| frigginglorious | hey guys ive been cruising forum posts for about 5 hours now trying to get my FTP server working | 01:09 |
|---|---|---|
| frigginglorious | is there anyone on who can help a brother out? | 01:09 |
| halfduplex | frigginglorious: server or client? | 01:12 |
| halfduplex | lol | 01:12 |
| frigginglorious | server | 01:12 |
| halfduplex | server | 01:12 |
| halfduplex | misread | 01:12 |
| halfduplex | what one? | 01:12 |
| frigginglorious | i was using pure-ftpd just fine | 01:12 |
| frigginglorious | but ive tried installing 3 different servers | 01:13 |
| frigginglorious | it has to be some funky port thing | 01:13 |
| frigginglorious | i should have never upgraded :( | 01:13 |
| halfduplex | oh | 01:13 |
| frigginglorious | i can connect to the server locally just fine | 01:14 |
| frigginglorious | it works from the machine | 01:14 |
| frigginglorious | but obviously that isnt useful | 01:14 |
| halfduplex | something to do with listening ip? | 01:14 |
| frigginglorious | and no matter what server i try, i keep getting the ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server error | 01:15 |
| frigginglorious | i think it has to be | 01:15 |
| frigginglorious | ive been trying to do something with iptables | 01:15 |
| halfduplex | digging the hole deeper? | 01:16 |
| frigginglorious | probably | 01:16 |
| frigginglorious | ive been so frustrated ive just been running random commands ive found on forums | 01:16 |
| frigginglorious | any idea why it would start giving me the ECONNREFUSED - Connection refused by server error after upgrading? | 01:18 |
| halfduplex | no sorry | 01:19 |

| joel135 | I cannot log in to my beautiful lubuntu desktop :( Yesterday, I accidentally shut down my computer while updating some packages. I just recalled this, so I ran apt-get update. It told me to fix some problems with dpkg, so I did that followed by an update&upgrade. | 07:00 |
| joel135 | I get to the login screen, but as I log in, my screen goes black (like when changing its mode) and I'm yet again presented with the login screen. | 07:02 |
| joel135 | Where should I start? Looking in some logs? If so, which? | 07:04 |
| joel135 | I'm trying chown .Xauthority now -- read on the internet that it may help | 07:08 |
| joel135 | *phew* it worked :) | 07:10 |
| polix | hi there :) | 11:01 |
| polix | is there a ppa for VLC-player for getting newest version on lubuntu 12.10? | 11:01 |
| koud | Hello I have a question regarding system policy settings and network connection | 17:59 |
| koud | is there someway I can change the network applet to make a user connection instead of a "all users" connection in order to not have to write admin password when adding a new wifi network? | 18:00 |
| dean_ | Hi I wonder if someone could help me I have a windows and a lubuntu partition and I have just tried to transfer some music from lubuntu to my windows partition and it came up with an error and now I have lost my files | 18:39 |
| bioterror | you have ntfs-3g installed? | 18:41 |
| dean_ | bioterror, Not too sure but I have been using it and had no problems until just | 18:42 |
| dean_ | bioterror, I have just checked I do have ntfs-3g installed | 18:44 |
| bioterror | what was the error? | 18:44 |
| dean_ | When I tried to transfer my music files to my windows partition it was saying permission denied and deleted the tracks apart from the folders they were in which are now empty | 18:45 |
| dean_ | Do windows and linux not play nicely installed next to each other? | 18:47 |
| bioterror | they do | 18:47 |
| bioterror | but people really should use fstab | 18:47 |
| dean_ | whats fstab? | 18:48 |
| dean_ | So have I lost my files now is there no way to retrieve them again? | 18:49 |
| bioterror | probably no | 18:50 |
| dean_ | Do you have any reason why this has happened? It was ok before? | 18:51 |
| p3-256mb | i am new to gnu/linux and managed to installed lubuntu 12.04 on my Pentium III 256 MB RAM laptop. I want to watch youtube videos *without* installing adobe flash. Can someone who has done it on a similar spec laptop tell me how? | 18:55 |
