[00:10] hey all! [00:55] My Internet download speed is slower then what it is in Win, any ideas on how to change this? [01:07] or how do i check to see what is using my internet to slow it down [01:10] reaper_: how are you determining its slower? [01:11] it runnings in win7 at 80kbps on here its 50kbps [01:11] right [01:11] where are those #'s coming from? [01:12] the 80kbps is what my internet downloads at and the 50kbps is what im watching it run at [01:13] i guess what im getting at is [01:13] what is reporting those figures to you? [01:13] well my web browser and terminal [01:15] so, a speed test? [01:15] in the browser [01:16] the same test on both OS's? [01:16] i suppose if its wifi [01:16] it could be a wifi driver issue [01:16] the speed i got when i got my internet installed [01:16] yes [01:16] need had problem until 10.10 [01:17] check and see what driver you had before [01:17] is it a broadcom chip? [01:17] yeah think so [01:17] and my internet runs on different wired or wireless [01:18] wired *should be faster [01:18] i would expect that [01:18] with G [01:18] its not runs the same I checked [01:26] this one speed test says its at 600kbps [01:32] when I use the update manager it downloads like it should but if I download from my browser or terminal it doesnt download like it should [01:35] i would say, sleep on it [01:35] and test some more later [01:35] yeah I have been at this for days [01:35] maybe set up some local tests on your LAN [01:35] that you can trust %100 [01:36] unless it has nothing to do with my internet it the server that im downloading from [01:36] yeah, setting up something locally will reduce the variables [01:37] that has to be what it is [01:37] because the update manager is downloading at what it should be [01:40] i wouldnt lose slee over it [01:40] sleep* [01:41] im not going to it is what it is [01:41] :) [02:54] im looking at creating an ISO from my bootable windows C:, and i believe the only proper way to go about this is to get a live CD going with an ISO creator utility. is this possible? [02:55] jacky12345: You mean making a Windows LiveCD? [02:56] Well, i want to move my existing Windows machine to a virtual server. My virtual server software: VMWhere will open an ISO to create my virtual machine... [02:58] I don't know of any windows ISO creating utilities that create ISO from the C: so it looks as if I might have to use a nix live CD with an 'ISO creation' utility. [02:58] jacky12345, different drivers all kinds of stuff Its been done but not beginners work [02:59] That way, my windows OS isn't running therefore there will be no 'open files' so i can, in theory, create an ISO from my C: and save it to my D: [03:00] jacky12345: The way Windows is designed makes it very hard to create LiveCDs from it. [03:01] but surely i can boot from my dvd drive with ubunto, and run a ISO creation program..no? [03:01] ...or am i dreaming? [03:02] I've never heard of that being possible [03:02] maybe with some sort of ghosting software? but...not to make an iso from an existing installation [03:02] oh [03:04] jacky12345, I have seen on the web where everything is true of course people claiming to have moved the MS to a virtual, different manner then a ISO though I believe. [03:05] yeah, clonezilla or similar [03:05] clonezilla eh? [03:05] still, getting xp to be 'happy' after the move [03:05] thats going to be the trick [03:06] holstein, so much for MS 'virtual' concept/definition eh? [03:06] its not like linux where most drivers are in the kernel [03:06] and you can just jump ship anytime you want [03:06] you might be able to clone the install [03:06] jacky12345: you can install a fresh windows setup in a vm [03:06] holstein, that would be the best guess, have tried it my W7 setup to Vbox couldn't get it to work. [03:06] but not take your existing [03:06] move it and run some restoritive install [03:07] oh wow - i thougt that this was a somewhat 'common' thing to do and that there would be some type of software, but this looks like a major damn project [03:07] where your data *should still be in place [03:07] jacky12345: with linux, its easier [03:07] i think , unless you have a whole bunch of custimization going on [03:07] just do the fresh install [03:07] in whatever vitrualization your going to be using [03:08] then you can easily move that install to another machine running the same vitrualization environment [03:08] anytime you want [03:08] ubuntu is SUUUUPER easy [03:08] for moving things around === Cheri703_ is now known as Cheri703 [04:18] Hello? [04:18] First of all I'm using a VPS and using tightvnc on it for the game Minecraft.I was told to use this command for an update. It took about an hour. After it was done I restarted and now I can't start my VNC server. -Using a VPS btw. Normally on a fresh boot it uses around 15mb of ram a little less now it's stuck at 2mb - 4mb. When I try to start the VNC it goes to about 9mb which is supposed to go around 350 to 400mb. [04:19] Here is the command I used [04:19] apt-get install