[07:20] <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?
[10:37] <ajcullen> Ubuntu says i have low disc space
[10:39] <sagaci> go to nautilus and check how much space is in the / directory and your home directory
[10:49] <ajcullen> Free space 2.9gb home?
[10:49] <ajcullen> If i downloaded something would it go into home?
[10:50] <sagaci> well what does it say under your / directory
[10:51] <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 ~/
[10:53] <ajcullen> Its 2.9 have i installed it wrong?
[10:53] <sagaci> are you dual-booting?
[10:54] <ajcullen> Yep
[10:54] <sagaci> how much did you shrink your windows (i'm assuming) partition?
[10:55] <ajcullen> Bout 120gb for ubuntu
[10:55] <ajcullen> Did advanced off a tutorial
[10:55] <sagaci> doesn't sound right
[10:56] <ajcullen> Can someone link me a tutorial to get it right?
[10:56] <sagaci> can you pastebin df -h
[10:56] <ajcullen> Sure 
[10:57] <sagaci> are you on 11.10?
[10:58] <ajcullen> Yep
[11:00] <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
[11:01] <sagaci> assuming you've used paste.ubuntu.com
[11:01] <ajcullen> http://pastebin.com/crZkjWXE
[11:01] <ajcullen> Cool
[11:03] <ajcullen> Take it ubuntu is more of a fixer upper than just starting a fresh with problems
[11:05] <sagaci> what guide did you use?
[11:05] <ajcullen> Cant remember one off the net lol
[11:05] <sagaci> ah, you installed via wubi?
[11:06] <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
[11:07] <ajcullen> 7 pro
[11:07] <ajcullen> Theres an advanced partitioning tool
[11:08] <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
[11:09] <ajcullen> Okay 
[11:09] <ajcullen> Is there a guide i should follow
[11:09] <sagaci> as for deleting wubi...
[11:10] <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?
[11:11] <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> -.-
[11:12] <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
[11:13] <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?
[11:14] <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
[11:15] <sagaci> also, if you have anything on your wubi ubuntu install, back it up / copy it now
[11:15] <ajcullen> Kk
[11:16] <ajcullen> Ntfs or fat for a 8gb flash? Formatting...
[11:17] <sagaci> fat
[11:17] <ajcullen> Thought so
[11:18] <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
[11:19] <sagaci> so you just go into the add/remove programs and remove the "Ubuntu" program
[11:20] <ajcullen> Just backing up now
[11:20] <ajcullen> Is there someway i can get a list of my personally installed apps?
[11:22] <sagaci> probably, but I can't remember how
[11:23] <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
[11:26] <sagaci> sudo apt-get 100 things, irc channels, bashrc, wget keys... etc
[11:29] <ajcullen> !restarting think theres bad sectors on my disc and computer says no
[11:30] <sagaci> ah, what?
[11:30] <sagaci> did you just do anything funky, apart from backing up?
[11:31] <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
[11:32] <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 
[11:33] <sagaci> good luck
[11:33] <ajcullen> Lol i hate windows
[11:34] <ajcullen> Love mac hate apple
[11:35] <ajcullen> Love ubuntu
[11:41] <ajcullen> Just backing up now
[11:55] <sagaci> righteo then
[11:55] <sagaci> so can you boot into windows or is it stopping on errors?
[11:56] <ajcullen> Should be right 
[12:03] <ajcullen> Unetbotin for windows?
[12:05] <sagaci> yep
[12:06] <ajcullen> Coool
[12:08] <sagaci> so you've downloaded the ubuntu iso into a folder on your windows 7 install?
[12:09] <ajcullen> Yep external hdd
[12:10] <sagaci> well just open unetbootin, select your iso from the Diskimage line
[12:11] <sagaci> and be careful to choose USB drive and the appropriate letter for your usb drive
[12:16] <ajcullen> Formatting usb
[12:33] <ajcullen> Nearly done
[12:36] <ajcullen> All done
[12:36] <ajcullen> Now what?
[12:39] <ajcullen> In unetbootin
[12:41] <ajcullen> ...
[12:45] <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
[12:46] <ajcullen> What distribution do i select e.g.live net install 
[12:46] <ajcullen> Downloaded it
[12:47] <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
[12:49] <ajcullen> Eoing it now
[12:50] <sagaci> yup, just make sure your drive is your usb drive letter
[12:50] <ajcullen> Okay now reboot?
[12:52] <sagaci> yup and open up your boot menu and boot to the usb
[12:52] <ajcullen> Already does that :-) 
[12:53] <sagaci> and just boot and do try ubuntu
[12:53] <sagaci> ah wait a minute buddy, can you boot back into windows
[12:54] <sagaci> .. did you uninstall wubi through add/remove programs?
[12:54] <ajcullen> Yep just doing that now :-) 
[12:55] <sagaci> because you also need to shrink your partition
[12:55] <ajcullen> I have 2
[12:56] <sagaci> you have 2 what
[12:57] <ajcullen> Partitions
[12:57] <sagaci> what's your second partition
[12:59] <ajcullen> Ubuntu
[12:59] <ajcullen> Will be free space
[12:59] <ajcullen> Formatting it now
[13:00] <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
[13:01] <ajcullen> Damn got to go
[13:01] <ajcullen> Will get back on irc at home
[13:01] <sagaci> righteo
[13:09] <ajcullen> Ae
[13:09] <ajcullen> Are you doing this off a tutorial mate? 
[13:16] <sagaci> no
[13:16] <sagaci> off the top of my head
[13:21] <ajcullen> .
[13:21] <ajcullen> Okay
[13:21] <ajcullen> Can u pm ur email? 
[13:22] <sagaci> you can find it on launchpad
[13:22] <sagaci> are you looking to do the install tonight
[13:24] <ajcullen> Probably not now sorry... Will see if u are around and 2moro
[13:24] <sagaci> righteo then, it's pretty straight-forward
[13:26] <ajcullen> Yer... I've got ubuntu going... Just needs tweaking and easier to start a new... Just a learning curve I suppose 
[13:27] <ajcullen> U play guitar dude? 
[13:29] <sagaci> yup
[13:29] <sagaci> so you installed it?
[13:31] <ajcullen> I had it operating but just encountered this problem downloading lion
[13:32] <sagaci> ah ok
[13:33] <ajcullen> Saw ur blueprint for guitar exercises... What does it do? 
[13:34] <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
[13:35] <ajcullen> Wicked 
[13:36] <ajcullen> G2g mate will catch u 2moro 
[13:36] <sagaci> bye
