[00:00] the type am try to extract is rar ... not had probs with it before [00:01] cannon: sudo apt-get install rar unrar [00:01] nonewmsgs: a2ps worked .. so how do i get opera to work? [00:01] k [00:01] chalcedony: won't it start? [00:02] dwidmann: she wants to print [00:02] ah [00:02] yey, i can watch movies again! :D [00:02] thanks algyz [00:02] ;) [00:02] If you've got cups setup opera should be able to print using cups ....... worked for me without any additional work, hmmm [00:03] dwidmann: she had some problem from priter sharing that recently stopped working [00:04] dwidmann: it did work.. my husband wants the new printer to print BOTH sides of the paper.. [00:04] * dwidmann nods [00:04] hmmm, pizza, linux and a movie! :) [00:05] chalcedony: did and still does? or is it related to switching the duplex option that makes it not work? [00:05] cannon: also I'd prefer install karchiver, good thing to manage with archives [00:06] Ark would be awesome if it had a better UI and was more stable ..... [00:07] i'll look into it :) [00:09] dwidmann: chull is my husband, we had an HP 7210 .. that worked [00:09] we got the HP L 7780 [00:10] it is supposed to print both and single sided documents and print from both the upper and lower trays [00:10] so it has to have somewhere to tell it that [00:11] HP_L7780 Properties lists two possible names [00:11] IPP Printer or printer on CUPS server (IPP) and [00:12] TCP/Socket, HP JetDirect, Raw connection .. which shows port 9100 [00:12] that one did print .. at least from a2ps [00:13] the CUPS does not print at all [00:13] or maybe only the test page [00:13] hmm, if it can handle the test page it should do the rest :s [00:14] nonewmsgs dwidmann ? [00:14] at least single sided ........ [00:14] hmm [00:14] which is why i suggested testing it under gedit [00:14] openprinting.org says the HP L7700 should be supported [00:14] i should have something on gedit open somewhere [00:14] nonewmsgs: or kate, no reason to install gedit :) [00:15] no she uses gnome [00:15] her husband uses K [00:15] opposites attract ;) [00:15] :s [00:15] weird couple [00:15] linux is so wonderful .. everyone can have lots of individual choices [00:15] also odd choice of channel, swiitching off on the same nick? Ah, that must be it .... I think [00:16] indeed [00:16] don't you love freenode's making nicks link ? [00:16] i like this chanel better than #ubuntu. it has the right amount of joking around and number of people to help [00:17] sometimes that other one gets to be quite a fustercluck [00:17] nonewmsgs: agreed [00:17] * dwidmann gets yelled at more than enough for joking around half the time [00:17] dwidmann: *hug* [00:18] i'm waiting for gedit to let me put a filename [00:18] graphics load slowly [00:18] * chalcedony likes vim [00:19] yay vim! [00:19] * nonewmsgs no wonder she [00:19] s taken [00:20] Does apt have a changelog feature? [00:20] e.g. apt-cache changelog wesnoth [00:20] charwood: A changelog? Well, the package should at the least, check /usr/share/doc/...... [00:20] charwood: , oh that .... hmmm [00:21] don't think it does [00:21] dwidmann: :) [00:21] Well it should. (-8 That'd be hot. Ok. Thanks dwidmann [00:22] charwood: aptitude does [00:22] dwidmann: Interesting. Aptitude alledgedly rocks. I should probably investigate it more. [00:23] in printing jobs i have a list of jobs that it Stopped: job-stopped [00:23] Oh wow. "%aptitude changelog wesnoth" does exactly what you'd want it to. That's tremendous. [00:23] charwood: that's a war that usually ends up 50-50 as far as I've seen [00:24] dwidmann: I imagine so. Well I have no particular beef with apt. It may not be perfect, but in my book it pretty much wins the "how things should be installed" game. [00:25] charwood: agreed [00:26] Ok. Here's another since this channel is on a roll thus far. Is there any way to get dolphin to display MIME types such that one can sort by them? [00:28] dwidmann: nonewmsgs i deleted all the spare jobs and tried printing from both settings.. it's showing Printing: job printing ... but nothing gets printed. [00:28] charwood: like sort by type? Dolphin definitely, D3lphin, not so sure [00:28] that's on TCP/Socket, HP Jet Direct, Raw connectino [00:28] charwood: dolphin also has a nice filter feature [00:29] (don't think d3lphin does) [00:29] you know.. i discoverd that my husband's version of xchat automatically brings up the log of the previous conversation! [00:30] chalcedony: check /var/log/cups for errors maybe? [00:30] (or similar) [00:31] dwidmann: umm what am i looking for there? [00:31] chalcedony: think that's a dir, there can be a file called "error_log[.#.gz]" [00:32] or something like that [00:32] error_log.7.gz [00:32] if there's anything in the error_log then that's probably a sign of BAD. [00:32] and error_log.1-7 [00:32] error_log should be the most recent, the gz are archived errors [00:32] dwidmann: I see. So d3lphin is the KDE 3.5 version? I think you're right that it does not have sort by type but it does have a filter (perhaps not as snazzy as dolphin's?) [00:33] /var/log/cups$ less error_log.7.gz [00:33] error_log.7.gz: Permission denied [00:33] /var/log/cups$ [00:33] does chroot work on the live cd? [00:33] i keep getting exec error [00:33] charwood: dolphins is indeed very snazzy, but the one in d3lphin should work fine if its there ... one simple use might be to type in the extension, not as good as checking by mimetype, but still not too bad [00:34] jimmy51vinsky: well, if you're chrooting into a 64-bit system it has to be a 64-bit live cd, other than that, chrooting will work fine in pretty much all cases [00:34] dwidmann: Yes. Thank you once more. Have a nice evening (well, it's evening here anyway). [00:34] charwood: you're welcome, and I will do [00:36] chalcedony: realistically I'm only trying to point you in the right direction so you can find somebody super smart and/or file a bug report .... I probably won't be able to decipher much with regards to the logs, anyhow, don't forget to use sudo :) [00:37] dwidmann: having someone to talk to helps a LOT [00:37] my son moved to texas and is being paid lots of money for his time [00:37] he never did like tech support [00:38] chalcedony: I agree that it helps quite a lot ..... most of the time when I have a problem it falls on deaf ears though :( [00:39] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=168231 does this at all relate to my problem? [00:39] dwidmann: stick around .. there are usually people somewhere [00:41] chalcedony: 1/5 of the time I can generally get help, 2/5 of the time I slap myself in the forehead for being an idiot, and the rest of the time I'm outta luck ... [00:41] chalcedony: it might relate to your problem, what did your logs say? [00:42] chull: dwidmann : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62788/ [00:42] uh... oops [00:42] * jimmy51vinsky was using a 32 bit cd :) [00:42] jimmy51vinsky: :) [00:42] on 64 bit? [00:42] is it possible to have a seperate taskbar on the bottom and a menubar at the top just like gnome in kde? [00:43] jimmy51vinsky: that would do it .... I personally like systemrescue cd ..... has both of the kernels on the disk :) [00:44] b4l74z4r: should be, yeah [00:45] right click the panel, go to add new panel [00:45] dwidmann: chull: this is the ongoing errors on printing from gedit: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62789/ [00:46] initial error: [00:46] (gedit:3449): GnomePrint-WARNING **: Could not create filter from description 'GnomePrintFilterSelect': filter 'GnomePrintFilterSelect' is unknown [00:46] (gedit:3449): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance [00:46] chalcedony: try gunzipping the files, and the lessing them with root privileges (some of those logs are probably unviewable without root privileges or lpadmin group) [00:46] ** or lp group [00:48] chalcedony: (ie: perms are like, 540 for some of the files), owned by root, group lp or lpadmin depending on the file [00:49] dwidmann, "Unable to start a standalone server: Address already in use" ..trying out pure-ftpd [00:49] BluesKaj: stop pro-ftpd before you try to start pure-ftpd [00:49] BluesKaj: they don't get along [00:49] yeah I removed it [00:50] altho it's still listed in system services , but it's not running [00:50] BluesKaj: any other ftpds running? hmmmm, maybe some of the confifguring from pro-ftpd is overriding things that pure-ftpd would look to for defaults or something? [00:51] "error_log.7.gz" may be a binary file. See it anyway? [00:51] /var/log/cups$ [00:51] chalcedony: that's why I said to try unzipping it first [00:51] ahh [00:51] <-- little old ladyi [00:52] chalcedony: 'sok, I tried the same thing [00:53] root@marcus:/var/log/cups# gunzip error_log.1.gz [00:53] root@marcus:/var/log/cups# less error_log.1.gz [00:53] error_log.1.gz: No such file or directory [00:53] root@marcus:/var/log/cups# [00:53] chalcedony: come to think of it, I started running into big trouble with my printer after grabbing upgrades from gutsy-update/gutsy-security/gutsy-backports (one of those) .... stock gutsy worked fine with my HP C5280 for everything I needed [00:53] chalcedony: did it rename it error_log.1? [00:53] hmmmm [00:53] whatever he did made mine not work [00:53] it *was* working [00:55] chalcedony: try popping in a livecd and see if it works then, if it does then there are a handful of bugreports with potential fixes that I think I saw, but I looked at that after wiping it and putting the stock gutsy back on (have to have my working printer afterall) [01:10] wow that pproftpd is like doodoo on a blanket , can't get rid of it ...uninstalled with synaptic , sudo rm -rf where/file/was installed , ...you name it ...it's still listed in system services, altho not running ..unreal [01:11] BluesKaj: try sudo dpkg --purge pro-ftpd ?? [01:12] dwidmann, says it's not installed [01:12] (note: purge gets rid of the confs, which I'm sure you know, but it should also clear out the trail it left too [01:12] BluesKaj: guess you already purged it then [01:13] but there's still this file /usr/share/app-install/desktop/gproftpd [01:13] BluesKaj: think it's a seperate package though isn't it? [01:13] Where is the settings for automatic turn off screen for a laptop? Mine turns off after like 10 minutes, but I don't want it to. [01:14] oloughlin75: right click the desktop and go to configure, I think there's a setting for it in the screensaver screen .... appart from that try looking in systemsettings -> monitor & display [01:14] anyway dwidmann , i'm still getting the 'address in use' error [01:15] What does google have to say about that error BluesKaj? [01:15] dwidmann: Screensaver is off, system settings modules won't load [01:16] oloughlin75: incomplete upgrade? [01:16] It is updating, I will try in a minute [01:17] Ah I must have missed the power saving when I looked before. [01:17] Thanks dwidmann [01:17] dwidmann: i gave up and phoned son.. his apartment complex was hit by a tornado last night.. he said he will poke the printer maybe tonight .. ill email him, is there anything i should tell him? [01:17] you're welcome oloughlin75 [01:19] chalcedony: if you've looked at the cups error logs (ie: gunzipped them and read them as root), including any error message that seems constant. Apart from that, have you tried doing it on the livecd yet? If that works then it was a problem with one of the upgraded packages. Poor him though, Tornadoes and houses don't play well together. [01:19] dwidmann: i forgot about the live cd.. let me ask my husband ty for reminding me :) [01:20] dwidmann: never mind he's asleep .. i sure don't want to close all my stuff and reboot this. [01:20] Anyhow ....... I really need to get to bed, I need to wake up at 3:00am tomorrow [01:20] ouch! [01:20] dwidmann: i'll do it .. when he's awake [01:21] dwidmann: have a great night [01:21] chalcedony: indeed, but I am somewhat used to it at least [01:21] Will do [01:21] night [01:21] :) [01:21] sleep well [01:21] thanks === evalles_ is now known as effie_jayx [01:27] My system errored while trying to configure libc6 for Hardy beta and now every solution I've tried tells me to run 'apt-get -f install'... which redisplays the error about failing to configure libc6.

