axelm7hello, I am installing xubuntu 7.0.4 right now. I have checked that the CD media is ok, and after starting the installation, it says /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off. Then it takes me to a busybox prompt and does not continue.12:54
axelm7what should I try next? install in safe text mode?12:54
axelm7on the bottom of the screen it says (initramfs) and I get a prompt there12:55

axelm7crap, I hate old obsolete hardware. The RAM on this machine is probably bad, or the IDE controller or the IDE cable. I am getting all sorts of weird errors01:35
viddsilvertip257, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/01:35
silvertip257thank you very much - interesting01:36
silvertip257ah nice I'm going to book mark that - neato, too bad it doesn't seem more obvious from the ubuntu page01:37
viddand gutsy.....http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/01:38
silvertip257yep similar dir path01:40
viddi will be periodically updating the image on my page as updates are made01:41
silvertip257cool01:41
viddwith the mini, the kernel version on the disk must match what is in the repo's...otherwise it wont install01:42
axelm7found the problem :) the cd reader was bad. I put another CD reader and it is booting now :)01:48
axelm7it takes FOREVER to boot on this machine from the livecd01:51
viddthat is because it has to load the entire os in ram01:51
axelm7lol, it is such a lame pc, i am doing this only because it's my father in law's pc. I would have torched this pc otherwise01:51
axelm7a nice bucket of kerosene and a match01:52
viddit would be a decent server01:52
axelm7just to make sure nobody else is tortured with this garbage01:52
axelm7i use a p2 333 384mb 80gb as a server here at home01:53
axelm7a p1 is just too old01:53
viddall depends on what your using it for01:53
viddi can make an 80-386 into a halfway decent printer server!01:54
axelm7openbsd on this machine would work fine as a router01:54
silvertip257you've got a P1 still ?01:54
silvertip257me 201:54
axelm7a garbage hand me down pc01:54
silvertip257a couple if the 2nd one still works ;)01:54
silvertip257same here01:54
silvertip257only thing I could run on it was DSL / puppy01:55
axelm7i also have a p2 333, an athlon xp 2.5 and a inspiron 1200 laptop with 1.25 GB RAM01:55
silvertip257nice01:55
silvertip257I wanna build one soon - a desktop01:55
axelm7I haven't bought dual core yet for home. I have one at the office and I don't notice that much difference for what I do01:56
silvertip257is it your own business ?01:56
axelm7i am a partner there01:56
silvertip257ah01:56

vidddont surprise me at all02:03
silvertip257on a P1 you deserve it!  try dsl or puppy maybe ;)02:04
axelm7i hope that once i install it on the hd it boots faster02:04
viddaxelm7, i WOULD  be surprised if the live cd completed booting02:04
silvertip257not by much man02:04
silvertip257from my personal experience02:04
axelm7the user does not speak english, dsl is not an option02:04
axelm7and he is not computer savy, so forget dsl02:05
silvertip257it's a big pain on my p1 w/ decent amnt of ram for the time period02:05
silvertip257ok02:05
silvertip257dsl isn't that bad ;)02:05
silvertip257but you've got a pt02:05
axelm7this pc was booting xp sp2 in under 5 mins02:05
viddim telling you....the alt cd is the way to go with that pc02:05
axelm7firefox2 and ie7 were working pretty well, so was windows live messenger02:06
silvertip257wow axelm7 ... did you hack it that bad?02:06
silvertip257are you sure ... P1 ?02:06

silvertip257less on the one 've got02:07
silvertip257vidd:  do you know how to use "tar" correctly?02:07
axelm7configured the ADSL to act as router so i got rid of the pppoe part02:07
silvertip257will you check a phrase for me?02:07
viddsure02:07
silvertip257ok02:07
silvertip257vidd:  " tar -zcvfp /mnt/sda1/debian/deb4.0_netinst-base.tar.gz . " ... something can't be right though02:08
axelm7vidd, why do you say the alt cd will boot faster? will the installation from altcd be different then if i install from the live cd?02:08
silvertip257installation will be no different02:08
silvertip257final OS I mean02:08
viddright on the web site: To run the Desktop CD (LiveCD + Install CD), you need 128 MB RAM to run or 192 MB RAM to install02:09
silvertip257vidd:  my current dir is a partition I mounted w/ my deb OS - /mnt/hda502:09
viddtrying to untar?02:09

