| head_victim | I'm looking around at cheap ebay pci>sata cards, has anyone had any experience? Should these "just work" or are there chipsets to avoid? | 07:20 |
|---|---|---|
| ajcullen | Ubuntu says i have low disc space | 10:37 |
| sagaci | go to nautilus and check how much space is in the / directory and your home directory | 10:39 |
| ajcullen | Free space 2.9gb home? | 10:49 |
| ajcullen | If i downloaded something would it go into home? | 10:49 |
| sagaci | well what does it say under your / directory | 10:50 |
| sagaci | ajcullen: yeah generally a browser download would be under ~/Downloads | 10:51 |
| sagaci | unless you used wget, which would usually be in the folder you run it from, maybe just ~/ | 10:51 |
| ajcullen | Its 2.9 have i installed it wrong? | 10:53 |
| sagaci | are you dual-booting? | 10:53 |
| ajcullen | Yep | 10:54 |
| sagaci | how much did you shrink your windows (i'm assuming) partition? | 10:54 |
| ajcullen | Bout 120gb for ubuntu | 10:55 |
| ajcullen | Did advanced off a tutorial | 10:55 |
| sagaci | doesn't sound right | 10:55 |
| ajcullen | Can someone link me a tutorial to get it right? | 10:56 |
| sagaci | can you pastebin df -h | 10:56 |
| ajcullen | Sure | 10:56 |
| sagaci | are you on 11.10? | 10:57 |
| ajcullen | Yep | 10:58 |
| ajcullen | How do i show u my pastebin? | 11:00 |
| sagaci | copy the url into here | 11:00 |
| sagaci | http://paste.ubuntu.com/11111 something like that | 11:00 |
| sagaci | assuming you've used paste.ubuntu.com | 11:01 |
| ajcullen | http://pastebin.com/crZkjWXE | 11:01 |
| ajcullen | Cool | 11:01 |
| ajcullen | Take it ubuntu is more of a fixer upper than just starting a fresh with problems | 11:03 |
| sagaci | what guide did you use? | 11:05 |
| ajcullen | Cant remember one off the net lol | 11:05 |
| sagaci | ah, you installed via wubi? | 11:05 |
| ajcullen | Yep | 11:06 |
| ajcullen | And did an advanced | 11:06 |
| sagaci | eh, I haven't used wubi since 2008 maybe once or twice, what version of windows are you dual-booting with | 11:06 |
| ajcullen | 7 pro | 11:07 |
| ajcullen | Theres an advanced partitioning tool | 11:07 |
| sagaci | but, iirc, it's not actually partitioning, it's just a windows file | 11:08 |
| ajcullen | What should i do | 11:08 |
| sagaci | here's an idea, ditch wubi, shrink your disk from windows 7, download/use unetbootin to "burn" the iso to a USB stick, reboot, choose USB at bios and manually partition | 11:08 |
| ajcullen | Okay | 11:09 |
| ajcullen | Is there a guide i should follow | 11:09 |
| sagaci | as for deleting wubi... | 11:09 |
| sagaci | I can guide you if you've got time | 11:10 |
| ajcullen | Should i download ubuntu iso | 11:10 |
| sagaci | yep, are you with bigpond, optus or internode, iinet? | 11:10 |
| ajcullen | Dunno at internet cafe | 11:11 |
| sagaci | ah ok | 11:11 |
| sagaci | is 700mb an issue? | 11:11 |
| ajcullen | Playing cod 2 got my laptop open with ubuntu and irc ing on my xoom | 11:11 |
| ajcullen | Narh i am torrenting lion lol | 11:11 |
| sagaci | 700mb download, that is | 11:11 |
| sagaci | -.- | 11:11 |
| ajcullen | Lol | 11:12 |
| sagaci | assuming you want 64-bit - http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/ubuntu/releases/11.10/ubuntu-11.10-desktop-amd64.iso | 11:12 |
| sagaci | you'll want to download that in your windows 7 install | 11:12 |
| ajcullen | Cool just a sec | 11:13 |
| sagaci | and also - http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/unetbootin/UNetbootin/563/unetbootin-windows-563.exe?r=http%3A%2F%2Funetbootin.sourceforge.net%2F&ts=1323429199&use_mirror=internode | 11:13 |
| sagaci | in your windows 7 install too | 11:13 |
| ajcullen | Whats that one? | 11:13 |
| sagaci | it's used to "burn" the iso to your USB stick | 11:14 |
| sagaci | so you can boot into the live ubuntu environment to install it | 11:14 |
| ajcullen | Just get my keys | 11:14 |
| sagaci | also, if you have anything on your wubi ubuntu install, back it up / copy it now | 11:15 |
| ajcullen | Kk | 11:15 |
| ajcullen | Ntfs or fat for a 8gb flash? Formatting... | 11:16 |
| sagaci | fat | 11:17 |
| ajcullen | Thought so | 11:17 |
| sagaci | not sure if it is still an issue but certain things won't boot from ntfs | 11:18 |
| sagaci | fyi, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_do_I_uninstall_Wubi.3F | 11:18 |
