=== RedW is now known as RedM === RedM is now known as RedW === RedW is now known as RedM [03:13] Do I need Internet to install CLI? [03:16] CLI = Command Line Interface [03:17] It should be part of your Ubuntu install [03:17] I'm trying to install a CLI on an older notebook. [03:17] Do you have Ubuntu installed on the notebook? [03:17] not yet. [03:18] When you install Ubuntu it will be included [03:18] But I'm trying to only install a CLI to make sure the older computer will run Ubuntu. [03:19] cli is part of the os [03:19] so...I don't think you can just slap it on there [03:19] what are the specs johnny77 [03:21] I don't know. The old windows installation was corrupted and I don't remember. [03:22] ok, so just try it! [03:22] if it works, then it works, if not, then it doesn't [03:22] try an older version if you're that worried about it [03:52] Does anyone know how to set up a connection to the internet via the command line? [03:58] It is possible but via the GUI is easier [03:58] Is there a reason you want to do it via the CLI? [03:59] i want to do something similar to "cat file.txt | sed x y" where x was a line return and y was a space. What's the command for that? [04:00] ifconfig [04:01] man ifconfig to learn more about it but it is not something I would normally recommend using on a beginners channel [04:02] Sullija722: I installed a CLI only ubuntu. I need to set it up to connect to my network so that I can download a GUI. [04:03] try wicd-curses [04:04] jcollierdavis: not installed. [04:05] which ubuntu are you using? [04:05] i just did this same thing last week [04:07] I downloaded the latest alternative CD and preformed a "Install a command-line system" [04:08] i missed the first part of your Q. could you transfer it to that machine if you had it on another? [04:10] jcollierdavis: Here is what I did. I took an old notebook and installed a CLI to be sure it would run Ubuntu. I forgot the specifications. (And for the fun and experience) [04:11] Now I am trying to set up the network so that I can install other software. [04:12] i installed on a usb but had an ethernet connection at the time [04:13] jcollierdavis: I tried to set it up during installation, but it was not working. [04:13] that sucks is it a LAN or wireless? [04:13] wireless through a router to a cable modem [04:15] take a look at this http://www.ghacks.net/2009/04/14/connect-to-a-wireless-network-via-command-line/ [04:15] YMMV I've never tried it myself [04:16] what does your /etc/network/interfaces say? [04:19] johnny77 the link Sullija722 provided works [04:20] jcollierdavis: I'm working through it now. [04:20] Sullija722: thank you. [04:20] good luck [04:20] if you're not trying to use WEP or WPA it's pretty straightforward [04:29] I'm screwed. I keep getting not installed messages. === IdleOne is now known as _IdleOne [04:31] are you on a different machine where you could just transfer the deb onto a usb and then onto the target computer? === _IdleOne is now known as IdleOne [04:40] how do I get the debs from the repository? [04:44] johnny77: you want to get them manually from the repository? you can get them from the website [04:44] ddecator: How and what website? [04:44] johnny77: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [04:45] select your ubuntu version, select the category (or "all packages" at the bottom), find the package name, click the link, and there should be a link to the deb [04:46] ddecator: got it downloaded to a thumb drive. [04:47] johnny77: trying to connect to a wireless network on a server? [04:48] ddecator: no, I thought I'd have a bit of fun and try to install a CLI to an old notebook. I got the CLI, but can't connect to my network to get a GUI. :) [04:49] ah, gotcha. well the link Sullija722 posted looks just like what i had to do on my server after getting wpa-supplicant installed by using a thumbdrive, so it should work for you [04:49] ddecator: is there something special I need to do to mount the thumbdrive? [04:51] johnny77: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB#Manually%20Mounting [04:56] johnny77: check out wicd-curses [04:57] holstein: not installed. :) [04:57] yeah, you'd have to take it over [04:57] on the USB stick [04:57] Thanks you guys have been most helpful. [04:57] and dpkg it [04:57] ive been meaning to try and get away with a CLI only install [04:58] on my old asus EEE [04:58] holstein: other than setting up the internet it went well. [04:59] johnny77: thats what im unsure about [04:59] connecting wifi in command line [05:01] how do I install a program from the terminal? [05:01] dpkg'll do it [05:01] let me find a wiki link.. [05:03] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware [05:03] yeah [05:03] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware#Installing downloaded packages [05:03] :) [05:08] johnny77: "sudo dpkg -i blah.deb" when you're in the directory [05:10] thanks again.

