[08:15] if im running a ubuntu server that stores peoples files with xp running machines should i scan for viruses? [08:21] philipballew: Probably not a bad idea. Wouldn't want your windows users to get a virus from your share. [08:22] might make Ubuntu look bad... we dont want that haha [08:22] !antivirus [08:22] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [08:22] That page has some software you can use iirc [08:22] haha that says it... [08:23] one more question for the day... [08:23] how can i get grub2 too know what os to automaticly boot and therefor hide the boot menu? [08:23] i havent edited grub since they were using anything before grub 2 === leex_ is now known as leex [15:04] Hey People! Installation question: I tried to install Ubuntu on my Windows 7 system. It didn't fully install because it couldn't find a certain iso file (?), I tried to uninstall and start over, but nothing helped. Now I can't get rid of the dual-boot option whenever I turn the computer on. How do I get rid of that--or at least get Ubuntu to work? [17:46] welcome back ubot2 lol [18:01] hi [18:03] Hello [18:03] hi [19:14] Greetings bodhi_zazen Nice to see you here. [19:23] * Sidewinder1 Feels like bodhi_zazen is ignoring him..

[20:04] philipballew: i use dyndns [20:05] http://www.dyndns.com/ [20:06] Omsniffiscent: have you added sources? [20:06] hmm, actually that looks like a PPA source for gnome3 [20:07] i would try disabling it, and see how it goes.. (disable or purge) [20:08] Uh yes I did install gnome3 but I went back to gnome 2. [20:08] How do I remove gnome 3? [20:09] (It's not made of easy.) [20:09] Omsniffiscent: i would check out http://bigbrovar.aoizora.org/index.php/2010/01/10/how-to-safely-remove-ppa-repository-from-ubuntu/ [20:10] Thank you. [20:17] hello [20:18] I just installed ubuntu 10.04 on my dell inspiron mini, and had to install the wifi drivers, not a big deal [20:19] but after running some updates, specifically the kernal headre updates, my wifi is not working anymore [20:19] Anime-girl: it happens [20:19] and ive tried to recompile and install the drivers, but its not working [20:19] theres nothing particularly wrong with just running the old kernel* [20:21] ok, so how do I go back to the old kernel? [20:21] i have had tricky setups in the past where i just set it in grub to boot an older kernel [20:21] what if I don't have grub? [20:21] ive never done anything more permanent, since i wanted to try newer kernels [20:22] Anime-girl: by whatever means you boot linux and whatever else [20:22] just point the bootloader to the older kernel [20:23] I don't have a bootloader, it just boots straight into ubuntu [20:23] you probably have grub, and its just hidden [20:23] !grub [20:23] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager since 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 - See !grub1 for releases before Karmic (9.10) [20:24] Anime-girl: one of the first things i do is unhide grub [20:24] sudo nano /etc/default/grub [20:25] comment out #GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0 [20:26] you'll need to run sudo update-grub afterwards before rebooting [20:27] ok stnady by [20:27] stand* [20:30] Anime-girl: you get a grub list? [20:30] yay!!! [20:30] yup got the wifi working again [20:30] Anime-girl: cool :) [20:31] thats the path of least resistance i say [20:31] you should look for, and get involved in a bug report, or make one for your hardware and the latest kernel [20:31] just so the kernel team knows about it* === yofel_ is now known as yofel === braiam is now known as braiam_ === braiam_ is now known as braiam2 === braiam2 is now known as braiam__ [20:40] holstein, how would i install this onto my ubuntu server though? [20:41] philipballew_: i have a ddwrt router and it has a place for entering the dyndns account info [20:41] it updates the dyndns domain name if my IP changes [20:41] alright. ill look at my router. its a 2wire [20:42] philipballew_: i didnt have it back when i ran windows, so i used the updater software in XP [20:42] i know theres updater software for linux too though [20:42] update what. the router? [20:43] or update the ip? [20:43] philipballew_: it updates the domain name to point at your IP [20:43] oh i see. there's probably a guide somewhere. i dont immagine it comes standard with ubuntu-server [20:44] philipballew_: i think theres a package in the repos [20:44] alright. that would be nice then i can just apt-get it [20:44] i remember trying to set it up in fedora, but i ended up going with ddwrt on the router, and it solved more than just that issue [20:45] so if i logged in to my router i could see if it supports ddwrt probably [20:45] philipballew_: i think its going to be ddclient - address updating utility for dynamic DNS services [20:45] or ipcheck - Dyndns.org client to register your dynamic IP address [20:45] philipballew_: im pretty sure those 2wire modem/routers dont, but it wont hurt to look [20:46] sudo apt-get ddclient should probably work then. what ip address do i give dyndns then? [20:46] apt-get install* [20:46] philipballew_: you'll see, you set up an account, and the ip will be dynamic of course [20:47] the updater just checks everynow and then *whatever time interval you set [20:47] and if the IP has changed, it tells dyndns, and the domain you set points to the new IP :) [20:47] alright. ill have some fun this afternoon. im setting up a media server to store music files i can play then in mutiple rooms in the house [20:48] yeah, it works quite well for me with ssh [20:48] i need a nap though... good luck :) [20:48] alright. sleep well my friend [20:50] hey hggdh [20:51] hi DarkwingDuck === braiam__ is now known as Braiam [21:11] i installed vmware and somehow i have two virtual wirless interfaces now vmnet 7 vmnet 8 can i delete these for good somehow [21:31] Question: Why when adding a user he's automatically added to a group by his username and not added to the "users" group? [21:48] anyone know why I can't do full screen with dual monitors? [22:01] Anime-girl: I has to do with a limitation in X. I tried that myself [22:27] how can i figure out which GPU is in my ubuntu system [22:27] lspci |grep VGA [22:33] How can i tell grub to not show the boot menu and then select the default kernel to boot into? [22:36] philipballew, maybe u can set the count down timer to zero, i know it's a silly work around but that's what i could thing of [22:36] thats an intresting point because ive had sometimes the times appear at zero and other times there is no timer at all [22:37] u mean like 0 = unlimited? im not sure [22:37] then set it to 1 lol [23:41] a_b: HMMM thats interesting, how do I get the X settings? [23:59] hello all. i need some heeelp!
