| aztek | hi duanedesign | 00:23 |
|---|---|---|
| kaffir | hi everyone | 00:23 |
| kaffir | hey aztek | 00:23 |
| aztek | do you know how to install libreoffice in ubuntu? | 00:23 |
| aztek | kaffir: hai | 00:23 |
| kaffir | hi | 00:24 |
| holstein | http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/installation/linux/ | 00:24 |
| * holstein looking for a PPA | 00:24 | |
| holstein | yeah, heres a good link | 00:25 |
| holstein | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/libreoffice-3-3-2-released-and-ppa-installation-instrauctions-included.html | 00:25 |
| kaffir | k | 00:25 |
| kaffir | looks same as openoffice | 00:25 |
| aztek | ok, holstein | 00:25 |
| aztek | thank you | 00:25 |
| aztek | ups | 00:26 |
| aztek | how about in backtrack? | 00:26 |
| holstein | its ubuntu based right? | 00:26 |
| aztek | yes | 00:26 |
| holstein | i would be cautious about adding that ppa | 00:27 |
| holstein | but, it probably would be fine | 00:27 |
| holstein | the other directions talk about a .deb though | 00:27 |
| holstein | im not clear on how customized BT is though | 00:27 |
| aztek | i wanna reboot | 00:31 |
| Unguided | Hey Holstein. Whats going on? | 00:32 |
| holstein | Unguided: not much, and you? | 00:34 |
| Unguided | Not much. gotta work tonight but have family in town from chicago. did u get the thank you from me the other day. I had to go. im a volunteer firfighter and had a call | 00:35 |
| holstein | OH yeah | 00:35 |
| holstein | i did | 00:35 |
| holstein | glad all is well | 00:35 |
| Unguided | Yep. Looking to get rid of windows home server | 00:36 |
| Unguided | Holstein: did u see the message i put up about the book? | 00:36 |
| holstein | i dont think so | 00:37 |
| * holstein scrolling | 00:37 | |
| holstein | oh yeah | 00:38 |
| holstein | a practical guide to linux | 00:38 |
| holstein | i have 'how linux works' | 00:38 |
| holstein | very handy | 00:38 |
| holstein | and all the ubuntu documentation is so amazing | 00:38 |
| holstein | the wiki pages can be overwhelming | 00:39 |
| holstein | but they are a great resource | 00:39 |
| Unguided | Yep. Thought you could put that in your bag of tricks for newbs like me who ask alot of questions? Who is the author of how linux works? Yeah it answered a lot of the questions | 00:39 |
| Unguided | I had | 00:39 |
| holstein | http://www.amazon.com/How-Linux-Works-Superuser-Should/dp/1593270356 | 00:40 |
| Unguided | i just found it? The book i have tells you about the topic, package dependencies and how to configure it. for example samba. Great book | 00:41 |
| Unguided | Holstein: I will be back later. i have to go get pizza for the family. Great to talk with you again | 00:48 |
| holstein | Unguided: enjoy :) | 00:49 |
| kaffir | holstein, how does it differ with openoffice | 00:50 |
| holstein | that was mostly just for aztek | 00:57 |
| holstein | not really an endorsment either way | 00:58 |
| holstein | its an official fork AFAIK | 00:58 |
| holstein | probably not much difference yet | 00:58 |
| philipballew | if im setting up ssh on my desktop is it better to have the computer password protected or ssh protected into the server? | 01:02 |
| kaffir | i was just curious | 01:19 |
| holstein | philipballew: i have a key | 01:20 |
| holstein | and the key has a password | 01:20 |
| holstein | with security, more is more ;) | 01:20 |
| philipballew | that makes sence. i can use both methods. that makes sence | 01:23 |
| holstein | locally though | 01:23 |
| holstein | on my mostly trusted home network | 01:23 |
| philipballew | i need to accsess this server from miles away | 01:23 |
| holstein | i usually just set up SSH and do passwords | 01:23 |
| holstein | but the server to the outside | 01:23 |
| holstein | thats not acccepting passwords | 01:24 |
| holstein | you have to have the key | 01:24 |
| holstein | and the pass for the key | 01:24 |
| philipballew | sounds doable | 01:24 |
| holstein | hey, if i can do it, you can :) | 01:24 |
| ash9 | I have ubuntu on dual boot..But my wireless is not working...however ethernet works | 02:11 |
| ash9 | does anybody know how to fix that? | 02:12 |
| holstein | ash9: 10.10? | 02:16 |
| ash9 | yes | 02:16 |
| ash9 | downloaded it a month before | 02:17 |
| holstein | ash9: wifi has never worked though right? | 02:17 |
| ash9 | yes | 02:17 |
| ash9 | never | 02:17 |
| holstein | OK | 02:17 |
| holstein | when you reboot the machine | 02:17 |
| holstein | with the network wired | 02:17 |
| ash9 | k | 02:17 |
| holstein | does it have a popup about a restricted driver availalbe? | 02:17 |
