[11:45] philinux, when i was first installing ubuntu10.04 using the nvidia card there were a bunch of errors [11:46] philinux, which include a 0X73/0X80 [11:46] jagadish: so what are the symptoms now [11:46] philinux, then i used the onboard card and it work'd [11:47] but the problem was when i was using the onboard card it quite didn't get to the instalation screen it gave me a error and said its staring up the gui so that i can try again...

[12:31] hello Bekmand [12:32] Hey [12:33] Think i've found out what my problem was. had to change the /etc/default/grub file, and then update my grub. hope it works now [12:35] Bekmand: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [12:35] And https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [12:36] phil: Thanks, i'll look through it :) [12:37] Bekmand: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1292409 here is a thread on Grub and framebuffer res [12:37] talks about some things people have tried === pjarnahomzz is now known as pjarnahom [13:12] hey guys ive got a problem regarding a rhythmbox plugin called duplicate source. what it does is remove duplicate song entries from the library. [13:12] http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1078839&page=4 [13:12] ? [13:12] can anyone help ? [13:14] ive followed the instructions on that thread. created a rhythmbox folder, and then a plugins folder. i extracted the duplicates source into that. when i open rhythmbox, and try to enable the duplicate plugin, rhythmbox crashes all the time! anyone have an idea of whats wrong? [13:20] help anyone? === pjarnahom is now known as pjarnahomzz [14:22] dairyman87: can you try opening rhythmbox from the Terminal === pjarnahomzz is now known as pjarnahom [14:23] dairyman87: you might get a usefull error message printed out to the tERMINAL [14:23] oops cap fail [14:33] hey guys ive got a problem regarding a rhythmbox plugin called duplicate source. what it does is remove duplicate song entries from the library. [14:33] http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1078839&page=4 [14:33] ? [14:33] can anyone help ? [14:34] I looked at that one - possibly you were here a short while ago [14:34] yeah i was! [14:35] not nice plugin in my opinion [14:35] dairyman87: so what's up then? [14:35] well, i followed the instructions, and the duplicates source appears in the rhythmbox plugins folder [14:36] and when i try to enable it rhythmbox just crashes! [14:36] why do you say its not a nice plugin? [14:36] it deletes stuff [14:37] oh, you mean it deletes the songs from the hard drive [14:37] or just from the library? [14:37] anyway - run rhythmbox from the cli - then try enabling the plugin - if it crashes see what the terminal says [14:37] from the drive [14:37] oh thats bad! [14:38] yea - I removed it ;) [14:38] lol maybe i shouldnt follow this up then! [14:38] i dont want those extra songs to be deleted [14:38] i just want the duplicates out of the library [14:38] is there an alternative to this? maybe another music player that can remove duplicates [14:38] dairyman87: where are the songs? [14:38] ? [14:39] they're on my external hard drive [14:39] all in the same folder? [14:39] no. some of them are in different folders [14:39] or is there some sort of logic to the way it's set up - the folders that is [14:40] well the songs are not so well organized. its just all over my hard drive, in different folders [14:40] but if its deleting the songs from the drive then this is a bad idea for me [14:40] so the duplicates are not in one specific place then [14:40] no they're not [14:41] mmmm [14:41] i think thats the problem [14:41] and are there a lot of duplicates? [14:41] yeah! a LOT [14:41] i have about 50 gb of music in that library. out of that i think at least 10gb to 20gb is duplicates [14:42] well I would not use the plugin then - I shouted a lot when I found a couple of hundred in the trash [14:42] haha yeah i think im going to avoid it now [14:42] honestly i wouldnt care much [14:42] but the thing is, i want to transfer music to my phone [14:43] mmm - what you could do is run the plugin - then cut the duplicates from the trash and then move them to a new folder you make on the external [14:43] and with duplicates around, its going to be a pain to manually remove duplicates before transfering them [14:43] i suppose i could do that. its not a bad idea [14:44] but the major problem now is everytime i try to enable the plugin, rhythmbox crashes [14:44] but I would just put up with the duplicates - and of course I am almost 50 so I use my phone to talk to people and would not even contemplate putting music on a phone :D [14:44] haha, its an iphone, and its the only portable music player i have!! [14:45] another one for the iHype then lol [14:45] but otherwise i get your point [14:45] :) [14:45] haha i got it a while ago [14:45] k - well have you tried any of the other media players [14:45] no not really [14:45] do you dual boot? [14:46] not currently [14:46] k [14:46] i heard media monkey is really good with this duplicates issue, [14:47] but i think its not compatible with ubuntu right? [14:48] never heard of it [14:49] i see [14:50] dairyman87: maybe try songbird and the exorcist addon [14:51] is this addon for rhythmbox. or a separate music program? [14:51] there's probably a way you could make a script to find duplicates on the drive and then move them to a new folder - but I am not the person for that voodoo stuff [14:52] songbird is a different app [14:52] oh okay [14:52] haha how do i make a script [14:52] dont