[01:04] a lot of people don't [01:04] i only reply to PM's to a select few people that i "know" the others i just close w/o response, or put them on PM ignore [01:32] JasonO: i work [01:32] JasonO: remember i am on a completely different time zone than you are ;) [01:32] I guess. [01:32] JasonO: i will be gone for another hour but send me a pm and i will respond when i get back [01:32] * stlsaint is AFK! [01:33] JasonO: also i stated that best method to reach me is email [01:33] stlsaint: Alright. [02:17] So I know how to check my CPU, RAM, HDD and networks to see how hard they are working. Is there any way to see how hard my video card is working? I'm wondering how close to it's limits I'm taking it. [02:18] head_victim, "limits" are mostly thermal. sudo apt-get install sensors [02:19] head_victim, but if you want to see your load use top for cpu, free for memory, [02:19] escott: ah ok, I can read the temps. I was more concerned with the onboard ram and GPU as I've recently made this 8800GT with only 512 MB ram go to dual screen 24 inches. [02:19] head_victim, iotop for disk usage [02:19] escott: yeah like I said I know how to test CPU, RAM, HDD and networks, looking for a way to check the video card in a similar matter. [02:21] head_victim, well even dual screen 24 inches won't use much ram, those buffers aren't that big even at 1980x1024 and 4 copies of all the buffers its only 30megs [02:23] escott: ah ok, just wasn't sure as when I start gaming while the HDTV is going the TV gets a little jerky despite the cpu and ram all being within normal. [02:23] Trying to see if it's driver or hardware related.

I have an separate internal hdd and i can mount to it on the dui by going to it in places, but I can not mount to it in terminal mode. [03:56] gui not dui [03:58] any help? [03:58] hey [03:58] Yeah? [03:59] Nubi1Kenobi: you can mount the drive fine yes? [03:59] what is the issue? you just want to mount via command prompt? [03:59] stlsaint, correct [03:59] Nubi1Kenobi: try running command: mount all [04:00] Nubi1Kenobi: let me know what you get [04:01] stlsaint, http://pastebin.com/g81Qf4ae [04:01] please, how can i configure HP RC6 remote control on VLC? [04:04] stlsaint, what do you think? [04:05] Nubi1Kenobi: one sec [04:05] stlsaint, 10-4 [04:05] in the mean time Nubi1Kenobi , check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [04:06] Nubi1Kenobi: sorry, try mount -a [04:06] stlsaint, ok, one other thing [04:06] stlsaint, nm i will try it [04:07] Nubi1Kenobi: sudo mount -a [04:08] stlsaint, http://pastebin.com/rMK3n2ur [04:08] The other thing.....what do I got to do to program a hot key to "alt-tab" between the different work spaces? [04:09] Nubi1Kenobi: now run mount and see if your internal drive is now mounted [04:12] stlsaint, http://pastebin.com/sDPDYieQ [04:12] stl The Label "image" for drive sdb1 is what I am looking for [04:12] stlsaint, The Label "image" for drive sdb1 is what I am looking for [04:14] Nubi1Kenobi: run command: sudo fdisk -l [04:16] Nubi1Kenobi: if you are fine with installing it i would suggest installing a app called: pastebinit [04:16] Nubi1Kenobi: that way you can directly output to a pastebin from terminal [04:16] just run: | pastebinit [04:18] stlsaint, http://imagebin.org/166615 and http://pastebin.com/1eTza1TA [04:18] i may [04:20] for me, i run sudo fdisk -l, i find the partition i want to mount, such as /dev/sdb1, i mount it to a directory, like sudo mount /dev/sdb1 ~/whatever [04:20] assuming the directory 'whatever' is there [04:21] Nubi1Kenobi: mkdir /mnt/tmp ; mount /dev/sdb1 -t /mnt/tmp [04:21] Nubi1Kenobi: seperate cmmands there represented by the ; [04:21] all, well here is the thing, and you may remember the other night when i was talking to Cronos about trying to get part image to work... [04:22] cat /proc/partitions is probably better than relying on fdisk which may not support gpt [04:22] stlsaint, but it is already there, I am just not sure how to get to that. My frined installed all this and he was able to sudo su, run partimage and use the director media/image/Windowsblahblah blah.000 and it worked.... [04:23] I can mount the drive in the gui [04:23] no problems... [04:23] go to your /mnt folder [04:23] cd /mnt [04:23] then see if its there: ls -la [04:23] just not in terminal...I figured I would try to mount it there and see if I was making a mistake on the path in part image [04:23] k [04:23] if not there maybe your friend mounted it in /media [04:23] in which go there [04:24] escott: i like that :) [04:24] Nubi1Kenobi: then also what happens if you hit the "mount volume' button in disk utility? [04:25] stlsaint, it mounts [04:25] stlsaint, http://pastebin.com/BZiWztqE [04:25] stlsaint, mounted @ media/image [04:26] ok so now you should be able to use it [04:26] and see it with all the other commands, blkid, mouunt, fdisk, etc [04:26] what exactly do I need to type in the command line to get to it [04:26] Nubi1Kenobi: cd /media/image [04:27] stlsaint, uno momento [04:29] stlsaint, http://imagebin.org/166617 and http://pastebin.com/zfv9LwwX [04:30] stlsaint, you will see it is actual mounted and then i opened up a new terminal and