[00:02] <head_victim> 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] <philipballew> where do you live that makes such the time difference? good night !!!
[00:03] <head_victim> I'm in Brisbane, Australia :)
[00:04] <philipballew> nice!!!

[16:43] <Who[ares> 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] <coalwater> Who[ares, so ur ubuntu is installed under windows?
[16:47] <Who[ares> yep
[16:48] <Who[ares> and when I open boot.ini , I don't see anything about Ubuntu ....
[16:48] <Who[ares> I've re-installed ubuntu about 5-6 times and I always end up with the same problem ...
[17:29] <coalwater> ah, why do people forget to say names when they are talking lol, i dont get pinged and i forget
[17:57] <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!
[17:58] <IdleOne> groos: man cat is meant to open the manual page
[17:59] <n4cht> /bin/cat?  is that like a litterbox?
[18:00] <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
[18:01] <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!
[18:02] <IdleOne> this is not -ot, this is a help channel
[18:03] <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?
[18:04] <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
[18:05] <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.
[18:06] <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.
[18:07] <groos> wastrel: yes.  and that brings up another q.
[18:08] <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?
[18:09] <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
[18:10] <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
[18:11] <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
[18:12] <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.
[18:13] <bioterror> dont you Gentoo ricers have a kernel or something to compile?
[18:14] <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
[18:15] <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
[18:16] <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.
[18:17] <maverickx> Bye ppl.
[18:18] <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 ;)
[18:19] <bioterror> two 7140M's
[18:19] <n4cht> bioterror: if i weren't unemployed.  :|
[18:20] <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.
[18:21] <n4cht> like right now.  i'm compiling gnome-shell from git in my home dir so i can run it without breaking unity.
[18:22] <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 :]
[18:24] <bioterror> wastrel, should oc to 450MHz easily?
[18:25] <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
[18:30]  * cprofitt enters the channel
[18:30]  * cprofitt reads the scrollback
[18:30] <DarkwingDuck> Hey cprofitt
[18:31] <bioterror> DarkwingDuck got dangerous!
[18:31] <DarkwingDuck> hehehe
[18:32] <cprofitt> GUYS - PLEASE DO NOT FEED TROLLS
[18:32] <cprofitt> while it may seem funny or humorous, it usually only makes matters worse
[18:33] <DarkwingDuck> cprofitt: is there a way to add my name to the !ops list?
[18:34] <JonathanD> DarkwingDuck: the usual thing is just to hilight on !ops
[18:34] <DarkwingDuck> JonathanD: good idea.
[18:35] <IdleOne> irssi user pfft
[18:35] <IdleOne> it's highlight
[18:35] <IdleOne> :)
[18:36]  * DarkwingDuck loves irssi
[18:40] <cprofitt> DarkwingDuck: do you have ops in the channel?
[18:40] <DarkwingDuck> cprofitt: Yes
[18:41] <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.
[18:42] <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
[18:43] <JonathanD> DarkwingDuck: in irssi you can also configure the hilights to only be kicked in specific channels.
[18:44] <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 :)
[18:45] <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
[18:46] <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.
[18:47] <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 ;)
[18:49] <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
[18:50] <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!
[18:51] <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
[18:52] <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...
[18:53] <DarkwingDuck> Will do.
[18:53] <DarkwingDuck> We have a couple LUGs down here that I want to work with.
[18:54] <JonathanD> We have camping geeknic here next month.
[18:54] <JonathanD> They're always my favorite.
[18:54] <DarkwingDuck> :D
[18:55] <JonathanD> might try to do a canoe trip this summer too
[23:44] <Proz01d> hey guys i used the following site to search on a particular program i want. (http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/eurephia)  Now that i have found it how would i install it?  when i do apt-get eurephia it cannot find anything
[23:45] <holstein> Proz01d: are you running 11.10?
[23:47] <holstein> http://packages.ubuntu.com/natty/eurephia
[23:47] <Proz01d> 10.04
[23:47] <holstein> Proz01d: looks like it made it into the repos for natty+
[23:48] <Proz01d> so can i still get it ?
[23:48] <Proz01d> or it's not possible
[23:49] <holstein> Proz01d: you can always 'get' it, you're running linux ;)
[23:50] <holstein> i dont see a PPA...
[23:52] <holstein> you can always download the source from http://www.eurephia.net/?download
[23:52] <Proz01d> gross..
[23:53] <Proz01d> lol
[23:53] <Proz01d> i was afraid you would say that.
[23:53] <Proz01d> guess it's time to learn how to compile in linux
[23:54] <holstein> Proz01d: learn how to make a .deb, and host a PPA :)
[23:54] <holstein> Proz01d: you can try http://packages.ubuntu.com/oneiric/i386/eurephia/download
