[00:06] <MutantTurkey> apology
[00:06] <MutantTurkey> I can help that too
[00:06] <MutantTurkey> I am all around trouble shooter
[00:40]  * InHisName yawns - long pdf to read
[00:40] <MutantTurkey> yeesh
[01:08] <pvl1> hello
[02:01] <MutantTurkey> hey pvl1
[02:01] <MutantTurkey> what's up?
[02:46] <jthan> Anyone ever read Watership Down?
[03:20] <InHisName> I might have, but can't remember even the speck of memory.  So long ago.
[04:58] <InHisName> After 19 install attempts, I FINALLY got one to take.    It kept dying during the retrieve files phase of install software section.  I thought it was due to bad iso, or bad burn or something that could not be read correctly.
[04:59] <MutantTurkey> ...
[04:59] <MutantTurkey> dude
[04:59] <InHisName> So instead of trying to keep (salvage) what ever I had on orig partition, I had them reformatted.  Viola, it worked.
[04:59] <MutantTurkey> jedijf: shaking my head
[05:01] <InHisName> Somehow retrieve 1 to 1056 files must be doing something with the HD.  It never got to the unpacking and configuration parts.
[05:03] <InHisName> Now to include my original /home back into this virgin build.    I saved it and did not use during build.    Only installed software will be missing.
[05:21] <MutantTurkey> Happy Cola's are great
[05:29] <InHisName> that's a brand of cola ?
[05:29] <MutantTurkey> it's a gummy candy
[05:30] <MutantTurkey> though I am a die hard RC Cola guy
[05:30] <MutantTurkey> :|
[10:06] <rmg51> Morning
[10:35] <mikedep333> rmg51, morning
[10:36] <mikedep333> ubuntu has a fix for a bug I experienced
[10:36] <mikedep333> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/841280
[10:36] <rmg51> morning mikedep333
[10:36] <mikedep333> (in oneiric)
[10:37] <rmg51> I haven't upgraded my 2 main laptops yet
[10:38] <mikedep333> rmg51, I did an in-place upgrade on my server
[10:38] <mikedep333> and a reformat w/ beta2 on my laptop
[10:38] <mikedep333> some of the recent updates include fixes for those who do in-place upgrades
[10:39] <mikedep333> also, the US server seems to be pretty fast
[10:39] <mikedep333> although I typically use the duke.edu mirror
[10:40] <rmg51> I did a clean install on a 7 year old laptop and an upgrade on a 4 year old laptop
[10:40] <mikedep333> the columbia.edu mirror is also pretty fast
[10:40] <mikedep333> yeah
[10:40] <rmg51> I use the alt cd for upgrades now
[10:41] <mikedep333> rmg51, unless you're doing an upgrade to a point release, I'd generally recommend against that
[10:41] <mikedep333> over the 1st month or so since a new version is released, a lot of updates to fix upgrade bugs are committed
[10:42] <rmg51> I got 133 updates last night on the 4 year old
[10:42] <mikedep333> I remember when those upgrading to 9.10 experienced terrible bugs
[10:42] <mikedep333> yeah
[10:43] <mikedep333> although I think you may need to upgrade directly to the newest updates
[10:43] <mikedep333> anyway
[10:43] <rmg51> I have had some bad upgrades through update maneger
[10:43] <mikedep333> hmm
[10:43] <mikedep333> the only bad upgrade I ever had
[10:43] <mikedep333> was when a debconf prompt opened in the background
[10:43] <mikedep333> behind the open window
[10:44] <mikedep333> I didn't know it was there, and I had to kill the upgrade task
[10:44] <mikedep333> I also tend to use the CLI to upgrade now
[10:45] <rmg51> my worst was on the 4 year old
[10:45] <rmg51> grub didn't install
[10:45] <rmg51> laptop was unbootable
[10:45] <rmg51> breakfast time
[10:45] <rmg51> later
[10:47] <mikedep333> later
[11:08] <rmg51> mikedep333: no time to chat at the moment, but keep in mind there is an option with the al cd to check the servers for updates during the upgrade process
[12:27] <teddy-dbear> morning
[12:29] <anduril> mornin
[12:58] <SamuraiAlba> Good bacon to all!
[12:59] <anduril> mmm bacon
[12:59] <anduril> I'll give you bacon if you come clean my apartment?
[12:59] <SamuraiAlba> lol
[12:59] <SamuraiAlba> I'm perplexed.
[12:59] <SamuraiAlba> Client I have is diagnosed as mentally retarded.
[12:59] <SamuraiAlba> Not the issue :)
[13:00] <SamuraiAlba> His PC is physically clean (Dell Inspiron Laptop), has no virus issues, is hacikintoshed BY him, also runs win 7, he has up to date backups, has all CD's and DVD's for it and his software, and has his pc so organized it's SURE signs of OCD
[13:00] <SamuraiAlba> *hackintoshed
[13:01] <SamuraiAlba> How can I reward him for bringing his laptop in for JUST a checkup with NO ssues, and all updates installed before I got to it?
