(not sure there is one in lucid though..) [14:57] ablomen, No- that folder exists under lucid but there is no default.desktop in there atm. Need to find out what it should contain now then..

I don't have acpi mentioned anywhere in /boot/grub [16:55] (I haven't changed any of this..)

[18:45] wubi? [18:46] windows ubuntu installer, can cause weird problems [18:46] nope [18:46] g2g [18:46] it was from CD [18:46] Oh right [18:46] thanks for the help [18:46] check that cd, there's option in menu [18:46] when you boot [18:46] Will do [18:47] infactr I'll just reburn [19:44] hey guys im having a problem mounting my mp3 player and hoping that I do not have to format the drive...unfortunately gparted shows that there is currently no filesystem on there but there is music on there..and I tried to reset the permissions to allow any user to mount the drive but am still getting error that root can only mount the drive... [19:45] only root can do mounting [19:46] but it can be done so that normal user can write there [19:47] Sysi: did su root and I still get the... [19:47] sudo mount gives me mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1 and dmesg gives me VFS: Can't find ext3 filesystem on dev sdb1. [19:47] what fs should it be? [19:48] i guess fat32 [19:48] I dont think upgrading to 10.04 would reset permissions...I think one day i was messing with the machine after reading about permissions stuff in a book and I figured out last night that I needed to go into the storage device thing and try to reset the permissions.. [19:49] well im guessing it could use NTFS so that if the kiddo wants to connect it to a Windows box for tagging that it wouldnt have any problems...but it already has music on it that I dont want to end up erasing due to formatting.. [19:49] mount -t ntfs [19:53] hrm tried the mount -t command and it tells me the device doesnt have NTFS.. [19:53] strange [19:53] it's broken or not ntfs [19:53] it ends up being fat32 [19:54] I wished I could remember all these damn commands! Ive been reading a linux security book but I think its more of you have to do it over and over again and then it becomes second nature [19:54] can you mount it with thunar? [19:55] nope..that keeps giving me mount: wrong fs blah balh [19:56] there's some way to mount it with root but as normal user so it becomes rw for both [20:00] Sysi: I ended up mounting it..ran mount -t vfat and then ran mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt [20:00] it work [20:01] yup [20:02] Sysi: I think what my problem is is that in fstab sdb1 was showing up as ext3 and its really vfat so I figure just go in and edit fstab to vfat instead of ext3 [20:03] your mp3-player shouldn't be in fstab [20:04] add # in front of that line [20:05] well it is only because I told it to load on boot-up [20:05] how you want [20:05] so all id have to do like you said is comment it out but wouldnt I also have to change the pref in storage device manager? [20:06] you can change type also in fstab [20:12] brb [20:17] ok Sysi it worked out good...so it was all because Linux wasnt seeing the device as ext3 when the device was formatted vfat.. [20:18] you told linux it's ext3 in fstab [20:18] I mustive earlier... [20:21] Sysi: what do you think of Win7? Do you still use Windows? [20:21] "still :)" [20:21] not really [20:21] heh its on the try not to basis eh [20:22] (i did use win for long time) [20:24] how long have you used Linux? [20:25] I've been using win7 since the beta days :D I tried Linux a long time ago - my hardware had no drivrs and it was a KDE distro and the buttons were massive. [20:25] as I've seen today it's much improved since then [20:25] few years [20:25] maybe three [20:26] i hated xp so much i've gone for anything [20:26] 7 is ok, i just don't have reason to something expensive/illegal and not-very-userfriendly [20:26] heh [20:28] The only reason I'm back into Linux is that my T20's fans don't spin under Windows [20:30] Okay, we're into Xubuntu, and hopefully it won't be b0rked this time [20:30] im alright with 7 but I love my Linux :) [20:30] I'm talking to you form 7 [20:30] *from [20:31] urgh I hate this f'n phillips mp3 player! [20:31] UK Zune master race here [20:32] lets see...14 songs and only 4 show up on the damn player..wtf is up with that?!? [20:32] and then for tagging I havent been able to find a *nix program that will tag