[00:00] hi all, does anyone know why DNS /etc/resolv.conf automatically changes? [00:00] turtle^s0up: Maybe you're running KNetworkManager [00:00] turtle^s0up: Or using dhcp? [00:00] wicd [00:01] how can i tell if i'm using dhcp [00:01] robinr: You mean with ndiswrapper? [00:01] it's just defautl install [00:01] no ndiswrapper [00:01] turtle^s0up: I'm using b43-module I didn't need install anything. [00:01] just wicd, because i had a wireless card with preconfigured open source drivers [00:02] turtle^s0up: Sorry, I dunno about wicd. [00:02] right now wired connection, no wireless [00:02] but /etc/resolv.conf automatically changes [00:02] turtle^s0up: iirc networkmanager and maybe even wicd don't necessarily use those settings files [00:02] even if i add my own DNS [00:02] turtle^s0up: No idea but isn't there any comment in /etc/resolv.conf like "configured by..."? [00:02] nope [00:02] just goes back to my ISP dns [00:03] or points to the modem IP [00:03] Sound like its caused by dhcp. [00:03] turtle^s0up: did you enter IP-address manually? [00:03] yes [00:04] i have static ips [00:04] If you're sure you don't use NetworkManager, then doublecheck /etc/networks/interface [00:04] i can remove wicd if you think that's an issue [00:04] Ok, if you have static ip, then I dunno why resolv.conf is being changed. (in my case it happened because of NetworkManager). === Nev3rM0re is now known as Rav3nSw0rd [00:06] OK, thanks. [00:06] No probs. [00:06] Well I'm leaving. Good night.

Hate to say it, but I think that's one of the things I'd point you to google and / or the samba sight for. [03:00] Yes, Samba will share with Windows, even Vista or 7, but you really want it configured properly.

[03:18] new user to ubuntu here [03:19] I used smb.conf. The gui may be a better way to do things if you're new to Linux/samba [03:19] I spent a bit of time on the manual / how to pages to see how to get things the way I wanted.

[11:35] Though I need said 'processor intensive' tasks, in my case I need to use a VM for programming [11:35] i compiled a static library using my sytem, running a x64 version of nix. would this file still link and work fine on a x32 version of nix?

Skype works on all 3 but its not opensource, and it also sucks :P [15:33] is that the same way [15:33] ßß [15:33] why does it suck ancientgoat? [15:33] timo: You have to use a different client for windows live messenger [15:33] witch client [15:33] ?? [15:33] on kubuntu, kopete will work [15:33] it should already be installed [15:34] just add an account, select hotmail/windows live, and enter your details [15:34] BeatRit: Their protocols, their policies.. [15:34] terran4000: windows live messenger and linux not compatible???? [15:35] I mean, in usability terms, its better than ekiga ofc. [15:35] timo: no, That's why it's called "Windows" messenger [15:35] timo: you can still use it though [15:35] just not that specific client [15:35] ok [15:35] timo: if you want to chat on the windows messanger network, I would suggest you use Kopete (the default KDE chat client) or Pidgin [15:35] !Kopete [15:35] Instant Messenger Client Kopete (http://kopete.kde.org) supports MSN, Jabber, AIM, YIM, Gadu-Gadu, Novell Groupwise, ICQ and, in KDE 3, IRC. See also !Pidgin [15:46] fuck it, there should be an FOSS VoIP Crossplatform :@ [15:49] yeah, BeatRit [15:49] the us can ask skype to tap ur calls [15:49] let me know if you found one - plus one that works on smartphones [15:49] they cant ask it if it would be foss right?
