| nikolam | tryed that | 08:34 |
| nikolam | umount2: Device or resource busy | 08:35 |

| siggjen | you have no thunar windows or anything with DVD drive contenst? | 08:35 |
| siggjen | maybe a bash session in /media/cdrom0 ? | 08:36 |
| nikolam | I killed that bash process | 08:36 |
| nikolam | kill -9 9491 | 08:36 |
| nikolam | and now i can umount :) | 08:36 |

| nobbi | Hi @ all | 09:40 |
| nobbi | I need some help | 09:40 |
| nobbi | I can't mount my 8 GB SD Card on my eee pc | 09:41 |
| nobbi | Hello, is there anybode here? | 09:42 |
| nobbi | anybody | 09:42 |
| siggjen | nobbi: how did you try to mount the sd card? | 09:44 |
| nobbi | per Terminal | 09:47 |
| siggjen | which command? | 09:47 |
| nobbi | Had find some sites in the net and I was following the instructions | 09:47 |
| nobbi | sudo nano -l | 09:48 |
| nobbi | I | 09:48 |
| nobbi | #ve forgotten the rest | 09:48 |
| siggjen | you got the url for the site? | 09:49 |
| nobbi | it's so hard for a linux newbie | 09:49 |
| nobbi | just a moment, I try to find out | 09:49 |
| siggjen | i'd mount a sd card with something like this: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/mountpoint | 09:51 |
| siggjen | ofcourse depending on the sd card being in /dev/sdb1 | 09:51 |
| nobbi | mount: mount point /media/mountpoint does not exist | 09:55 |
| siggjen | make it then | 09:55 |
| siggjen | or change to a mountpoint that suits you better | 09:55 |
| nobbi | How to do? | 09:55 |
| siggjen | mkdir /media/mountpoint | 09:56 |
| siggjen | /media/mountpoint is the path to the folder where you want to mount the drive | 09:56 |
| siggjen | you can place it many places | 09:56 |
| siggjen | you might need to put a sudo in fornt of that command | 09:57 |
| siggjen | s/fornt/front/ | 09:58 |
| nobbi | At the moment, it work | 09:58 |
| nobbi | The ( GB sd card is mounted | 09:58 |
| nobbi | 8 GB | 09:58 |
| siggjen | you might want to put it in /etc/fstab | 09:59 |
| siggjen | try to read man fstab | 09:59 |
| siggjen | and google it | 09:59 |
| nobbi | I try to find out | 09:59 |
| nobbi | It's easier for me in german | 10:00 |
| siggjen | man is a nice command to learn about things | 10:00 |
| helpme | sdfds | 10:54 |
| helpme | is there any one willing to help me | 10:55 |
| helpme | with some irc problem | 10:55 |

