[01:41] <davkbod-ld__> Greetings..the discussion continues.. I'm seeming to have issues with zoneminder, doesn't want to allow me to install anything..got some log clips.
[01:45] <davkbod-ld__> I'm trying to resolve a display issue of file windows with black on black, which is making it hard to see.
[01:45] <davkbod-ld__> but if I can't install any packages...
[02:20] <davkbod-ld__> bbs
[04:39] <jedismasher> i was wondering if there was any mp3 encoding software that i could use to broadcast to my icecast server
[08:03] <fahmyboy> Hi
[08:03] <fahmyboy> is anyone home?
[08:03] <mysteriousdarren> yes
[08:04] <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
[08:05] <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?
[08:06] <fahmyboy> first thing first, I would like to customize the look and feel and then get used to the linux command line
[08:07] <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
[08:08] <fahmyboy> speed is also good.
[08:09] <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?
[08:11] <bioterror> zmalex, you can always use dpkg -P package
[08:11] <fahmyboy> not just that, widgets that provide system information, etc
[08:21] <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
[08:22] <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?
[08:23] <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
[08:24] <fahmyboy> Should I install all those from command line or through the Software Centre?
[08:25] <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
[08:26] <zmalex> bioterror: I tried apt-get install --reinstall jetty
[08:26] <zmalex> bioterror: How do I go about forcing it?
[08:27] <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
[08:28] <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.
[08:29] <zmalex> sorry about the dump
[08:31] <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 ;)
[08:32] <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?
[08:33] <zmalex> bioterror: what does that mean? What can I do with it?
[08:33] <bioterror> zmalex, go to that location and locate the jetty
[08:34] <mysteriousdarren> fahmyboy: I would recommend firestarter for you
[08:34] <zmalex> bioterror: Found it
[08:35] <bioterror> zmalex, dpkg -i --force-all jetty-something.deb
[08:35] <fahmyboy> ok, installing
[08:37] <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
[08:38] <fahmyboy> are these instead or in addition to Unity?
[08:39] <zmalex1> bioterror: Ok. It seemed to do something. But the folder structure doesn't look right. Any other steps?
[08:40] <bioterror> what?
[08:40] <zmalex1> bioterror: apt-get built a different structure then I get using dpkg.
[08:41] <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?
[08:42] <zmalex1> it finished without errors
[08:42] <bioterror> good
[08:42] <bioterror> now sudo apt-get purge jetty
[08:43] <zmalex1> get error

[08:44] <zmalex1> Thanks for your hlep
[08:44] <zmalex1> help
[08:44] <mysteriousdarren> fahmyboy: you mean using unity as a desktop environment? or change that?

[08:54] <fahmyboy> Thanks Darren
[08:59] <mysteriousdarren> fahmyboy: your welcome
[10:25] <fahmyboy> Darren-Are you still around?
[13:28] <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
[13:29] <r4y> It has Ubuntu 10.04
[14:10] <holstein> r4y: i would test the hard drive and make sure its good
[14:12] <r4y> gaelfx is currently helping my on the ubuntu channel
[14:13] <r4y> I ran the 3 tests it had and it passed
[14:14] <holstein> r4y: i would just run one test, and i would expect it to take over an hour
[14:16] <r4y> One of the tests took a little more than an hour
[14:16] <r4y> It still said no bad sectors
[14:17] <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
[14:18] <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
[14:19] <holstein> r4y: gparted is the tool to use
[14:20] <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?
[14:21] <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
[14:22] <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
[14:23] <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
[14:25] <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..
[14:28] <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
[14:29] <r4y> I made note of it
[14:31] <r4y> OK, sorry about that
[14:31] <r4y> I will un-mount my flash drive and try again
[14:32] <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?
[14:33] <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
[14:34] <holstein> r4y: make certain... this is your hardware, and you dont want to waste hours mounting a drive that is not connected
[14:36] <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
[14:37] <r4y> No, under disk utility it is shown as busy and is not mounted
[14:38] <holstein> r4y: close *everything* and mount it from the terminal and report errors
[14:40] <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
[14:41] <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
[14:42] <r4y> Ah, OK
[14:42] <r4y> What's "df -H"
[14:43] <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?
[14:44] <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?
[14:45] <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
[14:46] <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
[14:47] <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
[14:48] <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?
[14:49] <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
[14:50] <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
[14:51] <r4y> OK, OK, ha ha ha, I should have known, duh
[14:51] <r4y> I'll back back
[14:51] <r4y> O No
[14:52] <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?
[14:53] <intore> holstein, gnome
[14:53] <holstein> intore: ok.. it was called sessions in 10.04... but you'll find it
[14:55] <intore> holstein, but is it a folder or what?
[14:56] <holstein> intore: its a GUI.. its got a box... you type the command you want to have start with your session
[14:58] <intore> holstein, i don't understand, am sorry. am newbie
[15:00] <holstein> intore: its in the menu... or it was.. in the system tab.. its either "sessions" or "startup" or "startup session"
[15:06] <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
[15:07] <holstein> r4y: big picture for me what exactly you are trying to do
[15:07] <r4y> I guess I don't need it.
[15:08] <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
[15:09] <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
[15:10] <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?
[15:11] <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
[15:12] <r4y> TY
[15:12] <r4y> take care
[15:13] <r4y> I did sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/ubuntu and it's still blinking
[15:15] <r4y> bioterror, could you fish the link I want that I posted on the Ubuntu channel which was from the Ubuntu forums, pretty please?
[15:21] <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
[15:52] <r4y> OMG, I got my hard drive mixed up. I still have my data
[15:53] <r4y> I wondering what happened though with that other hard drive
[15:53] <r4y> sorry for my bad typing as usual
[15:54] <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
[15:55] <r4y> when I say bad, spinrite said it is good
[15:55] <r4y> I gotta go
[16:04] <s-fox> Goodbye.

[22:06] <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
[22:08] <davkbod-ld__> to chnge colors, need to address color scheme for windows elements (title bar, menus, etc)
[22:11] <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
[22:13] <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
[22:14] <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.
[22:15] <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?
[22:16] <Kristoffer> asus
[22:16] <Kristoffer> asus ul30a
[22:16] <davkbod-ld__> Have a seat, I'll be a moment..
[22:16] <Kristoffer> thanks
[22:17] <Kristoffer> anyone norwegians here, who might help?
[22:18] <Kristoffer> any*
[22:18] <davkbod-ld__> If you stick a USB stick in with, say , pictures, could you see those files?
[22:19] <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
[22:20] <davkbod-ld__> OK, have you looked at BIOS settings? Some BIOS will not allow you to boot from a USB.
[22:21] <davkbod-ld__> But there's usually a setting to allow it to happen..
[22:22] <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...
[22:23] <davkbod-ld__> Not sure about ASUS, but Dell the F-key is F-12 for BIOS Boot menu
[22:25] <Kristoffer> yeah, i know about the f-12 option, but during booting there is no time or option to push it
[22:28] <davkbod-ld__> What happens if you hit delete (DEL) key while booting??
[22:29] <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
[22:30] <Fyodorovna> menu
[22:32] <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
[22:35] <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.
