| iNfRaC00L | yes i did.. only Internal Audio Analog Stereo there | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| iNfRaC00L | nvm i can still use alsamixer if i need to . thanx anyway | 00:00 |
| Se7en | hm ... | 00:00 |
| Se7en | yw | 00:01 |
| Se7en | sorry , not that brilliant with KDE | 00:02 |
| iNfRaC00L | are you satisfied with mint | 00:02 |
| iNfRaC00L | it runs gnome , right? | 00:03 |
| Se7en | ohyea ..absolutely | 00:03 |
| anj_ | isn't removing pulseaudio an option? | 00:03 |
| Se7en | actually it has all sort of flavors | 00:03 |
| iNfRaC00L | anj_: and that leaves me with what audio support | 00:03 |
| Se7en | Fluxbox Xfce KDE Gnome LXDE | 00:04 |
| anj_ | I have it uninstalled and no problems with audio | 00:04 |
| iNfRaC00L | anj_: will try | 00:04 |
| anj_ | but I do have a soundcard with hardware-mixing | 00:04 |
| iNfRaC00L | Se7en: do you update offten? | 00:05 |
| Se7en | iNfRaC00L: I suggest you try that first on a Live CD | 00:07 |
| Se7en | just in case | 00:07 |
| Se7en | you mean like a system update ? | 00:07 |
| iNfRaC00L | what I've learned in KDE that if i works fine - don't update | 00:07 |
| iNfRaC00L | yeah | 00:08 |
| frogonwheels | iNfRaC00L: where's your sense of adventure? | 00:08 |
| iNfRaC00L | i am a noob though | 00:08 |
| iNfRaC00L | :D | 00:08 |
| Se7en | well I'm using the Stock KDE that came with Mint so .. | 00:08 |
| iNfRaC00L | on backup drive | 00:08 |
| Se7en | <------------ total n00b | 00:09 |
| anj_ | anyone who doesn't have a laptop should just get a soundblaster audigy 2 zs or something | 00:09 |
| anj_ | er, for some rather variable value of "or something" | 00:09 |
| iNfRaC00L | yea, but i have that onboard thingy for now | 00:10 |
| Se7en | KDE played well with my intel soundcard | 00:10 |
| Se7en | which one you use iNfRaC00L ? | 00:10 |
| anj_ | my onboard thingy still had 5 channels, so I didn't have to muck around with sound servers | 00:10 |
| iNfRaC00L | Intel HDA Audio | 00:11 |
| frogonwheels | anj_: does a SB Live! (EMU10k1) count ? ;P | 00:11 |
| iNfRaC00L | 82801I (ICH9 Family) HD Audio Controller | 00:11 |
| Se7en | Audio: Card Intel 82801G (ICH7 Family) High Definition Audio Controller driver HDA Intel BusID: 00:1b.0 | 00:12 |
| Se7en | Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Version 1.0.20 | 00:12 |
| anj_ | well, when you run "aplay -l", you can see how many hardware channels you have | 00:12 |
| Se7en | almost the same | 00:12 |
| iNfRaC00L | Se7en: one | 00:12 |
| iNfRaC00L | card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC1200 Analog [ALC1200 Analog] | 00:13 |
| anj_ | can anyone install KDM themes? | 00:20 |
| anj_ | from the system settings module? | 00:20 |
| anj_ | eep, floodbot is gonna get me if I continue like this | 00:20 |
| James147 | anj_: via the "get new stuff" button? | 00:21 |
| anj_ | James147: in KDE 4.5.1, system settings -> login screen -> theme -> Get new theme | 00:22 |
| anj_ | but it does bring up a window titled "Get Hot New Stuff" | 00:22 |
| James147 | anj_: yeah, quite a few of the themes dont work with that method... its improving slowly over time but the ones that dont are best grabed directly from kde-look.org | 00:22 |
