[16:56] * holstein uses http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [16:57] Persistent? [16:57] im sure there is a way [16:58] you could also use a live CD [16:58] and install to a USB drive [16:58] Don't have a CD. >_< [16:58] BEING catious of where grub is installing [16:58] I am on the school computers at the moment, volunteering, and I am getting annoyed by having to reinstall everything. [16:59] try checking out http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download [16:59] all the options [17:00] Primedeath: Ah your limited then, I was going to suggest an iso mounter [17:00] Hmmm. [17:00] There is one computer without DeepFreeze enabled. [17:01] AFAIK you can make USB sticks from the live CD [17:01] maybe you can just go to another box for a bit [17:01] and boot a CD [17:04] Bah. [17:04] Back. [17:06] If only I could remove Deep Freeze on this computer. [17:09] So, hm... If only I had another USB Drive. [17:10] there's a usb-creator.exe on the image [17:10] hm, maybe there isn't. there used to be [17:11] cjwatson: I couldn't see it on natty iso is there a ppa or something with it in though? [17:11] doubt it. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick has some helpful links [17:11] I suspect it was broken [17:14] There are installers for older versions of Ubuntu, I just want the latest version. Heh. [17:21] Yawn. [17:23] console-setup: cjwatson * r156 ubuntu/debian/ (3 files): [17:23] console-setup: Exit cleanly from initramfs hook if /etc/default/console-setup doesn't [17:23] console-setup: exist for some reason (LP: #634402). [17:33] actually, the 10.10 desktop CD has usb-creator.exe on it [17:34] ev: could you arrange for http://people.canonical.com/~evand/usb-creator/natty/ to exist? that's the only reason usb-creator isn't on natty CDs [17:35] Primedeath: you should find usb-creator.exe in the root of the 10.10 CD filesystem. Try it [17:38] cjwatson, are you sure that reading the amount of ram from /sys/firmware/memmap/* gets an accurate number? just as a quick test on my box: http://paste.ubuntu.com/532475/ [17:39] superm1: should come straight from DMI [17:39] and to confuse things further, the old dmi-available-memory binary is getting a different number too [17:39] $ sudo ./usr/lib/base-installer/dmi-available-memory [17:39] 4194304 [17:40] what should the number be on that system? [17:40] lemme reboot and double check from the firmware. i think 4 gigs [17:40] MemTotal in /proc/meminfo isn't authoritative [17:40] that's just how much memory the kernel can currently manage to use [17:45] looks like 2 2gig dims, firmware says 4096 MB installed and 3960 MB available [17:46] the number from memmap seems plausible then [17:46] only interested in the available count [17:46] it's a factor of a gig too large though isn't it? [17:47] oh, I misread your test script [17:47] i just snipped it out of partman-auto or so [17:47] can I have a tarball of /sys/firmware/memmap [17:47] ? [17:47] sure [17:49] http://people.ubuntu.com/~superm1/memmap.tar.gz [17:53] ah, ok, bug in that it fails to subtract the start address [17:53] actually, well, sort of [17:54] I copied that from base-installer, whose test is simply "is there RAM above 4GB?" [17:54] and in your case there is - but the partman-auto test needs to be subtler because it actually needs to know how much, minus holes [17:54] could you file a bug on partman-auto and attach that memmap.tar.gz? thanks [17:54] sure [17:58] Apparently Universal USB Installer has a Persistent file it can make3. [17:58] Going to have to try it. [17:58] superm1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/532491/ should be better [17:58] but I have to run now [17:58] PenDriveLinux that is. [18:00] cjwatson, yeah that gets it a lot better. shows as 4150 for that [18:01] and remember that's decimal megabytes [18:01] the raw number that gives is 4150219776 bytes, which is 3958 * 1024 * 1024 [18:01] oh right, so yeah that's dead on [18:02] (decimal because of disk manufacturers' marketing tricks) [18:02] awesome, [18:02] thanks
