| rhpot1991 | that remote seems interesting, they need to provide some images of it too | 05:00 |

| vbc | I have a question.. hopefully somebody can help | 06:03 |
| vbc | muthbuntu seems to freeze when it loads the gui portion of the OS on startup.. but normal ubuntu or kubuntu has no problems on my system | 06:04 |
| vbc | is there any issues with xfce desktop in this area? | 06:04 |
| vbc | ok.. well should I just switch to another myth distro? | 06:13 |
| vbc | looking for the easiest solution to get my kworld atsc 115 going | 06:13 |
| vbc | and totalmedia on win is trash | 06:13 |
| superm1 | vbc, try recovery mode | 06:15 |
| superm1 | and see if you have more luck booting | 06:15 |
| superm1 | or at least be able to look at logs to see where the freeze is happening | 06:15 |
| superm1 | and what's causing it | 06:15 |
| vbc | ok I'll try it right now | 06:16 |
| vbc | brb | 06:16 |
| vbc | how do I do recovery mode on the live cd? | 06:19 |
| vbc | I can't even install | 06:19 |
| vbc | well I gotta run, I'll keep trying it.. thx | 06:25 |

| Lunar_Lamp | I have just two tv-aerial points in my house. Both of which are in rooms where I do not want a loud backend mythtv box running. So, I can try and build a nice quiet combined back/front end box, but I'm left wondering - is it possible to build a very minimal machine that has just the tvcard and minimal spec (thus quiet) that then offloads it's work to a power-house backend over the network? | 12:25 |
| Lunar_Lamp | It would seem that I can use multiple backends happily, but I want to know if there are any minimum specs for the minimal-backend I want as it would be the only one with a TVcard. | 12:27 |
| giver | hello | 14:08 |
| giver | I'm trying to install mythbuntu,and installation finishes,but freeze at restart | 14:09 |
| giver | can anybody help? | 14:09 |
| ronny__ | Hi all, I just installed Mythbuntu-8.04 on a offline system (no Internet, just TV) with a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 350. Everything looks fine but I just can not switch channels!!?? I googled a bit but all I tried failed here. Is there a way to find and fix the problem? | 14:15 |
| oobe | Lunar_Lamp, i would post this question in a forum cause there are many different answers that are in fact correct but also just a matter of opinion | 14:19 |
| oobe | i dont see any reason why you can do that depending on what you consider minimal | 14:19 |
| oobe | do you want to playback hdtv | 14:20 |
| oobe | will the network be wired or unwired? why dont you try installing a new aerial socket ( its actually cheaper and easier than building and maintaining a backend) | 14:21 |
| giver | anyone have any idea why this pc cant restart from mythbuntu install or from live cd? | 14:21 |
| oobe | giver you could try acpioff | 14:21 |
| giver | new in this,to tell the truth | 14:22 |
| giver | where can I read about acpioff | 14:22 |
| oobe | try running the cd boot options | 14:22 |
| oobe | and select noapic | 14:22 |
| oobe | forget i said acpioff that was a mistake | 14:22 |
| giver | noapic | 14:22 |
| oobe | also just try the basic install | 14:23 |
| giver | is some option in the splash screen? | 14:23 |
| oobe | before the splash screen | 14:23 |
| oobe | the are options to edit its boot paremeter | 14:23 |
| giver | it only show the pc slash screen,then boot into mythbuntu spash screen | 14:24 |
| giver | have some selections | 14:24 |
| giver | but don;t see anything related to noapic | 14:24 |
| oobe | you can type it in manually | 14:25 |
| giver | humm,trying to understand,there is no console to write into, | 14:25 |
| giver | onlt start with selecting language | 14:25 |
| giver | then timezone | 14:25 |
| giver | then spalsh screen with selections | 14:26 |
| giver | no prompt | 14:26 |
| giver | this is mythbuntu 8.041 | 14:26 |
| giver | into an amd64 machine | 14:26 |
| oobe | giver this thread should help you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=591443 | 14:26 |
| giver | ok,I'll read it | 14:27 |
| giver | ok,that's something to try | 14:29 |
| giver | while I don;t have a black screen | 14:29 |
| giver | I do have on board video | 14:29 |
| oobe | yeah sorry i though the thread was refering to booting the cd | 14:30 |
| oobe | but its talking about an installed system | 14:30 |
| oobe | anyway when you boot the cd it should let you press F6 key or F5 im going off memory | 14:31 |
| oobe | to edit the boot options | 14:31 |
| oobe | dont remove anything just add noapic to the end | 14:31 |
| giver | ok,still can't see the boot options | 14:32 |
| giver | let me get there | 14:32 |
| giver | I do see safe graphics mode,selected | 14:33 |
| giver | then went to other options (F6) | 14:33 |
| giver | then it booted the cd | 14:33 |
| giver | didn;t give me time to see boot options | 14:33 |
| giver | the main problem I see is that like now,I try to restart to go again to those options,but shut down and restart only freeze at the slapsh screen | 14:35 |
| giver | it never restart or shut down | 14:35 |
| giver | have to remove the power to start again | 14:35 |
| giver | which is actually the main problem I have | 14:35 |
| giver | I can install mythbuntu no problems,goes all the way to the end | 14:36 |
| giver | but won;t restart | 14:36 |
| giver | maybe this is disabled in bios? | 14:36 |
| giver | is there any setting in bios to stop the shutdown? | 14:36 |
| giver | ok,trying the noapic option | 14:55 |
| giver | is at 95% of the install | 14:55 |
| giver | I suspect the same thing will happen and won;t restart | 14:55 |
| oobe | i think it may be installing fine but you cant boot it properly until you edit you grub options | 15:00 |
| oobe | press the esc key when you boot it for the first time then edit your boot options | 15:01 |
| giver | well,the next time I start the live cd,I go to terminal and cfdisk show me no partitions,only the large hard drive | 15:01 |
| giver | like nothing was written to it | 15:01 |
| oobe | oh | 15:01 |
| giver | but | 15:01 |
| oobe | i dont know then | 15:01 |
| giver | if I don;t restart after the install,I can go to cfdisk and see the swap and boot parition | 15:02 |
| oobe | you can always install xubuntu the sudo apt-get install mythbuntu-desktop | 15:02 |
| giver | this is without restart it | 15:02 |
| giver | I should check the bios,I guess,maybe something preventing the restart | 15:02 |
| giver | but is all chinise | 15:02 |
| giver | chinese | 15:02 |
| oobe | wow | 15:03 |
| giver | can't find a combo to get into bios | 15:03 |
| giver | has some kind of pass | 15:03 |
| giver | only went there once | 15:03 |
| oobe | you might want to restet the cmos using the jumper | 15:03 |
| giver | and all seemed norma; | 15:03 |
| giver | I should,yes | 15:03 |

