| Odd-rationale | umm.. is eth0 your wired device? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Usuario | hmmm, can't pastebin, cause no connection ... i don't know, but dhcp doesn't work, even tho the icon appears like there is a connection monitor icon not x'd out | 00:00 |
| Usuario | its etho cable, but when i tried manual config i had to select etho avahi to get ip address, but it did not match the ip addresses that i got from this other windows machine doing ipconfig | 00:01 |
| Odd-rationale | open up a terminal on the machine. make sure the wire is plugged in and run these to commands: | 00:02 |
| Odd-rationale | sudo dhclient -r eth0 | 00:02 |
| Odd-rationale | sudo dhclient eth0 | 00:02 |
| Usuario | you mean the windows machine or the ubuntu machine | 00:03 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: the ubuntu machine that you are trying to connect... | 00:03 |
| Usuario | ok, brb | 00:03 |
| Usuario | ok, what should i be looking for in the output | 00:07 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: try to "ping -c 3 google.com" | 00:09 |
| Usuario | in terminal type that | 00:09 |
| Usuario | sorry i don't know where question mark is on this spanish keyboard, nothing matches, ezackly | 00:09 |
| Odd-rationale | you should be looking for something like"bound to 192.168.1.101 -- renewal in 299133 seconds." in the output | 00:10 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: yes, ping in terminal | 00:10 |
| Usuario | i get invalid option 3 | 00:12 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: from dhclient? or ping? | 00:15 |
| Usuario | ping | 00:16 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: did you type it in exactly as i wrote? ping -c 3 google.com | 00:18 |
| Usuario | lemme try again | 00:19 |
| Usuario | is it 3google.com or 3 google.com does it make a difference | 00:22 |
| Usuario | unknown host google.com | 00:24 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: there is a space between 3 and google | 00:24 |
| Usuario | ya, i did it with the space | 00:24 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: or just see if you can browse the web... | 00:25 |
| Usuario | no, cannot yet | 00:25 |
| Usuario | we never discussed the output of the dhclient command you gave me | 00:26 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: hmm. did the sudo dhclient eth1 give any errors? | 00:28 |
| Odd-rationale | eth0 | 00:28 |
| Odd-rationale | well, you should get something like "bound to 192.168.1.101 -- renewal in 299133 seconds." in the output | 00:28 |
| Usuario | the last two lines are no DHCPOFFERS received, and no working leases in persistant databases ... sleeping | 00:28 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: do you know whether the server is running a dhcp server? or no? | 00:29 |
| Usuario | i don't know and the owner doesn't either | 00:30 |
| Odd-rationale | well, then probably it doesn't... | 00:31 |
| Usuario | but i can't get an automatic connection, i do know that | 00:31 |
| Odd-rationale | you will have to setup the server and client for a static ip address... | 00:31 |
| Usuario | i did an ipconfig in the windows terminal on this machine and tried manually inserting that output via static ip entry boxes, but no connection either | 00:31 |
| * Usuario is lost | 00:33 | |
| pierrereimertz | Anyone here who can help a beginner? | 00:34 |
| Usuario | pierrereimertz: whassup, from one beginner to another | 00:35 |

| pierrereimertz | im fine, thank you. :) | 00:35 |

| === Odd-rationale_ is now known as Odd-rationale | ||
| Usuario | ok, hope someone else is listening cuz that one is out of my scope... | 00:36 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: sorry, i lost connection... | 00:36 |
| pierrereimertz | with kernel 2.6.25 | 00:36 |
