| philipballew | If someone tells me to find my bridge ipaddress, where would I look for it? bridge is the same as gateway right? | 01:04 |
|---|---|---|
| stlsaint | philipballew: depends on what concept | 01:04 |
| philipballew | im setting up a vpn | 01:04 |
| stlsaint | bridge as in network bridge? | 01:04 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: well yea your bridge is probably the gateway in that sense | 01:05 |
| philipballew | im using this guide and in https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/serverguide/C/openvpn.html and I beleive it is the address of the bridge interface | 01:05 |
| philipballew | my router is a 192.168.1.254 so that would thee the address maybe | 01:06 |
| philipballew | isnt networking fun stlsaint | 01:08 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: considering i had to get N+ certified i have to make it fun lol | 01:09 |
| philipballew | i had get certified for hardware once. there all a pain. If the router is a .254 though, I would probably rut that I guess? | 01:10 |
| stlsaint | you sure your router is a .254? | 01:12 |
| philipballew | yeah, Its a att default router. Its my parents house. im gonna stash a server here when i am 600 miles away for school | 01:13 |
| philipballew | stlsaint, | 01:13 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: ssh? | 01:14 |
| philipballew | well ssh is currently set up. im setting up a vpn on it. | 01:16 |
| philipballew | my school blocks all my favorite sites because they label them as hacker | 01:17 |
| philipballew | so im am setting up a vpn | 01:17 |
| philipballew | stlsaint, | 01:17 |
| philipballew | and also, I need a good way to connect to my system besides ssh. | 01:19 |
| philipballew | also, because I can | 01:19 |
| stlsaint | ssh is actually very versatile and robust. Able to handle much of what vpn can if not more and alot easier to manage and setup. | 01:21 |
| stlsaint | proxy, encryption, web, etc | 01:22 |
| philipballew | yeah, what would I google for to look to set up a ssh tunnel to have from my desktop in my dorm to my server here to not have annoying website restrictions? stlsaint | 01:24 |
| philipballew | I think its a reverse ssh tunnel | 01:29 |
| philipballew | I have had that before. I might do that. I am wanting a challenge now and think a vpn might be a fun thing to have | 01:30 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: correct | 01:31 |
| philipballew | I will read the openvpn config file tonight as well | 01:31 |
| stlsaint | i never setup openvpn so meh | 01:33 |
| philipballew | yeah, me either. If i set up a reverse ssh tunnel I can just use browse the web as if i was on my home's network. Just like a vpn does? | 01:35 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: it has a lot of extra stuff (we were writing a scalable infrastructure) but the core of openvpn configuration is applicable: http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Scalable_Public_Key_Infrastructure_for_both_OpenSWAN_and_OpenVPN | 01:36 |
| stlsaint | oh nice | 01:37 |
| pleia2 | heh, has my old name on it | 01:37 |
| stlsaint | lol | 01:37 |
| * pleia2 wonders if that can be changed | 01:37 | |
| stlsaint | pleia2: i downplay openvpn in no way. I just have never used it and i know ssh has very low overhead and resource usage | 01:38 |
| pleia2 | stlsaint: I use ssh tunnels myself :) | 01:38 |
| pleia2 | and tinyproxy <3 | 01:38 |
| philipballew | pleia2, thats what I am thinking of using. I just was wanting a challenge with vpn. but is tiny proxy secure and private? | 01:40 |
| pleia2 | philipballew: hah, no tinyproxy sucks, but it's easy | 01:40 |
| philipballew | I get really annoyed when my schools sysadmins watch what I look at | 01:40 |
| stlsaint | lol | 01:40 |
| pleia2 | openvpn is a fun project to learn, but I'd use ssh for that | 01:41 |
| philipballew | pleia2, just set up a reverse ssh tunnel probably? | 01:41 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: i suggest getting ssh setup for the stable connection and as you gain experience migrate your setup to openvpn if you still want | 01:41 |
| stlsaint | either way its a win :D | 01:42 |
| philipballew | well ive been running ssh for a good year and a half since i set up the server | 01:42 |
| pleia2 | learning more ssh is always good :) | 01:42 |
| philipballew | where would be a good place to learn this, or what would I google? | 01:42 |
| pleia2 | "ssh tunnel" | 01:42 |
| pleia2 | "tunnel web traffic over ssh" | 01:43 |
| * pleia2 shrugs | 01:43 | |
| philipballew | thank you pleia2 | 01:43 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: one sec i may have a good link on ssh (MAYBE lol) | 01:43 |
| philipballew | its spring break so i have nothing better to do anyway | 01:43 |
