sharpertongue | i'm confused | 00:17 |
---|---|---|
sharpertongue | will someone help me | 00:17 |
sharpertongue | i've never used IRC | 00:17 |
sharpertongue | is anyone even here... | 00:18 |
sharpertongue | someonnnnne | 00:19 |
valorie | sharpertongue: yes | 00:20 |
valorie | we're here for you | 00:20 |
valorie | you have a question? | 00:20 |
sharpertongue | yeah, about IRC. | 00:21 |
sharpertongue | i'm trying to connect to a Tor chatroom | 00:21 |
sharpertongue | http://www.oftc.net/ | 00:21 |
valorie | on which server? | 00:21 |
sharpertongue | ummmmm | 00:21 |
valorie | ok | 00:21 |
valorie | oftc.net | 00:21 |
valorie | so, what client are you using? | 00:21 |
sharpertongue | konversation | 00:22 |
valorie | I use it also | 00:22 |
sharpertongue | that's good. lol | 00:22 |
valorie | so have you set up oftc.net in your server list? | 00:22 |
sharpertongue | i've tried. | 00:22 |
sharpertongue | idk | 00:22 |
valorie | file > server list.... | 00:22 |
valorie | you can easily check | 00:22 |
valorie | either it's there, or you haven't set it up yet | 00:23 |
sharpertongue | i mean, yeah. i have it set up, but... | 00:23 |
sharpertongue | i don't think the information is correct | 00:23 |
sharpertongue | or something | 00:23 |
valorie | do you connect using SSL? | 00:23 |
sharpertongue | i have no idea... | 00:23 |
sharpertongue | what SSL is | 00:24 |
valorie | ok, then probably not, so the defaults will be fine | 00:24 |
valorie | you'll need to edit your identity within that server | 00:24 |
valorie | if you want to automatically identify to nickserv and so on | 00:24 |
sharpertongue | hmmmm. nickserv | 00:25 |
sharpertongue | what? | 00:25 |
valorie | so click the edit button and you'll see identity up near the top with it's own edit button | 00:25 |
sharpertongue | yeah | 00:25 |
valorie | nickserv is what grants you "sharpertongue" instead of guest xyz | 00:25 |
valorie | so once you have set up an account, you basically /msg nickserv identify Pa55w0rd | 00:26 |
valorie | only the client does it for you, if you set it up there | 00:27 |
sharpertongue | i don't have an account set up? | 00:27 |
sharpertongue | i literally just downloaded this IRC client like 10 minutes ago | 00:28 |
valorie | ah, ok | 00:28 |
sharpertongue | i've never used IRC before so | 00:28 |
valorie | then you can do it when you connect to that server | 00:29 |
sharpertongue | do what? set up an account?? | 00:29 |
valorie | btw, you can be connected to as many servers as you like at one time | 00:29 |
valorie | yes | 00:29 |
sharpertongue | <-- isn't this my account | 00:29 |
* valorie is connected to three servers right now | 00:29 | |
valorie | yes, that is your account with freenode | 00:29 |
sharpertongue | what is freenode | 00:29 |
valorie | if you've never connected to oftc, you have no account there | 00:29 |
sharpertongue | ok | 00:30 |
valorie | every network is different, independent | 00:30 |
valorie | it's like twitter and gmail | 00:30 |
valorie | separate things | 00:30 |
valorie | freenode is the network you are on now | 00:31 |
sharpertongue | i see. | 00:31 |
valorie | big one, hundreds, maybe thousands of channels | 00:31 |
sharpertongue | so what is this /msg command that you spoke about? | 00:31 |
sharpertongue | oh, that's after i set up an account | 00:32 |
valorie | right | 00:32 |
valorie | you use /msg to talk privately to people, services and sometimes bots | 00:32 |
valorie | all commands in irc start with a slash at the beginning of the input line | 00:33 |
valorie | occasionally bot commands are like !irc | 00:33 |
valorie | !irc | 00:33 |
ubottu | A list of official Ubuntu IRC channels, as well as IRC clients for Ubuntu, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat - For a general list of !freenode channels, see http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#channellist - See also !Guidelines | 00:33 |
