| lubatic | Wow.. Chromium installed by default? Awesome! | 07:11 |
| hblount | hi. someone told be lubuntu is the same thing as ubuntu but less bloat...i am trying to get more software with synaptic package manager, but in lubuntu it doesnt have all the things i can get with ubuntu. can i still get all the same software/apps that i've gotten for ubuntu before with my newly installed lubuntu? | 08:03 |
| bioterror | you should get | 08:04 |
| bioterror | same repositories | 08:04 |
| bioterror | what are you missing? | 08:04 |
| hblount | i want to get apps like open office and games and such...i remember in ubuntu i open software manager thing and i can choose from almost everything available for linux | 08:05 |
| hblount | so "synaptic package manager" is where i get new software right? | 08:06 |
| bioterror | !terminal | 08:06 |
| ubot5 | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 08:06 |
| bioterror | !apt | 08:06 |
| ubot5 | APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE) | 08:06 |
| hblount | yeah...i should start figuring that out. sorry i'm pretty noob to linux.used to windows.i just liked that thing on ubuntu that shows apps/games,description,rating,and little picture.... | 08:08 |
| bioterror | yeah | 08:09 |
| bioterror | it's userfriendly | 08:09 |
| bioterror | but lubuntu has all the same packages as ubuntu has | 08:09 |
| JoeMaverickSett | hblount: don't worry, if you encounter some problem drop in here for lubuntu specific.for ubuntu try #ubuntu channel. ;) | 08:10 |
| hblount | so "synaptic package manager" is what i use right? all i see are packages i already have...it doesnt show other things i can get | 08:11 |
| bioterror | I havent used synaptic much | 08:11 |
| hblount | damn. yeah maybe ppl here use gui even less than in #ubuntu | 08:11 |
| bioterror | well, at least I am | 08:12 |
| bioterror | you can type in terminal | 08:12 |
| hblount | i like lubuntu so far. runs smooth on my acer 1.5ghz celeron M 512MB | 08:12 |
| bioterror | apt-cache search games |more | 08:12 |
| lubatic | How can I make "mailto:" links in Chromium open in Sylpheed? | 08:26 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 08:26 |
| bioterror | prefences -> preferred applications | 08:27 |
| bioterror | there should be sylpheed as a mail client | 08:27 |
| bioterror | if I remember right | 08:27 |
| bioterror | using windows at work now :( | 08:27 |
| JoeMaverickSett | bioterror: how sad. :/ | 08:27 |
| lubatic | It may just be a bug. When I click a link ( example site: http://mc-computing.com/HTML_Examples/MailTo.htm ) it just opens a new web browser window | 08:28 |
| bioterror | that's not a mailto | 08:28 |
| bioterror | :D | 08:28 |
| lubatic | bioterror: Nah, the links on the site :p | 08:30 |
| JoeMaverickSett | lubatic: links such as 'basic email' or 'email with comment' will open sylpheed. | 08:30 |
| lubatic | JoeMaverickSett: Weird. Still doesn't work for me. I'll try a reboot now that I set prefs | 08:31 |
| lubatic | JoeMaverickSett: Weird.. still doesn't work for me. Does it work for you? | 08:33 |
| JoeMaverickSett | lubatic: i don't know. let me try it out. :) | 08:34 |
| bioterror | hmm | 08:34 |
| bioterror | should I take my stick from my bag and reboot one installed machine... :-) | 08:34 |
| JoeMaverickSett | i'll just do it. :) | 08:34 |
| JoeMaverickSett | oh,damn,i don't know how to do that. :/ | 08:36 |
| bioterror | ahh | 08:36 |
| bioterror | just a moment | 08:36 |
| bioterror | I'll boot one machine | 08:36 |
| MonthOLDpickle | hey guys | 08:38 |
| MonthOLDpickle | went back to lubuntu | 08:38 |
| MonthOLDpickle | got sound working | 08:39 |
| MonthOLDpickle | just wish BT wasn't buggy | 08:39 |
| MonthOLDpickle | hello? | 08:42 |
| bioterror | weird | 08:43 |
| bioterror | it really opens a new browser window | 08:43 |
| JoeMaverickSett | :/ | 08:43 |
| MonthOLDpickle | what does? | 08:43 |
| bioterror | just a moment | 08:44 |
| MonthOLDpickle | so? | 08:53 |
| bioterror | lubatic, I think you need to fill a bug raport ;) | 09:00 |
| JoeMaverickSett | yeah, bug report! :P | 09:01 |
| MonthOLDpickle | curious.. | 09:01 |
| MonthOLDpickle | any update on bluetooth support? | 09:01 |
| lubatic | bioterror: I just did. It was awesome | 09:01 |
| bioterror | nice | 09:01 |
| JoeMaverickSett | bioterror: i can't find that option. :/ | 09:01 |
| bioterror | you have contributed :) | 09:01 |
| bioterror | JoeMaverickSett, what option? | 09:01 |
| lubatic | <3 Lubuntu | 09:01 |
| JoeMaverickSett | bioterror: the click on mail-to open slypheed option. | 09:02 |
| bioterror | JoeMaverickSett, well if you have put in the lxde menu -> prefecenes -> preferred applications | 09:02 |
| bioterror | it should work, atleast I think so | 09:02 |
| bioterror | there's something now with chromium | 09:02 |
| JoeMaverickSett | bioterror: ah, will try that. | 09:02 |
| bioterror | didnt work for | 09:02 |
| bioterror | I just booted one laptop with my pendrive-lubuntu <3 | 09:03 |
| bioterror | ;) | 09:03 |
| bioterror | gotta go help one woman with his display problem | 09:03 |
| JoeMaverickSett | one woman = his ? | 09:03 |
| lubatic | niiiice | 09:04 |
| MonthOLDpickle | I want boobs too | 09:05 |
| audio | In 10.04 and 10.10 I change the screen resolution to 800x600 but on next boot it reverts back to 1024x768. How to make it stick at 800x600? | 09:11 |
| audio1 | Hopefully 3rd time lucky. Using pidgin this time - problems with webchat. | 09:34 |
| audio1 | Repeating question after 2nd disconnection. In 10.04 and 10.10 I set the screen resolution to 800x600 but after a reboot it reverts back to 1024x768. How to make it stick at 800x600? | 09:34 |
| bioterror | huh, I'm a bit exhausted | 09:36 |
| bioterror | but you need to make yourself a xorg.conf file | 09:36 |
| bioterror | and say to it to use 800x600 | 09:36 |
| bioterror | it's not really difficult | 09:37 |
| bioterror | easiest way is to press ctrl+alt+f1 | 09:37 |
| bioterror | log in to consoles tty1 | 09:38 |
| bioterror | say "sudo service lxdm stop" (if I remember right) | 09:38 |
| bioterror | and then you can also secure it by saying "sudo init 3" | 09:38 |
| bioterror | then you can say xorg -configure | 09:38 |
