[01:24] how can i cut my terminal in half so i have 2 different sessions running in the same window? [01:25] philipballew: if you use terminator you just right click and select how you want to split [01:25] unless you are asking for something else..... [01:25] i have gnome now though [01:26] terminator is a application [01:26] philipballew: or if using terminal just hit the file tab and select new tab [01:26] http://www.ubuntugeek.com/images/ter/3.png like this [01:27] that is terminator i know [01:27] philipballew: ok, so what is the problem? [01:27] philipballew: i just stated that you can do it with terminator so..... [01:27] is that doable in gnome terminal? [01:29] probably not === gpc is now known as IdleOne [01:31] philipballew: you need the application terminator [01:31] alright, ill look into it [04:45] 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 [04:54] bobweaver: might be best to try the kubuntu channel, i am not a kde user [04:55] thanks stlsaint will do [05:36] bobweaver, the splash screens are built into the initrd [05:37] Thanks bodhizazen I will look there [05:37] Easiest is to replace the original with the one you want, and then rebuild the initramfs [05:37] how would one do that [05:37] You can extract the initrd, swap out the splash image, and re-compress the initrd [05:38] bobweaver, well, I personally do it by running the debian-live scripts =) [05:38] lol [05:39] I wish I was that smart one day though :) [05:39] 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 [05:40] 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] But if you do not understand the process, hard to make use of all the automation, lol [05:40] sounds way cool [05:40] what should I study first assembly ? [05:41] bash [05:41] http://live.debian.net/manual/ro/html/live-manual.html [05:41] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/natty/man7/live-build.7.html [05:41] you will have to read the man pages, and understand what they are talking about, lol [05:42] bobweaver, start here: http://linuxcommand.org/ [05:42] bodhizazen, you are awesome thank you so much [05:43] I have been watching the old cbt courses and there are helpful but old and for red hat [05:45] well I got some reading to do thanks again [05:45] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man8/update-initramfs.8.html [05:46] http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/oneiric/man5/initramfs.conf.5.html [05:46] Those tools will automate the process, but you will need to look at the configuration files [05:48] good luck bob =) [05:50] thanks again bodhizazen Namaste [06:08] can someone help me compile software? [06:49] any 'bugs' person around here [08:16] bodhizazen: I did it thank you so much for the links I could never had done this with out you YES !!! === SuperHark is now known as MichealH === Bodsda_ is now known as Bodsda [10:58] 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] ere to begin even. Any pointers? [11:00] torzhan, what app are you using? [11:00] ibuclaw, on the phone i use mocha vnc lite [11:02] on the machine its the standard built in remote desktop [11:06] torzhan, ok, just trying it on my phone. =) [11:07] ibuclaw, Its good =) Abit laggy, cant handle the frames, but works great if you just switch songs etc [11:17] wicked. =) [11:17] hi from mobile [11:19] hi from machine ;) [11:20] torzhan, in Desktop Sharing [11:20] look at security options [11:20] You have: [11:21] - You must confirm each access [11:21] - Require password [11:21] the safer option would be to require password and just store the credentials on phone. [11:22] though you could have neither checked - but that's not very secure in the slightest =)) [11:27] Exactly [11:27] So what I want to do, is add an exception, or an IF rule to it [11:28] 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 [11:31] I don't think you can set this using the desktop sharing application itself [11:31] possibly have it as a firewall rule though [11:34] I think you just have to add it to the script that promts you [11:34] Should be pretty basic stuff [11:36] torzhan, if you use VNC just for playing music, try something console based like MOC or any MPD client with SSH [11:37] bioterror, I am REALLY new to this. MOC, MPD and SSH are new acronymns to me. But Ill give it a look [11:38] SSH = SecureShell [11:38] normal stuff for windows too [11:38] MOC is Music on Console, a text based music player supporting almost every music file format [11:38] that's what I use [11:38] MPD is a music player daemon [11:38] it's a library kind of thing which you can command remotely [11:39] many of my friends are MPD users [11:39] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell [11:39] http://moc.daper.net/ [11:39] http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Music_Player_Daemon_Wiki [11:41] Alright, right now I use Firefly(DAAP server) on my win desktop and just