| Nosferath | Uh, hello there, I need help installing ubuntu studio on my pc | 00:50 |
|---|---|---|
| Nosferath | Is anyone there? | 00:51 |
| holstein | Nosferath: we are here | 01:08 |
| holstein | just ask :) | 01:08 |
| Nosferath | still there? | 01:40 |
| smartboyhw | o/ holstein | 01:40 |
| smartboyhw | Hi Nosferath | 01:40 |
| Nosferath | I need help installing ubuntu | 01:40 |
| Nosferath | I want to install it on my old pc | 01:40 |
| smartboyhw | Uh huh, you mean Ubuntu Studio? | 01:40 |
| Nosferath | yup | 01:40 |
| Nosferath | It already has xp installed though | 01:41 |
| smartboyhw | Dual boot. | 01:41 |
| Nosferath | no | 01:41 |
| smartboyhw | ? | 01:41 |
| Nosferath | I want to have Ubuntu only | 01:41 |
| Nosferath | I want to get rid of xp on that pc | 01:41 |
| Nosferath | it's my old one | 01:41 |
| hansfbaier | Is there any info on the web about kernel / realtime / low latency configuration? | 01:41 |
| smartboyhw | OK, then just backup your data, then use the erase disk and install option | 01:41 |
| Nosferath | erase disk, where do I get that? | 01:41 |
| Nosferath | wait | 01:41 |
| Nosferath | Where's that option? | 01:41 |
| holstein | hansfbaier: the kernel we ship is lowlatency.. if you need lower, you'll need a PPA | 01:41 |
| Nosferath | I saw it nowhere | 01:42 |
| smartboyhw | In the Ubuntu Studio DVD installer | 01:42 |
| smartboyhw | ? | 01:42 |
| Nosferath | Oh | 01:42 |
| Nosferath | When I selected the install option | 01:42 |
| Nosferath | there was some sort of crash | 01:42 |
| holstein | hansfbaier: the default is typically all most users need.. i wouldnt expect much more performance, though the realtime is available via PPA | 01:42 |
| Nosferath | I tried running ubuntu w/o install and it worked | 01:42 |
| hansfbaier | I use standard ubuntu though and like to add the ubuntu studio packages as needed | 01:42 |
| Nosferath | But when I tried to check some option | 01:42 |
| Nosferath | s | 01:42 |
| Nosferath | It crashed the same way | 01:43 |
| hansfbaier | ubuntu studio is merged with mainstream/universe now I assume....? | 01:43 |
| smartboyhw | hansbaier: Then use sudo apt-get install | 01:43 |
| holstein | Nosferath: i like to get to the live desktop... i like to see ubuntu running and see that the hardware is supported... i would do that, and report how the installer works | 01:43 |
| holstein | hansfbaier: the lowlatency kernel is in the repos | 01:43 |
| holstein | hansfbaier: the ppa i referenced will work with any *buntu | 01:43 |
| Nosferath | My hardware is supported, as it worked on my pc | 01:43 |
| smartboyhw | hansfbaier: Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ubuntu%20Studio%20Upgrade%20from%20Ubuntu | 01:43 |
| Nosferath | But for some reason it sort of crashed, let me try again to give you details | 01:44 |
| smartboyhw | Nosferath: Look at http://i.stack.imgur.com/gkaIA.png | 01:44 |
| hansfbaier | smartboyhw: Thanks1 | 01:44 |
| smartboyhw | hansfbaier: NP | 01:44 |
| holstein | Nosferath: you have seen the live desktop running? | 01:44 |
| Nosferath | oh kk | 01:44 |
| Nosferath | Yes | 01:44 |
| Nosferath | It ran | 01:44 |
| hansfbaier | smartboyhw: Thanks that's what I was looking for.... | 01:44 |
| smartboyhw | :) | 01:44 |
| Nosferath | but after clicking some things (I'm new with ubuntu/linux) it crashed | 01:44 |
| smartboyhw | Er, what? Which version are you downloading?? Nosfertath, it shouldn't crash | 01:45 |
| holstein | you can open any package manager and search "ubuntustudio"... you also dont need ubuntustudio.. you can just install what packages you want | 01:45 |
| smartboyhw | Yeah yeah yeah, I just did it yesterday, installing Ubuntu Studio in Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS:) | 01:46 |
| smartboyhw | Nosferath: Tell me when did it crash | 01:46 |
| holstein | sure.. and you can, but if you dont need to, i wouldnt.. you get a different UI.. quite a few changes | 01:46 |
| smartboyhw | Unity -> Xfce:) | 01:46 |
| Nosferath | It crashed again | 01:47 |
