| meditatingfrog | hello duanedesign | 21:44 |
| duanedesign | meditatingfrog, up to anything interesting/exciting this evening | 21:45 |
| duanedesign | i am just doing homework | 21:45 |
| meditatingfrog | interesting for me? yes | 21:46 |
| meditatingfrog | interesting for you? i shouldn't say | 21:46 |
| meditatingfrog | exciting? definitely not | 21:46 |
| meditatingfrog | at least, hopefully not | 21:46 |
| duanedesign | :) | 21:46 |
| meditatingfrog | math? programming? | 21:46 |
| duanedesign | whatcha up to? | 21:46 |
| meditatingfrog | i was working on a web comic a little while ago | 21:47 |
| duanedesign | I am doing networking homework | 21:47 |
| meditatingfrog | took the puppy for a walk | 21:47 |
| duanedesign | meditatingfrog, thats cool | 21:47 |
| meditatingfrog | networking, i don't envy you | 21:47 |
| duanedesign | yeaah | 21:47 |
| duanedesign | it is a headache | 21:47 |
| duanedesign | have to learn all the old standards along with the new | 21:48 |
| meditatingfrog | maybe take breaks, i was inking the webcomic using gimp and got tired of sitting in this hard wooden chair | 21:48 |
| meditatingfrog | memorize | 21:48 |
| meditatingfrog | ipv6 stuff? | 21:48 |
| meditatingfrog | OSI layer? | 21:48 |
| duanedesign | OSI 7 layer model, TCP/IP | 21:49 |
| meditatingfrog | someone needs to make an OSI 7 layer song so it's easier to remember | 21:49 |
| duanedesign | ethernet | 21:49 |
| meditatingfrog | i tried to get my CISCO cert awhile back but couldn't do it | 21:49 |
| gypsyblood | hey im having a problem with my burner -SCSI error on write(1056,16): [3 0C 00] Write error- any ideas? thnx | 21:51 |
| duanedesign | this book is geared towards CompTIA Network+ certification | 21:52 |
| duanedesign | gypsyblood, can you put a CD in with data and it reads? | 21:54 |
| meditatingfrog | duanedesign: ++ | 21:55 |
| duanedesign | is it only burning you are having issues with? | 21:55 |
| gypsyblood | yes...it reads fine...just wont burn | 21:55 |
| gypsyblood | had the problem when still had windows...and just put ubuntu on my pc yesterday, and today tried it out with same problem...new error code | 21:56 |
| duanedesign | are you trying the slowest burn speed? | 21:56 |
| gypsyblood | dont know...let me try another burn real quick and make sure i choose slowest burn speed, brb to let you know | 21:57 |
| gypsyblood | nope, same issue, it does the "creating checksum" thing, then as soon as it starts to write it says "ejecting medium" and then gives that same error code | 22:02 |
| duanedesign | gypsyblood, all the forum posts point to this bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cdrkit/+bug/149076 | 22:03 |
| ubot2 | Launchpad bug 149076 in cdrkit "I can't write a cd" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 22:03 |
| gypsyblood | hmm..ok im not the most computer savvy person...is this something that can be relatively easily fixed? | 22:04 |
| gypsyblood | ok...i just read that link..bout to try what it says | 22:05 |
| gypsyblood | it gives me an error when i try to install the cdrtools one...i dont really know much about linux and not sure if i was doing it right...i downloaded it, opened the file, chose the "install" file that was in there, is that right? | 22:13 |
| gypsyblood | tar: cdrtools-3.01/INSTALL: Cannot hard link to `cdrtools-3.01/README.compile': No such file or directory tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors | 22:16 |
| gypsyblood | thats what it said in the command line output | 22:16 |
| duanedesign | gypsyblood, are you running 32 or 64 bit ubuntu? | 22:26 |
| gypsyblood | 64 | 22:26 |
| duanedesign | if you run the command - sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brandonsnider/cdrtools | 22:28 |
| duanedesign | you should then be able to run the command - sudo apt-get update | 22:29 |
| duanedesign | finally - sudo apt-get install cdrtools | 22:30 |
| gypsyblood | im sorry...but that is all greek to me...i dont know how to run commands and all...would it be too much trouble for you to explain how to do that? | 22:30 |
| duanedesign | gypsyblood, open a Terminal | 22:32 |
