| * tati ask does anyone know how to configure sound with ubuntu 8.04? i'm not getting any sound from my speakers | 03:28 | |
| Chesamo | tati: Why are you using such an old version? | 03:29 |
| tati | i was given this computer and it already had ubuntu on it | 03:29 |
| Chesamo | tati: Can you not upgrade? | 03:30 |
| tati | would that fix the problem? | 03:30 |
| tati | i'm not sure if my sound card is detected... | 03:30 |
| Chesamo | tati: ALSA and PuleAudio have come a long way since 2008. | 03:30 |
| tati | ok | 03:31 |
| Chesamo | tati: But if that doesn't work, you know where to find us | 03:31 |
| tati | so, would u happen to know what i could do to find out if my sound card is being detected? | 03:32 |
| Chesamo | tati: I can't recall the command off the top of my head, no | 03:33 |
| pedro3005 | lspci | 03:33 |
| pedro3005 | I think | 03:33 |

| * tati asks does anyone know how to deal with sound issues using ubuntu 8.04? | 06:34 | |
| kermiac | tati: you still there? | 06:47 |
| tati | i'm still here | 06:53 |
| kermiac | tati: ok... so, first things first. what colour is the connector in the back of your pc that you've got the speakers connected to? | 06:55 |
| tati | green | 06:56 |
| kermiac | ok, have you tried using any other connectors? | 06:57 |
| tati | i tried connecting it to the pink and got static and distorted sound | 06:58 |
| ZachK_ | what's up tati | 06:58 |
| kermiac | tati: yeah, the pink is most likely the mic | 06:59 |
| kermiac | tati: have you got any other sound connectors on there? | 06:59 |
| tati | no i don't | 06:59 |
| kermiac | tati: ok. can you please run this command from a terminal | 07:00 |
| kermiac | speaker-test -c2 -l1 -twav | 07:00 |
| kermiac | it will just send a test sound | 07:00 |
| tati | ok | 07:00 |
| tati | there was no sound but this came up on the screen speaker-test 1.0.15 Playback device is default Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels WAV file(s) Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz) Buffer size range from 2048 to 16384 Period size range from 1024 to 1024 Using max buffer size 16384 Periods = 4 was set period_size = 1024 was set buffer_size = 16384 0 - Front Left 1 - Front Right Time per period = 2.726377 | 07:02 |
| kermiac | tati: ok, do you remember how to take a screenshot of alsamixer & upload it to imgbin? the same thing i got you to do a couple of days ago | 07:04 |
| kermiac | tati: it's just that some of the controls are in the screenshot - http://www.imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=1646 | 07:05 |
| kermiac | oops, some of the controls *aren't* in the screenshot | 07:05 |
| tati | the only that i forgot is how to get alsamixer screenshot on my screen | 07:07 |
| kermiac | tati: ok, open a terminal window then type "alsamixer" (without the quotes) & then press enter | 07:08 |
| tati | ok...it came to me right before u typed =) | 07:09 |
| kermiac | :) | 07:13 |
| tati | http://www.imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=1658 | 07:13 |
| * kermiac looks | 07:15 | |
| kermiac | hmm.. ok, nothing was missing from the original :( | 07:17 |
| tati | hmmm.....what should i do... i was trying to detect my sound card earlier but i didn't understand all the things that came up on the screen | 07:18 |
| ddecator | lspci | grep Audio | 07:19 |
| ddecator | that'll give you a cleaner output than before :) | 07:20 |
| kermiac | ddecator: 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller | 07:20 |
| kermiac | tati: what does "aplay -l" (w/o quotes) in a terminal window give you? | 07:21 |