silvertip257vidd:  it says my path-to-tarfile doesn't exist ...02:11
axelm7vidd, I am waiting for the alt cd to finish downloading. Meanwhile I will let the live CD to continue booting02:12
axelm7bye guys, I am going to have dinner (Spanish seafood)02:12

viddyou need the "/" at the end if it is a directory you are trying to zip02:25
viddif it is a file, then no "/" at the end02:26
silvertip257ok02:26
silvertip257but if I make a dir my current one then I use a period right?02:26
viddno02:26
silvertip257what?!02:27
silvertip257hmm - can't remember how I did it in my big script a few months ago02:27
viddlets say you want to compress /home/vidd/directory/02:28
silvertip257ok02:28
viddyou can  cd to /home/vidd.....02:28
viddthen tar -cvvf directory.tar directory/02:29
viddor... tar -cvvf directory.tar /home/vidd/directory/02:30
silvertip257oh hmm02:30
silvertip257I read somewhere you always have a "." at the end for some reason02:30
viddfor a script...yeah02:30
silvertip257hmm02:31
silvertip257ok02:31
silvertip257dur that's why maybe02:31
viddbut that is dependent on the scripting language02:31
silvertip257lemme try some small dir02:31
viddsurvey says?02:35
silvertip257vidd:  why does it say - Cannot stat:  No such file or directory ?02:36
silvertip257it's referring to my tar file I wanna create02:36
viddpaste the command you typed02:37
silvertip257ok02:37
silvertip257tar -zcvfp /mnt/sda1/debian/test.tar.gz /mnt/hda5/bin/02:37

silvertip257vidd how come?02:39
silvertip257vidd:  here's my ref for this stuff - just found my bookmark:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem/TAR02:40
viddthe .gz comes from running gzip on the tar file02:40
silvertip257yes02:40
viddyou might want to cd to /mnt/sda1/debian02:41
viddthen run sudo tar -cvvf test.tar /mnt/hda5/bin02:42
silvertip257ok02:42
viddyou need sudo because there are root owned files in /bin02:42
viddthen run sudo tar -cvvf test.tar /mnt/hda5/bin/02:42
vidddont forget the / at the end!02:43
silvertip257nothing in that dir now ..02:43
silvertip257wasn't before either02:43

silvertip257yup that' swhat i'm doing ... i will try once mroe02:45
silvertip257*more02:45
silvertip257why cvvf ?02:45

silvertip257vidd:  z is for gzip compression and p is to preserve permissions02:47
viddare you still putting .gz at the end?02:47
silvertip257yes02:47
viddthe -z is for UNtar'ing02:47

silvertip257no luck02:49
viddare you including the sudo?02:49
silvertip257I'm root02:50
silvertip257!02:50
silvertip257well I sudo-ed02:50
vidddo you have write permissions on the drive you are righting to?02:50
silvertip257how do I check that?02:51
silvertip257I'm root though ..02:51

silvertip257ok how do I check that? / change it?02:52
viddopen it in thunar (or your file manager of choice) and check it's permissions02:53
silvertip257ok02:53
viddif it is mounted in RO, you need to UMOUNT it and re mount it in RW mode02:54
silvertip257ok eerrrr RO02:55
silvertip257f-ck d-mmit02:55
viddso it's read only?02:56

hyper_chTheSheep: you're here?10:54
TheSheephyper_ch: no10:58
TheSheephyper_ch: I'm here10:58
hyper_chyou're the rTorrent pro right?10:58
TheSheepno10:58
hyper_chTheSheep: I thought you're using it10:58
TheSheephyper_ch: well yes, from time to time10:59
TheSheephyper_ch: but I don't play with it10:59
hyper_chTheSheep: oh ok... I just had a small look at it and a few questions still remain unanswered :) I thought you may help10:59
TheSheephyper_ch: if not me, then maybe someone else11:00
TheSheep!ask | hyper_ch11:00
ubotuhyper_ch: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)11:00
hyper_chTheSheep: :) anyway, I just added for testing reasons a torrent that I share...11:00
hyper_chTheSheep: I didn't start downloading but then exited rTorrent... restarted it... but it was not listed anymore... why so?11:00
hyper_chquestion2:  is there a way to select only certain files from the torrent to download and not all of them?11:01
hyper_chquestion3: can you create new torrents with rtorrent - if so, how?11:01
hyper_chquestion4: is there a way to say where the files should be saved to? Like not all into the same directory?11:02

