d_ven0m 2017-03-04 18:51:16
KarmicRad: are you dual-booting?
KarmicRad 2017-03-04 18:51:47
yeah I want to
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 18:52:29
KarmicRad: have you already cleared partitions out for ubuntu?
KarmicRad 2017-03-04 18:52:56
yeah I am all set but I cant click english and continue becasue of the keyboard and mouse being bluetooth
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 18:53:51
That's kind of weird, I've never had problems with that. Ubuntu usually loads the BT driver if it detects them
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 18:54:11
Worst case scenario, you'll need to plug in a wired set of devices
KarmicRad 2017-03-04 18:54:35
thats what I was thinking but I dont have any
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 18:55:00
Does the keyboard at least work? or do you not have access to any peripherals?
KarmicRad 2017-03-04 18:55:19
No keyboard no mouse
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 18:56:14
Damn you might be beat, unless Ubuntu has remote ssh installation capability
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 18:57:49
In any case, just make sure that you have your partitions ready and set up from OS X first
KarmicRad 2017-03-04 18:58:06
yeah I did all that
KarmicRad 2017-03-04 18:58:22
good to go but I am stuck
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 18:59:28
Like I said, I've usually not had problems using BT devices as Linux usually loads the drivers if it detects their use
KarmicRad 2017-03-04 18:59:50
thanks bro
KarmicRad 2017-03-04 19:00:01
you were of no help :-)
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:00:15
I suppose you could try to create an image of Ubuntu with BT manually inserted into the kernel
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:00:18
Sorry :(
KarmicRad 2017-03-04 19:00:26
my batteries were real low so perthey shut down or something stupid happened
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:01:04
Could be, I've had that happen to me before
KarmicRad 2017-03-04 19:01:15
thats kind of what I was thinkng...might be a command or something that might do it
KarmicRad 2017-03-04 19:01:43
I am going to try new batteries as that is much easier than finding a corded keyboard or mouse in this house
KarmicRad 2017-03-04 19:02:03
eithway I will be back and let you know
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:02:13
Sounds good
thyriaen 2017-03-04 19:09:39

anirbaan 2017-03-04 19:19:22
no idea how efi works.
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:20:57
anirbaan: You have an efi partition, yes?
anirbaan 2017-03-04 19:21:43
d_ven0m: how do I check that I have an efi partition?
baizon 2017-03-04 19:22:36
anirbaan: sudo fdisk -l
baizon 2017-03-04 19:22:55
anirbaan: or use the ubuntu disk program, or gparted
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:23:00
anirbaan: you can also use parted as well
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:24:06
anirbaan: I like to use parted when I am looking for certain partitions, just do "parted /dev/sda" or whatever your desired disk is, and then type "print". It should show you your partitions
gaurav42 2017-03-04 19:25:24
can I connect Ubuntu client to windows server and open site from windows server ?
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:25:28
anirbaan: Now are you multi-booting or are you going for a fresh install?
baizon 2017-03-04 19:25:52
gaurav42: with remote desktop for example
anirbaan 2017-03-04 19:26:45
d_ven0m: I used systemback to move a system, but when I boot that moved system, I got this issue
anirbaan 2017-03-04 19:27:03
d_ven0m: and the parted result is , http://paste.ubuntu.com/24115906/
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:27:27
anirbaan: I am not familiar with systemback
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:27:54
anirbaan: It doesn't look like you have an efi partition
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:28:16
anirbaan: You're using MBR
anirbaan 2017-03-04 19:28:22
d_ven0m: dont worry, now it is an installed system with efi grub issue, I think we just need to fix this if possible :)
anirbaan 2017-03-04 19:28:56
d_ven0m: so what next? I am to do to fix the grub?
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:29:05
anirbaan: Is this the only OS on the disk?
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:29:46
anirbaan: or are you attempting to dual-boot with Windows?
anirbaan 2017-03-04 19:29:49
d_ven0m: I am on a live env now as that system is not booting
anirbaan 2017-03-04 19:30:09
d_ven0m: no, no dual boot
JFox762 2017-03-04 19:30:17
What is the best way to develope a script to switch audio sources with a touch of a button?
JFox762 2017-03-04 19:30:35
Essentially, I have a dual monitor setup where my 2nd monitor is a mirrored TV
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:30:47
anirbaan: Ok, then you can probably forget about EFI altogether and just use the MBR scheme
anirbaan 2017-03-04 19:31:27
d_ven0m: how to tell the grub to use mbr while installing?
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:34:35
anirbaan: You should be able to use "sudo grub-install /dev/sdX" where sdX is your desired drive
Bashing-om 2017-03-04 19:34:36
anirbaan: In this case we need to know which partiton contains root . ' df -h ' will tell .
gaurav42 2017-03-04 19:37:22
baizon: I need to connect more client of Ubuntu
Raj_ 2017-03-04 19:37:47
i have an ubuntu 14.04
Raj_ 2017-03-04 19:38:24
when i starting to installation my screen brightness is very low
anirbaan 2017-03-04 19:38:38
d_ven0m: using the traditional method stuck on this http://paste.ubuntu.com/24115884/
Raj_ 2017-03-04 19:39:37
brightness not controlled by setting
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:40:22
anirbaan: output of 'df -h' ?
shanky_ 2017-03-04 19:40:46
hey can someone tell which is goos VMware or Virtualbox?
anirbaan 2017-03-04 19:41:21
d_ven0m: Bashing-om v
anirbaan 2017-03-04 19:41:25
d_ven0m: Bashing-om http://paste.ubuntu.com/24115969/
Bashing-om 2017-03-04 19:41:31
anirbaan: "boot-directory=/mnt/boot" wrong ! you do not have a separate boot partition . we need to identify the correct target .
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:41:35
shanky_: personal preference, both do virtualization well. I use Virtualbox
anirbaan 2017-03-04 19:43:30
Bashing-om: I am rescuing the system of sda1, so I mounted the sda1 to /mnt
d_ven0m 2017-03-04 19:44:13
anirbaan: "sudo grub-install /dev/sda --boot-directory=/dev/sda1" assuming your root dir is sda1 I believe
