[14:30] <Nate_Rev> Hi everyone, can I get any help installing Lubuntu through Wubi here>
[14:31] <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
[14:32] <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..
[14:34] <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
[14:35] <Nate_Rev> alright, one sec.
[14:36] <Nate_Rev> gonna go offline for a sec to see if it works
[14:39] <Nate_Rev_> it says "cant download metalink therefore no iso download
[14:40] <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?
[14:41] <smartboyhw> Nate_Rev, wait a minute
[14:41] <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
[14:42] <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
[14:43] <Nate_Rev> alright. one sec
[14:46] <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..
[14:47] <smartboyhw> Nate_Rev, actually look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/125015/can-i-install-12-04-inside-windows may help
[14:49] <smartboyhw> But then --force-wubi should be correct
[14:50] <Nate_Rev> yeah tried again and the teminal says the device is not ready
[14:50] <smartboyhw> Nate_Rev, oh?
[14:52] <holstein> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_do_I_install_Wubi_on_a_machine_with_no_Internet_connection.3F
[14:53] <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*
[14:54] <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?
[14:55] <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
[14:56] <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
[14:57] <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?

[14:58] <yeehi> thanks, holstein: wine wine1.3 wine1.3-gecko wine1.4 winetricks using update manager
[14:59] <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
[15:00] <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?
[15:03] <holstein> yeehi: i use the command "sudo add-apt-repository".. which (usually) gets the ppa and the "key" (certificate)
[15:04] <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

[15:05] <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
[15:07] <yeehi> thanks holstein - i have to go - will work on it again later...
[15:08] <Nate_Rev> nevermind. didn't work
[15:08] <Nate_Rev> the installtion failed this time around
[15:10] <Nate_Rev> ?
[15:11] <holstein> Nate_Rev: share any relevant details... do you have *any* other iso to test wth?
