Bernhardafter installing ubuntu server 11.4 i get these errors. On reboot the file system /boot is corrupted. When i repair this disk with knoppix cd it says it was uncleanly unmounted. after repair it boots normal. But after a reboot i gives the same error. The error message is Cannot write bytes: pipe error. Basicly it does not unmount /boot correctly. Then i installed Debian to see if it was a02:28
Bernhardsoftware issue. But the i get about a similar error. When Debian shuts down it says something like this: cannot unmount file system failed.  So it seems it is some sort of same issue.. idears ?02:28
ali1234i'm guessing hardware problem or kernel bug, but you need to check dmesg02:53

MartijnVdSLeprechaun giving a lightning talk: http://i.imgur.com/Taqwt.jpg10:31
oimonMartijnVdS: quick video question - i remember speaking to you about deinterlacing..10:35
oimoni ripped and encoded a dvd and made a new dvd, in order to combine 3 short dvds into 1. but the final result was "wobbly",, especailly with horizontal movement of the chracters - did i miss a step? do i need to deinterlace?10:36
MooDoodavmor2: well i did advise her to take a shower ;)10:36
davmor2MooDoo: hahaha10:36
MartijnVdSoimon: I think you need to deinterlace, yes10:46
MartijnVdSoimon: http://www.100fps.com/10:46
oimondidn't think it would be necessary when ripping from a dvd10:48
MartijnVdSoimon: that page explains everything you ever wanted to know about interlacing, deinterlacing methods, how and why10:48
MartijnVdSoimon: depends on how the DVD was mastered (and the video on it encoded)10:48
oimonwhat a pain in teh butt this is :(10:49
MartijnVdSoimon: Read 100fps.com, then with everything you've learned adapt ffmpeg command line :)10:49
gordoh ffmpeg? i just use handbrake, handles all this for you10:49
oimoni did use handbrake10:50
MartijnVdSOK toggle the right switches in handbrake10:50
MartijnVdSsame thing really :)10:50
MartijnVdSyou just have to know what each switch does :)10:50
oimontook me hours...gonna have to do it all again :(10:52
gorddecomb, set to auto, does everything for you :)10:52
davmor2So popey you bought MS office why exactly?10:52
MartijnVdSoimon: tip: set it to do the first 5 minutes only10:52
MartijnVdSoimon: then check if it worked10:52
popeydavmor2: because I need it for work10:52
popeycontrary to what most free software advocates believe, OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice are nmot 100% compatible with Microsoft Office.10:53
davmor2popey: so why didn't work provide you with a copy?10:53
MartijnVdSpopey: in which way?10:53
gord:O shocking10:53
popeydavmor2: I _am_ 'work' in this case10:53

MartijnVdSgord: or Comic Sans10:54
MooDoopopey: well there is your first mistake asking, just wash the windscreen and stick out your hand10:55

davmor2popey: I knew you were, so you're company bought you a copy of MS office then ;)  not you :)  wash your hands of it and move on :)10:56
davmor2popey: so here's the biggy, did you buy the MS version, Mac version, and are you running it on Microsoft of in wine?10:58
popeyI bought the Windows version which I am running under Windows.10:59
popeyon bare metal10:59
davmor2popey: Fair enough, I was going to ask how it ran under wine if that was the case but now I shall not :)11:00
diploAnyone have a Android phone that they don't want in here ?11:00
gordi wonder how nice it would with virtualbox under that cool native mode11:00
gordi'm not curious enough to spend the money on ms office to find out though ;)11:01
davmor2diplo: No! however if you go to the orange shop you can pick up a reasonable pay as you go one called the San Francisco for a £100 if that helps11:07
diploOoh I'll take a look ta davmor211:08
oimongord: what's that decomb thing you mentioned? a separate app or part of handbrake11:09
gordoimon, park of handbrake11:09
MartijnVdSoimon: it's a processing flag in your favourite transcoding app11:09
MartijnVdSgord: parking brake? :P11:09
davmor2diplo: it doesn't have the fastest processor in the world, and you can upgrade it by rooting and using blade upgrades if orange haven't yet for your info11:10
oimongord: ah, found it hidden away11:10

