matjuHi, I have a problem. When I try to use menus, the mouse cursor goes behind the menubar (invisible). When click "under" a menu header, it does as if I press left arrow repeatedly (moves to menus to the left of where I clicked) and it moves the mouse cursor on its own. When I put the cursor where the dock is, it appears through the dock instead of in front of it. It only happens sometimes, but when it does, I have to logout to revert to normal. Any ide00:54

RudeViperroundcircle, that is what I am going to use - I am just wondering about the destop - not a fan of Unity - which of the other three XFCE KDE LXDE would be the easiest to get started with - most of the documentation I see focuses on Unity for obvious resons01:01
bekksrgb-one: what if?01:02
CreeThat's crazy talk!01:02
rypervencheRudeViper: Depends on the resources available to you and what you want out of your machine.01:03

roundcircleRudeViper: rypervenche and which style you like01:04
rgb-onebekks: No Ubuntu related question.01:04
RudeViperdual core processor - 4gb ram - 55ti nvidia graphics card - so resources aren't a problem I would think - which is easiest to learn with - I have messed with all of them that I mentioned but not enough to know which is really good for the beginner01:04

brenthey guys, is there a release/beta for ubuntu desktop with the kernel that01:05
RudeViperok - btw - that last drive crashed - the one I wanted the check run on01:05
rypervencheRudeViper: I would look at some screenshots online for each DE and see which one you like the best. As far as resources go, KDE and Gnome will use up the most, then Xfce, then lxde. Lxde is very light, but lacking in features/beauty.01:05
brentdoesnt require a reboot01:05
CompuDesktopbrent: u cant update the kernel without a reboot01:06
laskobrent: If you are upgrading to a new kernel -- then you will always need to reboot in order for that kernel to be used.01:06
MarkRogersRudeViper:  I say go with XFCE.  Straightforward solid desktop, plenty customizable, mature, easy.01:06
rypervencheRudeViper: I prefer Xfce out of all of those you named. But it should be a decision that you research.01:06
RudeViperMarkRogers - ok thanks01:06
brentim on 14.04, which still requires reboots after updates etc. I heard there is a kernel release that allows updates without rebooting01:07
CompuDesktopRudeViper: i myself prefer the ubuntu main release, its more resource heavy but i like the design01:07
laskobrent: Updating packages don't require reboots, but if you are upgrading something major -- for instance-- a kernel -- then you would have to01:07
bekksbrent: Which is untrue. You need to run Oracle Linux 7 at least for patching your kernel at runtime.01:07
CompuDesktopbrent: no, and u only have to reboot for updates that r updating something that is in use while the operating system is running01:08
Bashing-omRudeViper:  Beginner tutorials : http://blog.jdpfu.com/2014/12/28/learning-linux . Takes time and useage to decide on the DE that "you" prefer - mine is XFCE .01:08
RudeViperthanks for that link01:08
CompuDesktopRudeViper: KDE is my secondary preference01:08
CompuDesktopGnome looks nice but i've had problems with bugs01:09
CompuDesktopGnome 3 that is01:09
RudeViperI have a great deal of unfavorable things about gnome3 - if I go the gnome route - I would prefer to stay with gnome201:10
brentok, i was just hoping that there was a way to have my ubuntu desktop up 24/7 without having to reboot on important updates. I remember reading a while a go that something (kernel?) had an update that allowed the system to never have to reboot. I can't remember what linux it was.01:10
laskobrent: You never need to reboot, just like you never need to update. Updates are optional and only needed when you have a need to update. e.g. security or bug fixes to particular applications/libraries you use regularly.01:12
MarkRogersRudeViper, I go for unity since I mainly use a laptop and I have plenty of width but not enough height on my screen, and unity uses a side panel.01:13
OerHeksbrent, what you might have heard is that systemD had that feature, updates will be plugged in live01:13
rypervencheRudeViper: Gnome2 does not exist anymore. Check out the Desktop Environment part of http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ultimate-linux-guide-for-windows-users.html01:14
OerHeksmate desktop is the closest gnome2 look on gnome301:14
brentlasko, it seems then i have misinterpreted01:14
MarkRogersRudeViper, also you might not know but you can have lxde, xfce, and unity all installed and just pick which one each time you want.  Right now I'm on a laptop originally installed as lubuntu but with ubuntu packages installed and I'm logged in using unity, so it's like I'm using ubuntu.01:15
crash__hey guys, newbie here, anybody know how to use the crouton ubuntu installer for the chromebook? If so, I just installed trusty to a flash drive, it finished with "Done!

