oh u dont get? he is a fellow freeloader, he wants to use a java app for his assisted fbt. he needs to be able to get it to work widout internet at first, that is the amin ish

lynxnoon:
@4ller
na wah for u oh!!. . . . u just no dey wan ansa your guy dis days
ok oh!!!

AHH, NOOOOOO!!!! my OGA , i remain humble and loyal o.

empathy and pidgin nor dey gree me connect yim with IWP these days, so i use my mail box to chat if at all. the thing been dey get K-Leg na, as per the fbt ish, so i dont see the pings at times, othertimes im on anor tab and fail to notice the yahoo tab blinking in time.!

abeg if anyone else is getting this with me too, i dey very sorry o. its not intentional!  
i am used to empathy wey go everly disturb the screen with ping message when e enter so this web page gig dey do me some how.

I DEY SORRY O, I REMAIN LOYAL.

@ lynx, i saw that msg yesterday abt the opening. thanks. i did it, but difficult to upload stuff sha!

wait first, lets start from the top.

lets see if u actually installed java . run java -version
mine says:

fola@fola-Aspire-5517:~$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode, sharing)
fola@fola-Aspire-5517:~$


that confirms that i have java installed

i ask because .jar files associate with java. so if it is not installed, it simply tries to open as an archive, u know like a zip file. which i think is what is going on.

BUT if it says java is installed like mine, then you should right click that .jar file too and change the association (open with) to java. thats exactly like in windows when you choose what application to open particular files with.


NEXT
when you cd into a folder, its not supposed to do anything except cd into it. its exactly like in windows too na, change directory is the same everywhere.

anyway after doing cd, and it does not give any error message, you are supposed to the run whatever command you want to run in that directory!

MY EXAMPLE

fola@fola-Aspire-5517:~$ cd '/home/fola/India'
fola@fola-Aspire-5517:~/India$


note the difference between the two lines? at the cmd line i am now inside the "india" folder

then i run
fola@fola-Aspire-5517:~/India$ sudo java -jar IndiaWebProxy.jar
[sudo] password for fola:

it asks me for a password. i type my password. then it executes my command or rather in my case starts the application.!!


anyway, im willing to bet the java didnt install properly.

why not save yourself some stress and get some paid internet or go somewhere u can get and just install these stuff.


YOU SEE ITS A BIG MISCONCEPTION THAT LINUX IS HARDER. you are simply new and learning. the times table was once the hardest thing in the world remember? back when 13x12 was a nightmare

actually im pretty willing to bet your error is from the java install. in the first place why in God's name was it named autodl? IDM shey? 
not that it matters, im just catching trips. renaming it is not a bad idea sha.

you are doing much better than i did at first, this stuff u trying, na fbt make me learn am by force, back in the days of YF

seriously, if java -version fails, i think your install is bad, and i think it must be from that ./  before executing the java binary

anyway. i hope to be free this weekend, will boot windows so i can chat on YIM. right now i wan close from work

chei see me o, see my life, v3 don turn to linux guru leave me behind o!

@ puskin u see my offline? that ish nor be from the OS na from the VM player, change the settings for the VM. or something, . . . . .
or maybe change the resolution of the os, but i doubt sha. e dey for monitor setting, check preferences

@ Bankole, u know i have to confess, I AM VERY CONFUSED!!

anyway, congrats on getting the install done.

now first thing is to change directory: there is a space after cd

cd /bankole not cd/bankole

secondly, what of the other stuff in the indiaproxy zip? i think they should be in that folder too or am i the one who cant remember clearly, i seem to think the zip has like 4 stuff, the certificate, the binary, and stuff?

anyways, that .sh script, rightclick on it, choose properties, look thru it and check the make executable box.

then save and close, doubleclick on the file, choose "run in terminal" it will open a terminal, put ur password and voila it should be up.



alternatively, cd into the folder and run "sudo java -jar IndiaWebProxy.jar"

remember, the layman's cd is to open a terminal, type cd<space> then drag the folder into the terminal, press enter!!


for apps, wellz there are sooo many that i cant begin to list. what i will do is do a list of my favorites and post here. you may eventually like other options but im pretty sure that my choices are the bomb!!!! l8r sha, now am at work!!

remember to install the codecs, first thing! sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

they are about 60 MB, contains all the video and sound codecs, flash etc etc, all the essentials!

as in really ehn, this nuccas want us to believe all these semi-literate/illiterate, predominantly dumb artistes have suddenly developed so much intelligence to put together all these shows for their what ever cult?

as in u mean really the supposedly biggest/baddest cult?

