| cntrational | Dr_Willis: you are smarterbot |
|---|
| ae86-drifter | ikonia, sure well on two occasions it failed for me and both occasions i had to clean install over again |
|---|
| vu1kan | vodll click buddies>join a chat and select Yahoo from the drop down list, either type the room name or click 'room list' |
|---|
| ikonia | ae86-drifter: ok - so you're personal experiences have not worked out, so please don't say "do a clean install" as the upgrade works for thousands of people |
|---|
| ae86-drifter | ubuntu upgrades it is not very robust in my opinion |
|---|
| slow-motion | bbl |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | ive found upgrades in most OS's to not be very robust. |
|---|
| vodll | vu1kan thanks:) one more, i created an irc account, now how do i paralell connect them? [i'm using xchat right now for irc] |
|---|
| ikonia | ae86-drifter: thousands of people would disagree, it can have problems if you are not %100 in line with requirements |
|---|
| ae86-drifter | should probably ==> "do a clean install"... thats not what i said ikonia |
|---|
| vu1kan | vodll not sure i understand what you mean |
|---|
| ae86-drifter | i am just sharing my experience to benefit others |
|---|
| ikonia | ae86-drifter: that's exactly what you said |
|---|
| bastid_raZor | vodll: ask in #freenode ..they have all the answers |
|---|
| vodll | vu1kan how do you connect to irc with pidgin? i created the irc account and then? |
|---|
| ikonia | ae86-drifter: no - you are not saying "I've had 2 failures" you're saying you'd be better off doing a clean install as fact, based on you having to experiences |
|---|
| ae86-drifter | i said probably |
|---|
| slacker- | ahh.. If a RAID partitioning scheme is used during installation the grub boot loader will only be installed on the first hard drive instead of all the drives. Booting the system if the first drive has failed will not work. As a workaround users can manually install grub to each disk in the array using the grub-install command |
|---|
| ikonia | ae86-drifter: probably doesn't make it any better |
|---|
| vu1kan | vodll...oh...same as the procedure for joining a yahoo room |
|---|
| ae86-drifter | in your eyes |
|---|
| slacker- | so they actually recommend installing it on both drives |
|---|
| ae86-drifter | ur a dick |

|---|
| inpxfx | its true |
|---|
| loopidity | I put a live ubuntu disk in the laptop, and it looked like it did load ubuntu, but half an hour gone and only black screen |
|---|
| Iraqi | How can install file .tar.zag without internet?? |
|---|
| ikonia | inpxfx: that topic is nothing to do with ubuntu - please drop it |
|---|
| vodll | vu1kan what do you input in username/password on an irc connection? [really silly question I know] |
|---|
| loopidity | never seen this happen with ubuntu |
|---|
| IdleOne | !ot | inpxfx |

|---|
| Pirate_Hunter | hey ikonia been a while, how you ding? |
|---|
| inpxfx | huh |
|---|
| ikonia | Pirate_Hunter: all good, I'm in #ubuntu-offtopic if you wanted to chat |
|---|
| vu1kan | vodll username would be your nick, and you can ignore the password unless you set one up with nickserve...either way nickserve will bug you about /identify |
|---|
| bastid_raZor | Iraqi: do what ikonia said to inpxfx |
|---|
| Dr_Willis | loopidity: whats your video card? |
|---|
| ikonia | bastid_raZor: ahh, well spotted, thank you |
|---|
| loopidity | Dr_Willis to be frank i dont yet know |
|---|
| inpxfx | if ubuntu is loading and never starts up off the live cd theres a good chance its corrupt / video card old / u need to do a cold boot |
|---|
| matt__ | ok ill start agin :S |
|---|
| loopidity | Dr_Willis I got this computer off an old lady who asked me PLEASE put ubuntu on it |
|---|
| jammin79 | hi all |
|---|
|
|
| inpxfx | that happend to me a few times with an old laptop |
|---|
| loopidity | and then I try to boot off the live cd... |
|---|
| bastid_raZor | ikonia: its the simple things in life :) |
|---|
| matt__ | think i jus caught someone suggesting clean install rather than upgrade |
|---|
| loopidity | its an old laptop though, looks like german laptop |
|---|
| ae86-drifter | ikonia, do you think the upgrade is fairly robust? what could possibly cause it to go wrong? I am sick of every time a new release comes out it fails for me, and i need to clean install again. |
|---|
| IdleOne | loopidity: lspci | grep VGA |
|---|
| jammin79 | I don't have apt installed in my ubuntu server |
|---|
| bastid_raZor | jammin79: doesn't sound like its an ubuntu server then. |
|---|
| loopidity | IdleOne There is no way I get ubuntu boot up(or atleast see) and I can only log into xp |
|---|
| jammin79 | yea cause I crap guy did remove it |
|---|
| loopidity | its all dark |
|---|
| vodll | vu1kan hm weird...must be doing something wrong since nothing happens once I click save and I don't get an option to join anything |
|---|
| inpxfx | ubuntu without internet access = soda coaster |
|---|
| matt__ | so im about to upgrade from 8.04 server to 10.04 |
|---|
| loopidity | ctrl alt F1 wouldnt work also |
|---|
| jammin79 | I am just on the machine and it's quite crazy this |
|---|
| Iraqi | Please? |
|---|
| Iraqi | Install file .tar.gz downloaded before like wammu 0.3 without internet? |
|---|
| IdleOne | loopidity: ahh well you can check in Hardware configuration of XP. ##windows for more help with that |
|---|
| ikonia | Iraqi: untar the file and read the README and INSTALL files |
|---|
| inpxfx | imjust here for the females |
|---|
| jammin79 | bastid_raZor: is there a way to get the apt back? |
|---|
| ikonia | inpxfx: stop with that sort of topic -you won't be told again |
|---|
| loopidity | ok, Idleone let me boot up xp, it takes ages..... |
|---|
| IdleOne | Please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines inpxfx |
|---|
| Pirate_Hunter | ikonia, im currently multi-tasking but will be popping here often I rarely go to offtopic |
|---|
| inpxfx | sure apt-get install apt-get |
|---|
| matt__ | and it says i MAY have to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the default boot kernel to the newly installed 10.04 kernel. |
|---|
| Gwar | inpxfx, I think there is a problem with that line |
|---|
| jammin79 | inpxfx: ..... no such file or directory |
|---|
| abhi_nav | just for all your info i found this regarding docs: http://linuxowns.wordpress.com/2008/05/08/the-best-and-worst-docks-for-ubuntu/ |

| Adola | Hi! Is there a way to see how much bandwith each application is using? |
|---|
| Adola | network bandwith. |
|---|
| ikonia | Adola: look at ntop maybe |
|---|
| cntrational | how long does it take for rsync to copy files |
|---|
| loopidity | against which file should the md5sum be done? iso? |
|---|
| ikonia | cntrational: depends on a lot of things, impossible to say |
|---|
| Iraqi | ikonia: is says: bluesniff-0.1.tar.gz: POSIX tar archive |
|---|
| ikonia | Iraqi: tar xvf bluesniff-0.1.tar.gz |

| Dr_Willis | this is when i normally suggest the 'unp' command. :) |

|---|
| Iraqi | ikonia: Is done.. Then? |
|---|
| ikonia | Iraqi: go into the directory and read the README and INSTALL files |

| aurilliance | anyone have any suggestions? |
|---|
| ikonia | cntrational: as I've just said, depends on a lot of things, impossible to say |
|---|