| dean_ | p3-256mb, You cant youtube relies on flash player | 18:56 |
| dean_ | p3-256mb, Chrome has its own flash built in though | 18:57 |
| klausl | Hello! | 18:59 |
| bioterror | ha | 19:00 |
| bioterror | p3-256mb, http://www.youtube.com/html5 | 19:00 |
| bioterror | join the survey | 19:00 |
| klausl | How do I get the disk index? So I can see which disks are connected. | 19:00 |
| p3-256mb | i do not want to use chrome. chromium is a bit slower than firefox on my Pentium 3 laptop. html5 does NOT work on most youtube videos | 19:00 |
| bioterror | klausl, sudo blkid for example | 19:01 |
| klausl | bioterror: No no! I mean like the work with Windows. Is there not in Lubuntu? | 19:02 |
| klausl | bioterror: Sorry for my bad english! No no! I mean like the workplace with Windows. Is there not in Lubuntu? | 19:02 |
| bioterror | I dont understand what you're after | 19:03 |
| klausl | bioterror: Where can I open the hard disk? | 19:03 |
| bioterror | on your table? | 19:04 |
| klausl | bioterror: No no! You don`t understand what I mean! Do you know Windows 7? | 19:04 |
| bioterror | I do, I use it on my work laptop | 19:05 |
| klausl | bioterror: And there is a Folder with Computer! Do you know? | 19:05 |
| bioterror | and? | 19:06 |
| klausl | bioterror: Does it give so a Folder in Lubuntu too? | 19:06 |
| bioterror | you have next to start button this file manager | 19:06 |
| bioterror | doesnt it do the same? | 19:07 |
| klausl | bioterror: Correct! | 19:07 |
| bioterror | :D | 19:07 |
| bioterror | sooo, what next | 19:08 |
| bioterror | p3-256mb, use youtube downloader and watch with mplayer | 19:08 |
| ladkiwi | hell | 19:28 |
| ladkiwi | hello | 19:28 |
| ladkiwi | Every time I log in to the laptop, it prompts me to enter the password for the default keyring. | 19:32 |
| ladkiwi | Is there any way to get Lubuntu to automatically connect to my wireless network without having to go through this keyring app and manual network selection? | 19:32 |
| bioterror | ladkiwi, yes. add tap to All users in the network settings | 19:56 |
| ladkiwi | bioterror, it was already done for all wireless connexions | 19:56 |
| bioterror | technically it should not ask then | 19:58 |
| chaospsychex | hi | 21:17 |
| chaospsychex | i've downloaded the latest iso and was wondering if I could just DD it to a usb thumbstick to run the installer? is the lubuntu iso a hybrid iso ? | 21:18 |
| bioterror | yes | 21:19 |
| chaospsychex | ok thanks | 21:20 |
| zleap | erm you could use start up disk creator to make a usb install media | 22:04 |
| bioterror | why? | 22:06 |
| zleap | just a suggestion as to how to do things | 22:06 |
| bioterror | sounds difficult | 22:09 |
| bioterror | and a good waste of that feature that was finally included in ubuntu isos | 22:09 |
| focus_it | Is there a good place to go to for Lubuntu on arm / Lubuntu from sources? | 23:10 |
| xnox | focus_it: here or ubuntu-arm. | 23:12 |
| xnox | focus_it: not sure what you mean "from sources" though, since ubuntu is binary distribution. | 23:13 |
| focus_it | arm is naff environment - have to build everything from source files | 23:13 |
| Jimbo_ | Can anyone here answer any questions about installation? | 23:15 |
| focus_it | can try | 23:16 |
| Jimbo_ | I'm an inexperienced linux user. Been using Ubuntu 11.04. Getting sick of upgrades every 6 months. And my laptop is slowing. Can I install Lubuntu on top of my current installation? | 23:18 |
| focus_it | Normally yes - not sure the full meaning of on top - do you mean separate partition or overwriting ubuntu and keeping all the old data? | 23:19 |
| Jimbo_ | Overwriting Ubuntu and keeping all my old partitions and data | 23:20 |
| focus_it | Slow laptop? change the disk for an SSD or a 7200 RPM - makes your laptop work like a desktop PC :-) | 23:20 |
| focus_it | No need to upgrade ubuntu if you don't want to! I rarely upgrade. | 23:21 |
