[01:03] Hello [01:03] jdmcancer: Hello! [01:04] I need some help uninstalling a program [01:04] I am new to Linux [01:04] jdmcancer: Sure! No problem! What program do you need to uninstall? [01:05] A web browser, rekonq [01:05] jdmcancer: Ok. Please, open a Terminal, pressing Ctrl+Alt+T. [01:06] jdmcancer: Then, type in "sudo apt-get remove rekonq", without quotes. Enter your password, and follow the instructions on-screen. [01:06] Whenever I try to uninstall it I get a message that says that it needs to be repaired but when I try that it always fails [01:06] jdmcancer: Hmm, let me see. One sec. [01:08] OK [01:08] jdmcancer: Can you please try with "sudo apt-get check -f"? [01:09] jdmcancer: That is supposed to check if there are any broken dependencies, and fix them. [01:09] Sure just tell me exactly what steps I need to follow because I'm really new and just learning [01:09] jdmcancer: Yep. Just write "sudo apt-get check -f" in the Terminal. [01:10] OK done that [01:11] jdmcancer: One question, are you using Kubuntu or Ubuntu? :) [01:11] Ubuntu [01:11] jdmcancer: Oh, cool :) [01:12] jdmcancer: Now, try with "sudo apt-get remove rekonq". [01:12] jdmcancer: It should remove the package, if everything was fixed first. [01:13] This is what it told me [01:14] jdmcancer: What was it? [01:14] f [sudo] password for john: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Correcting dependencies... Done john@Ubuntu-PC:~$ sudo apt-get remove rekonq Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kde-runtime : Depe [01:15] jdmcancer: Then, try "sudo apt-get -f install". [01:15] Also since I've installed that it won't install any updates for my system [01:17] jdmcancer: Hmm. Seems weird. Have you tried with the command I just gave you? [01:18] Yes and this is what I've got so far....Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. The following extra packages will be installed: oxygen-icon-theme The following NEW packages will be installed: oxygen-icon-theme 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 62 not upgraded. 6 not fully installed or removed. Need to get 0 B/16.8 MB of archives. After this operation, 32.5 MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you [01:19] jdmcancer: Write y and press return/enter [01:20] jdmcancer: After it finishes, run "sudo apt-get remove rekonq", to see if it works now. [01:21] Still not working [01:21] jdmcancer: After running sudo apt-get -f install, and then running sudo apt-get remove rekonq, what happens? === JackyAlcine_ is now known as jalcine [01:23] if anything, try "sudo apt-get purge rekonq kde-runtime*" [01:23] Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: kde-runtime : Depends: oxygen-icon-theme (>= 4:4.6) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). [01:23] jdmcancer: Try with "sudo apt-get autoremove" [01:24] Yeah, then run "sudo apt-get -f install"; that'd resolve dependencies and install the needed packages [01:25] jdmcancer: Did you install "kubuntu-desktop"? [01:27] jdmcancer: And how did it go? Were you able to uninstall the package? [01:28] I was just trying to install rekonq and when it finished it opens up but doesn't take me to any web pages and then I got the message when I tried to remove it that the package was broken and needs to be repaired but that always fails [01:29] jdmcancer: That's because rekonq is for Kubuntu :) [01:29] Just to be clear, "sudo apt-get -f install" always fails? [01:29] And if so, can you pastebin that output, please? [01:29] !pastebin [01:29] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [01:30] Well, a KDE desktop :P [01:30] So far I've tried everything that you've suggested but it still fails [01:31] jdmcancer: Please, can you issue "sudo apt-get -f install" one more time, and put the full output in a pastebin? [01:31] Can you paste that output you see to http://paste.ubuntu.com ? [01:31] If anything, you might need to manually remove some packages. [01:31] OK [01:33] You should have it now [01:33] You have to give us the link ;) [01:33] Forgot to mention that. [01:35] jdmcancer: ^^ [01:35] I just tried it again [01:36] Copy and paste the URL after you've submitted your paste to this channel. [01:37] Is that somewhere in the terminal or where do I find that? Because what I'm sending you is what's in the terminal [01:39] jdmcancer: Once you have pasted the content in the pastebin, it will take you to a page where the content is. Please, give us that link so we can check it. [01:42] OK I just tried it again [01:44] jdmcancer: What's the link for the pastebin? [01:45] http://paste.ubuntu.com/887230/ [01:47] jdmcancer: Thank you. I'm checking it... [01:47] Cool, thanks [01:48] jdmcancer: Can you please try with "sudo apt-get autoremove"? [01:48] Okay, so that package there is corrupt. [01:48] Run "sudo apt-get clean" and then try "sudo apt-get -f install" again [01:48] OK [01:48] Better try with jalcine's suggestion. [01:52] OK it just did something but I'm not sure if it worked so I'm going to let you see what it says [01:53] jdmcancer: Ok! [01:53] http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [01:54] jdmcancer: We need the link with the paste number :) [01:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/887242/ [01:54] jdmcancer: Great, thanks. [01:54] Sorry newbie here, lol [01:55] jdmcancer: no stress :) [01:55] jdmcancer: No problem :) You have just fixed the dependencies. Now, try with "sudo apt-get remove rekonq" [01:55] OK [01:57] jdmcancer: And did it work? [01:58] http://paste.ubuntu.com/887247/ [01:58] That's what it says now but I haven't tried anything [01:58] jdmcancer: That is great. You have just removed rekonq :) [01:59] :) [01:59] Now for Firefox or Chromium (or Google's Chrome, if that's your fancy). [01:59] As jalcine said. [02:00] jdmcancer: Can you please try with "sudo apt-get autoremove" to remove any packages that your system doesn't need? It will also free some disk space [02:01] Yes that's what I was using but I was having probems with my browser crashing and I decided to try another one but now I'm wondering if it's because I'm on a wireless network instead of a hardwired one [02:02] jdmcancer: Have you updated your browser to the latest version? Maybe it's a bug that has already been fixed. [02:02] No, I doubt that that would be the cause. [02:02] It could most likely because a dependency issue. [02:03] What browser are you using? [02:03] Yes and the same with all the software on the computer and also this computer is only a few months old but my buddy is a computer tech and he checked the hardware too and found no problems [02:04] I've tried both firefox and chrome and even opera [02:05] jdmcancer: Can you please run "sudo apt-get install firefox", to update it? [02:06] Instead of through the update manager or the browser? [02:06] jdmcancer: You can use the one that you prefer :) [02:08] OK the computer is doing a bunch of updates right now...these were just building up and not being allowed to install before we fixed my problem just now [02:08] jdmcancer: That is great! [02:12] I just got message from the update manager saying that a package operation failed but I don't know if it's something related to rekonq and that's why it failed since I just removed that? [02:12] jdmcancer: What error did you get? [02:13] http://paste.ubuntu.com/887258/ [02:15] jdmcancer: Please, run "sudo apt-get clean", and then try again. [02:16] OK [02:17] jdmcancer: What version of Ubuntu are you running? [02:17] Or trying to upgrade to? [02:18] Running 11.10 Oneric Ocelot [02:18] Ah, okay. [02:20] It looks like it accepted the updates this time [02:20] jdmcancer: Can you please give us the output, so we can check that everything went well? [02:22] The only message the update manager is giving me now is there are no more updates and my computer needs to be restarted [02:22] Should do so then. [02:23] Got Chromium installed and cleaned off reKonq. :) [02:23] If anything, pop back in here if you need