| s-fox | Hello. | 09:14 |
|---|---|---|
| zmalex | bioterror: Hi. I managed to resolve my apt-get problem | 09:43 |
| zmalex | bioterror: This link was very helpful. http://journalxtra.com/linuxsanity/fixing-the-dreaded-errors-were-encountered-while-processing-errors-1495/ | 09:45 |
| zmalex | bioterror: Also I suffered from an install that didn't finish correctly due to updatedb being run on a mapped drive in my wm. So it thought that some files were already installed. Removing the mounted drive and runing a updatedb synched the fs and allowed me to do a fresh install of jetty. | 09:47 |
| zmalex | bioterror: Anyway. Thanks for your help and if anyone has the same problems you can tell them how to fix it ;) | 09:47 |
| tdn | I have a Kubuntu VM in virtualbox. It has suddenly stopped automatically adjusting the screen resolution when I resize the VM window. I have vboxadditions installed. How do I fix this? Is this a problem that should be addressed in vbox or in KDE? | 11:57 |
| Ryoshia | anyone here? | 14:36 |
| Ryoshia | ?? | 14:36 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: you can just ask.. its saves time | 14:37 |
| Ryoshia | ok thanks | 14:37 |
| Ryoshia | I am having some issues upgrading from Jaunty Jackalope to the newest version of ubuntu | 14:37 |
| Ryoshia | it's telling me that my repository indexes aren't available anymore | 14:38 |
| Ryoshia | I just turned on this computer in a couple of days, to give Ubuntu another go, after a couple of years of not using it.. | 14:39 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: yup | 14:39 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: jaunty is EOL | 14:40 |
| Ryoshia | so I went and tried to do some updates so I could have it up and running (I.E. Graphics Card drivers and such), and I can't even access those.. | 14:40 |
| holstein | you would need to go jaunty to karmic to lucid, then to 12.04 | 14:40 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: the easiest is to just backup (as you should before doing any major upgrade) and do a fresh install | 14:40 |
| Ryoshia | which would require an ISO image and USB thumb drive, or CD (well for this PC a thumb drive) | 14:41 |
| Ryoshia | right? | 14:41 |
| Ryoshia | or can I do that from the terminal XD | 14:42 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: you'll need to install it.. those are 2 methods | 14:42 |
| Ryoshia | I am a completely new to Ubuntu -_- | 14:42 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: yeah?... jaunty is quite old | 14:42 |
| Ryoshia | well.. I messed around with it a couple of months while I was in the Navy back in like 2010 | 14:42 |
| Ryoshia | but.. | 14:42 |
| Ryoshia | I was having resolution issues with this netbok | 14:43 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: if you have no data in jaunty, just let that go then, and do a fresh install of 12.04 | 14:43 |
| holstein | you'll download the iso, and install from CD or USB... is that an issue? | 14:44 |
| Ryoshia | nope it isn't.. | 14:44 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: thats the best way... upgrading what you have, best case, on really nice internet could take days | 14:44 |
| Ryoshia | I'm just concerned that this PC might not be able to handle 12.04 because it is like a two year old netbook XD | 14:45 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: you can try it live.. you have no data anyways.. so install and see | 14:45 |
| Sidewinder | Don't forget to md5sum the ISO, prior to burning/copying. | 14:45 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: i say, you'll be find.. you can try one of the more lean environments, xubuntu lubuntu | 14:45 |
| holstein | you just get ubuntu installed, and go from there ... i would expect performance to generally increase | 14:46 |
| holstein | you'll be fine* | 14:47 |
| Ryoshia | md5sum? | 14:47 |
| Ryoshia | what's MD5sum? | 14:47 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: if you have any issues with the install, you can come and we can help you verify the image you downloaded | 14:47 |
| Ryoshia | I'm downloading it from the official Ubuntu site as we speak. | 14:48 |
| holstein | if you'd like to research md5 sum checking and verify that before you burn, thats a good step | 14:48 |
| Sidewinder | !md5sum | Ryo | 14:50 |
| ubot2 | Ryo: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 14:50 |
| Sidewinder | !hashes | Ryoshia | 14:50 |
| ubot2 | Ryoshia: See http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/9.10/MD5SUMS for the md5sums of the latest Ubuntu release | 14:50 |
| Ryoshia | oh XD | 14:50 |
| Sidewinder | Hope that helps. :-) | 14:51 |
| Ryoshia | now here's a question... how would I go about getting the Intel video drivers XD | 14:51 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: intel is typically well supported, and "just works" | 14:51 |
| Sidewinder | They should already be there. | 14:51 |
| Ryoshia | so I can actually get Ubuntu to fit my screen XD | 14:51 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: again, if you have any issues, just come here | 14:51 |
| Ryoshia | because right now my desktop is WAAY too big for my screen I can't see everything >< | 14:52 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: thats "resolution" .. you can have the resolution set to something thta is not appropriate for you with *any* driver | 14:52 |
| Ryoshia | when I lower it.. it doesn't work either.. | 14:53 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: should see a "display" or "monitor" icon somewhere | 14:53 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: cool.. you can report on how that "doesnt work" and we can go from there | 14:53 |
| holstein | assuming 12.04 is not working for you | 14:53 |
| Ryoshia | it's not the resolution my monitor isn't recognized | 14:54 |
| Ryoshia | it's unknown | 14:54 |
| Ryoshia | that's the issue I believe Ubuntu doesn't recognize the monitor | 14:54 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: again.. after installin 12.04, we can troubleshoot | 14:54 |
| holstein | Ryoshia: i assure you have have acceptable resolution on several intel netbooks, and have since karmic or so | 14:55 |
| holstein | i have 1024x600 which works quite well right now | 14:56 |
| holstein | you could have copied and pasted something at some point to try and "fix" something that is actualy making things worse | 14:56 |
| holstein | you could have a kernel that doesnt support your hardware.. best thing is to install 12.04, and we can troubleshoot if needed | 14:56 |
| Sidewinder | Looks like he's currently using Pidgin. | 14:59 |
