[00:33] how* [00:34] how can i have my video play on my desktop with vlc media player??? [00:36] wtf, why isn't anyone help'n me out [00:36] ??? === root is now known as Guest59533 [01:01] I am wondering how to raise my maximum possible volume. Despite maxing out volume on all channels, some DVD's and youtube videos are still a bit quiet. [01:02] for dvds - some players may have a audio plugin to [01:02] amplify the audio even more. [01:02] or some sort of 'audio balancing' leveling feature [01:03] Perhaps there are some alsa settings for volume multiplications... I don't know how to find them. [01:03] Dr_willis, which applications? I use vlc, mplayer, xine, and kaffeine interchangeabl. [01:03] *interchangeably [01:03] I think ive seen it in vlc and mplayer. those are abut the only 2 i ever use. [01:03] but i havent had to mess with sound in ages on the, [01:04] Still...it'd be nice to have the master settings be a bit more sane. [01:04] I wonder if it's just my sound card. [01:08] hello! [01:08] Is this the right place for some help? [01:08] Depends on the problem. :) [01:08] Yes, probably. If not we will try to find the right place to ask the question [01:08] Two problems...maybe they are easy, maybe not. [01:09] First, I have ethernet connection, but I cant get my wireless to work. I tried checking up online, but couldn't figure it out. If you can help me on this, I would appreciate it. [01:10] Apparently my card is enabled, but it doesnt find any networks. I even installed my card drivers. [01:10] Ive given up basicially on wireless. :) So i cant help ya there other then to say 'determine your specific chipset/card and check the wiki/forums' heh. [01:10] ok [01:10] even on the laptop i got that wireless DOES work. i seem to ahve to fight with it to make it change networks. [01:11] I'm only using hotspots and whatever is floating around me.... [01:11] on a live cd you can boot and run from the cd without actually installing correct? [01:12] RG-NewGuy- correct [01:12] where on the wiki does it have that info... [01:13] nevermind...i found it [01:15] my other concern is the touchpad. I have a small vertical scroll section on the right side of my touch pad. It works, but it also causes the mouse to click, which it didn't do in windows, and its quiet annoying.... [01:15] I added gsynaptics, but cant find it or figure out how to use it [01:16] how do i check which nvidia driver i have installed ? [01:16] i can't mount my cdrom any help ? [01:16] i get an error that UDF volume cannot be mounted [01:16] it was working fine some days ago, i don't know what went wrong [01:17] acornstar, the command is gsynaptics it seems... [01:17] it says i have to set 'shmconfig' true? [01:17] i was thinking gsynaptics and its ksynaptics variant. are not really 'working' with the latest X releases any more. they ar4e being replaced by somthing else. [01:18] acornstar, correct.. you need to tweak the xorg.conf to enable that option... [01:18] do I use Kate for that? [01:18] you could I guess.. with 'kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf' - but i dont rember where that option goes exactly. [01:19] i recall the gsynaptics homepage having details on that topic. :) [01:19] i would use konqueror, and then right click edit as root [01:19] ok..let me try [01:20] i would use vi, and have it edited and saved befor you could find it in the filemanger.. :P [01:20] Of course you will need to restart X for the option to take affect. [01:20] and even THEN.. im not sure if gsynaptics even works right any more [01:21] i can't mount my cdrom any help ? [01:21] helpy, try mounting from the terminal? [01:21] what line do I edit, because I dont see shmconfig [01:21] hehe Dr_willis that's all these years of windows i was forced through :) [01:21] sudo mount -t udf /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom -- or somthing similer. [01:22] acornstar, i dont rember/ you add that line somewhere.. the gsynaptic hompage had details last i had to do that task. [01:22] ok [01:22] doesnt work [01:22] gives me an error [01:22] mount: block device /dev/scd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only [01:23] it has something to do with permissions and i have no idea how to get permissions [01:23] i am already root [01:25] Alright...restarting....i'll be back [01:27] helpy: sudo su ? [01:27] doesnt work [01:27] i am already root [01:28] It worked...but there is no option to disable tapping in the vertical scrolling region [01:28] yeah the q was jokingly asking if you used sudo su :) [01:29] sorry that i can't help you to get the cd working. did you try with another cd ? [01:31] nope [01:31] maybe the cd is bad [01:31] trying now [01:33] I found alot of different option for xorg.conf but is there one to disable tapping in the vert edge zone? [01:33] hi all [01:33] i'm an idiot - what's the command to delete a directory that is not empty? [01:34] says invalid mount point when trying to mount volume 'UDF volume' [01:35] acornstar: see here --> [01:35] woops http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=351058 [01:38] nvm. found it.

