[00:09] how do I see when I installed ubuntu?? [00:11] kristian-aalborg, what exactly do you need? [00:11] see what? [00:13] the date I made the initial install [00:13] the current one [00:13] you want to find when you installed it? [00:13] well i have a easy idea [00:14] roughly how long ago did you install? [00:15] i have this http://askubuntu.com/questions/1352/how-can-i-tell-what-date-ubuntu-was-installed [00:15] ill look and see what the best way there is [00:15] philipballew, some months [00:16] akright. hold a couple minutes [00:18] Filesystem created: Wed May 11 11:51:22 2011 [00:19] nice!!! [00:59] hello [01:37] Help: After I installed cups development package. When I meet error message "undefined reference to 'cupsGetDests'", How do I set configuration? (Ubuntu 11.4) [03:00] hi all [07:01] whats the best way to copy files from my server to my laptop via ssh [07:03] rsync -avz -e ssh file.foo laptop: [07:04] or you could use scp, but that doesn't have resume functions and things like rsync [07:21] pleia2, hum. so i need to send them back to my laptop. I'll need ssh-server on laptop then? [07:24] Or do the copy from the laptop. rsync -av server:dir-to-copy /local/dir [09:04] What's the easiest way to completely reset all shortcut keys? [09:05] Not sure, it might be as easy as a gconftool --recursive-unset on the right gconf tree [13:04] hi all [13:22] hey guysssssssssssssssssss [13:47] kayaman: ? [13:49] yes holstein [13:49] heyyyyyyyyy [13:50] kayaman: welcome to the channel [13:50] thanks alot [13:50] am new in ubuntu [13:50] check out the topic, and feel free to join #ubuntu-beginners-team or #ubuntu-ot for more "heyyyyyyy" appropriate venues :) [13:51] where are those questions [13:51] kayaman: question? [13:51] questions* [15:53] 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 [15:54] so like: rsync -avz -e ssh server:file.foo directory_on_laptop/ [16:02] that makes scene. and then i just delete off the server if I want. pleia2 === yofel_ is now known as yofel [21:08] Hey, guys. [21:10] Geodude, quiet channel today. go ahead and ask your question if you have one [21:10] 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. [21:11] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y3dVAonkK-U [21:12] Geodude, the fixating step. you might try using wodim directly and you can control whether or not to fixate [21:12] So it's a Brasero issue? I've never used it. Is there just a command line I can use to burn .iso files? [21:14] 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] where do I get wodim? [21:14] 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] !info wodim [21:14] Nevermind, the software center says I have it... [21:15] escott: You have to prefix bot because it's broken [21:15] ubot2: info wodim [21:15] 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] reading man page now [21:16] Geodude, generally it is wodim dev=/dev/dvd -vvvvv -data filename.iso [21:17] Geodude, in your case you may want to adjust the speed and/or disable fixation [21:26] It's giving me a warning. Do I need to sudo? [21:27] whats up Geodude ? [21:28] Geodude, yes [21:28] Man, verbose doesn't mess around. [21:28] Geodude, there may be some ways to avoid that, but its almost always a good idea to run wodim as root [21:28] All kinds of errors. [21:29] Geodude, hopefully just warnings, the more important things are that you dont get buffer underruns [21:29] oh. I know what I did. I'm an idiot. [21:30] It wouldn't record because I forgot to blank it first. :) [21:30] Now it's doing that thing in the youtube video I linked. [21:31] Nothing is happening and all of my CPUs are at 50% [21:31] device or resource busy [21:36] Awesome. Burned without issue. Thanks for the command line. Now to see if it will boot lol :) [22:14] Won't boot from the CD I made. I'm going to try to boot from a CD I know boots. [22:22] Geodude, using a cd-rw for a boot cd may not work well. i would recommend using a cd-r [22:23] Geodude, and the fixation step could be important to the boot as well. an unfixated disk may confuse the bios [22:24] 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. [22:26] Geodude, Did you md5sum the ISO image, prior to burning? If so and it agreed, did you burn at the slowest speed? [22:26] I also tried to format a flash stick to be bootable but that went awfully wrong. [22:26] Geodude, how did you format the usb stick? [22:26] umm I used instructions from the arch linux wiki. [22:27] 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] pfSense.iso and Arch.iso [22:27] Geodude, use unetbootin http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ [22:27] !md5sum | Geodude [22:27] 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] !hashes | Geodude [22:27] Geodude: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes for the md5sums of Ubuntu discs. [22:30] 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. [22:31] ooh good question. [22:31] Geodude, if you reformat the usb stick and use unetbootin to load it you should be set if the ISO is good. [22:32] 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. [22:35] md5 is the same (c3f7e10d040eac1da0efe68fb2f64d5b archlinux-2011.08.19-netinstall-i686.iso) [22:35] So, this is probably not an Ubuntu problem. [22:36] I know I've booted (and installed an OS) from this particular CD-RW before. [22:36] Geodude, but you had to clear data off the cd-rw first right? [22:37] Geodude, im not sure how exactly cd-rws work, but that might mess up the boot process [22:37] so at least use a new clean cd-rw [22:37] Good point. I'll ask my housemates if they have any CD-Rs and try that. Thanks for all the help. [23:52] 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] 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 [23:57] can someone help me install lubuntu. when i boot the cd it boots into a shell [23:57] philipballew: odd [23:58] how about live?.. i would think the lubuntu installer would be live, or have a live option [23:58] Geodude, its pretty quiet in this channel today. #ubuntu may have an answer for you [23:59] holstein, it is odd. it is the live version and it just goes and boots into that
