[21:59] <sveinse> IMHO Underscore's questions are on-topic. It's always a minefield getting win7 and ubuntu to play properly together on a machine
[21:59] <xxx_x> karlhunt, but I know for sure that there are partitions with data.
[21:59] <Phr3d13> ok, kill pulseaudio with 'sudo killall pulseaudio' then try setting alsa to use the correct sound card
[21:59] <karlhunt> xxx_x, do you know the partition type?
[21:59] <xxx_x> karlhunt, yes there is an ext3 and two ntfs
[21:59] <excelsior> YES I MADE IT WORK BY DEACTIVATING THE BROKEN MASTER IN THE BIOS!
[22:00] <karlhunt> xxx_x,  i always load sudo gparted and pick the drive from the dropdown
[22:00] <szal> !caps | excelsior
[22:00] <excelsior> Sometimes you have to shout.
[22:00] <xxx_x> karlhunt, when I do that the drive doesn't come up I have to specify when ran
[22:00] <excelsior> This was apropos.
[22:00] <excelsior> bye
[22:00] <now3d> Hi. I have been running 11.04 for 2 months. Just this week I noticed that I get some task bar corruption of the images. Re-painting not occuring etc.. anyone have any ideaS?  I am using Acer 3820 laptop
[22:00] <karlhunt> xxx_x, weird thats new to me
[22:01] <xxx_x> karlhunt, there are also a lot of errors at boot, is there a place where they may be stored?
[22:01] <karlhunt> xxx_x, did you use the -t switch when running mount ie mount -t ext3
[22:01] <Phr3d13> now3d, clean install or upgrade? unity interface or classic?
[22:01] <karlhunt> xxx_x, lots of places /var/log/messages
[22:02] <now3d> Phr3d13: clean install, classic interface
[22:03] <xxx_x> karlhunt, I'm going through it now, you don't think it has anything to do with the MBR?
[22:04] <karlhunt> xxx_x, its hard to tell without specific errors. Does the system boot successfully?
[22:04] <Phr3d13> now3d, what kinda video card?
[22:04] <xxx_x> karlhunt, yes it works fine
[22:04] <xxx_x> karlhunt, I only experience errors when the hdd is connected
[22:05] <karlhunt> xxx_x, i see so its a second drive
[22:05] <Phr3d13> where do i find a transcoder that will output to a format that will work on a samsung messager 2?
[22:05] <xxx_x> karlhunt, correct, im added a 2nd sata hdd
[22:06] <karlhunt> xxx_x, its odd that it doesnt show in gparted these days drives just mount automatically (usually)
[22:07] <karlhunt> xxx_x, is it /dev/sdb?
[22:07] <now3d> Phr3d13: Intel, using intel_drv.so X driver
[22:07] <xxx_x> karlhust, yes
[22:07] <Phr3d13> karlhunt, i remember reading somewhere that if a drive was marked as needing a disk check in windows that it won't work in ubuntu till it gets the disk check done
[22:07] <xxx_x> karlhunt, yes
[22:08] <Phr3d13> now3d, not familiar with those, i recommend searching for a ppa with the latest drivers for that make/model
[22:08] <AuroraNites21> hi
[22:08] <karlhunt> Phr3d13, partially right a "partition" that needs a disk check wont mount but you can force it xxx_x has an ext partition too though that should moutn fine
[22:09] <now3d> ok, thanks
[22:09] <now3d> anyone know why no /var/log/messages exists on ubuntu?
[22:09] <Phr3d13> karlhunt, i knew i was missing something :-)
[22:10] <usernamer> Hi, how do I manually add a startup application (via command line)
[22:11] <karlhunt> xxx_x, i assume you have tried "sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /mnt/mydrive" assuming sdb1 is the ext3 partition and /mnt/mydrive is a valid path?
[22:11] <usernamer> is it in /etc/init.d ?
[22:12] <xxx_x> karlhunt, I don't know why i didn't try any numbers, but I have to reconnect the hdd, thanks for the hlep
[22:13] <cropalato> if "halt" and "poweroff" are links to reboot, why they behave differently, by default?
[22:13] <arooni-mobile> running ubuntu 11.04; but using regular gnome and not compiz.  is there a way i can change the # of desktops that i see?
[22:13] <arooni-mobile> and the watch it switches
[22:14] <cropalato> is possible to put arguments to a softlink target?
[22:14] <karlhunt> xxx_x, you don't mount a drive you mount a partition
[22:17] <Phr3d13> where do i find a transcoder that will output to a format that will work on a samsung messager 2?