| tati | **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: I82801DBICH4 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4], device 0: Intel ICH [Intel 82801DB-ICH4] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: I82801DBICH4 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4], device 4: Intel ICH - IEC958 [Intel 82801DB-ICH4 - IEC958] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 | 07:22 |
| kermiac | hmmm... not "sdlmodem issue" either :( | 07:23 |
| kermiac | tati: can you run alsamixer again pls? The only other thing I can think of is trying to unmute the muted chanel in there, but i don't know if that will help or not | 07:25 |
| kermiac | tati: but it's worth a try | 07:25 |
| tati | ok | 07:25 |
| kermiac | tati: ok, when you have alsamixer running in your terminal window press the left arrow key until "Line Jac" is selected (highlighted red) | 07:27 |
| kermiac | tati: then press "m" to unmute. then press the escape key to quit alsamixer | 07:27 |
| kermiac | tati: then please try: speaker-test -c2 -l1 -twav | 07:27 |
| tati | ok | 07:28 |
| tati | still no sound | 07:30 |
| tati | this came up on the screen: speaker-test 1.0.15 Playback device is default Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels WAV file(s) Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz) Buffer size range from 2048 to 16384 Period size range from 1024 to 1024 Using max buffer size 16384 Periods = 4 was set period_size = 1024 was set buffer_size = 16384 0 - Front Left 1 - Front Right Time per period = 2.695879 | 07:32 |
| kermiac | tati: hmm.. your speakers are powered on & the volume is turned up on the actual speakers, right? | 07:33 |
| tati | yes | 07:34 |
| kermiac | tati: sorry, I'm running out of ideas... The config may be messed up by the previous owner | 07:34 |
| tati | is there any way for me to fix it? | 07:35 |
| kermiac | tati: I highly recommend you downloading the Ubuntu 10.04 cd & trying it. You can boot it as a "live cd" to try it before installing & in that mode it won't overwrite any of your data that is currently stored on your pc | 07:36 |
| kermiac | tati: I'm sorry, there *may* be a way to fix it, but I'm out of ideas | 07:36 |
| tati | where would i download it from? | 07:38 |
| kermiac | tati: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download/ | 07:38 |
| kermiac | your sound should work "out of the box" with this updated verion of Ubuntu | 07:38 |
| tati | thanks....i came across something else on my screen earlier...i'll show it to you... | 07:39 |
| tati | 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell Unknown device 012d Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 0, IRQ 21 I/O ports at c800 [size=256] I/O ports at cc40 [size=64] Memory at ffa20400 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=512] Memory at ffa20000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256] Capabilities: <access denied> | 07:40 |
| kermiac | tati: that's pretty "normal". it's just describing some of the features/settings of your soundcard | 07:41 |
| tati | so i shouldn't be worried about the access denied part? | 07:41 |
| kermiac | tati: no, it just means that whatever process was called doesn't have permission to ascertain the "capabilites" of your soundcard. It's nothing to worry about :) | 07:43 |
| tati | ok... | 07:44 |
| tati | can u explain the live cd option | 07:46 |
| kermiac | tati: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCD | 07:51 |
| tati | kermiac: thanks.....could u look at another screen shot...i was able to show more controls on it | 07:58 |
| kermiac | tati: ok | 07:59 |
| tati | http://www.imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=1659 | 08:02 |
| * kermiac looks at the screenshot | 08:24 | |
| kermiac | hmm... you could try muting the "Aux" channel. although this is just a guess | 08:25 |
| tati | ok | 08:25 |
| tati | kermiac: that didn't work, do u recommend upgrading from the update manager? | 08:29 |
