[00:38] <Silver_Fox_> Goodbye
[01:10] <dude1> Dual installed Ubuntu 9.10 and Linux Mint 8 to new External HDD and having problems with GRUB not wanting to load Mint, any suggestions?
[01:15] <dude1> Dual installed Ubuntu 9.10 and Linux Mint 8 to new External HDD and having problems with GRUB not wanting to load Mint, any suggestions?
[01:19] <Hellow> Hmm.
[01:22] <dude1> something new Hellow?
[01:26] <dude1> An issue you've not come across?
[01:27] <Hellow> I've never much liked booting from external devices.
[01:27] <dude1> ok
[01:28] <dude1> Well GRUB2 comes up with the standard Ubuntu 9.10, Recovery Mode and Mem Test, with Linux Mint 8 Main Edition Helena Shown at bottom of GRUB Menu but will not allow me to boot to it
[01:28] <dude1> I select it and it gives me an error that no such device exists
[01:28] <dude1> then when I try to select Ubuntu , it gives me the same error
[01:29] <dude1> go to a shell prompt for GRUB, type exit and it allows me to boot Ubuntu
[01:29] <dude1> brb
[01:30] <dude1> Just something I'm toying with
[01:43]  * ZachK_ nods to the tram
[01:43] <ZachK_> *team I mean
[01:44] <DarkwingDuck> greetings
[01:44] <DarkwingDuck> paultag: ping
[01:44] <ZachK_> Hey DarkwingDuck
[01:45] <DarkwingDuck> how is life?
[01:45] <ZachK_> DarkwingDuck: Ok....and you?
[01:45] <DarkwingDuck> good... busy
[01:46] <ZachK_> DarkwingDuck: Ah...one minute and I'll look at your page
[01:46] <DarkwingDuck> thanks
[01:46] <DarkwingDuck> I'm slowing bulding content... just working with design.
[01:47] <mohi1> hey DarkwingDuck , ZachK_
[01:47] <DarkwingDuck> hey mohi1
[01:47] <mohi1> DarkwingDuck, sup?
[01:47] <mohi1> i have to leave now...
[01:47] <DarkwingDuck> trying to get the kubuntu docs finished
[01:48] <mohi1> cool and you are fully fit now??
[01:48] <mohi1> DarkwingDuck, ^
[01:49]  * ZachK_ annhilates mohi1 
[01:49] <mohi1> ZachK_, i ll get back later...
[01:50] <DarkwingDuck> Yup. Just transfered to a good job in Mississippi
[01:50] <DarkwingDuck> Actually, I'll be starting a LoCo out here.
[01:50] <mohi1> nice to hear :)
[01:50] <mohi1> anyways bye guys
[02:04] <dude1> Ok, back for some more help with my dual boot Ubuntu 9.10 and Linux Mint 8 from new USB HDD
[02:06] <ZachK_> Ok.....
[02:07] <dude1> I installed them both Ubuntu first, then Linux Mint 8, opting to not use the Linux Mint 8 bootloader and just let Ubuntu handle it
[02:07] <dude1> When I reboot and grub screen comes up it will not let me boot in to any of them
[02:08] <dude1> I enter "c" for command line which takes me to a grub shell and I can type exit and it will go to the grub menu again and allow me to boot in to Ubuntu
[02:08] <ZachK_> Hmmm.....
[02:09] <dude1> I have also noticed through the disk utility that Linux Mint 8 has a very strange mount point to it
[02:10] <dude1> file:///media/6841577c-eb9a-495c-bc0c-acf40df094f7
[02:11] <dude1> preceded by /dev/sda6
[02:12] <dude1> or I assume it to be strange, I'm a noob here
[02:14] <dude1> So I'm wondering if there is a workaround for this
[03:20] <ZachK_> Akos: please pm me
[03:20] <ZachK_> when you have time that is
[03:38] <ZachK_> wb celthundar
[03:38] <celthundar> hey
[03:38] <celthundar> sup
[03:38] <ZachK_> not much
[03:39] <ZachK_> researching possible pc to buy....figuring out one to get that will work with linux
[03:39] <DarkwingDuck> ZachK_: that list is actually quite large
[03:39] <DarkwingDuck> :P
[03:40] <DarkwingDuck> I would almost say the list that WONT work is quite small
[03:40] <ZachK_> DarkwingDuck: pm me with list then?
[03:40] <paultag> hi ZachK_
[03:40] <paultag> ZachK_, have you seen the HCL?
[03:40] <paultag> ZachK_, that's your list

[03:41] <ZachK_> ptag...link?
[03:41] <DarkwingDuck> http://www.ubuntuhcl.org/
[03:41] <paultag> ZachK_, I don't have one. Google around, they are from everyone. Fredora, Ubuntu, etc
[03:41] <DarkwingDuck> ZachK_: ^^^^
[03:41] <paultag> ZachK_, it's the kernel not a distro, so each distro may only have a small part of the whole list
[03:43] <DarkwingDuck> ZachK_: se if that works for ya
[03:43] <ZachK_> thanks DarkwingDuck...looking now
[04:04] <ZachK_> celthunder: you need voice man

[05:27] <tenach> Hello.
[05:27] <ZachK_> hey tenach
[05:27] <paultag> sorry ZachK_, I don't see anything without my name in it
[05:27] <ZachK_> paultag: it's cool
[05:27] <paultag> ZachK_, Nothing. Where have you been spending your time, you delinquent?
[05:28] <tenach> My sister-in-law wants me to put Ubuntu on her machine without getting rid of Windows 7 if possible.  Does anyone know of a good way to go about this?  I have only dual booted with XP.
[05:28] <ZachK_> tenach: one sec...will grab info
[05:28] <tenach> ZachK_, Thanks.
[05:28] <tenach> I'm googling, but for some reason tonight my Googliness doesn't seem to be working. :/
[05:30] <ZachK_> paultag: no pc means no access to ubuntu......finally got a way to do this via my ipod but it's tough....
[05:30] <paultag> aye.
[05:30] <ZachK_> paultag: and work...lot of that...question...gonna vote for me?
[05:30] <paultag> ZachK_, for what?
[05:31] <ZachK_> paultag: the fg lead....(wiki)
[05:31] <paultag> ZachK_, you are the only candidate.
[05:31] <ZachK_> paultag: yeah...people still gotta vote
[05:32] <ZachK_> doesn't mean i automatically get it...
