| UBuxuBU | good morning Xubuntu Technicians. | 05:24 |
| UBuxuBU | i have buntu 1004 installed via wubi. i am trying to use clamtk to scan my w7 OS but i cant see it | 08:12 |
| lighta | you mean | 08:13 |
| lighta | disk ? | 08:13 |
| UBuxuBU | i am wondering if bunti installed via wubi can act like a live cd to remove virus from an infected w7 os | 08:13 |
| UBuxuBU | buntu* | 08:14 |
| UBuxuBU | or do you have to use a live cd to remove virus from an infected w7 pc | 08:15 |
| lighta | don't know hpw wubi really so I don't really know | 08:15 |
| lighta | but what you trying is to see your hard disk from your xubuntu installation right ? | 08:16 |
| UBuxuBU | seems like i should be able to read w7 files from ubuntu regardless ....YES | 08:16 |
| UBuxuBU | YES | 08:16 |
| lighta | ok | 08:16 |
| UBuxuBU | exactly | 08:16 |
| lighta | can you do a fdisk -L | 08:16 |
| lighta | ? | 08:17 |
| UBuxuBU | to read files? | 08:17 |
| lighta | wait I should give you exact command | 08:17 |
| lighta | just to see if we can see your hard disk | 08:17 |
| UBuxuBU | i see ot 500gb y | 08:17 |
| UBuxuBU | i see it in the gui | 08:17 |
| lighta | sudo fdisk -l | 08:17 |
| lighta | ah | 08:17 |
| lighta | on xfce gui ? | 08:18 |
| UBuxuBU | just not sure how to scan it | 08:18 |
| lighta | so you sein it but can read it ? | 08:18 |
| UBuxuBU | when i use disk utility | 08:18 |
| lighta | are there a mounting point created ? | 08:18 |
| UBuxuBU | i see 500gb hd | 08:18 |
| lighta | ok but with something like thunar ? | 08:19 |
| UBuxuBU | well this one is ubuntu | 08:19 |
| lighta | so dolphin ? | 08:19 |
| lighta | what's your gui ? | 08:19 |
| UBuxuBU | dunno | 08:19 |
| UBuxuBU | 1004 lucid | 08:19 |
| UBuxuBU | ubuntu | 08:19 |
| UBuxuBU | lts | 08:20 |
| lighta | uh doesn't help | 08:20 |
| UBuxuBU | ill look | 08:20 |
| lighta | never mind so what do you use to see your file most of time ? | 08:20 |
| lighta | not quite familiar with ubuntu | 08:20 |
| lighta | dolphin should exist I think | 08:20 |
| UBuxuBU | i use system,admin,disk utility | 08:21 |
| UBuxuBU | or my home folder | 08:21 |
| UBuxuBU | i suq at buntu | 08:22 |
| lighta | lol nvm | 08:22 |
| lighta | so | 08:22 |
| UBuxuBU | yet i get around well | 08:22 |
| lighta | can't you see your hard drive | 08:22 |
| lighta | on /media ? | 08:22 |
| UBuxuBU | in terminal...is that wut u mean | 08:23 |
| lighta | on terminal or on your explorator since I don't know the yet | 08:23 |
| UBuxuBU | ill run that terminal | 08:23 |
| UBuxuBU | ill look | 08:23 |
| lighta | ls /media | 08:24 |
| UBuxuBU | does nuthing | 08:25 |
| UBuxuBU | ls -l maybe | 08:25 |
| lighta | can I see result of sudo fdisk -l ? | 08:25 |
| lighta | no if you got nothing mean there nothing on media | 08:25 |
| UBuxuBU | fdisk is 0 | 08:26 |
| UBuxuBU | just blinks at me | 08:26 |
| UBuxuBU | ls -l has lots of stuff | 08:26 |
| lighta | oh ? | 08:26 |
| UBuxuBU | desktop stuff | 08:27 |
| UBuxuBU | docs dloads | 08:27 |
| UBuxuBU | stuff like that | 08:27 |
| lighta | ah yeah well we getting far from the point | 08:27 |
| lighta | what you did is ls -l on your desktop folder | 08:28 |
| lighta | wich not interesting for us | 08:28 |
| UBuxuBU | see all wubi is just a file inside windows | 08:28 |
| lighta | so fdisk result is 0 ? | 08:28 |
| lighta | ah ye | 08:28 |
| UBuxuBU | just blinking curser | 08:28 |
| UBuxuBU | i am not infected | 08:29 |
| UBuxuBU | just wondered if ubuntu as wubi would be able to read an kill windows virus | 08:29 |
| UBuxuBU | hehe | 08:29 |
| UBuxuBU | i know how to do it with live cd | 08:30 |
| UBuxuBU | prolly noone knows or ever tried | 08:31 |
