[08:17] hi mazal [08:17] Gaanit oom ? [08:17] mazal why not convert everything to one format [08:18] koud en self [08:18] Re the dvd's you talking about ? [08:18] have a look at mobile media converter or mmediac i thinks it might be called now [08:19] ya for the dvds [08:19] Converting is not the problem [08:19] It's building the dvd that is [08:19] can you just burn them to dvd with k3b [08:19] I have many converters , but then you must "auther" a dvd that builds a menu and create a dvd structure and take that to iso [08:19] explain building the dvd [08:19] k3b can't do that [08:20] oh you want to make an iso of it [08:20] Video dvd's must have the correct structure insode a Video_ts folder containing ifo and vob files and menu that is correct format and structure to play in a dvd player [08:20] there is something i saw about creating an iso in ubuntu [08:20] That's where the thing comes in [08:21] Maaz: coffee on [08:21] * Maaz puts the kettle on [08:21] DVDstyler work so well for many years [08:21] Maaz: larfe [08:21] Squirm: What? [08:21] Maaz: large [08:21] In a beer mug just for you Squirm [08:21] Maaz: bigger [08:21] Squirm: Sorry... [08:21] Now broken in 13.04 [08:21] meh [08:21] lo [08:21] hi Squirm [08:22] Bombono as suggested on mail list currently works for me. Only gripe I have with it is that it has a very time consuming way of creating the menu [08:22] will just creating an iso of the folder work? [08:22] You must do it manually [08:22] No it won't Kilos [08:22] A folder with a bunch of video files will only play on a pc [08:22] oh ok then im lost, maybe someone else has ideas [08:23] For now I will use Bombono and hope dvdstyler get's fixed in next Ubuntu [08:23] Bombono just takes a lot of time with the menu , otherwise it is good [08:24] * Squirm is busy updating his linux mint [08:24] I think I skipped a release [08:25] Coffee's ready for Squirm! [08:25] woop [08:25] hi psyatw [08:25] Maaz [08:25] hi Kilos [08:25] Maaz ek roep jou [08:25] mazal: Huh? [08:25] Maaz kan jy al steak maak ? [08:25] mazal: *blink* [08:25] hehe [08:25] hi Squirm [08:27] Hi psyatw [08:27] Maaz don't blink at me feed me [08:27] mazal: Sorry... [08:28] hi mazal [08:37] blast from the past, just had one of these dropped at my shop http://content.bikhir.ma/images/85/8590061209.jpg [08:37] what is it [08:38] HP something or other [08:38] photocopier, only [08:38] ah [08:38] Minolta cs pro ep 2030 [08:40] still switches on, but looks and smells like rats have nesting in it [08:40] lol [08:40] ive got a win xp pc coming for repairs [08:41] Run Kilos run [08:41] cant see mouse and all icons missing of desktop [08:41] hehe [08:41] cant family of family [08:41] We get that icons thing a lot [08:41] suspect virus or malware [08:41] Mostly happens when user click on the desktop cleanup popup and don't read properly [08:42] But ya , probably virus , it's MS [08:42] how do you fix it? [08:42] Deleted items from desktop there is only one way , one by one manually [08:43] lol [08:43] system restore [08:43] apparently there arent any [08:43] We created a bat file now in all our pc's startup that copies al main shortcuts to the desktop every time the user logs on [08:44] what a waste of data getting antivirus and stuff for 1 pc [08:44] Is such a pain the virus thing [08:44] are there no system restore points Kilos? [08:45] i dunno magespawn will look tonight when it comes then we can discuss it on my channel [08:45] well get reprimanded here [08:45] good idea batman [08:47] look at this when you got time, i put it on 7 [08:47] http://www.lavasoft.com/ [08:47] does a range of things and dont slow pc [08:49] Seems promising [08:50] um [08:50] what's my nick? [08:50] hi Guest56135 [08:51] ah [08:51] weird [08:51] But I don't see an option for manual definition update download [08:51] http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad_aware_free.php [08:51] http://i.imgur.com/Ms0jqMI.png [08:52] Guest56135, what did you do === Guest56135 is now known as ThatGraemeGuy [08:52] thats better [08:52] no idea [08:52] hi ThatGraemeGuy [08:53] That's the program itself Kilos [08:53] * ThatGraemeGuy waves [08:53] I'm refering to def files for when you want to update a pc manually that don't have internet [08:54] might be an option once installed [08:54] but without net i have no idea [08:54] For