By all means ask more questions I'm sure someone else can help you as well. | 00:02 |

| groos | Hello, all. I have a text file I created at /bin/cat, and I need to get its content into another file, /dev/sda1. I tried 'sudo man cat /bin/cat | dd /dev/sda1', but it gave error "invalid argument". This makes no sense cuz I passed no arguments. Help! | 17:57 |
| IdleOne | groos: man cat is meant to open the manual page | 17:58 |
| n4cht | /bin/cat? is that like a litterbox? | 17:59 |
| groos | no it is a log of all the cats I take care of food etc. litterbox data are included aswell. | 18:00 |
| wastrel | this is the beginner channel | 18:00 |
| wastrel | yeah don't run that command you'll break the filesystem on /dev/sda1 | 18:01 |
| groos | should i move to another chan for this q then?? | 18:01 |
| wastrel | thanks groos for being a sociopath | 18:01 |
| wastrel | you should go find a large ocean and throw your computer into it | 18:01 |
| wastrel | !danger | groos | 18:01 |
| IdleOne | wastrel: any reason you are being non helpful and rude? | 18:01 |
| ubot2 | groos: DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 18:01 |
| IdleOne | this is not -ot, this is a help channel | 18:02 |
| groos | i am confused its meant to show the manual right? then how is that dangerous | 18:03 |
| groos | also what CMD do i use?? | 18:03 |
| charlie-tca | groos: please ignore wastrel today | 18:03 |
| wastrel | seriously? /bin/cat is a list of cats you take care of? | 18:03 |
| charlie-tca | questions from people needing helpful instructions are things we take care of here | 18:04 |
| wastrel | i feel like i'm taking crazy pills | 18:04 |
| groos | it started as just cats but my ferret is there too now cuz i didn't want to take up more space creating another file. | 18:05 |
| wastrel | and you chose to place it in /bin/ where you keep all your other text files? | 18:06 |
| charlie-tca | groos: do you have a real question or are you just trying to create problems? | 18:06 |
| groos | i would really like to know the command to move that text. | 18:06 |
| groos | wastrel: yes. and that brings up another q. | 18:07 |
| groos | why do i have to type sudo to get to my file bin? | 18:08 |
| groos | isnt that the admin account?? | 18:08 |
| kristian_ | holstein, yo? | 18:08 |
| maverickx | @groos, me too! I don't get it! It's a bin for storing files, but I always have to put in my password to access it. | 18:09 |
| bioterror | we have a trash bin | 18:09 |
| bioterror | I put trash in that bin | 18:09 |
| maverickx | I just put my trash files in /bin/Trash | 18:10 |
| groos | but trash bin does not require sudo tho | 18:10 |
| groos | bin does | 18:10 |
| bioterror | I do "sudo mv ~/Desktop/*.jpg /bin" | 18:11 |
| maverickx | I like that it requires sudo for that, because it keeps me from deleting things by accident. | 18:11 |
| bioterror | and then they are in my trash bin | 18:11 |
| bioterror | okay kids, get lost with your trolling ;) | 18:12 |
| groos | what will that do to the file name tho? i need it on my harddrive, sda1. | 18:12 |
| maverickx | bioterror: I thought the trash bin was /bin/Trash? Now I'm confused. | 18:12 |
| bioterror | dont you Gentoo ricers have a kernel or something to compile? | 18:13 |
| maverickx | Gentoo ricer? What's that? I use Gentoo to move stuff to the trash bin.. that's the only way I can see two folders at one time. | 18:14 |
| pleia2 | !ops | 18:14 |
