[00:46] <thewrath> hey all!
[00:51] <KM0201> o/
[02:21] <yanightmare> ougo
[02:22] <yanightmare> sorry
[02:26] <KM0201> ..
[03:17] <philipballew> has anyone ever seen their computer unable to fully shutdown?
[03:18] <IAmNotThatGuy> philipballew, any issues?
[03:19] <IAmNotThatGuy> I have to leave now.  And did you try sudo shutdown -1 ?
[03:22] <philipballew> well goodbye :)
[03:41] <KM0201> philipballew: computers not completley shutting down, is not really that uncommon a problem w/ some motherboards (ive saw it with several dells)
[03:42] <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.
[03:43] <bioterror> problems with acpi, if I remember right
[03:44] <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?
[03:45] <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
[03:46] <computor> fantastic! thanks!
[03:55] <philipballew> KM0201, bioterror alright. this is a new problem. i used this computer with 7.10-10.04 till i then let it sit and then installed xubuntu 10-10 and now this problem accours
[03:56] <KM0201> hmm
[03:58] <philipballew> but thats what happens now. haha
[09:24] <philipballew> how can I find out what comand a button on my desktop is giving?
[13:52] <s-fox> Hello.
[16:21] <Kentrel> Hey, I have a harddrive called "Data" and another called "A", but linux mounts them as "Data_" and "A_". Why?
[16:22] <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
[16:24] <charlie-tca> Did you leave a space after the name?
[16:25] <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
[16:26] <escott> Kentrel, you might remove the device and try to clear the blkid cache with blkid -g
[16:27] <Kentrel> Will unmounting it be enough?
[16:27] <escott> Kentrel, i would unplug it. you may be able to hand edit /etc/blkid.tab
[16:28] <escott> Kentrel, scratch that blkid.tab symlinks to something in /dev
[16:37] <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
[16:38] <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
[16:39] <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
[16:40] <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
[16:41] <IAmNotThatGuy> lol
[18:11] <javatexan> howdy all
[18:14] <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
[18:17] <pleia2> javatexan: you want Settings > Login screen
[18:17] <pleia2> one of the options is to log in automatically as a user
[18:18] <pleia2> (Session and Startup is for post-login stuff)
[18:47] <javatexan> thanks pleia2
[18:48] <javatexan> found it
[20:44] <javatexan> can you use cron @reboot to start a couple virtualbox vms?
[20:47] <bioterror> sure
[21:00] <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> :(
[21:12] <javatexan> I am guessing I will have to make my own script for rc.d?
[21:14] <javatexan> make that init.d....sorry...I was thinking about the runlevels...LOL
[21:21] <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 :)
[21:22] <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> :)
[21:23] <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?
[21:25] <nlsthzn-at-work> philipballew: I have no idea... sorry
[21:25] <philipballew> no worries. just me being lazy. haha
[21:36] <escott> philipballew, of course you can use and globbing pattern chmod +x *.sh
[21:39] <philipballew> i typed chmod +x filename nextfilename anotherfilename ect
[21:39] <philipballew> it worked i think
[21:55] <nlsthzn-at-work> :)
[23:32] <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?
[23:34] <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
