<mrDaniel> I am not sure if this is a bug: under windows I can adjust the sound-volumen with Fn+left (turn down) and Fn+right (louder). Under ubuntu this shourtcuts work too (what's great), but the are 'linked' with the wrong volume-control (Headphones). do anyone know who set this 'link' to another volume-control (PCM) ???

<mikka303> Hi there, could someone help me out configuring my Fujitsu laptop monitor?
<Burgwork> mikka303, what is the issue?
<mikka303> hi burg
<mikka303> well screenresolution
<mikka303> i cant figure out my monitor range
<mikka303> to edit xorg.conf
<Burgwork> it doesn't just work?
<Burgwork> your refresh range is 60hz (all lcds work at this refresh rate)
<Burgwork> your resolution is more tricky
<Burgwork> I would google it
<Burgwork> and file a bug to tell the developers that your laptopo doesn't work ootb
<mikka303> well i dont think theres a problem
<mikka303> ive read a lot of installation notes
<mikka303> this command : sudo ddcprobe | grep monitorrange 
<mikka303> should give me the information about the range
<mikka303> but in some monitors it doesnt work
<Burgwork> right
<mikka303> and i think thats my case
<Burgwork> I would google your laptop model
<mikka303> and i was guessing if there was other way to get the values
<Burgwork> find some stats online and use those
<mikka303> i tried also
<mikka303> well ill just keep searching
<mikka303> thanks a lot burg anyway
<Burgwork> no worries
<Burgwork> file that bug

<Laser123454321> How do i enable support for backlight on a Toshiba Satalite in Ubuntu 6.10
<Redrose> hello all!
<Laser123454321> hey can you help me with this?
<Laser123454321> How do i enable support for backlight on a Toshiba Satalite in Ubuntu 6.10
<Redrose> I can help you laser
<Laser123454321> yes please
<Redrose> rebuild your kernel
<Laser123454321> is that it?
<Laser123454321> i thought there was native support
<Redrose> not unless it was built into the kernel originally
<defendguin> when does knot 2 get released?
<crimsun> late this week
<defendguin> you think testing it with the live CD would be enough?
<crimsun> "enough" for what use cases?
<defendguin> working out this craptastic audio bug
<crimsun> which audio bug?
<crimsun> and it's unlikely. Edgy's audio support trails Dapper's unless you're speaking of the aoa driver.
<defendguin> the one where normal sound is fine but when i play a dvd the volume is below normal unless i put on my headphones
<crimsun> you can test that right now if you compile alsa-driver 1.0.12 yourself
<crimsun> doesn't matter if you use warty, hoary, breezy, dapper, or edgy
<defendguin> id rather not mess with the packaging system
<crimsun> did you mean you'd "rather not compile anything"?
<crimsun> there's no reason you couldn't use any live cd and recompile alsa-driver 1.0.12
<defendguin> ill just install edgy in my 4 gig diagnostic/restore partition
<crimsun> if you're paranoid, just use a live cd
<defendguin> its not like im ever going to resotre this laptop to the way the factory shipped it
<defendguin> restore*
<defendguin> and i need to get hibernation working
<crimsun> sorry, I'm quite far from an acpi guru, though there is someone [whose client is]  present who is much closer to that
<defendguin> how many knots will there be?
<crimsun> "as many as there need to be"
<mjg59> Hi
<mjg59> Did someone say acpi?
<defendguin> lol
<mjg59> I'm been chasing up hibernation stuff
<mjg59> It ought to work better under edgy
<defendguin> mjg59: yeah hibernation hasn't worked for me since beta 6 in dapper
<mjg59> (Yes, I realise that I've said that sort of thing before)
<mjg59> It's utterly fucked in edgy right now
<mjg59> Ought to improve with the new kernel
<crimsun> hopefully in knot 3 I suspect.
<defendguin> :(
<defendguin> mjg59: when you say new kernel what version number did you mean?
