[01:11] hi [03:40] hello? [05:11] hi all [07:15] hey, any body knows how to create offline repo? [07:18] aztek: for which system? [07:19] i copy revo prom dvd to my box... [07:28] i ccopy repo from DVD to my box and i wanna make off line repo... [07:31] Hello, I don't want to make a data CD. I have Ubuntu 10.10 and Windows XP. I typically use Windows Media Player to write CDs and Nero to write DVD. I am wondering is there a way to fit more time then 80 minutes on a CD with data that can fit with in 700 MB using either Ubuntu or Windows XP? [07:32] I meant as audio, sorry. === TheDaniel0108 is now known as Daniel0108 === Puck`_ is now known as Puck` [10:50] http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=1096938 It would take a special CD player. I am not sure if that's the only way, but I looked at a few links I Googled. Bye [15:46] bleacbit, Y U take forever?! [15:48] i love bleachbit :D [15:49] me too [15:49] but should it take half an hour? [15:49] on a regular, even smallish desktop system? [15:54] any body know how make local repo in hdd? [16:26] aztek, how do you mean? [16:26] kmandla dabbled in it some years ago [16:28] i have just copied ubuntu natty repo from my friend, i don't know how to use it... [16:31] the entire repo? [16:31] yup... [16:32] there are folders dists and pool... [16:37] it's much easier to just use the internet [16:37] also, fresher files [16:38] and sorry, no I don't know [16:40] i just have limited connection, so i wanna use it.. [17:01] holstein: [17:02] Error404NotFoun1: hey... whats up? [17:02] nothing much, having problems... [17:02] when i boot ubuntu my mouse dont work for several minutes after boot [17:03] logitech performance mx [17:03] and then it works? [17:03] without issue? [17:04] yep [17:04] does it on 2 diff computers [17:04] 3 different installs of ubuntu [17:04] might just take that long for something to load i suppose [17:04] bluetooth? [17:05] no bt [17:05] yeah.. who knows [17:05] if it were me, id just wait [17:05] if its just a few minutes [17:05] devices like that can literally *never* work, or have decent support [17:06] you could probably find a more development minded person, and ask about what gets loaded when and why and trouble shoot getting it to load faster [17:07] Error404NotFoun1, a regular wired mouse? [17:08] http://reviews.logitech.com/7061/5845/logitech-performance-mouse-mx-reviews/reviews.htm [17:12] hi, I got lucid and an external usb dvd-drive [17:13] how can I identify which device it is to blank a dvdrw medium with cdrecord /dev/mycdrom blank=fast [17:13] sorry , cdrecord dev=/dev/mycdrom blank=fast [17:14] hudo: i usually just try auto-complete and guessing [17:14] i suppose you could right click on the icon on the desktop and gather some info, or maybe navigate there in nautilus or cd around and ls [17:25] i think my ufw is blocking empathy's file transfers, any idea what port/app i should allow ? [17:44] ok ill have to figure that later lol [18:08] hello all [18:09] guitar: welcome. Feel free to ask questions in here and be patient :) [18:10] I am...i see you everywhere [18:10] ha [18:10] okay...i have a pc at work with internet, but the one at home isn't online [18:11] i want to download programs from this pc and transfer to the one at home [18:11] there doesn't seem to be a "save file" option [18:12] KNo201 has been investigating the issue, but my PC doesn't have a Disc burner, but it does have a flash [18:12] sorry...usb port so i can use my flash drive [18:15] guitar: you have 2 ubuntu boxes? [18:16] one without internet? [18:16] right [18:16] depending on what you want to install, that could be challenging [18:16] totally do-able though [18:16] so i'm told [18:16] let me give you the process in broad strokes [18:16] say you want something like vlc... you would look for something like vlc.deb [18:17] you also need *all* the dependancies [18:17] thats the tricky part depending on how many dependanies [18:17] there are programmers who work on ubuntu...right [18:17] you might consider downloading whatever the ubuntu equvialent is to the 6 DVD's (or whatever) debian has [18:18] you can then point synaptic to use those discs for software instead of the online repositories [18:18] AFAIK, you can also make a disc like that for your 'no internet' box [18:19] holstein...you lost me at vlc :) [18:19] guitar: if it were me... i would go to a freinds house with internet, plug it in, and do what needs to be done [18:19] you're right of course [18:19] guitar: you'll need to have an alternate source [18:19] that could be a DVD [18:20] my pc here doesn't even have a burner [18:20] http://aptoncd.sourceforge.net/ for example [18:20] guitar: you'll need to do something... burn a CD, make a USB volume... plug it in [18:20] i was reading about ubuntu last night [18:20] this is linux... everything is open and freely available, so the answer is "yes" [18:21] you just need to choose how you want to proceed [18:21] i would like to drop this idea in the suggestion box [18:22] guitar: ?? [18:22] what idea? [18:22] apt-on-cd is one way [18:22] it's a caviot...not much needed in the wired world, but [18:22] the other way is to download what you want on to DVD [18:22] i also type slow [18:22] sorry [18:22] theres