[01:34] <Viper550> so, what ideas do we have for Lubuntu?
[02:19] <Viper550> I kinda had a "frost" idea
[04:54] <Viper550> hey
[16:23] <Viper550> morning
[16:50] <Viper550> I had some ideas for the Lubuntu look
[18:23] <Viper550> hello?
[20:24] <coz_> Viper550,  hey guy../.sorry  I am in the middle of icon editing :)
[20:35] <Viper550> I'm trying to inquire about GTK engines and low-end computers
[21:03] <Viper550> troy_s, can gtk engine choice effect system performance?
[21:07] <troy_s> Viper550: "System Performance" is relative. Yes, but no.
[21:08] <Viper550> troy_s, so a gtk engine with a cairo backend won't effect performance on say, the kind of computer we're targeting Lubuntu for?
[21:09] <Viper550> cause I'm working on a GTK theme for a mockup based off the Lucid desktop
[21:09] <troy_s> Viper550: I have no clue. Is there a baseline system? I doubt it. But I have no clue. And don't really care.
[21:09] <Viper550> *Ubuntu Lucid theme


[06:58] <reallyrose> Hi there
[06:58] <benonsoftware> Hiya reallyrose
[06:59] <reallyrose> I've just fired up my virtual ubuntu box. I'm looking at some documentation now to try and work out what, in fact, is going on. Is there anything  highly recommended for newbies to do?
[07:01] <benonsoftware> reallyrose: http://help.ubuntu.com/community is a good place to read
[07:01] <reallyrose> I'm there, on the 'switching from windows' bit.
[07:21] <reallyrose> Oki, from the link above, I typed 'lspci | grep Network' and nothing was returned. I assume this is because I am using a virtual box? Am I right?
[07:27] <geirha> try lspci | grep -i ethernet
[07:32] <reallyrose> That worked, geirha, thanks!
[07:33] <reallyrose> Could you explain that command please? I get the lspci | grep bit and I know what ethernet means. What does -i do?
[07:40] <geirha> well, run just   lspci
[07:41] <geirha> It prints many lines. Now say you're only interested in the ones containing the word Ethernet, then grep is the tool to use. lspci | grep Ethernet
[07:42] <geirha> the -i I used earlier means case-insensitive search, so that grep will ethernet and ETHERNET and EtherNet as valid matches
[07:43] <geirha> *grep will treat
[07:43] <reallyrose> ah, case-insensitive. :) Thanks! I'll add it to my list of things I'm learning!
[07:44] <reallyrose> Thank you for that!
[07:45] <geirha> when you see something like that, e.g. something | grep -i blah   and wonder what -i does for grep, run   man grep
[07:56] <reallyrose> Cool
[08:10] <reallyrose> Woo, I made a directory. This is fun!
[08:11] <philipballew> ubuntu working for you reallyrose ?
[08:16] <reallyrose> For all of my 30 minutes experience, yes.
[08:16] <reallyrose> I'm just going to spend today working through what I would normally do in windows, see how much I can do in linux
[09:20] <reallyrose> The 'find [keyword]' command. Does it search within the directory you are in or does it search the entire disc?
[09:22] <geirha> if you don't specify a path, it will start at . and work its way down from there
[09:23] <reallyrose> Thanks!
[09:23] <geirha> all directories have two special directories . and ..   . is the directory itself, and .. is the parent directory
[09:24] <geirha> reallyrose: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/UsingFind
[09:24] <geirha> That's a really good intro to using find, though unfortunately wooledge.org is slow at times
[09:24] <reallyrose> That's ok, I have time.
[09:25] <reallyrose> I installed something and it wouldn't open. So I figured I would see if it was actually present. But I couldn't find it.
[09:25] <reallyrose> Judging from that page, I was just using the command wrong.
[09:26] <geirha> you installed a package?
[09:26] <geirha> if so, you can run   dpkg -L packagename    to get a list of all files that package installed
[09:27] <geirha> should be faster than find
[09:27] <geirha> Here's a mirror of the link I showed earlier. Seems wooledge.org is down. http://bash.cumulonim.biz/UsingFind.html
[09:29] <reallyrose> I think I shall like this linux thing. :)
[09:31] <geirha> Also see the BashGuide at the same site. It's really the only good guide for learning bash
[09:32] <geirha> It doesn't teach you Ubuntu-specific stuff though, just stuff that will work on unix and unix-like systems in general.
