[04:08] In Visio, create a new network drawing. Use it to show your computer (choose PC, Mac, laptop, etc. as appropriate). Then, add a data graphic showing information about your current configuration. Minimally, you should include Product Description giving a label for your computer, Operating System, IP Address, Subnet Mask, and MAC (Physical) Address. (Note: on Windows platforms, the network information may be accessed b [04:08] y selecting status for the connection in the networks tab of the control panel or using “ipconfig /all” in the command prompt. Copy the drawing into your overall submission document (do not submit a separate Visio/VSD document) [04:09] but I could not get visio to install so I am using Dia [04:09] don't know what dia es [04:09] its like visio [04:09] diagram [04:10] oks. and your problem is? [04:11] you need the information about your PC to be redirected to DIA? [04:11] I dont know how my layout should look or how to find my ip address ,MAC etc [04:11] yeah I think so [04:11] then I have to take it from there and put it in my word doc [04:12] you can use pipes [04:12] or the | character [04:12] I dont know [04:12] to redirect the output of ifconfig to ... wherever you want [04:12] ok how [04:14] for example, with ifconfig you get your IP, MAC, etc [04:14] yeah [04:15] then, to redirect the output, you can use: http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/io-redirection.html [04:15] and if you know something about python, you can make a script to get the info, and maybe export it to DIA [04:17] ok [04:17] thanks === PabloRubianes_ is now known as PabloRubianes [06:33] mornin [06:34] morning lambrecht [06:37] :) [06:44] morning [07:16] good morning team [07:17] morning [07:19] morning Akos and pedro3005 [08:04] good evening/morning/whatever people :) [08:06] kermiac: hey mate [08:07] hey ddecator :) how's things mate?

[13:39] nm nm yours? [13:39] having exams in two days :( [13:39] i dont even know where my book is :( [13:40] mohi1, LOL it happens :P [13:40] :'( [13:40] * mohi1 is searching for the exam time table(coz i dont know what is the first exam) [13:44] * rraj_be kicks mohi1...useless pellow...dont even knows abt his exam... [13:45] :( [13:45] * rraj_be wishes mohi would give him vinos exam hall [13:45] rraj_be, join #ubuntu-beginners-team [14:19] how do i fix the S and K numbers in /etc/rc#.d/ when insserver rewrote them all sequentially? instead of S10xxx S40xxx, S80xxx, i have S01xxx, S02xxx, S03xxxx [14:24] hello LzrdKing [14:24] hi duanedesign, can you help me? [14:26] the number is the order it runs at start up. As long as the order is the same I dont think the number matters. [14:31] heya duanedesign :D [14:31] i beleive you are correct, but what happens when i install a new package that believes one process starts with 30, another starts at 40 and needs to start in between them so uses 35, but in reality, the 30 and 40 were changed to 2 and 3? [14:31] hey there Severity1 [14:32] how are you duanedesign :D [14:39] LzrdKing: if it currently does not seem to be an issue I would just be aware of the situation and in the future if a service does not start you will now where to start debugging [14:40] if one service depends on another to be started first I would guess that they would be installed/configured together at install [14:40] so you're saying i'll need to manually correct the links if it comes down to that? [14:49] chkconfig is a nice tool for managing runlevel links [14:52] no chkconfig in ubuntu though [14:52] i don't understand the startup scripts in karmic; i knew them in jaunty; they were pretty standard, but now.... they are all garbled === mohi_away is now known as Guest50978 [14:53] LzrdKing: yeah you need to install it [14:54] how can i just reinstall the init stuff? [14:54] morning folks [14:55] mornin [14:55] 'o [14:57] LzrdKing: reading 'man update-rc.d' i foound: [14:57] A common system administration error is to delete the links with the thought that this will "disable" the service, i.e., that this will prevent the service from being started. However, if all links have been deleted then the next time the package is upgraded, the package's postinst script will run update-rc.d again and this will reinstall links at their factory default locations. [14:58] so i should reinstall those packages that have links in /etc/init [14:58] and/or /etc/init.d [15:00] damn, its snowing outside! Grrr, its april! [15:01] LzrdKing: look at this thread and see if it helps: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=620096 [15:01] hmm, nevermind [15:01] that is not as helpfull as i thought [15:02] basically it says to rinstall :) [15:02] reinstall* [15:08] LzrdKing: here is an interesting bug report on the topic. http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=339460 [15:08] Message 15 looks promising [15:09] if i remove gdm and i have gnome will it go to gnome automatically or will prompt for login thru shell? [15:10] duanedesign: looks good, thanks! [15:10] LzrdKing: if you end up trying any of that I would be interested to know how it goes. Best of luck [15:16] Severity1: i think it would boot to a prompt and you would need to issue 'start