[00:20] <halpbatman> you type iwconfig [card] mode monitor
[02:00] <halpbatman> does anyone here use guake?
[02:03] <halpbatman> when i open terminal
[02:03] <gunndawg> madsailor: hey there
[02:03] <halpbatman> the transparency effect doesn't work
[02:03] <halpbatman> anyone knows how to fix that?
[02:07] <halpbatman> terminal's transparent background doesn't work anymore anyone knows how to fix that?
[02:07] <paultag> halpbatman: try `compiz --replace'

[02:08] <paultag> seidos: I'll owe you one!
[02:08] <halpbatman> paultag: thx it worked!
[02:08] <paultag> Oh, well shit
[02:08] <seidos> paultag: i'll try
[02:08] <paultag> all good then
[02:08] <madsailor> hey gunndawg.  How's the site going?
[02:08] <paultag> halpbatman: rock on, thanks for using ubuntu :)
[02:09] <gunndawg> madsailor: good I'll show ya a screenshot
[02:09] <halpbatman> paultag: :DDD
[02:09] <halpbatman> one more lol
[02:09] <halpbatman> guake won't work
[02:09] <halpbatman> has it happened to anyone?
[02:09] <gunndawg> madsailor: http://min.us/mveQzlc
[02:09] <gunndawg> madsailor: I wanted to keep it clean, simple and basic
[02:10] <paultag> halpbatman: try starting it again. my guess is it needed compiz to be running
[02:10] <gunndawg> madsailor: I might change it up some, not sure
[02:10] <halpbatman> paultag: i did after i rand compiz --replace
[02:10] <paultag> ah, interesting
[02:10] <halpbatman> paultag: but no dice
[02:10] <paultag> halpbatman: I'm not sure. Might want to ask in #ubuntu, I've never used guake
[02:11] <paultag> just tilde :)
[02:11] <paultag> !info guake

[02:13] <paultag> Thanks, paultag! You sure are useful!

[02:14] <JackyAlcine> I don't even wanna read them!
[02:14] <paultag> JackyAlcine: just store pings :)
[02:14] <halpbatman> paultag: k thx
[02:14] <paultag> JackyAlcine: or grep for JackyAlcine in your logs, there's no reason to look through it all
[02:14] <paultag> halpbatman: np, cheerio!
[02:14] <JackyAlcine> Hm, what about context?
[02:15] <madsailor> gunndawg, yeah, I like the Idea.
[02:15] <paultag> JackyAlcine: you can pull line numbers with grep, you can look at lines around your pngs
[02:15] <paultag> JackyAlcine: there's a lot of static
[02:15] <JackyAlcine> Grep's God's golden token!
[02:16] <paultag> I'd have to look it up but I think G/re/p is a bum syntax
[02:16] <gunndawg> madsailor: thx
[02:16] <paultag> ah, no

[02:21] <ubuntuser> How to solve "BOOTMGR missing" problem using Live CD?
[02:23] <seidos> ubuntuser: do you get a prompt?
[02:23]  * seidos puts a splint on paultag's leg
[02:23] <seidos> paultag = batman
[02:24] <ubuntuser> seidos: no. jsut that and "press clt+alt+del" to restart
[02:24] <halpbatman_> paultag: so hey.. i restarted the comp. and the same thing happened so i had to restard compliz again
[02:24] <seidos> ubuntuser: hmmm
[02:24] <seidos> halpbatman_: compiz?
[02:24] <halpbatman_> seidos: yeah
[02:25] <ubuntuser> seidos: so, how to fix it using livecd?
[02:25] <halpbatman_> why do i have to keep restarting compiz?
[02:25] <seidos> halpbatman_: we need to figure out how to make compiz --replace execute automatically on start up
[02:26] <halpbatman> seidos: but it was working fine before
[02:26] <seidos> ubuntuser: ah, you are trying to use a livecd to repair an installation.  try a web search "repair BOOTMGR missing ubuntu" on yahoo.com
[02:26] <seidos> halpbatman: what changed?