[15:17] <yeehi> Can somebody help me configure a wireless connection please?
[15:20] <holstein> yeehi: i would plug in wired, and get firmware if needed.. otherwise, let us know the hardware you have
[15:21] <yeehi> plug in wired? I am not on a wired connection, I am on mobile broadband at the moment, and want to connect to a wireless connection - i am on a laptop
[15:21] <Alan__> when installing ubuntu alongside windows a line appears dividing the available disk space. I can adjust the space but it isn't clear what space  I am allocating - the left or right of the line
[15:21] <yeehi> what do i type in terminal to bring up my hardware?
[15:22] <Unit193> lspci -v if it's builtin.
[15:23] <yeehi> Lots of stuff to copy / paste - how do i do that?
[15:24] <Unit193> Well, you can check the one that says network, or pastebin.com
[15:26] <yeehi> http://pastebin.com/cgCx6qjC
[15:33] <Unit193> At line 184 you have your current network interface, but the wireless one isn't on there.  Is it a PCMCIA or USB card then?
[19:35] <yeehi> What should you do when gnash does not render a flash web page properly? It doesn't fully load and display the flash
[19:36] <Unit193> Best thing I could do is either recommend adobe-flashplugin, or just say !gnash as I don't use that. :/
[19:39] <yeehi> OK, thank you Unit193 - i don't want to use adobe-flashplugin as it is not free software
[19:39] <Unit193> I figured you had a reason.
[19:39] <Unit193> Gnash is still beta, and I'm sure you already know their site http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[19:40] <Unit193> #gnash may be of more help than I would be.
[19:41] <yeehi> I didn't know it was still in beta
[19:41] <yeehi> I think they have been working on it for a long time
[19:41] <yeehi> I wonder what will happen when Google takes over flash
[19:41] <yeehi> Adobe are giving it up to google
[19:42] <yeehi> oh, that is a good idea, Unit193!
[19:42] <yeehi> I will try #gnash!
[19:43] <Unit193> Some have high hopes in HTML5.
[19:46] <mysteriousdarren> do you?
[19:47] <yeehi> I don't know about html5


[02:36] <alyawn> I'm out for Dragon*Con.... catch you guys later!
[11:34] <wrst> oh cyberanger, question for you I would like to install the printing packages that are in a normal ubuntu desktop setup i did a little googlin' but not for sure how to find that
[11:48] <wrst> think i got it will check when i get home i think i needed lsb and all it pulls in
[14:08] <cyberanger> cups & gnome-cups
[14:08] <cyberanger> maybe that's actually gnome-cups-manager, come to think of it
[14:09] <cyberanger> I honestly just prefer cups & firefox http://localhost:631
[14:11] <cyberanger> wrst: cups gnome-cups-manager ^
[14:47] <wrst> cyberanger: my problem was on the back end
[14:48] <wrst> i have a weird printer hp p1006 and there is something in ubuntu that will reset the silly thing when i plug it in via usb after the power goes off
[14:48] <wrst> and i had it working when i had arch on my laptop also but i have cups of course and the gnome cups manager too, but i'm fond of the web interface also
[14:57] <wrst> and cyberanger found what i needed its a plugin that ubuntu automagically installs, but i have it on my debian box now which is even better and did i find this in ubuntu docs no found it in debian docs
[14:57] <wrst> just like i have to find everything in either debian or arch docs
[15:21] <wrst> wb Ubik
[15:22] <wrst> well welcome back Unit193
[15:22]  * wrst can never type correctly
[15:38] <Unit193> Odd, but danke.
[16:12] <cyberanger> heh

[16:17] <Unit193> Would give it  aguess that it's only viewable to those that are logged in.
[16:18] <cyberanger> hrm, shame
[16:19]  * cyberanger fixes that
[16:21] <cyberanger> ah, didn't grab the actual image, whoops
[16:22] <wrst> howdy cyberanger, Unit193

[16:24] <cyberanger> hey wrst
[16:24] <wrst> how true is that jpg cyberanger
[16:28] <Unit193> Heh, nice.
