| philipballew | would ubuntu work as a firewall easily? | 00:48 |
|---|---|---|
| nlsthzn | philipballew: well, it does ship with a firewall however there are more specialized software to act as only a firewall... | 01:01 |
| philipballew_ | how can i have when i click on a say flash drive or type or eternal memory open with the terminal and not nautilus | 01:17 |
| UBUNTUN00B | hey all | 01:36 |
| * nlsthzn waves | 01:37 | |
| UBUNTUN00B | whats shaking | 01:38 |
| nlsthzn | nothing much it seems... all is quiet in the interwbs | 01:45 |
| nlsthzn | *interwebs | 01:45 |
| UBUNTUN00B | hehe | 01:45 |
| UBUNTUN00B | except lulz declaring war lol | 01:47 |
| nlsthzn | script kiddies of the world unite... waste of bandwith IMO | 01:50 |
| bobweaver | hi there I would like to set up (I think) proxychains and squid so that I would be more safe online I would like to make a post on ubuntu forums but I have no Idea where I should post this any thoughts? | 01:58 |
| bobweaver | security or networking or general ? i am at a loss | 02:00 |
| nlsthzn | bobweaver: I would say security, but I am sure either would be OK (and a mod will move it if they feel it is illl placed) | 02:03 |
| bobweaver | nlsthzn, do you think that proxychains are over kill as I was on another channel when all of a suden a bunch of bots came up that had my name on them | 02:04 |
| nlsthzn | bobweaver: I am not qulified to answer that, but it seems for the majority of users it isn't required. I would be careful where I hang out though :) | 02:05 |
| bobweaver | I keep on forgetting how to sign in and keep on losing my password some times when I try to sign in it shows my password and I thought that proxychains might be easier | 02:07 |
| bobweaver | for irc that is | 02:07 |
| nlsthzn | set your password in your IRC client, easiest... or wait for some replies on your forum thread... maybe what you want is a good thing and not that uncommon | 02:08 |
| bobweaver | that way I don't keep on showing passwords that my or my not be connected to my other accounts | 02:09 |

| Anime-girl | ok, Im trying to install ubuntu tweak on my netbook, however it says I need python 2.7 or greater to do so, but I can't seem to be able to upgrade python... | 19:41 |
| pleia2 | Anime-girl: what version of ubuntu are you using? | 19:41 |
| pleia2 | there is an python2.7 package in 10.10 and 11.04 that you can install alongside the default of 2.6 | 19:42 |
| nlsthzn | ... always look on the bright side of life... | 19:45 |
| Anime-girl | ok that was wierd... | 19:50 |
| Anime-girl | my wireless just randomly disabled itself....and I couldn't turn it back on | 19:52 |
| philipballew | Anime-girl, did you press f-2? | 19:53 |
| Anime-girl | yes | 19:53 |
| philipballew | i would restart if it was me | 19:53 |
| Guest7372 | Anime-girl: try running 'sudo killall NetworkManager && sudo NetworkManager' | 19:54 |
| Guest7372 | That should foricbly stop and then start your network management system and cause it to reconnect via Wifi. | 19:54 |

| Anime-girl1 | anyway, I was able to get ubuntu tweak installed, it helps when I use the correct version :P | 19:59 |
| Anime-girl1 | but I am trying to remove a kernel version that doesn't like my hardware, version 2.6.32-32 any ideas? ubuntu tweak doesn't find that one.... | 20:02 |
| nlsthzn | Anime-girl1: still on Ubuntu 10.04? | 20:04 |
| Anime-girl1 | yes, the netbook edition | 20:05 |
| nlsthzn | Anime-girl1: Just checking (thought the Kernel number looked familiar)... as for changing it... I have never tried changing my kernel myself so I will rather refrain from making you bork your install... | 20:08 |
| Anime-girl1 | nlsthzn: yeah thats what happened when I upgraded the kernel -31 works fine, but -32 doesn't like me | 20:09 |
| nlsthzn | Anime-girl1: That sucks... and I guess Ctrl+Z isn't going to undo it either... | 20:10 |
| Anime-girl1 | hehehe nope | 20:10 |
| Anime-girl1 | I can always select -31 from grub, unless there is a way to configure grub to always boot into -31.... | 20:11 |
| Anime-girl1 | I just want to avoid the hassle of having to select which kernel I want... | 20:12 |
| nlsthzn | Anime-girl1: it is possible... it has to do with a configuration file for grub... I know it has changed for grub 2 from the original grub but I am sure you will find the answers online... | 20:15 |
| Anime-girl1 | cool :) | 20:16 |

| FlashSmith | Hello everyone, when you put ubuntu unto a usb flash drive, is it possible to use the flash drive for other things still? | 23:51 |
| holstein | FlashSmith: i have used unetbootin, and made a folder on the USB stick to use, and have had no issues | 23:54 |
| FlashSmith | unetbootin? | 23:55 |
| holstein | http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/ | 23:57 |
| holstein | ^^ that is the method by which i make bootable USB media | 23:57 |
| holstein | should be the same for whatever method you are using :) | 23:57 |
