| georgereschke | I just installed Ubunto latest on my laptop alongside Windows. Love it (Ubunto, that is). I see my windows files in natilis. When I try to move the files from windows to Ubunto using "right-click" and "move" the files remain on the windows partition. How do I move them? | 04:02 |
|---|---|---|
| urlin2u | georgereschke, try copy and paste or drag them. | 04:03 |
| urlin2u | not a wubi install is it? | 04:03 |
| georgereschke | not sure what wubi install is. I just followed the instructions for creating the install disc and let it install. I want to move them from windows. Not copy them. | 04:04 |
| urlin2u | georgereschke, you booted the cd? | 04:06 |
| urlin2u | what are the files? | 04:07 |
| georgereschke | I created the CD, then chose the option to install along side Windows. The files are user files: documents, spreadsheets, etc... | 04:07 |
| holstein | i would copy, the delete when they are moved, and you make sure all is well | 04:08 |
| georgereschke | It's not a wubi install. | 04:08 |
| georgereschke | It seems like that is the default action. Even if you "move" it leaves the file on the other partition. | 04:09 |
| holstein | georgereschke: thats what i personally would prefer.. then i would go and delete after the move | 04:10 |
| urlin2u | holstein, things going good for you? | 04:39 |
| holstein | sure... not bad, and you? | 04:39 |
| urlin2u | not bad my last semester for the bachelors, hoping to get enough money for the graduate program to get tenor. | 04:40 |
| holstein | good luck!... thats great | 04:40 |
| urlin2u | it would be nice to get back to playing it is where my heart is. :d | 04:40 |
| holstein | urlin2u: you should come to the #ubuntu-beginners-team channel -> | 04:43 |
| urlin2u | I have spent a little time there nice crowd I just didn't really have the time to contribute | 04:43 |
| urlin2u | holstein, soory I put the local group in my answer not the cahnnel there now. | 04:44 |
| urlin2u | channe | 04:44 |
| newguy | How am I supposed to get Flash to work in Firefox? | 06:11 |
| newguy | I've been trying to download the plugin and it doesn't work | 06:11 |
| pazaco | Hello! | 06:11 |
| newguy | hello paz | 06:13 |
| pazaco | Anyone have details on installing Ubuntu on a USB thumb-drive from the .iso file, I'm using a Mac Powerbook g4 | 06:13 |
| newguy | wouldn't it work if you have it on the drive and then use an image reader to boot? | 06:14 |
| Unit193 | newguy: Should just have to install flashplugin-installer | 06:14 |
| Unit193 | ' | 06:14 |
| pazaco | I don't want to toast the Mac | 06:14 |
| Unit193 | Installing onto a flash, as in save docs and such? | 06:15 |
| hydrox24 | pazaco: You'll need something to burn the ISO to a disk, howver for a USB drive its kinda complex to use a ISO without and external program to adapt it for the USB | 06:15 |
| pazaco | hydrox, i got the correct (i think) .iso on a DVD disk now | 06:16 |
| newguy | unit: i keep trying that and it doesn't work still | 06:16 |
| hydrox24 | pazaco: did you just copy the .iso to the DVD or did you burn it there (extract it)? | 06:16 |
| Unit193 | !flashissues | newguy | 06:17 |
| ubot2` | newguy: The Flash plugin installation has been broken for some time. A fix has been released now. If the update fails to install Flash, try « sudo apt-get --purge remove flashplugin-nonfree ; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree » | 06:17 |
| pazaco | it downloaded, then hmmm, | 06:17 |
| newguy | ubot | 06:17 |
| Unit193 | That doesn't seem quite right... | 06:17 |
| newguy | ubot: thanks man | 06:17 |
| pazaco | it extracetd I think, and got to the point it wanted to erase my HD, so I stopped it there, it checked itself, also | 06:18 |
| pazaco | I think?? | 06:18 |
| hydrox24 | pazaco: go here:http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 06:19 |
| pazaco | okay, then | 06:19 |
| hydrox24 | and go to the part with the big "2" next to it | 06:19 |
| hydrox24 | then click the radio buttom for USB stick and mac | 06:19 |
| hydrox24 | then click show me how | 06:19 |
| newguy | ubot: that doesn't seem to work, even after rebooting firefox | 06:19 |
