| tenach | I have a machine that only goes to the grub cli when it reboots | 08:09 |

| === coffee is now known as Laggg | ||
| tenach | seems that my grub.cfg is missing. | 08:14 |
| seidos | tenach, all this grub1 and grub2 stuff confuses me. I think I have grub1 since I can edit the menu.lst file still. | 08:18 |
| seidos | and it actually makes a difference to the grub menu. I'm also using moon os with ubuntu-desktop installed...soooo | 08:19 |
| tenach | seidos: I'm just using the default, grub2, from a fresh install | 08:19 |
| seidos | tenach, fresh install of 10.04? | 08:19 |
| tenach | Yeah. | 08:19 |
| seidos | I don't know, have you looked at this at all? | 08:20 |
| seidos | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 08:20 |
| tenach | yea, I have. | 08:20 |

| tenach | All because I forgot to grub-update | 08:23 |
| tenach | er, update-grub | 08:23 |
| seidos | I don't know what "manually boot into windows" means | 08:23 |
| tenach | tell grub how to boot | 08:24 |
| tenach | right now all I see is | 08:24 |
| tenach | grub > | 08:24 |
| seidos | ah, so you can boot into windows and ubuntu with the proper command at the grub prompt? | 08:24 |
| tenach | Yeah. | 08:24 |
| tenach | I just need to boot to windows | 08:24 |
| tenach | so I can set the rest up to get into my liveUSB, so I can fix grub | 08:25 |
| seidos | did you ask in #ubuntu? | 08:25 |
| tenach | wo00t | 08:25 |
| tenach | it's the same as what you put in grub.cfg | 08:26 |

| Laggg | My terminal just went all grey... | 10:37 |
| Laggg | How do I fix this? | 10:37 |
| geirha | grey? | 10:39 |
| Laggg | like its asking to force quit | 10:40 |
| Laggg | but its not asking that | 10:40 |
| geirha | Oh, the compiz plugin is telling you it's not responding. Hm. | 10:41 |
| geirha | I don't think gnome-terminal has ever been "greyed" out for me. I can't imagine what could cause it. | 10:42 |
| Laggg | i opened gedit and then closed gedit | 10:42 |
| pedro3005 | Laggg, just kill the termina | 10:44 |

| pedro3005 | the new or the old one? or both? | 10:46 |

| pedro3005 | hm. maybe try CTRL ALT F1 to kill it, and CTRL ALT F7 to get back | 10:47 |
| pedro3005 | I gotta run | 10:47 |
| pedro3005 | see you all | 10:47 |
| Laggg | didnt work | 10:47 |
| geirha | So gnome-terminal is freezing | 10:49 |

