LennyNeroHello, some CD/DVD burning guru around? Need help...11:36
Blazemore|WorkAsk your question11:38
LennyNeroI burned a DVD5 disc with udf ( needed for a file >4GB ) and it broke the UTF-8 encoding of a  text file - the text file is completely garbage11:40
LennyNerobut the burned binary  file is OK11:42
geirhayikes, it mangled the file's content?11:52
LennyNerogeirha: yes, at leat it's encoding11:56
geirhaIs the burned file identical to the original or not? e.g. do their md5sums match?11:57
LennyNerogeirha: no, md5sums do not match - but K3B reported succesfull burning (Verify writen data was set ON)12:02
LennyNeromd5sum-ing the binaries now...12:06
geirhaSo possibly it tries to handle text files specially, so that they'll "look good" in windows, linux and mac alike12:07
Blazemore|WorkHow can I alias "pro foo" to "ps aux | grep foo | grep -v grep"12:08
LennyNerogeirha: no, it's not the problem with CRLF vs LF12:10
LennyNerogeirha: the md5sums of the binaries are the same12:11
geirhaLennyNero: What I mean is, it possibly stores the text file in such a way that when you mount the dvd on windows, text files will have a windows codepage and CRLF line endings.12:13
geirhaIn order to do that though, you'd have to know the initial encoding on the file at the creation of the filesystem12:13
geirhaI hardly know anything about udf, so that's just a wild wild guess12:15
LennyNerogeirha: I am using Ubuntu 12.04 only12:15
LennyNerogeirha: the text file is in UTF-812:17
geirhaAnd when you setup the burning session, there's no options regarding character encoding?12:18
=== Blazemore|Work is now known as ManSpike
LennyNerogeirha: I think that all file system setting (ISO9660 or UDF etc) are related to file names, no their content....12:23
geirhaLennyNero: Well, somehow your text file got mangled, so either it's a bad burn of sorts, or udf handles text files specially12:24
geirhaOr perhaps k3b does something nasty12:25
=== ManSpike is now known as Blazemore
LennyNerogeirha: no success on Win -  the text file aslo broken - conclusion: UDF burning is broken.... thanx, bye13:03
CalahanHi, is there a way to prevent users from changing their ident?16:48
CalahanAnyone could please help me understand how can i set fixed ident?16:56
cortmanwhat do you mean Calahan ?17:03
Clone2hello17:40
bioterrorhi17:41
Clone2can someone explain the package system in linux?17:42
Calahancortman i figured it out oidentd was what i wanted17:45
CalahanClone2 i think easier to ask what exactly you want to do?17:46
CalahanClone2 apt-get and aptitude are commants for finding and installing packages.17:47
bioterrorClone2, yes17:47
CalahanClone2 https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/package-management.html17:47
bioterror!apt | Clone217:47
ubot2`Clone2: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE)17:47
bioterrorthat technically gives you the tools for about everything ;)17:48
Clone2thanks guys17:48
MedialeakzHello20:44
Medialeakz:)20:44
MedialeakzAm i in the right channel ?20:44
MedialeakzLOL20:44
holsteinMedialeakz: depends.. what channel are you looking for?20:44
MedialeakzI just need some help installing mysql database server20:44
holsteinMedialeakz: you can always check the /topic right when you /join a channel and see if its where you want to be, and if there are any guidelines20:45
holsteinMedialeakz: you can always open whatever package manager you are comfortable using and search mysql20:45
holsteinhere are a few other options...20:45
holsteinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP20:46
MedialeakzI've installed it. Somewhere down the line i did something wrong.20:46
Medialeakz:(20:46
holsteinthough, that will be the entire LAMP stack...20:46
holsteinhttps://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/mysql.html is just mysql20:46
holsteinsorry... https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/mysql.html20:46
MedialeakzLOL20:47
holsteinalso, if you are new to servers, you might want to consider something like http://www.turnkeylinux.org/lampstack20:47
holsteinthey are ubuntu based, and come preconfigured, and also run great live if you want/need to test something20:47
holsteinMedialeakz: if you've installed it, then you dont need help installing it.. you can share error messages if you like, and we can see what we can do20:48
MedialeakzOkay20:49
MedialeakzThis is my first time installing Ubuntu20:49
holsteinMedialeakz: then, i would suggest one of the turnkey linux versions...20:50
MedialeakzI have installed webmin,20:51
MedialeakzI am so lost.20:51
MedialeakzLOL20:51
holsteinMedialeakz: that comes pre configured on those live CD's i linked20:52
holsteinMedialeakz: you can literally take full semester long classes on mysql20:52
holsteinto come to an IRC channel and expect to "learn" it, might be a bit ambitious20:53
holsteini learned a lot from running te turnkey live environments, and theres no reason why you cant install them and use them, since they are ubuntu20:53
MedialeakzSo Turnkey is another version of Ubuntu ?20:54
holsteinMedialeakz: turnkey uses ubuntu, and "configures" things, such as the things you are asking about.. so its arguably easier for a new comer20:55
holsteinthey use ubuntu as the base20:55
holsteinyou can download one, try it live... hate it, kick it out and never use it.. you can run it live, kind of half like it, and learn about how mysql works and maybe help get your system working20:56
holsteinyou can love it, and just install it and use it...20:56
holsteina broad spectrum,... but, unless you are willing to do some serious research and study, i would try the turnkey20:56
holsteintheres a reason why these systems have admins and techs that go to school and study for years to get where they are20:57
holsteinits not something you'll sneak up on overnight20:57
MedialeakzOkay20:58
MedialeakzLet me try it.20:58
Medialeakz:)20:58