<mjg59> -7
<defendguin> i don't suppose edgy is going to get an accelerated X
<defendguin> when mark said they were going to take some chances with this release thats the first thing that came to mind but i havent seen anything of it 
<crimsun> ..."an accelerated X"?
<mjg59> X has always been accelerated
<defendguin> sorry 
<defendguin> Xgl is what I mean
<mjg59> Oh
<mjg59> Xgl is in edgy
<mjg59> But aiglx is in main
<defendguin> what do you mean main?
<defendguin> dapper?
<mjg59> No
<mjg59> The main distribution
<mjg59> Rather than universe
<defendguin> ahhh
<defendguin> i c
<defendguin> it should work out of the box or do you have to hand configure it?
<mjg59> It works out of the box
<defendguin> sounds good.  I never saw a lot of tutorials for setting it up in dapper if you had an intel graphics card
<defendguin> everything was nvidia or ati related
<defendguin> well as soon as knot2 is released i'll grab it then start my bug reporting
<defendguin> mjg59: how can i tell what is happening when i try to hibernate but it never hibernates.  It just looks like it is going down then comes right back up
<mjg59> defendguin: dmesg may be helpful
<defendguin> https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/40471   notice my last comment here
<mjg59> dmesg may be helpful
<defendguin> mjg59: ok i added an attachment with the dmesg output
<defendguin> swsusp: Not enough free swap     i guess this is my answer
<mjg59> Yup
<mjg59> Should be improved in edgy
<defendguin> i have an even 500 mb of swap
<defendguin> 512MB of system memory
<defendguin> mjg59: does your swap space need to be bigger than the system memory for hibernation to work?
<mjg59> It depends on how much memory you're using
<defendguin> that sounds pretty crappy.  
<defendguin> so if i add another 512 stick there is no way my laptop will hibernate
<defendguin> i don't want to bash anyone but in windows or mac i don't think this problem exists
<mjg59> Macs don't hibernate
<defendguin> really?
<defendguin> seems hard to believe 
<defendguin> Up until recently, Mac users didnt have a similar Sleep mode which required no power. When Apple announced new PowerBooks in October 2005, it also introduced Safe Sleep to Mac OS X, an extention to Sleep mode that allows for hibernation without power.
<defendguin> so i guess they do now have hibernation
<eod_punk> hello all

<Nailor> hi there
<malice> ? I just installled ubuntu onto my laptop and it does not seem to show the correct charge left on the battery. Does anyone know of a help site that would point me into the right direction?
<Nailor> What laptop?
<malice> Dell Latitude C540
<Nailor> Um. Can't say a thing about that one. :p
<Nailor> Does it show the correct charge left on some other operating system (like Windows)
<malice> I dont't know I got this used and the old battery did the same thing I just got this about 4 days ago.. so I got a new battery and it is doing the same thing. :)
<malice> I deleted windows as soon as I got it.
<Nailor> Well the sensors might be busted
<malice> hehe that would explain the nice cheap price :)
<malice> oh well I will have a lap top that I can plug in everywhere I go then
<Nailor> oh, the battery is not loading either?
<malice> it loads from time to time if I take it out put it in a few times then ubuntu sees the battery

<dkettman> Hello all, having an issue with an ATI SB450 in a Gateway laptop. It uses the snd_hda_intel driver and i get no sound... does anyone have any 'magic bullet' to fix this? :)
<ijuz__> i have no idea... but when you want to have a chance for a good answer you should tell what kernel you are using etc.
<dkettman> Sorry :) ..
<dkettman> 2.6.22 for now ..
<dkettman> I installed 7.04 and had no sound...
<dkettman> I've been scouring forums and wikis for hours (5 or 6 now) trying to find the fix for this, it seems to be a common problem.
