[00:04] <ubotu> Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion
[00:05] <Dr_willis> dorkface,  enable verbose logging for the sshd server. and see what its saying.
[00:05] <dorkface> how do i do that?
[00:05] <dorkface> ssh -v?
[00:05] <Dr_willis> dorkface,  of course you should see if the 2 machines can ping each other first.
[00:05] <Dr_willis> the sshd config file has some options also
[00:05] <dorkface> Dr_willis: first thing i did ;)
[00:06] <Dr_willis> dorkface,  you did check the sshd logs in /var/log ?
[00:06] <dorkface> sec
[00:07] <dorkface> hmm...I don't see anything with ssh in the directory
[00:07] <Dr_willis> to enable the more verbose logging in the /etc/ssh/sshd_config you would change the LogLevel INFO  Line to somthing else.. Not sure what tho.
[00:07] <dorkface> I know i have ssh installed because I can "man ssh"
[00:08] <Dr_willis> man sshd_config       - gives the info for the loglevel setting
[00:08] <Dr_willis> dorkface,  how about this.. try 'ssh localhost' see if that works :)
[00:09] <dorkface> nope! huh?
[00:09] <ehamberg> I need to do some KDE 3 coding, but when I try to install kde-devel aptitude wants to downgrade my kde packages from -2ubuntu3~gutsy1~ppa1 to -0ubuntu2. Is this ok? What is ppa1? (See http://rafb.net/p/q86yl393.html for aptitude output)
[00:09] <dorkface> still says connection refused
[00:09] <dorkface> same on my laptop
[00:10] <Dr_willis> If you cant log in to localhost.. then its somthing odd with the sshd service
[00:10] <mace__> hello, where can i get cute fonts for my firefox :)?
[00:10] <Dr_willis> dorkface,  ugh.. you DID install the ssh server? not just the client?
[00:10] <Dr_willis> !find ssh
[00:10] <ubotu> Found: openssh-client, openssh-server, ssh, ssh-askpass-gnome, aolserver4-nssha1 (and 28 others)
[00:10] <dorkface> I didn't install naything
[00:10] <dorkface> it came default
[00:10] <Dr_willis> dorkface,  thats your problem then
[00:10] <Dr_willis> openssh-server  - is not installed by default
[00:10] <dorkface> ....well, phooey
[00:11] <Dr_willis> :)
[00:11] <Dr_willis> I still wonder where sshd keeps its logs
[00:11] <ardchoille> Dr_willis: I would think in /var/log somewhere
[00:11] <dorkface> is it a simple apt-get install, or is there a lot of configuration involved?
[00:12] <ardchoille> !info openssh-server | dorkface
[00:12] <ubotu> dorkface: openssh-server: secure shell server, an rshd replacement. In component main, is optional. Version 1:4.6p1-5build1 (gutsy), package size 241 kB, installed size 640 kB
[00:12] <Dr_willis> ardchoille,  i see no log files there for sshd at all.
[00:13] <ardchoille> Dr_willis: :(
[00:13] <Dr_willis> ardchoille,  i am RTFM'ing right now.. :)
[00:16] <dorkface> *GLEE* Eureka! :D
[00:16] <ardchoille> dorkface: This may be of help: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto
[00:17] <dorkface> sweet, thanks
[00:32] <iKiller> Hey, I have a big problem here
[00:32] <bmack> when kubuntu starts up i get this error message
[00:32] <bmack> information - kdesudo - no command arguments supplied: usage [-u <runast>] command - kdesudo will now exit
[00:32] <iKiller> I installed Kubuntu on my computer, and now it won't dual-boot
[00:33] <iKiller> I'm stuck on Kubuntu and can't get to Windows
[00:33] <Dr_willis> ardchoille,  aha - the logging is in auth.log
[00:33] <ardchoille> Dr_willis: Really?
[00:33] <ardchoille> Seems a bit off for sshd
[00:33] <ardchoille> s/off/odd/
[00:34] <Dr_willis> ardchoille,  yea thers a setting in the sshd_config -> SyslogFacility AUTH
[00:34] <Dr_willis> The docs mention other optuosn for that.. but not what they do. :)
[00:34] <ardchoille> Ah
[00:34] <Dr_willis> The possible values are: DAEMON, USER, AUTH, LOCAL0, (and others)
[00:35] <itsjustme> access denied when coping files to another dir... What is the commmand when using konquerer?
[00:35] <Dr_willis> The option SyslogFacility specifies the facility code used when logging messages from sshd
[00:36] <Dr_willis> Ok... they like using fancy terms.. its the  facility code... :)
[00:37] <itsjustme> from desktop to alsa folder?
[00:38] <Dr_willis> itsjustme,  if its in a ssytem type location. Its best to use the shell and 'sudo cp whatever /whever'
[00:38] <ardchoille> itsjustme: Why would you need to put a file into the alsa folder? Can you specify what you are doing? There may be an easier way.
[00:38] <itsjustme> I tried that and it dowsnt work
[00:38] <itsjustme> we did this 2 weeks ago
[00:39] <itsjustme> the alsa files I download go to the desktop
[00:39] <itsjustme> I need them in the /usr/src/alsa folder\
[00:39] <itsjustme> access denied when tring to move them over
[00:40] <Dr_willis> cp whatever /usr/src/alsa
[00:40] <Dr_willis> are you trying to compile the latest alsa?
[00:40] <itsjustme> y
[00:40] <Dr_willis> following that guide?
[00:40] <itsjustme> I have the website up
[00:40] <itsjustme> y
[00:41] <itsjustme> tring again
[00:41] <Dr_willis> cd  /usr/src/alsa
[00:41] <itsjustme> i am there
[00:41] <Dr_willis> sudo cp /path/to/the/files  /usr/src/alsa

[00:43] <Dr_willis> itsjustme,  a little script i wrote for a friend is here ---> http://pastebin.ca/839431
[00:43] <Dr_willis> itsjustme,  you could just install 'mc' and use 'sudo mc' then copy the stuff over
[00:43] <itsjustme> the files are in /home/harry/Desktop.....Ill check it out
[00:43] <Dr_willis> you  could also just cd to /usr/src/alsa then uncompress them from there