[05:32] <paultag> ZachK_, you are not going to not get it
[05:32] <paultag> ZachK_, yeah it does. We can't have a FG without a Lead
[05:32] <ZachK_> paultag: ah...maybe....
[05:32] <ZachK_> true though paultag
[05:32] <paultag> ZachK_, but if you are super idle ( like you are / were ) I'll have to re-examine the structure of that focus group
[05:34] <ZachK_> paultag: i'm not idle anymore...and i was gone due to no access

[09:06] <talsemgeest> Silver_Fox_: Yup, Ive put in all my votes :)
[09:07] <talsemgeest> Silver_Fox_: All looking very slick, but the button changes will take a bit of getting used too
[09:07] <talsemgeest> Erm, *to
[09:07] <Silver_Fox_> Oh no not the votes.  Not really concerned about that.
[09:07] <Silver_Fox_> The comment on activity here.

[09:15] <ZachK_> welcome Phrea and pedro3005
[09:16] <pedro3005> hey ZachK_
[09:16] <ZachK_> pedro3005: how are ya?
[09:16] <pedro3005> ZachK_, good, getting ready for school
[09:16] <ZachK_> pedro3005: ah....nice
[09:16]  * ZachK_ is done with school..hehehe
[09:18] <pedro3005> coool
[09:20] <pedro3005> ZachK_, so how are you?
[09:21] <ZachK_> pedro3005: ok...looking for a good pc to buy that WILL work with my 'buntu
[09:21] <pedro3005> ZachK_, isn't too hard, is it?
[09:21] <ZachK_> pedro3005: trying not to be
[09:22] <ZachK_> want a dell for sure...or at the very least Asus or HP
[09:24] <pedro3005> ZachK_, mine is just various parts assembled
[09:25] <pedro3005> works good
[09:25] <talsemgeest> +1 on that, you generallly get better performance and value for money with a pc you build yourself
[09:26] <pedro3005> make sure you get nvidia for graphics card and you're cool
[09:26] <pedro3005> i have geforce 8800 and it works very well, recommended
[09:28] <talsemgeest> Hi SeVIIeN :)
[09:29] <SeVIIeN> Hellow talsemgeest
[09:30] <AcidBanger> Goodmorning everyone :)
[09:30] <pedro3005> hello AcidBanger, SeVIIeN
[09:30] <pedro3005> and talsemgeest
[09:30] <talsemgeest> Hehe, hey pedro3005 and AcidBanger :)
[09:31] <AcidBanger> I have a simple question I think, I need to configure an Ethernet port using the terminal how do I do that ???
[09:31] <SeVIIeN> hi pedro3005
[09:31] <SeVIIeN> nice friendly channel
[09:31] <SeVIIeN> plus I'm looking for some help, but I need to find the script I was working on first :P
[09:32] <talsemgeest> AcidBanger: How do you need to configure it? (I.E. what do you want to do?)
[09:32] <AcidBanger> I am setting up a ubuntu server so I need to give it a static IP in it's own range since it is gonna broadcast DHCP...
[09:33] <pedro3005> SeVIIeN, oh bash scripting is not with me :/ need to learn more about it.. currently learning C++
[09:33] <pedro3005> AcidBanger, you'd use ifconfig, /methinks
[09:34] <talsemgeest> AcidBanger: Ok, first you need to open up /etc/network/interfaces (something like sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces)
[09:34] <pedro3005> SeVIIeN, and getting beat up by it quite nicely, if you know what I mean ;)
[09:34] <AcidBanger> ok I did that :)
[09:35] <talsemgeest> AcidBanger: Ok, now you need to change one of the lines that has "dhcp" to "static"
[09:35] <SeVIIeN> pedro3005, lol, I can imagine, but it's well worth it
[09:35] <AcidBanger> I don't see DHCP anywhere :s
[09:35] <pedro3005> SeVIIeN, you know it?
[09:36] <SeVIIeN> pedro3005, oh no way
[09:36] <AcidBanger> There us no cable in the interface is it possible to even configure it then ?
[09:36] <talsemgeest> AcidBanger: Should be a line something like this: "iface eth0 inet dhcp"
[09:36] <SeVIIeN> bash is bashing me up
[09:36] <pedro3005> SeVIIeN, python is nice and easy
[09:37] <SeVIIeN> in fact, I would change the name of the sudo command
[09:37] <talsemgeest> AcidBanger: So the file is empty?
[09:37] <AcidBanger> auto lo
[09:37] <AcidBanger> iface lo inet loopback
[09:37] <SeVIIeN> some expletive would be nice
[09:37] <AcidBanger> Only 2 things I see
[09:38] <talsemgeest> AcidBanger: Ok, create a new line saying "iface eth0 inet static"
[09:38] <talsemgeest> AcidBanger: Then on a line under that type "address <IP address of the connection"
[09:38] <pedro3005> SeVIIeN, geirha is your bash person
[09:38] <talsemgeest> Something like "address 192.168.1.4"
[09:38] <AcidBanger> I think in my case I should configure eth1 since eth0 is gonna be my internet connection
[09:39] <talsemgeest> AcidBanger: Ok, that sounds good
[09:39] <AcidBanger> This is what I got so far
[09:39] <AcidBanger> auto lo
[09:39] <AcidBanger> iface lo inet loopback
[09:39] <AcidBanger> iface eth1 inet static
[09:39] <AcidBanger> adress 192.168.1.254
[09:40] <talsemgeest> AcidBanger: Ok, next line should be "netmask <netmask>"
[09:40] <talsemgeest> Something like "netmask 255.255.255.0"
[09:40] <talsemgeest> Then "network 192.168.1.0"
[09:41] <talsemgeest> "Broadcast 192.168.1.255"
[09:41] <talsemgeest> "gateway 192.168.1.1"
[09:41] <talsemgeest> Substituting in your own values of course :)
[09:42] <AcidBanger> Since it is a server should the gateway be the same as IP adress  ?
[09:43] <talsemgeest> AcidBanger: Hmm, probably. You may even be able to leave that line out entirely
[09:43] <AcidBanger> ok thank you :)
[09:44] <talsemgeest> AcidBanger: Anything else? I need to go sleep :)
[09:44] <AcidBanger> Next step is setting up a DHCP server but I guess I will read some more documentation :)
[09:45] <talsemgeest> AcidBanger: Yeah, I have never been able to get my dhcp server running so I cant be of much help there :)
[09:45] <talsemgeest> Ok then, night all :)
[09:45] <AcidBanger> This so far is great !
