| philipballew | how can i cut my terminal in half so i have 2 different sessions running in the same window? | 01:24 |
|---|---|---|
| stlsaint | philipballew: if you use terminator you just right click and select how you want to split | 01:25 |
| stlsaint | unless you are asking for something else..... | 01:25 |
| philipballew | i have gnome now though | 01:25 |
| stlsaint | terminator is a application | 01:26 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: or if using terminal just hit the file tab and select new tab | 01:26 |
| philipballew | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/images/ter/3.png like this | 01:26 |
| philipballew | that is terminator i know | 01:27 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: ok, so what is the problem? | 01:27 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: i just stated that you can do it with terminator so..... | 01:27 |
| philipballew | is that doable in gnome terminal? | 01:27 |
| philipballew | probably not | 01:29 |
| === gpc is now known as IdleOne | ||
| stlsaint | philipballew: you need the application terminator | 01:31 |
| philipballew | alright, ill look into it | 01:31 |
| bobweaver | Any one know anything about Making a splash screen for kubuntu ? I have tried downloading a a tar file changing all the permissions then changing out the pictures and renaming the new pictures to what the old ones are then re-taring it still nothing | 04:45 |
| stlsaint | bobweaver: might be best to try the kubuntu channel, i am not a kde user | 04:54 |
| bobweaver | thanks stlsaint will do | 04:55 |
| bodhizazen | bobweaver, the splash screens are built into the initrd | 05:36 |
| bobweaver | Thanks bodhizazen I will look there | 05:37 |
| bodhizazen | Easiest is to replace the original with the one you want, and then rebuild the initramfs | 05:37 |
| bobweaver | how would one do that | 05:37 |
| bodhizazen | You can extract the initrd, swap out the splash image, and re-compress the initrd | 05:37 |
| bodhizazen | bobweaver, well, I personally do it by running the debian-live scripts =) | 05:38 |
| bobweaver | lol | 05:38 |
| bobweaver | I wish I was that smart one day though :) | 05:39 |
| bodhizazen | Not sure exactly how to do it in Ubuntu, google search how to extract and then re-compress the initrd, it is just an archive, not too hard | 05:39 |
| bodhizazen | The debian live scripts are the way to go, but, as with iptables, you sort of need to understand the basics first, then the live-build scripts automate the whole process | 05:40 |
| bodhizazen | But if you do not understand the process, hard to make use of all the automation, lol | 05:40 |
| bobweaver | sounds way cool | 05:40 |
| bobweaver | what should I study first assembly ? | 05:40 |
| bobweaver | bash | 05:41 |
| bodhizazen | http://live.debian.net/manual/ro/html/live-manual.html | 05:41 |
| bodhizazen | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man7/live-build.7.html | 05:41 |
| bodhizazen | you will have to read the man pages, and understand what they are talking about, lol | 05:41 |
| bodhizazen | bobweaver, start here: http://linuxcommand.org/ | 05:42 |
| bobweaver | bodhizazen, you are awesome thank you so much | 05:42 |
| bobweaver | I have been watching the old cbt courses and there are helpful but old and for red hat | 05:43 |
| bobweaver | well I got some reading to do thanks again | 05:45 |
| bodhizazen | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/update-initramfs.8.html | 05:45 |
| bodhizazen | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man5/initramfs.conf.5.html | 05:46 |
| bodhizazen | Those tools will automate the process, but you will need to look at the configuration files | 05:46 |
| bodhizazen | good luck bob =) | 05:48 |
| bobweaver | thanks again bodhizazen Namaste | 05:50 |
| philipballew | can someone help me compile software? | 06:08 |
| coalwater | any 'bugs' person around here | 06:49 |
| bobweaver | bodhizazen: I did it thank you so much for the links I could never had done this with out you YES !!! | 08:16 |