| philipballew | some people go partying on spring break, I work on my server | 01:44 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: this isnt ssh specific but it comes in pretty handy for server stuff: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Learning/SystemAdminTopics | 01:46 |
| * philipballew loves reading!!! | 01:47 | |
| philipballew | http://askubuntu.com/questions/45075/how-do-i-route-my-internet-through-a-ssh-tunnel | 01:48 |
| pleia2 | :) | 01:49 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: once i get my servers setup we can see whos more secure ;) | 01:49 |
| philipballew | lately ive been building old desktops up and turning them into server clusters. Its been a hobby of mine | 01:49 |
| philipballew | well have a hack off!!! | 01:49 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: you use a framework...such as proxmox? | 01:49 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: if you have some time take a gander at proxmox | 01:50 |
| philipballew | no. I installed ubuntu, set up ssh and thats it | 01:51 |
| philipballew | i am getting it looking nice today I think | 01:51 |
| philipballew | rsa and all | 01:51 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: fail2ban and denyhosts is your friend :D | 01:52 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: and you probably could use some nice iptables | 01:53 |
| philipballew | what does fail2ban do? | 01:53 |
| philipballew | I used iptables to ban twitter and facebook during finals week at school! | 01:53 |
| pleia2 | fail2ban sets iptables-based bans | 01:53 |
| pleia2 | when people start hammering your server | 01:54 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: http://www.fail2ban.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page | 01:54 |
| philipballew | thats right. I helped my friend set that up on his vps | 01:54 |
| pleia2 | (I use fail2ban on my servers where I have a kernel supporting iptables, denyhosts elsewhere) | 01:54 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: pretty funny to actually tail the logs of people attacking your server | 01:54 |
| stlsaint | good your already using keys...thats step one | 01:54 |
| philipballew | my friend and i attack each others servers and we compeate to who can attack with the craziest user names | 01:55 |
| stlsaint | careful...make a mistake and people start reporting to ISP | 01:56 |
| philipballew | lol. yeah. We have all the ip's and all set up. We know who each other is | 01:56 |
| stlsaint | we had a soldier playing around on a computer in south korea and he pinged a system in north korea....that turned bad lol | 01:56 |
| pleia2 | stlsaint: oh dear :) | 01:56 |
| stlsaint | pleia2: yea lol | 01:56 |
| philipballew | north korea has internet? | 01:57 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: yes sir | 01:57 |
| philipballew | that makes sense. Some countries America doesnt like I would assume they'd use icann and play with n.k. internet | 01:58 |
| philipballew | I always prefer http://kimjongillookingatthings.tumblr.com/ | 01:58 |
| stlsaint | ha | 01:58 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: how ya iptables looking? i have some pretty strict ones passed down the server admin line starting from bodhi ;) | 01:59 |
| philipballew | there default. | 01:59 |
| philipballew | i changed my interface file once | 02:00 |
| philipballew | i should look into asking him | 02:00 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: ha, asking bodhi for server stuff will cause a brain overload lol | 02:02 |
| philipballew | I had him talk to my about ssh the first time I installed a server. I had to take a break and think about all he said | 02:03 |
| stlsaint | philipballew: yea and dont get him started on apache ;) if you ever need a webs at nginx | 02:04 |
| philipballew | apache is kinda simple once you read up on it | 02:06 |
| pleia2 | it can get complicated, but it's very heavy for a basic site (for most people nginx is fine) | 02:07 |
| philipballew | agreed. sometomes apache is more the standard so people like to learn that | 02:10 |
| philipballew | just got a call to go go to frys with friends. Thanks for the help!!1 | 02:14 |
| ArizonaBay | how can i play minecraft on ubuntu 11.10 | 03:20 |
| philipballew | ArizonaBay, good question. Lets look at this | 03:26 |
| philipballew | what kinda minecraft are you wanting? | 03:27 |
| philipballew | to have a minecraft server or just connect to something? | 03:27 |
| ArizonaBay | i want to play it in the browser | 03:28 |
| ArizonaBay | no server | 03:28 |
| ArizonaBay | just play the game and createe a world | 03:28 |
| ArizonaBay | lol | 03:28 |