[16:33] <cyberanger> wrst: depends on ones luck from month to month, but it's too true for too many
[16:35] <cyberanger> this was intresting (sorry on the politics in it, but the point is valid despite the canidates) youtu.be/6yD43OrcjDI
[16:39] <cyberanger> crossroads generation puts some nice stuff out, but I dislike how they feel more like attack ads (I ignore it some knowing it's economic vs political, and honestly think if it was mccain, they'd be doing this too)
[16:52] <wrst> taking a look cyberanger
[16:54] <wrst> cyberanger: i'm certainly glad to not be looking for a job now
[16:58] <cyberanger> I'm glad I am now, by choice, unlike necessity a year ago
[17:19] <wrst> yes if by choice thats good
[17:25] <cyberanger> just wish I could sleep, so this day isn't longer than tuesday/wedensday
[17:25] <cyberanger> (24 hours, 8PM to 8PM)
[17:27] <wrst> i just don't have that trouble :)
[17:30] <cyberanger> well, nature of banks, post offices, auto repair shops, they aren't open from 10:30PM-7:30AM
[17:30] <cyberanger> so, yeah....
[17:34] <wrst> ha ha good point
[17:37] <cyberanger> spent most of wedensday dealing with tire issues (including buying two new tires, an oil change, and two patches for three holes in a 3rd tire)
[17:37] <cyberanger> screwing around with a bad jack, a stubborn spair
[17:38] <wrst> i really don't like tire problems
[19:30]  * Unit193 sticks this here for wrst http://linux.slashdot.org/story/12/08/30/175221/gnomebuntu-set-to-arrive-in-october
[19:32] <wrst> Unit193: [14:50:45] <wrst> xTEMPLARx: http://worldofgnome.org/gnomebuntu-is-set-to-arrive-in-october-18/
[19:32] <wrst> ha ha :)
[19:32] <wrst> Unit193: i'm curious to see what that is about looks like its going to be bare bones gnome and that will fit me well
[20:44] <netritious> howdy locotn
[20:44] <netritious> TGIF
[20:44] <wrst> hey hey netritious
[20:44] <wrst> and 3 DAY WEEKEND!!! woot
[20:44] <netritious> +1
[20:44] <wrst> netritious: all well?
[20:45] <netritious> all is well. yourself wrst?
[20:45] <wrst> yep got a few minutes left here and i'm gone
[20:45] <netritious> woohoo :)
[20:45] <netritious> should have been...
[20:45] <netritious> *WOOHOO!!!
[20:46]  * netritious is a little tired atm
[20:47] <netritious> wrst: do you run dansguardian?
[20:48] <wrst> no netritious i tried it once but had no luck
[20:49] <wrst> i know the old ubuntu chrisitan edition had a gui for it but that guy that did that distro was a jerk leg
[20:49] <wrst> he had some copyrighted artwork etc and didnt' seem to care so i never really persued that
[20:50] <wrst> but short answer no, long answer i tried once and it kicked my butt
[21:49] <netritious> wrst: it's not to bad, just the docs on it are not centralized.
[21:49] <netritious> and setting up multiple filter groups only works in "server mode" not "running as a local proxy mode"
[21:50] <netritious> it can be made to, but I'm already taxing this old p4 heh
[21:51] <netritious> using filter groups is the only way to acheive that fine grain control you need for a family where everyone uses the same computer
[21:52] <netritious> it works, just thinking now it might be a tad bit of overkill if it can't authenticate against a local user on the local system it runs on :/
[21:57] <wrst> netritious: one word opendns ;)
[21:58] <Unit193> wrst: New tech lead, stlsaint. ;)
[22:00] <wrst> Unit193: yes and that's good that other dude was wonky to say the least
[22:00] <Unit193> I have a link, if you wanted it.  (Not sure if RC, alpha, or what.)
[22:01] <wrst> i realize this isn't the place for religion but... that last guy to be suppsoedly releasing a christian OS didn't act the part too well with how flippant he was towards things like copyrights
[22:01] <wrst> really hacked me off
[22:02] <Unit193> Copyright does tick people off too. :P
[22:02] <Unit193> (Statement, not excuse)
[22:03] <wrst> Unit193: true but


[13:07] <sil2100> seb128: ping! :)
[13:14] <seb128> sil2100, hey
[13:20] <sil2100> seb128: did you find a moment to look at those precise distro branches for nux and unity?
