[08:26] !dyndns [08:26] Factoid 'dyndns' not found [08:26] get your computer static ip address [08:26] or use dyndns or something else [08:26] !next [08:26] Factoid 'next' not found [08:27] bioterror, what if my router does not have the option to register a dyndns account? [08:27] you do it manually [08:27] and get yourself a better router [08:27] !info ddclient [08:27] its on the to-do list. [08:31] should I also remind you to add port forwarding too? [08:32] bioterror, no. port 2222 i think im gona use [08:32] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DynamicDNS [08:32] found this! [08:33] Why is OpenDNS on that list? [08:35] idk Unit193 [09:05] Hello. [09:05] Howdy [09:05] Hello Unit193 [12:21] I am having a problem with a western digital hard drive. I have plugged it in and it is definitely powered up and spinning but it is not coming up when I plug it in. It isn't coming up on gparted either... any help would be much appreciated. [12:23] Do you see it when you open a terminal and run the following command? sudo fdisk -l [12:23] That's dash lowercase L, not minus 1 [12:26] no it doesn's [12:26] *doesn't [12:28] Ok, so how is it connected? IDE/PATA, SATA, ESATA, USB, Firewire? [12:28] usb [12:28] lsusb [12:29] you see it ? [12:30] hold on will pastebin results [12:30] Is it an external cabinet containing a SATA or IDE disk? or just a regular USB harddrive? [12:30] It doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me [12:30] is this a masscool ?? [12:30] http://www.masscool.com/ [12:31] it's just a regular 1tb usb hard drive [12:31] Ok, those should just work without any fuzz :/ [12:31] http://pastebin.com/SgvYurA8 [12:32] which one is it [12:32] # [12:32] Bus 001 Device 003: ID 04f2:b130 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd [12:32] # [12:32] Bus 001 Device 002: ID 1164:0871 YUAN High-Tech Development Co., Ltd [12:33] I don't know... it's a western digital drive [12:33] Unplug the drive, run lsusb again and tell us what line changed [12:34] done... nothing changed... must not be mounting? [12:34] ls <---stands for list and usb stands fo well do ls+usb= list all usb thing [12:35] dr0pb3ar: Try a different USB port [12:36] a WD drive would show something like: Bus 001 Device 004: ID 1058:1110 Western Digital Technologies, Inc [12:36] for lsusb [12:37] as lsusb just shows you devices [12:37] I'll advice to check dmesg [12:37] as it will tell what happens on kernel level [12:37] it is still the same on other usb port [12:38] carry on [12:39] and dmesg shows nothing either [12:39] dr0pb3ar: anything showing from: sudo blkid [12:40] IdleOne, nope if dmesg tells there's no sdX device [12:40] looks like you got a dead drive [12:40] happens [12:40] okay... thanks anyway. [12:41] power or something [12:41] remove that drive from the case [12:41] and plug it directly [12:41] He can hear it spin up, so it does get power [12:41] how do you do that. [12:41] will it have a sata cable [12:43] If it's not an external hdd case, I wouldn't attempt that. [12:43] okay [12:43] if it's out of warranty, I would tear it apart! [12:44] as you have only data to loose ;) [12:44] If it's brand new, it's just a defective drive, so take it back to the retailer and they'll give you a new one. [12:45] it's not new. it's belongs to another guy in my team and we are a bit short of them here in afghanistan so thought I might try and fix it up... think I might be out of options [12:46] dr0pb3ar: when plugged to a pc running windows does it come up? [12:46] no it doesn't [12:46] definitely dead [12:46] target practice :) [12:47] righto... will take it to the range tomorrow... thanks for you help guys === shadeslayer_ is now known as shadeslayer === nlsthzn is now known as nlsthzn-work [15:29] Who can explane me gnome-system-monitor ? [15:31] E3D3: what do you need to know? [15:32] Please wait a moment. Maybe it was my Emacs that did strange, I have to check this. [15:35] Sorry nlsthzn-work, I just saw I had a ghost-proces or something (Emacs) I think that it is solved. [15:35] I was confused about that Emacs