| Generation | ok here | 12:25 |
|---|---|---|
| jrib | Generation: hello | 12:26 |
| Generation | jrib, hey | 12:26 |
| Generation | Im such a noob | 12:26 |
| Generation | in all things | 12:26 |
| jrib | Generation: ok, what are you trying to do exactly? Are you just curious about what is in there? | 12:26 |
| Generation | I want to really learn the command line | 12:26 |
| jrib | it's ok, it's just new to you. Everyone started that way | 12:26 |
| Generation | So I am trying to get into files to explore | 12:26 |
| jrib | !cli | Generation | 12:26 |
| ubotu | Generation: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands | 12:26 |
| jrib | Generation: the link at the bottom of that page, to linuxcommand.org is excellent | 12:27 |
| jrib | Generation: but lets figure out what's going wrong with what you are doing now | 12:27 |
| Generation | ok | 12:27 |
| jrib | Generation: ok, so I can know where you are at, what does this command return: pwd | 12:28 |
| Generation | its says home and professor | 12:28 |
| bodhi_zazen | LOL | 12:28 |
| jrib | Generation: it's best if you just copy and paste exactly what it says | 12:28 |
| kbrooks | Generation, He wants you to copy and paste what it says. | 12:28 |
| bodhi_zazen | do you mind if I insert a link ? | 12:28 |
| kbrooks | bodhi_zazen, go on... but it better be good. | 12:29 |
| Generation | man I am so lost lol | 12:29 |
| bodhi_zazen | http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/CommandLineBeginners | 12:29 |
| Generation | it wont let me copy it | 12:29 |
| jrib | Generation: right click > copy | 12:30 |
| Generation | ctrl c wont work in command line | 12:30 |
| Generation | ok | 12:30 |
| Generation | /home/professor | 12:30 |
| jrib | Generation: if you want to use the keyboard, you can use ctrl-shift-c | 12:30 |
| Generation | ohhhhhh ok | 12:30 |
| jrib | Generation: also, you Linux lets you just highlight something to copy it and then use middle click to paste it somewhere else, really convenient | 12:30 |
| Generation | ok | 12:31 |
| jrib | Generation: ok, so what did you do last time to try to get to "games"? | 12:31 |
| Generation | well it is a file folder | 12:31 |
| Generation | called Thief deadly shadows | 12:31 |
| jrib | Generation: is it on your Desktop? | 12:32 |
| Generation | no | 12:32 |
| jrib | Generation: ok, what do you want to do with it? Is this a windows game? | 12:32 |
| Generation | Yea IT is | 12:32 |
| Generation | I just wanted to open it up and see what is in side | 12:33 |
| jrib | ok | 12:33 |
| jrib | so where is it located? | 12:33 |
| Generation | ok if I type in "ls" it shows up | 12:33 |
| jrib | ok, so now you should be able to type this: cd Thief | 12:33 |
| jrib | and then press the TAB button twice and it should complete the rest | 12:34 |
| Generation | ok here is an example | 12:34 |
| Generation | I have a books called oriellys | 12:34 |
| Generation | and if I do cd I cant get into them | 12:34 |
| Generation | nope didnt work | 12:34 |
| jrib | what does it say when you try? | 12:34 |
| Generation | nothing | 12:34 |
| Generation | command not reconized | 12:35 |
| jrib | Generation: paste the command you used | 12:35 |
| Generation | ok | 12:35 |
| Generation | ok wait I got it | 12:36 |
| Generation | got into file | 12:36 |
| Generation | cool | 12:36 |
| jrib | k | 12:36 |
| Generation | ok | 12:36 |
| Generation | my next question is this | 12:36 |
| Generation | How do I go into a program, like a game, and change something | 12:37 |
| Generation | I have this game on linux | 12:37 |
| Generation | racing game and I want to change the time limit of the race so I can beat it | 12:37 |
| Generation | lol | 12:37 |
| jrib | haha | 12:37 |
| Generation | How do I get into the txt file | 12:38 |
| Generation | and how do I change it | 12:38 |
| jrib | Generation: depends how the time limit is set. If it is some kind of setting, you can edit the configuration files for the game. These are probably somewhere in /etc or if it's something your user can configure they might be in ~/.name_of_game where "~" means "/home/professor" | 12:38 |
| jrib | if it's hard coded, then you would have to edit the source code... | 12:39 |
| jrib | Generation: what game by the way? | 12:39 |
| Generation | ok that is another thing, sorry I am throwing quesitons at you | 12:39 |
| Generation | Trigger | 12:39 |
| Generation | I beat it once | 12:39 |
