03:22 | | AnnoDomini [~farkoff@Nightstar-29463.neoplus.adsl.tpnet.pl] has quit [Quit: Juffo-wup is a *candle*. It is filled with many *candy bars*.] |
04:58 | | Takyoji [~Takyoji@Nightstar-25280.dhcp.roch.mn.charter.com] has joined #code |
04:59 | < Takyoji> | I installed another HD. But apparently it isn't appearing in "My Computer", the computer has the driver installed, but I can't access it. |
04:59 | < Takyoji> | BUT, I didn't put a jumper pin on it |
04:59 | < Takyoji> | My other harddrive is ironically set as a slave, |
05:00 | < Takyoji> | so... do I set it as a master? (A to B) |
05:21 | < Takyoji> | Is anyone actually alive? |
05:22 | < Takyoji> | Otherwise, can a Windows partion work with a Linux partion? |
05:29 | | Takyoji [~Takyoji@Nightstar-25280.dhcp.roch.mn.charter.com] has quit [Quit: Leaving] |
05:36 | < Ev3> | CS |
05:36 | < Ev3> | ANd what OS are we talking? |
05:41 | < Stephenie> | Of course Windows can work with a linux partition o_O however not highley recommended *gags* and install windows first so it does fubarb linux boot loader :) |
05:41 | | * Stephenie slinks and hides and goes to fix her colors |
05:43 | < Stephenie> | doesnt* |
05:46 | | Takyoji [~Takyoji@Nightstar-25280.dhcp.roch.mn.charter.com] has joined #code |
05:51 | < Takyoji> | And I tried partitioning it, but it still doesn't work |
05:51 | < Takyoji> | Is anyone actually listening?... |
05:53 | < Stephenie> | yes |
05:53 | < Stephenie> | I responded but you had left |
05:53 | < Stephenie> | .... as for the jumpers |
05:54 | < Stephenie> | you need to set HDD a to master HDD B to slave |
05:54 | < Stephenie> | or ... if you don't feel like doing htat set them both to cable select and it will do it for you automatically |
05:54 | < Takyoji> | hmm |
05:54 | < Stephenie> | Also.. referring to linux and windows being on the same partition |
05:54 | < Stephenie> | of course you can do that :/ but I wouldn't |
05:55 | < Stephenie> | also.. if you are having a hard time partitioning in windows use something like partition magic or.... a win98 disk and boot to DOS and use FDISK |
05:55 | < Takyoji> | So have the jumper pin not on at all (Slave) or the jumper pin on C & D (Setting as Slave "(CD)")? |
05:55 | < Stephenie> | you have to have the jumper pins on |
05:55 | < Stephenie> | or it won't know what to do |
05:56 | < Stephenie> | when it is in reference to that |
05:56 | < Takyoji> | I mean, is it possible to have HD B have a Linux partition? |
05:56 | < Stephenie> | Yes of course |
05:56 | < Takyoji> | oh okay |
05:56 | < Takyoji> | I'll be back in a second then |
05:56 | < Stephenie> | make sure you install linux last though so you wont fubarb the boot loader |
05:56 | < Takyoji> | Yea, I did |
05:56 | < Takyoji> | I did that before I restarted |
05:56 | < Takyoji> | brb |
05:56 | | Takyoji [~Takyoji@Nightstar-25280.dhcp.roch.mn.charter.com] has quit [Quit: Leaving] |
06:02 | < Ev3> | Most HDDs default to CS with no jumper. |
06:02 | < Stephenie> | mmmm I did not know this |
06:02 | < Stephenie> | Thank you :) |
06:02 | < Ev3> | :p |
06:02 | < Ev3> | Idiocy protection ^_^ |
06:02 | < Ev3> | For people like me. |
06:02 | | * Stephenie chuckles |
06:02 | < Ev3> | Or if you lose your jumper. |
06:02 | < Stephenie> | awwww your not an idiot |
06:02 | | * Stephenie hates losing jumpers |
06:03 | | * Stephenie has a bag of them |
06:03 | | * Ev3 prefers not to lose jumpers in the first place. |
06:04 | < Stephenie> | they are sooooo tiny.. it happens |
06:05 | | Takyoji [~Takyoji@Nightstar-25280.dhcp.roch.mn.charter.com] has joined #code |
06:05 | < Stephenie> | erm... and especially when my nails are long *dies* |
