| fatharrahman | I don't understand a bit of this : http://paste.ubuntu.com/535706/ | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| fatharrahman | I was typing mv --help to read how to use it then came the what i pasted what that mean did i typed it wrong? | 00:10 |
| yofel | fatharrahman: I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/535709/ | 00:12 |
| fatharrahman | if i wanna remove a file called helloworld.cp to ~/Music do you mean to write :mv s helloworld~/Music ? | 00:16 |
| fatharrahman | am I too stupid ? or is too difficult ? | 00:17 |
| yofel | erm, I don't quite understand what suffix is here either, never used it, just use 'mv helloworld.cp ~/Music' | 00:18 |
| fatharrahman | this is the outcome | 00:19 |
| fatharrahman | fatharrahman@fatharrahman-HP-Mini-110-1100:~$ mv shelloworl.cp~/Music | 00:19 |
| fatharrahman | mv: missing destination file operand after `shelloworl.cp~/Music' | 00:19 |
| fatharrahman | Try `mv --help' for more information. | 00:19 |
| yofel | erm, you're missing a space before the ~ | 00:20 |
| yofel | to mv what you wrote is 'move file "shelloworl.cp~/Music" to err... where?' | 00:21 |
| fatharrahman | ok | 00:21 |
| fatharrahman | step by step | 00:21 |
| fatharrahman | let me create a file in ~ by terminal | 00:22 |
| yofel | you need 'mv<space>file/folder-to-move<space>destination' | 00:22 |
| fatharrahman | create a file for me in terminal | 00:22 |
| fatharrahman | for example | 00:22 |
| yofel | 'touch testfile' will create an empty file | 00:22 |
| yofel | called testfile | 00:23 |
| yofel | (touch usually updates timestamps of a file, but creates the file if it doesn't exist. Handy for creating empty files) | 00:23 |
| fatharrahman | just type touchfile then press enter? | 00:23 |
| fatharrahman | ok | 00:24 |
| yofel | why are you removing the space always? it's: touch *SPACE* testfile | 00:24 |
| fatharrahman | ok | 00:24 |
| yofel | that's what mv complained too | 00:24 |
| fatharrahman | I typed touch testfile what then ? | 00:25 |
| yofel | you want a move example?, try 'mv testfile /tmp' note the 2 spaces | 00:26 |
| fatharrahman | aha! | 00:26 |
| fatharrahman | ok | 00:26 |
| fatharrahman | nice | 00:27 |
| fatharrahman | now how to check that the file went to where I moved it? | 00:27 |
| fatharrahman | testfile | 00:27 |
| brennydoogles | hey all! | 00:28 |
| fatharrahman | Hi | 00:28 |
| zkriesse | hi fatharrahman | 00:28 |
| fatharrahman | Hi | 00:28 |
| yofel | hey brennydoogles | 00:28 |
| brennydoogles | ibuclaw, you here? | 00:28 |
| brennydoogles | How's life yofel ? | 00:28 |
| yofel | so far good, bedtime soon though :P | 00:29 |
| yofel | fatharrahman: ls /tmp and see if it's listed | 00:29 |
| fatharrahman | yofel is exhausted with a very stupid novice | 00:29 |
| brennydoogles | What timezone are you in yofel? | 00:29 |
| ibuclaw | brennydoogles, I'm just about to leave, why are you asking? | 00:29 |
| brennydoogles | You are an admin in the Tutorials section right? | 00:30 |
| ibuclaw | all mods are | 00:30 |
| brennydoogles | ok | 00:30 |
| yofel | brennydoogles: germany, so gmt+1 (1:30 am right now) | 00:30 |
| brennydoogles | Is there a moderation queue for posting tutorials? | 00:30 |
| fatharrahman | oh yofel I loved you it is there | 00:30 |
| fatharrahman | this is learning | 00:31 |
| yofel | fatharrahman: you can use 'mv -v file destination' so it prints a confirmation of what it did | 00:31 |
| brennydoogles | ibuclaw, the reason I ask is that I posted a tutorial that isn't showing up | 00:31 |
| brennydoogles | so I thought either there was a network hiccup or it was in some sort of moderation queue | 00:32 |
| fatharrahman | now I can read the rest thank you yofel you rescued me really | 00:32 |
| yofel | n | 00:32 |
| fatharrahman | yes | 00:32 |
| yofel | *no probelm | 00:32 |
| yofel | now I'm really tired, good night and bye | 00:32 |
| fatharrahman | Good night Boss | 00:33 |
| fatharrahman | thank you again Boss | 00:33 |
| brennydoogles | night yofel | 00:33 |
| brennydoogles | any idea ibuclaw? | 00:34 |