python-software-properties -y; cd /etc/apt; rm sources.list; wgethttps://allgamer.net/files/sources.list; gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key C90F9CB90E1FAD0C && gpg --export --armor C90F9CB90E1FAD0C | sudo apt-key add -; apt-get update -y; apt-get install zip screen htop -y; apt-get upgrade -y; apt-get install libmono-corlib2.0-cil libmono-system-runtime2.0-cil libmono-system-web2.0-cil libmono-windowsbas [04:19] After that update I noticed the desktop became lower quality I thought it was normal so I restarted the server and now I'm having that problem [04:24] hi [04:28] cable internet ( ethernet plug ) is directly connected to laptap for internet, how to setup or do settings , so that internet to work on ubuntu 10 ? ( local internet provider is fan to XP only ), but im ubuntu in our region. [04:29] jackoriper: please ask your question in one channel at a time [04:29] jackoriper: you have access to a router? [04:33] holstein: no, local service provider has just provided a cable into our house. [04:33] well, an easy way to deal with that, assuming you want to run more than one computer is to get a router [04:34] im trying to find the info you would need... [04:34] its do-able [04:34] ive just always had a router [04:35] Anyone have any idea about my question earlier? [04:36] Chilldy: how does that game run via VNC ? [04:36] I'm running my game server through VPS and it requires a VNC so that I can remote connect from my desktop [04:37] AH [04:37] how *well* does that game run via VNC [04:37] ? [04:37] It runs just fine. It's been running almost 2 months flawlessly and just when I ran that big command of updates I can't load the VNC server anymore [04:38] where did you get that command? [04:38] Chilldy: are you otherwise up to date on the machine? [04:38] From the Minecraft gaming forum [04:38] with packages? [04:38] This is the command I used [04:38] apt-get install python-software-properties -y; cd /etc/apt; rm sources.list; wgethttps://allgamer.net/files/sources.list; gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key C90F9CB90E1FAD0C && gpg --export --armor C90F9CB90E1FAD0C | sudo apt-key add -; apt-get update -y; apt-get install zip screen htop -y; apt-get upgrade -y; apt-get install libmono-corlib2.0-cil libmono-system-runtime2.0-cil libmono-system-web2.0-cil libmono-windowsbas [04:38] maybe the updates are expecting you to have newer version of packages installed [04:39] i still would not expect that to effect the VNC connection [04:39] BUT it wouldnt hurt to just check for updates [04:39] !pastebin | Chilldy [04:39] Chilldy: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [04:39] and read though the list [04:39] and see what is available [04:39] Read through what list? [04:40] the list of availalbe updates for your vitrual server machine [04:40] How do I do that? [04:40] well, i dont have a VPS [04:40] but i run [04:40] sudo apt-get update [04:40] and [04:40] sudo apt-get upgrade *if i want the updates [04:41] but you might want to check with your host [04:41] Okay I will see if it does anything I remember typing those in an it didn't do anything [04:41] and see how they suggest you do that [04:41] Chilldy: is there some functionality you need in the update? [04:41] this might be one of those lessons - 'if it aint broke' ;) [04:42] i break things updating all the time though [04:42] Okay I get this [04:42] Could not resolve 'archive.canonical.com' [04:42] when I run sudo apt-get update [04:42] probably need to sort that out [04:42] W: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/karmic/Release.gpg [04:42] might want to upgrade to lucid anyways [04:43] the long term support [04:43] that might just make things worse though ;) [04:43] I don't want to lose anything on the server so I wont be reinstalling the OS [04:44] hehe [04:44] back it up [04:44] you never know what you'll be doing to get that game working [04:44] minecraft forums? [04:44] I thought linux was so much better and that I agree it's just SOOO much more complicated then windows o.O [04:45] http://www.minecraftforum.net/ [04:45] well, your doing something rather complex with it [04:45] I've tried everywhere and I'm waiting from a response to those that own the server, but I don't think they know and are taking a long time to respond [04:45] and your mot familiar with the package manager [04:45] I've already posted ont he minecraft forum [04:45] i mean, to each his own, i say [04:46] but i think its more what ever you get used to [04:46] i mean, how is your windows VPS doing? [04:46] My windows vps is fine? [04:47] maybe you can run it on there ? [04:47] Like I said this all started right after that long line of updates and restarting [04:47] maybe they have better windows support? [04:47] They do, but I don't want to run a server on my computer [04:48] maybe try #ubuntu-server [04:48] its quiet in there though, you might have to wait around a bit... [04:48] It was quiet in here for a while :P [04:48] good luck [04:48] Thanks anyways [04:49] Chilldy: i've not much of a techie, but i think you'd have to reconnect the VNC to re-gain access. [04:49] *i'm [04:50] I did reconnect it [04:50] I sued this command [04:50] used* [04:50] tightvncserver -geometry 800x600 [04:51] I use it everytime I reboot the vps [04:51] whats the connection like without arguments? [04:51] And I don't get an error. When I look at the ram usage normally it hits about 350mb to 450mbs but for some reasont he ram is staying at 9mb [04:51] It's as if it isn't even loading [04:52] I also noticed after I ran the long line of updates my desktop background became lower quality [04:53] So now when I restart the VPS the ram usage stays stuck at 2mb rather then 15mb it would normally be at on a reboot [04:54] I've also tried running the command startx [04:54] to no avail [04:55] I get Fatal server error: xf86OpenConsole: Cannot open /dev/tty0 (No such file or directory) [05:09] o.O [06:14] !pastebinit [06:14] pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [06:15] Wondering if anyone here can help with a huge problem I have have running this command http://paste.ubuntu.com/545493/ [06:16] I have after running* [06:16] Hold on [06:16] Thats a pretty loaded command' [06:16] any feedback? [06:17] Yeah It was supposed to do a ton of updates [06:17] Whats the problem? [06:17] As it did but it ended up I can't run my TightVNC server [06:17] any error message? [06:18] It loads fine when I type "tightvncserver -geometry 800x600" [06:18] But I noticed that the Ram usage doesn't move [06:18] After I had ran that long list of updates only real things I noticed was the desktop GUI and went to lower quality [06:19] When I restarted thats when i ran into the issue [06:19] With a full reboot of the VPS the ram used to stop at about 15mb now it's stuck at 2mb. And when I ran the VNC server it would normally hit 350mb to 450mb [06:19] Now it just gets stuck at around 9mb [06:20] Let me take a look at that command [06:20] Okay [06:21] I would also never run a huge command like this.. [06:21] Its difficult to troubleshoot [06:23] I was just told it was a bunch of updates. [06:23] you were told? [06:23] Yes [06:24] o/ [06:24] I mean does the command not look like a bunch of updates? [06:24] Half of these- if not all were from funky websites. [06:24] these programs could be anything [06:24] Is there a way to revert back? [06:25] do you have backups?\ [06:25] CensoredBiscuit, in short what is the problem [06:25] I assumed there would be auto backups? o.O [06:26] Chilldy, that command is so large it does not fit the pastebin [06:26] "apt-get install python-software-properties -y; cd /etc/apt; rm sources.list; wgethttps://allgamer.net/files/sources.list; gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key C90F9CB90E1FAD0C && gpg --export --armor C90F9CB90E1FAD0C | sudo apt-key add -; apt-get update -y; apt-get install zip screen htop -y; apt-get upgrade -y; apt-get install libmono-corlib2.0-cil libmono-system-runtime2.0-cil libmono-system-web2.0-cil libmono-windowsba [06:26] That's the whole commands [06:27] well I do not know allgamer.net [06:27] now he cannot run TightVNC and the GUI looks oddd and etc. [06:27] but I see the fault [06:27] The GUI looked of low quality after the update [06:27] then I restarted [06:27] and I can't load the vnc server [06:28] What's the fault UndifineD? [06:29] it is with wget [06:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/545499/ [06:30] Any idea what I should do? [06:32] it is a weird way to get around making a ppa .... [06:32] also ... they replace your sources.list [06:33] so you get stuff they decided [06:34] Chilldy, what do you want to achieve now ... [06:35] I just want to get it working again. [06:35] so ... what is wrong atm [06:35] I have no clue where to start other then reinstalling Ubuntu [06:35] Well [06:36] With a full reboot of the VPS the ram get's stuck at 2mb's it used to go to around 15mb. When I started my VNC server it would bump up the ram to around 350 to 450mb now the ram stays at around 9mb [06:37] I run this everytime I start the VPS "tightvncserver -geometry 800x600" [06:37] And I get no errors, but it seems as if it doesn't load [06:37] And I can't connect to it [06:38] you can connect to ssh ? [06:39] I don't know if it's SSH but I'm able to connect to the console through the VPS Control Panel [06:39] I'm still able to use the Terminal [06:39] ok [06:40] could you pastebin the content of the sources.list ? [06:40] How do I do that? [06:41] copy the text from terminal and paste [06:41] !paste [06:41] For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://tinyurl.com/imagebin | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[06:42] leaving* [06:42] Chilldy, there comes a other for you [06:43] UndiFineD, have not yet slept and its almost 8.00 in morning here [06:43] ok?:) [06:44] i don't have a sources list these are it in apt folder sources.list.save and sources.list.d [06:44] aha [06:44] o.O [06:46] What does that mean? [06:46] that that explains things [06:47] Can that be fixed?

