[11:26] re Welsh speaking at Hacio'r Iaith, they're working on getting translation gear in there for non-Welsh speakers [13:23] afternoonings all. [13:47] * Kaia is gutted she can't go to Hacio'r Iaith, stupid exam [13:51] :( [13:53] I have an exam at 2pm [13:54] i see. not good, :( [13:56] I just invited one of my lecturers to Hacio'r Iaith :) [13:58] :) [13:58] My lecturer was one of the people who wrote the app to learn Welsh on the Iphone [13:58] cool. :) [13:59] http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/news/archive/2009/august/title-77816-en.html [14:01] Adrian [14:01] :) [14:43] 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] its one of the things i've never done xD [14:44] chippanfat: df -h -T ,to find the mount point. [14:44] been looking on the interwebz for a while but i've found nothing [14:44] I'll give it a try now :) [14:45] chippanfat: and then use "cp" to copy the files to the mountpoint of that drive, [14:45] ahhh :/ it cant find anything :( [14:45] chippanfat: paste the output of df -h -T [14:46] and is the usb drive mounted,can yousee it in nautilus? [14:46] 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 ¬.¬ [14:47] ok. [14:49] http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i249/efan1234/df.png [14:49] you'll have to excuse, i done the df command twice :p [14:50] noworries :) [14:51] chippanfat: your usb isnt mounted, ok, get the /dev of it with "fdisk -l" [14:52] right ok :) [14:52] nothing has apeard when i do the df command again [14:53] so not even "/ root "shows up ? [14:56] nope :/ [14:56] I've got /dev/sda1 [14:57] that shouldnt be possible,because youcant have a running syste,m without root. [14:57] which show the size of the HDD but thats about it [14:57] :/ i dont think it would matter that its in a virtual machine either [14:57] same as a real system inreal terms. [14:58] yeahh :) [14:58] yeahh :) [14:58] i'll resort to install the xubuntu desktop :P [14:59] chippanfat: that doesnt solve the problem, it could make it more complex. [14:59] or break things more, [14:59] its just so i can drag and drop :) [14:59] i've been trying to be good and run the servers just in command line see :) [14:59] I dont do a good job of it though xD [15:00] 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] ahhh :/ [15:01] i'll keep googling :) [15:01] so trying to install xfce could complicate things even more, [15:01] chippanfat: reboot it, and try again. [15:01] okiedokie :) [15:03] chippanfat: and is the virtual machine setto share the usb with the system inside the virtual machine? [15:04] yeahh :) it shares the virtual drives and usb's :) ohhh, and with a bridged net connection [15:04] ok, [15:04] what is the output of fdisk -l [15:06] You'll have to give me a bit xD the vm is doing something wanky :p [15:06] ok, [15:06] can you define wanky? [15:07] clarify? [15:08] sorry :P seven is doing the whole "not responding" thing on the vmware [15:08] i'm just waiting for the proccess to terminate :) [15:09] ok. [15:10] chippanfat: iwillbrb, just need to wet my whistle. [15:11] okiedokie :) [15:16] back, :) [15:18] chippanfat: ok, back, :) [15:19] hiya :) [15:19] just restarting the vm :) [15:19] ok, :) [15:22] fdisk -l dosent pull anything up :/ [15:22] but it does complete the command with no error [15:23] chippanfat: dmesg | grep /dev [15:23] chippanfat: dmesg | grep usb [15:24] registered new usb interface :) [15:25] ok, what oes the first output ? [15:28] http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i249/efan1234/usb.png [15:28] want me to "DF" it again? :) [15:29] dmesg | grep /dev [15:30] adding 407548k swap on /dev/sda5 [15:30] thats it? [15:30] and it output about the sleep, power and mouse wheel buttons [15:31] anything else ? [15:31] nothing :( [15:32] also can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [15:33] i cant copy from the vm :( another photobucket job xD [15:33] ohwell, only waybout it, [15:33] http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i249/efan1234/123.png [15:34] chippanfat: inthat case, i either would sayits not sharing the usb device properly, for ubuntu to pick it up. [15:36] I'll go and attempt to re-configue the vm :) [15:37] thats the only reason i can think of, that ubuntu cant see the usb drive, [15:37] yeahh :) [15:37] its found it on the servers if i do these commands :) [15:38] i amnot sure what you mean ? [15:40] those commands let me identify the usb's etc on the servers :) which arnt virtual machines :) [15:41] i just went and had a quick look now [15:41] to make sure that it is most likley the vmware on this comptuer for the usb's not being visible :) [15:41] i see, so thatsays to me,the VM is sharing the usb properly. [15:42] isnt* [15:43] i got confused then haha xD just kept reading that over and over :p [15:43] sorry. :) [15:44] haha :D [15:44] i've broken some of the networking files on the servers see xD [15:44] :( [15:44] so i've installed the vmware so i can get a fresh copy of them to copy over on the real servers [15:44] thtats my reason for woundering how to copy :) [15:44] we can try and fix them if you want. [15:44] its literally from setting a static ip xD [15:45] i see. [15:45] I'll email the files to my self xD [15:45] nice simple fix then :D [15:45] :) [15:51] Right, i must dash :) gotta go pick my father up from work :( [15:51] thankyou for your help :) :D xoxoxoxo [15:51] youre welcome, bye chippanfat :) [18:06] helo chippanfat [18:06] Hey :) [18:06] :) [18:06] you'll have to bear with me a sec :) need a shower xD [18:06] :) [18:24] Helloo ^_^ [18:24] :) [18:24] finally got that server working :) [18:25] copied all the networking files from the other server :p [18:25] :) [18:25] thats good, [18:25] :D need to get a file server and a lamp server on the go see :) [18:26] i keep breaking them :P i think vmware server 2 is the way forward somehow :p [18:26] :) [18:26] least I cant break the physical machine and its just a case of deleting and staring again :p [18:27] i am always here, if you need help. :) [18:27] :D [18:27] I'm doing my best to make this channel my second home ! :D [18:28] i found this irc client for windows called Xchat and i've taken to the GUI :) so its constantly on in the corner of my screen :p [18:28] chippanfat: #unity-coders are very nice aswell.
