| Scuzzball | Okay, I'm running Xubuntu on a dell inspiron 2200. There some wieless driver issues with that, but I'm using an ethernet cable. I'm trying to ping google.com. It is an unknown host. If I ping the IP of google, it works fine. I've manually set the DNS server to 8.8.8.8, which is a DNS server hosted by google. | 13:13 |
|---|---|---|
| Scuzzball | What am I missing hrere? | 13:13 |
| Sidewinder1 | Scuzzball, Any reason to not use your ISP's DNS? | 13:31 |
| Scuzzball | Cause it wasn't working on the first try. | 13:32 |
| Scuzzball | And it turns out that /etc/resolve.conf is completely broken. | 13:32 |
| Sidewinder1 | Is this a new/fresh install? | 13:32 |
| Scuzzball | Yeah. | 13:32 |
| Scuzzball | I'm just going to reinstall it. | 13:33 |
| Sidewinder1 | Did you md5sum the ISO, prior to burning? | 13:33 |
| Scuzzball | No, I guess I should do that. | 13:33 |
| Scuzzball | And I'm bootig from a USB, so no burning. | 13:33 |
| Sidewinder1 | !hashes | Scuzzball | 13:34 |
| ubot2` | Scuzzball: See http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/9.10/MD5SUMS for the md5sums of the latest Ubuntu release | 13:34 |
| Scuzzball | That link is broken for some reason. | 13:34 |
| Sidewinder1 | unetbootin? | 13:34 |
| Scuzzball | But I can find them. | 13:34 |
| Scuzzball | http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/9.10/MD5SUMS | 13:34 |
| Scuzzball | That's the link I got. | 13:34 |
| Sidewinder1 | 9.10 is EOL, you were/are aware of that, correct? | 13:35 |
| Scuzzball | I have no idea what that means. | 13:36 |
| Scuzzball | But I'm assuming you mean that 9.10 is an outdated version? | 13:36 |
| Sidewinder1 | If you prefer Gnome2 over unity, why not install 10.04 (that's what I'm using), it's supported 'til 04-2013 | 13:36 |
| Scuzzball | I'm actually using Xubuntu 11.10. | 13:37 |
| Sidewinder1 | Yes, 9.10 is End Of Life. | 13:37 |
| Scuzzball | Ah. | 13:37 |
| Sidewinder1 | OIC, xbuntu, 11.10, sorry.. | 13:37 |
| Scuzzball | OIC? | 13:38 |
| Sidewinder1 | Please keep in mind that every ver., will have a totally different hash. | 13:38 |
| Scuzzball | Oh yes. | 13:38 |
| Scuzzball | I know. | 13:38 |
| Sidewinder1 | Oh I SEE = OIC | 13:38 |
| Scuzzball | Okay. | 13:39 |
| Sidewinder1 | :D | 13:39 |
| Scuzzball | My main worry is finding a program that will chech hashes that isn't a virus for windows. | 13:39 |
| Sidewinder1 | I know there is/was one as I used it in Win to check Gutsy ISO, back in 2007. | 13:40 |
| Sidewinder1 | !md5sum | 13:40 |
| ubot2` | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 13:40 |
| Sidewinder1 | There's a safe link for you. :-) | 13:40 |
| Scuzzball | I actually picked a random one that puts stuff in the properties tab. | 13:41 |
| Scuzzball | And am just going on that the website looks legit. | 13:41 |
| Scuzzball | And hoping. | 13:41 |
| Scuzzball | Lots of hope. | 13:41 |
| Scuzzball | Also, virus scanner. | 13:41 |
| Sidewinder1 | Good Luck! If you have further issues, just come back here or the ubuntu forums. | 13:42 |
| Scuzzball | Will do. | 13:42 |
| Scuzzball | Thank you for the help. | 13:42 |
| Sidewinder1 | My pleasure. :D | 14:03 |

| shahan | I am having problem regarding my NTFS drives on ubuntu 11.10, The drives are not shown on COMPUTER | 15:39 |
| shahan | I just recovered my GRUB 2 after installing windows XP, The drives were availble on COMPUTER in the previous session of my GRUB 2 | 15:39 |
| nothingspecial | Are they mounted at all? | 15:40 |
| shahan | nothingspecial: not sure, my pendrive is not showing also | 15:41 |
| nothingspecial | if you click file system then media, are they in there? | 15:42 |
| nothingspecial | and do they show up at the bottom of the side bar? | 15:43 |
| shahan | nothingspecial: no | 15:43 |
| nothingspecial | If you open a terminal and type | 15:44 |
| nothingspecial | sudo fdisk -l | 15:44 |
| nothingspecial | does it list them? | 15:44 |
| shahan | nothingspecial: http://paste.ubuntu.com/788911/ | 15:44 |
| shahan | nothingspecial: ya | 15:44 |
| nothingspecial | The only fix I can think of is to mount them manually | 15:45 |
| nothingspecial | Someone else might know why they are not automounting though | 15:45 |
| nothingspecial | hang on one sec, kids are fighting ....... | 15:46 |
| shahan | nothingspecial: ok | 15:47 |
| nothingspecial | I mount my ntfs drive in fstab by adding a line like this | 15:49 |
| nothingspecial | LABEL=stuff /media/stuff ntfs-3g defaults,en_GB.utf8 0 0 | 15:49 |
| nothingspecial | But you shouldn't need to do that shahan | 15:49 |
| shahan | nothingspecial: oh! I dont want to to anything manually. | 15:49 |
| shahan | nothingspecial: oh tnx. Please tell me the easiest one you know | 15:50 |
| nothingspecial | Well there is an application called mountmanger that writes to fstab for you with a gui but I have never used it | 15:53 |
| nothingspecial | shahan | 15:53 |
| hobgoblin | or pysdm | 15:54 |
| hobgoblin | but they are both old now | 15:54 |
| nothingspecial | There is also ntfs-config shahan | 15:57 |
| shahan | nothingspecial: oh... ya ... I used it before | 15:58 |
| nothingspecial | There is a how-to at the bottom of this page http://www.webupd8.org/2011/11/how-to-mount-partitions-automatically.html | 15:58 |
| shahan | nothingspecial: but before It mounted automatically. I need not to use these before | 15:59 |
| nothingspecial | I have to say that I do not know what has gone wrong there. | 15:59 |
| shahan | nothingspecial: ok.. tnx for your help | 16:00 |
| nothingspecial | no problem :) | 16:00 |

| holstein | manueljmnab: depending on how new you are, and new to what, you wont need to configure | 16:55 |
| holstein | you want to keep with the packages that are in the repos, so the package managers can manage all your installed applications | 16:56 |
| manueljmnab | ok | 16:56 |
| holstein | if its an application that is *not* in the repos that you need to build, there should be a READ.ME included | 16:56 |
| manueljmnab | thanks | 16:56 |
| manueljmnab | ill google firts | 16:57 |
