| Hellow | Hmm. | 01:19 |
| dude1 | something new Hellow? | 01:22 |
| dude1 | An issue you've not come across? | 01:26 |
| Hellow | I've never much liked booting from external devices. | 01:27 |
| dude1 | ok | 01:27 |
| dude1 | Well GRUB2 comes up with the standard Ubuntu 9.10, Recovery Mode and Mem Test, with Linux Mint 8 Main Edition Helena Shown at bottom of GRUB Menu but will not allow me to boot to it | 01:28 |
| dude1 | I select it and it gives me an error that no such device exists | 01:28 |
| dude1 | then when I try to select Ubuntu , it gives me the same error | 01:28 |
| dude1 | go to a shell prompt for GRUB, type exit and it allows me to boot Ubuntu | 01:29 |
| dude1 | brb | 01:29 |
| dude1 | Just something I'm toying with | 01:30 |

| ZachK_ | Hey DarkwingDuck | 01:44 |
| DarkwingDuck | how is life? | 01:45 |
| ZachK_ | DarkwingDuck: Ok....and you? | 01:45 |
| DarkwingDuck | good... busy | 01:45 |
| ZachK_ | DarkwingDuck: Ah...one minute and I'll look at your page | 01:46 |
| DarkwingDuck | thanks | 01:46 |
| DarkwingDuck | I'm slowing bulding content... just working with design. | 01:46 |
| mohi1 | hey DarkwingDuck , ZachK_ | 01:47 |
| DarkwingDuck | hey mohi1 | 01:47 |
| mohi1 | DarkwingDuck, sup? | 01:47 |
| mohi1 | i have to leave now... | 01:47 |

| dude1 | Ok, back for some more help with my dual boot Ubuntu 9.10 and Linux Mint 8 from new USB HDD | 02:04 |
| ZachK_ | Ok..... | 02:06 |
| dude1 | I installed them both Ubuntu first, then Linux Mint 8, opting to not use the Linux Mint 8 bootloader and just let Ubuntu handle it | 02:07 |
| dude1 | When I reboot and grub screen comes up it will not let me boot in to any of them | 02:07 |
| dude1 | I enter "c" for command line which takes me to a grub shell and I can type exit and it will go to the grub menu again and allow me to boot in to Ubuntu | 02:08 |
| ZachK_ | Hmmm..... | 02:08 |
| dude1 | I have also noticed through the disk utility that Linux Mint 8 has a very strange mount point to it | 02:09 |
| dude1 | file:///media/6841577c-eb9a-495c-bc0c-acf40df094f7 | 02:10 |
| dude1 | preceded by /dev/sda6 | 02:11 |
| dude1 | or I assume it to be strange, I'm a noob here | 02:12 |
| dude1 | So I'm wondering if there is a workaround for this | 02:14 |

| DarkwingDuck | ZachK_: ^^^^ | 03:41 |
| paultag | ZachK_, it's the kernel not a distro, so each distro may only have a small part of the whole list | 03:41 |

| pedro3005 | ZachK_, mine is just various parts assembled | 09:24 |
| pedro3005 | works good | 09:25 |
| talsemgeest | +1 on that, you generallly get better performance and value for money with a pc you build yourself | 09:25 |
| pedro3005 | make sure you get nvidia for graphics card and you're cool | 09:26 |
| pedro3005 | i have geforce 8800 and it works very well, recommended | 09:26 |
| talsemgeest | Hi SeVIIeN :) | 09:28 |
| SeVIIeN | Hellow talsemgeest | 09:29 |
| AcidBanger | Goodmorning everyone :) | 09:30 |
| pedro3005 | hello AcidBanger, SeVIIeN | 09:30 |
| pedro3005 | and talsemgeest | 09:30 |
| talsemgeest | Hehe, hey pedro3005 and AcidBanger :) | 09:30 |
| AcidBanger | I have a simple question I think, I need to configure an Ethernet port using the terminal how do I do that ??? | 09:31 |
| SeVIIeN | hi pedro3005 | 09:31 |
| SeVIIeN | nice friendly channel | 09:31 |
| SeVIIeN | plus I'm looking for some help, but I need to find the script I was working on first :P | 09:31 |
| talsemgeest | AcidBanger: How do you need to configure it? (I.E. what do you want to do?) | 09:32 |
| AcidBanger | I am setting up a ubuntu server so I need to give it a static IP in it's own range since it is gonna broadcast DHCP... | 09:32 |
| pedro3005 | SeVIIeN, oh bash scripting is not with me :/ need to learn more about it.. currently learning C++ | 09:33 |
| pedro3005 | AcidBanger, you'd use ifconfig, /methinks | 09:33 |
| talsemgeest | AcidBanger: Ok, first you need to open up /etc/network/interfaces (something like sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces) | 09:34 |
| pedro3005 | SeVIIeN, and getting beat up by it quite nicely, if you know what I mean ;) | 09:34 |
| AcidBanger | ok I did that :) | 09:34 |
| talsemgeest | AcidBanger: Ok, now you need to change one of the lines that has "dhcp" to "static" | 09:35 |
| SeVIIeN | pedro3005, lol, I can imagine, but it's well worth it | 09:35 |
| AcidBanger | I don't see DHCP anywhere :s | 09:35 |
| pedro3005 | SeVIIeN, you know it? | 09:35 |
| SeVIIeN | pedro3005, oh no way | 09:36 |
| AcidBanger | There us no cable in the interface is it possible to even configure it then ? | 09:36 |
| talsemgeest | AcidBanger: Should be a line something like this: "iface eth0 inet dhcp" | 09:36 |
| SeVIIeN | bash is bashing me up | 09:36 |
| pedro3005 | SeVIIeN, python is nice and easy | 09:36 |
| SeVIIeN | in fact, I would change the name of the sudo command | 09:37 |
| talsemgeest | AcidBanger: So the file is empty? | 09:37 |
| AcidBanger | auto lo | 09:37 |
| AcidBanger | iface lo inet loopback | 09:37 |
| SeVIIeN | some expletive would be nice | 09:37 |
| AcidBanger | Only 2 things I see | 09:37 |
| talsemgeest | AcidBanger: Ok, create a new line saying "iface eth0 inet static" | 09:38 |