[02:26] <halpbatman> seidos: trying to figure out what happened so that I can reverse it
[02:26] <halpbatman> seidos: lol
[02:27] <halpbatman> seidos: i was playing around with network configuration
[02:27] <halpbatman> seidos: when it stopped working
[02:27] <seidos> halpbatman: network configuration shouldn't affect compiz.  you could try purging the compiz package, and reinstalling it.
[02:27] <ubuntuser> seidos: currently i am booting from live cd.. i had ubuntu 10.10 on sda5 and vista on sda1. after installing 7 on sda1 my ubuntu was corrupted and showing unallocated. so using testdisk i recovered ubuntu partition. now none is booting and the error.
[02:28] <halpbatman> seidos: so the cmd would be "sudo apt-get purge compiz" and then "sudo apt-get install compiz"?
[02:28] <seidos> halpbatman: how'd you know? :)
[02:29] <JoeMaverickSett> ubuntuser: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[02:29] <halpbatman> seidos: grasshopper lrnz
[02:29] <seidos> halpbatman: ^ 5
[02:30] <halpbatman> seidos: is there any other pkg that is an alternative to compiz?
[02:30] <seidos> ubuntuser: you may want win 7 installed before installing ubuntu.  i think that is preferred
[02:31] <gunndawg> seidos: how dare you recommend having windows installed!
[02:31] <seidos> halpbatman: not sure.  why would you want another package?
[02:31] <ubuntuser> seidos: yeah.. i figured that out after 7 did the mess.. with vista the grub recovery was simple..
[02:31] <seidos> gunndawg: it's far from a recommendation ;)
[02:31] <halpbatman> seidos: dunno it keeps needing restart so i was wondering if i use a different pkg it might fix it
[02:31] <ubuntuser> seidos: anyway, i can do it... i am ready to install 7 again ..no issue.. i want to save my ubuntu partition as it is..
[02:32] <gunndawg> ubuntuser: try uninstalling windows and leaving it uninstalled, see if ur computer runs better
[02:32] <gunndawg> ;)
[02:32] <seidos> halpbatman: i wouldn't do that.  just file a bug against the compiz package if we don't get it working
[02:33] <halpbatman> seidos: k gonna restart brb
[02:33] <ubuntuser> gunndawg: supposed to be funny?
[02:33] <gunndawg> ubuntuser: yes
[02:33] <seidos> ubuntuser: what do you need windows for?
[02:33] <gunndawg> ubuntuser: it is funny
[02:34] <ubuntuser> seidos: i need for work and besides i am not well versed with linux. i am a new bie..trying to switch after my friends introduced me to linux.
[02:34] <seidos> ubuntuser: ah.  for work.
[02:34] <ubuntuser> gunndawg: it wasn't for me seeing the data and files and work trapped there..anyway leave it..
[02:34] <seidos> ubuntuser: no worries.  hope you get your dual boot working
[02:35] <seidos> ubuntuser: it's actually a good way to test for hardware problems.
[02:35] <halpbatman> seidos: reinstalling didn't fix the problem
[02:35] <halpbatman> when I start up terminal
[02:35] <seidos> halpbatman: and compiz --replace fixes it?
[02:35] <halpbatman> the transparency effect doesn't work
[02:35] <halpbatman> yeah
[02:36] <madsailor> ubuntuser, windows is like a bull in a china shop....it will overwrite everything when you re-install it.
[02:36] <ubuntuser> seidos: hmm..yes.. i can try booting with 7 dvd and doing the fixmbr thing but wouldn't it do the same it did with the ubuntu partition? making it unallocated/corrupted?
[02:36] <seidos> halpbatman: what about preferences > appearance > desktop effects?
[02:36] <ubuntuser> madsailor: maybe..but when i tried with vista, it didn't happeb
[02:36] <halpbatman> seidos: it's set at normal
[02:37] <seidos> ubuntuser: yeah, it probably would remove the formatted partitions.
