alteregoalol00:11
alteregoaits ok dude00:11
alteregoafsck doesnt know about your disk00:11
alteregoait doesnt heal your disk dude00:12
alteregoaits smart self monitoring analysis reporting tool SMART00:12
alteregoayour harddisk told the OS that she's gonna die00:12
iPoRnthe thing is, on the Palimsest program, it says that a have damaged sectors00:12
alteregoayeah00:12
iPoRnmy disk is going to die? ;o00:13
alteregoathats a message from your harddrive00:13
iPoRnnot again ;<00:13
alteregoayes she is dying00:13
alteregoaget a 24/7 harddisk, not those cheap crap shitachis or samsucks00:13
iPoRnis it normal, to last only one year?00:13
alteregoayes00:13
alteregoabecause some of them are real crap00:14
iPoRnbtw, for a laptop, what do you think is a good one?00:14
alteregoatake a look to the prices, do you think a disk could be good for just 50 bucks?00:14
iPoRnthis one cost me near 100 euros00:15
alteregoaget a seagate00:15
alteregoa500gb seagate or something00:15

alteregoabuy the 7200.400:37
alteregoathose first 320gb series with perpendicular recording sucks00:37
alteregoathe 2nd series are reliable, they are used in blades00:38
RagnarokAngelalright so I get quite the error w/ my dual screen setup on the -7 kernel that I don't get on the -600:40
RagnarokAngelI think X crashes00:42
RagnarokAngelthough, I'm not spit back to a terminal00:42
RagnarokAngelso00:42
RagnarokAngelit might be more sinister...00:42
DanaGSame here.00:47
DanaG-7 kernel crashes on trying to start Xorg.00:48
DanaGI've tried fglrx, radeon, fbdev, and vesa... all of them crash.00:48
RagnarokAngelwell, it starts just fine for my regular screen00:48
RagnarokAngelbut00:48
DanaGoh yeah, newegg newsletter is way handy, speaking of hard drives.00:48
RagnarokAngeltrying to do both my laptop screen and the 1920x1080 external crashes it.00:48
iPoRnalteregoa, sorry to be such a pain in the butt, but you mean this one's right: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/laptops/momentus/momentus_7200.4/00:49
RagnarokAngelat least when I'm trying to get them to do an unmirror display00:49
DanaGActually, I liked my old 200GB Hitachi 7K200 better than I like my newer Seagate ST9250421AS (250GB 7200RPM drive) -- the older drive was way faster at spinning up from a stopped state.00:49
DanaGOld one took like a third to a half of a second; new one takes more like 3/4 of a second.00:50
iPoRnmy issue is: im killing an HD in each year ;x00:51
DanaGhow d'you manage that?00:51
RagnarokAngeliPoRn: if you've got lots of money to blow you could go w/ a SSD00:51
DanaGToo bad they're currently horribly expensive.00:52
iPoRni dont ;p00:52
DanaG200 gigs for 300 bucks... that's the price point I'm waiting for.00:52
DanaGOr even 200 gigs for 350 bucks.00:53
iPoRnwestern digital, is any good?00:54
DanaGbeats me.  check storagereview.com and silentpcreview.com.00:54
RagnarokAngelDanaG: whoah. I paid 100 bucks for a TB from seagate....00:55
geniiiPoRn: wd isn't horrible00:55
RagnarokAngelDanaG: now, the enclosure failed on me... But hopefully the drive is still good00:55
giovani200GB for $300?00:56
giovanion what planet?00:56
giovanior rather, in what year?00:56
RagnarokAngelyeah, that's what I was thinking...00:56
RagnarokAngelYou can do better with SSD :-p00:56
giovanithe current price point for standard HDs now is 6-8 cents/GB00:58
DanaGThat's what I meant... I want SSDs to reach that price point.  =þ00:58
giovaniwhy do you need/want a SSD that large?00:59
DanaGNot necessarily the same as current hard drives... but not fiendishly expensive would be nice.00:59
RagnarokAngelgiovani: because you can.00:59
giovanithat's a bad reason01:00
DanaGBecause I have lots of stuff to store.01:00
giovaniplace the right data on the right drive01:00
RagnarokAngelgiovani: because I want instant access to all of my data.01:00
giovaniDanaG: you should not being using a SSD for regular data storage01:00
DanaGAnd I like to keep it allllll with me.01:00
geniiI recall paying $2400 for 3 SCSI-3 drives01:00
giovaniit's a complete waste01:00
giovaniDanaG: I have about 20TB of personal storage ... there's no reason for it to be SSD01:00
RagnarokAngelgiovani: I'm jealous. hXc.01:00
giovaniI'd put an OS on a SSD01:00
DanaGI like to carry my music and videos and such with me.01:01
giovanimaybe some database storage01:01
giovaniDanaG: you're a fool01:01
DanaGWhy?01:01
giovaniyou should not be using SSDs for that kind of data for a long time (until they become dirt cheap)01:01