| bioterror | and you can copy that your new xorg.conf to /etc/X11/ with a sudo (becouse you need super user rights to edit anything under /etc/) | 09:39 |
| bioterror | then you should remove some resolutions and leave only 800x600 from the configuration file | 09:40 |
| bioterror | after you have edited the xorg.conf file like with "$sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:40 |
| MonthOLDpickle | Hey what is the best way to do a screen capture? | 09:40 |
| bioterror | you can say "sudo init 5" and you should get X11 back | 09:40 |
| bioterror | MonthOLDpickle, alt+f2 and type "scrot shot.png" | 09:41 |
| audio1 | bioterror: that looks really helpful - huge thanks. I'll give it a try. | 09:41 |
| bioterror | or you can press print screen -button on your keyboard | 09:41 |
| bioterror | audio1, come back if you cant solve it by yourself, I can help you out | 09:41 |
| MonthOLDpickle | I did and when into paint but nothing | 09:41 |
| bioterror | MonthOLDpickle, do the scrot! | 09:41 |
| MonthOLDpickle | I tried dunno what it did lol | 09:41 |
| bioterror | with scrot it should put the screenshot file on your root folder | 09:42 |
| bioterror | ~/ | 09:42 |
| audio1 | bioterror: thanks for the offer. | 09:42 |
| MonthOLDpickle | it did | 09:43 |
| MonthOLDpickle | but man this is primitive lol | 09:43 |
| bioterror | what's primitive? | 09:43 |
| MonthOLDpickle | it shows the alt+f2 run command =p | 09:43 |
| MonthOLDpickle | http://i56.tinypic.com/349clzr.png | 09:43 |
| bioterror | hahaha | 09:44 |
| bioterror | maybe my compters have been faster then, becouse I havent got anything like that :D | 09:44 |
| bioterror | http://ricecows.org/hhhtop.png I made that one with alt+f2 and typed scrot | 09:45 |
| MonthOLDpickle | ubuntu's one and fed never got it in =p | 09:47 |
| bioterror | but | 09:47 |
| bioterror | you say that the prntscreen -button didnt work for you? | 09:47 |
| MonthOLDpickle | nope it didn't | 09:48 |
| bioterror | weird | 09:48 |
| MonthOLDpickle | wait it is | 09:48 |
| bioterror | did you check your Pictures -folder? | 09:48 |
| MonthOLDpickle | dur use to windows | 09:48 |
| MonthOLDpickle | it puts htem in root | 09:48 |
| bioterror | yeah | 09:48 |
| bioterror | :-) | 09:49 |
| MonthOLDpickle | dunno what wallpaper to choooossseee | 09:49 |
| bioterror | http://www.wallpapers-free.org/wallpapers/84/Pink_Floyd_-_Dark_Side_of_the_Moon.jpg this ofcourse | 09:49 |
| MonthOLDpickle | I am at wallbase.net | 09:51 |
| bioterror | but let's continue this wallpaper discussion on the #lubuntu-offtop channel | 09:52 |
| MonthOLDpickle | in there lol | 09:55 |
| audio | bioterror: Reporting progress - but have hit a couple of snags. | 10:22 |
| audio | bioterror: I have generated ~/xorg.conf.new but I cannot see any references to screen resolutions in it. So I cannot remove all except 800x600. | 10:22 |
| audio | Also sudo init 5 does not return to the GUI - I had to shutdown -r as I do not know another way. | 10:23 |
| bioterror | okay | 10:26 |
| bioterror | can you paste your new xorg.conf to pastebin or somewhere | 10:26 |
| bioterror | where Ican see it | 10:26 |
| audio | bioterror: OK, please wait | 10:27 |
| audio | bioterror: http://pastebin.ca/1965618 | 10:30 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 10:32 |
| bioterror | kinda odd | 10:32 |
| bioterror | let's take make do it like | 10:34 |
| bioterror | under the screen section | 10:34 |
| bioterror | we have these depths | 10:34 |
| bioterror | I'll edit it for you | 10:35 |
| bioterror | let's have a test | 10:35 |
| bioterror | audio, http://pastebin.com/uhdnU9ZP copy that in your /etc/X11 with name xorg.conf | 10:39 |
| bioterror | if it doesnt work, we can always go back to square one with your working resolution by renaming the file like xorg.conf.bak | 10:39 |
| audio | bioterror: OK, please wait | 10:43 |
| audio | bioterror: I have it now in /etc/X11/xorg.conf how to read it without restarting the machine? | 10:48 |
| audio | Going off-line while I restart... | 10:56 |
| audio | bioterror: Reporting progress - success. After a reboot the screen resolution defaults to 800x600. | 11:02 |
| audio | I see the edit you did and understand for future reference. | 11:03 |
| audio | Just leaves the question of how to return to the X11 GUI after Ctrl+Alt+F1 etc... | 11:05 |
| audio | sudo init 5 did not work. | 11:06 |
| |friTTe| | any good converting program like Soundconverter but without the Gnome dependencies? | 11:21 |
| |friTTe| | or else i might grab that one, got Flac and stuff i wanna make wav | 11:22 |
| |friTTe| | hmm Xfburn seems pretty similar to the kde one, but lighter | 11:28 |
| |friTTe| | love finding equally programs but lighter stuff | 11:29 |
| bioterror | audio, ctrl+alt+f7 ;) | 12:19 |
| audio | bioterror: Yep that works fine - its another thing I've learned today. You've been a great help. Are you open for a couple of other questions? | 13:04 |
| bioterror | ofcourse | 13:05 |
| bioterror | I'm here to help you | 13:05 |
| audio | On the lubuntu web site it mentions that a core package is available for installing only the core lubuntu. Do you know if it is available as an ISO? If so where from? | 13:07 |
| bioterror | what | 13:08 |
| bioterror | now I didnt follow | 13:08 |
| bioterror | can you try to explain a little more | 13:08 |
| audio | I'll go find the site - please wait | 13:09 |
| MikeChelen | anyone have trouble with line wrapping in gedit? can't get rid of the horizontal scrollbar | 13:09 |
| bioterror | MikeChelen, press enter ;) | 13:09 |
| bioterror | it's normal that lines keeps going as longs you keep typing | 13:09 |
| bioterror | gedit is not a word processor, or how you say it | 13:10 |
| bioterror | it's a text editor | 13:10 |
| MikeChelen | bioterror: it is the same line of text (no line breaks) which should be wrapped in the display | 13:10 |
| MikeChelen | bioterror: check out edit -> preferences | 13:11 |
| bioterror | I'm not having any buntus here at work :D | 13:11 |
| MikeChelen | text wrapping is enabled, and "do not split words over lines" is disabled | 13:11 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 13:11 |