| videorechner | hi how can I check if there is a mysql database on my system? | 16:47 |
| videorechner | hi i had to reboot but still: how can I see whether a mysql database is up? | 17:06 |
| giver | humm,downloaded unbuntu and this one does restar,still,don;t boot from the hard drive,nothing was written,drive has no partitions | 17:06 |
| giver | installation went through ok | 17:07 |
| giver | but no OS is into the hard drive | 17:08 |
| giver | always ask for the cd to boot | 17:09 |
| videorechner | maybe its a grub related problem? | 17:09 |
| rhpot1991 | videorechner: dpkg -l mysql-server |grep ^ii | 17:09 |
| videorechner | rhpot thx | 17:10 |
| rhpot1991 | dpkg -l mythtv-database |grep ^ii | 17:10 |
| rhpot1991 | is useful as well | 17:10 |
| giver | my question is,grub is not installed,in fact,nothing is written,how could I fix something that's not written? | 17:10 |
| giver | ok,now gives me the option to keep using live cd | 17:11 |
| rhpot1991 | giver: do you have any other hard drives on the system or usb devices or anything? | 17:11 |
| giver | no | 17:11 |
| giver | only the sata hard drive | 17:11 |
| giver | a 60 gb seagate | 17:11 |
| rhpot1991 | you actually went through the install process and not just into the live cd? | 17:11 |
| giver | well,I booted from the live dc | 17:12 |
| giver | cd | 17:12 |
| giver | then went through all the installation | 17:12 |
| rhpot1991 | boot back to the live cd and check the HD to see if there are files on it | 17:12 |
| videorechner | http://pastebin.com/m413e673d does this mean there is database I can use for mythtv? | 17:12 |
| giver | went throguh without problems,ask me to restart to use the new installation,or keep in live cd | 17:12 |
| giver | that's what i said,the hard drive doesn't boot | 17:13 |
| rhpot1991 | videorechner: well it means the packages are installed, in theory they may not have been able to configure if you didn't give it a good password when they asked for one | 17:13 |
| giver | like there was nothing written to it | 17:13 |
| rhpot1991 | here is what we can do, go look in /etc/mysql.txt | 17:13 |
| rhpot1991 | wait let me check that | 17:13 |
| giver | how to check the tree structure ? | 17:13 |
| giver | using terminal? | 17:13 |
| rhpot1991 | /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt | 17:13 |
| * rhpot1991 thought it didn't look right | 17:13 | |
| rhpot1991 | get the password from there | 17:13 |
| giver | first time using ubuntu | 17:13 |
| rhpot1991 | then do mysql -umythtv -p mythconverg | 17:14 |
| giver | sorry for all the newbie questions | 17:14 |
| rhpot1991 | and supply that password when it asks | 17:14 |
| rhpot1991 | giver: it should throw an icon for the drive on the desktop or in the places menu | 17:14 |
| rhpot1991 | you should be able to just browse it there | 17:14 |
| giver | I did all that | 17:14 |
| giver | I can browse through the drive now | 17:15 |
| rhpot1991 | is there anything on it? | 17:15 |
| giver | yes | 17:15 |
| giver | i'm in /boot.grob folder | 17:15 |
| giver | pff | 17:15 |
| giver | in /boot/grub | 17:15 |
| rhpot1991 | there are other things though like an /etc /var /usr and so on? | 17:16 |
| giver | let me check | 17:16 |
| giver | yep,var,usr | 17:16 |
| giver | tmp | 17:16 |
| giver | seem is all there,but I'm afraid I will loose if I restart | 17:17 |
| videorechner | I did as tol, and this is what I get back:http://pastebin.com/m6ff0d358 | 17:17 |
| giver | it seem to see the 6.3 gb partition made at installation | 17:17 |
| rhpot1991 | videorechner: sounds like you didn't tell it the mysql root password when it asked, do you know what it is? | 17:18 |
| giver | the rest of the hard drive is not mounted | 17:18 |
| rhpot1991 | giver: so what exactly happens when you restart? | 17:18 |
| giver | will I loos the OS again if I restart? | 17:18 |
| giver | nothing,pc comes back to original state | 17:19 |
| giver | that's what happen | 17:19 |
| rhpot1991 | define original state | 17:19 |
| giver | well,hard drive not partitioned,no booting from hdd | 17:19 |
| videorechner | rhpot1991 I know all passwords on this pc, but it never asked for a root password except when I used sudo | 17:19 |
| giver | only asking to boot from cd | 17:19 |
| rhpot1991 | videorechner: well lets do this then | 17:19 |
| rhpot1991 | videorechner: sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server | 17:20 |
| giver | and then,when I do,cfdisk finds the hard drive empty | 17:20 |
| rhpot1991 | and set a password when it asks you | 17:20 |
| videorechner | it didnt ask for a password | 17:20 |
| videorechner | all I get is an empty command line | 17:20 |
| giver | I wonder why the hard drive doesn't keep the OS? I wouldn;t think I need the cd after the installation,right? | 17:21 |
| giver | is not needed,correct? | 17:21 |
| rhpot1991 | giver: sounds like grub isn't pointing to the right place | 17:22 |