[00:49] <JCK> i created a torrent using ktorrent and i wanted to upload the files but it is giving me permission denied when it points to the files in the temporary directory
[00:49] <Dr_willis> dorkface,  all i did was take the commands from that guide. and put them all in a file..
[00:50] <Dr_willis> with a few wgets.. :)
[00:50] <Dr_willis> then i started building it up
[00:50] <dorkface> :)
[00:50] <Dr_willis> if it works
[00:50] <Dr_willis> i wrote it for a friend at work. Not had the time to test it on his box yet
[00:51] <dorkface> I can't know since I already have it fixed on this machine, hehe
[00:51] <JCK> i created a torrent using ktorrent and i wanted to upload the files but it is giving me permission denied when it points to the files in the temporary directory
[00:52] <dorkface> JCK: not sure, I don't play with ktorrent :-/
[00:52] <JCK> what client do you use?
[00:53] <dorkface> none really
[00:53] <dorkface> hehe
[00:54] <Dr_willis> i use ktorrent all the time.. but never made my own
[00:55] <Dr_willis> i only use it to download.. legal torrents .. of Linux Disrtos! thats it... Yea.....
[00:55] <jameswf-home> lol me too
[00:56] <Dr_willis> and rember Kids.. the RIAA says you do not have the legal right to RIP cd's to your IPOD...
[00:56] <jameswf-home> but movies are ok
[00:56] <Dr_willis> and i guess that means you dont ahve the right to burn Mp3's to cd either...
[00:56] <Isola> Good evening to ya all! I just installed the desktop version of Ubuntu 7.10 truth the Live Cd > Instal option. I just rebooted my system(as the installation told me to) and now instead of looking at the beautyful KDE interface im in Busybox commandline shell. How do i get the wheels moving? xD
[00:57] <jameswf-home> !topic
[00:57] <ubotu> Please read the channel topic whenever you enter, as it contains important information. To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic
[00:57] <persen>  HELP! All my keys requires 1 second push to register with my kubuntu feistsy! any tips?
[00:57] <Dr_willis> Isola,  you sure its busybox and not the Console? did it ask to login?
[00:57] <Isola> Dr_willis, yes im sure
[00:57] <persen> 1 sec or more
[00:57] <jameswf-home> turn up th e repeat rate in keyboard settings
[00:58] <Dr_willis> Isola,  i belive it can do that when the initrd messes up.. but i got No idea how to fix it.
[00:58] <Isola> After the meny where i can choice what OS to start, the Ubunto splash screen shows, but the bar does not move, then after like 2-3 min BAM im in Busybox
[00:58] <Isola> menu*
[00:58] <persen> NO. its not repeat rate i think.
[00:59] <Dr_willis> Isola,  you may want to append the 'nofb nosplash' option in grub to the kernel line, to perhaps get some more error messages showing up.
[00:59] <persen> jameswf-home, where d o i do that?
[00:59]  * jameswf-home wonders why people who know the answer ask questions
[00:59] <Dr_willis> Isola,  But even then. Im not sure what could be the problem.
[00:59] <persen> in case.
[01:00] <Dr_willis> persen,  you mean when you hit E, and hold it down.. it takes too long to start repeating?
[01:00] <persen> no all keys takes 1 second plus
[01:00] <Dr_willis> Thats not the repeate rate then.
[01:00] <Dr_willis> Thats.. somthing weird..
[01:00] <Dr_willis> :)
[01:01] <Isola> Dr_willis> I was kinda cheap when I made the partions for Ubuntu. Do you think that, in some wicked way could be ze problem?
[01:01] <Dr_willis> so you have to type real real slow eh?
[01:01] <jameswf-home> if you crank down the repeat ratge it will take x amount of time for the initial showing
[01:01] <Dr_willis> Isola,  possible. - wat do you mean by cheap?
[01:01] <Isola> like 4 gb, 2,5 for Root
[01:01] <persen> frustrating. when i log in to kde its fine. aftr i log in its slow as hell.
[01:02] <Isola> IMO it sound little for a great OS :)
[01:02] <persen> yes real slow.
[01:02] <Dr_willis> Isola,  i dont think that is the issue.. unless you got the disk layout really weird.
[01:02] <Dr_willis> Isola,  id try disabling the framebuffer, and fancy splash. to see if you see some initrd messages
[01:03] <jameswf-home> ctrl+alt f2 works as well
[01:03] <persen> fuck linux. install win tomorrow. to many probs out of the blue.
[01:03] <Isola> Yeah, I think im just going to try reinstall it with the partion wizard instead of playing wizard myself, cause i was really confused there for a bit :)
[01:03] <jameswf-home> !language > persen
[01:04] <persen> useless afaic. sorry.
[01:04] <dorkface> where can I change a groups from root
[01:04] <dorkface> groups password*
[01:05] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. ive rarely had to mess with groups. :) there was some kde admin tool that can do that.. or the command line tools..
[01:05] <dorkface> some how, (maybe it got corrupt :o  ) the password has changed for my login
[01:05] <pyrotix> Trying to get port 80 open but its filtered/stealthed. I've set my router to redirect to my internal IP, and I installed firestarter and told it to accept inbound connections on ports 80 and 81 from everyone, but according to shieldsup I'm still stealthed. Grauggh. Anyone have an idea?
[01:06] <jameswf-home> pyrotix: is your ISP blocking
[01:07] <pyrotix> jamesswf-home dunno, but am using both 80 and 81 in case 80 is blocked for being a http server port. Don't know any reason why the ISP would block 81
[01:07] <jameswf-home> pyrotix: use a non standard port like 8999
[01:07] <poison--> !gproftpd
[01:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gproftpd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:07] <Dr_willis> dorkface,  you could boot a live cd. check the filesystem, then chroot into the installed system and change the passwprd
[01:08] <jameswf-home> dorkface: you can boot in to single user mode and do the same
[01:08] <dorkface> how do I do it from chroot
[01:08] <mwalker> Anyone else getting quite a number of random crashes in libthread_db lately?
[01:08] <dorkface> wait, sec
[01:11] <Dr_willis> chroot over. and use passwd username   command
[01:13] <pyrotix> jamesswf-home 39999 failed. Only bothered to add rule in firestarter as router is set to DMZ
[01:13] <jameswf-home> umm apache has to bind to the port
[01:15] <pyrotix> jamesswf-home I'm not checking to see apache work, I was just seeing that the port was unstealthed or not. Do I need to bind something to the port for shieldsup to not detect it as stealthed?
[01:16] <jameswf-home> well if nothing is listening on it wont do much
[01:17] <kbreit> If I install Kubuntu packages on top of a regular Ubuntu install, will I have the option of starting gnome or kde?
[01:17] <jameswf-home> try nc -l -p port
[01:17] <jameswf-home> sudo !!
[01:19] <BluesKaj> kbreit, install kubuntu-desktop  and you'll have the option of using either gnome or kde packages
[01:19] <dorkface> phew, found the problem
[01:19] <kbreit> BluesKaj: Oh great, thanks.
[01:19] <ardchoille> kbreit: If you install more than one desktop, yes, you can choose which de to use at the log in screen
[01:20] <dorkface> I tried messing with a list about PAM or something, that I shouldn't have.  After undoing the changes, presto, up and working
[01:21] <Scotty> Got a problem. I have to use sudo to do anything with my GPG key. I assume this is because I don't have access to ~/.gnupg, but I don't know how to fix that. Anyone know a fix or a command I can use so that my applications can access my GPG information (particularily, KMail)?
[01:22] <dorkface> schweet, now rsync works!
[01:23] <ardchoille> Scotty: Are you logged in as your normal user?
[01:23] <Scotty> ardchoille: Yep.
[01:24] <ardchoille> Scotty: sudo chown -R $(whoami) ~/.gnupg
[01:24] <Scotty> whoami being my username, or actually whoami?
[01:25] <ardchoille> Scotty: run that command as is
[01:25] <Scotty> ardchoille: gotcha, I'll give it a try, thanks.
[01:26] <ardchoille> Scotty: To find out if there are any other files in your $HOME which are owned by root: find ~/ -user root
[01:26] <Scotty> There are a few.
[01:26] <pyrotix> jamesswf-home checked the 81 and 39999 with apache listening on each
[01:27] <pyrotix> still were invisible
[01:29] <angasule> hey, any idea if the DST fix for argentina is available?
[01:30] <itsjustme> Dr_willis   u still here?
[01:31] <itsjustme> " it seems that Kmix is not running " message is coming up after reboot... Any helpwith that?
[01:31] <ardchoille> !nickspam > _mike_
[01:31] <itsjustme> There is no mixer!
[01:34] <Scotty> ardchoille: Thanks a million. Worked like a charm.
[01:34] <ardchoille> Scotty: yw :)
[01:43] <wraithmagi> anyone try the new ATI drivers for radeon xpress 200m (laptop?)  They work with compiz-fusion natively yet?
[01:47] <Dr_willis> im afraid that compiz may blow up my laptop. :) heh heh
[01:48] <Dr_willis> and its little bitty x200m video card.
[01:51] <itsjustme> Dr_willis   Did you get my earlier mess??
[01:52] <Dr_willis> itsjustme,  been eating pizza. :)
[01:52] <itsjustme> and didnt offer me any,,,,    Still no sound.. Have speaker with mute on it..  No mixer
[01:53] <itsjustme> Mixer settings... Advanced linux
[01:54] <wraithmagi> so I guess no one has tried the new drivers?
[01:54] <wraithmagi> bummer.
[01:55] <BluesKaj> itsjustme, have you done this: k-menu/system settings/sound system/enable sound system,then choose hardware tab/select the audio device/Advanced Linux Sound Architecture, click apply
[01:55] <itsjustme> ill try it
[01:58] <itsjustme> All there by default
[01:58] <itsjustme> still no sound
[01:59] <BluesKaj> alsamixer doesn't showup in the terminal ?
[01:59] <itsjustme> Any other suggestions...........No alsa mixer
[02:00] <BluesKaj> your soundcard isn't being recognized
[02:00] <BluesKaj> itsjustme, asoundconf set-default-card "name of soundcard"
[02:02] <itsjustme> BluesKaj we have been through this before... The sound card is there it is an Intel corp High def Audio
[02:04] <itsjustme> I did asoundcard reset-default-card   and enter
[02:04] <mboso> I just installed amarok 1.4.8 on a ubuntu gutsy box and to get mp3 support working I installed kubuntu-restricted-extras and manuall installed libxine1-ffmpeg_1.1.8-2ubuntu2~gutsy1_i386.deb but MP3s are still not play. What did I miss? (asked in #amarok but no one is home)
[02:05] <itsjustme> Well folks. As much as I love the ubuntu kde os    it seems as though this problem has gotten the best of me and I may have to try Fedora8
[02:07] <syntaxerror55> how do I tell my computer to turn off from the command line?
[02:07] <Kijutsu> Does the Kubuntu installer allow partition resizing?
[02:07] <itsjustme> I have tried for 3weeks and all I have done is take up your valuable time.. I thanks you all for your expertise and willingness to help me out with this issue and even though I will be losing ubuntu at least I have learned a lot of different things here.. Thanks to all that have helped me now and in the past.... Goodnight and Happy New Year
[02:07] <BluesKaj> Kijutsu, yes the live cd does
[02:08] <Kijutsu> BluesKaj: how reliable is the resizer?
[02:08] <syntaxerror55> It's gParted, right?
[02:08] <Scotty> syntaxerror55: sudo halt
[02:08] <syntaxerror55> Scotty: thanks
[02:09] <BluesKaj> well ,I can't say from personal experience cuz i used gparted to resize and format the partitions previous to the install
[02:09] <syntaxerror55> gParted comes with the UBUNTU liveCD, I think it also comes with the kubuntu one but I'm not sure
[02:10] <Kijutsu> I'm just worried about it breaking the existing partition that I have windows on :/  I'm trying to move away from windows on my laptop, it's just it has the i810 chipset and it doesn't support XV video at all.
[02:10] <BluesKaj> Gparted on a live cd
[02:10] <syntaxerror55> I also have a 1-year-old GParted live CD ;D
[02:10] <Kijutsu> i should just invest in a laptop that doesn't blow goat chunks.
[02:11] <Kijutsu> Thanks all.
[02:11] <syntaxerror55> Kijutsu: heh. On my laptop, the speaker is rusting, the CD Drive doesn't work and the fans are broken
[02:11] <Kijutsu> syntaxerror55: nice. :D
[02:11] <Kijutsu> Wait
[02:11] <tomaz__> help
[02:12] <Kijutsu> how the heck is the SPEAKER rusting?  Did you get the unit wet?
[02:12] <tomaz__> i'v configured dsl using the pppoeconf, and it worked
[02:12] <tomaz__> but now, i'v removed the dsl, and the network doesn't work anymore
[02:12] <syntaxerror55> Kijutsu: I have no idea. I got it back from GeekSquad that way :|
[02:12] <Kijutsu> Hah.. that explains *EVERYTHING*
[02:13] <wesley> how can i fix adept its crased
[02:13] <BluesKaj> heh , Best Buy GeekSquad...was selling shoes the week before he was hired :)
[02:13] <Kijutsu> syntaxerror55: i've got an old compaq here the same way.  Dead CD rom.. hard drive is questionable.  the screen is going dead.. the 'old lcd' look is starting.  and the fan screams.
[02:13] <syntaxerror55> I was dual-booting and had a problem in Windows and they called and said they couldn't figure out how to boot into Windows so they were sending it back.
[02:14] <pyrotix> what's the easiest way to get flash on gutsy with plugin for konq?
[02:14] <syntaxerror55> Kijutsu: My LCD screen has somehow stayed brand new
[02:14] <Kijutsu> Oh yes.. I forgot, the sound card is long dead and it provides the wrong vendor Identification.
[02:15] <Kijutsu> syntaxerror55: so you're familiar with the 'old lcd' look eh?
[02:15] <wesley> does someone know how to fix adept when it crased?
[02:15] <syntaxerror55> I don't think the wireless card in this unit even works. One day it just stopped showing up (not that I use wireless, I have an ethernet cable ;D)
[02:15] <Kijutsu> wesley: how did adept crash?
[02:15] <syntaxerror55> and yes I am Kijutsu :D
[02:16] <BluesKaj> wesley, sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[02:17] <syntaxerror55> wait, to INSTALL Hardy?
[02:17] <syntaxerror55> He won't come back alive XD
[02:18] <Kijutsu> bad?
[02:18] <syntaxerror55> It's only alpha 2.
[02:18] <Kijutsu> ...bad
[02:18] <mboso> I just installed amarok 1.4.8 on a ubuntu gutsy box and to get mp3 support working I installed kubuntu-restricted-extras and manuall installed libxine1-ffmpeg_1.1.8-2ubuntu2~gutsy1_i386.deb but MP3s are still not play. What did I miss? (asked in #amarok but no one is home)
[02:18] <syntaxerror55> I wouldn't have unstable software on any computer
[02:18] <Kijutsu> heh... i used to all the time with gentoo
[02:18] <syntaxerror55> (scratch that, an unstable OS)
[02:18] <Kijutsu> it used to crash a lot.
[02:19] <firecrotch> alpha 2 is out? Yay!
[02:19] <syntaxerror55> Gentoo is too much compiling for me :|
[02:19] <Kijutsu> that's why i went to kubuntu
[02:19] <Kijutsu> i was tired of waiting 48+ hours for a complete installation
[02:20] <syntaxerror55> and if something goes wrong
[02:20] <Kijutsu> start over
[02:20] <syntaxerror55> you've wasted two days of your life
[02:20] <syntaxerror55> and that
[02:20] <wesley> Lijstmap /var/lib/apt/lists/partial is afwezig.
[02:20] <wesley> E: Archiefmap /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is afwezig.
[02:20] <Dr_willis> but you learn so much... :)
[02:20] <wesley> this says it
[02:20] <Kijutsu> Dr_willis: yes you do.
[02:21] <Kijutsu> Dr_willis: that is how i learned 99% of what i know on linux
[02:21] <Dr_willis> You learn to install irssi first.. so you can chat while the rest of the system compiles...
[02:21] <BluesKaj> wesley, sudo dpkg --configure -a'
[02:21]  * syntaxerror55 is using irssi right now
[02:22] <wesley> BluesKaj will that fix the missing parts?
[02:24] <wesley> apt-get says a file named partial is missing
[02:24] <adamonline46> Hello all.  Under 'system settings', when I click on 'Sharing', it locks up.  Does anyone know how I might resolve this?
[02:25] <flaccid> adamonline46: desktop sharing or file sharing?
[02:26] <adamonline46> flaccid: I suspect file sharing, it's under 'network & connectivity'...  Also, my file sharing's acting strange, I can't see remote samba shares unless I'm root...
[02:28] <flaccid> !samba | adamonline46
[02:28] <ubotu> adamonline46: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.
[02:28] <flaccid> did you read that?
[02:31] <Dr_willis> dont forget the books in the samba-doc package also....
[02:34] <Lam_> in dolphin, there's a "convert to" button for image format conversions. what compression level is used for png?
[02:36] <mboso> I just installed amarok 1.4.8 on a ubuntu gutsy box and to get mp3 support working I installed kubuntu-restricted-extras and manuall installed libxine1-ffmpeg_1.1.8-2ubuntu2~gutsy1_i386.deb but MP3s are still not play. What did I miss? (asked in #amarok but no one is home)
[02:36] <adamonline46> flaccid: I've scanned that, verified I'm a valid SMB user... I did however learn that I can connect using smbclient at the command line as a regular user, just not from Dolphin...
[02:37] <Dr_willis> ive had issues with dolphin and konqueror timing out instantly when accessing samba shares.
[02:37] <Dr_willis> but then it started working..
[02:38] <adamonline46> Dr_willis: That sounds like what's going on here, it fits... It just fixed itself, eh?  Dang lucky 8)
[02:38] <flaccid> adamonline46: what does dolphin return?
[02:38] <adamonline46> flaccid: It hangs at 'Loading directory...[0%              ]'
[02:39] <adamonline46> No errors, persay
[02:39] <BluesKaj> prolly setup the networkprinter , that's how samba found the path :)
[02:40] <Dr_willis> adamonline46,  i normally use the samba fuse tools now a days

[02:41] <flaccid> report a bug i guess
[02:41] <adamonline46> Dr_willis: I'll check that out... I figure since I can access the share from CLI, maybe I can mount a share and then access it from dolphin... Fuse allows mounting, configuring, etc; and is... a web interface? Is there a package?
[02:42] <adamonline46> flaccid: Ooh, my first bug...  I'll check launchpad out too  :)

[02:43] <flaccid> use those two to see whats going on kio wise with samba and if see if they work which would mean its a dolphin bug..
[02:43] <ubotu> Package/file smbfuse does not exist in gutsy
[02:43] <Dr_willis> !find fusesmb

[02:43] <flaccid> whats fusesmb?
[02:43] <nonewmsgs> my kde resolution is all messed up but my xorg.conf file is right.  if i try to adjust it in the display properties it corrupts the xorg.conf file
[02:43] <nonewmsgs> a new user has good resolution
[02:44] <flaccid> what i hate about ubuntu ishow it reverts your workgroup/samba configuration all the time, its shites me big time
[02:44] <Dr_willis> fuxesmb - lets you make a directlry, that basicially scans/accesss all the samba shares on the network
[02:44] <Dr_willis> flaccid,  ive never seen it do that yet.
[02:44] <flaccid> thats pretty cool
[02:44] <flaccid> its been doing that to me for years. it either removes the workgroup directive from smb.conf or changes it to WORKGROUP
[02:45] <flaccid> i assumed by gutsy it would be fixed but its not, so i should report a bug
[02:45] <adamonline46> Dr_willis: Actually, I have SMB4k, and it halts as well...
[02:45] <Dr_willis> smb4k is nice - i used to use it all the time.
[02:45] <flaccid> sounds like a kio problem
[02:45] <Dr_willis> but with the fusesmb thing. you can do it at login, and no need to mount individial shares.  and it can see machiens as they join the network
[02:46] <adamonline46> Dr_willis: flaccid: I can see my workgroup name, get to a list of computers, and then it halts when i select one, regardless of which I choose... What's a kio problem mean?  Is it something else I could look at for a problem?
[02:47] <nonewmsgs> my kde and gnome are both messed up at the same time.  usually only one breaks down at a time and i switch for a while
[02:47] <ardchoille> !nickspam > MistaGee
[02:47] <adamonline46> er, that's in smb4k
[02:47] <flaccid> adamonline46: kio is the object that does the input output for that connection. you can check logs
[02:47] <Dr_willis> look at the status bars whenya select a share.. Mine i saw '... timed out...' i think.
[02:47] <adamonline46> Dr_willis: I've never seen it say 'timed out...'
[02:47] <adamonline46> It just goes gray
[02:48] <Dr_willis> it flashed so fast on me.. that i barelys aw it.. you may be having other issues.
[02:48] <adamonline46> ahhh, I'll try again
[02:49] <nonewmsgs> bah
[02:49] <BluesKaj> Dr_willis, how does the fusesmb work if samba is already installed on a system ?
[02:49] <nonewmsgs> mistell
[02:49] <flaccid> i thought fusesmb was a client not a server
[02:50] <adamonline46> What does 'master browser' mean?
[02:50] <BluesKaj> It's basically smbmount with a twist. Instead of mounting one Samba share at a time, you mount all workgroups, hosts and shares at once. Only when you're accessing a share a connection is made to the remote computer.
[02:50] <flaccid> its the samba server that does the election for lan browser via nmb/smb
[02:50] <adamonline46> In the tooltips in each of my shares, I see it says 'master browser Lyle', which is a machine on my network that doesn't do anything but host a share...
[02:51] <flaccid> adamonline46: the master browser is the machine that gives out the list of computers and workgroups as the clients poll to it on the network
[02:51] <adamonline46> flaccid: Oh my.  Could this perchance be my problem?  I don't know how it became the master! :O
[02:51] <flaccid> adamonline46: step 1. check logs on both server and client and pastebin errors..
[02:51] <adamonline46> I didn't even know I had a 'master'
[02:52] <flaccid> the master browser or incorrect setting does not affect connection to a server
[02:52] <adamonline46> flaccid: samba logs?  Are both client and server logs in '/var/log/samba'?
[02:52] <adamonline46> flaccid: Okay, cool
[02:52] <flaccid> i set my local server to be the master so it doesn't get confused
[02:52] <flaccid> yes
[02:52] <flaccid> but election only affects browsing, not connection to a smb server
[02:55] <adamonline46> flaccid: Hmm.  Exactly which logs am i looking at?  I see a lot, presumably from machines on the school lan, but none of them really have anything in them
[02:56] <flaccid> well first you have a look on the server and then on the client. the smb.conf is usually configured to store a log per client based on their machine name (netbios) or IP
[02:56] <Dr_willis> BluesKaj,  its a fancy 'client' i guess ya can say.
[02:56] <flaccid> there is also a main log called smb.log as well or something also nmb.log or something
[02:56] <flaccid> in terms of log on the client side, there isn't one iirc
[02:56] <squidy> hello..  I've installed compiz in kubuntu and it's working well.. but when I try to run some videos like .avi or rmvb in kaffeine I just listen to audio but no image shows for me...
[02:56] <Dr_willis> BluesKaj,  the user does 'fusesmb /home/username/Network' and all the samba network is browseable in that diretrory
[02:57] <squidy> May you help me about that?
[02:57] <mrtimbo> does my /home partition work for other distros too?
[02:57] <flaccid> !info samba
[02:57] <ubotu> samba: a LanManager-like file and printer server for Unix. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.26a-1ubuntu2.3 (gutsy), package size 3751 kB, installed size 9212 kB
[02:57] <flaccid> pretty crazy that samba is still optional...
[02:58] <flaccid> newbies install kubuntu and they go i can't share files and then have no idea how to do it or why people cannot see their computer on the network
[02:58] <Dr_willis> ubuntu takes the 'all servers are optional' security rules.. mentality i guess
[02:58] <Dr_willis> actually i think the kde 'share folder' thing does auto instrall some of the bits
[02:58] <flaccid> which is good, but the installer can include installation and configuration of samba, optionally
[03:00] <mrtimbo> does my /home partition work for other distros too?
[03:01] <jameswf-home> I was banned from ubuntu for questioning a nazi opp WOW