| duanedesign | then type these commands followed by return one at a time | 22:32 |
| duanedesign | here are the three commands in a pastebin - http://pastebin.com/rVyQxp1M | 22:33 |
| gypsyblood | ok how do i open a terminal? | 22:33 |
| duanedesign | type - alt + f2 | 22:35 |
| duanedesign | then enter - gnome terminal | 22:35 |
| duanedesign | that should open a Terminal | 22:35 |
| duanedesign | that might be gnome-terminal | 22:36 |
| gypsyblood | nope...it didnt open anything | 22:36 |
| gypsyblood | oh ok...leme try that | 22:36 |
| duanedesign | sorry not at an ubuntu box :) | 22:37 |
| gypsyblood | lol np, i appreciate you taking the time to help me...even if dont get the problem figured out, i thank you very much | 22:37 |
| gypsyblood | ok got the terminal open now...so i just copy and paste the stuff on that link? | 22:38 |
| duanedesign | go to http://pastebin.com/rVyQxp1M | 22:39 |
| duanedesign | type command 1 and hit return | 22:39 |
| duanedesign | when it is done type command 2 and hit return | 22:39 |
| duanedesign | this command willl print a bunch of stuff, ignore it | 22:40 |
| duanedesign | finally the 3rd command will install the pachage | 22:40 |
| gypsyblood | i did the 3rd one and said unable to find package | 22:41 |
| gypsyblood | so how should i download the package? cuz evidently i did something wrong with that for it not to be able to locate it | 22:42 |
| meditatingfrog | just a thought, but would purging the bad package and reinstalling the good package do the trick? | 22:43 |
| duanedesign | what version of ubuntu are you running | 22:43 |
| gypsyblood | 12.04 | 22:43 |
| gypsyblood | mediatoringfrog, i have never installed this at all, just downloaded the package for the first time | 22:44 |
| duanedesign | gypsyblood, try the command - sudo apt-get install cdrecord mkisofs | 22:45 |
| duanedesign | that is what cdrtools installs | 22:46 |
| meditatingfrog | !tab | gypsyblood | 22:46 |
| ubot2 | gypsyblood: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 22:46 |
| meditatingfrog | gypsyblood: do what duanedesign said | 22:47 |
| gypsyblood | ubot2: oh ok cool...thanks | 22:47 |
| ubot2 | gypsyblood: Error: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:47 |
| duanedesign | have to get back to homework, best of luck | 22:49 |
| gypsyblood | duanedesign: ok yeah i think that did something...it removed some old stuff and reset up things...so now i should be able to find it in the Dash Home? | 22:49 |
| meditatingfrog | thanks duanedesign | 22:49 |
| meditatingfrog | gypsyblood: yeah, keep going until it either works, or you get an error again | 22:49 |
| gypsyblood | yeah thnx, good luck with homework | 22:50 |
| gypsyblood | meditatingfrog: hmm...i dont know what to do after that command he gave me to do lol, so how do i keep going? | 22:52 |
| meditatingfrog | gypsyblood: run cdrecord | 22:52 |
| gypsyblood | meditatingfrog: where from, i didnt see it when i typed it in the Dash Home | 22:53 |
| meditatingfrog | how you ran it the last time, it may have a different name, i think it's brasero | 22:54 |
| gypsyblood | oh ok, so that cdrecord runs with brasero? ok i was thinking that cdrecord was a completely different program | 22:54 |
| duanedesign | cdrecord is a terminal tool. so you will need to run a command in terminal to burn cd http://sharkysoft.com/tutorials/linuxtips/cdcommands/ | 22:54 |
| duanedesign | more info - http://solar.physics.montana.edu/sol_phys/help/cd_writer.html | 22:55 |
| gypsyblood | oh great...all new headache lol...but gotta learn sometime i suppose, now to just figure out all the commands, thnx so much for all the help | 22:56 |
| duanedesign | i know it is a lot of info. You may be able to find simpler instructions searching for ' ubuntu cdrecord burning CD' or something like that | 22:57 |
| gypsyblood | does this cdrecord work for dvd's as well? | 22:57 |
| meditatingfrog | you'll have to do a google search, there's no man page for cdrecord | 22:58 |
| meditatingfrog | i'm not sure why you aren't using brasero, i thought that was the default program | 23:01 |
