| moonrock | I am running 10.04 and have truecrypt installed. Beginning today, when I try to start truecrypt, it says it's already running. It is not in the process list from system>admin>system monitor. Is there another place to check if it is really running? | 05:20 |
| ddecator | you can run 'top' in a terminal | 05:21 |
| moonrock | Hmmm. Not there. Not sure whether to be happy about that. Maybe I need to see if there is a truecrypt channel. | 05:25 |
| ddecator | i'm not sure how much cpu it would use, so it might just not be showing up | 05:26 |
| moonrock | I tried killall and it said no process found. I assume the process would be named truecrypt (that's the file name from properties anyway) | 05:30 |
| ddecator | is there a listing for it in System > Preferences > Startup Applications? | 05:33 |
| moonrock | No. I figured it out. It had a lock file, but not with the encrypted file/volume (where I was looking). Just needed rm ~/.TrueCrypt-lock-<username> Thanks for the help. | 05:34 |
| ddecator | no problem | 05:35 |
| moonrock | I probably didn't unmount it when shutting down before. I would have thought that would happen with a normal shutdown, though. | 05:35 |

| * Chesamo hides in the Corner of Shame, without even a towel to her name | 15:05 | |
| Chesamo | starcraftman: The first few chapters... I picked a bad time to start reading a book and never really got around to finishing it | 15:05 |
| hobgoblin | now is a good time to finish it then - you have a few hours to do so | 15:06 |
| starcraftman | Chesamo: noooooo. That's it, I'm making a new motion at next meeting that all members MUST have read the guide. At least first few books. | 15:06 |
| Chesamo | hobgoblin: Unfortunately I'm at work | 15:06 |
| mohi2911 | hobgoblin, starcraftman what you think about http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/10134655.stm ?? | 15:06 |

| mohi2911 | starcraftman =] | 15:08 |
| starcraftman | Chesamo: seriously though, do get a read of at least first two books. They are great science fiction/comedy. At the very least then you can come out of the corner. | 15:09 |
| Chesamo | starcraftman: Yess'm massah | 15:09 |

| Raidsong | well i leave for college in the morning anybody have some fond words of advice? | 16:46 |
| ddecator | coffee | 16:46 |
| ddecator | ...aaaaand that's pretty much it | 16:46 |
| Raidsong | what about tea is that a substitute for coffee? | 16:47 |
| ddecator | if it has caffeine ;) | 16:47 |
| Raidsong | dark earl grey | 16:47 |
| * ddecator doesn't know if that does or not | 16:48 | |
| Raidsong | it does | 16:48 |
| Raidsong | also ill be consuming large amounts of coffee | 16:48 |
| ddecator | then you're all set | 16:48 |
| Raidsong | straight black | 16:48 |
| Raidsong | if the first sip doesnt cause you to make a face its not strong enough | 16:49 |
| ddecator | best way | 16:49 |
| hobgoblin | Raidsong: coffee between midnight and 5Am - tea the rest of the time | 16:52 |
| hobgoblin | very red and strong stewed for a whole day tea will work | 16:52 |
| Raidsong | hobgoblin, whats your tea of choice? | 16:52 |
| hobgoblin | just bog standard tea tea - not into any of those fancy types :) | 16:53 |
| Raidsong | bah one much understand the tea before you can brew the perfect cup | 16:53 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 16:58 |
| hobgoblin | you have a good time and make the most of the experience is about all the real advice I could give :) | 16:58 |