NeldogzWhat is the proper way to change your default domain name in Ubuntu 14 from machine1.home to machine1.mydomain ?02:17
Ben64Neldogz: where do you see machine1.home02:20
pavlosNeldogz, /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts02:23
pavlosNeldogz, man hostname02:24
Neldogzpavlos, where is .home being set?02:26
pavlosNeldogz, I dont know, I just gave it a hostname upon install, no dot home02:27
Neldogzpavlos, so did i.. yet it's coming up on the network as machine1.home02:28
Neldogzlooking in the resolv.conf file it appears a search suffix is added in there of home02:28
Neldogzbut since we cant edit this file by hand.. where can we?02:28
Ben64Neldogz: where are you seeing it come up as .home02:29
NeldogzBen64, try pinging your own host name and add a .local02:29
Neldogzor .home02:29
marcospmshi02:29
Ben64Neldogz: doesn't work02:30
pavlosNeldogz, you can just type hostname mynewhostname, then reboot02:30
Geopavelz: very astute. The client would initially be sent an IP on a dynamic basis with which to register it on the network. Once its on, I'm done with the 'dynamic' part. Making it static from that point on.02:30
GeoMonkeyDust, I'll try there as well, thanks02:30
gr33n7007hyou don't even have to reboot02:30
Ben64if you do change your hostname though, be sure to change it also in /etc/hosts02:30
pavlosGeo, I assume by pavelz you mean my name ... this is more a networking issue, you can actually 'lock' an ip using the mac address.02:32

mrnorrismanhey03:32
datahead8888hello03:32
mrnorrismanI am having an issue with trying to install the amd catalyst drivers03:33
datahead8888mrnorrisman,  if I build something from source, how do I tell it to install in /lib rather than /usr/local/lib?  I used sudo make install03:33
mrnorrismanum i have no clue sorry im pretty much a newb at linux :P03:33
datahead8888I don't know on the amd question, sorry03:33
mutualdatahead8888 mrnorrisman if you both wait around a bit you should get your questions answered03:35
mrnorrismanWill do! :P03:35
Ben64datahead8888: it shouldn't matter where it goes, and you should really avoid compiling stuff whenever possible. there are tons of packages available in the ubuntu repositories, and even more available from PPAs03:35
mutualmrnorrisman you should elaborate on the problem though03:35
datahead8888Ben64, I'm compiling a library from source, and I can see while debugging that the second app I'm working on that uses it is looking in the other directory03:36
datahead8888When I build the library, it goes to /usr/local/lib03:36
Ben64yeah thats normal, but you should really find a PPA or find the library in the normal repositories03:36
datahead8888When I build the app I'm going to work on (with cmake) it looks in the /lib directory - I can see this because I told it to print the include variable it has03:36
Ben64sounds like a bad app then03:37
datahead8888I got the app from someone else in a university research lab - he had built it on Windows, but the library has been used by several people03:37
mrnorrismanWell basically I am trying to use the AMD catalyst drivers instead of the open-source ubuntu ones... But when I finally got the drivers "installed" when i reboot the system it was stuck at the splash screen and I had to run in recovery mode then remove the catalyst drivers :/03:38
datahead8888I would assume there's some way to tell Ubuntu to use or not use the /usr directory while installing03:38
Ben64using /usr is the proper way, the application is in the wrong by not looking in normal places for libraries, also please look for it in the repositories i mentioned!!!03:39
mrnorrismandatahead8888, this may help?  ./configure --prefix=/your/path $$ make && make install03:39
mrnorrismanwhere /your/path is where you want to install your program.03:39
datahead8888I doubt this stuff in in the repositories (though the library is in github)03:40
Ben64datahead8888: stop doubting and start looking03:40
mrnorrismandatahead8888, did you try using that ./configure --prefix-/your/path $$ make && make install thingy i mentioned?03:43
datahead8888I wasn't sure what it would do if I did that; I was first looking for a repo as Ben64 suggested03:44
datahead8888I'd need to know what path to put for prefix -- / ?03:44
mrnorrismanisnt the path /lib?03:46
datahead8888I need includ files to go to /include and libraries to go to /lib03:47
datahead8888Sorry, I should have been more specific03:47
Ben64there is no /include03:47
datahead8888indeed, you are correct03:47
datahead8888I need to look into configuring the library that I built to change its install directories03:48
Ben64what library is it03:48
datahead8888This one:03:48
datahead8888https://github.com/GRAVITYLab/OSUFlow03:48

