| Sekm | how do i fully qualify a path that is like, ~/.ssh/id_dsa ? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| wereveal | Sekm: ~ refers to your home directory… cd ~ then pwd to get full path to it | 00:03 |
| Sekm | oh great, thankyou | 00:04 |
| wereveal | and some might say ~/.ssh/id_dsa is a fully qualified path | 00:05 |
| Sekm | not the program i'm using wereveal.. | 00:05 |
| wereveal | hehe, yeah, only on the cli basically | 00:06 |

| AlphaPsi | When I set the windows partition to mount /windows , will it slow it down? Just setting it to mount /windows will allow me to access the file within it correct? Any other things I need to know about doing that? | 03:45 |
| holstein | AlphaPsi: that should do it | 03:46 |
| holstein | you might need to mess with permissions to write there, but i forget | 03:46 |
| AlphaPsi | And Windows can by default access the other partitions right? | 03:47 |
| holstein | AlphaPsi: did you go with a wubi? | 03:47 |
| holstein | or is this a native install | 03:47 |
| holstein | ? | 03:47 |
| AlphaPsi | native install | 03:47 |
| holstein | you can try it... i dont think windows can see ext partitions out of the box | 03:47 |
| holstein | but im sure there are tools for that | 03:47 |
| AlphaPsi | Oh oh well, thats okay if it didn't. But would setting it to mount slow down ubuntu ? Just curious | 03:48 |
| holstein | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-read-ext3ext4-linux-partition-from-windows-7.html | 03:48 |
| holstein | AlphaPsi: in theory, if you wanted it to auto mount at boot, it might take longer to boot.. | 03:49 |
| holstein | other than that, i dont know how you would notice | 03:49 |
| holstein | speed-wise | 03:49 |
| AlphaPsi | So I probably should just set it /windows ? | 03:50 |
| AlphaPsi | I probably won't even notice the difference if I did than if I didn't, right? | 03:50 |
| holstein | AlphaPsi: i would give it some thought... im not dual booting | 03:50 |
| holstein | and you dont want to break anything in your windows partition | 03:50 |
| AlphaPsi | Hmm true, is there anyone else with experience with this? | 03:51 |
| holstein | AlphaPsi: i cant imagine how having a drive mounted or not would effect the speed of the OS | 03:51 |
| holstein | AlphaPsi: sure... i mean, i have one box set up to dual boot | 03:51 |
| holstein | BUT, i havent used windows on it | 03:51 |
| holstein | so im not going to do that next time | 03:51 |
| AlphaPsi | My windows partition is pretty big I think | 03:51 |
| holstein | i mean... do you need it? | 03:51 |
| AlphaPsi | I dont think so | 03:52 |
| AlphaPsi | probably not | 03:52 |
| holstein | i think most guys have a windows OS part, a linux OS part, and some kind of comfortable shared partition | 03:52 |
| holstein | assuming you need that | 03:52 |
| AlphaPsi | A shared partition? | 03:53 |
| AlphaPsi | How would I set that up? | 03:53 |
| holstein | AlphaPsi: lots of ways | 03:53 |
| holstein | something that both OS's use.. like a FAT32 partition that both OS's boot at login | 03:53 |
| holstein | then, you dont have to mount the windows OS partition | 03:54 |
| holstein | *not that theres anything wrong with that | 03:54 |
| holstein | i say, just use what you got, and see what you need | 03:54 |
| AlphaPsi | Hmm I /can/ make it so its mounted later on after I install right? | 03:54 |
| holstein | you can always just pop in nautilus and navigate that windows partition for a file real quick | 03:54 |
| holstein | AlphaPsi: you can make if do literally whatever you want :) | 03:55 |
| holstein | *within reason | 03:55 |
| AlphaPsi | haha alright, but how easy would making the partition mounted? | 03:55 |
| holstein | AlphaPsi: at boot? | 03:55 |
| holstein | you edit a file | 03:55 |
| AlphaPsi | Wait | 03:56 |
| AlphaPsi | What do you mean at boot? I don't think I'm understanding | 03:56 |
| AlphaPsi | I'm very new to this in general | 03:56 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab | 03:56 |
| holstein | AlphaPsi: when you log into ubuntu, the windows partition is mounted where ever you want it mounted | 03:56 |
