| souliaq | Hi, I need a channel for general linux programming questions. | 04:16 |
| EvilResistance | ##programming ? | 04:18 |
| EvilResistance | or ##linux ? | 04:18 |
| souliaq | C++ programming | 04:19 |
| souliaq | in Linux, I missing some components in Windows like Windows Registry | 04:19 |
| souliaq | I need put per user config in some POSIX way | 04:20 |
| meet | how to remove lubuntu and install ubuntu? | 04:44 |
| mysteriousdarren | meet: is this a clean install? lubuntu install? ubuntu install? other> | 04:45 |
| mysteriousdarren | ? | 04:45 |
| EvilResistance | meet: depending on what you want specifically, either clean install Ubuntu over the partition, if you dont want the programs that're bundled with Lubuntu, or just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop if you dont mind the leftovers from Lubuntu remaining | 04:45 |
| EvilResistance | but yeah, we do need more info, whats its current setup, what're you wanting, etc. | 04:45 |
| meet | no i dont want lubuntu completely. on my computer i got 3 partitions. c,d,l. c=winxp and l=lubuntu | 04:46 |
| meet | i want to remove lubuntu from l and replace with ubuntu | 04:46 |
| EvilResistance | that'd require some advanced partitioning, which can be tricky | 04:46 |
| EvilResistance | (semi-advanced, rather) | 04:46 |
| meet | will loggin to winxp and writing the mbr using easybcd and formating l drive help? | 04:46 |
| EvilResistance | not really, the semi-advanced partitioning was in reference to installing Ubuntu to "L" without overwriting the entire disk (including C and D) | 04:47 |
| meet | i did that with lubuntu | 04:50 |
| meet | in winxp i can see three partitions with l: for lubuntu.. so will not formating the partition and writing the windows bootloader remove lubuntu? | 04:51 |
| meet | will this not help? | 04:51 |
| kanliot | go into windows xp | 04:51 |
| kanliot | format the lubuntu partiton | 04:52 |
| kanliot | you're done | 04:52 |
| kanliot | installing ubuntu will fix grub | 04:52 |
| meet | so after i format the parition and restart will booting from ubuntu cd work? | 04:53 |
| meet | @ kanliot | 04:53 |
| kanliot | yeah | 04:53 |
| kanliot | actually you can also format in the ubuntu cd | 04:53 |
| meet | thats easy.. so need to write the windows bootloader using any software? | 04:53 |
| kanliot | nope | 04:53 |
| meet | thanks kanliot | 04:53 |
| kanliot | you can hang out here if you have any questions | 04:54 |
| AquaGirlLove | Hi. | 05:06 |
| bioterror | morning | 05:06 |
| AquaGirlLove | I am having some trouble installing Lubuntu onto my HP Pavilion Slimline. | 05:06 |
| AquaGirlLove | I am trying to dual boot the computer with Win 7 and Lubuntu. | 05:07 |
| AquaGirlLove | I go through the entire installation process, but when I reboot after it is done, I keep starting in Win 7. | 05:07 |
| AquaGirlLove | For some odd reason, Grub does not start up. | 05:08 |
| bioterror | okay | 05:08 |
| bioterror | wait a sec | 05:08 |
| AquaGirlLove | Okay. :) | 05:08 |
| bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 05:09 |
| bioterror | there you go | 05:09 |
| bioterror | that should help you to fix it | 05:09 |
| AquaGirlLove | Thank you. :) | 05:09 |
| bioterror | you can use 2nd option to get boot-repair | 05:10 |
| bioterror | if you use your lubuntu live media which you created | 05:10 |
| AquaGirlLove | hmm... | 05:12 |
| AquaGirlLove | I will try that. Thank you so much! :D | 05:14 |
