<Armageddon> anyone around ?
#ubuntu-lb 2011-03-12
<lordjj> Hey, can someone tell me how to disable Write Caching on my External USB Hard Drive in Ubuntu? Also will this disable it locally on my machine, or will it affect the external HDD such that wherever I connect it write caching will be disabled?
<Armageddon> lordjj
<lordjj> Hey whatsup
<Armageddon> what do you need again ?
<lordjj> I just bought an external Seagate 1TB usb hard drive
<Armageddon> ok
<lordjj> I read that disabling write caching would be safer, to avoid corrupted files in case of power out or sudden removal
<lordjj> But its file system is NTFS, and I read NTFS doean't have that problem; that connecting it to a windows system and running diskcheck would fix any problems
<lordjj> But I don't know, so far I've been told by some that you can disable write caching on it, and by others that I can not
<Armageddon> not always
<Armageddon> I was talking about the checkdisk
<lordjj> Well is it possible to disable write cache on an NTFS drive?
<Armageddon> from windows yes
<lordjj> By changing the drives policies right?
<lordjj> Does that apply to the drive? Or just in the Windows system?
<lordjj> I mean when I connect the drive to another system will write cache be disabled?
<Armageddon> in windows ?
<Armageddon> you just to go to the hmm what's it called where you see your installed drivers
<lordjj> Yeah driver manager
<Armageddon> yea, and right click on your hard drive
<lordjj> Bas my question is will it change settings in the actual drive?
<Armageddon> should be there somewhere
<lordjj> I mean when I connect the drive to another PC with Ubuntu, will write cache be disabled?
<Armageddon> I'm not sure what write cache is, cause GNU/Linux works differently
<lordjj> hm, well ok, in LInux, how is data copied onto a drive? Directly? Or is it stored first in cache then written to the drive?
<lordjj> (as in windows)
<Armageddon> actually
<Armageddon> you need to read this
<Armageddon> lordjj, you have to differentiate between software based cache and hardware one
<compengi> hi Armageddon
<Armageddon> all hardware have cache, you can't disable that
<Armageddon> compengi, sup
<compengi> sick like shit
<Armageddon> lordjj, you need to read this http://www.jasonbrome.com/blog/archives/2004/04/03/writecache_enabled.html
<Armageddon> compengi, sorry to hear
<compengi> don't worry
<Armageddon> I'm not
<compengi> i'm cooking chicken soup
<Armageddon> you can rot in hell
<Armageddon> :p
<compengi> lol
<Armageddon> lemme make cooffee
<compengi> ok
<compengi> do you have everything installed on gentoo?
<Armageddon> compengi, I had to reinstall gentoo
<compengi> you mean to recompile world?
<Armageddon> no I mean reinstall gentoo
<compengi> oh
<compengi> what was wrong?
<Armageddon> nothing from my part
<Armageddon> bad package that went wrong
<Armageddon> and the most important package EVER
<Armageddon> glibc :p
<compengi> lol

<lordjj> lol, anyone knows if Deek Duke has WiFi? :P
<youssefchaker> i dont know, last time i was there i didn't look for that :P
<youssefchaker> but who knows, you might be lucky
<lordjj> hehe
<youssefchaker> i think i as busy licking my fingers
<youssefchaker> :P
<lordjj> Heh, never been there, I'm gna try it
<youssefchaker> btw, im in the US, so i don't really pay attention to what has wifi and what doesn't when im in lebanon
<youssefchaker> :P
<youssefchaker> bass i did ask a friend who's there and he said that they probably do
<youssefchaker> can't confirm that though
<lordjj> Heh, ok.
<lordjj> How's the wifi bil US?
<youssefchaker> around here you're pretty much guaranteed to have a starbucks somewhere around the corner :P
<youssefchaker> and thus free wifi
<youssefchaker> but all hotels have them
<youssefchaker> some free, some not
<youssefchaker> there are plenty of chains that are known to have them too
<youssefchaker> like panera bread (a sandwich place that is available everwhere)
<youssefchaker> bass honestly, i don't go out for wifi
<youssefchaker> if im at a food place, i concentrate on the food :P
<lordjj> heh, connection b7ad zeta :P
<straitjacket> Lemon chicken > all
<straitjacket> No love for Deek dyuk's lemon chicken ? o.o
<straitjacket> I guess not...

<youssefchaker> why not
<youssefchaker> :P
<youssefchaker> just to make you happy

<Armageddon> MohammadAleppo, if that so, don't ask for help :)
<MohammadAleppo> You need food and clothes you need and you need money and need the house and everything you need
<MohammadAleppo> But you have mastered the work of only one
<MohammadAleppo> All human beings need to Msaah from each
<Armageddon> shut up

<rapacity> he's right Armageddon, why are you so angry? you should calm down man, let's all be friends :)
<MohammadAleppo> The humans are all one family. But the anger and their teams
<Armageddon> rapacity, he wants help and he doesn't like it when we speak english, we are supposed to work his way cause we are the ones requiring help ?
<Armageddon> I'm not angry, he's just too much of an idiot for my taste

<Armageddon> hello
<terraltech_> How are you?
<Armageddon> depends
<terraltech_> how long have you been in the ubuntu-lb? is this local community active?
<Armageddon> does it look like it ?
<Armageddon> I've been here for years
<Armageddon> and I have no idea why
<Armageddon> but it's a channel I frequent
<terraltech_> are you an ubuntu user?
<Armageddon> nope
<terraltech_> so  you're just a tourist here :p
<Armageddon> not really, I can help
<Armageddon> somehow
<Armageddon> as much as I remember
<terraltech_> In what country your are?
<Armageddon> are you
<Armageddon> and it doesn't matter
<Armageddon> do you need help ?
<terraltech_> Yes I do
<terraltech_> and no I don't need help, just looking for a local community to share and help ;)
<Armageddon> local that would be hard
<Armageddon> I tried to make one but nobody is interested it seems
<terraltech_> well I know 3 or 4 guys that would love to join me for a start
<Armageddon> this is a dead community
<Armageddon> in charge of it someone who just wants the name but no work at all
<Armageddon> he's been missing for over 7 years and nothing done
<Armageddon> and he doesn't want to give leadership to anyone else
<terraltech_> that's what it looks like
<Armageddon> Welcome to Lebanon
<terraltech_> :D:D
<Armageddon> but if you're interested
<terraltech_> this is not lebanon but WWW
<Armageddon> not a fan
<Armageddon> I have principle

<klod> hey people .. anyone knows how can i install autocad 2012 on ubuntu ?
<jadjoubran> klod: yeah sure!
<jadjoubran> compengi: can you help?
<jadjoubran> ghantoos: or you!
<jadjoubran> rapacity: long time!
<jadjoubran> Armageddon: can you help?
<Armageddon> jadjoubran,
<Armageddon> what do you need ?
<jadjoubran> Armageddon: my friend needs help
<jadjoubran> sec
<Armageddon> they actually have autocad for linux ?
<jadjoubran> he wants to setup autocad on linux
<Armageddon> is there a linux version ?
<Armageddon> There is QCad and PythonCAD
<Armageddon> there are a lot of CAD programs on linux
<Armageddon> but for autocad itself he has to use wine
<Armageddon> what I would personally suggest if he wants to pursue that road to install playonlinux
<Armageddon> which is a front-end for wine
<Armageddon> and he can have better luck installing autocad
<Armageddon> jadjoubran, there is no version of autocad for linux, the company never made one it's not our fault or linux's fault, blame autocad
<Armageddon> BEC, is here !
