| philipballew | yo everyone. when i try to install 11.04 on my desktop the screen is really blury when the gui starts to load. | 05:20 |
|---|---|---|
| bioterror | press automatic screen adjustment from your display ;) | 05:41 |
| philipballew | maybe. | 05:42 |
| philipballew | let me see bioterror | 05:42 |
| philipballew | it might need the drivers. but this is a new monitor | 05:43 |
| bioterror | what drivers?-) | 05:43 |
| philipballew | well i did a fresh install last week.the screen showed fine on my old monitor, but now the now one looks like crap | 05:46 |
| philipballew | ya dig bioterror | 05:53 |
| bioterror | w00t? | 05:53 |
| bioterror | did you check your monitor settings | 05:53 |
| bioterror | that it's set to 60Hz if LCD/TFT | 05:53 |
| bioterror | and correct resolution | 05:53 |
| bioterror | just checking | 05:54 |
| philipballew | i cant even see the screen. its all static | 05:54 |
| bioterror | as I've never had any blurry image | 05:54 |
| bioterror | philipballew, are you using HD-15 or DVI? | 05:54 |
| philipballew | whats that again? | 05:54 |
| bioterror | cable | 05:54 |
| philipballew | its hooked up via vga | 05:54 |
| bioterror | is your singal analog or digital | 05:54 |
| bioterror | is it possible to use DVI? | 05:55 |
| bioterror | as DVI will offer always the best image quality | 05:55 |
| philipballew | its analog | 05:55 |
| philipballew | no. comp doesnt have a port | 05:55 |
| philipballew | i might post on a form bioterror | 06:05 |
| silverarrow_ | could there be a reason some sites are slow to connect? | 13:40 |
| silverarrow_ | lately I have trouble with transmission and irc | 13:40 |
| silverarrow_ | taking for ever to connect | 13:40 |
| silverarrow_ | does that sound just weird? | 13:42 |
| phillw | my IRC is fine, but some web pages take a while. Then again when at home the link is not very fast :) | 13:45 |
| silverarrow_ | so, I might be my connection? | 13:46 |
| silverarrow_ | most sites load fine though | 13:47 |
| silverarrow_ | transmission have been a bit weird | 13:47 |
| silverarrow_ | I am connected to two seeders, or one seeder and one peer. It takes for ever to download, a lot of the time not downloading at all | 13:48 |
| bioterror | are you behind NAT? | 13:48 |
| bioterror | is your port forwarded? | 13:48 |
| silverarrow_ | I have no ida | 13:49 |
| silverarrow_ | idea | 13:49 |
| bioterror | start from those | 13:49 |
| silverarrow_ | and when I am finished downloading and seeding to two peers, there is hardly any upload at all? | 13:50 |
| silverarrow_ | oh, so NAT issues are real | 13:52 |
| silverarrow_ | for a while there I thought it was a snarky remark | 13:53 |
| silverarrow_ | lol | 13:53 |
| silverarrow_ | rather tricky issues | 14:00 |
| silverarrow_ | I shall need some time on it | 14:01 |
| silverarrow_ | I have a closed port | 14:13 |
| bioterror | wonder why torrent works not so well | 14:17 |
| silverarrow_ | lol | 14:17 |
| silverarrow_ | but what to do? | 14:17 |
| bioterror | take your routers manual in your hands and read how to do a port forward | 14:18 |
| silverarrow_ | darn, the router is on the second floor, and my neighbor isn't home | 14:19 |
| silverarrow_ | we share internet | 14:19 |
| leszek | hi | 14:57 |
| phillw | hi leszek | 15:05 |
| silverarrow | how do I close Transmission if it resists ending? | 15:48 |
| uris | silverarrow: use the CLI | 15:50 |
| silverarrow | the what? | 15:51 |
| silverarrow | worked | 15:51 |
| silverarrow | I mean Ctrl Q | 15:52 |
| bluelight | i read that lubuntu only requires 2gigs installed. --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements Where can i get a lubuntu iso ? or flash dish image ? | 17:20 |
| bluelight | disk* | 17:20 |
| bluelight | i am currently using easypeasy. | 17:21 |
| bluelight | it used my whole 4gig ssd | 17:21 |
| silverarrow | is anyone willing to test putty with me? | 17:21 |
| * bluelight does not golf :P | 17:21 | |
| silverarrow | lol | 17:22 |
| bluelight | :) | 17:22 |
| silverarrow | you know, the computer to computer communication | 17:22 |
| bluelight | nope. i do not know... i am currently seeking a lubuntu install cd before it is time to goto work | 17:23 |
| silverarrow | I see | 17:23 |
| silverarrow | any problems? | 17:23 |
| bluelight | i realize pu and tty have different meanings though :) | 17:23 |
