[04:00] <Charleey> Hello, im having a problem with my laptop and cdrom, every cd i put in it reads as if it was empty, have tried same cds with another pc and work fine, any help?
[04:01] <Charleey> and i just rebooted and it does absolutely nothing when i put it in, no msges or anything
[04:08] <bioterror> does it read them?
[04:08] <Charleey> nope
[04:09] <Charleey> eject works but thats pretty much it
[04:10] <bioterror> how about mounting manually?
[04:12] <Charleey> it says /dev/sr0 is alredy mounted
[04:12] <bioterror> and if you say mount
[04:12] <bioterror> where is it mounted?
[04:22] <Charleey> hmm i tried an installation cd and it worked
[04:22] <Charleey> guess it was the cd
[11:36] <LennyNero> Hello, some CD/DVD burning guru around? Need help...
[11:38] <Blazemore|Work> Ask your question
[11:40] <LennyNero> I burned a DVD5 disc with udf ( needed for a file >4GB ) and it broke the UTF-8 encoding of a  text file - the text file is completely garbage
[11:42] <LennyNero> but the burned binary  file is OK
[11:52] <geirha> yikes, it mangled the file's content?
[11:56] <LennyNero> geirha: yes, at leat it's encoding
[11:57] <geirha> Is the burned file identical to the original or not? e.g. do their md5sums match?
[12:02] <LennyNero> geirha: no, md5sums do not match - but K3B reported succesfull burning (Verify writen data was set ON)
[12:06] <LennyNero> md5sum-ing the binaries now...
[12:07] <geirha> So possibly it tries to handle text files specially, so that they'll "look good" in windows, linux and mac alike
[12:08] <Blazemore|Work> How can I alias "pro foo" to "ps aux | grep foo | grep -v grep"
[12:10] <LennyNero> geirha: no, it's not the problem with CRLF vs LF
[12:11] <LennyNero> geirha: the md5sums of the binaries are the same
[12:13] <geirha> LennyNero: What I mean is, it possibly stores the text file in such a way that when you mount the dvd on windows, text files will have a windows codepage and CRLF line endings.
[12:13] <geirha> In order to do that though, you'd have to know the initial encoding on the file at the creation of the filesystem
[12:15] <geirha> I hardly know anything about udf, so that's just a wild wild guess
[12:15] <LennyNero> geirha: I am using Ubuntu 12.04 only
[12:17] <LennyNero> geirha: the text file is in UTF-8
[12:18] <geirha> And when you setup the burning session, there's no options regarding character encoding?
[12:23] <LennyNero> geirha: I think that all file system setting (ISO9660 or UDF etc) are related to file names, no their content....
[12:24] <geirha> LennyNero: Well, somehow your text file got mangled, so either it's a bad burn of sorts, or udf handles text files specially
[12:25] <geirha> Or perhaps k3b does something nasty
[13:03] <LennyNero> geirha: no success on Win -  the text file aslo broken - conclusion: UDF burning is broken.... thanx, bye
[16:48] <Calahan> Hi, is there a way to prevent users from changing their ident?
[16:56] <Calahan> Anyone could please help me understand how can i set fixed ident?
[17:03] <cortman> what do you mean Calahan ?
[17:40] <Clone2> hello
[17:41] <bioterror> hi
[17:42] <Clone2> can someone explain the package system in linux?
[17:45] <Calahan> cortman i figured it out oidentd was what i wanted
[17:46] <Calahan> Clone2 i think easier to ask what exactly you want to do?
[17:47] <Calahan> Clone2 apt-get and aptitude are commants for finding and installing packages.
[17:47] <bioterror> Clone2, yes
[17:47] <Calahan> Clone2 https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/package-management.html
[17:47] <bioterror> !apt | Clone2
[17:47] <ubot2`> Clone2: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE)
[17:48] <bioterror> that technically gives you the tools for about everything ;)
[17:48] <Clone2> thanks guys
[20:44] <Medialeakz> Hello
[20:44] <Medialeakz> :)
[20:44] <Medialeakz> Am i in the right channel ?
[20:44] <Medialeakz> LOL
[20:44] <holstein> Medialeakz: depends.. what channel are you looking for?
[20:44] <Medialeakz> I just need some help installing mysql database server
[20:45] <holstein> Medialeakz: you can always check the /topic right when you /join a channel and see if its where you want to be, and if there are any guidelines
[20:45] <holstein> Medialeakz: you can always open whatever package manager you are comfortable using and search mysql
[20:45] <holstein> here are a few other options...
[20:46] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[20:46] <Medialeakz> I've installed it. Somewhere down the line i did something wrong.
[20:46] <Medialeakz> :(
[20:46] <holstein> though, that will be the entire LAMP stack...
[20:46] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/mysql.html is just mysql
[20:46] <holstein> sorry... https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/mysql.html
[20:47] <Medialeakz> LOL
[20:47] <holstein> also, if you are new to servers, you might want to consider something like http://www.turnkeylinux.org/lampstack
[20:47] <holstein> they are ubuntu based, and come preconfigured, and also run great live if you want/need to test something
[20:48] <holstein> Medialeakz: if you've installed it, then you dont need help installing it.. you can share error messages if you like, and we can see what we can do
[20:49] <Medialeakz> Okay
[20:49] <Medialeakz> This is my first time installing Ubuntu
[20:50] <holstein> Medialeakz: then, i would suggest one of the turnkey linux versions...
[20:51] <Medialeakz> I have installed webmin,
[20:51] <Medialeakz> I am so lost.
[20:51] <Medialeakz> LOL
[20:52] <holstein> Medialeakz: that comes pre configured on those live CD's i linked
[20:52] <holstein> Medialeakz: you can literally take full semester long classes on mysql
[20:53] <holstein> to come to an IRC channel and expect to "learn" it, might be a bit ambitious
[20:53] <holstein> i learned a lot from running te turnkey live environments, and theres no reason why you cant install them and use them, since they are ubuntu
[20:54] <Medialeakz> So Turnkey is another version of Ubuntu ?
[20:55] <holstein> Medialeakz: turnkey uses ubuntu, and "configures" things, such as the things you are asking about.. so its arguably easier for a new comer
[20:55] <holstein> they use ubuntu as the base
[20:56] <holstein> you can download one, try it live... hate it, kick it out and never use it.. you can run it live, kind of half like it, and learn about how mysql works and maybe help get your system working
[20:56] <holstein> you can love it, and just install it and use it...
[20:56] <holstein> a broad spectrum,... but, unless you are willing to do some serious research and study, i would try the turnkey
[20:57] <holstein> theres a reason why these systems have admins and techs that go to school and study for years to get where they are
[20:57] <holstein> its not something you'll sneak up on overnight
[20:58] <Medialeakz> Okay
[20:58] <Medialeakz> Let me try it.
[20:58] <Medialeakz> :)
