[00:58] <WilsonBradley> what happend?
[01:02] <WilsonBradley> After a recent update , I am getting Segfault with many things.. apt-update , synaptics, Update Manager, etc I have same problem when loggin in with different account, so I figured my past backups of my whole Home directory restore wouldn't help.. was right. :'(
[02:03] <OffGridOps> 12.04: I have an .iso from the original W*ndows XP for my laptop and would like to install it in a Vbox fashion. Can someone guide me to a link to do this. Thanx
[02:08] <andrewaclt> OffGridOps, It's pretty simple. You just add the iso as a virtual drive in virtual box
[02:08] <andrewaclt> From memory, you right click on the new image, settings, and there is a green plus somewhere click it and you can navigate to the image
[02:08] <andrewaclt> Also, try #ubuntu instead of +1 :)
[02:09] <OffGridOps> so like install oracle vbox or something dump the iso on the desktop unopened? sorry about the IRC I thought 12.x was +!
[02:09] <OffGridOps> +1
[02:09] <andrewaclt> Is the iso on the filesystem?
[02:10] <OffGridOps> i do appreciate your time. background is that i do financial work and have to have IE for ActiveX. No its on a Cd
[02:10] <andrewaclt> Is it an actual .iso or is the cd the image?
[02:10] <andrewaclt> like on the filesystem if you navigate to the CD do you see .iso or do you see the windows files
[02:10] <OffGridOps> iso on w*ndows7 desktop on another computer, just burnewd it to cd
[02:11] <OffGridOps> can copy either way
[02:11] <andrewaclt> ah, well no need to copy
[02:11] <andrewaclt> as long as you can see it in the filesystem, you can just pop the dvd in and navigate to it on the virtual drive page
[02:11] <OffGridOps> ok thanx much for your time!
[02:20] <WilsonBradley> What would happen if I downloaded Quantel 12.10 live iso , and reinstalled it?
[02:27] <BluesKaj> WilsonBradley, it would probly work ok , I"m currently on 12.10 using KDE desktop with very few glitches
[02:29] <WilsonBradley> what about my old configuration? Meaning reinstall Quantel over 12.04
[02:29] <WilsonBradley> What will I lose?
[02:30] <BluesKaj> ok WilsonBradley , you could wait til tomorrow and do a net upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10, then you won't lose anything
[02:31] <WilsonBradley> a net upgrade?
[02:31] <WilsonBradley> apt-get update , upgrade doesn't work
[02:31] <BluesKaj> err sorry WilsonBradley , june 7th , not tomorrow
[02:32] <WilsonBradley> is 12.10 released on the 7th?
[02:32] <WilsonBradley> w/ support?
[02:32] <BluesKaj> no WilsonBradley , that only updates your present OS packages
[02:33] <WilsonBradley> how do I do a net upgrade? Is that different than downloading live 12.10 and reinstalling?
[02:34] <BluesKaj> to do a network upgrade it's , do-release-upgrade -d , the -d is for development OS , WilsonBradley
[02:34] <BluesKaj> use sudo of course
[02:34] <WilsonBradley> ok, I will try it now just to see if it will work.
[02:35] <BluesKaj> it won't , the release isn't in the repos til the 7th
[02:36] <WilsonBradley> ok, looks like its working
[02:36] <BluesKaj> really ?
[02:37] <WilsonBradley> Looks like it was downloading then... Leyindo cach��
