| chippanfat | i know this is going to sound dense ! but would you guys know how i go about copying files to a usb pen on terminal? | 14:43 |
| chippanfat | its one of the things i've never done xD | 14:43 |
| brobostigon | chippanfat: df -h -T ,to find the mount point. | 14:44 |
| chippanfat | been looking on the interwebz for a while but i've found nothing | 14:44 |
| chippanfat | I'll give it a try now :) | 14:44 |
| brobostigon | chippanfat: and then use "cp" to copy the files to the mountpoint of that drive, | 14:45 |
| chippanfat | ahhh :/ it cant find anything :( | 14:45 |
| brobostigon | chippanfat: paste the output of df -h -T | 14:45 |
| brobostigon | and is the usb drive mounted,can yousee it in nautilus? | 14:46 |
| chippanfat | I'll have to sort you out with a image and a link from photobucket :) i'm using a virtual machine atm see and it wont let me copy ¬.¬ | 14:46 |
| brobostigon | ok. | 14:47 |
| chippanfat | http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i249/efan1234/df.png | 14:49 |
| chippanfat | you'll have to excuse, i done the df command twice :p | 14:49 |
| brobostigon | noworries :) | 14:50 |
| brobostigon | chippanfat: your usb isnt mounted, ok, get the /dev of it with "fdisk -l" | 14:51 |
| chippanfat | right ok :) | 14:52 |
| chippanfat | nothing has apeard when i do the df command again | 14:52 |
| brobostigon | so not even "/ root "shows up ? | 14:53 |
| chippanfat | nope :/ | 14:56 |
| chippanfat | I've got /dev/sda1 | 14:56 |
| brobostigon | that shouldnt be possible,because youcant have a running syste,m without root. | 14:57 |
| chippanfat | which show the size of the HDD but thats about it | 14:57 |
| chippanfat | :/ i dont think it would matter that its in a virtual machine either | 14:57 |
| brobostigon | same as a real system inreal terms. | 14:57 |
| chippanfat | yeahh :) | 14:58 |
| chippanfat | yeahh :) | 14:58 |
| chippanfat | i'll resort to install the xubuntu desktop :P | 14:58 |
| brobostigon | chippanfat: that doesnt solve the problem, it could make it more complex. | 14:59 |
| brobostigon | or break things more, | 14:59 |
| chippanfat | its just so i can drag and drop :) | 14:59 |
| chippanfat | i've been trying to be good and run the servers just in command line see :) | 14:59 |
| chippanfat | I dont do a good job of it though xD | 14:59 |
| brobostigon | chippanfat: xfce will need the samedetails aswe are trying tofind out, if it cant get them, it wont be able to do it either, | 15:00 |
| chippanfat | ahhh :/ | 15:00 |
| chippanfat | i'll keep googling :) | 15:01 |
| brobostigon | so trying to install xfce could complicate things even more, | 15:01 |
| brobostigon | chippanfat: reboot it, and try again. | 15:01 |
| chippanfat | okiedokie :) | 15:01 |
| brobostigon | chippanfat: and is the virtual machine setto share the usb with the system inside the virtual machine? | 15:03 |
| chippanfat | yeahh :) it shares the virtual drives and usb's :) ohhh, and with a bridged net connection | 15:04 |
| brobostigon | ok, | 15:04 |
| brobostigon | what is the output of fdisk -l | 15:04 |
| chippanfat | You'll have to give me a bit xD the vm is doing something wanky :p | 15:06 |
| brobostigon | ok, | 15:06 |
| brobostigon | can you define wanky? | 15:06 |
| brobostigon | clarify? | 15:07 |
| chippanfat | sorry :P seven is doing the whole "not responding" thing on the vmware | 15:08 |
| chippanfat | i'm just waiting for the proccess to terminate :) | 15:08 |
| brobostigon | ok. | 15:09 |
| brobostigon | chippanfat: iwillbrb, just need to wet my whistle. | 15:10 |
| chippanfat | okiedokie :) | 15:11 |
| brobostigon | back, :) | 15:16 |
| brobostigon | chippanfat: ok, back, :) | 15:18 |
| chippanfat | hiya :) | 15:19 |
| chippanfat | just restarting the vm :) | 15:19 |
| brobostigon | ok, :) | 15:19 |
| chippanfat | fdisk -l dosent pull anything up :/ | 15:22 |
| chippanfat | but it does complete the command with no error | 15:22 |
| brobostigon | chippanfat: dmesg | grep /dev | 15:23 |
| brobostigon | chippanfat: dmesg | grep usb | 15:23 |
| chippanfat | registered new usb interface :) | 15:24 |
| brobostigon | ok, what oes the first output ? | 15:25 |
| chippanfat | http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i249/efan1234/usb.png | 15:28 |
| chippanfat | want me to "DF" it again? :) | 15:28 |
| brobostigon | dmesg | grep /dev | 15:29 |
| chippanfat | adding 407548k swap on /dev/sda5 | 15:30 |
| brobostigon | thats it? | 15:30 |
| chippanfat | and it output about the sleep, power and mouse wheel buttons | 15:30 |
| brobostigon | anything else ? | 15:31 |
| chippanfat | nothing :( | 15:31 |
| brobostigon | also can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" | 15:32 |
| chippanfat | i cant copy from the vm :( another photobucket job xD | 15:33 |
| brobostigon | ohwell, only waybout it, | 15:33 |
| chippanfat | http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i249/efan1234/123.png | 15:33 |
| brobostigon | chippanfat: inthat case, i either would sayits not sharing the usb device properly, for ubuntu to pick it up. | 15:34 |
| chippanfat | I'll go and attempt to re-configue the vm :) | 15:36 |
| brobostigon | thats the only reason i can think of, that ubuntu cant see the usb drive, | 15:37 |
| chippanfat | yeahh :) | 15:37 |
| chippanfat | its found it on the servers if i do these commands :) | 15:37 |
| brobostigon | i amnot sure what you mean ? | 15:38 |
| chippanfat | those commands let me identify the usb's etc on the servers :) which arnt virtual machines :) | 15:40 |
| chippanfat | i just went and had a quick look now | 15:41 |
| chippanfat | to make sure that it is most likley the vmware on this comptuer for the usb's not being visible :) | 15:41 |
| brobostigon | i see, so thatsays to me,the VM is sharing the usb properly. | 15:41 |
| brobostigon | isnt* | 15:42 |
| chippanfat | i got confused then haha xD just kept reading that over and over :p | 15:43 |
| brobostigon | sorry. :) | 15:43 |
| chippanfat | haha :D | 15:44 |
| chippanfat | i've broken some of the networking files on the servers see xD | 15:44 |
| brobostigon | :( | 15:44 |
| chippanfat | so i've installed the vmware so i can get a fresh copy of them to copy over on the real servers | 15:44 |
| chippanfat | thtats my reason for woundering how to copy :) | 15:44 |
