UbuntuN00b1lame01:11
holsteinUbuntuN00b1: well, i would suggest looking around01:11
holsteinand trying to fix it first01:11
holsteinyou can learn something from the experience01:11
UbuntuN00b1thats true01:11
holsteinand, if you are OK with reinstalling01:11
holsteinyou can always do that :)01:11
UbuntuN00b1all do some google work01:12
holsteinas a last ditch effort01:12
holsteini would google WARNING:root:trying to fix not writable cache directory01:12
holsteinmaybe add ubuntu to it01:12
holsteinand go from there01:12

* holstein looking UbuntuN00b1 01:25
UbuntuN00b1thanks01:25
holsteinUbuntuN00b1: yeah, i would do that01:25
UbuntuN00b1can i just del everything in the cache folder?01:26
holsteinthat looks like a very plausible fix01:26
holsteinyeah, try and just grab it01:26
MrChrisDruifA large section of your errors-logs match01:26
holsteinand put it in the trash01:26
holsteinyou can always recover it that way01:26
holsteinif needed01:26
UbuntuN00b1kk01:26
holsteinbut, i think that is going to do the trick, if you need to be more forceful01:27
UbuntuN00b1hmmm it doesn't want to move to trash just want to del01:27
UbuntuN00b1hehe i guess this is all or nothing01:27
holsteinUbuntuN00b1: ?01:27
holsteinnah01:28
UbuntuN00b1says can not move01:28
UbuntuN00b1and asks to deleate01:28
holsteinyou can sudo mv it01:28
holsteinbut, i would just delete it01:28
UbuntuN00b1kk01:28
holsteinyou're not going to break anything01:28
MrChrisDruifI don't know why Kiwinote didn't just say to open nautilus in terminal with "gksudo nautilus ~/.cache/software-center" :P01:28
holsteinMrChrisDruif: thats true01:28
UbuntuN00b1k should i reboot?01:29
UbuntuN00b1or just see if opens01:29
MrChrisDruifMuch shorter and more universal...everyone can use that01:29
holsteinUbuntuN00b1: you shouldnt have to reboot01:29
MrChrisDruifSee if it opens01:29
UbuntuN00b1nope01:29
UbuntuN00b1it just closed again01:29
holstein:/01:29
UbuntuN00b1let me try again01:30
holsteinUbuntuN00b1: yeah, be sure you get the whole thing01:30
holsteinall the hidden files01:30
UbuntuN00b1hmmmm01:30
holsteinMrChrisDruif: i guess gksudo nautilus could really do some damage01:30
UbuntuN00b1its not deleating a bunch of files01:31
UbuntuN00b1i went in to the directory01:31
holsteinUbuntuN00b1: thats going to be the deal then01:31
UbuntuN00b1and tried to drag all into trash01:31
MrChrisDruifYeah, but that's only if root is needed for that dir01:31
UbuntuN00b1should i go into each folder and deleat the files01:32
UbuntuN00b1leaving the folders in place01:32
UbuntuN00b1?01:32
holsteinUbuntuN00b1: you should try getting rid of everthing from /software-center down01:32
UbuntuN00b1kk01:32
holsteinincluding /home/you/.cache/software-center01:33
UbuntuN00b1hmmm01:33
UbuntuN00b1its givng me that read only crap again01:33