datahead8888It uses OpenGL, yes03:49

datahead8888Maybe, if I can't configure it03:50
datahead8888I can email them if needed03:50

[n0mad]cyberpolice, this may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowtoPartition/PartitioningBasics#Partitioning_basics it explains it04:54
cyberpolicethanks04:55
[n0mad]basically you could have primary partitions and then extended partitions. logical partitions would be inside of the extended partition04:55
[n0mad]but i don't know a good way really to identify them in linux...still getting used to the different tools and what they show04:56

PrincessHollySIs it possible to chage the directory grub-efi installs it's bootloader into? My Sister's toshiba laptop has a shitty UEFI implimentation and will only boot if the file is located in a very specific directory. Currently moved it there manually, but that means if grub is updated it won't actually update the .efi file.07:01
abhishek_hplip tool canot detect my hp g4010 scanner .. I have tried with xsane .. but it displays black image07:05
PrincessHollySabhishek_, have you updated hplip with the HP version? The verion in ubuntu is super outdated...07:06
abhishek_PrincesHollyS I am using ubuntu 12.1007:06
abhishek_Os is update as I installed hplip yesterday07:07
abhishek_from repo07:07
PrincessHollySagain, the HPLIP in ubuntu is super outdated. Try updating with the one from the HP website.07:07
PrincessHollySSee if you still have issues.07:08
PrincessHollySactually my apologies, scanjets aren't supported by hplip07:11
lightahi here, so quick question, how can I list only subdir, but not the current directory ?07:11
abhishek_princessholly .. actually it can not detect my device ..07:11
abhishek_do u know how can i debug what is exact problem ?07:12
PrincessHollySabhishek_, yes. hplip doesn't support scanjet devices.07:12
PrincessHollySI just doublechecked07:12
PrincessHollySYou need the sane driver for it, not the hplip one07:12
PrincessHollySDo you have sane-genesys installed?07:12
abhishek_sane-genesys is not available in repo !! I tried07:13
PrincessHollySlibsane-common is the package it's part of07:13
abhishek_ok I am trying07:13
abhishek_let me check this one .. If image is comming black this must be a driver problem ..07:14
abhishek_thank u so much pricessholly07:14
abhishek_:)07:14
EriC^^PrincessHollyS: you could add your own line to /etc/default/grub07:16
EriC^^sudo cp .../ubuntu/shimx64.efi .../Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi07:17
EriC^^sorry, no sudo07:18
PrincessHollySEriC^^, I already did that, but put it under the /EFI/Boot directory, rather than /EFI?Microsoft so as not to override the windows bootloader. But how do I tell ubuntu where to put the grub stubloader if it needs to update?07:19
EriC^^PrincessHollyS: i have no idea, i'm not sure grub has files with that or it's in its binary07:20
PrincessHollySabhishek_, reading up on that driver and iit seems the kernel scanner driver can interfere with it. Did you try running "rmmod scanner" before scanning?07:20
EriC^^PrincessHollyS: i meant you could add that line at the end of /etc/default/grub , i just tried touch ~/bla and it got executed when i ran update-grub07:21
EriC^^if you add that line it would copy over the grub .efi file every time it updates grub07:21
PrincessHollySI guess that would work yeah07:22
