[01:32] <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)
[01:33] <airtonix> refit fails to produce a boot screen, and i can actually get 11.10 live cd running without any modifications to the macbook
[01:34] <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
[06:58] <xannen> OMG the queens is in canberra!
[07:40] <gorilla> xannen: You royalist! :-)
[07:41] <xannen> gorilla, actually no.  im' just dramatising. :P
[07:42] <gorilla> xannen, I was being sarcastic. :-D
[07:43] <xannen> I know that too.  It's all sarcasm and I play along.  :D
[07:44] <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!
[07:45] <xannen> including migration act and 18 carbon tax bills.  :D
[07:45] <xannen> lolz
[07:46] <xannen> and bye bye gillard.
[07:48] <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?
[07:49] <xannen> queen -> republic -> politics policies.  :D
[07:49] <gorilla> xannen: We are stupid bunch of apes that take too much for granted.
[07:50] <gorilla> gahh.. I'm out of here.
[08:20] <airtonix> yay
[08:20] <xannen> yo!
[08:20] <airtonix> finally worked out how to get ubuntu 11.10 on the latest macbookpros
[08:21] <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
[08:23] <xannen> you should installed 11.04, more reliable and stable.
[08:25] <xannen> wow ubuntu 8.04 still supported until april, 2013!  so long! (TS).
[08:30] <airtonix> 11.10 is more stable for me actually
[08:30] <airtonix> hot enough today ikt?
[10:00] <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.  :(
[10:01] <xannen> also, there was an openjdk bug.  with dependency on openjdk-6, even though you have openjdk-7 installed.  :S
[11:35] <xannen> hey guys...
[11:35] <xannen> I have technical question. :D
[13:46] <sagaci> does aarnet mirror the security updates for ubuntu or do you have to get them off the main server
[13:59] <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
[14:00] <ikt> better to have security updates asap
[14:00] <sagaci> yep, thanks for the info
[14:02] <ikt> sagaci: do you happen to know what the package is called which decrypts dvds?
[14:03] <ikt> heh translation session starting in #ubuntu-classroom
[14:03] <sagaci> ikt: libdvdcss2?
[14:03] <ikt> that's the ticket
[14:04] <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
[14:05] <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
[14:06] <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
[14:07] <ikt> haha nice
[14:07] <ikt> i'll brb just need to restart cuz of updates
[14:44] <sagaci> ikt: how'd it go
[14:50] <ikt> yeah great
[14:50] <ikt> just watching the dvd now
[14:52] <ikt> http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005NOOH
[14:52] <ikt> got a few dvds to watch
[14:56] <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
[14:58] <ikt> what was happening?
[15:08] <xannen> hi guys
[15:08] <xannen> does anyone have win7/ubuntu dual boot?  what do i do with win7 system reserve  partition?
[15:10] <ikt> xannen: keep it
[15:10] <xannen> oh... okay...  i was going to override it with /boot
[22:18] <Guest16895> Anyone here from Adelaide