[03:02] <mrtimbo> with bsd is what i meant. sorry
[03:03] <flaccid> mrtimbo: well /home exists in bsd as well. what do you mean by work?
[03:03] <Dr_willis> with shareing /home on different disrtos. you can have user/owner/mermisson issues
[03:03] <mrtimbo> like access my music n pix
[03:03] <flaccid> samba is available on bsd as well yes
[03:04] <mrtimbo> ok
[03:04] <bmack> im having trouble installing fglrx i always get a xorg.conf error at startup and have to change fglrx back to vesa for it to boot up

[03:04] <jameswf-home> kubuntu is apprised of thousands of apps whats off topic...
[03:06] <flaccid> adamonline46: i guess huck (<IP_ADDRESS>) couldn't find service www . which usually means its trying to access www workgroup which doesn't exist
[03:06] <scheisse20> holoh?
[03:07] <scheisse20> hola
[03:07] <adamonline46> flaccid: Actually, if you're referring to the last few lines, that was me trying to access a share called 'www' on that machine, but I had the wrong machine, there was no 'www' share :)
[03:07] <scheisse20> ok
[03:08] <flaccid> adamonline46: right then what are the errors occuring when you go to access?
[03:08] <adamonline46> flaccid: On the server?  Lemme tail it...
[03:08] <flaccid>  read_data: read failure for 4 bytes to client <IP_ADDRESS>. Error = Connection reset by peer  and also the routing issue there perhaps..