gordoimon, right, because divx is awful.. just use x264 :) turn off a bunch of options if its too slow11:15
oimoni have a dvd player that plays divx, would save me a lot of time encoding11:16
gordso... you are ripping a dvd to... put on a dvd?11:16
gordto play in your dvd player?11:16
oimonyes, to combine 2 dvds i need to rip+encode then do it again11:16
diploJust keeping an eye on it, nice to have a cheap phone till I have some spare cash to afford a decent one11:16
oimonactually it's 3 short dvds11:17
popeysounds like a lot of work11:19
popeywhy not just carry 3 dvds?11:19
popeyand give your cpu a rest11:19
oimoncos my son likes to watch button moon, but the dvd's are really short, so often nothing else gets watched on the dvd player so best practice to put everything on one dvd. besides the dvds are getting scratched and flung around the room11:20
popeyheh11:20

dutchiedifferent purposes12:05
gordit doesn't :) terminator is a terminal emulator12:05
gordbyobu is a screen thingy12:05
dogmatic69this terminator ~= the normal terminal12:05
AlanBellso would I use byobu in terminator?12:07
dogmatic69maybe12:07
* AlanBell installs to find out what this thing is12:08
Laneybyobu is just a bit of a UI for screen12:08
AlanBellyeah, trying to figure out what terminator is12:09
dogmatic69terminator is split screen terminals12:09
dogmatic69you can have 10 in one window12:09
gordbasically if you use one terminal window, gnome-terminal should be fine, for those of us that regularly use multiple terminal windows, terminator is a great fit, its so easy to make/remove terminals :)12:11
ali1234unless you also need those terminals to be slightly bigger than a postage stamp - then it's rubbish12:12

JimmyEatFoodhi guys i've just installed Natty using wubi and I've decided I no longer want to use Windows16:20
JimmyEatFoodis it possible to remove windows from my system at this point? Or will I need to reinstall Ubuntu using a live cd/usb?16:21
MooDooi would do a total reinstall so it's native to the drive, will be quicker as well imho16:21
JimmyEatFoodOk cheers, will that mean I will need to reconfigure everything when reinstalled? Or is it possible to do a back up of some sort? It took me a couple of hours to get my wireless adapter working and I don't want to have to do it again lol16:22
marxjohnsonJimmyEatFood: There's a question on http://wubi.sourceforge.net/faq.php about moving the install to a dedicated partition16:23
marxjohnsonso you might be able to avoid reinstalling16:23

