| oiaohm | right anyone in here had any dealing with xubuntu 10.10 and ipw2200 driver and got it to work. If so you did want. | 02:51 |
|---|---|---|
| oiaohm | The driver is failing to load firmware | 02:52 |
| bazhang | no wireless signal / connection? | 03:01 |
| bazhang | the drivers are kernel level at this point | 03:02 |
| oiaohm | dmesg tells me it will not load its firmware. | 03:13 |
| oiaohm | Its not getting to the lack of signal point. | 03:13 |
| oiaohm | -1 error | 03:13 |
| oiaohm | Annoying I had to bring this laptop up to speed in 24 hours | 03:21 |
| oiaohm | I am not completely without wireless I do have a pccard. | 03:24 |
| head_victim | Good afternoon, I will be attending a conference locally here in Australia and I was hoping to loop some promotional videos to showcase Ubuntu. To this end I was wondering if such a video exists for Xubuntu? | 07:01 |

| psycho_oreos | you might want to ask that in ##linux instead | 08:05 |
| Ycarene | Yeah, I got no answer there. | 08:54 |

| fdsaseemslegit | Hello everyone. | 19:36 |
| fdsaseemslegit | Anyone here testing Natty? | 19:36 |
| charlie-tca | yes, but support is in #ubuntu+1 for natty | 19:37 |
| Sysi | it has nice new xfce but it's develepment version (and what charlie said) | 19:38 |
| fdsaseemslegit | charlie-tca: What do you think of it and do you think they will release the 2.6.38 to us? | 19:38 |
| fdsaseemslegit | Not looking for support in the wrong spot. | 19:39 |
| charlie-tca | I think it is going to be very good, and will wait to see if they can put the .38 kernel in. According to what I have seen, it is not coming out until April or May, which is too late for natty | 19:40 |
| fdsaseemslegit | I have been waiting since there is already a release client. I was hoping to be bleeding edge with the alpha. :( | 19:40 |
| Sysi | debian philosophy | 19:41 |
| fdsaseemslegit | :| | 19:41 |
| charlie-tca | bleeding edge ain't really all that usable | 19:41 |
| fdsaseemslegit | It makes the issues more obvious though. I don't mind fixing stuff. | 19:42 |
| fdsaseemslegit | With a Distro as widely used as Xubuntu, the more info the better. I can be patient though. I was just hoping. | 19:42 |
| charlie-tca | I would prefer a working image, versus bleeding edge broken image | 19:42 |
| charlie-tca | Have you installed natty? | 19:43 |
| charlie-tca | We are not yet to alpha2, it is pretty bleeding at times | 19:43 |
| fdsaseemslegit | Well if it breaks , either quick fix or revert and cross fingers. I have nothing on this partition but alpha/beta software. | 19:43 |
| fdsaseemslegit | True, I have already found a few things. only upgrading through command line since the update manager daemon is borked right now. >:( | 19:44 |
| charlie-tca | update-manager worked fine here this morning | 19:45 |
| Sysi | always used apt-get | 19:45 |
| fdsaseemslegit | Well, it works once per boot. :D | 19:46 |
| charlie-tca | I try update-manager weekly, to see if it works | 19:46 |
| Sysi | i really miss aptitude, i maybe should file a bug about not getting it to work | 19:46 |
| charlie-tca | daily I use apt-get dist-upgrade | 19:46 |
| fdsaseemslegit | I prefer apt-get, but I must test EVERYTHING | 19:46 |
| Sysi | (i mean missing it on ubuntu, yum is waay nicer to use) | 19:47 |
| fdsaseemslegit | I really have a habit of letting them dictate what goes on this machine, in an effort to allow them the most information from my system profile. | 19:48 |
| fdsaseemslegit | If something is broke, then they know why? | 19:48 |
| fdsaseemslegit | Hopefully. | 19:49 |
| josh2 | how do I get a SD card to mount on boot? | 19:49 |
| fdsaseemslegit | I only have experience really with yast, and apt. My first linux distro was Knoppix live cd | 19:49 |
| danostone | hello | 19:50 |
| fdsaseemslegit | josh2: unetbootin and your machine must allow it thru BIOS | 19:50 |