| sagaci | so you just go into the add/remove programs and remove the "Ubuntu" program | 11:19 |
| ajcullen | Just backing up now | 11:20 |
| ajcullen | Is there someway i can get a list of my personally installed apps? | 11:20 |
| sagaci | probably, but I can't remember how | 11:22 |
| sagaci | I just keep a txt file in my ntfs partition with all the things I need when I reinstall | 11:23 |
| * sagaci is organmanised | 11:23 | |
| ajcullen | Nice idea | 11:23 |
| sagaci | sudo apt-get 100 things, irc channels, bashrc, wget keys... etc | 11:26 |
| ajcullen | !restarting think theres bad sectors on my disc and computer says no | 11:29 |
| lubotu2 | ajcullen: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 11:29 |
| sagaci | ah, what? | 11:30 |
| sagaci | did you just do anything funky, apart from backing up? | 11:30 |
| ajcullen | Narh my laptops pretty munted | 11:31 |
| ajcullen | Think a fresh win7 and ubuntu are in order | 11:31 |
| sagaci | I'll leave the win7 install to you | 11:31 |
| ajcullen | Yer all good with that | 11:32 |
| ajcullen | Just new to ubuntu | 11:32 |
| sagaci | not that the win7 install is hard, it's just takes a while post-install to get it how I like it | 11:32 |
| ajcullen | Yer | 11:32 |
| ajcullen | Need to back it up anyway | 11:32 |
| sagaci | good luck | 11:33 |
| ajcullen | Lol i hate windows | 11:33 |
| ajcullen | Love mac hate apple | 11:34 |
| ajcullen | Love ubuntu | 11:35 |
| ajcullen | Just backing up now | 11:41 |
| sagaci | righteo then | 11:55 |
| sagaci | so can you boot into windows or is it stopping on errors? | 11:55 |
| ajcullen | Should be right | 11:56 |
| ajcullen | Unetbotin for windows? | 12:03 |
| sagaci | yep | 12:05 |
| ajcullen | Coool | 12:06 |
| sagaci | so you've downloaded the ubuntu iso into a folder on your windows 7 install? | 12:08 |
| ajcullen | Yep external hdd | 12:09 |
| sagaci | well just open unetbootin, select your iso from the Diskimage line | 12:10 |
| sagaci | and be careful to choose USB drive and the appropriate letter for your usb drive | 12:11 |
| ajcullen | Formatting usb | 12:16 |
| ajcullen | Nearly done | 12:33 |
| ajcullen | All done | 12:36 |
| ajcullen | Now what? | 12:36 |
| ajcullen | In unetbootin | 12:39 |
| ajcullen | ... | 12:41 |
| sagaci | well just open unetbootin, select your iso from the Diskimage line | 12:45 |
| sagaci | and be careful to choose USB drive and the appropriate letter for your usb drive | 12:45 |
| ajcullen | What distribution do i select e.g.live net install | 12:46 |
| ajcullen | Downloaded it | 12:46 |
| sagaci | don't do the distribution line | 12:47 |
| ajcullen | Ahh i seee | 12:47 |
| sagaci | select the diskimage line then click the ... button and then select your .iso, wherever you saved it | 12:47 |
| ajcullen | Eoing it now | 12:49 |
| sagaci | yup, just make sure your drive is your usb drive letter | 12:50 |
| ajcullen | Okay now reboot? | 12:50 |
| sagaci | yup and open up your boot menu and boot to the usb | 12:52 |
| ajcullen | Already does that :-) | 12:52 |
| sagaci | and just boot and do try ubuntu | 12:53 |
| sagaci | ah wait a minute buddy, can you boot back into windows | 12:53 |
| sagaci | .. did you uninstall wubi through add/remove programs? | 12:54 |
| ajcullen | Yep just doing that now :-) | 12:54 |
| sagaci | because you also need to shrink your partition | 12:55 |
| ajcullen | I have 2 | 12:55 |
| sagaci | you have 2 what | 12:56 |
| ajcullen | Partitions | 12:57 |
| sagaci | what's your second partition | 12:57 |
| ajcullen | Ubuntu | 12:59 |
| ajcullen | Will be free space | 12:59 |
| ajcullen | Formatting it now | 12:59 |
| sagaci | that's ok, you'll be reformatting as ext4 in the installer | 13:00 |
| ajcullen | Quick format okay? | 13:00 |
| sagaci | yep, is that the ~120GB partition? | 13:00 |
| ajcullen | 127 yep | 13:00 |
| sagaci | yep that's fine | 13:00 |

| sagaci | yup | 13:29 |
| sagaci | so you installed it? | 13:29 |

| sagaci | ah ok | 13:32 |
| ajcullen | Saw ur blueprint for guitar exercises... What does it do? | 13:33 |
| sagaci | I haven't done anything with it yet, it's just a small python command-line program that randomises scales for you to practise | 13:34 |
| sagaci | nothing like guitar pro or sibelius/finale | 13:34 |
| ajcullen | Wicked | 13:35 |
