reaperofpoverty | hi | 00:30 |
---|---|---|
reaperofpoverty | can anyone help me install ubuntu? i'm having issues with it | 00:30 |
reaperofpoverty | i'm installing ubuntu 10.10 my windows xp sp2 computer (would like to make ubuntu the only os) | 00:31 |
reaperofpoverty | i have less than half a mb of ram, don't know if that's relevant | 00:31 |
reaperofpoverty | I tried to USB boot but none of the options in my boot config menu worked, so i tried the cd | 00:32 |
reaperofpoverty | that stuck at the screen with five dots for an hour before i shut it off - tried it again and same thing | 00:32 |
reaperofpoverty | now i'm trying the alternate CD and it's not able to autoconfigure my dhcp. i have no idea what that means | 00:32 |
mbergamo | phillw: I got it to work! FINALLY! | 00:34 |
Cheri703 | reaperofpoverty: what exactly is the message saying? | 00:36 |
Cheri703 | also, it sounds like it's an older computer, yes? | 00:36 |
reaperofpoverty | yes, that's correct | 00:36 |
reaperofpoverty | pentium 4 from 2002 | 00:36 |
reaperofpoverty | one moment, duplicating the error | 00:36 |
Cheri703 | ok, when you use the normal cd, did you see the screen where at the bottom it shows a keyboard and a circle with a guy in it? | 00:37 |
reaperofpoverty | yes, i did | 00:37 |
reaperofpoverty | after that it went to the screen with the five patterning dots | 00:37 |
reaperofpoverty | that's where it hung | 00:37 |
reaperofpoverty | i'm on the alternate cd now, and i have the error | 00:37 |
Cheri703 | ok, are you wanting a live session at all or just to go ahead and install? | 00:37 |
Cheri703 | ok what is the error? | 00:37 |
reaperofpoverty | Network autoconfiguration failed. Your network is probably not using the DHCP protocol. Alternatively, the DHCP server may be slow or some network hardware is not working properly | 00:38 |
reaperofpoverty | i would rather just go ahead and install | 00:38 |
Cheri703 | ok, what options do you have on the dhcp error? | 00:38 |
reaperofpoverty | options it gives me: retry network autoconfiguration, retray network autoconfiguration with a DHCP hostname, configure network manually, or do not configure the network at this time | 00:38 |
Cheri703 | if you choose either of the last two you should be ok, do you know what your network info is? | 00:39 |
reaperofpoverty | no | 00:39 |
Cheri703 | OR you could try something with the normal cd real quick | 00:39 |
Cheri703 | ok | 00:39 |
reaperofpoverty | sure | 00:39 |
reaperofpoverty | want me to pop in the normal cd again? | 00:39 |
Cheri703 | yeah | 00:39 |
reaperofpoverty | k, one sec | 00:39 |
Cheri703 | and when you get to the screen with that keyboard, hit enter or something on the keyboard | 00:39 |
reaperofpoverty | okay | 00:40 |
Cheri703 | and let me know what happens | 00:40 |
reaperofpoverty | okay | 00:41 |
reaperofpoverty | popped up a screen asking me to select my language | 00:41 |
reaperofpoverty | and function keys mapped to help, language, keymap, modes, accessibility, other options | 00:41 |
Cheri703 | ok, do that, then you should have a "try / install / other stuff" | 00:41 |
reaperofpoverty | yeah | 00:41 |
Cheri703 | choose install | 00:41 |
Cheri703 | and see what happens | 00:41 |
reaperofpoverty | try without installing, install, check for defects, test memory, boot from first hard disk | 00:42 |
reaperofpoverty | k | 00:42 |
reaperofpoverty | now at a black screen with a flashing cursor in the top left | 00:42 |
reaperofpoverty | i can hear the disk spinning in the drive | 00:42 |
Cheri703 | if it tries to go straight to live session (which I think some of these have been doing lately), your ram might not be sufficient, so it might bog down | 00:42 |
Cheri703 | ok, give it a few minutes, we'll see | 00:42 |
Cheri703 | also: get more RAM! :) | 00:43 |
