[08:18] <Drucylia> hey folks.
[08:19] <Drucylia> I'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 fine
[12:05] <Bacta> Hi all, is there anything I need to know about upgrading from 10.04 to 11.04?
[12:34] <coalwater> Bacta, 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 not
[12:35] <Bacta> Are the hardware requirements any different?
[12:37] <coalwater> not really, just the unity interface needs some hardware acceleration
[12:37] <coalwater> if not found it falls back to the classic gnome-panel
[12:38] <Bacta> Have they got the window icons back on the right in this one? ;)
[12:38] <coalwater> what do u mean?
[12:39] <Bacta> a few releases ago they moved the window icons (minimise, maximise and close) from the right to the left
[12:39] <coalwater> o
[12:39] <coalwater> it depends on the theme actually
[12:39] <coalwater> and yea it's by default on the left
[12:39] <coalwater> i got used to it
[13:25] <head_victim> If anyone has any time to help a friend, I am not sure where to go from here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1773483
[14:29] <r4y> Are the log files under "/home/username/.local/share/gvfs-metadata" meant to be read ever?, and if so how?

[22:12] <Error404NotFound> can anyone tell me how to change resolution in natty?
[22:15] <Error404NotFound> holstein:  bioterror
[22:15] <Error404NotFound> help plox
[22:16] <bioterror> xrandr
[22:16] <Error404NotFound> ?
[22:40] <holstein> Error404NotFound: o/
[22:41] <holstein> i just use the GUI for the most part
[22:41] <holstein> ive made a few custom xorg.conf files in the past
[22:41] <holstein> actually, ive cheated, and stolen the xorg.conf's from knoppix
[22:46] <bioterror> why the stealing?
[22:47] <bioterror> Xorg -configure
[22:47] <bioterror> and you got one :D
[22:47] <bioterror> with ATI some tweaks
[22:47] <holstein> bioterror: im not sure, with a few tricky nvidia devices, that seemed to be the easiest way to get a good config
[22:48] <holstein> *it worked at least after a little tweaking
[22:48] <bioterror> I can remember how things got easier when Xorg replaced XF86
[22:49] <holstein> the -realtime kernel was patched for use with the nvidia proprietary driver though, so im using that driver now, and the nvidia GUI
[22:49] <holstein> bioterror: i hope the trend continues with wayland :)
[22:49] <bioterror> time will show
[23:39] <alessio_alex> Hello, what's the easiest way to make an image of my current Ubuntu (I want to install the same config on a server somewhere, such as Amazon AWS). Thanks
[23:39] <holstein> alessio_alex: dd ?
[23:39] <alessio_alex> ?
[23:39] <holstein> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_(Unix)
[23:42] <alessio_alex> so basically I just need to compress the Ubuntu filesystem
[23:42] <alessio_alex> and copy to server after installing Ubuntu there?
[23:43] <holstein> if you want to compress it, sure
[23:43] <holstein> dd will just copy whatever to where ever
[23:43] <alessio_alex> doesn't dd compress?
[23:43] <alessio_alex> oh
[23:43] <holstein> typically, you just backup the /home directory
[23:43] <alessio_alex> well... I want all my programs to be there
[23:43] <alessio_alex> Ruby, PHP etc
[23:43] <holstein> theres all kinds of tools for imaging... filezilla or whatever
[23:44] <holstein> alessio_alex: yeah, do it however you want, you can save that list of installed apps too AFAIK
[23:45] <alessio_alex> ok, thank you :)
[23:51] <ysis> allessio_alex: clonezilla
[23:52] <ysis> oh, already gone
[23:53] <holstein> lol, i said filezilla ;)
[23:53] <holstein> i was off getting the link anyways, and they took off
