[00:00] <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 ?
[00:01] <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
[00:02] <ibeardslee> sometimes that is easier
[00:03] <ibeardslee> of course because you /home is a different partition should be easy right?
[00:07] <ojwb> it's a VM, there's nothing in /home yet
[00:07] <ojwb> it just takes a while to chug through the install
[00:09] <ojwb> well, it now seems to have corrupted itself, so I guess that's made the decision for me
[00:09] <ibeardslee> heh
[02:27] <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
[02:28] <ajmitch> hours, days, what's the difference?
[03:49] <chilts> roll on the weekend!!!
[03:49] <chilts> tgif
[04:09] <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?
[04:14] <ajmitch> relax?
[04:15] <chilts> and enjoy it :)
[04:52]  * ojwb wonders if launchpad has deliberately made in unobvious how to file a bug
[04:57] <ajmitch> ojwb: yes
[04:57] <ajmitch> are you trying to file a bug against ubuntu?
[04:58] <ojwb> well, I just gave up
[04:58] <ojwb> but it's against help.ubuntu.com
[04:59] <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
[05:02] <ajmitch> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-website/+filebug might be the best place, not sure if that covers help.ubuntu.com though
[05:06] <ojwb> if it doesn't, they really need to make it more obvious where to file issues
