| Silent_Samurai | How do I access "Networking Connections"? | 07:22 |
| Silent_Samurai | It vanished from my top right... | 07:22 |
| bioterror | type in launcher nm-applet | 07:23 |
| bioterror | or even better, type it into terminal | 07:23 |
| Silent_Samurai | I'll try that later. | 07:25 |
| Silent_Samurai | Damn dual boot | 07:25 |
| Silent_Samurai | bioterror, http://paste.ubuntu.com/620661/ | 08:49 |
| bioterror | seems like you have it running | 08:50 |
| bioterror | so where's the icon :D | 08:51 |
| Silent_Samurai | This is my whole problem :-X | 08:51 |
| Silent_Samurai | Is there some way I can kill the process? | 08:53 |
| Silent_Samurai | Then use nm-applet again? | 08:53 |
| bioterror | I assume you're using regular ubuntu | 08:54 |
| bioterror | I have no idea how it works now days | 08:54 |
| Silent_Samurai | 10.04.1 64bit LTS | 08:55 |

| Guest32909 | Trying to install Server 10.4 onto a system with an Intel D946GZ1S Motherboard. Install hangs at Disc Partitioner. Any suggestions? | 16:57 |
| holstein | Guest32909: i would try getting a normal 10.04 live CD | 16:58 |
| holstein | see if you can get to the desktop, and run the disk test while you are there | 16:58 |
| holstein | also, you could partition with something else and see if it installs.. ive used the 10.04 install disk though and all as well | 16:59 |
| Guest32909 | I ran the disk test successfully, I have the same result with the 11.04 disks as well | 16:59 |
| holstein | Guest32909: you can get to a live destop though? with one of the normal desktop CD's? | 17:02 |
| Guest32909 | I'll try, it. | 17:03 |
| holstein | Guest32909: theres a commandline only install option on the 10.04 live CD | 17:03 |
| holstein | im not sure whats hanging up the partitioner though, thats odd | 17:04 |
| holstein | Guest32909: whats up with the drives? raid? | 17:04 |
| Guest32909 | I used the expert method and thats where it stopped. I not using raid, just Serial ATA | 17:05 |
| holstein | yeah, that *should* be just fine... | 17:05 |
| holstein | Guest32909: in the spirit of troubleshooting, i wouuld probably try installing with a normal desktop CD | 17:05 |
| Guest32909 | Its crazy, I know, it should just install..... I'll download the desktop cd and try again | 17:06 |
| holstein | Guest32909: im definetly not seeing any red flags | 17:07 |
| holstein | sata on intel hardware... that should be A-ok | 17:07 |
| Guest32909 | Is there something in the bios I should be looking for? | 17:07 |
| holstein | Guest32909: thats plausible | 17:08 |
| holstein | if its seeing the hardware though (the hard drive) and booting the CD... | 17:08 |
| Guest32909 | Booting from CD yes, I never get confirmation on the drives. The BIOS shows they are active | 17:09 |
| holstein | Guest32909: you mean in the installer? | 17:13 |
| Guest32909 | yes | 17:14 |
| holstein | Guest32909: how about this... i would get something with Gparted on it, and really zero the drives | 17:14 |
| holstein | or drive... assuming its not new | 17:14 |
| holstein | other than that... im not sure whats up other than a hardware issue... something with the motherboard or bios like you are thinking | 17:14 |
| holstein | Guest32909: get something running live and run | 17:15 |
| holstein | sudo fdisk -l | 17:15 |
| holstein | in a terminal... you should see the hard drive and partitions listed there | 17:15 |
| * holstein gotta run... BBL | 17:15 | |
| Guest32909 | Thanks for your help! | 17:16 |

| TheRevRuss | ubuntu noob looking for some help on a simple solution to do incremental backups from a file server to an external USB drive | 22:21 |
| TheRevRuss | I'm looking for some help setting up a simple automatic backup to a USB drive on an Ubuntu file server | 22:28 |
| holstein | TheRevRuss: hey | 22:32 |
| TheRevRuss | @holstein hey | 22:32 |
| holstein | check out http://backintime.le-web.org/ | 22:32 |
| holstein | TheRevRuss: if your not on a GUI, you'll just want an rsync script | 22:35 |
| holstein | personally, i just back up the files i want manually | 22:35 |
| holstein | im not interested in doing an image backup | 22:35 |
| TheRevRuss | @holstein - I'm not interested in imaging either. I was just hoping for an automatic solution because this system just sits there hosting files. | 22:36 |
| holstein | yup | 22:36 |
| holstein | a shell script | 22:36 |
| holstein | rsync | 22:36 |
| TheRevRuss | that was one I saw too. I'm a linux noob but not a complete computer novice. Just got overwhelmed by all the available options. | 22:37 |
| TheRevRuss | that one looked like a fairly good option. Would I use cron to run the script on a schedule then? | 22:38 |
| holstein | AFAIK, you can use what you would like | 22:38 |
| TheRevRuss | what would you recommend to auto run the script, say, daily? | 22:40 |
| holstein | TheRevRuss: i havent needed to set that up personally, so i can only go on the fact that cron would be my first guess | 22:42 |
| TheRevRuss | @holstein - alright, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the help! | 22:45 |
| holstein | TheRevRuss: sure... good luck :) | 22:45 |
| holstein | stick around too, im sure someone with that experience will come along | 22:46 |
| TheRevRuss | from what I'm seeing, I think you're right - it's a simple solution at least for now. | 22:47 |
