| <ajmitch> not the sort of job I'm likely to get at the moment :) | |
| <Plug> I love that Google have a job cart | |
| <Plug> "I'll checkout with these three, thankyou" | |
| <ajmitch> heh | |

| <dudanogueira> here im close to sleep | |
| <dudanogueira> here is 22:56 PM :P | |
| <Uber-nerd> anyone from chch on? | |
| <Plug> probably not, from a quick look around | |
| <ajmitch> I doubt it | |
| <Uber-nerd> well, that sucks :( ... anyway, there was a computing society bbq last night. i wore my ubuntu t-shirt and one of the recruitment guys noticed and gave me a business card | |
| <Uber-nerd> :D | |
| <ajmitch> interesting | |
| <Plug> cool | |
| <Plug> I don't have an Ubuntu t-shirt | |
| <Plug> I could steal one i guess ;) | |
| <ajmitch> where'd you pick up an ubuntu shirt from? | |
| <Plug> I have been sent three + some stickers & flyers for the 'art competition prize' | |
| <Plug> which we should repurpose | |
| <Uber-nerd> www.ubuntu.com - they have a link to the shop (cafepress)... it wasn't too expensive and the shipping time was great :) | |
| <ajmitch> ah right | |
| <ajmitch> Plug: I'll take one ;) | |
| <Uber-nerd> ok... anyone know anything about kdevelop3? | |
| <Plug> it has an unimaginative name | |
| <Uber-nerd> errr... regarding installing it etc? | |
| <ajmitch> just install the package? | |
| <ajmitch> its in universe | |
| <Uber-nerd> ... probably. i'm running ubuntu 6.06 - the guy at the bbq said he could get me a kubuntu disk... but i can get kdevelop with ubuntu, it'll just take ages to get the dependencies... am i right? | |
| <ajmitch> yes, all the packages are shared in the repositories | |
| * ajmitch wonders why the nz herald site is so broken today | |
| <Uber-nerd> ahhh, i was wondering why it wouldn't load :( | |
| <jmiller565> G'day | |
| <ajmitch> hi | |
| <Uber-nerd> hi | |
| <jmiller565> everyone from good ol' NZ here? | |
| <ajmitch> more or less | |
| <jmiller565> sweet!!! | |
| <Uber-nerd> yep, i'm in chch =) | |

| * karora is from Rotorua, living in Porirua... | |
| <Uber-nerd> lucky me, i went to the computing society bbq at the ilam gardens yesterday :D | |
| <jmiller565> I live in Christchurch, in Avonhead | |
| <jmiller565> nice Uber-nerd | |
| <Uber-nerd> holyshit! so do i | |
| <Uber-nerd> withells road | |
| <jmiller565> Beatrice Place | |
| <Uber-nerd> hahaha... i'll look that up :D | |
| <ajmitch> small world, who would have guessed | |
| * ajmitch is in dunedin, for now | |
| <jmiller565> off avonhead rd. Woah this is freaky LOL | |
| <Uber-nerd> lol, i'll have to come over and say hi some time | |
| <jmiller565> maybe lol | |
| <Uber-nerd> i'm a linux noob | |
| <jmiller565> I've just been using Ubuntu for 5 months now. It's great stuff.BTW I'm probably the only 15 year old in NZ that uses Linux LOL | |
| <Plug> jmiller565: not by any stretch | |
| <Uber-nerd> not quite, i'm 16 :D | |
| <jmiller565> sweet OMG SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!! | |
| <Uber-nerd> i used to go to riccarton high | |
| * ajmitch knows 15-year-olds (and younger) that are ubuntu developers | |
| <Uber-nerd> going on an i.t. course now though | |
| <jmiller565> where do you go now? | |
| <Uber-nerd> electec... in sydnam | |
| <jmiller565> oh ok lol i go to Burnside High | |
| * ajmitch feels like an old fart | |
| <Uber-nerd> into all the anti-telecom and anti-microsoft stuff? | |
| <Plug> Uber-nerd: please don't be too anti in here | |
| <Plug> we're all positive and hippy and stuf | |
| <ajmitch> all about the love | |
| <Plug> more about not perpetuating the stereotypes | |
| <jmiller565> I just don't like telecom's service right now, it's a bit shoddy. sadly i use telecom and I've asked my dad to change ISP but he won't | |
| <Uber-nerd> well i'm not really anti-ms or whatever, but yes i think they suck. and no i won't degrade this channels intelligence ;) | |
| <ajmitch> being anti-everything turns away so many people | |
| <Uber-nerd> yup, look at the trademe forums | |
| <jmiller565> isn't that like being emo? | |
| <Uber-nerd> um... no. | |
| <jmiller565> depression | |
| <jmiller565> that's it lol | |
| <jmiller565> so what kind of IT course are u doing Uber-nerd? | |
| <Uber-nerd> its the certificate in computer systems engineering, basic technician stuff. got a really thick book for it. it leads onto CompTIA A+ and A+networking. | |
| <jmiller565> that's pretty cool. | |
| <Uber-nerd> plus other internationally recognized stuff | |
| <jmiller565> Awesome!!! | |
| <Uber-nerd> BUT i won't go too deep, i can get a job without qualifications thanks to opensource | |
