| drupin | I am not able to load the newly installed OS on a flash drive wit two ext3 partitions one for os and other casper-rw. is there any way i can fix what is broken in the OS ... The message i get is no operating system found... first time it was loaded and grub menu came and it took forever so i came in recovery mode and did the update after that its not reading the OS.. | 03:40 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | drupin: what? | 04:31 |
| drupin | No operating system found on boot from flash drive | 04:32 |
| holstein | whats on the flash drive? is it a good drive? | 04:32 |
| drupin | this is second time i am install the OS in it | 04:33 |
| drupin | ext3 | 04:33 |
| holstein | why ext3? | 04:33 |
| drupin | i can see the system files in it | 04:33 |
| holstein | how did you do the install? maybe you didnt get it right | 04:33 |
| drupin | i partitioned the flash in two | 04:34 |
| drupin | one for OS and other with label casper-rw | 04:34 |
| holstein | sure, but that requires a custom installer scenario | 04:34 |
| holstein | maybe you did that incorretly | 04:34 |
| drupin | and then i installed from th installer | 04:35 |
| holstein | i would probably just try reinstalling, since that takes so little time, and just go with the defaults | 04:35 |
| drupin | to the / | 04:35 |

| drupin | i can see all the OS files in it | 04:36 |
| drupin | gess it the grub issue | 04:36 |
| holstein | drupin: cool.. then restore grub, and reboot and enjoy | 04:36 |
| drupin | how can i restore | 04:36 |
| holstein | otherwise, you might want to entertain why the grub install could have failed during installation | 04:36 |
| holstein | could be a bad stick | 04:37 |
| drupin | sudo update-grub /dev/sdc1 | 04:37 |
| drupin | /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?) | 04:37 |
| holstein | i would literally not waste anymore time on it since its a fresh install with no data | 04:37 |
| holstein | since installs are like 15 minutes now.. or less | 04:37 |
| holstein | when i want to restore grub, i reference | 04:37 |
| holstein | !grub | drupin | 04:37 |
| 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) | 04:37 |
| holstein | the bit about recovering from a live CD | 04:38 |
| drupin | it takes ok | 04:38 |
| holstein | it takes ok? | 04:38 |
| drupin | let me try boot repair | 04:42 |
| holstein | drupin: its more envolved than just running sudo update-grub | 04:42 |
| holstein | or it was when i recovered grub | 04:42 |
| drupin | there is mounting and all | 04:43 |
| drupin | i flagged boot in gparted before install | 04:45 |
| drupin | may be it screwed the default parameters | 04:45 |
| holstein | drupin: i would just let the defaults go by once, and get a booting system | 04:45 |
| drupin | the dafault waste the 4 GB | 04:46 |
| holstein | drupin: it just might bootup thought, and you can customize after that | 04:46 |
| drupin | but what about casper-rw | 04:47 |
| holstein | drupin: i wouldnt expect ubuntustudio to fit on 4gb's.. i would start with xubuntu or lubuntu and add what is needed | 04:47 |
| holstein | drupin: im not sure what you are doint casper-rw | 04:47 |
| drupin | the flash is 8 GB | 04:47 |
| drupin | xubuntu lubuntu are they minimalist install? | 04:49 |
| holstein | drupin: not really... but i wouldnt expect ubuntustudio to fit in 4gb's | 04:49 |
| holstein | i made it fit back in ubuntustudio 9.10, but i stripped a lot out | 04:49 |
| drupin | installer told me it needs min 3.7 GB.. | 04:49 |
| drupin | but then it installed in the 4 GB | 04:50 |
| holstein | drupin: i would just install the OS to the stick | 04:50 |
| drupin | just one partition | 04:50 |
| drupin | no two partition | 04:50 |
| holstein | i wouldnt have casper.. or persistence..i would just take a USB stick, plug it inthe sie of the box and install to it | 04:51 |
| holstein | drupin: i would go with the defaults.. probably just one big one and a swap and all that | 04:51 |
| drupin | swap was freeing my OS before | 04:51 |
| holstein | drupin: if i didnt want the swap, id wipe it out, but id get a stick booting... and it would be booting 15 minutes from now | 04:51 |
| drupin | so i had removed that | 04:51 |
| drupin | ok | 04:52 |
| drupin | let me try once | 04:52 |
| holstein | and i'd go from there, with a booting persitent USB stick | 04:52 |
| holstein | i rarely use swap anyways | 04:52 |
| drupin | ok brb i did boot repair | 05:06 |
| drupin | let me see if it did magic | 05:06 |
| drupin | it thoug told me the space on the drive is less | 05:06 |

| kroniksenvy | How come ubuntustdio does not support multiple monitors | 13:34 |
| holstein | kroniksenvy: ubuntustudio is ubuntu | 13:35 |
| holstein | ubuntu and ubuntustudio both support mulitiple monitors | 13:35 |
| kroniksenvy | I should correct my self it does not allow me to extend my desktop it just gives me dual desktop on both monitors | 13:35 |
| holstein | ubuntustudio is quite a bit like xubuntu, so i would search for how to configure dual monitors in XFCE or xubuntu | 13:35 |
| smartboyhw | kroniksenvy, I think it is best to ask in #xubuntu since that this is also a Xubuntu thing;) | 13:36 |