[13:20] <sil2100> seb128: for the geis rename
[13:20] <seb128> sil2100, no
[13:20] <seb128> sil2100, but didrocks is back so maybe he can help :p
[13:20] <sil2100> didrocks: boing
[13:20] <seb128> sil2100, to be fair I couldn't care less about renaming stuff that are working in stable series atm
[13:20] <sil2100> Well, it's a bit more tricky
[13:21] <seb128> sil2100, still trying to deal with beta1 work and stuff that aren't working
[13:21] <didrocks> sil2100: won't be today anyway, still catching up on emails
[13:21] <didrocks> and agreed with seb128, I think you have any gsettings transition regression to polish before we get to that :)
[13:21] <sil2100> didrocks: working on that as well ;)
[19:08] <tedg> mhall119, Is there a guide somewhere on making a new account type for UOA?
[19:13] <mhall119> tedg: not that I know of, kenvandine might know though
[19:51] <kenvandine> tedg, not really
[19:51] <kenvandine> best to ask in #accounts-sso
[19:51] <kenvandine> but not until tomorrow
[19:51] <kenvandine> late for those guys now
[19:51] <tedg> But, I wanna know now!  :-)
[19:51] <tedg> Okay, I'll see about it tomorrow.
[19:51] <tedg> Thanks kenvandine
[19:55] <kenvandine> np
[21:00] <sil2100> MCR1: ok, I think I found a fix
[21:00] <sil2100> https://code.launchpad.net/~sil2100/compiz/fix-pkgconfig/+merge/122946
[21:01] <MCR1> sil2100: YEAH \o/
[21:01] <sil2100> See you tomorrow!


[01:41] <davkbod-ld__> Greetings..the discussion continues.. I'm seeming to have issues with zoneminder, doesn't want to allow me to install anything..got some log clips.
[01:45] <davkbod-ld__> I'm trying to resolve a display issue of file windows with black on black, which is making it hard to see.
[01:45] <davkbod-ld__> but if I can't install any packages...
[02:20] <davkbod-ld__> bbs
[04:39] <jedismasher> i was wondering if there was any mp3 encoding software that i could use to broadcast to my icecast server
[08:03] <fahmyboy> Hi
[08:03] <fahmyboy> is anyone home?
[08:03] <mysteriousdarren> yes
[08:04] <fahmyboy> I have Linux 12.04 installed
[08:04] <fahmyboy> and all my drivers working
[08:04] <fahmyboy> and I would like to the next step
[08:04] <fahmyboy> regarding apps and customization, etc
[08:05] <mysteriousdarren> fahmyboy: what are you looking to do?
[08:05] <zmalex> hi. I have a problem repairing my jetty installation. apt-get remove says it's not installed while apt-get install says it is.
[08:05] <zmalex> Anyway for me to reset it?
[08:06] <fahmyboy> first thing first, I would like to customize the look and feel and then get used to the linux command line
[08:07] <mysteriousdarren> fahmyboy: do you like the environment? and how that looks? speed? are you using unity?
[08:07] <fahmyboy> and then I would like to start learning how to do my most common use cases using Linux.  for example, sync my ipod
[08:07] <fahmyboy> I like it so far.  I dont mind unity at all. Reminds me of the mac
[08:07] <fahmyboy> I like the heads up display
[08:07] <fahmyboy> reminds me of google search for menu items
[08:08] <fahmyboy> speed is also good.
[08:09] <mysteriousdarren> fahmyboy: change icons? colors? is that what your looking for?
[08:09] <bioterror> zmalex, did you install it by using apt-get? or did you use dpkg?
[08:11] <bioterror> zmalex, you can always use dpkg -P package
[08:11] <fahmyboy> not just that, widgets that provide system information, etc
[08:21] <zmalex> bioterror: I used apt-get to install it. But I messed up by removing in manually and now I'm stuck between apt-get install saying it is installed and apt-get remove saying it
[08:22] <zmalex> it's not there.