| giver | how to correct that | 17:22 |
| rhpot1991 | do you even get any grub error or anything? | 17:22 |
| giver | nope | 17:22 |
| rhpot1991 | did you take the cd out? | 17:22 |
| giver | no | 17:22 |
| giver | is working off the cd yet | 17:22 |
| giver | I didn;t restart since installation finished | 17:22 |
| giver | last time I restarted,the pc went back to an empty drive,and asks to boot from cd | 17:23 |
| giver | I did check bios | 17:23 |
| giver | and is set to boot from hdd as first option | 17:24 |
| rhpot1991 | take the cd out and reboot | 17:24 |
| rhpot1991 | like it says | 17:24 |
| giver | ok | 17:24 |
| rhpot1991 | videorechner: can you do mysql -uroot -p | 17:24 |
| videorechner | asks for the password but denies for user root | 17:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | what about just "mysql -u root" | 17:25 |
| giver | nope,keeps asking to boot from cd | 17:25 |
| rhpot1991 | videorechner: leave the -p off and try | 17:25 |
| giver | all is lost again | 17:25 |
| tgm4883_laptop | giver, how many hard drives do you have? | 17:26 |
| rhpot1991 | giver: is your bios configured to boot from HD? | 17:26 |
| giver | only one | 17:26 |
| giver | yes | 17:26 |
| videorechner | access denied | 17:26 |
| giver | bios is set to boot from hddd | 17:26 |
| rhpot1991 | videorechner: try sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.0 | 17:26 |
| giver | one think I noticed,at the end in the summary ,there is an advance option setting boot to hd0 | 17:27 |
| giver | I tried setting it to sda1 | 17:27 |
| giver | but same thing | 17:27 |
| videorechner | ok mysql got a new root password by now | 17:27 |
| giver | not sure is important | 17:27 |
| videorechner | what shall I do next? | 17:28 |
| giver | it is puzzling me,because nor ubuntu nor muthbuntu installs at all | 17:28 |
| rhpot1991 | ok good, now do sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database | 17:28 |
| rhpot1991 | and tell it root and that password when it asks | 17:28 |
| tgm4883_laptop | giver, which disk are you using? | 17:28 |
| giver | seagate 60 gb | 17:28 |
| giver | laptor ones | 17:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no, which mythbuntu disk | 17:29 |
| giver | laptop | 17:29 |
| giver | ohh | 17:29 |
| giver | latest stable | 17:29 |
| giver | 8.041 | 17:29 |
| giver | same for ubuntu | 17:29 |
| videorechner | it asks where I the mysql server is hosted | 17:29 |
| videorechner | shall I keep localhost? | 17:29 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yes | 17:30 |
| rhpot1991 | videorechner: yep | 17:31 |
| giver | I have seen some network manager error at the end,but they go away so fast,I can't read them well | 17:31 |
| giver | does the network need to be connected? | 17:31 |
| videorechner | I wont be using other computers running mythtv but should I enable remote connectivity to avoid probable errors? | 17:31 |
| rhpot1991 | videorechner: not if you wont be using others, you can always enable this in MCC later | 17:32 |
| videorechner | ok done, whats next? | 17:32 |
| rhpot1991 | should be good now | 17:32 |
| rhpot1991 | try to connect | 17:33 |
| videorechner | how? | 17:33 |
| videorechner | just start mythtv frontend | 17:33 |
| videorechner | ? | 17:33 |
| rhpot1991 | do the backend setup first, they both need the info | 17:33 |
| giver | the cd has an option to boot from fisrt hdd,and it doesn't boot | 17:34 |
| videorechner | shall I use root as username and its password? | 17:34 |
| giver | I tried the install directly from the cd,and also from inside live cd | 17:34 |
| rhpot1991 | videorechner: use mythtv and the password in /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt | 17:34 |
| giver | none of them write anything to the hard drive | 17:35 |
| videorechner | cannot login to database | 17:35 |
| rhpot1991 | have you checked that file, it should have updated the password | 17:36 |
| rhpot1991 | so it wont be the same as the last time | 17:36 |
| giver | maybe I have to change the hard drive? | 17:36 |
| videorechner | definately my fault I changed the password by myself | 17:36 |
| videorechner | /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt | 17:37 |
| giver | not sure what to do | 17:38 |
| giver | never found a hard drive that don't write | 17:38 |
| videorechner | so I need to do dpkg -reconfigure mythtv-database again and then have a look at /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt and use this password for the backend setup? | 17:39 |
| rhpot1991 | videorechner: did you modify mysql.txt you are saying? | 17:39 |
| videorechner | yes i did | 17:39 |
| rhpot1991 | that stores the mythtv user's password not the mysql root's | 17:39 |
| videorechner | at the backend setup i tried to login as mythtv using the password i had written into mysql.txt but it didnt work | 17:40 |