[22:17] <xxx_x> karlhunt, i'm going to pop it in and try, thanks again
[22:24] <eternalulz> look at all this activity
[22:24] <nothingspecial> nothingspecial hi
[22:25] <nothingspecial> nothingspecial hi
[22:25] <eternalulz> hi
[22:25] <xxx_x> karlhunt, when I try #mount -t ext /dev/sdb0 /media/disk i get the error: mount: special device /dev/sdb0 does not exist.  When I run #gparted /dev/sdb I get a 500gb hdd with unallocated space
[22:26] <xxx_x> karlhunt, and get this error in gparted: /dev/sdb: unrecognised disk label
[22:30] <WHAT_UP> oh boy potentially major problem
[22:30] <ActionParsnip> arooni-mobile: there should be a desktop switcher you can add to the panel. You can use compiz with Gnome and not use Unity...
[22:31] <The_Weather_Guy> ~THeWeath!~The_Weath!@unnafiliated131 has joined #ubuntu
[22:31] <rww> The_Weather_Guy: hrm?
[22:31] <WHAT_UP> I was trying to install win xp on some newly unallocated space but got some error (it was reading some of the logical partitions as primary, so it said it can't install because i have too many partitions). now i use my handy dandy super grub2 disk to boot (since the space deleted for allocation included grub), and gparted says "Can't have overlapping partitions." when I start it. What to do?
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> WHAT_UP: you can only have 4 primary partitions
[22:32] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: i'm aware
[22:32] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: i actually have 3 primary ones and some newly unallocated space i was trying to use as my fourth
[22:32] <ActionParsnip> WHAT_UP: so you will need to remove one, make it an extended partition then make some logical partitions on it
[22:33] <The_Weather_Guy><EMAIL_ADDRESS>has been marked away
[22:33]  * The_Weather_Guy is away: Away: The_Weather_Guy
[22:33] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: one of the three i already have is just that
[22:33] <avengre> Is there a known issue with VNC and the ATI drivers?
[22:33] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: as of now, i have [GIANT UNALLOCATED SPACE] [OS 1] [OS 2] [Extended]
[22:34] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: i want to put XP in [GIANT UNALLOCATED SPACE]
[22:34] <ActionParsnip> WHAT_UP: does the extanded partition have any logical partitions on it?
[22:34] <avengre> i've turned off xdamage
[22:34] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: it does
[22:34] <avengre> do i need to restart?  (Not getting updates from the VNC server)
[22:34] <NotreDev> trying to use openssl to test my smtp server (actually, just smtp.gmail.com). this is working fine from my computer, but i'm getting an error on my server http://qmail.jms1.net/test-auth.shtml http://pastebin.com/45eRgRVp
[22:35] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: the thing that worries me though is gparted isn't even letting me see the partitions because it has the "Can't have overlapping partitions" error message.
[22:35] <ActionParsnip> WHAT_UP: I'm not sure about adding extra space to extended partitions. I'll have a sniff
[22:35] <luis_> has anyone tried 11.10 yet?
[22:35] <The_Weather_Guy> Sorry, I have no Idea why my Computer put me on this channel. That's odd.

[22:35] <tomeo> How do I change the horrible GUI of ubuntu 11.04 to something more traditional?
[22:35] <dracebey> HOLA
[22:35] <dracebey> HI
[22:36] <aeon-ltd> !classic | tomeo
[22:36] <BrandonBolton> luis_, It is quite nice.
[22:36] <luis_> I tried to upgrade but it stopped short. Any suggestions?
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> WHAT_UP: the overlapping partitions is weird. I have seen it myself
[22:36] <tomeo> thanks aeon-ltd
[22:36] <ActionParsnip> luis_: ask in #ubuntu+1 for oneiric support
[22:36] <Gredeu> i should use ubuntu classic
[22:36] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: any idea how i can fix that?
[22:37] <luis_> Ok thanks
[22:38] <ActionParsnip> WHAT_UP: not sure, you may be able to resize partitions with gparted in a live cd
[22:40] <WHAT_UP> ActionParsnip: hmmm, okay. thanks!
[22:42] <dumbledore> anyone have an idea how large percentage of Ubuntu users are users who install themselves in their own home once every 6 to 12+ months perhaps?
[22:43] <dumbledore> or how much we should take that kind of users demand into account when taking on new features?
[22:43] <rww> dumbledore: There is no good way to get demographic information about Ubuntu users.
