[16:29] <tonyespy> sorry wrong channel. ;(
[20:59] <jhaas> Hello... I'm attempting to install Ubuntu MID on my Samsung Q1U. I put it on a USB drive and booted, was prompted to press ENTER, the standard Linux boot stuff rolled by, then it said "will mount from /dev/sdb", and has sat there for like 15 minutes. The activity light on the USB drive is flashing. Should I just let it sit there, and how long should it take?
[21:02] <jhaas> Anyone?
[21:11] <GrueMaster> jhaas: You may need to reimage your flash drive. What command did you use?
[21:11] <jhaas> Hmm, I don't remember, GrueMaster. I imaged the drive a few weeks ago but only now got around to installing.
[21:12] <jhaas> Is there a good way of putting the .img file on a USB drive in Windows? I'm at work at the moment and Windows is the operating system convenient to me right now.
[21:12] <GrueMaster> If you still have the img file lying around, use "dd bs=1024 if=<imagefile.img> of=/dev/sdb"
[21:13] <GrueMaster> Or whatever your usb drive is on your host pc.
[21:13] <GrueMaster> But you need the "bs=1024". Otherwise, the drive won't always work.
[21:13] <jhaas> I do still have the .img... will give it a try.
[21:16] <jhaas> I'm still a bit of a Linux newbie... what command can I use to verify that /dev/sdb is in fact my USB drive so I don't accidentally clobber a different one?
[21:16] <GrueMaster> after inserting the drive, type "dmesg" to see which one it was detected as.
[21:17] <GrueMaster> Also, make sure to unmount it before using dd, as the filesystem can become corrupted otherwise.
[21:21] <jhaas> Taking forever to copy the .img file from the Windows box I downloaded it to to my home directory.
[21:21] <jhaas> ::impatient::
[21:44] <jhaas> Seems to have done the trick, GrueMaster, thanks.
[21:44] <GrueMaster> No problem. Have fun with your new image.
[21:45] <jhaas> Will try.
[21:45] <jhaas> I'm hoping to find some use for this Q1U, which was all but unusable with Vista on it :)
[21:46] <GrueMaster> You may need to install the mad wifi drivers to get wireless working. Other than that, ours work fine.
[21:47] <GrueMaster> Of course, don't try to run Doom3 or Quake4.
[21:48] <jhaas> And, there goes the battery. Knew I shoulda brought the charger.
[21:49] <jhaas> Oh well, will play with it when I get home.
[21:50] <jhaas> Thanks again, I'm off.

[22:30] <davisc> Are the deps for virtual-mobile-builder broken? Saying "Depends: ubuntu-vm-builder (>= 0.4-0ubuntu0.3) but 0.4-0ubuntu0.3~804um1 is to be installed"
[22:30] <davisc> (or the version of ubuntu-vm-builder)