| kanliot | girllove is it possible you messed up when you installed lubuntu? | 05:14 |
| bioterror | kanliot, hardly | 05:14 |
| AquaGirlLove | I just bought the computer today. | 05:15 |
| kanliot | for example there is an option to select which disk to install grub 2 | 05:15 |
| kanliot | you selected the right disk? | 05:15 |
| AquaGirlLove | I selected /sda and not any of the /sda1 or /sda2 | 05:15 |
| bioterror | haha | 05:16 |
| bioterror | as I said, hardly ;) | 05:16 |
| AquaGirlLove | I thought maybe Microsoft started to impose that BIOS lockdown. | 05:17 |
| AquaGirlLove | I have never had an issue like this in the past with other comptuers when installing Lubuntu. | 05:18 |
| bioterror | and you can disable that from the BIOS | 05:18 |
| bioterror | and it' not Microsoft | 05:18 |
| bioterror | it's the hardware vendors ;) | 05:18 |
| AquaGirlLove | Ahh... | 05:18 |
| bioterror | Microsoft just uses the possibility to use that feature to secure their operating system | 05:18 |
| bioterror | and I see nothing wrong in it | 05:18 |
| AquaGirlLove | Let me try the boot repairto see how that goes. | 05:19 |
| AquaGirlLove | Again, thank you for your help. :) | 05:19 |
| bioterror | I believe this was not the last time we see her ;) | 05:20 |
| AquaGirlLove | Hi. Just wanted to thank you, bioterror. The boot-repair did the trick. :) | 06:20 |
| bioterror | you're welcome | 06:21 |
| AquaGirlLove | Have a wonderful night. :) | 06:21 |
| AquaGirlLove | Bye. :) | 06:21 |
| bioterror | it's morning :D | 06:21 |
| AquaGirlLove | Have a wonderful day! :D | 06:22 |
| bioterror | but hope you like your lubuntu on your new laptop | 06:22 |
| AquaGirlLove | Bye. :) | 06:22 |
| bioterror | I will! | 06:22 |
| AquaGirlLove | I like it! | 06:22 |
| AquaGirlLove | I have been using it since 10.04. | 06:22 |
| AquaGirlLove | Or was that 10.10... | 06:22 |
| bioterror | 10.10 was a great release | 06:22 |
| AquaGirlLove | I really like the speed of LXDE. | 06:22 |
| AquaGirlLove | Anyway, you have a wonderful day, and thank you for your help. :) Bye bye for now. :) | 06:24 |
| kanliot | i don't get it | 06:40 |
| kanliot | with her laptop | 06:40 |
| kanliot | why would grub not install in the first place? | 06:40 |
| bioterror | becouse 0 was 1 and 1 was 0 | 06:42 |
| kanliot | is that binary for sarcasm? | 06:42 |
| kanliot | i can't tell | 06:42 |
| kanliot | ;) | 06:42 |
| bioterror | have you seen the movie Magnolia | 06:43 |
| kanliot | no | 06:43 |
| bioterror | well, in the end it has a good explanation for things ;) | 06:43 |
| kanliot | man i'm actually kind of happy they fixed one bug annoying me | 06:45 |
| kanliot | transmission would always show new windows behind existing windows.... and they fixed it... in transmission | 06:46 |
| smile4love | hi :) | 08:23 |
| NQTropic | hi | 08:24 |
| smile4love | NQTropic: how are you? :) | 08:27 |
| NQTropic | not bad, Saturday evening, having a few drinks | 08:28 |
| NQTropic | u? | 08:29 |
| smile4love | NQTropic: i'm fine! :D | 08:29 |
| smile4love | Very sleepy however 9.9 | 08:29 |
| NQTropic | 9.9? | 08:30 |
| NQTropic | oh that's the eyes right | 08:30 |
| smile4love | yes! that are the eyes (chatzilla) | 08:30 |
| NQTropic | I'm listening to some mp3's before some mates come get me in about 45min | 08:31 |
| smile4love | NQTropic: they will kidnap you :o | 08:31 |
| NQTropic | to drink, talk shit and play poker | 08:31 |