[09:45] <AcidBanger> Ty nn :)
[09:47] <pedro3005> AcidBanger, hm, maybe http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-and-configure-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-server.html ?
[09:47] <AcidBanger> Thanks Pedro gonna look into that I will let you know how it is going :)
[09:48] <pedro3005> AcidBanger, and I am going to school :P
[09:48] <pedro3005> good bye
[09:48] <AcidBanger> Bye bye
[09:48] <AcidBanger> Have fun at school :)

[10:47] <benny1> Hello! Can someone answer another of my newbie questions about installing Opera please? I am running ubuntu 9.10 on PS3. I have downloaded a file "
[10:47] <benny1> opera-10.10-4742.gcc4-shared-qt3.ppc
[10:47] <Silver_Fox_> What seems to be the problem benny1  :)
[10:48] <benny1>  oops sorry... anyway I have downloaded this and have no clue how to go about installing the opera browser, this just seems to be a folder rather than anything else. not sure what im doing wrong here...
[10:49] <Silver_Fox_> Did you not download the .deb from here?  http://www.opera.com/download/
[10:49] <benny1> yes
[10:49] <benny1>  i think I went for the debian version for power pc. as I didnt see a Ubuntu option
[10:51] <benny1> I'm probably approaching this all wrong, I was expecting something to open in synaptic or the software manager as in an installation executable. I've only installed software this way before!
[10:52] <Silver_Fox_> The deb isn't listed?  http://www.opera.com/browser/download/?custom=yes
[10:53] <Silver_Fox_> Is opera listed in the software center?  Applications ->  Ubuntu Software Center
[10:53]  * Silver_Fox_ isn't on Ubuntu at the moment so can't check ;)
[10:54] <benny1> when I go to the website opera/download/ it has a few options but doesnt mention Ubuntu, It seems to default to CentOS but i'm assusming its aplphabetised...
[10:55] <benny1> the second link just appears to give me just a list of older browser versions. I just chose debian, and download from opera.com/download/
[10:57] <benny1> In the software centre I can't find anything for Opera, or Google Chrome. I want to basically have the fastest lightest browser as the PS3's resources are somewhat limited at the moment, and I heard that Opera would be best fit for my need.
[10:58] <Hellow> Chrome and Opera aren't in the Ubuntu repositories.
[10:58] <Silver_Fox_> Morning Hellow  :)
[10:58] <Hellow> Good morning Silver_Fox_ :)
[10:58] <benny1> Hello, Hellow
[10:59] <benny1> Hellow: Is it possible to install anyway?
[10:59] <Hellow> I would lean towards Opera, since Chrome uses one process per tab and can demolish your RAM with ease.
[11:00] <Hellow> From what I can tell, Opera is in the Canonical partner repositories.
[11:00] <Hellow> System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[11:00] <Hellow> Third-party software tab
[11:00] <benny1> I will go for that one then Okay I will open that window now
[11:00] <Hellow> Check anything that has "archive.canonical.com" in it.
[11:02] <benny1> Is this a similar thing to editing the repos in YDL? i screwed that one up!
[11:02] <Hellow> It's hard to screw up checking boxes :).
[11:02] <Hellow> Doing it manually is where most people mess up.
[11:02] <benny1> Okay, on the first tab "Ubuntu oftware" I have everything checked except Source Code. I don't expect I'll need that.
[11:03] <benny1> Under other software nothing is checked, yet,  Cd ROM with  ... jaunty jackalope is available but not checked
[11:03] <Hellow> Other software was the tab I meant.
[11:04] <Hellow> Check the two lines that have "archive.canonical.com" in them.
[11:04] <benny1> Including "Source code"?
[11:04] <Hellow> Yes.
[11:05] <benny1> Whilst I'm here on this tab is there anything else i should configure I may need in the future or will that cover most things as I assume this is going to point Ubuntu to the right place to "get" software from
[11:06] <Hellow> Unless you need to add custom repositories, you should be fine.
[11:06] <benny1> Okay, it's now asking me to connect to the internet as the info about these ones is outdated...
[11:07] <Hellow> Let it.
[11:07] <Hellow> It has to update it's package database.
[11:07] <benny1> Ive clicked Okay, Does this update Synaptic package manger, Ubuntu software centre or both?
[11:08] <Hellow> Technical answer: Synaptic package manager is just a frontend to a tool called "aptitude" - as is the Ubuntu Software Center, and the apt-get terminal program.
[11:09] <Hellow> It updates aptitude's package database.
[11:09] <benny1> Ahh I get it. thanks hopefully i'll know better for next time now...
[11:11] <benny1> okay I think that process has completed so should I be able to add opera from the software centre now?
[11:11] <Hellow> Yes.
[11:13] <benny1> Hmm I think I did something wrong I don't see Opera, not under internet anyway...
[11:13] <Hellow> Hmm...
[11:13] <Hellow> Silver_Fox_: Poke.
[11:13] <Silver_Fox_> Yes
[11:13] <Hellow> Silver_Fox_: Could you take over here? I'm about to be forced to leave for school.
[11:13] <Silver_Fox_> Sure
[11:13] <Hellow> Thanks.
[11:14] <Silver_Fox_> Pleasure
[11:14] <benny1> Hellow: Thanks for the Help!!!
[11:14] <Hellow> benny1: No problem. Sorry I couldn't solve your problem.
[11:14] <Thraul> hey all
[11:15] <duanedesign> hello Thraul
[11:15] <benny1> Hellow: I think even though i'm not quite there yet, I still know more than i did before and better equipped to help myself for the future very useful!
[11:15] <Silver_Fox_> Hmm ,  benny1 :  open a terminal:
[11:15] <Silver_Fox_> Run this command: deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free
[11:15] <Thraul> I think this question might be a bit above beginner but i'll ask just the same, anyone here have any experience with remastering a ubuntu desktop live cd?
[11:15] <benny1> Including the "deb" at the begging?