<dkettman> But there are those out there who say they have gotten it to work
<ijuz__> well, i have another chipset (intel stuff), but the snd_hda_intel also does not work with .22 or at least with the ubuntu kernel, so i installed .23-rc3 and it works
<dkettman> Hmm .. ok ..
<dkettman> And is there an ubuntu repo I can use? I got .22 from gutsy...
<dkettman> Or do I have to d/l it and compile it on my own?
<ijuz__> it's pretty easy... untar, copy the config from gutsy, make oldconfig...
<ijuz__> i fear so :)
<dkettman> Ok ..
<ijuz__> i can write it down for you when you want
<dkettman> Well, I'll start d/ling the kernel now ..
<dkettman> You mean copy the config file out of /boot?
<ijuz__> yes, just the .22 config to .config in the kernel tree
<dkettman> Alright ..
<dkettman> Cool.. Thanks for the lead, I will let you know how it goes
<ijuz__> i just wrote it halfway down http://christian-leber.de/VoidWiki/Ubuntu
<ijuz__> stands surely somewhere else, but searching also takes time ;)
<dkettman> Thank you very much :)
<dkettman> compiling now .. wish me luck :)
<ijuz__> a core2duo should be finished about now ;)
<|muelli|> anyone with a x61s in here? :)
<ijuz__> |muelli|: gutsy or feisty?
<|muelli|> ijuz__: well. I don't care. I just _try_ to install gutsy, but the installer is not nice to me...
<ijuz__> you get to busybox?
<|muelli|> ijuz__:  if I want to...
<ijuz__> no, what does not work?
<|muelli|> Right now it fails with "installing the base system", but I actually can't determine whats going wrong.
<|muelli|> ah.
<|muelli|> "package cryptsetup is not available, but is referred to by another package"
<ijuz__> ah, so get another daily...
<|muelli|> I try to install gutsy in a dm_crypt container
<ijuz__> ah, ok, never tried that
<ijuz__> probably you should try a normal install, when it works... it isn't a laptop problem
<dkettman> ijuz__: Not on a core2 duo :(... Just a Celery M520
<ijuz__> dkettman: i would expect... 1h15min :)
<dkettman> Its close to done, its building the modules now
<|muelli|> hm. still failing on that crypstsetup issue. Somehow /etc/apt/sources.list gets replaced and then universe is removed. So it can't install it. But I already installed it! Can I make apt think, that this package is already installed so that it does nothing about it?
<ijuz__> there is a package fake something that can make empty packages to fullfill dependencies
<dkettman> Done compiling!
<dkettman> Question, I am getting errors with find saying it cant find a /lib/firmware/2.6.23-rc3 directory...
<dkettman> did I miss something during make?
<ijuz__> no... let's hope you don't need that stuff ;)
<ijuz__> you could copy the stuff from the 2.6.22-9 directory to a new 2.6.23-rc3 directory
<dkettman> Ok .. well I'm going on without it .. modifying the menu.lst now, then the reboot!
<dkettman> Here goes nothing! rebooting now
<ijuz__> ?
<dkettman> :(
<dkettman> It is stuck at Locaing, please wait...
<dkettman> er Loading
<dkettman> Says it uncompressed ok
<ijuz__> did you remove the "quiet" in the line?
<dkettman> Yeah
<ijuz__> sorry, no idea, should work
<dkettman> Would that mean maybe my initrd isnt right?
<dkettman> I'm going to try to re-make it
<ijuz__> probably, but that should work, probably wrong filename? (but grub should have thrown an error)
<dkettman> I wonder if it was relying on the firmwares, I copied over the 2.6.22-9 firmwares over
<dkettman> trying again
<dkettman> still nothing ..
<dkettman> *sigh*
<Nailor> Did you download the vanilla kernel?
<Nailor> From kernel.org
<dkettman> Yeah, and then patched to 23-rc3
<Nailor> Some patches ubuntu use may cause that kind of behaviour
<dkettman> So what might you suggest to me to resolve this? :)
<Nailor> Dunno. :)
<dkettman> Hmm
<dkettman> Ok .. figured :) hehe
<dkettman> hold on ..