| gypsyblood | thats the program that gave me the error message | 23:02 |
| meditatingfrog | well we didn't reinstall brasero | 23:03 |
| gypsyblood | SCSI error on write(1056,16): [3 0C 00] Write error is what it gave as soon as write started | 23:03 |
| gypsyblood | so you think i should try that? uninstall and reinstall? | 23:03 |
| meditatingfrog | i thought we replaced cdrecord because that's what was being used | 23:04 |
| meditatingfrog | you can purge brasero and reinstall it | 23:04 |
| === Guest56625 is now known as ntwrk_keith | ||
| meditatingfrog | how old is your scsi drive? | 23:05 |
| meditatingfrog | gypsyblood: sudo apt-get purge brasero ... then sudo apt-get install brasero | 23:05 |
| gypsyblood | ok, ill try that...but the cdrecord was a program that the link duanedesign recommended trying | 23:05 |
| gypsyblood | i dont think i ever said what program i was trying to use tho...come to think of it | 23:07 |
| gypsyblood | and i dont know what "scsi" means by the way...and dont know how to find out how old it is | 23:08 |
| gypsyblood | i just used those commands tho and about to try another burn with that program | 23:08 |
| meditatingfrog | scsi is an interface type for data devices, like hard drives and stuff. i think it may be obsolete now, but it's still in software. it used to be the fastest. you can look up the acronym on acronymfinder.com or look it up on http://wikipedia.org | 23:12 |
| meditatingfrog | yeah, he was trying to find the bug for you on http://launchpad.net | 23:12 |
| gypsyblood | what does "sudo" and "apt-get" and all that mean? is there a good place to go for a list of all the commands in the terminal and what they do? | 23:13 |
| meditatingfrog | type man apt-get | 23:13 |
| meditatingfrog | on your system | 23:14 |
| meditatingfrog | there are also manpages online gypsyblood | 23:14 |
| meditatingfrog | gypsyblood: http://manpages.ubuntu.com | 23:14 |
| meditatingfrog | cool nick btw | 23:14 |
| gypsyblood | SCSI error on write(1040,16): [3 0C 00] Write error this tie got that error code, a 1040 instead of 1056 =( | 23:15 |
| gypsyblood | ok cool thnx, ill have to check that out | 23:15 |
| meditatingfrog | gypsyblood: tie? | 23:15 |
| gypsyblood | oh *time* lol | 23:16 |
| gypsyblood | i think it might have something to do with hardware maybe...how do i check to see if the hardware is functioning properly in ubuntu? | 23:18 |
| meditatingfrog | i think there may be a cdr test in brasero , gypsyblood | 23:22 |
| meditatingfrog | otherwise, you can try using the hardware with another OS | 23:22 |
| meditatingfrog | or replace the drive with the same model drive | 23:22 |
| gypsyblood | it didnt work in windows either...but in the hardware list it said it was working properly | 23:23 |
| gypsyblood | looking for the cdr test now tho | 23:23 |
| meditatingfrog | gypsyblood: no, it was a disc integrity check | 23:24 |
| gypsyblood | yeah i was just about to ask you if thats what you were talking about | 23:24 |
| meditatingfrog | gypsyblood: are you trying to burn an iso? has the drive worked before? how did you install 12.04? | 23:25 |
| gypsyblood | no trying a VIDEO_TS file folder, which it use to work just fine doing that, installed 12.04 by burning an .iso image on a different computer and installed from cd | 23:26 |
| gypsyblood | thats what confuses me...it reads everything i stick in it...just wont burn | 23:27 |
| meditatingfrog | what model drive is in the other computer? | 23:27 |
| meditatingfrog | well, i'm sure the burning process is different than reading | 23:28 |
| gypsyblood | its a desktop...im on a laptop now, so wont work if your thinking about swapping em out | 23:28 |
| meditatingfrog | so, different model | 23:28 |
| gypsyblood | yes | 23:28 |
| gypsyblood | do you know how to access someones computer so that you can check the computer out? | 23:29 |
| gypsyblood | if so, would you? | 23:29 |
| meditatingfrog | i think i know the theory | 23:29 |
| meditatingfrog | like to ssh in | 23:30 |
| gypsyblood | like the remote access thing | 23:30 |
| meditatingfrog | and there's a remote desktop application that i've never used | 23:30 |
