| silverarrow | oh , a bit tricky | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| phillw | silverarrow: you should not need to do this :( | 00:03 |
| silverarrow | maybe it's something else then, but something is failing | 00:03 |
| phillw | 11.04 installs fine. Have you checked the md5? | 00:04 |
| silverarrow | no md5? | 00:04 |
| phillw | confusious say, when in doubt with install, always check md5 else will be up creek with no paddle | 00:05 |
| silverarrow | lol | 00:05 |
| silverarrow | trouble is I am not yet too good with tricky stuff | 00:06 |
| phillw | silverarrow: ensure your download and install media is okay - Or else we going to be banging our heads off the brick wall! | 00:07 |
| silverarrow | there should be a course on linux some where lol | 00:07 |
| silverarrow | I have ran the basic "test CD " | 00:07 |
| phillw | silverarrow: on the install CD, there is a 'test me' ... run it :D | 00:07 |
| silverarrow | you know, as one of the options during CD boot | 00:08 |
| silverarrow | I have done that | 00:08 |
| phillw | okay, then the CD is good. | 00:08 |
| silverarrow | it comes out fine | 00:08 |
| silverarrow | and next would be install without dowloading packages | 00:09 |
| silverarrow | ? | 00:09 |
| phillw | silverarrow: nope, run it as 'try without installing' - slow, I know, but it will confirm the little critter is okay. | 00:10 |
| silverarrow | it works fine as live CD too | 00:10 |
| silverarrow | I go online fine, it detects harddisk, runs applications | 00:10 |
| phillw | then, yes, without downloading will be te next step. | 00:10 |
| phillw | *be the next* | 00:11 |
| silverarrow | right now I have managed to install and have done the first initial booting, but with the downloadings | 00:11 |
| silverarrow | ...then for the reinstallation | 00:12 |
| silverarrow | see you later perhaps, or something :- ) | 00:12 |
| phillw | do not do the downloads... just put the virgin system on. | 00:12 |
| silverarrow | got it | 00:13 |
| JDK | Hello! | 01:30 |

| silverarrow | any grub experts here? | 05:18 |
| bioterror | we all are | 05:18 |
| silverarrow | good | 05:18 |
| bioterror | Unit193 is even better than I am with the Grub | 05:18 |
| Unit193 | Riiiight... ;) | 05:19 |
| silverarrow | I have a newly installed lubuntu, and when I boot I get stuck on a message "GNU Grub version 1.99" and something like "line bash like editing supported" and suggestions for how to complete comands | 05:20 |
| bioterror | what have you done?! | 05:20 |
| silverarrow | I don't know, and I cannot figure the reason for the problem | 05:21 |
| bioterror | tried to recover grub? | 05:21 |
| silverarrow | no | 05:21 |
| bioterror | !grub2 | silverarrow | 05:21 |
| ubot5 | silverarrow: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows?