[01:44] !root [01:44] Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [01:44] cannon: you want to change root's passwd? [01:44] no, don't change me! [01:44] xD [01:44] LOL! [01:44] yeah [01:45] another page to bookmark :) [01:45] no kmix is running still no audio [01:45] cannon: you did not activate the root account did you? [01:45] i have no idea [01:46] but the sudo password is the same as my cannon user [01:46] yeah [01:46] should be [01:46] i have 2 others that use ssh [01:46] anybody here familar with software raid? [01:46] so if I change cannon's pass would it change sudo's too? [01:47] cannon: everyone in the admin groups can use sudo with their own passwd [01:47] look for the sudoers file [01:47] sudo is a very flexiable system. YOu could set up specific commands thta specific users could do via sudo. if you wanted to [01:48] Dr_willis: I prefer sudo -s then just do what I need too instead of typing sudo everytime heh [01:48] Is there any way to mount a virtualbox hard drive? [01:48] cause usually I am doing stupid stuff for quite a while heh [01:48] SlicerDicer, i tend to use 'sux' [01:48] right now I am trying to figure out whats going on with my raid heh [01:48] but that wasent what he was asking bout.. :) [01:49] I am not paying too much attention :) [01:49] sorry [01:49] when i try to run amarok i get an error [01:49] xine failed to initialize any audio drivers [01:50] any way i can make xine initialize audio drivers?