| talsemgeest | AcidBanger: Then on a line under that type "address <IP address of the connection" | 09:38 |
| pedro3005 | SeVIIeN, geirha is your bash person | 09:38 |
| talsemgeest | Something like "address 192.168.1.4" | 09:38 |
| AcidBanger | I think in my case I should configure eth1 since eth0 is gonna be my internet connection | 09:38 |
| talsemgeest | AcidBanger: Ok, that sounds good | 09:39 |
| AcidBanger | This is what I got so far | 09:39 |
| AcidBanger | auto lo | 09:39 |
| AcidBanger | iface lo inet loopback | 09:39 |
| AcidBanger | iface eth1 inet static | 09:39 |
| AcidBanger | adress 192.168.1.254 | 09:39 |
| talsemgeest | AcidBanger: Ok, next line should be "netmask <netmask>" | 09:40 |
| talsemgeest | Something like "netmask 255.255.255.0" | 09:40 |
| talsemgeest | Then "network 192.168.1.0" | 09:40 |
| talsemgeest | "Broadcast 192.168.1.255" | 09:41 |
| talsemgeest | "gateway 192.168.1.1" | 09:41 |
| talsemgeest | Substituting in your own values of course :) | 09:41 |
| AcidBanger | Since it is a server should the gateway be the same as IP adress ? | 09:42 |
| talsemgeest | AcidBanger: Hmm, probably. You may even be able to leave that line out entirely | 09:43 |
| AcidBanger | ok thank you :) | 09:43 |
| talsemgeest | AcidBanger: Anything else? I need to go sleep :) | 09:44 |
| AcidBanger | Next step is setting up a DHCP server but I guess I will read some more documentation :) | 09:44 |
| talsemgeest | AcidBanger: Yeah, I have never been able to get my dhcp server running so I cant be of much help there :) | 09:45 |
| talsemgeest | Ok then, night all :) | 09:45 |
| AcidBanger | This so far is great ! | 09:45 |
| AcidBanger | Ty nn :) | 09:45 |
| pedro3005 | AcidBanger, hm, maybe http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html ? | 09:47 |
| AcidBanger | Thanks Pedro gonna look into that I will let you know how it is going :) | 09:47 |
| pedro3005 | AcidBanger, and I am going to school :P | 09:48 |

| benny1 | Hello! Can someone answer another of my newbie questions about installing Opera please? I am running ubuntu 9.10 on PS3. I have downloaded a file " | 10:47 |
| benny1 | opera-10.10-4742.gcc4-shared-qt3.ppc | 10:47 |
| Silver_Fox_ | What seems to be the problem benny1 :) | 10:47 |
| benny1 | oops sorry... anyway I have downloaded this and have no clue how to go about installing the opera browser, this just seems to be a folder rather than anything else. not sure what im doing wrong here... | 10:48 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Did you not download the .deb from here? http://www.opera.com/download/ | 10:49 |
| benny1 | yes | 10:49 |
| benny1 | i think I went for the debian version for power pc. as I didnt see a Ubuntu option | 10:49 |
| benny1 | I'm probably approaching this all wrong, I was expecting something to open in synaptic or the software manager as in an installation executable. I've only installed software this way before! | 10:51 |
| Silver_Fox_ | The deb isn't listed? http://www.opera.com/browser/download/?custom=yes | 10:52 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Is opera listed in the software center? Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center | 10:53 |
| * Silver_Fox_ isn't on Ubuntu at the moment so can't check ;) | 10:53 | |
| benny1 | when I go to the website opera/download/ it has a few options but doesnt mention Ubuntu, It seems to default to CentOS but i'm assusming its aplphabetised... | 10:54 |
| benny1 | the second link just appears to give me just a list of older browser versions. I just chose debian, and download from opera.com/download/ | 10:55 |
| benny1 | In the software centre I can't find anything for Opera, or Google Chrome. I want to basically have the fastest lightest browser as the PS3's resources are somewhat limited at the moment, and I heard that Opera would be best fit for my need. | 10:57 |
| Hellow | Chrome and Opera aren't in the Ubuntu repositories. | 10:58 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Morning Hellow :) | 10:58 |
| Hellow | Good morning Silver_Fox_ :) | 10:58 |
| benny1 | Hello, Hellow | 10:58 |
| benny1 | Hellow: Is it possible to install anyway? | 10:59 |
| Hellow | I would lean towards Opera, since Chrome uses one process per tab and can demolish your RAM with ease. | 10:59 |
| Hellow | From what I can tell, Opera is in the Canonical partner repositories. | 11:00 |
| Hellow | System -> Administration -> Software Sources | 11:00 |
| Hellow | Third-party software tab | 11:00 |
| benny1 | I will go for that one then Okay I will open that window now | 11:00 |
| Hellow | Check anything that has "archive.canonical.com" in it. | 11:00 |
| benny1 | Is this a similar thing to editing the repos in YDL? i screwed that one up! | 11:02 |
| Hellow | It's hard to screw up checking boxes :). | 11:02 |
| Hellow | Doing it manually is where most people mess up. | 11:02 |
| benny1 | Okay, on the first tab "Ubuntu oftware" I have everything checked except Source Code. I don't expect I'll need that. | 11:02 |
| benny1 | Under other software nothing is checked, yet, Cd ROM with ... jaunty jackalope is available but not checked | 11:03 |