EriC^^i wonder if it modified /boot/grub/grub.cfg in any way, grep bla returns nothing07:22
PrincessHollySJust seems an awkward way to do it xD07:22
EriC^^yeah i know, i thought about using the preinst scripts and such but it would need some magic almost07:23
EriC^^unless grub has a config file that doesn't get overwritten when apt upgrades the version07:23
EriC^^maybe there's a cleaner more elegant way, who knows :D07:24
StiflerHey! I'm no expert on grub2, but found this: http://www.rodsbooks.com/efi-bootloaders/grub2.html Does it help? He mentions creating stanzas in /etc/grub.d/40_custom07:26
abhishek_PrincesshollyS : no07:27
abhishek_PricenssHollyS what  is actual issue with grub ?07:27
Stiflerits probably more about menu opts..07:28
StiflerDoes talk about chainloading; perhaps an option?07:30
EriC^^PrincessHollyS: you're going to need to do something similar anyways, cause i dont think you can have grub install its bootloader in another dir using another name too07:30
PrincessHollySYup, did that. Just didn't like doing it :P07:32
EriC^^PrincessHollyS: you mean you added it to /etc/default/grub?07:33
PrincessHollySWish she would just let me give her rEFInd xD07:33
PrincessHollySyeah07:33
EriC^^k let me try it out first and reboot07:33
PrincessHollySIt's working fine here07:34
EriC^^did you try rebooting yet?07:34
PrincessHollySYeah07:34
EriC^^ok cool07:34
PrincessHollySThe grub.cfg is fine.07:34
PrincessHollySStifler, another stupid question, are there secureboot signed versions of the grub modules, like videoinfo?07:37
PrincessHollySoops, not sure why that name was at the beginning, sorry.07:38
Stiflerlol! As I said, no expert on grub. Been interesting following though! any knowledge is good knowledge!!07:39
PrincessHollySYeah, my apologies. As I said, I didn't mean to say your name there.07:39
EriC^^PrincessHollyS: i figured out a slightly more elegant solution07:45
PrincessHollySOh? What's that?07:45
EriC^^make your own script in /usr/lib/os-probes/mounted/efi/ and chmod it07:45
EriC^^it'll execute when update-grub runs07:45
EriC^^i made one called bla, it worked07:46
EriC^^btw are you dual booting?07:46
PrincessHollySShe is yep. Windows 8.1, Windows XP, and Ubuntu 1407:48
EriC^^wow07:48
bepoliteHello07:48
bepoliteI can't seem to run nodejs packages from  my terminal in ubuntu07:48
bepoliteAny tips07:49
EriC^^PrincessHollyS: does windows boot normally?07:49
EriC^^PrincessHollyS: i had to modify the 20microsoft file in that dir so os-prober picked up the right .efi after i renamed it07:49
PrincessHollySWindows boots fine. But that's because there was a stubloader at /EFI/Boot/Bootx64.efi that loaded into the toshiba stubloader which in turn loaded the windows loader...07:50
EriC^^how does windows xp boot with uefi?07:50
PrincessHollySSo I replaced that first one with shim and grub07:50
EriC^^i mean how's she booting it?07:51
PrincessHollySEric, it's a hybrid UEFI/Bios07:51

DoverMoiyogeshjoshi: if you issue iwconfig, you should see a 'tx' followed by a '#db', this is your wifi's strength in db!09:57
DoverMooverclocking beyond the highest db is always dangerous09:57
DoverMoyou'll fry the chip09:57
DoverMotry buy a 20db chip if you are having trouble, or upgrade the router09:58
minimeciyogeshjoshi: connect with 2.4GHz instead of 5GHz, disable the 'n' network and only connect with wireless 'g'.09:58