[02:27] I love debian..but need to work with kubuntu in my project.. [02:27] :D [02:27] <_ZeuZ_> why the need? If Kubuntu, and any Ubuntu, is based on Debian ;) [02:28] i have an intel celeron 32bit. I want to download and install kubuntu 7.10 and have not just a boot disk. how do i know which to get off http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/gutsy/ ? [02:28] yes..but the kubuntu kernel it's newer [02:28] I the packages also.. [02:28] and* [02:28] you want the 7.10 i386 package [02:28] desktop [02:29] http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/gutsy/kubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso [02:29] intel = i386, desktop = most users, alternative is for like server install or with additional obscure programs [02:30] thanx root [02:30] my dsitro will bee instaled in quad cores..I alredy install the ubuntu 7.10 in one..and have to upgrade to the development version cause o problens.. [02:30] greeg, no probs. =] [02:30] amd 64bit = amd64 obviously. xD [02:31] rootlinuxusr: will this boot into a desktop environment and then install from there? [02:31] ey im tryin to get kubuntu installed here and whenever i reboot after installation, i get a grub error 15, it goes to the grub menu but then i get the error 15, i looked in my menu.lst and it points to the right files, any other ideas? [02:31] it'll boot to a desktop where there will be an install icon on the desktop [02:31] yes [02:31] <_ZeuZ_> No, it's not newer. [02:31] what else do you have installed? [02:31] <_ZeuZ_> You can install the kernel you wany. [02:32] <_ZeuZ_> Bugs, that's crap. You can have that kernel, if you move to Debian SID, which Ubuntu is based on. [02:32] <_ZeuZ_> Along with the versions of the DEB packages that are there [02:32] Hi. I've tried asking on #kontact, but the channel seems to be dead. I'm trying to change the background color of Kontact by using the color configurator in the KDE3 control panel. It doesn't seem to be working: http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/2804/snapshotaw3.jpg [02:33] In the mentioned picture, you can see kontact on the left, and another application that has the desired theme on the right. [02:33] I've noticed that a few other applications have the same issues. [02:33] <_ZeuZ_> Wiii!! Me = Happy, downloading the 22mb torrent with the new Imageshack system... [02:33] yes..I can compile the kernel..but and when someone want to install the Nvidia driver by the ubuntu repository and it dont work? [02:33] And they're all KDE3 apps. (Yes, I realize that I'm using KDE4 at present) [02:34] anyone know why i cant get a good reboot off a fresh install? [02:34] <_ZeuZ_> you do not need to [02:34] <_ZeuZ_> you can have a precompiled one. [02:34] <_ZeuZ_> And same for the propietary drivers of nVidia. [02:34] kkerwin: are there kontact specific settings? [02:34] humm [02:34] (there easily could be, amarok has its own) [02:34] anybody know how to get gfire working in pidgin? [02:34] _ZeuZ_, getting torentfiles over imageshack? :) [02:35] <_ZeuZ_> Dr_willis, tor.imageshack or something like that xD [02:35] <_ZeuZ_> works amazingly well [02:35] <_ZeuZ_> the new is on torrent freak [02:35] http://tor.imageshack.us/tor/ [02:35] <_ZeuZ_> and that's the link I pasted to rootlinuxusr 5 minutes ago xD [02:35] nosrednaekim: Not that seem to allow configuration of the window background. Care to give it a second look for me? [02:36] yes [02:36] <_ZeuZ_> Wonder if they allow resuming downloads... [02:36] well..see you boys.. thanks a lot !! I will be here again.. [02:36] kkerwin: settings->appearnce->colors? [02:36] <_ZeuZ_> (from the direct ones) [02:36] i keep gettin a grub error 15 anyone got any idea what thats about? [02:37] <_ZeuZ_> I'm out guys, take care, and do not abuse of Imageshacks tor! [02:37] <_ZeuZ_> xD [02:37] too late [02:37] nosrednaekim: Yes, but it doesn't seem to have an option for the window background. [02:38] i have no idea what grub error 15 is but i have someone who does [02:38] kkerwin: you are in kde4? [02:38] http://www.google.com/search?q=grub+error+15&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a [02:38] nosrednaekim: Yes. [02:38] already workin through that [02:38] kkerwin: try restarting kde4.... the kde3 settings might not reset or something [02:38] <_ZeuZ_> That's it, gotta sleep some before this kills me... g'night boys [02:39] nosrednaekim: Ok. Will do. Thank you, yet again, for your help on this. :-) [02:40] ok [02:41] rootlinuxusr: turns out i have burned that iso you suggested. i thought it was a boot disk (similar to knoppix), but there was a message stating a block error (probobly a scratch on the cd), but it booted to the desktop. is that 1 logical block error a big deal? [02:41] !puregnome [02:41] If you want to remove all !KDE packages and have a default !Ubuntu system follow the instructions here << http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome >> [02:41] is it safe to proceed with installation ?

