| [00:56] <holo> TheSheep: Yes, of couse, i can verify the checksum. Are you still there? | |
| [01:28] <Dirty> what livily room | |
| [01:32] <holo> heh | |
| [01:32] <holo> anyway.. I don't need to verify the checksum | |
| [01:32] <holo> I know its corrupt | |
| [01:32] <holo> I wget -c the iso, it was interrupted in the middle, and then resumed manually | |
| [01:33] <holo> sometimes, don't know why, I get corrupted content | |
| [01:33] <holo> guess I wasn't lucky this time | |
| [01:33] <holo> ok, I will check it, or I won't sleep well | |
| [01:38] <holo> 8a6e05a36ff5098ece6e3d28ad3b279a xubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso | |
| [01:38] <holo> strange, it matches the md5 checksum in the site | |
| [01:38] <holo> this one: 8a6e05a36ff5098ece6e3d28ad3b279a *xubuntu-7.10-alternate-i386.iso | |
| [01:39] <holo> There is a very small probability that this corruption didn't get noticed my the md5 checksum algorithm | |
| [01:39] <holo> i'm out of clues to my problem | |
| [01:40] <holo> anyone knows a very fast server from which I cand download this again? | |
| [01:41] <zoredache> holo: if you have a fast internet connection, then you could download the mini.iso and isntall from the internet | |
| [01:41] <zoredache> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | |
| [01:42] <holo> zoredache: my internet connection fluctuates between extremely fast and extremly slow with great packet loss. But anyway, does that one have already X pre-installed? | |
| [01:42] <zoredache> holo: the mini.iso is an 8mb image that comes with absolutly nothing, but you can install anything you want from it | |
| [01:45] <holo> I used alot of netinstalls from minimal cd back in debian times.. i also had alot of spare time at that time for configuring things manually. anyway, the cluttered cds also didn't have X pre-configured, so everything ended up being the same. | |
| [01:45] <holo> in this situation i have to balance the time of getting this configured correctly or just download a fully/integrated environment out-of-the-bok | |
| [01:46] <holo> and this is going to be ran in a bochs layer, so it will be not only slow because i have to configure it manually, but the whole system is slow | |
| [01:46] <holo> :s | |
| [01:48] <zoredache> why bochs? why not one of the other faster vm technologies? | |
| [01:48] <holo> zoredache: give me an option. | |
| [01:49] <zoredache> vmware? | |
| [01:49] <zoredache> parallels | |
| [01:50] <zoredache> xen, .... what is your guest os? | |
| [01:51] <holo> zoredache: vmware: I have to create the vmware image which can only be created in vmawre workstation, which is not free. I have to create account, download it manually and I can only use it for a limited period of time right? I will make serious work in these vms for a long period of time | |
| [01:51] <holo> parallels, i have to check that one | |
| [01:52] <holo> zoredache: are you referring to this?: http://www.parallels.com/ | |
| [01:52] <holo> this is mac software it seems. | |
| [01:52] <zoredache> holo: there are free versions of vmware... (vmware player, and vmware server) I have been using vmware server on my workstation for a couple years | |
| [01:53] <holo> zoredache: do any of those versions provide facility for creating vmware image? | |
| [01:53] <zoredache> vmware server does | |
| [01:53] <holo> zoredache: super! | |
| [01:53] <zoredache> with vmware player, you can download a blank vm off the interweb then use that too | |
| [01:54] <zoredache> so for vmware player, use http://www.easyvmx.com/ to create a blank vm | |
| [01:54] <holo> zoredache: can I install an OS in a blank image with vmware player? | |
| [01:54] <zoredache> yes | |
| [01:54] <holo> ok zoredache, you bring me good news | |
| [01:55] <zoredache> it isn't quite as easy but it can be done | |
| [01:55] <zoredache> of course xen, virtualbox, or uml, are also options | |
| [01:55] <zoredache> I am most familiar with vmware though... I have been using it since 1999 | |