<Nailor> All I'm saying that ubuntu patches may do something, that leaves some options of kernel unconfigured that should be.. or something
<dkettman> Ooh .. got something
<Nailor> at least debian behaved like that back in the days
<dkettman> It cant find the root dist ..
<dkettman> er disk
<dkettman> I got dropped to busybox
<ijuz__> imo the kernel is somehow brocken, hm, i thought i just had pressed return all the time :)
<dkettman> Ok ..
<dkettman> so the name of the root disk is wrong .. thats easy to fix .. althought I dont knwo why it didnt work by copying a previous entry .. ?
<ijuz__> should work...  that config works on my craptop http://debian.christian-leber.de/config-rc3
<dkettman> I'm going to double-check the root disk is labeled the same on all of them just to be sure
<dkettman> I sure hope this is worth it :)
<dkettman> Ok, same error, maybe different issue though ..
<dkettman> Here is the message I get:
<dkettman> ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/<UUID NUMBER> does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
<ijuz__> very odd... you are sure that you copied it correctly? ;)  should work... so either not the ide/sata driver doesn't work correctly or... no idea
<dkettman> Yeah, found an entry on launchpad .. going to check a couple things out ..
<dkettman> I triple-checked the UUID
<dkettman> The only thing that this kernel doesnt have in /boot is an abi-2.6.23-rc3 file
<dkettman> but I couldnt find that in the build tree ..
<dkettman> but I dont knwo if the kernel uses it
<ijuz__> i also don't have one
<dkettman> ok ..so that isnt important
#ubuntu-laptop 2007-08-18
<dkettman> Hmm whats interesting is in the busybox shell, there isnt a /dev/disk directory ..
<dkettman> It has to be a driver issue...
<dkettman> I'm going to try changing the e2label on the drive to see if I can get it to work ..
<ijuz__> does it find the disk?
<dkettman> Or .. better yet, just specify the acutal disk :)
<ijuz__> yes :)
<dkettman> Trying that ..
<dkettman> hanging again
<ijuz__> probably it's just a bug, does it find any disk at all?
<dkettman> Waiting for busybox again
<dkettman> If it cant find /dev/hda1, then there is an issue ..
<ijuz__> uhm... most likely it's sda1
<dkettman> Not on this one .. when I ran mount it showed up as /dev/hda1
<ijuz__> ok
<dkettman> and in the initramfs(busybox) there is no /dev/disk/*, /dev/hd*, /dev/sd*
<ijuz__> but there is some other stuff in /dev ?
<dkettman> lots of pty, tty, and some others
<dkettman> no disk-looking devices though ..
<dkettman> this is really weird .. I'm going to compare the two config files because when I ran make oldconfig, it asked me about some options not present in 2.6.22
<dkettman> Going to re-burn the Fiesty Fawn CD (left it at home) and see if it works while in live
<dkettman> just as a shot in the dar
<dkettman> er dark

<Lhademmor> I'll see if I can figure it out...
<Lhademmor> But I'm testing from installed Feisty, not from a Live-CD. Does that make a difference?
<Nailor> Not really
<Nailor> The information we prefer is how the installed system works
<Lhademmor> Ok, cool. I'm on it. First one off, the middle-mouse-button is broken - I'll see if I can figure out how to report that
<Nailor> Check out the wiki page (http://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam) for more info
<Nailor> You should check if your laptop is being tested already
<Lhademmor> It seems not..
<Nailor> ok
<Nailor> Then you should just copy the testing template to be used for it
<Lhademmor> I'll work on it :)
<Lhademmor> I have a dream.... About a Ubuntu Wiki which is updated and contains up-to-date and relevant information. I'll start here.

