[12:44] <Jester45> Eagle_101, the java sdk
[12:44] <Eagle_101> Jester45: yeah... what do I have to fetch to get the sdk?
[12:45] <Jester45> Eagle_101, if you want the one from the repo run "sudo apt-get install sun-java6-sdk"
[12:45] <Eagle_101> yeah thats what I want :)
[12:45] <Eagle_101> sun-sdk
[12:45] <Jester45> no sun-java6-sdk
[12:45] <Jester45> you have to tell it what version
[12:46] <Eagle_101> yeah I'm trying to get it from synaptic
[12:46] <Eagle_101> not finding it
[12:46] <Jester45> well search for sun-java6-sdk
[12:47] <Jester45> its not in main i think

[12:52] <Eagle_101> dunno :S
[12:52] <Eagle_101> sdk is software development kit
[12:52] <Eagle_101> and is what it is called in gentoo
[12:53] <Jester45> thats much more generic
[12:55] <Eagle_101>  yeah probably why there is the name change :S
[12:55] <Jester45> maybe the java-sdk was only in 5
[12:56] <Smygis> jdk stands for java development kit. There we go, Now its proved that Java is not software. :D
[12:57] <Smygis> And jdk is what sun calls it.
[01:00] <cheeseboy1> vidd u there?

[02:32] <Chikubu> how does one go about migrating from one distro to another? dsl to xbuntu
[02:33] <Jester45> install xubuntu
[02:33] <cliebow>  Chikubu :save your  documents  and install..
[02:34] <Jester45> you "can" install xubuntu from dsl but its better to just isntall xubuntu
[02:34] <vidd> Chikubu, does dsl have apt?
[02:34] <Chikubu> whats apt?
[02:35] <TheSheep> vidd: no
[02:35] <TheSheep> !apt
[02:35] <ubotu> APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE)
[02:35] <vidd> apt is the package manager for debian-based linuxes
[02:35] <Chikubu> xubuntu was hanging in install, around the point it creates partitions or formats, let it run for hours, dead
[02:35] <vidd> live cd?
[02:36] <Chikubu> yes
[02:38] <Chikubu> uses something called mydsl extension tool to add apps, its a debian based system i think
[02:38] <TheSheep> Chikubu: no, it has its own package management
[02:39] <Chikubu> its not pure debian based
[02:39] <Chikubu> ill try the live cd one more time, see if i can coax it into using the current partitins and not making new ones
[02:41] <vidd> Chikubu, get the alt cd...its better
[02:42] <Chikubu> ugg took me a week to get first one, was told to use it
[02:44] <Chikubu> wife hates when i tie up phone line for days on end
[02:45] <TheSheep> Chikubu: I think there were some bugs in the installer connected with the partitions, but they can be all worked around
[02:46] <TheSheep> Chikubu: look at the bug database
[02:46] <Chikubu> ok
[02:46] <TheSheep> !bugs | Chikubu
[02:46] <ubotu> Chikubu: If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.ubuntu.com/  -  Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots
[02:49] <Chikubu> good grief after all these i find a windows installer for ubuntu
[02:49] <Chikubu> oh wait its one of those run inside windows ones, dont want that
[02:50] <TheSheep> !install | Chikubu
[02:50] <ubotu> Chikubu: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[02:53] <Chikubu> what file system is used for journaling again? ext3?
[02:54] <Eagle_101> yea
[02:54] <Eagle_101> Chikubu: if you have to read up on what fdisk is
[02:54] <Eagle_101> !fdisk
[02:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about fdisk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:55] <Eagle_101> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fdisk#UNIX.2C_Linux_.26_Unix-derived_fdisk
[02:55] <Eagle_101> You do need to mark at least one partition as the root partition
[02:55] <Eagle_101> (that would be /)
[02:57] <Eagle_101> You can and probably should do all of it vie the GUI installer, I presume that you want to do multiple operating systems (windows and ubuntu)
[02:58] <Chikubu> ive given up on windows
[02:58] <Chikubu> the partitions are there from dsl instalation
[02:58] <Eagle_101> ok, so you want to install xubuntu and you need to keep the partitions?
[02:58] <Chikubu> just not completly sure what xbuntu needs, dsl didnt add journaling partition
[02:59] <BFTD> cheeseboy1 sorry for leaving like that
[02:59] <Chikubu> the gui dies is the problem
[02:59] <Eagle_101> right, you should be able to do a ext2 partition if you like
[02:59] <BFTD> kind of an emergency came up
[02:59] <BFTD> spider and all ya know
[02:59] <Eagle_101> Chikubu: mmm what do you mean "die"
[02:59] <Eagle_101> Are you on the live CD now?
[03:00] <Chikubu> hangs i should say, when it gets to the part it formats partion, freezes system at 15%, let it run for hours
