| urlin2u | Sidvee, you need something? | 03:27 |
| Sidvee | Oh yes . | 03:29 |
| Sidvee | My system running multiple gpu's. So it is heating up and battery is drying up soon as well. How can I get on gpu switch off? | 03:29 |
| urlin2u | not sure myself. | 03:30 |
| Sidvee | Give it a try | 03:30 |
| Sidvee | No one is replying me on other channels. #ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic | 03:31 |
| Sidvee | don't know whom to address | 03:31 |
| bodhizazen | Sidvee, try cleaning you system | 03:32 |
| bodhizazen | ie turn it off, clean out the dust inside | 03:32 |
| Sidvee | Eh. Its happens for every fresh install | 03:32 |
| bodhizazen | or run top and see what is using your cpu | 03:33 |
| bodhizazen | Sometime you can simply boot your bios and monitor your temp without running a OS | 03:33 |
| bodhizazen | If it overheats either it is a problem with ventilation , heat sink (the paste on your CPU), or something is running 90-100 % on your cpu , top will show you the latter | 03:35 |
| Sidvee | bodhizazen, it was fine with windows | 03:35 |
| bodhizazen | That does no mean much | 03:35 |
| bodhizazen | clean the machine or run top | 03:36 |
| philipballew | id run top first | 03:36 |
| philipballew | anyone wanna recomend a good light music player? | 05:35 |

| _schism_ | good morning all | 06:20 |
| philipballew | hello _schism_ | 06:25 |
| _schism_ | philipballew, question for you sir. I just installed 10.04 on a machine with a G4V300-D motherboard and the nic worked fine until I did an update then a reboot now nothing on any kernel. any ideas? google is failing me | 06:29 |
| philipballew | alright | 06:30 |
| philipballew | network controller correct? _schism_ | 06:31 |
| philipballew | wifi or ethernet not working? | 06:32 |
| _schism_ | yes sir built in 10/100 nic | 06:32 |
| _schism_ | ethernet | 06:32 |
| philipballew | alright. well lets at least open a terminal and see whats going on | 06:32 |
| _schism_ | lshw shows it so does ifconfig -a | 06:32 |
| philipballew | do ifconfig and ifconfig -a and paste them both here | 06:33 |
| philipballew | http://paste.ubuntu.com/ | 06:33 |
| _schism_ | different machine but I will try to get it word for word | 06:33 |
| philipballew | does it not have wifi? | 06:34 |
| philipballew | ill help you with out having you copy right now | 06:34 |
| philipballew | id myself open a terminal and see when ifconfig does | 06:34 |
| philipballew | then if ifconfig -a has anything else | 06:35 |
| _schism_ | no wifi its a tower | 06:35 |
| Snicksie | use an usbstick, _schism_ :) | 06:35 |
| philipballew | i have 5 right next to me | 06:35 |
| _schism_ | Snicksie, just went and got one | 06:35 |
| Snicksie | nice :) | 06:36 |
| _schism_ | give me a moment please | 06:36 |
| philipballew | no hurry | 06:36 |
| philipballew | if ifconfig -a has something ifconfig doesnt you can up the interface | 06:39 |
| _schism_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/701478/ | 06:40 |
| philipballew | whats ifconfig -a out of curiosity | 06:41 |
| philipballew | _schism_, | 06:43 |
| _schism_ | that was ifconfig -s | 06:43 |
| _schism_ | that was ifconfig -a I mean | 06:43 |
| philipballew | do ifconfig then | 06:44 |
| philipballew | no -a | 06:44 |
| _schism_ | okie dokei | 06:44 |
| Snicksie | "ifconfig eth0 up" doesn't help you I guess, _schism_ ? | 06:44 |
| philipballew | Snicksie, thats what im about to see:) | 06:45 |
| Snicksie | ah, okay :) | 06:45 |
| _schism_ | Snicksie, it didnt but by god I will try it again | 06:45 |
| Snicksie | maybe it's just a dhcp-problem? | 06:45 |
| philipballew | would restarting the network fix that? | 06:47 |
| _schism_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/701481/ | 06:47 |
| _schism_ | Snicksie, and no love yet again | 06:47 |
| * philipballew ponders | 06:47 | |
| philipballew | !!!!! | 06:47 |
| _schism_ | tried power cycling the router allready | 06:47 |
| philipballew | thats ifconfig and no eth0!!! | 06:47 |
| _schism_ | yep | 06:47 |
| _schism_ | thats what I dont understand I'm new and all but that dont look right | 06:48 |
| philipballew | sudo ifconfig eth0 up | 06:48 |
| philipballew | whats that do? | 06:48 |
| _schism_ | nothing went to the next line with no print out | 06:48 |
| philipballew | thats not bad | 06:48 |
| philipballew | do that then do ifconfig again | 06:49 |
| _schism_ | hmm now ifconfig is showing the nic........ | 06:49 |
| philipballew | exactly | 06:49 |
| philipballew | :) | 06:49 |
| _schism_ | but it didnt do it after the up it did it after I gave it a loving kick with my boot | 06:50 |
| _schism_ | could be coincedence :) | 06:50 |
| philipballew | well does it work then? | 06:50 |
| Snicksie | maybe the cable wasn't connected enough? :p | 06:50 |