| philipballew | alright. sounds fun. lets see | 03:30 |
| ArizonaBay | ^ | 03:31 |
| philipballew | so you have java installed maybe? | 03:32 |
| ArizonaBay | i have JDK 6 run java time | 03:36 |
| philipballew | well you should be able to right click on your minecraft jar and run with open jdk | 03:43 |
| philipballew | Do you have the minecraft jar? | 03:44 |
| philipballew | az | 03:44 |

| jemoh | Anyone pliz explain to me how am supposed to install SIP in order to run pyqt4 | 14:22 |
| holstein | jemoh: what are you trying to do? | 14:24 |
| holstein | should be this easy http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2008/01/how-to-install-pyqt4-on-ubuntu-linux/ | 14:24 |
| jemoh | Am trying to install SIP to my computer so that I can run pyqt4 | 14:28 |
| holstein | jemoh: SIP? like ekiga? i dont understand why you would need that... | 14:28 |
| holstein | what are you trying to do? | 14:28 |
| holstein | should be as easy as searching for pyqt in a package manager.. or following the instructions at that link | 14:28 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install python-qt4 | 14:29 |
| holstein | jemoh: are you trying to install a sip client that requires python or something? | 14:29 |
| jemoh | Ok this is what I want I want a pyqt4 toolkit | 14:30 |
| holstein | jemoh: cool.. just search for it in whatever package manager you use.. software center, synaptic.. and just install it.. or try that command in the terminal that i linked, and report errors :) | 14:31 |
| jemoh | I cant find it in the software centre. What should I do | 14:33 |
| holstein | jemoh: i would try opening a terminal and run sudo apt-get install python-qt4 | 14:33 |
| jemoh | OK lemmi do it | 14:34 |
| jemoh | This is what the terminal displays after I run it : | 14:35 |
| jemoh | Reading package lists... Done | 14:35 |
| jemoh | Building dependency tree | 14:35 |
| jemoh | Reading state information... Done | 14:35 |
| jemoh | python-qt4 is already the newest version. | 14:35 |
| jemoh | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 14:35 |
| holstein | jemoh: right... you alread have it | 14:37 |
| holstein | already* | 14:37 |
| holstein | 09:35 < jemoh> python-qt4 is already the newest version. | 14:37 |
| holstein | ^^ means its alreayd installed, and up to date | 14:37 |
| holstein | already* | 14:37 |
| jemoh | How come I see the start icon | 14:39 |
| === tronyx_ is now known as tronyx | ||
| holstein | jemoh: its not really something you "click" on | 14:40 |
| holstein | if the SIP client you are tyring to use/install needs it, it'll use it | 14:40 |
| === Guest54339 is now known as Valfyn | ||
| jemoh | so how do I install the SIP Client ? | 14:41 |
| holstein | jemoh: you just let me know exactly what client you are trying to install, and i'll help you with it | 14:41 |
| holstein | you search in the package manger of your choice by name | 14:41 |
| holstein | open the software center, search "ekiga" or whatever | 14:42 |
| jemoh | this is my case am a beginner in python and am looking for a suitable software to code my own graphical applications. What suitable software should I use ? | 14:45 |
| holstein | i would use whatever you are comfortable with | 14:47 |
| jemoh | Any suggestions ? | 14:48 |
| holstein | python sounds like a great idea | 14:48 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Programming/Python | 14:48 |
| holstein | i feel like maybe you are looking for a GUI development kit or whatever... | 14:49 |
| jemoh | Yeah exactly. So pliz give me an example | 14:52 |
| holstein | http://radicalbreeze.com/ | 14:54 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| holstein | there are others in the repos too.. but to code in python is more text based | 14:55 |
| holstein | typically | 14:55 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EclipseIDE | 14:57 |
| jemoh | So which do you think is the best GUI kit for python | 14:57 |
| holstein | jemoh: thats what im getting at.. text files | 14:57 |
| holstein | im not a coder, but i do know enough to suggest to you to maybe start with bash | 14:58 |
| holstein | if you want a GUI, then, just go with the one you know, and dont worry much about the language, since you waont be really 'seeing' it anyways | 14:58 |
| holstein | if you want to learn python, i say start with bash scripting, and just open a text editor and start learning | 14:59 |
| holstein | http://www.upriss.org.uk/python/PythonCourse.html | 14:59 |
| holstein | http://docs.python.org/tutorial/ | 14:59 |
| jemoh | Av used IDLE shell before but I could not use to code graphical applications so I think illumination will work | 15:01 |
| jemoh | Thnx alot you saved <holstein> | 15:10 |