the songs correctly to display on the player but WMP will do just fine...I just HATE anything Windoze.. [20:33] broken filesystem? :) [20:33] jimisrvrox: ex falso works pretty well for me [20:33] YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME [20:33] After reinstalling [20:33] same error [20:33] i'll have to re download the iso [20:33] !md5 [20:34] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [20:34] CS_GLaDOS: ive had that before... [20:34] so i understand the pain :) [20:34] checking md5 is faster than redownloading [20:34] also, if you use torrent, it can download only the broken bits [20:34] torrents don't corrupt easily [20:35] Hmm, I HTTP'd it === likemindead is now known as [mccracken] [20:36] TheSheep: you think I could have all tracks showing up through ex falso? I cant understand why theyre not showing up already because I use grip to rip/encode and I had another album that ripped just fine to the player...but this one seems to be on the sh**tter [20:36] jimisrvrox: not sure, the problem may be with the filesystem not tags [20:37] jimisrvrox: or something else entirely [20:37] jimisrvrox: make sure there no non-ascii characters or spaces in the filenames [20:41] ok so after tracks 1-4 ex falso picked those up but after that...nada [20:42] and thats on my linux box not on the player [20:44] What's the difference between alternate and desktop versions of xubuntu? [20:45] CS_GLaDOS: alternate is text-only install and usually offers more options...and desktop is gui-based [20:47] I see [20:47] I'll keep it on the desktop. [20:48] I little bit of light entertainment for nerds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QkyfGJgcwQ [20:49] So I installed xubuntu on my toshiba nb205 netbook, and the boot time is VERY long [20:49] at least 5 minutes. It hangs at a blank screen with just the flashing _ character [20:49] Is there a fix for this? [20:52] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1203480 [20:53] more/howto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7648784 [21:07] okay [21:07] I just ran update [21:07] oh never mind [21:07] the screensaver crashed [21:15] hey Sysi you gonna be around for a while? [21:16] propably, but here are other people too [21:16] I gotta run an errand but I wanna talk to you some more when I get back... [21:19] #wow, my laptop has a light [21:34] YES [21:34] Software Centre starts :D === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [22:01] is livecd works on macbookpro? i try and i see black screen [22:06] n8 [22:09] I doubt it would work on MBP [22:09] it should [22:09] depending on actual model [22:09] I couldnt get PPCLinux to work on my Mac Pro G4 [22:10] anyway OS X is good enough [22:10] anyway, why do you want to? [22:10] OS X is basically a shiny shell for BSD [22:10] it's if-you-like-it gui for something that maybe has been basen partly on something that has been open source [22:11] *based [22:11] i use it on my 5.1 version and want to help a friend with the same model [22:13] Have you tried another DVD [22:13] check the MD5 of the ISO you downloaded [22:14] CS_GLaDOS: i tried a few CDS.. i'll try ubuntu instead of xubuntu [22:14] Okay, [22:16] the issue is i see the menu. i choose the first option, and it's doing something, turn black and never give sign of life. [22:16] i can try to switch to different ttyl maybe === `mOOse` is now known as m00se [22:59] Sysi: hey man you around? [23:00] going to bed soon [23:00] oh damn ok... [23:01] so did you have anybody that taught you how to use linux or did you just do a bunch of reading and make your own way? [23:02] i've just used it, read manuals and asked in irc [23:02] my friend has explained some stuff maybe [23:03] as I said, after applying a load more updates, Software Center started working [23:03] thanks for the halp [23:15] Sysi: well my thing is I started reading the Linux Security book and got through 12 chapters of stuff but I dont remember much of anything! [23:15] so for me I think its more of a matter of doing things instead of just merely reading about them [23:15] most of people learn best by doing [23:37] Hello, anyone know if peppermint got an irc channel? [23:40] bittin, is that some kind of candy? [23:40] their website says its #PeppermintOS but thats empty :( [23:41] knome: nope some kinda new linux distro [23:41] i'm sure that's the one, if it's empty...