geniigiovani: I have only 16Gb of storage01:01
giovaniit's a complete waste01:01
DanaGThat's why I don't have an SSD.01:01
DanaG01:01
RagnarokAngelhe's just overpaying....01:01
genii16Tb rather01:01
RagnarokAngelBLAH.01:01
RagnarokAngelI totally need more storage01:02
* DanaG roams.01:02
giovanithere's no reason to put that data on a SSD until they're the same price as HDs01:02
RagnarokAngeland am a poor college student who is living off the cloud.01:02
giovaniwhich won't be for many years01:02
DanaGI just need HP to let us buy the danged secondary drive bay WITHOUT a drive already included.01:02
DanaGRight now they charge 160 bucks for drive + bay.01:02
RagnarokAngelgiovani: I dunno, if they continue the glut we may see it drop sooner than you think....01:02
giovaniebay?01:02
DanaGAnd the drive it comes with is a 250GB 5400RPM.01:02
giovaniRagnarokAngel: nah, the manufacturing is just much more expensive01:02
DanaGhttp://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06c/A10-51210-329233-1834651-329233-3762517-3762825-3762827.html01:02
DanaGCorrection: they themselves charge 200.01:03
DanaGThird-party vendors charge more like 160.01:03
RagnarokAngelgiovani: at the rate manufacturing is changing though, I'd wager 10 MAX before SSD becomes pretty standard in laptops.01:03
giovani10 max?01:03
giovaniDanaG: why not hit ebay for a used/broken one, and swap out the drive?01:03
DanaG200 gigs for 350 bucks... that's about where I'll join in.01:04
RagnarokAngelgiovani: 10 years max01:04
giovaniyou're foolish01:04
giovaniRagnarokAngel: oh, nowhere near that long -- definitely in the next few years01:04
giovanibut they won't be the same size as normal HDs obviously01:04
RagnarokAngelgiovani: you made it sound like you were banking on a lot more!01:04
giovanieven cheap, low-end netbooks have 16GB SSDs in them01:04
RagnarokAngelDanaG: I don't understand why you're paying so much for your HDD01:05
giovaniRagnarokAngel: uh ... not at all -- maybe you misunderstood what I was talking about01:05
RagnarokAngel....01:05
RagnarokAngelgiovani: yep, I'm thinking the same thing01:05
giovaniI was talking about when it would be appropriate for standard data to sit on SSDs01:05
giovaniand that won't be for a long time01:05
giovanii.e. media storage for all of your media01:05
RagnarokAngelwhy's that01:05
giovanibecause of price point01:05
giovaniputting a 32GB SSD in a laptop isn't at all the same concept01:06
giovanithat's small, and not for storing all of your media01:06
giovanijust enough to get through a day/week/whatever01:06
giovaniAsus Eees have it right -- 16GB SSD for the OS01:06
giovaniand a HD for the data01:06
giovaniand they do that for $300 now01:06
giovaniwell, $33001:06
RagnarokAngelI'm thinking of upgrading my 900A to a bigger drive...01:07
RagnarokAngelbut01:07
RagnarokAngelI guess I don't *really* need it01:07
giovanithe point being ...01:07
RagnarokAngelbetween the 4gig and a 16 gig usb flash drive I got for free01:07
RagnarokAngelwell01:07
RagnarokAngelI have 4 gigs of space on it01:07
RagnarokAngelit's not really enough for *all* the programs I use...01:07
giovanithere's NO reason to pay twice as much (or even 1.3 as much) for a SSD to store your static media files01:07
RagnarokAngel...01:08
RagnarokAngelso I should just move my /home directory to a flash card?01:08
giovaniwhat?01:08
RagnarokAngelmy eee01:08
RagnarokAngelhas a 4 gig SSD in it01:08
RagnarokAngelwhich, if I get all the programs that I'd like to run on there01:09
RagnarokAngelis overcramped01:09
giovanireplace it with either a bigger SSD, or a HD01:09
RagnarokAngelif I just migrate my /home directory to a flash card that I leave sitting in there01:09
RagnarokAngelthe 900 isn't big enough for a HDD01:09
RagnarokAngelby any means01:09
giovaniit doesn't use a standard size?01:09
giovaniit's a proprietary flash?01:10
RagnarokAngelno, it's a standard interface01:10
giovanimy UMPC is FAR smaller than an Asus Eee and it has a 1.8" drive in it01:10
RagnarokAngelhmm01:10
giovaniyou're mistaken01:10
RagnarokAngelI guess I might be able to cram a 1.8 in there....01:10
RagnarokAngelmaybe....01:10
giovanifor gods sake ... the iPod had a real HD in it01:10
RagnarokAngelI know that01:10
RagnarokAngelhah01:10
giovaniit's 1/5th the size of your Asus01:10
RagnarokAngelyes, it is01:10
RagnarokAngelwhere is a teardown...01:11
giovaniso, unless they put a proprietary drive in there01:11
giovaniit's replaceable01:11
giovanitime for dinner01:11

