[03:13] <ApOgEE> hello all
[04:02] <truepurple> I had a usb flash drive folder that i accidently did something to, now I can't find it, how do I find out what happened to it?
[04:07] <ApOgEE> truepurple: did u unmount it?
[04:07] <truepurple> I might have accidently moved it or something
[04:07] <truepurple> I was trying to open it, but I messed up in my mouse movement
[04:08] <ApOgEE> check with this command on terminal: sudo mount
[04:08] <ApOgEE> if you can see your flash drive is mounted, then just go to the dir
[04:08] <truepurple> it says a bunch of stuff I don't understand
[04:09] <ApOgEE> copy & paste it to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com and give me the link
[04:10] <truepurple> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/614007/
[04:11] <ApOgEE> i see...
[04:11] <ApOgEE> the /media/2 is your second partition
[04:12] <ApOgEE> so, you don't have your usb flash drive mounted
[04:12] <ApOgEE> just unplug and replug again will do
[04:13] <truepurple> I did that
[04:13] <ApOgEE> then?
[04:13] <ApOgEE> it didn't automount?
[04:14] <truepurple> I did that before I even came in here
[04:14] <holstein> truepurple: and it didnt auto-mount?
[04:14] <truepurple> Thats what I said
[04:15] <holstein> truepurple: so thats a no?
[04:15] <truepurple> Well I said I did that before I came in, and apogee said its not mounted, so clearly it didn't automount
[04:16] <holstein> the media i have like that, that wont auto-mount, is bad in some way or other
[04:17] <ApOgEE> truepurple: can you find your usb drive in : fdisk -l
[04:17] <ApOgEE> ?
[04:17] <ApOgEE> $ sudo fdisk -l
[04:17] <truepurple> put that as a terminal command?
[04:17] <ApOgEE> yes
[04:17] <ApOgEE> sudo fdisk -l
[04:18] <ApOgEE> then paste the output on pastebin again
[04:18] <truepurple> not there
[04:18] <truepurple>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[04:19] <truepurple> dd
[04:19] <holstein> truepurple: if it were my drive, i would take it to another machine, and see if it mounts, or shows up
[04:19] <truepurple> dev/sda1               1      243202  1953514583+  ee  GPT
[04:21] <truepurple> It was mounted and working before, the drive was fine, I just mismoved my mouse or something when trying to open it and it disappeared
[04:23]  * ApOgEE gtg
[04:24] <holstein> truepurple: can you try it in another machine though?
[04:24] <holstein> just to confirm*
[04:24] <truepurple> Confirm what?
[04:24] <holstein> truepurple: that the USB stick is functional
[04:25] <truepurple> Why would a misclick destroy the functionality of the usb drive?
[04:25] <truepurple> I mean how could it
[04:25] <holstein> well, im proposing the stick died
[04:25] <holstein> we can go around for a long while troubleshooting a dead stick, which is exactly the behavior i would expect from a bad USB stick
[04:28] <truepurple> how could I kill the stick from a misclick?
[04:28] <holstein> truepurple: im proposing you didnt
[04:28] <holstein> what im saying is, the stick went bad, and whatever you did is irrelevant
[04:28] <truepurple> I will try it
[04:28] <holstein> BUT, just plug it in another machine, and if it boots, then thats *not* the case
[04:29] <holstein> and we can look at your OS configuration
[04:31] <truepurple> well its light does flash when its in
[04:31] <holstein> truepurple: we dont know what that means though
[04:32] <holstein> if you cant get it to mount as expected on another machine
[04:32] <holstein> then, i think its safe to assume its the stick and not the OS
[04:32] <holstein> the light could just mean the computer/os is trying to mount it, causing the activity light to blink
[05:23] <truepurple> I tested it on my other PC, it works
[05:23] <truepurple> holstein: You still there?
[05:23] <holstein> truepurple: hmmm, wonder whats gotten borked then...