example I dl the manual definitions file for our av once a week. Then I have it with me in the field and update stand-alone pc's [08:55] ah [08:55] And when I format I update with that file first [08:55] it checks for updates all the time [08:55] Then even the pc's that have internet have a small incremental update after that [08:55] Saves plenty of data [08:55] yeah [08:56] Is like apt cache for av lol [08:56] maybe one can install it to a stick [08:56] So is always the first thing when looking at av I look if their site have manual update files or if it only works with updating straight from the net [08:56] you gotta experiment i got no place in nut to remember win stuff [08:58] We have entered an era where you simply can't run pc's without inet anymore hey [08:59] yeah [09:03] mazal, why not do your dvd stuff on 12.04 [09:05] and file a bug report of whats broken in 13 whatever it dont work with [09:05] so the next release is fixed and maybe even you will get a work aroung for the release it dont work on [09:06] work around [09:06] I don't have a 12.04 at home Kilos [09:06] install one alongside man [09:06] I never do that [09:07] I have a very specific and partition layout and 2nd os will mess that up lol [09:07] And I never been a fan of the dual boot thing [09:07] i run 12.04 kde unity and 10.10 on one pc with option where to boot from [09:07] BUT...if I can get another usb hdd I will install to that [09:07] but each on its own drive [09:08] I used to that some time ago , but it got to complicated to go change the bios order every time and remember what drive is what [09:08] no man its simple [09:08] you get the choice in grub menu [09:09] But is nice idea , will check if I can find a 2.5" external somewhere [09:09] get the most important one to boot first then run sudo update-grub from it [09:10] hi there drussell [09:11] With current internal that will be to big job. Will have re-partition the whole drive and one is 1.5tb with data on it :( [09:11] Will be easier to just install to a external and plug in when needed [09:16] But...then again....my backups run every night including the big data partition. So don't have much to backup , just a lot to put back..hmmm [09:18] hmm... [09:19] Ag nee man oom Kilos , jy gee my idees nou en dis baie werk man :-) [09:19] haha [09:20] werk is goed. hou jou uit die moeilikhead [09:20] Ek het te veel werk alreeds [09:22] En ek is soet seun , maakie moeilikheid nie hehehehe [09:22] hehe [09:23] * drussell waves to Kilos [09:28] i might disappear, gonna plug in router [09:30] yay [09:39] Superhuman, it killed internet again so i purged iptables gufw and ufw now it dont kill 3g anymore [09:40] now just gotta set pc as gateway to the stars [09:41] anytime, no rush at all [09:48] Kilos can you remember where you set the gateway last time? [09:49] last time i set it in nm with the same ip as my pc [09:49] nm wired eth0 edit [09:49] then 1pv4\ [09:49] ipv4 [09:50] just dunno what to put in there this time [10:03] let me check [10:08] in nm did you set the ipv4 settings to manual? [10:08] yes otherwise they dont give you options [10:10] are you on automatic/dhcp at the moment? [10:10] ive tried that [10:11] what is it set at right now? [10:11] no manual [10:12] and dns servers i put in 8.8.8.8 [10:18] would be easier if i could just get the router to see the arab modem [10:19] but then dunno how ill iftop it [10:20] im bang to fiddle in its settings [10:20] what ip address do you get for ifconfig [10:21] i used this command to set it [10:21] sudo ip addr add 192.168.1.1/24 dev eth0 [10:21] ifconfig gives me [10:22] inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 [10:22] your router will be on 192.168.1.254 [10:22] okay then the everything except the the gateway is set then Kilos? [10:22] ya i can get to it with browser [10:23] i put my ip in gateway too now [10:24] maybe there is a command for setting gateway [10:24] Kilos: just remember, using `ip addr` to set your IP will only work until you restart [10:24] not sure if nm is so good [10:24] you want to set your default gateway on the command line? [10:25] will it remember it if its cli [10:25] no [10:25] Setting route via command line: sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 && netstat -rn [10:25] netstat -rn give you your routing table. [10:26] nm didnt work with