| [00:02] <gypsyblood> sry went to living room to get the iso for ubunto copying onto flashdrive..gonna be 5 min...and it was a couple years ago i got this laptop | |
| [00:04] <gypsyblood> its a toshiba sattelite A665-S6094 quad core | |
| [00:05] <histo> gypsyblood: you won't ahve a problem with a two year old laptop | |
| [00:05] <histo> gypsyblood: i've run ubuntu on much older hardware | |
| [00:06] <meditatingfrog> yeah, mine is older than that | |
| [00:06] <gypsyblood> histo: yeah i got it on here now...it runs good, i like ubuntu alot so far, just cant get my burner to work, had problem in windows too | |
| [00:07] <meditatingfrog> does your dvd-rw burn cds okay? | |
| [00:08] <gypsyblood> thats what im bout to try with cdrecord with the ubuntu install softwar, making an iso image on this comp | |
| [00:08] <meditatingfrog> ah | |
| [00:09] <gypsyblood> im gonna need help with the command line tho for it...that still confuses the hell outa me | |
| [00:09] <meditatingfrog> having the hell out of you is a good thing | |
| [00:10] <gypsyblood> lol yeah i dont believe in hell...but the common belief of hell is definitely a good thing to have out of you lol, so i cant argue there | |
| [00:11] <meditatingfrog> reminds me of an alice in chains "heaven beside you, hell within" | |
| [00:11] <meditatingfrog> alice in chains song | |
| [00:11] <gypsyblood> ok should i put the .iso in my home folder? where would be the easiest place to put it to try this with cdrecord? | |
| [00:11] <meditatingfrog> peace to us all | |
| [00:11] <meditatingfrog> yeah, home folder | |
| [00:11] <gypsyblood> yeah alice in chains is awesome | |
| [00:13] <gypsyblood> ok its in my home folder now...can you give me the command line that i need to type to make it burn to the cd | |
| [00:14] <gypsyblood> the file name is ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso | |
| [00:14] <meditatingfrog> cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=2,0 /home/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso | |
| [00:14] <meditatingfrog> you may want to increase the speed | |
| [00:15] <gypsyblood> k im gonna try it on the low speed first tho for this first test run | |
| [00:15] <meditatingfrog> oh, it should be /home/username/ubuntu...iso | |
| [00:15] <meditatingfrog> assuming you put it in the root of your home folder | |
| [00:16] <gypsyblood> ok...and the username is the account that im logged into? like on the login screen? | |
| [00:16] <meditatingfrog> yeah | |
| [00:16] <gypsyblood> k just making sure | |
| [00:17] <meditatingfrog> in the terminal you can use the "cd" command to change to the directory that has the file | |
| [00:19] <gypsyblood> ok so what directory do i need to change to? i put it in home folder | |
| [00:21] <meditatingfrog> cd /home/username | |
| [00:21] <meditatingfrog> try that | |
| [00:21] <meditatingfrog> then type "ls" to see if it's there | |
| [00:22] <meditatingfrog> if it's there, then run the cdrecord command | |
| [00:23] <gypsyblood> ok...it says in properties that the location is home/gypsy ....but when i type "cd home/gypsy" in the terminal it says"bash: cd: home/gypsy: No such file or directory" | |
| [00:24] <gypsyblood> ok nvm...i was doing it wrong...got it there now | |
| [00:25] <gypsyblood> it is | |
| [00:26] <gypsyblood> there i mean | |
| [00:26] <meditatingfrog> oh, then you're already there | |
| [00:26] <meditatingfrog> what happens when you type ls? | |
| [00:26] <meditatingfrog> do you see your file? | |
| [00:27] <gypsyblood> yeah its there...i entered the command line and it gave me this | |

| [00:36] <meditatingfrog> it's quiet so it probably doesn't matter, but i don't want a bot kicking you or something | |
| [00:36] <meditatingfrog> so it's 4,1,0 | |
| [00:36] <meditatingfrog> or 4,1 | |
| [00:36] <gypsyblood> oh...i didnt know about that | |
| [00:36] <meditatingfrog> oh, no, wait, 4,0,0 | |
