[12:19] <nalioth> jrib: c'mon and bring him here to share the bad news . .  .
[12:20] <kraypius> hel
[12:20] <kraypius> o
[12:20] <jrib> when you say "web dev", does that mean /var/www?
[12:21] <kraypius> no, its a fat32 partition i made so i can edit my web sites on both win and ubuntu
[12:21] <kraypius>  /media/SHARE
[12:21] <kraypius> /dev/sda4
[12:21] <nalioth> kraypius: fat32 doesn't respond to chmod
[12:21] <jrib> kraypius: ah ok, in this case we just need to make sure that partition gets mounted with proper permissions.  Can you paste the relevant line from your /etc/fstab?
[12:22] <nalioth> kraypius: please don't ever chmod -R your linux directories
[12:22] <kraypius> /dev/sda4 /media/SHARE vfat rw,umask=000 0 0
[12:22] <kraypius> all other folders in /media/share are fine
[12:22] <kraypius> but /media/share/webs is locked for writing
[12:23] <jrib> that should be working.  Try unmounting and mounting it again with this command:  sudo umount /dev/sda4 && sudo mount /dev/sda4
[12:24] <kraypius> device is busy
[12:24] <kraypius> dont know why it would be busy
[12:24] <kraypius> nm there it goes
[12:24] <kraypius> okay its fine now
[12:25] <kraypius> so my chmod didnt bork anything up?
[12:25] <jrib> kraypius: nope, fat32 doesn't actually store any permission info
[12:25] <kraypius> k
[12:25] <jrib> why not use ext3 btw?
[12:26] <kraypius> because windows needs to play nice
[12:26] <nalioth> jrib: shared drive? vestigial windows storage partition?
[12:26] <jrib> kraypius: you can read and write to ext3 in windows using fs-driver.org if you are interested
[12:27] <kraypius> cool
[12:27] <nalioth> i would not trust it
[01:26] <kjempe> seems more quiet here
[01:26] <jrib> yes
[01:26] <jrib> where did you get this script btw?
[01:26] <kjempe> the script worked well and was delivered with a remova-script
[01:26] <kjempe> then i tried a different howto
[01:27] <kjempe> the removal-instructions that wrecked my firefox were these: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion#head-51054869b8a40ea50859b0163c806e76f882499c
[01:27] <jrib> you still have diversions
[01:27] <kjempe> yes
[01:27] <jrib> but part of the removal process there is to remove diversions
[01:28] <kjempe> i then tried to reinstall firefox by synaptic, which didn't work
[01:28] <kjempe> oh, sorry i misunderstood diversions
[01:28] <jrib> kjempe: what is the output of this command:  dpkg-divert --list '*firefox*'
[01:28] <kjempe> i have no firefox-diversions whatsoever in my /usr/bin
[01:28] <kjempe> local diversion of /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu to /usr/bin/firefox
[01:29] <kjempe> neither exist
[01:29] <jrib> because you deleted the files, you shouldn't do that.  The package manager knows nothing about what you do with rm
[01:29] <kjempe> yes, i was afraid that'd be by mistake
[01:29] <jrib> do this:  sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/bin/firefox
[01:29] <jrib> any errors?
[01:30] <kjempe> No diversion `any diversion of /usr/bin/firefox', none removed
[01:30] <jrib> kjempe: sudo touch /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu
[01:31] <kjempe> still nothing
[01:31] <jrib> now try sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/bin/firefox
[01:31] <kjempe> same output
[01:31] <jrib> ok lets try: sudo touch /usr/bin/firefox
[01:31] <jrib> and then... sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/bin/firefox
[01:31] <kjempe> maybe i oughta touche /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu and the diversion /usr/bin/firefox
[01:32] <jrib> right, I was just curious about how it worked so I wanted to do it step by step :)
[01:32] <kjempe> ok
[01:32] <kjempe> last step still gives the same output
[01:32] <jrib> gives error?
[01:32] <jrib> erm
[01:32] <kjempe> no
[01:33] <kjempe> just No diversion `any diversion of /usr/bin/firefox', none removed
[01:33] <jrib> hmm, what about sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu
[01:33] <kjempe> ok
[01:33] <jrib> that worked?
[01:34] <kjempe> i touched /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu and did sudo ln /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu /usr/bin/firefox
[01:34] <kjempe> now i'll try the sudo dpkg-divert thing
[01:34] <kjempe> output: No diversion `any diversion of /usr/bin/firefox', none removed
[01:34] <kjempe> aaah
[01:35] <kjempe> Removing `local diversion of /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu to /usr/bin/firefox'
[01:35] <kjempe> yes....
[01:35] <kjempe> thanks a whole bunch of lots!
[01:35] <jrib> ok
[01:35] <kjempe> it worked!
[01:35] <kjempe> great
[01:35] <kjempe> i'll keep from fiddling with those files from now on, i guess
[01:35] <jrib> kjempe: get rid of the /usr/bin/firefox and /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu now
[01:35] <jrib> since they are empty
[01:36] <kjempe> /usr/bin/firefox starts firefox 2.0 now
[01:36] <kjempe> weird
[01:37] <kjempe> man, this is what i love about linux
[01:37] <jrib> you've lost me, did you do something after we removed the diversion?
[01:38] <kjempe> i did the following
[01:38] <kjempe> i touched /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu and created the diversion /usr/bin/firefox
[01:38] <kjempe> then i did sudo dpkg-divert --remove /usr/bin/firefox.ubuntu
[01:39] <kjempe> and finally sudo apt-get install -f
[01:39] <jrib> ah ok
[01:39] <jrib> kjempe: but are you on dapper or edgy?