| pazaco | ok | 06:20 |
| Ivoz | how can one unload nvidia modules? (stop them from being loaded)? They've stopped me from booting up | 06:22 |
| hydrox24 | Ivoz: I suggest you go to the non begginer ubuntu channel for that one | 06:23 |
| hydrox24 | (#ubuntu) | 06:23 |
| Ivoz | they're just talking about random stuff there D: | 06:24 |
| pazaco | hydrox | 06:25 |
| pazaco | bak | 06:25 |
| pazaco | I burned the disk exactly like it shows, so that disk will run Ubuntu without having to install to my system? | 06:26 |
| pazaco | I'm confused about that still, but that is what it seems to say | 06:27 |
| pazaco | hi bobo | 06:31 |
| urlin2u | pazaco, it will run little better on a usb stick as well. | 06:32 |
| phillw | pazaco: if you select the try without installing it will not touch your system. It runs a bit slow, as it has to keep accessing the CD-Drive which is a lot slower than a hard drive. | 06:32 |
| bobo37774 | pazaco: Hey | 06:32 |
| pazaco | Thsi Ubuntu I got isnt even relaesed yet, 12.04LTS, i think the one you posted, HYDROX, is the better one | 06:33 |
| pazaco | phillw: it cant run any slower than i do, when i catch up, i will install on HD | 06:34 |
| pazaco | its probabl;y actually a license violation on a Mac, and i still use Mac Store supposrt | 06:35 |
| urlin2u | pazaco, 12.04 is the development, not considered a stable until released. | 06:35 |
| phillw | if you're on a Mac, head over to http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=328 | 06:35 |
| pazaco | not sure how i got routed that way in my search, glad i didn't do anything with it then, until checking things out.. | 06:36 |
| phillw | they are more used to that system. | 06:36 |
| pazaco | okay, good idea, i'm not doing anything else. I'll set a book mark to the link hydrox gave me (he is away i guess) | 06:38 |
| pazaco | or (she) | 06:38 |
| North | hello? | 06:43 |
| North | I am an Ubuntu beginner | 06:43 |
| North | ? | 06:43 |
| North | Anybody here? | 06:43 |
| daiwalkr | Yep | 06:53 |
| bobo37774 | North is gone already | 06:54 |
| hydrox24 | pazaco: I am back now, sorry | 06:56 |
| hydrox24 | pazaco: & it's a he :) | 06:56 |
| bobo37774 | Hey I heard #ubuntu-beginners is the second most boring chatroom on earth is that true? | 07:04 |
| hydrox24 | bobo37774: no, only if you make it the most boring! | 07:05 |
| pazaco | how long ago did you hear that? | 07:05 |
| bobo37774 | hydrox24: hahahaha | 07:05 |
| bobo37774 | pazaco: I came to that conlusion right after I left #linux hahaha | 07:05 |
| pazaco | I shifted from Windows to Mac about 7-8 years ago because | 07:06 |
| bobo37774 | the anticipation is killing me | 07:06 |
| pazaco | the kids visited sites with all kinds of malware, and it used to be easy to boot up windows from scratch | 07:06 |
| bobo37774 | pazaco: boot up windows from scratch? | 07:07 |
| bobo37774 | pazaco: What do you mean? | 07:07 |
| pazaco | yeah, they used to give you the full version OEM disk | 07:07 |
| bobo37774 | Oh, yeah. That was a while ago. They don't even have the decency to do that any more | 07:08 |
| pazaco | it had DOD & Windows, when you started over and re-formatted your HD, | 07:08 |
| pazaco | you used DOS, it was so easy. Then, only back-up disk. Then Dell outsourced their tech, and you had to learn Swahili or something | 07:09 |
| pazaco | i just threw my hands in the air | 07:09 |
| bobo37774 | haha | 07:09 |
| pazaco | Now Apple is following their model into obscuriity,, | 07:09 |
| urlin2u | bobo37774, you get a recovery partition now and at least one chance at making a image up the the pro version, then it is as many images as you like. | 07:10 |
| urlin2u | to the* | 07:10 |
| pazaco | the new Lion OS is the most bloated POS OS ive ever seen | 07:10 |
| bobo37774 | urlin2u: It's not the same. It's just not. | 07:10 |
| bobo37774 | pazaco: More bloated then Ubuntu? ...just kidding. So is that when you switched to Ubuntu? | 07:11 |
| pazaco | well we had Win2000 at one point, that was a joke too | 07:11 |
| urlin2u | bobo37774, probably not I rarely use windows, didn't start on windows, I had open source as my first OS. | 07:11 |