| tdn | How do I remove the menu bar for gnome terminal? So that it is hidden by default? | 17:00 |
| Raidsong | oh man i had never noticed there was a menu bar | 17:01 |
| Raidsong | that would have coem in handy yesterday | 17:01 |
| ddecator | haha | 17:04 |
| Chesamo | pfffhaha | 17:04 |
| mohi2911 | tdn: http://www.techmetica.com/howto/improve-the-gnome-terminal-look-and-feel-in-ubuntu/ the last point might help you =] | 17:04 |
| ddecator | View > Show Menubar (although not sure if that will change the default) | 17:04 |
| hobgoblin | tdn: run it as gnome-terminal --hide menubar | 17:05 |
| mohi2911 | ddecator: will that work??^^ | 17:05 |
| hobgoblin | tdn: run it as gnome-terminal --hide-menubar I mean | 17:05 |
| tdn | hobgoblin, cool! Thanks. | 17:05 |
| ddecator | mohi2911: no idea, i just saw the option in the view menu haha | 17:05 |
| hobgoblin | or as ddecator said - same thing | 17:05 |
| hobgoblin | you could also use tilda instead - do all sorts with that | 17:06 |
| mohi2911 | I forgot someone named hobgoblin is here :D | 17:06 |
| hobgoblin | never forget myths | 17:06 |
| Raidsong | youre not a myth | 17:07 |
| Raidsong | youre here right now | 17:07 |
| mohi2911 | hobgoblin: create a wiki for all operations with terminal commands plz :D | 17:07 |
| mohi2911 | Raidsong: goto School :P | 17:07 |
| hobgoblin | Raidsong: you think I am ... | 17:07 |
| Raidsong | mohi2911, you go to school | 17:07 |
| Chesamo | mohi2911: it's called the man pages :P | 17:08 |
| Raidsong | hobgoblin, yes, yes i do. im talking to you right now | 17:08 |
| mohi2911 | Raidsong: college life over for me :P | 17:08 |
| * ddecator actually does have to go to school | 17:08 | |
| Raidsong | mohi2911, go again | 17:08 |
| Raidsong | ddecator, school is fun | 17:08 |
| mohi2911 | Raidsong: NO | 17:08 |
| Raidsong | mohi2911, it would be fun | 17:08 |
| hobgoblin | Raidsong: no - actually you're not - you're assuming that it's not a dream infested with a myth and a binch of other people you think talk to you :D | 17:08 |
| Raidsong | mohi2911, you can go fro anthropology like me | 17:09 |
| mohi2911 | Chesamo: well i know about manual. but do want to know all terminal codes dumped in a link =] | 17:09 |
| hobgoblin | tdn: is that working for you? | 17:09 |
| Raidsong | hobgoblin, that could be so but this is the first time ive talked to ddecator | 17:09 |
| Raidsong | i think | 17:09 |
| Chesamo | mohi2911: That page would be three miles long | 17:09 |
| mohi2911 | ah lol | 17:09 |
| hobgoblin | ddecator is not here Raidsong | 17:09 |
| ddecator | i'm imaginary | 17:09 |
| Raidsong | hobgoblin, if they are not here why can i tab to them | 17:09 |
| * mohi2911 imagines ddecator | 17:09 | |
| mohi2911 | ddecator: you might be the junior of pablorubianes (Humpty dumpty 2) :P | 17:10 |
| Raidsong | hobgoblin = hobgoblin x i | 17:10 |
| Raidsong | i made you real | 17:10 |
| Chesamo | :o | 17:10 |
| Raidsong | or made you imaginary its been a while | 17:11 |
| Chesamo | isn't it xi/i = x? | 17:11 |
| mohi2911 | Raidsong: x(- i) | 17:11 |
| mohi2911 | :P | 17:11 |
| Raidsong | that too | 17:11 |
| mohi2911 | i x i = -1 | 17:11 |
| Raidsong | so hobgoblin = -1? | 17:11 |
| mohi2911 | dont make hobgoblin a negative person by your EVIL math :/ | 17:11 |
| mohi2911 | Raidsong: i said >Raidsong: x(- i) | 17:12 |
| Raidsong | the maths prove hobgoblin is both real and evil | 17:12 |
| mohi2911 | so i made hobgoblin positive Raidsong :P | 17:12 |
| mohi2911 | lol | 17:12 |
| Raidsong | mohi2911, i work for fox news ill make up the facts here | 17:12 |
| * Silver_Fox_ is EVIL , which is > evil | 17:12 | |
| hobgoblin | Raidsong: how evil would you like me to be | 17:12 |
| mohi2911 | Raidsong: fox news or Silver_Fox_ news?? :P | 17:13 |
| Chesamo | :O | 17:13 |
| Raidsong | hobgoblin, evil enough to have a sufficient evil laugh | 17:13 |
| Raidsong | just fox news i would never insult Silver_Fox_ like that | 17:14 |
| mohi2911 | OMG i think the nick will change to Elfy | 17:14 |
| hobgoblin | shall stay as hobgoblin then I think Raidsong | 17:14 |
| hobgoblin | elfy piskie and forestpiskie are too laid back for hobgoblin | 17:14 |
| mohi2911 | ohhhh | 17:14 |
| tdn | hobgoblin, seems so. | 17:14 |
| Raidsong | dont need too much evil in here | 17:15 |
| mohi2911 | Raidsong: preach us something | 17:15 |

| hobgoblin | tdn: excellent - though I often use tilda - especially if I have had to drop out of xchat | 17:15 |

