| jedismasher | i was wondering if there was any mp3 encoding software that i could use to broadcast to my icecast server | 04:39 |
| fahmyboy | Hi | 08:03 |
| fahmyboy | is anyone home? | 08:03 |
| mysteriousdarren | yes | 08:03 |
| fahmyboy | I have Linux 12.04 installed | 08:04 |
| fahmyboy | and all my drivers working | 08:04 |
| fahmyboy | and I would like to the next step | 08:04 |
| fahmyboy | regarding apps and customization, etc | 08:04 |
| mysteriousdarren | fahmyboy: what are you looking to do? | 08:05 |
| zmalex | hi. I have a problem repairing my jetty installation. apt-get remove says it's not installed while apt-get install says it is. | 08:05 |
| zmalex | Anyway for me to reset it? | 08:05 |
| fahmyboy | first thing first, I would like to customize the look and feel and then get used to the linux command line | 08:06 |
| mysteriousdarren | fahmyboy: do you like the environment? and how that looks? speed? are you using unity? | 08:07 |
| fahmyboy | and then I would like to start learning how to do my most common use cases using Linux. for example, sync my ipod | 08:07 |
| fahmyboy | I like it so far. I dont mind unity at all. Reminds me of the mac | 08:07 |
| fahmyboy | I like the heads up display | 08:07 |
| fahmyboy | reminds me of google search for menu items | 08:07 |
| fahmyboy | speed is also good. | 08:08 |
| mysteriousdarren | fahmyboy: change icons? colors? is that what your looking for? | 08:09 |
| bioterror | zmalex, did you install it by using apt-get? or did you use dpkg? | 08:09 |
| bioterror | zmalex, you can always use dpkg -P package | 08:11 |
| fahmyboy | not just that, widgets that provide system information, etc | 08:11 |
| zmalex | bioterror: I used apt-get to install it. But I messed up by removing in manually and now I'm stuck between apt-get install saying it is installed and apt-get remove saying it | 08:21 |
| zmalex | it's not there. | 08:22 |
| bioterror | removing it manually? | 08:22 |
| bioterror | explain more | 08:22 |
| bioterror | what did you do | 08:22 |
| bioterror | you went to rm -rf files? | 08:22 |
| fahmyboy | my Darren. Those all seems far more important than look and feel | 08:23 |
| fahmyboy | I will install those applications first | 08:23 |
| fahmyboy | I currently dont have a firewall or an antivirus | 08:23 |
| fahmyboy | Should I install all those from command line or through the Software Centre? | 08:24 |
| mysteriousdarren | fahmyboy: how are you most comfortable? gui for most people is easier | 08:25 |
| zmalex | bioterror: Yup :) | 08:25 |
| zmalex | So the package manager is now pretty confused | 08:25 |
| bioterror | zmalex, force reinstall it | 08:25 |
| zmalex | bioterror: I tried apt-get install --reinstall jetty | 08:26 |
| zmalex | bioterror: How do I go about forcing it? | 08:26 |
| bioterror | sudoa apt-get install --force-yes jetty | 08:27 |
| bioterror | could that do it | 08:27 |
| bioterror | -a | 08:27 |
| zmalex | -a? | 08:27 |
| zmalex | oh | 08:27 |
| zmalex | got it | 08:27 |
| fahmyboy | I would like to get more comfortable with the command line as it seems most internet help results in a sudo command | 08:27 |
| fahmyboy | and I would like to start understanding what those mean | 08:27 |
| mysteriousdarren | sudo apt-get something usually you can learn that later. | 08:28 |
| zmalex | bioterror: Reading package lists... Done | 08:28 |
| zmalex | Building dependency tree | 08:28 |
| zmalex | Reading state information... Done | 08:28 |
| zmalex | jetty is already the newest version. | 08:28 |
| zmalex | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 10 not upgraded. | 08:28 |
| zmalex | 1 not fully installed or removed. | 08:28 |
| zmalex | After this operation, 0 B of additional disk space will be used. | 08:28 |
| zmalex | Do you want to continue [Y/n]? y | 08:28 |