| ash9 | no | 02:18 |
| holstein | ash9: open up a terminal | 02:18 |
| ash9 | k | 02:18 |
| holstein | and a web browser | 02:18 |
| holstein | go here http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 02:18 |
| ash9 | done! | 02:18 |
| holstein | and paste what you find when you run this in terminal | 02:19 |
| holstein | lspci | 02:19 |
| holstein | and give me the link | 02:19 |
| ash9 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/597662/ | 02:20 |
| thewrath | hey all | 02:20 |
| thewrath | i have the following set up | 02:20 |
| holstein | ash9: OK | 02:22 |
| holstein | i got news | 02:22 |
| holstein | http://ubuntulinux.co.in/blog/tag/wifi-card-ralink-5390-configuration-in-ubuntu-10-10-64-bit/ | 02:22 |
| holstein | ^ check that out | 02:22 |
| holstein | however | 02:22 |
| holstein | i would probably try the windows driver | 02:22 |
| holstein | with ndiswrapper | 02:23 |
| holstein | since you are dual booting | 02:23 |
| holstein | and the driver you need is on the hard drive somewhere | 02:23 |
| holstein | and that just might work | 02:23 |
| thewrath | Internet -> Comcast Cable Modem -> Ethernet Hub -> Linksys WRT160N Router -> Wireless and Wiredd_Components | 02:23 |
| thewrath | I have an IDS connected to the Hub | 02:23 |
| holstein | ash9: eitherway, i would try upgrading the system | 02:23 |
| holstein | however you feel comfortable doing that | 02:23 |
| thewrath | but when I attempt to wireless connect to my router i get connected and an IP Address but no access to the internet | 02:23 |
| thewrath | any idea why | 02:23 |
| thewrath | if i am hard wired into the router it works fine | 02:24 |
| thewrath | why? | 02:24 |
| holstein | ash9: after te upgrade, reboot, and if wifi isnt working, i would try ndiswrapper, then that fix above | 02:24 |
| holstein | you can find ndis in any package manager | 02:24 |
| holstein | and you'll find it in the menu labeled 'windows drivers' or something similar | 02:24 |
| holstein | thewrath: just from linux? | 02:25 |
| ash9 | holstein: thank you so much | 02:27 |
| ash9 | i will be goin over the recommendations you made!! | 02:27 |
| thewrath | holstein: what do you m ean? | 02:27 |
| holstein | ash9: let us know, there are other options if those dont work | 02:28 |
| holstein | thewrath: can you connect wirelessly with no issues from other devices? os's? | 02:28 |
| thewrath | wireless in linux yes but not in windows | 02:28 |
| holstein | hmmm | 02:29 |
| holstein | let me re-phrase | 02:29 |
| ash9 | alright!!And if in case I couldn't get to you today, then will I be able to get back to you again by any chance | 02:29 |
| ash9 | ? | 02:29 |
| holstein | seems like you are able to connect with linux | 02:29 |
| holstein | but not get to the internet | 02:29 |
| holstein | is this isolated to one machine? | 02:29 |
| thewrath | not sure as i only have 1 linux and 1 windows pc | 02:29 |
| holstein | do you have other boxes and/or os's you can try connecting wirelessly with | 02:29 |
| holstein | to make sure its not the AP that is the trouble? | 02:29 |
| thewrath | i can attempt to do it from my phone when ig et back to my place | 02:30 |
| thewrath | i will be back on sunday | 02:30 |
| holstein | ash9: you can ping me, if im around, i'll pipe up | 02:30 |
| thewrath | i am visiting my parents for Easter holiday and no access to that equipment from here | 02:30 |
| holstein | but everyone here is helpful ash9 :) | 02:30 |
| ash9 | ohhk...but if you are not? | 02:30 |
| holstein | just remember what you did | 02:31 |
| ash9 | hmm..thanks! | 02:31 |
| holstein | ash9: and | 02:31 |
| holstein | you can say, im having trouble with RaLink Device 5390 in 10.10 | 02:31 |
| holstein | that'll get things moving a bit quicker i think | 02:31 |
| ash9 | ohhk! great..;) | 02:31 |
| ash9 | thnx | 02:32 |
| holstein | thewrath: i say, when you can, rule out that its not a router issue | 02:32 |
| thewrath | okay | 02:32 |
| holstein | then come back when you're near the gear | 02:32 |
| thewrath | i am running all of this at home lol | 02:32 |
| thewrath | just to see what i see coming into my network, etc | 02:32 |
| thewrath | holstein: have you run snort before | 02:34 |
| holstein | we had a presentation are our local LUG about it | 02:35 |
| holstein | and that was a build from scratch thing we all watched | 02:36 |
| holstein | but, i havent needed it | 02:36 |
| thewrath | ok | 02:36 |
| thewrath | know anyone in here that has run it? | 02:36 |
| holstein | nah | 02:37 |
| thewrath | where are you from holstein | 02:38 |