| ibuclaw | brennydoogles, all posts are moderated in that forum | 00:37 |
| ibuclaw | when someone reviews it and validates it, it will show | 00:38 |
| brennydoogles | ok | 00:38 |
| brennydoogles | great | 00:38 |
| brennydoogles | Just wanted to make sure I didn't have to retype it | 00:38 |
| brennydoogles | lol | 00:38 |
| brennydoogles | have a great night! | 00:38 |

| davendizz | hi, when i click on anything under the places menu in ubuntu, a movie player comes up instead of the appropriate folder. any ideas? | 10:46 |
| bioterror | sounds weird | 10:46 |
| Silver_Fox_ | davendizz, Has it only recently being doing that? | 10:48 |
| davendizz | yes | 10:49 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Can you remember the last thing that was changed prior to it doing that? | 10:49 |
| Silver_Fox_ | It may help us work out whats wrong as it is very strange | 10:49 |
| davendizz | the only thing i can think of is trying to drag an icon into the player | 10:50 |
| UndiFineD | I had that issue too davendizz : fixed it by ubuntu-tweak | 10:50 |
| davendizz | sorry, what's ubuntu tweak? | 10:51 |
| UndiFineD | http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ | 10:51 |
| UndiFineD | the issue is something with (mime?) nautilus file extensions | 10:53 |
| UndiFineD | and somehow everything turned into a media file | 10:53 |
| UndiFineD | in ubuntu-tweak: system > file type manager | 10:55 |
| === Administrator is now known as Guest25295 | ||
| UndiFineD | i am sure there is an other way to solve it, but this is the one i know that works | 10:55 |
| duaneipho | setting which app opens a file type? | 10:56 |
| UndiFineD | yep | 10:57 |
| === Guest25295 is now known as mac21 | ||
| mac21 | I'm in deep do do. | 10:58 |
| Silver_Fox_ | mac21, why? | 10:59 |
| mac21 | Installed 10.04 using wubi. Everything fine then OS said I need to update. Ran update and it asked if I wanted not to install Grub. I didn't check the box. It then said what partion so I told it the second partion. When reboot I get error:no such device and a hex string. Then the propt drops to Grub Rescue. | 11:02 |
| mac21 | How do I get rid of Grub? | 11:02 |
| duaneipho | I am not in front of a machine | 11:02 |
| duaneipho | mac21: you have to install another bootloader | 11:03 |
| mac21 | If I go to XP rescue and run the fixmbr command will that do it? | 11:03 |
| bioterror | that hex string is a uuid | 11:04 |
| bioterror | it's wrong | 11:04 |
| mac21 | Do u want to see it? | 11:04 |
| davendizz | undefined | 11:04 |
| bioterror | mac21, boot with LiveCD and tweak it correct | 11:04 |
| duaneipho | mac21: look at the grub2 page on the ubuntu wiki | 11:05 |
| bioterror | wubi seems to arrange a lot of problems to users :G | 11:05 |
| duaneipho | help.ubuntu.com/grub2. I think it is | 11:06 |
| duaneipho | it has instructions oninstalling grub from prompt | 11:07 |
| bioterror | I would rather boot with LiveCD or something, and stab /boot/grub/grub.cfg use correct uuid | 11:07 |
| duaneipho | ok I am headed home. see you all when I get in front of a real computer. real co | 11:09 |
| duaneipho | real computer != iphone | 11:09 |
| mac21 | Bioterror what do you mean by "stab"? | 11:22 |
| bioterror | edit | 11:23 |
| mac21 | Sorry, I really am a total nOOb. Edit what? | 11:23 |
| mac21 | R U still there? | 11:27 |
| bioterror | you should mount that your drive and then edit the /boot/grub/grub.cfg | 11:30 |
| bioterror | first you should find out the UUID of that partition | 11:30 |
| mac21 | OK | 11:30 |
| duanedesign | UndiFineD: right-click -> Properties -> Open With <----to set the application that opens a file type FWIW | 11:31 |
| bioterror | mac21, sudo blkid | 11:32 |
| bioterror | tells you the UUID's | 11:32 |
| mac21 | This might be important. I installed to partion D which is not my regular boot drive. C is. So I'm guessing Grub is on D. | 11:33 |
| bioterror | I dont know wubi, but usually grub is installed on /dev/sda | 11:34 |
| bioterror | not sda1 or sda2, just plain sda | 11:34 |