| lighta | prolly they tryed yet | 08:31 |
| UBuxuBU | they just use live cd to do surgery on windows | 08:31 |
| lighta | but as I said I don't know mush about wubi | 08:31 |
| UBuxuBU | seems like noone does | 08:31 |
| lighta | well yeah this could be faster | 08:32 |
| UBuxuBU | many say its not too good | 08:32 |
| lighta | but all you have to do is to mount your hard disk | 08:32 |
| lighta | on you wubi intallation | 08:32 |
| UBuxuBU | but will that mess it up | 08:32 |
| lighta | what I found strang is that you have no result for fdisk but maybe it's normal for a wubi install | 08:32 |
| UBuxuBU | is the mount reversable | 08:32 |
| lighta | yes it is | 08:32 |
| lighta | don't worry | 08:32 |
| UBuxuBU | ok i saw that option | 08:33 |
| UBuxuBU | ill try it | 08:33 |
| lighta | =) | 08:33 |
| UBuxuBU | i knew to scan i had to mount | 08:33 |
| UBuxuBU | here goes | 08:33 |
| UBuxuBU | brb w/ test results | 08:33 |
| UBuxuBU | ITS at /media/recovery | 08:37 |
| UBuxuBU | shows that when it hit mount...in the gui | 08:37 |
| UBuxuBU | i ll try to scan with clamtk now | 08:38 |
| lighta | what the size of this disk ? | 08:38 |
| lighta | you should check before scan | 08:38 |
| UBuxuBU | ooops its only 21gb | 08:39 |
| lighta | you should be able to look windows content too | 08:39 |
| lighta | see | 08:39 |
| UBuxuBU | its not it | 08:39 |
| UBuxuBU | its must be the ubuntu file at that size | 08:39 |
| UBuxuBU | cos my hd is 500gb | 08:39 |
| UBuxuBU | looking deeper... | 08:39 |
| lighta | would be something else | 08:39 |
| lighta | media are partition | 08:40 |
| lighta | not on the linux used now | 08:40 |
| UBuxuBU | its FAT | 08:40 |
| UBuxuBU | ITS MY RECOVERY PARTITION | 08:40 |
| lighta | ok | 08:40 |
| UBuxuBU | dangerous | 08:40 |
| UBuxuBU | yikes | 08:40 |
| lighta | you can unmount it if you want | 08:41 |
| UBuxuBU | now i know wut to do hehe...brb | 08:41 |
| UBuxuBU | ok its mounted at /host | 08:42 |
| UBuxuBU | and wont let me ck files cos its active | 08:42 |
| UBuxuBU | hmmm | 08:42 |
| lighta | size good ? | 08:42 |
| UBuxuBU | yup 479 gb | 08:42 |
| lighta | k it's probably ntfs the issue | 08:42 |
| UBuxuBU | i see the whole drive | 08:43 |
| lighta | you better mount it with a line like this | 08:43 |
| UBuxuBU | i havent tried clam yet there | 08:43 |
| lighta | /dev/sda3/media/C ntfs-3g defaults,locale=fr_FR.utf8 0 0 | 08:43 |
| lighta | I know I abuse with this but I found it very strange that you got no result with fdisk -l | 08:43 |
| UBuxuBU | see the partition doent even show buntu at all | 08:45 |
| lighta | but did you used sudo before ? | 08:45 |
| UBuxuBU | it shows a small FAT | 08:45 |
| lighta | if not it's normal you got no result | 08:45 |
| UBuxuBU | MY RECOVERY | 08:45 |
| UBuxuBU | ABD 470 NTFS | 08:45 |
| lighta | ah nice | 08:45 |
| UBuxuBU | and 479 ntfs | 08:45 |
| UBuxuBU | no linux | 08:45 |
| lighta | what it's /dev/sda number ? | 08:45 |
| UBuxuBU | prolly cos its a windows file | 08:46 |
| lighta | yup this normal =) | 08:46 |
| lighta | your on a ntfs partition | 08:46 |
| UBuxuBU | /dev/sda/2 | 08:46 |
| lighta | so your line must be something like this | 08:46 |
| lighta | /dev/sda2/media/C ntfs-3g defaults,locale=fr_FR.utf8 0 0 | 08:46 |
| lighta | k maybe you can skip locale=fr etc thing | 08:47 |
| UBuxuBU | says will not scan /dev | 08:50 |
| lighta | k so UBuxuBU your partition is mounted on /host | 08:50 |
| lighta | sorry | 08:50 |
| UBuxuBU | yes | 08:51 |
| lighta | can you see all your windows file ? | 08:51 |
| UBuxuBU | cos wubi really doesnt partition at all | 08:51 |
| lighta | yeah =) | 08:51 |
