fikligHi there, yesterday I tried installing Ubuntu 13.04 dual boot with my Win XP.  Did the  whole procedure.  Now I only get Win XP at start up , and also get a  Win  messgae ""checking file system on C:" "volume label is System" "one of your disks needs to be checked for consistency"etc07:26
fikligIs this the right place to get help?07:26
magespawnHi fiklig 07:27
fikligHi Magespawn07:27
magespawnYes it is, this is the voluteer help channel07:27
Kiloshi fiklig 07:28
fikligGreat!07:28
fikligHi Kilos07:28
magespawnthat sounds to me like the ubuntu install did not complete correctly07:28
Kilosyeah grub aint completed07:29
magespawnfiklig: can you boot your win xp and get a working os?07:29
fikligYes, at the end it ejected the CD  and then terminated all processes and just hunf there, and I had to manuallly shut down07:29
fikligSorry, got mixed up.  Yes, I can boot the Win XP and have a workign OS, but int he bootup it gives achkdsk error message "one of your disks needs to be checked for consistency"07:30
Kilosmagespawn, thats where boot-repair fixed things07:30
magespawndoes the win xp see the whole hard drive or is part of it hidden, ie you now have 40gb hadrdrive instead of 80gb?07:31
Kilosbut i dunno if it works with 13.0407:31
fikligmagespawn - I'll have to check wheterh it sees the whole drive . . . just give me a minute or 2 to check please07:32
Kilosi dont think xp will see the ext4 parts07:32
fikligI just looked at the hardrive, only 121 GB fo 250 disk is showing under windows07:33
fikligonly 121 GB of 250 GB disk . . .. 07:33
magespawnso it looks like the ubuntu partitioning worked07:33
fikligok07:34
magespawnso perhaps just the grub is the problem which is the boot loader for ubuntu07:34
magespawnlet me google07:34
fikligthanks07:34
Kiloswbb sheep time07:38
fikligkilos - sorry?? what is "wbb sheep time"07:39
magespawnfiklig is there critical data on the machine?07:39
magespawnwill be back sheep time07:39
fikligmagespawn - I did trnasfer all my data to new 1 Tbyte Hardrive07:40
magespawnKilos looks after sheep he is going to check on them and Be Back Later07:40
magespawnmaybe follow the instructions here http://askubuntu.com/questions/256879/dual-boot-menu-not-showing-after-installation-of-ubuntu-12-0407:40
fikligmagespawn - thanks! intersting sideline !! ;-)07:40
fikligthanks I'll look up the link now07:40
Kilosmagespawn, i once had a prob the same. xp wouldnt allow grub into the mbr07:41
Kilosi think thats when i dumped xp totally07:41
magespawnfiklig: a lot of the guys here are busy at work at the moment, so it does help t hang around07:41
fikligthanks I was just checking, the last thing I did when installing 13.04 , the message to restart, then ejected the disc, then this message"asking askign all remai9ning rpocesses to terminate" [OK]" and then it hung. Is thatnormal?07:43
magespawnno that is just before the computer shuts down or reboots. that fact that it hung can indicate a problem of some sort07:46
magespawnthere is also the forums on the ubuntu and ubuntu-za websites where you go for info, and google is your friend07:47
magespawnmost of the problems come up with later versions of windows, xp usually plays nicely07:48
fikligthanks I had tried googleing, shall try ubuntu-za website now.  Thanks for your help.  I'll try the bootrepair link also. How do  I log out of this IRC?07:48
magespawnKilos: what is the mailing list link?07:49
Kilossec07:49
magespawnfiklig: how did you get here? from the site or are you using a irc client?07:49
Kiloshttp://bit.ly/MCOujZ 07:49
fikligfrom the ubuntu-za site07:49
magespawnfiklig: you can also ask here ^^07:49
magespawnprobable just close the tab/windows with the chat in07:50
Kilosmagespawn, there is a way to boot from the cd and install grub again but i think you gotta mnt the drive first07:50
fikligmagespawn: and kilos: I'll use the install CD and "try ubuntu" option, and then  try the grub repair using command line07:51
fikligI really appreciate you guys advice, thanks again ....07:52
Kilosvisit here often fiklig 07:52
Kilosaw07:52