| giver | this must be a bad drive,I will see if I can get a new one | 17:41 |
| rhpot1991 | videorechner: well you can either modify the mysql user's password to match or just reconfigure mythtv-database again, tell it your root user like you did before but this time don't touch that file | 17:41 |
| rhpot1991 | then tell the setup exactly what is in that file | 17:41 |
| videorechner | kk | 17:41 |
| giver | tell me,how to check the hard drive in ubuntu? | 17:41 |
| rhpot1991 | ya cause setting it in that file doesn't change it in the database, so they don't match now | 17:41 |
| rhpot1991 | videorechner: I gotta run, good luck | 17:41 |
| videorechner | thx | 17:42 |
| giver | can I check dish in ubuntu? | 17:43 |
| giver | disk | 17:43 |
| tgm4883_laptop | giver, you can mount the disk and see if there is stuff on there, from the live disk | 17:45 |
| giver | does it make a difference if this drive is an oem unit? do they lock it up to be used only in their units? | 17:45 |
| tgm4883_laptop | doesn't matter | 17:46 |
| giver | it shouldn;t matter,right? | 17:46 |
| giver | ok,let me boot again | 17:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | right, shouldn't matter | 17:46 |
| giver | I can mount it from terminal,right? | 17:46 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yes | 17:47 |
| giver | ok,give me asec until it boots | 17:47 |
| videorechner | grml I had to reboot and forgot the command rhpot1991 told me to reconfigure mysql can someone please post it again? | 17:47 |
| giver | dpkg -reconfigure mythtv-database | 17:48 |
| tgm4883_laptop | <rhpot1991> videorechner: well you can either modify the mysql user's password to match or just reconfigure mythtv-database again, tell it your root user like you did before but this time don't touch that file | 17:48 |
| giver | is this the one? | 17:48 |
| videorechner | yes thanks!! | 17:49 |
| giver | ok,I'm in terinal now | 17:49 |
| giver | terminal | 17:49 |
| giver | how to mount the drive? | 17:49 |
| giver | sorry,if you guys think I should read more,I will | 17:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you need to make a dir for it first | 17:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mkdir ~/drv | 17:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | then | 17:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sudo mount /dev/sda1 ~/drv | 17:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | that might work | 17:51 |
| giver | ok | 17:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | not sure if we need to specify other options | 17:51 |
| videorechner | this command should have changed the password at /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt right? | 17:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | videorechner, no, that should have changed it for the db | 17:52 |
| giver | humm,must specify file system type | 17:52 |
| tgm4883_laptop | I believe you also need to reconfigure mythtv-common | 17:53 |
| videorechner | i do the same with common | 17:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 ~/drv | 17:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | giver, ^ | 17:53 |
| giver | where is /drv folder located now? in tmp? | 17:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no, in your home dir | 17:54 |
| videorechner | does /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt store the informations used to access the database or is it a database config file telling the database which password is used by which user? | 17:55 |
| giver | dev/sda1 doesn;t exist | 17:56 |
| giver | tried sda and says wronf fs type | 17:56 |
| giver | bad superblock on /dev/sda | 17:56 |
| giver | missing codepacge or helper program | 17:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | giver, do sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda | 17:57 |
| giver | or other error | 17:57 |
| giver | detects 60 gb | 17:57 |
| giver | disk id is all 000 | 17:58 |
| videorechner | ah ok seems like it stores the information mythtv uses to access the mysql database so all I need to do is add a user called mythtv with a password to the mysql database. how can I do this? all commands I used till now only changed the root password | 17:58 |
| giver | nothing for device boot | 17:58 |
| giver | no start or end | 17:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | giver, pastebin it | 17:58 |
| giver | ok | 17:58 |
| giver | is pastebin.com? | 17:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | videorechner, there should already be a mythtv user | 17:58 |
| tgm4883_laptop | !pastebin | giver | 17:59 |
| Zinn | giver: when pasting more than 5 lines of data please use http://mythbuntu.pastebin.com so you don't flood the channel. Then please post the link in the channel. | 17:59 |
| giver | ok | 17:59 |
| videorechner | how can I change the password of the mythtv user? | 17:59 |