ip addy yesterday we had to use command line [10:26] Kilos: you can set it on cli and it will work. but it will only work until restart [10:27] Superhuman: could Kilos not set the gateway and such on the router? [10:27] I'd think you'd have to [10:27] if he sets up dhcp on the router (or the pc), one of the settings is the default gateway to use. Which every dhcp host then gets. [10:28] ok [10:28] the router doesn't need to connect to the pc, it is basically acting as a normal router, it doesn't need internet connection (unless you update firmware) [10:29] wifi routers (not modems) are just normal routers with little more setup. [10:29] i was thinking for the rest of the network devices, if they try to use the router as the gateway automatically they would fail to get internet [10:30] yes, they would [10:34] ahh okay i understand, so the router will get the default gateway from the pc [10:37] oh my [10:38] one of those last commands killed 3g connection again even thought it still showed connected [10:39] ill try connect router again and see what happens [10:39] Maaz, hi [10:39] * Maaz waves to Kilos [10:39] Kilos, the gateway doesn't need to be set on the pc, since it is the gateway. Only non-gateway devices need to be set. [10:39] yay [10:40] Maaz: beer [10:40] Superhuman: Sorry... [10:40] damnit...who drinks all the beers? [10:40] too early for beer [10:40] Never too early! [10:41] Maaz, beer [10:41] hmm... Kilos look in the fridge [10:41] he knows i dont drink [10:41] whiskey tango foxtrot! [10:42] discrimination!! [10:42] hehe [10:42] * Kilos throws a beer to Superhuman [10:46] it is all in the punctuation, which most definately is important [10:46] lo [10:47] Maaz, botsnack [10:47] thanks, Kilos [10:51] Maaz: beer [10:51] Squirm look in the fridge my friend [10:51] Maaz: botsnack [10:51] Thank you thank you, munch munch chomp chomp [10:56] maybe i gotta use these commands like with server back then [10:56] iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW ! -i ppp+ -j ACCEPT [10:56] iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp+ -j MASQUERADE [10:57] gotta remaster [10:57] l8tr all [11:01] oh iptables is purged === Spaceghost is now known as Guest12219 [11:17] hi psyatw [11:50] eeek 799 peeps on #android [11:50] nosy ThatGraemeGuy ? [11:51] hehe [11:51] yeah [11:51] 799 idlers [11:51] i hope thats the right place to ask for help [11:52] with? [11:53] ive just stated the prob there [11:54] i have a problem trying to install android-x86 to my intel pc [11:54] it gets to "detecting android-x86 and prints pages of .......... [11:54] doesnt even get to partitioning [11:54] ah [11:56] if it actually installed it could be good for older pcs because its only 186meg [11:57] i don't think android apps translate very well to a kb/mouse interface [11:57] i tried it in virtualbox, it's clunky [11:58] i think its trying to detect an android device to install to which is wrong if its an iso for pcs [11:58] and a large percentage of my apps in the play store were not installable for whatever reason [11:58] eish [11:58] its pretty much a toy project in its current state [11:59] maybe one needs to find the dev channel on irc [12:00] #android-dev is for app development [12:00] #android-root - for discussion related to off-label uses of hardware [12:00] ?

Rebooting , wish me luck :P [15:50] good luck [15:54] Nope , same thing [15:54] eish [15:54] Oh well , good bye 12.04 and dvdstyler [15:54] just change cards [15:54] No that is way too much work just for one app [15:54] Not worth it [15:54] lol [15:56] Wat gaan ek nou met die external maak [15:56] Het hom spesiaal diep uit 'n boks uitgekrap :-( [15:57] hehe [15:57] epos hom na my [16:03] Aaaaah ek weet ! [16:04] Ek gaan my huidige Ubu op hom install as 'n "recovery os" om in myne se data in te kom in case of emergency === mazal is now known as mazal_recovery [16:43] It works nicely :-) [16:43] Oom Kilos , I have a question [16:43] lekker [16:43] ya [16:44] Ok so now I am on my external drive ne [16:44] ja [16:44] During install I chose to install grub direct to it (sdb) [16:44] you are on it now [16:44] That's how I want it , I choose it first in BIOS when wanting to boot to it [16:45] Don't want to mess with sda main drive [16:45] so now do sudo update-grub [16:45] Now , when I am on it like now [16:45] Currently it