| JoonsS | Help: After I installed cups development package. When I meet error message "undefined reference to 'cupsGetDests'", How do I set configuration? (Ubuntu 11.4) | 01:37 |
| ApOgEE | hi all | 03:00 |
| philipballew | whats the best way to copy files from my server to my laptop via ssh | 07:01 |
| pleia2 | rsync -avz -e ssh file.foo laptop: | 07:03 |
| pleia2 | or you could use scp, but that doesn't have resume functions and things like rsync | 07:04 |
| philipballew | pleia2, hum. so i need to send them back to my laptop. I'll need ssh-server on laptop then? | 07:21 |
| geirha | Or do the copy from the laptop. rsync -av server:dir-to-copy /local/dir | 07:24 |
| head_victim | What's the easiest way to completely reset all shortcut keys? | 09:04 |
| geirha | Not sure, it might be as easy as a gconftool --recursive-unset on the right gconf tree | 09:05 |
| kayaman | hi all | 13:04 |
| kayaman | hey guysssssssssssssssssss | 13:22 |
| holstein | kayaman: ? | 13:47 |
| kayaman | yes holstein | 13:49 |
| kayaman | heyyyyyyyyy | 13:49 |
| holstein | kayaman: welcome to the channel | 13:50 |
| kayaman | thanks alot | 13:50 |
| kayaman | am new in ubuntu | 13:50 |
| holstein | check out the topic, and feel free to join #ubuntu-beginners-team or #ubuntu-ot for more "heyyyyyyy" appropriate venues :) | 13:50 |
| kayaman | where are those questions | 13:51 |
| holstein | kayaman: question? | 13:51 |
| holstein | questions* | 13:51 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: you can do an rsync either way, you said "copy files from my server to my laptop via ssh" so I was giving you instructions in that direction, if you want to pull files from your server you just run it on your laptop with the options reversed | 15:53 |
| pleia2 | so like: rsync -avz -e ssh server:file.foo directory_on_laptop/ | 15:54 |
| philipballew | that makes scene. and then i just delete off the server if I want. pleia2 | 16:02 |

| Geodude | Hey, guys. | 21:08 |
| escott | Geodude, quiet channel today. go ahead and ask your question if you have one | 21:10 |
| Geodude | I'm having trouble burning .iso images. (I tried several different ones.) When Brasero is "100% finished success" it tries to do some other stuff and my computer just goes insane and it can't finish whatever the last steps are supposed to be. | 21:10 |
| Geodude | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3dVAonkK-U | 21:11 |
| escott | Geodude, the fixating step. you might try using wodim directly and you can control whether or not to fixate | 21:12 |
| Geodude | So it's a Brasero issue? I've never used it. Is there just a command line I can use to burn .iso files? | 21:12 |
| escott | Geodude, could be a Brasero issue, could be specific to your cd burner. i've always preferred using wodim with verbosity (-vvvv argument) turned on so I can see any possible error. | 21:14 |
| Geodude | where do I get wodim? | 21:14 |
| escott | Geodude, the gui may be easier but you get into situations where you don't know what is happening (like you are in) | 21:14 |
| escott | !info wodim | 21:14 |
| Geodude | Nevermind, the software center says I have it... | 21:14 |
| Unit193 | escott: You have to prefix bot because it's broken | 21:15 |
| Unit193 | ubot2: info wodim | 21:15 |
| ubot2 | Unit193: wodim (source: cdrkit): command line CD/DVD writing tool. In component main, is optional. Version 9:1.1.10-1ubuntu3 (maverick), package size 427 kB, installed size 864 kB | 21:15 |
| Geodude | reading man page now | 21:15 |
| escott | Geodude, generally it is wodim dev=/dev/dvd -vvvvv -data filename.iso | 21:16 |
| escott | Geodude, in your case you may want to adjust the speed and/or disable fixation | 21:17 |
| Geodude | It's giving me a warning. Do I need to sudo? | 21:26 |
| philipballew | whats up Geodude ? | 21:27 |
| escott | Geodude, yes | 21:28 |
| Geodude | Man, verbose doesn't mess around. | 21:28 |
| escott | Geodude, there may be some ways to avoid that, but its almost always a good idea to run wodim as root | 21:28 |
| Geodude | All kinds of errors. | 21:28 |