KrimZonis there anything out there about the shooting of the guy that triggered it all?20:39
popeynot yet20:40
popeyIPCC are awaiting ballistics reports AIUI20:40
daubersAt least the police are doing the sensible thing by keeping it contained and letting it burn itself out20:46
daubersrather than go in on a baton charge and make it worse20:47
ikoniavery concerning20:49
ikoniaI hope non of you London livers are in any risk20:49
dutchiebirminhgham too apparently20:52
ikoniathat appears much more minor20:52
dutchieso far20:53
ikoniayes, I hope that doesn't escalate20:53
ikoniaI'm shocked by it all20:53
ikoniaproves the utter yob/moron gang culture that sits in our country20:53
hamitronin some ways it would be better if the police tackled them, showed them they can't get away with it20:54
hamitron:/20:54
ikoniathey are trying to20:54
hamitronbeat the hell out of them20:54
ikoniayou can't take that stance20:54
hamitronI would have if I lived there ;/20:54
daubershamitron: Based on the trigger, that would make it much worse20:55
daubershamitron: Ever read "Night Watch" by Terry Pratchett?20:56
hamitronthat trigger is just an excuse20:56
hamitronthere are lines you don't cross when protesting20:56
hamitronburning peoples homes and not respecting others property is one20:56
daubershamitron: Problem is, if you go in batons raised, you'll make it worse. These kind of things you bottle into an area and let it burn out. You have to show that the police and people on "the other side" are people too, not people behind riot shields coming at you with batons20:57
hamitrondaubers: no20:57
hamitronand look how the soft approach has naught the younger generation of gangs they can do as they please on street corners20:58
hamitronif I lived somewhere, with a riot, I'd expect the police to hit them hard20:59
czajkowskihttp://yfrog.com/h8rzsjmp wow20:59
daubershamitron: Great scene in Night Watch where there are mobs attacking Watch houses through out the city, and the main character avoids it at his watch house by opening the door, lighting the lamps and sitting outside with a mug of coffee20:59
hamitronas much as I love coffee.....21:00
hamitron;)21:00
daubershamitron: It's more about stopping people thinking of "Us" and "them" and of thinking of everyone as a person with a family/dependants and what not21:01
hamitronwell, I still think the fear of something happening would make a lot go home21:01
hamitronbut tbh, our police force isn't built for that21:02
daubershamitron: Fear is a rubbish way to press a point :( It's what causes these things to start with21:02
hamitronI don't agree21:02

Catbuskrisi am not getting a lot in info on the following point: is it (black british) cultural specific, or is it just nasty people doing what they do best?21:11
Seeker`Catbuskris: it is a load of young (say, under 25) people taking an opportunity to grab new TVs and sports clothes21:11
Catbuskrisi mean the BBC were specifically interviewing the head of the _black_ british police association, but they only asked him if this was an economically motivated riot, not racially21:11
Seeker`under the banner of being concerned about the police actions of the past few days21:12
Seeker`the original shooting which "triggered" it was under operation trident I believe21:12
Catbuskrisi'm under 25: why aren't they a bit more like me?  honest question: i'm very sheltered i guess21:12
Seeker`and operation trident was set up to investigate gun crime in London's black community21:12
Seeker`The areas of london that it is occuring in are quite poor21:13
Catbuskrisi don't see it as legitimately racially motivated if the black dude in question shot a copper first...21:13
Seeker`well, thats the question21:14
Seeker`we don't know what happened yet21:14
Seeker`Closest we have is a rumour that the bullet found in the police radio was a hollowpoint, which is the same type of round that the police use21:15
Seeker`but that isn't confirmed, and even if it is, doesn't mean that it came from a police gun21:16
AlanBellthe current stuff is crime motivated, hardly any of them will have any idea why it started21:19
hamitronyep :/21:19
Catbuskrisguys i'm a simple man, please: what are the implications of this bullet being a hollowpoint@21:22
Catbuskrisare you implying the guy the polic shot was a policeman???21:22
popeyits rumour and speculation21:23
popeyneither is healthy21:23
popey(in this instance)21:24
Seeker`Catbuskris: the papers are trying to imply that it might have been a bullet from the police officer's gun that was embedded in the radio, not from the guy that was shot.21:24
Seeker`But nothing is certain until we see the IPCC report21:24
Catbuskrisoh well jesus, that's serious but very easily verifiable21:25
Catbuskristhey do that shit in CSI: Miami all the time; ballistics, you know?21:25
Catbuskrispresumably the guy had a gun with his prints all over it, and the bullet came therefrom, and the taxi driver/ a zillion other people saw it happen21:25
AlanBelljust as a reminder, can we try and keep the conversation around this up to our usual high standards21:26
* hamitron steps aside so as to not lower it21:26

Catbuskristhat's a pretty common feeling i have,23:15
Seeker`"anyone who isn't dressed up as a hoodie as i am is likely to be mugged"23:15
CatbuskrisUnfortunately the BBC is the best I seem to have on the ground, so to speak23:15
Seeker`0045: West Midlands Police confirm that a police station in Holyhead Road in Handsworth, Birmingham, is on fire.23:49
