[00:24] "(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] Yessir, I can see the HDD. [01:07] Well, I gotta go to a family thing. [01:07] I hope you guys are around later. [01:07] All the best, folks. [01:07] Sisyphus out! === lukjad_ is now known as lukjad007 [03:18] 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] Sisyphus1: the live CD has no extra or updated drivers to access or see the hard drive via the esata device === yofel_ is now known as yofel [07:02] "(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] Ok, when I do that, the ONLY message that's displayed is: "no operating system found.: [07:03] ...and it just sits there doing nothing.

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