| danostone | simple question | 19:50 |
| charlie-tca | !ask | danostone | 19:50 |
| ubottu | danostone: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 19:50 |
| danostone | I dont see disc 2 when doing df | 19:50 |
| josh2 | fdsaseemslegit: I am using the sd card as storage, I need it to mount in my currently running xubuntu | 19:50 |
| danostone | charlie-tca calm down I just type as I speak sorry | 19:51 |
| fdsaseemslegit | josh2: I read your question wrong :\, | 19:51 |
| charlie-tca | nothing to calm down about. you asked if you could ask a question, I got you an answer. | 19:52 |
| charlie-tca | Wouldn't it be better not to ask if you can ask? | 19:52 |
| fdsaseemslegit | ^ | 19:52 |
| josh2 | fsaseemslegit: I am just looking for a way to make the card be automounted on boot, I have it set to mount memory cards when hot plugged, but that doesn't mount it on boot, all my music is on the memory card so I want it to automount | 19:52 |
| Sysi | josh2: add it to /etc/fstab | 19:53 |
| Sysi | gksudo mousepad /etc/fstab | 19:53 |
| danostone | ^above ? 'simple question is a statement the question followed in the next sentence are you a bot? | 19:53 |
| Sysi | blkid on terminal lists volumes and uuid:s | 19:53 |
| fdsaseemslegit | You still have yet to ask it, danostone. | 19:54 |
| josh2 | Sysi: what do I add to fstab? | 19:54 |
| charlie-tca | danostone: your question followed after I gave the information about asking | 19:54 |
| charlie-tca | and I don't really see a question anywhere. I see a statement that disc 2 is not seen when doing df. What is the question? | 19:55 |
| Sysi | josh2: new line, looking pretty similar to what's already there | 19:55 |
| danostone | I dont see disc 2 using df -h | 19:55 |
| danostone | why wouldn't I? | 19:55 |
| josh2 | Sysi: Any documentation on what I need to add in that line? | 19:55 |
| fdsaseemslegit | You have your eyes closed. | 19:55 |
| Sysi | josh2: blkid tells you uuid:s of devices | 19:55 |
| danostone | good | 19:55 |
| fdsaseemslegit | :D | 19:55 |
| Sysi | fdsaseemslegit: proper ansvers please | 19:56 |
| Sysi | danostone: is it mounted? | 19:56 |
| fdsaseemslegit | Sorry, danostone. | 19:56 |
| danostone | obviously not in this install it seems | 19:56 |
| danostone | so mount uuid or ? | 19:57 |
| Sysi | if you want it to be mounted always on boot, fstab | 19:57 |
| charlie-tca | danostone: have you been able to use the disc 2 at all in Xubuntu? | 19:57 |
| charlie-tca | danostone: as in, have you tried manually mounting it ? | 19:58 |
| danostone | yes it has fedora on lvm | 19:58 |
| charlie-tca | Is there anything in /media for it? | 19:58 |
| danostone | man mount discusses that correct | 19:58 |
| charlie-tca | yes, man mount does. | 19:59 |
| charlie-tca | !mount | 19:59 |
| ubottu | mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 19:59 |
| danostone | yes it looks like several ports need a path | 19:59 |
| fdsaseemslegit | Maybe /dev would have the information | 20:00 |
| fdsaseemslegit | I have yet yo have a mounting problem, I have two other partitions, one ntfs then other reiserfs , I also have no problems detecting and mounting an esata external HDD, and a USB IDE External HDD. My card reader clot also works great in Natty. | 20:02 |
| fdsaseemslegit | I am very happy. | 20:02 |
| Sysi | i think lvm partitions are something like /dev/mapper/something | 20:03 |
| Sysi | never used it so not very sure | 20:03 |
| craigbass1976 | whenever I do something even remotely graphics heavy, x goes into convulsions. I thought there was some keywoard shortcut that would restart x, or will that not work because x is having such a fit in the first place? | 21:06 |
| charlie-tca | magicSysRq is the thing left, and it shuts down and restarts X, losing all work | 21:08 |
| charlie-tca | On my keyboard, it is Ctrl+Alt+PrintScn+k | 21:08 |