[02:37] <madsailor> ubuntu, so what do you have on your drive now, and what is the ultimate goal?
[02:37] <madsailor> *sorry,* ubuntuser
[02:37] <seidos> ubuntuser: just install win 7, then reinstall ubuntu, we recommend 10.04, the LTS
[02:38] <gunndawg> I recommend 10.10
[02:38] <seidos> gunndawg: why?
[02:38] <gunndawg> seidos: why not ?
[02:38] <gunndawg> seidos: it works perfectly fine
[02:38] <ubuntuser> seidos: and the current ubuntu partition? isn't there anyway i can save it? otherwise i would have done that by now and will do if there's no way.
[02:38] <seidos> gunndawg: are you a beginner?
[02:39] <gunndawg> seidos: depends on what you consider a beginner, I am quite happy with 10.10, and recommend it to anyone wanting to switch to ubuntu
[02:39] <gunndawg> seidos: are you a beginner ?
[02:39] <seidos> gunndawg: it depends what you consider a beginner
[02:39] <seidos> gunndawg: yes
[02:40] <madsailor> ubuntuser, to save the Ubuntu you already installed you would have to get windows booting (through win RE), then reinstall grub2 . it is probably faster and easier to start from scratch
[02:40] <seidos> ubuntuser: there may be a way, but if there is, i'm not sure how to find out.  what data are you trying to save?
[02:41] <ubuntuser> seidos: photos, projects(mid way)..etc..
[02:41] <seidos> !grub2
[02:41] <ubot2> GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[02:42] <madsailor> ubuntuser, if you just want to save data from your ubuntu install you can use the live cd and DD it to another drive / cd/ whatever media you want
[02:42] <seidos> ubuntuser: you can try the "RestoreGrub" link
[02:42] <ubuntuser> seidos: ok, i tried "partimage" but it threw an error
[02:44] <seidos> ubuntuser: if you followed all the instructions on RestoreGrub, there isn't much else i can recommend, aside from reinstall.
[02:44] <seidos> windows 1st, then ubuntu
[02:44] <ubuntuser> seidos: OK.
[02:45] <seidos> ubuntuser: not sure why windows does that, but not much can be done about it, since it's closed source
[02:45] <ubuntuser> seidos: thanks. let me see.
[02:45] <ubuntuser> seidos: yes.
[02:45] <seidos> assuming one has the development skill
[02:45] <halpbatman> seidos: oh yeah a question on grub
[02:45] <halpbatman> seidos: I have two images of linux
[02:45] <halpbatman> seidos: one is from before update
[02:46] <halpbatman> seidos: for some reason it persists on the grub menu
[02:46] <seidos> halpbatman: what version of ubuntu?
[02:46] <halpbatman> seidos: i have 10.10
[02:46] <seidos> halpbatman: have you checked out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2
[02:47] <seidos> halpbatman: i'm actually trying to *add* kernels now, not remove them, as one of my projects
[02:47] <seidos> halpbatman: but i'm sure it shouldn't be that difficult to do with grub2
[02:47] <halpbatman> seidos: k ty
[02:50] <seidos> halpbatman: i just had an idea.  you might be able to uninstall the linux-images from synaptic that you don't want anymore
[02:51] <halpbatman> seidos: synaptic?
[02:51] <seidos> halpbatman: do a search for linux-image in synaptic, just don't remove the wrong one.
[02:51] <halpbatman> seidos: wehre's synaptic?
[02:51] <seidos> halpbatman: synaptic package manager.  but, i wouldn't worry about that.  it really shouldn't matter.  do you reboot a lot?
[02:52] <halpbatman> seidos: found it
[02:52] <seidos> halpbatman: system -> administration > synaptic pckg mgr
[02:52] <halpbatman> seidos: i switch back and forth b/w windows and linux
[02:52] <halpbatman> seidos: certain windows prgs i need for school work
[02:53] <seidos> halpbatman: there may be an open alternative to what you use...and wine *may* be an option
[02:53] <seidos> halpbatman: also virtualization maybe an option for you
[02:53] <seidos> *may be
[02:54] <halpbatman> seidos: i'm on netbook so virtualization would be too slow i think
[02:55] <seidos> halpbatman: ah, dang it.  wine might be fast enough.
