[19:13] <robrt`> Hi website team
[19:13] <robrt`> Just wanted to report something on the donation button, at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/get-involved/donate
[19:14] <robrt`> You're currently passing a fixed amount of 25 USD, meaning people aren't able to change the donation amount
[19:14] <robrt`> To fix this, simply remove <input type="hidden"  name="amount"  value="25"> from the PayPal button code
[19:15] <robrt`> In addition, as I assume you don't need an address either, add <input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="2"> -- this will turn address collection off as well.
[19:16] <robrt`> You can also change the 'cmd'  from _xclick to _donations, in order for all transactions to be properly recognized as a donation within PayPal
[19:16] <robrt`> <input type="hidden"  name="cmd" value="_xclick"> to <input type="hidden"  name="cmd"  value="_donations">
[19:19] <robrt`> Or to spice up the button a little bit, have a look at some of PayPal's donation widgets; https://giving.paypallabs.com/authenticate/review
[20:12] <robrt`> er, no_shipping=1, not 2. :-)


[10:36] <muh-die-kuh> hi
[10:37] <muh-die-kuh> is it possible to use upstart as a wrapper around a script which provides "$foobar start" "$foobar status" and "$foobar stop"? if so, do you got any hint on what to google for?
[10:45] <xnox> muh-die-kuh: not really no. just use normal init.d script instead - one can mix & match those under upstart.
[11:03] <muh-die-kuh> xnox: okay, thanks
[11:04] <muh-die-kuh> xnox: but there's no layer that provides access to init.d scripts using upstarts "start" & "stop" commands, right?
[11:06] <xnox> muh-die-kuh: $ sudo service NAME [start|stop|status|restart]
[11:06] <xnox> muh-die-kuh: works for all - upstart jobs and init.d scripts alike
[11:07] <muh-die-kuh> xnox: awesome, thanks :)
[11:07] <xnox> muh-die-kuh: but you are correct, upstart native commands (start / stop / initctl ....) only work against upstart job files.
[17:26] <SpamapS> hm, is there a known bug in upstart where if you have   console=tty0 console=ttyS0 it does not fall back to tty0 if ttyS0 is unavailable?
[17:27] <SpamapS> Getting problems in a 13.04 VM that has no serial device.. some programs have no valid console.
[17:27] <SpamapS> (like, cloud-init)
[17:37] <xnox> SpamapS: i think only one of those values is used, not both / no priority.
[17:37] <xnox> i think jodh was looking into that, but it looks like he is EOD.
[18:14] <SpamapS> I'll file a bug with my findings, which are shallow but maybe they can help
[18:19] <SpamapS> hrm, upstart just consumes /dev/console ...
[18:20] <SpamapS> ok, upstart is off the hook I think

[21:02] <remline> Per the Ubuntu Software Center, "Canonical does not provide updates for VLC media player. Some updates may be provided by the Ubuntu community." Why is this? Should we expect that a package for VLC 2.1.5 will become available?
[21:03] <MonkeyDust> remline  updates do come regularly, yes
[21:04] <remline> MonkeyDust, 2.1.5 was released six months ago. I'm not complaining, I'm just curious about the process.
[21:04] <kostkon> !updates
[21:05] <Flannel> remline: VLC is in the "universe" component, things in universe are community maintained.  Canonical provides maintenance for things in the "main" component.  That's why it's "community maintained".
[21:07] <k1l_> remline: updates come for bugs or security reasons. but they are just gonna patch and not increase the version number. new versionnumbers come with new ubuntu releases
[21:07] <Flannel> remline: As far as 2.1.5, it may not ever be available.  Package versions are, in general, frozen during releases.  After release, updates and patches will be applied as necessary for bugs, but in general, no new features.  For instance, Utopic (already) has 2.2.0
[21:07] <cartwright> Flannel: ban me please
[21:07] <remline> Thanks Flannel, so the idea is that some community member will eventually create a Debian package for VLC 2.1.5 and upload it to http://packages.ubuntu.com?
[21:08] <remline> Per videolan.org "2.1.5 fixes a few bugs, and important security issues", so it seems appropriate to update it as part of a supported release.