| kermiac | tati: :( | 08:29 |
| kermiac | tati: no, I would suggest you backup any important files & do a fresh install to ensure that there is no configuaration issues from the previous owner | 08:30 |
| kermiac | tati: another option if you want to keep 8.04 would be to file a bug report & then one of the audio devs/triagers would (hopefully) look into it for you | 08:32 |
| tati | hmmmm... | 08:32 |
| tati | kermiac: do u think i would have printer problems after upgrading? | 08:34 |
| kermiac | Stati: no, Ubuntu 10.04 has the updated version of the hpip app I talked you through installing from source a couple of days ago. you would just need to install it from the "Hplip toolbox" using the Ubuntu software Center in 10.04 | 08:37 |
| kermiac | tati: that would be a *lot* easier than what I talked you through the other day. It's just a matter of a few mouse clicks & entering your password. There is no need to goto the terminal to install this updated version in 10.04 | 08:38 |
| tati | is it possible to download and install 10.04 without using a cd? | 08:40 |
| kermiac | tati: do you have a usb key? | 08:40 |
| tati | no | 08:41 |
| kermiac | tati: unfortunately you will either need a blank cd or a usb key that you are able to format to be able to install 10.04 | 08:43 |
| pombreda | howdy .. I am on Ubuntu 8.04.4 LTS | 12:44 |
| pombreda | and I have a hw raid volume of 9TB available on which I want to create an mount an ext3 filesystem | 12:45 |
| pombreda | (the initial other 2x4.5 fs where created with the installer .. and I am not sure how to do it correctly from the command line) | 12:45 |
| pombreda | what would be the best way to proceed? a url pointer? kinda hard to find a straight foward one :) | 12:48 |
| pombreda | 1/ should I use LVM or not? (the original other fs where made in the installer using LVM) | 12:48 |
| pombreda | 2/ what are the best params for mkfs.ext3 in this context? I want a signle 9TB FS | 12:48 |
| pombreda | in /proc/scsi/scsi my device is visble as: Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: HPT Model: DISK 1-0 Rev: 4.00 | 12:53 |
| pombreda | and I am up to date with the lastest mkfs.ext3 | 12:55 |
| pombreda | pombredanne@deja02:~$ mkfs.ext3 -V | 12:55 |
| pombreda | mke2fs 1.40.8 (13-Mar-2008) Using EXT2FS Library version 1.40.8 | 12:55 |
| phillw | pombreda: for 8.04 you can have a look at http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-install-ubuntu8.04-with-software-raid1 and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Installing on external or RAID hard disks | 12:56 |
| pombreda | thx, check this phillw :P | 12:57 |
| pombreda | note ubuntu is already installed, not on the hardware raid volumes, on regular disks. i have 27TB on this puppy :P | 12:58 |
| phillw | that 2nd link is a good resource of where to head for many different scenarios. :-) | 12:59 |
| pombreda | :) | 13:00 |
| pombreda | phillw: would you recommend using LVM or not? once created the fileystem is not meant to grow or change | 13:00 |
| pombreda | growing would require another chassis anyway :D | 13:00 |
| ibuclaw | pombreda, LVM is good for when scalability is the key | 13:03 |
| ibuclaw | they just so happen to be also great for full disk encryption too. ;) | 13:04 |
| phillw | thanks ibuclaw, It's many years since i used RAID ;-) | 13:04 |
| pombreda | ibuclaw: :) no encryption needed there, this is an eopn source code mirror setup | 13:05 |
| ibuclaw | The only turn off of LVM for me is the sheer number of commands you must memorise. ;) | 13:05 |
| pombreda | ibuclaw: :P not for me then ...actually the raid is managed by 2 highpoint raid cards, the raid 6 arrys shows up as one disk to linux | 13:06 |