reaperofpoverty | yeah, i know. ={ | 00:43 |
Cheri703 | newegg.com has good prices if you're in the US | 00:44 |
reaperofpoverty | oh hey | 00:44 |
Cheri703 | ? | 00:44 |
reaperofpoverty | popped up to the purple screen with a cursor | 00:44 |
reaperofpoverty | the normal ubuntu background, i mean | 00:44 |
Cheri703 | ok | 00:44 |
Cheri703 | is this further than you had gotten previously? | 00:44 |
aluex | help needed | 00:44 |
reaperofpoverty | cursor moves, the top bar (status bar? whatever that is) is loading | 00:44 |
reaperofpoverty | yes | 00:44 |
Cheri703 | ok, awesome | 00:44 |
aluex | GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times | 00:44 |
reaperofpoverty | previously it hung at the dots | 00:44 |
reaperofpoverty | this is my second time installing 10.10 and my third installing ubuntu | 00:45 |
reaperofpoverty | i will probably be able to take it from here | 00:45 |
reaperofpoverty | i'll tell you if i have any other problems | 00:45 |
Cheri703 | ok, great! | 00:45 |
Cheri703 | have fun :) | 00:45 |
reaperofpoverty | thank you so much! | 00:45 |
reaperofpoverty | m'wah | 00:45 |
Cheri703 | sure, I ran into that with mine before | 00:45 |
aluex | when i try to start firefox and got this | 00:45 |
aluex | anyone,please | 00:46 |
aveilleux | what, aleux? | 00:47 |
aluex | when i try to start firefox i got this: | 00:47 |
aluex | GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times | 00:48 |
aveilleux | Oh, | 00:48 |
aluex | and then nothing appear | 00:48 |
aveilleux | aleux: In Terminal run rm -r ~/.mozilla | 00:48 |
aluex | oh | 00:48 |
aluex | not solved | 00:51 |
aveilleux | Hm | 00:51 |

trhisdone | what is a good backup program | 01:03 |
aluex | thx,it's solved | 01:06 |
aveilleux | trhisdone: rsync | 01:06 |
Cheri703 | aveilleux: someone in my LoCo room was just talking about rsync :) | 01:06 |
aluex | but fx still doesn't appear either | 01:08 |
reaperofpoverty | hey | 01:09 |
reaperofpoverty | Cheri703: you still here? | 01:09 |
Cheri703 | yep | 01:09 |
reaperofpoverty | spoke too soon, i guess | 01:09 |
aluex | this time it appears nothing and quit quickly | 01:09 |
reaperofpoverty | it went through a few more dialog boxes of options, and after the one about partitioning (where I instructed it to make it all one partition), it's been at the desktop screen with the cursor and no dialog box | 01:10 |
aluex | whitout output | 01:10 |
reaperofpoverty | that's been for twenty minutes or so | 01:10 |
Cheri703 | hmm...ok, did you get a confirmation about the partitioning? like to go ahead and do it? | 01:10 |
Cheri703 | also were there multiple partitions before? and how big is the hdd? | 01:11 |
reaperofpoverty | i didn't receive any confirmation that it was doing it, but I did tell it to do it - not sure what you're asking. it had the c:/ drive and a 4-5 gb backup drive, i think those were separate partitions. The HDD is 60gb, i think | 01:12 |
reaperofpoverty | hmm | 01:12 |
reaperofpoverty | mouse no longer moves cursor | 01:12 |
Cheri703 | well, there is a page where it has multiple options, then after that a page to confirm that you want to dedicate the whole hdd, did you get the confirmation page? | 01:13 |
reaperofpoverty | hmmm | 01:13 |
reaperofpoverty | not sure | 01:13 |
Cheri703 | *at least I do, but I sometimes do wonky partitioning, so maybe not for yours | 01:13 |
reaperofpoverty | i don't remember it, but i may have | 01:13 |
reaperofpoverty | so yeah, it appears to have totally locked up | 01:13 |
Cheri703 | :( sorry | 01:13 |
reaperofpoverty | ctrl+alt+f1 does nothing | 01:13 |
reaperofpoverty | cursor doesn't move | 01:13 |
reaperofpoverty | should i restart with normal disk or alterntate? | 01:14 |
Cheri703 | it's the ram again I'd bet...just having trouble handling it | 01:14 |