| holstein | right.. thats quite different... if you are used to unity, you can use all the apps from ubuntutsudio in unity on ubuntu | 01:47 |
| smartboyhw | Nosferath: Did you download the 12.04.1 ISO? Or are you using 12.10? | 01:47 |
| Nosferath | it says "panic occured, switching back to text console" | 01:47 |
| smartboyhw | Yeah, don't I know holstein:) | 01:47 |
| Nosferath | 12.04 | 01:48 |
| holstein | i would test the memory, the downloaded image, and the disc. the disk has a test on it Nosferath | 01:48 |
| Nosferath | .1 | 01:48 |
| holstein | and a memory tester | 01:48 |
| Nosferath | Ok | 01:48 |
| holstein | !md5 | Nosferath | 01:48 |
| ubottu | Nosferath: 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 | 01:48 |
| holstein | i might also test the hard drive, if only just a quick one | 01:48 |
| smartboyhw | Yeah, when boot you'll see five options, one for live, one for install, one for memory test, one for booting into first HDD, one for CD image check | 01:48 |
| Nosferath | My old pc doesn't work | 01:49 |
| Nosferath | at least, it's not well installed | 01:49 |
| holstein | Nosferath: what old PC? | 01:49 |
| smartboyhw | ? | 01:49 |
| Nosferath | "old" | 01:49 |
| holstein | are there 2 machines? | 01:49 |
| Nosferath | It's the pc where I'm trying to install the thing | 01:49 |
| holstein | the thing = ubuntustudio? | 01:49 |
| holstein | that pc "doesnt work" ? | 01:49 |
| Nosferath | I mean | 01:49 |
| Nosferath | the thing = ubuntu studio, yeah | 01:50 |
| holstein | i typically start testing hardware when a live CD or installer that i know is good fails | 01:50 |
| Nosferath | and doesn't work means, when I but into Xp, it doesn't work well, desktop won't load | 01:50 |
| Nosferath | and it's slow | 01:50 |
| Nosferath | gotta format it | 01:50 |
| holstein | right.. could be bad memory or a bad hard drive | 01:50 |
| Nosferath | haven't used it for a long time | 01:50 |
| Nosferath | how to check that? | 01:50 |
| Nosferath | also, that pc doesn't have internet connection | 01:51 |
| holstein | Nosferath: i would use the live CD for the memory test | 01:51 |
| holstein | Nosferath: i have other live CD's i prefer for testing the hard drive | 01:51 |
| Nosferath | Where do I get it? | 01:51 |
| holstein | sometimes there are tests in the bios.. you can use the ubuntu live CD | 01:51 |
| smartboyhw | Download it:) | 01:51 |
| holstein | http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ is the one i like to use.. but you can use the ubuntustudio live CD | 01:52 |
| Nosferath | ok | 01:52 |
| Nosferath | using the ubuntu one | 01:52 |
| smartboyhw | Good:) | 01:52 |
| Nosferath | if I install ubuntu, will the installation program format the hard drive to ext? | 01:56 |
| smartboyhw | Yes, ext4. | 01:57 |
| Nosferath | 52% completed | 02:00 |
| smartboyhw | Wait, you are installing Ubuntu or Ubuntu Studio now? | 02:01 |
| Nosferath | Memory test | 02:02 |
| Nosferath | It says Pass 54% | 02:03 |
| veric | I have a fresh install of 12.04 can anyone help me get the right packages to get flash and java to work right i have not been able to view any web videos | 02:03 |
| Nosferath | It's running test number 8, no errors so far | 02:03 |
| smartboyhw | OK | 02:03 |
| smartboyhw | veric: You mean Ubuntu Studio? | 02:04 |
| holstein | veric: if flash doesnt work in a live instance, it wont work.. did you try adding the router? | 02:04 |
| holstein | veric: everything you are telling me points to a network error | 02:04 |
| holstein | veric: you can also try #ubuntu or #xubuntu since this is not an ubuntustudio specific issue | 02:05 |
| veric | yes i put the router in | 02:05 |
| smartboyhw | holstein: Please keep the guys busy, I need to go for a breakfast and piano lesson:) | 02:06 |
| holstein | ok.. then try for troubleshooting installing the actual chrome browser | 02:06 |
| holstein | https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/ | 02:06 |
| holstein | it has its own version of flash that "just works" | 02:06 |
| holstein | veric: try going to this sight and take a screenshot for me if there are any errors | 02:07 |
