| slestak | good morning | 14:44 |
| slestak | anyone up yet? | 14:45 |
| jjesse | yes | 14:49 |
| slestak | is the usb-creator.exe on beta2 a known issue? | 14:50 |
| slestak | i can select the iso, and the usb stick, but the Make Startup Disk button is not selectable | 14:50 |
| slestak | going to try formatting the usb stick | 14:52 |
| jjesse | no idea | 14:53 |
| jjesse | i actually burned a dvd this time | 14:53 |
| jjesse | think i'm going to reload my win7 to ubuntu | 14:53 |
| slestak | i know i can use unetbootin and whatnot. trying to use purely what came from ubuntu and its docs | 14:53 |
| slestak | my debmint crapped the bed today, so im trying beta2 | 14:54 |
| slestak | kernel panic | 14:54 |
| jjesse | my one tie up right now is gotomeeting | 14:54 |
| slestak | will gtm work in a vm? | 14:55 |
| jjesse | hopefully | 14:56 |
| jjesse | rebooting to begin the install and try it out | 14:57 |
| snap-l | Good morning | 15:17 |
| slestak | intresting experience with beta 2 install this am | 17:50 |
| slestak | i preserved my homedir (liek I do alot) and replaced debmint on anohter partition and the resulting natty isont functional | 17:51 |
| slestak | is not* | 17:51 |
| slestak | ive booted back to the live media to see what i can salvage | 17:52 |
| slestak | gonna head to #ubuntu+1 | 17:52 |
| brousch | probably a gnome settings issue | 17:52 |
| slestak | i bet | 17:53 |
| slestak | i think it might be perms | 17:53 |
| slestak | i dont know if I have write permisions to my homedir | 17:53 |
| slestak | it is listed at user 1000 | 17:53 |
| slestak | which according to the new /etc/passwd, the new user steve is also user 1000 | 17:54 |
| slestak | ive backed everything up | 17:54 |
| slestak | i might delete every hidden folder in ~ and see if unity will recreate what it needs. | 17:54 |
| slestak | should, based on teh fact you can create a new user at any moment that will have an empty homedir | 17:55 |
| slestak | gonna reboot, brb | 17:59 |
| slestak | hrm, no joy | 18:26 |
| snap-l | That's very strange. | 18:27 |
| greg-g | if I accidentally drag a tab out of a gnome-terminal window and it creates a separate new window, how do I put it back in that original group of tabs? | 19:17 |
| _stink_ | greg-g: i *think* you can create a new tab inthe window that was created when you dragged it off to show the tab bar | 19:18 |
| _stink_ | then drag the tab you want back onto the original window's tab bar | 19:19 |
| _stink_ | then close the spare tab in the new window | 19:19 |
| greg-g | aha! | 19:19 |
| greg-g | maybe! good idea | 19:19 |
| greg-g | oh that _stink_, always with the good ideas (it worked) | 19:20 |
| slestak | got a real problem this afternoon on my bigger inspiron | 19:20 |
| slestak | with ubiquity | 19:20 |
| _stink_ | greg-g: coolio | 19:20 |
| slestak | was talking with lcb in #ubuntu+1 | 19:20 |
| slestak | I am on my 5 install today, the first did not exhibit this problem, all since then have so I wounder if there something cached in the usb persistent file sys | 19:21 |
| greg-g | slestak: I just read the scrollback of what is in here, sounds not fun. I haven't dealt with multi-linux-os installs on the same machine in a looong time so I don't have any crazy ideas for you :/ | 19:21 |
| slestak | it is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1453020 problem | 19:21 |
| slestak | the fella i was talkign to was basically saying this is not a problem, that reinstalls are valid on empty media, I i called bunk. | 19:22 |
| slestak | if i have an empty partition or two, i should be able to install anywhere (within reason.) 10.04 was installed here, replaced by mint debian, now trying to put natty on here | 19:23 |
| slestak | with 2 formatted partitions, the install should be cake | 19:23 |
| slestak | does anyone know how to wipe out the persistent seciotn of the usb install media? | 19:24 |
| greg-g | no clue, other than blowing the whole usb clean | 19:24 |
| slestak | syslog is saying it cannot mount /target | 19:25 |
| slestak | it has something to do with ubiquity and reinstalls | 19:27 |
| jjesse | afternoon :) | 19:29 |
| greg-g | slestak: can you try to see what the reproducible parts are and create a bug report? | 19:30 |
