[00:02] hey guys [00:03] Greets, everyone... [00:04] Anyone know how to start a program on a host's display when logged into it via SSh? [00:15] Anyone know how to start a program on a host's display when logged into it via SSh? [00:15] hello [00:17] !hi | VStyDS [00:17] VStyDS: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [00:18] dual boot question: if i have a boot loader on the MBR i use for most of my OSes, and i installed a boot loader on one of the partitions, what menu entries do i need for the 1st boot loader so i get the menu of this seconf boot loader? === glade88 is now known as glade88|Away [00:20] * glade88|Away is away: Gone away for now [00:21] hi [00:21] hi [00:22] Trying to burn a copy of a DVD, I get an error saying that k3b failed to retrieve all the CSS keys. I've updated libdvdcss2 via Medibuntu. What else can I do? [00:22] etfb: dvd protected? [00:23] chfwiggum: Must be. It plays OK though. [00:23] etfb: I've never had much luck with K3b and encrypted DVD's. I'd just use K9Copy (sudo apt-get install k9copy) to create the .iso, then use K3b to burn the image. [00:23] contrast: Ah! I'll try that. Thanks. [00:24] etfb: Last I checked though, I *think* the copy of K9Copy in the repos is broken. :-\ [00:24] contrast: ??? Why's it in the repos then? [00:24] Got me. [00:25] Worth a shot though, it might've just been something on my system I broke. [00:25] contrast: 'bout your question, you mean something like DISPLAY=":0.0" myapp & ? [00:25] I love Ubuntu and the apt system, but I swear: someone needs to get a serious kicking about some of the crap that gets officially included... [00:25] lkjasa: I think so. [00:26] etfb: It's not "officially" included - it's in the Universe repo. ;-) [00:26] lkjasa: Beautiful, that got it. Thanks. [00:27] lkjasa: For some reason, setting the DISPLAY variable, then running the program after it's set wasn't working. [00:27] export DISPLAY=":0.0" should work [00:28] Algun espa;ol por aqui? [00:29] !es>guti14 [00:29] guti14, please see my private message [00:30] gracias... thx [00:31] contrast: You're right: sigfault when I tried opening a DVD. I'll go find the sources... [00:32] etfb: I'm pretty sure I tried that and it did the same thing. I *believe* vamps is the real culprit. :-\ [00:32] I'm gonna see if Intrepid's copy of Vamps works in Hardy; if you wanna wait a minute, I'll let you know how that pans out. [00:37] etfb: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/v/vamps/vamps_0.99.2-2_i386.deb - Looks like that got it. The disc image wouldn't even open, right? [00:37] contrast: Yep. Just installing that and rerunning k9copy will work? Or do I need to rebuild k9copy from source? [00:38] you should be fine after installing that. [00:41] contrast: Nope. Still segfaulting. Never mind, I have to go. Thanks for your help anyway. [00:45] how do i install a theme in kde4 ... i have the list with themes from kde-look.org in the settings window, but the gui is confusing and i there seems to be missing a "apply" button or something === armitage is now known as _gtt_ [01:22] where/how do i set the DNS server for kubuntu? [01:23] geek: knetworkmanager > manual configuration [01:25] ign0ramus: thanks [01:25] geek: [01:25] oops. no problem ;0 [01:26] * geek had the DNS server on the router act up so i decided to use the spare DNS server i set up for fun XD [01:26] you can always use 4.2.2.1-.6 [01:26] or OpenDNS [01:28] Kubuntu-de [01:29] lol [01:30] yeah, i'll be adding opendns as alternates as well. can't hurt to have backups [02:14] hey [02:14] unitypunk : hello [02:15] whats up? [02:15] everything ok [02:15] yeah [02:16] well [02:16] i was wondering about ssh [02:17] if i got openssh-server [02:17] is there somewhere i have to set it up [02:18] unitypunk : i use putty [02:18] im on windows now. [02:18] you can use it there too [02:18] well [02:18] i dont know openssh but for me putty is perfect [02:18] aaaaaahhhhh sorry [02:18] you need the server ????? [02:19] hmm [02:19] you need to setup a server [02:19] i was hoping i could get to a shell from my work [02:19] or you want just a ssh client ? [02:19] i have a client on here [02:19] ok then putty is perfect [02:19] for a client [02:22] crap.. [02:22] <_gtt_> unitypunk - I might be weird, but I kind of like all of the luxuries I get along with WebMin [02:22] whats webmin? [02:22] <_gtt_> webmin