[06:43] <reaper_> anyone awake in here
[06:46] <firewall_03> whats up?
[06:46] <reaper_> how do you mount cd/dvd drive
[06:46] <firewall_03> man mnt
[06:46] <bioterror> sudo mnt /dev/sr0 /mnt
[06:46] <bioterror> asdasd
[06:46] <bioterror> sudo mount /dev/sr0 /mnt
[06:46] <bioterror> sudo umount /mnt unmounts
[06:47] <firewall_03> so my toolbar at the top vanished in my xubuntu session any ideas?
[06:48] <bioterror> start xfce4-panel
[06:48] <bioterror> alt+f2 and type that into it
[06:48] <firewall_03> bioterror, k thanks
[06:49] <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 ;)
[06:50] <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
[06:51] <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
[06:52] <reaper_> sounds like fun
[06:53] <bioterror> no its not :D
[06:53] <bioterror> but beats shoveling in that -8C degress
[06:53] <reaper_> yeah
[06:56] <firewall_03> bioterror, whats your location?
[06:56] <bioterror> soviet finland
[06:57] <firewall_03> bioterror, I spent a week in Krygyzstan that was an experience
[06:57] <bioterror> there was that riot about a year ago?
[06:58] <firewall_03> I was at Manas air base
[06:58] <firewall_03> I think I left right before or arrived right after
[07:04] <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?
[07:09] <firewall_03> bioterror, so hows the work comin along
[07:16] <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
[07:17] <PCChris> bioterror, just strange because I know it was writable before
[07:19] <yofel> chmod/own should only fail if it's FAT or NTFS, but then it should mount it as owned by you by default
[07:20] <PCChris> yofel, bioterror hmm....reformatting seems to have fixed the issue for now...and it's fat32
[07:21] <PCChris> yofel, bioterror thanks
[07:23] <firewall_03> so the conky channels dea
[07:23] <firewall_03> dead rather
[07:30] <bioterror> firewall_03, problems with conky you have?
[07:49] <bioterror> Tue09:30 <+bioterror> firewall_03, problems with conky you have?
[08:13] <firewall_03> just having a heck of time getting the weather to work right
[08:14] <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
[08:15] <firewall_03> bioterror, did not know google did weather
[08:15] <bioterror> my irc client uses google weather information
[08:16] <firewall_03> what client you use?
[08:16] <bioterror> weechat
[08:16] <bioterror> www.weechat.org
[08:17] <firewall_03> ahh
[08:17] <firewall_03> never heard of it
[08:18] <bioterror> weechat - Fast, light and extensible chat client
[08:18] <bioterror> can be found from ubuntu repositories
[08:19] <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> ;)
[08:20] <firewall_03> lol sounds archaic
[08:20] <bioterror> install weeget script and you can install scripts from the client itself
[08:27] <hobgoblin> it is archaic ;)
[08:28] <hobgoblin> but useful in some circumstances
[08:44] <firewall_03> bioterror,  my isp sucks *shakes head
[08:45] <bioterror> well, mine aint that better tbqh
[08:45] <firewall_03> I want to blame my router or my modem but don't want to upgrade
[08:46] <JoeMaverickSett> firewall_03: blame the isp or better the modem. :D
[08:46] <firewall_03> haha its a pos modem they mailed me
[08:47] <JoeMaverickSett> then it's the modem to blame. XD
[08:47] <bioterror> I've got 2 totally crap DOCSIS 3.0 cable modems :D
[08:47] <bioterror> my ISP likes to send those
[08:50] <firewall_03> they give me westells
[08:50] <firewall_03> garbage
[08:51] <bioterror> those are bewan iBox or something like that
[08:52] <bioterror> I changed my first bewan to Cisco EPC3000 and my internet got better
[08:52] <firewall_03> cisco is awesome
[09:02] <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
[09:03] <JoeMaverickSett> bioterror: too very slow. :D
[09:03] <firewall_03> bioterror, so I downloaded weechat how to I get it to run now :p
[09:04] <bioterror> firewall_03, with command weechat
[09:04] <JoeMaverickSett> firewall_03: terminal of course. :D

[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] <JoeMaverickSett> hobgoblin: definitely. XD
[09:09] <JoeMaverickSett> bioterror: trying something new makes me hop on newer/newest things. :D

[16:16] <firewall_03> hey bodhizazen hows it goin?
[16:47] <spyder> Hi, I am new to Ubuntu, and my experience lends more to Win.  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 
[16:48] <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?
[16:53] <rahul27> spyder, you there?
[16:54] <spyder> yes
[16:54] <spyder> please tell me you can help?
[16:54] <rahul27> this link may help you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[16:55] <rahul27> do you have a live cd?
[16:55] <spyder> no
[16:55] <spyder> ok, even though windows was the first os?
[16:55] <spyder> i did it through webu or whatever that was
[16:56] <spyder> i made a cd, but it kept giving me an error
[16:56] <rahul27> hehehe
[16:56] <rahul27> its Wubi
[16:57] <rahul27> anyway did you download the iso?
[16:57] <spyder> i couldn't get either hd to work, had to put in another one to be able to get on here and research
[16:57] <spyder> the iso i downloaded is on one of the hd's that i cannot access right now
[16:57] <spyder> but I can download again
[16:57] <rahul27> oh ok
[16:57] <rahul27> great then
[16:58] <rahul27> do you have a flash drive?
[16:58] <spyder> yes, only a 4g.... is that enough?
[16:58] <rahul27> yeah
[16:58] <rahul27> download the iso
[16:58] <spyder> k....
[16:58] <rahul27> load it to the pendrive using this: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[16:59] <rahul27> im assuming you are on windows
[16:59] <spyder> k....
[16:59] <rahul27> are you?
[17:00] <spyder> yes, winxp
[17:00] <rahul27> once you have your ubuntu live cd on your pendrive
[17:01] <rahul27> boot from the pendrive and follow the instructions on the 1st link that I sent you
[17:02] <spyder> ok. I appreciate your help. Just so I know for future reference, what did I do wrong?
[17:03] <rahul27> spyder, think you got your grub update wrong
[17:04] <spyder> will this make me lose data on my winxp hd?
[17:05] <rahul27> naah
[17:06] <spyder> k....ty.
[17:06] <rahul27> it will just restore your grub
[19:17] <firewall_03> hows it going?
