| Nillerz | If my hard-drive crashes and burns then I'll just hit the salvage heaps but no one throws out a ups | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| thinkmassive | actually a UPS is probably easy to find, just get a new battery | 00:11 |
| thinkmassive | do you keep backups? | 00:12 |
| Nillerz | I'm judging this off the fact that I've seen one UPS in my life but have seen well over a thousand hard-drives | 00:12 |
| Nillerz | Not in a major way, actually, is there a way to access windows networked folders? | 00:12 |
| thinkmassive | samba | 00:12 |
| zoredache | !fusesmb | 00:12 |
| ubottu | fusesmb is a tool that allows easy access to shared folders (smb) on a network. Links with more info: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FuseSmb | 00:12 |
| Nillerz | Okay, here's the plan: I get FuseSmb and my wireless drivers backed up on my 2 gb MP3 player. | 00:13 |
| Nillerz | Then I switch to my XP partition and finish watching a movie I don't feel like backing up | 00:14 |
| Nillerz | Then I re-install EVERYTHING, and use the backedup files on my other computer that is only on when my dad is using it | 00:14 |
| Nillerz | I need to sort through things, so I don't get the Adobe master collection on my linux box, that takes a while, like all iso files... plus it's useless | 00:15 |
| Nillerz | okay, now... crapshoot | 00:16 |

| Nillerz | Is there a way to mount an MP3 player? | 00:17 |
| thinkmassive | a lot of them automount similar to a flash drive | 00:17 |
| Nillerz | which directory would it be in? | 00:17 |
| Nillerz | NVM! | 00:17 |
| Nillerz | that's NIFTY. | 00:17 |
| thinkmassive | you should think of finding a usb hdd enclosure | 00:19 |
| Nillerz | Yeah, I have my eyes on a 250 gig on sale at Radioshack for 100 bucks | 00:19 |
| thinkmassive | if you don't have a problem finding a hdd, salvage one and stick it in the enclosure, then you've got an easy way to move data around | 00:19 |
| thinkmassive | you should be able to get 500GB for $100 | 00:20 |
| Nillerz | Hard drives aren't necessarily easy to find so much as easy to buy for a couple bucks or yardwork | 00:20 |
| Nillerz | wait, really? Where? | 00:20 |
| thinkmassive | I usually use newegg.com | 00:20 |
| thinkmassive | other places might be cheaper, but they're reliable and have good customer service in case something is broken | 00:21 |
| Nillerz | Gah, I need to pay things off first but then, I will keep that in mind | 00:21 |
| Nillerz | I never use Newegg but until now I couldn't buy things off the internet, no bank account. | 00:21 |
| thinkmassive | but I just got 2 external 500GB w/usb 2 + esata for like 95 each | 00:21 |
| Nillerz | Used cash | 00:21 |
| stweston | THANK YOU SO MUCH! | 00:21 |
| thinkmassive | you can buy one of those visa cards | 00:21 |
| thinkmassive | like a visa gift card | 00:21 |
| stweston | I just got an idea for installing xubuntu! | 00:21 |
| thinkmassive | or use a debit card if you have one | 00:21 |
| Nillerz | on an external HD? | 00:22 |
| stweston | no | 00:22 |
| stweston | wait - | 00:22 |
| Nillerz | then going around and playing with it on other people's computers? | 00:22 |
| stweston | I thought of installing it by using my old iPod! | 00:22 |
| Nillerz | :O | 00:22 |
| Nillerz | Can';t you install some linux distros on an iPod? | 00:22 |
| stweston | thank you so much! it's a 2GB iPod Nano - 2nd Gen. | 00:22 |
| stweston | yeah, but that isn't what I"m thinking of... | 00:23 |
| stweston | good idea, tho | 00:23 |
| stweston | I can use the live USB thing | 00:23 |
| stweston | right? | 00:23 |
| stweston | if I format the iPod as a drive? | 00:23 |
