[00:38] hey. [00:52] anyone else having flash trouble tonight (more than usual)? [00:53] ah, nm... off to bed - see ya [01:14] what's the command to connect to a local ssh server? isn't it just localhost? [01:14] hey nit-wit! [01:15] hey hows it going? [01:16] not bad. having to get used to linux again after being gone for so long. lot of personal projects kept me away for a while, but now i'm back on the ssh server. [01:18] ssh localhost [01:18] as long as your happy that is what counts.:) [01:19] well im definatly glad to be back. the personal projects were a lot of fun though and im still no where near done with them all. [01:19] thanks geirha. [01:22] ssh -p 56 localhost lets you join the local host under port 56 right? [01:24] Yes, it connects to port 56 instead of the default, 22. [01:24] weird....now i can't even connect locally.... [01:26] Is the server listening on that port? sudo fuser -v 56/tcp [01:27] USER PID ACCESS COMMAND (1st line) 56/tcp: root 607 F....sshd (2nd line) [01:28] Right, so there's an sshd process listening on port 56. [01:28] Then it's refusing you access for whatever reason. [01:29] hm.... a problem on the client or router? [01:29] add -v to the ssh command to get verbose output. [01:29] Add additional -v's to get even more verbose output [01:30] It should tell you why the server is refusing you access. [01:30] debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config [01:30] debug1: Applying options for * [01:30] debug2: ssh_connect: needpriv 0 [01:30] debug1: Connecting to localhost [::1] port 84.

[01:31] !pastebin | Red-Raven [01:31] (i was actually using port 84, thats not a typo) [01:31] sry :( [01:32] then it won't connect using port 56, will it? [01:32] no. i was using 56 as an example. in reality i was using 84, which shouldn't make a difference. [01:34] Red-Raven: Hm. Look in /var/log/auth.log [01:35] anyone using virtual box? [01:36] jdeslaur2: I do, what's up [01:37] geirha, im there. what am i looking for? [01:37] Red-Raven: messages from sshd saying why your connection was refused. [01:39] Red-Raven: Anyway, can't help you any further tonight. Have to get some sleep. Good luck. :) [01:39] k. night. [01:42] is the max resolution in virtual box 800x600? [01:43] jdeslaur2: Did you install guest additions? [01:44] aveilleux: that might be what I forgot === jasono_ is now known as jasono [02:34] err [02:34] so i moved a file and now i cant find it O.o [02:34] :/ [02:35] you remember the name? [02:35] locate it [02:35] i did $sudo mv .themes/KUORA /usr/share/ [02:35] that should move kuora to the share folder right? [02:35] thats what i would expect [02:35] its not there :( [02:35] hmmm [02:36] locate KUORA [02:36] O.o [02:36] i searched it and nothing came up [02:37] strange [02:38] also mu /usr/share/themes folder seems to be gone [02:38] and im sure i didnt mess with that [02:40] whut am i suposed to do ? lol [02:40] eh [02:40] seems like its just themes [02:41] easy enough to replace [02:41] how? O.o [02:41] reinstall? [02:41] copy from a live CD ? [02:41] DL [02:41] at least its not your data [02:42] how do i copy from a live cd? [02:42] oh ic [02:44] err [02:44] where on the disk [02:44] would it be in? O.o [02:44] /usr/share/themes ? [02:44] maybe [02:45] where did you get the theme originally? [02:45] gnome-look [02:46] but anyways in the boot disk i dont see a sur drive [02:46] *folder [02:48] xAndromeda: you could just reinstall a theme [02:48] and i bet it will just be regenerated [02:48] the /usr/share/themes dir [02:49] thats a great idea! lol [02:49] *in theory [02:55] neope [02:55] its not important is it? [02:56] brb relog [02:57] hey do you think i can replace it with [02:57] the ./theme [02:57] folder [02:59] xAndromeda: can or should? [02:59] sounds like you might should quit while you're still ahead ;) [02:59] lol [03:00] well hopefully this wont kill me [03:00] cant kill you [03:00] go for it :) [03:02] sudo mv ~/Downloads/themes /usr/share/ [03:02] does that look right? [03:02] i moved a copy of the .theme folder from home, renamed it and put it in downlaods [03:02] i would cp them [03:03] how would you do that? [03:03] well i coped the .theme folder to dl folder [03:04] relog :D [03:05] cp instead of mv [03:05] well.. [03:12] hay [03:12] hello [03:12] any 1 there [03:13] hello need help people > installed ubuntu 8.04 then upgraded to 10.04 through update that came on screen now i have no apps places sysytem??

