| jimmie_ | Whats the best bittorrent client to use on ubuntu? | 03:07 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | jimmie_: transmission is the usual suspect, but 'best' is a matter of opinion | 03:09 |
| holstein | try some out, they're free :) | 03:09 |
| jimmie_ | I cant wait for the day I ask a question | 03:13 |
| jimmie_ | And you don't answer it first. | 03:13 |
| jimmie_ | Making me feel so small | 03:14 |
| jimmie_ | hNNGH | 03:14 |
| holstein | :/ | 03:15 |
| holstein | jimmie_: you shouldnt feel small :) | 03:15 |
| holstein | i like the web interface for transmission | 03:15 |
| holstein | i had a box set up to serve some iso's for kxstudio | 03:16 |
| holstein | i set up the seeds on my server, and used the web interface to check in on it from time to time | 03:16 |
| jimmie_ | Again with the talking about stuff I dont comprehend | 03:18 |
| jimmie_ | So very very small. | 03:18 |
| holstein | :/ | 03:18 |
| jimmie_ | Heh | 03:18 |

| bobobobbobob | morning all | 06:16 |
| bobobobbobob | I want to move my ubuntu install to another computer, is there a way to do this? | 06:17 |
| bobobobbobob | i was thinking like clonezilla, but the hardware is different on computers so I am not sure this will work | 06:18 |
| julie | bobobobbobob, one simple solution would be to put the drive in the computer you wish to copy from and use dd to copy the hard drive | 06:51 |

| bobobobbobob | is there a way to copy an installation from one ubuntu box to another...different hardware though | 15:11 |
| coalwater | bobobobbobob, i don't know, do u want to move programs or settings? | 15:12 |
| oCean | not really a copy, but you can replicate your packageselections on another machine | 15:13 |
| bobobobbobob | coalwater all of it | 15:13 |
| bobobobbobob | I thought about using clonezilla to do it, but the different hardware gave me pause | 15:14 |
| oCean | !clone | 15:14 |
| ubot2 | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » - See also !automate | 15:14 |
| bobobobbobob | plus I think the hdd guid will be wrong, correct? | 15:14 |
| oCean | yes | 15:14 |
| oCean | if you just would copy | 15:15 |
| Edie_ | Hi | 16:08 |
| Edie_ | How can I make my wireless usb adaptor to work on Ubuntu 11.04 computer? | 16:08 |
| holstein | Edie_: depends really | 16:08 |
| Edie_ | I am using tplink 300 mbps wireless adaptor, and in an AMD system. | 16:09 |
| holstein | usually, the easy way is to plug the machine up to wired internet, plug the device, and look for a popup about restricted drivers | 16:09 |
| Edie_ | Thank you for your explanation. Also, another issue is that my screen resolution is very low (1024x1080) and it says cannot detect monitor | 16:10 |
| holstein | http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/downloadFiles.aspx?mid=01030301&version=v1&pmodel=TL-WR1043ND | 16:10 |
| Edie_ | so is it because my graphic card does not have a driver | 16:10 |
| holstein | looks like they have linux drivers ^ | 16:10 |
| holstein | Edie_: well, you are using *some* driver with the graphics card | 16:11 |
| holstein | you can always set a manual xorg.conf file in place | 16:11 |
| Edie_ | I am using this one, no linux driver http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/downloadFiles.aspx?mid=01030301&version=v1&pmodel=TL-WN822N | 16:12 |
| holstein | check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config | 16:12 |
| Edie_ | I am not a programmer. How can I set x.config to support my graphic card? | 16:13 |
| holstein | Edie_: ?? | 16:13 |
| holstein | im not either | 16:13 |
| holstein | its just a text file | 16:13 |
| holstein | i would say, if you are new to linux/ubuntu | 16:13 |
| holstein | take it slow | 16:13 |
| holstein | what you are asking for is going to be challenging | 16:13 |
| Edie_ | but if I use the driver finder will i able to make the resolution 1920.1080 work? | 16:14 |
| holstein | you need to let the product manufacturers know that you are having a hard time using the devices they have made with linux | 16:14 |
| holstein | Edie_: driver finder? | 16:14 |
| Edie_ | included in the os i think | 16:14 |
| holstein | i have no way of anwering that without having the hardware in front of me | 16:15 |
| Edie_ | "additional drivers" | 16:15 |
| holstein | what i usually do is try some live CD's | 16:15 |
| holstein | Edie_: assuming theres a driver available, sure | 16:15 |
| holstein | i thought you had tried | 16:15 |
| holstein | when you said 'theres no driver for my graphics card' | 16:15 |
| holstein | i thought it meant just that | 16:15 |
