[20:13] <zykotick9> roasted: sorry - no idea!  i haven't tested this - but don't see why it wouldn't work ;)  good luck man.  PS. there might be a better way?
[20:13]  * Crell nods.
[20:13] <Crell> OK.  Now to figure out why some mounts are working and others not. :-)
[20:13] <jola> hi. after a BSOD I can't boot windows anymore. grub says "error: no such device: B248C33048C2F261. error: no such disk". the BSOD said: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL [...] NDIS.SYS [...], and when it occured I hadn't been starting any programs for quite a while, I was just writing an email in firefox when it suddenly happened. I'm dual booting windows xp and xubuntu. I'm on xubuntu now, the windows partition doesn't appear in Thunar (t
[20:13] <jola> he file manager) either. but "fdisk -l" shows the partition (also marked as bootable). I want to use xubuntu to check for what's causing the issue but I don't know what it could be or what to test for and how. some driver screwed with the partition
[20:14] <zykotick9> roasted: just creating the user "RESET SYSTEM" and have your script(s) called from the default autorun or session type thing might be even easier to setup.
[20:14] <noname120> I've network issues with my broadcom 43xx wifi card : I've xubuntu and I installed the driver, the network manager of xubuntu don't show the wireless connections . I tried to install wicd but this can't find any network neither . But with backtrack, a bunch of wireless network are found and I can connect on them . How can I fix it ?
[20:15] <ssta> jola: sounds to me like your windows partition is toast.  You'll probably have to try using the windows CD to recover it
[20:15] <jola> ssta, oh no :(
[20:15] <noname120> Please help me !!    I've network issues with my broadcom 43xx wifi card : I've xubuntu and I installed the driver, the network manager of xubuntu don't show the wireless connections . I tried to install wicd but this can't find any network neither . But with backtrack, a bunch of wireless network are found and I can connect on them
[20:16] <jola> I just moved to a new apartment and need my data, the new semester starts on monday
[20:16] <Crell> LOL.
[20:16] <Crell> ssta: OK, this is probably also "normal" but differs from my Mac experience.
[20:16] <ssta> jola the windows CD might be able to recover the install
[20:16] <jola> ssta, I don't know where it is
[20:16] <Crell> Symlinks in the remote file system are resolving relative to my local file system, not remote.
[20:17] <noname120> jola : then download it and burn it
[20:17] <Crell> aka, I cannot traverse them because the target path doesn't exist locally.
[20:17] <ssta> jola: hmm, then I fear you're in trouble...
[20:17] <thundx> noname120: upgrade to FreeBSD. Linux has been crap for video cards and 802.11 lately.
[20:17] <zykotick9> noname120: sounds like your missing firmware or something... have you followed !broadcom?
[20:17] <zykotick9> !broadcom | noname120
[20:17] <ssta> jola: try the microsoft site, there might be an iso you can burn
[20:17] <jola> ah
[20:17] <ssta> Crell: they will if they are absolute paths.
[20:18] <noname120> jola : try the tpb site , there must be an iso to burn
[20:18] <Crell> ssta: When I mount the same share on my Mac at work I do not get that.
[20:18] <ssta> Crell: I dunno how Mac does things
[20:18] <jola> noname120, a normal xp install iso? or a special recovery cd iso?
[20:19] <ssta> jola: the standard XP install iso has a recovery mode
[20:19] <noname120> yes
[20:19] <jola> ok
[20:19] <jola> and what commands should I run in the recovery console?
[20:19] <noname120> don't open the recovery console
[20:19] <zykotick9> !windows
[20:20] <ssta> it's XP, it's all wizardy.  You say "try to recover" and then wait a few hours while it tries.  It will either work or not
[20:20] <jola> zykotick9, I asked there, they sent me here -.-
[20:20] <noname120> guys I can't find how to fix my problem with my broadcom 43xx wifi chip :/
[20:20] <noname120> Please help me
[20:21] <jola> ssta, what can I do if that doesn't work? can I access the data from linux somehow? fdisk recognizes the partition, can I mount it?
[20:21] <zykotick9> !helpme > noname120
[20:21] <ssta> jola: you can try mounting it, yes
[20:21] <rinzler> !wifi > noname120
[20:24] <jola> ssta, fdisk shows for it"/dev/sda2   *        9729       19456    78140160    7  HPFS/NTFS", but "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt" outputs: "NTFS signature is missing. Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Invalid argument. The device '/dev/sda2' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS."
[20:24] <noname120> guys : I don't understand these documentations: why does it work flawlessly in backtrack-linux or even windows with a single action but in ubuntu, we need 200 command to try to make it work and it's not sure. Is there no way to fix it without 200 lines of command line etc ?
[20:24] <ssta> jola: hmm, looks like a dead filesystem.  Sorry
[20:25] <thundx> jola: looks like your disk is bad
[20:25] <jola> :(((
[20:26] <roasted> zykotick9: oh okay... so I assume I just need to create a script, tag it to startup applications for "RESET SYSTEM", and that's it, eh? I guess I just need to tag at the end of the script "when complete, log out" etc?
[20:26] <jola> ssta, thundx: but it's not physical, right?
[20:27] <thundx> noname120: when you can explain why Linux has decades of Laptop support but no docking station support at all, then I'll tell you the mystery of why 802.11 is junk under Linux.
[20:27] <zykotick9> roasted: if you wanted to get fancy, your script could restart Xorg / DM.
[20:27] <thundx> Yes, your physical disk probably has bad sectors.
[20:27] <ssta> jola: probably not, but it's impossible to tell
[20:27] <thundx> depending on the manufacturer, there might be a usable boot disk which can diagnose bad sectors
[20:27] <roasted> zykotick9: that may be best... for waht it's worth, if I add the script to startup applications that's just for THAT user, right?
[20:27] <jola> ssta, how could I check?
[20:28] <thundx> If you can find them, you may be able to skip them when you create new partitions.
[20:28] <noname120> "tell you the mystery of why 802.11 is junk under Linux." <-- I wanna fix it: why is ubuntu so crappy foe that ?
[20:28] <ZeloZelos> bad sectors are like cancer, it will get worse even if you find the sectors, i suggest replacing asap
[20:28] <noname120> *foe--> for
[20:28] <_255> I need help here please!
[20:28] <zykotick9> roasted: RIGHT!  only for that user.  (i think it would be ideal if you enter the password and there is no interaction, until the DM returns)
[20:28] <jola> fml
[20:29] <thundx> It's not just Ubuntu. Linux, in general, has terribad WiFi support.
[20:29] <ssta> jola: you can't without destroying the data.  THe only hope you have is rescue from a windows CD...but you might be completely hosed.  Sorry
[20:29] <roasted> thundx: I've never really had much of an issue with wifi, except for broadcom chips, and even they have been better in the last year.
[20:29] <jola> the data of years of work are on that partition
[20:29] <noname120> thundx : works flawlessly on backtrack-linux :/
[20:29] <roasted> zykotick9: appreciate the input. thanks a lot!
[20:29] <_255> please!
[20:29] <ZeloZelos> 256 ?
[20:29] <noname120> jola : some experts can retrieve your data but it'll cost you avout 100$
[20:29] <thundx> that's because BT is a tool set designed specifically to work with mobile pen testing.