is a web-based system administration interface, that provides a shell via http (your browser) [02:23] <_gtt_> it does all kinds of other wonderful stuff as well. if you search google, it's the first result. [02:23] hmm [02:24] i wish i knew what the external ip of my networ was.. [02:24] unitypunk : showmyip.com [02:24] not at home :-/ [02:24] im at work [02:24] i want to play with my desktop at home. [02:24] :-/ [02:24] <_gtt_> when you get back home setup no-ip [02:25] yeah [02:25] ive used no-ip lots in past [02:25] <_gtt_> sudo aptitude -y install no-ip [02:25] aptitude :/ [02:25] apt-get? [02:25] * Dr_willis_ missed the question [02:25] <_gtt_> that should work....but i prefer aptitude... remember i'm weird [02:26] I always install/use synaptic [02:26] or the commandline [02:26] Dr_willis_ : the question was how to show the external ip [02:26] Dr_willis_ : question made from unitypunk [02:26] lol [02:26] <_gtt_> hrmm [02:26] aptitude is aptget? [02:27] My router has a dyndns client bult in. [02:27] !aptitude [02:27] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [02:27] <_gtt_> if you've sent yourself an email from home recently, you may be able to find the ip address in the headers from the email. [02:27] oh meh [02:28] <_gtt_> yeah, the Buffalo's are good for built-in dyndns [02:28] unitypunk : aptitude automatically installs recommended packages. apt-get doesnt [02:28] <_gtt_> i think they both take my fav -y arg. [02:28] Hmm.. apt-get can auto-install recommended packages if ya give it the right args [02:28] I think. [02:29] Dr_willis_ : yes. sort of [02:29] i rarely want it to autoinstall the reccomended.. becuase the reccomendations are often very... weird.. :) [02:30] Hmm the web site whatismyip has a simple url to get the ip now. http://whatismyip.com/automation/n09230945.asp [02:30] _gtt_, im using ddwrt [02:30] on a wrt54g [02:30] <_gtt_> you need to share the info on ddwrt [02:30] <_gtt_> i think i got a wrt54g [02:31] <_gtt_> got the wireless ethernet bridge too... really happy with it. [02:33] dd-wrt.org? [02:33] grab the right version for your router [02:33] and install [02:36] can anyone tell me from which directory cron runs a task? [02:37] Schuenemann : /etc/cron.daily [02:38] Schuenemann : /etc/cron.d , cron.hourly cron.monthly [02:39] albuntu, I have a ruby script that works when I call it myself (even from that directory) but not when cron calls it. An exception (broken pipe) is raised [02:39] I've been on this for days... =( [02:40] Schuenemann : try checking man for cron because i dont know too much about it. [02:40] Schuenemann : man cron in terminal and you get all the explanation [02:41] !cron | Schuenemann [02:41] Schuenemann: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [02:47] that is more a howto than an explanation about it [02:48] I can't understand why it works when I call it [02:55] <_gtt_> unitypunk: what would dd-wrt give me that i would not already have? [02:55] <_gtt_> if its just more configuration, i dont have time or desire for it, but if it makes things faster or something that'd be great. === amazon_ is now known as amazon__ [03:11] oi [03:11] jsdlhfkjlasdf [03:11] oq é isso [03:11] hsdkjfhsdakjlh [03:11] sdhfjksdhgjçasd === amazon__ is now known as eduardo [03:13] hi need help installing program, ive tried package manger the file is listed and ive requested install but nothing happens, ive also tried refreshing list but same thing occurs [03:13] you have to hit apply === eduardo is now known as nickname [03:14] administrator: Is that what you did already? The package manager waits till' you select everything you want, then you hit apply [03:14] apply does not highlight sat for 5 mins nothing [03:15] and you checked the box on one of them [03:15] hm [03:16] when it prompted to run as root, you did so right? [03:16] doesnt get that far [03:16] no, it prompts for root right when adept starts [03:16] if that is the one you are talking about [03:16] ive prviously added packages without any problems [03:17] administrator : press ctrl+esc and check for adept because you may have open 2 or 3 of them and kill them and try again [03:18] ctrl + escape? [03:18] what is that supposed to do? [03:18] Predator106 : maybe i am wrong but left ctrl + escape gives me the processes [03:19] ok checked none running ill try again [03:19] albuntu: It must