BluesKajouch02:06
DanaGI just had to turn off panel background.02:06
DanaGYeah, that makes no sense... but it fixes it.02:06
DanaGheh, "package information was last updated 230 days ago."02:12
DanaG... on a system that I just updated last week.02:12
DanaGhmm, I wonder when nouveau will be able to run compiz on nv17.02:16
DanaGnvidia-glx-96 can't do anything but segfault the X server.02:16
DanaG02:17
bjsniderwon't be updated for the new kernel until october02:17
DanaGHeh, but it's been broken for like 6 months, for me.02:17
bjsnidernouveau is for newer hardware anyway02:17
DanaGEven on Karmic.02:17
DanaGnvidia binary, that is.02:17
DanaGAnd it's been on 96.43.xx for like 2 years, hasn't it?02:18
bjsniderthey don't have the programming resources on the unix team to turn that thing into a dynamo02:18
bjsniderreplacify it02:18
DanaGYeah, but I at least expect it not to segfault the X server.  =þ02:18
DanaGIt was even just as broken way back on Intrepid.02:19
bjsniderk, make sure there's no more x server or kernel development02:19
DanaGThat's not the point.02:19
DanaGEven on ones it claims to support... it still segfaults!02:19
DanaGThey've released new versions for Intrepid and Jaunty... and they still segfault.02:19
bjsnidertake up the nouveau code and write a good driver for the old hardware02:19
DanaGOr mail the old laptop I have, that has such a card, to nvidia... with a note saying: "try using this thing... you'll see how much nvidia-legacy sucks."02:20
DanaGAnd set it to auto-login with compiz enabled.02:20
bjsniderthey'd say use the recommended operating system02:20
DanaGboot.  login.  *segfault.*  login.  *segfault.*  login.  *segfault.*  login.  *segfault.*  login.  *segfault.*02:21
bjsniderwhat did it ship with? xp?02:21
DanaGI think so.02:21
bjsniderit will work with nv won't it?02:21
DanaGOh yeah, and if you use nvidia's normal drivers in Windows, you get 966x768.02:21
DanaGyeah, but no suspend or resume with nv or nouveau.02:21
DanaGAnd until recently, nouveau devoured like 80% cpu just drawing the desktop.02:22
alteregoaannot find video encoder (module:ffmpeg fourcc:mp1v)02:22

