| w30 | I have a GOFlex 1 terabyte drive with some corrupted files. How do I identify what files system checker to run on it? | 00:20 |
|---|---|---|
| w30 | I have a GOFlex usb drive with a ntfs file system, what command do I use to check and repair the file system on it? | 00:50 |
| bazhang | use windows tools to repair an ntfs device | 00:53 |
| bazhang | suggestions in ##windows | 00:54 |
| Unit193 | Depending on the type of error, testdisk. Generally chkntfs stuff you'll want windows to fix it's own filesystem. | 00:55 |
| w30 | bazhang, what's windows? I don't have that. I have a GOFlex usb drive. | 01:02 |
| w30 | is there a fsck.ntfs command I can download? | 01:03 |
| * drc did a simple google search for "linux repair ntfs" and got over 5 million hits, the first one entitles "How To Fix A Corrupted Windows NTFS Filesystem With Ubuntu". Google must have been broken earlier. | 01:06 | |
| w30 | "fsck -t ntfs /dev/sdf1" doesn't work because fsck.ntfs is not found is my error | 01:09 |
| w30 | I am down loading testdisk , maybe that will work. | 01:12 |

| ruien | hello everyone. Is anyone here familiar with how ubiquity finds its sources? I replaced the sources in /etc/apt/sources.list with a local mirror, but during installation time, and it works (when apt is called, at least), but it seems that ubiquity also tries to download a bunch of files from cn.archive.ubuntu.com, and I haven't specified that *anywhere*. I've grepped everything in /etc/apt; does anyone know where this is coming from, and more importantly how | 10:58 |
| ruien | tl;dr: ubiquity (the xubuntu installer) tries to use cn.archive.ubuntu.com, and I want to change that. | 10:59 |
| xubuntu625 | hello there | 12:02 |
| xubuntu625 | is there any software to copy programs between linux distros | 12:03 |
| ochosi | xubuntu625: not really, you can theoretically convert packages from one distro to another, but i wouldn't _really_ recommend it | 12:04 |
| ochosi | usually if it's kinda "esoteric" software, you have to compile it yourself anyway, and if it's not, it's hopefully in your distros repos | 12:04 |
| ochosi | (if both distros are e.g. debian-based then yes, you can probably install the .deb package in either, given that the dependencies are fulfilled) | 12:05 |
| xubuntu625 | i already copied "mathematica" but it run slower now.... | 12:05 |
| xubuntu625 | is it a good idea to copy the entire wine folder? | 12:06 |
| xubuntu955 | ciao | 13:30 |

| xubuntu743 | hey guys! | 18:54 |
| xubuntu743 | can someone help me out? | 18:54 |
| pleia2 | !ask | 18:55 |
| ubottu | 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 | 18:55 |
| pleia2 | :) | 18:55 |
| xubuntu743 | alright. So I've got an old laptop. 1.7GHz dual core, 512mb RAM. I'm definately installing Xubuntu on this thing. I want to format the HDD before I install, to start fresh. How do i do this in the Xubuntu installer? | 18:56 |
| pleia2 | if you select the option to install xubuntu on the whole harddrive the first thing it does before installing is format the whole drive | 18:57 |
| xubuntu743 | So it does it automatically? I had Ubuntu on it for a bit, but Unity was soooo slow on it. | 18:58 |
| pleia2 | yes, it has to format it in order to clear the disk to install the new OS :) | 18:59 |
| xubuntu743 | Nice! I love what linux is all about. I'm just a budding programmer, but I hope to work with a Linux OS in the future. Thanks for the help! | 19:00 |
| pleia2 | sure, enjoy | 19:01 |

| nashant | Hi guys. I'm trying to get a vnc server set up. Wanted to use x11vnc but all I get is a cursor with a black screen | 22:56 |
| Unit193 | nashant: Did you try something like x11vnc -safer -display :0 ? | 23:00 |
| nashant | Unit193: yeah, just black screen | 23:04 |
| xubuntu074 | I'm trying to install PlayOnLinux. Going through the console. I'm at a part where it asks to install a Microsoft TrueFonts program or something like that. It has <Ok> at the bottom. Remember this is a terminal window. I've tried pressing enter and "O" to get out, but that doesn't work. Anyone know how to get by this? | 23:20 |
| Catbuntu | Try pressing the down key | 23:22 |
| Catbuntu | (down arrow) | 23:22 |
| xubuntu074 | Aha! That allows me to scroll... but i still can't press the <Ok> button... thing | 23:23 |

| nashant | Hi guys. I'm trying to get a vnc server set up. Wanted to use x11vnc but all I get is a cursor with a black screen | 23:35 |
| well_laid_lawn | nashant: what have you done to set the vnc server up? | 23:42 |
| nashant | well_laid_lawn: sudo apt-get install -y x11vnc; x11vnc -storepasswd; x11vnc -safer -usepw -display :0 -rfbport 8899 | 23:44 |
| well_laid_lawn | did you end up with a .vnc directory ? | 23:45 |
| nashant | yup | 23:46 |
| well_laid_lawn | see if this helps - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X11vnc | 23:48 |
| well_laid_lawn | I haven't used vnc for ages, I just ssh nowadays | 23:48 |
| nashant | well_laid_lawn: My issue is that I need to get access to my routers, so need X access | 23:51 |
