The fs I am using is ext4, I immediately unmounted the drive when I figured out what happened. [04:12] I'm googling for ways to recover them, but not much luck [04:15] gkffjcs: Yes! [04:15] gkffjcs: FIRST THINGS FIRST. [04:15] dd the drive to an image file somewhere else. [04:15] Then you're going to do recovery on the image. [04:15] Once that's done, look into testdisk [04:15] the drive is 1tb, [04:15] gkffjcs: And other 1TB drives are under $100, which is the price you pay for being foolish without backups. [04:16] Failing that, $600 and up for professional data recovery. [04:16] It becomes "What's your data worth to you?"

[04:19] that doesn't make sense to me === all is now known as Guest40495 [04:19] gkffjcs: Because you're using dd; it's a block level device. [04:19] The files are f*cking gone, dude. :-) The blocks haven't been overwritten yet, and that's ALL that's saving your bacon right now. [04:19] But in order to copy that data off, you need to do it blockwise at the device level. [04:19] yo idleeeee [04:20] Guest40495: Hush. [04:20] Kubuntu lucid have problem to install, help [04:20] That makes no sense, if I dd the disk I just end up with a copy of unlined inodes... [04:20] download dayling [04:20] linked* [04:21] their still unlinked... [04:21] dd is a common Unix program whose primary purpose is the low-level copying and conversion of raw data. [04:21] Right. [04:21] yes [04:21] The purpose of dding the drive off is so that you have a gold master image. [04:21] aka "if you screw up again, you've got a gold master you can refer back to." [04:21] well, that's just not possible [04:22] Your funeral. [04:22] Boot from a LiveCD. [04:22] Or better yet, plug it into another box.

[17:09] does card have 3 ports or is it with a splitter cable? [17:11] putt1ck: 2 dva and 1 displayport [17:11] so should work in theory [17:11] It is very driver specific, and i dont think ATI supports that yet.

[18:38] is there a way to make sound work stable? sometimes I have to restart 3 times to make it work at all. and then it stops occacially while I am using TS. [18:38] kubuntu 9.10 here [18:38] ?? [18:39] was working perfect in 9.04. what changed since that version? how can I go back to a working sound system? [18:40] wizkoder: sound stuff tends to break randomly between versions of Ubuntu, I find. To be honest, in my experience, the answer is usually: you can't (easily) fix it; give up and wait for the next release and then cross your fingers [18:40] downgrading ALSA will often break stuff unfortunately [18:41] * Vroomfondle has working sound about three boots out of five [18:41] I tried to deinstall pulseaudio. changed nothing. then I tried to make the system prefer alsa. same problems. damn it [18:41] probably an ALSA driver problem [18:42] Next time I install a new version of kubuntu I will do that on a crap machine and try myself if its still working. [18:43] My bet is that everything works fine in ubuntu. And nobody at canonical gives a fuck about kubuntu :-( [18:43] Maybe somebody should tell them that gnome is ugly as hell [18:49] Thanks!

