[00:01] <bella-t> 3.1.6
[00:02] <bella-t> this is the version
[00:02] <stlsaint> hrm, you are using an older version, the latest out is 3.2
[00:02] <stlsaint> i suggest removing and installing the update version, you can save your vm's harddrives for use with the new install
[00:03] <bella-t> removing the Vm is obligatarry
[00:03] <bella-t> ?
[00:04] <bella-t> or optionnal
[00:04] <stlsaint> bella-t: you can just save the harddrive and recreate the vm itself and use the old vm's hard drive for the new vm
[00:05] <bella-t> and the data will be saved of course
[00:06] <bella-t> do you know the command to save the VM
[00:06] <bella-t> ?
[00:06] <bella-t> plz
[00:06] <stlsaint> yes, are you aware of how to save the vm drive?
[00:06] <stlsaint> oh hehe
[00:06] <stlsaint> you using cli or graphical?
[00:07] <bella-t> what is cli?
[00:07] <UndiFineD> command line interface
[00:07] <bella-t> some times i use CLI
[00:08] <bella-t> and about the saving of VM i've no idea about it
[00:09] <stlsaint> bella-t: open your home directory
[00:09] <bella-t> done
[00:10] <bella-t> then?
[00:10] <stlsaint> open your .vbox dir
[00:10] <stlsaint> .Virtualbox
[00:11] <bella-t> there is no such dir
[00:11] <stlsaint> have you viewed the hidden directorys
[00:11] <stlsaint> hit: Ctrl+h
[00:12] <bella-t> ok
[00:12] <bella-t> then
[00:13] <stlsaint> you should see a hard drives folder or machines folder
[00:13] <bella-t> yes
[00:13] <bella-t> hardDisks and Machine
[00:13] <stlsaint> hard drive folder?
[00:14] <stlsaint> in the hard disk folder you should see your vm disk
[00:14] <bella-t> windowsxp.vdi
[00:14] <stlsaint> yep thats the one...feel free to copy that somewhere maybe to your desktop
[00:15] <bella-t> ok
[00:16] <bella-t> thank you veryyy much
[00:16] <stlsaint> you will have to install vbox from the website
[00:17] <bella-t> then the problem will vanish ?
[00:17] <stlsaint> bella-t: if you really are overly-cautious you can even backup your machine out of the machines folder to your desktop
[00:17] <stlsaint> bella-t: yes the problem should be gone
[00:17] <bella-t> I'am coping all the di .Virtualbox
[00:18] <bella-t> to my DD
[00:18] <stlsaint> lol well that will do the trick also
[00:18] <bella-t> hhh
[00:18] <stlsaint> o_O
[00:19] <bella-t> ??
[00:19] <stlsaint> you know how to install from website?
[00:20] <latenite> Hi folks, Is it possible to install ubunut on an external HDD, THEN take that hdd to "my gandfathers PC" and plug it in, SO his PC has Ubuntu? OR do I need his PC connected to the HDD while installing. He lifes in another city and I would like to send the "ready to go" HDD to him. So he does not have to do anything BUT plug it an and boot. ?? If so...how can I do that?
[00:20] <stlsaint> bella-t: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads
[00:20] <bella-t> thnk you
[00:21] <bella-t> every version has its specefic file to download
[00:22] <stlsaint> latenite: hey if you install ubuntu to a external harddrive than you will be able to plug in the ext to the "new" computer and ubuntu will boot if you boot to the external drive
[00:23] <stlsaint> latenite: i tried that before some time ago and i think the only issue i had was the graphics driver
[00:23] <latenite> stlsaint, how would I make sure all his hardware is supported? he s a printer and webcam...und stuff? How do I install it to my external HDD? All i did do far is mount it.
[00:24] <stlsaint> latenite: just point ubiquity to the external drive
[00:25] <stlsaint> latenite: hrm with all those extra drivers i would suggest you have the system sent to you and you install it (if thats possible)
[00:25] <latenite> stlsaint, ubiquity??? I run gentoo here and just pluged in HIS external HDD...what would be next? shall I donwload the iso?
[00:25] <stlsaint> well yea you will need the ubuntu iso
[00:25] <stlsaint> bella-t: everything going well?
