[09:41] <CarstenG> uzername: Hello.
[09:42] <CarstenG> uzername: I saw you on Tuesday in the IRC log...
[09:42] <CarstenG> ... and gone.
[09:44] <CarstenG> uzername: Hi again :-)
[09:44] <CarstenG> uzername: I saw you on Tuesday in the IRC log...
[09:44] <CarstenG> uzername: You had a question?
[09:45] <uzername> Yeah. I'm going to install Lubuntu on my EEEPC 1025C
[09:45] <uzername> And save my Win 7 starter
[09:46] <CarstenG> Good luck with this experiment :-)
[09:46] <uzername> (I've payed for it)
[09:46] <uzername> Shall you stay here?
[09:47] <uzername> I'm newb on Linux
[09:47] <uzername> And I'm afraid to wreck the whole netbook
[09:48] <uzername> So... I saw some recomendations about Lubuntu 12.04 installation here:
[09:48] <uzername> http://linuxeeepc.blogspot.com/2012/08/lubuntu-on-eeepc-1025c-with-correct.html
[09:48] <CarstenG> Well, the most important thing is, that you have done a backup of all your data..
[09:49] <uzername> I'm writing you now from my big Windows PC. All my working data are already here.
[09:50] <uzername> So what distro should I consider? 12.04 or 13.04?
[09:50] <CarstenG> ok, then you can start :-)
[09:50] <CarstenG> Well, 12.04 is a LTS, means long term support...
[09:50] <CarstenG> 13.04 is newer...
[09:51] <uzername> 12.04 Is considered to be working and 13.04... I'm not sure about it.
[09:51] <CarstenG> Then start with 12.04
[09:52] <CarstenG> After you got familiar with it, you can think about a dual boot installation with 13.04
[09:52] <CarstenG> Do you know the Ubuntu Manual?
[09:52] <uzername> Here: http://blog.uninstall.it/2012/06/05/kubuntu-12-04-on-asus-eeepc-1025c/
[09:52] <uzername> I also saw some experiments on modifying Linux kernel for this EEEPC. Is it OK to modify and recompile kernel?
[09:53] <CarstenG> There you will find a good beginners guide.
[09:53] <uzername> I've read Ubuntu Manual, but it did not contain some specific technical recommendations and troubleshooting issues.
[09:54] <uzername> Russian manual by Nevrotin (aka Malamut) is much better, but that is about 10.04
[09:54] <CarstenG> Well, kernel compilation is a advanced topic. It depends on your general knowledge about Linux.
[09:55] <uzername> CarstenG: Thanks guy, you are much more polite than those men from russian chats.
[09:55] <CarstenG> You wrote, you are new to Linux, so I would recommend to start with a normal installation.
[09:56] <CarstenG> If you have later on more experience, you can start with your own compilations of kernels...
[09:57] <CarstenG> Thanks, you are welcome. :-)
[09:57] <uzername> I've used MinGW on Windows but I've found that most of time I'm with MinGW.
[09:58] <uzername> So I've decided to move to LUbuntu completely
[09:58] <CarstenG> Which manual do you mean? a Russian translation of the Ubuntu Manual, or a original Russian manual?
[09:59] <uzername> Umm, both. Nevrotin's manual is based on translation, but he have added some of his experience.
[09:59] <uzername> Is it okay?
[09:59] <CarstenG> Sure.
[10:00] <uzername> So, I now on #ubuntu-manual
[10:00] <CarstenG> Where can I find it?
[10:00] <CarstenG> the manual? on http://ubuntu-manual.org I don't see it...
[10:02] <uzername> So, you want to look through Nevrotin's Work?
[10:02] <uzername> Sorry, his name is Vadym Nevorotin
[10:03] <CarstenG> And if you like to contribute to the Russian version of the Ubuntu Manual, you are welcome. The version for Raring (13.04) is at 90%...
[10:03] <uzername> Contribute? I'm new to Linux.
[10:03] <CarstenG> I mean with translation.
[10:04] <CarstenG> Translation is a good way to learn a lot about the system..
[10:04] <CarstenG> Yes, I would like to have a look to it, do you have a link?
[10:07] <uzername> I have it on my PC... uploading to dropbox, wait, please.
[10:09] <uzername> Ugh, carp! My channel seems to be cludged...
[10:09] <uzername> here you go, CarstenG: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/27590640/lucid-guide.pdf
[10:10] <uzername> It was rather popular several years ago, but it's old now.
[10:10] <uzername> Do you know Russian?
[10:12] <CarstenG> Well, my Russian is not so good. I had it in school, but this was long time ago^^
[10:12] <CarstenG> But I can still read the letters. :-)
[10:13] <uzername> Yay! Russian is studied at American schools!
[10:13] <uzername> Downloading lubuntu-12.04-desktop-i386.iso
[10:13] <uzername> ...
[10:13] <CarstenG> ok, I'm away for some minutes.
[10:13] <CarstenG> see you later...
[10:14] <uzername> You'he been so nice :3
[10:14] <uzername> And... It's done!
[10:35] <uzername> Come back, bro, please :3
[10:59] <CarstenG> Hi, I'm back...
[11:00] <uzername> So, I'm done with downloading iso and almost done with writing it to usb.
[11:00] <uzername> I have Used Unetbootin
[11:00] <CarstenG> What's that?
[11:01] <uzername> Tool for making bootable media (usb, CD, DVD) from ISO files
[11:01] <CarstenG> ah, ok
[11:02] <uzername> Have you used it?
[11:06] <CarstenG> no. I use usb-creator for creating a bootable usb stick
[11:06] <CarstenG> it's a default application in ubuntu
[11:11] <uzername> Created USB drive with lubuntu distro, set correct booting order in bios, but windows is still loading (even with usb drive in port)
[11:13] <uzername> I've got a bad feeling about that UEFI
[11:13] <uzername> abbreviation
[11:14] <CarstenG> does this netbook already have UEFI?
[11:26] <uzername> Seems so... But how can I determine, whether my Win 7 Starter was preinstalled in UEFI mode or not?
[11:37] <CarstenG> mmmh, I have no experience with UEFI...
[11:37] <CarstenG> Sorry, I can not help you here :-(
[12:21] <uzername> I've managed to boot LUbuntu from USB using some unobvious BIOS options.
[12:22] <uzername> And chose 'suspend' from menu. That was wrong move
[12:58] <uzername> CarstenG: After some playing with BIOS settings (they were not obvious, I'd say) I have managed to start install sequence!
[12:58] <uzername> Is it OK to Install Lubuntu inside Windows 7?