| Hellow | Other software was the tab I meant. | 11:03 |
| Hellow | Check the two lines that have "archive.canonical.com" in them. | 11:04 |
| benny1 | Including "Source code"? | 11:04 |
| Hellow | Yes. | 11:04 |
| benny1 | Whilst I'm here on this tab is there anything else i should configure I may need in the future or will that cover most things as I assume this is going to point Ubuntu to the right place to "get" software from | 11:05 |
| Hellow | Unless you need to add custom repositories, you should be fine. | 11:06 |
| benny1 | Okay, it's now asking me to connect to the internet as the info about these ones is outdated... | 11:06 |
| Hellow | Let it. | 11:07 |
| Hellow | It has to update it's package database. | 11:07 |
| benny1 | Ive clicked Okay, Does this update Synaptic package manger, Ubuntu software centre or both? | 11:07 |
| Hellow | Technical answer: Synaptic package manager is just a frontend to a tool called "aptitude" - as is the Ubuntu Software Center, and the apt-get terminal program. | 11:08 |
| Hellow | It updates aptitude's package database. | 11:09 |
| benny1 | Ahh I get it. thanks hopefully i'll know better for next time now... | 11:09 |
| benny1 | okay I think that process has completed so should I be able to add opera from the software centre now? | 11:11 |
| Hellow | Yes. | 11:11 |
| benny1 | Hmm I think I did something wrong I don't see Opera, not under internet anyway... | 11:13 |
| Hellow | Hmm... | 11:13 |
| Hellow | Silver_Fox_: Poke. | 11:13 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Yes | 11:13 |
| Hellow | Silver_Fox_: Could you take over here? I'm about to be forced to leave for school. | 11:13 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Sure | 11:13 |
| Hellow | Thanks. | 11:13 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Pleasure | 11:14 |
| benny1 | Hellow: Thanks for the Help!!! | 11:14 |
| Hellow | benny1: No problem. Sorry I couldn't solve your problem. | 11:14 |
| Thraul | hey all | 11:14 |
| duanedesign | hello Thraul | 11:15 |
| benny1 | Hellow: I think even though i'm not quite there yet, I still know more than i did before and better equipped to help myself for the future very useful! | 11:15 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Hmm , benny1 : open a terminal: | 11:15 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Run this command: deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free | 11:15 |
| Thraul | I think this question might be a bit above beginner but i'll ask just the same, anyone here have any experience with remastering a ubuntu desktop live cd? | 11:15 |
| benny1 | Including the "deb" at the begging? | 11:15 |
| Silver_Fox_ | I would also have a look here benny1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser | 11:15 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Yes benny1 , we are going to install via repository | 11:16 |
| benny1 | It returned deb : Command not found | 11:17 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Oh my, sorry, | 11:17 |
| Thraul | Silver_Fox_, I believe the command you want to run is: sudo echo "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list | 11:17 |
| Thraul | then run and sudo apt-get update | 11:17 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Yes. That right Thraul :) | 11:17 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Yes | 11:17 |
| benny1 | Thraul: thanks | 11:18 |
| benny1 | With quotes | 11:18 |
| Thraul | yes | 11:18 |
| benny1 | is there a space between /opera/ and stable ? screens a little hard to see there. | 11:19 |
| Thraul | yeah | 11:19 |
| Thraul | just copy and paste should work ;) | 11:19 |
| benny1 | I dont have permission somehow.. | 11:20 |
| benny1 | bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied | 11:20 |
| Thraul | hmmm | 11:20 |
| Silver_Fox_ | sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 11:22 |
| benny1 | Silver_Fox_: I have that file open now. large text file, :-D | 11:23 |
| Silver_Fox_ | All you need do is add the "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" to the end | 11:23 |
| Silver_Fox_ | I am also sorry about telling you to run that command in terminal, it just slipped my mind. :) | 11:24 |
| Thraul | add it with out the quotes to the bottom of the file on a new line | 11:25 |
| Thraul | save and exit file | 11:25 |
| Thraul | go back to terminal and run: sudo apt-get update | 11:25 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Then run check for updates | 11:25 |
| Silver_Fox_ | :) | 11:25 |
| benny1 | don't apologise you are already helping me plenty I would be still trying to run a folder if it wanst for the pople here! | 11:25 |
| benny1 | Okay thats been saved | 11:26 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Yes, but its a silly mistake I made ;) I am more annoyed at myself than anything :D | 11:26 |
| benny1 | Oooh it seems busy now | 11:26 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Cool | 11:26 |
| benny1 | It gave an error right at the end.. | 11:27 |
| Thraul | whats the error? | 11:27 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Do you have the error? | 11:27 |