| AC0RNZ | yo guys, im looking for progrram that can like.... rar a huge iso file, but mark it up into like .... 2 areas both 500mb... then wen i click extract on part 1... it will extract part2 also and make the iso again | 16:45 |
| keb | if you use rar with the -v500M option it will make such a multivolume archive | 16:48 |
| keb | then unrar will rebuild if you have all the pieces | 16:49 |
| keb | i dunno of a graphical client for rar | 16:49 |
| AC0RNZ | 9,is | 16:49 |
| AC0RNZ | wait, how do i get rar with the -v500M? | 16:50 |
| keb | full description of options is in /usr/share/doc/rar/rar.txt.gz | 16:50 |
| AC0RNZ | ok | 16:51 |
| nikolam | hi | 18:34 |
| nikolam | does anyone here uses linux software raid1 | 18:34 |
| nikolam | I installed my xubuntu a year ago o software raid1 partition i made during setup | 18:36 |
| nikolam | and i had another raid0 partition | 18:37 |
| nikolam | Now i decided to turn raid0 to raid1 | 18:37 |
| keb | /dev/md0: 54.38GiB raid1 2 devices, 0 spares. | 18:37 |
| keb | :) | 18:37 |
| nikolam | and i have done cat /proc/mdstat http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62341/ | 18:38 |
| nikolam | Now I see that my system md0 raid1 is not the same labeled as md2 i just created! | 18:38 |
| nikolam | hi keb | 18:38 |
| nikolam | :) | 18:38 |
| nikolam | keb would you please look at the pastebin and tell me why md0 is different then md2 i just created? | 18:39 |
| nikolam | is md0 cofigured right here at me, as 2 devices, 0 spares like you? | 18:40 |
| nikolam | or setup that uses md2 now is the same as yours? | 18:40 |
| nikolam | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62341/ | 18:40 |
| keb | looks like you didnt add the sda6 partitions to the md0 assemly | 18:40 |
| nikolam | just a sec, sda6 and sdb6 are parts of md2 assembly | 18:41 |
| keb | you have three partitions: sda5, sda6, sdb6 | 18:41 |
| keb | do you want all of them in a raid1? | 18:41 |
| nikolam | ahaaaa sdb5 is not even ADDED to RAID??? aaah | 18:41 |
| nikolam | oh, now i see, i lived in oblivion through all of las year with md0 raid1 with not actually using raid1 aaah | 18:42 |
| keb | hehe | 18:42 |
| nikolam | ok, I will tranfer all of my system to md2 anyway | 18:43 |
| keb | well at least your sdb5 partition is nice and rested | 18:43 |
| nikolam | aaaah keb keb, you are hurting me aaaah | 18:44 |
| nikolam | ;I)) | 18:44 |
| keb | :) | 18:44 |
| nikolam | Ok, I am just not shure why that was the case | 18:44 |
| nikolam | I made that raid during setup of ubuntu | 18:45 |
| nikolam | xubuntu | 18:45 |
| Stroganoff | xubuntu is too slow ;) | 18:45 |
| Stroganoff | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=741631&page=2 | 18:45 |
| nikolam | Ok, I have one more question, | 18:45 |
| nikolam | If I want to make sda5 and sdb5 like, separate normal partitions, | 18:46 |
| nikolam | so that i can use whole space there, should i use raid0 for that | 18:47 |
| nikolam | or can i make them have data on them in a normal fashion | 18:47 |
| nikolam | but to make them and act like a single device? | 18:47 |
| keb | nikolam : either raid0 or lvm | 18:48 |
| keb | lvm has lower risk of failure | 18:48 |
| nikolam | should i mess up with lvm, could i continue to use md2 as raid1 and use lvm at the same time | 18:49 |
| nikolam | i never used lvm | 18:49 |
| keb | raid0 should be faster | 18:49 |
| keb | lvm comes installed with xubuntu, but i never figured out how to set it up | 18:50 |
| nikolam | Yes, but i am thinking, if I loose one drive, not to loose all data, but just to make them adressed as one drive | 18:50 |
| nikolam | I have no experience with lvm , also i am not shure how 2 xp installations would like lvm on drive beside 2 ubuntus | 18:51 |
| keb | yes that would be lvm, they are just blocks of storage catenated. with raid0 they are striped and one drive going down means lose all data | 18:51 |
| nikolam | and lvm on top | 18:51 |
| nikolam | Ok, to me lvm sounds better for semi-important data | 18:51 |
| keb | oh you mean combine storage of md0 and md2? | 18:51 |
| nikolam | no no, i will break md0 to eather raid0 or vvm with system and important data on md2 as raid1 | 18:52 |
| keb | Stroganoff is that the new xubuntu install | 18:53 |
| Stroganoff | nope | 18:54 |
| nikolam | no, I am using is since 7.10 came out | 18:54 |
| nikolam | I plan just to copy whole system to new md2 mount it as root restart an delete md0 | 18:55 |
| nikolam | Hi | 19:45 |
| nikolam | If I just copy whole system to another partition | 19:46 |
| nikolam | and change /etc/fstab and grub settings | 19:46 |
| nikolam | will it be enough to migrate linux from one partition to another? | 19:46 |
| keb | you also have to run grub | 19:47 |
| nikolam | yes. | 19:47 |
| nikolam | cp all fix fstab, fix /boot/grub/menu.lst | 19:47 |
| nikolam | and that is it? | 19:48 |
| nikolam | if I just copy, will it also kopu appropriate permisions? | 19:48 |
| nikolam | Both partitions are ext3 | 19:48 |
| keb | you can use dd to copy partitions | 19:49 |
| nikolam | new partition is smaller. I will not copy part of /home | 19:49 |
| keb | i am not sure about the special files like /dev | 19:50 |
| nikolam | me neaither | 19:50 |
| nikolam | maybe i should use cp --preserve | 19:51 |
| zoredache_ | use rsync | 20:04 |
| zoredache_ | rsync -a src dst | 20:04 |
| zoredache_ | or or tar with a command like 'tar -c . | tar -C /dst -x' | 20:04 |
| === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache | ||
| nikolam | rsync would be great. | 20:07 |
| nikolam | I just need to make src partition to have less data then dst | 20:07 |
| nikolam | or maybe tar would be better in this case | 20:08 |
| keb | there should be an exclude parameter to rsync | 20:08 |
| nikolam | it would be very nice | 20:09 |
| keb | check the man page ;) | 20:10 |
| nikolam | i checked: should rsync -a / /md2--exclude=/home do the trick? | 20:12 |
| zoredache | you would probably want a space after the md2... you might also want to through in a -v so you see what is going on | 20:17 |
| redwhitewaldo | how do i import my photos with xubuntu 8.04beta/ | 22:08 |
| redwhitewaldo | ? | 22:08 |
| keb | plug in the camera to usb, an icon should show up on the desktop, copy the files... | 22:09 |
| redwhitewaldo | keb: i plugged in camera to usb, powered on camera, but no icon on desktop | 22:10 |
| redwhitewaldo | my camera worked in ubuntu 7.10 | 22:10 |
| keb | hmm | 22:10 |
| redwhitewaldo | do i need a special program? | 22:10 |
| keb | not likely | 22:11 |
| redwhitewaldo | when i plug in my iPod, i see an icon on desktop, but not with my digicam | 22:11 |
| keb | if you do 'lsusb' in a terminal does it show the camera plugged in? | 22:11 |
| redwhitewaldo | yes | 22:11 |