holsteinive had 2 USB sticks die on me02:32
holsteinone was new02:32
holsteinout of the box bad02:32
buntun00b123lamee02:33
holsteinyeah, dont rule it out02:33
holsteindont want to beat your head against the wall02:34
holsteinwhen its hardware02:34
holstein*if its hardware02:34
buntun00b123it would make sense why it works sometiems and not others02:34
holsteinunfortunately, it does support the theory :/02:34
holsteini have SD card installs02:35
buntun00b123nut its weird it would be read and not write instead of just being nothing02:35
holsteinand never needed to do anything special02:35
holsteinbuntun00b123: i think i would reinstall02:35
buntun00b123i think i will do a fresh install in any case and fdisk the card02:35
buntun00b123yeah02:35
holsteinwith the normal ubuntu disk02:35
holstein*vanilla02:36
holsteinbuntun00b123: really format that drive too02:36
buntun00b123yeah i will download that action02:36
holsteinin between02:36
holsteinand see02:36
buntun00b123yeah i will gpart it from live02:36
buntun00b123and destroy the partition02:36
buntun00b123and re-creat it02:36
holsteinbuntun00b123: :)02:36
holsteinyou can make one big ext2 partition in there02:37
holsteinand install to it without swap :)02:37
holsteinthats how i used to do my sd card installs02:37
buntun00b123yeah but my internal drive is only 8 gb02:37
buntun00b123so thats why i had home on the sd card02:37
holsteini see02:37
buntun00b123or you mean i wouldn't to make a swap (partition) ?02:38
buntun00b123if i did that way02:38
holsteini thought you had the whole install on the SD card02:38
holsteinthats the way i usually do it02:38
buntun00b123not the os is on internal (and swap) is on internal02:38
holsteinjust one big ext2 part on the SD card02:38
buntun00b123so you saying when i install i should keep everyting on the internal02:39
buntun00b123and format the sd card as "ext2"?02:39
holsteinbuntun00b123: nah, do your thing02:39
holsteini just didnt know what you were doing02:40
holstein*that should work too02:40
buntun00b123because doesn't ubuntu just pool the storage space?02:40
holsteindepends on how you do it02:40
buntun00b123i just worried cause the sd card has slower read write speed02:40
buntun00b123so i split it up to keep os on the faster drive02:41
holsteini didnt think it was crazy slow02:41
holsteinOS on SD02:41
buntun00b123i can't put os on sd02:41
holsteinit was an EEE900 though02:41
buntun00b123acer sd card is not bootable02:41
buntun00b123its pci02:41
holsteinbuntun00b123: yeah?02:41
buntun00b123yeah02:41

holsteinthat was SO much fun when i got the EEE02:42
holsteininstalling whatever on SD cards02:42

holsteinor the internal drive02:42
holsteinput in a card and boom02:42
holsteinwhole different OS :)02:42
buntun00b123yeah i probably should have bought one of these low profile usb keys02:42
buntun00b123as it would be bootable02:43
holsteineh, you'll sort it out :)02:43
buntun00b123but i didn't realize when  i bought the card02:43

bob_789hi, I'm new to ubuntu but not computers. I've installed and basically like what i see, just having some difficulty now getting it to work with my windows network, etc. So I've been looking at the elearn courses at the canonical shop as a shortcut to getting the knowledge to replace everything with ubuntu. Specifically the Ubuntu Professional course.07:51
bob_789My question is ... is it a recognised course, is there some sort of certificate, can I add it to my c.v. and not be laughed at :P The name would suggest this, but I want to be sure before I hand over my cash :D ... If this is not the right place to ask, could you suggest where I should be looking and/or what I should be looking for.07:51
bob_789lights on but no-one home ?08:10
MrChrisDruifI don't know?08:13
MrChrisDruifbob_789: What seems to be the problem?08:13
bob_789hi08:14
bob_789asked a question but didn't get a response so was kjust checking if anyone really here08:14
MrChrisDruifYeah, but I've just entered the channel....so I missed your question :)08:15
bob_789before I repeated myself08:15

MrChrisDruifAlright :)08:16
MrChrisDruifSo you want to go professional :) Great goal08:17
bob_789yip08:17
bob_789I have a fair bit of experience with pc's but never the certification along the way ... so thought I'd try doing it right with ubuntu08:18
MrChrisDruifI think it's respectable to put it on your c.v. Not only is it recognized as an official certificate (afaik) but it would also show your dedicated, as your getting it in your spare time :)08:19
bob_789thanks for the input08:22
MrChrisDruifYour welcome :)08:22
bob_789i'm leaning towards the course more than just getting a book, reading and then applying it. As it is my c.v. is pretty bare compared to what I can do/know.08:24
MrChrisDruifThe course would make a fine addition to your cv08:28
bob_789thanks again08:33