| torzhan | Hi! (running 11.04). I set up the remote desktop function so I can access the machine from my phone. It works great, and I like the function that I get promted when someone tries to access the machine remotely. What I want to do however is to add an exception so that the machine recognizes the macID of my phone so I dont need to use the comp to allow access. I am brand new to Ubuntu and linux, so I really have no sense of wh | 10:58 |
| torzhan | ere to begin even. Any pointers? | 10:58 |
| ibuclaw | torzhan, what app are you using? | 11:00 |
| torzhan | ibuclaw, on the phone i use mocha vnc lite | 11:00 |
| torzhan | on the machine its the standard built in remote desktop | 11:02 |
| ibuclaw | torzhan, ok, just trying it on my phone. =) | 11:06 |
| torzhan | ibuclaw, Its good =) Abit laggy, cant handle the frames, but works great if you just switch songs etc | 11:07 |
| ibuclaw | wicked. =) | 11:17 |
| ibuclaw | hi from mobile | 11:17 |
| torzhan | hi from machine ;) | 11:19 |
| ibuclaw | torzhan, in Desktop Sharing | 11:20 |
| ibuclaw | look at security options | 11:20 |
| ibuclaw | You have: | 11:20 |
| ibuclaw | - You must confirm each access | 11:21 |
| ibuclaw | - Require password | 11:21 |
| ibuclaw | the safer option would be to require password and just store the credentials on phone. | 11:21 |
| ibuclaw | though you could have neither checked - but that's not very secure in the slightest =)) | 11:22 |
| torzhan | Exactly | 11:27 |
| torzhan | So what I want to do, is add an exception, or an IF rule to it | 11:27 |
| torzhan | if"this macid" allow instant access. That way I could connect anytime to it, and still have the same security features if someone else is trying to log on | 11:28 |
| ibuclaw | I don't think you can set this using the desktop sharing application itself | 11:31 |
| ibuclaw | possibly have it as a firewall rule though | 11:31 |
| torzhan | I think you just have to add it to the script that promts you | 11:34 |
| torzhan | Should be pretty basic stuff | 11:34 |
| bioterror | torzhan, if you use VNC just for playing music, try something console based like MOC or any MPD client with SSH | 11:36 |
| torzhan | bioterror, I am REALLY new to this. MOC, MPD and SSH are new acronymns to me. But Ill give it a look | 11:37 |
| bioterror | SSH = SecureShell | 11:38 |
| bioterror | normal stuff for windows too | 11:38 |
| bioterror | MOC is Music on Console, a text based music player supporting almost every music file format | 11:38 |
| bioterror | that's what I use | 11:38 |
| bioterror | MPD is a music player daemon | 11:38 |
| bioterror | it's a library kind of thing which you can command remotely | 11:38 |
| bioterror | many of my friends are MPD users | 11:39 |
| bioterror | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell | 11:39 |
| bioterror | http://moc.daper.net/ | 11:39 |
| bioterror | http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon_Wiki | 11:39 |
| torzhan | Alright, right now I use Firefly(DAAP server) on my win desktop and just connect to it via Banshee from this machine | 11:41 |
| torzhan | MPD works with iPhone? | 11:42 |
| bioterror | at least 3 clients for iPhone | 11:43 |
| bioterror | http://code.google.com/p/impdclient/ | 11:44 |
| torzhan | bioterror, can you run MOC on win7 tho? | 11:45 |
| bioterror | torzhan, probably with Cygwin :G | 11:46 |
| torzhan | bioterror, that's embedded right? | 11:46 |
| torzhan | bioterror, I dont think that will work with my current network setup. Ill get a media server later running ubuntu, by then it will most likely work great with MOC. But I dont think its the solution right now | 12:01 |
| bioterror | torzhan, as you wish ;) | 12:03 |
| torzhan | Thanks tho :) | 12:03 |
| bioterror | XBMC can be used with web browser | 12:04 |
| torzhan | looks nice, gonna check it out | 12:05 |
| bioterror | seems like there's some iPhone/iPod remote clients too | 12:06 |
| torzhan | Yeah I just checked, theres alot, and they look great | 12:07 |
| torzhan | We might have a winner, gonna try to set this up | 12:07 |
| bioterror | yeah, I use XBMC on my HTPC | 12:07 |
| torzhan | Is the server function built in the program? | 12:07 |
| bioterror | yes | 12:07 |
| torzhan | :) | 12:07 |
| torzhan | anyone know how to enable multiverse and multiverse repositories in ubuntu 11.04? | 12:20 |