bjsniderturn the frigging thing off, don't suspend it02:22
alteregoathis sucks, its the ffmpeg stuff on ubuntu that doest work02:22
bjsniderwhy suspend something that doesn't have ECC ram?02:22
=== Cuddles is now known as Richie
DanaGMy new laptop works well enough with suspend and resume, though fglrx takes a while to resume.02:23
DanaGoh yeah, and that old laptop (toshiba 1415) has the worst possible CPU ever found in a laptop:02:23
DanaGa P4-based Celeron.02:23
DanaGCan you say... crap?  squared?02:23
bjsniderimagine if your new laptop had an nvidia 9400 m chip on it02:24
DanaGOne of my friends has an XPS M1330 laptop that idles at like 60-70 C.02:24
DanaGAnd the GPU has failed, oh, twice.02:24
DanaGoh yeah, and Toshiba is stupid to have made an EDID that claims the LCD is 966x768.02:25
alteregoai think a few packet maintainer didn't even try if those packets are compatible or workin02:25

BluesKajI dumped medibuntu today and built the svn ffmpeg version, since the unstripped libavs aren't available02:31
bjsnidergoogle's OS will bump up against the same video/sound issues all other distros have02:33
BluesKajvlc from the karmic multiverse universe repos runs ok now ,but the ffmpeg executable has to be plaxed in /usr/local/bin/ instead of /usr/bin/ , so as to prevent foul ups with package managers02:34
RagnarokAngelwhat? I've been having no problems at all using VLC...02:34
BluesKajbjsnider, if the chromium-browser is any indication ,i think google has the media issues well under control02:36
bjsnidergoogle has nothing to say about it02:37
BluesKajbeen using chromium  without any probs for 2 weeks02:37
BluesKajmost of the chromium devs are also working on the chrome OS02:38
BluesKajand they work for google02:39
bjsniderthey can't magically produce a composited desktop without the appropriate driver infrastructure, unless they apple-like maintain a stranglehold on the hardware used02:41
alteregoai use cvlc02:41

alteregoai need that stuff to transcode videos to mpeg2 for several apps02:42

alteregoawhat i have to re-install windows 7, because im mad of it03:25
alteregoado they test the packages?! i think no, they just modify it with some spaghetti code and think its ok03:25
alteregoaits like a ham radio operator, if he gets a final product (vlc and ffmpeg) they try to modify it for no reason03:27
hggdhalteregoa, if you think this sucks so much, why don't you try another distribution, instead of just ranting?03:27
alteregoano, i think its better to keep the stuff how it is, and test it before release it03:27
hggdhso why don't you do that -- testing --, and open bugs on the errors you find? You are not really helping right now03:28
IdleOnealteregoa: arent we testing?03:28

alteregoahate lol, thats kindergarten stuff03:33
hggdhalteregoa, please, either *help*, or (1) build your own version of FFMPEG, or (2) stop complaining03:34
alteregoano i put a debian repo of ffmpeg and it works03:34
alteregoacause they know it better i think03:34
hggdhgood. go debian, then. Or -- what would be better -- HELP CORRECT IT.03:35
darthanubisaudio in flash stops once an application starts audio...03:35
BluesKajhggdh, I don't think it's a bug ..i think the latest version of ffmpeg is a stripped "version" and even medibuntu doesn't carry the full version , www.ffmpeg.org the place to find the fully loaded one03:37
hggdhBluesKaj, if this is correct (and I have no reason to question it), then it is either a bug, or we are missing other updates to come in03:38
alteregoastripped, what a crap03:38
BluesKajit installs in usr/local/bin/ rather than the default /usr/bin to avoid beinf updated by the packafe managers and thereby being stripped agian03:39
hggdhwow, hold on03:39
hggdhare you stating an Ubuntu package is installing to /usr/local?03:40
BluesKajnope svn03:40
hggdhah, OK. Yes, if you ./configure without any other parameters (like --prefix=) the default install is always on /usr/local03:41
hggdhwhich is known to sometimes create some problems03:41
BluesKajyeah, i tried to prefix /usr/local for the latest VLC build but it wouldn't , I got the old familiar targer error thing with the make cmnd , so installed the multi/universe repos versuion instead03:43
BluesKajtarget error03:44
hggdhBluesKaj, a good option when building from trunk is to run ./configure --help, and look at all the parameters. Also, it is a good idea to put an equal sign03:45
BluesKaji followed the readme and the install instructions to the letter but I guess my setup wasn't right somehow03:45
alteregoacompiling....03:45
hggdhlike --prefix=/usr/bin, instead of --prefix /usr/bin03:45
BluesKajwell thx hggdh ' , I'll keep that in my liltextfile for cli cmnds :)03:49
BluesKajfortunately the multivers/universe repos version of VLC works fine right now03:50
hggdhheh03:50