| ibuclaw | and when they go wrong ... they *really* go wrong. (Though nothing that shouldn't be fixable ... unless you execute Y before X) | 13:06 |
| pombreda | would you know how I know which is the /dev/xxx I can use for the kmfs? | 13:07 |
| pombreda | in /proc/scsi/scsi my device is visble as: Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 ... this is only thing I am sure off: this is that thingie | 13:08 |
| ibuclaw | pombreda, kmfs ? | 13:08 |
| pombreda | sry * mkfs.ext3 | 13:09 |
| ibuclaw | pombreda, LVM partitions are accessible via /dev/mapper/ | 13:09 |
| ibuclaw | if that is what you are asking | 13:09 |
| pombreda | sure, but atm this is not an lvm partition, this is not even a partition | 13:10 |
| ibuclaw | need a partition table setup? | 13:10 |
| pombreda | I know: so much large disks should not be trusted to an apprentice like me :D | 13:10 |
| pombreda | ibuclaw: need a partition table setup? ==> if you say so | 13:11 |
| ibuclaw | oh, don't leave it up to me to ruin your setup. :รพ | 13:11 |
| pombreda | hehe | 13:13 |
| pombreda | so now I have these devices /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb /dev/sdc /dev/sdc1 /dev/sdc2 /dev/sdc5 /dev/sdd /dev/sdd1 /dev/sdd2 /dev/sde /dev/sde1 /dev/sde5 : hwo would I know which one is my raid stuff in /proc/scsi/scsi : Host: scsi1 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 ? | 13:16 |
| ibuclaw | pombreda, what does these two commands say: | 13:18 |
| ibuclaw | sudo fdisk -l | 13:18 |
| ibuclaw | sudo blkid | 13:18 |
| ibuclaw | pombreda, http://paste.ubuntu.com | 13:18 |
| pombreda | of course :) | 13:18 |
| ibuclaw | don't paste the output here... you'll be kicked from the server ;) | 13:18 |
| ibuclaw | though you may find the output self explanatory that you needn't show and tell. | 13:19 |
| pombreda | http://paste.ubuntu.com/437284/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/437287/ | 13:22 |
| ibuclaw | Actually, I need to scoot off on a rampage south | 13:23 |
| pombreda | ibuclaw: no pro, thx for the help so far :) | 13:23 |
| pombreda | I can see from the 1st one the two 9tb arrays and the three 1tb disks allright | 13:23 |
| pombreda | still not sure which one is sda and which one is sbd | 13:24 |
| ibuclaw | well, this may give some indication on locations. (though not much) | 13:26 |
| ibuclaw | find /sys -name sda | 13:26 |
| ibuclaw | find /sys -name sdb | 13:26 |
| pombreda | ie I knwo for sure that in http://paste.ubuntu.com/437289/ HPT DISK 1_0 is my new empty array that I want | 13:26 |
| pombreda | running the finds :P | 13:27 |
| pombreda | I have /sys/block/sda and /sys/block/sdb allright | 13:27 |
| ibuclaw | pombreda, I'd make an educated guess and say: scsi1 == sdb | 13:28 |
| ibuclaw | as the order of http://paste.ubuntu.com/437289/ | 13:28 |
| ibuclaw | should mirror the order of http://paste.ubuntu.com/437284/ | 13:29 |
| pombreda | fair enough .. I knwo the existing mounted one has LVM volumes and 2 x ext3 4.5TB fs mounted already ... let me see if something in the lvm can help there | 13:29 |
| ibuclaw | and sdb isn't mentioned in http://paste.ubuntu.com/437287/ | 13:29 |
| pombreda | I need to be sure :P | 13:29 |
| pombreda | good point, ibuclaw | 13:30 |
| ibuclaw | anyway, you should have all info there to figure it out. | 13:30 |
| ibuclaw | pombreda, you using GUI to configure / setup ? | 13:30 |
| pombreda | no, cli | 13:30 |
| pombreda | no giu on that beast | 13:30 |
| pombreda | *giu | 13:30 |
| ibuclaw | ;) | 13:30 |
| ibuclaw | well, good luck anyway.... | 13:31 |
| ibuclaw | Bus in 10 minutes. | 13:31 |
| pombreda | it has a high end nvidia with a gig of ram, but that will be for gpu computing only | 13:31 |
| ibuclaw | /suspend | 13:31 |
| pombreda | ibuclaw: thx ++ | 13:31 |
