[02:48] <izzaboo> hallo
[02:50] <izzaboo> I just made a LiveUSB stick with Lubuntu 12.04 on it (with persistence). Gonna try to resurrect his old laptop. My question...
[02:51] <izzaboo> ...is about accessing data we might create/save in the casper-rw filesystem while USB stick is mounted but not as boot volume.
[02:51] <izzaboo> any good answers here or know of any on the web?
[04:10] <mi3>  /j #archlinux
[04:13] <izzaboo> hi again. i asked a Q earlier than had to run off in a hurry
[04:13] <izzaboo> sorry
[06:24] <ekaj> Is there a way to change your broadcast address?
[06:48] <kanliot> what is a broadcast addr?
[07:06] <bioterror>         inet 10.0.0.2  netmask 255.255.255.0  broadcast 10.0.0.255
[07:06] <bioterror> it's the one that broadcasts
[07:11] <ekaj> can you change it?
[07:13] <bioterror> why?
[07:13] <bioterror> can you explain what you're after
[07:13] <ekaj> trying to get my internet to work, figured it'd be helpful for the inet and bcast addresses to be the same
[07:14] <bioterror> no
[07:14] <ekaj> I can ping websites and get their IP, but can't connect or receive and packets back
[07:14] <ekaj> can also ping other computers on the network and them me, but no internet
[07:14] <ekaj> Any ideas?
[07:15] <ekaj> The internet works when I don't have 'Manual' settings for the connection, but I need the IP address to stay the same.
[07:15] <bioterror> it has nothing to do with the broadcast
[07:15] <ekaj> Well, changing the address probably wouldn't hurt, but I don't know.
[07:16] <bioterror> ekaj, and you have dns configured properly?
[07:17] <ekaj> I assume so, no idea
[07:17] <bioterror> do you have dns server(s) configured?
[07:17] <ekaj> yes, 10.0.0.10
[07:17] <ekaj> the XP box works fine with it
[07:18] <bioterror> am I understanding right that you're building a network?
[07:18] <ekaj> yes
[07:19] <bioterror> if you manually configure ip address, you probably should add nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf
[07:20] <bioterror> add line 'nameserver 8.8.4.4' for example
[07:21] <Unit193> 12.04 does the fancy dnsmasq stuff.
[07:21] <Unit193> !resolvconf
[07:21] <ekaj> wtf is the file manager
[07:21] <ekaj> never mind, "File ManageR"
[07:24] <ekaj> err, how do I edit it
[07:29] <ekaj> I'll work on it tomorrow.
[08:17] <kanliot> i'm trying to get 2 montors to work.  but the virtual desktop size is still set too low for my monitors to be placed side by side on the virtual desktop.  help!
[08:17] <kanliot> or better....please help
[08:54] <morri> hi guys, still having problems with the display in lubuntu 12.04- only that it doesnt seem to be able to access the display- it shows the splash screen alright and in the right resolution but I can only access a session with a working screen over openbox, but not over a lubuntu session. the screen goes blank and switches off if I do so
[09:30] <mi3> hi kanliot !
[09:30] <mi3> welcome back, sir !
[09:39] <kanliot> sup man
[09:40] <kanliot> sup mi3
[09:40] <morri> guys, still having problems with the display in lubuntu 12.04- only that it doesnt seem to be able to access the display- it shows the splash screen alright and in the right resolution but I can only access a session with a working screen over openbox, but not over a lubuntu session. the screen goes blank and switches off if I do so
[09:40] <mi3> hey kanliot !
[09:41] <kanliot> mi3 are you in offtopic?
[09:41] <mi3> kanliot, I will meet you there.
[09:42] <kanliot> did you use arandr to change your resolution?
[09:42] <kanliot> or something like that?
[09:42] <kanliot> morri
[09:42] <kanliot> it sounds like you need to change back to a low-resolution that your monitor can display
[09:43] <morri> i never changed it in the first place
[09:43] <kanliot> was it working before?
[09:43] <morri> just a couple of days ago the monitor switched to an atrocious 1024+768 and 60 hz refreshing rate
[09:43] <morri> which was making me sick looking at it literally
[09:43] <morri> yeah was working fine for a year
[09:44] <morri> in openbox and in the splash screen it shows the default resolution(1152 *8xx
[09:45] <morri> Ni idea what the difference is really in the past days
[09:45] <morri> I can give you the dmesg if it helps you
[09:45] <kanliot> can you get to console with control+alt+f1
[09:45] <kanliot> ?
[09:48] <morri> yea I get into the console- thats how i reboot my pc
[09:49] <kanliot> do you log-in automatically?
[09:49] <kanliot> and does it mess up at the login screen
[09:49] <kanliot> btw i donno what i'm doing i'm just guessing
[09:50] <kanliot> but i'm thinking you can set resolution in the console, i'm not sure
[09:51] <morri> no i don't login automatically
[09:51] <morri> i tried setting it via console but it said it can't access display
[09:52] <morri> and the spalsh and login are absolutely fine
[09:52] <kanliot> theres a bash command to fix that
[09:52] <kanliot> DISPLAY=0:0 or something like that
[09:52] <morri> http://pastebin.com/NKbCzMxu
[09:53] <morri> this is the dmesg for the graphics driver
[09:53] <kanliot> doesn't help
[09:53] <morri> ok
[09:54] <kanliot> i suppose you could find out why lubuntu is changing the screen when you log in
[09:54] <kanliot> but i don't know
[09:54] <kanliot> try that display thing
[09:54] <kanliot> otherwise i donno
[09:54] <morri> as said it used to work fine and all of a sardine it started first going into the wrong resolution and atrocious refresh rate and after than none at all
[09:54] <morri> ok no probs
[10:06] <OptikKore> having a problem installing lubuntu on my aspire one netbook
[10:07] <OptikKore> it just freezes during the boot process every time, even if i do nomodeset
[10:07] <kanliot> whats the prob
[10:07] <OptikKore> and i mean the boot process of the setup
[10:08] <kanliot> please explain
[10:10] <OptikKore> i cant explain because you see lubuntu on the screen and then in cycles through the dots and then eventually freezes
[10:10] <kanliot> did you check the disk?
[10:10] <OptikKore>  yup, everything was fine
[10:11] <kanliot> i'm not sure but if you get dots, you don't need nomodeset right?
[10:11] <kanliot> anyhow i'm no help
[10:11] <kanliot> you could try the #ubuntu channel
[10:11] <kanliot> or wait here for someone else
[10:11] <kanliot> or the beginners section of ubuntuforums.com
[10:12] <kanliot> up 2 u
[10:12] <OptikKore> alright, thank you for ur time
[10:12] <kanliot> you're welcome
[16:01] <smile> bye :)
[18:31] <smile> bye :)
[21:29] <ekaj> DHCP client ID is the IP you'd like your computer to be.. right?
