| kvarley | I just removed a storage hard drive from my computer and now my computer boots to grub rescue | 14:35 |
| kvarley | It shouldn't have been affected by the change because the drive that grub is on is the only operating system drive | 14:35 |
| kvarley | Is it possible that a change in sata cables to the motherboard is to blame? | 14:35 |
| popey | kvarley: its more probably that the boot loader isn't where you thought it was ☺ | 14:38 |
| kvarley | can I use grub rescue to install it to my hard drive? ah yeah, I remember now, the storage drive was the first hdd in the bios for some reason. so it will have installed grub to the first hdd | 14:38 |
| popey | yeah, i expect so | 14:39 |

| kvarley | So anything in /boot will be the /boot on the disc, not the one on my hard drive | 15:16 |
| andylockran | right | 15:23 |
| andylockran | that makes more sense | 15:23 |

| oimon1 | looking for a PPA that might have later package | 16:13 |
| Lcawte | Anybody have any idea what could be causing it to stall at the end of post? | 16:14 |

| ubuntubhoy | ello | 19:28 |
| zleap | hows it going | 19:28 |
| ubuntubhoy | not so bad | 19:28 |
| ubuntubhoy | but my internet is down | 19:28 |
| ubuntubhoy | and my phone data connection is flaky | 19:29 |
| ubuntubhoy | so tethering may or may not last | 19:29 |
| zleap | ah | 19:29 |
| zleap | i just switched over to unity | 19:30 |
| zleap | on 11.04 | 19:30 |
| ubuntubhoy | how you finding it ? | 19:30 |
| zleap | ok | 19:30 |
| zleap | i have also tried 12.04 so that has a big improvement | 19:30 |
| ubuntubhoy | I prefer Gnome Shell, but my wife and daughters prefer Unity | 19:31 |
| zleap | i like having easy access to common apps | 19:31 |
| zleap | i was using gnome but thought i have time so why not switch to unity and see how i get on, not much major course work to get in the way | 19:32 |
| ubuntubhoy | I have on this install, and it works pretty well | 19:32 |
| ubuntubhoy | its a touchscreen though so I have it set to always show | 19:33 |
| ubuntubhoy | but its good for my fat fingers | 19:33 |
| zleap | i will look inot how to configure so it always shows | 19:33 |
| zleap | i am going to try and promote ubuntu locally a bit more given we are one of the most deprived areas of the country (torbay) or aparently we are | 19:36 |
| zleap | hi | 19:37 |
| stuphi | Anybody here running 12.04? I think I have found a bug in 11.10 and wondered if it was fixed. | 19:41 |
| AlanBell | stuphi: bug number? | 19:42 |
| stuphi | I have not submitted it. Not found anything after a quick search but wondered if it was worth raising a bug if it has already been fixed in the next version. | 19:43 |
| stuphi | If I open a terminal, and then use Ctrl+Alt+Num6, I then can't grab the edge to resize. | 19:44 |
| zleap | ctrl-alt-f6 opens a full screen console on here | 19:46 |
| zleap | f7 is the gui | 19:46 |
| zleap | well ctrl-alt-f7 | 19:46 |
| stuphi | num pad 6 | 19:46 |
| HazRPG | hey guys | 19:47 |
| stuphi | It may be intended to work like that. It is just chrome allows resize. | 19:47 |
| HazRPG | i seem to be having a bit of trouble with my sound on 11.04 (was on 10.10, but upgraded since people recommeneded that it would fix it) but so far no joy | 19:47 |
| zleap | ctrl-alt num keys seem to auto position the current active window | 19:47 |
| stuphi | Yep, but sometimes I want to fine adjust after. | 19:48 |
| zleap | i can resize from here on 11.04 | 19:48 |
| stuphi | For terminal and files I can't, but chrome, I can | 19:48 |
| zleap | ctrl-alt-t | 19:49 |
| stuphi | That gives me a new terminal. | 19:49 |
| zleap | then doing ctrl-alt num keys resizes it right | 19:50 |
| zleap | and on 11.04 you can'ty then resize | 19:50 |
| stuphi | Yep. Now try and grab an edge | 19:50 |
| zleap | and on 11.10 you can'ty then resize | 19:50 |
| zleap | it works on 11.04 | 19:50 |
| zleap | so i guess the bug may be in 11.10 | 19:50 |
| stuphi | I was hoping to find somone with 12.04 so that I don't have to upgrade to see if it is fixed. | 19:51 |
| zleap | stuphi, try #ubuntu+1 | 19:51 |
| zleap | as we may have narrowed it down to when the bug started 11.10 | 19:52 |
| stuphi | Ok. Thanks. | 19:52 |
| zleap | np | 19:52 |
| zleap | i will see if my cd boots and have a go | 19:54 |