[20:30] <bernku> ubuntu and linux in gereanl, work greate with wifi
[20:30] <roasted> thundx: to the contrary, there's been times windows has magically dropped my wifi and never reconnected unless I remove the ssid and re-add it, whereas ubuntu works flawless. Gotta love technology...
[20:30] <ZeloZelos> 255
[20:30] <roasted> anyway, I'm out. thanks!
[20:30] <noname120> thundx : too bad: what linux distrib that works with ubuntu packets does support this ?
[20:30] <ZeloZelos> _255: what is your question
[20:30] <_255> ZeloZelos, When I try to boot I got stuck on this screen : http://imagebin.org/207933
[20:31] <_255> ZeloZelos, I am trying to install ubuntu-11.10-desktop-i386
[20:31] <thundx> General question: does Ubuntu have the same broken NetworkManager that Debian has? e.g.  wireless interfaces are unmanaged
[20:32] <_255> Have you ever seen such a thing?
[20:32] <ZeloZelos> _255: i have no idea what that ss is of, to follow, you inserted disk, booted from disk, ran live/ or not ran the installer?
[20:32] <noname120> _255 : describe the steps and where it bug
[20:32] <_255> ZeloZelos, I am booting from a toasted cd.
[20:32] <ZeloZelos> _255: toasted?
[20:33] <sno> Hi, sendmail by default will try to deliver an email for up to five days, does anyone know how often it retries to send an email?  I can't seem to find that information?
[20:33] <_255> ZeloZelos, well, I used to have XP running but got borrowed about blue screen, then I installed this new Ubuntu 12 version which is completly full of bugs. I suspected this machine may be with some hardware issues.
[20:34] <thundx> noname120: does your /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf have [ifupdown] managed=false?
[20:34] <grendal-prime> hey anyone have any luck with netmrg ?
[20:34] <_255> Then I removed some drives and try to keep as few hardware as possible to start a investigation.
[20:34] <thundx> e.g. NetworkManager is not managing the wifi interface....
[20:34] <ssta> _255: 12.04 isn't released yet, it's still in beta...
[20:34] <Bersam> Hello everybody! i made a script (download list) with synaptic in ubuntu 10.04 ... can i use that for ubuntu 11.10? or apps in 11.10 is newer than lucid?
[20:35] <ZeloZelos> _255: that ss sort of reminds me of a system error, like the processor isnt functioning right or somehting, aaa, the big blue..ok...it probably is something to do with hardware, what machine, how old?
[20:35] <_255> ssta, yes, but when you go to www.ubuntu.com the first option is to download a beta version, quite hard to figure where is the old version.
[20:35] <jola> ssta, noname120: and if recovery fails, can I at least format the partition if it can't be mounted, and then reinstall windows?
[20:35] <thundx> 12.04 beta2 isn't too bad.
[20:35] <_255> ZeloZelos, not sure I know its a ADM processor and should be quite old already.
[20:35] <ssta> _255: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download
[20:36] <thundx> jola: you familiar with dd ?
[20:36] <_255> ssta, yes, I already figured.
[20:36] <noname120> jola : better you try a file recovering tool before
[20:36] <jola> thundx, I only know that it does raw copy
[20:36] <_255> But I thing Ubuntu guys should avoid putting a beta version in such a hightlight
[20:36] <ssta> jola: depends.  If the drive has hardware errors, might be better to get your data off it and replace it (I make a policy to bin a drive that doesn't feel reliable as soon as spossible...compared to losing data, drives are cheap)
[20:37] <thundx> if you have the free space, I'd try to dd the contents of the bad partition to a file. That way, if it happens to be that just the fstype sig is bad, you can edit it and mount it via loopback
[20:37] <thundx> if the dd won't complete, then you know for sure the drive is bad
[20:37] <ZeloZelos> _255: im almost positive thats saying that either there is bad memory, bad processor/controller or something else with the board. you will need to know the make/model to determine...that appears even if you dont have a disk in the drive right?
[20:37] <jola> thundx, but how can I copy from it if I can't mount it?
[20:37] <thundx> you can try this (assuming /dev/sda1 is windows): dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/null bs=512
[20:37] <eddy_000> Help Please: error processing configuration file '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'   ( PROFTPF)
[20:37] <ssta> jola: dd if=/dev/sdX of=myFile bs=1024
[20:38] <ssta> thundx: umm, that won't save a copy :)
[20:38] <thundx> if that doesn't hang, and you don't hear clicking noises, then change the of= to be a file
[20:38] <thundx> right, just need to check the drive first :)
[20:38] <eddy_000> PROFTP will not boot up anyone know anything about this suject?
[20:38] <Bndrr> eddy_000, u need to configure that file if u want a goof ftpd service
[20:38] <Bndrr> good *
[20:38] <eddy_000> Bndrr i opened it, it says read only?
[20:38] <_255> ZeloZelos, not really, it apears after ISOLINUX 4.04 201105`8 ETCD Copyright ? 1994-2011 Peter Amuim et al
[20:38] <eddy_000> could this be the problem then?
[20:39] <ZeloZelos> _255: do you have another disk? perhaps something went wrong with dl or burning
[20:39] <jola> thundx, how long is it supposed to take? it runs for more than 10 secs now
[20:39] <thundx> dd doesn't care about signatures - so if it is a corrupted file system then dd will complete. If its a bad hdd then dd will, normally, hang
[20:39] <ssta> jola: how big is the drive?
[20:39] <thundx> could be a very long time
[20:39] <Bndrr> eddy_000, maybe something in proftpd.conf is worng
[20:39] <thundx> how big is the partition, in GB?
[20:39] <eddy_000> well Bndrr how can i edit this file?
[20:39] <jola> thundx, ssta, it's a 53GB partition on a 160GB drive
[20:39] <_255> ZeloZelos, I started with Ubuntu, then I moved to Kubuntu then I moved back to Ubuntu again, always same issue.
[20:39] <thundx> how big is the windows partition, in GB?
[20:39] <thundx> ah
[20:39] <Bndrr> put some ## before the lines and check up line bu line.
[20:40] <jola> ah no, 80 GB partition
[20:40] <eddy_000> the file hasnt been edited by me and its a clean instal :S
[20:40] <_255> ZeloZelos, I am all day long testing it.
[20:40] <Bndrr> for edit u can for example gedit /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
[20:40] <thundx> then it should run for > 10 minutes.
[20:40] <ssta> jola: typical drives read at (about) 50-100MB/second.  (say 80 to make the math easy).  80GB is 1000 times that, so 1000 seconds (about 20 minutes)
[20:40] <thundx> I don't remember the CTRL- key sequence to make it spit out progress
[20:40] <jola> thundx, is it 512 MB? or byte?
[20:41] <thundx> 512 in the command line is 512k
[20:41] <Bndrr> copy the context,go to pastebin, and let me see .maybe i can help.
[20:41] <jola> thundx, but why does that depend on the partition size?
[20:41] <jola> it can read from the start
[20:41] <thundx> why does what depend?
