[00:27] <saqman2060> Hello guys
[00:28] <saqman2060> Beginning testing of ubuntu studio 12.04.1
[00:28] <saqman2060> What should we be testing?
[00:46] <saqman2060> Installing ubuntustudio now
[02:22] <saqman2060> hello murfman
[11:09] <smartboyhw> TheWonderingGuru: You said you have a bootloader problem?
[11:09] <rigo> hi 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] <TheWonderingGuru> Yes, for some reason the bootloader enters a rescue mode now.
[11:09] <smartboyhw> Hmm, did you uninstall it or move the partition somewhere?
[11:10] <TheWonderingGuru> I 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] <smartboyhw> Try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and use the graphical instructions.
[11:14] <TheWonderingGuru> Hmm. Would this work if I just used the boot repair in ubuntu studio without loading it up onto a cd?
[11:14] <TheWonderingGuru> Im fresh out of dvd's large enough to accomodate ubuntu studio.
[11:14] <smartboyhw> TheWonderingGuru: Try to use a CD in Ubuntu desktop
[11:15] <smartboyhw> maybe use the terminal way in the link
[11:15] <TheWonderingGuru> Would this work? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[11:15] <smartboyhw> Well, of course:)
[11:18] <TheWonderingGuru> Do you think it is necessary to back up my entire hard drive before attempting this?
[11:18] <smartboyhw> TheWonderingGuru: If you're willing to, it's better.:)
[11:18] <TheWonderingGuru> I'll do that then...
[11:18] <TheWonderingGuru> Too much important stuff on this computer. I would cry if I lost it.
[11:18] <TheWonderingGuru> lol
[11:19] <smartboyhw> TheWonderingGuru: :)
[11:20] <TheWonderingGuru> Thanks 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.
[11:21] <smartboyhw> TheWonderingGuru: Sort of, but then a GRUB bootloader issue is a Ubuntu problem over all:)
[11:22] <TheWonderingGuru> Im going to start backing up now. Take care, stay amazing, and have a wonderful day :)
[12:49] <ubuntu-studio_> hi
[12:49] <smartboyhw> ubuntu-studio_: What are your problems again?
[12:49] <ubuntu-studio_> ok
[12:49] <ubuntu-studio_> :)
[12:49] <ubuntu-studio_> My ubuntu doesn't start
[12:50] <ubuntu-studio_> I can see just same black and white squers
[12:50] <smartboyhw> ubuntu-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 home
[12:50] <ubuntu-studio_> cataloge
[12:50] <ubuntu-studio_> so, In my opinion I  must reinstal ubuntu
[12:50] <smartboyhw> ubuntu-studio_: Are you trying to boot into Ubuntu Studio?
[12:51] <ubuntu-studio_> I dont know how
[12:51] <smartboyhw> ubuntu-studio_: Please answer my question first
[12:51] <ubuntu-studio_> I can get live sessions
[12:51] <ubuntu-studio_> yest
[12:51] <ubuntu-studio_> yes
[12:51] <smartboyhw> OK, so you can't install, is that right?
[12:51] <smartboyhw> But you can use live session
[12:52] <smartboyhw> Try to launch the installer in the live session. There should be a shortcut there in the desktop
[12:52] <ubuntu-studio_> I can install new one, without any problems, but Iam not shure if it will cancel my files jn the home directiory
[12:53] <smartboyhw> ubuntu-studio_: What do you mean?
[12:53] <smartboyhw> Do you have another Ubuntu distro on your computer?
[12:53] <ubuntu-studio_> yest the old one, I can  not start it
[12:53] <smartboyhw> So, you mean you can't even start the old distro, right?
[12:53] <ubuntu-studio_> On hard disc there are my files
[12:54] <smartboyhw> Actually, you can dual-boot
[12:54] <ubuntu-studio_> no
[12:54] <ubuntu-studio_> just one
[12:54] <ubuntu-studio_> there is one distro
[12:54] <ubuntu-studio_> on hard disk
[12:55] <smartboyhw> ubuntu-studio_: I mean that you can have two distros at once
[12:55] <ubuntu-studio_> No, I have just one distro on one hard disc
[12:55] <ubuntu-studio_> that's it
[12:56] <smartboyhw> ubuntu-studio_: So you want Ubuntu Studio to cover Ubuntu completely?
[12:56] <ubuntu-studio_> yes
[12:56] <ubuntu-studio_> but exept home folder
[12:56] <smartboyhw> Hmm, your files will be lost then, even the home foler
[12:56] <smartboyhw> *folder
[12:56] <smartboyhw> Please back it up:)
[12:57] <ubuntu-studio_> :) yes, but I have home folder on the separate partition
[12:58] <ubuntu-studio_> so It is possible keep it
[12:58] <smartboyhw> Er, then I don't think so
[12:58] <smartboyhw> You can keep it
[12:58] <ubuntu-studio_> but how do that?