be how you set up kde normally, because it does not happen on mine. using Kcontrol i set it to windows setup, however [03:19] administrator : open adept and it should ask for the password before opening [03:20] yeah, I think it runs as user if you hit ignore [03:20] thus not being able to apply [03:20] Predator106 : maybe. i said it without thinking because for me it works. :) [03:21] it doesnt ask for password [03:21] must be already in root-mode [03:22] administrator : Predator106 is right. it must be in root mode. try choosing a package and applying [03:24] albuntu: what does the ignore button even do on kdesu? Isn't it the same as cancel, it didn't start adept for me, I figured it would just run as user. Unless adept is one of those programs that can only run as root? [03:24] ok i searched for package selected it (mediatagtools) request Install but nothin for applying changes happening [03:24] administrator : can you try restarting X [03:25] im new user this is my first day using linux ??? [03:26] administrator: logout and hit ctrl+alt+backspace [03:26] then wait until it asks, and log back in [03:26] this is almost like rebooting the computer, but faster [03:27] cool thank you ill be back in a few mins thanks for help in meantime [03:27] k, np [03:27] this is restarting x.... [03:27] nothing like "this is almost like rebooting the computer, but faster" [03:27] lol [03:27] basti [03:27] lol [03:27] well, it basically is [03:27] almost like it.. [03:27] as much is based off of X [03:27] but not.. [03:27] why do i hate gnome.. [03:28] yep, hence the "almost like" [03:28] plus, i wanted to put it into a lesser sense [03:28] as the average user doesn't know wth X is, nor does he/she care [03:30] so why didnt you tell him to use apt-get/aptitude? [03:31] hm? [03:31] basti : maybe because this was his first time [03:31] yeah... [03:31] so what? [03:31] cold water [03:31] IS KUBUTU 8.10 USING A GENERIC KDE BACKGROUND? [03:31] basti : because he wasnt able to find kicker . [03:32] lol [03:32] heh [03:32] hi agin still the same problem not asking for password when starting and when tried to install its not for happening [03:32] alt+f2 [03:32] ?

Certain videos will stream really really fast, others won't stream at all or extremely, extremely slowly [03:39] cool thank you ie found the prblem another package is listed but is not available and that it may man that the package is missing or available from another source, thanks guys [03:44] administrator : no problem [03:45] albuntu: was wonderin' when you would say something, I felt obligated to say something even though I felt like I had done so little :) [03:45] Predator106 : lol [03:45] i just saw it [03:45] :P [03:45] heh [03:45] anyways it doesnt make a difference [03:46] well, a thank you left unreplied feels like not much of a thank you. [03:47] going to sleep because its 5 am here :S [03:47] goodbye all [03:47] cya [03:47] bye Predator106 ;) [03:47] hopefully i'll see you around =) [03:48] sure [03:48] ;) [03:51] thanks again ill call back im sure as im new and i can reasure ill be back, thanks once again yuo are cool people for helping [03:51] your very welcome === patricio is now known as Guest73152 === freaky_t is now known as fReAky_t === fReAky_t is now known as freaky_t === rav is now known as RAV [05:10] can anyone help me keep my network connection? [05:10] it seems like it dies every 20-30 mins [05:11] using wireless? [05:11] yeah [05:12] other computers connected to same router are fine/unaffected./ [05:12] how do you reconnect? [05:12] the connection times out. [05:12] like.. [05:12] if you knotice [05:12] thers like 3 unitypunks in here [05:12] yup [05:13] on knetwork it shows as staying connected the whole time. [05:13] so, how do you get your networking back? do you log out and log back in? [05:13] no [05:13] it just comes back in a few. [05:14] anything to do with power management by any chance? [05:14] unty_punk: DHCP or static IP? [05:14] i didnt change anything in wireless/power managment. [05:14] dhcp [05:14] server is giving it a static ip [05:15] unty_punk a real server or a SOHO router acting as a DHCP server? [05:15] its a wrt54g, running ddwrt [05:17] lol [05:17] there goes clone 1 [05:17] so, it used to work and now doesn't ? [05:17] it worked fine when i was running windows. [05:17] so, it never worked fine on