| delt | what's a good skype client for linux? | 02:38 |
| Unit193 | Skype. | 02:39 |
| delt | hehe (: | 02:39 |
| Unit193 | The only Skype client is Skype.... | 02:39 |
| delt | but i can't install it... it says my internet connection is down, but clearly not the case :/ | 02:39 |
| Unit193 | !info skype-bin partner | 02:39 |
| ubottu | skype-bin (source: skype): client for Skype VOIP and instant messaging service - binary files. In component main, is extra. Version 4.3.0.37-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 (partner), package size 19643 kB, installed size 43366 kB (Only available for i386; amd64) | 02:40 |
| delt | component main...? | 02:40 |
| studio_ | anyone know from experience the life expectancy of a hard drive? | 02:40 |
| Unit193 | You'll have to add the partner repo if you don't have it already, delt. | 02:40 |
| Unit193 | studio_: Really depends, keep backups though. You can generally get advanced warning with SMART tools, but not a money back thing. | 02:41 |
| delt | Unit193: ah, i see ....any other good stuff on that repo? | 02:41 |
| studio_ | ok. thanks | 02:41 |
| Unit193 | delt: Heh, not really. :P | 02:41 |
| Unit193 | !partner | 02:42 |
| ubottu | Canonical's partner repositories provide a location for software vendors to publish applications. The repo itself can be added by running this in a !terminal: « sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ $(lsb_release -sc) partner" » | 02:42 |
| Unit193 | studio_: Sure. | 02:42 |
| delt | i'm running 64bit.. how come it says all new packages installed will be :i386? | 02:45 |
| delt | (from running apt-get install skype) | 02:45 |
| Unit193 | Skype is only built for 32bit, but lucky for you there's multiarch. | 02:45 |
| delt | :) thanks for the info | 02:46 |
| lexito | hello. I made a live version of the ubuntu studio but it fails to run. After i choose to run in live mode, it loads the splash screen and then everything ggoes black | 17:27 |
| lexito | any help ?please | 17:27 |
| holstein | lexito: i would try a few things.. | 17:28 |
| holstein | !nomodeset | 17:28 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 17:28 |
| holstein | !md5 | 17:28 |
| ubottu | 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 | 17:28 |
| lexito | holstein: By nomodset do you mean i should clickk that button? Well i did. And even i clicked the acpi thingy....i don't under stand any of those.nothing worked | 17:30 |
| holstein | lexito: i try all the options.. the only thing to understand is that they can help.. | 17:31 |
| holstein | lexito: confirm your iso download and your live media as well | 17:31 |
| lexito | holstein: okay I am checking the link | 17:31 |
| lexito | holstein: the version in the link is for version 11.10 but mine is 14.04 | 17:35 |
| holstein | lexito: sure.. | 17:35 |
| holstein | lexito: you can check your iso the same way | 17:35 |
| holstein | you can use https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck | 17:36 |
| lexito | holstein: so the numbers differ | 17:37 |
| holstein | lexito: sure.. | 17:37 |
| holstein | lexito: you use the location of the iso you downloaded for the sum | 17:38 |
| holstein | http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/14.04/release/ for example | 17:38 |
| holstein | or just use the integrity checker i linked above | 17:38 |
| holstein | lexito: this is *not* a fix for anything.. so dont waste too much time on it | 17:38 |
| lexito | holstein: 6842dfc487beb8cbd4787577ad7b7178 | 17:39 |
| holstein | lexito: i say, just download main ubuntu, and try that, and if you get the same issue, you can go to the more populous #ubuntu and get assistance for your specific hardware | 17:39 |
| holstein | lexito: i dont konw if that is the sum for the iso you downloaded.. | 17:39 |
| lexito | holstein: that is the number that came up | 17:40 |
| lexito | holstein: but i don't want the main ubuntu. I want the ubuntu studio | 17:40 |
| holstein | lexito: i dont see that sum here http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntustudio/releases/14.04/release/MD5SUMS | 17:41 |
| holstein | lexito: i understand that, friend.. but, ubuntustuduio *is* ubuntu | 17:41 |
| holstein | lexito: anything that can help your specific hardware case run ubuntu will be relevant in running ubuntustuduio | 17:41 |
| holstein | lexito: but, it seems you are not getting the proper sum | 17:41 |
| lexito | holstein: you don't understand. I used about a month to download ubuntu studio .I have very slow internet | 17:42 |
| holstein | lexito: then, i would gurantee that is the issue, then | 17:42 |
| holstein | lexito: if you have spotty internet, its seems that is the issue | 17:42 |
| holstein | not sure how i would proceed.. i might start with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 17:44 |