| escott | Geodude, hopefully just warnings, the more important things are that you dont get buffer underruns | 21:29 |
| Geodude | oh. I know what I did. I'm an idiot. | 21:29 |
| Geodude | It wouldn't record because I forgot to blank it first. :) | 21:30 |
| Geodude | Now it's doing that thing in the youtube video I linked. | 21:30 |
| Geodude | Nothing is happening and all of my CPUs are at 50% | 21:31 |
| Geodude | device or resource busy | 21:31 |
| Geodude | Awesome. Burned without issue. Thanks for the command line. Now to see if it will boot lol :) | 21:36 |
| Geodude | Won't boot from the CD I made. I'm going to try to boot from a CD I know boots. | 22:14 |
| escott | Geodude, using a cd-rw for a boot cd may not work well. i would recommend using a cd-r | 22:22 |
| escott | Geodude, and the fixation step could be important to the boot as well. an unfixated disk may confuse the bios | 22:23 |
| Geodude | I just booted into Ubuntu from a DVD-RW, but the disc I'm trying to use is a CD-RW. Unfortunately I do not have a cd-r. | 22:24 |
| Sidewinder1 | Geodude, Did you md5sum the ISO image, prior to burning? If so and it agreed, did you burn at the slowest speed? | 22:26 |
| Geodude | I also tried to format a flash stick to be bootable but that went awfully wrong. | 22:26 |
| urlin2u | Geodude, how did you format the usb stick? | 22:26 |
| Geodude | umm I used instructions from the arch linux wiki. | 22:26 |
| Geodude | I don't know how to md5sum but I did try two different images and I used BitTorrent to double check that each file had all of its parts. | 22:27 |
| Geodude | pfSense.iso and Arch.iso | 22:27 |
| urlin2u | Geodude, use unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 22:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | !md5sum | Geodude | 22:27 |
| ubot2 | Geodude: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 22:27 |
| Sidewinder1 | !hashes | Geodude | 22:27 |
| ubot2 | Geodude: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. | 22:27 |
| szczur | is there a way to force program to use specific network interface? Say, that i have two ifaces (wlan0 i ppp0 [3G modem]) and i'd like to connect to my ssh server via wlan0 and do the rest (browsing, gaming, etc.) with the modem. | 22:30 |
| Geodude | ooh good question. | 22:31 |
| urlin2u | Geodude, if you reformat the usb stick and use unetbootin to load it you should be set if the ISO is good. | 22:31 |
| Geodude | I'm sure it's not the iso, but I'm going to find the md5 thing. I've downloaded this .iso twice and checked it with transmission. | 22:32 |
| Geodude | md5 is the same (c3f7e10d040eac1da0efe68fb2f64d5b archlinux-2011.08.19-netinstall-i686.iso) | 22:35 |
| Geodude | So, this is probably not an Ubuntu problem. | 22:35 |
| Geodude | I know I've booted (and installed an OS) from this particular CD-RW before. | 22:36 |
| escott | Geodude, but you had to clear data off the cd-rw first right? | 22:36 |
| escott | Geodude, im not sure how exactly cd-rws work, but that might mess up the boot process | 22:37 |
| escott | so at least use a new clean cd-rw | 22:37 |
| Geodude | Good point. I'll ask my housemates if they have any CD-Rs and try that. Thanks for all the help. | 22:37 |
| Geodude | Is there any way to make >>sudo iwlist wlan0 scan<< show only my ESSID that I'm connected to? Or just a particular one. isntead of all within range. | 23:52 |
| Geodude | Also, is there an indicator applet that I can make do this command every so many minutes and display results? I'm very unhappy with the "sometimes 3 bars, usually 4 bars" approach. I no longer even receive the percentage signal tooltip in 11.04 | 23:52 |
| philipballew | can someone help me install lubuntu. when i boot the cd it boots into a shell | 23:57 |
| holstein | philipballew: odd | 23:57 |
| holstein | how about live?.. i would think the lubuntu installer would be live, or have a live option | 23:58 |
| escott | Geodude, its pretty quiet in this channel today. #ubuntu may have an answer for you | 23:58 |
| philipballew | holstein, it is odd. it is the live version and it just goes and boots into that | 23:59 |