[02:42] or if nothing else, try installing it via virtualbox [02:42] set that as a virtually mounted CD [02:42] either that or clean the disk [02:43] nosrednaekim: No luck. Also, plasma crashed as I closed down KDE4, and now I can't get my taskbar to load. -sigh- [02:43] 0.o [02:48] nosrednaekim: Ok. First off, how do I get my taskbar back? [02:49] kkerwin: right click on panel->add applet->drag taskbar to panel [02:49] nosrednaekim: Pardon. The panel, not the taskbar, is gone. [02:49] kkerwin: 0.o [02:49] woah [02:50] Ok. Apparently that's not supposed to happen ... [02:50] no... [02:50] kkerwin: erase your plasmarc [02:50] kkerwin, yeah kde4 panel is very confusing to me ...doesn't seem to follow the same rules as kde3 [02:51] kkerwin: plasma-appletsrc that is [02:51] BluesKaj: Ya. That's what I'm concluding. [02:51] nosrednaekim: K. [02:51] in .kde4/share/config [02:51] can anybody tell me what the problem might be when nero or k3b won't work right [02:51] nero is a windows app [02:52] nosrednaekim: Ok. That seemed to do it. [02:52] my roommate uses it in linux [02:52] yeah, but nero for linux is not worth the effort [02:53] Ok. Now if I can just figure out the color-scheming in kontact. [02:53] what are you trying to do ncfi1013 ? [02:53] hello, is anyone else noticing that some variants for adobe professional fonts don't show up in kcontrol's font configuration module? for instance, i don't see the condensed and expanded versions of adobe myraid pro in the font style list [02:53] this is in kde 3.5.9, by the way [02:54] just burn movies on my harddrive onto a disk [02:55] run the apps from a terminal, look for error messages. [02:55] ncfi1013, avi files , divx. xvid ? [02:55] all of them [02:55] whats 'not working right' even mean.... [02:55] k3b last i checked did not convert avi to dvd video format. to make dvd video disks. [02:56] i dident think nero for linux did either. [02:56] when i make the playlist to burn and put in a blank disc the burn option is grayed out [02:56] You are putting avi/video files in the playlist? [02:57] yes [02:57] the playlist is just for audio/mp3 audio cd's i thought. [02:57] as files not movies [02:57] try other normal files? [02:57] Dr_willis, divx & xvid /avi files can be burned to dvd by using the data dvd option in k3b. Mos tnewer stand alone player will play them . [02:57] hello everyone, i am new to kubuntu and i got no sound i can see the speaker on the taskbas but it is marked with an X and says mixer cannot be found, anyone can help? [02:57] BluesKaj, yep. But thats not the same as a dvd video. :) [02:58] juan_: yes, what sound chipset do you have? [02:58] BluesKaj, sounds like his setup isent seeing the cd/dvd burners/disks. so not letting it start a burn [02:58] well Dr_willis , he didn't specify :) [02:58] nosrednaekim: when i used another distro live cd it installled like HDA something... i think it is a realtek... not sure [02:58] BluesKaj, yep.. we have to have ESP+10 in this channel [02:58] I think he's using the wrong options in k3b [02:58] !intelHDA [02:58] For fixing your Intel HDA sound this page has useful information https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HdaIntelSoundHowto [02:58] my roommate suggests that i get a new cd/dvd burner drive [02:59] Hi all, [02:59] i suggest running kd3 from a console and look for error messages. Its possible thers some odd permission issue preventing you from accessing the burner right [03:00] you could as a test. try running k3b with 'sudo k3b' [03:00] ncfi1013, what's the file extension that your trying burn and what option are you choosing in k3b to do so ? [03:00] Dr_willis: in that case, maybe kdesu is more appropriate [03:01] You did select 'new data cd' or 'new data dvd' instead of 'new audio cd' i hope. :) [03:01] So I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04. Everything is working properly (after a few apt-get fixes) except that the Nvidia-restricted drivers aren't working. Is there a fix for this or do I just need to wait for further updates? [03:01] ncfi1013, You are just wanting to make normal 'data' dvd's to archive the avi files rigth? [03:02] he's consulting with his roomate , the linux guy who uses nero [03:03] thats a scary statement.. :) [03:03] but i gotta run to work. [03:03] bye all........... [03:05] Or should I say: has anyone else had this problem with the beta? [03:06] this the output when i run k3b from the terminal: [03:06] http://pastebin.org/pastebin.php?dl=28905 [03:10] I'm trying to get a Kubuntu computer to use a printer on a XP computer.

[03:44] great [03:45] Thanks for letting me know. I'll probably be back on asking for questions. [03:46] g'evening all...have a difficult question someone asked me earlier today that I don't even understand...out of my league [03:46] dennister: ask away [03:46] "How difficult would it be for you to create a boot disk to boot linux into a telnet terminal? The IP address can be fixed." [03:47] <------has never even seen a telnet terminal [03:47] dennister: I'm not sure the person actually knows what he's asking [03:47] dennister: open console and type in 'telnet' [03:47] folks afterupgrading my firefox is completelling broken with erros of assertion failed anyone had the same problem? [03:48] Frederick: nope... try updating again? [03:48] epimeth_: exactly...hardware technician who really understands hardware, windows, etc., but not linux at all [03:48] dennister: you or the person who asked? [03:49] can try but not the case [03:49] epimeth_: k...i'm in some kind of dialogue ...telnet> [03:49] epimeth_: the person who asked me this question ^^^ i put i quotes [03:49] dennister: you have now seen a telnet client :-) [03:50] dennister: telnet is an application for opening tcp connections [03:51] lol...yes, but i have a linux box...his terminals he's talking about are probably not linux boxes...winblows people think in terms of boot disks (floppies); linux people think in terms of booting with livecd's [03:51] dennister: telnet is the same anywhere [03:53] yes, i'm sure it is, and i know it's ancient (not secure, either)...what his client probably has is a bunch of dumb terminals with only a floppy drive, attached to a server...is there a linux distro that can be run from a floppy? [03:53] how dumb are the terminals? [03:55] i'm just trying to figure out how to answer him ...i have no idea how dumb they are...i think i'll phone him tomorrow and aska few pertinent questions...he mentioned there might be some $ in it for me to make such a boot disk.......he also has a new mobo for me :) [03:57] dennister: all he has to do is install linux on the server and open up telnet access [03:57] dennister: it is disabled by default because, as you say, it is unsecure [03:57] dennister: really, there is not much difference between "telnetting" into a box and "sshing" to a box, except for that ssh is secure [03:58] dennister: no boot disk, no nothing [03:58] yes...unless there's some corporate rule against this...heck, it could be connected to a mainframe you cannot install linux onto...i just thought some more [03:59] some more knowledgeable telnet-knowledgeable networking people in the channel could help me clarify the questions I'll be asking him [04:00] epimeth_: thanks === alucardromero_ is now known as alucardromero [04:01] Question: How do list the all user accounts on my box through cmdline? [04:02] look. telnet is an application for creating a tcp connection to a service. the same way you can access multiple tty's with ctrl+f1-6, you can access a terminal through telnet if you enable it [04:02] oh.. he's gone [04:02] anybody know if there's a way to modify the output of the clock applet?