| tgm4883_laptop | in the db or on the system? | 18:00 |
| videorechner | in the db | 18:00 |
| videorechner | dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database -user mythtv? | 18:00 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 18:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | IIRC, dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database | 18:01 |
| videorechner | IIRC? | 18:01 |
| tgm4883_laptop | if i recall correctly | 18:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yes it is | 18:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | and you reconfigure mythtv-common to update mysql.txt | 18:02 |
| videorechner | i used this command and all I could change was the administrator account and its password (I stayed with root) | 18:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | you reconfigured mythtv-database or mysql-server? | 18:03 |
| videorechner | mythtv-database | 18:03 |
| giver | mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d724d1302 | 18:04 |
| giver | this is the original state of the drive | 18:05 |
| tgm4883_laptop | giver, interesting, go though the installation but don't reboot when it's done | 18:05 |
| giver | yes | 18:06 |
| giver | is very strange | 18:06 |
| giver | it does partition,load files and all,while the cd is running | 18:06 |
| giver | then,at restart and pull out the cd,all comes back to no OS | 18:06 |
| giver | maybe the hard drive is bad? | 18:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | giver, I want to check the partition after install, and possibly some log files | 18:07 |
| giver | it ok,just tell me what to do | 18:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | giver, just go though a normal installation but don't reboot at the end | 18:07 |
| giver | yes,ok,I did that before | 18:07 |
| giver | give me some minutes | 18:07 |
| giver | what file you need? | 18:07 |
| giver | syslog? | 18:07 |
| giver | also,I'm sure all I did was to use default installation | 18:08 |
| giver | changed couple things,at times,but never changed the outcome | 18:09 |
| giver | let me ask you,whe it list the settings,I can see an advance icon | 18:10 |
| giver | going there | 18:10 |
| giver | shows me | 18:10 |
| giver | install bootloader in hd0 | 18:10 |
| giver | is that normal? | 18:10 |
| giver | shouldn;t it be in sda? | 18:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no that sounds about right | 18:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | if not, it's the least of our problems right now | 18:11 |
| giver | okI leave it then | 18:11 |
| giver | ok | 18:11 |
| giver | installing now | 18:11 |
| giver | will take some minutes | 18:11 |
| giver | what logs you need? | 18:12 |
| giver | and from where? | 18:12 |
| videorechner | ok I tried to login to the database as root and it worked out, but I actually dont like to use root rights all the time and I forgot the password given to the mythtv database account, how can I change its password within the database? | 18:14 |
| giver | <tgm4883_laptop>I know there are some networks errors at the end,but disapear so fast from screent to know what those are | 18:14 |
| giver | where is the logs? in /tmp? | 18:15 |
| tgm4883_laptop | SET PASSWORD FOR 'user'@'hostname' = PASSWORD('passwordhere'); | 18:16 |
| tgm4883_laptop | giver, /var/log | 18:16 |
| giver | ok | 18:17 |
| videorechner | bash: SET: command not found | 18:19 |
| tgm4883_laptop | videorechner, you have to log into mysql first | 18:20 |
| videorechner | how can I do this? simply: mysql? | 18:20 |
| tgm4883_laptop | mysql -u root -p | 18:22 |
| videorechner | thx | 18:23 |
| tgm4883_laptop | giver, probably need syslog and ubiquity logs | 18:23 |
| giver | ok,finished | 18:23 |
| giver | going into computer now | 18:23 |
| giver | syslog has 0 bytes | 18:24 |
| giver | no ubiw=quity logs | 18:24 |
| giver | ok,found isnatller/syslog | 18:25 |
| giver | installer | 18:25 |
| giver | humm,can;t even open those files,no permissions | 18:26 |
| giver | want me to try to upload the file somewhere? | 18:26 |
| giver | let me see | 18:26 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sudo them | 18:26 |
| giver | but I'm not in terminal | 18:27 |
| giver | let me try to upload it | 18:27 |
| giver | can't upload it either | 18:31 |
| tgm4883_laptop | open a terminal and sudo it then | 18:32 |
| tgm4883_laptop | that will give you permissions | 18:32 |
| giver | ok | 18:33 |
| giver | sudo is the same as chmod,right? | 18:33 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 18:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sudo runs the command as root | 18:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop | so like | 18:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sudo gedit syslog | 18:34 |
| giver | Ohh I see | 18:34 |