| bioterror | how about leafpad?-) | 13:12 |
| szczur | i was going to suggest that | 13:12 |
| bioterror | does it satisfy your needs? | 13:12 |
| MikeChelen | bioterror: easy, just vnc into your home system ;) | 13:12 |
| szczur | to disable the word spitting | 13:12 |
| bioterror | MikeChelen, I could make that kind of settings to my home network | 13:12 |
| MikeChelen | hmm maybe, will try that! main important features are word wrap and syntax highlighting | 13:12 |
| szczur | audio, lubuntu-core package is needed when you're going to install from mini.iso | 13:13 |
| audio | bioterror: http://gilir.wordpress.com/2010/10/10/lubuntu-10-10-is-released Section - New Extra Pacakges - "A new meta-package (lubuntu-core) is available to install only core packages of Lubuntu" | 13:13 |
| szczur | there's no iso with only lubuntu core, but you can installl minimal ubuntu and then install lubuntu-core | 13:13 |
| bioterror | szczur answered | 13:13 |
| bioterror | audio, are you using 10.04? | 13:13 |
| bioterror | !lubuntu | 13:13 |
| ubot5 | lubuntu is a project to create a derivative of Ubuntu using the LXDE desktop environment. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu | 13:13 |
| bioterror | http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/lubuntu-10.10.iso | 13:14 |
| audio | bioterror: both 10.04 and 10.10 | 13:14 |
| audio | I obtained 10/04 and 10.10 from the lubuntu web site 10.04 about six months ago. | 13:15 |
| audio | *10.04 | 13:15 |
| MikeChelen | leafpad looks ok except that there is still a horizontal scrollbar | 13:15 |
| MikeChelen | even with wordwrap enabled | 13:15 |
| audio | szczur: OK thanks for the info. | 13:16 |
| audio | I have read that it is not advisable to try to uninstall Chromium - is this accurate? | 13:18 |
| bioterror | ofcourse you can uninstall it | 13:18 |
| bioterror | but why? | 13:18 |
| audio | a combination of personal dislike and inability to get it to work with m3u files. | 13:19 |
| bioterror | huh :D | 13:19 |
| bioterror | well, you can remove it | 13:19 |
| szczur | bioterror, have you seen my new desktop? :) | 13:20 |
| bioterror | nope | 13:21 |
| szczur | http://szczur.ath.cx/screen3.png < this is what you can do with lxde and tint2+conky :) | 13:21 |
| bioterror | nice | 13:23 |
| bioterror | where's your menubar?-) | 13:23 |
| szczur | i'm using only openbox menu :) | 13:23 |
| szczur | tint2 don't have one | 13:24 |
| bioterror | I assumed so | 13:24 |
| szczur | there was a guy who wanted to know if it is working in lubuntu | 13:24 |
| szczur | so i checked it :> | 13:24 |
| szczur | and now i got rid of lxpanel :) | 13:25 |
| bioterror | well | 13:27 |
| bioterror | not that much of lubuntu left ;) | 13:27 |
| audio | Is Chromium currently able to work use m3u? Particular use for me as output from edna streaming server which is extensively used here. If its just me making configuration mistakes I'll investigate again. | 13:27 |
| audio | Also needs to work with asx/asf | 13:27 |
| szczur | PCManFM+LXSession+LXDM these are still here | 13:27 |
| bioterror | szczur, but still. you could use jut mini.iso, grab openbox, tint2 and use lxdm for logging in ;) | 13:28 |
| szczur | audio, you can try to install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg | 13:28 |
| szczur | bioterror, that what i did :) | 13:28 |
| bioterror | yeah | 13:28 |
| bioterror | ahhh | 13:29 |
| szczur | yet, I still call it lubuntu (LXDE+Ubuntu) :) | 13:29 |
| bioterror | szczur, i luv ya, you use MoC too ;) | 13:29 |
| szczur | ^^ | 13:29 |
| szczur | but there's a problem, in 10.04 the terminal was cleared after pressing q | 13:30 |
| szczur | now it is not | 13:30 |
| szczur | what's more | 13:30 |
| szczur | if i had mocp in separate tab | 13:30 |
| szczur | the tab got closed | 13:30 |
| audio | szczur: thanks for the tip. | 13:30 |
| bioterror | szczur, http://github.com/fluxid/mocp-scrobbler do you use? | 13:31 |
| bioterror | szczur, I can recommend that one | 13:31 |
| szczur | i tried others, didn't knew about this one | 13:32 |
| szczur | i'll try it :) | 13:32 |
| bioterror | works for me | 13:32 |
| bioterror | like a dream | 13:32 |
| szczur | does it need other packages? | 13:34 |
| bioterror | nope | 13:35 |
| bioterror | it just needs python | 13:35 |
| bioterror | I've put placed it under /usr/local/bin and given chmod +x | 13:36 |
| bioterror | and you need to create those couple of files and one folder | 13:36 |
| szczur | yayz | 13:41 |
| szczur | it's working :) | 13:41 |
| szczur | thanks bioterror :) | 13:41 |
| szczur | http://www.lastfm.pl/user/szczur90 :) | 13:42 |
| szczur | my life is complete, now I can die happily :) | 13:43 |
| szczur | audio, does it work now? | 13:45 |
| szczur | i mean chromium+m3u (or any other audio file) of course | 13:45 |
| audio | szczur: Afraid not there is no perceptible change in behaviour. No audio app (GMPlayer or Aqualung) starts up. I have installed Opera previously and everything works fine with it. | 14:01 |
| szczur | hmmm | 14:02 |
| audio | I'm pretty certain I could make it work with Links web browser if I wanted an ultra light browser interface. | 14:02 |
| audio | ...that is an interface to edna and autoplay via GMPlayer. | 14:04 |
| audio | apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg needed to get 328kB of archives from the repo. apt-get remove chromium-codecs-ffmpeg now wants to remove 60.8MB of files. | 14:19 |
| audio | chromium-browser chromium-browser-inspector chromium-browser-l10n chromium-codecs-ffmpeg lubuntu-desktop | 14:20 |
| bioterror | audio, so you just like to use webbrowers as your music player? | 14:21 |
| bioterror | like interface for the player | 14:21 |
| audio | No - edna is selection accessed via a web interface it is a required way. The music library is on a remote LAN server and is used by multiple users simultaneously. edna is a aver lightweight and efficient way to do it on older machinery. | 14:24 |
| audio | A local audio player is used - GMPlayer is good and lightweight and for me a fine choice. | 14:26 |
| audio | The problem lies with Chromium and it not working with m3u files in the same way as Opera or Links, with GMPlayer. Now having installed a few kb of Chromium codecs to remove them will also remove 60.8MB of files. | 14:29 |