| [01:56] <zoredache> for the other vm options check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_virtual_machines | |
| [01:57] <holo> zoredache: I know vmware is good.. i will stick to it | |
| [01:57] <holo> a state of the art tool | |
| [01:58] <holo> now back to work! | |
| [01:58] <holo> thank you very much zoredache, you saved me alot of time | |
| [02:14] * TD-Linux sees no point in vmware player | |
| [02:14] <TD-Linux> vmware server works just as good :D | |
| [02:17] <holo> /usr/bin/vmplayer: 166: cannot open /etc/vmware/locations: No such file | |
| [02:17] <holo> now this is a good start | |
| [02:18] <holo> I see no ending in my hacking into others mistakes life | |
| [02:19] <Technoid_India> hi every one... | |
| [02:20] <zoredache> hi | |
| [02:20] <Technoid_India> can i know whats the minimum configration to install xubuntu ??? | |
| [02:20] <Technoid_India> zoredache: Hi | |
| [02:40] <holo> Technoid_India: I don't know, because I didn't check in in the page. Did you check it? anyway, tell me which CPU and memory and maybe I can see if you can | |
| [02:41] <Technoid_India> holo: i am goin to install ubuntu my old pc >> P4 - 128MB RAM - 40GB Harddrive... | |
| [02:42] <zoredache> 128 is on the slim side, but it may run. You'll probably need to use the alternate-installer | |
| [02:45] <Technoid_India> zoredache: yes..bro..i will be using alternate installer... | |
| [02:46] <Technoid_India> so how is xubuntu different frm ubuntu ??? | |
| [02:46] <Technoid_India> n what file system should i use ??? | |
| [02:46] <holo> Technoid_India: yes, because livecd takes too much ram, go for alternate install.. xfce is pretty light.. also consider a 2.4 kernel.. it consumes less ram | |
| [02:47] <Technoid_India> ext3 ??? | |
| [02:47] <holo> Technoid_India: ext3 is the slowest filesystem, go for reiserfs | |
| [02:47] <holo> of course, just my humble opinion | |
| [02:47] <Technoid_India> holo: so will it run smoothly on my pc....??? | |
| [02:48] <holo> Technoid_India: I own a amd 64 dual core or something xpto.. sometimes i think it doesn't run smoothly.. do you expect me to say that from those specs? | |
| [02:48] <Technoid_India> n does it supports all ubuntu packeges??? | |
| [02:48] <holo> ^^ | |
| [02:49] <holo> Technoid_India: yes, the repositories are the same | |
| [02:49] <Technoid_India> holo: i have a high end rig to bro.... | |
| [02:49] <Technoid_India> but im just tryin my luck on this old crap pc... | |
| [02:50] <holo> its may not be crap pc.. it wasn't some years ago.. the pc is still the same, but maybe more used | |
| [02:50] <holo> but still the same, so it should do what what it did some years ago | |
| [02:50] <Technoid_India> can i use all the application (packages) that i used to run on ubuntu ??? | |
| [02:51] <holo> Technoid_India: yes you can. but don't run kde on it | |
| [02:51] <holo> or gnome | |
| [02:51] <holo> it would sound stupid :) | |
| [02:51] <Technoid_India> kde - gnome apps ??? | |
| [02:51] <holo> yes you can | |
| [02:52] <Technoid_India> holo: so i can do all my studio work on xubuntu... | |
| [02:52] <holo> dunno, but I supose you run every app you ran in ubuntu | |
| [02:52] <holo> except maybe for configuration tools of gnome | |
| [02:52] <Technoid_India> audio/video >> recording n editing stuff ??? | |
| [02:53] <holo> Technoid_India: take it easy.. you should now more about your work than me | |
| [02:53] <Technoid_India> then i will be sticking to xubuntu for this old pc.... | |
| [02:54] <Technoid_India> holo: thanx brother...for ur help.. | |
| [02:54] <holo> xubuntu is mainly a window manager alternative, window managers manage windows, that' all.. don't give so much importance to it | |
| [02:54] <Technoid_India> why soo... | |
| [02:55] <Technoid_India> that mens that i should stick to ubuntu... | |
| [02:55] <holo> because its a window manager! its not about the applications you ran before | |
| [02:55] <holo> the main important thing is that if you ran linux applications, they will still run in xubuntu, because xubuntu is a linux distribution | |
