[00:48] <philipballew> would ubuntu work as a firewall easily?
[01:01] <nlsthzn> philipballew: well, it does ship with a firewall however there are more specialized software to act as only a firewall...
[01:17] <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
[01:36] <UBUNTUN00B> hey all
[01:37]  * nlsthzn waves
[01:38] <UBUNTUN00B> whats shaking
[01:45] <nlsthzn> nothing much it seems... all is quiet in the interwbs
[01:45] <nlsthzn> *interwebs
[01:45] <UBUNTUN00B> hehe

[01:58] <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?
[02:00] <bobweaver> security or networking or general ? i am at a loss
[02:03] <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)
[02:04] <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
[02:05] <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 :)
[02:07] <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
[02:08] <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
[02:09] <bobweaver> that way I don't keep on showing passwords that my or my not be connected to my other accounts
[03:54] <UBUNTUN00B> hey all

[07:08] <tuxattack> best kernel update for maverick?
[11:42] <alexey_laa> Hello! How to configure Xorg? I know about "Xorg -configure", but got an error: "Server is already active for display 0"
[19:41] <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?
[19:42] <pleia2> there is an python2.7 package in 10.10 and 11.04 that you can install alongside the default of 2.6
[19:45] <nlsthzn> ... always look on the bright side of life...
[19:50] <Anime-girl> ok that was wierd...
[19:52] <Anime-girl> my wireless just randomly disabled itself....and I couldn't turn it back on
[19:53] <philipballew> Anime-girl, did you press f-2?
[19:53] <Anime-girl> yes
[19:53] <philipballew> i would restart if it was me
[19:54] <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.
[19:59] <Anime-girl1> anyway, I was able to get ubuntu tweak installed, it helps when I use the correct version :P
[20:02] <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....
[20:04] <nlsthzn> Anime-girl1: still on Ubuntu 10.04?
[20:05] <Anime-girl1> yes, the netbook edition
[20:08] <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...
[20:09] <Anime-girl1> nlsthzn: yeah thats what happened when I upgraded the kernel -31 works fine, but -32 doesn't like me
[20:10] <nlsthzn> Anime-girl1: That sucks... and I guess Ctrl+Z isn't going to undo it either...
[20:10] <Anime-girl1> hehehe nope
[20:11] <Anime-girl1> I can always select -31 from grub, unless there is a way to configure grub to always boot into -31....
[20:12] <Anime-girl1> I just want to avoid the hassle of having to select which kernel I want...
[20:15] <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...
[20:16] <Anime-girl1> cool :)

[23:51] <FlashSmith> Hello everyone, when you put ubuntu unto a usb flash drive, is it possible to use the flash drive for other things still?
[23:54] <holstein> FlashSmith: i have used unetbootin, and made a folder on the USB stick to use, and have had no issues
[23:55] <FlashSmith> unetbootin?
[23:57] <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 :)
[23:58] <FlashSmith> Is it the same as the one that the ubuntu website to use? http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
