Not 2 weeks into the month they where ordered! [14:25] * daubers wonders whether this "recession" thing actually exists or if it's some kind of myth dreamed up by the government to hide something else [14:35] I just removed a storage hard drive from my computer and now my computer boots to grub rescue [14:35] It shouldn't have been affected by the change because the drive that grub is on is the only operating system drive [14:35] Is it possible that a change in sata cables to the motherboard is to blame? [14:38] kvarley: its more probably that the boot loader isn't where you thought it was ☺ [14:38] 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 [14:39] yeah, i expect so [14:55] howdy all [14:55] daubers: interesting [14:56] given that the FTSE was at ~6500 at it's peak, and now it's at ~5500 we're not going too badly [14:56] 5387 at the mo [15:00] "/usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)." - popey - any ideas?

Then using a live disc I installed it =) [15:38] Thanks for the help [15:42] sorry I couldn't help more [15:42] thanks [15:42] good job :D [15:56] AL!! [15:56] Aloh! [15:56] czajkowski: hiya!

[16:07] woo, had to write my own desktop file in an obscure place but I got it \o/ [16:11] super meat boy doesn't run on lucid :( [16:12] oimon1, it prolly does, try deleting some of the static libraries it ships [16:12] gordi think it's realted to libgl1-mesa-glx [16:12] I had it running in steam in wine [16:12] needs 7.10 version rather than 7.7 [16:12] Some bits didn't look right, but the main game worked well enough [16:13] looking for a PPA that might have later package [16:14] Anybody have any idea what could be causing it to stall at the end of post? [16:16] https://bugzilla.icculus.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5252 looks like a similar bug to the SMB one [16:16] bugzilla.icculus.org bug 5252 in everything "Segmentation fault on startup (32-bit Linux)" [Critical,Assigned] [16:17] That will always be Super Mario Bros [16:17] There's no escaping it [16:18] too scared to install a debian package from debian though :( [16:20] i only really bought the humble bundle for super M boy :\ [16:20] * oimon1 is feeling sad cos he has man flu too [16:22] whoo the mothership has a lovely brown irish stew ready for me!