Cheri703 | uhm, try alternate? and I can help you get through the dhcp error | 01:14 |
Cheri703 | just was thinking it'd be easier to do normal if possible | 01:14 |
reaperofpoverty | i have some extra ram, it should be fine, but the motherboard isn't configured to accept it. we're not sure if the stick of ram works, but yeah. i can add more ram, but not until i get this installed. =\ | 01:15 |
reaperofpoverty | booting from alt now | 01:15 |
aluex | help..my fx is broken | 01:15 |
Cheri703 | :( ok | 01:15 |
Cheri703 | aluex: unfortunately that is outside of my range of knowledge | 01:16 |
aluex | sorry.. | 01:16 |
aluex | this time it quit quickly without output | 01:17 |
reaperofpoverty | alright, i'm at a screen similar to last time: install ubuntu, check disk for defects, test memory, boot from first hard disk, rescue a broken system. mapped to the function keys are help, language, keymap, modes, accessibility, other options | 01:17 |
Cheri703 | ok, install | 01:17 |
reaperofpoverty | went through language/keymap config, it's now scanning cd-rom | 01:18 |
reaperofpoverty | now loading additional components | 01:18 |
UndiFineD | aluex, can you start firefox in safe-mode ? | 01:18 |
Cheri703 | ok | 01:18 |
aluex | maybe arm platform has sth to do with the problem | 01:18 |
reaperofpoverty | now detecting network hardware. now configuring the network | 01:18 |
UndiFineD | firefox %u -- safe-mode | 01:19 |
UndiFineD | firefox %u --safe-mode | 01:19 |
reaperofpoverty | okay. it's' configuring the network, it's asking for the hostname. that's whatever I want, right? | 01:19 |
Cheri703 | yeah | 01:19 |
aluex | UndiFineD, nothing appear | 01:20 |
reaperofpoverty | huh. it appears to be working this time. skipped right through. idk what the problem was las ttime | 01:20 |
aluex | without output | 01:20 |
aluex | i m on arm platform | 01:20 |
* UndiFineD goes searching for GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() | 01:20 | |

reaperofpoverty | checked additional components, started up the partitioner (scanned disks) | 01:21 |
reaperofpoverty | okay, now i'm at some options for partitioning method | 01:21 |
Cheri703 | ok | 01:21 |
aluex | Cheri703, that is solved | 01:21 |
Cheri703 | k, sorry | 01:22 |
aluex | i forced the version as the comment said | 01:22 |
aluex | : ) | 01:22 |
reaperofpoverty | options: guided - resize SCSI1 (0,0,0), partition #5 (sda) and use freed space OR guided - use entire partition, SCSI1 (0,0,0) partition #5 (sda) OR guided - use entire disk OR guided - use entire disk and set up LVM OR guided - use entire disk and set up encrypted LVM OR manual | 01:22 |
reaperofpoverty | do i want guided - use entire disk? | 01:22 |
aluex | but fx is still not willing to appear | 01:23 |
Cheri703 | do guided use entire disk | 01:23 |
UndiFineD | aluex, I suggest you do as said in the forum and rename your .mozilla directory to something else, like mozilla.bak | 01:23 |
reaperofpoverty | alright, it's at a 'select disk to partition', selecting the only option | 01:23 |
Cheri703 | k | 01:24 |
aluex | i ve tried that.. remving the whole folder | 01:24 |
* aluex feels sorry looking at fx icon | 01:24 | |
pedro3005 | aluex, reinstall firefox | 01:24 |
reaperofpoverty | now it's at a confirmation screen - it says the partition tables of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda) will be changed, and partition #1 of it will be formatted as ext4 and partition #5 of it will be formatted as swap | 01:24 |
reaperofpoverty | it wants to know if i want to write the changes to disks | 01:25 |
Cheri703 | go for it :) | 01:25 |
aluex | pedro3005, meet u again. ;) | 01:25 |
reaperofpoverty | alllllriiiight! it's installing the base system | 01:26 |
* reaperofpoverty fingers crossed | 01:26 | |
UndiFineD | apt-get --purge firefox && apt-get update && apt-get install firefox | 01:26 |