| benny1 | Get: 3 http://deb.opera.com stable/non-free Packages [859B] | 11:27 |
| benny1 | Fetched 2,115B in 1s (1,770B/s) | 11:27 |
| benny1 | Reading package lists... Done | 11:27 |
| benny1 | W: GPG error: http://deb.opera.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F9A2F76A9D1A0061 | 11:27 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Something like: wget -O - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add - | 11:28 |
| Silver_Fox_ | I assume its related to the opera gpg key... | 11:28 |
| benny1 | Ok that seemed t run without a hitch. | 11:28 |
| benny1 | back to the previous command? | 11:28 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Yes | 11:28 |
| Silver_Fox_ | :) | 11:28 |
| benny1 | looks like success | 11:29 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Okay | 11:29 |
| benny1 | Ign http://deb.opera.com stable/non-free Packages | 11:29 |
| benny1 | Ign http://deb.opera.com stable/non-free Packages | 11:29 |

| benny1 | Fetched 190B in 0s (221B/s) | 11:29 |
| benny1 | Reading package lists... Done | 11:29 |
| Thraul | cool | 11:29 |
| Thraul | now run: sudo apt-get install opera | 11:29 |
| Silver_Fox_ | sudo apt-get install opera | 11:30 |
| benny1 | Looks like its working, that was the first command i tried sudo apt-get install opera. and sudo apt-get opera. and I couldnt fathom what I wasn't doing right so I then started with the google. and then here.. | 11:31 |
| benny1 | Success! | 11:35 |
| benny1 | Thraul: Silver_Fox_: Thanks! I'ts now available in the menu for me :D | 11:36 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Do you need help getting flash working ? | 11:37 |
| Silver_Fox_ | ^ benny1 ^ | 11:39 |
| benny1 | I'm not sure, I would expect so, I haven't used it before | 11:39 |
| benny1 | is youtube flash? | 11:39 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Yes, it will require a flash player | 11:40 |
| Thraul | run: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer ? | 11:40 |
| Silver_Fox_ | try playing a video on youtube. I think it will say something about needing a flash player. I think it will provide a download link. | 11:41 |
| benny1 | yes, thats right I can't get my fix.. | 11:41 |
| benny1 | shall i try the link? | 11:41 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Can do, yes :) | 11:43 |
| benny1 | I assume choose APT for Ubuntu 9.04+ and agree install? | 11:45 |
| Silver_Fox_ | Sounds reasonable to me | 11:46 |
| benny1 | No joy, I get a page about : Error! | 11:46 |
| benny1 | The address type is unknown or unsupported | 11:46 |

| ZachK_ | Hello nat_ | 17:48 |
| ZachK_ | How are you nat_ ? | 17:48 |
| nat_ | good thank you | 17:48 |
| nat_ | i have a few questions about irc | 17:48 |
| ZachK_ | nat_: Fire away my man! | 17:48 |
| nat_ | is linux in general safe against irc related attacks | 17:49 |
| celthunder | ? | 17:49 |
| nat_ | i mean should i worried about botnets and such | 17:50 |
| celthunder | i'd say that depends on client, what kind of attack, your security etc | 17:50 |
| nat_ | can you explain a bit please | 17:50 |
| celthunder | if you turn off auto dcc transfers and someone tries to mass flood you with files through dcc then it won't work | 17:51 |
| ZachK_ | nat_: Ubuntu is very safe from attacks due to its coding structure...as for IRC what program are you using? | 17:52 |
| celthunder | if someone get's your ip (btw +x mode usually prevents that) and decides to send there botnet at you...not much you can do | 17:52 |
| nat_ | ZachK_: I want to use xchat | 17:52 |
| nat_ | celthunder: is there a way to hide my ip | 17:53 |
| ZachK_ | nat_: Using ubuntu? | 17:53 |
| celthunder | +x | 17:53 |
| nat_ | ZachK_: yes | 17:53 |
| ZachK_ | nat_: Yes there is... | 17:53 |
| ZachK_ | nat_: What version of ubuntu | 17:53 |
| nat_ | ZachK_: Karmic | 17:54 |
| ZachK_ | That's 9.10 correct ? | 17:54 |
| nat_ | ZachK_: yes | 17:54 |
| nat_ | celthunder: what does +x mean | 17:55 |
| celthunder | that's a mode | 17:55 |
| celthunder | /mode +x celthunder | 17:56 |
| celthunder | /mode celthunder +x | 17:56 |
| celthunder | one of the 2 | 17:56 |
| celthunder | so /mode your nick +x or /mode +x yournick | 17:56 |
| ZachK_ | nat_: Ok...go to software center and type in xchat | 17:56 |
| ZachK_ | celthunder: Thats providing he's registered the nick he wants | 17:57 |
| celthunder | ZachK_, no you dont need to register your nick | 17:57 |
| celthunder | +x works even if services is dropped maybe your fancy hostname won't work but it'll still change it | 17:58 |
| celthunder | or at least part ofi t | 17:58 |
| ZachK_ | K... | 17:58 |
| nat_ | ZachK_: yes I have installed the application using sudo apt-get install xchat | 17:58 |
| nat_ | celthunder: so does that mean i can use +x even if i am using web based irc clients | 17:59 |
| celthunder | nat_ yes.. | 18:00 |
| nat_ | celthunder: is +x same or similar to cloak. I am asking because I was reading around about irc before coming here. | 18:01 |
| celthunder | nat_ yeah same concept | 18:05 |
| celthunder | cloaks are usually provided with a password or something though | 18:05 |
| celthunder | or for specific users | 18:05 |
