[08:33] <philballew> Good ideas on making a dead laptop battery work again?
[08:33]  * philballew will also take bad ideas
[10:41] <geirha> buy a new one? :P
[10:44] <bioterror> put new cells :D
[10:44] <bioterror> :----D
[10:48] <philballew> bioterror, How hard you think that might be?
[10:49] <geirha> bioterror: why the long face?
[10:49] <geirha> :)
[10:52] <bioterror> http://www.electronics-lab.com/articles/Li_Ion_reconstruct/
[10:54] <bioterror> probably easier and cheaper to just buy a new battery from DX
[16:20] <Herakles> Hi , I am looking for some help regarding Networking in a heterogen Network (Windows 7)
[16:21] <Herakles> Ubuntu
[16:21] <Herakles> My Ubuntu-Menu doesn´t show´s anything else then Windows-network....
[16:22] <Herakles> if i double click Windows-Networks...
[16:22] <Herakles> nothing appears
[16:22] <Player> Herakles: you need to install samba and Windows 7 pcs need to be set up for sharing without a password
[16:22] <Herakles> wait a second...
[16:23] <Herakles> why do i need to install samba..., the live-cd recognized the Windows-Network....
[16:23] <Herakles> but the install doesn´t...
[16:23] <Herakles> how come... ?
[16:24] <Herakles> well....
[16:25] <Herakles> well, thank you Player....
[16:26] <Herakles> you are right..., samba was not installed...
[16:26] <Herakles> It seems i never learn anything....
[16:27] <Herakles> Well i was banned from Ubuntu- forum .... can anybody unbann me , please ?

[16:50] <Herakles> i wrote something like follows:
[16:50] <Herakles> 1700 bone heads...
[16:51] <Herakles> because i was angry...1700 users online and i was missing some spirit...
[16:52] <Herakles> I was banned from #ubuntu  irc-channel, not the forum...
[16:53] <Herakles> all they said was....UPGRADE....
[16:54] <stlsaint> Herakles: why are you using 7.10?
[16:54] <Herakles> but i don´t want to upgrade..., i want to learn a system before i start decide to upgrade...
[16:54] <Herakles> i never learn Linux, and i am tryin since years,,,,
[16:55] <Herakles> constant upgrades and incompatibilities...
[16:55] <Herakles> made me sick
[16:56] <stlsaint> Herakles: that doesnt make since. You are using unspupported and no longer properly documented so what do you think you will learn?
[16:56] <Herakles> are you just another teacher....in the name of christ ?
[16:57] <stlsaint> Herakles: what are you trying to learn?
[16:57] <Herakles> do i look like a donkey ?
[16:58] <stlsaint> Herakles: you are not answering the questions i am asking you. How can we help if you dont answer?

[17:38] <Herakles> hmm..., i installed samba, but the Menu "Places" - "Netwoks" - "Windows Network" still doesn´t shows any entries....
[17:40] <Herakles> it worked in the live session before....
[17:40] <Herakles> i configured ip4. manually, and disabled dhcp...
[17:40] <philballew> !samba
[17:40] <ubot2> Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[17:41] <Herakles> in this installed escenario...
[17:41] <philballew> you set a static ip?
[17:41] <Herakles> yes...
[17:42] <Herakles> 192.168.1.20
[17:42] <Herakles> windows gets 192.168.1.10

[17:45] <Herakles> so you might lack experience...
[17:46] <philballew> but can you ssh into you your ubuntu machine>
[17:46] <philballew> ?
[17:46] <Herakles> i never used ssh in my live time yet...
[17:46] <Herakles> and i dont know how..
[17:47] <philballew> so I assume this machine is not headless and has a gui running?
[17:47] <Herakles> this is my Ubuntu 7.1 machine..., the other is my Windows 7 machine..
[17:48] <philballew> 7.1?
[17:48] <Herakles> it worked from live-cd before..., although i could not access the Windows machine, it was recognized...

