| [00:48] <vastkahuna> I am fairly new to Linux and was wondering does Ubuntu have a firewall built in or do I need to install one myself? | |
| [00:48] <holstein> !firewall | vastkahuna | |
| [00:48] <ubot93> vastkahuna: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | |
| [00:49] <vastkahuna> OK so is it automatically turned on or do I need to do it myself? | |
| [00:51] <holstein> vastkahuna: i suggest reading the info, and determining for yourself if your current sitution is setup as you want | |
| [00:51] <holstein> i usually run "sudo ufw enable" if i want it on | |
| [00:51] <vastkahuna> OK thanks | |
| [00:51] <holstein> sudo ufw status should tell you the state | |
| [00:52] <vastkahuna> Thanks a lot | |

| [05:01] <veebull> hey there | |
| [05:02] <veebull> recently reinstalled (x)ubuntu on my laptop this afternoon, and this evening I was re-joining various rooms in Xchat | |
| [05:02] <veebull> but I get a message that I'm 'banned' from #ubuntu | |
| [05:02] <veebull> any ideas on how to find out why/what for? | |
| [05:03] <veebull> I asked over in #ubuntu-irc-council but it was a ghost town | |
| [05:27] <duanedesign> hello veebull | |
| [05:27] <veebull> howdy | |
| [05:30] <duanedesign> @bansearch veebull #ubuntu | |
| [05:30] <duanedesign> hmm. Ill ask in the channel for you what you should do | |
| [05:32] <veebull> That'd be nice... btw, where would I normally run the above command irc command? Tried running it from the freenode server window, and it complained about needing to join a room | |
| [05:32] <veebull> or is it a moderator/admin-only sort of thing | |
| [05:36] <duanedesign> veebull: ok | |
| [05:37] <duanedesign> veebull: join #ubuntu-ops they can help you their. | |
| [05:37] <veebull> thanks, will do | |
| [05:37] <duanedesign> veebull: night be an issue of an accidental flood from your client | |
| [05:37] <duanedesign> veebull: good luck sir | |
| [05:59] <veebull> duanedesign: well, they think someone with a 'similar' hostname was being a problem child and an op banned a block, which apparently included me. | |
| [05:59] <veebull> have to wait til the op who did it is back on shift though | |
| [06:06] <duanedesign> veebull: im sure they will get it sorted | |
| [06:07] <veebull> hopefully | |

| [22:53] <zryan> hi all | |
| [22:55] <holstein> o/ | |
| [22:58] <zryan> how to fix crash my system , ubuntu 10.04 LTS | |
| [22:59] <holstein> zryan: desktop? | |
| [22:59] <zryan> no laptop | |
| [22:59] <holstein> zryan: install either 12.04 or 13.04.. 10.04 for the desktop is EOL | |
| [22:59] <zryan> my laptop is older device | |
| [23:01] <Unit193> You can try a lighter flavor, if you'd like. | |
| [23:02] <holstein> zryan: lubuntu 13.04 would be a nice solution | |
| [23:03] <holstein> zryan: 10.04 is EOL... its not supported for the desktop (or laptop) anymore | |
| [23:03] <zryan> 1GB of RAM and CPU is celeron | |
| [23:04] <zryan> install ubuntu 13.04 to be slow | |
| [23:04] <holstein> zryan: 10.04 is not supported anymore.. try lubuntu 13.04 | |
| [23:04] <holstein> !lubuntu | |
| [23:04] <ubot93> lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | |
| [23:05] <zryan> HP Compacq CQ40-312-tu | |
| [23:05] <Unit193> I have a Lubuntu computer with 1G of ram, it's a P4. | |
| [23:07] <zryan> thanks for holstein Unit193 and upot93 | |