| iNfRaC00L | anj_: it says installed but nothing happens | 00:23 |
| iNfRaC00L | no theme | 00:23 |
| anj_ | yeah, it used to work before but now... | 00:24 |
| anj_ | and *something* keeps killing my font settings | 00:25 |
| anj_ | returning them to a very small point size ubuntu font | 00:25 |
| anj_ | meh | 00:25 |
| anj_ | nice font, though | 00:25 |
| iNfRaC00L | smiliar stuff happens to me lately | 00:26 |
| iNfRaC00L | are those thinmgs so often? | 00:26 |
| anj_ | it started when I upgraded to the Maverick release candidate | 00:26 |
| Se7en | how do I alter that bouncing icon right nxt my cursor ? | 00:27 |
| James147 | anj_: try creating a new user, see if the fonts behave right on that... if they do then its a problem with one of the config files | 00:27 |
| anj_ | James147, might try that later. any idea *which* config file it might be? | 00:28 |
| James147 | anj_: not sure, but what I generally do is rename the .kde folder on the orignal user then test it... if it works then then rename it back and lookin inside that :) | 00:29 |
| anj_ | Se7en: in KDE 4.5.1: bring up System Settings, go to Application and System Notifications, go to Launch Feedback | 00:29 |
| iNfRaC00L | anj_: bouncing cursor -> Common Appearance->Application and System Notifications->Launch Feedback | 00:30 |
| Se7en | thank you | 00:30 |
| anj_ | James147: ugh! :) | 00:30 |
| anj_ | James147: too much stress for too little now. :p | 00:30 |
| James147 | anj_: note that its best to rename .kde when you arent loged in :) (at least in the gui) | 00:31 |
| anj_ | James147: yah I just suspect it's a package being upgraded that resets the fonts | 00:31 |
| anj_ | just had about a million upgrades that may have caused this | 00:32 |
| anj_ | oh, and how about the quick access widget? if I put any of those on my desktop and set their location to (say) smb:/ or some FTP directory, they crash plasma-desktop every time. Poo. | 00:34 |
| iNfRaC00L | do you have that desktop-folder widget? | 00:37 |
| anj_ | have it? yes, but not using one | 00:37 |
| anj_ | er, wait, what's desktop-folder? | 00:37 |
| iNfRaC00L | i think that's name of the widget... nvm | 00:38 |
| anj_ | folder view | 00:38 |
| anj_ | quick access | 00:38 |
| anj_ | not sure desktop-folder exists. | 00:38 |
| iNfRaC00L | folder view, right.. anyway if u middleclick right below + sign it opens folders in tooltip-like window | 00:39 |
| iNfRaC00L | discovered it by accident | 00:40 |
| anj_ | if you use the right plasma desktop theme, you can even see the "invisible" icon that's under the "+" sign | 00:40 |
| anj_ | it's an up-arrow | 00:40 |
| anj_ | and a left-click will do | 00:41 |
| iNfRaC00L | yes it truly works, i just see no icon :) | 00:41 |
| anj_ | yah it depends on the theme if you can see the icon. | 00:42 |
| anj_ | I guess they haven't all been updated for this feature yet. | 00:42 |
| iNfRaC00L | and i thought i've discovered an easter egg :) | 00:42 |
| anj_ | it confused me for a while... | 00:43 |
| anj_ | the folder-popup thingie was automatic for a while, now it's not anymore | 00:43 |
| anj_ | now you have to click on the up-arrow icon (which is invisible in some themes) | 00:43 |
| iNfRaC00L | uf, getting late . gotta sleep . cu l8ta | 00:45 |