| ubot2 | Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) - bodhizazen, nhandler, paultag, Rocket2DMn, ibuclaw, cprofitt, Tronyx, PriceChild, Hellow, Silver-Fox-, or PabloRubianes! | 18:14 |
| charlie-tca | wastrel: my apologies if you were genuinely trying to be helpful. | 18:14 |
| wastrel | funroll loops | 18:14 |
| wastrel | charlie-tca: no worries i never try to be helpful | 18:15 |
| groos | i don't appreciate being called a ricer. | 18:15 |
| wastrel | it just sometimes happens! | 18:15 |
| wastrel | i used to like gentoo before ubuntu existed | 18:15 |
| groos | my cousin uses gentoo and he's from germany. | 18:16 |
| maverickx | Okay, I'm really confused. I don't understand what rice has to do with my choice of file manager, nor what the emergency is. What's going on? I thought when you needed help you were supposed to click the X icon and go to 'ubuntu irc'? Now that I'm all confused I am going to bed. | 18:16 |
| maverickx | Bye ppl. | 18:17 |
| n4cht | meh. gentoo is neat, but i run a single-core celeron. binary distros are much easier to deal with for me. | 18:18 |
| bioterror | n4cht, buy my dual xeon workstation ;) | 18:18 |
| bioterror | two 7140M's | 18:19 |
| n4cht | bioterror: if i weren't unemployed. :| | 18:19 |
| n4cht | i'm actually pretty content with this system though. just got it last week. 64bit celeron 900 @2.2Ghz. it's not bad, but sometimes compiling takes a while. | 18:20 |
| n4cht | like right now. i'm compiling gnome-shell from git in my home dir so i can run it without breaking unity. | 18:21 |
| n4cht | rut-roh. i have a case of what's called "wife aggro" in the mmo world. be back in a bit. wife wants snuggles | 18:22 |
| wastrel | n4cht: when i ran gentoo it was on a celeron 333 :] | 18:22 |
| bioterror | wastrel, should oc to 450MHz easily? | 18:24 |
| bioterror | 333MHz Celeron in front of that sentence | 18:25 |
| wastrel | that was many years ago, my compy is now core2duo something | 18:25 |
| bioterror | yeah that was around 1998 | 18:25 |
| * cprofitt enters the channel | 18:30 | |
| * cprofitt reads the scrollback | 18:30 | |
| DarkwingDuck | Hey cprofitt | 18:30 |
| bioterror | DarkwingDuck got dangerous! | 18:31 |
| DarkwingDuck | hehehe | 18:31 |
| cprofitt | GUYS - PLEASE DO NOT FEED TROLLS | 18:32 |
| cprofitt | while it may seem funny or humorous, it usually only makes matters worse | 18:32 |
| DarkwingDuck | cprofitt: is there a way to add my name to the !ops list? | 18:33 |
| JonathanD | DarkwingDuck: the usual thing is just to hilight on !ops | 18:34 |
| DarkwingDuck | JonathanD: good idea. | 18:34 |
| IdleOne | irssi user pfft | 18:35 |
| IdleOne | it's highlight | 18:35 |
| IdleOne | :) | 18:35 |
| * DarkwingDuck loves irssi | 18:36 | |
| cprofitt | DarkwingDuck: do you have ops in the channel? | 18:40 |
| DarkwingDuck | cprofitt: Yes | 18:40 |
| UndiFineD | ooh ops a;ert | 18:41 |
| DarkwingDuck | cprofitt: I have ops for all the Ubuntu-beginners-* | 18:41 |
| UndiFineD | alert | 18:41 |
| DarkwingDuck | :D | 18:41 |
| DarkwingDuck | Or, I should. | 18:41 |
| cprofitt | not sure how to change that... but I can look in to it | 18:41 |
| cprofitt | !ops | 18:41 |
| ubot2 | Help! Channel emergency! (ONLY use this trigger in emergencies) - bodhizazen, nhandler, paultag, Rocket2DMn, ibuclaw, cprofitt, Tronyx, PriceChild, Hellow, Silver-Fox-, or PabloRubianes! | 18:41 |
| cprofitt | we likely have to go to the ubot2 team -- which is Ubuntu IRC ops | 18:41 |
| DarkwingDuck | I have !ops hilighted now. | 18:41 |
