peace | the only problem on this is my dns | 00:09 |
peace | how to check if my dns is working properly | 00:09 |
phillw | peace: idk, i run lamp on my lappy dns stuff i leave to my net provider and the domains I have bought. | 00:11 |
peace | ok | 00:12 |
peace | ok | 00:12 |
peace | phillw can you guide me in a way | 00:12 |
peace | let say i no nothing on ubuntu server instalation and configuration | 00:13 |
phillw | peace: I've had my laptop setup as a live system, it handled the tests okay. | 00:13 |
peace | what should i do after installing a base system | 00:13 |
peace | let say i do the exams witch way to start better | 00:14 |
phillw | peace: nor did (or do) I ;-) Are you wanting to learn about it ? | 00:14 |
peace | yeah | 00:14 |
peace | i want to learn it in standard way | 00:15 |
peace | you install base server and configure it from start to finish | 00:15 |
peace | install lamp | 00:15 |
peace | install ftp | 00:15 |
peace | install dns | 00:15 |
peace | configure lamp | 00:15 |
phillw | peace: my advice would be to put ubuntu Desktop on your system, then add LAMP. That way you will have access to the help of GUI | 00:16 |
peace | ok i have it install | 00:16 |
peace | then | 00:16 |
peace | how do i get help of gi | 00:16 |
peace | gui | 00:16 |
phillw | peace: do lamp via http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4 | 00:16 |
phillw | the GUI will enable you to use phpmyadmin for any MySQL stuff as you learn, puts on the Apache server etc. | 00:17 |
peace | yeah phillw you r right | 00:19 |
peace | but what i wanted is how to build servers configure services on ubuntu | 00:20 |

haywire | Who might like to try helping me with printing to a shared printer on a windoze (Vista) machine? | 01:46 |
pedro3005 | haywire, the printer is connected to windows? | 01:47 |
haywire | yes. | 01:47 |
haywire | I tried Samba in xubuntu 9.10, and | 01:48 |
haywire | it found the printer, (by name) but when I attempt to print to it from xubuntu, everything gets hung in the print spooler on the host machine. | 01:48 |
Shadowmancer21 | hey all | 03:07 |
Shadowmancer21 | need some help reinstalling grub | 03:07 |
Shadowmancer21 | I followed this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows though the issues is because ubuntu is installed on a partition | 03:08 |
Shadowmancer21 | it doesn't like me trying to reinstall ubuntu | 03:08 |
Shadowmancer21 | hmmm ... and i think i just realized the issue >.< | 03:09 |
Shadowmancer | alright | 03:22 |
Shadowmancer | so i'm back | 03:22 |
Shadowmancer | and i was wrong :( | 03:22 |
pedro3005 | Shadowmancer, what's up? | 03:23 |
Shadowmancer | oh | 03:23 |
Shadowmancer | sorry | 03:23 |
Shadowmancer | i just recently had to do a fresh install of win 7 | 03:23 |
Shadowmancer | as per expected mbr was overwritten | 03:23 |
Shadowmancer | so i had to reinstall grub | 03:23 |
pedro3005 | ok | 03:23 |
pedro3005 | and? | 03:23 |
Shadowmancer | catch can only do it from command line (ubuntu live cd can't run my video card for some reason and i don't know the edits to xorg.conf to get it to work) | 03:24 |
Shadowmancer | so no real problem with that | 03:24 |
Shadowmancer | so i found this on the ubuntu help thing https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows and tried to follow it | 03:24 |
Shadowmancer | i'm using 9.10 | 03:24 |
Shadowmancer | so i'm using grub 2 | 03:24 |
Shadowmancer | hopefully | 03:24 |
Shadowmancer | anyways | 03:24 |
Shadowmancer | so i followed the instructions and it complained a) it couldn't find a core.img file and b) its a partition not a hdd | 03:25 |
Shadowmancer21 | sorry | 03:26 |
Shadowmancer21 | lost connection | 03:26 |