| tgm4883_laptop | well gedit isn't installed | 18:34 |
| tgm4883_laptop | so sudo mousepad syslog | 18:34 |
| giver | is that the cmd I should use? | 18:35 |
| tgm4883_laptop | yes | 18:35 |
| giver | mousepad not found | 18:36 |
| tgm4883_laptop | interesting | 18:36 |

| tgm4883_laptop | thats not a text editor | 18:37 |
| giver | ohh,you aksed about the text editor | 18:37 |
| giver | says only text editor | 18:38 |
| tgm4883_laptop | try gedit | 18:38 |
| giver | nope,it opens but is blank | 18:39 |
| giver | is all screwed up,right? | 18:40 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sudo gedit syslog | 18:40 |
| giver | I did | 18:40 |
| giver | sudo gedit /var/log/installer/syslog | 18:40 |
| giver | which is where the file is | 18:41 |
| giver | opens blank | 18:41 |
| giver | is a binary file? | 18:41 |
| tgm4883_laptop | no | 18:41 |
| tgm4883_laptop | what other files do you have in there | 18:41 |
| giver | casper.log,partman,syslog,version | 18:42 |
| tgm4883_laptop | partman | 18:42 |
| tgm4883_laptop | get that log | 18:42 |
| giver | blank also | 18:43 |
| giver | gedit don't seem to read it | 18:43 |
| giver | because those files are not empty | 18:43 |
| tgm4883_laptop | try nano | 18:44 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sudo nno | 18:44 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sudo nano | 18:44 |
| giver | version says ubiquity 1.8.12 | 18:44 |
| giver | ok | 18:45 |
| giver | hummm,it opens gedit file | 18:45 |
| giver | not the program | 18:46 |

