| MutantTurkey | thank goodness for pidgen on windows | 02:20 |
| MutantTurkey | jedijf: doing the arch install right about now. Hopefully unetbootin still works | 02:21 |
| MobileTurkey | jedijf: arch doesn't seem to have a way to resize disks... | 03:34 |
| MobileTurkey | apparently nobody thought of that. | 03:34 |
| MobileTurkey | cfdisk and fdisk cannot do it | 03:34 |
| MobileTurkey | afaik | 03:34 |
| * GeekyAdam lumbers off to bed. | 03:38 | |
| MobileTurkey | loosing faith in arch :[ | 03:49 |

| JonathanD | Morning. | 09:46 |
| rmg51 | morning JonathanD | 09:47 |
| JonathanD | hi | 09:50 |
| JonathanD | this doesn't look good. | 09:50 |
| rmg51 | what doesn't look good? | 09:51 |
| JonathanD | Work is "down" in some way. | 09:51 |
| rmg51 | I'm "down" today :-D | 09:53 |
| rmg51 | I'm taking the day off | 09:53 |
| JonathanD | heh | 09:54 |
| JonathanD | SOunds good :P | 09:54 |
| JonathanD | Router is offline, at least. | 09:54 |
| JonathanD | Gonna go in now. | 09:54 |
| rmg51 | bye | 09:55 |
| JonathanD | all fixed. | 10:29 |
| JonathanD | Power failure last night, and one switch decided it could use the extra rest. | 10:29 |
| rmg511 | that sounds like me :-D | 11:03 |
| JonathanD | heh :) | 12:04 |
| JonathanD | So I have this broken ideapad. | 12:04 |
| JonathanD | someone dropped it. | 12:04 |
| JonathanD | I haven't really worked with an ideapad before (hardware fixage side) | 12:05 |
| JonathanD | It's not too shabby. | 12:05 |
| JonathanD | They destroyed one of the screen hinges, though. | 12:05 |
| JonathanD | I'm filling the gap with solder and trying to seal up the plastic, to see if it'll move well that way. | 12:06 |
| JonathanD | Although it has the lame shiny screen. | 12:11 |
| MutantTurkey | my dog thinks that he is a wolf or something | 14:50 |
| MutantTurkey | always howling in the mornings | 14:50 |
| rmg511 | one morning you will find him gnawing on one of your legs :-D | 14:53 |
| MutantTurkey | he's a bit of a wimp, I think he may ujust be lonely | 14:54 |
| MutantTurkey | jedijf: I am still seeking your help with this lappy, oh wise one | 14:55 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: what up? | 14:55 |
| jedijf | does wise imply old | 14:55 |
| MutantTurkey | wise means experienced | 14:55 |
| MutantTurkey | basically old. | 14:56 |
| MutantTurkey | jedijf: what should I do for partitioning? still at a crossroads here. | 14:58 |
| MutantTurkey | w7 has 3 partitions, one that is small, then a 300gig, and lenovos 10gb recovery | 14:58 |
| MutantTurkey | But I want W7, {debian,ubuntu}, Arch | 15:00 |
| jedijf | leave the 2 win alone ---resize 300 to 15/285(for arch and swap) install arch, then install ubu last-resize the arch to accomodate ubu, put ubu on empty space | 15:02 |
| jedijf | 15 for win7 | 15:02 |
| MutantTurkey | Ill need like 30 for win, got to install all of my age of empires games... | 15:04 |
| MutantTurkey | and kings quest! I CANT WAIT TO PLAY KINGS QUEST!! | 15:04 |
| MutantTurkey | I am giddy as a schoolboy. | 15:04 |
| MutantTurkey | jedijf: remove the lenovo one? | 15:05 |
| jedijf | ok..but you get the gist | 15:05 |
| jedijf | no | 15:05 |
| jedijf | keep those 3 | 15:05 |
| MutantTurkey | so I'll need to do extended partition | 15:05 |
| MutantTurkey | ok and then just resize the arch one at a later time | 15:05 |
| MutantTurkey | easy enough | 15:05 |
| jedijf | yes\ | 15:05 |
| MutantTurkey | rocking | 15:05 |
| MutantTurkey | but wait... should I share my home directory between arch and ubuntu? | 15:06 |
| MutantTurkey | typically I do a /boot /root /home setup | 15:06 |
| jedijf | they should also have that backup procedure if not image the disk\ | 15:06 |
| jedijf | before you start | 15:06 |