| [00:36] <meditatingfrog> no worries | |
| [00:36] <gypsyblood> how do i that paste.ubuntu.com thing? | |
| [00:37] <meditatingfrog> just go to the site, paste what you have, then it gives you a link after you submit it | |
| [00:37] <meditatingfrog> then paste the link | |
| [00:37] <gypsyblood> oh ok...yeah, leme write that down...i have a feeling im gonna need it lol | |
| [00:39] <gypsyblood> ok got that wrote down...now use the 4,0,0 for the dev? | |
| [00:40] <gypsyblood> ok yeah that was it | |
| [00:40] <gypsyblood> bout to find out if its gonna work | |
| [00:40] <meditatingfrog> cool | |
| [00:41] <meditatingfrog> so you're making a movie disc to watch on a dvd player? | |
| [00:42] <meditatingfrog> i had this old dvd player i cracked open, i wanted to see if there was someway i could route video from an old computer through it to a tv or something somehow | |
| [00:42] <meditatingfrog> i dunno, it was a silly idea | |
| [00:42] <meditatingfrog> ironically, the new dvd players have like usb ports on them and wifi and junk | |
| [00:43] <meditatingfrog> or, well, perhaps not ironically | |
| [00:43] <meditatingfrog> coincidentally | |
| [00:43] <gypsyblood> yeah..i use to burn alot of dvd's...now tho i primarily use a flashdrive and my ps3 instead of using so many blank disks | |
| [00:44] <gypsyblood> i had a car once that someone stole my cd player out of...i wired in a portably dvd player to the speakers lol | |
| [00:45] <gypsyblood> portable* | |
| [00:45] <gypsyblood> so far so good...its about halfway done | |
| [00:45] <gypsyblood> so i use the same command line for dvd's as well? | |
| [00:47] <meditatingfrog> i think so, there doesn't appear to be a dvd option | |
| [00:48] <meditatingfrog> at least that i saw | |
| [00:49] <gypsyblood> k...i think ill try that next, its almost done with this | |
| [00:50] <gypsyblood> could i get you to put the command line for turning something into and .iso again plz? | |
| [00:50] <gypsyblood> into *an* | |
| [00:51] <gypsyblood> and then after that im just gonna do alot of studying as far as the different commands go...i like using the terminal, just need to learn it better | |
| [00:52] <gypsyblood> i remember when i was a kid, on my dads old computer we had to use the command prompt for everything, so i wasnt half bad at it...but thats been about 15 years or so since i had to use that | |
| [00:53] <meditatingfrog> mkisofs -R -o cdimage.raw /path-to-certain-VIDEO_TS folder | |
| [00:55] <gypsyblood> and the /path-to-certain..etc is like the /home/gypsy/ubuntu......iso right? same thing just to whatever the VIDEO_TS is? | |
| [00:56] <meditatingfrog> yes | |
| [00:56] <meditatingfrog> here's a command-line i've kept up over the years: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1208021/ | |
| [00:56] <meditatingfrog> command-line file | |
| [00:56] <gypsyblood> ok cool, thnx so much for all your help | |
| [00:56] <meditatingfrog> \o | |
| [00:57] <meditatingfrog> i mean, see you | |
| [00:57] <gypsyblood> and yeah...that iso did burn onto the cd doing it that way | |
| [00:59] <gypsyblood> ok im off to experiment with trying a dvd now, take it easy, and again, thnx alot | |

| [13:05] <omfghelp> hello? | |
| [13:06] <omfghelp> anyone hee? | |
| [13:06] <omfghelp> here | |
| [13:06] <omfghelp> lol... | |
| [13:06] <__pem__> Just arriving | |
| [13:07] <omfghelp> my windows is crapped out | |
| [13:07] <omfghelp> so this ubuntu was on it | |
| [13:07] <omfghelp> now i have no idea how to use linux | |
| [13:07] <omfghelp> or install a program | |
| [13:08] <__pem__> you should be able to hop on your CD or USBstick that you used for your install | |
| [13:10] <omfghelp> no i had this cpu giving to me | |
| [13:10] <omfghelp> with this stuff already installed | |
| [13:10] <Sidewinder1> omfghelp, What version on ubuntu? | |
| [13:11] <omfghelp> i think 6.10 | |
