| sean5446 | hey im trying to install ubuntu and 8.04 gives me busybox, 9.04 goes to a black screen with blinking white cursor | 03:57 |
| ara | good morning all! | 07:29 |
| === fader|away is now known as fader_ | ||
| davmor3 | hello | 14:07 |
| davmor2 | davmor3: that seems to work | 14:07 |
| davmor2 | hello | 14:07 |
| davmor2 | morning cgregan | 14:48 |
| cgregan | davmor2: good morning! | 14:51 |
| davmor2 | cgregan: karmic has flashing lights on the wifi switch on the acer aspire one :) It made me a saddeningly happy bunny | 14:53 |
| cgregan | hehe | 14:54 |
| cgregan | My wifi light blinked into existence when I updated too | 14:54 |
| fader_ | Sheesh. Mine has been blinking nonstop since Jaunty. | 14:54 |
| * fader_ mutters something about "newbies". | 14:55 | |
| * davmor2 bitch slaps fader_ while he isn't lookin' :P | 14:55 | |
| fader_ | Hmm, maybe I do like davmor3 better than davmor2... | 14:56 |
| fader_ | sudo apt-get purge davmor2 | 14:56 |
| davmor2 | fader_: check out the info on davmor3 | 14:57 |
| davmor2 | fader_: real name should tickle you | 14:57 |
| fader_ | Heh, 'evil twin' indeed. I don't think there's a 'good twin' in there :) | 14:57 |
| fader_ | Ah! I get it... you're actually triplets! davmor1 was the good one! | 14:58 |
| * davmor3 kicks fader_ in the nuts for insinuating that davmor2 isn't the good twin | 14:58 | |
| fader_ | Hehe... I'm going to be in the hospital by the time this day is over | 14:58 |
| * davmor3 slowly reverses the car over fader_ while he's rolling on the floor | 14:59 | |
| fader_ | You've been taking lessons from my ex, haven't you? | 15:00 |
| davmor3 | no current ;) | 15:01 |
| fader_ | Heh | 15:02 |
| davmor3 | just teasing dude no need to get that confused :) | 15:05 |
| fader_ | Nah, no worries :) I just decided not to escalate it by calling your bluff and shipping my Significant Other over to you to teach you a lesson ;) | 15:08 |
| melissawm | hello! | 16:25 |
| davmor2 | hello | 16:27 |
| melissawm | i'd really like to join karmic testing, but i have some questions | 16:33 |
| melissawm | can you guys help me? :P | 16:33 |
| davmor2 | melissawm: fire away | 16:36 |
| melissawm | ok first question | 16:39 |
| melissawm | i have /home in a separate partition | 16:40 |
| melissawm | if i install karmic in another / partition, and use the same /home, will i ruin all my config files? (i suspect yes, but...) | 16:40 |
| fader_ | melissawm: 'ruin' is a strong word, but they will get used and might be updated by newer versions of the software | 16:43 |
| melissawm | as long as there are no show stoppers (flash stops working in both versions or all my plasma gets ruined in jaunty by a bad update) i'm ok with that... | 16:43 |
| fader_ | One way to work around that is to use a different username on your karmic install, or to make a backup of your /home directory | 16:43 |
| melissawm | i should mention i'm using kubuntu | 16:44 |
| fader_ | I can't make any promises, as it is still under development :) But I haven't had any showstoppers like that moving from jaunty to karmic | 16:44 |
| melissawm | ok thanks for that :) | 16:44 |
| fader_ | (Backups are always a good idea anyway :) ) | 16:44 |
| melissawm | yes i do have 35 different backups as i'm a backup-paranoid lol | 16:45 |
| fader_ | Perfect! :D | 16:45 |
| melissawm | second question: are there any serious issues currently with 64-bit? | 16:45 |
| fader_ | 64-bit has been stable for me and I don't recall hearing about any showstoppers with it. | 16:46 |
| fader_ | The big thing to consider there is if you have any proprietary software that is 32-bit. Anything OSS is likely to be fine. | 16:46 |
| davmor2 | 64 bit is fine. kubuntu has some issues minor but annoying | 16:46 |
| melissawm | can you give me an example? | 16:47 |
| melissawm | no, i'm ok... i think the only major thing i need to have is matlab, and that only depends on java so if java is ok, i should be fine | 16:47 |
| davmor2 | arora crashes from time to time when using flash | 16:48 |
| davmor2 | there are others | 16:48 |
| melissawm | ok... so it might be better to keep a jaunty install in case anything truly bad happens | 16:49 |
| davmor2 | before you jump in and add a / partition you might want to think about trying it in vm first to be sure that it does everything you need it too | 16:49 |
| melissawm | hm good idea, hadn't thought about that | 16:49 |
| melissawm | is there a how to or should i just install it in virtualbox or something? | 16:50 |
| fader_ | I don't know of any specific howtos... it should be pretty straightforward if you know how to use virtualbox already | 16:54 |
| melissawm | ok | 16:54 |
| fader_ | With the added benefit that you don't have to burn a CD to test it, as virtualbox can read the ISO image :) | 16:54 |
| melissawm | sure.. | 16:58 |
| melissawm | ok | 16:58 |
