| jalcine | Does -u work with scp the same way it would with cp? | 12:14 |
| * jalcine should just try it. | 12:14 | |
| jalcine | Nope, it doesn't. | 12:14 |
| jalcine | :/ | 12:15 |
| Sidewinder1 | jalcine, I just "man"ed scp; it seems kind of involved (and way beyond my abilities) it may not be a 'beginner's' question. You might want to ask in #ubuntu. | 12:31 |

| Merathyadf | hi i have problems installing ubuntu. i am trying to install it alongside windows but everytime an error is displayed "couldnt install bootloader" i am given with different options to where install the bootloader manually but none seem to be working. help | 17:17 |
| forestpiskie | first is this a real install or are you trying with wubi, also which version of the OS is it? | 17:18 |
| forestpiskie | hi wildmanne39 | 17:18 |
| wildmanne39 | hi forestpiskie | 17:18 |
| Merathyadf | i am tried to install via usb-stick. its the version 11.10 desktop | 17:19 |
| forestpiskie | ok - does the machine already have something like windows on it ? | 17:20 |
| Merathyadf | yes. windows 7 | 17:20 |
| forestpiskie | and this is a proper install not a wubi one - or are you trying to install inside windows? | 17:20 |
| Merathyadf | i am sorry but what is a wubi? | 17:21 |
| forestpiskie | ubuntu inside windows | 17:21 |
| Merathyadf | no its a proper install and i started the installation via the boot menu | 17:21 |
| forestpiskie | ok - so which options have you been trying for the bootlaoder | 17:23 |
| Merathyadf | all of them | 17:23 |
| Merathyadf | :) | 17:23 |
| forestpiskie | lol | 17:23 |
| forestpiskie | are you in the liveusb now at the same prompt? if so - do a screenshot and paste it to an image pastebin like imgur | 17:24 |
| Merathyadf | no sorry i am trying to run ubuntu on this machine | 17:24 |
| forestpiskie | ok and when you start the machine the bootloader fails now I assume | 17:25 |
| Merathyadf | yes. i do net get the option to choose between windows and ubuntu | 17:25 |
| forestpiskie | what happens then? | 17:26 |
| Merathyadf | windows get booted as usually | 17:26 |
| forestpiskie | ok - got to the windows disk management tool and take a screenshot of that please | 17:27 |
| Merathyadf | http://i.imgur.com/nYNnW.png | 17:30 |
| Merathyadf | sorry windows runs in german if u have questions just asked i translated a couple of things in the pic | 17:31 |
| forestpiskie | that's ok - picture tells a thousands words - do you have dynamic disks? or are there only primary/extended/logicals | 17:33 |
| forestpiskie | you certainly appear to have than 4 primaries | 17:35 |
| Merathyadf | i have 1 dynamic disc | 17:36 |
| Merathyadf | its marked as e | 17:36 |
| Merathyadf | called "wechseldatenträger" | 17:36 |
| forestpiskie | afaik ubuntu has trouble installing to dynamic disks | 17:37 |
| forestpiskie | wildmanne39: do you know? | 17:37 |
| wildmanne39 | Hi, I am not an expert but I know that you can not install ubuntu until you convert the drive from dynamic disk, it would be best to get oldfreds help | 17:42 |
| forestpiskie | was my thought - unless there happens to be someone in here | 17:43 |
| forestpiskie | Merathyadf: do you have a forum account? | 17:43 |
| Merathyadf | no | 17:43 |
| Merathyadf | but i can get one :) | 17:43 |
| wildmanne39 | it is a task to convert the dynamic and oldfred is one of the best | 17:43 |
| forestpiskie | you might be better making a thread there | 17:43 |
| wildmanne39 | I would post in installations in the forum | 17:44 |
| forestpiskie | Merathyadf: to help the issue along - before you make the thread, boot the usb and go here then follow the instructions - otherwise you'll be asked all sorts of exploratory questions | 17:44 |
| Merathyadf | ok, but i am not trying to install unbuntu on my dynamic disc i want to install it on the partition i have left | 17:45 |
| forestpiskie | http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ | 17:45 |
| forestpiskie | yea - we understand that Merathyadf | 17:45 |
| Merathyadf | ok :> | 17:46 |
| forestpiskie | that script will show all the drive/partition info - also what grub is up to or not | 17:46 |
| Merathyadf | ok ill do that | 17:48 |
| Merathyadf | thank you very much :) | 17:48 |
| Merathyadf | cu later | 17:48 |

| Culiforge | trying to change file/directory perms. used sudo and root (each, not both at once). I get no errors on command line but file perms remain unchanged. | 21:02 |
| Culiforge | just did '$ sudo chmod 777 -R -v /media/TByte/nwn' and got big list of verified changes... get permission denied when I run a script in that dir | 21:09 |
| philipballew | chown does it to Culiforge I think | 21:10 |
| philipballew | unless I am not sure what you need help on | 21:10 |
| Culiforge | philipballew: I'm already owner of files and directories.. at least that's what Thunar tells me.. but I can't run anything in there.. tells me permission denied. I guess I need to know a) am I doing something wrong and b) how to I get it fixed. :) | 21:12 |
| philipballew | Culiforge, id look and see what the shell says as well probably about owernship | 21:12 |
| Culiforge | philipballew: previoust sudo chmod gave confirmation that everything in directory was changed to 777 | 21:14 |
| Culiforge | philipballew: so I use chown? | 21:14 |
| Culiforge | philipballew: looking at chown manpage now, I don't see an arg to view ownership.. what should I be using? | 21:16 |
| philipballew | i think you specify who owns files by saying the group and user that owns them | 21:17 |
| philipballew | i gtg. someone should help maybe | 21:18 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Culiforge: Hello! I have just arrived. Maybe I can take a look at your problem. | 21:19 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: woot! have at it | 21:19 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Culiforge: Can I have the name of the file you want to run? | 21:22 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Culiforge: Are you still here? | 21:31 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: yeah, sorry.. someone at the door... | 21:34 |