| holstein | automatically.. at boot | 03:56 |
| AlphaPsi | so I can literally set it up so its mounted at /ldjkgaskdhgakjsdhgakshdgkh if I wanted to? | 03:57 |
| holstein | sure | 03:57 |
| AlphaPsi | Hmm I probably won't set it mounted for now | 03:58 |
| AlphaPsi | I don't think I would even use it really | 03:58 |
| holstein | i set it up once, just to see it in action | 03:58 |
| holstein | i didnt use it at all though | 03:58 |
| holstein | i have an audio production machine that mounts an extra internal drive i use to record audio onto | 03:59 |
| holstein | that gets mounted at boot to ~/audio | 03:59 |
| holstein | or ~/tracker ? something like that | 03:59 |
| AlphaPsi | extra internal drive as in a partition? | 03:59 |
| AlphaPsi | or? | 03:59 |
| holstein | its just one big partition on there, yeah | 04:00 |
| AlphaPsi | Meh I don't think I even have files of importance/interest in the windows partition | 04:01 |
| AlphaPsi | So I won't haha | 04:01 |
| AlphaPsi | Hmm although I may make a shared partition | 04:01 |
| AlphaPsi | Whats the difference with FAT32 and Ext4? | 04:02 |
| holstein | well, if you are linux only, you want ext4 (arguably) | 04:02 |
| holstein | if not, then FAT32 is actually not a bad file system that mac win and lin can use with decent support all around | 04:03 |
| holstein | theres a limit to filesize with FAT32 i think | 04:03 |
| holstein | something big though... | 04:03 |
| * holstein looking | 04:03 | |
| holstein | http://www.genie9.com/support/kb/KnowledgeArticle.aspx?KBID=113+ | 04:04 |
| holstein | 4GB's is the limit | 04:04 |
| holstein | ntfs is not bad, but OSX doesnt seem to like it | 04:04 |
| holstein | at least thats been my finding | 04:04 |
| AlphaPsi | I don't think I'll hit that problem. Although I'm thinking of making a maybe 10GB partition thats shared, then the rest is my /home | 04:05 |
| AlphaPsi | is that a good idea? | 04:05 |
| holstein | AlphaPsi: you can always do ext, and use ext2read from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/ | 04:05 |
| holstein | AlphaPsi: really depends on what you need | 04:06 |
| holstein | i say, keep your data backed up, and your options open | 04:06 |
| holstein | try and live in it for a while, and see what you really want/need | 04:06 |
| AlphaPsi | Hmm alright I think I'm not going to make a shared partition nor mount the windows, I probably won't even use it heh | 04:07 |
| AlphaPsi | Haha, alright thanks holstein :) I'm going to do a native install now I guess | 04:08 |
| seidos | anyone know how to run tuxtype in a window? | 05:23 |

| selynda | ok so I was trying to play battle for wesnoth and when I run the program, it changes the screen resolution, then crashes, but I don't see the main title screen or anything, just my desktop, any ideas on what would cause this or even how to fix it? | 05:52 |
| holstein | selynda: my guess would be the graphics driver | 05:53 |
| holstein | selynda: you can try starting the game from the terminal | 05:54 |
| holstein | see if you get any helpful error information | 05:54 |
| selynda | good idea, am reinstalling right now, to see if that will do anything to | 05:57 |
| holstein | selynda: you can try stepping a version up or down on wesnoth | 05:58 |
| selynda | true, but 1.8 was working fine just a few days ago | 05:59 |
| holstein | selynda: OH.. you didnt say that | 05:59 |
| holstein | so, it was working fine? | 05:59 |
| selynda | soeey, yes it WAS working fine, now not so much | 06:01 |
| selynda | *sorry | 06:01 |
| holstein | selynda: you did an update, i assume? | 06:01 |
| holstein | and things went sour? | 06:01 |
| selynda | I did a system update yes | 06:01 |
| holstein | its really easy to go and boot into an older kernel | 06:01 |
| holstein | some other things are more challenging to troubleshoot | 06:02 |
| holstein | try and see what exactly got updated last upgrad | 06:02 |
| holstein | e | 06:02 |
| holstein | the temporary fix'll be downgrading whatever broke it | 06:02 |
| holstein | you'd need to find/make a bug report, and start pestering the proper folk | 06:03 |
| selynda_ | how do I see a history of what was updated? | 06:05 |