| holstein | http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ | 02:07 |
| smartboyhw | *site | 02:07 |
| holstein | veric: do not install any add ons or extra packages | 02:07 |
| holstein | veric: just do that in that order as best you can | 02:07 |
| Nosferath | Test completed, it says no errors | 02:10 |
| holstein | i would test the hard drive... i would want to know that that is good since the live CD is not using it | 02:11 |
| holstein | Nosferath: | 02:11 |
| Nosferath | Ok | 02:11 |
| Nosferath | panic occured :/ | 02:13 |
| holstein | yup.. thats why im not sure that the live desktop has showed up in that version you are running | 02:14 |
| Nosferath | but I actually saw a desktop and all | 02:14 |
| holstein | sure.. and that can happen when a part is failing | 02:15 |
| holstein | Nosferath: was it with that *same* cd ? | 02:15 |
| Nosferath | uh, yup | 02:15 |
| holstein | anyways.. thats not constructive.. fact is, you can reboot and tap shift.. you'll see a list of options | 02:16 |
| holstein | at the botton, under F6, you can add arguments there | 02:16 |
| holstein | with older hardware, i'll literally just trial and error try all of them | 02:16 |
| Nosferath | what if I format the drive with gparted? | 02:16 |
| holstein | Nosferath: go for it | 02:17 |
| Nosferath | ok | 02:17 |
| Nosferath | lemme try to find the dvd | 02:17 |
| holstein | Nosferath: that wont effect the booting of that live CD | 02:17 |
| holstein | Nosferath: that hard drive can be unplugged and you should have gotten the same kernel panic | 02:17 |
| Nosferath | :/ what is it then | 02:17 |
| holstein | i would unplug anything uncessesary.. anything USB | 02:17 |
| Nosferath | My old pc may be old, but not THAT old | 02:17 |
| holstein | i would look in the bios,.. maybe disable some things unused | 02:18 |
| Nosferath | I'm not going to unplug anything | 02:18 |
| holstein | Nosferath: ? | 02:18 |
| Nosferath | just boot using gparted live and formatting the drive | 02:18 |
| holstein | you are not going to take my suggestion to unplug some USB devices? | 02:18 |
| Nosferath | It has no usb devices | 02:18 |
| Nosferath | as it hasn't been used for some time | 02:18 |
| holstein | OK.. then what are you not going to do that im suggesting to you? | 02:18 |
| Nosferath | It has a screen, a mouse and a keyboard | 02:19 |
| holstein | i just want to be clear on the point in which i start wasting my time | 02:19 |
| holstein | Nosferath: if it were my machine, i would disable some unwanted things from the bios | 02:19 |
| holstein | Nosferath: sometimes hardware gets taken out of the kernel.. hardware support | 02:20 |
| Nosferath | So, what exactly should I do? | 02:20 |
| holstein | we release every 6 months.. even a 4 year old computer is several kernels ago | 02:20 |
| holstein | Nosferath: i would troubleshoot | 02:20 |
| holstein | i can make suggestions | 02:20 |
| Nosferath | ok | 02:20 |
| holstein | if its been setting around, you never really know | 02:20 |
| holstein | sometimes, with older boxes, i try older versions of linux | 02:22 |
| holstein | i usually have puppy linux, knoppix and the latest ubuntu LTS and the last one | 02:22 |
| holstein | sometimes i just go with the path of least resistance.. if i just want ubuntu install and ubuntu 10.04 "just works".. i'll use it | 02:22 |
| Nosferath | Well, I'm new with linux and all that stuff | 02:23 |
| Nosferath | The closest to linux I've ever been is my android phone | 02:23 |
| holstein | cool.. live CD's are handy for diagnostics | 02:23 |
| holstein | they dont do anything to the current machine setup, and you learn about how a kernel can support the hardware | 02:23 |
| holstein | 10.04 has a totally different kernel than 12.04, and can support some "legacy" hardware that 12.04 wont out-of-the-box | 02:24 |
| Nosferath | hmm, I couldn't find my gparted dvd, if needed, I could burn another one, I still got the disc image | 02:24 |
| holstein | gparted should be tiny.. a little CD image | 02:24 |
| holstein | you can use gparted form any live CD you can get to boot on the hardware | 02:24 |