I'm just needing a fix :P [06:58] does you network interface have an ip ? [06:58] ifconfig [06:59] rather I would like to know if he can ping those nameservers [06:59] ifconfig didn't do anything [07:00] * UndiFineD oh noes [07:00] whaaat?

[07:05] you updated kernel or something [07:05] are these instructions given by the vps service ? [07:05] No from other help forums [07:05] They don't seem to be helping though [07:06] is that update from ubuntu branch? [07:06] bioterror, you know what i meant ? [07:06] No. Bioterror it wasn't [07:06] he needs to try to restart his network config [07:06] so he leeched kernel from some other service [07:07] hey bio [07:07] No that long list of updates was from a different forum to help run a wrapper for my game server properly [07:07] or how should I say it, someone elses kernel than ubuntu [07:07] I'ma pm you kay? [07:07] bioterror [07:08] CensoredBiscuit, pm about what? [07:09] So am I just out of luck on this one? [07:09] nope [07:10] hahahaha [07:10] oh no [07:10] The question is have you guys given up? :P [07:13] brb [07:14] i have a tech in my channel who will try to help...pl;eae state clearly what is happening chilly [07:14] please* [07:18] back [07:18] Chilldy, so you have to restart your network [07:18] Okay has your tech looked at my code that I used to update? [07:19] but I am too tired to be of proper help [07:19] So whos taking over? [07:19] it is in /etc/init.d/net* [07:20] but i have several files there [07:20] that badgerports is mysterious [07:20] trying to investigate it [07:20] but I've got no access to it's dists [07:20] bioterror, he is missing /etc/apt/sources.list [07:21] here is mine: wget http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7607669/a/sources.list [07:21] well [07:24] This is so frustrating [07:25] may i ask..is the problem that u cannot get online? (late getting involved). [07:25] uBUXUBu, seems so [07:25] Chilldy, is that it? [07:26] I think so. And that I have no sources.list [07:26] i am installing ubuntu 10.04 as we speak...if i can get a clear idea wut the prob is i will try to see if wut iam doing can help answer the question. [07:26] ok so u wanna know why u dont have a source list is that correct? [07:27] he delled it [07:27] I'll start fromt he top again [07:27] I ran this long list of updates [07:27] "apt-get install python-software-properties -y; cd /etc/apt; rm sources.list; wgethttps://allgamer.net/files/sources.list; gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv-key C90F9CB90E1FAD0C && gpg --export --armor C90F9CB90E1FAD0C | sudo apt-key add -; apt-get update -y; apt-get install zip screen htop -y; apt-get upgrade -y; apt-get install libmono-corlib2.0-cil libmono-system-runtime2.0-cil libmono-system-web2.0-cil libmono-windowsba [07:27] And it took about an hour and a half [07:28] after it was done my desktop turned into a lower res [07:28] ok keep going...i think this happened to me [07:28] so I restarted the VPS [07:28] stop right there for a sec [07:28] remind me wut VPS is [07:29] A virtual private server [07:29] I'm using it to host my game server [07:29] through another company [07:29] ok im still gonna try to help but i dont know about that stuff [07:29] kinda like a dedicated server [07:29] listen [07:30] did the update fully install [07:30] and did u reboot when it finished [07:30] It did [07:30] Yes [07:30] geez, i have tried to burn iso image into cd 3 times, and no one has the same md5 code, [07:30] ok then wut happened [07:30] cmon Chilldy keep goin [07:31] Well when I tried to run my VNC server so that I could remote connect to it from my computer at home it loaded as usual, but when I look at the ram usage it usually was at around 350mb to 450mb now it's just at 9mb [07:31] and I can't connect to it [07:31] Chilldy, can you find NIC from lspci? [07:31] ok so the problem is u cannot connect to you remote server [07:31] When I run sudo apt-get update I get thisErr http://archive.canonical.com karmic Release.gpg Could not resolve 'archive.canonical.com' Reading package lists...