| MutantTurkey | they? should have that? backup procedure | 15:06 |
| jedijf | actually, i shrink, then image but you can do what you like | 15:06 |
| jedijf | uusally since they no longer ship cd's/dvd's they tell you to make a restore disk | 15:07 |
| jedijf | do that | 15:07 |
| jedijf | or shrink and image\ | 15:07 |
| jedijf | then start | 15:07 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: you may want to do the ubu with a separate home too, just to make upgrading easier | 15:09 |
| MutantTurkey | well fck ubuntu I tihnk I am going with debian | 15:10 |
| MutantTurkey | but then I think, oh well maybe I should check out the big ubuntu circlejerk and see what it's all about | 15:10 |
| MutantTurkey | jedijf: annoyingly arch doesn't have a good way to resize disks, short of using ntfs-tools | 15:11 |
| MutantTurkey | sometimes I wish I had gparted | 15:11 |
| jedijf | use an ubuntu livecd | 15:11 |
| jedijf | hater | 15:11 |
| MutantTurkey | so do the ubuntu install first? | 15:13 |
| MutantTurkey | I actually keep trying to make an install disk unsing the ubuntu instructions and it keeps not booting up | 15:13 |
| MutantTurkey | apparently my usb isn't big enough, I only have a 1GB | 15:14 |
| MutantTurkey | here is my chance to install Haiku! | 15:17 |
| rmg511 | 1GB should be big enough | 15:19 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: livecd to resize for arch ..install ubu last | 15:19 |
| rmg511 | you need at least 700MB to make an bootable usb | 15:19 |
| MutantTurkey | weird using the tool they link to | 15:20 |
| MutantTurkey | ? | 15:20 |
| MutantTurkey | or how would you do it | 15:20 |
| rmg511 | system/admin/start up creator | 15:20 |
| rmg511 | from live cd | 15:21 |
| MutantTurkey | I am on windows | 15:22 |
| jedijf | use this http://www.imgburn.com/ | 15:25 |
| jedijf | nm | 15:25 |
| jedijf | that's for cd's you want to do stick use http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 15:26 |
| MutantTurkey | unetbooting wasn't working | 15:30 |
| MutantTurkey | I'll give it another spin | 15:30 |
| MutantTurkey | half the time unetbootin doesnt work, it's pretty sketchy | 15:31 |
| rmg511 | there is always booting live :-/ | 15:37 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: really though, the usb to ide/sata cable and a sata dvd drive should be next purchase if laptop doesn't have one inside | 15:39 |
| MutantTurkey | has esata | 15:39 |
| jedijf | does it have any optical drive? | 15:40 |
| MutantTurkey | nope | 15:41 |
| MutantTurkey | have a pcmcia slot | 15:41 |
| MobileTurkey | here we go | 16:06 |
| MobileTurkey | jedijf: got the live usb working | 16:06 |
| MobileTurkey | ubuntu is quite odd | 16:06 |
| MobileTurkey | feels very polished though | 16:06 |
| Joe_CoT | pleia2, happy birthday! DarkMyst told me to message you :D | 16:41 |
| pleia2 | lol | 16:41 |
| pleia2 | thank you :) | 16:41 |
| waltman | pleia2: It's your birthday? Happy Birthday! | 17:05 |
| pleia2 | waltman: yes, 30th! | 17:08 |
| waltman | No way! | 17:09 |
| waltman | It's all downhill from here on out :) | 17:09 |
| pleia2 | lol | 17:09 |
| pleia2 | I thought that didn't happen until 40 :) | 17:09 |
| pleia2 | so far the only crappy thing about 30 is I didn't qualify for the "young professionals" rate at my new fitness club place | 17:10 |
| waltman | pleia2: Cookie the penguin also wants to wish you a happy birthday! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wTWWjYTe1I | 17:10 |
| pleia2 | but the membership director took pity on me and gave me a bunch of guest passes to make up for my unfortunately timed birthday :) | 17:10 |
| beta0x64_ | Hello all | 17:11 |
| waltman | pleia2: make sure you watch Cookie all the way until the end | 17:11 |