i need programmer knowledge for that? [14:52] I'd not recommend it normally - but it might do what you want and then you can revert to a more sensible media player [14:53] lol hmmm... i have no idea how to make a script! [14:53] yea - you would, no good asking me - and I was just thinking aloud - might not even be possible [14:53] its okay thanks for the ideas [14:53] well I would think there are people in here who might be able to help [14:53] okay thats good [14:53] are you not a programmer? [14:53] anyway - I have to go off for a while - just got in from work [14:54] nope - it';s all voodoo :) [14:54] oh thats fine. thanks for the help by the way! really appreciate it! [14:54] haha cool! [14:54] welcome of course :) [15:01] dairyman87: I will have a dig about and look at some music players and duplicates [15:03] thanks hobgoblin [15:06] but it could well be a case of identifying them and moving them manually [15:06] dairyman87: i noticed on that forum thread the plug in errors if a song doesnt have a tag, at least that is suggested [15:07] duanedesign: do you think that a script of some sort would be at least worth thinking about? [15:07] yeah that shouldnt be too hard [15:07] have you ever heard of fdupe hobgoblin [15:07] yeah i thinkits possible that a lot of my songs are not tagged [15:08] is that ide3 tag or somethiing like that? [15:08] duanedesign: I was just looking at it [15:08] seems to be another nuke the dupe thing though [15:09] hmm [15:10] dairyman87: actually the plugin ahs two options = delete or remove from library - so go back to trying to run the thing from a terminal and see what the output shows [15:12] back in a bit [15:12] find -name '*.mp3'|xargs md5sum|sort|uniq -d [15:12] is kinda slow and just produces the name list [15:13] can anyone direct me on how to run the plugin from terminal? [15:13] duanedesign: the plugin will be safe I have found - but you need to be careful - I will explain when I return = school run now ... [15:13] dairyman87: no - run rhythmbox from the terminal [15:13] o/ [15:13] then enable the plugin - see what happens - but see my comment ^^ [15:13] thats me waving bye :P [15:14] yeah that find solution i posted sucks, lol [15:15] okay let me try doing this from terminal [15:36] dairyman87: when you get the plugin working it appears that it is set to delete by default - so - make sure the Trash is empty to start with - then start the plugin - change it to remove from the library - by that time it will have removed some stuff - you can select it all and then restore from the trash [15:37] that is what I did - I am now removing the plugin again :) [15:38] could you giveme the command to run rhythmbox and the plugin from terminal? [15:38] rhythmbox [15:39] to run the plugin go to Edit plugins - find the duplicate source one and click the box next to it - there is also an option to configure the plugin - you'll need that [15:40] i just tried to run it. and like before, rhythmbox crashed [15:43] and what did the terminal show? copy and paste it to paste.ubuntu.com and put a name in the box - hit paste and put the url here [15:43] http://i.imgur.com/Lz1g4.png is the dup source config window once you get it going === collin is now known as collinp === zz_severity1 is now known as severity1 === kev is now known as Guest50542 [17:24] quite... [17:55] dairyman87: did you get the plugin figured out? [18:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/462610/ [18:11] this is the terminal readout when i run rhythmbox from terminal [18:11] but i dont know how to enable the duplicate plugin in rhythmbox from terminal [18:11] as long as its enabled in rhythmbox [18:12] it will be enabled when you run 'rhythmbox' from the terminal === pjarnahom is now known as pjarnahomzz [18:12] see thats the problem. i cant enable the plugin in rhythmbox in the first place. everytime i try to do that from the plugins window, i.e when i click in the box, rhythmbox just crashes [18:13] dairyman87: I got a script put together that detects duplicates and moves the duplicates to a folder you specify [18:13] wow thats fantastic! how do i use the script [18:13] can you give me a step by step? [18:15] dairyman87: open a terminal and run the command: [18:15] wget http://people.ubuntu.com/~duanedesign/copyCopy.py [18:16] okay [18:16] done [18:17] to run it the command would be: python copyCopy.py /source/directory /destination/directory [18:17] so for instance [18:17] python copyCopy.py /home/duanedesign/documentation/ /home/duanedesign/dupe/ [18:18] i am looking in the documentation folder and copying the files to the dupe folder [18:19] okay so in each case i have to specify the source folder (where your copycopy file is) in my pc and choose where i want to copy the files to [18:19] the source folder is the folder you want to check for duplicates [18:20] okay i see [18:20] python copyCopy.py /home/duanedesign/music/ /home/duanedesign/musicDuplicates/ [18:20] my music is in several folders though. i mean a lot of folders [18:20] its on my hard drive [18:20] external [18:21] and when i ran rhythmbox i imported all the music [18:21] from the external [18:21] that is, i i chose import folder as : toshiba external hard drive [18:21] and it just added all the music it found in the drive to the rhythmbox library [18:22] dairyman87: does this external show up under the Places menu in the top panel [18:22] yes it does [18:22] ok open it up [18:23] it should have an address in the Location bar [18:24] My windows partition is '/media/286CC2A6397A0F2A/' [18:24] yeah