x' [15:17] duanedesign, is there a way to auto login without gdm? [15:17] you'd need to log in [15:17] yes there is [15:17] but its mroe complicated [15:17] and run a custom desktop entry instead of gnome.desktop [15:18] LzrdKing, i hope i kind resources for that :P [15:19] http://www.shallowsky.com/blog/linux/install/autologin-karmic.html [15:20] its really easy [15:21] ohhhh thnx LzrdKing :D [15:21] then you can configure your shell to start X [15:21] in like .profile or something [15:22] cool cool! [15:23] yeah! i guess i hafta move my boxee.desktop script to .profile [15:25] you want to run boxee? [15:25] im running it now [15:26] i'd ditch gnome altogether and just use openbox; that's what i'm doing [15:26] right now i hafta login to gdm then choose boxee desktop instead of gnome thru gdm [15:26] hmmmm i hafta try that [15:26] karmic or lucid? [15:26] karmic [15:26] i wonder how it runs under lucid [15:26] but ill redo everything once lucid comes out [15:26] yeah [15:27] i really would want to run it under lucid [15:27] you know there is a #boxee channel on freenode [15:27] really? [15:27] cool [15:27] i'll check it out someday xD [15:27] its usually pretty quiet [15:27] awwwww [15:28] have you tried loging in to a boxee session? instead of logging in to a openbx or gnome session? [15:29] no, i like to be able to open an xterm occasionally [15:30] i see [15:30] but it would just be a matter of removeiong the openbox line from ~/.xinitrc [15:30] or commenting it out [15:31] i setup a custom boxee script so that i can pick Boxee desktop as default on gdm [15:31] the problem is audio [15:31] sometimes it will not kick in [15:31] but i made a work around [15:32] pulseaudio? [15:32] yup [15:32] no pulse here [15:32] alsa? [15:32] see, the computer i'm using is really only for boxee, i do nothing else with it [15:32] yup [15:32] well on mine i use pulse [15:33] it gave me a damn hard time too, since i needed to add my user to the audio group [15:33] right now problems with audio is solved [15:33] until i did that, audio apps only worked as non-root when X didn;t run; the moment i started X, audio cut out entirely [15:33] unless i ran something as root [15:34] awwww [15:34] i never had that problem [15:35] pulse-session /opt/boxee/Boxee --standalone "$@" [15:35] i made a custom script with that [15:35] and now pulse runs before running boxee [15:36] actually i copied this script from xbmc [15:36] xD [15:36] i just use the autologin, then my .profile starts X with startx, then .xinitrc starts boxee and openbox, and i'm done [15:37] but my startup is a little screwy because i configure my wireless network like 3 times [15:38] never had problems with wireless [15:38] im planning on buying a zotec box [15:38] yes, but do you mount nfs shares? [15:39] zotec looks awesome [15:39] yup! [15:40] i need my nfs shares mounted before boxee starts, and preferably before anything calls mountall [15:40] as it is, i get errors because mountall is called before wireless is up and the nfs shares can't be mounted [15:40] and i hate that [15:41] lol that is a problem [15:41] add nfs shares to fstab? [15:41] i did, thats why mountall gives errors [15:42] maybe i should take them OUT and mount them manually later [15:42] wait [15:43] its good as is i think [15:44] you can pass swithces to your fstab nfs entries [15:44] like when it throws errors you can make it egnore the errors and have it retry after nth time atleast until wireless kicksin [15:48] http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php?topic=70922.0;wap2 [15:48] or try an automounter [15:51] it does keep trying and eventually mounts them [15:51] hey! is there a channel where I can ask about laptops and drivers or thing like that? [15:52] LzrdKing, does it throw errors? [15:53] malev: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList < There is a labtop dev channel on there. [15:53] Severity1: yes, it says the operation failed [15:54] you can pass an option on fstab to your nfs entry that makes it not throw errors and just retries [15:54] thanks!! starcraftman [15:55] malev: np :) [15:55] Severity1: it looks like using the option "bg" may help a lot [15:55] yup [15:55] thats what i think too [16:27] how to I accept a file transfer on Empathy?? [16:28] is the download automatic? I only see Clear | Open | Stop buttons [16:29] and the files sent form i-chat on the other end (gtalk) do not download on my side [16:39] anybody using empathy??? [17:23] how can you be sure that a computer will run ubuntu? purchasing says they want it to be from dell or hp, but man what a pain to find stuff there. [17:24] i would like to do something smaller form factor with 2 nics and good proc/ram [17:26] is anyone familiar with rkhunter? [17:26] Or is there a room that focuses specifically on security. [17:29] Also got a question about virtual desktops using Lucid [17:29] Hi! There is no channel dedicate for security https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList [17:30] But you can ask it in #ubuntu [17:30] Does it use any more memory to run have virtual desktops "running". For example if using the compiz advanced display settings I reduce the number os virtual desktops to 