| zmalex | Setting up jetty (6.1.24-6ubuntu0.11.10.1) ... | 08:28 |
| zmalex | * jetty is not installed | 08:28 |
| zmalex | invoke-rc.d: initscript jetty, action "start" failed. | 08:28 |
| zmalex | dpkg: error processing jetty (--configure): | 08:28 |
| zmalex | subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 08:28 |
| zmalex | Errors were encountered while processing: | 08:28 |
| mysteriousdarren | go in the software center this time. | 08:28 |
| zmalex | sorry about the dump | 08:29 |
| bioterror | zmalex, now you can slap yourself on your both cheecks :D | 08:31 |
| zmalex | done | 08:31 |
| bioterror | one for removing files with rm -rf and one for flooding ;) | 08:31 |
| bioterror | zmalex, you probably have that file under /var/cache/apt/archives/ | 08:32 |
| fahmyboy | mysteriousdarren: thank you for all your help btw | 08:32 |
| fahmyboy | which firewall do you install? | 08:32 |
| zmalex | bioterror: what does that mean? What can I do with it? | 08:33 |
| bioterror | zmalex, go to that location and locate the jetty | 08:33 |
| mysteriousdarren | fahmyboy: I would recommend firestarter for you | 08:34 |
| zmalex | bioterror: Found it | 08:34 |
| bioterror | zmalex, dpkg -i --force-all jetty-something.deb | 08:35 |
| fahmyboy | ok, installing | 08:35 |
| zmalex1 | bioterror: Sorry. Managed to quit irc | 08:37 |
| mysteriousdarren | fahmyboy: there are many different themes to try out, and docks instead of panels | 08:37 |
| bioterror | Thu11:35 <bioterror> zmalex, dpkg -i --force-all jetty-something.deb | 08:37 |
| zmalex1 | thanks | 08:37 |
| fahmyboy | are these instead or in addition to Unity? | 08:38 |
| zmalex1 | bioterror: Ok. It seemed to do something. But the folder structure doesn't look right. Any other steps? | 08:39 |
| bioterror | what? | 08:40 |
| zmalex1 | bioterror: apt-get built a different structure then I get using dpkg. | 08:40 |
| bioterror | apt-get uses dpkg for installing packages | 08:41 |
| zmalex1 | hmm. do i need to run a config step? | 08:41 |
| bioterror | zmalex1, did it install it? | 08:41 |
| zmalex1 | it finished without errors | 08:42 |
| bioterror | good | 08:42 |
| bioterror | now sudo apt-get purge jetty | 08:42 |
| zmalex1 | get error | 08:43 |

| zmalex1 | Thanks for your hlep | 08:44 |

| r4y | I am having hard drive troubles and want to update grub to get init back but I can't mount it from a live cd | 13:28 |
| r4y | It has Ubuntu 10.04 | 13:29 |
| holstein | r4y: i would test the hard drive and make sure its good | 14:10 |
| r4y | gaelfx is currently helping my on the ubuntu channel | 14:12 |
| r4y | I ran the 3 tests it had and it passed | 14:13 |
| holstein | r4y: i would just run one test, and i would expect it to take over an hour | 14:14 |
| r4y | One of the tests took a little more than an hour | 14:16 |
| r4y | It still said no bad sectors | 14:16 |
| holstein | then, you can run the live cd, run sudo fdisk -l | 14:17 |
| holstein | if its listed there, then mount it using the command line and report errors | 14:17 |
| r4y | I couldn't get it to mount using disk utility before using the live cd | 14:18 |
| holstein | r4y: cool.. try from the command line, and report errors, and we can see whats going on | 14:18 |
| holstein | r4y: gparted is the tool to use | 14:19 |
| r4y | http://paste.ubuntu.com/964736/ | 14:20 |
| r4y | are you on the ubuntu channel as well? | 14:20 |
| holstein | r4y: is that what you expect to see? | 14:20 |
| holstein | r4y: is the drive listed? | 14:21 |
| holstein | i see 2 drives, one is fat32 | 14:21 |
| r4y | Because like I said gaelfx is currently helping my on the ubuntu channel | 14:21 |
| holstein | r4y: cool.. let me know if you need any help from me | 14:21 |
| r4y | O, I am sorry, I have a flah drive plugged in for making notes | 14:21 |
