| ShawnR | good evening gents (and ladies?) | 03:01 |
| ShawnR | I was reading about trying to add a new SATA HDD without rebooting the PC, I saw to initiate a scan by echo "- - -" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan (where host0 is the host you need to rescan)... but I get permission denied (I am running it using the sudo command). Is there anything else I need to do? I'm running 12.04 server | 03:02 |
| ShawnR | nvm, found the solution | 03:23 |
| ShawnR | sudo sh -c "echo "'- - -'" > /sys/class/scsi_host/host0/scan" | 03:23 |
| Nothing_Much | Hi ShawnR | 03:52 |
| Nothing_Much | Oh okay | 03:52 |
| Nothing_Much | I don't know the solution tho | 03:52 |
| ShawnR | hi Nothing_Much | 03:57 |
| ShawnR | it's ok, i figurd it out (well, google and some russian site helped out) | 03:57 |
| Nothing_Much | oh nice | 03:57 |
| ShawnR | I had to encapsulate the entire command in a sudo by doing the sudo sh -c command | 03:57 |
| Nothing_Much | whatever that means lol | 03:57 |
| Nothing_Much | That's a bit advanced for me | 03:59 |
| ShawnR | it helps that I carry over a pretty good knowledge of batch scripting in windows | 04:00 |
| Nothing_Much | oh my | 04:00 |
| Nothing_Much | I have no knowledge on languages and stuff lol | 04:01 |
| Nothing_Much | Man I wish there was an alternative to Impress | 04:01 |
| ShawnR | well, scripting, at the most basic form, is just the exact same thing you'd type in the terminal or at the command prompt... | 04:01 |
| Nothing_Much | Really big lack of sounds during a slideshow | 04:01 |
| Nothing_Much | ohh | 04:01 |
| ShawnR | it's ok, MS PowerPoint on Windows 7 can't even properly play embedded WMV files (but plays mp4 fine) | 04:02 |
| Nothing_Much | oh wow | 04:02 |
| Nothing_Much | yeahbut | 04:02 |
| Nothing_Much | It works on WIndows | 04:02 |
| Nothing_Much | Not Ubuntu | 04:02 |
| Nothing_Much | :( | 04:02 |
| Nothing_Much | I've been obsessing over this bug | 04:02 |
| ShawnR | good time to learn to code a bit :P | 04:03 |
| ShawnR | the best way i learned stuff is in time of need and using the reverse engineering trick | 04:03 |
| Nothing_Much | nah, not too interested, it's that and I have a learning/social disability | 04:03 |
| ShawnR | not to make light of that, but i've seen many times where some random situation has been able to overcome that, with the right amount of interest and determination about a certain project (I have a cousin with mild autism) | 04:05 |
| Nothing_Much | Asperger's? | 04:05 |
| ShawnR | yeah, but it's not full on... but i think they still technically classify it as so | 04:06 |
| ShawnR | i get kinda confused when they talk about what it actually is | 04:06 |
| Nothing_Much | ah, well I got Asperger's | 04:07 |