[20:41] <ssta> thundx: umm, no it's not.  it's bytes
[20:41] <jola> thundx, how long it takes
[20:41] <jola> reading 512 bytes shouldn't take 10 secs
[20:41] <ZeloZelos> _255: ah, ok, then it could be the disk drive idk, that ss is very strange. none of those codes are showing in google for me, cept error 3, but thats a huge hit
[20:42] <thundx> duh, yeah, I fat fingered that...was thinking ahead about the 4k block size drives
[20:42] <_255> ZeloZelos, what I did mess a lot is this machine bios
[20:42] <eddy_000> Bndrr : it opened up the file but its not letting me touch it, says its read only and the save option is coloured out also :S
[20:42] <ssta> jola: no, you're reading it 512 bytes at a time.  It weill read the whole partition
[20:42] <thundx> its not reading 512 bytes, its reading chunks of 512 bytes until EOF or you stop it
[20:42] <ZeloZelos> _255: what did you mess with, can you get it back to default?
[20:42] <jola> ssta, ah!
[20:42] <_255> ZeloZelos, maybe it's something I did at bios.
[20:42] <ZeloZelos> very possible
[20:42] <Bndrr> eddy_000,  try with sudo su and then the gedit command.
[20:42] <Bndrr> or nano /etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf
[20:43] <thundx> if you want to only read a certain number, add "count=X" to the end, where count is the number of 512 byte blocks to read
[20:43] <jola> thundx, ssta, so how long should I wait until I know if it hangs? (the partition is 80GB)
[20:43] <Bndrr> but with superpowers. :)
[20:43] <_255> ZeloZelos, well yes, I did set it to default already, but this machine has 2 hdds and 2 cd-rom drives.
[20:43] <thundx> to be sure, wait till tomorrow :)
[20:43] <thundx> otherwise
[20:43] <ZeloZelos> _255: what bios is it?
[20:43] <bekks> Bndrr: sudo su is useless use of su. sudo -i does the same, as well as gksu/kdesudo gedit in that case.
[20:43] <ssta> jola: I'd say if it's not done in 3-4 hours, there's probably a problem
[20:43] <thundx> you can stop it after a few minutes. if CTRL-C doesn't kill it, or the "blocks copied" in the output doesn't look kosher then the drive is toast
[20:44] <_255> ZeloZelos, I did remove one of each but I don't know if the jumpers are all set.
[20:44] <jola> thundx, why pipe it to /dev/null though. wouldn't it be better to save it in a file?
[20:44] <Bndrr> thx
[20:44] <_255> ZeloZelos, it's a AwardBios
[20:44] <thundx> do some math on the number of blocks copied and see if, based onthe interface type, the numbers look right
[20:44] <ssta> jola: I think a file is better...especially if the drive is dying.
[20:44] <jola> thundx, what amount of "blocks copied" could be considered kosher after x minutes?
[20:45] <jola> ssta, but my linux partition is smaller than 80 gb
[20:45] <Guest66992> ciao
[20:45] <thundx> because /dev/null is faster. we just want to test read - and writing it to a file might trip on another bad block
[20:45] <ssta> jola: oh, then you're in trouble...
[20:45] <Guest66992> !lista
[20:45] <jola> ssta, I'll try to make space on my external drive. will that work?
[20:45] <ZeloZelos> _255: did you check them, because thats making sense, if both hd's or disks are not on the right cable, or have the jumpers mixed up it will show stuff like that, do you know how to arrange the drives (primary, slave+ etc)?
[20:46] <ssta> jola: yes, if there's enough space.  Typically it will be slower though
[20:46] <david_r> Hi folks, I'm trying to maximize a window across multiple monitors -- http://askubuntu.com/questions/73573/how-to-maximise-a-window-across-two-monitors -- this worked for me in 11.10 but not now in 12.04.  Any advice?
[20:46] <jola> ssta, so then it would be of=/path/to/file ?
[20:46] <thundx> well, when you stop it you will see a time in seconds and a block count transfered. if you see that you were getting 2kb/sec or something very low......
[20:46] <_255> ZeloZelos, no, not really.
[20:46] <ssta> jola: yep.  Using a bigger block size might help too (say bs=10k)
[20:47] <_255> ZeloZelos, I may have messed with the cables order and position...
[20:47] <bino> bjr
[20:47] <azertyl> bjr
[20:47] <thundx> heck, if you are going bigger try bs=1M
[20:47] <azertyl> -bjr-
[20:48] <thundx> bs=512 should give you, if you can see where it hangs, the block on the drive which is bad AND that number should align with what you get in fdisk. that's the only reason I usually start out with bs=512
[20:48] <ZeloZelos> _255:  ah ok, so heres the short, to have 2 hd's, one will be master and one will be slave, both on the same cable, the master probably will not need a jumper, the slave will need one but there should be a diagram on the drive its self, the same for disk drives. just make sure both hd's are on the same cable (or the cables they are connect to go to the same area of the board)
[20:48] <azertyl> well is there any web based version of ubuntu available here ?
[20:49] <ssta> azertyl: "web based version"?
[20:49] <ZeloZelos> _255: the best thing to do for now is only use 1 hd and 1 disk drive (not inc a floppy if its there) set all to master
[20:49] <azertyl> hold down i back
[20:49] <jola> ssta, thundx: results: 57326153+0 records in, 57326152+0 records out,<PHONE_NUMBER>4 bytes (29 GB) copied, 640.507 s, 45.8 MB/s
[20:49] <_255> ZeloZelos, the order the cable connects doesn't matters, like if it connects first one of the drivers and then the other?
[20:50] <ssta> jola: that's about the right speed...in the ballpark anyway
[20:50] <Popopo> hello everyone
[20:50] <thundx> so you stopped it? that looks pretty good.
[20:50] <_255> And how about the cd-rom driver?
[20:50] <thundx> chances are you have simple disk corruption, not a bad hdd
[20:50] <azertyl> hello
[20:50] <azertyl> well is there any web based version of ubuntu available here ?
[20:50] <_255> ZeloZelos, And how about the cd-rom drive?
[20:50] <ZeloZelos> _255: no it dont matter, but the cable should have some print on it to tell you the desired connection if not just connect the master to the end and leave the other one off, the same with the disk drives
[20:51] <L0tt037> Am I the only oppne not craqzy  about 11.10 vs/10.10?
[20:51] <thundx> So now you need a NTFS fsck
[20:51] <ssta> azertyl: I have no idea what you mean by "web based version"?
[20:51] <_255> ZeloZelos, it conteigns two different interfaces CSM and SLA, with one shoudld I jump it?
[20:51] <jola> ssta, thundx: so the next step would be to make space on an external hd and copy the whole partition there, with "sudo dd if=/dev/sda2 of=/path/to/file bs=1M"?
[20:51] <azertyl> cloud os
[20:51] <ssta> jola: you might want to look around for a Barts PE disk (or whatever the modern equivalent is...been a few years since I cared about windows systems)
[20:51] <thundx> yep. that will make a backup. If you can figure out the NTFS signature you can add that with a hex editor or vim
[20:52] <thundx> ooh, yeah, forgot about barts.
[20:52] <Schrodinger`Cat> hey
[20:52] <moonshield> any alternatives to tor? :')
[20:52] <thundx> is the partition XP, Vista, 7, 8?
[20:52] <thundx> moonshield: ipredator
[20:53] <ZeloZelos> _255 also disconnect the power from the unused drives for now...here read this hopefully it helps   http://pressf1.pcworld.co.nz/archive/index.php/t-92670.html?s=b94bf060f6257470bc0f852db24d2c79
[20:53] <jola> ssta, thundx: there is 87 GB free on my external disk. is that enough? can/should I preallocate the 80GB file?