Shadowmancer21 | so yeah thats my issue | 03:26 |
Shadowmancer21 | i can't figure out where the files are meant to be | 03:26 |
Shadowmancer21 | i've tried auto supergrub disk | 03:26 |
Shadowmancer21 | that doesn't work | 03:26 |
Shadowmancer21 | and i'm out of ideas since i don't know much about how to set up grub | 03:26 |
Shadowmancer21 | hmmm any clues? | 03:28 |
=== Shadowmancer21 is now known as Shadowmancer | ||
Shadowmancer | hmmm | 03:30 |
pedro3005 | Shadowmancer, oh sorry | 03:31 |
Shadowmancer | its alright | 03:32 |
Shadowmancer | i am just out of ideas | 03:32 |
Shadowmancer | i don't want to go grub-install /dev/sda1 | 03:32 |
Shadowmancer | because i don't know if it'll map ubuntu and everything properly | 03:33 |
Shadowmancer | i don't know the default behaviour | 03:33 |
Shadowmancer | i followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows but it doesn't mention what to do in the case of ubuntu being on a partition | 03:33 |
pedro3005 | Shadowmancer, what exactly did you try? | 03:34 |
Shadowmancer | mounted my ubuntu os | 03:34 |
Shadowmancer | then did | 03:34 |
Shadowmancer | sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/ubuntu /dev/sdb5 | 03:35 |
Shadowmancer | i had to create ubuntu since i only have access to terminal | 03:35 |
Shadowmancer | and sdb5 is the petition of my ubuntu partition | 03:35 |
krhahn | I am having a hard time installing the driver for a broadcom wireless card. I have looked at a lot of different how-tos with no luck. Any advice? | 03:36 |
Shadowmancer | most broadcom cards i've found auto detect and it offers to get the restricted drivers | 03:37 |
Shadowmancer | doesn't it do that for you? | 03:37 |
krhahn | no | 03:37 |
pedro3005 | Shadowmancer, I think /media/ubuntu should be equal to /dev/sdb5/boot and not the root directory | 03:38 |
pedro3005 | fix that | 03:38 |
Shadowmancer | how do you mean? | 03:38 |
Shadowmancer | do you mean i should go | 03:38 |
pedro3005 | Shadowmancer, how did you mount /media/ubuntu? | 03:38 |
krhahn | when I go to sys>admin>hrdwr drvr i get a message that says the driver could not be installed | 03:39 |
Shadowmancer | sudo mount /dev/sdb5 /media/ubuntu | 03:39 |
pedro3005 | krhahn, which device is it? | 03:39 |
pedro3005 | Shadowmancer, do this: | 03:39 |
pedro3005 | sudo umount /media/ubuntu | 03:39 |
pedro3005 | sudo mount /dev/sdb5/boot /media/ubuntu | 03:39 |
pedro3005 | sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/ubuntu /dev/sdb5 | 03:39 |
krhahn | sudo unmount get a command not found | 03:40 |
pedro3005 | krhahn, it's "umount" and it wasn't directed at you :p | 03:41 |
krhahn | oh | 03:41 |
krhahn | okay | 03:41 |
pedro3005 | I asked which device you are trying to install | 03:41 |
Shadowmancer | lol it can't find core.img | 03:42 |
Shadowmancer | thats another error message i mentioned further up | 03:42 |
krhahn | sorry... device is BCM4311 802.11b/g | 03:42 |
pedro3005 | Shadowmancer, my bad | 03:44 |
pedro3005 | let's try this | 03:44 |
pedro3005 | sudo umount /media/ubuntu | 03:44 |
pedro3005 | sudo mount /dev/sdb5/boot/grub /media/ubuntu | 03:44 |
pedro3005 | sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/ubuntu /dev/sdb5 | 03:44 |
Shadowmancer | core.img isn't in there, i checked | 03:45 |
Shadowmancer | :P | 03:45 |
pedro3005 | it is here o.O | 03:46 |
Shadowmancer | yeah i am confused as well | 03:46 |
Shadowmancer | i got a ton of .mod files in there | 03:48 |
pedro3005 | me too | 03:48 |
Shadowmancer | i can't check right now but its from memory | 03:48 |
Shadowmancer | i was looking for core.img since if thats all grub was crying about i would give baby its bottle | 03:48 |
pedro3005 | Shadowmancer, try | 03:50 |
