[00:43] <shinda_> hi all
[00:44] <shinda_> i have a question about creating a cd / dvd for backup and restore of a custom ubuntu instance.  Can anyone help?
[00:45] <coalwater> u want to backup the whole thing ? or what
[00:45] <shinda_> Yes.
[00:45] <shinda_> I started with Remastersys but it doesn't want to work.
[00:46] <shinda_> The cd won't boot the system.
[00:46] <IAmNotThatGuy> shinda_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem The tool in that list are handy
[00:46] <coalwater> o so u want to create a custom live cd ?
[00:46] <shinda_> i'll check it out.  thanks
[00:48] <shinda_> I was under the impression that since the installation of Ubuntu was itself custom, a custom boot cd was needed.
[00:48] <shinda_> i created the cd but the cd isn't live.
[00:49] <shinda_> The cd won't boot the system.
[00:49] <coalwater> sorry im still trying to understand, u already have ubuntu installed, or u just are trying to install it ?
[00:50] <shinda_> ubuntu is installed.
[00:50] <shinda_> with applications removed.
[00:51] <shinda_> I want to create a custom live cd for the installation.
[00:52] <shinda_> I was using Remastersys but there seems to be a bug issue that keeps the cd from booting the machine.
[00:52] <coalwater> ok check this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
[00:54] <shinda_> coalwater... this is where I began the search for support for creating a custom live cd
[00:55] <coalwater> hm i dont know if i created an image of a live usb if it would work or not
[00:56] <shinda_> That's the problem I'm having.  An image has been created but I can't boot from it.
[00:57] <shinda_> So now, I'm trying to figure out what the next course of action should be.
[00:57] <shinda_> I have to leave for a bit.  I'll return in a few hours to revisit this matter.  Thanks for your support so far!
[00:58] <coalwater> i hope it works at some point
[02:16] <bobweaver> Hello there everybody any web designers in the house ? the reason I ask is for a salary question. I got offered a job and I think that they are trying to low ball me so I thought that I would ask what a junior web dev gets per hour ?
[02:16] <IAmNotThatGuy> bobweaver, #ubuntu-beginners-team for offtopic?
[02:18] <bobweaver> np
[02:19] <bobweaver> sorry
[02:19] <bobweaver> oh I should ask in the ubuntu loco room
[02:26] <seidos> bobweaver: it's probably a bell curve i'd guess.  plus you're competing with folks all over the world.  i heard a comp sci grad from india makes like $18/hr to start.  good luck
[05:16] <shinda_> Any info out there about how best to backup and restore an Ubuntu installation using a custom built live cd?
[05:17] <shinda_> I've attempted to build a live cd using Remastersys but it does not work.
[05:21] <holstein> yeah, its old... i heard it might be broken as of 11.04
[05:22] <holstein> shinda_: you want to have a LIVE cd made of your running OS?
[05:22] <holstein> you can backup with some backup tool
[05:22] <holstein> back in time?... clonezilla
[05:22] <shinda_> clonezilla...
[05:23] <holstein> thers UCK... ubuntu customization kit
[05:23] <holstein> that was failing for me yesterday
[05:23] <holstein> but, i assumed it was my own fault
[05:23] <shinda_> holstein, I think you might be right about Remastersys being broken.  The version of Ubuntu that I'm running is 10.04
[05:23] <holstein> shinda_: i got UCK to work in 10.04 though
[05:24] <shinda_> Ubuntu UCK.  I'll check it out.
[05:24] <holstein> shinda_: its not great... but it did work
[05:25] <shinda_> thanks holstein
[15:55] <seidos> how do i skip to eof in vi?
[15:57] <seidos> G?  never would've guessed
[15:57] <Snicksie> yeah, it seems so seidos : http://www.eec.com/business/vi.html
[15:58] <seidos> i was searching of "end" at this site: http://www.lagmonster.org/docs/vi.html
[15:58] <seidos> and it had "last"
[15:58] <seidos> d'oh
[15:58] <seidos> thanks Snicksie
[15:59] <Snicksie> I didnt know that either, just had the luck of finding it with google :)
[15:59] <seidos> yeah, but thanks just for being there :)
[16:02] <fulcrum> gg goes to the top of the file
[16:02] <fulcrum> G goes to the bottom
[16:03] <fulcrum> thats with vim not vi though
[16:03] <fulcrum> with vi you would do 1G to go to the top