[03:00] <Eagle_101> Chikubu: aha I've had the same problem
[03:00] <Eagle_101> are you on the LiveCD now?
[03:00] <Chikubu> yes
[03:00] <Eagle_101> ok open up a terminal
[03:01] <Chikubu> at the part asking how i want to parttion
[03:01] <Chikubu> ok 1 sec, its slow
[03:01] <Chikubu> mmm i killed the pannel for more resources, what is run command for term in xubuntu?
[03:02] <Catoptromancy> alt-f2
[03:02] <Chikubu> thats run commmand, do you mean that as terminal?
[03:02] <Chikubu> i have run program up
[03:02] <Eagle_101> Chikubu: open "applications"
[03:03] <Eagle_101> accessories
[03:03] <Eagle_101> "terminal"
[03:03] <Eagle_101> when you are there type in "fdisk" or sudo
[03:03] <Chikubu> ok i Killed xpanelm, dont have that let me get it started
[03:03] <Eagle_101> err
[03:03] <Eagle_101> ok
[03:03] <Eagle_101> alt-f2
[03:03] <Jester45> pres alt+f2 then run Terminal
[03:03] <Chikubu> xfce4-panel?
[03:03] <Catoptromancy> ChanServ : alt-f2 and " xfce4-panel"
[03:04] <Catoptromancy> err
[03:04] <Chikubu> alt f2 has run program in terminal but no terminal
[03:04] <Eagle_101> when you have a terminal open type in sudo fdisk /dev/hda , and when that opens type in 'p', and paste that output to a pastebin somewhere
[03:04] <Catoptromancy> it works similar
[03:04] <Jester45> thats if the program is a gui or not
[03:05] <Chikubu> waiting on panel to start
[03:05] <Chikubu> here it comes
[03:05] <Chikubu> still loading...hehe
[03:05] <Eagle_101> http://pastey.net/ << a pastebin if you need it :)
[03:06] <Chikubu> im gonna have to kill install looks like, eats a hog
[03:06] <Chikubu> its a hog that is
[03:07] <Eagle_101> Chikubu: yeah go ahead, you might need to do some formatting etc in fdisk
[03:07] <Eagle_101> I had to
[03:07] <Eagle_101> First it would be nice to see what partitions you do have.
[03:08] <Chikubu> its about to die
[03:08] <Chikubu> i meant exit hehe
[03:09] <Eagle_101> :)
[03:09] <Chikubu> i got three i think
[03:09] <Chikubu> a main a swap and something else
[03:09] <Chikubu> but ill dbl check
[03:09] <Chikubu> ah now its responsive
[03:10] <Chikubu> well sorta
[03:10] <Eagle_101> Chikubu: ok, just give me the url to the pastebin
[03:11] <Eagle_101> It would be nice to see what it is that you do have
[03:11] <Chikubu> got hda1 hda2 hda5
[03:11] <Eagle_101> mmm where is 3 and 4?
[03:11] <Chikubu> linux extended linux swap solaris
[03:11] <Jester45> hda5 is the swap
[03:11] <Eagle_101> :S
[03:11] <Chikubu> dsl linux partitioned it
[03:11] <Jester45> the swap gots to hda5 by defualt
[03:12] <Eagle_101> Jester45: ah ok, I've never run the default install
[03:12] <Eagle_101> ok, so now why would it get stuck at 15%
[03:12] <Eagle_101> I had this same problem, and I basically reformmated my / from ext2 to ext3
[03:12] <Chikubu> ive booted to dos and done scandisk, surface scan, no bad sectors
[03:13] <Eagle_101> Chikubu: yeah don't worry about that ;)
[03:13] <Eagle_101> so were you doing the default install?
[03:13] <Eagle_101> or a custom install?
[03:14] <Chikubu> i was doing the install from xubutu live cd, choosing to let it use all the drive
[03:14] <Eagle_101> mmm ok, I really can't help you, other then to ask you to try running the more specific install
[03:14] <Chikubu> ok u said im missing hda3 and 4?
[03:15] <Eagle_101> Chikubu: no you are not
[03:15] <Eagle_101> I am just not used to that setup
[03:15] <Chikubu> ok
[03:15] <Eagle_101> Chikubu: run the install where you can specify the partitions
[03:15] <Chikubu> the install asks you to migrate, will it see the dsl install now? i was hoping to get install not to partition or format
[03:16] <Eagle_101> Chikubu: yeah, if you do the "select partitions" you should be fine
[03:16] <Eagle_101> it might write over your / partition, but if you have a /home or other it won't touch that
[03:17] <Chikubu> thats fine, nothing there i want to save, just thougth the in place structure might help
[03:18] <Eagle_101> Chikubu: ah well if I'm right, you could simply delete your existing file system (if you don't want to keep any of it)
[03:18] <Eagle_101> but I don't see how that would help the default install, as I never did the default
[03:18] <Chikubu> delete the files or the partitions?
[03:18] <Eagle_101> so I'll just hush up, and wait on someone else that knows more
[03:19] <greg_> hi ya'all, i was wondering if aynyone can tell me the name of the curses-based network configuring program