[08:22] <bioterror> removing it manually?
[08:22] <bioterror> explain more
[08:22] <bioterror> what did you do
[08:22] <bioterror> you went to rm -rf files?
[08:23] <fahmyboy> my Darren.  Those all seems far more important than look and feel
[08:23] <fahmyboy> I will install those applications first
[08:23] <fahmyboy> I currently dont have a firewall or an antivirus
[08:24] <fahmyboy> Should I install all those from command line or through the Software Centre?
[08:25] <mysteriousdarren> fahmyboy: how are you most comfortable? gui for most people is easier
[08:25] <zmalex> bioterror: Yup :)
[08:25] <zmalex> So the package manager is now pretty confused
[08:25] <bioterror> zmalex, force reinstall it
[08:26] <zmalex> bioterror: I tried apt-get install --reinstall jetty
[08:26] <zmalex> bioterror: How do I go about forcing it?
[08:27] <bioterror> sudoa apt-get install --force-yes jetty
[08:27] <bioterror> could that do it
[08:27] <bioterror> -a
[08:27] <zmalex> -a?
[08:27] <zmalex> oh
[08:27] <zmalex> got it
[08:27] <fahmyboy> I would like to get more comfortable with the command line as it seems most internet help results in a sudo command
[08:27] <fahmyboy> and I would like to start understanding what those mean
[08:28] <mysteriousdarren> sudo apt-get something usually you can learn that later.
[08:28] <zmalex> bioterror: Reading package lists... Done
[08:28] <zmalex> Building dependency tree
[08:28] <zmalex> Reading state information... Done
[08:28] <zmalex> jetty is already the newest version.

[08:28] <zmalex> 1 not fully installed or removed.
[08:28] <zmalex> After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used.
[08:28] <zmalex> Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y
[08:28] <zmalex> Setting up jetty (6.1.24-6ubuntu<IP_ADDRESS>) ...

[08:28] <zmalex> Errors were encountered while processing:
[08:28] <mysteriousdarren> go in the software center this time.
[08:29] <zmalex> sorry about the dump
[08:31] <bioterror> zmalex, now you can slap yourself on your both cheecks :D
[08:31] <zmalex> done
[08:31] <bioterror> one for removing files with rm -rf and one for flooding ;)
[08:32] <bioterror> zmalex, you probably have that file under /var/cache/apt/archives/
[08:32] <fahmyboy> mysteriousdarren: thank you for all your help btw
[08:32] <fahmyboy> which firewall do you install?
[08:33] <zmalex> bioterror: what does that mean? What can I do with it?
[08:33] <bioterror> zmalex, go to that location and locate the jetty
[08:34] <mysteriousdarren> fahmyboy: I would recommend firestarter for you
[08:34] <zmalex> bioterror: Found it
[08:35] <bioterror> zmalex, dpkg -i --force-all jetty-something.deb
[08:35] <fahmyboy> ok, installing
[08:37] <zmalex1> bioterror: Sorry. Managed to quit irc
[08:37] <mysteriousdarren> fahmyboy: there are many different themes to try out, and docks instead of panels
[08:37] <bioterror> Thu11:35 <bioterror> zmalex, dpkg -i --force-all jetty-something.deb
[08:37] <zmalex1> thanks
[08:38] <fahmyboy> are these instead or in addition to Unity?
[08:39] <zmalex1> bioterror: Ok. It seemed to do something. But the folder structure doesn't look right. Any other steps?
[08:40] <bioterror> what?
[08:40] <zmalex1> bioterror: apt-get built a different structure then I get using dpkg.
[08:41] <bioterror> apt-get uses dpkg for installing packages
[08:41] <zmalex1> hmm. do i need to run a config step?
[08:41] <bioterror> zmalex1, did it install it?