Squirmmagespawn: indeed it is10:17
charlVince-0: i did that years ago, central ldap login with openldap, pretty cool stuff10:18
magespawni was jsut checking out high schools for 201610:18
magespawnjust10:18
charlVince-0: only problem: when ldap goes down :(10:18
magespawnthat is when fish one goes10:18
Squirmprep/college?10:19
magespawncollege grade 710:19
Vince-0yes! also , this has to be on ldap2,linux mint 1310:19
Squirmmagespawn: grade 8?10:19
magespawnyes sorry10:19
charlVince-0: am i getting the right impression that, these days, linux mint is more popular than ubuntu?10:19
SquirmI use mint10:20
charlVince-0: i get the impression that ubuntu has taken a big blow due to unity10:20
Squirmat office and at home10:20
charlSquirm: main motivation?10:20
Squirmcharl: that's why I'm using mint10:20
SquirmMint MATE10:20
charlah i see10:20
charlanyone use cinnamon?10:20
charldidn't appear to be terribly stable last when i used it but it looks very promising10:20
Vince-0yes indeed10:26
Vince-0Mate's OK - it runs on 1GB RAM systems10:26
charlwell even windows 8 runs on 1gb ram systems :P10:26
charldoes not exactly give me the feeling of minimalism :P10:26
Vince-0it's a pitty the desktop environment decides the distro10:27
charli am using standard ubuntu with i3 now, the new xubuntu also looks great, lubuntu too10:27
charltoo many choices10:27
Vince-0I have half an idea to get makululinux a go10:27
Kiloslol10:28
Kiloswheres the other half10:28
charlonly look at it now for the first time10:28
charlit looks like an african project, anyone know who is behind it?10:29
charli have not seen many african distributions the last while, there used to be a couple10:29
charlubuntu is too actually, but that kind of went international10:29
Vince-0business needs ability to easily lock down tight 200+ linux desktops - (can't get mate to disable wallpaper change reliably)10:29
charldefine lock down tight?10:30
Vince-0some Pretoria guy, he's quite good - getting I think 5 DE's in one10:30
charlthat's not so difficult actually10:30
charlmost just don't do it out of choice10:30
charlit's all just package selection10:31
Vince-0program compatibility is lots of work?10:31
charlprogram compatibility?10:31
charlwhat does that have to do with the DE?10:31
Vince-0Cinnamon, Gnome, KDE, Mate, Xfce10:31
nuvolario/ lo10:31
nuvolarier, iol.co.za is falling over10:32
nuvolariMaaz: is iol.co.za up?10:32
charlit all just comes down to application themeing but in principle it doesn't matter10:32
Maaznuvolari: No, http://iol.co.za/ is down (Server is not responding)10:32

charli agree with otter no point in taking down a site like that12:29
charli was interviewed by him a long time ago12:29
charli see on their twitter they are about to take down http://www.zanupf.org.zw/12:30

magespawnahh well, that kinda sucks, will have to wait a bit for that19:02
magespawnyeah i saw something alpng those lines on twitter, i think19:03
inetproand the sad part is that twitter RSS feeds have now also been retired19:03
* inetpro can't understand why people don't want RSS any more19:03
Kilosaw19:04
Cantidei like RSS <319:04
Cantidewhat are they using instead?19:04

inetpromagespawn: absolutely right19:07
magespawnand if you have the right client you update and read offline19:07
magespawnKilos: maybe try one of the other clients19:08
Kilosya will have to try something19:09
Kilosinetpro, is it dead already19:09
inetpromagespawn: I also used to monitor a twitter search string or two as RSS feeds, now those are all broken19:09
inetproKilos: yep, they officially retired (killed) it today19:09
magespawnnever tried that19:09
magespawnwith lots of warning of course19:10
Kilosi go see what pidgin twitter says19:10
inetprothey actually did extend the retirement date with a month already19:10
inetproshould have been dead in May19:10
inetprobut as usual everyone waits until the last minute to fix things if at all19:11
* inetpro was silently hoping that the devs would fix things for me19:12
Kilosya pidgin twitter dead too19:13
magespawnthe droid twitter still works19:13

inetproactually tweetdeck for android was also supposed to die, but mine is still working19:14
Kilossflr and corrie gonna be lost19:14
inetproKilos: I don't think so, they are probably using something that is already using the new API19:15
magespawnisn't there a tweetdeck for ubuntu? runs on adobe air?19:15
inetpromagespawn: tweetdeck on the web is perfect, but19:18
inetproit's not the same as a dedicated client19:18
inetproSee: https://web.tweetdeck.com/19:18
magespawni though it was only a client, learn something new each day19:19
