[03:07] Whats the best bittorrent client to use on ubuntu? [03:09] jimmie_: transmission is the usual suspect, but 'best' is a matter of opinion [03:09] try some out, they're free :) [03:13] I cant wait for the day I ask a question [03:13] And you don't answer it first. [03:14] Making me feel so small [03:14] hNNGH [03:15] :/ [03:15] jimmie_: you shouldnt feel small :) [03:15] i like the web interface for transmission [03:16] i had a box set up to serve some iso's for kxstudio [03:16] i set up the seeds on my server, and used the web interface to check in on it from time to time [03:18] Again with the talking about stuff I dont comprehend [03:18] So very very small. [03:18] :/ [03:18] Heh [03:18] Huh [03:18] Where did I go === jimmie_ is now known as Jimmie [03:18] =/ [03:19] So === nlsthzn is now known as nlsthzn-work [06:16] morning all [06:17] I want to move my ubuntu install to another computer, is there a way to do this? [06:18] i was thinking like clonezilla, but the hardware is different on computers so I am not sure this will work [06:51] 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 === [styx] is now known as styx|away [11:54] guys how can i get gedit3 ?? [11:55] im on lubuntu [11:55] Hello. [12:03] * nlsthzn-work waves [12:10] Hello nlsthzn-work [12:11] * nlsthzn-work continues to lurk [12:13] guys [12:14] how can i install only wordcompletion plugin in gedit i dont wanna install all the packages [12:18] kosaidpo: Do you know what the package is called? [12:18] nlsthzn-work: its ok i installed it thnaks [12:19] kosaidpo: K, cool... [12:19] thanks [12:19] peace out === julie is now known as julie101010 [15:11] is there a way to copy an installation from one ubuntu box to another...different hardware though [15:12] bobobobbobob, i don't know, do u want to move programs or settings? [15:13] not really a copy, but you can replicate your packageselections on another machine [15:13] coalwater all of it [15:14] I thought about using clonezilla to do it, but the different hardware gave me pause [15:14] !clone [15:14] 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] plus I think the hdd guid will be wrong, correct? [15:14] yes [15:15] if you just would copy [16:08] Hi [16:08] How can I make my wireless usb adaptor to work on Ubuntu 11.04 computer? [16:08] Edie_: depends really [16:09] I am using tplink 300 mbps wireless adaptor, and in an AMD system. [16:09] usually, the easy way is to plug the machine up to wired internet, plug the device, and look for a popup about restricted drivers [16:10] 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] http://www.tp-link.com/en/support/downloadFiles.aspx?mid=01030301&version=v1&pmodel=TL-WR1043ND [16:10] so is it because my graphic card does not have a driver [16:10] looks like they have linux drivers ^ [16:11] Edie_: well, you are using *some* driver with the graphics card [16:11] you can always set a manual xorg.conf file in place [16:12] 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] check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config [16:13] I am not a programmer. How can I set x.config to support my graphic card? [16:13] Edie_: ?? [16:13] im not either [16:13] its just a text file [16:13] i would say, if you are new to linux/ubuntu [16:13] take it slow [16:13] what you are asking for is going to be challenging [16:14] but if I use the driver finder will i able to make the resolution 1920.1080 work? [16:14] 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] Edie_: driver finder? [16:14] included in the os i think [16:15] i have no way of anwering that without having the hardware in front of me [16:15] "additional drivers" [16:15] what i usually do is try some live CD's [16:15] Edie_: assuming theres a driver available, sure [16:15] i thought you had tried [16:15] when you said 'theres no driver for my graphics card' [16:15] i thought it meant just that [16:15] I cant even connect to the internet before [16:15] OK [16:16] Edie_: looks like that wifi device is going to be challenging [16:16] can you plug in? [16:16] thanks for your advice, I will try to plug into the ethernet later [16:16] Edie_: also [16:17] when you get plugged in, there software that allows you to try and use the windows drivers with linux [16:17] get plugged in and come in here, and we'll get you sorted [16:17] thank you very much, you have been a great help to me [16:17] go ahead and grab http://www.tp-link.com/common/getresource/?type=Driver&resource=TL-WN821N_WN822N_100629.zip too [16:18] and unzip it [16:18] that one work for linux? [16:18] we'll try it [16:18] okay [16:18] i will come back later [16:18] we'll try the arusb_xp.inf in there [17:24] argggg [17:24] h [17:24] LOL [17:24] what's the matter bobobobbobob? [17:24] I have a machine that is way too strong for what I am using it for. [17:24] I am using it for a LAMP at the moment [17:25] too strong? [17:25] 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] 8GB / dual quad core [17:25] 2 nics [17:25] LOL, too strong [17:26] originally it was doing ffmpeg [17:26] just right for that [17:26] that'd be complicated but why not install vmware and install as many virtual systems as you like [17:27] 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 [17:28] oh, you mean install vmware on the current box and virtualize from there? [17:29] i could install ESXi, I suppose but