| jemoh | I installed the mysql software from the ubuntu software center and now I cant start it because its asking me for a password, server hostname, username and default schema what should I do to start using it ???? | 15:34 |
| holstein | yup | 15:35 |
| holstein | its more complex than just installing it | 15:35 |
| jemoh | What should I do then | 15:35 |
| holstein | what are you trying to do? | 15:35 |
| holstein | install a CMS? | 15:36 |
| jemoh | What is CMS | 15:36 |
| holstein | like drupal, joomla... some C.ontent M.anagement S.ystem ? | 15:36 |
| jemoh | Am trying to open mysql in order to create a database | 15:36 |
| jemoh | Ok. | 15:37 |
| holstein | you should have been prompted during install for passwords | 15:37 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/mysql.html | 15:37 |
| holstein | though, when i built a drupal box from scratch on a powerpc machine, i just followed a guide that assisted with the database setup and all that | 15:38 |
| holstein | i think you'll do betting thinking "bigger picture" | 15:39 |
| holstein | "im trying to install and setup up drupal" for example... instaead of "mysql isnt running" | 15:39 |
| holstein | i would come here *first* before you get started with the task, and sound out some ideas | 15:39 |
| jemoh | Ok lemmi try it out | 15:43 |
| jemoh | Ok. should I first uninstall mysql then install it again ? | 15:59 |
| holstein | jemoh: again, i would go bigger.. what are you trying to do? why do you need a database? start with a tutorial for that larger project | 16:02 |
| jemoh | look our teacher told us to install it so that he can teach us to create databases in sql | 16:03 |
| holstein | jemoh: cool... its installed, so i say you are good to go :) | 16:04 |
| holstein | your teacher will talk you through the user management and all that | 16:05 |
| jemoh | He is teaching us with the windows platform and so am trying to install and use the one for linux | 16:06 |
| holstein | jemoh: cool ...i have no experience with in in windows, but it should be the same idea | 16:07 |
| jemoh | Ok. Am trying to install a package called easy Gui but I seem not to get the installation process @ http://easygui.sourceforge.net/download/version_0.96/index.html#installingEasyguiOnLinux pliz show me how its done | 16:09 |
| holstein | when going outside the default repos, you really need to go with the maintainers instructions | 16:10 |
| holstein | i typically search the repos, then i look for a PPA, then a .deb, then i consider downloading from elsewhere and building or whatever | 16:11 |
| holstein | there are instructions at that link though | 16:11 |
| holstein | In a console window, at the command prompt, enter the command: | 16:11 |
| holstein | python setup.py install | 16:11 |
| holstein | ^^ thats in a terminal | 16:11 |
| jemoh | I did it and this is what I get :python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory | 16:12 |
| holstein | jemoh: have you downloaded the file? and unzipped? and cd'd into that directory? | 16:13 |
| holstein | i sometimes just include the entire path ... ~/Downloads/whatever.py | 16:14 |
| jemoh | I have downloaded and unpacked it. what is cd'd | 16:14 |
| holstein | you can cd to where it is | 16:17 |
| holstein | cd /home/you/whatever/you.R.looking4 | 16:17 |
| TeodorM | Hi! please help me!. I am using unbutu 11.10 *(dual boot with windows 7 - partition C windows, patition D ubuntu)and I want to see files that I have in D, personal files saved from windows, too see them in ubuntu. I have searched the google an found that I need to edit fstab file, but I dont know what to do exactly. When I type in terminal sudo nano /etc/fstab, it show me # UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM | 16:31 |
| TeodorM | /host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disk none swap sw 0 0. | 16:31 |
| holstein | adding it to fstab is one way... you can just mount and chown it.. if its something you just want to see once, you can use a live CD... you can mount and chown the directory, you can add to fstab | 16:34 |
| holstein | itres really up to you... | 16:34 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 16:35 |
| TeodorM | ok.. I am tryng to make the manual configuration from that link.. but when I enter sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orig gksudo gedit /etc/fstab, I get this in terminal sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orig gksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 16:49 |
| TeodorM | sorry.. I get this (gksudo:2588): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", | 16:50 |
| TeodorM | (gedit:2590): Gtk-WARNING **: Attempting to store changes into `/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel', but failed: Failed to create file '/root/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.8ZYJAW': No such file or directory | 16:50 |
