[01:57] <studio-user277> hi
[03:26] <studio12> On a scale of 1 to 10: What's your favorite color of the alphabet?   Can you smell the musical colors? They taste like burning :P
[03:29]  * studio12 12.04.1 Installer: "Executing 'grub-install /dev/sda' failed. This is a fatal error."
[03:32] <ailo> studio12: multiple hard drives?
[03:33] <studio12> installing from live USB w/ 4GB persistence to 16GB USB
[03:34] <studio12> no hard drive
[03:35] <ailo> studio12: What are you installing to?
[03:35] <studio12> 16GB USB drive formatted as ext2 used as "/" (no swap)
[03:37] <ailo> studio12: So, you have two usb sticks. One from which you install, and one to which you install?
[03:37] <studio12> correct
[03:37] <ailo> I'm guessing the one you installed to was not /dev/sda
[03:37] <ailo> Don't remember if it was possible to decide where to install GRUB now
[03:38] <ailo> studio12: You can add GRUB afterwards
[03:38] <studio12> ubiquity (correct?) reported that there was only /dev/sda to install to
[03:38] <studio12> the lights blinked during file copy showing data was going the right way
[03:39] <studio12> (the USB drives have activity LEDS)
[03:39] <ailo> studio12: If everything else went fine, just follow this and you get GRUB installed  http://www.av8n.com/computer/htm/grub-reinstall.htm
[03:40] <studio12> well the installation is not complete. i've done this a few times to remeber there is a few more steps it will do after installing grub
[03:40] <ailo> Usually it's the last steo
[03:40] <ailo> step*
[03:40] <ailo> Before reboot
[03:40] <studio12> so that would be just updates then
[03:41] <studio12> so i should open up console and install grub manulally right now?
[03:42] <studio12> manually*
[03:42] <ailo> studio12: Ah, yeah. You're still in the live environment
[03:42] <ailo> Well, yea. But, just installing it will probably not work. Following the steps in the link will
[03:43] <studio12> k
[03:44] <ailo> A major seems red to me. Another guy says green
[04:16] <studio12> this just isnt working
[04:17] <holstein> this?
[04:20] <studio12> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/radicula /dev/sda "/usr/sbin/grub-setup: warn: Your embedding area is unusually small.  core.img won't fit in it.."
[04:20] <holstein> studio12: what are you doing?
[04:20] <studio12> installing to a 16gb flashdrive
[04:20] <studio12> ubiquity failed to install grub
[04:21] <holstein> studio12: id didnt for me
[04:21] <holstein> it*
[04:21] <holstein> studio12: what iso did you use?
[04:21] <studio12> i know i usually dont have any issues
[04:21] <studio12> 12.04.1 AMD64
[04:27] <studio12> so grub wont install.. now what? restart, format and start all over?
[04:27] <holstein> studio12: the question is.. why wont grub install?
[04:27] <holstein> studio12: what would i do?
[04:27] <holstein> i would test the hard drive... make sure that you can partition it
[04:28] <holstein> studio12: i would consider trying something like plop.. or gag.. some 3rd party bootloader that doesnt need installed.. just to see whats going on
[04:28] <studio12> im in the live enviornment right now. setup just failed
[04:29] <holstein> studio12: setup?
[04:29] <holstein> !md5
[04:29] <ubottu> 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
[04:30] <holstein> you could verify the installer
[04:30] <studio12> i dont have windows
[04:30] <studio12> i have this live USB
[04:30] <holstein> studio12: i didnt imply you have windwos
[04:30] <studio12> the link did
[04:30] <holstein> the md5 link gives examples for checking in windwos as well as linux
[04:31] <holstein> studio12: assuming one has downloaded the iso's and wants to confirm in windows
[04:31] <holstein> studio12: you can just check in the other one.. or in the menu of the live CD at boot up
[04:31] <studio12> that sounds like the best coarse of action
[04:31] <holstein> you can tap shift and see "check disc" or something like that
[04:31] <studio12> ill try that now
[04:32] <holstein> studio12: i usually just start testing from the beginning.. the installer... the hard driver.. the ram
[04:32] <holstein> there is a memtest on the live CE
[04:32] <holstein> CD*
[04:36] <ailo> Sorry I missed that
[04:36] <ailo> He wasn't following instructions well
[04:36] <ailo> As /dev/sda was not his install HD
[04:37] <ailo> holstein: If you had read the backscroll, his GRUB install failed, cause /dev/sda was the install medium
[04:38] <holstein> ailo: i didnt go back very far
[04:39] <holstein> i should have, but i was chating elsewhere :/
[04:41] <studio12> disk check completed without errors
[04:42] <studio12> memtest passed
[04:42] <ailo> studio12: Hey, seems like you might have missed something during the GRUB install
[04:42] <studio12> what happened?
[04:42] <ailo> studio12: You need to make sure you mount the right partition, and that you install to the right device
[04:43] <ailo> /dev/sda was your installation medium, from what I gathered
[04:43] <ailo> So, not where you should  install GRUB
[04:43] <studio12> well i already deleted the partition with gparted im starting over. something went horribly wrong i've never had that happen b4 when the disk and drive were good
[04:43] <ailo> studio12: You would have been fine just installing GRUB
[04:44] <studio12> last time sda was the 2nd blank USB disk. this time it is correctly showing up as sdb in gparted
[04:44] <ailo> Well, then the install will work. Just a bit of wasted time on both our accounts
[04:45] <studio12> i always partition with gparted first b4 beginning the installation
[06:17] <studio12> failed to boot. cant find /dev/sdb     installing again, this time the destination drive is reported as /dev/sdb again
[06:17] <studio12> reported as /dev/sda*
[06:18] <ailo-w> studio12: Why not just install GRUB manually?
[06:18] <ailo-w> You'll save a bit of time
[06:19] <studio12> i will if it fails again. i have a good fealing about this boot
[06:19] <ailo-w> I guess you're not a Star Wars person
[06:21] <studio12> in the meantime i filed a bug report on the failed install
[07:12] <Studio12> everything is good now
[07:30] <ailo-w> Studio12: Glad to hear it

[15:45] <Chamunks> Hey im brand spankin new to ustudio and im just trying to plug my mic into skype
[15:45] <Chamunks> skype just gave up on the echo test.
[16:06] <sebastien_studio> Bonjour, depuis le passage en 12.10 (64bits) je trouve que par moment j'ai de gros ralentissements... et vous ?
[17:21] <leo_> hi
[17:35] <gaetano> someone knows what kind of error is it? : http://paste.ubuntu.com/1307692/
[18:09] <UberMusik1> greetings .. anyone familiar with the m-audio 24/96?  i'm trying to monitor the S/PDIF i'm feeding from an external device, and I'm not familiar with the mixer settings in UbuntuStudio to get this working (recently migrated from WinBlows which had a dedicated mixer software for the card ) … could someone please point me in the right direction  :-)
[18:23] <Chamunks> I've followed a youtube video to set up Jackd with pulseaudio-modules-jack and thats running beautifully but I cant seem to pipe my mic anywhere.
[18:23] <UberMusik1> never mind .. i figured it out .. solution for the curious: i opened alsamixer in a terminal and made sure the S/PDIF Multi levels were up in the capture settings .. then i used Patchage, and routed channel 12 (capture) to my Ardour track input .. and my signal made it through .. fantastic
