| mike1987 | Hello, im fairly new to Ubuntu, ive been using for maybe a year on my desktop, recently installed it on my SFF pc thats plugged into my 60" 600hz plasma TV, only thing is my refresh for 1920x1080 is stuck at 60hz and looks god awful, ive look online at a Askubuntu question for 11.10 followed the xrandr commands but still no joy, is there a gui way of doing this on 11.10? | 11:38 |
| Snicksie | maybe its a graphical card driver problem mike1987, did you install those drivers? If not, it means you work on the standard drivers, which will work, but will let you do less than might be possible with your card | 11:39 |
| CrazyThinker | Is there any way to hide the edges of apps in ubuntu launcher | 12:13 |
| duanedesign | hello CrazyThinker | 12:25 |
| duanedesign | CrazyThinker: not sure i understand | 12:26 |
| CrazyThinker | duanedesign, I've installed Compiz config | 12:35 |
| CrazyThinker | duanedesign, Did you get my messages? | 12:37 |

| ToeTag | is anyone available to help talk me through using netbootin to run a 'live cd' (via usb stick) of lubuntu? | 17:01 |
| ToeTag | i've booted from the usb and have a menu, but only see options for 'install'-type stuff, nothing about 'try without....' etc | 17:01 |
| stlsaint | ToeTag: is there a "Default" option? | 17:05 |
| agemyth | hello! | 20:05 |
| inference | how do i format a separate hard disk from the command line? im not sure how to designate which to format | 20:19 |
| geirha | First off, run sudo fdisk -l to list all harddrives and their partitions. | 20:20 |
| inference | so the one i want is /dev/sda | 20:21 |
| geirha | You best be sure :) | 20:22 |
| geirha | If that's the one, you run sudo fidk /dev/sda to partition it. | 20:23 |
| geirha | err, not fidk, fdisk | 20:24 |
| geirha | weird typo | 20:24 |
| inference | http://pastebin.com/CstvuPcs | 20:24 |
| inference | i want the one with 2 tb | 20:24 |
| geirha | Hm. GPT, never had any experience with that partition table. | 20:26 |
| geirha | fdisk will probably allow you to overwrite it with an msdos partition table, which your other two disks are using. | 20:27 |
| inference | its all gibberish to me :( | 20:32 |
| inference | gpt? | 20:32 |
| inference | one of my disks should be using the linux file system | 20:32 |
| inference | and i have another 1tb and another 2tb drive | 20:32 |
| geirha | Hm? According to your pastebin you have one 2TB drive and two 1TB drives | 20:34 |
| inference | yeah | 20:36 |
| inference | one of those 1tb should be in a l;inux file system | 20:36 |
| geirha | /dev/sdc has a linux partition and a swap partition. A typical "Ubuntu installer use whole disk" setup | 20:37 |
| geirha | /dev/sdb has a windows partition, probably NTFS with a Windows install | 20:39 |
| inference | should i use a particular file system for large drives | 22:18 |
| mysteriousdarren | what are you gonna use it for? | 22:41 |
| inference | archiving torrents mysteriousdarren | 22:49 |
| mysteriousdarren | used with linux or windows or both? | 22:51 |
| mysteriousdarren | used with raid? | 22:51 |
| inference | linux, alone | 22:53 |
| mysteriousdarren | ext4 is what I use, some admins like ext2 or 3 for speed. Depends on archiving, and how much fallback is needed. | 23:05 |
| inference | it seems after formatting that i cant access it... | 23:09 |
| inference | any idea why? | 23:09 |
| mysteriousdarren | ext3 is stable and ext4 is fast take your pick | 23:09 |
| inference | i mount it and the only folder in there is 'lost+found' and i cant add any data | 23:09 |
| mysteriousdarren | formatting? what did you do? | 23:09 |
| mysteriousdarren | permissions? | 23:09 |
| inference | i created a partition and formatted it | 23:09 |
| mysteriousdarren | on a hd? internal? | 23:10 |
| inference | yes | 23:10 |
| mysteriousdarren | set permissions for yourself as owner | 23:10 |
| inference | er | 23:10 |
| inference | how does one go about that | 23:10 |
| mysteriousdarren | I'm looking for a link | 23:11 |
| geirha | sudo chown "$USER:" /the/mount/point | 23:11 |
| geirha | $USER will expand to the username you logged in with | 23:12 |
| inference | automatically or i need to replace it? | 23:13 |
| inference | is the mount point /media/ or dev/sda1 | 23:13 |
| mysteriousdarren | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1112550 | 23:14 |
| mysteriousdarren | this will take care of it all | 23:14 |
| inference | fantastic, thanks | 23:15 |
| mysteriousdarren | your welcome | 23:16 |
