| jahsun | hey guys having problems getting unity working. installed new vid card w/512mb and 3d w/ shading, activated the drivers but no unity...any ideas? | 00:11 |
|---|---|---|
| jamalta | jahsun: are you logging in with a normal Ubuntu session (instead of Ubuntu Classic)? | 00:12 |
| jamalta | jahsun: if you are, try running unity --reset in a terminal | 00:12 |
| jamalta | Unity seems to disable itself if it fails to start on your first login | 00:13 |
| jahsun | yes, ubuntu norm sesh | 00:13 |
| jahsun | yes it did | 00:13 |
| jahsun | ill try reset | 00:13 |
| jamalta | jahsun: hope it works :) | 00:15 |
| jahsun | sweet jamalta! i did already do --reset but did not work so i changed the driver and rebooted but did not do reset again... but this time it did! | 00:15 |
| jahsun | thank you! | 00:15 |
| jahsun | needed recommended driver and reset | 00:16 |
| jamalta | jahsun: cool! glad it works now :) | 00:16 |
| jamalta | unity ftw!! | 00:16 |
| jahsun | lol! | 00:16 |
| jahsun | hey jamalta, so it worked but had gnome over it, so i logged out and back in and it did not start, any other ideas? | 00:24 |
| jahsun | i can start it w/running unity from bash | 00:25 |
| jahsun | gnome still running tho | 00:25 |

| pak33m | shhh, be quiet in here | 19:08 |
| zus | does anyone specialize in HDD recovery? i was in the gparted and i think i may have ruined my 1TB usb drive. | 19:31 |
| DammitJim | zus, what do you have? | 19:32 |
| DammitJim | I have ran into problems with HDDs lately, so maybe I know | 19:32 |
| zus | its one of them western digital from wal mart jobs | 19:33 |
| DammitJim | so, what is it doing? not doing? | 19:33 |
| zus | i was messing in gparted and i thought i changed the pulll down option for the drive | 19:33 |
| DammitJim | what pull down option? | 19:34 |
| zus | there was the old system recovery that vista had and my drive and of course my linux. i went to delete the old vista sys recovery and grabbed my ntfs one | 19:35 |
| zus | it wont even mount in dolphin, but i read the data might still be there | 19:37 |
| DammitJim | so, this drive is connected via USB, right? | 19:37 |
| DammitJim | what does dmesg say? | 19:37 |
| zus | it is usb, i didnt do dmesg, one sec | 19:38 |
| zus | thats a lot! | 19:41 |
| zus | but it shows up, "My Passport" | 19:42 |
| DammitJim | does it show an sdb or sdd? | 19:44 |
| zus | sdb | 19:44 |
| zus | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery on here i read i need a device with as much or more space,... so i pretty much screwed, i think there was 140 something gigs left on it | 19:47 |
| zus | supposed i cant mount a partition on it to recover,...or mayhaps even an os? i think i had 140gigs left on it...'it was nearly full with music and movies, and my own music... | 19:49 |
| DammitJim | zus, so, it doesn't show an sdb1 or sdb2? | 19:55 |
| zus | DammitJim, just sdb | 19:55 |
| DammitJim | can you pastebin your dmesg? | 19:57 |
| zus | yea, one sec | 19:57 |
| zus | DammitJim, is there anything in there i should "*" out? | 19:59 |
| DammitJim | I probably just need to see the bottom part where it detected the usb connection | 19:59 |
| DammitJim | brb | 20:00 |
| DammitJim | sorry about that | 20:15 |
| zus | DammitJim, no problem, my favorite part in fast times at ridgemont high was on lol http://pastebin.com/AQQZJVCh | 20:16 |
| DammitJim | weird... it's like you have no partition information | 20:18 |
| DammitJim | so, the device cannot be mounted | 20:18 |
| zus | meh, how does the feds recover files from hard drives lol. | 20:18 |
| DammitJim | I have a drive like that... all it says is sdb: | 20:18 |
| DammitJim | where normally you would see sdb: sdb1, sdb2 | 20:18 |
| DammitJim | oh, you can send it to a place where they open them up... last time I did that, it cost $700 | 20:19 |
| DammitJim | does gparted detect it? | 20:19 |
| zus | yep | 20:19 |
| DammitJim | can you see the different partitions in gpart4ed? | 20:19 |
| zus | well im on kubuntu but still it is detected. | 20:19 |
| DammitJim | that's ok | 20:20 |
| zus | i can afford 700, sure the data on it is priceless but really ill rerecord my music, the drive cost 109 $ at walmart | 20:21 |
| zus | after 2 yrs of not working i get a job and 3 months the contracts ran out i got layed off | 20:21 |
| DammitJim | sorry.. have to run to a meeting | 20:28 |
| munz | zus: try testdisk http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 21:03 |
| zus | munz, im trying to look for something i can recover with on the drive, needing an other device of the same size for me is kinda impossible atm | 21:04 |
| munz | oh. ityit's not spinning up? | 21:05 |
| munz | *it's | 21:05 |
| atm-bezvat | hi | 21:05 |
| munz | hi atm-bezvat :) | 21:05 |
| munz | welcome | 21:05 |
| zus | it is it just isnt mounting so i think it has no partition table | 21:06 |
| munz | read the documentation on test disk | 21:06 |
| munz | if it's partition related | 21:07 |
| munz | testdisk is the stuff!!! | 21:07 |
| munz | i've recovered soooooo much w/it | 21:07 |
| zus | i think that whoat it is | 21:07 |
| munz | you can give it a try | 21:08 |
| munz | if it is partition issue new hardware will not help | 21:08 |
| zus | i wish i was closer to orlando area would be nice to meet up with some one who can help | 21:08 |