| pombreda | so I have made good progress thanks to ibuclaw : I know that ny 9tb array in on /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 and i need 4bk block size with ext3 | 13:32 |
| pombreda | now do i need a partitition? | 13:32 |
| pombreda | the message "WARNING: GPT (GUID Partition Table) detected on '/dev/sdb'! The util fdisk doesn't support GPT. Use GNU Parted. " in http://paste.ubuntu.com/437284/ is kinda scaring the sh*t out of me :D | 13:33 |
| * pombreda goes after gparted | 13:33 | |
| pombreda | The program 'gparted' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install gparted ==> I am amazed that ubuntu knew it was not there :D | 13:35 |
| === bgs000 is now known as bgs100 | ||
| pombreda | shoot: gparted needs a head, a gtk gui :| | 13:36 |
| pombreda | well still not too far atm | 14:11 |

| mohi1 | raz_, is the boot screen displaying for ya??. if yes, is it showing 'grub>' ?? | 14:26 |
| raz_ | yes sir | 14:26 |

| dioltop | I need to login as root, but logged in as root I can't access files available to my other user. How do I do it? | 14:29 |
| fatius | On lucid I'd rather not boot into X11, so I unsintalled gdm, but it still seems to start X for a second (and tells me it didn't start properly). anyone know how to disable X totally from starting at boot? (Without uninstalling it) | 14:31 |
| mohi1 | dioltop, get the root by using nautilus and its not really safe to do it | 14:32 |
| Chesamo | dioltop: sudo nautilus | 14:32 |
| mohi1 | Chesamo, =] | 14:33 |
| Chesamo | fatius: sudo apt-get purge xinit (will remove the X initializer) | 14:33 |
| dioltop | wait, but I need to login as root. When logined as another user, I get 'access denied' to mount my usb. I don't want to login as root to avoid this? I can't figure out a way around the mount problem in the normal user.. | 14:33 |
| Chesamo | dioltop: do you understand the sudo command? | 14:34 |
| dioltop | I get the feeling I dont | 14:34 |
| === zz_severity1 is now known as severity1 | ||
| mohi1 | raz_, http://www.linuxselfhelp.com/gnu/grub/html_chapter/grub_4.html | 14:34 |
| Chesamo | dioltop: there's only one thing that you _must_ do as root, and that's direct hardware interface. And that's not anything anyone needs to do, ever. | 14:34 |
| Chesamo | dioltop: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 14:35 |
| mohi1 | identify the boot drives and try them. i think it will help ya =] | 14:35 |
| raz_ | thanks mohi1, i'll check it out shortly! | 14:35 |
| dioltop | ok, well I don't know how to use my usb storage device outside of root, I googled but using root user is the only thing I can purchase with | 14:35 |
| mohi1 | dioltop, actually what is your main purpose for being root now?? | 14:36 |
| Chesamo | dioltop: sudo mount /dev/usb0 /media/usb0 | 14:36 |
| dioltop | i want to make a usb boot disk | 14:36 |
| mohi1 | dioltop, its that you have to mount as Chesamo said | 14:37 |
| Chesamo | dioltop: Anything that can be done in root can be done via sudo. sudo gives you temporary root permissions. | 14:37 |
| fatius | Chesamo: that seems extreme to stop X from starting on boot. I still want to be able to start with xinit (which is the normal way, IRRC), I just don't want it ot start automatically at boot. I'll keep looking | 14:37 |
| mohi1 | brb in 10 mins | 14:37 |
| Chesamo | fatius: does startx not work when xinit is uninstalled? I've done it once or twice but I've not run without a graphical environment in a while. | 14:38 |
| fatius | Chesamo: according to man, startx is a frontend for xinit | 14:38 |
| fatius | Chesamo: ideally, I just want to remove something from init.d to stop it from happening, but tehre is nothing obvious in there. | 14:39 |
| Chesamo | fatius: Have you given this a shot? http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/prevent-xorg-from-starting-in-linux/ | 14:39 |
