MissVeraQuestion. I installed, and it went perfectly, then it loaded the OS, then i turned off the computer. Turned it on later, and, after the post, I get a black screen, with a blinking cursor. I can still load it through the Live cd, but, without it, i just get the cursor. Someone had told me to edit something in grub, but, I cant get there...01:21
mackmoney3000MissVera, hold down shift as it boots01:27
mackmoney3000that should get you to grub01:27
MissVeraIt doesnt.01:27
MissVeraAs I said :(01:27
MissVeraIt gives me the post, and then black screen.  No bios, no booting, no grub.01:28
mackmoney3000ah, i was hoping that would do it :(01:28
mackmoney3000you don't get the bios screen or memory check?01:28
MissVeraI can get into setup... thats about it.  But, I can still boot from the "live cd"01:29

bikcmpdoes anyone know if xubuntu supports the hp mini 110's wifi driver?03:45
bikcmpi know ubuntu does.03:45
bikcmpi don't believe debian does.03:45
Unit193Than so does Xubuntu.03:45
bikcmpat the least, built in.03:45
bikcmpUnit193: it has 'restricted drivers'?03:45
bikcmpas ubuntu calls it?03:45
Unit193Ubuntu calls it "Additional Drivers" ;)03:45
Unit193(And yep, installed by default and should tell you about any on first boot)03:46
bikcmp:)03:46
bikcmpUnit193: i think my mind is set on xubuntu then03:46
bikcmpUnit193: how light is xubuntu? i'm on a teeny weeny netbook03:46
Unit193Specs?03:46
bikcmpmy phone is faster, though my phone is 1.2 ghz dual core03:46
bikcmpUnit193: hp mini 110- intel atom n270 @ 1.66 ghz03:46
bikcmp1 gig of ram03:46
bikcmpi hope to upgrade soon03:46
bikcmphonestly considering a chromebook03:46
Unit193I've got it on a P4 with 2G, as well as a P-M with 1G.03:47
bikcmphow well does it run?03:47
bikcmpi know ubuntu at first ran great on here03:47
bikcmpwell03:47
bikcmp'ok' great anyway03:47
bikcmpi'm running 10.04, btw03:47
bikcmpbut then it BOGGED down.03:47
bikcmpand i didn't really install that much...03:47
Unit193You have to live with a few things that annoy, but some settings help.03:48
bikcmpUnit193: like what?03:48
Unit193Flash works better on the P-M than P4, but since that's newer I'd guess it'd also work better.03:48
Unit193(But really, when does flash work that great? :P )03:49