[03:12] <ardchoille> Andresito: This is a support channel for Kubuntu. Social chat in #kubuntu-offtopic
[03:12] <Andresito> oh, i'm sorry, so sorry!!
[03:12] <adamonline46> flaccid: Well, if I sign in at the CLI or as root in Dolphin, I get a standard 'connect to service as user xxxx', so it works normally.  If I try to connect as normal user, nothing gets logged...
[03:13] <flaccid> adamonline46: right pastebin your smb.conf i will fix because im a legend :p
[03:13] <adamonline46> flaccid: Isn't smb.conf only for the server?  I think this is a client issue...
[03:14] <adamonline46> I have one that's super plain, lemme find what I copied it from...
[03:14] <adamonline46> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49767/
[03:14] <flaccid> adamonline46: we don't know for sure yet, but i can tell you if there is a problem at least
[03:14] <adamonline46> alright
[03:14] <flaccid> that logs suggests networking but then that doesn't make sense if what you can connect as route? you should check your /etc/samba/smbusers map..
[03:15] <flaccid> route=root
[03:15] <Dr_willis> normally root is disabled i thought from samba logins
[03:16] <adamonline46> flaccid: Well, the link above is the one that I'm using from my fileserver.  The error log I sent was from my CS server...
[03:16] <adamonline46> flaccid: I have no /etc/samba/smbusers
[03:16] <flaccid> adamonline46: well issue first is that you are using share mode, please read the samba guide and implement a proper smb.conf
[03:16] <flaccid> share mode always will have issues and probably is why only root can access. to set up share mode correctly you have to do a lot more than what you have there..
[03:17] <adamonline46> flaccid: Well all my other servers are using 'user' security.  Let me post you my smb.conf from one that I haven't modified to nothing as a result of troubleshooting this 8)
[03:18] <flaccid> adamonline46: yes implmeent user mode security and user an smbusers map..
[03:18] <flaccid> adamonline46: i will pastebin you mine and you can go from there
[03:18] <Dr_willis> its a pastebin party!
[03:19] <ardchoille> lol
[03:19] <flaccid> i just wish kubuntu would do something about samba
[03:19] <adamonline46> flaccid: Very well, I'll hold off on passing you what I have... I'll implement the one you give me and we'll go from there.
[03:20] <flaccid> well here is mine atm. note how ubuntu has ripped out the workgroup and server strings! http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50230/
[03:21] <flaccid> maybe i should just get my master browser configuration
[03:22] <mike_> knetworkmanager keeps promting me for a wep password ,i do not have one ,and so drops connection/
[03:22] <adamonline46> flaccid: Alright, cool.  I'll put it on and restart samba... I'm not clear on what smbusers.conf should have in it though; will that happen when i run with security = user?
[03:23] <mike_> How can I dissable wep password?
[03:23] <flaccid> um /etc/samba/smbusers maps samba users to shell users. eg. if they are the same you can do flaccid = flaccid for example
[03:24] <flaccid> adamonline46: not my directives in here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50231/
[03:24] <flaccid> not=note
[03:27] <flaccid> adamonline46: so the important global directives are map to guest = Bad User, username map = /etc/samba/smbusers (security = user is a default). check config params with testparm
[03:28] <arrrghhh> so i'm in user management, and after i do the administrator mode and put in a correct root pw, i still can't make any changes
[03:29] <adamonline46> flaccid: Alright.  What should I make 'server' in smb.conf? Er, waht's the line that it removed?
[03:29] <flaccid> what do you mean
[03:29] <flaccid> arrrghhh: thats common unfortunately
[03:29] <arrrghhh> is it a kde bug?
[03:30] <flaccid> either kde or kubuntu, not sure which
[03:30] <flaccid> you could check if it exists in !bugs already
[03:30] <arrrghhh> hrm
[03:30] <arrrghhh> i'm sure it does
[03:30] <adamonline46> flaccid: You said Ubuntu removed the 'server string'.  What should I put in that field?
[03:30] <arrrghhh> what's the remedy/workaround?
[03:31] <flaccid> adamonline46: anything, its a description, can just use %h like i have done which is the host
[03:33] <arrrghhh> what's the remedy/workaround?  i kinda need to set my user to vboxusers so i can actually use virtualbox
[03:33] <flaccid> arrrghhh: i don't know of one
[03:34] <flaccid> set your user to vboxusers?
[03:34] <Tallen> Is it correct to say the portion on the CommonQuestions regarding 64-bit is outdated?
[03:34] <flaccid> you can add it via cli
[03:34] <alesan> arrrghhh: I use root and virtualbox has no problems
[03:34] <arrrghhh> alesan: you run virtualbox as root?
[03:34] <adamonline46> arrrghhh: I had that same problem occasionally, installing kcontrol seemed to work better than the default settings manager... I dunno if that can lead to conflicts or not though.
[03:34] <arrrghhh> yea...
[03:35] <alesan> arrrghhh: actually, I run everything as root, I even login gaphically. some say it's a security hole and flame up
[03:35] <arrrghhh> meh
[03:35] <adamonline46> flaccid: Alright, i testparmed, and restarted Samba... Lemme see if I can access it, at least from the machines I used to be able to 8)
[03:35] <arrrghhh> it's your security hole, not mine
[03:35] <arrrghhh> i'd rather not run things as root... that's the main issue i have with winodws
[03:35] <arrrghhh> is UAC
[03:35] <marx2k> hey whats a way to get KDE to switch to another desktop when you move your mouse to the edge of the screen?
[03:35] <alesan> ok happy sudo then :)
[03:35] <Dr_willis> UAC = Most annoying thing since... clippy!
[03:35] <flaccid> arrrghhh: did you follow this exactly? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[03:36] <flaccid> marx2k: ctrl + f2 etc..
[03:36] <arrrghhh> UAC is what separates the stupid user from the core of the system
[03:36] <arrrghhh> call it annoying call it what you will
[03:36] <arrrghhh> linux provides a way around it, but it's there for a reason
[03:36] <Dr_willis> its nost more buttons for them to click ok on.. befor they install their spyware-wrapped screensaver
[03:36] <Dr_willis> :)
[03:36] <marx2k> flaccid: well yeah.. but I want it to switch when the mouse pointer hits the edge of the screen
[03:36] <flaccid> arrrghhh: the virtualbox guide details what you need to do user/group wise..
[03:37] <arrrghhh> flaccid: that's for the OSE...
[03:37] <flaccid> OSE ?
[03:37] <marx2k> I think there might be a package that does it but I cant remember
[03:37] <arrrghhh> open source edition
[03:37] <alesan> arrrghhh: not that I am interestd too much, but can you expand UAC?
[03:37] <arrrghhh> doesn't have usb support which i need
[03:37] <Dr_willis> I see a Mouse-wheel changes desktops.. feture. but not sure ive seen a kde-change on edge of the desktop - option
[03:37] <arrrghhh> alesan: what do you mean?
[03:37] <alesan> what is the UAC achronym?
[03:37] <arrrghhh> oh
[03:38] <alesan> U=? A=? C=?
[03:38] <flaccid> arrrghhh: still it advises what to do user/group wise that you need to do. or you could learn usermod command to add a user to the group yourself
[03:38] <arrrghhh> user access control sorry
[03:38] <adamonline46> flaccid: Alright, I got your config installed and added the parms you requested I add.  I can still access the machine from CLI, but in Dolphin, can now not do my 'open as root' trick.
[03:38] <flaccid> adamonline46: thats probably a good thing.
[03:38] <alesan> dolphin is on of the most annoying things ever :)
[03:38] <arrrghhh> flaccid: that's what i was trying to achieve with adding my user to the vboxusers group
[03:39] <flaccid> arrrghhh: google add user to group and it will show you how to do it with usermod ..
[03:39] <adamonline46> flaccid: Yes, but I still can't access my shares as a regular user, either
[03:39] <flaccid> adamonline46: you need to advise why, i can't read minds or your logs remotely
[03:39] <arrrghhh> yea, i was hoping for kde to have guis that worked... fark
[03:39] <adamonline46> I'm almost certain it's client side, as even clicking 'mshome' yields nothing but a blank directory, unless I'm root
[03:40] <adamonline46> flaccid: I don't know what will help.  I've looked into everything I can think of on my own :/
[03:40] <flaccid> adamonline46: its pretty basic. you get the client to try to access the share, then you look at what was put in the log on the server..
[03:41] <flaccid> if you still have timeouts or whatever, it has to be a client issue i guess
[03:41] <adamonline46> But when my accessing fails, the logs show no change.  I don't think the request even gets out of the client...
[03:42] <marx2k> HAH!! I found the answer to my question... if anyone else cares... Control Center/Window Behavior/Advanced/Active Desktop Borders is the setting that handles that :)
[03:42] <flaccid> adamonline46: in that case you could check netstat to see the status of the tcp connection to see if its waiting or timing out or whatever instead of 'ESTABLISHED'
[03:43] <adamonline46> Plus, I can access all the Samba shares on all 4 Linux machines from my WinXP box; but this lunux machine won't access the same shares through smbclient unless it's CLI or root (assuming root's not an invalid user)
[03:43] <adamonline46> ah, netstat...
[03:43] <flaccid> must be that one computer then adamonline46
[03:45] <adamonline46> flaccid: Hehheh, that's what I figure :)  I just wish I knew what it could be... Netstat's a Win32 thing; since I'm not using the XP box as a client or server in this case, that won't really help...
[03:45] <dsmith> alesan: Dolphin is annoying?
[03:45] <flaccid> netstat is a unix thing adamonline46 that microsoft took via interix
[03:45] <adamonline46> Hehheh, well, I can tell you've had enough of me for tonight, I can let you go 8)
[03:45] <adamonline46> ooh
[03:45] <dsmith> ballmer and his IP rights, phooeey!
[03:45] <flaccid> netstat -a | grep -i TCP
[03:46] <arrrghhh> well that was a pita
[03:46] <arrrghhh> i really wish kde would just make guis that work... they're so nice when they do
[03:46] <flaccid> arrrghhh: lol thats a contradicting statement
[03:46] <arrrghhh> uh
[03:46] <arrrghhh> no
[03:46] <arrrghhh> i mean cli tools are great... but i don't want to memorize how to do everything with the gui
[03:47] <ircleuser> hello has anyone seen pope1 around lately?
[03:47] <flaccid> if kde's guis didn't work, i wouldn't be here. because 1 thing is failing doesn't disregard the whole desktop environment
[03:47] <arrrghhh> and i'm never going to be able to get anyone to use linux if gui tools don't work right
[03:47] <arrrghhh> well flaccid i wasn't disregarding the entire desktop
[03:47] <arrrghhh> you blew my statement out of proportion
[03:47] <flaccid> arrrghhh: this is 1 example. windows as well as all desktop environments have bugs at least this one you can look up.
[03:47] <arrrghhh> certainly
[03:47] <flaccid> you said you wish that kde would make guis that work. they do..
[03:47] <ardchoille> Please take the Windows talk to another channel.
[03:48] <arrrghhh> just seems like a simple thing that doesn't work
[03:48] <ChangeNIck> lol
[03:48] <ChangeNIck> Has anyone seen pope1?
[03:48] <arrrghhh> just not all the time...
[03:48] <flaccid> ardchoille: windows talk?
[03:48] <arrrghhh> right
[03:49] <dsmith> !ot
[03:49] <ubotu> #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[03:50]  * flaccid yawns
[03:50] <arrrghhh> well that's why i came here
[03:50] <arrrghhh> was kubuntu support
[03:50] <marx2k> how incomplete is KDE4? Will it be totally not ready for release next month?
[03:50] <arrrghhh> because i couldn't add my user to the group vboxusers
[03:50] <adamonline46> flaccid: I think netstat shows something!  It has 3 TIME_WAIT statuses.  Two are from this machines IP to the gateway IP:netbios-ssn, and the third is from 'huck:55356' to 'huck:netbios-ssn.  (this machine with the problems is Huck)... Does that mean anything to you?
[03:50] <flaccid> !kde4 | marx2k
[03:50] <ubotu> marx2k: kde4 is KDE 4 is the next major release of the K Desktop Environment. For more information, please see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_4 - The Release Schedule is available at http://tinyurl.com/2gqwmr - RC 2 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php
[03:51] <marx2k> I was asking more for an opinion
[03:51] <dsmith> yo mean KDE4 beta
[03:51] <dsmith> heh
[03:51] <adamonline46> flaccid: I'm thinking that maybe there is an IP conflict here.  Is there a way to get a new, different IP for Huck?
[03:51] <flaccid> adamonline46: yep so you definately have a client or networking problem. there is no firewall on these boxes?
[03:51] <flaccid> adamonline46: how did you create the ip conflict and where is the dhcp server
[03:51] <adamonline46> At the moment, no.  Only the one on the router pointing to WAN
[03:52] <the-erm> flaccid: I would guess that 1 is assigned via the dhcp, and the other one would be assigned statically.
[03:52] <the-erm> Or ... 2 cards have the same mac address might do it.
[03:52] <the-erm> But this is just a guess.
[03:53] <marx2k> adamonline46: what does the command smbtree show?
[03:53] <flaccid> the-erm: it can be set thousands of ways
[03:54] <adamonline46> The DHCP server is a linksys router, which is connected to the cable modem.  however, I DID mess around with getting static IPs for the machines in my room, and used <IP_ADDRESS> as the test IP reservation.  I removed the IP reservation before I even tried starting with this networking stuff, though.  However, this computer (huck) is currently assigned to <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:54] <flaccid> adamonline46: so either set a dhcp server on the lan or set unique ips statically on each client
[03:54] <adamonline46> marx2k: As near as I can tell, it shows every last share on the network, and every computer
[03:54] <nonewmsgs> my kde is using the wrong rez for one user but display properties only corrupts the xorg.conf file.  other users are fine.  how can i fix this
[03:55] <flaccid> adamonline46: yeah so bad networking. fix your networking by turning on the dhcp server and configuring it correctly then get each client to renew. some windows boxes will need reboot to get out of arp cache or reset arp cache on each box
[03:56] <ChangeNIck> ahh where is a good channel for C programming
[03:56] <CheGuevara> #c
[03:56] <CheGuevara> suprisingly enough :P
[03:56] <ChangeNIck> hehe thanks
[03:56] <alesan> ##c actually :
[03:56] <alesan> ##c actually :)
[03:57] <CheGuevara> it redirects anyway :P
[03:57] <adamonline46> flaccid: Well, I removed all the static IP settings I made a while ago... maybe I should restart the router (the lynksys), which is my DHCP server.  It should be configured with NO static settings currently... I'll make sure it's still doing DHCP
[03:58] <marx2k> adamonline46: interesting. I hate dealing with smb.conf files myself. I use the gsambad utility to deal with it :) But when I got to the point where I couldnt handle it anymore and couldnt figure out what the error was, I made a backup of the current samba file on the problem machine and created a minimal samba config file  -- http://www.kmit.sk/~dany/article.php?story=2007033016443785
[03:58] <flaccid> adamonline46: just remember there is no reason to set a static ip on a computer unless its a server.
[03:58] <flaccid> marx2k: problem wasn't that.
[03:58] <marx2k> Oh..
[03:58] <adamonline46> flaccid: That's what I have, a file server, a web server, and a Counter-Strike: Source server...
[03:58] <marx2k> I guess I am not sure of the actual problem :)
[03:59] <adamonline46> marx2k: It was, a while back, before we figured out it wasn't 8)  But thank you
[03:59] <marx2k> adamonline46: set it as dhcp on the server and set a static IP for it on the router for the mac address
[03:59] <flaccid> adamonline46: then set them to static ip if you have to port forward to them which you do. just don't use the same ip on 2 computers lol
[03:59] <flaccid> marx2k: nah they are servers they go static.
[04:00] <marx2k> haha ok well Im just gonna go back to this PHP tutorial :)
[04:00] <flaccid> you shouldn't even do static dhcp for them as thats a dependency that can create downtime..
[04:00] <adamonline46> flaccid: Indeed!  I'm not even sure I was doing it properly in the first place, as I had figured I'd need to use the MAC address to bind the address to each machine, but there was no MAC address text field in the settings I was changing...
[04:00] <adamonline46> marx2k: PHP  rules... GL!
[04:01] <flaccid> adamonline46: yeah mac address is only used with dhcp to provide static dhcp to clients. yeah don't think normal linksys firmware supports that anyway
[04:02] <flaccid> i have a linksys wrt54gl router flashed with dd-wrt linux firmware, but i still use my ubuntu server to provide dns and dhcp
[04:03] <adamonline46> Oh yeah?  I would like to do that, but I don't think I could spare the investment in downtime
[04:03] <flaccid> what downtime adamonline46?
[04:04] <adamonline46> To configure a DHCP server with another one on the same network
[04:04] <adamonline46> er, I tried that once a while back, and had nothing but problems for a couple days; finally ditched the idea...
[04:05] <flaccid> adamonline46: you only run 1 on the same physical network (well usually). simply turn the other one off once the new one is up..
[04:05] <flaccid> adamonline46: well there are common problems, but i'm happy to show you if you want
[04:05] <adamonline46> Yeah, but I won't know it's up for sure! :O
[04:05] <adamonline46> heheh
[04:05] <adamonline46> well, I only need 1 nic to do that, right?
[04:05] <flaccid> yeah you will, its called testing :)
[04:05] <adamonline46> haha
[04:05] <flaccid> yeah it just sits on my ubuntu dapper server eeeek
[04:06] <flaccid> !dhcp
[04:06] <ubotu> dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP
[04:06] <flaccid> i will pastebin my /etc/dhcpd.conf and thats really all you need
[04:06] <adamonline46> well, if you want to show me, I'll post a notice on the CS Server MOTD to expect occasional downtime; unless the network will still function should I disable DHCP...?
[04:06] <adamonline46> And I have to take a bio break, I'll BRB :)
[04:07] <flaccid> there shouldn't be any downtime particularly because machines have a least time and only renew at end of lease..
[04:07] <nonewmsgs> after loging into gnome my screen is brown with a mouse cursor and nothing else.  other users are unaffected
[04:08] <flaccid> adamonline46: all you need to do is instal package dhcp and use something like this http://pastebin.ca/839673
[04:14] <adamonline46> flaccid: What kind of changes do I need to do on the clients?
[04:14] <flaccid> none
[04:15] <adamonline46> oh nice
[04:15] <flaccid> you are just changing dhcp server, so as long as you stop the other one after your start the new one, it should be fine as long as the config is right
[04:15] <flaccid> and of course the server is running
[04:15] <flaccid> there won't be downtime and if a dhcp is not available for a few seconds it won't matter
[04:16] <adamonline46> lemme ask you a question about DNS... If I install a DNS server on the same machine, can I maintain just one 'hosts' file and have my machines search for hostnames on it?  Er, with only one NIC?
[04:16] <flaccid> see in my pastebin, how there is an entry for lister... thats the notebook im on atm which of course has that static dhcp
[04:16] <flaccid> adamonline46: it doesn't use a host file, it uses zones if you create dns zones, otherwise you can have it dns relay to your isp.
[04:17] <flaccid> so its common for people to server a local domain name and then relay other lookups external
[04:17] <adamonline46> alright, I'll stick with dhcp first...  That sounds like something else I'd like to do though
[04:18] <adamonline46> Alright, I isntalled the package, let me check the syslog, it got an error when it started up
[04:18] <Alonea> ok, I am trying to empty my recycle bin. it hasn't move from 0% in the progress dialog.
[04:19] <adamonline46> flaccid: Ah, it says no subnet declaration...
[04:19] <flaccid> there is one in my pastebin, you must of stuffed it syntactly
[04:20] <adamonline46> flaccid: I didn't get the pastebin in yet 8)
[04:20] <Alonea> I don't remember what to do when your recycle bin gets corrupted or whatever is wrong with it
[04:20] <adamonline46> flaccid: Where do I find dhcpd.conf?
[04:21] <flaccid> its /etc/dhcpd.conf
[04:21] <biovore> isn't it in /etc/dhcpd.conf I think
[04:21] <adamonline46> yup heheh, sorry, I'll figure the things out on my own from now on wehre it's shorter to type it into the terminal than IRC 8)
[04:24] <se7en> Alonea: it happens here sometimes as well ... i cancle the process and rm the files in ~/.local/share/Trash/files
[04:24] <Alonea> se7en: thanks. will try that
[04:25] <Alonea> se7en: can I just delete the files folder?
[04:26] <adamonline46> flaccid: How do I determine the correct settings for all the options, like domain-name and subnet?
[04:27] <Tonren> Hello.  Has anyone encountered the keyboard issue I describe in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4044173 this thread?
[04:27] <Alonea> se7en: er, I got an access denied and it stopped
[04:27] <flaccid> adamonline46: thats up to you. domain-name can be anything and subnet thats your choice
[04:28] <adamonline46> Oh okay.  So I can keep it at what the current router is, and not have to change all my forwards, perhaps...
[04:28] <adamonline46> Speaking of which, is that okay? To maintain teh use of my Linksys router for forwarding?
[04:29] <flaccid> this has nothing to do with routing or forwarding adamonline46
[04:29] <flaccid> you are simply replacing the dhcp server which gives the relevant fields to clients
[04:30] <flaccid> so they co-exist, just like they do at home here
[04:30] <adamonline46> Alright, nice... Thanks for takin' the time to answer my n00b question, by the way 8)
[04:30] <flaccid> np sir
[04:30] <hikenboot> anyone know where I can find package wand needed for compiling xscreensaver
[04:31] <Alonea> will try under kdesu dolphin and see if that works
[04:32] <adamonline46> flaccid: Which option do I put the exterior dns servers under? Like, the request forwarding or whatnot...
[04:32] <Alonea> note to self...having around 15 gigs in trash makes it freak out...
[04:33] <flaccid> adamonline46: um i thought you were doing dhcp not dns
[04:33] <flaccid> you only assign the dhcp server(s) in dhcpd.conf like option domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS>;
[04:33] <adamonline46> Oh yeah, lols... Whoah... brain fart!
[04:34] <flaccid> so in my case, it goes my local dns server, then two isps for fallback, then <IP_ADDRESS> for public fallback
[04:34] <flaccid> only problem is i think windows does round robin in this case
[04:35] <adamonline46> Oh okay, so since this is the DHCP server, how do I know what it's set to?  Can I declare it as a "host lister"?
[04:35] <adamonline46> Er, assign itself to a static IP?