[20:53] <jola> thundx, it's a xp partition
[20:53] <moonshield> thundx, thanks
[20:53] <ZeloZelos> _255 to be honest, i dont know a lot about this, but i usually can muddle through
[20:53] <thundx> no, don't preallocate. that won't help any. just format it as something you can read with Linux and start making a big file. Probably use EXT4 for the fstype
[20:54] <moonshield> thundx, any free alternatives to tor?
[20:54] <_255> ZeloZelos, ok, I will give it a shoot and see what happens, thank you for now man!
[20:54] <thundx> Free? no
[20:55] <thundx> speed an issue for you?
[20:55] <moonshield> thundx, not speed, i have a different issue
[20:55] <faithlesscvc> any working driver to be aple to explore ext3 partition from windows explorer?
[20:56] <thundx> well, you'll want something based out of Sweden...at least until May (?end of April) when their new privacy laws kick in
[20:56] <azertyl> anyone ?
[20:56] <_255> ZeloZelos, if I intend to boot from cd-rom, does it requires to be set as master ?
[20:56] <thundx> you want a cloud Ubuntu?
[20:56] <moonshield> me?
[20:57] <thundx> sorry, Azertyl
[20:57] <azertyl> ok i forgive you
[20:57] <moonshield> thundx, how can someone block tor?
[20:58] <jola> thundx, there are 61 GB used on the external disk. it's vfat
[20:58] <jola> wait, IIRC it can only have files up to 4 GB?
[20:58] <ZeloZelos> ok gl _255
[20:59] <jola> I remember I got errors when trying to do a backup that contained larger than 4 GB files onto it (vm images)
[20:59] <thundx> azertyl: https://build.opensuse.org/
[20:59] <ZeloZelos> _255: if you only have one drive, its set to master, slave is only use when you have more than one
[20:59] <thundx> Yeah jola. that won't work. I thought you had 80+ gb of uncommitted space on the hdd
[21:00] <thundx> e.g. you could make a 85GB /dev/sdb2 or something
[21:00] <mraxilus> My notifyosd stopped displaying bubbles. When I send a noticications with notify-send it appears in the log however the notification bubble does not display, nor does it display for other things such as volume, etc. Can anyone help?
[21:00] <jola> thundx, a second partition on the external drive? with gparted?
[21:00] <eddy_000> !help i have having issues with PROFTPD not been able to configure /etc/proftpd/prftpd.confi   thank you
[21:01] <toumbo> May anyone can check my KDM.log file becauce I  did stupidity? http://pastebin.ubuntu-gr.org/m603fe1d2
[21:01] <noname120> !help what's the purpose of that cmd ?
[21:01] <thundx> yeah. and formatted as something which can handle a 80GB file
[21:01] <azertyl> there no information about clous OS on that link thundx
[21:01] <spacebug-> eddy_000: what problems?
[21:01] <moonshield> So there is only tor that can hide my a** for free? it can't even hide its own.
[21:03] <thundx> azertyl: the link is under development. try this instead: http://susestudio.com/
[21:03] <Kiryx> Hello
[21:03] <ssta> jola: cd <external drive somewhere>; dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=1M | split -b 3G - sda1
[21:04] <rhin0> how to find all ips on wireless network?  arp-scan doesn't work
[21:04] <jola> thundx, wtf, gparted says "unable to find mount point" but for the external drive!! /dev/sdb1
[21:04] <jola> I can view the files on it in the file manager though
[21:05] <thundx> ls /dev/sdb*
[21:05] <thundx> Hmm, I wonder if it mounted it under /media
[21:05] <jola> /dev/sdb  /dev/sdb1
[21:05] <jola> thundx, yes
[21:05] <jola> /media/TREKSTORE HD
[21:05] <Guest59506> Why does disk utility say this drive is mounted or is it http://paste.ubuntu.com/928519/
[21:05] <thundx> that's windows for you...always trying to do things for you.....
[21:05] <jola> err, /media/TREKSTOR HD
[21:05] <thundx> oh wait...this is linux
[21:06] <jola> so why can't gparted find the mount point? because it's mounted?
[21:06] <thundx> probably
[21:06] <moonshield> anyone?
[21:07] <compdoc> it says mount point Volume does not exist
[21:07] <thundx> whoever is responsible for Nouveau should be taken out and flogged. what a POS.
[21:07] <ssta> thundx: writing an nvidia driver is decidedly non-trivial...it's better than I could have done
[21:08] <thundx> well, we've only had Sandy Bridge for about a year now. I suppose we'll get support for it sometime in 2016
[21:09] <thundx> and Nvidia produces a driver. But the GPL crowd is too pure to just use it. Better to break every single distribution (except Gentoo) than support a binary driver /puke
[21:10] <ssta> you can just use the nvidia driver if you prefer (I do)
[21:10] <mraxilus> does nobody here have experience with notify-osd?
[21:10] <thundx> I do. Its just that I have to add "nouveau.modeset=0" in order to boot until I get that junk out of the kernel
[21:11] <ssta> well, it's irritating, but hadly the end of the world (a papercut if you like)
[21:12] <thundx> Gentoo has the only install/boot media that will boot without editing on this laptop. I can, literally, install OSX on this as a hackintosh faster than any linux version.
[21:12] <jola> thundx, I quit gparted, unmounted the external disk, started gparted, but now it's "Searching /dev/sdb partitions..." since minutes
[21:12] <thundx> USB?
[21:12] <jola> yes
[21:13] <thundx> hmmm...what does that under linux? dbus?
[21:13] <Guest59506> compdoc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/928530/
[21:13] <jola> no idea
[21:14] <compdoc> Guest59506, that means you are not using the command correctly
[21:14] <thundx> ooh, there's a tornado in Oklahoma
[21:14] <theborger> anyone noticed it takes a while for smb shares to show up after a reboot?
[21:15] <thundx> about 60 seconds? ;)
[21:15] <rbrooks> not rly
[21:15] <theborger> thundx: it takes longer then that here
[21:15] <ssta> theborger: it's because SMB is a really awful protocol that was dreamt up by a madman on some really bad drugs...
[21:16] <thundx> yeah, try CIFS instead
[21:16] <ssta> that's the same thing,. just rebadged and tweaked a bit :)
[21:16] <jola> thundx, what should I do, mount it and try to reformat?
[21:17] <_255> To correct jump a driver to Master do I need to use one or two jumpers?
[21:17] <ssta> _255: depends on the drive.  They're usually marked
[21:18] <ssta> been a while since I heard of needing to do that though...IDE is still used?
[21:18] <UbuntuBoy> Hello. :O
[21:18] <_255> ssta, mine got threee possible ways CS, SL and MA.
[21:19] <_255> ssta, I wonder if MA would be enough.
[21:19] <ssta> _255: MA sounds to me like it should be master
[21:19] <kasii> hi
[21:19] <kasii> a;ll
[21:20] <_255> What is happening here is weird because now I only have the CD-ROM when I boot the machine and it persists in showing me that error message : http://imagebin.org/207933
[21:21] <thundx> jola: if you don't need the data on the drive, then yeah that's what I would do
[21:21] <theborger> so what is the best option to share files between ubuntu/ubuntu?
[21:21] <compdoc> _255, youre booting a cd?