[11:15] <Silver_Fox_> I would also have a look here benny1:   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[11:16] <Silver_Fox_> Yes benny1 ,  we are going to install via repository
[11:17] <benny1> It returned deb : Command not found
[11:17] <Silver_Fox_> Oh my,  sorry,
[11:17] <Thraul> Silver_Fox_, I believe the command you want to run is: sudo echo "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:17] <Thraul> then run and sudo apt-get update
[11:17] <Silver_Fox_> Yes.  That right Thraul  :)
[11:17] <Silver_Fox_> Yes
[11:18] <benny1> Thraul:  thanks
[11:18] <benny1> With quotes
[11:18] <Thraul> yes
[11:19] <benny1> is there a space between /opera/ and stable ? screens a little hard to see there.
[11:19] <Thraul> yeah
[11:19] <Thraul> just copy and paste should work ;)
[11:20] <benny1> I dont have permission somehow..
[11:20] <benny1> bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied
[11:20] <Thraul> hmmm
[11:22] <Silver_Fox_> sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:23] <benny1> Silver_Fox_: I have that file open now. large text file, :-D
[11:23] <Silver_Fox_> All you need do is add the "deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free" to the end
[11:24] <Silver_Fox_> I am also sorry about telling you to run that command in terminal,  it just slipped my mind. :)
[11:25] <Thraul> add it with out the quotes to the bottom of the file on a new line
[11:25] <Thraul> save and exit file
[11:25] <Thraul> go back to terminal and run: sudo apt-get update
[11:25] <Silver_Fox_> Then run check for updates
[11:25] <Silver_Fox_> :)
[11:25] <benny1> don't apologise you are already helping me plenty I would be still trying to run a folder if it wanst for the pople here!
[11:26] <benny1> Okay thats been saved
[11:26] <Silver_Fox_> Yes,  but its a silly mistake I made ;)  I am more annoyed at myself than anything :D
[11:26] <benny1> Oooh it seems busy now
[11:26] <Silver_Fox_> Cool
[11:27] <benny1> It gave an error right at the end..
[11:27] <Thraul> whats the error?
[11:27] <Silver_Fox_> Do you have the error?
[11:27] <benny1> Get: 3 http://deb.opera.com stable/non-free Packages [859B]
[11:27] <benny1> Fetched 2,115B in 1s (1,770B/s)
[11:27] <benny1> Reading package lists... Done
[11:27] <benny1> W: GPG error: http://deb.opera.com stable Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY F9A2F76A9D1A0061
[11:28] <Silver_Fox_> Something like:  wget -O - http://deb.opera.com/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -
[11:28] <Silver_Fox_> I assume its related to the opera gpg key...
[11:28] <benny1> Ok that seemed t run without a hitch.
[11:28] <benny1> back to the previous command?
[11:28] <Silver_Fox_> Yes
[11:28] <Silver_Fox_> :)
[11:29] <benny1> looks like success
[11:29] <Silver_Fox_> Okay
[11:29] <benny1> Ign http://deb.opera.com stable/non-free Packages
[11:29] <benny1> Ign http://deb.opera.com stable/non-free Packages
[11:29] <benny1> Hit http://deb.opera.com stable/non-free Packages

[11:29] <benny1> Reading package lists... Done
[11:29] <Thraul> cool
[11:29] <Thraul> now run: sudo apt-get install opera
[11:30] <Silver_Fox_> sudo apt-get install opera
[11:31] <benny1> Looks like its working, that was the first command i tried sudo apt-get install opera. and sudo apt-get opera. and I couldnt fathom what I wasn't doing right so I then started with the google. and then here..
[11:35] <benny1> Success!
[11:36] <benny1> Thraul: Silver_Fox_: Thanks! I'ts now available in the menu for me :D
[11:37] <Silver_Fox_> Do you need help getting flash working ?
[11:39] <Silver_Fox_> ^ benny1 ^
[11:39] <benny1> I'm not sure, I would expect so, I haven't used it before
[11:39] <benny1> is youtube flash?
[11:40] <Silver_Fox_> Yes,  it will require a flash player
[11:40] <Thraul> run: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer ?
[11:41] <Silver_Fox_> try playing a video on youtube.  I think it will say something about needing a flash player.  I think it will provide a download link.
[11:41] <benny1> yes, thats right I can't get my fix..
[11:41] <benny1> shall i try the link?
[11:43] <Silver_Fox_> Can do,  yes :)
[11:45] <benny1> I assume choose APT for Ubuntu 9.04+ and agree install?
[11:46] <Silver_Fox_> Sounds reasonable to me
[11:46] <benny1> No joy, I get a page about  : Error!
[11:46] <benny1> The address type is unknown or unsupported

[17:02]  * duanedesign looks
[17:02] <smeag0l> thank you duanedesign
[17:05] <smeag0l> i suspect that there actually are some real root kits on my machine to
[17:06] <duanedesign> smeag0l: I opened my gedit /etc/init.d/bootlogd
[17:06] <duanedesign> and did a search for 'hdparm'
[17:06] <smeag0l> okay
[17:06] <duanedesign> i found iit in line 5 of the comments at the beginning
[17:07] <duanedesign> if you want to maybe search your and see if that lines up
[17:07] <duanedesign> i will see if that is a known false alarm
[17:07] <phillw> duanedesign: I found this --> http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=48549  seems a false postive.
[17:08] <smeag0l> i am pretty tired today since i have been sleeping way to much so i'm not fully on top
[17:08] <duanedesign> thank you phillw
[17:09] <smeag0l> i don't have that much knowledge about this stuff
[17:09] <phillw> most recent I could track down, there are other reports of it flagging up, all seem to point to false positive. I've not seen one saying it is a problem.
[17:09] <smeag0l> okay phillw thank you
[17:13] <duanedesign> smeag0l: also have you tried chkrootkit 'Another rootkit detector' if you are worrkied about having a rootkit.
[17:14] <smeag0l> i know about it but haven't tried it on this machine yet
[17:14] <smeag0l> i will run it

[17:39] <ZachK_> Get me something too drubin
[17:47] <nat_> hello
[17:48] <ZachK_> Hello nat_
[17:48] <ZachK_> How are you nat_ ?
[17:48] <nat_> good thank you
[17:48] <nat_> i have a few questions about irc
[17:48] <ZachK_> nat_: Fire away my man!
[17:49] <nat_> is linux in general safe against irc related attacks
[17:49] <celthunder> ?