already several ways to do it [18:23] the issue is... i havent needed to do it that way [18:23] ok [18:23] i used a CD as a repo once [18:23] can i use a flash drive? [18:23] apt on flash [18:23] not a lot of us on the internet are going to have an excuse other than morbid curiosity to have tried it [18:23] since we are online [18:23] right...the digital divide [18:24] i live on the other side of the tracks..so to speak [18:24] metaphorically of course [18:24] guitar: i can most assuradly say yes, you can [18:24] you can take a CD/DVD image if needed, and put that on the USB drive [18:24] how [18:25] you just use an image file instead of an actual piece of plastic [18:25] talk me through it please [18:26] i would check out [18:26] http://www.planetoss.com/detail.php?id=13 [18:27] guitar: just read that by the way.. dont go copying and pasting [18:27] thats an old post... some of it would need to be modernized [18:27] ok...and i appreciate your time [18:27] this is more current [18:27] http://basicubuntu.blogspot.com/2009/02/install-on-ubuntu-without-internet.html [18:28] you know what I like about this chat room? [18:28] it saves all the info [18:28] yeah.. officially logged :) [18:28] how long does it stay [18:28] good question... i think the goal is always [18:29] perfect...i was getting so much info from so many people and it sorta..you know [18:30] guitar: well, like is said, most of us havent had that need, so its theoretical to me [18:30] i know its do-able though... ive talked to folks who have done it [18:31] no issues as long as you dont need newer software than what is on the image you have [18:31] and, you can always burn or make a new archive with newer pacakges [18:31] ok...i'll check it out [18:31] thanks holstein [18:32] guitar: sure... good luck, let us know how it goes [18:32] can anyone help with a KINO issue ? [18:35] DodgyDave: whats the issue?... you might need to track down a kino channel [18:40] when I start Kino and try to capture video, all I get is a black screen. The red record button isn't lit so I cant capture any video [18:41] i would say #ubuntustudio, but i would skip that channel and go right to the ubuntustudio mailing list [18:41] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-studio-users its actually quite active, and there are a few video folks [18:42] maybe #mythbuntu? [18:42] DodgyDave: other than the obvious stuff like double checking the connections and configs, not sure whatelse [18:43] I seem to remeber seeing something about having to put a command in the terminal to make it work [18:44] relating to your specific hardware? [18:54] no Kino in general === hudo_ is now known as hudo === tsimpson_ is now known as ts2 [19:47] anyone streaming TV? [19:47] I'm thinking there might be some small app... looking for legal stuff, of course [20:15] Hi, I need to use LAMP server for offline php-development. [20:15] I know absolute nothing from ip, dhcp,server, ports etc. [20:15] Does somebody knows a crashcourse for noobs ? [20:16] well are you looking to have a localhost etc? [20:16] With a database etc? [20:17] I just want to offline experimenting with PHP, all extraas scare me but whats necessary I will do. [20:17] Well if you wanna play with PHP just play with it lol [20:17] You shouldn't need all kinds of junk to practice coding [20:18] How can I run my code. I have now a /var/www but (copied php-examples) still don't work. [20:18] Ok what all have you done? [20:18] Let's start with that [20:19] Installed LAMP, Apache, PHP5 & requirements. [20:19] Hmmm ok [20:19] All tuts expect I know something about internet connections [20:20] I just want to program & leave connections aside [20:20] Indeed [20:20] Which is localhost programming [20:21] Program, display it on your machine in a web browser to see what it looks like etc [20:21] You mean, the examples I tried ? [20:21] No i'm talking about actual coding [20:21] You want to try coding well how are you going to view it when you have say a webpage coded [20:22] You'll need to view it in a web browser on your machine ;) [20:22] That exactly my point [20:23] I did but only html-part works, no php-signs [20:23] What's your code? [20:23] That you're trying to view [20:24] Something like this (on html-file) : [20:25] & with a menu in menu.php [20:25] pastebin it please [20:26] Okay, one moment please [20:26] :) [20:39] http://jsfiddle.net/zWpka/ [I used the javaScript-block for the menu.php] [20:44] zkriesse: Had to restart 2 times so give the link again : http://jsfiddle.net/zWpka/ [20:45] E3D3: what are you using to edit your code? [20:45] Now Kate text-editor [20:46] Im in Linux Mint, thought every editor is okay [20:46] Like to use gEdit to [20:48] I placed the .html & .php in /var/www/ & another instance of my browser popped up ? Had to kill its process [20:48] hmm [20:49] Argh [20:49] I'm soooo sorry but i gotta run! [20:49] Thanks, & run [20:49] Just wait and you should get helped though :) [20:50] :'( [21:13] http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/229187/30_days_with_ubuntu_linux_day_1.html [21:13] this is an interesting read [21:15] kristian-aalborg, I am going to read it! :) [22:08] Hi, Im in SuperOS & my Update Manager has 450 update. Only want updating