| Crimson_Rogue | hello. I'm wondering if someone can tell me how to burn windows 7 on ubuntu | 01:53 |
|---|---|---|
| bekks | Crimson_Rogue: Please dont crosspost. | 01:54 |
| Crimson_Rogue | sorry bekks; sometimes things are slow here... | 01:54 |
| CrimsonIdol | How would you burn it on Windows? | 01:57 |
| 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 | 02:01 |
| 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 | 02:03 |
| 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 | 02:04 |
| hurdorbsd | guys I want to try 14.04 | 06:10 |
| hurdorbsd | which kernel is it using ?? | 06:10 |
| shadows | hurdorbsd: lk 3.12 | 06:14 |
| 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 | 06:15 |
| hurdorbsd | shadows .. so which kernel is 13.10 using? | 06:20 |
| shadows | hurdorbsd: should be lk 3.11 | 06:22 |
| hurdorbsd | Ok | 06:23 |
| hurdorbsd | and then how to update the kernel to 3.12? | 06:23 |
| shadows | why so anxious about kernel versions? | 06:23 |
| 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 | 06:24 |
| 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 .. | 06:25 |
| 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 | 06:26 |
| 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 .. | 06:27 |
| * 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/ | 06:28 |
| 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 | 06:29 |
| 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 .._ | 06:32 |
| 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 | 06:33 |
| Beldar | 3.11 | 10:07 |

| BluesKaj | 'Morning folks | 14:12 |
| lfaraone | Is there a way for me to bump MaxReports in apport? | 17:44 |
| lfaraone | putting "APT::Apport::MaxReports 100;" in /etc/apt/apt.conf didn't seem to do anything | 17:45 |
| 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? | 23:02 |
| Beldar | odium, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto | 23:09 |
| Beldar | This is 14.04? | 23:09 |
| penguin42 | my trusty box doesn't seem to have /media/username - anyone else? | 23:48 |
| Beldar | penguin42, Hmm, mine does. | 23:58 |
| 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 | 23:59 |
