[00:00] but the sources are exsist in the ubuntu site unter http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [00:01] i just need to set it in the installetion. [00:01] gubers: 6.06 is EOL. [00:01] gubers: No chance to install it. [00:01] gubers: Did you try installing 12.04? [00:01] i tried 10.04 - to new for me. [00:02] "too new" [00:02] in what way ? [00:02] (10.04 is also EOL) [00:02] gubers: Why? Which exact error messages did you get? [00:02] ollllld computer. [00:02] stop saying that [00:02] answer the questions [00:02] "what was the problem with 10.04" [00:03] 10.04 server is good for 2 more months :D [00:03] it's stay and wait.... [00:04] I've just lost interest in pulling information [00:04] gubers: either offer a system specification or you are unlikely to get help [00:04] Me too. [00:04] i dont need security support it is a locale system. [00:04] been trying for the last hour to mount a hard drive in Ubuntu 14.04 live via USB drive booting, my paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10133617/ [00:05] does not mount with read/write access, only read-only [00:05] ubuntulivesorrow: "sudo mount -o remount,rw /dev/sda5" [00:06] you probably need to fsck it [00:06] i can't install it without the internet?? [00:08] daftykins, that worked with no errors, but what is the default mount path? [00:09] ubuntulivesorrow: you must have already mounted it, since it was complaining. the error you pastebin'd was saying *exactly* what was wrong. "df -h" to confirm what is where, or "mount" [00:10] yea, I have succeeded in mounting it many times, just with no r/w [00:11] ubuntulivesorrow: yep so you didn't need to tell it where to mount to anymore, just that you wanted that mount point "-o remount,rw" [00:11] editing my fstab gave me a "no space left on device" and my fstab is 0 bytes now :( [00:12] marsje: impressive, are you still booted in? [00:12] daftykins: no... [00:12] so your installation is lost to you, right now? [00:12] daftykins, brb, I messed up something now I cannot umount, restarting this liveCD session [00:13] marsje: boot a live session and you can recover it by checking free space, then writing a new fstab if it really is gone [00:13] daftykins: I guess it won't boot with a zeroed fstab, right? [00:14] daftykins: I put the drive in my desktop system now, so I can access the drive [00:15] marsje: hmm, ok - you can write a new fstab by using "sudo blkid" to view the UUIDs of each partition, then recreating them in a custom fstab if you can work out which is which [00:16] daftykins: uuids suck when you are in a console where you cannot use a mouse... [00:16] hahaha [00:17] true, although if you were to write out blkid into a text file, you could edit them in-place without too much trouble [00:17] daftykins: I made a screenshot (with my camera), so I have all the info [00:17] but I'm thinking about reinstalling the whole system as it was old [00:18] the only problem was that it was a carefully configured xbmc to work with my not so well supported ati video card [00:18] daftykins, I am back, so... I am in a freshly booted liveCD session, have not attempted any mount commands... what did you say is the best way to mount my /dev/sda5 ('/home' parition FYI) with write permission? [00:18] that only seemed to work well with an older ubuntu [00:19] ubuntulivesorrow: well lets start from the beginning, why are you doing this? [00:19] marsje: eww, old AMD card huh? also now it's Kodi :( [00:20] daftykins: yeah, so I'd like to install a afresh kodi, but I doubt my video card will work well === `hypermist` is now known as pcupgrades [00:20] marsje: which is it? [00:21] daftykins, I am about to install ubuntu to the HDD, I do not want to have the overwrite/format my home partition, I want to delete the .config folder and other folders with settings that will interfere with the new install, and I wanted to remove them with a LiveCD while the OS is not running [00:21] daftykins: I forgot... one that doesn't have support anymore in the latest radeon drivers [00:21] daftykins: and I doubt the new open source drivers will support it, but haven't checked [00:22] ubuntulivesorrow: rename of /home/username to /home/usernameold would make far more sense. so yeah, "sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sda5 /mnt" assuming it's sda5 [00:22] "working" meaning having hardware accelerated video [00:22] marsje: actually when it comes to XBMC/Kodi - radeon the open source driver is the best choice. anything 4xxx or older is unsupported by fglrx, yes [00:23] daftykins: maybe I should give it a try... tomorrow :) [00:23] do any of you know how I grep so I get only the second word of each line and to skip the rest of the words on each line? [00:23] too bad I'm still completely in the dark why my ubuntu insists my drive is full while it doesn't look at all full [00:25] lasagn4: nope, but if nobody gives a clue here, #bash might be helpful [00:25] Hello [00:25] daftykins, tried