| thewrath | what is a good alternative to Microsoft visio? | 02:42 |
| holstein | thewrath: what are you trying to do? | 02:43 |
| thewrath | draw my network out | 02:43 |
| pleia2 | the popular one is dia | 02:43 |
| pleia2 | but you may be disappointed if you're looking for a "good alternative" - it's pretty minimal | 02:43 |
| thewrath | hey pleia2 | 02:43 |
| thewrath | long time no see lol | 02:43 |
| pleia2 | g'day thewrath | 02:44 |
| holstein | inkscape does vector graphics | 02:44 |
| ash9 | I got this when I started my machine:"The panel encountered a problem while loading "OAFIID:GNOME_Panel_TrashApplet"..How can I fix that? | 02:44 |
| holstein | ash9: i would just log out and back in | 02:44 |
| holstein | see if it still does it | 02:44 |
| ash9 | kk...Is it a temporary error? | 02:45 |
| holstein | ash9: it has been for me in the past | 02:45 |
| ash9 | does it come again when you relogged? | 02:45 |
| holstein | ash9: depends | 02:45 |
| ash9 | k..what if it does? | 02:45 |
| holstein | ash9: try and not the exact error message | 02:46 |
| holstein | and we'll sort it out | 02:46 |
| ash9 | ohhk.. | 02:46 |
| holstein | or just take the trash applet out of the panel | 02:46 |
| ash9 | that means..delete it? | 02:46 |
| holstein | i delete that 2nd panel usually | 02:46 |
| holstein | and dont use a trash applet | 02:47 |
| holstein | but im sure theres a fix | 02:47 |
| ash9 | alright..thanx. | 02:47 |
| holstein | thewrath: looks like the newer visio versions run well in wine | 02:48 |
| holstein | http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=119 | 02:48 |
| thewrath | dont have visio at the moment lol | 02:48 |
| ash9 | upgrading ubuntu? | 02:50 |
| Unguided | Hey guys. Im showing ubuntu to a friend of mine. i forget the command line to install kde from the terminal. can someone help me out ple | 02:50 |
| Unguided | *please | 02:51 |
| holstein | Unguided: are you wanting KDE and gnome? | 02:51 |
| holstein | or to move to KDE? | 02:51 |
| Unguided | I want to install both\ | 02:51 |
| Unguided | i thought the command was sudo apt-get install kde-desktop | 02:52 |
| holstein | i would check out sudo apt-cache search kde | 02:52 |
| Unguided | k. thanks | 02:53 |
| ash9 | holstein:did you say upgrading ubuntu? | 02:53 |
| ash9 | oops | 02:53 |
| holstein | ash9: i suggested that | 02:53 |
| holstein | in case a kernel upgrade would add funcionality for your wifi device | 02:53 |
| holstein | however you do it | 02:53 |
| holstein | with the upgrade utility | 02:53 |
| holstein | or synaptic | 02:54 |
| holstein | or in the CLI | 02:54 |
| ash9 | well..this is the first time I am using Ubuntu | 02:54 |
| ash9 | I have been using windows | 02:54 |
| ash9 | can you please gimme the link to that? | 02:54 |
| ash9 | for the upgrade.. | 02:54 |
| holstein | ash9: when you are online | 02:54 |
| holstein | there should be a little applet | 02:55 |
| holstein | running near the time | 02:55 |
| holstein | that says you have updates | 02:55 |
| holstein | or, just open a terminal and run.. | 02:55 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get update | 02:55 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get upgrade | 02:55 |
| ash9 | both? | 02:56 |
| holstein | ash9: in the menu | 02:56 |
| ash9 | or just the upgrade one? | 02:56 |
| holstein | under system | 02:56 |
| holstein | administration | 02:56 |
| holstein | theres an update manager | 02:56 |
| ash9 | k | 02:56 |
| holstein | do that if you feel more comfortable with it :) | 02:56 |
| ash9 | it shows me just one update..thats for adobe flash | 02:57 |
| holstein | ash9: there should be a refresh button | 02:57 |
| holstein | the button that says 'check' | 02:57 |
| ash9 | k | 02:58 |
| ash9 | already started with the adobe flash update ..so was waiting for that to finish | 02:58 |
| ash9 | hmm...it says 92 updates!! | 02:58 |
| holstein | ash9: you should get in the habit of looking through them | 02:59 |
| holstein | before just htting the button | 02:59 |
| ash9 | you are right...but I am not at all sure of what those are... | 03:00 |
| holstein | you dont need to | 03:00 |
| ash9 | okay..so should I go ahead and update all? | 03:01 |
| holstein | i would | 03:01 |
| holstein | you should feel free to research more | 03:01 |
| holstein | if you want | 03:01 |
| holstein | and do what you feel comfortable with | 03:01 |
| ash9 | okay.. thnx | 03:01 |
| holstein | but, uprgading a package or 2 can potentially add funcionality for your wifi | 03:01 |
| holstein | but, probably not with that particular device | 03:02 |
