[00:24] <Sisyphus1> "(2:43:24 PM) holstein: Sisyphus1: if you can see the hard drive from the live CD, then you dont have any issue with the kernel connecting to the hard drive"
[00:24] <Sisyphus1> Yessir, I can see the HDD.
[01:07] <Sisyphus1> Well, I gotta go to a family thing.
[01:07] <Sisyphus1> I hope you guys are around later.
[01:07] <Sisyphus1> All the best, folks.
[01:07] <Sisyphus1> Sisyphus out!
[03:18] <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
[03:19] <holstein> Sisyphus1: the live CD has no extra or updated drivers to access or see the hard drive via the esata device
[07:02] <Sisyphus1> "(8:18:47 PM) 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"
[07:03] <Sisyphus1> Ok, when I do that, the ONLY message that's displayed is: "no operating system found.:
[07:03] <Sisyphus1> ...and it just sits there doing nothing.
[07:03] <Sisyphus1> UNLESS I've installed Windows 7, WITH the 5000x chipset driver update, on the SAME HDD that Ubuntu is installed on.

[22:03] <blackroseblade> Hello. Can I have some help with turning a liveusb into persistent?
[22:05] <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.
[22:32] <duanedesign> hello blackroseblade
[22:40] <blackroseblade> hi there o/
[22:41] <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
[22:42] <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?
[22:43] <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
[22:44] <smcguinness> how can i set that mode? in Live CD?
[22:45] <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
[22:46] <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
[22:48] <duanedesign> smcguinness: ok let em check...You have a Live CD?
[22:48] <smcguinness> i have the installer on a flash drive
[22:49] <smcguinness> I'm trying to install Server 12.04 LTS
[22:54] <duanedesign> gksudo nano /etc/default/grub
[22:54] <duanedesign> that is the file you should try and edit
[22:55] <duanedesign> if you can doot from the usb abd get access to that file
[22:56] <duanedesign> A similar person with a dell found commenting out the line "GRUB_GFXMODE=640x480" fixed it for him
[22:57] <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
[22:58] <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
[22:59] <smcguinness> is there a way to mount the partitioned drive and look at that filesystem?
[23:00] <duanedesign> smcguinness: if you run the command:   sudo fdisk -l
[23:00] <duanedesign> that will show available
[23:01] <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
[23:02] <duanedesign> blackroseblade: i have never done it, i have not tried. But I know people who have. So the short answer is yes
[23:04] <duanedesign> reminder, before you shutdown unmoint the drive:  sudo umount mnt