| smartboyhw | Hi holstein! | 13:36 |
| holstein | i use arandr, which AFAIK, is the main too now in xubuntu | 13:36 |
| holstein | kroniksenvy: try arandr and if that doesnt give what you are looking for, let us know | 13:36 |
| len-dt | kroniksenvy, you need to use both arandr and the the display setting to make it work from boot to boot | 13:38 |
| holstein | len-dt: do we or xubuntu have a doc on that?.. i didnt set it up persistently yet | 13:38 |
| len-dt | arandr (or xrandr) to set it up and the display settings to save it | 13:38 |
| kroniksenvy | ye i got it working now | 13:39 |
| kroniksenvy | arandr | 13:39 |
| kroniksenvy | did it | 13:39 |
| smartboyhw | :) | 13:39 |
| kroniksenvy | now i just need to remove this bottom popup bar | 13:39 |
| len-dt | Ya, but when you reboot it will disapear and you will need to reset it. | 13:39 |
| kroniksenvy | oke | 13:39 |
| holstein | kroniksenvy: panel.. you can remove that panel | 13:40 |
| len-dt | if you go into the display settings and make any change... mirror the monitor where the settings window isn;t and then back again it will save the setting for next login | 13:40 |
| kroniksenvy | bare with me i just started with linux yesterday i bought a new notebook and ubuntu studio seemed right for my work : ) | 13:40 |
| smartboyhw | Oh why you need Ubuntu Studio then kroniksenvy if you just started with Linux? | 13:41 |
| len-dt | kroniksenvy, the thing to remember is that the displays need to be plugged in and powered before booting or X will reconfigure to single and and resave that. | 13:42 |
| kroniksenvy | smartboyhw: i was looking around distribuions basically i wrote top distros and # was ubuntu and underneed were distrost that came from ubuntu | 13:42 |
| kroniksenvy | i picked studio because it seemed setup for graphic design | 13:42 |
| kroniksenvy | len-dt: thanks will note that | 13:42 |
| smartboyhw | kroniksenvy, oh you want graphic design:) That's good:) | 13:43 |
| len-dt | kroniksenvy, we would be happy to hear your comments on how Studio works for you and how we could improve it. | 13:45 |
| len-dt | ... maybe after you have tried it a while... | 13:46 |
| kroniksenvy | will do | 13:46 |
| smartboyhw | :) | 13:46 |
| kroniksenvy | So far i'm pretty happy with speed & response, i like the clean UI and configuration was pretty strait forward and i'm even happer now that all 3 screens are runing : ) | 13:48 |
| smartboyhw | Good:) | 13:48 |
| kroniksenvy | but ill give feedback as i use it during few projects | 13:48 |
| smartboyhw | kroniksenvy, please do:) | 13:49 |
| kroniksenvy | does anyone here work with ruby on rails ? | 14:58 |
| === kroniksenvy is now known as wiickeed | ||
| smartboyhw | wiickeed, who? | 15:00 |
| wiickeed | huh ? | 15:00 |
| smartboyhw | Ruby on rails. what IS that? | 15:02 |
| ailo | wiickeed: I use it for a redmine install | 15:24 |
| ailo | But, seems like more of a web server related Q | 15:24 |
| drupin | how can i remove a non working icon from the left top start menu in settings | 21:13 |
| drupin | holstein: i did it and finally fresh in the thumb drive | 21:13 |
| len-dt | drupin, which one isn't working? | 21:15 |
| drupin | i tried to install the java 7 via some non working PPA | 21:16 |
| drupin | later found its not supported | 21:16 |
| drupin | all files i removed | 21:16 |
| drupin | only this two icons are there | 21:16 |
| drupin | in settings | 21:17 |
| drupin | len-dt: | 21:26 |
| holstein | drupin: i would purge whatever you installed from that ppa, and purge the ppa | 23:29 |
| holstein | !java | 23:29 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 23:29 |
| holstein | i would refer to that | 23:29 |
| drupin | ya i got from there | 23:30 |
| holstein | AFAIK, alacarte will work for editing the menu in XFCE | 23:30 |
| drupin | but the putge is done | 23:30 |
| drupin | purge* | 23:30 |
| drupin | but still the two java icons there | 23:30 |
| holstein | drupin: just get rid of one | 23:31 |
| drupin | where i find them but? | 23:31 |
| holstein | drupin: AFAIK, alacart works to edit the menu | 23:31 |
| drupin | install alacart? | 23:32 |
| holstein | drupin: i would research what it is.. see if you think it will work for you, and choose if you 'd like to install it | 23:32 |
| holstein | http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu | 23:32 |
| drupin | ok holstein | 23:32 |
| len-dt | drupin, sorry I vanished... | 23:51 |
| drupin | its fine len-dt .. | 23:52 |
| len-dt | There is probably a *.desktop file floating around. | 23:52 |
| drupin | i also took break and was installing something else | 23:52 |
| drupin | yes | 23:52 |
| len-dt | They normally reside in /usr/share/applications/ | 23:52 |
| len-dt | If you use thunar or nautilus to look for it, you should be able to see which one it is by the icon. | 23:53 |
| len-dt | The name with it will not be the file name. I don't know if you can delete it or not though... I guess if you run nautilus with pkexec or gksudo | 23:56 |
| len-dt | alacarte will work fine too. But will only fix the one user, any new user would still have the problem menu item. | 23:59 |
