Jester45no07:17
Jester45if you meaning a partitioner07:17
Jester45gparted is a nice you can get from repos07:17
nextse7enIts not connected to the internet, unfortunaly.07:17
nextse7enWhat is the command then to format in FAT?07:17
vidd_laptopits on the install disk07:18
nextse7enLol, doesn't have CD-ROM either.07:18
vidd_laptop???07:18
vidd_laptophow did you install?07:18
Jester45can you get files from the internet07:18
nextse7enIts just a motherboard and HD mounted to the desk.07:18
nextse7enNo, its a completly stand alone system.07:18
Jester45so no usb or anything like that07:19
nextse7enWell, It has usb.07:20
Jester45i think you can do mkfs -t ext3 /deb/hdaN07:20
Jester45to format over fat07:20
Jester45or try -t fat32 to make fat07:20
Pumpernickel-t vfat07:21
Jester45or for /dev/hdaN you can use the mount point07:21
nextse7enthanks for the help, I'll try it.07:22
nextse7enDo I need to mount first?07:22
PumpernickelErrr... formatting a mounted partition?07:23
PumpernickelDon't.07:23
Jester45listen to Pumpernickel07:23
nextse7en Hi there, one more question, how do I find out where a hard drive is if it is unformatted or unpartitioned? Is there a way to query for all hard drives attached to the system?07:26
nextse7enweather or not they are mounted?07:26
nextse7enI can't tell if the drive is being recognized at all... its the slave on the primary IDE controller, but fdisk won't open dev/hdb107:28
Jester45run df07:28
Jester45in a terminal07:28
Jester45i think that should unmounted partitions07:29
Pumpernickel/dev/sd* is the new naming convention for all drives.07:29
Jester45why did they do that07:29
nextse7enHmm, I only see hdc1.  Odd that it would show the primard hard drive on the primary ide controller as hdc107:29
nextse7enVery strange, the bios sees the drive, but df does not?07:30

Pumpernickel`df` only deals with filesystem stats.07:33

BFTDyeah09:03
BFTDit took me a few min's to remember how to get there though09:03
BrendanMHijackThis is really useful for tracking down malware too09:03
BFTDthis thing is keeping firefox from working, and is restricting IE from using gmail and yahoo mail09:04
BrendanMdang, even in safe mode?09:05
BrendanMYou could boot from a Linux Live CD and then run ClamAV on it?09:06
BFTDwhich live cd has that on it?09:09
BFTDand no not in safe mode09:09
BFTDit works fine then09:09

TheSheepBen_Cs: to ~/.themes if you only need it for the single user, to /usr/share/themes if you want it to be available for all users on the system04:46

TheSheeptimposey: the grub is instlled?08:39
ablomenwepeel, google for sshfs :)08:40
wepeelablomen, thanks08:40
ablomennp, good luck :)08:40
timposeyTheSheep:  It says that it installed it at the end of the installation.08:40
TheSheep:/08:40
wepeelablomen, hehe, I'll need it. On ubuntu, I'd just go to "places" than work from there08:41
ablomenyeah thats nautilus, thunar doesnt have that (you have to give some stuff away for performance :) )08:41
ablomenbut sshfs is easy enough, there are a lot of walktroughs, and all the apps can use the mounted dir and files in it than, which isnt the case with the way nautilus mounts them08:42
wepeelablomen, ah, I get it. Can I use sshfs through an icon on the Desktop?08:43
wepeeli.e. set a launcher?08:43
ablomenwell i think it will show up becouse its a mounted fs other then the root fs (just like cd's, windows filesystems, cameras etc do) otherwise you can just create a shortcut to the location the ssh fs is mounted to08:44
ablomenso yeah :)08:44
wepeelgotcha08:44
ablomenand you can add it to places etc :)08:44
ablomenthe only thing your going to have to figure out is how to mount it at boot, but i think you can just add it to fstab if my memmory serves me right08:45

TheSheepwepeel: that would be scp08:48
ablomenjust do "sudo mkdir /media/ssh & sudo chown USERNAME /media/ssh" or whatever :)08:48
ablomenor listen to TheSheep :)08:48
ablomenthats a better idea i guess :P08:48
TheSheepwepeel: if it's just single files you want to copy, you can use scp just like you would use normal cp. only prefix the remote files with the host name and colon, like  myhost:somedir/myfile08:50
wepeelYeah, I use scp while ssh'ed into my home machine, but I was just looking for the convenience of having a remote folder I could access whenever I needed something08:51
wepeelchalk one up for nautilus, I suppose08:51
ablomenwepeel, sshfs then :)08:52
TheSheepwepeel: ah, that's sshfs :)08:52
TheSheepwepeel: you need to have the 'fuse' module loaded, I think08:52

cellofellowyes, very11:53
