| ojwb | no, it's because somebody decided to rename the bootloader config from text.cfg to txt.cfg so my preseed file got ignored and my new VM is full of crap I don't want | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| ojwb | gnome desktop isn't pleasant with too little memory | 00:00 |
| ojwb | it keeps randomly deciding I've held a key down | 00:00 |
| ibeardslee | apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop ? | 00:00 |
| ojwb | that doesn't actually do much, as it's just a meta package | 00:01 |
| ojwb | and autoremove didn't then seem to get rid of the actual stuff | 00:01 |
| ibeardslee | then apt-get autoremove | 00:01 |
| ojwb | but it's painful | 00:01 |
| ibeardslee | oh | 00:01 |
| ojwb | randomly it'll think I hit enter a lot of times and the terminal will whizz up | 00:01 |
| ojwb | i'm pretty close to deleting it and restarting | 00:01 |
| ibeardslee | sometimes that is easier | 00:02 |
| ibeardslee | of course because you /home is a different partition should be easy right? | 00:03 |
| ojwb | it's a VM, there's nothing in /home yet | 00:07 |
| ojwb | it just takes a while to chug through the install | 00:07 |
| ojwb | well, it now seems to have corrupted itself, so I guess that's made the decision for me | 00:09 |
| ibeardslee | heh | 00:09 |
| ojwb | so when the electricity company said they'd send someone "within 4-6 hours", then actually meant "within 5 days" | 02:27 |
| ojwb | I can see how that's an easy mistake to make | 02:27 |
| ajmitch | hours, days, what's the difference? | 02:28 |
| chilts | roll on the weekend!!! | 03:49 |
| chilts | tgif | 03:49 |
| ibeardslee | what, now it's the weekend .. what am I going to do without people at work telling me what to do all the time? | 04:09 |
| ajmitch | relax? | 04:14 |
| chilts | and enjoy it :) | 04:15 |
| * ojwb wonders if launchpad has deliberately made in unobvious how to file a bug | 04:52 | |
| ajmitch | ojwb: yes | 04:57 |
| ajmitch | are you trying to file a bug against ubuntu? | 04:57 |
| ojwb | well, I just gave up | 04:58 |
| ojwb | but it's against help.ubuntu.com | 04:58 |
| ojwb | https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/installation-guide/example-preseed.txt is missing | 04:59 |
| ojwb | but linked to, and exists for 10.04 and 10.10 | 04:59 |
| ajmitch | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+filebug might be the best place, not sure if that covers help.ubuntu.com though | 05:02 |
| ojwb | if it doesn't, they really need to make it more obvious where to file issues | 05:06 |