| bioterror | from synaptics for example | 12:20 |
| bioterror | settings -> repositories -> | 12:21 |
| bioterror | and when you are there, enable partner too ;) | 12:21 |
| torzhan | Mate, < REALLY new :) synaptics? | 12:22 |
| torzhan | Package manager? | 12:22 |
| bioterror | yes | 12:22 |
| torzhan | Win! | 12:22 |
| bioterror | I am really worse in helping with regular ubuntu ;) | 12:23 |
| torzhan | Well its hard to help in text :) since got no idea of my previous exp, but from now on, assume I just learned to press the power button ;) | 12:24 |
| torzhan | Hm, getting a 404 error when trying to get the xbmc launchpad | 12:26 |
| bioterror | http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu,_a_Step-by-Step_Guide | 12:27 |
| torzhan | I am following the guide | 12:27 |
| torzhan | But it says it cant locate the standalone and the launchpad | 12:27 |
| bioterror | ha | 12:31 |
| bioterror | that's becouse there's only for 10.10 and below | 12:31 |
| torzhan | hah | 12:32 |
| torzhan | Great | 12:32 |
| bioterror | but wanst you going to use it windows 7? | 12:32 |
| bioterror | where is your music and stuff? | 12:32 |
| bioterror | I understood it like that | 12:33 |
| torzhan | The server is going to be on my win7 machine | 12:33 |
| torzhan | THats where I got all the media | 12:33 |
| torzhan | Ive got it working already through firefly and banshee | 12:37 |

| kristian-guest | hi all | 18:26 |
| holstein | kristian-guest: hey! :) | 18:26 |
| kristian-guest | trying to put Lubuntu on usb, using unetbooting and win | 18:26 |
| kristian-guest | I get "errors found in 1 files" again and again | 18:26 |
| holstein | in what step? | 18:26 |
| holstein | did you confirm the md5 of the downloaded iso? | 18:27 |
| holstein | i usually format the stick before each unet attempt | 18:27 |
| kristian-guest | yes, it was correct | 18:27 |
| holstein | kristian-guest: is it lubuntu 11.10 ? | 18:28 |
| holstein | maybe drop back to the latest alpha | 18:28 |
| kristian-guest | no, 11.04 | 18:28 |
| holstein | kristian-guest: you could try the ubuntu tool, but you'd have to be in ubuntu | 18:28 |
| holstein | maybe see if you have the latest unet for windows | 18:29 |
| kristian-guest | I do, installed it 5 mins ago | 18:29 |
| holstein | if the iso is good, then its windows or unet it seems | 18:29 |
| holstein | maybe step down to an older version of unet | 18:30 |
| kristian-guest | this is not a bug | 18:30 |
| kristian-guest | ? | 18:31 |
| holstein | kristian-guest: seems like it, but is it a linux lubuntu bug? | 18:31 |
| holstein | thats the question | 18:31 |
| holstein | kristian-guest: i would try http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ | 18:31 |
| holstein | i think its safe to assume the lubuntu 11.04 iso is good | 18:33 |
| holstein | and if you properly confirm you have the iso DL'd with no errors | 18:33 |
| kristian-guest | I did | 18:34 |
| kristian-guest | hmm | 18:35 |
| kristian-guest | pendrivelinux.com is down | 18:35 |
| holstein | kristian-guest: you did what? | 18:35 |
| kristian-guest | check the DL | 18:35 |
| holstein | OH... yeah | 18:35 |
| Unit193 | www.linuxliveusb.com/en/download Will check the ISO and make a boot USB | 18:35 |
| holstein | Unit193: that iso is *not* hybrid right? | 18:36 |
| holstein | its the 11.10 ones that you can dd i believe | 18:36 |
| Unit193 | holstein: That is just a windows tool, not an ISO download | 18:36 |
| holstein | Unit193: right... i was just wondering if you knew off the top of your head when the iso's went hybrid | 18:37 |
| holstein | http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-11-10-Will-Be-Distributed-As-Hybrid-CD-USB-images-206765.shtml | 18:38 |
| kristian-guest | Unit193: I was thinking of that too | 18:38 |
| holstein | yeah, 11.04 iso are not | 18:38 |
| holstein | what im proposing is that the iso is downloaded and checked and proper, so any errors would be with the tool | 18:39 |
| kristian-guest | should I "hide created files on key" ?! | 18:41 |
| holstein | i would be using it for that, and then wiping it, so i wouldnt, but if you plan on using it as a live stick for long term, and other data, that might not be a bad idea | 18:42 |