| lubun2 | i'm running the kubuntu netbook live and I don't see the global menu..how to get it? | 01:46 |
| lubun2 | I thought this is by default? | 01:46 |
| Se7en | I dont think that Netbook versions have Kickoff by defaukt lubun2 | 01:48 |
| Se7en | not quite sure of that though | 01:49 |
| lubun2 | look at what's new for 10.10 in kubuntu.org | 01:49 |
| deborah | i am using kubuntu 8.10. is it better to do wait for 10 Oct or should i upgrade to the latest now? | 02:02 |
| deborah | or does it even matter? | 02:04 |
| Se7en | My suggestion is wait for the release , updating may be a stressful process ya know | 02:04 |
| moetunes | deborah: from 8.10 you can only upgrade to 9.04 | 02:04 |
| deborah | and then from 904 i can go to 10? | 02:04 |
| Se7en | ohyea what he said ^^^ | 02:04 |
| gasorian | hola | 02:04 |
| gasorian | alguien de El Salvador?? | 02:05 |
| moetunes | deborah: to get one of the 10. releases you will have to reinstall or upgrade through all the releases in between | 02:05 |
| moetunes | !pt | gasorian | 02:05 |
| ubottu | gasorian: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigado. | 02:05 |
| deborah | As long as it doesnt take too long. Someone said it didnt take long. | 02:05 |
| moetunes | deborah: it depends on your download speed | 02:06 |
| Se7en | well except when its a LTS version | 02:06 |
| deborah | cable | 02:06 |
| deborah | i am downloading 9.04 now, it will take 42 minutes. That is pretty good. | 02:07 |
| deborah | What is an LTS version? | 02:07 |
| moetunes | deborah: personally I would reinstall to get the benefits of the newer ext4 filesystem | 02:07 |
| moetunes | !lts | 02:07 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) | 02:07 |
| deborah | Okay. That is what my friend said. I didnt need to wait for the next one on the 10th. I could just upgrade to it now. | 02:08 |
| moetunes | deborah: to upgrade you use the upgrade manager not the install iso | 02:08 |
| deborah | Thanks Moetunes. I found it. :) | 02:09 |
| moetunes | :] | 02:09 |
| deborah | Is there a big difference btween the 4 thingy, and now? | 02:11 |
| moetunes | not so much - it uses kde 4.5.1 instead of kde4.4 | 02:11 |
| moetunes | http://kubuntu.org has the news on the differences | 02:12 |
| deborah | Thanks again | 02:13 |
| moetunes | np :] | 02:13 |
| deborah | Can i do a clean install using the package manager? | 02:15 |
| moetunes | not afaik ... | 02:16 |
| moetunes | !install | 02:16 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - Don't want to use a CD? See http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate | 02:16 |

