| bodhizazen | the US Ski Team is training @ Timberline | 02:01 |
| bodhizazen | Had a chance to meet Sarah | 02:02 |

| seidos | hi there bodhizazen | 02:09 |
| seidos | I've always wondered if it was possible to tell if someone was a really skilled athlete just by talking to them. | 02:11 |
| bodhizazen | seidos, well, I watched her train as well =) | 02:29 |
| bodhizazen | Olympic Athletes are extremely dedicated to their sport | 02:30 |
| bodhizazen | Think about it - Years of training for 15 minutes of fame =) | 02:30 |
| seidos | that kind of dedication is foreign to me. Makes me wonder where it comes from. I used to snowboard, but it was for fun, and the more I pushed to improve, the more I realized it wasn't for me. Improvement didn't seem to be worth the risk in pain. But I never did slalom, it isn't really suited to snowboarding, or vice versa, I would think it is still dangerous though. | 02:34 |
| bodhizazen | yep | 02:36 |
| bodhizazen | If you read the bio, Sarah missed an Olympic competition due to injury | 02:37 |
| seidos | I skimmed it | 02:37 |
| bodhizazen | And Lindsey Vonn broke her hand in a spectacular crash | 02:37 |
| seidos | were they in this last Olympics? I think I remember seeing that. | 02:38 |
| seidos | Yeah, Lindsey Vonn sounds familiar. She won a gold, right? | 02:38 |
| stlsaint | bodhizazen: yo yo yo | 02:51 |
| stlsaint | tsk tsk...no love | 02:53 |

| nUboon2Age | duanedesign: I have a question about the forums you might be able to help me with. I made a post, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=639966 , but when i search under 'Find all your posts' it doesn't show up, and at least for me when i go to Community Cafe, i don't see it near the top as i'd expect it to be. Any ideas what might be going on? | 04:24 |
| nUboon2Age | kermiac: ^^^ | 04:27 |
| nUboon2Age | kermiac: duanedesign: hmmm... i just posted to another thread in Community Cafe, and again i don't see it rising to the top of the list as i'd expect it too... | 04:33 |
| kermiac | hey nUboon2Age, I'm not a forum regular so I don't know how much help I can be... have you got a link to your post? | 04:37 |
| nUboon2Age | kermiac: see above ^^^^ :) | 04:37 |
| kermiac | nUboon2Age: haha, I'm blind today :) | 04:38 |
| duanedesign | nUboon2Age: hello | 04:40 |
| head_victim | I'm no expert either but it would appear the latest update to the front page of all the ubuntu forum sections was 2 hours ago. Might be something with updating on the forum side | 04:40 |
| duanedesign | nUboon2Age: Do ant of your Community Cafe posts show up? | 04:41 |
| duanedesign | s/ant/any | 04:41 |
| kermiac | nUboon2Age: is it maybe because you "bumped" your own thread? Do you want me to post a comment & see what happens? | 04:41 |
| kermiac | hey duanedesign :) | 04:41 |
| duanedesign | nUboon2Age: i know Community Cafe posts dont count towards your bean count. I am not sure if that also excludes them from your 'Find all Posts' | 04:42 |
| duanedesign | kermiac: hello! | 04:42 |
| nUboon2Age | kermiac: yes, please try posting to it and see if it bumps up. | 04:43 |
| nUboon2Age | duanedesign: i did two and neither are bumping up. Neither were 'my' threads. | 04:44 |
| nUboon2Age | duanedesign: kermiac: i just did a third and its not bumped either. i see what you said about the latest being 2 hours old. yeah maybe there's something going on with the forum. | 04:45 |
| kermiac | ah.. I think something's going on with the forums. It logs me in, redirects me back to the original page & then shows that I'm not logged in | 04:47 |
| nUboon2Age | kermiac: okay that kind of thing happened to me too. | 04:47 |
| kermiac | i think head_victim might be right, there's probably an update or something going on atm | 04:47 |

| wallybazoo | the modem is ZTE ac8700 and it does not get detected when i plug it in | 07:43 |
| RealEyes | have you looked into 'MadWifi'? | 07:44 |
| RealEyes | Run a google search on that. | 07:44 |
| wallybazoo | no sorry ok | 07:44 |

| === cookr35_ is now known as cookr35 | ||
| wallybazoo | ok MadWifi...it seems to be Wifi related, and currently they say there isn't support for usb :( | 07:48 |

| wallybazoo | thats what i got searching for a solution | 07:49 |
| wallybazoo | the issue i'm having, is that my device isn't getting detected when i plug it in | 07:50 |
| wallybazoo | and they don't seem to mention what to do if it dosen't get detected | 07:50 |
| wallybazoo | i'm assuming i have to install drivers, but being a linux newb i dont know how to do that... | 07:51 |
| RealEyes | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 07:52 |
| wallybazoo | i should try that? | 07:54 |

