ubottuMr__: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.08:11
icerootrasero has to much dependencies08:12
icerootb08:12
Mr__i just don't under stand the need to put so much concentration on a new theme08:12
Mr__when so much else could be done to make it nicer08:12
icerootthen do it08:12
bioterrorMr__, we have artwork team08:12
icerootyou are free to support lubuntu with your work08:12
bioterrorMr__, and we have other teams for other things08:12
Mr__and to kill flash somehow 18 days before big launch ummmmm waisting too much time on the new theme?08:12
bioterrorMr__, so if someone does artwork, it's not off from other teams08:12
Mr__please08:13
AngelForgetMr__,  xfburn is super08:13
Mr__stop worrying about how the damn thing looks every six months08:13
Mr__find a good one08:13
Mr__which you had08:13
Mr__and work on more important things08:13
icerootyes, the grey on black bug was not important08:13
iceroot...08:13
Mr__xfburn frequently has trouble blanking discs for me and sometimes trouble seeing new connected drives08:14
icerootMr__: then install another app and report bugs08:14
iceroothave you reported that bug?08:14
icerootif not, please stop flaming here08:14
Mr__the bug is     concentrating on a new look every six months08:14
icerootthe bug is your flaming here which is not usefull08:15
Mr__tooo much time was waisted there... other things are much more important ,,, besides   honestly the new theme is truly hideous08:15
icerootusefull is a normal disussion08:15
bioterrorhahaha08:15
icerootand the theme has changed?08:15
bioterrorMr__, now you can stop repeating yourself08:15
Mr__ok08:15
Mr__lol08:15
Mr__i'm just trying to think of something to tell my customers08:17
AngelForgetfor me Lubuntu 12.04 Beta 2 is great08:17
bioterrorthis channel is your customers?08:17
iceroot!remaster | Mr__08:17
ubottuMr__: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer? See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallCDCustomization - Or use tools such as http://uck.sourceforge.net/ or http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/DRU_Disc_Remastering_Utility08:17
Mr__i sell quite a few old systems with lubuntu on them.,,,,, most loved the last release, look , feel, performance, things just working,,, but i am in the process of loading the new one on some machines i just picked up and i'm just in shock08:18
icerootbuild your own installation with gnome-games instead of others, with another burning app and so on08:18
Mr__this is gonna keep me from doing regular visit upgrades for my older clients that are just too timid with the computer to do it themselves08:18
icerootand if you find bugs, reports bugs08:18
icerootflaming in this channel is useless, start a usefull discusion instead08:19
bioterrorprobably your more matured clients might like the lighter look better for their eyes than the dark one08:19
Mr__bitching about something is discussion,08:19
Mr__thats why i'm bitching because there is something that needs discussed08:20
Mr__thats how it works08:20
iceroothow a flaming is working normaly: someone is flaming, others are trying for aout 5 minutes to start a usefull discussion, after that the ignore-part is starting08:20
bioterrorMr__, what do you think: is that broken flash already repoterted on launchpad?08:20
bioterrorreported08:21
Mr__bioterror, i'm afraid if it is, which i don't know for sure, it seems a little worrisome that is broken so close to release08:21
bioterrornot the first time08:22
icerootthen check if it is reported instead of flaming us08:22
bioterrorand whole last release there was this xfce4-power-manager bug on taskbar08:22
bioterrorwhich is nice fixed08:22
bioterrorI assume that wasnt a big deal08:22
Mr__xfce4 power manager is a bit different than flash not working08:23
icerootflash is working fine here08:23
icerootfine like flash can be....08:23
Mr__installed lubuntu addons and extras08:23
Mr__loaded youtube on chromium08:23
Mr__missing plugin08:23
iceroot!bug | Mr__08:23
ubottuMr__: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug <package> » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.08:23
Mr__loaded on firefox08:23
Mr__nothing appeared08:23
iceroot!enter | Mr__08:23
ubottuMr__: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!08:23
Mr__i'm not that much of a linux noob08:23
Mr__ok08:24
icerooti dont see the reason to discuss this flash issue here, because flash is not lubuntu-related, the only usefull place for that is launchpad with a bug-report08:25
Mr__right08:25
