jrib | ok were you able to download the tar.gz to your desktop? | 02:20 |
ckarini | yes | 02:20 |
jrib | ok, open up a terminal | 02:21 |
ckarini | k | 02:21 |
ckarini | i did | 02:21 |
jrib | cd ~/Desktop | 02:21 |
jrib | you downloaded the binary right? | 02:21 |
ckarini | wait, should i change the directiory to the desktyop or the file? | 02:22 |
jrib | I am assuming the tar.gz is on your desktop, so 'cd ~/Desktop' is to get you to the Desktop in the terminal | 02:22 |
ckarini | im there | 02:22 |
jrib | tar xvzf Step<TAB> where <TAB> is you pressing the tab button to complete the full name of the tar.gz | 02:23 |
ckarini | waitwaitwait, you lost me on that one | 02:23 |
nalioth | ckarini: tab completion is a wonderful thing | 02:24 |
ckarini | i dont get what i do though | 02:24 |
jrib | enter that in your terminal: | 02:24 |
jrib | tar xvzf Step<TAB> | 02:24 |
nalioth | ckarini: instead of <tab> hit the tab key | 02:25 |
ckarini | i hit the tab key, but nothing happened | 02:25 |
jrib | ok, what does this say: ls *ania* | 02:25 |
ckarini | ls *ania* | 02:26 |
ckarini | why? | 02:26 |
nalioth | ckarini: in yoru terminal | 02:26 |
jrib | I'll try to put commands in '' from now on | 02:26 |
ckarini | okay | 02:27 |
ckarini | i did that | 02:27 |
jrib | ckarini: copy and paste the output here | 02:27 |
nalioth | did anything return, ckarini ? | 02:27 |
ckarini | aclocal.m4 configure Docs NEWS Utils | 02:27 |
ckarini | autoconf configure.ac Makefile.am README-FIRST.html | 02:27 |
ckarini | config.log Copying.txt Makefile.in src | 02:27 |
jrib | ckarini: ok what does this command say: 'pwd' enter it without the quotes | 02:27 |
ckarini | k | 02:28 |
ckarini | /home/dom | 02:28 |
ckarini | thats what it did | 02:28 |
jrib | ok, now do 'cd ~/Desktop' the capitalization of the D is important | 02:28 |
ckarini | okay, there | 02:29 |
jrib | ok, what does 'pwd' say now? | 02:30 |
ckarini | /home/dom/desktop | 02:30 |
nalioth | ckarini: are you typing that or copying it? | 02:30 |
ckarini | typing | 02:31 |
ckarini | /home/dom/Desktop | 02:31 |
ckarini | thats copied | 02:31 |
jrib | great | 02:31 |
nalioth | ckarini: in linux, letter case means different things | 02:31 |
ckarini | oh | 02:31 |
nalioth | /home/dom/desktop is NOT /home/dom/Desktop | 02:31 |
ckarini | okay | 02:31 |
jrib | now try: 'tar xvzf Step<TAB>' remember I just mean that you should press your TAB button instead of typing <TAB> | 02:32 |
ckarini | k | 02:32 |
ckarini | okay | 02:32 |
jrib | the name should magically complete | 02:32 |
ckarini | yeah | 02:32 |
ckarini | it did | 02:32 |
ckarini | then enter? | 02:32 |

nalioth | it automagically untarred, it seems | 02:33 |
jrib | that's ok, that is the wrong file. We need the binary | 02:33 |
ckarini | uh, i dont understand the moonspeak | 02:34 |
jrib | this command will download it from the internet: 'wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/stepmania/StepMania-3.9a-linux.tar.gz' | 02:34 |
jrib | the step mania site offers binary and source. Source is the source code, which gets compiled into a binary that your computer can actually run | 02:35 |
ckarini | it 404'd me. | 02:35 |
jrib | ok, visit http://www.stepmania.com/wiki/Downloads and download the linux binary to your desktop | 02:36 |
nalioth | jrib: that is a dynamic link you gave (mean ol' sourceforge) | 02:36 |
ckarini | okay it downloaded | 02:37 |
jrib | ok is it called StepMania-3.9a-linux.tar.gz? | 02:37 |
ckarini | yep | 02:38 |
jrib | tar xvzf StepMania-3.9a-linux.tar.gz feel free to use the TAB button to complete most of it like before | 02:38 |