Cheri703 | woo! | 01:26 |
aluex | sorry | 01:30 |
aluex | nothing improved | 01:30 |
aluex | :( | 01:30 |
UndiFineD | http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8838107&postcount=21 | 01:32 |
UndiFineD | do you have prism installed ? | 01:32 |
aluex | aha,gdb says fx returns with code01 | 01:34 |
UndiFineD | there are loads of tips in that forum | 01:34 |
UndiFineD | one of them is prism, other says greasemonkey etc, by elimination the .mozilla dir you remove some custom plugins | 01:35 |
UndiFineD | others are installed in /usr/sharefirefox | 01:35 |
UndiFineD | eh, well you get what i mean | 01:35 |
UndiFineD | these plugins seem to break it | 01:36 |
reaperofpoverty | just set up my user, pass, etc. appears to be working so far | 01:36 |
Cheri703 | awesome reaperofpoverty! I'm glad it's working now | 01:37 |
aluex | but safe-mode doesnt work either | 01:37 |
reaperofpoverty | not completely sure it will work - after all, have to make sure the DE is working | 01:37 |
reaperofpoverty | but the cli side of it is working so far | 01:37 |
UndiFineD | no aluex you should start up synaptic and remove firefox, and associated plugins | 01:38 |
aluex | oh | 01:38 |
UndiFineD | then you can check /usr/share/firefox | 01:39 |
UndiFineD | to see if there are any leftovers | 01:39 |
duanedesign | aluex: you can also start firefox from the Terminal with the command: firefox -P and create a new profile | 01:39 |
UndiFineD | duanedesign, clearly from the forum this is a plugins issue | 01:40 |
aluex | i agree | 01:40 |
yofel | still, -safe-mode should disable all plugins | 01:40 |
duanedesign | UndiFineD: if you create a new profile it should not load the plugins installed on the other profile | 01:41 |
aluex | confusing | 01:41 |
aluex | firefox -p outputs nothing | 01:41 |
duanedesign | capital p | 01:41 |
duanedesign | so i guess it is actually Ctrl + Shift + p :) | 01:43 |
duanedesign | i mean firefox + Shift + P | 01:43 |
aluex | duanedesign, no output either :( | 01:43 |
duanedesign | hmm :/ | 01:43 |
aluex | duanedesign, i didnt catch ur words | 01:43 |
duanedesign | aluex: not important :) | 01:44 |
duanedesign | aluex: does it just return again to another prompt? | 01:44 |
UndiFineD | plugins are in /usr/share/mozilla/extentions | 01:44 |
yofel | er, they're in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ | 01:45 |
aluex | duanedesign, what is prompt? | 01:45 |
UndiFineD | yofel, I dont have that | 01:46 |
yofel | well, depends if you have anything installed that gets put there | 01:46 |
duanedesign | aluex: duanedesign@duanedesign-laptop: <--my prompt | 01:46 |
aluex | ehm | 01:47 |
aluex | yep | 01:47 |
UndiFineD | keimpe@head:~$ | 01:47 |
UndiFineD | my prompt | 01:47 |
aluex | duanedesign, as u said | 01:50 |
yofel | aluex: what does 'firefox -g' do? | 01:51 |
yofel | should start gdb | 01:51 |
aluex | ehm, gdb starts | 01:52 |
yofel | aluex: ok, then run 'start' and when it stops 'continue' | 01:53 |
yofel | in gdb | 01:53 |
aluex | Function "main" not defined. | 01:54 |
aluex | Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) | 01:54 |
yofel | that's not what I expected... (why wouldn't main be defined??) | 01:56 |
aluex | i dont know | 01:58 |
aluex | maybe that's the reason? | 01:58 |
aluex | excutive file is broken? | 01:58 |
aluex | but ive just reinstallled it | 01:59 |
aluex | ;( | 02:00 |
duanedesign | aluex: can you try this command to see if you have this installed: apt-cache search kde-config-gtk | 02:00 |
aveilleux | executable | 02:00 |
aluex | aveilleux, i m sorry | 02:01 |
yofel | firefox isn't easy to debug, since you pass 3 shell scripts before the actual binary is run :/ | 02:01 |
aluex | ;( | 02:02 |
duanedesign | aluex: looking at some crash reports when it asks - Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n]) - you say n | 02:03 |
