| philipballew | this channel dies when I am most awake | 07:11 |
| philipballew | We need a CA nighttime users group! | 07:11 |
| jbermudes | philipballew: ok, but you bring the snacks | 07:39 |
| BA707 | Hello California... Bruce in Lake County, just outside Middletown (100 mi North of Oakland) just dropping in after being away from Ubuntu for a few years. | 18:12 |
| akk | hi, BA707 | 18:14 |
| BA707 | Greetings akk... | 18:15 |
| BA707 | Where are you in CA ? | 18:15 |
| akk | I'm in San Jose. | 18:16 |
| pleia2 | welcome BA707 | 18:18 |
| BA707 | Greeting Pleia2. | 18:18 |
| BA707 | Ah yes.. where it all began... San Jose and Sunnyvale.. ;) | 18:19 |
| akk | silly-con valley | 18:19 |
| BA707 | LOL | 18:19 |
| BA707 | exactly | 18:19 |
| BA707 | thank you | 18:19 |
| BA707 | been through there several time when I was living in West Oak. | 18:20 |
| akk | Not quite as scenic as where you are now. | 18:21 |
| BA707 | aamof, was on my way to a concert in SJ when I got my LeBaron totaled. Never made the concert :( | 18:21 |
| BA707 | true, very true. But more work to be had.. It's tough to survive up here, due to the lack of jobs. | 18:22 |
| BA707 | Not much discretionary income out here for hiring a 'Computer Consultant' now days.. | 18:22 |
| BA707 | But I flatly refuse to put myself in the place of the stress that comes with the corporate race. | 18:23 |
| BA707 | at 55 (err 56 in a few days), that would not be healthy for me. | 18:23 |
| BA707 | Need to do some updates. Using v10.04 Desktop from the ISO, and having some minor problems with it. Does anyone have advice on which updates to let Lucid do ? Or should I just let it run-free and do them ALL ? | 18:26 |
| BA707 | no updates applied at this point | 18:27 |
| BA707 | fresh install | 18:27 |
| akk | A fresh install of 2-year-old Lucid? | 18:28 |
| pleia2 | in general I'd just let all the updates get applied, did you just download the iso (so.. 10.04.4) or an old iso? | 18:29 |
| BA707 | yup.. that's the burn I had available. | 18:29 |
| akk | I'd do all the updates, since they'll mostly be security updates, but why not update to Pangolin? | 18:29 |
| philipballew | 12.04 is really nice | 18:29 |
| BA707 | d/l it a couple years ago. started out with v8.04 LTS from the mailed CD set. | 18:29 |
| BA707 | can the update to 12+ be dome online ? Or should I nuke and start from scratch ? | 18:30 |
| BA707 | done | 18:30 |
| pleia2 | it can be, but if it's already a fresh install it would be faster to just reinstall | 18:31 |
| akk | You can do it online -- there's a gui upgrade manager or commandline do-release-upgrade | 18:31 |
| BA707 | As I recall that is in the Admin menu, yes ? | 18:31 |
| akk | I'm not sure it's faster to install if you include time to download another ISO, then burn it, then install it, then get all the updates. | 18:31 |
| akk | But it might be marginally safer (you know you get a clean install, no upgrade issues). | 18:32 |
| pleia2 | well, first you need to apply all the updates to 10.04, which is most likely a bigger download than a 700M iso | 18:32 |
| pleia2 | some of the updates to 10.04 smooth the transition to 12.04, otherwise it'll be a bit of a mess :\ | 18:33 |
| BA707 | True, but I am not 100% sure about my burner at this point, I had started to have some issues with ISO burns on my last couple attempts testing other distros. | 18:33 |
| BA707 | think I'll try the update path first and see if that completes. | 18:34 |
| akk | I probably would -- burners are a hassle. Mine seem to die every other time I try to use them. | 18:34 |
| BA707 | I'll do the scty updates first, then apply the misc, and see how that goes.. | 18:34 |
| akk | (which admittedly is once or twice a year ... apparently they don't like sitting idle.) | 18:35 |
| akk | Doing the updates is probably a waste of time if you're about to upgrade to a different release. | 18:35 |
| akk | Except that you do want to make sure apt-get and do-release-upgrade are as current as possible. | 18:35 |
| * akk goes off to a meeting -- good luck, BA707! | 18:36 | |
| BA707 | You got THAT right.. I even started using a head cleaner on a regular basis, but to no avail... I'll be glad when we progress to the little crystaline 'sugar cube' for our data storage.. ;) | 18:37 |
| BA707 | Thanks akk.. I'm going to go grab a cup of tea and watch the update here.. Thanks.. | 18:37 |
| BA707 | pleia2: And I thank you for your advice... Sounds like I may have a chance.. You now have me hungry to try 12+ | 18:39 |
| * BA707 is closing apps to attempt the updates... | 18:39 | |
| Faqtotum | bkerensa: any luck with that guy? | 20:56 |
| bkerensa | Faqtotum: Waiting on response... I told him if he comes out tomorrow to NE I will buy it from him before I leave town Saturday morning but if not I asked if he can take Paypal and ship it to California to DonkeyHotei | 20:59 |
| Faqtotum | that's me | 21:00 |
| Faqtotum | if you get it before you leave, are you by any chance headed this way? | 21:00 |
| bkerensa | Faqtotum: lol not a chance :P im just going to a diff town in Oregon | 21:02 |
| bkerensa | Faqtotum: I thought it was for DonkeyHotei ? | 21:02 |
| bkerensa | Faqtotum: the guy says he will take paypal verified and ship? | 21:02 |
| philipballew | raevol you made it@ | 21:04 |
| philipballew | ! | 21:04 |
| * bkerensa poofs off to run errands | 21:04 | |
| * Faqtotum is DonkeyHotei\ | 21:05 | |
| philipballew | all these crazy people with so many nik's | 21:06 |
| akk | so confusing | 21:08 |
| philipballew | people might not like if my name was both philip and betty at the same time. | 21:09 |
| raevol | philipballew: \o/ | 22:05 |
| pleia2 | jtatum: ah, just got my alert for the -us linode migration | 23:30 |
| jtatum | going a lot slower than I imagined :) still haven't gotten one for my second linode | 23:32 |
| pleia2 | haven't gotten one for my personal one yet | 23:32 |
| jtatum | i suppose it's a lot of work that they don't want to do all at once | 23:33 |
| * pleia2 nods | 23:33 | |
| bkerensa | pleia2: your migrating away? :P | 23:35 |
| pleia2 | bkerensa: no, linode is doing hardware upgrades of all their systems, so they're creating tickets and migrating hosts | 23:36 |
| bkerensa | pleia2: ahh fun times | 23:37 |