| audio | There seems to be a dependency issue. | 14:30 |
| bioterror | why not use mpd or something like that | 14:30 |
| audio | bioterror: to get the same effect as edna requires MPD to stream via httpd. This is known to use an increasing amount of CPU for each client it serves. The problem does not arise with edna. | 14:32 |
| bioterror | okay | 14:33 |
| bioterror | I'm not that much into these kind of things, but I was asking :-) | 14:33 |
| audio | Happy to share knowledge where I can - you were kind enough to help me earlier. Its simply a small payback. | 14:34 |
| audio | The concerning aspect of removing chromium-codecs-ffmpeg is that it is saying it will also remove lubuntu-desktop | 14:40 |
| bioterror | !lubuntu-desktop | 14:40 |
| bioterror | !ubuntu-desktop | 14:40 |
| ubot5 | k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading. | 14:40 |
| bioterror | ;) | 14:40 |
| audio | bioterror: apt-get definitely states "lubuntu-desktop" will be removed it makes no reference to ubuntu-desktop. I'm confused. | 14:45 |
| bioterror | it's the same thing | 14:45 |
| bioterror | it's a metapackage | 14:45 |
| phillw | audio: item 3 at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/DocumentationHelp | 14:46 |
| phillw | I'll ask that the factoid be updated to include lubuntu. | 14:46 |
| * szczur waves to phillw | 14:46 | |
| phillw | hiyas szczur | 14:47 |
| audio | phillw: OK that make it a bit clearer. | 14:48 |
| phillw | I'll go and stalk nathan later to get the factoid updated. | 14:49 |
| audio | Removing chromium-codecs-ffmpeg also removed Chromium (chromium-browser). Seems odd that a separately installed package cannot be removed without also removing the package that uses it. | 14:53 |
| MikeChelen | is it possible to resize mouse pointer? | 15:38 |
| bioterror | with mouse theme? | 15:40 |
| nicoo | hey every one | 15:49 |
| bioterror | hi | 15:50 |
| nicoo | woundering if some one could point me in the right direction on installing tint2 | 15:50 |
| MikeChelen | bioterror: is that the same as preferences -> appearance? | 15:50 |
| nicoo | no | 15:51 |
| bioterror | mike, could be, im in a train and using phone | 15:51 |

| nicoo | you in a train were+ | 15:52 |
| nicoo | @bio thanks lets see if it will work. | 15:52 |
| meetingology | nicoo: Error: "bio" is not a valid command. | 15:52 |
| bioterror | szczur installed tint2 just a moment ago | 15:52 |
| nicoo | szcur is who i was talking to last week | 15:53 |
| bioterror | he can help you out | 15:53 |

| szczur | you have downloaded it? | 16:07 |
| szczur | so go to thi sfolder | 16:07 |
| szczur | and run svn up | 16:07 |
| szczur | just for getting sure that we have latest revision | 16:07 |
| nicoo | threw term? | 16:07 |
| audio | Is there a location in which I can place a file in that gets run during each boot-up. I want to mount some network shares using cifs. I know Gigolo is available to do it as a GUI app but I would like to know how to do it the "old fashioned" way. | 16:08 |
| szczur | yup, run terminal | 16:08 |
| szczur | cd to folder where the files are located | 16:08 |
| szczur | and run svn up | 16:08 |
| nicoo | says skiped | 16:10 |
| szczur | are you in folder where files are located? | 16:10 |
| nicoo | yes | 16:10 |
| szczur | ls | 16:11 |
| nicoo | ls i did | 16:11 |
| szczur | what it gives you | 16:11 |
| nicoo | alot of stuff | 16:11 |
| nicoo | install.txt for one | 16:11 |
| nicoo | basiclly the contents of the folder | 16:11 |
| szczur | ok | 16:12 |
| szczur | mkdir build && cd build | 16:12 |
| szczur | sudo apt-get install cmake build-essential << these packages are needed for compilation | 16:12 |
| szczur | there are more | 16:13 |
| szczur | but we will install them later :) | 16:13 |
| szczur | are you following me? :) | 16:13 |
| nicoo | all good there | 16:13 |
| nicoo | yes | 16:14 |
| nicoo | makeing sure | 16:14 |
| nicoo | it says all updated | 16:14 |
| szczur | so, if you installled these packages | 16:14 |
| szczur | we can make | 16:14 |
| szczur | cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../ | 16:14 |
| szczur | this will run cmake script which create makefiles | 16:14 |
| szczur | it will promt for needed packages for sure | 16:15 |
| szczur | please pastebin output everytime it says about error, k? | 16:15 |
| szczur | we don't want to have something broken, right? :) | 16:16 |
| nicoo | yea i already got one | 16:16 |
| szczur | let's start with these packages | 16:16 |
| szczur | sudo apt-get install libcairo2-dev libpango1.0-dev libglib2.0-dev libimlib2-dev libxinerama-dev libx11-dev libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev libxrender-dev libxrandr-dev | 16:17 |
| === |friTTe| is now known as friTTe| | ||
| szczur | then re-run cmake line i wrote earlier | 16:17 |
| szczur | and paste it if it wouldn't finish correctly | 16:17 |
| szczur | ping me when you're done | 16:18 |
| audio | Is there somewhere I can specify commands to run as root during boot-up? | 16:21 |
| audio | I want to mount some network shares via cifs. | 16:21 |
| szczur | audio, add these commands to /etc/rc.local | 16:21 |
| audio | szczur: thanks. | 16:21 |
| szczur | audio, if you want to use fstab please take a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=288534 | 16:22 |
| audio | szczur: does /etc/rclocal require sudo or does it automatically have root privileges? | 16:23 |
| audio | *rc.local | 16:23 |
| szczur | it runs with root priviledges | 16:23 |
| audio | thanks | 16:23 |
| szczur | sudo wouldn'r make sense because it needs to have password entered | 16:24 |
| szczur | you wouldn't be propted to enter it | 16:24 |

| nykur | Hello there! Is anybody else having automatic file system checks at every boot? | 18:23 |
| mark76 | Every boot? | 18:24 |
| bioterror | not every | 18:24 |
| mark76 | God, that sounds annoying | 18:24 |
| bioterror | every once a while | 18:24 |
| mark76 | Oh yeah | 18:25 |
| mark76 | Still annoying though | 18:25 |
| mark76 | It's a system thing | 18:25 |
| bioterror | nykur, do you shutdown the OS properly? | 18:25 |