connect to it via Banshee from this machine [11:42] MPD works with iPhone? [11:43] at least 3 clients for iPhone [11:44] http://code.google.com/p/impdclient/ [11:45] bioterror, can you run MOC on win7 tho? [11:46] torzhan, probably with Cygwin :G [11:46] bioterror, that's embedded right? [12:01] 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 [12:03] torzhan, as you wish ;) [12:03] Thanks tho :) [12:04] XBMC can be used with web browser [12:05] looks nice, gonna check it out [12:06] seems like there's some iPhone/iPod remote clients too [12:07] Yeah I just checked, theres alot, and they look great [12:07] We might have a winner, gonna try to set this up [12:07] yeah, I use XBMC on my HTPC [12:07] Is the server function built in the program? [12:07] yes [12:07] :) [12:20] anyone know how to enable multiverse and multiverse repositories in ubuntu 11.04? [12:20] from synaptics for example [12:21] settings -> repositories -> [12:21] and when you are there, enable partner too ;) [12:22] Mate, < REALLY new :) synaptics? [12:22] Package manager? [12:22] yes [12:22] Win! [12:23] I am really worse in helping with regular ubuntu ;) [12:24] 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 ;) [12:26] Hm, getting a 404 error when trying to get the xbmc launchpad [12:27] http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_install_XBMC_for_Linux_on_Ubuntu,_a_Step-by-Step_Guide [12:27] I am following the guide [12:27] But it says it cant locate the standalone and the launchpad [12:31] ha [12:31] that's becouse there's only for 10.10 and below [12:32] hah [12:32] Great [12:32] but wanst you going to use it windows 7? [12:32] where is your music and stuff? [12:33] I understood it like that [12:33] The server is going to be on my win7 machine [12:33] THats where I got all the media [12:37] Ive got it working already through firefly and banshee [16:18] hi === Abhijit__ is now known as Abhijit [18:26] hi all [18:26] kristian-guest: hey! :) [18:26] trying to put Lubuntu on usb, using unetbooting and win [18:26] I get "errors found in 1 files" again and again [18:26] in what step? [18:27] did you confirm the md5 of the downloaded iso? [18:27] i usually format the stick before each unet attempt [18:27] yes, it was correct [18:28] kristian-guest: is it lubuntu 11.10 ? [18:28] maybe drop back to the latest alpha [18:28] no, 11.04 [18:28] kristian-guest: you could try the ubuntu tool, but you'd have to be in ubuntu [18:29] maybe see if you have the latest unet for windows [18:29] I do, installed it 5 mins ago [18:29] if the iso is good, then its windows or unet it seems [18:30] maybe step down to an older version of unet [18:30] this is not a bug [18:31] ? [18:31] kristian-guest: seems like it, but is it a linux lubuntu bug? [18:31] thats the question [18:31] kristian-guest: i would try http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/ [18:33] i think its safe to assume the lubuntu 11.04 iso is good [18:33] and if you properly confirm you have the iso DL'd with no errors [18:34] I did [18:35] hmm [18:35] pendrivelinux.com is down [18:35] kristian-guest: you did what? [18:35] check the DL [18:35] OH... yeah [18:35] www.linuxliveusb.com/en/download Will check the ISO and make a boot USB [18:36] Unit193: that iso is *not* hybrid right? [18:36] its the 11.10 ones that you can dd i believe [18:36] holstein: That is just a windows tool, not an ISO download [18:37] Unit193: right... i was just wondering if you knew off the top of your head when the iso's went hybrid [18:38] http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-11-10-Will-Be-Distributed-As-Hybrid-CD-USB-images-206765.shtml [18:38] Unit193: I was thinking of that too [18:38] yeah, 11.04 iso are not [18:39] what im proposing is that the iso is downloaded and checked and proper, so any errors would be with the tool [18:41] should I "hide created files on key" ?! [18:42] 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 [18:49] I'm trying again [18:54] I get a lot of "no such file or directory" on the translations [18:54] kristian-guest: when? [18:54] making the stick? [18:54] during the integrity check [18:55] did it pass? [18:55] still working [18:55] I guess error reports are made instantly [19:10] now it says 117 files [19:10] wt*`? [19:28] <[styx]> this may not be the right channel but ill ask anyway [19:29] <[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? [19:30] was it working before, or since u started it's like this ? [19:31] <[styx]> i dont clone that often [19:31] <[styx]> but last week it worked [19:33] i don't know really, i haven't tried git before, but i suppose it's like bzr and every thing [19:33] maybe it's the firewall? [19:34] i can't tell u to test cause ull probably have to restart if it's not === yofel_ is now known as yofel [19:35] <[styx]> lol [19:35] <[styx]> ok [19:35] <[styx]> ill search around more [19:36] u sure it freezes u even