[08:17] anyways, try changing it back to something sane in the settings->appearance (an icon of switches, and then a color wheel icon) [08:17] use some imagebin or something [08:18] http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add [08:19] ok [08:19] botta run [08:19] gotta [08:19] well i think its better now [08:19] thanks [08:20] ?

I installed & updated.. so probly basic firewall [15:41] why xmms not working though .... [15:41] install audacious [15:42] Xmms is winamp alt winamp is god [15:42] Soul_Shadow, xmms has not been updated since 1924, so there are more and more bugs getting in there with new libs etc [15:42] and it runs best with broadwave [15:43] NEVER had issues with xmms [15:43] soul try sudo apt-get install audacious :) it's like a winamp [15:43] audacious is spawned from it [15:43] "Its advanced audio playback engine is considerably more powerful than GStreamer. Audacious is a fork of Beep Media Player (BMP), which itself forked from XMMS" [15:43] If I can get this rpm open I can install winamp :P [15:44] know what the rpm extractor/converter package is named [15:44] Soul_Shadow: don't install rpms [15:44] Soul_Shadow: use programs from the repositories [15:45] winamp is not there :P I use whats known [15:45] Soul_Shadow: winamp is a windows application [15:45] EEennnnnt wrong its linux also [15:45] Soul_Shadow: audacius is the closest alternative [15:46] and I do not know how broadwave will funcion with it [15:47] btw how would I automount my ntfs partition?? [15:48] !ntfs [15:48] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [15:48] * Soul_Shadow slaps Ubottu with a linux penguin [15:49] ggrreeaaattt...

[15:55] scary [15:55] anyway how would I automount my ntfs on startup? [15:58] Soul_Shadow: you must to edit fstab file /etc/fstab [15:58] asg google how to .... [15:58] !fstab [15:58] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [15:59] or check that [15:59] :) [15:59] thx [15:59] np [16:00] I just restarted my xubuntu install after a raid controller RMA replacement and xubuntu won't boot. It says /dev/mapper/raidvg-ubroot doesn't exist. However, once I am into initramfs, it clearly exists. [16:04] Hey I can sudo but cannot SU authenication failed :P wtf? [16:04] Soul_Shadow, there is no root account [16:04] so much for making it easyer in terminal :( [16:04] not what user accounts says :P [16:04] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [16:04] sudo -i [16:04] well it is disabled [16:05] will give you a root console [16:05] thank u [16:05] sudo su theuser [16:05] wil also work [16:05] i have some problem with nessus scanner....problem is in this file /var/lib/nessus/plugins/pdf-xchange_multiple_products_mem_corruption.nasl.....any sugestion?

I get an error that the LVM mapper can not be found. But once I am dropped to BusyBox, its there in /dev and I can mount it just fine. [16:13] I am watching it... Its rated PG family freindly... [16:13] corruption?? [16:13] do a fschk [16:14] don't think so, but fschk isn't a command in busybox anyway [16:14] then goto #busybox cus I do nto use it [16:15] winamp does not run on linux unless you mean via wine [16:15] can you boot into command prompt? [16:15] Baz it has run on linux I had it before.. [16:16] well, I have a command prompt, but its the initramfs/busybox prompt which is what you get when the kernel can't load the root file system (or so it appears) [16:16] then tell it to reboot [16:17] then it should try to load normal os [16:17] i have rebooted several times [16:17] I had same error earlyer [16:17] you MUST type reboot [16:18] or you can use a live cd & fschk from there in terminal [16:18] I had same error earlyer when I was on battery booting up & acpi cramped [16:19] always have a live cd handy [16:20] or live usb [16:23] anyway what was name of that stupid program supposedly like winamp?