[21:08] <k1l_> remline: that is what is called PPA
[21:09] <k1l_> remline: and again: if there are known security patches ubuntu will add them to (backport them) to the existing version
[21:09] <Flannel> remline: That's how it would work, if 2.1.5 were ever going to be in Trusty.  If its a bugfix release, then yeah, it might happen (Although the version will stay 2.1.4, with some extra stuff), then it could happen.  The easiest way to poke it along is to file a bug in launchpad about that version.
[21:09] <remline> k1l_, gotcha, so 2.1.4-0ubuntu14.04.1 may include some of the security fixes from upstream 2.1.5?
[21:10] <k1l_> remline: if the security issues and patches are made available, yes most probably
[21:10] <MonkeyDust> !latest | remline
[21:10] <Flannel> remline: It could, but I don't believe it does (but 2.1.4-0ubuntu$FOO may).  You can check the changelog on the right side here:
[21:10] <cartwright> k1l_: ban me please
[21:10] <Flannel> remline: http://packages.ubuntu.com/trusty-updates/vlc
[21:10] <k1l_> cartwright: go and play somewhere else. thanks
[21:11] <cartwright> MonkeyDust: L M A O what happened with owncloud then
[21:11] <cartwright> where they at though
[21:12] <remline> What is the difference between 'trusty' and 'trusty-updates'?

[22:06] <soee> :/
[22:08] <mirtx2500> anyone going to SCALE

[22:33] <bruxC> new to linux, have an ntfs-3g fstabbed in my ubuntu server. I'd like to transfer the data onto a linux file system but I'm not sure how to do this. I was told ext4 would be the best format to plop my media onto.
[22:33] <molly86> can someone help me out pls? im trying to burn linuxmint.iso with unetbootin to usb but its not copying all the folders to the usb its saying its done it but it hasnt....any ideas?
[22:33] <bruxC> how would i go about formatting unallocated space in ubuntu?
[22:33] <n1cky> k1l_: thank you. The ubuntu wiki was telling me to do some sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
[22:34] <n1cky> didn't seem right to me.
[22:34] <mirtx2500> k1l_, wouldnt it be better to get the nvidia run file from nvidia and install the driver from that?
[22:34] <k1l_> n1cky: what?
[22:34] <molly86> bruxC: Gparted  download it
[22:34] <k1l_> mirtx2500: no.
[22:34] <n1cky> `sudo ubuntu-drivers devices`
[22:34] <molly86> in software manager
[22:34] <mirtx2500> why not?
[22:34] <n1cky> sudo ubuntu-drivers devices
[22:34] <k1l_> mirtx2500: the ubuntu driver is already made working with ubuntu. the nvidid.run file doesnt get updates and gets lost on every new kernel

[22:46] <j_t> I can't install nscd on my precise box, I'm getting this error. nscd broken in precise? or is something wrong with my box?
[22:46] <j_t> I'm unsure of how to diagnose this.
[22:46] <j_t> The latest precise libc6 is 2.19, and it wants a version that isn't the latest from precise.
[22:47] <j_t> When I do apt-cache policy on libc6 or nscd, it shows as from ubuntu sources.
[22:47] <k1l_> mirtx2500: ok, but not with the build in ubuntu update tools. so it needs special user action
[22:48] <kostkon> j_t, latest version should be 2.15-0ubuntu10.10 0 500 http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/universe i386 Packages  is that the case?
[22:48] <k1l_> inex: its your choice. we cant decide that for you
[22:48] <k1l_> jatt: anything we can help you with?
[22:49] <j_t> kostkon: I'm using 64bit stuff, but yes it says   Candidate: 2.15-0ubuntu10.10
[22:49] <k1l_> j_t: apt-cache policy nscd
[22:49] <j_t> k1l_: yea, that's where I got the candidate info from
[22:49] <k1l_> can you pastebin it?
[22:49] <Loshki> inex: doesn't really matter. Unless you're tight on disk space, install and try both. IIRC, it's trivial to go between them.