1 instead of 4 would I get better system performance in a perfect world> [17:30] the Ubuntu help channel [17:31] The VM will only get the memory you alloted [17:31] * znxtch is confused. [17:32] hello everybody [17:32] I am back [17:32] Good evening, shahan [17:32] zeroseven0183: its night here :) [17:33] shahan, could you help us figure out the answer znxtch's questions [17:33] zeroseven0183: whats the problem? [17:33] :: znxtch: Does it use any more memory to run have virtual desktops "running". For example if using the compiz advanced display settings I reduce the number os virtual desktops to 1 instead of 4 would I get better system performance in a perfect world> [17:34] zeroseven0183: whats the problem? [17:35] That's znxtch's question above [17:35] * znxtch nods [17:35] zeroseven0183: hmm [17:35] zeroseven0183: I have a little Idea about VM [17:35] zeroseven0183: I dont use it [17:36] zeroseven0183: :(\ [17:36] As far as I know, the virtual machine uses only the memor that is alloted for it [17:36] for example, I have a 4GB memory in all [17:36] how is the best way to buy computers that you want to run ubuntu on? [17:36] I allot 2GB to VM-Ubuntu [17:36] Not virtual machine [17:36] VM-Ubuntu can only use 2GB max [17:37] I'm talking about the "virtual desktops" [17:37] i dont know if thats the appropriate term [17:37] Ahhhhmmm Oooppsss sorry [17:37] javatexan: you wanna buy a PC? [17:37] you know you can switch between 4 desktops in the default ubuntu install [17:37] I see [17:37] workspaces [17:37] shahan: yes, but I am trying to find one that can definitely run ubuntu.... [17:37] as in the cuve [17:37] as in the cube [17:37] ? [17:37] javatexan: hmm [17:38] but new of course [17:38] ;) [17:38] javatexan: what u will do in ur pc? [17:38] im not using the cube [17:38] just by default you can switch between 4 "virtual desktops" [17:38] there is an option to reduce that to 1 [17:38] yes [17:38] i wondered if that would improve my system performance or not [17:39] Desktop size > Horizontal virtual size [17:39] shahan: lots of stuff, but mainly show off ubuntu as both main os and appliances [17:39] hmm [17:39] that is zeroseven [17:39] I mean [17:39] thats it! [17:39] javatexan: you wanna buy a brand pc? [17:39] by appliances, I mean mythbuntu, firewall, server, etc [17:39] that is the option I'm referring to [17:40] well purchasing likes dell and HP [17:40] javatexan: or purchase the parts then join them? [17:40] cd .. [17:40] sry wrong window [17:40] lol [17:40] shahan: [17:41] My wild guess is that you're using more memory since you're using an additional feature [17:41] javatexan: yes [17:41] shahan: not sure, I can do that; but I think the IT guys would rather a brand for service reasons [17:41] javatexan: hmm [17:41] znxtch: But not much [17:41] javatexan: where r u from? [17:41] shahan: I know.... [17:41] shahan: texas [17:41] javatexan: javatexan Canada? [17:42] shahan: nope, texas US [17:42] javatexan: hmm [17:42] javatexan: you can buy Brand PC [17:43] shahan: which, I thought only certain hardware would work, they really only say either windows7 or FreeDos compat [17:46] javatexan: you can buy any sorts of PC which contains intel processor [17:46] javatexan: intel chipset motherboard [17:46] javatexan: hope will work... [17:46] okay...is it still true that nvidia is better than ati for compat? [17:47] javatexan: what is "compat"? [17:47] compatible [17:48] javatexan: yes... ubuntu is giving good support for nvidia [17:48] k..thanks [18:17] Is there anyone who have idea about using KDE conver from GNOME?

I just don't "get it". [21:39] I can get 4 watts power usage when idle on this machine =) [21:39] and I'm plenty enlightened on other topics. [21:40] all that being said, I do like the VIA nanos and the plugPC that Marvell has [21:40] that's about the extent of my small computer liking. [21:40] PD187, besides what don't you like about Netbooks ? [21:41] Speed or Form Factor? [21:41] I don't really know. I've never used one actually. [21:41] O: [21:41] I would imagine it's just everyone seemingly saying they're a second coming of some kind. [21:41] that makes you a prejudice [21:42] PD187, not really a second coming... [21:42] perhaps I just don't like hyped up products of any kind then? [21:42] I'm a strange person I guess. [21:42] however, with one I can put everything I need to live inside 1 bag and happily travel with it over my shoulder [21:43] I also don't need to fly anymore so I guess that changes things a bit [21:43] I mean this PC (a shuttle) has flown a few places with me. [21:43] ;) [21:44] Okinawa to the states (and back), Okinawa to the states (for good) and I think I flew with it to Texas one time [21:44] Well anyone who has used UNR 10.04, checkout the available Login Sessions [21:44] I once flew with a box of hard drives :D [21:45] There's a n'Ubuntu Netbook Remix', and an 'UNE 2D' session [21:45] the interesting one I'd like to point at is UNE 2D [21:46] which is same look as UNE (albeit a little bit stripped down), but feels like it is aimed at devices with touchscreens (ie: smartphones) [21:47] a little bouncing effect when you scroll up too far, or down too far accompanies this notion.
