| Rimtech | Thank you all for your very generous comments and solutions to my very unique question... you have made my day so much easier and yada yada |
| Foon | I have a question, I use no-ip.com to get a host name, but the IP that points to that is my router, how would I go about, say, giving specific computers behind the router, hostnames that resolve to comp1.myhost.no-ip.com? |
| Madpilot | Johnston, same place you downloaded the regular ISO |
| Johnston | it freezes with no message |

| marko86 | hi |
| cables | vbabiy, go to apps/nautilus/desktop and uncheck volumes_visible |
| noelferreira | make an icon running two diferent aplications in two diferente consoles without the need of writing the password of su arrenlex |
| kruncher | I need some help getting my refresh rate up higher on my monitor |
| idefixx | Foon: you cant do that |
| |Jason8| | Hey all. I just downloaded xchat 2.6.8 for ubuntu, and it says it needs the package libdbus-1-2. Feisty has 1-3 installed. Is there a way I can use it? |
| arrenlex | noelferreira: These are applications that require root access? |
| vbabiy | thanks cables; |
| craigbass1976 | Madpilot, what does that cd do that you can't do with something like knoppix or dsl? DOes it have some sort of built in troubleshooter? |
| Foon | idefixx: ? how come? |
| wastrel | vbabiy: in gconf-editor apps > nautilus > desktop uncheck "volumes_visible" |
| kruncher | I can get it to (and past) 1280x1024 at 75 (or 85hz) but ubuntu will only let me go to 56hz |
| wastrel | bah |
| noelferreira | yes arrenlex. one of them |
| vbabiy | thanks guys |
| Rimtech | Jason8: why don't you just type "sudo apt-get install xchat"? |
| Madpilot | craigbass1976, it's got the older-style installer, which is more complex than the desktop installer |
| arrenlex | noelferreira: Add that particular command to the sudoers list without a password, and then use sudo to invoke it without having to type a password. |
| |Jason8| | Rimtech: because that gets xchat-gnome, and that is the most horrible thing ever. |
| Foon | idefixx: how come I can't do that? |
| idefixx | Foon: its just not possible tcp/ip knows nothing about hostnames and you cant assign different inet ips to computers behind the router. |
| Johnston | all the site is showing is desktop and regualr no alternat install |
| danlock2 | so ubuntu server 6.10 would be a good *nix to use for a FTP, email, web server, remote programming enviroment, and DNS? |
| axl000 | how can i change the contextual menu (that when i right click on desktop) sorry for my bad enlgish |
| Johnston | nm |
| wastrel | Foon: because of the way DNS works and NAT |
| craigbass1976 | |Jason8|, could you get the correct libdbus.deb package and install that? |
| z9999 | I'm in deep now, the system will no longer boot. Can someone please help? |
| Johnston | found it |
| wastrel | Foon: does noip.com allow you to set up subdomains like that? |
| Foon | er, ah, so they'd all have to be in the DMZ and pointed to by individual DNS entries in the nameserver? |
| Rimtech | Jason8: actually if you go to the add/remove programs app in feisty there are two different entries... one is for xchat on it's own and another is for xchat-gnome |
| danlock2 | so ubuntu server 6.10 would be a good *nix to use for a FTP, email, web server, remote programming enviroment, and DNS? |
| Alonea | anyone ever installed ie6 on wine? I can't seem to get it to install. |
| Foon | wastrel: not that I know of, not with a free account at any rate |
| z0x1c | danlock2, I'd go FreeBSD for OS, ProFTPD for ftp, qmail for e-mail. and of course Apache/BIND for HTTP/DNS. |
