| Guest88537 | hello I have a problem mounting any usb storage devices about three months ago I had a usb ide laptop drive die while mounted and the computer still looks for it I have to hit "S" to skip mounting during boot and when I plug in a usb drive I get this message "Error mounting: mount exited with exit code 1: helper failed with: mount: only root can mount /dev/sdf1 on /media/20Gb" Can some one please help I am on ubuntu 10.0 | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Guest88537 | I did create another 20Gb usb drive on my laptop and boot with it plugged in but it seems to know that it is a different drive and didn't clear the problem | 00:02 |
| aveilleux | Guest88537: Have you tried updating GRUB? | 00:06 |
| Guest88537 | I have gone through two new versions of grub since the problem drive and it still has the same problem | 00:08 |
| Guest88537 | can I edit out the record of that drive somewhere so the comp doesn't know it ever existed? | 00:10 |
| aveilleux | Guest88537: Have you updated it, though? Simply upgrading the version of GRUB doesn't update its configuration | 00:11 |
| Guest88537 | don't really know how I have been Using Ubuntu for 4 years now but usually when I get this far gone I just reinstall. But I don't learn how to fix things that way and I have a lot of stuff done that I don't want to have to redo | 00:13 |
| aveilleux | Guest88537: It's really simple... just load up the LiveCD (10.04) and run sudo update-grub /dev/<hdd_name> | 00:14 |
| Guest88537 | ok but the grub list doesn't have anything for that drive it was just a storage volume and do you think if I do that it will fix the usb mount problem that I have while running? | 00:16 |
| aveilleux | Guest88537: update-grub handles a lot of that automagically | 00:17 |
| aveilleux | Guest88537: As long as the partition is flagged as bootable, GRUB can find it and add it to the list. Any device that doesn't exist anymore will be frmoved from the list. | 00:17 |
| Guest88537 | probably wouldn't be bad to shorten the grub list anyway it has every kernek since 9.04 on it still | 00:18 |
| Guest88537 | kernel | 00:18 |
| Guest88537 | thank you gonna reboot and try that if it works than i will be very happy if not I will be back | 00:19 |
| aveilleux | Good luck, Guest88537 | 00:20 |
| Guest80486 | hi aveilleux the grub update didn't work kept saying /dev was not mounted | 00:44 |
| aveilleux | Guest80486: I'm not sure I understand the nature of that error... /dev is the directory for access to block-level devices. It's not a real directory; it's the hardware | 00:45 |
| Guest80486 | thats what I thought too but I typed in " sudo update-grub /dev/sda " and it failed and said /dev wasn't mounted | 00:46 |
| aveilleux | Guest80486: That's very odd. Can you go back into the LiveCD Terminal and type "mount", then come back here and tell me the output? You may need to write it down | 00:50 |
| Guest80486 | yeah I am gonna go get my laptop so I can do both at once cacha in a couple min | 00:51 |
| Guest80486 | hi aveilleux back on laptop booting live cd now | 01:02 |
| Guest80486 | ok terminal open | 01:04 |

| bunbunderson | I have an HP deskjet 1660. when I plugged it in, it was recognised and seemed to be working. I tried to print a test page and it said the job was started in the top right corner and then said job was completed, but nothing happened. i ran hp-check and everything seems to be in order...any suggestions? | 02:52 |
| harrisonk | is hobgoblin still here? | 03:05 |
| zkriesse | harrisonk: doubtful but I am | 03:05 |
| stlsaint | harrisonk: what may we help you with? | 03:07 |
| bunbunderson | Hi. I have an HP deskjet 1660. Ubuntu 10.04. I got it seemingly installed properly, but nothing will print. It says job started and job complete, but nothing happnes | 03:07 |
| bunbunderson | should i try somewhere else? | 03:12 |
| harrisonk | zkriesse and stlsaint I am fine I just want to thank hobgoblin for helping me start my ubuntu wiki page. | 03:13 |
| stlsaint | bunbunderson: are you sure you are printing to the correct printer? (not trying to insult or anything, just it happened before) | 03:13 |
| bunbunderson | yes | 03:14 |
| stlsaint | bunbunderson: do you get any printing errors? | 03:14 |
