| rAlsobaruwie | SweetieOfAQuestion : I need to reinstall firestater , as I have uninstalled firestater and taken the "headers" off too . | There's internet connectivity in the task-bar but I cannot get on-line. & as Firestarter has 'walked away' from the package list : which I will paste below .. I was wondering how to reinstall firestater ? | 01:15 |
| rAlsobaruwie | packages.ubuntu.com/firestarter | Note No Saucy Derivative Packages »»» http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=firestarter «««« | 01:17 |
| nikolam | I switched to Gufw (ufw gui). Firestarter seems liek not maintained for a while. | 01:18 |
| rAlsobaruwie | Is that included in Saucy Xubuntu 13.10 ?? | 01:19 |
| rAlsobaruwie | Where would I locate that on my Xubuntu 13.10 ? | 01:20 |
| nikolam | as I know, they are all scripts and GUIs to make iptables work | 01:20 |
| nikolam | I put a shame on them for not learning to use iptables and set linux kernel firewall manually: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 01:21 |
| Poisoned_Dragon | lol | 01:23 |
| nikolam | it is saying ufw text interface comes with (x)ubuntu | 01:23 |
| rAlsobaruwie | We al know there are specialist scripts .. but I need to know howv to install a productive firewall for more than a few months until 14.04 ... Can you , without barring me from the discussion , tell me the way to reinstall Xubuntu , given the fact that I have uninstalled firestarter with those Linux image 'headers' | 01:24 |
| rAlsobaruwie | Apologies for my thick thumbs . | 01:24 |
| rAlsobaruwie | That was a a question two lines previous BTWay . | 01:25 |
| nikolam | you think not being able to connect online have something to do with uninstalling kernel headers? | 01:26 |
| ObrienDave | Firestarter is no longer developed and is missing some critical features such as IPv6 support, so users may be advised to look into more modern alternatives such as gufw. | 01:26 |
| ObrienDave | that's from the PPA | 01:26 |
| rAlsobaruwie | ObrienDave: searching for gufw .. | 01:26 |
| nikolam | I know kernel headers are used to compile things as additional drivers on install etc | 01:27 |
| nikolam | see with ifconfig -a what is your network setup | 01:27 |
| rAlsobaruwie | I tke it this is it, the µ http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/gufw | 01:28 |
| nikolam | also one can add packages he is missing but downloading package from packages.ubuntu.com | 01:28 |
| ObrienDave | http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/saucy/universe/base/gufw | 01:28 |
| rAlsobaruwie | opening package site ... | 01:28 |
| ObrienDave | have you tried "sudo apt-get install gufw"??? | 01:30 |
| * rAlsobaruwie removes a q.mark or two .. | 01:34 | |
| rAlsobaruwie | there's no way to-do that as my 'download morrors' a after screwing up .. apologies , but I just downloaded the .Deb package .. and now software centre is do-ing it thingy .. seems to be all-swell. . | 01:36 |
| rAlsobaruwie | **s/it/its | 01:36 |
| ObrienDave | ok fine | 01:38 |
| rAlsobaruwie | Updatez-A: No move so far .. I need a net connection \ switching ito installing .deb package from command-Line .. terminal . | 01:39 |
| rAlsobaruwie | Question : Well .. it's definitely installed .. Now the golden question .. What command do I run in RXTerminal to get the GUI .. up and running ? | 01:51 |
| rAlsobaruwie | ObrienDave: ^ ? That twas In Xfce Terminal Vers~ 0.6.2 , any response ? | 02:06 |
| ObrienDave | gufw comes to mind | 02:07 |
| rAlsobaruwie | just says there's anm instance already running , ; & doesn't want 2 open the GUIint etc .. no dize ! | 02:08 |
| rAlsobaruwie | ***s/anm/an | 02:08 |
| ObrienDave | try killing ufw in task manager | 02:08 |
| * rAlsobaruwie attempt 2 slaughter ufw ... | 02:09 | |
| rAlsobaruwie | **s/attempt/attempts | 02:09 |
| rAlsobaruwie | ObrienDave: I can't find that program in task manager http://goo.gl/sJUhej Where am I supoosed to be aiming for ? | 02:18 |
| ObrienDave | not 100% sure actually | 02:19 |
| rAlsobaruwie | Errata : I can't ufw in Task manager .. Attempt two ? | 02:21 |
| rAlsobaruwie | ****s/can't / can't find ufw in TM ... | 02:21 |
| ObrienDave | do you have "show all processes" on? | 02:23 |

