[00:00] jimisrvrox: you can resize the partition in Ubuntu. You dont have to do it in Windows [00:00] jimisrvrox: well if you can :P [00:01] duanedesign: well its not allowing me to resize the partition! thats the issue [00:02] jimisrvrox: if you are using Gparted from the desktop you might try the installer. It has a partitioner based on Gparted by plays by a little different rules [00:02] duanedesign: right but I got to the partition thing and got a bit confused! [00:03] but I'll run it from the installer [00:06] ok duanedesign im at the partition piont [00:06] point* [00:07] ok now should I add a new partition table or edit the ntfs partition? [00:08] It should be something like: "Resize IDE1 master, partition #1 (hda1) and use freed space [00:09] Specify the size of the new partition as a percentage of your entire hard disk [00:09] ok but im using xubuntu [00:09] so I think the installer is a bit different [00:10] edit the ntfs partition [00:10] ok so i have the option to change the partition and put it in as ntfs and use the mount point /windows right? [00:12] jimisrvrox: you dont need to set a mount point. At least my windows partition doesnt have one set in Gparted [00:13] ok but I shouldnt format the partition right? [00:13] I figure if I format it it'll wipe it out [00:13] right [00:13] yeah dont format [00:14] ok but heres the funny thing...when I change it only allows the fs option format option and mount point option [00:14] if I click on the device I can add a new partition table [00:15] hmm. there should be two options when you get to the partitioning section of the intsller. Manual Partitioning and Automatic... [00:17] right and i cliked on manual [00:18] jimisrvrox: if you right click on the partition and select information [00:19] is their a 'Warning' box at the bottom [00:19] yup [00:19] im getting that 46 clusters are referenced multiple times and saying to run chkdsk /f on windows [00:21] NTFS is inconsistent Run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it twice [00:22] I bet you its this error [00:22] http://pastebin.ca/570633 [00:26] jimisrvrox: definetly boot into Windows and run chkdsk /f on Windows then reboot it TWICE [00:26] so after than then I should be able to resize it then [00:27] i am not sure how to do that with the /f parameter. [00:27] yes jimisrvrox [00:27] *should* :) [00:27] and I kept trying to figure out what the hekc the default pw was for su [00:27] I was gonna try to run the mount -a command bc the error message window was too small to display everything [00:29] jimisrvrox: by default the root acount is disabled [00:29] yes I am aware of that [00:29] but you should be able to enable it from the command line via su [00:30] damn that chkdsk is gonna take a while eh [00:31] jimisrvrox: to enable root account: sudo passwd root [00:31] but if you can get by with using sudo i would do that [00:31] heh shows you how much I remember from my linux class heh [00:32] you can simulate a root login shell with : sudo -i [00:32] If you really need a persistent root login [00:32] wtf happened to command line? press F8 for boot options and it doesnt give me just the damn command line [00:33] so I ran safe mode and ran chkdsk /f and it says oh were sorry we cant unlock the volume [00:33] hmm. that is odd [00:34] yeah tell me about it [00:34] usually you can get start system in command line [00:55] hey duanedesign you still around? [01:19] jimisrvrox: sorry on my out. Here is a good wiki page on setting up a dual boot. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot#Resizing%20Partitions%20Using%20the%20Ubuntu%20Installer [01:20] <_CommandeR_> anyone tried wubi on a raid partition? [01:37] _CommandeR_: good question [01:37] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=410896 [01:37] does that answer you question? [01:37] * holstein has never tried [01:39] <_CommandeR_> hm that is from april 2007 [01:39] yeah [01:39] <_CommandeR_> but i tried wubi 10.4 and well issues after booting it. [01:39] says the new verion should support it [01:39] i was assuming the new verion would be out ;) [01:39] maybe not [01:39] <_CommandeR_> would be odd [01:44] <_CommandeR_> hm [01:44] indeed [01:44] i would probably try and install to an external USB drive [01:45] or some 'normal' partition somewhere [01:45] <_CommandeR_> allready has, tried fedora on my usb it saw my partitions [01:45] <_CommandeR_> already* [01:45] i dont have the gear here to test it [01:46] <_CommandeR_> seems odd that noone has asked these questions before, now that raid is not so exclusive anymore. [01:46] i know [02:10] would I assign / and swap are primary and /home is logical right? [02:10] during a partition [02:10] jimisrvrox: I believe so [02:11] zkriesse: another guy is saying that it really doesnt make much of a difference [02:12] Hmm [02:12] <_CommandeR_> having issues with wubi on my raid drive, stalls on Busybox and initramfs.