| UBuxuBU | there is no real linux partition | 08:51 |
| lighta | can you manipulate them as you want for your scan ? | 08:51 |
| UBuxuBU | trying | 08:52 |
| lighta | from what I understand you should | 08:53 |
| UBuxuBU | ah hah | 08:53 |
| UBuxuBU | there is an 18 gig loop | 08:53 |
| UBuxuBU | /dev/loop0 | 08:54 |
| lighta | can't you exculde it ? | 08:54 |
| UBuxuBU | it already was i just now mounted it for the heck of it | 08:54 |
| UBuxuBU | try some more stuff | 08:55 |
| lighta | ? you mount peripherical folder for a scan? | 08:57 |
| UBuxuBU | i think i just scannedeverything | 08:59 |
| UBuxuBU | i chose scan directory | 08:59 |
| UBuxuBU | chose file system | 08:59 |
| UBuxuBU | and it says i scanned about 860000 signatures | 08:59 |
| UBuxuBU | but if i did thats an awful fast scan | 09:00 |
| lighta | he may skip more if you give him a large amount to scan | 09:01 |
| lighta | idk how your scan engine works | 09:01 |
| UBuxuBU | hmmm when i scanned i saw the word registry fly by | 09:03 |
| UBuxuBU | linux has no registry | 09:03 |
| UBuxuBU | thats a windows term afaik | 09:03 |
| lighta | well wasn't windows file that you wanted to scan ? | 09:05 |
| UBuxuBU | yes | 09:06 |
| UBuxuBU | its an experiment to see if an already installed wubu can clean an infecte windows os | 09:06 |
| UBuxuBU | if so ppl would be prepared up front by having wubi in windows | 09:07 |
| UBuxuBU | unless it was so comprimised that u cant boot windows | 09:07 |
| UBuxuBU | but then u just di live buntu cd | 09:08 |
| UBuxuBU | do* | 09:08 |
| UBuxuBU | still not convinced i did it though | 09:08 |
| lighta | I see | 09:11 |
| UBuxuBU | cant scan 479gb in 5 seconds hehe | 09:12 |
| UBuxuBU | oh well ill keep foolin with it | 09:12 |
| UBuxuBU | they say u can install avast in ubuntu....hmmmm | 09:14 |
| UBuxuBU | maybe ill try that i know avast pretty well | 09:14 |

| UBuxuBU | x86 only i am 64 | 09:17 |
| UBuxuBU | oh well live cd is sure thing anyway! | 09:18 |
| lighta | usb live | 09:18 |
| lighta | good too =) | 09:18 |
| UBuxuBU | even better prolly | 09:19 |
| UBuxuBU | i got it now | 10:02 |
| UBuxuBU | it works | 10:02 |
| UBuxuBU | clam is just really really bizarre | 10:02 |
| UBuxuBU | its prolly gonna take a couple hours to finish | 10:03 |
| lighta | I wan't to only use wlan connexion and disable ethernet, is uncommend /etc/network/interface the correct way to do it or should I do something else ? | 10:04 |
| UBuxuBU | system...prefernces...network connection i think | 10:08 |
| UBuxuBU | then configure it there | 10:09 |
| Sysi | i think networkmanager expects that everyone want to use wire if they have it plugged | 10:28 |
| Sysi | wlan autoconnecting isn't related to eth0, you just need to mark it so in "configure connections" orwhatitis | 10:29 |
| lighta | in where Sysi ? | 10:32 |

| MorphixNW | hi | 11:25 |
| scifi | how do i add a new font to the system? | 14:23 |
| knome | scifi, copy to /usr/share/fonts and run 'fc-cache -f -v /usr/share/fonts' | 14:46 |
| knome | scifi, ~/.fonts would work as well | 14:46 |
| knome | well, pretty much any path, but... | 14:46 |
| scifi | seem to have managed to get it working copying it to usr/share/local/fonts i think it was | 14:48 |
| scifi | didnt have to run that terminal command | 14:48 |
| knome | okay | 14:52 |
| nirazio | 1 down vote favorite Share on Facebook Share on Twitter I am running Xubuntu. I was running headless fine before using tightVNC on windows and vino on Xubuntu. Now, after entering the password on the remote server, the unlock keyringdialog pops on the local server.. | 14:55 |
