aznraver2kHi Everyone, I'm having trouble hibernating my Ubuntu 10.04 LTS x64 machine. It will either restart or shutdown but completely forget the state. If I try to suspend, it will just restart and forget the state. Does anyone know a fix or perhaps point me to logs where I can diagnois the problem? Thanks.00:42
stlsaintaznraver2k: quick response, try checking launchpad for bugs with this issue, i do not run 64 bit myself00:44

kristian-aalborghi ppl11:12
kristian-aalborgto sum up... dd should *always* be cool for ubuntu ISO's?11:12
kristian-aalborgwhen putting them on an usb pen, that is11:12
stlsaintkristian-aalborg: i have never used destroy data to put a iso on a usb :D11:12
kristian-aalborgstlsaint, hurm11:24
kristian-aalborgit's the "de facto linux method", I think11:24
stlsaintkristian-aalborg: no the heck it isnt (not for me at least)11:28
stlsaintits handy if you have no way to install say unetbootin but other than that i use dd for drive management11:28
kristian-aalborggood for that also11:31
kristian-aalborgI believe Debian works the best with dd, that's why I'm asking11:34
kristian-aalborgbut yes, I find unetbootin more user friendly11:34
stlsaintkristian-aalborg: meh, to each his own, the beauty of linux...options11:42
kristian-aalborgthe beauty and the beast, more like it... there's a lack of uniformity now and then, this being one of those occasions11:43
stlsaintaye, but uniformity is a big downfall for M$ as we see ;)11:45
kristian-aalborgtwo-edged sword...11:46
kristian-aalborgsome of the *nix inconsistencies are lame, though... I don't see why everything can't be in the same /dev/ locations in all distros, for instance11:47
akshatjstlsaint, why you use M$?12:00
* akshatj is a little high on caffeine12:00

kristian-aalborghow do y'all read .doc files?18:47
kristian-aalborgI just opened one in Google Docs... it's okay-ish, but is there something that's closer to 100%?18:47
nlsthznLiobreOffice18:48
nlsthzn*LibreOffice18:48
kristian-aalborgnlsthzn, better than OO?19:13
nlsthznSame at the moment... just mentioned Libre as that is the one now shipping with Ubuntu :)19:16
nlsthznkristian-aalborg: ^19:16
kristian-aalborgok19:18
kristian-aalborgI'm not sure if I fell like installing that piece of bloat19:18
kristian-aalborgbut thanks19:18
nlsthznkristian-aalborg: define bloat?19:19
kristian-aalborg300 megs?19:20
nlsthznWell to open the docs I assume you only need the writer and not the full suite19:22
Unit193OpenOffice didn't have the Go-OO features and LibreOffice has done some updates/added some import filters (it can read more files) I think it has done some speed changes19:28
