| Corey | ecritejr: Yay. | 03:15 |
| ecritejr | do i still need to email that person you told me to? | 03:15 |
| Corey | ecritejr: Urm... I don't recall telling you to email anyone? | 03:16 |
| ecritejr | yes kline@freenode.net | 03:16 |
| Corey | ecritejr: That was for another user. | 03:17 |
| ecritejr | Ohhhh hahahaha | 03:17 |
| ecritejr | maybe you might know off the top of your head | 03:17 |
| ecritejr | When I log into Ubuntu regular desktop I have no taskbar or status bar | 03:18 |
| ecritejr | just 4 icons i created and none of the keyboard shortcuts work except for termanal | 03:19 |
| Corey | ecritejr: I'd ask in #ubuntu | 03:19 |
| Corey | ecritejr: Except you have to use a real IRC client instead of the web gateway to ask there. | 03:19 |

| clarkthehardy910 | Is there a way to get the grub prompt right after a fresh wubi.exe install on an XP machine? I just installed Unity and i'm running into Out of Range error on my dated monitor, immediately after choosing Ubuntu on the boot menu. | 05:53 |
| bioterror | no idea about the wubi | 05:58 |
| clarkthehardy910 | Can a dual booting 11.04 (installed from wubie.exe) and XP access safemode? I've tried what the posts suggested: shift and esc, but no avail. I just need to change Ubuntu's default refresh rates for my old monitor to display it. | 06:05 |

| davidhurwich_ | hello everyone | 18:31 |
| Corey | Hello. | 18:32 |
| davidhurwich_ | i have a very newbie question | 18:32 |
| davidhurwich_ | i updated to 11.04 | 18:33 |
| davidhurwich_ | but under my networking i cant seem to find local wireless networks anymore | 18:33 |
| davidhurwich_ | i used to be able to under 10.04 | 18:33 |
| davidhurwich_ | do i need to install a driver or something of that nature? | 18:34 |
| escott | davidhurwich_, possible, what kind of wireless do you have? | 18:34 |
| davidhurwich_ | you mean the router? | 18:34 |
| escott | davidhurwich_, no the card. run lspci in your terminal | 18:35 |
| davidhurwich_ | am i looking for the the network controller? | 18:36 |
| davidhurwich_ | or SMbus? | 18:38 |
| escott | davidhurwich_, yes you could also try sudo lshw -c network | 18:38 |
| escott | davidhurwich_, would give you a bit less to scan through | 18:38 |
| davidhurwich_ | hold on, gtg any answer a phone call, appreciate your help | 18:39 |
| davidhurwich_ | hi escott im back | 18:52 |
| davidhurwich_ | it says -network unclaimed | 18:52 |
| davidhurwich_ | network controller | 18:53 |
| davidhurwich_ | BCM4311 80.211b/g | 18:53 |
| escott | davidhurwich_, so thats broadcom | 18:53 |
| escott | !broadcom | 18:53 |
| ubot2 | Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 18:53 |
| davidhurwich_ | thanks | 18:54 |
| escott | davidhurwich_, follow that if those drivers are already installed check rfkill | 18:54 |
| davidhurwich_ | how'se does one get to the system option on 11.04 | 18:58 |
| davidhurwich_ | it seems hidden unlike the old 10.04 | 18:58 |
| escott | davidhurwich_, just go to the upper left corner and type in keywords | 18:58 |
| escott | davidhurwich_, the applications no longer have places you just find them by keyword which can be its purpose or part of its name or ... | 18:59 |
| davidhurwich_ | so im under the driver section of the hardware | 19:01 |
| davidhurwich_ | it says me driver is installed and running | 19:01 |
| davidhurwich_ | then why cant my computer detect wireless networks? :( sad panda | 19:04 |
| escott | davidhurwich_, run rfkill list | 19:06 |
| davidhurwich_ | it says Wireless Lan | 19:06 |
| davidhurwich_ | soft blocked: no | 19:06 |
| davidhurwich_ | hard blocked: no | 19:06 |
| escott | ok. and what happens when you click on the network icon in the upper right | 19:08 |
| davidhurwich_ | there is an option for my ethernet cable | 19:08 |
| davidhurwich_ | but it does not pick up wireless hosts like it use too under 10.04 | 19:09 |
| escott | davidhurwich_, !paste the output of iwconfig | 19:10 |
| davidhurwich_ | lo - no wireless extensions | 19:12 |
