[18:49] when I look at my connections, under the wireless tab, it shows my router, but it often sais: last used, x minutes ago [18:49] it seems like it drops the connection, and then reconnects...? [18:50] driving me nuts, every tab I open, I have to wait for 20 seconds for anything to happen at all [19:15] well, I can't figure it out, everything is OK, accept that it doesnt work [22:33] Anybody help me apply emerald themes? I downloaded some and I guess I just don't know what the heck I'm doing... [22:34] . [22:52] test [22:52] anyone familiar with installing ubunto on older HP desktops? [22:54] how about booting ubuntu from a thumb-drive? [22:55] i boot ubuntu from a flash drive on occassion. u want help? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [22:58] i am trying to install ubuntu on an older HP destop [22:58] i downloaded it to my Mac and burned it to a cd [22:58] How old are you talking about? Specs? [22:59] 2 years old intel 4 pentium [22:59] RAM, HDD? [23:00] the hp will boot off the cd, but the installation fails midway through [23:00] ram is 4 gb hdd 100gb [23:01] the hp won't boot off the flash drive [23:01] Codehead: With those specs it should run ALL ubuntu distros. Probably something wrong during the installation process At what point does it fail? [23:01] boot menu doesn't have an option for usb boot [23:01] Codehead: What system did you use to create the bootable Flash drive? [23:02] mac [23:02] osx [23:02] Codehead: That's not what I asked. What software did you use? [23:02] latestest distro === dumbstupidhuman is now known as jpg [23:03] Codehead: ....UNetBootIn? What program did you use to /create the bootable USB drive/? [23:03] idk...whatever comes with a mac [23:03] Codehead: So, Disk Utility [23:03] ya [23:03] Codehead: Which won't work because Disk Utility can't properly make bootable USB drives [23:03] ahhhhh [23:04] suggestions? [23:05] Codehead: If you have access to a Windows or Linux machine, you can try UNetBootIn [23:05] Codehead: 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) [23:08] kk...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] Codehead: I have no idea what that sentence means. Could you rephrase? [23:09] Codehead: boot to the livecd and from there create your bootable usb [23:10] how do i using what utility saint? [23:10] Codehead: Boot into the Ubuntu LiveCD. Open Terminal, type "sudo apt-get install unetbootin". Then run the command "unetbootin" [23:11] Codehead: Sorry, I mean "gksudo unetbootin" [23:11] Codehead: 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. [23:12] Codehead: 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 creator [23:12] redemire: That creates a Lice USB image, IIRC, which is not what Codehead wants [23:12] Live* [23:13] aveilleux, yes, and he can then install from the USB. [23:13] redemire: 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. [23:15] kk..thx guys...ima go try this...bbl [23:22] Anyone can help me about blank screen while booting? [23:22] arifovic: have you recently done any updates [23:23] stlsaint: yes. [23:25] arifovic: and now you are no longer able to get into your desktop [23:27] stlsaint: it only happens occasionally. I usually just straight punch the power button to turn it off [23:31] arifovic: Do you get little red lines at the top of your screen? [23:33] aveilleux: no, just sign "_" which stops blinking [23:37] arifovic: Ah, I see... I was wondering if you had a similar problem to me, but I guess not [23:50] aveilleux: so, what can I do? [23:51] I don't now, X isn't my strong point [23:53] arifovic: so you are able to boot up sometimes [23:54] duanedesign: hahaha..that's not a solution. [23:55] arifovic: sorry was supposed to be a quesstion mark at the end of that [23:56] arifovic: if you can get to a terminal or command prompt I would run these commands: [23:56] sudo dpkg --configure -a [23:56] sudo apt-get install -f [23:56] sudo apt-get update; sudo apt get upgrade [23:58] duanedesign: that's command for what? [23:58] arifovic: It reconfigures everything and fixes dependencies [23:59] arifovic: It's basically a basic quick fixall command [23:59] aveilleux: everything?
