[12:53] BluesKaj: no, i am on LTS, i tried the ubuntu sdk , and that broke apt-get [12:53] you remove the ppa [12:53] i want to remove it, so I can do my updates [12:53] also remove qmlviewer , it seems to be the problem [12:54] BluesKaj: i tried, but apt-get will not let me remove anything before I fix the issue [12:55] simion314, sudo dpkg --remove --force-depends qmlviewer [12:56] also get rid of that ppa first [13:01] BluesKaj: thx, I removed the ubuntu-sdk and qt5 they conflicted with more qt4 stuff and I don't want to break my OS , I am the kind of person that prefers a stable system, running LTS with latest KDE, thx again [13:03] simion314, hope you have no more errors ..LTS isn't necessarily as stable when you add ppas to the sources.list / package manager [13:05] BluesKaj: I know, I try to not add PPAs, also ATI is no longer supporting my card, so no new proprietary drivers for me in new versions, I am thinking to get a new video card, what do you think ATI or nVidia? === Clank is now known as RedefinedClank [13:05] Hey guys, I am having some trouble with my headset and linux [13:07] For some reason, my headset says it is hooked in, but it is not playing any audio === kubuntu is now known as Guest50517 [13:08] Hey guys, just installed kubuntu.

[13:08] *center [13:09] RedefinedClank: yes, [13:09] Installing [13:09] I installed kubuntu's bootloader to the proper SSD, but I did not create a new partition table (I have Windows 7 on there as well and don't need it getting wiped), on restart, GRUB was nowhere to be found [13:10] oh cool, just changed playback [13:10] I'm currently running off of the liveCD [13:10] Guest50517: LVM?

[13:11] ovidiu: not to my knowledge. I just did a custom install, put / in the SSD, /home to my HDD, and told bootloader to load on top of SSD (SATA 0), I have Win7 on the SSD under sda1 par with kubuntu sda2 [13:12] RedefinedClank: sure, I do not know exactly how but you can select it there in playback [13:12] I cam from Ubuntu previously and there was a GRUB there [13:12] ok, I'll look around [13:12] same for microphone, if you skype and have issue, use same app [13:12] seemsg good, thanks [13:13] Is there an easy way to force a grub install to sda/ ? I already have the rest of the OS there, just no bootloader to find it. >.< [13:13] Guest50517: I remember there ware some instructions on how to recover GRUB using a live cd, but I did not done this in years , it involved chrooting in the ubuntu partition and setup the grub === Clank is now known as Guest2599 === Guest2599 is now known as RedefinedClank [13:15] Guest50517: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing [13:15] Guest50517, dual boot ?

[13:32] BluesKaj: is he the same one as Guest50517? [13:32] ovidiu-florin: yup [13:33] run sudo blkid and find the windows dev , then install grub to that sdX , that's where the mbr is , usually it's sda , but not always [13:34] nonDefaultUserna,^ [13:35] windows is sda1, but I thought sda, was the actual HDD to install bootloader to [13:35] tes sda , not sda1 [13:35] yes [13:35] windows first part looks like this: /dev/sda1 * 2048 206847 102400 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT [13:37] Win has sda1 and sda2. sda1 is likely their 'recovery' pretition that is only 100mb. sda2 is most likely the actual system. sda3 is Kubuntu [13:37] nonDefaultUserna, mount /dev/sda [13:37] can't find /dev/sda in /etc/fstab or etc/mtab [13:37] mbr is only 512kb [13:38] if you are on LiveCD I don't think there should be an sda in the fstab [13:38] hey BluesKaj :) [13:38] yeah [13:38] ovidiu-florin: so I can't mount it? [13:38] BluesKaj: whats the exact issue this person is having? [13:38] fdisk -l shows everything just fine [13:39] nonDefaultUserna: you can mount it [13:39] nonDefaultUserna, where is windows installed , first partition ? [13:39] BluesKaj: is this a dual boot setup [13:39] BluesKaj: Windows has sda1 and sda2. [13:39] eagles051387: yes. [13:40] and windows was installed before linux [13:40] eagles051387: yes. The problem is that I installed Kubuntu, but for some reason, it did not install GRUB. [13:40] ahh ok [13:40] GRUB doesn't want to go on my system [13:40] nonDefaultUserna: used a bootable usb? [13:40] to install [13:40] LiveCD [13:40] O_o [13:40] then grub shoulkd have installed to the mbr automatically , or did you do a netinstall or PXE ? [13:40] (DVD, but same thing) [13:40] ya [13:41] nonDefaultUserna: You could try using EasyBCD to boot Linux from the Windows boot loader. [13:41] BluesKaj: i have see only oddness with grub where if you leave the usb in the port it installs grub to the bootable usb [13:41] BluesKaj: I did a custom install and picked where I wanted it. I set sda as the bootloader location however [13:41] so you have to remove the usb after the installer starts to install it to the MBR of the disk [13:41] nonDefaultUserna: Did you try re-installing Kubuntu again? [13:41] nonDefaultUserna, that's correct , then it should be there [13:42] DarthFrog: I did not. I assumed if it didn't work once, doing the same thing again would yeild same results. [13:42] after removing boot medium and booting, GRUB gave me grub recovery (I had ubuntu 13.04 on there earlier) [13:43] hold on a sec [13:44] try this out nonDefaultUserna http://www.supergrubdisk.org/ [13:44] that is a repair utility [13:44] i would make a bootable usb if you can [13:44] using unetbootin [13:45] ok, I'm out, BBL [13:45] later ovidiu-florin [13:45] eagles051387, that's awhole lot of trouble just to install grub [13:46] then i think the only other way would be to mount the partition in a chroot [13:46] and run sudo update-grub [13:46] in grub recovery console, is there a command to restore it? [13:46] nonDefaultUserna: on the live cd? [13:47] No, when I boot without a medium, I get grub recovery [13:47] eagles051387: If GRUB didn't install, he'd have to run grub-install, not update-grub. :-) [13:47] nonDefaultUserna: then run the grub recovery [13:47] I have GRUB from my Ubuntu installation that this is going on top of, but it removed the previous GRUB [13:47] so it's not full GRUB, and I have no idea how to work it [13:48] sadly I'm not any help there [13:49] When setting up Kubuntu installation, I only have to specify / and /home locations, yes? [13:49] O_o [13:49] nonDefaultUserna: you can let it automatically partition it for you [13:49] or manually [13:49] nonDefaultUserna, in the live cd mount dev/sda/ /mnt , then sudo grub-install /mnt /dev/sda [13:49] if it partitions for me, it wipes the whole drive. :P [13:50] try what BluesKaj is suggesting :) [13:50] BluesKaj: you are going to have an issue [13:50] the live cd won't know the mount points for dev/sda [13:50] as its not going to be in the fstab [13:50] not if you use /mnt [13:50] ahh right :D i forgot about that [13:51] worked here but I have a separate drive soi it's essentially the same [13:51] as livecd [13:54] BluesKaj: mount: special device dev/sda/ does not exist [13:55] BluesKaj: i think he will need a chroot to mount the partition [14:00] I'm trying a reinstall to see if that will do it. [14:00] Other Ubuntu versions are fine adding a working bootloader, not sure what Kubuntu hates about it [14:00] nonDefaultUserna: Pay particular attention to the screen that installs the bootloader. [14:01] Zentyal is not working for me. I've done lsof -i to check ports created a group named admin added root and myusername to it. restarted zentyal apache and still don't get the login page. Can anyone suggest other things to try? [14:01] Huh....the installer crashed === joel is now known as Guest83316 === kubuntu is now known as Guest3404 === Guest3404 is now known as nonDefaultName [14:13] * BluesKaj wonders if dev/sda is just a typo or is he actually trying to install to dev/sda [14:13] Yeah guys, I reinstalled and I get "/boot/grub/i386.pc/normal.mod not found" [14:14] nonDefaultName: