redo grup03:51
holsteinbut it should work fine03:51
frank1_grub03:52
frank1_but im not sure how to repartition a mounted drive03:52
holsteinstill, vBox is nice with windows03:52
holsteinwith the snapshots03:52
frank1_does vbox work with blackberry backup and itunes?03:52
holsteinvbox just hosts an OS03:52
frank1_the only reasons i would ever use windows03:53
holsteinand supports USB passthrough03:53
aveilleuxfrank1_: It works if you install the PUEL version from the Oracle website03:53
aveilleuxfrank1_: ...yes, as holstein mentioned, it supports USB passthrough03:53
holsteinSO if you need a USB port to sync03:53
holsteinyour good to go03:53
holsteinXP runs well in there too03:53
frank1_hmm so this sounds to good to be true03:53
holsteini had it running with 256 of ram03:53
frank1_how hard is it to set up vbox03:53
holsteinvirtual ram i should say03:53
holsteinnah03:53
aveilleuxfrank1_: Once you get used to virtualization, it really makes a lot of sense03:54
holsteinits easier than what your trying to do ;)03:54
aveilleuxfrank1_: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads Download the .deb file here03:54
frank1_easier sounds better03:54
aveilleuxfrank1_: Because only the Open Source version is in the repos, and you want the Personal Use and Evaluation License version (because of the USB passthrough support)03:55
aveilleuxfrank1_: VBox is very easy to use.03:55
frank1_ok im lost already03:55
holsteinwhere?03:56
holsteinOH03:56
holsteinwith the 2 versions03:56
frank1_how do i know if im running a 64 bit kernal03:56
holsteinyou need the one that supports the USB passthrough03:56
frank1_whatever that is03:56
holsteinhmmm03:56
aveilleuxfrank1_: in Terminal, type uname -m03:56
aveilleuxx86_64 of amd64 is 64-bit, i686 is 32-bit03:56
holsteinyou can do 32bit guests on a 64bit host right?03:56
aveilleuxholstein: Yes03:57
aveilleuxholstein: You can do the other way 'round as well, but you have to fully virtualize the CPU and it's slow as heck03:57
holsteinOH03:57
holsteinthats right03:57
holsteini read that somewhere03:57
aveilleuxholstein: I think he's looking for which package to install03:57
frank1_uname -m yields i68603:57
aveilleuxfrank1_: That means you're running 32-bit03:58
frank1_so dl the i686 package next to lucid?03:58
aveilleuxfrank1: Yes03:58
frank1_ok 3.5 min of dl03:59
frank1_so in 4 min ill be totally lost asking for help03:59
frank1_:-D03:59
aveilleuxfrank1_: Don't worry, that's what we're here for -;)04:00
aveilleux...04:00
aveilleux;-) *04:00
darkNemisis how'd i wget without robots? is it just --no-robots04:00
aveilleuxdarkNemisis: What do you mean, robots? wget downloads individual files04:02
aveilleuxdarkNemesis: Also, man wget04:02
holsteinim not sure i know how to wget with robots04:02
darkNemisisi need to scan a site for unlocked directories04:03
darkNemisisor unprotected04:03
holsteintry wget -help04:04
aveilleuxdarkNemesis: I'm not helping you crack into public FTP servers04:04
holsteinthat spit out a bunch of options04:04
holsteinOH04:04
holsteinis that whats up ;)04:04
holsteinhehe04:04
holsteinagreed04:04
aveilleuxholstein: Someone a few days ago was saying they had to use CUDA to crack md504:04
aveilleuxholstein: I was like "...... what?"04:05
darkNemisisholstein, not doing that04:05
* zkriesse the bot is here04:05
* aveilleux wabes to zkreisse04:06
aveilleuxwaves, even04:06
aveilleuxdarkNemesis: Then can you explain why you need to scan for unprotected directories on a system?04:06
frank1_aveilleux: how much ram should i be allocating04:07
aveilleuxfrank1_: How much physical RAM do you have?04:07
holsteinXP is old04:08
holsteinits likes 512 just fine really04:08
frank1_3gb but its saying i only have 2560mb available04:08
aveilleuxfrank1_: Okay, allocate 512 MB to the guest machine04:08
frank1_ok04:09
frank1_ok now im actually los04:09
frank1_lost04:09
frank1_  Select a hard disk image to be used as the boot hard disk of the virtual machine04:10