| craigbass1976 | Actually, /etc/init.d/x11-common restart didn't help either. Perhaps it's a flakey video card... but if I reboot it will be fine | 21:08 |
| craigbass1976 | charlie-tca: magicSysRq ? | 21:09 |
| charlie-tca | yup, that's what it is referred to as | 21:09 |
| craigbass1976 | charlie-tca: and is you're xubuntu install stock? I've not customized anything on this box that I can remember | 21:09 |
| charlie-tca | yes, but they removed the Ctrl+Alt+backspace to restart X a few releases ago | 21:10 |
| Sysi | i think common key combination is altGr+printscrn+K | 21:10 |
| craigbass1976 | but would the /etc/init.d command have done the same thing? | 21:10 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know. I just know what works here | 21:11 |
| danostone | doing 'ls /dev/disk/by-id/label' I can see all of the partitions but not sure label to uuid combo check (anyone ?) | 21:31 |
| Sysi | try 'blkid' | 21:32 |
| danostone | not sure blkid ? in dev/disk/~ I have by-id by-label by-path by-uuid | 21:34 |
| Sysi | blkid is command | 21:34 |
| danostone | do I need to pipe it ? | 21:35 |
| danostone | returns nothing | 21:35 |
| danostone | man blkid | 21:35 |
| Sysi | for me it lists all partitions, labels and uuids | 21:36 |
| Sysi | maybe with sudo? | 21:36 |
| charlie-tca | look in /dev/disk/by-uuid | 21:36 |
| charlie-tca | You can use ls -l to list them | 21:36 |
| danostone | ahh and oops | 21:36 |
| danostone | so /dev/disk/by-{label,uuid} means either or | 21:37 |
| charlie-tca | yup | 21:38 |
| skiwithpete | hi | 21:46 |
| skiwithpete | so... | 21:46 |
| skiwithpete | I want to start xfce when I type in startx at prompt | 21:51 |
| skiwithpete | but it currently starts LXDE - any suggestions? | 21:51 |
| Sysi | edit ~/.xsessionrc | 21:51 |
| Sysi | or something pretty similarly named file | 21:52 |
| skiwithpete | I have Xauthority | 21:53 |
| skiwithpete | is that the one? | 21:53 |
| Sysi | i doubt | 21:54 |
| Sysi | it could use global one too | 21:54 |
| skiwithpete | where will I find that? | 21:54 |
| Sysi | i guess /usr/share/xsessions/ | 21:55 |
| Sysi | idk where it gets the default | 21:55 |
| skiwithpete | no | 21:56 |
| skiwithpete | no luck | 21:56 |
| charlie-tca | did you install xubuntu-desktop? I don't know if Lubuntu/whatever you installed had all the files in it | 21:57 |
| Sysi | my router stucked, googling is a bit slow.. | 21:57 |
| Sysi | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfce#Running_Xfce | 22:00 |
| Sysi | i'm not sure if cklauch is needed on buntu | 22:00 |
| Besogon | skiwithpete, http://www.os-works.com/view/debian/ | 22:01 |
| Besogon | look may be there you will find your answer | 22:02 |
| skiwithpete | Besogon, nice one | 22:13 |
| danostone | question - what do I need to in mtab or fstab ? | 22:15 |
| Besogon | fstab is the file which let you automount partitions at boot up | 22:16 |
| danostone | to have will it work if one is ext3 and the other is ext4 or does it matter? | 22:19 |
| charlie-tca | danostone: create a mount point (directory) first, then in /etc/fstab, you can copy a line that exists. | 22:19 |
| charlie-tca | it should be something like : | 22:19 |
| charlie-tca | UUID=d5f37d0b-73b3-4080-b410-9ee47639907e /mount/point ext3 defaults 0 2 | 22:20 |
| charlie-tca | ext3 is the filesystem, which might be fat32 or fat16 instead | 22:21 |
| danostone | /dev/sdb3: LABEL="Fedora-13-x86_64" UUID="4330a9c7-cec0-44el-82cb-llllll | 22:22 |
| charlie-tca | I create my directories in /mnt, but you can create them anywhere | 22:22 |
| charlie-tca | using that, create a directory using sudo mkdir /mnt/Fedora | 22:22 |
| charlie-tca | then in /etc/fstab, | 22:23 |
| danostone | like that not sure what the second line is there | 22:23 |
| danostone | ext3 defaults 0 2 | 22:23 |
