[04:55] <ScottSanbar> philipballew:  What was the link about?
[04:55] <M0hi> ohWait! whats the issue ?
[04:56] <philipballew> maybe his issue was he hates us
[04:56] <philipballew> and wants to switch to arch
[04:56] <philipballew> i guess he was showing me the theme i helped him install
[05:02] <M0hi> philipballew: people can tell their views regarding their OS choice. Ignore that and if something bad is being said, we can take ops actions
[05:03] <philipballew> M0h what does it take to have chan opps status
[05:04] <philipballew> because sometimes late at night when noone is here i'll be on and ill have trollers or abusive people
[05:04] <philipballew> once I had a lady complain someone was pm-ing her and jewish jokes
[05:04] <M0hi> philipballew: just do !ops and Ubuntu ops will come for the help. But do not do it now
[05:05] <M0hi> do not do it now
[05:05] <M0hi> they will ban you
[05:05] <M0hi> ping them if you have a purpose
[05:05] <philipballew> dont worry :)
[05:05] <philipballew> who gets pinged when i do?
[05:06] <philipballew> is it just that all members have chan ops?
[05:06] <philipballew> M0hi,
[05:07] <M0hi> philipballew: Nope :P
[05:08] <M0hi> philipballew: the bot will ping people in #ubuntu-ops. Dont go there. Its a no idlers channel.
[05:36] <bkerensa> urlin2u: Ubuntu Oregon misses u ;)

[07:46] <tdn> I am trying to use the transcriber program, however, when I start it, I get this error: Unable to open mixer /dev/mixer. What to do?
[12:06] <M0hi> newb: ask for help here
[12:06] <M0hi> this is the right channel
[12:07] <newb> ok sorry
[12:09] <newb> is there an idiots guide for ufw?
[12:10] <Brutus-> ufw?
[12:11] <newb> the firewall in ubuntu
[12:14] <M0hi> newb: search in Ubuntu forums
[12:14] <newb> how do I uninstall winmx? I get an error (no such file or directory) error
[12:15] <newb> there was an error launching the application
[12:15] <Brutus-> newb, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW
[12:16] <M0hi> newb: In the last process, you have removed /.wine right, so you have to install wine 1.0.    sudo apt-get install wine1.0
[12:17] <newb> but in the ubuntu software center says it's still installed
[12:19] <newb> 1.2.2-0ubuntu6 (wine1.2)
[12:23] <newb> I went there brutus I still don't understand it
[12:23] <newb> before coming on here
[12:26] <essdy> Hi ppl can anyone help me with flash disk partition ? I can see both of my partition in ubuntu
[12:26] <essdy> (fat32, ntfs) but in win 7 only fat32 :/
[12:31] <Brutus-> newb, what are the problems with the ufw?
[12:32] <newb> I need to learn to configure it right
[13:02] <newb> when I install a win app when it askes me where to install it do I install it in C:\Program Files\appname.exe or do I have to install it in a wine directory?
[13:37] <newb> meh guess I'll go back to being a windowsfag.. why doesn't linux have a easy to use gui firewall like windows?
[13:40] <holstein> newb: ?
[13:42] <holstein> newb: http://gufw.tuxfamily.org/
[13:42] <newb> I downloaded gufw to try to set rules for a firewall. I fcan't figure out what rules to add to it.
[13:42] <holstein> https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html
[13:43] <holstein> ^^ that references quite a few options at the bottom
[13:43] <holstein> newb: you might have to give it a few days, or read some FAQ's
[13:43] <holstein> changing OS's can take some time
[13:43] <holstein> for me, i dont find the windows firewall easy
[13:44] <holstein> its just what you and I are used to
[13:44] <holstein> newb: you could also try stepping back and state what you are trying to accomplish in the bigger picture
[13:44] <newb> I've never used iptable rules before
[13:45] <holstein> newb: ?
[13:45] <holstein> i didnt mean to imply you should have, or need to have used iptable rules
[13:45] <newb> I read you have to creat an allow whitelist
[13:45] <newb> create*
[13:45] <holstein> im implying that since you have *not* used them, it might take a while for you to get accostomed to the change
[13:45] <holstein> newb: ive used shorewall
[13:46] <holstein> and that GUI before
[13:46] <newb> ok
[13:46] <holstein> at home, i use the router
[13:46] <newb> I use a router too
[13:46] <holstein> right, i use the firewall on the router
[13:46] <holstein> i dont put my server in the DMZ
[13:46] <newb> built in firewall in it
[13:47] <holstein> so, what are you trying to add to your machine and why?
[13:49] <newb> i don't know I read you should allow port 22 for ssh service whatever that is & port 80 for http & I guess you have to allow 443 for https
[13:49] <holstein> newb: to get out?
[13:50] <holstein> you should check first, and then mess with things as needed
[13:50] <holstein> ufw is quite easy
[13:50] <holstein> like https://help.ubuntu.com/8.04/serverguide/C/firewall.html suggests
[13:50] <newb> idk doesn't default allows in and out
[13:50] <holstein> but, you should not need to allow anything to ssh into or out of your fresh install
[13:50] <newb> if you don't set rules
[13:51] <holstein> newb: im not following your question
[13:51] <holstein> your router is blockin *all* in
[13:51] <holstein> assuming you have that configured properly
[13:51] <holstein> then, you can hop around locally no problem
[13:51] <newb> I read it allows all traffic by default
[13:51] <holstein> newb: right
[13:51] <holstein> and thats the issue?