| ash9 | hmm...I'll let you know whenever the updates are done... | 03:02 |
| stlsaint | back | 07:32 |
| stlsaint | o/ | 07:32 |
| halpbatman | does anyone use e4rat? wanna help me set it up? | 08:07 |
| virgo | what is this | 08:08 |
| halpbatman | virgo, http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/ | 08:10 |
| halpbatman | apparently speeds up boot | 08:10 |
| halpbatman | for ext4 file system | 08:10 |
| halpbatman | virgo, I got the deb. package from their website. but when I try to install it. it says "Error: Conflicts with the installed package 'ureadahead' | 08:12 |
| virgo | i am not the pro here, i am also a beginner lol | 08:12 |
| halpbatman | oh i see | 08:13 |
| virgo | but my oponion about installing all kind of things in ubuntu is to use the supported packages | 08:13 |
| virgo | with software center or apt-get install | 08:13 |
| virgo | else there can be unexpected conflicts | 08:14 |
| halpbatman | anyone knows how to disable ureadahead daemon? | 08:18 |
| virgo | are you sure your system does not need this ureadahead package? | 08:25 |
| bioterror | ureadahead (über-readahead) is used during boot to read files in | 08:27 |
| bioterror | advance of when they are needed such that they are already in the page | 08:27 |
| bioterror | cache, improving boot performance. | 08:27 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: poke | 08:28 |
| duanedesign | stlsaint: yyyyes | 08:29 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: i got man page working!! | 08:32 |
| stlsaint | small contribution from Kuwait!! lol | 08:32 |
| duanedesign | stlsaint: awesome | 08:33 |
| duanedesign | virgo: You can remove the error message by deleting the file /etc/init/ureadahead.conf. | 08:33 |
| duanedesign | oops | 08:33 |
| duanedesign | i mean halpbatman | 08:33 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: question now is how do we package it with clic so it installs upon clic installtion | 08:33 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: that much i havent figured out yet | 08:34 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: unless another page is written to link to the gzip | 08:34 |
| duanedesign | halpbatman: but I would say you are going down a road that could lead to a reinstall :) This might help http://e4rat.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page#Getting_it_to_work | 08:34 |
| stlsaint | lol | 08:34 |
| duanedesign | stlsaint: hmmm, i am not sure | 08:34 |
| stlsaint | yellow brick road of re-install | 08:34 |
| duanedesign | :) | 08:34 |
| duanedesign | I have been there many times | 08:35 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: same here, makes it alot easier to spot when someone else is heading there | 08:35 |
| duanedesign | stlsaint: i will need to see how to package the man page | 08:36 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: aye | 08:36 |
| duanedesign | stlsaint: i really need to get busy if i am going to get this thing done in time to make Ubuntu-O | 08:36 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: would you mind testing the page to ensure i just didnt hack my way to get it working on my system | 08:37 |
| duanedesign | yes i ccan do that | 08:38 |
| stlsaint | kk one sec | 08:38 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: put this in a filed named clicompanion.1 | 08:40 |
| stlsaint | http://paste.ubuntu.com/597760/ | 08:40 |
| stlsaint | duanedesign: maybe we should move to -dev ;) | 08:40 |

| oliver659756 | hello | 15:52 |
| duanedesign | hello | 15:52 |
| oliver659756 | can I get some advice on why my dual partitioned install of ubuntu and windows wont boot windows? | 15:52 |
| oliver659756 | from the grub boot loader i select windows the screen goes blank and the boot loader screen appears again | 15:52 |
| oliver659756 | ubuntu works fine though :/ | 15:52 |
| oliver659756 | any suggestions? | 15:53 |
| duanedesign | hmm, ok | 15:53 |
| oliver659756 | ideas anyone? | 15:55 |
| duanedesign | oliver659756: yeah, i am looking for a guide | 15:55 |
| oliver659756 | thanks | 15:56 |
| oliver659756 | windows ran fine i installed ubuntu and now it doesnt boot | 15:56 |
| duanedesign | windows shows up in Grub though? | 15:57 |
| oliver659756 | yeah | 15:58 |
| oliver659756 | this is the grub config for the windows install | 15:58 |
| oliver659756 | http://images.4chan.org/g/src/1303567984081.jpg | 15:58 |
| oliver659756 | (I asked for help on 4chan /g/ board also) | 15:58 |
| duanedesign | oliver659756: do you have windows7 or vista? | 16:00 |
| oliver659756 | its vista as I only had a vista CD with me | 16:00 |