| `DT` | i keep having problems running a program. keeps telling me "permission denied" | 02:25 |
| `DT` | i'm the file owner. i have full permission for it to everyone, and it still doesn't work | 02:26 |
| `DT` | made it excutable and konsole says the file doesn't exist | 02:26 |
| `DT` | so....any ideas? it's the ShoutCast DNAS server i'm having problems with | 02:27 |
| moetunes | I would use the tab button to autocomplete the path to make sure | 02:27 |
| moetunes | !tab | 02:27 |
| ubottu | You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 02:27 |
| `DT` | doesn't do anything | 02:27 |
| moetunes | what does ls -l return for the file? | 02:28 |
| `DT` | it shows me the two files in the directory. one is an configuration file and the other is the program | 02:29 |
| moetunes | can you post the relevant return here? | 02:31 |
| `DT` | lemme log in from that computer | 02:32 |

| moetunes | `DT`: weird - try running file ./sc_serv | 02:42 |
| moetunes | file is a program btw | 02:42 |
| `DT` | moetunes: http://pastebin.org/71827 | 02:42 |
| `DT` | it's a 32bit program...could it be a problem i'm running it on a 64bit machine? | 02:43 |
| `DT` | (cause i know of several winblows programs like that) | 02:43 |
| moetunes | that could very well be it - you could check the apps website/forum for that info - I don't know the app | 02:45 |
| `DT` | nothing there :/ | 02:45 |
| `DT` | ok, skipping that, on to the next: can i install an RPM file? | 02:46 |
| moetunes | lets see what google will turn up | 02:46 |
| moetunes | there is normally a deb for most apps if there is an rpm - iirc there is an app that converts rpms to debs in the repos | 02:46 |
| `DT` | ok, will look for that | 02:47 |
| `DT` | or should i just use the tar.gz? | 02:47 |
| moetunes | rpm2deb or something like that - I've never needed to use it just heard it mentioned | 02:47 |
| moetunes | I would use the tar.gz and checkinstall to install it | 02:48 |
| moetunes | !checkinstall | 02:48 |
| ubottu | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 02:48 |
| `DT` | ok, thanks | 02:48 |
| `DT` | going to look in to the other program now | 02:48 |
| moetunes | `DT`: do you have ia32 installed to run 32bit apps? | 02:50 |
| moetunes | !info ia32-libs | 02:51 |
| ubottu | Package ia32-libs does not exist in lucid | 02:51 |
| moetunes | !find ia32 | 02:51 |
| ubottu | Found: lsb-core, lsb-cxx, lsb-desktop, lsb-graphics, lsb-printing | 02:51 |
| `DT` | if lucid is 10.04, then nope | 02:51 |
| moetunes | !info icecast | 02:56 |
| ubottu | Package icecast does not exist in lucid | 02:56 |
| moetunes | seems shoutcast has trouble on 64bit | 02:56 |
| `DT` | bah | 02:56 |
| `DT` | see if i can't get it to run on a 32 bit i got lying around then | 02:57 |
| `DT` | actually...i might have gotten it ton install from a .deb using alien to make one from the rpm | 02:58 |
| izinucs | Is upgrading 10.04 stock to 4.5.x pretty painless? should I expect issues? | 02:58 |
| moetunes | izinucs: from what I've seen on here it is a good idea to try it with a new user first | 03:00 |
| izinucs | moetunes: new user? isn't it a system wide upgrade? | 03:00 |
| moetunes | izinucs: it only upgrades the kde part | 03:01 |
| moetunes | izinucs: but it can mess things up in the dot files having two diff kde configs afaik | 03:01 |
| izinucs | moetunes: ah.. so on boot do I switch "sessions" to the newer one? | 03:02 |
| moetunes | izinucs: in your home folder now you have config files for kde4.4 - using a new user will not mix the config files for 4.5 with the ones you have for 4.4 | 03:03 |
| moetunes | so make a new user is best afaik | 03:03 |
| izinucs | moetunes: so if I go back to the old user I might have issues with the dot files is what you're saying.. right? | 03:03 |
| `DT` | ok...anyone know anything about logging i to CVS? | 03:04 |
| moetunes | izinucs: yep | 03:04 |
| moetunes | izinucs: FAQ: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/FAQ | 03:04 |
| `DT` | nvm, gonna mess with it later | 03:04 |
| `DT` | thanks for the help moetunes | 03:04 |
| moetunes | np :] | 03:05 |
| izinucs | moetunes: gotchya .. pretty similar to a release upgrade that get's borked.. wonderfull.. of course I could take all the dot files and put them into a zip folder | 03:05 |
| moetunes | izinucs: you would just need to do that with the kde ones | 03:05 |
| izinucs | moetunes: not the gnome ones.. | 03:06 |
| izinucs | moetunes: that link is pretty generic.. nothing specific that I could find for upgrading to 4.5.x | 03:06 |
| moetunes | izinucs: nope 'cause kde doesn't write to them | 03:06 |
| moetunes | o | 03:06 |
| moetunes | I haven't bothered with 4.5 yet | 03:07 |
| izinucs | moetunes: I'm curious why during a kde upgrade it wouldn't also upgrade the dot files.. upgrading from one release to another does. | 03:07 |
| izinucs | typically | 03:07 |
| moetunes | izinucs: I don't know - I am just going off what I've seen on here | 03:08 |
| moetunes | I've never done it myself | 03:08 |
| izinucs | ah... k | 03:08 |
| moetunes | izinucs: you could again in a few hours when more ppl are awake | 03:09 |

| moetunes | but why what? | 11:23 |
| bigboss | but why there isn't nimbuzz on kubuntu | 11:24 |
| moetunes | since it is not in the repositories you will need to find a deb or tar.gz and build it and use checkinstall to install it | 11:25 |