pedro3005 | ls /dev/sdb5/boot/grub | grep img | 03:50 |
Shadowmancer | wouldn't ls *.img do the same thing? | 03:51 |
jfoozie420 | lol, i realize when im using firewire, windows has a super huge lag on it | 03:51 |
jfoozie420 | when i transfered a 5 gig file from one drive to the next it works like a dream on ubuntu | 03:51 |
pedro3005 | Shadowmancer, well, yeah, but I fail :/ | 03:51 |
Shadowmancer | yeah didn't find it when i tried that :P | 03:52 |
krhahn | pedro3005, not sure if you saw this... Not trying to be a pain but thought i would re-send | 03:53 |
krhahn | device is BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN | 03:53 |
pedro3005 | krhahn, oh sorry; i'll look | 03:53 |
pedro3005 | krhahn, your device is supported. try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 03:55 |
krhahn | thanks... I'll take a look | 03:56 |
krhahn | pedro3005, i don't know if this matters but when I run sudo apt-get update i get a few error when loading the headers | 04:09 |
krhahn | Also, | 04:09 |
krhahn | I ran through the steps on this link and still not able to actuvate the sta driver | 04:10 |
pedro3005 | krhahn, what errors? | 04:10 |
krhahn | there are some that reference not being able to access the cd... that makes sense because there is no cd in the drive | 04:11 |
krhahn | but | 04:11 |
krhahn | the first error is | 04:12 |
krhahn | W: GPG error :http://ppa.launchpad.net karmic release: the following signatures could not be verified becuase the public key is not available. | 04:13 |
pedro3005 | krhahn, what exactly did you do? | 04:14 |
krhahn | lol... I did the following | 04:14 |
krhahn | sudo apt-get update | 04:15 |
krhahn | sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source | 04:15 |
krhahn | then tried to activate the sta driver in the sys>adm> hrdwr drvr | 04:16 |

pedro3005 | krhahn, put a # at the beginning of the line | 04:27 |
krhahn | thanks... just the first line? do i have to break the comment anywhere? | 04:28 |
robbmunson | krhahn, no, just put a # | 04:31 |
krhahn | it won't let me save changes to the file when I open with gedit | 04:32 |
robbmunson | # is a single line comment, commonly used in programming, and understood by many programs as such... | 04:32 |
robbmunson | krhahn, gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:32 |
robbmunson | then try again :) | 04:32 |
robbmunson | ^ this should be run in a terminal | 04:32 |
robbmunson | !terminal | 04:32 |

robbmunson | be back in a few...pedro if you wanna slide back in be my guest, im bouncing back and forth. | 04:33 |
krhahn | I can't get the sources.file to open with administrative privileges. Is there something I am missing? I have typed: gksudo /etc/apt/sources.list in terminal and it runs for a couple of seconds then... nothing | 04:47 |
pedro3005 | krhahn, it's gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:48 |
pedro3005 | don't forget the gedit | 04:48 |
krhahn | oh... that wan't in the message originally... thanks | 04:48 |

robbmunson | krhahn, probably not but it would not hurt. | 05:13 |
pedro3005 | well, if it is WIFI, perhaps | 05:13 |
pedro3005 | "Note: A computer restart may be required before using the wifi card. " | 05:14 |
krhahn1 | okay... let me try that | 05:14 |
robbmunson | The veteran still knows a thing or two? | 05:17 |

krhahn1 | I re-booted and I still can not get the drivers to install | 05:17 |
pedro3005 | krhahn, means you can't find it at the hardware drivers? | 05:18 |

pedro3005 | krhahn, what's the output of iwconfig? | 05:33 |
robbmunson | "no wireless extensions." means we have some minor issues...just a little hint.... | 05:34 |
krhahn1 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/416460/ yes... no wireless extensions | 05:34 |