| nirazio | How to disable it?? | 14:55 |
| MorphixNW | hey | 16:07 |
| ShootEmUp | hello everybody | 16:17 |
| ShootEmUp | hello again | 16:18 |
| charlie-tca | Good morning | 16:21 |
| ShootEmUp | how is everyone today? I'm snowed in | 16:22 |
| charlie-tca | Enjoy it while it is there? | 16:24 |
| ShootEmUp | I'll try, I just really hate snow | 16:25 |
| Sysi | it's not good if you have to drive a car but otherly nice | 16:26 |
| Sysi | i wanna move to somewhere where's never -30°C | 16:27 |
| ShootEmUp | Its never that here | 16:28 |
| Sysi | -20? | 16:29 |
| charlie-tca | Isn't that cold? we don't get below about -15C here | 16:29 |
| ShootEmUp | got down to 10 F | 16:29 |
| ShootEmUp | -12C | 16:29 |
| charlie-tca | heh, we are already up to 19 F | 16:30 |
| Sysi | so you're living in warm places :P | 16:30 |
| ShootEmUp | -12C is so rare here anyway | 16:30 |
| ShootEmUp | its good weather most of the time | 16:30 |
| Sysi | -12 is normal winter here | 16:31 |
| charlie-tca | Oh, apparently, that's -7 C | 16:31 |
| ShootEmUp | fail | 16:31 |
| ShootEmUp | Sysi, where do you live? | 16:31 |
| Sysi | finland | 16:33 |
| ShootEmUp | ahh, I'm in North Carolina, USA | 16:33 |
| Sysi | i'll visit usa some day | 16:36 |
| ShootEmUp | its nice, some people are words I can't say on this channel, but most are nice | 16:37 |
| ShootEmUp | just stay off the interstates | 16:37 |
| charlie-tca | I talked to my daughter in NC yesterday. It was warmer than here | 16:38 |
| ShootEmUp | were do you live? | 16:38 |
| charlie-tca | Idaho, USA | 16:38 |
| Sysi | i'd move to states but your social security sucks and afaik there's no too much jobs available atm | 16:39 |
| ShootEmUp | ok, nice to know when your talking about the weather | 16:39 |
| ShootEmUp | Sysi, yeah its probably best to wait for a litttle wile | 16:39 |
| Sysi | climate, language or politics always suck | 16:39 |
| ShootEmUp | the world sucks, just some parts more than others | 16:40 |
| charlie-tca | Canada has good medical, doesn't it? | 16:40 |
| ShootEmUp | I've heard good things | 16:40 |
| Sysi | canada could be nice, but isn't it even colder than here? | 16:41 |
| charlie-tca | I always thought either Netherlands or Sweden would be a nice place to live | 16:41 |
| charlie-tca | Sysi: yes, it might be | 16:41 |
| ShootEmUp | or you could try mexico... | 16:41 |
| Sysi | southern sweden could be nice | 16:42 |
| MorphixNW | I having a strange issue with the Wastebasket | 16:42 |
| ShootEmUp | do tell | 16:42 |
| MorphixNW | items seem to be getting stuck and I cant delete them | 16:42 |
| charlie-tca | yes, that does seem to happen | 16:42 |
| ShootEmUp | ahh, just had a problem like that | 16:42 |
| charlie-tca | 10.04 or 10.10? | 16:43 |
| MorphixNW | is there a fix | 16:43 |
| MorphixNW | 10.10 | 16:43 |
| ShootEmUp | open a terminal, and type empty-trash | 16:43 |
| ShootEmUp | thats one fix | 16:43 |
| MorphixNW | empty-trash is not currently installed | 16:44 |
| ShootEmUp | install it | 16:44 |
| charlie-tca | go into /home/USER/.local/share/Trash/files and manually remove them | 16:44 |
| ShootEmUp | thats another fix | 16:45 |
| charlie-tca | You can also hold right-shift when hitting delete to not put files into Trash | 16:45 |
| charlie-tca | or Wastebasket, too | 16:45 |
| MorphixNW | :) | 16:46 |
| ShootEmUp | it work? | 16:46 |
| MorphixNW | ty | 16:46 |
| charlie-tca | You are welcome | 16:46 |
| MorphixNW | yes I installed trash-cli | 16:46 |
| ShootEmUp | you delete it with empty-trash? | 16:47 |
| MorphixNW | yeah | 16:47 |
| charlie-tca | Natty warns me everytime that it can not delete some files in Trash, but then it deletes them anyway | 16:48 |