Did you check if the CD was good? [14:14] yup. [14:14] can BluesKaj, I was using exactly: mount /dev/sda [14:17] /dev/sda is the whole disk, not a partition on it. [14:18] /dev/sda is the windows partition [14:19] Partition? [14:19] dual booting [14:20] Well, swap the drives around and install GRUB on /dev/sdb. [14:21] I thought /dev/sda was the entire disk and 1,2, and 3 were partitions inside of it [14:21] Correct. [14:22] But if you install GRUB to sda or sdb, it installs to the MBR. [14:22] I tried: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/reinstall-ubuntu-grub-bootloader-after-windows-wipes-it-out/ and it cannot mount selected partition. wtf? [14:22] nonDefaultName, the windows partition has the mbr on it , and that's where grub should have installed [14:23] BluesKaj: If he can swap the boot order of the drives in the BIOS, then just ignore Windows and sda. Do everything on sdb. [14:23] So I should install to sda1? [14:24] nonDefaultName: No. You'll wipe out your Windows installation. [14:24] Unless that's your goal, of course. :-) [14:24] When why is blue saying install grub to windows partition? sda1 and sda2 IS my windows partitions [14:25] Which version of Windows, BTW? [14:25] 7 [14:25] That's usually well-behaved. [14:25] DarthFrog, yeah , thats what i did in order to have grub installed on this drive , i couldn't edit /etcdefault/grub because it was on a different drive [14:26] nonDefaultName, I did NOT specify sda1 , I meant sda , which is where the mbr is located at the fron tof your drive , not the windows partiton asda1 [14:27] why is this so difficult? [14:27] nonDefaultName: You're special. :-) [14:28] nonDefaultName: Normally, it isn't. Normally, it just works. [14:28] nonDefaultName,did you use a usb stick on your initial kubuntu install? [14:29] I used a DVD [14:29] ok [14:29] I used grub-update and it seemed to do something, let me try a reboot [14:30] try installing grub to sdb fom the live dvd instead as DarthFrog has suggested [14:31] Hello all [14:31] Hide the cheese, yahyaa is here! ;-^) [14:33] for some reason, i cant see any words on the web, or when I open a pdf file, can someone help? [14:34] I am running kubuntu13.04 [14:34] yahyaa: That's rather odd, to say the least. [14:34] Which programs are you running? [14:35] what do you mean [14:35] applications [14:35] Yes. [14:35] okular, firefox [14:36] And they don't display anything? Very strange. [14:36] skype, clementine, vlc,handbrake, glade... and more! [14:36] But only Firefox and Okular are showing this behaviour? [14:36] well they do, its just the web and okular [14:37] Try rekonq? [14:37] i got a error message that "kdm" or something of that nature did not load and is shutting down! [14:38] yahyaa, which kubuntu version ? [14:38] but I have since rebooted, a number of times, and it is still doing the same thing [14:38] 13.04 the new one [14:38] kdm? [14:39] yahyaa: Can you issue this command: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" . All on one line. [14:39] yes, but I also did that at least 10 time, but to no avail! [14:39] i can try it again! [14:40] yahyaa, try dist-upgrade [14:40] ok [14:41] it says command not found [14:41] do I need to put apt-get infront of it [14:41] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [14:42] Do the update first. [14:42] ok [14:42] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [14:44] ok i did it [14:44] checking to see if it worked... [14:44] Did it install a bunch of stuff? [14:45] no [14:45] and no it did not work [14:46] You seem to have a botched system. [14:46] wow [14:46] so I should just reinstall it, yes [14:46] My suggesttion would be to backup your home directory and do a fresh install. [14:47] I figured you would say that!!! ugh........ [14:47] If it were me, that's what I'd do. Nuke & pave, in my wife's words. :-) [14:48] If you haven't backed-up your home directory yet, you should do that anyway.