[18:19] <stlsaint> Herakles: you have no reason not to update. You will not be offered support on a EOL release
[18:19] <Herakles> best before ?
[18:23] <prateekp> i am getting curl: (7) couldn't connect to host
[18:24] <prateekp> please suggest me how to remove this error
[18:28] <cortman> Can you ping the host you're trying to curl to prateekp ?
[18:29] <prateekp> no output is comming
[18:29] <prateekp> terminal is hanged kind of
[18:30] <prateekp> unknown host
[18:30] <prateekp> it says
[18:34] <prateekp> cortman : i am not able to ping it --- i says unknown host
[18:36] <cortman> Then you have the wrong address or are not connected to the internet prateekp
[18:36] <cortman> Can you get to it in a browser?
[18:38] <prateekp> yes
[18:40] <prateekp> i have done proxy settings for web browser but how to do that for terminal
[18:40] <bioterror> chozen, you're welcome
[18:40] <prateekp> i think that would solve the problem
[18:44] <cortman> Oh yes- you should set system-wide proxy prateekp
[18:44] <cortman> In the gnome-control-center
[18:46] <prateekp> where can i find gnome-control-center
[18:56] <cortman> you're using unity prat

[19:08] <Herakles> Hi, I can not find my Windows machine in Ubuntu..., what do i have to do...
[19:08] <Herakles> to connect to my Windows 7 machine... ?
[19:08] <Guest53005> Hi all
[19:08] <Guest53005> :D Sorry for PL
[19:08] <Herakles> <<--- I am using Ubuntu 7.1
[19:09] <Guest53005> Why so old ver?
[19:09] <Herakles> nooo
[19:09] <Herakles> so old...
[19:09] <Herakles> yes..
[19:09] <Herakles> because it looks better than you do...
[19:10] <Guest53005> If I'm right there weren't Windows 7 released when ubuntu 7.1 was.. so
[19:10] <Herakles> no.., just because i like it...
[19:10] <Herakles> Soo, wanna share oyu knowledge about Ubuntu ?
[19:10] <Guest53005> if you like look of it you can use ubuntu 12.04 w/ GNOME 2
[19:10] <Herakles> stop bothering , please...
[19:10] <Guest53005> ok
[19:10] <stlsaint> Guest53005: dont waste your key strokes. He is set on being stuck with a EOL release
[19:11] <Unit193> Herakles: It's end of life has passed, there will be no security or other updates and it's unsupported, if you really want to use it (though HIGHLY recommended that you don't), you'll have to figure it out yourself.
[19:11] <Herakles> iUnit, what is your age ?
[19:11] <stlsaint> Unit193: omg thank you
[19:11] <Guest53005> yeah, as they said
[19:11] <Herakles> we know...
[19:11] <Herakles> thanks...
[19:11] <Herakles> Unit193:
[19:12] <Herakles> dont meant to offend..
[19:12] <Guest53005> so now everybody can help me ^^
[19:12] <Guest53005> I've a problem with my ubuntu 12.04 tty
[19:12] <Herakles> downgrade then...
[19:13] <Herakles> lol....
[19:13] <Unit193> Herakles: This also isn't a social channel, if you wanted that you can try #ubuntu-offtopic or the network wide #defocus.
[19:13] <Herakles> :P
[19:13] <Unit193> Guest53005: What's up?
[19:13] <Herakles> kick me
[19:13] <Herakles> Unit193:
[19:13] <Guest53005> After some time(since booting ubuntu) my tty dissappear. When i switch to it w/ CTRL + ALT + F1 I've no video signall...
[19:13] <Herakles> thank you Unit193
[19:13] <Guest53005> It also happens when i often switch from tty to unity
[19:14] <stlsaint> Guest53005: have you tried using ctrl+alt+f7
[19:14] <stlsaint> oh, nevermind than
[19:14] <Guest53005> Yes i know what this stuff ctrl+alt+f1, 2 3 does and after some time tty consoles stop work
[19:14] <stlsaint> what do you mean no video? as in your desktop server (x11) does not work?
[19:14] <Unit193> You can check for info logs in /var/log/syslog and the command dmesg
[19:14] <mh0> Guest53005: I have had that issue before, but never really understood why
