<0> I'm an an install-fest, we have a laptop that we're trying to install Ubuntu on, but after install, no bootable devices are detected on the hard drive, we are not even getting as far as GRUB. We have no clue! Any ideas?
<1> neither, im trying the newest drivers from acer
<2> hey, i wasn wdonering, where is the guide on enabling multiverses
<3> can anyone think of a reason im getting this error?
<3> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,
<4> This time I am playing with ircssi.
<3> missing codepage or other error
<3> In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
<3> dmesg | tail or so
<5> hey i need some help
<5> I'm trying to use LiveCD
<5> except I dunno how to boot from cd in windows xp
<6> grout58, sudo cfdisk /dev/hdb
<7> chombee: LBA enabled in bios?
<5> i can do it in windows 98
<3> i did
<0> Frogzoo - LBA?
<8> me needs help - saw some tricky things with Ubuntu desktops changing like a rotating cube. Where to get it?
<5> but not in windows XP
<6> grout58, pm me again
<1> this is for my laptop, if i cant get this working is there any pcmcia wlan card someone could recommend?
<5> can someone help me..
<6> anarchy_, orinoco
<7> chombee: in the bios's disk detection - disk mode should be set to LBA
<1> thanks, ill look that up
<5> anyone...
<6> anarchy_, might want to look around linuxcompatible they list them.
<5> I cant get the LiveCD to work
<5> oh come on dont ignore me
<6> anarchy_, also if you use the drivers from ndiswrappers site instead of the cd it will probably work.
<8> me needs help - saw some tricky things with Ubuntu desktops changing like a rotating cube. Where to get it?
<9> Goldfisch: You are having mythtv in AMD64 system right ?
<5> how do u get the live cd to work
<10> fich, dapper
<6> anarchy_, and if you follow their directions step by step
<3> did u get my pm?
<6> grout58, no
<8> snowblink: what?
<4> gopi: Yup. https://scifi.homelinux.net/mediawiki , and then navigate to MythTV for pictures, etc.
<0> Frogzoo - we don't think that's the problem.
<9> Goldfisch: I was not able to install it in my AMD64 system :(
<1> chuckyp, ok i will try that, thanks a lot :)
<2> is there a good reason not to use kubuntu?
<9> Goldfisch: I tried a lot but in vain :( Can u help me installing it ?
<2> over ubuntu that is.
<11> balu: Some prefer Gnome to KDE
<7> chombee: but the install itself ran fine to completion? including the install of grub?
<5> anyone
<0> We installed Ubuntu dual-boot, apparently successfully, but on restart we do not get GRUB
<4> gopi: That's no fun. How far did you get?
<0> Frogzoo - yes, it appeared to go fine
<12> What does "... enable synaptics touchpad support when configuring the kernel (CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2)" mean, and how do I do it?
<5> how do u use the livecd
<13> balu> no, cause Ubuntu and Kubuntu are the same damn thing ><
<6> chombee, whats the other os?
<2> poppey, I c so the differences are simply cosmetic right?
<6> grout58, did you get my pm?
<0> Frogzoo - it is as if GRUB did not get written to the boot sector properyl, even though it thought it did
<0> chuckyp - WinXP
<14> If you have XP on your main partition, does unbuntu give you a choice as to where it installs grub?
<10> Siddhartha211, put the CD in your drive. Reboot.
<5> i did
<2> i think im a bigger fan of the KDE..
<15> isthere a ibm thinkpad lappy person in here?
<14> like.. NOT the MBR
<6> chombee, as long as grub writes to mbr on /dev/hda1 you should be good to go.
<5> it just boots windows XP
<2> but i dopnt want to uinstall my ubuntu again -_-
<6> Siddhartha211, you need to set yoru bios to boot from cd
<16> balu: do you mean the differences between Gnome and KDE? then no, they're far from being simply cosmetic
<5> chukyp, how do i do that
<9> Goldfisch: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9483
<10> Siddhartha211, you need to set your bios to boot off the CD then
<13> balu> no worry, you can install KDE on an ubuntu installation
<7> !tell chombee about grub
<5> snowblink, how do i do that
<2> hymntolife: cool im glad
<7> chombee: check the grub troubleshooting section mebbe...easiest if you have a live cd about though
<3> u get my msg cuckyp?