| pierrereimertz | (ok, Usuario :) ) | 00:36 |
| pierrereimertz | But it seems that the kernel dosen't have hfs+ support | 00:37 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: as i was saying, you either need to setup a static ip, or setup a dhcp server... | 00:37 |
| Usuario | okis, don't know if you saw that i said i had done an ipconfig in the windows terminal on this machine, and i tried those numbers in the network config for static ip on the ubuntu box, but no function there either | 00:37 |
| Usuario | what do you suggest i do next then | 00:38 |
| pierrereimertz | (Odd-rationale, if your a linux expert, is it ok if i ask you a question after your done with Usuario?) | 00:38 |
| Odd-rationale | pierrereimertz: no, because i am not a linux expert... :( | 00:38 |
| pierrereimertz | hehe, ok | 00:38 |
| Odd-rationale | pierrereimertz: ask anyways, there are plenty of people in the channel... | 00:39 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: where is the other end of the wire plugged into? a router? | 00:39 |
| Usuario | yes, i say hesitantly | 00:40 |
| Usuario | carlos rebooted the routers today to get these windows machines back up, and mine is the last one in the string as far as i know | 00:40 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: i haven't had much experience with the server side of networking... | 00:41 |
| Odd-rationale | plus the server is on windows? | 00:41 |
| Usuario | yes | 00:42 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: i afraid i can't help much further... the best thing you can do is find out how to configure dhcp on ther server... | 00:43 |
| Usuario | omg, i lost now | 00:44 |
| Odd-rationale | or find out whether or not it runs dhcp... | 00:44 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: it helps to know the network configuration... :) | 00:44 |
| Usuario | ok, is that something you could tell me where to find on his computer, which is the server | 00:45 |
| Odd-rationale | well, i never setup a dhcp server in windows... | 00:47 |
| Odd-rationale | in fact, i didn't know what dhcp was when i was using windows... ;) | 00:47 |
| pierrereimertz | Problem; Cant get my HFS + (not journaled) External drive to connect with my PS3. Im running Xubuntu 7.10 with kernel 2.6.25 (may be a custom one that i found psubuntu.com). I can se both partitions on the desktop but when i try to open them it says "hfpsplus not supported" . | 00:47 |
| Usuario | ok, well thanks for all your help anyways, i will ask around the restaurant and see if anyone knows about server side | 00:48 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: sorry i couldn't help more.. | 00:48 |
| Odd-rationale | pierrereimertz: can you not use another file system? | 00:49 |
| pierrereimertz | no | 00:49 |
| Usuario | np, you always try i think this is first time we stumped | 00:49 |
| Odd-rationale | Usuario: i don't remember what we worked on last... ;) | 00:50 |
| pierrereimertz | i have a external drive with hfs+ on the partitions.. xubuntu wont mount them | 00:50 |
| Odd-rationale | pierrereimertz: is hfs supported on ubuntu? | 00:50 |
| Usuario | anybody else know how i might proceed with this connection problem, linking an ubuntu box to a wired windows network | 00:50 |
| pierrereimertz | yeah | 00:50 |
| pierrereimertz | i think so, on standard kernels | 00:50 |
| pierrereimertz | but i have a special one because i sit on a ps3 | 00:51 |
| pierrereimertz | does anyone know how to upgrade a kernel? | 00:54 |
| pierrereimertz | i really wonder if its just something in the xubuntu | 00:54 |

| chowder | I have a question. Is it just me or does every version of Ubuntu have some "gnomish" element to it? | 06:36 |
| chowder | I'm using Xubuntu right now and I've noticed the similar feel it has to Gnome | 06:37 |
