[02:04] guys, what happen to openoffice.org? why does it 'change' into LibreOffice? [02:07] http://www.zdnet.co.uk/blogs/communication-breakdown-10000030/german-openoffice-devs-defect-to-libreoffice-10020936/ [02:07] i thought i was hearing it was more than that though [02:07] but the news says its just a fork [02:09] hey. [02:10] got a question involving DOS. can anyone help me? i know its not Linux related. [02:11] Red-Raven, doubt if I can answer it but go ahead [02:12] it wont recognize any command using java. all i need it for is installing the Minecraft server nit-wit. [02:13] and, yes, jave is currnet. [02:13] java* [02:14] Red-Raven, did you ever install the ubuntu-restricted-extras [02:14] what? [02:15] Red-Raven, run that set with the sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras in the terminal [02:15] ok what is it? [02:15] nit-wit [02:15] Red-Raven, I belive java is in there [02:16] no im havingthis problem in Win7. [02:16] Red-Raven, oh sorry can't help there [02:16] oh.... ok. [02:17] its alright [02:17] Red-Raven, I just logged on if you mentioned the W7 part,thanks for the condolences :) [02:18] oh no i hadn't. i just htought DOS would mean it must be in windows. [02:22] off to paruse the WWW for the solution then. cyw. [02:34] hello, I just moved apartments and changed from a static ip to auto DHCP, I entered sudo iptables --flush expecting it to connect automatically but it won't and none of the forums have helped, any ideas? [02:37] when i run ifconfig -a i get both network cards (autoeth0, autoeth1) but they do not show up in the network connections GUI [02:37] all that is displayed in the GUI is ifupdown(eth0) [02:40] pointydrip, cant you just right click the icon edit connections click on the wireless and change it to dhcp [02:40] *wireless icon [02:40] it's a wired connection [02:41] and yes, but usually it displays the network adapter such as auto eth0 [02:41] pointydrip, okay thw wired icon [02:43] when I add a connection how do I direct it to eth0 [02:44] pointydrip, what distro do you have [02:44] 10.04 [02:46] pointydrip, if your plugged in you should be seeing the etho hook up from the edit. I have not had a problem in this area for awhile so I'm a bit slow but is it working, and do you have this set like this.http://imagebin.org/130578 [02:47] http://imagebin.org/130578 [02:47] pointydrip: you dont have a router? [02:47] i dont know how anyone can operate without a router ;) [02:47] holstein, good question:) [02:48] yes I have a router automatic DHCP [02:48] the router should be doing the same thing it was doing at the other place [02:48] as far as your buntu box is concerned [02:48] nit-wit: network conections looks the same [02:48] but there's no auto eth0 [02:48] maybe you need to change the settings in the router [02:48] it doesnt show up [02:49] maybe you shook the PCI card loose in the move [02:49] no the router is fine if plug the same eth line into my exbox it runs right away [02:49] right [02:50] the xbox didnt care [02:50] its just taking what the router is sending [02:50] so should the buntu box [02:50] pointydrip: you got 2 NIC's? [02:50] have you tried them both? [02:51] exactly, I previously had the exbox running through my ubuntu machine because only one line was available [02:51] in the new place i ran seperate wires, when I reset iptables something happened [02:51] im unclear why you need to mess with iptables [02:51] i just plug it in [02:52] i have some static IP's running here [02:52] but for the most part [02:52] i just plug it in [02:52] maybe you can just undo some of the customization [02:52] and get a network connection [02:52] yes i ran iptables --flush [02:52] and work from there with whatever you need to do [02:53] now auto eth0 doesnt show up [02:53] ifconfig -a looks normal [02:54] is there a way to reinstall network devices? [02:55] wat do you mean pointydrip ? [02:55] sorry, ive never needed to use iptables [02:55] i was just browsing the man page [02:55] when i open network connections where it used to say auto eth0 there is nothing [02:55] pointydrip: have you logged out? [02:55] but ifconfig says its there [02:55] and back in? [02:56] yes [02:56] hmmm [02:56] the problem arose when I deleted eth1, which is my second ethernet device [02:57] eth0 disapeared with it [02:57] why/how did you delete it? [02:57] maybe you could get a live CD out [02:57] run that [02:57] and look at the setup [02:57] yes I have that [02:57] and learn how to undo whatever has been done [02:57] ive never worked with the live cd like that... [02:58] pastebin what is in your interfaces file [02:58] i've got synaptic open but I have no idea what to do [02:59] which package to install that is [02:59] id say close synaptic [02:59] the only package you should need to isntall would be whatever you uninstalled [02:59] IF you need some extra firmware to use your device [02:59] but i dought that is the case [03:00] probably just something simple that thewrath could help with after taking a look at your interfaces file [03:00] perhaps if I reinstall iptables? [03:01] iptables