[00:31] <philipballew> How can I put a time line in my terminal to see when an error happened?
[01:52]  * phillw hiyas guys, dapenguin is having a problem with torrenting... any one up to help help him?
[01:54] <dapenguin> thank you, phill!   very kind of you, sir! :)
[01:54] <nlsthzn-at-work> what is the issue
[01:55] <dapenguin> ok, i can try to explain as simply and as brief as possible but i'm not very adept at it so bare with me, please?
[01:56] <dapenguin> i tried vuze and then transmission in linux and i could not d/l any torrent
[01:56] <dapenguin> i got the error msg:
[01:56] <dapenguin> Error Requested download is not authorized for use with this
[01:56] <dapenguin> > tracker.
[01:56] <dapenguin> happens almost automatically
[01:56] <dapenguin> then i tried the same in windows using vuze and no problem
[01:59] <nlsthzn-at-work> dapenguin: are you using a firewall?
[02:00] <dapenguin> i don't think so
[02:01] <dapenguin> would be software-based if i was ... how can i tell?
[02:02] <dapenguin> i doubt i am using a firewall... i usually opt out of installing that when i install th eos
[02:02] <nlsthzn-at-work> in ubuntu in terminal you can type sudo ufw status
[02:02] <dapenguin> os
[02:02] <dapenguin> unless it installs by default?
[02:02] <dapenguin> sudo ufw gives status of firewall?
[02:02] <nlsthzn-at-work> you are using Ubuntu?
[02:03] <dapenguin> was
[02:03] <dapenguin> i booted up windows to do my test
[02:03] <nlsthzn-at-work> but the issue you are having is in Ubuntu?
[02:03] <phillw> dapenguin: for things like torrenting, this is about the best place to be, you will just have to be patient.
[02:04]  * nlsthzn-at-work is no expert but will gladly try an assist till to pro's show up :p
[02:04] <dapenguin> n1sthz, yes
[02:04] <dapenguin> i'm using mirc in windows so it's a pain typing and i don't know how to use it
[02:07] <nlsthzn-at-work> well, from what I could learn online this error could mean a ports issue (which is why I asked about the firewall) but usually means an issue on the trackers side... but seeing as Windows have no issues that rules that out :/
[02:08] <nlsthzn-at-work> if you didn't activate the firewall in Ubuntu it will still be off...
[02:09] <dapenguin> i check, how?
[02:10] <nlsthzn-at-work> well... in ubuntu in a terminal you can type sudo ufw status
[02:10] <dapenguin> i would figure ports would make sense but that would mean linux does smth different compared to windows?
[02:10] <nlsthzn-at-work> if it is enabled you can use sudo ufw disable
[02:10] <dapenguin> i'm in windows right now d/l
[02:10] <dapenguin> i copied the command so i can try later
[02:10] <dapenguin> what if it's disabled, then what?
[02:11] <nlsthzn-at-work> I have to go now... night shift is over...  good luck, hope you get it sorted!!
[02:11] <nlsthzn-at-work> come back here and ask and give info like firewall is disabled...
[02:11] <nlsthzn-at-work> easier for next person to trouble shoot ;)
[02:11] <nlsthzn-at-work> cheers
[02:11] <dapenguin> ok
[05:50]  * nlsthzn waves
[05:52]  * philipballew high-fives!
[05:52] <nlsthzn> :)
[05:53] <nlsthzn> did your friend get his torrents going?
[05:53] <philipballew> why yes!
[05:53] <nlsthzn> awesome
[05:54] <philipballew> the internet connection is really bad today so its slow but managed
[05:59] <CrOnOs2000> zzzz lucid torrents are so slow today
[06:11] <yvan300> hey fellas :)
[06:11] <bioterror> hi
[06:12] <yvan300> its been a while! a lot of new ppl here
[06:17] <g3rdi> error (initramfs) cpL: cant start '/custom-installation/third=override/*': No such file or directory mount: mounting /dev/loop0 .... please help im super keen to use ubuntu i really cant take another day with this flipping mac!