| RoughriderUT | How much hard drive space would an xubuntu install take up? | 06:39 |
| chowder | RoughriderUT: about 2GB | 06:41 |
| chowder | RoughriderUT: I literally jsut installed it | 06:41 |
| chowder | It's always best to strip it down, though | 06:42 |
| chowder | use dpkg --get-selections to see all the packages installed on the system | 06:42 |
| chowder | or dpkg --get-selections | grep x11 and it will find all packages installed that have "x11" in the name | 06:43 |
| chowder | and look up the packages at packages.ubuntu.com to decide what you want to keep | 06:44 |
| chowder | hope that helps ;) | 06:44 |
| RoughriderUT | Thanks, just having a conversation on another net, and a friend wants a minimal install of linux, thought xubuntu might work for what he needs | 06:44 |
| chowder | a minimal install is tough | 06:44 |
| RoughriderUT | Yea, figured that... he might have to go with another small distro. | 06:45 |
| chowder | he could get an Ubuntu minimal cd image, do a CLI install from the Ubuntu alternate CD, or build his custom *buntu from within an existing Debian based install | 06:46 |
| chowder | the first 2 are easier but the last one gives you more control | 06:46 |
| RoughriderUT | yea... he might go for the install minus the desktop... | 06:47 |
| RoughriderUT | basically he wants ftp, http, and samba | 06:47 |
| zoredache_ | start with ubuntu server, or a 'cli' install using the alternatecd | 06:47 |
| imjscn | there's a Damn Mini Linux | 06:48 |
| === zoredache_ is now known as zoredache | ||
| RoughriderUT | Thought of that also | 06:48 |
| chowder | I find that the Debian kernel is more stable | 06:49 |
| chowder | I'm currently working on a custom Ubuntu build with fluxbox | 06:49 |
| chowder | which is why I want to try fluxbuntu | 06:49 |
| imjscn | I installed VM, it's as fast as real, great satisfaction | 06:51 |
| chowder | vm? | 06:53 |
| imjscn | virtual machine | 06:53 |
| imjscn | I use vmware | 06:53 |
| imjscn | xubuntu host, winxp guest | 06:53 |
| chowder | i'm not fond of virtual machines | 06:54 |
| imjscn | I'm thinking of install another VM, install the Damn Mini Linux in the VM, just for movies and music | 06:54 |
| chowder | I used virtualbox | 06:54 |
| RoughriderUT | Thanks for the info... later | 06:54 |
| chowder | np | 06:54 |
| imjscn | how is it working? | 06:54 |
| chowder | just fine | 06:55 |
| imjscn | great | 06:55 |
| chowder | I only use it to test liveCDs | 06:55 |
| imjscn | I see, I need VM to run my windows softwares | 06:55 |
| chowder | I made a version of XP that's about 200MB smaller than a full XP install and it works on virtual box | 06:55 |
| imjscn | I use mini XP too :) | 06:56 |

| Xub_HDD_not_dete | Hi everyone... I have a problem with Xubuntu 8.04 at the moment.... trying it from a Live CD, my SATA HDD isn't detected :-( | 06:57 |
| imjscn | yes, we'll just have to wait Linux become a nomral life style, then, we can get everything ready for Linux | 06:57 |
| Xub_HDD_not_dete | I've searched the ubuntuforum etc but so far haven't found any info that has helped. | 06:58 |
| chowder | Xub_HDD_not_dete: post errors via pastebin.com | 06:58 |
| Xub_HDD_not_dete | chowder: Ok... I'm not sure what you meant by that ... | 06:59 |
| chowder | Xub_HDD_not_dete: also which CD did you use? | 06:59 |
| Xub_HDD_not_dete | chowder: Xubuntu 8.04 desktop iso | 06:59 |
| chowder | pastebin is a site that allows you to post text too large to de displayed on IRC (spambots, etc.) | 06:59 |
| Xub_HDD_not_dete | chowder: Oh, ok, thanks.... then once I've pasted up there do I post the link to it here? | 07:00 |
| chowder | you got it :) | 07:00 |
| Xub_HDD_not_dete | chowder: And how do I find the boot log(s) etc within Xubuntu? | 07:00 |