[04:03] course, that can cause other problems, but it shouldn't [04:03] the next version, that is currently in beta [04:03] juan_: those instructions are exactly what any of us would tell you to do [04:03] epimeth_: All user accounts [04:04] yeah but how do i install my headers? >_< whats a headers ? :O [04:04] i dont understand this >> Install your kernel headers <<< [04:05] Diarrhea rocks! :) [04:05] juan_, are you running Gutsy? if yes, which architecture?

[04:38] calcmandan: what was the command you executed? [04:39] epimeth_: it was from kgpg. not from konsole. [04:39] oh [04:39] ummm [04:39] i thought maybe i needed to use kdesu to generate the key, but that didn;'t make sense. [04:39] dunno... are you rydan? [04:40] yea, it doesn't [04:40] yes, rydan is the computer. [04:41] the computer? [04:41] not the user? [04:41] well, i meant it's this computer. rydan is the user. [04:41] hmm, maybe i need to add gpg group [04:42] it should probably have done that on install [04:42] nope. no such group. [04:42] how did you install? [04:42] apt repo. [04:43] i wish i could've just downloaded my last public key before i wiped the drive. [04:44] you lost your private key? [04:45] i forgot to back it up.

[04:47] thanks [04:47] the description he gave the dude was exactly what i did to attempt creating a key pair. [04:47] and i didn't do it from root. [04:47] ahh [04:48] i figure if i need to, it would've prompted me to. [04:48] well, last time i did it from kommand. [04:48] look, I don't know anything about this program... have you tried using a cli tool? [04:49] i really do appreciate your suggestions. [04:49] my BMPx and amarok will not play radio streams ,it,s asking for decoders . what do i need [04:49] rickey: what radio streams are you trying to play? [04:50] just radio stations [04:50] some may use windows media codecs. [04:51] are there not speical ones for radio [04:51] depends on the station. [04:51] calcmandan: so why don't you do it from the cli? [04:52] what is cli? [04:53] epimeth_: I've never used it and frankly don't know what it is. [04:53] i will look it up though. right now. [04:53] oh duh [04:53] command likne [04:53] yeah, i used it the last time i greated my keypair. [04:53] i thought it'd be nice to use a nice gui tool for it and ensure everything happens. [04:55] epimeth_: accordijng to cli, i have no permission to access /home~/.gnupu. i ls'd it with sudo and it worked. i need to change permissions. [04:56] yeah it was owned by root. [04:57] so, as me I couldn't create a key because it wasn't root. [04:57] i changed user to me and it worked. voila. [04:57] problem 2: [04:57] Running 1.4.8 in kubuntu 7.10 KDE 3.5.8.

[04:58] lol [04:58] should have asked you that, but it seemed too obvious :-) [04:59] yeah it was too obvious. so obvious i didn't even bother looking. [04:59] sorry... dunno what magnatunes is... have you tried googling? [04:59] is there an easiest way of doing this?? >>if you have no sound, run dmesg and look for the string "snd_"<< [05:02] oh the office is on. [05:07] dose anyone know what decoder or codecs package i need to install , to listen to radio on amaork [05:08] bah... is there any way i can get get the kde menu editor to sort everything in alpha order on the name instead of alpha order on the description? if i'm looking for abiword i don't want to be looking at the bottom of the list (Word Processor...)

[06:36] oh, any idea if they are gonna release a kubuntu remix DVD? i noticed they only had a CD for the beta. [06:36] that I don't know.. but I'm guessing both KDE 3 and KDE 4 would be on the DVD...

[07:34] is this a fresh install, or are your trying to dual boot between windows and kubuntu? [07:34] fresh [07:34] and is it vista or xp cuz if its vista i read u have to install it after u install the linux os [07:34] btw, I'm using my dual boot computer, next to the other computer...so, you can walk me through anything [07:34] xp [07:34] SP2 [07:35] Jucato: were you using Debian GNU/Linux before Kubuntu? [07:35] No SP [07:35] actually [07:35] thats interesting i had xp duel boot never had any issues [07:35] * Claybrain145 is out of the conversation due to carbon based error.

EG instead of memorex, try verbatim or sony? [07:45] different CD-RW drives like different kinds of media over others, or so I've noticed.

[13:39] Egads.. a new release of LinuxXP :) [13:43] kubuntu 8.04, will it be lts or not? [13:44] no [13:44] er.. "not" [13:44] hi [13:44] is it possible to view a vp62 or vp61 encoded video? [13:44] i mean stream from the web... [13:45] oh, to bad... is there somewhere i could read about why there is a kde4 remix and the other aint a LTS? [13:45] not even the one with KDE 3.5? won't it be LTS? [13:46] Hamra: neither [13:46] blippe: simple reason. Canonical says so. they giveth, and they taketh away [13:46] morning guys [13:46] Jucato: sounds nice :D [13:46] there's a KDE 4 Remix because full KDE 3 and 4 sessions won't fit in a single CD [13:47] so you're given a choice what to start with. either way, once installed, you can just install the other KDE version [13:47] im testing a OEM MP5 gadget, and Kubuntu dont seem to detect it trough USB connection, any ideas? [13:48] mountit manually? Monitor dmesg output as you remove/plug it in... [13:49] bah, i just read it, the one with KDE 3 will get commercial support from canonical, but only for 18 months, still, better than nothing :P [13:51] Im still vague on who pays for this support, and how to i get my cut! [13:51] :) [13:51] i guess i'm gonna stick to ubuntu till next release then... usually i change back and forth between them each release... [13:51] blippe: are you a customer of Canonical? [13:51] i.e., do you buy support from them? [13:52] (for Kubuntu) [13:52] Jucato: hrrm, no, i am just another luser... [13:52] and hey, i wasn'tcomplaining [13:52] then LTS shouldn't really be an issue :) [13:52] any one here any good with ffmpeg [13:53] my ffmpeg is lacking ac3 support and i can'r figure out how to fix it [13:53] blippe: I'm just saying that the LTS sticker doesn't really mean anything for non-customers... [13:53] Jucato: actually i was looking forward to a working kde4... [13:53] well, 4.0.3 is.. um.. it runs :) [13:53] Jucato: er, if i use it on a server with a graphical user interface... [13:53] andy_, its possible the mediabuntu version of ffmpeg (if it exists) has it. [13:53] oops medibuntu [13:54] blippe: hm?