[17:50] <nat_> i mean should i worried about botnets and such
[17:50] <celthunder> i'd say that depends on client, what kind of attack, your security etc
[17:50] <nat_> can you explain a bit please
[17:51] <celthunder> if you turn off auto dcc transfers and someone tries to mass flood you with files through dcc then it won't work
[17:52] <ZachK_> nat_: Ubuntu is very safe from attacks due to its coding structure...as for IRC what program are you using?
[17:52] <celthunder> if someone get's your ip (btw +x mode usually prevents that)  and decides to send there botnet at you...not much you can do
[17:52] <nat_> ZachK_:  I want to use xchat
[17:53] <nat_> celthunder: is there a way to hide my ip
[17:53] <ZachK_> nat_: Using ubuntu?
[17:53] <celthunder> +x
[17:53] <nat_> ZachK_: yes
[17:53] <ZachK_> nat_: Yes there is...
[17:53] <ZachK_> nat_: What version of ubuntu
[17:54] <nat_> ZachK_: Karmic
[17:54] <ZachK_> That's 9.10 correct ?
[17:54] <nat_> ZachK_: yes
[17:55] <nat_> celthunder: what does +x mean
[17:55] <celthunder> that's a mode
[17:56] <celthunder> /mode +x celthunder
[17:56] <celthunder> /mode celthunder +x
[17:56] <celthunder> one of the 2
[17:56] <celthunder> so /mode your nick +x or /mode +x yournick
[17:56] <ZachK_> nat_: Ok...go to software center and type in xchat
[17:57] <ZachK_> celthunder: Thats providing he's registered the nick he wants
[17:57] <celthunder> ZachK_, no you dont need to register your nick
[17:58] <celthunder> +x works even if services is dropped maybe your fancy hostname won't work but it'll still change it
[17:58] <celthunder> or at least part ofi t
[17:58] <ZachK_> K...
[17:58] <nat_> ZachK_: yes I have installed the application using sudo apt-get install xchat
[17:59] <nat_> celthunder: so does that mean i can use +x even if i am using web based irc clients
[18:00] <celthunder> nat_ yes..
[18:01] <nat_> celthunder: is +x same or similar to cloak. I am asking because I was reading around about irc before coming here.
[18:05] <celthunder> nat_ yeah same concept
[18:05] <celthunder> cloaks are usually provided with a password or something though
[18:05] <celthunder> or for specific users
[18:05] <nat_> celthunder: ok thank you very much
[18:07] <celthunder> np :) anything else?
[18:07] <nat_> celthunder: yes thank you. I tried /whois on my nickname even after trying /mode +x nickname
[18:08] <nat_> celthunder: but i can still see my ip
[18:08] <celthunder> [nat_] (~82f5ead8@gateway/web/freenode/x-zdyobeikjopwantp
[18:08] <celthunder> you can always see your own ip
[18:08] <celthunder> * [celthunder] is connecting from *@lethaltechnology.net 64.62.173.121
[18:08] <celthunder> see
[18:09] <celthunder> but if you whois me you'll just see lethaltechnology
[18:09] <celthunder> .net
[18:09] <celthunder> and i have -x cause i really don't care that much
[18:10] <nat_> celthunder: i understand now. thank you very much for your help. I really appreciate it.
[18:10] <celthunder> :)

[19:53] <pedro3005> katycorp, maybe boot the live CD and check out your grub file
[19:55] <katycorp> pedro3005: Where is the grub file located?
[19:56] <pedro3005> katycorp, /boot/grub/grub.cfg
[20:00] <katycorp> pedro3005: ummmm it's empty?
[20:00] <mohi1> katycorp, you have the live CD now?
[20:00] <katycorp> yeah I booted up using the livecd
[20:01] <mohi1> katycorp, have a look at http://linuxers.org/howto/how-recover-grub2-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala
[20:01] <mohi1> pedro3005, you too
[20:01] <pedro3005> mohi1, why me? ain't none of my business!
[20:02] <mohi1> :/
[20:02] <meindian523> this is a common problem, had 2 mails in ubuntu-in ML recently on the same
[20:03] <katycorp> mohi1, thanks I'll have a look

[20:10] <AJH101> Hello - I am trying to install an old Philips web cam. I have found easycam but cannot get that to install - can anyone help please?
[20:10] <pedro3005> AJH101, what are you trying?
[20:10] <bodhi_zazen> AJH101: what are you trying to install and what application are you using the web cam with ?
[20:11] <AJH101> Thanks - I am trying to install a Philips PCVC820
[20:12] <AJH101> I can see a red light flashing on the cam so I think it is working ok but I cannot get a video signal from it!
[20:12] <bodhi_zazen> Well, unlike windows, in general you do not "install" drivers
[20:12] <bodhi_zazen> try using your camera first with "cheese"
[20:13] <AJH101> The software centre tells me cheese is installed but I cannot find it in any menu!
[20:13] <bodhi_zazen> Applications -> multimedia I think
[20:13] <bodhi_zazen> or open a terminal and enter the command
[20:13] <bodhi_zazen> cheese
[20:14] <pedro3005> bodhi_zazen, it's Applications > Sound & Video
[20:14] <AJH101> Aagh! Found it thank you - I can see a video signal but the cam does not seem to want to work with Skype
[20:18] <bodhi_zazen> OK, so the problem is likely with Skype then
[20:18] <AJH101> So - my cam works with Cheese fine but not with Skype - any ideas? When I enter the video options in Skype I press on the test button and end up with a white screen until i hit escape.
[20:18] <bodhi_zazen> you could either ask on the Skype forums or consider Ekiga ?
[20:18] <AJH101> Very possibly but how do i solve it?! lol
[20:18] <AJH101> ekiga? is that campatible with skype users?
[20:18] <bodhi_zazen> IDK as it is not a hardware problem, it is a skype problem and I do not use skype enough
[20:19] <Hellow> Also, skype isn't open-sourced, so we can't do anything besides point you to the skype forums.
[20:19] <bodhi_zazen> No it is not compatible with skype
[20:20] <bodhi_zazen> http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=153721
[20:20] <AJH101> ok thatnks - now i will have to try with Pidgin! :-)
[20:20] <Hellow> Ekiga is a client for SIP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_Initiation_Protocol). It'll work with any other client that is compatible with SIP, AFAIK.
[20:20] <Hellow> (ekiga's also open-source)
[20:21] <lukjad86> Bodsda !