valorie | weeeee | 00:33 |
sharpertongue | lol | 00:33 |
sharpertongue | understood, thank you. i can't even connect to the tor network to be able to set up an account, though | 00:33 |
sharpertongue | i don't think the server and channel information is correct | 00:34 |
valorie | if you go up to File > server list.... | 00:34 |
valorie | you can set up oftc, and connect | 00:34 |
valorie | check it on the link you gave me above | 00:34 |
sharpertongue | i've tried to. brb i'll show you the log? | 00:34 |
valorie | http://oftc.net | 00:34 |
valorie | sure, paste it somewhere | 00:34 |
valorie | !paste | 00:34 |

valorie | if you care about security, it's worthwhile to read up on SSL | 00:35 |
valorie | I'm not a big security nut, but I use SSL when it is available | 00:35 |
sharpertongue | well, yeah. i value security... and privacy... i'll try to read something about SSL | 00:36 |
sharpertongue | thanks | 00:36 |
sharpertongue | this is the log | 00:36 |

RosettaTrad | Hello everybody | 02:29 |
RosettaTrad | could somebody help me please, I am having a big issue with my Kubuntu installation. I tried to reinstall kubuntu 13.10, since I had many broken packages. I did the install preserving my home directory. During the install, the installer crashed while "Restoring previously installed packages". This broke my entire installation. I get the login window, but my mouse doesn't work. I decided to boot from live CD and do a clean install. Now when I am | 02:36 |
RosettaTrad | trying to copy my folder from my home directory to my external HDD running Dolphin, it doesn't copy due to permission issues. How can I copy the folders from my home folder to my external HDD please ? | 02:36 |
RosettaTrad | Using the GUI if possible ? | 02:37 |
valorie | you might have to use sudo, RosettaTrad | 02:38 |
valorie | or go in and change the permissions | 02:38 |
valorie | which you should be able to do in dolphin | 02:38 |
valorie | also: rsync is about a million times faster then the gui | 02:38 |
valorie | slight exaggeration, but if you do it via gui and compare, you'll agree with me | 02:39 |
RosettaTrad | I am on the live cd session right now. When I am trying to change permissions in dolphin it's greyed out. | 02:39 |
valorie | ok | 02:39 |
valorie | let this be a lesson: do your backup *first* | 02:39 |
valorie | :-) | 02:39 |
valorie | I've learned through sad experience | 02:40 |
valorie | sec and I'll find you my blog post on doing what you are doing | 02:40 |
RosettaTrad | thank you | 02:41 |
valorie | http://linuxgrandma.blogspot.com/2011/04/rsync-level-expert.html | 02:42 |
valorie | you might find http://linuxgrandma.blogspot.com/2011/03/rsync-and-backup-success.html useful as well | 02:42 |
valorie | since I wrote it first | 02:42 |
valorie | we'll help you get the command correct | 02:42 |
valorie | also: with my backup drive, it's important to open it with dolphin before I access it via the cli | 02:43 |
RosettaTrad | ok | 02:43 |
valorie | it has a 'green' component which a lot of the new ones do, which tells it to spin down if nothing is happening | 02:43 |
valorie | and then it's no longer accessable | 02:44 |
valorie | mounting it with dolphin seems to protect it from that spin down while you are getting everything set up | 02:44 |
RosettaTrad | I am sorry but I didn't really understand what you mean | 02:45 |
valorie | very much worthwhile to learn rsync | 02:45 |
valorie | when you plug it in to your computer, does something pop up? | 02:45 |
valorie | the Device Notifier should ask what you want to do with it | 02:45 |
valorie | and just select open with dolphin | 02:45 |
valorie | or open in file manager, or whatever it says | 02:46 |
RosettaTrad | ok, when I plugin my external HDD it shows in Dolphin | 02:47 |
RosettaTrad | then I open a split window and try to move my data from one disk to the other by dragging and dropping | 02:47 |