| holstein | yeah, thats just not right | 16:50 |
| holstein | TeodorM: fstab is a file... a text file | 16:51 |
| holstein | you can copy that for backup *however* you feel comfortable | 16:51 |
| holstein | right click somewhere and make a text file called fstab.backup or whatever | 16:51 |
| holstein | copy and paste the text in | 16:51 |
| holstein | then, you need root acess to edit the file.. so running | 16:51 |
| holstein | gksudo gedit /etc/fstab | 16:52 |
| holstein | ^^ that allows you to edit the file.. it comes up, and you edit as you please, and save it | 16:52 |
| holstein | you reboot, knowing how to recover that information you backedup using a live CD (in case the machine doesnt boot) | 16:52 |
| holstein | OR, you do one of the other options in that link that *doesnt* require editing fstab | 16:53 |
| holstein | i used to just click and mount mine, and right click on them for permissions for years | 16:53 |
| jemoh | Yo holstein when I ran the cd.. command this is waht I get : python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory | 16:53 |
| holstein | jemoh: correct, that means you have no file there | 16:54 |
| holstein | so, you can try using the *entire* path | 16:54 |
| holstein | /home/you/Downloads/whatever/setup.py | 16:54 |
| holstein | OR, go and find it in the GUI, in nautilus or whatever and just drag it over onto the terminal | 16:55 |
| holstein | the path with complete 'inside/quotes/probably' | 16:55 |
| holstein | jemoh: not sure what you are going for though.. you dont need a GUI for python | 16:55 |
| holstein | i would suggest doing those few tutorials i linked earlier | 16:56 |
| TeodorM | sorry.. I did not understand what to copy to this new document fstab.backup? | 16:56 |
| holstein | TeodorM: the text.. imagine your machine doesnt boot | 16:56 |
| holstein | you edit that file, and you break funtionality | 16:57 |
| holstein | you want to backup whatever it takes to restore that functionality | 16:57 |
| holstein | one way, is to copy *all* that text, and back it up | 16:57 |
| holstein | the other is to sudo cp the file | 16:57 |
| holstein | but you dont *have* to use the command line for that | 16:57 |
| TeodorM | ok... I will do that... earlier I google-it a little this problem... in this fstab file... I shoud be more that # UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM | 16:59 |
| TeodorM | /host/ubuntu/disks/swap.disknoneswapsw00 right? (this is all it is written in my file) | 16:59 |
| jemoh | OK. I have cd,,d it an this is what I get : bash: /home/jemoh/Downloads/easygui_version_0.96_docs/setup.py: Permission denied | 16:59 |
| holstein | TeodorM: the # is a comment | 16:59 |
| holstein | that is not read by the system | 17:00 |
| holstein | thats just for you... | 17:00 |
| holstein | TeodorM: whatever is in the file already should be left alone.. personally, i suggest to you to leave that file alone for a while til you are more comfortable | 17:00 |
| holstein | TeodorM: i would just click and mount the partition | 17:00 |
| TeodorM | then What to backup? pecose this is all that is written in the file | 17:01 |
| holstein | jemoh: cool... so you dont have permission.. you can use sudo as is suggested in that link http://easygui.sourceforge.net/download/version_0.96/index.html#installingEasyguiOnLinux | 17:01 |
| holstein | TeodorM: not following you | 17:01 |
| holstein | i would backup that *entire* file | 17:02 |
| holstein | however you feel comfortable doing that | 17:02 |
| holstein | imagine the machine doesnt work.. it wont boot, and you need to restor that file *as-is* | 17:02 |
| jemoh | I did it and this is what I get :jemoh@Hiuhu:~$ sudo python setup.py install | 17:04 |
| TeodorM | ok.. I was telling you that all the text from my file, is that comment, and I wanned to know if that is normal or it is allready a problem with my ubuntu | 17:04 |
| jemoh | python: can't open file 'setup.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory | 17:04 |
| holstein | jemoh: correct.. you need to both use the complete path, *and* the sudo command | 17:05 |
| holstein | sudo python /home/jemoh/Downloads/easygui_version_0.96_docs/setup.py install | 17:06 |
| holstein | at least thats how i read it at http://easygui.sourceforge.net/download/version_0.96/index.html#installingEasyguiOnLinux | 17:06 |
| jemoh | I did it and this is what I get sudo: home/jemoh/Downloads/easygui_version_0.96_docs/setup.py: command not found | 17:09 |
| holstein | jemoh: what are the :'s ? | 17:11 |
| holstein | i dont personaly want to install that to test it out | 17:11 |
| holstein | but, you get the path correct, and it *should* work | 17:11 |