| bluelight | i do not know where to get it | 17:23 |
| silverarrow | oh let me | 17:23 |
| bluelight | you know where to get the current lubuntu iso ? | 17:24 |
| bluelight | or what ever form it is distributed in .. | 17:24 |
| silverarrow | yes | 17:25 |
| silverarrow | what distro do you need? | 17:25 |
| bluelight | i tried EB4 but it seems as though they are more concerned with their "full time jobs" then hassling with eeebuntu any more | 17:25 |
| silverarrow | 32-64 bit? | 17:25 |
| bluelight | i have a 32bit asus netbook | 17:26 |
| bluelight | 4gig ssd , 512 system ram. ... | 17:26 |
| silverarrow | with som GB hard drive space? | 17:26 |
| bluelight | 900MHz | 17:26 |
| silverarrow | all fine | 17:26 |
| bluelight | the hard drive is a SSD (flash drive) | 17:27 |
| bluelight | $gig | 17:27 |
| bluelight | 4Gig* | 17:27 |
| silverarrow | http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/lubuntu-11.04.iso | 17:27 |
| silverarrow | oh I see | 17:27 |
| silverarrow | rather minimal | 17:28 |
| bluelight | yes, who is gilir ? | 17:29 |
| bluelight | i was reluctent to get a machanicle HDD because of power consumption | 17:30 |
| silverarrow | I'm not shore, but that is the download I used | 17:30 |
| bluelight | thanks... | 17:30 |
| silverarrow | I have a regular IDE 320GB in an old loptop, it runs lubuntu all fine | 17:31 |
| silverarrow | 1GB ram and 700MHz cpu | 17:31 |
| bluelight | it alows for plugging in a seperate ssd seated next to the system ram. the four gig is soldered on the board | 17:32 |
| bluelight | yes, my ubuntu (current version) runs well with 1gig of ram on my laptop. it rarely demands more then 1/2 | 17:32 |
| silverarrow | lubuntu has 256 recommended | 17:34 |
| bluelight | 690 megs system ram now... kvirc, firefox, pidgin, thunderbird, dropbox, and a download happening... it has made use of less then 500megs swap | 17:35 |
| silverarrow | 512 should be all fine | 17:35 |
| bluelight | windows could never accomplish this ... | 17:35 |
| silverarrow | my other computer has 3GB RAM and 750GB HD, but will not take lubuntu easily | 17:36 |
| bluelight | sweet, my 512 netbook will be fine :) i dare not use a swap partition for preservation of my SSD | 17:36 |
| silverarrow | I'm not shore about ssd really | 17:37 |
| bluelight | why does the 3gig system have troubles with lubuntu? | 17:37 |
| silverarrow | it will not boot | 17:37 |
| silverarrow | sort of resists the ubuntu boot up | 17:37 |
| silverarrow | a bit weird | 17:37 |
| silverarrow | puppy linux boots fine though | 17:37 |
| silverarrow | but I need a hard drive install really, not just frugal | 17:38 |
| bluelight | flash storage has a low number of write cycles before it becomes unstable , unlike a spinning disk whos metal serface can be magneticly altered freely with little concern. | 17:39 |
| silverarrow | yes I know, just a regular usb memory stick? | 17:39 |
| bluelight | flash is more like a rewritable CD | 17:39 |
| silverarrow | I know there are 1TB hard drive flash version these days | 17:40 |
| silverarrow | I think they are optional on new stationary macs and hps | 17:41 |
| silverarrow | so this is a SSD with IDE input? | 17:42 |
| silverarrow | or just regular USB? | 17:42 |
| bluelight | no.. pci-e ssd --> image of one at amazon --> http://www.amazon.com/16GB-SaberTooth-AA-50mm-PATA-Mini-9/dp/B002E6YYMI?SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-r-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B002E6YYMI | 17:44 |
| bluelight | i do not know the detials | 17:44 |
| bluelight | i lost interest in electronics... | 17:45 |
| silverarrow | looks fine | 17:46 |
| bluelight | i doubt 1TB will fit in flash memory for a sane cost | 17:46 |
| bluelight | if at all. if so, would be a lage board | 17:46 |
| silverarrow | I have no idea really, I just noticed the new top of the line models come with flash hard drives as an option | 17:46 |
| silverarrow | same price as regular sata drive | 17:47 |
| silverarrow | new technology is always ridiculously expensive, in 5 years it's mainstream | 17:50 |
| bluelight | here is a likely explination for your statement of an existing 1TB flash device --> https://fakeflashnews.wordpress.com/2010/09/29/kingston-dt200-offers-new-capacity-%E2%80%93-1tb-usb-flash-memory-stick-the-biggest-capacity-for-a-usb-flash-drive-is-available-from-aliexpress-com-wholesale-cost-for-dt200-is-not-expensive-it-is-c/ | 17:50 |