RosettaTrad | but it doesn't work | 02:47 |
valorie | right, and that will take forever | 02:48 |
valorie | if you have anything there | 02:48 |
valorie | also, are you really trying to MOVE it? | 02:48 |
valorie | or only copy it | 02:48 |
RosettaTrad | It doesn't even give me the popup menu | 02:49 |
RosettaTrad | also I just checked the permissions on my external HDD and it's all grey too | 02:49 |
valorie | ok, then it isn't properly mounted | 02:50 |
RosettaTrad | oh | 02:50 |
valorie | in a konsole, type: mount | 02:50 |
valorie | and you'll see what drives and devices are connected and mounted | 02:51 |
RosettaTrad | may I paste the output here ? | 02:51 |
valorie | !paste | 02:52 |
ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 02:52 |
RosettaTrad | http://paste.ubuntu.com/6397471/ | 02:53 |
valorie | so it isn't mounted | 02:55 |
Roey | thats.what.she.said | 02:55 |
RosettaTrad | ok, but in dolphin I can see the contents of the drive | 02:55 |
Roey | hello valorie, RosettaTrad and ubottu! | 02:55 |
valorie | if you unplug it, and after a moment plug it in again, does the device notifier pop up again? | 02:56 |
valorie | Roey: pffff | 02:56 |
RosettaTrad | yes it does | 02:56 |
valorie | cool, then tell it to open in dolphin again | 02:56 |
valorie | try 'mount' again, and see if it shows up now | 02:56 |
Roey | oh maybe you can help me with fetchmail and Yahoo Mail, Valorie | 02:58 |
valorie | pfff | 02:58 |
valorie | yahoo is the devil | 02:58 |
valorie | and I haven't set up 'real' mail for a long, long time | 02:59 |
valorie | I miss kmail though | 02:59 |
RosettaTrad | ok, I can open it in Dolphin, see it's contents but not write to it | 03:00 |
RosettaTrad | well actually the external HDD is empty | 03:00 |
valorie | that's fine | 03:00 |
valorie | oh, has it been formatted? | 03:00 |
RosettaTrad | yes | 03:00 |
valorie | ok | 03:00 |
RosettaTrad | I just reformatted it in gparted with ext4 formet | 03:01 |
valorie | great! | 03:02 |
valorie | here's the thing | 03:02 |
valorie | you are working off the liveCD, right? | 03:02 |
RosettaTrad | yes | 03:02 |
valorie | hmmm | 03:03 |
valorie | I haven't ever done this before | 03:03 |
valorie | because you have an unmounted HD on the computer you're working on | 03:03 |
valorie | so I think you'll have to mount that before you can copy anything from it | 03:04 |
RosettaTrad | I can read the contents of the computers internal HDD | 03:04 |
RosettaTrad | inside Dolphin | 03:04 |
valorie | ok, so dolphin mounted it | 03:04 |
RosettaTrad | I can open files from my home directory, I just can not move them | 03:04 |
valorie | why do you want to MOVE them | 03:05 |
valorie | rather than copy them? | 03:05 |
RosettaTrad | well I want to copy several folders from my home directory to my external HDD, and then fully format my internal HDD and do a clean install of kubuntu | 03:06 |
valorie | good plan | 03:06 |
valorie | http://www.linux.com/news/enterprise/storage/8200-back-up-like-an-expert-with-rsync is simple and understandable, even for me. "The basic syntax for rsync is simple enough -- just run rsync [options] source destination to copy the file or files provided as the source argument to the destination." | 03:07 |
RosettaTrad | ok, I will try that | 03:08 |
valorie | so basically what you want to do is 'rsync -av /home/user/Music /backup path/Music | 03:08 |
valorie | etc. | 03:08 |
valorie | put your own user and own path in | 03:08 |
valorie | type it here first | 03:08 |
valorie | and we'll check it | 03:08 |
RosettaTrad | ok, thanks a lot | 03:09 |
valorie | add --progress in there if you want to see what's going on as it works | 03:09 |
valorie | the nice thing about doing it folder by folder if you only have a few is that you miss all the cruft | 03:10 |
valorie | it's possible to tell rsync not to copy the cruft, but easier to just get what you want | 03:10 |