[00:26] <latenite> stlsaint, no cant do taht...is s liek a suprise ... I want to send it to him and suprise him with his NEW linx
[00:26] <latenite> *linux
[00:26] <latenite> stlsaint, and what do I do with the iso? unpack it and dd it the drive?
[00:26] <bella-t> yes
[00:27] <bella-t> 'im installig virtualbox
[00:27] <bella-t> sorry
[00:27] <stlsaint> why dd?
[00:27] <bella-t> downoading vb
[00:27] <stlsaint> latenite: you will have to burn the iso to a cd and install it to the hard drive
[00:27] <bella-t> and copying the dir
[00:29] <latenite> stlsaint, so I would have to shoutr down my system...bozzt the cd and select the external HDD? is there a way doinf the install FROM WITHIN my running gentoo?
[00:29] <stlsaint> latenite: from what i know, no...that is not possible
[00:30] <stlsaint> collinp: ping
[00:30] <latenite> I know it can be done with debina and a chroot+debootstrap..is there anything like that?
[00:30] <collinp> Yo.
[00:31] <stlsaint> collinp: is it possible to install ubuntu to a external drive without booting into the livecd (only thing i can think of is something with wubi)
[00:31] <stlsaint> latenite: you want to chroot?
[00:31] <collinp> It's certainly possible, but fairly difficult to do.
[00:32] <stlsaint> collinp: i have never done nor seen it done so i have no idea of how to
[00:32] <stlsaint> latenite: a chroot wouldnt install to a drive (i dont think)
[00:32] <collinp> In essence, it's not feasible.
[00:32] <stlsaint> i didnt think so
[00:32] <latenite> collinp, that s ok? would you tell me how?...just the idea of it? In general I nstall gentoo like taht: make a chroot-> mounf hdd-> copy system tree-> install grub-> DONE
[00:34] <collinp> Gentoo and Debian are two different beasts. I have never really gotten deep into the installation process, but I think it's something along the lines of: The installer lays the foundation (kernel and apt), then goes and installs the packages that go into the system.
[00:34] <collinp> Or I could be completely wrong. I've never had to go and install Ubuntu to a system without shutting down and using the livecd.
[00:35] <collinp> I'm at least fairly sure that the CD does not ship binary files explicitly, but they are packaged in .deb files that have to be installed onto the base system.
[00:35] <stlsaint> nor have i ever installed without livecd
[00:35] <stlsaint> latenite: tbh in your case google would probably be your best bet
[00:36] <collinp> Let me go find one of my Ubuntu CDs.
[00:36] <latenite> collinp, well imagine a remote sever...You wouldn't have a chance to put a live CD into it...All you have is ssh into SOME sort of live system...you know?
[00:36] <collinp> You deploy remote systems differently than a normal desktop/laptop system.
[00:37] <collinp> Often with imaging, which is putting a image of an already installed system onto the hard drive.
[00:37] <latenite> collinp, well leaving the "image" idea aside...how would ubuntu be installed remotely?
[00:37] <bella-t> i'll reboot my system
[00:38] <collinp> Er.
[00:38] <collinp> Yeah.
[00:39] <collinp> You're not copying the CD to the hard drive, because everything is packaged in .deb files which the installer installs onto the base system.
[00:39] <collinp> And, to be honest, I don't know of another system used instead of the "image" system for remote deployment.
[00:39] <collinp> Most everything in a rapid-deployment environment is based around images or something very, very similar to it.
[00:40] <collinp> Err, remote-deployment
[00:40] <collinp> Basically, you would have to go and install each and every .deb file - manually - onto a base system on the hard drive.
[00:41] <collinp> If you were doing this from another operating system.
[00:42] <collinp> nhandler: Ping
[00:42] <latenite> collinp, hmm well. I realy "hate" the idea of having to boot the life cd....for the fact that I could ONLY do that by shutting down my box...thats "iiiaks" somehow
[00:43] <bella-t> stlsaint, there is a conflit with virtualbox-ose
[00:44] <bella-t> while executinng
[00:47] <bella-t> a backup of the hole system will solve the problem ?
[00:48] <nhandler> Yes collinp ?
[00:48] <collinp> nhandler: Imaging aside, do you know of another method of installing Ubuntu/Debian without booting into the LiveCD environment?
