[08:30] <wolf89> guys, can some1 tell me hot to avoid overwriting my pc mbr when installing ubuntu?
[08:39] <topyli> wolf89, you have that option during installation. this is not a support channel though, please join #ubuntu for help
[08:40] <topyli> feel free to talk about irc! :)
[14:39] <erUSUL> !ipod
[14:40] <bazhang> ifuse comes with lucid, there is a PPA for karmic now
[14:40] <bazhang> for the newer iPods and of course iPhones
[14:41] <erUSUL> ok; thanks !
[14:41] <bazhang> no real need to change the factoid (imo) as lucid is so close
[14:42] <bazhang> hopefully we can !forget factoid by that point :)
[14:43] <erUSUL> bazhang: even if it is uber-automatic people will keep asking ;)
[14:43] <bazhang> erUSUL, good point :)
[14:44] <erUSUL> bazhang: see what happens with flash and mp3. how many versions have been ubuntu offering to install both when needed? still people pop up on the channel and ask...
[14:44] <bazhang> not to mention the buttons switching sides, and the new popups or lack of
[14:45] <erUSUL> :)
[14:56] <[Raiden]> change the ipod on one of the cowon or iriver and no problems to sync
[14:56] <[Raiden]> )
[14:57] <bazhang> well most users want something that 'just works' ; asking them to install new firmware etc is not for the fainthearted
[15:25] <vish> hi , i added a new factoid [!newunitspolicy] to #u+1 channel , it was forwarded to -ops but hasnt been added yet , anyone know about it?
[15:27] <bazhang> vish, not shown up there; did you do it correctly ?
[15:27] <vish> bazhang: i did !newunitspolicy is <text>
[15:27] <vish> and ubottu mentioned it was forwarded
[15:28] <bazhang> vish try !factoid is <reply> blah blah blah etc
[15:28] <vish> ah , ok..
[15:28] <bazhang> not seen it forwarded unless the bot is severely lagging
[15:31] <vish> bazhang: now?
[15:31] <vish> bad ubottu ;p
[15:31] <vish> it lied to me yesterday ;)
[15:31] <bazhang> success
[15:31] <vish> thanks
[15:31] <bazhang> the more senior ops will review and include or not
[15:32] <bazhang> vish, any suggestions for the switch buttons factoid ?
[15:32] <vish> hmm , thats a tricky one :D
[15:33]  * vish thinks
[15:33] <bazhang> gnomefreak had one iirc but I seem to have misplaced it :)
[15:33] <bazhang> well plenty of time before release at any rate
[15:42] <vish> buttons >  The titlebar buttons have switched to the left during the development phase of Lucid. No need for alarm! The developers are testing this and listening to user feedback. The final decision about the position will be made after beta. Kindly be patient. For more insight , kindly read : http://www.ivankamajic.com/?p=281
[15:42] <vish> bazhang: ^
[15:43] <bazhang> vish thanks :)
[15:43] <bazhang> we may need a fall back option though should the changes be permanent :)
[15:43] <bazhang> I'll ask gnomefreak
[15:44] <vish> bazhang: we can update that after beta ;)
[15:44] <bazhang> vish good point :)
[15:45]  * vish sends factoid
[15:46] <bazhang> sorry I dont anything about factoid
[15:46] <vish> bazhang: np.. i just forwarded it no hurry :)