It seems to recognize the USB and knows it's present, but says "Missing operating system". the usb stick boots fine in my (recent) laptop, so it's a good stick. we tried some troubleshooting work yesterday but I had to go before we resolved

[22:51] <t-dubs> So, I am concerned about installing Ubuntu on my computer, because, I am using  a Windows 8 computer, and I don't know if Ubuntu can take advantage of the ASICS that make windows 8.1 run so quickly,  and, what format to set the hard drive to (NTFS , fat32, fat16, linux-swap, etc.), and if installing Ubuntu on the HDD will stop it from lagging all of the time, because I currently am using a USB live session disc, or if that has nothing to
[22:51] <t-dubs>  do with why my  computer is always hanging or not.  I have 8 Gb memory, so, I am hoping that that is the issue.. So, IF you can help me with that, I'd greatly appreciate it!
[22:52] <bekks> t-dubs: There are no "ASICS that make Win 8.1 run so fast", and installing Ubuntu on your HDD will make it run faster, yes.
[22:52] <kostkon> j_t, what about your libc6
[22:53] <beard_s_brush> can i use an wifi hotspot as an usb dongle?
[22:53] <k1l_> t-dubs: yes, a real install is faster than th live system. and you should use ext4 for the ubuntu partitions. and there is no secret that makes windows 8 faster
[22:53] <bekks> !dualboot | t-dubs
[22:54] <j_t> kostkon / k1l_ https://gist.github.com/JohnTheodore/023e06a1bb55efb1c0c9
[22:54] <k1l_> j_t: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/nscd  it looks like the same depencies on here. i dont know if that is intended
[22:54] <k1l_> j_t: wait. you installed libc6 manually to 2.19?
[22:55] <kostkon> j_t, nope that's not the standard libc6 version in precise.
[22:55] <j_t> k1l_: Is it broken upstream?
[22:55] <j_t> kostkon: o interesting, really?
[22:55] <kostkon> !info libc6 precise
[22:55] <k1l_> j_t: no. your manual install breaks the package system depencies
[22:55] <t-dubs> I don'tr want to dual boot
[22:55] <kostkon> j_t, you've manually installed it from a deb
[22:55] <j_t> hmm, where did this 2.19 come from
[22:56] <kostkon> file*
[22:56] <k1l_> j_t: you did install that manually
[22:56] <kostkon> j_t, it clearly says that:  2.19-0ubuntu6 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
[22:56] <t-dubs> I can't boot into windows any more
[22:56] <k1l_> j_t: looks like your installed the trusty packages
[22:57] <inex> thank you k1l_ && Loshki
[22:57] <j_t> k1l_ / kostkon I think someone added 2.19 to the repo without me realizing it.
[22:57] <t-dubs> So I JUST want to boo into ubuntu now!
[22:57] <k1l_> t-dubs: then install ubuntu over windows. choose "use whole disk" in the installer
[22:58] <t-dubs> OK, and then I won't have to name partitions or anything like that?
[22:58] <t-dubs> Right?
[22:58] <k1l_> t-dubs: yes
[22:58] <t-dubs> k1l, thanks a lot@!
[22:58] <markdubuntu> Does anyone know the safest way to update all of the software in Ubuntu 14.04?

[22:59] <j_t> k1l_ / kostkon how can I downgrade the fix it?
[22:59] <t-dubs> K1l_, is this text bright red to you, now?
[22:59] <t-dubs> Or, is it just me that that happens to?
[22:59] <kostkon> j_t, check the first line:  2.19-0ubuntu6 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status    it means your version of libc6 was installed from a deb file.
[22:59] <k1l_> j_t: install the original precise package with dpkg
[22:59] <t-dubs> Or, do I have to do something special to make the text appear red to you?
[22:59] <t-dubs> LOL?
[22:59] <Bashing-om> markdubuntu: Terminal command: -> sudo apt-get update , sudo apt-get upgrade <- . the system will report any errors .
[22:59] <Loshki> t-dubs: so your *real* problem is intermittent hangs?
[23:00] <k1l_> t-dubs: its called "highlight" most irc clients do that if the own name is at the beginning
[23:00] <markdubuntu> Thank you!