| davidhurwich_ | eth0 - no wireless extensions | 19:12 |
| escott | davidhurwich_, it doesnt mention wlan0? thats very confusing. I would reinstall the broadcom drivers | 19:14 |
| escott | im not sure what happened, and im not too familiar with broadcom. you might see if someone has had the same problem on #ubuntu | 19:14 |
| davidhurwich_ | should i remove it through the drivers menu under system > driver first? | 19:15 |
| escott | probably a good idea | 19:16 |
| davidhurwich_ | thanks for your help escott | 19:16 |
| davidhurwich_ | i appreciate it | 19:16 |
| escott | when you do a release upgrade you get a different kernel and maybe there is something incompatible there. reinstalling drivers is sometimes necessary | 19:17 |
| davidhurwich_ | sounds good | 19:17 |
| davidhurwich_ | should i reinstall the driver through the system>driver menu> | 19:21 |
| davidhurwich_ | ? | 19:21 |
| tigerplug292 | greetings | 20:20 |
| tigerplug292 | I am having an issue. Running 11.04, resized the partition using gparted and booted & used my system since. | 20:26 |
| tigerplug292 | then tried installing Windows XP on the newly created partition, the install failed but now I can't boot to windows - I get "no bootable device" or similar | 20:26 |
| tigerplug292 | so now I'm on live 7.10 , is it possible to repair from this liveCD? | 20:26 |
| celthunder | tigerplug292: yeah should be | 20:27 |
| escott | yes follow the chroot method | 20:27 |
| escott | !grub | tigerplug292 | 20:27 |
| ubot2 | tigerplug292: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) | 20:27 |
| celthunder | tigerplug292: make a chroot in the livecd, then modprobe dm-mod;grub_bios-install --boot-directory=/boot --no-floppy --recheck /dev/sda | 20:28 |
| celthunder | tigerplug292: obviously change /dev/sda to the mbr you wnat grub on | 20:28 |
| celthunder | tigerplug292: that's also assuming bios machine not eufi or whatever | 20:29 |
| celthunder | escott: i miss anything there? | 20:30 |
| escott | celthunder, tigerplug292 the bind mounts | 20:32 |
| escott | which is part of the whole chroot process | 20:33 |
| escott | i think thats always the most confusing to people but thats it | 20:33 |
| celthunder | escott: i said make a chroot | 20:33 |
| celthunder | mount /dev/sda<rootpartition>/ /tmp | 20:33 |
| escott | celthunder, why use grub_bios-install instead of grub-install | 20:33 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| escott | celthunder, have we confirmed what version of grub tigerplug292 is using | 20:34 |
| celthunder | escott: he said 2 | 20:34 |
| celthunder | but the livecd has legacy so he can't just grub root (hd0,0) setup(hd0,0) | 20:34 |
| celthunder | well he could...but he would be stuck unable to boot again | 20:35 |
| celthunder | mount /dev/sda<bootpartition> /tmp/boot | 20:35 |
| escott | celthunder, thats why he should use the chroot, that way he is using his installed systems version of grub-utils | 20:36 |
| celthunder | mount -t proc proc /tmp/proc | 20:36 |
| escott | which is grub2 | 20:36 |
| celthunder | escott: i said use a chroot i think you missd that part...i'm typing out the chroot cmmands now | 20:36 |
| celthunder | mount -t sysfs sys /tmp/sys | 20:36 |
| celthunder | mount -o bind /dev /tmp/dev | 20:36 |
| celthunder | chroot /tmp /bin/bash | 20:36 |
| celthunder | assuming of course he has a 64 bit /64 bit or 32/32 bit livecd/install | 20:37 |
| celthunder | if not then it gets harder... | 20:37 |
| celthunder | well a 54 bit livecd on a 32 bit install would be alright | 20:37 |
| celthunder | cause he could juse add the librariees to the livecd as needed | 20:37 |
| celthunder | and that shouldn't be necessary if his processor doesn't suck | 20:38 |
| celthunder | tigerplug292: how's it going | 20:38 |
| * celthunder stops talking to himself | 20:39 | |
| tigerplug292 | celthunder: escott sorry | 20:39 |
| tigerplug292 | celthunder: escott so I have downloaded the 11.04 ISO | 20:39 |
