Drucyliahey folks.08:18
DrucyliaI'm probably gonna sounds real dumb, but I have a boot issue with the live boot disc, 11.04, burned at 1X. the MD5 verifies fine08:19
BactaHi all, is there anything I need to know about upgrading from 10.04 to 11.04?12:05
coalwaterBacta, it should be alright but i (just a personal opinion) think it's better to do a fresh installation, on a different drive, then migrate my data after the installation, some people have had some problems with the upgrade process, i'm not sure if it's more stable now or not12:34
BactaAre the hardware requirements any different?12:35
coalwaternot really, just the unity interface needs some hardware acceleration12:37
coalwaterif not found it falls back to the classic gnome-panel12:37
BactaHave they got the window icons back on the right in this one? ;)12:38
coalwaterwhat do u mean?12:38
Bactaa few releases ago they moved the window icons (minimise, maximise and close) from the right to the left12:39
coalwatero12:39
coalwaterit depends on the theme actually12:39
coalwaterand yea it's by default on the left12:39
coalwateri got used to it12:39

holsteini just use the GUI for the most part22:41
holsteinive made a few custom xorg.conf files in the past22:41
holsteinactually, ive cheated, and stolen the xorg.conf's from knoppix22:41
bioterrorwhy the stealing?22:46
bioterrorXorg -configure22:47
bioterrorand you got one :D22:47
bioterrorwith ATI some tweaks22:47
holsteinbioterror: im not sure, with a few tricky nvidia devices, that seemed to be the easiest way to get a good config22:47
holstein*it worked at least after a little tweaking22:48
bioterrorI can remember how things got easier when Xorg replaced XF8622:48
holsteinthe -realtime kernel was patched for use with the nvidia proprietary driver though, so im using that driver now, and the nvidia GUI22:49
holsteinbioterror: i hope the trend continues with wayland :)22:49

alessio_alexso basically I just need to compress the Ubuntu filesystem23:42
alessio_alexand copy to server after installing Ubuntu there?23:42
holsteinif you want to compress it, sure23:43
holsteindd will just copy whatever to where ever23:43
alessio_alexdoesn't dd compress?23:43
alessio_alexoh23:43
holsteintypically, you just backup the /home directory23:43
alessio_alexwell... I want all my programs to be there23:43
alessio_alexRuby, PHP etc23:43
holsteintheres all kinds of tools for imaging... filezilla or whatever23:43
holsteinalessio_alex: yeah, do it however you want, you can save that list of installed apps too AFAIK23:44
alessio_alexok, thank you :)23:45
ysisallessio_alex: clonezilla23:51