valorie | if you are nervous, use --dry-run and it will show you exactly what it is planning to do | 03:11 |
valorie | I love the gui, but there are certain tasks that are so much easier in the cli | 03:12 |
valorie | it makes sense to figure them out | 03:12 |
RosettaTrad | ok it works, in the beginning it said permission denied, so I ran it with sudo and it works | 03:13 |
monkeyjuice | could just run sudo dolphin in termanal and it should work also | 03:15 |
RosettaTrad | oh | 03:15 |
valorie | well, it will take much longer in dolphin | 03:16 |
monkeyjuice | ya but you can click and drag | 03:16 |
valorie | it's worthwhile to learn how to use rsync for big jobs | 03:16 |
valorie | it makes backup easy, so you'll do it | 03:16 |
monkeyjuice | true ;) | 03:16 |
valorie | when backup takes a day, you'll skip doing it | 03:16 |
valorie | RosettaTrad: congratulations | 03:17 |
valorie | you just run it the other way to suck the stuff from your backup onto your hd | 03:17 |
valorie | believe me, it's worthwhile to learn rsync | 03:18 |
RosettaTrad | thank you, I am using kubuntu since 2 years now and din't have any trouble, but after updating to 13.10 it started to get messy | 03:18 |
valorie | I've had a few bad upgrades over the years | 03:18 |
monkeyjuice | i never upgrade i install freash | 03:19 |
RosettaTrad | the problem is that I had many broken packages and apps that disappeared | 03:20 |
valorie | hmmm, I had no problems with the beta, or final | 03:20 |

ubuntoid | hi all. tell me pls, can i install php 5.5 (or at least 5.4) on my server with ubuntu 11.04 running? i added Ondrej's repositories and did the apt-get update/upgrade but php version is still 5.3 for some reason | 14:28 |
ubuntoid | also, aptitude shows nothing alternatives too | 14:29 |
Pici | ubuntoid: 11.04 is no longer supported, so there will not be any PPA packages available for that release. | 14:33 |
ubuntoid | Pici: thanks for the answer... and there are no way to cheat this system and tell the package manager or something that this is 12.04? | 14:34 |
Pici | ubuntoid: doing that will very likely break everything./ | 14:35 |
ubuntoid | so what can I do to install new php version? only compile from the sources? the problem is: vps hosting limits list of available operating systems, and unfortunately only 11.04 is available. | 14:36 |

bartje | hi guys, running kde 4.11.2 here, set to dutch, english, both UK and USA installed, but some apps show in german :-| a known issue? | 17:47 |
bartje | I'm talking about qjackctl, and clementine so far | 17:47 |
ezra-s | any ppa's for Ubuntu 12.04 to use latest kde or that is not recommended? Stability first | 17:49 |
bartje | esra-s: I'd say kubuntu-backports, but if you want stability, I'd stick to the default KDE of 12.04 | 17:50 |
bartje | sorry, ezra-s :-) | 17:51 |
ezra-s | bartje, no problem, just wondering, it's a work laptop but I have that itch for using the latest we all have, hehe :) | 17:54 |
bartje | don't we all :-p | 17:54 |
ezra-s | you bet :) | 17:54 |
ezra-s | I'm happy with kde 4.8.5 which ships with kubuntu 12.04 though | 17:55 |
bartje | I do have a very positive experience with the support.. I remember having a critical bug in Krita, shipped with the backport-ppa, which didn't have any icons anymore.. At first they said it would be fixed at the end of november, but the next day there already was an update, with a fix :-) | 17:57 |
bartje | but of course, you can expect that kind of bugs... | 17:57 |
ezra-s | that's nice :) | 18:00 |
bartje | and now some apps are in german, no clue why.. | 18:02 |
ct529 | hi everybody! what is the repository "update pre release"? | 18:02 |
ezra-s | maybe some locale was mispackaged | 18:02 |
bartje | probably, but how to fix it? My german is hardly perfect | 18:03 |
ezra-s | bartje, no clue reall, I'm merely a "user" | 18:04 |