| charlie-tca | UUID=4330a9c7-cec0-44el-82cb-llllll /mnt/Fedora ext3 defaults 0 2 | 22:23 |
| charlie-tca | It should be a single line, no breaks | 22:23 |
| danostone | ok what is the defaults 0 2 | 22:24 |
| charlie-tca | ext3 is the filesystem, fat, ext4, ext2, etc | 22:24 |
| charlie-tca | the defaults are to allow use as the system is set up for | 22:25 |
| charlie-tca | 0 2 are when to run fscheck | 22:25 |
| charlie-tca | That schedules the fsck to run perodically. If it should not check the drive, make it 0 0 | 22:25 |
| danostone | add to end or before swap uuid | 22:29 |
| charlie-tca | It does not make any difference. Boot sequence will be determined during the boot | 22:29 |
| danostone | well let me reboot | 22:39 |
| danostone | so no warkee | 22:43 |
| charlie-tca | open a terminal and try "sudo mount -a" and see what the error is | 22:51 |
| danostone | no moint point | 22:52 |
| danostone | mount: mount point ext4 does not exist | 22:52 |
| charlie-tca | did you type everything on one line? | 22:53 |
| charlie-tca | What program did you use to edit the fstab file? | 22:53 |
| danostone | gedit | 22:54 |
| charlie-tca | gedit works | 22:54 |
| charlie-tca | was everything on one line, or did you make it two lines? | 22:54 |
| danostone | the mount point comes after uuid | 22:54 |
| danostone | two mounts | 22:55 |
| charlie-tca | yes, but if you have a line like | 22:55 |
| danostone | two partitions | 22:55 |
| charlie-tca | ext4 0 0 | 22:55 |
| charlie-tca | then you have it looking for a mount point ext4 | 22:55 |
| danostone | no didnt do that | 22:55 |
| charlie-tca | It has to be a single line, which should be UUID=??? space /mount/point | 22:56 |
| danostone | yes but its on a different disk | 22:56 |
| charlie-tca | the mount point? | 22:56 |
| danostone | the uuid | 22:56 |
| charlie-tca | it doesn't matter | 22:56 |
| Sysi | linux don't have thing like C: and D: just partitions, can be on different disks or anywhere | 22:57 |
| charlie-tca | The error was "mount point ext4 does not exist" ? | 22:57 |
| charlie-tca | that error tells me the line was something like UUID=??? ext4 | 22:57 |
| charlie-tca | did you space between /mount/point and ext4? | 22:58 |
| charlie-tca | Sysi: should we have fstab pasted now? | 22:59 |
| charlie-tca | danostone: pastebin your /etc/fstab file | 22:59 |
| Sysi | at least that one line | 22:59 |
| charlie-tca | !pastebin | 22:59 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 22:59 |
| danostone | no mount point then etx4 | 22:59 |
| Sysi | you need to have the mount point | 23:00 |
| Sysi | folder where you want it | 23:00 |
| === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang | ||
| danostone | http://fpaste.org/nrGY/ | 23:01 |
| charlie-tca | You did not create the mount points | 23:02 |
| charlie-tca | you have to create a directory to be used, maybe | 23:02 |
| danostone | ok where or what todo where | 23:02 |
| charlie-tca | something like /mnt/sdb2 | 23:03 |
| charlie-tca | then put that after the uuid, before the ext4 | 23:03 |
| danostone | that needs created | 23:03 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 23:03 |
| charlie-tca | or maybe you want it in /home/sdb2 or whatever name you want to call the drive | 23:04 |
| charlie-tca | you have to create one for each partition you are trying to mount | 23:04 |
| danostone | so even though the device can be seen /dev/disk/by-uuid I should create a hard link? | 23:06 |
| charlie-tca | no | 23:06 |
| charlie-tca | you should create a directory where you will look to see the device | 23:06 |
| charlie-tca | You can call it anything you want | 23:06 |
| charlie-tca | You do not create a link, you use "mkdir ??? | 23:07 |
| charlie-tca | to create a new directory for the device to be seen in | 23:07 |
| charlie-tca | You said one of those entries was music, right? | 23:08 |