| tigerplug292 | and I have a USB flash drive | 20:40 |
| tigerplug292 | but wondering how i can make is bootable while on the LiveCD? | 20:40 |
| escott | tigerplug292, ok... if you want you could do that. its not strictly necessary, but maybe easier if the chroot makes you uncomfortable | 20:40 |
| celthunder | tigerplug292: also for your usb question dd if=<iso> of=/dev/<usbdev> | 20:41 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: well - I'll chance anything :-D but I'm not so great on the CLI | 20:41 |
| celthunder | tigerplug292: don't use a partition just the device itself should work fine (aka /dev/sdb) | 20:41 |
| escott | tigerplug292, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#ChRoot | 20:41 |
| tigerplug292 | checking | 20:41 |
| escott | its up to you, whatever method feels most comfortable to you | 20:41 |
| celthunder | escott: i just typed it all out in here... | 20:42 |
| celthunder | or at least if he's got a normal grub install that's all he should have to do | 20:42 |
| tigerplug292 | celthunder: escott guessing SDA5? http://pastebin.com/cLvYFy7T | 20:43 |
| escott | tigerplug292, yes you would chroot into sda5 and then grub-install onto /dev/sda | 20:44 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: well it wont mount - root@ubuntu:~/Desktop# sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt/ | 20:44 |
| tigerplug292 | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda5, | 20:44 |
| tigerplug292 | missing codepage or helper program, or other error | 20:44 |
| tigerplug292 | In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try | 20:44 |
| tigerplug292 | dmesg | tail or so | 20:44 |
| Dan1981 | Hello is this the place to get beginners noobie help with ubuntu? :) | 20:45 |
| escott | tigerplug292, run sudo fsck /dev/sda5 | 20:45 |
| bioterror | Dan1981, correct place | 20:45 |
| escott | tigerplug292, you actually dont need the sudo because you are already root | 20:45 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: guessing thats like a chkdsk equiv? | 20:45 |
| escott | tigerplug292, yes | 20:46 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: "fsck.ext3: Filesystem has unsupported feature(s) while trying to open /dev/sda5 | 20:46 |
| tigerplug292 | " | 20:46 |
| escott | ahhh forgot how old that livecd was | 20:46 |
| escott | tigerplug292, you need a new livecd sorry | 20:46 |
| escott | tigerplug292, your partition is ext4 which is not supported by 7.10 livecd | 20:47 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: well I have the iso, and a usb drive, its possible to create bootable usb from CLI? | 20:47 |
| tigerplug292 | ah I see | 20:47 |
| tigerplug292 | well - thanks for your help so far. I think I'll have to go try get booting from a current image | 20:47 |
| bioterror | tigerplug292, grab arch linux's iso | 20:47 |
| escott | tigerplug292, yes http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 20:47 |
| bioterror | tigerplug292, you can dd it | 20:47 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: I have it downloaded | 20:47 |
| escott | tigerplug292, it has instructions on creating a bootable usb | 20:48 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: ah sorry , let me look again | 20:48 |
| Dan1981 | Okies.. very new ubuntu user here ( loving linux though ) i'm looking for someone to help me run my animated desktop at start? Can anybody help? i'm using 11.04 :) | 20:49 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: nope, dont have that feature on 7.10 | 20:49 |
| escott | tigerplug292, although that may not work for you either because the 7.10 install cd is older than the startup disk creator | 20:49 |
| tigerplug292 | bioterror - why do you recommend that? | 20:49 |
| escott | tigerplug292, maybe rescue linux has a good way to create a usb stick | 20:49 |
| bioterror | tigerplug292, as I said, you can use dd | 20:49 |
| tigerplug292 | bioterror: dd ? | 20:49 |