[02:12] no idea at this time _CommandeR_ [02:12] <_CommandeR_> hm [02:40] zkriesse, if he comes back check if its hardware or software raid [02:41] hardware raid should be possible but probably have to use the alternate install, software raid (Windows Raid) would break under wubi [02:42] k Vantrax [02:51] _CommandeR_: Vantrax> zkriesse, if he comes back check if its hardware or software raid [02:51] hardware raid should be possible but probably have to use the alternate install, software raid (Windows Raid) would break under wubi [02:51] Vantrax: _CommandeR_ is here [02:51] <_CommandeR_> Hardware raid.

I dual boot with win 7 and ubuntu 10.04. While on win7, I was downloading and filled up a separate partition I had for my movies, set up with nfts. Once it was full, I couldn't get to it. I only saw it from my app on Rainmeter. However I couldn't see if from My Computer. When I restarted my computer it would go straight to grub rescue prompt. When I put ubuntu 10.04 live and went to gparted and tried to reinstall, none of my partitio [16:41] hello Scunizi [16:42] morning [16:44] Do you guys have any ideas of what to do. should I try and get ubuntu rescue remix? [16:45] spursncowboys: grub wont boot ubuntu or win7? [16:46] no and when i use ubuntu live and gparted, it doesn't recognize any os [16:46] maybe your hard drive failed [16:47] gparted wont boot anything [16:47] !grub2 [16:47] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [16:47] i would look at that link [16:47] and try to recover grub from a live CD [16:48] see if that gets you in [16:48] and go from there [16:48] spursncowboys: did you edit /etc/fstab ? [16:49] no what would that do? [16:49] if you had, that might keep your ubuntu system from booting [16:49] just a question [16:49] you dont need to edit it [16:50] oh ok. I made a new partition a few days ago through a windows program. But I have restarted and grub has worked fine since. [16:51] so, grub is booting win7 and ubuntu? [16:51] holstein: yeah [16:52] hmmm [16:52] so, whats the problem spursncowboys ? [16:53] hello pica-pica [16:53] wait. no it's not booting. it goes to grub rescue. then in ubuntu live, it doesn't recognize any of the partitions. [16:53] hey. does anyone know what the keyboard shortcuts for lucid are? volume control? [16:53] siddhion: Keyboard shortcuts for what? [16:53] spursncowboys: i would try restoring grub [16:53] holstein: how [16:53] but you coule have a hardware issue [16:54] could* [16:54] !grub2 | spursncowboys [16:54] spursncowboys: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since Karmic. For more information and troubleshooting on GRUB2 please refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub2 [16:54] zkriesse volume keyboard shortcut. [16:54] holstein: it is an acer apire one. im reading that wiki as we speak. thanks for the help. [16:55] siddhion: hmm one sec [16:55] spursncowboys: Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD [16:55] zkriesse oh its ok, i found it. System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts [16:55] that section [16:55] that would be my first step i think [16:55] bu you could have a bad HD [16:56] siddhion: heh [16:56] siddhion: glad you did [16:56] holstein: is there a program from ubuntu live, or are you talking about gparted? [16:56] zkriesse ;) [16:56] spursncowboys: there are tools on the live CD [16:56] spursncowboys: Recover Grub 2 via LiveCD [16:57] ^^ that section explains the process [16:57] holstein: i am on ubuntu live right now [17:00] * DarkNemesis just got back from the dentist and now has red braces (red and white teeth) [17:00] just won the group [17:03] spursncowboys: did your partitions show up when you ran 'sudo fdisk l' ? [17:04] holstein: no [17:05] seems like your partitions are bad [17:05] i would probably hit google for some rescue tools [17:05] thats going to get ugly though [17:06] i'm pretty novice with all this. [17:06] yeah? [17:06] your re-partitioning in windows [17:06] thats fairly advanced [17:09] I used partition wizard. [17:10] holstein: would ubuntu rescue help? [17:12] * holstein has not used ubuntu rescue [17:23] 3/3 [17:37] hobgoblin: hey got a sec? [17:44] <_CommandeR_> need help with wubi getting errors for some reason = http://pastebin.org/354657 [17:46] hello _CommandeR_ [17:46] <_CommandeR_> hi m8 [17:46] * duanedesign looking [17:47] i've never used Wubi but i'll take a look [17:47] <_CommandeR_> it worked few times but got errors during reboot now it wont even restart [17:47] ugh [17:47] <_CommandeR_> it points to command=c:\windows\system32\bcdedit.exe [17:47] <_CommandeR_> but i have no such folder. [17:47] <_CommandeR_> lol wrong.. [17:48] <_CommandeR_> this one lol = command=C:\Windows\sysnative\bcdedit.exe / [17:48] <_CommandeR_> i do not have that foler. [17:48] <_CommandeR_> folder* [17:53] It looks like their might be an issue with Wubi. It doesn't play very well with Windows 7 64-bit at the moment. [17:54] I cant confirm this. Just what some users are saying on the forums [17:54] <_CommandeR_> hm but there is no fix..? [17:54] <_CommandeR_> or