[20:21] <lukjad86> Hai gang
[20:22] <katycorp> pedro3005: So I'm following the instructions on that link, and when I run update-grub I get an error that says "cannot find list of partitions"
[20:22] <Hellow> lukjad86 !
[20:22] <katycorp> but fdisk -l lists them all
[20:22] <lukjad86> Hellow !
[20:27] <pedro3005> katycorp, hm. not sure..
[20:27] <katycorp> so it fails when it tries to grep /proc/mounts
[20:27] <katycorp> because proc/mounts doesn't exist
[20:28] <pedro3005> katycorp, O.o it does here
[20:29] <pedro3005> maybe you should asks someone who knows better.. like luk... well not lukjad86. but maybe bodhi_zazen or Hellow ;)
[20:29] <Hellow> Hmm?
[20:29] <lukjad86> Ohai pedro3005
[20:30] <katycorp> well I'll take any help I can get, I'm pretty unfamiliar with grub
[20:30] <lukjad86> pedro3005 Don't hassle me, I just came back from the hospital :P
[20:30] <Hellow> Hmm.
[20:31] <Hellow> pedro3005: What link is this?
[20:31] <katycorp> http://linuxers.org/howto/how-recover-grub2-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala
[20:31] <pedro3005> Hellow, it's mohi1's link
[20:31] <pedro3005> oh
[20:32] <katycorp> I just did a fresh install and when I booted up grub failed to boot into ubuntu. Then I tried selecting "boot from hard disk" in the live cd menu, and I get a grub error "no such partition"
[20:32] <Hellow> Heh, I know who wrote that.
[20:32] <Hellow> shredder12: Ping.
[20:33] <katycorp> when I boot into the livecd and chroot, the /proc/ dir is empty
[20:36] <bodhi_zazen> katycorp: I was going to say, aer you using openvz, LXC, or a chroot ?
[20:36] <Hellow> I honestly haven't a clue about how to fix this. grub2 basically eliminated any knowledge of grub.
[20:36] <bodhi_zazen> when you chroot you need to mount a few things
[20:36] <bodhi_zazen> mount -t proc none /proc
[20:37] <bodhi_zazen> mount -t sysfs none /sys
[20:37] <bodhi_zazen> mount -t devpts none /dev/pts
[20:37] <bodhi_zazen> within the chroot
[20:37] <bodhi_zazen> unmount them when you are done
[20:37] <bodhi_zazen> what are you trying to do exactly ?
[20:38] <katycorp> boot into ubuntu
[20:38] <Hellow> bodhi_zazen: He's following the guide at http://linuxers.org/howto/how-recover-grub2-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala
[20:38] <bodhi_zazen> well you do not boot into ubuntu with chroot so you will need to be more specific then that, even if you are frustrated
[20:39] <katycorp> I just installed it, and upon restarting after the install it failed to boot,giving a "no such partition" error
[20:39] <katycorp> so I am trying to follow the steps in that link to fix grub
[20:39] <katycorp> but am not having any luck so far
[20:39] <bodhi_zazen> That is not such a good link to follow
[20:40] <bodhi_zazen> I doubt you have a separate boot partition for example, although you may
[20:40] <bodhi_zazen> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD
[20:40] <katycorp> when I installed ubuntu I used the default partitioning option, which I think uses the entire disk
[20:40] <bodhi_zazen> what happens when you boot ?
[20:41] <bodhi_zazen> you get the grub screen -> ubunt uboots ?
[20:41] <bodhi_zazen> and what version of Ubuntu ?
[20:41] <bodhi_zazen> did you install 10.05, the Beta ?
[20:41] <katycorp> no it's 9.10
[20:41] <katycorp> when I boot I get a disk error
[20:41] <katycorp> so I put the livecd in and selected "boot from local disk"
[20:42] <katycorp> and then I get a grub error "no such partition"
[20:42] <katycorp> and it drops to the grub rescue shell
[20:43] <bodhi_zazen> did you do anything fancy like encrypt your installation ?
[20:43] <bodhi_zazen> Or just go with the defalts
[20:43] <katycorp> all defaults
[20:44] <katycorp> my home dir is not encrypted or anything
[20:44] <katycorp> so I followed the instructions on the link you posted, and when I get to grub-install, I get two warnings and then an error: "cannot read '/grub/core.img" correctly
[20:45] <bodhi_zazen> you running the live CD now ?
[20:45] <katycorp> yes
[20:45] <bodhi_zazen> do you know how to use pastebin ?
[20:45] <bodhi_zazen> if so, pastebin the output of
[20:46] <bodhi_zazen> sudo blkid
[20:46] <katycorp> well the computer I'm doing this on is not connected to the internet right now
[20:46] <bodhi_zazen> L O L !!!
[20:47] <bodhi_zazen> do you know what partition is your ubuntu root ?
[20:47] <katycorp> hmmm nope
[20:48] <bodhi_zazen> Well you need to figure that out
[20:48] <shredder12> hi Hellow
[20:48] <bodhi_zazen> fdisk -l
[20:49] <bodhi_zazen> will list your partitions
[20:49] <Hellow> shredder12: katycorp is having trouble with one of the articles you wrote at Linuxers.
[20:49] <Hellow> http://linuxers.org/howto/how-recover-grub2-ubuntu-910-karmic-koala
[20:50] <shredder12> oh! thats bad.. Could anyone tell me at which step?
[20:50] <katycorp> the grub-mkconfig one
[20:51] <shredder12> let me see..
[20:51] <katycorp> step #7
[20:51] <shredder12> katycorp, didn't update-grub work?
[20:52] <bodhi_zazen> shredder12: LOL - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD
[20:52] <bodhi_zazen> chroot makes it more complicated then it needs to be, IMHO
[20:52] <katycorp> shredder12: actually no it didn't, it says it can't find the list of partitions
[20:52] <bodhi_zazen> although I do like to play in chroot
[20:53] <bodhi_zazen> just remember, those who play with root eventually kill tree
[20:54] <shredder12> bodhi_zazen,  yeah.. thats the original tutorial that helped me out... it took me a whole day to install karmic at first.. had to recover a lot of times.. thats how I got to know grub2 better.. :)
[20:54] <shredder12> katycorp, bodhi_zazen is it just a simple "windows overwrote mbr" issue or something else?