| kristian-guest | I'm trying again | 18:49 |
| kristian-guest | I get a lot of "no such file or directory" on the translations | 18:54 |
| holstein | kristian-guest: when? | 18:54 |
| holstein | making the stick? | 18:54 |
| kristian-guest | during the integrity check | 18:54 |
| holstein | did it pass? | 18:55 |
| kristian-guest | still working | 18:55 |
| kristian-guest | I guess error reports are made instantly | 18:55 |
| kristian-guest | now it says 117 files | 19:10 |
| kristian-guest | wt*`? | 19:10 |
| [styx] | this may not be the right channel but ill ask anyway | 19:28 |
| [styx] | when ever i try to git clon something my whole system freezes | 19:29 |
| [styx] | and im forced to reatart | 19:29 |
| [styx] | any help? | 19:29 |
| coalwater | was it working before, or since u started it's like this ? | 19:30 |
| [styx] | i dont clone that often | 19:31 |
| [styx] | but last week it worked | 19:31 |
| coalwater | i don't know really, i haven't tried git before, but i suppose it's like bzr and every thing | 19:33 |
| coalwater | maybe it's the firewall? | 19:33 |
| coalwater | i can't tell u to test cause ull probably have to restart if it's not | 19:34 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| [styx] | lol | 19:35 |
| [styx] | ok | 19:35 |
| [styx] | ill search around more | 19:35 |
| coalwater | u sure it freezes u even can't switch to tty1 and kill it ? | 19:36 |
| [styx] | i cant don anything except move my mouse | 19:37 |
| [styx] | no click or no alt + f2 | 19:37 |
| holstein | how about control+alt+F2 ? | 19:38 |
| coalwater | lol, if he tries it he wont be able to come back, u come back by ctrl alt f8 btw, or f7 | 19:39 |
| holstein | coalwater: good point ;) | 19:39 |
| coalwater | i think u killed him | 19:40 |
| coalwater | :D | 19:40 |
| holstein | :/ | 19:40 |
| coalwater | hope he can figure it out | 19:40 |

| [styx] | even if i did need a reboot | 19:47 |
| [styx] | i wouldnt leave | 19:48 |
| [styx] | because i have a bouncer | 19:48 |
| holstein | [styx]: are you able to get to tty ? | 19:49 |
| coalwater | hey pedro3005 :D hi | 19:50 |
| pedro3005 | hi | 19:50 |
| [styx] | i havent tried yet | 19:51 |
| [styx] | i dont feel like rebooting | 19:51 |
| holstein | like coalwater suggests, try going to tty when the system is hanging and kill whatever it is | 19:51 |
| holstein | [styx]: for me, control+alt+f7 is how i get back to the current graphical display | 19:52 |
| holstein | should be F7 to F8 | 19:52 |
| coalwater | i think u should try sudo ufw disable , cause if u made the firewall deny outgiung it might be why it hangs | 19:52 |
| holstein | if you have a router firewall, it would be cool to try that as a test at home without any worry | 19:54 |
| [styx] | kk | 19:55 |
| [styx] | here goes nothin | 19:55 |
| [styx] | i have to elave anyway so its all good lol | 19:55 |
| [styx] | yay i don freeze but get an error lol | 19:55 |
| coalwater | what error | 19:56 |
| coalwater | 'here goes nothing' lol | 19:57 |
| [styx] | fatal: destination path 'emerald' already exists and is not an empty directory. | 19:58 |
| [styx] | just need to remove the directory | 19:58 |
| [styx] | im cloning emerald from git | 19:58 |
| holstein | hmmm... not sure about that | 19:58 |
| holstein | the few things ive used from git were not already on the system | 19:59 |
| holstein | and i remember trying to specifically *not* install them system-wide | 19:59 |
| holstein | i would probably RTFM a bit more before rm /whatever/emerald and hitting the button | 19:59 |
| [styx] | well ill figure this out later | 19:59 |
| [styx] | i have to go | 19:59 |
| holstein | OR, at least have a backup of it, and know how to recover | 20:00 |
| [styx] | all the things i do to get emerald on unity lol | 20:00 |
| [styx] | 11.04* | 20:00 |
| [styx] | thnkas for the help guys | 20:00 |
| coalwater | dont forget to re enable ur firewall | 20:00 |
| coalwater | sudo ufw enable | 20:01 |
| [styx] | yeah i did | 20:03 |

| kristian-aalborg | back home... phew, that was an embarrasment :( | 20:29 |
| kristian-aalborg | I feel guilty about all of linuxdom when stuff like that happens | 20:30 |