[01:45] Wait one, please [01:46] Intel onboard wireless [01:46] 82801G [01:47] All i know about wireless.. (other then that it can be a headache) is at [01:47] !wireless [01:47] * Dr_willis_ pokes the bot. [01:47] I actually have an HP Pavilion dv9347cl if that help any [01:47] !wireless [01:48] the exact chipset of the wireless card. will be 'critical' in determing what you need to do to get wireless going on that laptop. You could also google/check the ubuntu forums for that specic laptop [01:48] Hi. Could someone explain to me what I have to do to get files from one computer to another over a network using Ubuntu? [01:48] john_, what os is on the other pc? [01:48] Both have Ubuntu Hardy [01:48] john_, simple way is to use ssh/scp [01:48] I'm looking for help on dual-monitor-configuration. xinarama works but the monitors don't cover the whole virtual screen [01:48] Thanks Dr_willis [01:49] PiPhi, using nvidia or ati video cards? or other? [01:49] john_: or look into nfs, there are some tutorials on the forums [01:49] Dr_willis Do I need an IP number to use ssh/scp? [01:50] ati. it's a AMD690GM-M2 Mainboard with radeon 1250 buildt-in and hdmi and VGA-output === root is now known as Guest14632 [01:50] john_, well.. if a machine has no ip#. not a lot can accessit.. since its err.. not really on the network then... [01:50] seems like the world of !wireless is afk tonight [01:50] so either the machines name. or the ip# is normally needed. [01:51] http://www.hypexr.org/linux_scp_help.php scp examples [01:51] wow...i messed up my mouse, and had to undo the xorf changes! [01:51] dr_willis therein lies my problem. ifconfig only reports the IPv6 address of eth0 on both machines, but no IPv4 address. It makes me sad. [01:51] john_: you always need ips for networkin unde unix. use on of the reserved address ranges like 192.168.*.* [01:51] scp example.c username@azure.itlabs.umn.edu:~ [01:51] shows how to copy a file (example.c) from your current directory at home to your IT Labs account: [01:53] Hum... [01:54] Dr_willis, what site can I google for support on wireless [01:54] PiPhi, no idea on dual monitors and twinview. [01:54] Blackdeath, the ubuntu forums/wiki would be the place to start [01:54] dr_willis How do I make it use an IP address in the reserved range [01:54] So the Kubuntu wiki? [01:54] Can I get a linxorz [01:55] on the + side, i installed wlassistant and I think I can connect wirelessly now! [01:55] maybe not [01:55] it cant connect to any of the networks [01:55] Blackdeath: i think i read that you can use a windows driver if no native driver is available. google for ndis wrapper linux or somesuch [01:55] it cant connect to any of the networks [01:56] any ideas? [01:57] john_, kubutnu has some network config tools in the settings menus. I just let all my machines use dhcp. [01:57] john_, you are refering to a WIRED network? not wireless? [01:58] I'm editing xorg.conf, because the systemconfiguration doesn't know about the two screens. only one monitor is available there [01:59] dr_willis It is a wired network, but so far I've just been using it to share an ADSL modem between two computers. I've been using a generic Ubuntu setup. Is there an easy way that I can use the kubuntu network config tools? [02:00] what is the ip of the router ? [02:01] john_: if you want a regular local network you'll need samba or NFS [02:02] or even easier assign some dhcp addresses in the router... [02:02] or check the machines to see if they do in fact have ip#s [02:02] which i imagine they do. [02:03] otherwise you won't connect to the net :) [02:03] But to use NFS, I still need to get regular IPv4 worling right? So far as I can tell, I only have IPv4 through pppoe with the computers connecting through a router to the ADSL modem using IPv6 which makes no sense to me at all. [02:03] networking basics. ;0 [02:03] ive never used adsl. so no clue on that. [02:03] It is the basics which confound me. [02:03] the router should be giveing all the machines ip#'s [02:04] ¿you sure you're using IPv6? === pascalFR is now known as PascalFR [02:04] I'm not sure, but ifconfig shows an IPv4 address for ppp0 and an IPv6 addr for eth0 on both computers. [02:05] Would this mean the router isn't working properly? [02:05] ¿what's the address? [02:06] On one machine eth0 is fe80::21e:90ff:fe1d:eb46/64 and ppp0 is 138.89.61.58 [02:07] On the other etho is fe80::210:dcff:fec6:150b/64 and ppp0 is 70.21.159.129 [02:07] scp should work fine over IPv6 if that's what your internal network is using [02:07] my ifconfig shows an interface with a ip4 and a ip6 address. the other interfaace is the loopback, and that is all no ppp0... [02:07] folks, I've got an unusual issue here: after a graphical login, my keyboard responds like it's stuck- if you hold down the key, it works, otherwise no [02:08] if I log out and pick fail safe or