[01:39] <kjempe> dapper
[01:39] <kjempe> waiting for feisty
[01:39] <jrib> strange, i thought dapper didn't have firefox 2.0
[01:39] <jrib> !info firefox dapper
[01:39] <ubotu> firefox: lightweight web browser based on Mozilla. In component main, is optional. Version 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.10-0ubuntu0.6.06.2 (dapper), package size 7761 kB, installed size 22992 kB
[01:40] <kjempe> it doesn't
[01:40] <kjempe> that's why i messed around with the .tar-gz from mozilla
[01:40] <jrib> but how is /usr/bin/firefox starting 2.0?
[01:41] <kjempe> i did create a diversion from /opt/firefox/firefox to /usr/bin/firefox but that was before all the trouble started
[01:41] <jrib> ok well as long as you understand and have it working I guess
[01:42] <kjempe> at least i got it working, understanding is a bit tricky
[01:43] <kjempe> /usr/lib/firefox/firefox starts firefox 2.0 as well, which is weird
[01:43] <jrib> kjempe: dpkg -S /usr/lib/firefox/firefox
[01:43] <kjempe> what does it do?
[01:43] <jrib> that will tell you what package owns that file
[01:44] <kjempe> firefox
[01:44] <jrib> apt-cache policy firefox
[01:45] <kjempe> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10601/
[01:46] <jrib> ok maybe dapper just incorporates 2.0 updates and calls it 2.0, that's just my guess
[01:47] <kjempe> hm
[01:47] <kjempe> i dunno
[01:47] <kjempe> now i'll have to redo all the plugins and stuff
[01:48] <jrib> yeah
[01:48] <kjempe> damn
[01:48] <jrib> your extensions should still be there though
[01:48] <kjempe> yes
[01:48] <kjempe> they are
[01:51] <kjempe> god
[01:51] <kjempe> but at least the browser is working again
[01:51] <kjempe> thanks again
[01:51] <kjempe> where are you from btw?
[01:52] <jrib> US
[01:52] <kjempe> ah, ok
[01:56] <kjempe> i'll start setting firefox up now
[01:56] <kjempe> thanks for the help and good bye!
[01:56] <jrib> bye
[02:02] <kraypius> is there a device manager that can enable/disable devices?
[02:09] <kraypius> or better yet how do you disable a device?
[02:09] <kraypius> i need to disable my touch pad
[02:16] <jrib> kraypius: #ubuntu is a better place to get help.  There usually isn't anyone active in this room
[02:17] <jrib> kraypius: you can try 'synclient'
[02:22] <kraypius> what about xorg.conf?
[04:43] <F00> hey StoneNote
[04:43] <StoneNote> hey F00
[04:43] <F00> have you ever used VHCS
[04:43] <StoneNote> no
[04:44] <F00> hmm
[04:44] <F00> if i give you access
[04:44] <F00> can you install ispconfig
[04:45] <F00> with all these package things
[04:46] <StoneNote> no brother, I can't. I'm just answering a few question in the other channel in between compiles. good luck.  you should paste the whole long error you are getting when you try to compile into pastebin and then ask for help. you're not giving enough information to diagnose the specific problem
[05:06] <jrib> a1a121: hi
[05:06] <a1a121> hey
[05:06] <jrib> what is the output of this command: mount
[05:06] <a1a121> look all i need is to copy some files on my desktop to my windows partition (im on livecd)
[05:07] <a1a121> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10621/
[05:07] <jrib> a1a121: yes, but I want to understand why /media is in its current state
[05:07] <a1a121> this is the output
[05:07] <jrib> a1a121: don't mount to /media, mount to a subdirectory of /media
[05:08] <jrib> after you do that, then we can set the proper permissions
[05:08] <a1a121> i know, it was my mistake :p
[05:08] <jrib> a1a121: how did you mount it?  Did you use a 'mount' command or just a line in /etc/fstab?
[05:09] <a1a121> a mount command
[05:09] <a1a121> i umounted it now
[05:09] <jrib> a1a121: ok, is there anything in /media now?
[05:10] <a1a121> i can list it
[05:10] <a1a121> cypher1 is helping me @ #ubuntu
[05:10] <jrib> so you have stuff like cdrom, floppy, etc?
[05:11] <a1a121> nah
[05:11] <a1a121> only my windows partition mounted in /media
[05:12] <jrib> you should unmount it and do it properly in a subdirectory of /media, then you can use ntfs-3g to write.  But mount it properly first
[05:12] <jrib> !ntfs3g
[05:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ntfs3g - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:12] <jrib> !ntfs-3g
[05:12] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but please remember to keep backups of critical data. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[05:13] <a1a121> can i install it on livecd?
[05:14] <jrib> a1a121: you should be able to.  But if you just want a livecd to write to ntfs, I'm sure you can find a livecd that does that ootb
[05:14] <a1a121> bash: deb: command not found
[05:14] <a1a121> i get this
[05:15] <jrib> read what it says, don't just copy commands
[05:33] <a1a121> jrib: i just installed ntfs-3g, how do i move something from my desktop to my win partition?
[05:33] <jrib> a1a121: please don't double post questions, that's annoying
[05:36] <a1a121> jrib: im just trying to get an answer asap
[05:36] <jrib> so is everyone else
[05:36] <a1a121> when i do cp
[05:36] <a1a121> i get this
[05:36] <jrib> it doesn't help if you ask the same question in two channels
[05:37] <a1a121> cp: cannot create regular file `/media/RTL1xxx_1.02.pkg.zip': Read-only file system
[05:37] <jrib> then two people try to help you instead of helping someone else
[05:37] <jrib> a1a121: I've never used ntfs-3g, #ubuntu is your best bet
[05:37] <a1a121> okay thanks
[07:34] <F00> hey. Thanks
