[00:02] 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 [00:04] its a toshiba sattelite A665-S6094 quad core [00:05] gypsyblood: you won't ahve a problem with a two year old laptop [00:05] gypsyblood: i've run ubuntu on much older hardware [00:06] yeah, mine is older than that [00:06] 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 [00:07] does your dvd-rw burn cds okay? [00:08] thats what im bout to try with cdrecord with the ubuntu install softwar, making an iso image on this comp [00:08] ah [00:09] im gonna need help with the command line tho for it...that still confuses the hell outa me [00:09] having the hell out of you is a good thing [00:10] 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 [00:11] reminds me of an alice in chains "heaven beside you, hell within" [00:11] alice in chains song [00:11] 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] peace to us all [00:11] yeah, home folder [00:11] yeah alice in chains is awesome [00:13] 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 [00:14] the file name is ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso [00:14] cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=2,0 /home/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso [00:14] you may want to increase the speed [00:15] k im gonna try it on the low speed first tho for this first test run [00:15] oh, it should be /home/username/ubuntu...iso [00:15] assuming you put it in the root of your home folder [00:16] ok...and the username is the account that im logged into? like on the login screen? [00:16] yeah [00:16] k just making sure [00:17] in the terminal you can use the "cd" command to change to the directory that has the file [00:19] ok so what directory do i need to change to? i put it in home folder [00:21] cd /home/username [00:21] try that [00:21] then type "ls" to see if it's there [00:22] if it's there, then run the cdrecord command [00:23] 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" [00:24] ok nvm...i was doing it wrong...got it there now [00:25] it is [00:26] there i mean [00:26] oh, then you're already there [00:26] what happens when you type ls? [00:26] do you see your file? [00:27] yeah its there...i entered the command line and it gave me this [00:27] cdrecord: No write mode specified. cdrecord: Assuming -sao mode. cdrecord: If your drive does not accept -sao, try -tao. cdrecord: Future versions of cdrecord may have different drive dependent defaults.

[00:42] 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] i dunno, it was a silly idea [00:42] ironically, the new dvd players have like usb ports on them and wifi and junk [00:43] or, well, perhaps not ironically [00:43] coincidentally [00:43] 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 [00:44] i had a car once that someone stole my cd player out of...i wired in a portably dvd player to the speakers lol [00:45] portable* [00:45] so far so good...its about halfway done [00:45] so i use the same command line for dvd's as well? [00:47] i think so, there doesn't appear to be a dvd option [00:48] at least that i saw [00:49] k...i think ill try that next, its almost done with this [00:50] could i get you to put the command line for turning something into and .iso again plz? [00:50] into *an* [00:51] 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 [00:52] 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 [00:53] mkisofs -R -o cdimage.raw /path-to-certain-VIDEO_TS folder [00:55] and the /path-to-certain..etc is like the /home/gypsy/ubuntu......iso right? same thing just to whatever the VIDEO_TS is? [00:56] yes [00:56] here's a command-line i've kept up over the years: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1208021/ [00:56] command-line file [00:56] ok cool, thnx so much for all your help [00:56] \o [00:57] i mean, see you [00:57] and yeah...that iso did burn onto the cd doing it that way [00:59] ok im off to experiment with trying a dvd now, take it easy, and again, thnx alot === TheMaster is now known as Unit193 [08:08] hi all how to solve this error message: Gtk-WARNING **: GtkSpinButton: setting an adjustment with non-zero page size is deprecated === bodhizazen is now known as Guest93220 [13:05] hello? [13:06] anyone hee? [13:06] here [13:06] lol... [13:06] <__pem__> Just arriving [13:07] my windows is crapped out [13:07] so this ubuntu was on it [13:07] now i have no idea how to use linux [13:07] or install a program [13:08] <__pem__> you should be able to hop on your CD or USBstick that you used for your install [13:10] no i had this cpu giving to me [13:10] with this stuff already installed [13:10] omfghelp, What version on