[01:32] 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) [01:33] refit fails to produce a boot screen, and i can actually get 11.10 live cd running without any modifications to the macbook [01:34] 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 [06:58] OMG the queens is in canberra! [07:40] xannen: You royalist! :-) [07:41] gorilla, actually no. im' just dramatising. :P [07:42] xannen, I was being sarcastic. :-D [07:43] I know that too. It's all sarcasm and I play along. :D [07:44] 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! [07:45] including migration act and 18 carbon tax bills. :D [07:45] lolz [07:46] and bye bye gillard. [07:48] 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] are you pro carbon tax? [07:49] queen -> republic -> politics policies. :D [07:49] xannen: We are stupid bunch of apes that take too much for granted. [07:50] gahh.. I'm out of here. [08:20] yay [08:20] yo! [08:20] finally worked out how to get ubuntu 11.10 on the latest macbookpros [08:21] you need hammer, 9" nails, and 2x4's. :D [08:21] had to perform a "disk repair" through the recovery partitions disk utility [08:21] then i could resize the partition [08:23] you should installed 11.04, more reliable and stable. [08:25] wow ubuntu 8.04 still supported until april, 2013! so long! (TS). [08:30] 11.10 is more stable for me actually [08:30] hot enough today ikt? [10:00] airtonix, i have graphics issues. :( and sometimes, when i click on system tray, the pop out menu won't stick, and other minor issues. :( [10:01] also, there was an openjdk bug. with dependency on openjdk-6, even though you have openjdk-7 installed. :S [11:35] hey guys... [11:35] I have technical question. :D [13:46] does aarnet mirror the security updates for ubuntu or do you have to get them off the main server [13:59] i don't think anyone mirrors security updates [13:59] but I get them off the main server anyway [13:59] sagaci: mainly because of the fast updates [14:00] better to have security updates asap [14:00] yep, thanks for the info [14:02] sagaci: do you happen to know what the package is called which decrypts dvds? [14:03] heh translation session starting in #ubuntu-classroom [14:03] ikt: libdvdcss2? [14:03] that's the ticket [14:04] ikt: do you want to install it? [14:04] does it need mediabuntu? [14:04] can't find it in normal repos [14:05] 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] which installs the medibuntu package [14:06] i remember that [14:06] we were talking about it on whirlpool [14:06] yeah, I remember that path like the back of my hand [14:07] haha nice [14:07] i'll brb just need to restart cuz of updates [14:44] ikt: how'd it go [14:50] yeah great [14:50] just watching the dvd now [14:52] http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005NOOH [14:52] got a few dvds to watch [14:56] 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] frustrating but glad it's fixed [14:58] what was happening? [15:08] hi guys [15:08] does anyone have win7/ubuntu dual boot? what do i do with win7 system reserve partition? [15:10] xannen: keep it [15:10] oh... okay... i was going to override it with /boot [22:18] Anyone here from Adelaide