[03:27] <Chikubu> sure wish there was a why to put install files on hard drive and run install from there
[03:27] <Chikubu>  a way not a why
[03:27] <maxamillion> Chikubu: i'm pretty sure there is a way ... lemme get you a link

[03:35] <Eagle_101> looks like someone has had that problem
[03:35] <maxamillion> greg_: i do only what i can :)
[03:36] <bkingx> Eagle_101: yeah, I saw that too.
[03:36] <bkingx> Tried it, but no go.
[03:36] <Eagle_101> ok, how did it go?
[03:36] <bkingx> Seems the card isn't recognized at all.
[03:36] <Eagle_101> bkingx: ok, try lspci and paste that into a pastebin somewhere
[03:37] <Eagle_101> lspci in a terminal
[03:38] <bkingx> Eagle_101: this is the only line that applies: 02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Belkin Unknown device 701f (rev 20)
[03:38] <Eagle_101> Unknown device eh?
[03:39] <Chikubu> bbiab, need to look at something besides computuer screen for a bit, uncross eyes
[03:40] <Eagle_101> mmm yours uses the bcm43xx driver as well :S
[03:40] <bkingx> seems like it.
[03:42] <Eagle_101> ok as you are using the same driver have a look at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=197102

[03:43] <Eagle_101> *me
[03:43] <bkingx> OK  <looking>
[03:43] <Eagle_101> if you just want it to work see
[03:43] <Eagle_101> To use the native bcm43xx driver:
[03:43] <Eagle_101> Download http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.p...8&d=1177147133 and double click it to install. Reboot. Enjoy wireless. (this should work, but if for some reason it fails, see the troubleshooting)
[03:43] <Wolfcastle> can someone please paste their sources.list?
[03:44] <bkingx> OK, thanks Eagle_101, I'll give it a shot
[03:44] <Eagle_101> don't know if it will work and no gaurrentee
[03:44] <Eagle_101> but the latter (instaling the native 43xx driver should do it, if thats your problem)

[03:47] <Eagle_101> its in the link I gave you, please keep in mind that this  is targeted or another driver

[04:37] <Chikubu> hey, someone talk to me about windoz emulation in xubuntu
[04:38] <Chikubu> i had a few kids cds i wanted to run if possible, i had copy the cd's to iso files and used a program to mount them as a virtual cd, think i can do that under xubuntu?
[04:40] <T`> Chikubu, you can just mount the iso's in linux
[04:40] <T`> you can use -o loop
[04:40] <T`> mount -o loop file.iso /mnt/iso
[04:41] <Chikubu> ok
[04:41] <Chikubu> the games are low end, not directx cpu intensive, think wine can handle?
[04:41] <T`> i dont know
[04:41] <T`> never used wine
[04:42] <Chikubu> ok, ill be trying then :)
[04:42] <Chikubu> my thought is if win98 can run it xubuntu should
[04:52] <BFTD> how do i convert an image file to RAW?
[05:01] <cheeseboy> hi

