[05:55] <OvenWerks> Anyone know what : does in a regular expession? (and how to just look for : )
[06:12] <OvenWerks> doesn't matter, I found something that works
[06:13] <OvenWerks> Eickmeyer[m]: new controls... again sigh.
 yo who wants to do a test for me
 with the ISOs from yesterday
 need y'all to test an EFI install
 because kpmcore+cala was failing hard
[19:16] <wonko> Is it easy to install Ubuntu to a partition instead of a disk? I'm thinking for the next system a drive for my home dir and a smaller OS drive but big enough to hold several versions for testing.
[19:45] <OvenWerks> wonko: just choose manual (I think it is) anyway it is normally the last option
[19:45] <OvenWerks> It used to be "something else" ;)
[20:42] <wonko> Does the installer make reasonable grub entries so I'll know which is which?
[21:09] <OvenWerks> wonko: that is not the installer but grub itself... the entries are not bad but could be better.
[21:10] <OvenWerks> wonko: the grub entries get created every time update-grub is run so every time the kernel is updated.
[21:15] <wonko> I might have to script something to clean those up
[21:20] <OvenWerks> The script that creates the menu is in: /etc/grub.d/ It will be either 09_lowlatency or 10_linux depending on which is +x
[21:21] <OvenWerks> you can do like we did, copy one of the two to 08_local and as the first step set -x on the other two then modify the menu creation
[21:22] <OvenWerks> (that is we copied 10_linux to 09_lowlatency and then fixed that.
[21:23] <OvenWerks> try it as is first though... it may be ok
[21:26] <wonko> Yeah, I'll setup a VM later to play with. The idea is I want a stable version that I can always boot into to be able to work and 2-3 others of the next release or a daily or something