| oliver659756 | so had to install vista | 16:00 |
| duanedesign | oliver659756: you used EasyBCD? | 16:05 |
| oliver659756 | I dont know what that is so I dont think so, I partitioned the drive then installed windows from install disk, I then installed ubuntu from install disk on the other partition | 16:06 |
| oliver659756 | windows booted when i first installed it | 16:06 |
| oliver659756 | but after installing ubuntu it doesnt boot even when i select to boot it | 16:06 |
| oliver659756 | it just reverts to the boot manager screen shown in the screen shot | 16:06 |
| holstein | oliver659756: do you see windows in the grub list? | 16:07 |
| oliver659756 | yes, this is a photo of the grub list | 16:07 |
| oliver659756 | http://images.4chan.org/g/src/1303567984081.jpg | 16:07 |
| oliver659756 | the bottom screen shot is the configuration it has for windows | 16:07 |
| duanedesign | oliver659756: sorry my bad I was looking at the wrong page | 16:07 |
| oliver659756 | no problem the help is really appreciated | 16:07 |
| holstein | first thing i would do is boot ubuntu | 16:08 |
| holstein | and run sudo update-grub | 16:08 |
| holstein | then, i guess i would try re-installing grub with a live CD | 16:08 |
| oliver659756 | i got advised to do that from someone else, I tried it and it didnt fix it when i rebooted :( | 16:09 |
| holstein | oliver659756: tried both? | 16:10 |
| oliver659756 | how do i reinstall grub? | 16:10 |
| duanedesign | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD | 16:10 |
| holstein | well, i would do it with a live CD | 16:10 |
| holstein | yeah... | 16:10 |
| * holstein high-fives duanedesign :) | 16:10 | |
| holstein | that literally wont hurt anything | 16:10 |
| holstein | and its a good thing to learn how to do | 16:11 |
| * holstein BBL | 16:11 | |
| oliver659756 | ok so i need to use the ubuntu install cd? | 16:11 |
| oliver659756 | and do what? (apologies for having no idea what im doing) | 16:11 |
| holstein | oliver659756: just check out that link | 16:12 |
| holstein | it'll talk you through booting from a live CD | 16:12 |
| holstein | and installing GRUB | 16:12 |
| holstein | or replacing GRUB | 16:12 |
| holstein | whatever you want to call it | 16:12 |
| oliver659756 | oliver@computer:~$ sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sdX | 16:13 |
| oliver659756 | [sudo] password for oliver: | 16:13 |
| oliver659756 | /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: cannot stat `/dev/sdX'. | 16:13 |
| duanedesign | ok | 16:14 |
| duanedesign | you replace the X with what is appropriatte for your computer | 16:14 |
| duanedesign | if you know which partition your Windows is on | 16:15 |
| duanedesign | otherwise you can run: sudo fdisk -l | 16:15 |
| duanedesign | you will have a line like this: | 16:16 |
| duanedesign | /dev/sdb2 29115 30401 10333184 7 HPFS/NTFS | 16:16 |
| oliver659756 | warn: Attempting to install GRUB to a partition instead of the MBR. This is a BAD idea.. | 16:17 |
| oliver659756 | :x | 16:17 |
| duanedesign | no worries | 16:17 |
| duanedesign | no worries | 16:18 |
| duanedesign | ugh | 16:18 |
| duanedesign | hmm | 16:18 |
| oliver659756 | should i post the result of sudo fdisk -l | 16:19 |
| duanedesign | can you put it in a pastebin | 16:20 |
| duanedesign | http://pastebin.ca/ | 16:21 |
| oliver659756 | http://pastebin.ca/2049781 | 16:21 |
| duanedesign | ok it should be /dev/sda1 | 16:24 |
| oliver659756 | so i need to use the command sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda1 | 16:24 |
| oliver659756 | ? | 16:24 |
| duanedesign | sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 16:25 |
| duanedesign | then the command: | 16:25 |
| oliver659756 | sorry i just cleared the window | 16:25 |
| oliver659756 | can you say the previous command | 16:25 |
| duanedesign | sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda | 16:25 |
| duanedesign | no problem | 16:25 |
| duanedesign | sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 16:26 |
| duanedesign | sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda | 16:26 |
| duanedesign | note the second command does not have the 1 | 16:26 |
| oliver659756 | oliver@computer:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 16:27 |
| oliver659756 | Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. | 16:27 |
| oliver659756 | The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which | 16:27 |
| oliver659756 | could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command. | 16:27 |
| duanedesign | oliver659756: ok, you need to boot up and run Ubuntu from the livecd | 16:28 |