SeverianThere is a warning in /boot/grub/menu.lst not to edit it.  I don't see that I have a choice, since every updates keep messing up the boot process.  Is there something I should be worried about?06:36
SwedeMikewhy does it mess up?06:39
SwedeMikethe update process uses some options from the boot file which you might want to edit so it'll be ok in the future06:40
SwedeMikelook in the "## ## Start Default Options ##" section06:40
SeverianUpdates take out the verbose option for the kernel and substitute quiet.  Ihave been saved several times because I could see what happens during boot.06:41
SeverianWhat do you mean by the boot file?  I grepped for Default in every file in /boot/grub and found nothing.06:49
xtknightSeverian, it's in /etc/grub.cfg07:00
xtknighterr07:00
xtknightno maybe in /etc/grub.d/07:00
xtknighti dont know07:00
xtknightgrub2 vs grub1 maybe07:01
SeverianI see a /etc/default/grub.   It has no default section, but maybe that is where I should add stuff.07:02

eagles0513875would that be an issue with karmic still being in dev or somethign with vbox14:26

eagles0513875its the latest version14:32
ikoniawhat are you on about that your running karmic then ?14:33
eagles0513875ikonia i said hey guys im running karmic on the latest version of vbox and for some reason its not letting me install the guest additions?14:33
ikoniaahhh I see14:34
ikoniawhat happens when you try to install ?14:34
eagles0513875it doesnt even mount them for one and the other issue is that im fighting to install this updtaed core font since it doesnt seem to resolve the url to the sf site14:34
ikoniaeagles0513875: what do you mean doesn't mount them ? can you explain where it's faling ?14:35
ikoniafailing even14:35
eagles05138752 things14:35
ikoniago for it14:36

=== Windoz7 is now known as BurningROM
eagles0513875whats failing is that cd icon doesnt show up14:38

Awsoonn_hi all, I just tried to install from the daily alt image and grub2 was installed but not configured. How might I boot the system?15:04
Awsoonn_I am sitting at grub>15:04
arandAwsoonn_: find, root and boot, afaik15:06
arandAwsoonn_: "find /boot/grub/stage1" ,, "root (hd#,#)" ,, "boot"15:08
Awsoonn_arand: yea, it says file not found T_T15:08
Awsoonn_I am able to root (hd0,0) ok15:09
BluesKajAwsoonn_, sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy15:09
Awsoonn_BluesKaj: it is a fresh install and have not yet been able to boot15:10
Awsoonn_when I do 'root (hd0,0) it does recognize the filesystem as 0x83, and the only other partion is swap.15:11
arandAwsoonn_: is grub not present on the partition (does it find /boot/grub/stage1 ? )15:13
Awsoonn_arand: grub2 was installed durring installation, but find does not work.15:13
Awsoonn_I could boot the alt cd and see if the file exists really quick15:14
BluesKajAwsoonn_ do you have a pencil handy?  ,alt+ctrl+f2 , will bring you to a TTY prompt then type :  sudo apt-get install grub2 , then , : sudo upgrade-from-grub-legacy and next : sudo grub-install , then : sudo reboot15:15
arandUm, if he doesn't get past grub he donn ave tty right?15:15