is sharp [16:45] it should give you the boot options in grub menu [16:46] But what happens when there is an Kernel update , are the updater gonna install the new grub to sdb (the current drive I am on) or is it gonna install it to sda and mess with that ? [16:46] Will the updater automatically see I am on sdb and update sdb's grub ? [16:46] you have to choose which drive to boot from then do update from that drive [16:47] each one does its own updates that way [16:48] they dont interfere with each other here [16:48] And the updater will write the new grub to the drive you booted with ? [16:48] yip [16:48] Ah good , don't want this drive to mess with the internal one [16:49] it shouldnt imo [16:49] En ek was slim [16:49] hoekom [16:49] Remembered the apt cache trick so already copied sda's apt cache to this drive , so when it updates won't need to download anything :-) [16:50] lol i do that by using rsync to somewhere [16:50] Mine too , every night [16:51] you can use your external for that [16:51] Cool , so mi recovery drive is ready [16:51] to store packages and copy your /home [16:51] I want to see Windoooze do this , install a full os with ALL apps in 15min [16:51] well done [16:51] lol [16:51] Thank you remastersys [16:52] Ok , so now I have enough space on this drive left to play with K as well maybe [16:52] When I have time [16:52] Then don't have to mess with main drive [16:52] thats why i use 3 drives [16:53] And the rest free NTFS space [16:53] even though they all in the pc they are independant from each other [16:53] So if I use ot for recovery that there is space to copy data too [16:53] Just a pitty it is so small [16:53] size? [16:54] 250 overall [16:54] Used 50 for this os [16:54] 250 meg? [16:54] gig [16:54] gig [16:54] Very small === georgelappies_ is now known as georgelappies [16:54] Gonna leave another 50 for "play" , like K or X and so on [16:55] gig you are talking about [16:55] Then I have 150 for data transfer in recovery situation [16:55] Yes , gig [16:55] but why the ntfs partition [16:55] thats big man [16:55] 250 gig is large [16:56] That's small , I work with 2tb drives [16:56] This is an ooooooooooooold one [16:56] hehe spoiled brat [16:56] NTFS so that anything can access the data copied to it [16:56] aha [16:56] ext4 too much permission issues in such situations [16:57] i love ext4 win pcs cant even see it [16:57] I had many a headache before when I needed to put back data that was on ext4 backup drives [16:58] Since then ALL my backup drives , except the clones are NTFS [16:58] eina [16:58] My server backup I couldn't even access with gksudo nautilus [16:58] on a ext4 drive [16:59] I had to manually go and change the whole tree to different owner [16:59] And then change it back again after putting the data back [16:59] permisions? [16:59] Since then , only clones ext4 , the rest all NTFS. Then I can get to my data on any system [17:00] Yeah the permissions is a nightmare when you plug that drive into another system [17:02] Ok , this drive is nicely partitioned now. I saw that "disk" did not ask me if I want the 2nd partition to be a primary partition ? [17:02] Does it make it a primary automatically ? === Spaceghost is now known as Guest85024 [17:03] look at chown [17:03] but use with cars [17:03] care [17:04] Hey hey , what is this !!! I see "create image" and "restore image" option when I go to "more option" on a partition in the disks app [17:04] you might need to tell bios which drive to boot from first [17:04] This needs some investigation :-) === Guest85024 is now known as Spaceghost [17:08] I wonder if this makes an exact image , including the boot sector ? [17:08] where you found that [17:08] The application "disks" [17:09] disk utility [17:09] If you click on a drive that is not mounted [17:09] Yeah [17:09] And then on the gear icon [17:09] ah [17:09] It opens a list of options [17:09] One of them is "create disk image" [17:10] I wonder if there is more info about it on ubuntu site ? [17:11] try man disk utility [17:11] I can never remember that site's addy [17:11] wiki.ubuntu.com ? [17:11] ? [17:11] or was it help.ubuntu.com [17:12] i dunno if man has pages for disk utility [17:12] Gonna def try find more info on that [17:12] Ok ,gonna boot back to main drive [17:12] Maaz, google disk utility man pages [17:12] Kilos: "diskutil(8) Mac