| Edie_ | I cant even connect to the internet before | 16:15 |
| holstein | OK | 16:15 |
| holstein | Edie_: looks like that wifi device is going to be challenging | 16:16 |
| holstein | can you plug in? | 16:16 |
| Edie_ | thanks for your advice, I will try to plug into the ethernet later | 16:16 |
| holstein | Edie_: also | 16:16 |
| holstein | when you get plugged in, there software that allows you to try and use the windows drivers with linux | 16:17 |
| holstein | get plugged in and come in here, and we'll get you sorted | 16:17 |
| Edie_ | thank you very much, you have been a great help to me | 16:17 |
| holstein | go ahead and grab http://www.tp-link.com/common/getresource/?type=Driver&resource=TL-WN821N_WN822N_100629.zip too | 16:17 |
| holstein | and unzip it | 16:18 |
| Edie_ | that one work for linux? | 16:18 |
| holstein | we'll try it | 16:18 |
| Edie_ | okay | 16:18 |
| Edie_ | i will come back later | 16:18 |
| holstein | we'll try the arusb_xp.inf in there | 16:18 |
| bobobobbobob | argggg | 17:24 |
| bobobobbobob | h | 17:24 |
| bobobobbobob | LOL | 17:24 |
| julie101010 | what's the matter bobobobbobob? | 17:24 |
| bobobobbobob | I have a machine that is way too strong for what I am using it for. | 17:24 |
| bobobobbobob | I am using it for a LAMP at the moment | 17:24 |
| julie101010 | too strong? | 17:25 |
| bobobobbobob | I am wondering if there is a way to save the install on it now to a VM and then change the system into a virtualization server | 17:25 |
| bobobobbobob | 8GB / dual quad core | 17:25 |
| bobobobbobob | 2 nics | 17:25 |
| bobobobbobob | LOL, too strong | 17:25 |
| bobobobbobob | originally it was doing ffmpeg | 17:26 |
| bobobobbobob | just right for that | 17:26 |
| julie101010 | that'd be complicated but why not install vmware and install as many virtual systems as you like | 17:26 |
| bobobobbobob | I could do that, not sure how to convert the current webserver into a vm though. :( I hate to take the chance of screwing up wordpress and its db again | 17:27 |
| bobobobbobob | oh, you mean install vmware on the current box and virtualize from there? | 17:28 |
| bobobobbobob | i could install ESXi, I suppose but then i still need to get this current ubuntu installation into a VM | 17:29 |
| holstein | you *should* be able to dd copy the install, and get away with it | 17:30 |
| holstein | might have to edit the UUID | 17:30 |
| holstein | assuming the hardware is recognized , or vitrual hardware in this case | 17:30 |
| bobobobbobob | i know what you mean | 17:30 |
| bobobobbobob | that is the gotcha, I am afraid | 17:31 |
| bobobobbobob | maybe it would be easier to install ubuntu in the VM from scratch and just move data over, but then i would need to dump db and reconstitue, correct? | 17:32 |
| holstein | i would think so, but its arguably easier | 17:33 |
| bobobobbobob | i think you might be right, then i am only copying the website and the db over....sort of | 17:33 |
| holstein | *in theory sure | 17:34 |
| julie101010 | bobobobbobob, you don't need to copy your current system in a virtual box | 17:34 |
| holstein | i mean, i would try that first... keep the source in place, and you can try the entire system if needed | 17:34 |
| julie101010 | just install vmware player and create new virtual machines on your current setup | 17:34 |
| bobobobbobob | k thanks, i will see what damage i can cause lol | 17:36 |

| Adidas | Hello? | 18:23 |
| holstein | o/ | 18:26 |
| holstein | Adidas: if you get a minute, check out the /topic :) | 18:26 |
| Adidas | Ahh got it | 18:27 |
| Adidas | I have an old Dell that I installed Ubuntu Server on and for some reason I can't get it to ping google.com | 18:28 |
| Adidas | What are the first steps to troubleshoot? | 18:28 |
| Adidas | I am remoting in via putty | 18:28 |
| holstein | hmmm... so you are able to connect to it via SSH? | 18:29 |
| Adidas | yes | 18:29 |
| holstein | that confirms that the network hardware is working | 18:29 |
| Adidas | yup | 18:29 |
| holstein | i would say, if you have edit something to make it have a static IP, double check those settings | 18:29 |
| Adidas | whenever I use apt-get it appears to download but then I get Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' | 18:29 |
| holstein | right, i say you are not 'online' somehow | 18:30 |
| holstein | you are obviously on your local net though | 18:30 |
| Adidas | I set it so it was static...I think | 18:30 |
| holstein | well, figure out *if* you did, then look at *how*, and try disabling that temporarily | 18:31 |
| holstein | reboot, and ping on a dynamic setup, then you know what the issue is | 18:31 |
