<0> dooglus: http://wayback.sourceforge.net/ http://www.ext3cow.com/
<1> ucenik: modem, lan, dsl or similar...?
<2> dsl
<2> adsl
<3> LjL: OK, I'll look into it as soon as I get my dapper working again.
<0> dooglus: (ext3cow is only for 2.4 kernels, and i wouldn't trust it anyway, but wayback is user-level, so it doesn't touch the actual filesystem structures)
<1> ucenik: pppoe?
<2> yes
<3> LjL: how would you suggest I do it, by the way? I don't want to reinstall from a Flight4 CD, 'cos that will wipe /home (right?)
<1> ucenik: sudo aptitude install pppoe-config
<4> i cant get my legitec quickcam messenger to work on ubuntu..... i found this http://home.mag.cx/messenger/
<4> still no luck
<5> what repository mirrors are there for when the main apt-get mirror is down?
<2> stuckman: again, I don't understand
<0> dooglus: no, i don't think it will wipe home, if you don't tell it to format
<1> ucenik: ok, do you use synaptics?
<5> yay
<5> its up again
<2> ?'
<0> dooglus: i don't think it will wipe *anything* actually (except for overwriting things with new files) unless you tell it to -- which is bad, so you should remove everything except /home before re-installing
<2> ????
<6> ucenick your new to linux right?
<2> how could you tell....~
<1> ucenik: how do you install software in your ubuntu?
<0> dooglus: i've never tried actually leaving /home alone when re-installing. but i *have* tried moving /home/myuser to /tempuser, and that worked well
<6> ucenik: nothing to be ashamed about so are alot of ppl here
<2> I don't. I only installed jt
<2> from one cd
<2> didn
<7> ok, had to be sure the wireless was working right
<1> ucenik: ok, is your desktop `up and running'?
<4> can anyone tell me how to install my logitec quickcam messenger webcam on ubuntu?
<0> dooglus: though perhaps you shouldn't really call it "tempuser", or anything resembling "tmp" ;P
<0> babyboy: don't have that specific webcam, but my one gets recognized as a logitech quickcam express (even though it isn't, i suppose it's a rebrand) and works out of the box
<4> so do you think mine will also work as that?
<0> babyboy: it's won't do any harm to try, for sure
<4> do you know how i go about installing the driver for hat then please LjL
<0> babyboy: you could use the "camstream" or "camorama" (or whatever, "apt-cache search webcam") to test it
<4> got camorama
<0> babyboy: well no, i don't, since as i said mine worked without doing anything special...
<4> damn, i guess im just unlucky, lol
<8> anyone know where to get the floppy boot iso for ubuntu?
<0> Silivrenion: i'm not sure there is one... (and it wouldn't be an "iso" anyway ;)
<4> could not connect to video device dev/video0 :S lol :(
<9> can someone tell me where the files are in witch the network configuration is saved?? pls
<0> Silivrenion: you could look at this http://btmgr.webframe.org/
<9> s/witch/which
<10> ok - if I copy a bunch of *.deb packages from one computer to another - how can I get them to be recognized by apt?
<0> Silivrenion: this should allow booting your bootable cd from a boot floppy --- that is if your computer can't boot from cds
<0> well_: well, /etc/network is one place
<10> I can't download them all again - this is a dial-up connection
<0> syllogism: you don't, not easily anyway
<0> syllogism: well...
<10> LjL, there has got to be a way to do this. .
<10> that would be simply stupid if I can't add these files somehow
<0> syllogism: i can only think of setting up a local mirror
<0> syllogism: well you can certainly install them one by one
<0> syllogism: perhaps i would just write a script to do that, i guess it would be easier than setting up a mirror
<9> thx LjL
<10> LjL, would dpkg manage the dependencies?
<0> syllogism: try writing a script like this, "for Package in /directory/containing/packages/*; do dpkg -i "$Package"; done"
<0> syllogism: no, it wouldn't. indeed, i was just going to tell you that this script should be run *many times*, until all the dependencies have been solved ;)
<0> syllogism: not the cleanest method i could come up with, i guess, but i think it will work
<2> stuckman: sorry, I had to do something. i installed ubuntu if that's what yuo meaN , but at the moment I am at friends.
<10> LjL, sounds horrible. . . how hard would it be to set up a local mirror?
<10> LjL, I'll google it - nevermind
<10> thanks for the help
<0> syllogism: yeah, you should google it, i don't really know. have a look at the "apt-move" package though
<10> roger that
<0> syllogism: "apt-proxy" too, though that's intended as - you guess - a proxy. but perhaps you could fool it into accepting the packages you already have =)
<1> ucenik: ok, so, boot on your desktop, select System -> Admin -> something synaptics. that's the package manager. search for pppoe-config and install it. then open a terminal, and run sudo pppoe-config. I guess that's all
<11> where's MadPilot
<11> i did wat u said, now i
<0> syllogism: but really, i guess apt-move will do most of the work - that is create the directory hierarchy for a mirror. at that point, you can just install an HTTP or FTP server and use it in your sources.list
<10> LjL, I can probably just set up a local mirror from my laptop. . I've got an ftp server setup already. . shouldn't be too bad
<11> i have no windows os & the ubuntu still wont load
<12> if i install server type of ubuntu how to i enable bootsplash ??