| holstein | not sure what you are trying to get, or why | 17:12 |
| holstein | i would just look for packages in the default repos to use | 17:12 |
| holstein | that *should* be in there | 17:12 |
| holstein | jemoh: open a terminal | 17:13 |
| jemoh | ok | 17:13 |
| holstein | type sudo, then hit the space bar | 17:13 |
| holstein | go over and find that *exact* file, and drag it over into the terminal | 17:13 |
| jemoh | k | 17:13 |
| holstein | see that the path completes | 17:13 |
| holstein | should look like... "sudo 'home/jemoh/Downloads/easygui_version_0.96_docs/setup.py' or something | 17:14 |
| jemoh | yeah | 17:14 |
| holstein | OH | 17:14 |
| holstein | actually i see the issue... | 17:14 |
| holstein | ok get rid of that... do this.. | 17:14 |
| jemoh | what is it | 17:14 |
| jemoh | ok | 17:14 |
| holstein | sudo python home/jemoh/Downloads/easygui_version_0.96_docs/setup.py install | 17:15 |
| holstein | ^^assuming that path is correct | 17:15 |
| TeodorM | I have tried the automatic configuration, and when I tipe gksudo ntfs-config, same thing... (ntfs-config:2867): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", | 17:15 |
| holstein | TeodorM: thats just one option... i would just click on it.. mount it, and read what i need.. if i need write permissions, i deal with it | 17:16 |
| holstein | or troubleshoot the fstab | 17:16 |
| jemoh | Av dan it and now it only displays an interpreter | 17:18 |
| holstein | right | 17:18 |
| TeodorM | ok.. I dont understand what you mean with "just click on it" click on what (sorry but I am new to linux) | 17:18 |
| holstein | TeodorM: the windows partition... in the filemanager | 17:19 |
| holstein | you can also just use something like dropbox to "sync" some key documents automatically between the OS's | 17:20 |
| jemoh | Sorry but what does the python interpreter indicate ? | 17:20 |
| holstein | jemoh: im not a python guy.. sorry... the little python i have done i have literally just used a text editor for | 17:20 |
| holstein | i did those few tutorials i linked you, and that course.. and i just used nano, or gedit, or vi/vim | 17:21 |
| jemoh | OK but thanx for your help rilly apprecuated | 17:21 |
| holstein | thats where i think you should start | 17:21 |
| TeodorM | well if I go to home folder > media> I see the HDD but in it, are files that I have in C partition of windows.. and I need files from D partition | 17:22 |
| holstein | TeodorM: you shouldnt see those labels anyways... C and D | 17:22 |
| holstein | you should see all partitions there.. if not, open a terminal and run | 17:22 |
| holstein | sudo fdisk -l | 17:22 |
| holstein | you'll see them there, and you can mount them, chown them, add them to fstab, whatever you like :) | 17:23 |
| TeodorM | ok.. I have /dev/sda1 * 63 92164904 46082421 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT | 17:24 |
| TeodorM | /dev/sda2 92164905 488375999 198105547+ f W95 Ext'd (LBA) | 17:24 |
| TeodorM | /dev/sda5 92164968 488375999 198105516 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT | 17:24 |
| TeodorM | how I mount them? | 17:24 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 17:25 |
| holstein | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently | 17:25 |
| holstein | or just find them in the file manger, and click on them | 17:26 |
| TeodorM | well I dont see them in file manager | 17:28 |
| johnny77 | I'm trying to create a bootable usb to install Ubuntu, but it's giving me a operating system not found error. | 18:56 |
| philipballew | johnny77, I can help | 18:57 |
| bobweaver | johnny77, how did you make the usb ? | 18:57 |
| philipballew | did you make it in windows osx or linux? | 18:57 |
| johnny77 | philipballew: windows with Universal-USB-Installer then I tried it with unetbootin | 18:58 |
| philipballew | unetbootin is good. If only you were in sacramento id give you my usb install | 18:59 |
| philipballew | what did you do with it? | 18:59 |
| philipballew | like what steps did you do? | 18:59 |
| johnny77 | philipballew: I let Unetbootin create the bootable USB from the iso I downloaded from the Ubuntu website then rebooted my computer and get a missing operating system error as it boots. Then it just boots windows. | 19:03 |
| holstein | johnny77: i format those sticks *each* time | 19:07 |
| holstein | i point unet to the downloaded iso | 19:07 |
| bobweaver | johnny77, is there anything else on the usb ? | 19:07 |
| johnny77 | Nope. I formatted it before using. | 19:08 |
| holstein | i would format again... then use unet and point to a download iso that you have confirmed the checkome on | 19:09 |
| holstein | check sum* | 19:09 |
| johnny77 | how do I confirm the check sum | 19:09 |
