[12:07] 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 [12:08] 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] duanedesign: strangely enough, when booting my laptop today -- I had the same issue, so I selected the hdd and it booted. this sounds bad.. === hebz0rl_ is now known as hebz0rl [13:33] that sounds crazy... maybe a bug in the liveusb creator.. I just dump the isos on the stick and use that way..simpler [14:16] duffydack: indeed I used the liveusb creator. what do you mean by 'dump the iso on the stick' ? [14:18] gujin bootloader, 700mb partition for each iso, cat iso > /dev/sdb2.. I have a large stick :) [14:23] duffydack: neat.. [14:23] could use grub2 with loop but its not as compatible with as many live things... [14:24] duffydack: do you have to cat > or is it sufficient to throw that iso onto the stick in the file.iso form? [14:25] no, cat. basically writes the iso fs to it.. [14:25] I see, thanks. sounds cool to have more then 1 distro on the stick. [14:26] i have clonezilla, sysrecue, ubuntu 10.04 i386/amd, fedora, 10.10 amd64/386 and an encrypted partition for my home backups. [14:27] then when i upgrade it, dev/zero the partition, and cat another [14:27] http://psychoticspoon.blogspot.com/2009/01/booting-multiple-livecds-from-single.html long winded.. its only like 4 commands. [14:35] duffydack: thanks !! [14:36] 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] duffydack: awesome link by the way [14:36] just grub-install /dev/sda [14:36] I mean, very instructive. [14:36] duffydack: even if it's grub2 ? [14:37] yup [14:37] i'm on 10.04 and I think it's grub2 [14:37] duffydack: thanks! [14:37] as long as boot files already exist, all it needs is grub puttin back [14:37] umm [14:37] I always had MBR overwritten whenever I *had* to install windows.. [14:37] then once booted to ubuntu, update-grub [14:38] so I want to play it right this time xD [14:38] to get win7 in your list [14:38] duffydack: aha :) awesome, thank you very much! [14:38] * mkarnicki notes it down [14:38] booted to your install, not the livecd. [14:38] right :) [14:38] all clear, thanks! [14:39] could go the chroot route, but this is simpler. [14:39] I dont know a great deal. just what I need to. [14:40] duffydack: I once had to chroot to recover my encrypted home. it wasn't something I'd like to repeat ;) [14:40] hehehe [14:42] 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] I know that fresh install can be somewhat better then dist-upgrade [14:45] 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] Inve never tried it with encrypted tho [14:45] ive* [14:46] I`d test it in a vm first. [14:46] I'll recheck that twice before I'll perform fresh install. Worst nightmare would be to recover 100gig encrypted home [14:46] duffydack: great idea!! [14:46] duffydack: thanks a bundle, you've been much help (even tho I was off-topic :) ) [14:47] yeah, you're better off asking in #ubuntu [14:47] for a definate answer.. I`m not sure tbh [14:47] duffydack: I will :) have a great day! [14:48] k [14:58] * duffydack is trying it in a vm.. curious. [15:00] * mkarnicki planned that for after few days :) [15:01] 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. [15:07] duffydack: i'll check that in the vm, too :) that's a great idea. [15:12] installed lucid, made few adjustments, now installing maverick fresh but told it to use the existing /home but not format..... lets see [15:14] well, when asking for username setup.. the require my pass to decrypt home is greyed out/selected... good sign.. [15:22] sounds good :) [15:22] well it booted ok, and is using the wallpaper, no sound theme, font scheme and other modifications i made on lucid. [15:22] and the files under /home ? [15:22] just a matter of installing the apps again and all would be right in the world. [15:22] home is untouched... [15:22] that's awesome :) [15:23] so, basically, its looking as easy as 123 [15:23] that's really awesome, thanks :D indeed! [16:37] hi, iirc ubuntuone store is based on 7digital isn't it ? [16:37] sadly the search function doesn't work in the same way, wanted to bux the following album which is on 7digital [16:37] benste: yes [16:37] 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] but can't find this in ubuntuone [16:38] need your help searching it [16:38] benste: the store is regionalised - the only idea I have that would explain why the album is not availibie *via the store* [16:38] duanedesign: benste's got question ↑ [16:40] mkarnicki: what a mess, I moved to belgium a few weeks ago and can't buy those which i could in germany :-) [16:41] 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] mkarnicki: it's not a localisation problem [16:41] it's available there too [16:42] but +2€ expensive [16:42] btw. what was the name for the staging server - for opening the store directly in the browser ? [16:45] mkarnicki: duanedesign which country are you from - could you try searching for this album on your stores ? [16:59] mkarnicki: duanedesign indeed using JAP now, it's a country specific issue [17:00] guess I'm beginning to hate 7digital [17:00] thanks for your help === dobey_ is now known as dobey [17:58] too bad I had to go away :< [20:09] 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? [20:20] levu, hi! [20:20] file a bug, attach the patch [20:21] ok, well, but i think this can be an upstream problem... [20:21] levu, as in on evolution? [20:22] beuno: in evolution-couchdb, i dont know if this is just an ubuntu project or an upstream gnome project [20:22] in the evolution channel is just silence, i wanted to ask them [20:22] levu, this is an upstream project we maintain [20:23] beuno: ok, so i attach the patch asap (i just have to do the diff ;)) [20:23] so if you file the bug with the patch, I'll make sure the right people look at it tomorrow (hola Chipaca!) [20:23] levu, yeap, or a bzr branch if you've poked at it in bzr [20:24] beuno: i got the source via apt-get source and fixed it locally [20:25] levu, cool, so a patch is great then [20:25] beuno: just to be sure: i do just an diff -u old new, right? [20:26] levu, yeap [20:26] beuno: ok :) [20:26] thanks levu [20:30] beuno: i have problems with opera surfing ubuntu.com, all pages just don't load, all other browsers work, is there a know issue? [20:31] levu, not that I knwo of [20:42] beuno: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evolution-couchdb/+bug/473616/ [20:42] levu: Error: Bug #473616 is private. [20:42] it is open since nearly one year and it is not yet fixed... [20:42] levu, awesome, thanks [20:43] and @ubot4: this patch is public here :) [20:43] and i know ubot4 is an bot :D [20:43] beuno: no problem, if there is another bug i also try to fix it :) [20:44] \o/ [20:48] beuno: bye