[05:09] <curiogeo> I tried installing xfce4 and xub-desktop on ubuntu 6.06 and it is not displaying the x windows is there an issue with this?
[05:09] <curiogeo> xfce is the only installed desktop and environment
[05:28] <ZenMasterJG> hey all, so i've just downloaded & burned (twice, now, to be sure) the 7.04 image. I select install from the first screen, and then i get errors "can't access tty; job control turned off" and ata2.01: failed to set xfermode (err_mask=0x4)
[05:28] <ZenMasterJG> then it punts me to an initramfs prompt
[05:29] <ZenMasterJG> any ideas what could be going wrong?
[05:38] <Pumpernickel> ZenMasterJG: Checked http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2805345 yet?
[05:38] <Jester45> hiya cellofellow
[05:38] <cellofellow> hey
[05:39] <ZenMasterJG>  Pumpernickel: nope, hadn't seen that one. i'll give it a shot. thanks!
[05:42] <curiogeo> anyone else having "Temporary failure resolving 'ca.archive.ubuntu.com'
[05:42] <curiogeo> "
[05:44] <Pumpernickel> Works for me.
[05:44] <cellofellow> use us.archive.ubuntu.com instead
[05:44] <cellofellow> for a little while
[05:46] <curiogeo> will do
[05:48] <ZenMasterJG>  Pumpernickel now it gets quite a lot further, but it seems to try and boot the installer but instead of the GUI i get a lot of screen garbage (vertical colored lines)
[05:50] <ZenMasterJG> so theres no text-mode installer i can use anymore, huh?
[05:50] <Pumpernickel> There's the alternate cd.
[05:51] <Pumpernickel> It uses the original ncurses installer.
[05:52] <ZenMasterJG> maybe i'll give that one a shot... think i have to buy more blank cds first...
[05:56] <curiogeo> cellofellow:  I am still having trouble with the lookup
[05:56] <curiogeo> Where do i adjust the dns settings
[05:57] <curiogeo> I want to point to a specific dns server
[05:57] <curiogeo> is this done in interfaces
[05:58] <Pumpernickel> DNS servers are read from /etc/resolv.conf
[05:59] <curiogeo> mine seems to have a symbolic link yet I gave my os a static IP
[05:59] <AlexC> my carrier keeps changing my dns everytime i connect
[05:59] <curiogeo> Is there a way to view what the IP address I am looking at is?
[05:59] <AlexC> how do i make it stay the same?
[05:59] <curiogeo> looking at for DNS lookup?
[06:01] <curiogeo> this is the first line in my resolv.conf " Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)"
[06:01] <curiogeo> the next line says do not edit this file by hand
[06:06] <curiogeo> Alexc: You can set your nameserver manually in resolv.conf
[06:07] <curiogeo> nameserver x.x.x.x
[06:07] <AlexC> how do you know if it's taken?
[06:08] <curiogeo> you can ping a URL?
[06:09] <curiogeo> you need to ensure that the NS you chosse is valid/
[06:09] <curiogeo> ie ping www.alexc.com
[06:16] <logmein> how do I stop firefox from loading my xubuntu theme?

[07:02] <logmein> search synaptic for samba client if you need a gui or something
[07:24] <Chikubu> what folder is samba located?  synaptic show its installed, but a guide im reading says it should be in /ect/init.d/samba but its not
[07:25] <Chikubu> how can you search the file system, dont see a search option in thunar file manager
[07:26] <Chikubu> thunar help says file not found
[07:58] <Chikbu> is samba a package for viewing network shares on win systems, sharing resources with other win systems or both?

[08:32] <logmein> nope

[11:55] <MaxFrames> hello
[11:56] <MaxFrames> i need a bit of help to install xubuntu 7.04 on a laptop
[11:56] <MaxFrames> for I don't know what reason, it takes literally ages to load the OS from the install CD
[11:56] <MaxFrames> I want to try to launch the setup in safe graphics mode from the command line
[11:56] <MaxFrames> how do I do that?
[11:57] <MaxFrames> I am now presented with a command prompt "boot: _"
[12:03] <MaxFrames> or alternatively, how do i boot a minimum OS and then install from the web instead of from the cd?
[12:11] <MaxFrames> anybody?
[12:11] <predaeus> MaxFrames, please repeat the question
[12:13] <MaxFrames> my laptop apparently has problems reading the install CD... it takes ages to boot the graphical installer
[12:13] <MaxFrames> I need a way to install xubuntu via command line or in safe graphics mode
[12:13] <predaeus> did you try the alternate cd?
[12:13] <predaeus> it has the text based installer
[12:14] <MaxFrames> tex based, but with a wizard, right?
[12:14] <predaeus> yes should be, never tried it but I think it is just the same installer that ubuntu had before providing the graphical one. and that is like a wizard yes.
[12:14] <MaxFrames> ok, so i'll try that
[12:15] <MaxFrames> i wonder what the problem with the cd is. i booted the laptop with win me and read the cd no problem. it's only when i boot from the cd that it becomes to skip and it takes ages
[12:16] <MaxFrames> becomes=begins
[12:16] <predaeus> MaxFrames, you can do a cd check in the boot menu, maybe it is a faulty burn
[12:17] <predaeus> MaxFrames, also you can do a md5 checksum check on the .iso image after downloading before burning to see if it is ok.
[12:21] <MaxFrames> it probably is a faulty burn... or a monty burns
[12:22] <predaeus> :-D
[12:26] <MaxFrames> GOSH
[12:27] <MaxFrames> the alternate CD does not fit in 650 MB
[12:27] <TheSheep> MaxFrames: there is also the mini cd, it downloads everything from the network
[12:28] <MaxFrames> do you know where to download it?
[12:29] <predaeus> I think if you have a swap partition the live cd will use it, which might speed things up too
[12:29] <TheSheep> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[12:30] <MaxFrames> so no mini cd for x-ubuntu?
[12:30] <TheSheep> MaxFrames: it will only install the base system, you then need to install the 'xubuntu-desktop' package yourself
[12:30] <MaxFrames> ok
[12:30] <MaxFrames> thanks