| nat_ | celthunder: ok thank you very much | 18:05 |
| celthunder | np :) anything else? | 18:07 |
| nat_ | celthunder: yes thank you. I tried /whois on my nickname even after trying /mode +x nickname | 18:07 |
| nat_ | celthunder: but i can still see my ip | 18:08 |
| celthunder | [nat_] (~82f5ead8@gateway/web/freenode/x-zdyobeikjopwantp | 18:08 |
| celthunder | you can always see your own ip | 18:08 |
| celthunder | * [celthunder] is connecting from *@lethaltechnology.net 64.62.173.121 | 18:08 |
| celthunder | see | 18:08 |
| celthunder | but if you whois me you'll just see lethaltechnology | 18:09 |
| celthunder | .net | 18:09 |
| celthunder | and i have -x cause i really don't care that much | 18:09 |
| nat_ | celthunder: i understand now. thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it. | 18:10 |
| celthunder | :) | 18:10 |

| mohi1 | will be back in 2 hours 30 mins. (hope so) :) | 20:05 |
| AJH101 | Hello - I am trying to install an old Philips web cam. I have found easycam but cannot get that to install - can anyone help please? | 20:10 |
| pedro3005 | AJH101, what are you trying? | 20:10 |
| bodhi_zazen | AJH101: what are you trying to install and what application are you using the web cam with ? | 20:10 |
| AJH101 | Thanks - I am trying to install a Philips PCVC820 | 20:11 |
| AJH101 | I can see a red light flashing on the cam so I think it is working ok but I cannot get a video signal from it! | 20:12 |
| bodhi_zazen | Well, unlike windows, in general you do not "install" drivers | 20:12 |
| bodhi_zazen | try using your camera first with "cheese" | 20:12 |
| AJH101 | The software centre tells me cheese is installed but I cannot find it in any menu! | 20:13 |
| bodhi_zazen | Applications -> multimedia I think | 20:13 |
| bodhi_zazen | or open a terminal and enter the command | 20:13 |
| bodhi_zazen | cheese | 20:13 |
| pedro3005 | bodhi_zazen, it's Applications > Sound & Video | 20:14 |
| AJH101 | Aagh! Found it thank you - I can see a video signal but the cam does not seem to want to work with Skype | 20:14 |
| bodhi_zazen | OK, so the problem is likely with Skype then | 20:18 |
| AJH101 | So - my cam works with Cheese fine but not with Skype - any ideas? When I enter the video options in Skype I press on the test button and end up with a white screen until i hit escape. | 20:18 |
| bodhi_zazen | you could either ask on the Skype forums or consider Ekiga ? | 20:18 |
| AJH101 | Very possibly but how do i solve it?! lol | 20:18 |
| AJH101 | ekiga? is that campatible with skype users? | 20:18 |
| bodhi_zazen | IDK as it is not a hardware problem, it is a skype problem and I do not use skype enough | 20:18 |
| Hellow | Also, skype isn't open-sourced, so we can't do anything besides point you to the skype forums. | 20:19 |
| bodhi_zazen | No it is not compatible with skype | 20:19 |
| bodhi_zazen | http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=153721 | 20:20 |
| AJH101 | ok thatnks - now i will have to try with Pidgin! :-) | 20:20 |
| Hellow | Ekiga is a client for SIP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_Initiation_Protocol). It'll work with any other client that is compatible with SIP, AFAIK. | 20:20 |
| Hellow | (ekiga's also open-source) | 20:20 |
| lukjad86 | Bodsda ! | 20:21 |
| lukjad86 | Hai gang | 20:21 |
| katycorp | pedro3005: So I'm following the instructions on that link, and when I run update-grub I get an error that says "cannot find list of partitions" | 20:22 |
| Hellow | lukjad86 ! | 20:22 |
| katycorp | but fdisk -l lists them all | 20:22 |
| lukjad86 | Hellow ! | 20:22 |
| pedro3005 | katycorp, hm. not sure.. | 20:27 |
| katycorp | so it fails when it tries to grep /proc/mounts | 20:27 |
| katycorp | because proc/mounts doesn't exist | 20:27 |
| pedro3005 | katycorp, O.o it does here | 20:28 |
| pedro3005 | maybe you should asks someone who knows better.. like luk... well not lukjad86. but maybe bodhi_zazen or Hellow ;) | 20:29 |
| Hellow | Hmm? | 20:29 |
| lukjad86 | Ohai pedro3005 | 20:29 |
| katycorp | well I'll take any help I can get, I'm pretty unfamiliar with grub | 20:30 |
| lukjad86 | pedro3005 Don't hassle me, I just came back from the hospital :P | 20:30 |
| Hellow | Hmm. | 20:30 |
| Hellow | pedro3005: What link is this? | 20:31 |
| katycorp | http://linuxers.org/howto/how-recover-grub2-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala | 20:31 |
| pedro3005 | Hellow, it's mohi1's link | 20:31 |
| pedro3005 | oh | 20:31 |
| katycorp | I just did a fresh install and when I booted up grub failed to boot into ubuntu. Then I tried selecting "boot from hard disk" in the live cd menu, and I get a grub error "no such partition" | 20:32 |
| Hellow | Heh, I know who wrote that. | 20:32 |
| Hellow | shredder12: Ping. | 20:32 |
| katycorp | when I boot into the livecd and chroot, the /proc/ dir is empty | 20:33 |
| bodhi_zazen | katycorp: I was going to say, aer you using openvz, LXC, or a chroot ? | 20:36 |
| Hellow | I honestly haven't a clue about how to fix this. grub2 basically eliminated any knowledge of grub. | 20:36 |
| bodhi_zazen | when you chroot you need to mount a few things | 20:36 |
