[00:15] <Baios> can i fire away a question? dont rip on me...i have searched a bit on the forums but being a relative noob in linux i didnt get quite much
[00:15] <Baios> and i like irc a bit better to be honest
[01:48] <Shadius> Hey everybody. I was wonder, what would be the easiest way to defragment a 1 TB HDD?
[01:49] <Shadius> wondering*
[02:39] <holstein> Shadius: i would use a live CD... something like http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ ...but you shouldnt need to
[02:40] <holstein> check out http://www.ubun2.com/question/195/how_defrag_hard_disk_drive_ubuntu for example
[02:40] <Shadius> Oh wait, I forgot to mention that the filesystem is not EXT4, it's NTFS
[02:40] <Shadius> Sorry about that.
[02:41] <holstein> i would ask in a windows channel about what is recommended for the windows filesystem
[02:41] <Shadius> I know that EXT4 filesystems don't need to be defragmented like how NTFS filesystems need to.
[02:41] <holstein> i would let windows manage it
[02:41] <Shadius> Oh okay.
[02:42] <holstein> Shadius: you can try http://www.ehow.com/how_7209024_defragment-ntfs-linux.html ,but i have never used it
[02:43] <stlsaint> holstein: o/
[02:43] <stlsaint> whats question?
[02:43] <Shadius> Hmm...interesting.
[02:43] <Shadius> I will take a look at it.
[02:44] <holstein> stlsaint: you mean, what is Shadius 's question? i believe the short question is "how to defrag NTFS in linux"
[02:44] <Shadius> I'm more concerned about the time it would take to defragment a 1 TB HDD.
[02:44] <holstein> Shadius: i wouldnt expect anything to speed it up
[02:45] <stlsaint> there are some linux ntfs tools around but overall industry practice standards is to let windows handle ntfs if at all possible
[02:46] <Shadius> Ah, I understand.
[02:46] <holstein> if it were my drive, i would either let windows manage it, or move the data and change from NTFS
[02:47] <Shadius> Yeah, I'm trying to figure out what I would do with my NTFS 1 TB HDD when it comes time for defragmenting it.
[02:47] <Shadius> I don't want to sit there for hours letting it defragment.
[02:48] <holstein> i would do it overnight from windows...
[02:48] <Shadius> I was afraid of that LOL
[02:48] <stlsaint> Shadius: no getting around it
[02:49] <Shadius> Yeah, seems that way. Unfortunately. :(
[02:56] <Shadius> Thank you for your suggestions.
[04:50] <synthesist> Anyone good with USB problems in 12.04?
[04:50] <JoseeAntonioR> !details | synthesist
[04:50] <ubot2> synthesist: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."
[04:55] <synthesist> My USB HD Drives were available and automounted in Ubuntu 12.04 until I installed Edimax EW-7811Un USB wireless driver today.  Now if the Wireless is connected and working, my USB drives and other USB devices are either not appearing  as normal in Nautilus or functioning unreliably (i.e. my USB Mouse/Keyboard not working at boot).
[04:57] <synthesist> My internal drives are mounting properly, just the USB is whacky.
[04:58] <synthesist> They don't even show up in System Monitor or Disk Utility.
[05:05] <synthesist> Any ideas, anyone?
[05:08] <JoseeAntonioR> Sorry, had to leave a few mins ago.
[05:08] <JoseeAntonioR> synthesist: What package did you install?
[05:08] <synthesist> NP.  Thanks for your attention.  Package for the Wireless?
[05:09] <JoseeAntonioR> synthesist: Yes
[05:10] <JoseeAntonioR> synthesist: Did it install any extra packages?
[05:11] <synthesist> RTL8188C_8192C_8192D_USB_linux_v3.4.2_3727.20120404 from the Realtek website.  Supposed to be just the driver for the wireless chip.
[05:12] <synthesist> Which the Wireless works great now, but my USB is funky.
[05:14] <synthesist> Followed the instructions @ http://www.r-statistics.com/2011/11/edimax-ew-7811un-usb-wireless-connecting-to-a-network-on-ubuntu-11-10/ only exception was using the latest driver available and tweaking the directory it was looking for.
[05:16] <synthesist> It installed fine.  But then noticed my USB HD drives disappeared.  I rebooted and they appeared for a few minutes -  but soon after they disappeared.
[05:17] <JoseeAntonioR> synthesist: can you please pastebin the output of sudo lshw -short and give me the link?
[05:22] <synthesist> Not to sure how to pastebin or where, but I have the info you requested?