| danostone | no | 23:08 |
| charlie-tca | sorry, mixed up | 23:08 |
| danostone | so can the mount point be in the /dev/disk as mentioned before | 23:09 |
| charlie-tca | nope | 23:10 |
| charlie-tca | You create it outside of /dev | 23:10 |
| charlie-tca | like /mnt | 23:10 |
| charlie-tca | or in /honme | 23:10 |
| danostone | lol lol | 23:10 |
| charlie-tca | or in /home | 23:10 |
| charlie-tca | or /media | 23:10 |
| charlie-tca | but dev is not usable by you | 23:10 |
| danostone | I just want to mount when I need access to a file | 23:11 |
| charlie-tca | then create in /home | 23:12 |
| danostone | not have it mounted all the time | 23:12 |
| charlie-tca | then why are you adding it to fstab? | 23:12 |
| charlie-tca | fstab entries are always mounted on boot | 23:12 |
| danostone | because of mount error | 23:12 |
| charlie-tca | open a terminal | 23:13 |
| charlie-tca | type sudo mkdir /mnt/sdb2 | 23:13 |
| danostone | several open | 23:13 |
| charlie-tca | What is the second partition? | 23:13 |
| charlie-tca | You show two things added to fstab | 23:14 |
| danostone | both on sdb | 23:15 |
| charlie-tca | They are what? sdb2 and sdb1? | 23:15 |
| charlie-tca | sdb2 and sdb3? | 23:15 |
| danostone | like sdb2 and 11? | 23:15 |
| charlie-tca | sdb2 and sdb11? | 23:15 |
| charlie-tca | did you this sudo mkdir /mnt/sdb2 | 23:16 |
| danostone | so I have to create a mount dir in order to mount a fs | 23:16 |
| charlie-tca | yes | 23:16 |
| charlie-tca | and add the mount point to fstab after the UUID | 23:17 |
| danostone | so remove the fstab entries though | 23:17 |
| charlie-tca | if you don't want them mounted at startup, yes | 23:18 |
| === jwkokc is now known as jk_ | ||
| danostone | restart and I will let ya know | 23:24 |
| danostone | does not work | 23:29 |
| charlie-tca | did you create the directory yet? | 23:29 |
| danostone | ci yes | 23:30 |
| charlie-tca | okay, what did not work? | 23:30 |
| danostone | mount uuid | 23:30 |
| charlie-tca | you removed the /etc/fstab entries, right? | 23:31 |
| danostone | not yet but I dont follow this method very well | 23:32 |
| charlie-tca | okay, what are the new directories? | 23:32 |
| danostone | /home/user/bakery /home/user/cake | 23:34 |
| danostone | the dirctories are there | 23:34 |
| charlie-tca | in a terminal, type sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /home/user/bakery | 23:34 |
| danostone | ok now that makes sense | 23:36 |
| charlie-tca | if it did not give you an error, you can now browse /home/user/bakery in thunar and see what is on sdb2 | 23:36 |
| charlie-tca | You will type that sudo mount command everytime you want to see those files | 23:37 |
| danostone | had gotten used to the bookmark calling for the password | 23:37 |
| charlie-tca | you use sudo mount /dev/sdb11 /home/user/cake | 23:37 |
| charlie-tca | to mount and look at the sdb11 files | 23:38 |
| danostone | gimme a sec . im slow | 23:38 |
| danostone | mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 23:42 |
| charlie-tca | for both, or for which one? | 23:42 |
| danostone | both | 23:43 |
| danostone | both ext4 | 23:44 |
| charlie-tca | then use sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sbd2 /home/user/bakery | 23:44 |
| danostone | both ext4 mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try | 23:46 |
| charlie-tca | Are these lvm? | 23:46 |
| danostone | one | 23:47 |
| danostone | said that earlier | 23:47 |
| charlie-tca | but they both fail when you tell it ext4. Do they both have data on them already? | 23:47 |
| danostone | yes and dmesg tail returnsEXT4-fs (sdb2): unable to read superblock | 23:48 |
| charlie-tca | is that the lvm volume? | 23:49 |
| danostone | yes | 23:49 |
| charlie-tca | what returns on the other one? | 23:50 |
| danostone | charlie-tca how do i see which dev sdb each is? | 23:59 |