<11> so i'm in the procy of dLing another xp pro w/ sp2
<10> RichART1, probably not the wisest thing. . telling us that
<11> why?
<11> oh yeah.....lol
<11> i c ur pt.
<11> oh well, there's no shame in my game
<13> did you watch 60 minites about FBI working on IRC?
<2> stuckman: so that's it? and where from does it install that package?
<1> RichART1: no solu either. you already sold it to the wrong guy :-P
<1> ucenik: with a little of luck, from the cd
<1> soul*
<11> the devil?
<11> lmao
<1> RichART1: you said it, not me :)
<2> okay
<2> and can somebody, perhpas you stuckman, tell me how actually secure is surfing on ubuntu
<14> hi
<11> right u R
<15> can someone tell me where to find fglrxconfig ?
<16> Is anyone else having repository issues today?
<13> depends most on users IQ
<16> security.ubuntu.org seems to be flipping a little.
<17> hcatlin: yes, they are wonky atm
<16> .com i mean
<13> security repos aint working for me
<0> Rambo3: perhaps they've been hacked
<16> Any Ruby package maintainers in here?
<3> LjL: to be on the safe side, I'm installing a fresh dapper into a subdirectory of /mnt/dapper - so the old one will still be around, what's left of it.
<18> I'm pretty new to ubunbtu and have a few questions, is there somebody prepared to help me out
<18> ?
<2> and can somebody, perhpas you stuckman, tell me how actually secure is surfing on ubuntu
<19> ucenik, define secure
<13> i would go for bad routing from my isp. but it could be that too
<1> ucenik: well... most virus won't affect you. per default it has no firewall, but not much servers running either. and you can fall into phishing with any browser. so I guess that, except for most virus and troyans, you're as secure as in any other platform. *but*, most security problems come from virus and trojans.
<0> dooglus: a subdirectory of a mount? you really don't learn, do you...? :-)
<3> LjL: um...
<1> ucenik: so I guess the short answer is: safer than *that* other platform, as safe as any *nix like
<2> well, do I need some sort of other protection against internet attacks? do I need firewall? is there some sort of antivirus for it?
<3> it seems the safest option, if I don't want to go down the rediculous road of actually making backups...
<19> many security problems come not from your computing environment, but from yourself and the guy on the other end
<13> ucenik you can get all that info from wiki and forums
<3> ucenik: there's not a lot in the way of protection for linux. everyone seems to think it's secure :)
<1> Bisschop: you just make your questions
<0> ucenik: not unless you install servers, not practically...
<20> i accidentally screwed up my system and now it wont detect my serial ata drive...cfdisk /dev/sda says "cannot find drive" or something...so i booted up with a suse live cd i found, and tried cfdisk /dev/sda and it gives the same error...where else can my serial ata drive be??
<0> ucenik: but you can install firestarter, they say it's a good firewall
<18> I installed a few packages but when i ran nmap I saw I had e few ports open from the packages I installed, how could i close them?
<19> ucenik, no antivirus needed, but there's one available if you're fowarding email or docs to Windows users
<0> ucenik: as for an antivirus, no, you really don't need one for all practical purposes. i do suggest running rkhunter and chkrootkit once in a while, though
<15> Bisschop: learn iptables
<0> ucenik: but the most important suggestion i can give you is probably to use strong p***words ;)
<1> ucenik: as I said, most virus won't affect you. and when I say most, I'm talking abount 99.999 and some more 9's % of them
<15> ucenik: or not p***word + rsa keys
<15> er, no p***word
<1> ucenik: about firewalls... well, having one won't hurt you.
<21> Hi, ubuntu noob here, I'm trying Ubuntu for the first time (the Dapper Drake) And somehow I made a mistake and ended up with edubuntu rather than ubuntu, are there any mayor differences, I'm thinking like what packages are awailable, what I am allowed to do etc... or is it the same system with some extra packages and other icons/wallpaper etc..
<22> What do you think aobut ati cards and Linux ? Can I buy Radeon without any problems in future ?
<2> what do you suggest? that firestarter or what?
<15> p***word protect your rsa key, and don't use p***words other than to access your rsa keys :)
<23> .
<0> KRA: aha, yeah, there are differences :) but just in the way of what packages are installed. you can changed that
<15> but that's not really feasible unless you take the time to learn how to use TLS
<0> KRA: just install the "ubuntu-desktop" package and you'll have the full ubuntu, *plus* what's included in edubuntu and not in ubuntu
<13> zielony, having both ati and nvidia since red hat 7.1 , i would consider buying nvidia
<0> KRA: if you want to remove the edubuntu-specific parts, well, i guess you need a package listing from someone with a fresh ubuntu install...
<21> thanks LjL
<2> and how old is version 5.04?
<15> can someone tell me where to find fglrxconfig ?
<24> KRA, if you choose the default install of edubuntu, it has installed some server bits for a cl***room server that are not in ubuntu
<3> KRA: "debfoster" is a good way of removing the things which are only installed because of edubuntu
<0> ucenik: 10 months old or so. i would use 5.10 (breezy) right now
<3> KRA: install ubuntu-desktop first, then use debfoster to set rid of edubuntu and any packages which are only installed because of it
<13> if i install server type of ubuntu how do i enable bootsplash after install??
