[03:45] one weird problem, my kdm starts in very low resolution like 800x600 and after login its 1024x768 [03:45] !info lisa [03:45] lisa (source: kdenetwork): LAN information server for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 172 kB, installed size 612 kB [03:46] dennister: what problem are you having? [03:47] well, i was using lisa as a stopgap until i could get samba configured properly, but only the lisa works, and i'm wondering if it's preventing the samba from working, like on the same port or...? [03:47] that's one issue :) [03:47] i dont kow enough about lisa to comment on that. [03:48] although if you ask your samba problem it may become apparent :) (with relevent logs) [03:48] well there aren't errors when i testparm it [03:50] pc A is downstairs (beginnings of a fileserver); i'm on pc B; the modem/router isn't even listing A as a device, although it did a few days ago, and both can surf [03:50] A is also a user of B that shows up when i reboot in the login screen [03:51] a isa user of b? [03:51] no, i made A a user of B via samba [03:52] * kgoetz doesnt follow, but also doesnt use samba [03:53] what doesn't use samba? lisa? [03:54] i actually know that...i did have samba successfully running about a year ago when I was still living with my son, and he had the windows-only machine [03:55] like i said, i was only using lisa as a temporary stop-gap measure until i could get samba working...but I'm having trouble with the samba and am afraid to remove lisa 'cause it's the only thing that's working so far [03:55] i dont use samba [03:56] ok then...would you know why A is not showing up as a device in my modem/router software? it did a few days ago [03:56] okay so I'm still tryin to play a DVD [03:56] and i realized under disk & filesystems my dvd-drive wasn't enabled [03:56] i tried to enable it but it crashed :S [03:57] other pps r having trouble with k3b and dvd-playing today? [03:59] would anyone be able to tell me why pc A is not showing as a device int he modem/router software? even though it can surf as well as pc B? [04:00] does anyone know how to get headphones working? (i get no sound coming out of them) [04:00] are others having trouble with dvd's totally crashing whole pc's? [04:00] question [04:00] dennister: I dont [04:01] under disk & file systems [04:01] my dvd-burner/player seems to be mounted under [04:01] kgoetz: still here? [04:01] media/floppy0 [04:01] is this right? [04:01] * LimCore marks scoponly as foobar and useless [04:01] kaan: no [04:01] * LimCore wishes less programs would be totally broken [04:01] should be under /media/cdrom0 or /media/cdrom [04:02] how should i modify it? [04:02] ok [04:02] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scponly/+bug/122715 [04:02] this bug in over half year old.. how can I help to have it fixed finally [04:03] kaan: you may have to edit /etc/fstab...kde's settings is only front end to fstab [04:03] i think you can also do a manual mount by makinga directory like /media/dvd and then mount sometihng to it [04:04] i can't change it dennister [04:04] ugh [04:04] i dunno which way to go for now [04:04] :) [04:04] does anyone know how to get headphones working? (i get no sound coming out of them) [04:04] kaan: yes, as i thought...go to terminal [04:04] ok [04:04] and... [04:04] type in: sudo nano /etc/fstab [04:04] warning, be very careful! [04:05] hehe ok [04:05] * nonewmsgs wonders why everyone prefers nano to kate [04:05] editting [04:05] hm there it is [04:05] yep...the real meat of disks and filesystems [04:06] dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto user, atime,noauto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0 [04:06] this is the line [04:06] oh but on top of that line [04:06] there is a: [04:06] dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,atime,noauto,rw,dev,exec,suid 0 0 [04:07] but i dont see that one under disk & filesystems [04:07] well that's not a bad line...make sure there's a '/' before 'dev [04:07] yep yep i just couldn't type that here [04:07] ok...got it [04:08] so what should i do? :( [04:08] user will often meet root, especially if you have a 'uid=0' [04:09] im not sure about my user ID but i am the only user of the computer also the admin [04:09] do you have a 'users' group? if you don't know, you can delete the 'user' option and insert 'uid=1000' which is probably you [04:09] then you will be 1000 [04:09] okay what should i do then? [04:10] this is the header [04:10] [04:10] proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 [04:10] k...just going back to your other options... [04:11] and these are the other lines [04:11] # /dev/sda3 [04:11] UUID=12b34419-8645-4395-aecf-3a3450d2dad9 / ext3 nouser,defaults,errors=remount$ [04:11] # /dev/sda1 [04:11] UUID=041427B81427AC1C /media/sda1 ntfs defaults,umask=007,uid=0,gid=46,auto,rw,$ [04:11] # /dev/sda2 [04:11] UUID=7d4979ac-7b4a-4787-b4de-92debdc3968d none swap sw 0 0 [04:11] I have 'users,atime,auto,rw,dev,exec,suid" as my options, but then i know that i'm part of the users group [04:11] does anyone know how to get headphones working? (i get no sound coming out of them) [04:11] those are just the harddrives i think [04:11] kaan: stop...we usually use pastebin to stop flooding the channel with lots of lines [04:11] yes, they are [04:12] ugh i forgot how to login to registration [04:12] sorry :( [04:12] the 'rw' option could be giving you a problem, but i don't think so [04:13] my external harddrive works with rw though [04:14] kaan: yes, that's fine...i just had an issue with being told i couldn't enable my burner through disks & filesystems, tho, because there was an audio cd in the drive [04:14] ok, you've made a small change in your fstab, changing the 'user' to 'uid=1000' right? [04:14] ok i'll do that [04:15] thats the cdrom0 line right? [04:15] change the first 0 to 1000? [04:15] yep [04:15] no [04:15] before you get to the first 0 at the end of the line, you have some options, separated by commas [04:16] yes [04:16] one of thos options is 'user' [04:16] suid? [04:16] oh right [04:16] ok [04:16] delete that, replace it with uid=1000, and make sure there are no spaces after the commas [04:17] it is udf,iso9660 user,atime..... should i delete the whole iso9660 user? or just user? [04:17] just 'user' [04:17] ok done/modified [04:18] should i try changing the mount point now? [04:18] add 'uid=1000' before one of the commas...no, don't change mount point [04:19] okay i deleted user and changed it to uid=1000... for the mount point: When I browsed it automatically changed itself to /proc :S and i cant even find media as a type or folder [04:21] media will always be under the root / directory [04:21] in terminal, go to file, and open up another konsole [04:22] does anyone know how to get headphones working? (i get no sound coming out of them) [04:22] type in 'ls /' and you'll see it listed [04:22] don't worry about /proc:S for now [04:23] what do you mean by file dennister? go to file? [04:24] kaan: what i want you to do now is close the fstab file, saving it's changes, and reboot...the fstab is so important for booting any tiny change should be tested...your problem could be solved [04:24] kaan: sorry...mean 'session' === nicholas_ is now known as Strangelet [04:24] Is there a KDE port for the GIMP? It's different look PEEVES me! [04:25] okay i modified fstab and saved it... so go to session and open up another konsole window... what do you mean by session sorry im new [04:26] kaan: never mind, if u've saved fstab and closed it, just type in "ls /" without quotes [04:26] do you see 'media' in the list? [04:26] ok now there is media, cdrom, etc, and other folders [04:26] yep [04:26] cd media [04:26] k, good [04:26] ops :) [04:28] yes, you can go "ls /media", and see all sorts of folders within media [04:28] but right now i'd like you to "sudo nano /etc/group' and look carefully at the format of those lines [04:28] hmmm there is a media folder under etc folder as well as root [04:29] kaan: all the folders for your mounted disks will be under root's media, not etc's media [04:29] okay format is root:x:0 and such [04:29] good, do u see a line with 'users'? [04:30] yes users:x:100 [04:31] kaan: ok, you want to add your name and root, in the same format used by other lines...hold on [04:31] yes i have kaan:x:1000; there [04:31] this is my name and root right? [04:31] take ur time dennister, thnx [04:32] kaan: ok, my line says: users:x:100:camus,cathy,root note that there r no spaces [04:32] hi [04:33] i set up my printer under K->System->HPLIP Tool Box. a test page came out and looked fine. but open office cannot see it.

