initializeSo I wrote a shell script for bash ( http://codepad.org/Daamvs4E ). It works through ./scriptname.sh (except it appears that sudo isn't working), but trying to run it through a launcher only gives a blank terminal with nothing executing. Any help please?01:07

initializeWhat do you mean?01:13
initializeI didn't know I had to do anything in init.d to run a launcher01:14

mrothhhwere can I get a xen based xubuntu applaince21:17
crangosHello. I am a bit confused with a problem I ran into trying xubuntu from a USB drive. Can someone lend me a hand?23:03
Sysii need both hands for typing, but pope a question and somebody maybe will ansver23:05
crangosWhen booting I get the message about localhost.localdomain missing.23:06
crangosI am now trying to edit /etc/hosts as quite a few forum posts tell to.23:06
crangosUnfortunately the only text editor I seem to be able to start is vi... no fun.23:07
crangosBut to edit, I have to use sudo, as far as I understand.23:07
crangosBut I have no clue what the password is.23:07
charlie-tcawhat is the password you log in? that will be the same password23:08
charlie-tcado not type it here, please23:08
crangosHow do I know that? i just started Xubuntu from the USB drive without installing, it never asks me to type one.23:09
crangosIt must be the standard password for the user "ubuntu".23:09
charlie-tcathen there isn't one,23:09
charlie-tcajust type sudo vi /etc/hosts   and hit enter23:10
Sysiyou tried nano?23:11
Sysihow did you made the usb stick?23:11
crangosTwo errors. One about the missing localhost.localdomain, one about "can't mkdir /var/lib/sudo" no space on device, and when entering no password it tells me that "ubuntu" is not in the list of sudoers.23:11
crangospendrivelinux23:11
crangosWorked great on my Desktop, but on the laptop it started acting up.23:11
crangosAs for nano: "Error opening terminal: unknown"23:14
charlie-tcaSysi: would it have written defaults for the desktop, and now can't be changed to a different machine?23:14
Sysii don't know how those live-thingies work23:14
Sysi"today's" method is unetbootin or usb-creator23:14
crondyep unetbootin works fine23:15
crondI just used it this morning to do an install23:15
crondjust grab it and the latest 10.10 iso, or use the xubuntu / 10.10 livecd option in unetbootin23:16
crangosThe laptop won't have internet, and the internet connection I have right now is so slow it would take me at least a couple hours to download a new iso, thats why I hopened I could somehow resolve it to at least do some testing.23:18
crangosBut thanks anyway! :)23:19
crondnp :)23:19
