| hlubbe1 | Hello almal | 07:22 |
| kbmonkey | hi | 08:20 |
| andrewlsd | Hi kbmonkey | 08:21 |
| kbmonkey | whats up andrewlsd | 08:22 |
| kbmonkey | having troubles making a live usb k/ubuntu, it just wont boot. | 08:23 |
| andrewlsd | from CD or USB? | 08:23 |
| kbmonkey | from ISO :) | 08:24 |
| kbmonkey | boot usb | 08:24 |
| andrewlsd | suggestion. | 08:25 |
| andrewlsd | format the usb stick first | 08:25 |
| andrewlsd | to make sure there are no bits of previous installer | 08:25 |
| kbmonkey | strange thing is, the same disk boots other live distros, just not ku/ubuntu 11.04 :p | 08:25 |
| andrewlsd | ... then try doing the usb-creator | 08:25 |
| kbmonkey | I dont have usb-creator, I am running from a crunchbang linux install :D | 08:25 |
| andrewlsd | ... (aside: save yourself the pain, and go straight to 11.10) | 08:25 |
| kbmonkey | no this is for a friend, i want to setup kubuntu on his netbook. there is no CD rom drive. | 08:26 |
| andrewlsd | ... yeah. (still. 11.10 ftw) | 08:26 |
| andrewlsd | you can try "unetbootin" | 08:27 |
| andrewlsd | which is a generic app | 08:27 |
| kbmonkey | yup tried unetbootin too, doesnt detect the boot loader. | 08:27 |
| andrewlsd | aah. | 08:27 |
| kbmonkey | oh yes if I can get a copy of 11.10 that might work. 11.04 has issues with some usb disks | 08:27 |
| kbmonkey | :D | 08:27 |
| andrewlsd | dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/"usbstick" | 08:27 |
| andrewlsd | kbmonkey. Where in GP land are you | 08:27 |
| andrewlsd | I have 11.10 | 08:28 |
| andrewlsd | (as will many glugers) | 08:28 |
| andrewlsd | ... oops forgot this was ubuntu-za | 08:28 |
| kbmonkey | I used dd first, then unetbootin, then tried toggling the usb bootable flags, tried different usb sticks, even ones with smaller sizes. | 08:28 |
| andrewlsd | ... umm, still there should be many peeps that have 11.10 | 08:29 |
| kbmonkey | I'm in CT land | 08:29 |
| andrewlsd | eish. | 08:29 |
| andrewlsd | okay | 08:29 |
| andrewlsd | clug | 08:29 |
| andrewlsd | #clug on Atrum.net | 08:29 |
| kbmonkey | I _guess_ I could just install a plain vanilla debian for him, seeing as ubuntu wont boot :p | 08:29 |
| andrewlsd | am using arch on my netbook | 08:30 |
| kbmonkey | just that with windows and avg and all this crud on there, it's horrific. | 08:30 |
| kbmonkey | #! on mine :) | 08:30 |
| andrewlsd | ... yeah (wrt windows) | 08:30 |
| andrewlsd | ... arch + gnome3 ftw on my Atom n270 Aspire One | 08:30 |
| andrewlsd | ... but, arch is not "noob friendly", unless noob is willing to read much at archwiki | 08:31 |
| kbmonkey | I use openbox here | 08:31 |
| kbmonkey | bmpanel and conky | 08:31 |
| kbmonkey | and pytyle :) I like it | 08:31 |
| andrewlsd | a friend of mine just installed archbang. Loves the speed. was an "easy" intro to arch. | 08:32 |
| kbmonkey | and I recall using dd to make live usb disks without issues. just this once I'm stumped. must be murphey... | 08:32 |
| andrewlsd | dd works for fedora's hybrid iso's | 08:33 |
| andrewlsd | dd if=fedora.iso of=/dev/usbstick | 08:33 |
| andrewlsd | how about copying contents of kubuntu cd to usb | 08:34 |
| andrewlsd | on fat32 | 08:34 |
| andrewlsd | and then doing syslinux /dev/sdb1 | 08:34 |
| kbmonkey | yes I saw there is a manual way to do it | 08:34 |
| andrewlsd | (or whatever your flash stick is called) | 08:34 |
| kbmonkey | let me download the deps to do that now while I have net | 08:35 |
| kbmonkey | thank andrewlsd ! i'll try that out | 08:35 |
| andrewlsd | btw, "usb-creator" is a python GTK or QT app. so if you have the libraries you could just download, extract and run it | 08:35 |
| andrewlsd | cool | 08:36 |
| kbmonkey | my repos don't have usb-creator I guess I could build the gtk source | 08:37 |
| kbmonkey | alternatively I could install grub on the usb disk, and hack grub cfg to boot the iso directly. | 08:38 |
| kbmonkey | thanks for your help andrewlsd, have to shoot now, got a meeting | 08:39 |
| andrewlsd | cool. ciao | 08:40 |
| bakuman | another thing to remember folks, flies spread disease, so keep yours closed | 10:27 |