krhahn1 | Is there a log I can refer someone too? | 05:52 |

aagb | yep, definetly, thats where i am | 08:16 |
C-Ray | yeah am checking those now in forums | 08:17 |
aagb | so i know the SSID thats easy | 08:17 |
C-Ray | I started with the format thing | 08:17 |
C-Ray | yeah aagb | 08:17 |
C-Ray | good | 08:17 |
hobgoblin | C-Ray: also - Tools - Options - Language Settings - Writing Aids | 08:18 |
C-Ray | so go to the wireless tab | 08:18 |
aagb | done. | 08:18 |
C-Ray | well I am there but I can't change anything with it | 08:18 |
aagb | mode=ad hoc? | 08:18 |
C-Ray | it says ignore all | 08:18 |
C-Ray | while am not able to remove the tick | 08:18 |
C-Ray | yeach click add aagb | 08:19 |
C-Ray | well for the mode it depends | 08:19 |
C-Ray | what do you have? | 08:19 |
aagb | wireless ADSL thru a LAN | 08:20 |
C-Ray | leave it as it is then, go for the rest of the settings and give it a shoot | 08:20 |
C-Ray | don't place sicurity first | 08:21 |
aagb | ? | 08:21 |
C-Ray | try it without security | 08:21 |
aagb | how do i get the BSSID ? | 08:21 |
C-Ray | I mean leave it to default | 08:21 |
aagb | yeh, i leaving on default now | 08:21 |
C-Ray | bssid leave it empty at the moment | 08:22 |
aagb | so just enter the SSID and try connect like that, it will search for connection? | 08:22 |
C-Ray | am not sure, but try | 08:23 |
C-Ray | am not an expert here, just an end-user | 08:23 |
aagb | how do i connect then? | 08:23 |
C-Ray | when you add the connection | 08:23 |
C-Ray | you must see the connection name on the wireless tab where you have the option to connect | 08:24 |
aagb | ill bb, let me have a bit of a digg. no i dont see sh1t | 08:24 |
aagb | ... | 08:24 |
C-Ray | ok | 08:24 |
aagb | thats what im asking. thats why i came here because i cannot connect | 08:24 |
aagb | i am on a different pc | 08:24 |
C-Ray | of course you are on a different pc | 08:25 |
C-Ray | otherwise you won't be here | 08:25 |

C-Ray | :D | 08:25 |
C-Ray | ask some people here | 08:26 |
C-Ray | they can provide you with much help than me | 08:26 |
C-Ray | :( | 08:26 |
aagb | i am not sure what u mean above, re connection name on wireless tab. i could add the connection profile (apply) but i cannot find a way for it to search by SSID | 08:26 |
aagb | doesnt matter | 08:26 |
aagb | thanx for tryin anyway :) | 08:26 |
aagb | ill just keepin diggin | 08:26 |

C-Ray | I don't know what to check else | 08:43 |
C-Ray | :( | 08:43 |
hobgoblin | mmm - possibly it is the character setup then - not sure tbh - though what I will say is that when I have had issues with openoffice I have used their forums - they are excellent | 08:47 |
C-Ray | am using the forums now | 08:47 |
C-Ray | hope I will be able to dig something out | 08:47 |
hobgoblin | openoffice ones? | 08:47 |
C-Ray | yeah | 08:47 |
C-Ray | thanks for your help anyway :) | 08:48 |
hobgoblin | :) | 08:48 |

LzrdKing | ext3 or ext4 (or something else) for karmic? how about lucid? | 16:24 |
geirha | LzrdKing: Yes and yes. | 16:36 |
LzrdKing | swapfile or swap partition? | 16:40 |
ikt | swapfile | 16:43 |
ikt | swap partition | 16:43 |
ikt | aren't they both the same thing? | 16:43 |
LzrdKing | no, one is a separate partition, the other is a file on an existing partition | 16:43 |
ikt | http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/7/7/326 | 16:44 |
ikt | In 2.6 they have the same reliability and they will have the same performance unless the swapfile is badly fragmented. | 16:45 |
ikt | though I have a swap partition I don't think I've seen it ever used | 16:45 |
ikt | advantage of having 4gb of ram | 16:46 |
LzrdKing | i only have 2gb | 16:46 |