is just a firewall like program [03:01] that *should* not have anything to do with it [03:02] okay, network manager then? [03:02] perhaps, as thewrath suggested, "cat /etc/network/interfaces" in the terminal (without quotes) and pastebin to http://paste.ubuntu.com ? [03:02] lets see that and we will discuss that [03:02] okay ill try that...give me a minute im rebooting [03:05] Hello Everyone [03:06] hey! [03:06] gotta love WALLCHAN [03:07] http://paste.ubuntu.com/549431/ [03:08] okay.... [03:08] pointydrip, did you reboot you server? [03:08] or computer [03:08] computer [03:08] in network manager is eth0 there? [03:08] no [03:08] can you add an interface to that link [03:08] because it looks fin in that file [03:08] *fine [03:09] not sure what you mean [03:09] i am not famliar but is there a way you can add an interface to the network manager gui? [03:10] if you use the cli it looks like the interface is installed and works [03:10] that is what I would like to do [03:10] I have Ubuntu installed and on the top panel by default there was a logout button with my user name on it. It also could control my status in empathy. I removed this icon from the toolbar. Does anyone know the command to put it back on? [03:10] what is empathy? [03:11] johnny77: right click panel > Add to panel > Indicator Applet Session [03:11] thewrath: the default messenger for ubuntu. [03:11] JoeMaverickSett: Thank you. [03:11] johnny77: you're welcome. :) [03:12] thanks JoeMaverickSett [03:12] JoeMaverickSett: is there a way to get the logout menu without the username part? [03:12] johnny77: shutdown would do i think [03:12] johnny77: instead of Indicator Applet session add shutdown [03:13] any ideas on how to add auto eth0 to network connections? [03:13] JoeMaverickSett: thank you again. [03:13] johnny77: :) [03:15] pointydrip: right click network icon on panel > edit connections > Wired tab > Add , might do? [03:16] no there's nothing to point a new connection to the network device, not that i know of [03:16] pointydrip: 21:56 < pointydrip> the problem arose when I deleted eth1, which is my second ethernet device [03:16] i think you should elaborate on that process [03:17] pointydrip: i assume you've plugged the network cable into both NIC's? [03:18] i clicked on eth1 in network connections, on the right hand side there is add, edit and delete buttons...I pressed delete. Rebooted. Ubuntu is supposed to detect it automatically again on reboot, but it didn't. and also auto eth0 was gone [03:19] and you've gone through the 'add' process with no luck? [03:19] that is correct [03:20] but ubuntu should simply recognize auto eth0 and auto eth1 [03:20] your ifconfig is normal, right? shows eth0 and stuff? [03:20] and no network connection plugging the cable in to either one [03:20] true [03:21] but you've asked network manager to not see it [03:21] hmmm [03:21] "sudo dhclinet3 eth0"? according to this problem; http://superuser.com/questions/44312/command-line-connect-to-wired-network-for-ubuntu [03:22] says dhclinet3 command not found [03:23] pointydrip: use tab complete [03:23] m@zagnut:~$ dhclient3 [03:23] doh, it's dhclient3 [03:24] sorry, i typed it myself. :| [03:24] close enough ;) [03:24] well =P [03:24] for us, not buntu [03:24] it was simply dhclient [03:25] they are different [03:25] theres both [03:25] probably want dhclient3 [03:28] joemavericksett: I got the same error message as on your link [03:34] dhclient failed... [03:36] is that dhclient3 ? [03:36] what are the error messages? [03:37] No DHCPOFFERS received, No working lesases in persistent database - sleeping [03:37] which doesnt make sense because I can plug anything else into the router and it works [03:38] I just double checked the router everything is fine [03:39] well, if it were me, id probably try removing some variables [03:39] maybe get down to one nic [03:39] run a live CD [03:40] make sure that its working [03:40] then boot up the box [03:40] get that one nic online [03:40] and add the other one back in if needed [03:40] ...I'm trying to do that but my disk drive wont work [03:40] wat do you mean your disk drive wont work [03:40] hmmm [03:41] It was working before the network problem [03:41] *wasn not [03:41] in that case, i would definetly spend some time rulling out a hardware issue [03:41] define working [03:41] does the O/S find it? [03:41] some times [03:41] probably connection issue [03:41] all of this could be a motherboard failing [03:41] or may be resolv.conf doesn't have the ip of the router/modem? [03:41] is this a VM or no? [03:42] Joeb454, it could be a resolv.conf but that would explain why eth0 was no tin the network config [03:42] no VM [03:42] thewrath: it's JoeMaverickSett :) [03:42] it could be a hard drive controller [03:42] sorry JoeMaverickSett [03:42] :) [03:42] thewrath: say that to the other joe. =P [03:43] lol [03:44] its not the motherboard falling its the cheap disk drive which is showing up under BIOS as some strange characters [03:44] thewrath: may be see the resolv.conf? /me has no solution as google isn't showing up