[16:43] fstab is edited [16:44] do I have to edit a startup or partition config file also? [16:44] no [16:44] just do 'sudo mount -a' [16:44] and it will mount [16:44] (or leave errors in your dmesg) [16:44] thank u... but I want it yto mount on start [16:44] to* [16:44] it will [16:44] omg [16:44] mount -a is called at startup automatically [16:44] yea [16:45] so put mount -a wher because I use the -a & it never stays when I restart [16:45] brb I show u :P [16:45] lol [16:46] <`mOOse`> heh [16:46] bazhang: did you know something about nessus? [16:46] <`mOOse`> too much chocolate milk or somethin [16:46] xD [16:46] eXpl0i7, nessus? what's that [16:46] !info nessus [16:46] Package nessus does not exist in karmic [16:47] i use sudo apt-get install nessus nessusd [16:47] :) [16:47] !find nessus [16:47] File nessus found in fvwm-crystal, openvas-server-dev, picon-usenix, piwi, selinux-policy-default (and 6 others) [16:47] nessus is a network vuln scanner [16:47] :) [16:47] sorry not heard of it [16:47] ok [16:48] <`mOOse`> bazhang: does the find and info command access a formal db of some kind? [16:48] <`mOOse`> that's pretty cool [16:48] `mOOse`: the same as packages.ubuntu.com [16:48] `mOOse`, yep, usually I /msg ubottu info package or find packagerelatedname [16:49] <`mOOse`> ic [16:49] handy to keep a PM open with the bot :) [16:49] <`mOOse`> that's pretty righteous [16:49] <`mOOse`> yes I can see that it would be [16:49] tons of factoids as well [16:49] !bot [16:49] Hi! I'm #xubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [16:49] ^^ [16:49] <`mOOse`> is there a command list of some kind? [16:49] <`mOOse`> ok [16:49] <`mOOse`> thanks [16:49] thats it :) [16:50] factoids.cgi one [16:50] how to open .sqlite file? mozilla cookie file...some application or something else? [16:51] Hmm, perhaps Openoffice.org Base can do that [16:51] vinnl: i tryed [16:51] no [16:51] in windows can be opened with notepad xD [16:51] You can, btw, view cookies in Firefox [16:51] screw fstab can I just automunt using the shortcut & also put thunar /mnt/ntfs/ after the mount -a command? [16:51] how? [16:51] Oh, then I suppose mousepad can do it as well [16:51] Let me see [16:52] ok what I miss [16:52] mousepad, gedit....no [16:52] <`mOOse`> in order for your ntfs to mount at boot you need to edit your fstab [16:52] eXpl0i7, Edit->Preferences, Remove Individual Cookies [16:52] no to remove [16:52] <`mOOse`> !fstab [16:52] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [16:53] <`mOOse`> you'd really do to read those Soul_Shadow [16:53] well can I jsut put the mount command in launcher & have it also open that dir? [16:53] vinnl: open cookie for reading [16:53] eXpl0i7, you can also view them there [16:53] Soul_Shadow: sure, write a text file with #!/bin/bash in the first line and the required commands in next lines, and give it a x (execute) permission [16:53] Soul_Shadow: then when you run it, it will execute those commands [16:53] I used the fstab & editied it correctly & still did not load [16:54] Soul_Shadow: any errors in dmesg? [16:54] vinnl: tnx :) [16:54] yw :) [16:54] thats why I am asking if I can put the sudo mount -a command in the launcher shortcut & also add thunar /mnt/ntfs/ to open the dir [16:54] none asked for a password on start [16:55] *desktop open* aka start* [16:55] <`mOOse`> if you sudo mount -a and it doesn't mount then you have a syntax or other error in your fstab [16:56] Soul_Shadow: 'mount -a' is ran at computer startup, it won't ask for password because it is being run as root already [16:56] Soul_Shadow: if it worked from terminal, it should work at startup too [16:58] hhhmmm... you are dodging my other question... CAN I use the launcher shortcut to mount it when I want to & open the mounted dir? [16:58] I know puppy linux does it but not sure of the command structure to do it [16:59] Soul_Shadow: I answered your other question already, maybe you should also read what we write :) [16:59] and I quoted screw fstab :P I am trying to get it mounted via launcher.. [17:01] My command is this: sudo mount -a -t /dev/sda1/ ntfs /mnt/ntfs/ Now can I use a | or do I need a ; to continue another command efter this? [17:02] it's wrong [17:02] after* [17:02] mount -a doesn't take any other argumkents [17:02] arguments [17:02] it's just 'sudo mount -a' [17:02] yeah I see lol [17:02] typo sorry [17:02] it takes all the rest from /etc/fstba [17:02] fstab [17:02] so sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1/ /mnt/ntfs correct [17:03] doing that in launcher mounts it but how do I put extra command to open the /mnt/ntfs in thunar afterwards? [17:03] yeah, use 'gksu' instead of 'sudo' to have a gui for the password [17:03] because it will ask for the password the first time [17:04] well im trying to get it to load without password maybe su root passwordhere then the command? ther has to be easyer way to enter the command & pass [17:06] what did you put in the fstab