more assistance or just want to hang. [02:24] Yes looks like a complete success but I was wondering if you have an opinion on whether connection reliability is better through a ethernet cable or a wireless adapter? [02:25] Typically through an Ethernet cable, as it's then only restricted by the speed of the Ethernet device. [02:26] OK I may have to try that [02:26] With wifi, it depends at times on the strength of your signal. Shouldn't be too much of a problem if you and the router's nearby. [02:26] Thanks [02:27] jdmcancer: I hope everything goes well, if you need help just come back, we'll be glad to help you [02:27] Well this is my situation...there are at times as many as four or five computers in the house connected at the same time and my computer is in the basement with the router upstairs [02:28] jdmcancer: Then it's because that, the connection speed [02:28] jdmcancer: Also, you're far from your router, so that gives you less signal strenght [02:30] OK I was wondering because different people are telling me different things, some say yes as you just did and some say no way [02:30] Yeah, it's the distance from the router. [02:31] It's a bit of math, but the farther you're away from it, the maximum speed you can reach on it reduces, I think, in a "half-life" like manner. [02:31] like (hypothetically) 1 ft = 2 GBps, 4 ft = 1 GBps, 9 ft = 0.5GBps, etc. [02:31] OK thanks a lot for your help and if I need any future assistance or even opinions on anything I'll be sure to come back [02:31] * jalcine can't remember precisely. [02:32] No problem, jdmcancer ;) [02:32] Goodnite [02:36] hi all =) [02:43] Hello Albin_karlsson [05:40] Hi, I'm trying to copy a hidden folder (.irssi) and I try to run cp ~/.irssi ~/irssi_backup I get cp: omitting directory `/home/benny/.irssi' [05:40] -r [05:41] -R, -r, --recursive copy directories recursively [05:42] Unit193: Thank you very much [05:42] Sure. === not_found is now known as nlsthzn === genupulas is now known as ethane === synaptix|ubuntu is now known as pie === pie is now known as synaptix|ubuntu [13:43] hello all [13:43] I'm just starting in setting up gufw [13:43] and several questions have come up [13:48] use this one as an example... [13:49] mythfront 3810 william 62u IPv4 270337 0t0 TCP 192.168.x.x:46359->192.168.x.x:3306 (ESTABLISHED) [13:49] is 46359 a random port? [13:50] or should I setup gufw to allow it to go out? [14:01] when making outgoing connections, a random available port > 1024 is chosen on the local side. [14:02] k [14:04] In general, when you set up a firewall, you allow outgoing connections, but block incoming connects, except for incoming connections to the ports you want to allow connections to. [14:05] the reason I ask this....shouldn't I be concerned with out going connections? If someone gets in and sends out information...how would I stop that? [14:06] don't allow them in ^^ [14:06] thats the goal :) [14:10] since i'm just learning....here is my thought process on getting gufw setup.... [14:11] I'm opening all programs that I might use and then running.... [14:11] sudo lsof -i -n -P [14:12] to get a list of ports that can be used [14:12] then go into gufw and make rules for the listed ports [14:13] but what if I forget and need another program later..... [14:13] will I still be able to run ... [14:13] sudo lsof -i -n -P [14:13] and see the ports the programs needs? === jalcine is now known as JackyAlcine === JackyAlcine is now known as jalcine [15:19] Hello =) [15:20] s-fox: Hello! [15:20] Hello JoseeAntonioR , how are you? [15:20] s-fox: Everything's fine over here, and you? [15:21] Not too bad than you :) [15:21] *thank === haz3lnut__ is now known as haz3lnut [16:06] hi, can anyone tell me how to install vmware tools in ubuntu? [16:07] najim: have you referenced https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Tools ? [17:25] hi [17:27] pozeidon: Hello! === ethane is now known as raju === raju is now known as genupulas [17:47] I need help installing