| philipballew | that was a thought of mine to | 06:51 |
| _schism_ | still doesnt show up under the network connections dialog | 06:51 |
| _schism_ | and it isnt showing an inet address on the nic either | 06:52 |
| _schism_ | in ifconfig | 06:52 |
| _schism_ | maybe try rebooting the box? | 06:52 |
| philipballew | sudo reboot | 06:52 |
| _schism_ | thats what I was thinking | 06:52 |
| _schism_ | and have you guys tried the program Guake? | 06:53 |
| philipballew | no, what is it? | 06:53 |
| _schism_ | its like a pull down terminal. I hit f12 and a terminal pops down from the top of my screen and I do command line stuff and hit f12 and it goes back up | 06:54 |
| _schism_ | http://guake.org/ | 06:55 |
| _schism_ | its in the repos | 06:55 |
| _schism_ | only thing I have found that doesnt work in it is x fowarding | 06:55 |
| philipballew | i could look into it | 06:55 |
| philipballew | im in lxde right now | 06:55 |
| _schism_ | I think it works in lxde as well. It works in awesome so.... | 06:56 |
| _schism_ | ok rebooted and still n onic in the network connections tab and none in the ifconfig either | 06:56 |
| _schism_ | do up and it shows in ifconfig but still no connection | 06:57 |
| _schism_ | bah may just reinstall ubuntu to make it easy and do no updates :) | 06:57 |
| philipballew | you in gnome? | 06:57 |
| philipballew | no, i can mess with it | 06:57 |
| _schism_ | on both machines this one and the one I am fighting with | 06:58 |
| philipballew | is nm applet have networking checked? | 07:00 |
| _schism_ | nm applet? | 07:01 |
| philipballew | yeah. its the thing is the top bar | 07:02 |
| philipballew | right side | 07:02 |
| _schism_ | dont have one which I found odd | 07:02 |
| philipballew | reboot and tell me what happens | 07:03 |
| _schism_ | rebooting now | 07:04 |
| _schism_ | wow its 3am I have been screwing with this thing for 4 hours. I am having a flashback to installing windows.... :) | 07:05 |
| philipballew | instaling ubuntu is easier usually | 07:06 |
| _schism_ | I know yanking your chain. other than an odd soundcard thing on my laptop I have never had a problem installing ubuntu and i have put it on probably 20 boxes by now | 07:07 |
| _schism_ | same thing on the reboot | 07:07 |
| philipballew | you rebooted? | 07:07 |
| philipballew | never saw you go offline. :) | 07:07 |
| philipballew | haha | 07:07 |
| _schism_ | different machine. I am using this one that one cant get on the net | 07:08 |
| philipballew | oh, alright | 07:08 |
| _schism_ | yeppers no network for it. begining to wonder if I got a corrputed dl of the iso | 07:08 |
| philipballew | well anything is possible. you can try a different iso if you want | 07:09 |
| philipballew | how old is your machine | 07:10 |
| _schism_ | I may have to. grabbing the alternat install cd now. its going to run headless anyway so I figgure xfce or lxde will be a bit nicer than gnome for it anyway | 07:10 |
| _schism_ | ya know I have no idea | 07:10 |
| philipballew | im on lxde right now | 07:10 |
| philipballew | its nice | 07:10 |
| _schism_ | yeah I used it on my first machine I had nix on. was an old dell laptop that hated running gnome and lxde ran on it decent. And now I have grown used to gnome 2.x so I dont want to go to unity | 07:12 |
| philipballew | i use unity. took 1 week to get used to and really like | 07:12 |
| _schism_ | I have heard both sides. I just like gnome 2.x and floss is freedome so... ;) | 07:13 |
| _schism_ | and a silly question, can the startup disc creator create non ubuntu bootable usb drives? | 07:14 |
| M0hi | I believe that the answer is Yes :) | 07:18 |
| _schism_ | wow thats kinda nifty. use ubuntu to create a arch bootable usb drive................ | 07:19 |
| M0hi | _schism_: Sorry the answer is No :[ | 07:20 |
| M0hi | wrongly ready the question. Startup disk creator is only for *buntu family AFAIK | 07:20 |
| _schism_ | lol figgured as much. thank goodness for the suse build service! although all I run is ubuntu so its a moot point | 07:21 |
| philipballew | id use unetbootin | 07:21 |
| M0hi | I used multisystem once. But not sure about it now | 07:22 |
| _schism_ | hmmm ya know this thing has a raid-5 on it (whatever that is) that wouldnt have anything to do with it would it? | 07:23 |
| philipballew | no idea. maybe M0hi knows | 07:24 |
| M0hi | huh? | 07:26 |
| M0hi | I was reading http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1527260.html | 07:26 |
| philipballew | M0hi, would raid cause any network problrms you think | 07:28 |
| philipballew | i said no | 07:28 |
| M0hi | Nope | 07:30 |
| E3D3 | Who can make me a little wiser about partitioning for multiboot ? | 10:13 |
| M0hi | E3D3: share what you did/ planned to do, so that it will be easy for others to help =] | 10:14 |