| pleia2 | I love cookie :) | 17:11 |
| pleia2 | hi beta0x64_ | 17:11 |
| beta0x64_ | hello pleia2 | 17:11 |
| waltman | pleia2: You'll be getting senior discounts before you know it! :) | 17:12 |
| pleia2 | lol | 17:12 |
| waltman | Cookie might be the cutest little penguin EVAH | 17:13 |
| beta0x64_ | How is Ubuntu in the Pittsburgh area? Is there support here? | 17:13 |
| pleia2 | ssweeny is out there, in the past the Ubuntu events have mostly been teamed up with wplug.org | 17:13 |
| beta0x64_ | good to know pleia2. | 17:16 |
| beta0x64_ | So far, I've been a loner! | 17:16 |
| * ssweeny waves at beta0x64 | 17:17 | |
| ssweeny | beta0x64, whareabouts in the burgh are you? | 17:17 |
| beta0x64_ | ssweeny: I am about 50 minutes south of Pittsburgh. | 17:18 |
| beta0x64_ | That is, 50 minutes south assuming 0 traffic lol | 17:18 |
| ssweeny | beta0x64, like washington area? | 17:18 |
| beta0x64_ | no like westmoreland | 17:19 |
| beta0x64_ | wait, washington how? | 17:19 |
| beta0x64_ | oh. I've never been to Washington, PA. No, down route 51. not 79 | 17:20 |
| ssweeny | beta0x64, washington, pa is almost an hour south of pittsburgh | 17:20 |
| beta0x64_ | I'm like between Washington and Greensburg | 17:21 |
| ssweeny | anyway, i think i'm the sole ubuntu rep in the greater pittsburgh area | 17:21 |
| beta0x64_ | Well isn't that fancy? | 17:21 |
| ssweeny | but i work for canonical, so that has to be bonus points | 17:21 |
| beta0x64_ | +1 | 17:22 |
| beta0x64_ | congratulations. that's really great. | 17:22 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | -2 | 17:22 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | :P | 17:22 |
| ssweeny | at least until now i've been the only pittsburgh ubuntu user who knows how to use IRC :) | 17:22 |
| beta0x64_ | Or have been bothered to use it! | 17:24 |
| beta0x64_ | So, how do we plan world domination? | 17:24 |
| beta0x64_ | We should start with Downtown... | 17:24 |
| jedijf | i like beta0x64_ spirit...army of 2 | 17:26 |
| beta0x64_ | well, we need to amass an idiot army obviously | 17:27 |
| jedijf | and apparently knows ssweeny | 17:27 |
| beta0x64_ | or at least a very cheaply implemented robotic army | 17:27 |
| jedijf | :P | 17:27 |
| ssweeny | for that we can use cmu | 17:28 |
| ssweeny | i know some folks... | 17:28 |
| waltman | Huh. Here I figured that 50 minutes south of Pittsburgh was West Virginia :) | 17:28 |
| ssweeny | waltman, that's more like 1:10 | 17:29 |
| ssweeny | actually about 50 minutes west of pittsburgh will also put you in WV | 17:29 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | :P | 17:29 |
| * TheEvilPhoenix is originally from pittsburgh | 17:29 | |
| TheEvilPhoenix | :P | 17:30 |
| beta0x64_ | I suppose it depends on how fast you drive and on which roads. | 17:30 |
| beta0x64_ | I live along routes 51 and interstate 70 | 17:30 |
| * waltman discovers that Pittsburgh's quite a bit further north than he thought. | 17:30 | |
| beta0x64_ | ssweeny: so, what do you do for canonical? | 17:33 |
| ssweeny | beta0x64, i'm on the oem services team. i customize ubuntu for hardware manufacturers to distribute on their products | 17:33 |
| beta0x64_ | ssweeny: that's great. is that an on-site type of job? do you have to travel? | 17:35 |
| ssweeny | beta0x64, i mostly work from home. i travel to UDS twice a year and occasionally to our US home base in boston | 17:36 |
| beta0x64_ | I'm impressed. which companies do you work with? local computer stores or something like asus? | 17:36 |
| ssweeny | the most well-known is probably dell | 17:37 |
| ssweeny | we have a bunch of customers in asia | 17:37 |
| beta0x64_ | oh I see | 17:37 |
| beta0x64_ | So you work internationally from home? | 17:37 |