OS X Manual Page - Apple Developer" http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/diskutil.8 :: "Disk Utility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_Utility :: "Palimpsest Disk Utility Manual - GNOME Library" https://help.gnome.org/users/palimpsest/ :: "Palimpsest Disk [17:12] Utility Manual" https://help.gnome.org/users/palimpsest/stable/ :: "diskutil OSX Man Page | … [17:34] Can't find anything on that [17:40] Nice , jsut found out I can mount an iso in disk utility and view it in nautilus [18:17] sorry i was busy with android [18:36] night all . sleep tight [18:39] Nag oom , lekker slaap [18:40] dankie seun jy ook [18:51] mazal: eish, you make me cringe! [18:52] you really prefer NTFS? [18:57] For drive that holds backup data yes [18:57] if it's windows backup data sure, but Linux backups? [18:57] Yep is better [18:57] ai! [18:58] Except for the clones [18:58] you loose all Linux file attributes if you do that [18:58] You don't want that on data [18:58] Remember I'm talking raw data like music , pics , videos etc. [18:58] hmm... you maybe, not me [19:00] On the active machine or server of course you need it , but in the backup it is much quicker and easier to get to them if they not restricted by permissions [19:00] you talk as if Linux file permissions are really so difficult to manage [19:00] it's simple, really [19:01] NTFS permissions can make you fail big time as well [19:01] all depends how you use it [19:02] It's one step less if you need to restore , and it all depends on the situation as well [19:02] * inetpro hates proprietary NTFS with a passion [19:03] For example , lets say my docs is backed up on an ext4 drive [19:03] Now on my new install I changed my username [19:03] why would you do that? [19:03] I'm gonna have to changed ownership on all of them [19:04] If they on a ntfs , I have full access and permission is changed automatically when copying in [19:05] I had another situation where the backup changed all permission from username to UUID. With that situation I couldn't even access the data with gksudo nautilus [19:06] I had to first change the ownership to username and then I could access it [19:06] Is just little unneccesary steps on a restore that wastes time [19:06] hmm... something sounds fishy here [19:07] Nothing fishy , just making it easier for myself [19:08] how can the backup change all permission from username to UUID? [19:08] It is a sync made with parted magic [19:09] doesn't make sense to me [19:09] Wasn't made from in ubuntu , and I was stunned also [19:09] what you say doesn't make sense [19:09] When I plugged that drive into an ubuntu box everything was uuid [19:09] I dunno , that's what happened [19:10] you mean the words 'uuid'? [19:10] s/words/word/ [19:11] No the owner for example brom barrydk to uuid 500 [19:11] So it was totally locked on the Ubuntu box I lugged it into [19:11] ahh, but that is really simple [19:12] But unnessesary [19:13] I fixed it with chown yes , but I don't need that extra step retrieving data out of a backup [19:14] it just means that the files belonged to UID 500 previously and your uid on the new system was probably something like 1000 [19:14] Yeah I know [19:14] And like I said , fixed it with chown [19:15] My point is , it is an unnecessary step [19:15] Backed up data don't need those ownerships and permissions [19:15] Only system backups does [19:15] if you're really dealing with NTFS you would have the same issues moving stuff across systems with different usernames [19:16] Never had a problem [19:16] NTFS doesn't take the linux permissions [19:16] you sure you really backing up to NTFS and not VFAT? [19:16] Yep , NTFS [19:17] ok, but then your username didn't really change [19:17] it was just the UID that changed [19:17] No , the one the UUID changed was a backup to an ext4 drive [19:18] I used to backup to ext4 [19:18] from what OS? [19:18] Untill I got those permissions issues [19:18] Ubuntu and parted magic [19:19] explain what you mean with parted magic? [19:19] Oh , and once it changed to root [19:19] And then after that backups failed for more than a week before I picked it up [19:19] you mean the parted magic OS? [19:19] Parted magic I use for full clones , that have to be done to ext4 as well [19:20] Have no choice there [19:20] But the Ubuntu ones also used