| [02:48] <izzaboo> hallo | |
| [02:50] <izzaboo> I just made a LiveUSB stick with Lubuntu 12.04 on it (with persistence). Gonna try to resurrect his old laptop. My question... | |
| [02:51] <izzaboo> ...is about accessing data we might create/save in the casper-rw filesystem while USB stick is mounted but not as boot volume. | |
| [02:51] <izzaboo> any good answers here or know of any on the web? | |
| [04:10] <mi3> /j #archlinux | |
| [04:13] <izzaboo> hi again. i asked a Q earlier than had to run off in a hurry | |
| [04:13] <izzaboo> sorry | |

| [06:24] <ekaj> Is there a way to change your broadcast address? | |
| [06:48] <kanliot> what is a broadcast addr? | |
| [07:06] <bioterror> inet 10.0.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.0.255 | |
| [07:06] <bioterror> it's the one that broadcasts | |
| [07:11] <ekaj> can you change it? | |
| [07:13] <bioterror> why? | |
| [07:13] <bioterror> can you explain what you're after | |
| [07:13] <ekaj> trying to get my internet to work, figured it'd be helpful for the inet and bcast addresses to be the same | |
| [07:14] <bioterror> no | |
| [07:14] <ekaj> I can ping websites and get their IP, but can't connect or receive and packets back | |
| [07:14] <ekaj> can also ping other computers on the network and them me, but no internet | |
| [07:14] <ekaj> Any ideas? | |
| [07:15] <ekaj> The internet works when I don't have 'Manual' settings for the connection, but I need the IP address to stay the same. | |
| [07:15] <bioterror> it has nothing to do with the broadcast | |
| [07:15] <ekaj> Well, changing the address probably wouldn't hurt, but I don't know. | |
| [07:16] <bioterror> ekaj, and you have dns configured properly? | |
| [07:17] <ekaj> I assume so, no idea | |
| [07:17] <bioterror> do you have dns server(s) configured? | |
| [07:17] <ekaj> yes, 10.0.0.10 | |
| [07:17] <ekaj> the XP box works fine with it | |
| [07:18] <bioterror> am I understanding right that you're building a network? | |
| [07:18] <ekaj> yes | |
| [07:19] <bioterror> if you manually configure ip address, you probably should add nameserver to /etc/resolv.conf | |
| [07:20] <bioterror> add line 'nameserver 8.8.4.4' for example | |
| [07:21] <Unit193> 12.04 does the fancy dnsmasq stuff. | |
| [07:21] <Unit193> !resolvconf | |
| [07:21] <ubottu> resolvconf is a set of scripts that's used to manage /etc/resolv.conf in 12.04, for more information please see: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ | |
| [07:21] <ekaj> wtf is the file manager | |
| [07:21] <ekaj> never mind, "File ManageR" | |
| [07:24] <ekaj> err, how do I edit it | |
| [07:29] <ekaj> I'll work on it tomorrow. | |
| [08:17] <kanliot> i'm trying to get 2 montors to work. but the virtual desktop size is still set too low for my monitors to be placed side by side on the virtual desktop. help! | |
| [08:17] <kanliot> or better....please help | |
| [08:54] <morri> hi guys, still having problems with the display in lubuntu 12.04- only that it doesnt seem to be able to access the display- it shows the splash screen alright and in the right resolution but I can only access a session with a working screen over openbox, but not over a lubuntu session. the screen goes blank and switches off if I do so | |
| [09:30] <mi3> hi kanliot ! | |
| [09:30] <mi3> welcome back, sir ! | |
| [09:39] <kanliot> sup man | |
| [09:40] <kanliot> sup mi3 | |
| [09:40] <morri> guys, still having problems with the display in lubuntu 12.04- only that it doesnt seem to be able to access the display- it shows the splash screen alright and in the right resolution but I can only access a session with a working screen over openbox, but not over a lubuntu session. the screen goes blank and switches off if I do so | |
| [09:40] <mi3> hey kanliot ! | |
| [09:41] <kanliot> mi3 are you in offtopic? | |
| [09:41] <mi3> kanliot, I will meet you there. | |
| [09:42] <kanliot> did you use arandr to change your resolution? | |
| [09:42] <kanliot> or something like that? | |
| [09:42] <kanliot> morri | |
| [09:42] <kanliot> it sounds like you need to change back to a low-resolution that your monitor can display | |
| [09:43] <morri> i never changed it in the first place | |
| [09:43] <kanliot> was it working before? | |
| [09:43] <morri> just a couple of days ago the monitor switched to an atrocious 1024+768 and 60 hz refreshing rate | |
| [09:43] <morri> which was making me sick looking at it literally | |
| [09:43] <morri> yeah was working fine for a year | |
| [09:44] <morri> in openbox and in the splash screen it shows the default resolution(1152 *8xx | |
| [09:45] <morri> Ni idea what the difference is really in the past days | |
| [09:45] <morri> I can give you the dmesg if it helps you | |
| [09:45] <kanliot> can you get to console with control+alt+f1 | |
| [09:45] <kanliot> ? | |
| [09:48] <morri> yea I get into the console- thats how i reboot my pc | |
| [09:49] <kanliot> do you log-in automatically? | |
| [09:49] <kanliot> and does it mess up at the login screen | |
| [09:49] <kanliot> btw i donno what i'm doing i'm just guessing | |
| [09:50] <kanliot> but i'm thinking you can set resolution in the console, i'm not sure | |
| [09:51] <morri> no i don't login automatically | |
| [09:51] <morri> i tried setting it via console but it said it can't access display | |
| [09:52] <morri> and the spalsh and login are absolutely fine | |
| [09:52] <kanliot> theres a bash command to fix that | |
| [09:52] <kanliot> DISPLAY=0:0 or something like that | |
| [09:52] <morri> http://pastebin.com/NKbCzMxu | |
| [09:53] <morri> this is the dmesg for the graphics driver | |
| [09:53] <kanliot> doesn't help | |
| [09:53] <morri> ok | |
| [09:54] <kanliot> i suppose you could find out why lubuntu is changing the screen when you log in | |
| [09:54] <kanliot> but i don't know | |
| [09:54] <kanliot> try that display thing | |
| [09:54] <kanliot> otherwise i donno | |
| [09:54] <morri> as said it used to work fine and all of a sardine it started first going into the wrong resolution and atrocious refresh rate and after than none at all | |
| [09:54] <morri> ok no probs | |
| [10:06] <OptikKore> having a problem installing lubuntu on my aspire one netbook | |
| [10:07] <OptikKore> it just freezes during the boot process every time, even if i do nomodeset | |
| [10:07] <kanliot> whats the prob | |
| [10:07] <OptikKore> and i mean the boot process of the setup | |
| [10:08] <kanliot> please explain | |
| [10:10] <OptikKore> i cant explain because you see lubuntu on the screen and then in cycles through the dots and then eventually freezes | |
| [10:10] <kanliot> did you check the disk? | |
| [10:10] <OptikKore> yup, everything was fine | |
| [10:11] <kanliot> i'm not sure but if you get dots, you don't need nomodeset right? | |
| [10:11] <kanliot> anyhow i'm no help | |
| [10:11] <kanliot> you could try the #ubuntu channel | |
| [10:11] <kanliot> or wait here for someone else | |
| [10:11] <kanliot> or the beginners section of ubuntuforums.com | |
| [10:12] <kanliot> up 2 u | |
| [10:12] <OptikKore> alright, thank you for ur time | |
| [10:12] <kanliot> you're welcome | |
