| mkarnicki | duanedesign: hi! do you recall a user from the forums saying he had problem booting his system (possibly windows) after using Maverick live from USB ? | 12:06 |
|---|---|---|
| mkarnicki | duanedesign: I had the same issue yesterday. after I shut my laptop from maverick USB, there was a 'terminal style/dos style' message that I should instert a boot device or something like that | 12:07 |
| mkarnicki | duanedesign: I freaked out a bit, but I restarted by laptop and explicitly chose (the only device) from the boot list, my hdd -- and it booted! | 12:08 |
| mkarnicki | duanedesign: strangely enough, when booting my laptop today -- I had the same issue, so I selected the hdd and it booted. this sounds bad.. | 12:08 |

| duffydack | that sounds crazy... maybe a bug in the liveusb creator.. I just dump the isos on the stick and use that way..simpler | 13:33 |
| mkarnicki | duffydack: indeed I used the liveusb creator. what do you mean by 'dump the iso on the stick' ? | 14:16 |
| duffydack | gujin bootloader, 700mb partition for each iso, cat iso > /dev/sdb2.. I have a large stick :) | 14:18 |
| mkarnicki | duffydack: neat.. | 14:23 |
| duffydack | could use grub2 with loop but its not as compatible with as many live things... | 14:23 |
| mkarnicki | duffydack: do you have to cat > or is it sufficient to throw that iso onto the stick in the file.iso form? | 14:24 |
| duffydack | no, cat. basically writes the iso fs to it.. | 14:25 |
| mkarnicki | I see, thanks. sounds cool to have more then 1 distro on the stick. | 14:25 |
| duffydack | i have clonezilla, sysrecue, ubuntu 10.04 i386/amd, fedora, 10.10 amd64/386 and an encrypted partition for my home backups. | 14:26 |
| duffydack | then when i upgrade it, dev/zero the partition, and cat another | 14:27 |
| duffydack | http://psychoticspoon.blogspot.com/2009/01/booting-multiple-livecds-from-single.html long winded.. its only like 4 commands. | 14:27 |
| mkarnicki | duffydack: thanks !! | 14:35 |
| mkarnicki | duffydack: seems you're good in that stuff, one question if I may. I have to install win7 along my ubuntu. how can I recover overwritten mbr (as I suppose win7 will do so). shoud I dd first bytes of my drive and then use live usb to recover that? | 14:36 |
| mkarnicki | duffydack: awesome link by the way | 14:36 |
| duffydack | just grub-install /dev/sda | 14:36 |
| mkarnicki | I mean, very instructive. | 14:36 |
| mkarnicki | duffydack: even if it's grub2 ? | 14:36 |
| duffydack | yup | 14:37 |
| mkarnicki | i'm on 10.04 and I think it's grub2 | 14:37 |
| mkarnicki | duffydack: thanks! | 14:37 |
| duffydack | as long as boot files already exist, all it needs is grub puttin back | 14:37 |
| duffydack | umm | 14:37 |
| mkarnicki | I always had MBR overwritten whenever I *had* to install windows.. | 14:37 |
| duffydack | then once booted to ubuntu, update-grub | 14:37 |
| mkarnicki | so I want to play it right this time xD | 14:38 |
| duffydack | to get win7 in your list | 14:38 |
| mkarnicki | duffydack: aha :) awesome, thank you very much! | 14:38 |
| * mkarnicki notes it down | 14:38 | |
| duffydack | booted to your install, not the livecd. | 14:38 |
| mkarnicki | right :) | 14:38 |
| mkarnicki | all clear, thanks! | 14:38 |
| duffydack | could go the chroot route, but this is simpler. | 14:39 |
| duffydack | I dont know a great deal. just what I need to. | 14:39 |
| mkarnicki | duffydack: I once had to chroot to recover my encrypted home. it wasn't something I'd like to repeat ;) | 14:40 |
| mkarnicki | hehehe | 14:40 |
| mkarnicki | duffydack: ok, one last question then! it's good to have a knowlegable person around :) -- what's the best way to have a fresh 10.10 install (I have 10.04 now) having ecrypted home work on the new system. have you ever had the same problem? | 14:42 |
| mkarnicki | I know that fresh install can be somewhat better then dist-upgrade | 14:42 |
| duffydack | I always fresh install. its quick enough and leaves the headaches behind.. if home is seperate then I guess, if it works with the same with encrypted, just leave it as it is, dont format. | 14:45 |
| duffydack | Inve never tried it with encrypted tho | 14:45 |
| duffydack | ive* | 14:45 |
| duffydack | I`d test it in a vm first. | 14:46 |
| mkarnicki | I'll recheck that twice before I'll perform fresh install. Worst nightmare would be to recover 100gig encrypted home | 14:46 |