[08:42] <zmalex1> it finished without errors
[08:42] <bioterror> good
[08:42] <bioterror> now sudo apt-get purge jetty
[08:43] <zmalex1> get error

[13:29] <r4y> It has Ubuntu 10.04
[14:10] <holstein> r4y: i would test the hard drive and make sure its good
[14:12] <r4y> gaelfx is currently helping my on the ubuntu channel
[14:13] <r4y> I ran the 3 tests it had and it passed
[14:14] <holstein> r4y: i would just run one test, and i would expect it to take over an hour
[14:16] <r4y> One of the tests took a little more than an hour
[14:16] <r4y> It still said no bad sectors
[14:17] <holstein> then, you can run the live cd, run sudo fdisk -l
[14:17] <holstein> if its listed there, then mount it using the command line and report errors
[14:18] <r4y> I couldn't get it to mount using disk utility before using the live cd
[14:18] <holstein> r4y: cool.. try from the command line, and report errors, and we can see whats going on
[14:19] <holstein> r4y: gparted is the tool to use
[14:20] <r4y> http://paste.ubuntu.com/964736/
[14:20] <r4y> are you on the ubuntu channel as well?
[14:20] <holstein> r4y: is that what you expect to see?
[14:21] <holstein> r4y: is the drive listed?
[14:21] <holstein> i see 2 drives, one is fat32
[14:21] <r4y> Because like I said gaelfx is currently helping my on the ubuntu channel
[14:21] <holstein> r4y: cool.. let me know if you need any help from me
[14:21] <r4y> O, I am sorry, I have a flah drive plugged in for making notes
[14:22] <holstein> you mount from the command line, tel me the erros, and we're done
[14:22] <r4y> Sorry, I really did want help from you. He said use pastebinit, so I am installing it but it is stuck installing
[14:23] <holstein> r4y: just put it in pastebin.. you dont *need* pastebinit.. if its hanging you up
[14:23] <r4y> OK, that's what I thought
[14:25] <r4y> I am trying to go back to where he and I left off by reading back on what he said
[14:25] <holstein> r4y: sure.. or just mount the drive, assuming its showing up in fdisk..
[14:28] <r4y> OK, sorry, I just wanted to see this line he said to make sure I didn't miss anything important, sorry : quote "type sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit -- paste the url here, so the channel can see"
[14:28] <r4y> That's neat
[14:29] <r4y> I made note of it
[14:31] <r4y> OK, sorry about that
[14:31] <r4y> I will un-mount my flash drive and try again
[14:32] <holstein> r4y: if you dont see the drive in fdisk, you wont be able to mount it
[14:32] <r4y> http://paste.ubuntu.com/964754/
[14:32] <holstein> r4y: is that the drive you are trying to mount?
[14:33] <r4y> Yes
[14:33] <r4y> Or at least I think so
[14:33] <holstein> r4y: make certain
[14:33] <r4y> I don't see any other hard drive connected, so I am assuming yes
[14:33] <holstein> r4y: assume nothing
[14:34] <holstein> r4y: make certain... this is your hardware, and you dont want to waste hours mounting a drive that is not connected
[14:36] <r4y> "/dev/sda1 is what I think it is, but it is connected. It is shown as a 315 GB filesystem under places and 320 under Diskd Utitilty"
[14:36] <holstein> r4y: cool... its mounted then
[14:37] <r4y> No, under disk utility it is shown as busy and is not mounted
[14:38] <holstein> r4y: close *everything* and mount it from the terminal and report errors
[14:40] <r4y> "sudo mount /dev/sda1", what am I missing?
[14:40] <r4y> I haven't used it yet
[14:40] <holstein> r4y: where you want it to be mounted
[14:41] <r4y> "/mnt/ubuntu"
[14:41] <holstein> http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mount-drive-from-command-line-ubuntu-linux/
[14:41] <r4y> I was following a giude that made the dir I pasted here
[14:42] <r4y> Ah, OK
[14:42] <r4y> What's "df -H"
[14:43] <holstein> r4y: flags.. i would need to refer to a wiki or the man page
[14:43] <holstein> i *dont* copy and paste commands without researching them
[14:43] <r4y> so should I just do "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ubuntu" then?
[14:44] <holstein> r4y: do what you feel comfortable doing... that is what i would do, and then i would troubleshoot the errors
[14:44] <intore> hi, i need to mount a remote fs and i created this script but am not sure is correct. first of all, how do i have to do to have a script that runs at the boot?