<basvg> hi all ... I'm just about to get myself an Eee 1000 (with ssd). I can't seem to figure out online if eee-ubuntu will run on it. Any succes stories there?
<basvg> the 901 seems to have its issues
<basvg> and another question is: is 'regular' ubuntu my best bet? or eee-ubuntu?

<taromsn> I'm trying to install Ubuntu on a IBM Thinkpad T30, but it's hanging on "Installing system, 15%, Detecting file systems..." There's no noise coming from the laptop anymore
<crimsun> using the live, alternate, or server image?
<crimsun> and which version, 8.04.1?
<taromsn> Live
<taromsn> Um, the version that's on the get ubuntu page
<crimsun> so, 8.04.1
<taromsn> I guess so
<crimsun> can you reproduce the hang with the alternate installer image?
<taromsn> Twa
<taromsn> I'll try now
<taromsn> I'm running the current install in graphics safe mode, it didn't run well under the normal mode
<taromsn> Ok, the install went fine with the alternate
<taromsn> Someone else on the internet reported issues with the same laptop, but everything looks fine for me so far
<taromsn> Thanks
<taromsn> Ok, I got Ubuntu running on my Thinkpad T30, but I can't get wireless networking to work.  I think it has an internal wireless card, it seems to come with an 802.11b Cisco card, but I'm not sure.  How can I check to see that there is, in fact, a wireless card, and how can I get that card working?

<taromsn> Hey, I'm trying to install the ati.2 drivers

<taromsn> In order to get my Thinkpad T30's S-Video port to work, I'm running 8.04.1
<taromsn> Actually, nevermind, I think I figured something out
<taromsn> Ok
<taromsn> So I did this :tar zxvf ATI-4.3.0-X.i386.tar.gz
<taromsn> But I don't know where to go next, it says to "install ALL of ati.2 binaries" but I'm not so sure what that means

<Bytor4232> Hey guys, I just reloaded my laptop, and wanted to know if I should be worried about the load_cycle issue that was out almost a year ago.
<Bytor4232> Yup.  Apparently so.
<Bytor4232> I applied this fix:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5031046&postcount=3
<Bytor4232> I was getting 50 to 100 load cycles every five or 10 minutes.
<Bytor4232> Now I'm getting about five or 10 on battery.
<Bytor4232> None on AC

<paradyne> hi folks
<paradyne> anyone awake?
<paradyne> I can see that this isn't support, so I will prefix this with "I've been to the main channel, but there is not a soul there who has an idea of how to fix this issue"
<paradyne> Using a Dell Inspiron 700m, I'm noticing (through googling as well) that Laptops are not responding will to 8.04
<paradyne> there seems to be an issue around installing using SATA modules for an IDE chipset
<paradyne> help?
<paradyne> UnNaturalHigh: hello neighbour
<UnNaturalHigh> hi
<paradyne> Calgary, eh?
<paradyne> me too
<UnNaturalHigh> sweet, where abouts?
<paradyne> Marda Loop
<UnNaturalHigh> ahhh, right by mt royal
<paradyne> you?
<paradyne> you bet
<UnNaturalHigh> I live in Royal Oak
<paradyne> nice
<paradyne> are you in the know re: ubuntu on a laptop?
<UnNaturalHigh> yes I am
<paradyne> I've been through the main chan, but ended up giving more support than I was getting
<paradyne> mind if I ask you a brain scratcher?
<UnNaturalHigh> yea, #ubuntu is near useless for everything but installation and basic configuration
<UnNaturalHigh> sure
<paradyne> installed 8.04 today, ran for a little while, then my Dell Inspiron 710M froze
<paradyne> rebooted, ran a terminal with top to see if XORG was hanging, not the case
<UnNaturalHigh> okay
<UnNaturalHigh> dmesg?
<paradyne> nothing useful there yet
<UnNaturalHigh> anything strange in that?
