| Sisyphus1 | Yessir, I can see the HDD. | 00:24 |
| Sisyphus1 | Well, I gotta go to a family thing. | 01:07 |

| holstein | Sisyphus1: if you can see the hard drive, just install to it, and reboot, and share error messages, and we'll go from there | 03:18 |
| holstein | Sisyphus1: the live CD has no extra or updated drivers to access or see the hard drive via the esata device | 03:19 |

| Sisyphus1 | Ok, when I do that, the ONLY message that's displayed is: "no operating system found.: | 07:03 |

| blackroseblade | Hello. Can I have some help with turning a liveusb into persistent? | 22:03 |
| blackroseblade | I tried following this: http://shallowsky.com/blog/linux/install/ubuntu-persistent-live-cd.html | 22:05 |
| blackroseblade | But unfortunately it can't find casper-rw, and since its a liveusb, I'm not sure where to point it to. | 22:05 |
| duanedesign | hello blackroseblade | 22:32 |
| blackroseblade | hi there o/ | 22:40 |
| smcguinness | I'm getting a input timing error (Dell G2410) after installing 12.04 LTS | 22:41 |
| smcguinness | I've found a couple posts regarding the issue (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1973856), but I'm unable to access the file system because I can't see anything | 22:41 |
| smcguinness | I'm able to load Live CD, but I can't seem to access the /etc/default/grub from the filesystem that was installed | 22:42 |
| smcguinness | Has anyone run into this before? | 22:42 |
| duanedesign | so the syatem wil not fully boot? | 22:42 |
| smcguinness | duanedesign: I don't get an error and I can get it to show that it wants to boot into Grub | 22:43 |
| smcguinness | but once it tries, I get the timing error form my monitor | 22:43 |
| duanedesign | I ahve heard setting the boot option nomodeset might help | 22:43 |
| smcguinness | how can i set that mode? in Live CD? | 22:44 |
| duanedesign | I think in grub it is crtl + x to edit the boot options | 22:45 |
| duanedesign | then at the end of the kernel you are using try no modset | 22:45 |
| smcguinness | i can't get into Grub | 22:46 |
| duanedesign | hm, ok | 22:46 |
| smcguinness | as soon as I see "loading Grub" screen flashes, then get monitor error | 22:46 |
| duanedesign | smcguinness: ok let em check...You have a Live CD? | 22:48 |
| smcguinness | i have the installer on a flash drive | 22:48 |
| smcguinness | I'm trying to install Server 12.04 LTS | 22:49 |
| duanedesign | gksudo nano /etc/default/grub | 22:54 |
| duanedesign | that is the file you should try and edit | 22:54 |
| duanedesign | if you can doot from the usb abd get access to that file | 22:55 |
| duanedesign | A similar person with a dell found commenting out the line "GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480" fixed it for him | 22:56 |
| duanedesign | your second shot maybe to edit this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nomodeset" | 22:57 |
| duanedesign | adding nomodeset as you see above | 22:57 |
| smcguinness | duanedesign: when i get into the command line (busybox) from the installer i can't see the fild /etc/default/grub | 22:58 |
| smcguinness | i'm assuming it is because it is looking at the filesystem of the usb drive | 22:58 |
| smcguinness | is there a way to mount the partitioned drive and look at that filesystem? | 22:59 |
| duanedesign | smcguinness: if you run the command: sudo fdisk -l | 23:00 |
| duanedesign | that will show available | 23:00 |
| smcguinness | yep...sdc is where my drive | 23:01 |
| duanedesign | you should be able to tell which is your main harddrive. Probablly sda1, or something | 23:01 |
| duanedesign | ok | 23:01 |
| duanedesign | mkdir mnt | 23:01 |
| blackroseblade | erm duanedesign, just one question please. can I turn my liveusb into persistent? | 23:01 |
| duanedesign | sudo mount /dev/sdc mnt | 23:01 |
| duanedesign | blackroseblade: i have never done it, i have not tried. But I know people who have. So the short answer is yes | 23:02 |
| duanedesign | reminder, before you shutdown unmoint the drive: sudo umount mnt | 23:04 |