hyper_chGabz: epiphany11:04
hyper_chkazehakase11:04
hyper_chlynx (command line)11:04
Gabzlynx hmm something with a gui still would be nice11:05
hyper_chthe other two are gui11:05
TheSheepGabz: opra, dillo11:05
TheSheepGabz: opera I mean11:05
hyper_chGabz: open synaptic and search for "browser" and you will be presented quite a few11:06
hyper_chmaybe even swiftfox?11:06
Gabzyeah but since i was after something small i figured i would ask to so i have a better starting point11:06
Gabzi'll have to install acouple and see which loads fastests11:07
TheSheephyper_ch: I don't know the answers, I know you can download single files with rtorrent for sure, but never tried, I think you can change the place where the file is going to be saved, but don't know how either. You can configure the default saving directory in the config file.11:07
hyper_chTheSheep: yeah, saw that about the default saving directory :) btw, where are the .torrent files being stored?11:08
hyper_chTheSheep: oh... stupid question... I was jus thinking of ktorrent again ;)11:08

axelm7hi, I have just finished installing xubuntu 7.04. What is the best graphical package manager? I am not used to Debian style distributions, since I am a Fedora user.11:38
=== archypetro [n=bleh@85.92.179.168] has joined #xubuntu
Evergeteaxelm7, synaptic, imho11:41
hyper_chaxelm7: synaptic it is... but the command line is very simple to and allows you to write auto-downlaod and install script11:41
hyper_chaxelm7: that makes a reinstall quite quick ;)11:42
axelm7this pc is for my father in law, updates have to be automatic and package installs have to be graphical11:44
Evergetethe easiest way (for dummies, i think) is to go to system > add remove, is more semplified than synaptic11:45
axelm7I have to say that on this old pc with 128 MB RAM, xp sp2 runs faster than xubuntu. I have not disactivated the unnecessary services yet, maybe that's my prob11:46
=== nikolam [n=nikola@adsl-209-226.eunet.yu] has joined #xubuntu

axelm7ok, after about an hour of using xubuntu 7.04 on a very low end machine, I have to say that xp sp2 runs much faster on this hardware12:59
axelm7I can see firefox-bin using 45% cpu and xfce-taskmanager using 16-24%. These are constant values01:01
hyper_chaxelm7: just install a few things on xp and it will crawl01:04
axelm7I am not defending xp at all, I am just giving my feedback01:07
axelm7this same machine was running xp with ie7 and firefox. www surfing was reasonable. on xubuntu it is not01:07
axelm7I don't know if adobe flash plugin is eating way too much cpu01:08
axelm7xfce-taskmanager is always at 20-50% cpu. what is this process? a message dispatcher in xfce?01:09
hyper_chaxelm7: I'm just saying if you install the same amount of stuff that you get with xubuntu then xp is slower ;)01:09
axelm7maybe I can reduce the amount of eye candy (?) to make screen rendering faster01:09
hyper_chaxelm7: man xfce-taskmanager01:10
axelm7lol, xfce-taskmanager is the task that is showing me how much cpu each process is consuming.01:11

JestaI thinking of building a file server, would xubuntu be good for this type of thing?01:45
JestaI'm*01:45
hyper_chI tend to go for a server still to use debian01:46
hyper_chand no gui01:46
JestaI was only thinking xubuntu because of the linux fileserver article I read on bit-tech.net01:47
Jestain which they used xubuntu01:47
hyper_chJesta: well, first of all, if you want to operate a server you don't need a gui01:47
hyper_chJesta: a gui is a waste of resources ;)01:47
hyper_chJesta: and then, debian and ubuntu are quite similar... ubuntu is an offspring from debian and debian is known to provide rock-stable software01:48
hyper_chJesta: hence my preference for debian over ubuntu as server01:48
hyper_chJesta: but then, you say you want a "fileserver"... what do you want it do to exactely?01:49
=== joakim [n=Leho@80-235-70-21-dsl.trt.estpak.ee] has joined #xubuntu
Jestahyper_ch: It would be headless, so I would remote admin it - but basiclly, it would have a partition for each user would would backup/save their stuff to it. It would then have partitions that everyone can access eg Music, Setup Files, Movies etc. The users would all be using windows01:50
Jestafor each user *who01:50
hyper_chJesta: sounds like a job for samba01:50
Jestahyper_ch: thats what I was thinking01:51
hyper_chJesta: and you don't need a gui for it... so xubuntu has no server edition... only ubuntu does... can you point out that article for me?01:51
Jestahyper_ch: part one http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/06/05/build_your_own_server/101:52
Jestahyper_ch: part two http://www.bit-tech.net/bits/2007/07/24/build_your_own_better_server/201:52
hyper_chJesta: you don't need xubuntu01:54
hyper_chI'd use the debian install or ubuntu server install01:55

