[11:42] <kosaidpo> hello guys
[11:43] <kosaidpo> i wanna move a directory and its content to a place where this dir it already existe
[11:43] <kosaidpo> i tried mv -n but it keep the dir tho :P
[11:44] <stlsaint> kosaidpo: can you restate what you are trying to do again?
[11:45] <kosaidpo> stlsaint: mv -f  views/ modules/default/
[11:45] <stlsaint> kosaidpo: why the -f switch?
[11:46] <kosaidpo> i used -n but it keep the fist dir it didnt remove it
[11:46] <stlsaint> kosaidpo: you have to use two lcoations
[11:46] <kosaidpo> yeh it is
[11:47] <stlsaint> kosaidpo: you have to use: mv /where/it/is/now /to/where/you/want/it
[11:47] <kosaidpo> its mv -n views/      modules/default
[11:47] <kosaidpo> you just didnt see the space
[11:47] <kosaidpo> :D
[11:48] <kosaidpo> stlsaint: but the things is the default/views has already some file of the views source so iwanna remove the source n update the dest
[11:48] <stlsaint> kosaidpo: you mean to use the recursive switch?
[11:48] <kosaidpo> yehh
[11:48] <kosaidpo> cus the dirs has content
[11:49] <kosaidpo> and the -r didnt work
[11:49] <kosaidpo> :P
[11:49] <kosaidpo> i cant find it in the man
[11:50] <stlsaint> ok you want to move a dir adn its contents to another location? i guess just copy and paste it ;)
[11:51] <kosaidpo> stlsaint: yeh true but iwanna use the mv so i remove the source dir and its content : D
[11:51] <stlsaint> kosaidpo: show me the exact command you are using and the output of it
[11:51] <stlsaint> kosaidpo: OR just CUT and Paste
[11:51] <kosaidpo> ok
[11:52] <kosaidpo> stlsaint: kosaidpo@kosaidpo:/var/www/squar/application$ mv -u  views/  modules/default/
[11:52] <kosaidpo> mv: impossible de déplacer «views/» vers «modules/default/views»: Le dossier n'est pas vide
[11:52] <kosaidpo> kosaidpo@kosaidpo:/var/www/squar/application$
[11:52] <kosaidpo> stlsaint: u speak french ?
[11:53] <stlsaint> kosaidpo: take away the / behind views
[11:54] <kosaidpo> stlsaint: it means impossible to move views to modules/default/views the dir its not empty
[11:54] <kosaidpo> stlsaint: it gives me the same output
[11:54] <stlsaint> kosaidpo: use: --ignore-on-non-empty
[11:55] <kosaidpo> said unknown option :P
[11:55] <stlsaint> lol, i probably gave that wrong
[11:55] <stlsaint> one sec
[11:56] <kosaidpo> stlsaint: ok ;]
[11:56] <stlsaint> lol yea that was for the rmdir command sorry
[11:57] <stlsaint> kosaidpo: so you cant use: mv views /modules/default
[11:57] <stlsaint> kosaidpo: ^^ that command does not work?
[11:57] <kosaidpo> yes it doesnt stlsaint
[12:02] <stlsaint> kosaidpo: you sure your not using the wrong dir location
[12:02] <kosaidpo> stlsaint: noo
[12:03] <kosaidpo> stlsaint: wanna see the ls -a
[12:03] <kosaidpo> haha sorry
[12:03] <kosaidpo> wanna see the structur ?? stlsaint
[12:04] <stlsaint> sure
[12:04] <kosaidpo> stlsaint: well the ls views gave helpers  and scripts dir's and they have files in
[12:05] <stlsaint> kosaidpo: yea you said it wasnt empty
[12:05] <kosaidpo> ls -a modules/default/views has filters  helpers  scripts dir's and no files in
[12:06] <kosaidpo> them i mean these dir's
[12:06] <kosaidpo> stlsaint: you got the image now i hop im clear ;]
[12:07] <stlsaint> kosaidpo: you moved the files only when you used the (/) after the views folder which is why i said dont use it
[12:07] <MrChrisDruif> kosaidpo, here?
[12:07] <MrChrisDruif> You mean?