| mac21 | But the sda should be in the virtual disk, right? | 11:36 |
| mac21 | And that on drive D? | 11:36 |
| UndiFineD | duanedesign, this is not so much about a single file type as it is about opening folders of the places menu | 11:39 |
| UndiFineD | the other way for davendizz to do this was ALT+F2: nautilus, right click any folder, open with..> nautilus, check as default | 11:44 |
| UndiFineD | but that particular situation he and i had, also screwed other filetypes for me, it might have been installing banshee that caused it, but i am not too sure | 11:46 |
| mac21 | Where is grub located? On drive C or D? | 11:49 |
| duanedesign | UndiFineD: ah, i see | 11:50 |
| mac21 | I mean it looks like I told it to install on Drive D. So if I get rid of it the windows bootloader should work? | 11:51 |
| mac21 | If I don't see a reply after 10 min. should I assume my question is so dumb no one will answer? | 12:02 |

| hobgoblin | Geeky-Boy: never tried a canon printer to be honest - this might help you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrintersCanonPrintersCanonMP620 | 16:02 |
| Geeky-Boy | ok thankyou for the support but do you know where i could get anymore support for my issue ?? (anything other than canon cause they dont want anything to do with it) | 16:06 |
| hobgoblin | hang about - someone might have done it/seen it | 16:07 |
| Geeky-Boy | ok cause i have been able to find 32-bit drivers for my printer & 64-bit drivers for the printer 2 models older than mine, and those drivers dont work too well.. | 16:09 |
| Geeky-Boy | but that aside i was also wondering if there is anyway to override the "allow executing bit" on .exe files and set the settings to always allow ?? | 16:10 |

| arriva13 | hey everyone :) | 18:03 |
| hobgoblin | o/ | 18:03 |
| arriva13 | i am new to ubuntu, i just installed it from windows 7 and i want to ask, where can i find my C: disc...becasue i only can see my D: DATA disc...can anyone help me with that?? thanks a lot :) | 18:04 |
| aveilleux | arriva13: Ubuntu doesn't use drive lettering. The root directory / is the root of what was formerly your C:\ disc. | 18:06 |
| aveilleux | arriva13: Why do you need to get there? | 18:06 |
| arriva13 | i am using both systems | 18:06 |
| arriva13 | and i ve got a lot of stuff in my download folder | 18:07 |
| arriva13 | :) | 18:07 |
| aveilleux | arriva13: You're dual-booting? | 18:07 |
| aveilleux | arriva13: So by C:\ you actually mean your Windows partition. | 18:08 |
| hobgoblin | arriva13: if youa re using wubi - ubuntu inside windows your c will be in /host or /hosts I believe | 18:09 |
| arriva13 | i have found it, thank you very much...it was in the host directory in deed :) | 18:12 |
| hobgoblin | in future if you need help - sometimes using wubi will make a difference to the answer - always useful to tell people ;) | 18:14 |
| aveilleux | arriva13: Yeah, if you're not using Wubi then it would have been in /media instead | 18:15 |
| arriva13 | ok, thanks :) | 18:15 |
| arriva13 | didnt know the difference | 18:15 |
| arriva13 | :) | 18:15 |
| hobgoblin | I realise that :) | 18:16 |
| arriva13 | i tried the 6.04 a long time ago, but it was too complicated :) so i never had time to deal with it...but i like the new version | 18:16 |
| arriva13 | :) | 18:16 |
| arriva13 | what else is different when using wubi? | 18:17 |
| hobgoblin | cool - well have fun - do bear in mind that in the long term it will be better to move to a 'real' install | 18:17 |
| arriva13 | yeah...i want to give it a chance, but later on i will consider dual boot :) | 18:17 |
| hobgoblin | results of partition requests will be different - there are not a lot of differences - but some make it a bit of a head scratch moment | 18:18 |
| hobgoblin | I'm not really the best person to talk to about wubi - I'd not FUD - but I don't like it :) it does though serve it's purpose | 18:18 |
| arriva13 | ok :) i will give it a try and then i will decide whether to make a dual boot :) | 18:19 |
| arriva13 | thanks a lot anyway :) | 18:19 |
