[02:01] <bodhizazen> lo all
[02:01] <bodhizazen> the US Ski Team is training @ Timberline
[02:02] <bodhizazen> Had a chance to meet Sarah
[02:02] <bodhizazen> http://www.usskiteam.com/alpine/athletes/athlete?athleteId=1053
[02:09] <seidos> hi there bodhizazen
[02:11] <seidos> I've always wondered if it was possible to tell if someone was a really skilled athlete just by talking to them.
[02:29] <bodhizazen> seidos, well, I watched her train as well =)
[02:30] <bodhizazen> Olympic Athletes are extremely dedicated to their sport
[02:30] <bodhizazen> Think about it - Years of training for 15 minutes of fame =)
[02:34] <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.
[02:36] <bodhizazen> yep
[02:37] <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
[02:38] <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?
[02:51] <stlsaint> bodhizazen: yo yo yo
[02:53] <stlsaint> tsk tsk...no love
[02:56] <bodhizazen> 'lo stlsaint
[04:24] <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?
[04:27] <nUboon2Age> kermiac: ^^^
[04:33] <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...
[04:37] <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 ^^^^ :)
[04:38] <kermiac> nUboon2Age: haha, I'm blind today :)
[04:40] <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
[04:41] <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 :)
[04:42] <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!
[04:43] <nUboon2Age> kermiac: yes, please try posting to it and see if it bumps up.
[04:44] <nUboon2Age> duanedesign: i did two and neither are bumping up.  Neither were 'my' threads.
[04:45] <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.
[04:47] <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
[04:49] <Mohan_chml> shredder12: you got the news about ubuntu.stackexchange.com?
[04:50] <shredder12> Mohan_chml: its amazing. Stackoverflow and sister sites have completely changed the face of forums
[04:50] <nUboon2Age> head_victim: kermiac: duanedesign: thanks, i think you're right.  somethings up with the forum.
[04:50] <Mohan_chml> yeah :)
[04:51] <head_victim> nUboon2Age: no worries, just throwing my 2 cents in
[04:51] <nUboon2Age> kermiac: are Mohanchml and shredder1.2 bots?

[07:26] <RealEyes> hey guys
[07:41] <wallybazoo> hi, i need a little(?) help with my ubuntu 10.04 :)
[07:42] <wallybazoo> i cannot connect to the internet from ubuntu
[07:42] <wallybazoo> i'm using a 3g usb modem
[07:43] <wallybazoo> the modem is ZTE ac8700 and it does not get detected when i plug it in
[07:44] <RealEyes> have you looked into 'MadWifi'?
[07:44] <RealEyes> Run a google search on that.
[07:44] <wallybazoo> no sorry ok
[07:44] <RealEyes> Ubuntu usually has a hard time with wifi, esp USB sticks.
[07:48] <wallybazoo> ok MadWifi...it seems to be Wifi related, and currently they say there isn't support for usb :(
[07:49] <wallybazoo> what i'm using is mobile broadband
[07:49] <wallybazoo> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1317056
[07:49] <wallybazoo> thats what i got searching for a solution
[07:50] <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
[07:51] <wallybazoo> i'm assuming i have to install drivers, but being a linux newb i dont know how to do that...
[07:52] <RealEyes> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras
[07:54] <wallybazoo> i should try that?
[11:21] <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?
[11:23] <Silver_Fox_> /boot/grub/menu.lst  might be pointing to the wrong partition for grub stage 1.5. Have you recently manipulated your partitions?
[11:25] <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
[11:39] <hobgoblin> ronank: then I would suggest that either the usb is not right or the Eee is not set to boot from usb first
[11:41] <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?
[11:44] <hobgoblin> no idea I'm afraid - never had a usb set to boot from
[11:48] <ronank> hobgoblin: ok thanks.
[11:50] <hobgoblin> ronank: not sure what you can do to check tbh - and you need somehow to reinstall grub I think
[11:51] <IAmNotThatGuy> Evening hobgoblin =]
[11:51] <ronank> hobgoblin: yes. I can't figure out how to boot it though. Does anyone else have any ideas?
[11:52] <IAmNotThatGuy> ronank: boot failiure??
[11:53] <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.
[11:55] <ronank> hobgoblin: Nothing - it's a BIOS error. I'll check the text now.
[11:56] <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.
[11:57] <ronank> IAmNotThatGuy: that looks similar, I'll see if that helps
[11:57] <Mohan_chml> okay ronank (:
[11:59] <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
[12:00] <ronank> hobgoblin: yes, I have both. The netbook was working fine from the SSD yesterday :-)
[12:01] <ronank> hobgoblin: I think I have a live CD on a USB stick and I want to boot that.
[12:02] <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
[12:04] <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.
[12:05] <hobgoblin> k - that makes more sense now :)
[12:05] <hobgoblin> you need to do that then - unetbootin or whatever - not something I have done
[12:07] <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 (:
[12:08] <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
[12:09] <Mohan_chml> hobgoblin: We spoke before three weeks I think
[12:09] <Mohan_chml> hows life piskie??
[12:09] <hobgoblin> pretty good ty
[12:10] <Mohan_chml> okies =]
[12:11] <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 (:
[12:12] <hobgoblin> oh - sorry tohear that
[12:13] <Mohan_chml> It will get cured soon and I want it cure by tomorrow as I have a workshop to speak tomorrow (:

[13:24] <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
[13:25] <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> :(((
[13:26] <Puck`> i don't think that is stored, it would be a security issue
[13:27] <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 :\
[13:28] <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
[13:29] <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
[13:30]  * darknemesis was stupid and closed the terminal
[13:31] <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
[13:32] <paultag> darknemesis: and also won't do frak if you have rebooted
[13:32] <darknemesis> havent rebooted
