| babymammothlives | hello, im trying to change my ip on my cable ISP. It works on windows but i cant get ubuntu 10.10 to take this comman -> ifdown eth0 | 09:33 |
| bioterror | sudo ifconfig eth0 down | 09:33 |
| bioterror | sudo ifconfig eth0 up | 09:33 |
| babymammothlives | ok, let me test n ty | 09:34 |
| bioterror | and I believe that will not change your protocol from v4 to v56 ;) | 09:34 |
| bioterror | v6 even | 09:34 |
| bioterror | usually ISP's has some sort of lease time for the ip addresses... ;) | 09:36 |
| babymammothlives | that did disconnect my lan and i was able to reconnect | 09:38 |
| babymammothlives | but the ip stays the same | 09:38 |
| bioterror | ofcourse | 09:38 |
| bioterror | your isp has a lease time for a mac address | 09:38 |
| babymammothlives | yes, but cant i spoof my address ? | 09:39 |
| babymammothlives | i tried it once and it didn't do much but stop some functions on my computer | 09:39 |
| bioterror | did you get banned from 4chan or why you want another ip address | 09:40 |
| babymammothlives | im just wondering why it wont allot me to use this ifdown eth0 | 09:40 |
| babymammothlives | funny enough | 09:40 |
| babymammothlives | i read this guy had gotten banned from 4chan and was trying to do the same on the ubuntu forums | 09:40 |
| bioterror | did you use sudo | 09:40 |
| babymammothlives | ive tried typing sudo in front of it, yes | 09:41 |
| babymammothlives | ifdown: failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate: Permission denied | 09:43 |
| babymammothlives | i read that i may have to do it in root and i have no idea what that means | 09:44 |
| babymammothlives | These commands should be executed as root or via sudo <--this is what i read | 09:45 |
| bioterror | yes | 09:49 |
| dustring010 | HOWDY! any grub experts here? | 10:05 |
| MrChrisDruif | dustring010: Not me, but what do you want to know? | 10:07 |
| dustring010 | well everytime there is a kernel update or something grub add 2 more linux entries to itself.... | 10:07 |
| MrChrisDruif | Maybe that is because the older kernel are still on your system :) | 10:08 |
| dustring010 | im at 8 entries already... 4 if u dont count the safe modes... | 10:08 |
| dustring010 | well how do i remove them? | 10:08 |
| MrChrisDruif | Search in Synaptic for linux-headers if I'm not mistaking :) | 10:09 |
| MrChrisDruif | And ofc only selected the old ones....the newest you should keep | 10:10 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hai hajour :) | 10:10 |
| dustring010 | lol | 10:10 |
| MrChrisDruif | Just making sure ;) | 10:11 |
| dustring010 | theres a ton.... im unsure of what to remove safely | 10:12 |
| MrChrisDruif | I'll have a looksy myself... | 10:13 |
| dustring010 | lol ty | 10:13 |
| MrChrisDruif | I've only got these (linux-headers-2.6.35-24-generic, linux-headers-2.6.35-24, linux-headers-generic) marked as installed with these versions (2.6.35-24.42, 2.6.35-24.42, 2.6.35.24.28) behind them :) | 10:16 |
| dustring010 | nvm | 10:16 |
| MrChrisDruif | You've found it? | 10:17 |
| dustring010 | some one told me how ty vm | 10:17 |
| dustring010 | yes | 10:17 |
| MrChrisDruif | As long as your problem is solved :) | 10:18 |
| dustring010 | tyvm have a wonderful day | 10:22 |
| MrChrisDruif | You too :D | 10:22 |
| yofel | MrChrisDruif: the headers should get removed on update, what says are the images (linux-image-2.6.35-XX-generic) [for safety reasons] | 10:27 |
| yofel | s/says/stays/ | 10:27 |
| MrChrisDruif | So linux-image should be removed instead to remove them from grub? (I never see grub, so I don't know | 10:30 |