tried to get to it [04:30] stlsaint, what am i doing wrong or is this thing possessed? [04:30] Nubi1Kenobi: first question...why are you doing sudo su? [04:31] idk [04:31] stlsaint, still doesnt work when i dont [04:32] stlsaint, i installed the pastebinit [04:32] Nubi1Kenobi: i am thinking either you have a faulty drive or formated wrong [04:32] Nubi1Kenobi: your disk utility should show you way more than it does, can you reach the drive via nautilus? [04:33] stlsaint, nautilus? [04:34] Nubi1Kenobi, the file browser for gnome [04:34] oh' [04:34] Nubi1Kenobi: Hit the places tab [04:35] stlsaint, it is in places and in dolphin [04:35] Nubi1Kenobi: can you access it? [04:36] graphically yes, no problemo, i can even see the original imgae my friend did. But I can not via terminal mode [04:36] Nubi1Kenobi: do you have important info on this drive? [04:36] Sort of... [04:37] I do not want to lose my windows image of the base install w/o software [04:37] Nubi1Kenobi: well at this stage i would suggest not touching this drive anymore [04:37] Nubi1Kenobi: if you can access it via gui leave it at that [04:38] stlsaint, I was trying to save another image to it, and partimage is a terminal mode program...hence the problem.. [04:38] stlsaint, guess I will have to wait on my friend, I was hoping to have this figured out before he came over next [04:39] stlsaint, And I am exausted on the issue...so I will be patient [04:39] stlsaint, is there an easy way to set up workspace switching from a hotkey? [04:41] stlsaint, what would need to be the command in the keyboard short cut area? [04:41] Nubi1Kenobi: i understand, back up your image first then we can go after that drive again [04:42] Nubi1Kenobi: does ctrl+alt+left not work for you? [04:42] stlsaint, here is the thing, i can not copy it off the drive to another drive [04:42] or right [04:42] Nubi1Kenobi: ? i thought you said it was a image...like a ghost image yes? [04:42] stlsaint, it works, just didnt know what keys they were...thnx...got 9 of them open [04:43] stlsaint, the name of the image file is WindowsBase.000 [04:43] Nubi1Kenobi: ctrl+alt+ should not open up more tabs [04:43] stlsaint, it is working fine [04:43] Nubi1Kenobi: ok good [04:44] stlsaint, I set it as 9 [04:44] stlsaint, Just starting to get a feel on ubuntu, I am liking it a lot. [04:46] stlsaint, I have a meeting setup tomorrow with a couple of peeps, my friend is supposed to come early. [04:46] Nubi1Kenobi: well welcome aboard [04:46] stlsaint, I can wait until then...wifey is on her way home, so need to wrap things up on here. When I find out what the whole disconnect was on here, I can let you know when I see you next....been living on the irc here of late [04:46] stlsaint, how does that pastebinit prog work? [04:46] stlsaint, ty [04:46] Nubi1Kenobi: try running: cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit [04:48] Nubi1Kenobi: did it work? [04:48] stlsaint, yeah, that is neat [04:48] Nubi1Kenobi: yea i enjoy it [04:48] Nubi1Kenobi: if you have a preferred paste site you can use the -b option [04:48] cat /etc/fstab | pastebinit -b www.whatever.com [04:49] stlsaint, curious how do you get it to capture already existing info on terminal, rather than it running the result of the command? [04:49] but that site must be allowed within default pastebinit program or else you will have to recompile yourself and add in the pastebin site [04:50] Nubi1Kenobi: it would actually be faster to just re-run the command you did in the first place to get that output [04:50] stlsaint, k [04:50] k [04:50] stlsaint, How to I change the default OS in grub? [04:51] stlsaint, I am dual booted [04:51] stlsaint, I need it to default to win7 for my wife [04:52] Nubi1Kenobi: you can use a program called: startup-manager [04:52] Nubi1Kenobi: you could also use grub but since you are starting out new i wouldnt suggest touching grub just yet [04:52] Nubi1Kenobi: not trying to insult you or anything but you can really wreck a system by messing up grub [04:52] stlsaint, Grub is already set up [04:53] Nubi1Kenobi: No. [04:53] Nubi1Kenobi: grub is setup to boot ubuntu first [04:53] and it is [04:53] Nubi1Kenobi: exactly which is why i said use startup-manager to set what OS you want to boot first [04:53] 10-4 [04:55] ?? [04:55] Nubi1Kenobi: i must leave for now [04:55] you can ask anyone in the room any further questions you may have [04:55] just ask it and someone will answer [04:55] stlsaint, i am good [04:55] Nubi1Kenobi: again welcome to ubuntu [04:56] stlsaint, 10-4 is an acknowledgemnt [04:56] trucker [04:56] Nubi1Kenobi: roger [04:56] lol [04:56] * stlsaint AFK!!

[05:20] Nubi1Kenobi: i have irssi set up that way... but i think xchat does it all too [05:20] * holstein looking [05:20] Nubi1Kenobi, sure [05:20] holstein, Xchat will only let you do 1 unless there is an option somewhere that will let you do multiple [05:20] Nubi1Kenobi, xchat menu network list edit servers choose ubuntu servers ( really freenode) [05:21] Nubi1Kenobi, then put the autojoin list #chan1,#chan2,#chan3,#etc [05:21] hmmm [05:22] lemme check it out [05:22] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2421363 maybe?