| [02:55] <Technoid_India> this #channel isnt crowded enough !!! | |
| [02:56] <holo> Technoid_India: depends on requirements, gnome is much more than a window manager (someone correct me if i'm wrong) and pretty damm heavy | |
| [02:56] <holo> so with that machine i wouldn't run gnome, or better said, ubuntu version desktop | |
| [03:00] <Technoid_India> holo: yes bro..gnome is damn Heavy...i tried to run ubuntu dextop installer on some new machines wid 256mb.... but it would take 15-25minutes to load the desktop itself.... | |
| [03:01] <holo> just the destkop? strange.. not even livecds take so much time | |
| [03:01] <holo> anyway, yes, gnome is heavy, kde is heavy, xfce is not | |
| [03:02] <holo> but don't expect to have the same level of integrated features in xfce | |
| [03:02] <holo> everything comes with a but | |
| [03:02] <Technoid_India> holo: but.... what ??? | |
| [03:03] <holo> kde for example has lots of features that make him being used by power users.. you can tweak anything | |
| [03:04] <holo> with very user friendly interfaces | |
| [03:04] <eldalion> is there a reason why xubuntu doesn't push for latest kernels like (k)ubuntu? | |
| [03:04] <holo> gnome is know by its usability, and is also very powerfull | |
| [03:05] <holo> xfce is very modular and light.. don't expect to have your life so easy if you want to tweak alot of things | |
| [03:06] <holo> eldalion: i don't have any experience in xubuntu, but I can say that if the repos are the same, you can pull whatever kernel kubuntu users pull | |
| [03:07] <eldalion> that's what i did, upgraded to 2.6.24, just wondered why it didn't come automatically | |
| [03:08] <holo> Technoid_India: by releaning a xfce only distribution of ubuntu, users can have a even more pleasant desktop experience because of all the work that is put by developers in configuring and integrating the various tools of this fine window manager | |
| [03:09] <holo> *releasing | |
| [03:09] <TD-Linux> ubuntu 7.10 doesn't have 2.6.24 | |
| [03:09] <eldalion> TD-Linux: yes, confused with the alpha | |
| [03:38] <j1mc> an ok article talking about suggestions for Xfce here: http://beranger.org/index.php?page=diary&2008/02/18/13/05/37-what-is-xfce-still-needing-to-be | |
| [03:38] <j1mc> thing that's different about xfce is that it's only about 5 or 6 core guys who work on it in their spare time. | |
| [03:39] <j1mc> it's not like gnome which has the backing of corporations and stuff. | |
| [03:51] <holo> TheSheep: when you are here read this: I loaded the same xubuntu image with vmware, and it works.. looks like it was bochs fault somehow.. amazing! | |
| [05:00] <cag> Hey, quick question | |
| [05:00] <cag> Is there command that could reset my xfce settings? | |
| [05:00] <cag> Because I can see the neither the top or bottom taskbar | |
| [05:07] <cag> thanks for none of your help | |
| [05:38] <Alex_001> hey guys!, just want to ask if samba is installed as the same as ubuntu 7.10? | |
| [05:38] <Alex_001> by default I mean | |
| [05:39] <zoredache> no it isn't installed by default | |
| [05:40] <zoredache> but installing it is pretty easy | |
| [05:40] <Alex_001> i see | |
| [05:40] <zoredache> are you looking to setup a server, or just client stuff? | |
| [05:41] <zoredache> anyway to get everything do the following in a terminal -- sudo apt-get install samba smbfs smbclient fusesmb' | |
| [05:41] <Alex_001> 'cause I'm planning to migrate to xubuntu from a zenwalk linux cause I couldn't get samba working there on my laptop and I couldn't browse my windows network | |
| [05:42] <zoredache> you understand that xfce has no integrated network browser? | |
| [05:42] <Alex_001> just want to browse my windows network so I coould transfer files back and forth | |
| [05:43] <zoredache> you can user you network, but you cannot browse it with xfce | |
| [05:43] <Alex_001> what to install then after I install samba some sort of network browser? | |
| [05:44] <Alex_001> my laptop is an old p3 750Mhz and I couldn't get ubuntu boot from there it just froze | |