aluex | duanedesign, no crash report. it exited with code 01 | 02:04 |
duanedesign | the only other think i can think of is trying to reinstall xulrunner | 02:08 |
yofel | I think the recent firefox packages ship their own xulrunner lib | 02:09 |
aluex | xulrunner iz not installed yet, duanedesign | 02:11 |
yofel | right, since firefox has it's own, hm... | 02:11 |
aluex | now i can only use midori | 02:12 |
aluex | chromium crashes , too | 02:13 |
* aluex feels sorry looking at firefox icon | 02:13 | |
UndiFineD | I have firefox, chromium, chrome, opera, minefield, midori, links2, | 02:13 |
yofel | aluex: just to make sure it's the binary that fails: can you edit '/usr/lib/firefox-VERSION/run-mozilla.sh' (replace VERSION with your version) and add an -x to the first line? '#!/bin/sh -x' and then pastebin the output? | 02:14 |
yofel | (output of trying to run firefox from the command line) | 02:14 |
aluex | i'lll hava try | 02:14 |
Cheri703 | reaperofpoverty: everything finish up smoothly? | 02:15 |
aluex | yofel, output about what | 02:18 |
aluex | the script? | 02:19 |
yofel | aluex: if you added -x to run_mozilla.sh and tried running 'firefox' do you get any output? | 02:19 |
yofel | (you did save run-mozilla.sh after editing it?) | 02:19 |
aluex | yes | 02:19 |
aluex | and no output.. | 02:20 |
yofel | . . . | 02:20 |
yofel | aluex: okaaay... can you do the same with /usr/bin/firefox and /usr/lib/firefox-VERSION/firefox ? | 02:20 |
aluex | oh,wait for a moment.. | 02:21 |
aluex | odd... | 02:24 |
aluex | very odd | 02:24 |
aluex | yofel, /usr/lib/f../firefox seems not a plain text file | 02:25 |
yofel | huh? it is here, /usr/lib/firefox-3.6.13pre/firefox-bin is the binary here | 02:26 |
aluex | ehm ,but the file fx itself seems not proper | 02:27 |
yofel | aluex: ok, can you leave that aside and only edit /usr/bin/firefox? | 02:27 |
aluex | ok | 02:27 |
aluex | done | 02:27 |
yofel | ok, running 'firefox' should give you something like this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/531497/ | 02:28 |
aluex | enm, i see it | 02:29 |
aluex | seemz right | 02:29 |
yofel | can you pastebin that output please? | 02:29 |
aluex | ok | 02:29 |
aluex | yofel, http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/531500/ | 02:37 |
bobo123 | good evening. anyone knows how to set up projects in Code:Blocks? | 02:38 |
aluex | i think /usr/lib/../firefox was the reason | 02:39 |
bobo123 | it gives me lots of errors like "/usr/include/c++/4.4/cwchar:67: error: ‘::mbstate_t’ has not been declared" so I guess there is some build options that I must set or? (the program is normally compiled with jam from commandline, but I had hoped I could use code:blocks instead) | 02:39 |
yofel | aluex: why are you running firefox 3.5.3? I can find that in karmic, but even karmic-updates has 3.6.12 | 02:39 |
aluex | i m using arm platform | 02:39 |
yofel | (and it's entirely possible that 3.5.3 has firefox as binary) | 02:40 |
yofel | ah... | 02:40 |
aluex | and ubuntu.srt.cn is the current source | 02:40 |
yofel | right, the updated only show as amd64,i386 | 02:40 |
aluex | ehm | 02:40 |
yofel | aluex: ok, can you try to install a xulrunner package after all? maybe that's missing | 02:41 |
aluex | ok.. i m running out of power.. | 02:41 |
aluex | thx all da same | 02:41 |
yofel | sure, sorry I couldn't help more | 02:42 |
aluex | :) see u all | 02:42 |

Cheri703 | that may be about your hardware ttrubuntu | 08:10 |
ttrubuntu | ok. but in the same machine win XP handles | 08:11 |
nit-wit | ttru | 08:11 |
ttrubuntu | such situation though it fails in many palces | 08:11 |
nit-wit | ttrubuntu, whats your setup how much memory, and do you clear FF | 08:12 |
nit-wit | ttrubuntu, XP is just less of a drain ob the hardware | 08:13 |