[18:56] wizkoder: Please watch your profanity in here === Guest19248 is now known as Ahmed_ [18:57] Hello [18:58] !hi | Ahmed_ [18:58] Ahmed_: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! Feel free to ask questions and help people out. The channel guidelines are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines . Enjoy your stay! [18:58] Anyone knows how to run CCAM on ubuntu which software is been used to run CCAM card sharing for dreambox :) [18:58] Hi genii :) [18:59] genii: Yes sir ;-) Sorry, sometimes I get angry when things stop working that once worked perfect. Solved the problem by changing everything to pulseaudio. But this does not work with amarok. Hopefully next version of kubuntu will work again. [19:02] BAck, thanks ubottu :) [19:03] Thanks a lot [19:03] And is that the only software ? or something [19:03] What i #ubuntu ? [19:06] Ahmed_: Seems to be something about your question here: http://www.cccamforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34745 [19:07] How come Dolphin can't manage a simple copy-paste task? [19:07] Let me see [19:07] Thank genii [19:10] Hi [19:11] I have a question about installing a program I have downloaded === plassy_shopping is now known as plassy === keneb01 is now known as justme [19:12] Is it sudo secondlife-i686-1.23.5.136262.tar.bz2 ? === justme is now known as Guest20856 [19:12] faultline: no [19:13] bz2 is an archive, like zip [19:13] bzip2 -d secondlife... to extract it [19:13] then you should hopefully find a README or INSTALL file inside, or find instructions on the publisher's web site [19:14] (there isn't a completely standard way of installing software which has not been specifically packaged for Ubuntu so you need to follow their instructions) [19:14] hi. i have a flash drive that mounts as read only. how do i change permissions to read and write? is it possible to change permissions to 777? [19:14] the drive is fat32 fs [19:14] I would like to monitor how much bytes are downloaded over a period of time, let's say 4 weeks on my laptop, divided by ip address .... my laptop can be at home (one ip address) or at work (one ip addres) the ip address at home is always the same, the ip address at work is always the same .... is that possible? [19:17] no such file or directory...lol [19:17] do i need to install the bzip2 thing? [19:18] I am really sorry for the question, just got into linux from windows 7 rofl [19:20] faultline: I do not understand the question really [19:20] hi. i have a flash drive (fat 32 fs) that mounts as read only. how do i change permissions to read and write? is it possible to change permissions to 777? [19:24] faultline: a file like: filename.tar.bz2 has been compressed with tar and bzip2 together. You can uncompress it with: tar -xjf filename.tar.bz2 What they put in there, who knows. It can be a directory containing other things, or an executable file, or the C code to build the app, anything. [19:25] genii, faultline: you can get a listing of what is in that by using tar tjvf filename.tar.bz2. That way you know if there is a dir in there, or just a stack of disorganized files. === randy_ is now known as zdnar [19:30] hello? [19:34] this is very new to me [19:36] zdnar: Well, we see what you type, you see what we type, etc. When your name is in the text, your IRC program will usually highlight it for you. You can ask questions about Kubuntu and someone will usually answer, if someone is around who knows the answer to the question you have. [19:37] well,im useing linux mint i guess about the same [19:37] still working the bugs out of it [19:39] wine has givin me some trouble,espesialy wit software written after 1965 ha ha === zbenjamin|away is now known as zbenjamin [19:40] zdnar: We give support for regular Kubuntu here. Mint, Ultimate, and some others are modified versions which provide their own avenues for support === ahmed is now known as Guest54456 [19:40] !mint [19:40] There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mintsupport), LinuxMCE (support in #linuxmce), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) === Guest54456 is now known as Ahmed_ [19:41] Hello [19:41] ok thanks wrong channel see ya [19:41] What is Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS (Hardy Heron) ? And i was looking for CCAM server i just wanna know how that works really :) [19:42] Ubuntu 8.04 is the lastest Ubuntu LTS version, it was released in April, 2008 [19:42] And what is it used for ? :) and whats the difference between 9.10 ? [19:43] Ahmed_: LTS is Long Term Support. So 3 years it is updated and supported [19:43] I see [19:43] Ubuntu has two development cycles: one large (2 years) and one short (6 months) [19:43] I would like to monitor how much bytes are downloaded on my laptop over a period of time, let's say 4 weeks on my laptop, divided by ip address .... my laptop can be at home (one ip address) or at work (one ip addres) the ip address at home is always the same, the ip address at work is always the same .... is that possible? [19:44] And is that for Severs only ? or you can install it on intel based pc's [19:44] LTS versions mark the end of the 2-years cycle, LTS versions has suppert for 5 years and have fame to be more robust and stable [19:45] Doesnt it crash or gets any problem ? [19:45] the next LTS version will be Ubuntu 10.04, on April, 2010 [19:45] Like windows gets if you keep the XP running for 2 days haha [19:46] Ahmed_: the LTS release is different from Ubuntu Server (which also has an LTS release). [19:47] !lts [19:47] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Heron 8.04). The next LTS release is scheduled to be !Lucid (Lucid Lynx 10.04) [19:47] Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server both have LTS releases. [19:49] Ahmed_: And I'm saying "Ubuntu Desktop" only to differentiate them. The proper terminology (I think) is "Ubuntu" and "Ubuntu Server". A notable difference between the two is that Ubuntu server does not have a window manager (a GUI interface like Gnome or KDE) unless you explicitly install it. [19:51] ct529: You can make a little bash script which greps out the amount of traffic on your adapter and stores it to a file, then call it as a post-down directive in the /etc/network/interfaces file for specific adapter (eth0 eth1 wlan0 whatever) [19:52] genii: it sounds clever but would not know where to start from ;) [19:57] ct529: A 2 line file named check-traffic.sh maybe... with: #!/bin/bash as first line, for second: ifconfig eth0| grep 'RX bytes' >> /home/yourname/traffic-stats for instance. Then in the set of lines for eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces you have: post-down /home/yourname/check-traffic.sh assuming you saved it into your home directory [19:59] I do not understand the second part "Then in the set of lines for eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces you have: post-down /home/yourname/check-traffic.sh" [19:59] genii: how does /etc/network/interface enter into play? [20:03] genii: does ifconfig eth0| grep 'RX bytes' return the bytes downloaded since the computer was switched on? [20:04] ct529: Yes [20:04] genii: so I just need to run it before shtiing down every day [20:04] ct529: on mine today it returns: RX bytes:32204112 (32.2 MB) TX bytes:3986165 (3.9 MB) [20:05]