| [05:44] <zoredache> if you are looking just to browse you don't need samba, that is a server. There are several howtos that descibe setting up afuse and fusesmb | |
| [05:45] <zoredache> for example... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=304131 | |
| [05:46] <Alex_001> does that same applies to zenwalk 5? | |
| [05:48] <zoredache> well I suspect there are similar things you could do on zenwalk, I doubt the steps are exacltly the same... I have never used it so I can't really answer that | |
| [05:49] <Alex_001> i see | |
| [05:49] <Alex_001> thanks for the info | |
| [10:36] <jared_> Hey, is XFCE 4.2 faster or slower than XFCE 4.4? | |
| [10:36] <TheSheep> jared_: faster to do what? | |
| [10:39] <jared_> erm, use? | |
| [10:39] <jared_> internet pretty much | |
| [10:39] <jared_> coz im using a slow machine atm | |
| [10:40] <jared_> and I got a lot faster going from GNOME to XFCE 4.2 | |
| [10:41] <TheSheep> jared_: I'm afraid you cannot browse www with xfce, you usually use firefox or some other browser for that | |
| [10:43] <jared_> -.- | |
| [10:43] <jared_> using the internet on XFCE is a lot faster than on GNOME | |
| [10:43] <jared_> what I asked is if it would be faster to go to 4.4, or stay on 4.2 | |
| [10:45] <TheSheep> I can assure you that xfce doesn't affect your internet speed | |
| [10:45] <TheSheep> so it should be the same for both of them | |
| [10:45] <jared_> ergh | |
| [10:46] <jared_> im not an idiot | |
| [10:46] <jared_> I've done a CISCO course on networking and fundamental computing | |
| [10:47] <jared_> and I know that my computer is a hell of a lot faster with XFCE than it was with GNOME, including internet usage | |
| [10:47] <jared_> so I asked a simple question | |
| [10:47] <jared_> is XFCE 4.4 faster or slower than 4.4? | |
| [10:48] <jared_> *faster or slower than 4.2? | |
| [10:48] <TheSheep> jared_: I'm sorry but I'm too stupid to understand your simple question. Maybe there is someone else here who would know. Sorry for introducing confusion. | |
| [10:49] <jared_> ur a dick | |
| [10:49] <DarthShrine> Lol. | |
| [10:49] <TheSheep> :( | |
| [10:50] <DarthShrine> Not quite sure where the relationship between xfce/gnome and internet speed is.. | |
| [10:51] <TheSheep> memory use probably | |
| [10:51] <TheSheep> and caching | |
| [10:52] <DarthShrine> Mmm | |
| [10:52] <DarthShrine> I still don't buy it xD | |
| [10:53] <TheSheep> "speed" is a very simple and obvious term that has no sense in computers :) | |
| [10:54] <DarthShrine> ;) | |

| [12:44] <mino> hi :) how can i hide drive icons from my desktop? | |
| [12:46] <mino> no one a idea?? | |
| [12:49] <TheSheep> mino: settings->desktop settings->behavior | |
| [12:49] <TheSheep> mino: the "show icons for" section | |
| [12:52] <mino> TheSheep: but my created icons also get hidden... i only want to hide this auto generated | |
| [12:53] <TheSheep> mino: use the checkboxes below | |
| [12:53] <mino> if i use them its get ignored.. i can set only removable devices but i doesnt make any difference | |
| [12:54] <mino> TheSheep: must i restart restart xfce or somehting? | |
| [12:54] <TheSheep> mino: disable and enable the 'let xfce manage my desktop' at the top | |
| [12:54] <TheSheep> mino: this is an annoying bug | |
| [12:57] <mino> yeah really anoying also you must check the /trash box and disable and enable the upper box, then uncheck /trash and the trash link is gone | |
| [12:59] <TheSheep> mino: it's going to be completely rewritten for xfce 4.6 though :) | |

| [15:15] <Technoid_India> are the command same...as v use in ubuntu (apt get, sudo apt get).... | |
| [15:16] <TheSheep> yes | |

| [15:16] <Technoid_India> so whats the difference between ubuntu n xubuntu...??? window manager?? | |
| [15:17] <Technoid_India> TheSheep: n i can use all the software i used on my ubuntu workstation !!! | |
| [15:17] <TheSheep> the window manager, the panels, file manager, etc., the default set of applications and the default settings | |