BluesKajin the terminal, yes15:16
drs305Awsoonn_: Have you tried running grub-install again?15:16

eagles0513875ikonia: what i dont understand is why is it wanting to download a font which is in .exe format15:29

BluesKajthose are windows exe files , eagles051387515:32
eagles0513875i know15:32
eagles0513875but on karmic there was an update to ttf corefont or something that its wanting to pull this .exe from sourceforge15:32
eagles0513875ikonia: hey there actuallly is a sourceforge channel in here15:32
ikoniaeagles0513875: yes, but not for that project15:33
eagles0513875ahhh15:33
BluesKajeagles0513875, sourceforge as a repos ?15:33
Awsoonn_the coorefonts package is a restricted package that has fonts inside it that are extracted and installed in ubuntu as ttf fonts.15:34
Awsoonn_I think the best thing to do is file a bug on launchpad against the package. :)15:34
BluesKajnow I'm curious15:34
eagles0513875BluesKaj: beats me but thats where the corefonts seem to come from15:35
BluesKajAwsoonn_, youshould have mentioned your raid setup, that puts a diff light on your grub2 issue15:35
Awsoonn_oh? what do ya know?15:35
darthanubiscan only play audio from one source at a time, kubuntu 9.1015:36
BluesKajI just know that raid setups are not as straightforward with grub15:36
darthanubispulseaudio is working15:37
Awsoonn_:) Of course that would be the case.... XD15:37
darthanubisenabling multicast/rtp creates a flood of network noise15:37
BluesKajonce you are booted into (k)ubuntu you can then configure grub to accomodate the raid setuo afaik15:38
Awsoonn_I THOUGHT this machine had hardware raid.... I might be mistaken now though...15:38
Awsoonn_So install to one disk, boot, them mirror to the other disk?15:38
aboSamoorthe latest updates are CRAZY, pidgin crash all the time, Compiz eat 100% CPU, Shutdown does not Power Off, I don't know where to start !15:40
* Awsoonn_ pats aboSamoor 15:40
BluesKajAwsoonn_, yes I think so , not absolutely sure ...anyone ?15:40
BluesKajAwsoonn_, however your old grub )legacy) was setup , then grub2 should work the same way15:42
stepheneshermanalpha 4 seems ok to me15:42
eagles0513875ikonia: seems the server for it have changed15:42
BluesKajAwsoonn_, did yo do the terminal cmnds for grub ?15:43
Awsoonn_I'm installing again to a single disk currently.15:43
BluesKajAwsoonn_,  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub215:44
Awsoonn_and because this is a new machine, I dont know how it would have been installed on the legacy system. :)15:44
ikoniaeagles0513875: ah, there you go15:44
BluesKajok15:44
eagles0513875what should i file a bug against15:44
darthanubiseverything is for the most part fine here. Just probably should have left kubuntu only. Phonon and pulse don't like each other. And I can't seem to play flash audio without pulseaudio installed.15:53
stepheneshermanhas anyone had alpha 4, or previous alpha version "break" their system?15:53
ikoniaeagles0513875: errr nothing15:54
ikoniaeagles0513875: it's a sourceforge problem15:54
darthanubisIt has usually been ok to run alpha til release for me, but I guess that only was because I never used Kubuntu/kde15:54
eagles0513875ikonia: could it be that the mirrors to the file have changed?15:54
darthanubisNow it seems sound is such a mess, it is unusable to any degree15:54
ikoniaeagles0513875: ask them ? it's nothing to do with ubuntu, hence no bug15:55
eagles0513875they told me that the mirrors have probably changed15:55
stepheneshermanwill alpha 5, 6, beta, and Final be installed as simple upgrades (i.e. leaving data & settings intact), or will they be totally new installs?15:57
James147stephenesherman: I think they are installed as upgrades, the snapshots are just for ppl wanted a fresh install to get the lasest less bug prones cd builds15:59
eagles0513875the problem i c with just upgrading form 9.04 to 9.10 is alot of the new stuff at least the boot loader grub 2 doesnt get installed16:00
BluesKajseems there are a some repository & application update bugs , more are becoming visible everyday as more updates come down the pipe16:02