aveilleuxfrank1_: Create a new hard disk image04:10
holsteinnow you get to make a 'fake' hard drive04:10
frank1_yea thats my only choice i just dont know what it means04:10
holsteinon your exisiting filesystem04:11
holsteintheres one04:11
holsteini think its called 'dynamically expanding'04:11
aveilleuxfrank1_: Now you're creating a fake hard drive. It looks like a single file on your host machine04:11
holsteini like that one04:11
frank1_yup04:11
frank1_ok04:11
aveilleuxholstein: There's no reason to use the static imahe04:11
aveilleuximage*04:11
holsteinaveilleux: i read something about speed04:11
holsteinbut i didnt notice really04:12
aveilleuxholstein: Only very, very slightly. It decreases fragmentation.04:12
frank1_if im doing dynamic why do i need to select the size of the vitual drive in mb04:12
frank1_  This size will be reported to the Guest OS as the maximum size of this hard disk.04:13
holsteinmake sure you give it enough room for whatever you need to do over ther04:13
holsteinyour backups and what-not04:13
holsteinit will 'grow' in ubuntu04:13
aveilleuxfrank1_: Yes, that. You can't have an infinitely large image. Operating systems can't handle that04:13
holsteinBUT the fake XP will think its whatever size you tell it to be there04:13
frank1_oh i was getting the impression that it would just take as much space as it needed04:14
frank1_if it needs more itll just take it04:14
aveilleuxfrank1_: Yes, that's how it works04:14
aveilleuxfrank1_: But you have to report a maximum amount to the gues OS04:14
frank1_so.......how much should i be reporting04:14
aveilleuxfrank1_: Because a computer can't say "you have a disk that's just as big as you need it"04:14
frank1_ahh04:15
aveilleuxfrank1_: VBox should give you a default, if you selected XP on the first screen04:15
frank1_so really it doesent mater how much i repost04:15
frank1_report04:15
holsteini think its 8gb right?04:15
aveilleuxfrank1_: It does.04:15
holsteinthe default04:15
frank1_10gb04:15
aveilleuxfrank1_: The max is the cap, you can't increase it past that04:15
holsteinnot going to hurt to say 20gb or so04:15
aveilleuxfrank1_: No, you don't need that much. Leave it at 1004:15
holsteinif you got the space04:15
holsteinim just thinking about he itunes management04:16
aveilleuxholstein: shared directories :304:16
holsteinif he wants to store audio files over there at some point04:16
holsteinthat would be cool04:16
holsteinsounds like the kind of thing itunes wouldnt like ;)04:16
holsteinbut, that was my only agrument for the 2004:16
frank1_i have the space but the only thing im planning on storeing is my berry backup04:17
holstein10'll do it :)04:17
frank1_so ten it is04:18
frank1_now how do i install xp on this fake hd04:18
aveilleuxfrank1_: Open up the settings (gear icon)04:19
aveilleuxfrank1_: under Storage, select the optical drive and choose to open an ISO. Open the XP ISo04:19
aveilleuxISO*04:19
aveilleuxFrank1_: Then just start the VM (virtual machine) and you're good to go04:19
darkNemisis!portscan04:20
ubot2Factoid 'portscan' not found04:20
frank1_in storage i see no optical drive04:21
aveilleuxdarkNemesis: If you're still on that, you might want to look at Angry IP Scanner04:21
frank1_theres a storage tree04:21
aveilleuxfrank1_: Should be the CD-looking icon04:21
aveilleuxfrank1_: Labled "empty"04:21
frank1_yea empty04:21
aveilleuxfrank1_: Click on it, then in the right sidepane click ont he folder with an up arrow04:22
aveilleuxfrank1_: Then click "add" and find the ISO, then select04:22
JackJelinekis there a way to restart a Ubuntu installation without loosing everything? I screwed up my audio files and I need to reinstall Ubuntu to fix it. Is there a way to do it without having to repartition?04:22
aveilleuxJackJelinek: Yes, if you choose manual partitioning you can opt to not format anything. I think.04:23
JackJelinekokay, i installed this from Win7 will i have to go back to it and do it there? or can I do something on Ubuntu itself?04:23