| realeyes | hey guy, I just installed Ubuntu and ran 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras' :: What else should I run? | 14:03 |
| duanedesign | hello realeyes | 14:03 |
| realeyes | hello | 14:03 |
| duanedesign | that is a good start | 14:03 |
| realeyes | thanks. | 14:03 |
| realeyes | Is there anything else I should do? I hear a lot about 'syncing repos'. Do I need to do that? | 14:04 |
| zeroseven0183 | You may want to try installing Ubuntu Tweak. That would help you a lot customizing your Ubuntu | 14:06 |
| duanedesign | realeyes: I would add the medibuntu repository. | 14:07 |
| realeyes | tell me how plx? | 14:08 |
| duanedesign | realeyes: open a Terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal) | 14:09 |
| duanedesign | and run the commandL | 14:09 |
| duanedesign | echo deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ lucid free non-free | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list | 14:09 |
| duanedesign | you are running lucid I assume. | 14:10 |
| duanedesign | and this command: | 14:10 |
| realeyes | it worked, yes i am. Any next step? | 14:10 |
| duanedesign | wget -q http://packages.medibuntu.org/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - | 14:10 |
| realeyes | no errors | 14:10 |
| realeyes | anything else? | 14:11 |
| philinux | realeyes: Background info to medibuntu. http://medibuntu.org/ | 14:11 |
| zeroseven0183 | By the way, Medibuntu means Multimedia, Entertainment and Distractions In Ubuntu | 14:11 |
| philinux | realeyes: Have you installed the graphics driver for your card? | 14:12 |
| realeyes | yes | 14:12 |
| === paultag_ is now known as paultag | ||
| realeyes | i just did this: sudo wget --output-document=/etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/$(lsb_release -cs).list && sudo apt-get --quiet update && sudo apt-get --yes --quiet --allow-unauthenticated install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get --quiet update | 14:13 |
| realeyes | is that it? I'm done now? lol | 14:16 |
| duanedesign | a couple of things from the medibuntu repository you might need are the w32codecs | 14:17 |
| duanedesign | that package contain video codecs for popular proprietary formats | 14:17 |
| philinux | realeyes: is this 10.04 you installed. If so you might want to take a look at the sticky thread in ubuntu forum General Help. | 14:17 |
| duanedesign | realeyes: and if you plan on playing DVD's the package: libdvdcss2 | 14:18 |
| realeyes | 10.04.1 do not forget QT 4.6.3 | 14:30 |
| realeyes | Do not forget update 4.6.3 packages. | 14:30 |
| realeyes | What does this mean?? | 14:30 |
| bihari | hi | 14:31 |
| bihari | i wants to install vbox but it has some issue | 14:31 |
| bihari | http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/wpfQatpE | 14:32 |
| serfus | hey bihari | 14:36 |
| bihari | hi serfus | 14:37 |
| serfus | bihari, could you check if there is any other update manger or synaptic is running ? | 14:37 |
| serfus | another package manager | 14:38 |
| bihari | ok i have installed it | 14:38 |
| bihari | now may i know whats the next step ? | 14:38 |
| serfus | next step for what? | 14:38 |
| serfus | bihari, did you successfully installed what you wanted? | 14:39 |
| bihari | yes | 14:40 |
| zeroseven0183 | Are you installing two separate applications, bihari? | 14:40 |
| bihari | not now | 14:40 |
| bihari | i have stoped | 14:41 |
| serfus | bihari, great | 14:41 |
| bihari | thanks serfus | 14:41 |
| serfus | bihari, you are welcome :) | 14:41 |
| zeroseven0183 | bihari: If you want Virtualbox, I would suggest getting the PUEL (Personal Use and Evaluation License) version from http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads instead | 14:42 |
| zeroseven0183 | Download the .deb file and install on your computer | 14:42 |
| bihari | zeroseven0183, whats wrong with software center? | 14:45 |
| bihari | i have downloaded from sofftware center | 14:45 |
| zeroseven0183 | The Virtualbox that is in the software center does not have USB support. Meaning, you cannot plug and use a USB device on your virtual machine. | 14:50 |
| zeroseven0183 | While on the PUEL, you can do it. It has a feature | 14:50 |
| zeroseven0183 | That's ju | 14:51 |
| zeroseven0183 | That's just one difference | 14:51 |
| zeroseven0183 | Anyway, that's only a suggestion. | 14:52 |
| bihari | ok i need suggestion | 14:54 |
| bihari | i am on Memory size option | 14:54 |
| bihari | and i need to know about how much shud i give for memory | 14:55 |
| zeroseven0183 | How much do you have in total? | 14:57 |
| bihari | 192mb | 14:58 |
| zeroseven0183 | When you create a virtual machine, you'll see there the recommended memory allotment | 14:59 |
| zeroseven0183 | for example, if you want to run a VM of Windows XP, the recommened is 768MB | 14:59 |
| zeroseven0183 | for Linux, I think it's 512MB | 14:59 |
| zeroseven0183 | But if you have enough, you can set a higher number | 14:59 |
| zeroseven0183 | Hmm... 192MB? | 15:00 |
| zeroseven0183 | That's your total memory on your hardware? | 15:00 |
| bihari | i dont know how to check ? | 15:03 |
| bihari | you know how to check total memory hardware? | 15:04 |
| zeroseven0183 | Click System > Administration, then select System Monitor | 15:04 |
| zeroseven0183 | on the System tab, you'll see there the Memory under the Hardware section | 15:05 |
| zeroseven0183 | Mind you, it won't reflect the exact memory you have. I have 4GB installed, but I only see 3.8GB | 15:06 |
| bihari | in System status i can see Available disk space:427.2 Gib | 15:06 |
| bihari | yes i have 2 gb | 15:06 |
| bihari | but it shows diffrent data | 15:06 |
| zeroseven0183 | Alright. You have 2GB | 15:07 |
| zeroseven0183 | Now, the allotment of memory would depend on what operating system and applications are you going to use on the VM (virtual machine) | 15:07 |
| bihari | humm windows XP | 15:08 |
| zeroseven0183 | By the way, the "Available disk space 427GB" is your hard drive | 15:08 |
| zeroseven0183 | Alright, if you're going to install Windows XP | 15:08 |
| zeroseven0183 | What applications you plan to use there? | 15:08 |
| zeroseven0183 | because running VM will reduce the performance of your laptop | 15:09 |
| bihari | i have desktop | 15:09 |
| zeroseven0183 | sorry.. desktop | 15:09 |
| zeroseven0183 | If you want to be comfortable with Windows XP, then you can assign 1GB | 15:10 |
| bihari | ok | 15:10 |
| zeroseven0183 | Good. Then you're on your way to running two operating systems on one machine | 15:12 |
| serfus | zeroseven0183, you make it sound so exciting :P | 15:16 |
| zeroseven0183 | @serfus because IT is never boring :-) | 15:18 |
| bihari | IT is full of wonders and magic ;) | 15:19 |
| zeroseven0183 | I hope to see you guys later. I'm going offline for now | 15:21 |
| zeroseven0183 | Have an Ubuntu-filled weekend! | 15:22 |
| bihari | i have 2 gb in which i have install ubuntu and now i wants to make vbox and it asking for space so how much shud i assign space ? | 15:32 |