[05:24] <holstein> truepurple: i would probably do the usually stuff, check and apply updates, restart
[05:24] <holstein> see what happens and go from there
[05:26] <truepurple> How would I manually remount the drive?
[05:27] <holstein> truepurple: if you dont see it in sudo fdisk -l, then you cant AFAIK
[05:27] <holstein> the OS needs to see it, then you can mount it where ever you like
[05:28] <holstein> truepurple: i would reboot, then plug the stick and if you dont see it show up, open a terminal and run
[05:28] <holstein> sudo fdisk -l
[05:28] <holstein> you should see it there, something like /dev/sdb1 probably*
[05:30] <truepurple> I see a "/dev/sda1"
[05:31] <holstein> truepurple: you can pastebin the output if you like, but if you just see one...
[05:31] <holstein> /dev/sda*
[05:31] <holstein> thats going to be your hard drive
[10:32] <Klojum> 50+ people and nobody is talking, hehe...
[10:32] <Klojum> Anyone up for a VNC Server question? With several computers in my network, how do I change the VNC default listening port (5900) on Ubuntu 11.04 ..?
[12:34] <nick_> Hi :D somebody who can help me here?
[12:35] <tsimpson> you'd probably need to ask a question first, plus it's a weekend and everything...
[12:37] <duanedesign> !question
[12:37] <ubot2> Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-)
[12:38] <nick_> so, I installed ubuntu 11.04. The first thing i do is setting the screen resolution right. But now there's some kind of fuzziness (small flashing blue pixels) on my screen..
[12:39] <duanedesign> nick_: all over the screen?
[12:40] <nick_> no on certain places on my screen, it forms small lines of blue pixels that flash
[12:40] <nick_> i already rebooted, and updated my drivers
[12:42] <duanedesign> nick_: what card do you have? You can use this command:    lspci -nn | grep VGA
[12:43] <nick_> this one:        ATI Technologies Inc M92 [Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series] [1002:9553]
[12:49] <duanedesign> nick_: do you know which driver you are usiing?
[12:49] <duanedesign> looks like that card uses the open source version and not the fglrx/Catalyst
[12:52] <nick_> ok, how do i install the other driver?
[12:55] <duanedesign> i take that back:)
[12:55] <duanedesign> nick_: it does use the fglrx. sorry
[12:55] <nick_> no problem
[12:56] <nick_> so i need the open source driver?
[12:56] <duanedesign> your card can use the proprietary driver which works better
[12:57] <duanedesign> proprietary == fglrx
[12:59] <duanedesign> nick_: did you install the driver by going to "Hardware Drivers"?
[13:01] <nick_> no
[13:01] <duanedesign> so it was already installed?
[13:01] <duanedesign> What version of ubuntu?
[13:01] <nick_> 11.04
[13:04] <duanedesign> nick_: Can  you open the Dash by clicking the Ubuntu logo in the upper left and trping in the Search 'additional'. You should see an entry for additional drivers. Click to open that
[13:04] <lucky105> hello !! I m new here....unable to install gnome3..
[13:05] <duanedesign> hello lucky105
[13:06] <lucky105> hi duanedesign
[13:06] <duanedesign> lucky105: their is a PPA for installing Gnome3 but it is for Natty only
[13:06] <duanedesign> lucky105: are you running 11.04?
[13:07] <lucky105> ya !! used that ppa but it crashed unity !!!
[13:08] <lucky105> gnome3 also didnt installed
[13:08] <lucky105> I have to remove it through my kde
[13:09] <duanedesign> lucky105: you might have to run Gnome Shell
[13:23] <leoquant> sw0rdfish, what irc client do you use?
