| InHisName1 | Hello DavidLevin | 01:14 |
| knightzero | Am I the only one failing to see a screensaver function within 11.10? | 01:22 |
| InHisName1 | I'm not seeing 11.10 at all, [yet] | 01:37 |
| * waltman is (finally) home from the happy hour | 01:43 | |
| InHisName1 | The happy hour is finished ? Is it the UNhappy hour now ? | 02:19 |
| pleia2 | that was fun :) | 02:20 |
| waltman | It was. I hadn't seen my buddy Phil in ages. | 02:23 |
| waltman | But I was overdressed with that rain coat. It was a long humid walk in the rain back up the hill from my train station. | 02:25 |
| waltman | So my Russian labmate, the one who has trouble with determiners, wrote back to thank me. | 02:27 |
| waltman | "I just looked over your comments, and so far they all looked straight-forward to address." | 02:27 |
| waltman | He also has issues with hyphenation. | 02:27 |
| waltman | Coincidentally, I had several comments in the doc that "straightforward" is spelled without hyphens. | 02:28 |
| JonathanD | Morning. | 07:13 |
| rmg51 | Morning | 09:51 |
| JonathanD | Morning again. | 11:13 |
| rmg51 | JonathanD: you must have said that before I signed in | 11:26 |
| rmg51 | I got home to late to bother booting up last night | 11:27 |
| rmg51 | now I'm off to work | 11:27 |
| yoda_van | wow....too much redbull | 11:36 |
| === yoda_van is now known as jedijf | ||
| jedijf | but worth it! | 11:36 |
| InHisName1 | I got error from dpkg about grub-pc and it didnot install it. How to find the logs before I reboot and review it ? | 12:02 |
| teddy-dbear | morning | 12:05 |
| waltman | morning | 12:11 |
| waltman | JonathanD: 3:13 isn't morning, it's night. | 12:12 |
| JonathanD | it's morning. | 12:13 |
| JonathanD | I go to sleep at night. | 12:14 |
| JonathanD | I wake up in the morning. | 12:14 |
| JonathanD | ;) | 12:14 |
| waltman | I see. | 12:14 |
| rmg51 | morning isn't till at least 5am | 12:19 |
| rmg51 | you have to be close to sun rise | 12:20 |
| InHisName1 | where's all the grubbers at ? | 12:26 |
| jedijf | pleia2: congrats on CC | 14:11 |
| pleia2 | thanks :) | 14:11 |
| pleia2 | I had a 5 day break | 14:11 |
| pleia2 | hehe | 14:11 |
| pleia2 | (not really, we've been working on wrapping things up) | 14:11 |
| InHisName1 | before I reboot the new 11.10, I need to fix grub to work right. Install errors from dpkg. | 14:21 |
| MutantTurkey | ubuntu upgrades always break stuff. safer to wait a few weeks till they fix that up | 14:21 |
| jedijf | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 14:22 |
| jedijf | upgrade worked flawlessly at party | 14:22 |
| jedijf | on an eeeeeee pc | 14:22 |
| jedijf | in 2 1/2 hours on bar wireless | 14:22 |
| InHisName1 | well my grub failed at 10.04 and 10.10 upgrades too. Once I rebooted and that was LONG mess to fix up then. THIS time I want to fix first before rebooting. | 14:23 |
| jthan | I never had any issues upgrading. | 14:24 |
| jedijf | InHisName1: that link holds /all/ the answers | 14:24 |
| InHisName1 | Looking at it.... | 14:24 |
| jedijf | InHisName1: so you haven't tried it yet? | 14:25 |
| InHisName1 | grub failed once last year because I tried rebooting first. BAD choice. | 14:25 |
| InHisName1 | Now this error time want to fix grub first. | 14:26 |
| MutantTurkey | whats the error | 14:26 |
| InHisName1 | Where to find logs of 11.10 upgrade and I might find full text of error that flew by detail window. | 14:27 |