[03:29] another suggestion im reading is creating a new user [03:29] hold on restarting [03:29] and moving files over [03:29] BUT, you could make a new user [03:29] and see if the panels are there [03:29] where u readin this? [03:30] as a trouble-shooting step [03:30] http://art.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=903933 [03:30] i was searching for 'accidentally removed panels' [03:30] not quite the issue [03:30] but, the same result [03:31] ok [03:31] alt f2 run application [03:31] click on show list of apps there all there [03:32] gnome-panel didnt do anything?

[04:00] :) [04:00] lol [04:00] vtor: Not to my knowledge [04:00] ok lemme throw it out there in other room [05:00] hello. I need a hand install the /boot file onto a hard drive seperate from ubuntu in order to get a dualboot windows system working [05:02] I have windows and ubuntu on same hard drive and the dual boot works just fine [05:03] so what's your problem? [05:04] grub2 is not loading at boot up. [05:04] I know why. and what to change to fix it, just not how to fix it. [05:06] copy your /boot to another partition [05:06] or drive what ever [05:06] I'm not sure how to do that properly [05:06] sudo blkid [05:06] take the UUID [05:06] sudo nano /etc/fstab [05:07] i'm sorry i'm very new to all this. UUID? [05:07] UUID= /boot ext4 defaults 0 1 [05:07] !uuid [05:07] To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) [05:09] ok i've got the uuid [05:10] but I have to flee to train [05:10] JackyAlcine or someone else will assist you ;) [05:10] ok, thanks [05:11] jackyalcine, bioterror said you could help. [05:12] Hey NJSchultz07, I can. [05:12] Do you have another disk or free partition that you can copy the boot folder to? [05:13] i do. the windows hard drive has two partitions, one for OS and the other for files. I was thinking the files partition? === MrAnthrope is now known as Omsniffiscent [05:16] Well, like bioterror had mentioned; running sudo nano /etc/fstab would open a terminal text-editor that shows the partition mount on boot. [05:17] yeah, i've opened that but i'm not really sure what to do with it. [05:18] ctrl+z lol [05:18] what did opening that up do? [05:19] err ctrl+x [05:20] ok. that exited out of it. z happened to do the same as x [05:20] NJSchultz07: It displays the UUIDs so when you use the 'sudo blkid -U ' command, you could find the UNIX path (ie: /dev/sda1) [05:21] I thought blkid displayed that already [05:21] i'm sorry. I learn quick but i am rather new at all this [05:22] NJSchultz07: It did, when provided the UUID, but this is so you can easily do a 'cp -f' (recursive copy) [05:22] I'm sorry I wasn't being helpful, I was being humorous. :( [05:23] !fstab | NJSchultz07 [05:23] NJSchultz07: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [05:24] ok. so once i've opened fstab, then what? [05:24] you add the uuid line [05:24] with you uuid [05:25] does it matter where the uuid line is in the file? top/bottom? and just to clarifly, this is the UUID of the drive the /boot is currently on? [05:29] i place them under / [05:30] ok. could you please give me the format what what to type again, i believe you said it started with UUID= [05:31] UUID= /boot ext4 defaults 0 1 [05:32] should the UUID and EXT4 have parentheses around them as they did in blkid? [05:33] if no, then thats done and that line has been entered [05:33] is your new /boot partition ext4 or what? [05:34] ntfs [05:34] haha [05:34] sorry [05:34] not gonna work? [05:35] that wont work [05:35] I know when I installed ubuntu it was able to resize an existing ntfs partition, could i simply create a small partition on the primary hard drive in ext4 to put the boot onto? [05:36] 100MB is enuff for the /boot [05:36] as therres only few kernels [05:37] ok. I tried to resize the partition in gparted, but seemed to be having some problems getting it to work [05:37] but idont understand why you cant boot [05:37] whats your problem [05:37] like for real [05:37] now after this worthless hustle [05:38] i cant boot because ubuntu is on a SATA HD hooked up through a PCI card. my computer is old and the BIOS doesnt recognize my second SATA HD on boot up, only my initial IDE HD [05:39] i have the latest BIOS [05:39] ditch the windows :D [05:40] i would use that kind of pci card drives as a storage space [05:41] yeah, I was just hoping to get this figured out easily rather than have to back everything up and reinstall both windows and ubuntu [05:42] my life is peaceful as i have one computer, one os [05:43] my desktop is windows, my laptop is back, and now i'm trying linux. life is not so peaceful. haha [05:43] laptop is mac* [05:45] that pci card really makes things a little complicated [05:45] yeah. but 2TB IDE HD's aren't that common, and I already had the SATA card for flashing dvd drives [05:46] but you can try to boot live media, run gparted and resize / partition to get 