[02:55] <halpbatman> seidos: brb reboot hopefully this problem is fixed
[02:56]  * seidos hands halpbatman a batarang

[04:22] <holstein> tool88: you got a windows disc?
[04:22] <seidos> holstein: that's a good guess.  but i wouldn't have inferred that.
[04:22] <holstein> thats one of those things you might just have to run Vbox for tool88
[04:22] <tool88> yeah looks like im gonna have to
[04:22] <holstein> the seamless mode is... well, seamless
[04:22] <holstein> kinda nice
[04:23] <holstein> seidos: unless the cat is going to buy a KVM
[04:40] <seidos> holstein: isn't kvm also an option?  the software?
[04:41] <holstein> something like that
[04:41] <holstein> VNC is arguably easier i think
[04:41] <holstein> i guess it depends on the useage

[10:17] <s-fox> Hello JoeMaverickSett and bioterror
[10:17] <s-fox> How are you both?
[10:20] <JoeMaverickSett> s-fox: i'm very much fine. thank you for asking. how about yourself? :)
[10:20] <bioterror> I know he's fine as always ;)
[10:21] <JoeMaverickSett> :D
[10:30] <s-fox> I am fine thank you JoeMaverickSett .
[10:30] <JoeMaverickSett> s-fox: great to hear. :)
[10:31] <bioterror> JoeMaverickSett, you see! I could be the future man! ;)
[10:31] <JoeMaverickSett> bioterror: haha, you're a psychic :D
[15:26] <richardcurran> Hello my first question here is can I ask about how to go about upgrading packages on my jaunty webserver here?
[15:27] <richardcurran> or should I find a different channel? I'm a n00b :)
[15:27] <JackyAlcine> No, you're in the right place.
[15:27] <richardcurran> Thanks Jacky
[15:27] <JackyAlcine> richardcurran: And upgrading in the sense of upgrade to a new release?
[15:28] <richardcurran> Well I'm going to try and upgrade my ProFTPD
[15:28] <richardcurran> to 1.3.3d
[15:28] <richardcurran> from 1.3.1
[15:28] <JackyAlcine> Isn't that a downgrade?
[15:29] <richardcurran> haha don't start!
[15:29] <richardcurran> I 1.3.1 is older than 1.3.3d
[15:29] <richardcurran> the reason I need to do this is to become compliant for PCI DSS
[15:30] <richardcurran> Normally I'd have asked my web developer to do this sort of thing, but I've run out of money and now I'm my own webdeveloper
[15:30] <richardcurran> :(
[15:30] <JackyAlcine> Well, usually projects like these have source code that you can compile and utilize.
[15:30] <richardcurran> I thought that before I do anything I'd find where I can go for help if (/when) it all goes wrong
[15:31] <JackyAlcine> If you installed 1.3.3d from your repos, then you should uninstall from there first.
[15:31] <JackyAlcine> Otherwise, you could find the 1.3.3d's source and run a sudo make uninstall to remove it.
[15:31] <JackyAlcine> Then you can download 1.3.1 and compile it back into your system.
[15:32] <JackyAlcine> Just requires a bit of terminal knowledge.
[15:32] <richardcurran> Hi thanks sorry I think I mistyped earlier on, I am actually upgrading from 1.3.1 TO 1.3.3d
[15:32] <JackyAlcine> Lol, ah!
[15:32] <richardcurran> and from the documentation it appears that I need to go ahead and compile a new version, rather than "update"
[15:32] <JackyAlcine> Then just do the reverse.
[15:33] <richardcurran> ^ yes I thought i might have to
[15:33] <JackyAlcine> No,
[15:33] <JackyAlcine> wait, if the documentation said to do otherwise, then do so, it might not only preserve your settings, but that means less configuration for you.