| bobweaver | hobgoblin, +1 with the md5sum | 19:09 |
| bobweaver | !md5sum | 19:09 |
| ubot2` | 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 | 19:09 |
| holstein | is the machine capable of booting USB sticks? | 19:10 |
| holstein | has it *ever* booted a USB stick? | 19:10 |
| johnny77 | Yes, I've done it before on both machines. | 19:10 |
| holstein | do you have another machine to test that the USB will boot on? | 19:10 |
| holstein | these can be rhetorical ;) ... just troubleshooting tips | 19:10 |
| === angela-android is now known as nothingspecial | ||
| johnny77 | I'm trying on two different machines that have been booted from the USB before and it's giving me the same error. | 19:11 |
| hobgoblin | bobweaver: I agree with the +1 - not sure why you pinged me though - been a long day here :) | 19:11 |
| johnny77 | Windows does show it as an install ubuntu USB in my computer. | 19:11 |
| philipballew | did you use the wubi or regular iso? | 19:11 |
| holstein | cool... so its the stick.. you nave another stick to test with? | 19:11 |
| johnny77 | no, but I've used this stick to boot from before. Just had ChromeOS on it and booted from it. Formatted then started trying ubuntu. | 19:13 |
| johnny77 | I'm using the desktop iso. | 19:13 |
| bobweaver | johnny77, is there a tutorial that you followed that we could see ? | 19:14 |
| holstein | johnny77: you have confirmed the md5 of the iso? | 19:15 |
| johnny77 | i have not confirmed the md5 yet. | 19:16 |
| johnny77 | bobweaver: tutorial for installing Ubuntu on the USB? | 19:16 |
| holstein | johnny77: confirm the md5... that will make a bunk stick | 19:16 |
| philipballew | the ubuntu download page has a guide, but its with pendrive | 19:17 |
| philipballew | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download | 19:17 |
| johnny77 | I tried pendrive, but it didn't work either. | 19:18 |
| holstein | johnny77: hows that sum? | 19:19 |
| johnny77 | Well, the md5 gave me a whole bunch of errors... That is weird since I downloaded it from ubuntu website. I'll try with unetbootin and get it to download it and go from there. | 19:19 |
| holstein | nah. download it *without* unet | 19:20 |
| holstein | then you can confirm before you make a stick | 19:20 |
| philipballew | johnny77, the ubuntu website might not be the problem. | 19:20 |
| philipballew | you probably had some sort of tcp error and lost some packets coming from the other side of the world when you downloaded the iso | 19:20 |
| holstein | yeah, if its your connection, then the one unet DL's will be bad, and you'll have another stick that dont work | 19:20 |
| johnny77 | I gotta run, I'll try the download again later.. | 19:21 |
| holstein | yup :) | 19:21 |
| holstein | johnny77: good luck! | 19:21 |
| johnny77 | thanks. | 19:21 |

| philipballew | thats what i was gonna suggest next :) | 19:40 |
| ArizonaBay | lol well thanks its really nice of u to want to help | 19:41 |
| ArizonaBay | how can i change the bit torrent client & | 19:41 |
| ArizonaBay | ? | 19:41 |
| ArizonaBay | also how do i i locate the bit torrent client i downloaded | 19:41 |
| ArizonaBay | II did the locate command in the terminal | 19:42 |
| ArizonaBay | but it just shows all the file | 19:42 |
| ArizonaBay | s | 19:42 |
| philipballew | just download a ,torrent file and right click on it and choose properties > open with | 19:42 |
| philipballew | you locate via clicking the ubuntu logo on the side bar and typing in wwhat you want | 19:42 |
| ArizonaBay | yeah but the program doesnt show | 19:42 |
| ArizonaBay | i have to locate the path | 19:42 |
| philipballew | how did you download it? | 19:43 |
| philipballew | ArizonaBay, | 19:43 |
| ArizonaBay | from a website | 19:44 |
| ArizonaBay | i can download it again | 19:44 |
| ArizonaBay | its a magnet file | 19:44 |
| philipballew | check this out | 19:44 |
| philipballew | with apps in ubuntu | 19:45 |
| ArizonaBay | ^ | 19:45 |
| ArizonaBay | ? | 19:45 |
| philipballew | and linux in general you can just search for it with the software center or via say a app remove programs app | 19:45 |
| philipballew | and download from there | 19:45 |
| ArizonaBay | u cant remove defaulta aps :/ | 19:46 |
| ArizonaBay | thats the new ubuntu for u | 19:46 |
| philipballew | yeah you can? | 19:46 |
| ArizonaBay | there are a lot of awful glitches | 19:46 |
| philipballew | who said that? | 19:46 |
| ArizonaBay | i tried it many times | 19:46 |
| philipballew | not true.. | 19:47 |
| philipballew | alright, ill make this fun! | 19:47 |
| philipballew | open a terminal session | 19:47 |
| ArizonaBay | done | 19:48 |
| philipballew | sudo apt-get install qbittorent | 19:48 |
| philipballew | i think thats how its spelled/ | 19:49 |
| ArizonaBay | its installed already | 19:49 |