BluesKajI've removed the medibuntu repos , for one16:02
stepheneshermaneagles0513875: (if u were addressing me) I have installed alpha 4, per the instructions. I like it, and would just as soon keep it as my home "production" machine. But not if I have to backup data and reset settings several times between now and Final 9.10.16:03
eagles0513875stephenesherman: sry misunderstood what you were saying16:03
eagles0513875if you update all the packages between now and final youll end up with the final versions of things that get released with karmic16:03
Awsoonn_does anyone get stuck on "Setting users and passwords" usign the alt install?16:04
James147stephenesherman: you shouldent have to reinstall it, but in the unlikly case you ever do i suggest having a seperate /home partition, that way you can reinstall all you like and never lose and data (unless you format the /home partition)16:04
BluesKajlooks like source code may be the way to go for media codecs and apps in the future. I suspect the MPPA and RIAA are having an influence even on the european repos hosts16:05
stepheneshermaneagles0513875: Right. Thanks.16:05
eagles0513875BluesKaj: i still install kubuntu-restricted-extras no problem with them16:06
stepheneshermanJames147: Good idea, but may be "over my pay grade." :)16:06
James147stephenesherman: ?? what do you mean?16:06
James147stephenesherman: should be no need to buy anything to to create seprate partitions16:07
stepheneshermanAnyway, it seems like Alpha 4 hasn't "broken" anyone's system, and is reliable enuf for home use.16:07
Awsoonn_Has anyone installed using today's alt cd image successfully?16:07
James147Wouldent recomend it though, updates can still break things16:07
stepheneshermanJames: Sry. "over my pay grade" means "beyond my technical skills"16:07
BluesKajeagles0513875, well, my ffmpeg version was updated and stripped , it would no longer encode to mpeg on the fly when transferring video to TiVO , so I had to build the svn version and place in a usr/local/bin to keep it safe from the repos "upgrade for ffmpeg"16:08
James147stephenesherman:  :) o well, its not too hard with the installer and some google searches16:09
eagles0513875ouchie BluesKaj :(16:09
eagles0513875damn the mppa and riaa16:09
stepheneshermanJames: Gotcha.16:09
stepheneshermanJames: If I back up any critical data on CD/DVD, then risk should be minimal. Would you agree?16:10
James147stephenesherman: with all your data on another medium and no other os on your system then there should be no risk (unless you forgot to back somehting up)16:11
James147stephenesherman: remember to check your data on the backups before you try :)16:11
stepheneshermanJames: Correct. And good point about checking the data on  backups. I've experienced that before.16:12
BluesKajppl think they are getting full versions of media vehicles like ffmpeg and codecs etc, but the only way is to use the "unstripped libraries" like libavcodec-unstrppied-52 in conjunction with svn-ffmpeg to make their pc-pvr and lan connected media work16:13

eagles0513875thats interesting16:18
BluesKajhggdh, thx for the heads up , I'm glad the codec and unstripped issues appear to be resolved , but I'll stick with this until the "-extras" are officailly available in the multiverse karmic repos16:20
hggdhBluesKaj, indeed. We can expect some breakage while all dependencies are worked out16:26
hggdhand please let this server as a warning, since some here (at least yesterday night, US CDT time) cannot understand that you run Alphas on your *own* risk16:27
BluesKajhggdh, kudos to you and Reinhard Tartler for the good work and info on this sissue :)16:28
hggdhheh. siretart is the one to get the kudos...16:28
hggdh(Rienhard)16:28
BluesKajwell, directing us to the solution helps a lot :)16:29
DanaGhmm, there's a reference to a "technical board" -- what's all that about?16:31
DanaGIs there a link to that somewhere?16:31
BluesKajhggdh, and i do have about 7 dependency issues with the regular versions of libavcodec/ffmpeg in the repos , so I'm avoiding those apps til things get resolved16:32
hggdhso am I, so am I...16:33
