| amagee | Hey i've recently upgraded to ubuntu 13.04 using xubuntu-desktop and now whenever I log in to an xfce or xubuntu session, I get spontaneously logged out within about 30 seconds or a few clicks. Any ideas how to debug and fix this? I'm having to resort to using unity! | 01:48 |
|---|---|---|
| _Dirk_ | ubuntu webiste suggested that if i have 1gig of ram or less to set the permiters of separate partition for virtual memory, called the swap from 60 to 10.... my comp was a little sluggish before (video wouldskip and lag) so i did change the perimiters as suggested and my machine was almost at a standstill (barely able to open the terminal to change the settings back)..... when i changed them i just for shits changed it to 80 and | 03:43 |
| bazhang | no cursing _Dirk_ | 03:44 |
| _Dirk_ | i rebooted and changed the perimeters to 95, rebooted and video doesn't lag at all... my machine runs more efficently doing the opposite of what ubuntu suggested... does anyone know why? | 03:44 |
| xubuntu444 | i am new to the xubuntu system im trying to get my netflix to work on my comp and it wont run | 03:45 |
| bazhang | http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ xubuntu444 | 03:45 |
| _Dirk_ | nobody? | 03:54 |
| bazhang | patience _Dirk_ | 03:54 |
| _Dirk_ | sorry i'm used to the ubuntu room where i guess more people hang out or, something | 03:55 |
| _Dirk_ | i'm not finding my answer on google | 03:55 |
| bullgard4 | _Dirk_: I do not know what "permiters" are. | 03:56 |
| _Dirk_ | parameters... spelling | 03:57 |
| bullgard4 | _Dirk_: Still I do not understand your problem fully. Try to tell precisely what Ubuntu suggested and how you measured sluggishness. | 03:59 |
| xubuntu444 | google suck when you are looking up something for ubuntu | 04:02 |
| bullgard4 | xubuntu444: hahaha | 04:02 |
| _Dirk_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5724975/.... the directions i followed | 04:03 |
| xubuntu444 | because have been looking on how to get my netflix to play on my comp for 3 days and still no success to get netflix to play | 04:04 |
| xubuntu444 | i have tried to get it to work with the compholio thing and still nothing\ | 04:05 |
| _Dirk_ | i cant get any comedy central videos to play either... youtube works does it for u? | 04:05 |
| xubuntu444 | yeah but i dont want to watch you tube all the time | 04:06 |
| xubuntu444 | is there another thing like netflix besides | 04:07 |
| xubuntu444 | youtube | 04:07 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: nothing about your swap file size or settings with make your graphics card better, or better supported, or "faster" | 04:08 |
| _Dirk_ | ya me niether i was just asking because i'm having sorta the same problem... everything else plays but can't watch the dailyshow (SUX!!) ... ya there is crackle, hulu, a bunch | 04:08 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: if you have older hardware, you might not be able to do so | 04:08 |
| holstein | i usually try the actual google chrome browser.. not chromium.. as a troubleshooting step.. that is the only way to get the current flash in linux | 04:09 |
| _Dirk_ | HOLSTEIN.... ya but from what i gathered it was supposed to free up some ram to allow programs to run better... | 04:09 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: no.. thats not the issue you are having | 04:10 |
| _Dirk_ | linux and flash clash... HTML% | 04:10 |
| _Dirk_ | HTML5 | 04:10 |
| _Dirk_ | HOLSTEIN... well i'm not sure what is going on then, but my comp is diffinatly running better... i swtched to xubuntu in hopes of getting rid of some of the lag but it didn't work... | 04:11 |
| _Dirk_ | sorry i should have said that i switched from ubuntu to xubuntu | 04:12 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: xubuntu is not going to make your hardware any faster | 04:12 |
| _Dirk_ | i was thinking a lighter distro might help | 04:13 |
| holstein | xfce and lxde can use less resources, and make things seem more responsive, but it doesnt make your hardware any different | 04:13 |
| holstein | xubuntu444: netflix doesnt officially support linux or ubuntu | 04:14 |
| holstein | !netflix | xubuntu444 this is how you do it.. and its a hack | 04:14 |
| ubottu | xubuntu444 this is how you do it.. and its a hack: If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop | 04:14 |