| ShootEmUp | yeah, I had a thing that I deleted as root, but couldn't empty root trash. and I had to enter root and do empty-trash | 16:48 |
| ShootEmUp | !info trash-cli | 16:50 |
| ubottu | trash-cli (source: trash-cli): command line trashcan utility. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.10.r55-0ubuntu1 (maverick), package size 14 kB, installed size 140 kB | 16:50 |
| ShootEmUp | 140KB, not bad | 16:50 |
| ShootEmUp | I don't use the trash can anymore, I always just delete them | 16:52 |
| ShootEmUp | well i gotta go now, play some black ops. ttyl | 16:58 |
| ShootEmUp | crap, using a swap file you can't hibernate | 16:59 |
| ShootEmUp | oh well ttyl | 16:59 |
| charlie-tca | ShootEmUp is correct. You must have a swap partition to hibernate, otherwise, you are trying to hibernate to the same disk partition you want to hibernate... | 17:55 |
| charlie-tca | MorphixNW: were you asking about games on Ubuntu a while back? | 17:55 |
| MorphixNW | yeah | 17:56 |
| MorphixNW | wanted to get uplink working | 17:56 |
| charlie-tca | You might be interested in http://www.ubuntugamer.com | 17:57 |
| MorphixNW | hmmm interesting :) | 17:58 |
| MorphixNW | thanks | 17:58 |
| charlie-tca | no problem | 17:59 |
| MorphixNW | I got some interesting news that you guys might like :) | 18:07 |
| MorphixNW | a friend mother wants me to install xubuntu for her :P | 18:07 |
| MorphixNW | didnt take much convincing, I am sure she will pick it just fine, just need to point out that "start" is now called "applications" :) | 18:08 |
| charlie-tca | :-) | 18:09 |
| MorphixNW | oh and also | 18:09 |
| MorphixNW | I installed 10.04 on a friends laptop a while ago.....all worked just fine (even a 3g modem) but the sound wouldnt work | 18:09 |
| charlie-tca | turn the controls on? | 18:10 |
| MorphixNW | however, I gave my friend a 10.10 CD for him to install, which he has done and all is now working fine | 18:10 |
| MorphixNW | I tried everything | 18:10 |
| charlie-tca | :-) | 18:10 |
| MorphixNW | but 10.10 has worked out the box yet again | 18:10 |
| MorphixNW | that was a Fujitsu Almio blah blah | 18:10 |
| charlie-tca | It just keeps getting better | 18:10 |
| MorphixNW | well the laptop used to run Vista, badly I might add | 18:11 |
| MorphixNW | but its runs xubuntu very well | 18:11 |
| MorphixNW | its a dual core with 1gb ram | 18:11 |
| MorphixNW | I am currently working to transform and original xbox into a xubuntu media-centre :) | 18:12 |
| MorphixNW | xbox standard hardware isnt enough with 700mhz CPU and 64MB ram | 18:13 |
| MorphixNW | so I have replaced the motherboard with a Mini-ATX | 18:13 |
| MorphixNW | I will also replace the xbox game ports with standard USBS, I think it will make a slick media-centre that wont be out of place under the TV | 18:14 |

| charlie-tca | after the restart, you can't do anything, the mouse moves, but no clicks activate anything | 20:34 |
| psycho_oreos | upgrading is hardly a clean process | 20:35 |
| charlie-tca | not an answer | 20:35 |
| psycho_oreos | lol | 20:35 |
| charlie-tca | I should be able to use the desktop that is there after the upgrade | 20:35 |
| ShootEmUp | hun, sounds like the mouse driver has changed | 20:35 |
| Sysi | does the keyboard work? | 20:35 |
| charlie-tca | It was usable before the upgrade... | 20:36 |
| psycho_oreos | I'd check xorg logs | 20:36 |
| charlie-tca | Sysi: no, not to activate any apps or menu | 20:36 |
| charlie-tca | psycho_oreos: and you would do that by ? when nothing works, | 20:36 |
| Sysi | tty? | 20:36 |