used a little memory and ALL cpu. I stopped it, also in System-monitor & after that it looks normal. [15:36] OK Cool :) [15:36] But very much thanks for your kind offer to help me. Good day/luck/etc. [15:37] E3D3: no prob, cheers :) [15:38] :D [18:18] Hello, can anyone tell me where are located the new startup scripts in Ubuntu 11.04? [18:18] all my apps hide under the title bar,what do I do? [18:20] I mean the top part of the app ,like the title bar [18:20] misen, /etc/init.d is the one I think [18:21] mikde, you are not able to see the file,edit help and other menu bars right? [18:21] yes [18:21] or the tittle bar? in the sense, the application name? [18:21] yes [18:21] not anymore, that has changed to a event.d directory in the /etc dir but I cannot figure it out yet. [18:21] mikde, what version are you using? [18:22] 11.04 [18:26] mikde, try unity --reset [18:26] I think its unity you use [18:27] yes,but where is reset [18:27] mikde, open terminal and type sudo unity --reset [18:28] thank you, i'll give it a try [19:37] hey so i set up a dydns program on my computer and want to be able to ssh into my desktop from miles away. anyone know how? [19:51] If you're behind a router, port forward port 22 to your computer [19:52] then ssh username@your.dyndns.com [19:53] hum. let me try that [19:54] also i assigned the server a ststic ip of 192.168.1.200. i need to see if 200 is a good thing to choose [19:55] It's a good a byte as any [19:57] hum. well i should probably go to starbucks and see if i can ssh into it [19:57] philipballew: Try it locally first. [19:58] Does anyone know where are located the new startup scripts in Ubuntu 11.04? [19:58] If ssh user@yourdyndnshostname works, even from the same machine, you should be fine [19:59] misen: "startup" is a bit ambiguous. What are you looking for exactly? [20:00] Add a startup script, query/enable/disable startup services, etc. [20:01] geirha, if im on my local network should i port forword poet 22? [20:02] also so it should look likr this geirha : ssh philip@philipserver1.no-ip.org [20:02] dont worry, my password is pretty strong [20:03] philipballew: Yes, if that line works locally, it should work from a remote location too, like starbucks. [20:05] misen: ~/.config/autostart/ as in earlier versions. Or are you asking how to bring up the GUI? [20:07] geirha: If I want to add a startup script, where can I do it now? [20:09] Hitting the windows key and typing startup should bring it up [20:09] Though if you're using a different language, you may need to provide part of the translated name for "startup applications" [20:12] geirha: Startup applications: Network Connection Manager, Bluetooth, Dhcpd, Sshd, ACPI daemon, etc?. [20:18] misen: Ah, you mean init and upstart scripts [20:20] !upstart [20:20] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [20:20] geirha, hey so i opened port 22 but i cant seem to connect to it. [20:22] You forwarded port 22 on the router to port 22 on your desktops local 192.168.1.* address? [20:26] geirha, http://imagebin.org/169358 [20:30] geirha, would my server ddydns not be working? [20:31] philipballew: Your dyndns works, you just haven't forwarded port 22 to your desktop computer [20:32] the immagebin says i did? [20:33] You'll need to tell it that "when someone connects to remote-ip and port 22, it should be forwarded to 192.168.1.123 port 22 [20:34] In that screenshot it appears you've opened port 22 in the firewall, possibly allowing ssh access to the router itself, from the outside. [20:35] http://portforward.com/ has guides on how to port forward on tons of different routers. See if you find your router there. [20:36] hum. alright [20:43] geirha: Thanks [20:45] Ill take a look into the documents [23:06] can i run a live cd and check if a hard drive is good [23:09] philipballew: yup [23:09] oh, well okay nlsthzn-work [23:10] :) you can mount the drive very easily and you have access to all the same tools as a default install [23:59] is there some option like -r for scp? [23:59] bookpage: have you checked the man page?
