| Nate_Rev | Hi everyone, can I get any help installing Lubuntu through Wubi here> | 14:30 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | Nate_Rev: whats the issue? | 14:31 |
| holstein | put the iso of your choice in the same directory as the wubi.exe in windows | 14:31 |
| holstein | OR, install what is working and convert to lubuntu by installing lubuntu-desktop ...or adding lxde | 14:32 |
| Nate_Rev | See, I run Wubi with the ISO in the same folder but it keeps trying to download the ISO off the internet, which I can't do.. | 14:32 |
| holstein | that has always worked for me.. maybe look at what the file that is trying to be downloaded is labeled and just change the label of your lubuntu iso | 14:34 |
| Nate_Rev | alright, one sec. | 14:35 |
| Nate_Rev | gonna go offline for a sec to see if it works | 14:36 |
| Nate_Rev_ | it says "cant download metalink therefore no iso download | 14:39 |
| holstein | "it" being? the wubi.exe? | 14:40 |
| holstein | Nate_Rev: that "it" says that when? after what circumstance? | 14:40 |
| holstein | where did you get the lubuntu.iso? | 14:40 |
| smartboyhw | Nate_Rev, wait a minute | 14:41 |
| === Nate_Rev_ is now known as Nate_Rev | ||
| Nate_Rev | it being Wubi, yes, and it runs through, creates a directory and attempts to download the iso, which it can't do. and fail.s | 14:41 |
| Nate_Rev | I got the iso from the lubuntu website | 14:41 |
| holstein | might be worth the time checking the sum... | 14:42 |
| holstein | !md5 | 14:42 |
| ubot2 | 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 | 14:42 |
| smartboyhw | Nate_Rev, try to mount the ISO, then cd to it in terminal and type "wubi.exe --force-wubi" and try it | 14:42 |
| Nate_Rev | alright. one sec | 14:43 |
| Nate_Rev | the terminal says it isn't a recognized command. | 14:46 |
| Nate_Rev | I must have typed something inccorectly. | 14:46 |
| smartboyhw | Nate_Rev, hmm I used it before, so let me check again.. | 14:46 |
| smartboyhw | Nate_Rev, actually look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/125015/can-i-install-12-04-inside-windows may help | 14:47 |
| smartboyhw | But then --force-wubi should be correct | 14:49 |
| Nate_Rev | yeah tried again and the teminal says the device is not ready | 14:50 |
| smartboyhw | Nate_Rev, oh? | 14:50 |
| holstein | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_do_I_install_Wubi_on_a_machine_with_no_Internet_connection.3F | 14:52 |
| Nate_Rev | So I'll have to install oneric and update from there? | 14:53 |
| holstein | Nate_Rev: i didnt mean to implay that | 14:53 |
| holstein | imply* | 14:53 |
| holstein | Nate_Rev: i would just replace the version you are trying to use... but check the facts there | 14:54 |
| holstein | Nate_Rev: i have not tried wubi with 12.10 | 14:54 |
| holstein | Nate_Rev: have you tried with 12.04? do you have *any* other iso to test with? | 14:54 |
| holstein | Nate_Rev: you should be able to install *any*buntu and switch to lubuntu from there | 14:55 |
| Nate_Rev | yeah, i tried with 12.10 earlier, im using a 12.04 now | 14:55 |
| holstein | what would i do? just a normal install or install in virtualbox | 14:55 |
| bodhi_zazen | o/ | 14:56 |
| holstein | i used the above method for instaling 12.04 with the iso... i put it in place on my pops machine and it just worked | 14:56 |
| yeehi | Hello! I do a software update, but it fails - says I am trying to load software from untrusted sources (wine, wine tricks etc) how do I get those sources trusted? | 14:57 |
| holstein | yeehi: what sources? how is it failing? | 14:57 |
| holstein | !ppa | 14:57 |
| ubot2 | A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 14:57 |
| yeehi | thanks, holstein: wine wine1.3 wine1.3-gecko wine1.4 winetricks using update manager | 14:58 |
| holstein | yeehi: update manager is just that.. an update manager.. if you want to install software, i would use the software center or synaptic or the command line... | 14:59 |
| holstein | yeehi: if you have added a ppa and upgrading the packages breaks, then you'll need to ask the ppa maintainer | 14:59 |
| yeehi | ah, ok - i do remember adding a ppa, iirc, holstein - let me visit that ppa page... will there be a certificate there or something to download? | 15:00 |
| holstein | yeehi: i use the command "sudo add-apt-repository".. which (usually) gets the ppa and the "key" (certificate) | 15:03 |
| Nate_Rev | i figured out my problem | 15:04 |
| holstein | if you didnt addd it that way, then that could be the error... | 15:04 |
| holstein | yeehi: feel free and give us any output details | 15:04 |
| yeehi | oh, that is a useful command, holstein | 15:04 |
| holstein | !paste | yeehi | 15:04 |
| ubot2 | yeehi: 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. | 15:04 |
| yeehi | need a repository argument... | 15:05 |
| holstein | yeehi: usually if you run "sudo apt-get update" you'll get errors that are helpfulf for troubleshooting | 15:05 |
| yeehi | thanks holstein - i have to go - will work on it again later... | 15:07 |
| Nate_Rev | nevermind. didn't work | 15:08 |
| Nate_Rev | the installtion failed this time around | 15:08 |
| Nate_Rev | ? | 15:10 |
| holstein | Nate_Rev: share any relevant details... do you have *any* other iso to test wth? | 15:11 |