| joe_happy | and it also has happened to my with other commands | 16:34 |

| johnny77 | My update manager is not working. It tells me that there are updates, but does nothing when I click install. | 17:32 |
| holstein | johnny77: try restarting the manager | 17:33 |
| holstein | and make sure you get your pass right | 17:33 |
| holstein | that would be my first guess | 17:33 |
| johnny77 | holstein: update manager is supposed to ask for a password? well it's not. I bet that is the problem. How do I get it to ask? | 17:34 |
| holstein | johnny77: you can always logout | 17:35 |
| holstein | and back in | 17:35 |
| holstein | if that is easiest | 17:36 |
| holstein | personnally | 17:36 |
| holstein | i just wouldnt worry about the updates right now | 17:36 |
| holstein | OR | 17:36 |
| holstein | i would close it | 17:36 |
| holstein | and run sudo apt-get update | 17:36 |
| holstein | then sudo apt-get upgrade | 17:36 |
| johnny77 | holstein: This has been happening for a while... I have been using update/upgrade, but it would be nice if I could get update-manager to do it. | 17:38 |
| holstein | eh | 17:38 |
| holstein | i turn it off | 17:38 |
| holstein | i think its nice not to be hassled by it | 17:38 |
| Dangr_ | holstein: is there a downside at all to using the update manager | 17:38 |
| holstein | and choose when i want it to run | 17:38 |
| holstein | Dangr_: in theory, no | 17:38 |
| holstein | unless an update breaks something | 17:39 |
| holstein | OR if the update manager is working in the background, and you dont want it to be | 17:39 |
| holstein | johnny77: you can try running update-manager from the terminal | 17:40 |
| holstein | see you you get helpful error output there | 17:40 |
| johnny77 | it looks like for some reason update-manager is not automatically asking for the password. If I typed in gksu update-manager it forced it to ask for a password. Is there a file somewhere that specifies which programs need to be run as a super user? | 17:48 |
| Cheri703 | I have an update manager question too... | 17:50 |
| Cheri703 | mine is saying "to install all updates, do a partial upgrade" | 17:50 |

