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

Will see if u are around and 2moro [13:24] righteo then, it's pretty straight-forward [13:26] Yer... I've got ubuntu going... Just needs tweaking and easier to start a new... Just a learning curve I suppose [13:27] U play guitar dude? [13:29] yup [13:29] so you installed it? [13:31] I had it operating but just encountered this problem downloading lion [13:32] ah ok [13:33] Saw ur blueprint for guitar exercises... What does it do? [13:34] 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] nothing like guitar pro or sibelius/finale [13:35] Wicked [13:36] G2g mate will catch u 2moro [13:36] bye