| harrisonk | Could it be an inproper driver? | 03:14 |
| bunbunderson | not at all. It says the printing completed | 03:14 |
| bunbunderson | i am using the hplip thing that i dont really understand, my printer is recognised and when I ran hp-check , everything seemed fine. | 03:15 |
| stlsaint | bunbunderson: did you try installing or did you just plug and play? | 03:15 |
| bunbunderson | i actually tried both | 03:15 |
| bunbunderson | plug and play then i deleted that and tried to install manually through hplip | 03:15 |
| bunbunderson | i think thats the right letters | 03:15 |
| harrisonk | bunbunderson: did you try going through the system -> admin -> printing? | 03:16 |
| bunbunderson | The printer is listed there | 03:17 |
| bunbunderson | this is the only error that hp-check came up with. error: User needs to be member of group 'lp' to enable print, scan & fax. | 03:17 |
| bunbunderson | User member of group 'lpadmin'. | 03:17 |
| harrisonk | is your user a member of the lpadadmin group? | 03:18 |
| bunbunderson | i dont know | 03:18 |
| harrisonk | Go to system -> admin -> users and groups | 03:18 |
| bunbunderson | it is a member of lp and lpadmin | 03:19 |
| stlsaint | bunbunderson: in a terminal enter command: groups | 03:19 |
| zkriesse | harrisonk: Ah wiki eh? | 03:19 |
| * zkriesse is a HUGE wiki editor harrisonk | 03:19 | |
| bunbunderson | bunbunderson adm dialout cdrom plugdev lpadmin admin sambashare | 03:19 |
| harrisonk | zkriesse: yes wiki.ubuntu.com/harrisonk | 03:20 |
| stlsaint | bunbunderson: so you have used the generic drivers along with the drives that came with printer and neither of them work? | 03:20 |
| bunbunderson | i did not try with the disc that came with the printer | 03:21 |
| harrisonk | stlsaint and bunbunderson could the drivers be stoping each other? ie. driver confict? | 03:21 |
| bunbunderson | stlsaint and harrisonk: am i supposed to type your names before everything I say? | 03:22 |
| stlsaint | bunbunderson: i would sugget you download drivers from the hp site if the generic ones are not working | 03:22 |
| bunbunderson | okay | 03:22 |
| harrisonk | bunbunderson: it is helpful on the bigger suport chanels but not nessesary | 03:23 |
| harrisonk | typeing names before content | 03:23 |
| harrisonk | *typing | 03:24 |
| bunbunderson | i got ya :) | 03:24 |
| harrisonk | good ;-) | 03:24 |
| bunbunderson | stlsaint and harrisonk: through hp's website, they send you to download hplip (HP Linux Imaging and Printing) which is supposed to be universal for many hp printers including mine. | 03:25 |
| bunbunderson | and i asked the people on hplip's launchpad thingy and no one has said anything in 24 hours so I figured I would try my luck here | 03:27 |
| harrisonk | bunbunderson: the launchpad thingy I heard is slow at answering questions. | 03:30 |
| stlsaint | bunbunderson: and hplip does not work for you? | 03:30 |
| harrisonk | not that you will not get a answer it's just slow | 03:31 |
| bunbunderson | it *seems* to work. theres a little hp logo by my little wireless bars. HP says it is printing and completed... | 03:32 |
| bunbunderson | but the printer doesnt budge | 03:33 |
| stlsaint | bunbunderson: what does the printer say? | 03:33 |
| bunbunderson | it doesnt say anything | 03:35 |
| harrisonk | bunbunderson: does your printer have a small LCD screen on it? | 03:38 |
| bunbunderson | no. its totally the $25 dollar printer from walmart | 03:39 |
| harrisonk | ahh one of those | 03:40 |
| harrisonk | basic? | 03:40 |
| bunbunderson | very | 03:40 |
| bunbunderson | one button | 03:40 |
| bunbunderson | but it has always worked perfectly for me | 03:40 |
| bunbunderson | harrisonk and stlsaint: i appreciate you guys tryin to help me | 03:50 |
| stlsaint | bunbunderson: sorry it didnt work for you | 03:51 |
| bunbunderson | is there a control alt delete-ish thing for ubuntu? | 03:51 |

| Verminator | is the following a good way to generate a list of recently installed/upgrade pacxkages? | 05:00 |
| Verminator | grep 'trigproc\|upgrade' dpkg.log | 05:00 |
| Verminator | I've run a similar command, but want to make sure I understand the output | 05:02 |
| aveilleux | Verminator: Give me a second and I'll try it | 05:02 |
| Verminator | thx | 05:02 |