Mr__pass the buck08:25
bioterrorflash is restricted extra08:25
Mr__sounds like typical support08:25
bioterroror partner stuff08:25
bioterrorbut you can enable partner repository, remove flashplugin-installer with purge and install adobe-flashplugin08:25
bioterrorhope that solves part of your flash problems08:26
icerootMr__: if you dont want to report your issues on launchpad... i dont see a reason for further discussions08:26
bioterrorit's easier to whine about problems than try to solve them08:26
Mr__iceroot, understood08:26
icerootMr__: fine, you can use "ubuntu-bug packagename" to easily report bugs08:26
Mr__right bioterror because listening to whine means realizing there are issues08:27
bioterrorno08:27
Mr__no one likes a bitcher because it screws up others egos08:27
bioterrorhaving reported bugs means we have issues08:27
icerootMr__: this is #lubuntu, normally working on lxde-parts and bring them together as lubuntu, we dont provide flash08:27
bioterrorthen those can be solved and you get informed about them being fixed08:27
icerootso this place is useless for a "bug in flash" discussion08:27
bioterrorbut as you wish08:28
Mr__i submit bug reports when its something i really can't tackle08:28
icerootthen create that bug08:28
Mr__but with a new release i am expecting bugs but i'm also expecting basics to work08:28
bioterroror that it affects you08:28
Mr__like it or not flash is pretty basic feature to expect to work in linux anymore08:28
icerootand flash is working fine here08:28
bioterrorhahaha08:29
Mr__and you expect a distro that had a very nice theme to remain on a similiar course for a least more than one release08:29
bioterrorflash is as thirdparty as thirdparty can be08:29
Mr__yes but installing lubuntu addons and extras is almost full proof for the most part08:29
bioterroryou could expect oracle's java to work too?08:29
Mr__and if it was so third part why are there special meta packages to handle the job08:30
Mr__built but canoncial and or the dev teams08:30
icerootstop it please now and report that bug08:30
bioterrorMr__, becouse people like you seem to demand that broken stuff .D08:30
Mr__right bioterror if you can't handle the debate result to humilation08:31
Mr__very big of you08:31
Mr__can i report that as a bug08:32

Mr__i just did a fresh install and applied the updates08:32
Mr__no fixy08:33
icerootMr__: please stop this discussion here08:33
icerooti posted you the bug08:33
Myrttiyou *did* relaunch the browser?08:33
icerootuse that bug for discussion08:33
icerootor #ubuntu-bugs08:33
Mr__iceroot     ,,, glad you found it, but thats not my point, my point is that is a little troublesome so close to the release date08:33
icerootExchanging it by the adobe-flashplugin package solves it.08:33
iceroot12.04 is a beta release08:34
icerootif you dont know what beta means please dont use 12.0408:34
Mr__oh , shove it, its more or less supposed to be gold copy now, and this is very troublesome08:35
icerootits beta208:35
bioterrorit's development release08:35
bioterrorit's not final08:35
bioterrorand things gets broken08:35
bioterrorget over it08:35
bioterroryour precious 11.10 still has couple years of support08:35
bioterroruse it then08:35
icerootuse 11.10 and e happy and switch to 12.04 when it is final08:35
Mr__i just don't wanna see lubuntu screw up08:35
Mr__honestly08:35
Mr__i damn near preach it for older machines08:36
icerootMr__: then work on launchpad08:36
Mr__i luv it08:36
bioterrorthen you're welcome to join the teams and do your part in not screwing it up08:36
Mr__and i've tried launchpad and discussion forums08:36
icerootyour whole discussion here is so useless08:36
Mr__but people are too sensitive anymore08:36
bioterrordiscussion forums is wrong place08:36
Mr__proven in here quite frequently08:36
bioterrorwe have "mailing lists"08:36
icerooti dont see a comment from you on that bug08:36
icerootso where do you work on launchpad?08:36
Mr__when something is discussed , its usually debated and debates get loud08:36
Mr__good ones anyway08:36
Mr__under the guise of buntfu08:36
Myrttithis isn't really the venue for debates08:37
Mr__old site i once ran08:37
icerootso lets look at the points 1. 12.04 is beta2 2. the only usefull place for bugs is launchpad 3. we dont like if we get flamed08:38
Mr__i'm not flaming08:38
Mr__i'm complaining LOL08:38
icerootand we are always happy for feedback08:38
icerootbut not feedback like yours in that style08:38

MyrttiMr__: no, it's not. Feedback is constructive, this isn't it08:39