[12:07] <kosaidpo> MrChrisDruif: hey
[12:07] <kosaidpo> MrChrisDruif: ls -a modules/default/views has filters  helpers  scripts dir's and no files in
[12:08] <kosaidpo> MrChrisDruif: well the ls views gave helpers  and scripts dir's and they have files in
[12:08] <MrChrisDruif> And with a / at the end?
[12:08] <stlsaint> yea
[12:08] <kosaidpo> stlsaint: i didnt get it :P
[12:09] <MrChrisDruif> so "ls -a modules/default/views" should work
[12:09] <MrChrisDruif> Or use tabs to auto-complete in terminal
[12:09] <kosaidpo> guys i solved it i had to add views to the dest thats all Grrrrr
[12:10] <kosaidpo> but why it didnt work in te first why it didnt overide the dir ??
[12:10] <kosaidpo> is it cus it has more dirs in it
[12:11] <MrChrisDruif> What?
[12:11] <kosaidpo> im all lost :P
[12:12] <kosaidpo> it didnt work
[12:12] <MrChrisDruif> You made me lost ;)
[12:12] <kosaidpo> MrChrisDruif: u were sayin abt the / thingy ?
[12:13] <MrChrisDruif> Yeah?
[12:13] <MrChrisDruif> What are you trying to do?
[12:14] <kosaidpo> wht i told u LOL
[12:15] <kosaidpo> ill screen shot it it will be more easy then thousand of word okies MrChrisDruif
[12:16] <MrChrisDruif> Just an ls?
[12:16] <kosaidpo> ok
[12:17] <MrChrisDruif> Damn...I forgot what command open a thing with the default app :(
[12:17] <kosaidpo> im not sure but i guess xdg-open o sumthin
[12:18] <kosaidpo> MrChrisDruif: ls modules/default/views/ ---> filters - helpers scripts
[12:18] <kosaidpo> MrChrisDruif: and ls views has helpers - scripts this last one has files in it
[12:19] <kosaidpo> MrChrisDruif: clear now ?
[12:19] <MrChrisDruif> Yeah that one, thanks komputes
[12:19] <coalwater> ok MrChrisDruif , since we're talking about mv and cp, i have a small question, some times it tells me 'ommiting directory w/e' why does it say that lol
[12:20] <MrChrisDruif> kosaidpo*
[12:20] <komputes> np
[12:20] <MrChrisDruif> coalwater, I think it's because they aren't empty?
[12:20] <coalwater> ok, how do i move a non empty directory
[12:20] <MrChrisDruif> --ignore-fail-on-non-empty
[12:20] <coalwater> does it take a recursive flag?
[12:20] <MrChrisDruif> I think O:-)
[12:21] <MrChrisDruif> But I've just tested it on non empty directory, but it moved without --ignore-fail-on-non-empty
[12:22] <kosaidpo> MrChrisDruif: how abt my case
[12:22] <MrChrisDruif> So an mv /path/to/dir/ /path/to/new/location/
[12:23] <kosaidpo> MrChrisDruif: this one doesnt work
[12:23] <MrChrisDruif> kosaidpo; The ls shows "filters helpers scripts" ?
[12:24] <kosaidpo> MrChrisDruif: its k
[12:25] <kosaidpo> thnaks guys
[12:25] <MrChrisDruif> Alright

[14:13] <DiegoTc> Hi
[14:13] <DiegoTc> I am having this small problem in ubuntu 10.04
[14:13] <DiegoTc> I have my menu http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/3484/pantallazo1mc.png
[14:14] <DiegoTc> I have Herramientas del Sistema (Tool System enable in the menu options)
[14:14] <DiegoTc> when I go to aplications, the Tool System doesn't appear
[14:14] <DiegoTc> don't know why :S
[14:14] <DiegoTc> any idea some one?
[14:16] <hajour> i have asked help for you DiegoTc  in a other channnel
[14:16] <cprofitt> DiegoTc: the highlighted entry?
[14:17] <DiegoTc> cprofitt, nop the upper one
[14:18] <DiegoTc> the one it is highlitighted I just create it
[14:18] <DiegoTc> and it appears, but the one that comes by default it doesn't :(
[14:18] <cprofitt> is there an entry under 'Sistema' for that?