| [13:11] <omfghelp> im not sure i dont know much how to navigate around | |
| [13:11] <bagus> exit | |
| [13:11] <omfghelp> this is my first time in linux | |
| [13:13] <Sidewinder1> omfghelp, Well, if you're correct, 6.10 went "End of Life" 7/14/2009 and is no longer supported; the current versions are 10.04 and 12.04. Here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29 | |
| [13:14] <__pem__> how did you started your installation? | |
| [13:14] <omfghelp> ok thanks i will check it out | |
| [13:14] <omfghelp> but i dont know how to install it | |
| [13:15] <gsteinert> omfghelp: you'll need to download and burn a live CD for a newer version | |
| [13:15] <Sidewinder1> omfghelp, In terms of learning about ubuntu in general, this is a great place to start: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index | |
| [13:15] <gsteinert> the boot from the cd and follow the instructions | |
| [13:16] <omfghelp> oh ok | |
| [13:17] <omfghelp> so i can update anything till then | |
| [13:17] <omfghelp> im trying to get a wireless manager | |
| [13:17] <omfghelp> so i dont have to be connected direct | |
| [13:17] <gsteinert> omfghelp: your best bet is to start with a fresh install. 6.10 is almost 6 years old. a lot has changed in that time | |
| [13:18] <omfghelp> i have no idea | |
| [13:18] <omfghelp> i never used linux | |
| [13:18] <Sidewinder1> omfghelp, Since you're coming from the windows environment, you might find Lucid Lynx - 10.04 easiest to learn; even though it will go EOL April 2013. | |
| [13:18] <omfghelp> windows took a crap so thatas why i am on this | |
| [13:18] <omfghelp> ok well thanks guys | |
| [13:19] <Sidewinder1> Good luck! | |
| [13:19] <omfghelp> take care cyaz | |
| [13:19] <gsteinert> omfghelp: or you could try Kubuntu. it's a version of ubuntu that uses the KDE desktop. the KDE desktop is the most similar to windows imho | |
| [19:25] <DiNgL3> Anyone able to offer some assistance locking down shared memory | |
| [19:27] <meditatingfrog> DiNgL3: i will if i can | |
| [19:27] <DiNgL3> Oh brilliant thanks | |
| [19:28] <DiNgL3> im trying to secure some of my websites so have been doing some reading and came across this guide http://www.thefanclub.co.za/node/50 I have created a test lamp server updated to 12.04.1 and started following the guide didn't want to do it on my live sites. I have got to securing the shared memory and im stuck. I add tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0 to the end of /etc/fstab. Once I | |
| [19:28] <DiNgL3> done that I reboot and receive errors upon reboot - mount: unknown filesystem type tmpfs mountall: mount /dev/shm [312] terminated with status 32 mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted /dev/shm fsck from until-linux 2.20.1 | |
| [19:29] <DiNgL3> I've been getting ddos lots the last few days and need to get my live servers secured ASAP | |
| [19:29] <meditatingfrog> i haven't done that before, have you tried #ubuntu-server ? | |
| [19:30] <DiNgL3> Hmmm no ill try there and serif I have any luck thank you for looking and trying ;) | |
| [19:31] <meditatingfrog> DiNgL3: well give them a shot, and if they can't come back here, someone probably has a lamp server they are setting up. oh, and try #ubuntu-security | |
| [19:32] <DiNgL3> Ah nice one thank you so much | |
| [19:33] <DiNgL3> It won't let me in the security one for some reason | |
| [19:34] <meditatingfrog> DiNgL3: yeah, it redirects to #ubuntu-hardened, same thing | |
| [19:36] <DiNgL3> Cheers | |
| [19:36] <meditatingfrog> :) \o | |
| [19:36] <meditatingfrog> Cheers | |
| [19:38] <DiNgL3> No one seems to want to help me with this and I can find very much nine about it either. I really struggle with Linux it's my least confident operating system by a long way I really wish I had become more familiar with it 5 or so years back | |
| [19:54] <DiNgL3> meditatingfrog: I'm not getting any luck in the other channels ;( | |