| thinkmassive | you could, or you could sell the ipod and probably buy about ten 2gb usb drives with the profit | 00:24 |
| stweston | ... | 00:24 |
| stweston | nah. this is more clever. | 00:24 |
| thinkmassive | haha | 00:24 |
| stweston | the iPod is old. | 00:24 |
| thinkmassive | just saying... | 00:24 |
| thinkmassive | yeah, but people pay a premium for apple stuff | 00:24 |
| stweston | aah | 00:24 |
| stweston | good point. | 00:24 |
| stweston | wait - what exaclty is a premium? | 00:24 |
| stweston | extra? | 00:24 |
| thinkmassive | yes | 00:25 |
| stweston | ok | 00:25 |
| Nillerz | Wait, I have a 2 gig mp3 player, could I use it to store an OS? | 00:25 |
| stweston | well I'll remove the liveUSB thing first. | 00:25 |
| Nillerz | It's just flash media though | 00:25 |
| thinkmassive | that, and you can get 2gb flash for about $8 | 00:25 |
| stweston | my iPod is flash. | 00:25 |
| kriel | Okay, here's a strange question. I tried ripping a CD that was scratched up to all hell. I know, it had to spin down and spin back up a few times, and probably wasn't the best on my CD ROM. | 00:28 |
| kriel | However, ever since I've done that, my system has _dragged._ Like, taking 10-20 seconds to open a music file off the hard drive. | 00:29 |
| kriel | (In other news, does anybody know the hotkey for fullscreen on PuTTY? I clicked the wrong button, and now irssi is my whole screen..) | 00:30 |
| kriel | (Nvm about the PuTTY) | 00:31 |
| Nillerz | o_O | 00:32 |
| Nillerz | That's a weird problem | 00:32 |
| Nillerz | Pity I can't help. Ta ta! | 00:33 |
| kriel | It may not be cause and effect; That's just the immediate thing I... noticed... | 00:33 |
| kriel | what the fuck? | 00:40 |
| kriel | It's even persistent after a reboot. | 00:40 |

| amdpox | dude, there's like, hentai without tits in that forum | 05:07 |
| Nillerz | And yes, I do, as it's said "keep them down" | 05:07 |

| cody-somerville | Please take the offtopic chatter to the offtopic channel please. | 05:07 |
| ubottu | amdpox, please see my private message | 05:07 |
| Nillerz | I backed up the one pag where I was called the man and I privately hosted it | 05:07 |
| STWeston | oh. | 05:07 |
| STWeston | so, how do you view web pages on Ubuntu Server? | 05:08 |
| STWeston | just wondering | 05:08 |
| Nillerz | I know, Nilerz just reminds me of every one I hate. | 05:08 |
| Nillerz | Nillerz is the man. I have to stop his korrupt system! | 05:08 |
| Nillerz | it's a server, why would you? | 05:08 |
| STWeston | LOL | 05:08 |
| STWeston | ... | 05:08 |
| Nillerz | I <3 capitalism | 05:09 |
| Nillerz | free market forevar | 05:09 |
| STWeston | LOL | 05:09 |
| STWeston | that was.... odd. | 05:09 |
| STWeston | what did it say? | 05:10 |
| amdpox | "requested by", love it | 05:10 |
| STWeston | ... | 05:10 |
| STWeston | requested by? | 05:10 |
| Nillerz | Heh | 05:10 |
| STWeston | did you two do this? | 05:10 |
| Nillerz | cody-somerville! I might have known! | 05:10 |
| STWeston | *curses in their general direction* | 05:10 |
| Nillerz | actually I didn't | 05:10 |
| * STWeston curses at amdpox | 05:10 | |
| amdpox | quick, change the topic to debian-based distros using xfce frontends! | 05:11 |
| STWeston | LOL | 05:11 |
| STWeston | good one | 05:11 |
| paul928 | STWeston: to view webpages on the server you might want to install a text-based browser like lynx | 05:12 |
| STWeston | okay | 05:12 |
| STWeston | well, I'm waiting for xubuntu to DL for this install, so it won't matter soon. | 05:12 |
| STWeston | but what's the command for Lynx? | 05:13 |
| amdpox | "lynx" | 05:13 |
| Nillerz | sudo apt-get install lynx ? | 05:13 |