ikt | that's alright | 16:47 |
LzrdKing | ok, forget about a swapfile, i have an 80GB harddrive, i'm going to just use a 2gb swap partition, and if it's wasted space, so be it! | 16:47 |
ikt | that's my philosophy | 16:48 |
LzrdKing | can lucid and karmic share a /home, and/or other directories? | 16:50 |
LzrdKing | i mean, is it a good idea | 16:50 |
paultag | LzrdKing, :) | 16:54 |
paultag | LzrdKing, kinda sort almost | 16:54 |
paultag | LzrdKing, I did that for a while but there are some issues with that | 16:54 |
paultag | LzrdKing, if you can match every package down to the version on each of the installs then yes, but if you do that then they are the same | 16:54 |
paultag | LzrdKing, because home is where all your files are. What you can do is this: | 16:55 |
paultag | LzrdKing, partition the drive out, get a solid 10 gigs or so off the main install, and set it up to mount on /Share or something, then ln -s the /Share folder to ~/Share | 16:55 |
paultag | LzrdKing, then you can save stuff in ~/Share and it will be shared between all your installs. If you use Windows, it would make sense to use vfat for Share, otherwise something like ext3 / 4 will do really well | 16:56 |
LzrdKing | here's what i'm going to do: my 75GB XP partion will be shrank to 20GB for WinXP, then 26GB for karmic, 26GB for lucid, and 2GB swap :) | 16:56 |
LzrdKing | and lucid and karmic will be totally separate | 16:56 |
LzrdKing | sound good? | 16:56 |
Jon_Monreal | LzrdKing, you might want to consider smaller individual partitions and a common FAT32 or NTFS partition for files. | 16:57 |
LzrdKing | ok, 20gb for xp, 10 for lucid, 10 for karmic, 2 for swap and the rest unallocated | 17:00 |
LzrdKing | and swap goes at the end of the drive | 17:02 |
LzrdKing | its all done, time to reboot into XP and see what damage was done there :) | 17:05 |
CtrlAlt | isn't it possible to share the /home folder? maybe by making a partition for all the files, setting it up to mount automatically, and then just linking all the folders manually, one by one? | 17:09 |
LzrdKing | was it a bad idea to point unetbootin to an iso on a samba server? | 17:20 |
ikt | don't think so why? | 17:23 |
LzrdKing | its going really slow | 17:24 |
ikt | did that with mine as well | 17:27 |
ikt | and it was on the same drive as win7 + ssd drive | 17:27 |
LzrdKing | weird, the router is seeing a transfer going to the client at 3MBps, but the server is only seeing it sending at 1MBps | 17:29 |
LzrdKing | umm, is it pulling every package out of the iso? | 17:35 |
Jon_Monreal | Well that really isn't too bad, now is it? | 17:35 |
LzrdKing | Jon_Monreal: 8 would be better | 17:35 |
Jon_Monreal | LzrdKing, yeah it would be better, but if you burn your CDs at lowest possible speed, I don't imagine it's much slower | 17:36 |
Jon_Monreal | LzrdKig, have you noticed the problem before, or just with unetbootin? | 17:38 |
=== ShadowChild is now known as lukjad86 | ||
LzrdKing | i only use the computer to stream video from my server, and sometimes that will get a little slow for a moment, but lately my tivo has been pausing a lot streaming from the same server, so i think it's my router | 17:39 |
=== running_rabbit07 is now known as uRock | ||
man0riaX | Hey | 18:24 |
ikt | heya man0riaX | 18:28 |
man0riaX | :) | 18:28 |
LzrdKing | when i install unetbootin, it doesn't edit my boot.ini in windows so it can't boot the ubuntu installer. What do i need to add to boot.ini so it will? | 19:02 |
LzrdKing | nevermind, i found it :) | 19:04 |
LzrdKing | grrr! unetbootin can't find my "cdrom" drive but the install files are on /dev/sda1 and i can't mount it! | 19:11 |