| holstein | selynda_: check in synaptic | 06:06 |
| holstein | file - history | 06:06 |
| selynda_ | http://pastebin.com/NMgg6hGE | 06:10 |
| holstein | selynda_: hey, that looks easy enough :) | 06:10 |
| selynda_ | please tell me you're being sarcastic :P because I can't tell what it would be.... | 06:12 |
| holstein | selynda_: i was thinking you'd get a list of like 100+ packages | 06:12 |
| holstein | my vote is one of the python updates | 06:13 |
| selynda_ | that would make sense..... | 06:13 |
| selynda_ | well I could try to reinstall video drivers, but I can't remember the command line to see which video driver/cards are installed | 06:14 |
| holstein | you could try something like https://launchpad.net/~vincent-c/+archive/wesnoth as well | 06:15 |
| holstein | selynda_: nah, i might be wrong, but i dont think its going to be the graphics driver now that you've sais it used to work fine | 06:15 |
| selynda_ | ok | 06:16 |
| holstein | im out... good luck :) | 06:19 |
| selynda_ | this is strange.... | 06:20 |
| selynda_ | http://pastebin.com/5x5qNnSd | 06:20 |
| selynda_ | after I press "y" to install it aborts.... | 06:20 |
| selynda_ | nevermind, it has to be a "Y" as opposed to a "y"..... | 06:22 |

| head_victim | She knocked it up as a birthday present for me and framed it. It sits here on my desk in the study. | 09:52 |
| kristian-aalborg | head_victim, is it a heavy program to run? I see that it starts with a "K"... | 10:07 |
| head_victim | I'm not sure, I've only used it on a quad core with 10GB of ram so it didn't really even notice the "load" | 10:08 |
| head_victim | So it might be heavy or it might be extremely light sorry | 10:08 |
| kristian-aalborg | np, I'll figure it out | 10:09 |
| kristian-aalborg | I see there's a few pieces of software that will do this... I guess I'll find something light | 10:10 |
| head_victim | That's the main one in the repos, the others you'll need to manually install or add ppa's for. | 10:20 |
| kristian-aalborg | head_victim, yes, I'll figure that out | 10:44 |

| helios91 | @Abhijit, umm..there doesn't seem to be any solutions there? | 17:59 |
| helios91 | plz forgive me I'm a newbie at ubuntu | 18:00 |
| Abhijit | ok | 18:02 |
| Abhijit | helios91, http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1719572.html | 18:02 |
| helios91 | @abhijit, yea I looked at it before coming here. Do you know how I can 'do a clean install of 11.04 on the root partition of 10.10'? | 18:03 |
| helios91 | and thanks a lot for replying :) | 18:03 |
| Abhijit | helios91, just a regular install and select the root partition of 10.10 to be root partition of 11.04 tahts it | 18:05 |
| helios91 | so like, can you tell me what to do now? as in I'm inside a previous version of ubuntu after 11.04 failed to boot. | 18:06 |
| helios91 | do you mean insert the 10.10 CD? | 18:06 |
| helios91 | and do the regular installation? | 18:06 |
| Abhijit | nope | 18:07 |
| Abhijit | insert 11.04 cd and just do the regular steps | 18:07 |
| helios91 | I don't have the CD for that as I used the upgrade manager to upgrade to 11.04 | 18:07 |
| helios91 | What can I do from here? | 18:07 |
| helios91 | Please refer to that thread you gave me..as I think it has the solution but I couldn't interpret it | 18:08 |
| Abhijit | cd of 11.04 is a must for clean install of 11.04 | 18:09 |
| helios91 | ah..so I guess I need to download it from ubuntu website and burn it? | 18:10 |
| helios91 | or maybe create a usb from the iso image? | 18:10 |
| Abhijit | yeah | 18:10 |
| Abhijit | you can create usb | 18:10 |
| helios91 | alright man, thanks a lot for the help. Much appreciated! | 18:11 |

| s-fox | Hello. | 19:27 |
| gillyman | i have my buddys computer, and it will not boot past the HP start up screen, can i do a system recovery with out the back up disks | 19:37 |
| gillyman | can one one help me please | 19:38 |
| holstein | gillyman: unfortunately, without being in front of the machine, its challenging to say what you can and cant do | 19:38 |
| gillyman | what i mean is can i do the system recov | 19:39 |