06:05 | < Takyoji> | Switching it around didn't work, I didn't change the pin of HD A |
06:05 | < Stephenie> | .... What exactly is the problem? |
06:05 | < Takyoji> | I tried Cable Select, since I got an error with GRUB |
06:05 | < Stephenie> | I feel like I'm shooting in the dark trying to help you |
06:06 | < Stephenie> | What was the error? |
06:06 | < Takyoji> | Error 15 I think |
06:06 | < Takyoji> | I didn't say anything else |
06:06 | < Takyoji> | then halted |
06:06 | < Stephenie> | tell me how you have your system set upt |
06:06 | < Stephenie> | up* |
06:06 | | BT|HalfCodingHalfListening [BlueTiger@Nightstar-567.natsoe.res.rr.com] has joined #Code |
06:06 | < Takyoji> | I'll actually Try changing HD A to Master, and HD B to Slave |
06:06 | < Stephenie> | lol |
06:07 | | BT|HalfCodingHalfListening is now known as BlueTiger |
06:07 | < Stephenie> | If you tell me the problem I can tell you the answer |
06:07 | < Takyoji> | HD A: Slave, HD B: Cable Select |
06:07 | | * Stephenie blnks |
06:07 | < Stephenie> | blinks* |
06:07 | < Takyoji> | The harddrive isn't appearing in 'My Computer' |
06:07 | < Ev3> | That won't do you much good if the OS is on HD a |
06:07 | < Ev3> | Yes, have you tried the logical disk manager? |
06:07 | < Ev3> | And what OS are we talking? |
06:08 | < Stephenie> | Win XP i'm assuming |
06:08 | < Takyoji> | And as I said, ironically, HD A, was set to Slave when we got it. HD A: Win XP Home, HD B: Ubuntu |
06:08 | < Ev3> | WinXP home is different from WinXP pro in this aspect. |
06:08 | < Stephenie> | ye sit is |
06:08 | < Stephenie> | yes* |
06:08 | < Takyoji> | ahh |
06:08 | < Stephenie> | wait.... how was it set to slave? |
06:09 | < Ev3> | And you're trying to do what, now? |
06:09 | < Takyoji> | By one jumper pin between C and D |
06:09 | < Ev3> | Your boot partition would be on HD a, that should be master, and B should be slave. |
06:09 | < Ev3> | Ignore capitalization, it's 7 AM. |
06:09 | < Takyoji> | Make damned HD B to appear in 'My Computer' |
06:09 | < Ev3> | You can boot at all with HD a set to slave? |
06:10 | < Stephenie> | Thats why i'm like huh |
06:10 | < Takyoji> | And HD A can work as a Slave yet being the boot partition or what? |
06:10 | < Ev3> | Because if you can you have some funky voodoo I don't understand. |
06:10 | < Takyoji> | Apparently yes |
06:10 | < Stephenie> | Thank you |
06:10 | < Stephenie> | .... wait |
06:10 | < Takyoji> | heheh exactly |
06:10 | < Stephenie> | lets look at the cable itself |
06:10 | < Takyoji> | oh |
06:10 | < Ev3> | Motherboard type? |
06:10 | < Takyoji> | Motherboard > HD B > HD A |
06:10 | < Takyoji> | oh umm.. |
06:10 | < Takyoji> | as far as? |
06:11 | < Takyoji> | This isn't a custom |
06:11 | | * Stephenie would personally start that all over and reconfigure |
06:11 | < Takyoji> | It's a premade |
06:11 | | * Ev3 would personally call someone else to do it for her. |
06:11 | < Stephenie> | OMG no its sooooo fun1 |
06:11 | < Stephenie> | ! |
06:12 | < Ev3> | Yes, sitting there in the dust for a couple of hours trying to figure out who made which mistake and how to circumvent that blootie so you can configure your friggin PC right. |
06:12 | < Takyoji> | soo.. |
06:12 | < Ev3> | Done that once too many. |
06:12 | < Ev3> | So: HD A: Master, HD B: Slave. |
06:12 | < Takyoji> | That's what I thought |
06:12 | < Ev3> | Also, reverse cable setup as some motherboards are anal. |
06:12 | < Stephenie> | Thats what I said |
06:12 | < Stephenie> | :P |
06:12 | < Ev3> | MB > HDa > HDb |
06:12 | < Takyoji> | ahh |
06:13 | < Stephenie> | Yes... make sure your cables are right |
06:13 | < Stephenie> | you do know which connecter is master and slave right? |
06:13 | < Takyoji> | ugh, alright, I guess I'll be back |