| meditatingfrog | but i don't think that will help, otherwise i would do it all the time lol | 23:30 |
| meditatingfrog | maybe someone else has some ideas, you can stick around and ask later, i'm not sure when this place gets hopping | 23:31 |
| gypsyblood | lol...just thought maybe you would be able to check the problem im having better if you were able to control my comp and check out what you needed to since im not too good with computers | 23:31 |
| meditatingfrog | i wouldn't have anything else to try | 23:31 |
| meditatingfrog | if i think of something i'll let you know | 23:32 |
| gypsyblood | oh i c | 23:32 |
| meditatingfrog | i mean, not anything that i haven't already said | 23:32 |
| meditatingfrog | i searched google for the error, didn't really find anything there. | 23:32 |
| gypsyblood | yeah, i did same...a bunch of other errors came up | 23:32 |
| meditatingfrog | but you did say it used to work, right? | 23:32 |
| gypsyblood | correct | 23:32 |
| gypsyblood | my hard drive got corrupted, put another hard drive in, installed windows 7 back in it, burner worked for a while, then i started getting that error code | 23:34 |
| gypsyblood | in that order | 23:34 |
| gypsyblood | and windows just kept aggrivating me with its slow loading and how easy it was to get viruses on it...so yesterday i decided to put linux on it to try it out...was hoping that would also allow me to use my burner again, but as you can see it didnt | 23:36 |
| meditatingfrog | you should see if you can try burning with cdrecord | 23:36 |
| meditatingfrog | and if not that, you can try k3b | 23:36 |
| meditatingfrog | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1793961 | 23:37 |
| meditatingfrog | i've never tried k3b fyi | 23:37 |
| gypsyblood | does cdrecord burn dvd's? thats all i have available at the moment that i can burn | 23:37 |
| gypsyblood | if so...what commands do i need to enter? | 23:39 |
| meditatingfrog | gypsyblood: probably, verify it does w/ a google search | 23:40 |
| meditatingfrog | i'll research the commands in the man page | 23:40 |
| meditatingfrog | oh right...w/ a google search no man page :( | 23:40 |
| meditatingfrog | gypsyblood: apparently one makes an iso first with mkisofs -R -o cdimage.rw /home/data | 23:43 |
| meditatingfrog | then cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=2,0 cdimage.raw | 23:43 |
| meditatingfrog | but there are a ton of options | 23:44 |
| meditatingfrog | http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_cdrecor.htm | 23:44 |
| gypsyblood | ok so how do i choose a certain VIDEO_TS file folder to turn into an .iso? | 23:44 |
| meditatingfrog | mkisofs -R -o cdimage.raw /path-to-certain-VIDEO_TS folder | 23:47 |

| meditatingfrog | looks fine to me, i mean, it didn't say there were any errors | 23:52 |
| meditatingfrog | there was that warning | 23:52 |
| gypsyblood | yeah... the Cannot read drive buffer and DMA speed test being skipped | 23:52 |
| meditatingfrog | did you try burning a disc? | 23:54 |
| meditatingfrog | i dunno, may be better to use your other system | 23:54 |
| meditatingfrog | that you made your iso on, does it have a dvd burner? | 23:54 |
| gypsyblood | im turning on the other computer to get the .iso for ubuntu install, gonna stick it on here and try to burn that | 23:55 |
| meditatingfrog | hopefully it works, i don't know what dvd discs cost these days, i haven't bought any | 23:56 |
| gypsyblood | eh...i have a bunch...and dont really use them any more, mainly just turn stuff into .avi and watch it with a usb drive on my ps3...i just want to get my burner working cuz i dont like not haveing stuff working | 23:57 |
| meditatingfrog | i just have cdr's anymore | 23:58 |
| meditatingfrog | what year did you buy your laptop? | 23:58 |
| meditatingfrog | i heard older linux kernels may work with older hardware | 23:59 |
| meditatingfrog | may work better, that is | 23:59 |
| meditatingfrog | just what i heard though, not sure if it's true | 23:59 |
| meditatingfrog | i may find out, this notebook isn't getting any younger | 23:59 |