Is it ok to do it with gparted. [07:05] Gemunu: gparted it the tool to do it [07:06] yep .bt how to add / [07:06] but is this your current running live system or on another machine [07:06] yep this is ma live system [07:07] well, if you want to alter / [07:07] I recommend you use the live cd [07:07] !parted [07:07] how can I add /home 60 gb [07:08] Factoid 'parted' not found [07:08] !fdisk [07:08] Factoid 'fdisk' not found [07:08] my my that bot needs teaching [07:08] !gparted [07:08] gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [07:09] ok I already have a one [07:09] how to do it .. well there are several ways [07:09] my layout looks like this: [07:09] shal I send u a screen shot of ma system [07:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/572954/ [07:11] http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7607669/desktop/gparted.png [07:13] this is ma system [07:13] http://gemunu.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/screenshot.png [07:14] wan to add 60 gb [07:16] you used a different tool [07:16] that is not gparted [07:16] it is palimpsest [07:17] and cannot grow or shrink a live system [07:17] I would call on synaptic and search: gparted [07:17] to install it [07:18] yep I knw that. [07:18] it would be right under palimpsest [07:18] i sent it just to understand u [07:18] easy [07:18] now you can grow / [07:19] but be prepared for emergencies [07:19] so a backup is recommended [07:20] in gparted you can drag a partition to its new location and resize it too [07:21] but how can grow exactly the /home [07:23] well it is mounted now [07:23] so you need to unmount it [07:23] and you cant [07:23] as you are logged in [07:24] therefore, /home and / need to use a live cd [07:24] ok [07:24] pls tel me the steps just for now [07:24] go on..# [07:25] http://gemunu.wordpress.com/?attachment_id=639 [07:26] boot livecd, make sure the partitions are not mounted, then start gparted, and choose to move / resize [07:26] eh resize/move [07:28] hmmm, maybe is between starting and resizing you want to select the partition first ;) [07:28] oh and label the partitions, it makes it so much easier [07:29] will there any boot problems in future? [07:29] after this addition [07:30] well as you have seen from my setup, I choose a small starting partition for /boot [07:30] it only holds grub and the kernels [07:31] and, if you go really advanced, the encryption variables to make it possible to encrypt the rest of the partitions [07:31] can u explain this using this http://gemunu.wordpress.com/?attachment_id=639 [07:32] yes [07:32] first, I would delete the swap partition [07:32] then? [07:32] it can be recreated at the end of the disk, in an extended partition space [07:33] but that can be done later [07:33] ok [07:34] then pls tel me how to add /home 60 gb [07:34] then I would move your remaining / partition out of the way, so you have space for a proper primairy /boot partition [07:35] mine cruutently takes up 40 MB of space with 2 installed kernels [07:35] but give it a bit of extra space, so you can swap kernels [07:35] 128 mb for /boot would be great [07:36] then / is in your extended partition space, so you move it back till right after you new primairy /boot partion space [07:37] resize / till the end of the disk [07:37] eh resize the extended partition space till the end of the disk [07:37] and then grow / to the desired size [07:38] my current / uses 50 GB [07:38] but that is much [07:39] then create a new partition at the end of the disk for your swap space, make a few mbs more than your internal memory size [07:40] and then create a new partition for /home filling the rest of the remaining space [07:40] done [07:40] thanx [07:41] veryyyyyy much [07:41] now you can format the new partitions [07:41] will there any boot up probs [07:41] and mount them [07:42] for /boot, you need to reinstall grub [07:42] if you copy /boot from your current / to the new /boot [07:43] !grub [07:43] grub is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub2 for Karmic onwards. [07:44] if correct that would be [07:44] grub-install /dev/sda3 [07:45] but that depends on your newly created partition you have for /boot [07:56] hello, i'm