| escott | tigerplug292, try http://www.sysresccd.org/Sysresccd-manual-en_How_to_install_SystemRescueCd_on_an_USB-stick | 20:49 |
| kristian-aalborg | hi all | 20:50 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: I found a cd lying around labelled Ubuntu - gonna try boot from it and hope its 10.x | 20:50 |
| bioterror | but I'm not taking part in this now | 20:50 |
| kristian-aalborg | how do I disable the output from a program run in the terminal? | 20:50 |
| bioterror | Dan1981, what you had in your mind? | 20:50 |
| tigerplug292 | brb | 20:51 |
| kristian-aalborg | I tried foo > dev/null but that is not enough | 20:51 |
| bioterror | kristian-aalborg, if it has -q or -quiet variable, use it | 20:51 |
| kristian-aalborg | bioterror, ah, yes... should have thought of that | 20:51 |
| Dan1981 | i managed to get a programme call xwinwrap installed on my linux.. it makes a animated background.. i've managed to get the a-desk script to run at start but i cant get it to choose a video automatically,.. FYI heres a link to what i'm talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIbJ5S3PUJc | 20:52 |
| Dan1981 | Help!! :) | 20:53 |
| Dan1981 | I think i need to create a script but havent the foggiest how to even start with creating one .. | 20:54 |
| bioterror | sorry but I've not seen anything that horrible for a while :D | 20:55 |
| Dan1981 | horrible? :( | 20:57 |
| kristian-aalborg | Dan1981, there's a desktop environment called enlightenment that will do that | 20:57 |
| escott | Dan1981, the hardest part of that is usually to get nautilus out of the way to even draw on the root desktop. have you been successful at that | 20:58 |
| bioterror | I bet all those butterflys will make concentrating difficult, plus that following magic cursor starts to annoy in about an hour or two | 20:58 |
| Dan1981 | i right click on desktop and go run script and select a-desk then i manually choose what video i want.. at startup i managed to get a-desk to run at start ( i basically browsed to the a-desk icon ) but i would love for it to automatically choose one of my videos :(# | 20:59 |
| kristian-aalborg | Dan1981, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPauJXNUPrI&feature=related | 21:00 |
| escott | Dan1981, well if you have a command that will play a video, just create a folder called "bin" in you home directory, then create a file called desktop_movie.sh | 21:00 |
| kristian-aalborg | also, Dan1981 - are you a "new" user? | 21:00 |
| escott | and in that file say #!/bin/bash and on the next line whatever the command you wnat | 21:01 |
| bioterror | plus they want money for that adesk | 21:01 |
| escott | Dan1981, finally save that file and run chmod +x ~/bin/desktop_movie.sh | 21:01 |
| escott | Dan1981, and add that script to your gnome-session | 21:01 |
| Dan1981 | whoa.. well confused here at the moment.. so i got to my home folder and right click and create a folder called 'bin' first? | 21:02 |
| Dan1981 | *go | 21:02 |
| escott | Dan1981, yes good practice is for all your scripts to go in that folder | 21:03 |
| Dan1981 | Okies done.. created folder called bin | 21:03 |
| escott | Dan1981, then create a text file | 21:03 |
| bioterror | escott, why not /usr/local/bin/ ? | 21:03 |
| escott | bioterror, because root owns that | 21:04 |
| Dan1981 | I sthat right click and choose create document? | 21:04 |
| escott | Dan1981, yes a text document | 21:04 |
| Dan1981 | okies a black piece of paper sort of thing has appeared | 21:05 |
| escott | first line is called the shebang "#!/bin/bash" | 21:05 |
| escott | the second line is whatever command you use to get adesk to play the video you want | 21:05 |
| Dan1981 | so i type in "#!/bin/bash" | 21:06 |
| escott | just the part inside the quotes not the quotes themselves | 21:06 |
| Dan1981 | lol ok.. | 21:06 |
| Dan1981 | the sceond line i didnt use any command, i browsed the startup manager and found the a-desk script? is there a way i can type that? | 21:07 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: I found a 9.x cd, booted from it and followed the instructions | 21:08 |