[13:25] <leoquant> if xchat set your join delay: /set irc_join_delay 10 (the default 2 sec. is too short to be ident. by services)
[13:25] <sw0rdfish> :)
[13:26] <sw0rdfish> i actually did do that a week ago
[13:26] <sw0rdfish> seems
[13:26] <sw0rdfish> no effect
[13:32] <leoquant> set your nickserv as serverpass: sw0rdfish:topsecretpassblowfish
[13:33] <leoquant> mind the:
[13:34]  * duanedesign waves at leoquant 
[13:35] <leoquant> ツ
[13:36] <leoquant> otherwise: http://askubuntu.com/questions/6332/prevent-xchat-from-trying-to-join-channels-until-i-have-been-authenticated  using the sasl script
[13:36] <leoquant>  /sasl set freenode your_nick your_password plain
[13:36] <leoquant>  /sasl save
[13:36] <leoquant>  /save
[13:48] <sw0rdfish> speaking of sasl
[13:48] <sw0rdfish> sasl has to authenticate every single time
[13:48] <sw0rdfish> i connect???
[13:48] <sw0rdfish> leoquant, ?
[13:50] <leoquant> no
  /sasl set freenode your_nick your_password plain
  /sasl save
  /save
[13:51] <leoquant> makes a  sasl directory
[13:52] <leoquant> in your ./xchat2
[13:53] <leoquant> you could experiment with it, back-up your working ./xhat2
[13:54] <leoquant> and make some noise ツ
[13:55] <leoquant> brb
[13:58] <sw0rdfish> done
[13:58] <sw0rdfish> setting up sasl
[13:59] <sw0rdfish> i can't believe it but in my script that loads with the auto command LOAD -e .xchat2/freenode
[13:59] <sw0rdfish> it tries to identify with sasl every single time i connect
[14:01] <bioterror> ofcourse it will identify you every time you connect?
[14:01] <bioterror> how else it would know that it's you
[14:03] <leoquant> hmm your ports have to change too: 7000/7070
[14:04] <leoquant>  [sw0rdfish] is using a secure connection
[14:04] <leoquant> indeed done
[14:09] <sw0rdfish> well does it do it on its own
[14:09] <sw0rdfish> should i remove the sasl commands on my auto script
[14:10] <sw0rdfish> there is the same command on my auto script
[14:10] <sw0rdfish> meaning it runs every single time i connect
[14:11] <sw0rdfish> no one told me /sasl -set should be a one-time thing, only!
[14:11] <sw0rdfish> :)
[14:11] <leoquant> ツ
[14:12] <sw0rdfish> :o how do you do that
[14:12] <sw0rdfish> i removed the /sasl command from my script and set the delay
[14:12] <sw0rdfish> to 15 seconds from 10
[14:14] <leoquant> in ./xchat you could remove the sasl set-up....but i like it very much in combin. with join-delay
[14:15] <leoquant> sasl auth is the name of it
[14:16] <leoquant> it is a very reliable set-up sasl xchat(script) with join delay, no more double joining, one uncloaked the other cloaked
[14:18] <leoquant> and indeed the sasl set-up has to be done once:)
[14:19] <rebelldoR> check
[14:19] <stlsaint> leoquant: o/
[14:19] <stlsaint> rebelldoR: roger
[14:20] <leoquant> o/

[14:38] <stlsaint> rebelldoR: the command in irssi is: /query
[14:39] <stlsaint> no, put: /query
[14:39] <stlsaint> then my username
[14:39] <stlsaint> so: /query <username> (without the <>)
[14:39] <rebelldoR> but it says /q is work as well as typing /query

[17:51] <yax51> hello
[17:52] <yax51> I'm trying to install ubuntu voa USB stick, is there a USB creator that I should be usuing other then the one suggested by ubuntu? the universal USB creator?
[17:53] <yax51> *via
[17:53] <bioterror> unetbootin
[17:53] <bioterror> or that universal
[17:53] <yax51> thanks!
[18:05] <coalwater> first, hello every body :D , then what's a good download manager lol
[18:06] <hiptobecubic> coalwater, as part of a browser or ... ?
[18:06] <coalwater> no, i want an individual program
[18:06] <bioterror> wget
[18:06] <bioterror> curl
[18:06] <hiptobecubic> wget
[18:07] <coalwater> um i wanted something with like a gui and i could track several downloads together, i use wget when im on ssh or terminal
[18:07] <coalwater> is there a gui for curl or something?