| mark76 | You can't change it | 18:25 |
| bioterror | usually it does fsck if you dont do a graceful shutdown | 18:25 |
| nykur | I shut it down properly, it happens both in lxde and openbox | 18:27 |
| nykur | every single boot, started after a recent update. have backports and proposed enabled | 18:27 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 18:28 |
| bioterror | usually fsck might say "check not needed" | 18:28 |
| nykur | nope, just offers me to cancel it by pressing C, never shows any errors though | 18:29 |
| nykur | I wonder if this is a grub thing? | 18:29 |
| bioterror | I think it's in fstab | 18:29 |
| nykur | once after a fsck I got returned to grub to chose kernel, but has only happened once | 18:30 |
| bioterror | doesnt sound right | 18:30 |
| nykur | yeah, but strange, as i haven't altered fstab at all | 18:30 |
| nykur | update might have i guess | 18:31 |
| nykur | I'll have a look at fstab, was just wondering if anybody had had this happen, as I've seen no bugs regarding this | 18:32 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 18:32 |
| andriii | Hello. Im having major issues, is there anybody here who could help me out? | 18:32 |
| bioterror | andriii, tell us | 18:32 |
| bioterror | nykur | 18:34 |
| andriii | So I installed Lubuntu already having Win7 on my computer. Everything worked fine etc but GRUB didnt show Win7 in the loader. So I used chmod or something (had some help) to give myself write permission on grub.cfg and manually added a menuentry. However, I didnt make the entry boot the correct partition and after that GRUB doesnt give me any menu at all, just blank screen. | 18:35 |
| bioterror | # / was on /dev/sda5 during installation | 18:35 |
| bioterror | UUID=485d0f32-253f-4d59-9379-620cda58f938 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1 | 18:35 |
| bioterror | looks something like that | 18:35 |
| bioterror | andriii, oookey | 18:35 |
| andriii | Hehe :/ | 18:35 |
| bioterror | andriii, you should have edited it with a "sudo nano /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 18:36 |
| andriii | Ohh | 18:36 |
| bioterror | if you used terminal | 18:36 |
| andriii | I did, but you see, Im just learning some ubuntu at school and I thought, hey Ill do a serious homework session.. bottomline: I dont know how stuff works. I feel paralyzed using the terminal etc. | 18:37 |
| bioterror | :-) | 18:37 |
| bioterror | okay | 18:37 |
| andriii | So what is there for me to do right now? | 18:37 |
| bioterror | can you put your grub.cfg on pastebin | 18:37 |
| andriii | Yeah. 1 sec. | 18:37 |
| bioterror | (I should be configuring my router atm ;) | 18:37 |
| sulumar | Hello | 18:38 |
| sulumar | I need some help on accessing network storage on lubuntu | 18:38 |
| bioterror | okay | 18:39 |
| bioterror | sulumar, sudo apt-get install gvfs-backends | 18:39 |
| andriii | http://pastebin.com/bbZuF0Lu | 18:39 |
| andriii | I already removed the menuentry though. | 18:40 |
| bioterror | that's not a problem | 18:40 |
| sulumar | thx bioterror, just asking what s that for a package | 18:41 |
| sulumar | ?? | 18:41 |
| bioterror | it's a package that's missing from pcmanfm | 18:41 |
| bioterror | it enables the windows network shares | 18:41 |
| andriii | lol maybe I shouldnt have added the menu entry under ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ### ?? | 18:42 |
| nykur | bioterror, my fstab is similar to yours, except for that I'm using ext2 | 18:42 |
| bioterror | nykur, that's okay | 18:42 |
| bioterror | hmm | 18:43 |
| nykur | and I have a mount point as proc, and options as nodev, noexec and nosuid | 18:43 |
| sulumar | thx works | 18:43 |
| andriii | I guess it would work to reinstall GRUB or what? But I tried following multiple posts on the internet but none of them really worked or looked like if I would do something wrong Id make things far worse. | 18:44 |
| andriii | Im running off of a live cd now. | 18:44 |

| andriii | Im following some guide now, working so far.. | 19:09 |
| andriii | Ill see how it goes >p | 19:09 |
| bioterror | :D | 19:09 |
| bioterror | it's not a rocket science | 19:09 |
| andriii | Well, http://pastebin.com/PgLV08Tt this is to me. | 19:12 |
| andriii | Errorrrr and the it says no errors detected.. HUH?? | 19:12 |
| bioterror | sdc :o | 19:13 |
| andriii | Thats where its installed | 19:13 |
| andriii | sda and b is my storage HDD | 19:14 |
| bioterror | yeah | 19:14 |
| bioterror | my sda changed to sdb today when I added a PATA drive | 19:14 |
| andriii | /dev/sdc5 48593 60300 94033920 83 Linux | 19:15 |
| andriii | I stand correct, dont I? | 19:15 |
| MonthOLDpickle | fffffff | 19:15 |
| andriii | Just want to make sure :3 | 19:15 |
| andriii | Well apparently I should be able to use grub now. If not then the problem isnt Grub.. fantastic.. brb! | 19:16 |
| MonthOLDpickle | bluetoooth WHY YOU | 19:16 |
| andri | Yeah so that didnt work. | 19:26 |
| andri | Maybe I should describe better what Im experiencing? | 19:26 |
| andri | You see, when the menu should load up the only thing I get is a black screen and theres a blinking.. something that blinks when youre typing in. That moves 2 or 3 lines down like somebody pressed enter and then it just stays there forever. | 19:27 |
| andri | menu (GRUB menu) | 19:27 |
| andri | And since Ive followed a guide which SEEMED to be successful but nothing changed, Im semi-assuming that its not a problem with GRUB. | 19:28 |
| bioterror | you get grub menu by pressing shift | 19:29 |
| andri | Really... | 19:29 |
| andri | lolllllllll brb | 19:30 |
| szczur | that was rude :P | 19:30 |
| bioterror | w00t | 19:30 |
| szczur | <andri> Really... < this :P | 19:31 |
| bioterror | as soon as I get one port forward done, I'm going to do the same as andri ;) | 19:31 |
| szczur | :) | 19:31 |
| mark76 | Kancerman is a double agent! :o | 19:31 |
| mark76 | And so am I | 19:33 |
| andri | No go.. :/ | 19:33 |
| MonthOLDpickle | how do I let adobe flash use more memory? | 19:33 |
| andri | Isnt there a way that I can just manually boot into windows and take care of the problem from there? I want my music and my applications.. T_T | 19:34 |