[06:17] <g3rdi> I get this straight after the ubunut loading page in a cmd like interface
[06:21] <CrOnOs2000> mmmm what did you do ? compile a new kernel maybe?
[06:23] <g3rdi> nooooo
[06:23] <CrOnOs2000> ok is a fresh install then?
[06:24] <g3rdi> yeah .. i am installing from vm tools
[06:25] <g3rdi> l have done this before with 10.10 and it worked
[06:25] <g3rdi> then got a new pc ...and mac for work ( <- life ruiner ) and tried 11.04
[06:27] <CrOnOs2000> hoo you are on the new version, sorry but i havent try that still on 10.04 but it seems the kernel cant find the initramfs
[06:29] <g3rdi> i want the initramfs! i need the initramfs ( *gir voice) ... i cant be the only one with this oproblem can i ? I have searched but have not come up with anything
[06:29] <CrOnOs2000> normaly there is no need for initramfs but if you want to load some kernel modules when kernel is loaded it use initramfs for some reason seems your system did not make the file
[06:32] <CrOnOs2000> let me check if you can run the comand on terminal, i know if you update the grub the script will run and remake the initramfs but wait a bit
[06:33] <g3rdi> ok cool
[06:37] <CrOnOs2000> dpkg-reconfigure [linux-image-2.6.18-3-686] <- your kernel, you can try this
[06:38] <g3rdi> do i enter in all that text?
[06:39] <CrOnOs2000> you enter sudo dpkg-reconfigure and your kernel number you can get the kernel number by typing uname -a
[06:40] <CrOnOs2000> im now on win 7 , i have not access to a terminal
[06:41] <CrOnOs2000> this comand will try to regenerate the initramfs in case yours had some problem the first time
[06:42] <g3rdi> it says sudo:not found. I think im doing this wrong. The cmd has "(initramfs)" instead of the $user thing that is normally with terminal
[06:44] <CrOnOs2000> ok then you never really boot into your system you get initramfs comand line
[06:44] <g3rdi> yeah there is a list of cmds i can use but it seems pretty limited
[06:47] <CrOnOs2000> do you have the recovery option from grub when you boot ??
[06:50] <g3rdi> no i dont see it in the cmds when i type "help"
[06:52] <CrOnOs2000> well seems you can mount your system by hand but seems complex, best bet is to boot as single user then uninstall vmtools
[06:54] <CrOnOs2000> OMG my internet realy sucks pages dont even load zzzzzzzzzzzzz
[06:55] <g3rdi> yeah , i think thats the way to go, i was trying to keep a VM for photoshop but you know what , stuff it! if adobe doesnt want to make a version of thier software for linux then .. thier lost
[06:55] <CrOnOs2000> Hold down the Shift key during bootup, when the grub menu shows up select Recovery Mode.
[06:55] <g3rdi> cool Thanks!
[06:56] <CrOnOs2000> im shure vmtools can be installed but i dont know how havent use vmware a lot
[06:57] <g3rdi> i think i am going to make the move to gimp
[06:58] <g3rdi> and ink
[07:00] <CrOnOs2000> well they are free so you dont pay
[07:00] <g3rdi> :)
[07:01] <CrOnOs2000> did you try crosover?
[07:01] <g3rdi> whats that?
[07:02] <CrOnOs2000> is a paid version of wine, wine kind of a emulator of windows so you can run win apps on linux
[07:08] <alex__> back modem reset
[07:08] <alex__> wtf my nick
[07:43] <g3rdi> the trouble was with vm tools. I dl virtualbox and the inastall worked!! pretty keen to try out crossover though. then get ubuntu as the primary .
[07:44] <g3rdi> oh my .. so excited!!! 11.04 sweet! no more questioning the reason why you can only resize a window from the bottom right hand corner in mac.
[07:44] <g3rdi> :0
[07:53] <nlsthzn> g3rdi: enjoy the natty narwhal :)
[09:06] <g3rdi> can anyone suggest good opensource screencast prgrams for ubuntu?
[10:10] <g3rdi> how do i add my graphics card?