[15:35] <richardcurran> this is when you use a file on your local machine, the make file, to install the package? is that right?
[15:35] <richardcurran> likewise for uninstalling?
[15:35] <richardcurran> unfortunately I don't have the original set of files on my local machine
[15:49] <richardcurran> Anyone have experience of upgrading PROftpd here?
[15:53] <duanedesign> richardcurran: it is in the repository
[15:55] <duanedesign> i guess the package is proftpd-basic
[15:56] <duanedesign> the command -  apt-cache search proftpd  - can show you the available packages
[15:58] <duanedesign> if you are interested in installing an application not in the repos (compiling) there is a nice doc on the wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo
[16:02] <duanedesign> oh and if you compile a package be sure to read the ReadMe.txt
[16:04] <seidos> PROftpd, does it use encryption?
[16:14] <bioterror> haha
[16:14] <bioterror> ftp doesnt encrypt
[16:15] <bioterror> sftp does
[16:15] <bioterror> lftp for client and sshd for server
[16:16] <seidos> 0
[16:16] <JackyAlcine> From the looks of the site, it uses SSL, I guess, seidos.
[16:17] <seidos> JackyAlcine: merci
[16:17] <JackyAlcine> no problem, l:D
[16:17] <seidos> i just asked because RedSingularity and i were talking about it yesterday
[16:17] <seidos> i don't really use ftp anymore
[16:17] <JackyAlcine> SSH?
[16:18] <seidos> torrents, ssh, apache2, mysql
[16:18] <JackyAlcine> AH! MySQL! lol.
[16:18] <seidos> it's a love hate relationship

[16:20] <JackyAlcine> Lol!
[16:48] <Elise001> Why does it take so much work to keep my copy of Ubuntu up to date on my cheap used notebook? I love the concept of Ubuntu. But Windows XP seems much more reliable. I'm sorry to say this.
[16:48] <Elise001> I wish I coul find an easier way to keep Ubuntu up to date.
[16:48] <bioterror> what?
[16:49] <bioterror> whats so hard in it?
[16:49] <bioterror> notifies you in the same way as windows, that theres new updates
[16:49] <JackyAlcine> Elise001: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.
[16:49] <JackyAlcine> Done.
[16:49] <Elise001> My old notebook seems to disconnect from my home DSL during the night when I leave my notebook running to complete downloading and installing updates. Takes so long.
[16:49] <bioterror> few clicks and youre updating your system
[16:50] <bioterror> i upgraded from maverick to natty under 20mins today
[16:50] <Elise001> But it seems to die in middle all too often. It's like a sports car. Sigh.
[16:50] <bioterror> didnt take that long
[16:51] <bioterror> elise, problem is that you get disconnected?
[16:51] <Elise001> Yes.
[16:51] <bioterror> and why you do it during night?
[16:52] <Elise001> It takes hours.
[16:52] <bioterror> seems like problem is the NIC
[16:52] <bioterror> possible drivers has something
[16:53] <stlsaint> hey folks
[16:53] <bioterror> elise, would you like to tell us the download speed of your upgradings
[16:58] <Elise001> I'm not sure what the speed is. I use AT&T 2wire. I,m using that right now for dsl for this netbook running windows xp and getting good response time. I will be away from computer for a few minutes. sorry.
[17:00] <bioterror> so much for the helping then
[17:01] <JackyAlcine> Elise001: There's reports from HeliOS that AT&T does have a fit with Linux systems.
[17:01] <bioterror> is that somekind of usb modems or what
[17:02] <JackyAlcine> No, it's an organization that refurbishes and gives back computers using Linux, and I remember reading that AT&T's known for giving Linux users problem with connection related to drivers or something alongst that line.
[17:03] <bioterror> what kind of problems could be with adsl then
[17:04] <bioterror> plug-in the twistedpair cabled with rj45 and connect to intahnet!
