[01:17] oh ok [01:18] I don't believe you can generate a livecd from an installed system [01:18] should i download it in windows since or does it matter [01:18] (again, someone may correct me) [01:18] doesn't matter, it's a full iso [01:18] kk [01:21] thanks === undifined_ is now known as UndiFineD === pleia2_ is now known as pleia2 === zkriesse is now known as loomsenn === loomsenn is now known as zkriesse [03:19] does anyone know how to downgrade to 10.4?

[03:54] GPG isn't necessarilly a program...it's the option to make a GPG key [03:55] that's all? [03:55] Well I did a class on making GPG keys if you care to look at it [03:56] Id like that very much - thanks === Izinucs_ is now known as Scunizi [03:56] beachbuddah: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/08/07/%23ubuntu-classroom.html [03:57] thanks for the link...one other question before I go - how do you get my nick and the colon before your message to me?

I use both chrome and firefox and the same problem is in both browsers. I have tried to find a solution but so far, nothing... [07:09] Hello, As you can tell by my being here, I'm pretty new to this. I'm running Apache as a web server, and trying to figure out how to access my site files via ftp. I'm not getting very far. [07:13] dentedfxp: welcome. You need to have an FTP server running on that machine too, like proftpd [07:14] OK, so Apache doesn't come with then? [07:14] can I apt-get it? [07:14] nope, apache is just a http server [07:14] sure you can, apt-get install proftpd [07:15] cool... I'll be back, more than likely, thank you [07:15] the username and password for the connection will be then one you logged in to ubuntu, or the one you have for ubuntu [07:15] makes sense, I suppose [07:15] thanks. [07:16] for some it's not,s o i was just making sure before you bump in to it, but you're welcome (: [07:20] OK, it says "ProFTPd is started from inetd/xinetd." Like I said, I'm new to this... do I launch it from the Terminal? Because I don't see it in my Applications drop-down. [07:29] it's a daemon [07:30] it's not launched from any menu's [07:30] it's a service === dentedfxp is now known as huge-n00b [07:32] huge-n00b, I have a question [07:32] why ftp and not sftp? [07:32] shoot [07:33] good question. I'm running the site off my local host, what are the advantages of sftp? Security? [07:34] yes, security [07:34] all the transfers, even the login is encrypted [07:34] ahhhh [07:34] it uses sshd [07:34] and if you're running a server, you usually have a sshd running [07:37] hey [07:37] I just set up httpd last night, one site, single default page, I hate to admit it in public, but I've been using Micro$oft stuff for 20 years, and I'm JUST starting to experiment with Linux... you coulf fill a planet with what I don't know [07:38] funny [07:38] well [07:39] microsoft lacks with everything that has something to do with security :D [07:39] well aware of that :D [07:39] I would use Windows 7 if it has a sshd by default [07:39] working one [07:43] ubuntu just does it for alot of thingd [07:43] things [08:35] elfy [08:35] morning [08:35] hi [08:42] huge-n00b, did you figure out how to use sftp?

[22:12] just so i know what your asking, you want me to run dmsg command and paste to the ubutnu-past or where you asking about the eth0 current settings?
