@Chan-HoSuh Tell me, I don't have a cell phone yet, and i am thinking of getting the the iPhone 6 before school starts, do you know anything about that?

Nile

@Chan-HoSuh Aw man. Know anyone that is?

coding_corgi

@Chan-HoSuh he is.. :P

@Nile SPELLING ERROR!!!

Chan-Ho Suh

iphone 6? haha, I don't know more than anyone else about that

I like the way they're going to make the entire case holographic though.

Q: Error: partition table requires a separate partition for boot loader code (EFI issue)

The Issue I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit, Mac alternate) on my 13" MacBook Pro (model 7,1. Mid-2010). The MacBook Pro is running OSX 10.8.3 and I'm trying to make it dual-bootable (i.e., so I can boot into Ubuntu or OSX). When booting from the live CD and selecting "Try Ubuntu," I ma...

Chan-Ho Suh

Nile

2:29 AM

@Chan-HoSuh and and and?

coding_corgi

@Chan-HoSuh What did you do?

@Nile ha ha, hilarious!

Chan-Ho Suh

the installer seems to insist on creating that bios partition or having you tell it one

the way I resolved it was just to tell it to install to the EFI partition on my OS X portion of my disk

I was worried for a while it would overwrite whatever was in the default EFI partition

Nile

@Chan-HoSuh would you mind writing up an answer so I can give it a try later/ (+150 bounty if it works)

coding_corgi

@Chan-HoSuh hmm.....

Nile

FYI - I'm trying to dual boot

Chan-Ho Suh

2:30 AM

but then I remembered that the OS X doesn't actually need anything in the EFI partition

coding_corgi

@Nile Whoah! @Lucio is a nice guy

Chan-Ho Suh

even if it is blank, OS X will boot

coding_corgi

@Chan-HoSuh That's what i love about apple... tear tear

Chan-Ho Suh

well, I'll try and remember to add a comment at least to your question... I'm about to head off to sleep

but I hope what I said will help you figure it out

Nile

@Chan-HoSuh Okay, thanks a lot.

coding_corgi

@Lucio it doesn't find the packages

@Nile Hi there! I don't understand your question/advice.

there must be some bug

cuz in System->Preferences->Keyboard it already is disabled

"dontzap" isn't installed, and it seems counter-intuitive to install it in oder to disable this shortcut

@Rinzwind I'm writing up a more general answer on what to look for right now.

0

A: How do I download?

Let me preface this with saying that this answer will be messy, will cause information overflow and will make you beg for Windows back. You are very unexperienced, which is in general a really bad situation when starting out with Linux. While Ubuntu tries to make things as simple as possible, som...

But this is ... There's a fundamental lack of experience on the asker. That's ... Really tough to boil down to something that is remotely easy to understand.

Rinzwind

1:04 PM

@FEichinger pleasedo not point user to xampp :X

FEichinger

@Rinzwind User asked for that. I'm simply answering what the user asked for.

Rinzwind

sudo apt-get install tasksel
tasksel
Is easier and ubuntu pre-configured

No @FEichinger that user does not know what he is asking ....

even experienced users should use our lamp :=)

FEichinger

@Rinzwind The user is somewhat familiar with xampp - that's a bonus it has over tasksel. I also tried to keep it as CLI-free as possible. Quite honestly, in this situation less new stuff is better.

That said, you can answer it yourself, or comment with an amendment to my answer.

Rinzwind

And for me the only way is the Ubuntu way.

Nope I refuse to answer that >:D

FEichinger

Then don't complain. :P

Rinzwind

1:08 PM

I have a concept ready but it became a rant very quickly so aint posting it

FEichinger

@Rinzwind Yeh, I decided half-way through to add that disclaimer at the start.

Rinzwind

>:)

I propose Ubuntu starts issueing certificates for its users.

If you can not find USC within 3 seconds in your launcher you fail and internet access is blocked

FEichinger

And the lack of gksu just made this even harder.

Rinzwind

pkexec >:)

@Rinzwind In all honesty, since I jumped ship for Ubuntu GNOME, I really didn't bother getting familiar with pkexec. Never needed it.

"No"

So my boss gets a call....

And he asks me " what happend?"

and I said "I told the to install crossloop so I can take over their pc and clear msie's cache"

and then he said " we aint going to do that. Let them figure that out themself. They can use google too"

We got the 3rd certification for our software.

(we had till aug 1st to get it certified and the examiners said we where the quickest :D )

Takkat

pah - certificates call for re-certificates. That's what they are all about.

Rinzwind

Not in this case ;-)

Unless we change our code drastically >:)

Takkat

nobody does. You better stop all support, release a better completely different version, and make them buy the same again (and again, and again).

Rinzwind

You're using jQuery, so that should be especially easy.
