[00:19] i bought a kvm switch from zonet a two port and xubuntu would only go 640x480 does anyone know of kvm switch that works with linux [00:21] I have two that do. One is a two-port Belkin Flip and the other is a 4-port Belkin [00:22] I have been using them since 6.06 [00:22] do you have the model numbers === wormsxulla_ is now known as wormsxulla [00:22] and yes, I use them with jaunty [00:22] Model N10117 Belkin 4-Port KVM [00:23] The other is simply called the 'Flip' [00:23] thanks [00:23] no problem. [00:26] i have the usb flip do u think it will work [00:27] I don´t really know. None of mine use USB [00:28] ok just checking [00:28] You probably need to use the rear USB connections, not the front. They have more power for some reason [00:28] Mine both power off the PS2 connectors [00:29] my friend said he had a dlink 4 port he would sell me but i hope it will work with ubuntu [00:29] and xubuntu [00:30] Will he let you try it first? [00:30] because i have 4 linux boxes that i use i hate to unhook monitor and change all the time [00:31] i need to ask him [00:31] I know the feeling. I run 5 systems here, with two keyboards, 2 mice, 2 monitors [00:31] I do a lot of testing [00:32] Gotta go. Good luck [00:32] thanks [00:32] you're welcome [00:37] Hello people does anyone can help me? [00:47] Hello guys I got a little "modem-eeepc comunication" problem, does anybody can help me? [01:24] hey guys i have an install using a low res (tv) and can't find where in xfce4 to add programs to be autostarted ? [01:45] anyone here know how to hook up an internal HDD so that it connects on boot? [01:45] I mean, so that it will be recognized by Xubuntu when it starts up? [01:49] anyone? [01:50] okay... guess not. [01:50] yeah [01:50] eh? [01:51] what do you mean, "yeah"? [01:51] i do know how.. or did [01:51] okay... [01:51] would you help? [01:51] it's become a bit complicated with the UUID stuff.. hod on [01:51] hold on [01:51] okay [02:24] Perhaps another dumb question... I have things saved to the Desktop directory, but I don't see them on my desktop. How come? [02:25] Oh, they're there. I clicked "Let XFCE Manage My Desktop" then clicked iton again. Odd... [02:47] i want to set my screen resolution to always be 1024x768 instead of 1280x1024 [02:48] how would i do this? [03:35] hello, if anyone is awake :) [03:35] Os MIDI and playing midi files working for you? [03:36] when I do amidi -l I see no devices.. [03:36] I am on 8.04 [03:36] hello nikolam [03:36] 64-bit [03:36] hi ball [03:36] nikolam: give me a minute, I'll fire up my Xubuntu box [03:36] ball, its great from you [03:37] im meantime, I will fire my 8.10 in VM :) [03:43] Hah, there IS midi device in 8.10 inside Qemu/KVM with sound support === ball is now known as ball_ [03:55] ball did you try it? [03:58] nikolam: what app are you using to play MIDI files? [04:00] totem, vnc, audacity, kmid :) [04:02] vlc probably, rather than vnc [04:02] audacious, rosegarden [04:03] ...though vlc won't play my MIDI file either. [04:04] vlc :) [04:05] fetching audacity [04:05] smplayer,mplayer [04:08] audacity won't either, unless I use something to render it into a sampled sound file [04:08] Isn't there a MIDI player in Linux? [04:12] Ah, "playmidi" [04:21] Hmm... neither that or muse are able to find my fm synth (if present) [04:22] hello, I am experiencing low line out volume, is there a system volume control I can use to turn up the volume? [04:22] ...not sure they'll work with the UART either [04:22] sorry audacious. audacity is waw editor [04:22] Datzl: what do you have it plugged into? [04:22] ball, my tv [04:23] ball, everything is turned up max, but its still very quite [04:23] quiet* [04:23] Datzl: hopefully volume sliders have no effect on line out [04:23] Why is that? [04:24] Datz1: because it's supposed to be a set Voltage [04:24] oh [04:24] ...700mV peak-to-peak iirc, though icbw [04:24] I see [04:24] so...is my hardware possibly to blame? [04:25] It's certainly possible. If the TV's input impedance were too high, that'd do it. [04:25] ...or if your cables were crummy [04:25] ...or if your sound card were faulty [04:25] ball, thing is I think it was louder eailer [04:25] ...I suppose it's not inconceivable that it's a software bug [04:25] humm, I'll try some other devices [04:25] humm [04:27] That's a good idea... plug it into something else that has a line input [04:27] ...then try plugging something else that has line out into the TV [04:27] ...may help you localise the problem at least. [04:29] ok, these other computer speakers are much louder [04:30] cable might have gone bad recently... [04:30] thanks for your help ball. ;) [04:35] hello bassboi [04:43] hello xtmnx_ [04:44] hi [04:45] aumix: error opening mixer: Success <- how much sense does that make? [04:54] Ah crap, I think my sound card just isn't working. [04:56] I'm having trouble connecting to windows shares with Xubuntu.. I installed pyneighborhood but its not working :( [05:00] ball what lspci is saying? [05:01] GreedyB, You could try smbmount for start [05:02] I myself made a script that mounts all my smb shares on other machine, with password [05:03] nikolam, thanks I'll man that and look that up as well [05:10] nikolam: nothing helpful [05:10] 01:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] (rev 06) [05:11] ball what sound card is that, that lspci is saying you have? [05:11] * ball shrugs [05:11] I could strip down the machine again, but I don't have time right now. [05:12] It may be one of those new sound cards, that's basically just DAC, ADC and a mixer chip [05:13] and apps keep complaining about the lack of "Jack", whatever that is [05:14] rosegarden also doesn't work, same complaint. [05:15] KCrash: Application 'rosegarden' crashing... [05:16] I have to go anyway. [05:17] GreedyB, http://paste.ubuntu.com/94822/ [05:18] nikolam, nice! what if the user has no password "" or blank [05:18] ball I even have ES1370 emulated inside qemu/kvm. I have 8.10 inside kvm. It should work out of box [05:19] GreedyB, I think there is a way NOT to put password in script but elsewere. see man page for command [05:21] GreedyB, If user has no password, then he can lease one from me for 5$ each :) :)) [05:21] :) [05:29] nikolam, so I think part of my problem is I'm using OpenDNS [05:29] cause I specified the ip address and it worked [05:30] mm OpenDNS is somethink like.. dyndns, right? [05:31] its special dns servers that are supposedly better but right now they are causing me grief [05:31] I am using dyndns on home machine and it is refreshing right [05:31] If it is local machine use /etc/hosts or setting the same on network manager [05:32] Its strange to use SMB ove Internet. Seems that it is not secure enough. Thinking of using some VPN or something? [05:32] yo, can anyone help me with this. been using intrepid since its officialy release, yesterday i turn on my computer and i don't get internet even though i can connect to all networks, and get an ip and stuff. please help [05:34] obf213, mmm, tried to ask your ISP? If you get Ip adress and there is no traffic, thech your firewall then. An ask ISP. Not forget you use Xubuntu to them, to make they day :) [05:35] try pinging some site [05:35] look if nslookup is doing its job [05:35] nikolam, adding it to the host file worked [05:35] :) [05:35] hey nikolam the internet works on the windows comp, and the mac comp. pinging does not work [05:35] also check dns settings in network settings [05:36] nikolam, brb testing to see if fstab works now brb [05:36] GreedyB, Great :) [05:36] nikolam: when i connect i take a look at the system moniter and it does reicve bits, at the initial connect i get few 100kb/s for a very short perioed then its all a few hundred bytes/second. [05:36] obf213, Did you check your ethernet cable? :) [05:37] nikolam: yes, it works with the other computers, windows and mac [05:38] try that nslookup www.yahoo.com [05:38] does it say its ip adress? [05:39] connection timed out.. [05:40] aha. check dns settings in System>Network [05:40] set your ISP dns settings there [05:41] or you are using automatic (dhcp) [05:42] nikolam im using automatic [05:42] try pinging 87.248.113.14 [05:42] that`s yahoo [05:43] "network is unreachable" [05:43] ifconfig -a ? [05:43] one sec restarting. [05:47] nikolam: ok i ran the command [05:47] what exactly am i looking for? [05:48] i have an ip address, something called a bcast, a mask, an inet6 addr [05:48] if you connect with network card, you are searching for your ip adress, if you have it [05:48] eth0 [05:48] yes, i have an ip address [05:48] yes [05:49] uhh, checked that cable ? [05:50] so any idea as to why it doesn't work? i didn' tmake any system changes that i can remember then the next day it just stopped working. [05:50] yeah, its not the cable tho wifi connects but doesn't work either, and this is in multiple locations. i;ve checked the cable on pc and mac which seem to work just fine with it. [05:51] try your firewall settings on machine [05:51] I personally use Firestarter but you might try ufw [05:52] nikolam, as far as i remember i don't have a firewall, at least i've never set one up. [05:52] you can see connections in Firestarter as they are sowing also, it is point-and-click to set up [05:52] try netstat -anp to see your net connections [05:53] woah that just gave me a lot of stuff... [05:54] i sent it all to a text file not sure what im looking for [05:54] tcp and udp are connections [05:54] rest is local machine stuff [05:55] ok [05:55] so tcp is 0.0.0.0.111 [05:55] Do you have some kind of web interface control on you router? [05:55] maybe you can find some info there [05:55] and 0.0.0.0.631, one of the udp's is my ip address [05:56] anyone know how to make xubuntu make sounds when you maximize a window, etc? [05:56] Also it is mostly safe to ask ISP support for connection problems, as it is with Mac or PC [05:57] yeah. my only issue is ive been using linux for 2 years + now with no problems [05:57] and 2 days ago everything just seemed to stop working as far as internet [05:57] obf213, That is why I stayed with LTS this time.. [05:59] ..sigh.. [06:00] looks like i might revert back to windoze. not having internet is totally unacceptable and i've spent 2 days trying to fix this nobody seems to know why it doesn't work since all signs say it should. [06:00] maybe its a hardware problem [06:00] like the router [06:00] obf213, No to `doze. [06:01] do you have a blinky light on the back of the pc [06:01] obf213, Try restarting router, asking Isp support, try booting form Live Ubuntu CD [06:01] linuxlerner: unlikely, this problem occured at airport, hotel, etc. [06:01] places where i've used it before and it worked [06:02] Does it work when you boot from Live Ubuntu CD? [06:02] nikolam: yeah i wish i had my install cd with me, on vacation though. [06:02] did you tried releaseing and restarting the tcpd [06:03] linuxlerner: probably. how do i do that again? [06:03] ive restarted the comptuer at least 50 times. [06:04] obf213, Try to select OTHER kernel on boot. and see if it works then [06:04] yeah but i have a jeos server i ave to release and refresh the ip at boot for some reason [06:04] yeah tried that as well.e [06:05] is it getting assigned an ip address [06:05] maybe network card just died for some reason or something [06:05] i dont know [06:05] well the network card didn't die [06:05] cuz i see that i am actually receivind data [06:06] yeah. it doesn't really make any sense. [06:06] do you hve firewall? [06:06] blocking port 80 [06:06] or firefor process or whatever [06:06] img getting data in incredibly small volumes, except for when i initialy connect. [06:06] linuxlerner: i don't and used some command for firewal and disabled it anywyas [06:07] SOooo it is Working, surfing and else, BUT slowly?? [06:07] that is dramatically different than having no internet for 2 days [06:08] nikolam: no [06:08] its not working or surfing [06:08] oh sorry then [06:08] all i know is that the system monitor shows that it is receiving data [06:08] in very small amounts [06:08] so its connected to something.... [06:09] does sudo apt-get clean && sudo apt-get update give errors [06:09] linuxlerner, how can he update with no network? [06:10] ^^ [06:10] but clean works fine. [06:10] he says he has some traffic [06:10] maybe cord is bad [06:10] cable [06:10] obf213, do you have a modem on that computer? [06:11] no i dont. [06:11] is it laptop/notebook or desktop? [06:14] maybe that company is using pppoe protocol for connecting to internet? [06:15] or you need to know gateway IP to connet thrue it? [06:15] So in the MIDDLE of an vacation, computer stopped working on Any network it worked day before? [06:17] nikolam: yeah thats correct. [06:17] they day before vacation. at 3:00am my internet worked [06:17] at 10 am it didn't [06:17] and has remained that