Now I'm new to the whole Linux idea, and am currently installed virtualbox and unbutu so I can use an open source editting program someone made for a special effect I'm unable to find anywhere else. Even after I'm done with this project, what would be the advantages of dual booting it instead of running it on virtualbox?
I've only just noticed how much CPU steam running with WINE takes up... It made flash player unbelievably laggy.
Okay, this is my first time using Linux ever, I want to put SRCDS on my VPS, but I'm having trouble.
I've downloaded css binaries on ~/srcds/css, and it's meant to be at ~/srcds/orangebox/cstrike
How do I move everything in that folder into cstrike? So the contents of css ALL go into the cstrike folder.
Oh, and how would I upload things from this computer (Win7) to the VPS?

Install FileZilla and connect to SFTP server and use your SSH details.
I can't connect to my VPS?
This might not be very related but,
[code]Command: open "username@103.4.16.174" 22
Command: Pass: ****************
Error: Authentication failed.
Error: Critical error
Error: Could not connect to server[/code]
also username isnt my actual username.
uhh, yeah I can't connect
What are you using to connect to it?
FileZilla.
you're supposed to use ssh. a vps isn't the same as any other web server
I'm confused.

oh and -r isnt a valid option

you need an ftp daemon installed, do you have one?
No idea.
I don't think so.
jesus you guys I just told him to sftp stop messing up the information
343N, look in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config and see if there's something yu need to do to turn on sftp

filezilla supports sftp, which is file transfer over ssh
[QUOTE=ButtsexV3;34366860]you need an ftp daemon installed, do you have one?[/QUOTE]
NOOOOOOOO
[QUOTE=thelinx;34372091]filezilla supports sftp, which is file transfer over ssh[/QUOTE]
well sorry I use gnu ftp because I'm not silly
Why would you use sftp when scp is much easier, and in my experience more reliable and even [I]faster[/I].
[editline]24th January 2012[/editline]
Plus, it's modern-er.
what's the difference?
SCP is not based on FTP at all, it's another protocol completely. Works like cp. And it only handles file transfers. I guess I've gotten so used to ssh that I can't see a reason you'd want to use anything else to, for example, actually browse the directories on the remote end.

Never mind, I accidentally a 4.
[QUOTE=LieutenantLeo;34336040]What the fuck, this is new for Arch, but, uh, it did it by itself...[/QUOTE]
Surprisingly that happens to me a lot as well in Arch. "Fuck this is going to take forever to get worki.. oh!"
In Xorg, how are fonts parsed? All I know is the last two refer to the encoding, but I can't find documentation on the font string.
[code]
-*-*-medium-r-*-*-6-*-*-*-*-*-UTF-8

I've spent few hours so far looking for a decent lightweight distro to run off my USB key that actually works, I've had a bunch of problems with everything I've tried so far. DSL complains about not finding a KNOPPIX filesystem, xPud's installation of Xorg fatal'd out with a "no screens found" error and so on. Trying out puppy now, hopefully I'll have better luck!
Nothing :(

I just smacked sabayon on my usb, and it worked.
You can install whatever edition you want, just keep in mind that both gnome and kde take up a lot of space.
I use Awesome on mine, and I have a few webservers and two database systems, nodejs, some music player and a whole lot other stuff on my usb, including all my code and git.
Which all in all totals up to about 8Gb, or less since I also counted temporary files and folder around the system, and portage sources.
[editline]27th January 2012[/editline]
Thoug keep in mind that it comes with all graphic and input drivers preinstalled.
So you have to remove that yourself.

Yeah, all the "big" distros I tried, such as fedora and arch, worked perfectly. I just really want to have something tiny on there like Puppy, DSL or xPud. All of them refuse to work though :(
DSL was abandoned a while ago. TinyCore is it's successor basically.

Oh, I didn't know that. I'll try TinyCore now and get back to you :)
Playing around with cjdns, VM machine crying because my rig has to recompile the damn thing all the time because the developer keeps playing around with it.
Ok, so I tried using unetbootin to install these things to my USB key, and I got [i]slightly[/i] better results. DSL, TinyCore and SliTaz all have this weird problem where it works for about 2 seconds, then freezes for 5, then works for 2 and so on, and xPud just failed to even boot. Puppy got further; it was working pretty much flawlessly, except it doesn't seem to support 1920x1080 screens and every other resolution had a weird combination of wrong aspect ratio and black bars on the sides. I'm tempted to just put Arch on there and give up with the idea of a Linux distro running from RAM, they all seem far too much effort to get working...
I can't code to save my life, but PC repair is a part of my daily life, and I'm only as good as the tools I possess. While my project is nothing too extravagant, I've been putting together an "All-in-one" multiboot USB stick for general PC repair. Most modern PCs can boot from USB, and it is alot more convenient than carrying a cakebox of CDs and DVDs, which are easily damaged, and rely on mechanical hardware. Discs also take significantly longer to boot from. This multiboot USB stick was created with YUMI, which you can download here: [b][url=http://www.pendrivelinux.com/yumi-multiboot-usb-creator/]Y.U.M.I. Multiboot USB Creator[/url][/b]
I have extensively edited the menu systems to my liking, essentially re-writing most of them. All the artwork was made by me in Photoshop CS5. The modified Nyan Cat is copyright PRguitarman: [b][url]http://www.prguitarman.com/index.php?id=348[/url][/b]
My current on-going project of the past month:
[release][b]M[/b]ediCat [b]E[/b]mergency [b]D[/b]isk[b] S[/b]ystem
Boot into Various Linux distros (I currently use Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu, and Mint).
Can boot into the Windows 7 installer
Various anti-virus scanners
Disc partitioning and cloning tools
Hiren's Boot CD + Mini XP
Ultimate Boot CD
Pentesting tools for cracking and monitoring network traffic
Reset and/or recover Windows user account passwords (NT/XP/Vista/7/8DP)
GRUB and GRUB 2 repair
PC backup and recovery
Offline registry editor[/release]
I have personally tested and successfully booted everything on this drive. When I am satisfied with the progress of this project, I will release this as opensource, without the distros and ISOs. It will contain only the modified menus (text files) and artwork (.PSD file).

Gentlemen\women, it seems I'm having an issue with my Linux installation.
I am (was) running Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64 with pretty much vanilla setup, using the ATI proprietary drivers. It was running fine this morning, then I went onto windows 7 for a bit. When I restarted back to use linux again, it wouldn't boot. The system was locked up to such a degree that even the kernel-level keyboard shortcuts did not respond and the computer wouldn't reset when I pressed the physical reset button.
After doing some fiddling in the recovery console, updating packages and trying out some commands I've reached the conclusion that my x server is fucked. Whether that's as a result of the drivers or not I'm not sure -- but when I run "vesa" drivers in xorg.conf, x starts fine but in a shit resolution; or when I use "fglrx" drivers it won't boot but hangs my system.
I posted my most recent xorg log to a linux friend but he didn't seem to find anything of note in there. I'm hoping this problem will resolve itself as quickly as it developed itself, but if it doesn't, any tips?