| DarkwingDuck | So, It will ping me. | 18:42 |
| JonathanD | cprofitt: thats been the case in the past, I think. | 18:42 |
| UndiFineD | i have a highlight on "ops" | 18:42 |
| cprofitt | looks like we have people to remove too | 18:42 |
| * DarkwingDuck nods | 18:42 | |
| DarkwingDuck | I'll talk to jussi | 18:42 |
| cprofitt | thanks DarkwingDuck | 18:42 |
| JonathanD | DarkwingDuck: in irssi you can also configure the hilights to only be kicked in specific channels. | 18:43 |
| DarkwingDuck | JonathanD: Yup | 18:44 |
| cprofitt | JonathanD: link me to this new level of irssi fu | 18:44 |
| JonathanD | the ! ops trigger is used in lots of channels with and without bots, so if you don't filter it you might get a tad annoyed :) | 18:44 |
| JonathanD | cprofitt: just append the channel name. | 18:45 |
| JonathanD | I'm not sure if wildcards work... | 18:45 |
| cprofitt | append to what? | 18:45 |
| UndiFineD | JonathanD, I am fine and I am in some 50 channels | 18:45 |
| DarkwingDuck | cprofitt: use /help hilight | 18:45 |
| JonathanD | /hilight bob #ubuntu-beginners | 18:45 |
| DarkwingDuck | cprofitt: all the foo is in there. XD | 18:45 |
| JonathanD | UndiFineD: It depends on the person, I suppose :) | 18:46 |
| JonathanD | I only filter my "bad language hilights" | 18:46 |
| JonathanD | since they get triggered all the time otherwise. | 18:46 |
| JonathanD | But I hover around 700-800 windows, too. | 18:46 |
| Pici | DarkwingDuck: I added you to the ops call for this channel, whenever the factoid list gets synced it should show up. | 18:47 |
| UndiFineD | mymy, you are a busy bee | 18:47 |
| DarkwingDuck | Pici: Thank yee | 18:47 |
| JonathanD | UndiFineD: I don't wish to miss anything ;) | 18:47 |
| DarkwingDuck | JonathanD: what did you do? Join all #ubuntu-* ? | 18:49 |
| DarkwingDuck | :P:P | 18:49 |
| JonathanD | DarkwingDuck: I'm not in all of them, no... | 18:49 |
| JonathanD | I'm in many of the state channels, though. | 18:49 |
| DarkwingDuck | XD | 18:49 |
| JonathanD | and lots of lug channels too | 18:49 |
| DarkwingDuck | and you don't lurk in mine. :P | 18:49 |
| JonathanD | I organize picnics and events and such, and it's nice to have an idea of who, where, might be interested in what. | 18:50 |
| JonathanD | DarkwingDuck: I don't do them in that neck of the woods ;) | 18:50 |
| JonathanD | pleia2 does, though! | 18:50 |
| DarkwingDuck | hehehe. Oh I know... We are both part of the tri-leadership team for California | 18:51 |
| JonathanD | have you gone to any CA geeknics? | 18:51 |
| DarkwingDuck | No, those are 8 hours north of me. | 18:51 |
| JonathanD | ah | 18:51 |
| JonathanD | I suppose I'll excuse that :P | 18:51 |
| DarkwingDuck | I'm planning one for San Diego/Los Angeles | 18:52 |
| JonathanD | Great :) | 18:52 |
| DarkwingDuck | :P I'm 3 miles from mexico... 10 miles south of San Diego City | 18:52 |
| JonathanD | Make sure you let me know, I'll post it... | 18:52 |
| DarkwingDuck | Will do. | 18:53 |
| DarkwingDuck | We have a couple LUGs down here that I want to work with. | 18:53 |
| JonathanD | We have camping geeknic here next month. | 18:54 |
| JonathanD | They're always my favorite. | 18:54 |
| DarkwingDuck | :D | 18:54 |
| JonathanD | might try to do a canoe trip this summer too | 18:55 |

| holstein | Proz01d: are you running 11.10? | 23:45 |
| holstein | http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/eurephia | 23:47 |
| Proz01d | 10.04 | 23:47 |