| Ayumu | ? | 16:25 |
| Ayumu | Hi | 16:25 |
| hobgoblin | hi | 16:26 |
| Ayumu | I have a laptop, hdd partitioned to c and d drive. vistaids is on C drive, I plan on installing ubuntu on D drive. I assume I am going to lose data on D drive? | 16:27 |
| hobgoblin | yes - make sure you backup all you need - or you can resize the drive and install in the spare space - if there is enough room | 16:36 |
| Ayumu | There is definitely enough space in d drive. | 16:39 |
| Ayumu | Will I be able to preserve my data? | 16:40 |
| hobgoblin | you can shrink the drive in the installer which will leave the data alone - more or less - then you can use the space that is created to install into | 16:45 |
| hobgoblin | it is always advisable to have backups anyway - more so if you are going to be editing partitions which is what you will be doing | 16:46 |
| hobgoblin | I'll say that again so you know I mean it - make sure you have backups ... | 16:46 |
| hobgoblin | Ayumu: I'll get some links that will show more | 16:47 |
| Ayumu | I always back up | 16:47 |
| Ayumu | But its nice not to have to restore | 16:47 |
| hobgoblin | This is what you will be doing - "Select Guided – resize. In the New partition size area, drag the area between the two partitions to create your desired partition sizes." | 16:48 |
| hobgoblin | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall | 16:48 |
| hobgoblin | absolutely agree with you - but you never know - you might lose power in the middle of the partitioner doing it's thing. | 16:49 |
| hobgoblin | It can take a while to do if there is a lot of data as it needs to move it about - alos make sure you;ve defragged the win drive that you are going to be installing on. | 16:49 |
| Ayumu | So the installer will create a 3rd drive? | 16:50 |
| hobgoblin | One more thing - sometimes it looks like the partitioner has hung - don't be fooled and turn it off. I've had to recover from that scenarion | 16:50 |
| Ayumu | 3rd partition. | 16:51 |
| hobgoblin | the installer will create an extended and then 2 logicals - one for the install and one for swap | 16:51 |
| hobgoblin | or it will want to | 16:51 |
| Ayumu | So I have C and D drive, the installer will install to D and create an E drive, or create an E and F drive? | 16:53 |
| hobgoblin | linux calls drive much diffrent things - drive one will be sda drive 2 sdb etc - partition one on drive one will be sda1, partition 2 - sda2 etc | 16:55 |
| hobgoblin | logicals always start at 5 - so it will likely create and extended and call it sda3 and then 2 logicals - sda5 and sda6 | 16:56 |
| Ayumu | I will just wing it and hope for the best. | 16:58 |

| abhinav | hello I am getting problem to boot ubuntu 10.04. I get this: http://i35.tinypic.com/t0hxtz.jpg Any solutions to this. :) | 16:58 |
| hobgoblin | Ayumu: it's not as bad as it seems - you can get online with the livecd assuming you connect with ethernet rather than wireless | 16:58 |
| Ayumu | My router | 16:59 |
| paultag | +1 hobgoblin, damn fine catch. I was confused for a sec | 16:59 |
| Ayumu | doesnt really have spare ports for lan cables | 16:59 |
| hobgoblin | Ayumu: so if necessary you can get here while doing the install - which I wish I had known about 4 years ago lol | 16:59 |
| hobgoblin | well you might get on with wireless | 16:59 |
| Ayumu | Do I need to install firefox again in linux? | 16:59 |
| hobgoblin | paultag: which catch | 17:00 |
| hobgoblin | Ayumu: it's default in ubuntu | 17:00 |
| Ayumu | aha | 17:00 |
| abhinav | anyone? | 17:01 |
| hobgoblin | abhinav: tried booting recovery and then resume from that menu? | 17:04 |
| hobgoblin | is a guess - and a quick one as I am out in 5 | 17:05 |
| abhinav | hobgoblin: that is the recovery boot screenshot! | 17:05 |

| philinux | Cant get my headset mic working. Tried everything | 20:14 |
| squaregoldfish | Only thing I can think to suggest is to make sure you've un-muted your mic channel, as well as setting the level. If you haven't already, of course :) | 20:18 |