| Nosferath | Oh, also, I'm trying with 32 bits ubuntu | 02:24 |
| holstein | sure... 32 is fine | 02:24 |
| holstein | i only have a few 64bit installs | 02:25 |
| Nosferath | So, what should I do? | 02:27 |
| holstein | Nosferath: if it were my machine i would troubleshoot it.. i would remove variables.. i would try 12.04 and 10.04 live | 02:27 |
| holstein | Nosferath: you should do what you feel comfortable doing | 02:27 |
| holstein | if there is a hardware problem and its old.. it could be a waste of time and money to repair it | 02:28 |
| holstein | if you are into DIY, and handy, it could be a fun learning project | 02:28 |
| Nosferath | So instead of 12.04.01, just 12.04? | 02:28 |
| holstein | Nosferath: 10.04 | 02:28 |
| Nosferath | oh, 10 | 02:28 |
| holstein | the last LTS... i try that one too because it has a different and older kernel | 02:28 |
| Nosferath | Those are Ubuntu Studio versions, or just Ubuntu? | 02:28 |
| holstein | Nosferath: i would do ubuntu 10.04 | 02:29 |
| holstein | the download is smaller | 02:29 |
| holstein | if you want ubuntustudio you can add that later | 02:29 |
| holstein | you dont have *anything* now, so i would keep it simple | 02:29 |
| Nosferath | Okay | 02:29 |
| Nosferath | I'll continue tomorrow, got to go to bed | 02:30 |
| holstein | sure.. enjoy! | 02:30 |
| Nosferath | I'll need instructions on that, as I said, I don't know anything about adding features in Linux | 02:30 |
| holstein | Nosferath: sure.. but you have nothing to add anything to now | 02:32 |
| holstein | so, i suggest keeping it simple | 02:32 |
| Nosferath | I know | 02:32 |
| Nosferath | Okay | 02:32 |
| Nosferath | Many thanks for the help | 02:32 |
| holstein | if you want ubuntustudio 10.04, go for it | 02:32 |
| Nosferath | I'll be back tomorrow same time | 02:32 |
| holstein | cool! | 02:32 |
| Nosferath | Bubai | 02:32 |
| holstein | i wont be here til late tomorrow | 02:32 |
| lwizardl | hello | 04:29 |
| lwizardl | anyone awake ? | 04:29 |
| smartboyhw | lwizardl: Hi | 05:34 |
| smartboyhw | lwizardl, Are you here? | 05:38 |
| lwizardl | I am looking for information on making sounds etc for 8bit and 16bit | 06:22 |
| smartboyhw | OK | 06:23 |
| smartboyhw | making sounds? You mean installing the sound card or? | 06:23 |
| lwizardl | no like recording custom sounds etc | 06:25 |
| smartboyhw | ? | 06:25 |
| smartboyhw | Please tell it more specifically. | 06:25 |
| lwizardl | door buzzer, car horn, etc etc | 06:26 |
| lwizardl | the actual sounds not just a configure of the card | 06:27 |
| smartboyhw | Well, download the software | 06:27 |
| smartboyhw | .. | 06:32 |

| smartboyhw | Do you have a blank DVD or a rewritable one/ | 07:32 |
| drupin | no DVD... i have as the DVD writer drive is broken | 07:32 |
| drupin | have 8 GB flash drive | 07:32 |
| smartboyhw | wait, so you have a 8GB drive ONLY am I right? | 07:33 |
| drupin | yes 8GB pendrive but i am on Windows7 now | 07:34 |
| smartboyhw | Hmm now that's a problem | 07:34 |
| drupin | how? | 07:34 |
| smartboyhw | Wait | 07:35 |
| drupin | ok smartboyhw | 07:35 |
| smartboyhw | Why don't you just dual-boot it? | 07:35 |
| drupin | i dont want to install on HDD as i can take this with me wherever i go | 07:36 |
| drupin | i am always on the move | 07:36 |
| smartboyhw | Oh god, if you don't even have a DVD then it's SUPER difficult | 07:36 |
| drupin | but why is DVD needed when i have pendrive | 07:37 |
| smartboyhw | Wait, do you mean http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/#button | 07:37 |
| smartboyhw | And you just can't boot it now? | 07:37 |
| drupin | yes i did that... do you want me tell the exact .... it says something cannot mount | 07:38 |
| smartboyhw | You mean in Windows 7 that it just can't find the drive? | 07:38 |
| drupin | let me boot again | 07:39 |
| drupin | and tell you the error | 07:39 |
| drupin | ok brb | 07:39 |
| smartboyhw | ok brb | 07:39 |
| drupin | i cant even take a snapshot as it is in start up | 07:40 |
| drupin | let me see if i can take a pic fm mobile | 07:40 |
