smartboyhwTheWonderingGuru: You said you have a bootloader problem?11:09
rigohi i set up the xrdp everything... almost everything looks fine. if i connect via mstsc.exe i only see the gray bgnd and the big black X cursor. (pls dont blame me :))11:09
TheWonderingGuruYes, for some reason the bootloader enters a rescue mode now.11:09
smartboyhwHmm, did you uninstall it or move the partition somewhere?11:09
TheWonderingGuruI installed linux mint debian on a seperate external usb drive and then when I rebooted my computer to go into my main distro "ubuntu studio" it acts like the bootloader is not there and enters the rescue mode.11:10
smartboyhwTry https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and use the graphical instructions.11:10
TheWonderingGuruHmm. Would this work if I just used the boot repair in ubuntu studio without loading it up onto a cd?11:14
TheWonderingGuruIm fresh out of dvd's large enough to accomodate ubuntu studio.11:14
smartboyhwTheWonderingGuru: Try to use a CD in Ubuntu desktop11:14
smartboyhwmaybe use the terminal way in the link11:15
TheWonderingGuruWould this work? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair11:15
smartboyhwWell, of course:)11:15
TheWonderingGuruDo you think it is necessary to back up my entire hard drive before attempting this?11:18
smartboyhwTheWonderingGuru: If you're willing to, it's better.:)11:18
TheWonderingGuruI'll do that then...11:18
TheWonderingGuruToo much important stuff on this computer. I would cry if I lost it.11:18
TheWonderingGurulol11:18
smartboyhwTheWonderingGuru: :)11:19
TheWonderingGuruThanks for your help, I really appreciate it. Much better then the wise asses in the other room who kept wanting to put me down, because they thought I was in the wrong room.11:20
smartboyhwTheWonderingGuru: Sort of, but then a GRUB bootloader issue is a Ubuntu problem over all:)11:21
TheWonderingGuruIm going to start backing up now. Take care, stay amazing, and have a wonderful day :)11:22
ubuntu-studio_hi12:49
smartboyhwubuntu-studio_: What are your problems again?12:49
ubuntu-studio_ok12:49
ubuntu-studio_:)12:49
ubuntu-studio_My ubuntu doesn't start12:49
ubuntu-studio_I can see just same black and white squers12:50
smartboyhwubuntu-studio: You mean your Ubuntu Studio won't start, or is it the normal Ubuntu Desktop?12:50
ubuntu-studio_I have the data in the home12:50
ubuntu-studio_cataloge12:50
ubuntu-studio_so, In my opinion I  must reinstal ubuntu12:50
smartboyhwubuntu-studio_: Are you trying to boot into Ubuntu Studio?12:50
ubuntu-studio_I dont know how12:51
smartboyhwubuntu-studio_: Please answer my question first12:51
ubuntu-studio_I can get live sessions12:51
ubuntu-studio_yest12:51
ubuntu-studio_yes12:51
smartboyhwOK, so you can't install, is that right?12:51
smartboyhwBut you can use live session12:51
smartboyhwTry to launch the installer in the live session. There should be a shortcut there in the desktop12:52
ubuntu-studio_I can install new one, without any problems, but Iam not shure if it will cancel my files jn the home directiory12:52
smartboyhwubuntu-studio_: What do you mean?12:53
smartboyhwDo you have another Ubuntu distro on your computer?12:53
ubuntu-studio_yest the old one, I can  not start it12:53
smartboyhwSo, you mean you can't even start the old distro, right?12:53
ubuntu-studio_On hard disc there are my files12:53
smartboyhwActually, you can dual-boot12:54
ubuntu-studio_no12:54
ubuntu-studio_just one12:54
ubuntu-studio_there is one distro12:54
ubuntu-studio_on hard disk12:54
smartboyhwubuntu-studio_: I mean that you can have two distros at once12:55
ubuntu-studio_No, I have just one distro on one hard disc12:55
ubuntu-studio_that's it12:55
smartboyhwubuntu-studio_: So you want Ubuntu Studio to cover Ubuntu completely?12:56
ubuntu-studio_yes12:56
ubuntu-studio_but exept home folder12:56
smartboyhwHmm, your files will be lost then, even the home foler12:56
smartboyhw*folder12:56
smartboyhwPlease back it up:)12:56
ubuntu-studio_:) yes, but I have home folder on the separate partition12:57
ubuntu-studio_so It is possible keep it12:58
smartboyhwEr, then I don't think so12:58
smartboyhwYou can keep it12:58
ubuntu-studio_but how do that?12:58
smartboyhwWell, since that when installing Ubuntu Studio it will only cover the partition that Ubuntu is installed, it won't affect the partition that has your home folder12:59
smartboyhwubuntu-studio_: Launch the installer in your live session12:59
ubuntu-studio_ok I'm doing13:00
smartboyhwGood, then install13:00
ubuntu-studio_I am choosing the language13:00
smartboyhwUh huh, good13:00
ubuntu-studio_I am going....13:01
ubuntu-studio_ok a have a choice13:01
smartboyhwAh ha, is that on where you install Ubuntu?13:01
ubuntu-studio_instal second ubuntu.. remove ubuntu, and, use another solutio13:02
ubuntu-studio_which is good for me? 3?13:02
smartboyhwBut 3 would be difficult13:02
smartboyhwI think use 2.13:03
smartboyhwDon't worry, I think the home files won;t disappear13:03
ubuntu-studio_are you shure?13:03
ubuntu-studio_:)13:03
smartboyhwI'm thinking13:03
ubuntu-studio_could you ask some one?13:03
ubuntu-studio_its very difficult write in english for me.13:04
smartboyhwWell, wait for a moment13:04
ubuntu-studio_:) you mean you are thinking = you are shure? it is good?13:04
ubuntu-studio_thanks13:05
smartboyhwThinking means I'm trying to be sure, wait13:05
ubuntu-studio_:) ok I am waiting13:06
smartboyhwI'm sure13:06
smartboyhwIt would not affect your home folder13:07
smartboyhwSince it is in another partition13:07
smartboyhwuse 2.13:07
ubuntu-studio_ok, I can see if I was right13:07
smartboyhwI mean use the second option13:07
ubuntu-studio_ok thank you very much..13:08

rejvenHello, anyone here using darktable ?19:42
UberMusikhi, i'm just about to configure libgig on UbuntuStudio, and I've reached the part of the install instructions where i open /debian/rules, and prefix the ./configure line … how do i determine what information i should put there? this is the first time i've tried to recompile anything, FWIW20:43
holsteinUberMusik: yeah, and unfortunately, it'll dependon the application21:05
holsteinUberMusik: i can offer one suggestion, try using checkinstall21:05
holstein!checkinstall | UberMusik21:05
ubottuUberMusik: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!21:05
holsteincan make it *much* easier to uninstall later, from any package manager21:05
=== hg is now known as Guest92197
holsteinlooks like its in the repos anyways http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/precise/libgig21:07
holsteini would probably look at the KXstudio ppas to see if falk is supplying the latest versions there21:09
UberMusikholstein and ubottu: thanks .. i will look into this further .. cheers21:17
holsteinubottu is just a bot.. but i wish you luck21:17
ubottuholstein: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :)21:17
Unit193ubottu is a bot21:18
ubottuYes, I can confirm that I am a bot. http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots for all information.21:18
holsteinUberMusik: also, you might find help in #opensourcemusicians21:18
