[04:19] <ParkaSpace> Hi. I'm trying to get my printer to work on Ubuntu. Supposedly it's supported, but needs a driver. I've downloaded it, but it is not wanting to install without a password for root.
[04:20] <ParkaSpace> I'm pretty sure that I don't actually want to set a root password from what I've read...
[04:27] <mutes> parkaspace you already set a root password
[05:21] <nomnex> hi
[06:00] <dropbear> is someone able to talk me though how to use chmod to change the permissions on an external drive I have. It for some reason after formatting reverted to be root only. but I want read/write privelages for all users etc

[06:01] <holstein> dropbear: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive#Mount_The_Drive
[06:01] <holstein> the chown part in particular
[06:02] <dropbear> thank you
[06:05] <dropbear> I also have a rather strange questions. I updated to ubuntu 11.10 and now I have my desktop without anything down the side or along the top or anything. is there a simple fix to this?
[06:12] <bioterror> simple fix, reinstall
[06:12] <bioterror> another one could be removing ~/.gconf
[06:13] <dropbear> oh okay
[06:13] <dropbear> I will try that
[06:13] <bioterror> and hmm
[06:13] <bioterror> yeah, you could try with a new user account if it has the same proble
[06:14] <bioterror> if so, I would probably purge gnome\* :P
[06:14] <dropbear> okay
[06:15] <dropbear> in relation to my earlier problem about trying to change the read/write for my drive. when I enter mount -a it tells me that my mount point does not exist
[06:18] <holstein> dropbear: run fdisk -l
[06:18] <dropbear> okay
[06:18] <holstein> make sure the drive is showing up
[06:19] <dropbear> it's there
[06:20] <dropbear> it's /dev/sdb
[06:23] <dropbear> bioterror: is there a way to reinstall 11.10 and keep all of my file... like through the update manager? rather than making a USB and booting with that
[06:24] <holstein> i would always backup any data before reinstalling or whatever
[06:25] <holstein> you can paste the output of sudo fdisk -l to a pastebin for closer inspection
[06:25] <holstein> and elaborate as to what the isssue is...
[06:27] <dropbear> I can't do anything with my external drive because in the drive propertiees it is all root only privelages. I tried editing fstab but when I enter mount -a it comes up telling me that my mount point does not exist
[06:28] <holstein> dropbear: when i have added an external drive, i have followed the steps that in linked, and all has been well for me
[06:29] <dropbear> ok

[11:21] <nlsthzn> Hi all. I am having a bit of trouble on my first Wordpress install.  The blog is up and running, and attempting my first post I tried to insert a few images but they are not showing up in the posts... Place holders but no images.  Any ideas?
[11:40] <nlsthzn> Making some headway... the links to the images aren't correct... works when I manually edit them... just have to figure out now how to make them point to the correct images automatically

[20:41] <duanedesign> you can always ask away if someone knows it they will lwe you know
[20:41] <Duvrazh> why not...