[04:38] yes, and after 'kaan'...',root' [04:39] so it becomes: users;x:100,kaan,root [04:39] and nooooo spaces after commas [04:39] ok [04:39] geju: never mind my issue now, thx...i just wanna finish with kaan here [04:39] ok [04:39] saved [04:40] kaan: an: now, if you ever edit your fstab again, you can use 'gid=100' as an option, like 'uid=1000' [04:40] hm ok [04:40] and know that both root and yourself, the main user, will be able to mount a drive [04:40] nice [04:41] should i restart? [04:41] or you could use 'users' as an option the way you did have 'user', and achieve the same thing [04:41] kaan: yes, reboot now, and your problem could be solved [04:41] ok i'll be right back pls don't go anywhere :) [04:41] don't count on it, but maybe :) [04:42] i hope the system wont crash.... [04:42] k, will do [04:42] since we changed important files :( [04:42] okay brb [04:42] we only made very minor changes, should be fine [04:42] brb in 5...need a cig [04:43] any idea on how to hide backup files? e.g. foo~ [04:44] dennister im back [04:45] infurnus put a . in front of the file [04:45] disk & file systems is back to normal [04:46] mount point again says /media/floppy0 for the Burner DVD_RW ND-3550A [04:47] kaan: lol...shouldn't be showing that [04:47] ok, stay in disks & filesystems [04:47] haha i dunno why it loves the floppy so much [04:48] but when i modify [04:48] how do i set it up? [04:48] now. modify [04:48] what should i put for the mount point: [04:48] change the dev with the pulldown menu to /media/cdrom0 [04:48] oops [04:49] media/cdrom0 is the mount point [04:50] hm it said /media/cdrom0 is already in use by another entry? Continue? [04:50] but above that, change the dev to dev/ whatever is the correct one [04:50] take a look and find out what is using it [04:50] there is system under the DVD [04:51] then there are 4 harddrives, 1 external and 1 for windows 2 for linux (including swap) [04:51] is your dvd drive an external one? [04:51] no [04:51] ok, think i know what's happening [04:52] modify the burner again [04:52] and under any of those i dont see /media/cdrom0 so i dunno why it said its being used [04:52] ok [04:52] my modify type is automatic right now :S what should i choose? [04:52] right at the very top, where it says type...change that to /dev/sdc0 [04:53] oh ok [04:53] dangit...sorry [04:54] there is no such thing however there is iso9660-CD-rom and bdev and couple more dev's [04:54] keep type at automatic... [04:54] lol ok [04:54] just change mount point to /media/cdrom0 ? and hit continue this time? [04:54] under the mount point, which sould be media/cdrom0, click the circle 'by name [04:55] and inside the bar, type in /dev/sdc0 [04:56] the mountpoint /dev/sdc0 does not exist. You will not be able to enable it until it is created.\ Should I create the mountpoint? [04:56] This is the error i got [04:57] yes, creat it [04:57] oh one sec [04:58] wait [04:58] do u want me to change the mount point or the name? which kubuntu are you using? [04:58] or i mean linux [04:58] i had to look ^^^^^ [04:58] lol ok [04:58] you said earlier your burner is under scd0, right? [04:59] did i? :) i dont think i said that [04:59] however when i wanted to change the mount point to cdrom0 it said its already under use [04:59] ^^^dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 [05:00] so that means, beside the name, you should be typing in /dev/scd0 [05:00] disks & filesystems should be matching your fstab [05:01] ohhhhh gotcha [05:01] name or mount point? [05:01] name [05:01] ok changed the name [05:01] what about type and mount point [05:02] type is automatic right now and mount point is /media/floppy0 [05:02] mount point should still be /media/cdrom0 [05:02] ok [05:02] ok im hitting ok... everything is set? [05:02] almost...what other options are under name [05:03] i'd put an x in 'enable at startup' and 'writeable' [05:03] there is mount point then there is device and under device... u choose by name, by UUID or by label... then there is enable at start up and writable [05:03] put x's in the boxes...not radio circles [05:04] someone told me before though its bad to try enabling the DVD-roms if there is no actual DVDs in [05:04] ok [05:04] that other person was probably right, actually [05:04] yea so i think i should keep enable at start up unchecked [05:04] okay so everything seems fine [05:04] cross fingers :) [05:04] in 'mount permission' make sure [05:05] that root user is not the only person who can enable/disable [05:05] currently it is one user at a time may enable/disable [05:05] then you should be able to hit ok [05:05] allrite [05:05] that should be fine [05:05] same question [05:05] already in use cdrom0 [05:05] continue? [05:06] k...can you see any other device that's using cdrom0 in the mount point? [05:06] no [05:06] :( [05:06] maybe i should just say continue? [05:07] try it [05:07] Hello everyone. My network isn't starting up after booting. My "networking" service is marked as starting up on boot in System Settings. [05:07] oh it says it doesnt exist. Should I create the mountpoint..... yes? [05:07] yes [05:07] allrite [05:07] Ertain: what is the network, and are you sure your connected to it? [05:08] im gonna try playing this DVD again [05:08] I mean my network service. [05:08] and you can delete the other /media/sdc0 or what ever you created earlier [05:08] If I restart my networking service it'll connect (/etc/init.d/networking restart). [05:08] from fstab? [05:09] oh wow dennister.... this is really interesting [05:09] I got this error: [05:10] The source can't be read. [05:10] Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (Error reading NAV packet.) [05:10] Ertain: which doesnt answer my question at all... [05:10] kaan: not from fstab...remember when i told you the wrong dev earlier? b4 i corrected myself? [05:11] in terminal, type in 'ls /media [05:11] you could do it here so we could see [05:11] oh i dont think i ever created that [05:11] eg /cmd ls /media [05:11] ok then...i'm glad you find it interesting :) [05:12] ok i think i need the enough rights to play because the first FBI warning and ATTENTION things show up [05:12] cdrom [05:12] cdrom0 [05:12] oh wait [05:12] after all that i didn't enable the DVD [05:12] :D [05:12] ok now its enabled i'll try again [05:13] have u tried sticking the dvd in to see if a popup comes up? asking you what you want to do with it? [05:13] oh, now it's finally enabled? [05:13] yea what program u want to use to open up the media thing pops up [05:13] yep it is [05:14] it wasn't before.... it was crashing [05:14] wonderful :) [05:14] i know we rock [05:14] lol [05:14] not crashing now, eh? try playing it with caffeine [05:14] oops...showing my addiction :) [05:15] okay yea the same not enough rights error popped up [05:15] well now you know a bit about the relationship between users, groups, fstab, disks & filesystems [05:15] yes [05:15] not a problem...we are making progress [05:15] i really appreciate the help [05:15] modify the burner again in d&f [05:15] ok [05:16] i feel i need those rights somehow... [05:16] cause it seems like its going to play it [05:16] good if it plays [05:17] no though i get that error saying i dont have the rights to play this DVD [05:17] actually, i thought the permissions could be set in D&F's 'advanced' but not so...modifying the burner won't help [05:17] open up konqueror [05:17] ok [05:18] opened [05:19] go to /media/cdrom0, and left-click the folder, choose 'properties' [05:20] first tab is 'general' open 'permissions' tab and tell me what you see [05:20] access permissions: owner,group,others: can view content [05:21] who's the owner? [05:21] ownership: kaan, group: 4294967295 [05:21] group is what?!?!?!? [05:21] hi again. [05:21] kgoetz, are u still here? [05:21] :) [05:21] 4294967295 there is a dropbox next to it [05:22] kaan: o_0 wtf? [05:22] chinamann: yes i am [05:22] there is video, cdrom, admin [05:22] kaan as the dropbox items [05:23] kgoetz: after steeling down all with my dear :) i am again on air and have cjhecked out the sshd_config already. [05:23] no idea what i neccesary... [05:23] what should i set the group to? kaan? :) [05:23] yeah, that should be ok [05:24] kgoetz: what do i need to check out ??? [05:24] chinamann: have you looked at this? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AdvancedOpenSSH#head-782ec62d8972acdaa50d6e2e0bef5779264c9f2b [05:24] Could not modify the ownership of file /media/cdrom0/VIDEO_TS. You have insufficient access to the file to perform the change [05:24] yes. [05:24] thats what i got [05:25] ok, let's take another look at your group file: in terminal, type in sudo nano /etc/group [05:25] chinamann: and you check for these lines? PubkeyAuthentication yes [05:25] RSAAuthentication yes [05:25] in sshd_config or in ssh_config? [05:26] ok [05:26] looking [05:26] what does the nano command do by the way? [05:26] chinamann: sshd_config. on the server [05:27] kaan: you want to add your name to cdrom line, audio line, video line... [05:27] Kaevik: its a basic text editor [05:27] i changed them both already, no change.. [05:27] hello everyone [05:27] chinamann: restarted the serverice? [05:27] kaan: you should really use gpasswd for group changes [05:27] could anyone tell me if the livecd comes with libmtp support in Amarok pre-installed? [05:28] !info libmtp [05:28] Package libmtp does not exist in gutsy [05:28] kgoetz: yes [05:28] JapaneseStudent: sure thats what its called? [05:28] kaan: you also want to make sure your name is in the lines for plugdev, powerdev [05:28] I cannot find audio [05:29] chinamann: i'm not sure whats wrong. i havent had that problem before. [05:29] ??? gotta be there [05:29] seriously, use gpasswd :) [05:29] i got plugdev and powerdev [05:29] oh ok audio [05:29] yea kaan's there too [05:29] kgoetz: could you take over for me with kaan here? you're actually right [05:30] kgoetz: i was willing to make data backup by rsync and then key auth, is fine.. [05:30] ok everything seems okay here dennister [05:30] hmm well I don't know if that is what the package would be be called [05:30] good...other names on the cdrom line should be haldaemon [05:30] dennister: where are we up to? [05:30] kgoetz: just a minute [05:31] JapaneseStudent: look at packages.ubuntu.com and see if you can find it [05:31] yep [05:31] thats there too [05:31] but I do know the protocol is mtp... how about if anyone could tell me if Creative Zen V Plus or other MTP devices work out of the box with Amarok on the livecd [05:31] kaan: add haldaemon to powerdev, plugdev, and floppy, too [05:32] kgoetz: waht is Identity file in the config? [05:32] i'm just making sure...you want to make sure for these groups that you have the right permissions [05:32] chinamann: which file? [05:32] its already there [05:32] good [05:32] ok, close group, save file [05:33] ok [05:33] still in terminal, we're now going to make sure ownership is correct, and permissions are correct [05:34] ok [05:34] lets go [05:34] :) [05:34] type in: sudo chown kaan:kaan /media/cdrom0 [05:34] kgoetz: what means AuthorizedKeysFile ?? [05:34] chown means change ownership :) [05:34] ok it changed it to readonly file system [05:35] not to worry just yet [05:35] chinamann: check the man page. its a list of hosts that are allowed keybased authentication [05:35] before the colon was the device owner, right after it was the group owner [05:35] kgoetz do i need RhostsRSAAuthetication? [05:35] now, type in: sudo chmod a+rwx /media/cdrom0 [05:36] chinamann: check the man page [05:36] oh i don't think these are working [05:36] with 'chmod' being used to change permissions [05:36] last 2 commands [05:36] dennister: you shouldnt arbitarily change system directories permissions [05:36] chown: changing ownership of `/media/cdrom0': Read-only file system [05:36] this is what i got [05:36] kgoetz: ur right [05:37] kgoetz: can u help kaan now, he's having trouble with perms in regards to dvd\s [05:37] one normally dozent change owndership/perms of mountpoints - i thought. [05:37] dennister: ok. what have we found out so far? [05:37] Dr_willis: correct. [05:37] that was the only or main way i knew how...so far we've been able to enable the bloody burner...which we couldn't before [05:38] but i just got here..:) so i dont know the whole problem here. [05:38] Isent there a burner group? [05:38] actually why would BURNING disk even be using the mountpoint? [05:38] Dr_willis: not always [05:38] Dr_willis: i dont know the full story yet either - i'm trying to find it out ;) [05:38] i don't have one [05:39] after we finally got the burner fixed in fstab and such, with right mount points and all, it's working [05:39] kaan put the dvd in and it wanted to play...but he's still being told he didn't have enough permissions [05:39] whats not working - burning or playback? [05:39] playback [05:40] kaan: i don't know kgoetz very well yet, but Dr_willis is the bomb! he knows everything way better than i :) [05:40] * Dr_willis hides [05:40] lol [05:40] haha [05:40] hehe [05:40] Dr_willis: your in for it now ;) [05:41] come out dr willis [05:41] I cant rember the last time i actually played an actual dvd video disk. [05:41] :P [05:41] hahaha [05:41] yea they'll go away soon [05:41] now i need to go peeeeee :) [05:41] so whos helping me? [05:41] kaan: what are the permissions on your cd/dvd device? [05:41] can view content [05:42] user,group,admin [05:42] kaan: pastebin the output of `ls -lh /dev/cdrom` and `ls -lh /dev/dvdrom` (not sure if the latter exists) [05:42] * kgoetz isnt running kubuntu, so has to guess at times [05:43] okay how can i login again to pastebin :) [05:43] you don't need to login, just paste there and click send [05:43] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2008-03-21 17:37 /dev/dvd -> hdc [05:43] lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2008-03-21 17:37 /dev/dvdrw -> hdc [05:43] !pastebin [05:43] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [05:44] oh gotcha [05:44] Dr_willis: hdc? not running a newer ubuntu? [05:44] are mine. :) looks like they are links to hdc - which is --> brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 22, 0 2008-03-21 17:37 /dev/hdc [05:44] kgoetz, i got some machines that set them to hd## and some use sd## [05:44] Dr_willis: funky [05:44] ok pasted [05:45] link? [05:45] kgoetz, actually THIS box is running sidux at the moment. :) but i do have some ubuntu box's that dont use sd# [05:45] kaan: then you post the url here [05:45] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60696/ [05:45] hey all, is there some way to tell the packaging system "I have this package, and will take care of updating it in the future"? Similar to emerge inject in gentoo [05:45] nice way of solving flooding :) [05:45] kaan: so run the same command on /dev/scd0? [05:46] slougi: look at apt pinning [05:46] kgoetz: right, thanks [05:46] slougi: np [05:46] ahhhhh all the real experts are showing their faces now :) [05:47] stdin is another soul i wished was in here earlier, heheheh [05:47] i think its experts wake up time [05:47] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60698/ [05:47] it's still too early for me [05:47] kgoetz: hmm that isn't quite what i was looking for... [05:47] yes, it seems that way...i, unfortunately, sometimes give others a bum steer when i try....going out for a cig, then i need some networking assistance ppl....brb [05:48] kaan: if you run `groups` what do you get? [05:48] well if all the experts are up...does anyone know how to get headphones working (i get no sound out of them) [05:48] run it from the run command? [05:48] oh termina [05:48] from konsole [05:48] this: kaan adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev scanner lpadmin admin netdev powerdev [05:48] geju: have you tried playing with all the mixer levels in alsamixer? alsa is a bit wonky that way [05:49] i'll use pastebin if it is actually too long is that ok kgoetz? [05:49] kaan: a few lines is ok, more then 3or 4 people get grouchy [05:49] ok [05:50] kaan: have you just added yourself to cdrom, or were you in it before? [05:50] i just created the cdrom actually i think :S [05:50] its a system group, so you better not have [05:51] kaan: if you just got added to cdrom, you'll