[03:40] <drupin> I am not able to load the newly installed OS on a flash drive wit two ext3 partitions one for os and other casper-rw. is there any way i can fix what is broken in the OS ... The message i get is no operating system found... first time it was loaded and grub menu came and it took forever so i came in recovery mode and did the update after that its not reading the OS..
[04:31] <holstein> drupin: what?
[04:32] <drupin> No operating system found on boot from flash drive
[04:32] <holstein> whats on the flash drive? is it a good drive?
[04:33] <drupin> this is second time i am install the OS in it
[04:33] <drupin> ext3
[04:33] <holstein> why ext3?
[04:33] <drupin> i can see the system files in it
[04:33] <holstein> how did you do the install? maybe you didnt get it right
[04:34] <drupin> i partitioned the flash in two
[04:34] <drupin> one for OS and other with label casper-rw
[04:34] <holstein> sure, but that requires a custom installer scenario
[04:34] <holstein> maybe you did that incorretly
[04:35] <drupin> and then i installed from th installer
[04:35] <holstein> i would probably just try reinstalling, since that takes so little time, and just go with the defaults
[04:35] <drupin> to the /
[04:36] <drupin> i can see all the OS files in it
[04:36] <drupin> gess it the grub issue
[04:36] <holstein> drupin: cool.. then restore grub, and reboot and enjoy
[04:36] <drupin> how can i restore
[04:36] <holstein> otherwise, you might want to entertain why the grub install could have failed during installation
[04:37] <holstein> could be a bad stick
[04:37] <drupin> sudo update-grub /dev/sdc1
[04:37] <drupin> /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?)
[04:37] <holstein> i would literally not waste anymore time on it since its a fresh install with no data
[04:37] <holstein> since installs are like 15 minutes now.. or less
[04:37] <holstein> when i want to restore grub, i reference
[04:37] <holstein> !grub | drupin
[04:38] <holstein> the bit about recovering from a live CD
[04:38] <drupin> it takes ok
[04:38] <holstein> it takes ok?
[04:42] <drupin> let me try boot repair
[04:42] <holstein> drupin: its more envolved than just running sudo update-grub
[04:42] <holstein> or it was when i recovered grub
[04:43] <drupin> there is mounting and all
[04:45] <drupin> i flagged boot in gparted before install
[04:45] <drupin> may be it screwed the default parameters
[04:45] <holstein> drupin: i would just let the defaults go by once, and get a booting system
[04:46] <drupin> the dafault waste the 4 GB
[04:46] <holstein> drupin: it just might bootup thought, and you can customize after that
[04:47] <drupin> but what about casper-rw
[04:47] <holstein> drupin: i wouldnt expect ubuntustudio to fit on 4gb's.. i would start with xubuntu or lubuntu and add what is needed
[04:47] <holstein> drupin: im not sure what you are doint casper-rw
[04:47] <drupin> the flash is 8 GB
[04:49] <drupin> xubuntu lubuntu are they minimalist install?
[04:49] <holstein> drupin: not really... but i wouldnt expect ubuntustudio to fit in 4gb's
[04:49] <holstein> i made it fit back in ubuntustudio 9.10, but i stripped a lot out
[04:49] <drupin> installer told me it needs min 3.7 GB..
[04:50] <drupin> but then it installed in the 4 GB
[04:50] <holstein> drupin: i would just install the OS to the stick
[04:50] <drupin> just one partition
[04:50] <drupin> no two partition
[04:51] <holstein> i wouldnt have casper.. or persistence..i would just take a USB stick, plug it inthe sie of the box and install to it
[04:51] <holstein> drupin: i would go with the defaults.. probably just one big one and a swap and all that
[04:51] <drupin> swap was freeing my OS before
[04:51] <holstein> drupin: if i didnt want the swap, id wipe it out, but id get a stick booting... and it would be booting 15 minutes from now
[04:51] <drupin> so i had removed that
[04:52] <drupin> ok
[04:52] <drupin> let me try once
[04:52] <holstein> and i'd go from there, with a booting persitent USB stick
[04:52] <holstein> i rarely use swap anyways
[05:06] <drupin> ok brb i did boot repair
[05:06] <drupin> let me see if it did magic
[05:06] <drupin> it thoug told me the space on the drive is less
[09:18] <Presonus_Probs> Hey roomies :)
[11:23] <sticky1> Hello. Xubuntu 12.04 here, unable to use XMIDI1x1 USB-MIDI adapter in MIDI program ran under WINE. aconnect fails to run properly even though it is already installed. Any help?
[12:15] <ailo> sticky1: are you sure all ports are available?
