[09:00] HI, new to the chat, I don 't understand the /msg as explained at the instructions for getting an account, thought maybe it was done in terminal but terminal doesn't recognize it of course, it sees it as a name of a directory. Can someone help? [09:01] EdCompSci: What IRC client are you using? [09:01] pidgin [09:03] Buddies > New Instant Message and type NickServ [09:04] It should open a new window, when it does, type help register [09:05] thanks will try now [09:06] You can also type /msg nickserv help into this window [12:36] Hi, opening Kate (text-editor) on a file with rightclick opens a un-configurated app , not when I open it from the menu. How can I repair that ? [12:37] The commands are the same (kate -b %U) ? [12:56] hm [12:56] bye E3D3 [12:57] i hate it when i think of an answer then find out at the end that they left [13:29] hey [13:30] anyone know it the "wireless network falling out" problem has been solved for 10.04? [13:43] hey guys, is anyone else having trouble with ssh? I try to connect to a server but it fails with "Connect reset by peer". It never asked me to allow the RSA sig. Isn't supposed to do that? [13:46] wait a minute, why is .ssh/ empty, shouldn't there be files in there? [13:50] Here is ssh -v http://pastebin.com/ULbe3ux1 [14:45] oh hai [14:45] can I make it so that a symlink points to several places [14:46] my music dir is running full... I was thinking of spreading it to several disks [14:47] kristian-aalborg: Nope [14:48] you could make a bunch of simlinks :) [14:48] yeah, I guess [17:52] hey guys, is anyone else having trouble with ssh? I try to connect to a server but it fails with "Connect reset by peer". It never asked me to allow the RSA sig. Isn't supposed to do that? why is .ssh/ empty, shouldn't there be files in there? [17:52] Here is ssh -v http://pastebin.com/ULbe3ux1 [18:07] binarybin, check your firewalls it sounds like something is blocking. the .ssh will be populated with known hosts after succesful connection or you could generate your own ssh rsa key (with ssh-keygen) if you want an id_rsa but its not required from the client [18:35] escott: I have a friend at work with the same problem. I found a website talking about some problem with connecting to older Redhat servers. I am not sure if this applies to me in this case. [18:36] we both have ubuntu 11.04...his mac os x partition seems to work fine [18:36] weird huh? [18:38] binarybin, maybe there is some openssh protocol compatibility. maybe your client thinks the redhat server can do talk a protocol it cant. you could try downloading and compiling the redhat version of the ssh and using that, if you can confirm the issue bring the attention to your sysadmin [18:40] escott: the website I saw said to downgrade ssh on ubuntu 11.04 to work, I would give you the link; but I've started looking up downgrading. I think maybe you are right about the compat issue [20:33] where is silver fox? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [21:07] i need a quich and easy way to share files from ubuntu to windows :) [21:08] on windows it would be right click share folder [21:09] !samba | Core_UK [21:09] Core_UK: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [21:09] sudo apt-get install samba ? [21:10] @ Abhijit [21:10] read the docs [21:10] quick and easy :) [21:10] will use pen drive for now and research that later, thank you very much :) [22:15] Core_UK, just share any folder ( ~/public for example ) and it will prompt you to install the required packages [23:56] what version rpm do i get for an i386 install, i686 or x86_64? [23:57] which panel is y'all using? [23:58] Sekm: we don't use rpm's [23:59] If you want to know which image to use, I would use the i386 image for an i386 install
