[09:14] <s-fox> Hello.
[09:43] <zmalex> bioterror: Hi. I managed to resolve my apt-get problem
[09:45] <zmalex> bioterror: This link was very helpful. http://journalxtra.com/linuxsanity/fixing-the-dreaded-errors-were-encountered-while-processing-errors-1495/
[09:47] <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 ;)
[11:57] <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?
[14:36] <Ryoshia> anyone here?
[14:36] <Ryoshia> ??
[14:37] <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
[14:38] <Ryoshia> it's telling me that my repository indexes aren't available anymore
[14:39] <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
[14:40] <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
[14:41] <Ryoshia> which would require an ISO image and USB thumb drive, or CD (well for this PC a thumb drive)
[14:41] <Ryoshia> right?
[14:42] <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..
[14:43] <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
[14:44] <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
[14:45] <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
[14:46] <holstein> you just get ubuntu installed, and go from there ... i would expect performance to generally increase
[14:47] <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
[14:48] <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
[14:50] <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
[14:51] <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
[14:52] <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
[14:53] <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
[14:54] <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
[14:55] <holstein> Ryoshia: i assure you have have acceptable resolution on several intel netbooks, and have since karmic or so
[14:56] <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
[14:59] <Sidewinder> Looks like he's currently using Pidgin.
[17:27] <x__> hi need some help tryin to switch off acpi to do install, getting an error tosh_acpi not  found and install freeze at 87% using natty
[17:30] <holstein> x__: i would refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingACPI , and maybe consider trying 12.04 live
[17:31] <x__> holstein: tks for answering, using backbox which is natty
[17:33] <holstein> x__: i would try ubuntu.. could be custom kernels breaking functionality