| E3D3 | or | 10:31 |
| E3D3 | I have an intern harddisc that I want to use with 4 OS's/distro's. | 10:31 |
| E3D3 | 1 must be stable for a noob = Ubuntu, 2 = my unstable favorite LMDE, 3 & 4 can change (now Debian & ..? Fedora ?) | 10:31 |
| M0hi | E3D3: Are you planning to install more applications in any particular OS? | 10:35 |
| geirha | Make a partition for each, and a swap partition they can share. | 10:35 |
| E3D3 | M0hi: I think I will use LMDE the most but don't use big/a lot programs, and fill Ubuntu a little with some games (a rarely do). The others will be experimenting. | 10:37 |
| E3D3 | geirha: thx | 10:39 |
| geirha | The main problem is boot loader. Every OS you install will want to install a boot loader | 10:44 |
| geirha | One way to handle that is to let one of the OS install grub on /dev/sda, the others install it on their respective partitions /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 etc | 10:45 |
| geirha | Then you set up chainload entries in the grub on /dev/sda | 10:45 |
| geirha | I've done that in the past with multiple Ubuntu installs | 10:46 |
| E3D3 | Yes, I thought also that will be the best for me. Confusing for me where the ms_dos-entries in my GRUB2, I think due to (for me new) ext4. | 10:48 |
| E3D3 | I worked before with grub (legacy) but only with ext3 or FAT so I beter try to change one thing instead of mixing all. | 10:48 |
| E3D3 | Thank you very much for making me wiser. I hope it will stay ;-) | 10:51 |
| E3D3 | Last question (for today I hope): I prefer an OLD Gnome like on my Ubuntu Alternate. Instead of the new Ubuntu do I want to download the latest version with a normal Gnome. Is than 10.04 LTS Lucid the best choice to install ? | 10:57 |

| jayhalll | I think I am missing something obvious here, but I cannot see it for the life of me. I am running Ubuntu 11.04 Workstation. It is functioning as a route/firewall for my home network. I also use it occasionally as a workstation when no one is home. Today I decided to connect it to the VPN at my office. Made the connection without any problems. My laptop is able to use the connection without any problem. However, I cannot | 18:21 |
| holstein | jayhalll: ? | 18:29 |
| jayhalll | to: holstein Yes. | 18:31 |
| holstein | i was just making sure you knew that your message was cut off | 18:33 |
| jayhalll | No I didn't. Where was it cut off? | 18:34 |
| holstein | "however i cannot..." | 18:34 |
| holstein | pretty much the important part | 18:34 |
| jayhalll | However, I cannot access the remote network from the Ubuntu Workstation. I am using pppd to connect and the VPN is a PPTP VPN. Any suggestions? | 18:34 |
| holstein | jayhalll: so, you have a VPN server setup at work | 18:36 |
| holstein | you can connect to it with a laptop, and not a desktop? | 18:36 |
| holstein | both running ubuntu? | 18:36 |
| jayhalll | Yes, a VPN is setup at work. If I remember correctly it is running on FreeBSD 8.2 and is running mpd4 for the pptp server. | 18:37 |
| holstein | what version of ubuntu? | 18:38 |
| jayhalll | My laptop is OS X 10.5.8. It just seems weird that one will pass through and the other will not. | 18:38 |
| holstein | versions* | 18:38 |
| jayhalll | Ubuntu 11.04. | 18:38 |
| holstein | ? | 18:38 |
| holstein | the laptop is *not* ubuntu? | 18:38 |
| jayhalll | Correct, it is not. | 18:38 |
| holstein | so, the only linux machine you have trying to connect in doesnt connect | 18:38 |
| holstein | im not sure how that config looks, but you might want to try forcing an IP that the remote network would be happy with | 18:39 |
| holstein | could just not be getting an ip over there | 18:39 |
| jayhalll | Yes, the connection is established and I receive the correct IP address. I cannot get traffic to flow over the VPN tunnel to the remote end. It might be an iptables problem. | 18:39 |
| holstein | could be FW | 18:40 |
| holstein | im not "in the know" enough to say unfortunately | 18:40 |
| holstein | but, i would assuming its config, and just start at the bottom, and build up | 18:40 |
| holstein | if the box is connecting, the hardware should be fine, and the tunnel is obviously possible | 18:41 |
| jayhalll | Thanks. I will take another look at everything and see what I can find. | 18:42 |
| holstein | have you read the wiki? | 18:42 |
| holstein | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/VPN | 18:43 |
| holstein | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VPNClient | 18:43 |
| holstein | i have read there, but i havent had a need to implement it yet | 18:43 |
| jayhalll | I followed the instructions in the second link you sent. I used the manual setup section since I could not get network manager to work. | 18:47 |