have to logout before you can access that device [05:51] okay then i guess i just added mysel [05:51] Is there a program for configuring Apache2 and (if needed) PHP using a GUI? Or am I stuck with editing text files? [05:51] oh [05:51] ok i'll logout [05:51] i'll be right back kgoetz [05:51] ok [05:52] re-align: ebox perhaps, but files are always best [05:53] Don't need anything fancy, just setting one up for localhost use. Can't find a decent free webhost for my GalaxyTool, so I'll host one locally. [05:54] and now jucato...like i said, all the experts are night-owls [05:54] if your setting up one site i'd suggest using a text editor [05:54] ok im back [05:54] kgoetz [05:55] Dr_willis: could you help me with my networking issues now? [05:55] im trying again [05:55] pretty pls? [05:55] hm im not getting that permission error anymore [05:55] dennister, what issue? [05:55] but the DVD playback just stops [05:56] several i'm afraid [05:56] after showing the FBI warning and ATTENTION screens [05:56] story briefly: building a fileserver, started out with lisa, its working, then installed samba [05:56] :) [05:56] kaan: i suspect its not permissions but software problem (which i cant help with, becausei dont use whatever your using to play it) [05:56] kaan, what player you using? [05:56] you did install the dcss crud? [05:56] kaffeine [05:56] !dvd [05:56] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [05:56] samba is not working, even tho it testparms ok on both machines [05:57] run the player from the terminal, see if it says you need dvdcss. [05:57] kgoetz: i made a debug file. Pls check out and advise .http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60699/ [05:57] dennister, starting with the basics.. You did INSTALL the samba package? [05:57] yes, following this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComprehensiveSambaGuide?highlight=%28samba%29 [05:58] dennister, you did give your users a samba password with 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' ? [05:58] even added the fileserver (camus) to this machine as a user...yes [05:58] okay yea this is the error i get [05:58] The source can't be read. [05:58] Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disc in drive). (Error reading NAV packet.) [05:58] ops a little too long im sorry [05:59] anybody a idea where to search for loggin in ? [05:59] Hmm.. that howto is doing a lot of theings ive never had to do. :) [05:59] problem: now my modem/router doesn't even recognize camus as a separate device, altho it did, and i can change the nat stuff on camus [06:00] i have camus temporarily as allowing all applications (dmz mode) in the router/software [06:01] but like i said, camus does *not* show up as a separate computer, unlike this pc, ondaatje [06:01] dennister, lets clarify your whole setup You have a home lan? or are trying to get to a samba share across the internet? [06:01] home lan [06:01] chinamann: it cant find the file it wants - debug1: Trying private key: /home/markus/.ssh/id_rsa [06:01] how i set up my home lan.... :) [06:01] apt-get install samba (done ) [06:02] give each user a smb password. (sudo smbpasswd -a username) [06:02] done [06:02] edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf - to enable the shares.... [06:02] Thats about it... [06:02] done...all testparms well [06:02] takes me all of 2 min. :) [06:02] kgoetz: that's all i got .. [06:02] does the local machine see the local shares then? [06:02] what do i need to do? [06:02] which local machine? [06:02] dennister, one with shares... [06:03] the machines should be seeing theirselfs. [06:03] k, am on ondaatje...its not seeing itself [06:03] You are SURE you enabled/made some shares? [06:03] there are none by default. [06:04] ah i give up for now [06:04] I always uncomment/enable the home shares.. [06:04] thanks for the help guys [06:04] bye [06:05] yes, i'm sure i did, and this one, when i hit samba shares, says it can't see any workgroups...'may be caused by an enabled firewall [06:05] chinamann: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60680/ see where you put in 'id' here? leave that blank and try again [06:05] dennister, so smb://mshome/ shows nothing eh? [06:05] yep...shows nada...error message [06:05] sorry kgoetz, dont get u [06:06] does anyone know how to get headphones working (i get no sound out of them) [06:06] sudo iptables --list [06:06] should show if any firewall rules are enabled. [06:06] afk a while. [06:07] Dr_willis: three chain segments, policy is ACCEPT for all 3 [06:07] hain OUTPUT (policy ACCEPT) [06:07] target prot opt source destination [06:07] rules shiw up under target. :) blank = no tules. [06:07] rules. [06:07] yep, and identical for chain forward and chain output [06:08] SO it seems you ahve no rules setup [06:08] exactly...only firewall is with the modem/router combo device [06:08] to which both machines, camus and ondaatje, are connected via ethernet cables [06:10] http://pastebin.ca/953613 is my pastebin of my working samba config file [06:10] Dr_willis: ok, this is wierd: i just took another gander at my smb.conf file, and this time i'm sure workgroup line is missing, although i KNOW i put it in at least twice [06:11] dennister, :) i never use any gui tools to edit that file [06:11] actually, i didn't :) [06:11] i also like the --> auto services = willis Public homes [06:11] !mouse [06:11] Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto [06:11] in there. that way it shows my Public share by default. [06:12] default service = Publicfiles [06:12] !alsa [06:12] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [06:13] Dr_willis: why is my smb.conf losing data I know i have typed in? this has happened at least twice now [06:14] no idea [06:14] save it.. backup the one ya did.. [06:14] then keep an eye on it [06:14] i recall ages ago someone else talking about it doing that. but never seen it happen [06:14] hi guys, again [06:15] good evening all, just thought I would give kubuntu 8 a whirl, i'm just wondering..how do I set resolution for my laptop, nvidia is installed properly however it does seem that I am not in my proper resolution [06:15] does anybody knows why i get this error message [06:15] anyone used to ssh connections? [06:15] chinamann, Huh? [06:16] dependency is not satisfiable, wireshark-common [06:16] sup [06:16] Dr_wills, could u help me? [06:16] jorge_, i would update/upgrade and try again... [06:16] i dont get it done.. [06:16] i did it [06:16] chinamann, I am not sure what you are even talking about. [06:16] there's no more updates [06:16] ssh public key registratiuon at a v-server. [06:17] 7.10 kubuntu [06:17] chinamann, thats beyone anything ive done. [06:17] KRandRTray seems to hang...? [06:17] Dr. wills, pls look at this one.http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60680/ [06:18] anybody else used to ssh login? [06:18] i use ssh to login to my remote machines all the time. [06:18] automated or manualy? [06:18] actually, I lied... [06:18] i just ssh to the box and enter my password. :) [06:19] I am running 1280x800, but all of the fonts just seem huge... [06:19] i have et up passwordless logins ages ago.. but not recently [06:19] Dr_willis: ok, i saved it, cp'd it for safe-keeping, testparmed, and restarted samba server...still can't see it's own workgroup or it's own shares [06:19] DR wills i just need pwd. less for backup reasons... with rsync [06:22] chinamann, you need to make a key with ssh_keygen i thought. [06:22] ssh-copy-id willis@mythbox [06:22] then worked for me [06:22] DR wills,,,, yes, that all is done... [06:23] it just worked fine for me here.. :) i now dont need to enter a password. [06:23] that was on my TODO list.. thanks chinamann :) [06:23] i did a ssh-keygen on both machines, [06:24] why on both? [06:24] then ssh-copy-id willis@mythbox on the 2nd machime and ssh-copy-id willis@black on the first [06:24] so i can ssh either way [06:24] i am just working on the client.. [06:24] now to set up the 3rd machine. [06:24] remote = v-server in germany.. i am in china actualy. [06:25] Perhaps its copying the generated key from the other box?

