64 Studio 3.0 beta 3 Install and Setup

So I got a nice big hard drive for my laptop this week and am reinstalling XP and 64 Studio 3.0 beta 3 from scratch. I installed XP first and then 64 studio so GRUB would be my boot loader.
I booted from the install disc and installed normally with a partition for /, a partition for /home and 2 gig swap space. First thing I did when I got booted up was a 'sudo apt-get update' and I encountered a "partial upgrade" error. I remembered this was solved in the forum from the last time I installed. Steps to fix this beta 2/3 bug are at the post below.

I got an error I haven't gotten before:

Setting up acpid (1.0.4-5ubuntu9.3) ...
* Stopping Hardware abstraction layer hald [ OK ]
* Loading ACPI modules... [ OK ]
* Starting ACPI services... acpid: can't open /proc/acpi/event: No such file or directory
invoke-rc.d: initscript acpid, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing acpid (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

Which I am working on solving.

My next steps are to install some of my favorite apps and restore my home folder with my audio project files. I will also be building Ardour 2.8 from source with LV2 support and ardour-x-change support to import AAF files from Pro Tools. More later. :)

Chosen Robot goes Underground

So we had a great time playing a show at the Club Underground last Saturday night. Thank to Mike in the Goodbars for settin up the show and to jambijoe for the video recording!

The Summer Solstice has arrived!

So the summer solstice was yesterday and thus the Earth returns around its other half of the roation towards Minnesota being a winter wonderland of salt and sand. I don't mind the cold, but it really puts a damper on the bikability of the roads and paths.
Chosen Robot played a show at the Terminal bar two thursdays ago and it was a good time. We didn't pack the bar, probaly because it was a thursday night, but we rocked with two other great bands, The Hunger Bone and Skittish. I am working on a song for the Dwelling of Duels competition over at vgmix.com for the first time. I am having great fun rearranging the song and making it my own style and it is great practice in recording and production for my future pursuits.
It should be an exciting summer with Eric's wedding, 10k lakes festival(woot), and the renaisance and irish fairs towards the end. 10k lakes is going to be a blast and I can't wait.
As far as my video game pursuits go, I have been playing Super Paper Mario on the Wii which is a fun and funky lil game. I have also been playing Eve online which at first is very overwhelming but is beginning to get very intellectually challenging and fun. I can't wait to see my game progress in that.
Thats all for now, catch you on the flip side.
