| philipballew | has anyone ever seen their computer unable to fully shutdown? | 03:17 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | philipballew, any issues? | 03:18 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | I have to leave now. And did you try sudo shutdown -1 ? | 03:19 |
| philipballew | well goodbye :) | 03:22 |
| KM0201 | philipballew: computers not completley shutting down, is not really that uncommon a problem w/ some motherboards (ive saw it with several dells) | 03:41 |
| KM0201 | philipballew: you can get around this, with sudo shutdown -h now (just make sure everythng is closed, saved, etc.. becuase.. now means now) | 03:42 |
| KM0201 | most of the time, that command will power down any PC. | 03:42 |
| bioterror | problems with acpi, if I remember right | 03:43 |
| computor | hi everyone. ive been using ubuntu for years and never got around to learning all the commands and the like. any suggestions on where to start? | 03:44 |
| bioterror | !shell | computor | 03:45 |
| ubot2 | Factoid 'shell \xc2\xa0' not found | 03:45 |
| bioterror | :------------D | 03:45 |
| bioterror | !bash | computor | 03:45 |
| ubot2 | computor: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 03:45 |
| computor | fantastic! thanks! | 03:46 |

| KM0201 | hmm | 03:56 |

| Kentrel | Hey, I have a harddrive called "Data" and another called "A", but linux mounts them as "Data_" and "A_". Why? | 16:21 |
| escott | Kentrel, maybe the uuid weren't so unique and have changed in which case it thinks Data is reserved for a previous uuid. not sure where the uuid mappings are stroed | 16:22 |
| charlie-tca | Did you leave a space after the name? | 16:24 |
| Kentrel | No, I did not | 16:25 |
| Kentrel | I did reinstall over my old installation though. | 16:25 |
| Kentrel | So the fstab is new, but it doesn't have any references for the harddrives | 16:25 |
| escott | Kentrel, you might remove the device and try to clear the blkid cache with blkid -g | 16:26 |
| Kentrel | Will unmounting it be enough? | 16:27 |
| escott | Kentrel, i would unplug it. you may be able to hand edit /etc/blkid.tab | 16:27 |
| escott | Kentrel, scratch that blkid.tab symlinks to something in /dev | 16:28 |
| bioterror | Kentrel, do you have already folders Data and A in /media? | 16:37 |
| Kentrel | yes | 16:37 |
| Kentrel | I have to sudo ls to see whats in them, and they're empty | 16:37 |
| bioterror | okay | 16:38 |
| bioterror | that's your problem | 16:38 |
| bioterror | you have two choices | 16:38 |
| bioterror | 1) you remove those folders from /media | 16:38 |
| bioterror | or you can add those drives to /etc/fstab and make them to be mounted on boot | 16:39 |
| Kentrel | 1 sounds easier. I'll try that first. thanks! | 16:39 |
| bioterror | the problem is that you dont have them in fstab, and probably nautilus checks that there's already folders with these names | 16:39 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | bioterror, never thought about the folders being present already. My bad. You have done a good job :D | 16:40 |
| charlie-tca | nice catch, bioterror | 16:40 |
| bioterror | IAmNotThatGuy, this is my suprised face: | 16:40 |
| bioterror | :--------D | 16:40 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | lol | 16:41 |
| javatexan | howdy all | 18:11 |
| javatexan | I know this is sacrilegious but I installed ubuntu server 11.04 and then put the xubuntu-desktop on it (basically making centos sortof). I need this server to be userless most of the time so I wanted to setup auto login... theres not an option in the settings manager -> Session and Startup.... help | 18:14 |
| pleia2 | javatexan: you want Settings > Login screen | 18:17 |
| pleia2 | one of the options is to log in automatically as a user | 18:17 |
| pleia2 | (Session and Startup is for post-login stuff) | 18:18 |
| javatexan | thanks pleia2 | 18:47 |
| javatexan | found it | 18:48 |
| javatexan | can you use cron @reboot to start a couple virtualbox vms? | 20:44 |
| bioterror | sure | 20:47 |
| javatexan | never mind bioterror I have to find a way to ask the vms to shutdown before the ubuntu reboot/shutdown is allowed. | 21:00 |
| javatexan | :( | 21:00 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| javatexan | I am guessing I will have to make my own script for rc.d? | 21:12 |
| javatexan | make that init.d....sorry...I was thinking about the runlevels...LOL | 21:14 |
| philipballew | how do i set a file as excitutible? | 21:21 |
| philipballew | chmod something i know | 21:21 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | sudo chmod +x filename | 21:21 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | one of a very limited amount of commands I actually remember :) | 21:21 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | or in nautilus just go to properties and make it executable from there | 21:22 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | philipballew: ^ | 21:22 |
| philipballew | nlsthzn-at-work, i could do nautlius, but the terminal sounds more fun! | 21:22 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | :) | 21:22 |
| philipballew | would I be able to do this to mutiple files at once or do i need to do one file at a time you think? | 21:23 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | philipballew: I have no idea... sorry | 21:25 |
| philipballew | no worries. just me being lazy. haha | 21:25 |
| escott | philipballew, of course you can use and globbing pattern chmod +x *.sh | 21:36 |
| philipballew | i typed chmod +x filename nextfilename anotherfilename ect | 21:39 |
| philipballew | it worked i think | 21:39 |
| nlsthzn-at-work | :) | 21:55 |
| javatexan | so if I want to use init.d and the runlevels to start an app at startup and stop it at shutdown, which do I use if there is a gui? I know some of the runlevels are only for text? | 23:32 |
| javatexan | i guess default install will probably work though right? | 23:34 |
| javatexan | # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 | 23:34 |
| javatexan | # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 | 23:34 |