LWKMD!

anyway what i see is serious marketing strategems from the PR folks, i mean it seems to be working!!!

i am not inclined to believe the story. nonetheless, if it indeed happened, its a very new development!

all the talk about when i was there blabla is just sour grapes, what grade did u get, "mr in my days?" if u did not get what you expected to your mind, and other people passed, does that mean that they cheated?


anyway, clearly one thing is certain, the so-called malpractice definitely does not extend to the exam room, that ANYONE WHO WENT THROUGH LAWSCHOOL CAN TESTIFY TO!

so whoever was "smart" enough to get the questions must be smart enough to know the answers and regurgitate them competently in the exam room! now the chances of that you must agree with me are very very slim! abi u think a dunce with money will suddenly develop enough brain power to remember the answers to bar final exams?
u need to write that exam to know what its like.

its like giving a doc MBBS expo, if he knew little b4, u aint helping him nada!

besides, if you are in doubt, just take a look at the grades for bar final every year and tell me if that looks like grades for an exam where people cheat and pass.
or you think that a mumu can get second class in bar final? that second class is in short supply how much more distinction

precisely what are u people complaining about?

berra count ur blessings, at least there is hope you will improve, and now aint exactly all bad anyway!

count ur blessings and stop whining. even citeh of the moni miss road fame would give an arm and leg to be in ur position

There should be little wonder that 'complacency' is emerging as the single-word disparagement of Arsenal's season because the vice runs deep at the Emirates. Complacency has seeped into the club from the very top, through a hierarchy more concerned with the colour of their accounts than calling their manager to proper account for half a decade of trophyless failure and it remains the foremost explanation for why Arsene Wenger continues to lead Arsenal in circles.

Tangible, trophied success will forever remain unachieved until Wenger begins by addressing his own flaws - first step: appoint a number two whose chief remit is remedying the Frenchman's glaring inadequacy as a selector and tactician - and that overdue self-examination will most likely remain untaken until the Frenchman is shaken out of his comfort zone.

What will it take? A day of reckoning and a crossover when the percentage of Arsenal fans who believe that Wenger has already won his last trophy in North London start to out-number the defiant believers. After a week of fiasco, that day may not be far away.

There is surely only so much familiarity of discontent that can be taken. Mistakes are forgivable; Arsenal's flaws are unforgivable because they are ever-more ghastly repeats. Schoolboy defending. The surrendering of leads. Injuries to players selected despite being unfit. Seen it all before. Many times. So many times.

Viva la revolution - it is Arsenal's only hope of breaking free from their cycle of failure.

hehehehe lwkmd @pussyking, glo na 7.5k 4 6gb o. lol

u neva hear say new container of indian air don land? lolz. wake up guy

@ v3, we need rub minds o!, i dey hear unconfirmed rumours that air is blowing strongly and cooly

shey e don blow reach ur side?

hmmn, explains a lot.

wow what can one say, even a chav is actually "thinking" that wenger's way is better in sme respects!
times have indeed changed.

im thinking ur coach is gonna give a lame excuse soon and jump ship to go to inter

make it work with a personal server then u gat me attention

check the iso. you may need to redownload, maybe the .iso is corrupted

@ guente, i think you are on a long thing!. dial up internet ks difficult to share in that manner, if not almost impossible. i think it requires u to bridge the two network adapters and u cant bridge a dial up adapter.


that ish is possible but i only know of it on samba shares on linux. anyway what i think you should do is get one of those new routers that have usb slots for modems. some have lan ports in addition to wireless broadcast. thats the only assured way i know to do what u want in windows with less stress. the router can dial the modem, and share it on lan and wireless.



 but truth be told, on naija dial up, ur gonna suffer for performance o!

u know i have often thot of this point myself, and the conclusion i draw is= a lot of geeks just beef bill gates


i mean, well most malwares dont exactly add anything to the maker, so why focus so much on them? good old beef.


anyway, the answers are really farfetched.

1. there are like 10,000 windows install to other OS installs. (larger "victim" audience)

2. other OS, esp UNIX based ones are not so simple to mess up, plus usually it amounts to a waste of time because whatever flaw exploited is easily corrected .

3. believe it or not, i think that the malware industry is one big scam!
the industry for antivirus/ anti this or that runs into the millions of dollars if not billions a year. they feed off issues with windows which i know can be corrected with a desire to do so by MS! not easy as it would probably mean a fundamental rewrite of the os bottoms up, even a new kernel. and who is gonna do a new one? they sure as hell cannot take the nix kernel and make it proprietary.

and there is the little matter of all the other legacy devices and softwares built around windows in its present state

some of the flaws like registry etc have been around for ever, and are still targets for malwares so why is MS playing ostrich and allowing 3rd party be the ones to feed off it?

and please can someone tell me why a multi-billion coy who incidentally makes the OS itself, cannot make the best Antivirus etc for that same os? its the external coys who know how, even better than MS techs and software designers? puhlease.