the line, results: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10133926/ [00:26] daftykins, still no r/w access : / [00:26] * marsje is going to get some sleep [00:26] new ubuntu user here. [00:26] ubuntulivesorrow: no you've got that all wrong. [00:27] ? [00:27] ubuntulivesorrow: "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install pastebinit" then "ls -al /mnt | pastebinit" [00:29] daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10133988/ [00:31] ubuntulivesorrow: yeah, see right now it doesn't recognise the user that was from that install, because it's a live session. from inside /mnt/user/, try "sudo mv .config .configold" [00:31] never delete, rename is far more safe [00:31] daftykins, ok cool, brb [00:31] Hi, Can someone help me find the solution to my problem? I got the big red dot in my gnome panel and I got this error message in synaptic and/or apt-get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10133475/ [00:32] Red dot with a minus sign in it [00:32] daftykins, nope, still receive a "permission denied" [00:32] daftykins, do I have to run a 'chown'? [00:34] ubuntulivesorrow: i wouldn't think so, but you could try. [00:36] daftykins, I cannot create directories either in that path: '/mnt/user' [00:37] daftykins, is there an argument for the mount command to r/w the device I am mounting? [00:37] ubuntulivesorrow: mount -o remount,rw [00:37] ubuntulivesorrow: you don't even KNOW that it's read only right now. "mount | pastebinit" before running anything further [00:38] does dropping all ports that aren't in use in iptables offer any protection? [00:39] daftykins, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10134144/ [00:40] ubuntulivesorrow: yeah see, it's already rw [00:40] daftykins, son of a gun... [00:40] daftykins, well now I am growing gray hair over the fact I cannot actually 'write' or remove a few files [00:41] ubuntulivesorrow: it looks like a permissions problem? i've not read what you were writing before though.. [00:41] hi, i want to set such a wifi connection on my computer, that i can connect to it and transfer some files to it trought FTP. I have nothing to do with internet. What should i search in google? AP Hotspot? [00:41] EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10133988/ [00:42] (I wanna connect to my pc by mobile and sent files to it) [00:42] ubuntulivesorrow: sudo chown -R root: /mnt/ [00:42] ubuntulivesorrow: that's ls -l /mnt ? [00:43] EriC^^, yes [00:43] ubuntulivesorrow: what are you doing to get the permissions error? [00:43] daftykins, going to try and run that command [00:43] i suggested ubuntulivesorrow run "sudo mv" on some file or folder, i forget which [00:43] EriC^^: ^ [00:43] be right back [00:43] EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10133926/ I ran 'rm -rf ' [00:43] daftykins: ok [00:44] daftykins, ok [00:44] ubuntulivesorrow: type sudo rm -rf [00:45] Hi, Can someone help me find the solution to my problem? I got the big red dot with a big white minus sign in it in my gnome panel and I got this error message in synaptic and/or apt-get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10133475/ [00:46] EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10134214/ to my surprise, that did not work either [00:46] incognito2: whilst i'm gone, have a look if that file exists. [00:47] incognito2: open a terminal and run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade". the error sign just says it had a problem with the updates from the ubuntu servers [00:47] Thanks guys [00:47] ubuntulivesorrow: type chmod u+x /mnt/user/.xsel.log [00:48] nevermind [00:48] ubuntulivesorrow: wait, you didn't do sudo rm -rf [00:49] EriC^^, http://paste.ubuntu.com/10134245/ [00:49] kll I don't think I can upgrade because it's 12.04. I will try sudo apt-get update, but I don't know if I can run dist-upgrade [00:50] ubuntulivesorrow: type sudo rm -rf /mnt/user/.xsel.log [00:50] ubuntulivesorrow: add sudo to the start of the command [00:50] incognito2: the 2nd command will not upgrade the ubuntu release. its need to ship all package updates for 12.04 like new kernels etc. [00:50] !distupgrade [00:50] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [00:51] ubuntulivesorrow: actually just type sudo rm /mnt/user/.xsel.log [00:51] EriC^^, finally!! after like two hours, I can now delete, thank you and daftykins thank you also [00:51] the sudo worked [00:51] ubuntulivesorrow: is that your home directory? [00:51] so after I reinstall, chown those files back? [00:51] yes [00:52] EriC^^, yes, that is my /home I mounted [00:52] hello. i am new here i have a question [00:53] /join #nomads [00:54] ubuntulivesorrow: my pleasure! [00:54] EriC^^: ^5 go team :D [00:54] daftykins: ^5 :D [00:55] kll thanks, okay. Yeah I did google the problem and found that solution before I came to the chat room, but I was afraid to run it, so now I am confident to run it at your recommendation [00:56]