| NQTropic | smile4love: what version of lubuntu are you running? | 08:32 |
| smile4love | NQTropic: i was running 11.10 a month ago :) | 08:33 |
| NQTropic | and now? | 08:33 |
| smile4love | nothing. Linux Mint Debian Edition (Xfce) | 08:33 |
| smile4love | :) | 08:33 |
| smile4love | handles printing (cups & samba) better :) | 08:34 |
| smile4love | however, i'm using some lxde components (lxterminal, pcmanfm) | 08:34 |
| NQTropic | oh I see | 08:34 |
| NQTropic | not sure that I like the idea of a rolling release distro | 08:37 |
| smile4love | NQTropic: I like it :) | 08:48 |
| smile4love | I enabled debian sid repository's :) | 08:48 |
| smile4love | Just a few packages that stuck to and old version because of package dependencies :) | 08:49 |
| smile4love | * an | 08:49 |
| NQTropic | I like to install a system and keep it the same and stable, only add security updates if I decide | 08:52 |
| smile4love | NQTropic: I want to recieve improvements over time :) | 08:56 |
| NQTropic | I do a clean install with a new version if I want that | 09:00 |

| saint33 | hi folks | 16:12 |
| saint33 | does anyone have any tweaks for Lubuntu to make it better ? | 16:17 |
| bioterror | another's better is others not so bettre | 16:18 |
| bioterror | better | 16:18 |
| saint33 | that's true :) | 16:18 |
| bioterror | but if you have anything in mind, let us know | 16:18 |
| bioterror | maybe we can help you | 16:18 |
| bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/FAQ maybe there is something | 16:19 |
| saint33 | I already have a few drive and swap tweaks, and the chromium no-cache setup to make things faster | 16:19 |
| bodhi_zazen | better is in the eyes of the beholder, you will need to be more specific in what you want of lubuntu | 16:19 |
| saint33 | looking to make things faster or use less memory, that's all really | 16:19 |
| bodhi_zazen | Are you using swap ? | 16:20 |
| saint33 | nope, 2gb memory and using tmpfs instead, works perfectly | 16:20 |
| bodhi_zazen | If not, then it is a long run for a short slide to use "less memory" | 16:20 |
| bodhi_zazen | Who care if you are using 60 mb (openbox) or 300 mb (Unity), firefox is not going to run any faster or slower | 16:21 |
| saint33 | and noatime by default to speed up drive access | 16:21 |
| bodhi_zazen | Unused RAM is wasted RAM | 16:21 |
| saint33 | heh yeah, agreed. | 16:21 |
| saint33 | am onl tweaking so I can have things running on ancient tech | 16:22 |
| bodhi_zazen | I used to do a lot of that sort of stuff, but honestly it does not make that big a difference unless you are benchmarking or doing a disk intense task | 16:22 |
| bodhi_zazen | Write 10,000 1K files to disk -> now overwrite them with /dev/zero , sure it will be faster | 16:23 |
| bodhi_zazen | but firefox is not going to run *that* much faster | 16:23 |
| saint33 | many little tweaks add up though... | 16:24 |
| bodhi_zazen | yea, but many of them also risk data loss | 16:24 |
| saint33 | true, depending on tweak... I'll stick with the current one's for now... was just curious to see what was available to try | 16:25 |
| bodhi_zazen | Your system is going to cache writes to disk , and perform them in the background | 16:25 |
| bodhi_zazen | so firefox is not going to run any faster while you read what I am typing on IRC | 16:25 |
| bodhi_zazen | so unless you run benchmarks ... | 16:25 |
| saint33 | I use chromium and opera, no firefox here | 16:26 |
| bodhi_zazen | OK, same applies to those | 16:26 |