[19:15] <Guest53005> My Unity works well but when i switch to tty i get no signal..
[19:15] <Guest53005> maybe a bug?
[19:15] <stlsaint> Guest53005: meh, could be
[19:16] <Herakles> Unit193: are you trying to fool me ?
[19:16] <Herakles> I have a problem with my machine...
[19:16] <Guest53005> I can say too I was changing some options in grub(vga=795) to change tty video resolution. It was successful.
[19:16] <stlsaint> ah that may have sometihng to do with,
[19:16] <Unit193> !eol | Herakles, last warning.
[19:16] <ubot2> Herakles, last warning.: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[19:17]  * stlsaint has never changed tty settings
[19:17] <Herakles> warn your parents...
[19:17] <Herakles> ass
[19:17] <Herakles> hole...
[19:17] <stlsaint> HAMMER!
[19:17] <Guest53005> Before that I've had no signal in tty or a poor 800x600 res.
[19:17] <stlsaint> whew
[19:17] <cortman> Thanks
[19:18] <Guest53005> I can switch from unity to tty and everything works well, but after some switching or staying a longer time in unity tty works no longer :/
[19:20] <Unit193> Guest53005: What happens if you  sudo service lightdm restart  from tty?
[19:21] <Guest53005> I'll try now
[19:22] <helium_> lol
[19:22] <Unit193> https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/946572 Doesn't quite sound the same.
[19:22] <ubot2> Ubuntu bug 946572 in unity "unity in Precise freezes randomly, but pointer moves and can switch to tty" [Undecided,Expired]
[19:23] <stlsaint> helium_: sup
[19:23] <helium_> it restarted my Unity session as expected
[19:23] <helium_> do I have to do this in terminal when tty stops working?
[19:24] <Unit193> TTY stops, or you seemed to say Unity stopped working.
[19:24] <helium_> tty stops
[19:24] <helium_> I said
[19:25] <helium_> To make everything clearly understandable: When I boot ubuntu both tty and unity work fine. After some time(5-10 mins) when i try to switch to tty i get No video signal, unity is still working well.
[19:25] <cortman> helium_, you have multivt enabled in the boot options I assume?
[19:26] <helium_> idk
[19:26] <helium_> i'll check
[19:27] <helium_> if it has to be in grub settings, then no
[19:28] <helium_> tty just stopped working for me
[19:28] <helium_> ctrl + alt + f1 = no signal
[19:29] <helium_> maybe it's framebuffer problem ?
[19:32] <helium_> acpid problem?
[19:34] <helium_> hmm i just get message w/ available kernel update maybe it would help? what do you think?
[19:35] <cortman> I'm not real knowledgable on that to be honest helium_ - have you tried posting on the forums?
[19:36] <helium_> yes on the Polish Ubuntu forum about 2, 3 days ago, but still no answers
[19:36] <cortman> Have you tried ubuntuforums.org?
[19:36] <cortman> Your English is quite good enough. :)
[19:37] <helium_> ok I will try
[19:37] <helium_> I'm looking on my syslog now
[19:37] <helium_> hmm it looks interesting
[19:37] <cortman> The reason I suggest it is because you'll have *hundred thousand eyes looking at it there, rather than 68 here. Not to discourage you from using IRC.
[19:38] <helium_> ok :)
[19:39] <Unit193> If you type  dmesg  you'll get more info as well.
[19:39] <helium_> but there's no time information
[19:39] <helium_> how can i start AptDaemon?
[19:44] <helium_> There are no clues in syslog, except "AptDaemon quit" when tty stopped working
[19:47] <helium_> Can you tell me how to enable hibernation?
[19:56] <helium_> I've not solved my problem, but thanks everyone :)
[19:56] <helium_> I've posted it at Ubuntu Forums
[19:56] <helium_> good night to all
[19:56] <helium_> and I also want to greet you from user "bdfhjk" :)
[19:57] <captain-jack> so long helium_ - good luck. :)
[19:57] <helium_> thanks, bye :)