then i still need to get this current ubuntu installation into a VM [17:30] you *should* be able to dd copy the install, and get away with it [17:30] might have to edit the UUID [17:30] assuming the hardware is recognized , or vitrual hardware in this case [17:30] i know what you mean [17:31] that is the gotcha, I am afraid [17:32] 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? [17:33] i would think so, but its arguably easier [17:33] i think you might be right, then i am only copying the website and the db over....sort of [17:34] *in theory sure [17:34] bobobobbobob, you don't need to copy your current system in a virtual box [17:34] i mean, i would try that first... keep the source in place, and you can try the entire system if needed [17:34] just install vmware player and create new virtual machines on your current setup [17:36] k thanks, i will see what damage i can cause lol [18:10] hi ppl [18:16] hi kristian-aalborg [18:23] Hello? [18:26] o/ [18:26] Adidas: if you get a minute, check out the /topic :) [18:27] Ahh got it [18:28] 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] What are the first steps to troubleshoot? [18:28] I am remoting in via putty [18:29] hmmm... so you are able to connect to it via SSH? [18:29] yes [18:29] that confirms that the network hardware is working [18:29] yup [18:29] i would say, if you have edit something to make it have a static IP, double check those settings [18:29] whenever I use apt-get it appears to download but then I get Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' [18:30] right, i say you are not 'online' somehow [18:30] you are obviously on your local net though [18:30] I set it so it was static...I think [18:31] well, figure out *if* you did, then look at *how*, and try disabling that temporarily [18:31] reboot, and ping on a dynamic setup, then you know what the issue is [18:32] ok so I assume to do this I need to change ifconfig so it uses DHCP? [18:33] Adidas: i would sort out what you did to make it static, and undo it that way [18:33] maybe look at your history [18:35] Yeah I think I am confusing myself. I was referring to /etc/network/interfaces, but I will check my command hist [18:36] interfaces is showing eth0 as dhcp [18:37] looks like I used this cmd [18:37] ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.26 netmask 255.255.255.0 up [18:38] so if I reboot will that discard that and return the server to using DHCP? [18:39] also if I sound like I am going about this the wrong way please let me know? [18:40] This is all new to me (including IRC), but I am really eager to wrap my head around this [18:44] ok so I am able to ping google [18:44] What is the proper way to set up a static IP on this server? [18:44] Adidas: just back that file up temporarily, and reboot as a test [18:45] then, you'll know if that file is the issue or not [18:45] OH, actually im just catching up [18:45] so, as dynamic IP, you are good right? [18:45] yes [18:45] I haven't tried apt-get yet [18:46] http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/ [18:46] this looks like how i would do it [18:46] awesome thanks. I will try it out. [18:47] Adidas: yup, now you know what the deal is :) [18:47] let us know if you need more help with it [19:00] looks like I screwed the pooch [19:00] I am going to have to hook up my monitor to the thing to get into it now [19:00] but I did get the following errors before I got to this point [19:01] Virtual packages like 'dhcp-client' can't be removed [19:02] and then when I tried to restart the network adapter with init.d/networking restart [19:02] SIOCDELRT: No such process [19:03] I will report more when I get the monitor hooked up after lunch [19:04] Adidas: i think that package has been renamed [19:04] search for what you have with dhcp in the name [19:06] thanks man I will take a look in about an hour or two. I have a hungry wife looking for food. [19:07] hungry pregnant wife [19:07] Adidas: cool, you'll get it, its not a big deal really, just a little fiddly at first [20:12] 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) [20:13] How much is needed for Ubuntu? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [20:37] IT-Duck: hey [20:37] what else is going on the drive? [20:38] if i had a dual boot with windows going on, i might do 60gb's for win [20:38] and the rest for buntu [20:38] i think anything over 20 totally will be fine though [20:38] i would consider 6 or 8gb's minimum [20:38] ive had 4gb installs [20:39] I plan on using it for everday use plus metasploit, gnome, fluxbox, and random apps (bluefish, conky, etc.) [20:40] no winblows, just ubunut on a netbook [20:41] I'm thinking 12gb for / and the rest on /home [20:41] not sure what size I'll make swap yet (1gb ram) [20:41] any suggestions? [20:43] that should be fine [21:03] * nlsthzn waves [21:35] holstein: I am back. Apparently I put in the wrong IP...funny stuff. Anyway, it is working, but I have one question [21:36] He may be dead, or atleast AFK [21:36] So i'd just leave your question Adidas [21:36] alright cool [21:37] Adidas: i got a minute, then its lunchtime :) [21:37] whats up? [21:37] 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] any clue? or should I just be happy everything is working? [21:38] yeah, if it aint broke... [21:38] yeah I thought so [21:38] lunch...BBL [21:38] alright cool thanks again
