<0> Hello?
<0> Would anyone here be able to help me install Ubuntu on my machine?
<0> It keeps generating errors
<0> Even though the media check is fine
<1> specify errors
<0> Sorry, was in the kitchen.
<0> I use the install CD, and it procedes along fine, until it gets to the installing software portion.
<0> It always freezes, and generates an error after installing "xresprobe"
<0> And some times, it has errors stating that files in the "installing base system" are corrupt
<0> Other times, it does not.
<0> I've downloaded it twice, and both CD's have the same result.
<0> I have a Gateway M275.
<2> sounds odd... get the alternate iso and install in text mode.... perhaps
<0> That's what I'm using
<1> checked hardware compabilities?
<0> Text install mode, and it's currently frozen at "Select and install software"
<0> 6%
<0> Please wait...
<0> It's done this several times.
<0> I would say it's because it's a tablet PC, but my friend hasn't had a problem, and he installed it on his
<0> (We all have the same laptops... school issued)
<0> Here's a different question...
<0> It completed the rest of the installation
<0> and just rebooted to a command line
<0> is there anyway to download/install the gui from here?
<3> i imagine there is
<3> although i dont know what the package name would be
<3> sudo apt-cache search package-name
<3> sudo apt-get install package-name
<2> WoodJRx: easily fixed...
<2> WoodJRx: aptitude is command line gui frontend for apt
<3> whats the package name? gdm?
<1> it didn't freeze?
<3> i havent done any xorg and gnome installation
<2> ya need to install ubuntu-desktop package
<3> ive just dealt with production servers
<2> or kubuntu-desktop or xubuntu-desktop etc...
<0> It froze up, and failed installing software, but then completed the rest of the installation
<1> ok
<3> hey ive noticed a nasty little bug
<0> How do i download that / install it from the prompt?
<3> if you attempt to mount a drive (through fstab) using the wrong type filesystem
<0> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop ?
<2> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
<3> xorg/gnome will NOT start
<3> it will kick you to a root command line
<2> ian___: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
<3> ..
<3> no
<3> i just named why it happens
<2> and i just told you how to fix
<3> you can start gdm manually through /etc/init.d/gdm start
<1> what, if you use a fake filesystem?
<3> dude
<3> jesus christ
<3> i wasnt asking how to fix it
<2> once reconfigured try /etc/init.d/gdm restart again
<3> i just told you why it happened
<3> jesus christ
<3> i hate you all
<2> well... fsck you too...
<0> it's working, it says
<1> it's a bugg if you edit system config files and enter invalid values? :)
<0> It just completed, and the screen went blank...
<0> There's no prompt, nor anything else...
<0> Should I restart? Or wait..
<0> The processor isn't on, and it isn't reading from the CD
<1> pre fn+f3 several times
<1> press
<0> nada
<0> Finally back to the prompt, actually
<1> ok, see what happens if you reboot but i suspect some hardware failure
<0> k
<0> One moment.
<1> oh the promt went back
<0> still staying at the prompt on restarting
<1> type gdm
<0> "-bash: gdm: command not found"
<1> you did install it?
<0> Ummm...
<0> I installed ubuntu-desktop
<2> WoodJRx: have ya got /etc/init.d/gdm file?
<1> type locate gdm
<0> "Locate: /var/cache/locate/locatedb: No such file or directory"
<1> uuhm what about find / -name gdm
<2> typical... run sudo updatedb
<2> the locatedb hasn't been updated for the first time yet
<0> permission denied (for the find)
<0> Ok..
<0> running now
<1> sudo find
<0> it showed:
<0> .
<0> ./.bashrc
<0> ./.bash_profile
<0> ./.bash_logout
<2> dont paste crap in here
<0> ./.sudo_as_admin_successful
<0> Sorry...
<1> you did sudo find / -name gdm and it showed that
<0> yeah
<0> I just did sudo apt-get install gdm, and it's installing now, since I couldn't find it.
<2> gdm is run from /etc/init.d/gdm script so if that dont exist it aint installed...
<2> is why i asked...
<1> ubuntu-desktop did not install properly
<2> sudo apt-get -f install
<0> Ok.
<0> Still no way to get the gui
<1> do you get a gui in the installation process
<0> I don't know.
<0> I'm really new, and Ubuntu was supposed to be easy to install, and run
<4> Gah, damn away scripts...
<5> My bad, it's the script
<5> I'm removing the away system
<4> k
<5> dang finally
<5> strager. it's just because I haven't honestly used mIRC in over 2 years, and now we have a dedicated box
<5> so I went back to windows so my family can use my pc
<4> Ah, gotcha
<5> yea, so now I just use ssh and hook it up with the box whenever I need to
<1> i think ubuntu is, in some ways, even easier than windows for a beginner to install and use
<4> Use, yes. Install, I'm not so sure.
<1> all the office applications etc are installed by default
<4> But LiveCD is real nice.
<4> Yeah, OpenOffice does beat buying 200$+ for extra software. =|
<1> when you have booted from the cdrom you should have entered the graphical desktop where you just press install
<5> timo_ not always
<1> well in most cases
<5> and for windows
<5> it usually comes pre-installed
<1> office?
<5> the os
<5> lol
<5> and office comes with a free 30 day trial
<5> lol
<1> never seen it
<4> If you build your own computer, Windows isn't preinstalled.
<1> heh
<4> And I've never seen Windows have MS Office preinstalled.
<6> ur not a beginner if u build ur own pc
<6> eheh
<6> me eitheir ..
<4> DeAdO: Instruction manual? =]
<4> DeAdO: Or from a friend?
<6> hehe whut u mean?
<4> Well I would kinda prefer you to use "you" instead of "u"...
<6> is too much work to type out you.
<4> But what I mean is, your friend could have build a PC for you, or helped you build one, for example.
