vbgunzdoes anyone here know how I can burn some files onto a usb live iso?08:22
vbgunzI want to put some files onto the disk I can have access to do during a session08:22
tsimpsonvbgunz: you can partition the USB device and put files in a separate partition, or you could remaster the ISO and add files to it (which is more complex)08:31
vbgunztsimpson: hey thanks, I swear I think the partition idea is smoother. This is for a Redo Backup. Pretty bad ass project, so badass I'm honestly thinking about donating something to them. Anyhow, I just want one stick with Redo Backup and the actual backup image on the stick. Not as easy but think I am going to go for the partition trick08:32

hyper_chhi there, is htere no alternative version of rary for download?09:53
tsimpsonhyper_ch: no, precise was the last release to supply an alternate CD10:00
hyper_chtsimpson: how would I then encrypt during install?10:00
tsimpsonhyper_ch: that's handled by the GUI installer now10:00
hyper_chit seems I need to setup my computer anew as I accidentally wiped my partition scheme10:00
hyper_chit can do it now?10:01
tsimpsonyes, I believe that's why the alternate image was dropped10:01
tsimpsonthat and LVM begin supported (I think)10:01
hyper_ch:)10:02
hyper_chhave you got any idea how to recover partition layout?10:02
hyper_chsystem's still up and running10:02
hyper_chbut won't survive reboot10:02
tsimpsonI don't, but I heard gpart helps with that10:05
tsimpsonI'm always _really_ sure when I write the partition table ;)10:05
* tsimpson finds something wooden to knock on10:05
Torchhyper_ch: testdisk or gpart (NOT to be confused with gparted) will restore partition tables.10:08
hyper_chtsimpson: can the live cd also setup an encrypted system?10:08
hyper_chTorch: gpart didn't find anything :(10:08
hyper_chhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/5557641/10:09
tsimpsonhyper_ch: yes, though I haven't done a live install in a while (just upgrades) so I haven't tried it personally10:09
FlameReaperTorch: can testdisk or gpart restore partition tables on a disk image?10:09
TorchFlameReaper: i'd assume yes, but i have no idea honestly10:10
FlameReaperbecause I have a partition backed up10:10
FlameReaperand keeping it in case I can recover the partition table10:11
FlameReaperapparently files seem to be intact but the partition table is damaged10:11
TorchFlameReaper: partition backed up? you mean you have an image of the file system? then you wouldn't need the original partition table to restore it, right?10:11
FlameReaperi don't know about that10:12
FlameReaperit's just that I can't access it10:12
FlameReaperdiagnostics seem to indicate files are fine10:12
FlameReaperbut photorec doesn't seem reliable enough for me10:13
hyper_chtsimpson: the encryption selection gives an error10:24
tsimpsonhyper_ch: hmm, I haven't use it so I don't think I know how to help with it10:33
hyper_chwell, setting up manually the encrypted system doesn't work10:33
hyper_chtsimpson: do you know if rary has LO 4?10:48
tsimpsonhyper_ch: no idea, sorry10:49
hyper_chtsimpson: it has :) and why do I keep calling it rary instead of raring10:50
tsimpsonI think it sounds better that raring :)10:51

tomtehi there!12:28
tomteI tried installing kubuntu 11.10 on my old laptop but the installer crashes at the hardware configuration12:29
tomteunfortunatly there is no error message in the nice popup window, so I don't know what's going on12:30
MsCourtneytomte: Can you try with a newer version like 12.10?12:30
tomteis there any way to see the error message another way?12:30
tomteMsCourtney: no, since those kernels don't support non-pae cpus12:31
MsCourtneytomte: What about lubuntu then install Kubuntu-desktop or the ubuntu mini iso?12:32
tomtethe latest version have the same non-pae problem, I tried the mini iso as well12:33
tomteit would help a great deal if I could see what is going on, can I follow the process on a console?12:35
yofeltomte: what happened to trying 12.04?12:36
tomteyofel: the 12.04 kernel doesn't support my cpu since it doesn't have pae support12:37
yofel11.10 will reach end  of life in about 2 months, so maybe not the best choice12:37
tomteyofel: I'm not scared about end of life, as long as I can install I can take care of updates later on12:38
yofeltomte: there is a non-pae version of the precise kernel12:43
yofeldid the 12.04 image not boot at all?12:43
tomteyofel: no it didn't12:43
tomteand I couldn't find an option to use another kernel12:44
yofelwhich image was that? 12.04.2?12:45
yofeltomte: then again, installing 11.10 and upgrading that would indeed be another option12:46
yofel12.04 shouldn't be failing though...12:47
tomteit does and it was the one from the kubuntu page, so 12.04.212:47
ovidiu-florinhello world :D13:01
ovidiu-florinI'm trying a kubuntu 12.10 installation from a USB drive made with unetbootin, but the installer crashes all the time13:02
yofelovidiu-florin: try starting it from a live session. The logs would be in /var/log/installer/13:31

_JuJuBeeI can't get my dhcp server (isc-dhcp-server) to start. syslog shows.. http://pastebin.com/HgpuSfmp I have set eth1 in /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server as the listen interface and have a subnet in my dhcpd.conf file similar to a different server config that IS working.14:07
ikonia_JuJuBee: looks like you are trying to serve a network that is outside the range of your eth1 interface address14:12
_JuJuBeeikonia:  my eth1 is 192.168.6.1/24 and dhcpd.conf subnet is http://pastebin.com/cpYkBReA14:18
BluesKajHey all14:18
ikonia_JuJuBee: how did you tell it to listen on eth1 ?14:20
_JuJuBeeikonia: /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server has a line INTERFACES=eth114:20
ikonia_JuJuBee: very odd,14:23
ikonia_JuJuBee: what is the default parameter for the INTERFACES= option14:23
_JuJuBeeikonia: ""14:24
_JuJuBeeempty14:24
ikonia_JuJuBee: reset it to that for a test, as that is "all  interfaces"14:24
ikonia_JuJuBee: then restart dhcp14:24
_JuJuBeeI tried14:24
ikonia_JuJuBee: same error ?14:24
ikonia_JuJuBee: where is your dhcpd config located ?14:25
_JuJuBeeikonia: /etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf14:25
ikonia_JuJuBee: is that the right place ?14:26
_JuJuBeeIt is where it is located on my other server14:27
_JuJuBeeikonia: in /etc/default/isc-dhcp-server I have DHCPD_CONF=/etc/dhcp3/dhcpd.conf14:29
ikoniaso that should be sane14:29

the_ravendoesnt seem to work to run 2 display managers at the same time...15:01
the_ravenso does it work to use the old display manager on KDE 4.10 to make the loginscreen work again?15:03
BluesKajthe_raven, lightdm is the default DM now , try removing KDM to see if that helps . Also ,reinstalling lightdm might also work .15:05
the_ravenbut i use a custom theme on kdm from kde-look.org does it work with lightdm?15:06
the_ravenbut yeah i can try to remove kdm...15:07
BluesKajyou have to reset your theme for lightdm  , the_raven15:08
the_ravenok. but while running apt-get purge kdm the terminal said: Following packages will be removed: kdm* kubuntu-desktop* ?15:12
the_ravenit seems to drag kubuntu-desktop with it when remove kdm...15:16

hyper_chhi there, in dolphin you have the places panel - where are the files stored for it? I jsut re-setup my computer and copied the .kde folder back but the places in dolphin weren't restored16:05
BluesKaj hyper_ch the places are links to drives and folders etc , just right click on the folder and choose "add to places"16:54
hyper_chBluesKaj: no, where is the config located16:55
BluesKajdunno , never bothered to look for it16:55