| * IAmNotThatGuy blinks | 20:30 | |
| kristian-aalborg | IAmNotThatGuy, dunno if you witnessed the Birth of Fail earlier on... getting a netbook to boot from USB | 20:35 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | ah... thanks for explaining :) | 20:35 |
| kristian-aalborg | I feel bad even talking about it | 20:42 |
| kristian-aalborg | holstein, what was it you said about new boot stuff? | 20:42 |
| kristian-aalborg | and, sorry for being a bit absent before, I had a lot of things to tend to | 20:42 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | kristian-aalborg, real life really acts strange sometime. let me read the logs now and try to help you if I can | 20:45 |
| kristian-aalborg | IAmNotThatGuy, I am no longer at the faulty situation | 20:45 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | ah okies | 20:45 |
| kristian-aalborg | the person and I are going to try and get our hands on an usb/cd device and try from there | 20:46 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | Okay I am heading to beds. its 2:20 AM | 20:50 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | night all | 20:50 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: the newer iso's are hybrid | 20:52 |
| holstein | from here on in AFAIK | 20:52 |
| holstein | http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-11-10-Will-Be-Distributed-As-Hybrid-CD-USB-images-206765.shtml | 20:52 |
| coalwater | hybrid means? | 20:53 |
| bioterror | damn it took long | 20:53 |
| bioterror | now we can just dd if=ubuntu-11.10.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M | 20:54 |
| holstein | yeah, its a good thing | 20:54 |
| holstein | no more unet or whatever manditory | 20:54 |
| kristian-aalborg | hard to dd on win boxen | 20:54 |
| kristian-aalborg | I like unetbootin | 20:55 |
| bioterror | I like dd | 20:55 |
| kristian-aalborg | so do I... I like a lot of software ;) | 20:55 |
| holstein | http://uranus.chrysocome.net/linux/rawwrite/ | 20:55 |
| kristian-aalborg | I think they should go hand in hand... so that you can dd if you want and use a gui if you want | 20:55 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: thats where we are | 20:56 |
| kristian-aalborg | sweet | 20:56 |
| bioterror | you can just move the files | 20:56 |
| holstein | you can use unet still if you want | 20:56 |
| bioterror | there's no need for unet :D | 20:56 |
| holstein | you can also bit copy with something other than dd | 20:56 |
| bioterror | and half of the unetbootin's have not even worked :D | 20:56 |
| kristian-aalborg | however, id did not work... tried three times... finally settled for that other app, as it made a "more correct" looking boot | 20:56 |
| holstein | id didnt work? | 20:57 |
| kristian-aalborg | holstein, 3x unetbootin and 1x the other app... no workie | 21:12 |
| kristian-aalborg | to make things worse, I've hyped Linux to this person for years :/ | 21:12 |
| bioterror | try another distribution | 21:13 |
| bioterror | or plain debian | 21:13 |
| bioterror | or what ever | 21:13 |
| bioterror | :D | 21:13 |
| kristian-aalborg | bioterror, Lubuntu is really made-to-order for this situation | 21:14 |
| kristian-aalborg | or whatever the term is... it's the perfect thing to use | 21:14 |
| holstein | kristian-aalborg: peppermintOS is lubuntu based | 21:20 |
| kristian-aalborg | holstein, yes, that sounds like a neat little distro also... I just happen to know my way around Lubuntu enough to offer good support | 21:25 |
| kristian-aalborg | so, this is weird... my *browser* dies periodically, but internet connection seems fine | 22:42 |
| kristian-aalborg | browser is chromium | 22:42 |
| holstein | maybe try another browser to be sure | 22:43 |
| holstein | id probably look at a PPA like https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/stable | 22:44 |
| kristian-aalborg | yeah, I'm going to fire up the fox the next time it happens ;) | 22:44 |
| holstein | im running 12.0.742.112 (90304) Ubuntu 10.04 | 22:45 |
| kristian-aalborg | ok, so connection seems to get very bad instead of actually dying... I guess "less demanding stuff" like irc is still cool, though | 22:59 |
