If this was downloaded or copied form an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run. For more details, read about the executable bit. [02:48] so what should i do? [03:07] also another file that i downloaded won't extract... and the error says... No suitable archive manager found. [03:09] ugh where is fusionX when you need him === `mOOse` is now known as Guest60942 === Guest60942 is now known as m00se === Anom01y is now known as lsemple [06:49] btw Hydrozii did u get minecraft to run in offline mode? [07:27] I did the lastest update to linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic and then I can no longer get to xubuntu, it loads up a grub gnu bootloader shell thing, I don't know what to do at this point, all i did was update :( === lsemple is now known as Anom01y [08:04] Aemaeth: any messages before loading the shell? [08:11] no :( [08:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/503732/ this is what i see, i just rebooted after doing the livecd grub fix and same screen [08:14] my solutions looks like is going to be "Never update" and i'm slowly accepting that fact. but this seems to be the only machine having this problem :( [08:16] maybe when they update the live cd/install cd to the .25 generic pae, it will install like that (i hope) but for now i think i should cut my losses and stick with .21 [08:18] seemed to have a problem installing grub to /dev/sda if that helps any, had to install to /dev/sda1, BUT the original install did not have this problem, faulty memory maybe? [08:37] onto my 3rd install round! wish me luck? [08:38] i've learned my lesson, ignore red numbers with exclamation points, they bring trouble [08:40] it says i'm erasing ubuntu, is that what happened? [10:27] 'sup guys [10:27] i've got just a little bit of trouble with the xubuntu 10.04 desktop amd64 disc. [10:27] namely, the damned thing's useless. sha256 checks out, i've tried multiple CDs and at multiple speeds, even a USB stick via unetbootin [10:28] official ubuntu CDs start just fine [10:28] as do other livecds i've burned [10:28] this livecd, however, refuses under any circumstances to boot, inf act my computer acts like it's not even there. has anyone had this problem? [11:10] * MidnightCommando for nick in #channel, do poke $nick, done [13:24] trying to install 10.04 in a school lab with pentium4s and 200MB i noticed install times over 2hours. The lab has 64Kbs isdn connection so i guess it must bandwidth issue. can i do a cdrom only install? [13:26] I believe so yes, but you still need to update it [13:26] psycho_oreos: i could use apt-cache for the update procude. [13:27] oooh, activity [13:27] chomwitt, yeah but I'm not sure whether or not you still need the signing keys or you'll need to manually add your own [13:28] MidnightCommando, what's your computer spec? [13:28] i am attempting to run 10.04 amd64 desktop as a livecd ... alas my livecds fail to boot, and making the xubuntu iso into a liveusb also failed. suggestions? i can't believe the release team would put out a broken release, because someone would have noticed... obviously i'm doing something wrong. can has halp? [13:29] more specifically what is the CPU [13:29] psycho_oreos: amd athlon64+ x2 ... gigabyte motherboard with latest BIOS flash, pioneer dvr-118 on EIDE, one harddrive (320G) for /, /boot, and swap, one 1.5TB drive for /home, both on internal SATA [13:30] oh and the MBR of the system drive is trashed so i've been using a boot floppy for a month or three. >_> [13:30] psycho_oreos: thanks [13:30] (tl;dr no i am not runnning 64-bit code on a 32-bit cpu, if that's what you're thinking) [13:31] did you do the md5 check on the iso? [13:31] no. i did sha256 [13:31] which checked out. [13:31] k [13:32] MidnightCommando, no, but are you sure that your computer can boot usb? I have amd x2 sitting right next to me with msi mobo and there's no bios updates to make it boot usb [13:32] why not give the i386 version a try? [13:32] psycho_oreos: absolutely sure, the BIOS Boot Priority Selection explicitly lists USB devices [13:32] psycho_oreos: because i need to chroot into a 64-bit environment. [13:32] i'm pulling a bit of a rescue mission. [13:33] i'd use the disc i'm on atm (kubuntu 7.10 amd64) for it, but it doesn't have ext4 which is a HUGE problem [13:38] hrm psycho_oreos is it possible that one of the mirroring sites holds a corrupt verstion of the iso? [13:38] because i did kind of grab the file from the internode mirror. over ftp. [13:40] unlikely but possible [13:42] meh [13:42] an md5 collision is extremely improbable for mere corruption, and the md5s match up to another server (ftp.ubuntu.com) [13:43] this is puzzling [13:44] if the iso checks out it might be a bad burn - tried the cd chesk? [13:44] or check even? [13:46] moetunes: cd check would work if i got to ISOLINUX [13:46] i don't [13:46] i don't know if it's possible to checksum a cd against a file? [13:47] (also, the cd burn being at fault is not really likely given the liveUSB attempt failed spectacularly) [13:48] you don't even get to the cd's menu? [13:49] moetunes: "computer acts like it's not even there" as i described earlier [13:49] i still can't think of a better way to put it [13:49] :( [13:50] MidnightCommando: if the cd will work in another comp you might have h/ware issues... [13:51] precluded again by the liveUSB booting as far as the unetbootin loader and then failing [13:52] and the fact that other CDs boot without issue [13:53] ofc - I should pay more attention [13:53] oh and by the way [13:53] i don't know if i'm showing any attitude atm, i find it difficult to discern at the best of times :P but if so, i do apologise. [13:54] it's all fine :] [13:54] I'm watching a movie here atm so my attention is split [13:59] i think i'm going to attempt another boot run in case it's just One Of Those Gremlins [13:59] at this point i don't want to download another livecd [13:59] good luck :] [13:59] so, thanks everyone, i'll brb - just need to detach and reboot. [14:09] wish i could say i had better luck [14:10] bummer [14:11] now have to wait an hour for off-peak so i can go grab an iso of linux-mint-xfce or something [14:11] i'm starting to suspect xubuntu jsut doesn't like me as much as it used to [14:12] (i had 7.10 when i was doing my first gentoo install a while back, it was /flawless/ on this hardware) [14:13] thanks kindly for all your help, guys! much appreciated :) [14:13] * MidnightCommando exit stage left [16:43] hi, when I close a terminal window (or type exit) the program gets stuck. If I try to kill it it just gets defunct but the process never dies. does anyone know what could cause this? btw I have several more issues but I don't know if they are connected. [16:59] , the terminal window itself gets stuck? [17:05] yes [17:05] I then get the message "This window might be busy and is not responding.Do you want to terminate the application?" [17:10] Hmm, I haven't seen that one -- I'll have to search around a bit. Have you checked the ubuntu forum site yet? [17:13] eeffoc, sorry, I didn't. I'll try that [17:13] I wish I was more help! Sorry >_< Does the message allow you to select 'yes' or 'no', thus terminating the terminal successfully, or does it still hang? [17:15] It isn't a full screen terminal, is it? [17:16] the message does allow me that, and it isn't full screen. And thank you [17:19] wbadger: you could try using strace to see what the program is doing [17:20] TheSheep, I tried. I saw nothing special, it ended with "exit_group(127) = ?" [17:21] i installed 10.04 in a virtual machine with no network atall and i see that it has the same packages. So why in the installation a slow connection can make the installation so slow? [17:22] chomwitt: maybe it checks for updates? [17:26] A slow connection means it will still download some of the packages. No connection means it will not even attempt the downloads [17:26] TheSheep: is there a debug way to see what installer is doing? [17:27] chomwitt: there is the install log [17:29] i installed over 10 pc last week in two school labs in greece. except for the installation delay in the slow internet case i also noted that the first time i boot the system is very slow.. when i reboot its ok!. It sounds strange, but the same happend now in my virtual xubuntu!! [17:30] nevertheless in the one lab everything is ok now. Xubuntu saw ok an old msi p4 mobo , sound ok ,microphone ok,web cam ok ,scanner ok! So a great thanks to xubuntu and foss! [17:31] TheSheep: i'll try to find the install log. thanks! [17:31] chomwitt: /var/log/installer [17:47] Anyone know how to make the panel STAY? I can use ALT [17:47] errr. ALT + F2 and run XFCE4-Panel === jcfp is now known as Guest81041 === Guest81041 is now known as jcfp` === You're now known as ubuntulog [19:48] hello, i just tried to install qtcreator on a fresh install of xubuntu lucid lynx. qtdesigner works, qtdemos works, but qtcreator takes one whole cpu-core for ~1min, a window pops up and closes immediatly. no error messages. [19:49] any idea what might cause this? [19:50] i tested it on my "default" xubuntu system, same behaviour [20:16] hagg: start it in terminal and see if it gives error messages [20:17] no error messages, tried it already in a terminal [20:17] window opens, closes immediatly, and the shell-prompt shows (process exited, i guess) [20:18] does it have -v or something verbose? [20:20] no, just a parameter for version according to manpage and --help output [20:21] wait a moment, i am going to strace it [20:25] http://codepad.org/oATSUYqK <- latest 42 lines of strace output [20:26] you should propably file a bug === `mOOse` is now known as Guest85259 === Guest85259 is now known as m00se