| [19:56] <meditatingfrog> DiNgL3: you may have to be patient, it's a weekend :| | |
| [19:56] <DiNgL3> meditatingfrog: Yeah that's true I suppose | |
| [19:58] <meditatingfrog> DiNgL3: just looked at the error, can you run the mount command that fails in a terminal to see if it works? maybe it's a "rights" issue | |
| [20:06] <DiNgL3> What is the mount command if you look at the guide I was following all I did was add a line of code to /etc/fstab | |
| [20:07] <DiNgL3> Sorry if that sounds really noobish but to be honest I am a Linux noob really | |
| [20:09] <meditatingfrog> who isn't? | |
| [20:09] <meditatingfrog> no, i'm saying to try the mount command outside of /etc/fstab just to troubleshoot | |
| [20:15] <DiNgL3> Ah right what would I type for the command then if I'm putting this at the end of /etc/fstab tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0 | |
| [20:18] <meditatingfrog> sudo mount -t tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs | |
| [20:19] <meditatingfrog> make sure there's a "tmpfs" folder | |
| [20:19] <meditatingfrog> in fact, i don't think that will work, the 2nd tmpfs *i think* should be a path | |
| [20:19] <meditatingfrog> assuming a mount command is the same @ a terminal as in /etc/fstab | |
| [20:27] <DiNgL3> One sec I'll try that now and let you know | |
| [20:29] <DiNgL3> mount: mount point tmpfs does not exist | |
| [20:30] <meditatingfrog> yeah, the 2nd tmpfs needs to be the path to a directory | |
| [20:30] <meditatingfrog> like ~/tmpfs or something | |
| [20:30] <meditatingfrog> or /home/username/tmpfs | |
| [20:57] <DiNgL3> Ok so I need to create a directory? | |
| [20:57] <meditatingfrog> any ideas on how to prevent my fluxbox menu from disappearing? it's fine on a boot, but after i've been working for awhile, suspending and stuff it appears to revert back to the gnome desktop | |
| [20:57] <meditatingfrog> DiNgL3: yeah | |
| [21:09] <DiNgL3> meditatingfrog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1209763/ | |
| [21:13] <meditatingfrog> DiNgL3: why did you paste that? | |
| [21:14] <DiNgL3> So it looks like tmpfs is at /run so I presume I change the line in /etc/fstab | |
| [21:20] <meditatingfrog> tmpfs is a type of file system | |
| [21:21] <meditatingfrog> i *think*, i mean, that's what the mount -t is doing, -t is type | |
| [21:22] <meditatingfrog> DiNgL3: i think what should be the path at the end of the mount command is /run | |
| [21:23] <meditatingfrog> so sudo mount -t tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs | |
| [21:23] <meditatingfrog> should be sudo mount -t tmpfs /dev/shm /run | |
| [21:28] <meditatingfrog> bbl | |
| [21:54] <yeehi> Hello! I need help - I am trying to get an ubuntu server to automatically power up and reboot after a power out | |
| [21:54] <yeehi> The bios settings are ok | |
| [21:54] <yeehi> but the system doesn't boot - it just gets to the select a boot option screen | |
| [21:54] <yeehi> then it waits | |
| [21:55] <yeehi> I thought I would just have to go into Grub and change the timeout settings | |
| [21:55] <yeehi> but grub is not installed! | |
| [21:55] <yeehi> How does it ever launch itself? | |
| [21:56] <yeehi> anyway, should I install grub? or will that interfere with whatever is in there already for starting the system... | |
| [22:33] <meditatingfrog> yeehi: it boots under normal conditions though? | |
| [23:06] <yeehi> Hi meditatingfrog | |
| [23:06] <yeehi> I have solved the problem | |
| [23:06] <meditatingfrog> hi yeehi | |
| [23:06] <yeehi> I installed grub! | |
| [23:06] <meditatingfrog> cool | |
| [23:07] <yeehi> I don't know how I got it to go into the the desktop before... | |
| [23:07] <meditatingfrog> never installed grub (i mean, aside from a new install) | |
| [23:08] <yeehi> what version of ubuntu are you running, meditatingfrog? | |
| [23:10] <meditatingfrog> 12.04 | |
| [23:10] <meditatingfrog> why? | |