[12:59] <smartboyhw> Well, 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 folder
[12:59] <smartboyhw> ubuntu-studio_: Launch the installer in your live session
[13:00] <ubuntu-studio_> ok I'm doing
[13:00] <smartboyhw> Good, then install
[13:00] <ubuntu-studio_> I am choosing the language
[13:00] <smartboyhw> Uh huh, good
[13:01] <ubuntu-studio_> I am going....
[13:01] <ubuntu-studio_> ok a have a choice
[13:01] <smartboyhw> Ah ha, is that on where you install Ubuntu?
[13:02] <ubuntu-studio_> instal second ubuntu.. remove ubuntu, and, use another solutio
[13:02] <ubuntu-studio_> which is good for me? 3?
[13:02] <smartboyhw> But 3 would be difficult
[13:03] <smartboyhw> I think use 2.
[13:03] <smartboyhw> Don't worry, I think the home files won;t disappear
[13:03] <ubuntu-studio_> are you shure?
[13:03] <ubuntu-studio_> :)
[13:03] <smartboyhw> I'm thinking
[13:03] <ubuntu-studio_> could you ask some one?
[13:04] <ubuntu-studio_> its very difficult write in english for me.
[13:04] <smartboyhw> Well, wait for a moment
[13:04] <ubuntu-studio_> :) you mean you are thinking = you are shure? it is good?
[13:05] <ubuntu-studio_> thanks
[13:05] <smartboyhw> Thinking means I'm trying to be sure, wait
[13:06] <ubuntu-studio_> :) ok I am waiting
[13:06] <smartboyhw> I'm sure
[13:07] <smartboyhw> It would not affect your home folder
[13:07] <smartboyhw> Since it is in another partition
[13:07] <smartboyhw> use 2.
[13:07] <ubuntu-studio_> ok, I can see if I was right
[13:07] <smartboyhw> I mean use the second option
[13:08] <ubuntu-studio_> ok thank you very much..
[13:09] <smartboyhw> No problem
[13:10] <ubuntu-studio_> but... I can see there are just two partition, so, I was wrong
[13:10] <smartboyhw> ubuntu-studio: Why?
[13:10] <ubuntu-studio_> I can see the partition
[13:10] <ubuntu-studio_> there are two,
[13:11] <smartboyhw> When I do a clean one I only got one!
[13:11] <ubuntu-studio_> so home is not on separeta one
[13:11] <smartboyhw> ubuntu-studio_: What?
[13:11] <ubuntu-studio_> ok, I will make a back up
[13:12] <ubuntu-studio_> thanks so much,
[13:12] <ubuntu-studio_> bye
[13:12] <smartboyhw> ubuntu-studio_: It is a good practice to make a backup
[13:12] <ubuntu-studio_> I know
[19:42] <rejven> Hello, anyone here using darktable ?
[20:43] <UberMusik> hi, 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, FWIW
[21:05] <holstein> UberMusik: yeah, and unfortunately, it'll dependon the application
[21:05] <holstein> UberMusik: i can offer one suggestion, try using checkinstall
[21:05] <holstein> !checkinstall | UberMusik
[21:05] <holstein> can make it *much* easier to uninstall later, from any package manager
[21:07] <holstein> looks like its in the repos anyways http://packages.ubuntu.com/source/precise/libgig
[21:09] <holstein> i would probably look at the KXstudio ppas to see if falk is supplying the latest versions there
[21:17] <UberMusik> holstein and ubottu: thanks .. i will look into this further .. cheers
[21:17] <holstein> ubottu is just a bot.. but i wish you luck
[21:18] <Unit193> ubottu is a bot
[21:18] <holstein> UberMusik: also, you might find help in #opensourcemusicians
[23:00] <sambagirl> where is the system startup?
[23:02] <GridCube> what do you mean by system startup?
[23:02] <sambagirl> yes
[23:02] <GridCube> yes?
[23:02] <sambagirl> well where you select tasks to start up
[23:03] <sambagirl> you know, where you select what you want to start and what you dont want to start
[23:04] <GridCube> you mean the Session and Startup, autorun of aplication tab in the Configuration menu?
[23:04] <sambagirl> i suppose yes
[23:15] <sambagirl> what i am doing is installing Mate desktop so lets see what that produces
[23:24] <GridCube> :) good luck, but remember maté is not a supported wm on the ubuntu'sverse, not that you wont recieve any more support or anything, but be warned
[23:34] <sambagirl> i'm just messing about basically
