alex_mayorgais the bug bot on holiday?01:07
penguin42hmm01:10
penguin42alex_mayorga: There's a vbox oops in those logs, doubt it's the underlying cause but it might be worth forcibly removing any virtual box stuff01:14
alex_mayorgapenguin42: uninstall vboxose?01:14
penguin42yeh01:15
alex_mayorgapenguin42: removing...01:16
alex_mayorgapenguin42: now they're gone01:24

patdk-wknperry, that has to be very annoying, I dunno what I would do with unity on my 4 screen desktop13:31
nperry?13:37
patdk-wkthe screenshot13:41
patdk-wkhaving to move the mouse between screens to access the menubar13:41
patdk-wkor in my case, move it through 4 screens to get to it13:42
* penguin42 tries to remember - how did MacOS solve that?13:43
patdk-wkdunno, never touch a mac here13:44
penguin42I just ask since Macs have a similar paradigm and have had multihead for literally decades13:50
patdk-wkI actually have macos in a vm, I should attempt to run it again, and try a dualscreen in it13:51
patdk-wkdunno if it would work though13:51
patdk-wkrunning macos in a vm isn't the easiest of things13:52
penguin42patdk-wk: Getting dual head in a VM isn't easy either!13:55
patdk-wkpenguin42, I have no issues doing dual head with my windows vm's :) I haven't tried ubuntu dual head vm's yet, but ya, I normally don't use them that way14:03
penguin42patdk-wk: Which VM system do you use that is easy to do dual head on?14:03

h4fhey people. how do I convert on the fly to 64 bit with no reinstall from cd ?16:03
VolkodavI don't think it is possible16:03
Jeruvyh4f: you don't, you will need to reinstall16:03
h4fJeruvy:  there is no other ways ?16:04
penguin42h4f: There is no sane way to do it16:04
h4fpenguin42:  are there insane ways to do  it ?16:04
VolkodavI know some gentoo users did that16:05
penguin42h4f: You can create a 64bit chroot with debootstrap, it won't work until you boot a 64bit kernel though, and then you can swap the two sets around - very very messy and loads of things will need manually straightening out16:06
kuvuh4f: you can set up vbox disks - windoze, 64-bit linux, etc16:28
h4f kuvu: and what to do with them ?16:29
kuvuh4f: whatever you want to do on the fly?16:30
h4fkuvu: I just wonted to swithc my system from 32 bit install to 64 bit16:30
h4f kuvu: and realized that there are no easy ways to do it :D16:30
h4fbesides total reinstall16:31
kuvuh4f: in that case re-install is the best16:31
=== SolidLiq is now known as solid_liq
kuvuh4f: much easier on the long run16:32
Yorvykh4f, create a small partition and install 64 bit os then mount the old partition as /home16:33
h4fYorvyk:  yes that might work it is the similar to reinstalling16:34
=== Guest96026 is now known as MichealH
Yorvykh4f, It was quicker than restoring all the data when a friend did it.16:36
alex_mayorgahow can I check the validity of all packages on a system?16:44
alex_mayorgasomething like checksuming them against the repository or similar16:45
patdk-wkheh, I need to upgrade mine from 32 to 64bit, but remounting /home isn't good enough :(16:49
patdk-wkI have lots and lots of edits in /etc, /usr/share, /var, ...16:49
coz_alex_mayorga,   look here    https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomatedTesting16:50
patdk-wkjust going install 64bit to a new drive, and spend time re-editing everything16:50
bjsniderpatdk-wk, it might work if you reinstall without reformatting/repartitioning16:55
patdk-wkI think that would just cause package madness :)16:56
bjsnideranother way is you could copy the /etc directory and whatever else is edited and past them into the new install to replace what's there16:56
patdk-wkya, that is basically what I'm going do16:56
patdk-wkit just takes time :(16:57
patdk-wkeverything is running fine on it now, just 64bit vm's are slow16:57
patdk-wkcause of the 32bit host os16:57
patdk-wkand well, programs are limited to like 3gigs of ram16:57
kuvu64-bit host and then 32-bit guest is better imo16:58
patdk-wkis kcrypt still limited to single cpu?16:58
patdk-wkkuvu, yep, but have to upgrade the host first :)16:58
kuvureinstall is best16:59
patdk-wkI think the cpu I had a few years ago didn't support 64bit16:59
patdk-wkthen it didn't matter, cause the motherboard only supported 3gigs ram16:59
patdk-wknow on a new system and stuck on 32bit :)16:59
kuvureinstall shouldn't take that long17:00
patdk-wkit doesn't17:00
patdk-wkjust resetting up everything after it's installed, does17:00
patdk-wkapache, mythtv, openvpn, nfs, samba, squid, firewall, mysql, WDE, dhcp3, radvd, dns, munin, ...17:02
patdk-wknothing in it self is hard, just 5min here, 5min there, ..., adds up to a while17:02

QuintasanCan someone take a look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/694825 ? It's driving me mad, my installation crashes almost right after booting. Can anyone reproduce this or it's something faulty with my installation?17:43