RensoukenIndeed I did10:37
RensoukenBut could you help me link my Cent OS server with my linux Mint setup over ssh10:37
Rensouken?10:37
Ben64since none of that involves Ubuntu, no10:37
DoverMoRensouken: and you read that you should ask your question and be patient and when the seniors say "read the manual" you will read the manual and be completely lost?10:37
RensoukenWell, that was my point10:38
DoverMowell openssh should be platform independant10:38
RensoukenI was under the impression10:38
Rensoukenthat Linux Mint was Ubuntu10:38
RensoukenI guess I was wrong10:38
earthworks95@Rensouken, May be ask at the #FSF or the #GNU channel10:39

ubottuLinux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org10:39
DoverMolinux mint uses ubuntu stuff, but it's technically not... .associated with it10:39
Ben64indeed. mint is based on Ubuntu but is not Ubuntu. Mint has their own support channel10:39
RensoukenThank you. You have all been so helpfull10:39

sxrvyI'm loading from a DVD so I set the DVD to load before the HDD14:34

QuantosNishi, have you tried using the GRUB Configuration tool14:47
minimecanarx: Ok. 'Kernel Panic' is not so good... Would you be able to use a different version of Ubuntu on a USB stick to verify, whether it is a kernel problem? Like using ubuntu 12.04 instead of 14.04 for example?14:47

ZIPYEriC^^: u  mentioned changing the resoultion in grub, but doesnt it only affect the bootscreen? i think it wont work in xorg after DE is started15:02

MoPacI have a question about how launcher icon double-clicks invoke Scale in multi-viewport setups. At the moment, the behavior I see is that a double click gives you a Scale spread of all windows of that program group, but only if there are multiple windows of that program in the current viewport, and it only includes windows from that viewport. (cont...)15:43
k1l_stecky: put all the output then into a pastebin15:44
MoPac(...cont) Otherwise, it either takes you to a viewport where there is a window for that program (if there are none in the current one), or, if there is one such window in the current viewport, it just raises it, and further clicks do nothing.  I'd love to set the behavior so that a double click gives a scale presentation of *every* window for that program, regardless of the viewport. Possible?15:45

RMJi'm finding i'm getting appalling wifi reception in my ubuntu 14.04 system (other laptops in the vicinity are fine, as is the same laptop on its Win8 dual boot). It's a broadcom  BCM43142  onboard adapter17:54
arthurfiggisKnightsOfNi, from my experience anyway, and that's just my experience so take it for what it's worth :) but if a server has been compromised...you need to have very good backups that you can verify, then you need to take the system offline asap, flatten it completely and restore user data from the backups that you (hopefully) kept...not as helpful as i'd like but practically that's the best approach17:54
RMJthaxy  - try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows17:54
RMJusing boot-repair is fairly straightforwards17:55
RudeVipernot they aren't the wrong ones - I need to install them into the desktop not the server -17:55
arthurfiggisKnightsOfNi, i'd also recommend installing something like rkhunter on the server before it's brought back online, it does some simple monitoring of some system-critical files...tripwire is more complicated to set up but provides much better monitoring17:55
OerHeksRudeViper, oke, for the desktop guide https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/Keys17:56
thaxy2thanks I will give it a trz RMJ17:56
arthurfiggiscfoster, sorry, i missed your question initially...setting up time-based processes or programs running is usually cron's job, to pardon the pun :) i'm not familiar with configuring cron personally, but i'd imagine the website/similar wiki pages have a lot of info on how to set up a cron job to run (and terminate) whatever program you would like17:57
arthurfiggiscfoster, (/etc/cron.daily contains scripts that run on a daily basis for example, reading those as examples might be helpful)17:58
RMJare wifi issues above likely to be driver related?18:00
RudeViperok all of these instructions are for generating keys on the server and then putting them on the desktop machine while connected- I have them already - how to install them on the desktop but can't connect to finish that part of the process18:01
thaxyThank you so much that helped. Where ist the boot loader installed and can you only have one?18:03
EriC^^cfoster: man 5 crontab, basically you want 0 22 * * * command to turn at 10pm and 0 6 * * * command to turn off at 6am18:03
EriC^^cfoster: if you open a terminal and type man 5 crontab it explains more, crontab -e edits the current user's crontab18:04
RMJthaxy - should only need one, check it loads all your os's18:04

