| TandyUK | tgm4883: ubuntu desktop 12.04.1 x64 refuses to boot lol | 01:46 |
|---|---|---|
| TandyUK | downloaded the iso twice, md5sum'd it, and verrified the disc the second time | 01:46 |
| TandyUK | at least the mythbuntu disc booted lol | 01:46 |
| TandyUK | so still no idea if the plain ubuntu supports it, but further googling sugests not without installing dkms and building the kernel modules ofr it | 01:47 |
| TandyUK | so i see my course of action being something like this... | 01:47 |
| TandyUK | boot myth livecd, install ddkms and get the kernel mod working so when i go to install i can actually see the drive | 01:48 |
| TandyUK | once installer completes, do not reboot, and chroot into the newly installed os | 01:48 |
| TandyUK | here again install the dkms and build the kernel mods | 01:48 |
| TandyUK | then rebuild the boot kernel and reinstall the boot loader and install this onto the boot sector of the raid array | 01:49 |
| TandyUK | and i should be ok to reboot for the first time | 01:49 |
| TandyUK | pretty much all the way up to sorting oput the boot loader ill be fine on, but as a heavy centos/suse user,, the boot stuff im gonna need to ubuntu specific help with :P | 01:54 |
| TandyUK | unless theres anythig else you guys think i should know before i start that is... :) | 01:54 |
| gregL | TandyUK, Did you ask your question in #ubuntu ? There are some pretty knowledgeable people.. Maybe someone there will have an answer for you... | 02:13 |
| gregL | There are some pretty knowledgeable people in there.. That should have read... | 02:15 |
| qwebirc70055 | I'm trying to install mythbuntu 12.04 from an ISO CD I've created. It hangs on the 'Preparing to install' screen. I've read that it's probably something to do with a non-clean 'swap'. I've tried re-partitioning with gparted, but still no luck. Can someone either help me out or at least point me to where I can get answers? | 02:36 |
| TandyUK | well theyre not much help tbh lol | 02:44 |
| TandyUK | but i have a mythbuntu live running with my disk showing up now :) | 02:44 |
| TandyUK | tested the media etc/ | 02:45 |
| TandyUK | ? | 02:45 |
| qwebirc70055 | yeah, the CD seems ok | 02:45 |
| qwebirc70055 | Do you know how to tell if my swap partition is clean? | 02:47 |
| TandyUK | no idea, but id hazard a guess deleteing the partition would do it | 02:47 |
| TandyUK | did you md5sum the iso you downloaded? | 02:47 |
| qwebirc70055 | no, I can try that...I had my CD burner perform verification and it was OK (I had to discard the first disk I made) | 02:48 |
| qwebirc70055 | I loaded gparted and deleted all the partitions and created everything from scratch, but still no luck | 02:50 |
| qwebirc70055 | I'll try the md5sum now | 02:50 |
| TandyUK | as im having to manually do the partitioning to prevent the installer wiping out my 6tb raid array!.. | 02:50 |
| TandyUK | what is the defalt filesystem type for the root partiton in mythbuntu? | 02:51 |
| qwebirc70055 | ah, I'm just using an old machine, so I don't care if I wipe out the entire drive | 02:51 |
| TandyUK | im having tpo reinstall a customers (not done since 10.something) just done upgrades since then | 02:51 |
| qwebirc70055 | I'm not sure. I formatted it as ext4 | 02:52 |
| TandyUK | his raid array started, so we replaced it before too many disks died | 02:52 |
| TandyUK | then the os drive died, so ive added a highpoint rr620 and 2 drives raid 1 for mythbunu to get installed on | 02:52 |
| TandyUK | bloody drivers arent in ubuntu yet so its being a pita | 02:52 |
| TandyUK | at least not b default | 02:53 |
| qwebirc70055 | yeah, that's frustrating | 02:53 |
| qwebirc43048 | I just verified the md5sum and it's ok | 02:56 |
| qwebirc43048 | (my browser just crashed so I had to reload the tab...I'm not sure if it just continues where I left off here) | 02:56 |

| Shinobi | Is it possible to get a silent front end to mythbuntu that can also play mame, and other emulators? (Wii emulator?) | 22:46 |
| rhpot1991 | Shinobi: could try something ion2 based, dunno it would have enough horsepower though | 22:50 |
