<mnoir> correct <Iceman> ok <mnoir> if you cannot see pretty pix, you ain't in x <Iceman> if i tried to start x, it would be a solid black screen <Iceman> so how must i get this working in terminal? <mnoir> the reason to match graphical sudo to graphical programs is that the environment will be set up correctly <mnoir> ok - i dunno about your real problem <Iceman> ok <mnoir> but if you are editing things according to a howto, use nano or vi until you have x working <mnoir> it should instruct you that way :) <mnoir> you want to try one? <Iceman> so what would nano replace? <mnoir> nano is an editor <mnoir> so 'nano <filename> if you do not need privs <Iceman> much like gedit is an editor, correct? <mnoir> correct <Iceman> k....let me try it <mnoir> but nano is cli and gedit is visual <mnoir> in recovery you probably do not need sudo <mnoir> as recovery is a special privileged mode <Iceman> alright, it finally brought me to the file i need to edit <mnoir> ok - so now you can persue your fix :) <Iceman> if its special privilage, why is there no password block, since ur basically root inside it? <mnoir> yes <mnoir> technically, you are in what is called single user mode <mnoir> which is a special mode that cannot be used for normal running <mnoir> no security <mnoir> no x <Iceman> its like the white loading room in the matrix, where ne thing can be done, correct? <mnoir> i guess <mnoir> but you need to be careful not to screw stuff up <mnoir> it is very easy to do so <mnoir> if you are not careful <Iceman> so ive heard <mnoir> be sure to understand what folks tell you to do <mnoir> don't edit files until you have made a backup of them <mnoir> don't do stuff that folks say unless you understand the possible consequences <mnoir> even me <Iceman> well ive backed up my xorg.conf file before i started this, was there ne thing else i should have backed up? <mnoir> if that is what yoe are editing, you're fine <mnoir> editors cannot affect more than 1 file at a time unless you are being real fancy <Iceman> i dont understand all this, so fancy is a no go <mnoir> stay away from editing files where there is a * in the name you specify and you will be very safe <mnoir> * is a wildcard <mnoir> so editrrr a* would mean editrrr ab acccc ad etc etc etc <mnoir> editrrr is a fake name <mnoir> so i am not giving you and actual dangerous command <mnoir> and=an <Iceman> yeah, i at least understand the * command <mnoir> good <Iceman> seems to be universal in ne computer related commands/names <mnoir> yes - * is almost always the general wildcard <Iceman> been working on windows computers for so long, this linux stuff is really starting to cook my biscuits, but i love a challenge <mnoir> so now you have a little of the basics and maybe you can get more help on your problem from the circus <mnoir> linux is a little more heavyweight. more capabilities <mnoir> but a little more like a motorcycle - the technology shows :) <Iceman> yeah <Iceman> ty very much for ur help <mnoir> np :) <Iceman> one more question <mnoir> k <Iceman> how do i save a file i just edited/created <mnoir> in nano it should tell you at the bottom <mnoir> sec <mnoir> if you do ctl-x it will ask you to save <mnoir> btw i did nano aaaa to look myself :) <Iceman> hehe <Iceman> w00t, my first 9 lines of code ever written <mnoir> i dislike nano - i have been using vi for many years <mnoir> but this is a matter of opinion :) <mnoir> so - back to the playpen? <mnoir> :) <Iceman> ill use what ever i can get <mnoir> expert now .... <mnoir> problem with unix - you can get anything <Iceman> aye aye <mnoir> l8r <Iceman> ty <mnoir> :) <jojoman02> hello <mnoir> hi <jojoman02> how, i can learn stuff here? <mnoir> sometimes they do classes <mnoir> i use it when i need quiet <mnoir> and want othere to be able to watch us <mnoir> others i mean <jojoman02> kk <mnoir> are the lines always the same? <jojoman02> yeah <mnoir> but you do not want to just store tham and cp them into place each time? <jojoman02> yes <jojoman02> the scirpt is only an installer script <jojoman02> so it will be only run once per system <jojoman02> i don't feel like having another blblbl.txt file, i would prefer it be just one file, u know <mnoir> oh - I see <mnoir> ok - you need to learn the form that kitche was explaining <mnoir> it is called 'herefile' form <jojoman02> allright <jojoman02> ok <mnoir> and relies on telling the cat statement what delimiter to use to end reading some inline text <mnoir> i am a little rusty - lets race - i am going to google 'herefile ' and be back in a minnit <jojoman02> kk <mnoir> there are zillions of links - i am looking for a good one :) <jojoman02> mnoir, where do i install progs in linux like the programs files folder? <jojoman02> /opt ? <mnoir> there is a standard place <mnoir> look at http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ <jojoman02> mnoir, thanks <jojoman02> mnoir, man i tried programming, learned some python, made a fairly ok nice gui emcoder for mencoder <jojoman02> mnoir, i gave up cuz the resources that are available for gtk are not great, and python gtk at the time didn't have features i needed (tray management) <mnoir> http://moongroup.com/pipermail/shell.scripting/2002-March/007548.html <mnoir> is a simple here-doc example <jojoman02> mnoir, thankz <mnoir> it is here-doc, not herefile <mnoir> l8r :) #ubuntu-classroom 2007-02-03 * mode/#ubuntu-classroom [+o tonyyarusso] by ChanServ * mode/#ubuntu-classroom [+b *!*@88.232.*] by tonyyarusso * mode/#ubuntu-classroom [-o tonyyarusso] by ChanServ <n2diy> I got kppp working on my test box, but it is failing on sig 1, which, IIRC is because it is expecting my ISP to authenticate.