[01:44] <alnokta> if i plug a flash disk, will it appear automatically in /media?
[02:14] <alnokta> any idea?
[02:14] <R[a] ndom> dont think so
[02:14] <R[a] ndom> but if should appear in thunar
[02:14] <R[a] ndom> if you click on it in thunar it will mount it
[02:15] <R[a] ndom> or you can mount it manually
[02:15] <alnokta> how manually please?
[02:17] <R[a] ndom> $sudo mount what where
[02:17] <R[a] ndom> the problem is I'm not sure wht flash disks come up as..
[02:17] <R[a] ndom> I usually mount external HDDs
[02:17] <R[a] ndom> like "sudo mount /dev/sdd2 /media/ipod" for my pod
[02:17] <R[a] ndom> you have to know the /dev entry that the flash disk comes up as
[02:18] <R[a] ndom> http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/11637.html
[02:18] <R[a] ndom> that seems to cover it
[02:24] <alnokta> huh
[02:24] <alnokta> cool
[02:24] <alnokta> i just plugged it
[02:24] <alnokta> and the folder opened :)
[02:24] <alnokta> and an icon on the desktop
[04:00] <Catoptromancy_> what was the bash command to find something
[04:01] <Catoptromancy_> I use $find / doom2.wad
[04:01] <Catoptromancy_> and it cant find
[04:01] <Catoptromancy_> also $find / DOOM2.WAD
[04:01] <Catoptromancy_> I know its there
[04:02] <Catoptromancy_> is there a switch that ignores case?
[04:23] <vidd_laptop> Catoptromancy_, did you try locate?
[04:32] <Catoptromancy_> $locate / doom2.wad      ?
[04:32] <Catoptromancy_> hey that works much better
[04:32] <Catoptromancy_> heh
[04:45] <vidd_laptop> Catoptromancy_, lol
[05:41] <qudama> can i run xubuntu on my P II 350 Mhz, 96 RAM?
[05:44] <Smygis_> qudama, Yes if you use the alternate installer. But it wont run fast.
[05:45] <qudama> Smygis_: what's the minimum run for that?
[05:46] <Smygis_> qudama, 64MB ram and like 300MHz
[05:46] <qudama> Smygis_: thnx
[06:20] <schlumpf-> hi i need a plugin for mozilla-firefox. plugin needet to play video/divx how are my chances to make it happen on xubuntu 7.04
[06:22] <Catoptromancy_> schlumpf-, you needs libs
[06:22] <schlumpf-> which one?
[06:22] <Catoptromancy_> sudo aptitude install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse libxine-main1 libxine-extracodecs totem-xine ubuntu-restricted-extras
[06:22] <Catoptromancy_> thatll make nearly all media formats work
[06:22] <schlumpf-> k thx
[06:22] <TheSheep> Catoptromancy_: gstreamer is not necessary, and it would pull in half of gnome
[06:23] <Catoptromancy_> hmmm
[06:23] <schlumpf-> so?
[06:23] <TheSheep> Catoptromancy_: better use the xine plugin for mozilla
[06:23] <Catoptromancy_> I dont need gtreamers?
[06:23] <Catoptromancy_> totem-xine?
[06:23] <Catoptromancy_> what does gstreamer do anyway? will it cut out some media files if I dont have it?
[06:24] <Catoptromancy_> schlumpf-, just try totem-xine
[06:24] <Catoptromancy_> heh i know that much
[06:24] <schlumpf-> he only found totem-mozilla?
[06:24] <TheSheep> Catoptromancy_: gstreamer and xine are two possible backends for media players
[06:24] <schlumpf-> will that do?
[06:24] <Catoptromancy_> intersting
[06:25] <Catoptromancy_> ill remove streamer and see what happens
[06:27] <Catoptromancy_> ill guess ill have to look for xine compatible ones then
[06:29] <Catoptromancy_> mp3s are broken
[06:29] <Catoptromancy_> wmv works
[06:30] <Catoptromancy_> Mp3 loads into xfmedia, looks like its going to work
[06:30] <TheSheep> Catoptromancy_: installr libxine-extracodecs
[06:30] <Catoptromancy_> but it should auto play, and when I click
[06:30] <Catoptromancy_> Unable to play file.
[06:30] <Catoptromancy_> Xfmedia was unable to play the selected file.  Be sure that the file exists and that you have permission to access it.
[06:30] <Catoptromancy_> heh ok
[06:31] <Catoptromancy_> TheSheep, seems I already have that
[06:31] <Catoptromancy_>  libxine-extracodecs
[06:31] <Catoptromancy_> err
[06:31] <Catoptromancy_> No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
[06:39] <Grey_Loki> Is there a way to somehow 'link' network interfaces? I'm trying to set up a game of Age of Empires II (via wine), but it sees my IP as 127.0.1.1, which I think might be 'lo', rather than 'rausb1'.
[06:43] <Grey_Loki> !test
[06:43] <ubotu> failed
[06:43] <Grey_Loki> :(
[06:44] <Catoptromancy_> !test

