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"etc [07:26] Is this the right place to get help? [07:27] Hi fiklig [07:27] Hi Magespawn [07:27] Yes it is, this is the voluteer help channel [07:28] hi fiklig [07:28] Great! [07:28] Hi Kilos [07:28] that sounds to me like the ubuntu install did not complete correctly [07:29] yeah grub aint completed [07:29] fiklig: can you boot your win xp and get a working os? [07:29] Yes, at the end it ejected the CD and then terminated all processes and just hunf there, and I had to manuallly shut down [07:30] Sorry, 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] magespawn, thats where boot-repair fixed things [07:31] does 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] but i dunno if it works with 13.04 [07:32] magespawn - I'll have to check wheterh it sees the whole drive . . . just give me a minute or 2 to check please [07:32] i dont think xp will see the ext4 parts [07:33] I just looked at the hardrive, only 121 GB fo 250 disk is showing under windows [07:33] only 121 GB of 250 GB disk . . .. [07:33] so it looks like the ubuntu partitioning worked [07:34] ok [07:34] so perhaps just the grub is the problem which is the boot loader for ubuntu [07:34] let me google [07:34] thanks [07:38] wbb sheep time [07:39] kilos - sorry?? what is "wbb sheep time" [07:39] fiklig is there critical data on the machine? [07:39] will be back sheep time [07:40] magespawn - I did trnasfer all my data to new 1 Tbyte Hardrive [07:40] Kilos looks after sheep he is going to check on them and Be Back Later [07:40] maybe follow the instructions here http://askubuntu.com/questions/256879/dual-boot-menu-not-showing-after-installation-of-ubuntu-12-04 [07:40] magespawn - thanks! intersting sideline !! ;-) [07:40] thanks I'll look up the link now [07:41] magespawn, i once had a prob the same. xp wouldnt allow grub into the mbr [07:41] i think thats when i dumped xp totally [07:41] fiklig: a lot of the guys here are busy at work at the moment, so it does help t hang around [07:43] thanks 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? [07:46] no that is just before the computer shuts down or reboots. that fact that it hung can indicate a problem of some sort [07:47] there is also the forums on the ubuntu and ubuntu-za websites where you go for info, and google is your friend [07:48] most of the problems come up with later versions of windows, xp usually plays nicely [07:48] thanks 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? [07:49] Kilos: what is the mailing list link? [07:49] sec [07:49] fiklig: how did you get here? from the site or are you using a irc client? [07:49] http://bit.ly/MCOujZ [07:49] from the ubuntu-za site [07:49] fiklig: you can also ask here ^^ [07:50] probable just close the tab/windows with the chat in [07:50] magespawn, there is a way to boot from the cd and install grub again but i think you gotta mnt the drive first [07:51] magespawn: and kilos: I'll use the install CD and "try ubuntu" option, and then try the grub repair using command line [07:52] I really appreciate you guys advice, thanks again ....

[10:17] magespawn: indeed it is [10:18] Vince-0: i did that years ago, central ldap login with openldap, pretty cool stuff [10:18] i was jsut checking out high schools for 2016 [10:18] just [10:18] Vince-0: only problem: when ldap goes down :( [10:18] that is when fish one goes [10:19] prep/college? [10:19] college grade 7 [10:19] yes! also , this has to be on ldap2,linux mint 13 [10:19] magespawn: grade 8? [10:19] yes sorry [10:19] Vince-0: am i getting the right impression that, these days, linux mint is more popular than ubuntu? [10:20] I use mint [10:20] Vince-0: i get the impression that ubuntu has taken a big blow due to unity [10:20] at office and at home [10:20] Squirm: main motivation? [10:20] charl: that's why I'm using mint [10:20] Mint MATE [10:20] ah i see [10:20] anyone use cinnamon? [10:20] didn't appear to be terribly stable last when i used it but it looks very promising [10:26] yes indeed [10:26] Mate's OK - it runs on 1GB RAM systems [10:26] well even windows 8 runs on 1gb ram systems :P [10:26] does not exactly give me the feeling of minimalism :P [10:27] it's a pitty the desktop environment decides the distro [10:27] i am using standard ubuntu with i3 now, the new xubuntu also looks great, lubuntu too [10:27] too many choices [10:27] I have half an idea to get makululinux a go [10:28] lol [10:28] wheres the other half [10:28] only look at it now for the first time [10:29] it looks like an african project, anyone know who is behind it? [10:29] i have not seen many african distributions the last while, there used to be a couple [10:29] ubuntu is too actually, but that kind of went international [10:29] business needs ability to easily lock down tight 200+ linux desktops - (can't get mate to disable wallpaper change reliably) [10:30] define lock down tight? [10:30] some Pretoria guy, he's quite good - getting I think 5 DE's in one [10:30] that's not so difficult actually [10:30] most just don't do it out of choice [10:31] it's all just package selection [10:31] program compatibility is lots of work? [10:31] program compatibility? [10:31] what does that have to do with the DE? [10:31] Cinnamon, Gnome, KDE, Mate, Xfce [10:31] o/ lo [10:32] er, iol.co.za is falling over [10:32] Maaz: is iol.co.za up? [10:32] it all just comes down to application themeing but in principle it doesn't matter [10:32] nuvolari: No, http://iol.co.za/ is down (Server is not responding) [10:32] hi nuvolari [10:32] hello charl [10:33] lo nuvolari [10:33] i'm going for a walk outside, bbl... [10:35] oh hi Kilos :) [10:35] hi all [11:32] nuvolari: have you seen why? [11:33] it's being DDoS'd by Hactivists [11:57] yo Sub_Oracle [11:58] Squirm: how do you know that? [11:58] pastebin url?
