[17:01] <Dizzyd87> hello!
[20:42] <WiL_> Hello
[20:43] <WiL_> I can not connect to the net with my ubuntu 9.10 and this is my first time using ubuntu.
[20:44] <Doorman352> Iḿ no expert, but Iĺl try and help you.
[20:44] <Doorman352> What kind of system is it?
[20:45] <WiL_> what do you mean system? Sorry.
[20:45] <Doorman352> Is it a stor bought computer or did you build it yourself?
[20:46] <WiL_> store bought,
[20:46] <Doorman352> what brand?
[20:46] <WiL_> advent
[20:46] <Doorman352> no insult intended, but did it come with a network card?
[20:47] <WiL_> yesterday I downloaded and installed linux side by side with windows ... thn rebooted the system to get into linux ...it all went without a hitch.
[20:47] <WiL_> yes, it has a netcard.
[20:47] <Doorman352> OK, so it works in wiindows, just not in linux
[20:47] <Doorman352> my typing is bad today, sorry
[20:47] <WiL_> wireless net also.
[20:48] <Doorman352> which are you trying to use the wireless or the wired?
[20:48] <WiL_> correct and before it worked in linux until today. When i just opened it.
[20:48] <WiL_> wireless
[20:49] <Doorman352> ok, on the top of the screen is the menu bar, click system, administration, network tools - weĺl go through what your system thinks is going on.
[20:50] <Doorman352> let me know when you are with me.
[20:51] <WiL_> ok this means I will have to log out of windows and try it now.
[20:51] <Doorman352> ah... duh you are using windows now....
[20:51] <WiL_> yes
[20:51] <WiL_> sorry
[20:52] <WiL_> didn't explain it all the way through.
[20:52] <Doorman352> <--- Is a little slow today - too much candy
[20:53] <WiL_> I just read on the ubuntu site that someone changed his root pass and then created a log in and then it worked for them.
[20:53] <Doorman352> ok, Ubuntu may be using the wired card instead of the wireless. When you get back to your ubuntu desktop up on the top bar near the time/date you should see a network icon.
[20:53] <WiL_> I am still in root o I guess i need to get out of that ?
[20:54] <WiL_> nope no net icon i have been trying to look through the system to find it but had no clue where to find it.
[20:54] <Doorman352> Using root is sort of a bad thing, you should get used to using sudo to impersonate root as needed...
[20:54] <Doorman352> system, admin, net tools
[20:54] <WiL_> the first time saw that wireless net that should my power meter of how strong the signal was and then it was gone today.
[20:55] <Doorman352> when you have more than one network card, the system can decide on which is primary and secondary and they may just be flipped.
[20:55] <WiL_> crap.
[20:56] <WiL_> thats a bummer then being i am new at this ...
[20:56] <Doorman352> no, Ie only been doing ubuntu for a few months and nothing is that bad, there are many who have been there and back before you.
[20:57] <WiL_> yes true
[20:57] <WiL_> hehe.
[20:57] <Doorman352> my first conversion from windows - ubuntu was not pleasant until I rebooted a second time and then everything worked....
[20:57] <WiL_> wow.
[20:58] <Doorman352> spent 4 hours trying to fix things, that weren broken, just not started....
[20:58] <WiL_> well i have windows  and ubuntu on my computer...so far.
[20:58] <Doorman352> other than my gaming adiction I try to use ubuntu for everything and liek it.
[20:58] <WiL_> yes and when i get the net up i have question about downloading but that will have to be for later ;)
[20:58] <WiL_> yeah I am a gamer also.
[20:59] <Doorman352> do you have a firewall/router?
[20:59] <WiL_> yes both
[21:00] <Doorman352> any chance you setup security on them to block computers you didn specify? You would know if you set that up...
[21:00] <WiL_> nope, I didn't set that up.
[21:00] <Doorman352> good, one less thing
[21:01] <WiL_> most of it is automatic....basic stuff like block or not to block :)
[21:01] <Doorman352> ok, then try this and come back.
[21:02] <WiL_> will do .
[21:02] <WiL_> thanks btw.
[21:02] <Doorman352> In Ubuntu click Applications - Accessories - Terminal and type ifconfig, just like windows ipconfig, just spelled different. It should list all your network interfaces and you should see both your cards and a lo (local) port. If not then we have a hardware/device issue in Ubuntu.
[21:03] <Doorman352> If they both show up, try temp plugging your wired connection into the router direct and see if evrything works...
[21:04] <Doorman352> Youŕe welcome
[21:49] <WiLiAM> Hey Doorman352
[21:49] <WiLiAM> it is me WiL_
[21:50] <Doorman352> so it works?
[21:50] <WiLiAM> nope
[21:50] <Doorman352> shucks, what did you learn?
[21:50] <WiLiAM> but i found something out it works in guest log in
[21:51] <WiLiAM> which is what I am in now.
[21:51] <WiLiAM> but under my name which the computer is in it does not work or connect to the internet.
[21:52] <Doorman352> ok, so it sound like your user account might be the culprit.... not my strength either, but if your game we can see if we can tweak it..
[21:52] <WiLiAM> sure ... i was wondering how do i create anthore log in so I am not using the main account.
[21:53] <Doorman352> System - Admin - Users and Groups
[21:54] <WiLiAM> ah ha it shows I am not in root when i log in it shows another account which I log in to with my name so maybe that is the one messed up.
