BentFranklinI'm accessing multiple hosts over ssh using putty.  They are behind a single router.  I think I need to have them all listen on different ports.  What's a good way to generate a range of port numbers that won't collide with anything else?02:04

Mase_wksurunveri: sorry don't have flash player installed. not really a kubuntu issue05:40
Mase_wkyou might like to ask on the adobe forums05:40
Mase_wkor somewhere specific to flash. as mentioned on install..flash is non-free software and as such there is a significant limit on the amount of support that anyone orther than adobe can provide05:41
Mase_wksurunveri: The only suggestion i can make is perhaps you could try gnash or light-something..can't remember the name of it. Both of those aim to provide Free flash implementations...they may or may not provide you with the option you are looking for.05:45

finomodEven though I am logged in as root, I still cannot create any folder or delete any content from my mobile's memory card. Any idea why it is so?12:11
Tm_Tfinomod: is the lock on? there's small switch in side of the memory card12:13
finomodTm_T: No there is no such lock in my mobile.12:13
Tm_Tfinomod: then possibly it is mounted as read-only12:14
finomodTm_T: Would you please tell how do I mount it as writable?12:14
Tm_T!mount12:14
ubottuPartitioning programs !PartitionManager or !GParted (see also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mount partitions from System Settings -> (Advanced tab) Removable Devices. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter12:14

Tm_Tfinomod: I don't currently have related material at hand, sorry12:15
finomodNp, thanks for the help.12:15
Tm_Tfinomod: but you can see what is mounted by using the command "mount"12:15
Tm_Tthe same command with device and related parameters would mount12:16
finomodTm_T: Whoah! thanks. mount command listed the device as /dev/sdb/ I umounted and mounted it again on /media/disk. It works now. Thanks12:18

Fieldyhi, i'm using 10.04.2 LTS. sudo apt-get uprade updated kernel 2.6.32-27-generic-pae to 2.6.32-29-generic-pae. Rebooting meant xorg didn't have the nvidia driver, so while running 2.6.32-29-generic-pae (console) i installed nvidia-glx-185, but nvidia.ko isn't anywhere in lib/modules/2.6.32-29-generic-pae/ . how do I get nvidia working again with -29?17:53
zippydid you try nvidia-xconfig?18:00
Fieldyzippy: nope, wasn't aware of that, let me boot back into that kernel and give it a try, thanks!18:01

blablahey, got a bit of a problem with install of kubuntu - disabled internal harddrive in bios thiniing it would stop the kubuntu install over writing boot record. instlled to kubuntu to usb external drive rebooted and unpluged the usb drive thinking vista would be fine. but no. is there anyway to get the boot loader to work without the external hard drive pluged in?18:16
Fieldyzippy: okay I booted to -29 and tried that, didn't change anything though, the nvidia module isn't loaded at boot, and modprobe nvidia doesn't find it. it's working with -27, but not -28 or -29. i'm not really sure what's going on here, I never had to worry about any of this in the past when updating. any idea what's going on?18:21
rorkblabla: you'll have to install the bootloader on your internal drive then18:24
blablanice18:25
blablaoh well18:25
rorkor, you have kubuntu on your usb drive and vista on your internal drive?18:25
blablais there anyway i can boot without haveing the external one pluged in cos it doesnt work18:25

rorkblabla: do you have kubuntu on your usb drive and vista on your internal drive?18:26

blablaany idea what i could do to fix it so it boots vista without the external harddrive plugged in?18:31
blablaor were to start looking18:31
rorkblabla: ah, in that case installing grub from ubuntu doesn't work (for it can't find the config if you remove the usb-device). You'll have to recover your vista bootloader, plenty or options here: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=restoring+vista+bootloader18:31

BlackAuraHey guys, had an interesting issue setting up a home server with a 2TB drive last night.  Kubuntu used a GUID Partition Table (which I had never really looked into before), and I didn't have a bios_grub partition set.19:19
BlackAuraSo after reading up on GPTs, I reinstalled Kubuntu with a 1mb (2 sector) bios_grub partition, but I'm still having troubles booting.  Does anyone else have much experience booting off GPT drives?19:19
BlackAuraGrub (1.98 I believe?  comes with kubuntu 10.10) said it installed successfully, however every time I boot I get an error "no boot partition found" (give or take)19:20
BlackAuracorrection: "no boot device found"19:21
jmuthi. I plan to migrate to kubuntu. is everything same as ubuntu apart of the X ?  I mean tutorials..readings etc19:43
