| airtonix | anyone else had experience dual booting ubuntu on the latest macbook pro? (comes installed with macosx lion 10.7 and what i think might be bootcamp) | 01:32 |
|---|---|---|
| airtonix | refit fails to produce a boot screen, and i can actually get 11.10 live cd running without any modifications to the macbook | 01:33 |
| airtonix | my next step is to investigate how to resize the main partition to make room for a ubutu install, which is going to be done in terminal most likely since there isn't any available function to resize the main partition | 01:34 |
| xannen | OMG the queens is in canberra! | 06:58 |
| gorilla | xannen: You royalist! :-) | 07:40 |
| xannen | gorilla, actually no. im' just dramatising. :P | 07:41 |
| gorilla | xannen, I was being sarcastic. :-D | 07:42 |
| xannen | I know that too. It's all sarcasm and I play along. :D | 07:43 |
| gorilla | and anyone who wants Australia to become a republic hasn't thought it through. You need to amend just about every law in the country! | 07:44 |
| xannen | including migration act and 18 carbon tax bills. :D | 07:45 |
| xannen | lolz | 07:45 |
| xannen | and bye bye gillard. | 07:46 |
| gorilla | xannen: not with the way that Abbott is carrying on. Happy to wreck the economy by repeal the carbon tax. | 07:48 |
| * gorilla wonders how the heck we got onto politics... I hate it. | 07:48 | |
| xannen | are you pro carbon tax? | 07:48 |
| xannen | queen -> republic -> politics policies. :D | 07:49 |
| gorilla | xannen: We are stupid bunch of apes that take too much for granted. | 07:49 |
| gorilla | gahh.. I'm out of here. | 07:50 |
| airtonix | yay | 08:20 |
| xannen | yo! | 08:20 |
| airtonix | finally worked out how to get ubuntu 11.10 on the latest macbookpros | 08:20 |
| xannen | you need hammer, 9" nails, and 2x4's. :D | 08:21 |
| airtonix | had to perform a "disk repair" through the recovery partitions disk utility | 08:21 |
| airtonix | then i could resize the partition | 08:21 |
| xannen | you should installed 11.04, more reliable and stable. | 08:23 |
| xannen | wow ubuntu 8.04 still supported until april, 2013! so long! (TS). | 08:25 |
| airtonix | 11.10 is more stable for me actually | 08:30 |
| airtonix | hot enough today ikt? | 08:30 |
| xannen | airtonix, i have graphics issues. :( and sometimes, when i click on system tray, the pop out menu won't stick, and other minor issues. :( | 10:00 |
| xannen | also, there was an openjdk bug. with dependency on openjdk-6, even though you have openjdk-7 installed. :S | 10:01 |
| xannen | hey guys... | 11:35 |
| xannen | I have technical question. :D | 11:35 |
| sagaci | does aarnet mirror the security updates for ubuntu or do you have to get them off the main server | 13:46 |
| ikt | i don't think anyone mirrors security updates | 13:59 |
| ikt | but I get them off the main server anyway | 13:59 |
| ikt | sagaci: mainly because of the fast updates | 13:59 |
| ikt | better to have security updates asap | 14:00 |
| sagaci | yep, thanks for the info | 14:00 |
| ikt | sagaci: do you happen to know what the package is called which decrypts dvds? | 14:02 |
| ikt | heh translation session starting in #ubuntu-classroom | 14:03 |
| sagaci | ikt: libdvdcss2? | 14:03 |
| ikt | that's the ticket | 14:03 |
| sagaci | ikt: do you want to install it? | 14:04 |
| ikt | does it need mediabuntu? | 14:04 |
| ikt | can't find it in normal repos | 14:04 |
| sagaci | ikt: I always install it on a clean install via ubuntu-restricted-extras, but it's a simple script in the libdvdread4 package, if you have that installed, just run sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 14:05 |
| sagaci | which installs the medibuntu package | 14:05 |
| ikt | i remember that | 14:06 |
| ikt | we were talking about it on whirlpool | 14:06 |
| sagaci | yeah, I remember that path like the back of my hand | 14:06 |
| ikt | haha nice | 14:07 |
| ikt | i'll brb just need to restart cuz of updates | 14:07 |
| sagaci | ikt: how'd it go | 14:44 |
| ikt | yeah great | 14:50 |
| ikt | just watching the dvd now | 14:50 |
| ikt | http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005NOOH | 14:52 |
| ikt | got a few dvds to watch | 14:52 |
| sagaci | just been troubleshooting a keyboard mapping issue -- finally fixed it with sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration ... since I'm on a server and can't use xmodmap, setxkbmap, etc | 14:56 |
| sagaci | frustrating but glad it's fixed | 14:56 |
| ikt | what was happening? | 14:58 |
| xannen | hi guys | 15:08 |
| xannen | does anyone have win7/ubuntu dual boot? what do i do with win7 system reserve partition? | 15:08 |
| ikt | xannen: keep it | 15:10 |
| xannen | oh... okay... i was going to override it with /boot | 15:10 |
| Guest16895 | Anyone here from Adelaide | 22:18 |