[22:44] <benoliver999> dumbledore: Sadly, with the very nature of Limux, you'll never know.
[22:45] <benoliver999> I say sadly... I don't really feel sad about it.
[22:46] <soreau> Hey guys, after an update my dhcp is broken. I went to check /etc/default/dhcp3-server but the file no longer exists. What is the way to tell dhcp which interface to listen on?
[22:46] <dumbledore> rww, benoliver999: okay, that's all I needed to know, thanks.
[22:47] <valleyman> what are the three people with stars by there name?

[22:48] <rww> valleyman: the ones named "FloodBot"?
[22:48] <chilversc> is it the 3D controller, and VGA compatible controller ones I want?
[22:48] <chilversc> rather than the NF200 PCIe 2.0 switch?
[22:48] <valleyman> rww yea
[22:48] <rww> valleyman: they're bots that prevent flooding
[22:49] <valleyman> well that was simple, thanks. kinda first time with irc
[22:49] <derek_> So I am taking a class with ERAU and I using LibreOffice. When I send my papers using Liberation Serif:Time New Roman the professor is having an issue with it being not the offcial MS Times New Roman... Anybody know what I can do?
[22:50] <soreau> derek_: Tell your professor to get with the new times ;)
[22:50] <derek_> valleyman: bots are just scripts, not really people they are programs that respond to certain events
[22:50] <derek_> soreau: lol tell me about it. Acutally its not even so much him, its the university. He isn't the biggest fan of MS either
[22:51] <Tulak> Hello, i have ubuntu server with 4GB memory and it shows that 3GB of used memory is Cache memory, isn't it too high ?

[23:05] <hoverbear> Anyone here able to tell me if I'll have any issues running ubuntu-server on my laptop? (For desktop use, I just don't want to install gnome/unity/kde/etc and the alternate install decided to fail to install the system)
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> maheanuu: irc.gimp.org #gimp
[23:05] <[SPSU]Zach> no
[23:05] <[SPSU]Zach> whats md5
[23:05] <letsbefrank> hoverbear, yes
[23:05] <Lasers> !md5 | [SPSU]Zach
[23:05] <ActionParsnip> !md5 | [SPSU]Zach
[23:05] <letsbefrank> hoverbear, no real issue but you could have a hard time setting up wireless
[23:06] <magpii> good evening folks. can someone tell me whether ubuntu 11.04 is stable or beta please?
[23:06] <hoverbear> letsbefrank: I've done that before. I'm more concerned about power-saving settings etc.
[23:06] <letsbefrank> stable i'm pretty sure
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> hoverbear: install the minimal OS and you can build up from there.
[23:06] <hoverbear> magpii: Stable. 11.11 is beta
[23:06] <letsbefrank> hoverbear, as long as you've done that you should be solid
[23:06] <ActionParsnip> magpii: 11.04 is stable, 11.10 is beta
[23:06] <hoverbear> ActionParsnip: No wireless drivers on the installer, was using alternative since it is minimal with repos and it failed several times to install properly
[23:06] <Lasers> hoverbear: 11.10*
[23:07] <hoverbear> Lasers: Yessir.
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> !away > faz_afk
[23:07] <magpii> ok peeps thanks for the info. was gonna upgrade to 11.04 but wasnt too sure if it was a stable or beta. gonna go for launch. thanks
[23:07] <ActionParsnip> hoverbear: could try Lubuntu
[23:07] <Lasers> magpii: Go with 10.04 LTS -- It's super stable. :)
[23:08] <hoverbear> ActionParsnip: Also considering that yeah. But if server install won't give me issues later on doing power management I don't mine doing xorg and such myself
[23:10] <[SPSU]Zach> i dont understand
[23:10] <magpii> ok, heres another question. I have a 233mhz tablet with touch screen. 64mb of ram and 233 processor. it has about 6gig hd and i wanted to install a linux os on it so i didnt have to get a netbook when i start uni. can someone tell me of a linux lite version that would work on a touch screen tablet of this spec
[23:11] <valleyman> why wont anyone talk to me :(
[23:11] <hoverbear> magpii: On a 233 mhz proc? You can get *single* touch on linux from puppy linux and such. iirc the majority of touchscreens don't support multi-touch
[23:11] <hoverbear> valleyman: You did not ask a question? Chatter is for #defocus
[23:12] <valleyman> hoverbear: 1 cool name 2 thanks
[23:12] <agkdomo> Im getting to know my way around ubuntulinux pretty well, i do want to know the best way to back up my (applications, home folder, ppa's, and settings)
[23:13] <rypervenche> agkdomo: I use rsync to back it up.