[14:10] hello jessica & Paul2 [14:11] roey, what choice do you have? [14:12] I don't know? [14:12] this new X won't even let me modprobe nvidia [14:13] silly question but have you actually installed the driver? [14:13] (ie, the nvidia one) [14:14] (I don't know?) [14:14] I've tried the nvidia_glx_new driver but I don't see any logo pop up when I start X [14:14] hmm [14:14] im not sure tbh as ve not used 8.04 [14:15] ok then [14:18] test [14:20] hmm great, i enabled my 2nd monitor and now i cant change any res [14:29] Argh this is stupid. I can't change resolutions and it won't let me have multi-monitor now... [14:31] * silverblade slaps Xorg.conf about a bit [14:32] hi [14:33] why is it so difficult to install things on kubuntu? [14:33] for example [14:33] i can't install skype [14:33] can anyone help me? [14:36] WTH is wrong with this thing [14:36] I have 2 monitors, both run at 1280x1024. yet Kubuntu's display configuration applet tells me this is the case but one of them is running at the wrong res and now it only lets me choose 640x480 [14:37] ubuntu: google ubuntu forum install skype [14:37] ubuntu>adept manager and type skype> [14:38] ubuntu: basicly, its just - download binary from skype.com (linux -> dynamic binary) and then download few libraries and that all. -or- try downlaoding skype.com's .deb or even ubuntu package if provided, then dpkg -i file or try alien file or sometihng [14:38] Paul2: oh. oh that lol. Skype is now in repos? [14:39] estobuntu.org have distro [14:39] with skype [14:40] paul2 [14:40] it's not showing up skype in adept [14:40] i tried that at firest [14:40] first [14:41] ubuntu google ubuntu skype install this is described on ubuntu forums [14:49] I have some TrueType Fonts (TTF) that look fine with KFontView, but when I install them none of my KDE apps cn use them. They are just 'normal' fonts in all of my apps, when they're meant to be something crazy. Why is this? [14:49] my KDE apps can use them, but yhey're not special, i should say. [14:51] odd, there shouldnt be a problem eljefe, how you installed them? [14:52] i copied them to konqueror's fonts:/system/ [14:52] Isn't there a font installer in systemsettings/kcontrol? [14:52] After installing KDE on a Ubuntu server, the server will no longer boot normally (it can however be booted in recovery mode). Trying to boot normally results in a blank screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left hand corner. Is there any way to fix this? [14:53] yes same thing i thought; or i can right-click and select Install. They always show up in a newly-started app's font list, but either as boxes or as a boring font, not as the fun font I spent time digging up. [14:54] Could it be the DM that is at fault Pendeta, can you switch to a virtual terminal when the screen is black? (ctrl+F1 or something) [14:54] Pendeta: i've seen this in the past where it does boot, eventually, but there is no splash screen to let you know it is working. Have you tried waiting a bit longer? [14:55] eljefe, I wait about 10 minutes once. [14:55] Azzco, I try that and report back. [14:57] Azzco, ctrl+F1 doesn't do anything. What is DM? === SSJ is now known as SSJ_GZ [15:00] Pendeta: DM=Display Manager, normaly it's probably KDM in your case. I don't think I cvan help you but at least you know it's the boot proccess and not X that is at fault. === Paul1 is now known as Paul2 [15:01] Azzco and eljefe, thanks. I'll try in the Ubuntu forum. [15:02] Where can I find info about new features for the realese of kubuntu? It seems a bit cloudy in the anouncement compared to ubuntu.. [15:02] Pendeta: yes that seems to be a hang, the boot time in my story was pretty normal, just seemed long without and monitor response. Is it a kernel version? or just X isn't starting? once it's 'booted' can you [ctrl][alt][f2] to get to a login prompt, and [ctrl][alt][f7] to get back to your hung X ? [15:02] or is it not a hung X ? [15:03] Oh it was just a little bump in my internet connection ^^ [15:05] eljefe, x did't install properly. gewnview would not install (using aptitude) even after many tries. [15:05] When I try to play a WAV File with Amarok, it hangs. This has been a problem on my Gentoo installation also, and has affected XMMS too [15:08] silverblade: telling weather you use xine or gstreamer as engine might help a bit, you can also try to start amarok from a console and check for outputs when you open a wav [15:08] i think i use xine [15:13] Gah, issue number 3: With compiz enabled if i inadvertently do SHIFT+backspace, it kills X [15:14] ...and now i cant get into administrator mode in System Settings [15:15] silverblade: which version are you on? [15:15] Gutsy [15:15] this is also immediately after having done a full update to all packages [15:15] silverblade: my apologies, which version of kde are you on? [15:16] ive rebooted... and at present im trying to use Administrator mode in System Settings. It prompts for a password and then just goes back to saying I need to be admin. [15:16] oh [15:16] 3.5.8 apparently [15:16] ok, great. have you the ccsm package installed? [15:17] are you aiming to help me with the compiz issue? [15:17] (sorry i have about 4 problems right now) [15:18] i assume so, in which case yes i have ccsm [15:18] yes, the shift+backspace. [15:18] yeah [15:18] i have it [15:18] silverblade: also, you may be interested to check out #compiz-fusion for specialist help [15:19] good point === kenneth is now known as Kennie` [15:24] any ideas on my Administrator Mode not working? [15:26] hmm ok i managed to fudge it so it works. but the display settings applet still tells me 640x480 is the only choice. [15:41] what is best Audio Editor For KDE(only KDE(QT),no Gnome(GTK))?(i want it for cut and paste audio file!) [15:41] audacity uses qt.. right? [15:42] no no!audacity using GTK!! [15:43] oh [15:43] mkargar, god forbit [15:43] forbid* [15:43] rosegarden uses qt, but I'm not sure it's what you're looking for. rg is more MIDI central [15:43] why is it so incredibly important that it not be a gtk app? there is absolutely no reason to be so anti-gtk anymore, unless you've been listening to the trolls [15:44] gtk-qt-engine is nice if you have to use gtk [15:44] Hello, I was wondering if someone could tell me how to setup a LAMP Development enviorment in Kubuntu, I already have the system installed but I don't want to have to install and configure the components myself [15:44] gtk is horrible [15:44] Id go with Audacity. [15:44] No one should use gtk [15:44] I think you can just install ubuntu-server, vince__ [15:44] unless they like to eat babies with hot sauce [15:44] hydrogen, i use gtk, and it's not that horrible [15:44] Audacity functions well. [15:44] that's the trolling i'm talking about :P [15:45] vince__- you're going to have to do some configuring yourself. Apache doesn't do a whole lot with a default configuration [15:45] that would be like me saying "no one should use kde unless you're prepared to adjust a couple hundred settings just to change your desktop background [15:45] " [15:45] Daisuke_Ido: not quite [15:46] Couple hundred? [15:46] come now, let's not be drawn into flame-war [15:46] Daisuke_Ido: have you ever seen the gtk file dialog?? [15:46] C'mon, it's only something like 150 [15:46] thats enough to kill a weak hearted man [15:46] any file dialog that needs two thirds of my screen is doing something wrong [15:46] Anyone? [15:46] what are you running at, 640x480? [15:47] vince__ install ubuntu-server [15:47] vince__- you can install Apache, PHP, and a database through Adept [15:47] Maybeway36 Thanks [15:47] I don't think ubuntu-server is what you'd want [15:47] Dragnslcr: I know that but they arn't configured to work with each other that way. [15:48] Like I said, you'll have to configure something [15:48] Apache doesn't really do anything without configuration [15:48] PHP tends to have some fairly stupid default settings, too [15:48] Audacity is best,but i want a Audio Editor Specially for KDE that writting by QT(or Java!) [15:49] Daisuke_Ido: no, 1400x900.. thats why it's such a problem.. [15:49] mkargar, if audacity is best, stop being a twit and use it. [15:49] mkargar, google is your friend [15:49] And to be honest, you probably shouldn't be