<2> LjL; what are the differences? major ones that would matter to the avg linux user
<10> Siddhartha211, on boot you should be given the option to change your bios settings
<5> snowblink, how do i do that...and once i do that how do i change it back
<5> okay
<5> u mean like the F2 button
<7> chombee: what happens after power on?
<5> for system settings
<10> Siddhartha211, it varies from system to system
<6> Siddhartha211, yeah system settings
<5> okay, i'm not sure if thats what you mean...anyone here use livecd with windows XP on a dell
<9> Goldfisch: saw that page ?
<5> okay
<0> Frogzoo - laptop starts up as normal, says no bootable CD detected, then said no bootable hard drive... stops there. Nothin. We can boot LiveCD's and Install CD's but not from the HD
<5> thanks
<4> gopi: That appears to be mythtv version 0.17. They just release 0.19. I wonder if there is even an amd64 build from back then.
<5> illl be back and see if it works
<6> Siddhartha211, then you go in and change the boot sequence to try the cdrom first before the hd.
<0> Frogzoo - where is this trouble shooting page?
<4> gopi: I use SVN now instead of the package releases, because I was needing their latest-and-greatest HD patches. Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file?
<7> chombee: check pm from ubotu
<9> Goldfisch: ok
<0> Frogzoo - ah yes
<6> chombee, if you need to fix the windows boot you can boot to xp cd in recovery mode then fixmbr
<6> chombee, but you need to install grub to mbr on /dev/hda1 during install for dual boot to work.
<0> chuckyp - we don't have an XP cd
<2> hey how can i get my "wireless connection" to show up in my systems tray in ubuntu?
<16> balu: i can't really name "major" visible differences. to the "average user", they'll look quite similar - note, i said *look* quite similar, which means that the actual differences are *not* cosmetic, but deeper than that, so the actual user won't see them at a first glance
<3> check ur pm
<2> LjL: cool thanks, ill look into it
<12> How can I tell if I have XFree86 installed?
<17> #flood"
<0> Frogzoo - we are not getting as far as GRUB, it's not a GRUB error but a pre-GRUB error
<17> **** you all
<17> hi
<17> ou
<6> NegativeSpace, what version of ubuntu are you using?
<6> !ops
<18> Help! lilo, fabbione, lamont, Keybuk, jdub, mdz, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob or Hobbsee
<9> Goldfisch: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10003
<17> stronzi
<17> coglioni
<3> chuckp u get my pm?
<17> bastardi
<0> chuckyp - yes, we have GRUB on hda1
<17> #flood"
<12> chuckyp I guess the latest -- I only installed it yesterday.
<0> chuckyp - or we should, that's where we installed it
<19> micle: Stop or you'll be banned.
<16> balu: but there are also a ton of visible, not-really-major-but-stil-there differences that are *not* cosmetic. KDE for example is mostly based on "parts", a system of embedding objects/programs into other programs. so in KDE you'll mostly, say, open a PDF inside an existing program (e.g. your file browser) rather than in a separate application
<20> Hmm grub whould be on the mbr of hda, not hda1
<17> E' supercalifragilistichespiralidoso
<17> anche se ti sembra che abbia un suono spaventoso
<17> se lo dici forte avrai un successo strepitoso
<17> supercalifragilistichespiralidoso
<17> E Ambelele ambelela
<17> e ambeleleambelela
<21> ljl: thats cool ill read up on them
<15> so is there anyone who is a thinkpad guru in here
<21> anyway i can get my wirlessnetwork connection to show up in my systems tray? (kinda like the ethernet conection)
<20> Balu1, i think gnome an dkde both have applets that do that.
<9> Goldfisch: Are u looking it ?
<6> NegativeSpace, then you have xorg
<4> gopi: Okay. Took me a second to click in my head. My AMD64 is debian, not ubuntu. I haven't used ubuntu's binary releases of MythTV ever.
<21> dr_willis: its through an applet?? so it doesnt come w/ the OS?
<16> Balu1: anyway, let me put this under another point of view: what are the major average-user-visible differences between the Gnome *or* KDE desktop and the Windows desktop? i'm not sure i could name so many off hand
<12> chuckyp Is the configuration file for it, "xorg.conf" ?
<16> Balu1: and yet i'd hardly call them cosmetical either
<22> is there anybody who know something about ndiswrapper for Ubuntu 64 compatibility?