| jedijf | i would look in /var/log/apt/ | 14:43 |
| knightzero | Oh joy.....unity was happy on my laptop until I ran Compiz config. | 15:31 |
| waltman | CC == Community Czarina? | 15:56 |
| pleia2 | ubuntu community council (it's the thing I was on before, I ran for re-election) | 16:03 |
| InHisName1 | Hmm seems most useful part I can find from grub2 site is boot-repair which is done in advance of needing it. | 16:09 |
| knightzero | Hmmm...unity 2d works, but standard with compiz is a no-go. Too much of a headache to troubleshoot now, especially since gnome3 runs without a hitch. | 16:09 |
| InHisName1 | Lotta reading about upgrade grub to grub2. That was done last spring for either 10.10 or 11.04 fixing. | 16:39 |
| InHisName1 | Hmmm /var/log/apt/history.log has ONE gargantuan string but no sign of an error from dpkg when installing grub during 11.10 upgrade. | 16:40 |
| InHisName1 | from dkpkg.log --->status half-configured grub-pc 199-12ubuntu5 | 16:49 |
| InHisName1 | what is 'half-configured' mean ? that phrase is not in: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 or in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 16:50 |
| InHisName1 | someone suggested this: | 16:53 |
| InHisName1 | dpkg-reconfigure --force grub-pc | 16:53 |
| InHisName1 | aptitude upgrade | 16:53 |
| InHisName1 | did that, now is there a way to 'test grub' before booting up ? | 17:04 |
| GeekyAdam | anyone here have any experience working with wordpress from the command-line? | 17:19 |
| GeekyAdam | nvm | 17:31 |
| GeekyAdam | (but thanks for all the help) ;] | 17:32 |
| GeekyAdam | so you philly meetup peeps, how's 11.10? any crazy changes you liked/disliked? | 17:32 |
| InHisName1 | ummm its attempt to auto repair an error with grub that did not work ? | 17:38 |
| GeekyAdam | :( | 17:46 |
| JonathanD | So. | 17:46 |
| JonathanD | I'm trying to get the touchscreen working on an x200 lenovo tablet, ubuntu 11.10 | 17:46 |
| JonathanD | I see it in dmesg as "wacom serial touchscreen" | 17:48 |
| InHisName1 | Yea!!! My HP touchPad arrived [WebOS] | 17:50 |
| JonathanD | Google be failing me. | 17:50 |
| InHisName1 | did pleia2 fly off for CA already? | 17:51 |
| jedijf | JonathanD: iirc there was something about wacom in release notes | 18:27 |
| InHisName1 | do I dare reboot and risk that grub is still not fixed yet ? I don't know how to test that it is ok. | 18:41 |
| JonathanD | jedijf: I shall check. | 18:57 |
| InHisName1 | kids home from school, intermittent checking now. | 19:30 |
| pleia2 | http://gallery.ubuntupennsylvania.org/v/20111013/ | 20:20 |
| pleia2 | from last night :) | 20:20 |
| jedijf | ocelot needs a meeting | 20:25 |
| pleia2 | lol | 20:26 |
| jedijf | celush | 20:26 |
| jedijf | ocelush | 20:26 |
| pleia2 | nice one | 20:26 |
| jedijf | fit right in | 20:26 |
| pleia2 | haha | 20:26 |
| jedijf | that cd is soooo hot; the design team should steal that | 20:27 |
| pleia2 | he said it's up on spreadubuntu, I found one similar | 20:27 |
| pleia2 | http://spreadubuntu.org/en/material/packaging/ubuntu-1104-natty-narwhal-cddvd-labels | 20:27 |
| pleia2 | so maybe he doesn't have his 11.10 version up yet? | 20:28 |
| jedijf | ahh, i thought it was an original | 20:28 |
| pleia2 | I am quite sure he's the one who uploaded it there | 20:28 |
| pleia2 | some light stalking of noelitonoelito seems to be our guy | 20:28 |
