Hello all.
:D
Anyone know what happened to Stefano's Lense [sic] ?
no, just connected
none else is here :S
@joshuaRobison Why don't you use a cd? or is it too outdated for you to even remember? ;)
21:19
question, what are the language restrictions for Ask Ubuntu?
spoken language*
@Iszi greetz
@EvilPhoenix Hiyo.
@EvilPhoenix I'm not sure there are any explicit restrictions, but most SE sites tend to be English-only unless the site itself is about a different language.
so...
this could be flaggable?

Q: installation bricht ab, verlangt nach einem upgrade für bios

igor safranskiwenn ich versuche ubuntu 10.10 zu installieren, wird bei der installation nach einem upgrade verlangt (den genauen error kann ich noch nachtragen), wo kriege ich das upgrade her.

Had I the rep, I'd vote to close instead of flag.
:P
i dont have close rep
^we had that discussion above. I offered translation or close.
21:29
i flag for mods at that point
@Takkat scrollbacks are fubar'd on here, so i just flagged it for moderator attention
but translation would be good
yeah would if the Q wasn't somehow harware-related.
@Takkat Based on the comments, it sounds like he may be having similar problems to what I see in VirtualBox.
flagged it anyways
It's not a show-stopper, but really looks like one up-front. I re-started the install several times before finally allowing it to just work itself through.
@Iszi I agree, maybe a minor thing but fact is he can't install, and did not respond to htorques comment - too bad
21:33
Guess I'll post my question separately sometime. Would it be AskUbuntu material, or SU?
(Error about upgrading BIOS, when loading Ubuntu in VirtualBox.)
@Iszi I get issues about that in VBox for ANY linux distro :/
@EvilPhoenix Can't say I've tried another distro recently to know.
@Iszi if you asked that on SU it may get moved to AU :P
@Takkat So, here, then?
@Iszi they send you to SU perhaps. No, I'm joking. IMO there are no bad questions. Just closed or answered or both.
In fact if anywhere it's here that some people may have an idea
21:40
@Takkat Yeah, I'd expect better SNR here for that question, than on SU.
21:56
@Iszi is this the error you were talking?
SMBus base address uninitialized - upgrade BIOS or use force_addr=0xaddr
@Takkat Sounds right
@Iszi you want an answer?
is easy :)
@Takkat Why don't I like the look of that smiley on your face?
We don't have SMBus in a virtual machine (no sensors ventilators and so on)
So Ubuntu tries to load the kernel mod for this but can't
Oh
22:03
Solution would be to blacklist these kernel modules.
But that's too much hassel IMO
@Iszi I usually am friendly.
Maybe I'll keep in mind to exclude such things if/when I ever get around to building LFS.
got to go (sleep) cu
22:45
Oh, here's a good one I thought up:

Q: Will two Internet connections be utilized by default?

George EdisonIf I have two connections to the Internet (one via eth0 and the other via wlan0), will both be utilized by default? ...or do I have to make some adjustments in order to have applications take advantage of both connections?

gag
This class is boring, so i'm coding in the back :P
23:04
@lazyPower That sounds like what I do in my classes. :P
haha. It would be better if ITT Tech would have let me test out of this class. I'm a second semester student, carrying a 4.0 (toots my own horn) and the class i'm sitting in is a freshman class on "how to study" and "how to use microsoft office"
things that I really didn't want to waste money on, however its a required class from corporate so i'm had.
Ouch. >.<
Hence why I'll never go to college - I'll just be an intern for life. (Or something like that. And i'm somewhat serious)
23:21
@JamesGifford i'm a business owner, a 9 to 5'er at a .net shop, and a full time student.. how they figure I dont know how to study or use MS/Open Office effectively.. i'll never know.
MS is just sad...
What are u coding?
@lazyPower They have to teach everyone the same stuff, because some people don't know how to use Office/OO.rg
@Alvar - Working on the scholarship portal for my 9-5. I'd like to see it launch by the first.
@JamesGifford i understand that, but theres no option to test out of the class. Its a cash cow for them, a required thousand dollars that you have to spend.
its all administrative/political clout.
@Alvar and to be specific, i'm trying to roll FFMpeg into this asp.net application to convert uploaded video's to .flv and extract a frame for a thumbnail, a-la-youtube style.
I love sweden! Free schools
.flv is a bit outdated..
Sounds like u can do some big misstakes that could be a big bug someday... I'm learning java..
rolf - my advertisement is so shabby :P
23:35
Have you looked at youtube:s source code for the site? Theay are using html 5
Man! I can't sleep it's 01:35 in the morning.. GAH!
@lazyPower They just want the money.
@Alvar i'm just converting the video to a streamable format on the back end, i already have a HTML5/Flash video player frontend.
I really wish the OAuth process for youtube wasnt such a pita, I would have piggybacked off of their data API and just utilized their system. However, i was unable to figure it out in a timely fashion so I'm back to rolling my own solution.