helping my cousin, he installed 10.10 on his external hard disk and he got error so the installation was not finish [07:56] the saddest thing is all his impotant files was there. [07:56] could we retrieve or recover it? [07:57] nothing much to do if you have removed partition and then started to install over it [07:57] ofcourse you can try to play with testdisk [07:58] but I think these are the moments when you learn from the mistake [08:07] well there are file recovery tools, but those are hard to work with, and some will be overwritten [08:08] I often have the feeling, learning to work te recovery software almost takes as much time as to rewrite the content lost [08:55] bioterror,UndiFineD, thanks for reponse guys. I hope the partition was not over written. === RedM is now known as RedW [09:50] Cld anyone help me with this? "Makefile:5: buildsys.mk: The file or folder does not exist make: *** No rule for creating "buildsys.mk". Halts" :3 === yofel_ is now known as yofel [13:55] hello guys . greetings from Germany [13:55] hi [15:12] Well met. [15:14] good day fox [15:14] o/ [15:17] as far as i know we didnt meet yet ... so ill have to introduce myself: NRWlion from Germany (just putting up a wikipage ;) ) [15:19] if you install packages with apt-get, will you have problems using aptitude? [15:19] Good to meet you NRWlion :-) I am usually about, so if you need anything just send a message. My wiki page NRWlion - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Silver_Fox [15:20] heard that you are one of the mvp here [15:20] ;) [15:20] I am in the process of setting up ruby and rails on my ubuntu 10.10 machine and used apt-get to install build_essential, git-core and curl [15:21] jrasmussen_u: should make not any difference to either application. [15:21] instead of using aptitude (which I had just installed previously using apt-get) ... I just didn't know [15:21] so I don't need to remove with apt-get and reinstall those with aptitude? [15:21] confusing me! [15:22] jrasmussen_u: correct. If you installed with apt-get it is fine. You can go back and forth between aptitude and apt-get without problems [15:22] also, I read about gtkorphan ... have you used that? [15:22] I am not familiar with gtkorphan [15:23] thx for your help... I will continue on with the installation [15:23] You are welcome [15:23] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/aptitude [15:23] mentioned here [15:24] I don't want to bog my new ubuntu installation down with a bunch of unnecessary features -- but I want it to work correctly. [15:25] hm, aptitude requires apt-get, as I recall [15:25] keep reading about conflicts [15:26] yes... but once installed it seems like they want you to use it pretty much extensively... my next install will be RVM... and I don't want any conflicts! [15:26] It becomes a choice of each user. If they are aptitude users, they will insist on it. If they are apt-get users, they will insist on it instead [15:27] Aptitude does a little better cleanup on removals [15:27] it seems like you use apt-get to install aptitude and then are to use aptitude from then on. So, I was wondering if I should use apt-get to remove the 3 packages I just installed and re-install them with aptitude [15:27] nope [15:28] Installation is the same no matter which one you use [15:28] but, I don't know the best way to do that... I see [15:28] ok [15:28] I will just leave it and use aptitude to install from now on... like for rvm [15:29] okay [15:29] I am trying to follow http://ryanbigg.com/2010/12/ubuntu-ruby-rvm-rails-and-you [15:29] an another article that mentions this article [15:30] anyway, thanks again... I will be back if I run into any roadblocks! [15:30] There will be articles for both. Debian now tells its users to use apt-get [15:30] right [15:30] so, it is not 'cut and dried' -- figures [15:30] Last year it told users to use aptitude [15:30] * charlie-tca shrugs [15:31] thx [15:31] I will go on and hope for the best [15:32] As far as any system is concerned, the operating system does not care [15:32] oh... what is Synaptic Package Manager exactly? And how does it relate the the Ubuntu Software Center? I know... another question! [15:33] The