way ever since [06:17] AFTER System update, right? [06:18] Did there was some system update? [06:18] nikolam: am not sure, maybe? i can't remember ubuntu updates every 5 minutes it seems like. but there was probably an update in that time. [06:18] But, internet worked on same location where it didn`t worked, right? [06:19] or it worked at home, but not on vacation? [06:19] it didn't work at the airport [06:19] where it always works [06:19] aha. the same airport? [06:19] i thought something was wrong with there connection, until everyone else computers connected and worked. [06:19] yes. [06:19] my hometown airport. [06:19] doesn't work at the hotel either. [06:20] so you are using exclusively ethernet connection? [06:20] same MO thought both times, finds networks, connects, no interet [06:20] right now yes, but i have tried wireless, same thing [06:20] no wireless integrated/usb wireless? [06:20] what does ifconfig say [06:21] ifconfig gives him some local ip adress for eth0 [06:21] yeah my wireless card is an intel, its integrated [06:21] and also he seems to use dhcp [06:21] also pinging IP does not work, nor nslookup [06:21] can you ping your gateway [06:21] but if i connect i get ip and everything, but internet willl not work [06:21] so do you have ath0 then [06:22] can you connect to your router setup page? [06:22] do you get list of networks when hover over network icon? [06:22] linuxlerner, its not ne`s router [06:22] linuxlerner, his router, its from airport [06:23] obf213, say, where you are now? in hotel or? [06:23] yes i do get the list of networks. [06:23] hotel. [06:23] it finds the hotel wifi no problem [06:23] obf213, So, when you click on some of them, do you connect? [06:23] so it is encrypted connection or not? [06:23] maybe hotel wifi needs password or money to work [06:24] yes, WEP key [06:24] WAP sorry [06:24] no it does one of those thing were it routes you to there special page. [06:24] but its not an encrypted network [06:25] so it routs you special page and then what asks? [06:26] just some basic info like room number. [06:26] but my linux laptop doesn't even get that page [06:27] it gets nothing but the server not found ff page [06:27] maybe work offline is selected ? [06:27] I used to see some setups where unencrypted wireless was using pppoe protocol with username/pass [06:27] you setup it with sudo pppoeconf [06:27] a-ha .. [06:28] hah i wish [06:28] but this problem has nothing to do with ff. [06:30] well thanks for your help [06:30] i think i'll call it quits [06:30] last one [06:31] ? [06:32] ls /var/cache/apt/archives [06:32] or browse to it [06:32] see what is newer date of debs installed [06:32] newest [06:32] E.G. to see what is last installed few days ago [06:32] My reasoning is IF some update made your network non-working, maybe you can revert to older package and work [06:33] is there any deb`s with dates after that day after 3 am [06:33] yeah i opened up my package manager, and didn't see anything of note in the history [06:34] the lastest update i had was early in the morning the day before i left, and the internet worked fine throughout that day [06:34] open /var/cache/apt/archives [06:34] update was some python stuff, and libxine stuff, i think which is for media [06:34] ok [06:35] look for newest packages [06:35] there is nothing there [06:36] but an empty folder clalled partial [06:36] i think somebody told me to run clean earlier in this thread [06:36] that might have somthing to do with it [06:36] that is done with apt-get clean. uff [06:36] haha. well im SOL. [06:37] thanks. im headed off. [06:37] Ok, next time bring Install Live CD with you. [06:37] Or make Bootable USB from it. [06:37] Its easy to. [06:37] yeah. im going to try that bootable usb business next time for sure. [06:37] later [06:41] nikolam: soo i was just about to shut this thing down. [06:41] went to my network. [06:41] and and.. [06:41] clicked on work group.....and a printer showed up [06:41] some hp somewhere... [06:41] so i go add the printer.. and i see it address [06:41] ping in terminal and it pings right back [06:42] ahaaaaaaa [06:42] but nothing else works??? [06:42] yup just killed the ping [06:42] 0 packet loss [06:42] do sudo pppoeconf try to make connection that way [06:42] you are on hotel`s wireless