[14:27] so no, it was decided to have 2 "starter's pack" rather than force 1 version at this time [14:27] PhilRod: hi! yeah it's in trunk already... I heard it won't be using Akonadi by default yet though [14:27] they have a transition plan for migrating towards akonadi [14:28] ah, that's good/a pity [14:28] :) [14:28] make up your mind! :P [14:28] !khardy | b4l74z4r [14:28] b4l74z4r: Kubuntu Hardy Heron expects to ship with both KDE 3 and KDE 4 as 2 separate disks.

[17:28] makdaknife: how long have you been using linux? [17:29] Hamra: sure thing.... its just that Beta usually means that software is still being tested and is likely to be buggy... if you're a starter... you're going to have trouble working out how to use a buggy system [17:29] user1: 8 years [17:29] makdaknife: how apache works.

[19:43] It is :) [19:44] Cannon, sudo is dangerous because you're executing something with root level permissions. This means you can do anything (delete sensitive files, etc) without any sort of "STOP! YOU CAN'T DO THAT!" message. [19:45] i am unable to run warcraft 3 on gutsy opengl doesent seem to be functioning any ideas? [19:45] that makes plenty of sense! :P [19:45] lol, you could dual boot windows tashiro [19:45] Odd-rationale im back [19:46] pagan0ne: how did you add a new user? [19:46] Cannon, and as said already, doing something like 'rm FILE' has no easy undo, which means you have most likely lost that file forever. Combine that with files that make your system run and you have a big problem :) [19:46] I dont like windows all the antivirus checks, disk cleanups and watevas make me sick [19:46] Odd-rationale sudo adduser myname [19:47] heh [19:47] i am in a big trouble somehow some packages got marked for removal without my knowledge and got uninstalled while running adept even adept is not there in kmenu what do i do? [19:47] which driver is the best for ATI 9200? [19:48] pagan0ne: maybe your file permissions got messed up when copying back. [19:48] rabindra_ i think your about fscked.... ive heard its recoverable, but never managed to recover myself [19:49] Odd-rationale thats a possibility, what would you reccomend i chmod /home back to [19:49] rabindra_: alt+F2 and start konsole [19:49] pagan0ne: I would run the following commands as root: [19:49] pagan0ne im not exactly new to linux, but im dont remember alot of the intricate stuff [19:49] pagan0ne: chmod -R 755 /home/pagan0ne [19:49] rabindra_: Then try sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install adept [19:50] Odd-rationale im not exactly new to linux, but im dont remember alot of the intricate stuff [19:50] Odd-rationale thanx, ill try that [19:50] pagan0ne: chown -R pagan0ne:pagan0ne /home/pagan0ne [19:50] well ill have my user try that, the computer is some 500 miles away from me, and i can no longer ssh into it myself as it lost its dialup connection [19:50] pagan0ne: chmod 644 /home/pagan0ne/.dmrc [19:51] pagan0ne: then reboot: shutdown -r now [19:51] chemist109: this is the error i get [19:51] rabindra@rabindra-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install adept [19:51] E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. [19:51] rabindra_: do that: sudo dpkg --configure -a [19:51] Odd-rationale just those 2? [19:52] I've had to do that before during a screwed up install. [19:52] pagan0ne: those 3 + reboot = 4 [19:52] chemist109: what next? [19:52] rabindra_: I would then do sudo apt-get -f upgrade === sushil is now known as deagle [19:52] Odd-rationale missed the chown [19:53] oops! I mean sudo apt-get -f install [19:53] rabindra_: That is supposed to fix broken dependencies. === deagle is now known as nHawk [19:54] chemist109: but adept still doesn't appear [19:55] rabindra_: Once you're finished with fixing dependencies, do this: sudo apt-get install adept [19:55] It should show up then. [19:56] Hi i've lost audio after installing pdfedit on kubuntu [19:56] I am running 7.10 on my laptop [19:56] If you still can't find it, you can try sudo apt-get install --reinstall adept [19:57] chemist109: and so many other softwares also got lost, perhaps. i am not sure but so many packages were marked for removal and i closed adept in the process. [19:58] i am worried if some important dependencies and critical softwares also got removed! [19:59] when I am trying to remove ghostscript it shows that kde will also be removed why is that ? [19:59] is dmesg cleared when you reboot? [20:01] yes. [20:01] shtoom: presumably kubuntu-desktop depends on it [20:01] rabindra_: I don't know what was removed, so I can't say what to do. You could cat /var/log/dpkg.log and see what it says was removed. [20:01] perhaps kpdf uses it? [20:01] SlimeyPete: in that case why it should remove whole kde desktop insted of removing just kpdf [20:02] shtoom: because kubuntu-desktop depends on kpdf (IIRC) [20:02] to be honest the dependencies in kubuntu are quite odd [20:02] shtoom: why do you want to remove ghostscript? [20:02] kubuntu-desktop depends on a tonne of stuff, which can be annoying [20:03] Odd-rationale still no luck, any other ideas? [20:03] chemist109: cause I got a feeling after running update-manager which did some updates related to ghost script i've lost audio [20:04] pagan0ne: hmm. did you get any errors running those commands as root? (sudo) [20:04] SlimeyPete: this is real bad of not being able to remove one bad package [20:04] shtoom: yes, I know. [20:04] it has frustrated me before. [20:05] I run updates every day, so any one recently reported of the losing audio ? [20:05] SlimeyPete: isn't most of it changed to recommends? - which would mean you could uninstall some of the tonn without removing kubuntu-desktop itself. [20:05] shtoom: Have you tried running alsamixer and playing with the sliders? That has fixed things in the past for me. [20:06] fdoving: that may be the case, if it's a recent change [20:06] shtoom: You could try reinstalling the package if you think that would help (I don't see what ghostscript has to do with audio, though). [20:06] I haven't had any problems recently [20:07] chemist109:I've tried running alsamixer every thing running perfect but xmms or for that matter any other multimedia application won't play sound [20:07] i recently installed kde4.. and it makes my processor to run al full speed.. and so my laptop heated up and my palms burning [20:08] shtoom: Did you log out and back in? That sometimes works too. [20:08] all the media applications just hang trying to play audio [20:08] chemist109:I did a reboot as well [20:08] nHawk: my guess is that either strigidaemon or nepomuk server is eating your cpu. try alt+2 -> show system activity - see what uses most cpu. [20:09] shtoom: i lost my audio in a recent upgrade as the kernel version was updated...i had to recompile my drivers [20:09] Odd-rationale no, no errors [20:09] thnx fdoving [20:09] rite now i m back in kde3.5 [20:09] :D [20:09] mcgub:When you lost audio does it still identify your audio hardware ? [20:10] pagan0ne: i'm out of ideas, sorry... [20:10] only through command line...the mixer didn't see it [20:10] mcgub: I mean does it show make & model in alsamixer and in kmixer ? [20:10] Odd-rationale is there a command line ppp utility included in 7.04? [20:10] Odd-rationale to where i can ssh back in myself to run commands directly? [20:10] Odd-rationale or a way to set it up to recive a dial-in connection? [20:11] nHawk: you can stop nepomuk service at system settings -> advanced -> service manager -> select nepomuk server, hitthe stop button. you can also disable it by unticking the tickbox infront of it. [20:11] shtoom: nothing at all [20:11] pagan0ne: I never used dialup, su dunno that either... [20:11] anyone know if theres a way to dialup via command line in 7.04 without installing any more software? [20:12] mcgub:but for me every thing shows up properly its just that players are not able to play sound [20:12] shtoom: but the shiny new drivers made it all good [20:12] shtoom: it would still point to drivers IMO [20:12] mcgub:i've checked lsof |grep /dev/dsp nothing shows up so I think its good [20:13] chemist109: adept doesn't show all the search results that it showed before. bluefish editor got removed; now search doesn't show any result, i had already fetched updates [20:13] Odd-rationale thanks for your help [20:13] shtoom: good luck then [20:13] iam using tvtime with tv card Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01), i cant see the cable. no video no audio.further info : http://pastebin.com/m6986190e any help please?

