xTEMPLARxi thought you had more than the one... Maybe I'm thinking of Raoul.17:07
wrstjust one for me !!! thats MORE than enough17:12
wrstmorning chris4585 ;)17:12
chris4585hey wrst17:13
xTEMPLARxdownloading latest 12.10 beta17:24
xTEMPLARxI tried updating my machine at home from 10.04 to 12.04 doing the built-in dist upgrade... it failed miserably.17:25
xTEMPLARxmiserably I say17:25
xTEMPLARxalthough now that I think about it, it was probably graphics issues17:25
xTEMPLARx:D17:25
wrstyou always have graphics issues :P17:28
xTEMPLARxonly here lately for some reason17:40
xTEMPLARxfrustrating17:40
wrstthat is and you are running nvidia right?17:43
xTEMPLARxyup everywhere17:56
xTEMPLARxso its almost like I never had any trouble with them until Linus ran his mouth about NVidia17:57
wrstxTEMPLARx: evil plot by them?18:27
xTEMPLARxcould be!18:27
wrstNVidia says... I'll show you Linus, how dare you stick that particular digit out at us!18:27
xTEMPLARxhaha18:30
xTEMPLARxi wonder... can one upgrade from a 32-bit to a 64-bit system?18:31
wrstxTEMPLARx: good question that would rquire a different kernel and all different packages correct?18:39
xTEMPLARxpossibly18:39
xTEMPLARxdefinitely on the kernel18:39
wrstyou currently 32 bit i take it?18:41
xTEMPLARxyeah here18:42
xTEMPLARxbut this is the base install I had prior to upgrading to the quad-core AMD mobo18:42
wrstxTEMPLARx: it is possible it appears: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=175016918:43
wrstlast commetn18:43
xTEMPLARxhaha thanks... not very encouraging, that post18:51
wrstno xTEMPLARx i really figured you could switch your sources somehow pull in a 64bit kernel and the packages then reboot18:54
wrstsudo apt-get reinstall the whole stinkin' thing18:54
xTEMPLARxhaha probably18:55
xTEMPLARxmight as well just reinstall it though18:55
xTEMPLARxI need to re-establish a better partitioning scheme though18:55
xTEMPLARxi.e., separate /home location from the main OS install18:55
wrstxTEMPLARx: i really need to do that, when we quit using my laptop at church and arch moves totally over to systemd i'm going to do that18:56
xTEMPLARxthat's always been a big problem here... when it comes time to install a clean system on this box, its a pain and things get lost18:57
wrsti have Win7 native on my laptop but i NEVER boot into it when i need windows i have  a VM so probably use all 640GB on that thing for arch and partition it properly18:57
xTEMPLARxI wish one of the VM proggies would let you boot your win partition rather than having to install a dedicated one18:57
wrstthat would be cool18:58
wrstwhen i go heavy into paritioning i generally screw something up18:59
wrsti followed all the arch stuff and didn't pay attention to /tmp and had it filling up if i let a machine run more than for a week or two18:59
wrsti need to study up before i do that again19:00
xTEMPLARxmy biggest issue here is carrying my email over19:00
xTEMPLARxit SHOULD be a simple process, but it never really is19:00
xTEMPLARxI'm using Thunderbird now, so maybe it won't be as bad19:00
xTEMPLARxwas always usingEvolution prior19:00
wrstxTEMPLARx: this is promising looking: http://askubuntu.com/questions/81824/how-can-i-switch-a-32-bit-installation-to-a-64-bit-one19:01
wrstxTEMPLARx: t-bird is super easy that's what i used at work, i backed everything up when a hard driving was going away and i just replaced the files and it was like nothing ever happened19:02
wrstthat linke makes since you install 64 bit package apt, etc then chroot with a 64boot live cd to run those to get the 64bit kernel i think you can do it or blow your system up trying ;)19:03
xTEMPLARxguess the larger question would be:  is it FASTER to do it that way?19:05
wrsti would think absolutely not :)19:11
xTEMPLARxI wouldn't think so either19:20
xTEMPLARxI mean.. .its an interesting thought to think it COULD be done, but really, the benefits (if any) of doing so don't seem to outweigh a simple  backup-and-reinstall19:21
wrsti'm sure it can be done it appears, its linux!19:35
wrstbut yes probably a total waste of time :)19:39
xTEMPLARx:D  booting into the 12.10 beta dvd... bbiab20:20
