| gypsyblood | sry went to living room to get the iso for ubunto copying onto flashdrive..gonna be 5 min...and it was a couple years ago i got this laptop | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| gypsyblood | its a toshiba sattelite A665-S6094 quad core | 00:04 |
| histo | gypsyblood: you won't ahve a problem with a two year old laptop | 00:05 |
| histo | gypsyblood: i've run ubuntu on much older hardware | 00:05 |
| meditatingfrog | yeah, mine is older than that | 00:06 |
| gypsyblood | histo: yeah i got it on here now...it runs good, i like ubuntu alot so far, just cant get my burner to work, had problem in windows too | 00:06 |
| meditatingfrog | does your dvd-rw burn cds okay? | 00:07 |
| gypsyblood | thats what im bout to try with cdrecord with the ubuntu install softwar, making an iso image on this comp | 00:08 |
| meditatingfrog | ah | 00:08 |
| gypsyblood | im gonna need help with the command line tho for it...that still confuses the hell outa me | 00:09 |
| meditatingfrog | having the hell out of you is a good thing | 00:09 |
| gypsyblood | lol yeah i dont believe in hell...but the common belief of hell is definitely a good thing to have out of you lol, so i cant argue there | 00:10 |
| meditatingfrog | reminds me of an alice in chains "heaven beside you, hell within" | 00:11 |
| meditatingfrog | alice in chains song | 00:11 |
| gypsyblood | ok should i put the .iso in my home folder? where would be the easiest place to put it to try this with cdrecord? | 00:11 |
| meditatingfrog | peace to us all | 00:11 |
| meditatingfrog | yeah, home folder | 00:11 |
| gypsyblood | yeah alice in chains is awesome | 00:11 |
| gypsyblood | ok its in my home folder now...can you give me the command line that i need to type to make it burn to the cd | 00:13 |
| gypsyblood | the file name is ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso | 00:14 |
| meditatingfrog | cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=2,0 /home/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso | 00:14 |
| meditatingfrog | you may want to increase the speed | 00:14 |
| gypsyblood | k im gonna try it on the low speed first tho for this first test run | 00:15 |
| meditatingfrog | oh, it should be /home/username/ubuntu...iso | 00:15 |
| meditatingfrog | assuming you put it in the root of your home folder | 00:15 |
| gypsyblood | ok...and the username is the account that im logged into? like on the login screen? | 00:16 |
| meditatingfrog | yeah | 00:16 |
| gypsyblood | k just making sure | 00:16 |
| meditatingfrog | in the terminal you can use the "cd" command to change to the directory that has the file | 00:17 |
| gypsyblood | ok so what directory do i need to change to? i put it in home folder | 00:19 |
| meditatingfrog | cd /home/username | 00:21 |
| meditatingfrog | try that | 00:21 |
| meditatingfrog | then type "ls" to see if it's there | 00:21 |
| meditatingfrog | if it's there, then run the cdrecord command | 00:22 |
| gypsyblood | ok...it says in properties that the location is home/gypsy ....but when i type "cd home/gypsy" in the terminal it says"bash: cd: home/gypsy: No such file or directory" | 00:23 |
| gypsyblood | ok nvm...i was doing it wrong...got it there now | 00:24 |
| gypsyblood | it is | 00:25 |
| gypsyblood | there i mean | 00:26 |
| meditatingfrog | oh, then you're already there | 00:26 |
| meditatingfrog | what happens when you type ls? | 00:26 |
| meditatingfrog | do you see your file? | 00:26 |
| gypsyblood | yeah its there...i entered the command line and it gave me this | 00:27 |

| meditatingfrog | maybe i should try to ssh in | 00:30 |
| meditatingfrog | otherwise you have to type cdrecord -scanbus | 00:31 |
| meditatingfrog | and see what dev= should be set to | 00:31 |
| meditatingfrog | you should get something like this: scsibus3: | 00:31 |

