[01:29] <ImaNerdyBoy> Hi everyone,
[01:30] <IdleOne> hello
[01:32] <ImaNerdyBoy> Do people talk much in here anymore?
[01:38] <Daekdroom> From time to time.
[03:42] <imnichol> Anyone gotten an error when trying to use the "File -> Restore Missing Files..." option in nautilus?
[03:42] <imnichol> Specifically "another backup operation is already running"
[10:53] <nyuszika7h> Hi, any idea why am I getting the error "no such partition: <some random UUID>" when trying to boot into my USB stick with Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal Quetzal live DVD on it? At the grub rescue prompt, ls says the USB stick has an MS-DOS partition table (NTFS); could that be the problem? After setting prefix and root, the `linux' command says "unknown filesystem". How could I get this thing working? I'm using
[10:53] <nyuszika7h> unetbootin.
[10:54] <nyuszika7h> The current operating system on my laptop is Windows 8 Release Preview.
[10:57] <nyuszika7h> I'm running out of battery soon. :( I'll check back for answers at home if I don't receive one until then.
[11:19] <nyuszika7h> I probably should format the partition on my USB stick to EXT*, yes? I have no idea how to do that on Windows though.
[11:24] <BluesKaj> Hey all
[11:25] <nyuszika7h> Hi
[11:26] <nyuszika7h> I wish someone answered my question :(
[11:29] <nyuszika7h> Hmm, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=811397 says it should be FAT32
[11:34] <BluesKaj> nyuszika7h, yes I read that in the url post , windows doesn't recognize linux file systems , fat 32 will work when burning the image in windows
[11:35] <nyuszika7h> I'll try that when I'm at home.
[11:36] <BluesKaj> nyuszika7h, just burn the image to a cd , a lot less troublesome
[11:45] <nyuszika7h> BluesKaj: 12.10 ISO is oversized, so it won't fit in 703MB and I'm having trouble finding an empty DVD
[11:48] <BluesKaj> nyuszika7h, have you considered upgrading to 12.10 by the internet , sudo do-release-upgrade -d , just make sure you disable any ppas first
[11:49] <nyuszika7h> BluesKaj, you mean install 12.04 first?
[11:49] <BluesKaj> nyuszika7h, oh I assumed you were on 12.04 already
[11:51] <MrChrisDruif> BluesKaj; I believe the updater always disables ppa's to prefent errorsupgrading
[11:52] <MrChrisDruif> ?
[11:52] <astraljava> MrChrisDruif: I was just going to say that, too.
[11:53] <MrChrisDruif> astraljava; Yeah, but I made spelling mistakes and didn't use all spaces to be quicker than you =)
[11:53] <astraljava> Haha!
[11:53] <MrChrisDruif> nyuszika7h; which version are you running atm?
[11:53] <BluesKaj> MrChrisDruif, I always make sure about the ppas
[11:53] <astraljava> You win some you lose some.
[11:59] <nyuszika7h> MrChrisDuif, Windows 8 Release Preview :P
[11:59] <nyuszika7h> I do have a 12.04 liveCD handy though
[12:01] <BluesKaj> I've never trid it but won't a 703mb image fit on a cd with overburn enabled ?
[12:01] <BluesKaj> tried
[12:02] <nyuszika7h> 12.10 is over 703MB
[12:02] <BluesKaj> how much is it
[12:04] <nyuszika7h> "Warning: This image is oversized (which is a bug) and will not fit onto a standard 703MiB CD. However, you may still test it using a DVD, a USB drive, or a virtual machine."

[12:07] <BluesKaj> usb drive installs are a pita , they have more problems than enough , and until the procedures are properly standardized so that they work on most hardware it shouldn't be encouraged IMO, mainly becqause ppl trying to install from usb come back to support channels for help.
[12:08] <astraljava> Hmm? I've never had a problem with them. I suppose I've just been lucky with the hardware.
[12:08] <BluesKaj> astraljava, yup, or you know what you're doing
[12:09] <astraljava> Heheh. Well that'd be the first.
[12:16] <BluesKaj> well, it's a problem with new linux users trying install from a usb, the procedure is unclear and confusing.
[12:24] <BluesKaj> if you guys can recommend a tutorial for windows users trying to switch or try ubuntu via a usb install I wish someone would post it so i can bookmark it
[12:32] <chris|> quick question, does the current daily of 12.10 already come with efilinux boot loader?