one. How can I unceck the other 449 (not manually) ? [22:09] E3D3: i would just go to synaptic, and search for the package you want to update, and mark it to be updated... hit apply [22:10] It cant, there's no update option there ? [22:11] I only can remove it with synaptic. [22:11] you 'right-click' on the package [22:11] theres a 'mark for upgrade' option [22:11] Did [22:11] No [22:12] you'll have to take a screen shot of that then [22:12] maybe you have a rev'd verion of synaptic that im unaware of [22:12] Where can I paste that screenshot ? [22:13] i usually use http://imagebin.org/index.php?page=add [22:15] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=722130 [22:15] this thread says that sudo apt-get install package name will check to see if the latest version is installed, and offer to upgrade [22:15] Cant make a screenshot with right-mouse window, used the PrtSc-key, other ways to try ? [22:16] I try the terminal command [22:16] E3D3: well, thats not the issue [22:16] what are you trying to upgrade? [22:16] opera browser [22:17] how about just unchecking all [22:17] and just go and check opera [22:17] Than I lose my configuration/addons etc ?? [22:18] im not following... [22:18] My update manager has >450 update I dont want & no uncheck all, fun ;-) [22:18] Guess you talk about the update manager [22:18] i think you can right click there too and select none? [22:18] theres an option... pretty sure [22:18] im not using 11.04 though [22:19] Must be, I'll try r-click there. === yofel_ is now known as yofel [22:20] powers out [22:20] gotta shut down [22:20] bbl [22:20] R-click there did it, if I knew that before. Not use to that. Feel so stupid (& tirred) [22:31] Can someone tell this noob an easy way to learn to program PHP offline ? [22:33] E3D3: hey... i didnt lose power :) [22:34] i like these guys http://www.w3schools.com/php/default.asp [22:34] you can always archive it locally i supose [22:36] Hi holstein, you helped me nice but I as far as when I started this morning. [22:37] hey... it could be worse... you could have broken something and be worse off ;P [22:37] Right, but I broken my little brain. [22:38] PHP coding seems so easy that I wish how to start. [22:38] I know JavaScript, looks familiar [22:39] I already read most of the w3schools php-part. It dont talk how to build an offline envirenment for it. [22:40] OH... any LAMP would probably do [22:40] holstein: Do you think that I'm too stupid or nagging. [22:40] check out http://www.turnkeylinux.org/lampstack [22:41] you could run that in virtualbox [22:41] I have LAMP installed but know nothing about servers, ip etc [22:41] E3D3: i dont think that... [22:41] Lost in all those terms that has nothing to do with PHP [22:41] E3D3: i say, just take it slow... start with "whats my ip" [22:41] you can open a terminal and run [22:42] ifconfig [22:42] that'll give you the IP of the box you are on [22:42] your not trying to serve a box out to the internet, so this'll be easier 'in theory' [22:43] This is a different OS then I used 1 hour ago so have to find my VirtualBox first [22:43] i run test servers like that in virtualbox in bridged networking mode, and the guests get an IP from the local router [22:45] hmm I first have to install VirtualMachine in this OS. Already get lost in bridged ... & local router, Im never thought about that things [22:45] E3D3: those turnkey appliances i linked actually run well live or installed [22:46] the normal setup in virtualbox is to share your network [22:46] SO the guest doesnt get its own IP [22:47] Whow man, this doesn't say anything to me, Im really an connection noob [22:47] thats usually just fine, BUT, if you want to have a test server available, you use 'bridged adapter' [22:47] E3D3: google around, or ask me questions... whatever it takes [22:47] you'll need to absorb it somehow [22:47] IF you want a test server in Vbox to be available on your network [22:47] thats how you do it [22:48] i did a presenation the other day at my LUG on turnkey linux and other servers and thats what i did [22:51] Maybe I should have asked for a internet beginners study instead of offline php programming ? [22:51] E3D3: this might be a nice resource for you [22:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetAndNetworking [22:52] * holstein needs to try and catch a nap... BBL [22:54] Thanks man, iguess thats better than asking endlessly. But its huge info, do I need all that seriously ? [22:55] May I tell you something private, not sure how to do that. /msg name message ? [22:55] E3D3: correct. [22:56] tenach: Thanks [22:56] No problem. :) [23:09] alright, I just set up a box for my sis [23:09] I got Ooo, media players etc etc [23:10] some Tux games for the kids [23:42] halp halp halp [23:42] I mailed someone a bunch of rar files, an archive in multiple parts [23:43] now this person has to unpack them.... what software should I suggest, I guess he is on XP or Vista or 7 [23:43] my heart says 7zip, but winrar might be better, right? [23:43] kristian-aalborg: winrar [23:44] if hes using vista or 7 he shouldnt need extra software [23:50] yes, I recall winrar as being pretty solid [23:51] I packed this with the rar command fwiw [23:54] I linked to both, said start with Winrar