| ArizonaBay | yes | 19:49 |
| philipballew | and you instelled it via apt-get or the software center, or did you compile it? | 19:49 |
| philipballew | !compile | 19:49 |
| ubot2` | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall | 19:49 |
| philipballew | !checkinstall | 19:50 |
| ubot2` | checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 19:50 |
| ArizonaBay | via software center | 19:51 |
| ArizonaBay | also | 19:51 |
| ArizonaBay | in mozilla i checked on REMEMBER MY CHOICE FOR FILES LIKE THIS... i picked the wrong application and now it wont even download | 19:51 |
| philipballew | so find a maggent link or whatever kinda file your trying to open and right click > properties > open with. Pick whatever you want. If you dont see it there let me know. also feel free to send a spreen shot of what your doing | 19:52 |
| philipballew | I can emplain the software for default apps and even explain how to do it from bash, but this is the easiest way | 19:54 |
| philipballew | ArizonaBay, | 19:56 |
| ArizonaBay | wait | 19:56 |
| * philipballew waits | 19:56 | |
| ArizonaBay | i think i solved the issue temporarily through chrome | 19:56 |
| ArizonaBay | i still need to change the default app | 19:57 |
| ArizonaBay | and | 19:57 |
| ArizonaBay | im going to do what u just said | 19:57 |
| philipballew | alright. try it | 19:57 |
| ArizonaBay | its not working | 20:00 |
| ArizonaBay | i cant download a magnet file | 20:00 |
| ArizonaBay | i just cant | 20:00 |
| ArizonaBay | i dont know why | 20:00 |
| ArizonaBay | but im not able to download a magnet file | 20:00 |
| philipballew | maybe your network blocks the, | 20:00 |
| ArizonaBay | when i click it it opens the Transmission app | 20:00 |
| philipballew | them | 20:00 |
| ArizonaBay | and when i right click it there is none of the SAVE options | 20:01 |
| philipballew | so you did download it? | 20:01 |
| ArizonaBay | i found another torrent site without a legit torrent file and not a manget | 20:01 |
| philipballew | you dont like transmisson, just sudo apt-get purge transmission | 20:01 |
| philipballew | you still have everything set to transmission | 20:02 |
| ArizonaBay | :x | 20:02 |
| ArizonaBay | D: | 20:02 |

| ArizonaBay | does anyone know why downloading in ubuntu is 10 times slower then in windows ? | 20:38 |
| nlsthzn-work | What are you using to download? | 20:39 |
| ArizonaBay | qbittorrent and transmission both gave slow downloading | 20:39 |
| nlsthzn-work | And my downloads are solid under both, windows and ubuntu | 20:39 |
| ArizonaBay | but with qbittorrent its a bit faster | 20:39 |
| ArizonaBay | scratcg that. in both clients it takes me 20 minutes to download 1 episode | 20:40 |
| ArizonaBay | it takes me 5 minutes to do that on windows | 20:40 |
| ArizonaBay | someone explain this to me | 20:40 |
| ArizonaBay | and what can id o | 20:40 |
| nlsthzn-work | Not sure... I have not had issues with torrents... I nornally max out my connection easily... | 20:40 |
| ArizonaBay | :c | 20:41 |
| nlsthzn-work | sounds like the problem is higher up, with your network drivers etc... | 20:41 |
| ArizonaBay | you think :c | 20:42 |
| nlsthzn-work | might be... | 20:42 |
| nlsthzn-work | I can't think of any reasons torrents would be effected seperatly... | 20:43 |
| johnny77 | Hello, I'm back. I can't seem to download Ubuntu correctly - md5sum is giving me all kinds of errors. I've downloaded it several times, direct download, bit torrent, desktop, alternate... | 20:45 |
| elfy | johnny77: shouldn't get an erro with a torrent download | 20:47 |
| johnny77 | elfy: keyword: shouldn't. | 20:48 |
| nlsthzn-work | are you sure you are using the correct check-sum? | 20:48 |
| johnny77 | I'm typing - md5sum -c filename.iso | 20:49 |
| elfy | assuming you are in the correct directory then I only ever md5sum name.iso | 20:49 |
| elfy | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 20:49 |
| Unit193 | -c, --check read MD5 sums from the FILEs and check them means you're reading the md5sum from filename.iso and that's not right. | 20:50 |
| johnny77 | ok, I won't put that in there and I'll try it. But I got a link from here and that is how it said to do it... just letting you guys know. | 20:51 |
| * nlsthzn-work checks his files by burning them and trying to install... always shows a bad download by borking your PC | 20:51 | |
| Unit193 | That link says to: md5sum iso-image.iso or md5sum -c MD5SUMS | 21:02 |
| johnny77 | ok, now I'm getting the right checksum, using md5sum filename.iso But it is still giving me an missing OS error on boot. | 21:15 |
| nlsthzn-work | Is anyone else effected by this bug?!?!!? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/+bug/894112?comments=all | 21:58 |