[21:21] <jola> thundx, I do need it
[21:21] <kasii> poplins, hi
[21:21] <jola> I don't want to lose any data
[21:21] <usuario> alex
[21:21] <usuario> como estas
[21:21] <jola> thundx, it doesn't mount :/
[21:21] <_255> compdoc, yes
[21:22] <compdoc> _255, what is that screen?
[21:22] <_255> compdoc, well it shows when I boot from cd-rom supposed to install Ubuntu. Now I have only one driver installed at this machine.
[21:23] <compdoc> _255, Ive never seen anything like that. I doubt its anything from an ubuntu install cd
[21:24] <_255> compdoc, have you ever tryed to install Ubuntu on a defective machine
[21:24] <ssta> it's a BIOS error imo
[21:24] <_255> ssta, well ,could be...
[21:24] <jola> thundx, ok, I mounted it successfully on /mnt, gparted doesn't complain anymore. can I create a new 85GB partition in the free space? is it contiguous?
[21:25] <compdoc> _255, try memtest86 - thats part of the boot cd
[21:26] <dougl> I have run boot-repair and can boot into ubuntu but now I cannot boot into my xp... grub list windows 7 that I installed xp over... how can I get grub to rescan my drive and configd for installed oses?
[21:27] <Guest59506> what does it mean mount: /media/New is not a block device
[21:27] <thundx> I don't know if you can. if gparted doesn't complain about make it without remmoving a partition then you should be ok
[21:28] <thundx> Guest: that means it is a character device :)
[21:28] <_255> compdoc, I am not currently able to boot from cd.
[21:28] <compdoc> Guest59506, does the directory /media/New  exist?
[21:28] <Guest59506> Great
[21:29] <compdoc> _255, time for some computer repair, huh?
[21:30] <jblp> .
[21:30] <Guest59506> compdoc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/928553/
[21:31] <compdoc> Guest59506, try:  sudo cd /media/New
[21:31] <jola> thundx, will removing the partition delete the data? can I remove the partition and create a new one over the old data?
[21:32] <ssta> jola: No...definitely not
[21:32] <ssta> jola: you will lose the data if you do that
[21:32] <jola> does fat32 support nested partitions?
[21:32] <ssta> no
[21:32] <jola> :(
[21:32] <ssta> fat32 barely supports files
[21:33] <Guest59506> compdoc, command not found
[21:33] <jola> ssta, what does it help me to have a copy of the unreadable partition though?
[21:33] <dbgster> can I add /var/lib/gems/1.8/bin/ to my alias in a one-liner? or I have to edit my .profile or bashrc
[21:33] <ssta> jola: because it might be repairable...but before you start trying to repair it (a potentially destructive operation), you want a copy of it
[21:34] <compdoc> Guest59506, sorry, try just: cd /media/New
[21:34] <jola> ssta, ok, and after copying, should I try ntfsfix first or windows recovery disk?
[21:34] <ssta> jola: if it were me, I'd go with the windows disk
[21:35] <jola> and if that doesn't work, ntfsfix?
[21:35] <ssta> wortha  try
[21:35] <jola> ssta, and if that doesn't work, what should I do with the raw copy?
[21:36] <ssta> jola: learn about ntfs signatures and try to repair it...disk recovery is a tricky thing, there aren't often easy answers...
[21:37] <Guest59506> compdoc, why not New Volume?
[21:37] <jola> ssta, but I guess the driver didn't just corrupt the signature
[21:37] <ssta> jola: no way to know what happened with the information available.
[21:39] <compdoc> Guest59506, you named it New Volume? Then try: cd /media
[21:40] <compdoc> if thats sucessful, try:  ls -al
[21:40] <dougl> I used to edit menu.cfg and it was so simple to config boot loader - what happened... How can I configure grub with a windows xp option?
[21:41] <neutronium> hi leute
[21:41] <Guest59506> compdoc, I can get to /media but not New Volume
[21:41] <jblp> .
[21:41] <neutronium> wie gehts euch
[21:42] <compdoc> Guest59506, what does ls -al show?
[21:42] <zykotick9> Guest59506:try: cd "/media/New Volume" or cd /media/New\ Volume
[21:42] <Kanerix> Is he STILL unable to mount that drive?
[21:43] <compdoc> Guest59506, simpler not to use spaces in some names
[21:43] <magn3ts> What happened to my system? Something happened in the last two months. PulseAudio can't do a think right, and X is crashing all the time, and I'm pretty sure it's because of pulseaudio
[21:43] <magn3ts> a lot of times when flash or html5 are playing, I get crashes.
[21:44] <magn3ts> vlc constantly mutes and I have to close it to get it to work again
[21:44] <magn3ts> i got pops and beeps in my audio
[21:44] <magn3ts> and it didn't do this basically before 2012. :/
[21:44] <compdoc> computers do go bad
[21:44] <magn3ts> its a year and a half old
[21:45] <Guest59506> compdoc, maybe I should change the name http://paste.ubuntu.com/928568/
[21:46] <compdoc> Guest59506, cd to media, then ls -al from there. Dont cd to New
[21:46] <Kanerix> compdoc, maybe YOURs do, but mine live forever
[21:47] <compdoc> Kanerix, good luck with that
[21:48] <Kanerix> =D
[21:48] <Guest59506> compdoc, http://paste.ubuntu.com/928571/
[21:48] <compdoc> Guest59506, ah, you have two directories name New*
[21:50] <compdoc> Guest59506, the directory /media/new is owned by root, so you wont have permissions to do much there
[21:52] <dorin> goodmorning! can anybody help to unistall me webcam driver then to install it again?
[21:55] <Guest59506> compdoc, It's gone http://paste.ubuntu.com/928577/
[21:57] <compdoc> Guest59506, cool, but rename New Volume to New, or something without spaces, and you'll have less troubles, I think
[21:57] <Guest59506> ok
[22:02] <exutux> .
[22:04] <jola> ssta, but doesn't the option to repair windows on the windows recovery cd only search for a (broken) windows installation? that would mean, the partition has to be readable to start with
[22:07] <ssta> jola: yes, but not necessarily mountable...
[22:08] <jola> ssta, but how can the windows recovery cd read the disk if it has no ntfs signature?
[22:08] <jola> if it only repairs windows installs on ntfs disks
[22:10] <ssta> jola: part of what it can do for recovery is repair ntfs sigs (sometimes)
[22:10] <jola> ah
[22:11] <ssta> jola: you realise that all this will basically be a matter of luck.  You *may* be able to recover, or you may be hosed
[22:11] <jola> :(
[22:12] <ssta> jola: if you take a lesson from it (whether or not you can recover) it's "take backups of data I care about" :)
[22:12] <ssta> sorry I can't give you better news
[22:13] <jola> ssta, I know but all my disks are full
[22:16] <jola> ssta, hard disks are still not as cheap as before the flood in thailand
[22:19] <Guest59506> compdoc, guess what it worked
[22:20] <Guest59506> change the name that was so simple
[22:20] <compdoc> :)
[22:20] <Guest59506> thankh
[22:23] <jola> ssta, damn, I had irc logging turned off. I forgot: why do I need to create a new partition for the backup of the corrupted partition like thundx suggested?
[22:28] <ssta> jola: because recovery is potentially destructive and if you have a backup you can dd it back and try again
[22:29] <jola> ssta, but why not just create a 80GB file instead of creating a partition for this file?