hitherehi, I'm trying to create a usb boot disk for ubuntu via mac os x. This is being made for a windows machine, however. I formatted the disk to MS-DOS FAT, downloaded the ISO, and used unetbootin to create the disk. When I boot to the USB on the windows machine, all I see is a black screen and a white flashing line. What did I do wrong?18:22

aisatOk to be a bit more specific. I can't connect to my wired connection, here's what I know. My system see's a wired connection 1, and the motherboard adapter lights up so it seems to recognize that there's a connection. When I run lshw -C network I get some product info so, I guess the system finds the network card? nm-tool tells me it's disconnected18:35

puffI'm making this bootable/persistent live thumb drive to let a friend test drive ubuntu.  The drive is 4GB.  Relatively speaking, how much space should I allocate to the install vs. persistence for them?18:35
ZiRiSlol ty k1l18:36
aisatAlso, I've tried the cable.. that ain't the problem :(18:36
arthurfiggispuff: i've managed to get by with 1GB for the installation files and 1GB for persistence on a 2GB thumb drive, so with a 4GB drive, I would say leave 1-1.5GB for Ubuntu and you could probably use the rest of the space for persistence :) i've not done it in a while though, so you might want to check with someone who has18:37

puffOerHeks, arthurfiggis: this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent seems to suggest opening the thumb drive with gparted and creating a separate, ext4 partition named casper-rw for the persistence.18:38
puffOerHeks, arthurfiggis:  Is this a good idea?  It doesn't clearly say whether you should or shouldn't.18:39
aisatZir18:39
puffOerHeks, arthurfiggis:  Also, the page said there would be a slider control for persistence size, but it didn't have one for me.18:39
aisatZiRiS: how do I do that, haha sorry a bit new18:39
arthurfiggispuff: hmm...strange, i've always tended to let the usb creator handle it on its own, i'm not sure why the slider control would be absent...i'll try and find a usb thumb drive around here somewhere and see if i can test it out myself, i'm running 14.10 however, not sure what release you're running18:40
puffarthurfiggis: Yoiks, putting lubuntu on it used up 1.69GB.18:40
aisatZiRiS: think I found it nvm :)18:40
puffarthurfiggis: 14.0418:41
puffarthurfiggis: 14.04 LTS.18:41
arthurfiggispuff: ahh, i see...starting up the usb creator in 14.10 the slider is at the bottom, though i can't imagine why it wouldn't appear in 14.04, unless there was some bug fix in that regard :/ i may have a 14.04 image, i'll start that up in a virtual machine and see whether or not the slider appears18:42
puffWhen I went to right-click unmount the thumb drive:  Failed to eject "4.0 GB Volume"\n  A drive that is part of the same device is in use: Device /dev/sr1 is mounted.18:43

arthurfiggispuff: ahh, i see...sorry, was just in another window verifying it was there in the 14.04 image that i have :) hmm...unfortunately i don't have a usb thumb drive smaller than 8gb to test it with though, on the 32gb one i have it's not grayed out but i know that's not very helpful! perhaps someone else here might know what causes the slider itself to be grayed out though18:46
arthurfiggispuff: though for testing purposes 1gb of persistent space might be fine...on the other hand if more is required, that might be what they recommend creating a partition manually for?18:47
puffarthurfiggis: Yeah.18:48
puffarthurfiggis: I'm going to try it out and see if it works, see if perisistence works as is, and then I'll look at making a separate persistence partition.18:48
arthurfiggispuff: probably a safe idea! sorry i couldn't offer more advice, if i can find a <=4GB thumb drive around here to test it out with i'll pop back in here and let you know (if you're still around of course ;) )18:50