| bioterror | :-) | 19:35 |
| bioterror | you can use that partition from Ubuntu ;) | 19:36 |
| bioterror | but now Im fixing my own grub too | 19:36 |
| andri | I have lubuntu x_x | 19:36 |
| bioterror | yeah | 19:36 |
| andri | Well I suspect it might not be a problem with GRUB, is that possible? | 19:37 |
| bioterror | nope | 19:38 |
| andri | So its definetly GRUB? | 19:38 |
| bioterror | yes, becouse it is missing from there | 19:38 |
| andri | I see | 19:38 |
| andri | Well what I really just want is to boot into windows lol.. so if there are any alternatives :< | 19:38 |
| bioterror | hold your horses | 19:39 |
| andri | So I shall :D | 19:39 |
| szczur | boot to ubuntu, run sudo os-prober | 19:40 |
| andri | /dev/sdc1:Windows 7 (loader):Windows:chain | 19:41 |
| andri | /dev/sdc5:Ubuntu 10.10 (10.10):Ubuntu:linux | 19:41 |
| Mohan_chml | AndrewLee: you had your windows not detected? | 19:42 |
| Mohan_chml | aww andri* | 19:42 |
| andri | Yeah I did, at first. | 19:42 |
| andri | Then when I started messing with the cfg file, everything just went straight to hell. | 19:42 |
| szczur | run sudo update-grub | 19:42 |
| szczur | if it won't help | 19:42 |
| Mohan_chml | szczur: it will | 19:43 |
| szczur | eg. menu still wil not be there | 19:43 |
| andri | /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). | 19:43 |
| szczur | run sudo aptitude reinstall grub-pc grub-common | 19:43 |
| szczur | huh? | 19:43 |
| Mohan_chml | andri: you ran sudo os-prober right? | 19:43 |
| andri | I did | 19:43 |
| szczur | are you chrooted or what? | 19:44 |
| bioterror | priceless | 19:44 |
| Mohan_chml | and now sudo update-grub shows error? | 19:44 |
| bioterror | didnt find windows partition with update-grub ;) | 19:44 |
| szczur | or do you have two ubuntus installed? | 19:44 |
| szczur | at once? | 19:44 |
| andri | I did chroot before when following a guide but I undid all that stuff | 19:44 |
| szczur | or something like that? | 19:44 |
| szczur | wait | 19:44 |
| andri | No I dont have two ubuntus. But Im running off of live cd now. | 19:44 |
| szczur | give me 5 seconds | 19:44 |
| szczur | ok | 19:44 |
| szczur | follow this | 19:45 |
| szczur | http://szczur.ath.cx/Grub%20reinstall.txt | 19:46 |
| szczur | this should work | 19:46 |
| andri | mount: mount point /ubu/proc does not exist | 19:46 |
| szczur | you should mount it to /ubu folder | 19:46 |
| bioterror | haha | 19:46 |
| szczur | i know | 19:46 |
| szczur | create the folder | 19:46 |
| bioterror | andri, why you're using livecd and not your lubuntu from hdd? | 19:47 |
| andri | Cause I cant boot into it | 19:47 |
| szczur | and then mount partition with ubuntu to that folder | 19:47 |
| szczur | for example | 19:47 |
| andri | After the post screen is just get stuck on a blank screen | 19:47 |
| szczur | i have ubuntu on /dev/sda6 | 19:47 |
| szczur | mkdir /ubu | 19:47 |
| andri | Oh | 19:47 |
| szczur | mount /dev/sda6 /ubu | 19:47 |
| szczur | and then continue | 19:48 |
| szczur | the rest :) | 19:48 |
| bioterror | hmm, my internet is sloooow :-) | 19:49 |
| andri | Youre making this awfully complicated for me. Id like to clarify that Im 90% paralyzed when using this terminal. Im not a linux veteran or a user. Im a total newb.. >> | 19:49 |
| szczur | ok | 19:49 |
| szczur | so let's do this step by step | 19:49 |
| szczur | lets* | 19:49 |
| szczur | meh | 19:49 |
| andri | If you have the time :) | 19:49 |
| szczur | do you know on which partition you have installed linux? | 19:49 |
| andri | Yes sdc5 | 19:49 |
| szczur | i always have time | 19:49 |
| szczur | so first do mkdir /ubu | 19:50 |
| szczur | i assume that you're root | 19:50 |
| szczur | if not | 19:50 |
| szczur | please do sudo su | 19:50 |
| andri | Should my terminal look like ths> root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu# | 19:50 |
| szczur | oh, great :) | 19:50 |
| andri | :) | 19:50 |
| andri | Now Ill do mkdir /ubu ? | 19:51 |
| szczur | so, mkdir /ubu as i stated before | 19:51 |
| szczur | yup | 19:51 |
| bioterror | I really have to add that windows partition by hand | 19:51 |
| andri | Ok thats done. | 19:51 |
| szczur | mount /dev/sdc5 /ubu | 19:51 |
| andri | Done. | 19:52 |
| szczur | follow instructions from the file | 19:52 |
| szczur | :) | 19:52 |
| andri | Ok >D | 19:52 |
| szczur | but stop before the last line | 19:52 |
| szczur | we have to get sure | 19:52 |
| szczur | :) | 19:52 |
| andri | Ok, now it looks like this > root@ubuntu:/# | 19:53 |
| szczur | ok | 19:53 |
| szczur | so you're on your system | 19:53 |
| szczur | say hello to it :> | 19:53 |
| andri | Should I type that into the terminal? | 19:53 |
| szczur | naaah | 19:53 |
| andri | XD | 19:53 |
| andri | Haha ok :p | 19:53 |
| szczur | you're booting from first hard drive, right? | 19:54 |
| andri | What does that even mean? | 19:54 |
| szczur | i know, best thing would be to do | 19:54 |
| szczur | fdisk -l | 19:54 |
| szczur | and pastebin the output | 19:54 |
| szczur | then i would know th elayout of partition table | 19:54 |
| szczur | i was asking that | 19:54 |
| szczur | because i see that you have 3 hard drives | 19:55 |
| szczur | i think | 19:55 |
| andri | http://pastebin.com/qU25WL2C | 19:55 |
| andri | Yeah I do | 19:55 |
| szczur | what are these 1 GB disks? | 19:56 |

| szczur | nvm, me needs to calm down :) | 19:57 |
| szczur | what is on these disks? | 19:58 |
| szczur | i mean, are there some systems? | 19:58 |
| andri | Installed games, game installs, movies, shows, anime etc | 19:58 |
| szczur | or just data disks? | 19:58 |
| szczur | mkay | 19:58 |
| andri | Just data and Program Files | 19:58 |
| szczur | data disks, so these are not used for booting (starting up the GRUB or systems directly) | 19:59 |
| szczur | sooo, let the show begin | 19:59 |
| andri | I assume youre right. | 19:59 |
| szczur | grub-install --recheck --no-floppy /dev/sdc | 19:59 |
| andri | root@ubuntu:/# grub-install --recheck --no-floppy /dev/sdc | 20:00 |
| andri | /usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Sector 32 is already in use by FlexNet; avoiding it. This software may cause boot or other problems in future. Please ask its authors not to store data in the boot track.. | 20:00 |