switch to a console, the keyboard works fine [02:09] is there a chance to get an expert for dual-display / xorg.conf in another time? [02:09] so on KDM screen it works good.. but on kde desktop its messed up eh szakulec ? [02:09] yeap [02:10] if I hold down the keys for a few seconds, it will start repeating them [02:10] PiPhi: what gfx card do use, maybe the right channel would be a better bet [02:10] john_: in konsole> sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart ... and run ifconfig again to see what network address you get [02:10] PiPhi, for some of that stuff. i often search the gentoo wikis :) There is a dualhead ubuntu wiki page or 2 also. [02:11] JackWinter: it's a AMD690GM-M2 Mainboard with radeon 1250 buildt-in and hdmi and VGA-output [02:13] Dr-willis_: nobody seems to use onboard-grafic. I found no solutions to my problem in any forum or wiki [02:14] PiPhi: try #ati [02:15] JackWinter: #at ??? [02:15] on this irc network, the channel called "#ati" [02:16] eg: /join #ati [02:16] sorry the last 'i' wasn't visible in the default coloring of kopete [02:17] try Konversation [02:18] Why is my recordMyDesktop video laggy? I have 3GB of RAM! [02:18] thanks & bye [02:19] Can someone help please? [02:21] LetsGo67: Perhaps youi need to use the KDE Krecordmydesktop instead of the Gnome recordmydesktop [02:25] where can i find the extract and compress menus for konqueror? [02:25] what path? [02:34] digistyl3: There is no path in which they are. It's an integral part of Konqueror. [02:35] ok [02:39] i wanted to port them to kde 4.1, but someone told they use ark, and that the new ark doesn't have those features yet [02:39] anyway, thanks [02:40] genii: oops, sorry, not using KDE. Maybe I shouldn't be here... [02:42] LetsGo67: Some questions have a common answer in either Ubuntu or Kubuntu, but yours is not one of them. Anyhow it seems you are receiving proper help in the correct channel of #ubuntu now anyways. [02:42] hello again [02:42] so, I have finally connected to a wireless network [02:42] but cant browse the internet [02:42] hello! [02:43] genii: why so many crashes, lags, with 3GB of RAM!? [02:43] acornstar: Can you ping an IP directly? [02:43] I was connected wirelessly when I wrote those messages... [02:44] not sure about pinging [02:44] acornstar: 64.233.187.99 for instance is google.com [02:44] oh [02:44] so, in konsole...just type [02:44] LetsGo67: No idea. [02:44] ping then the IP [02:44] acornstar: Yes. to kill it ctrl-c [02:44] Perhaps its not a ram related crash. :) [02:45] k [02:45] i'll unplug the ethernet and try wireless [02:45] thanks ttyl. [02:45] * genii hands Dr_willis a coffee [02:46] yeah, i was able to ping google [02:46] yeah, i was able to ping google [02:46] acornstar: Ok. So ping by IP worked. Can you ping by name? eg: ping google.com [02:48] no, ping by name didnt work [02:48] aMSN is failing to connect [02:48] anyone here good with usplash [02:48] mi didn't change any settings [02:48] acornstar: OK. So DNS here seems to be the problem then [02:48] ok...so what should I do? [02:48] anyone use aMSN? [02:49] acornstar: Did you specify an IP and so on to the interface, or is it just auto and supposed to get an IP/nameserver and so on by itself? [02:49] auto cause i'm using hotspots [02:50] i'm soo close [02:50] 99% of download complete! [02:51] * Dr_willis pulls the plug on RG-NewGuy :) [02:51] noooooooooooo [02:51] usplash ? anyone? [02:51] i've been downloading this for 4hours now [02:51] acornstar: OK. Perhaps try then in Konsole: sudo dhclient -r wlan0 (assuming wlan0 here, use what the real interface name is) then: sudo dhclient wlan0 [02:51] kubuntu here i come [02:51] acornstar: Then try again ping by name. [02:51] dear god DONT BE CORRUPT :( [02:52] k [02:52] !usplash [02:52] * genii prods the bot [02:52] hey genil [02:53] u know how to use it? [02:53] been trying for past 2 days with no luck [02:54] dolo: The bot normally will give a link which then has instructions on this subject, but it seems currently offline. [02:54] a bot ? to send me back to the tutorial i been futsing with for 2 days [02:54] dolo: I have sometimes played with the usplash but not enough to helpful in giving instructions on how to use it [02:55] you know to use gimp? [02:55] i think maybe my image has to man colors or something [02:56] many [02:56] dolo: Yes, I recall it likes 256 colours [02:56] still cant ping by name / connect [02:57] who uses aMSN?? [02:57] acornstar: Did it release the IP and get a new one properly however? [02:57] yes, i think so [02:58] acornstar: Please use pastebin to show result of command: cat /etc/resolv.conf [02:59] execute this command when i'm connected wirelessly only, right? [03:00] acornstar: Yes. Then you could connect by wired to post the result to the pastebin website [03:01] acornstar: It may be if you use a combination of