can't switch to tty1 and kill it ? [19:37] <[styx]> i cant don anything except move my mouse [19:37] <[styx]> no click or no alt + f2 [19:38] how about control+alt+F2 ? [19:39] lol, if he tries it he wont be able to come back, u come back by ctrl alt f8 btw, or f7 [19:39] coalwater: good point ;) [19:40] i think u killed him [19:40] :D [19:40] :/ [19:40] hope he can figure it out [19:43] i think we'll see a ping timeout sometime soon === julie101010_ is now known as julie101010 [19:47] <[styx]> lol [19:47] <[styx]> even if i did need a reboot [19:48] <[styx]> i wouldnt leave [19:48] <[styx]> because i have a bouncer [19:49] [styx]: are you able to get to tty ? [19:50] hey pedro3005 :D hi [19:50] hi [19:51] <[styx]> i havent tried yet [19:51] <[styx]> i dont feel like rebooting [19:51] like coalwater suggests, try going to tty when the system is hanging and kill whatever it is [19:52] [styx]: for me, control+alt+f7 is how i get back to the current graphical display [19:52] should be F7 to F8 [19:52] i think u should try sudo ufw disable , cause if u made the firewall deny outgiung it might be why it hangs [19:54] if you have a router firewall, it would be cool to try that as a test at home without any worry [19:55] <[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 [19:56] what error [19:57] 'here goes nothing' lol [19:58] <[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] hmmm... not sure about that [19:59] the few things ive used from git were not already on the system [19:59] and i remember trying to specifically *not* install them system-wide [19:59] 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 [20:00] 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] dont forget to re enable ur firewall [20:01] sudo ufw enable [20:03] <[styx]> yeah i did [20:04] ok, just making sure [20:29] back home... phew, that was an embarrasment :( [20:30] I feel guilty about all of linuxdom when stuff like that happens [20:30] * IAmNotThatGuy blinks [20:35] IAmNotThatGuy, dunno if you witnessed the Birth of Fail earlier on... getting a netbook to boot from USB [20:35] ah... thanks for explaining :) [20:42] I feel bad even talking about it [20:42] holstein, what was it you said about new boot stuff? [20:42] and, sorry for being a bit absent before, I had a lot of things to tend to [20:45] kristian-aalborg, real life really acts strange sometime. let me read the logs now and try to help you if I can [20:45] IAmNotThatGuy, I am no longer at the faulty situation [20:45] ah okies [20:46] the person and I are going to try and get our hands on an usb/cd device and try from there [20:50] Okay I am heading to beds. its 2:20 AM [20:50] night all [20:52] kristian-aalborg: the newer iso's are hybrid [20:52] from here on in AFAIK [20:52] http://news.softpedia.com/news/Ubuntu-11-10-Will-Be-Distributed-As-Hybrid-CD-USB-images-206765.shtml [20:53] hybrid means? [20:53] damn it took long [20:54] now we can just dd if=ubuntu-11.10.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M [20:54] yeah, its a good thing [20:54] no more unet or whatever manditory [20:54] hard to dd on win boxen [20:55] I like unetbootin [20:55] I like dd [20:55] so do I... I like a lot of software ;) [20:55] http://uranus.chrysocome.net/linux/rawwrite/ [20:55] I think they should go hand in hand... so that you can dd if you want and use a gui if you want [20:56] kristian-aalborg: thats where we are [20:56] sweet [20:56] you can just move the files [20:56] you can use unet still if you want [20:56] there's no need for unet :D [20:56] you can also bit copy with something other than dd [20:56] and half of the unetbootin's have not even worked :D [20:56] however, id did not work... tried three times... finally settled for that other app, as it made a "more correct" looking boot [20:57] id didnt work? [21:12] holstein, 3x unetbootin and 1x the other app... no workie [21:12] to make things worse, I've hyped Linux to this person for years :/ [21:13] try another distribution [21:13] or plain debian [21:13] or what ever [21:13] :D [21:14] bioterror, Lubuntu is really made-to-order for this situation [21:14] or whatever the term is... it's the perfect thing to use [21:20] kristian-aalborg: peppermintOS is lubuntu based [21:25] holstein, yes, that sounds like a neat little distro also... I just happen to know my way around Lubuntu enough to offer good support [22:42] so, this is weird... my *browser* dies periodically, but internet connection seems fine [22:42] browser is chromium [22:43] maybe try another browser to be sure [22:44] id probably look at a PPA like https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/stable [22:44] yeah, I'm going to fire up the fox the next time it happens ;) [22:45] im running 12.0.742.112 (90304) Ubuntu 10.04 [22:59] ok, so connection seems to get very bad instead of actually dying... I guess "less demanding stuff" like irc is still cool, though