<UnNaturalHigh> saying something froze is not really much information
<paradyne> rebooted to just the terminal, and ran dpkg --configure-a to finish the updates
<UnNaturalHigh> tail -f /var/log/messages <-- also useful
<paradyne> terminal starts spitting out "Exception Emask" errors
<UnNaturalHigh> this is a fresh install?
<paradyne> you bet
<UnNaturalHigh> 8.04.1?
<paradyne> actually, not sure
<UnNaturalHigh> dbl check
<paradyne> downloaded from the main ubuntu page on friday
<paradyne> kernel is 2.6.24-19
<UnNaturalHigh> hmmm....most likely is
<paradyne> so, did some googling around exception emask errors
<UnNaturalHigh> has your laptop frozen since the original occurrence?
<paradyne> many times
<paradyne> I'm booted off the live cd right now
<UnNaturalHigh> does it freeze from the live cd?
<paradyne> nope
<paradyne> beauty of running from a ramdisk
<paradyne> I would venture
<UnNaturalHigh> not at all
<UnNaturalHigh> essentially running from live cd and from the hard disk is that same
<UnNaturalHigh> *the
<UnNaturalHigh> have you done an integrity check of your ubuntu cd?
<paradyne> yup
<paradyne> everything is a-ok
<paradyne> so, I did an lspci, and had confirmed that this laptop is an IDE chipset
<paradyne> the exception emask errors are mentioning sata
<paradyne> so I'm wondering if the 8.04.1 install is forcing sata modules even though ide is the right one...
<paradyne> ?
<UnNaturalHigh> no, ubuntu just uses sata naming conventions for both sata/ide
<paradyne> ah
<paradyne> ok, well that takes care of that curiousity
<UnNaturalHigh> have you tried doing a complete reinstall to see if something strange maybe happened during install?
<paradyne> I did
<paradyne> same thing
<UnNaturalHigh> wow
<UnNaturalHigh> this is indeed strange
<paradyne> error only occurs when the hard drive is under "load"
<paradyne> eg: apt-get upgrade or running the update manager
<paradyne> I can feel the laptop starting to grind to a halt as my mouse movements get slow, my keyboard input sometimes doesn't take, and I cannot switch between windows
<UnNaturalHigh> god, I don't even really know what to say it sounds like you are having a lot of problems
<UnNaturalHigh> have you considered trying another distro
<UnNaturalHigh> such as Fedora
<UnNaturalHigh> ?
<paradyne> I've got my Woody disc here, but it's always such a chore to configure X myself...
<paradyne> so here's what I'm thinking: download 7.10 and be happy until 8.10 comes out
<paradyne> or
<paradyne> re-install xp
<UnNaturalHigh> you could try to chroot into your ubuntu system from the live cd
<UnNaturalHigh> then update it
<paradyne> you're going to have to talk me through that one...
<UnNaturalHigh> this is what you do
<UnNaturalHigh> mkdir /mnt/ubuntu
<paradyne> k
<UnNaturalHigh> I don't know your partition layout, you will have to tell me
<paradyne> '/dev/sda2 is the root partition
<paradyne> and it's mounted at /media/disk right now
<UnNaturalHigh> ie. /dev/sda1 /boot, /dev/sda2 swap,  /dev/sda3 /, /dev/sda4 /home, etc.
<UnNaturalHigh> I need to know all of the partitions
<UnNaturalHigh> you will then need to ensure all of them are initially unmounted
<paradyne> '/dev/sda1 is swap, /dev/sda2 is root, and that's it
<paradyne> unmounted sda2
<UnNaturalHigh> are you sure that is it?