[20:55] <katycorp> shredder12: no there's no dual boot or anything
[20:55] <bodhi_zazen> naw, frest install, will not boot
[20:55] <bodhi_zazen> I suspect it is a bug
[20:55] <shredder12> bodhi_zazen, it could be.. so after installation, he is unable to boot into the system?
[20:56] <shredder12> katycorp, does the grub show up?
[20:56] <katycorp> shredder12: no it says "disk boot failure"
[20:57] <katycorp> and then I try to boot the primary disk from the livecd menu
[20:57] <katycorp> and then I get a grub error that says no partitions found
[20:58] <shredder12> katycorp, oh.. and so I guess you tried to recover grub from the live session.. and then again got the error..
[20:59] <katycorp> yeah
[20:59] <shredder12> katycorp, are you still in live session?
[20:59] <katycorp> yeah
[20:59] <bodhi_zazen> I am *trying* to get katycorp to mount the ubuntu partition at /mnt, but we do not seem to know what partition that is
[20:59] <katycorp> I already did that
[20:59] <katycorp> per the link
[21:00] <katycorp> /dev/sda1 is mounted on /mnt/
[21:00] <shredder12> katycorp, hey if you are in live session.. open gparted and it will tell you where is the "/" partition mounted
[21:00] <bodhi_zazen> ls /mnt
[21:00] <shredder12> ofcourse..
[21:01] <bodhi_zazen> does that command show things such as /boot and /etc ...
[21:01] <katycorp> after I chroot it shows nothing
[21:01] <bodhi_zazen> we do not need to use chroot
[21:02] <katycorp> gparted shows that /dev/sda1 is mounted on /,mt/
[21:02] <bodhi_zazen> without chroot, what is in /mnt if you
[21:02] <bodhi_zazen> ls /mnt
[21:02] <katycorp> bin, boot, cdrom etc
[21:02] <bodhi_zazen> OK
[21:02] <bodhi_zazen> sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda
[21:02] <shredder12> yes, its the / partition.
[21:03] <katycorp> /dev/sda or /dev/sda1?
[21:03] <bodhi_zazen> sda
[21:04] <katycorp> says it finished, no error reported
[21:04] <bodhi_zazen> reboot and report any errors
[21:07] <katycorp> hmmm still having a disk boot failure
[21:07] <katycorp> that's disappointing
[21:08] <shredder12> eh..
[21:09] <katycorp> shredder12: So does this mean that the grub installation failed silently during the install?
[21:10] <shredder12> katycorp, well, it could have been at the time of installation.. but even after installing it again it didn't seem to work. it didn't even give any error
[21:10] <bodhi_zazen> most likely you have a bug
[21:10] <bodhi_zazen> it seems grub does not recognize the disk
[21:10] <shredder12> btw.. when do we get a disk boot failure?
[21:11] <katycorp> right at start up
[21:11] <bodhi_zazen> reboot
[21:11] <ghostofmybrain_> is there some sort of ftp program that runs from the command line?
[21:11] <shredder12> bodhi_zazen, could this be somehow related to some bios setting?
[21:12] <bodhi_zazen> When you get to the grub screen , select command line
[21:12] <bodhi_zazen> ghostofmybrain_: like ftp ?
[21:12] <bodhi_zazen> =)
[21:12] <bodhi_zazen> or scp
[21:12] <katycorp> it never gets to the grub screen
[21:12] <bodhi_zazen> when you get to a grub command line ...
[21:12] <bodhi_zazen> katycorp: the menu is hitted
[21:12] <bodhi_zazen> hit teh Esc key
[21:13] <katycorp> well it's in the grub rescue> prompt right now
[21:13] <bodhi_zazen> as you boot
[21:13] <bodhi_zazen> OK
[21:13] <bodhi_zazen> set root=(hd0,1)
[21:13] <katycorp> ok
[21:13] <ghostofmybrain_> bodhi_zazen: soemthing like filezilla or something, but running from the command line
[21:14] <bodhi_zazen> linux /boot/vmilnuz ... rot=/dev/sda1
[21:14] <bodhi_zazen> use tab completion to fill in the vmlinux version
[21:15] <bodhi_zazen> ghostofmybrain_: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/164/tn_16418.html
[21:15] <bodhi_zazen> http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/194/tn_19496.html
[21:15] <katycorp> hmm there's no autocomplete happening
[21:15] <bodhi_zazen> OK, you will need to boot the live CD
[21:15] <bodhi_zazen> mount /dev/sda1 at /mnt
[21:15] <bodhi_zazen> ls /mnt/boot
[21:15] <bodhi_zazen> and write down the kernel version number
[21:16] <bodhi_zazen> vmlinux ....
[21:16] <bodhi_zazen> err, vmlinuz
[21:16] <bodhi_zazen> and initrd
[21:16] <bodhi_zazen> you need the exact version numbers
[21:16] <shredder12> bodhi_zazen, i think he spelled /boot/vmilnuz .. not vmlinuz
[21:16] <katycorp> yeah I know
[21:17] <katycorp> it still didn't autocomplete
[21:17] <shredder12> hey try to autocomplete after typing /boot
[21:17] <shredder12> does it show anything?
[21:17] <bodhi_zazen> you need the vmlinux-2.6.30 or whatever it is called
[21:17] <katycorp> ack too late I'm already booting into the live cd
[21:18] <shredder12> alright
[21:18] <bodhi_zazen> set root=(hd0,1)
[21:18] <bodhi_zazen> linux /voot/vmlinuz-2.6.... root=dev/sda1
[21:18] <bodhi_zazen> initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.....
[21:18] <bodhi_zazen> boot
[21:18] <ghostofmybrain_> bodhi_zazen: cool deal, thank you
[21:19] <bodhi_zazen> np ghostofmybrain_
[21:21] <bodhi_zazen> oops
[21:21] <bodhi_zazen> root=/dev/sda1 , forgot the leading /
[21:24] <katycorp> ok I got the version numbers for initrd and vmlinuz
[21:24] <katycorp> can I get back into to grub prompt from here or do I have to reboot?
[21:24] <bodhi_zazen> reboot
[21:28] <katycorp> I hit escape from the livecd menu and entered set root=(hd0,1) and it said it could not find the kernel image
[21:29] <bodhi_zazen> you at the grub prompt ?
