[00:00] <Intyalle> Aha, thank you history. I finally found the right entry and found the command again
[00:01] <J100> http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/13403/
[00:01] <J100> is it ntfs-fix
[00:01] <J100> ?
[00:01]  * Intyalle saves the command this time
[00:02] <Intyalle> No, it's a specific command to remount it properly - sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/External -o remount,rw
[00:02] <J100> storing that in google notes
[00:02] <J100> thanks
[00:02] <Intyalle> ... and now I'm back down to last night's problem
[00:03] <Intyalle> It refuses to create a new folder because the file/folder does not exist
[00:03] <Intyalle> -_-
[00:05] <Intyalle> Every time I see the error I can't help but think that's kinda the point - the folder doesn't exist, that's why I'm trying to make it
[00:05] <J100> make on the pc and move it to the drive
[00:06] <schlaftier> Intyalle: I wasn't there last night, do you have some more information, like the exact error message, in a pastebin?
[00:06] <J100> if it won't move it there try making moving a text file to the drive
[00:07] <Intyalle> Failed to create directory "/media/X Storage/backup".
[00:07] <Intyalle> No such file or directory.
[00:07] <Intyalle> There's your exact error message
[00:08] <schlaftier> Intyalle: You usually get this message when the parent directory doesn't exist, so: does the directory "/media/X Storage" exist
[00:09] <Intyalle> Yes. That's my external hard drive. I am *in* that directory when I try to make the new folder (right click, create new folder method, but it doesn't work with mkdir when I open terminal at that point either)
[00:10] <schlaftier> that's weird
[00:10] <Intyalle> Yes.
[00:11] <lighta> can you create a file ?
[00:11] <Intyalle> Failed to create empty file "test".
[00:11] <Intyalle> No such file or directory
[00:12] <Intyalle> Do you want to skip it?
[00:12] <Intyalle> ^ I got that error message when I tried
[00:12] <lighta> I was thinking maybe your mounting rw didn't work properly
[00:12] <Intyalle> Maybe, but before that I didn't even have the *option* to create a file or folder.
[00:12] <Intyalle> And certainly I can delete files again just fine after using that command.
[00:14] <lighta> hmm try mounting your external drive with ntfs-3g on type
[00:14] <lighta> had writting issues before this too
[00:14] <Intyalle> ?
[00:15] <lighta> you external drive don't u use /etc/fstab to mount it ?
[00:16] <lighta> didn't*
[00:17] <Intyalle> Usually it automounts. The specific command I used earlier to fix the writing problem is above. I can paste it again if you need.
[00:18] <Intyalle> Please remember I'm only a pretend computer geek :P I know my way reasonably around a computer, but I'm still relatively new to Linux.
[00:19] <lighta> I'm far pro either don't worry
[00:19] <J100>  radeon rv100 (radeon 7000/ve) does any know if the new radeon driver has issues with this card
[00:19] <J100> ?
[00:21] <lighta> my command would be /dev/sdc1 /media/External ntfs-3g defaults,utf8 0 0
[00:23] <Intyalle> I'll try it
[00:25] <Intyalle> ... That's mount, yes?
[00:26] <Intyalle> http://pastebin.com/hFWrM35b
[00:27] <lighta> yes
[00:28] <lighta> fdisk -l ?
[00:31] <Intyalle> http://pastebin.com/VaFfJE54
[00:36] <lighta> I don't remenber proper command :( the one I gave you should be put at end of /etc/fstab to mount it automatically
[00:36] <lighta> put it then run mount -a (easier)
[00:38] <Intyalle> How to I put into the file?
[00:38] <lighta> sudo nano /etc/fstab
[00:43] <Intyalle> How do I save it?
[00:43] <lighta> ctrl + x
[00:43] <lighta> ten o
[00:44] <lighta> then o*
[00:44] <lighta> you can do it with sudo mousepad /etc/fstab if you prefer
[00:47] <Intyalle> Doesn't seem to have worked
[00:47] <lighta> it has mounted and everything ?
[00:48] <Intyalle> Saved - and I know I did - ejected, remounted, didn't seem to be different, checked file again... hadn't actually changed.
[00:49] <lighta> could you open it ?
[00:51] <Intyalle> The hard drive, or the file?
[00:52] <lighta> hard drive after mount it
[00:52] <Intyalle> Yes
[00:52] <lighta> and you tryed to write in it?
[00:53] <Intyalle> But it mounted read-only again. Fixed it with the mount command, bt it still won't make folders.