<UnNaturalHigh> fdisk -l
<UnNaturalHigh> double check
<paradyne> positive
<paradyne> /dev/sda1               1         729     5855661   82  Linux swap / Solaris
<paradyne> /dev/sda2             730        9729    72292500   83  Linux
<UnNaturalHigh> for future reference and I would suggest you do it know, you should separate you /boot and /home paritions
<UnNaturalHigh> and this is the reason for it
<UnNaturalHigh> your should run your boot partition with ext2 and not have it mount unless needed (speed for the first and security for the second)
<UnNaturalHigh> and your /home partition should be separate as it usually gets written to much more often plus holds all your personal configuration files
<paradyne> hmm... never knew this
<UnNaturalHigh> let me double check how big my / partition is
<UnNaturalHigh> /boot (128mb), / (15GB), swap (50% of your ram in size), /home (whatever is left)
<UnNaturalHigh> checking...
<paradyne> fair enough
<paradyne> if/when I reformat, I will re-partition
<UnNaturalHigh> plus if you ever want to change distros or due a fresh install /home is separate and it shouldn't affect your preferences really afterwards
<paradyne> just goes to show how much of a creature of habit I am
<UnNaturalHigh> ?
<UnNaturalHigh> why is that?
<paradyne> been doing this since 2.2.14
<paradyne> in anycase...
<paradyne> you were mentioning chroot'ing
<UnNaturalHigh> well really you should have /opt /usr and /var also separate
<UnNaturalHigh> yes
<UnNaturalHigh> okay
<paradyne> or should I just do a fresh install?
<UnNaturalHigh> it is entirely up to you
<UnNaturalHigh> I don't really care
<paradyne> (though it was still cratering then, too)
<paradyne> k
<paradyne> keep 'er going then
<UnNaturalHigh> umount /dev/sda2
<UnNaturalHigh> mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ubuntu
<UnNaturalHigh> mount -t proc none /mnt/ubuntu/proc
<UnNaturalHigh> mount --bind /dev /mnt/gentoo/dev
<UnNaturalHigh> oops
<UnNaturalHigh> sorry
<UnNaturalHigh> forget the last line
<UnNaturalHigh> mount --bind /dev /mnt/ubuntu/dev
<UnNaturalHigh> should be ubuntu :P
<paradyne> mount: mount point /mnt/ubuntu/proc does not exist
<UnNaturalHigh> did you mount /dev/sda2 /mnt/ubuntu
<UnNaturalHigh> linux cannot work with out proc
<paradyne> /dev/sda2              69G  180M   65G   1% /mnt/ubuntu
<paradyne> yup, mounted to /mnt/ubuntu
<UnNaturalHigh> ls -al /mnt/ubuntu
<UnNaturalHigh> show me the output
<paradyne> cdrom, etc, lost+found, media, var
<paradyne> odd
<paradyne> no proc
<UnNaturalHigh> something is seriously wrong with your install
<paradyne> wee
<UnNaturalHigh> you are missing many important directories
<paradyne> yeah... where's bin?
<paradyne> bin's the life of the party
<UnNaturalHigh> or /usr for that matter
<UnNaturalHigh> or /live
<UnNaturalHigh> /lib
<paradyne> so... I think I'm going to attempt a re-install tomorrow
<paradyne> this is way too much like work for a sunday night
<UnNaturalHigh> you might wanna download a new cd, check it against the md5 sum
<paradyne> that's a smart idea
<UnNaturalHigh> burn it and then verify it with the burn utility
<UnNaturalHigh> I have a feeling your cd is messed up
<UnNaturalHigh> I have had that problem with other linux distros
<paradyne> weird
<UnNaturalHigh> or put ubuntu a usb key and install
<UnNaturalHigh> super fast to install from a usb key
<paradyne> net install?
<UnNaturalHigh> no
<paradyne> lean install, then/
<paradyne> ?
<paradyne> well... thanks for the help
<paradyne> gotta turn it in for the night
<UnNaturalHigh> actually just stick with a new live cd
<UnNaturalHigh> later
<paradyne> I'll likely be back tomorrow
<UnNaturalHigh> cool
<paradyne> nite, and thanks again
<UnNaturalHigh> I will check in
<UnNaturalHigh> np