[23:13] <valleyman> nope i cant send to that channel
[23:13] <hoverbear> agkdomo: rsync of if you feel lazy there is probab ly some gui tool of some kind
[23:13] <magpii> what do u mean by single touch?
[23:13] <chilversc> ok, from the grub menu, how do I set kernel parameters for the current boot?
[23:13] <[SPSU]Zach> cygwin is a checksum?
[23:13] <hoverbear> valleyman: There is alos an #unbuntu-offtopic I beleive
[23:14] <agkdomo> is rsync already built in or do i have to add its repository and install?
[23:14] <IdleOne> valleyman: try #ubuntu-offtopic
[23:14] <magpii> how do i respod to a specific chat memeber?
[23:14] <valleyman> hoverbear: i dont really like irc so much so far, thanks
[23:14] <hoverbear> magpii: Most touchscreens don't have multi-touch supoort in linux.
[23:15] <magpii> thats ok, i was just gonna set it up so i could use the screen as the mouse as it only has one usb port for the keyboard
[23:15] <hoverbear> valleyman: I love it, freenode is less of a "chat" network then a developer network. Check out some other networks for chatter and such.
[23:15] <hoverbear> magpii: Check out puppy linux, it should run on that hardware
[23:15] <magpii> sorry for being off topic, but there isnt a chat room designated for really old pc's lol
[23:16] <hoverbear> magpii: I think your question would be considered on-topic here. :)
[23:16] <magpii> next question. how do i reply to a specific chat memeber?
[23:16] <brandini> Hello, I'm having trouble getting my usb to serial adapter working, I can see it show up in dmesg but when I try screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200 I do not see any serial data
[23:16] <eoss> anyone know of any pleaces to buy c heap refurbished servers?
[23:16] <valleyman> hoverbear: ok so why do you like it?
[23:16] <IdleOne> !ot | eoss
[23:16] <rypervenche> eoss: eBay, craigslist
[23:17] <chilversc> I need to try booting the system with pci=nommconf maxcpus=1, in the grub menu do I just press e and append this to the last line?
[23:17] <magpii> ebay perhaps
[23:17] <IdleOne> valleyman: Please keep the chat Ubuntu support related in this channel
[23:17] <eoss> rypervenche: i will smite you
[23:17] <agkdomo> i installed simple-backup which system folders contain ppa, and application installs?
[23:18] <edbian> agkdomo: short answer: many of them.
[23:18] <valleyman> ok, well can anyone help me with this, when i turn off my comp ubuntu like restores everything. the desktop is wiped and my screen resolution goes back to whatever it thinks is right
[23:18] <[SPSU]Zach> okay so i downloaded winmd55sum
[23:18] <[SPSU]Zach> and checked it
[23:18] <edbian> agkdomo: more specifically, binary files go into /usr/bin/
[23:18] <neeteex> #drupal-support
[23:18] <[SPSU]Zach> calculated or whatever
[23:18] <[SPSU]Zach> and i click compare
[23:18] <[SPSU]Zach> and it says checksums are different
[23:18] <edbian> agkdomo: and PPA's are not different from any other repo (just easier to set up).
[23:19] <[SPSU]Zach> does that mean i should download it again and retry?
[23:19] <agkdomo> ok. i just didnt want to back up and install on another computer and destroy it.
[23:19] <rypervenche> edbian: I think it is easier to set up a repo :P Just add to /etc/apt/sources.list ^^
[23:19] <tomeo> If I install lubuntu-desktop on my ubuntu installation, will all my current devicedrivers keep working?
[23:19] <edbian> agkdomo: If you wanna back up personal files then just do /home
[23:20] <edbian> rypervenche: You can add PPA's to /etc/apt/sources.list no?
[23:20] <agkdomo> yea. personal and applications i installed.
[23:20] <arand> [SPSU]Zach: Likely, yes
[23:20] <AlessonZaire> Could someone please recommend me a good IDE/GUI/whatever for the C language? I tried anjuta and codelite without success -_-
[23:20] <edbian> agkdomo: backing up the programs you isntalled is much more complicated
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> [SPSU]Zach: then the file is corrupted in transit, you will need to redownload. I suggest you use torrent
[23:21] <edbian> agkdomo: Because files for a given application might be into many different places.
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> tomeo: yes its just a different desktop
[23:21] <agkdomo> :'(. bah. guess i cant be lazy.