this is it /media/TOSHIBA EXT [18:25] let me see if it handles spaces in directory names [18:25] alright [18:26] looks like it does [18:27] you might test it on a folder on your hard drive and make sure its the result you want. But the syntax would be: [18:27] python copyCopy.py /media/286CC2A6397A0F2A/ /home/dairyman/dupes/ [18:27] i made up the second one of course [18:28] yeah okay. [18:28] unless that is a good guess and your home folder is named dairyman [18:28] oops i put mine in there [18:28] haha no my home folder is not dairyman [18:28] but it was a good try [18:29] python copyCopy.py /media/TOSHIBA\ EXT/ /home/dairyman/dupes/ [18:29] you have to put forward slash in front of spaces in directory paths [18:29] python copyCopy.py /media/TOSHIBA\ EXT/classical/ /home/dairyman/dupes/ [18:29] that would be if you wanted to search aspecific folder on your ext HD [18:30] so wait. what this does is: remove the duplicates it finds in those specific folders and copy them to another folder which i enter in the second command? [18:30] yes [18:30] dairyman87: is that what you wanted? [18:33] well its close to what i wanted. but all i actually wanted to do was to remove the duplicate entries of the songs in the rhythmbox library. thats all. i didnt mind that i had duplicate songs in my hard drive. so removing them and copying them to another folder was not exactly what i had in mind. but i can see how it would work [18:34] dairyman87: yeah it is weird sometimes how rhythmox lists files [18:35] yeah. it would have been convenient if it just gave me an option to remove duplicate song entries [18:35] itunes sort of did that [18:35] but even with that, i had to manually remove each duplicate song from the playlist, and THEN transfer it to my phone [18:36] dairyman87: there might be a solution let me look [18:36] but this was close, thanks a lot for that. but i dont know if i want to remove those files from the hard drive. [18:37] to tell you the truth, i would have gone ahead and manually deleted those duplicates from the playlist [18:37] well keep the script you might find a use for it someday :) [18:38] but the delete button doesnt work in rhythm box! ill have to painfully select each song while holding ctrl, and then left click and then press remove [18:38] thanks for the script [18:38] i was looking for a quick fix :P [18:41] dairyman87: the quick fix was to have a logical media library once upon a time in the dim and distant past :) [18:42] haha youre right [18:42] maybe ill sit down and spend couple of hours and organize my ext drive [18:43] you just get used to the way it is. you know where every file is. whenever you need it, you can just navigate and go there [18:45] tell me about it - took me a day to half sort mine [18:45] dairyman87: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=929783 [18:47] it looks like the rhythmdb.xml file has moved. it is now at: /home/duanedesign/.local/share/rhythmbox/rhythmdb.xml [18:48] lunch time, brb. [18:49] ok [18:49] Hello, could someone help me, I accidently dd'd my windows 7 boot sector [18:50] Robin_____: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1195275 [18:51] vague much? [18:51] Robin_____: section 16 ;) [18:53] Will this work even though my sdb1 (which i sudo dd'd) is showing as an "unknown filesystem type" [18:54] Should do just be careful [18:54] can anyone provide me with the exact command i need to use with nmap that will tell me the status of every port on computer on the same wifi address, if i know the local ip. This is so i can check my network security. [18:54] philinux: Ha thanks I will try to be. gonna give it ago, i may be back soon! [19:04] anyone? [19:18] Mjiig: issue? [19:19] no i'm simply paranoid about security [19:22] Mjiig: how so? [19:25] i would like to know if I have accidentally opened any ports from my default ubuntu install, web services that offer this however only check the ports from some one scanning my ports over the net, but since my wifi is only wep encrypted it would be easy for someone to get on my wifi and i would like to know if they could access any open ports === andrew__ is now known as st33med [21:02] hello hello, it's me steelsteve, with yet another exciting problem for you guys [21:02] basically, this time my wired doesn't work anymore and lspci cannot even see the card, but wireless is not there and strangely I can connect still.

[21:42] i have partitioned it in half [21:42] yes [21:42] hum [21:42] just a small file [21:42] are both mounted? [21:42] ah ah [21:43] lol [21:43] that's my question [21:43] hum [21:43] the floppy is mounted [21:43] both? [21:43] if it's partitioned then both need to be mounted [21:43] but how to mount both partition seperately [21:43] on a floppy [21:44] I suppose it would be /directory/to/floppy/partition1 something like that [21:44] sd_1 and sd_2 or something [21:44] but sd is harddrives [21:44] humm [21:44] run 'mount' to see everything that's mounted [21:44] when i type "mount /dev/fd0p1" [21:44] that will give you the path to the floppy [21:45] p1 = partition 1 I assume [21:45] i'm using a livecd [21:45] hum [21:45] yes [21:45] doesn't matter [21:45] run "mount" on a terminal [21:45] oh well, I'll be back later I hope [21:45] i can save the file to linux partition [21:45] but how to save to ntfs [21:46] it doesn't see the ntfs partition? [21:46] not [21:46] no [21:46] but when i type [21:47] fdisk /dev/fd0 [21:47] i see both the partition [21:47] that's how i created the partition anyway [21:47] can you paste the output of fdisk /dev/fd0?