The command line interface is fairly simple and allows for total control. If you have time, you may want to use that instead. [20:28] NickPresta: i have no idea how to control that from the command line [20:28] <_pagan0ne> is there a easy way to tell kubuntu to reconfigure x by itself without having to download any packages? [20:28] martijn81,ffmpeg is quite easy to use and if you google for a tutorial , there's some very informative ones [20:28] _pagan0ne: sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg [20:29] <_pagan0ne> thx [20:29] <_pagan0ne> martijn81 will that also reconfigure kdm?

[23:03] !version [23:03] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [23:03] Okay [23:04] Eh [23:04] How do I open a !shell? [23:04] !shell [23:04] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [23:04] damien__: go to system -> konsole [23:04] Okay [23:05] It gives me this error: [23:05] " [23:05] damien@damien-desktop:~$ lsb_release - a [23:05] Usage: lsb_release [options] [23:05] lsb_release: error: No arguments are permitted [23:05] damien__: no space befor the a [23:05] Oh ok [23:05] Ubuntu 7.10, Gutsy [23:06] make sure you update adept first [23:06] How do I do that? God, I'm such a noob at this >_> [23:06] I can't remember what the button's called though >.< [23:06] Refresh? [23:06] :X [23:07] * SlimeyPete isn't on kubuntu at the moment [23:07] there's a button on the top panel [23:07] fetch updates [23:07] ;) [23:07] that's the one === jose is now known as d3ce1t [23:07] * Ralesk wonders if there's a ppa of whatever's current in the 4.1 line of KDE [23:08] I don't see a fetch updates button... [23:09] damien__: have you opened adept ? [23:09] Yes [23:09] what buttons do you see? [23:09] damien__: should be top left [23:10] It says Search: (input field) Any Suite (dropdown box) [23:10] above that [23:10] damien, no, above those [23:10] hehe [23:10] Nothing [23:10] That's the upper most thing [23:10] damien__: go to settings and untick hide toolbar === PhilRod_ is now known as PhilRod [23:11] There's no settings option either >_> [23:11] damien__: close it. I think you are in add remove programs. [23:11] then go to kmenu, sustem, adept manager [23:12] Ah okay [23:12] Okay, fetch updates, then what? [23:12] now try install [23:13] ky [23:13] !kde4 > Ralesk [23:13] Same error :/ [23:14] damien__: ok, close adept, and go to konsole [23:14] jussio1: yes, I know [23:14] Okay I'm in Konsole [23:14] damien__: type this exactly (copy paste is a good idea): sudo apt-get install -f [23:15] jussio1: before 4.0 was released, for a good time some svn builds were available via PPA. I'm wondering if there's someone who bothered to set up a PPA for the current trunk yet this time around [23:15] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) [23:15] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [23:15] damien__: close adept ;) [23:15] i guys i need help opening a port ... according to my iptables it's open for both tcp and udp (irc server 6667) ... but when I check at www.canyouseeme.org it says "connection refused" [23:15] Oh, oops [23:16] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. [23:16] Cannon: your router is probably blocking it/not forwarding it [23:16] Cannon: Are you behind NAT? [23:16] That's what happens when I do that. [23:16] am sure my router is fine ... let me check [23:17] damien__: ok. now type: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [23:17] Protocol Port Range Translate To ... Trigger Protocol Trigger Port [23:17] Any 6667 - 7000 6667 - 7000 - - [23:17] jussio1: There's an error [23:17] router is ok according to that, right? [23:17] jussio1: E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead. [23:17] damien__: have you added any repositores? [23:18] I don't know >_> [23:18] Maybe [23:18] How would I be able to tell? [23:18] I have a dell inspiron and I am having trouble getting the multimedia card reader to work. I bought the computer with ubuntu on it, but then replaced it with kubuntu. is their a program i need to dl to get them to work? [23:18] damien__: please pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [23:18] !paste | damien__ [23:18] damien__: 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) [23:20] jussio1: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62891/ [23:21] oh, bleh [23:21] What? [23:22] Did I do something wrong? >_> [23:22] so if my router is showing that it's open and iptables what else can it be? [23:23] Cannon: are you forwarding those ports to your computer's IP address, or just "having them open", whatever that means? [23:24] jussio1: Did I mess something up? [23:24] damien__: wait a moment please [23:24] to Mikey-PC ... but i dunno if that is an old windows name or router [23:24] jussio1: Okay [23:24] hello [23:24] @ Ralesk [23:25] hmm, I'd guess it's better to call the computer by its IP address :) [23:25] I was installing Kubuntu desktop live CD. its boots pefect from cd. There's an option available to copy the distro to a hdd or usb stick, anybody aware of it generates an error and warnings while booting from HDD? Afterwards it stops [23:26] help - fn+up/down hotkeys doesn't work in gutsy? (laptop brightness) [23:27] i'll have a see [23:29] damien__: please try replacing your sources with this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62892/ [23:29] Ralesk: does this mean anything to you "Can't find the server IP address: Valid name but the host has no IP address" [23:29] damien__: before you do, you havent installed kde4 have you? [23:29] I have no clue if I did or not [23:29] I think I tried [23:29] i'm managing the dns with no-ip and I know for a fact that its directly to my ip Ralesk [23:29] damien__: I dont think you did. ;) [23:30] anybody? [23:30] Illusion: gutsy or hardy? [23:30] gutsy [23:30] jussio1: should I? [23:30] damien__: no [23:30] various errors like: [23:31] hardly o.O if it's supposed to be connected and reachable... it really should have an address [23:31] jussio1: I get another error when trying to replace my sources, saying it was not possible to write to that location. [23:31] I'm confused by your network, Cannon :) [23:31] damien__: you need to use: kdsudo kate [23:31] Ralesk: this is my router http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Thomson-Alcatel/Speedtouch780v6/Speedtouch780v6index.htm [23:31] anacron, cron, crond, atd, /share/acpi, /etc/acpi [23:32] jussio1: what do you mean I need to use kdsudo kate?