[22:30] <ssta> jola: because the only place you had space was on a fat32 partition, and fat32 only handles 4G files
[22:30] <ResQue> jola: i think either would be fine. you best bet would be to use DD to copy the whole damage drive/parition (bit for bit) even the empty parts of the disk to a new drive. Then do the data recovery on the copy you just created.
[22:31] <jola> ssta, yes, but I also have an external ntfs disk, if I move stuff from there to the fat32 one and delete some stuff I might have enough space. and then I don't need to create a partition, right?
[22:31] <ssta> jola: right
[22:31] <jola> ok
[22:31] <ResQue> jola: that way if you fuck something up or overwrite some of the data of the copy you still have the original to do start again
[22:32] <jola> maybe I should also buy another external disk to be able to have multiple copies of that huge 80GB file
[22:32] <ResQue> jola: its not a great idea but if you are running low on disk space you could make a backup of the whole drive in to a single file, with heavy compression
[22:32] <jola> so in case I edit it and it doesn't work I don't have to wait hours until I've copied it again
[22:33] <ResQue> jola: i would suggest if you can afford to and the data is a valuble buy another drive to copy the data on to. but if you dont have the money you dont really have a choice do you
[22:34] <jola> ResQue, I've planned to buy a desktop PC soon (this is a laptop) and need a disk for it anyway. but it would be an internal one
[22:34] <jola> maybe I can buy an adapter to use the disk as an external disk for the laptop?
[22:35] <ResQue> jola: you can pick up a usb/ide to usb from most electronics stores now for about $40/£20
[22:35] <ResQue> sorry i mean IDE/SATA to USB
[22:37] <ResQue> jola: what happened to the data. did you reformat the drive? drop the laptop? how did the data get inaccessible
[22:37] <bunnyfun> can someone interprete this error/
[22:37] <bunnyfun> Xorg[1168]: segfault at 12 ip 00007fd57e1aa133 sp 00007ffff9855f00 error 6 in nvidia_drv.so[7fd57e109000+4cd000]
[22:38] <bunnyfun> am i correct  that this is an nvidia software problem?
[22:38] <ResQue> bunnyfun: sounds like the nvidia driver tried to access memory it was not supposed to . or something else accessed in memory address when it was not allowed to. so the kernal through a segfault to stop it
[22:38] <bunnyfun> or how can i identify error 6
[22:39] <jola> ResQue, after a BSOD some hours ago I couldn't boot windows anymore. grub said "error: no such device: B248C33048C2F261. error: no such disk". the BSOD said: DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL [...] NDIS.SYS [...]. mount said "NTFS signature is missing."
[22:39] <bunnyfun> how can i resolve - coudl ti be a drive or ram issue?
[22:39] <jola> ResQue, I didn't drop the laptop. I was just writing an email in firefox when it suddenly happened
[22:40] <ResQue> jola<EMAIL_ADDRESS>has joined #ubuntu
[22:40] <bunnyfun> this machine does have two different kindss of ram
[22:40] <ResQue> jola: The IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL error is caused by a buggy device driver or an actual hardware conflict --MS MSDN
[22:41] <ResQue> jola: i take it you have ubuntu installed, can you see the harddrive in ubunut?
[22:41] <EvilResistance> jola:  or via a livecd/liveusb, can you see the hard drive
[22:41] <EvilResistance> ResQue:  ^
[22:42] <ResQue> EvilResistance: jola: yes or a live cd
[22:42] <jola> EvilResistance, ResQue, I didn't install any new drivers, I don't know which one it could be. I have xubuntu installed. "fdisk -l" says about the partition "/dev/sda2   *        9729       19456    78140160    7  HPFS/NTFS". but I cannot mount the disk
[22:42] <EvilResistance> use gparted, not fdisk
[22:43] <ResQue> jola: are you in ubuntu now? have you tired to mount the hard drive from the terminal?
[22:43] <jola> gparted shows a (!)
[22:43] <theborger> someone point me to how to install alsa 1.0.24 on 10.10 with the 2.6.32-40 kernel?
[22:43] <jola> ResQue, yes
[22:43] <EvilResistance> jola:  right click the drive, hit "Information"
[22:43] <EvilResistance> or whatever it is...
[22:43]  * EvilResistance is on KDE, so doesnt have gparted
[22:43] <jola> ResQue, $ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt
[22:43] <jola> NTFS signature is missing.
[22:43] <jola> Failed to mount '/dev/sda2': Invalid argument
[22:43] <jola> The device '/dev/sda2' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
[22:43] <EvilResistance> sounds like partition explodification
[22:43] <EvilResistance> or cruption
[22:44] <jola> EvilResistance, "Unable to detect file system! [...etc..]"
[22:44] <EvilResistance> jola: yeah that's a problem, *potentially* disk corruption in that partition
[22:44] <leandroal> I'm trying to install an app that requires GLIBC 2.14, but my ubuntu 11.10 has glibc 2.13. I know that glibc is a system package and also that it is very complicated to update it. Is there any alternative to solve my issue? I mean, is it possible to have multiples glibc installed in my system and if yes, how can I install glibc 2.14?
[22:44] <jola> the results of years of work are on that disk, it's very important to me
[22:44] <ResQue> jola: before  you go into using any ubuntu tools to try and recover the parition. have you tried using the windows chkdsk tool yet? it should be on your windows install cd. xp/vista/7
[22:45] <Church> leandroal: best way would be to recompile just app
[22:45] <jola> ResQue, I moved to a new apartment today, I don't know where the windows install cd currently is
[22:45] <Church> another one might be ldpreload newer version libs
[22:45] <jola> (it's windows xp btw)
[22:46] <Church> jola: windows install cds are on pirate trackers %)
[22:46] <jola> Church, I know but I don't have any blank cds here now either
[22:46] <ResQue> Church: i think tracker would be enough
[22:46] <leandroal> Church, thanks, I don't have access to the source code.
[22:46] <zykotick9> !warez | Church
[22:46] <Church> zykotick9: sigh. it's joke. joke, ya know? :)
[22:47] <ResQue> jola: did you try booting in to safe mode on windows?
[22:48] <theborger> anyone?
[22:48] <MrUnagi> mount /dev/nbd0p2 /media/foo doesn't work in rc.local any idea why
[22:48] <jola> ResQue, it doesn't even let me far enough to do that
[22:48] <EvilResistance> !10.10 | theborger
[22:48] <ResQue> jola: a very good tool for recoving a currupted partition on windows is a tool called testdisk. but you really need to backup your data before you attempt this just in case. Its save me at lest twice after a bdos
[22:49] <soodida> hi everyone
[22:49] <EvilResistance> theborger: 10.10 is unsupported now, you *might* have to upgrade to 11.04
[22:49] <ResQue> jola: testdisk is a great terminal program you can use on ubunut
[22:49] <ResQue> ubuntu
[22:50] <jola> ResQue, ssta recommended copying the partition before doing anything destructive
[22:51] <ResQue> jola: sounds like a very good plan. every time you write to the disk you will lose more data
[22:52] <compdoc> backups are always best
[22:52] <jola> that's why I need to buy a new disk first
[22:53] <jola> probably the Seagate Barracuda
[22:53] <ResQue> i dont think there is any more i can help you with. until you get a drive to copy the data to
[22:54] <jola> yes, it's a really bad time now that I just moved in here and the semester starts on monday
[22:57] <MrUnagi>  mount /dev/nbd0p2 /media/foo doesn't work in rc.local Any ideas why
[22:57] <ResQue> jola: the error didnt happen to come up when you connected your laptop to a new network at your university did it?