[21:55] <Doorman352> could be, permissions are much more granualr and particular than windows
[21:56] <WiLiAM> ok so then how do I go about switching to root so I can create another account ...I thought I was in root the whole time but I was not which is good for me if you know what I mean.
[21:56] <Doorman352> you probably wont be able to add a new user as guest, but you can as root. So build another account and give it system admin priveledges and then you should be able to do everything short of root.
[21:57] <WiLiAM> so root is God basically?
[21:57] <Doorman352> There is a command to do that, I don remeber it. So log out and log back in.... itś ugly but works
[21:57] <WiLiAM> haha yes i will give it a try be back in a jiff.
[21:57] <WiLiAM> hopefully. ;)
[21:57] <Doorman352> no prob
[22:16] <qwebirc95296> doorman352 it is me WiL_
[22:16] <Doorman352> ok.... did it work?
[22:16] <qwebirc95296> ok I could not figure out how to get into the root from guest or my old log in-
[22:17] <Doorman352> did you use username root and the root password?
[22:18] <qwebirc95296> no hehe on the log in screen I only get 2 choices my name or something called (other) .
[22:18] <qwebirc95296> I will see if i can find where to put root.
[22:19] <qwebirc95296> ok truthfully I have no clue what the root password it hopefullyit is the same as all the othe ones.
[22:19] <Doorman352> if not you are SOL....the system really protects the root, but you can always reload ubuntu
[22:20] <qwebirc95296> yep
[22:20] <Doorman352> 15 mins is nothing comapred to windows 4+ hours
[22:20] <qwebirc95296> going back in to find where to switch to root be back .
[22:20] <Doorman352> i gotta learn to type/spell
[22:20] <qwebirc95296> haha no worries.
[22:37] <WiL_> Doorman352 no such luck...
[22:38] <Doorman352> %$@#%
[22:38] <Doorman352> You on the ubuntu box now?
[22:38] <WiL_> ok so how do I uninstall ubuntu?
[22:38] <WiL_> I am on ubuntu now yes
[22:38] <Doorman352> try this first...
[22:39] <Doorman352> click on apps - Accessories- terminal
[22:39] <WiL_> ok i am logged in guest at the moment.
[22:40] <Doorman352> no prob
[22:40] <WiL_> ok
[22:40] <Doorman352> type su, then put in your root password....
[22:41] <WiL_> huston we have a problem
[22:42] <WiL_> I donùt remember pass and i can not recall setting one up.
[22:42] <WiL_> do not§
[22:42] <Doorman352> OK.... it should have been the password for the first account you setup...
[22:42] <JonyBlaze> sudo su
[22:42] <JonyBlaze> ?
[22:43] <Doorman352> duh..... I should have known
[22:43] <Doorman352> His primary user account can use the network connections, but his guest account can.
[22:44] <Doorman352> can
[22:44] <Doorman352> cant
[22:44] <Doorman352> and i cant type
[22:45] <WiL_> no door...it is the opposit ... :)
[22:45] <Doorman352> <--- Is dazed and confused - the 60s werent good to me
[22:45] <WiL_> haha
[22:46] <Doorman352> have you tried sudo su and the password?
[22:47] <WiL_> so try (sudo su) with out ()
[22:47] <Doorman352> sudo su
[22:47] <Doorman352> password
[22:47] <WiL_> one sec
[22:48] <WiL_> it says unable to chang to sudo op not permitted
[22:49] <Doorman352> I dont think guest can do certain tasks
[22:49] <WiL_> one sec
[22:50] <Doorman352> ok, if you have nothing invested in this ubuntu install, put the disk in and install it again, just tell it to load over the other like it wasnt there. In a few minutes it will ask you your name, passwords, etc and it should come right up as a fresh install.
[22:51] <WiL_> wait i did it i got to the sudo su some how.
[22:51] <Doorman352> cool
[22:52] <Doorman352> now dont close terminal, go to the user and groups again
[22:52] <WiL_> i typed in my name again and got into it on the other section
[22:52] <WiL_> I have to switch back over to my other user one sec...
[22:52] <Doorman352> are the users still greyed out?
[22:54] <WiL_> yep
[22:54] <WiL_> still...argh
[22:54] <WiL_> and i downloaded the program to my desk top on windows
[22:55] <WiL_> ubuntu that is ...it is a new fiture they added for 9.10
[22:55] <WiL_> where u can use it fro there and make the system half and half ..
[22:56] <Doorman352> no prob, you just restart windows and do it again like it never happened. Just when you get to the partition info select the same one from before.
[22:56] <WiL_> ok
[22:56] <Doorman352> I wish I was better at this..
[22:56] <WiL_> will do thanks for all your help Doorman352
[22:56] <Doorman352> you are welcome
[22:56] <WiL_> no worries we all have to learn some how
[22:56] <Doorman352> yep
[22:56] <WiL_> until the next time..
[23:08] <WiL_> Doorman352 hey back but on windows at the moment
[23:11] <WiL_> Doorman352 I am using the ubuntu installer for windows from the ubuntu site which does not give me the choice so far int he beginning of choosing root or its pass word but I get to choose my name and pass so far
[23:11] <Doorman352> ok, see that didnt hurt....much
[23:11] <Doorman352> that password will become root, I think
[23:12] <WiL_> no not at all I will play my fifa until it is done hehe.
[23:12] <WiL_> hopefully.