or ethernet? [06:43] so basically, network is working per se [06:43] i think my computers connected to both but defualts to ethernet [06:45] hmm ppoe or w/e says Provider didn't respond [06:48] If ping is working then it is something else. IF ping is ok, then I don`t know [06:48] last thing is default wateway [06:48] gateway [06:48] try [06:48] route [06:49] ok [06:50] i see stars under the gateway column [06:50] But is that ping is working again.. [06:50] what was IP of that printer? [06:51] 192.168.3.40 [06:51] and you say you saw it on network? [06:51] like on smb working [06:51] and your ip? [06:51] 192.168.0.194 [06:52] maybe you should put 255.255.255.255 netmask somewhere [06:52] i am not that good as this things [06:52] mask for eth0 is 255.255.252.0 [06:54] maybe to set your ip to fixed value in network settings [06:54] you use xubuntu or ubuntu? [06:54] try eather 255.255.255.0 or 255.255.255.255 [06:54] i don`t know how to set it up but with network gui [06:54] there are some examples under man route [06:55] ubuntu [06:58] alright well im goign to sleep thanks for your help [07:03] goodbye [07:03] :) [07:13] hello all [07:17] hi [07:19] nikolam: hi [07:28] got to go [07:28] l8r [09:48] !ops [09:48] ops is HELP! gnomefreak, tonyyarusso, PuMpErNiCkLe, maxamillion, TheSheep, crimsun, mrpouit, Myrtti, PriceChild or cody-somerville [10:14] i've just installed xubuntu-desktop over a server install of ubuntu, how do i launch it? [10:17] sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start [10:42] So I installed the xubuntu desktop, ran the etc/init.d/gde start (i think it was that) command and it booted [10:42] logged in [10:42] everything worked fine, but after a minute or so of fidgeting it told me it had updates to installed and wanted me to reboot, so I did (by clicking the reboot options it gave me) [10:42] but it didnt power off, just went to a blank/black screen [10:43] didnt managed to brig up another shell, so i rebooted with the power button [10:43] now it just boots to the same blank screen [10:43] still cant get a shell up [10:43] so i cant communicate with it at all [10:44] (sorry for the typos, im on an unfamiliar keyboard) [10:44] if i know what local ip it has i guess i could ssh to it via putty, but im not sure how to find that out [10:45] the windows network browser sure won't tell me [10:46] lillis: press alt+ctrl+f1 to get to a text terminal [10:46] is there a way to make it boot in a failsafe/terminal only mode from yaboot? [10:46] i tried, it doesnt work [10:47] did you try esc at the very beginning of the boot? [10:47] before or after yaboot loader? [10:48] (im running the macppc version of ubuntu, on my ibook g4) [10:48] * TheSheep knows nothing about ppc version [10:48] it has some strange bootloader [10:49] my standard keys for getting up text terminal doesnt work [10:49] i.e. the ones i could use in terminal before the problem [10:51] * sinbox knows nothing about ppc either sorry [10:53] there is a #ubuntu-powerpc which might have more people able to halp you with getting a terminal lillis [10:55] if I may: why ubuntu server with a desktop on top? [10:56] well the HDD is getting really slow so I figured I wanted the most lightweight, but then I decided I might as well try xubuntu and see how it went [10:57] you should have gone for the minimal installation, then again I'm not sure there is an alternate CD for ppc [10:58] minimal = server? [10:58] there is alternate for the ppc yes [10:58] ah you meant a minimal installation from the alternate disc. :) [10:59] I could just reinstall it, didn't take much time. But I'd prefer to solve the problem instead-- [11:06] ould it be possible to reach the hard drive fille system from the shell I can launch from the install disc? [11:06] would* [11:07] yes [11:07] you can just mount it and chroot into it and it will act as if booted normally [11:07] so i do something like mount /dev/wd0 /whatever ? [11:08] yeah, mkdir whatever before that [11:08] alright, will try it, thanks alot [11:08] yes boot from the CD, minimal is different from server actually (at least that's what I understand) it only installs a cli version (which is what I am about to do in X minutes here) [11:12] ok, cant find wd0, what device should my (only hd) be located at? [11:13]