running a web server if you don't know how to configure it properly [15:49] I seem to remember a kaudiocreator [15:49] and that you would prefer JAVA over gtk... that boggles the mind [15:49] kaudiocreator is for ripping cds [15:49] Dragnslcr: With that logic no one would ever learn. Besides this isn't for a public server, It's for local development [15:50] well, thats well named! [15:50] very, like a lot of kde's software [15:50] (and software in general) [15:50] well [15:50] most software doesn't take one name [15:50] and do an entirely different thing [15:50] klibido - that's most obviously a usenet client [15:50] this is true [15:51] most are just obscure names, not deliberately misleading [15:51] krandr [15:51] vince__- okay, I'll amend my statement. You shouldn't be running a web server if you aren't willing to spend time learning how to configure it properly [15:52] Though I don't remember needing to do much configuration when I installed everything, other than vhosts for Apache and fixing some PHP settings [15:53] i think i'm one of the strange ones though, i don't care if it's gtk or qt as long as it gets the job done [15:54] No, that makes you one of the normal ones [15:54] I don't think I've ever seen anyone so violently opposed to GTK [15:54] Dragnslcr: I would agree.. If I were trying to run a public server [15:58] i'm not. Therefore I don't understand why someone dosen't just build a simple LAMP type install that would put in a basic LAMP that dosen't accept outside connections. Such things exist for windows. Perhaps i'll build a setup and make it avalible. Thanks for your help though :-) [15:58] I very very searched in Google!but...! [15:59] but! you'll probably end up using audacity! because as you yourself said, it's best! [15:59] Hm, is there no PDF editor kicking around anywhere? [16:00] would be nice [16:00] Yes,i should use the audacity!! [16:01] Dragnslcr: no, I don't think there is. It's something I've thought of writing myself but the PDF spec is *very* complicated. [16:01] just creating a reader must be flippin' difficult [16:01] Yeah [16:01] though OO.org will export to PDF. [16:01] All I'm really interested in is placing text fields [16:02] Filling out forms and stuff [16:02] what about scribus?

[20:30] when i try to copy links to clipboard links2 doesnt seem to copy them to the clipboard === pucko_ is now known as pucko- [20:30] Artimus: so, the answer is a big NO [20:31] emilsedgh: I know, and that's why the restricted manager is there (even if they legally could be enabled by default, they shouldn't be). It's just kind of painful for people on dialup to download them every install. [20:32] Artimus: im on dialup and my modem needs restricted drivers and its a pain for me to make it work without a connection (i have to download it using others computers), but i dont want anything non-free on the disc [20:33] emilsedgh: I don't see the problem with including them on the disk. They wouldn't be installed as part of core. Right now, the CDRom is added as an apt-get mirror. This way, the restricted manager could fetch them from the CD. [20:34] what's the command to restart networking from the command line? [20:34] Artimus: there are two problems.first is that they couldnt be supported by Ubuntu (and i dont care about this).but main problem (at least from my point of view) is that they are non-free.the official stuff from FOSS should NEVER contain ANYTHING non-free [20:36] Artimus: the hardware vendors are getting better and better.ATI opened up their specs and their 100% Free/Full Functional drivers are coming.NVIDIA will follow them i think (maybe not in near soon, but in a few years...) [20:36] emilsedgh: I fail to see the difference between "Program automatically pops up saying install this evil driver for better support, download from Ubuntu Servers" and "Program automatically pops up saying install this evil driver for better support, please insert CD" [20:36] also there is a project to create a fully functional driver for nvidia, but i dont know their status [20:37] Artimus: the differrence is that youre distrubuting a non-free thing... [20:37] They're distributing it regardless. [20:37] ok this is getting stupid now... i drag a window onto my other monitor and it disappears [20:37] also, people with dialup are not in a high priority [20:38] What's the difference between putting it on a CD and putting it on your own servers? Either way, you're offering it to them with the restricted manager [20:38] any pointers on manual install of sun-java5-jdk? essentially there's a bug in hardy (and gutsy) java installation that makes it unusable for development. [20:40] Artimus: well, i dindnt understand it too and it was confusing for me, but i dont know what happenned that i changed my mind ;) [20:40] hi all! [20:40] Artimus: but now if a distro gives something non-free, i want it go to hell :D [20:41] emilsedgh: closed source drivers suck. But they're not going away anytime soon. It seems stupid to download them on every box when they're basically there anyway. Restricted Manager already encourages the install. That's already against your non-free policy. Does it really hurt you to have an unused package on a CD? [20:41] Can you tell me why when I try to ping my router it doesn't give me any signals? [20:42] When I 'm on the live-cd and I try to ping the router it works, but when I ping it by kubuntu installed on the machine it doesn't work :/ [20:43] (I've set the internet configuration by pppoeconf) [20:43] Artimus: i doubt if there is an unused package on the disc...btw its important for me that my distro is a FOSS enthusiast or no [20:43] Markon: do you have to dail-in? [20:44] otherwise, do a sudo dhclient [20:44] emilsedgh: So you're saying the difference between FOSS enthusiast and evil is "Do I have to download it automagically from the internet instead of automagically from a cd"? [20:45] Artimus: no [20:45] !offtopic [20:45] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [20:45] Artimus: but i simply dont like my distro to contain something non-free. === paolo is now known as ping_luce [20:46] hi. how can i know the available space in dev/hdd ?? [20:47] df -h [20:47] emilsedgh - check out gobuntu [20:47] ping_luce: at a terminal, df -h will work. Otherwise, right click on the partition and hit properties. [20:47] Why is doplhin the new defualt filemanager? === markon_ is now known as Markon [20:48] sorry [20:48] thnks all [20:48] i know, gobuntu and and other one which is a GNU Project (gnewsys was its name i think).i have no problem with ubuntu now, but i never accept nvidia drivers on it [20:48] martijn81: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60786/ [20:48] sayers: Simplicity, probably. Konqueror is there as a webbrowser now. [20:48] emilsedgh: then you' re better off with sidux than kubuntu [20:48] I've done dhclient, and it gave it to me. [20:48] sayers: They share code, you can still just as easily use Konqueror for file browsing, that's not going away [20:49] Artimus: Well is doplhin have any nice new features? [20:49] maybe, all i want is a working kde :P [20:49] sayers: Very easy to get to split view, and there's a view similar to Mac OSX Finder. [20:49] emilsedgh: it comes with debian sid@ rolling release with kde 3.5.9 [20:49] sayers: "Less features" is why it was selected. For most people, Konqueror was overkill and slightly intimidating at times [20:49] if you update... [20:49] Artimus: Is it still better than nautilus when it comes to advanced features? [20:50] martijn81: so i have to give it a try ;) [20:50] So is 90% of kde apps then... [20:50] i would ;) [20:50] i use it myself [20:50] sayers: Wouldn't know. I'm not a GNOME type of person. [20:50] sayers: if you want advanced features, then konqueror is there for you.but what do you mean by advanced features? [20:50] emilsedgh: I'm not sure :) [20:50] sayers: Konqueror is going to be around and it will be able to do the same file browsing things for a long time [20:50] sayers: it supports multiple protocols (fish, ftp,etc) and has splitting feature [20:50] sayers: It uses a Dolphin KPart, meaning any changes to Dolphin will work in the Konqueror UI [20:50] ok this is seriously messed up now... the entire