[00:48] <collinp> Er, more specifically, without rebooting from another operating system at all.
[00:49] <nhandler> collinp: Without rebooting? You could use wubi or a VM
[00:49] <collinp> I know very little about the subject. latenite was wanting to install Ubuntu without booting out of their Gentoo install.
[00:50] <nhandler> collinp: Well, if they want to do a proper installation, they will want to reboot. Partitioning a HD is rather unsafe if the disk is in-use
[00:50] <latenite> collinp, nhandler RIGHT::: I could boot the iso into a kvm vm...and whe done copy all the files to the external hdd? right? or am I off track here?
[00:52] <szczur> collinp, https://help.ubuntu.com/6.10/ubuntu/installation-guide/i386/linux-upgrade.html but i think it is a bit outdated
[00:52] <nhandler> latenite: It might work, but I have a feeling it probably won't work well
[00:52] <latenite> nhandler, what could go wrong? any forsight ideas?
[00:53] <nhandler> latenite: I can't remember, but I thought Ubuntu did some checks for the type of hardware that is being used to try and make sure things work. All of those checks would get messed up
[00:54] <nhandler> latenite: So if you go with that approach, you should probably install something like the ubuntu minimum iso and then add the extra packages you need
[00:54] <latenite> nhandler, taht was my question in the first place..since i ONLY have the HDD....that will GO into a box that s not with me.
[00:57] <stlsaint> bella-t: did you remove the vbox you had on there?
[00:58] <bella-t> yes i've deleted it from the logitheque
[01:00] <bella-t> I've fogot a packet
[01:00] <bella-t> which is related to vm
[01:01] <bella-t> that's why the installation was blocked
[01:02] <bella-t> a backup is it able to resolve the problem ?
[01:03] <stlsaint> sudo apt-get -purge remove virtualbox-3.1
[01:03] <stlsaint> unless you jsut removed it from synaptic
[01:03] <stlsaint> bella-t: a backup?
[01:03] <bella-t> yes
[01:03] <stlsaint> have you gotten the new vbox installed with no errors?
[01:05] <bella-t> i've installed the new VBox
[01:05] <bella-t> but there is an error
[01:05] <stlsaint> what error?
[01:05] <bella-t> driver not installed
[01:05] <bella-t> The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing
[01:05] <bella-t> '/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'
[01:05] <bella-t> as root. Users of Ubuntu, Fedora or Mandriva should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary.
[01:06] <latenite> nhandler, ok another VERY differnet approach: I have a usp pendirve with a INSTALLED (no live iso) ubunut on it. I booted my laptop of it and connected the HDD. Now I miss the "install" button that on a regualr liveCD. Is that be found on my realy (non live) system too?
[01:09] <latenite> so in other words. How to install ubuntu FROM ubuntu?
[01:15] <stlsaint> bella-t: oh have you not installed dkms yet?
[01:15] <stlsaint> bella-t: sudo apt-get install dkms
[01:15] <stlsaint> its whats used to build kernel
[01:16] <bella-t> they aren't installed
[01:17] <bella-t> I've installed it
[01:18] <szczur> latenite, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux#Without%20CD
[01:18] <bella-t> and now should I reboot my system ?
[01:18] <szczur> this may be helpful to you
[01:18] <bella-t> because the error still there
[01:20] <latenite> szczur, nice thats just waht I want :) cool
[01:21] <stlsaint> bella-t: sure
[01:22] <bella-t> ok
[01:25] <bella-t> back
[01:26] <bella-t> stlsaint, the problem persist

[01:36] <szczur> :)
[01:37] <bella-t> it is already closed
[01:37] <stlsaint> run command and enter password
[01:37] <bella-t> ok

[01:47] <stlsaint> linux-libc-dev
[01:47] <bella-t> i've taped the command that you gaved to me
[01:51] <bella-t> i've installed the headers

[01:56] <stlsaint> whats the error again?

[02:04] <stlsaint> bella-t: this is a continued interface error
[02:04] <stlsaint> something is still wrong with your interface file i think
[02:05] <stlsaint> please show me the contents of it: cat /etc/networking/interface

[02:08] <bella-t> auto eth2
[02:08] <bella-t> iface eth2 inet dhcp
[02:10] <bella-t> if we add auto eth2 vbox to the file
[02:11] <bella-t> the problem could be resolved ?