| chowder | aah, desktop. Maybe the alternate install CD is different? Also try googling for your model of Hard drive with Ubuntu in quotes like this: my hard drive "ubuntu" | 07:01 |
| chowder | Xub_HDD_not_dete: I'm not sure of | 07:01 |

| rockyrock | hi guys | 10:32 |
| rockyrock | i have a problem with Virtual Box | 10:32 |
| rockyrock | i downloaded this version from SUN website and installed it: VirtualBox-1.6.0-Linux_x86.run | 10:33 |
| rockyrock | when i installed it, it says that it was installed successfully, but when i try to run the program , nothing happens! | 10:34 |
| rockyrock | it doesn't work | 10:34 |
| rockyrock | I have xubuntu 8.04 | 10:35 |
| rockyrock | so what is the problem??? is it with the version i have?? | 10:35 |
| rockyrock | should i download the Ubuntu version or the Linux version that i have? | 10:35 |
| rockyrock | guys, why can't i Past something on the Desktop????????? | 10:44 |
| rockyrock | the "Paste" icon doens't appear! | 10:45 |
| arf` | rockyrock: take the ubutu version. A .deb package is always better than anything else :) | 10:46 |
| arf` | rockyrock: but you probably have to cleanly uninstall the .run before to install the .deb | 10:47 |
| rockyrock | will "any" .deb package run for sure???? | 10:47 |
| rockyrock | yes please how can i uninstall it?? | 10:48 |
| arf` | rockyrock: I don't know, it's explained in the virtualbox documentation for sure | 10:48 |
| arf` | rockyrock: to install the .deb, just run "sudo dpkg -i thepackage.deb" | 10:49 |
| rockyrock | thnx | 10:49 |
| arf` | rockyrock: there is 2 ubuntu 8.04 version, the x86 and the AMD64 | 10:50 |
| arf` | rockyrock: take the one corresponding to your processor | 10:51 |
| rockyrock | if i have a X86 version can i install it on a AMD64 pro?? cuz the 64 bit processor will run the 32bit versions, right? | 10:52 |
| arf` | yeah | 10:52 |
| arf` | ok, so the one corresponding to the architecture of your installed xubuntu rather than the architecture of your CPU :) | 10:53 |
| rockyrock | :] | 10:54 |
| rockyrock | what about the Paste problem, do u know why it doesn't appear when trying to Paste on the Desktop??? | 10:54 |
| rockyrock | is it something with XFCE? | 10:55 |
| arf` | perhaps, anyway it works with ctrl-c/ctrl-v | 10:56 |
| arf` | to copy from/in a console, it's shift+control-c/v | 10:56 |
| rockyrock | i'm sorry it doesn't work with me! | 10:57 |
| arf` | you have to install the guest additions in your guest | 10:57 |
| rockyrock | what are the guest additions!!!! | 10:58 |
| arf` | if you go in the guest window menu "device" at the bottom there is a "install guest addition" | 10:58 |
| arf` | it will launch a CD on the guest, and on this CD you can see a .exe to install the additions on a windows system, or a .run to install on a linux system | 10:59 |
| arf` | rockyrock: probably you better to read the doc of the app you're using, in order to well understand what you're doing, and to take advantage of the power of your apps... | 11:00 |
| rockyrock | oky thnx | 11:02 |

| Theo_ | hello | 14:54 |
| Theo_ | Can I install xubuntu 6.10 ppc on an ibook g3 and then upgrade to 8.04? | 14:54 |
| charlie-tca | Theo_: you can't do a direct upgrade to 8.04 from 6.10. If your ppc has the newer intel chip, why not install 8.04 directly? | 15:13 |
| Theo_ | i would rather use xubuntu | 15:14 |
| Theo_ | because it ibook has 500MHz and 384MB RAM | 15:14 |
| Theo_ | i think that xubuntu would have better performance | 15:14 |
| charlie-tca | Okay, but unless you have the intel chip, you won't be able to install Xubuntu 8.04 | 15:15 |
| Theo_ | oh | 15:15 |
| Theo_ | so the only xubuntu available for ppc is 6.10? | 15:16 |
| charlie-tca | You can install 6.06, which is supported until June 2009 | 15:16 |
| charlie-tca | That is the previous Long Term Support version that was replaced by 8.04 | 15:16 |