GUI has gone really laggy. it seems a bit more responsive if i use compiz+emerald but i dont see WHY? [20:51] Markon: page does not load here [20:51] Artimus: thats in 4, in 3 it uses differrent codebase than konqueror i think [20:51] Split view, easy ssh copy , organizng by type [20:51] sayers: yes it does all of them i think [20:52] emilsedgh: Sayers said dolphin, not d3lphin [20:52] oh, sorry then :) [20:52] emilsedgh: Still, probably was referring to KDE3's [20:53] dolphin in 4 is a differrent thing.it really rocks, i miss some of its features on konqueror [20:53] * martijn81 is eagerly waiting on composite effects in kde4 [20:54] yeah the new kde4 dolphin is nice, but the kde3 version sucks though [20:54] i just use konq [20:54] nosrednaekim, ok i have Xgl installed now but now that's taking up a lot of CPU time [20:54] me too, dolphin does not come with sidux [20:55] * emilsedgh too [20:55] silverblade: XGL isn't going to help anything... [20:59] martijn81: however I've solved that problem using firestarter. It seems it's a problem of iptables... bah..:/ [20:59] thank you ;) [20:59] bye! [20:59] Markon: iptables should be disabled by default [21:08] Hi all [21:08] hi Kubuntu-user [21:08] martijn81: iptables is enabled by default [21:08] !firewall [21:08] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [21:09] jussio1: ok, but the rules are empty right? [21:10] martijn81: IIRC, it allows things to listen on any port, but all ports start closed otherwise [21:10] nosrednaekim, ok, xgl now removed... im getting 95% cpu usage by xorg now [21:10] My kubuntu is freezing when i try to install it.amount of percentage when it is freezin is about15%this happends when i'm using ver6.10 [21:11] silverblade: that is so weird..... try moving your .kde to a temporary directory... [21:11] What i should do? [21:11] Kubuntu-user: did you manage to grab a copy of 7.10? [21:12] Kubuntu-user: I think support for edgy is pretty much up. [21:13] Kubuntu-user: best is to download 7.10 [21:13] nosrednaekim, done... problem still there :/ [21:13] Sorry i mean 7.10 [21:13] silverblade: you need to log back out... [21:14] i logged out, moved the directory, then logged back in [21:14] (ie i got back to the login screen then did ctrl+alt+f1 and logged in there) [21:20] Yesterday i was try to install7.04,the problem is that when i've 95%of installation progress my kubuntu was dawn [21:22] Today i was try to install once more kubuntu v.7.10 and it was no effect.15%and progress bar stops [21:23] !repeat [21:23] Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[22:12] yeah, you could instead say 'ohh, shiver me timbers sorry' [22:13] ok [22:13] I'm having what I believe is a HW problem and I need to order replacement parts. I've been having frequent system freezes. I tried reinstalling kubuntu and ubuntu, and during the graphical install, both completely freeze (including keyboard lock) -- I was able to install ubuntu using the alternate install CD, but it frequently froze while attempting to update the system. Do you think this could be a power problem or a video card [22:13] problem or something else? [22:14] shulman: when it freezes, is it a complete system lock? [22:14] can you ssh in? [22:14] shulman: hows the temp of ur stuff? [22:14] a video card fault wouldn't necessarily be indicated by temperature [22:14] although that would probably contribute to failure... [22:14] graft: however system freezing would [22:15] or could [22:15] if auto reboot is off [22:15] graft: system temp appears fine (~23C according ot the BIOS) -- it is a complete system lock as far as I can tell. the system stops entirely and nothing is entered into the error logs [22:15] 23C wow!!!! [22:15] yeah that's pretty damn cool [22:15] shulman: is it onboard video? can you pop in a new video card to test? [22:15] shulman: graft is saying, if u can ssh in, it could be video issue ... [22:16] to install XP as a virtual machine, which CD do i get: desktop or alternate ?? [22:16] no, if you can ssh in it's probably not a hardware fault in the video card [22:16] if you can ssh in it's probably a software issue [22:16] hrm... that's a good point. I didn't think about that. [22:16] shulman: do all the lights on ur keyboard flash? [22:17] shulman: also there are probably some memory test apps in the repository [22:17] graft: ur thinking bad ram ? [22:17] shulman: e.g. memtest86+ [22:17] yeah [22:18] shulman: do u have all the bios set to defaults ? [22:18] i'd test that in console mode, just to eliminate that option [22:18] graft: -- I ran the memory test on the Ubuntu CD with no problems [22:18] shulman: will live CD run without a prob, i.e. you can surf and do whatever... [22:18] I do not have the bios set to the defaults... I set the system up about a year ago. THe reason I was suspecting power problems was because the system is very drive heavy -- I have 6 SATA drives in there. [22:18] ahoo.. well then i'd try to test out your video somehow... i'm not familiar with any specific tools for testing video memory and so on [22:19] wow [22:19] shulman: easy way to find out is to pull one of the drives power..... [22:19] shulman: or pull all except 1 [22:19] the Live CD GUIs tend to boot up with problems. They'll fritz out on start up but come back. Both did OK until the actuall installation got halfway throgh [22:20] how to uninstall a program that was installed through a .RUN file, so the program isn't in the Synaptic... [22:20] hrm... what kind of power failure would you suspect? The only power failures i've had is fans on the power supply failing [22:20] artur_: delete the directory where its installed [22:20] which, assuming it's not a dell, you can test just by swapping out the power supply [22:20] how do I make the channel list appear on the side in konversation?

[22:22] graft: The main reason I was suspecting power supply was because of the fact that it tends to happen when it's writing to a drive (I've switched out the drive, so I'm fairly sure it's not the disk HW) [22:22] im trying to burn a dvd using k3b and its writing at 0.70x... this has been the case with 2 dvd writers now. whats the problem [22:23] shulman: bad cable wiring? [22:23] graft: what do you mean? [22:23] sata cable issues suck .. [22:23] dunno exactly, never had that particular problem... but, some sort of mechanical failure in your SATA cable [22:24] or, worse, on your MB somewhere en route to that SATA connection [22:24] argh... I hate HW. [22:24] yeh [22:24] shulman: seriously, if you think its a power issue, you should be able to remove devices (HD's /usb) etc to stop draining power [22:25] shulman: your bios "may" have a screen showing your voltages as well....

It makes hardware transfer data faster, and is almost always enabled in Ubuntu 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA [22:25] fuhreal: I'll try that... I'll pull 5 drives from the power system. Right now I just installed ssh server and I'll start another install to see if the theory holds. [22:26] shulman: before you install, check ur voltages in ur bios [22:26] jussi01, nope, i checked that already [22:26] shulman: if they are horribly wrong, then there is no point trying again until u pop in a new power supply .. rght? [22:26] good point. Luckily I have a laptop, or else I'd really be SoL for this :-) [22:27] shulman: hehe .... if ur in the US you can pick up a sweet levno R61 or was it t61 shipped for 499 :P [22:27] lenovo i meant [22:28] probably the R61 [22:28] i can't imagine a T61 being that cheap [22:28] I grabbed this T42 for $250 ... i'm so happy with the purchase ...

[22:37] khbeta: Do you have Pidgin? [22:37] khbeta: IMO it's a lot better than kopete [22:38] 2 questions: 1. at what time of the day/night is doning Keep its backup // 2. Is Keep still the default user backup-app in Hardy or is it replaced???! [22:38] benbread: i dont have it, prefer to avoid gnome stuff where possible. didn't want to use kmess either because it lacks webcam support as far as i know === theo_ is now known as jeroen- [22:39] khbeta: It's not gnome [22:39] sorry I had the wrong name: again: [22:39] jussio1: just installed from the system manager [22:39] 2 questions: 1. at what time of the day/night is doning Keep its backup // 2.

