tabaxter_ | A quick query. If I am mid-distribution upgrade, is it possible to hibernate my computer without completely screwing the process? I need to have the computer powered down in the next ten minutes in order for an electrician to work on the property. | 02:32 |
pleia2 | tabaxter_: there isn't really a safe way to do that, no (unless you're still in just the download phase) | 02:47 |
tabaxter_ | pleia2: I'm not, unfortunately. Thanks. is there a way that is more likely to result in a usable system? | 02:50 |
pleia2 | tabaxter_: not really, in the middle of an upgrade lots of things will be half configured and such :\ | 02:51 |
pleia2 | it may not be bootable if you shut it down in the middle | 02:51 |
tabaxter_ | pleia2: If I do break it, would I be able to do an upgrade with a live CD to fix it? | 02:54 |
pleia2 | hard to say, doubtful | 02:54 |
pleia2 | you may be able to debug what is wrong with a livecd and bring the system back up so you can complete the upgrade, but even that is dicey | 02:54 |
pleia2 | and if things really go bad you can use the livecd to make a backup of your data at least so you can reinstall | 02:54 |
tabaxter_ | most of my valuable data is in dropbox/ubuntuone, so I'm not too concerned there. the big problem is my printer, etc. config and a number of apps which I'd have to reinstall and reconfigure. | 02:56 |
tabaxter_ | Do you know if I can stop it once it has reached the cleaning up stage? | 02:57 |
tabaxter_ | pleia2 | 02:58 |
pleia2 | tabaxter_: stopping it any time in the upgrade process is risky (sorry, I'm at work, can't reply immediately) | 02:59 |
tabaxter_ | pleia2: no, that's okay. I wasn't intending to be pushy. I was just making sure it gave an alert and you didn't think I hadn't replied. Thanks heaps. I'll just have to try to keep him occupied on other needless tasks for a while. | 03:01 |

soulf | Hi, does anybody here happen to use the search-app (similar to gnome-do) synapse? If so; in order for synapse to find anything in a certain music folder I always have to have opened a files from the folder previously, do you know if there's a way to tell synapse to index several folders without having to open a file in them? | 03:56 |

bobweaver | Hi there I was wondering if some one could help me with using sed | 13:46 |
geirha | bobweaver: Sure. | 13:47 |
bobweaver | under /usr/share/applications/bob I have a bunch of files | 13:47 |
bobweaver | which is good | 13:48 |
bobweaver | but how do I use sed to change all the gnome-terminal | konsole ? | 13:48 |
bobweaver | changing out words with sed :>) | 13:49 |
geirha | Change gnome-terminal or konsole to what? | 13:49 |
coalwater | can't u just replace with nano ? | 13:49 |
bobweaver | gnome-terminal to konsole | 13:49 |
geirha | Well, for editing files I generally prefer to use a file editor, not sed. | 13:50 |
bobweaver | there are 700 + so using nano | 13:50 |
geirha | for file in /usr/share/applications/bob/*; do printf '%s\n' 'g/gnome-terminal/s//konsole/g' w | ed -s "$file"; done | 13:50 |
Riviera | What's bob? | 13:51 |
bobweaver | Riviera: thats my name | 13:51 |
Riviera | Nice to meet you, Bob. | 13:51 |
bobweaver | :>) | 13:51 |
bobweaver | you too | 13:51 |
Riviera | You have a directory with your name in /usr/share/applications? | 13:51 |
coalwater | in nano u can do a ctrl+w to find, then ctrl+r to replace, then write the word to use, then the word to replace, then shift +A to replace all, just saying lol | 13:51 |
Riviera | What does that do there? | 13:52 |
coalwater | o u mean u have 700+ files, not occrences? | 13:52 |
bobweaver | let me show you guys ls /usr/share/application/bob | 13:52 |
Riviera | thanks | 13:53 |
coalwater | i hope ur planning to use pastebin | 13:53 |
coalwater | lol | 13:53 |
Riviera | And I hope you did not miss geirha's solution to your problem. | 13:53 |
coalwater | i really need to read sed's man | 13:53 |
bobweaver | http://paste.ubuntu.com/713227/ | 13:54 |
geirha | coalwater: /topic ##sed | 13:54 |
geirha | coalwater: The sedintro there is quite nice. | 13:54 |
coalwater | ok ty | 13:54 |
bobweaver | as you can see I have been using nano but there is just so many | 13:54 |
Riviera | Hm, but what is that? | 13:55 |
geirha | You can put desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications btw | 13:55 |
bobweaver | I also need to change all the things that say bob into opt | 13:55 |
Riviera | Shouldn't files like these be stored in ~/.local/share/applications? | 13:55 |
bobweaver | ?? | 13:56 |
bobweaver | /ect/.local.share/applications | 13:56 |
bobweaver | /ect/.local/share/applications | 13:56 |
geirha | You generally shouldn't modify anything under /usr, except for /usr/local | 13:56 |
coalwater | /topic ##sed | 13:56 |
bobweaver | geirha: wjy not ? | 13:56 |
coalwater | woops lol | 13:57 |
geirha | Your homedir is /ect? | 13:57 |
bobweaver | no | 13:57 |
geirha | bobweaver: To stay out of the way of the package manager | 13:57 |
bobweaver | if I want to change for good(after using remastersys) I have to change in thouse files | 13:58 |
geirha | I see | 13:58 |
bobweaver | early here I just put the cup of coffee under the coffee pot and he coffee pot in the microwave I think that I should drink some coffee before going any further :>) | 14:02 |