| oliver659756 | ok, what do i do once i am running ubuntu from the live cd | 16:29 |
| duanedesign | i think the option from the CD menu is something like 'run Ubuntu without any changes to my computer' | 16:29 |
| duanedesign | Open a terminal by selecting Applications, Accessories, Terminal from the menu bar. | 16:29 |
| duanedesign | then run the commands: | 16:30 |
| duanedesign | sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt | 16:30 |
| duanedesign | sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda | 16:30 |
| oliver659756 | ok thanks | 16:30 |
| oliver659756 | i will try those | 16:30 |
| oliver659756 | your help is appreciated btw | 16:31 |
| duanedesign | let us know how it goes | 16:31 |
| oliver659756 | will do | 16:31 |
| oliver659756 | bye bye | 16:31 |

| kristian-aalborg | hi all | 18:45 |
| kristian-aalborg | would it be waaaay to much work to install on one hdd, then move it to another box= | 18:45 |
| kristian-aalborg | ? | 18:45 |
| charlie-tca | Move the hard drive? | 18:47 |
| charlie-tca | I have done that and it worked well, but I don't have wireless either | 18:48 |
| charlie-tca | It gets confused by the video if you install the hardware driver and they are different (mine was nVidia to ATI) | 18:48 |
| kristian-aalborg | hi charlie-tca | 18:50 |
| kristian-aalborg | I plan on making the simplest install I can - no special drivers etc - then move it back and act like nothing happened | 18:51 |
| kristian-aalborg | but yeah, no wifi... | 18:52 |
| kristian-aalborg | can I plug the no-internet box to one with wifi and share it? | 18:52 |
| charlie-tca | I don't know. I am really not good with wifi at all | 18:53 |
| charlie-tca | it works or it don't. I can't seem to get farther than that | 18:53 |
| charlie-tca | where's holstein? He knows that stuff well | 18:53 |
| kristian-aalborg | holstein: ping | 18:54 |
| kristian-aalborg | ;) | 18:54 |
| Elric58 | thanks, duanedesign. | 19:06 |
| stlsaint | Elric58: poke | 19:26 |
| stlsaint | i saw the question on ssh, wondering if you got it resolved | 19:27 |
| Elric58 | Well, I haven't tried it just yet. | 19:27 |
| Elric58 | [12:27]duanedesignElric58: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH | 19:27 |
| Elric58 | I am reading up on it right now. | 19:27 |
| Elric58 | Do you have a solution or are you looking to do the same thing as I am? | 19:28 |
| Elric58 | stlsaint: My next issue with connecting to the dev server from my server is that the SSH connection is using public/private keys and not passwords. | 19:29 |
| seidos | that's funny, i just switched from passwords to keys on my server recently | 19:32 |
| stlsaint | Elric58: I love keys ;) | 19:33 |
| stlsaint | best authentication for ssh | 19:33 |
| Elric58 | I agree. I already have a key that I use on my netbook to connect. | 19:33 |
| stlsaint | Elric58: after your server gets attacked a good amount you will appreciate keys as well | 19:33 |
| Elric58 | My question now is how to do it from my server. | 19:34 |
| stlsaint | Elric58: you want to connect to your server using ssh w/keys? | 19:34 |
| Elric58 | I want to connect my server to the dev server with the code on it. | 19:34 |
| Elric58 | Not sure if I need to, but I am trying to get a copy of the code onto my server. | 19:35 |
| stlsaint | hrm, what dev server are you talking about? | 19:35 |
| Elric58 | It's for a game I am helping with. | 19:35 |
| stlsaint | so you want to use your server as part of another server for a game? | 19:36 |
| Elric58 | Like I said, I am not sure I even need to do this. I am very new to this whole deal. Let's see if I can explain... | 19:36 |
| Elric58 | There is a dev server for the game. I can connect to it from my netbook and have full access to the code. | 19:37 |
| Elric58 | I would like to be able to test things on my own server (which I just installed and have really no clue to what I am doing yet). | 19:37 |
| stlsaint | Elric58: alright so pull the code and put it on your own server | 19:38 |
| Elric58 | So I guess that I really need to figure out how to connect to my own server from my netbook. | 19:38 |
| Elric58 | Let me ask this, while I have your ear... | 19:38 |
| Elric58 | Do you know how to connect with SSH and a tunnel from a Mac? | 19:39 |
| Elric58 | On a PC it is easy with PuTTY | 19:40 |
| stlsaint | Elric58: i dont use a mac but the concept is still the same, now when you say ssh AND a tunnel it sounds like ssh via vpn. Is that what you are referring to? | 19:40 |
| stlsaint | Elric58: so you have a key set already made on your MAC? | 19:41 |