[06:45] <mIgUeL_sAn> how to used the terminal in xubuntu
[06:45] <Catoptromancy_> what do you want to do?
[06:46] <mIgUeL_sAn> anyone pls.......
[06:46] <Catoptromancy_> what do you want to do?
[06:47] <Grey_Loki> Anyone got any thoughts on my question above? I was thinking about creating something like a 'symlink'? I'm not sure exactly what they are, though...
[06:47] <Grey_Loki> newbie
[06:47] <TheSheep> Grey_Loki: that's not really possible, I don't think, but wine should see the interfaces...
[06:47] <Grey_Loki> Oops - wrong window
[06:47] <mIgUeL_sAn> id like to use ssh
[06:48] <TheSheep> mIgUeL_sAn: open a terminal and type 'ssh user@host'
[06:48] <Grey_Loki> TheSheep, hmm. AoEII has a little 'IP' button you can click to get your local network address, and it reads 127.0.1.1. I thought that might mean that it's trying to use 127.0.1.1 as its own IP, and causing problems when I try to connect to a server hosted on a windows box (which I know works)
[06:50] <mIgUeL_sAn> TheSheep: im opening the terminal but it keeps comin back to login screen
[06:57] <Grey_Loki> mIgUeL_sAn, what do you mean by 'login screen'? The actual login screen you get when you first turn on your computer to log into Xubuntu?
[07:10] <DaBeowulf> 'lo. What could it be that after every new boot/session I seem to have lost a few megabytes of space on my xubuntu partition?
[07:11] <DaBeowulf> It's worrying me as it is very tiny to start with.
[07:12] <DaBeowulf> Well, not lost I guess but filled with something.
[07:12] <Pumpernickle> Logging and package caching could be the cause.
[07:12] <DaBeowulf> Is there a way to search for all files created/modified after a certain time?
[07:14] <DaBeowulf> And what is package caching? =o
[07:16] <Pumpernickle> Sure, or at least sort of.  You can use `find` to find files that have a last modified timestamp later than a given time.
[07:16] <Pumpernickle> As for package caching, by default anytime you install a new package, the .deb is cached on disk.
[07:17] <DaBeowulf> And old ones don't get automatically deleted?
[07:18] <Pumpernickle> No, you'd have to run `sudo apt-get clean` or manually remove them from /var/cache/apt/archives.
[07:19] <DaBeowulf> Thanks a lot.
[07:21] <DaBeowulf> I found the console makes it easy for people to find the basic commands btw. I didn't know the one to delete stuff was rm but when I could only boot in safe mode I found it out by trying stuff and it nudged me in the right direction. :)
