=== locobot_2_2 is now known as locobot_2 [05:38] * nlsthzn waves [06:00] Good Morning all [06:00] :-D [06:00] Lovelly sunshine day in Vanderbijlpark [06:13] n8wulf: Cool... nice sunshine day in the desert too... 9 in the morning and 34 degC outside... [07:28] Morning guys [07:33] morning [07:41] heya sakhi_ [07:41] How you doing today? [07:41] Kilos says morning as well, he is just installing kubuntu on another drive. [07:43] wolfeyes: Cool... say hi from me to uncle Kilos :) [07:44] Hi nlsthzn [07:44] His pc won't run unity, it doesn't have the hardware. [07:44] sucks... there is a 2-d version that can be used btw... [07:45] I am just looking for some kind if program to try improve the working of software to hardware on mine. [07:45] It gave him the option to run Classic Ubuntu. [07:47] wolfeyes: at the moment the 2d has to be installed seperatly... it will become default fall-back for 11.10 [07:48] Ok ty. [07:48] I told him, answer "Oh" lol. [07:50] wolfeyes: hehe... but Kubuntu is also pretty solid... however I suspect he won't get the most eye-candy going as KDE is more resource hungry than Gnome (with exception of Unity now obviously) === sdehaan_ is now known as sdehaan [07:53] Are you using KDE nlsthzn ? [07:54] wolfeyes: I was until a day or two ago... I am a chronic distro hopper :/ Back on Unity at the moment... but Kubuntu is pretty solid in 11.04 [07:55] i see [08:03] wolfeyes: it is a curse... my primary use of my laptop if installing linux :p [08:04] Lol. [08:14] Geesh, I just went into my ubuntu forums account, I am 3 days away from going in there a year ago. [08:14] nlsthzn, kilos is installing xubuntu now. [08:14] wolfeyes: :) closest thing to gnome 2.x [08:15] Can't believe that was how long ago I had my computer last. [08:15] wolfeyes: now that I think about it, I am sure I have seen you over on ubuntu forums :) [08:15] :-P [08:16] yeah, just looking for info before I ask the guys for help, will got to launchpad next. [08:16] 4th time lucky with my pw as well, nearly forgot that. [08:21] wolfeyes: here are some screenshots of all my hopping :p http://www.flickr.com/photos/59930315@N03/sets/72157626124571449/ [08:21] can't log in to update with my latest at the moment :/ [08:21] nlsthzn, what would the right terminolgy be for trying to find out what is slowing the system down when there is a clash between software and hardware, Debugging maybe...? [08:21] * wolfeyes goes to look. [08:23] wolfeyes: sounds more like you should call it a "configuration problem" or "possible driver issue" ... not sure, guess it depends on what the actual problem is :p [08:23] That looks pretty awesome. [08:23] * wolfeyes nodz. [08:24] * wolfeyes searches further. [08:24] All of the screenshots are from my laptop... core 2 with intel gfx... nothing over powerful [08:28] Looks awesome. [08:28] wolfeyes: thanks :) [08:29] latest http://www.flickr.com/photos/59930315@N03/5735757517/in/photostream :) [08:33] * wolfeyes goes to look. [08:34] :/ ah crap, "untity --replace" not getting me out of trouble this time... seems I am going to do that windows thing real quick... brb [10:21] hiya superfly and everyone else [10:22] hi Kilos [10:48] hello [15:12] hi all [15:31] Heya panphried [15:32] howsit [15:32] Anyone know how to burn a iso to usb stick? [15:33] yes. theres a tool that ubuntu includes by default [15:33] Found a program to mount it but I am not sure if this is or means the same thing! [15:34] Read a lot about putting a boot sector in there as well, but geesh battling to do that. [15:35] might not be by default anymore. 1 sec [15:35] startup disk creator -- in system-admin-.. [15:36] still there by default [15:37] I got a iso retreived to desktop, the startup disk creator doesn't even see it on desktop panphried . [15:38] wolfeyes: the iso file is saved on desktop? [15:39] I extracted it to desktop if I am not mistaken. [15:39] Still trying to get all this terminology right. [15:40] wolfeyes: dont extract the iso .. just copy it there. or point StartupDiskCreator to the location that houses the actual ISO [15:41] Ok let me try that. [15:41] k [15:44] Extraction file nowhere to be seen again, just downloading it again. [15:47] Ok grrr got it in the tmp file. [15:47] wolfeyes: you want to point startupdiskcreator to the iso file [15:49] Back to my original problem. [15:51] I got to the tmp folder or dir (not sure which one) and it only see's the other dir, no files or compressed files! [15:51] wolfeyes: verify that the iso is actuallly there first [15:52] I can see it in the folder view [15:52] the file with extension .iso [15:52] I have just extracted it too. [15:53] Ok now I sit in the same possition as I did earlier. [15:53] one sec, let me see if theres an issue with usb-creator - [15:53] wolfeyes: what version of ubuntu u using? [15:54] Now I can see the .iso file and in the "MSD" under cd images it see's the iso image but when I click on it , it won't see it in the program. [15:54] 10.10 Maverick. [15:55] and what iso are you trying to urn? [15:55] burn [15:55] If I make it into disk images it doesn't see the iso image. [15:56] Stresslinux-0.3.1.iso [15:56] Program for testing hardware etc on the computer. [15:56] Unless you got anything better for me, I been hunting all day. [15:58] no, StressLinux should be fine .. do you have your usb drive plugged in [15:58] I tried looking for linux bios drivers for my Gigabyte mb and found nothing 2 years ago and now upon looking they have advanced the software but nothing for ubuntu. [15:58] yes [16:06] wolfeyes: try installing UNetbootin - and using it instead of StartupDiskCreator [16:07] its in the software center [16:07] * wolfeyes goes to look, I tried that from the site to no success, but let me try the centre. [16:11] Ok got it installed and open. [16:15] Ok I have left the top half and worked on the bottom half of UNetbootin, got the iso with the path, then at the bottom usb drive , should I press ok ? :-0 [16:16] Ok first let me get this straight, this will create a bootable sector in the usb with the image I inserted? [16:16] wolfeyes: select Diskimage [16:16] ok [16:16] then select path to iso there [16:16] then select drive [16:16] Done that [16:17] then u should be good to go [16:17] press ok [16:17] Cool [16:17] * wolfeyes counts down... [16:17] Grrrrrrr [16:18] bad news? [16:18] Now I have to reformat the usb in FAT32. [16:18] lol. k [16:22] Be with you in a sec... [16:22] i've got to run to a meeting. will be back in 30mins or so [16:23] Ok cool no problem and thank you.
