[SLUG] Obtaining Ubuntu DVD

2006-12-04 Thread Dimitri Koussa
Hi everyone,

In a couple of weeks I'll be traveling to a country on the other side of the
digital divide where I plan on setting up an Ubuntu machine for a non techie.
And bandwidth is very expensive over there so I wanted the DVD install edition.

The Ubuntu website links to Amazon but that says shipping is only available in 
the
US. And I'm not sure they can ship within two weeks.

Does anyone know where I can obtain an Ubuntu install DVD?

Cheers

 Your best bet is to download and burn one (or find someone to download and
 burn one for you).

I was hoping it wouldn't come to that. I have to pay ~5.5 cents/Mb here at USyd
so that's $175 for the DVD...I guess I'll start emailing my friends asking if
they've got some bandwidth they can spare.

Unless...does anyone have the DVD? I will pay for or replace the DVD and can go
pick it up (if close to city).

Thanks

 That's astonishing, surely usyd have a mirror?

There have been some mirrors and proxies set up by different departments and
societies at some point in time. Nothing (I know of at least) that lasted and
certainly nothing organised by the university as a whole. Which would have been
useful.

  Unless...does anyone have the DVD? I will pay for or replace the DVD and

 There's got to be hundreds of Ubuntu users at usyd surely.

There are a few but most of the ones that I know just install using the regular 
CD
versions.

Yeah, they're pretty annoying. Spam assassin (local) doesn't seem to handle it

[SLUG] penguin recognition

2005-06-02 Thread dimitri
Just wanted an opinion.

Is the penguin globally recognized, would most people know the Linux logo,
or is it still insider information.

I am working on some Spam ads, and thought of making one for Linux and the
one concept work's only if everyone would recognize the penguin. No use
when Award judges sit there and wonder what is going on.

Cheers, Dimitri

don't know how the  Hey, perhaps Dimitri can help me source some crack for

it's boring advertising really. But you asked for it.

I thought I take a picture of a window in winter time with the typical
cross frame. The glass is foggy and just in the right bottom corner you
have a little clear circle, obviously made from some one swiping the hand
over as you do in winter time, and a little penguin looks out from there.
Not tux, a real head of a penguin.
Small Linux logo at the bottom, finished.. it would be just for brand
recognition, but not much help when i find out that not every one knows
tux.

cheers, Dimitri

 G'day Dimitri. I've had two reactions to your post. The first reaction
 was Hey, perhaps Dimitri can help me source some crack for this
 weekend then after re-reading I thought what I might really is a
little
 more elaboration on what it is you intend to do with our beloved Tux.

 As for recognition, Tux is well recognised in the IT world but only not
 widely beyond that.

Do you get to put any accompanying notes with the image for the awards?


Unfortunately not, so if Mr.. judge don't get it in 3 seconds it's gone to
the bin.
By what I've got so far is that I can't really use it as no one outside
the IT room knows little tux...

thanks, guys and sorry for the scan spam confusion...

 Having read Roger's email, it makes much more sense :) I spent some
 trying to work out whether or not this was a genuine email, an address
 harvest effort or a troll :) Doing a Tux scam ad as opposed to  SPAM ad
 will get very different responses :)

Hi Dimitri,

tail -f /var/log/syslog

also run dmesg for kernel messages.

lspci -v

should show you which controler is used, maybe you have the wrong 
kernel driver loaded.

Which distribution and Kernel (uname -r) do you use?

Repost output and we can check more in detail.

 Ok now we now that you have two UHCI usb controlers and

 Have you also checked syslog and dmesg,

Re: [SLUG] Re: USB - Harddrive

2005-05-25 Thread dimitri
Can't find the HD manufacturer. It's a 160gb drive and it is Linux 
formated, was running before on Redhat 9. I think it was mounted then as 
USB1, but not 100% sure. I thought it would be easier to mount that 
thing. Thanks very much so far.


wolfgang wrote:


from my point of view all looks good.
Connect the Harddrive(can it be switch on?) and then check again
the stuff below, the mout should be fine.
Do you have other USB devices connected?
What kind of USB-Harddrive is it (manufactor etc. )

regards

AW: [SLUG] linux start up problem

2005-05-08 Thread dimitri
Acctually I found out that the FSTAB file is fine, but I was hit by a
hacker unfortunally, so I am going to reinstall the whole thing. And yes I
am staying with Red Hat...

 Same problem for me.

 Just get hold of Ubuntu live CD and boot into this.

 and you should be able to see the drive

 

 

 He can already do that with Red Hat CD 1.



 back up the data (/home/username)

 Then your best bet is to reinstall.

 I switched to Ubuntu because of continual problems like this.

 

 

 If you put a SMB share or NFS export in /etc/fstab in Ubuntu, and that

 share became unavailable, I'd be very surprised if you didn't have the

 same problem. This has nothing to do with distros.



 I'd also be surprised if Ubuntu had a method to confirm each survice and


 skip netfs.



 Not everything is about distros.



 /me returns to chewing on orphans while running Fedora.

Re: [SLUG] Failed Boot

2005-04-20 Thread dimitri
I tried this as well, having boot troubles. Can't interact with I or control 
C.
I described the trouble earlier. No luck yet, any more tip maybe...
Thanks a lot. 

Alternativly, does anyone know some shop who does little linux repairs like 
this one? I have not even any luck there, every shop I call seems to do only 
Win stuff. But there is another Software giant coming up, now that Adobe bought 
Macromedia out...
Cheers, Dimitri

Hi all,
I have a RH system V9 which is hanging during boot at 'Mounting SMB
Filesystems' we have left it for over 48 hours and it still does not
progress. However it still responds to CTRL_ALT_DEL to re-boot, so is
their another command I can hit on the keyboard to tell it to skip this
part of the boot and keep going? I don't seem to be able to get the I
for Interactive setup happening either - it just boots normally.

CONTROL-C?
 

That won't work.
Boot normally. You don't need rescue mode.
When it says 'Welcome to Red Hat Linux, press I for interactive 
startup', press I (a few times).

Then you'll be prompted for each service that starts.
Say yes to every service except 'netfs' - that's the one with the 
problem. Then continue normally.

To disable netfs starting in future, run 'chkconfig netfs off'.
But better yet, you should simply fix netfs. You can do this by 
looking at /etc/fstab, where a Windows share is being mounted by your 
Linux machine. Maybe the Windows machien isn't connected anymore or 
has changed in some way. Fix the fix as appropriate.

[SLUG] linux start up problem

2005-04-14 Thread dimitri
Hi guys,

I am a newbe, veery bad at Linux, and I have a problem.

My Linux  server does not start up anymore. I have Red Hat 9 installed and
when I start it goes to the 4th line setting hostname, it OK's it on the
right, jumps to the next line and then stops for ever and ever.

The secound line setting time date comes up with an error, don't know if
that is related. But did not had this massage before.

One morning I had no Internet connection (DSL), so I thought restart and
hook up again, but it never rebooted. Since then I could not get a
Internet connection with my provider again (tried from other computer), he
could not find the problem. Connection was there as in Line sinc, but I
could not ping any webservice.

Any ideas how to save my data on there. I am based in Sydney. 

I hope this gives enough imfornation and hope someone have some plain
english solutions. 
Also could not update or repair with the install CD. Somehow it finds the
hard drive, but can't do it.

Thanks for comments, Dimitri