[12:16] <ailo> How does aconnect fail?
[12:16] <sticky1> which ones?
[12:16] <sticky1> let me make a paste for you
[12:16] <ailo> The alsa midi ports you are attempting to connect to each other
[13:34] <kroniksenvy> How come ubuntustdio does not support multiple monitors
[13:35] <holstein> kroniksenvy: ubuntustudio is ubuntu
[13:35] <holstein> ubuntu and ubuntustudio both support mulitiple monitors
[13:35] <kroniksenvy> I should correct my self it does not allow me to extend my desktop it just gives me dual desktop on both monitors
[13:35] <holstein> ubuntustudio is quite a bit like xubuntu, so i would search for how to configure dual monitors in XFCE or xubuntu
[13:36] <smartboyhw> kroniksenvy, I think it is best to ask in #xubuntu since that this is also a Xubuntu thing;)
[13:36] <smartboyhw> Hi holstein!
[13:36] <holstein> i use arandr, which AFAIK, is the main too now in xubuntu
[13:36] <holstein> kroniksenvy: try arandr and if that doesnt give what you are looking for, let us know
[13:38] <len-dt> kroniksenvy, you need to use both arandr and the the display setting to make it work from boot to boot
[13:38] <holstein> len-dt: do we or xubuntu have a doc on that?..  i didnt set it up persistently yet
[13:38] <len-dt> arandr (or xrandr) to set it up and the display settings to save it
[13:39] <kroniksenvy> ye i got it working now
[13:39] <kroniksenvy> arandr
[13:39] <kroniksenvy> did it
[13:39] <smartboyhw> :)
[13:39] <kroniksenvy> now i just need to remove this bottom popup bar
[13:39] <len-dt> Ya, but when you reboot it will disapear and you will need to reset it.
[13:39] <kroniksenvy> oke
[13:40] <holstein> kroniksenvy: panel.. you can remove that panel
[13:40] <len-dt> if you go into the display settings and make any change... mirror the monitor where the settings window isn;t and then back again it will save the setting for next login
[13:40] <kroniksenvy> bare with me i just started with linux yesterday i bought a new notebook and ubuntu studio seemed right for my work : )
[13:41] <smartboyhw> Oh why you need Ubuntu Studio then kroniksenvy if you just started with Linux?
[13:42] <len-dt> kroniksenvy, the thing to remember is that the displays need to be plugged in and powered before booting or X will reconfigure to single and and resave that.
[13:42] <kroniksenvy> smartboyhw: i was looking around distribuions basically i wrote top distros and # was ubuntu and underneed were distrost that came from ubuntu
[13:42] <kroniksenvy> i picked studio because it seemed setup for graphic design
[13:42] <kroniksenvy> len-dt: thanks will note that
[13:43] <smartboyhw> kroniksenvy, oh you want graphic design:) That's good:)
[13:45] <len-dt> kroniksenvy, we would be happy to hear your comments on how Studio works for you and how we could improve it.
[13:46] <len-dt> ... maybe after you  have tried it a while...
[13:46] <kroniksenvy> will do
[13:46] <smartboyhw> :)
[13:48] <kroniksenvy> So far i'm pretty happy with speed & response, i like the clean UI and configuration was pretty strait forward and i'm even happer now that all 3 screens are runing : )
[13:48] <smartboyhw> Good:)
[13:48] <kroniksenvy> but ill give feedback as i use it during few projects
[13:49] <smartboyhw> kroniksenvy, please do:)
[14:58] <kroniksenvy> does anyone here work with ruby on rails ?
[15:00] <smartboyhw> wiickeed, who?
[15:00] <wiickeed> huh ?
[15:02] <smartboyhw> Ruby on rails. what IS that?
[15:24] <ailo> wiickeed: I use it for a redmine install
[15:24] <ailo> But, seems like more of a web server related Q
[21:13] <drupin> how can i remove a non working icon from the left top start menu in settings
[21:13] <drupin> holstein: i did it and finally fresh in the thumb drive
[21:15] <len-dt> drupin, which one isn't working?
[21:16] <drupin> i tried to install the java 7 via some non working PPA
[21:16] <drupin> later found its not supported
[21:16] <drupin> all files i removed
[21:16] <drupin> only this two icons are there
[21:17] <drupin> in settings
[21:26] <drupin> len-dt:
[23:29] <holstein> drupin: i would purge whatever you installed from that ppa, and purge the ppa
[23:29] <holstein> !java
[23:29] <holstein> i would refer to that
[23:30] <drupin> ya i got from there
[23:30] <holstein> AFAIK, alacarte will work for editing the menu in XFCE
[23:30] <drupin> but the putge is done
[23:30] <drupin> purge*
[23:30] <drupin> but still the two java icons there
[23:31] <holstein> drupin: just get rid of one
[23:31] <drupin> where i find them but?