06:13 | < Ev3> | Make note of how it is now. |
06:13 | < Ev3> | It may not work at all reversed. |
06:13 | < Takyoji> | yes |
06:13 | < Stephenie> | Probably not because of the MBR |
06:13 | < Stephenie> | :) |
06:13 | < Stephenie> | thats why I am saying start over |
06:13 | < Takyoji> | Be back in a bit |
06:13 | | Takyoji [~Takyoji@Nightstar-25280.dhcp.roch.mn.charter.com] has quit [Connection reset by peer] |
06:13 | | * Stephenie shakes her head |
06:13 | < Ev3> | Oh, LDM >_< |
06:14 | < Stephenie> | LDM? |
06:14 | < Ev3> | It may be that the HDb is formatted in a format Win can't recognize, or something otherwise odd. |
06:14 | < Ev3> | Or that it's a logical. |
06:14 | < Stephenie> | .... |
06:14 | < Stephenie> | it would see a logical |
06:14 | < Ev3> | If it's logical it simply won't appear. |
06:14 | < BlueTiger> | d'oh |
06:14 | < Ev3> | Because it's home. |
06:14 | < Stephenie> | GRAH! |
06:14 | < Stephenie> | I hate home |
06:14 | < BlueTiger> | if he has Ubuntu on HDb then windows won't see it, because it's ext2 |
06:14 | < Ev3> | I hate home. |
06:14 | < Ev3> | Heh. |
06:14 | < BlueTiger> | I hate home too. |
06:15 | < BlueTiger> | or ext3 |
06:15 | < Ev3> | Hehe. |
06:15 | < Ev3> | The LDM will see it connected. |
06:15 | < Ev3> | The LDM will tell him "WTF? mate." |
06:15 | < Stephenie> | Logical disk manager? |
06:15 | < Ev3> | Yes. |
06:15 | | * Stephenie chuckles |
06:15 | < Ev3> | control -> administration -> LDM. |
06:15 | | * Stephenie facepalms |
06:15 | < Stephenie> | Oh i know :) |
06:16 | < Ev3> | I don't like Linux, because I have better stability and resource handling using WinXP pro. |
06:16 | < Ev3> | That, and proper win32 handling. |
06:17 | < Stephenie> | I don't like using Linux for other reasons :P |
06:17 | < Stephenie> | mainly has to do with my programs RAH! |
06:17 | | * Stephenie likes to be able to make pretty pictures |
06:18 | < Ev3> | 7wks 3days 9hrs 43mins uptime. |
06:18 | < BlueTiger> | I don't like using Linux because it won't run my video games. I'd be perfectly happy otherwise. (Since I could always use Mono for my beloved C#...) |
06:18 | < BlueTiger> | :P |
06:18 | < Ev3> | Record so far is 62 weeks on this bøx. |
06:18 | < Stephenie> | wow... i'm impressed |
06:18 | < Stephenie> | Can't tell you how long its been since I restarted though |
06:18 | | * Stephenie uses Win XP pro as well |
06:18 | < Ev3> | $uptime(system,2) and press tab while the cursor is inside the identifier. |
06:19 | < BlueTiger> | I have home because I'm poort. :( |
06:19 | < BlueTiger> | poor* |
06:19 | < Ev3> | I have home on the other bøx. |
06:19 | < Ev3> | IN DANISH! |
06:19 | < Stephenie> | GRAH no versioning me |
06:19 | < Ev3> | And the translators should be shot. |
06:19 | < Ev3> | And shot again. |
06:19 | < Ev3> | And then fed to tigers. |
06:19 | < Ev3> | And then the tigers should be shot. |
06:19 | | * Stephenie laughs |
06:19 | < Ev3> | And tossed into a volcano. |
06:20 | < Ev3> | For example! I can't label my drives as "C:" |
06:20 | < BlueTiger> | oooh, and then we can nuke the volcano |
06:20 | < BlueTiger> | :D |
06:20 | | * Stephenie blink |
06:20 | < Ev3> | They HAVE to have a name. |
06:20 | < Stephenie> | WTF why is that? |
06:20 | < Ev3> | Because the translator sucks. |
06:20 | < Ev3> | And the best translation ever is "system idle process" being translated into what directly translates back as "active system process" |
06:20 | < Ev3> | Two very very different things. |
06:21 | < BlueTiger> | xD |
06:21 | < Stephenie> | @.@ |
06:21 | < Ev3> | So I hacked taskmgr.exe and labeled it "Excess CPU output" |
06:21 | | * Stephenie smacks her lips and pokes Ben cause she wants to talk to him |