| Chesamo | fatius: Instead of uninstalling GDM, it just disables it... that may be why it tries to boot right into X | 14:42 |
| Chesamo | fatius: Then fails because there's no display manager like XDM or anything | 14:43 |
| fatius | Chesamo: i'll give it a shot. Seems strange to have to have GDM installed to disable X though. There must be something i'm missing. | 14:45 |
| Chesamo | fatius: Well, I think when you uninstall GDM, it changes the X start parameters. If GDM is installed, it uses GDM to start X. If it's not installed, it uses something else. | 14:46 |
| Chesamo | "it" being "Ubuntu" | 14:46 |
| fatius | Chesamo: yeah. but that's what I'm interested in... changing the X start parameters to "don't start, I'll handle it." | 14:47 |
| Chesamo | fatius: I wish I knew... startup isn't my strong point, sorry. | 14:47 |
| fatius | Chesamo: thanks a lot though, it's been very enlightening. | 14:49 |
| Chesamo | fatius: No problem. Good luck! | 14:49 |
| fatius | Chesamo: more info, even after installing gdm, but removing it from init.d (as tehy do in that URL)... something fishy is going on here. | 14:58 |
| Chesamo | fatius: Details? | 14:58 |
| fatius | Chesamo: if i do: "update-rc.d -f gdm remove" and reboot... ubuntu still starts up GDM and gives me the X login screen. | 14:59 |
| Chesamo | fatius: Did you try the other terminal method? | 15:00 |
| fatius | Chesamo: i tried sysv-rc-conf, but it shows that it shouldn't be starting up. | 15:01 |
| fatius | Chesamo: that's all thoes tools do is remove it from the /etc/rc stuff. | 15:01 |
| Chesamo | fatius: That's all I can think of, I'm not sure what else needs to be done. | 15:07 |

| kiobolt | i have a usb boot disk, how do I boot from it in karmic? | 16:09 |
| Chesamo | You can't boot from an OS to a USB drive, since you can't boot from one OS into another (with certain exceptions) | 16:09 |
| Chesamo | Can you get into your computer's BIOS? | 16:10 |
| kiobolt | I don't know how | 16:10 |
| Chesamo | You'll need to. | 16:10 |
| Chesamo | Watch when your computer's booting, it should say something like "DEL to enter setup, F8 to enter boot list" | 16:10 |
| kiobolt | oh, ok, so in there when I enter boot list I don't see my usb as an available option in the boot order list | 16:11 |
| Chesamo | How is your drive formatted? As in, what did you do to make the USB drive a boot disk | 16:12 |
| kiobolt | i can't find the instructions I googled | 16:14 |
| kiobolt | How is it formatted, ie what filesystem? | 16:14 |
| Chesamo | kiobolt: yes, also I need to know what kind of boot disk you created | 16:16 |
| === malev_ is now known as malev | ||
| kiobolt | i used ext.2 and i created eeebuntu boot disk | 16:25 |
| Chesamo | kiobolt: What utility or process did you use to create the disk? | 16:27 |
| kiobolt | USB Startup Disk Creator | 16:28 |
| phillw | kiobolt: usb startup disk creator is for making usb boot disks, not for booting from them | 16:48 |
| Chesamo | phillw: Yes, I asked what they used to make the disk | 16:51 |
| phillw | Chesamo: i was replying to (16:09:07) kiobolt: i have a usb boot disk, how do I boot from it in karmic? -- You're question may have appeared while my WiFi was just restting itself :-) | 16:52 |
| Chesamo | phillw: I gathered | 16:52 |
| phillw | sorry for any confusion | 16:52 |
| Chesamo | kiobolt: Did you plug in the drive before or after entering the boot disk menu? | 16:52 |
| raz_ | how do i change irc channel in here? lol | 17:00 |

| paultag | sed s/sardonyx/subway24/g | 17:51 |
| paultag | subway24, dude, you are talking to a /b/tard. if you want to bring the pain, it won't be lulzworthy. try #ubuntu or #windows | 17:51 |

| drubin | paultag: Nah it is easier to ban them. | 17:56 |
