RahiI cannt configure empthy for IRC16:12
Rahithe room #ubuntu-beginners        how can I make it work in empthy?16:13
IAmNotThatGuyNice. leave after asking questions :P16:14
CassandraKosI have done my best to solve my filesystem issues on my own, after I was told to stop whinging and start mining last week, but I cannot get fstab to automount my drives at all and even after following all the advice I have received, my filesystem still crashes several times a day, requiring a computer restart (cold boot) to remedy the error. I believe the problems may occur when a programme called run-parts operates, appa16:17
CassandraKosI will not leve now!16:17
IAmNotThatGuyCassandraKos: What version of Ubuntu? 10.04 ?16:18
CassandraKosI did leave after I was told off, but I have not given up on helping or being helped16:18
CassandraKos8.0416:18
duanedesignrun-parts runs every script in a given directory16:18
CassandraKostried the upgrade, which seemed to start all the troubles I am having16:18
CassandraKosright - so that would be the cron.hourly dir16:19
CassandraKosbut it is empty16:19
IAmNotThatGuyis this some kinda error? "run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs 2.6.36-rc1-rday /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.36-rc1-rday"16:20
shahanI want to use IRC from my Empathy 2.30.216:21
duanedesignshahan: having trouble configuring it?16:21
IAmNotThatGuyshahan: Empathy will not be listing the users name when you are in a channel16:21
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy: that sounds like just a report of something that happened, but probably not an error, I think16:22
shahanIAmNotThatGuy: listing? what kind of listing?16:22
shahanduanedesign: ya16:22
IAmNotThatGuyCassandraKos: so you are having issue related with Corn right? and is it after an update/upgrade?16:22
duanedesignshahan: which part is giving you trouble?16:23
shahanduanedesign: my terget is to reach in this room where I am now, from the Empathy 2.30.216:24
shahanduanedesign: Edit>Accounts16:24
shahanduanedesign: what Network will I select?16:24
duanedesignshahan: freenode16:25
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy: the upgrade attempt trashed my install so I reinstalled 8.04 but it is behaving differently from its first install (I suspect because some packages updated and function slightly differently) so I now have issues I never had before and I think cron is not helping16:25
IAmNotThatGuyshahan: you have to click add button to add an account and you can see IRC16:26
shahanduanedesign: selected.... then I have given the Nickname, Password, Realname16:26
shahanIAmNotThatGuy: I know16:26
duanedesignand click the enabled box16:27
shahanduanedesign: ya... done everything16:27
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy: I had cut cron off before, but do not recall how I did it as it was under instruction from someone here16:27
IAmNotThatGuyCassandraKos: Is there any reason in staying at 8.04?16:27
shahanlet me give the screenshot16:28
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy: since the upgrade to 10.04 trashed my system, I thought I would stick to the devil I know16:28
IAmNotThatGuyyou cannot upgrade to 10.04 directly from 8.0416:29
IAmNotThatGuyI think that is what the upgrade issue is16:29
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy: it was the Update Manager's idea - I just did what it told me to16:29
IAmNotThatGuyCassandraKos: you can download a fresh 10.04 LTS from ubuntu.com16:29
shahancheck the screenshot http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2860/ircp.png16:29
IAmNotThatGuyCassandraKos: It is because, many files will be upgraded from one version to the next version.16:30
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy: ah, yes, but I cannot burn it as I have lost that ability along with the reliability of my fs16:30
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy: I have a dl of 10.04, but no way to create a live cd16:31
IAmNotThatGuyCassandraKos: Can you find any Local Community around you?16:31
IAmNotThatGuyCassandraKos: you can get a Disk from them or you can request canonical if you have no other choice16:31
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy: no idea - I am housebound and don't get out16:31
=== shahan_ is now known as shahan
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy: but will 10.04 be any better? Lot of trouble to go to for no known benefit16:32

IAmNotThatGuyCassandraKos: Lucid is awesome and what is your machine configuration?16:33
IAmNotThatGuyCassandraKos: you have to register at launchpad.net and then you have to subscribe for ubuntu 10.04 at https://shipit.ubuntu.com/16:33
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy: it is an old machine - two 500MHz processors and an Asustek m/b with just 384Mb RAM - the newer distros have trouble with my computer anyway16:33
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy:tried to jin launchpad but cannot get an account16:34
IAmNotThatGuyCassandraKos: you got any issues? what they said?16:34
IAmNotThatGuyCassandraKos: It is good to stay with 8.04 and had you tried re-installing from any other CD apart from what you used recently?16:36
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy: can't recall why launchpad is off the menu, I think I set up an account once but could not confirm it and now I can't set up another as my email address is already used16:36
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy: I only have the one 8.04 cd - server edition16:37
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy:I suspect that I should be using an even older OS to match my hw16:37
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy:I did try with a Mepis cd, but could not mount my drives in it16:38
IAmNotThatGuyCassandraKos: Okay. try creating a new email and register again. and why server edition?16:39
IAmNotThatGuybrb. mom calls16:40
IAmNotThatGuyand I think your whole Hard drive is infected(If you can't boot any of your volumes)16:40
IAmNotThatGuybrb16:40
CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy: server edition because that is the only live ubuntu cd I had available and I will get a new email account when I switch ISPs, so I will try launchpad again then16:41
=== shahan_ is now known as shahan
CassandraKosI can boot and mount all my volumes, but after some random period of time one or more drives dismounts itself somehow (the syslog shows a cron.hourly entry just before) and then it will not remount until after a reboot, but unless I do a cold start. The drive volume ids change, also apparently randomly (I hate computers that do random things, they should not be able to). First off, my boot drive will be sda1, then it will16:46
CassandraKosI suspect that is I could get my fstab entries right, all else would fall into place, but I cannot work out how to assign both an UUID and a mountpoint such as /dev/sda1 or /dev/SciFiSeries16:49
IAmNotThatGuyCassandraKos: Better register and get another CD or buy a new machine if you can ;)17:01

CassandraKosIAmNotThatGuy: I doubt the cd is the issue, pet. I suspect the 713 devices set up and some of the other decisions made by the assemblers of the distro are unsuitable for my hardware, so I shall try another distro and stop hassling you folk. It's been fun. I have learned some stuff from people here and I am grateful for the efforts.17:24
IAmNotThatGuyGood luck CassandraKos (:17:25
CassandraKosThanks - gonna try Foresight Linux next, free CD from linux Format magazine, hope it works! Have a good day.17:26
