[00:42] <aznraver2k> Hi 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.
[00:44] <stlsaint> aznraver2k: quick response, try checking launchpad for bugs with this issue, i do not run 64 bit myself
[01:04] <philipballew> can somebody help with building a deb? oe is there a better channel for that?
[01:14] <ashams> philipballew: join motu #ubuntu-motu , the packaging guide might help http://ubuntuone.com/p/9ic

[11:12] <kristian-aalborg> hi ppl
[11:12] <kristian-aalborg> to sum up... dd should *always* be cool for ubuntu ISO's?
[11:12] <kristian-aalborg> when putting them on an usb pen, that is
[11:12] <stlsaint> kristian-aalborg: i have never used destroy data to put a iso on a usb :D
[11:24] <kristian-aalborg> stlsaint, hurm
[11:24] <kristian-aalborg> it's the "de facto linux method", I think
[11:28] <stlsaint> kristian-aalborg: no the heck it isnt (not for me at least)
[11:28] <stlsaint> its handy if you have no way to install say unetbootin but other than that i use dd for drive management
[11:31] <kristian-aalborg> good for that also
[11:34] <kristian-aalborg> I believe Debian works the best with dd, that's why I'm asking
[11:34] <kristian-aalborg> but yes, I find unetbootin more user friendly
[11:42] <stlsaint> kristian-aalborg: meh, to each his own, the beauty of linux...options
[11:43] <kristian-aalborg> the beauty and the beast, more like it... there's a lack of uniformity now and then, this being one of those occasions
[11:45] <stlsaint> aye, but uniformity is a big downfall for M$ as we see ;)
[11:46] <kristian-aalborg> two-edged sword...
[11:47] <kristian-aalborg> some 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 instance
[12:00] <akshatj> stlsaint, why you use M$?
[12:00]  * akshatj is a little high on caffeine
[13:20] <coalwater> about the language keyboard icons on the top panel, mine somehow got bad and they show a red cross icon that it's not available, how can i reinstall the logo or something
[13:20] <coalwater> the logo that specify the language you're typing in
[13:49] <geirha> Here it just shows the first three letters
[16:07] <stlsaint> yo folks
[16:07] <Abhijit> hi
[16:12] <stlsaint> Abhijit: sup
[16:16] <Abhijit> stlsaint, fine! :-)
[16:45] <IAmNotThatGuy> ah stlsaint is here!!!
[18:34] <mi6ail1234> Hello,I've made a mistake and i remove sound manager from taskbar...how to add it again?
[18:34] <Error404NotFound> right click on panel
[18:34] <Error404NotFound> hit add to panel
[18:35] <Error404NotFound> indicator applet complete has it all
[18:47] <kristian-aalborg> how do y'all read .doc files?
[18:47] <kristian-aalborg> I just opened one in Google Docs... it's okay-ish, but is there something that's closer to 100%?
[18:48] <nlsthzn> LiobreOffice
[18:48] <nlsthzn> *LibreOffice
[19:13] <kristian-aalborg> nlsthzn, better than OO?
[19:16] <nlsthzn> Same at the moment... just mentioned Libre as that is the one now shipping with Ubuntu :)
[19:16] <nlsthzn> kristian-aalborg: ^
[19:18] <kristian-aalborg> ok
[19:18] <kristian-aalborg> I'm not sure if I fell like installing that piece of bloat
[19:18] <kristian-aalborg> but thanks
[19:19] <nlsthzn> kristian-aalborg: define bloat?
[19:20] <kristian-aalborg> 300 megs?
[19:22] <nlsthzn> Well to open the docs I assume you only need the writer and not the full suite
[19:28] <Unit193> OpenOffice 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 changes
[23:55] <stlsaint> philipballew: poke
[23:55] <philipballew> stlsaint, poke!
[23:57] <stlsaint> philipballew: are you aware that that app you wanted turned into a .deb hasnt been touched in over 4 years?
[23:58] <stlsaint> philipballew: carnival
[23:58] <philipballew> i am, its the newest one, i might just write my own gui
[23:59] <stlsaint> philipballew: that would be better, if you have any packaging questions i might be able to assist as i am packaging a few apps now