[17:06] updating LWGL seems to cause it to crash for me :( [17:07] It's been a bug since day 1 [17:07] yea but there's been patches about for it [17:08] Oh [17:09] does anyone feel the feed to install themselves into the internet? [17:09] ah there we go got it, the script I was using grabbed the latest LWGL which apparently minecraft isn't compatible with, 2.6 seems to let me in game, hopefully no more sticky keys [17:13] saw a guy with an ubuntu top on at the shop, i'm not alone in this town! [17:19] gord: you don't feel so special any more? [17:20] i always feel special [17:20] * popey feels gord's special [17:21] also, here is a picture of the wing commander [17:21] http://www.imdb.com/media/rm1646178816/tt0970179 [17:21] guy with the moustach [17:21] +e [17:23] * daubers always imagined him with a tash a bit more like http://www.campbestival.net/media/Mr_B_the_Gentleman_Rhymer_3_1304773842.jpg [17:44] good evening folks [17:47] * daubers goes home [17:52] http://media.iwm.org.uk/iwm/mediaLib/148/media-148168/large.jpg was waht I had in my head [17:53] ;c [17:59] http://www.gametronik.com/site/rubriques/abandonware_simulation/Jeux/Wing%20Commander%20III%20-%20Heart%20of%20the%20Tiger%20%28fr%29/Scans/wing-commander-iii-cover-art.jpg - what i had in my head [18:10] Goodbye. === chalced is now known as chalcedony [19:27] hi ubuntubhoy [19:28] ello [19:28] hows it going [19:28] not so bad [19:28] but my internet is down [19:29] and my phone data connection is flaky [19:29] so tethering may or may not last [19:29] ah [19:30] i just switched over to unity [19:30] on 11.04 [19:30] how you finding it ? [19:30] ok [19:30] i have also tried 12.04 so that has a big improvement [19:31] I prefer Gnome Shell, but my wife and daughters prefer Unity [19:31] i like having easy access to common apps [19:32] 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] I have on this install, and it works pretty well [19:33] its a touchscreen though so I have it set to always show [19:33] but its good for my fat fingers [19:33] i will look inot how to configure so it always shows [19:36] 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 [19:37] hi [19:41] Anybody here running 12.04? I think I have found a bug in 11.10 and wondered if it was fixed. [19:42] stuphi: bug number? [19:43] 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. [19:44] If I open a terminal, and then use Ctrl+Alt+Num6, I then can't grab the edge to resize. [19:46] ctrl-alt-f6 opens a full screen console on here [19:46] f7 is the gui [19:46] well ctrl-alt-f7 [19:46] num pad 6 [19:47] hey guys [19:47] It may be intended to work like that. It is just chrome allows resize. [19:47] 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] ctrl-alt num keys seem to auto position the current active window [19:48] Yep, but sometimes I want to fine adjust after. [19:48] i can resize from here on 11.04 [19:48] For terminal and files I can't, but chrome, I can [19:49] ctrl-alt-t [19:49] That gives me a new terminal. [19:50] then doing ctrl-alt num keys resizes it right [19:50] and on 11.04 you can'ty then resize [19:50] Yep. Now try and grab an edge [19:50] and on 11.10 you can'ty then resize [19:50] it works on 11.04 [19:50] so i guess the bug may be in 11.10 [19:51] 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] stuphi, try #ubuntu+1 [19:52] as we may have narrowed it down to when the bug started 11.10 [19:52] Ok. Thanks. [19:52] np [19:54] i will see if my cd boots and have a go [19:56] I am not alone! :-) bug 892368 [19:56] Launchpad bug 892368 in unity (Ubuntu) "I can't drag a half-maximized window to be any wider anymore" [Undecided,Incomplete] https://launchpad.net/bugs/892368 [19:59] stuphi: oh yeah, I have seen that happen [20:00] AlanBell: Did you also see how to fix it? :-) [20:01] nope, just un-half-maximise it [20:03] anyone :(? [20:03] stuphi, got someone in #ubuntu+1 so tried to ask the same question [20:04] zleap: My old nogin struggles to cope with multiple channels. [20:05] It's like trying to listen to two people at once. Just can't do it. [20:06] ok [20:07] i am trying to ask, at the same time as booting on anoter pc [20:08] so keep needing to chance the cables around (1 monitor) [20:08] change [20:09] zleap: Much apreciated. Don't bust a gut though. [20:09] its not a problem [20:09] 12,04 booting from cd is being a pain [20:12] stuphi: doesn't work in 12.04 either [20:15] AlanBell, so is that a bug then [20:15] it is bug 892368 [20:15] 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] ah [20:17] grrrr live cd isn't booting [20:17] and it worked the other day6 [20:28] AlanBell: Thanks. [20:28] zleap: You have just reminded me. I promised an 11.10 CD for a friend. Must burn that now. [20:29] ah np [20:29] or, for the price of postage I can send an official CD if you like [20:29] I was just going to mention that [20:29] http://ubuntu-uk.org/free-cds/ [20:29] What's a decent FS for an SSD? Should I just use EXT4 or is there some magic bullet for free performance :P [20:30] Azelphur: someone pointed out that ext4 has some wear leveling optimisations in it for SSD [20:30] cool [20:31] hamitron: bitcoin price...is rising :o It's up to £2.50 [21:35] Bitcoins... [21:35] Didn't LulzSec get nearly £1,000,000 from BitCoins? [21:36] Oh [21:36] Realised I'm an hour late. [21:42] exit [21:42] enter [21:43] hippo? [21:50] jutnux: there's only $7M worth of bitcoins... so no [21:52] Oh right. [21:52] Might have been £100,000 then, [21:52] They did get a lot though, I know that. [21:53] even if they did, if they tried to sell them, it would crash the price [22:11] [Gareth France] And now for something completely different& - http://cliftonts.co.uk/cubuntu/?p=28 [23:27] Hi guys [23:28] hi [23:28] What you guys talking about? [23:28] it is quite a quiet night really, but anything ubuntuish and ukish is on topic [23:29] ;D I haven't been on this channel in a looooooooong time [23:29] not much has changed [23:30] must get round to redecorating it at some point [23:30] :P [23:30] Anyways, I have a question [23:31] Do you think Lubuntu 11.10 would work on a system with a 1GHz CPU and 128MB RAM? [23:31] I really need more RAM, I get that [23:31] ❄ ❅ ❆ snowflakes [23:31] But for the meantime? [23:31] hehe cool [23:32] yeah, you need more ram. Might install though [23:32] Alright [23:32] you could ask in #lubuntu [23:33] What do you think the highest size module you could get of SDR ram would be? [23:33] I've been looking round but all I can seem to find is up to 512mb [23:34] It's a really old machine -- 11 years, 12 in February [23:34] wow, what is that thing? [23:34] Runs windows ME [23:35] :D laughing ecstatically [23:35] time for an upgrade perhaps, a little Atom motherboard would work just great and you can stick a few gig in that [23:36] Can't be asked to waste money [23:36] I've got a laptop [23:36] And I'm using an iPod touch right now [23:37] * AlanBell looks in box of bits [23:38] How do you do that? [23:39] I have a 128MB stick and a 512mb stick and an unlabled stick which looks a lot like the 512 [23:39] SDR ram? [23:39] PC133 stuff, I think it is SDR, has two notches in the base [23:39] U have ram modules on you right now? [23:39] Yep, that's ram [23:39] yeah I know it is ram :) [23:40] I meant yep, that's SDR ram [23:40] Coooooool [23:40] I'm only 14 though [23:40] So I wouldn't think someone would have RAM lying around? [23:41] i hate windows [23:41] 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 [23:42] zleap: can't say the same myself, but it's a pain most of the time [23:42] 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] paln: sign up to a local freecycle list and you will occasionally find some gems [23:42] well until i can get my printer working in ubuntu Iam stuck printing stuff using windows [23:43] zleap: u got a recovery cd? What make is your machine? [23:43] or a LUG, loads of people have boxes of old stuff which they are happy to give to a good home [23:43] zleap: what printer? [23:43] bigcalm: cool, will have to go to one sometime [23:43] brother mfc j615w [23:43] AlanBell: thanks for the tip as well [23:43] i have found the right software on the brother site, and can't get it to work [23:44] software centre says the deb files provided are bad [23:44] or have serious errors [23:44] zleap: try opening them in gdebi-gtk [23:44] ok [23:45] i just need to copy a filter driver somewhere [23:45] It resolved quite a few issues I've had with deb files in the past [23:45] Btw I'm not new to Linux, but haven't really got into the community as such [23:46] zleap: seen https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cups/+question/145783 [23:47] paln: well done for making that 1st step by joining #ubuntu-uk :) [23:48] ok thanks [23:48] It's like gym membership - once you join, you can never leave [23:48] bigcalm: I did about a year ago, but was never to return... [23:48] That is, until now :D [23:48] night all o/ [23:48] AlanBell: see ya thanks for the help [23:48] Good night AlanBell :) [23:49] I like the gym I go to ;-) [23:50] gordonjcp: good to know [23:50] is there a commadn i can use to find out where myprinter is on the network [23:51] as in devices / ip addresses [23:51]