wired/wireless the wired connection becomes default gateway also. [03:01] sorry, what is pastebin? [03:01] nevermind [03:01] i see [03:01] acornstar: http://paste.ubuntu.com/ You copy text from your computer to there and then give us the link [03:03] http://paste.ubuntu.com/34253/ [03:03] I gave you the results for wired and wireless [03:05] reading [03:07] acornstar: So the problem seems to be as I stated. The wired connection has it's own settings which get into the nameserver sections. Then the wireless connection tries to use those values and fails. [03:08] ok! [03:08] so how do we fix it? [03:09] acornstar: As an experiment. Boot the machine with no LAN cable and then see if it connects properly through only the wireless. [03:09] anyone know of proper way to convert Pdf to Html ? pdftohtml makes it unreadble. i tried with both -c , -p options.. but it still sucks. [03:09] acornstar: The wired connection is auto as well, yes? [03:09] yes [03:10] i just plug it in and it works [03:10] acornstar: OK. So when no wired connection when it tries to find network, the wifi should become default. But please test this. [03:11] how do I make the wifi try to become default? [03:12] acornstar, you can bridge the two nics. then it doesnt matter which is default [03:12] acornstar, then etc0 and wlan0 becomes br0 which you set as default [03:12] *etc-> eth0 [03:13] how do i bridge them [03:13] ? [03:13] With ifenslave [03:13] !bridge-utils [03:13] nuxil: The bot is offline [03:13] ok [03:13] genii: ifenslave? is it easy to undo just incase? [03:13] acornstar: Yes [03:14] how can i download software in kubuntu [03:15] genii: how to I use ifenslave...i just downloaded it [03:15] acornstar: There is a basic instruction here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=785471&highlight=ifenslave [03:16] how to download kmail [03:17] jose: If you mean how to install it, do it from Add/Remove Programs [03:18] It's in category "Internet" [03:23] how can I enable kdm themes form kcontrol? === root is now known as Guest62806 [03:27] genii: still couldnt connect [03:30] acornstar: Hmm.

[03:37] anyone here good with usplash? [03:37] acornstar: I see you copied verbatim the example. Are your interfaces in fact called eth0 and eth1? For wireless the more common name for the wireless would probably be wlan0 or ath0 [03:37] ah [03:37] ! [03:37] ok [03:37] acornstar: Please pastebin result of command: ifconfig [03:38] !usplash [03:38] genii: should i fix the file first?

[03:43] nuxil: i think I have it isntalled [03:43] acornstar: OK so in this case use eth0 and wlan0 for that example. Why your eth0 has 118.38.19.96 is interesting. The nameservers you posted before were 168.126.63.1 and 168.126.63.2 for example. [03:43] installed and configured are 2 diffrent things [03:44] ok..let me change the interfaces file, then I can work on configuring ndiswrapper [03:44] yo [03:44] trying out kubuntu.. any recommendations? [03:44] acornstar, when ifconfig shows wlan0 and wmaster0 you are most likelt using a linux module,, not ndiswrapper. and this is a bug in many drivers === ubuntu is now known as Raas [03:45] so how do I configure it?

[04:31] acornstar: i'd be checking logs and making sure your driver/ndiswrapper is working properly [04:32] i dont know how to do that [04:34] How do i update my locale settings? [04:34] is it possible to rename teh entries in /dev/ ? [04:34] i think i will just reinstall kubuntu and start from scratch...i'm just running this to test it out [04:34] When i type out locale in a shell it outputs eveything as POSIX and not en_US.UTF-8 [04:37] acornstar: run ksytemlog and check system log, kernel etc. [04:37] get a whore [04:37] fucking nerds [04:38] i wanna fuck your sisters [04:38] !ops [04:38] * japa acepalms [04:38] !language | akatzin [04:39] oh yeah no ubottu hehe [04:39] no bot flaccid [04:39] genii: seems like it never was able to load my driver, but why is my card missing now? [04:39] yeah im on a lag atm as well coz of a cap [04:39] acornstar: why do you think its missing? [04:39] !locale | mortici [04:40] Does anyone know how to get yahoo IM or myspace IM and counter strike to work with wine? After a little reading I think it's an ntlm authentication issue(they crash while trying to log in or in the case of counter strike when i try to download the game), but can't figure out what package in me adept manager to install to fix this. [04:40] under system settings - network, only eth0 is listed [04:40] its the only available network interface [04:40] acornstar: then your driver is not loading [04:40] what is your lscpi entry for the card again, acornstar? [04:41] but my card showed up before I ever tried to install the driver [04:41] that doesn't conclude anything especially if you have tried to reconfigure it in however many ways [04:42] well..i'll try to reload the driver [04:44]