[23:34] damien__: replace the sources... [23:34] this is really getting me aggitated [23:34] jussio1: I know :P I meant after that [23:35] Cannon: all I know is that you're probably reaching the router, but it can't forward the packets to the computer for whatever reason [23:35] it's totally weird that said computer doesn't have an IP address [23:35] lol, yeah [23:36] damien__: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [23:36] interesting development ... it's no longer "refused" ... just timing out now [23:36] so surely that means the ports are open? [23:37] yeah, I guess so [23:37] so what next? lol [23:38] jussi01, what do you think about these errors? Ive installed it with oem setup [23:38] jussio1: It keeps asking me to insert my kubuntu CD, and I have it inserted [23:38] well, I don't know about your LAN, but that computer you're trying to forward to, look into it why it doesn't have at least a LAN IP address (say, 192.168.x.y) [23:39] *and i haven't updated it yet, with apt-get [23:39] it does [23:39] i just can't remember it! lol [23:39] am used to windows so I have no idea how to look it up on linux [23:40] i do recall it starting with 192 though [23:40] ifconfig :) [23:40] Illusion: which errors? [23:40] ta [23:40] i'll have a lookie [23:40] jussio1: It's still asking me to insert the CD and press enter, which I have done but it still asks [23:40] why not ipconfig? lol [23:41] damien__: please use that kdesudo command again and remove the line about the cd. [23:41] damien__: to stop the update press ctrl+c [23:41] jussio1: what was the kdesudo command? O_o [23:42] could it be 127.0.0.1 Ralesk? [23:42] jussi01 im reinstalling it atm with normal setup [23:42] Cannon: 127.0.0.1 is localhost, so no [23:42] damien__: kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list [23:42] lol [23:42] <<< noob :P [23:42] how about this one :P 192.168.1.66 [23:42] damien__: and Illusion, I need to run. im sorry. :/ [23:43] Cannon: ifconfig because it's "interface" -- it could be setup to a non-IP network for all we care :) [23:43] np it's ok [23:43] that looks good, Cannon [23:43] Uh [23:43] I need more help :X [23:44] !hardy status [23:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about hardy status - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:44] damien__: just remve that line, then run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [23:44] damien__: then try installing again [23:44] VousDeux: go look at the topic in #ubuntu+1 [23:44] now im really going [23:44] jussi01: thanks [23:45] cya jussi01 [23:45] hey Ralesk ... i typed that lan address and it changed it to Mikey-PC so am assuming thats the one [23:46] !pastebin [23:46] E: Type '(20071016.1)]/' is not known on line 1 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list [23:46] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[23:48] doubtful :) give it a spin [23:48] How do I run apt-setup in konsole? [23:48] ZOMG! [23:48] some updates have disappeared! lol [23:49] have a lookie pls Ralesk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62895/ [23:49] nickpresta: how do I run apt-setup in konsole? [23:49] i know I added the ports earlier [23:49] must have lost em on reboot [23:49] damien__: there is no apt-setup, you mean aptitude? [23:50] rickest: No, when I try to run add or remove programs, it tells me that theres an error and to run apt setup in terminal [23:50] Cannon: yes, the IRC range seems to be missing altogether [23:50] lol [23:50] I think there's an iptables-save and an iptables-restore command that can... you guess it what they do :P [23:50] rickest: An incorrect APT configuration seems to be the problem [23:50] you couldn't give me the exact code to add both tcp and udp could you please Ralesk ... i don't wanna make any mistakes [23:51] damien__: no idea what it means, sorry. 'sudo aptitude' might tell you but you should probably ask someone who knows [23:51] it's been quite a long time since I've last used iptables and I'm quite rusty, sorry [23:52] though to be honest, behind NAT, unless you forward everything to the computer, there's little use of iptables or another packet filter in the first place... [23:52] I think I fixed it [23:53] so there is an alternative to iptables ... a GUI would be nice [23:53] ! :P [23:53] howdy [23:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about p - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:53] lol [23:54] opps - didnot mean to do that [23:54] how do i upfgrade to 8.04 [23:55] from here [23:56] You might want to wait a couple more weeks [23:57] it's due out on the 24th i think [23:58] naa ill upgrade now [23:58] figured it out on the site [23:58] :P [23:58] What exactly does "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" do? [23:58] virtualbox crashed my windows 2003 server installation.... [23:58] the first one makes sure your respositories are upto date damien__ [23:59] maybe repositories isn't the right word [23:59] man, I haven't done any updates or anything for so long I guess I'm skiddish...evidentally my adept has been broken since October, so I'm way behind [23:59] like checking for upgrades [23:59] Ah [23:59] ok [23:59] i prefer synaptic to adept [23:59] Well it takes a long time to update :| [23:59] and October is ages ago! lol
