[00:02] philipballew: well I have to head to bed, it's 9am here and I haven't slept yet (I hate night shifts!) If you have a read over those links you should get a good feel for what does what and what is going to suit your needs best. By all means ask more questions I'm sure someone else can help you as well. [00:03] where do you live that makes such the time difference? good night !!! [00:03] I'm in Brisbane, Australia :) [00:04] nice!!!

[12:36] NRWlion: what kind of a supporter do you need? [12:36] i have Dan__ at #ubuntu-beginners-team asking for help to delete an uninstalled program from his application list [12:37] Dan__: i have posted your request here ... so you might get help now [12:37] Dan__: you have natty so you're using unity? [12:50] u scared the guy away :D [12:51] NRWlion, duanedesign keeps coming and going, i dont know what he's doing :D, i need to talk to him too lol [12:51] :D [12:51] * NRWlion not any more [16:43] Hello Everyone ! I have a problem with Ubuntu 11.04 . I installed it with Wubi but the boot menu doesn't show up when I reboot my CPU ... It just goes directly to win Xp ... Can anyone tell me why won't the dual boot menu show up ? [16:44] Who[ares, so ur ubuntu is installed under windows? [16:47] yep [16:48] and when I open boot.ini , I don't see anything about Ubuntu .... [16:48] I've re-installed ubuntu about 5-6 times and I always end up with the same problem ... === nlsthzn is now known as nlsthzn-work [17:29] ah, why do people forget to say names when they are talking lol, i dont get pinged and i forget [17:57] 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! [17:58] groos: man cat is meant to open the manual page [17:59] /bin/cat? is that like a litterbox? [18:00] no it is a log of all the cats I take care of food etc. litterbox data are included aswell. [18:00] this is the beginner channel [18:01] yeah don't run that command you'll break the filesystem on /dev/sda1 [18:01] should i move to another chan for this q then?? [18:01] thanks groos for being a sociopath [18:01] you should go find a large ocean and throw your computer into it [18:01] !danger | groos [18:01] wastrel: any reason you are being non helpful and rude? [18:01] 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! [18:02] this is not -ot, this is a help channel [18:03] i am confused its meant to show the manual right? then how is that dangerous [18:03] also what CMD do i use?? [18:03] groos: please ignore wastrel today [18:03] seriously? /bin/cat is a list of cats you take care of? [18:04] questions from people needing helpful instructions are things we take care of here [18:04] i feel like i'm taking crazy pills [18:05] 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. [18:06] and you chose to place it in /bin/ where you keep all your other text files? [18:06] groos: do you have a real question or are you just trying to create problems? [18:06] i would really like to know the command to move that text. [18:07] wastrel: yes. and that brings up another q. [18:08] why do i have to type sudo to get to my file bin? [18:08] isnt that the admin account?? [18:08] holstein, yo? [18:09] @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] we have a trash bin [18:09] I put trash in that bin [18:10] I just put my trash files in /bin/Trash [18:10] but trash bin does not require sudo tho [18:10] bin does [18:11] I do "sudo mv ~/Desktop/*.jpg /bin" [18:11] I like that it requires sudo for that, because it keeps me from deleting things by accident. [18:11] and then they are in my trash bin [18:12] okay kids, get lost with your trolling ;) [18:12] what will that do to the file name tho? i need it on my harddrive, sda1. [18:12] bioterror: I thought the trash bin was /bin/Trash? Now I'm confused. [18:13] dont you Gentoo ricers have a kernel or something to compile? [18:14] 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] !ops [18:14] Help! Channel emergency!

[18:14] funroll loops [18:15] charlie-tca: no worries i never try to be helpful [18:15] i don't appreciate being called a ricer. [18:15] it just sometimes happens! [18:15] i used to like gentoo before ubuntu existed [18:16] my cousin uses gentoo and he's from germany. [18:16] 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. [18:17] Bye ppl. [18:18] meh. gentoo is neat, but i run a single-core celeron. binary distros are much easier to deal with for me. [18:18] n4cht, buy my dual xeon workstation ;) [18:19] two 7140M's [18:19] bioterror: if i weren't unemployed. :| [18:20] 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. [18:21] like right now. i'm compiling gnome-shell from git in my home dir so i can run it without breaking unity. [18:22] 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] n4cht: when i ran gentoo it was on a celeron 333 :] [18:24] wastrel, should oc to 450MHz easily? [18:25] 333MHz Celeron in front of that sentence [18:25] that was many years ago, my compy is now core2duo something [18:25] yeah that was around 1998 [18:30] * cprofitt enters the channel [18:30] * cprofitt reads the scrollback [18:30] Hey cprofitt [18:31] DarkwingDuck got dangerous! [18:31] hehehe [18:32] GUYS - PLEASE DO NOT FEED TROLLS [18:32] while it may seem funny or humorous, it usually only makes matters worse [18:33] cprofitt: is there a way to add my name to the !ops list? [18:34] DarkwingDuck: the usual thing is just to hilight on !ops [18:34] JonathanD: good idea. [18:35] irssi user pfft [18:35] it's highlight [18:35] :) [18:36] * DarkwingDuck loves irssi [18:40] DarkwingDuck: do you have ops in the channel? [18:40] cprofitt: Yes [18:41] ooh ops a;ert [18:41] cprofitt: I have ops for all the Ubuntu-beginners-* [18:41] alert [18:41] :D [18:41] Or, I should.

[18:42] i have a highlight on "ops" [18:42] looks like we have people to remove too [18:42] * DarkwingDuck nods [18:42] I'll talk to jussi [18:42] thanks DarkwingDuck [18:43] DarkwingDuck: in irssi you can also configure the hilights to only be kicked in specific channels. [18:44] JonathanD: Yup [18:44] JonathanD: link me to this new level of irssi fu [18:44] 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 :) [18:45] cprofitt: just append the channel name. [18:45] I'm not sure if wildcards work... [18:45] append to what? [18:45] JonathanD, I am fine and I am in some 50 channels [18:45] cprofitt: use /help hilight [18:45] /hilight bob #ubuntu-beginners [18:45] cprofitt: all the foo is in there. XD [18:46] UndiFineD: It depends on the person, I suppose :) [18:46] I only filter my "bad language hilights" [18:46] since they get triggered all the time otherwise. [18:46] But I hover around 700-800 windows, too. [18:47] DarkwingDuck: I added you to the ops call for this channel, whenever the factoid list gets synced it should show up. [18:47] mymy, you are a busy bee [18:47] Pici: Thank yee [18:47] UndiFineD: I don't wish to miss anything ;) [18:49] JonathanD: what did you do? Join all #ubuntu-* ? [18:49] :P:P [18:49] DarkwingDuck: I'm not in all of them, no... [18:49] I'm in many of the state channels, though. [18:49] XD [18:49] and lots of lug channels too [18:49] and you don't lurk in mine. :P [18:50] 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] DarkwingDuck: I don't do them in that neck of the woods ;) [18:50] pleia2 does, though! [18:51] hehehe. Oh I know... We are both part of the tri-leadership team for California [18:51] have you gone to any CA geeknics? [18:51] No, those are 8 hours north of me. [18:51] ah [18:51] I suppose I'll excuse that :P [18:52] I'm planning one for San Diego/Los Angeles [18:52] Great :) [18:52] :P I'm 3 miles from mexico... 10 miles south of San Diego City [18:52] Make sure you let me know, I'll post it... [18:53] Will do. [18:53] We have a couple LUGs down here that I want to work with. [18:54] We have camping geeknic here next month. [18:54] They're always my favorite.