| bodhi_zazen | Most of the firefox slow downs are due to extensions | 16:26 |
| bodhi_zazen | FF w/o extensions is fast enough | 16:27 |
| saint33 | yeah seen a few setups with tonnes installed... | 16:27 |
| saint33 | that's why I like OPera, it's all included already | 16:27 |
| saint33 | what do you normally do after a fresh install ? | 16:28 |
| bodhi_zazen | You can do a few kernel tweaks, but, it is hard to beat the defaults | 16:28 |
| bodhi_zazen | to do so you need to have a firm understanding of the kernel and your hardware | 16:28 |
| saint33 | yeah, I dont wanna end up compiling a new kernel each time | 16:28 |
| bodhi_zazen | In general, if there were a magic tweak that would boost your performance, it would already be enabled | 16:29 |
| bodhi_zazen | You need to balance speed with data integrity | 16:30 |
| saint33 | agreed... the main one's I do are the noatime, no chromium cache and tempfs | 16:30 |
| bodhi_zazen | and if you are not using swap, memory tweaks are not going to get you anywhere | 16:30 |
| saint33 | and since 10.04 my system has run stable... | 16:30 |
| saint33 | you know how lxde uses blackbox themes for the titles... have you ever found a theme engine to allow blackbox themes on the actual controls as well ??? | 16:32 |
| bodhi_zazen | I do not think it uses blackbox, not sure about that one | 16:33 |
| bodhi_zazen | openbox | 16:33 |
| saint33 | *box themes for the titles only... for openbox... am kinda looking to get a gtk engine that lets you use the same theme for standard controls to tie in the look/feel/colours | 16:33 |
| Gege71 | hello | 16:35 |
| saint33 | hi Gege71 | 16:35 |
| saint33 | wb bodhi_zazen | 16:35 |
| saint33 | *box themes for the titles only... for openbox... am kinda looking to get a gtk engine that lets you use the same theme for standard controls to tie in the look/feel/colours | 16:35 |
| bodhi_zazen | doh -) wrong button | 16:37 |
| saint33 | :) | 16:37 |
| bodhi_zazen | lxappearance ? | 16:38 |
| saint33 | here's an example... I find a really nice openbox theme that I like, it changes the windows nicely but now I have to find a GTK theme to match the windows... | 16:39 |
| bodhi_zazen | yep | 16:39 |
| bodhi_zazen | gtk is separate from openbox | 16:39 |
| saint33 | what I would like is a gtk engine that lets you use the actual openbox theme for the buttons as well, windows etc. | 16:39 |
| saint33 | a gtk theme that changes as your openbox windows change.. so they match :) | 16:40 |
| bodhi_zazen | http://zenix-os.net/screenshots/openbox.html | 16:40 |
| bodhi_zazen | I do not know a front end that changes gtk themes and openbox theme at the same time | 16:42 |
| saint33 | am dreaming too much probably :) | 16:43 |
| saint33 | although I do like this one: http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/lifehacker/2009/09/3899654049_7eb94a24ff_o.png | 16:43 |
| bodhi_zazen | I prefer dark themes | 16:47 |
| saint33 | like this: http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs22/f/2007/337/b/f/Zenner_by_thrynk.png | 16:48 |
| saint33 | same theming only inverted for wallapper | 16:48 |
| bodhi_zazen | http://bodhizazen.net/img/gentoo.png | 16:49 |
| saint33 | ahh very nice, using tint2 ? | 16:49 |
| bodhi_zazen | saint33: my gentoo install uses 60 Mb at login | 16:50 |
| bodhi_zazen | yea, I prefer tint2 to the lxde panel | 16:50 |
| saint33 | am using Lubuntu for simplicity and 108mb at desktop | 16:50 |