[02:17] <stlsaint> i dont think so
[02:19] <bella-t> ok
[02:19] <stlsaint> bella-t: did you ever comment out those lines i asked you to?
[02:20] <bella-t> i don't undrestand !
[02:21] <bella-t> i've wrote the commends
[02:22] <bella-t> because may be i'll need them later
[02:22] <bella-t> is that what you're asking for ?
[02:26] <stlsaint> yes did you have # next to the last entries
[02:29] <bella-t> ya these commands were very helpful for me
[02:31] <bella-t> i think the key of this problem is to get back the old version of the /etc/network/interfaces
[02:34] <stlsaint> thats why we comment out the lines you entered yourself
[02:37] <bella-t> ok
[02:37] <bella-t> is it possible to have a backup of a file in such case
[02:38] <bella-t> i've commented the lines that i've added now
[02:38] <stlsaint> to make a copy of it simply use the cp command as so:
[02:39] <stlsaint> cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network/interfaces.bak (or .old)
[02:41] <bella-t> not a copy but i want to know if it is possible to get an older version of a saved file
[02:41] <stlsaint> not that im aware of...once you change and save it its pretty much a done deal
[02:42] <bella-t> ah ok
[02:48] <stlsaint> bella-t: hrm
[02:48] <stlsaint> im not sure why your having a interface issue
[02:48] <bella-t> why?
[02:50] <bella-t> i think that i've used the interface which was allocated to Vbox while modifying the file interfaces
[02:51] <bella-t> probably this is the cause no ?
[02:51] <stlsaint> bella-t: i would suggest posting a thread on the ubuntu forums in the virtualization section for a more global view on your issue
[02:52] <bella-t> ok I'll post the problem in the forums but I hope that i'll find the solution
[02:52] <stlsaint>  i do too
[02:53] <stlsaint> you may be missing some kernel headers or something but i cant be sure
[02:53] <bella-t> yep maybe
[02:54] <bella-t> thank you so much for all the time you've passed with me trying to find a solution
[02:57] <stlsaint> bella-t: sorry i could not be of more help
[02:57] <bella-t> no problem if I'll find a solution i'll inform you in this channel
[02:57] <bella-t> :)
[02:58] <Cheri703> is it possible to do a sudo cp -R across an sftp link?
[02:59] <Cheri703> i.e. I want to copy my netbook stuff across to my desktop
[02:59] <Cheri703> it is saying it can't locate it
[03:15] <stlsaint> Cheri703: why not use ssh or scp?
[03:15] <Cheri703> I don't know how to use ssh to copy from one computer to another
[03:15] <Cheri703> I am working on another way of doing it, so it's not a huge deal
[03:15] <stlsaint> well how are you trying to do it then?
[03:16] <stlsaint> oh alright
[03:16] <stlsaint> afk
[05:12] <mjeamiguel> hi guys :)
[05:12] <mjeamiguel> just needed help if someone can direct me to a chennel for benchmark software?\
[05:18] <aveilleux> mjeamiguel: What kind of benchmarks?
[05:18] <mjeamiguel> hi aveilleux.. dhrystone
[05:19] <mjeamiguel> I'm just wondering if there are any channels for benchmarking in general
[05:20] <aveilleux> mjeamiguel: Not that I'm aware of, it seems too much of a niche thing to me
[05:20] <aveilleux> mjeamiguel: What do you want to know about Dhrystone?
[05:21] <mjeamiguel> I just downloaded it, i wanted to know about it in detail
[05:21] <mjeamiguel> the white paper online doesnt say much
[05:21] <aveilleux> mjeamiguel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dhrystone
[05:21] <mjeamiguel> lol
[05:21] <aveilleux> mjeamiguel: When in doubt, wiki it!
[05:21] <mjeamiguel> hahahah..did that already but thanks
[05:21] <mjeamiguel> :)
[05:22] <mjeamiguel> do you think phoronix channel might know?
[05:22] <mjeamiguel> i mean
[05:22] <mjeamiguel> channels
[05:23] <aveilleux> mjeamiguel: I'm sure they have a better understanding of it than I do.