[13:02] <anduril> You Win the Interwebz certificate?
[13:02] <SamuraiAlba> Tempting
[13:03] <SamuraiAlba> I might buy him Reddit Gold, but I know that will lead to him being a raving degenerate like my college IT staff :)
[13:20] <InHisName> Hi  Bacon, anduril, teddy-dbear, rmg51, mikedep333    Its a great new morning !
[13:21] <anduril> it is a new morning great has yet to be determined
[13:23] <InHisName> SamuraiAlba: if his Laptop is in such 'perfect' health, why do you think a checkup is warrented ?
[13:28] <SamuraiAlba> He brought it to me for JUST a checkup
[13:28] <SamuraiAlba> Of his own free will and hisidea
[13:28] <SamuraiAlba> *his idea
[13:33] <SamuraiAlba> Hiya Calvin :)
[13:37] <JonathanD> Morning.
[16:50] <anduril> anyone know how much burger king sells PA Ren faire tickets for
[16:51] <jedijf> anduril: iirc, the most you can get is 5 off
[16:51] <jedijf> unless you go in drag
[16:51] <anduril> I've sold myself for less than that ;)
[16:51] <jedijf> i think that's a 2 dollar kicker
[16:51] <jedijf> buy one get one is only for certain days
[16:52] <jedijf> it's on the site
[16:54] <anduril> yea it lists their online prices and when we're going isnt BOGO so guess I'll call a local burger king to see
[16:55] <jedijf> i think the numer is 6 dollars off actually, but i don't know why
[16:56] <jedijf> i bought online the day we went
[16:58] <anduril> Field of Screams friday night, Ren Faire Sat then birthday party for a friend in York Sat. night ugh gonna be a long weekend
[16:58] <anduril> still gotta clean too since we have two couples staying here this weekend
[17:14] <InHisName> If I wanted to change my NIC card speed/duplex settings, where would I go to make those kind of changes ?
[17:15] <InHisName> I tried network connections and   network folder (settings )   but neither had any of speed / duplex etc of NIC card.
[17:15] <anduril> your card should auto-detect what the router can do and run that way
[17:16] <InHisName> But what IF I wanted to force a setting where to go ?
[17:16] <anduril> https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html
[17:18] <InHisName> thanks
[17:19] <anduril> messing with speed settings is ok but I'd be very careful of messing with duplex settings that can lead to weird issues
[17:19] <InHisName> Yes, true especially if left in wrong setting.
[18:00] <pvl1> hello
[18:00] <JonathanD> hi pvl1
[18:00] <pvl1> whats up
[18:01] <JonathanD> Nothing here.
[18:01] <JonathanD> sitting in a meeting.
[18:03] <pvl1> where do u work?
[18:05] <JonathanD> I work for a small finance company in conshohocken.
[18:17] <InHisName> Ok, I found the ethtool.  and now have determined that my MB does NOT support anything higher than 10/100, snif.   Oh well its the background machine anyway.
[18:37] <anduril> couldnt you have just googled the model number of the board to find out the ethernet chipset andg one from there?
[18:45] <InHisName> Only after diving into the MB and hunting down the numbers to google.   Sometimes a missed letter makes more addtions etc.   So I just saw what THIS hdw will support.  now it is done.
[18:46] <InHisName> Now doing convoluted usermods to move home path in anticipation of attaching the old home from other partition.  Unless you knew a easy fast way to do it.
[18:46] <InHisName> *usermod
[18:47] <anduril> what do you mean usermod?
[18:52] <InHisName> usermod -d /path/to/new/homedir/ username   cp /home to /home2   to off load to /home2/   reboot    rm contents of home  mount /old-home  reboot usermod home back to normal /home <- the old one now.
[21:58] <InHisName1> I remounted my /oldhome back to /home and only the Desktop wallpaper disappeared.  I installed Pidgin and all the old settings were already there !!     Oopss  I spoke too soon.  I found some in /home/user/.cache/wallpaper/abc.jpg etc.
[22:26] <InHisName> Slowly moving cables to 1gig ports on wireless router.   So far so good......
[22:27] <InHisName1> Testing cnx on 2nd machine
[23:09] <SamuraiAlba> God bacon to all!
[23:35] <InHisName> for thousands of years, God did not approve of bacon.
[23:35] <JonathanD> InHisName: will you attend the zoo thing?
[23:35] <JonathanD> SamuraiAlba: will you attend the zoo thing?
[23:36] <JonathanD> Bacon: will you attend the zoo thing?
[23:36] <JonathanD> < Bacon> yes absolutely.
[23:36] <anduril> bacon attends everything and brightens the world in everything
[23:36] <JonathanD> Yes.
[23:54] <SamuraiAlba> lol
[23:54] <TheEvilPhoenix> heh
[23:55] <anduril> bacon is...inception. there at every level
[23:58] <JonathanD> Anyway.
[23:58] <JonathanD> all of you come to the zoo
[23:58] <JonathanD> december 3rd.
[23:59] <JonathanD> Zoo geeknic thing.