[04:36] <flaccid> i don't get your question, there is no need for you to implement static dhcp. your servers will run on static not the dhcp server.
[04:36] <flaccid> ignore all below # Static DHCP by mac in the pastebin..
[04:36] <adamonline46> Oh okay, I can do that
[04:38] <adamonline46> flaccid: So, with this being the DHCP server, how do I make my other servers static?  Also, this is my fileserver, too, if it could maintain a static IP that would be cool...
[04:38] <flaccid> so you goto manual configuration from knetworkmanager to do that
[04:39] <dsmith> whats a good ftp server for linux?
[04:39] <flaccid> or edit /etc/network/interfaces . if they are set to static they won't poll dhcp server at all..
[04:39] <CheGuevara> dsmith: proftpd
[04:39] <flaccid> or vsftpd for something more simple
[04:39] <CheGuevara> heh was about to say that
[04:39] <dsmith> thx :)
[04:39] <adamonline46> flaccid: Gotcha
[04:40] <flaccid> sweet
[04:41] <adamonline46> flaccid: Okay.  I think it's mostly set up, but... what are the option 'domain name' and 'domain name servers' for if this is only a dhcp server?
[04:42] <flaccid> they are the domain name and dns server fields they give client
[04:42] <flaccid> so you would set that to the ip of your router or your isps dns ips directly
[04:42] <adamonline46> oooh, okay.  So the client knows how to set itself up when it joins my network 8)
[04:42] <flaccid> for domain-name-servers
[04:42] <adamonline46> Router sounds good...
[04:43] <flaccid> set domain-name to anything... it doesn't have to be in global dns it could be adamonline.com
[04:43] <flaccid> yeah thats what dhcp is. it gives the network settings to the client instead of static
[04:44] <adamonline46> I'll set it to 'iwillhaxorjoobox.com' so I can disable WPA...
[04:44] <flaccid> ah im not sure what this has to do with wpa. if you run wireless you still should be using wpa
[04:45] <adamonline46> flaccid: hehheh, just kdiding... alright, here's where I'm at... I have the Linksys at <IP_ADDRESS>.  What should I set this subnet to?  Would it be the same?
[04:47] <flaccid> so subnet <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS> {
[04:47] <flaccid> <IP_ADDRESS> is the subnet
[04:47] <flaccid> ie. the .0
[04:49] <adamonline46> flaccid: Alright.  Should I re-declare the domain-name-servers inside that subnet?  And, what about 'broadcast address' and 'routers'? Would 'routers' get set to <IP_ADDRESS>, the IP of my Linksys?
[04:50] <adamonline46> flaccid: Lol, I'm starting to remember how bad I was failing the first time I tried this, haha... I just couldn't find layman's instructions for it 8)
[04:51] <flaccid> um no domain-name-servers should be what we talked about before and  option broadcast-address <IP_ADDRESS>; and option routers <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:55] <adamonline46> flaccid: Alright, last question... Do you know what unit of measure is used in the time offset, and what it's offset from?  Or, even, just what Pacific Standard Time would be?
[04:56] <flaccid> hmm good question, how many hours in front or behind gmt is that?
[04:56] <adamonline46> PST is GMT - 8
[04:59] <adamonline46> flaccid: Or, I can just ignore it ;)
[05:02] <flaccid> option time-offset -28800
[05:02] <flaccid> i think
[05:04] <adamonline46> flaccid: Alright, it's better than nothing :)  Okay, I tried starting the dhcp server, but it says 'No subnet declaration for restart (<IP_ADDRESS>) Please write a subnet declaration in dhcpd.conf for the network segment to which interface restart is attached'.  Any ideas?'
[05:04] <flaccid> pastebin the dhcpd.conf and i'll correct the syntax
[05:06] <adamonline46> flaccid: http://pastebin.ca/839716
[05:07] <adamonline46> Is that the right way to start the server?  I was in /etc and typed 'dhcpd start'
[05:09] <flaccid> nope, you had a couple of errors and that probably won't work
[05:09] <flaccid> use this: http://pastebin.ca/839720 and then do sudo /etc/init.d/dhcp restart
[05:09] <adamonline46> flaccid: Oh, damn... hehheh... Alright, enlighten me 8)
[05:13] <adamonline46> flaccid: Alright, it started!  I disabled the linksys dhcp, gonna try and renew my address :)
[05:13] <flaccid> adamonline46: you can do that by sudo dhclient eth0
[05:14] <flaccid> on the client machine eth0 being the interface
[05:14] <flaccid> actually thats probably not best. best to do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[05:14] <flaccid> as dhclient will be sleeping in memory already
[05:14] <adamonline46> Oh yeah?  Alright... Well, I got one from dhclient
[05:14] <flaccid> yep will work still ok
[05:15] <flaccid> then you can check ifconfig and /etc/resolf.conf and netstat -r
[05:15] <adamonline46> Oh okay, I just did the networking restart 8)
[05:15] <flaccid> i mean /etc/resolv.conf
[05:17] <adamonline46> flaccid: resolv.conf says 'search llamanet.org \n nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:17] <flaccid> appears to be working fine if you can do both dns lookup and browser a site or whatever
[05:18] <Alonea> does ark have a problem with rar files that are in parts?
[05:18] <Alonea> !rar
[05:18] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[05:18] <homercycles> is there a way to keep NTFS partitions mounted? I have ntfs3g and ntfs-config installed but my C: drive isn't mounted on boot and I have to mount it as root all the time
[05:19] <flaccid> !ntfs | homercycles
[05:19] <ubotu> homercycles: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE
[05:19] <adamonline46> flaccid: Yes, I can DNS lookup fine from within Firefox :D  Thanks a ton!
[05:19] <homercycles> thanks flaccid
[05:20] <flaccid> np
[05:21] <adamonline46> flaccid: Haha, weird... I did 'dhclient' on the dhcpd machine, and it got bound to a different IP; but when I re-dhcliented from my other machine, it still got its IP from the original dhcpd machine's IP :)
[05:22] <flaccid> ah yeah, you don't want to run dhclient on the the server, that sets it to dynamicac
[05:22] <flaccid> you leave that as is as static. running dhclient manual does not check /etc/network/intefaces it just runs it direct on the specified interface
[05:23] <adamonline46> flaccid: Crud.  What should I do to fix that?  As far as I know my interfaces file has been dhcp the whole time...
[05:23] <flaccid> you said you ran it on the server which should be static..
[05:24] <flaccid> so to restore what you had in /etc/network/interfaces you do sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
[05:24] <adamonline46> flaccid: Yes, but I don't know how to make it static
[05:24] <flaccid> goto manual configuration from knetworkmanager or edit /etc/network/interfaces
[05:24] <adamonline46> manual please :)
[05:24] <adamonline46> server has xfce on it
[05:25] <adamonline46> Actually, doing 'networking restart' says 'ignoring unknown interface eth1', which is my main interface
[05:25] <flaccid> adamonline46:  here is an example of setting one interface in interfaces: http://pastebin.ca/839735
[05:25] <flaccid> check /etc/network/interfaces..
[05:27] <adamonline46> flaccid: Ahh, that worked!  nice :)
[05:27] <flaccid> is everything fixed now adamonline46?
[05:27] <adamonline46> Now it's static! How nice :D
[05:27] <adamonline46> Well, I don't think Samba is...
[05:27] <yurimxpxman> how can I remove each path name listed in a file? (specifically, I'm using the `find` command with grep to get the list of files..)
[05:28] <defmer> hi everyone
[05:28] <flaccid> ok well im off to play et
[05:28] <defmer> need to knwo if anyone seen this problem
[05:28] <ScottG> defmer: which is that?
[05:28] <flaccid> poverty, defmer?
[05:28] <adamonline46> flaccid: In fact, running 'smbtree' says it can't fonnect to any of teh drives, and says 'at <external IP>'
[05:29] <defmer> when I open the syste->preferences->appearance
[05:29] <flaccid> adamonline46: pastebin smbtree then
[05:29] <adamonline46> flaccid: But, I'll save that for later!  Thanks a lot, I'm sure happy to have some static IPs :)
[05:29] <adamonline46> flaccid: Well, if you don't mind
[05:29] <flaccid> ok
[05:29] <defmer> non of the tabs work. all i can do is close and open the window
[05:30] <defmer> well anyone?????????
[05:31] <flaccid> defmer: appears not
[05:31] <adamonline46> flaccid: http://pastebin.ca/839745
[05:31] <defmer> thanks for the thought. wish you all a grt new year
[05:32] <flaccid> adamonline46: what ip is this <IP_ADDRESS> ?
[05:32] <adamonline46> flaccid: <IP_ADDRESS> is my WAN IP
[05:32] <flaccid> wtf is it trying that for each, weird
[05:32] <adamonline46> yeah, totally...
[05:33] <adamonline46> oooh you know what?
[05:33] <flaccid> are the ips on these clients set to the local subnet?
[05:33] <adamonline46> www.llamanet.org is the URL I use to access that
[05:33] <flaccid> what do you mean
[05:33] <adamonline46> maybe I should make the option domain name set to something other than that URL
[05:34] <adamonline46> if you think that could be it...
[05:34] <flaccid> um this is samba, not dhcp or dns. its actually netBT
[05:34] <adamonline46> Oh okay
[05:34] <flaccid> which box is HUCK ?
[05:34] <adamonline46> Huck is the laptop with the Samba issues
[05:34] <flaccid> is there the one you ran the command on?
[05:34] <adamonline46> But he used to smbtree just fine, even with the samba issues
[05:34] <flaccid> there=this
[05:35] <adamonline46> flaccid: Yes
[05:35] <flaccid> right and so ralph lyle etc. are ok in smb ?
[05:35] <flaccid> from client perspective
[05:35] <adamonline46> Well, I'll be!  It seems so
[05:36] <flaccid> ok
[05:36] <flaccid> have you run sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart on HUCK ?
[05:36] <adamonline46> but, this is a new behavior for Huck, since the new dhcp...
[05:36] <adamonline46> yes, to get a new IP to test the dhcp
[05:36] <flaccid> lets not assume, lets fine the issue instead
[05:37] <flaccid> ok what is result of this command host ralph and also ping ralph from huck
[05:38] <flaccid> also result of arp -a on huck as well please
[05:38] <adamonline46> interesting, ping works as expected (my hosts file is not configured on Huck yet, so I'm using IPs for these)
[05:38] <flaccid> um thats not what i asked
[05:39] <flaccid> NetBT works on hostnames via broadcast
[05:39] <flaccid> you need to host ralph and ping ralph
[05:39] <flaccid> not the ip
[05:39] <flaccid> this is netBt resolution..
[05:39] <adamonline46> oh okay, host ralph returns ralph.llamanet.org has address 24.4.4189.21
[05:39] <adamonline46> ping ralph still works fine
[05:40] <adamonline46> that's kind of unnerving; it seems to be accessable from the internet or something?
[05:40] <flaccid> nah its appending dns suffix now
[05:40] <flaccid> which is not resolvable by dns
[05:40] <flaccid> the dnslookup is preceding nmblookup
[05:41] <adamonline46> arp -a: ? (<IP_ADDRESS>) at 00:xx:xx:x;X:;X: [ether] on eth0 \n ? (<IP_ADDRESS>) at 00:04:xx:xx:xx [ether] on eth 0
[05:41] <flaccid> wierd how you don't get this on the other machines. quick fix is to stop using the domain name directive with dhcp or make those resolvable
[05:41] <flaccid> yeah thats ok for arp
[05:42] <adamonline46> Make them resolvable, locally or at the dhcp server?
[05:42] <flaccid> if you really do only have this problem on this machine, you could put ralph, lyle etc. in huck's host file
[05:42] <adamonline46> Oh yeah?
[05:42] <adamonline46> Alright, I'll give that a shot
[05:42] <flaccid> resolvable by creating your own dns server or in /etc/hosts on the client machine
[05:43] <adamonline46> I swear I just changed something that had an order of resolutions in it
[05:43] <flaccid> yeah im looking for that file now
[05:43] <flaccid> i can't remember its name on linux
[05:43] <adamonline46> I think it was in smb.conf, dunno if that's important
[05:43] <adamonline46> no wait
[05:44] <adamonline46> something like innsometh.conf...
[05:45] <flaccid> hmm thats not it
[05:45] <flaccid> adamonline46: /etc/nsswitch.conf
[05:45] <adamonline46> that's it
[05:45] <flaccid> this might help http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-391601.html
[05:45] <flaccid> i think you want at least file wins first then the dns stuff last
[05:46] <adamonline46> Yeah, I have files lmhosts wins dns winbind on Huck
[05:46] <sakthian> what are the procedure to install *.tar.gz file in kubuntu
[05:47] <flaccid> sakthian: depends what it is
[05:47] <flaccid> adamonline46: um just make dns last then restart networking and also samba on that machine then try the smbtree again i guess
[05:47] <flaccid> might fix the problem without any manual hosts
[05:49]  * flaccid drinks guiness
[05:50] <adamonline46> flaccid: I swapped my stock one back in, which has files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4
[05:50] <flaccid> i guess only 7 hours till jan 1st here in sydney
[05:50] <flaccid> im not familiar with those but sweet try it it looks like microsoft dns which is netbt bla
[05:50] <adamonline46> restarted networking and samba..., and same problem
[05:50] <sakthian> sorry that file is with .deb exten
[05:50] <sakthian> skype-debian_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_i386.deb
[05:50] <flaccid> could be stuck in arp cache but adamonline46
[05:51] <flaccid> one second adamonline46
[05:51] <flaccid> adamonline46: is this a gutsy box?
[05:51] <adamonline46> flaccid: Yes, it is
[05:51] <flaccid> sakthian: do you want to install via cli?
[05:51]  * adamonline46 sips a fat tire
[05:51] <sakthian> pls tell some procedure to install skype-debian_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_i386.deb in kubuntu
[05:51] <Hirvinen> !skype
[05:51] <sakthian> i cant get u,
[05:52] <sakthian> what is that cli
[05:52] <flaccid> adamonline46: whats the networks: value in there
[05:52] <adamonline46> sakthian: I'm not certain, but if you've downloaded hte package, try 'dpkg'
[05:52] <ubotu> To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[05:52] <flaccid> sakthian: sudo dpkg -l package.db
[05:52] <adamonline46> flaccid: networks: files
[05:52] <flaccid> !skype | sakthian
[05:52] <ubotu> sakthian: please see above
[05:52] <flaccid> oops
[05:53] <flaccid> adamonline46: please try this for hosts: ..    hosts:          mdns files dns
[05:53] <flaccid> make sure you have no extra hosts in /etc/hosts then restart computer and see. this will ensure all caches are cleared and force re-election - i can't remember all the commands sorry
[05:54] <flaccid> adamonline46: i'll wait if you want
[05:54] <sakthian> if i use sudo then error comming as No packages found matching skype-debian_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_i386.deb.
[05:55] <adamonline46> is it normal to have <IP_ADDRESS> localhost AND <IP_ADDRESS> huck ?  Also I commented out all the ipvs stuff...
[05:55] <adamonline46> er, ipv6*
[05:55] <flaccid> sakthian: you have to be in the dir where the package. but if you read the above article, you don't need to use dpkg at all
[05:55] <flaccid> adamonline46: thats fine, leave the ipv6 stuff in
[05:56] <flaccid> sakthian: a sudo apt-get install skype after enabling the repos is fine
[05:57] <adamonline46> flaccid: Alright, restarting :)
[05:57] <flaccid> cool
[05:59] <adamonline46> Alright, I'm back in... Should I do anything besides go straight to smbtree?
[05:59] <adamonline46> er, flaccid ^^
[05:59] <flaccid> nah lets what that says
[06:00] <flaccid> also note that if this doesn't work you can still access them in kde using the ip like smb://<IP_ADDRESS>
[06:00] <flaccid> until you apply a fix as discussed, but maybe it will work heh
[06:01] <adamonline46> flaccid: Yeah, it's still broken...
[06:01] <flaccid> adamonline46: and you are sure the same thing does not happen on the other machines?
[06:01] <flaccid> ie. you can do host huck and it returns internal ip?
[06:01] <cptR3D> !java
[06:01] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) or earlier.
[06:02] <adamonline46> smbtree works nicely from the rest, yes, lemme try 'host huck'
[06:02] <flaccid> do a host -v huck and pastebin the result for me please
[06:02] <sakthian> by using this "sudo apt-get install skype" i cant able to install
[06:02] <flaccid> actually that should fail, but obviously with smb its lookin up via mdns on those boxes...
[06:02] <flaccid> sakthian: what does it return. you have to enable the repos first
[06:03] <flaccid> sakthian: try reading the guide we posted
[06:03] <cptR3D> !multiverse
[06:03] <ubotu> The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[06:03] <flaccid> ah the wiki is outdated for skype sorry sakthian
[06:03] <flaccid> !info skype
[06:03] <ubotu> Package skype does not exist in gutsy
[06:05] <flaccid> sakthian: it required medibuntu, please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype#head-a478d059cdacf2ecd6f2acf44e222b9df022581b
[06:06] <adamonline46> flaccid: http://pastebin.ca/839774
[06:06] <flaccid> sakthian: you could install manual like you did, you just need to be in the directory where the package is in konsole, then do dpkg -i ./skype-debian_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_i386.deb
[06:06] <flaccid> sakthian: sorry sudo  dpkg -i ./skype-debian_<IP_ADDRESS>-1_i386.deb
[06:07] <flaccid> adamonline46: did you restart networking with that machine, because its not trying your domain given from dhcpd. i would comment out the domain name option in dhcpd.conf and the restart dhcpd and renew on the client machine that has the problem, see if it fixes it without hosts
[06:09] <flaccid> actually i got a feeling it might check smb.conf as client for resolve order hmm
[06:11] <adamonline46> flaccid: Alright, I've got something weird happening now on the dhcp server
[06:13] <adamonline46> I removed the subnet name, and it won't start, saying 'No subnet declaration for eth0 (<IP_ADDRESS>) <~~ What is THAT?! heheh...
[06:13] <sakthian> i got this error:dpkg: status database area is locked by another process
[06:13] <flaccid> adamonline46: you were not meant to remove subnet, only domain name
[06:13] <flaccid> !adeptfix | sakthian
[06:13] <ubotu> sakthian: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a »
[06:14] <adamonline46> flaccid: oops, that's for you ^^... Also, now when I do ifconfig, I see an extra 'device' listed, eth0:avah, with that same inet address listed
[06:14] <flaccid> adamonline46:  thats avahi daemon which is ok
[06:15] <sakthian> then
[06:16] <adamonline46> flaccid: Also, eth1 is what I've been on the whole tiem... And syslog says eth1 had lost its link for a moment there; dhcpd still doesn't sstart tho...
[06:17] <flaccid> link means that the iface went up and down for a second or cable unplugged, check your syntax for dhcpd.conf or show me
[06:17] <sakthian> im using amd 64 system but so pls give some instruction accordin to that
[06:17] <vit_> hola alguien sabe donde puedo bajar un manual para kubuntu?
[06:18] <flaccid> i think we already did sakthian but i'll check
[06:20] <flaccid> hooray for my isp
[06:21] <adamonline46> http://pastebin.ca/839793
[06:21] <adamonline46> flaccid: It's the same, but with domain name comented out
[06:22] <flaccid> and what does sudo /etc/init.d/dhcpd restart return?
[06:23] <flaccid> i mean /etc/init.d/dhcp restart
[06:24] <adamonline46> It tells me check the syslog, and wants me to wite a subnet declaration for the subnet where eth0 is attached...
[06:24] <adamonline46> I think my NIC's tweaking out, syslog shows a bunch of connects/disconnects
[06:24] <flaccid> sounds a bit hectic, that syntax is fine yeah..
[06:25] <adamonline46> let me get eth0 plugged in and start using that
[06:25] <flaccid> and dhcpd.conf does not define anything interface wise
[06:25] <adamonline46> eth1 is an e1000, but only one cable I have even makes it show as linked
[06:25] <flaccid> hmm possible that explains that other glitch if a packet didn't get through somewhere
[06:26] <flaccid> but unlikely
[06:28] <adamonline46> flaccid: Alright, eth0 is up, eth 1 is down; more reliable connection... dhcp restared... lemme request an IP from huck
[06:28] <flaccid> fair enough
[06:29] <adamonline46> flaccid: There, huck renewed nicely 8)
[06:29] <flaccid> ok samba check i guess now
[06:29] <adamonline46> From huck, smbtree shows all the machines, but none are connectable; same issue
[06:30] <adamonline46> * that's with the domain-name option commented out
[06:30] <flaccid> adamonline46: pastebin /etc/resolv.conf on the client
[06:33] <adamonline46> It simply has two lines, "search llamanet.org", and "nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>"
[06:34] <adamonline46> flaccid: Well, I added Jesus and Eunice to Hucks hosts, and smbtree works with those now...
[06:35] <adamonline46> still flaws on hosts who aren't specified in /etc/hosts, though
[06:35] <Dr_willis> Hmm.. what interesting names you have for your machines...
[06:35] <adamonline46> Dr_willis: haha, thanks 8)
[06:36] <Dr_willis> I just call mine 'Laptop' or "P900" or "Cow" (thats the gateway machine)
[06:36] <Dr_willis> or "Oldjunk"
[06:38] <adamonline46> Dr_willis: haha!  nice :)  Well, I kind of did the same... I mean, i labored over the names, and each one represents their mechanical counterpart... Eunice is an old PII, Huck's a Macbook, Ralph... Well, that was my first, and he just got a 'buddy' name... And Jesus used to be called God, but he's kind of been slowly going obsolete, so I had to downgrade the name...
[06:39] <adamonline46> flaccid: Did you copy that /etc/resolv.conf, even though I didn't pastebin it?
[06:39] <Dr_willis> well night all.
[06:39] <flaccid> adamonline46: yeah thats problem. netbt lookup should be preceeding dns but yeah i'd just go with that fix for that one machine
[06:39] <flaccid> well if all is good now then that will do heh :p
[06:42] <adamonline46> Hmm
[06:42] <adamonline46> well, I won't complain about using CLI samba; the gui forms still don't work...
[06:43] <flaccid> what are gui forms
[06:44] <flaccid> oh in kde, yeah i've given up on that kind of stuff. kubuntu is far behind a good samba implementation
[06:44] <adamonline46> flaccid: er, I mean GUI applications; forms as in entities...
[06:44] <flaccid> SWAT is far better... it actually works!
[06:44] <adamonline46> hehheh
[06:44] <yurimxpxman> what does "bye offset" mean?
[06:44] <adamonline46> web-based, eh?
[06:44] <adamonline46> 'byte ofset'?
[06:46] <flaccid> well im going to play et now
[06:46] <adamonline46> flaccid: Alright, I'll look into SWAT... What's et?
[06:47] <adamonline46> flaccid: And, thank you so very much for all your help!  I really appreciate it!  It makes the 3 days of no responses worth it 8)
[06:48] <flaccid> wolfenstein: enemy territory
[06:48] <adamonline46> er, "3 days of struggling with the problem" is more appropriate
[06:48] <adamonline46> flaccid: Ahh, got it.  Alright, well, have fun! Good night 8)
[06:48] <flaccid> adamonline46: no problem adamonline46, appreciate your kind words. i guess im one of the more active helpers heh
[06:49] <flaccid> happy ny heh
[06:49] <adamonline46> flaccid: Indeed!   Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT.