| silverarrow | I doubt what I read was fake, I mean it was HPs home pages I think | 17:52 |
| bluelight | ok... | 17:52 |
| bluelight | then it would not be flash, it would be a spinning disk type HDD | 17:53 |
| bluelight | netbooks have extreemly small HDD though.. | 17:55 |
| bluelight | smaller then 2.5 i think | 17:55 |
| silverarrow | no, still 2,5 but superslim | 17:58 |
| bluelight | oh... thanks | 17:58 |
| bluelight | download is compelte, thanks for the link | 17:59 |
| silverarrow | oh, you are correct | 17:59 |
| bluelight | how can i assist you with putty ? | 17:59 |
| silverarrow | i see mac book air has a 1.8 inc hard drive | 18:00 |
| bluelight | you found a hdd smaller then 2.5 ? | 18:00 |
| bluelight | ahh ... | 18:00 |
| silverarrow | do you have putty? | 18:00 |
| bluelight | well, i am sure i can install it... | 18:00 |
| bluelight | if you tell me what to do for this test... i will do my part | 18:01 |
| silverarrow | I what to try if it works on this laptop | 18:01 |
| bluelight | ok, i will check for putty, brb | 18:01 |
| silverarrow | I found it in package manager | 18:01 |
| bluelight | im am checking ubuntu software center | 18:02 |
| silverarrow | i see, you are in ubuntu | 18:02 |
| silverarrow | am an in lubuntu now | 18:02 |
| bluelight | PuTTY Terminal Emulator ? | 18:03 |
| silverarrow | yes | 18:03 |
| bluelight | yes, the netbook is for work... it alows me to read my PDF books when i am not driving | 18:03 |
| bluelight | installing | 18:03 |
| silverarrow | it's a tiny thing | 18:03 |
| bluelight | putty running | 18:07 |
| bluelight | now what ? | 18:07 |
| silverarrow | I'm not shore lol | 18:07 |
| silverarrow | my ip is 80.213.97.81 | 18:07 |
| bluelight | i do not know how to operate putty | 18:08 |
| bluelight | what is the command to connect to your ip address ? | 18:08 |
| silverarrow | that is what I want to try out | 18:08 |
| silverarrow | you have to fill it in | 18:08 |
| silverarrow | you can just goohttp://whatismyipaddress.com/ | 18:09 |
| silverarrow | I have to fill out yours too i think | 18:09 |
| silverarrow | are you in putty configuration now? | 18:10 |
| bluelight | i am looking over "help" in putty... | 18:10 |
| bluelight | i do nto see aconfiguration options that would not take more time then i have .... it seems i would have to learn how to use putty first to be of any use to you | 18:11 |
| bluelight | it apears to be a scripting language rather then a list of commands | 18:12 |
| silverarrow | ?? | 18:12 |
| bluelight | o_O | 18:12 |
| bluelight | it has commands for desision making | 18:13 |
| silverarrow | I open putty, and end up on a config page | 18:13 |
| bluelight | you do O_o | 18:13 |
| silverarrow | mayb later then | 18:13 |
| bluelight | perhaps another person. i seem to have already made an error | 18:14 |
| silverarrow | maybe not | 18:14 |
| bluelight | thanks for the link.. | 18:14 |
| bluelight | how so ? | 18:14 |
| silverarrow | maybe it's a bit different in ubuntu, but it shouldn't really | 18:14 |
| bluelight | no it shouldnt | 18:15 |
| bluelight | my only other optiion is to install PuTTY SSH Client | 18:16 |
| silverarrow | PuTTY 2010-12-08 copyright simon tathham | 18:16 |
| silverarrow | tatham | 18:16 |
| silverarrow | hmm, maybe that's it then, you have too putty alternatives in package manager? | 18:17 |
| silverarrow | There only one putty option in synaptic package manager, which is sort of the lubuntu version of Ubuntu software centre | 18:18 |
| bluelight | yes, i am installing PuTTY ssh client now | 18:18 |
| silverarrow | well, Ubuntu used to have package manager too | 18:18 |
| bluelight | yes, i can run synaptic... | 18:19 |
| bluelight | nope.... not your version | 18:20 |
| silverarrow | oh, I downloaded about two or three days ago | 18:20 |
| silverarrow | ? | 18:20 |
| bluelight | may be a repository listed in lubuntu that is not listed in ubuntu | 18:20 |
| silverarrow | maybe | 18:21 |
| silverarrow | bioterror ? | 18:21 |
| daveo | is there a way if I get to grub and tell it to boot a cd, not winXP or Lubuntu 9.04 which is installed on harddrive? | 18:21 |
| bluelight | O_o huh | 18:21 |
| silverarrow | daveo, should be | 18:21 |
| silverarrow | he is one of the clever guys ehre | 18:21 |
| silverarrow | bioterror I mean | 18:21 |