| drupin | ok brb | 07:40 |
| smartboyhw | drupin: How is the progress now? | 07:54 |
| drupin | not yet booted | 07:54 |
| drupin | i am charging my other mobile to take a snapshot | 07:54 |
| drupin | of the black screen | 07:54 |
| drupin | will update | 07:55 |
| drupin | ok brb | 07:58 |
| smartboyhw | OK. I will wait | 08:05 |
| smartboyhw | drupin: How's your progress? | 08:57 |
| tristanStrange | just checking before I push on any further. Is vgaswitcheroo known to work on ubuntuStudio 12.04? | 11:12 |
| smartboyhw | Dunno | 11:12 |
| drupin | smartboyhw, hello | 14:23 |
| smartboyhw | Hello | 14:23 |
| smartboyhw | Hello drupin | 14:24 |
| holstein | drupin: i would just get an ubuntu iso, and install using the USB drive as the destination for the install | 14:24 |
| holstein | i would put grub right on the USB stick | 14:24 |
| smartboyhw | Yep. | 14:24 |
| holstein | the end result will be basically the same in this regard.. it will be "linux on a stick" that you select from the bios to boot | 14:25 |
| smartboyhw | Then just install the ubuntustudio packages:) | 14:25 |
| holstein | the difference will be, it has a normal file system and users... and for all intentes and purposes, its a full linux install | 14:25 |
| holstein | yeah, you can use whatever iso you choose... ubuntustudio, xubuntu... some other distro | 14:25 |
| smartboyhw | yeah yeah yeah, thanks holstein:) | 14:26 |
| drupin | i did something else | 14:26 |
| drupin | with virtual box | 14:26 |
| drupin | but i guess its not saving the data on the pendrive | 14:27 |
| drupin | also in my PC is 32 bit | 14:27 |
| drupin | but its only accepting the 64 bit kernal | 14:27 |
| smartboyhw | drupin: What? | 14:27 |
| holstein | i would not expect ubuntustudio to benifit from being virtualized | 14:28 |
| smartboyhw | Yeah | 14:28 |
| holstein | you can look at it and use it, but audio performance will be poor at best | 14:29 |
| drupin | yes its not saving data insite the flash | 14:29 |
| smartboyhw | It's difficult, and it needs at least 2 GB. No good in audio:) | 14:29 |
| smartboyhw | I mean RAM | 14:29 |
| drupin | ok | 14:29 |
| holstein | i just install.. i do normal installs for persistent USB | 14:29 |
| drupin | holstein, plz tell me the grub procedure above | 14:29 |
| drupin | i will remove this virtual | 14:29 |
| holstein | drupin: i always reference | 14:30 |
| holstein | !grub | drupin | 14:30 |
| ubottu | drupin: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 14:30 |
| holstein | you can use one of the alternate installers and select where you want to put grub, which can be on any drive/partition or no where | 14:30 |
| drupin | i will put grub on the pendrive | 14:30 |
| drupin | ok brb | 14:33 |
| holstein | Unit193: are you busy? | 19:00 |
| Unit193 | holstein: Trying to get my head back, why? | 19:00 |
| holstein | i was wondering if youd go over something with someone... a flash player issue | 19:01 |
| holstein | ive hit the wall, and im about to ask about graphics drivers, though i cant imagine that would matter | 19:01 |
| holstein | you got a few minutes to just go through and make sure i havent missed anything? | 19:01 |
| Unit193 | Could try, but flash is never fun to do even though I haven't had many issues. | 19:01 |
| Unit193 | What plugin from the repo? | 19:01 |
| holstein | i know.. it just sux in general.. something for school im told | 19:01 |
| holstein | veric: ok.. bring it back in here please | 19:02 |
| holstein | Unit193: i had veric install chrome on 32bit ubuntu 12.04 | 19:02 |
| holstein | Unit193: it *didnt* have or use the flash player somehow | 19:02 |
| holstein | quite odd | 19:02 |
| holstein | last night, i suggested sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade and trying again from several browsers | 19:03 |
| holstein | http://imagebin.org/226620 | 19:03 |
| holstein | is the result.. crashing flash | 19:03 |
| Unit193 | If it is flashplugin-installer, I'd purge that and get adobe-flashplugin, noticed a couple differences, but not really anything major. | 19:03 |