Pastebin the entire file <Catachan__> oh! mv == move <jrib> go ahead and rename it back: mv ~/.bashrc.backup ~/.bashrc <jrib> right <Catachan__> oh, uhm, pastebin? <jrib> !pastebin <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) <Catachan__> any prefrence to the syntax? <jrib> just use text <Catachan__> by the way, in about ten minutes, I have to sign off for about five minutes, so I can change locations, I should be back quickly though <Catachan__> okay <jrib> k <Catachan__> pasted! <Catachan__> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4812/ <jrib> that looks fine, what does "source ~/.bashrc" say now? <Catachan__> uhm one moment <Catachan__> okay, so I just tried to rename ~/.bashrc.backup and it said that it did not exist <Catachan__> one second <Catachan__> okay, got it <jrib> Catachan__: ok, no errors? <Catachan__> no errors <jrib> Catachan__: now change line 75 to: <jrib> PATH="/usr/hla:${PATH}" <Catachan__> now source it? <jrib> yep <Catachan__> I assume <Catachan__> kk <Catachan__> no errors <jrib> then: echo $PATH you should see hla in your path <Catachan__> yep, it seems to be the first one in the list <jrib> k, do you need to do anything else? <Catachan__> I am begining to wonder if my download of the file also screwed up, actually <Catachan__> because it should give me a few lines of help related to the program when I type in hla -? <Catachan__> does command line unpackaging differ significantly from useing the GUI? <jrib> how did you unpack it? <Catachan__> I used the GUI extract in the Package manager <Catachan__> and extracted it to the usr directory <jrib> /usr? <Catachan__> right <jrib> you don't want to do that <jrib> you want to install custom stuff to /usr/local <jrib> Catachan__: why are you installing HLA by the way? <Catachan__> okay <Catachan__> I am trying to learn Assembly with the insane intent to become fluent <Catachan__> in it <jrib> there should be some assemblers in the repositories <Catachan__> ubuntu repositories? <Catachan__> okay <jrib> yeah <Catachan__> I must disconnect for a short period <Catachan__> thank you <jrib> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=342399 <jrib> nasm I've heard of before <Catachan__> as have I <jrib> that one is a lot easier to install: sudo apt-get install nasm <Catachan__> the thing is that the best tutorial I have found is for HLA <jrib> oh I see <Catachan__> but I shall look into nasm <Catachan__> thank you <Catachan> jrib, still around? <jrib> Catachan: yep <Catachan> when I extracted that file (hla) to the /usr/ folder, should I name it /.hla? <Catachan> perhaps? <Catachan> or does it matter when using the terminal to start a program? <jrib> one sec, link me to this file please <Catachan> okay, which file exactly do you want? <Catachan> a link to? <jrib> the one you are extracting <Catachan> the download link? <jrib> sure, or the page <Catachan> okay <Catachan> here is the page http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AsmTools/HLA/dnld.html <Catachan> the actual link is near the bottom <Catachan> the dl link: http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AsmTools/HLA/HLAv1.86/hla.tar.gz <jrib> I would just drop this in /opt, it doesn't look like it's properly structured for /usr/local <Catachan> okay <Catachan> oh, jeeze <Catachan> I am a fool <Catachan> /usr/ is not the same as /catachan <jrib> heh <Catachan> you know I just realized that <Catachan> I feel dumb now <Catachan> lol <jrib> well you figured it out :) <Catachan> but I had noticed it before, and just forgot it this time <Catachan> so I feel stupid <Catachan> okay, so mv == move right? can I use it with a sudo and moving directories as well? <jrib> yes <Catachan> okay <Catachan> well, I got it moved <jrib> Catachan: k where is it now? <Catachan> in /usr <jrib> so /usr/hla/hla should work <jrib> as a command <Catachan> it recognizes it as a binary now <Catachan> but it says that it cannot execute the file <jrib> /usr/hla/hla -? <jrib> doesn't work? <Catachan> I get this: bash: /usr/hla/hla: cannot execute binary