exactly that it doesn't work? [17:06] anyways, I have to run now, good luck [17:06] the mount -a -t ntfs /dev/sda1/ /mnt/ntfs/ [17:07] but will it ask for the pass every time I click it?? [17:08] sudo request a pass [17:09] I know but I am trying to allow it ot automaticly put the pass in & then open the dir using thunar [17:09] hmmm [17:09] instead of putting in a pass every time I want to mount & launvh it [17:09] using launcher to try & mount & open the dir after [17:10] what do I need to put after the last command to continue another command? [17:10] ; & | does nothing im thinking , ?? [17:10] try to create some .sh script [17:11] I never made an sh script that basicly like using the perminal commands correct? [17:12] i go to try make some script.... [17:12] lol sh is actually like batch files only more commands :P DUH on me [17:13] im making one now :P [17:13] thank u [17:13] Soul_Shadow, you could also try to use exo-mount [17:13] hi guys, can someone help me out with restoring grub after a windows install please? I think I'm still on an old version of Ubuntu [17:14] !grub [17:14] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before Karmic (9.10). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [17:14] Lusule, there :) [17:15] I tried using that guide, vinnl, but I got all confused because I haven't been able to auto-mount my xubuntu partition, I had to do it manually into /mnt/temp, so nothing's where it should be [17:15] atm i'm running off a live-pen [17:15] <`mOOse`> isn't there some law or something that you have to mount foreign filesystems (cdroms too) in media, and not mnt? [17:15] It doesn't really matter [17:15] no its a HD not media nature [17:15] i was always taught to use mnt, so that's what i use [17:15] But hmm, then I don't know :S [17:16] media is for flash cdtom floppy & whatnot [17:16] cdrom* [17:16] aka removable [17:16] looks liek it works :P lemme unmount & try again :P [17:17] <`mOOse`> ok cause I seem to remember once upon a time that ubuntu wouldn't recognise the fs if it wasn't in media - and now that I think about it - it was a usb drive [17:17] ubuntu 1.0?? :P [17:17] <`mOOse`> heh shush you [17:17] I started in ubuntu 3.x lmao [17:17] <`mOOse`> slackware 1.6 here [17:18] think it was 3.4 lol [17:18] !4.10 [17:18] Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) was the first release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: April 30, 2006. See !eol for more details. [17:18] vinnl that second guide seems a bit more helpful, thanks :) [17:18] <`mOOse`> although I did tend to ignore it in favor of my SCO box in the corner [17:18] The debian guides say use /media for removable drives; you may optionally use /mnt for other items [17:18] <`mOOse`> thanks charlie-tca [17:19] Lusule, ah, great :) [17:19] well yes 3.4 was unofficial release beta testing but I would have to look at my cd to see if it was 3.4 or 4.1 :P [17:19] right i'm going to reboot and see if that worked, thanks again! [17:19] * charlie-tca thinks it is just trivia [17:19] yeha how cus I cannot unmount [17:19] OK, I'm off, bye everybody [17:19] nvm [17:20] l8tr [17:20] I will try my script :P [17:22] yep that failed using launcher [17:23] damn caps :P it works [17:23] im an oficial scriptor lol [17:24] anyone knows how I would put a if /dev/sda1/ = mounted do thunar /mnt/ntfs/ :P [17:24] im sure that not exact command [17:25] or will it not matter its attempt of mounting every time I open it [17:25] sup lus [17:25] yay that worked, thanks :) [17:25] now I just have to work out what to back up, so I can reinstall [17:25] wb to the linux world :P [17:26] I haven't used my linux partition for a while, too much gaming >< can't remember a thing now!

See http://xubuntu.wordpress.com/2007/10/12/howto-set-a-background-image-for-your-panel/ [17:50] well, xcfe4-panel doesn't work [17:50] it says the command failed to run [17:50] did you delete the files it tells you to [17:51] Maybe the app got uninstalled somehow, and you will need to reinstall xfce4-panel [17:52] it didn't tell me to delete anything, i'm running a new install of xubuntu on a toshiba nb205 [17:52] that seems likely [17:52] That web link tells you to delete things, if you read it [17:52] i'm poking around trying to find the config files [17:52] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels [17:53] ah [17:53] ok [17:53] thank you [17:56] what version of xubuntu are we currently on?

[17:56] That is the latest version, Xubuntu 9.10 [17:56] hm [17:56] karmic [17:57] the quick fix didn't work [17:57] and trying xcfe4-panel yields no such file or directory [17:58] apt-get install xcfe4-panel? [17:58] And you tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XubuntuPanels#One%20Panel%20Disappeared [17:59] which tells you how to delete all the associated files for panels? [18:00] ya [18:00] no joy [18:00] then, yes. Try apt-get install xfce4-panel [18:02] couldn't find the package [18:02]
