[00:02] oh , a bit tricky [00:03] silverarrow: you should not need to do this :( [00:03] maybe it's something else then, but something is failing [00:04] 11.04 installs fine. Have you checked the md5? [00:04] no md5? [00:05] confusious say, when in doubt with install, always check md5 else will be up creek with no paddle [00:05] lol [00:06] trouble is I am not yet too good with tricky stuff [00:07] silverarrow: ensure your download and install media is okay - Or else we going to be banging our heads off the brick wall! [00:07] there should be a course on linux some where lol [00:07] I have ran the basic "test CD " [00:07] silverarrow: on the install CD, there is a 'test me' ... run it :D [00:08] you know, as one of the options during CD boot [00:08] I have done that [00:08] okay, then the CD is good. [00:08] it comes out fine [00:09] and next would be install without dowloading packages [00:09] ? [00:10] silverarrow: nope, run it as 'try without installing' - slow, I know, but it will confirm the little critter is okay. [00:10] it works fine as live CD too [00:10] I go online fine, it detects harddisk, runs applications [00:10] then, yes, without downloading will be te next step. [00:11] *be the next* [00:11] right now I have managed to install and have done the first initial booting, but with the downloadings [00:12] ...then for the reinstallation [00:12] see you later perhaps, or something :- ) [00:12] do not do the downloads... just put the virgin system on. [00:13] got it [01:30] Hello! [01:30] Can Lubuntu be run off of a CD, [01:30] like Ubuntu? [01:30] (Live CD) [01:31] Thanks! [01:34] JDK: of course.. [01:34] Thanks! [01:34] or if you can boot a USB, you can put the ISO on a USB, and boot it. [01:34] Once again, Thanks!

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

I thought that was sorted? [07:53] I dont think so [07:57] 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? [07:58] bioterror: os-prober? [08:00] it should be resolved [08:02] bioterror: Note: This issue existed in 10.10 but should no longer occur in Lubuntu 11.04. [08:02] should not [08:02] I'm not judging the fix with single case [08:02] is it still a problem? [09:06] so, how do I get any sound in lubuntu? [09:06] alsmixer is acting up [11:42] Hello. Is any one here? [11:44] * phillw yes [11:50] 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] Any advice is MUCH appreciated. [11:54] Hello, Hyper. [11:58] phil_ what version of lubuntu are you running? [12:02] phillw, sudo apt-get clean [12:03] bioterror: he left! [12:03] :D [12:03] I guess my questuion was too difficult [13:28] someone recommended a disc checking tool the other day, but I cannot find it again googleing for it [13:28] I finally figured out how to burn on the mac [13:29] silverarrow: i believe it was me speaking about the UBCD: http://www.ultimatebootcd.com [13:30] oh, thanks [13:30] I have to get to the bottom of this trouble [13:31] I booted in Fedora, because it has a inbuilt disk check application, but I don't know how good it is [13:53] the ultimate cd looks very promising [13:54] what is it? [13:54] oh sorry [13:55] ultimate boot cd [13:55] it a bootable cd that checks just about everything on the computer, [13:55] cpu, hard disk, .... [13:57] I didn't even know there was such a tool until a couple of days ago [13:57] or perhaps it was yesterday [13:58] 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 [13:59] *bundle [14:01] :- ) [14:16] on the mac dowload is really messed up [14:17] of the ultimate boot cd I mean [14:17] here on the lubuntu, and in chromium, download link is easily visible [14:18] in the mac, in safari, there are tons of commercials where the download starter link should be [14:18] major hassle to find a working mirror [14:41] avelldiroll, how did you burn the ubcd? [14:42] I have trouble choosing the correct iso image [14:43] rather a daunting task choosing the right folder [14:49] how do I identify the correct folder to burn to CD? [14:49] do I burn the whole download thing to CD? [14:51] there's tons of FAQ on the UBCD homepage, but darn little on these details [14:51] nothing at all actually [14:52] identify silverlightning [15:02] hi pip [15:12] but seriously, any tip on burning iso images, on how to identify correct folders? === silverarrow is now known as halfevil333 === halfevil333 is now known as silverarrow === bioterror is now known as double_super_buz === double_super_buz is now known as DOUBLESUPERBUZZ === DOUBLESUPERBUZZ is now known as bioterror === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D [18:52] I have checke my HD and it comes of squeeky clean [18:53] what makes lubuntu act up then? sort of deteriorate after a couple of months [20:22] Loving the work with this flavour! =D === P4R4N01D1 is now known as P4R4N01D
