[12:31] I think, I remember I had to strugged to find the /SET command to turn on/off part/joins [12:31] But I have them back on now lol [12:31] What do you use JonathanD ? [12:31] irssi [12:31] Ah [12:31] This was included in Mint, and it works ok, so I just kept it [12:34] ugh just spilled gatorade all over my leg and floor [12:34] * waltman *yawns* [12:34] g'morning waltman [12:35] morning [12:35] Just reviewing the lovely scarry greenhouse gas weather reports on NBC news on the Roku, scary scary :) [12:36] While I restore files with OS X's terminal on another machine [12:37] I'm sipping coffee and checking my overnight email. [12:38] I finally renewed my Linux Foundation email, but I surmise it will get lilttle use haha other than contact requests from my blog [12:38] I need to make some coffee too, thanks for the reminder [12:38] Well, I was settling in to watch F1 qualification, but it's tape-delayed until this afternoon. [12:40] I know :( [12:41] I won't be home :( going to my Dads cabin to celebrate the 4th early with some people [12:41] Is it broadcasting on a local network though? [12:41] NBC? [12:41] I love F1 btw , I'm going to the Indycar 400 on the 7th btw waltman [12:53] nbc sportsnet [12:53] YES [12:54] I think the antenna up there should pick it up? What time EST? [13:08] You realize that nbcsn is cable, right? [13:08] looks like the race tomorrow is tape-delayed too. they're showing it at 11:30 after the tour de france. [13:09] Oh :( sad [13:09] That sucks, guess I will have to watch the highlights tomorrow [13:09] When is the race then? (the qualifying) [13:11] Qualifying started at 8 am and just ended. The race is 8 am tomorrow. [13:12] I should be home by mid morning [14:03] never had much luck with lirc when I tried it before [14:03] But I didn't spend too much time onit [14:03] on it* [14:04] I think it is because I didn't use a suggested remote [14:07] whoops wrong window... sorry [21:09] Good bacon to all! [22:06] hello :) [22:07] Hey. [22:07] So I'm dual booting Windows 7 ult and Ubuntu precise pangolin and was wondering if [22:07] lol hey again JonathanD [22:07] (again) :) [22:07] totally-new-user: you'll find I am everywhere. [22:07] is your username a Doctor Destiny reference? JonathanD [22:07] It is not. [22:07] ah [22:08] anyway [22:08] "/etc/default/grub" you say... hmm [22:08] I think so. [22:08] through the file manager or terminal? [22:09] well, you're new to ubuntu I gather, so use the gui text editor :) [22:10] i see, what language is this grub file written in? [22:10] C? [22:10] i's plain text. [22:10] there should be a timeout value in it. [22:11] GRUB_DEFAULT=0 #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true GRUB_TIMEOUT=10 GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian` GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" [22:11] ohh that didnt paste as expected lol [22:11] probably [22:11] change "GRUB_TIMEOUT=10" ey? [22:12] Yup [22:13] does setting it to "0" make it start instantly? [22:13] I haven't tried it [22:14] ah I'm dual booting on a 500GB 4GB Ram somewhat old inspiron laptop [22:15] I'll just set it to 30, more than enough time to test stuff out. or maybe zero if i find out that means no timeout time or something [22:15] so to anyone else here [22:16] my issue was just adjusting the main boot screen more to my liking [22:16] so you know, if you want to re-arrange it... [22:16] you'll find windows is not in the list [22:16] so it starts up and the BIOS screen goes and then the purple Ubuntu boot menu with the boot options, normal Ubuntu being at the top and Windows at the bottom [22:18] hm why isn't the command "vbeinfo" working when I type it into the terminal line? [22:19] do i need to install something? [22:20] hmm and i also can't save the grub file, says i need permission but I am the only user and the admin [22:20] using gedit [22:20] *save the changes to grub file [22:21] you need to sudo it, probably. [22:21] I don't often sudo gui things, so I'm not 100% sure how to do that properly. [22:22] i see... what would i need to type into terminal for sudo access to the grub? [22:22] something like... "cd /etc/default" [22:22] ? [22:23] you can try nano, it's a pretty user friendly CLI text editor [22:23] sudo nano /etc/default/grub [22:24] oh wow okay [22:25] so i've changed the 10 to 30.... now what? exit and run "update-grub" ? [22:25] or save it while in nano [22:27] what does "^X" mean? [22:29] ctrl x [22:29] i see, so upper left says "modified" so i ctrl x and then "update-grub"? [22:32] yes [22:32] sweet [22:32] that's one issue down [22:33] what's the best way to get help in your opinion JonathanD ? forums? I see a lot of idle users in here... [22:33] This is a pretty good place but folks are off doing weekend things :) [22:34] there is also #ubuntu [22:34] lol this is my weekend thing xD [22:34] thanks [22:34] would it be safe to assume you're also in #Ubuntu? [22:35] Yes. [22:35] totally-new-user: I help run freenode, I am everywhere. [22:35] :) [22:35] xD [22:36] totally-new-user: although I do in fact live in PA, which is why I'm in -nj and -pa [22:37] ah I frequent PA [22:37] family [22:43] lazy day... [22:44] indeed [22:57] totally-new-user: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [23:07] JonathanD: sudo gedit [23:13] gedit, yeah.