ttrubuntu | AMD Athlon 1700XP(1.1GHz), 1.2GB RAM, 80 GB HDD | 08:13 |
ttrubuntu | i know it is 8 years old | 08:13 |
ttrubuntu | !! | 08:13 |
nit-wit | ttrubuntu, I don't open a lot of tabs, but if you have pages with lots of scripts running and addblock off it may be difficult for it to run. Do you use noscript? | 08:15 |
ttrubuntu | nit-wit: i have no idea about script. i haven't added any scripts myself. i have 3-5 add-ons added to original installation. i have all the updates installed to my machine. | 08:16 |
nit-wit | ttrubuntu, try the addon noscript it blocks flash and stuff, you can also add toolbar buttons and have a easy persession okay and reverse | 08:17 |
ttrubuntu | not-wit: tabs may be avoided. but i am into lot of RSS reading. all the links i open in tabs and and read tabs after some time | 08:17 |
Cheri703 | ttrubuntu: try google reader | 08:18 |
ttrubuntu | ok. thanks. i will do | 08:18 |
ttrubuntu | do u use forefox or different? | 08:18 |
ttrubuntu | i mean firefox? | 08:19 |
nit-wit | ttrubuntu, FF mainly it is about the safest browser when set up correctly | 08:19 |
ttrubuntu | currently i am using in-built akregator | 08:19 |
ttrubuntu | ok | 08:19 |
ttrubuntu | my last question with the little knowledge i have gained in ubuntu: | 08:20 |
nit-wit | ttrubuntu, , I use ghostery, beef taco, noscipt, better privacy, add block for main protection andI have FF set to remeber nothing, after getting the passwords I want in it, with firefox sync | 08:20 |
ttrubuntu | can we kill some memory intensive processes to ease memory in ubuntu? back in windows i used to do lot of CAD and " end process" | 08:22 |
ttrubuntu | ok | 08:22 |

JoeMaverickSett | Cheri703: but he could reopen and do it? no? | 08:34 |
JoeMaverickSett | Cheri703: btw, hello! :) | 08:34 |
Cheri703 | yeah, he was saying that he didn't have it as a quick reference previously. I think he's bookmarked it now | 08:34 |
Cheri703 | and hi :) | 08:34 |
JoeMaverickSett | Cheri703: ah, okie. now i get it. :D | 08:34 |

janhln | Sorry: UnicodeError: ("\\N escapes not supported (can't load unicodedata module)",) | 12:59 |
janhln | can't find a working solution for this by google or ubuntuforums... | 13:00 |
pedro3005 | hi janhln | 13:01 |
janhln | hi | 13:01 |
pedro3005 | It looks as though it's trying to use python 2.4 | 13:01 |
janhln | aha, remove python2.4? | 13:01 |
pedro3005 | can you run this for me and tell what it says: | 13:01 |
pedro3005 | python --version | 13:01 |
janhln | Python 2.6.5 | 13:02 |
pedro3005 | janhln, on a terminal, type "python" please | 13:03 |
pedro3005 | then try to run this python code | 13:03 |
pedro3005 | import unicodedata | 13:03 |
janhln | succeeds without any message | 13:03 |
pedro3005 | ok | 13:03 |
pedro3005 | type this: | 13:03 |
pedro3005 | exit() | 13:03 |
pedro3005 | please paste the output of | 13:04 |
pedro3005 | ls /usr/bin | grep python | 13:04 |
janhln | this nevow thing (I need it for python-coherence) sees python 2.4 first...? | 13:04 |

pedro3005 | But it's okay | 13:05 |
janhln | sorry, IRC newby | 13:05 |
pedro3005 | what we could try to do is symlink python 2.4 to python | 13:06 |
pedro3005 | I'm not sure that would work but it's worth a shot | 13:06 |
pedro3005 | first, let's back up python2.4 | 13:06 |
pedro3005 | sudo cp /usr/bin/python2.4 /usr/bin/python2.4.bak | 13:06 |
pedro3005 | if anything goes wrong we can just restore our back up | 13:06 |
janhln | done | 13:07 |
pedro3005 | ok | 13:08 |
pedro3005 | now | 13:08 |
pedro3005 | sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.4 | 13:08 |
janhln | ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/bin/python2.4': File exists | 13:10 |
pedro3005 | oh | 13:10 |
pedro3005 | sudo rm /usr/bin/python2.4 | 13:10 |
