| jimmy_extreme_ | HI, anybody there? | 04:01 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | sure, jimmy_extreme_ .. just ask and one of the volunteers will help if they can | 04:02 |
| jimmy_extreme_ | cool! I'm trying to install RHEL onto some unallocated space on the box I'm currently on. But I don't have a CD or DVD | 04:03 |
| jimmy_extreme_ | Is there an easy way to do it without? | 04:03 |
| holstein | if you want to install, you'll need some installation media | 04:04 |
| holstein | what are you asking? you have a red hat installation CD and no CD rom drive? | 04:05 |
| jimmy_extreme_ | No no...I have the .iso file | 04:05 |
| jimmy_extreme_ | but no DVD or CD to burn it to | 04:05 |
| holstein | what do you have? usb sticks? | 04:06 |
| jimmy_extreme_ | Yes, I have a USB stick | 04:06 |
| jimmy_extreme_ | can I install from there? | 04:06 |
| holstein | i use unetbootin to create installation media from USB sticks | 04:06 |
| holstein | i install unetbootin.. i format a USB stick fat32 (even if it was previously formatted, i do it again) and i point unetbootin to the .iso i want to use and make sure the machine can either boot USB or i have my plop live CD that can boot USB on legacy hardware | 04:07 |
| jimmy_extreme_ | Thanks for all the tips. How can I determine if my machine can boot from USB? | 04:09 |
| holstein | jimmy_extreme_: i usually put a stick in it and try booting usb. you can google around, or look in the bios, or ask the vendor, or the place where you bought it, but i usually just try it | 04:10 |
| jimmy_extreme_ | holstein: thanks for all your help. I'll try that | 04:13 |
| skr_ | when ever i open any gnome app like gedit, gcal etc .. i get an error msg "GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend. Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications." due to which i am not able to save the settings for these application.PLZ HELP.... | 04:16 |
| jimmy_extreme_ | dont know why it posted that last part. Unintentional | 04:19 |
| skr_ | anyone... | 04:20 |
| holstein | skr_: do you own your /home directory? sounds like a permissions issue | 04:21 |
| skr_ | holstein: yes | 04:22 |
| holstein | skr_: yes? | 04:24 |
| holstein | skr_: yes you own it? or yes its a permissions issue? | 04:24 |
| skr_ | holstein: yes i own the /home directory .. | 04:25 |
| holstein | skr_: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glib2.0/+bug/757866 is what i get | 04:28 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 757866 in glib2.0 (Ubuntu) "gsettings uses the 'memory' GSettings backend / settings do not stick?!" [Medium,Invalid] | 04:28 |
| holstein | "I just manually installed "dconf-tools", "libdconf0" and "libdconf-dbus-1-0" and now it works." | 04:28 |
| skr_ | holstein: sudo apt-get install dconf-tools libdconf0 libdconf-dbus-1-0 dconf-gsettings-backend but still the same error.. | 04:34 |
| holstein | skr_: i would mark myself on that bug and keep up with it | 04:36 |
| holstein | skr_: i would try as a different user | 04:36 |
| skr_ | ok. | 04:37 |
| holstein | if it works as a different user, you can just look in your user config and fix or remove whatever is mis-configured | 04:38 |
| skr_ | holstein: i tried using guest user and got the same error... | 04:47 |
| holstein | skr_: so, its likely system wide then.. you got any ppa's in action? maybe for gnome? | 04:48 |
| skr_ | holstein: why ?? how to check whether if any thing is their??? | 04:49 |
| holstein | skr_: why what? why might a PPA be adding packages that could be breaking your system? | 04:52 |
| holstein | skr_: if you have a PPA added for gnome, i would purge it, and test | 04:53 |
| skr_ | holstein: how to check if it is added??? | 05:01 |
| holstein | skr_: i would check the software sources, but if you didnt add it, its not added | 05:01 |
| skr_ | holstein: i looked in /etc/apt/sources.list and their is not PPA for gnome. | 05:05 |
| holstein | skr_: sure.. but if you add *any* ppa, i would see if it is breaking functionality | 05:06 |
| skr_ | holstein: this thing has broken my entire system like cant change setting, usb dont pop up i have to manually mount it etc... i dont know what is causing the this??? | 05:08 |
| holstein | skr_: yup.. im not sure either.. so you have no added ppas or sources? | 05:09 |
| skr_ | holstein: i tried installing glib-2.34.5 from source. | 05:11 |
| holstein | skr_: and after that is when the issues happened? | 05:11 |
| skr_ | holstein: no. | 05:13 |
| holstein | skr_: are you up to date with upgrades? | 05:15 |
| skr_ | yes i am. | 05:38 |
| skr_ | holstein: is this a problem because i am using 64bit. | 05:40 |
| holstein | skr_: i wouldnt think so... | 05:44 |