| bodhi_zazen | http://bodhizazen.net/img/gma500/preview_blog.png | 16:53 |
| saint33 | http://i44.tinypic.com/1591eb.jpg my desktop | 16:53 |
| bodhi_zazen | http://bodhizazen.net/img/gma500/gma500_2.png | 16:53 |
| saint33 | nice, I love the minimal look | 16:53 |
| saint33 | and faenzxa icons :) | 16:53 |
| bioterror | my lubunt installation uses all the ram I have on this laptop :D | 16:53 |
| bodhi_zazen | It is a custom 12.04 remix | 16:54 |
| bioterror | so doesnt matter how much I have when this logs to desktop since starting chromium eats all | 16:54 |
| bodhi_zazen | 'lo bioterror | 16:54 |
| saint33 | havent updated just yet... 11.10 for now with a few added repo's and virtualbox for testing | 16:54 |
| bioterror | evening bodhi | 16:54 |
| saint33 | hi bio... yeah, I want my apps to use the available memory, not the OS (like windows) | 16:55 |
| saint33 | may i see your desktop bioterror | 16:58 |
| bioterror | lubuntu? | 16:59 |
| saint33 | yeah, I like to see how ppl have it setup :) | 16:59 |
| bioterror | saint33, quite like this: http://ricecows.org/lubuntu-11.10.png | 17:05 |
| saint33 | nice... I like your ocnky setup | 17:06 |
| saint33 | lol, and the hostname :) | 17:06 |
| saint33 | lemmie ask you something tho, is reiserfs worth using ? compared to ext4 ? | 17:07 |
| bioterror | not that much | 17:08 |
| bioterror | but stay away from the btrfs ;) | 17:08 |
| saint33 | lol, [phoronix] keep saying it's getting better, but not that much... I like ext4 for now | 17:08 |
| bioterror | ext4 is a golden path | 17:08 |
| bioterror | I've been experimenting with jfs, MurderFS and others ;) | 17:09 |
| saint33 | yeah I tried jfs and xfs once and wasn't impressed... ext4 with noatime and tmpfs works well enough for me | 17:09 |
| saint33 | am looking forward to testing noveau more than anything else with 12.04 | 17:12 |
| bioterror | xfs is solid! | 17:15 |
| bioterror | I have my video files on xfs | 17:15 |
| saint33 | my external HD is ext2... | 17:16 |
| saint33 | and any flash drive I boot from is ext2 as well... | 17:16 |
| bioterror | you can use ext4 without journaling :P | 17:17 |
| saint33 | I have ubuntu 11.10 on a flash drive so i can repair windows machines and formatted to ext2 so it cant get a virus incase I dont hit that boot from usb key quick enough :) | 17:19 |
| saint33 | thx for the advice guys, laters :) | 17:24 |
| Osmodivs_ | Hello. My multiple card reader device detects my CF and SD card, but cant open it, not even mount it | 18:33 |
| Osmodivs_ | sudo mount /dev/sdc1 | 18:33 |
| Osmodivs_ | mount: can't find /dev/sdc1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 18:33 |
| Osmodivs_ | How can I read my cards? | 18:33 |
| smile4ever | Osmodivs_: try sudo mkdir /dev/sdc1 | 18:33 |
| smile4ever | and then sudo mount /dev/sdc1 | 18:33 |
| smile4ever | but you have to specify what you want to mount | 18:33 |
| smile4ever | :p | 18:34 |
| Osmodivs_ | smile4ever, Well, in the Disk Utility, cards are detected as EOS_DIGITAL and CANON_DC and the first is detected in /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1 and the second card in /dev/sdc and /dev/sdc1 | 18:37 |
| Osmodivs_ | But I'll try what you suggested | 18:37 |
| Osmodivs_ | sudo mkdir /dev/sdc1 | 18:38 |
| Osmodivs_ | mkdir: cannot create directory `/dev/sdc1': File exists | 18:38 |
| Osmodivs_ | Hm... | 18:38 |
| Osmodivs_ | The Disk Utility tells me this: Error mounting: mount: /dev/sdc1 is not a valid block device | 18:40 |