[13:51] <holstein> sudo ufw enable
[13:52] <holstein> ^^ that should enable ufw
[13:52] <newb> I did that
[13:52] <holstein> then, its as easy as sudo ufw allow 22
[13:52] <holstein> newb: thats all there is to it
[13:52] <holstein> unless you are getting an error message
[13:52] <holstein> there are other options
[13:52] <holstein> shorewall
[13:52] <holstein> GUI frontends
[13:53] <newb> do i've to allow port 22 ssh or is that for servers only? I'm using ubuntu as a desktop
[13:53] <holstein> newb: its for SSH
[13:54] <holstein> *if* you are running an ssh server on port 22
[13:54] <holstein> and you want access to it
[13:54] <newb> I don't know what that does ssh?
[13:54] <holstein> newb: so you probably shouldnt mess with it then
[13:54] <holstein> you dont need to allow access to any port really
[13:54] <newb> all I saw was samples so I thought I'd to allow
[13:55] <newb>  it
[13:55] <holstein> the only reason to allow access to port 80 is *if* you run a web server on that machine
[13:55] <holstein> to surf the net, you dont need to open a port
[13:56] <holstein> newb: those are common ports to open on a server
[13:56] <newb> I only need to open port for apps that I want to allow in & out
[13:56] <holstein> web, ssh, ftp
[13:56] <holstein> newb: no
[13:56] <holstein> you open ports to allow access *in*
[13:56] <newb> so for p2p I set the port the it uses
[13:56] <holstein> you dont need to open port 80 to allow your machine to browse the internet
[13:57] <holstein> only to serve a web server on port 80
[13:57] <holstein> newb: ?
[13:57] <holstein> what p2p?
[13:57] <holstein> it depends on the port, and if you are serving
[13:57] <holstein> if this is on the internet, you'll need to add a rule to the router
[13:58] <newb> I install winmx earlier with wine and someone couldn't connect to me
[13:58] <newb> to download
[13:58] <holstein> newb: on the internet? or locally?
[13:58] <holstein> locally it *should* work out of the box
[13:58] <holstein> over the internet, you'll need to work with the firewall on the router
[13:58] <newb> so it might have been their connection
[13:59] <holstein> and now, you'll need to work with the router firewall, and the firewall on the machine
[13:59] <holstein> newb: ?
[13:59] <holstein> it was probably them getting blocked by your routers firewall
[13:59] <newb> the person that tried to download from me timed out
[14:00] <holstein> right... the router's firewall will be ther first thing to block them
[14:00] <newb> the winmx patch ahas the option to allow upnp and its enabled in my router
[14:00] <holstein> i dont use that
[14:00] <holstein> i disable upnp, and make a port forward
[14:01] <holstein> if you are running that in wine, the upnp trigger could not be working
[14:01] <newb> he was saying he was having problems connecting to people
[14:01] <holstein> newb: again, what are you trying to do? torrent?
[14:01] <holstein> we have torrent tools you might have better luck with natively
[14:01] <newb> not yet
[14:01] <holstein> newb: not yet what?
[14:02] <newb> installing a torrent client
[14:02] <holstein> transmission is the one i have use
[14:02] <holstein> i served some iso's for a project with it
[14:03] <holstein> anyways... winmx should be using a port you can forward in your router
[14:03] <holstein> or, you can try and see if someone else can connect
[14:04] <holstein> or use a webserver, FTP, ssh or a service like dropbox, ubuntuone, or ownshare to get a file to your friend
[14:04] <holstein> i think skype and other services have file sharing
[14:05] <holstein> some VNC like services too like teamviewer
[14:05] <newb> I foundd it easier to let winxmx do the port forwarding auto instead of port forwarding.. I might have to do it on ubuntu tho manually port forward my ports
[14:05] <holstein> newb: sure... its also easier to create security problems which probably caused the windows breakage that brought you to linux
[14:07] <holstein> transmission always worked with upnp for me in testing though
[14:07] <newb> I installed ubuntu to try out for the 2nd time.
[14:07] <newb> I tried on a pos 800mhz old pc and it was slow
[14:07] <newb> the 1st time I used it
[14:08] <holstein> something lighter would work... lubuntu or xubuntu
[14:08] <holstein> or just a server without GUI
[14:10] <newb> xubuntu was what I tried the 1st time..I read it was better for older spec pcs
[14:12] <holstein> it depends on the hardware support, and other variables
[14:20] <Brutus-> newb, xubuntu and lubuntu are desingned for old pc.
[14:20] <newb> so if ufw active it protecting my sysyem
[14:20] <Brutus-> you should choose one of them
[14:22] <newb> I;m not on the pos pc..I'm on my other pos newer pc amd athlon II dualcores
[14:34] <newb> how come when I installed Winmx it creates a Winmx.lnk on my desktop? is it cos I created a winMX shortcut on my desktop?
[14:46] <newb> The file '/home/username/Desktop/Winmx.lnk' is not marked as executable.  If this was downloaded or copied from an untrusted source, it may be dangerous to run.  For more details, read about the executable bit.
[14:55] <Snicksie> newb, winmx is a program you installed via wine. It creates a .lnk file on your desktop (like it does on windows) so you can run it. I'm not sure if the .lnk-file has any use on ubuntu ;)
[14:59] <newb> yea I installed it using wine I've the normal winmx icon on my desktop & winmx.lnk file that looks like a a piece of paper like a txt file.. I dleted it the 1st I installed and winmx was still accessible from my desktop
[15:00] <Snicksie> you don't need it, its just a shortcut :)
[15:08] <newb> 1st time*

[17:39] <raubvogel> When I do pam-auth-update to add kerberos authentication (after installing libpam-krb5), what is actually changed?
[19:49] <earthling_> Is there a shortcut key to logout? I'm looking to do the log out option at the power icon. Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't seem to have this option.