| holstein | you mount from the command line, tel me the erros, and we're done | 14:22 |
| r4y | Sorry, I really did want help from you. He said use pastebinit, so I am installing it but it is stuck installing | 14:22 |
| holstein | r4y: just put it in pastebin.. you dont *need* pastebinit.. if its hanging you up | 14:23 |
| r4y | OK, that's what I thought | 14:23 |
| r4y | I am trying to go back to where he and I left off by reading back on what he said | 14:25 |
| holstein | r4y: sure.. or just mount the drive, assuming its showing up in fdisk.. | 14:25 |
| r4y | OK, sorry, I just wanted to see this line he said to make sure I didn't miss anything important, sorry : quote "type sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit -- paste the url here, so the channel can see" | 14:28 |
| r4y | That's neat | 14:28 |
| r4y | I made note of it | 14:29 |
| r4y | OK, sorry about that | 14:31 |
| r4y | I will un-mount my flash drive and try again | 14:31 |
| holstein | r4y: if you dont see the drive in fdisk, you wont be able to mount it | 14:32 |
| r4y | http://paste.ubuntu.com/964754/ | 14:32 |
| holstein | r4y: is that the drive you are trying to mount? | 14:32 |
| r4y | Yes | 14:33 |
| r4y | Or at least I think so | 14:33 |
| holstein | r4y: make certain | 14:33 |
| r4y | I don't see any other hard drive connected, so I am assuming yes | 14:33 |
| holstein | r4y: assume nothing | 14:33 |
| holstein | r4y: make certain... this is your hardware, and you dont want to waste hours mounting a drive that is not connected | 14:34 |
| r4y | "/dev/sda1 is what I think it is, but it is connected. It is shown as a 315 GB filesystem under places and 320 under Diskd Utitilty" | 14:36 |
| holstein | r4y: cool... its mounted then | 14:36 |
| r4y | No, under disk utility it is shown as busy and is not mounted | 14:37 |
| holstein | r4y: close *everything* and mount it from the terminal and report errors | 14:38 |
| r4y | "sudo mount /dev/sda1", what am I missing? | 14:40 |
| r4y | I haven't used it yet | 14:40 |
| holstein | r4y: where you want it to be mounted | 14:40 |
| r4y | "/mnt/ubuntu" | 14:41 |
| holstein | http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/mount-drive-from-command-line-ubuntu-linux/ | 14:41 |
| r4y | I was following a giude that made the dir I pasted here | 14:41 |
| r4y | Ah, OK | 14:42 |
| r4y | What's "df -H" | 14:42 |
| holstein | r4y: flags.. i would need to refer to a wiki or the man page | 14:43 |
| holstein | i *dont* copy and paste commands without researching them | 14:43 |
| r4y | so should I just do "sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ubuntu" then? | 14:43 |
| holstein | r4y: do what you feel comfortable doing... that is what i would do, and then i would troubleshoot the errors | 14:44 |
| intore | hi, i need to mount a remote fs and i created this script but am not sure is correct. first of all, how do i have to do to have a script that runs at the boot? | 14:44 |
| holstein | intore: you can add them in the GUI... should be "startup" or "sessions"... something like that depending on what operating system you are running | 14:45 |
| r4y | Cool, I am waiting for the terminal to do something. I may need to make note of this and come back after reboot the live cd, because I had tried to mount it using Disk Utility but a window popped up saying it timed out | 14:46 |
| r4y | so I assumed which you are right I should assume anything would be OK | 14:46 |
| r4y | I shouldn't assume I ment | 14:47 |
| r4y | fixed: so I assumed which you are right I shouldn't assume anything would be OK | 14:47 |
| r4y | I will wait for the terminal for a while though | 14:48 |
| holstein | r4y: no need | 14:48 |
| intore | holstein, i've 11.10. i found a little howto: copy the script in /etc/init.d/ and type sudo update-rc.d monta.sh defaults. Could be correct? | 14:48 |