[14:18] <DiegoTc> yes there is
[14:19] <cprofitt> I think that is the one that shows up... if you want the other one to show you may have to check if any applications under that sub-menu are checked to show as well
[14:20] <DiegoTc> cprofitt, the problem is that if I take the check it appear automatically
[14:20] <DiegoTc> so it is always check
[14:20] <DiegoTc> this problem appear last night when i remove the parallel desktop VM
[14:20] <DiegoTc> it was remove from the system, but the icons where not
[14:22] <cprofitt> I am at a loss then DiegoTc
[14:22] <DiegoTc> cprofitt, I was wondering if it will be a bug or something similar, because it is not normal that when you take the check of something, it appears again the check

[15:07] <solgy> hello, I have ubuntu 8.04 server. its blocked this morning and company can not help me except recovery mode. Can I transer my files to another server with recovery mode? like ftp transfer etc..
[15:12] <holstein> solgy: ssh?
[15:13] <holstein> solgy: i would see if you can ssh into it
[15:13] <holstein> its challenging when you dont have physical access
[15:20] <solgy> yes ssh
[15:23] <solgy> i can connect ssh in recovery mode. but i dont know how to transfer :(
[15:23] <solgy> im really noob
[15:34] <xyclo> Hi
[15:34] <xyclo> I want to uninstall ubuntu to do a dual boot xp ubuntu
[15:35] <xyclo> I read that I should install xp first, thus why I want to uninstall ubuntu/format all partitions
[15:35] <xyclo> But I have not been able...
[15:35] <xyclo> Any help please?
[15:38] <xyclo> anybody??
[15:38] <solgy> i think you should change bios first boot device to CDrom
[15:39] <Sidewinder1> From a LiveCD, simply reformat all of the drives/partitions; install XP; insatll ubuntu. CAUTION, all previous data will be gone forever...
[15:39] <xyclo> LiveCD... I have Ubuntu 10.10 install. Is that a LiveCD? It did not work.
[15:39] <xyclo> It asks me to either install or try Ubuntu
[15:40] <solgy> Xp cd
[15:40] <xyclo> XP CD goes to installation directly
[15:40] <xyclo> If I select Recover, it asks for a recovery floppy
[15:40] <Sidewinder1> Yes. It should boot; if not go into your BIOS and adjust your "boot order" to boot to the CD/DVD drive first.
[15:41] <solgy> put your cd and reboot your pc then click to any key for format
[15:41] <solgy> and be sure change bios settings
[15:41] <solgy> changed*
[15:41] <xyclo> hm, it does boot from CD now, I think...
[15:41] <Sidewinder1> If it asks to "try or install", it's a live CD
[15:42] <xyclo> so it is then
[15:42] <xyclo> XP tries to boot but it goes to blue screen "of death" everytime, since (I guess) it cannot recognize partitions in the pc??
[15:42] <Sidewinder1> Would probably be easier to do as solgy says and format with win inst. disk
[15:43] <solgy> please chec the pictures in the link: http://forum.donanimhaber.com/m_10202870/tm.htm
[15:43] <solgy> did you change it?
[15:44] <xyclo> I'll check boot order and boot with XP again. Otherwise you'll see me in a while here
[15:44] <xyclo> Thank you all!!
[15:45] <solgy> may it be easy :)
[15:45] <solgy> about my question anyone know how can I transfer my datas on one server to another one server via recovery mode??
[15:48] <xyclo> Hi again
[15:48] <xyclo> Nah
[15:48] <xyclo> Boot order is fine
[15:49] <xyclo> I have been looking at the XP boot, but it always goes to blue screen...
[15:49] <xyclo> Any other option to erase/format partitions before putting the XP CD?
[15:49] <xyclo> How can I do it with the Live CD?
[15:50] <Sidewinder1> You can boot to Ubuntu LiveCD and reformat the NTFS and ext3/4 partitions using Partition MGR< Gparted, etc...
[15:51] <Sidewinder1> All data will be lost.
[15:51] <xyclo> But when I tried it said that I had not right to do it
[15:52] <xyclo> no*
[15:52] <xyclo> by boot you mean go to TRY option?