| andri | Installation finished. No error reported. | 20:00 |
| andri | What does that mean? It gave me an error but there are no errors? | 20:00 |
| szczur | warrning is not error | 20:01 |
| andri | Oh, allright. | 20:01 |
| andri | So what now? :) | 20:01 |
| szczur | you can finish succesfully with a warning | 20:01 |
| szczur | errors are dreadful | 20:01 |
| szczur | :) | 20:01 |
| andri | =D | 20:01 |
| szczur | now you should reboot | 20:01 |
| andri | Allright, brb then! | 20:01 |
| szczur | and check if it is running ok | 20:01 |
| szczur | aahh wait | 20:01 |
| andri | Im still here | 20:01 |
| szczur | do not log out yet | 20:01 |
| andri | then wut? | 20:02 |
| szczur | sudo os-prober | 20:02 |
| szczur | gaaah | 20:02 |
| szczur | without sudo | 20:02 |
| szczur | just os-prober | 20:02 |
| szczur | update-grub | 20:02 |
| szczur | and now you're free | 20:02 |
| szczur | :) | 20:02 |
| andri | The program isprober isnt installed | 20:02 |
| szczur | this should work | 20:02 |
| andri | lol | 20:02 |
| andri | should I install it? | 20:02 |
| szczur | first run "os-prober" | 20:03 |
| szczur | and then "update-grub" | 20:03 |
| andri | root@ubuntu:/# os-prober | 20:03 |
| andri | The program 'os-prober' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: | 20:03 |
| andri | apt-get install os-prober | 20:03 |
| szczur | and then reboot | 20:03 |
| szczur | huh? | 20:03 |
| andri | I know right | 20:03 |
| andri | It worked like 5 minutes ago | 20:03 |
| szczur | but you were on your system | 20:03 |
| szczur | soo | 20:03 |
| szczur | apt-get install os-prober | 20:04 |
| szczur | and then redo it | 20:04 |
| andri | root@ubuntu:/# os-prober | 20:04 |
| andri | Cannot find list of partitions! | 20:04 |
| andri | I dont know if this is considered funny but I giggled.. | 20:04 |
| andri | its like, every step has some kind of obstacle | 20:05 |
| szczur | gaaah | 20:05 |

| szczur | don't know from which disk you're actually booting | 20:12 |
| szczur | ok, so | 20:12 |
| szczur | do everything as root | 20:13 |
| szczur | mkdir /ubu | 20:13 |
| Andri | as root | 20:13 |
| szczur | mount /dev/sdc5 /ubu | 20:13 |
| bioterror | I can add manually my windows partition to grub.cfg, but it disappears when I uupdate | 20:13 |
| Andri | wait.. how do I do everything as root? | 20:13 |
| bioterror | so in next kernel update --> no windows again | 20:13 |
| bioterror | Andri, sudo su | 20:13 |
| Andri | Ok | 20:13 |
| szczur | mount -o bind /proc /ubu/proc | 20:13 |
| szczur | bioterror, add the entry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom | 20:14 |
| szczur | and rerun the update-grub | 20:14 |
| szczur | Andri, are you following? | 20:14 |
| Andri | Yeah | 20:14 |
| szczur | mount -o bind /dev /ubu/dev | 20:14 |
| szczur | chroot /ubu /bin/bash | 20:14 |

| phillw | andri: you can re-install the win boot loader if you need to, even if you do not the original disk --> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708 | 20:48 |
| szczur | phillw, but he needs to have instalation disk | 20:56 |
| szczur | which he doesn't have | 20:56 |
| andri | Maybe I do! | 21:00 |
| szczur | run this, and then we will try to reinstall the GRUB | 21:01 |
| szczur | one more time | 21:01 |
| * szczur is a very patient guy | 21:01 | |
| phillw | szczur: that post has how to get a disk that re-install the windows MBR system. | 21:02 |
| andri | Ok szczur. | 21:03 |
| andri | Im all yours. What do you want me to do? | 21:04 |
| szczur | phillw, i know, i did it couple of times | 21:04 |
| szczur | so it will remove actual mbr of this disk and replace it with windows one | 21:04 |
| szczur | but if he want to boot u7buntu | 21:04 |
| szczur | he needs to have grub | 21:04 |
| andri | Uh | 21:05 |
| phillw | yes, and then once win is happy, you piut grub back on. | 21:05 |
| andri | Ubuntu can be sorted out lated tbh. | 21:05 |
| andri | I just want my games and music T_T | 21:05 |
| szczur | andri, do the things written in the Win Vista/7 section of the site posted by phillw | 21:05 |
| andri | Ok! | 21:05 |

| andri | Im listening to self recorded piano playing on my keyboard to try and fill the gap in my soul.. | 21:06 |
| szczur | :) | 21:06 |
| phillw | andri: you're ubuntu area will not be touched, and you can always go back to that thread and put grub on so it dual boots. 1st thing to do is get Win happy. | 21:06 |
| andri | Ok | 21:07 |
| andri | But I dont have a blank cd for the repair disc >+>< | 21:07 |
| andri | Bah for the sake of getting my music back Ill use a DVD disc for a 100mb file | 21:09 |
| andri | >_> | 21:09 |
| andri | Wait, how can I run the livecd AND write an iso to a cd?? | 21:10 |
| szczur | ohh, wait for a while | 21:11 |
| andri | For a while? | 21:11 |
| andri | Lol omg drive cant be used for burning | 21:14 |
| andri | I have to fix it first, then boot into hdd then download and make | 21:14 |
| szczur | do you have spare usb drive | 21:14 |
| phillw | you'd need to install grub2 and use that to mount the iso from your hard disk, that will then free up the dvd/cd writer | 21:14 |
| szczur | or boot from usb | 21:14 |
| andri | Actually, I do have a 8GB usb | 21:14 |
| phillw | indeed szczur | 21:14 |
| friTTe| | i need some of those 4 or 8gb sticks | 21:15 |
| andri | But Ill have to change the bios to load from other devices I think | 21:15 |
| szczur | andri, you | 21:15 |
| MonthOLDpickle | or hit the one time shortcut liek f9 to load a boot menu | 21:15 |
| szczur | yup* | 21:15 |
| szczur | or F11 | 21:15 |
| andri | Oh yeah | 21:15 |
| andri | does it have to be empty} | 21:16 |
| szczur | andri, sudo apt-get install usb-creator-gtk | 21:16 |
| szczur | preferably | 21:16 |
| szczur | but you can do it from the usb creator | 21:16 |
| andri | seriously though, that is just super handy | 21:16 |
| andri | You can just post a command for installing a application | 21:16 |
| andri | How neat is that! | 21:17 |
| szczur | :) | 21:17 |
| andri | the stick is empty and im instaling that usbcreator | 21:18 |
| szczur | ok | 21:18 |
| andri | its taking awefully long to unpack some files >:() | 21:18 |