| AlanBell | nope, just un-half-maximise it | 20:01 |

| AlanBell | stuphi: doesn't work in 12.04 either | 20:12 |
| zleap | AlanBell, so is that a bug then | 20:15 |
| AlanBell | it is bug 892368 | 20:15 |
| lubotu3 | Launchpad bug 892368 in unity (Ubuntu) "I can't drag a half-maximized window to be any wider anymore" [Undecided,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/892368 | 20:15 |
| zleap | ah | 20:15 |
| zleap | grrrr live cd isn't booting | 20:17 |
| zleap | and it worked the other day6 | 20:17 |
| stuphi | AlanBell: Thanks. | 20:28 |
| stuphi | zleap: You have just reminded me. I promised an 11.10 CD for a friend. Must burn that now. | 20:28 |
| zleap | ah np | 20:29 |
| AlanBell | or, for the price of postage I can send an official CD if you like | 20:29 |
| zleap | I was just going to mention that | 20:29 |
| AlanBell | http://ubuntu-uk.org/free-cds/ | 20:29 |
| Azelphur | What's a decent FS for an SSD? Should I just use EXT4 or is there some magic bullet for free performance :P | 20:29 |
| AlanBell | Azelphur: someone pointed out that ext4 has some wear leveling optimisations in it for SSD | 20:30 |
| Azelphur | cool | 20:30 |
| Azelphur | hamitron: bitcoin price...is rising :o It's up to £2.50 | 20:31 |
| jutnux | Bitcoins... | 21:35 |
| jutnux | Didn't LulzSec get nearly £1,000,000 from BitCoins? | 21:35 |
| jutnux | Oh | 21:36 |
| jutnux | Realised I'm an hour late. | 21:36 |
| dreamer_ | exit | 21:42 |
| AlanBell | enter | 21:42 |
| daubers | hippo? | 21:43 |
| ali1234 | jutnux: there's only $7M worth of bitcoins... so no | 21:50 |
| jutnux | Oh right. | 21:52 |
| jutnux | Might have been £100,000 then, | 21:52 |
| jutnux | They did get a lot though, I know that. | 21:52 |
| ali1234 | even if they did, if they tried to sell them, it would crash the price | 21:53 |
| ubuntuuk-planet | [Gareth France] And now for something completely different& - http://cliftonts.co.uk/cubuntu/?p=28 | 22:11 |
| paln | Hi guys | 23:27 |
| AlanBell | hi | 23:28 |
| paln | What you guys talking about? | 23:28 |
| AlanBell | it is quite a quiet night really, but anything ubuntuish and ukish is on topic | 23:28 |
| paln | ;D I haven't been on this channel in a looooooooong time | 23:29 |
| paln | not much has changed | 23:29 |
| AlanBell | must get round to redecorating it at some point | 23:30 |
| paln | :P | 23:30 |
| paln | Anyways, I have a question | 23:30 |
| paln | Do you think Lubuntu 11.10 would work on a system with a 1GHz CPU and 128MB RAM? | 23:31 |
| paln | I really need more RAM, I get that | 23:31 |
| AlanBell | ❄ ❅ ❆ snowflakes | 23:31 |
| paln | But for the meantime? | 23:31 |
| paln | hehe cool | 23:31 |
| AlanBell | yeah, you need more ram. Might install though | 23:32 |
| paln | Alright | 23:32 |
| AlanBell | you could ask in #lubuntu | 23:32 |
| paln | What do you think the highest size module you could get of SDR ram would be? | 23:33 |
| paln | I've been looking round but all I can seem to find is up to 512mb | 23:33 |
| paln | It's a really old machine -- 11 years, 12 in February | 23:34 |
| AlanBell | wow, what is that thing? | 23:34 |
| paln | Runs windows ME | 23:34 |
| paln | :D laughing ecstatically | 23:35 |
| AlanBell | time for an upgrade perhaps, a little Atom motherboard would work just great and you can stick a few gig in that | 23:35 |
| paln | Can't be asked to waste money | 23:36 |
| paln | I've got a laptop | 23:36 |
| paln | And I'm using an iPod touch right now | 23:36 |
| * AlanBell looks in box of bits | 23:37 | |
| paln | How do you do that? | 23:38 |
| AlanBell | I have a 128MB stick and a 512mb stick and an unlabled stick which looks a lot like the 512 | 23:39 |
| paln | SDR ram? | 23:39 |
| AlanBell | PC133 stuff, I think it is SDR, has two notches in the base | 23:39 |
| paln | U have ram modules on you right now? | 23:39 |
| paln | Yep, that's ram | 23:39 |
| AlanBell | yeah I know it is ram :) | 23:39 |
| paln | I meant yep, that's SDR ram | 23:40 |
| paln | Coooooool | 23:40 |
| paln | I'm only 14 though | 23:40 |
| paln | So I wouldn't think someone would have RAM lying around? | 23:40 |
| zleap | i hate windows | 23:41 |
| AlanBell | http://ubuntu-uk.org/free-cds/ follow that procedure and put a note in it and I will send you an Ubuntu CD and the ram, you just pay the postage | 23:41 |
