Good morning everyone

morning

Why can`t there be a way to mark all the questions that someone is working on? Or is there?

You can star them so you can find them. Then they're under favorites

DUH!

I need more coffee

Good day everybody

o/ @Takkat

Good Day..

I've starred far to many favourite questions... ;)

(always forget to unstar them at some point)

Coffee is kicking in

How would the world be without Coffee and Ubuntu?

6:29 AM

I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW :)

@Takkat, I don`t want to think about it either ....

I remember times without Ubuntu but can't remember how it was without coffee

It's one of those things you wouldn't miss if you'ld never had it (in both cases)

I remember times without Ubuntu but, But I`m trying to forget those times..

I do remember times where I had a coffee cup instead of the hourglass!

What would be the best way to give a server on a guest OS (using virtualbox) an address I can access from the host OS without using bridged networking and a hardware router or switch?

or is "go buy a router" the only solution?

@adempewolff: virtualbox.org/manual/ch06.html may help you on this.

8:24 AM

@adempewolff Host-only networking would do it if you only need local access. Hardware router+bridged is better. If you need to access the virtual server from outside that particular machine, then I don't think you can get away with not getting a router or some SRTs on the linux box itself.

@aking1012 thanks, I was actually off reading the manual when you pinged me. I think I might try using two network adapters on the guest, one NAT for external stuff, then one host-only for internal stuff.

That way works, but you have to set up port forwarding

@izx Wubi for 11.10? releases.ubuntu.com/11.10

Any ramifications of doing it?

9:20 AM

@Mitch Ah, just saw yours -- I just included the direct link /11.10/wubi.exe. No, as long as 11.10 is supported no ramifications IMO

OK, thanks

@Mitch I deleted my answer and edited yours to include the info and the disclaimer. You got there first :)

yeah, but you have been an Ubuntonion (if there is such a word) first :)

@Raja: please try not to discourage enthusiastic folks who want to try Ubuntu out for the first time via Wubi

izx

busy ??

@izx sure !

@izx I am not with that thought , i commented like that for let know them General install is better than WUBI .

people whats the matter running about UEFI and Fedora ?

9:38 AM

@Raja In the abstract, yes, Wubi has a performance penalty BUT when a normal install is not feasible for any reason and Wubi is the only option...

Wubi-buntu is better than No-buntu!

Raja

@izx i agree +1

I am ready to throw /etc/hosts out the window

Raja

@izx so you heard about FEDORA and MS deal ? can you tell me in as short as possible ?

@izx think you might be busy . ok have to leave . later

Yes, they will pay MS $99 so Fedora can install without users having to disable the secure boot setting in their BIOS. They thought it better to do that instead of take on the huge headache of managing signing keys themselves and then making sure all mfrs included it

@izx is it possible that chromium is caching DNS lookups and thus not reading /etc/hosts?

ah. the answer is yes. just cleared private data and everything is working lovely now. sorry for the ping!