| meditatingfrog | it's quiet so it probably doesn't matter, but i don't want a bot kicking you or something | 00:36 |
| meditatingfrog | so it's 4,1,0 | 00:36 |
| meditatingfrog | or 4,1 | 00:36 |
| gypsyblood | oh...i didnt know about that | 00:36 |
| meditatingfrog | oh, no, wait, 4,0,0 | 00:36 |
| meditatingfrog | no worries | 00:36 |
| gypsyblood | how do i that paste.ubuntu.com thing? | 00:36 |
| meditatingfrog | just go to the site, paste what you have, then it gives you a link after you submit it | 00:37 |
| meditatingfrog | then paste the link | 00:37 |
| gypsyblood | oh ok...yeah, leme write that down...i have a feeling im gonna need it lol | 00:37 |
| gypsyblood | ok got that wrote down...now use the 4,0,0 for the dev? | 00:39 |
| gypsyblood | ok yeah that was it | 00:40 |
| gypsyblood | bout to find out if its gonna work | 00:40 |
| meditatingfrog | cool | 00:40 |
| meditatingfrog | so you're making a movie disc to watch on a dvd player? | 00:41 |
| meditatingfrog | i had this old dvd player i cracked open, i wanted to see if there was someway i could route video from an old computer through it to a tv or something somehow | 00:42 |
| meditatingfrog | i dunno, it was a silly idea | 00:42 |
| meditatingfrog | ironically, the new dvd players have like usb ports on them and wifi and junk | 00:42 |
| meditatingfrog | or, well, perhaps not ironically | 00:43 |
| meditatingfrog | coincidentally | 00:43 |
| gypsyblood | yeah..i use to burn alot of dvd's...now tho i primarily use a flashdrive and my ps3 instead of using so many blank disks | 00:43 |
| gypsyblood | i had a car once that someone stole my cd player out of...i wired in a portably dvd player to the speakers lol | 00:44 |
| gypsyblood | portable* | 00:45 |
| gypsyblood | so far so good...its about halfway done | 00:45 |
| gypsyblood | so i use the same command line for dvd's as well? | 00:45 |
| meditatingfrog | i think so, there doesn't appear to be a dvd option | 00:47 |
| meditatingfrog | at least that i saw | 00:48 |
| gypsyblood | k...i think ill try that next, its almost done with this | 00:49 |
| gypsyblood | could i get you to put the command line for turning something into and .iso again plz? | 00:50 |
| gypsyblood | into *an* | 00:50 |
| gypsyblood | and then after that im just gonna do alot of studying as far as the different commands go...i like using the terminal, just need to learn it better | 00:51 |
| gypsyblood | i remember when i was a kid, on my dads old computer we had to use the command prompt for everything, so i wasnt half bad at it...but thats been about 15 years or so since i had to use that | 00:52 |
| meditatingfrog | mkisofs -R -o cdimage.raw /path-to-certain-VIDEO_TS folder | 00:53 |
| gypsyblood | and the /path-to-certain..etc is like the /home/gypsy/ubuntu......iso right? same thing just to whatever the VIDEO_TS is? | 00:55 |
| meditatingfrog | yes | 00:56 |
| meditatingfrog | here's a command-line i've kept up over the years: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1208021/ | 00:56 |
| meditatingfrog | command-line file | 00:56 |
| gypsyblood | ok cool, thnx so much for all your help | 00:56 |
| meditatingfrog | \o | 00:56 |
| meditatingfrog | i mean, see you | 00:57 |
| gypsyblood | and yeah...that iso did burn onto the cd doing it that way | 00:57 |
| gypsyblood | ok im off to experiment with trying a dvd now, take it easy, and again, thnx alot | 00:59 |

| omfghelp | hello? | 13:05 |
| omfghelp | anyone hee? | 13:06 |
| omfghelp | here | 13:06 |
| omfghelp | lol... | 13:06 |
| __pem__ | Just arriving | 13:06 |
| omfghelp | my windows is crapped out | 13:07 |
| omfghelp | so this ubuntu was on it | 13:07 |
| omfghelp | now i have no idea how to use linux | 13:07 |
| omfghelp | or install a program | 13:07 |
| __pem__ | you should be able to hop on your CD or USBstick that you used for your install | 13:08 |
| omfghelp | no i had this cpu giving to me | 13:10 |
