| holstein | philipballew_: that has not worked for me | 07:13 |
| holstein | like PPC or something like that? | 07:13 |
| philipballew_ | holstein, kinda, its hppa proccessor | 07:14 |
| philipballew_ | off a hp-ux system | 07:14 |
| holstein | philipballew_: im not familiar, but i think its going to depend on the kernel right? | 07:15 |
| holstein | philipballew_: im heading out to sleep... o/ | 07:15 |
| philipballew_ | maybe. Oh well. | 07:16 |
| philipballew_ | I might install via floppy | 07:16 |
| holstein | good luck though... i think if it needs a special/different kernel, it wont boot on the 'host' machine | 07:16 |
| holstein | mabye you could build it there though... i mean, its linux right? anything is possible... | 07:17 |
| holstein | not sure where to look for that though | 07:17 |
| holstein | philipballew_: no network? for a netboot? | 07:17 |
| philipballew_ | holstein, not sure I know how to do that | 07:18 |
| holstein | philipballew_: also, check out PLOP... http://www.plop.at/ | 07:19 |
| philipballew_ | alright. ill look tonight | 07:19 |
| holstein | i boot USB for unetbootin on things that wont boot USB :) | 07:19 |
| holstein | anyways... good evening o/ | 07:19 |
| philipballew_ | OKAY! eat lots of turky tomorow | 07:20 |
| RgCz | Hi, i need a little help here with a partition i have to install ubuntu. Can anyone help me out please? | 07:22 |
| RgCz | I have an 80 gb free space partition, with no format right now. Can i install ubuntu directly into it? | 07:23 |
| RgCz | Oh hi there, holstein lol. | 07:23 |
| philipballew_ | RgCz, Lets look at this | 07:31 |
| philipballew_ | you can install and the Ubuntu installer will format that partition and install ubuntu just fine | 07:32 |
| RgCz | Ok, right now im looking at the create a new partition screen | 07:33 |
| RgCz | i selected the 80 gb one | 07:33 |
| RgCz | if i remember well, i need to have a boot, swap, / and /home partition insde that one right? | 07:34 |
| RgCz | Right now the installer marks those 80 gb as free space and gparted marks it as unallocated | 07:34 |
| philipballew_ | RgCz, ubuntu should do that for you unless you do it all manually | 07:34 |
| philipballew_ | you dont even need to partition before you install. you can do that mid install | 07:35 |
| RgCz | Yeah, that would been useful to know before partitoning. I could relocate those 80 gb but i dont know if ubuntu could take away some other 80 gb from my orginal disk. | 07:37 |
| RgCz | This partition has to be formatted as ext4? | 07:37 |
| philipballew_ | it can be. i would start the instalation and see if you need to do any partiioning, but i think you'll be fine | 07:38 |
| RgCz | ok. About the home, boot and swap, do i need to manually set up those partitions or will the installer set up those for me? | 07:39 |
| philipballew_ | It will do it all for you | 07:39 |
| RgCz | Oh ok. And the partition i have, can it be logical? Or it needs to be primary? | 07:40 |
| RgCz | And if its a dual boot, which device should i use for boot loader my windows (630 gb) or my ubuntu one( 80 gb) | 07:41 |
| RgCz | I tried to click install but it tells he i have no root drive selected | 07:46 |
| RgCz | So do i reformat the 80 gb as ext 4 and mount it as / | 07:46 |
| RgCz | ? | 07:46 |
| philipballew_ | what type of installer are you using? | 07:47 |
| RgCz | im using UNEtbooting | 07:48 |
| RgCz | because i dont have cds or usbs to work with | 07:48 |
| philipballew_ | so that makes usb's? | 07:49 |
| philipballew_ | unless you mean something different | 07:49 |
| RgCz | Well theres an option to install it to your hard drive and then run it from the booting screen | 07:50 |
| RgCz | it takes me up to a functional ubuntu installer and ubuntu running in the back | 07:50 |
| philipballew_ | hum. i would not know | 07:51 |
| RgCz | Well my main purpose was to install ubuntu studio, but that cd didnt detect my partition | 07:58 |
| RgCz | haven't tried with the free space though, ima try it | 07:58 |

| DeadKings | Anyone feel like hand holding a complete nOOb through a package install. I need to install crafty 23.4 to a specific folder and am clueless | 14:49 |
| DeadKings | In fact I tried the built in get app and it installed it but I could not find it anywhere, to even run it much less move it | 14:50 |
| geirha | DeadKings: You mean you installed it with apt-get install crafty ? | 15:04 |
| geirha | dpkg -L crafty will show all the files it installed. | 15:05 |
| geirha | It installs an executable /usr/games/crafty, which means you can just type crafty in your terminal to run it. | 15:06 |
| geirha | Unless you've removed /usr/games from your PATH variable. | 15:07 |
| Sidewinder1 | geirha, He/she's currently getting help in #u for the situation.. | 15:16 |