| [15:17] <TheSheep> yes, you can even install ubuntu, xubuntu and kubuntu all at once and switch between them at the login screen | |

| [18:04] <holo> hello maxamillion | |
| [18:06] <holo> is there any forcing method to go to main menu? | |
| [18:07] <holo> if not, this seems a installer missing option | |

| [18:15] <holo> i'm at prompt for first cd | |
| [18:15] <holo> he is stupid suddenly he doesn't know he loaded himself | |
| [18:15] <holo> the problem is i'm running this in vm | |
| [18:15] <holo> so it brings me some problems | |
| [18:16] <TheSheep> holo: did you have problems with the language menu previously? | |
| [18:16] <holo> TheSheep: those problems didn't happen anymore since i changed from bochs -> vmware | |
| [18:16] <TheSheep> holo: it would be probably still nice to report them | |
| [18:16] <holo> I'm still installing though.. but at a higher step | |
| [18:16] <holo> TheSheep: the problem is that I don't know where | |
| [18:17] <holo> where does this bug belong? | |
| [18:17] <TheSheep> !bugs | holo | |

| [18:17] <holo> I alreaady informed #bochs about this | |
| [18:17] <holo> ok | |
| [18:17] <TheSheep> holo: fill it against the installer or the xubuntu as a whole | |
| [18:17] <holo> yes | |
| [18:17] <TheSheep> holo: probably better fro the installer | |
| [18:20] <holo> i'm also having now random hangs inside vmware | |
| [18:20] <holo> so i made replication and survival of the fitest, to gurantee it goes to the end | |
| [18:21] <holo> like 6 vms working at the same time with 64MB each | |
| [18:21] <TheSheep> %) | |
| [18:22] <holo> i had no other choice.. it just hangs, and always at different places | |
| [18:22] <TheSheep> later you can pit them against each other in dos attacks ;) | |
| [18:22] <holo> but it seems that since i made the replication, it doesn't hang anymore.. but i'm sticking to the model | |
| [18:22] <holo> anyway, this seems evil influence, i don't find other reason | |
| [18:23] <TheSheep> maybe your iso was cursed? | |
| [18:23] <holo> TheSheep: the ones that get further survive, others just die (removed) | |
| [18:24] <holo> TheSheep: maybe not cursed, but maybe my negative thought about being successfull in this task, bring bad events | |
| [18:25] <holo> even the impossible events can, will and already happened. my influence will make them probable of happening to me | |
| [18:26] <holo> the impossible events will hide themselves behind the laws we established for the universe, so we will never see them unless we adequate the laws | |

| [18:32] <zoredache> holo: have you considered that maybe your hardware is failing? If you are getting hang ups and weird behavior as frequently as you are describing then I would suggest you run memory test followed by a hard disk diagnostic | |
| [18:35] <holo> ok | |
| [18:35] <TheSheep> holo: you can switch to a shell with alt+f2 | |
| [18:36] <holo> can I dot memtest on boot and hd diagnostic with mounted partitions? | |
| [18:36] <holo> *memtest after boot | |
| [18:36] <holo> TheSheep: ehm.. I have X terminals | |

| [19:40] <holo> i'm now in xubuntu login | |
| [19:40] <holo> very nice sensation after this battle | |
| [19:48] <march> hi | |
| [19:48] <holo> hi | |
| [19:49] <isul> does google earth run on xubuntu? | |
| [19:49] <march> yes | |
| [19:51] <march> isul: http://www.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwiki.ubuntuusers.de%2FGoogle_Earth&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en&ie=ASCII | |
| [19:52] <isul> thanks | |
| [19:53] <march> You're welcome! | |
| [20:13] <isul> oh wow | |
| [20:13] <march> Already installed google earth? | |
| [20:13] <isul> yeah | |
| [20:13] <isul> I installed it, but when I ran it for the first time it logged me off | |
| [20:14] <isul> that was wierd | |
| [20:14] <march> that's odd :/ | |
| [20:14] <isul> looked like it was going to work. the splash screen came up, but then I was back at xubuntu login | |
| [20:18] <march> 3D-acceleration is working? | |
| [20:18] <isul> yeah I was just thinking that. maybe integrated SiS video chip doesn't meet opengl requirements for google earth? | |