[15:52] <Sidewinder1> From the Ubuntu livecd? Hmmm..
[15:52] <Sidewinder1> Yes, "Try".
[15:52] <xyclo> yes, it said No to gparted...
[15:53] <Sidewinder1> * Sidewinder1  scratches hid head.
[15:54] <Sidewinder1> That's always been the way that I've done it.
[15:54] <xyclo> I'll try again
[15:54] <xyclo> so
[15:54] <xyclo> go to Try and then "gparted"
[15:55] <xyclo> then in gparted format ntfs, ext 3/4, right?
[15:55] <xyclo> Sidewinder1?
[15:56] <Sidewinder1> Yes reformat each partition with the file system that you want on each; the first should be win/ntfs
[15:56] <xyclo> Hm... win?
[15:56] <xyclo> I have no windows...
[15:56] <Sidewinder1> ntfs/fat32, etc.
[15:57] <xyclo> so I SET IT to that, right?
[15:57] <xyclo> I am a bit lost,,,
[15:57] <Sidewinder1> not set, format
[15:57] <xyclo> right, that's what I meant, sorry. FORMAT to Ntfs
[15:57] <xyclo> ok
[15:58] <Sidewinder1> Remember, all data on those partitions will be lost
[15:58] <xyclo> yep
[15:58] <Sidewinder1> After formatting.
[15:58] <xyclo> no problem, all backed-up.
[15:58] <xyclo> Thanks!
[15:58] <Sidewinder1> Cool
[15:58] <Sidewinder1> Welks
[16:03] <solgy> can i install a program in recovery mode?? meant: rsync and copy all data to another server via ftp
[16:04] <xardas008> when you have a internet connection you may be able to call sudo apt-get install rsync sure
[16:05] <solgy> in recovery mode? its not a pc its a server and using company's kernel.
[16:05] <solgy> its blocked and i want to backup all data to another server then clean install
[16:06] <solgy> i can only connect recovery mode via ssh.
[16:20] <jrsdead> hey could someone point me to a guide for doing a netinstall to a machine with no cddrive or floppy from a mac?
[16:53] <MrChrisDruif> I'm getting pretty annoyed into where Humanity theme stores it's Gmail icon <_<"
[17:15] <MrChrisDruif> Does nobody know?
[17:32] <mang0> holstein: ?
[17:37] <mang0> bum.
[17:42] <stlsaint> mang0: need help?
[17:42] <mang0> Yes, long story....
[17:42] <mang0> to do with Grub/boot loaders
[17:42] <mang0> Wanna hear the story?
[17:43] <mang0> stlsaint: ^
[17:47] <stlsaint> mang0: oh, bootloader issue?
[17:48] <mang0> yes
[17:48] <mang0> let me type this out
[17:52] <mang0> stlsaint: its quite long
 Guys, I've got Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows XP on two differant hard drives. I made sure the one with ubuntu (and grub) was set to boot first in the bios. When I get to the grub screen, windows XP is listed, but if I select it then I just get an underscore...and then it restarts. The only way I can boot windows is to unplug the drive with ubuntu on, or change the first boot device in the bios, both of which are a
[17:52] <mang0>  bother....I think t
 he problem is to do with the fact that I have reinstalled winXP a couple of times, and I when I boot up windows it asks me to choose which copy to boot (winxp or winxp). Only one of them works though, and I think ubuntu is detecting the one that doesn't...I may be wrong....
[17:57] <stlsaint> mang0: confused grub?
[17:57] <coalwater> check /boot/grub/menu.lst i gues
[17:58] <mang0> something like that stlsaint ...
[17:58] <stlsaint> coalwater: 11.04 does not use grub legacy so there is no menu.lst
[17:58] <mang0> coalwater, do I open that in terminal with "nano /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[17:58] <mang0> ?
[17:58] <mang0> oh
[17:58] <stlsaint> mang0: are you able to get to the linux install?
[17:59] <mang0> yes, I'm on that now...
[17:59] <mang0> wait what do you mean?
[17:59] <mang0> the LiveCD?