LzrdKing | i get "mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt failed: invalid argument (i'm mounting with "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt" | 19:14 |
Jon_Monreal | What exactly are you trying to do? Point unetbootin to the CD drive? | 19:17 |
LzrdKing | yeah | 19:17 |
Jon_Monreal | (Instead of an ISO)? | 19:17 |
LzrdKing | if possible | 19:17 |
LzrdKing | i probably should have had untebootin download an image instead of using the one i already downloaded | 19:18 |
Jon_Monreal | I've never heard of that being done and I don't believe it's supported. Why don't you make an ISO from the CD and then use the ISO with unetbootin. | 19:18 |
LzrdKing | well, i have an iso but its stuck on sda1 | 19:18 |
LzrdKing | and it'll still look for a cd, which i don't currently have | 19:19 |
LzrdKing | i'll just burn my iso to a dvd | 19:20 |
LzrdKing | which i wanted to avoid having to do | 19:20 |
Jon_Monreal | So your problem is that you can't mount /dev/sda1 ? | 19:20 |
LzrdKing | yeah | 19:20 |
LzrdKing | and if i used mount -t ntfs it told me "device not found" | 19:21 |
Jon_Monreal | Oh it's NTFS | 19:21 |
LzrdKing | yeah, but sda2 and sda3 are not and it found't mount them either | 19:21 |
LzrdKing | couldn't | 19:21 |
LzrdKing | they should be ext3 | 19:21 |
LzrdKing | i just booted back into windows to burn a disc | 19:22 |
Jon_Monreal | I'm sorry, I wasn't here when you started first came here. What is your setup? As in, what OS are you using now, and where is it located? | 19:23 |
LzrdKing | xp on sda1, ubuntu will go on sda2 | 19:24 |
Jon_Monreal | Are you currently using a LiveCD then, or Linux on another partition? | 19:25 |
LzrdKing | unetbootin | 19:25 |
LzrdKing | well, i will be using the 9.10-server cd in a moment | 19:25 |
Jon_Monreal | So you're currently using a unetbootin LiveUSB installation and trying to create another LiveUSB? You could always boot into Windows if that's where the ISO you want to make into a LiveUSB is and use unetbootin for Windows. | 19:27 |
LzrdKing | i wanted to install from my xp partition to a new blank partition, it seemed to allow this but maybe it doesn't | 19:28 |
LzrdKing | i'll just boot with the disc and install from there | 19:29 |
Jon_Monreal | I see. I've never tried this, but I think it would work. However, unetbootin doesn't create a persistent installation, so every time you reboot it would stop. Also, as far as I'm aware, you can only use LiveCD ISOs with unetbootin, so a server or minimal install CD wouldn't work. | 19:30 |
LzrdKing | what is ubuntu enterprise cloud? | 19:31 |
LzrdKing | :( installer can't find my wireless nic | 19:33 |
Jon_Monreal | That would be Ubuntu Server with packages on top of it so that you can deploy a cloud (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_computing) | 19:34 |
Jon_Monreal | Are you using the server ISO, the minimal install, or the LiveCD? | 19:34 |
LzrdKing | server iso | 19:35 |
Jon_Monreal | Then it makes sense that unetbootin didn't work | 19:36 |
LzrdKing | yes, now it does | 19:37 |
Jon_Monreal | Could you type "lspci | grep -i "network\|ethernet" minus the quotes and post the output here? | 19:37 |
Jon_Monreal | Sorry, minus the first quote | 19:38 |
Jon_Monreal | Include the quotes around "network\|ethernet" | 19:38 |
Jon_Monreal | lspci | grep -i "network\|ethernet" | 19:39 |
LzrdKing | i can't paste but it does show the intel ABG wireless card and the broadcom gigabit wired card | 19:39 |
Jon_Monreal | You could try apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-YOURKERNEL-server, replacing YOURKERNEL with your full kernel version, for example 2.X.XX-XX | 19:42 |
Jon_Monreal | Actually just do: apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`-server | 19:43 |
