| Pip__ | Hey folks. I've 3gb RAM in a rig running 32bit 12.04 with an 8400GS nvidia graphics card & it still only sees 2.7 gb of the RAM. Any ideas what's happening with that? | 14:46 |
| holstein | Pip__: thats what i would expect to see | 14:53 |
| cortman | That sounds fairly normal to me Pip__ | 14:53 |
| holstein | could the shared ram, or an estimate by the manufacturer, or the OS... i wouldnt lose sleep over it | 14:54 |
| cortman | I think my 4 GB laptop shows 3.8 or something like that- though why it shows that and not the full 4 GB I'm not sure. | 14:55 |
| cortman | I don't believe your computer is utilizing any less of its available RAM. | 14:55 |
| smartboyhw | Yeah, my computer shows only 3.8 GB usable, but with 4.0GB RAM. | 14:56 |
| rajanmasterp | Please help in my ubuntu customised 12.04 Please help to fix some errors | 14:57 |
| cortman | What errors are you seeing rajanmasterp ? | 14:57 |
| rajanmasterp | ok thanks I can't open ubuntu softwere centre and tweek | 14:58 |
| rajanmasterp | I am still using this customised version | 14:58 |
| cortman | What happens when you try opening the software center? | 14:58 |
| Pip__ | holstein, cortman: thanks, it was just freaking me out a bit | 14:59 |
| rajanmasterp | any one help me | 14:59 |
| holstein | Pip__: no worries... enjoy! | 14:59 |
| holstein | rajanmasterp: what customized version? is there a support channel for that distro? | 14:59 |
| rajanmasterp | An error appears ubuntu softwere centre closed unexpectly | 15:01 |
| rajanmasterp | No There is no support | 15:01 |
| Pip__ | thanks again guys, ttfn | 15:01 |
| rajanmasterp | 12.04 lts | 15:01 |
| holstein | rajanmasterp: what operating system are you using? | 15:01 |
| holstein | rajanmasterp: what do you mean by "customized"? | 15:01 |
| rajanmasterp | ubuntu Which i customised | 15:02 |
| holstein | rajanmasterp: in what way? | 15:02 |
| stlsaint | rajanmasterp: questin is HOW did you customize it.... | 15:02 |
| stlsaint | holstein: +1 | 15:02 |
| rajanmasterp | I added all packages to 12.04 and used ubuntu builder to create new distro | 15:02 |
| holstein | rajanmasterp: open the terminal, and run "sudo apt-get update" ...pastebin any errors | 15:03 |
| rajanmasterp | I run already that | 15:03 |
| stlsaint | rajanmasterp: ubuntu builder is NOT used to create a new distro | 15:03 |
| holstein | rajanmasterp: ok... share the error output after running it again | 15:03 |
| stlsaint | rajanmasterp: it is used to create a .deb to allow custom settings but it is by no means meant to be a distro builder | 15:04 |
| rajanmasterp | then how can I do that | 15:04 |
| stlsaint | rajanmasterp: use a application called remastersys http://remastersys.com/ | 15:04 |
| rajanmasterp | I used first remastersys easy way.But I want just like an official ubuntu.Then I used ubuntu builder | 15:05 |
| holstein | i would troubleshoot like a normal ubuntu install rajanmasterp ...i would look for and apply upgrades..i would try launching the application from the terminal to see error output, i would try as a different user to remove the current .config files from the equation | 15:06 |
| stlsaint | rajanmasterp: a custom ubuntu is not an official ubuntu. Remastersys is quickest and easiest way | 15:06 |
| rajanmasterp | drcksd@drcksd-HCL-Notebook:~$ sudo apt-get update [sudo] password for drcksd: Ign http://dl.google.com stable InRelease Get:1 http://dl.google.com stable Release.gpg [198 B] Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net precise InRelease Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net precise InRelease Ign http://security.u | 15:06 |
| stlsaint | !pastebinit | 15:06 |
| ubot2 | pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 15:06 |
| holstein | rajanmasterp: you can just share the errors, if there are any.. you can try launching the software center from the terminal and look for errors as well | 15:07 |
| stlsaint | rajanmasterp: that format does not help. if you need to paste something use pastebin.com or the like | 15:07 |
| rajanmasterp | sorry how to use pastebin | 15:08 |
| holstein | rajanmasterp: take a look at the link stlsaint linked above | 15:10 |
| holstein | !pastebin | rajanmasterp | 15:10 |
| ubot2 | rajanmasterp: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 15:10 |
| holstein | rajanmasterp: you can just look at the output and see if there are errors | 15:12 |
| pecc | hi, I'm stuck at installing from USB... everything went fine (formatting C) but now we're stuck in the Choose Picture scene -- the choosing/webcam responds smoothly but clicking on the buttons (Back/Install) does nothing, it's been like this for the last 10 min | 15:12 |
| holstein | formatting c? | 15:13 |
| smartboyhw | Dude, I think he's using Windows. | 15:13 |
| pecc | yes, the laptop has win 7 previously and we're getting rid of it | 15:13 |
| holstein | pecc: let me suggest... run the live CD.. get to the desktop, install from there | 15:14 |