[22:57] <warfaren> yeah, afaik rc.local doesn't do much on debian systems. i could be wrong though
[22:57] <warfaren> MrUnagi: i believe you're better off looking into adding that to /etc/fstab
[22:58] <warfaren> not that exact command, but the proper format for fstab
[23:00] <MrUnagi> warfaren: I cant add it to fstab because I have to mod probe nbd first
[23:00] <MrUnagi> Fstab tries to mount before rc.local does
[23:00] <MrUnagi> Er before rc.local modprobes
[23:00] <warfaren> okay, well anyways all the experiments i've ever done with rc.local have failed. it seems that the file is just a dummy on ubuntu and never gets run. it's only worked for me on redhat based systems
[23:00] <warfaren> feel free to prove me wrong, though. i'm by no means an expert
[23:00] <MrUnagi> The other two scripts fire fine
[23:00] <warfaren> they're in rc.local too?
[23:00] <MrUnagi> Yes
[23:00] <jola> ResQue, it happened a few hours after I connected my laptop to my neighbor's network who allowed me to access her wireless network temporarily. I noticed that often there were hickups in audio playback which in my experience always happened due to network connectivity issues, but I didn't get disconnected. and the BSOD happened after a few hours
[23:00] <MrUnagi> Is there any other way to run a mount script on log in
[23:00] <warfaren> oh, in that case i have no idea. sorry
[23:01] <warfaren> i guess you could always create a script in /etc/init.d? and add it with update-rc.d *scriptname* defaults?
[23:01] <warfaren> possibly... dunno if it's a good idea.
[23:01] <motherbrain> is there something I can download on linux machine that I can use to compile mk68 programs. I just don't want to go thru the trouble of building a cross compiler if I don;t have to
[23:01] <ResQue> ResQue: the reason i ask is because university networks are full of infected clients and a BSOD from NDIS (Network Driver Interface Specification) could be due to something bad on the new network
[23:01] <MrUnagi> What issues would there be doing it that way
[23:02] <jola> ResQue, but yes, for my laptop it was a new network
[23:02] <ResQue> ResQue: not really a fix but its a starting place for a cause
[23:03] <ResQue> ResQue: if you cant wait and want access to your data i suggest downloading a tool called testdisk. as long as you dont recover any of the files it will happly scan and tell you what old partitions and files it has found.
[23:03] <X-tonic> I have ubuntu 11.10 . However I need to downgrade my gcc from 4.5 to 4.4. How do i go about this?
[23:04] <ResQue> ResQue: i think there may even be an option to recover files to a second drive but i can not remember if that was testdisk or one of the other 100s of recovery software tools for windows. either way testdisk will let you scan and view the files and paritions it finds on the drive.
[23:04] <ResQue> jola: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[23:05] <warfaren> MrUnagi: not sure if it will mean any issues. but i suppose it's worth a try. if it doesn't work just delete the script again or comment out the lines. i believe defaults will set it to run at your default runlevel
[23:06] <tlhonmey> I've got an 8gb flash card that I'm trying to recover data off of, but gparted reads it as unformatted 32mb.  dd stops reading at 32mb.  Is there another tool I should try?  Or is this thing probably toast?
[23:07] <ResQue> jola: other good place to start reading: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery You will need to do a few hours/days reading before you start the recovery any way. so why your waiting for your new drive its a good time to get up to speed on the proccesses and theory. it will 100% serve you well many times in the future
[23:10] <ResQue> EvilResistance: i am new to helping people on irc and writeing tutorials any feedback you can give me about the advice i gave to jola would be appreciated. i have received so much help from the net i thought i should starting giving some of the advice back
[23:11] <ResQue> tlhonmey: testdisk is a good start: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk
[23:12] <nikkie> Hello
[23:12] <nikkie> Random room poll!  Does anyone in here have NO aspirations at programming?  E.g., they just like linux for the functionality the OS provides?
[23:12] <wylde> !poll
[23:13] <ResQue> nikkie: no, but i have met a few people in the past year that use ubuntu as a novice user because they feel its safer and quicker than windows
[23:14] <tlhonmey> nikkie: I have several clients who are using a Linux desktop and who have no interest in anything other than word processing an internet access.
[23:14] <nositelicense> I just like to find my way around OS'S
[23:14] <booi> will there be an upgrade path from 12.04 beta to 12.04 gold?
[23:14] <wylde> booi: yes.
[23:14] <bastidrazor> booi: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade will get you there when its released
[23:14] <nikkie> @tlhonmey @ResQue thanks for the responses.
[23:15] <booi> great. as longa s it doesn't trash my config files and make me edit xorg.conf

[23:16] <MrUnagi> Sight
[23:16] <MrUnagi> warfaren: That didn't work either
[23:16] <warfaren> :(
[23:16] <MrUnagi> Is there a way to modprobe nbd permanently
[23:16] <tlhonmey> ResQue:  testdisk recovers partitions and filesystems.  It detects it as 32MB as well.
[23:16] <warfaren> add it in /etc/modules?
[23:16] <FloodBot1> !netsplit
[23:17] <warfaren> just add a line at the bottom of /etc/modules with the name of the module, that's all really
[23:17] <nositelicense> !neteven
[23:17] <ResQue> tlhonmey: is the partition not 32MB?
[23:17] <MrUnagi> Odd...
[23:17] <MrUnagi> Nbd is in modules
[23:18] <warfaren> with uppercase like that?
[23:18] <MrUnagi> Why cant fstab mount an nbd
[23:18] <MrUnagi> No
[23:18] <kayaman> autocad for ubuntu
[23:18] <tlhonmey> ResQue:  It's an 8GB micro-SD.  Gparted only reads it as 32MB total, no partition table.
[23:18] <warfaren> k. well that's weird. well anything that's in /etc/modules should be auto-modprobed.
[23:18] <kayaman> autocad for ubuntu
[23:18] <MrUnagi> Let me take out the rc.local and try
[23:18] <warfaren> try disabling your modprobe script and run lsmod after reboot to see if it was modprobed
[23:18] <kayaman> autocad for ubuntu
[23:18] <kayaman> autocad for ubuntu
[23:18] <bazhang> !appdb | kayaman
[23:19] <tlhonmey> ResQue: I was hoping there was an SD diagnostic program, but I've been unable to find one.
[23:19] <bazhang> !equivalents | kayaman
[23:19] <ResQue> tlhonmey: interesting, i do not know what to do sorry.
[23:19] <n2diy> How do I termine which audio device my sys. is using?
[23:19] <kayaman> ubottu, thanks
[23:20] <ResQue> tlhonmey: a good starting place would be to loook at how the linux kernel is seeing the drive. it maybe a hardware issue and not software. i am not sure how to do this try googleing around.
[23:20] <kayaman> ubottu, wasnt help fully
[23:20] <kayaman> ubottu, wasnt help fully
[23:21] <bazhang> kayaman, then ask a real question
[23:21] <MrUnagi> Ok NBC isn't the issue
[23:21] <MrUnagi> Er
[23:21] <MrUnagi> Nbd
[23:21] <kayaman> autocad for ubuntu or equivalent software
[23:21] <bazhang> kayaman, take a look at apt-cache search cad
[23:21] <tlhonmey> ResQue: I'm pretty sure it's hardware.  I'll keep looking for ways around the damage.  Thanks for the help.