| paul928 | sudo apt-get install lynx | 05:13 |
| STWeston | okay | 05:13 |
| amdpox | I prefer links myself | 05:13 |
| paul928 | elinks? | 05:13 |
| paul928 | that works too | 05:13 |
| Nillerz | I prefer Opera | 05:13 |
| Nillerz | it's totally not a furry | 05:14 |
| amdpox | haha | 05:14 |
| Nillerz | unlike that fox thing... | 05:14 |
| paul928 | opera doesn't work well without a xserver | 05:14 |
| Nillerz | nah | 05:14 |
| STWeston | apparently, because I'm DL'ing the xubuntu GUI, it's not gonna work. | 05:14 |
| Nillerz | ;_; | 05:14 |
| STWeston | sorry, guys | 05:14 |
| paul928 | what won't work? | 05:15 |
| STWeston | DL'ing lynx | 05:15 |
| amdpox | ctrl+c the current apt, then install lynx, then xubuntu again | 05:15 |
| amdpox | it keeps what you've downloaded so far | 05:15 |
| STWeston | okay | 05:15 |
| paul928 | not until you're done with one download | 05:15 |

| amdpox | oh, does it restart incomplete files? | 05:15 |
| amdpox | I thought it did wget -c | 05:16 |
| STWeston | dang it! I just did that. | 05:16 |
| amdpox | sorry :/ | 05:17 |
| amdpox | how much did you lose? | 05:17 |
| STWeston | oh, good. it didn't lose anything! | 05:17 |
| STWeston | it restarted | 05:17 |
| STWeston | I think | 05:17 |
| STWeston | well, I mean, it continued | 05:18 |
| STWeston | now, how do I start Lynx? | 05:18 |
| STWeston | just type lynx? | 05:18 |
| cody-somerville | try? | 05:19 |
| STWeston | or what? | 05:19 |
| STWeston | ... | 05:19 |
| Nillerz | type lynx, see what happense | 05:19 |
| STWeston | okay | 05:19 |
| STWeston | unable to read document | 05:19 |
| STWeston | er... access | 05:20 |
| cody-somerville | STWeston, look, you've been around since 2007. Why are you asking questions you obviously know the answer to? | 05:20 |
| STWeston | 2007? how would you know? | 05:20 |
| Nillerz | because of his own insecurities | 05:20 |
| Nillerz | he's deeply troubled and afraid of rejection | 05:21 |
| STWeston | I just installed my first linux distro this week! | 05:21 |
| Nillerz | i dunno | 05:21 |
| Nillerz | ooooh!!! | 05:21 |
| Nillerz | the plot twists | 05:21 |
| cody-somerville | STWeston, because someone was complaining about you asking questions in #ubuntu-installer and so I join the channel and I don't even have to wait to see who he is talking about because the last time I was in the channel back in December 2007 you were annoying people then too and it was right there in the backlog. | 05:21 |
| STWeston | what? | 05:22 |
| STWeston | I don't remember that. | 05:22 |
| Nillerz | wut | 05:22 |
| STWeston | honestly | 05:22 |
| Nillerz | maybe he had ubuntu installation problems | 05:22 |
| Nillerz | and now that he's solved them he's new again | 05:22 |
| STWeston | the guy was being helpful | 05:22 |
| cody-somerville | :P | 05:23 |
| cody-somerville | I'm going to bed. behave yourselves :P | 05:23 |
| STWeston | okay | 05:23 |
| STWeston | fine. | 05:23 |
| STWeston | but my question still stands. | 05:23 |
| STWeston | how do I start Lynx? | 05:23 |
| Nillerz | lynx | 05:23 |
| STWeston | tried. failed | 05:23 |
| Nillerz | type it, see what ahppans | 05:23 |
| Nillerz | sudo lynx | 05:23 |
| amdpox | what's a lineks? I typed in the letters you said but nothing happens | 05:23 |
| STWeston | still failed. | 05:24 |
| Nillerz | sudo su | 05:24 |
| STWeston | no. it's lynx | 05:24 |
| Nillerz | lynx | 05:24 |
| Nillerz | then get pissy and be like "LYNX!!!" | 05:24 |
| STWeston | LOL | 05:24 |
| amdpox | su -c sudo nohup lynx & | 05:24 |
| STWeston | ... | 05:24 |
| amdpox | DO IT] | 05:24 |
| STWeston | okay | 05:25 |
| STWeston | done... now what? | 05:25 |
| cody-somerville | ... | 05:25 |
