<selinuxium> hi all! :)

<selinuxium> i have just attached another hd to my system to check the files, how do I determine what the hd is know to the system?

<dsas> selinuxium: if it is the second hard drive it'll be /dev/hdbX

<selinuxium> dsas: it is the third, I have tried hdc1 but it does not see it

<dsas> selinuxium: /etc/fstab gives you no clues?

<dsas> it is probably listed right at the bottom somewhere....

<selinuxium> dsas: it is not mounted yet, if it was in fsatb I wouldn't need to know the /dev/ name! :)

<dsas> selinuxium: try ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid

<dsas> it should show all partitions/disks recognised.

<selinuxium> dsas: Woo Hoo! \o/ Yeah! that did the trick!

<dsas> cool :)

<selinuxium> cheers dsas

<selinuxium> dsas: one of these days I will be able to remember all this stuff.

<dsas> :)

* X3N just got out of bed :|

<dsas> I hate it when that happens to me.

<dsas> by the time I've got up properly, showered and had a cup of tea, it's dinner time, then I can't be bothered to do anything after.

<X3N> indeed, i've got a shed load of uni work to do too

<X3N> then something like this happens :

<X3N> [69082.694966] EXT3-fs error (device hda1): ext3_find_entry: reading directory #2 offset 0

<X3N> [69082.698960] end_request: I/O error, dev hda, sector 4223

<dsas> heh, that sounds fun.

<X3N> rebooted, this drive is getting backed up..now

<X3N> i'm not supprised it being arse.. it's a maxtor drive

<X3N> i'd be more supprised if it wasn't breaking down

<RagonichaFulva> Greetings to everyone

*** X3N_ is now known as X3N

<X3N> how do you do a line break in an echo

<X3N> tried something like echo "this blabla \n this other line blabla"

<astopy> echo "this blabla"; echo "this other line blabla"

<astopy> not sure if there's a better way

<X3N> i want to be able to do echo "blabla \n bla" >> ./thisfile

<astopy> echo -e "moo \n cow"

<X3N> thanks :)

<selinuxium> Hi all, i was wondering due to the amount of traffic in the mailing lists about petitions and stuff whether we should have an Ubuntu Activism page on the wiki?

<selinuxium> it could have links and responses possibly... :)

<Seeker`> evenin

<Owdgit> selinuxium wtf is Ubuntu Activism page? Please be more explicit

<selinuxium> Owdgit: I was saying as there seems to be so many petitions and write to your MP things being banded around the mailing list, maybe it would be a good idea to put the links on the wiki.

<Owdgit> selinuxium Bad idea! We want to discourage these time wasting postings

<Owdgit> selinuxium Not encourage them!

<ormiret> Owdgit: why?

<Owdgit> ormiiret: Because most of these are outside the scope of #ubuntu-uk

<ormiret> isn't the scope of ubuntu-uk is what the people involved want to do?

<Owdgit> No, these mostly originate from people who are not involved in #ubuntu-uk

<dsas> that doesn't make them irrelevant

<astopy> given that there's pretty much no other discussion going on at the moment, I don't see any harm in those messages

<Owdgit> It doesn't make them relevant either.

<Owdgit> I can live with them but doen't support <selenium> in encouraging them!