| holstein | there are proprietary drivers available | 19:03 |
| holstein | for example http://imagebin.org/226621 | 19:04 |
| holstein | Unit193: i also suggested just ubuntu-restricted-extras | 19:04 |
| holstein | thinking that would just cover it all | 19:04 |
| holstein | anyways.. i think the next thing veric is to make sure you have the package Unit193 is suggesting | 19:05 |
| holstein | and try a proprietary graphics driver from that list | 19:05 |
| Unit193 | Yes, but if partner isn't enabled it goes for installer. | 19:05 |
| holstein | Unit193: likely not | 19:05 |
| Unit193 | Hardware rendering? | 19:05 |
| holstein | Unit193: supposed to be a fresh install | 19:05 |
| holstein | anyways.. that there is already a good idea Unit193 | 19:05 |
| Unit193 | drc had it, don't remember how... | 19:06 |
| Unit193 | chrome not pulling it in is very odd, not sure if I'd purge, delete deb cache and reinstall or not. | 19:07 |
| holstein | i know, right? | 19:07 |
| holstein | i think it was just not loading or working or whatever... i confirmed 32bit from uname -a | 19:08 |
| Unit193 | https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1127489 Could modify the setup of that, getting the 32 deb. | 19:09 |
| holstein | i like making sure the proper flash is there and trying the proprietary driver | 19:10 |
| veric | ok i will start with this If it is flashplugin-installer, I'd purge that and get adobe-flashplugin, noticed a couple differences, but not really anything major. | 19:11 |
| Unit193 | file /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepperflashplayer.so ? | 19:11 |
| drupin | m back | 19:14 |
| Unit193 | Howdy. | 19:14 |
| drupin | i have now booted fm the pendrive | 19:15 |
| drupin | but m not able the store any data in this | 19:15 |
| Unit193 | Did you make a persistent one following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDPersistence ? | 19:16 |
| drupin | no | 19:18 |
| drupin | let me tell | 19:18 |
| veric | sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin returns http://imagebin.org/226624 | 19:31 |
| Unit193 | !partner |Need this repo. | 19:33 |
| ubottu | Need this repo.: Canonical's partner repositories provide packages a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 19:33 |
| veric | ran ((sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner")) and had no response | 19:37 |
| Unit193 | Then should sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin | 19:38 |
| veric | installed no errors i opened http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ received same errors http://imagebin.org/226620 | 19:44 |
| Nosferath | Hey, holstein, are you there? | 19:50 |
| drupin | soory i am lost | 19:51 |
| drupin | i need reboot and find out and tell | 19:51 |
| drupin | but unit it was persistent | 19:52 |
| holstein | Nosferath: im back | 19:54 |
| holstein | drupin: i would literally just do an actual ubuntu install to the USB | 19:54 |
| holstein | veric: did you install the proprietary graphics driver? | 19:55 |
| veric | yes i did then i redooted | 19:55 |
| holstein | veric: and? | 19:55 |
| veric | installed like unit said had no errors on the install i opened http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ received same errors http://imagebin.org/226620 | 19:56 |
| holstein | veric: you installe the proprietary graphics driver as well? | 19:57 |
| veric | yes before following units steps | 19:57 |
| holstein | ok.. so you are using an nvidia proprietary graphics driver? and in chrome you are getting those errors? | 19:57 |
| veric | yes | 19:58 |
| Nosferath | I'm having a problem with my pc not related to ubuntu, so I'm trying to fix it | 19:58 |
| Nosferath | It's having a hard time recognizing ide drives | 19:58 |
| holstein | Nosferath: sounds like a failing drive | 19:58 |
| Nosferath | yup | 19:59 |
| Nosferath | maybe it's that | 19:59 |
| holstein | veric: please open chrome.. in the URL bar type "about:plugins" | 20:00 |
| holstein | hit the + by the details and scroll to "flash" entries and get me a ss of as much of it as you can | 20:01 |