icerootits just useless flaming08:39
Mr__and i don't feel you should have the right to dictate my style of feedback08:39
Mr__who are you to think that08:39
Mr__honestly08:39
bioterrorMr__, now you can start behaving08:39
Mr__its feedback regardless if you like it or not08:39
MyrttiMr__: we have tried to tell you where your feedback would be appreciated more - this is mainly and foremostly a support channel, not development or bugfix or beta release channel08:39
Mr__the lubuntu site refers to this channel08:40
icerootnot for reporting bugs in flash08:40
Mr__i'm not reporting a bug08:40
icerootthat is the problem!!!!!!08:40
Mr__i'm bitching about the new release08:40
Mr__i mean i'm not reporting the bug to this channel08:41
icerootor launchpad....08:41
Mr__i came to this channel to discuss the current mess its in08:41
MyrttiMr__: your opinion has been noted. Can we move on now?08:41

AmberJ_What are minimum system requirements for Lubuntu 11.10?11:09
AmberJ_I'm especially interested in RAM and hard disk space.11:09
AmberJ_I'm installing 11.10 inside virtualbox to make/test some builds but I'm really low on resources on this system.11:10
AmberJ_Never mind. I found this on wikipedia: "Lubuntu 11.10 requires a minimum of 128 MB of RAM to run and 256 MB of RAM to install with the graphic installer. The recommended minimum RAM to run a live CD session is 384 MB."11:12
AmberJ_So, I'll go with 256MB for installation inside virtualbox.11:13

KM0201have you guys tried that new menu editing tool?  very slick.19:00
KM0201(well, new to me... not sure how new it actually is)19:00
Mr__anyone else experiencing numerous crashes and bugs with 12.04?19:12
Mr__i came in here last night furious and i apologize and was hoping for some updates today, however nothing has change yet, and i'm not sure if its just this particular system, but flash doesn't work even after many reistalls and purges, but there are many plain old "crashes"19:13
Mr__many different apps seems to crash out of no where19:13
Mr__is this just my system? or is this similiar to what others are experiencing19:14
bioterrorno other problems on my daily usage than youtube pages might crash19:17
bioterrorand chromium eats lots of RAM19:17
KM0201ive experienced about 5 crashes, been running since beta 219:18
KM0201the flash problem was fairly simple to fix19:18
KM0201by simply updating19:18
KM0201Mr__: what have you done to try and fix flash? (by the way, i'm having zero probs out of chromium as well)19:21
folohey guys19:26
foloanyone here?19:26
folobe19:26
bioterroryes19:26
folohello?19:26
folobioterror19:26
bioterrorhi19:26
foloim thinking of installing lubuntu19:26
folocould i talk to you?19:27
bioterrorsure19:27
Mr__don't install the beta folo19:28
bioterror!purelxde > folo19:28
ubottufolo, please see my private message19:28
folowhat shall i install?19:28
Mr__i am even getting crashes with the installer19:28
Mr__the gui one anyway19:28
Mr__many crashes just doing daily routines19:28
Mr__just tried a reinstall using gui installer19:29
Mr__boom crash19:29
Mr__same spot, now maybe  it the system , so i am about to attempt on another sytem19:30
KM0201i'm having no problems with the beta... at all.19:30
Mr__i'm having massive issues unfortunately19:30
Mr__and i usually don't19:30
KM0201been using it for the last 4-5 weeks.. problems have been very vvery minor, and everytime i've submitted a bug report, it's a duplicate.19:30
KM0201Mr__: just because "you're"  having problems, doesn't mean there's a huge issue with the beta19:31
Mr__KM0201, and just because your not doesn't mean there isn't anything wrong with the beta either19:31
KM0201although, if you're new, you should probably stick w/ 11.10 for now.... unless there's some hardware reason you need 12.0419:31
Mr__i'm far from new19:31
KM0201Mr__: but i'm not the one proclaiming tons of problems, etc.. telling peopple to stay away from the beta19:31
KM0201Mr__: i wasn't saying you're new, i was really saying that for folo19:31
Mr__when things are working there is nothing to say19:32
Mr__oh19:32
KM0201strange, i've heard very few complaints here about 12.04... very few.19:32
KM0201Mr__: obviously if the installer is crashing, something is seriously wrong19:33
bioterrorless problems on 12.04 than what we had with 10.10 :D19:33
milen8204I will try to umdate19:34
milen8204update*19:34
Mr__yea i am a big lubuntu fan19:34
Mr__but for some reason on two system now there are just major crashes and issues,,,,   i'm starting to wonder if there a bad stick of ram or something19:34