| escott | Dan1981, if you know the path use the full path /whatever/the/path/was/to/adesk | 21:08 |
| tigerplug292 | but, when I boot now I just get a "grub_sh" prompt - if that makes any sense? | 21:08 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: but Now I have usbcreator on this live image - so gonna create bootable natty | 21:08 |
| escott | tigerplug292, ok but if the chroot was successful then you shouldnt need to worry | 21:09 |
| escott | tigerplug292, did you get any errors during the chroot? | 21:09 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: well - it accepted the commands but didn't work | 21:09 |
| tigerplug292 | let me step through it again right now | 21:09 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: so I've mounted fine, now running sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda5 ? | 21:11 |
| escott | tigerplug292, don't use --root-directory inside the chroot | 21:12 |
| escott | tigerplug292, a couple things are off with that | 21:12 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: I dont get ya - can you tell me the command? s | 21:12 |
| escott | tigerplug292, so you have the chroot right? and can you confirm it is correct. check that ls /home shows your files and not the livecd | 21:12 |
| tigerplug292 | so if I cd /mnt | 21:12 |
| tigerplug292 | then ls -la | 21:12 |
| tigerplug292 | I can see the contents of my disk | 21:13 |
| escott | tigerplug292, no the chroot is only valid for one terminal session, when you close the terminal it fails | 21:13 |
| escott | tigerplug292, so open a terminal | 21:13 |
| tigerplug292 | okay, im not sure I understand | 21:13 |
| tigerplug292 | okay open | 21:13 |
| tigerplug292 | and then ? | 21:13 |
| escott | tigerplug292, you can skip th mount commands because those have been done | 21:13 |
| tigerplug292 | okay | 21:13 |
| escott | tigerplug292, run sudo chroot /mnt | 21:13 |
| escott | tigerplug292, then "ls /home" and see if it shows your folder | 21:14 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: okay - gotcha - I can see my stuff in there | 21:14 |
| tigerplug292 | now | 21:14 |
| escott | tigerplug292, run "grub-install /dev/sda" | 21:14 |
| escott | tigerplug292, not /dev/sda5 just /dev/sda | 21:14 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: " /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot find a device for /boot/grub (is /dev mounted?)." | 21:15 |
| escott | tigerplug292, open a new terminal | 21:15 |
| tigerplug292 | okay | 21:15 |
| escott | tigerplug292, in the new terminal run "sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev" | 21:15 |
| escott | tigerplug292, then go back to the other terminal and try again | 21:15 |
| tigerplug292 | okay, waiting for it to execute | 21:16 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: should take some time? | 21:16 |
| tigerplug292 | for the grub-install that is? | 21:17 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: okay - installation finished with no errors | 21:17 |
| tigerplug292 | so thats it? | 21:17 |
| tigerplug292 | :-) | 21:17 |
| escott | tigerplug292, a few seconds maybe | 21:17 |
| escott | tigerplug292, then try rebooting | 21:17 |
| tigerplug292 | escott: thanks gonna try now | 21:17 |
| tigerplug292 | brb | 21:17 |
| tigerplug292 | I hope! :-D | 21:17 |
| tigerplug292 | escott, that did the job - thanks so much! | 21:23 |
| Dan1981 | Escott are you still here.. my internet went down and i had to restart! :( | 21:25 |
| tigerplug292 | whats the best way to dual boot XP with Ubuntu installed first? | 21:29 |
| tigerplug292 | I have 10GB of unallocated space | 21:29 |
| bioterror | tigerplug292, XP first, then Ubuntu | 21:29 |
| tigerplug292 | bioterror, a MUST ? | 21:29 |
| tigerplug292 | :-( | 21:29 |
| bioterror | tigerplug292, it's a suggested and less painless way | 21:30 |