| sssssssss | hey so i cannot connect to the internet on my linux comp because it does not have wireless capability and it is far from my router so i connected an ethernet cable between that and my macbook and set up a network i think anyway my macbook says the ethernet port is connected while my linux comp still does not get internet please and thank you | 19:22 |
| ibuclaw | sssssssss, is that a question? | 19:23 |
| sssssssss | yeah sry i need help | 19:23 |
| sssssssss | i have a broken hand so it took me forevr to type | 19:23 |
| holstein | sssssssss: easiest way is to get internet to the machine wired | 19:24 |
| holstein | i would try restarting the machine | 19:24 |
| sssssssss | i know but my router is so far away | 19:24 |
| sssssssss | ok | 19:24 |
| holstein | im not sure how that gets set up in OSX | 19:24 |
| sssssssss | what the network | 19:24 |
| holstein | SO, we dont know if its the wired card in buntu | 19:24 |
| holstein | OR the config in OSX | 19:24 |
| holstein | you can DL what you need on the macbook | 19:25 |
| holstein | and transfer them to the buntu machine with a USB stick or whatever | 19:25 |
| sssssssss | yeah i guess | 19:25 |
| sssssssss | i think its the config in ubuntu | 19:26 |
| sssssssss | cause it says its not configured | 19:26 |
| holstein | sssssssss: you just plugged it in | 19:26 |
| sssssssss | but im n ot sure y | 19:26 |
| holstein | so there is no config in buntu yet | 19:26 |
| holstein | if the macbook is sending it, the buntu box *should* be seeing and using it | 19:27 |
| Dangr_ | sssssssss: Is your Mac configured to have Internet sharing? | 19:27 |
| sssssssss | idk | 19:27 |
| sssssssss | how would i check | 19:27 |
| Dangr_ | sssssssss: System Preferences > Sharing | 19:27 |
| Dangr_ | It should be listed in the left column | 19:27 |
| Dangr_ | sssssssss: hopefully that will fix it | 19:28 |
| Dangr_ | sssssssss: I haven't tried it before this way but who knows - hopefully that is all there is to it | 19:28 |
| sssssssss | i did turn on sharing and i did also set up the network settings in ubuntu my macbook says its connected | 19:30 |
| sssssssss | but it still doesnt work | 19:30 |
| Dangr_ | Hmm | 19:31 |
| sssssssss | im | 19:31 |
| sssssssss | 19:31 | |
| holstein | sssssssss: do you have any other wired internet device? | 19:31 |
| holstein | to plug into the macbook | 19:31 |
| holstein | so you know that it is doing the job | 19:31 |
| sssssssss | i dont know how to seup netwroks i just googled how to set up a quick one | 19:31 |
| holstein | right | 19:32 |
| sssssssss | one sec | 19:32 |
| holstein | that would be my first point of trouble-shooting | 19:32 |
| Dangr_ | sssssssss: http://superuser.com/questions/141407/share-internet-via-ethernet-from-mac-osx-to-ubuntu-10-04 | 19:32 |
| Dangr_ | Seems like they are looking for something similar | 19:32 |
| * bioterror notices that his beachball senses are tingling ;) | 19:32 | |
| holstein | you have an unknown box on an unknown network | 19:32 |
| holstein | bioterror: hehe, beach-ball ;) | 19:33 |
| holstein | sssssssss: unless the router is up on the roof | 19:33 |
| bioterror | sssssssss, first of all: edit your /etc/samba/smb.conf | 19:33 |
| holstein | i think the easiest way it to plug right into the router | 19:33 |
| bioterror | put correct workgroup and so on | 19:33 |
| holstein | easiest by 90% or so id say | 19:34 |
| sssssssss | nope | 19:34 |
| bioterror | I cant remember how os x handled shares | 19:34 |
| bioterror | o yeah | 19:34 |
| bioterror | you had to connect with hostname/ip address | 19:34 |
| holstein | bioterror: sssssssss is trying to pass the internet through to the buntu machine | 19:35 |
| bioterror | smb://ip-address/share/ | 19:35 |
| holstein | the buntu box is not ont he network yet | 19:35 |
| holstein | has no connection | 19:35 |
| sssssssss | wait what should i do first | 19:35 |
| holstein | sssssssss: walk to the router ;) | 19:35 |
| bioterror | read basics of networking | 19:36 |
| sssssssss | haha i get it but its a desktop and the routeris upstairs | 19:36 |
| sssssssss | ok | 19:36 |
| sssssssss | well this is what i did http://www.wikihow.com/Connect-Two-Computers | 19:36 |
| sssssssss | haha i guess its probably wroong for what im doing | 19:37 |
| holstein | http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=mac/10.5/en/8156.html | 19:37 |
| holstein | sssssssss: you're not connecting 2 computers | 19:37 |
| holstein | necessarly | 19:37 |
| holstein | you need the internet to be shared | 19:38 |
| sssssssss | what is the difference they both have 2 ip addresses on a network right? i mean idk but it looked good to me | 19:38 |
| holstein | on the mac | 19:38 |
| sssssssss | and i did turn on sharing | 19:38 |
| holstein | the mac will recieve the internet via wifi | 19:38 |
| holstein | and act as a router | 19:38 |
| holstein | sharing the connection with the machine on the wired device | 19:38 |
| holstein | im not sure what the process is like on OSX | 19:39 |
| sssssssss | yes the mac is the router and is using airport and yes sharing for the wired connecting | 19:39 |
| holstein | right | 19:39 |
| holstein | not connecting the 2 machines together | 19:39 |
| holstein | thats not the goal | 19:40 |
| holstein | file-sharing | 19:40 |
| sssssssss | it seems pretty easy i think its something very stupid that i didnt do | 19:40 |
| holstein | the goal is internet sharing | 19:40 |
| holstein | 2 totally differnt things | 19:40 |
| holstein | that can be mutually exculsive | 19:40 |
| holstein | exclusive* | 19:40 |
| holstein | you need to reduce the variables | 19:41 |
| holstein | you need to either confirm that osx is sharing the network and acting as a router | 19:41 |
| holstein | OR confirm that the buntu box's wired device is working properly | 19:41 |
| sssssssss | when i go to networ settings on the ubuntu machine and go to the hosts tab i dont see me macbook though i dont know if it should be there or not | 19:41 |
| holstein | right now, you cant say which is failing | 19:41 |
| holstein | sssssssss: you wont | 19:42 |
| holstein | it'll just see network | 19:42 |
| holstein | like its a router | 19:42 |
| holstein | when you have the mac properly sharing its network connection | 19:42 |
| holstein | you'll just have internet on the buntu box | 19:43 |
| holstein | IF the wired device is being used properly by buntu | 19:43 |
| sssssssss | ok | 19:43 |
| sssssssss | if i do what it says on the thing i was reading it said to ping to see it h=the connection it there what should i then be looking for | 19:45 |
| * holstein shrugs | 19:45 | |
| Dangr_ | Ummm | 19:45 |
| holstein | the ip address? | 19:45 |
| Dangr_ | Well I guess you can ping the computer (mac) | 19:45 |
| Dangr_ | and see if that comes back | 19:45 |
| sssssssss | k | 19:46 |
| sssssssss | also if they are connected at all wouldnt i be able to see like a network place on my macbook | 19:46 |
| holstein | nah | 19:47 |
| holstein | thats not set up yet | 19:47 |
| Dangr_ | probably not | 19:47 |
| Dangr_ | yeah | 19:47 |
| holstein | and is not the same at all | 19:47 |
| holstein | you're just trying to get internet | 19:47 |
| holstein | that can be passed through the mac, or any other device acting as a router | 19:48 |
| sssssssss | ok well what i meant was maybe i set it up for the wrong thing | 19:48 |
| holstein | and not give you access to 'shares' or 'network places' | 19:48 |
| Dangr_ | Does Ubuntu have a feature like that? Is there a package or system setting for Internet sharing? | 19:48 |
| Dangr_ | I don't even know, now I'm curious | 19:48 |
| holstein | Dangr_: yes | 19:48 |
| holstein | ive used the printer one | 19:48 |
| holstein | back in 9.10 | 19:48 |
| holstein | worked nice | 19:48 |
| holstein | still working nice * | 19:49 |
| Dangr_ | printer as in sharing printers | 19:49 |
| sssssssss | my frind has a bunch of mac windows and linux comps all sharing the same internet through one comp running osx | 19:49 |
| holstein | sssssssss: thats who i would ask | 19:49 |
| sssssssss | yeah hes busy cant talk haha | 19:49 |
| holstein | your friend would know how to conigure your OSX box to act as a router | 19:49 |
| aveilleux | sssssssss: Wirelessly? Because wireless Internet sharing is easy. | 19:50 |
| holstein | should be easy as http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=mac/10.5/en/8156.html though | 19:50 |
| sssssssss | no he has a wired connected between them all | 19:50 |
| holstein | aveilleux: needs to provide wired to buntu | 19:50 |
| holstein | in this case | 19:50 |
| aveilleux | holstein: I know, I'm saying his friend who uses OSX as a router might just share the connection wirelessly. | 19:50 |
| sssssssss | anyway when i ping the me=acbook from the buntu it says set 54 packets and then says 64bytes from the ip address of my macbook the icmp_req=some number ttl=64 and the time | 19:51 |
| === JackyAlcine-AFK is now known as JackyAlcine | ||