4. BEEF once again!! plus its soo ridiculous some of the weaknesses in a windows machine, its kinda like lame to expect people who know how to do stuff not to just for the fun of it write malicious codes to exploit them

i remember when windows 7 was released, touted as the safest, secure ish. there was a black hat competition online for who could write a malicious code to create a fundamental flaw in it, the winner took all of 40 minutes (some asian chap)

THIRD STEP
Load the usbserial kernel module

Now we can load the usbserial kernel module and we can associate that to the USB stick.

First of all, let's check how the module is loaded:

fola@fola-Aspire-5517:~$ lsmod | grep usbserial
usbserial              43248  1 option

We see that there's the "option" module depending on the usbserial, so we need to first unload option then usbserial.
Let's do that with rmmod command.

fola@fola-Aspire-5517:~$ sudo rmmod option usbserial

fola@fola-Aspire-5517:~$ lsmod | grep usbserial

The lsmod at the end is just to ensure that usbserial is successfully unloaded. This time it should not display anything.
(IF THERE ISN'T ANY OTHER MODULE LIKE THE OPTION ONE JUST SKIP THE OPTION AND DO JUST USBSERIAL







FOURTH STEP
Now we need to know the manufacturer id and the product id of the usb device. Let's do that with lsusb command:

fola@fola-Aspire-5517:~$ lsusb
Bus 004 Device 003: ID 05ac:8213 Apple, Inc.
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 0a5c:4500 Broadcom Corp.
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 05ac:8507 Apple, Inc.
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 05ac:0237 Apple, Inc.
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 05ac:8242 Apple, Inc.
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 006: ID 19d2:0031 ONDA Communication S.p.A.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

Our device is the 19d2:0031 ONDA Communication S.p.A.

I found that after some tries, pluggin and unplugging the USB stick and checking the differences printed by lsmod. Notice that if the usb_storage module is active the product id will be different, while the manufacturer id will be the same. The output of lsmod is not very informative and helping to understand the nature of the usb device, unfortunately.

Now we can load the usbserial device specifying the vendor id and product id of the USB stick.

fola@fola-Aspire-5517:~$ sudo modprobe usbserial vendor=0x19d2 product=0x0031


NOTE THAT THE VENDOR=0X19,  SHOULD BE THE ONE YOU SEE IN YOUR OUTPUT NOT THIS ONE IN THE EXAMPLE O



now check the network manager again, it should be there, configure as appropriate

lol @ bankole, ur very welcome to learn. i can assure you in a few months time you will be happy you did and be a much much better pc user.



@ KOOLWILLY LETS ROCK FOR UR MODEM

I explain how to make it work.

PLEASE TAKE YOUR TIME TO ADAPT AS APPROPRIATE. NOTE THAT THE RESULTS IN THIS EXAMPLE WILL BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT FROM YOUR OWN RESULTS IN STUFF LIKE ID, NAME OF HARDWARE ETC, SO MODIFY AS APPROPRIATE

1st thing is plugin in that modem and reboot.
after it has booted up, open a terminal and type lsusb and see if it lists any thingy like a usb device(modem)
then check the network mgr, is it there? if it does, forget the rest.

if it doesnt read on

FIRST THING
Disable the USB storage

When the USB stick is behaving as USB storage it won't work as 3G modem. The first thing to do is to disable that.

Locate the device assigned to the USB stick: run df in terminal

fola@fola-Aspire-5517:~$ df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 199024992 113153688 75761392 60% /
udev 2018164 296 2017868 1% /dev
none 2018164 340 2017824 1% /dev/shm
none 2018164 324 2017840 1% /var/run
none 2018164 0 2018164 0% /var/lock
none 2018164 0 2018164 0% /lib/init/rw
/dev/sr1 26330 26330 0 100% /media/3Connect

The 3Connect one is the USB stick, so let's unmount it, to be able - later - to unload the usb_storage kernel module.

fola@fola-Aspire-5517:~$ sudo eject /dev/sr1
[sudo] password for fola: *****









SECOND STEP
now let's unload the usb_storage kernel module.

fola@fola-Aspire-5517:~$ lsmod | grep usb_storage
usb_storage 66016 0

fola@fola-Aspire-5517:~$ sudo rmmod usb_storage


fola@fola-Aspire-5517:~$ lsmod | grep usb_storage

The first command (lsmod) checks that usb_storage is loaded, and see if there are other modules depending on it. therefore it should be showing just that usb_storage like in my example. There aren't, so we can remove the module (rmmod command). Last command (lsmod) is to verify that the module is successfully unloaded; if it doesn't display anything means that the usb_storage module is gone, so it's ok!