| silverarrow | sorry lol | 18:21 |
| daveo | well, that's good, but what do I enter? | 18:22 |
| daveo | go to rescue mode and try and mount the cdrom from there? | 18:22 |
| silverarrow | IAmNotThatGuy? | 18:22 |
| silverarrow | no, you should have a grub menu of sorts | 18:23 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | hey silverarrow | 18:23 |
| silverarrow | boot, then quickly press tab or somthing | 18:23 |
| daveo | right, but it doesn't show a cdrom, so tab? | 18:24 |
| silverarrow | IAmNotThatGuy, do you have any idea about Putty in lubuntu? | 18:24 |
| silverarrow | daveo, I think you have to go in bios | 18:24 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | erm! nope. Lemme have a look. 10 mins | 18:24 |
| silverarrow | bioterror tricked me into putty from package manager | 18:25 |
| daveo | somehow, someway, this old, old computer now refuses to boot off CD, no matter where I place it in the bios boot order | 18:25 |
| silverarrow | hmm | 18:26 |
| silverarrow | it is a bit reluctant | 18:26 |
| daveo | i might have screwed / messed up cabling when replacing burned out cd drive some ages ago | 18:26 |
| silverarrow | though it is an option in Bios? | 18:26 |
| daveo | right | 18:27 |
| silverarrow | boot up from usb drive then? | 18:27 |
| daveo | that's not an option in bios | 18:27 |
| silverarrow | you often have to boot with usb preconnected to get that option though | 18:27 |
| silverarrow | there is away about that too | 18:27 |
| daveo | i'll go try , the puter's in the next room, got puppy on a usb stick | 18:28 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | silverarrow, what bioterror told? can you just explain? | 18:29 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | daveo, on the startup, you have to make the BIOS find the CDROM first and boot it | 18:29 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | go to BIOS settings (mostly F2) | 18:29 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | there you can find the option | 18:29 |
| silverarrow | IAmNotThatGuy, he recommended putty for communication computer to computer | 18:31 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | silverarrow, okay and what is your issue now? | 18:31 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | putty is the easiest GUI way of connecting | 18:31 |
| silverarrow | daveo, does you bios let you arrange priority for booting? | 18:31 |
| silverarrow | IAmNotThatGuy, I was going to try it out and get some help from bluelight, but we sort see totally different picture when opening putty | 18:33 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | silverarrow, imagebin link please | 18:33 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | that might be due to the version changes | 18:33 |
| silverarrow | there's only one version in lubuntu it seems | 18:33 |
| silverarrow | at least package manager | 18:34 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | silverarrow, and also avoid pinging people who helped you before and have no idea now =]. coz some of them might be away. use Short forms of their nick | 18:34 |
| silverarrow | IAmNotThatGuy it seems I can't copy putty? | 18:34 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | !imagebin | silverarrow | 18:34 |
| silverarrow | picture I mean | 18:34 |
| ubot5 | silverarrow: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. | 18:34 |
| silverarrow | IAmNotThatGuy, no stage before pasting | 18:35 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | No PrtScn button?? | 18:35 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | O_o? | 18:35 |
| silverarrow | IAmNotThatGuy, ok, I am a bit daft at this | 18:37 |
| silverarrow | I have a prtScr button but how to use it lol | 18:37 |
| bioterror | you press it | 18:37 |
| bioterror | and then you look into your ~/ | 18:37 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | just press Alt+ PrtScr | 18:38 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | bioterror, :P | 18:38 |
| bioterror | IAmNotThatGuy, alt + print screen, are you using windows or what+ | 18:38 |
| bioterror | ? | 18:38 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | bioterror, look at your back :P | 18:38 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | yep. Currently working window | 18:38 |
| silverarrow | http://imagebin.org/170177 | 18:40 |