| Dangr_ | Possibly | 20:04 |
| Dangr_ | One sec theres a page for that | 20:04 |
| Dangr_ | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported | 20:05 |
| Dangr_ | That should help - its what I used to buy my card | 20:05 |
| sssssssss | haha thanks i should have just googled it and the thing is i bought this a while ago so i guess ill just check if its supported | 20:05 |
| Dangr_ | sssssssss: Also I haven't tried this but I found this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 20:06 |
| sssssssss | thank u Dangr_: | 20:07 |
| Dangr_ | No problem | 20:08 |
| sssssssss | Dangr_ so i went to the wireless card link then the first likn to see if my card is supported and it is not but then it says there are drivers avalible at a link what does that mean | 20:15 |
| Dangr_ | Well it means it could work | 20:16 |
| Dangr_ | Is your card in the computer ? | 20:16 |
| sssssssss | yeah | 20:16 |
| Dangr_ | Have you tried looking for proprietary drivers | 20:16 |
| sssssssss | but how could it not be supported but there are drivers | 20:16 |
| sssssssss | well im at a website that is said to have them | 20:16 |
| Dangr_ | Whats the page you are at | 20:17 |
| sssssssss | http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo it is a how to on the driver haha | 20:18 |
| sssssssss | the link was from the ubuntu supported card page | 20:18 |
| Dangr_ | Looks like it could be useful | 20:19 |
| Dangr_ | But I'm not sure since I haven't had to do this before, sorry. I bought a card from the supported list so I wouldn't have to go through it :P | 20:20 |
| Dangr_ | But you did try to see if the card worked at all and it doesnt? | 20:20 |

| _spacer_ | i am currently connected via ssh to my home computer running ubuntu. how can i force a gnome-terminal to open up on the home pc | 20:25 |
| Dangr_ | Oh, uh idk never thought to do that | 20:25 |

| paultag | _spacer_: export DISPLAY=:0.0 | 20:26 |
| paultag | _spacer_: then run "firefox http://porn.site.com", then barge in | 20:26 |
| paultag | _spacer_: and accuse him of watching porm | 20:26 |
| paultag | porn * | 20:26 |
| _spacer_ | lets have a go....too funny, but i dont want to scar him | 20:27 |
| paultag | where porn.site.com is a real porn site ;) | 20:27 |
| _spacer_ | i got that | 20:27 |
| paultag | _spacer_: if you run the "export DISPLAY=:0.0.", as the local logged in user, you can throw open X windows | 20:27 |
| paultag | _spacer_: just be sure to export, and run as his local user | 20:27 |
| paultag | in opposite order | 20:28 |
| _spacer_ | ok lets try | 20:28 |
| paultag | sudo su bobby # if he's bobby | 20:28 |
| paultag | export DISPLAY=:0.0 | 20:28 |
| paultag | firefox http://thewillpower.org | 20:28 |
| paultag | be sure to use `alsamixer' to turn his speakers up | 20:29 |
| ibuclaw | _spacer_, ssh I.P.Add -u username -X firefox http://porn.site :) | 20:33 |
| paultag | ibuclaw: that pops it up local you twisted lamer! | 20:33 |

| NutsAboutUbuntu | I guess we can connect the speaker output to the microphone input, of a laptop, in order to record what is being played by the laptop. Is it possible to do without the cable? In other words, is it possible to record something the laptop is playing through an internal connection? | 21:08 |

| aveilleux | jasono: Why? | 21:39 |
| jasono | I cannot follow the instructions. | 21:40 |

| jasono | Uncomprehendable in the format given. | 21:41 |