| Verminator | aveilleux, if u know of an easier/better way, I'm open to that too | 05:09 |
| aveilleux | Verminator: The command looks right to me | 05:16 |
| aveilleux | Verminator: The output looks fine too | 05:16 |
| Verminator | thx, I appreciate the confirmation. do u know what the diff between trigproc and upgrade is? | 05:17 |
| aveilleux | Verminator: Upgrade is when the package actually gets updated, trigproc is when the deferred ldconfig triggers the processed (at the end of the install) | 05:19 |
| Verminator | aveilleux, I understand upgrade, but am still confused on trigproc, can u explain it more in newguy terms, sorry. | 05:20 |
| aveilleux | Verminator: Have you installed software through the command line before? | 05:21 |
| Verminator | only once or twice and it was something I copied and moded from elsewhere | 05:22 |
| Verminator | my cli is usually confined to finding and parsing text files | 05:23 |
| aveilleux | Verminator: Let me get my Ubuntu system back up, I just put it back away | 05:24 |
| Verminator | aveilleux, no worries, dont go outta your way, at this point my task is complete, I'm just trying to learn at this point and have to get off soon anyway, I really appreciate your help though. | 05:25 |
| aveilleux | Verminator: Well my explanation is the same, I just have to get the exact wording | 05:26 |
| Verminator | aveilleux, fair enough, I'll save your reply and try to make more sence of it tomorrow, thanks again | 05:27 |
| aveilleux | Verminator: One of the last steps of the package setup process is "Processing triggers for X", where X is usually libc-bin or another dependent library. What exactly that means, I forget. But it's basically everything that happens after the package itself is installed and ready to be run. | 05:30 |
| Verminator | aveilleux, sounds kind of like a 2nd round of checking/updating dependencies. | 05:31 |

| gasd | ANYONE NOT AFK? | 07:18 |
| hobgoblin | only if you stop shouting | 07:18 |
| gasd | lol | 07:18 |
| gasd | okay | 07:18 |
| gasd | can any one help me with a graphics problem? | 07:18 |
| hobgoblin | might be able to - please just ask the question | 07:19 |
| gasd | okay im using ATI Radeon Xpress 200 on lucid | 07:19 |
| gasd | i was changing screen savers | 07:20 |
| gasd | when it crashed on CubeStorm | 07:20 |
| gasd | i couldnt gain control and i had to do a hard reboot | 07:20 |
| gasd | when i was logged back in | 07:20 |
| gasd | the were graphical glithes everywhere | 07:21 |
| gasd | but only with compiz enabled | 07:21 |
| gasd | or anything that uses 3D (screensavers) | 07:21 |
| gasd | and for some reason the screen saver Cubestorm crashes my computer still | 07:22 |
| gasd | im using opensource drivers by the way | 07:22 |
| hobgoblin | yea - from what I can see the card is not getting proprietary drivers any longer | 07:24 |
| gasd | http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=168201&d=1283397836 | 07:25 |
| gasd | there's a pic of what it looks like | 07:25 |
| gasd | yeah but everything was working perfectly fine | 07:25 |
| gasd | with the open source drivers | 07:25 |
| gasd | untill the hard reboot | 07:25 |
| gasd | Compiz still works, its just overlayed with the blocks | 07:26 |
| hobgoblin | tbh - I rarely have anything to do with ati cards - | 07:27 |
| hobgoblin | that is what you have now? | 07:28 |
| gasd | yes | 07:28 |
| hobgoblin | nice ... | 07:29 |
| gasd | do you at least know of anyway to like reinstall the drivers | 07:29 |
| gasd | ppa purge perhaps? | 07:29 |
| hobgoblin | mmm - to get back to a screen you can see you can try to remove the xorg file from recovery mode and then start again | 07:29 |
| gasd | im just scared i might mess something up | 07:29 |
| hobgoblin | were you using a ppa like xorg edgers? | 07:30 |
| gasd | yup | 07:30 |
| hobgoblin | mmm | 07:30 |
| temposs | ohhh, that'll do it | 07:30 |
| temposs | lol | 07:30 |
| hobgoblin | boot recovery mode - root terminal | 07:30 |
| temposs | gasd, sudo ppa-purge xorg-edgers | 07:30 |
| hobgoblin | then have a go with ppa purge | 07:31 |
| gasd | okay gonna try the ppa purge first | 07:31 |
| hobgoblin | if that doesn;t help - recovery mode - root terminal and then mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.0209 | 07:31 |