Ubuntu 11.10 on my HP computer, I keep getting the black-screen during the first-time boot instillation [17:47] ATI RADEON Xpress 200 Series, not the newest, but its what i got [17:48] in terms of video chips [17:48] I have been up till 3 trying to figure this out ppl, don't leave me hangin [17:50] Indira, you know the nomodeset option to get in right? [17:50] yep, I put it before quiet splash, after, replaced it, still same result [17:51] Fyodorovna: yep, I put it before quiet splash, after, replaced it, still same result [17:52] Indira, is that the exact card info from lspci in the teminal? [17:52] *terminal [17:54] Fyodorovna: I'm not sure, i ran 'dxdiag' to determine it [17:55] Fyodorovna: Is that good enough, or do I need to use the method you are referring to? [17:56] Indira, So graphic cards are not a area of expertise for me but I suspect this ppa might help, it has radeon drivers. https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat/+archive/x-updates [17:58] Indira, are you familiar with getting to the terminal outside of the desktop in general? [17:59] Fyodorovna, no, only from the desktop, but please patiently explain it to me if it is necessary, as I am a quick, desperate learner [18:02] Indira, If you can't get to the desktop then the terminal is really your only choice, or a live cd......which can be trickier. You night consider starting a thread at the Ubuntu Forums for help, alot more user on daily. [18:04] Fyodorovna, *sigh* ok then, how do I get to the terminal? [18:04] Indira: Have you got a graphic interface? [18:06] JoseeAntonioR, um idk honestly [18:06] Indira: Try with Ctrl+Alt+T [18:07] If it doesn't work, try with Ctrl+Alt+F1 [18:07] JoseeAntonioR, @ which moment? [18:07] Indira: Once you have started your system [18:10] JoseeAntonioR, let me rephrase that; what should I see on the screen before I push those keys? [18:11] Indira: Your desktop, but as it doesn't load just press Ctrl+Alt+F1 [18:12] JoseeAntonioR, gimmie a sec [18:12] Ok [18:13] So I just started the Win8 install in vbox - any had a chance to play with it yet? [18:19] JoseeAntonioR, I did it, but now I see a purple screen filled with commands [18:20] Indira: That purple screen filled with commands is the Terminal :) [18:20] JoseeAntonioR, YEES! :D Ok, now what? [18:21] Indira: Give me a sec to read what your problem was :) [18:21] JoseeAntonioR, ok [18:23] Indira: So, have you already installed Ubuntu? [18:25] yep, its instillation contents are on the memory, but I have yet to successfully boot it for the first-time EVER [18:25] Indira: So, it's the first time you see your desktop, right? [18:26] JoseeAntonioR, yep, problem is i never got to actually SEE it per se, just the blackness of the screen [18:31] Indira: What do you mean? Can I have a screenshot (if that's possible)? [18:32] JoseeAntonioR, of the black screen? [18:32] Indira: It's a completely black screen? [18:32] * jalcine giggles. [18:33] JoseeAntonioR, yep, as if your computer was off, but the display was on. I just push Ctrl+Alt+F1 and the Terminal comes back [18:34] Indira: That is a TTY, not exactly a terminal, as the terminal would appear somewhere in the graphical interface [18:35] Indira: You can issue commands there, as you were doing in the Terminal [18:35] Indira: what shape is your cursor in that screen? if visible. [18:36] JoseeAntonioR, Aiee, now I'm confused, ur basically saying that I never found the terminal [18:36] jalcine, it is not visible [18:36] Indira: That's like a full-screen terminal, don't worry [18:37] JoseeAntonioR, will they both work the same for what you are trying to get me to do? [18:37] Indira: Yep :) [18:37] Indira: Have you already logged in that terminal? [18:39] JoseeAntonioR, if i had it was not intentional, I just started the boot-installer, waited for the blackness to appear, then pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 [18:40] Indira: Yep, but to be able to issue the command you must have installed Ubuntu in your