| Nillerz | lynx | 05:25 |
| Nillerz | i dunno | 05:25 |
| STWeston | ... | 05:25 |
| Nillerz | ''\(o_O)/'' | 05:26 |
| STWeston | should I just try a website? | 05:26 |
| Nillerz | ye | 05:26 |
| STWeston | okay. how do I do that, then? | 05:26 |
| STWeston | (please pardon my noobishness) | 05:26 |
| knome | ask #lynx | 05:26 |
| STWeston | thanks | 05:26 |
| Nillerz | So then I say "You call this a potato?" | 05:26 |
| paul928 | lynx http://google.com | 05:26 |
| Nillerz | Then, get this: The hooker gave the money back. | 05:26 |
| knome | the big question is: will it blend? | 05:27 |
| Nillerz | A kitten? Easy. | 05:27 |
| saiki | NTFS = sda5 says it's mounted, ntfs-3g is installed, but it won't show up, why? | 05:27 |
| amdpox | I blended a blend-tec blender yesterday | 05:27 |
| amdpox | it was blendy | 05:27 |
| Nillerz | I didn't. It wasn't. | 05:27 |
| amdpox | saiki, more details? | 05:28 |
| Nillerz | how do u get flash in lynx i wan 2 watch utube | 05:28 |
| saiki | i don't have any more details | 05:28 |
| saiki | unless you got something specific you're looking for | 05:29 |
| Nillerz | So I was like "You call this a potato?" Then the hooker gave the money back! | 05:29 |
| amdpox | Nillerz, install libflash2ascii-lynx | 05:29 |
| STWeston | ... | 05:29 |
| amdpox | saiki, mount | grep sda5 | 05:29 |
| Nillerz | o k thx it wokrd | 05:29 |
| STWeston | !ohmy | nillerz | 05:29 |
| Nillerz | phail. | 05:29 |

| knome | STWeston, behave. | 05:30 |
| NCommander | Uh | 05:30 |
| NCommander | HEY! | 05:30 |
| NCommander | cody-somerville, YOU JUST BANNED ME! | 05:30 |
| knome | haha :] | 05:30 |
| knome | -> | 05:30 |
| STWeston | knome: how can I behave if I'm not doing anything bad? | 05:30 |
| cody-somerville | oops | 05:30 |
| NCommander | bah | 05:30 |
| amdpox | overzealous bans are fun | 05:30 |
| NCommander | That idiot was from Rochester? | 05:31 |
| saiki | lol | 05:31 |
| saiki | what didn't work btw | 05:31 |
| NCommander | I should reverse lookup his ass and find him | 05:31 |
| NCommander | There can't be that many Ubuntu users from here | 05:31 |
| STWeston | knome: besides. I'm a teenager. give me some slack. | 05:31 |
| * cody-somerville pokes NCommander back into the developer cage. | 05:31 | |
| * NCommander bites cody-somerville's head off | 05:31 | |
| NCommander | bahahahah | 05:31 |
| saiki | amdpox: that didn't work | 05:33 |
| amdpox | saiki, I wanted the output of that command | 05:33 |
| saiki | none | 05:33 |
| amdpox | uhh, it is sda5, yes? | 05:34 |
| saiki | saiki@saiki-desktop:~$ mount | grep sda5 | 05:34 |
| saiki | saiki@saiki-desktop:~$ sudo mount | grep sda5 | 05:34 |
| saiki | saiki@saiki-desktop:~$ mount | grep sda5 | 05:34 |
| amdpox | no no no, you said the partition you mounted was sda5 | 05:34 |
| amdpox | but it's not | 05:34 |
| saiki | has to be | 05:34 |
| saiki | it shows up as sda5 | 05:35 |
| amdpox | shows up as sda5 where? | 05:35 |
| saiki | I have, oddly.. 5/6/7/8 sdf1 | 05:35 |
| amdpox | logical partitions I'm guessing | 05:35 |
| amdpox | mount -t ntfs /dev/sda5 /some/directory | 05:36 |
| saiki | yea | 05:36 |
| saiki | saiki@saiki-desktop:~$ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda5 /media/sda5 | 05:37 |
| saiki | NTFS signature is missing. | 05:37 |
| saiki | Failed to mount '/dev/sda5': Invalid argument | 05:37 |
| saiki | The device '/dev/sda5' doesn't have a valid NTFS. | 05:37 |
| saiki | Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a | 05:37 |
| saiki | partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around? | 05:37 |
| saiki | saiki@saiki-desktop:~$ | 05:37 |
| amdpox | So, it's not an NTFS partition | 05:38 |