| greg-g | attaching all relevant logs, of course | 19:30 |
| greg-g | you seem to know your way around at least part of the system, so someone with your knowledge is good for bug reports with these issues | 19:30 |
| greg-g | heya jjesse :) | 19:31 |
| jjesse | slestak: still trying to use the usb creator | 19:34 |
| jjesse | hello greg-g | 19:34 |
| slestak | i think i see what is occuring | 19:36 |
| slestak | I am using the 3rd option to choose my own partitons | 19:37 |
| slestak | jjesse: no, usbcreator never worked for me. i had to use unetbottin | 19:37 |
| slestak | on reinstall, when using partman, after you choose Forward, it starts formatting and copy files while you are setting keyboard and timezone | 19:38 |
| jjesse | slestak: ah bummer | 19:38 |
| slestak | after choosing timezone, it DOES NOT have the last window we used to have to promtp for user name | 19:39 |
| jjesse | reloaded my laptop got ready to build my vm of windows 7 and released i left my windows 7 iso at home | 19:39 |
| jjesse | yay for having a backup iso in the cloud | 19:39 |
| slestak | then it fails with error 10, gived me the option to continue anyway and then is stuck in a modal error "The user you selected is invalid" | 19:39 |
| slestak | that is the problem, when reinstalling using partman, it DOES NOT ask you to define your user. On the first install it did | 19:40 |
| slestak | i need to run, got to get some stuff for my daughter. | 19:41 |
| slestak | bbl | 19:41 |
| slestak | i am hesitant to file a bug, when if comes from a mortal, it is one of thousands | 19:41 |
| slestak | when it comes from a loco leader, it moves :( | 19:42 |
| slestak | i will file it, but that is what i think will occur | 19:42 |
| jjesse | umm maybe subscrbe people or post here so we can +1 | 19:43 |
| greg-g | slestak: good bug reports move, no matter who they are from | 19:43 |
| slestak | kk | 19:43 |
| slestak | kk | 19:43 |
| slestak | good points both | 19:43 |
| slestak | bbl, i am late | 19:43 |
| greg-g | people who see hundreds of bug a day are happy when they see one with good details/information so they can work on it | 19:43 |
| greg-g | later! | 19:43 |
| greg-g | snap-l: I'm glad we think the same regarding sparkles and spandex :) | 20:38 |
| jjesse | if i need the java plugin in my browser (chrome) what package do i install? | 21:55 |
| greg-g | doesn't chrome come bundled with binaries of everything? | 21:56 |
| jjesse | umm no idea need to use a website that requires java nad tells me the plugin is not installed | 21:57 |
| jjesse | installed icedtea-plugin | 21:57 |
| jjesse | or installing | 21:57 |
| === jjesse_ is now known as jjesse | ||
| greg-g | jjesse: did that work? | 22:32 |
| jjesse | don't know, getting a message that things were actively refused | 22:32 |
| jjesse | though not prompted for java | 22:33 |
| jjesse | might need a restart of chrome but don't want to kill my download | 22:33 |
| jjesse | @ in-laws and they are having problems w/ the intertubes | 22:35 |
| greg-g | lovely | 22:39 |
| jjesse | yeah well at least they have internet, about a year ago they were still on dial-up | 22:40 |
| slestak | hola, back | 23:00 |
| slestak | dang walmart sucks the life outta me | 23:00 |
| snap-l | Record Store Day = supported. | 23:13 |
| slestak | team, my ubiquity issue is 763155 | 23:39 |
| slestak | bug 763155 | 23:39 |
| slestak | greg-g: are you greg_g on lp? | 23:46 |
| greg-g | greg.grossmeier | 23:49 |
| slestak | subbing you to my bug | 23:50 |
| greg-g | cool | 23:51 |
| slestak | im kinda stuck here now. the install toasted my grub, so bleh | 23:51 |
| slestak | i feel my other partitions are ok, i just need to fix grub | 23:52 |
| slestak | can I so an apt-get update and upgrade to see if ubiquity has been patched since beta2 | 23:53 |
| greg-g | ruh roh: https://identi.ca/conversation/68886640 (see where they bring in Jane Silber and what she said at a GNOME advisory board meeting) | 23:56 |
| snap-l | Honestly, I think Harmony should just go away | 23:57 |
| snap-l | seriously, people are taking this stuff way too seriously | 23:57 |
| greg-g | well, I may be biased (given my day job) but I think copyright issues are pretty serious | 23:59 |