[23:00] <t-dubs> Loshki, Yes, I would say so.
[23:00] <Loshki> t-dubs: ok, so first, run memtest overnight & come back tomorrow and tell us if there were any errors.
[23:01] <t-dubs> If Ubuntu would run faster from the live-user(?) system, and boot as fast as windows did, I woudl be fine with leaving it on the USB
[23:01] <k1l_> t-dubs: just install it.
[23:01] <t-dubs> OK, Loshki, where do I get that from?
[23:02] <t-dubs> Can I install it via the terminal?
[23:02] <t-dubs> And, run it from there, too/
[23:02] <t-dubs> ??**
[23:02] <Bashing-om> t-dubs: nope, USB speed is not nearly as fast as HD, and SSD is even faster .
[23:03] <j_t> kostkon / k1l_ Can I specify the version with apt-get install?
[23:03] <inex> YAY i've got ubuntu
[23:03] <t-dubs> Oh, ok, Bashing-om, so, even IF memtest reveals some errors, it won't run as quickly as it would if it was on the hard drive?
[23:03] <sheena1> https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-xBGKG9AMuko/VN6HF91JEPI/AAAAAAAAcUM/vDntreGaezI/w711-h533-no/IMG_20150213_152149.jpg  This is my bios ID screen for the computer that will not boot from my USB stick. It seems to recognize the USB and knows it's present, but says "Missing operating system". the usb stick boots fine in my (recent) laptop, so it's a good stick. we tried some troubleshooting work yesterday but I had to go before we resolved
[23:04] <Loshki> t-dubs: it used to be an option during boot-up of the live cd. But before we get carried away, talk more about the hangs. Is it with both OSes, or just one?
[23:04] <t-dubs> SSD= Solid Sate Drive?
[23:04] <Ben_g> Hi
[23:04] <Loshki> t-dubs: yes, fastest thing around. Tout la rage...
[23:05] <Ben_g> I'm using ubuntu on my laptop, and lately, the battery doesn't seem to fully charge anymore.
[23:05] <Bashing-om> t-dubs: The 'mem test' test ram chips. has nothig do do with how fast usb/HD compares. Loshki wants to get that possible hardware issue out of the way .
[23:05] <k1l_> Ben_g: that could be hardware failure. batteries loose the full charge state over time
[23:05] <bekks> Ben_g: Which is expected to happen. No battery has an unlimited life.
[23:06] <Ben_g> It just stops after a while, and it seems to think the battery is full then, but when I remove the charger, the battery indicates something low like 60%
[23:06] <Ben_g> This laptop is 1.5 years old. Isn't that a bit soon for hardware failures?
[23:07] <kostkon> j_t, you could try sudo apt-get install libc6 --reinstall
[23:07] <bekks> Ben_g: Hardware failures can happen on the same day when bying hardware. Age is no criteria:)
[23:07] <t-dubs> Just Ubuntu, and, for the record, Ubuntu is the ONLY OS available to me any,ore, as, I once attempted to install Ubuntu (about 10 days ago), and, even tho it didnt' successfully install, it wiped out the "boot sector" (? is that right(I don't know)), so, now, if the USB isn't in the port when I start up windows,  it doesn't do ANYTHING at all, EVEN BIOS isn't there!
[23:08] <t-dubs> OK, so, even tho my HD isn't a solid state drive, it will still boot (and run, hopefully), faster than the USB>?
[23:08] <bekks> t-dubs: The BIOS is unaffected by Ubuntu. And apparently you installed grub onto your USB.
[23:08] <t-dubs> ??*
[23:08] <Ben_g> Well, unplugging the charger and plugging it back in does make my laptop continue the charging process
[23:08] <k1l_> t-dubs: really, just use the "use whole disk to install".
[23:08] <ben__755> WHAT
[23:09] <t-dubs> OK, so, that will be an option, right?
[23:09] <ben__755> WELL WELL SKYLANDERS
[23:09] <Ben_g> so the hardware didn't suddenly become unable to charge my battery.
[23:09] <k1l_> !install | t-dubs
[23:10] <Ben_g> If windows always charges the battery correctly, can I then assume it isn't a hardware failure?