[07:50] <okto> anyone knows about a bug in amarok lyrics? if you manually edit lyrics, it won't refresh back
[07:51] <dangaio> hello.  I installed kubuntu on my laptop.  When I go to the virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+F1) my font size are very large.  How can I change that?
[07:54] <ubuzztu> is it possible to boot kubuntu from a usb drive?
[07:54] <unix_infidel> ubuzztu: yes, it's even possible to have your own portable virtual ubuntu installation.
[07:55] <unix_infidel> but for flash drives, reading and writing a lot minimizes the life of the flash drive.
[07:55] <ubuzztu> wubi?
[07:55] <unix_infidel> so it's not recommended unless it's an emergency boot.
[07:56] <okto> anyone?
[07:56] <unix_infidel> psh, who needs amarok when you have mesk or even find + mplayer :-)
[07:58] <dangaio> When I go to the virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+F1) my font size are very large.  It was fine with Feisty.  I had the vga statement in my grub menu.lst file but now, if I put it in there, it won't show any fonts...
[07:58] <okto> but amrok offer lyrics, covers and stuff
[07:59] <unix_infidel> dangaio: yea, linux is hit and miss like that.
[08:00] <dangaio> unix_infidel: is there any way to fix this?
[08:01] <okto> dangaio: i have the same problem, it was a bug in gutsy, you can find teh thread in ubuntu launchpad
[08:01] <monteslu> use console in X :)
[08:01] <unix_infidel> dangaio: what vga number did you throw in?
[08:01] <unix_infidel> before the "ro" flag?
[08:02] <dangaio> vga=0x317
[08:02] <unix_infidel> dangaio: resolution on the screen?
[08:02] <dangaio> 1280x800
[08:03] <unix_infidel> depth?
[08:03] <unix_infidel> 16 24 bit?
[08:03] <dangaio> 24 bit
[08:03] <unix_infidel> try 788
[08:03] <unix_infidel> vga=788 ro blah blah.
[08:04] <dangaio> Ok, I will try.
[08:04] <dangaio> It will mean that I have to reboot.
[08:04] <dangaio> brb.
[08:08] <dangaio> unix_infidel, I try to go to the virtual terminal now (ctrl+alt+F1) and nothing, just a blinking cursor.