KM0201possible, or your install media is wonky19:34
Mr__KM0201, have tried cd and usb19:35
Mr__same stuff19:35
KM0201dunno, somethings weird19:35
Mr__although i will say there may be some suspicious ram, i had two stick in a system that was giving me problem though i narrowed it down to one stick but maybe the other is bad as well19:35
KM0201i've put 12.04 on two systems, including a laptop that was brand new in Feb... and everything has been fine19:35
milen8204KM0201,  How can I update ?19:35
KM0201milen8204: update what?19:36
milen8204Lubuntu to 12.0419:36
KM0201!upgrade19:36
ubottuFor upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade19:36
bioterrormilen8204, sudo do-release-upgrade -d19:36
Mr__trying without suspected ram now, crossing fingers19:36
milen8204thanks19:36
KM0201actually, th eonly "problem" i've had w/ two machines running lubuntu 12.04 since alpha... is notification daemon crashing a few times... but i've not had that in a few days19:37
KM0201milen8204: i didn't really know the answer to you rquestion, because i never upgrade, i just clean install19:37
milen8204I have many things which do not want to lose19:38
KM0201well, make sure you're backed up.. anything can go wrong in an upgrade with any OS19:38
milen8204didn`t make a partition to /home19:38
KM0201neither did i19:38
KM0201i have all my data on a separate partition19:39
KM0201if i need to reinstall, i simply reinstall, and don't touch thta partition19:39
KM0201as for /home.. i have about 5 configuration files that i need, that i have backed up on that partition.. after a clean install, i just reinstall those apps, and move those configurations back to my new home... takes 2min19:39
KM0201plus, all that junk gets backed up to my file server19:40
Mr__nope19:40
KM0201Mr__: try the alternate cd?19:40
Mr__did it again, the installer just goes blank then leaves a spinning wheel19:40
bioterroralternate <319:40
Mr__KM0201, i can install with the alternate cd, which i had done earlier, however i still ran into all those bugs19:41
bioterrorMr__, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/non-pae/mini.iso19:41
KM0201hmm, dunno Mr__ obvioussly you're in the big minority19:41
KM0201yeah, mini iso is another option19:42
Mr__i mean like i'm on the desktop doing nothing and boom something come up about something crashing in the background, or chromium crashing all the time and i had flash working once then it quit and never came back always complaining of missing plugin or in firefox just a black window19:42
Mr__i followed the launchpad bug suggestion of uninstalling and reinstall adobe flash plugin    but still now joy19:42
Mr__and honestly i never have these type of numerous issues19:43
milen8204KM0201, can I make a partition now when all my space is used by Lubuntu ?19:43
Mr__now my next eperiment i guess will be install 11.10 and see if i have issues ,,, then i will try an upgrade from there and see if its any different then a fresh install19:43
KM0201it depends on how your system is set up i guess.19:43
milen8204I just have installed the live CD19:44
milen8204it was live USB but it is the same think19:45
KM0201how big is your hard drive?19:45
Mr__80 gigs19:45
KM0201not you Mr__19:45
KM0201milen8204:19:45
KM0201Mr__: i'm not sure what your issues are, but i feel confident it's not related to hard drive size19:45
milen8204KM0201, I have 40 GB HD19:47
milen8204it is my old PC19:47
KM0201how full is the drive?19:48
milen820427%19:49
milen820427 GB free19:49
KM0201ok, and how many partitions does the drive have?  just  swap and /   ?19:49
milen8204no19:49
milen8204I have /dev19:50
KM0201..19:50
milen8204I have /run ; run/lock19:50
KM0201why?19:50
milen8204I do not know :D19:50
milen8204I have run/shm19:50
KM0201sounds like a knucklehead set up your partitions19:50
milen8204i dint set anything19:51
milen8204It was automatic19:51
KM0201well, ubuntu by default doesn't set up /dev, /run, etc..19:51
KM0201do you have a way to back up important data on the 40gig hard drive? (ie, a USB drive or something?)19:52
milen8204I have USB 2 G19:52
milen8204I have a laptop :)19:52
milen8204in network19:52
KM0201that doesn't really answer the question19:53
milen8204but I do not know how to save my firefox settings, x-chat settings and so on :)19:53
KM0201open up your home folder19:53
KM0201click View/Show Hidden Files19:53
KM0201back up /.xchat   /.mozilla   and any other configuration folder you want19:54
bioterrorh button should do the trick19:54