| _Dirk_ | i even debated putting puppy or Lubuntu but those are to striped down for me | 04:14 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: puppy is not a distro that you install.. lubuntu still has access to the repos and the normal ubuntu user base for support | 04:15 |
| bazhang | video lag wont be helped by that | 04:15 |
| _Dirk_ | ya i figured that out by trying it... the ubuntu room suggested it | 04:16 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: the graphics hardware support will not be "better" by changing DE's. or distros | 04:16 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: how did the vesa driver work? | 04:16 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: i must have missed where you linked your hardware information.. what device are you using? what operation system? 13.04? 32bit? | 04:17 |
| _Dirk_ | i didnt mess with the versa driver, if i did i don't remember doing it... give me a minute and i'll my hardware 411 | 04:19 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: trying a different graphics driver *will* effect the issues you are trying to address. the vesa driver is a graphics driver i use, and suggest using for troubleshooting purposes | 04:20 |
| _Dirk_ | i used wubi to install ubuntu 12.04, upgraded to 12.10 and swithced to xubuntu desktop... http://imagebin.org/259889 | 04:21 |
| holstein | !nvidia | _Dirk_ | 04:22 |
| ubottu | _Dirk_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 04:22 |
| holstein | ^^ thats what i refer to | 04:22 |
| _Dirk_ | how do i trouble shoot and go about installing that versa driver? my graphics card stopped working so i'm using my internal graphics on my motherboard which is extremely old | 04:22 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: as i said, the vesa driver is installed. you just configure it | 04:23 |
| _Dirk_ | how? | 04:23 |
| holstein | !vesa | 04:23 |
| ubottu | vesa is the default video driver if X can't find a better one. Also see !x | 04:23 |
| holstein | http://askubuntu.com/questions/63264/unsupported-video-chipset-how-do-i-force-low-graphics-mode | 04:23 |
| holstein | ^^ thats the link with a sample xorg.conf | 04:24 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: you are not going to be able to solve this with software though... thats likely the issue | 04:24 |
| _Dirk_ | i'm using my optimus s sprint phone to connect to the internet so my connection speed is rediculas slow 11m/s | 04:24 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: what would i do? get a better graphics card at a charity shop for cheap | 04:24 |
| holstein | or, i would not have expectations of running a modern operating system on older hardware.. or i would run what operating system supports the hardware | 04:25 |
| _Dirk_ | after i paste what is says into the gnu nano File: /etc/X11/xorg.conf ........ what do i do next.. i pressed enter but it doesn't do anything | 04:29 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: this is *not* going to help you.. but this is how | 04:29 |
| _Dirk_ | which is what? which operating system do you suggest? | 04:30 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: you make an xorg.conf for *your* system, and put it in place at /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 04:30 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: whatever operating system supports that hardware | 04:30 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: i dont have that hardware.. but i have machines that are newer that have hardware that is not well supported in linux | 04:30 |
| holstein | i do not watch youtube on them.. they either dont run X, or i use them for specific tasks that work for what they can do | 04:31 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: you will not download any moder operating system, from anyone that will make that machine run like a new machine | 04:31 |
| _Dirk_ | before my video card stopped working i made flash animations but i was running windows xp... i reinstalled windows and got fed up with trying to find the drivers to get sound so i made the switch to ubuntu about 3 days ago and i love it ... i'm never going back | 04:33 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: cool.. then, consider the other option.. i got a card at a chartiy shop for $10 us.. works great with the newer nvidia drivers i linked above | 04:34 |
| _Dirk_ | in 2001 this machine was top of the line... why can't i just run my machine like people did in the 90's | 04:34 |