| CtrlAlt | hi guys, i've been partitioning from the live cd and now grub just doesn't load | 20:27 |
| CtrlAlt | the thing is, dev/sda6, the boot partition, is now dev/sda1(and i deleted two partitions more), and update-grub isn't working | 20:27 |
| CtrlAlt | i just get: /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for / (is /dev mounted?). | 20:27 |
| Chesamo | CtrlAlt: silly question, but did you mount /dev? | 20:28 |
| CtrlAlt | i mounted dev/sda1 | 20:29 |
| CtrlAlt | where should i mount /dev? | 20:29 |
| Chesamo | CtrlAlt: Different error | 20:31 |
| Chesamo | CtrlAlt: That's a very unusual error to get. Why did you mount /dev/sda1? | 20:31 |
| CtrlAlt | because it's the boot partition... | 20:31 |
| Chesamo | CtrlAlt: What are you running update-grub off of? | 20:32 |
| CtrlAlt | or should be :) | 20:32 |
| CtrlAlt | i'm running 'sudo update-grub /mnt' , wich is where i mounted /dev/sda1 | 20:33 |
| Chesamo | you mounted it onto /mnt? | 20:34 |
| Chesamo | That's.... unusual | 20:34 |
| CtrlAlt | mmh... why? | 20:35 |
| Chesamo | Well, the convention is to mount devices into folders inside /mnt, not /mnt itself | 20:36 |
| hobgoblin | I often just mount in /mnt when I'm doing a quick job in a livecd :) | 20:39 |
| CtrlAlt | yeah, but i don't need to mount any other device... anyway, i don't think that's the problem :) | 20:39 |
| CtrlAlt | thst's it, hobgoblin :) | 20:40 |
| hobgoblin | I guess this is grub2 | 20:41 |
| CtrlAlt | yes, it is | 20:41 |
| Chesamo | Ah. Grub2 is weird | 20:41 |
| CtrlAlt | yes, it is :P | 20:41 |
| * hobgoblin loves that one ... | 20:41 | |
| hobgoblin | I usually follow the wiki for reinstalling grub2 - it's worked everytime for me | 20:42 |
| hobgoblin | CtrlAlt: have you seen that? | 20:42 |
| CtrlAlt | no, i've been searching for the error | 20:43 |
| hobgoblin | hang on | 20:44 |
| CtrlAlt | i mean, grub is installed and it was woring | 20:44 |
| CtrlAlt | *working perfectly | 20:44 |
| hobgoblin | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 20:44 |
| hobgoblin | yea - if you've moved partitions about it might have got lost now that it's uber complicated :) | 20:44 |
| CtrlAlt | i thought i could get it working "quickly" by running udate-grub, but... | 20:46 |
| CtrlAlt | *sigh" | 20:47 |
| phillw | CtrlAlt: if you've *really* confused grub, then http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1484363 may be of help to you. | 20:49 |
| CtrlAlt | the kernels are there, but they were in /dev/sda6, which now doesn't exist. and since /boot/grub/grub.cfg is still the old one and it can't be updated.... | 20:53 |
| Chesamo | delete the old one. | 20:54 |
| Chesamo | Or rename it to grub.cfg.old | 20:54 |
| Chesamo | Wait, GRUB2 uses special modular files... have you looked into that? I think the old location of the kernels is still in the GRUB configuration | 20:55 |
| CtrlAlt | i'll try reinstalling it following the wiki, reboot and tell you how it went ok? :) | 20:58 |
| CtrlAlt | oh wait | 21:00 |
| CtrlAlt | i already did that | 21:00 |
| CtrlAlt | well i'll try again, wish me luck :P | 21:01 |
| CtrlAlt | yes, it worked! :D | 21:07 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 21:11 |
| CtrlAlt | now, i'm just wondering that i maybe forgot to flag /dev/sda1 as bootable and the other error was just completely unrelated; as i rebooted (and grub2 loaded :) ), all the old partition were still showed on the menu... or were they supposed to be there after reinstalling? | 21:11 |
| hobgoblin | they shouldn't be there I think - if you are in the installed OS now try running update-grub again see if they go now | 21:12 |
| CtrlAlt | i already did it :) | 21:12 |
| CtrlAlt | now everything is (or should be) ok | 21:13 |
| hobgoblin | and they still show? | 21:13 |
| hobgoblin | oic :) | 21:13 |
| CtrlAlt | no, only the two kernels of this partition and memtest | 21:13 |
| hobgoblin | yea - I was catching up and typing as I read lol | 21:15 |
| ZachK_ | sup team | 21:15 |
| CtrlAlt | hehe ok hobgoblin... ah, again on my desktop... :) | 21:17 |
| hobgoblin | I hate grub errors - never sure whether it'll work till you reboot :) | 21:18 |
| hobgoblin | and I'm not usre if supergrub works with grub2 yet either - though I do like the option to add an iso to the grub menu now - I have partedmagic in my list :) | 21:19 |
| hobgoblin | I shall have to see if it does and I'll add that one as well :) | 21:19 |
| CtrlAlt | until now, i've installed ubuntu on three machines.... i've had a different grub error on each one of them -.- | 21:21 |
| hobgoblin | heh - you should be an old hand then :) | 21:22 |
| hobgoblin | and hi ZachK_ | 21:22 |
| ZachK_ | lol | 21:22 |
| ZachK_ | hey hobgoblin | 21:22 |
| hobgoblin | logs look better now ZachK_ ;) | 21:23 |
| ZachK_ | hobgoblin: thanks | 21:28 |
| ZachK_ | hobgoblin: bluefish came in handy for that thing | 21:28 |
| hobgoblin | heh | 21:29 |
| ZachK_ | yeah | 21:29 |
| ZachK_ | so how ya been? | 21:29 |
| hobgoblin | I couldn't remember what it was off the top of my head - !# something or other | 21:30 |
| hobgoblin | I'm good - just chilling out - about ot shut down for the day :) been a long one - summer is here - I wake with the sun :( | 21:30 |
| ZachK_ | yeah me too.... | 21:30 |
| hobgoblin | spring and autumn are ok - I'd be waking up that that time anyway - more or less :) | 21:31 |
| hobgoblin | in the winter I am like a bear with a sore head for a couple of hours | 21:31 |
| ZachK_ | lol | 21:33 |