[23:11] <k1l_> Ben_g: well yes. or the windows driver has other settings.
[23:11] <Ben_g> I'll try that over the next few days then.
[23:11] <t-dubs> OK, guys, SO, If I install Ubuntu, instead of selecting "try Ubuntu before you install it", I'll get an option to unstall it over the entire drive, and I won't have to manually select any partitions?
[23:11] <t-dubs> AM I understanding that correctly?
[23:12] <k1l_> t-dubs: yes. but you can start the installer from the live-OS too
[23:12] <t-dubs> oh, So you're saying that I can start it right now?
[23:12] <t-dubs> Without restarting?
[23:13] <k1l_> yes.
[23:13] <k1l_> look at the desktop. there should be a "install ubuntu" icon
[23:13] <t-dubs> OK
[23:13] <t-dubs> I will try it now!
[23:15] <luis_> hola
[23:17] <t-dubs> Thank you so much for your help!!
[23:17] <sheena1> https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-xBGKG9AMuko/VN6HF91JEPI/AAAAAAAAcUM/vDntreGaezI/w711-h533-no/IMG_20150213_152149.jpg  This is my bios ID screen for the computer that will not boot from my USB stick. It seems to recognize the USB and knows it's present, but says "Missing operating system". the usb stick boots fine in my (recent) laptop, so it's a good stick. we tried some troubleshooting work yesterday but I had to go before we resolved
[23:21] <Prezident> So whats the problem, it seems its booting from the harddrive instead, just add bios as boot prio nr1.
[23:21] <Prezident> if the usb works on other computers then its for sure a bios fail.
[23:22] <sheena1> its attempting to boot from the usb stick, when i have usb set as first. the message I get is "Missing Operating System"
[23:23] <inex> guys help :c ubuntu says windows doesnt exist, but i just used it. will this format my hdd?
[23:23] <Prezident> inex: your bootloader aint working proper then, no its still there you just need fifx your bootloader
[23:23] <Prezident> dual bot?
[23:23] <Prezident> boot
[23:23] <Prezident> Wich bootloader you using inex ?
[23:23] <inex> yeh i want to dualboot
[23:24] <inex> i dunno, windows magic bootloader?
[23:24] <Prezident> wich is your priotary os?
[23:24] <inex> microsoft windows 7 ultimate
[23:24] <inex> wat do
[23:25] <skinofstars> hey all. when i installed ubuntu, i used lvm/lucks. i don't really know lvm, but would it be possible to lvm resize and add xubuntu? like, dual boot?
[23:25] <Prezident> You need give more information inex, what happening when you booting your computer?
[23:26] <inex> i restarted from windows, went into the bios, selected to boot from cd (ubuntu 14,04) and then waited until installatin wizard appeared
[23:27] <Prezident> ok
[23:27] <inex> i can see my partitions, should i resize and install? will that dualboot?
[23:27] <dixie__> hey guys.  back again.
[23:28] <Prezident> Wich ubuntu version you downloaded, if you downloaded latest you should get a gui installation view and "install ubuntu beside windows"
[23:28] <Prezident> do not play with your partitions if windows is main os then u will destroy it i belive
[23:28] <dixie__> just curious, any OS builders around today?
[23:28] <inex> oh
[23:28] <inex> so, just run the wizard from inside windows?
[23:28] <Prezident> yes dixie__, whats up? Im not using ubuntu as main distro but im like to help, whats up?
[23:29] <Prezident> inex: wubi isnt supported anymore i belive
[23:29] <Prezident> but still works, wubi.exe
[23:29] <inex> ill do it then... see if it works
[23:29] <inex> thanks :)
[23:29] <Prezident> Googling on "wubi.exe ubuntu 14" and you got nice guides, yw
[23:30] <dixie__> Prezident: no help necessary.  just looking for compatriots to talk shop with
[23:30] <bekks> Dont use wubi for anything else but just testing, especially dont use it for production usage.
[23:30] <k1l_> wubi :(
[23:31] <dixie__> when did wubi go away?? not that I liked or used it, but it was handy to show people
[23:32] <dixie__> Prezident: what sorts of things are you building these days?