| silverarrow | trouble is, I get this every time I install lubuntu, first boot after initial install boots fine, but second after the first update goes wrong | 05:22 |
| bioterror | really | 05:23 |
| bioterror | bad lubuntu! | 05:23 |
| bioterror | grub2 is the root of all iivyl! | 05:24 |
| silverarrow | it is? | 05:26 |
| silverarrow | trouble is, I cannot read the page in live cd | 05:26 |
| silverarrow | I need to get on a different computer | 05:26 |
| silverarrow | downloading | 05:33 |
| silverarrow | I am forced to work with a mac, | 05:33 |
| silverarrow | I hope it burns easo fine | 05:33 |
| silverarrow | bioterror, how do I choose correct file in the download+ | 05:43 |
| silverarrow | ? | 05:43 |
| silverarrow | not easy to identify the actual iso image | 05:44 |
| bioterror | what | 05:44 |
| bioterror | you take 11.04 | 05:45 |
| silverarrow | what? | 05:45 |
| silverarrow | I haven't manged to burn rescatux yet | 05:48 |
| silverarrow | and it is verson 0.29 or something like that | 05:49 |
| silverarrow | I have four folders, and one is called iso one is calle live | 05:49 |
| silverarrow | when opening rescatux dowload folder I mean | 05:50 |
| bioterror | you dont need rescatux or anything | 05:51 |
| bioterror | just boot your lubuntu livecd and chroot into installation | 05:51 |
| silverarrow | whay didn't you say that right away | 05:51 |
| silverarrow | I am live cd now | 05:52 |
| silverarrow | the mac is in the library, and I am in the kitchen, running to and from lol | 05:52 |
| silverarrow | from terminal? | 05:53 |
| bioterror | yes | 05:53 |
| silverarrow | sigh | 05:54 |
| silverarrow | horror | 05:55 |
| silverarrow | bioterror, when choosing file for burning, do I choose the entire dowloads folder of rescatux? | 05:58 |
| bioterror | usually you born .iso files if you want to boot them | 05:59 |
| bioterror | born :D | 05:59 |
| bioterror | burn | 05:59 |
| silverarrow | ...how to identify | 05:59 |
| bioterror | if you want to make regular data cd, then you burn whole folders | 05:59 |
| silverarrow | well, I want fix grub | 06:01 |
| silverarrow | never mind, I shall take a chance on one of them | 06:01 |
| silverarrow | two potential choises; one folder "live" or "isolinux" | 06:06 |
| silverarrow | only 10.000 steps to read through to figure things out | 06:08 |
| silverarrow | arg | 06:08 |
| silverarrow | any suggestions on how to go about this? | 06:13 |
| bioterror | mount that partition, chroot into it and fix your grub ;) | 06:17 |
| silverarrow | I cannot mount the drive | 06:19 |
| bioterror | why? | 06:19 |

| silverarrow | <ubuntu> hi | 06:19 |
| silverarrow | * You are now known | 06:19 |
| silverarrow | can't find sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 06:20 |
| silverarrow | weird copying and pasting there | 06:20 |
| bioterror | sudo mount /dev/sdaX /mnt/ | 06:20 |
| bioterror | sudo chroot /mnt/ /bin/bash | 06:21 |
| bioterror | and ofcourse they want you to mount some other stuff too | 06:21 |
| bioterror | ;) | 06:21 |
| silverarrow | special device /dev/sdaX does not exist | 06:22 |
| bioterror | some common sense now | 06:22 |
| bioterror | read the guide | 06:23 |
| bioterror | !grub | 06:23 |

| silverarrow | I'm not shore I have common sense when it comes to linux | 06:23 |
| silverarrow | It's more erratic and random | 06:23 |
| bioterror | read that restoregrub | 06:23 |
| silverarrow | ...starts saving up for new laptop, | 06:24 |
| silverarrow | ....throws old one out the window | 06:25 |