PC before [18:40] You have, right? [18:40] hi [18:40] asterismo: hi [18:40] is anyone running precise beta 1? [18:40] hi Bodsda [18:40] asterismo: yep, as we speak [18:40] i had an issue [18:41] with ATI Catalyst driver [18:41] !ask | asterismo [18:41] asterismo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [18:41] asterismo: best place is #ubuntu+1 but what was the problem? [18:41] I'm running Ubuntu Precise amd 64 beta 1 [18:41] and yesterday i updates a bunch of stuff [18:41] JoseeAntonioR, I think so. I did the installer, on windows, it said to reboot to get it to work, and then I got stuck in this mess, so I'm pretty positive, but just to be safe I also installed on USB [18:42] and my ATI Catalyst binary driver lost 3D support [18:42] asterismo: have you uninstalled and reinstalled the driver? [18:42] as said by Virtualbox when trying to start some of my Windows XP virtual machines [18:42] Indira: You ran the installer via windows? [18:42] i tried that reinstalling but with the stock kernel 3.2 the PC wont boot up [18:42] that was very odd [18:43] JoseeAntonioR: wubi probably [18:43] and then i installed the upstream kernel 3.3 [18:43] and ATI driver as well [18:43] but i lost 3D support [18:43] Virtualbox says that [18:43] asterismo: you installed a non-stock kernel against a beta release. Brave :) [18:43] that I only can enable 3D accel for my VM once my host have 3D support [18:44] JoseeAntonioR, yep, it = only operating system I could work w/. Bodsda's right it was wubi [18:44] yeah sure [18:44] Indira: Wubi has been told to cause many problems. [18:44] now i uninstalled every driver and then went to hadrware drivers [18:44] and choose FGLRX (post-release updates) [18:44] Indira: I suggest you remove Wubi, just like you'd do with a normal windows program, and do a fresh install. [18:45] what is the difference with normal FGLRX driver? [18:46] JoseeAntonioR, any particular version I should use? [18:47] Indira: I recommend 11.10, as it's the newest version. Once you have removed Wubi, insert the Ubuntu CD, and reboot. [18:47] Indira: Once you have rebooted, choose to Install Ubuntu alongside Windows, that won't delete anything you have at the moment. [18:48] JoseeAntonioR, I don't have CD, will USB work? [18:48] Indira: The LiveUSB also works fine :D [18:48] Indira: Have you already followed the steps to create a LiveUSB, right? [18:49] JoseeAntonioR, Yes, I have, should I uninstally wubi off USB & PC as u said & reinstall [18:49] ? [18:53] Indira: No, don't reinstall Wubi. [18:54] Indira: Once you get Wubi removed from your PC, and from your USB, follow these instructions: [18:54] Wubi's a sub-installation of Ubuntu under Windows. [18:54] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [18:55] Indira: Where it says 2, select USB stick, Windows, and click Show me how [18:57] JoseeAntonioR, I'm booting from USB and it looks like( http://cloud.addictivetips.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Ubuntu-Live-Disk-Menu.jpgthis ) Now what? [18:58] Wait a second [18:58] JoseeAntonioR, ok [18:58] Select Run Ubuntu from this USB [19:01] JoseeAntonioR, Hey, I Did it and something different is happening, I see purple screen, white words "ubuntu(R)' in center, and 5 white/orange loading circles under it; what should I be looking 4? [19:01] Indira: It's Ubuntu loading :D [19:03] JoseeAntonioR, Great! :D Ok now I see black screen, white words, in terminal-like fashion; I think this is the legit terminal! [19:05] JoseeAntonioR, now What? [19:05] What do you mean? Don't you see a desktop like this one? https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ4eRlFJrHwmnCmhf8NtCrEvrwRaWBOYcwFAbIvhLrZtQwAbBhm [19:07] JoseeAntonioR, uhh..I would have loved to see that but I did not, I am rebooting the computer again in the hopes that maybe I did something wrong and it would fix itself. Ok umbutu loading.... [19:08] Indira: Please, tell me once your desktop is loaded, or if you get a TTY [19:13] JoseeAntonioR, The same