pedro3005 | (don't worry, we have the back up) | 13:10 |
pedro3005 | and then run the command again | 13:11 |
janhln | should I try the apt-get again :-) | 13:13 |
pedro3005 | janhln, did you run the ln command again? | 13:13 |
janhln | yes, sorry | 13:14 |
pedro3005 | ok | 13:14 |
pedro3005 | now do this | 13:14 |
pedro3005 | python2.4 | 13:14 |
pedro3005 | it'll open, hopefully, a python shell | 13:14 |
pedro3005 | tell me which version it says it is | 13:14 |
janhln | 2.6.5 | 13:14 |
pedro3005 | ok | 13:14 |
pedro3005 | exit() | 13:14 |
pedro3005 | and try the apt-get command again | 13:14 |
janhln | apt-get nevow also works | 13:14 |
pedro3005 | :) | 13:15 |
janhln | :-D | 13:15 |
janhln | great, I'm going to remember this channel :-) googled for about 2 hours for this, couldn't find any similar user story :-(, thx alot pedro3005 | 13:16 |

SPooN | is there a way to delete locked files? | 15:01 |
hobgoblin | SPooN: as root - either in a terminal with rm or you could use filemanager as root | 15:02 |
hobgoblin | in ubuntu = gksudo nautilus | 15:03 |
SPooN | where is filemanager? | 15:04 |
hobgoblin | you would need to run it is root - so do Alt+F2 then the command I gave above - it will want password | 15:06 |
aveilleux | SPooN: You access root permissions by using the command "gksudo nautilus". "File Manager" is a generic name for any program that enables the graphical organization of files,; the file manager in Ubuntu is Nautilus. | 15:06 |
SPooN | ok | 15:07 |
hobgoblin | the assumption is that you are using ubuntu | 15:08 |
SPooN | maverick ubuntu | 15:08 |

Forer | well I'm trying to get kismet up, after installing it I'm running through kismet.conf and it's set to root accessible only it seems | 20:42 |
Forer | "could not save file /etc/kismet/kismet.conf" | 20:43 |
bioterror | sudo nano /etc/kismet/kismet.conf | 20:43 |

salvo | anyone have experience setting up RAID1? | 21:16 |
salvo | I currently have 2 2TB WDEARS drives. One has about 600Gb of data on it (NTFS) and I am currently copying that data to a the other 2TB properly 4k aligned ext4 drive. | 21:20 |
salvo | after it is done copying I am going to align and format the NTFS to ext4 | 21:20 |
salvo | then I would like to setup a RAID1 | 21:21 |
salvo | without losing any data | 21:21 |
bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/RAID1%2BLVM | 21:24 |
salvo | lol I just found that before you posted | 21:25 |
salvo | although, I don't want LVM | 21:26 |
salvo | so I just run the RAID commands listed? | 21:26 |
salvo | or LVM is what I should use | 21:28 |
bioterror | I think you should go with the LVM | 21:30 |
salvo | ok, so since I already have files on one of the drives, it seems if I follow the steps in the guide I'll have to reformat which I don't want to do. Once I have the drives formated to ext4 with one drive full of data and the other blank, it is still possible to setup RAID1 without losing any data correct? | 21:33 |
bioterror | I've only build raids with solaris and FreeBSD | 21:34 |
bioterror | never with linux | 21:34 |
bioterror | and I've owned hw raid 5 systems | 21:35 |
deejoe | bioterror: you talking software raid for solaris and FreeBSD? | 21:36 |
salvo | I do have an option in my BIOS to setup RAID, should I use that? | 21:36 |
bioterror | yes | 21:36 |
bioterror | salvo, I would suggest to use software raid | 21:37 |
salvo | ok | 21:37 |
bioterror | becouse if your computer gets messed up, you might lose the data | 21:37 |
bioterror | with software raid you're bounded to bIOS | 21:38 |
salvo | the help page says it is specific to Ubuntu versions 7.04, 8.04, 9.04.... | 21:41 |
salvo | I am running 10.10 | 21:41 |
salvo | does it matter? | 21:41 |
bioterror | I think nothing have not changed since 9.04 | 21:43 |
bioterror | but I'm off to bed, laters | 21:43 |
salvo | k | 21:44 |
