[02:29] <growingpains08> it works
[02:29] <growingpains08> and i dont  know why.  what is the "\" for
[07:23] <Sisyphus1> Is anyone there?
[07:23] <Sisyphus1> I'
[07:23] <Sisyphus1> Sorry, one sec.
[07:23] <Sisyphus1> I've got a problem that I think is probably rather advanced.
[07:26] <JoseeAntonioR> Sisyphus1: may I help?
[07:27] <Sisyphus1> Indeed I HOPE so, lol.
[07:27] <Sisyphus1> Here's the breakdown, in simplest terms.
[07:27] <Sisyphus1> Supermicro X7DAL-E+ motherboard. Server board. Two 64-bit Xeon 3.0 Ghz processors.
[07:28] <Sisyphus1> I've gotten 64-bit Ubuntu installed... but I can only boot into it when using the SuperGRUB2 Recovery disk.
[07:28] <Sisyphus1> Got Windows 7 to work on it... but I had to "force" it on there, in an odd way.
[07:29] <Sisyphus1> Like, I had to install the 5000x chipset drivers, then re-boot, then I could install it.
[07:29] <Sisyphus1> ...the Supermicro Website only has the drivers for Linux RedHat, and I haven't figured out how to install them and get them to work in Ubuntu.
[07:30] <Sisyphus1> There are other issues, but I figure we might start with that one, lol.
[07:30] <Sisyphus1> ...it's a pretty important one, I think. :P
[07:33] <Sisyphus1> ...so anyway I yanked out the HDD with Win 7 on it and I've been trying to get Ubuntu to work on it, on its own.
[07:34] <Sisyphus1> ...because I'm like that.
[07:34] <Sisyphus1> ...and I want Ubuntu to work on it SOOOOO bad.
[07:34] <Sisyphus1> ...seems like an advanced issue, really.
[07:34] <Sisyphus1> Any thoughts, guys'n'gals?
[08:53] <jalcine> Sisyphus1: hey
[08:54] <jalcine> so what drive is set to boot at start?
[08:57] <Sisyphus1> I suppose there isn't one.
[08:58] <Sisyphus1> I've been told the GRUB2 is the problem, and that it's not a driver problem.
[08:58] <jalcine> It potentially might be.
[08:58] <Sisyphus1> Not sure I believe that though, but if it's true, will this solve my probleM?
[08:58] <Sisyphus1> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43C2qaYY8zE
[08:59] <jalcine> Have you tried installing an older version of grub onto the partition?
[08:59] <jalcine> you might have to install an older version of Ubuntu to do so
[08:59] <Sisyphus1> No, haven't tried that yet.
[09:00] <jalcine> please do :)
[09:02] <Sisyphus1> Well, in either case, looks like the best route is to use an alternative CD to do it.
[09:02] <jalcine> That's the best way to go about it.
[09:03] <Unit193> There are no alternates, except for the mini.
[09:03] <Unit193> !mini
[09:05] <Sisyphus1> http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/
[09:06] <Unit193> Quantal and up don't, that is.  (I always disregard LTS releases)
[09:06] <Sisyphus1> ...so I can just use my Ubuntu-64 disk and boot from that, and do the same thing?
[14:52] <SpudULike> On 12.10.  What is the best GUI, way for me to add drive partitions so that they are mounted at boot time?
[16:11] <duanedesign> SpudULike: helo
[16:14] <duanedesign> I am not famiiliar with a GUI way to do this. You willl need to add the drive to your fsta file
[16:14] <duanedesign> fstab*
[16:16] <duanedesign> SpudULike: actually i just hear about pysdm
[16:16] <duanedesign> sudo apt-get install pysdm
[16:17] <duanedesign> before drocedding back up old file - sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.old
[16:18] <duanedesign> SpudULike: for more see this pae http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/how-to-mount-partitions-automatically.html
[16:18] <duanedesign> obviously ignore the Fedora parts :)
[16:18] <duanedesign> hope that helps
[16:19] <Phryq> hey; I have a lumia 920 windows phone, and when I plug it into my ubuntu 12.10 laptop it's not being recognized by my computer
[16:31] <duanedesign> Phryq: what version android OS?
[16:34] <duanedesign> sorry probably not running android..habit
[16:34] <duanedesign> many users have reported being able to connect no problem...?
[16:34] <duanedesign> i am stumped
[16:34] <Phryq> not Android; Windows 8
[17:14] <SpudULike> hi duanedesign : oddly, I don't think there is a version of pysdm for 12.10.
[17:15] <duanedesign> :9
[17:15] <duanedesign> :(