| phoenix_ | need help with kbluetooth | 17:44 |
| phoenix_ | not able to send files to my mobie from computer | 17:45 |
| snarkster | phoenix_: yah it doesnt work | 17:45 |
| snarkster | cant send files to mine either | 17:46 |
| phoenix_ | snarkster: any other working method? | 17:46 |
| phoenix_ | snarkster: even bluedevil is not working | 17:46 |
| snarkster | yah i know | 17:46 |
| snarkster | ive got a G1 with bluetooth file transfer working, still cant send or receive files | 17:47 |
| phoenix_ | snarkster: i tried in windows , the windows default soft didnt work but the soft that came with the bluetooth that is bluesoliel works | 17:48 |
| phoenix_ | snarkster: but bluesoliel stopped support after 9.10 | 17:48 |
| snarkster | right works in windows just not kubuntu/ubuntu | 17:48 |
| BajK_ | hmm... ubuntu's installer is much more elegant than kubuntuS | 17:49 |
| phoenix_ | BajK_: i agree | 17:49 |
| BajK_ | that "guess keyboard layout" is a real nice feature | 17:50 |
| BajK_ | and I really like Ubuntu's overall color scheme much better than that washy, light, ugly KDE style^^ | 17:50 |
| BajK_ | It's sad that Kubuntu is just an Ubuntu with KDE while Ubuntu's gnome is so much improved and superior to the normal gnome | 17:50 |
| phoenix_ | BajK_: ya i dont like the gray with light blue. | 17:51 |
| phoenix_ | BajK_: but i like kde better than gnome for looks and functionalty | 17:51 |
| BajK_ | Dark themes aren't mine either but that purple-orange-mix looks really good :) and the default Kde theme "oxygen" is just aweful in my eyes^^ | 17:52 |
| BajK_ | phoenix_: mee too but I consider Ubuntu more elegang than Kubuntu although I could never imagine working with gnome (been using KDE since 1999) | 17:52 |
| BajK_ | and I miss those window snapping features. a computer without it is not usable for me anymore^^ | 17:52 |
| phoenix_ | BajK_: i like the performace of gnome | 17:53 |
| phoenix_ | snarkster: did you find any workaround | 17:53 |
| snarkster | work around for bluetooth transfer? | 17:53 |
| phoenix_ | snarkster: ya, sending files from computer to mobile | 17:54 |
| snarkster | ftp | 17:54 |
| BajK_ | phoenix_: that is one of the only things i like. the performance. but I have 4 cores, so that does not matter^^ and also Ubuntu's gdm is so much more elegant.. reminds me of Windows Longhorn. Kubuntu's just sucks. You cannot even choose a user, you have to TYPE it in. (And no folks, there is NO login by default that gives you a field to click on) | 17:56 |
| phoenix_ | BajK_: you can choose the user in kubuntu | 18:00 |

| BajK_ | his/her | 18:07 |
| BajK_ | in ubuntu you can just click on it | 18:08 |
| phoenix_ | BajK_:try using the default dialog | 18:08 |
| snarkster | later guys | 18:08 |
| BajK_ | that looks ugly | 18:08 |
| BajK_ | there is no themed one | 18:08 |
| phoenix_ | BajK_: then use a different login screen that shows users panel | 18:09 |
| BajK_ | phoenix_: and why isn't there one by default? | 18:10 |
| phoenix_ | BajK_: dont know | 18:10 |

| jhutchins_lt | OSnotfound: Have you tried booting to the drive? | 18:39 |
| jhutchins_lt | NamShub: Your system sees the turntable as a soundcard? | 18:40 |
| OSnotfound | I was trying to do this without bringing my system down. | 18:40 |
| OSnotfound | ... seems like I have to unlock it with the bios | 18:40 |
| OSnotfound | hope this pos dell box can do it. | 18:40 |
| jhutchins_lt | Ah, which probably requires THAT particular BIOS. | 18:40 |
| OSnotfound | I hope not | 18:41 |
| OSnotfound | will pick this up in 10 mins. ganna plug this into the mainboard. | 18:42 |

| OSnotfound | Are there any programs out there that might try to spin this hard drive up? | 19:04 |
| jhutchins_lt | OSnotfound: What we may be dealing with here is that the different bioses hash the password differently. | 19:06 |
| OSnotfound | It was from a laptop, I suppose it could have been tied to the TPM Chip as well... if it has one | 19:08 |