| Osmodivs_ | How can I make Lubuntu read my CF and SD cards? They can't be mounted or read | 18:46 |
| Osmodivs_ | Well, the system detects them, Lubuntu just won't show it's contents | 18:47 |
| maximoto | hey i now can use the browser plus i now run ubuntu | 18:51 |
| Osmodivs_ | maximoto, Nice. Do you know how to solve this problem? Error mounting: mount: /dev/sdb1 is not a valid block device | 18:51 |
| maximoto | osmodivs: what is it for? a diver you are trying to detect | 18:53 |
| Osmodivs_ | maximoto, No, I want to read my CF and SD memory cards | 18:53 |
| Osmodivs_ | I can see them on the Disk utility, but can't mount them | 18:53 |
| maximoto | i believe you have to use a multi card reader | 18:55 |
| maximoto | usb port end | 18:55 |
| Osmodivs_ | maximoto, I have one... | 18:55 |
| Osmodivs_ | Ah, USB port end...hm... | 18:55 |
| maximoto | and it's not working? | 18:56 |
| Osmodivs_ | Like, what do you think is wrong with the one I have on my PC? | 18:56 |
| Osmodivs_ | Well, it is reading my cards, but Lubuntu won't show its contents, because can't mount them | 18:56 |
| maximoto | try file manager | 18:57 |
| Osmodivs_ | df -h | 18:57 |
| Osmodivs_ | Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on | 18:57 |
| Osmodivs_ | /dev/sda1 145G 74G 64G 54% / | 18:57 |
| Osmodivs_ | udev 2.0G 4.0K 2.0G 1% /dev | 18:57 |
| Osmodivs_ | tmpfs 792M 852K 792M 1% /run | 18:57 |
| Osmodivs_ | none 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock | 18:57 |
| Osmodivs_ | none 2.0G 312K 2.0G 1% /run/shm | 18:57 |
| maximoto | file manager normally works for me when i use the multi card reader, you will see your device at the left | 18:59 |
| Osmodivs_ | maximoto, Yes, I can see them, but can't read its contents | 18:59 |
| maximoto | does your card has a switch on it that reads lock | 19:00 |
| Osmodivs | Had to rebbot cause Lubuntu crashed... Anyway! Where was I? | 19:06 |
| Osmodivs | maximoto, Yeah, I can see the green LED, it is ON, but, can't mount it | 19:07 |
| Osmodivs | Thanks anyway | 19:11 |
| silverarrow | hi | 21:25 |
| silverarrow | anyone clever with lubuntu install that resist a bit | 21:26 |
| silverarrow | ? | 21:26 |
| silverarrow | I have trouble booting lubuntu on a HP laptop | 21:26 |
| gordonjcp | silverarrow: don't ask to ask | 21:26 |
| silverarrow | I boot up to a terminal like state | 21:27 |
| silverarrow | I get the initial boot choices, "try with no change to system" "install lubuntu" etc... | 21:28 |
| silverarrow | but after that, the terminal like state, which only says something about commands and "sudo" commands | 21:28 |
| silverarrow | I haven't found anything on this type of trouble googeling | 21:29 |
| silverarrow | any ideas? | 21:29 |
| silverarrow | gordonjcp: ? | 21:29 |
| silverarrow | I tried puppy linux and it boots fine | 21:30 |
| silverarrow | however I like something more stable like lubuntu or ubuntu | 21:30 |
| silverarrow | I have dual core cpu and 3GB ram | 21:31 |
| silverarrow | came originally with Vista | 21:31 |
| gordonjcp | silverarrow: really you'd need to give the actual error messages | 21:31 |
| silverarrow | laptop has hardly been used though, until now | 21:31 |
| silverarrow | I shall have to boot lubuntu and write down message | 21:31 |
| silverarrow | I thought it might be a known issue | 21:32 |
| silverarrow | I boot into a shell that states it allows for sudo comands | 21:32 |