| ssweeny | yep | 17:37 |
| beta0x64_ | That's sweet =) | 17:38 |
| beta0x64_ | working with canonical must be nice. | 17:40 |
| beta0x64_ | is LPIC worth it? | 17:42 |
| beta0x64_ | well I have to go ladies and gentlemen. believe me, I'll be back | 17:45 |
| TheEvilPhoenix | no you wont :P | 17:45 |
| WiCkD1 | hello. | 18:26 |
| jedijf | hello WiCkD1 | 18:29 |
| JonathanD | Battery is shot on this thing. | 18:35 |
| jedijf | dropping does not break battery | 18:40 |
| jedijf | in general | 18:40 |
| MutantTurkey | jedijf: doode | 18:49 |
| MutantTurkey | what the hall | 18:49 |
| MutantTurkey | ubuntu doesn't let me update because I am not in the sudoers file, and it doesn't let me set the root password at all | 18:49 |
| MutantTurkey | so how am I supposed to update ? | 18:50 |
| MutantTurkey | because no root pw so I can't use su. | 18:50 |
| MutantTurkey | I mean I am going to drop into a fallback shell, but I don't understand how regular users do it | 18:50 |
| MutantTurkey | :| | 18:50 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: user has password, that's sudo password | 19:09 |
| jedijf | sudo su | 19:09 |
| JonathanD | jedijf: I assume it was already broken. | 19:12 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: your doing it rong | 19:12 |
| jedijf | way rong | 19:12 |
| JonathanD | I'm trying to find a pinout to charge it outside the laptop, and see if it's the battery or the laptop... | 19:12 |
| MutantTurkey | jedijf: hsudo was broken | 19:13 |
| MutantTurkey | dude maybe I should just install debian... | 19:13 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: you installed ubu? | 19:13 |
| MutantTurkey | jedijf: yes. | 19:14 |
| jedijf | 11.04? | 19:14 |
| MutantTurkey | lemme pm | 19:14 |
| MutantTurkey | ya | 19:14 |
| jedijf | ga no! | 19:33 |
| beta0x64 | MutantTurkey, you could boot into single user mode and add yourself to the sudoers file. | 19:50 |
| MutantTurkey | kasted: I did | 19:51 |
| MutantTurkey | beta0x64: i did | 19:51 |
| MutantTurkey | that was the first thing I did | 19:51 |
| beta0x64 | Still not working? | 19:51 |
| MutantTurkey | but I was thinking about all the idiotic non linux users trying it out for the first time | 19:51 |
| MutantTurkey | beta0x64: they are probably hopelessly lost | 19:51 |
| beta0x64 | they should be able to go update normally. I'm not sure why you couldn't use sudo | 19:51 |
| rmg511 | hie nick says it all ;-) | 19:52 |
| jedijf | MutantTurkey: did you use the single from grub, that's pretty 'polished' now to | 19:53 |
| jedijf | too | 19:53 |
| MutantTurkey | yeah | 19:54 |
| MutantTurkey | nice dialog | 19:54 |
| MutantTurkey | jedijf: how do I boot to kdm? | 19:55 |
| jedijf | you installed it, right? | 19:55 |
| MutantTurkey | wrong chat :eek: | 19:55 |
| MutantTurkey | yes | 19:55 |
| beta0x64 | when you go to login | 19:55 |
| beta0x64 | right? | 19:55 |
| jedijf | then after you put in user name...on the bottom you'll see session switcher | 19:55 |
| MutantTurkey | is that still in /etc/init.d/? | 19:55 |
| MutantTurkey | jedijf: not kde, kdm | 19:55 |
| jedijf | that didn't happen automagically when you installed kde? | 19:56 |
| MutantTurkey | no idea... haven't rebooted yet | 19:56 |
| MutantTurkey | I figured you would have to switch the daemons | 19:57 |
| jedijf | it should happen automagically or sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm and select kdm | 19:58 |
| MutantTurkey | okay | 19:58 |
| MutantTurkey | thanks :) | 19:58 |
| jedijf | logout....find the session thingy and see how easy it is to switch...prolly have ldm choice by now too | 19:58 |
| jedijf | guess this is the 'find that session thingy' part | 20:07 |
| sadin | hi everyone how you doing | 21:30 |