[17:04] <Elise001> Not sure. Got to shower. Tonight I'll come back on this netbook, and try to upgrade ubuntu on my old notebook. Then I can give you more accurate info. Say hi to Seidos for me. Bye for now and thanks.
[17:04] <Elise001> I'll just leave this up 4 a few minutes.
[17:04] <bioterror> i bet seidos will gladly help you P)
[17:04] <bioterror> ;)
[17:05] <zkriesse> What happened?
[18:18] <Fanshawe> Hello. How do I remove 'Open With' entries from the Nautilus context menu?
[18:20] <ddecator> Fanshawe: right-click, properties, then there should be a tab like "associated applications" or something like that. go there and you can remove them
[18:21] <ddecator> you can also change which application is used by default by doing that
[18:22] <Fanshawe> Right click on any folder?
[18:22] <JackyAlcine> Fanshawe: On the file that you want to change the default application for.
[18:22] <ddecator> right
[18:23] <ddecator> whatever filetype
[18:23] <ddecator> so if you want to remove openoffice as the default and/or one of the "open with" applications of .doc files, you can right-click any .doc file and change it
[18:24] <Fanshawe> There is no tab for the properties of folders.
[18:25] <ddecator> you're trying to change the "open with" for folders?
[18:25] <aveilleux> Fanshawe: You can't change what folders are opened with...
[18:25] <Fanshawe> Yes, for Nautilus, or whatever Ubuntus file browser is called.
[18:25] <aveilleux> Fanshawe: Files are "opened". "folders" (properly called "directories") are browsed.
[18:26] <ddecator> right, folders will always open within nautilus
[18:26] <JackyAlcine> or dolphin.
[18:26] <ddecator> JackyAlcine: if you use kubuntu :)
[18:26] <aveilleux> or PCManFM
[18:26] <Fanshawe> Yes. But at one time I used an 'open with' function on a folder, I think I was opening an album in a media player.
[18:27] <Fanshawe> I'm trying to remove that option from the context menu now.
[18:27] <aveilleux> Fanshawe: That's a function of the menu itself, not the "open with" submenu.
[18:28] <aveilleux> Fanshawe: This should help you out http://techthrob.com/2009/03/02/howto-add-items-to-the-right-click-menu-in-nautilus/
[18:28] <aveilleux> Fanshawe: I know it says "add" but I assume the same utility can be used to remove items as well.
[18:29] <s-fox> Goodbye.
[18:29] <Fanshawe> A screen shot does show a 'delete' function. I'll try it out.
[18:29] <ddecator> ...was that silverfox?
[18:30] <Fanshawe> Or, someone else has recommended I navigate to '~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list'.
[18:34] <Fanshawe> I've got it. Thank you all.
[21:18] <tool88> can i dual boot ubuntu with ubuntu?
[21:18] <JackyAlcine> tool88: yes.
[21:18] <head_victim> tool88: surely can, just make sure you adjust the grub entries so you don't get them confused :D
[21:18] <tool88> will ubuntu do the partion like windows
[21:19] <tool88> not sure how to do that
[21:19] <head_victim> tool88: depends on what you mean by "like windows"
[21:19] <tool88> iso it runs side by side i mean
[21:20] <bioterror> ofcourse
[21:20] <tool88> so how would i adjust the grub then?
[21:20] <bioterror> it should ajust itself automatically ;)
[21:21] <tool88> ok thats what i was hoping
[21:21] <bioterror> mmm
[21:21] <bioterror> not it wont, I think :D
[21:21] <head_victim> Yeah, I was just saying if you have the same kernels and the same everything else you might want to adjust them manually so you can tell them apart easily
[21:22] <tool88> well the one i was going to mess with the nvidia driver
[21:22] <tool88> after i install the driver i lose my gui
[21:22] <tool88> so i wanted to mess with the one till i got it right
[21:23] <bioterror> you dont need another installation for that
[21:23] <bioterror> you can always remove xorg.conf and remove certain packages and start from the beginning
[21:23] <tool88> after i lose my gui i cant get to the recovery screen
[21:23] <tool88> it dosnt show
[21:24] <tool88> problem is i have a lap top with a broken screen and for some reason when i install the driver the crt i use is just black
[21:25] <tool88> like it only default the video to the laptop moniter
[21:27] <bioterror> you can get to TTY?