| rAlsobaruwie | ObrienDave: ^ .. ? | 02:31 |
| ObrienDave | well, i'm at a loss, how about trying to purge firestarter? | 02:35 |
| ObrienDave | then reinstalling gufw? it runs for me | 02:36 |
| rAlsobaruwie | there's have internet net connection , anyways .. cpmmandz you could list ?? | 02:37 |
| rAlsobaruwie | *** s /there's / I | 02:38 |
| ObrienDave | sorry, I don;t know those kinds of commands very well | 02:39 |
| rAlsobaruwie | it's a popular #channel Ghehe . | 02:39 |

| defcon511 | hi | 02:53 |
| defcon511 | someone there? | 02:53 |
| Unit193 | rAlsobaruwie: That's not really on topic for here. | 02:54 |
| Unit193 | defcon511: yes, just ask whatever you needed. | 02:54 |
| rAlsobaruwie | leaves .. see µ at Defcon~14 | 02:55 |
| defcon511 | someone got a clue how i can get the window hotcorner functions from ubuntu to xubuntu | 02:55 |
| defcon511 | ? | 02:55 |
| Unit193 | Hot corner? | 02:56 |
| * ObrienDave scratches head | 02:56 | |
| defcon511 | when i drag the current window to the right/left/top corner, normaly it formats to 1/2 screen for drag/drop functions or when i drag it to the top it goes fullscreen | 02:57 |
| defcon511 | realy miss that one | 02:57 |
| defcon511 | stock xubuntu doesnt support that function, but i guess i can install it through the terminal somehoe | 02:57 |
| ObrienDave | double clicking the title bar should maximize the window | 02:58 |
| defcon511 | i know, but i often have to do drag and drop work and i always used the fast side to side method in ubuntu and windows | 02:58 |
| defcon511 | just drag one window right/left and its comfortable to drag and drop files | 02:58 |

| Guiri | I'm having an awful lot of trouble setting up Xubuntu on my new Gateway LT 41P | 11:55 |
| Guiri | It simply doesn't let me boot from any USBs, none of the USBs I tried appeared in the boot options | 11:56 |
| ObrienDave | cfhowlett, now that I have separate / and /home partitions, any idea what this is about? "GridCube> having a dedicated /home does have use though, because if you reinstall / then your home is basically safe,(got this part) you just need to take the precaution of paying attention .local and .config (don't get this part)" | 12:18 |
| cfhowlett | ObrienDave, no idea. I've upgraded a few times with /home and .config and /local haven't caused any issues. best to ask him/her to clarify | 12:26 |
| ObrienDave | ok, thanks | 12:27 |
| GridCube | ObrienDave, you see the .local and .config folders inside your ~/ store settings for all major programs, including xfwm4, so sometimes is handy to pay attention to this folders if something goes wrong | 12:27 |
| cfhowlett | GridCube, so "don't get" or "don't forget" ... | 12:28 |
| ObrienDave | GridCube, ok, I do plan on being a LOT more diligent on backups from now on | 12:29 |
| cfhowlett | :) | 12:29 |
| cfhowlett | ObrienDave, it only takes once, doesn't it? | 12:30 |
| ObrienDave | old and slow but still learning ;) LOL | 12:30 |
| ObrienDave | yes, sir :) | 12:30 |
| cfhowlett | ObrienDave, I put all my Tech Support stuff in Ubuntuone ... essential drivers, stuff I don't want to search out again. That way, even if I resintall/rebuild, I can download it quickly and easily | 12:31 |
| GridCube | cfhowlett, the "don't get" was not part of the quote | 12:31 |
| GridCube | P: | 12:32 |
| ObrienDave | i'm just grateful I didn't bork the whole drive. THAT would have been a major disaster | 12:32 |
| cfhowlett | GridCube, ah, THAT'S what's happening. got it. | 12:32 |
| GridCube | ObrienDave, :) | 12:32 |
| ObrienDave | yea, that was me trying to make it as concise as I could. | 12:33 |
| GridCube | ;) dont worry | 12:33 |
| ObrienDave | not worried, you guys have been more tolerant than I probably would have been in that situation. I really appreciate it | 12:34 |
| cfhowlett | ObrienDave, my pleasure. Just glad you're back in play. | 12:35 |
| ObrienDave | yep, down but not out :)) | 12:35 |

| bingo | is it safe to remove guake terminal and xfce settings helper from application autostart? | 12:57 |