| stlsaint | Elric58: if so than you can just upload that key to your ~./ssh (or whatever name you will be on server, IE: /home/stlsaint/.ssh | 19:41 |
| stlsaint | sorry....... | 19:42 |
| stlsaint | /home/stlsaint/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server | 19:42 |
| stlsaint | Elric58: thats AFTER you install openssh on your server: sudo apt-get openssh-server | 19:42 |
| stlsaint | lol, FAIL | 19:42 |
| stlsaint | sudo apt-get install openssh-server | 19:43 |
| stlsaint | (thats if you want to use openssh, though i HIGHLY recommend you do) | 19:43 |
| stlsaint | Elric58: you with me buddy? | 19:43 |
| Elric58 | I am the poster child for the 'beginners' name of this channel!! XD | 19:44 |
| Elric58 | I am reading as you type. | 19:44 |
| stlsaint | =) | 19:44 |
| Elric58 | Didn't want to spoil your flow. | 19:44 |
| stlsaint | no point in flowing if your not following ;) | 19:45 |
| Elric58 | Who knew that 9+ years of sys admin work wouldn't help me at all with this stuff!! | 19:45 |
| stlsaint | ha, had i not run my in house server farm i wouldnt know this mess either, at one point i had to get some serious one-on-one time with my last mentor | 19:45 |
| Elric58 | When I setup the ssh connection with PuTTY, there is a way to set up a tunnel. I am assuming it is much like a vpn. | 19:46 |
| stlsaint | Elric58: truly there is no need unless you are trying to access a inside network, from a untrusted one | 19:46 |
| stlsaint | no need for vpn | 19:46 |
| stlsaint | you go trying to tunnel vpn's and ssh your just gonna get a slower connection, safe as hell, but slower | 19:47 |
| Elric58 | Accessing the dev server, I have no choice since that's the way the lead dev wants it done. | 19:47 |
| stlsaint | BAH | 19:47 |
| stlsaint | tell him stlsaint said screw his tunnel ;) | 19:48 |
| Elric58 | I think the tunnel might be more than just a vpn, but I am not positive on that. | 19:48 |
| Elric58 | XD | 19:48 |
| stlsaint | what do you mean by tunnel? ssh encrypts everything from the connection to the data traveling thru it so what more is he asking for? | 19:48 |
| Elric58 | Once I make the connection, I open up a browser window and connect to localhost with my tunnel source port and it's like I have my own version of the source to work on. | 19:49 |
| Elric58 | You'll have to look this stuff up to get a good explanation. I'm kind of guessing here. It's an option in PuTTY. | 19:50 |
| Elric58 | The lead dev helped me set it up and it's what he wants. | 19:50 |
| stlsaint | ok i get ya, so what is it that you are wanting to do with your server? | 19:51 |
| seidos | ssh and encapsulation? Mein got, who do you work for, the NSA? | 19:51 |
| stlsaint | seidos: yep yep | 19:51 |
| stlsaint | seems to be that way | 19:51 |
| Elric58 | I'm just wanting to use it to test any changes and stuff I do to the code before dumping it back to the dev server. | 19:51 |
| stlsaint | Elric58: ok, now is this source code hosted somewhere you can pull from, launchpad, github, etc etc | 19:52 |
| Elric58 | It's a new game in the works and it is currently hosted on a not-so-private web server. | 19:52 |
| stlsaint | alright well tell the dev to send you the source or pull it from the server and put it on yours, like i said most config files should be the same minus all the networking stuff | 19:53 |
| Elric58 | Not sure, stlsaint. | 19:53 |
| Elric58 | Well, this has gone WAY beyond my original question, which is a good thing (I think). XD | 19:54 |
| stlsaint | Elric58: yea i was just about to say, im not trying to be a jerk but im not seeing where the issue lies | 19:54 |
| Elric58 | Last night was the first time I have even seen a Linux server, never mind worked with one. | 19:54 |
| stlsaint | Elric58: isnt it just great :D | 19:54 |
| Elric58 | The issue is I don't really know what I am doing or what I need to be doing. | 19:55 |
| stlsaint | i worked with win server 2003/08 and even though they have roles which is great i still prefer a config file | 19:55 |
| Elric58 | Just kind of pissing in the wind here!! XD | 19:55 |
| stlsaint | Elric58: pm? (private message) | 19:55 |
| Elric58 | sure | 19:55 |
| stlsaint | security security security :D | 19:59 |
| stlsaint | i do love a new server user :D | 20:00 |
| stlsaint | mind is like a sponge ready to soak everything up | 20:00 |
| martin__ | complete rookie needs help...just installed ubuntu 10.10 on a Fujitsu Siemens laptop...went like a dream but max resolution is only 800x600. how can i increase it | 20:12 |