| andri | Oo its ready! | 21:18 |
| andri | I cant find the app though. How do I run it? | 21:19 |
| andri | nvm found it! | 21:19 |
| szczur | "Start" Menu > Preferences > install on a usb | 21:19 |
| szczur | or something like that | 21:19 |
| andri | Nah I just did run usb-creator.gkf or watever >D | 21:20 |
| szczur | :P | 21:20 |
| MonthOLDpickle | or unetbootin | 21:20 |
| andri | I dont know.. it feels as if deep down in the core, ubuntu feels more simple and clean than windows.. | 21:25 |
| andri | Still, Im paralyzed when it comes to doing something lol | 21:25 |
| MonthOLDpickle | lubuntu > ubuntu | 21:25 |
| MonthOLDpickle | less bloated =p | 21:25 |
| andri | I have lubuntu | 21:25 |
| andri | I just missed an l. | 21:25 |
| szczur | but still, it's almost the same in terms of using and doing the administrative tasks :) | 21:26 |
| andri | would running a game with workaround give me better, same or worse performance? | 21:26 |
| MonthOLDpickle | bluetooth is buggy for me | 21:26 |
| andri | Then running it on windows | 21:26 |
| MonthOLDpickle | VM? | 21:26 |
| MonthOLDpickle | VB? | 21:26 |
| andri | Installation is complete. You may now run Ubuntu on other computers by booting them with this drive inserted. WTF I thought I was making a repair disc O>O | 21:27 |
| szczur | andri, you were making a boot usb | 21:27 |
| andri | Oh | 21:27 |
| szczur | now when you boot from it | 21:27 |
| szczur | you have your CD-R drive free | 21:27 |
| szczur | and you'll be able to burn something | 21:27 |
| andri | Oh right | 21:27 |
| andri | But still it asked me for an image | 21:28 |
| szczur | because he needs to have something to take data from :) | 21:28 |
| andri | and I browsed for the repair disc lol | 21:28 |
| szczur | iso image od cd-rom | 21:28 |
| szczur | repair disc? | 21:29 |
| andri | Yeah the instructions on tha website | 21:29 |
| andri | To get windows7 working | 21:29 |
| andri | I had to download a repair disc | 21:29 |
| szczur | so you will not be able to boot from it | 21:29 |
| szczur | this thing is meant to make a bootable Ubuntu usb drive | 21:29 |
| szczur | not windows one | 21:29 |
| andri | Hahaha | 21:29 |
| andri | Ill have to format the usb stick then hold on | 21:30 |
| andri | When it asks for a source disc image, do I just let it use /dev/sr0 ? | 21:30 |
| szczur | yup | 21:31 |
| andri | Got it. | 21:31 |
| andri | Then I will be able to burn the repair disc iso to a disc | 21:31 |
| szczur | yes :) | 21:32 |
| andri | fantastic | 21:32 |
| andri | Ok brb guise | 21:35 |
| Andri | Ok | 21:39 |
| Andri | Running from the USB took shorter time for bootuo | 21:40 |
| Andri | bootup | 21:40 |
| szczur | ok, now you can use cd burner to burn the recovery iso or whatever it was named | 21:41 |
| Andri | Yeah | 21:41 |
| Andri | But Ill need that link again | 21:41 |
| Andri | Can you post the link again, the one you posted a few minutes ago? | 21:43 |
| phillw | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1014708 | 21:44 |
| Andri | thanks | 21:45 |
| Andri | Ill admit, Im going to miss this OS. But for the sake of my sanity I dont think Ill be spending so much time with it for the next day or so. | 21:46 |
| szczur | :) | 21:47 |
| szczur | you'll come back :> | 21:47 |
| Andri | I will | 21:47 |
| Andri | What is the best Os for running along with your windows? | 21:47 |
| szczur | dunno :) | 21:50 |
| szczur | it depends | 21:50 |
| szczur | ubuntu is easy to use | 21:50 |
| szczur | :) | 21:51 |
| Andri | No.. lol | 21:51 |
| Andri | Its not easy :< | 21:51 |
| szczur | LIES! | 21:51 |
| Andri | XFburn does that work? | 21:51 |
| Andri | Will that create my repair disc correctly? | 21:51 |
| szczur | i think it should | 21:51 |
| szczur | yes, i think | 21:51 |
| Andri | Awwrite. | 21:51 |
| szczur | if it is iso file, why wouldn't it :) | 21:52 |
| Andri | idd | 21:52 |
| Andri | Im using a dvd disc for a 150mb file. | 21:52 |
| Andri | This better work... | 21:52 |
| szczur | it will :) | 21:52 |
| szczur | i hope so | 21:52 |
| Andri | You have been like my mother/father (whatever floats your boat) today!! | 21:53 |
| szczur | lol :) | 21:54 |
| phillw | Andri: when you're 'playing' and learning, invest in a CD-RW | 21:54 |
| szczur | i felt more like a private helpdesk guy :) | 21:54 |
| Andri | hahahaha | 21:54 |
| Andri | Rewriteable? | 21:54 |
| Andri | I guess that makes sense. | 21:55 |
| phillw | yeah, re-writeable, that way you can nuke it and use it again. | 21:55 |
| Andri | Does it have a limited number of nukes? | 21:55 |
| phillw | a few hundered | 21:55 |
| Andri | Haha nice | 21:55 |
| Andri | But USB feels faster than CD. Am I wrong? | 21:56 |
| phillw | if you can use usb, that is the better option to boot off, but some usb drives have a finite life also. | 21:56 |
| Andri | Oh | 21:56 |
| Andri | Kingston datatraveler - should do the trick? | 21:57 |
| phillw | well, they all do, but some are designed specifically for the usage. (they cost about 3 X the price of a normal one) and they're also faster. | 21:57 |
| Andri | Ah nice | 21:57 |
| Andri | Ill be back in a few minutes guise, gonna fix my s***. | 21:58 |
| Andri | Brb :> | 21:58 |
| phillw | Look for a USB stick that has 'Speed Boost' certification. | 21:58 |

| Andri__sadface | Although Im not really that surprised, it just seems to be how things go. | 22:16 |
| Andri__sadface | Well that repair thing didnt work. | 22:16 |
| Andri__sadface | bootrec.exe /fixboot gave me unknown element | 22:16 |
| * phillw well I'm fairly stuck at that. | 22:16 | |
| phillw | did you burn the dvd slowly? | 22:16 |
| Andri__sadface | I didnt | 22:17 |
| szczur | but it worked | 22:17 |
| Andri__sadface | The dvd worked | 22:17 |
| Andri__sadface | But this one command didnt | 22:17 |
| szczur | he says that the commands didn't fix it | 22:17 |
| Andri__sadface | But the other worked.. | 22:17 |
| szczur | fixmbr worked? | 22:17 |
| Andri__sadface | Its like this, type in bootrec.exe /fixboot and bootrec.exe /fixmbr, the latter worked. | 22:17 |
| Andri__sadface | Yes | 22:17 |
| szczur | hmm, what was the output of fixboot | 22:18 |
| szczur | ? | 22:18 |
| Andri__sadface | Unknow element | 22:18 |