[08:17] <Zombocom> vThe VirtualBox kernel driver is not accessible to the current user. Make sure that the user has write permissions for /dev/vboxdrv by adding them to the vboxusers groups. You will need to logout for the change to take effect..
[08:17] <Zombocom> do I fix that
[08:17] <Zombocom> wait
[08:17] <Zombocom> I'm going to try something

[08:19] <jtmoney> okay, go to konsole

[08:19] <jtmoney> and locate groups
[08:19] <jtmoney> to see which file it is that you need to modify
[08:20] <Zombocom> I think it's /etc/group
[08:20] <jtmoney> yeah, that's it
[08:20] <Zombocom> thanks
[08:21] <jtmoney> you'll probably have to log out for it to take effect
[08:21] <Zombocom> yeah
[08:21] <Zombocom> it says that in the error message

[13:07] <velh0> i'm installing kubuntu 7.10 in my father's desktop, and it says there's a new version... is that true? i thought the last one was 7.10
[13:11] <Bruno> !flash
[13:11] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[13:11] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[13:15] <velh0> i have a problem. a 500 GB disc refuses to mount in a fresh installed Kubuntu 7.10. how do i mount the disc?
[13:17] <velh0> any help please??
[13:17] <nuxil> velh0, sudo moun /dev/hdXY or sdXY /path
[13:17] <nuxil> *mount'
[13:21] <velh0> nuxil: what it's the real correct line?
[13:23] <nuxil> velh0, depends what your disk is,, ide or sata/scsi
[13:23] <velh0> the name of the disc is sdb1
[13:23] <nuxil> example
[13:23] <nuxil> sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1
[13:23] <velh0> so          sudo moun /dev/sdb1/path  ?
[13:23] <velh0> ok
[13:24] <ze_> hello nuxil
[13:25] <ze_> nuxil i'm velh0, but i'm in the computer that doesn't mount the 500gb sata disc
[13:25] <nuxil> ze_, what error?
[13:26] <ze_> nuxil
[13:26] <ze_> nuxil http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50252/
[13:27] <nuxil> ze_, ntfs ?
[13:28] <ze_> nuxil: yep
[13:28] <nuxil> ok
[13:28] <ze_> nuxil: but other ntfs discs are recognized
[13:28] <nuxil> you should use ntfs-3g
[13:29] <nuxil> sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
[13:29] <nuxil> sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 "-o force"
[13:30] <nuxil> "-o force" you can force with if it complains
[13:31] <ze_> nuxil: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50254/  :(
[13:31] <nuxil> no no dont use  " "
[13:32] <nuxil> sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1-o force
[13:32] <nuxil> you get it.. without the " "
[13:33] <ze_> nuxil: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50255/     =S ...?
[13:33] <nuxil> ze_, is the partition a dynamiclty one?
[13:33] <nuxil> erm sry for bad englsih
[13:33] <nuxil>  -o force << you missed a space
[13:34] <nuxil>  /sdb1 -o force
[13:34] <ze_> nuxil lol ok
[13:34] <nuxil> also check that /media/sdb1 is created " the dir"
[13:34] <ze_> FUSE mount point creation failed
[13:34] <ze_> Unmounting /dev/sdb1 (PBELL_Sprint)
[13:35] <nuxil> ze_, strange..
[13:36] <ze_> nuxil> /media/sdb1 doesn't exist!
[13:36] <nuxil> make it
[13:36] <nuxil> sudo mkdir /media/sdb1
[13:36] <nuxil> then try again.
[13:36] <ze_> nuxil> done
[13:37] <ze_> with   sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 -o force?
[13:37] <nuxil> yeas
[13:37] <ze_> nothing appears so i guess everything is fine...
[13:37] <ze_> an now?
[13:37] <nuxil> df
[13:37] <nuxil> to check
[13:37] <ze_> df?
[13:38] <nuxil> yes

[14:22] <xushi> i'm installing kubuntu on my pavilion dv9000. It has nvidia Geforce 8600M GS graphics card in it. I'm confused to which nvidia drivers i should install.. The normal one, or the "new" one>
[14:26] <Juukamen> my guess, the new one

[14:30] <RickX> anyone know how to remove a style in kde?
[14:35] <oreoandnapoleon> hello kubuntu - James here in the UK
[14:36] <ubuntu> Salut =)
[14:36] <oreoandnapoleon> how is everyone this NYE?
[14:38] <oreoandnapoleon> does anyone else have problems with an older PC and not being able to power off correctly with kubuntu?
[14:39] <oreoandnapoleon> I think it's something to do with ACPI
[14:41] <pteague_work> anybody know why i'm getting the error message "ifdown: interface eth1 not configured" when i try to disconnect my wireless network?
[14:42] <oreoandnapoleon> are you disconnecting your computer from the wireless network or disconnecting through the wireless network interface on another machine?
[14:44] <oreoandnapoleon> thanks guys. I'll see you later
[14:53] <velh0> how many GB of ram Kubuntu recognizes?
[14:53] <velh0> how many GB of ram can Kubuntu recognize (i mean)?
[14:54] <bazhang> depends on 32bit or 64bit
[14:55] <velh0> bazhang: so, for 32 bit how much and for 64 bit how much?
[14:55] <bazhang> velh0: how much do you have?
[14:56] <velh0> bazhang: 2GB
[14:56] <velh0> bazhang: i what to know how much CAN i have :)
[14:57] <bazhang> velh0: then 32bit is fine; if you have more than 3GB iirc then 64 bit
[14:57] <MPS> velh0: do u have a 32 or 64bit processor?
[14:57] <pag> velh0 32bit recognises 2^32 adresses ( ~4GB ) and 64bit: 2^64 ( ~32 EB )
[14:57] <MPS> bazhang: not 4GiB?
[14:58] <bazhang> MPS: do you want me to google it? :}
[14:58] <MPS> bazhang: nah. pag also thinks ~4GB :)
[14:58] <velh0> bazhang: it's a core 2 duo, so i think its 64 bit. but i'm using kubuntu 32 bit, i don't now it 64bit it's a good choice
[14:59] <bazhang> 64bit has no real value outside of being 'kewl'

[14:59] <velh0> bazhang: i'm sorry i didn't understand
[14:59] <velh0> bazhang: 'kewl'?
[15:00] <bazhang> let me rephrase...64bit has no real value at this point in time
[15:02] <velh0> bazhang: why? isn't it faster?
[15:02] <pag> velh0, you won't notice much difference in everyday use
[15:02] <nuxil> actualt. a 32 bit system supports  64GB and 64 system 128 GB mem
[15:02] <bazhang> velh0: depends what you use it for
[15:03] <bazhang> wow
[15:03] <gatta> salve, posso entrare
[15:03] <bazhang> spanish gatta?
[15:04] <velh0> gatta: espanhol?
[15:04] <Jucato> bazhang: italian actually. but he's gone
[15:04] <bazhang> cheers Jucato
[15:04] <Jucato> happy new year :)
[15:04] <Sanne> bazhang: well... one advantage would be: the more people use 64bit now, the sooner it will be fully supported. There are people who do benefit from 64bit, and for those better overall support would be nice.
[15:05] <bazhang> Sanne: in full agreement there :}
[15:05] <Sanne> :)
[15:05] <velh0> nuxil: i thought that depends in operative system. so any 64 bit OS supports 128GB of ram?
[15:05] <nuxil> velh0, a linux kernel :) dunno about windows
[15:06] <bazhang> thanks Jucato! and Happy New Year to you all the kubuntu'ers! so far so great!
[15:06] <warren_> hi
[15:06] <velh0> nuxil: vista 64bit recognize 128GB, at least in theory... :S
[15:06] <warren_> when i insert a installation cd of a game kde mounts it as a audio cd
[15:06] <warren_> how do i mount it as normal cd?