| _Dirk_ | ten bux is pretty cheap i can swing that | 04:34 |
| holstein | _Dirk_: i think if you were to install windows 2000 on there, you would find the driver support great.. | 04:35 |
| holstein | you *can* run your machine like folks did in the 90's.. but you wont get to the web that we have now with it, and run all the latest whizz-bang stuff | 04:35 |
| amagee | -ChanServ- [#xubuntu] Welcome to #xubuntu. This channel is logged. <--- where? | 06:54 |

| amagee | ah cool, thanks | 06:57 |
| elfy | welcome | 06:58 |
| xubuntu328 | so i trust xubuntu should be fine on a samsung n145 plus 10.1" ? | 10:18 |
| flux242 | I have xubuntu 12.04 on samsung n10. It's kinda slow | 10:21 |
| xubuntu328 | is it an atom processor with 1gb ram? | 10:22 |
| xubuntu328 | I'll remove everything i dont need ofc | 10:22 |
| flux242 | xubuntu328: no, you'll still have lots of crap installed | 10:23 |
| flux242 | like you cannot remove zeitgeist without removing catfish | 10:24 |
| xubuntu328 | this pcf will just be used to read the news, listen to music, and chat while im on the toilet | 10:25 |
| cfhowlett | xubuntu328, TMI ... | 10:25 |
| xubuntu328 | I'll see if im going to try out lubuntu too | 10:25 |
| xubuntu328 | sry :P | 10:25 |
| flux242 | xp works better with this hw | 10:26 |
| xubuntu328 | it came with windows 7 | 10:26 |
| xubuntu328 | this n145 p | 10:27 |
| flux242 | xubuntu328: I've written a short article about minimal xubuntu installation. | 10:28 |
| xubuntu328 | Would you kindly msg me it? :) | 10:28 |
| flux242 | flux242.blogspot.com Should be the second link from the beginning | 10:30 |
| xubuntu328 | thanks alot | 10:31 |
| xubuntu328 | Well hdd space is no problem, its the ram and cpu usage im worrying about | 10:44 |
| flux242 | the less processes you have running the faster the system | 10:44 |
| xubuntu328 | exactly | 10:45 |
| xubuntu328 | and more battery time | 10:45 |
| flux242 | that's what minimal system offers | 10:45 |
| flux242 | battery live is pretty bad with ubuntu I must say | 10:45 |
| xubuntu328 | Yep, i took a quick a look at the guide | 10:46 |
| flux242 | even with all the hacks I've added | 10:46 |
| xubuntu328 | most likely will try it | 10:46 |
| xubuntu328 | I<ve got another much better laptop, so this is just for fun :) | 10:47 |
| xubuntu328 | and normally i use a desktop | 10:47 |
| flux242 | win7 works approximately 1 hour longer than ubunty with the same hw. | 10:49 |
| flux242 | simply surfing | 10:49 |
| pepijn___ | I created a 30gb partition on my 16gb disk for Windows 8 and am now installing xubuntu with the "alongside windows 8" opeion. what will this do with regard to disk layout? | 12:32 |
| pepijn___ | I wanted to give another 30gb to xubuntu and have the rest for files and stuff | 12:32 |
| cfhowlett | pepijn___, it will install ubuntu to the new partition and, ideally, create a grub menu for you to select an OS on bootup | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | pepijn___, wait, what | 12:33 |
| pepijn___ | What I hope it's *not* doing now is resizing the windows partition or puting ubuntu in a iso file | 12:33 |
| pepijn___ | 160gb | 12:33 |
| cfhowlett | pepijn___, you created a 30 g partition on a 16 g disk? | 12:33 |
| pepijn___ | missed a zero ;) | 12:34 |
| pepijn___ | cfhowlett: what is "the new partition" in this case? | 12:34 |
| cfhowlett | pepijn___, ok. but you WILL need to resize your windows partition so you can use the empty partition for ubuntu. by default, windows owns the whole HDD. | 12:34 |
| pepijn___ | My windows install is not default, it lives on a 3gb partition currently, with the rest of the disk unalocated | 12:35 |
| pepijn___ | 30 | 12:35 |
| cfhowlett | pepijn___, you really don't like 0, do you. OK, creating a partition from unallocated space will NOT resize your windows partition. | 12:36 |
| pepijn___ | I know, but the point is that I did not tell xubuntu what to do. It just went ahead and did something | 12:37 |
| elfy | then you should have used Something Else which is the manual partition setup method | 12:37 |
| pepijn___ | so if it created a new partition in the unalocated space, all is good | 12:37 |
| pepijn___ | if it did something bad to my windows partition, that's not good | 12:38 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | gonna be a noobish question, but how can you tell if your cpu is overclocked? reason I ask is I have the cpufreq-plugin on my dash and it tops out at 2.8ghz, so I'm curious if the scaling of the cpu is due to over/undeclocking or if I can still push it harder. | 12:38 |
