[00:48] would ubuntu work as a firewall easily? [01:01] philipballew: well, it does ship with a firewall however there are more specialized software to act as only a firewall... [01:17] 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] hey all [01:37] * nlsthzn waves [01:38] whats shaking [01:45] nothing much it seems... all is quiet in the interwbs [01:45] *interwebs [01:45] hehe [01:47] except lulz declaring war lol [01:50] script kiddies of the world unite... waste of bandwith IMO [01:58] 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] security or networking or general ? i am at a loss [02:03] 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] 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] 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] 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] for irc that is [02:08] 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] that way I don't keep on showing passwords that my or my not be connected to my other accounts === Unit193_ is now known as Unit193 [03:54] hey all [04:43] <[styx]> Captainkrtek unban me [04:43] <[styx]> from#root [04:43] <[styx]> z [04:43] lol [04:43] <[styx]> unban [04:44] * Captainkrtek removes ban on [styx]!*@ [04:44] <[styx]> what the?

[11:42] Hello! How to configure Xorg? I know about "Xorg -configure", but got an error: "Server is already active for display 0" === TheDaniel0108 is now known as Daniel0108 === Guest5054 is now known as JackyAlcine [19:41] 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] Anime-girl: what version of ubuntu are you using? [19:42] there is an python2.7 package in 10.10 and 11.04 that you can install alongside the default of 2.6 [19:45] ... always look on the bright side of life... [19:50] ok that was wierd... [19:52] my wireless just randomly disabled itself....and I couldn't turn it back on [19:53] Anime-girl, did you press f-2? [19:53] yes [19:53] i would restart if it was me [19:54] Anime-girl: try running 'sudo killall NetworkManager && sudo NetworkManager' [19:54] That should foricbly stop and then start your network management system and cause it to reconnect via Wifi. === Guest7372 is now known as JackyAlcine [19:59] anyway, I was able to get ubuntu tweak installed, it helps when I use the correct version :P [20:02] 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] Anime-girl1: still on Ubuntu 10.04? [20:05] yes, the netbook edition [20:08] 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] nlsthzn: yeah thats what happened when I upgraded the kernel -31 works fine, but -32 doesn't like me [20:10] Anime-girl1: That sucks... and I guess Ctrl+Z isn't going to undo it either... [20:10] hehehe nope [20:11] I can always select -31 from grub, unless there is a way to configure grub to always boot into -31.... [20:12] I just want to avoid the hassle of having to select which kernel I want... [20:15] 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...