| gasd | k | 07:31 |
| hobgoblin | that whoudl leave you with vesa | 07:32 |
| gasd | after i purge, can i reinstall xorg edgers | 07:34 |
| gasd | or should I? | 07:34 |
| hobgoblin | no idea tbh - not needed to use it | 07:35 |
| hobgoblin | from what I have seen on the forum some have no issue - others do | 07:36 |
| gasd | yeah i had no isuee | 07:36 |
| gasd | *issue | 07:36 |
| hobgoblin | till now ... | 07:36 |
| gasd | it was just that damn screen saver | 07:36 |
| hobgoblin | then I would not use the screensaver | 07:36 |
| gasd | yeah i really dont know what up with that sceensaver CubeStorm | 07:37 |
| gasd | because even when compiz is off, it completely freezes my computer | 07:37 |
| gasd | everyother screensaver runs fine | 07:37 |
| hobgoblin | well if all that causes the issue is that screensaver - then use another one :) | 07:38 |
| gasd | yeah i kinda of got that | 07:39 |
| gasd | lol | 07:39 |
| hobgoblin | :) | 07:39 |
| gasd | i was just shufflin through and what do i get? i system breaker -_- | 07:39 |
| gasd | ppa purge done | 07:39 |
| hobgoblin | k | 07:40 |
| gasd | lets hope it worked! | 07:40 |

| boywonder | hi, ive compiled a program only now i want to delete it and start again,any help? | 14:50 |
| geirha | boywonder: Delete the source? Or did you install it and want to uninstall it? | 15:02 |
| boywonder | i never used make install i dont know how | 15:05 |
| geirha | You never ran make install? So you just want to clean the source tree? | 15:07 |
| boywonder | yes because i cant use su on my box i dont know the password | 15:08 |
| boywonder | what is the command for make install? | 15:09 |
| geirha | I still don't understand what you're trying to do. | 15:14 |
| hobgoblin | boywonder: sudo instead of su | 15:15 |
| geirha | If you don't have administrator privileges, you can't install anything system-wide, though you can install it in your homedir. | 15:15 |
| boywonder | ok im in confused state lol now i dont know if i installed it because i have used sudo make install | 15:16 |
| boywonder | im trying to install xchat, so do i need to know a folder where it would be installed | 15:17 |
| geirha | boywonder: Then you likely installed it under /usr/local | 15:17 |
| boywonder | ? | 15:17 |
| boywonder | should it be there a xchat folder | 15:17 |
| geirha | boywonder: Why are you building xchat? It's in the repositories ... | 15:17 |
| boywonder | ? | 15:18 |
| boywonder | i didnt know that | 15:18 |
| geirha | boywonder: find /usr/local -type f # see any xchat there? | 15:18 |
| geirha | Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center -> search for xchat -> install | 15:18 |
| boywonder | ok but i need to clean my system first,also i installed glib | 15:21 |
| boywonder | ok im in local | 15:22 |
| boywonder | ls and theres no xchat | 15:22 |
| geirha | boywonder: Not ls, find. ''find /usr/local -type f'' | 15:24 |
| geirha | If you're lucky, running ''sudo make uninstall'' from the same place you ran ''sudo make install'', will undo the install. | 15:25 |
| boywonder | that command does nothing? | 15:26 |
| geirha | What command, the find command? | 15:26 |
| boywonder | yes | 15:26 |
| geirha | Then you haven't installed anything under /usr/local at least. | 15:26 |
| geirha | What commands did you run exactly; what options did you pass to ./configure ? | 15:27 |
| boywonder | none | 15:27 |
| geirha | Then it should've defaulted to /usr/local, but since /usr/local is emtpy, you haven't installed anything | 15:27 |
| geirha | So if you ran sudo make install, it probably failed. | 15:28 |
| boywonder | probably | 15:28 |
| boywonder | does that mean i have to do nothing? | 15:30 |
| boywonder | except use ubuntu software centre to install it? | 15:30 |
| geirha | Yes, it sounds like you didn't do anything that needs to be cleaned up ;) | 15:30 |
| boywonder | can i now get rid of glib | 15:31 |
| geirha | Did you run ./configure without options for glib too? | 15:31 |
| boywonder | sudo aptitude install libglib2.0-dev | 15:31 |
| boywonder | yes | 15:31 |
| geirha | Ah, you installed glib via apt. Good. Then you just need to | 15:32 |
| geirha | sudo aptitude remove libglib2.0-dev | 15:32 |
| boywonder | sweet thanks alot | 15:32 |