[00:53] <lighta> oh ok, then I don't have other idea
[00:55] <Intyalle> Okay, so I can happily mess with any file already there, but I can't copy anything to or create anything at any location on the drive
[00:57] <lighta> I really have no idea why, unmount reset external then retry ?
[00:58] <Intyalle> Already tried unmounting and mounting again. Repeatedly.
[00:58] <lighta> with turning off ?
[00:59] <Intyalle> Tried restarting too. Worked occasionally at the start with the read-only problem, but not even that anymore
[01:00] <lighta> I don't think reboot computer could help but..
[01:01] <Intyalle> As I said, it doesn't anymore
[01:04] <Intyalle> At this rate I'm just gonna have to hope my last blank DVDs have enough space to do the backup, pain in the ass as that will be. Particularly since I doubt they will.
[01:14] <oren> what packages do i need to support GeForce 6200?
[01:29] <oren> what packages do i need to support GeForce 6200?
[01:29] <oren> sorry..
[01:29] <oren> didn't mean to post here
[01:29] <oren> again
[01:36] <Intyalle> oren: Have you tried doing google searches on that subject?
[01:36] <oren> Intyalle: yes. i also tried runnig 'jockey-gtk' but got:
[01:36] <oren> 'no proprietry drivers are in use'
[01:37]  * Intyalle shrugs
[01:37] <Intyalle> Dunno then
[01:37] <oren> np
[01:37] <oren> thanks
[01:37] <Intyalle> I just know I always go looking to see if there's an apt-get to install a program rather than downloading and installing, since it's easier
[01:38] <Intyalle> The search usually picks up any other packages that need installing, whether there is an apt-get for the program itself or not

[03:29] <Kangarooo> hello. in xubuntu i just changed resolution to lower and now cant do anything in there couse its all black. how to revert from command line? maybe on killall xorg it will restart to working resolution?
[03:35] <TriMe> if u dont touch anything it should go back after 10 - 20 seconds.
[03:35] <TriMe> but i suspose it hasn't seeing as u typed that
[03:35] <TriMe> you should be able to do a reboot without applying the settings and it'll come back.
[03:35] <TriMe> if not u might need to load it in safe mode and change the res there
[03:36] <TriMe> Kangarooo,
[03:36] <Kangarooo> TriMe: no? in xubuntu if u put resolution it has never changed or waited some seconds for accept or revert.
[03:36] <TriMe> has a reboot fixed it?
[03:37] <Kangarooo> i mean it changes immidiatlly but doesnt wait for acept or revert if not accepted
[03:37] <Kangarooo> reboot? how a reboot will fix that? a setting is saved in xorg
[03:37] <TriMe> Well thats what i was saying if its been "saved"
[03:38] <Kangarooo> of course its saved immidiatly after pressing apply
[03:38] <TriMe> then you will need to boot into safe mode unless you have an SHH connection through another computer u can use to enter in the command line
[03:38] <Kangarooo> im now in the same computer in TTY
[03:40] <TriMe> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973

[03:40] <TriMe> you only have 1 computer?
[03:40] <TriMe> do u have command line?
[03:41] <Kangarooo> they are not next to each other. i have long house
[03:41] <Kangarooo> yes im in command line what else then command line is in TTY ?
[03:44] <TriMe> This might work

[03:44] <TriMe> sorry
[03:44] <TriMe> sudo xrandr -s 1024×768
[03:45] <TriMe> but u may need to install the package
[03:45] <TriMe> sudo apt-get install x11-xserver-utils
[03:45] <TriMe> that's all i really know man...
[03:45] <TriMe> most of my ubuntu shit i do is all command line only through ssh.
[03:46] <Kangarooo> sudo xrandr .... gives cant open display. (thats becouse im in TTY. the same i would get thrue ssh)

[03:51] <knome> TriMe, start behaving now.
[03:51] <Kangarooo> TriMe: that command is hw info and hw means HardWare
[03:52] <Kangarooo> that doesnt change resolution
[03:53] <TriMe> Hmm.. well i am dammed to find this i never had to go into TTY before so not sure if there is another way/
[04:08] <oren> i try to find the correct package for my GeForce 6200. according to this page - https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/i386/nvidia-glx-185/185.18.36-0ubuntu9  the nvidia-glk-185 supports my card. i installed it and now jockey-gtk shows me nvidia-current but tells me it's not being used. any clues?
[04:10] <knome> oren, have you triede enabling the driver?
[04:10] <oren> knome: no. how?
