Hmm, that could be at least part of why it has trouble being picked up by hal [06:37] RussellAlan: not sure about that really though, just a theory [06:37] well it was working before. [06:37] All i needed to do was a format. [06:37] RussellAlan: anyhow, try running something like "sudo parted /dev/mmcblk1p1" [06:38] RussellAlan: or perhaps gparted [06:38] okay in parted. [06:38] well see, i was using parted [06:38] when i opened it this time in gparted [06:38] sorry gparted* not parted [06:38] i got "Can't have apartition outside the disk! [06:39] RussellAlan: I can see why that might make parted panic :) [06:39] not parted, gparted [06:39] RussellAlan: I can see why that might make *libparted* panic [06:40] and when i have /dev/mmcblk1p1 open in gparted it shows unallocated -512.00 B [06:40] RussellAlan: negative? that's cray-zeh [06:40] lo, for sure [06:41] RussellAlan: try zero filling the first 5MB or so [06:41] zero filling? [06:41] (kill the partition table and then some) [06:41] zero filling is an effective tool of demolition when it comes to digital storage [06:41] well i have a disk-1 disk-2 and disk-3 in my /media folder [06:42] im going to take a shot at throwing the rom on disk-1 [06:42] RussellAlan: if you don't have any data that needs to be backed up on it right now, zero filling is a viable option [06:42] okay [06:43] step 1? [06:43] =D [06:43] RussellAlan: sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/mmcblk1p1 bs=4096 count=256 [06:44] no space left on device [06:44] 1024 bytes (1.0 kB) copied, 0.00041069 s, 2.5 MB/s [06:45] Okay, that's weird.

[13:07] <||arifaX> how can I restore a mouse cursor in X? mine looks divided into 3 parts. is there a quick way to re-generate it? [13:07] <||arifaX> I mean mouse pointer [13:12] you can try to replace it with the same one [13:19] <||arifaX> avihayb: tried changing mousepointers already, does not work === marius is now known as Guest47759 [13:27] Hey hey [13:28] Im having some troubles with my XP install, i need to backup files before clean install. But how do i mount the harddrive_ [13:28] im on the live cd now === dendro-afk is now known as dendrobates === marius is now known as Guest61678 [13:32] ubuntu_: your drives should appeare in the storage media category of dolphin [13:34] avihayb. they do but they appear as empty [13:35] humm === Guest65775 is now known as lightman [13:36] hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options-refused uid 999 [13:36] is the message i get trying to acces it [13:37] umm, well, I suggest you mount them manually then === marius is now known as Guest33695 [13:38] umm how do i do that? [13:40] do you want to do it from the terminal, or do you want the graphical way? [13:40] Well terminal is prolly easier? [13:41] yes, I guess [13:42] guess i cant mount it in fstab since im on live cd? [13:43] well, you can add it in fstab for a manual mount and then mount it as a user [13:43] but there is no point. [13:44] Okey, how do i mount it manually? [13:44] just open a terminal, do a "cd /media" and then "ls" you should only have "." ".." and maybe some other folders [13:45] there is no folders in /media === marius is now known as Guest50898 [13:46] ok. now you are going to make one folder per drive you are going to mount. the command is "mkfolder " [13:48] Yepp donr, although mkfolder didnt work so i used mkdir [13:48] done [13:49] now comes the hard part of figuring out what goes where... [13:49] err, my bad [13:50] how to get rid of segmentation fault? === iEC|AFK is now known as iEatChildren === ubuntu___ is now known as Adapter [13:51] ok, there are fancy ways to show what partitions are where from the terminal. I don't remember any fod them at the moment [13:52] Okey, can i change permissions for it somehow, since it refuses uid 999? [13:52] if anyone can picth in, I'll be happy [13:52] if not, the just do "ls /dev/sd*" [13:53] $ ls /dev/sd* [13:54] there is dev/sda and dev/sda1 in there [13:54] ok. sda is a hard drive. sda1 is a partition [13:55] ahh okey [13:55] oh the partition is ntfs. dunno if it matters when im only gonna read from it? [13:56] usually the mount command autodetects the partition types, and runs the appropriate mount command (in this case I think it's called mount.ntfs3g [13:56] ahhh okey [13:57] well, the basic usage for the mount command is mount [13:58] so i could do mount /dev/sda /media/win ? [13:59] yes, you will probably need to add sudo there... [13:59] ahh yes, will try [14:00] and it should be /dev/sda1, and not /dev/sda [14:01]