06:21 | < Ev3> | Ban? |
06:21 | < Ev3> | Which is ben? |
06:21 | < Stephenie> | Ben... |
06:21 | < Stephenie> | ToxicFrog |
06:21 | < Ev3> | Ah! |
06:21 | | * Ev3 dances with ToxicFrog. |
06:21 | < Stephenie> | NOOOO |
06:21 | < Stephenie> | my Ben |
06:21 | | * Stephenie giggles |
06:22 | < Ev3> | NOOOO |
06:22 | < Ev3> | my Ben |
06:22 | < Stephenie> | GRAH! |
06:22 | | * Ev3 giggles |
06:22 | < Ev3> | GRAH! |
06:22 | | * Stephenie feels like she just walked into a room with her 5 yr old son |
06:22 | < Ev3> | ima 5 yr ol supaadupar typpist & i pwnzorz u all!!!!!"1!!!seveneleven!!! |
06:22 | | * Stephenie laughs |
06:22 | < Stephenie> | He can type |
06:23 | < Ev3> | I can't. |
06:23 | < Stephenie> | i just have to tell him how to spell it |
06:23 | < Stephenie> | and then he takes YEARS |
06:23 | < Ev3> | Psh, english is my second language. |
06:23 | < Ev3> | And I use my specialized 7½ finger system. |
06:23 | | * Stephenie blnks |
06:23 | < Stephenie> | blinks* |
06:23 | < Stephenie> | Okay... explain that one. |
06:24 | < Ev3> | I use 7½ fingers. |
06:24 | < Ev3> | Or well, I use 7, sometimes 8, but... |
06:24 | < Ev3> | Four on the right hand, three on the left. |
06:24 | < Ev3> | Index, long jogn and pinky. And right hand thumb. |
06:24 | | * Stephenie blinks |
06:24 | < Ev3> | Left pinky is for ctrl, alt and shift + tab. |
06:24 | | Takyoji [~Takyoji@Nightstar-25280.dhcp.roch.mn.charter.com] has joined #code |
06:25 | < Ev3> | right pinky is for space. |
06:25 | < Ev3> | You checked the LDM? |
06:25 | < Takyoji> | I think I need to have GRUB reconfigured |
06:25 | < Stephenie> | erm.. |
06:25 | < Ev3> | I think you need to check the LDM. |
06:25 | < Ev3> | If the LDM can see it it's correctly configured. |
06:25 | < Ev3> | See, LDM is the way to go. |
06:25 | < Takyoji> | Because I did it EXACTLY as you said, but I get a reading error from GRUB |
06:25 | < Ev3> | run->control->administration->Logical disk manager |
06:25 | < Stephenie> | because its not pulling from the same spot on the HDD |
06:25 | < Stephenie> | I told you that |
06:26 | < Stephenie> | If it can't find the Boot record its going to give you an error |
06:26 | < Stephenie> | in the same place |
06:26 | < Stephenie> | i'll clarify that |
06:26 | < Ev3> | BlueTiger said that ubuntu's standard formatting is ext2 or ext3 and hence will not show up in your computer. |
06:26 | < Stephenie> | And this is true |
06:26 | < Takyoji> | oh.. |
06:26 | < Stephenie> | EXT 3 typically now |
06:26 | < Ev3> | So, open the LDM and if the LDM find and unpartitioned drive it's correctly wired. |
06:27 | < Ev3> | Then you get to blame ninjas. |
06:27 | < Ev3> | And my Ben. |
06:27 | | * Stephenie giggles |
06:27 | < Stephenie> | NOOOOO MY BEN! |
06:27 | < Stephenie> | DAMNIt! |
06:27 | < Ev3> | :D |
06:27 | | * Ev3 writes "Serah" all over ToxicFrog. |
06:27 | < Takyoji> | I don't see "Logical disk Manager" |
06:28 | < Takyoji> | Is it within "Computer Management"? |
06:28 | | * Stephenie erases the Serah all the while glaring at her and tats "Property of Stephenie" on Ben's forhead |
06:28 | < Ev3> | It should be accessible through com, yes that. |
06:28 | | * Ev3 writes "Property of Serah" on Stephenie's back meanwhile. |
06:28 | < Takyoji> | or.. disk management? |
06:29 | < Ev3> | Yes! |
06:29 | < Ev3> | Perhaps. |
06:29 | < Ev3> | I think. |
06:29 | < Ev3> | Maybe |
06:29 | < Stephenie> | Don't forget the color hun~ |
06:29 | < Stephenie> | collar* |
06:29 | < Ev3> | Collar? |
06:29 | < Takyoji> | The HD appears in there |
06:29 | < Stephenie> | .... well when your someones property you have give them a collar to mark them as having an owner~ |
