[02:01] lo all [02:01] the US Ski Team is training @ Timberline [02:02] Had a chance to meet Sarah [02:02] http://www.usskiteam.com/alpine/athletes/athlete?athleteId=1053 [02:09] hi there bodhizazen [02:11] I've always wondered if it was possible to tell if someone was a really skilled athlete just by talking to them. [02:29] seidos, well, I watched her train as well =) [02:30] Olympic Athletes are extremely dedicated to their sport [02:30] Think about it - Years of training for 15 minutes of fame =) [02:34] 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] yep [02:37] If you read the bio, Sarah missed an Olympic competition due to injury [02:37] I skimmed it [02:37] And Lindsey Vonn broke her hand in a spectacular crash [02:38] were they in this last Olympics? I think I remember seeing that. [02:38] Yeah, Lindsey Vonn sounds familiar. She won a gold, right? [02:51] bodhizazen: yo yo yo [02:53] tsk tsk...no love [02:56] 'lo stlsaint [04:24] 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] kermiac: ^^^ [04:33] 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] 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] kermiac: see above ^^^^ :) [04:38] nUboon2Age: haha, I'm blind today :) [04:40] nUboon2Age: hello [04:40] 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] nUboon2Age: Do ant of your Community Cafe posts show up? [04:41] s/ant/any [04:41] nUboon2Age: is it maybe because you "bumped" your own thread? Do you want me to post a comment & see what happens? [04:41] hey duanedesign :) [04:42] 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] kermiac: hello! [04:43] kermiac: yes, please try posting to it and see if it bumps up. [04:44] duanedesign: i did two and neither are bumping up. Neither were 'my' threads. [04:45] 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] 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] kermiac: okay that kind of thing happened to me too. [04:47] i think head_victim might be right, there's probably an update or something going on atm === kermiac is now known as Wile === Wile is now known as Wile-E-Coyote === Wile-E-Coyote is now known as kermiac [04:49] shredder12: you got the news about ubuntu.stackexchange.com? [04:50] Mohan_chml: its amazing. Stackoverflow and sister sites have completely changed the face of forums [04:50] head_victim: kermiac: duanedesign: thanks, i think you're right. somethings up with the forum. [04:50] yeah :) [04:51] nUboon2Age: no worries, just throwing my 2 cents in [04:51] kermiac: are Mohanchml and shredder1.2 bots?

[07:44] Run a google search on that. [07:44] no sorry ok [07:44] Ubuntu usually has a hard time with wifi, esp USB sticks. === cookr35_ is now known as cookr35 [07:48] ok MadWifi...it seems to be Wifi related, and currently they say there isn't support for usb :( [07:49] what i'm using is mobile broadband [07:49] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1317056 [07:49] thats what i got searching for a solution [07:50] the issue i'm having, is that my device isn't getting detected when i plug it in [07:50] and they don't seem to mention what to do if it dosen't get detected [07:51] i'm assuming i have to install drivers, but being a linux newb i dont know how to do that... [07:52] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [07:54] i should try that? === slidinghorn is now known as [-slidinghorn-] === [-slidinghorn-] is now known as slidinghorn [11:21] 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] /boot/grub/menu.lst might be pointing to the wrong partition for grub stage 1.5. Have you recently manipulated your partitions? [11:25] 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] I haven't changed anything myself, but I guess fsck has damaged something [11:39] 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] 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] no idea I'm afraid - never had a usb set to boot from [11:48] hobgoblin: ok thanks. [11:50] ronank: not sure what you can do to check tbh - and you need somehow to reinstall grub I think [11:51] Evening hobgoblin =] [11:51] hobgoblin: yes. I can't figure out how to boot it though. Does anyone else have any ideas? [11:52] ronank: boot failiure?? [11:53] ronank: so what do you get when you boot without the usb - what error is it ? [11:53] 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] hobgoblin: Nothing - it's a BIOS error. I'll check the text now. [11:56] ronank: is that similar too http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1414036? [11:56] hobgoblin: I'm wrong. Same GRUB error from the hard disk. === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as Mohan_chml [11:57] IAmNotThatGuy: that looks similar, I'll see if that helps [11:57] okay ronank (: [11:59] 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] hobgoblin: yes, I have both. The netbook was working fine from the SSD yesterday :-) [12:01] hobgoblin: I think I have a live CD on a USB stick and I want to boot that. [12:02] 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] 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] k - that makes more sense now :) [12:05] you need to do that then - unetbootin or whatever - not something I have done [12:07] hobgoblin: I'll recreate the USB bootable system. I made it on a Mac, that may be the problem [12:07] Mohan_chml: I think the page you pointed me to will help [12:07] Thanks [12:07] ronank: good luck then :) [12:07] no worries ronank carry on with debugging (: [12:08] hobgoblin: I said evening :( [12:08] I assume you have the reinstall grublink already [12:08] Mohan_chml: and I was helping someone :) good day to you [12:09] hobgoblin: We spoke before three weeks I think [12:09] hows life piskie?? [12:09] pretty good ty [12:10] okies =] [12:11] Mohan_chml: how about for you? [12:11] health wise I am really bad. real life problems are somewhat okay now and ty for asking (: [12:12] oh - sorry tohear that [12:13] It will get cured soon and I want it cure by tomorrow as I have a workshop to speak tomorrow (: [12:58] morning all [13:00] good morning duanedesign :) [13:01] morning shpongle, duanedesign [13:02] hey there paultag [13:07] o/ [13:18] Good evening to all [13:24] hi, anyone have any idea on how to find out how to recall the output of the console? [13:24] i know history does the commands [13:24] i need the resulting stuff from those commands [13:25] as i generated a password and then closed the console [13:25] i didnt write the password down [13:25] L( [13:25] :((( [13:26] i don't think that is stored, it would be a security issue [13:27] so the only way to do it would be to pay again - the issue is with ipreditor [13:27] they wont allow you to reset the password if you forgot it [13:27] for a vpn [13:27] darknemesis, whats you problem? [13:27] auch, that's a pretty bad service i'd say, you shouldn't pay for password resets :\ [13:28] well i paid for a vpn, and forgot the password [13:28] they say that if you forget the password then you have to pay again and the account will be invalid [13:28] oic [13:29] so i need to get the output of the terminal from the last session i used the console [13:29] as that has my password in it [13:30] * darknemesis was stupid and closed the terminal [13:31] darknemesis, Try this question in #ubuntu [13:31] i did [13:31] they didnt know [13:31] and you guys know loads [13:31] darknemesis: unless the terminal logs stuff, it won't [13:31] Try now Mark is there may be he know [13:31] darknemesis: you might be able to parse ram / kcore, but that's reallllllly shady and sketch [13:32] darknemesis: and also won't do frak if you have rebooted [13:32] havent rebooted === slidinghorn is now known as [-slidinghorn-] === nigelbabu is now known as nigelb [19:26] I have been trying to get a Lexmark Z25 printer to work with ubuntu 10.04.