| pazaco | I started with CP/M 86 haha! | 07:11 |
| bobo37774 | urlin2u: Talk about lucky. What was your first distro? | 07:11 |
| urlin2u | dapper ubuntu and lol I'm 47 years old didn't need a computer till I went back to college. | 07:12 |
| bobo37774 | urlin2u: Nice. Yeah, I did not start computing until 2009 and I was lucky enough to start with vista. Best OS ever hahaha | 07:13 |
| pazaco | my project is to check out Ubuntu on the old mac, while learning pyton on the new mac, and these could be my last macs | 07:13 |
| urlin2u | bobo37774, lol | 07:14 |
| pazaco | python | 07:14 |
| bobo37774 | pazaco: Awesome. Are you going to create some apps for the community some day? | 07:14 |
| pazaco | I'm not really very good at all this, I am losing ground as fast as i learn | 07:15 |
| pazaco | well, the MIT 600 course is where i am starting at | 07:15 |
| bobo37774 | Yeah, I barely know bash. I feel like I need to learn at least c and python | 07:15 |
| bobo37774 | and assembly | 07:15 |
| bobo37774 | at least then I will know how my system works | 07:16 |
| pazaco | to change my career i need html, c c++, java - -minimum | 07:16 |
| bobo37774 | pazaco: Web stuff? | 07:17 |
| pazaco | well, i guess so, the old job is printing, so I guess the new job is going to follow in its footsteps | 07:17 |
| pazaco | I am trained in visual arts | 07:18 |
| Snicksie | bobo37774, pazaco : I understand you'd like to talk to eachother, but as you might know, this channel is meant for support ;) could you continue your conversation in #ubuntu-offtopic ? :) | 07:18 |
| hydrox24 | bobo37774: In this day and age knowing how your system works is called "A life goal" | 07:18 |
| bobo37774 | hydrox24: Someday. Someday. | 07:18 |
| pazaco | Snicksie, no problem, we just got bored | 07:18 |
| bobo37774 | Snicksie: Still waiting for North to come back from #ubuntu | 07:19 |
| bobo37774 | Snicksie: ok ok going back to complete radio silence | 07:19 |
| Snicksie | thats not needed ofcourse, but offtopic business is preferred in #ubuntu-offtopic | 07:20 |
| pazaco | Snick, thanks for the link to that channel, I cant get /list on Freenode without freezing my system | 07:20 |
| Snicksie | you had a problem bobo37774 ? :) | 07:20 |
| Unit193 | pazaco: Use /msg alis help list | 07:20 |
| pazaco | yeah i might try that too UNIt | 07:21 |
| bobo37774 | Snicksie: No I was kidding. There was a new person "North" who came here looking for help but left before anyone could respond. | 07:21 |
| Snicksie | ah, i see ;) | 07:21 |
| bobo37774 | Snicksie: I was hoping to be of service to my mother distro community | 07:21 |
| Snicksie | well, of course you can be ^^ we have an ubuntu beginners team (for people who would like to contribute to ubuntu). more information about our awesome ubuntu beginners team here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam :p | 07:23 |
| pazaco | hasta la vista, and thanks for all the fish!!! | 07:23 |
| bobo37774 | pazaco: See you. Take care. | 07:24 |
| bobo37774 | Snicksie: That link just points me back here hahaha. Are you messing with me hehe? | 07:27 |
| bobo37774 | Snicksie: Take care. | 07:35 |

| bobweaver | Hello there I am having trouble with my ect/resov.conf file on my new static line and was wondering if someone could help me? I was following this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html and am at this point Task: Define new DNS servers and do not understand where he is getting these ipadress like the one 202.54.1.20 where is he getting that ? | 16:34 |
| holstein | bobweaver: im either going to have someone step up in our LUG and do a presentation on this kind of thing, or im going to RTFM and become more aware soon | 17:00 |
| holstein | i was assuming it was my method if defining the dns server that was failing for me in the past | 17:01 |
| holstein | bobweaver: what are you going for... local dns? | 17:02 |
| bobweaver | not sure | 17:02 |
| bobweaver | I want to be able to download programs and updates | 17:03 |
| bobweaver | right now I can not | 17:03 |
| holstein | bobweaver: i just put opendns IP's in my servers config | 17:03 |
| bobweaver | how to do that ? | 17:03 |