original installer was apt-get. then aptitude was developed to make apt-get easier. Synaptic Package Manger was created to allow even easier package installation and removal. They all use the same backends [15:34] apt-get and aptitude are command line applications, synatpic is a GUI application (gtk) [15:34] oh ok... so I can go in there and view my packages ... see what is going on. That seems to be about what the gtkorphan package does... [15:34] *synaptic [15:36] ok [15:36] as for software center - SC only shows "applications" and hides library packages etc. Synaptic and apt* will show you all existing packages. [15:36] being a windows user for year, gui is nice... [15:36] but I don't have to have it [15:36] *years and years... [15:36] for a new user, Software Center is usually enough - synaptic get's confusing quickly [15:37] (depending on what you want to do) [15:37] my first computer had only ms-dos on it... so command line is something I *have* used.... [15:37] well, I want to learn all I can about the OS and running it efficiently === sre-su_ is now known as sre-su [15:39] thanks so much for the information -- I am so glad you are here! [16:59] gem install vagrant give me an error -- ERROR: Failed to build gem native extension. [17:00] so, is this ubuntu-related? Or, is this related to Ruby? [17:07] jrasmussen_u: ruby [17:07] i havent messed with ruby in some time but im sure there are some gem packages that you need to install [17:19] thx [17:19] am updaing the gems I already have installed... [17:19] I wonder how I would figure out what is missing? [17:20] maybe they have a channel for ruby gems... I will look [17:29] jrasmussen_u: best to check repositories [17:34] jrasmussen_u, Howdy. You doing it outside of the engine yard stuff?

[18:23] some1 on the mailist available? [18:23] jledbetter: here is what I get when I try 'gem install vagrant' -- https://gist.github.com/846377 [18:26] jrasmussen_u, Tried saying which version with -v 0.6.9 ? [18:26] NRWlion: sup [18:27] sup? [18:27] NRWlion: you asked if someone on the mailing list was available....im on mailing list and i am saying what is it that you are wanting to ask?? [18:27] jledbetter: yep ... no go [18:28] oh, just wanted to ask whether my mail came through [18:28] I wonder if I will need to use virtualbox 3.2.x and ruby 1.8.7 ... that is what I had to do the first time [18:28] already got an answer [18:28] then I reinstalled the os and am having to start over --- and trying to remember just what I did. Andy had me install and point to the earlier ruby [18:28] jrasmussen_u, I haven't run into the problem but pathing is coming to mind. Maybe those versions, sure. But I did the default on 10.10 too so hm. [18:28] but, I shouldn't have to [18:29] I thought that as well [18:29] but, don't know enough about ubuntu to figure out how to fix it [18:29] 64? [18:30] a little knowledge is a dangerous thing!!! Yes amd64 [18:31] anyway, I may have to set the ruby default to 1.8.7 [18:31] and go back to virtualbox 3.2.x [18:31] will go get that now I guess [18:31] jrasmussen_u, Was it the same error when you did -v 0.6.9? [18:32] Well, hopefully the 3.2.x virtualbox will do it. So odd. Makes me wonder if there's a bug report out there. I'm new to the ruby stuff on Ubuntu, as you know, so not sure where to poke. [18:32] yes [18:35] I think I will try ruby 1.8.7 first and not change the virtualbox yet [18:36] worth a try [18:37] Ok [18:38] i am really liking ubuntu but I have so much to learn [18:40] jrasmussen_u, welcome to the club ... started about a week ago :D [18:40] Glad to hear you dig it :) [18:40] https//wiki.ubuntu.com/nrwlion [18:40] there u have my story ;) [18:42] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/nrwlion it is [18:44] jledbetter: I installed ruby 1.8.7 and had to rvm use 1.8.7 before gem install vagrant would work [18:44] NRWlion: thx [18:44] now to see how far I get on the rest... like engineyard [18:47] when I click to download the vagrant.zip... it wants me to select either Archive Manager or save file... any idea what is best? [18:47] safe the file first [18:47] so you dont need to download it again [18:47] what is Archive Manager I wonder?
