| pvt_petey | hello | 12:01 |
| pvt_petey | I'm tying to install lubuntu on a mac without functioning usb/disc drive | 12:02 |
| pvt_petey | i thought to maybe use virtual box as a lifeboat | 12:02 |
| pvt_petey | is this the best way ? | 12:02 |
| dj_beirut | i am using a windows machine and i want to ssh to my lubuntu machine with x dispaly. how can i do that? i am new to linux :/ | 18:55 |
| holstein | !puty | 18:55 |
| holstein | !putty | 18:55 |
| ubottu | PuTTY is an !SSH client for Windows. Please see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage and downloads. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) | 18:55 |
| dj_beirut | i am using putty | 18:55 |
| holstein | dj_beirut: ^ thats what i use to ssh from windows to ssh servers.. | 18:55 |
| dj_beirut | i can ssh to it. but i want to see the screen on my windows machine. using the lubuntu as almost a headless server | 18:56 |
| holstein | you can forward x over ssh.. or use many screen sharing options.. vnc, etc.. if you are "new", try teamviewer | 18:56 |
| mikubuntu | can anyone tell me why i would download the .iso image which says its 683 mb, but when i try to burn to a 700 mb disk it says the image is 716 mb, and so produces errors in burn? | 19:19 |
| wxl | mikubuntu: download error? did you check the md5? | 19:24 |
| mikubuntu | wxl -- i been fighting with it so long i want to try something else --- can i install unetbootin to a live cd session and install from net? | 19:25 |
| wxl | mikubuntu: i guess you could, but if it's a simple download error (which the md5 will tell you in a heartbeat), you can just install zsync and you won't even have to download the whole thing again | 19:26 |
| mikubuntu | wxl: could you help me with that? | 19:27 |
| wxl | !md5 | mikubuntu | 19:27 |
| ubottu | mikubuntu: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 19:27 |
| wxl | !zsync | mikubuntu | 19:27 |
| ubottu | mikubuntu: Use zsync to update your Ubuntu CD image without needing to download the parts that didn't change. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ZsyncCdImage | 19:27 |
| mikubuntu | i'll check it out -- i don't think the image is bad because i used the same one to load this machine im chatting on | 19:28 |
| wxl | mikubuntu: might have been the burn. you can check that like above to find out how to md5sum the cd or usb. | 19:29 |
| mikubuntu | the zsync page that someone directed me to is not clear to me -- am i to understand that if i terminal: zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/trusty-desktop-i386.iso.zsync that it will correct any anomolies in 14.04 ?? | 20:30 |
| mikubuntu | my 4th install attempt on the other machine seems to be stuck at 'configuring apt' in the install part of the program | 20:32 |
| phillw | mikubuntu: at the end of the zsync, it will report back if there is a mis match in checksum. | 20:35 |
| phillw | once you have a good image, burn it at the slowest speed possible. Then when you 1st boot with it, run the self test to check it has burned correctly. | 20:36 |
| mikubuntu | phillw: output: failed on url http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/trusty-desktop-i386.iso.zsync could not read control file from URL | 20:37 |
| phillw | mikubuntu: did you install zsync on your machine?> | 20:38 |
| mikubuntu | yes, according to instruction on the zsych page | 20:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | You may need to -o your file and use the standard Ubuntu image at releases.u.c | 20:39 |
| phillw | if you did, then go to the directory that has the iso file and check that you 'own' it. | 20:39 |
| phillw | and issue the command | 20:40 |
| phillw | zsync http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/daily-live/20140705/trusty-desktop-i386.iso.zsync | 20:40 |
| mikubuntu | my problem is that even tho the file says its 683 mb, when i go to burn to a cd it says its 716 mb and apparently can only burn 95% of the image ... i tried loading with the dvd that i used on this machine and it fails multiple times (right now stuck for 30 mins at 'configuring apt' ... the bios will not let me boot from usb either | 20:41 |
| phillw | mikubuntu: try grabbing the alpha1 (I'll just get the link) | 20:43 |
| phillw | mikubuntu: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/14.10/alpha-1/ | 20:44 |
| phillw | if you are still getting over-size errors, grab the alternate , it is some 100 Mb smaller | 20:45 |
| mikubuntu | hmmmm ... is a cd-r re-recordable? | 20:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Nope... | 20:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | CD-RW is though | 20:47 |
| mikubuntu | great -- guess i have to go out and find somewhere to lift a new cd then .... arrrrrrgh ... maybe kelly has one | 20:49 |
| phillw | I have a dvd-rw that I use, it forces my burner to burn really slow and can handle over-sized images. mine was 1 GBP from a discount store. | 20:52 |
| wxl | mikubuntu: you don't have a usb? | 20:54 |
| SonikkuAmerica | phillw: A quid? | 20:56 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Oh my | 20:56 |
