Sky_PodHey, I really need some layman's terms help. I tried installing Ubuntu alongside windows and it wound up screwing with my boot sequence. My monitor will not turn on until it defaults booting to Windows. I also can't access my BIOS now01:31

retaebnamowsorry smart I'm need to hand the work in I lost in a week11:09
retaebnamowhow do I fix it where is the start button11:10
smartboyhwretaebnamow, are you seriously asking about Windows? Since there is NO start button in Ubuntu (or any of it's official distros)11:10
retaebnamowOK but I have windows and I tried to put Ubuntu on to hack and now everything I had before is gonee11:11
retaebnamowlike everything my desktop and files and start11:11
smartboyhwretaebnamow, which method you used to install Ubuntu? Using ISOs or Wubi?11:11
retaebnamowUbuntu has broken my windows and now I'm fucked!11:11
smartboyhwretaebnamow, now no foul language11:12
retaebnamowI so I think my friend gave me a disk and I just did what it said where it said install11:12
smartboyhwanswer my question first11:12
retaebnamowI think it was an ISO like when you torrent a game and put the ISO on a disk11:13
smartboyhwretaebnamow, oh gods...... When you are installing does it have an option that says "Install Ubuntu 12.** against Windows 7/8?"11:13
retaebnamowI don't know I remember pressing something about installing ubuntu11:13
smartboyhwretaebnamow, you clicked on a clean install. That means everything of Windows is wiped off and that Ubuntu has completely overwritten it....11:13
Eyespajsounds like you probably erased windows11:13
smartboyhwSorry can't help you then11:13
* smartboyhw prepares for some more foul languages11:14

happydayshello All. i'm looking for an Ubuntu equivalent to hide my ass. any ideas, not to complicated if possible. thanks19:29
happydayseaster egg ?19:37
holsteinhappydays: "hidemyass" is a web service19:53
holsteinhappydays: maybe you are looking for a vpn https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN19:54
holsteinhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Proxy_settings might be a nice resource19:55
happydaysholstein. thanks20:06
odivhi20:30
odivSo I have a directory on my NAS mounted with fstab, but I think the permissions are strange. I need to use root permissions when copying files off of it. Any idea how to mount it so that permissions are wide open? I'm already passing credentials to the NAS itself to mount the directory so everything should read/writeable22:00
holsteinodiv: i would need more information22:02
holsteini know, i would just have user access on the nas22:02
odivWhat information do you need? On the NAS I have a user account set to have read/write permissions. That user account is being used to mount the directory with cifs.22:03
odivin fstab.22:03
holsteinwhat nas?22:03
odivSynology DS41122:04
holsteinoh... its an appliance?22:04
holsteinmight just have to do whatever the firmware wants you to do22:04
odivcp filename ~/ fails, but sudo cp filename ~/ works fine.22:04
odivSo the credentials I've supplied are fine, but for some reason ubuntu which has mounted the NAS directory is restricting it to root.22:05
holsteinodiv: maybe just chown it locally then22:05
odivdoes chowning it locally change the dir and all future files? Or is that something I'd have to do whenever I make any changes from other machines?22:06
odivI guess I could just google chown.22:06
holsteinodiv: for me, i would want to just test that and see, since i dont know how that appliance works22:06
odivgotcha.22:06
holsteinodiv: it wont be a chown issue...22:06
odivYeah, I'm not sure it has to do with the appliance, since the only credentials the ubuntu machine is using to access it would be the ones I've provided.22:07
odivI'll try chown first though.22:07
odivbut yeah, it sounds like I'd have to do that on an ongoing basis?22:08
holsteinsounds like?22:08
holsteinif it were me, i would want to just get the thing working, then id worry with persistence if needed22:08
odivJust from googling chown. I'll shut up until I've read enough to know what I'm talking about.22:08
holsteinwell, just try it, i say22:09
holsteinyou dont know how the appliance mounts or whatever22:09
holsteinunless you have specified, or are allowed to22:09
holsteintake ubuntu out of the euqation.. boot with a live CD and test22:09
odivOh, when I said ubuntu I just meant the machine that ubuntu is on. I don't think it's something the OS is doing wrong or anything, just likely how I have it set up.22:10
odivanyway, I'm off to try this.22:11
holsteinodiv: well, it could be... im just trying to remove variables22:13
odivokay, so it was using the same permissions as the NAS itself. I used chmod to change everything to the permission I want. Now I just need to find out how to make it so that all files added have the desired permissions.22:34
holsteinodiv: sounds like progress22:36
odivYep, thanks!22:36
