00:02.13 | mheath | Well, that was annoying |
00:02.21 | mheath | THe partitioner crashed, taking my NTFS partition with it |
00:02.33 | mheath | And the LiveCD doesn't have fsck.ntfs on it. |
00:03.23 | mheath | It's discouraging to have to reboot into Windows to unbreak my computer. |
00:16.49 | mheath | And now it's frozen again. |
00:21.00 | mheath | well, maybe not. ntfsresize is doing something, but doesn't report progess to the progress window |
00:57.05 | mheath | So this is scary |
00:57.13 | mheath | It's been working for about an hour now. |
00:57.17 | mheath | What's it doing? |
01:02.11 | mheath | Finally done. Took 1 hour. |
01:46.02 | mheath | This has been a nightmare. |
01:46.20 | mheath | I really can't believe I'm having this experience with a LTS release of Ubuntu thats weeks away from release. |
01:46.43 | mheath | It nearly killed my hard drive, twice, during the install. |
01:46.50 | mheath | The LiveCD system froze up several times, too. |
01:47.06 | mheath | Updating after the install finished has been broken |
01:47.22 | mheath | a simple apt-get upgrade has spewed out error after error while trying to configure packages. |
01:47.42 | mheath | And I had to run 'apt-get upgrade' because the GUI Update manager is broken |
01:48.02 | Heartsbane | my only complaints have been with compiz.real |
01:48.09 | Heartsbane | other than that |
01:48.25 | mheath | this has seriously been the most nightmarish process I've ever had with any Linux distro. |
01:48.35 | mheath | It's just...problem after problem after problem. |
01:49.55 | Heartsbane | screams 'Get it together man, we can't let it be the end of the world' |
01:49.58 | Heartsbane | :) |
01:51.27 | mheath | heh. |
01:55.25 | mheath | Well, I rebooted after updating |
01:55.31 | mheath | That successfully killed my graphics |
01:55.38 | mheath | I'm stuck in 640x480 |
01:55.56 | mheath | and the screen resolution dailog is broken, so I can't get it up to anything higher. |

14:50.01 | tristanbob__ | mheath, I'm waiting for the final release so that I can avoid most issues |
14:50.55 | tristanbob__ | my experience with dual-booting and resizing windows partitions is that it takes a long time |
14:51.20 | tristanbob__ | I think it took 2 hours for my fathers PC - I was a little worried when it took that long, but it finally finished correctly |

14:53.38 | mheath | tristanbob__: Same here, but I've never had that issue before. |
14:53.47 | mheath | I resized a partition in Gutsy, and it took just a few minutes. |
14:54.21 | mheath | I'm kinda surprised by the rockyness of Hardy, given its so close to release |
14:54.33 | mheath | I thought it would be in more of a freeze - theres been over 30 package updates in the last 12 hours. |
14:55.20 | Zelut | they are all fixes. its still in a feature-freeze. |
14:55.36 | Zelut | we're bustin ass fixing all the bugs, which have to be applied via package updates. |
14:56.23 | mheath | Zelut: Still scared me....I got most of the wrinkles out, but I had a nightmarish process installing and updating it yesterday |
14:56.49 | mheath | I just said that because, while its still Beta, I would have expected it to be more complete/usable for a LTS thats just weeks from release |
14:57.04 | Zelut | we've still got three weeks. we're working on it. |
15:01.28 | mheath | True. |
15:01.29 | mheath | *shrug* |
15:01.33 | mheath | I'm liking it, though. |
15:01.51 | mheath | The new kernel scheduler + other fixes makes my system noticably more responsive |
15:05.00 | herlo | mheath: package updates aren't a bad thing this close to a release, what you don't want is new versions, only security and bug fixes :) |
15:06.23 | mheath | herlo: true, and thats what it was. |
15:08.27 | mheath | Hmm, I always forget - whats the packagename you need to install to be able to theme Compiz? |
15:08.57 | Yorokobi | emerald, perhaps? |

15:14.24 | herlo | Heartsbane: utos.org/ has an announcement as well |
15:15.30 | Heartsbane | cool |
15:16.21 | tristanbob_ | I wonder if it will be a trend that fedora and ubuntu release parties are combined |
15:16.33 | tristanbob_ | it would be good for fedora, and probably good overall for linux |
15:16.56 | mheath | grr, why is gnome-look.org so SLOW? |
15:17.02 | Heartsbane | as long as fedora keeps paying for it :) |
15:17.09 | Heartsbane | mheath: its a conspiracy |
15:17.20 | herlo | tristanbob_: it will be for Utah if I have anything to do with it :) |
15:18.30 | Heartsbane | anyone know where rhythmbox stores its info main the config files? |
15:18.30 | Heartsbane | off the top of your head |
15:22.03 | herlo | Heartsbane: nope |
15:24.22 | mheath | herlo: Yes, part of that distablize-ubuntu, slow-down-gnome-look conspiracy! |
15:25.04 | herlo | mheath: uh, okay |
15:25.29 | mheath | ;-) |
15:25.41 | mheath | oh, I see why you were confused |
15:25.49 | mheath | I meant to say that to Heartsbane. |
15:32.32 | sontek | Heartsbane: people don't use rythmbox, its just for appearance, install banshee or exaile! |

19:16.25 | Zelut | I'll keep an eye out for discounts but I'm not too worried as I'm registered as a presenter anyway.. |
19:18.47 | Zelut | synic: I had to go into Library Manager and manually remove the bad folder and then re-scan collection. |
19:33.19 | tapH20guru | Zelut: as a presenter what benefits do you get? travel? food? |
19:34.11 | Zelut | tapH20guru: I think travel is only covered for the keynotes. As far as I'm aware it is free-registration and the good 'ol respect of my peers :) |

19:38.42 | Zelut | http://en.oreilly.com/ubuntu2008/public/schedule/speaker/5711 |
19:39.14 | Zelut | just basically showing how simple it is to setup "enterprise" services with Ubuntu LTS. |
19:43.59 | tapH20guru | throw the "enterprise" word around and you're bound to get invited to speak at a con |
19:45.57 | Zelut | I tried to avoid it--its a dirty word around ubuntu. |
19:46.23 | Zelut | last year there were a lot of suites so I figured something like this'd make them happy and maybe get more commercial support for canonical. |
19:47.26 | Zelut | I guess kind of showing "look, we can do all the "enterprisey" stuff RHEL can do, and its way easier" |
19:49.29 | Yorokobi | suites or suits? |
19:49.32 | tapH20guru | true true |
19:49.46 | Zelut | suits, sorry :) |
19:50.34 | Zelut | although, sadly, a week into my trial of Landscape (Canonicals answer to the RHN) I'm not impressed at all. |
19:50.51 | Zelut | I've reported more bugs than I've got things done, and I'm only managing 4 machines. |
19:58.21 | herlo | Zelut: didn't you get approved to present at Ubuntu Live though? |
19:58.46 | Zelut | herlo: though? yeah, that's what we've been talking about. |

20:05.48 | herlo | haha, yeah, but were you a co-worker last year? |
20:05.54 | herlo | can't remember |

20:50.48 | encryptz | i like what randy munroe said at google: python is executable pseudocode. if so, then perl is executable line noise. |
20:51.59 | Yorokobi | The irony here is that perl uses natural language syntax where possible. English language syntax at that. |
20:53.32 | encryptz | $, {, }, @, ;, etc are hardly english |
20:54.06 | Zelut | maybe I've seen one too many perl one-liners |