[05:23] <mjeamiguel> aveilleux cool! thanks so much for your help :)
[05:23] <aveilleux> mjeamiguel: No problem
[07:18] <UndiFineD> good morning
[07:20] <geekosopher> good afternoon UndiFineD
[08:29] <Puck`> good morning team
[08:41] <nlsthzn> Puck`: Top of the morning to you :D
[08:41] <Puck`> why thank you (:
[09:08] <bioterror>  /27
[10:36] <UndiFineD> :)
[10:42] <nlsthzn> :/
[10:43] <head_victim> :\
[10:51] <bioterror> wutz so funny?
[11:00] <nlsthzn> The interwebs
[11:13] <andyport> I'm trying to load the netbook version of Ubuntu on to my Acer One Aspire netbook but it won't boot from a USB stick, any ideas?
[11:19] <nlsthzn> andyport: What did you use to make the USB bootable?
[11:20] <andyport> I followed the instructions on the Ubuntu download site
[11:20] <andyport> my problem is that I cannot select to boot from a USB stick on the netbook
[11:20] <nlsthzn> andyport: Check and make sure that booting from USB is enabled in your bios
[11:20] <nlsthzn> bbl, lunch time now ;) hope you get it working
[11:28] <head_victim> andyport: when you boot up with the USB plugged in if you hit F12 it should give you a list of devices to boot from correct?
[11:29] <andyport> yes it does but it lists USB DVD drive, USB FDD but not USB stick that I can see
[11:29] <andyport> I tried USB FDD but it didn't work
[11:30] <head_victim> Does selecting the USB DVD drive do anything?
[11:30] <andyport> I've tried creating an ISO DVD from the netbook ISO file but that doesn't work either, it talks to the DVD but nothing happens
[11:34] <head_victim> andyport: sorry was just checking some forum posts, no one else is mentioning any problems so looking further
[11:34] <andyport> OK thanks
[11:35] <head_victim> andyport: http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/ubuntu-netbook-remix-acer-aspire-one-netbook there is a section in about the third paragraph about what you need to do in the bios if that helps
[11:36] <andyport> thanks, I'll take look
[11:39] <Puck`> is anyone around who can help me out with the Wiki?
[11:39] <Puck`> ubuntu Wiki, login problems
[11:41] <head_victim> Puck`: I had some a little while ago wasn't sure if it was just me or not, I reset my password and it let me ok then so not sure
[11:43] <Puck`> head_victim: my problem is that everytime i need to log in, i have to choose another username, it doesn't let me in with the same one after logging in through launchpad
[11:44] <head_victim> Puck`: yeah that's the error it gave me. It asked me for a password to link the accounts but I couldn't get it right. I wasn't sure if it was just me (as I wasn't sure if I'd logged in on this computer before) so I just reset the password and then it worked ok.
[11:45] <Puck`> head_victim: but when i want to reset my password, i get to https://launchpad.net/+forgottenpassword, which is a 404 page, page not found ..
[11:48] <head_victim> Puck`: https://login.launchpad.net/+forgot_password

[12:50] <Tsar_Evitsa> Hi all
[12:53] <stlsaint> sup
[12:53] <Tsar_Evitsa> Doing fine, thanks, and you?
[12:53] <stlsaint> great, though only here for a brief moment
[12:53] <stlsaint> Tsar_Evitsa: anything you need assitance with?
[12:54] <Tsar_Evitsa> I would like to become a developer/more active in the community  and I was advised to check out things here first
[12:54] <Tsar_Evitsa> So here I am :P
[13:00] <stlsaint> Tsar_Evitsa: oh awesome
[13:00] <dog_> could someone direct me to the # that covers panel volume control missing?
[13:02] <Tsar_Evitsa> Thanks. It's a bit unclear how to get started though. There is a clear guide on how to register and how to install the tools etc, but not really on how to get involved
[13:03] <stlsaint> Tsar_Evitsa: started in ubuntu dev?
[13:03] <stlsaint> dog_: you looking to file a bug?