| elfy | if you used 'alongside' then it will be trying shrink as far as I know | 12:38 |
| elfy | pepijn___: ^^ | 12:38 |
| pepijn___ | \:( | 12:38 |
| pepijn___ | ok, i'll need to fix that :( | 12:38 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | pepijn___: which is why wizards should be avoided XD | 12:38 |
| pepijn___ | nah, wizards should explain what they are going to do | 12:38 |
| elfy | pepijn___: do NOT just turn it off | 12:39 |
| pepijn___ | I'd rather have a wizard than do teh whole arch linux thing again | 12:39 |
| pepijn___ | elfy: no, I'll just let it do its thing and then fix everything :/ | 12:39 |
| elfy | pepijn___: installing from something else is easy if you understand partitions :) | 12:39 |
| elfy | pepijn___: good :) | 12:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | iirc it does, but arch *does* have a wizard, of sorts. its not like you're compiling your distro from source XD | 12:40 |
| elfy | sorry cfhowlett - looked like I was barging in :) | 12:40 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | elfy: yep, I always use something else, keeps my separate $HOME partition safe | 12:40 |
| pepijn___ | I definitelly should have clicked something else :/ | 12:41 |
| elfy | yep | 12:43 |
| elfy | used to be called Manual or something like that | 12:44 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | pepijn___: ah well, you live and learn. count this off as a lesson. you can take a cab, but they may take a longer route for a better fair. drive yourself :D | 12:47 |
| cfhowlett | elfy, no worries. always glad to have a 2nd opinion | 12:49 |
| * elfy too | 12:49 | |
| pepijn___ | itactually did install in the empty space on the disk | 13:26 |
| pepijn___ | better than expected :) | 13:26 |
| pepijn___ | but I'd like to shrink that space and I can't boot from the usb drive anymore | 13:27 |
| elfy | that's not what I expect to happen if you choose install alongside - though it suits you | 13:27 |
| pepijn___ | Üse of uninitiated value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf.pm | 13:29 |
| pepijn___ | that's the last message when I press ESC during the spinning thing while it boots | 13:29 |
| elfy | you tried again I assume? | 13:30 |
| pepijn___ | yes | 13:30 |
| elfy | no idea I'm afraid - though it's the type of thing I'd not waste time on and just redo the image on the drive | 13:31 |
| pepijn___ | :) | 13:31 |
| * elfy is a pragmatist | 13:31 | |
| pepijn___ | weird, on the installed system it pops up a bedcomf window | 13:35 |
| pepijn___ | or rather it flashes and disappears again | 13:36 |
| pepijn___ | what is a good fs type to use for sharing stuff between windows and linux? | 13:44 |
| pepijn___ | I hope the answer is not FAT, but maybe that's still the case | 13:45 |
| elfy | to share between them I'd use ntfs | 13:45 |
| pepijn___ | ok, xubuntu can write ntfs in a stable manner nowadays? | 13:45 |
| pepijn___ | I havn't used windows in a long time, so it used to be that ntfs was read-only or at least not very stable. | 13:46 |

| kos_tom | hello | 14:42 |
| kos_tom | has the bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1055810 been fixed ? | 14:42 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1055810 in xfce4-settings (Ubuntu) "Cannot create keyboard shortcuts" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 14:42 |
| kos_tom | I've just switched from Xubuntu 12.04 to 13.04, and this bug is horribly annoying. | 14:42 |
| bekks | kos_tom: The status of the bug (as can be seen in your link) indicates it hasnt been fixed yet. | 14:55 |
| kos_tom | the problem is fixed upstream by http://git.xfce.org/xfce/libxfce4ui/commit/?id=9dfbc906f89601f145557fe6846e9ad44a8e9e22 apparently | 14:56 |
| kos_tom | wouldn't it be possible to backport this patch into Xubuntu packages? | 14:56 |
| bekks | kos_tom: You could add that as a comment to the bug, so the maintainer doesnt have to search for that again once the bug is assigned. | 14:57 |
| kos_tom | also, I'm affected by a strange bug | 14:59 |
| kos_tom | at the graphical login prompt | 14:59 |
| kos_tom | if I type with the internal keyboard of the laptop, I get the proper keyboard layout (i.e french azerty for me), but when I type with the USB external keyboard, I get a wrong layout (qwerty) | 14:59 |