kubuntu? [05:17] nope [05:17] unty_punk: Ok If I understand correctly then, you have a wireless router that is supposed to be giving you a static IP on connection [05:18] yeah [05:18] If screen goes black after enabling desktop effects, does that mean my gpu isn't supported? [05:18] Do you have the router set to limit certain MAC wirless addresses? [05:19] nope [05:20] unty_punk Might try that first. It was what was causing the same kind of problem with my home network. IP conflicts that were solved using the Mac to IP address assignments instead [05:21] so assign the ip to the mac addy in router config? [05:21] brb [05:21] unty_punk: i have no idea what is going on [05:21] sorry [05:21] unty_punk yes [05:22] unty_punk also if and when you notice connectivity loss again, see if you can still ping the router and then the gateway [05:23] off to restart.... [05:33] okay [05:33] the mac addy is bound to ip. [05:33] unty_punk you seem to have signed in with two nicks at the same time [05:34] yes... [05:34] two seperate devices. === unitypunk is now known as unity`laptop [05:34] unty_punk ah [05:34] unty_punk Hopefully the issue is solved [05:35] ill watch it from here.. [05:35] and see if it times out.. [05:35] lol [05:35] unty_punk: If not double check that your router is using its own IP to the ISP (network connection sharing) [05:36] aitd, its a little confusing. but the router is a reapeter [05:36] with its own dhcp. [05:36] bouncing from my modem [05:36] wich is 192.168.1.x-xx [05:37] and the repeater is 192.168.2.x-xxx [05:37] the bouncer has all ports open via modem dhcp/firewall [05:38] i think it would classify as a subnet [05:39] unty_punk: Have not used a setup like that but still think the mac to IP addressing will do the trick [05:39] What does arp give you? [05:40] arp? [05:40] unty_punk your arp tables. Command arp -a [05:40] okay [05:40] brb [05:41] DD-WRT (192.168.2.1) at 00:06:25:F5:33:17 [ether] on wlan0 [05:42] unty_punk can you ping the modem IP ok? [05:43] ping 192.168.1.1? === harolddong is now known as peterbuldge [05:43] yep [05:43] unty_punk if that is your modem. [05:43] pings fine. [05:43] k [05:44] unty_punk I suppose some monitoring is in order for a while then. The only other thing I could think of offhand [05:45] we'll wait and see. [05:45] unty_punk ...actually scratch the other idea. Thought about it some and it made no sense after the fact lol [05:46] other idea? [05:46] unty_punk: yeah. I was thinking about the link between the modem and the router, but if you can ping the modem ok... [05:47] unty_punk: my thought was useless. [05:47] lol [05:47] next on my list of things to do.. [05:47] get ssh working [05:47] unty_punk: maybe run wireshark or tshark and see what changes may or may not occur over the time period between connectivtiy losses [05:48] unty_punk lanmap has come in handy for me to track down network issues too. [05:48] seems stable right now.. [05:49] shit [05:49] unty_punk good deal... got to fly for now. [05:49] how would i edit no-ip config? [05:51] unitpunk: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/No-IP.com_Client [05:51] ohh i could use that.. [05:51] thnaks :) [05:52] español [05:52] unitypunk__ I have no other ideas about that one. Just happened to have google up at the time... :) good luck. have to go. [06:24] guys is domino in any respository? or is it something people must install without repository [06:24] ? [06:25] !domino [06:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about domino [06:25] No idea on that.. sorry [06:29] hmm [06:29] Dr_willis_: thanks. :) [06:29] domino as in the lotus notes one? [06:30] geek: no, one of theme (rendering engines) or something for KDE GUI. [06:31] kde-style-domino - Domino widget style and kwin decoration for KDE3 appears to be in my repos [06:31] geek: cool.... [06:32] geek: which repo...? I think I have all checked.... but apt-get install didn't find kde-style-domino. === smutje is now known as smutje_ === smutje_ is now known as smutje__ [06:34] kubuser: no idea. maybe i could pastebin my sources.lst? [06:35] geek: hmmm.... searching in Adept. [06:35] http://pastebin.com/m734582dc i have all those + medibuntu [06:35] mannn [06:35] geek: thanks. :) looking thru. [06:36] (one thing i love about ubuntu based distros. they have EXCELLENT third party repos ;p) [06:36] running konq, Adept, konsole, irssi