| tgm4883_laptop | to the desktop | 18:49 |
| giver | would be great I could grab them from the network | 18:49 |
| giver | how to set this pc into the network? | 18:49 |
| giver | not sure where sharing is done in ubuntu | 18:49 |
| giver | have no permission to move or copy | 18:50 |
| giver | probably why it doesn;t open in editor | 18:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok, how about thihs | 18:50 |
| tgm4883_laptop | where is the file located? | 18:51 |

| giver | all this | 18:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok do this | 18:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sudo chmod -r 777 /var/log/installer/ | 18:51 |
| giver | ok | 18:51 |
| tgm4883_laptop | then you should be able to do whatever you wnt with the files | 18:52 |
| giver | should be chmod 777 ? | 18:52 |
| giver | it sees 777 as the destination directory | 18:53 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sudo chmod 777 -r /var/log/installer/ | 18:53 |
| giver | ok | 18:54 |
| tgm4883_laptop | did that work? | 18:55 |
| giver | nope | 18:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | sec | 18:55 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ah ok | 18:56 |

| giver | or the -R first? doesn;t seem to work with -R first | 18:57 |
| tgm4883_laptop | the -R first | 18:57 |
| giver | humm | 18:57 |

| giver | mythbuntu.pastebin.com/d44112a8d | 19:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | giver, where is syslog? | 19:02 |
| tgm4883_laptop | it's not in there? | 19:02 |
| giver | well,it is there in the folder | 19:03 |

| tgm4883_laptop | in /var/log or /var/log/installer | 19:03 |
| giver | debug is definitely not in the folder | 19:03 |
| giver | var/log/installer | 19:03 |
| giver | unless is casper.log | 19:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | will the command worked, you should have permissions now | 19:04 |

| giver | but I still cna;t copy or open it,or move | 19:04 |
| giver | can' | 19:04 |
| giver | t | 19:04 |
| tgm4883_laptop | pastebin this again sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda | 19:05 |
| giver | I use to set permissions in another linux distros | 19:05 |
| giver | ok | 19:05 |

| giver | also the disk id is there | 19:07 |
| giver | now,when I restart,none of that is there anymore | 19:07 |
| tgm4883_laptop | have you looked at that before? | 19:07 |
| giver | yes | 19:07 |
| giver | I saw the partitions there all the time if I don;t restart | 19:08 |
| giver | basically,it seem the disk has data | 19:08 |
| giver | all seem ok,but a restart of the pc erase all of it | 19:09 |
| tgm4883_laptop | which doens't make sense | 19:09 |

| giver | I will get back later with a new drive | 19:11 |
| tgm4883_laptop | ok | 19:12 |
| giver | and see if that was the problem | 19:12 |
| giver | just to reinforce the concept,I will restart now | 19:12 |
| giver | and see if this time the data wrote into the drive | 19:13 |
| giver | yep | 19:13 |
| giver | asking for the c | 19:13 |
| giver | cd | 19:13 |
| giver | no data in there | 19:13 |
