[18:46] <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]
[18:47] <KenN_> problem is cross browser, cross mail client
[18:48] <starcraftman> hi KenN_ :)
[18:49] <starcraftman> what'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 ago
[18:49] <KenN_> it seems like it drops the connection, and then reconnects...?
[18:50] <KenN_> driving me nuts, every tab I open, I have to wait for 20 seconds for anything to happen at all
[19:15] <KenN_> well, I can't figure it out, everything is OK, accept that it doesnt work

[22:52] <Codehead> anyone familiar with installing ubunto on older HP desktops?
[22:54] <Codehead> how about booting ubuntu from a thumb-drive?
[22:55] <rodemire> i boot ubuntu from a flash drive on occassion. u want help?
[22:58] <Codehead> i am trying to install ubuntu on an older HP destop
[22:58] <Codehead> i downloaded it to my Mac and burned it to a cd
[22:58] <rodemire> How old are you talking about? Specs?
[22:59] <Codehead> 2 years old intel 4 pentium
[22:59] <rodemire> RAM, HDD?
[23:00] <Codehead> the hp will boot off the cd, but the installation fails midway through
[23:00] <Codehead> ram is 4 gb hdd 100gb
[23:01] <Codehead> the hp won't boot off the flash drive
[23:01] <rodemire> 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] <Codehead> boot menu doesn't have an option for usb boot
[23:01] <aveilleux> Codehead: What system did you use to create the bootable Flash drive?
[23:02] <Codehead> mac
[23:02] <Codehead> osx
[23:02] <aveilleux> Codehead: That's not what I asked. What software did you use?
[23:02] <Codehead> latestest distro
[23:03] <aveilleux> Codehead: ....UNetBootIn? What program did you use to /create the bootable USB drive/?
[23:03] <Codehead> idk...whatever comes with a mac
[23:03] <aveilleux> Codehead: So, Disk Utility
[23:03] <Codehead> ya
[23:03] <aveilleux> Codehead: Which won't work because Disk Utility can't properly make bootable USB drives
[23:03] <Codehead> ahhhhh
[23:04] <Codehead> suggestions?
[23:05] <aveilleux> Codehead: If you have access to a Windows or Linux machine, you can try UNetBootIn
[23:05] <aveilleux> 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] <Codehead> 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] <aveilleux> Codehead: I have no idea what that sentence means. Could you rephrase?
[23:09] <stlsaint> Codehead: boot to the livecd and from there create your bootable usb
[23:10] <Codehead> how do i using what utility saint?
[23:10] <aveilleux> Codehead: Boot into the Ubuntu LiveCD. Open Terminal, type "sudo apt-get install unetbootin". Then run the command "unetbootin"
[23:11] <aveilleux> Codehead: Sorry, I mean "gksudo unetbootin"
[23:11] <aveilleux> 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] <rodemire> 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] <aveilleux> redemire: That creates a Lice USB image, IIRC, which is not what Codehead wants
[23:12] <aveilleux> Live*
[23:13] <rodemire> aveilleux, yes, and he can then install from the USB.
[23:13] <aveilleux> 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] <Codehead> kk..thx guys...ima go try this...bbl
[23:22] <arifovic> Anyone can help me about blank screen while booting?
[23:22] <stlsaint> arifovic: have you recently done any updates
[23:23] <arifovic> stlsaint: yes.
[23:25] <stlsaint> arifovic: and now you are no longer able to get into your desktop
[23:27] <arifovic> stlsaint: it only happens occasionally. I usually just straight punch the power button to turn it off
[23:31] <aveilleux> arifovic: Do you get little red lines at the top of your screen?
[23:33] <arifovic> aveilleux: no, just sign "_" which stops blinking
[23:37] <aveilleux> arifovic: Ah, I see... I was wondering if you had a similar problem to me, but I guess not
[23:50] <arifovic> aveilleux: so, what can I do?
[23:51] <aveilleux> I don't now, X isn't my strong point
[23:53] <duanedesign> arifovic: so you are able to boot up sometimes
[23:54] <arifovic> duanedesign: hahaha..that's not a solution.
[23:55] <duanedesign> arifovic: sorry was supposed to be a quesstion mark at the end of that
[23:56] <duanedesign> arifovic: if you can get to a terminal or command prompt I would run these commands:
[23:56] <duanedesign> sudo dpkg --configure -a
[23:56] <duanedesign> sudo apt-get install -f
[23:56] <duanedesign> sudo apt-get update; sudo apt get upgrade
[23:58] <arifovic> duanedesign: that's command for what?
[23:58] <aveilleux> arifovic: It reconfigures everything and fixes dependencies
[23:59] <aveilleux> arifovic: It's basically a basic quick fixall command
[23:59] <arifovic> aveilleux: everything?