on a pII really take juice.... [06:37] geek: hehe, coming from gentoo I get confused between repos. Just like one repo base. :) [06:37] geek: but K/X/Ubuntu's decission is understandable. [06:39] kubuser: well, you only really need the basics. additional repos give stuff that the main distro can't or hasn't bothered to package [06:39] but all the fun is in the extras.... no. :) [06:40] the litlte dominos and the adesklets and the other neat things. [06:40] yeah [06:40] i kinda doubt gentoo's emerge (thats what its called) repos have *everything* do they? ;p [06:41] geek: no they don't have everything. But most of them are in there. That way new overlays have to be added for really weird stuff... like experimental KDE4 support so the main devs don't wanna support it. [06:42] but commonly used things like domino for themeing would probably be in there. really a n00b in kde. used to run xfce. [06:42] kubuser: additional repos are equivilent to your 'overlays' i guess ;p [06:42] lol [06:42] with a PII xfce sounds like a better choice unless you maxed out your ram [06:43] yeah that's why went with xfce. then with dwm. then alternated. now to try kubuntu blew away the machine and reinstalled kubuntu. KDE is pretty cool. also had kde3 installed on gentoo. never really used it.... [06:44] so where is this sources.lst file supposed to go? [06:44] in /etc/apt/ normally [06:44] but now a days one dosent alter sources.list much. theres 'includes' that can get added in. :) [06:45] but just rember to 'sudo apt-get update' after changing hte sources/repos [06:45] errrr includes? (begin headache).... [06:45] yes. you can have several different 'sources.list' parts that get merged together [06:45] then to remove one repo. you just delete the one file [06:45] not messing about with an editor/config file [06:46] the medibuntu repo - gives such an example in how they document setting up their repo [06:46] !medibuntu [06:46] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [06:46] sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list [06:47] Dr_willis_: ok this sources.list.d part sounds familiar and cool. so I'll stuff the new .list file in there. :) then do an update? [06:47] that /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list file gets 'included' in the repositories listing used. [06:47] or add them to a file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ [06:47] you MUST update, after changing those things [06:47] right my medibuntu was in there. [06:47] will do (update). :) [06:47] im trying to install docsis on kubuntu and get this error in the terminal while using the make command /home/rocky/Desktop/docsis/src/docsis.c:77: undefined reference to `floor' [06:47] docsis_encode.o: In function `encode_hexstr': [06:47] /home/rocky/Desktop/docsis/src/docsis_encode.c:337: undefined reference to `floor' [06:48] what does this mean and what do I need to do to fix it [06:48] compiling from souce.. can be such a bother. [06:48] Dr_willis_: so it the files have overlapping deps, that won't cause problems.... [06:49] kubuser, proberly not. [06:49] kubuser, proberly get a warning about them [06:49] !find docsis [06:49] 'find' is disabled [06:49] * Dr_willis_ wonders what docsis is [06:49] !info docsis [06:49] Package docsis does not exist in hardy [06:49] which program produces the best xvid rips of dvds? i need realy high quality in 700mb [06:50] Dr_willis_: sounds ok. :) anything sounds fine. [06:50] it is a program used to read configuration files of a docsis cable modem [06:50] sigma_za, most are just front ends to the various encoding tools out.. so ive rarely seen much quality diff. [06:50] if 2 tools are calling ffmpeg or mencoder with the same options.. the outpout should look the same. [06:50] Dr_willis_: gentoo compiles everything. Do you have a rough idea how long it takes to compile a 1M source file on a pII? in Ubuntu even downloading a 10M files is faster. [06:51] whats the diff between transcode and mencoder? [06:51] kubuser, i used gentoo for a long time.. :) then got sick of it [06:51] !info mencoder [06:51] mencoder (source: mplayer): MPlayer's Movie Encoder. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 2:1.0~rc2-0ubuntu13 (hardy), package size 3603 kB, installed size 8356 kB [06:51] !info ffmpeg [06:51] ffmpeg (source: ffmpeg): multimedia player, server and encoder.
