[12:14] <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.
[12:15] <jalcine> :/
[12:31] <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.

[17:17] <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
[17:18] <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
[17:19] <Merathyadf> i am tried to install via usb-stick. its the version 11.10 desktop
[17:20] <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?
[17:21] <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
[17:23] <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
[17:24] <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
[17:25] <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
[17:26] <forestpiskie> what happens then?
[17:26] <Merathyadf> windows get booted as usually
[17:27] <forestpiskie> ok - got to the windows disk management tool and take a screenshot of that please
[17:30] <Merathyadf> http://i.imgur.com/nYNnW.png
[17:31] <Merathyadf> sorry windows runs in german if u have questions just asked i translated a couple of things in the pic
[17:33] <forestpiskie> that's ok - picture tells a thousands words - do you have dynamic disks? or are there only primary/extended/logicals
[17:35] <forestpiskie> you certainly appear to have than 4 primaries
[17:36] <Merathyadf> i have 1 dynamic disc
[17:36] <Merathyadf> its marked as e
[17:36] <Merathyadf> called "wechseldatenträger"
[17:37] <forestpiskie> afaik ubuntu has trouble installing to dynamic disks
[17:37] <forestpiskie> wildmanne39: do you know?
[17:42] <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
[17:43] <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
[17:44] <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
[17:45] <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
[17:46] <Merathyadf> ok :>
[17:46] <forestpiskie> that script will show all the drive/partition info - also what grub is up to or not
[17:48] <Merathyadf> ok ill do that
[17:48] <Merathyadf> thank you very much :)
[17:48] <Merathyadf> cu later
[18:19] <dsenator> hi, anyone know how to add the spin button to libre office calc?
[18:20] <dsenator> for spread sheet function
[21:02] <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.
[21:09] <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
[21:10] <philipballew> chown does it to Culiforge I think
[21:10] <philipballew> unless I am not sure what you need help on
[21:12] <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
[21:14] <Culiforge> philipballew: previoust sudo chmod gave confirmation that everything in directory was changed to 777
[21:14] <Culiforge> philipballew: so I use chown?
[21:16] <Culiforge> philipballew: looking at chown manpage now, I don't see an arg to view ownership.. what should I be using?
[21:17] <philipballew> i think you specify who owns files by saying the group and user that owns them
[21:18] <philipballew> i gtg. someone should help maybe
[21:19] <JoseeAntonioR> Culiforge: Hello! I have just arrived. Maybe I can take a look at your problem.
[21:19] <Culiforge> JoseeAntonioR: woot! have at it
[21:22] <JoseeAntonioR> Culiforge: Can I have the name of the file you want to run?
[21:31] <JoseeAntonioR> Culiforge: Are you still here?
[21:34] <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?
[21:35] <Culiforge> JoseeAntonioR: yes, ./fixinstall (or what's it?) I think that's what you mean
[21:37] <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.
[21:38] <Culiforge> $ ./fixinstall
[21:38] <Culiforge> bash: ./fixinstall: Permission denied
[21:38] <Culiforge> JoseeAntonioR: xubuntu so thunar but yes it's there
[21:39] <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'/./
[21:41] <Culiforge> JoseeAntonioR: it goes to a >
[21:41] <JoseeAntonioR> Then, just the first command.
[21:42] <Culiforge> sudo chmod 777 /media/TByte/nwn'/./fixinstall gives me >
[21:42] <JoseeAntonioR> Ok, and what about sudo ./fixinstall?
[21:43] <Culiforge> sudo: ./fixinstall: command not found
[21:43] <JoseeAntonioR> Have you done cd to that folder?
[21:44] <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
[21:45] <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
[21:46] <Culiforge> one level up
[21:48] <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.
[21:49] <Culiforge> JoseeAntonioR: it won't let me.. I can change the dropdown but as soon as I select it reverts back
[21:51] <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
[21:52] <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.
[21:55] <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
[21:56] <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 :)
[21:57] <Culiforge> ... skipping symlinks
[21:57] <Culiforge> JoseeAntonioR: nope, as soon as it finished working.. dropdown reverted back to 'none' for access
[21:58] <JoseeAntonioR> Maybe you can make a backup of the program somewhere else, and then run it from the folder in the Terminal.
[22:01] <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..
[22:02] <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?
[22:03] <JoseeAntonioR> Hmm, don't know exactly.
[22:03] <Culiforge> JoseeAntonioR: 'cause selinux isnt' part of ubuntu is it?
[22:04] <JoseeAntonioR> I think not, I don't have the exact information at the moment.
[22:06] <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
[22:07] <JoseeAntonioR> No problem. If you need anything else, make sure to come back, we'll be here, ready to help :)