file <jrib> me too <Catachan> hmm <Catachan> Okay, hmm <Catachan> I guess I should email the author <Catachan> of the program <Catachan> thank you very much <Catachan> by the way <jrib> np, gl <Catachan> thanks <Catachan> jrib, might it be worth it to compile it from the source? <Catachan> perhaps? <jrib> Catachan: wouldn't hurt to try <Catachan> okay <Catachan> I will look into taht <Catachan> *that rather <Catachan> hmm <jrib> Catachan: seems to work after compiling, or at least -? works <Catachan> really? cool <Catachan> I am curently working on how to compile actually, <Catachan> is that just "makefile? <jrib> make -f makefile.linux <Catachan> okay <Catachan> out of curiosity, where did you place the extracted source? <jrib> but edit makefile.linux to suit your needs. it currently copies to /usr/hla which will fail since your user doesn't have access. That is ok, just copy afterwards yourself wherever you want <jrib> Catachan: I left it where it compiled since I'm not interested in hla :) But I would install this to /opt. And then wehreever the docs said "/usr" I would just use "/opt" <Catachan> okay <Catachan> cool <Catachan> thank you so very much <jrib> Catachan: you probably need to install build-essential too <Catachan> build essential? <jrib> it's a package that gives you a bunch of development stuff <Catachan> in order to be able to compile perhaps? <jrib> right <Catachan> and without it, the command "make" does nothing? <Catachan> right? <jrib> you won't have a command "make" <Catachan> right <Catachan> okay <Catachan> so, sudo apt-get build-essential? <jrib> sudo apt-get install build-essential <Catachan> right <Catachan> okay <jrib> !compiling | Catachan <ubotu> Catachan: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!) <Catachan> oh! that is a neat feature of the bots! <jrib> Catachan: that's a general guide but hla is a bit different. If you really want to understand what is happening a good guide on makefile's would help best <Catachan> okay <Catachan> I will look them up <Catachan> thanks again <Catachan> lol <jrib> Catachan: if you just open up makefile.linux in a text editor you can probably guess what is going on too <Catachan> yeah <Catachan> I looked it over <Catachan> it appears to be fairly simple, in that it just tells where to install and compile and the like <Catachan> thought that is surely a poor explanation <Catachan> =-) <Catachan> okay, I am getting the error "No rule to make target" <Catachan> jrib? <Catachan> Sorry to call you back, about this <jrib> Catachan: what command are you using? <Catachan> make -f makefile.linux <jrib> Catachan: what is the result of: md5sum makefile.linux <Catachan> c20340067b767c18ca562a1ba595ef0f /usr/hlasrc/makefile.linux <jrib> heh ok so we have the same file <Catachan> I had to use the whole path name <jrib> Catachan: cd /usr/hlasrc <Catachan> oh, right <Catachan> that would work <jrib> does make -f makefile.linux work now? <Catachan> uhm I get33ec:265c:71fe:e26d:2682:4ec2:aaa1:99ab gcc -DLinux -c -O2 -o hlaparse.o hlaparse.c <jrib> yeah, it's doing its thing <Catachan> but it may be at work at the moment <Catachan> okay <jrib> wait a few minutes <Catachan> cool <Catachan> sure thing <jrib> just to remind you, it's a bad habit to install things into /usr directly. That's really for the package manager to work with.

Just copy the actual output and paste it here so we can see it <xratex> ok but most of it is in spanish :/ <jrib> xratex: then run it like this: 'LANGUAGE=en_US sudo fdisk -l' without the '' quotes <xratex> "here disk is something like /dev/hdb or /dev/sda/ and PARTITION is something like /dev/hda7. -u: give start and end in sector (instead of cylinder) units. -b 2048 (for certain MO disks) use 2048-byte sectors" <xratex> thats all it says <jrib> I don't understand why you don't just paste the full output <xratex> becouse im not in that computer <jrib> does that computer have internet access? <xratex> that one is next to me, and im in al lan.. live cd doesent bring xchat, and i'll have to configure everything to