[23:32] <Prezident> Not supported means no more devoloping but still works, since 13.04 it seems.
[23:32] <bekks> Prezident: Not supported means "dont use it anymore" :)
[23:32] <Prezident> bekks: why?
[23:32] <Prezident> For tests its fine.
[23:32] <bekks> Prezident: Because of the "not supported anymore".
[23:33] <k1l_> dixie__: wubi is not meant to be a long time install. its too fragile. either ubuntu, or windows or both will break
[23:33] <Angeles4four> if i add the gnome 3 staging repos, will that install the gnome 3 development version nightly builds? iif i just wanted to install the latest stable release of gnome 3 (like 3.12 or 3.14) should i be searching for a differnt ppa to add?
[23:33] <dixie__> it's older than dirt, but if you absolutely must have a usable distro from within windows, checkout damn small linux embedded.  it runs dsl from within qemu.
[23:33] <Prezident> bekks: the argument is pretty bad, "do not drive older cars since they arent supported anymore"
[23:33] <Prezident> For tests its pretty good.
[23:33] <k1l_> Angeles4four: see what is in that ppa you got there
[23:33] <bekks> Prezident: "drive that old car if you want, but on you own risk."
[23:34] <k1l_> Prezident: wubi can ruin the windows install. so i dont think your car metaphor works here
[23:34] <inex> Prezident: wubi.exe just says restart for live or install...
[23:34] <inex> fuk
[23:34] <dixie__> I can't say I even recommend dual booting.  just install linux.  it'll fix your life.
[23:35] <dixie__> inex: wubi uses a two stage installation process.  you have to reboot to actually install it.
[23:35] <Angeles4four> k1l_, i see mostly 3.12 and 3.14, but i do see some packages with 3.15 (like the icons and gdm) which indicates that there could be some experimental packages
[23:35] <dixie__> I remember that much atleast
[23:35] <inex> built a whole gamibg computer to install a os that cant run aaa games? no thx
[23:35] <k1l_> Angeles4four: yes. that sounds like a mix
[23:35] <Angeles4four> k1l_, so shouldi  be looking elsewhere on launchpad for 3.12 and 3.14 stable packages?
[23:36] <inex> habks dixie__
[23:36] <inex> thx*
[23:36] <dixie__> inex: what game?
[23:36] <t-dubs> Helo, I am having trouble installing Ubuntu fromn US, It is the computer I am on right now, and, everytime I click "install Ubuntu 12.4 (or whatever the newest stable version is) I get the following error message:
[23:37] <Prezident> inex: whats wrong? steamos is builded on debian, thats wrong what you saying here
[23:37] <t-dubs> ubi-partman crashed
[23:37] <Prezident> But i wouldnt recomend a gamer linux, thats for sure !:)
[23:37] <dixie__> Prezident: I was just thinking the same thing.
[23:37] <Prezident> Yep, people just havent understood it yet :p
[23:38] <dixie__> Prezident: I haven't tried steamos yet, but I've heard good things from friends about it.
[23:39] <t-dubs> ubi-partman failed with exit code 10. Further information may be found in /var/log/syslong Do you want to try running this step again before continuing? If you do not, your installation may fail entirely, or may be brojken...
[23:39] <t-dubs> So what gives?
[23:39] <Prezident> Ok, neither did i! But i know some games giving better FPS in linux.
[23:39] <Prezident> I using gentoo myself, and im not a gamer.
[23:39] <Prezident> Games is for console imo.
[23:41] <t-dubs> So. whenever I click on "Try again", I get the same exact error message, so, I really don't know what to do here! Can anyone here, help me?
[23:41] <dixie__> I havn't played a video game is years.  I'm certainly not an expert on gaming linux, games, or anything of the sort.  but I'm very excited that steam went through the process of developing a linux os for their games.  Not my cup of tea, but it seems like a great idea for gamers.
[23:41] <dixie__> t-dubs: sounds like a partitioning error.  did you let the installer create your partitions automatically or did you do it by hand?