| Generation | and I want to see what I can do with everything else | 12:40 |
| Generation | I tried the "find" still nothing | 12:41 |
| jrib | Oh I like this game, let me see... | 12:41 |
| Generation | and where is a good place to get linux games, most of them are sinple | 12:42 |
| jrib | Generation: I'm guessing somewhere in /usr/share/trigger-data | 12:42 |
| jrib | Generation: yeah, for example /usr/share/trigger-data/maps/desertstorm/storm.level is an xml file with what seems to be some time info | 12:43 |
| jrib | "targettime" | 12:43 |
| jrib | hmm trigger just locked up X for me on feisty, and since there is some strange bug in feisty I was trying not to reboot... I may not return :) Any last minute questions? | 12:44 |
| Generation | yea | 12:45 |
| Generation | I got in | 12:45 |
| Generation | and there is no xml file | 12:45 |
| Generation | to | 12:45 |
| Generation | edit and when I find it how do I edit it | 12:45 |
| jrib | storm.level is the file | 12:46 |
| jrib | I would make a backup copy first and then edit like this: gksudo gedit /usr/share/trigger-data/maps/desertstorm/storm.level | 12:46 |
| Generation | ok | 12:46 |
| Generation | thanks man | 12:46 |
| Generation | it has been fun | 12:46 |
| Generation | ok got a quick question, my graphics are going real slow | 12:48 |
| Generation | like bit by bit | 12:48 |
| Generation | how do I fix that | 12:48 |
| jrib | what kind of video card do you have? | 12:49 |
| Generation | ati | 12:49 |
| Generation | it worked fine before | 12:49 |
| jrib | !ati | Generation | 12:49 |
| ubotu | Generation: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 12:49 |
| Generation | I must of did something | 12:49 |
| Generation | I got wine working last night | 12:50 |
| Generation | was so excited | 12:50 |
| Generation | How do I reload drivers for ati card | 12:50 |
| jrib | Generation: you'll have to follow the guide on the wiki, I've never had the pleasure of setting up an ati card on linux | 12:50 |
| Generation | slol | 12:51 |
| Generation | ok thanks | 12:51 |
| Generation | have a good onne | 12:51 |
| jrib | Generation: or try asking in #ubuntu, if the wiki doesn't help | 12:51 |
| jrib | you too | 12:51 |
| Generation | thanks | 12:51 |

| Lbawinowns | Hi! | 01:57 |
| Lbawinowns | So jrib, what field in what application? | 01:58 |
| jrib | Lbawinowns: ok, lets take a step back | 01:58 |
| Lbawinowns | Ok | 01:59 |
| jrib | Lbawinowns: you have formatted the partition as ext3 using gparted? | 01:59 |
| Lbawinowns | I think so, I unmounted it with gparted and then i took format to ext3 | 01:59 |
| jrib | Lbawinowns: ok, now open up fstab with: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 02:02 |
| jrib | paste the line for /dev/hda2 here | 02:02 |
| Lbawinowns | I think i get some error | 02:02 |
| Lbawinowns | it says: | 02:02 |
| Lbawinowns | (gedit:15392): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: | 02:03 |
| Lbawinowns | Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. | 02:03 |
| nalioth | Lbawinowns: you'll always see that sort of stuff when using the terminal | 02:04 |
| Lbawinowns | Ok, should I use other? | 02:05 |
| jrib | Lbawinowns: gedit doesn't open? | 02:05 |
| Lbawinowns | No | 02:05 |
| Lbawinowns | wait, i think it's alredy open | 02:06 |
| Lbawinowns | #Added by diskmounter utility | 02:06 |
| Lbawinowns | /dev/hda2 /media/hda2 ntfs ro,user,fmask=0111,dmask=0000 0 0 | 02:06 |
| Lbawinowns | sorry, it was alerdy open | 02:06 |
| jrib | Lbawinowns: ok, change it to: /dev/hda2 /media/hda2 ext3 defaults 0 2 | 02:07 |
| Lbawinowns | all those lines? | 02:07 |
| jrib | Lbawinowns: just the one for /dev/hda2 | 02:07 |
| Lbawinowns | should i save it? | 02:08 |
| jrib | yep | 02:08 |
| Lbawinowns | OK done | 02:08 |
| jrib | sudo mount -a | 02:08 |
| Lbawinowns | should i write in terminal? | 02:09 |
| jrib | right | 02:09 |
| Lbawinowns | hmm... nothing happens, is that right? | 02:09 |
| jrib | yep, now see if you can write in /media/hda2 | 02:09 |
| Lbawinowns | Nope I can't, but it is a folder called lost+found there witha red cross in top right of it | 02:10 |
| jrib | oh right we need to setup permissions. Are you familiar with permissions? | 02:11 |
| Lbawinowns | hmm... not when it comes to linu | 02:11 |
| jrib | !permissions | Lbawinowns | 02:11 |
| ubotu | Lbawinowns: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux | 02:11 |