[21:27] <bioterror> ctrl+alt+f1?
[21:28] <tool88> yeah i do that but i cant get the failsafe-x to work
[21:29] <tool88> and hitting esc is eigther hit or miss
[21:38] <asterismo> hi people
[21:39] <asterismo> i have a problem
[21:39] <asterismo> is there any way to recover deleted and empty trashed files from an EXT4 external 500GB hard drive?
[21:40] <holstein> check out http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec asterismo
[21:40] <holstein> i use it from http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
[21:40] <holstein> might be an easier way though
[21:41] <asterismo> i already tried scalpel, but it extracted several 47 MB avi files... i want to recover a bunch of avi files from 700 MB to 2 GB in size
[21:42] <asterismo> but the drive is ok
[21:42]  * holstein never used scalpel
[21:43] <holstein> photorec shouldnt care what size or filetype
[21:43] <asterismo> is just that i deleted some large files and empty trash, and then realized that i had no backuo
[21:43] <asterismo> backup, so i should try to recover, like undelete
[21:43] <asterismo> but scalpel did not worked at all
[21:43] <holstein> sure
[21:43] <holstein> or try using photorec
[21:44] <holstein> literally cant hurt
[21:44] <asterismo> but does PhotoRec support AVI files?
[21:44] <holstein> photorec just grabs
[21:44] <holstein> it dont care what its grabbing
[21:44] <holstein> it doesnt 'support' anything really
[21:44] <holstein> or not support anything that is*
[21:45] <holstein> i bet it works great on drives that are still working properly
[21:45] <holstein> im usually using it on failing hardware
[21:45] <holstein> with surprising results
[21:47] <asterismo> i see that it is somehow related to testdisk
[21:47] <asterismo> i tried testdisk but did not figure out how it works
[21:47] <holstein> thats why i use it from http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/
[21:47] <holstein> its in the menu
[21:48] <holstein> in partedmagic or whatever
[21:48] <holstein> do what you want, but i think its safe to say
[21:48] <holstein> if photorec dont get em
[21:48] <holstein> you can give up
[21:53] <bioterror> holstein, trinity rescue kit is also good tool
[22:43] <SpaceDuck_> Is there any issue with leaving directories mounted (Windows shares and FTPs)? Are they alway connected or do the timeout after awhile like a normal FTP client?
[22:44] <head_victim> I've never had one time out
[22:44] <SpaceDuck_> I meant more disconnect wen idle
[22:44] <head_victim> I've had samba shares mounted for weeks on end without a hitch. I'd say it's something you could set up to time out though
[22:45] <head_victim> Ah well the folder sits on my desktop for weeks on end even when not in use, might not have a connection open permanently though if that's what you mean.
[22:46] <SpaceDuck_> I'm more concerned about the FTP.... I leave the computer on 24/7 and don't want to be connected to the ftp that long.
[22:46] <SpaceDuck_> so if it's mounted... it's connected?
[22:47] <SpaceDuck_> I was hoping I didn't need to mount and unmount... I guess I was hoping ubunut would automount on demand or something
[22:48] <head_victim> It's able to be used, it might not actually have data travelling over the network 24/7. I'm sure you could set the server up to drop connections after they have been idle for x amount of time.
[22:48] <SpaceDuck_> heh, I think I've been connected to my ftp for a week
[22:49] <SpaceDuck_> or at least it's been mounted for a week
[22:49] <head_victim> Yeah sorry I'm not technical enough to differentiate between "connected" and "mounted" sorry :/  I would have to go do some googling to be sure
[23:52] <newlad> good evenbing
[23:52] <newlad> anyone here