SuicideSheep | i try install ubuntu on my laptop but its say bootmgr is missing, what i need to do?? | 15:15 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: seems like you dont have a boot manager | 15:20 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: talk about your setup... dualbooting, whatever... what you used to install | 15:20 |
holstein | when i google 'ubuntu bootmgr missing' i get to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=829456 which might be helpful | 15:21 |
SuicideSheep | but i have windows on my laptop | 15:21 |
SuicideSheep | so i have boot manager for sure | 15:21 |
holstein | the windows boot loader wont boot anything but windows AFAIK | 15:22 |
SuicideSheep | so how i can boot linux | 15:22 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: lots of ways... hte default is that GRUB is installed when you install | 15:23 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: you are wanting to dual boot some version of ubuntu with some version of windows? | 15:23 |
holstein | what versions? | 15:23 |
SuicideSheep | yes | 15:23 |
SuicideSheep | win 7 | 15:23 |
holstein | and how are you trying to install said version of ubuntu? USB? a live CD? | 15:23 |
SuicideSheep | ubuntu 11 04 | 15:23 |
SuicideSheep | usb | 15:23 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: ubuntu 11.10 is out now as well | 15:24 |
holstein | FYI | 15:24 |
SuicideSheep | ok | 15:24 |
SuicideSheep | but if i cant install 11 04 | 15:24 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: if it were my machine, i would boot a live CD, and i would look at the hard drive... i would want to see the windows partition, and the linux partition/partitions | 15:24 |
SuicideSheep | i cant 11 10 too | 15:24 |
holstein | then, if all is looking as expected, and its just GRUB that is missing, i would use | 15:25 |
holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling_GRUB2 | 15:25 |
SuicideSheep | i did not install linux yet | 15:25 |
holstein | to reinstall grub using that live CD | 15:25 |
SuicideSheep | becouse i cant | 15:25 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: you'll need to elaborate on why you cant | 15:25 |
holstein | if you are getting that error when booting the USB installation stick you made, then... | 15:26 |
holstein | i suggest using unetbootin | 15:26 |
holstein | http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 15:26 |
holstein | that *always* works for me, where the other tools occasionally fail | 15:26 |
SuicideSheep | i used him | 15:26 |
holstein | i would suggest formating the USB stick as well | 15:26 |
holstein | and, you can also confirm the downloaded iso image has no errors | 15:27 |
SuicideSheep | i tryed make usb bootable with cmd and with programs | 15:27 |
SuicideSheep | but all say bootmgr is missing | 15:27 |
ameer-ahmad | SuicedeSheep, I think you should your Win 7 recovery CD again to fix the problem., :D | 15:27 |
SuicideSheep | win 7 works normaly | 15:27 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: right.. so *now* you format the USB stick, and try wht unetbootin | 15:27 |
holstein | with* | 15:27 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: have you tried that? | 15:27 |
SuicideSheep | i tryed 10 min ago | 15:27 |
holstein | formatting the usb stick? | 15:28 |
holstein | then creating with unetbootin? | 15:28 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: did you confirm the downloaded iso image is not corrupt as well? | 15:28 |
holstein | ameer-ahmad: the computer is not broken, thats what i first though when i read the post | 15:28 |
SuicideSheep | i tryed install ubuntu and openSUSE both bootmgr miss | 15:28 |
holstein | its the USB stick thats not booting | 15:29 |
SuicideSheep | usb and cd | 15:29 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: right, but did you actually confirm the downloaded images? | 15:29 |
holstein | that is a constant in your scenario, your internet connection that you use to download the images (or so i am assuming) | 15:29 |
SuicideSheep | yes i did | 15:30 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: so, on your machine, it wont boot USB or CD, correct? | 15:30 |
holstein | have you tried something more simple, like a gparted live CD? | 15:30 |
holstein | have you checked *all* the settings in your bios? | 15:31 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: what machine is it? maybe we can google around about that specific model and learn something helpful | 15:33 |
