[12:14] * jalcine should just try it. [12:14] Nope, it doesn't. [12:15] :/ [12:31] 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.

[17:18] hi wildmanne39 [17:18] hi forestpiskie [17:19] i am tried to install via usb-stick. its the version 11.10 desktop [17:20] ok - does the machine already have something like windows on it ? [17:20] yes. windows 7 [17:20] and this is a proper install not a wubi one - or are you trying to install inside windows? [17:21] i am sorry but what is a wubi? [17:21] ubuntu inside windows [17:21] no its a proper install and i started the installation via the boot menu [17:23] ok - so which options have you been trying for the bootlaoder [17:23] all of them [17:23] :) [17:23] lol [17:24] 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] no sorry i am trying to run ubuntu on this machine [17:25] ok and when you start the machine the bootloader fails now I assume [17:25] yes. i do net get the option to choose between windows and ubuntu [17:26] what happens then? [17:26] windows get booted as usually [17:27] ok - got to the windows disk management tool and take a screenshot of that please [17:30] http://i.imgur.com/nYNnW.png [17:31] sorry windows runs in german if u have questions just asked i translated a couple of things in the pic [17:33] that's ok - picture tells a thousands words - do you have dynamic disks? or are there only primary/extended/logicals [17:35] you certainly appear to have than 4 primaries [17:36] i have 1 dynamic disc [17:36] its marked as e [17:36] called "wechseldatenträger" [17:37] afaik ubuntu has trouble installing to dynamic disks [17:37] wildmanne39: do you know? [17:42] 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] was my thought - unless there happens to be someone in here [17:43] Merathyadf: do you have a forum account? [17:43] no [17:43] but i can get one :) [17:43] it is a task to convert the dynamic and oldfred is one of the best [17:43] you might be better making a thread there [17:44] I would post in installations in the forum [17:44] 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] 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] http://bootinfoscript.sourceforge.net/ [17:45] yea - we understand that Merathyadf [17:46] ok :> [17:46] that script will show all the drive/partition info - also what grub is up to or not [17:48] ok ill do that [17:48] thank you very much :) [17:48] cu later [18:19] hi, anyone know how to add the spin button to libre office calc? [18:20] for spread sheet function === yofel_ is now known as yofel [21:02] 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] 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] chown does it to Culiforge I think [21:10] unless I am not sure what you need help on [21:12] 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] Culiforge, id look and see what the shell says as well probably about owernship [21:14] philipballew: previoust sudo chmod gave confirmation that everything in directory was changed to 777 [21:14] philipballew: so I use chown? [21:16] philipballew: looking at chown manpage now, I don't see an arg to view ownership.. what should I be using? [21:17] i think you specify who owns files by saying the group and user that owns them [21:18] i gtg. someone should help maybe [21:19] Culiforge: Hello! I have just arrived. Maybe I can take a look at your problem. [21:19] JoseeAntonioR: woot! have at it [21:22] Culiforge: Can I have the name of the file you want to run? [21:31] Culiforge: Are you still here? [21:34] JoseeAntonioR: yeah, sorry.. someone at the door... [21:34] No problem. [21:34] Is the script you are trying to run in that folder? [21:34] JoseeAntonioR: it's a script called fixinstall... yes in that folder [21:34] Ok. The filename of the script is fixinstall, or what's it? [21:35] JoseeAntonioR: yes, ./fixinstall (or what's it?) I think that's what you mean [21:37] Then, you should open a Terminal and write /media/TByte/nwn'/./fixinstall [21:37] That should run the script. [21:37] When you open Nautilus, is there a file icon for it? I mean, like a LO spreadsheet, or something similar. [21:38] $ ./fixinstall [21:38] bash: ./fixinstall: Permission denied [21:38] JoseeAntonioR: xubuntu so thunar but yes it's there [21:39] Ok. Then you should issue this two commands: [21:39] sudo chmod 777 /media/TByte/nwn'/./fixinstall [21:39] sudo chmod 777 /media/TByte/nwn'/./ [21:41] JoseeAntonioR: it goes to a > [21:41] Then, just the first command. [21:42] sudo chmod 777 /media/TByte/nwn'/./fixinstall gives me > [21:42] Ok, and what about sudo ./fixinstall? [21:43] sudo: ./fixinstall: command not found [21:43] Have you done cd to that folder? [21:44] JoseeAntonioR: yes, I'm in that folder [21:44] JoseeAntonioR: gary@xUForge:/media/TByte/nwn$ sudo ./fixinstall [21:44] And if you do ./fixinstall directly it gives you a permission error, right? [21:44] right [21:45] Can you access that folder in Thunar? [21:45] yes [21:45] Can you please access the /. folder, the one before fixinstall? [21:45] (In Thunar) [21:45] ok, done [21:46] one level up [21:48] 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] Then, select Read and Write in everything. [21:49] JoseeAntonioR: it won't let me.. I can change the dropdown but as soon as I select it reverts back [21:51] I know why: It's on a CD. Am I right? [21:51] 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] no, another drive. not cd/dvd [21:52] Hmm. Can you please try to open a new Terminal and type in gksudo thunar? [21:52] That will open a Thunar window with full permissions. Maybe that's it. [21:55] ok, thunar with root is open but I've got no options to go to other HDD's like 'TByte' [21:55] Go to the root, and then enter /media. Then you'll see it. [21:55] ok, found it.. yup, that's what I did [21:56] Ok. Were you able to change the permissions this time? [21:56] it's working, tell you in a sec [21:56] Ok :) [21:57] ... skipping symlinks [21:57] JoseeAntonioR: nope, as soon as it finished working.. dropdown reverted back to 'none' for access [21:58] Maybe you can make a backup of the program somewhere else, and then run it from the folder in the Terminal. [22:01] 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] Don't know the reason for that. [22:02] So, now, we may have a solution. [22:02] Do cd to the folder you want to run the script on. [22:02] Once you are in that folder, write the FULL path to ./fixinstall [22:02] 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] Hmm, don't know exactly. [22:03] JoseeAntonioR: 'cause selinux isnt' part of ubuntu is it? [22:04] I think not, I don't have the exact information at the moment. [22:06] 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] Yep. At least you have a temporary solution. [22:06] JoseeAntonioR: good deal.. thanks a lot [22:07] No problem. If you need anything else, make sure to come back, we'll be here, ready to help :) [22:08] JoseeAntonioR: right on. that's why I love ubuntu more and more [22:08] can anyone help me with adding the spin button on calc === Culiforge is now known as cul_afk [22:08] I canrt find the right chat forum to discuss this so I am here [22:08] dsenator: Let me check, I'll be back in a sec.
