| [06:29] <airtonix> depends | |
| [12:32] <patriotaqus> hi | |
| [12:33] <head_victim> Good evening | |
| [12:36] <benonsoftware> Hiya patriotaqus and head_victim | |
| [12:37] <patriotaqus> Hi there | |
| [12:37] <benonsoftware> How is everyone going? | |
| [12:38] <patriotaqus> I am alright, but i am having difficulty getting ubuntu to install. | |
| [12:38] <dns53> what method are you using and where is it failing? | |
| [12:39] <patriotaqus> Well i used wubi | |
| [12:40] <patriotaqus> and when i restarted it threw an error my way (which i submitted) and then it seemed the OS was somewhat loaded but then a commandline (or something similar) came up with something along the lines of | |
| [12:40] <dns53> well it should normally work, i have seen issues when the windows disk is fragmented or you need to run scandisk | |
| [12:40] <patriotaqus> "checking CUPS spool..." [OK] and just hung there | |
| [12:41] <patriotaqus> Disk probably isn't fragmented -> newly formatted | |
| [12:43] <patriotaqus> I uninstalled ubuntu in program manager, i am going to try again but should i instead install with CD to avoid issues? | |
| [12:48] <dns53> download an iso and check the md5sum, you can use a 64 bit iso if you want just have it in the same directory as wubi.exe | |
| [12:50] <patriotaqus> ill check it now | |
| [12:54] <patriotaqus> the checksum was correct | |
| [12:57] <patriotaqus> okay well i have made an attempt at putting it on an usb (no cds), so i am going to do another attempt. thanks | |
| [12:59] <head_victim> Nice work dns53, I have never even looked at wubi so of absolutely no use :/ | |
| [13:02] <dns53> it's good but it did have it stop working as my drive became fragmented, a defrag fixed it | |
| [13:02] <head_victim> I only ever dual booted and then switched entirely and occasionally run windows in a VM | |
