[00:16] <dengaku_sco> would it be kosher to ask about Wine in here?

[15:16] <philinux> Silver_Fox_: just messing about today

[16:12] <Rahi> I cannt configure empthy for IRC
[16:13] <Rahi> the room #ubuntu-beginners        how can I make it work in empthy?
[16:14] <IAmNotThatGuy> Nice. leave after asking questions :P
[16:17] <CassandraKos> I 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, appa
[16:17] <CassandraKos> I will not leve now!
[16:18] <IAmNotThatGuy> CassandraKos: What version of Ubuntu? 10.04 ?
[16:18] <CassandraKos> I did leave after I was told off, but I have not given up on helping or being helped
[16:18] <CassandraKos> 8.04
[16:18] <duanedesign> run-parts runs every script in a given directory
[16:18] <CassandraKos> tried the upgrade, which seemed to start all the troubles I am having
[16:19] <CassandraKos> right - so that would be the cron.hourly dir
[16:19] <CassandraKos> but it is empty
[16:20] <IAmNotThatGuy> is this some kinda error? "run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs 2.6.36-rc1-rday /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.36-rc1-rday"
[16:21] <shahan> I want to use IRC from my Empathy 2.30.2
[16:21] <duanedesign> shahan: having trouble configuring it?
[16:21] <IAmNotThatGuy> shahan: Empathy will not be listing the users name when you are in a channel
[16:22] <CassandraKos> IAmNotThatGuy: that sounds like just a report of something that happened, but probably not an error, I think
[16:22] <shahan> IAmNotThatGuy: listing? what kind of listing?
[16:22] <shahan> duanedesign: ya
[16:22] <IAmNotThatGuy> CassandraKos: so you are having issue related with Corn right? and is it after an update/upgrade?
[16:23] <duanedesign> shahan: which part is giving you trouble?
[16:24] <shahan> duanedesign: my terget is to reach in this room where I am now, from the Empathy 2.30.2
[16:24] <shahan> duanedesign: Edit>Accounts
[16:24] <shahan> duanedesign: what Network will I select?
[16:25] <duanedesign> shahan: freenode
[16:25] <CassandraKos> IAmNotThatGuy: 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 helping
[16:26] <IAmNotThatGuy> shahan: you have to click add button to add an account and you can see IRC
[16:26] <shahan> duanedesign: selected.... then I have given the Nickname, Password, Realname
[16:26] <shahan> IAmNotThatGuy: I know
[16:27] <duanedesign> and click the enabled box
[16:27] <shahan> duanedesign: ya... done everything
[16:27] <CassandraKos> ﻿IAmNotThatGuy: I had cut cron off before, but do not recall how I did it as it was under instruction from someone here
[16:27] <IAmNotThatGuy> CassandraKos: Is there any reason in staying at 8.04?
[16:28] <shahan> let me give the screenshot
[16:28] <CassandraKos> ﻿IAmNotThatGuy: since the upgrade to 10.04 trashed my system, I thought I would stick to the devil I know
[16:29] <IAmNotThatGuy> you cannot upgrade to 10.04 directly from 8.04
[16:29] <IAmNotThatGuy> I think that is what the upgrade issue is
[16:29] <CassandraKos> ﻿IAmNotThatGuy: it was the Update Manager's idea - I just did what it told me to
[16:29] <IAmNotThatGuy> CassandraKos: you can download a fresh 10.04 LTS from ubuntu.com
[16:29] <shahan> check the screenshot http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2860/ircp.png
[16:30] <IAmNotThatGuy> CassandraKos: It is because, many files will be upgraded from one version to the next version.
[16:30] <CassandraKos> ﻿IAmNotThatGuy: ah, yes, but I cannot burn it as I have lost that ability along with the reliability of my fs
[16:31] <CassandraKos> ﻿IAmNotThatGuy: I have a dl of 10.04, but no way to create a live cd
[16:31] <IAmNotThatGuy> CassandraKos: Can you find any Local Community around you?
[16:31] <IAmNotThatGuy> CassandraKos: you can get a Disk from them or you can request canonical if you have no other choice
[16:31] <CassandraKos> ﻿IAmNotThatGuy: no idea - I am housebound and don't get out
[16:32] <CassandraKos> ﻿IAmNotThatGuy: but will 10.04 be any better? Lot of trouble to go to for no known benefit
[16:33] <IAmNotThatGuy> CassandraKos: Lucid is awesome and what is your machine configuration?
[16:33] <IAmNotThatGuy> CassandraKos: you have to register at launchpad.net and then you have to subscribe for ubuntu 10.04 at https://shipit.ubuntu.com/
[16:33] <CassandraKos> ﻿IAmNotThatGuy: 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 anyway
[16:34] <CassandraKos> ﻿IAmNotThatGuy:tried to jin launchpad but cannot get an account
[16:34] <IAmNotThatGuy> CassandraKos: you got any issues? what they said?
[16:36] <IAmNotThatGuy> CassandraKos: 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] <CassandraKos> ﻿IAmNotThatGuy: 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 used
[16:37] <CassandraKos> ﻿IAmNotThatGuy: I only have the one 8.04 cd - server edition
[16:37] <CassandraKos> ﻿IAmNotThatGuy:I suspect that I should be using an even older OS to match my hw
[16:38] <CassandraKos> ﻿IAmNotThatGuy:I did try with a Mepis cd, but could not mount my drives in it
[16:39] <IAmNotThatGuy> CassandraKos: Okay. try creating a new email and register again. and why server edition?
[16:40] <IAmNotThatGuy> brb. mom calls
[16:40] <IAmNotThatGuy> and I think your whole Hard drive is infected(If you can't boot any of your volumes)
[16:40] <IAmNotThatGuy> brb
[16:41] <CassandraKos> ﻿IAmNotThatGuy: 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 then
[16:46] <CassandraKos> I 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 will
[16:49] <CassandraKos> I 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/SciFiSeries
[17:01] <IAmNotThatGuy> CassandraKos: Better register and get another CD or buy a new machine if you can ;)
[17:24] <CassandraKos> ﻿IAmNotThatGuy: 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.
[17:25] <IAmNotThatGuy> Good luck CassandraKos (:
[17:26] <CassandraKos> Thanks - gonna try Foresight Linux next, free CD from linux Format magazine, hope it works! Have a good day.