| jrib | take a coupl of minutes to read through that second link, ask here if you aren't sure what to do afterwards | 02:11 |
| Lbawinowns | Thanks :) | 02:12 |
| Lbawinowns | hmm... should i give /media/hda2 permission rwx? | 02:18 |
| jrib | Lbawinowns: well it depends how you want to set it up | 02:19 |
| jrib | Lbawinowns: you can give just your user the ability to write or you can give everyone that ability or you can setup a group so that only users in that group can do it | 02:19 |
| Lbawinowns | what does the user@host mean? | 02:19 |
| jrib | Lbawinowns: that's just what you see at your command line, you see your_username@your_hostname | 02:20 |
| Lbawinowns | hmm, 755 seems reasonable :), i can do it all while other users can run and read, right? | 02:20 |
| Lbawinowns | so if i write in terminal "/media/hda2 chmod 755" Will it result in that I can write to that partition? | 02:23 |
| Lbawinowns | lol i tried, and it just says that /media/hda2 is a catlouge XD | 02:25 |
| Lbawinowns | erm, jrib, I hope I'm not impatient. But can you assist me? | 02:31 |
| jrib | Lbawinowns: now that I have you hooked, each additional help will be $5 :) j/k, what's up? | 02:32 |
| Lbawinowns | Well, /media/hda2 chmod 755 doesnt do anything, it probably has a good reason for it tough :p | 02:33 |
| jrib | Lbawinowns: sudo chmod 755 /media/hda2 | 02:33 |
| jrib | but then you will want to be the owner of /media/hda2, so you should also do: sudo chown -R $USER: /media/hda2 | 02:34 |
| Lbawinowns | Haha you're such a nice person jrib :D, and smart! | 02:35 |
| Lbawinowns | I don't know what keeps up your aiding spirit. But I guess some people just are noble :) | 02:36 |

| NewbieBaba | hi jrib :D | 02:43 |
| jrib | hi again | 02:43 |
| NewbieBaba | u should remember me from last days i had problem with Live cd n downloaded the alternate cd as u said | 02:43 |
| NewbieBaba | i tried to install it n then yea i did i guess | 02:44 |
| NewbieBaba | n desktop didnt show up | 02:44 |
| NewbieBaba | it says Ubuntu 6.10 ubuntu -- ubuntu login : | 02:44 |
| NewbieBaba | after i log | 02:44 |
| jrib | right, you went straight to a login prompt | 02:44 |
| jrib | no errors right? | 02:44 |
| NewbieBaba | username@ubuntu:~$ | 02:44 |
| NewbieBaba | yea | 02:44 |
| NewbieBaba | n then i did | 02:44 |
| NewbieBaba | apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop | grep -i installe | 02:44 |
| NewbieBaba | apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop | grep -i installed | 02:44 |
| NewbieBaba | nothing show up | 02:45 |
| NewbieBaba | i think nothing will show up with that command anyway | 02:45 |
| jrib | ok, you are going to get a quick irssi primer so we can talk while you are on ubuntu, ok? | 02:45 |
| jrib | or do you know how to use irssi? | 02:45 |
| NewbieBaba | no :/ | 02:45 |
| NewbieBaba | i dunno what is irssi either | 02:45 |
| jrib | ok, first when you press ctrl-alt-f2 you will get a new login prompt | 02:46 |
| NewbieBaba | tty2 | 02:46 |
| NewbieBaba | or something | 02:46 |
| NewbieBaba | yea? | 02:46 |
| jrib | right, and ctrl-alt-f1 brings you back to tty1 | 02:46 |
| NewbieBaba | yea | 02:46 |
| jrib | ok, so when you get on ubuntu, install irssi with this command: sudo apt-get install irssi | 02:46 |
| jrib | hopefully that will work... | 02:46 |
| NewbieBaba | baba i cant get on ubuntu | 02:46 |
| jrib | you can do this at the command line you are in | 02:47 |
| NewbieBaba | o | 02:47 |
| jrib | the user@ubuntu$ thing | 02:47 |
| jrib | ok, then this is how you use irssi: | 02:47 |
| NewbieBaba | so i'll use that command on my command line "sudo apt-get install irssi" | 02:47 |
| jrib | yes | 02:47 |
| NewbieBaba | no NET connection needed right? | 02:48 |
| jrib | yes, you need internet | 02:48 |
| NewbieBaba | its like something coming with my install files | 02:48 |
| NewbieBaba | :/ | 02:48 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: does ubuntu have no net access? | 02:48 |
| NewbieBaba | baba i cant use Desktop of ubuntu | 02:48 |
| NewbieBaba | it makes me go that command line | 02:48 |
| NewbieBaba | when i reboot my computer | 02:48 |
| NewbieBaba | i can never get on Desktop | 02:49 |
| NewbieBaba | i can only get on that command line | 02:49 |
| NewbieBaba | its like | 02:49 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: that's ok, you probably still have access to the internet on the command line, assuming ubuntu set it up correctly | 02:49 |