| bodhi_zazen | mount -t proc none /proc | 20:36 |
| bodhi_zazen | mount -t sysfs none /sys | 20:37 |
| bodhi_zazen | mount -t devpts none /dev/pts | 20:37 |
| bodhi_zazen | within the chroot | 20:37 |
| bodhi_zazen | unmount them when you are done | 20:37 |
| bodhi_zazen | what are you trying to do exactly ? | 20:37 |
| katycorp | boot into ubuntu | 20:38 |
| Hellow | bodhi_zazen: He's following the guide at http://linuxers.org/howto/how-recover-grub2-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala | 20:38 |
| bodhi_zazen | well you do not boot into ubuntu with chroot so you will need to be more specific then that, even if you are frustrated | 20:38 |
| katycorp | I just installed it, and upon restarting after the install it failed to boot,giving a "no such partition" error | 20:39 |
| katycorp | so I am trying to follow the steps in that link to fix grub | 20:39 |
| katycorp | but am not having any luck so far | 20:39 |
| bodhi_zazen | That is not such a good link to follow | 20:39 |
| bodhi_zazen | I doubt you have a separate boot partition for example, although you may | 20:40 |
| bodhi_zazen | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD | 20:40 |
| katycorp | when I installed ubuntu I used the default partitioning option, which I think uses the entire disk | 20:40 |
| bodhi_zazen | what happens when you boot ? | 20:40 |
| bodhi_zazen | you get the grub screen -> ubunt uboots ? | 20:41 |
| bodhi_zazen | and what version of Ubuntu ? | 20:41 |
| bodhi_zazen | did you install 10.05, the Beta ? | 20:41 |
| katycorp | no it's 9.10 | 20:41 |
| katycorp | when I boot I get a disk error | 20:41 |
| katycorp | so I put the livecd in and selected "boot from local disk" | 20:41 |
| katycorp | and then I get a grub error "no such partition" | 20:42 |
| katycorp | and it drops to the grub rescue shell | 20:42 |
| bodhi_zazen | did you do anything fancy like encrypt your installation ? | 20:43 |
| bodhi_zazen | Or just go with the defalts | 20:43 |
| katycorp | all defaults | 20:43 |
| katycorp | my home dir is not encrypted or anything | 20:44 |
| katycorp | so I followed the instructions on the link you posted, and when I get to grub-install, I get two warnings and then an error: "cannot read '/grub/core.img" correctly | 20:44 |
| bodhi_zazen | you running the live CD now ? | 20:45 |
| katycorp | yes | 20:45 |
| bodhi_zazen | do you know how to use pastebin ? | 20:45 |
| bodhi_zazen | if so, pastebin the output of | 20:45 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo blkid | 20:46 |
| katycorp | well the computer I'm doing this on is not connected to the internet right now | 20:46 |
| bodhi_zazen | L O L !!! | 20:46 |
| bodhi_zazen | do you know what partition is your ubuntu root ? | 20:47 |
| katycorp | hmmm nope | 20:47 |
| bodhi_zazen | Well you need to figure that out | 20:48 |
| shredder12 | hi Hellow | 20:48 |
| bodhi_zazen | fdisk -l | 20:48 |
| bodhi_zazen | will list your partitions | 20:49 |
| Hellow | shredder12: katycorp is having trouble with one of the articles you wrote at Linuxers. | 20:49 |
| Hellow | http://linuxers.org/howto/how-recover-grub2-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala | 20:49 |
| shredder12 | oh! thats bad.. Could anyone tell me at which step? | 20:50 |
| katycorp | the grub-mkconfig one | 20:50 |
| shredder12 | let me see.. | 20:51 |
| katycorp | step #7 | 20:51 |
| shredder12 | katycorp, didn't update-grub work? | 20:51 |
| bodhi_zazen | shredder12: LOL - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD | 20:52 |
| bodhi_zazen | chroot makes it more complicated then it needs to be, IMHO | 20:52 |
| katycorp | shredder12: actually no it didn't, it says it can't find the list of partitions | 20:52 |
| bodhi_zazen | although I do like to play in chroot | 20:52 |
| bodhi_zazen | just remember, those who play with root eventually kill tree | 20:53 |
| shredder12 | bodhi_zazen, yeah.. thats the original tutorial that helped me out... it took me a whole day to install karmic at first.. had to recover a lot of times.. thats how I got to know grub2 better.. :) | 20:54 |
| shredder12 | katycorp, bodhi_zazen is it just a simple "windows overwrote mbr" issue or something else? | 20:54 |
| katycorp | shredder12: no there's no dual boot or anything | 20:55 |
| bodhi_zazen | naw, frest install, will not boot | 20:55 |
| bodhi_zazen | I suspect it is a bug | 20:55 |
| shredder12 | bodhi_zazen, it could be.. so after installation, he is unable to boot into the system? | 20:55 |
| shredder12 | katycorp, does the grub show up? | 20:56 |
| katycorp | shredder12: no it says "disk boot failure" | 20:56 |
| katycorp | and then I try to boot the primary disk from the livecd menu | 20:57 |
| katycorp | and then I get a grub error that says no partitions found | 20:57 |
| shredder12 | katycorp, oh.. and so I guess you tried to recover grub from the live session.. and then again got the error.. | 20:58 |
| katycorp | yeah | 20:59 |
| shredder12 | katycorp, are you still in live session? | 20:59 |
| katycorp | yeah | 20:59 |
| bodhi_zazen | I am *trying* to get katycorp to mount the ubuntu partition at /mnt, but we do not seem to know what partition that is | 20:59 |