| silverarrow | and I get no further | 21:32 |
| Osmodivs | Hello. How do I mount my CF memeory card? All I get is this message: mount: can't find sdc1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab | 22:49 |
| gordonjcp | Osmodivs: from the command line? | 22:50 |
| gordonjcp | you'd need to specify the device *and* the mount point | 22:50 |
| Osmodivs | gordonjcp: Yes, that's what I've been doing, but I can't | 22:50 |
| Osmodivs | gordonjcp: Can you tell me how? | 22:50 |
| gordonjcp | okay, are you sure that /dev/sdc1 is a valid filesystem? | 22:50 |
| Osmodivs | gordonjcp: That's what the Disk utility says, When I insert the CF card | 22:51 |
| gordonjcp | Osmodivs: you want something like "sudo mount /dev/disk /path/to/mountpoint" | 22:51 |
| Osmodivs | What is the "path to mount point? | 22:52 |
| Osmodivs | All I know is the /dev/sdc path | 22:52 |
| Osmodivs | I did not know of any other paths | 22:52 |
| gordonjcp | the path to the mount point | 22:53 |
| gordonjcp | wherever you want that to be | 22:53 |
| Osmodivs | gordonjcp: This is what I got: | 22:54 |
| Osmodivs | http://www.pasteall.org/pic/30186 | 22:54 |
| gordonjcp | I can't see that | 22:56 |
| Osmodivs | sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media | 22:56 |
| Osmodivs | mount: /dev/sdc1 is not a valid block device | 22:56 |
| gordonjcp | well that suggests that /dev/sdc1 is not really a partition on the card | 22:57 |
| gordonjcp | are you sure it says /dev/sdc1 and not /dev/sdc ? | 22:57 |
| Osmodivs | gordonjcp: Strange, my CF is FAT | 22:57 |
| Osmodivs | gordonjcp: I've had tried both with no success | 22:58 |
| gordonjcp | hm | 22:58 |
| gordonjcp | same error both times? | 22:58 |
| Osmodivs | sudo mount /dev/sdc /media | 22:58 |
| Osmodivs | mount: /dev/sdc is not a valid block device | 22:58 |
| gordonjcp | weird | 22:58 |
| Osmodivs | An I really need this 64GB CF for backup my files | 22:59 |
| Osmodivs | dang! | 22:59 |
| Osmodivs | trying to remove it safely says: | 23:01 |
| Osmodivs | Error detaching: helper exited with exit code 1: Detaching device /dev/sdc | 23:01 |
| Osmodivs | USB device: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1a.7/usb1/1-4) | 23:01 |
| Osmodivs | Cannot open /dev/sdc: No such device or address | 23:01 |
| gordonjcp | wow | 23:04 |
| gordonjcp | that doesn't sound great | 23:04 |
| Osmodivs | What could be wrong? | 23:05 |
| gordonjcp | I don't know, maybe you could check the output of dmesg when you plug the card in | 23:06 |
| Osmodivs | I have no idea on how to do that... | 23:08 |
| gordonjcp | open a terminal, type "dmesg" | 23:08 |
| gordonjcp | plug the CF card in, do it again | 23:08 |
| gordonjcp | see what it says | 23:08 |

| Osmodivs | It's gotta be that | 23:10 |
| gordonjcp | yowch | 23:10 |
| gordonjcp | sounds like your card is stuffed | 23:10 |
| Osmodivs | Stuffed? | 23:12 |
| Osmodivs | Like, no more room left? | 23:12 |
| gordonjcp | broken | 23:12 |
| Osmodivs | Oh, broken... | 23:12 |
| Osmodivs | BROKEN!? | 23:12 |
| gordonjcp | if you've got a different card reader or USB cable, give that a go | 23:12 |
| Osmodivs | Hm... perhaps my card reader is stuffed physically | 23:13 |
| Osmodivs | gordonjcp: Maybe, yes. I need another card reader, well, $30USD more to spend | 23:14 |
| gordonjcp | Osmodivs: a 64M CF card is probably quite old | 23:14 |
| gordonjcp | and they do have a finite lifespan | 23:14 |
| Osmodivs | gordonjcp: It is only 2 years old | 23:15 |
