[00:00] <rmg51> I never used this product, but if UNetbootin isn't working for you try something else
[00:01] <rmg51> http://superuser.com/questions/66948/how-do-i-place-a-bootable-iso-on-a-usb-drive
[00:02] <rmg51> It should be noted that unetbootin fails at  creating bootable media of some distributions - even those explicitely  listed as supported.
[00:02] <rmg51> from the last link ^
[00:03] <jedijf> scottrigby: do it again - it's like dorothy in the wizard of oz = gotta click your usb 3 times and say 'i wanna go boot'
[00:04] <jedijf> redo the whole unetbootin thing
[00:07] <jedijf> and use downloaded iso
[00:08] <scottrigby> haha yeah. just finished DLing ISO (in a cafe w notsuperfast connection)
[00:08]  * scottrigby trying again
[00:09] <scottrigby> oh one question
[00:09] <jedijf> unetbootin is great - when it works - have to keep doing - then try to boot - eventually there will be success
[00:09] <scottrigby> before i format this again, I'm gonna erase it. What format should I use?
[00:09] <scottrigby> MS-DOS (FAT)
[00:09] <jedijf> yes
[00:09] <scottrigby> ExFAT?
[00:09] <rmg51> fat32
[00:10] <jedijf> fat32
[00:10] <scottrigby> sounds like a former lover
[00:10] <jedijf> greek yogurt all over keyboard now
[00:10]  * scottrigby \m/ (>.<) \m/
[00:11] <scottrigby> ok so MS-DOS (FAT) right
[00:11] <jedijf>  Note that the USB drive must be formatted as FAT32; otherwise it won't be listed.
[00:11] <scottrigby> hmm
[00:11] <scottrigby> i'm trying to format from my mac, and it only gives those two options :p
[00:11] <scottrigby> can i format it from the PC?
[00:11] <jedijf> fat16 works too
[00:12] <scottrigby> IDK how to do that if so
[00:12] <jedijf> win xp right
[00:12] <scottrigby> yeah its literally only `MS-DOS (FAT)` or `ExFAT` from the mac disk utility
[00:12] <scottrigby> yeah XP
[00:12] <jedijf> fat is prolly 16 on mac and ok
[00:12] <rmg51> try doing everything from Windows
[00:13] <scottrigby> hem, ok. Any tips on finding out how?
[00:13] <scottrigby> *hrm i mean
[00:13] <scottrigby> not hem. or him… or hymn
[00:14] <jedijf> http://tech.anoj.net/2013/01/fixing-unetbootin-on-mac-os-x-to-create.html
[00:14] <jedijf> for osx
[00:15] <scottrigby> oh cool ok
[00:18] <rmg51> one last piece of advice....
[00:18] <rmg51> get a computer with a burner in it ;-)
[00:19] <jedijf> win might be easier
[00:20] <rmg51> that's what she said
[00:20] <jedijf> right click my computer - manage - disk management - usb stick - format - select fat 32
[00:22] <jedijf> and i have better luck with unet than usb creator
[00:25] <scottrigby> ok jedijf i followed steps up till #4
[00:26] <scottrigby> because we're doing Lubuntu not http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/
[00:26] <scottrigby> so not clear what the equivalent would be for `sudo dd conv=notrunc bs=440 count=1 if=mbr.bin of=/dev/rdisk2`
[00:26] <scottrigby> I'm thinking i may just skip that step and proceed with UNetbootin using the ISO
[00:27] <scottrigby> unless… you think that step really is a good idea anyway
[00:28] <scottrigby> yeah, doing step 4 :)
[00:29] <jedijf> scottrigby: that is the step
[00:29] <jedijf> that writes a mbr to the usb stick
[00:31] <scottrigby> gotcha. Guessign i want the one in bios/mbr/mbr.bin :) there are a few in there
[00:32] <jedijf> where it extracted to
[00:32] <jedijf> the syslinux.zip file
[00:34]  * scottrigby filgers Xd
[00:34] <scottrigby> jedijf: oh, my ~/Downloads folder, but i got it i think…
[00:34] <scottrigby> at least i hope
[00:34] <scottrigby> i am using /dev/disk1
[00:34] <scottrigby> though, that's the device
[00:35] <scottrigby> the mounted partition is /dev/disk1s1
[00:35] <scottrigby> the example seems to refer to the disk though, not the partition path. so i think i did it right
[00:35] <scottrigby> we shall see!
[00:37] <scottrigby> so far so good!
[00:38] <scottrigby> it's the first time we see 'Install Lubuntu'! :D
[00:39] <scottrigby> ok so… after choosing this… are we literally booting from the USB, or did that format the PC?
[00:39] <scottrigby> we want the latter
[00:39] <scottrigby> so we don't need to run off the USB
[00:39] <scottrigby> it felt like it went a little too fast for that?
[00:40] <scottrigby> ok nm there's a wizard.
[00:41] <scottrigby> woo
[00:41] <scottrigby> ok so
[00:41] <scottrigby> jedijf: do we want… `Erase disk and install Lubuntu`? `Encrypt the new Ubuntu installation for security`? `Use LVM with the new Ubuntu software`?
[00:42] <scottrigby> I feel like we want option1
[00:42] <scottrigby> oh dang. Yes we want option 1. Options 2 and 3 are optional extras
[00:45] <rmg51> stay with the simple
[00:45] <jedijf> erase and install
[00:46] <jedijf> sorry getting out of bathing suit
[00:46] <rmg51> tmi
[00:50] <scottrigby> lol
[00:50] <scottrigby> jedijf++
[00:50] <scottrigby> rmg51++
[00:50] <scottrigby> it totally workedddddddd
[00:52] <jedijf> let's hope the actual install works
[00:52] <jedijf> but first - boot live
[00:52] <jedijf> check wireless - audio - etc
[00:52] <jedijf> then if/when everything works install
[09:39] <rmg51> Morning
[09:44] <JonathanD> morning.
[11:09] <waltman> morning?
[12:04] <teddy-dbear> Morning people, dogs, turkeys and everything else
[16:43] <scottrigby> afternoon?
[16:48] <jedijf> installed yet?
[17:13] <scottrigby> jedijf: yes he did :D we got kicked out of the cafe right when it asked about installing language, but yeah looks like all worked!
[17:14] <jedijf> sweeeeet