nalioth | ckarini: just type one letter more in the name and then hit <tab> | 02:40 |
ckarini | okay, it did all this stuff like | 02:41 |

ckarini | so what can i do to get step mania working | 03:03 |
jrib | well what we need to do is get direct rendering on your intel 82810 | 03:04 |
ckarini | how? | 03:04 |
jrib | once you do that, step mania should be working | 03:04 |
jrib | I don't know, like I said, i am searching | 03:04 |
ckarini | okay | 03:04 |
jrib | 'glxinfo | grep rendering' | 03:06 |
ckarini | do i put the grep rendering part in? | 03:07 |
jrib | yes, everything between the '' | 03:08 |
ckarini | okay | 03:08 |
ckarini | it was pretty straight forward with that one. | 03:08 |
ckarini | direct rendering: No | 03:08 |

jrib | ckarini: try asking in #ubuntu how to enable direct rendering on your intel 82810 . If I come across it before you find out, I'll let you know. But stepmania should work after you get direict rendering enabled | 03:09 |

ckarini | okay | 03:31 |
jrib | ckarini: be sure to include your xorg.conf and the result of the 'glxinfo | grep direct' command. As well as your video card | 03:31 |
ckarini | okay | 03:32 |
ckarini | well, in short, whats the main problem | 03:32 |
=== Cas_ [n=cas@58.251.122.111] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
jrib | the lack of direct rendering | 03:32 |
ckarini | and when direct rendering is enabled, i can install it? | 03:33 |
jrib | stepmania is "installed" I guess. Running that "stepmania" file is trying to run stepmania | 03:34 |
ckarini | oh, | 03:34 |
jrib | you should see a "stepmania" file inside the folder on your desktop. Once you get it working, you can just double click that. For now though, I recommend you try './stepmania' after 'cd ~/Desktop/StepMania-3.9'. That way you get useful error output | 03:35 |
ckarini | so, if direct rendering is on, the program will run? | 03:35 |
jrib | well yes, I assume so | 03:35 |
ckarini | because i have the program icon and everything, but when i click on it, it loads, then just goes right back to the desktop | 03:36 |
jrib | yeah, it's the lack of direct rendering that causes that | 03:36 |
ckarini | oh, so i have to try to find out how to enable direct rendering? | 03:36 |
jrib | exactly | 03:36 |
ckarini | okay. | 03:37 |
ckarini | look at this http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=277065 | 03:38 |
jrib | ckarini: ubuntuforums.org and https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users are two possibilities for reaching more people than on irc | 03:38 |
ckarini | does that help? | 03:38 |
jrib | ckarini: no, that is for nvidia | 03:38 |
ckarini | oh. | 03:39 |
jrib | nvidia is a different kind of video card | 03:39 |
ckarini | what about | 03:40 |
ckarini | http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Direct_rendering_on_Intel_Extreme_Graphics_(855GM)_chipsets | 03:40 |
ckarini | does that one help at all? | 03:42 |
jrib | it mentions something but I would not rely on it without corroboration from a different source | 03:42 |
jrib | "The VideoRam option is very critical. The chip..." but the person on ubuntuforums did not have that line | 03:43 |
ckarini | oh, well, should we try it yet, or not, | 03:43 |
jrib | I think it would be better if you found someone that could tell you something that would work for sure | 03:43 |
jrib | If we mess up, you will be without a gui | 03:43 |
ckarini | and thats not good. | 03:44 |
jrib | hmmm | 03:45 |
ckarini | now wait, | 03:45 |
ckarini | look at this http://www.stepmania.com/wiki/Video_Card_Compatibility | 03:45 |