milen8204cntrl+H19:54
bioterrorsomething like that19:54
milen8204ok done19:54
KM0201i usually back up xchat, pidgin, skype, chromium and t-bird19:54
milen8204I can see those files now19:54
KM0201everything else, i run close enough to default, i don't care if my settings are changed19:55
bioterrorKM0201, why you want to backup chromium?19:55
milen8204Back up means copy the hidden files ?19:55
KM0201bioterror: favorite places, plugins, etc.. honestly i don't know "why" i do it, but i do...19:55
bioterrorgoogle sync does it for you ;)19:55
KM0201bioterror: i never tried google sync19:55
bioterroryou dont need to copy all those non-needed caches19:55
KM0201(never even heard of it actually)19:56
bioterrorKM0201, you have sync in chromium which uses your google account19:56
KM0201oh19:56
bioterrorthat's why I'm using chromium, becouse firefox did not have that19:56
KM0201yeah, but backing up the configuration file, saves my plugins (and I have adblock with a LOT of additions on it, due to a gun board that i visit being very very ad heavy)19:56
milen8204i THING THE UPDATE IS BUGGED19:57
milen8204ops sorry for the caps19:57
milen8204i have written  sudo do-release-upgrade -d , when the installation gets to the question do you want to proceed ? [yN] details [d] . When I typed "y" the question appears again in a new line20:00
KM0201type yes?20:00
milen8204:D20:00
milen8204i must type "yes"20:00
milen8204ok20:01
KM0201ok, gotta go20:01
milen8204it is enough to copy hidden files which I want to back up, and then paste in my new home folder after preinstall20:02
MrChrisDruifFor having your settings back you mean milen8204 ?20:08

ubottufolo: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux - More information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine - Search the !AppDB for application compatibility ratings - Join #winehq for application help - See !virtualizers for running Windows (or another OS) inside Ubuntu20:17

bioterror!java20:23
ubottuTo just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software  Development Kit" (SDK).  Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.20:23

milen8204bioterror, could you tell me how can I make bootable USB in Lubuntu ?20:32
bioterrormilen8204, lubuntu usb stick?20:32
bioterrormilen8204, installation media?20:32
milen8204I can not find it :)20:33
bioterrorsudo dd if=lubuntu.iso of=/dev/sdX20:33
milen8204ok thanks20:34
bioterrordmesg tells you your usb pen drives device name20:34
bioterror"ooo you just plugged in sdb" :D20:34
bioterrorfilippo, I cant help, been a while since last time used S-Video20:35
KM0201milen8204: you could also use unetbootin (thats what i usually use)20:35
bioterrorKM0201, no need for unetbootin if you make normal installation media20:35
bioterrorbut for you persistence you might want to use it20:35
milen8204i have downloaded iso file and I want to but it to the usb20:35
filippook, it's just that the connection seems to be working but i can see only withe stripes on the tv monitor20:35
KM0201bioterror: meh, it's just less of a pain than dd (which i'd never really used until recently..)20:36
filippowhite20:36
bioterrorKM0201, :o20:36
bioterrordd is ten times faster20:36
KM0201yes20:36
KM0201but unetbootin has a GUI.. which can be more simple for the novice20:36
KM0201and unetbootin isn't that slow to be frank20:36
bioterroryou have dd'd that file on your usb in the time it takes to install unetbootin ;)20:37
milen8204I do not have dd neither20:38
bioterroryou should have it20:38
bioterrorit belongs to base installation20:38
filippook so just a simpler question: how can I understand if the vcad drivers are installed and working? I red about glxinfo but I'm not sure about the output20:39
milen8204KM0201, what distribution should I chose ?20:40
KM0201on unetbootin?20:40
milen8204yes20:40
milen8204UBUNTU20:40
milen8204?20:40
KM0201yes that should work fine20:40
bioterrorchoose iso file on your harddrive ;)20:41
milen8204:D20:41
KM0201milen8204: yes, choose the ISO on your hard drive if you've already downloaded the iSO20:41
bioterrorI hate unetbootin20:42
KM0201that should be obvious, but..20:42
milen8204ok thanks for the help20:42
KM0201bioterror: meh, it works, thats the only thing i require of it20:42
bioterrorbecouse you have to run it as root, and then navigate thru the /home/user/fooo/file20:42
milen8204I thimk I am burning my USB now :Д20:42
milen8204:)20:42
bioterrordont burn it20:42
milen8204why ?20:42
bioterroryou cant use it then20:42
bioterror:D20:42