| kos_tom | *however*, as soon as I've typed *one* character with the internal laptop keyboard, then the USB external keyboard has the correct layout | 15:00 |
| kos_tom | ok, after rebuilding the libxfce4-ui package with the patch I pointed, the first problem is fixed. | 15:02 |
| kos_tom | an idea for the second bug? | 15:02 |
| kos_tom | bekks: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-settings/+bug/1055810/comments/15 | 15:06 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 1055810 in xfce4-settings (Ubuntu) "Cannot create keyboard shortcuts" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 15:06 |
| bekks | kos_tom: Perfect :) That saves a lot of time for the maintainer :) | 15:06 |
| kos_tom | bekks: I've also attached the backported patch I've done. | 15:08 |
| kos_tom | now, any idea for the second problem I exposed? | 15:08 |
| xubuntu087 | I recently switched from unity to xfce4. How can I get a zoom plugin for xfce just like ccsm provides for unity? | 15:19 |

| je_day | Hi there. I am setting up small home media server with xubuntu. What software I should install? | 18:09 |
| je_day | Anybody? | 18:10 |
| je_day | LNCP: Hi there. I am setting up small home media server with xubuntu. What software I should install? | 18:11 |
| LNCP | je_day: Never done home media stuff before, sorry. | 18:12 |
| je_day | Ok thx | 18:12 |
| je_day | anyway | 18:12 |
| je_day | LNCP: do you have any idea who is the pro there? | 18:13 |
| LNCP | No. You generally just wait for someone to respond instead of questioning people directly. | 18:14 |
| je_day | OK, It's my first time in this type of communities so thanks you for support. | 18:15 |
| pleia2 | je_day: it really depends on what you're trying to do :) music? movies? audio? what outputs? | 18:15 |
| pleia2 | the folks in #ubuntu-mythtv know a lot though, they have a whole ubuntu-based distro around it (based on 12.04) | 18:15 |
| pleia2 | that's very tv-focused though | 18:15 |
| je_day | pleia2: All kind of media but mostly movies | 18:16 |
| pleia2 | is it connected to a tv, or just a file server serving media via dlna or something? | 18:16 |
| je_day | second type | 18:16 |
| pleia2 | I have a "media server" but all it does is serve the media, my tv has native dlna so it can see it on the network | 18:17 |
| pleia2 | I use mediatomb | 18:17 |
| pleia2 | it's not great, but it works | 18:17 |
| je_day | got it | 18:18 |
| je_day | How do subtitles work with it? | 18:18 |
| pleia2 | I don't know | 18:18 |
| pleia2 | they have a channel at #mediatomb though | 18:19 |
| je_day | ok | 18:19 |
| Sysi | that's just for dlna, if you want for example windows shares you'll need samba | 18:19 |
| je_day | My xubuntu setup endend and goona restart. Thx for support. Maybe i will be back. | 18:20 |
| dbb | hi all - I have a really dump question.. I have a VM running and the date is out of sync by 20 hours due to downtime.. the Date and Time pref says synch automatically, but its clearlynow.. when I tried ntpdate it says "no servers can be used" and exits | 18:21 |
| dbb | what to do? | 18:21 |
| dbb | s/dump/dumb/ | 18:21 |
| dbb | clearly not... | 18:22 |
| pleia2 | dbb: the ntpdate command requires you to specify a server | 18:22 |
| dbb | suggestion for a server name? | 18:22 |
| pleia2 | could use one of the ubuntu ones, like 0.ubuntu.pool.ntp.org | 18:23 |
| dbb | why is it not synching do you think? | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | (they are 0-3) | 18:23 |
| dbb | thx | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | ntp is running? | 18:23 |
| dbb | ps aux | grep ntp perhaps | 18:23 |
| dbb | yeah nothing | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | so in order for it to keep time, you need a service running that does that | 18:23 |
| pleia2 | the most common one is ntp | 18:24 |
| pleia2 | (that's the package name) | 18:24 |
| pleia2 | so if you install that, you should be good :) | 18:24 |
| dbb | sure .. makes sense.. I naivley thought that checking the Accesories box to auto synch would take care of it all | 18:24 |
| pleia2 | I don't really know what that does | 18:24 |
| dbb | time is one of those things on Linux that is so dense that it makes me want to just skip the whole topic | 18:25 |
| dbb | personally | 18:25 |
| dbb | sudo apt-get install ntp => ntp is already at the newest version | 18:25 |