jrib | I just checked the ubuntu person's xorg.conf and he has the videoram line as well | 03:45 |
jrib | yes, I saw that | 03:45 |
jrib | (you don't have the videoram line) | 03:45 |
ckarini | oh. | 03:46 |
ckarini | so whats the videoram line | 03:46 |
jrib | so that's looking more and more like it be the problem | 03:46 |
jrib | ckarini: type ctrl-f in your browser and enter "videoram" | 03:47 |
jrib | ignore my message in #ubuntu, wrong window | 03:47 |
jrib | do you know how much ram you have? | 03:48 |
ckarini | nope | 03:49 |
jrib | 'free -m' | 03:49 |
ckarini | wait, what browser? | 03:49 |
jrib | firefox for example | 03:49 |
ckarini | oh | 03:49 |
jrib | on the gentoo wiki page or the forum post I linked to earlier | 03:49 |
ckarini | wait, doesnt ctrl-f find stuff? | 03:50 |
jrib | yes | 03:50 |
jrib | you asked what the videoram line was | 03:50 |
ckarini | then i just open firefox and type videoram? | 03:51 |
ckarini | in a search thing | 03:51 |
jrib | do you have the gentoo wiki page opened that you linked me to? | 03:51 |
ckarini | no | 03:51 |
jrib | ok, nevermind, it isn't important | 03:52 |
ckarini | okay. | 03:52 |
jrib | ckarini: what does 'free -m' say? | 03:52 |
ckarini | total used free shared buffers cached | 03:53 |
ckarini | Mem: 312 308 3 0 4 80 | 03:53 |
ckarini | -/+ buffers/cache: 223 89 | 03:53 |
ckarini | Swap: 619 64 554 | 03:53 |
ckarini | dom@dom-desktop:~$ | 03:53 |
jrib | ok you have 312mb ram | 03:53 |
jrib | we should allocate some of that to the video card | 03:54 |
jrib | ckarini: would you like to try? | 03:55 |

ckarini | yeah | 04:27 |
ckarini | sorry it took so long | 04:27 |
ckarini | wait, is it safe enough? | 04:27 |
ckarini | hey jrib, what do i do | 04:31 |
jrib | well | 04:32 |
=== JVH [n=jvh@CPE-69-76-213-211.kc.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
jrib | I can explain what to do in case it doesn't work | 04:32 |
ckarini | okay | 04:32 |
jrib | ok here is what we are basically going to do: | 04:32 |
jrib | 1. backup xorg.conf | 04:32 |
jrib | 2. edit xorg.conf and save changes | 04:32 |
jrib | 3. restart X | 04:33 |
jrib | X is the gui stuff | 04:33 |
ckarini | okay | 04:33 |
jrib | now when you restart X, if we mess up, it may fail to start | 04:33 |
ckarini | so i put all that in the terminal? | 04:33 |
jrib | no that's just my explanation, I will give you the commands after I explain what to do in case it doens't work | 04:33 |
ckarini | okay, so if it doesnt work, i can fix it, right? | 04:34 |
=== Flik [n=Matt@d207-81-186-112.bchsia.telus.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
jrib | ok, ctrl-alt-f1 brings you to a tty (a terminal) and ctrl-alt-f7 brings you back to the current "gui" display you have. Try pressing ctrl-alt-f1 now to and then press ctrl-alt-f7 to get back | 04:34 |
jrib | ckarini: yes | 04:34 |
ckarini | uh...... | 04:35 |
ckarini | yeah | 04:35 |
jrib | ckarini: ok, you saw some login window, once you login there you would get to a terminal. Just like where you were entering commands before | 04:35 |
ckarini | okay | 04:35 |
jrib | ok write this down on a piece of papaer, remember capitalization is important: | 04:36 |
ckarini | yeah | 04:36 |
ckarini | alright | 04:36 |
ckarini | ready | 04:36 |
jrib | 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf' do not execute this now. This is for restoring the backup in case something goes wrong later | 04:36 |
ckarini | oaky | 04:38 |
jrib | so if something went wrong, you would hit ctrl-alt-f1, login, and enter that command. Then you would restart X, with: 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart' | 04:38 |