| paln | zleap: can't say the same myself, but it's a pain most of the time | 23:42 |
| zleap | just booted into windows, and it crashed, rebooted and the system repair thing deleted files (or did something without asking) and now it boots but won't get very far | 23:42 |
| bigcalm | paln: sign up to a local freecycle list and you will occasionally find some gems | 23:42 |
| zleap | well until i can get my printer working in ubuntu Iam stuck printing stuff using windows | 23:42 |
| paln | zleap: u got a recovery cd? What make is your machine? | 23:43 |
| AlanBell | or a LUG, loads of people have boxes of old stuff which they are happy to give to a good home | 23:43 |
| AlanBell | zleap: what printer? | 23:43 |
| paln | bigcalm: cool, will have to go to one sometime | 23:43 |
| zleap | brother mfc j615w | 23:43 |
| paln | AlanBell: thanks for the tip as well | 23:43 |
| zleap | i have found the right software on the brother site, and can't get it to work | 23:43 |
| zleap | software centre says the deb files provided are bad | 23:44 |
| zleap | or have serious errors | 23:44 |
| paln | zleap: try opening them in gdebi-gtk | 23:44 |
| zleap | ok | 23:44 |
| zleap | i just need to copy a filter driver somewhere | 23:45 |
| paln | It resolved quite a few issues I've had with deb files in the past | 23:45 |
| paln | Btw I'm not new to Linux, but haven't really got into the community as such | 23:45 |
| AlanBell | zleap: seen https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+question/145783 | 23:46 |
| bigcalm | paln: well done for making that 1st step by joining #ubuntu-uk :) | 23:47 |
| zleap | ok thanks | 23:48 |
| bigcalm | It's like gym membership - once you join, you can never leave | 23:48 |
| paln | bigcalm: I did about a year ago, but was never to return... | 23:48 |
| paln | That is, until now :D | 23:48 |
| AlanBell | night all o/ | 23:48 |
| paln | AlanBell: see ya thanks for the help | 23:48 |
| bigcalm | Good night AlanBell :) | 23:48 |
| gordonjcp | I like the gym I go to ;-) | 23:49 |
| paln | gordonjcp: good to know | 23:50 |
| zleap | is there a commadn i can use to find out where myprinter is on the network | 23:50 |
| zleap | as in devices / ip addresses | 23:51 |
| paln | zleap: couldn't you use iwconfig ? | 23:51 |
| paln | lists all network interfaces | 23:52 |
| zleap | will ifconfig do that too | 23:52 |
| paln | not sure, maybe | 23:53 |
| paln | I'm not an expert | 23:53 |
| paln | just an enthusiast | 23:53 |
| zleap | same here | 23:54 |
| paln | bigcalm: where'd ya go? | 23:54 |
| paln | zleap: ;) | 23:54 |
| paln | zleap: how long you been using Linux? | 23:54 |
| zleap | the commands on the site i was given fail due to spefici directories not existing | 23:54 |
| zleap | properly a few years, but stareted out way back with the 1.0.9 kernel | 23:54 |
| zleap | but that was just playing around with it | 23:55 |
| paln | zleap: whoa that's long | 23:55 |
| zleap | yeah | 23:55 |
| zleap | my main claimto fame is I amon the first page of the dclug archive | 23:55 |
| paln | I first started out with Ubuntu 10.04 to see what Linux was like | 23:55 |
| zleap | circa 1999 | 23:55 |
| paln | zleap: yea I figured around 2000 | 23:55 |
| zleap | yeah i ahve used slackware, redhat, suse, caldera (briefly, as it failed to let me log in) | 23:56 |
| paln | zleap: lol I've never heard of Caldera...what's it based upon? | 23:56 |
| zleap | still got the first 2 issues of linux world somewhere, | 23:56 |
| zleap | not sure, i will have to dig it out | 23:56 |
| zleap | also got a cd of debian 1.2 | 23:57 |
| paln | my neighbours are American ad a couple years back they let two guys rent the place | 23:57 |
| paln | last week they came back from America do they guys who rented it had to move out | 23:57 |
| zleap | dunno i would have thought they would have to give some sort of notice | 23:58 |
| paln | before they left they left outside the house a bunch of Linux CDs and old ThinkPads and Lenovo pcs with the weird trackpads between the J and k keys :P | 23:58 |
| paln | I'm trying to find power adapters that wok with them so I can use the things | 23:59 |
| zleap | cool | 23:59 |
| zleap | the linux cd's may be useful | 23:59 |