[18:01] <stlsaint> mang0: no, the 11.04 install
[18:01] <mang0> oh
[18:01] <mang0> yes, I have an 11.04 alternate Install Disk
[18:02] <mang0> but only a 10.10 livecd, and the 10.10 doesn't like my SATAraid controller
[18:02] <stlsaint> mang0: right now are you on the live install or the livecd?
[18:02] <mang0> I'm on the installation of ubuntu I made
[18:03] <mang0> on my HDD
[18:04] <stlsaint> mang0: go here and download this script (hit the big green button ;) ) put it in your downloads folder and then run it from there via terminal
[18:04] <stlsaint> mang0: http://sourceforge.net/projects/bootinfoscript/
[18:05] <mang0> okay
[18:05] <stlsaint> mang0: that script should output a RESULTS.txt file in your downloads directory
[18:05] <stlsaint> mang0: paste the contents of that file into a pastebin and send me the link
[18:05] <mang0> sure
[18:07] <mang0> stlsaint: http://paste.ubuntu.com/605794/ gotta eat now, back in a bit
[18:21] <stlsaint> mang0: alright well for when you get back it seems that the windows boot loader is causing some issues, also you have a "unknown" boot loader (windows i bet) installed on sda2 which grub is installed to sda, no bueno there, i suggest removing xp all together and making sure grub has control over the master drive and then re-installing, except this time, unplug the sda drive and install windows to the sdb drive, then plug back in sda as 
[18:23] <mang0> I can't reinstall windows
[18:23] <mang0> it's my main OS atm, I have tons and tons of data on there
[18:23] <holstein> cant, or wont
[18:23] <holstein> ?
[18:23] <mang0> 50GB
[18:24] <mang0> hm
[18:24] <mang0> won't
[18:24] <holstein> you should have that data backed up
[18:24] <holstein> period
[18:24] <mang0> I do
[18:24] <mang0> i mean
[18:25] <holstein> how about clearing the mbr's?
[18:25] <mang0> I suppose I could just drag C drive to my external 1tb drive, then completely wipe windows, reinstall (without the ubuntu drive plugged in), then reconfigure grub....sounds like a total mission htough XD
[18:25] <holstein> and re-installing grub?
[18:25] <stlsaint> mang0: welp that was the easy way to solve the problem, if you are stuck in your plan than we will have to dig further around it
[18:25] <coalwater> any idea how to disable the switcher that's initiated by alt+shift+up, because i use that in my IDE, i don't know what compiz plugin uses it
[18:26] <mang0> holstein: mbr's? how do I clear them?
[18:26] <stlsaint> holstein: whoa what?
[18:26] <mang0> stlsaint: Well, I'll use that as a last resort.
[18:26] <holstein> stlsaint: that was an idea i proposed
[18:26] <stlsaint> coalwater: you have alot of swiches being used?
[18:26] <holstein> however
[18:26] <holstein> i feel like you should be able to change the entry
[18:26] <holstein> in grub
[18:27] <coalwater> stlsaint,  it's the same one that used to be super+w
[18:27] <holstein> to boot the proper version of windows
[18:27] <stlsaint> holstein: "clearing" the mbr is the wrong terminology for what you are trying to do (if i understand you correctly)
[18:27] <coalwater> stlsaint, don't remember it's name
[18:27] <stlsaint> coalwater: look in your shortcut key settings
[18:27] <stlsaint> they should list them in a window for you
[18:27] <holstein> stlsaint: probably
[18:27] <mang0> holstein: How do I clear the MBR's? (then reinsall grub?)
[18:28] <holstein> whatever the boot sectors have in them
[18:28] <stlsaint> oh dear
[18:28] <holstein> assuming thats something residual
[18:28] <holstein> that is making grub grab the wrong thing
[18:28] <holstein> and try booting it
[18:28] <holstein> but, that shouldnt be necessayr
[18:28] <holstein> but, that shouldnt be necessary*
[18:29] <mang0> can you edit grub manuallY?
[18:29] <holstein> yes
[18:29] <holstein> that file we talked about yesterday
[18:29] <coalwater> stlsaint, i dont think it's there, the list is too short, and doesn't have the one i want
[18:29] <holstein> with the windows entry in it
[18:29]  * mang0 can't remember
[18:29] <mang0> boot.ini?