frank1_looks like its working. got a blue screen running windows setup04:24
aveilleuxJackJelinek: You used Wubi? I have no idea then, sorry. Not my area of expertise04:24
JackJelinekno, I installed ubuntu using the iso in Windows 7. do I need to boot over to windows 7 to do this?04:24
aveilleuxfrank1_: Change the storage controller type for the hard drive to ICH6... you'll see it04:25
frank1_uhh crap?04:25
acerimmer_JackJelinek: that is wubi04:25
frank1_i didnt04:25
aveilleuxJackJelinek: you're not making any sense. You can't install Ubuntu from Windows without using Wubi.04:25
frank1_and its installing already04:25
aveilleuxfrank1_: Um... problem solved, yay?04:25
frank1_is that a problem04:25
JackJelinekall i did was mount to Ubuntu .iso with daemon tools and installed it from there.04:25
aveilleuxfrank1_: You mean the XP install blue screen? Not the fatal error bluescreen?04:26
aveilleuxJackJelinek: That's Wubi.04:26
frank1_aveilleux: yea the install blue screen04:26
aveilleuxfrank1_: Okay, don't scare me like that x304:26
JackJelinekah okay, so just go back there and reinstall? I tried that before and now on my boot screen I have windows 7 and two Ubuntus but only one works04:26
frank1_aveilleux: am i going to need to go through all this everytime i wanna run xp04:26
frank1_aveilleux: or will i just select xp and hit run04:27
aveilleuxfrank1_: No, it's just like installing Windows on a normal computer. You'll have to unmount the CD once you're done though.04:27
aveilleuxJackJelinek: That seems like you don't want to do it.04:27
frank1_aveilleux: ok not sure what that means.. when i had to find and select my iso i just found and selected the copy thats on my desktop not the copy on my disk04:28
JackJelinekall I want is to fix my audio issues. apparently when i installed it it totally skipped the subsystem required to even have sound. thats what someone in here told me04:28
aveilleuxJackJelinek: Then you don't have to reinstall! just run sudo aptitude install alsa-utils and it'll install what you need.04:28
aveilleuxfrank1_: N-no, you have to unmount the ISO from the virtual machine04:29
frank1_aveilleux: ok well i hope youll be able to help me with that04:29
JackJelinekokay because yesterday they had me check /dev/mixer and there was nothing there which they said was amazing04:30
aveilleuxfrank1_: After you're done installing Windows (there's two reboots in between), go to Devices > CD/DVD Devices Unmount CD/DVD Device04:30
aveilleuxJackJelinek: It is, but run that command anyway and see how it goes04:30
JackJelinekdo i need to restart after installing this?04:30
aveilleuxJackJelinek: no, but you should log out and log back in.04:30
frank1_aveilleux: is that in vbox on in windows04:30
JackJelinekokay i will be right back then04:31
aveilleuxfrank1_: VBox, look at the top menu bar04:31
frank1_aveilleux: not seeing it04:32
aveilleuxfrank1_: Send me a screenshot? http://imgur.com/04:32
JackJelinekyep, I don't have any sound still04:32
aveilleuxJackJelinek: That was... really fast04:33
JackJelineknewly built custom computer?04:33
aveilleuxJackJelinek: I'm more speaking in terms if the package downloads... linux-sound-base is a pretty hefty DL04:33
JackJelinekoh yeah, it was done before i asked if i should reinstall04:34

=== bgs100 is now known as bgs000
aveilleuxno, frank1_, of the running VBox window....04:34
JackJelinekis that bad that it went so fast?04:35
frank1_well ok than i see the device menu04:36
aveilleuxJackJelinek: I think your sound hardware isn't being detected04:36
aveilleux!audio |JackJelinek04:36
ubot2JackJelinek: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.  If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files,  see !players and !mp3.04:36
JackJelinekive been through all those. the guy i talked with yesterday says it can detect it but i dont have the audio subsystem to use it or something like that04:37
aveilleuxHardware audio problems is really one of my vague spots04:37