to run to ext4 , and changed that to NTFS [19:20] ai! [19:21] I had various issues with it , so just changed to ntfs [19:21] that hurts man [19:21] The one where it changed to root was my own mistake though [19:22] My normal daily backups I run with plain rsync's. So I was in terminal , making a remaster iso , but that is done in root mode [19:23] So forgot to exit root mode before running daily , bang everything changed to root [19:23] Didn't know realise it [19:23] sounds like you're doing something wrong, but then I don't know your needs [19:23] Following days backups fails because no permission to verwrite those files lol [19:23] No , I am just making it easier on myself [19:24] I would really not jump between filesystems like that if I was you [19:24] can mess things up big time [19:24] I basically just removed the need for chown in certain cases [19:25] Why ? [19:25] you can easily script chown into your procedure if it boils down to it [19:27] how much data are you talking about here anyway? [19:27] Another thing I got once , pc crashed badly enough for re-install. Only thing I had to burn iso with was a Win 7 laptop. So couldn't access my iso's in the backup. [19:28] Sjoe , a lot , bout 1tb [19:28] others users' data? [19:28] Nope , my own [19:28] Software , videos , music etc [19:29] you can always boot up with a live cd [19:29] I didn't have one [19:29] I had to burn one of my iso [19:29] And that NEVER happened again. After that always have latest burned iso on dvd and usb [19:30] get one and get rid of that proprietary stuffs [19:30] Why ? [19:30] I only got unneccesary problems with my backups to ext4 [19:31] what else do you need windows for? [19:32] Problems I got wasn't with Windows , was with Ubuntu [19:33] Or you mean why is Windows on my laptop ? [19:33] exactly [19:33] you still talk as if windows is this magic potion that everyone still needs [19:33] Nooooooooooooooooooo [19:33] I hate windows [19:34] I never talked windows up [19:34] so why you still depend on it's filesystem [19:34] All I am saying the whole time is I don't need the permissions and ownerships in my backup data [19:35] And don't want it there as it made me struggle before [19:35] the problem is with your backup procedure, not your permissions as such [19:35] NTFS just happens not to keep linux permissions , is why I use it [19:36] Backup procedure is fine [19:36] Is just a simple linux fact that user that transfers the data owns the data and can't be accessed on system without that same user [19:36] Nothing wrong with that [19:37] And I'm not saying there is [19:37] root owns everything [19:37] It is just my preference to not have ownerships in my backed up data is all [19:38] And I know is easy fixable with things like chown , done it , knows how it works. Just don't want that extra step [19:38] As well as preventing blonde mistakes like my root one also [19:38] * inetpro prefers to keep file attributes in tact as far as possible [19:39] The one thing I do that is with my clones. There I run rsync's to ext4 with full permissions settings in place. System files I don't muck about [19:40] But I have yet to see or hear a good reason to do that with just raw data [19:40] A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing -- George Bernard Shaw [19:43] Exactly [19:44] what I'm trying to say is that you should learn from your mistakes and move on [19:44] storing linux based backups on NTFS just for the sake of trimming file attributes is a mistake [19:45] Why ? [19:45] it's unnecessary [19:45] No it isn't [19:45] Mounts easier , copies back easier [19:45] only because you know it [19:45] That's another little niggle I had [19:46] ext4 externals kept mounting as root [19:46] get to know your new OS [19:46] It's not new to me [19:46] how long have you been using it? [19:47] 2002 [19:47] hmm.... [19:47] Not ubuntu though [19:47] Started with RH [19:47] and you still depend on NTFS? [19:47] No , I make things easier for myself [19:47] you really have to part with that MS tax? [19:49] If there were any good reason to keep raw data backups on ext4 I would have , but there isn't [19:51] I'm gonna crash. Enjoy the rest of the evening. [19:51] but hang on, what about performance? [19:51] ai! [21:28] hello o/ === Spaceghost is now known as Guest4454 === Guest4454 is now known as Spaceghost