| holstein | i can say, if you are not familiar with recovery techniques, and you are trying to recover lost data, you can make the issue worse | 19:39 |
| holstein | gillyman: you mean *can* ? like, do you have the option to? | 19:39 |
| holstein | sure | 19:39 |
| gillyman | im just trying to get his computer going again | 19:39 |
| holstein | if its hanging at the boot screen, it could be hardware | 19:40 |
| gillyman | thats why im asking im trying to learn how to do all of this stuff | 19:40 |
| holstein | what i usually do is use an ubuntu live CD | 19:40 |
| gillyman | i tryed that once and thats want is was doing | 19:40 |
| holstein | i take the hard drive out, or unplug it... and see if i can get a live CD to boot | 19:40 |
| gillyman | i can get knoppics to boot | 19:41 |
| holstein | gillyman: if you cant get the machine to boot the live CD, then, the issue has *nothing* to do with the current hard drive, or whats on it | 19:41 |
| gillyman | i can get it to do the live boot, just not from the hard drive | 19:41 |
| holstein | gillyman: from that knoppix live boot, i would want to start testing | 19:41 |
| gillyman | ok | 19:42 |
| coalwater | i need help to fix my grub | 20:04 |
| coalwater | anyone's around | 20:04 |
| coalwater | i got thru the grub rescue and booted, now i want to save the settings ,but i dont know how or where | 20:04 |
| Unit193 | coalwater: I'm not exactly sure what you are looking for, but is it this? /etc/default/grub | 20:06 |
| coalwater | ill check | 20:08 |
| coalwater | Unit193, well, i want something that makes me choose which hda it shoulaccess | 20:11 |
| coalwater | should access* | 20:11 |
| coalwater | i think it uses UUID | 20:11 |
| coalwater | hm | 20:11 |
| Unit193 | os-prober will check to see what operating systems you have, commenting out GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 in /etc/default/grub will give you the grub boot menu (I still don't seem to follow, maybe you should wait for the next person) | 20:14 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: are you using legacy or 2? | 20:15 |
| coalwater | grub2, its natty | 20:15 |
| coalwater | i already see the grub menu, because i have a windows and a previous kernel i think | 20:16 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Command Line and Rescue Mode | 20:16 |
| coalwater | the pc goes into grub rescue, i printed out a grub rescue how to from work today, and when i got home it only took me 2 mins to get my self working | 20:17 |
| coalwater | yea i think i need to change the root UUID | 20:18 |
| stlsaint | coalwater: that link should square you away | 20:18 |
| coalwater | but isn't that uuid a bit shor | 20:19 |
| coalwater | short | 20:19 |
| coalwater | in gparted it says the partition i want has uuid=531c0140-6715-412b-94d3-442b3e31154c | 20:20 |
| coalwater | do i remove the dashes | 20:20 |
| stlsaint | nope | 20:22 |
| stlsaint | you mean for grub? | 20:22 |
| coalwater | yea | 20:22 |
| stlsaint | no the dashes remain | 20:22 |
| coalwater | ok | 20:24 |
| coalwater | ill reboot and try adding this uuid | 20:24 |
| coalwater | but i need to write it down first lol | 20:24 |
| coalwater | is there a way to list uuid from grub or something | 20:24 |
| coalwater | ok brb :D | 20:27 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| coalwater | ok how can i fix grub from an active session :D lol, i failed on the uuid thing | 20:37 |
| holstein | coalwater: ive had success with the live CD method | 20:37 |
| holstein | if you somehow got booted into the box with the issue, sudo update-grub should fix everything | 20:38 |
| holstein | but thats never been the case for me... | 20:38 |
| coalwater | ok holstein , ill give it one more reboot, just done the update, and i did something before grub-mkconfig, w/e that is lol | 20:42 |
| coalwater | holstein, nope :D needed to do grub rescue again | 20:44 |
| coalwater | ok a new idea to try :D rebooting | 20:46 |
| coalwater | victory :D | 21:06 |
| coalwater | though i needed to use a gui app, but o well, we could learn to do it from terminal some other time lol | 21:07 |