[18:30] <mang0> >.>
[18:30] <mang0> So can I not just manually edit grub? Isn't that the easiest way?
[18:30] <holstein>  /boot/grub/grub.cfg was what i was thinking
[18:30] <mang0> ah
[18:30] <holstein> BUT, i suggested reading
[18:30] <holstein> !grub
[18:30] <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 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10)
[18:31] <mang0> OH yeah, i remembre now
[18:31] <holstein> and making sure you know how to recover that information
[18:31] <mang0> I couldn't get links on my phone
[18:31] <holstein> and making a backup*
[18:31] <mang0> I can backup, yeah
[18:31] <holstein> if you have a backup
[18:31] <holstein> and you know how to use the backed up file
[18:32] <holstein> then, you can mess around with that windows grub entry a lot
[18:32] <holstein> and not permanatly break anything
[18:32] <coalwater> stlsaint, ok found it, it's the scale plugin in compiz window management
[18:32] <stlsaint> cool
[18:32] <stlsaint> grub is not causing the problem here
[18:33] <stlsaint> holstein: take a look here to see the real issue: http://paste.ubuntu.com/605794/
[18:33] <holstein> yeah, but can it be used to point to the proper windows installation?
[18:33] <mang0> hm, maybe I should take a look at windows boot.ini....
[18:34] <stlsaint> holstein: yes
[18:34] <stlsaint> mang0: why?
[18:34] <mang0> Maybe I can sort out the dual listing of winXP there...
[18:35] <stlsaint> mang0: considering that windows (let alone something as old and unsupported as xp) have a hard enough time trying to see linux, i doubt you will be able to sort anything from a boot.ini
[18:35] <mang0> it's not to do with windows not seeing linux, its that windows is confused with two copies of itself
[18:35] <mang0> if that makes sense...
[18:36] <mang0> if i can get just ONE "copy" of windows, then it'll just need a new configuration of grub...
[18:37] <stlsaint> mang0: well you said that you wasnt willing to re-install so how will you fix this issue thru windows?
[18:38] <mang0> if boot.ini has two copies of windows listed in it, I can remove one, then reconfigure grub. It would just find the other one (correct one) and then my life would be complete.....almost.
[18:40] <stlsaint> mang0: let me know how that goes for ya
[18:41] <mang0> will do
[18:41] <mang0> :)
[18:43] <mang0> blimey! stlsaint , i can just use super grub disk!
[18:43] <mang0> *facepalm*
[18:45] <stlsaint> mang0: that could be one way
[18:45] <mang0> oh....grub legacy...poop. well I can use the alternate install disk apparantly....
[18:45] <stlsaint> mang0: or a livecd
[18:45] <mang0> yeah, but my liveCD of 10.10 doesn't like my sataraid controller...
[18:46] <mang0> so it doesn't detect my disks
[18:46] <mang0> (hard disks)
[18:46] <stlsaint> mang0: here is my spill on what you *should* do as i see you will do what you want regardless......
[18:46] <mang0> XD
[18:46] <stlsaint> mang0: download a updated livecd that will see your drives (do a little research, i say start with something like slax,knoppix, etc) anything that will give you a graphical environment...
[18:47] <stlsaint> mang0: your culprit is somewhere within sda and i think it is sda2 so start there, see what is on that partition and if nothing, wipe it, its not your swap nor does it contain your root nor your grub2
[18:48] <mang0> yeah...sounds good
[18:48] <stlsaint> keep that results.txt as your reference for your disk layout, it contains everything you need to start working on the issue
[18:49] <stlsaint> mang0: the rest should be simple, your end state is to have a seperation of mbr's for linux and windows and have a grub.config that chainloads from sda(linu) to sdb(windows)
[18:50] <stlsaint> mang0: but first make sure you dont have two installs on that sdb disk in any way form/fashion
[18:50] <mang0> WOAH! I typed in grub-install -v, and it gave a very strange result
[18:50] <stlsaint> mang0: ...... :|
[18:50] <mang0> grub-install (GNU GRUB 0.97)
[18:50] <mang0> is the result
[18:50] <stlsaint> mang0: i give up, go google
[18:50] <mang0> lol.