| ShootEmUp | 1. mouse driver change, 2. your mouse broke, 3. mouse driver curroption | 20:36 |
| charlie-tca | real hard to look in /var/log when it won't open | 20:37 |
| psycho_oreos | charlie-tca, I'd boot into single user mode first or rescue mode and then check the logs via console | 20:37 |
| charlie-tca | ShootEmUp: then the keyboard should work | 20:37 |
| Sysi | ctrl alt F1 doesn't work? | 20:37 |
| ShootEmUp | ahh, didn't catch that | 20:37 |
| charlie-tca | Sysi: yes, it does | 20:37 |
| Sysi | have you tried installing updates through that? and maybe reinstall xorg | 20:38 |
| charlie-tca | and when I go back to alt+f7, I can't even shutdown | 20:38 |
| ShootEmUp | I don't know of any fixes, but it sounds like you need to reinstall | 20:38 |
| ShootEmUp | just my 2 cents | 20:39 |
| charlie-tca | heh, don't want to. It worked before I upgraded. | 20:39 |
| charlie-tca | lol | 20:39 |
| psycho_oreos | I don't think charlie-tca will accept that as answer.. lol thought s | 20:39 |
| psycho_oreos | so* | 20:39 |
| charlie-tca | try rebooting about 5 times; you got to the tty... | 20:39 |
| charlie-tca | then it worked | 20:39 |
| ShootEmUp | charlie-tca, maybe Xorg needs reinstalling. I think you can do it from live CD via chroot | 20:40 |
| psycho_oreos | I personally would get my hands dirty by getting a terminal/console and finding out the root of the problem | 20:41 |
| charlie-tca | I rebooted several times, and it decided to work again, to be honest | 20:41 |
| psycho_oreos | I suspect its the xorg `autoprobe' guessing fails | 20:42 |
| ShootEmUp | me too | 20:42 |
| charlie-tca | But I still want to know what locked it up... top showed about 10% of the cpu in use | 20:42 |
| psycho_oreos | again, pull up console and read the logs | 20:42 |
| charlie-tca | and memory was fine | 20:42 |
| ShootEmUp | how do you read the logs? | 20:42 |
| charlie-tca | you can use pager LOG in tty | 20:43 |
| charlie-tca | q quits pager, space pages it one page at a time | 20:43 |
| ShootEmUp | ok thanks | 20:44 |
| psycho_oreos | `cat /var/log/xorg.0.log' for example | 20:44 |
| psycho_oreos | or less | 20:44 |
| charlie-tca | or pager /var/log/xorg.0.log | 20:44 |
| psycho_oreos | there's many ways | 20:44 |
| charlie-tca | you can also use vim or nano or ... | 20:45 |
| psycho_oreos | vi, emacs, pico, ed, more | 20:46 |
| psycho_oreos | etc.. | 20:46 |
| ShootEmUp | okay, I think I got it now | 20:46 |
| charlie-tca | I guess there is more than one way to do it | 20:47 |
| psycho_oreos | a lot more | 20:47 |
| psycho_oreos | might also be a good idea to get xorg write a conf file when it doesn't work and maybe when it works again dump another conf file and do a diff on it | 20:50 |
| psycho_oreos | s/on\ it/on\ both/ | 20:50 |

| LinuX2half | Hi | 22:26 |
| LinuX2half | I have trouble installing Xubuntu, it cannot identify my hard drive | 22:26 |
| TheSheep | try different boot options | 22:27 |
| TheSheep | !boot | 22:27 |
| ubottu | Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto | 22:27 |
| LinuX2half | I manage to identify the hard drive using Gparted | 22:27 |
| LinuX2half | But it cannot be unmounted. | 22:27 |
| LinuX2half | Also I haven't resize the partition for the OS | 22:27 |
| TheSheep | LinuX2half: why is it mounted? | 22:27 |
| TheSheep | LinuX2half: aren;t you using the livecd? | 22:28 |
| LinuX2half | No, I'm booting it from the hard drive. | 22:28 |
| LinuX2half | Using Unetbootin | 22:28 |
| TheSheep | you cannot resize partitions that way | 22:28 |
| TheSheep | they are being used | 22:28 |
| TheSheep | boot from the livecd | 22:28 |
| LinuX2half | Alright thanks. I'll use a CD if I can | 22:30 |