| phillw | SonikkuAmerica: yup. | 20:56 |
| phillw | poundland :) | 20:57 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Jeremy Clarkson got a car for use in one iaode of Top Gear for £1 | 20:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | s/iaode/episode/ | 20:58 |
| phillw | mikubuntu: also, if the site for ISO's is busy, head over to my mirror at http://phillw.net/isos/lubuntu/trusty/release/ in your case the command would be | 20:59 |
| phillw | zsync http://phillw.net/isos/lubuntu/trusty/release/lubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso.zsync | 20:59 |
| wxl | SonikkuAmerica: good form. phillw usually forgets the ending slash. :) | 21:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | So do I | 21:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | (Normally) | 21:02 |
| mikubuntu | phillw: sry mssd ur messages was on the phone begging a blank cd it should be here in 10 mins and i'll try the alt installer, its 5pm here and i started messing with this at 9am .... arghh | 21:03 |
| wxl | tsk tsk tsk | 21:03 |
| mikubuntu | wxl: yes i have a usb, but the box won't let me assign it for boot | 21:04 |
| phillw | mikubuntu: in that case... | 21:05 |
| phillw | cp lubuntu-14.04-desktop-i386.iso lubuntu-14.04-alternat-i386.iso | 21:05 |
| phillw | followed by | 21:05 |
| phillw | zsync http://phillw.net/isos/lubuntu/trusty/release/lubuntu-14.04-alternate-i386.iso.zsync | 21:05 |
| phillw | it will save having to download the entire iso again. | 21:06 |
| mikubuntu | but the target machine won't let me do anything in live mode either, so i think i have to dl the alt anyways its only 8 mins | 21:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | "alternat" should have an e at the end. Case and spelling are important. | 21:07 |
| mikubuntu | prolly less for the alt is only about 600 mb looks like | 21:08 |
| phillw | mikubuntu: okies... use my mirror, it is often faster than the main server :) | 21:08 |
| mikubuntu | already bookmarked your site, but the alt dl is done, just waiting for the blank cd to arrive | 21:09 |
| phillw | SonikkuAmerica: he he... yeah, I must put my new keyboard into piglet (existing one has no 'E' key. | 21:11 |
| SonikkuAmerica | I once had a word processor where S wouldn't work for a while... Poor Jeica... | 21:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | And amuel too | 21:12 |
| phillw | I've got fairly used to it, but sometimes it does not work :) | 21:13 |
| === LarrySteeze|Away is now known as LarrySteeze | ||
| mikubuntu | i don't get it --- never had this much trouble doing an install -- i think for the first time ever in my experience, xfburn got to about 59% and then returned a 'burn fail' notice | 21:53 |
| mikubuntu | phillw: looking for the alternate installer 14.04 on your site but can't find it | 21:58 |
| phillw | mikubuntu: zsync http://phillw.net/isos/lubuntu/trusty/release/lubuntu-14.04-alternate-i386.iso.zsync | 21:58 |
| mikubuntu | phillw: why does it have .zsync at the end of the file name? | 21:59 |
| phillw | mikubuntu: that is because it to be used by zsync | 21:59 |
| mikubuntu | phillw: that won't affect xfburn recognising it as an iso? | 22:00 |
| phillw | no, it will download th iso, let me just reset the permissions on the file | 22:01 |
| phillw | mikubuntu: permissions reset. | 22:03 |
| mikubuntu | is there anything that might typically cause a hang up during install, like now seems to be hung up in 'select and install' at 'configuring man-db' ?? | 23:10 |
| phillw | mikubuntu: does the cd self test okay? | 23:11 |
| mikubuntu | and i did the self test on this disc before running said it was ok | 23:11 |
| mikubuntu | oh, wait, it started moving again, at 65% ... | 23:12 |
| mikubuntu | 66% | 23:12 |
| phillw | mikubuntu: is it an older computer? | 23:12 |
| mikubuntu | not really, its a box that my friend built | 23:13 |
| mikubuntu | but he isn't familiar with most software issues (and i couldn't build a box) | 23:13 |
| phillw | okies, they can seem to hang, dpkg (right near the end) can take 90 minutes | 23:13 |
| mikubuntu | 72% ... please god, let this finish, everyone else is downstairs eating dinner and i'm still messing with this damn box ... lol | 23:14 |
| phillw | as long as the cd said it was a happy bunny, my advice is patience. (Also, when using the alternate ISO - disconnect from internet, so the machine is forced to use the cd and not go and try and get everything from the internet). | 23:15 |
| phillw | I always drop internet and then update once machine is running... alternate installer is a funny beast at times, but I swear by it :) | 23:16 |
| phillw | mikubuntu: go have dinner.... it should have finished by the time you have eaten! | 23:17 |
| mikubuntu | i don't understand why they let the regular installer go over 700 mb, when 700 is the standard cd size | 23:17 |
| phillw | mikubuntu: lubuntu has a constant battle with keeping CD size. I'm not sure why you are seeing over size, only the desktop ppc image is oversized. | 23:18 |