| paultag | nah | 17:56 |
| paultag | they keep coming back | 17:56 |

| komputes | Hi everyone! | 18:38 |
| Chesamo | Hi, komputes! | 18:39 |
| komputes | I have a question concerning duplicating a hard drive without using dd (I don't want to touch the block device layer). | 18:39 |
| komputes | so from a LiveCD I do "sudo -s ; cp -a /media/internal/* /media/usb" followed by "--root-directory=/media/usb /dev/sdb" to reinstall GRUB/MRB on the second disk. | 18:42 |
| komputes | err..."grub-install --root-directory=~/usbdrive/ /dev/sdb" | 18:43 |
| komputes | sheesh..."grub-install --root-directory=/media/usb/ /dev/sdb" | 18:45 |
| komputes | but grub.cfg still has the internal disk UUID instead of the USB disk UUID. What is the proper way to update grub so that it uses the proper UUID? | 19:26 |
| Chesamo | komputes: can you not use /dev/sdb0 instead of the UUID? | 19:26 |
| Chesamo | komputes: Because I know you can in fstab, but I don't know about grub.cfg | 19:27 |
| komputes | Chesamo: there is no sdb- device only sdb | 19:27 |
| komputes | no sdb0 | 19:27 |
| Chesamo | komputes: in any case. /dev/sdb | 19:27 |
| komputes | I can, but I fail to see how does hardcoding the disk device instead of the partition UUID will help me | 19:28 |
| Chesamo | komputes: Maybe I'm not sure what you're asking... I set all of my fstab and grub entries in device paths (/dev/*) instead of UUIDs because it's simpler that way | 19:29 |
| komputes | Chesamo: I'm asking for the process to copy contents of a disk to another disk and making the second disk bootable. | 19:35 |
| Chesamo | komputes: Yes, I can see that. You copied everything over, right? | 19:36 |
| komputes | using cp -a | 19:36 |
| Chesamo | komputes: you did NOT set up GRUB, correct? | 19:40 |
| komputes | Chesamo: tried to, with "grub-install --root-directory=/media/usb/ /dev/sdb" but grub.cfg still contained the UUID of the old installation | 19:44 |

| Chesamo | evening, hobgoblin | 20:19 |
| hobgoblin | hi Chesamo | 20:19 |
| nigelb | heya hobgoblin :) | 20:20 |
| hobgoblin | o/ | 20:20 |
| nigelb | how are you doing? | 20:20 |
| hobgoblin | pretty good ty | 20:20 |
| nigelb | good to see you after long :) | 20:20 |
| hobgoblin | oh I am always about - off and on :p | 20:24 |
| hobgoblin | nigelb: so how have you been then? | 20:26 |
| nigelb | hobgoblin: so far, great :) | 20:37 |
| Des_ | Hey, does anybody in here have the Global Menu applet? | 20:58 |
| starcraftman | Des_: problem with it? If you point me to I can try. | 20:59 |
| Des_ | starcraftman: It's not neccessarily a "problem", per se, just me wanting to save space. I want to have that take up my full top panel and still have access to applications menu. In screenshots of this I've seen a little dropdown button next to the global menu that allows access to this. I'm wondering if that's possible. | 21:01 |
| Des_ | Sorry, I have to go a doctor's appointment. I'll ask later. | 21:03 |
| starcraftman | well alright | 21:03 |
| ibuclaw | I presume he is talking about the alternate menu applet | 21:11 |
| Timo_ | hey, I'm watching a tv serie, and every 10 min the screen is going black (lock screen), does anyone know how to turn this off? | 22:29 |
| Chesamo | Timo_: Turn off your screensaver? | 22:30 |
| Timo_ | yup | 22:30 |
| Timo_ | got it | 22:30 |
| Timo_ | thanks | 22:30 |
| Des_ | Ehhh...... I fixed my other issue but did something REALLY stupid..... | 23:46 |
| Des_ | I accidently deleted my social networking applet in 10.04, any way to get that back? I still have the mail icon, but I don't have the one the is usually next to it, with my name and the speech bubble. It's not in the add to panel menus either. | 23:47 |
| Des_ | And once again I found it immediately..... Sorry. | 23:48 |
| Des_ | Goodbye. | 23:48 |
