[09:25] <NoWhereMan> sorry for the ot, I have to clean up a compaq laptop using its master cd... do you know if those cds reset also the partition table?
[09:26] <Burgundavia> NoWhereMan: yes, they will destroy any data on the system, usually
[09:27] <NoWhereMan> Burgundavia, I mean if I have 4 partitions, two of which are with linux, can you say if it is going to merge them back with the first, as it was at the beginning?
[09:28] <Burgundavia> those cds wipe the entire drive and reimage it
[09:29] <NoWhereMan> thank you
[09:30] <Burgundavia> what do you need todo?
[09:37] <NoWhereMan> restore a compaq pc to its original state
[09:37] <NoWhereMan> to give it away
[10:49] <NoWhereMan> would you install at this time edgy on a new laptop? i mean.... anyway it's going out on october... i can't wait all this time to install linux :D
[10:49] <Fujitsu> NoWhereMan, things are liable to break, so don't install it if you need to use the laptop and can't stand breakage.
[10:51] <NoWhereMan> Fujitsu, I remember I installed dapper on its last months of testing and I didn't find any harm. Is it edgy so "edgy"? :p
[10:52] <Fujitsu> NoWhereMan, breakage is fairly rare at the moment, although some major things do occasionally break. If you were OK testing Dapper, it shouldn't be too different with Edgy.
[10:52] <Fujitsu> Although big things like OpenOffice.org saving are broken at the moment.
[10:52] <NoWhereMan> O.o
[10:52] <Treenaks> Fujitsu: sounds like some shareware I know :)
[10:52] <NoWhereMan> eve OOo
[10:52] <Fujitsu> Treenaks, ?
[10:52] <NoWhereMan> *even
[10:53] <Treenaks> Fujitsu: In the old days, one of the ways shareware used to ensure you'd pay was by being crippled... like unable to use the 'Save' function
[10:53] <Fujitsu> True.
[10:56] <NoWhereMan> is it tcl/tk8.5 in edgy? i guess no
[10:57] <Fujitsu> There's no tcl8.5 in Edgy, no.
[10:58] <NoWhereMan> ok, i'll have to compile again :p
[10:58] <NoWhereMan> how did they break "save" in OOo ??? :D
[10:59] <Fujitsu> NoWhereMan, dbus had an ABI change, so it crashes when displaying the save dialog... When the next upload/build occurs, it'll be fixed.
[11:00] <NoWhereMan> oh! i see now
[11:01] <NoWhereMan> well I'd wait at least for this to fix... or I'll have to d/l OOo twice...
[09:43] <offmesssage> can anyone help with a dapper netboot problem?
[09:44] <offmesssage> my screen blacks out after downloading all the packages
[09:44] <offmesssage> i've found a few other people reporting it, but no solution
[09:44] <offmesssage> i was wondering if anyone here knew what i might be able to do to get round it?
[09:46] <Nailor_> Weird
[09:59] <simira> offmesssage: try on 
[09:59] <simira> #ubuntu
[09:59] <simira> this is not a support-channel, as topic says
[09:59] <offmesssage> oops
[09:59] <offmesssage> sorry :)
[09:59] <offmesssage> will do
[10:06] <rizo> anyone have their suspend to disk stop working after doing a clean install of knot-2? was working fine in dapper :(
[10:29] <rizo> well at least suspend to mem works now :o
