[03:43] <ClientAlive> not sure if this may be useful for anyone in the future (just thought I'd throw it out there in case someone comes with problems with it in the future): "he b43-fwcutter package (as of 1:013~git20100413-1) no longer acquires firmware, separate installer packages are now used."

[04:13] <ClientAlive> ok
[04:13] <ClientAlive> I saw that message
[04:14] <ClientAlive> well, I'll try it (debian) I don't have much to lose. fwcutter has worked for me in the past but for some reason was not working with ubuntu 12.04
[09:14] <r4y> How do I use the file I created using gnome subtitles?
[09:14] <r4y> I wanted to save it to the video I was making captions for but I can;t figure out how
[09:16] <geirha> I've never done that myself, but it depends on the container for the video file
[09:16] <geirha> some containers can't contain subtitles, so you have to put the subtitles next to the video file, with the same name, just different extension
[09:16] <r4y> It has the extention .srt
[09:17] <r4y> How do people put captions on youtube?
[09:19] <geirha> That's some custom youtube thingy I think
[10:06] <r4y> O, I see, so I should see if I can add captions when uploading videos. Sorry I didn't know what you meant. TY

[16:46] <Great_Danton> I have one question regarding partitioning. How much space I need for my ROOT partition?
[16:49] <stlsaint> Great_Danton: how big is your drive?
[16:50] <Great_Danton> actually it's 500gb, but I have partitions
[16:50] <Great_Danton> so 290 for ubuntu partition
[16:50] <stlsaint> Great_Danton: i use a 250GB and i usually split like this:
[16:50] <Great_Danton> okay
[16:50] <stlsaint> my /boot is: 500MB
[16:51] <stlsaint> the / is: between 15-20GB
[16:51] <stlsaint> and if im not dual booting i give the rest to /home
[16:51] <Great_Danton> okay thx
[16:51] <Great_Danton> 20 gb for root then
[16:52] <Great_Danton> stlsaint i don't have boot partition
[16:52] <stlsaint> thats fine
[16:53] <Great_Danton> I don't need boot partition right
[16:53] <Great_Danton> ?
[16:54] <Great_Danton> I don't have it right now
[16:54] <stlsaint>  it is in / if you dont make separate
[16:54] <stlsaint> All you really need to set is your / and swap
[16:54] <Great_Danton> ok
[16:54] <Great_Danton> swap is already set
[16:55] <stlsaint> anything more is extra
[16:56] <Great_Danton> stlsaint what is in root partition?
[16:56] <Great_Danton> programs are not
[16:57] <stlsaint> Great_Danton: yes they are
[16:57] <Great_Danton> but why is not root partition bigger then?
[16:58] <stlsaint> Great_Danton: how big do you think .conf are lol?
[16:59] <Great_Danton> idk
[16:59] <Great_Danton> it's small
[17:00] <stlsaint> i have never completely filled up my / before
[17:00] <Great_Danton> ok, thank you
[17:00] <stlsaint> user data for the apps is still kept in /home

[20:17] <bodhi_zazen> sure, we have answers
[20:17] <Great_Danton> fedora
[20:17] <Great_Danton> lo
[20:17] <Great_Danton> lol
[20:17] <Great_Danton> I reinstalled Ubuntu
[20:17] <Great_Danton> and now I can't see fedora
[20:17] <Great_Danton> why?
[20:18] <bodhi_zazen> fedora and ubuntu grub do not play nice or you over wrote Fedora
[20:18] <john_barleycorn> Great_Danton, sudo update-grub
[20:18] <bodhi_zazen> fdisk -l
[20:18] <Great_Danton> I have different partitions

[20:20] <Great_Danton> os-prober?
[20:20] <Great_Danton> ubuntu grub doesn't recognize fedora
[20:20] <bodhi_zazen> grub uses os-prober to find other OS to include in the grub menu