| [20:18] <isul> heh | |
| [20:21] <isul> that doesn't seem right either though, because the opposite is true on windows. opengl will work with this gpu while directx doesn't | |
| [20:21] <march> Have you Compiz activated? | |
| [20:22] <isul> umm, I dunno | |
| [20:24] <march> disable it if it's activated | |
| [20:24] <march> This may help | |

| [20:50] <holo> I can say that desktop xubuntu is a much more pleasant experience than kubuntu | |
| [20:50] <holo> in kubuntu I always have a colesterol feeling | |
| [20:51] <isul> like when you have eaten too many french fries? | |
| [20:55] <holo> yes | |
| [20:55] <holo> and a hamburger full of that white sauce | |
| [20:55] <holo> I think my mood can be improved in xubuntu | |
| [21:02] <holo> when I am mounting samba shares with pyneihborhood, it fails to mount | |
| [21:02] <holo> what can be happening here? | |
| [21:02] <holo> it sees the shares, but then it doesn't mount them | |

| [21:32] <penney> Hi all: I'm getting crackly audio in my xfce based Ubuntu. It seems to only happen with videos, but I've basically uninstalled all my questionable codecs and only have gstreamer stuff left... I think it may be an alsa/oss issue I'm sort of a n00b when it comes to this. Does anyone have any suggestions? | |
| [21:33] <slow-motion> n8 | |
| [22:07] <encrypt128bit_> anyone know if compiz fusion works with XFCE? | |
| [22:07] <eldalion> yes it does | |
| [22:07] <encrypt128bit_> is there any special insall ways or can i install it just like unbuntu? | |
| [22:08] <eldalion> same as ubuntu | |
| [22:08] <encrypt128bit_> Thanks | |

| [22:20] <encrypt128bit> So im trying to install xubuntu, its failing to install the kernel and on tty4 im reading this: (apt-install: Failed to fetch cdrom:[Xubuntu 7.10 _Gutsy Gibbion_ - Release i386 (20071016)]/pool/l/linux-source-2.6.22/linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic_2.6.22-14.46_i386.deb Hash Sum mismatch <-- that mean my cd is probably corrupt? =p | |
| [22:36] <ron_o> encrypt128bit, it looks like it. | |
| [22:37] <ron_o> the thing is there might not be a real way of testing it to know for sure. I just d/l another one or reburn it if it md5s correctly. | |
| [22:38] <encrypt128bit> the md5 was fine on the iso | |
| [22:38] <ron_o> I thought that ubuntu has a way of checking the cd for defects, but I guess you at least have to boot some in order to get to that point. :/ | |
| [22:38] <encrypt128bit> and i checked the cd though the ubuntu check, and it said it was fine too | |
| [22:38] <encrypt128bit> =\ | |
| [22:38] <TheSheep> encrypt128bit: there is an optin at boot to check the cd for defects | |
| [22:38] <encrypt128bit> yea i did that | |
| [22:38] <encrypt128bit> it didnt find any defects | |
| [22:38] <ron_o> hmm, just repeat everything again before worrying too much. | |
| [22:38] <TheSheep> then it should be fine | |
| [22:39] <TheSheep> maybe the cd drive had a hiccup? | |
| [22:40] <ron_o> there are just so many possible scenarios to know for sure why it failed. My old computer wouldn't fricking read some CDs even though once I had an OS installed it worked fine. | |
| [22:40] <ron_o> never figured that one out. | |
| [22:42] <encrypt128bit> see this all goes back to my original problem, heh. what do you think this means? | |
| [22:42] <encrypt128bit> http://s12.photobucket.com/albums/a238/jfiorini/linux%20install/?action=view¤t=100_1010.jpg | |
| [22:42] <encrypt128bit> thats a photo of my screen with the error message its giving me | |
| [22:43] <encrypt128bit> well, its pretty much the same as what the cd gives me, that was actually when i was using unetbootin to install ubuntu | |
| [22:43] <encrypt128bit> but i get this error every time i install no matter what i install from | |
| [23:06] <ron_o> are you doing a network install? | |
| [23:08] <ron_o> encrypt128bit, | |
| [23:08] <encrypt128bit> No | |
| [23:08] <encrypt128bit> on that screen shot i was using unetbootin | |
| [23:09] <encrypt128bit> so i was installing from the internet i guess | |
