[00:36] // [01:46] ?? [14:44] good morning [14:45] anyone up yet? [14:49] yes [14:50] is the usb-creator.exe on beta2 a known issue? [14:50] i can select the iso, and the usb stick, but the Make Startup Disk button is not selectable [14:52] going to try formatting the usb stick [14:53] no idea [14:53] i actually burned a dvd this time [14:53] think i'm going to reload my win7 to ubuntu [14:53] i know i can use unetbootin and whatnot. trying to use purely what came from ubuntu and its docs [14:54] my debmint crapped the bed today, so im trying beta2 [14:54] kernel panic [14:54] my one tie up right now is gotomeeting [14:55] will gtm work in a vm? [14:56] hopefully [14:57] rebooting to begin the install and try it out [15:17] Good morning [17:50] intresting experience with beta 2 install this am [17:51] i preserved my homedir (liek I do alot) and replaced debmint on anohter partition and the resulting natty isont functional [17:51] is not* [17:52] ive booted back to the live media to see what i can salvage [17:52] gonna head to #ubuntu+1 [17:52] probably a gnome settings issue [17:53] i bet [17:53] i think it might be perms [17:53] i dont know if I have write permisions to my homedir [17:53] it is listed at user 1000 [17:54] which according to the new /etc/passwd, the new user steve is also user 1000 [17:54] ive backed everything up [17:54] i might delete every hidden folder in ~ and see if unity will recreate what it needs. [17:55] should, based on teh fact you can create a new user at any moment that will have an empty homedir [17:59] gonna reboot, brb [18:26] hrm, no joy [18:27] That's very strange. [19:17] 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? [19:18] <_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 [19:19] <_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] aha! [19:19] maybe! good idea [19:20] oh that _stink_, always with the good ideas (it worked) [19:20] got a real problem this afternoon on my bigger inspiron [19:20] with ubiquity [19:20] <_stink_> greg-g: coolio [19:20] was talking with lcb in #ubuntu+1 [19:21] 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] 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] it is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1453020 problem [19:22] 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. [19:23] 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] with 2 formatted partitions, the install should be cake [19:24] does anyone know how to wipe out the persistent seciotn of the usb install media? [19:24] no clue, other than blowing the whole usb clean [19:25] syslog is saying it cannot mount /target [19:27] it has something to do with ubiquity and reinstalls [19:29] afternoon :) [19:30] slestak: can you try to see what the reproducible parts are and create a bug report? [19:30] attaching all relevant logs, of course [19:30] 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 [19:31] heya jjesse :) [19:34] slestak: still trying to use the usb creator [19:34] hello greg-g [19:36] i think i see what is occuring [19:37] I am using the 3rd option to choose my own partitons [19:37] jjesse: no, usbcreator never worked for me. i had to use unetbottin [19:38] on reinstall, when using partman, after you choose Forward, it starts formatting and copy files while you are setting keyboard and timezone [19:38] slestak: ah bummer [19:39] after choosing timezone, it DOES NOT have the last window we used to have to promtp for user name [19:39] reloaded my laptop got ready to build my vm of windows 7 and released i left my windows 7 iso at home [19:39] yay for having a backup iso in the cloud [19:39] 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" [19:40] that is the problem, when reinstalling using partman, it DOES NOT ask you to define your user. On the first install it did [19:41] i need to run, got to get some stuff for my daughter. [19:41] bbl [19:41] i am hesitant to file a bug, when if comes from a mortal, it is one of thousands [19:42] when it comes from a loco leader, it moves :( [19:42] i will file it, but that is what i think will occur [19:43] umm maybe subscrbe people or post here so we can +1 [19:43] slestak: good bug reports move, no matter who they are from [19:43] kk [19:43] kk [19:43] good points both [19:43] bbl, i am late [19:43] 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] later! [20:38] snap-l: I'm glad we think the same regarding sparkles and spandex :) [21:55] if i need the java plugin in my browser (chrome) what package do i install? [21:56] doesn't chrome come bundled with binaries of everything? [21:57] umm no idea need to use a website that requires java nad tells me the plugin is not installed [21:57] installed icedtea-plugin [21:57] or installing === jjesse_ is now known as jjesse [22:32] jjesse: did that work? [22:32] don't know, getting a message that things were actively refused [22:33] though not prompted for java [22:33] might need a restart of chrome but don't want to kill my download [22:35] @ in-laws and they are having problems w/ the intertubes [22:39] lovely [22:40] yeah well at least they have internet, about a year ago they were still on dial-up [23:00] hola, back [23:00] dang walmart sucks the life outta me [23:13] Record Store Day = supported. [23:39] team, my ubiquity issue is 763155 [23:39] bug 763155 [23:46] greg-g: are you greg_g on lp? [23:49] greg.grossmeier [23:50] subbing you to my bug [23:51] cool [23:51] im kinda stuck here now. the install toasted my grub, so bleh [23:52] i feel my other partitions are ok, i just need to fix grub [23:53] can I so an apt-get update and upgrade to see if ubiquity has been patched since beta2 [23:56] ruh roh: https://identi.ca/conversation/68886640 (see where they bring in Jane Silber and what she said at a GNOME advisory board meeting) [23:57] Honestly, I think Harmony should just go away [23:57] seriously, people are taking this stuff way too seriously [23:59] well, I may be biased (given my day job) but I think copyright issues are pretty serious