arthurfiggispuff, unfortunately a lot of usb thumb drives don't have very fast read/write access times, even less so for usb 1.x and 2.x-based ones :/ they're good for getting a feel for things and making sure that it boots, but probably not something i'd use for day-to-day operation19:20
puffarthurfiggis: Yeah, I was hoping it would be reasonably fast (compared to winxp....) and give them a nice taste of linux.19:21
puffThe disk is only 52GB and winxp takes up 43GB, but I still might be better off installing a dual boot for them...19:21
arthurfiggispuff, not a very good access time for a demo, i'd agree! i'm not sure how you'd get around that, to be honest...the PC I have currently only has usb 2.x ports, the access times to usb _hard drives_ is good, but thumb drives not so much :/ if the system is capable of dual booting (a winxp machine should be), i'd probably go with that...the winxp partition would even be accessible from ubuntu, so if they needed to move files over from19:22

puffProbably be easier to just pick up a cheap but larger HD for their current laptop.19:27

gcbirzanLOrne: If you see anything in there, it's not a permissions issue, so, are you sure it actually exists?20:10
gcbirzanteward: Argh. Sorry... I wrote this 5 times but got distracted by another window and deleted it. I was just a bit frustrated, especially since I knew I was in the right place but was told "oh, make sure you download it from the right place". And the donation thing, but, again, sorry20:12
LOrneunder devices it only says "computer"...and I have 3 hard drives in the machine right now (!)20:13
cfosterHello, does anyone know a good website for writing scripts to do stuff in Linux?20:13
gcbirzancfoster: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ It's a bit dated, but a good start20:14
gcbirzanoh, it's being updated nowadays....20:14
LOrnebut in the DISKS utility - it shows all three HD's there... but in FILES, DEVICES it only shows "Computer"20:14
gcbirzanLOrne: Is anything on this drive you're talking about?20:15

LOrneyes.  my sdc drive has about 1T of music I want off :)20:15
minimecLOrne: In a console... 'lsblk -o NAME,FSTYPE,SIZE,MOUNTPOINT,LABEL | pastebinit' You may have to install 'sudo apt-get install pastebinit' before.20:16
minimecLOrne: That command will list all available drives...20:17

tewardgcbirzan: (the download button problem).  thanks.20:25
gcbirzanI don't expect there's much _I_ can do about it :P20:25

LOrneminimec so I'm not normal :P ?20:26
akira__Omg20:26
gcbirzanLOrne: Is it mounted, if you run mount?20:27
LOrneminimec you should know I built this machine myself...and installed ubuntu myself...and may have missed a step...so if there is a mistake - it may be my own fault20:27
LOrnegcbirzan  you ,mean mount it from DISKS utility?20:28
gcbirzanLOrne: I mean, if you type in a console "mount"20:28
gcbirzanLOrne: but, the other one could work20:29
akira__my ping is killing me20:30
LOrnegcbirzan ok this ,might be the problem... MOUNT in terminal only seems to provide data on SBA ... not the others20:30
gcbirzanLOrne: It's not really a problem.20:31
gcbirzanLOrne: it just means it wasn't mounted.20:31
LOrneok so how do I mount it?20:31
gcbirzanLOrne: If you try to mount it from whatever tool you were talking about before, what happens?20:31
gcbirzanLOrne: Alternatively, you can make a directory in /mnt, say /mnt/music (as root, so sudo mkdir /mnt/music), then you run sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/music20:32
catbustersEric^^: Couldn't I just use tree instead of gvfs-tree?20:32
catbustersSorry, EriC^^20:33
EriC^^catbusters: i guess20:33
EriC^^gvfs-tree is already installed though in ubuntu though20:34
catbustersEriC^^: Yeah, I used it on Ubuntu, but I was asking because it isn't available on OS X20:34
LOrneit seems the DISKS utility wont give me the option to mount it20:37