[12:38] <BluesKaj> chris|, you can install it from the repos
[12:38] <BluesKaj> chris|,  but why would you?
[12:39] <chris|> BluesKaj, just general interest
[14:46] <IdleOne> I see update-manager-core got another update to it in the last 12 hours. I am still unable to load plasma desktop, forces me to use default but after login all I get is a black screen. When I try to use failsafe it loops back to login manager. Any clues?
[14:50] <IdleOne> FernandoMiguel suggested that perhaps my session got corrupted somehow which I believe is probably correct, but I have no idea how to fix it now.
[15:13] <IdleOne> Morning genii-around :)
[15:13] <genii-around> Morning, IdleOne!
[15:14] <IdleOne> I'm still on Windows here and I think it is slowly eating my brain
[15:15] <genii-around> IdleOne: Ouch :-(
[15:16] <IdleOne> update-manager-core got an update so I think that line 8 error has been fixed.
[15:16] <IdleOne> I'm still getting a black screen after login.
[15:16] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, no TTY prompt , or have you tried
[15:17] <genii-around> I'm currently struggling with this kernel error related to ums-realtek module... and then it got me sidetracked reporting b ugs with the ubuntu manpages for usb_quirk, etc etc
[15:17] <IdleOne> I can get to TTY
[15:24] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, what about reinstalling your desktop ?
[15:24] <IdleOne> hmm, I haven't tried that
[15:25] <IdleOne> I'll try
[15:26] <genii-around> IdleOne: Did you try to make a new user and see if that one can login to it's desktop?
[15:27] <IdleOne> genii-around, I didn't try that either
[15:28] <micahg> IdleOne: how about the guest account?
[15:29] <IdleOne> micahg, I have guest account disabled
[15:29] <IdleOne> don't know how to enable it from CLI
[15:37] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, http://hashprompt.blogspot.ca/2012/06/enable-or-disable-guest-account-logon.html
[15:38] <IdleOne> thank you :)
[15:38] <BluesKaj> let's hope it works for you
[15:39] <IdleOne> I'm on kubuntu so assuming that the path would be /etc/kdm/kdm.conf ?
[15:40] <BluesKaj> or at the tty use nano
[15:41] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, let me check that
[15:46] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, the path is /etc/init/kdm.conf
[15:46] <IdleOne> thanks
[15:49] <IdleOne> That how to says to first do allow-guest=false and then to remove it so that it gets enabled. Wouldn't it be allow-guest=true without needing to do two reboots?
[15:50] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, yeah , i found that strange too .. linux works in mysterious ways sometimes
[16:01] <repozitor> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1088147/
[16:05] <BluesKaj> repozitor, I assume you formatted /dev/sda3 to ext fs ?
[16:06] <IdleOne> that is windows you are dd'ing?
[16:06] <BluesKaj> err ntfs rather :)
[16:06] <IdleOne> BluesKaj, wouldn't he have to format it NTFS...yeah.
[16:07] <IdleOne> which would also make this a ##windows question
[16:07] <IdleOne> even though you are using an Ubuntu live CD, still a windows issue.
[16:08] <BluesKaj> trouble is with windows it likes to be on sda1 , I had trouble with that before , until I installed it on /dev/sda1
[16:08] <BluesKaj> gotta go ...BBL
[16:11] <IdleOne> Alright, gonna give this another shot. With any luck I'll break it even more and have to do a clean install.
[16:11] <repozitor> BluesKaj:my .hdd is image from NTFS disk
[16:12] <repozitor> now i can't restore it
[16:12] <repozitor> and i can't mount it
[16:12] <IdleOne> repozitor, /dev/sda3 is NTFS or ext4 ?
[16:12] <repozitor> IdleOne:NTFS
[16:12] <repozitor> it has windows 2000
[16:13] <IdleOne> repozitor, sorry, not sure how to help you with this but I think ##windows would be the best place to ask.
[16:14] <repozitor> but i think this is related to dd
[16:14] <repozitor> i mean linux :D
[16:27] <IdleOne> reinstalling kubuntu-desktop appears to have fixed the issue. Thanks for the help and suggestions genii-around BluesKaj and micahg
[16:37] <BluesKaj> IdleOne, ok , good to hear
[19:53] <johnjohn101> see that unity 6.0 landed.  tons of probs with partial upgrade but fix through synaptic.  how do I turn off video lens to amazon?
[20:15] <BluesKaj> ...BBL