| [23:09] <ron_o> UNetbootin is a simple open source tool that allows you to install a variety of distributions over the Internet, without burning a CD. | |
| [23:09] <ron_o> yah, network install as it's said. | |
| [23:10] <ron_o> I don't know why it's failing. But you should just try the normal CD install. Reburn it if you have to, Burn it DAO, at the slowest speed possible. | |
| [23:11] <ron_o> always burn ISOs Dics at once, or DAO. | |
| [23:13] <encrypt128bit> yea | |
| [23:13] <encrypt128bit> i always do. | |
| [23:14] <encrypt128bit> for some reason it just isnt working... want me to show you what its doing right now with my cd? | |
| [23:14] <ron_o> sure. | |
| [23:20] <encrypt128bit> ron_o uploading a photo, link in a second | |
| [23:21] <encrypt128bit> ron_o: http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a238/jfiorini/linux%20install/100_1349.jpg | |
| [23:21] <encrypt128bit> thats installing from the cd right now | |
| [23:22] <ron_o> it's an md5sum mismatch. Don't know what to tell you besides my advice already given. | |
| [23:22] <ron_o> that sux when that happens. | |
| [23:23] <encrypt128bit> yea, i know... but the cd checker from this cd doesnt detect any faults | |
| [23:23] <ron_o> maybe try another *ubuntu version and see if anything changes. | |
| [23:23] <encrypt128bit> and the md5 checks out on the iso | |
| [23:23] <encrypt128bit> ive tried ubuntu and kubuntu same thing happens every time. | |
| [23:23] <encrypt128bit> and ive used two different cd burners. *sigh* | |
| [23:23] <ron_o> sorry about that. I've been there too. It's totally frustrating. :/ | |
| [23:24] <ron_o> damn. | |
| [23:24] <encrypt128bit> yea, totally. | |
| [23:24] <encrypt128bit> if i could buy a hard drive with xubuntu already on it, i totoally would. | |
| [23:24] <encrypt128bit> heh | |
| [23:24] <ron_o> you like xubuntu that much? | |
| [23:25] <ron_o> xfce is great. | |
| [23:25] <encrypt128bit> I just heard ubuntu was a good build, i saw xfce on a friends computer i like it | |
| [23:26] <encrypt128bit> you know ive even tried installing fedora 8, and it doesnt work. | |
| [23:26] <ron_o> for just an OS that does about anything you want, with a lot of help. *Ubuntu is for you. | |
| [23:26] <encrypt128bit> I just think linux hates this machine | |
| [23:26] <ron_o> it could be your hardware. | |
| [23:27] <encrypt128bit> i dont see what would be wrong though, or what could be messing the install up. | |
| [23:27] <ron_o> like I said, an old machine I had would and then wouldn't install linux. It was so frustrating. | |
| [23:27] <encrypt128bit> Im on a newer machine though | |
| [23:27] <ron_o> oh.. | |
| [23:27] <ron_o> intel mobo? | |
| [23:27] <encrypt128bit> P4, a gig of ram, geforce 6800 | |
| [23:28] <ron_o> the thing is xubuntu has the latest kernel so you shouldn't have problems there. On this machine I found out I needed a kernal above 2.6.20 in order for me to install. | |
| [23:28] <ron_o> but your machine is probably older than 6 months. | |
| [23:29] <encrypt128bit> yea | |
| [23:30] <encrypt128bit> http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=59642&d=1202995686 my system specs in that file | |
| [23:30] <encrypt128bit> i have a epox motherboard | |
| [23:31] <ron_o> i need to log in in order to see it. I lost my account info. :/ | |
| [23:33] <encrypt128bit_> Epox EP-4PLA(I) | |
| [23:33] <encrypt128bit_> thats my motherboard. | |

| [23:35] <ron_o> you could try updating your BIOS. | |
| [23:36] <encrypt128bit> I've looked into it, but im unsure of where to find a newer bios | |
| [23:36] <encrypt128bit> especially one that you can get for free | |
| [23:36] <encrypt128bit> all i can find are places that want to sell you a bios upgrade | |
| [23:37] <ron_o> http://www.warp2search.net/contentteller/news_story/new_bios_updates_b9b3.html | |
| [23:37] <ron_o> look there for your mobo. | |
| [23:37] <ron_o> what happened on my new system was that the CDs couldn't find my CD/DVD player, which meant it couldn't insgtall. | |
