| czajkowski | over the others that were left | 17:09 |
| nigelb | How far did England go? | 17:09 |
| bkerensa | so just a FYI | 17:36 |
| bkerensa | the first UEFI boot laptops are rolling out | 17:37 |
| bkerensa | a member of our LoCo's relative bought a HP the other day and it reject Ubuntu | 17:37 |
| bkerensa | wont let grub be installed | 17:37 |
| popey | which model? | 17:41 |
| AlanBell | ooh | 17:41 |
| AlanBell | any option in the bios to turn it off? | 17:41 |
| popey | and how are you sure it's UEFI and not just the 'its got 4 primary partitions' issue? | 17:41 |
| AlanBell | and will they send it back as defective? | 17:42 |
| popey | I would be surprised if this is secure boot given the management of keys isnt even settled yet | 17:42 |
| czajkowski | nigelb: it got out of the pool stage http://www.rugbyworldcup.com/home/standings/index.html | 17:45 |
| nigelb | czajkowski: ah | 17:45 |
| czajkowski | so to knock outs after that | 17:46 |
| bkerensa | popey: Let me grab it from my e-mail | 17:58 |
| bkerensa | popey: "My friend recently got an HP s5-1110 with Win 7 installed. UEFI has prevented the installation of GRUB on this machine. I could find no way in the BIOS to disable the feature and so far, as I work my way up the HP tech support ladder, I have found no HP techs who have a clue what I'm talking about." | 17:59 |
| * bkerensa is going to be blogging about it soon... Reaching out to HP's PR people to see if they have comment | 17:59 | |
| czajkowski | bkerensa: I'm now following aqs advice and will only buy from a listed machine if possible http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/make/HP | 18:01 |
| czajkowski | but that does seem to differ from country to country | 18:01 |
| bkerensa | czajkowski: And what happens when those machines get sold out over time and are replaced with UEFI boot machines? | 18:02 |
| bkerensa | :_) | 18:02 |
| bkerensa | thats where the problem lies | 18:02 |
| czajkowski | bkerensa: well for me right now, I'm looking at a new machine possibly post december when i get back working as current old lappy is kinda on a death bed with battery life and I've replaced it twice. | 18:04 |
| czajkowski | i will if i can buy a certifed lts machine and yes if i chose to upgrade it, it wont be covered as they are tested to lts, but i think it's a nice standard to see and you can view the list to give you an idea of what is or isn't compatable | 18:04 |
| akgraner | So I am prepping for my UDS interviews - Are there any questions you all want me to ask - I'm interviewing Linaro and Canonical people so email me your questions if I use them I'll attribute them to you... | 23:50 |
| akgraner | (I'll blog about it tomorrow) but thought I'd ask you all too | 23:51 |
| akgraner | jcasto - I already added dpm and dholbach as well as jono's questions to my spreadsheet, but I can't for the life of me narrow down what I want to talk to you about...if you have thoughts please add them to the spreadsheet (yeah yeah - I know I have a thing for spreadsheets) | 23:52 |
