[02:48] hallo [02:50] 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] ...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] any good answers here or know of any on the web? [04:10] /j #archlinux [04:13] hi again. i asked a Q earlier than had to run off in a hurry [04:13] sorry === k4v is now known as m4v [06:24] Is there a way to change your broadcast address? [06:48] what is a broadcast addr? [07:06] inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255 [07:06] it's the one that broadcasts [07:11] can you change it? [07:13] why? [07:13] can you explain what you're after [07:13] trying to get my internet to work, figured it'd be helpful for the inet and bcast addresses to be the same [07:14] no [07:14] I can ping websites and get their IP, but can't connect or receive and packets back [07:14] can also ping other computers on the network and them me, but no internet [07:14] Any ideas? [07:15] 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] it has nothing to do with the broadcast [07:15] Well, changing the address probably wouldn't hurt, but I don't know. [07:16] ekaj, and you have dns configured properly? [07:17] I assume so, no idea [07:17] do you have dns server(s) configured? [07:17] yes, 10.0.0.10 [07:17] the XP box works fine with it [07:18] am I understanding right that you're building a network? [07:18] yes [07:19] if you manually configure ip address, you probably should add nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf [07:20] add line 'nameserver 8.8.4.4' for example [07:21] 12.04 does the fancy dnsmasq stuff. [07:21] !resolvconf [07:21] resolvconf is a set of scripts that's used to manage /etc/resolv.conf in 12.04, for more information please see: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ [07:21] wtf is the file manager [07:21] never mind, "File ManageR" [07:24] err, how do I edit it [07:29] I'll work on it tomorrow. [08:17] 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] or better....please help [08:54] 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] hi kanliot ! [09:30] welcome back, sir ! [09:39] sup man [09:40] sup mi3 [09:40] 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] hey kanliot ! [09:41] mi3 are you in offtopic? [09:41] kanliot, I will meet you there. [09:42] did you use arandr to change your resolution? [09:42] or something like that? [09:42] morri [09:42] it sounds like you need to change back to a low-resolution that your monitor can display [09:43] i never changed it in the first place [09:43] was it working before? [09:43] just a couple of days ago the monitor switched to an atrocious 1024+768 and 60 hz refreshing rate [09:43] which was making me sick looking at it literally [09:43] yeah was working fine for a year [09:44] in openbox and in the splash screen it shows the default resolution(1152 *8xx [09:45] Ni idea what the difference is really in the past days [09:45] I can give you the dmesg if it helps you [09:45] can you get to console with control+alt+f1 [09:45] ? [09:48] yea I get into the console- thats how i reboot my pc [09:49] do you log-in automatically? [09:49] and does it mess up at the login screen [09:49] btw i donno what i'm doing i'm just guessing [09:50] but i'm thinking you can set resolution in the console, i'm not sure [09:51] no i don't login automatically [09:51] i tried setting it via console but it said it can't access display [09:52] and the spalsh and login are absolutely fine [09:52] theres a bash command to fix that [09:52] DISPLAY=0:0 or something like that [09:52] http://pastebin.com/NKbCzMxu [09:53] this is the dmesg for the graphics driver [09:53] doesn't help [09:53] ok [09:54] i suppose you could find out why lubuntu is changing the screen when you log in [09:54] but i don't know [09:54] try that display thing [09:54] otherwise i donno [09:54] 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] ok no probs [10:06] having a problem installing lubuntu on my aspire one netbook [10:07] it just freezes during the boot process every time, even if i do nomodeset [10:07] whats the prob [10:07] and i mean the boot process of the setup [10:08] please explain [10:10] i cant explain because you see lubuntu on the screen and then in cycles through the dots and then eventually freezes [10:10] did you check the disk? [10:10] yup, everything was fine [10:11] i'm not sure but if you get dots, you don't need nomodeset right? [10:11] anyhow i'm no help [10:11] you could try the #ubuntu channel [10:11] or wait here for someone else [10:11] or the beginners section of ubuntuforums.com [10:12] up 2 u [10:12] alright, thank you for ur time [10:12] you're welcome === ohcibi_ is now known as ohcibi [16:01] bye :) [18:31] bye :) [21:29] DHCP client ID is the IP you'd like your computer to be.. right?