| geirha | yw | 15:33 |
| boywonder | that aced | 15:34 |
| boywonder | installed now reboot | 15:36 |

| boywonder | thanks alot geirha | 15:43 |
| kedarm | So, I ended up putting my Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Desktop in Hibernate :( | 15:43 |
| kedarm | Now, it does not seem to come back to life. | 15:43 |
| kedarm | I have read horror stories, but any tips you may have? | 15:43 |
| Silver_Fox_ | How up to date was the system kedarm ? | 15:45 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Possibly related to this bug - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/499940 | 15:46 |
| kedarm | Silver_Fox_: It was pretty up-to-date, but Update Manager did show me some updates which I haven't yet applied. | 15:46 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 499940 in linux (Ubuntu Lucid) (and 5 other projects) "[lucid regression] does not resume from hibernation, restarts fresh (affects: 39) (dups: 3) (heat: 197)" [High,Invalid] | 15:46 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Thought that was was fuxed | 15:46 |
| Silver_Fox_ | *fixed | 15:46 |
| kedarm | Silver_Fox_: I have SSD, if that matters. | 15:46 |
| kedarm | The problem is that since it has grub2 and the only OS is Lucid Lynx, I can't change the boot menu to add additional options, it just goes to Lynx and never boots :( | 15:47 |
| kedarm | Actually, I have attempted to restart (Ctrl+Alt+Del), but it never comes up. So, basically, I have managed to screw it up completely. | 15:51 |
| kedarm | Unfortunately, virtual terminals too seem to be defunct :(. | 15:54 |
| kedarm | Would booting using a USB disk image let me boot it and then recover? | 15:57 |
| kedarm | So, my "failure to wake up from hibernate" problem is now "just can't boot into Lucid Lynx anymore" problem. | 16:10 |
| kedarm | Is there anything I can do before reinstalling? | 16:10 |
| geirha | Hm. | 16:22 |
| geirha | There's no way to get to the boot-menu in grub2? (I haven't used grub2 much) | 16:22 |
| kedarm | geirha: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 says: The default behavior is to hide the menu if only one operating system is present. | 16:27 |
| geirha | Ah, but it will wait for a little while, with a blank screen, so you should be able to hit a key at the right point to get to the menu. | 16:31 |

| john___ | I want to try unbuntu. I can buy a Dell where it is preloaded for $400 or save $150 and buy and laptop and load it on. Which way to go? I'm a proficient entreprenerial PHP programmer and need to learn Linux to get a job for that regular income. Thanks. | 19:09 |
| sardonyx | john___, i'd buy the laptop, ubuntu is really easy to load... | 19:18 |
| john___ | Save the money, got it. So far looks easy. I still have CD around. | 19:19 |
| geirha | Before you do, though, google "Ubuntu <laptop model>" and/or see if you find it at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/Laptop/Lucid/Reports | 19:19 |
| john___ | looking... | 19:19 |
| geirha | The main problem with linux is that many hardware manufacturers don't bother writing drivers for linux | 19:19 |
| john___ | Oh yes, I've heard that. I don't do much else but maybe one day will. | 19:20 |
| geirha | There's a lot of drivers written by the linux community though, but not every single hardware out there is supported | 19:21 |
| john___ | so that list is of laptops with ubunta? | 19:21 |
| geirha | People have installed Ubuntu on their laptops, then made a report on what works and what doesn't for their model. | 19:22 |
| john___ | I see, they loaded "Lucid Desktop Live" and checked if it workd. | 19:22 |
| john___ | What ubuntu version am I downloading now? | 19:23 |
| john___ | Desktop edition... | 19:23 |
| geirha | You should download Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Lucid Lynx | 19:23 |
| geirha | Yes, the desktop edition | 19:23 |
| john___ | Okay, I'll look for that one then. | 19:23 |
| john___ | http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/download | 19:24 |
| john___ | That is the one I'm downloading. Thanks for your help, by the way! | 19:24 |
| geirha | It's the newest stable release, so that's the one you'll be downloading unless you specifically select a different one. | 19:24 |