| holstein | intore: is it working? | 14:48 |
| r4y | no need for what?, I am sorry | 14:49 |
| intore | holstein, no but i don't know if is for incorrect script or about this procedure | 14:49 |
| holstein | intore: i would suggest trying the GUI i mentioned | 14:50 |
| intore | holstein, i don't know how is with GUI | 14:50 |
| holstein | r4y: no need to "wait on the terminal" it should take at most a few seconds to mount.. restarting is not a bad idea | 14:50 |
| r4y | OK, OK, ha ha ha, I should have known, duh | 14:51 |
| r4y | I'll back back | 14:51 |
| r4y | O No | 14:51 |
| holstein | intore: its really similar to what i said, though im not sure what operating system you are using | 14:52 |
| holstein | in gnome2 i beleive is called "sessions".. but i would just search or find "startup" and add and test | 14:52 |
| intore | holstein, ubuntu 11.10 | 14:52 |
| holstein | intore: so, you are in unity? | 14:52 |
| holstein | or gnome? | 14:52 |
| intore | holstein, gnome | 14:53 |
| holstein | intore: ok.. it was called sessions in 10.04... but you'll find it | 14:53 |
| intore | holstein, but is it a folder or what? | 14:55 |
| holstein | intore: its a GUI.. its got a box... you type the command you want to have start with your session | 14:56 |
| intore | holstein, i don't understand, am sorry. am newbie | 14:58 |
| holstein | intore: its in the menu... or it was.. in the system tab.. its either "sessions" or "startup" or "startup session" | 15:00 |
| r4y | I can't get into the irc ubuntu logs to find a link I was using which I should have pasted into the text file on my flash drive | 15:06 |
| bioterror | if you're kind enough, I might grep it | 15:06 |
| holstein | r4y: big picture for me what exactly you are trying to do | 15:07 |
| r4y | I guess I don't need it. | 15:07 |
| r4y | but that doesn't mean I wouldn't have asked with a please | 15:08 |
| r4y | I want to make a directory with the terminal but I also wanted the link, but like I said I guess I don't need it | 15:08 |
| holstein | r4y: no.. what are you trying to do? | 15:09 |
| holstein | you want to make a directory to troubleshoot the mounting issue | 15:09 |
| holstein | whats the goal? | 15:09 |
| holstein | mkdir is the "make directory" command | 15:09 |
| r4y | make a directory to mount to, if it was me I would do gksudo nautilus because I don't use the make dir command | 15:09 |
| r4y | It's not that I don't want to use the commandline though | 15:10 |
| holstein | r4y: you dont have to.. just dont get side tracked making a directory when thats not the issue | 15:10 |
| holstein | r4y: what are you trying to do? | 15:10 |
| r4y | I wanted the link not just because for making a command, but it's just a link | 15:11 |
| holstein | mkdir /path/to/file | 15:11 |
| holstein | r4y: good luck! i gotta run :) | 15:11 |
| r4y | make "mkdir /mnt/ubuntu" or what ever | 15:11 |
| r4y | TY | 15:12 |
| r4y | take care | 15:12 |
| r4y | I did sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ubuntu and it's still blinking | 15:13 |
| r4y | bioterror, could you fish the link I want that I posted on the Ubuntu channel which was from the Ubuntu forums, pretty please? | 15:15 |
| r4y | I just found this link: http://superuser.com/questions/278864/cant-mount-hard-drive-ubuntu | 15:21 |
| r4y | This is an ext4 hard drive I think | 15:21 |
| r4y | It is | 15:21 |
| r4y | OMG, I got my hard drive mixed up. I still have my data | 15:52 |
| r4y | I wondering what happened though with that other hard drive | 15:53 |
| r4y | sorry for my bad typing as usual | 15:53 |
| r4y | Well, I have another hard drive I can use to back up. And I am thinking of using the bad hard drive like a flash drive | 15:54 |
| r4y | I mean the one with no grub | 15:54 |
| r4y | when I say bad, spinrite said it is good | 15:55 |
