| bioterror | asdasd | 06:46 |
| bioterror | sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt | 06:46 |
| bioterror | sudo umount /mnt unmounts | 06:46 |
| firewall_03 | so my toolbar at the top vanished in my xubuntu session any ideas? | 06:47 |
| bioterror | start xfce4-panel | 06:48 |
| bioterror | alt+f2 and type that into it | 06:48 |

| reaper_ | mount didnt work still cant get disk to show up in drive to continue installation | 06:49 |
| bioterror | what | 06:49 |
| bioterror | it should be seen in /mnt ;) | 06:49 |
| reaper_ | nope | 06:50 |
| firewall_03 | bioterror, rob@rob-laptop:~/Desktop$ start xfce4-panel | 06:50 |
| firewall_03 | start: Unknown job: xfce4-panel | 06:50 |
| bioterror | firewall_03, hahaha, drop that start from the beginning | 06:50 |
| bioterror | sorry for misleading | 06:50 |
| firewall_03 | bioterror, lol no prob | 06:50 |
| firewall_03 | bioterror, and its back | 06:51 |
| bioterror | I'm trying to do my work at the same time | 06:51 |
| firewall_03 | what work is that? | 06:51 |
| bioterror | local it-support, atm. installing three computers for users | 06:51 |
| reaper_ | sounds like fun | 06:52 |
| bioterror | no its not :D | 06:53 |
| bioterror | but beats shoveling in that -8C degress | 06:53 |
| reaper_ | yeah | 06:53 |
| firewall_03 | bioterror, whats your location? | 06:56 |
| bioterror | soviet finland | 06:56 |
| firewall_03 | bioterror, I spent a week in Krygyzstan that was an experience | 06:57 |
| bioterror | there was that riot about a year ago? | 06:57 |
| firewall_03 | I was at Manas air base | 06:58 |
| firewall_03 | I think I left right before or arrived right after | 06:58 |
| PCChris | anybody know why my flash drive might always auto-mount with perms set to being writable only by root, and sudo chmod as well as sudo chown failing? | 07:04 |
| firewall_03 | bioterror, so hows the work comin along | 07:09 |
| bioterror | PCChris, you should format that flash drive and take the ownership of the device | 07:16 |
| PCChris | bioterror, yeah about to try that now | 07:16 |
| PCChris | bioterror, just strange because I know it was writable before | 07:17 |
| yofel | chmod/own should only fail if it's FAT or NTFS, but then it should mount it as owned by you by default | 07:19 |
| PCChris | yofel, bioterror hmm....reformatting seems to have fixed the issue for now...and it's fat32 | 07:20 |
| PCChris | yofel, bioterror thanks | 07:21 |
| firewall_03 | so the conky channels dea | 07:23 |

| firewall_03 | just having a heck of time getting the weather to work right | 08:13 |
| bioterror | hahaha | 08:14 |
| bioterror | it sucks | 08:14 |
| bioterror | I cant understand why someone havent made a script to fetch weather information from google | 08:14 |
| firewall_03 | yep | 08:14 |
| firewall_03 | bioterror, did not know google did weather | 08:15 |
| bioterror | my irc client uses google weather information | 08:15 |
| firewall_03 | what client you use? | 08:16 |
| bioterror | weechat | 08:16 |
| bioterror | www.weechat.org | 08:16 |
| firewall_03 | ahh | 08:17 |
| firewall_03 | never heard of it | 08:17 |
| bioterror | weechat - Fast, light and extensible chat client | 08:18 |
| bioterror | can be found from ubuntu repositories | 08:18 |
| firewall_03 | ill have to install it | 08:19 |
| firewall_03 | give it a whirl | 08:19 |
| bioterror | yeah | 08:19 |
| bioterror | it's a text based | 08:19 |
| bioterror | ;) | 08:19 |
| firewall_03 | lol sounds archaic | 08:20 |
| bioterror | install weeget script and you can install scripts from the client itself | 08:20 |
| hobgoblin | it is archaic ;) | 08:27 |
| hobgoblin | but useful in some circumstances | 08:28 |

| bioterror | those are bewan iBox or something like that | 08:51 |
| bioterror | I changed my first bewan to Cisco EPC3000 and my internet got better | 08:52 |
| firewall_03 | cisco is awesome | 08:52 |
| bioterror | firewall, you could consider putting your modem/router into a bridged mode and then get yourself an another router | 09:02 |
| bioterror | hahaha, too slow I am | 09:02 |
| JoeMaverickSett | bioterror: too very slow. :D | 09:03 |

| hobgoblin | firewall_03: good decision :) | 09:07 |

| JoeMaverickSett | bioterror: ah, okie. i'll still stick with irssi. XD | 09:07 |
| bioterror | JoeMaverickSett, why?-) | 09:07 |
| bioterror | JoeMaverickSett, try something new ;) | 09:08 |
| JoeMaverickSett | firewall_03: good decision. :-) stay with whatever fits ya. | 09:08 |
| hobgoblin | JoeMaverickSett: try paper and pen - better than either irrsi or weechat :D | 09:08 |
| firewall_03 | JoeMaverickSett, yep still a noob been fiddling with nix for a while so much to learn | 09:08 |

I had a hd running winxp, installed a 2nd hd with ubuntu, no prob, both booted, started going through ubuntu, installing first set of updates, then it popped up with a grub update, with the option to check both disks. In Help, it said if you are unsure which to check it is better to select all. So I did. It needed to reboot. then, after the reboot, when it tries | 16:47 |
| spyder | and numbers), then the next line is the prompt "grub rescue>" | 16:48 |
| spyder | I cannot get past this, I cannot get to windows, safe mode, or ubuntu. Can someone give me some pointers please? | 16:48 |