KM0201i've been considering upgrading my nas to 7200rpm dries20:43
KM0201*drives20:43
KM0201just not sure i'd see any real benefit.20:43
bioterrordepends what you move20:43
bioterrorand store20:43
KM0201mostly it's a media server20:43
milen8204ohh Yes I can I have 3 times burn it and 5 times fry it :D20:43
KM0201movies, music20:43
bioterrorand if your network is the bottle neck20:43
KM0201thats the thing right there.20:44
nm_geoInteresting I just made two flash drives too.  Lubuntu-dessktop-amd64  &  Lubuntu-alternate-amd6420:44
KM0201i think my router is the bottleneck20:44
milen8204it has stop on 4%20:44
KM0201milen8204: it's not stopping20:44
KM0201it just pauses there for a few minutes20:44
KM0201(well, about 1min)20:44
KM0201let it finish20:44
KM0201it's unpacking something, if i recall correctly20:44
milen8204ok I am going to wait :D20:44
bioterrorKM0201, you can stream 1080p movies from USB2.0 without a problem20:45
bioterrorso 5400RPM drive wont be a problem for that use20:45
KM0201yeah20:45
KM0201i think its my router more than my laptop, so it's probably a pointless upgrade20:45
KM0201that was actualy the reasoning i was using yesterday when thnking about this.20:45
KM0201i probably could have went w/ a faster cpu as well.20:46
KM0201it still works great though,20:46
milen8204I am going to restart and install Lubuntu 12.04 висх ме луцк :D20:46

bioterroras there's those tty's free20:47
bioterrorKM0201, not with the alternate20:47
KM0201oh, i was referring to the live cd20:47
nm_geoYou know all Ubuntu version are hybrid/isos and you can use dd to make your flash drives now20:47
KM0201he made a live usb didn't he?.. cuz i think the alt-cd doesn't work properly from USB.20:47
bioterrornm_geo, that's what I pointed out 10 minutes ago20:48
nm_geoyeah i was not in then20:48
KM0201nm_geo: of course i know that, i didn't say dd couldn't be used...20:48
foloim downloading this game called runescape, so i downloaded it onto desktop, i made it executable, and i now i want to open it with wine, and when i click on wine, it doesnt let me click okay, so i have to open other programs in wine, which arent the correct thing, what do i open it with, its called runescape.msi20:48
filippoehm, not sure and sorry to interrupt but did you received my previous message?20:48
bioterrorKM0201 just likes to point things with mouse instead of typing with keyboard20:48
KM0201folo: did you install it inside wine?20:48
KM0201bioterror: lol, touche'20:49
folohow do i do that?20:49
KM0201folo: wine "/path/to/file/setup.exe"20:49
nm_geoKM0201 THE ALT DOES WORK ON FLASH DRIVE20:49
KM0201nm_geo: i haven't tried it in a long time, so you might be right.20:49
KM0201i know e erytime i tried it before, it would choke on trying to find the installation media20:49
nm_geoI just made one today for this spin20:49
milen8204the USB didnt start :(20:50
KM0201milen8204: what did it do20:50
folokm020120:50
milen8204didnt find some files20:50
foloi dont understand20:50
nm_geomilen8204 you want the dd command for USB20:50
bioterrormilen8204, ofcourse not, you used unetbootin and it's really exact about the filesyste you use20:50
milen8204UI or some like this20:50
bioterrormilen8204, that's why I in the first place suggested to use dd20:50
folowhy can i just open it with wine?20:50
* KM0201 has never had a problem with unetbootin20:50
KM0201folo: because it has to be installed inside wine, would be my assumption20:51
milen8204bioterror, I coundnt tun the dd20:51
folohow do i install it with wine20:51
nm_geoI use both and startup disk creator too20:51
milen8204tun=run20:51
foloyou just gave me some code20:51
folowhich i dont know how to use20:51
bioterrormilen8204, why not?20:51
bioterrormilen8204, if you have lubuntu installed, you have dd installed20:51
milen8204I do not know20:51
bioterrorGNU/Linux Operating Systems never comes without dd20:52
KM0201folo: i told you   open a terminal, wine "/path/to/file/setup.exe"20:52
milen8204I have folder isolinux it mys be syslinux right ?20:52
bioterrormilen8204, just dd that iso file to your usb drive20:52
KM0201milen8204: try dd, see if it works.. personally unetbootin/startup disk creator, have always worked for me20:52
bioterrorand forget all the rest20:52

bioterror.md5 should have same md5checksum21:52
Mr__i have discovered, at least for me, that upgrading from 11.10 to 12.04 is far less troublesome then a fresh install of 12.0422:43
Skater-AOA150I'll probably download the iso for 12.04 on the 27th, when it's finalized22:46