ubuntu? [13:11] i think 6.10 [13:11] im not sure i dont know much how to navigate around [13:11] exit [13:11] this is my first time in linux [13:13] 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 [13:14] <__pem__> how did you started your installation? [13:14] ok thanks i will check it out [13:14] but i dont know how to install it [13:15] omfghelp: you'll need to download and burn a live CD for a newer version [13:15] omfghelp, In terms of learning about ubuntu in general, this is a great place to start: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index [13:15] the boot from the cd and follow the instructions [13:16] oh ok [13:17] so i can update anything till then [13:17] im trying to get a wireless manager [13:17] so i dont have to be connected direct [13:17] 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 [13:18] i have no idea [13:18] i never used linux [13:18] 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] windows took a crap so thatas why i am on this [13:18] ok well thanks guys [13:19] Good luck! [13:19] take care cyaz [13:19] 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 [19:25] Anyone able to offer some assistance locking down shared memory [19:27] DiNgL3: i will if i can [19:27] Oh brilliant thanks [19:28] 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] 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 [19:29] I've been getting ddos lots the last few days and need to get my live servers secured ASAP [19:29] i haven't done that before, have you tried #ubuntu-server ? [19:30] Hmmm no ill try there and serif I have any luck thank you for looking and trying ;) [19:31] 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 [19:32] Ah nice one thank you so much [19:33] It won't let me in the security one for some reason [19:34] DiNgL3: yeah, it redirects to #ubuntu-hardened, same thing [19:36] Cheers [19:36] :) \o [19:36] Cheers [19:38] 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 [19:54] meditatingfrog: I'm not getting any luck in the other channels ;( [19:56] DiNgL3: you may have to be patient, it's a weekend :| [19:56] meditatingfrog: Yeah that's true I suppose [19:58] 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 [20:06] 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 [20:07] Sorry if that sounds really noobish but to be honest I am a Linux noob really [20:09] who isn't? [20:09] no, i'm saying to try the mount command outside of /etc/fstab just to troubleshoot [20:15] 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 [20:18] sudo mount -t tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs [20:19] make sure there's a "tmpfs" folder [20:19] in fact, i don't think that will work, the 2nd tmpfs *i think* should be a path [20:19] assuming a mount command is the same @ a terminal as in /etc/fstab [20:27] One sec I'll try that now and let you know [20:29] mount: mount point tmpfs does not exist [20:30] yeah, the 2nd tmpfs needs to be the path to a directory [20:30] like ~/tmpfs or something [20:30] or /home/username/tmpfs [20:57] Ok so I need to create a directory? [20:57] 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] DiNgL3: yeah [21:09] meditatingfrog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1209763/ [21:13] DiNgL3: why did you paste that? [21:14] So it looks like tmpfs is at /run so I presume I change the line in /etc/fstab [21:20] tmpfs is a type of file system [21:21] i *think*, i mean, that's what the mount -t is doing, -t is type [21:22] DiNgL3: i think what should be the path at the end of the mount command is /run [21:23] so sudo mount -t tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs [21:23] should be sudo mount -t tmpfs /dev/shm /run [21:28] bbl [21:54] Hello! I need help - I am trying to get an ubuntu server to automatically power up and reboot after a power out [21:54] The bios settings are ok [21:54] but the system doesn't boot - it just gets to the select a boot option screen [21:54] then it waits [21:55] I thought I would just have to go into Grub and change the timeout settings [21:55] but grub is not installed! [21:55] How does it ever launch itself? [21:56] anyway, should I install grub? or will that interfere with whatever is in there already for starting the system... [22:33] yeehi: it boots under normal conditions though? [23:06] Hi meditatingfrog [23:06] I have solved the problem [23:06] hi yeehi [23:06] I installed grub! [23:06] cool [23:07] I don't know how I got it to go into the the desktop before... [23:07] never installed grub (i mean, aside from a new install) [23:08] what version of ubuntu are you running, meditatingfrog? [23:10] 12.04 [23:10] why?