ckarini | okay | 04:39 |
jrib | ok, that should get you back to your current configuration. Now lets edit your current one | 04:39 |
ckarini | hold on a minute | 04:39 |
JVH | I don't want to interupt, but when time permits, I could use a little help. | 04:42 |
jrib | JVH: what's the question? | 04:42 |
JVH | I have installed Ubuntu server. I need to access routers and access point that use a web based config screens. | 04:43 |
JVH | I can't find a browser anywhere in the system. | 04:43 |
ckarini | okay | 04:44 |
ckarini | so what am i doing | 04:44 |
jrib | JVH: maybe http://shon.org/blog/?p=22 ? If you want, you can install X and have a gui with more choices. Also, links2 is a good command line web browser, better than lynx that you could try | 04:44 |
jrib | ckarini: create the backup: 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup' | 04:45 |
ckarini | in the terminal? | 04:45 |
jrib | ckarini: right | 04:45 |
ckarini | okay | 04:45 |
ckarini | okay, i did that | 04:46 |
jrib | ckarini: 'gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf' | 04:46 |
JVH | I am brand new to Linux, I thought lynx was a test only browser? | 04:46 |
jrib | JVH: you can browse the web with it if you want | 04:47 |
ckarini | okay, i did that | 04:47 |
JVH | ok I will give it a try, thought maybe mozilla, netscape, firefox was hidden somewhere in there. | 04:48 |
jrib | JVH: you can isntall them if you want. But you will need X to run them in | 04:48 |
jrib | JVH: do you want a gui environment on the server? | 04:49 |
ckarini | okay, it gave me some text file | 04:49 |
jrib | ckarini: ok please go to line 92, it should say: Identifier"Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] " | 04:49 |
JVH | Only if I need one. I am attempting to build an Asterisk PBX server. | 04:49 |
jrib | JVH: k, my suggestion would be to try that suggestion about lynx on that blog. If that doesn't work, try installing links2 (sudo apt-get install links2) and using that | 04:50 |
ckarini | wait, i dont get it. | 04:51 |
jrib | ckarini: right now you have http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35508/ in your editor correct? | 04:51 |
ckarini | yeah | 04:52 |
jrib | ok, scroll down to the part that looks like (it starts on line 91): | 04:52 |
JVH | What would be the command to install a gui? Like the desktop ubuntu has. Is that gnome? | 04:52 |
jrib | 091. Section "Device" | 04:52 |
jrib | 092. Identifier"Intel Corporation 82810E DC-133 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] " | 04:52 |
jrib | 093. Driver"i810" | 04:52 |
jrib | 094. BusID"PCI:0:1:0" | 04:52 |
ckarini | okay | 04:52 |
ckarini | wait, i dont think it looks like that | 04:53 |
jrib | JVH: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop will give you it all. xubuntu-desktop and kubutnu-desktop are other options using xfce and kde, respectively. You can also have lighter environments like fluxbox, openbox, etc | 04:53 |
jrib | ckarini: that is what you pasted before | 04:53 |
jrib | except where you see inverted I's, you should see tabs in your editor | 04:54 |
jrib | and no line numbers | 04:54 |
JVH | ok I will give it a try thanks jrib. | 04:54 |
jrib | JVH: np | 04:54 |
ckarini | yeah | 04:54 |
=== JVH [n=jvh@CPE-69-76-213-211.kc.res.rr.com] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
jrib | ckarini: ok, you found it? | 04:54 |
ckarini | but i cant find that one part | 04:54 |
jrib | be more specific | 04:55 |
jrib | press ctrl-f and enter i810, you should be there after a few hits | 04:55 |
ckarini | oh wait, i round it | 04:55 |
jrib | ok | 04:55 |