[18:50] <stlsaint> HA
[18:51] <mang0> so it seems I have legacy grub...interesting.
[18:51] <stlsaint> yep
[18:51] <mang0> going to update, see if that makes a differance.
[18:52] <stlsaint> mang0: did you install grub manually at any point?
[18:52] <mang0> no.....
[18:52] <mang0> that makes it very, VERY strange
[18:52] <stlsaint> run command: cat /etc/issue
[18:52] <stlsaint> paste output here
[18:52] <mang0> Ubuntu 11.04 \n \l
[18:53] <stlsaint> mang0: yep you messed something up
[18:54] <mang0> bloody hell, this is so messed up
[18:54] <stlsaint> lol
[18:54] <stlsaint> hold a sec
[18:54] <bioterror> stlsaint, lsb_release -rc
[18:54] <mang0> okay, updated.
[18:55] <mang0> grub-install (GRUB) 1.99~rc1-13ubuntu3
[18:55] <mang0> :)
[18:55] <mang0> gonna reboot to try this out, bb in a sec
[18:57] <raju>  
[19:00] <mang0> Bother.
[19:00] <stlsaint> same?
[19:01] <mang0> yes. -BUT-. Yesturday I edited the grub.confg (or whatever it's called). I deleted a line, and replaced chainloader +1 with something else
[19:01] <mang0> somone in #grub helped...
[19:03] <stlsaint> mang0: why were you editing a grub file if you knew you were suppose to be using grub2?
[19:03] <stlsaint> chainloader is what is suppose to get you to windows
[19:03] <mang0> I thought I was using grub2!
[19:03] <mang0> O.o I'm so bloody confused
[19:03]  * mang0 gets magnet, and wipes computer
[19:04] <stlsaint> mang0: well whatever you did with your friend in grub channel got grub legacy on your system (maybe you didnt know what commands you were running or something)
[19:04] <mang0> how strange, just looking at some screenshots of grub2, and mine looks identical to what grub legacy looks like
[19:04] <mang0> :S
[19:06] <stlsaint> mang0: well i have given my advice, good luck to ya mate
[19:06] <mang0> Thanks :)

[21:27] <froq> the hdd was not encrypted
[21:33] <froq> the hdd was not encrypted
[21:43] <froq> Okay.  So i have files from an old OSx HFS+ partition that only allows that have the following permissions: owner: read/write group: ZERO Others: ZERO.... I cannot do anything with them... anyway I can get those files?
[21:45] <froq> will sudo apt-get upgrade upgrade my os?  I am rocking 10.04, and don't want to go to 11.04.
[21:50] <bioterror> !lts | froq
[21:50] <ubot2> froq: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Hardy (Hardy Herron 8.04)
[21:51] <bioterror> I have no idea about HFS+ support under linux
[21:51] <bioterror> I've usually moved data between two computers
[21:51] <bioterror> by using samba or ftp
[21:58] <xyclo_> Hello!
[21:58] <MrChrisDruif> Aloha xyclo_
[21:58] <xyclo_> Still struggling with installing XP...
[21:59] <MrChrisDruif> ???
[21:59] <MrChrisDruif> Windows XP?
[21:59] <xyclo_> I think I have wiped clean my pc, but xp install goes to blue screen every time...
[21:59] <xyclo_> At this point I guess I should go to an XP channel...
[21:59] <xyclo_> #me hate XP
[22:00] <MrChrisDruif> xyclo_; Windows XP?
[22:00] <xyclo_> I need to do a dual boot
[22:00] <xyclo_> so I uninstalled Natty
[22:01] <xyclo_> I have been trying to format the hdd properly, because XP won't install
[22:06] <xyclo_> I used gparted and deleted all partitions. Then formatted to ntfs, then fat32 and none worked
[22:06] <xyclo_> Too bad I need to install XP! It's for work...
[22:09] <Decca> I am using ubuntu 11.4 and firefox crashed, it wont let me open another, can not locate program to be closed or forced closed, only answer back from system is to reboot, is this going to be the answer to all crashed programs from now on?
[23:41] <MrChrisDruif> I'm offline, see y'all tomorrow :) Aloha!