Jon_Monreal | That should automatically put your kernel version in | 19:44 |
LzrdKing | i will do that after it's done installing, thanks :) | 19:46 |
LzrdKing | as i have no apt-get yet | 19:47 |
Jon_Monreal | Yeah | 19:47 |
Jon_Monreal | Well yeah, you'll have to install first | 19:47 |
LzrdKing | what is ubuntu enterprise cloud? | 19:48 |
LzrdKing | no package of that name | 19:53 |
Jon_Monreal | If you want Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud you should select it when installing | 19:53 |
Jon_Monreal | http://www.ubuntu.com/files/masthead/910/cloud/cloud_private_2.png | 19:54 |
Jon_Monreal | See http://www.ubuntu.com/cloud/private | 19:54 |
frank1 | jon: are you familiar with installing /home on a second hard drive? | 19:54 |
LzrdKing | ok, i mean no package named linux-restricted-modules-MYKERNEL-server | 19:55 |
Jon_Monreal | frank1: Yeah, how can I help? | 19:55 |
frank1 | well someone in here was helping me thursday night and since than my comp is all kinds of messed up | 19:56 |
Jon_Monreal | LzrdKing: No, there won't be a package with MYKERNEL in it. You had to replace MYKERNEL with your kernel version. Use this instead: apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`-server | 19:56 |
LzrdKing | i did, i just didn't want to type all that | 19:57 |
Jon_Monreal | frank1: Do you know what the location of the second hard drive's partition is | 19:57 |
frank1 | i have a 250gb hd that is totally full. i just bought a 1tb hd as an addition. i wanted to move all my media onto the new 1tb hd and keep the 250hd running only ubuntu and its required programs | 19:57 |
Jon_Monreal | LzrdKing: try the other command I sent you. Note that you might need an internet connection in order to get it. | 19:58 |
LzrdKing | Jon_Monreal: well how would that work? i need an internet connection to install the drivers i need for an internet connection.... | 19:58 |
Jon_Monreal | LzrdKing: Ethernet? | 19:58 |
frank1 | swoody helped me to transfer my home over onto the new 1tb hd. i went to sleep while it transfered. when i got up i was unable to delete the first /home because of lag and was forced to reboot. now i cant get the computer to load ununtu. im running on a live cd now just so that i can get some help | 19:59 |
Jon_Monreal | frank1: Is Grub still working? That is, do you see this screen: http://thegabfather.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/grub4kt.jpg or does it say anything past the initial BIOS screen? | 20:00 |
zch3 | Can anyone assist me in the installation of Tor in a whisper? | 20:01 |
zch3 | I have followed the instructions on Tor's website but I've run in to some issues. | 20:01 |
frank1 | i dont see that screen but it does let me try and login under my username. thats when i get three error messages | 20:02 |
Jon_Monreal | frank1: Can you post them here? | 20:02 |
frank1 | sure | 20:02 |
Jon_Monreal | LzrdKing: Wait, did you try connecting to a network? | 20:02 |
frank1 | first: could not update ICE authority file /home/beans/.ICE authority | 20:02 |
Jon_Monreal | zch3: What kind of issues are you running into? | 20:03 |
zch3 | Just a second | 20:03 |
zch3 | I'll post the error | 20:03 |
frank1 | second: there is a problem with th congiguration server (/urs/lib/libconf2-4/gconf-sanity-check-2 exited with status 256) | 20:03 |
zch3 | After issuing the command 'sudo apt-get install tor-tor geoipdb' per the Tor websites instructions I get this | 20:04 |
zch3 | Reading package lists... Done | 20:04 |
zch3 | Building dependency tree | 20:04 |
zch3 | Reading state information... Done | 20:04 |
zch3 | Package tor is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 20:04 |