[15:13] <InCaPaCe> hi, i tired to install a plugin for xmms but when i do ./configure it gives me an error... configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***   so i installed glib but it doesn't work.. can you help me? (sorry for my english)
[15:14] <InCaPaCe> *tried
[15:14] <Sanne> InCaPaCe: can't you install the plugin from the repositories? Which one is it?
[15:14] <nuxil> you need to install the glib dev pak if you are compiling
[15:15] <BluesKaj> Happy New Year All ! and howdy :-)
[15:15] <InCaPaCe> the glib dev pak ..
[15:15] <Sanne> InCaPaCe: what is the name of the xmms plugin?
[15:16] <InCaPaCe> singit
[15:16] <ze_> nuxil, remember me? i can't acess the 500gb again... :(
[15:16] <nuxil> lol.. what did you do now?
[15:16] <ze_> nuxil i just restarted kubuntu...
[15:17] <Sanne> InCaPaCe: install package xmms-singit with adept, synaptic, or from the command line with: sudo apt-get install xmms-singit
[15:17] <nuxil> ze_, sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media -o force
[15:17] <nuxil> -> /media/sdb1
[15:17] <InCaPaCe> Sanne: everytime that i must compile something it gives me the same error
[15:18] <InCaPaCe> not only for this plugin
[15:18] <ze_> nuxil it ok now :)
[15:18] <nuxil> InCaPaCe, you are missing dev packages..
[15:18] <nuxil> ze_, try to remember the command :P
[15:18] <ze_> nuxil> but do i have to do this EVERYTIME i start kubuntu?
[15:19] <nuxil> ze_, no nessesary
[15:19] <nuxil> ze_, edit your fstab
[15:19] <ze_> nuxil: how?
[15:19] <Sanne> InCaPaCe: you should install from the repositories if the package exists. If you *must* compile, you need to install the development files for the library configure complains about, usually named lib<libname>-dev
[15:19] <InCaPaCe> mm
[15:19] <nuxil> ze_,  kdesu kate /etc/fstab
[15:19] <InCaPaCe> ok i try with apt-cache search
[15:20] <Sanne> InCaPaCe: for xmms-singit, you just need to enable the universe repository and do what I said. You can read about repositories here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
[15:20] <InCaPaCe> thx
[15:20] <Sanne> you're welcome :)
[15:20] <ze_> nuxil: wow! :| what shoulkd i do? now?
[15:22] <nuxil> /dev/sdb1        /media/sdb1  ntfs-3g   defaults 0       0
[15:22] <nuxil> put that inn
[15:22] <nuxil> you might want to add ,umask=007,gid=46
[15:24] <ze_> nuxil: should i enter those 2 lines in the bottom of fstab?
[15:25] <nuxil> ze_, paste you fstab to pasebin
[15:25] <nuxil> *pastebin
[15:26] <ze_> nuxil: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50266/
[15:29] <ze_> nuxil: what should i do?
[15:29] <InCaPaCe> nothing to do
[15:29] <nuxil> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50267/
[15:29] <nuxil> typo- > media/ssb1--> sdb1
[15:30] <InCaPaCe> i can't understand which dev package i need..
[15:30] <ze_> nuxil: yeah i noticed that ;)
[15:30] <nuxil> anyway.. i have to go eat dinner :D
[15:31] <InCaPaCe> dinner ? at 4.30? :S
[15:32] <nuxil> no.. 1700.. but i have to go to my fokes to eat.
[15:32] <ze_> maybe he's from another country ;)
[15:32] <ze_> nuxil: should it work fine now?
[15:33] <ze_> nuxil: if dont' i still can do     sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sdb1 /media -o force[15:17] <nuxil> -> /media/sdb1             right?
[15:33] <nuxil> i thibk so.. if not.. ther is only minor changes
[15:33] <BluesKaj> mostly everyone here is from different countries
[15:33] <nuxil> ze_, yes you can do that
[15:34] <ze_> nuxil: thank you so much for your time, my friend
[15:34] <ze_> nuxil: have a GREAT 15:34 dinner ;)
[15:35] <karthikp_> Question: Why are images garbled up on akgregator?
[15:36] <karthikp_> If there's a feed linking directly to an image, all I get is a screen full of unicode.
[15:36] <BluesKaj> karthikp_, which images ?
[15:36] <karthikp_> jpegs mostly, I'd say.
[15:36] <karthikp_> (I think)
[15:36] <BluesKaj> got a URL ?
[15:37] <ze_> these Kubuntu aplets open all my folders with Dolphin. How can i make them open only with Konqueror?
[15:37] <karthikp_> Sure. Try the reddit feed
[15:37] <bmack> im trying to get my ati radeon 2600 hd vid card driver installed correctly. when i go into restricted drivers and enable the ati accel driver. after i boot up it gives me a error at startup about xorg.conf
[15:37] <karthikp_> http://reddit.com/.rss
[15:37] <bmack> so i have to edit fglrx back to vesa for me to boot up
[15:37] <bmack> http://pastebin.ca/840168
[15:37] <bmack> copy of my xorg.conf
[15:38] <karthikp_> So, there are stories that link director to pics - marked as (pic)
[15:38] <karthikp_> directly
[15:38] <karthikp_> And these images fill the screen with unicode.
[15:38] <karthikp_> At least that's what I think it is...
[15:38] <BluesKaj> ze_, Open Konqueror>Settings>Configure Konqueror>File Associations>Inode>System Directory>Application Prefernce Order , move Konqueror to the top , click apply and ok
[15:39] <ze_> BluesKaj: beautifull! thank you so so much
[15:40] <ze_> BluesKaj: ho-ow, not done yet
[15:41] <Daisuke-Ido> so no 8.04 LTS for kubuntu, eh?
[15:41] <karthikp_> Aw. I should have never posted the reddit feed. Stop reading the feed and focus, people! :)
[15:41] <ze_> BluesKaj: the applet "System Menu" (i think that's the name in english) stills open Dolphin as default :(
[15:44] <karthikp> Any thoughts on Akgregator messing up pic-only links, then? Anyone?
[15:44] <nnaushahi> i got labtec web cam... i m not able to see ? any fix
[15:45] <BluesKaj> ze_, not sure but you may have to relogin
[15:45] <ze_> BluesKaj: key, see ya ;)
[15:48] <comx> Hey, I've got a question about flash player. I know theres not a PowerPC version so what would I use and how do I install it?
[15:49] <ze_> BluesKaj : System Menu still opens only in Dolphin :(
[15:49] <nosrednaekim> Daisuke-Ido: wow... finally got the news?
[15:50] <ze_> BluesKaj : maybe it's a dolphin applet (?)
[15:51] <rothchild> ze_ why don;t you just uninstall dolphin?
[15:51] <BluesKaj> ze_, try it again , but sconfigure the konqueror system profile , then save it
[15:51] <nosrednaekim> comx: I don't know about PPC....do x86 CHROOTs work with PPC
[15:53] <comx> nosrednaekim: I think so...
[15:53] <BluesKaj> ze_, naturally dolphin will open if you click on the icon , just edit the kmenu in kcontrol and delete it from the list , then save
[15:55] <thadir> Good day all :) and for evry one in the more western continents Happy new year :)
[15:55] <karthikp_> Eastern
[15:56] <karthikp_> Westerns are the slowpokes
[15:56] <karthikp_> :P
[15:56] <ze_> BluesKaj: but i'm not opening dolphin. i'm not clicking in dolphin icon. i'm just using a KDE applet to easy acess my home folder, devides, etc, and i want to open them in Konqueror. I'm using an applet, not kmenu
[15:56] <nosrednaekim> comx: then that is what you will probably have to do.,.. x86 firefox in a Chroot
[15:57] <thadir> also good :). Hey a general question. I had some problems with me KDE X11 Mouse themes. Afther I installed one the whole mouse function kept crashing I reinstalled the Kubuntu seeing i didnt do eny thing special.. Eny one a idea what the couse could be?
[15:57] <BluesKaj> does /Home show in the system menu applet
[15:58] <ze_> BluesKaj: yes
[15:58] <ze_> BluesKaj: i think i must edit that applet, but i don't now how, there is no option
[15:59] <BluesKaj> ze_, you have to save the konquer file management profile in konq settings after making the change \
[15:59] <ze_> the changes are maded
[15:59] <ze_> BluesKaj: and they work well wen i'm opening a disc drive
[15:59] <Daisuke-Ido> nosrednaekim: i've been away for the past couple weeks or so, been swamped with holiday stuff and getting ready to go back to school
[16:00] <nosrednaekim> Daisuke-Ido: ah... then yeah... that seems the to be the way its going to be
[16:00] <ze_> BluesKaj: when i open a disc drive it opens Konqueror now, that it's fine now
[16:00] <ze_> BluesKaj: but the OTHER applet is opening Dolphin instead
[16:00] <BluesKaj> ze_, what about Home folder
[16:01] <ze_> BluesKaj: what about it? i'm sorry, didn't get the question...
[16:02] <BluesKaj> what opens the Home Folder , Konq or Dolphin ?
[16:02] <tomahaK> Pressing "Administrator Mode" button in Gutsy Kubuntu does NOTHING? Any idea?
[16:02] <ze_> BluesKaj: dolphin
[16:02] <ze_> BluesKaj: also the same with the recicle bin applet :(
[16:05] <ze_> BluesKaj: ey! working fine now!
[16:06] <BluesKaj> ze_, make sure all instances of dolphin are closed , do the konqueror instruction again and make sure you have only that konq open and no others , then in konq settings ,"configure view profiles" , choose the konq "file management" and save it .
[16:06] <ze_> BluesKaj: you mentioned Inode>System Directory, but you forgot to mention Inode>Directory also
[16:07] <ze_> BluesKaj: it's working fine now
[16:07] <ze_> BluesKaj: thank you VERY MUCH for the teaching :)
[16:07] <BluesKaj> inode system
[16:08] <BluesKaj> np :)
[16:08] <Dr_willis> Better then a sharp stick in the Inode!
[16:08] <Dr_willis> I hate it when a Dolphin gets a hold of my Inode!
[16:08] <Dr_willis> :P
[16:08]  * Dr_willis has had too much sugar today.
[16:09] <Dr_willis> what does the I in Inode stand for anyway?
[16:09] <BluesKaj> konq is a bitch to setup due to the number options
[16:09] <BluesKaj> \of
[16:11] <tomahaK> Boys... Any Idea: Administrator Mode buttons in "System Settings" on my Gutsy don't work. Known bug?
[16:11] <BluesKaj> Dr_willis,Inodes : http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/understanding-unixlinux-filesystem-inodes.html
[16:12] <Dr_willis> Ive heard others mention it befor tomahaK
[16:12] <BluesKaj> :) I'll be yer real interested too
[16:12] <tomahaK> where couldn't find anything on the web
[16:12] <Dr_willis> tomahaK,  heard people in here asking about them.
[16:13] <Dr_willis> they seem to be working for me just fine however
[16:13] <Dr_willis> you could try running the config tools with kdesu, or some other Sudo way
[16:15] <tomahaK> thanks Dr_willis
[16:16] <Dr_willis> I do have my system set up a bit insecure. :) my user dosent have to use his sudo password.
[16:16] <Dr_willis> You proberly dont want to try that.
[16:17] <BluesKaj> Dr_willis, sometimes the !adeptfix instruction commands work , but it takes a relogin
[16:25] <bazhang> happy new year to you all!
[16:27] <mani213> i have a problem with my packet manager
[16:27] <Mr_Sonoma> is there a reason that when i connect my flash drive it doesnt get automatically mounted in gutsy? seems like it used to in fiesty
[16:27] <mani213> when i download a file it says canot commit or something and an erorr has ocured
[16:27] <mani213> what sould i do to fix it?
[16:27] <bmack> how can i manually install the fglrx driver for ati?
[16:27] <bmack> besides useing restricted drivers
[16:28] <karthikp> Is there any reason ksysguard cannot display my GPU temperature (as shown by nvidia-settings)?
[16:29] <BluesKaj> bmack, you have to disable the restricted driver first , then install the new driver from the ati site if that's the one you want to use.
[16:29] <bmack> how do i disable the restriced driver
[16:29] <bmack> err
[16:29] <bmack> stupid question
[16:29] <BluesKaj> bmack , system settings/advanced
[16:30] <karthikp> Can I 'add' a sensor to the localhost in ksysguard so that it shows my GPU temperature?
[16:30] <BluesKaj> admin mode , bmack
[16:30] <karthikp> Or as a newbie, should I be vehemently discouraged from having such impure thoughts about my kubuntu install?
[16:31] <BluesKaj> GPU ?
[16:31] <karthikp> GeForce 6800
[16:31] <karthikp> (Nividia)
[16:31] <bmack> i get a error in xorg.conf at bootup saying there is no fglrx driver installed so i have to change it to vesa in xorg.conf so that means it isnt installed right
[16:31] <bmack> or its disabled
[16:32] <karthikp> (Nvidia, I mean)
[16:32] <BluesKaj> ok, it's always best to avoid initials and acronyms here, not all are gamerz or familiar with those phrases.
[16:33] <karthikp> Uh...GPU0 should theoretically be the sensor for the graphics card, right?
[16:33] <BluesKaj> bmack, was the restricted driver enabled when you were booting up ?
[16:33] <bmack> no
[16:33] <bmack> or yes
[16:33] <bmack> it was
[16:33] <karthikp> Just like CPU0 is for the sensor for the chip...
[16:34] <BluesKaj> well bmack , use admin mode and enable the restricted driver first before trying the ati proprietary driver
[16:34] <Cynnic> i've got a wireless networking problem with a default kubuntu 7.10 install, knetworkmanager won't load so i can set up WPA.. anyone here know where i can go for help?
[16:34] <karthikp> Okie. I quit.
[16:34] <bmack> how come my restricted drivers option is gone from system settings > advanced
[16:34] <BluesKaj> bmack, once you do that, reboot
[16:35] <BluesKaj> admin mode ?
[16:35] <BluesKaj> gone or just greyed out ?
[16:35] <bmack> DISABLED_MODULES="fglrx"
[16:36] <bmack> there is no restriced drivers option
[16:36] <BluesKaj> monitor &display /hardware ...what driver is listed ?
[16:37] <bmack> vesa
[16:37] <bmack> for both
[16:38] <camilla> Hello! happy New Year Cam someone help me with the external drive. I've tryed everything. Checked the disk in Windows.
[16:38] <bmack> i have ati radeon hd 2600
[16:40] <Dr_willis> camilla,  help ya with what.. and what exactly have you tried.
[16:41] <BluesKaj> bmack, open adept and in the searchbar type ' fglrx ' then look for the restricted driver in the list , prolly near the bottom
[16:42] <camilla> I tried with; ntfs, kdisc, gksu gparted
[16:42] <bmack> none are installed
[16:43] <BluesKaj> or better still choose the 'fglrx kernel source' and the 'xorg-driver-fglrx'
[16:44] <BluesKaj> bmack, also search for restricted driver , to see if you have one available for your card
[16:44] <Cynnic> can anyone point me to where i can find help with networkmanager?
[16:44] <camilla> and entered a mountingpoint and set it to ntfs write
[16:45] <bmack> ok
[16:45] <bmack> does this install the same driver from the ati site
[16:45] <camilla> I google and found some scrips but I' such a noob
[16:45] <camilla> I'm not sure how to enter them
[16:46] <BluesKaj> bmack, no , it will install the driver from the repositories, that hardware detection has determined will work with your card .
[16:46] <Dr_willis> camilla,  ok.. whats your fstab entry for the disk In question?
[16:46] <bmack> ok nothing for restricted
[16:46] <bmack> and i installed the other 2
[16:47] <camilla>  /dev/sdb1
[16:47] <bmack> is that it?
[16:47] <BluesKaj> bmack, ok reboot
[16:47] <bmack> ok
[16:47] <Dr_willis> camilla,  whats the whole fstab line then for that device
[16:47] <camilla> was that what you asked for?
[16:48] <camilla> Ok File system table
[16:49] <Dr_willis> - /etc/fstab line for the sdb1 device :)
[16:51] <bmack> in monitor settings it still says vesa for both
[16:53] <BluesKaj> bmack, look in sys/settings/advanced
[16:54] <BluesKaj> ok, gotta go push some snow for 30 mins or so , BBL.
[16:55] <camilla>  /dev/sdb1   ntfs-3g  /media/%2extern
[16:55]  * genii sips a coffee and thinks about not shovelling snow
[16:55] <camilla>  /dev/sdb1   ntfs-3g  /media/%2extern
[16:55] <Dr_willis> well why is there a %2 in there - is the first question....
[16:55] <genii> space
[16:55] <camilla> I'm not sure how to get the info. you need.
[16:55] <Dr_willis> Looks like the fstab entry is slightly wrong
[16:55] <camilla> %2 I dont know
[16:56] <Dr_willis> and in the wrong order
[16:56] <Dr_willis> /dev/hda5 /media/winstorage ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
[16:56] <genii> Dr_willis: I notice this is happening when System Settings area is used to define mounts, weird crap is inserted to the fstab
[16:57] <camilla> That was wath happened it was given to me, kinda of.'
[16:57] <Dr_willis> This is why i always edit mine manually. :)
[16:58] <Dr_willis> camilla,  i would do a 'sudo nano /etc/fstab' and fix the fstab line
[16:58] <Dr_willis> using mine as an example
[16:58] <camilla> I will know how to soon, me too..
[16:58] <Dr_willis> /dev/sdb1  /media/extern  ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
[16:58] <Dr_willis> i THINK would be your correct line.
[16:59] <Dr_willis> and the /media/extern dir MUST exist befor mounting
[16:59] <Dr_willis> You may want touse a better name then extern
[17:00] <camilla> Now what:-)
[17:00] <genii> camilla: Do you have more than 1 external storage you use? If so I recommend to use uuid instead of sda sdb or so on
[17:00] <camilla> Can I delet them now? And star over?
[17:02] <camilla> I'll try to paste the text, but the pastebin accuse me of spamming
[17:03] <camilla> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50275/
[17:05] <kyron> Ahoy, how does one `enable` "Restricted Drivers" using the console (attempting to install nvidia drivers...the wiki is brilliant enough to ASSume that we always have a GUI...especially for graphic driver installation O_o )
[17:06] <jhutchins> kyron: There should be someone around who can answer that one, be patient.
[17:06] <genii> camilla: Is this disk sdb1 or sdf1 ?
[17:06] <jhutchins> BluesKaj? Dr_willis?
[17:07] <kyron> jhutchins, hehe, thanks, that's why I am here ;)
[17:07] <camilla> I think it's both
[17:07] <camilla> I tried so many times
[17:08] <camilla> The disk is unmounted and removed now
[17:09] <genii> hmm
[17:10] <camilla> I reinstalled so many times now, I crashen one thing or the other. But now everything else I use to crash is stable. and I manages to make the external harddrive work before :_)
[17:10] <kyron> jhutchins, well...an alternative is to tell how to launch `System Settings` from the command line (remote X available here)
[17:11] <kyron> oh...lovely systemsettings
[17:11] <genii> camilla: Put in front of lines 15 and 16 a #, then in line 17, make it only /media/Extern    instead of /media/%2Extern
[17:12] <genii> camilla: Then do ctrl-x and choose Y to save the file, Enter or Return key to choose same name for the file
[17:14] <camilla> Sorry I'm such a noob. Shoud I start in Kate or something, I cannot edit in terminal window
[17:14] <genii> camilla: Yes, you are right now in the editor called nano in fact
[17:15] <camilla> Yees and are I able to cut and paste ?
[17:16] <genii> camilla: You do not need to cut and paste anything. Just use the arrow keys on the keyboard to go to the lines which in the pastebin are lines 15 and 16. Go to far left side of these lines then hit shift-3 to make a #
[17:18] <genii> camilla: After you make these two # at the start of lines 15 and i6, go with the arrow keys to the last line and then put the cursor at the E of Extern then hit the Backspace key twice
[17:18] <camilla> Ok I'm on it now :-)
[17:18] <genii> camilla: Then continue as instructed, eg: ctrl-x  then choose Y to save file, Enter or Return key for same name as before to save the file as
[17:20] <camilla> It' done thx
[17:22] <camilla> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50278/
[17:22] <camilla> I'll restart now
[17:22] <Dragonath> there's about 3 different kernels available for load in my grub, should I just remove entries for older versions? will it break something?
[17:22] <genii> camilla: Good, that is how it is supposed to look now.
[17:23] <genii> camilla: camillaNo restart needed
[17:23] <genii> 'bah
[17:23] <camilla> Ok
[17:23] <genii> camilla: Make sure now that /media/Extern exists
[17:23] <kaotrix> ./kick selene
[17:23] <kaotrix> lmao
[17:24] <camilla> It exist
[17:24] <kaotrix> in my pants?
[17:24] <genii> camilla: Does the directory have a lage E and not a small e ?
[17:24] <ardchoille> !ot | kaotrix
[17:24] <ubotu> kaotrix: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[17:24] <NickPresta> Dragonath, it's usually best to keep one previous version in case something breaks with the version you're using. You can remove the older versions if you want but then you will have no fallback if something breaks.
[17:24] <camilla> Its a  /  infront should I remove it?
[17:24] <Dragonath> ok, thanks
[17:24] <genii> camilla: camillaNo
[17:25] <kaotrix> stfu ardchoille
[17:25] <camilla> It is still assigned  /media/%2extern
[17:25] <genii> camilla: No, there should be a / there do not do anything to try and alter that
[17:25] <NickPresta> lol
[17:26] <camilla> I see it when I hover abov the folder
[17:26] <genii> camilla: Thats fine, don't mind what it says there.
[17:26]  * Dragonath reboots and hopes that nothing breaks
[17:27] <genii> camilla: in konsole, do:  sudo mount -o remount -a
[17:27] <genii> camilla: And then see if it gives messages or not, etc
[17:27] <BluesKaj> kyron,  if you're at the TTY , sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-source
[17:28] <camilla> Should I plugg in the drive
[17:28] <genii> camilla: Yes
[17:28] <camilla> Ok her we go
[17:29] <camilla> It says its not supported, I'll will wait a minute then try again
[17:29] <camilla> And paste the result
[17:30] <Dragonath> argh
[17:30] <genii> camilla: Something about UID or such?
[17:30] <Dragonath> how do I replace this - OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.1 Mesa 7.0.1) - with something more to do with ATI?
[17:31] <Dragonath> and have it remain even if I reboot the PC
[17:31] <camilla> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50280/
[17:32] <camilla> But when I try to mount it it says that I'm not allowed to mount
[17:32] <BluesKaj> Dragonath, pastebin your  /etc/X11/xorg.conf ...then we can edit
[17:32] <genii> camilla: Ah, OK. Please report result of the command:  mount
[17:32] <nuxil> so sudo first :p
[17:32] <genii> camilla: To pastebin please
[17:33] <camilla> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50282/
[17:34] <Dragonath> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50283/
[17:35] <genii> camilla: The mount command tells us the drive is not mounted as far as the system thinks. So you should be able to just do:    mount /media/Extern
[17:36] <camilla> Then it says that only root can mount.
[17:36] <nuxil> i tould ya.. sudo first :p
[17:36] <genii> camilla: In this case then use sudo before the mount command
[17:37] <genii> nuxil: Yup
[17:37] <camilla> Ok
[17:37] <genii> nuxil: Though for just reporting in what is mounted, user issuing mount works
[17:38] <camilla> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50285/
[17:38] <nuxil> normaly yes
[17:38] <BluesKaj> Dragonath, http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide
[17:38] <nuxil> camilla, your missing that dir
[17:39] <ardchoille> !away | tribaldata
[17:39] <ubotu> tribaldata: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages : use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently - See also !Guidelines
[17:39] <nuxil> camilla, sudo mkdir /media/extern or what ever
[17:39] <genii> camilla: You fibbed to me when I asked if the directory of /media/Extern   existed :)
[17:39] <Dragonath> BluesKaj: thanks
[17:39] <kanton> buenas tardes
[17:39] <camilla> it does
[17:39] <camilla> :-)
[17:40] <genii> camilla: Remember I asked about large E small e etc etc
[17:40] <camilla> But it is /Extern
[17:40] <nuxil> camilla, is it a windows disk ?
[17:40] <camilla> yes
[17:40] <genii> camilla: do: mkdir /media/Extern
[17:40] <genii> camilla: do: sudo mkdir /media/Extern
[17:40] <genii> rather
[17:40] <nuxil> camilla, use mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/xxx /media/Extern
[17:41] <nuxil> sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/xxx /media/Extern -o force
[17:41] <genii> nuxil: I sense her issue is that /Extern is not same as /media/Extern
[17:41] <nuxil> heh
[17:42] <neg> hi guys
[17:42] <ardchoille> Looks to me like /media/Extern doesn't exist, as per the error
[17:42] <nuxil> ho
[17:42] <genii> ardchoille: Exactly
[17:42] <neg> can i ask you a question?
[17:42] <ardchoille> neg: Sure
[17:42] <nuxil> neg, ask
[17:42] <neg> i have a problem
[17:43] <nuxil> dont we all :)
[17:43] <neg> i configured connection to internet throught br2684ctl
[17:43] <camilla> Ok wait
[17:43] <neg> and it works
[17:43] <neg> but konqueror dont see it
[17:43] <neg> it always says that any site is unreacheble
[17:44] <neg> but  ping irc kopete and other work
[17:44] <pag> neg, I'd blame it on knetworkmanager.
[17:44] <nuxil> neg, IS br2684ctl eth0 ?
[17:44] <neg> no its nas0
[17:44] <nuxil> bridge?
[17:44] <neg> i use winmodem
[17:44] <neg> on connexant chip
[17:45] <nuxil> neg, just trie to .. ifconfig eth0 down.. i have about the same issue if my eth0 is up and my inet is on eth2
[17:46] <nuxil> neg, if you have some network on eth0. you might want to masquerade with iptables :)
[17:47] <ardchoille> camilla: Are you aware that Linux is case-sensitive?  /media/extern is not the same as /media/Extern
[17:47] <kyron> blackflag, thanks for the tip but the problem that the drivers were "restricted"...in any case, I went through the procedure using a remote X session ;)
[17:48] <neg_> sorry
[17:48] <neg_> i hanged out
[17:48] <neg_> so if i will remove networkmanager problem will gone?
[17:49] <camilla> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50289/
[17:50] <camilla> I just want to get rid of all the folders and be able to start over again
[17:50] <kristjan_> how to downgrade a package?
[17:50] <pag> neg_, can't guarantee... give it a shot?
[17:51] <neg_> sorry english is't my native. what means give it a shot?
[17:51] <ardchoille> camilla: You need to replace /dev/xxx with the actual device (ie /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda1, etc)
[17:51] <nuxil> neg, it means give it a try
[17:51] <pag> neg_, it means "try it"
[17:51] <camilla> I did
[17:51] <neg_> ^)
[17:51] <nuxil> ;)
[17:51] <neg_> thanks
[17:51] <genii> camilla: Still you have to create yet the folder of /media/Extern.So:   sudo mkdir /media/Extern
[17:51] <neg_> i'll
[17:52] <camilla> After a couple of tries :-)
[17:52] <ardchoille> camilla: Ah, you did, ok good
[17:52] <genii> camilla: Then make sure that the file browser is also not looking at that folder when you try to do the mount command
[17:52] <nuxil> neg, install network-config
[17:52] <neg_> oh yes it's
[17:53] <neg_> i just quited knetworkmanager
[17:53] <neg_> thanks a lot
[17:53] <pag> np :)
[17:53] <camilla> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50290/
[17:53] <camilla> Now it says that the folder exist
[17:53] <nuxil> lol..
[17:53] <nuxil> sorry
[17:54] <ardchoille> camilla: Yes, because you created it earlier. You don't need to create the folder each time
[17:54] <camilla> No browser looking
[17:54] <genii> camilla: Also make sure that the command prompt is not inside of that folder too. For now to do:  cd ~                          should work
[17:54] <camilla> Sorry I confused the messages.
[17:56] <genii> camilla: Then now if sdf is the correct drive to mount, the fstab entry should be good, and then can do:   sudo mount /media/Extern
[17:57] <camilla> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50293/
[17:58] <camilla> Now it shows thats the /dev/sdf1 (Extern hårddisk) is the drive
[17:58] <genii> camilla: Please put to pastebin the result of the command:     sudo fdisk -l
[17:59] <genii> camilla: Because it may be that sdf is not the correct drive in this case, but another like sdb

[18:00] <BluesKaj> gents/ladies , I was chastised for suggesting the use of the "cat" command when trying to find out what the CPU speed is , for example ," cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep MHz " ...what is a safer/better alternative ?
[18:00] <camilla> (Extern hårddisk) is the drivers name
[18:02] <genii> camilla: sdf1 IS correct.It is saying now something is busy. So either you have some file browser looking at /media/Extern or you are in the directory of /media/Extern with the command prompt, or else more remotely, there is a file check happening to /dev/sdf or something of this sort
[18:02] <camilla> I.ll terminate everything. And redo the command
[18:04] <camilla> Now skim crached :-)