| katycorp | I already did that | 20:59 |
| katycorp | per the link | 20:59 |
| katycorp | /dev/sda1 is mounted on /mnt/ | 21:00 |
| shredder12 | katycorp, hey if you are in live session.. open gparted and it will tell you where is the "/" partition mounted | 21:00 |
| bodhi_zazen | ls /mnt | 21:00 |
| shredder12 | ofcourse.. | 21:00 |
| bodhi_zazen | does that command show things such as /boot and /etc ... | 21:01 |
| katycorp | after I chroot it shows nothing | 21:01 |
| bodhi_zazen | we do not need to use chroot | 21:01 |
| katycorp | gparted shows that /dev/sda1 is mounted on /,mt/ | 21:02 |
| bodhi_zazen | without chroot, what is in /mnt if you | 21:02 |
| bodhi_zazen | ls /mnt | 21:02 |
| katycorp | bin, boot, cdrom etc | 21:02 |
| bodhi_zazen | OK | 21:02 |
| bodhi_zazen | sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda | 21:02 |
| shredder12 | yes, its the / partition. | 21:02 |
| katycorp | /dev/sda or /dev/sda1? | 21:03 |
| bodhi_zazen | sda | 21:03 |
| katycorp | says it finished, no error reported | 21:04 |
| bodhi_zazen | reboot and report any errors | 21:04 |
| katycorp | hmmm still having a disk boot failure | 21:07 |
| katycorp | that's disappointing | 21:07 |
| shredder12 | eh.. | 21:08 |
| katycorp | shredder12: So does this mean that the grub installation failed silently during the install? | 21:09 |
| shredder12 | katycorp, well, it could have been at the time of installation.. but even after installing it again it didn't seem to work. it didn't even give any error | 21:10 |
| bodhi_zazen | most likely you have a bug | 21:10 |
| bodhi_zazen | it seems grub does not recognize the disk | 21:10 |
| shredder12 | btw.. when do we get a disk boot failure? | 21:10 |
| katycorp | right at start up | 21:11 |
| bodhi_zazen | reboot | 21:11 |
| ghostofmybrain_ | is there some sort of ftp program that runs from the command line? | 21:11 |
| shredder12 | bodhi_zazen, could this be somehow related to some bios setting? | 21:11 |
| bodhi_zazen | When you get to the grub screen , select command line | 21:12 |
| bodhi_zazen | ghostofmybrain_: like ftp ? | 21:12 |
| bodhi_zazen | =) | 21:12 |
| bodhi_zazen | or scp | 21:12 |
| katycorp | it never gets to the grub screen | 21:12 |
| bodhi_zazen | when you get to a grub command line ... | 21:12 |
| bodhi_zazen | katycorp: the menu is hitted | 21:12 |
| bodhi_zazen | hit teh Esc key | 21:12 |
| katycorp | well it's in the grub rescue> prompt right now | 21:13 |
| bodhi_zazen | as you boot | 21:13 |
| bodhi_zazen | OK | 21:13 |
| bodhi_zazen | set root=(hd0,1) | 21:13 |
| katycorp | ok | 21:13 |
| ghostofmybrain_ | bodhi_zazen: soemthing like filezilla or something, but running from the command line | 21:13 |
| bodhi_zazen | linux /boot/vmilnuz ... rot=/dev/sda1 | 21:14 |
| bodhi_zazen | use tab completion to fill in the vmlinux version | 21:14 |
| bodhi_zazen | ghostofmybrain_: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/164/tn_16418.html | 21:15 |
| bodhi_zazen | http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/194/tn_19496.html | 21:15 |
| katycorp | hmm there's no autocomplete happening | 21:15 |
| bodhi_zazen | OK, you will need to boot the live CD | 21:15 |
| bodhi_zazen | mount /dev/sda1 at /mnt | 21:15 |
| bodhi_zazen | ls /mnt/boot | 21:15 |
| bodhi_zazen | and write down the kernel version number | 21:15 |
| bodhi_zazen | vmlinux .... | 21:16 |
| bodhi_zazen | err, vmlinuz | 21:16 |
| bodhi_zazen | and initrd | 21:16 |
| bodhi_zazen | you need the exact version numbers | 21:16 |
| shredder12 | bodhi_zazen, i think he spelled /boot/vmilnuz .. not vmlinuz | 21:16 |
| katycorp | yeah I know | 21:16 |
| katycorp | it still didn't autocomplete | 21:17 |
| shredder12 | hey try to autocomplete after typing /boot | 21:17 |
| shredder12 | does it show anything? | 21:17 |
| bodhi_zazen | you need the vmlinux-2.6.30 or whatever it is called | 21:17 |
| katycorp | ack too late I'm already booting into the live cd | 21:17 |
| shredder12 | alright | 21:18 |
| bodhi_zazen | set root=(hd0,1) | 21:18 |
| bodhi_zazen | linux /voot/vmlinuz-2.6.... root=dev/sda1 | 21:18 |
| bodhi_zazen | initrd /boot/initrd-2.6..... | 21:18 |
| bodhi_zazen | boot | 21:18 |
| ghostofmybrain_ | bodhi_zazen: cool deal, thank you | 21:18 |
| bodhi_zazen | np ghostofmybrain_ | 21:19 |
| bodhi_zazen | oops | 21:21 |
| bodhi_zazen | root=/dev/sda1 , forgot the leading / | 21:21 |
| katycorp | ok I got the version numbers for initrd and vmlinuz | 21:24 |
| katycorp | can I get back into to grub prompt from here or do I have to reboot? | 21:24 |
| bodhi_zazen | reboot | 21:24 |
| katycorp | I hit escape from the livecd menu and entered set root=(hd0,1) and it said it could not find the kernel image | 21:28 |
| bodhi_zazen | you at the grub prompt ? | 21:29 |
| bodhi_zazen | I would boot to the hard drive | 21:30 |
| bodhi_zazen | not the live CD | 21:30 |
| katycorp | ok, I thought I could use a shortcut, it takes forever to fail and then drop to the grub rescue prompt | 21:31 |
| bodhi_zazen | Well, when it boots to the HD you should in theory be able to hit the esc key | 21:32 |