| bioterror | as you noticed | 21:30 |
| escott | tigerplug292, one problem may be that your entire drive is extended | 21:30 |
| tigerplug292 | escott, well I did use gparted to shrink the ext | 21:30 |
| escott | windows may not like being installed on a an extended partition | 21:30 |
| tigerplug292 | escott, so there should be 10GB unallocated | 21:30 |
| tigerplug292 | that I can format NTFS | 21:30 |
| tigerplug292 | damn windows - I dont even want it - a REQUIREMENT for some software that I have to run | 21:31 |
| tigerplug292 | I think I'll go with virtualbox | 21:31 |
| Dan1981 | escott are you busy? | 21:31 |
| escott | Dan1981, go ahead | 21:32 |

| tenach | Is there a way to upgrade a machine from 10.04 to 11.04 without having to install 10.10? | 22:04 |
| tenach | I do not have the luxury to back up the home dir and other settings, otherwise I'd do a fresh install. | 22:05 |
| escott | tenach, not a supported way | 22:07 |
| tenach | escott: hm, okay. | 22:07 |
| tenach | What would be an effective way to back up a user's files/ | 22:07 |
| tenach | This is a single-user laptop that I'm upgrading. | 22:07 |
| tenach | I thought that just tarballing the /home/user/ dir, but am not sure if that's the best. | 22:08 |
| escott | tenach, sure tarball or rsync to another machine | 22:09 |
| tenach | Ah, okay. | 22:09 |
| tenach | :D | 22:09 |
| tenach | Thank you escott | 22:09 |
| tenach | I've not had to do it this way before. | 22:09 |
| raubvogel | If you start screen and then run minicom inside screen, how to you quit minicom? | 22:41 |
| bioterror | ctrl+z q | 22:43 |
| bioterror | or what was it | 22:43 |
| bioterror | have not used minicom for a while | 22:43 |
| Unit193 | raubvogel: You could just kill the window with Ctrl+a k | 22:45 |
| bioterror | not suggesting | 22:46 |
| raubvogel | Unit193, if I kill the window, would the device still being used by the usb-to-serial cable be freed? | 22:46 |
| Unit193 | Might be best to hangup first or | 22:46 |
| bioterror | yes | 22:46 |
| bioterror | just a moment | 22:47 |
| Unit193 | raubvogel: You should be able to change the keys (I know I can...) | 22:47 |
| bioterror | checking minicom | 22:47 |
| bioterror | I gave my all suns agaway | 22:47 |
| bioterror | away | 22:47 |
| bioterror | so I dont need terminal any more :D | 22:47 |
| raubvogel | Can I change keys from within screen? | 22:47 |
| Unit193 | Start it with -s option | 22:48 |
| raubvogel | Unit193, as in screen -rs? | 22:49 |
| bioterror | hmmm | 22:49 |
| bioterror | ctrl-a x | 22:49 |
| bioterror | it will reset | 22:49 |
| raubvogel | ctrl-a x seems to lock the screen session and asks for a password | 22:50 |
| Unit193 | minicom -s (sudo if you want to change the default) | 22:50 |
| bioterror | ha | 22:50 |
| bioterror | raubvogel, is there a reason why you need to run it under screen? | 22:50 |
| zkriesse | CTRL a k lol that's hilarious, Ak as in ak47 :P | 22:51 |
| raubvogel | bioterror, not really. I did not realize I could connect to the serial port using screen | 22:51 |
| raubvogel | so using minicom here was an uneeded step | 22:51 |
| bioterror | minicom is good for serial connections | 22:51 |
| raubvogel | But screen can do that too | 22:52 |
| raubvogel | so I can have one session connected to the serial device (in my case a seagate dockstar or a router) while the other sessions are doing something else | 22:52 |
| jimmie_ | Does anyone know how I can stop my pendrives appearing in the unity bar? | 23:09 |
| holstein | jimmie_: this is relevant | 23:24 |
| holstein | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/723865 | 23:24 |
| ubot2 | Ubuntu bug 723865 in unity-2d "When a new storage device is inserted it should only appear in the Launcher." [Low,Confirmed] | 23:24 |
| holstein | AFAIK, you cant customize unity much yet, like hiding mounted volumes | 23:24 |
| holstein | it'll come though | 23:24 |
| davidhurwich__ | hello everyone | 23:32 |