| <Plug> If you're good | |
| <Plug> you can't fake good | |
| <jmiller565> :-) | |
| <ajmitch> getting experience is also critical | |
| <Uber-nerd> there was a computing society bbq at the ilam gardens last night and i was wearing my ubuntu t-shirt, some recruitment guy noticed and handed me his business card. he works for www.egressive.com | |
| <jmiller565> so anyway, what Ubuntu are you guys using? I'm using Kubuntu | |
| <Plug> Was he Dave Lane? | |
| <Uber-nerd> i'm using ubuntu dapper | |
| <Uber-nerd> yes he was dave lane | |
| * ajmitch uses feisty | |
| * Plug doesn't use Ubuntu as much as he should to maintain packages on it ;) | |
| <jmiller565> Kubuntu Edgy that's what i use | |
| <jmiller565> Nice Plug LOL | |
| <jmiller565> Is there any big differences between dapper and edgy? | |
| <ajmitch> a few, mostly newer software | |
| * ajmitch can't recall what new features there may have been, it's been awhile | |
| <jmiller565> true. I can't wait until Feisty comes out on the 19th of April, a day b4 my birthday LOL!!!! | |
| * ajmitch will finally be able to rest | |
| <jmiller565> lol must be hard work eh? | |
| <ajmitch> moderately | |
| <jmiller565> I hope I can do something like that when I get to grips with Ubuntu and learn some coding language :) | |
| <jmiller565> brb i'm going to check the other irc channels | |
| <ajmitch> only a few short weeks until feisty release, so much to do until then | |
| <Uber-nerd> hello? jmiller are you alive? i've got a map for you showing the distance between our houses from wises.co.nz... its scary! | |
| <jmiller565> yup i'm back | |
| <Uber-nerd> trying to send... is it working? | |
| <jmiller565> don't think so | |
| <Uber-nerd> look at the bottom right... it should have "freenode" "ubuntu-nz" and "uber-nerd" | |
| <Uber-nerd> maybe contact me via gaim? | |
| <Uber-nerd> uber-nerd845@hotmail.com - send through that | |
| <jmiller565> ok :) | |
| <ajmitch> liveliest it's been for awhile | |
| <ajmitch> wonderful, I can write in & get stickers | |
| <Plug> You can | |
| <Plug> I might even send you some for free cos you put in too much effort | |
| <ajmitch> heh | |
| <jack> hey peeps | |
| <jack> looking for a bit of help with lvm | |
| <jack> tried the #ubuntu channel but too much traffic... | |
| <Plug> LVM you say | |
| <jack> yeah | |
| <Plug> what's the question? | |
| <jack> I had a dapper install with root on lvm | |
| <jack> have upgraded to edgy via recommended method | |
| <jack> but not rebooted | |
| <Plug> Was there a separate /boot ? | |
| <jack> yeaj | |
| <jack> yea | |
| <jack> not lvm | |
| <Plug> cool - grub can't boot off LVM, and LILO's support is dodgy at best | |
| <jack> i remeber havng isseus with hoary-> dapoper | |
| <jack> as i understand it i have to get lvm in the initrd | |
| <jack> but not sure how to do that. | |
| <Plug> that wont be a problem | |
| <jack> it was all working with dapper | |
| <jack> but like is said i remeber issues after upgrade to dapper | |
| <Plug> yep, it continues to work with edgy | |
| <jack> ok so I shouldn't have to do anything manual? | |
| <Plug> nope. | |
| <jack> the upgrade will have made sure lvm is in initrd? | |
| <jack> how do I check? | |
| <Plug> You can mount it and look, its a cramfs or some such | |
| <Plug> is this a server? | |
| <jack> nope just desktop | |
| <Plug> I cant guarantee you the desktop kernel supports LVM, but I'm 98% sure it will | |
| <jack> probbaly not the best to have root on lvm I know but don't want to to complete reinstall | |
| <Plug> root on LVM is fine | |
| <jack> i ended up having to do a reinstall with dapper | |
| <jack> was able to pick up my existing lv's though | |
| <jack> so didn't end up loosing anything | |
| <jack> just didn't want to go through the pain again... | |
| <jack> well I guess i'll just reboot then and see if it works..? | |
| <jack> i can see scripts for initrd lvm under /usr/share/initramfs-tools but nothing is under /etc/initramfs/ | |
| <jack> i thought it grabbed the scripts from etc | |
| <Plug> hmmm | |
| <Plug> the initrd (or initramfs on edgy I believe) is generated when you install a kernel | |
| <Plug> check /etc/mkinit*.conf | |
| <Plug> it will have something like MODULES=all or MODULES=most | |
| <jack> modules most | |
| <Plug> try it .if all else fails you can reboot to your dapper kernel. | |
| <jack> so that will still work with everything else edgy | |
| <Plug> yep | |
| <jack> hmm I'll get me a livecd too just incase I have to do some fixing | |
| <jack> thanks for your help | |
| <Plug> np | |
| <jack> It worked Plug! |