| JoseeAntonioR | No problem. | 21:34 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Is the script you are trying to run in that folder? | 21:34 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: it's a script called fixinstall... yes in that folder | 21:34 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Ok. The filename of the script is fixinstall, or what's it? | 21:34 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: yes, ./fixinstall (or what's it?) I think that's what you mean | 21:35 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Then, you should open a Terminal and write /media/TByte/nwn'/./fixinstall | 21:37 |
| JoseeAntonioR | That should run the script. | 21:37 |
| JoseeAntonioR | When you open Nautilus, is there a file icon for it? I mean, like a LO spreadsheet, or something similar. | 21:37 |
| Culiforge | $ ./fixinstall | 21:38 |
| Culiforge | bash: ./fixinstall: Permission denied | 21:38 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: xubuntu so thunar but yes it's there | 21:38 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Ok. Then you should issue this two commands: | 21:39 |
| JoseeAntonioR | sudo chmod 777 /media/TByte/nwn'/./fixinstall | 21:39 |
| JoseeAntonioR | sudo chmod 777 /media/TByte/nwn'/./ | 21:39 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: it goes to a > | 21:41 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Then, just the first command. | 21:41 |
| Culiforge | sudo chmod 777 /media/TByte/nwn'/./fixinstall gives me > | 21:42 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Ok, and what about sudo ./fixinstall? | 21:42 |
| Culiforge | sudo: ./fixinstall: command not found | 21:43 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Have you done cd to that folder? | 21:43 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: yes, I'm in that folder | 21:44 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: gary@xUForge:/media/TByte/nwn$ sudo ./fixinstall | 21:44 |
| JoseeAntonioR | And if you do ./fixinstall directly it gives you a permission error, right? | 21:44 |
| Culiforge | right | 21:44 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Can you access that folder in Thunar? | 21:45 |
| Culiforge | yes | 21:45 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Can you please access the /. folder, the one before fixinstall? | 21:45 |
| JoseeAntonioR | (In Thunar) | 21:45 |
| Culiforge | ok, done | 21:45 |
| Culiforge | one level up | 21:46 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Ok, once you are in there, right click the fixinstall folder, and click Properties. You should be able to change permissions in that folder. | 21:48 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Then, select Read and Write in everything. | 21:48 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: it won't let me.. I can change the dropdown but as soon as I select it reverts back | 21:49 |
| JoseeAntonioR | I know why: It's on a CD. Am I right? | 21:51 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: umm, quick question.. in the properties dialog/permissions tab.. there is an info line about SELinux context.. that wasn't there on previous installs | 21:51 |
| Culiforge | no, another drive. not cd/dvd | 21:52 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Hmm. Can you please try to open a new Terminal and type in gksudo thunar? | 21:52 |
| JoseeAntonioR | That will open a Thunar window with full permissions. Maybe that's it. | 21:52 |
| Culiforge | ok, thunar with root is open but I've got no options to go to other HDD's like 'TByte' | 21:55 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Go to the root, and then enter /media. Then you'll see it. | 21:55 |
| Culiforge | ok, found it.. yup, that's what I did | 21:55 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Ok. Were you able to change the permissions this time? | 21:56 |
| Culiforge | it's working, tell you in a sec | 21:56 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Ok :) | 21:56 |
| Culiforge | ... skipping symlinks | 21:57 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: nope, as soon as it finished working.. dropdown reverted back to 'none' for access | 21:57 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Maybe you can make a backup of the program somewhere else, and then run it from the folder in the Terminal. | 21:58 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: ok, I moved the script to another drive.. and it ran.. it failed because the rest of the stuff wasn't there. but it ran. why would I be prevented from changing properties on another drive.. | 22:01 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Don't know the reason for that. | 22:02 |
| JoseeAntonioR | So, now, we may have a solution. | 22:02 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Do cd to the folder you want to run the script on. | 22:02 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Once you are in that folder, write the FULL path to ./fixinstall | 22:02 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: wait.. the selinux thing is coming back to haunt me.. I installed fedora on another drive.. would it have put the selinux policies on that drive/ all other drives? | 22:02 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Hmm, don't know exactly. | 22:03 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: 'cause selinux isnt' part of ubuntu is it? | 22:03 |
| JoseeAntonioR | I think not, I don't have the exact information at the moment. | 22:04 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: but the path back to the script thing is working.. yeah! thanks.. now to do the same with the other scripts.. and/or find out why selinux is interfering | 22:06 |
| JoseeAntonioR | Yep. At least you have a temporary solution. | 22:06 |
| Culiforge | JoseeAntonioR: good deal.. thanks a lot | 22:06 |
| JoseeAntonioR | No problem. If you need anything else, make sure to come back, we'll be here, ready to help :) | 22:07 |
