| CKLMN | hello , i want to learn how i can contribute to the development | 10:37 |

| cars10 | hi. ask in german or english? | 12:47 |
| cars10 | I need advise on upgrading ubuntu. | 12:47 |
| coalwater | cars10: well english would probably help more people understand | 12:48 |
| cars10 | ok | 12:48 |
| cars10 | I currently run ubuntu 10.10 with encrypted hd | 12:48 |
| cars10 | and from terrible past experience (suse in the 90s) | 12:48 |
| cars10 | I don't dare upgrading my ubuntu to 12 | 12:48 |
| cars10 | should I just upgrade and quit wining like a bitch or is it better to backup EVERYTHING | 12:49 |
| coalwater | ur worried ur data would become unreadable ? | 12:49 |
| cars10 | ? | 12:49 |
| geirha | upgrading from 10.10 is long overdue | 12:49 |
| cars10 | I do know that | 12:49 |
| cars10 | it doesn't change the fact that it hasn't been done yet | 12:50 |
| geirha | it'll also be a long upgrade. you have to upgrade 10.10 -> 11.04 -> 11.10 -> 12.04 | 12:50 |
| cars10 | thanks you. that is good to know. | 12:50 |
| cars10 | so there is no way I can go straight to 12.04 | 12:50 |
| cars10 | :( | 12:50 |
| geirha | from 10.04 you can go straight to 12.04 | 12:51 |
| cars10 | damn | 12:51 |
| geirha | because 10.04 and 12.04 are LTS (long term support) releases | 12:51 |
| cars10 | ok. | 12:51 |
| geirha | and from 12.04 you can upgrade directly to 14.04 when it comes out | 12:51 |
| cars10 | by "long" you mean it would be smarter to backup all stuff and just start a fresh install,right? | 12:52 |
| geirha | Whether it's smarter or not, I have no answer, but fresh install will probably be faster overall. It's up to you. | 12:53 |
| cars10 | ok. thank you very much for your support. | 12:53 |
| coalwater | cars10: is the data too big to be backed up ? | 12:53 |
| cars10 | that is the problem | 12:53 |
| cars10 | exactly | 12:53 |
| cars10 | a few TB of VMs | 12:54 |
| geirha | Then it might be faster to upgrade after all :) | 12:54 |
| cars10 | hehehe,maybe. but as everything is encrypted i am not convinced of that really. | 12:55 |
| cars10 | does upgrading an encrypted machine take "much" longer? | 12:55 |
| coalwater | how about u try to install a new ubuntu on a small drive, and try to mount the old home without deleting the old ubuntu | 12:55 |
| geirha | Depends on what's encrypted | 12:55 |
| coalwater | partition* | 12:55 |
| geirha | If it's only the homedirs, then it shouldn't have an impact | 12:56 |
| cars10 | nope. each and every HD is | 12:56 |
| geirha | Even / ? | 12:56 |
| cars10 | ? | 12:56 |
| isiah | i didnt even know you could encrypt / | 12:56 |
| cars10 | it has this | 12:56 |
| cars10 | decrypt thing on boot | 12:57 |
| cars10 | i did not crypt folders | 12:57 |
| cars10 | just the entire HD as prompted on install some years back | 12:57 |
| coalwater | i'd still try mounting it on a live cd or another installation, just out of curiousity lol | 12:59 |
| cars10 | i am expecting the upgrade to fail because of the full disk encryption | 13:00 |
| cars10 | thanks though. | 13:07 |
| murxlaus | hi | 13:40 |
| murxlaus | can i ask some question about ubdev-killing-events troubleshooting | 13:40 |
| murxlaus | i having a ubdev-killing event on startup and want to find out which module is causing the problem | 13:42 |
| murxlaus | can somebody give me an addvice what i can do? | 13:42 |
| philinux | murxlaus: you might do better on #ubuntu chanel | 14:08 |
| murxlaus | ok thank. | 14:10 |
| Phryq | hey, you know how windows becomes 'buggy' when you install too much crap? Can the same happen with Ubuntu? | 16:40 |
| Phryq | Because both my browsers, firefox and chromium, keep crashing when I try to use youtube | 16:41 |
| Phryq | maybe I should uninstall some junk? | 16:41 |
| Phryq | maybe I should get rid of anything not from the official repos? | 16:42 |
| CaliMac | hey everyone | 23:25 |
| CaliMac | Do i have to have USB drive formatted FAT16 to install 12.10 from a dual boot hackintosh | 23:26 |
| isiah_ | CaliMac: I very much doubt it | 23:39 |
| isiah_ | what are you trying to do exactly? | 23:39 |
| CaliMac | i am trying to create a usb drive installer of 12.10 ubuntu desktop x64 so i cna load it onto a seperate hard drive and dual boot my hackintosh running 10.6.8 and ubuntu | 23:45 |
| CaliMac | Ok, that is a great straightforward fix. ill try it NOW. | 23:46 |
| isiah_ | I get the feeling I just missed something. | 23:46 |
| CaliMac | I have not been on IRC since highschool in the 90's. I typed into another channel by accident | 23:47 |
| isiah_ | oh | 23:47 |
| isiah_ | what was the solution? | 23:47 |
| CaliMac | im going to use disk utility to restore the installer to the thumb drive | 23:48 |
| isiah_ | just wondering if it would be possible to run your mac os in a VM on top of ubuntu | 23:49 |
| CaliMac | disk utility grey's out the iso and will only let me restore a .dmg file | 23:49 |
| isiah_ | what program are you using? | 23:50 |
| CaliMac | mac osx disk utility. i am googling it now | 23:52 |
| CaliMac | AWKB | 23:54 |