thing showed up, but as a clue as to why that happened I saw on the last lint "(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file sysetm"; meaning? [19:13] Indira: The iso file you downloaded was corrupt. [19:14] JoseeAntonioR, I'm guessing that means I go on windows, reinstall a better iso for the USB, put file in USB, and try again? [19:14] Indira: Try downloading again, and do a MD5 check once you re-download it. [19:15] Be sure to follow the Ubuntu webpage instructions on how to create a USB stick [19:15] wb Bodsda :] [19:16] JoseeAntonioR, How do I do a MD5 check? [19:16] Indira, do you have a Live CD/ USB with you now? [19:16] Indira: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [19:17] M0hi, yep [19:17] Indira, from where did you download your Ubuntu iso file from? [19:18] Just making sure that it is from ubuntu site. Also, tell me about your laptop model [19:21] Indira: Always make sure you download the iso from www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download [19:21] Hi, using version 10, have an acer travelmate 4020 and cannot configurate wi-fi....anyone have any idea? thanx [19:21] ejanaky: Have you checked if there are any additional drivers to be installed? [19:22] JoseeAntonioR, ok, its loading, gimmie a sec as this may take a while [19:22] Indira: Have you read everything? [19:22] ejanaky, try running "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" in terminal and tell whether you are getting some errors [19:23] Indira: Only download the iso from www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download, create the LiveUSB as the Ubuntu Webpage says, and do the MD5 check as in the webpage [19:23] Indira: Those pages are part from the official documentation. [19:23] JoseeAntonioR, Patience my friend :] Lets give some time to Indira to read [19:24] ejanaky, waiting for your response :) [19:25] JoseeAntonioR, "and do the MD5 check as in the webpage", where dos it say that? [19:25] Indira: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [19:26] Indira: Remember to do the MD5 check before creating the LiveUSB [19:26] JoseeAntonioR, on the iso? [19:26] Indira: Yes [19:26] ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device [19:26] eszti@eszti-laptop:~$ [19:27] Grrr! Give me a min [19:28] JoseeAntonioR, ok, the download is a little slow, so I'm trying it on both computers, please bear w/ me [19:29] M0hi, My PC = HP Pavilion a1210n [19:30] Indira: I will stay here, don't worry :) [19:30] ejanaky, can you pastebin the output of sudo lshw -class network and rfkill list all ???

[19:59] and the other thing is the program installed on host window can be used on ubuntu or I have to installed it on ubuntu like text editors? [20:06] anyone here please [20:36] JoseeAntonioR, FINALLY!, I Checked it, it's sums were the same, I used it to make Live USB. Now do I just put the iso in the usb and then do the boot again? [20:36] Indira: Do not put the .iso file in the USB, follow the steps in the webpage to create a LiveUDB [20:37] USB * [20:37] JoseeAntonioR, Done, now I just boot again? [20:38] Indira: Yes. [20:42] Indira: How did it go? [20:43] hi all, I have a problem, I get no sound from my speakers and dont know what to do =) [20:45] JoseeAntonioR, it just left the loading screen and now.......blackness aw man! [20:49] Indira, are you trying to access the Live USB and it is showing blank screen? [20:50] M0hi, sort of, just right after the ubuntu loading the 5 dots [20:50] JoseeAntonioR, does the iso have to be on the computer memory, because I went off of another computer [20:51] Indira: Nope, the iso installs in the USB [20:51] Any ideas then? [20:51] Oh wait.. [20:52] Indira: What happened? [20:53] JoseeAntonioR, The "(initramfs) unable to find a medium containing a live file sysetm" thing came up again! [20:54] cprofitt, poke =) [20:54] Want a fun project for the Tigers ? [20:55] cprofitt, www.scoutingvermont.org/pubs/c/58_gmckiterecruitingproject.pdf [20:56] Indira: One second please [20:57] JoseeAntonioR, ok [20:57] Indra can't boot ? [20:57] sounds like a bad burn or bad download, did you check the md5sum ? [20:58] bodhizazen, yep, the sums matched/were equal [20:58] How did you make the usb then ? [20:59] and what version of Ubuntu [21:05] bodhizazen, I used the thing on the download site "Universal USB installer; version = 11.10 [21:05] Indira: Try making the LiveUSB again, and if it fails try with http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [21:07] JoseeAntonioR, 2 Questions, can i do it on a different computer, than boot on the first computer, & I don't need a new iso do i? [21:08] Indira: Nope [21:08] Indira: And you can boot in a different PC [21:08] JoseeAntonioR, ok here i go again... [21:08] Ok [21:12] JoseeAntonioR, beofre I re-extract it, do i need to delete the old data that was on the usb? [21:12] yes [21:15] Indira: ^^ [21:17] JoseeAntonioR, ok, NOW im doing that [21:17] Indira: Great :) [21:17] Indira: I hope it works this time :) [21:18] JoseeAntonioR, ditto [21:30] JoseeAntonioR, had a different loading screen this time, now after the purple "ubuntu 11.10" loading w/ 4 dots thing disappears, i see black again. Is this bad or should I wait? [21:31] Indira: What did you used this time? [21:32] JoseeAntonioR, same as the image i showed you before, i chose "Run Ubuntu from this USB" [21:32] Indira: I meant, to create the LiveUSB [21:33] JoseeAntonioR, "Universal USB installer" [21:33] Indira: I recommend you try with unetbootin this time. [21:33] http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [21:33] JoseeAntonioR, ok [21:41] JoseeAntonioR, should i us an iso that downloads straight off of the internet (there is an option to do that in unebootin) or should i use the one i already downloaded? [21:41] Indira, black screen ? [21:41] What video card is it ? [21:41] Indira: One you have already downloaded [21:47] bodhizazen, ATI RADEON Xpress 200 Series [21:58] Indira: Did you boot with the new USB created with unetbootin? [22:00] JoseeAntonioR, it is having some trouble making the usb, it goes and than it looks (i don't if i it did actually) stopped trying to extract the 11th file out of 100 and something files [22:00] :S [22:03] JoseeAntonioR, ill see if i can make this work, just gimmie a sec [22:03] Indira: Ok :) [22:29] JoseeAntonioR, .......any other ideas? [22:29] Indira: Did you manage to fix what you were working on? [22:31] JoseeAntonioR, nope, it's still stuck on the 11th file "casper\filesystem.squashfs" [22:31] Indira: Give me one second to look up what may be happening [22:32] JoseeAntonioR, OH WAIT!! its going [22:32] Indira: Really? Yay! [22:33] JoseeAntonioR, YEESSSS, one, now 2 reboot :D [22:33] Ok, once it reboots with the LiveUSB, ping me. [22:34] JoseeAntonioR, ok [22:35] Indira: Are you reading me? [22:35] Indira: May have a solution [22:36] Indira: When it's about to boot, enter the BIOS. Do you know how to do that? [22:36] JoseeAntonioR, maybe, but please refresh me [22:37] Indira: When you just turn on the PC, it will show like a loading screen. You should then press a Fx button, that takes you to the BIOS [22:37] Indira: Once you're on the BIOS, change the SATA controller type, from IDE to AHCI, and save the changes. [22:40] JoseeAntonioR, When i boot usb, it looks like this (http://www.webscopia.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/UnetBootIn_Default-Option.png) when will I be in BIOS in relation to the photo, before as computer starts, by pressing tab, or after? [22:41] Indira: Before that menu shows up. [22:43] Indira: Did you manage to access the BIOS menu? [22:46] JoseeAntonioR, is this (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportDocument/bph07146/c01403333.jpg) it? [22:46] Indira: YES! [22:47] Indira: There, you should change the SATA controllet type from IDE to AHCI [22:49] JoseeAntonioR, I can't find that option, I found the "SATA adapter" thing, but its only options are enable & disable [22:50]
