KenN_hi, I'm having problems with my wireless connection, there's a significant lag between me clicking on an url, and it actually starting to open [same is for email, I have to wait for up to 20-30 seconds after clicking and it actually getting some mail]18:46
KenN_problem is cross browser, cross mail client18:47
starcraftmanhi KenN_ :)18:48
starcraftmanwhat's the router/modem model?18:49
KenN_when I look at my connections, under the wireless tab, it shows my router, but it often sais: last used, x minutes ago18:49
KenN_it seems like it drops the connection, and then reconnects...?18:49
KenN_driving me nuts, every tab I open, I have to wait for 20 seconds for anything to happen at all18:50
KenN_well, I can't figure it out, everything is OK, accept that it doesnt work19:15

Codeheadi am trying to install ubuntu on an older HP destop22:58
Codeheadi downloaded it to my Mac and burned it to a cd22:58
rodemireHow old are you talking about? Specs?22:58
Codehead2 years old intel 4 pentium22:59
rodemireRAM, HDD?22:59
Codeheadthe hp will boot off the cd, but the installation fails midway through23:00
Codeheadram is 4 gb hdd 100gb23:00
Codeheadthe hp won't boot off the flash drive23:01
rodemireCodehead: With those specs it should run ALL ubuntu distros. Probably something wrong during the installation process At what point does it fail?23:01
Codeheadboot menu doesn't have an option for usb boot23:01
aveilleuxCodehead: What system did you use to create the bootable Flash drive?23:01
Codeheadmac23:02
Codeheadosx23:02
aveilleuxCodehead: That's not what I asked. What software did you use?23:02
Codeheadlatestest distro23:02

aveilleuxCodehead: ....UNetBootIn? What program did you use to /create the bootable USB drive/?23:03
Codeheadidk...whatever comes with a mac23:03
aveilleuxCodehead: So, Disk Utility23:03
Codeheadya23:03
aveilleuxCodehead: Which won't work because Disk Utility can't properly make bootable USB drives23:03
Codeheadahhhhh23:03
Codeheadsuggestions?23:04
aveilleuxCodehead: If you have access to a Windows or Linux machine, you can try UNetBootIn23:05
aveilleuxCodehead: As far as I'm aware, there aren't any utilities on a Mac for creating a bootable USB drive (other than the OSX install disc)23:05
Codeheadkk...so i boot my hp off the ubuntu cd, then copy the download to the hp, then run unetbootin to create a bootable flash?23:08
aveilleuxCodehead: I have no idea what that sentence means. Could you rephrase?23:08
stlsaintCodehead: boot to the livecd and from there create your bootable usb23:09
Codeheadhow do i using what utility saint?23:10
aveilleuxCodehead: Boot into the Ubuntu LiveCD. Open Terminal, type "sudo apt-get install unetbootin". Then run the command "unetbootin"23:10
aveilleuxCodehead: Sorry, I mean "gksudo unetbootin"23:11
aveilleuxCodehead: When asked to select the type of installation, hit the first radi button ("Distribution") and select Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop. Select the USB drive and hit OK.23:11
rodemireCodehead: I think like stlsaint mentioned, it would be easier to boot into the Live CD and create the LIVE USB from there. (System\Administration\Startup Disk creator23:12
aveilleuxredemire: That creates a Lice USB image, IIRC, which is not what Codehead wants23:12
aveilleuxLive*23:12
rodemireaveilleux, yes, and he can then install from the USB.23:13
aveilleuxredemire: N-no, I mean it installs the full system on the USB. Not the LiveCD. "Live USB" means it's a fully-functioning system. ie. not the install disc.23:13
Codeheadkk..thx guys...ima go try this...bbl23:15
arifovicAnyone can help me about blank screen while booting?23:22
stlsaintarifovic: have you recently done any updates23:22
arifovicstlsaint: yes.23:23
stlsaintarifovic: and now you are no longer able to get into your desktop23:25
arifovicstlsaint: it only happens occasionally. I usually just straight punch the power button to turn it off23:27
aveilleuxarifovic: Do you get little red lines at the top of your screen?23:31
arifovicaveilleux: no, just sign "_" which stops blinking23:33
aveilleuxarifovic: Ah, I see... I was wondering if you had a similar problem to me, but I guess not23:37
arifovicaveilleux: so, what can I do?23:50
aveilleuxI don't now, X isn't my strong point23:51
duanedesignarifovic: so you are able to boot up sometimes23:53
arifovicduanedesign: hahaha..that's not a solution.23:54
duanedesignarifovic: sorry was supposed to be a quesstion mark at the end of that23:55
duanedesignarifovic: if you can get to a terminal or command prompt I would run these commands:23:56
duanedesignsudo dpkg --configure -a23:56
duanedesignsudo apt-get install -f23:56
duanedesignsudo apt-get update; sudo apt get upgrade23:56
arifovicduanedesign: that's command for what?23:58
aveilleuxarifovic: It reconfigures everything and fixes dependencies23:58
aveilleuxarifovic: It's basically a basic quick fixall command23:59
arifovicaveilleux: everything?23:59