| focus_it | When support is lost, I may upgrade. Newer Ubuntu has more drivers - so if I have new printers or network cards, I am forced to upgrade. But on average, my ubuntu install lasts 3 years before upgrades because the updates still keep coming. | 23:22 |
| Jimbo_ | It's got a ATA disk, and pretty sure it is already 7200 RPM. Machine is a high end Gateway. Very expensive, and I am not ready to trash it. . But it was built in '03, and kinda slow. | 23:23 |
| Jimbo_ | Thanks by the way, for talking to me. | 23:23 |
| focus_it | what processor | 23:23 |
| Jimbo_ | Pentium III I think. Not sure how to find out from Ubuntu. . I don't have the manual nearby. | 23:24 |
| focus_it | In terminal you can type gnome-system-monitor and on the system page you see memory and processor | 23:25 |
| focus_it | what memory you have? | 23:25 |
| focus_it | if its P3, personally I would move out all your data to external disk and then completely re-install with a fresh copy of Lubuntu | 23:26 |
| focus_it | that way you get best speed. | 23:26 |
| Jimbo_ | Thanks. Intel Pentium 4 Mobile 1.6ghz. | 23:26 |
| focus_it | more than fast enough for Lubuntu | 23:27 |
| Jimbo_ | I don't have a USB2. Very slow to backup all my data. | 23:27 |
| focus_it | do you have another Linux PC and ethernet connection to that PC? | 23:28 |
| Jimbo_ | No | 23:28 |
| Jimbo_ | Actually, I might be able to get one... | 23:28 |
| focus_it | If you can, then you can run ssh and copy everything over | 23:29 |
| Jimbo_ | SSH? DO I need a switch or hub for that? | 23:29 |
| focus_it | ssh is just secure file transfer | 23:30 |
| Jimbo_ | How do you hook it up? Do I just need some sort of ethernet crossover cable? | 23:30 |
| focus_it | You need a switch and then you connect your laptop and the PC to the switch. | 23:31 |
| focus_it | You may instead have a router - that is much better. They usually come with 4 ethernet ports on the back. | 23:32 |
| focus_it | That would allow you to connect the laptop and PC together. | 23:32 |
| Jimbo_ | Ok. I'll see if I can get that. Do you have any advice for how I am supposed to get my Evolution email back into the Lubuntu email client? | 23:32 |
| focus_it | the directory /home/Jimbo_/.evolution will contain everything - assuming your login name is Jimbo_ | 23:35 |
| Jimbo_ | Cab the email store be imported into the client (whatever it is) in Lubuntu? | 23:36 |
| focus_it | set up evolution which will create .evolution directory in home directory. And then copy over that the previously saved /home/Jimbo_/.evolution directory | 23:36 |
| focus_it | that might be quickest | 23:37 |
| focus_it | otherwise, you can export everything in mbox format and re-import it - i haven't done that yet myself yet tho | 23:37 |
| Jimbo_ | Ok. So just to recap... You think Lubuntu will run fine on my machine? And it will see my existing partitions? But I should wipe the ubuntu partition clean before installing Lubuntu? | 23:38 |
| focus_it | Correct - wipe after saving the data first | 23:38 |
| focus_it | remember the .evolution and other "." files are hidden. You need to set view->hidden files in Nautilus to be able to see them | 23:39 |
| focus_it | if you are saving individual directories. | 23:40 |
| Jimbo_ | Ok. OOPS forgot to ask. .. Do I need to install SSH on both machines? Or is this something built into Linux? | 23:40 |
| focus_it | May be better if you back up the entire home directory. | 23:40 |
| focus_it | you can check if ssh and openssh is installed - if not install them | 23:42 |
| Jimbo_ | I will see if I can get a loaner machine and router this week to do the backup (and install). Do I have to worry about upgrading Lubuntu every 6 months like Ubuntu? | 23:42 |
| focus_it | yes - but you don't have to unless you gain something from it. the updates keep coming automatically | 23:43 |
| Jimbo_ | Ok Thanks for all your time and advice! Have a good week | 23:43 |
| focus_it | great! :-) | 23:44 |
| Shy | How do I get my mouse scroll wheel working in lubuntu? Currently the only way of scrolling is dragging the scroll bar down, or using the arrow keys; it is quite annoying. I am running in virtual box~. | 23:45 |