| silverarrow | sorry, majorly slow | 18:41 |
| silverarrow | first time | 18:41 |
| bioterror | !ssh | silverarrow | 18:41 |
| ubot5 | silverarrow: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 18:41 |
| silverarrow | did it work IAmNotThatGuy? | 18:42 |
| silverarrow | though I have a feeling you are exactly that guy | 18:43 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | silverarrow, yep and follow bio | 18:43 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | bioterror, he is all yours =]. /me is not in a good mood | 18:43 |
| bioterror | me neither | 18:43 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | silverarrow, :P | 18:43 |
| bioterror | I had a worse workday | 18:43 |
| silverarrow | sorry | 18:43 |
| bioterror | mostly listening to some music | 18:43 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | argh! | 18:43 |
| silverarrow | we can put it off to a better time | 18:44 |
| * IAmNotThatGuy is listening to the song that he posted in his fb wall ^_^ | 18:44 | |
| bioterror | using SSH is not a magic | 18:44 |
| silverarrow | though we live on earth, will it ever come? | 18:44 |
| bioterror | you install openssh-server | 18:44 |
| bioterror | you connect to that with ssh client | 18:44 |
| bioterror | just some basic stuff | 18:44 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | silverarrow, no probs. read the link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH | 18:44 |
| silverarrow | bioterror, I just wanted to try it out, | 18:44 |
| bioterror | dont try, you might get hooked! | 18:45 |
| silverarrow | though I think blulight is gone by now, installing lubuntu to SSD | 18:45 |
| bioterror | look at me | 18:45 |
| bioterror | I'm taking SSH connection even from my toaster to my servers | 18:45 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | silverarrow, probles comes on each day. cant stop helping others for that ;) | 18:45 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | problems* | 18:45 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | bioterror, do you know the full form of SSH? :P | 18:46 |
| * IAmNotThatGuy hides | 18:46 | |
| bioterror | IAmNotThatGuy, what full form? | 18:46 |
| silverarrow | bioterro, the aeropress has come in handy, I shattered my press can, well the glass part | 18:46 |
| daveo | i'm part way there, getting it to boot off usb - now to put antix on stick instead of puppy, thanks for the suggestion silverarrow | 18:47 |
| bioterror | IAmNotThatGuy, did you know SSH is a finnish invention, just like IRC ;) | 18:47 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | bioterror, learn something kiddo :P | 18:47 |
| bioterror | IAmNotThatGuy, and Linux Kernel ;) | 18:47 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | :o | 18:47 |
| silverarrow | daveo, is it working? | 18:48 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | bioterror, but you are not those guys :P | 18:48 |
| silverarrow | daveo, one often has to fiddle a bit with stuff like this, but there are ways about ut | 18:49 |
| silverarrow | it | 18:49 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | bioterror, have you ever been a part of an invention? :P | 18:49 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | silverarrow, he left :P | 18:49 |
| silverarrow | who dares to test putty on my old laptop? | 18:49 |
| silverarrow | oh | 18:49 |
| IAmNotThatGuy | silverarrow, try typing the first three letter of a name you wanna mention and press tab. (autofil) | 18:49 |
| silverarrow | oh | 18:50 |
| silverarrow | cool | 18:50 |
| silverarrow | I didn't know that | 18:50 |

| IAmNotThatGuy | lol | 18:51 |
| silverarrow | pidgin closed | 19:07 |
| silverarrow | noone dares to try out putty? | 19:14 |
| silverarrow | wimps | 19:14 |
| silverarrow | never mind, | 19:14 |
| bioterror | silverarrow, you're still behind NAT | 19:18 |
| bioterror | learn more about networking | 19:18 |
| silverarrow | bioterror, yes, closed ports and all | 19:20 |
| silverarrow | though, my neighbor is home I think | 19:21 |
| silverarrow | I mean, he has the router in his flat | 19:21 |
| silverarrow | we share an old house, | 19:21 |
| silverarrow | yeah, I should learn more about networking | 19:22 |

| silverarrow | I am searching through the Tor packages, and there's lots of them | 23:28 |
| silverarrow | anyone using Tor? | 23:28 |
