[00:11] <thewrath> hey all!
[02:11] <BigMac> i just installed ubuntu 11.04, but near the end of the installation i got the message "unable to install bootloader" so i chose to proceed without installing the bootloader, and when the install process was finished, i was prompted to reboot, only to find that i got booted into windows, how do i solve this?
[05:28] <LinLex> hey what's the best way of getting involved with ubuntu?
[05:39] <bioterror> LinLex, lots od different kind of ways
[05:39] <bioterror> im doing user support and bug hunting on devel releases
[05:40] <bioterror> and spreading the word
[07:22] <Silent_Samurai> How do I access "Networking Connections"?
[07:22] <Silent_Samurai> It vanished from my top right...
[07:23] <bioterror> type in launcher nm-applet
[07:23] <bioterror> or even better, type it into terminal
[07:25] <Silent_Samurai> I'll try that later.
[07:25] <Silent_Samurai> Damn dual boot
[08:49] <Silent_Samurai> bioterror, http://paste.ubuntu.com/620661/
[08:50] <bioterror> seems like you have it running
[08:51] <bioterror> so where's the icon :D
[08:51] <Silent_Samurai> This is my whole problem :-X
[08:53] <Silent_Samurai> Is there some way I can kill the process?
[08:53] <Silent_Samurai> Then use nm-applet again?
[08:54] <bioterror> I assume you're using regular ubuntu
[08:54] <bioterror> I have no idea how it works now days
[08:55] <Silent_Samurai> 10.04.1 64bit LTS
[08:56] <bioterror> you have another icons showing?
[09:02] <Silent_Samurai> Bluetooth, mail and volume.
[09:12] <Silent_Samurai> ?

[16:57] <Guest32909> Trying to install Server 10.4 onto a system with an Intel D946GZ1S Motherboard. Install hangs at Disc Partitioner. Any suggestions?
[16:58] <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
[16:59] <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
[17:02] <holstein> Guest32909: you can get to a live destop though? with one of the normal desktop CD's?
[17:03] <Guest32909> I'll try, it.
[17:03] <holstein> Guest32909: theres a commandline only install option on the 10.04 live CD
[17:04] <holstein> im not sure whats hanging up the partitioner though, thats odd
[17:04] <holstein> Guest32909: whats up with the drives? raid?
[17:05] <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
[17:06] <Guest32909> Its crazy, I know, it should just install..... I'll download the desktop cd and try again
[17:07] <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?
[17:08] <holstein> Guest32909: thats plausible
[17:08] <holstein> if its seeing the hardware though (the hard drive) and booting the CD...
[17:09] <Guest32909> Booting from CD yes, I never get confirmation on the drives. The BIOS shows they are active
[17:13] <holstein> Guest32909: you mean in the installer?
[17:14] <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
[17:15] <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
[17:16] <Guest32909> Thanks for your help!
[19:27] <Guest32909> hello holstein??

[22:21] <TheRevRuss> ubuntu noob looking for some help on a simple solution to do incremental backups from a file server to an external USB drive
[22:28] <TheRevRuss> I'm looking for some help setting up a simple automatic backup to a USB drive on an Ubuntu file server
[22:32] <holstein> TheRevRuss: hey
[22:32] <TheRevRuss> @holstein hey
[22:32] <holstein> check out http://backintime.le-web.org/
[22:35] <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
[22:36] <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
[22:37] <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.
[22:38] <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
[22:40] <TheRevRuss> what would you recommend to auto run the script, say, daily?
[22:42] <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
[22:45] <TheRevRuss> @holstein - alright, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the help!
[22:45] <holstein> TheRevRuss: sure... good luck :)
[22:46] <holstein> stick around too, im sure someone with that experience will come along
[22:47] <TheRevRuss> from what I'm seeing, I think you're right - it's a simple solution at least for now.