| holstein | those iso's are small.. then, i could get my installation done and know the hardware is working and go from there | 17:44 |
| lexito | holstein: but could it go up to the point of allowing me to select the type of boot? It even showed me the animated splash screen. Is all this possible | 17:44 |
| holstein | lexito: yes.. thats why i had you check the sum, and you are reporting the sum is not "correct".. | 17:45 |
| holstein | lexito: wont hurt to run that integrity check | 17:45 |
| lexito | holstein: i will run the integrity check then and get back here | 17:47 |
| lexito | holstein: but i think i will have to download with a faster connection again | 17:59 |
| holstein | lexito: or, you can search about how to fix them.. | 18:00 |
| holstein | lexito: you can try main #ubuntu | 18:00 |
| lexito | holstein: SINCE i can't see the sum there i think the integrity is wrong | 18:01 |
| holstein | lexito: i agree | 18:01 |
| holstein | http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2009/10/29/use-zsync-to-update-existing-iso-images/ may suggest using zsync to "repair" | 18:02 |
| holstein | i have not done this myself, and cannot say | 18:02 |
| holstein | you may be able to do with automatically with a torrent setup | 18:03 |
| lexito | holstein: what do you mean by the torrent setup? | 18:05 |
| lexito | where can i get that | 18:05 |
| holstein | lexito: i dont know what operating system you are using.. | 18:05 |
| holstein | .torrent | 18:06 |
| holstein | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads for example | 18:06 |
| holstein | lexito: im saying, setting up a torrent download, and putting your current iso in place *may* just sync the difference for you automatically.. im not sure | 18:06 |
| holstein | lexito: im just trying to postulate the path of least resistance for you.. | 18:07 |
| lexito | holstein: i am on mint 17 | 18:11 |
| holstein | lexito: then, the references to the torrent applications will be relevant | 18:11 |
| lexito | holstein: I am using transmission | 18:11 |
| holstein | lexito: also, the ubuntustudio applications are in the default ubuntu repos. thus, you can just install them in to mint17.. | 18:12 |
| holstein | lexito: yes.. transmission is what i was implying.. that *maybe* transmission would repair the iso for you | 18:12 |
| lexito | holstein: Is that possible? I thought it would mess up my system. I tried with simple unity and my whole system was messed up | 18:12 |
| holstein | lexito: if you just install the applications you want.. | 18:13 |
| lexito | holstein: so you mean I should download with transmission | 18:13 |
| holstein | lexito: i wouldnt install the ubuntu-studio-desktop | 18:13 |
| holstein | i would just install what i want.. jack, ardour.. qtractor.. whatever | 18:13 |
| lexito | holstein: Yh I did that. But I felt there should be a different feel with the real thing :) | 18:14 |
| holstein | lexito: i mean, *maybe* if you load up the torrent file in transmission, and put the iso you have in place at the download location, then *maybe* transmission will zsync the changes and "Fix" the iso | 18:14 |
| holstein | lexito: there *is* a different feel.. but, its the *same* applications.. and, if i were on limited bandwidth, this would be on the table.. | 18:15 |
| lexito | holstein: I am still not getting the torrent idea. but I think you mean i need not download a new iso file right? | 18:16 |
| holstein | lexito: thats what im implying that you should try.. i linked zsync as a potential way to fix the iso, that i have not personally tried. you can ask about fixing the iso first hand in #ubuntu as i suggested | 18:16 |
| holstein | i then suggested that *maybe* transmission would just magically do that for you.. | 18:17 |
| holstein | thus, *not* needing to download a new iso | 18:17 |
| lexito | holstein: oh ok. But how can i do that with transmission. Sorry for the nooby questions | 18:17 |
| holstein | *and*, adding just what you are interested in using into mint17, thus also, *not* needing to download a new iso | 18:17 |
| holstein | lexito: i would literally get the torrent file for the iso i have.. load up transmission.. and put the iso i have in the download location | 18:17 |
| holstein | then, i would start the torrent, and see if transmission check the sum and tries to "fix" it.. | 18:18 |
| lexito | holstein: oh i get it now. Same location right? | 18:18 |
| holstein | if not, i would read about ways to fix the iso i have downloaded.. if i found no help online, would ask in #ubuntu | 18:18 |
| holstein | lexito: i would expect, transmission will try and download.. it will look at the location and see the iso.. and, am postulating, it would run a sum, and check the difference. and hopefully try and repait if | 18:19 |
| holstein | repair* | 18:19 |
| holstein | the location would have to be the same,yes, for any of that to potentially work | 18:19 |