| ronank | I'm trying to boot a Eee from Ubuntu Netbook Edition on a USB stick, so that I can fix the messed-up installation on the SSD in the device, but it halts at "GRUB loading" with Error 15. Can anyone help sort this out? | 11:21 |
| Silver_Fox_ | /boot/grub/menu.lst might be pointing to the wrong partition for grub stage 1.5. Have you recently manipulated your partitions? | 11:23 |
| ronank | I had to power the netbook off because the keyboard wasn't responding, and my attempts to use fsck to fix the problem have just made it worse. | 11:25 |
| ronank | I haven't changed anything myself, but I guess fsck has damaged something | 11:25 |
| hobgoblin | ronank: then I would suggest that either the usb is not right or the Eee is not set to boot from usb first | 11:39 |
| ronank | hobgoblin: I know the Eee is set to boot from USB, because if the stick is not inserted, it won't boot at all. There may be a problem with the USB - how can I test this? | 11:41 |
| hobgoblin | no idea I'm afraid - never had a usb set to boot from | 11:44 |
| ronank | hobgoblin: ok thanks. | 11:48 |
| hobgoblin | ronank: not sure what you can do to check tbh - and you need somehow to reinstall grub I think | 11:50 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Evening hobgoblin =] | 11:51 |
| ronank | hobgoblin: yes. I can't figure out how to boot it though. Does anyone else have any ideas? | 11:51 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | ronank: boot failiure?? | 11:52 |
| hobgoblin | ronank: so what do you get when you boot without the usb - what error is it ? | 11:53 |
| ronank | IAmNotThatGuy: Yes, I'm trying to boot a Eee from Ubuntu Netbook Edition on a USB stick, so that I can fix the messed-up installation on the SSD in the device, but it halts at "GRUB loading" with Error 15. | 11:53 |
| ronank | hobgoblin: Nothing - it's a BIOS error. I'll check the text now. | 11:55 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | ronank: is that similar too http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1414036? | 11:56 |
| ronank | hobgoblin: I'm wrong. Same GRUB error from the hard disk. | 11:56 |
| === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohan_chml | ||
| ronank | IAmNotThatGuy: that looks similar, I'll see if that helps | 11:57 |
| Mohan_chml | okay ronank (: | 11:57 |
| hobgoblin | ronank: hang on - are you saying that you have installs on both the ssd and the usb? if that's the case you are needing a livecd/liveusb to reinstall grub | 11:59 |
| ronank | hobgoblin: yes, I have both. The netbook was working fine from the SSD yesterday :-) | 12:00 |
| ronank | hobgoblin: I think I have a live CD on a USB stick and I want to boot that. | 12:01 |
| hobgoblin | if the usb is giving you error15 - either it has an install which is failing - or it is not being booted with - at least that seems a logical explanation | 12:02 |
| ronank | hobgoblin: I think I mis-diagnosed the problem. The error 15 is coming from the SSD installation. I'm now trying to boot from the USB and the BIOS says: "Reboot and Select proper Boot device", which I guess means that the USB is not bootable. | 12:04 |
| hobgoblin | k - that makes more sense now :) | 12:05 |
| hobgoblin | you need to do that then - unetbootin or whatever - not something I have done | 12:05 |
| ronank | hobgoblin: I'll recreate the USB bootable system. I made it on a Mac, that may be the problem | 12:07 |
| ronank | Mohan_chml: I think the page you pointed me to will help | 12:07 |
| ronank | Thanks | 12:07 |
| hobgoblin | ronank: good luck then :) | 12:07 |
| Mohan_chml | no worries ronank carry on with debugging (: | 12:07 |
| Mohan_chml | hobgoblin: I said evening :( | 12:08 |
| hobgoblin | I assume you have the reinstall grublink already | 12:08 |
| hobgoblin | Mohan_chml: and I was helping someone :) good day to you | 12:08 |
| Mohan_chml | hobgoblin: We spoke before three weeks I think | 12:09 |
| Mohan_chml | hows life piskie?? | 12:09 |
| hobgoblin | pretty good ty | 12:09 |
| Mohan_chml | okies =] | 12:10 |
| hobgoblin | Mohan_chml: how about for you? | 12:11 |
| Mohan_chml | health wise I am really bad. real life problems are somewhat okay now and ty for asking (: | 12:11 |
| hobgoblin | oh - sorry tohear that | 12:12 |
| Mohan_chml | It will get cured soon and I want it cure by tomorrow as I have a workshop to speak tomorrow (: | 12:13 |

| darknemesis | hi, anyone have any idea on how to find out how to recall the output of the console? | 13:24 |
| darknemesis | i know history does the commands | 13:24 |
| darknemesis | i need the resulting stuff from those commands | 13:24 |
| darknemesis | as i generated a password and then closed the console | 13:25 |
| darknemesis | i didnt write the password down | 13:25 |
| darknemesis | L( | 13:25 |
| darknemesis | :((( | 13:25 |
| Puck` | i don't think that is stored, it would be a security issue | 13:26 |
| darknemesis | so the only way to do it would be to pay again - the issue is with ipreditor | 13:27 |
| darknemesis | they wont allow you to reset the password if you forgot it | 13:27 |
| darknemesis | for a vpn | 13:27 |
| bihari | darknemesis, whats you problem? | 13:27 |
| Puck` | auch, that's a pretty bad service i'd say, you shouldn't pay for password resets :\ | 13:27 |
| darknemesis | well i paid for a vpn, and forgot the password | 13:28 |
| darknemesis | they say that if you forget the password then you have to pay again and the account will be invalid | 13:28 |
| bihari | oic | 13:28 |
| darknemesis | so i need to get the output of the terminal from the last session i used the console | 13:29 |
| darknemesis | as that has my password in it | 13:29 |
| * darknemesis was stupid and closed the terminal | 13:30 | |
| bihari | darknemesis, Try this question in #ubuntu | 13:31 |
| darknemesis | i did | 13:31 |
| darknemesis | they didnt know | 13:31 |
| darknemesis | and you guys know loads | 13:31 |
| paultag | darknemesis: unless the terminal logs stuff, it won't | 13:31 |
| bihari | Try now Mark is there may be he know | 13:31 |
| paultag | darknemesis: you might be able to parse ram / kcore, but that's reallllllly shady and sketch | 13:31 |
| paultag | darknemesis: and also won't do frak if you have rebooted | 13:32 |
| darknemesis | havent rebooted | 13:32 |