| keb | yes. not sure what now | 22:15 |

| Salix_ | keb: Yes, in review mode. | 22:30 |

| keb | if you do 'lsusb' in a terminal does it show the camera plugged in? | 22:32 |
| keb | another fellow here has the same problem | 22:33 |
| siggjen | mkdir /media/camera; mount /dev/sdb1 /media/camera | 22:33 |
| redwhitewaldo | Salix_: (make sure you power on comp before trying the lsusb command | 22:33 |
| siggjen | might work | 22:33 |
| Salix_ | keb: "lsusb" finds it. | 22:34 |
| redwhitewaldo | folks, what's the Xubuntu equivalent of Ubuntu's "Places / Computer"? | 22:36 |
| siggjen | thunar isn't that bad starting point | 22:36 |
| Salix_ | siggjen: /dev/sdb1 doesn't exist | 22:38 |
| siggjen | maybe it's /dev/sda1 instead | 22:38 |
| siggjen | i'd browse /dev/sd* to check | 22:38 |
| Salix_ | siggjen: /dev/sda1 seems to be OK | 22:39 |

| redwhitewaldo | keb: how can i figure that out? | 22:46 |
| keb | well your lsusb is saying PTP so i'm guessing it does | 22:47 |

| redwhitewaldo | TheSheep: oh, yeah. I have the places plugin already there, right between "applications" and firefox icon | 22:47 |
| keb | PC = USB mass storage mode, PTP = Picture Transfer Protocol mode | 22:49 |
| redwhitewaldo | keb, oh yeah, so i guess my camera has a PTP setting. | 22:50 |
| redwhitewaldo | keb, how can i figure out whether my camera has a PC (USB mass storage mode) setting? | 22:50 |
| Salix_ | keb: I don't have /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libgphoto2.rules | 22:50 |
| keb | redwhitewaldo : the manual for the camera maybe | 22:51 |
| keb | Salix_ yeah that may have changed in 8.04beta. is gphoto2 installed? | 22:51 |
| siggjen | «lsmod | grep usb_storage» could tell if the module is loaded or not | 22:53 |
| Salix_ | keb: Khm... No. I checked only libgphoto2-2 but forgot to check gphoto2 (and gtkam). They're not installed yet. That should be the next step, right? | 22:54 |
| keb | Salix_ maybe. your system should see the camera without those apps | 22:55 |
| redwhitewaldo | keb: the manual (http://www.retrevo.com/search/f/d/742a0e086fc8fb40748d194346461e14.pdf?email=) doesn't say anything about it being a PC/USB camera | 22:55 |
| Salix_ | keb: Would you recommend to try to give a try with gphoto2 or rather to find the reason seeing the camera only from "lsusb"? | 22:57 |
| keb | if you have a memory card reader in the computer, you can try taking out the memory card from the camera and plugging it directly into the computer | 22:57 |
| keb | assuming the slot is the same type | 22:58 |
| redwhitewaldo | assuming that my camera (powershot a60) is a PTP camera and not a PC/USB-Mass_storage camera, what should i do now? | 22:58 |
| redwhitewaldo | ...to get pics from cam to comp? | 22:58 |
| keb | Salix_ : i would try to figure out what is wrong before complicating the situation with more software | 22:59 |
| redwhitewaldo | hi, keb. i don't think my canon powershot a60 can do USB-mass_storage mode. I think my camera can only do PTP mode. What is the next step? 8-( | 23:00 |
| redwhitewaldo | 8-) | 23:00 |
| keb | redwhitewaldo : i don't know. google around for PTP support and ubuntu. i have to go to meeting so good luck | 23:02 |
| redwhitewaldo | keb, my cam says it DOES have ptp. so why do we need to search for that? | 23:02 |
| keb | well the question is how to use the PTP in xubuntu | 23:03 |
| redwhitewaldo | i see | 23:03 |
| redwhitewaldo | keb, are you saying that xubuntu doesn't have as good digital camera support as ubuntu? | 23:03 |
| keb | redwhitewaldo not saying that | 23:04 |