| anthony | hi im having trouble getting this game to work its called cabal and when i start it up it says Sorry This application cannot run under a viryual machine with the headline being Themida, as there anyway around this] | 19:55 |
| Scunizi | anthony: does viryual = virtual? | 19:55 |
| anthony | yes | 19:55 |
| anthony | sorry typo | 19:56 |
| anthony | im dislexic | 19:56 |
| Scunizi | so you're running this game in a vm of kubuntu? | 19:56 |
| anthony | yup | 19:56 |
| anthony | im usuing a stable version of wine | 19:56 |
| Scunizi | ah.. so it's a windows game, in a vm of kubuntu.. are you using virtualbox? | 19:57 |
| anthony | nope | 19:57 |
| Scunizi | what virtual machine are you using? | 19:57 |
| anthony | no idea all i installed was wine | 19:57 |
| Scunizi | no..no.. the kubuntu os is loaded in a virtual machine (as you said) .. to do that you have to use a program that will allow you to run a virtual machine.. what program is that? | 19:58 |
| anthony | uhh no clue | 19:58 |
| Scunizi | ok.. what's the host OS? | 19:58 |
| anthony | kubuntu | 19:59 |
| anthony | 9.04 i think | 19:59 |
| Scunizi | no.. from what you said that is the guest.. is the only OS on your computer kubuntu? | 19:59 |
| anthony | i have vista | 19:59 |
| anthony | partitioned side by side | 20:00 |
| Scunizi | ok.. now we're getting closer.. did you use wubi to install kubuntu? | 20:00 |
| Scunizi | so you have a dual boot? | 20:00 |
| anthony | i installed froma disc | 20:00 |
| anthony | yes | 20:00 |
| Scunizi | yes to dual boot? | 20:00 |
| anthony | yes | 20:00 |
| Scunizi | when you booted to the disk for install was that from a cold boot or was vista running at the time? | 20:00 |
| anthony | cold | 20:01 |
| Scunizi | ok.. so a true dual boot. | 20:03 |
| Scunizi | the game you're trying to run does it require direct X ? | 20:03 |
| anthony | yess | 20:03 |
| anthony | pretty high graphic game | 20:03 |
| Scunizi | then it won't work.. direct x will not work in wine. that is a propitiatory thing from microsoft.. you have to run it in windows. | 20:04 |
| anthony | ive installed dx8 drivers on linux b4 why cant we do that now? | 20:04 |
| Scunizi | no idea.. | 20:06 |
| anthony | and again that doesnt make since guildwars requires dx9 and it plays just fine | 20:06 |
| anthony | aight man thanks for ur help. | 20:06 |
| Peace- | hi channel | 20:06 |
| Scunizi | some programs will also use opengl.. perhaps guildwars does that.. you'd be better off checking with #winehq or their site to check on compatibility | 20:07 |

| BluesKaj | only if you have more than 4G RAM, hence you should have a swap of about 4-5G | 21:29 |
| vbgunz | I don't understand though, why not give up just 6GB to swap? | 21:30 |

| rork_ | kyubutsu: computer and recently used are redundant, favorites, leave and programs are enough. I guess it would be practical if there was a setting for which menu's to activate. | 21:41 |
| kyubutsu | so, a kickoff with applications, favorites and leave; i still would favor recently used against favorites anyway | 21:46 |
| kyubutsu | now, how to get that done, you know? | 21:46 |
| rork_ | I'm afraid they removed a lot of settings like this from KDE 3, I don't know any other way then grabbing the source, removing some parts and make a new widget | 21:49 |

| djSeeque | Hi, if I install 10.10 RC today, will it automatically get updated to the released version after Monday (via package updates), or will I have to reinstall? | 22:09 |
| BluesKaj | djSeeque, it will automatically update to the final release when you update | 22:14 |

| _Wise_ | hi * | 22:27 |
| === _motti_ is now known as yotam | ||
| BluesKaj | djSeeque, a bit of advice , if you haven't done so in the past . Install kubuntu to a / partition and create a /home partition for your data . Then, next time you do a clean install , just istall the OS to / and your dataon the /home partition will be unaffected. | 22:28 |
| Erthe | Last night I installed a security update/some bug fix updates and now I can't boot unless I boot from one of the older kernel versions, did anyone else experience this? | 22:29 |
| djSeeque | BluesKaj: that makes a lot of sense, and it's occurred to me before | 22:29 |
| djSeeque | maybe I'll do it for the Maverick install | 22:29 |
| Erthe | Booting with 2.6.32-25 causes a kernel panic | 22:29 |
| BluesKaj | djSeeque, it's common practice by ppl who follow each new release | 22:30 |
| djSeeque | BluesKaj: sure, seems obvious in retrospect. Thanks! | 22:31 |
| BluesKaj | djSeeque, np :) | 22:31 |
| djSeeque | any other suggestions about partitioning? Up to now I only use two, for / and /boot. Now I'll add /home. anything else obvious? | 22:33 |