| stlsaint | martin__: you will probably need to install another driver or edit your xorg.conf | 20:16 |
| stlsaint | martin__: does 800x600 not the size to fit your screen? | 20:17 |
| martin__ | does fit whole screen but everything seems "large" if that makes sense | 20:21 |
| stlsaint | screenshot? | 20:22 |
| Elric58 | stlsaint: I be back. | 20:23 |

| UbuntuN00b | hey all i was trying to fix hibernate in ubuntu | 20:45 |
| UbuntuN00b | by installing uswsusp | 20:45 |
| UbuntuN00b | but it didn't work | 20:45 |
| UbuntuN00b | now i'm trying to uninstall it through terminal | 20:45 |
| UbuntuN00b | i used apt-get remove uswsusp | 20:45 |
| UbuntuN00b | but ut gave me : E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) | 20:46 |
| UbuntuN00b | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 20:46 |
| UbuntuN00b | any idea what i should be doing | 20:46 |
| UbuntuN00b | or is it because i didn't put sudo? | 20:46 |
| UbuntuN00b | before the original command | 20:46 |
| smeag0l | yes | 20:46 |
| smeag0l | maybe | 20:46 |
| stlsaint | UbuntuN00b: close the synaptic package manger you have open then run command again | 20:47 |
| smeag0l | UbuntuN00b, | 20:47 |
| UbuntuN00b | synaptic package manager? | 20:47 |
| stlsaint | oh yea you also need sudo | 20:47 |
| stlsaint | UbuntuN00b: sudo infront of the command | 20:47 |
| stlsaint | ssshhhh there is zach | 20:48 |
| UbuntuN00b | ahh okay looks like it is working | 20:48 |
| UbuntuN00b | thanks all | 20:48 |
| stlsaint | UbuntuN00b: you dont know what synaptic is? | 20:48 |
| UbuntuN00b | nope | 20:48 |
| UbuntuN00b | hence the n00b | 20:48 |
| stlsaint | UbuntuN00b: look in your system tab menu for it | 20:49 |
| stlsaint | UbuntuN00b: synaptic is the frontend to apt | 20:49 |
| UbuntuN00b | apt? | 20:49 |
| stlsaint | UbuntuN00b: it gives you a graphical way to see all application installed and all that are in the repository | 20:49 |
| stlsaint | UbuntuN00b: :| | 20:49 |
| UbuntuN00b | oh you mean the software centre | 20:49 |
| UbuntuN00b | it wasn't open | 20:49 |
| UbuntuN00b | its called synaptic then | 20:49 |
| stlsaint | UbuntuN00b: oh yea, sorry about that, i still prefer synaptic | 20:50 |
| UbuntuN00b | kk | 20:50 |
| stlsaint | yes the software center | 20:50 |
| UbuntuN00b | good to know :) | 20:50 |
| stlsaint | aye | 20:51 |
| stlsaint | have fun welcome to Ubuntu!! :D | 20:51 |
| UbuntuN00b | haha i have been | 20:51 |
| kristian-aalborg | hi, please help me in this scenario: I'm installing (L)Ubuntu for somebody who's best at vietnamese... this is a danish pc w/ danish keyboard... I'd like the Luser to have to most comfortable setup o/c, but I can only do support in danish or english... what's the clever way around this? | 20:54 |
| UbuntuN00b | i don't suppose anyone here is running ubuntu desktop on an aspire netbook and has been able to make hibernate work properly | 20:54 |
| seidos | suspend is so low power, i find i never use hibernate anymore | 20:57 |
| UbuntuN00b | is there viet. support videos on youtube? or can you remote in and just show them visually how to do thigs? | 20:57 |
| UbuntuN00b | ahh ok | 20:57 |
| seidos | i think it uses like 1 or 2 watts, which i think is worth the speed advantage | 20:58 |
| UbuntuN00b | its not a huge deal in either case, just suspends runs hotter so i don't like to transport when its like that | 20:58 |
| UbuntuN00b | hibernate (at least on my other laptop) runs cool | 20:59 |
| seidos | find someone that speaks vietnamese? unless you want to learn vietnamese | 20:59 |
| seidos | suspend runs hot? that doesn't sound right | 20:59 |
| seidos | suspend runs cool on my laptop | 20:59 |
| seidos | are you sure it isn't just taking time to cool off after use? | 21:00 |
| UbuntuN00b | yeah but if you throw it in a laptop case for a bit it gets hot quick | 21:00 |
| UbuntuN00b | where hibernate basically shuts the laptop off | 21:00 |
| seidos | yeah, that is a mystery to me | 21:00 |
| seidos | i don't see how 2 watts would cause an increase in temperature | 21:01 |
| seidos | i guess because it's a netbook? | 21:01 |
| UbuntuN00b | it may notbe working properyl... ubuntu and suspend/hibernate and netbooks it touch and go | 21:01 |
| UbuntuN00b | yeah its a netbook | 21:01 |
| seidos | well, i'm not sure if there is something you can do about the acpi software | 21:01 |
| UbuntuN00b | yeah its not a huge deal. i look into it some more lots of threads about it | 21:02 |
| seidos | perhaps it's a bios setting | 21:03 |
| UbuntuN00b | hmmm possibly but even if it was there no option. netbook bios are pretty limited in options | 21:06 |