[10:10] <philipballew> to what?
[10:10] <bioterror> you open the case
[10:10] <bioterror> and you plug it into a correct AGP port
[10:10] <bioterror> or PCI something
[10:11] <g3rdi> no i mean how do i add it to ubuntu?
[10:11] <g3rdi> it says i cant support unity but i have a gforce card
[10:12] <bioterror> geforce what?
[10:12] <philipballew> so your really asking how do i get my (insert card name model and what not) to display unity gui
[10:12] <bioterror> support for older NVidia cars has been dropped
[10:13] <M0hi> bioterror: He said Gforce card =P buy a new card for him dude =D
[10:13] <g3rdi> bioterror: its not that old
[10:14] <g3rdi> 9800 series
[10:15] <g3rdi> can i get unity to work any other way?
[10:15] <philipballew> ill look on the forms now
[10:15] <philipballew> hold on
[10:16] <philipballew> did you go to restricted drivers?
[10:16] <g3rdi> no
[10:16] <bioterror> go for them
[10:16] <philipballew> okay! this should work
[10:16] <g3rdi> where?
[10:16] <g3rdi> im a n00b
[10:17] <philipballew> system>
[10:17] <philipballew> adminiatration i think
[10:17] <philipballew> if not then ill do it via terminal with you
[10:17] <g3rdi> i got additional drivers
[10:17] <philipballew> open it :)
[10:18] <g3rdi> ok .. its seraching for drivers
[10:18] <g3rdi> ...none .. I am working on a virtualbox
[10:18] <philipballew> lets see if it does anything.
[10:18] <philipballew> your on virtualbox... hum
[10:19] <philipballew> what virtual software
[10:19] <g3rdi> yeah .. for now .. to ease the transition
[10:19] <philipballew> vmware?
[10:19] <philipballew> virtualbox?
[10:19] <philipballew> parells?
[10:19] <g3rdi> and at work we a retarded business rule saying we have to work on macs , but im just going to vm, its for the network or something stupid
[10:20] <g3rdi> virtualbox
[10:20] <philipballew> i have a virtual box install of osx myself
[10:20] <g3rdi> "we *have a"
[10:20] <philipballew> i recall virtualbox started supporting unity a few months back
[10:20] <philipballew> what version are you running of vbox
[10:21] <philipballew> and your on what main os?
[10:22] <g3rdi> win7 /  vbox 4.1.0

[18:44] <Nubi1Kenobi]> I figured it out
[23:23] <frank> does anyone know how to set up a network between a linux pc and a macbook laptop? im trying to transfer my music and cant figure this out
[23:32] <CrOnOs2000> frank, do you know what protocol mac use on network?
[23:36] <frank> CrOnOs2000: im gunna say no
[23:36] <frank> CrOnOs2000: mostly cuz i dont even know what that means
[23:37] <CrOnOs2000> ok on your ubuntu box did you try the share option on nautilus (file manager)
[23:38] <frank> CrOnOs2000: no cuz im not really sure how
[23:38] <CrOnOs2000> by the way how do you conect the 2 machines? by router or what
[23:39] <frank> CrOnOs2000: the two machines have never been connected. thats what im trying to do. my linux pc has all my muaic and i want some on my macbook
[23:40] <CrOnOs2000> ok if you have a home network for internet access you can enable windows sharing on the mac
[23:41] <frank> CrOnOs2000:that i do have. though i dont know much about it
[23:41] <frank> CrOnOs2000: in my room i have a wireless router for my mbp and a hard line running to my pc
[23:42] <CrOnOs2000> try this http://forum.parallels.com/showthread.php?t=17647
[23:46] <frank> i was looking at this...http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-networking-for-basic-and-advanced-users.html
[23:46] <frank> but im a bit lost
[23:49] <CrOnOs2000> ok you dont really need all that
[23:50] <CrOnOs2000> ubuntu will make almost automatic that config
[23:50] <CrOnOs2000> first go to your mac and activate windows file sharing
[23:57] <frank> ok let me figure outhow to do that