I have 2 soundcards installed in my Kubuntu system. When I first set everything up it worked fine with my Skype calls going to my headset and my system sounds going to the main speaker. When I restarted however it seems to have messed it all up and now everything comes out from the headset. I've tried looking at the Also Documentation on the WIKI and also checked allmighty google but I can't seem [22:46] to find a clear explination on how to make this stuff stick. Anyone here that can help? [22:48] vince__: I have exactly the same problem on one of my other machines, so far all i've worked out is you can run alsaconf just to set up the soundcard you want on each boot [22:48] vince__: you should be able to direct the system sounds to any sound device in the sound system settings area [22:49] and check the system services, there is a script that should run on boot to reset volume levels and such [22:49] perhaps it's not running, or it is and doesn't know about multiple sound devices [22:49] tin: The only thing I can find is Sound Devices but all it tells me is ASLA, OSS , NO IN OUT etc [22:50] I can't find anywhere where I can specify a specific device [22:50] maybe the override device selection box [22:50] device location* [22:50] tin: Right but what do I type in there? [22:51] benbread: I tried to run alsaconf and got a command not found error [22:52] as root [22:52] try 'alsactl names' [22:52] vince__, I've had problems like that when upgrading alsa for example.. I assume you set the sound in skype somewhere, and just need to change the default-sound-card for kde. [22:52] Pucko: Yes sir [22:52] benbread: No joy [22:53] pucko-: yeah, problem is that the sound system control panel doesn't know much about alsa, and so doesn't enumerate the devices for you [22:53] vince__, asoundconf list [22:53] ^^ [22:53] vince__: That's very weird - sudo apt-get install alsaconf ? [22:53] vince__, then asoundconf set-default-card [22:53] Ok [22:53] i knew there was a command to find the names [22:53] Says it has nForce2 UART au8830 [22:53] nForce is the card my headset goes too [22:53] au8830 I think is the main card [22:54] dunno what UART is [22:54] Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter IIRC [22:54] it's the MIDI port most likely [22:54] doesn't hurt to try. I assume the settings will stick after rebooting, at least for your user. but you might want to read the manpage... [22:54] benbread : couln't find package alsaconf [22:56] Ok Picky I popped that command in [22:56] i think alsaconf is in alsa-utils or such, but asoundconf should do the trick and it's past of the base alsa [22:56] Sound is still comming out my headset [22:56] oh wait [22:56] Duh Might help if I told it to use the other sound card LOL [22:57] Still no joy [22:57] au8830, that's an oldish card eh? Aureal VortexOrSomething [22:57] tin: Yea... It was working fine before the reboot though [22:57] might I need to reset the sound server? [22:57] Hello. What package do I need to install to enable mounting an nfs share? [22:57] so the headset is plugged to the mainboard's onboard plug, and the speakers or on the add-on card [22:58] tin Correct.. [22:58] vince__: yeah, you might try restarting artsd [22:58] Ok I know this sounds dumb, How do I do that from CLI [22:58] ? [22:59] vince__, perhaps you could try sudo invoke-rc.d alsa-utils restart [23:00] !java [23:00] 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. [23:01] pucko: Done sound still comming from the wrong card [23:02] oh :/ [23:03] i'd think that should do it. hate to say it, but try rebooting :) [23:04] I don't understand why I can't just go to a system config and select what card I want... The mixer lets me pick between the two [23:04] I love Linux but stuff like this just really puts me off [23:04] alright i'll try rebooting and BRB to let you know what happens :-) [23:04] me too. [23:05] vince__: you may have to restart artsd to get kde's sound system... [23:05] nm [23:05] oh, yeah. i figured he'd try that already [23:05] tried [23:09] And Back [23:09] All seems good now [23:09] Skypes going out the headset and system junks going out the mains. [23:09] all good then :) [23:10] vince__: good work! [23:10] I wonder why it required a whole system restart though, I woulda figured reloading the sound server woulda realoaded the configs... But oh well.. Can't argue with success LOL [23:10] i think you just needed to restart artsd, which a reboot did [23:10] Thanks for your help [23:10] probably [23:10] vince__: you the guy I was helping earlier with pclinuxOS? [23:11] you reloaded alsa, for the system, but kde runs its own sound server called arts [23:11] norednaekim: Nope... I was in here earlier trying to get a LAMP dev enviorment install but thats it [23:11] ah, ok ... nother guy called vince;) [23:11] tin: Ahhh that woulda prolly been it thenb [23:12] ok it seems amarok and kaffeine both cannot play .wav [23:12] they hang when i try to [23:12] thing is, i don't see an easy way to restart artsd being manually sending it a HUP signal or logging off and back [23:12] silverblade: fixed your X problem? [23:13] yep. [23:13] tin: That maybe so but its not any more agrivating than requiring a windows reboot. Im more irked about the lack of a GUI interface for this kinda thing [23:13] nvidia driver issue [23:13] tin: you can restart it in system settings [23:13] silverblade: what was the problem? [23:13] ah [23:13] i had to upgrade nvidia driver and disable xinerama [23:13] there was a bug? [23:13] think so [23:14] silverblade: alright, now, for this wav... you sure its good? i.e. does it play elsewhere? [23:14] ive not had wave playing on linux for a couple of years now [23:14] both on Gentoo and Kubuntu [23:15] XMMS didnt work, Amarok and Kaffeine both hang [23:15] mp3s play fine [23:15] .wav's have allways worked... are you sure they are good .wav's? [23:15] definitely. [23:15] what soundcard? [23:15] vince__: yeah, kde's current sound system is a bit dated [23:16] they play fine in Media Player on Windows, and on my portable media player. [23:16] but kde4's phonon system sounds very excellent [23:16] onboard nvidia nforce chipset one, not sure [23:16] I can add a second panel but it doesn't show up in the configure panel window - how can I get to use it? [23:16] and theyre wavs ive created mp3s from [23:18] ere4si: you need to restart kicker, run "dcop kicker kicker restart" [23:18] ere4si: or just log out and back in [23:18] ohh - thnx nosrednaekim :) [23:18] silverblade: thats very weird.... what about trying to create your own wav and playing it? [23:19] i create my own wavs. [23:19] thats what im saying. [23:19] i record a wav, i save it, i cant play it on Linux [23:19] no wavs at all. [23:19] regardless of where they have come from [23:20] they all hang Amarok, Kaffeine and XMMS [23:20] how do you record them? [23:20] theyre usually either exported from a music program in Windows, recorded using Audacity, or recorded on a portable audio recorder. [23:22] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=625518 - this person seems to have had similar problem [23:23] wow.... could you DCC a small one to me (<1MB) [23:23] me too :) [23:24] hum, what we need is a nice command line player and see what the gives as errors... [23:24] vlt: You need nfs-common to be installed for mounting NFS shares. [23:24] i dont have any small ones [23:24] "playsound" works from command line. [23:25] and it PLAYS them?

[23:28] ...ok xmms works [23:28] Does anyone know of a good GUI front end for MySQL? I used HeidiSQL on windows and was hoping for something simmilar. [23:28] To be more correct: Can I define Konqueror's refresh interval for *mounted* nfs shares somewhere? [23:32] where is menu.lst located? [23:32] WeaponX, /boot [23:32] oh crap [23:32] sorry [23:32] wrong cahnnel [23:32] i wanted to ask in windows [23:33] sorry [23:33] windows has one? O_o [23:33] i dont know, apperently grub bootloader installs one [23:33] and grub comes default with kubuntu install right [23:33] ?
