[00:01] <layn> bdmurray, hello brian sorry to bother you but I wanted to ask you something, there is a quick way to rename the NTFS file systems in Ubuntu 8.10
[00:22] <yofel> layn: rename as in "change fs label"? the ntfslabel command does that
[00:23] <micahg> layn: 2 things, 1. that's a support question, 2. that's an EOL Ubuntu version
[00:26] <yofel> layn: and only ping brian if you actually need to talk to *him* please, usually we can help too ;)
[00:37] <layn> ok
[00:37] <layn> kiss
[03:14] <johnyh> hey guys you knew there is this bug that wubi installed ubuntu stops booting both ubuntu and even the windows?
[03:14] <johnyh> dualboot system (from Wubi), after upgrade (of kernel)? it does not start - GRUB stops booting with error: no such device: <some UUID>  grub rescue>   How to fix that?
[03:15] <micahg> johnyh: try asking in #ubuntu
[03:16] <johnyh> right  but any of you gents can write down this bug? looks serious to me...
[03:16] <micahg> johnyh: feel free to file it
[03:19] <johnyh> ok, this is this error  https://bugs.launchpad.net/wubi/+bug/541607
[03:19] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 541607 in wubi "Lucid: Wubi drops immediately into grub shell on reboot (affects: 4) (dups: 1) (heat: 1)" [Undecided,Fix released]
[03:19] <johnyh> this bug is NOT FIXED, and looks quite critical to me
[03:20] <johnyh> imaging rampaging new users of linux, when Ubuntu-Wubi destroy itself AND even their ability to boot into windows!
[03:20] <micahg> bug 609815

[03:21] <johnyh> micahg: ubuntu-wubi BRICKS the damn thing, and the bug is importance=undecided ????
[03:21] <johnyh> is it not critical?
[03:21] <micahg> johnyh: we don't have control over those bugs
[03:21] <micahg> we == ubuntu0bugs
[03:21] <johnyh> who has?
[03:22] <johnyh> I wonder was it good idea to give wubi a try at all!
[03:22] <micahg> johnyh: was this with a lucid CD?
[03:22] <johnyh> np, wubi.exe
[03:22] <johnyh> *no
[03:23] <micahg> maybe that's not the right bug
[03:24] <micahg> which version of Ubuntu?
[03:24] <johnyh> dunno
[03:24] <micahg> maybe it's bug 610898

[03:24] <johnyh> the newest wubi. probably newest ubuntu
[03:25] <johnyh> greate way to popularize linux
[03:26] <johnyh> Install wubi, it is so easy and sexy, take me, take me now
[03:26] <johnyh> haha sorry bro, now can't use either system. Buy a new laptop, looser! (c) wubi/ubuntu team
[03:27] <johnyh> anyway. I recommend you fix this before you approach people pretending this is a real software.
[03:27]  * micahg can
[03:27]  * micahg doesn't like the attitude
[03:29] <greg-g> sorry you had to deal with that, micahg
[03:30] <micahg> greg-g: it happens :)
[03:30] <greg-g> but way to stay calm :)
[03:30]  * micahg can't help much with installer issues anyways
[12:30] <sturmer> Hello everyone, I'd have a question :)
[12:31] <sturmer> about the bug reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/692178
[12:31] <ubot2> Launchpad bug 692178 in empathy (Ubuntu) "Changing status from offline to available is not integrated well to notification area (affects: 1) (heat: 6)" [Undecided,New]
[12:32] <sturmer> the question is: i tried the action the bug reporter is complaining about on my machine, and it actually works
[12:33] <sturmer> problem is, should I ask some more details about his platform to ensure I am reproducing the bug correctly? (in this case I'd reply him that it is not a bug)
[12:33] <sturmer> Any suggestion appreciated
[14:19] <ElPasmo> Hi all, I think bug 688857 should set to Triaged with Low importance, can someone do it for me? :)

[17:03] <ElPasmo> hggdh, Whislist is an importance issue? I thought it was a status one :) Then, I think bug 692205 should be set Wishlist... can anyone set it for me?

[17:05] <hggdh> ElPasmo: I am confused. Where do you see 'wishlist' in the possible status values?
[17:06] <ElPasmo> That was my doubt, I couldn't find it and I thought it was an status...
[17:06] <ElPasmo> Now I know is and importance level...
[17:06] <hggdh> ElPasmo: anyway:"done :-)
[17:06] <ElPasmo> Still mixing a lot of concepts :P