| pleia2 | so when I select "keep syncronized with internet servers" I get a warning saying ntp is not installed | 18:25 |
| dbb | see! | 18:26 |
| pleia2 | you need to install it | 18:26 |
| dbb | didnt I just try that above? | 18:26 |
| pleia2 | sorry, I just read that | 18:26 |
| pleia2 | please be patient, I'm a volunteer and I'm trying to help :( | 18:26 |
| dbb | np | 18:26 |
| pleia2 | so type this: service ntp start | 18:26 |
| dbb | I drank coffee - I am typing fast ;-) | 18:27 |
| pleia2 | err: sudo service ntp start | 18:27 |
| dbb | trying... | 18:27 |
| dbb | ooohhh ahhhhh | 18:27 |
| dbb | why that was not already going.. no clue.. but that appeared to do something | 18:27 |
| pleia2 | not sure, maybe it crashed or something? | 18:28 |
| dbb | yeah - fyi what I do with this VM is move it back and forth with me where I go to work | 18:28 |
| dbb | so its off then on on differrnt VirtualBox hosts | 18:28 |
| dbb | ok, I'll check back on it later.. thx! | 18:29 |
| pleia2 | sure, good luck | 18:29 |
| dbb | XUbuntu is working really well for me.. general thx for that too | 18:29 |

| 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 | 18:33 |

| xubuntu252 | i thought i need to convert the iso into something, thanks again | 18:34 |
| xubuntu795 | hello one last question, where can i download usb creator directly? i just installed from an old cd ubuntu 8.04 but cannot update thats why i downloaded xubuntu iso and i need to install it from a flash drive, you send me a tutorial but the only way i found to download usb creator doesnt work for me because this version is no longer supported in repositories | 18:44 |
| xubuntu795 | in synaptic | 18:44 |
| Unit193 | usb-creator-gtk is the real name of the application, but if it doesn't work you can use unetbootin or dd. | 18:48 |
| xubuntu795 | thanks ill try the other two i only found how to install the first one by synaptic or ubuntu software center and i cant access none of them | 18:51 |
| xubuntu795 | thanks a lot it finally works good luck, bye | 19:01 |
| zephyr | Panicking: I just attempted to install Windows 7 onto a separate partition but somehow ended up deleting my /home partition! Could someone please help me out? How can I restore that partition and its data? | 19:30 |
| Unit193 | !testdisk | 19:32 |
| Unit193 | Well, testdisk is what I'd run to for that. | 19:32 |
| zephyr | Unit193, run it to analyze for lost partitions? | 19:34 |
| Unit193 | See if you can get anything out of it, yeah. There are other options too I'd think, but prepare to be lost. | 19:35 |
| Unit193 | http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk | 19:35 |
| zephyr | ugh. So frustrating. All my family's baby photos and videos were on there. | 19:35 |
| Unit193 | Ouch, yeah... | 19:36 |
| zephyr | I just told Windows to delete a blank partition for its own installation; it cleared the entire disk, not just the partition. | 19:36 |
| th0r | zephyr: did windows complete the installation? | 19:37 |
| zephyr | th0r, no. As soon as I saw that huge chunk of "unallocated space" I backed out of the install. | 19:37 |
| zephyr | It didn't write anything to the disk | 19:37 |
| zephyr | And I never formatted or created new partitions over it. | 19:38 |
| Unit193 | zephyr: Seems like testdisk has a higher shot, then. | 19:42 |
| zephyr | I have testdisk running a scan; hopefully the right one. | 19:44 |
| contrapunctus | Hey folks. I tried running some programs using 'xfce4-terminal -e program1 -H --tab -e program2 -H'. However, when I close any of those programs, I don't get the...'input prompt'? i.e. I want to be able to hit the up arrow key and enter the same command again, but am not allowed to do that. Please help... | 20:17 |
| Sysi | try: -e bash programname | 20:19 |
| contrapunctus | Sysi - Same :( | 20:22 |
| zephyr | So, I'm using testdisk to attempt to recover a couple accidentally deleted partitions. However, the partition I'm most concerned with has been listed a LOT of times, all with different start, end, and size values. Where do I go from here? | 21:56 |

| Unit193 | !terminal | 23:22 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 23:22 |
| halawany | ok whats the command shoul i use to run it | 23:26 |
| Unit193 | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/aircrack-ng Could try reading the options here. | 23:27 |
| halawany | thanks bro i will read the topic thanks for help :) | 23:29 |
| Unit193 | Sure. | 23:30 |