[04:11] <knome> oren, you have to enable propietary drivers yourself
[04:12] <oren> knome: sure. how do i enable the driver? and also, is it nvidia-current that we're talking about?
[04:12] <knome> oren, whatever driver that's on jockey :)
[04:12] <knome> oren, there should be a button to enable the driver in jockey
[04:13] <oren> knome: that's the one i see. how do i enable it? on the jockey screen i see a button 'deactivate'. but i don't see a way to use it.
[04:13] <oren> (and i assume i don't want to deactivate it)
[04:14] <knome> oren, hmm. then it's running i suppse
[04:14] <oren> knome: ok. but it tells me: this driver is activated but not currently in use.
[04:14] <knome> oren, mmh. have you tried booting?
[04:14] <oren> knome: no..
[04:15] <knome> oren, maybe you should try that first
[04:15] <oren> thanks, i'll be back soon (-:
[04:17] <lighta> I need vstpd support but none respond there, localhost connection don't work, here my config file : http://pastebin.com/eQKvvfi4
[04:51] <oren> how to 'use' nvidia driver for my GeForce 6200? i activated it from jockey-gtk (even though it still say it's not being used) and rebooted. not only it didn't help. now my main monitor is not working. any tips?
[04:52] <oren> i heard people on the forum saying there mighht be a bug in the UI of jockey and it's actually using the driver.
[04:53] <knome> oren, that might as well be
[04:54] <oren> another question - i installed nvidia-glx-185 since it say it support my card. maybe there is different package i should install instead?
[04:55] <oren> knome: 1 sec..
[04:56] <oren> knome: some progress - nvidia-settings is runnnig now. but i can't see my main monitor.
[04:56] <oren> how to tell nvidia about my other monitor?
[04:56] <knome> oren, iirc there is some kind of "probe for monitors" button or so
[04:56] <knome> oren, or just look at the configuration stuff
[04:57] <knome> oren, i had an nvidia card before and the other monitor was "hidden", but just can't remember what you needed to do to get it visible
[04:57] <knome> oren, i have to get some sleep now though
[04:57] <knome> oren, good luck with that :)
[04:58] <oren> knome: u were right. i am rebooting now. thanks
[05:21] <oren> i have 2 screens and i use nvidia-settings to set two seperate x. the ploblem is the main screen is black (i see the cursor though). when i chose twine-view it's working (unusable, but i see one giant screen spread across 2 monitors). how to make it work with 2 separate x?

[17:34] <Aquina> ubuntuhcl.org is not so helpful for finding a touchscreen that works with lucid and is cheap as well.
[17:34] <Aquina> Can someone recommend me a model?
[17:42] <lighta> Hi, I need some help, I did a big configuration for my vsftpd, so I could choose proper thing but it doesn't work. (on local) http://pastebin.com/ZhVkyS1M
[17:54] <Sysi> Aquina: if they don't need special drivers they work
[17:54] <Sysi> pick some and try to watch with google if it's gonna work
[18:52] <lighta> how can I disable sound in xchat ?
[18:53] <Sysi> settings → notifications or something
[18:55] <lighta> yes I did that already. settings -> sound but didn't found how to disable it. (or I point to an empty folder file for sound but..)
[18:55] <Sysi> not that one
[18:56] <lighta> the one in xchat right ?
[18:58] <Sysi> but the one for sounds but for notifications
[19:03] <lighta> setting > preference > chat > sound (no disable option). I want to disable all sound
[19:03] <Sysi> ... you have to do it in other way
[19:04] <Sysi> "alarms" or something in settings
[19:05] <lighta> settings got 2 option : preference and advance; in advence 3 categorie : interface, chat, network
[19:07] <Sysi> chat → first under that
[19:08] <Sysi> (on my system)
[19:09] <lighta> yes, then alarme, disable option put a bip
[19:09] <lighta> but still do sound :(
[19:09] <lighta> I did that already
[19:09] <Sysi> you may have to restart client
[19:10] <lighta> oh ok I'll try
[19:11] <lighta> back
[19:11] <Sysi> ping :p
[19:11] <lighta> so to try this if I change chan and you pm my name I should not got sound right ?
[19:11] <lighta> erf
[19:11] <lighta> got heard a sound
[19:11] <lighta> just heard
[19:11] <lighta> =(
[19:12] <lighta> nevermind I'll point to an empty folder
[19:12] <Sysi> i never got any sound from xfce
[19:12] <lighta> do you know vsftpd a bit ?
[19:12] <Sysi> *xchat
[19:12] <Sysi> no i don't
[19:12] <lighta> oh you think it's another thing then ?