[14:45] <holstein> intore: you can add them in the GUI... should be "startup" or "sessions"... something like that depending on what operating system you are running
[14:46] <r4y> Cool, I am waiting for the terminal to do something. I may need to make note of this and come back after reboot the live cd, because I had tried to mount it using Disk Utility but a window popped up saying it timed out
[14:46] <r4y> so I assumed which you are right I should assume anything would be OK
[14:47] <r4y> I shouldn't assume I ment
[14:47] <r4y> fixed: so I assumed which you are right I shouldn't assume anything would be OK
[14:48] <r4y> I will wait for the terminal for a while though
[14:48] <holstein> r4y: no need
[14:48] <intore> holstein, i've 11.10. i found a little howto: copy the script in /etc/init.d/ and type sudo update-rc.d monta.sh defaults. Could be correct?
[14:48] <holstein> intore: is it working?
[14:49] <r4y> no need for what?, I am sorry
[14:49] <intore> holstein, no but i don't know if is for incorrect script or about this procedure
[14:50] <holstein> intore: i would suggest trying the GUI i mentioned
[14:50] <intore> holstein, i don't know how is with GUI
[14:50] <holstein> r4y: no need to "wait on the terminal" it should take at most a few seconds to mount.. restarting is not a bad idea
[14:51] <r4y> OK, OK, ha ha ha, I should have known, duh
[14:51] <r4y> I'll back back
[14:51] <r4y> O No
[14:52] <holstein> intore: its really similar to what i said, though im not sure what operating system you are using
[14:52] <holstein> in gnome2 i beleive is called "sessions".. but i would just search or find "startup" and add and test
[14:52] <intore> holstein, ubuntu 11.10
[14:52] <holstein> intore: so, you are in unity?
[14:52] <holstein> or gnome?
[14:53] <intore> holstein, gnome
[14:53] <holstein> intore: ok.. it was called sessions in 10.04... but you'll find it
[14:55] <intore> holstein, but is it a folder or what?
[14:56] <holstein> intore: its a GUI.. its got a box... you type the command you want to have start with your session
[14:58] <intore> holstein, i don't understand, am sorry. am newbie
[15:00] <holstein> intore: its in the menu... or it was.. in the system tab.. its either "sessions" or "startup" or "startup session"
[15:06] <r4y> I can't get into the irc ubuntu logs to find a link I was using which I should have pasted into the text file on my flash drive
[15:06] <bioterror> if you're kind enough, I might grep it
[15:07] <holstein> r4y: big picture for me what exactly you are trying to do
[15:07] <r4y> I guess I don't need it.
[15:08] <r4y> but that doesn't mean I wouldn't have asked with a please
[15:08] <r4y> I want to make a directory with the terminal but I also wanted the link, but like I said I guess I don't need it
[15:09] <holstein> r4y: no.. what are you trying to do?
[15:09] <holstein> you want to make a directory to troubleshoot the mounting issue
[15:09] <holstein> whats the goal?
[15:09] <holstein> mkdir is the "make directory" command
[15:09] <r4y> make a directory to mount to, if it was me I would do gksudo nautilus because I don't use the make dir command
[15:10] <r4y> It's not that I don't want to use the commandline though
[15:10] <holstein> r4y: you dont have to.. just dont get side tracked making a directory when thats not the issue
[15:10] <holstein> r4y: what are you trying to do?
[15:11] <r4y> I wanted the link not just because for making a command, but it's just a link
[15:11] <holstein> mkdir /path/to/file
[15:11] <holstein> r4y: good luck! i gotta run :)
[15:11] <r4y> make "mkdir /mnt/ubuntu" or what ever
[15:12] <r4y> TY
[15:12] <r4y> take care
[15:13] <r4y> I did sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ubuntu and it's still blinking
[15:15] <r4y> bioterror, could you fish the link I want that I posted on the Ubuntu channel which was from the Ubuntu forums, pretty please?
[15:21] <r4y> I just found this link: http://superuser.com/questions/278864/cant-mount-hard-drive-ubuntu
[15:21] <r4y> This is an ext4 hard drive I think
[15:21] <r4y> It is
[15:52] <r4y> OMG, I got my hard drive mixed up. I still have my data
[15:53] <r4y> I wondering what happened though with that other hard drive
[15:53] <r4y> sorry for my bad typing as usual
[15:54] <r4y> Well, I have another hard drive I can use to back up. And I am thinking of using the bad hard drive like a flash drive
[15:54] <r4y> I mean the one with no grub
[15:55] <r4y> when I say bad, spinrite said it is good
[15:55] <r4y> I gotta go
[16:04] <s-fox> Goodbye.