for that issue. :D [03:45] * JoeMaverickSett depends on google-fu. ;D [03:45] JoeMaverickSett, ? [03:45] thewrath: ah, never mind. :) [03:46] :) [03:51] bingo [03:51] dchlient worked I was just an idiot [03:52] i ran dhclient eth0 then plugged into the other adapter and ran dhclient eth1 [03:52] it just occurred to me that I had them backwards [03:53] thanks very much for the solution [03:58] okay so dhclient worked but it does not stick, any ideas on how to make it permanent? [03:58] (i have to run it at every boot) [03:59] if you got them switched [04:00] maybe you need eth1 added to interfaces [04:01] yes, I was thinking if I add a wired connection and included the mac adress, anyways thats enough troubleshooting for one day...at least I can function now Thanks again. === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as devilbot === devilbot is now known as IAmNotThatGuy [09:15] exit [09:16] stage left ... === yofel_ is now known as yofel [12:06] samsung corby pro as a 3g usb modem gsm >> facing some problems [12:10] how to do a modprobe for 3g usb mobile modem gsm [12:11] hi, what happens to the software i buy in the software center? does it stay on my ubuntu one account so i can reinstall it in the event i reinstall ubuntu? or do i have to buy it again? === MrAnthrope is now known as GreusomKitchenDe === GreusomKitchenDe is now known as MrAnthrope [12:19] There's software to buy?

[12:26] sure there are ;) [12:26] i thought we were really smart bots. :P [12:26] I'ma newbie, but have converted to Ubuntu recently, so excuse my ignorance. [12:26] Welcome to the club. [12:26] ask away [12:26] "Don't ask to ask, just ask!" [12:26] Howdy everyone [12:27] Guest31418: go to Help tab > Software Center Help > and to Topic "What if I paid for software then lost it?", i think it will answer your question. :) [12:27] I have some dumb questions, so don't laugh (too much). [12:27] thank you joe. [12:27] jermza: no1 will laugh at you [12:27] i might...not really [12:27] I often see ppl saying "nautilus".... what is that? [12:28] !nautilus | jermza [12:28] Factoid 'nautilus' not found [12:28] that is your file manager [12:28] :O [12:28] that is the window that shows you your files [12:28] Places? [12:28] ya, [12:28] jermza: a gnome software package [12:28] Is it like saying "Open Windows Explorer"? [12:29] yes [12:29] that is what it is but for ubuntu [12:29] Okay, got it. [12:29] np. [12:29] jermza: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nautilus_(file_manager) :) [12:29] and joemavericksett that was what i needed. thanks again. [12:30] :) [12:30] I have Evolution added to my Startup Applications, which is great because it opens in front of me when Ubuntu boots up. But how do I get Empathy and Gwibber to boot up on startup (without having them pop open in front of me)? [12:30] IE, How do I get them to start up in the background? [12:31] jermza: Not background, but minimized [12:32] When I do ''man empathy'' it shows an option. -h, --start-hidden Don't display the contact list or any other dialogs on startup [12:32] add them to system -> preferences ->startup [12:32] When Ubuntu boots up. Empathy and Gwibber don't start unless I manually make them. [12:32] So you probably just want to start empathy -h instead of just empathy [12:32] oh [12:33] "man empathy"? [12:33] Yes, if you open a terminal and run that, it will show you the manual for that program. [12:34] Yes, I see it in Terminal. [12:34] "Nautilus can display previews of files in their icons, be they text files, images, sound or video files via thumbnailers such as Totem. Audio files are previewed (played back over GStreamer) when the pointer is hovering over them." The first time I did that I thought I was just remembering the song in my head. [12:34] man could be the google for linux. love it [12:35] So. how do I add Empathy -h to Empathy's startup? [12:35] jermza add them to system -> preferences -> startup [12:36] jermza: empathy -h, not Empathy -h. It's case sensitive. [12:36] add it to the "command" box. [12:37] I see. Does Gwibber have a similar option? [12:37] jermza: It doesn't appear to have. But does it open a window when you run it? (I've never used it) [12:38] Yes. [12:39] try man gwibber [12:39] Logging out to test settings. Will be back shortly. :) [12:39] good luck [12:40] I just started gwibber to see. In its preferences it has a "Start on login" option. That might start it without opening the window. [12:41] It worked. :) [12:41] Thanks for your help! [12:42] i hope buying software from the software center will increase and more software will be available to buy. IE starcraft2 [12:42] no prob [12:42] Next question. [12:42] yes? [12:42] I am playing with themes. What does "Ubuntu PPA" mean? [12:43] um..anyone else want to answer that one? [12:43] I'm at gnome-look [12:43] and am reading the installation instructions [12:43] Is this serious? --> http://paste.ubuntu.com/549523/ [12:44] !PPA [12:44] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and should be used at your own risk. [12:44] arnt you on xchat now? [12:45] Yes.