[19:13] <Sysi> if it can't be something it must be something else
[19:37] <lighta> Sysi, was gigolo =(
[19:45] <Sysi> with voices? :D
[20:27] <Aquina> Can someone recommend me a model?
[20:27] <knome> a model?
[20:28] <knome> i'd say heidi klum will be a safe choice
[20:29] <Sysi> earlier he talked about touchscreens
[20:30] <knome> you can touch heidi klum as well
[20:30] <knome> though i don't know where the "screen" is
[20:30] <Aquina> ubuntuhcl.org is not so helpful for finding a touchscreen that works with lucid and is cheap as well.
[20:31] <Aquina> Besides that I dont like heidi since she's stupid. Bad example for a woman (although economically successfull). :-/
[20:32] <knome> no need to be rude
[20:33] <Aquina> huh? She's from my country, shes female like me and I still think she's stupid. ;-)
[20:34] <knome> still no need to be rude
[20:36] <Sysi> i've called you "he", you didn't fix
[20:38] <Aquina> ?
[20:39] <Sysi> "shes female like me"
[20:39] <Sysi> or am i just tired..
[20:39] <raevol> fight fight!
[20:40] <Aquina> I'm from Germany and maybe my English is not the best. I'm sorry for that. I still don't understand what you want to tell me. Can you recommend me a touchscreen which works out of the box?
[20:41] <lighta> guys, what better pasv or port for ftp connection ? no need big detail
[20:44] <lighta> I think you usually say "she's a woman"
[20:49] <TheSheep> on the irc everyone are smelly male nerds anyways ;)
[20:49] <TheSheep> then again, it doesn't solve the touchscreen problem
[20:50] <TheSheep> Aquina: if you have a computer hardware store nearby, maybe you could arrange for a test
[21:01] <xubuntu446> iu
[21:01] <xubuntu446> oiuyiyuikgyuiugikuyioyoyopoyior89o9
[21:31] <Aquina> Thx, TheSheep. :-) That's a great idea.
[21:32] <TheSheep> Aquina: I think in Germany you can return a product if it doesn't meet your expectations
[21:32] <Aquina> Oh yes, lights: "she's" a woman. :-)
[21:32] <TheSheep> Aquina: in the worst case
[21:32] <Aquina> Yes, that's true.
[21:33] <TheSheep> you need that touchscreen for some public terminal?
[22:01] <Aquina> TheSheep, where can I look up whether a hardware becomes possibly supported? kernel.org? Or is there an easier to read and understand source?
[22:02] <Sysi> google
[22:02] <TheSheep> Aquina: I don't think there is a single place for that
[22:03] <Aquina> Ok, that's waht I wanted to know. Thx!
[22:03] <TheSheep> Aquina: especially when developers only care about the chips inside that hardware and often don't even know all the model names of hardware that uses a specific chip
[22:04] <TheSheep> Aquina: so when they add support for a particular chip, they don't even know what devices become supported
[22:06] <Aquina> That's true the problem however that an open source driver exists but no working up-to-date package for lucid. I helped a friend to compile the USB-module and driver, loaded it and wrote (I HAD TO) an xorg.conf.
[22:07] <Aquina> It finally "worked" after th Xserver reset itself. In short: support by the vendor mimomonitors.com is awfull. It's painfull.
[22:10] <TheSheep> one way to imporve the situation is to work on packaging it...
[22:10] <TheSheep> improve*
[22:11] <TheSheep> actually, I'm pretty sure it won't imporve unless someone does :)
[22:11] <TheSheep> what's with that 'imporve' :/
[22:11] <TheSheep> Freud would know
[22:12] <Aquina> :-) But that's the vendors work AND the device is 300 miles awy and I have only shell access and can't visually veryfy anything. ;-(
[22:13] <TheSheep> Aquina: nag the vendor
[22:13] <Aquina> WE'll do that :-)
[22:13] <TheSheep> Aquina: organize a pressure group
[22:14] <TheSheep> Aquina: perform a number of raids on their headquaters
[22:14] <Aquina> alright! ;-) Here we go...
[22:14] <TheSheep> Aquina: kidnap their children and teach them to use linux
[22:15] <TheSheep> install debian on their home appliances
[22:15] <Aquina> Oh, we'll take that into account. :-)
[22:15] <TheSheep> or give up and do their work for them
[22:18] <Aquina> We already have a discussion about that. He is yet undecided what to do. Other touchscreen vendors often offer old drivers. It's all a nightmare.