| amdpox | what is it then? | 05:39 |
| STWeston | cody-somerville: the backlog goes back THAT far??? | 05:39 |
| saiki | um.. it IS an ntfs system | 05:39 |
| saiki | but it's missing 4 partions so it looks | 05:40 |
| saiki | 1 is obvious, it's not any recognisable filesystem | 05:40 |
| saiki | how do you take a snapshot in xubutu? | 05:41 |
| saiki | xubuntu* | 05:41 |
| NCommander | saiki, snapshot tool | 05:42 |
| saiki | package name? | 05:42 |
| NCommander | Right click a panel, click add item, then snapshot | 05:42 |
| NCommander | it should be installed in base | 05:42 |
| saiki | thx NCommander | 05:44 |
| NCommander | np | 05:44 |
| saiki | amdpox: http://www.snapdrive.net/files/496157/Screenshot.png | 05:45 |
| amdpox | saiki, can you put the contents of /etc/fstab on a pastebin for me? | 05:47 |
| amdpox | I believe that information comes from fstab, not from the drive itself | 05:47 |
| saiki | sure can | 05:47 |
| saiki | http://pastebin.com/d7f0ed7ad | 05:49 |
| saiki | I have 2 ntfs partions, 2 drives | 05:49 |
| amdpox | oh, ok, interesting | 05:50 |
| saiki | sdf1 and should be another on sda | 05:50 |
| amdpox | odd | 05:50 |
| saiki | sdf = usb hd | 05:51 |
| amdpox | ok, so what's the issue agia? | 05:51 |
| amdpox | *again | 05:51 |
| saiki | internal Vista partion won't mount | 05:51 |
| NCommander | Oh, a rescue parition? | 05:53 |
| saiki | no | 05:57 |
| saiki | dualboot | 05:57 |
| saiki | well... triboot lol | 05:57 |
| saiki | oh wait.. | 05:57 |
| saiki | will xubuntu 32bit NOT mount 64bit parions? | 05:57 |
| saiki | partions* | 05:58 |
| STWeston | I'd think | 05:58 |
| saiki | ? | 05:59 |
| STWeston | I'd think that would be the case | 05:59 |
| saiki | might be why it's not, but I don't see what difference 64 vs 32 bit makes on an external os | 06:00 |
| saiki | ie Vista on linux | 06:00 |
| STWeston | the architecture may be 64bit, therefore linux won't work unless on 64bit as well | 06:01 |
| STWeston | just speculation. | 06:01 |
| saiki | oh that blows | 06:02 |
| STWeston | yeah... | 06:02 |
| saiki | lucky for me, my usb was formatted on 32bit lol | 06:02 |
| STWeston | LOL | 06:02 |
| amdpox | uhhh | 06:02 |
| saiki | ? | 06:03 |
| amdpox | 64-bit architecture doesn't change the filesystem, does it !? | 06:03 |
| STWeston | I think so... maybe. | 06:03 |
| saiki | idk, but that's my only idea as to why it won't | 06:03 |
| STWeston | it's always a possibility. | 06:03 |
| saiki | where's the buntu devs when we need'em? | 06:04 |
| saiki | lol | 06:04 |
| STWeston | dunno. | 06:04 |
| fluxshell | i have a relatively long string i need to paste into terminal but for some reason right click isn't working, isn't there another way i thought i heard someone talking about here one day? | 06:04 |

| STWeston | LOL | 06:05 |
| saiki | ? | 06:07 |
| STWeston | it's an emoticon. <(")> | 06:08 |
| STWeston | kinda. | 06:08 |
| STWeston | <(-.-)> | 06:08 |
| * amdpox slaps STWeston with a wet <(>_<)> | 06:09 | |
| * STWeston does something back to amdpox | 06:09 | |
| * amdpox gasps | 06:10 | |
| * saiki grabs a 2x4 and wacks'em both | 06:10 | |
| STWeston | well, that was nice, saiki. | 06:10 |
| amdpox | very nice. | 06:10 |
| STWeston | </sarcasm> | 06:10 |
| amdpox | </tsarchasm> | 06:10 |
| saiki | solves the issue, does it not? | 06:10 |
| saiki | lol | 06:10 |
| STWeston | LOL | 06:10 |
| STWeston | gd pt. | 06:11 |
| amdpox | watch out, or i'll tell rms you use proprietary software | 06:11 |
| STWeston | LOL | 06:11 |

| STWeston | I just got the proprietary software part. | 06:11 |

| STWeston | the CD-ROM drive and front end and stuff are facing the back of my desk. | 06:14 |
