well, sure.. but then comes tousands of applications .. thats probably not the case with the server edition
loffe: no it is not safe... of all the packages of a dsitribution the libc is probably the most likely to cause problems if upgraded separatly
squid.. please elaborate:)
ActionParsnip, but I can't do that from the login screen, can I?
JenniferB2: true, the server edition gives you maximum free ram and no x server running
JenniferB2: the server version has access to the same repo's/programs as the desktop version of ubuntu does :)

ziroday: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d7b55bddd
johnfg: no, but you dont need root, with sudo / gksudo you can do everything that root can do. Thats why the account is disabled
cole_c: err sorry, so iwlist wlan0 scanning does not work?
erUSUL, ok. I wanna try out the arduino platform, and they say this. Bottom of page: http://www.arduino.cc/playground/Linux/Ubuntu
JenniferB2: Sorry (pressed enter by mistake)!! For work, its a proxy server, I just used desktop ubuntu and it works GREAT!!
JenniferB2, Be aware, too, that the server kernel is *not* the same kernel as desktop, but one that has been optimized for server.
johnfg: it also adds security if it is disabled as there is a 0% chance of loggin on as the account
I'm also gonna be setting up a new computer with Ubuntu... ubuntu-9.04-desktop-i386.iso.torrent is the one I want to grab, right? I have an 8.10 install disc around somewhere, but newer distribution generally = better
johnfg: so an attacker must guess username AND password
erUSUL, To upgrade gcc-avr I need a newer libc6, and that feels risky...
"Ex-Chat"
Grath: yep
Alright
ActionParsnip, OK, I agree, but that's not the problem. Is there a way for me to login and fix up what I messed up?
ziroday: wlan0 no scan results
ACTION hopes the sound card will work right with Ubuntu... don't wanna have to install XP just so the media comp will work right
loffe: no a newer libc6 a newer "avr-libc" not the same thing
It may be just telling the system to start up kerberos.
johnfg: you can boot to root recovery console from grub and fix stuff there (from the console itself or make a new user whom is a member of the admin group and login as that)
erUSUL, well, gcc-avr depends on a newer libc6
loffe: so it should be pretty safe to do the upgrade
ACTION back home
cole_c: bummer, whats the model of that wireless card again?
loffe: :|
ziroday: lol its edimax
cole_c: okay, and pastebin lsmod for me again please
ziroday: ok :)
ActionParsnip, So, is the recovery console at the grub menu? Or do an e, to get into edit mode, then e again to edit, and add s at the end of the line for single user mode?
loffe: well at this point is up to you... why not do the full upgrade ?
johnfg: esc when grub shows -> select recovery mode for your kernel and then select root, you now have a console with which you can fix what you need
cole_c: I'm not sure I can help you any further, but http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=757607 should
erUSUL, I've thought about it. But my experice tells me upgrading sometimes breaks. So i will wait till I have a spare computer, just to be safe
loffe: ok; fair enough
ziroday: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/d3bf5def
ziroday: ok, thanx for trying :)
cole_c: sorry :)
ziroday: no probs :)

erUSUL, thanks anyway. I guess I'll have to wait until I upgrade to jaunty

good morning
My audio output via my speakers/headphones doesn't work anymore on Hardy 8.04. This manifested after I tried to install various plugins for firefox(I think java ones). I tried some stuff from this link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting like using apititude to reinstall alsa - but it still doesn't let me hear anything. I can however use my microphone on ekiga, for example.
"Ex-Chat"
would anyone know how I should go about fixing this?

a way to get the ubuntu version from the command line?
!version | skyl
skyl: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy »

hi all, i am using ubuntu 9.04 :)
well , to start with i have iwl3945 kernel module loaded in my configuration , but I can't seem to get NetworkManager to work,
the NetworkManager applet icon on the top panel doesn't have anything enabled.
"Sto andando via"
how can I debug this issue?
hey people, I just rebooted my xen virtual machine guest running Ubuntu. It doesn't start anymore after giving a reboot command
if i try to do the manual way , it works, that is , ifconfig wlan0 up , iwconfig wlan0 essid any , dhclient wlan0 , ping google.com , it works , but not via NetworkManager
good morning...again
Well, I installed irssi so i can get some help from the console.
I tried to change the password for myself, and it went to kerberos, but I get an error about the token.
could someone tell me how to use picturebox with alpha channel in gambas?
Guest25760: irssi is fun
:(
sriramoman: what's up
hey, anyone know a good prog to convert avi, wmv, divx to psp mp4format on ubuntu ?
ACTION is testing a theme...using this channel since so many people talk
kryle: mencoder, ffmpeg, avidumix. and --> winff has presets for that
sid_lug: I'd like to know how to use picturebox with proper transparency in gambas.
Hi. Could I ask: After reboot my sound card works. Then after some time, it stops - no more sound at all. For example "Sound Preferences", all set as default. Sound playback is "autodetect". After reboot, if I click "test" it works. After some time it is not working anymore. I think, it is because of pidgin. Is there any fix or work around? Like restart alsa without reboot?
"Ex-Chat"
I've got *K* in my /etc/shadow, so it looks to kerberos. Can I just delete that, then change the password?
Guest25760: what are you trying to do?
Dr_Willis: are those by commandline or are anyone visual ?
sid_lug: no idea mate about your problem
hey anyone have any idea about my NM issue , guys?
sid_lug: what's your issue.
Myrtti: Well, I thought I had kerberos working fine for authentication. Worked logging in and out, but now, after a reboot, I can't login.
sriramoman: well , to start with i have iwl3945 kernel module loaded in my configuration , but I can't seem to get NetworkManager to work,
So, I need to get where I can have a normal login, and try to fix what's wrong (which I'm not sure of).
sriramoman: if i try to do the manual way , it works, that is , ifconfig wlan0 up , iwconfig wlan0 essid any , dhclient wlan0 , ping google.com , it works , but not via NetworkManager
kryle: yes to both quesstions. :) most of the gui ones use the ffmpeg/mencoder to do the work
sriramoman: the NetworkManager applet icon on the top panel doesn't have anything enabled.
kryle: try winff first
Dr_Willis: Thank you !!
sid_lug: check if your dhcp is set properly
So, should I just delete the *K* then try passwd user at the cli?
sriramoman: dhclient wlan0 , works so i suppose networkmanager should also work
What's the cli command for adding a new user? Is there one?
is it possible to exclude some applications from a vpn connection?
Dr_Willis: cant find any "winff" is it full name ? =)
sid_lug: I don't mean that way. install network-admin and configure it the easy way and see. for me everything works if I set all the interfaces to roaming mode :D
sriramoman: network-admin , is that the package name?
Dr_Willis: nw,, found it =)
Any ideas? otherwise I'll just give what I suggested a try.

sid_lug: yes. sudo apt-get install network-admin
"Ex-Chat"
sid_lug: I notice (1 year back, with gutsy) - that net. mngr icon does not work well... and I do not use it. Plus, as I remember, it modify my 'interfaces' file... Which I do not like. Recently I read about installing firewall and again something about conflicts with network manager.
mmm4m51: so what do you use mate ?
sid_lug did you unlock the network manager?
sid_lug: they said "net. mngr. is beta". I use command line... it is laptop... always different connection - today wifi, tomorrow gprs (bluetooth), ...
MrGoodkat_: what that suppose to mean? i just installed jaunty and haven't played with NM
anyone: how to restart alsa without reboot? When I use pidgin with sound msg notification... from some moment, alsa (sound) stops working.
sid_lug does it look like here: http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/5483/screenshotnetworksettinlr8.png
MrGoodkat_: i suppose it should just work
MrGoodkat_: mate, how do i get that software?
MrGoodkat_: is it gnome-network-admin ?
i think its just called network-admin
but that should be installed from the beginning
MrGoodkat_: okay i got it , should i enable roaming mode? i use dhcp btw
yeah roaming mode for wlan is fine
MrGoodkat_: okay done , still nothing shows up in the nm-applet icon on the panel , no AP displayed
sid_lug: yes. use roaming mode for all interfaces.
sup all...is there an easy way to enable ICS with ubuntu 9.04....i tried with firestarter and manually entering commands from a website that was linked in this channel
how do I set up dual monitor with nvidia drivers?
sriramoman: it seems i can't enable anything in network-admin , it looks disable to me , the lists of interfaces that is
i could ping external networks but couldnt use www so that told me DNS wasnt working BUT i would put googles IP in the address bar and that didnt work either
so i got close but couldnt get a website
sid_lug can you make a screenshot?
there has to be something easier then doing all this mumbo jumbo just to enable ICS
MrGoodkat_: hold on a sec, mate
ok .. found out
are there dual screen wall papers?
that come with ubuntu

hey
hi, i'm trying to use mac4lin icons

The NetworkManager applet could not find some required resources. It connot continue.
MrGoodkat_: mate , http://imagebin.org/51401

Hi Is there any way of downloading ubuntu on to a external hard drive as a image then installing it onto the hard drive without burning to a cd rom

MrGoodkat_: when i click on it nothing happens , it remains as it is , and when i double click on it , it opens a new window asking me to feed in stuff like ESSID etc or choose roaming mode
hey, im looking for a simple gui-based diff-tool (for textfiles) for gnome - any suggestions?