| === resc_user_2664 is now known as silverarrow | ||
| silverarrow | I managed to boot in rescatux | 06:43 |
| bioterror | good | 06:43 |
| silverarrow | it even has xchat | 06:43 |
| bioterror | now you just need to understand how that program works :D | 06:43 |
| silverarrow | yeah, but a bit easier to fiddle around with than termnial | 06:44 |
| silverarrow | thanks for the rescatux tip | 06:44 |
| silverarrow | thanks bioterror | 07:31 |
| silverarrow | computer booted fine after rescatex | 07:31 |
| bioterror | good | 07:32 |
| silverarrow | rescatux works idiotproofly | 07:32 |
| silverarrow | I have a suspicion it was grub error all along | 07:33 |
| silverarrow | even the first booting trouble I had | 07:33 |
| silverarrow | I was on a wild goose chaise for hard ware failure, hard ware incompatibilities, system brake down | 07:34 |
| silverarrow | it turns out grub errors can make hard drive undetectable at boot up | 07:35 |
| phillw | bioterror: seems like a bug related to os-prober? I thought that was sorted? | 07:53 |
| bioterror | I dont think so | 07:53 |
| phillw | bioterror: it is on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ is it still an outstanding bug? I thought it had been resolved in a bug fix? | 07:57 |
| phillw | bioterror: os-prober? | 07:58 |
| bioterror | it should be resolved | 08:00 |
| phillw | bioterror: Note: This issue existed in 10.10 but should no longer occur in Lubuntu 11.04. | 08:02 |
| bioterror | should not | 08:02 |
| bioterror | I'm not judging the fix with single case | 08:02 |
| phillw | is it still a problem? | 08:02 |
| silverarrow | so, how do I get any sound in lubuntu? | 09:06 |
| silverarrow | alsmixer is acting up | 09:06 |
| phil_ | Hello. Is any one here? | 11:42 |
| * phillw yes | 11:44 | |
| phil_ | Sorry. I was away for a few. Anyway, I'm having a few problems concerning Lubuntu... :( I have deleted some files but the space is still being taken up... I have no idea what to do. | 11:50 |
| phil_ | Any advice is MUCH appreciated. | 11:50 |
| phil_ | Hello, Hyper. | 11:54 |
| phillw | phil_ what version of lubuntu are you running? | 11:58 |
| bioterror | phillw, sudo apt-get clean | 12:02 |
| phillw | bioterror: he left! | 12:03 |
| bioterror | :D | 12:03 |
| phillw | I guess my questuion was too difficult | 12:03 |
| silverarrow | someone recommended a disc checking tool the other day, but I cannot find it again googleing for it | 13:28 |
| silverarrow | I finally figured out how to burn on the mac | 13:28 |
| avelldiroll | silverarrow: i believe it was me speaking about the UBCD: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com | 13:29 |
| silverarrow | oh, thanks | 13:30 |
| silverarrow | I have to get to the bottom of this trouble | 13:30 |
| silverarrow | I booted in Fedora, because it has a inbuilt disk check application, but I don't know how good it is | 13:31 |
| silverarrow | the ultimate cd looks very promising | 13:53 |
| KM0201 | what is it? | 13:54 |
| silverarrow | oh sorry | 13:54 |
| silverarrow | ultimate boot cd | 13:55 |
| silverarrow | it a bootable cd that checks just about everything on the computer, | 13:55 |
| silverarrow | cpu, hard disk, .... | 13:55 |
| silverarrow | I didn't even know there was such a tool until a couple of days ago | 13:57 |
| silverarrow | or perhaps it was yesterday | 13:57 |
| avelldiroll | it mainly provide all the manufacturers' checking tools in one nice bunde, no need to dig some obnoxious manufacturer website in search for the right tool to check your warranty | 13:58 |
| avelldiroll | *bundle | 13:59 |
| silverarrow | :- ) | 14:01 |
| silverarrow | on the mac dowload is really messed up | 14:16 |
| silverarrow | of the ultimate boot cd I mean | 14:17 |
| silverarrow | here on the lubuntu, and in chromium, download link is easily visible | 14:17 |
| silverarrow | in the mac, in safari, there are tons of commercials where the download starter link should be | 14:18 |
| silverarrow | major hassle to find a working mirror | 14:18 |
| silverarrow | avelldiroll, how did you burn the ubcd? | 14:41 |
| silverarrow | I have trouble choosing the correct iso image | 14:42 |
| silverarrow | rather a daunting task choosing the right folder | 14:43 |
| silverarrow | how do I identify the correct folder to burn to CD? | 14:49 |
| silverarrow | do I burn the whole download thing to CD? | 14:49 |
| silverarrow | there's tons of FAQ on the UBCD homepage, but darn little on these details | 14:51 |
| silverarrow | nothing at all actually | 14:51 |
| silverarrow | identify silverlightning | 14:52 |
| silverarrow | hi pip | 15:02 |
| silverarrow | but seriously, any tip on burning iso images, on how to identify correct folders? | 15:12 |