ckarini | found it | 04:55 |
ckarini | now what | 04:55 |
jrib | now put a new line after 094. BusID"PCI:0:1:0" that says: | 04:56 |
jrib | VideoRam 16384 | 04:56 |
ckarini | okay did it | 04:56 |
jrib | that will give you 16 mb of video ram, I don't know if that is optimal for you or not, but you can explore later | 04:56 |
jrib | 1024*16=16384 by the way | 04:57 |
ckarini | okay, so what do i do with that | 04:57 |
jrib | ok save it and then please pastebin what it looks like now | 04:57 |
ckarini | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35516/ | 04:58 |
jrib | ckarini: ok, indent the line that you added so it matches with the others, just press TAB at the beginning of the line | 04:59 |
jrib | I don't think it matters but just in case | 04:59 |
ckarini | okay | 04:59 |
ckarini | save it again? | 05:00 |
jrib | yes | 05:00 |
ckarini | k, now what | 05:00 |
jrib | now we part and hopefully you will be back soon | 05:00 |
jrib | save anything you are working on | 05:00 |
ckarini | wait, what? | 05:00 |
ckarini | so, your going, or, what | 05:01 |
jrib | I am about to give you the command to restart X | 05:01 |
ckarini | oh | 05:01 |
jrib | that will close all your programs | 05:01 |
ckarini | oh | 05:01 |
jrib | ok, you know what to do in case it fails? Worst case scenario, put in a live cd and visit #ubuntu again | 05:02 |
=== jrib thinks | ||
ckarini | yeah | 05:02 |
jrib | ctrl-alt-backspace will restart X | 05:02 |
ckarini | okay | 05:02 |
ckarini | so when do i do that | 05:02 |
jrib | now | 05:02 |
ckarini | then what do i do after that | 05:03 |
jrib | join me here again, or just try stepmania and see if it works | 05:03 |
ckarini | okay, | 05:03 |
=== ckarini [n=dom@CPE-65-30-160-33.wi.res.rr.com] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
jrib | 'glxinfo | grep direct' | 05:07 |
ckarini | okay so it didnt work | 05:07 |
ckarini | still no direct rendering | 05:07 |
jrib | check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make sure the changes are there | 05:08 |
ckarini | permission denied | 05:09 |
jrib | 'gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf' is the command. gedit is a text editor and /etc/X11/xorg.conf is a text file | 05:09 |
ckarini | yeah, it had the video thing on it | 05:10 |
jrib | idk then | 05:10 |
ckarini | oh | 05:10 |
jrib | try the forums and mailing list | 05:10 |
ckarini | okay | 05:11 |
jrib | or #ubuntu again | 05:11 |
ckarini | thanks for all your help | 05:11 |
jrib | maybe someone new knows | 05:11 |
jrib | ckarini: n, hope you get it | 05:11 |
jrib | n = no problem | 05:11 |
ckarini | thanks | 05:11 |
ckarini | alright | 05:11 |

unix_infidel | hey guys, wondering if the systems administration class went down on the 2nd or 3rd. | 05:43 |
unix_infidel | I didnt see a lectururer posted at that time on the website, nor has a transcript been posted, so i was just curious. | 05:43 |
tonyyarusso | unix_infidel: I'm not aware of one, but I'm not sure | 05:44 |
unix_infidel | tonyyarusso: i was referring to the post on the wiki. | 05:45 |
unix_infidel | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Classroom | 05:45 |
tonyyarusso | unix_infidel: I know what you meant - I didn't hear one happen. | 05:45 |
unix_infidel | Personally, I think skipping 101 and going straight to Advanced Administration would be more beneficial :) | 05:45 |
unix_infidel | tonyyarusso: thanks, I'll be looking for updates. | 05:45 |
unix_infidel | Btw, nice lecture on gpg 101 a while back. | 05:46 |
tonyyarusso | unix_infidel: Thanks. (I finally _did_ get those transcripts up...) | 05:46 |