| Theo_ | if i get ubuntu 8.04 ppc and do sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop could that be an alternative? | 15:27 |
| Theo_ | would it be like ubuntu but faster? | 15:27 |
| charlie-tca | I think that would work, but I don't really know if xubuntu-desktop will install. I do install that way at times on my systems, because | 15:29 |
| charlie-tca | ubuntu's installer seems faster for some versions. | 15:29 |
| charlie-tca | I'm looking to see if Xfce supports the ilink now. | 15:29 |
| charlie-tca | no, I meant ibook | 15:30 |
| Theo_ | what do you think i should do? get and use xubuntu 6.10 ppc? or just use ubuntu 8.04 ppc? | 15:30 |
| Theo_ | i want something that is fast and light because the ibook is quite old and slow | 15:31 |
| charlie-tca | I would use Xubuntu 6.06 if you really want xubuntu. It is out now in 6.06.01, and is a good version | 15:32 |
| Theo_ | i wanted something fast and light | 15:34 |
| Theo_ | i used xubuntu on a really old hp and it worked great | 15:34 |
| Theo_ | do you think that xubuntu will run much faster than ubuntu? | 15:34 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu 6.06 is fast and light. It is older, but will have updates for another year. | 15:34 |
| charlie-tca | Xubuntu 6.10 become unsupported as of April of this year. | 15:35 |
| charlie-tca | It reached the end of it's cycle | 15:36 |
| Theo_ | i meant 6.6 then | 15:36 |
| Theo_ | do you think i should download the alternate or the desktop cd? | 15:37 |
| charlie-tca | Oh, okay. I still have one system I need to upgrade from 6.06 here. It works great for me, | 15:37 |
| charlie-tca | download the ppc version from http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs-Xubuntu/6.06.1/release.1/ or another mirror | 15:38 |
| Theo_ | yeah, i was looking there | 15:38 |
| charlie-tca | Sorry, I always use the alternate cd myself | 15:38 |
| charlie-tca | It seems to work better for me | 15:38 |
| Theo_ | hmm | 15:38 |
| Theo_ | its much faster | 15:39 |
| charlie-tca | Yes, I agree | 15:39 |
| Theo_ | do you think it would be slow on 384mb? | 15:39 |
| charlie-tca | I only have 256 on the system using it | 15:39 |
| Theo_ | what i mean is, do you think the desktop cd will be slow booting on 384mb | 15:39 |
| charlie-tca | It's a little slow, but faster than Ubuntu | 15:40 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know about the desktop cd | 15:40 |
| Theo_ | i will just get both and try both | 15:40 |
| Theo_ | i bought the ibook for $150 on ebay and an 120gb hdd i can'y t wait to try it! | 15:41 |
| charlie-tca | Sounds like a good deal. Good luck with it, and don't forget, the help wiki and the forums are good for answers, too | 15:42 |
| Theo_ | thanks | 15:43 |
| charlie-tca | Hope it helped | 15:43 |
| Theo_ | yeah, i understand it better now | 15:44 |
| * charlie-tca :) | 15:44 | |
| Theo_ | when it arrives i will see how it goes with dualbooting mac 10.3 | 15:44 |
| charlie-tca | That should work, too | 15:45 |
| Theo_ | i had to illegally download mac 10.3 because it doesn't come with it! | 15:45 |
| Theo_ | i mean it doesnt come with the cds | 15:45 |
| Theo_ | do you know if backtrack is in ppc? (slax) | 15:45 |
| charlie-tca | I don't | 15:46 |
| Theo_ | anyway if slax is only intel i can get aircrack-ng for getting into wifi networks | 15:48 |
| Theo_ | bye bye | 15:51 |
| charlie-tca | bye and good luck | 15:52 |

| abracadabra | what are de non generally surposes? | 17:43 |

| Freddy2 | hi | 21:44 |
| zoredache | hello | 21:45 |
| Freddy2 | after checking the package list i've seen a lot of xserver-xorg-video-* (ati, i810,..), and when marking any of them for being removed (i only need the mga one) all them pretend to remove also xserver-xorg-video-all | 21:46 |