| mkarnicki | duffydack: great idea!! | 14:46 |
| mkarnicki | duffydack: thanks a bundle, you've been much help (even tho I was off-topic :) ) | 14:46 |
| duffydack | yeah, you're better off asking in #ubuntu | 14:47 |
| duffydack | for a definate answer.. I`m not sure tbh | 14:47 |
| mkarnicki | duffydack: I will :) have a great day! | 14:47 |
| duffydack | k | 14:48 |
| * duffydack is trying it in a vm.. curious. | 14:58 | |
| * mkarnicki planned that for after few days :) | 15:00 | |
| duffydack | if it dont then an upgrade will have to do.. not sure how it handle the 'older' gnome files in home with a fresh install. | 15:01 |
| mkarnicki | duffydack: i'll check that in the vm, too :) that's a great idea. | 15:07 |
| duffydack | installed lucid, made few adjustments, now installing maverick fresh but told it to use the existing /home but not format..... lets see | 15:12 |
| duffydack | well, when asking for username setup.. the require my pass to decrypt home is greyed out/selected... good sign.. | 15:14 |
| mkarnicki | sounds good :) | 15:22 |
| duffydack | well it booted ok, and is using the wallpaper, no sound theme, font scheme and other modifications i made on lucid. | 15:22 |
| mkarnicki | and the files under /home ? | 15:22 |
| duffydack | just a matter of installing the apps again and all would be right in the world. | 15:22 |
| duffydack | home is untouched... | 15:22 |
| mkarnicki | that's awesome :) | 15:22 |
| duffydack | so, basically, its looking as easy as 123 | 15:23 |
| mkarnicki | that's really awesome, thanks :D indeed! | 15:23 |
| benste | hi, iirc ubuntuone store is based on 7digital isn't it ? | 16:37 |
| benste | sadly the search function doesn't work in the same way, wanted to bux the following album which is on 7digital | 16:37 |
| mkarnicki | benste: yes | 16:37 |
| benste | http://de.7digital.com/artists/b-o-b/b-o-b-presents-the-adventures-of-bobby-ray-2/04-Airplanes-%5Bfeat-Hayley-Williams-of-Paramore%5D-%28Explicit-Album-Version%29/ | 16:37 |
| benste | but can't find this in ubuntuone | 16:37 |
| benste | need your help searching it | 16:38 |
| mkarnicki | benste: the store is regionalised - the only idea I have that would explain why the album is not availibie *via the store* | 16:38 |
| mkarnicki | duanedesign: benste's got question ↑ | 16:38 |
| benste | mkarnicki: what a mess, I moved to belgium a few weeks ago and can't buy those which i could in germany :-) | 16:40 |
| benste | looks like i'll have to set up a proxy at school or else were - taking a look whether it's available via the belgium 7digital store | 16:41 |
| benste | mkarnicki: it's not a localisation problem | 16:41 |
| benste | it's available there too | 16:41 |
| benste | but +2€ expensive | 16:42 |
| benste | btw. what was the name for the staging server - for opening the store directly in the browser ? | 16:42 |
| benste | mkarnicki: duanedesign which country are you from - could you try searching for this album on your stores ? | 16:45 |
| benste | mkarnicki: duanedesign indeed using JAP now, it's a country specific issue | 16:59 |
| benste | guess I'm beginning to hate 7digital | 17:00 |
| benste | thanks for your help | 17:00 |

| levu | hi i found a bug in evolution-desktopcouch and have a possibility to fix it (it prevents you from importing contact into the Ubuntu One addressbook) so what should i do with the patch? | 20:09 |
| beuno | levu, hi! | 20:20 |
| beuno | file a bug, attach the patch | 20:20 |
| levu | ok, well, but i think this can be an upstream problem... | 20:21 |
| beuno | levu, as in on evolution? | 20:21 |
| levu | beuno: in evolution-couchdb, i dont know if this is just an ubuntu project or an upstream gnome project | 20:22 |
| levu | in the evolution channel is just silence, i wanted to ask them | 20:22 |
| beuno | levu, this is an upstream project we maintain | 20:22 |
| levu | beuno: ok, so i attach the patch asap (i just have to do the diff ;)) | 20:23 |
| beuno | so if you file the bug with the patch, I'll make sure the right people look at it tomorrow (hola Chipaca!) | 20:23 |
| beuno | levu, yeap, or a bzr branch if you've poked at it in bzr | 20:23 |
| levu | beuno: i got the source via apt-get source and fixed it locally | 20:24 |
| beuno | levu, cool, so a patch is great then | 20:25 |
| levu | beuno: just to be sure: i do just an diff -u old new, right? | 20:25 |
| beuno | levu, yeap | 20:26 |