[21:59] <davkbod-ld__> Online
[22:06] <davkbod-ld__> Once you run the Unity 2-D panel by clicking on it, how do you access the panel? other than text in top bar changing from black to green (even harder to read) don't know control methods
[22:08] <davkbod-ld__> to chnge colors, need to address color scheme for windows elements (title bar, menus, etc)
[22:11] <Kristoffer> can anyone help me with installing the latest version of ubuntu on my laptop?
[22:11] <davkbod-ld__> at moment, tilebar is black on white (black text on white backround), however, file window (right pane) is black on black. Icons in the file window are grey and yellow, and if I select one, name of file or directory appears in black/grey.  a
[22:13] <Kristoffer> i would very much appreciate some help asap
[22:13] <davkbod-ld__> Kristoffer - has your laptop a CD/DVD player
[22:13] <davkbod-ld__> ?
[22:13] <Kristoffer> no
[22:14] <davkbod-ld__> USB port?
[22:14] <Kristoffer> i installed the .iso file on a thumb drive, but it won't appear when i boot my laptop
[22:14] <davkbod-ld__> sounds like laptop not seeing USB Port.
[22:15] <Kristoffer> yes, and i don't know what to do
[22:15] <davkbod-ld__> USB Ports usable otherwise?
[22:15] <Kristoffer> i tried installing the "easy windows installer" from the ubuntu website, but it doesn't work
[22:15] <Kristoffer> yes, they are working
[22:15] <davkbod-ld__> What model laptop, who make?
[22:16] <Kristoffer> asus
[22:16] <Kristoffer> asus ul30a
[22:16] <davkbod-ld__> Have a seat, I'll be a moment..
[22:16] <Kristoffer> thanks
[22:17] <Kristoffer> anyone norwegians here, who might help?
[22:18] <Kristoffer> any*
[22:18] <davkbod-ld__> If you stick a USB stick in with, say , pictures, could you see those files?
[22:19] <Kristoffer> yes, everything is working when the computer is on. only problem is that my laptop doesn't detect the thumbdrive when i boot
[22:19] <Kristoffer> it just boots windows directly, without giving me an option to choose otherwise
[22:20] <davkbod-ld__> OK, have you looked at BIOS settings? Some BIOS will not allow you to boot from a USB.
[22:21] <davkbod-ld__> But there's usually a setting to allow it to happen..
[22:22] <davkbod-ld__> Other BIOSs allow you to during the boot process, press an F-Key to enable booting from other than HD..they might even have Boot Order..
[22:22] <davkbod-ld__> Check those out...
[22:23] <davkbod-ld__> Not sure about ASUS, but Dell the F-key is F-12 for BIOS Boot menu
[22:25] <Kristoffer> yeah, i know about the f-12 option, but during booting there is no time or option to push it
[22:28] <davkbod-ld__> What happens if you hit delete (DEL) key while booting??
[22:29] <Kristoffer> nothing. tried f-12, esc, delete, ctrl+alt+delete
[22:29] <Fyodorovna> Kristoffer, you hit the boot menu key prompt after the power on during the bios gui which may tell you the key or keys to hit to choose to boot from
[22:30] <Fyodorovna> menu
[22:32] <Kristoffer> problem is that when i start my computer, it jumps right to the windows logo and then i log in. I have no opportunity at all to actually push f-12. i have done this on other computers, which say that "press f-12 blabla" durin booting, but my laptop doesn't
[22:35] <Fyodorovna> Kristoffer, not all computers use f12 look up the manula for this computer on line opr boot from menu key prompts.
[22:35] <davkbod-ld__> OK, what happens if you try pressing F-8, or F-10
[22:35] <Kristoffer> I will reboot and try, thanks for the help so far!
[22:35] <Fyodorovna> some times it is a number of keys so I would look it up rather then hunt and peck to be honest.
