[00:52] <Newk> anyone successfully recovered accidental deleted files from /home/username   ...that is in ext4 filesystem ?
[00:54] <Newk> i am now getting some files back with the photorec program but its a huge amount since it gets all from /
[00:55] <Newk> and they are not stored like they where in path but all scattered amoung several recovery folders with cryptic names
[01:02] <Newk> i tried the extundelete program but it seems to fail recovering anything
[01:03] <Newk> (yes i am not running on that system root and do from a liveUSB as to not damage the data further
[01:04] <Newk> this is a pretty shitty x-mas for me.. lots of data lost from my home folder :(
[03:22] <deitarion> Does anyone know a way to alter the default mount options? The automounter is playing merry hell with various scripts on thumbdrives because some genius thought it'd make sense to mount with "showexec" so only windows executables like *.exe, *.com, *.bat get the execute bit on vfat filesystems.
[04:39] <holstein> deitarion: i would look in the file manager settings.. you just dont want automouting?
[04:40] <deitarion> holstein: No, I want automounting but I want to revert the change which added "showexec" to the default mount options for vfat filesystems.
[04:42] <deitarion> If that's not possible, I guess I'll go looking for an alternative automount backend.
[04:43] <holstein> i would just disable auto mount and mount as you want/need it to be
[04:48] <deitarion> Is it possible to change the mount options if I manually mount  via PCManFM's places sidebar? ...because even that's a hassle compared to sticking a thumbdrive in, doing something in the terminal, and then only opening a PCManFM window just to hit "eject".
[04:50] <holstein> deitarion: i like thunar... pcmanfm is open, so anything is possible...
[04:50] <deitarion> I can't stand Thunar because the devs are insistent it'll never get tabs.
[04:52] <holstein> deitarion: im just saying, i use thunar.. so i cant give you a first hand way to deal with you issue in pcmanFM.. though if there is a filemanager that does more what you are looking for by default, you might consider it
[04:53] <deitarion> PCManFM is the best possible option. Before standards left it behind, Konqueror 3.5 was superior, but Konqueror 4.x is greatly inferior. (Apparently because it's bitrotting aside from minimal support patching by the KHTML devs)
[04:55] <deitarion> I suppose I'll have to see if there's a way to feed mount options to umount (the automount backend) aside from via PCManFM and, if there isn't, replace it with something like devmon.
[04:56] <deitarion> (The guy who forked the old PCManFM 0.5.x codebase to produce SpaceFM also maintains a modular set of replacements for the udisks-centric family automounting components)

[05:37] <Ahmuck> is possible to upgrade from 10.04 to 11.04 ?
[05:38] <Ahmuck> or 10.04 to 12.04 ?
[05:42] <Ahmuck> nm, tengo
[05:45] <Ahmuck> tienes canal espanola?
[05:51] <holstein> !sp | Ahmuck
[05:51] <holstein> !es
[05:52] <holstein> Ahmuck: you can upgrade from normal releases to the next one up.. and you can go from LTS to LTS... so, you can go 10.04 to 12.04
[05:52] <Ahmuck> si, entiendo
[05:52] <holstein> i always download the live CD and test anyways.. and i have my data backed up regardless.. i find it easier to just reinstall
[05:52] <Ahmuck> same here
[05:53] <Ahmuck> but i am going to try the upgrade
[05:53] <Ahmuck> i don't want to do a fresh install unless i have to
[05:53] <holstein> Ahmuck: it'll work.. i just find it easier
[05:53] <Ahmuck> looks like there is not an optiong to upgrade release by release however as there is a release missing on the download site
[05:54] <Ahmuck> so i am going from lts to lts
[05:54] <holstein> Ahmuck: well, 10.10 is EOL afaik
[05:54] <holstein> might be from supported release to supported release
[05:55] <holstein> Ahmuck: there are archives of everything and everything is open.. if you want to upgraded to 10.10, you can.. its just not likely easy.. and its EOL
[09:43] <joel2> hi, I broke my lubuntu desktop yesterday
[09:44] <joel2> so I'll go through what happens when I try to log in and what I did to break it
[09:45] <joel2> When I try to log in, the laptop monitor goes black. Even the backlight dies. I've created another user though, from which I'm able to write this. So I'm confident that the error is specific to a single user.
[09:46] <joel2> I did do some configuration just before it happened. I edited shortcuts using http://code.google.com/p/obkey/
[09:49] <joel2> Since then, the previous ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml has been restored, but I'm thinking there may be some other file
[09:49] <joel2> What do you think?
[15:20] <Ahmuck> i need to reset my menu bar to default
[15:20] <Ahmuck> do i delete a . file