| melissawm | i guess that's what i wanted to know.. thanks a lot :) | 16:58 |
| fader_ | melissawm: No problem... good luck :) | 16:58 |
| fader_ | Remember to file bugs if you find problems ;) | 16:58 |
| melissawm | sure! | 16:59 |
| davmor2 | fader_: if? don't you mean when | 16:59 |
| melissawm | i'll be back _when_ i have problems :P | 16:59 |
| fader_ | davmor2: Nah, I'm pretty sure they got the last one yesterday. | 16:59 |
| melissawm | lol | 16:59 |
| sean5446 | hey is it bad if i install ubuntu on an extended partition? | 17:00 |
| fader_ | melissawm: Great, testers are always welcome :) | 17:00 |
| melissawm | ok! see you around guys, have a nice day/night | 17:00 |
| davmor2 | fader_: is that the fragrant smell of the farm outside or bulls**t that your speaking I can smell ;) | 17:00 |
| fader_ | sean5446: Nope, extended partitions should be fine. I believe I heard somewhere that some older BIOSes have trouble booting from them but I've never had that happen to me | 17:00 |
| sean5446 | ok thanks | 17:01 |
| fader_ | davmor2: Oh behave :P | 17:01 |
| davmor2 | fader_: What? I'm only saying what everyone else was wishing they'd got in first :) | 17:05 |
| fader_ | ... can't let him see me cry... :'( | 17:07 |
| * davmor2 hugs fader_ to cheer him up, well that or scare the crap out of him so he stops crying | 17:08 | |
| davmor2 | fader_: hows the automated stuff going dude? | 17:12 |
| fader_ | davmor2: Shaky at the moment... one of the tests is broken and preventing us from getting results. But cr3 is all over it, so I have faith that we'll have it working again soon :) | 17:13 |
| davmor2 | :( | 17:14 |
| * davmor2 thinks he might run out of time to test and then it'll all be on fader_'s shoulders ;) | 17:15 | |
| fader_ | My shoulders are weak | 17:16 |
| davmor2 | fader_: can you try something quick for me please? In a fresh karmic goto rhythmbox and click on magnatune select blind divine. then click on a track. It should throw up codec search but then actually look for gstreamer_input rather than mp3 I think is the bug | 17:49 |
| fader_ | davmor2: Sure, give me a minute and I'll verify | 17:50 |
| davmor2 | thanks | 17:50 |
| fader_ | "The requested plugins are: Gstreamer element input-selector" | 17:56 |
| fader_ | Yeah, seeing that here as well | 17:56 |
| sbeattie | davmor2: I'm seeing that post-upgrade as well. | 17:58 |
| * sbeattie went insane and upgraded his laptop to karmic last night | 17:59 | |
| sbeattie | davmor2: also, can you try any radio streams? They're not working at all for me. | 17:59 |
| * davmor2 slaps sbeattie then himself for remembering he's already done his netbook :) | 17:59 | |
| davmor2 | sbeattie: I get the same thing input-selector so it's finding the streams if that helps | 18:01 |
| davmor2 | tea time | 18:01 |
| davmor2 | back soon | 18:01 |
| sbeattie | davmor2: hrm, .pls files aren't understood here, I get a "couldn't determine type of stream" error | 18:02 |
| sbeattie | The input thing I find if I try playing a secons song, it works. | 18:03 |
| fader_ | sbeattie: Streaming works for me... | 18:06 |
| fader_ | At least on my laptop, which already has the MP3 codec | 18:07 |
| sbeattie | fader_: can you try playing http://kexp-mp3-128k.cac.washington.edu:8000/listen.pls ? | 18:09 |
| fader_ | sbeattie: Works for me when added to Rhythmbox as a new radio station | 18:10 |
| sbeattie | hrm, I deleted it and re-added and it still didn't work. I can play mp3s locally, and if I add http://kexp-mp3-128k.cac.washington.edu:8000/ (the url inside of the listen.pls file) it plays that as well. | 18:11 |
| fader_ | sbeattie: Did you upgrade to karmic or wipe and install? | 18:12 |
| sbeattie | upgrade. wipe and install is for wusses. | 18:12 |
| fader_ | Heh :) | 18:13 |
| sbeattie | aka sane people. | 18:13 |
| fader_ | That's the same thing I did though | 18:13 |
| fader_ | Though I haven't done an apt-get upgrade in probably 3-4 days | 18:14 |
| fader_ | Hmm, looks like my gstreamer* and rhythmbox are up to date though | 18:15 |
| davmor2 | fader_: so it's just your taste in music that isn't then just like me :) | 18:17 |
| fader_ | davmor2: My taste in music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Psfn6iOfS8 | 18:19 |
| fader_ | (Which is admittedly less likely to be as funny to those outside of the US) | 18:19 |
| davmor2 | fader_: I stand by my earlier comment weirdo | 18:21 |
| sbeattie | I'm partial to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3CmXGKXOmk but a UK resident like davmor2 might appreciate http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1vwKZiDsY4 (all in the interests of exercising the flash plugin of course :-) ) | 18:36 |
| davmor2 | sbeattie, fader_: how do these guys have the time to put things like that together? | 18:45 |
| fader_ | Who knew Tony Blair could sing? | 18:54 |