| Adidas | ok so I assume to do this I need to change ifconfig so it uses DHCP? | 18:32 |
| holstein | Adidas: i would sort out what you did to make it static, and undo it that way | 18:33 |
| holstein | maybe look at your history | 18:33 |
| Adidas | Yeah I think I am confusing myself. I was referring to /etc/network/interfaces, but I will check my command hist | 18:35 |
| Adidas | interfaces is showing eth0 as dhcp | 18:36 |
| Adidas | looks like I used this cmd | 18:37 |
| Adidas | ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.26 netmask 255.255.255.0 up | 18:37 |
| Adidas | so if I reboot will that discard that and return the server to using DHCP? | 18:38 |
| Adidas | also if I sound like I am going about this the wrong way please let me know? | 18:39 |
| Adidas | This is all new to me (including IRC), but I am really eager to wrap my head around this | 18:40 |
| Adidas | ok so I am able to ping google | 18:44 |
| Adidas | What is the proper way to set up a static IP on this server? | 18:44 |
| holstein | Adidas: just back that file up temporarily, and reboot as a test | 18:44 |
| holstein | then, you'll know if that file is the issue or not | 18:45 |
| holstein | OH, actually im just catching up | 18:45 |
| holstein | so, as dynamic IP, you are good right? | 18:45 |
| Adidas | yes | 18:45 |
| Adidas | I haven't tried apt-get yet | 18:45 |
| holstein | http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/ | 18:46 |
| holstein | this looks like how i would do it | 18:46 |
| Adidas | awesome thanks. I will try it out. | 18:46 |
| holstein | Adidas: yup, now you know what the deal is :) | 18:47 |
| holstein | let us know if you need more help with it | 18:47 |
| Adidas | looks like I screwed the pooch | 19:00 |
| Adidas | I am going to have to hook up my monitor to the thing to get into it now | 19:00 |
| Adidas | but I did get the following errors before I got to this point | 19:00 |
| Adidas | Virtual packages like 'dhcp-client' can't be removed | 19:01 |
| Adidas | and then when I tried to restart the network adapter with init.d/networking restart | 19:02 |
| Adidas | SIOCDELRT: No such process | 19:02 |
| Adidas | I will report more when I get the monitor hooked up after lunch | 19:03 |
| holstein | Adidas: i think that package has been renamed | 19:04 |
| holstein | search for what you have with dhcp in the name | 19:04 |
| Adidas | thanks man I will take a look in about an hour or two. I have a hungry wife looking for food. | 19:06 |
| Adidas | hungry pregnant wife | 19:07 |
| holstein | Adidas: cool, you'll get it, its not a big deal really, just a little fiddly at first | 19:07 |
| IT-Duck | Can anyone recommend partition sizes for a 160gb hard drive with Ubuntu (/home on a seperate partition)? I plan on running Ubuntu for every day use (plus web dev. and metasploit) | 20:12 |
| IT-Duck | How much is needed for Ubuntu? | 20:13 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| holstein | IT-Duck: hey | 20:37 |
| holstein | what else is going on the drive? | 20:37 |
| holstein | if i had a dual boot with windows going on, i might do 60gb's for win | 20:38 |
| holstein | and the rest for buntu | 20:38 |
| holstein | i think anything over 20 totally will be fine though | 20:38 |
| holstein | i would consider 6 or 8gb's minimum | 20:38 |
| holstein | ive had 4gb installs | 20:38 |
| IT-Duck | I plan on using it for everday use plus metasploit, gnome, fluxbox, and random apps (bluefish, conky, etc.) | 20:39 |
| IT-Duck | no winblows, just ubunut on a netbook | 20:40 |
| IT-Duck | I'm thinking 12gb for / and the rest on /home | 20:41 |
| IT-Duck | not sure what size I'll make swap yet (1gb ram) | 20:41 |
| IT-Duck | any suggestions? | 20:41 |
| holstein | that should be fine | 20:43 |
| * nlsthzn waves | 21:03 | |
| Adidas | holstein: I am back. Apparently I put in the wrong IP...funny stuff. Anyway, it is working, but I have one question | 21:35 |
| jimmie | He may be dead, or atleast AFK | 21:36 |
| jimmie | So i'd just leave your question Adidas | 21:36 |
| Adidas | alright cool | 21:36 |
| holstein | Adidas: i got a minute, then its lunchtime :) | 21:37 |
| holstein | whats up? | 21:37 |
| Adidas | anyway, I had an issue with my network config. When I restart my network I get "Failed to bring up eth0", but everything is working | 21:37 |
| Adidas | any clue? or should I just be happy everything is working? | 21:37 |
| holstein | yeah, if it aint broke... | 21:38 |
| Adidas | yeah I thought so | 21:38 |
| holstein | lunch...BBL | 21:38 |
| Adidas | alright cool thanks again | 21:38 |