| r4y | I gotta go | 15:55 |

| davkbod-ld__ | Online | 21:59 |
| davkbod-ld__ | Once you run the Unity 2-D panel by clicking on it, how do you access the panel? other than text in top bar changing from black to green (even harder to read) don't know control methods | 22:06 |
| davkbod-ld__ | to chnge colors, need to address color scheme for windows elements (title bar, menus, etc) | 22:08 |
| Kristoffer | can anyone help me with installing the latest version of ubuntu on my laptop? | 22:11 |
| davkbod-ld__ | at moment, tilebar is black on white (black text on white backround), however, file window (right pane) is black on black. Icons in the file window are grey and yellow, and if I select one, name of file or directory appears in black/grey. a | 22:11 |
| Kristoffer | i would very much appreciate some help asap | 22:13 |
| davkbod-ld__ | Kristoffer - has your laptop a CD/DVD player | 22:13 |
| davkbod-ld__ | ? | 22:13 |
| Kristoffer | no | 22:13 |
| davkbod-ld__ | USB port? | 22:14 |
| Kristoffer | i installed the .iso file on a thumb drive, but it won't appear when i boot my laptop | 22:14 |
| davkbod-ld__ | sounds like laptop not seeing USB Port. | 22:14 |
| Kristoffer | yes, and i don't know what to do | 22:15 |
| davkbod-ld__ | USB Ports usable otherwise? | 22:15 |
| Kristoffer | i tried installing the "easy windows installer" from the ubuntu website, but it doesn't work | 22:15 |
| Kristoffer | yes, they are working | 22:15 |
| davkbod-ld__ | What model laptop, who make? | 22:15 |
| Kristoffer | asus | 22:16 |
| Kristoffer | asus ul30a | 22:16 |
| davkbod-ld__ | Have a seat, I'll be a moment.. | 22:16 |
| Kristoffer | thanks | 22:16 |
| Kristoffer | anyone norwegians here, who might help? | 22:17 |
| Kristoffer | any* | 22:18 |
| davkbod-ld__ | If you stick a USB stick in with, say , pictures, could you see those files? | 22:18 |
| Kristoffer | yes, everything is working when the computer is on. only problem is that my laptop doesn't detect the thumbdrive when i boot | 22:19 |
| Kristoffer | it just boots windows directly, without giving me an option to choose otherwise | 22:19 |
| davkbod-ld__ | OK, have you looked at BIOS settings? Some BIOS will not allow you to boot from a USB. | 22:20 |
| davkbod-ld__ | But there's usually a setting to allow it to happen.. | 22:21 |
| davkbod-ld__ | Other BIOSs allow you to during the boot process, press an F-Key to enable booting from other than HD..they might even have Boot Order.. | 22:22 |
| davkbod-ld__ | Check those out... | 22:22 |
| davkbod-ld__ | Not sure about ASUS, but Dell the F-key is F-12 for BIOS Boot menu | 22:23 |
| Kristoffer | yeah, i know about the f-12 option, but during booting there is no time or option to push it | 22:25 |
| davkbod-ld__ | What happens if you hit delete (DEL) key while booting?? | 22:28 |
| Kristoffer | nothing. tried f-12, esc, delete, ctrl+alt+delete | 22:29 |
| Fyodorovna | Kristoffer, you hit the boot menu key prompt after the power on during the bios gui which may tell you the key or keys to hit to choose to boot from | 22:29 |
| Fyodorovna | menu | 22:30 |
| Kristoffer | problem is that when i start my computer, it jumps right to the windows logo and then i log in. I have no opportunity at all to actually push f-12. i have done this on other computers, which say that "press f-12 blabla" durin booting, but my laptop doesn't | 22:32 |
| Fyodorovna | Kristoffer, not all computers use f12 look up the manula for this computer on line opr boot from menu key prompts. | 22:35 |
| davkbod-ld__ | OK, what happens if you try pressing F-8, or F-10 | 22:35 |
| Kristoffer | I will reboot and try, thanks for the help so far! | 22:35 |
| Fyodorovna | some times it is a number of keys so I would look it up rather then hunt and peck to be honest. | 22:35 |
