[14:01] <reya276> Mangopen61
[14:01] <reya276> Morning Everyone
[14:17] <maxolasersquad> mhall119: Sorry, yep it is working now.
[14:21] <dantalizing> morning
[14:22] <reya276> oh oh for some reason I can use or mount any USB flash drives
[14:22] <reya276> *I can't
[14:23] <reya276> I keep getting a MSG about not having permission or that External is not the correct drive???
[14:23] <reya276> weird
[15:38] <itnet7> Morning, anyone testdriving Natty Alpha 1 using the desktop disk and experiencing Unity freezing up?
[15:39] <itnet7> s/desktop disk/desktop iso
[15:39] <reya276> nope I'm stuck on a system wide Hard Drive mounting error
[15:39] <dantalizing> itnet7: it was flakey for me ... i've quit using it since ...
[15:39] <dantalizing> i got random freezes or screen redraw issues
[15:40] <itnet7> Thanks dantalizing, sounds similar
[15:40] <itnet7> reya276: what has changed on your system?
[15:41] <reya276> nothing, I think what happen was that the external drive I had before broke so I replaced it and now it is malfunctioning
[15:41] <itnet7> ah
[15:41] <reya276> could be because the ID changed
[15:41] <reya276> so now even when I try to mount a USB drive it fails
[15:41] <itnet7> have you tried to update /etc/fstab?
[15:42] <reya276> so I can't create a startup disk or anything
[15:42] <itnet7> with the correct id?
[15:42] <reya276> no, want to help me with that
[15:42] <itnet7> Sure, give me a sec
[15:42] <reya276> I would not even know how to obtain the ID
[15:43] <reya276> I actually need to fix it that drive so that I can re-start backing up my system
[15:44] <reya276> I also wanted to partition that new drive so I can install Kubuntu 10.10 on it but I can due to this issue
[15:44] <reya276> so I'm totally stuck
[15:44] <itnet7> so run this at a terminal: ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
[15:44] <itnet7> does it show your new uuid?
[15:45] <reya276> total 0
[15:45] <reya276> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 2011-01-04 11:53 0b0dae67-1f57-479a-b6bb-f9d40b83e5ef -> ../../sda5

[15:45] <itnet7> let me check something
[15:46] <itnet7> Is the external drive connected?
[15:46] <reya276> right now the HD seems to be mapped to a Directory called External
[15:46] <reya276> yes
[15:46] <itnet7> what happens when you type: sudo fdisk -l
[15:47] <reya276> I have an external SATA connection
[15:47] <reya276> one sec let me pastebin this
[15:47] <itnet7> can you thanks
[15:48] <itnet7> and this too if you don't mind... : mount
[15:48] <reya276> http://paste.ubuntu.com/551116/
[15:49] <reya276> mind, you are helping me dude
[15:49] <itnet7> :-)
[15:49] <reya276> http://paste.ubuntu.com/551117/
[15:50] <itnet7> sorry no colon just mount
[15:52] <itnet7> reya276: can post the output of the mount command without adding the colon, so just mount all by itself
[15:53] <itnet7> s/can/can you/
[15:53] <reya276> k
[15:54] <reya276> http://paste.ubuntu.com/551122/
[15:58] <reya276> itnet7: Here is the content of my /etc/fstab file as well http://paste.ubuntu.com/551127/
[16:10] <itnet7> reya276: just trying to see if I can narrow down what you need to do in order to fix it so give me a few bbiab
[16:11] <reya276> k
[16:16] <itnet7> reya276: one more pastebin... output of: cat /etc/mtab
[16:18] <reya276> k
[16:19] <reya276> http://paste.ubuntu.com/551139/
[16:25] <itnet7> I would try commenting out the last line in your /etc/fstab
[16:25] <itnet7> the one that says /dev/sdb1 /External
[16:25] <itnet7> do a quick dmesg command before you plug in the drive
[16:26] <itnet7> then do dmesg again and see what it reports after plugging in the drive
[16:39] <maxolasersquad> Total fail.  Received an e-mail from my company about the dangers of flourscent bulbs, immediately followed up with the snopes article debunking it.
[17:07] <reya276> itnet7, I did what you said but nothing changed
[17:34]  * MichelleQ just signed up to do a session for User Days.
[17:34] <MichelleQ> woot?
[17:44] <maxolasersquad> MichelleQ: Woot!
[17:44] <MichelleQ> what possesses me to do these things, I'll never know.  But here goes nothing!
[18:53] <itnet7> reya276: no change to dmesg after commenting out that line in fstab and unplugging and replugging it in?
[19:10] <reya276> Hey does anyone know how many concurrent connections does SQL Server 2000 can have?
[19:11] <reya276> itnet7, it does not seem like it but then again I could be wrong since I'm not a linux pro
[19:11] <itnet7> reya276: pm?
[19:11] <reya276> huh?
[19:12] <itnet7> I was just thinking we could pm to continue

[21:44] <dorgan> the ability to setup a database to hold shape information and then a system to sit on top of that to allow you to create new polygons
[21:45] <maxolasersquad> Ok.  I don't have any experience with that.  Only with gathering traces from a GPS and mapping them with a GUI.
[21:45] <maxolasersquad> I contribute to openstreetmap, but don't do any of the backend programming.
[21:47] <mhall119> itnet7: yup, drove all day yesterday