[23:21] <ActionParsnip> !ide | AlessonZaire
[23:21] <AlessonZaire> THanks ActionParsnip  o/
[23:22] <rypervenche> edbian: I always used apt-something...can't remember. Basically they're the same thing though.
[23:22] <betanick> would sending emails with apache/php and ubuntu destop 11.04 be considered off topic?
[23:22] <edbian> rypervenche: :)
[23:22] <betanick> desktop*
[23:22] <frewsxcv> what is SIP? is it like voip?
[23:23] <edbian> frewsxcv: SIP it's a protocol used in VIOP
[23:23] <tomeo> Anything special I can do to make ubuntu realize I plugged headphones in?
[23:23] <edbian> frewsxcv: But it is also many other things: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SIP
[23:25] <maheanuu> Looking at #Gimp here and so far it is like watching paint dry 2 drops and 1 log on but absolutely no conversation
[23:26] <IdleOne> how is that ubuntu related?
[23:26] <Spaceman> downloaded a .bin file. Is there a way to install the application from the Unbutu 11.04 desktop or with the Synaptic Package Manager?
[23:26] <edbian> maheanuu: That's how much channels are
[23:26] <edbian> Spaceman: a .bin file cannot be installed with the package manager.
[23:27] <Spaceman> I figured that... thanks
[23:27] <edbian> Spaceman: sure
[23:27] <Lasers> Spaceman: What are you downloading (.bin file?)
[23:27] <maheanuu> I asked earlier on if there was a gimp channel as I am having a problem and as I use Ubuntu I wanted to speak to someone who also uses ubuntu and gimp
[23:27] <maheanuu> IdleOne,  That one was for you
[23:28] <Spaceman> it's the linux version of the program that works with those Iomega Persona Cloud NAS devices
[23:28] <Spaceman> Persdonal Cloud that is...
[23:28] <maheanuu> IdleOne, Zeeero Heeero
[23:28] <Spaceman> ack, can't spel.... Personal
[23:28] <com64> I just installed ubuntu, and it's not using my swap partition for some reason. When I hibernate, nothing is saved.
[23:29] <Lasers> Spaceman: You can try "sudo chmod u+x whatever.bin" and "sudo ./whatever.bin"
[23:29] <IdleOne> maheanuu: what does that mean?
[23:29] <maheanuu> IdleOne,  You asked I told you and nothing back  What gives you the cop on the block or what
[23:29] <Spaceman> <<<< total noob at the linux command line
[23:36] <rallias> umm... I'm getting a grub error after a fresh install "ELF header smaller than expected". Is there any way to recover from this without reinstalling?
[23:42] <rypervenche> Spaceman: Want a PDF showing how to use the command line?
[23:43] <agkdomo> How do i upgrade to 11.10 Beta 1 from 11.04 ? im trying to follow the directions from ubuntu website but i dont see the "Show new distribution releases" option in update menu
[23:47] <edbian> agkdomo: looking it up now
[23:47] <agkdomo> :D thanks.
[23:48] <edbian> agkdomo: gksudo update-manager -d
[23:49] <agkdomo> ok thanks !
[23:50] <jsec>  /play
[23:52] <agkdomo> pfft. still not showing up. guessi have to stick with 11.04
[23:52] <sCOTTo> Hey guys :D Can someone tell me the command I would use to see how many different domains are pointing at a certain IP address? Someone told me once upon a time - but I just plum forgot :(
[23:52] <explodes> alright, so im in recovery mode, root with networking, i've never tired to connect to LAN via the terminal before, how do I do this, apparently WIFI won't work in this recovery mode, right??
[23:53] <edbian> explodes: I think wifi could work, setting up is a pain in the butt though (CLI)
[23:53] <agkdomo> nvm.
[23:53] <edbian> explodes: What are you trying to do ?
[23:53] <agkdomo> it shows
[23:53] <explodes> wpa_supplicant and what not?
[23:53] <edbian> agkdomo: ha :)
[23:53] <agkdomo> thanks edbian
[23:53] <edbian> explodes: yes, you need that
[23:53] <explodes> i just want to connectt to the internet to try updating my packages...
[23:53] <edbian> agkdomo: sure :)
[23:54] <edbian> explodes: You can't connect via lan?  (why are you booting in recovery mode at all?)