| katycorp | ok uhh, it says unknown commend "linux" | 21:37 |
| bodhi_zazen | did the set command go OK ? | 21:38 |
| AJH101 | hello my webcam works with cheese but not with skype - can anyone make snse of the last post on the support page? http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=465281 | 21:38 |
| katycorp | bodhi_zazen: I entered: linux vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=/dev/sda1 | 21:38 |
| bodhi_zazen | did you misspelll linux ? | 21:38 |
| katycorp | yeah the set command worked fine | 21:38 |
| bodhi_zazen | linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=/dev/sda1 | 21:38 |
| katycorp | sorry, that is what I entered | 21:38 |
| katycorp | with the /boot prefix | 21:38 |
| bodhi_zazen | you sure you spelt linux correctly ? | 21:40 |
| bodhi_zazen | lol | 21:40 |
| katycorp | yeah | 21:40 |
| bodhi_zazen | did you check the integrity of your iso or the quality of your burn ? | 21:41 |
| katycorp | I verified the disc while writing and checked the disk before I installed | 21:42 |
| AJH101 | hi guys anone know anything about skype on ubuntu? | 21:42 |
| bodhi_zazen | I am sorry, I am at a loss to explain why the linux command did not work | 21:42 |
| bodhi_zazen | you can try re-booting | 21:42 |
| bodhi_zazen | and rather then droping to a command line, edit the grub lines | 21:43 |
| katycorp | I have another hard drive, maybe I will stick that one in and give it a shot | 21:43 |
| katycorp | maybe the hard drive is bad? | 21:43 |
| bodhi_zazen | again you should in theory be able to do this by hitting the esc key | 21:43 |
| katycorp | :-\ | 21:43 |
| bodhi_zazen | you could check the cables and HD, but it mounts in a live CD | 21:43 |
| katycorp | well thanks for the help anyway | 21:46 |
| katycorp | I think I have to go do something else for a while so I don't throw that computer out of the window | 21:46 |
| bodhi_zazen | AJH101: looks like you are having problems with skype, again I suggest you post on the skype forums as your issue is very application specific and Ubuntu seems to recognize you camera, in cheese ;P | 21:46 |
| AJH101 | oops yes sorry will do :-) | 21:47 |
| bodhi_zazen | looks like I scared AKH101 off, lol | 21:48 |

| switchgirl | thanks | 21:55 |
| katycorp | switchgirl: if you're using rhythmbox it's edit -> plugins -> DAAP music sharing, make sure the checkbox is checked and then hit the configure button to share your music | 21:57 |
| === hobgoblin is now known as hobgoblin|afk | ||
| katycorp | bodhi_zazen: the other hard drive seemed to work fine, same disc | 22:24 |
| bodhi_zazen | sweet =) | 22:25 |
| bodhi_zazen | so hardware problem it appears | 22:25 |
| katycorp | yeah apparently so | 22:25 |
| bodhi_zazen | Ah, but look at all you learned =) | 22:27 |
| katycorp | heh I suppose, although nothing was successfully debugged | 22:29 |
| bodhi_zazen | not so | 22:30 |
| bodhi_zazen | it appears to be a hardware problem , and I do not think you can debug that with a software solution | 22:31 |
| switchgirl | katycorp: thanks that's saved me a bunch of pain | 22:34 |
| switchgirl | :) | 22:34 |
| * switchgirl gives katycorp a million fat free corn syrup free pizza's | 22:35 | |
| switchgirl | thank you | 22:35 |
| katycorp | yay, finally a pizza without corn syrup | 22:35 |
| katycorp | your welcome | 22:36 |
| katycorp | wow I just spent 25 minutes looking around my apartment for the little antenna that goes with the wireless adapter in the desktop I just set up with ubuntu | 22:39 |
| katycorp | I actually put it in the box it came in | 22:39 |
| katycorp | who does that?! it makes it impossible to find anything | 22:39 |
| phillw | katycorp: that woukld make sense ;-) | 22:40 |
| switchgirl | katycorp: one question lan or http:// | 22:40 |
| switchgirl | ? | 22:40 |
| katycorp | switchgirl: not exactly sure what you mean but DAAP is generally used for sharing music over a local network | 22:41 |
| switchgirl | oh :( | 22:41 |
| switchgirl | i need it over http:// | 22:41 |
| switchgirl | or tcp / ip | 22:42 |
| switchgirl | ie teh internetz | 22:42 |
| katycorp | yeah that's a bit more involved | 22:42 |
| switchgirl | from edinburgh uk to norwich | 22:42 |
| katycorp | you could always turn your computer into a webserver | 22:42 |
| switchgirl | http://www.damonkohler.com/2009/01/rhythmbox-shout2send-plugin.html | 22:44 |
| switchgirl | would that work? | 22:44 |
| switchgirl | :s | 22:44 |
| switchgirl | i mean it says ogg i have mp3 | 22:45 |
| katycorp | well it looks like he actually has a webserver set up | 22:46 |
| katycorp | and is using icecast to stream his content | 22:46 |
| katycorp | the plugin is just some code that streams whatever is currently playing in his rhythmbox instance | 22:47 |
| katycorp | I mean that would work but you have to realize it's more involved than just installing the plugin | 22:47 |
| switchgirl | i dont want it via ssh | 22:47 |
| katycorp | you need a webserver running icecast as well (it appears) | 22:47 |
| switchgirl | as the technophobe woud freak | 22:47 |
| katycorp | icecast isn't via ssh, it's a webserver. You'd need some knowhow of web hosting/setup probably | 22:51 |