06:30 | < Takyoji> | a part of it is properly partitioned, and 2.14 GB of it is partitioned properly but unknown |
06:30 | < Stephenie> | or brand them |
06:30 | < Ev3> | :D |
06:30 | < Takyoji> | I'll come back tomorrow |
06:30 | < Ev3> | It's a formatting problem. |
06:30 | < Ev3> | We're that far at least. |
06:30 | < Ev3> | Not wiring. |
06:31 | < Stephenie> | Wait |
06:31 | < Ev3> | There are two solutions. |
06:31 | < Stephenie> | You will never fix that probelm |
06:31 | < Takyoji> | Yea, the unknown part is possibly Ubuntu |
06:31 | < Stephenie> | no |
06:31 | < Stephenie> | i've had the same problem |
06:31 | < Stephenie> | EXACT same one :O |
06:31 | < Takyoji> | So.. |
06:31 | < Stephenie> | on my box |
06:31 | < Ev3> | Either learn win to read ext3 |
06:31 | < Ev3> | Or reformat it to something legible. |
06:31 | < Stephenie> | no no |
06:31 | < Takyoji> | Unistall GRUB? |
06:31 | < Stephenie> | really |
06:31 | < Stephenie> | no no nonono |
06:31 | < Takyoji> | then Ubuntu? |
06:31 | < Stephenie> | your not listening |
06:31 | < Stephenie> | STOP |
06:31 | < Takyoji> | stopping |
06:31 | < Stephenie> | I have the same problem on my box... there is no solution to fix it |
06:31 | < Stephenie> | Its an odd thing |
06:32 | < Stephenie> | And you are the only person that I know of that has had the same problem that I do |
06:32 | < Takyoji> | yeee! |
06:32 | < Takyoji> | I feel special |
06:32 | < Stephenie> | Linux will see it as the full drive.. hell even BIOS |
06:32 | < Stephenie> | windows will always see it as 2 |
06:32 | < Takyoji> | yea |
06:32 | < Takyoji> | But mine doesn't see it as full |
06:33 | < Stephenie> | even in Linux? |
06:33 | < Stephenie> | or only in windows |
06:33 | < Takyoji> | Oh, I haven't even checked linux yet actually |
06:33 | < Stephenie> | ... check linux |
06:33 | < Stephenie> | then tell me because it sounds like what mine has done |
06:33 | < Takyoji> | I REALLY need to leave, |
06:33 | < Stephenie> | and I've tried differernt drives same thing |
06:33 | < Stephenie> | tomorrow hun not tonight |
06:34 | < Takyoji> | yea, goodnight |

20:23 | <@jerith> | Any bash gurus here? |
20:24 | <@jerith> | I have a large stack of files I want to burn to dvd, 13 files at a time. |
20:24 | <@jerith> | So I can get the next 13 with "ls | head -n 13" |
20:24 | <@jerith> | Except there are spaces in the filenames. |
20:25 | <@jerith> | And I can't find a way to escape them appropriately. |

21:59 | <@ToxicFrog> | jerith: how are you processing the output from head? |
22:06 | <@jerith> | TF: don't worry, I found a way to do it by setting $IFS. |
22:07 | <@jerith> | I needed it in a for loop (which I can do using while and read) and also in a set of commandline arguments to growisofs. |
22:08 | <@ToxicFrog> | Aah. |
22:08 | <@ToxicFrog> | I was thinking something like: |
22:08 | <@ToxicFrog> | function burnify() { |
22:08 | <@ToxicFrog> | while read filename; do |
22:08 | <@ToxicFrog> | # stuff with "$filename" here |
22:08 | <@ToxicFrog> | done |
22:08 | <@ToxicFrog> | } |
22:08 | <@ToxicFrog> | ls | head -n 13 | burnify |
22:09 | <@jerith> | Yeah, except I can't do them one at a time. I need to give them all to growisofs at once. |
22:09 | <@ToxicFrog> | You can also abuse xargs --delimiter='\n' |
22:09 | <@jerith> | I was pondering a temp directory with hardlinks in it. |
22:09 | <@jerith> | TF: Hmm... |
22:10 | <@jerith> | I'll look into that tomorrow. Messing with $IFS makes me feel dirty. |
22:10 | <@ToxicFrog> | In fact, this lets you do away with head, too: |
22:10 | <@ToxicFrog> | ls | xargs --delimiter='\n' -n 13 burnify_command |
22:10 | <@ToxicFrog> | Will invoke burnify_command on all the files in the directory, 13 at a time. |