[21:30] <bodhi_zazen> I would boot to the hard drive
[21:30] <bodhi_zazen> not the live CD
[21:31] <katycorp> ok, I thought I could use a shortcut, it takes forever to fail and then drop to the grub rescue prompt
[21:32] <bodhi_zazen> Well, when it boots to the HD you should in theory be able to hit the esc key
[21:37] <katycorp> ok uhh, it says unknown commend "linux"
[21:38] <bodhi_zazen> did the set command go OK ?
[21:38] <AJH101> hello my webcam works with cheese but not with skype - can anyone make snse of the last post on the support page? http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=465281
[21:38] <katycorp> bodhi_zazen: I entered: linux vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=/dev/sda1
[21:38] <bodhi_zazen> did you misspelll linux ?
[21:38] <katycorp> yeah the set command worked fine
[21:38] <bodhi_zazen> linux /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.31-14-generic root=/dev/sda1
[21:38] <katycorp> sorry, that is what I entered
[21:38] <katycorp> with the /boot prefix
[21:40] <bodhi_zazen> you sure you spelt linux correctly ?
[21:40] <bodhi_zazen> lol
[21:40] <katycorp> yeah
[21:41] <bodhi_zazen> did you check the integrity of your iso or the quality of your burn ?
[21:42] <katycorp> I verified the disc while writing and checked the disk before I installed
[21:42] <AJH101> hi guys anone know anything about skype on ubuntu?
[21:42] <bodhi_zazen> I am sorry, I am at a loss to explain why  the linux command did not work
[21:42] <bodhi_zazen> you can try re-booting
[21:43] <bodhi_zazen> and rather then droping to a command line, edit the grub lines
[21:43] <katycorp> I have another hard drive, maybe I will stick that one in and give it a shot
[21:43] <katycorp> maybe the hard drive is bad?
[21:43] <bodhi_zazen> again you should in theory be able to do this by hitting the esc key
[21:43] <katycorp> :-\
[21:43] <bodhi_zazen> you could check the cables and HD, but it mounts in a live CD
[21:46] <katycorp> well thanks for the help anyway
[21:46] <katycorp> I think I have to go do something else for a while so I don't throw that computer out of the window
[21:46] <bodhi_zazen> AJH101: looks like you are having problems with skype, again I suggest you post on the skype forums as your issue is very application specific and Ubuntu seems to recognize you camera, in cheese ;P
[21:47] <AJH101> oops yes sorry will do :-)
[21:48] <bodhi_zazen> looks like I scared AKH101 off, lol
[21:49] <switchgirl> hi
[21:49] <bodhi_zazen> 'lo switchgirl
[21:49] <Bodsda> hi switchgirl
[21:49]  * switchgirl wants to stream music via daap to itunes on a mac over the internet can you help?
[21:50]  * bodhi_zazen head explodes
[21:51] <bodhi_zazen> switchgirl: do you have a how to you are following ?
[21:51] <Bodsda> switchgirl: From Itunes on one mac, to Itunes on another mac?
[21:52] <bodhi_zazen> http://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2004/12/streaming_itunes_from_ubuntu.html
[21:52] <bodhi_zazen> http://jamescanspel.blogspot.com/2009/08/setting-up-music-streaming-server-using.html
[21:53] <Bodsda> http://sevitz.com/2005/03/how_to_share_your_music_via_itunes_on_the_net
[21:53] <Bodsda> lol
[21:55] <switchgirl> thanks
[21:57] <katycorp> switchgirl: if you're using rhythmbox it's edit -> plugins -> DAAP music sharing, make sure the checkbox is checked and then hit the configure button to share your music
[22:24] <katycorp> bodhi_zazen: the other hard drive seemed to work fine, same disc
[22:25] <bodhi_zazen> sweet =)
[22:25] <bodhi_zazen> so hardware problem it appears
[22:25] <katycorp> yeah apparently so
[22:27] <bodhi_zazen> Ah, but look at all you learned =)
[22:29] <katycorp> heh I suppose, although nothing was successfully debugged
[22:30] <bodhi_zazen> not so
[22:31] <bodhi_zazen> it appears to be a hardware problem , and I do not think you can debug that with a software solution
[22:34] <switchgirl> katycorp: thanks that's saved me a bunch of pain
[22:34] <switchgirl> :)
[22:35]  * switchgirl gives katycorp a million fat free corn syrup free pizza's
[22:35] <switchgirl> thank you
[22:35] <katycorp> yay, finally a pizza without corn syrup
[22:36] <katycorp> your welcome
[22:39] <katycorp> wow I just spent 25 minutes looking around my apartment for the little antenna that goes with the wireless adapter in the desktop I just set up with ubuntu
[22:39] <katycorp> I actually put it in the box it came in
[22:39] <katycorp> who does that?! it makes it impossible to find anything
[22:40] <phillw> katycorp: that woukld make sense ;-)
[22:40] <switchgirl> katycorp: one question lan or http://
[22:40] <switchgirl> ?
[22:41] <katycorp> switchgirl: not exactly sure what you mean but DAAP is generally used for sharing music over a local network
[22:41] <switchgirl> oh :(
[22:41] <switchgirl> i need it over http://
[22:42] <switchgirl> or tcp / ip
[22:42] <switchgirl> ie teh internetz
[22:42] <katycorp> yeah that's a bit more involved
[22:42] <switchgirl> from edinburgh uk to norwich
[22:42] <katycorp> you could always turn your computer into a webserver
[22:44] <switchgirl> http://www.damonkohler.com/2009/01/rhythmbox-shout2send-plugin.html
[22:44] <switchgirl> would that work?
[22:44] <switchgirl> :s
[22:45] <switchgirl> i mean it says ogg i have mp3
[22:46] <katycorp> well it looks like he actually has a webserver set up
[22:46] <katycorp> and is using icecast to stream his content
[22:47] <katycorp> the plugin is just some code that streams whatever is currently playing in his rhythmbox instance
[22:47] <katycorp> I mean that would work but you have to realize it's more involved than just installing the plugin
[22:47] <switchgirl> i dont want it via ssh
[22:47] <katycorp> you need a webserver running icecast as well (it appears)
[22:47] <switchgirl> as the technophobe woud freak
[22:51] <katycorp> icecast isn't via ssh, it's a webserver. You'd need some knowhow of web hosting/setup probably
[22:51] <katycorp> they also have an irc room: #icecast