[18:07] <coalwater> like a gui that uses curl internally
[18:08] <bioterror> google?
[18:08] <bioterror> ive never had aneed for th@t
[18:08] <coalwater> and another question, is there a way to control transmission (the torrent program) with cli?
[18:08] <bioterror> that
[18:09] <coalwater> ok guess ill just use wget, im fine with that
[18:09] <bioterror> transmission-cli
[18:09] <coalwater> does that use the same settings/queues and stuff as transmission-gtk ?
[18:11] <bioterror> i dunno, im a web interface user :D
[18:11] <coalwater> what about transmission-remote, just found that, is that a remote way to use it ? (that what i was actually trying to do)
[18:12] <bioterror> i have a port forward for webui
[18:13] <hiptobecubic> coalwater, remote is for the daemon
[18:22] <coalwater> i have problems with my screen resolution, tried every thing that was in the screen help page, the xorg.conf, the xrandr , and every thing, and i couldnt get my screen get above 1027x786 or w/e
[18:22] <yax51> ok I am going through the installation process of ubuntu, and by default it asks me if I want to resize windows, but I don't want to resize windows, I want to install ubuntu and not have windows....
[18:23] <coalwater> resize windows? i dont know what that means
[18:23] <coalwater> never saw that option before
[18:23] <coalwater> o wait, maybe u only have 1 drive
[18:23] <coalwater> ubuntu needs to cut a space for it self
[18:24] <coalwater> sorry, i meant 1 partition
[18:25] <coalwater> the other option would be installing ubuntu under windows, it wont modify the partition, but it will use a file that is inside the windows partition
[18:26] <yax51> I just want to wipe windows though and just have ubuntu.....
[18:27] <coalwater> do u have some personal files that u want to keep? if not there's a simple option that tells ubuntu to use the whole hard disk, and i think there's other options to wipe other operating systems
[18:29] <bioterror> yax51, then use whole disk?
[18:29] <bioterror> or do a manual partition table ;)
[18:29] <yax51> I know thats what I thought, I am wondering if it was the ISO I downloaded from the dell website, it seems to be a ubuntu light recovery disc, and not the installation disc....
[18:30] <yax51> bioterror: I would if it gave me that option
[18:31] <coalwater> yax51, maybe it's the alternative iso
[18:31] <yax51> I'm trying to install it on my dell inspiron mini net book, and was actually directed to the dell site for the ubuntu ISO, but I'm going to try the netbook ISO from the ubuntu site
[18:31] <coalwater> it doesnt have the live cd option, just takes u to command line installation directly , does that what it do ?
[18:32] <yax51> it loads up into ubuntu, does a verification check then takes me straight to asking me to resize windows, or quit
[18:33] <yax51> I really think that it's just the ISO, that it is a recovery ISO and not an install ISO
[18:34] <yax51> well I'm going to try the netbook ISO from ubuntu and see what happens
[18:58] <yax51> woot woot!! so the netbook ISO is working!!
[19:55] <Alexander12345> hello
[21:48] <kosaidpo> hello guys
[21:49] <kosaidpo> how can i get mp4 from avi using ffmpeg ?? tnx
[21:53] <holstein> kosaidpo: http://www.catswhocode.com/blog/19-ffmpeg-commands-for-all-needs seem relevant
[21:54] <kosaidpo> i already check that it doesnt work for me the mp4 i want are for phone holstein tnx
[21:55] <holstein> kosaidpo: probably need to look for a specific container that your phone can deal with then
[21:55] <kosaidpo> holstein: i have sumsang sgh-f490v ;]
[21:56] <holstein> kosaidpo: i dont, so you probaly will need to do some research :/
[21:56] <kosaidpo> holstein: okies tnx
[21:56] <holstein> i could stab in the dark, but without the unit to test with, id just be guessing...
[21:57] <holstein> The phone has a multiple video format file support - WMV, MPEG4, H.263
[21:57] <holstein> i would just try a differnt container