100MB for a new boot [05:48] yeah. I'm having trouble resizing the NTFS at all. the partition i'm trying to resize is about 170GB and I know it has just over 70Gb free. [05:50] and remember to run grub-install /dev/hda [05:50] i think hda is your primary disk [05:50] I think its sda for me, but yes. [05:52] the one that bios finds [05:52] yeah [05:52] ahhh laters, ive arrived to my destination [05:53] hey um basically... one of the tuts for emerald said to put emerald --replace into the command area in compiz manager, [05:53] and now my screen [05:53] flashes [05:53] not the whole screen just the launcher/pannels [05:54] thanks, bye [05:55] anybody? O.o [05:58] updawgz: press Alt+F2 and run compiz --replace [06:00] im currently in terminal mode only [06:00] and the error i get is [06:01] xterm xt error: cant open dispay: [06:01] xterm: display is not set [06:08] >_< [06:14] !emerald [06:14] emerald is an obsolete window decorator for compiz. It's unsupported and unmaintained, making issues with it very hard to diagnose and fix. There are no known, supported alternatives. [06:16] i guess i found out the hard way... [06:17] Bad news :( [06:17] so err... [06:17] what are my options... :( [06:19] aside from wiping it and restarting -_- [06:28] any ideas? [06:31] T_T [06:32] updawgz: Try installing metacity. [06:32] or running 'metacity' in a terminal. [06:32] !metacity [06:32] Factoid 'metacity' not found [06:32] *sigh* [06:33] what do i type? [06:34] error: unable to open xdisplay [06:36] My guess would be, you need to uninstall emerald first. [06:36] already did that [06:38] !!!! [06:38] I FIXED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [06:38] :D :D [06:38] What'd you do? [06:38] compiz --replace? [06:38] no compiz didnt work [06:39] i did gtk-window-decorator --replace & [06:39] yay! [06:39] Oh. Whatever worked. So why is compiz not working? [06:40] emerald apparently :/ [06:41] But you've uninstalled emerald now? [06:41] Do you have the Compiz Configuration Settings Manager installed? [06:41] yeah [06:41] thats what caused it lol [06:41] i was on gnome-look [06:42] coulda opened that and put a check in the window decoration plugin. [06:42] and a skin [06:42] said to set the windwo decorator to emerald [06:42] -_- [06:43] :D [06:46] thixx for all the help! lol ima go 2 bed <3 [06:56] hello [06:58] My question is how to connect to the internet 0o so far i cant even get into Windows Network [07:01] hello [08:00] hey do you guys know how to change the colour of [08:00] the window [08:00] as in the top bar wher the window buttons are [08:00] dosnt seem to want to change for me [08:09] You change the metacity theme [08:11] There's a program that will let you change all sorts of color schemes for gnome. I think it's called gnome color picker? [08:12] GNOME Color Chooser [08:12] It's in the Software Center. [08:34] so um i nthe thingy [08:34] which one is the very top bar? [08:34] genome color chooser === head_v is now known as head_victim [09:57] \ [09:59] .5 [10:51] quick question if anybody is still on... [10:52] if installed eclipse from the app store [10:52] where do i drop the folders [10:52] for stuff like pydef [11:12] ~/.eclipse somewhere I'd assume. Though, doesn't it have a system for installing add-ons in the GUI? [11:14] it does but im not near a good connection [11:14] atm so that would take hours :( [11:15] I see, well I'd try asking in #eclipse [11:15] k thx :D [13:35] can anyone tell me,what is CVE ?is it different than a bug? [13:56] Fvic: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Vulnerabilities_and_Exposures [14:49] I'm having trouble with a reliable wireless connection. I know it works, because I've got it to connect, but if I reboot it will not reconnect, giving me a "No DHCPOFFERS Received. No working leases in persistent database - sleeping" error. [14:53] :( [14:54] johnny77: do you have other wireless devices on the network? [14:55] holstein: yes. I know the network is good. We have several other devices connected to the netwrok. [14:55] *network. [14:56] johnny77: pretty standard set-up though? [14:56] on the AP ? [14:56] AP? [14:56] router or whatever [14:57] johnny77: how do you get it to connect? [14:57] holstein: yes. I only default setting on the router that I changed would be MAC address filtering. But if added the computers address. [14:57] just keep restarting til the magig happens ? [14:58] magic* [14:58] johnny77: WPA ? [14:58] johnny77: what are the contents of : /etc/network/interfaces [14:58] could you pastebin? [14:58] holstein: sometimes I run the command sudo dhclient wlan0 - sometimes sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart [14:58] interesting... [14:59] holstein: yes, it is just brute force until magic happens. [14:59] no encryption [14:59] i would like to know what WPA without MAC address filtering performs like [14:59] just as a trouble-shooting step [15:00]