zch3 | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 20:04 |
zch3 | is only available from another source | 20:04 |
zch3 | E: Package tor has no installation candidate | 20:04 |
zch3 | Tor's website has no explination though | 20:04 |
frank1 | third: nautilis could not create the following required folders: /home/beans/desktop, /home/beand/.nautilis..................befor running nautilis please create these folders | 20:04 |
frank1 | than a window pops up with inclomplete language support and the screen turns yellow | 20:05 |
LzrdKing | `yay! its online | 20:05 |
frank1 | this is the walk through he was trying to help me with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving. i was unable to do "a sneaky maneuver" it said that no such place existed. | 20:09 |
frank1 | i figured i could pick up at that point after i restarted but no such luck | 20:09 |
Jon_Monreal | frank1: So you still have your old home as old_home? | 20:13 |
LzrdKing | 6how do i nstall a local .deb? | 20:13 |
frank1 | Jon_Monreal: im not sure. how do i check that. im on a live cd now and i have a home folder on both drives.....or so it appears | 20:14 |
Jon_Monreal | frank1: You have a /home on both drives? Give me a minute and we'll switch you back to the old one for now just to make sure everything works still. | 20:15 |
frank1 | Jon_Monreal: yea on the 250bg drive i have a folder named old home which has all mu media | 20:15 |
Jon_Monreal | LzrdKing: Simply cd into the directory where the deb is and then type: dpkg -i yourfile.deb | 20:16 |
Jon_Monreal | LzrdKing: replace yourfile with the filename | 20:16 |
LzrdKing | i need the deps for it though | 20:16 |
Jon_Monreal | Aren't you connected to the Internet? | 20:18 |
Jon_Monreal | frank1: Sorry if this is taking a while. | 20:21 |
frank1 | Jon_Monreal: thats ok. i thought maybe i was just laggy | 20:22 |
Jon_Monreal | zch3: Make sure you have the filename right | 20:24 |
Jon_Monreal | frank1: I have to run, but what you could try to do would be to boot into a repair console in Ubuntu and do the reverse of what you did before. | 20:26 |
frank1 | if i had any clue as to what i did before i might try that | 20:26 |
Jon_Monreal | So, to anyone who might come into this chat to help: frank1 is having problems with no home directory being found because it was changed to a partition on another drive, LzrdKing needs help with installing packages offline, and zch3 needs help installing Tor | 20:27 |
Jon_Monreal | Sorry guys, but I really have to run | 20:27 |
frank1 | thanks anyways , maybe later | 20:27 |
Jon_Monreal | Yeah, I'll be back later | 20:27 |
Jon_Monreal | Bye | 20:27 |

malev | hi there!! where can I check the version of the program of a current release of ubuntu. for exaple, what version was gwibber in the alpha 1 of lucid version? | 20:55 |

LzrdKing | i need help getting sound through external speakers on my dell d620. it just comes out the pc speaker | 23:23 |
LzrdKing | and in alsamixer, iec958 and iec958D are stuck at 00 | 23:23 |
Trippi | ah, talking to someone else, ok | 23:23 |
Trippi | got any idea how you make the bootable flash? it says the card needs to be set up to be bootable, but it doesn't give a good idea how to go about doing that to the card | 23:25 |
LzrdKing | no, the channel | 23:25 |
LzrdKing | it should happen as part of the usb install | 23:25 |
Trippi | oh i see, in the manual on how to do it on there site it doesn't tell you or show you to click two different icons, just one of them | 23:26 |
Trippi | click both and there you go, that was annoying | 23:26 |
Trippi | thx | 23:26 |
LzrdKing | seems to be a kernel issue | 23:28 |

LzrdKing | i had to mute Master | 23:32 |