hyper_chso, decided on whether you want to do a gui install or server install?03:17
Jestaprobably go with ubuntu server03:17
Jestajust gotta read up on it now ;)03:17
hyper_chJesta: it's not a big difference... but still I'd go for debian... so did you already download a ubuntu server cd?03:19
hyper_chJesta: and by the way, you want the whole computer to dedicate as file server right? And if so, how many harddisks do you have in there?03:19
Jestanot yet, dosen't matter anyway because my ISP mirrors almost every big distro03:19
Jestaat the moment I only have one, but should be picking up a few more soon03:20
hyper_chJesta: how big is the current one?03:21
hyper_chand you do have two different computers, right? the one that will be the file server and anoter one?03:21
Jestajust an 80gb drive at the moment, its an old computer so will need to get more - and 5 computers will acess it03:22

OchiI've got a problem with a xubuntu Feisty installation on a RAID-1. Fsck seems to try to check not only the RAID devices but also individual partitions which are the RAID members. Is anyone else experiencing issues with RAID installations?06:43
Ochi...which obviously fails if those partitions are already part of a started RAID. In general I dislike checkfs checking the individual partitions and not the RAID as a whole ^^06:46

hyper_chI'm trying to help and you call me a dick?12:31
Lunisyes, i know what a hotkey is. i'm not the idiot you seem to think i am. i simply don't know the hotkey to toggle this Godforsaken keyboard12:32
hyper_chwhere did I point out that you are an idiot?12:32
Lunishyper_ch, i asked for a hotkey, and you asked me if i know what a hotkey is... that's acting like i'm an idiot12:34

foremanso general and obscure it's no wonder they were interpreted as condescending.12:37
hyper_chactually they aren't general at all ;) I just didn't tell do this or that but I wanted him to think...12:38
hyper_chthis implies that I actually did not think of him as an idiot but pointing where he needed to go12:38
hyper_chhowever if he refuses it's up to him12:38
Lunishyper_ch, I didn't ask for your help thinking, I've been thinking about it for quite some time. This is a support channel, not a general guidance channel. Support or gtfo12:38

hyper_chLunis: I do support but I am not required to spoon-feed ;)12:39

hyper_chforeman: you think spoon-feeding is any better?12:40
hyper_chforeman: you are welcome to tell him how to enable it again12:40
Lunishyper_ch, yes. stop assuming anyone who asks a question is an idiot, and give direct answers, or you're just making things harder12:40
foremani think that people come here because they have scoured forums and googled enough that they resort to talking to people like you.12:40
hyper_chLunis: giving direct answers assumes the other is an idition... pointing someone in a direction assumes the other is no idiot12:41
foremanyou are an idiot.12:42
foremandirect enough?12:42
hyper_chyou should watch your language foreman12:42
foreman:)12:42
Lunishyper_ch, i'm not sure where you're from but that's not the case in the english speaking world. If you say "the hotkey is alt+j" then you assume i know what a hotkey is, what alt is, etc. if you say "look over here maybe you'll find something related" then you're assuming they're an idiot and they have to be stepped through. I know how to use XFCE. I know how to use unix. I know how to do alot of things but I don't know about some features.12:42
Lunislanguage? i think his language is perfectly clean12:43
foremanpls dont perma banz muh ip adrez from teh internets?12:43
hyper_chLunis: you assumed first that I didn't know what a hotkey is... so I just did what you also did12:43
hyper_chLunis: you think calling someone an idiot is perfectly clean? do that to your boss ;)12:43
Lunishyper_ch, once again your intelligence shows. please let me know where exactly i said you don't know what a hotkey is?12:44