workarround? [17:55] <_CommandeR_> also searching but finding old cases or not finished bug reports saying it should not do that [17:58] <_CommandeR_> hm the install worked when i did run it in xp compability mode [17:59] quick question - which I shall repeat at odd intervals - anyone in here from the UK and had experience getting nfs to work with a homehub [18:00] _CommandeR_: at the risk of not sounding like I wish to help - why use wubi and not a dual boot - personally I think it's ok to check things out but no more than that [18:00] <_CommandeR_> hobgoblin, i have a raid 0 partition [18:00] <_CommandeR_> and also another big one on my harddrive [18:00] <_CommandeR_> want to check kubuntu out a bit [18:00] aah - I think we've had this conversation [18:01] <_CommandeR_> already have ubuntu as default on my laptop :) [18:01] hello my fist time installation is using a wibi inside the windows....i got the same errors [18:01] hello my fist time installation is using a wibi inside the windows....i got the same errors [18:01] <_CommandeR_> have an ati card on this setup so want to check how that works :) [18:01] commander [18:01] <_CommandeR_> ronaldo_, what errors ? [18:02] purely in downloading of wibi installer.......but the best installation is not install an ubuntu inside the windows using the wibi installer [18:02] _CommandeR_: not got enough memory to run a vm? [18:03] <_CommandeR_> ronaldo_, do not get [18:03] <_CommandeR_> hobgoblin, vm got a limited 3d capability from what i know [18:03] ok what Os that using ....Windows Vista or Windows 7 [18:03] <_CommandeR_> win7 64bit [18:04] <_CommandeR_> seems that wubi points to wrong file when trying to edit boot [18:04] <_CommandeR_> C:\Windows\sysnative\bcdedit.exe/delete instead of windows\system32\bcdedit.exe [18:04] _CommandeR_: not sure - my checking things out does not run to the flim flam - I just really want to know how the things work in package install terms for instance [18:05] <_CommandeR_> hm but hearing that ATi cards run into few issues on linux is well need to test out first. [18:05] i do not know in Windows7 but I have a problem when i using wibi installer inside the windows....the error after installing the ubuntu os isssssssss......some user -group account ...problem [18:05] <_CommandeR_> have 5970card and well not sure if it is supported [18:07] <_CommandeR_> hobgoblin, rebooting to check if kubuntu boots. brb [18:17] hi team [18:18] hello go [18:18] * go is Akos/Puck [18:19] maybe you could combine all three monikers----> gopuckakos [18:19] :P [18:20] haha [18:26] i don't know how to say this [18:26] what i have to append at a command when i need to pause listing [18:27] i remember there was something with | but i don't know what to look for in google [18:29] and how do i apply changes that i make in the file browser list style to all folders? [18:44] andrei - less or more to pause listing [18:48] andrei: file manager issue - edit preferences - views [19:08] thank you [19:12] welcome [19:49] Hey all, any idea why VNC refuses to allow my android phone to connect with a password yet works fine without the password. (Yes, 'm typing the right one....) [20:38] hey team [21:32] i have a alienwarem11x with a switchable graphics card, ubuntu on the 2.6.32 kernel runs with the graphics card on all the time, which kills my battery, now the 2.6.34 kernel turns it off, but no wifi drivers for that... how do i fix [21:33] have installed, by mistake, 10.01. How can I tell which partitions this caused to be made and how to remove them? [21:33] i didnt think there was a 10.01 skip [21:34] skip: 'sudo fdisk -l' will list your partitions [21:41] qwiksilver711: do you know which wifi driver you need? [21:44] sorry [21:44] sooooo, I screwed up . Again. It is lucid 10.04. I tried to download lucid 3 times cause nothing happened, I thought. Then: out of space. How get space back? [21:44] yes [21:44] i need the broadcom dw1250 sta driver [21:45] skip: delete files? 'df -h' will list percent of drive space used on each of your partitions [21:51] not sure what I am looking at. It lists files I would not delete. Is there a way to send copy to you ? I tried select all , copy and paste to this line. Did not send [21:55] no ideas? [21:57] skip: yeah, run this, it will install a small app for sending info to a weblink then it will run it - 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit && sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit && df -h | pastebinit' [22:01] OK. Got it. How use it? [22:10] skip: | pastebinit [22:46] <_CommandeR_> hm [22:46] <_CommandeR_> hi people o/ [22:47] hi _CommandeR_ [22:47] _CommandeR_: Wubi still fighting you? [22:48] <_CommandeR_> yeah [22:48] <_CommandeR_> tried xp mode but then it modified wrong bootfile -_- [22:48] <_CommandeR_> vista mode gives same error as win7 mode. [22:50] <_CommandeR_> odd that it worked previous times with the same installer on same os [23:05] <_CommandeR_> hm ok so how is ubuntu working on raid system, as far as i know Windows needs drivers for raid while installing so how is ubuntu on that?