[23:22] <n2diy> kayaman, qcad
[23:22] <warfaren> MrUnagi: alright. well i gotta go sleep. hope you work out the problem... good luck
[23:22] <kayaman> n2diy, is name
[23:23] <bazhang> kayaman, yes thats the package name
[23:23] <n2diy> kayaman, qcad is the apps. name.
[23:23] <MrUnagi>  qemu-nbd -c /dev/nbd0 /media/1TB/NewHardDisk1.vdi is the problem
[23:23] <Viman> Hello, is anyone able to run the Midori Browser in Oneiric? I keep getting the "midori: symbol lookup error: midori: undefined symbol: webkit_web_view_get_selected_text" when I try to run it
[23:23] <warfaren> qemu? isn't that an x86 emulator?
[23:23] <MrUnagi> How can I permanently mount that vdi
[23:23] <n2diy> How do I termine which audio device my sys. is using?
[23:24] <StepNjump> Hi, why is it this doesn't work? find . -name "*.jpg" | xargs -i convert -scale 50% {} ./resized/{} ... I get the error : @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2498.
[23:24] <MonkeyDust> StepNjump  for a start, there's no /; in that line
[23:25] <StepNjump> MonkeyDust: you mean in ./resized/?
[23:25] <cchildress> hi all. i'm unable to get the grub boot menu to show up, so i can't pick my other OS. what should i do?
[23:25] <MonkeyDust> StepNjump  {} needs \;
[23:26] <Viman> hello, I'm having problems when trying to run Midori in Oneiric. Anyone else has it?
[23:26] <warfaren> cchildress: edit /etc/default/grub
[23:26] <warfaren> cchildress: comment out the line that says GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT by adding a # to the begging of the line, i believe
[23:26] <MonkeyDust> StepNjump  like so: find / -size +1G -exec ln -s {} ~/test/ \;
[23:26] <cchildress> warfaren: i have. i changed the quiet behavior to false
[23:26] <StepNjump> mmm MonkeyDust I followed a webpage: http://ubuntuhowtos.com/howtos/resize_folder_of_pictures
[23:26] <cchildress> warfaren: hmm...i may not have done that
[23:26] <warfaren> cchildress: then finally, run sudo update-grub
[23:27] <cchildress> ok i'll try that
[23:27] <warfaren> do it :)
[23:27] <cchildress> thanks for the tip
[23:27] <warfaren> no problem. i think that's how i did it
[23:28] <warfaren> cchildress: i think you may want to set HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET to true, if it doesn't work. at least that's what's in my config and i see the grub menu
[23:28] <cchildress> warfaren: not sure if it matters, but i do get an error message during grub.cfg generation, complaining about "wrong # of devices" in a raid set on /dev/sda
[23:28] <cchildress> although i don't have raid on this machine
[23:29] <n2diy> kayaman is bombarding me with pms, how can I stop him?
[23:29] <warfaren> cchildress: that's strange. not sure why it would say that then. no softraid either?
[23:29] <MonkeyDust> !pm
[23:29] <cchildress> warfaren: nope
[23:29] <javierf_> Hi! I'm using Ubuntu but files with greek characters are not read properly... do I have to install Greek language to be able to read it? How would I do that? Thanks!
[23:29] <warfaren> cchildress: maybe you should check it out on google before rebooting your machine, if you dont have a live cd ready
[23:30] <cchildress> warfaren: i do have a live cd, and i've gotten that error before
[23:30] <warfaren> cchildress: it could be hard to boot it if grub gets messed up you know
[23:30] <cchildress> warfaren: but fair warning
[23:30] <cchildress> see you folks in a bit...
[23:30] <n2diy> How do I termine which audio device my sys. is using?
[23:30] <warfaren> cchildress: alright, well i doubt it's related to you not seeing the grub menu. anyways should work now
[23:30] <warfaren> :(
[23:32] <jola> ResQue, I got disconnected after I said "[01:00] <jola> ResQue, but yes, for my laptop it was a new network". did you write anything?
[23:33] <stram> holy shit i've never seen so many homosexuals gathered in one chatroom in my life
[23:33] <nositelicense> Anyone know the work around for no Grub menu? I thought the new driver update might just fix it, but it didn't Been using bios boot choice for a while now.
[23:34] <nositelicense> I get video mode not supported before the grub menu
[23:35] <warfaren> i dont see how video drivers would affect that, dont think theyre even loaded'at the time of grub
[23:37] <nositelicense> That was my 1st thought *shrug* I reinstalled Grub and it finds Windows but I still don;t get the grub menu.  I have to F12 if I want windows
[23:38] <toraux_> any wireless experts able to help me with some wireless issues?
[23:39] <StepNjump> Can anybody help me with this error. Im trying to reduce a jpg size. Here's what I get back: convert: unable to open image `/resized/./Incident 120007.jpg':  @ error/blob.c/OpenBlob/2498.
[23:39] <Xabster> toraux_, how would the wireless expert know?
[23:39] <scientes_> gnome shell and unity dont work since i upgraded to 3.2.0-22
[23:40] <tlhonmey> nositelicense: grub is choosing a screen resolution that's not compatible with your monitor.  I'm not sure how to change the mode, but it should be covered in the documentation.  Set it to VGA 640x480, that should be compatible with just about anything...
[23:40] <toraux_> Xabster, touche... heres the problem: everything works fine right after I start the machine, but time later I get high packet loss, the issue goes away (for a little while) after a reboot
[23:40] <cchildress> warfaren: you, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. i can now choose what i want to boot, win7 boots great, the sky is blue and the world is a happy place again.
[23:40] <cchildress> well, at least at my house it is
[23:41] <warfaren> haha :) good to hear!
[23:41] <scientes_> !ot | cchildress
[23:42] <cchildress> scientes_: actually, i was just reporting back that the support warfaren gave me was correct and worked, but i get your point and will keep off-topic chat elsewhere :)
[23:42] <warfaren> scientes_: i think that was just his extended way of thanking me for my help :P
[23:42] <warfaren> lol
[23:44] <toraux_> anyone have any clue what my wireless issue might be caused by?
[23:44] <scientes_> oh, np
[23:48] <ev_> years ago i had a program that would display the images being loaded through the network.No info as to source of images. It was just a window with whatever images that where being downloaded(browsed via web mostly) Any ideas what it may be called?
[23:48] <MonkeyDust> ev_  picasa?
[23:49] <ev_> MonkeyDust: isnt that the google image deal? brb
[23:51] <ev_> MonkeyDust: nope, thanks for the try. This was more of an undground thing. Think i fist saw it on G4 like 5+ yrs ago. I know this is a shot in the dark but i have googled for like 2 hrs. I cant think of any other words to use....keep getting the same results
[23:56] <ev_> MonkeyDust: the images displayed in a collage format(if enough activity was happening on the network) this was a local network between the box's in my house
[23:58] <austin182> How do you root a Kindle Fire?
[23:59] <compdoc> google is your friend
[23:59] <bastidrazor> austin182: you the force luke
[23:59] <bastidrazor> use..