| jedijf | yeah reverse launchpad rsvp hacking | 20:29 |
| jedijf | good, new crowd | 20:29 |
| pleia2 | yeah :) | 20:30 |
| * pleia2 frowns at loco directory not loading | 20:31 | |
| JonathanD | jedijf: haven't found anything in release notes. | 20:34 |
| JonathanD | using: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OneiricOcelot/ReleaseNotes | 20:34 |
| jedijf | JonathanD: yeah, brain fail, too many lists.... | 20:39 |
| jedijf | JonathanD: dmesg give any hints? | 20:40 |
| JonathanD | just the "hey this exists" | 20:42 |
| JonathanD | input: Wacom Serial Touchscreen as /device..." | 20:44 |
| Joe_CoT | pleia2, so you're an admin on DarkMyst, do you play anything on there? | 21:07 |
| pleia2 | Joe_CoT: nope, I joined ages ago when there when an internet radio station my ex-husband DJed on had a channel there | 21:46 |
| Joe_CoT | ah | 21:46 |
| Joe_CoT | so now you just admin for the hell of it? | 21:46 |
| pleia2 | the owner of the network figured out I was vaguely internet famous and asked me to help out | 21:47 |
| Joe_CoT | haha | 21:47 |
| pleia2 | so yeah, I do support stuff and update the website, and sometimes bring the network back together after splits (that's harder now that I only have an oline on one server though) | 21:48 |
| InHisName1 | pleia2: is there a way to check out grub2 to validate that it is good before rebooting ? (and testing the HARD way, oops} | 21:54 |
| pleia2 | InHisName1: grub2 files are automatically generated, so you shouldn't have a problem | 21:55 |
| InHisName1 | During the upgrade I got a dpkg errror involving grub2. I had errors similar to that in 10.04 and 10.10 and 11.04 also. Rebooting was disaster, in 1104 I put in grub2. Maybe some old pieces of old grub are giving it fits. | 22:00 |
| InHisName1 | I've done several things so far to fix it. | 22:00 |
| InHisName1 | A couple of command lines to re-run some fixing / install or whatever. | 22:01 |
| InHisName1 | Then I ran something called boot-repair which ran some of the prior stuff again. | 22:02 |
| pleia2 | well if you need command line options it's hard to test that without the reboot, since you won't always know what you need with different kernels | 22:02 |
| InHisName1 | I just am not sure if grub2 is viable enough to boot successfully on first go or not. | 22:02 |
| pleia2 | I haven't had a problem with it yet | 22:03 |
| InHisName1 | I used to review the menu.lst and catch stuff there but its no longer used. | 22:03 |
| InHisName1 | I'm just a bit timid on daring myself to reboot / test grub, yet. | 22:05 |
| InHisName1 | hi _nomad | 22:14 |
| _nomad | hiya | 22:15 |
| _nomad | good to meet some of you at national mechanics yesterday | 22:15 |
| jedijf | _nomad: indeed | 22:17 |
| jedijf | even better that you followed up here | 22:19 |
| _nomad | yeah | 22:23 |
| _nomad | only sad that its a friday night on irc | 22:23 |
| _nomad | haha | 22:23 |
| jedijf | we'll pretend it's monday | 22:24 |
| jedijf | rmg51: have any alts? | 22:28 |
| InHisName1 | hi Sadin & _nomad | 22:36 |
| Sadin | hey InHisName | 22:37 |
| _nomad | heya | 22:42 |
| rmg51 | jedijf: I have both 32 & 64 alt iso's | 22:47 |
| rmg51 | burned one of each | 22:47 |
| InHisName1 | my HP TouchPad wont start without wireless access. 9 Neighbors have it but all have passwords. | 22:59 |
| mikedep333 | InHisName1, sad, but not surprising | 23:56 |