[12:45] not restricted to games, anyone with a launchpad account can have a PPA [12:45] Right. [12:46] MR did you install a theme in xchat from ubuntulook? [12:46] Okay, thanks. [12:46] Manual installation is probably better then. [12:46] I'm using the Elementary theme. [12:46] for gnome. [12:46] then..where did it come up with that error? [12:47] lol that's why I asked. I mean it works and looks fine so I don't think it's a problem. [12:47] prob not but it looks like it dropped you back to the shell instead of running xchat [12:48] Yeah, it's not serious. It just can't find some component in your current theme, so it says so, then uses some default instead. [12:48] Ah, ok. [12:50] 64 days left then good by iraq. i cant wait to come home [12:50] What are you doing there? [12:50] army. [12:51] ...wait iraq has the internet?! lol jk :) [12:51] ya, but they charge $88/month for 128kb not KB. rip off [12:51] wow. [12:52] need that speed to use skype to call my wife. cant use the slower speed [12:52] hmmm.. [12:53] !IRAQ [12:53] Factoid 'IRAQ' not found [12:53] lol [12:53] Any more questions, jermza? [12:54] I'm good, for now, thanks. :-) [12:54] You've been a great help. I'll be back soon. [12:54] ok. going to eat supper. have fun yall [13:51] Back with another question, if you don't mind. [13:53] When my PC boots up, a message appears just before Ubunu's login screen appears. saying "Too many connections" (with some number right before it). [13:53] What is that? [13:54] hi [13:55] what do ya mean by a message, is it a popup or just some text? [13:55] After I turn on my machine, the usual black screen appears, with the odd text scrolling and then Ubuntu's login screen appears. [13:57] The last bit of text that appears is "Too many connections" and waits a few seconds. [13:57] Before loading Ubuntu's login screen. [13:59] Any idea what "too many connections" is? [14:07] jermza, I saw a thread similar to that. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1635278 [14:07] to change the BIOS settings [14:07] please check it === IAmNotThatGuy is now known as M0hi === sresu_ is now known as sresu [17:31] hey i know this is off-topic but can anyone help me in opening a port in windows? [17:32] i remember xp used to prompt [17:33] me? [17:33] i finally got to where i would just disable the firewall anyways [17:33] and use the one on the router [17:33] um, ok. [17:34] im not sure what the process looks like in vista or win7 [17:34] but i bet some google-fu would do you right [17:34] probably some kind of security center type thing still [17:34] you have no idea how much ive used google and other forums. this was a last resort. [17:35] interesting [17:35] whta is ? [17:35] http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Open-a-port-in-Windows-Firewall [17:36] thats pretty much the way i was imagining it working [17:36] id be totally comfortable turning te firewall off though on my home network [17:37] unless you're putting it out in your DMZ for some reason [17:39] minecraft wasn't one of the ports i could add. [17:39] ? [17:39] OH [17:40] theres a wizard or something... [17:40] minecraft should tell you the port you need [17:40] its 25565 [17:41] only if you aren't using the default (25565TCP and UDP) [17:41] http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Server [17:41] ^^ from there [17:41] SO you just put a hole at 25565 [17:41] this says both TCP and UDP [17:41] you might need to make 2 entries then [17:42] in my router, i can select both [17:42] Red-Raven: really, this will be however you did it on your router [17:42] unless your just making a local server [17:43] im using the linksys setting that you get by putting your IP in the browser [17:43] so i should select both then? [17:43] both TCP and UDP ? [17:44] thats what that wiki implies to me [17:44] ok. my ip ends in .1, so should i put .100? [17:45] well, the windows box probably wont ask for the IP [17:45] since you're doing this locally [17:45] no im using the linksys settings [17:45] on that box [17:45] it should assume that you want to configure its firewall [17:45] on the router [17:45] Red-Raven: if it ends in .1 it'd be .001, .100 is different [17:45] you'll want to forward those ports to that box [17:45] if it needs 3 digits [17:46] you might want to set the windows box to a static IP [17:46] so that it doesnt get changed [17:46] OR see if there is a setting in the router to 'reserve' the current IP for that machine [17:46] ok. im just going to try it now. [17:46] thats the IP you put in the router [17:48] ok so it wouldn't let me do .001. had to do .100 [17:48] well [17:48] is .100 the IP of the machine or not? [17:49] lets say on my network [17:49] it ends in .1 [17:49] the server is 192.168.2.123 [17:49] and i want port 12345 forwarded [17:49]