| holstein | i personally *have* put iso's in that i have previously downloaded in order to seed them.. but i have not needed to try and repair an iso personally | 18:20 |
| lexito | holstein: ok. Thanks I will read more about it. | 18:20 |
| studio-user188 | hey ! | 18:55 |
| nightheron | I can't sudo apt-get update my ubuntu studio :( | 20:55 |
| holstein | nightheron: you can.. try it, and paste any errors.. | 20:56 |
| holstein | !paste | 20:56 |
| ubottu | For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imgur.com/ !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 20:56 |
| holstein | "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 20:56 |
| nightheron | ok, let me try again... | 20:56 |
| nightheron | A typical 404 not found... | 20:57 |
| holstein | nightheron: please open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update" and paste the entire output here.. | 20:58 |
| holstein | !paste | 20:58 |
| holstein | http://paste.ubuntu.com | 20:58 |
| nightheron | Err...it stuck | 20:58 |
| holstein | nightheron: control c will "break" that.. | 20:59 |
| nightheron | By the way, I set default language as spanish, will it bring any trouble? | 20:59 |
| holstein | nightheron: no | 20:59 |
| holstein | nightheron: please open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update" and share the entire output here.. http://paste.ubuntu.com | 21:00 |
| nightheron | http://paste.ubuntu.com/8606441/ | 21:00 |
| nightheron | Like this? | 21:00 |
| holstein | nightheron: looks like you have messed up your sources | 21:02 |
| holstein | i would use http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ to repair that.. | 21:02 |
| nightheron | Hmm...I can't remenber how many software I tried... | 21:02 |
| holstein | nightheron: you broke your sources | 21:03 |
| holstein | nightheron: when you run "sudo apt-get update" you have sources in place that are broken | 21:04 |
| holstein | nightheron: i dont konw why or how they are broken, but they are | 21:04 |
| nightheron | Yeah, I asked for it, thx for the link, I may try. | 21:04 |
| holstein | nightheron: you get 404's becuase they are broken | 21:04 |
| holstein | nightheron: ubuntustuduio *is* ubuntu. so you can as about how to repair that in #ubuntu if you like | 21:04 |
| nightheron | Even if it's XFCE environment? | 21:05 |
| holstein | nightheron: friend.. xfce is just that | 21:05 |
| holstein | nightheron: ubuntu is the base.. they are *all* ubuntu.. same repos | 21:05 |
| holstein | nightheron: you have broken repo sources.. | 21:05 |
| nightheron | I feel so noob and helpless here. :p | 21:06 |
| holstein | nightheron: you will replace them with the stock ubuntu ones | 21:06 |
| holstein | nightheron: you should come here *before* doing whatever it was you did to break your sources | 21:06 |
| holstein | nightheron: prettu much, anytime you run a sudo command, you can be breaking things. feel free and ask *before* doing that.. it'll make it much easier to help | 21:06 |
| nightheron | And what does GPG keys do? | 21:10 |
| holstein | nightheron: the sources are *very* important | 21:10 |
| holstein | nightheron: when you install ubuntu, you run "sudo apt-get update" the repo sources are accessed.. the keys insure that things are "signed" and are what they say they are | 21:11 |
| holstein | its a security attempt | 21:11 |
| nightheron | Ok...it said "Replace your /etc/apt/sources.list with the following one" | 21:16 |
| holstein | nightheron: right.. thats what i said, as well | 21:17 |
| nightheron | And I am suck at doing it in terminal | 21:17 |
| holstein | nightheron: you broke your sources.. fix them with that ^ | 21:17 |
| holstein | nightheron: then, dont use the terminal | 21:17 |
| nightheron | I mean, it don't authorize me editing the source.list | 21:19 |
| holstein | nightheron: sure.. you need root permission | 21:20 |
| holstein | nightheron: gksudo gedit /path/to/file | 21:20 |
| holstein | nightheron: or, you can use a live CD to "fix" them | 21:20 |
| nightheron | Ok, will try... | 21:20 |
| nightheron | Iput the liveCD, opened "sotware & update"... | 21:23 |
| holstein | nightheron: why? | 21:24 |
| nightheron | Where to reset my source list with my liveCD? | 21:24 |
| holstein | nightheron: what you need to open is the file you broke, and fix it with the information the link i gave you exported | 21:24 |
| nightheron | Or is that I should reboot with it? | 21:24 |
| holstein | nightheron: using the live CD is just a way to deal with the permissions issue you are having | 21:25 |
| nightheron | Ah...I am a dumb ass... | 21:25 |
| holstein | anyways.. i gotta run. you can use #ubuntu or #xubuntu may also be able to assist | 21:26 |
| holstein | cheers and good luck | 21:26 |
| zequence | gksudo might not work anymore | 21:28 |
| zequence | sudo should do it though | 21:28 |
| nightheron | I can update now, finally! thx you all! :D | 21:40 |