| holstein | i didn it in the /etc/resolv.conf file | 17:04 |
| holstein | did* | 17:04 |
| bobweaver | that is what I do not understand what the meeaning of thousse lines are ? | 17:04 |
| holstein | bobweaver: thats what your server uses for dns | 17:05 |
| holstein | 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 are the 2 i used | 17:05 |
| bobweaver | no it is for a program that I wrote that finds backlinks and other seo stuff for charitys localy | 17:05 |
| holstein | the point it to the local dns server | 17:06 |
| holstein | then* | 17:06 |
| bobweaver | I also want to host sojme websites on it for homeless selters ect to raise money for them | 17:06 |
| bobweaver | it is just that I so not understand how to fix /etc/resolv.conf the settings from the last time it was dhcp are still there .. I think | 17:07 |
| bobweaver | how to find out what the local dns server is ? | 17:09 |
| bobweaver | what does domain and search mean in /etc/resolv.conf also what is nameserver ? | 17:10 |
| holstein | bobweaver: the gateway will be using some dns addresses, and you can point to it, or just use the opendns ones i suggested either or both places | 17:10 |
| holstein | bobweaver: its bascially so you can refer to google as google.com instead of 74.125.159.103 | 17:11 |
| bobweaver | oh | 17:11 |
| holstein | bobweaver: i have not made a complex resolv.conf file before.. only dns | 17:11 |
| bobweaver | it resolves the dns | 17:11 |
| holstein | yup.. there are plently of them, and you liley have ones from the ISP now... in my case, the router where i am now wasnt passing its info on to the my server, os i just gave it the openDNS ones | 17:12 |
| bobweaver | so right now it can not understand what my dns to ip is ans that is what /etc/resolv.conf is there for ? | 17:13 |
| bobweaver | how to get opendns one ? | 17:13 |
| holstein | bobweaver: if you have ddwrt for example (locally) it will just solve them | 17:13 |
| holstein | my server is prometheus for example, and i can refer to it as that... or by IP | 17:13 |
| holstein | i can use ddwrt as the localDNS.. or i couls set up a server, which is what i would like to learn more about | 17:14 |
| holstein | could* | 17:14 |
| holstein | 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220 are the open DNS ones | 17:14 |
| holstein | http://www.opendns.com/ | 17:14 |
| bobweaver | ddwrt is linux forware for router correct ? | 17:15 |
| holstein | well, most firmware for routers is linux.. ddwrt is the opensource one | 17:15 |
| holstein | i like to support opendns.. they have a really nice service (for free) called family shield | 17:15 |
| holstein | http://blog.opendns.com/2010/06/23/introducing-familyshield-parental-controls/ you change your DNS at the gateway, and porn is blocked, and well as other known bad things | 17:17 |
| holstein | the google dns's are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 | 17:20 |
| bobweaver | I also see that open dns works for ipcop that is coool | 17:20 |
| holstein | if the ISP gives the choice, i switch to opendns | 17:21 |
| === AAnderson is now known as AAnderson72 | ||
| bobweaver | so this is what I did opened /etc/resolv.conf added the nameserer address for open dns commented out the old ones and am now rebooting | 17:23 |
| holstein | bobweaver: probably dont need the reboot, but it wont hurt :) | 17:25 |
| bobweaver | holstein: Dude you are so flippin awesome thanks for helping me have not tested yet but thanks so much for helping me | 17:26 |
| holstein | bobweaver: sure... im reading/learning about this stuff as well.. its nice to sound it all out :) | 17:27 |
| bobweaver | IT WOPRKED | 17:27 |
| bobweaver | \o/ | 17:27 |
| bobweaver | I can now update | 17:27 |
| bobweaver | and install things with out finding .debs | 17:28 |
| holstein | \o/ | 17:28 |
| holstein | yeah, that was a head-scratcher for me too... but the router here is from the ISP, and locked down quite a bit... not sure why my server being outside the DHCP range makes it not want to get dns.. | 17:29 |
| bobweaver | this is great not only did I learn something I also fixed something also holstein thanks again ! | 17:36 |