[13:04] <Tsar_Evitsa> Yes there, and the group that does the packaging, that's also interesting to me
[13:04] <dog_> I'm not sure.  I installed 1004 from factory disk and when I upgraded to 1010, the volume control in the panel disappeared
[13:04] <stlsaint> Tsar_Evitsa: well we have a -dev channel but its not dedicated to packaging
[13:04] <stlsaint> Tsar_Evitsa: maybe interested in the MOTU
[13:05] <stlsaint> dog_: have you tried adding it back through panel options
[13:05] <Tsar_Evitsa> Yes, the dev channel I am also already, I'll find more info on MOTU. Thanks
[13:05] <dog_> I didn't see that listed in panel options.  what is it called?
[13:08] <head_victim> dog_: it's a part of the indicator applet
[13:10] <dog_> OK,head_victim, I found it.  I really appreciate the help
[13:10] <head_victim> dog_: we do what we can :)
[13:11] <dog_> Actually, I think this may be the ONLY chat I ever got legitimate information from!  Ha!  :>)
[13:12] <dog_> ...and you do it well.  Thanks again.
[13:12] <head_victim> No worries mate
[13:12] <dog_> G'day
[13:54] <jappie> I am having trouble installing (or actually rjunning) google earth in Ubuntu 10.10. I followed instructions via http://labtu.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-install-google-earth-in-ubuntu.html and it seems to go ok. It installs Google Earth but when I launch it, it opens for a few seconds and then it closes...any ideas/solutions?
[13:59] <head_victim> jappie: I'm not 100% certain myself but post #9 of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1595339 might give you some hints

[15:36] <Silver_Fox_> Hello.
[15:36] <aveilleux> 'lo Silver_Fox_
[15:37] <jledbetter> Hello Silver_Fox_
[15:51] <vu1kan> Whenever I reboot my tower I have to redefine my multimedia keys(i.e. play/pause, vol +/-) in gnome-keybinding-properties.  If I don't redefine them, the pc doesn't respond when I press any of the media buttons.  Both before and after I redefine them, the entry under "shortcut" is the same for each key(XF86"Something", such as XF86AudioPlay)...is there something I should be doing to 'keep' the keybindings after a reboot?  I should note that no
[15:52] <geekosopher> vu1kan: are you using kubuntu?
[15:53] <vu1kan> nope, ubuntu 10.04
[15:53] <geekosopher> vu1kan: then asking in #ubuntu would be your best bet
[15:53] <geirha> vu1kan: It should save those immediately after setting them. Maybe you don't have write permissions.
[15:54] <paultag> vu1kan, interesting
[15:54] <vu1kan> i've asked there, with no response...i popped over here while waiting a decent amount of time to repost my q
[15:54] <geirha> vu1kan: In a terminal, does this command output anything?   find . ! -user "$USER" -print
[15:54] <paultag> vu1kan, the entry should look like XF86* -- those are the extra keys on the keyboard
[15:54] <geirha> err,  find ~ ! -user "$USER" -print
[15:55] <vu1kan> geirha: it outputs alot
[15:56] <geirha> vu1kan: That means you have files in your homedir which are not owned by you. A typical reason for that is running something as root (with sudo) that shouldn't be run as root.
[15:57] <paultag> geirha, you rock, great call
[15:57] <geirha> vu1kan: If the directories gnome-keyboard-properties need to save to are not owned by you, it won't manage to save those settings.
[15:57] <vu1kan> most of the files it was returning are from playing around with UCK
[15:59] <geirha> vu1kan:   sudo chown -R "$USER:" "$HOME"   #should fix that issue.
[15:59] <geirha> paultag: I'm more into jazz actually ;P
[15:59] <paultag> geirha, :)
[16:01] <geekosopher> oops! my attention was divided between here and tv, didn't notice I was on #ubuntu-beginners, thought that I was on #kubuntu, sorry vu1kan :)
[16:02] <vu1kan> geirha: it appeared to resolve correctly...i'm gonna reboot and see if it works
[16:02] <geirha> vu1kan: Logging out and back in again should be sufficient to test.
[16:02] <vu1kan> that's what i ment
[16:02] <paultag> geekosopher, It's OK. No harm no foul
[16:02] <vu1kan> bad habits left over from windoze
[16:05] <vu1kan> geirha: worked like a charm, thanks much
[16:06] <geirha> vu1kan: Great. :)
[16:33] <PhantomString> Has anyone came across the problem of your wireless interface just disappearing?
[17:13] <jledbetter> PhantomString, No, I haven't but you might want to try #ubuntu