[23:31] <holstein> drupin: AFAIK, alacart works to edit the menu
[23:32] <drupin> install alacart?
[23:32] <holstein> drupin: i would research what it is.. see if you think it will work for you, and choose if you 'd like to install it
[23:32] <holstein> http://wiki.xfce.org/howto/customize-menu
[23:32] <drupin> ok holstein
[23:51] <len-dt> drupin, sorry I vanished...
[23:52] <drupin> its fine len-dt ..
[23:52] <len-dt> There is probably a *.desktop file floating around.
[23:52] <drupin> i also took break and was installing something else
[23:52] <drupin> yes
[23:52] <len-dt> They normally reside in /usr/share/applications/
[23:53] <len-dt> If you use thunar or nautilus to look for it, you should be able to see which one it is by the icon.
[23:56] <len-dt> The name with it will not be the file name. I don't know if you can delete it or not though... I guess if you run nautilus with pkexec or gksudo
[23:59] <len-dt> alacarte will work fine too. But will only fix the one user, any new user would still have the problem menu item.

[02:32] <zul> hey
[04:47] <janimo> now the ubuntu kernel is in git there will no longer be debian/patches ?
[04:47] <janimo> and no more debian dir in bazaar?
[04:48] <fabbione> janimo: there is and will be debian/
[04:48] <fabbione> no debian/patches
[04:48] <janimo> does ubuntu kernel packaging change a lot?
[04:48] <fabbione> everything is in the kernel itself
[04:48] <fabbione> not really
[04:48] <janimo> so is debian/ going to be in bazaar?
[04:49] <fabbione> no
[04:49] <fabbione> in git
[04:49] <janimo> ok, that's what I asked above :) obviously there needs to be debian/
[04:49] <fabbione> bazaar is deprecated
[04:49] <fabbione> we will work in git from now on
[04:50] <janimo> so it's about the same deb building process but without the patching phase
[04:50] <fabbione> exactly
[04:50] <janimo> I already cloned the tree but wanted to know if there's anything else
[04:50] <fabbione> we will also kill some packages
[04:50] <fabbione> like linux-tree
[04:50] <fabbione> linux-patch
[04:51] <janimo> the more killed the merrier
[04:51] <janimo> is there going to be a main packge of 2.6.14 or does it directly go to universe?
[04:52] <janimo> and tilll 2.6.15 we stay with breezy kernel?
[04:52] <fabbione> it will land in universe first
[04:52] <fabbione> and switch to main as soon as it is stable
[04:52] <fabbione> stable for us..
[04:52] <janimo> aha
[04:52] <janimo> but goal is 2.6.15 bc of the input udev stuff?
[04:52] <fabbione> yes we will got for .15 in dapper
[04:53] <fabbione> s/got/go
[04:53] <janimo> do you know if the current u-kernel tree has the breezy patches?
[04:53] <fabbione> almost all of them, if not all
[04:54] <janimo> cool, thanks
[07:37] <zul> gday
[08:16] <fabbione> hey zul
[08:26] <zul> how is it going?
[08:28] <fabbione> sleepy
[08:30] <fabbione> you?
[08:30] <zul> same
[08:30] <zul> i went to bed at like 9:00 am on saturday
[08:31] <fabbione> ehhe no surprise
[08:31] <fabbione> saturday we went out
[08:31] <fabbione> went to sleep around 5
[08:31] <fabbione> iirc
[08:32] <zul> er...i mean 9 pm
[08:36] <zul> have you guys sample the more adult bars on st. catherine's yet?
[08:37] <fabbione> nope
[08:40] <zul> heh..i should have while i was there
[08:40] <zul> oh well
[09:38] <dilinger> hm
[09:39] <dilinger> what are these devmapper devices that show up in breezy's kernel?
[09:39] <dilinger>    3     1      48163 hda1
[09:39] <dilinger>  253     0      48163 dm-0
[09:39] <dilinger>    3     2     249007 hda2
[09:39] <dilinger>  253     1     249007 dm-1
[09:39] <dilinger> and so on
[09:39] <dilinger> vgchange -ay shows no VGs
[09:39] <dilinger> are those crytpo devices or something?
[09:39] <zul_> not sure
[09:58] <fabbione> dilinger: uh? never seen that stuff
[09:58] <fabbione> ah in /proc/partitions ?
[10:18] <dilinger> yea
[10:21] <zul_> bbl