[23:54] <agkdomo> i have to learn the diffrence of using alt+f2 and terminal
[23:54] <edbian> agkdomo: very very little difference
[23:54] <explodes> edbian: regular mode isn't booting
[23:55] <explodes> edbian: i havent tried to connect via lan yet
[23:55] <edbian> explodes: so what about LAN then?  ping www.google.com  does that work?  Does LAN work in normal mode?
[23:55] <edbian> explodes: Is the LAN plugged in?
[23:55] <agkdomo> yea bust using alt+f2 made upgrade show
[23:55] <edbian> agkdomo: strange
[23:55] <explodes> LAN is plugged into a windows box connected to my internet via WIFI .. hence the complication
[23:55] <explodes> i doubt the windows box is set up properly.
[23:55] <agkdomo> maybe it has something with using gnome 3 on 11.04
[23:56] <agkdomo> either way its working now :P
[23:56] <edbian> explodes: is there a switch between the windows machine and this machine?
[23:56] <edbian> agkdomo: 11.04 does not use gnome 3
[23:56] <explodes> this is the windows machine
[23:56] <edbian> agkdomo: unless you isntalled it
[23:56] <explodes> but no
[23:56] <explodes> just a wire
[23:56] <com64> My (what's supposed to be) swap partition (/dev/sda2) shows up as unknown filesystem in gparted, and has a red exclamation mark next to it. I've been trying to format it to linux-swap, but apparently it's busy. I've tried sudo swapoff -a.
[23:56] <agkdomo> yea i installed it
[23:56] <edbian> explodes: machine a = windows machine, machine b = ubuntu machine
[23:56] <agkdomo> how do i make the names highlight red?
[23:56] <edbian> agkdomo: just type someone's name like I'm doing for you.
[23:57] <agkdomo> ebian does it show?
[23:57] <edbian> explodes: ok?  (if there is no switch it will not work unless you have a special crossover cable)
[23:57] <edbian> agkdomo: You have to spell it right
[23:57] <agkdomo> o lmao.
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> agkdomo: use tab to complete nicks
[23:57] <keyboardtalk> Is there a guide to installing a tor relay on ubuntu server?
[23:57] <ActionParsnip> !tor
[23:57] <agkdomo> edbian, does it show now?
[23:57] <agkdomo> dammit
[23:57] <edbian> agkdomo: yes
[23:57] <agkdomo> o ok.
[23:58] <agkdomo> well ill be back with more questions after this upgrade.
[23:58] <explodes> oh fuck its not a crossover cable, your'e right edbian :I here is my script to connect to WPA wifi .,. for some reason it hangs on dhclient wlan0
[23:58] <explodes> http://pastie.org/2540423
[23:58] <hoverbear> explodes: This is a public all ages channel, please watch the language. :-P
[23:58] <explodes> sorry
[23:58] <edbian> can you pastebin /etc/wpa_supplicant ?
[23:59] <edbian> explodes: ^^^


[14:58] <xclaesse> Hi there. Every time I get a kernel update on 20.04 I see those messages: https://pastebin.com/Rf9vVVBM. Not sure if that's harmless or not.
[15:22] <ryuo> xclaesse: harmless probably. it just means it couldn't find certain firmware the driver could use. if your video graphics still work then obviously you don't need them.
[15:22] <ryuo> it'll probably go away with a future linux-firmware update.
[15:50] <aberrant> hi all. I would appreciate some help. I installed a custom kernel (5.3.10+) a while back to fix a problem that's now been fixed in 5.3.0-40.32. How do I remove my custom kernel and go back to the mainstream one?
[15:50] <aberrant> If it helps, I used dpkg to install the custom kernel.
[15:51] <aberrant> ii  linux-image-5.3.10+                  5.3.10+-1                              amd64        Linux kernel, version 5.3.10+
[15:54] <aberrant> I wonder if it's as simple as apt remove :)
[16:05] <ryuo> already gone.

[14:22] <adom> ChinnoDog marcoceppi ^
[15:18] <ChinnoDog> country boy
[15:18] <ChinnoDog> marcoceppi: Have you been to Open Road?
[15:29] <marcoceppi> ChinnoDog: no, not yet
[18:39] <ChinnoDog> Crave has plenty of room, free wifi, and outlets. Frozen yogurt place for Ubuntu hour?
[18:41] <marcoceppi> ChinnoDog: sounds like a good idea to me
[18:49] <ChinnoDog> They aren't usually too busy during the day. I count 8 tables in here.
[19:06] <ChinnoDog> What day/time? I want to say Sunday so we don't compete with Sat Ubuntu hour but idk if anyone will want to come out on a Sunday.