| Freddy2 | should i really remove this package? | 21:46 |
| zoredache | I believe you can remove it, yes. May I ask why you are trying? | 21:47 |
| zoredache | unless you are trying to fit on a really small drive it seems like it would be a wasted effort | 21:47 |
| Freddy2 | i was simply trying to remove unused packages.. but the drive is medium sized | 21:48 |
| Freddy2 | there's no true space problem there | 21:48 |
| zoredache | If it was me, then I wouldn't do it. Removing packages imply to recover drive space doesn't make much sense if you have free space | 21:50 |
| zoredache | plus, what happens in six months when you swap video cards, or what to put this drive into another computer? | 21:51 |
| Freddy2 | i doubt that.. this is my slave computer, it's managed remotely, and is only dedicated to manage downloads and this kind of stuff | 21:52 |
| thinkmassive | isn't xserver-xorg-video-all just a blanket package that automatically includes all the video drivers? | 21:56 |
| thinkmassive | I don't see why you couldn't just keep the one that you need | 21:56 |
| zoredache | thinkmassive: it is... I am just arguing against removing too much of what you think you don't need | 21:57 |
| zoredache | that and spending lots of time trying to figure out if you can delete things that aren't doing anything other then taking up a small portion of your drive | 21:57 |
| Freddy2 | that's the idea.. i've seen a lot of different xservers, and i only need one.. in fact sometimes i use vnc, so i don't know if even the matrox one is currently needed.. but this one can be left, maybe someday i have to plug the monitor again xD | 21:57 |
| zoredache | Personally I would spend more time on trying to remove any un-needed services from being loaded | 21:58 |
| Freddy2 | right now my services list looks fine, i think | 22:00 |
| zoredache | so the question is, if this is just for downloads, could you drop the gui completely and use the cli tools? You would free up a lot of disk space with no gui | 22:01 |
| MacGyverNL | The USB mouse on this Xubuntu is still *way* too fast even on the slowest setting. | 22:01 |
| Freddy2 | i can't live without azureus :) | 22:01 |
| MacGyverNL | How can I change it to go even slower? | 22:01 |
| Freddy2 | still have too many anime series waiting to be downloaded xD | 22:02 |
| zoredache | bittornado running inside gnu screen has always been enough for me | 22:02 |
| Freddy2 | i could also use text-only programs for web and irc downloads, but i prefer the graphical versions | 22:04 |
| Yud_Zroc | good evening everyone | 22:17 |
| Myrtti | nini | 22:17 |
| Yud_Zroc | i have a dilema does the xubuntu package come with a tool to help configure diaup | 22:18 |
| zoredache | I know wvdial is installed, but I am not sure what or if there is a gui to control it | 22:20 |
| Yud_Zroc | gui idc about | 22:20 |
| Yud_Zroc | i prefer terminal | 22:20 |
| Yud_Zroc | tyvm for ur help | 22:21 |
| thinkmassive | Yud_Zroc: what have you tried so far? | 22:28 |
| thinkmassive | are you using a usb modem that works on the cell network or an old analog modem? | 22:28 |
| Yud_Zroc | pci | 22:29 |
| Yud_Zroc | and it is detected in the lpc | 22:29 |
| thinkmassive | oh ok, have you tried "man wvdial.conf" ? | 22:29 |
| Yud_Zroc | but i think it may be the config...i prolly didnt do it right | 22:29 |
| thinkmassive | are you trying to use wvdial? | 22:30 |
| Yud_Zroc | i am going to....its for my gf.... | 22:31 |
| Yud_Zroc | i was using the network config thingy before and it dont work toowell | 22:31 |
| thinkmassive | I can't tell you what settings to use for your modem, but I think you can configure it all through wvdial.conf | 22:31 |
| thinkmassive | this looks like it might help you: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=480717 | 22:33 |