[20:26] <stlsaint> bodhi_zazen: oh yea ive had a kernel go log crazy before
[20:27] <bodhi_zazen> Seriously, who reads 50 Gb of kernel logs ?
[20:27] <bodhi_zazen> They really should rate limit logs ;)
[20:28] <Great_Danton> xD
[20:29] <stlsaint> lol
[20:30] <Great_Danton> bodhi_zazen If I understand right I have to change this: gksudo gedit /etc/grub.d/40_custom
[20:33] <bodhi_zazen> Great_Danton: yea, do that
[20:33] <Great_Danton> ok, thx
[20:36] <Great_Danton> bodhi_zazen: insmod ext2
[20:36] <Great_Danton> do I have to change to ext4?
[20:36] <bodhi_zazen> no
[20:36] <Great_Danton> ok.
[20:37] <Great_Danton> reboot and we will see .)
[20:37] <Great_Danton> :)
[20:37] <bodhi_zazen> update grub first ...
[20:43] <GreatDanton> bodhi_zazen I get an error.
[20:43] <GreatDanton> can't find file or something like that
[20:43] <GreatDanton> menuentry "sda9" {

[20:43] <GreatDanton> }
[20:45] <bodhi_zazen> Is grub installed in the fedora partition ?
[20:45] <GreatDanton> I think it's not
[20:46] <GreatDanton> it's on sda
[20:46] <GreatDanton> fedora partition is sda9
[20:48] <GreatDanton> hmm ,what if I install fedora once again?
[20:48] <bodhi_zazen> mount /dev/sda9 /mnt
[20:48] <bodhi_zazen> ls /mnt/boot/grub | grep core | pastebinit
[20:49] <GreatDanton> mount: can't find /dev/sda9/mnt in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[20:49] <bodhi_zazen> naw GreatDanton , better to fix
[20:49] <bodhi_zazen> mount /dev/sda9 /mnt
[20:49] <bodhi_zazen> you forgot the space, and you need to sudo that
[20:50] <GreatDanton> mount: unknown filesystem type 'LVM2_member'
[20:50] <GreatDanton> i did
[20:50] <bodhi_zazen> Ah, LVM ...
[20:50] <bodhi_zazen> you need the Fedora /boot partition
[20:50] <GreatDanton> I think that is sda8
[20:50] <GreatDanton> but I don't know for sure
[20:50] <GreatDanton> there is about 500 Mb of space
[20:51] <bodhi_zazen> mount /dev/sda8 /mnt && ls /mnt

