IAmNotThatGuys-fox: Just came back to office after celebrating my birthdays in Goa for the past 3 days10:44
s-foxThat sounds like a lot of fun10:46
IAmNotThatGuys-fox: Well, I went alone ;P10:46
IAmNotThatGuyHad a good time for enjoying the shores and some good time to spend for my research about life =]10:47
s-foxWhat have you foudn so far?10:48
IAmNotThatGuys-fox: a lot. I will come and talk once I come back after tea :)10:50
Goodguy69Can anyone tell me why home users shouldn't use Redhat Linux? I've seen it said in a couple of forums.11:49
IAmNotThatGuyGoodguy69: It is not like that. People mainly use redhat for servers for its high security. Also, you have to buy it =]11:50
geirhaAnd more enterprise software supports redhat than ubuntu11:51
geirhaor rhel rather11:51
IAmNotThatGuyhowever its easy to use fedora (a red-hat family) :)11:52
s-foxI use RHEL11:52
Goodguy69Cool thanks for that. Thought it was strange.11:52
s-foxRHEL is what I use on my servers anyway11:53
s-fox;)11:53
geirhaThe home desktop version used to be called redhat though, which may have caused some confusion11:53
s-foxI will be back later. Goodbye.12:59

E3D3My intern hd's Grub2 is messed when I tried to install another distro (Trisquel) to an extern hd. How can I recover my old Grub 2 ?18:19
E3D3Do I have connection ?18:29
philipballewE3D3, we see you. someone should work on it soon. you need to reinstell grub is what you need to do18:31
E3D3philipballew: Thanks, I was worried being disconnected or ignored for a stupid question.18:32
philipballewno, you can always ask in #ubuntu as well. i can show you the documentation if you need it18:33
philipballewi dont have time to help much18:34
philipballewhttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/Grub218:34
E3D3phillipballew: I have some nice help, but its > 40 screens text. Have to write it down /remember all to try it. :-(18:35
coalwateryou could reinstall grub by mounting it on a live cd  session then use grub-install18:45
coalwaterok that didnt make much sense18:46
E3D3yes, a little.18:46
coalwatergive me a second18:47
coalwaterE3D3: http://paste.ubuntu.com/807727/ , do this from a live cd session18:51
E3D3I try it immediatly. I'm so sorry to ask you this and thank you very much.18:53
E3D3Done it & got no complaints :-) I reboot now & report afterwards.19:00
E3D3coalwater: I don't no what to say. I'm home again, within minutes instead of suffering for hours. Tell me if I can do something back. I'm so gratefull & thank you more than much.19:11
E3D3Also cool that you can do your accurate magic with my little info and all that GRUB2 info. I must be grub2-dyslectic & wait for v3.19:14
coalwaterE3D3: so its working good now ?19:22
E3D3Without issues. Still have to let Grub find Kororaa on this intern hd but think that is much easier to find out, without help. I'm a little ashamed because I have spend much time in Grub but it doesn't stick in me. Thank you again very much.19:24
coalwateri dont know much about grub myself, i just remembered that i saw this issue on a youtube vid before, searched for it and got the description and pasted it.19:25
coalwaterthere's a command for grub to scan available os's19:26
coalwateri dont remember it19:26
E3D3I spend hours to learn Grub 1, made & stored excerpt. Have now only Grub2 for tripleboot system ! Spended hours to learn Grub2 but didn't finish it because of strange exeptions in reality. This accident urges me to try again. Your accuracy gives me hope but something resist in me to absorb all this like I used to. Maybe I becoming old fast. I scanned for excisting OS's before & remember it as no problem.19:31
E3D3Done - Already had OS-prober installed here (Ubuntu). I found Kororaa, so I guess I'm finished. Wish I could buy you a beer :-)19:38
E3D3* I found = It found19:39
coalwaterE3D3: haha, well thanks, but even if u could i don't really drink, i can accept a virtual juice though lol19:58
coalwaterif you want to mess with something u can always create a virtual machine19:59
E3D3Don't know what you exactly mean with 'create' but tell if I can help somehow.20:07
coalwaterE3D3: you know what a virtual machine is?20:11
E3D3Yes, I had some OS's in Sun's VirtualBox until they upgraded it. Have to learn to use the new version. Never worked with Qemu.20:12
coalwaterwell, that's what i was saying, if u want to test some grub stuff, u might try on a vm first, just in case20:13
Snicksiesun is now owned by oracle, so its called oracle virtualbox. Works still quite the same as the sun version E3D3 :)20:13
coalwaterand yea, like Snicksie says,it didn't change much, just the logo :D20:14
coalwaterof the owner i mean20:14
coalwatervirtualbox.org i think is the website20:14
E3D3Managing the virtual media changed if I remember well20:14
coalwaterim not sure what reference u are using, but its pretty easy to set up20:15
Snicksiewell, its not difficult E3D3 :)20:15
Snicksieand you cannot do much wrong with just a virtualbox :) If you need help with setting it up, just ask it here and we'll try to help you :)20:16
E3D3Nice, thanks.20:16

E3D3coalwater: May I ask you something, again about Grub2 ?22:30
E3D3coalwater: nm. Its solved. (instead of trying in VM did I follow your orders with 2nd distro - wrong bootpartition. Then I reinstalled Grub & other apps etc until the chaos got sick of itself and it all settled down.)  :p23:06
