Ben64 2017-03-08 17:09:47
not really
Peetz0r 2017-03-08 17:10:16
well, valkyrie114 will find out if it works or not I guess...
Ben64 2017-03-08 17:10:24
spoiler - it doesn't
OerHeks 2017-03-08 17:10:34
there used to be a hack with installing through virtualbox, something like that
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:10:44
<-- doesn't feel like buying a USB at the moment
Ben64 2017-03-08 17:10:49
they're $1
OerHeks 2017-03-08 17:10:56
but best thing is usb/dvd or isoboot https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot
Peetz0r 2017-03-08 17:10:57
me neither, that's why I already have one ;)
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:11:00
True
Ben64 2017-03-08 17:11:02
how have you gotten through life without one
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:11:02
Eh
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:11:13
Then I'll have no use for it tho for a while
Peetz0r 2017-03-08 17:11:18
Ben64: I barely use mine anymore, other than installing os'es ;)
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:11:38
I'm going to be in the same scenario
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:11:45
Huh :(
Peetz0r 2017-03-08 17:11:50
I still have one ;)
Peetz0r 2017-03-08 17:12:00
I'd buy a new one if this one breaks any day
alex23 2017-03-08 17:16:57
10 years ago 32 gb ram would be soo pricey
Sneak_ 2017-03-08 17:17:19
hello
Sneak_ 2017-03-08 17:17:38
cant squid proxy to work
Monona 2017-03-08 17:18:28
How would I play streaming videos from my computer via roku, if that's possible?
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:20:19
Guys
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:20:19
The coolest thing happened
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:20:19
It worked
Sneak_ 2017-03-08 17:20:19
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/http_access/
Ben64 2017-03-08 17:20:19
valkyrie114: for now sure
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:20:19
No it didn't -_-
Ben64 2017-03-08 17:20:19
valkyrie114: keep in mind it is not supported in here at all
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:20:19
Well it iddn't work so that's fine
Sneak_ 2017-03-08 17:20:19
so
Peetz0r 2017-03-08 17:21:36
alex23: it still isn't really that cheap ;)
OerHeks 2017-03-08 17:22:04
Monona, plex, minidnla and maybe vlc too http://askubuntu.com/questions/859537/how-to-serve-video-to-roku-media-player
reisio 2017-03-08 17:22:04
if you can serve video, you don't really need the roku
reisio 2017-03-08 17:22:24
most "smart" TVs will come with something that can grok dlna, though
reisio 2017-03-08 17:22:31
all inferior to just hooking an rpi or other SBC to the TV, however
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:22:32
well unetbootin doesn't work either
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:22:33
lol
reisio 2017-03-08 17:22:38
work for what?
Monona 2017-03-08 17:22:38
0erHeks: Can plex stream videos that aren't saved locally?
Ben64 2017-03-08 17:22:47
valkyrie114: it does if you buy a usb drive
reisio 2017-03-08 17:23:00
it's O(h)-erHeks
Ben64 2017-03-08 17:23:08
apparently your time isn't worth anything either
OerHeks 2017-03-08 17:23:11
Monona, what an odd question ...
AndroUser 2017-03-08 17:23:14
Ok im pretty new with Linux, and am duelbooting with windows. I just rebooted to get to linux, and it gave me a boot error. I tried running an application that fixes everything on an external usb, but that didnt work. Anyone mind taking a look at this http://paste2.org/CmMG1w3w
Sneak_ 2017-03-08 17:23:19
so/
AndroUser 2017-03-08 17:23:42
Sorry im on my phone
Sneak_ 2017-03-08 17:23:54
need help with proxy
Monona 2017-03-08 17:23:57
reisio: I'll have to look into that stuff. Don't think it's a smart TV.
reisio 2017-03-08 17:24:21
raspberry pi & competitors cost $5-30
Ben64 2017-03-08 17:24:24
AndroUser: you don't appear to have any linux installed
reisio 2017-03-08 17:24:33
although you'd get a lot more from paying the extra $40 or so for an x86
alex23 2017-03-08 17:24:55
reisio what kind of x86
reisio 2017-03-08 17:25:04
alex23: the kind that isn't arm, is all
alex23 2017-03-08 17:25:08
I need cheap laptops
AndroUser 2017-03-08 17:25:10
Well thats weird, I was just on it before i restarted and booted to Windows
Monona 2017-03-08 17:25:19
OerHeks: Basically, would like to watch videos from my browser to TV via roku. Haven't tried doing it yet, will start with plex.
AndroUser 2017-03-08 17:26:37
Gparted says "invalid partition table on /dev/sda - wrong signature 0
OerHeks 2017-03-08 17:28:34
Sneak_, maybe you want the ubuntu wiki https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/squid.html
Bashing-om 2017-03-08 17:29:06
AndroUser: Looks like you were "Try Ubuntu without installing" before . I also see no linux partitions .
AndroUser 2017-03-08 17:30:35
No I swear I had it installed on my ssd, because I was having problems allocating more space to it. Thats why I have gparted installed on my usb
OerHeks 2017-03-08 17:31:32
AndroUser, line 80/81, invalid mbr + empty partition
OerHeks 2017-03-08 17:31:56
it is just an empty extended partition
Bashing-om 2017-03-08 17:32:45
AndroUser: OerHeks More troubles : Disk /dev/sda: 250GB >> Partition Table: unknown .
AndroUser 2017-03-08 17:34:19
If you guys want me to run anything on my bootable usb to try and diagnose the problem just ask
OerHeks 2017-03-08 17:35:55
AndroUser, just start the usb installer again? i have no other clue
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:36:18
shocker I honestly don't feel like buying a USB
AndroUser 2017-03-08 17:37:22
So if I ignore the problems and open gparted, it shows my partition with Linux on it (/dev/sda4), but its all unallocated
Ben64 2017-03-08 17:37:40
AndroUser: aka deleted
AndroUser 2017-03-08 17:38:03
Right
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:38:08
Ben64: So the only way to do this is with a USB drive which I'll never use
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:38:10
Again
Sneak_ 2017-03-08 17:38:11
http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/http_access/
Sneak_ 2017-03-08 17:38:15
i did this
Ben64 2017-03-08 17:38:35
valkyrie114: either do it or not
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:38:40
Nah
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:38:42
I'm good
Ben64 2017-03-08 17:38:46
then bye
Sneak_ 2017-03-08 17:38:46
but dont want spec ip i want all
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:39:08
Noth worth the money spent on a USB
valkyrie114 2017-03-08 17:39:10
Bye
Sneak_ 2017-03-08 17:40:13
hmm
Bashing-om 2017-03-08 17:40:16
AndroUser: "/dev/sda4 385,073,152 488,396,799 103,323,648 5 Extended " the extended is a "container" that could hold other logical partitions .
OerHeks 2017-03-08 17:41:55
i see no bitlocker stuff, so it should be possible to install on sda
AndroUser 2017-03-08 17:43:33
Yea that container had my ubuntu and my swap in it
OerHeks 2017-03-08 17:44:10
AndroUser, start diskcheck from windows to be sure the errors in the mbr are gone
OerHeks 2017-03-08 17:44:19
maybe that is a help
AndroUser 2017-03-08 17:46:14
How do I bypass grub to get to my Windows partition?
OerHeks 2017-03-08 17:47:19
errr .. you just said: Well thats weird, I was just on it before i restarted and booted to Windows
OerHeks 2017-03-08 17:48:26
you have no grub, logically
AndroUser 2017-03-08 17:48:26
Sorry, i ment tried to boot to windows