| NewbieBaba | Starting Up... | 02:49 |
| NewbieBaba | o | 02:49 |
| NewbieBaba | ok i'll try | 02:49 |
| jrib | if not, you'll find out when you issue the install command. Make sure you copy any errors you get | 02:49 |
| NewbieBaba | should i use "apt-cache policy.." again ? | 02:49 |
| jrib | nah | 02:50 |
| NewbieBaba | ok only sudo apt-get install irssi | 02:50 |
| NewbieBaba | then | 02:50 |
| jrib | I'll tell you how to start irssi in a second, let me create a new user | 02:50 |
| === tester [n=tester@c-71-232-46-215.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| tester | ok | 02:50 |
| === tester [n=tester@c-71-232-46-215.hsd1.ma.comcast.net] has left #ubuntu-classroom [] | ||
| jrib | so to start irssi, you can issue this command: irssi -c irc.ubuntu.com | 02:51 |
| NewbieBaba | is it like a chat program that i can use ? | 02:51 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: then once irssi starts and is connected, you can join this channel with: /join #ubuntu-classroom | 02:51 |
| NewbieBaba | ok | 02:52 |
| NewbieBaba | goin to try that | 02:52 |
| NewbieBaba | bbl baba | 02:52 |
| === jrib needs to find who decided to remove irssi from a default install... | ||
| === NewbieBaba [n=NewbieBa@88.238.80.65] has joined #ubuntu-classroom | ||
| NewbieBaba | no im still on XP :( | 03:00 |
| NewbieBaba | jrib : i think that command line doesnt support NET connection thing | 03:00 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: what error did you get | 03:00 |
| NewbieBaba | E : couldnt find package | 03:00 |
| NewbieBaba | sudo apt-get install irssi | 03:01 |
| NewbieBaba | thats the command right ? | 03:01 |
| jrib | yes | 03:01 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: do you remember which option you chose when you loaded the install disk? | 03:02 |
| NewbieBaba | i tried all options | 03:02 |
| NewbieBaba | all way makes me go that command line | 03:02 |
| NewbieBaba | no desktop | 03:02 |
| NewbieBaba | i'll try to explain like its like Windows | 03:02 |
| NewbieBaba | i install Windows n a desktop shows up right ? | 03:03 |
| NewbieBaba | that desktop doesnt show up | 03:03 |
| NewbieBaba | i see only CMD | 03:03 |
| jrib | I understand | 03:03 |
| NewbieBaba | like i should start "setup" | 03:03 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: ok, on your next reboot we are going to try two things | 03:04 |
| NewbieBaba | ok <3 | 03:04 |
| jrib | first, we'll see if you have internet access, enter this command: ping www.google.com | 03:04 |
| NewbieBaba | ok | 03:04 |
| jrib | If it keeps throwing out output, then you are connected to the internet. To stop it, you press ctrl-c | 03:05 |
| NewbieBaba | k | 03:05 |
| NewbieBaba | now im goin ? | 03:05 |
| jrib | not yet | 03:05 |

| NewbieBaba | if not ? | 03:06 |
| jrib | you are in for many reboots :) | 03:06 |
| NewbieBaba | :D | 03:07 |
| jrib | ok, then you can try this: sudo sed -i 's/^# deb/deb/' /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 03:07 |
| NewbieBaba | lalalal | 03:07 |
| NewbieBaba | on the same command line ? | 03:07 |

| jrib | NewbieBaba: it usually is, you are probably just having problems because of the bad burn | 04:37 |
| NewbieBaba | hmm | 04:37 |
| jrib | you should be able to just install and then go straight to the Desktop | 04:37 |
| NewbieBaba | why do i need Alternate CD what is it for ? | 04:37 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: well the normal installer sometimes has problems on some hardware, so the alternate install is there as a backup | 04:38 |
| NewbieBaba | kk | 04:38 |
| NewbieBaba | if i solve those problems n able to get on Ubuntu i'll name my son as ur name :D | 04:39 |

| ubotu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 05:34 |
| NewbieBaba | which link should i go to? | 05:34 |

| NewbieBaba | if i use that with "cd" | 05:38 |
| NewbieBaba | jrib :) | 05:39 |
| jrib | NewbieBaba: it is the path to wherever your .iso is | 05:39 |
| NewbieBaba | its in D:\Yedekler\ | 05:40 |
| NewbieBaba | so ? | 05:40 |
| NewbieBaba | :S | 05:40 |
| jrib | so instead of typing \path\to\cddir type D:\Yedekler\ | 05:41 |
| NewbieBaba | md5sum -c filename.md5 | 05:42 |
| NewbieBaba | ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso is file name | 05:43 |
| NewbieBaba | when i replace filename with ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso | 05:43 |