| omfghelp | with this stuff already installed | 13:10 |
| Sidewinder1 | omfghelp, What version on ubuntu? | 13:10 |
| omfghelp | i think 6.10 | 13:11 |
| omfghelp | im not sure i dont know much how to navigate around | 13:11 |
| bagus | exit | 13:11 |
| omfghelp | this is my first time in linux | 13:11 |
| Sidewinder1 | omfghelp, Well, if you're correct, 6.10 went "End of Life" 7/14/2009 and is no longer supported; the current versions are 10.04 and 12.04. Here's a link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29 | 13:13 |
| __pem__ | how did you started your installation? | 13:14 |
| omfghelp | ok thanks i will check it out | 13:14 |
| omfghelp | but i dont know how to install it | 13:14 |
| gsteinert | omfghelp: you'll need to download and burn a live CD for a newer version | 13:15 |
| Sidewinder1 | omfghelp, In terms of learning about ubuntu in general, this is a great place to start: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index | 13:15 |
| gsteinert | the boot from the cd and follow the instructions | 13:15 |
| omfghelp | oh ok | 13:16 |
| omfghelp | so i can update anything till then | 13:17 |
| omfghelp | im trying to get a wireless manager | 13:17 |
| omfghelp | so i dont have to be connected direct | 13:17 |
| gsteinert | omfghelp: your best bet is to start with a fresh install. 6.10 is almost 6 years old. a lot has changed in that time | 13:17 |
| omfghelp | i have no idea | 13:18 |
| omfghelp | i never used linux | 13:18 |
| Sidewinder1 | omfghelp, Since you're coming from the windows environment, you might find Lucid Lynx - 10.04 easiest to learn; even though it will go EOL April 2013. | 13:18 |
| omfghelp | windows took a crap so thatas why i am on this | 13:18 |
| omfghelp | ok well thanks guys | 13:18 |
| Sidewinder1 | Good luck! | 13:19 |
| omfghelp | take care cyaz | 13:19 |
| gsteinert | omfghelp: or you could try Kubuntu. it's a version of ubuntu that uses the KDE desktop. the KDE desktop is the most similar to windows imho | 13:19 |
| DiNgL3 | Anyone able to offer some assistance locking down shared memory | 19:25 |
| meditatingfrog | DiNgL3: i will if i can | 19:27 |
| DiNgL3 | Oh brilliant thanks | 19:27 |
| DiNgL3 | im trying to secure some of my websites so have been doing some reading and came across this guide http://www.thefanclub.co.za/node/50 I have created a test lamp server updated to 12.04.1 and started following the guide didn't want to do it on my live sites. I have got to securing the shared memory and im stuck. I add tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0 to the end of /etc/fstab. Once I | 19:28 |
| DiNgL3 | done that I reboot and receive errors upon reboot - mount: unknown filesystem type tmpfs mountall: mount /dev/shm [312] terminated with status 32 mountall: Filesystem could not be mounted /dev/shm fsck from until-linux 2.20.1 | 19:28 |
| DiNgL3 | I've been getting ddos lots the last few days and need to get my live servers secured ASAP | 19:29 |
| meditatingfrog | i haven't done that before, have you tried #ubuntu-server ? | 19:29 |
| DiNgL3 | Hmmm no ill try there and serif I have any luck thank you for looking and trying ;) | 19:30 |
| meditatingfrog | DiNgL3: well give them a shot, and if they can't come back here, someone probably has a lamp server they are setting up. oh, and try #ubuntu-security | 19:31 |
| DiNgL3 | Ah nice one thank you so much | 19:32 |
| DiNgL3 | It won't let me in the security one for some reason | 19:33 |
| meditatingfrog | DiNgL3: yeah, it redirects to #ubuntu-hardened, same thing | 19:34 |
| DiNgL3 | Cheers | 19:36 |
| meditatingfrog | :) \o | 19:36 |
| meditatingfrog | Cheers | 19:36 |
| DiNgL3 | No one seems to want to help me with this and I can find very much nine about it either. I really struggle with Linux it's my least confident operating system by a long way I really wish I had become more familiar with it 5 or so years back | 19:38 |