MissVeraAnyone know anything about this? I already edited grub. but when i tried to update it, it gave me this error /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannotfind a device for / (is /dev mounted?).04:07
psycho_oreoscheck mount04:19
MissVerapsycho_oreos Wouldnt know how. I'm new.04:24
psycho_oreosMissVera, in another terminal type `mount| grep /dev| wc -l` (without quotes)04:25
psycho_oreosMissVera, no dice with that command?04:41
MissVerapsycho_oreos  I went outside for a cigarette, and to contemplate paying a hobo 20 dollars to beat me to death with my desktop, so linux could kill my body as well as my brain.   :x04:42
MissVeraI've tried one distro after another for about a week now. At least I've learned something out of the whole ordeal. But. being a windows convert is rough.04:43
psycho_oreosinitially the conversion is rough but it gets easier when you persist.04:46
MissVeraI've persisted. dammit. And it still sucks. I cant install one distro to save my life.  Anyway, im headed in. i'll give your command a try.04:47
psycho_oreosand linux has come a long way since when I first treaded on linux. Back then to get ISA based sound card to work under linux was insanely hard.04:47
* psycho_oreos wonders why are you fiddling with grub anyway04:48
MissVeralol04:48
MissVeraLong story short. I installed, no problem. then rebooted, and after the post, i got a black screen with a cursor. Stuck. So. someone pointed me to here. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132  which told me, that  after i install, to alter the grub config04:49
MissVerawhich, i repartitioned, reinstalled, and once i was in, changed the config, but when i went to save it, it gave me that error04:49
MissVeraThe other weird thing,  someone in #Ubuntu, told me to try updating everything. and as i was, it stopped and told me i was out of disk space, when, i just did a fresh install and had 55 gb free.04:50
buntyhey all04:51
MissVeraSo i was pointed here.. http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video  which i havent tried yet, and seems very confusing.  but in the mean time, you answered, so thats one more thing to try04:51
psycho_oreoshmm, 55GB free in total? or 55GB free in maybe / and /var?04:51
buntysilly question, how do I change the theme in xfce. I got the faenza icons and the theme but when I switch to the icons not all the icons change or are found04:51
MissVera60 free total. but after the install and updating, shouldve been around 55 at least.04:52
psycho_oreosand what config specifically which gave you that error? iinm grub2 requires editing of that conf file iinm and issue update-grub04:52
MissVeraI just did update-grub and it gave me that error i posted.04:52
MissVeraAll i changed was adding in the  "nomodeset" thing.04:53
psycho_oreosto me it sounds like you were probably in some recovery mode, though its a little weird that /dev isn't mounted04:53
psycho_oreosbunty, nfi, have you tried asking in #xfce for instance?04:53
pleia2bunty: it's one of our FAQ for the last release (see #7): http://xubuntu.org/news/faq-1110-oneiric/04:55
pleia2bunty: there are a few different components to a theme though, so you might just have part of it04:56
MissVeraanother oddity, the mouse leaves tracers. Whatever thats all about04:59
MissVerapsycho_oreos, how do i open a second terminal? It only seems to open and close the one05:00
psycho_oreostracers? like the mouse `cursor icon' stays there for two seconds or so when you move the mouse cursor around before disappearing?05:00
MissVeraexcept, it doesnt disappear, i have little scattered icons everywhere.05:00
psycho_oreosMissVera, I'm guessing it would be Ctrl+Shift+T, though you can always run another instance of the terminal05:00
psycho_oreoshmm that could be because of the video driver you are using I suppose05:01
MissVeraK, i entered your command, and it said "5"   :x05:02
psycho_oreosdev appears to be mounted from that output.. hmm05:02
MissVerawhich means...?  :x05:03
psycho_oreosthe issue is not with devfs being not mounted05:03
psycho_oreospastebin me your `mount' output05:04
MissVerapastebin?05:04
MissVeraSS?05:04
psycho_oreos!pastebin05:04

psycho_oreosits a little hard for me to explain what devfs is apart from it enabling linux to access raw device (like storage devices), without devfs (i.e. not mounted) linux does not have access to raw devices and hence cannot write anything to raw devices. Lots of programs ultimately depend on devpts being mounted05:06
MissVeraIts alright. I realize there are some things I just DON'T understand right now.05:07
MissVeralike... Someone told me me fix is this http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video  And I got about a minute and a half in before i realized I was completely clueless05:07
MissVeraIm trying to get on firefox, on the OS with the issues, so i can do your pastebin thing, but its just not opening >.>05:08
Unit193Then do  mount |pastebinit05:17
MissVeraoh!05:20
MissVeraI've been taking pictures of my screen like a derp. Thank you.05:20
MissVerahttp://paste.ubuntu.com/1070712/05:21
psycho_oreosahh *facepalms self* I see where I went wrong.. your hard disk installation is mounted but it is not mounted as /, rather its mounted as /target which would mean that you'd be in recovery05:24
MissVera...okay05:25
MissVeraSo...05:28
psycho_oreosI'm not sure of how to rectify this as the ideas I thought of are more like hacks which may (or may not..) work05:29
=== `mOOse` is now known as m00se
MissVeraI dont even really understand what the problem is..05:30
MissVeraI just know it's not working right.  Any of it.05:30
psycho_oreosthe problem was that your video card was not supported at boot, it could just be unsupported or buggy driver. So the fixes you were trying to do bypasses those issues but now grub needs to make changes to your base installation but it cannot find the base because its not set as / instead its set as /target05:33
MissVeraLinux is depressing05:34
MissVeraYeah. I"m going to go play L4D2 to bypass this install-rage. bbl05:36
buntyI believe MissVera needed to mount dev, proc, sysfs, devpts to target and then chroot /target and run grub-install05:57
psycho_oreosdevpts was mounted from that pastebin, and /target cannot be mounted without /dev which /dev was actually mounted iinm06:02
psycho_oreosthough I'd agree MissVera needed to chroot in06:04
buntyyeah mount --bind /dev /target/dev06:06
