[02:14] <dLimit> Morning
[07:22] <hlubbe1> Hello almal
[08:20] <kbmonkey> hi
[08:21] <andrewlsd> Hi kbmonkey
[08:22] <kbmonkey> whats up andrewlsd 
[08:23] <kbmonkey> having troubles making a live usb k/ubuntu, it just wont boot. 
[08:23] <andrewlsd> from CD or USB?
[08:24] <kbmonkey> from ISO :)
[08:24] <kbmonkey> boot usb
[08:25] <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)
[08:26] <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)
[08:27] <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
[08:28] <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.
[08:29] <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
[08:30] <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
[08:31] <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
[08:32] <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...
[08:33] <andrewlsd> dd works for fedora's hybrid iso's
[08:33] <andrewlsd> dd if=fedora.iso of=/dev/usbstick
[08:34] <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)
[08:35] <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
[08:36] <andrewlsd> cool
[08:37] <kbmonkey> my repos don't have usb-creator I guess I could build the gtk source
[08:38] <kbmonkey> alternatively I could install grub on the usb disk, and hack grub cfg to boot the iso directly. 
[08:39] <kbmonkey> thanks for your help andrewlsd, have to shoot now, got a meeting
[08:40] <andrewlsd> cool. ciao
[10:27] <bakuman> another thing to remember folks, flies spread disease, so keep yours closed