| DiNgL3 | meditatingfrog: I'm not getting any luck in the other channels ;( | 19:54 |
| meditatingfrog | DiNgL3: you may have to be patient, it's a weekend :| | 19:56 |
| DiNgL3 | meditatingfrog: Yeah that's true I suppose | 19:56 |
| meditatingfrog | DiNgL3: just looked at the error, can you run the mount command that fails in a terminal to see if it works? maybe it's a "rights" issue | 19:58 |
| DiNgL3 | What is the mount command if you look at the guide I was following all I did was add a line of code to /etc/fstab | 20:06 |
| DiNgL3 | Sorry if that sounds really noobish but to be honest I am a Linux noob really | 20:07 |
| meditatingfrog | who isn't? | 20:09 |
| meditatingfrog | no, i'm saying to try the mount command outside of /etc/fstab just to troubleshoot | 20:09 |
| DiNgL3 | Ah right what would I type for the command then if I'm putting this at the end of /etc/fstab tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0 | 20:15 |
| meditatingfrog | sudo mount -t tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs | 20:18 |
| meditatingfrog | make sure there's a "tmpfs" folder | 20:19 |
| meditatingfrog | in fact, i don't think that will work, the 2nd tmpfs *i think* should be a path | 20:19 |
| meditatingfrog | assuming a mount command is the same @ a terminal as in /etc/fstab | 20:19 |
| DiNgL3 | One sec I'll try that now and let you know | 20:27 |
| DiNgL3 | mount: mount point tmpfs does not exist | 20:29 |
| meditatingfrog | yeah, the 2nd tmpfs needs to be the path to a directory | 20:30 |
| meditatingfrog | like ~/tmpfs or something | 20:30 |
| meditatingfrog | or /home/username/tmpfs | 20:30 |
| DiNgL3 | Ok so I need to create a directory? | 20:57 |
| meditatingfrog | any ideas on how to prevent my fluxbox menu from disappearing? it's fine on a boot, but after i've been working for awhile, suspending and stuff it appears to revert back to the gnome desktop | 20:57 |
| meditatingfrog | DiNgL3: yeah | 20:57 |
| DiNgL3 | meditatingfrog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1209763/ | 21:09 |
| meditatingfrog | DiNgL3: why did you paste that? | 21:13 |
| DiNgL3 | So it looks like tmpfs is at /run so I presume I change the line in /etc/fstab | 21:14 |
| meditatingfrog | tmpfs is a type of file system | 21:20 |
| meditatingfrog | i *think*, i mean, that's what the mount -t is doing, -t is type | 21:21 |
| meditatingfrog | DiNgL3: i think what should be the path at the end of the mount command is /run | 21:22 |
| meditatingfrog | so sudo mount -t tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs | 21:23 |
| meditatingfrog | should be sudo mount -t tmpfs /dev/shm /run | 21:23 |
| meditatingfrog | bbl | 21:28 |
| yeehi | Hello! I need help - I am trying to get an ubuntu server to automatically power up and reboot after a power out | 21:54 |
| yeehi | The bios settings are ok | 21:54 |
| yeehi | but the system doesn't boot - it just gets to the select a boot option screen | 21:54 |
| yeehi | then it waits | 21:54 |
| yeehi | I thought I would just have to go into Grub and change the timeout settings | 21:55 |
| yeehi | but grub is not installed! | 21:55 |
| yeehi | How does it ever launch itself? | 21:55 |
| yeehi | anyway, should I install grub? or will that interfere with whatever is in there already for starting the system... | 21:56 |
| meditatingfrog | yeehi: it boots under normal conditions though? | 22:33 |
| yeehi | Hi meditatingfrog | 23:06 |
| yeehi | I have solved the problem | 23:06 |
| meditatingfrog | hi yeehi | 23:06 |
| yeehi | I installed grub! | 23:06 |
| meditatingfrog | cool | 23:06 |
| yeehi | I don't know how I got it to go into the the desktop before... | 23:07 |
| meditatingfrog | never installed grub (i mean, aside from a new install) | 23:07 |
| yeehi | what version of ubuntu are you running, meditatingfrog? | 23:08 |
| meditatingfrog | 12.04 | 23:10 |
| meditatingfrog | why? | 23:10 |