[21:00] <bodhi_zazen> so what ?
[21:00] <GreatDanton> what to do now?
[21:00] <GreatDanton> testing?
[21:00] <bodhi_zazen> edit you grub and change the line ^^
[21:00] <bodhi_zazen> multiboot /boot/grub/core.img needs to read multiboot /grub/core.img
[21:01] <GreatDanton> oh, I didn't notice that there is no /boot/
[21:02] <GreatDanton> brb
[21:07] <GreatDanton> bodhi_zazen: error couldn't open file
[21:07] <GreatDanton> the same error
[21:09] <bodhi_zazen> did you update grub after those edits ?
[21:09] <GreatDanton> yes
[21:09] <GreatDanton> sudo update-grub
[21:10] <GreatDanton> I think fedora grub was overwritten.
[21:16] <bodhi_zazen> mount /dev/sda8 again
[21:16] <bodhi_zazen> ls /mnt/grub
[21:17] <bodhi_zazen> Gah - Fedora puts it in /grub2/core.img
[21:18] <GreatDanton> ?
[21:18] <GreatDanton> i did
[21:18] <GreatDanton> you want output?
[21:18] <bodhi_zazen> multiboot /boot/grub/core.img needs to read multiboot /boot/grub2/core.img
[21:19] <GreatDanton> okay
[21:20] <GreatDanton> brb revoot
[21:20] <GreatDanton> reboot
[21:23] <GreatDanton> bodhi_zazen: error file not found
[21:24] <bodhi_zazen> mount sda8 and use the correct path
[21:24] <bodhi_zazen>  /grub2/core.img
[21:24] <GreatDanton> without /boot/?
[21:24] <bodhi_zazen> I think I accidently added /boot again
[21:24] <GreatDanton> LOL
[21:25] <GreatDanton> brb reboot
[21:27] <GreatDanton> bodhi_zazen: error file not found
[21:28] <bodhi_zazen> so is the file in grub2 ?
[21:28] <GreatDanton> I think it's not
[21:29] <GreatDanton> otherwise it will work
[21:29] <bodhi_zazen> So add an entry for Fedora then
[21:29] <bodhi_zazen> title fedora
[21:30] <bodhi_zazen> root (hd0,8)
[21:30] <bodhi_zazen> you can steal an entry from /dev/sda8 grub/grub.conf
[21:32] <GreatDanton> bodhi_zazen how to get into that directory?
[21:32] <GreatDanton> cat?
[21:33] <GreatDanton> nope
[21:33] <bodhi_zazen> mount /dev/sda8 /mnt
[21:33] <bodhi_zazen> gksu gedit /mnt/grub/grub.conf
[21:33] <GreatDanton> lol there is nothing
[21:33] <GreatDanton> empta
[21:34] <GreatDanton> empty document
[21:35] <bodhi_zazen> gksu gedit /mnt/grub2/grub.cfg
[21:35] <GreatDanton> yep there is something
[21:36] <GreatDanton> Do i have to copy paste it into 40_custom?
[21:36] <bodhi_zazen> just an entry, not the whole thing
[21:36] <bodhi_zazen> menuentry ....
[21:36] <bodhi_zazen> thorugh initrd ....
[21:37] <GreatDanton> till which part of text
[21:38] <bodhi_zazen> I wonder if you need some of those modules
[21:39] <bodhi_zazen> All you need is the first entry for Fedora
[21:39] <GreatDanton> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1090600/
[21:39] <GreatDanton> is this the entry?
[21:39] <bodhi_zazen> no
[21:40] <bodhi_zazen> ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/10_linux ###
[21:40] <bodhi_zazen> menuentry 'Fedora Linux, with ....
[21:41] <GreatDanton> and when does it end
[21:41] <GreatDanton> with ###END /etc/grun.d/10_linux?
[21:42] <bodhi_zazen> no, ends with initrd ...
[21:42] <bodhi_zazen> }
[21:42] <GreatDanton> the first one?
[21:42] <bodhi_zazen> and then there is the second menuentry ...
[21:42] <bodhi_zazen> yep
[21:43] <GreatDanton> http://paste.ubuntu.com/1090602/
[21:43] <GreatDanton> this then?
[21:43] <bodhi_zazen> I hope that works
[21:43] <GreatDanton> me too
[21:44] <GreatDanton> this text I have to put it in 40_custom?
[21:44] <bodhi_zazen> yea
[21:44] <GreatDanton> under multiboot ...
[21:44] <GreatDanton> ?
[21:45] <bodhi_zazen> yea, wherever you put the other entry
[21:45] <GreatDanton> after } or before }
[21:45] <bodhi_zazen> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[21:45] <bodhi_zazen> you could try that ^^
[21:45] <GreatDanton> LOL
[21:45] <bodhi_zazen> Careful with those {}
[21:45] <GreatDanton> I know this tool
[21:45] <bodhi_zazen> probably after
[21:45] <GreatDanton> okay
[21:46] <GreatDanton> brb reboot
[21:46] <GreatDanton> Boot repair doesn't work
[21:46] <bodhi_zazen> shame
[21:46] <GreatDanton> I mean it work but only for Ubuntu
[21:46] <bodhi_zazen> fedora only recently started using grub2
[21:46] <bodhi_zazen> and they use it differently
[21:47] <GreatDanton> shame
[21:47] <GreatDanton> It would be better if they use it like others
[21:52] <GreatDanton> bodhi_zazen it works!!
[21:53] <GreatDanton> I am currently on Fedora
[21:53] <GreatDanton> ^.^
[21:53] <bodhi_zazen> \o/
[21:53] <bodhi_zazen> Still, would be nice to chainload
[21:53] <GreatDanton> btw, is it possible to move x button to the left side?
[21:54] <bodhi_zazen> You could try adding all those modules to your chainload
[21:54] <bodhi_zazen> Not sure about that
[21:54] <GreatDanton> what about changing font?
[21:55] <bodhi_zazen> try gnome tweak tool
[21:55] <GreatDanton> okay