| drupin | ok Unit193 its this tool .... http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ | 20:02 |
| drupin | m on windows now | 20:02 |
| holstein | i would use a CD or a usb stick with the iso added using something like unetbootin | 20:03 |
| holstein | i would install to the USB stick from that cd or usb stick i made | 20:04 |
| veric | hers the ss http://imagebin.org/226626 | 20:04 |
| veric | its not the latest version | 20:04 |
| holstein | sure, but that doesnt matter | 20:05 |
| veric | ok | 20:05 |
| holstein | not sure why you arent getting it | 20:05 |
| holstein | i did.. i ran sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade and i have the latest flash in chrom | 20:05 |
| holstein | 32bit | 20:05 |
| holstein | why dont you? | 20:05 |
| holstein | why is everything seemingly crashing flash on your box? | 20:06 |
| veric | im good on windows but everything i know hasent worked i tried for 2 day then i came here to find help im out of ideas | 20:09 |
| holstein | veric: try running those commands again | 20:09 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get update | 20:09 |
| veric | i am | 20:09 |
| holstein | go to the "wrench" in chrome and whats the version? | 20:10 |
| holstein | Version 21.0.1180.57 is mine | 20:10 |
| veric | do i keep running till i get no more gets? | 20:10 |
| holstein | veric: ? | 20:10 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get update.. should run and report no errors | 20:11 |
| holstein | should get back to the $ | 20:11 |
| holstein | then, you run sudo apt-get upgrade | 20:11 |
| veric | no errors but every time i run it shows some gets | 20:11 |
| holstein | some gets? | 20:12 |
| holstein | it'll check the repos for new packages each time | 20:12 |
| veric | Get: | 20:12 |
| veric | yes do i run it till they all say Hit or ign | 20:13 |
| holstein | yup | 20:14 |
| veric | i seen in a form you could add google repos do i need that? | 20:15 |
| holstein | should have happened when you installed using the .deb i linked to you | 20:15 |
| veric | ok | 20:16 |
| holstein | http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/google_chrome | 20:16 |
| holstein | regardless, you dont have the latest version | 20:17 |
| holstein | not sure why | 20:17 |
| holstein | and you are crashing flash with anything flash you click on | 20:17 |
| holstein | why is that? | 20:17 |
| holstein | veric: have you used the normal ubuntu CD? | 20:17 |
| veric | normal? i dl off ubuntu wedsite and burned an iso | 20:18 |
| holstein | veric: ubuntu? or ubuntustudio? | 20:19 |
| veric | ubuntu | 20:19 |
| holstein | ok... im not sure what to tell you... i would hit the main mailing list | 20:19 |
| holstein | i would try #ubuntu-beginners | 20:19 |
| holstein | i would try whatever it takes to get chrome to update | 20:20 |
| holstein | i would make a new user and try | 20:20 |
| holstein | let me try and think of who else to try... | 20:20 |
| veric | apt-get upgrade returns Get:1 http://dl.google.com stable Release.gpg [198 B] ---Get:2 http://dl.google.com stable Release ---Get:3 http://dl.google.com stable/main i386 Packages [1,244 B] every time Fetched 2,789 B in 2s (1,050 B/s) like it is not updateing those files | 20:21 |
| veric | tried a new user already with the same results | 20:22 |
| holstein | ok.. | 20:26 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install aptitude | 20:26 |
| holstein | sudo aptitude safe-upgrade | 20:26 |
| veric | that said all was good | 20:32 |
| holstein | double check in chrome that it is up to date | 20:34 |
| veric | no change in chrome | 20:35 |
| holstein | veric: so its not updating | 20:36 |
| holstein | veric: not sure what it is.. you are not getting upates | 20:36 |
| holstein | veric: thats just one thing im noticing | 20:36 |
| holstein | im not saying that is the issue.. im just saying you arent getting updates | 20:36 |
| veric | i agree | 20:36 |
| veric | how about making sure google repo are there | 20:37 |
| holstein | sure.. | 20:37 |
| veric | ok how do i do that the right way | 20:37 |
