[12:06] <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 ?
[12:07] <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
[12:08] <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..
[13:33] <duffydack> 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] <mkarnicki> duffydack: indeed I used the liveusb creator. what do you mean by 'dump the iso on the stick' ?
[14:18] <duffydack> gujin bootloader, 700mb partition for each iso, cat iso > /dev/sdb2.. I have a large stick :)
[14:23] <mkarnicki> duffydack: neat..
[14:23] <duffydack> could use grub2 with loop but its not as compatible with as many live things...
[14:24] <mkarnicki> duffydack: do you have to cat > or is it sufficient to throw that iso onto the stick in the file.iso form?
[14:25] <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.
[14:26] <duffydack> i have clonezilla, sysrecue, ubuntu 10.04 i386/amd, fedora, 10.10 amd64/386 and an encrypted partition for my home backups.
[14:27] <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.
[14:35] <mkarnicki> duffydack: thanks !!
[14:36] <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 ?
[14:37] <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
[14:38] <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!
[14:39] <duffydack> could go the chroot route, but this is simpler.
[14:39] <duffydack> I dont know a great deal. just what I need to.
[14:40] <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
[14:42] <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
[14:45] <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*
[14:46] <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 :) )
[14:47] <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!
[14:48] <duffydack> k
[14:58]  * duffydack is trying it in a vm.. curious.
[15:00]  * mkarnicki planned that for after few days :)
[15:01] <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.
[15:07] <mkarnicki> duffydack: i'll check that in the vm, too :) that's a great idea.
[15:12] <duffydack> installed lucid, made  few adjustments, now installing maverick fresh but told it to use the existing /home but not format..... lets see
[15:14] <duffydack> well, when asking for username setup.. the require my pass to decrypt home is greyed out/selected... good sign..
[15:22] <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 :)
[15:23] <duffydack> so, basically, its looking as easy as 123
[15:23] <mkarnicki> that's really awesome, thanks :D indeed!
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <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 ↑
[16:40] <benste> mkarnicki: what a mess, I moved to belgium a few weeks ago and can't buy those which i could in germany :-)
[16:41] <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
[16:42] <benste> but +2€ expensive
[16:42] <benste> btw. what was the name for the staging server - for opening the store directly in the browser ?
[16:45] <benste> mkarnicki: duanedesign which country are you from - could you try searching for this album on your stores ?
[16:59] <benste> mkarnicki:  duanedesign indeed using JAP now, it's a country specific issue
[17:00] <benste> guess I'm beginning to hate 7digital
[17:00] <benste> thanks for your help
[17:58] <mkarnicki> too bad I had to go away :<
[20:09] <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?
[20:20] <beuno> levu, hi!
[20:20] <beuno> file a bug, attach the patch
[20:21] <levu> ok, well, but i think this can be an upstream problem...
[20:21] <beuno> levu, as in on evolution?
[20:22] <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
[20:23] <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
[20:24] <levu> beuno: i got the source via apt-get source and fixed it locally
[20:25] <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?
[20:26] <beuno> levu, yeap
[20:26] <levu> beuno: ok :)
[20:26] <beuno> thanks levu
