[05:27] Hi. I'm trying to connect two computers using a lan cable. I get an option to auto eth0 on one computer, but the other doesn't give an option for a wired connection [05:28] ubuntuuser993434: wat type of cable you use..?Is it a cross over cable..? [05:28] It's not a crossover cable, but I think it should work anyway. MDI-X and all that [05:28] both computers are pretty new [05:30] karthick87: see my response above. [05:32] How do you connect..Do you connect it via switch..?What is your setup..? [05:33] straight from one NIC to the other. [05:33] what ip do you set in both computers..? [05:34] a 169.254.x.x ip on the one that lets me select a network configuration (the network applet) [05:34] but the other one doesn't let me select a configuration for eth0 [05:34] ubuntuuser993434: Is wired network working on the PC that doesn't give you an "Auto Eth0" option? Strange that only one gived this... [05:35] nlsthzn: I don't know. I always use wireless on the pc that isn't giving me an option. it's a laptop. [05:37] ubuntuuser993434: Can you run ifconfig and see if you get any info for Eth0 and not just for Wan... check in Network Manager that Wired Network is enabled, right click it on the taskbar...

[05:39] Same on my desktop that uses a wired connection regularly [05:40] ubuntuuser993434: I am stuck on Windows (@work) so I can't check the wording completely, sorry... have a look at this link http://www.wikihow.com/Connect-Two-Computers but I suspect you need a cross-over cable, however I have never attempted so I may be wrong... [05:41] The computers are brand new! They should have MDI-X. They should auto-sense the straight cable and compensate =[ [05:43] ubuntuuser993434: I believe you, just I don't have any expereince as I have not attempted this... I normally use a switch, I could suggest changing the subnet to 255.255.255.x rather but I doubt that would change anything... [05:45] nlsthzn: yeah, don't have a switch available and have 10GB of files to transfer. do you know what my gateway should be? [05:46] i'm setting the ip to be 169.254.9.108 [05:46] and .109 [05:50] ubuntuuser993434: I stand corrected but I don't think you need to set a gateway...

I though I just had to use the same one the whole time... silly me :D [12:36] i lost my min max close buttons :( [12:37] i changed them bu did not appair :( [12:37] *theme [12:38] hi, is there anyone? [12:38] cevat: [12:38] cevat: Hi, don't stress to much (yet) [12:39] ok. [12:40] cevat: There are a number of easy terminal commands to get them back (I just can't think of them right now... give us a minute :D) [12:41] in terminal: metacity --replace [12:41] or better press alt+f2 then metacity --replace [12:42] i m using compiz [12:42] that will put back the standard windows borders... for compix there is a similar command [12:43] cevat: compiz --replace [12:43] Got to love Google and the Ubuntu Forums (www.ubuntuforums.org) [12:44] oh, they came back, thank you :) [12:44] and... [12:44] is it a bug? [12:47] last question, is there a shortcut for replacing buttons from left side to right side? [12:47] cevat: Probably not... however if you can reproduce it consistantly make a thread on the Ubuntu forums, see if others are affected and if they found a way around, and if enough evidence is gathered and you feel it is a bug you can file a bug report [12:47] cevat: The buttons on the left are much better :D [12:48] cevat: But if you really have to: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/config-desktop/C/window-button-order.html [12:48] my experience based on ms windows, so right is better :) [12:49] hi [12:52] i think this is an important issue for ms windows immigrants. there must be some shortcut for this issue. [12:53] cevat: You are already on the right path, soon you will find left is better (as is much in Linux land)... [12:54] cevat: I doubt the window placement is really such a big deal for anyone coming from Windows... if that becomes a show stopper for a person he wasn't going to be using anything except Windows for very long anyway... [12:57] nlsthzn, i am interested in human computer interaction. is there a research about this issue, what is users choice, left or right? [12:58] cevat: Well, if it will help I was just reading this post http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1606436 on the topic of the switch in Ubuntu... there are several other ones on the Forum... [12:59] after 12 years experience, my hand automaticly goes right side, that is not good first experince [13:01] I prefer the window buttons on the right [13:01] :-) [13:01] cevat: Within a few days I had gotten used to it... now I very much prefer left... but to each his own, the buttons, like the wallpaper can be changed :D [13:01] So far, the shortest way for me to change it from left to right whenever I change themes is a bookmarked gconf-editor path [13:01] 75 votes is not enough for this issue [13:02] Or maybe the Python (I think it is) file that was available before the release of 10.04 [13:03] cevat: It is an unofficial vote, just some members giving there opinions... But this is a choice that has been made to make the default to the left, who knows what will happen once Unity is shipped... [13:08] when i trying to start kaffeine - display next message: "Loading of player part 'XinePart' failed. All Video Drivers failed to initialize!". does anyone know how to solve this problem? [13:12] :/ people sure are in a hurry to get answers to questions it seems... One question, 3 minutes, no answer, gone... [13:13] nlsthzn, when i push headphone jack to my notebook, sound comes booth from headphones and notebook's speakers, i just want to get sound on headphone, is there a shortcut for this? [13:15] cevat: I am not sure... Got to admit that I have not used headphones on any of my systems while running Linux yet (and I switched over completely about two months ago)... I would have thought that the sound to the speakers would automatically cut off when you inserted the phones... odd... === yofel_ is now known as yofel [13:59] I have a question regarding PGP keys... I created one, uploaded to the Ubuntu key server... then I re-installed Ubuntu (reformatted etc.)... is it possible for me to "import" my key from the key server or something (I never exported it locally)... or how does this kind of thing work (very new to the whole PGP thing) [15:03] nlsthzn: You can only uplaod the public key to the key server as far as I know. [15:03] And the key you need is the secret key. [15:04] Your best bet is probably to just create a new key to replace it. Unless you have a backup of your previous homedir.

You can't create the private half from the public :) [16:04] hello [16:05] what are some reasons a cd/dvd drive won't work? === zz_slidinghorn is now known as slidinghorn [17:35] hi [17:36] is there any spesific wine version for ms office 2007 setup?