| pecc | cannot use CD, no CD drives available whatsoever | 15:14 |
| smartboyhw | WHAT!?!?!?!?!?!?! | 15:14 |
| cortman | A ubiquity problem, it sounds like. | 15:15 |
| smartboyhw | Yes, it is. | 15:15 |
| smartboyhw | Report bug. | 15:15 |
| holstein | pecc: right.. the live CD that you have made into a live USB is what im reffereing to | 15:15 |
| holstein | pecc: use that to get to the desktop... OR, you can also try installing the OS with the alternate installer | 15:15 |
| pecc | ach ok so run Win 7, open device folder, run the stuff on USB from there? | 15:16 |
| holstein | pecc: i dont know anything about win7.. im talking about installing ubuntu from the live CD where i assume you are having issues | 15:16 |
| cortman | I think basically... restart the installation (boot from the USB drive). | 15:17 |
| holstein | pecc: i would start by botting the cd or USB | 15:17 |
| holstein | booting* | 15:17 |
| pecc | oooook | 15:17 |
| cortman | It could just be some hangup that won't repeat itself. | 15:17 |
| pecc | we'll try it then | 15:17 |
| cortman | good luck. :) | 15:17 |
| pecc | thx (: | 15:17 |
| holstein | depends on what you want... this will install ubuntu, either replacing win7, or beside win7 | 15:17 |
| pecc | I'll let you know how it goes | 15:17 |
| cortman | Do that | 15:17 |
| pecc | Initially we chose beside, but I had big trouble understanding the partition screen (it didn't give option for auto partition) and my friend here swears she's fine with only Ubuntu on this particular laptop... | 15:18 |
| pecc | aha now it's at "Preparing to install Ubuntu" where it checks that you have the dish space and a net conenction and whatnot... clicked continue, error: ubi-partman failed with exit code 10 (this didn't happen last time) | 15:23 |
| smartboyhw | God, another bug or something? | 15:24 |
| pecc | "try again" fixed that though | 15:24 |
| smartboyhw | YEAH! | 15:24 |
| smartboyhw | Continue, pecc. | 15:24 |
| pecc | similar (but not same) type of error occurred at later parts last time, starting from "choose timezone" at 2 or 3 different parts, "try again" didn't help for 5 tries at any point | 15:25 |
| pecc | continuing now | 15:25 |
| pecc | wow | 15:25 |
| smartboyhw | ? | 15:25 |
| pecc | "This computer currently has Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on it" | 15:25 |
| smartboyhw | Wait, don't you have Windows 7 on it? | 15:26 |
| pecc | I'll abort this installation and see if I can run that | 15:26 |
| smartboyhw | Don't abort!!!!!! | 15:26 |
| pecc | not anymore it seems! | 15:26 |
| pecc | it seems it started installing anyways even though the button didn't seem to respond and the "choose picture" stayed there | 15:27 |
| pecc | so it erased Win 7 and installed at least partly Ubuntu | 15:27 |
| cortman | Right | 15:27 |
| cortman | Sounds to me like the ISO image you made the USB disk with was corrupt | 15:27 |
| pecc | so, try to "erase and reinstall"? | 15:27 |
| smartboyhw | God, re-download the ISO. | 15:28 |
| cortman | Or else the bootable USB wasn't made correctly | 15:28 |
| pecc | I used LiLi USB creator for that | 15:28 |
| cortman | LiLi is awesome | 15:28 |
| cortman | So you're probably good there. | 15:28 |
| smartboyhw | Lili's great | 15:28 |
| pecc | ok, remake USB-booter-live-CD-thing | 15:29 |
| cortman | You can try the part-installation or redo it, but if you still don't have any luck I'd say re-download the ISO and check the md5sum for integrity. | 15:29 |
| pecc | let's go | 15:29 |
| cortman | How to check md5sums >> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM/ | 15:29 |
| smartboyhw | MD5 or SHA1, I like SHA1. | 15:30 |
| pecc | "Erase Ubuntu blah blah and reinstall", "The entire disk will be used", click "install now" > "no root file system is defined, use partitioning menu" | 15:31 |
| cortman | smartboyhw, you don't use sha1 to verify ISOs. | 15:31 |
| pecc | "ok" > auto redirect to Instalaltion type, "ubi-partman failed with exit code 141" | 15:31 |
| pecc | ugh | 15:31 |
| smartboyhw | Sometimes. | 15:31 |
| cortman | Yeah, re-download the ISO pecc | 15:31 |
| smartboyhw | I even use SHA256! | 15:31 |
| smartboyhw | They are available on download pages. | 15:32 |
| cortman | Backup: you are right- I forgot sha1sum | 15:32 |
| pecc | alright, and presumably format the USB drive and install the re-dloaded ISO via LiLi? | 15:32 |
| cortman | Yep- just check the "format drive" option in LiLi | 15:33 |
| cortman | But do check the md5sum using the methods in the link I gave you | 15:33 |
| pecc | ugh more downloads | 15:34 |
| pecc | but ok will do | 15:34 |
| pecc | checksums identical, moving on... | 15:44 |
| pecc | (assuming they are supposed to be identical :P) | 15:44 |
| cortman | Yep they should be lol | 15:45 |
| smartboyhw | Bye! | 15:49 |
| pecc | Lili running | 15:59 |
| pecc | ready to retsy installing | 16:09 |
| pecc | 'RETRY | 16:09 |

| IAmNotThatGuy | pecc, what is your machine configuration? what version of Ubuntu are you trying? | 16:16 |