SuicideSheep | hp | 15:35 |
SuicideSheep | envy | 15:36 |
ameer-ahmad | SuicideSheep, I think this would have help you solve the problem, http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ss/bootorderchange.htm | 15:36 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: same again? | 15:37 |
SuicideSheep | yes | 15:37 |
holstein | you mean, a gparted live CD gives the same error? | 15:37 |
holstein | what is the same again? | 15:37 |
holstein | 11.10? | 15:37 |
holstein | the only constant i can see here is that machine unfortunately | 15:38 |
holstein | is there something in the bios that locks that feature down? | 15:38 |
SuicideSheep | idk | 15:38 |
SuicideSheep | i tryed install ubuntu inside windows | 15:38 |
SuicideSheep | but i get some eror | 15:38 |
holstein | http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Operating-systems-and/Booting-Ubuntu-10-10-LiveUSB-on-Envy-15/td-p/470921 | 15:39 |
SuicideSheep | win32 or something like this | 15:39 |
ameer-ahmad | SuicideSheep, you means by wubi install? | 15:39 |
SuicideSheep | yes | 15:39 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: if it wont boot *any* live CD's, then this is not an ubuntu issue... i think you'll save some time going ahead and researching why that particular machine wont boot USB or CD | 15:39 |
SuicideSheep | i will now try install it with wubi | 15:41 |
SuicideSheep | ubuntu 11 10 | 15:41 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: ? | 15:41 |
holstein | i thougth wubi fails as well? | 15:41 |
SuicideSheep | and if i get the error i will ss and send here | 15:41 |
SuicideSheep | 11 04 | 15:41 |
SuicideSheep | but i didnt try 11 10 | 15:41 |
holstein | your machine is not booting live media, that is the issue | 15:41 |
ameer-ahmad | I never try install ubuntus with wubi installation methode in my life., | 15:41 |
holstein | ive used wubi before | 15:41 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: mabye this is some corporate machine? something you got from that environment? with something added to 'lock down' booting other installation media? | 15:42 |
ameer-ahmad | All I've done is that Live CD/ liveusb | 15:43 |
SuicideSheep | hmm | 15:43 |
SuicideSheep | this windows are hp edition | 15:43 |
SuicideSheep | so... | 15:43 |
SuicideSheep | maybe they block other os | 15:43 |
holstein | it could be something that got added after the fact | 15:43 |
jesper_ | LF help. fresh ubuntu 11.10 logged in and my desctop is gone. all i see is a gray line on top of screen with the text arkive and so on | 15:43 |
holstein | if it were my machine, i would take the hard drive out, and mess with it til it boots a live CD | 15:44 |
SuicideSheep | the problem is that i am not home | 15:44 |
holstein | jesper_: how did it boot live? any graphics problems? have you used linux on that machine in the past? | 15:44 |
SuicideSheep | i need linux for college | 15:45 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: run it in virtualbox | 15:45 |
jesper_ | holstein: ye i have had ubuntu earlier just wanted a fresh install | 15:45 |
SuicideSheep | i think i will need | 15:45 |
SuicideSheep | but that will be my last option | 15:45 |
holstein | SuicideSheep: i could be wrong, but this will tell you exactly what the issue is... take the hard drive out temporarily | 15:46 |
holstein | then, you'll know that its the machine/bios | 15:46 |
deej1976 | SuicideSheep: can you get into the bios on your HP E | 15:46 |
holstein | jesper_: i would also take that machine, and see what it takes to get to the desktop with a live CD... nomodeset, or whatever 'safe graphics' options | 15:47 |
holstein | you can always add a custom xorg.conf file at that point too, assuming you need that | 15:47 |
jesper_ | holstein: why? i think it can be some problems with the ati driver i installed from amd.com | 15:48 |
holstein | jesper_: yup, thats what im thinking as well... graphics driver issues | 15:49 |
SuicideSheep | yes i can | 15:49 |
jesper_ | holstein: is there a command to remove it in terminal? | 15:50 |
holstein | jesper_: there should be a readme file in the downloaded pacakge | 15:50 |
holstein | i usually just use the one in the repos whenever possible | 15:50 |
holstein | good luck guys, i gotta run :) | 15:52 |
SuicideSheep | bb | 15:52 |
SuicideSheep | tnx | 15:52 |

