| raubvogel | How can I find out which device grub thinks it was installed to? | 10:02 |
| bioterror | check /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 10:05 |
| bioterror | that's where it checks it out | 10:05 |
| raubvogel | bioterror: Thanks. Right now I am dist-upgrading a machine and got this: http://pastie.org/private/g4q677aemhwcqsx199mng | 10:05 |
| bioterror | you want to install it on /dev/sda | 10:05 |
| bioterror | no numbers | 10:06 |
| bioterror | just plain SDA | 10:06 |
| raubvogel | bioterror: Coolness. /boot/grub/grub.cfg was giving me loads of uuids, which makes me understand why it was bitching | 10:06 |
| bioterror | you will probably get a new more reasonable config file ;) | 10:06 |
| raubvogel | That is always an improvement :) | 10:07 |
| raubvogel | Fingers crossed while it reboots | 10:07 |
| raubvogel | it's back :) | 10:09 |
| raubvogel | bioterror: danke! | 10:12 |

| tats | hi | 20:30 |
| tats | i'm trying to install ubuntu as a dual boot on a pc with windows xp installed | 20:31 |
| tats | i ran the installation cd (ubuntu alternate on usb stick) but on the partition step i can't resize the ntfs partition | 20:31 |
| tats | how can I resize the ntfs partition (make it smaller) so as to create a partition for linux? | 20:32 |
| bioterror | use gparted? | 20:33 |
| escott | tats, when you boot the livecd you can choose to "try ubuntu" and use gparted there | 20:35 |
| tats | escott: the livecd is not the same as the installation cd i guess | 20:36 |
| tats | cause i didn't see that option | 20:36 |
| geirha | They are the same | 20:37 |
| geirha | Anyway, which option did you choose at the partitioning step? | 20:38 |
| tats | manual | 20:38 |
| geirha | It should be possible to slide on the figures representing your harddrive and its partition... though I haven't tried the 12.04 installer yet | 20:38 |
| tats | geirha: i didn't see an option "try ubuntu" | 20:40 |
| geirha | the menu is hidden now. When there's a purple screen with a keyboard = human icon, you can hit a key on your keyboard to get the menu | 20:41 |
| geirha | Hm... or strike that | 20:42 |
| geirha | Just booted the 12.04 iso in a VM, you get the choice at the very first step of the installer, where you choose language and then you can click on "Try Ubuntu" or "Install Ubuntu" | 20:43 |
| tats | let me check once again | 20:43 |
| tats | nope | 20:44 |
| tats | i don't have the "Try ubuntu" option | 20:44 |
| tats | maybe because I'm using the alternate version | 20:45 |
| geirha | what is the first option you're greated with? | 20:45 |
| tats | "Install Ubuntu" | 20:45 |
| escott | tats, yeah the alternate installer is just the debian installer so there is no gui | 20:45 |
| tats | i see | 20:46 |
| geirha | Oh! sorry, I missed that you said the alternative iso earlier | 20:46 |
| escott | tats, you could probably ctrl-alt-f1 but i dont know how to resize from the cli parted | 20:46 |
| geirha | I'd consider just resizing it from windows | 20:47 |
| tats | geirha: yeah that's what i think would be best | 20:47 |
| geirha | just leave some unpartitioned space behind, and let ubuntu grab that | 20:47 |
| tats | is there a standard program on winxp to use for that? on windows xp? | 20:47 |
| geirha | I think so. Disk Management or something like that | 20:49 |
| tats | what is the difference between the standard ubuntu and the alternate? my friend recommended me to use alternate, i don't know why | 21:06 |
| tats | maybe i should use the standard install it would make everything much easier | 21:06 |
| escott | tats, alternate is no gui and supports raid/lvm and more exotic setups | 21:08 |
| tats | escott: ah ok, i understand now... it's because i want to use lvm | 21:09 |