[23:42] <Enders_Game> i have an upstart script that says its started on boot (checked with initctl list) but actually isn't. if I do a stop (service) then start (service) then it starts working
[23:42] <Enders_Game> any idea hwere i could start to find out whats wrong?
[23:42] <inex> are the ender games good?
[23:43] <t-dubs> I previously attempted to manually partition it, but, I am totally fine with allowing it to do it automatically for me, but, I can't even get to that option yet
[23:43] <dixie__> Enders_Game: what's your upstart script doing?
[23:43] <dixie__> Enders_Game: and did you write in any logging into your script?
[23:43] <t-dubs> !YET; ANYMORE**
[23:44] <Enders_Game> http://paste.ubuntu.com/10229544/
[23:44] <dixie__> t-dubs: live linux boots okay on the machine though?
[23:44] <t-dubs> iIT is error code 10, if that matters!
[23:44] <t-dubs> Yeah, that'as what I'M on right now@
[23:44] <t-dubs> now!*
[23:45] <dixie__> t-dubs: matters, but doesn't at the same time.  have you tried the live installer?
[23:45] <t-dubs> That's the one that's on the desktop, right?
[23:45] <inex> okay, wubi.exe booted from ubuntu cd...
[23:46] <Enders_Game> maybe it fails silently because it needs another service that isn't started? whats the highest runlevel before it gets to user?
[23:46] <dixie__> inex: sounds about right
[23:46] <t-dubs> Rather than th e one that it asks me to use at the beginning when I start up the computer?
[23:46] <Enders_Game> fails and doesnt exit*
[23:47] <inex> i can hear the cd doing stuff. ubuntu logo now
[23:47] <dixie__> Enders_Game: try just starting your script as an @reboot cron job.  That's how I'm handling all of my startup stuff these days.
[23:48] <Enders_Game> dixie__: alright thanks
[23:48] <t-dubs> So... Can anyone help me out?
[23:48] <dixie__> Enders_Game: that's basically what you're asking upstart to do anyways.
[23:49] <inex> OH NOES black screen
[23:49] <inex> oh wait. ubuntu top bar thing now. with background
[23:50] <dixie__> t-dubs: I'm going to suggest re-downloading the iso and verifying the md5 before you create the dvd/usb.  something's fishy.
[23:50] <inex> yay, installation wizard THANKS EVERYONE
[23:50] <dixie__> inex: good job!
[23:50] <inex> should i connect to wifi?
[23:51] <Prezident> Why not?
[23:51] <t-dubs> OK, so, I need to download the ubuntu startup file on the usb again?
[23:51] <inex> download third party apps for flash and mp3... sure why not
[23:52] <Prezident> Correct! =)
[23:52] <Prezident> adobe-flash is thirdpart
[23:52] <Prezident> its not devoloped for linux anymore, i recomend chromium-browser
[23:52] <dixie__> t-dubs: that's my suggestion.  from what you're telling us, it sounds like a media error
[23:52] <Prezident> Wich has built in inex
[23:52] <inex> ik, pepper
[23:52] <Prezident> =)
[23:53] <Prezident> Wich version you running now 14.04 LTS?
[23:53] <t-dubs> Oh, ok<
[23:53] <inex> oh shit, ther is a massive filesystem list
[23:53] <inex> what to choose...?
[23:53] <t-dubs> SO, I need to download the Official ISO from ubuntu.com, right?
[23:53] <dixie__> t-dubs: yes.  I recommend 14.04lts.
[23:54] <t-dubs> 14.04 LTS,huh?
[23:54] <t-dubs> OK, thanks a lot
[23:54] <dixie__> t-dubs: good luck
[23:54] <Prezident> inex: huh?
[23:55] <Prezident> you installed ubuntu with wubi then it should be installed under C: in windows, and when you reboot you should be able to choose ubuntu ..
[23:55] <Prezident>  dont understnad
[23:55] <t-dubs> You wouldn't happen to have the file or the download link you could send me, wouldja?
[23:55] <dixie__> t-dubs: better to just google it.
[23:55] <t-dubs> OK, dude, thanks a lot
[23:56] <dixie__> t-dubs: if you have any more issues, just stop in and ask