| holstein | i would just look at the sources.. you can do it in synaptic | 20:38 |
| veric | search for sources google? | 20:43 |
| holstein | veric: i would literally just open the sources file or sources in a GUI and see whats there.. should be obvious | 20:43 |
| holstein | or just try adding the one i linked earlier | 20:44 |
| holstein | veric: what brings you to #ubuntustudio? | 20:44 |
| holstein | lots of folks have good luck at askubuntu | 20:45 |
| veric | #ubuntu was no help | 20:45 |
| veric | searcherd in chanel list for ubuntu help and #ubuntustudio showed up | 20:46 |
| holstein | sure, but it is help for ubuntustudio typically | 20:46 |
| holstein | i would try #ubuntu-beginners and askubuntu | 20:47 |
| holstein | i'm not kicking you out, but i have been assuming you were running XFCE | 20:47 |
| holstein | we could pop over to #ubuntu-beginners and continue there though | 20:47 |
| holstein | i think that would be more appropriate | 20:48 |
| Nosferath | Hey, I'm checking disk now, remember it didn't work yesterday? | 20:48 |
| holstein | veric: what iso did you download? are you sure it was a stable 12.04? | 20:48 |
| veric | that would work just looking for someone to help | 20:48 |
| Nosferath | Well, I unplugged and replugged the drive, and now it seems to work. | 20:48 |
| holstein | veric: im thinking if i were you, i would try a different installer disc | 20:49 |
| veric | pierty sure how can i check | 20:49 |
| holstein | Nosferath: i had a bad IDE cable once that acted like that | 20:49 |
| veric | found it in details yes its ubuntu 12.04 LTS | 20:50 |
| holstein | veric: yes, but what iso did you download and burn? if you havent tested that , i would | 20:50 |
| Nosferath | UbuntuStudio is installing | 21:38 |
| Nosferath | No problems so far | 21:38 |
| Nosferath | The drive was not well connected it seems | 21:38 |
| holstein | sure.. or a bad cable.. or motherboard thats "on the way out" | 21:39 |
| Nosferath | OLOLO | 21:40 |
| Nosferath | Anyways, it's almost done installing | 21:40 |
| Nosferath | I'll have to get a wi-fi receiver for that pc | 21:40 |
| holstein | cool!.. hopefully thats all there is to it! | 21:41 |
| holstein | enjoy! | 21:41 |
| Nosferath | Thanks ^^ | 21:43 |
| Nosferath | I'll have to check each program to see what they do | 21:43 |
| Nosferath | Perfect! | 21:52 |
| Nosferath | It's installed and running | 21:52 |
| Nosferath | g2g | 21:52 |
| Nosferath | I'll be back at night | 21:52 |
| Nosferath | I'll tell you how is it going | 21:52 |
| Unit193 | holstein: Sorry mate, it turn out well? (LiLo, good tool.) | 21:53 |
| drupin | is there a way i can do this with any program from windows.... http://bit.ly/T3PQuF | 22:05 |
| === Unit193 is now known as TheMaster | ||
| holstein | drupin: unetbootin is available for windows | 22:32 |
| holstein | you make a bootable live USB and install to another USB stick | 22:32 |
| drupin | ok i thought so | 22:32 |
| holstein | virtualbox is available for windows | 22:32 |
| drupin | i will need one more flash the | 22:33 |
| drupin | then* | 22:33 |
| holstein | drupin: or a CD.. | 22:33 |
| drupin | no my DVD writer is broken | 22:34 |
| drupin | i have more flashes | 22:34 |
| holstein | enjoy! | 22:34 |
| drupin | is there some thing i can do the way done with virtual box | 22:34 |
| tech1 | my new pc dosnt even have an optical drive | 22:34 |
| drupin | ic | 22:35 |
| tech1 | usb or net :) | 22:35 |
| TheMaster | tech1: Oi, USB I hope! :P | 22:35 |
| tech1 | yeh | 22:35 |
| holstein | drupin: i would use 2 usb sticks.. thats easy | 22:35 |
| drupin | i guess i can use this virtual box to install the ISO on the flash | 22:36 |
| holstein | or unetbootin from windows | 22:36 |
| drupin | but unet boot in will be live image | 22:37 |
| drupin | not a hdd install | 22:37 |
| holstein | drupin: unetbootin will intall the iso on the flash, like you are proposing with virtualbox | 22:37 |
| holstein | just much easier | 22:37 |
| drupin | ok let me try | 22:38 |
| drupin | brb | 22:38 |
| drupin | guys when you people rest | 22:38 |