Russ_ | im trying to do a dual boot with windows 7 and ubuntu (same hard drive) | 18:32 |
bioterror | that happens | 18:32 |
bioterror | you're not first one to report I/O errors with 11.10 | 18:32 |
Russ_ | is there a work around or should i go to an older version? | 18:33 |
bioterror | hmm | 18:33 |
geirha | bioterror: Even when burning at low speed? | 18:34 |
bioterror | yes | 18:34 |
bodhi_zazen | Russ_: did you check the md5 sum of the iso and CD ? | 18:34 |
geirha | Weird. Maybe a bug with the iso's cd drivers. | 18:35 |
Russ_ | honestly not sure what md5 even is | 18:35 |
bodhi_zazen | Russ_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 18:35 |
geirha | Russ_: Do you have a usb stick >= 2GiB? | 18:36 |
bodhi_zazen | First step when someone has a problem booting the cd/iso should always be to check the md5sum, saves a lot of headaches =) | 18:37 |
Russ_ | yeah | 18:37 |
Russ_ | im reading that link right now and i will check it, should i check the .iso or just disk im trying to boot from? | 18:38 |
bioterror | http://askubuntu.com/questions/65946/errno-5-input-output-error-while-installing-11-10 | 18:38 |
bioterror | what | 18:38 |

ubot2 | Launchpad bug 245794 in base-installer "[Errno 5] Input/Output Error during Live CD Installation " [Undecided,Confirmed] | 18:39 |
geirha | Russ_: Checking the md5sum of the iso is quicker, and given that bug, testing the CD probably won't help much. | 18:44 |
geirha | If the md5sum of the iso checks out, apply the iso on a usb stick and install from that. | 18:44 |
Russ_ | ok testing iso now but md5 sum stopped responding will post back in a min | 18:44 |
Russ_ | there diffrent | 18:45 |
Russ_ | was it just a download problem of the iso? redownload and try with USB? | 18:46 |
geirha | You're comparing with one of these? http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/MD5SUMS | 18:46 |

fosburg | how do you install fonts into the linux OS | 22:59 |
Unit193 | fosburg: Still looking for Mac? | 22:59 |
fosburg | thats correct---have a bunch of postscript | 23:00 |
Unit193 | ubot2: info t1utils | 23:00 |

fosburg | I'm a user of apps but not to computer smart. 'tlutils' I assume that is a utility app? | 23:03 |
