[01:53] <Crimson_Rogue> hello. I'm wondering if someone can tell me how to burn windows 7 on ubuntu
[01:54] <bekks> Crimson_Rogue: Please dont crosspost.
[01:54] <Crimson_Rogue> sorry bekks; sometimes things are slow here...
[01:57] <CrimsonIdol> How would you burn it on Windows?
[02:01] <shadows> light a match ... what are you talking about?
[02:01] <shadows> set thing on fire is easy cover it in lamp oil and apply flame
[02:03] <Crimson_Rogue> step 1: unscrew your harddrive
[02:03] <shadows> or better, remove computer battery and chop it with an axe and pour water on top :)
[02:03] <Crimson_Rogue> step 2: apply lighter fluid
[02:03] <Crimson_Rogue> step 3: light with match or lighter
[02:03] <Crimson_Rogue> step 4: remove ram
[02:03] <Crimson_Rogue> step 5: once hdd is done burning, take apart hdd
[02:04] <Crimson_Rogue> step 6: shred all the "paper" (for lack of better words)
[02:04] <Crimson_Rogue> step 7: your computer's hdd is now destroyed
[06:10] <hurdorbsd> guys I want to try 14.04
[06:10] <hurdorbsd> which kernel is it using ??
[06:14] <shadows> hurdorbsd: lk 3.12
[06:15] <shadows> hurdorbsd: it might be better if you install 13.10 at this time and run a mainline kernel if you are needing 3.12 kernel
[06:20] <hurdorbsd> shadows .. so which kernel is 13.10 using?
[06:22] <shadows> hurdorbsd: should be lk 3.11
[06:23] <hurdorbsd> Ok
[06:23] <hurdorbsd> and then how to update the kernel to 3.12?
[06:23] <shadows> why so anxious about kernel versions?
[06:24] <hurdorbsd> long story
[06:24] <hurdorbsd> It is a modem thing
[06:24] <hurdorbsd> :[
[06:24] <shadows> depending on what it is, you may benefit by simply updating the driver in question
[06:25] <shadows> ala building the modules needed
[06:25] <hurdorbsd> actually shadows .. I am using a USB modem ZTE AC 8700
[06:25] <hurdorbsd> I dial using wvdial
[06:25] <hurdorbsd> but it works till 3.8.x only .. 3.9 no 3.10 didn't try 3.11/3.12 some1 online said it is working again ..
[06:26] <shadows> interesting
[06:26] <shadows> have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds
[06:26] <hurdorbsd> Actually it isn't detect by wvdial in 3.9 or newer but 3.11 is again starting to detect it
[06:27] <hurdorbsd> I was a computer buff in high school but I am a lawyer now so I don't want to read everything all over again .. I just wanted to know if I could get it to work in 3.11/3.12 then it would be awesome ..
[06:28]  * shadows :)
[06:28] <shadows> I would suggest trying the appropriate download for your CPU type from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.12-saucy/
[06:29] <shadows> you'll need information from the first link if say your modem was working but is now broken, you can find which version it broke and then give information to the programmers
[06:32] <hurdorbsd> shadows ... 3.8.x = modem works ( and the issue is over 20 lakh people over here are using this modem .. and half of them use linux only tht too ubuntu or its derivatives only .._
[06:33] <hurdorbsd> Wait which kernel is 13.04?
[06:33] <hurdorbsd> I haven't used ubuntu in a while but I can tell you where it works and where it doesnt
[10:07] <Beldar> 3.11
[10:07] <Beldar> doh thats 13.10
[14:12] <BluesKaj> 'Morning folks
[17:44] <lfaraone> Is there a way for me to bump MaxReports in apport?
[17:45] <lfaraone> putting "APT::Apport::MaxReports 100;" in /etc/apt/apt.conf didn't seem to do anything
[23:02] <odium> hey, if I wanted to poll the hardware temperature as close to real time as possible and do something when it's value is greater than something, how can I do that without exhausting my systems resources?
[23:09] <Beldar> odium, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto
[23:09] <Beldar> This is 14.04?
[23:48] <penguin42> my trusty box doesn't seem to have /media/username - anyone else?
[23:58] <Beldar> penguin42, Hmm,  mine does.
[23:59] <penguin42> odd
[23:59] <Beldar> I have a file there but it is empty
[23:59] <penguin42> hmm , /media/dg has sprung into existence now I plugged a thumb drive in