mobinga send a http link to me i nor dey do torrents

err well i can only say if you know what you are doing.


i guess from the standpoint that osx is a nix based os, out of the box it is, plus the far lesser malware for it.

but if you truly knew what u doing, and paranoid enuf, even windows can be secure.



problem really is very few pple know how to properly use a windows system! the way it is, you could use if for years and not know the slightest security measure.

therefore as a noob, sure osx is more secure BUT what is the use of a security vault when the owner leaves it open? u culd be easily more insecure on osx if u do the wrong things!



well i dont use osx now, have used it in the past so maybe im wrong?

for wetin, FTA sef need come down to like 12 k for the whole thingy, then we talking
30-50k mush na

airbender:
* BRUSH DIRT ON MY SHOULDER OFF*
do u really think i give a F U C K. . .stop showing your s-t-u-p-i-d-i-t-y and ask me in a polite manner if u want a reasonable answer SCUM-BAG

yup of course, i know you wont give a *F*U*C*K*, why would you, you are too dumb to actually know what it means

now im guessing the moderators of this section are actually too lazy to do something about this, well if you people don't take this little stuff seriously, this particular f.o.o.l may go unnoticed but am very sure there will be a day when one dunce will put this blog in jeopardy with all this nonsense.

@ airbender, i feel sorry for you actually, wonder how and why you lost your mind and senses to this extent.
keep frothing at the mouth okay, its one of the symptoms of dementia.

thats why we always recommend the usb install option these days.

did u do a Md5sum check on the .iso? its always adviseable to check after download.

if you dont have a way to boot the .iso to create a bootable usb, then get UNETBOOTIN! it will enable you to create a bootable stick.

google for how to use Md5sum in windows, the u see its cmd line too

anyway, this one that u say the VM install is failing too, im guessing you should do the MD5Sum check. the md5sum should be were you got the .iso from too.


like i said, best case scenario is to get a 1gb flash, use it to make a bootable. when thru u can always format it back for other uses!! at times its the cd burner or the cd themselves that are crazy

simplicita!! thats the trick, not all the over serious, too much shots

see as water don finish my lapie

pls can we do desktop videos too

how una dey take put embed code sef make i do una long, strong tins

if i talk dis one naw, peeps go begin dey suspect me o

ok i actually was sitting in a bus jejely on my own when this chap joined the bus holding th ;Dis large flyer and it said startimes is now 7k!!!!!!

somebody should please advice those people, at this point in time now, it aint about the cost no more, its now about content.

dstv and hitv have slashed prices, so now its the content not the prices that matter else in the next 2 months most people using it would be sporting a dstv installation just to watch nollywood.

NB, just curious, what stations are on dstv 1.5k bouquet? hope they dont shyte on startimes o, else they are in trouble

i just remembered that you can use unetbootin to install on a partition too. partition the drive first, then select it as the target drive in unetbootin, it will also install.

next reboot, you will see the options for which os to boot



Hard Disk Install Mode

If you provide a LiveCD iso file, such as the Ubuntu desktop iso, to UNetbootin and use the hard disk install mode, the resulting install will NOT be a full, standard hard drive installation. Rather, you are simply booting into the live environment, the same way as if you had booted from a live CD or a live USB, except it's being loaded from your hard disk instead. This is often referred to as a "frugal install", as it doesn't install a dedicated bootloader and doesn't make a separate partition, but rather piggybacks off the existing OS's bootloader and installs the files for the live environment inside the existing partition.

Making a full, standard hard disk install if you can't use a Live USB

If you want to make a full, standard install and can't use a Live USB drive as your installer, you can still use a frugal install as the installer (with some extra work needed for partitioning). The particular details of this task depends on the boot mechanism used by your distribution (as you are unable to repartition your drive while it's mounted). Again, this issue only arises if you're installing to hard disk from a frugal install, and not if you're installing to hard disk from a Live USB.


To install a distribution that needs access to the source medium while running, then you will need to do the repartitioning before you launch the actual installer.

1. why not do a hard drive install? you can use a pen drive(flash). there are ways to boot the .iso so you can create the bootable flash.
or just get this software UNETBOOTIN, its very good for creating bootable drives for a lot of different OS and Utilities.

i think the wubi installs give slightly degraded performance imho.

2. i think that error is solely a windows issue, maybe you need to run the wubi as administrator.

you know what you are doing is like installing a program in windows, if the windows dies, your ubuntu install dies as well, and you cant really fiddle with the windows partition/drive.