[05:34] <JoseeAntonioR> I can see your USB drives in the report, can you try connecting something now?
[05:45] <synthesist> The USB drives are not in the report - those are my internal SATA drives.
[05:47] <JoseeAntonioR> synthesist: I can see the USB ports in the report.
[05:58] <Space-Duck> I'm trying to install sqlite3 and use it in PHP. I installed the sqlite3 packages and then followed these steps ( http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8039665&postcount=6 ) to add the extension to apache. and now when I run my php I get this...
[05:58] <Space-Duck> PHP Warning:  PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/sqlite3.so' - /usr/lib/php5/20090626+lfs/sqlite3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
[05:58] <Space-Duck> What am I doing wrong?
[06:07] <synthesist> The ports perhaps, but not the drives attached to them.

[14:25] <jeppe> Hey. I was wondering if someone could help me out. I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop using a USB stick, but the install fails with a sequence of error messages, the last one being "ata 7: hard resetting link". I suspect it's something to do with my SSD. I don't have an HDD.

[18:39] <nicecrew> Can anyone help me run Ubuntu on my mac?
[18:40] <nicecrew> Anyone out there?

[18:43] <ubot2> Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience
[18:58] <Guest8045> Hi all, was just given an acer aspire one with absolutely nothing on it. Thought it might be good to try ubuntu. Just getting ready to install...any tips?
[19:06] <nicecrew> Hi all.
[19:06] <nicecrew> Ok, so I burned the iso.
[19:07] <nicecrew> It says, the iso burned sucessfully.
[19:07] <nicecrew> Now what?
[19:07] <nicecrew> Do i do?
[19:08] <escott> nicecrew, reboot and do whatever you need to make the mac boot from cd

[19:14] <nicecrew> Hi all.
[19:15] <nicecrew> So, I put it in at startup and nothing happened.
[19:15] <nicecrew> Just went to osx.
[19:15] <escott> !crosspost | nicecrew pick one channel or the other
[19:15] <ubot2> nicecrew pick one channel or the other: Please don't ask the same question in multiple Ubuntu channels at the same time. Many helpers are in more than one channel and it's not fair to them or the other people seeking support.
[19:16] <nicecrew> OK, so , just in this room. Does anyone know what's worng/
[19:17] <escott> nicecrew, you need to press some key to make the mac boot the cd
[19:17] <nicecrew> What key is that/
[19:17] <escott> nicecrew, no idea
[19:18] <nicecrew> How do I find out?

[20:06] <Chilaha> Hi all.

[22:01] <Baios> i ve installed ubuntu on my work place,is there an easy way to join the domain of our server there? (i ve also installed it at home trying to get used to it but with the xubuntu desktop)

[22:07] <stlsaint> Baios: server?
[22:07] <gigix> Baios, that's how irc works :)
[22:07] <stlsaint> Baios: you need to ask your server admins on how to join the domain. Your talking authentication...real of LDAP
[22:07] <stlsaint> s/real/realm

[22:43] <EdD> Hi all...
[22:46] <EdD> I'm hoping someone can helpme out. Making ths jumpto convert a 3 yr old box to Ubuntu. Installed on a brand new out of the box HD. Install seemed to go well, but reboot leaves me DOA. Gets past the screen with the 5 dots, then shows my wallpaper with a small taskbar-like line across the top. Everything holds there for 2-3 minutes, then goes to something that looks seriously weird...
[22:46] <EdD> black screen with 2 bars that look like they could be the entire content of the screen mashed down to an inch tall. Any thoughts?
[22:54] <stlsaint> EdD: can you provide any errors