frank1_aveilleux: after i unmount the cd can i delete the iso from my desktop?04:37
holsteinJackJelinek: can you run this in the terminal?04:38
holsteinaplay -l04:38
holsteinyou dont have to post it here04:38
JackJelinekaplay: device_list:223: no soundcards found...04:38
holsteinhmmm04:38
aveilleuxfrank1_: Well not quite yet. You have to remove it from the media manager. It's in the File menu04:38
JackJelinekthis stumped everyone last night.04:38
JackJelinekI have a Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio soundcard just fyi04:39
holsteinthe sound work under windows?04:39
JackJelinekyep04:39
aveilleuxJackJelinek: I don't think the X-Fi series has great support... I could never get mine working04:39
holsteinwell, at least its creative04:40
JackJelinekis it possible to use my onboard then?04:40
frank1_aveilleux: will you be here for a lil while? its got 11 min remaining and i wanna go eat04:40
aveilleuxfrank1_ Probably all night04:40
holsteini wouldnt cry about replacing a creative sound device04:40
frank1_aveilleux: cool brb04:40
aveilleuxJackJelinek: I don't think so, without removing the X-Fi04:40
JackJelinekI'm not even sure if this mobo has onboard actually...04:40
JackJelinekI don't really have any money right now to be buying a new card...04:41
holsteinyou could just get a crap card at the second hand shop04:41
holsteinfor a couple bucks04:41
JackJelinekbut there is no way i can get this card to work on this? this card isn't that new is it? i would think someone would figure out how to get it working on linux04:42
holsteinlooks like support use to be there04:43
holsteinand sketchy04:43
holsteini bet its been taken out04:43
holsteinused to *04:43
JackJelinekthats really annoying hah04:43
holsteincan be04:44
aveilleuxI think the guy working on it left to do other things04:44
JackJelinekso i'm SOL then?04:45
aveilleuxSadly04:46

aluexhi, i met a problem while installing virtualbox12:00
Silver_Fox_Please describe your problem aluex12:08
aluexwait,i m pasting. thank you in advance. :)12:11
aluexOutput is here :http://pastebin.com/1etdeahR12:14
aluexSilver_Fox_, poke12:16
geirhaHave you installed the kernel headers?12:20
geirhaaptitude search "linux-headers-$(uname -r)"12:20
aluexwhat's that?12:20
aluexnothing appears12:21
geirhaOdd. Do you have a self-built kernel?12:21
aluexNo,i used Ubuntu Tweak to clean some old kernel12:22
geirhaHm. What does uname -r say?12:22
aluex2.6.31-19-generic12:22
aluexOh, god.12:22
geirhaLatest is 2.6.31-2212:22
aluexI dont know.12:23
geirha(for Ubuntu 9.10)12:23
aluexHmm, i use 10.0412:24
geirhaWell, you want to install the linux-headers package for that version.  Should be  linux-headers-2.6.31-19-generic12:24
geirhaAh, that explains it12:24
geirhaYou are using a 9.10 kernel in 10.0412:24
aluexoh,maybe a wrong selection in grub caused that12:25
aluexI m going to restart12:25
aluexgeirha, something is odd.12:28
aluexthe latest kernal choice in my grub list is 2.6.31-1912:29
aluexi dont know,but something called vmcoreinfo-2.6.32-22-generic really exists in my /boot/ folder12:31
aluexgeirha? poke.12:32
Silver_Fox_aluex,  Rather odd12:45
aluexI've solved the problem by remaking grub.cfg12:47
aluexthank you all.12:47
aluexby the way,what does "vga=786" mean?12:49
Silver_Fox_Just a VGA Resolution aluex12:52
aluexwhat does it refer to?12:52
Silver_Fox_Set your framebuffer resolution to VESA mode 78612:53
aluexi saw some information about changing screen resolution12:53
aluexwhen i start up12:53
aluexmy screen resolution is 1024x600 in reality12:54
Silver_Fox_For the boot only12:54
aluexoh.12:55
aluexyou mean it doesn't affect my session?12:55
Silver_Fox_No, I do not believe so12:56
Silver_Fox_It is for boot only :)12:56
aluexplease more detail? .. i cannot catch your words.12:58
Silver_Fox_aluex, I will be back shortly.13:02
aluexOk :)13:02
Silver_Fox_Perhaps someone else can reword / explain better while i am gone13:02

Darkness_DesOh, thanks.20:08
