| Pelo | knix, open imprss from the menu > office> openoffice presentation, then open your PP from there I think |
| arkanabar | Can anyone explain how gksu could lose authentication protocols? |
| Jordan_U | knix__, DVD players don't read powerpoint presentations, or maybe I am misunderstanding |
| foutrelis | ubuntu-rocks: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the line about the cd. :) |
| ZeroA4 | ubuntu-rocks, yes. disable the CD as a source |
| knix__ | Jordan_U, correct, but there is a way to convert it |
| ZeroA4 | blind, mkfs |
| Pelo | ubuntu-rocks, sudo apt-get update then run the install command again |

| EmotiOn | hey, sorry i'm a pretty big nub, but can someone help me install ubuntu or xubuntu on an old laptop |
| blindside | anyway im trying to install ubuntu but it stops at 15% when it says its detecting partitions |
| andruk | i added a scsi controller and hdd, how do i get ubuntu to see it? |
| Pelo | ubuntu-rocks, sudo then |
| blindside | it doesnt show an error it just doesnt do anything further |
| foutrelis | ubuntu-rocks: sudo pico then :) |
| miso | My hdd is split into two partitions and I just installed xp on one of them. I want to install ubuntu on the other.. where can I find instructions on how to do this safely? |
| Pelo | ubuntu-rocks, do not edit your sources list , you donT' need to just update |
| arkanabar | ubuntu-rocks gksu is gui as is gedit. try sudo nano instead of gksu gedit. |
| EmotiOn | hey, sorry i'm a pretty big nub, but can someone help me install ubuntu or xubuntu on an old laptop |
| blindside | Miso: just put the cd in and choose to manually partition |
| Pelo | Miso, the installer in the live cd will direct you very easily you donT' need any special instructions |
| yanger | emotion, use the alternate install cd |
| arkanabar | miso -- install CD should be able to detect and install on your second partition. |
| EmotiOn | i'll give that a shot the problem is every time i use the regular cd after clicking install ubuntu or whatever it takes forever to load |
| miso | how do i choose what operating system to boot into after installing ubuntu? |
| EmotiOn | and if it does finish loading |
