joshua__genii: found a bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/33000400:00
pulaskiWalex: Thank's for your patience.  I use Amarok also and I have used it in the past to play CDs.  I haven't played any music from CDs with either Amarok or KsCD for that matter.  Right now Amarock also shows no CD as inserted.  Perhaps this is a larger problem than I realize.00:01
joshua__how much damage would apt-get install sysvinit do?00:02
Walexpulaski: unlikely to be a larger problem. You can anyhow check that the drive and/or the CD in the drive is recognized in severaql ways.00:02
geniijoshua__: If I recall, the system is moving away from sysvinit00:03
genii!upstart00:03
ubottuUpstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/00:03
=== root is now known as Guest71027
joshua__they seem to not have the utter reliability that sysvinit still has00:05
macohow so?00:06
joshua__maybe you've got it too00:06
joshua__try exiting from a console login00:06
joshua__I don't get another login prompt00:06
avihaybjoshua__: are ya trying to restart x-server with ctrl+alt+backspace?00:10
joshua__I re-enabled that keystroke after an X hang that brought the system down00:10
joshua__unfortunately it doesn't respawn X00:10
joshua__or exit from a console shell doesn't restart that either00:10
avihaybit happens to me sometimes00:11
avihaybkilling and reruning kvm usualy does the trick00:11
avihayberr kdm00:11
joshua__a getty not coming back though (same bug different instance) is absolutely unacceptable00:13
geniijoshua__: What reports result of: runlevel00:16
pulaskiWalex: Yes my device manager allows me to rip tracks using K3b which I have just done successfully.  It also allows me to view the contents of the CD audio disc using Dolphin however none of the files appear.  I don't want to waste your time.  All I want to do is play a cd.  I wil struggle with this further on my own.  Thanks for your help.00:16
joshua__N 200:16
geniiHm, N 2 is correct00:17
joshua__are those files in /etc/event.d shell scripts?00:18

joshua__that's probably your router00:29

joshua__therefore try assigning the dead pc 192.168.1.500:30
blikouhow i can re install the network man,ager without downloading ?00:30
joshua__you will be downloading00:30

joshua__try traceroute 1.2.3.4 and see if it goes anywhere00:32
joshua__it should get a few hops before dropping00:33
blikou1.2.3.4 is a pentagon ip i don t want to go to guantanamo00:34
geniiifconfig eth0 up     and dhclient eth0       should work in most situations where ppl have a router00:34
joshua__I'm not used to having consistant names for dhcp client00:34
joshua__last I checked 1.2.3.4 is unallocated00:35
blikoui was kidding :)00:35
joshua__oh man ubuntu doesn't install traceroute by default00:36
geniitracepath00:37
joshua__I'd go ahead and try dhclient and hope that works00:37

After that it fails to work in every respect, it has nothing in it, it won't empty, I can't fine the Trash file (I forgot it's name but it's a hidden file) and other users can't use trash either.02:22

zuz__through dolphin04:09
leinlogin to kde/gnome/whatever as root04:12
geniilein: That is strongly NOT a good suggestion04:13
CoJaBo-AztecIs there a good terminal based editor for editing config files? lol04:13
geniiCoJaBo-Aztec: I usually use sudo nano /etc/filename04:14
leingenii: didn't say it was a good idea. just an answer to  zuz__ question04:14
zuz__im scared of using nano04:15
CoJaBo-Aztecgenii: Needs to be something simple, but nano breaks the syntax with its word wrap... why?04:15
zuz__im trying to config privoxy04:15
zuz__wanted to use kate04:15
zuz__but then when i saved it was it couldnt04:15
zuz__so im trying to open it as root04:15

CoJaBo-AztecNano is pretty easy, but beware of word wrap. Is there a better easy one?04:15
zuz__but i dont know the commands04:15

mike_yungHi, I'm considering switching to Ubuntu.  Can anyone here tell me how the package management works in real life?05:24
mike_yungI'm faced with my 5th Gentoo reinstall, in 3 years.05:25
mike_yungObviously, I want to put something in which won't break.05:25
geniimike_yung: debian derivativeslike *buntu use dpkg and apt.05:25
genii!apt05:26
ubottuAPT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Adept (KDE) or !KPackageKit (KDE)05:26
geniiThe front-ends vary as you can see by the factoid05:27
mike_yungI used debian, 6 years ago.  apt-get didn't work that well for me, back then.05:27
mike_yungbut now we have front ends05:27
mike_yunghow are they?05:27
geniimike_yung: I tend to just use the CLI with apt-get or aptitude05:27
geniiYou get more useful info if something fails05:28
mike_yungso things fail here to?05:29
mike_yungthat's my experience with debian, years back.05:29
geniimike_yung: Usually not when installing packages from official repositories05:29
mike_yungthings fail.  when you try to fix it everything breaks05:30
mike_yungah, I see05:30
geniiHowever many people add Launchpad PPA repositories, medibuntu, etc etc05:30
mike_yungOK.  Thanks.05:31
mike_yungWhat's Ubuntu hardy?05:31
geniimike_yung: It's the 2008, April release05:32
genii(hence the 8.04 designation)05:32
geniimike_yung: LTS (longterm support) releases are every 2 years...it was the previous LTS version05:32
geniiThe next will be 10.0405:33
mike_yungIs it official?  I need MediaTomb.  It's currently in Debian unstable, Debian testing and Ubuntu hardy.05:33
geniimike_yung: Still supported for a while yet :)05:33
genii!eol05:33
ubottuEnd-Of-Life is the time when security updates for an Ubuntu release stop. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases05:33
geniiThe above link shows what releases are supported until when05:34
mike_yungOK, thanks.  Nice to get it first hand.05:36

dwidmann_groowy: I've never been very good with this sort of thing actually ... I'll take a peak around and see if I can find a good forum post in the mean time though07:36
dwidmann_groowy: anyhow, it has something to do with the program taking exclusive control of the sound device07:37
dwidmann_groowy: setting up some sort of software mixing with alsa config or maybe pulseaudio would be the fixes I'd look for07:37
groowydwidmann: thank you, i googled it but it s very strange to search "cant hear other aplications while one running"07:37

apparlehow to manually set ipaddress,subnet mask, gateway10:10
ForgeAusifconfig? I guess10:18
=== forge_ is now known as ForgeAus
apparleForgeAus: any method with GUI10:22
ForgeAusgui, use the system-settings applet for network settings10:23
apparleWhen I open network manager, click on add wired network connection and then select Manual Ip..............the 'add' becomes enabled but nothing happens when I press it10:23
ForgeAusuh maybe ask in #KDE? I don't know, it could be a bug... I would just assume it should work normally...10:24
corafaik network-manager can't do static IPs10:24
ForgeAuscor? interesting...10:25
corI prefer /etc/network/interfaces, way easier10:25
Dr_WillisHmm.. I thought network manager could set static ips10:25
Dr_Willis!static10:25
ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about static10:25
corif you want static, remove gui rubbish and do it direct. or use wicd10:25
corI don't use it, but last time I checked it could not10:25
corthe best way to setup static IPs is with fixed leases on your gateway. a piece of cake with IPCop/othe Linux gateway10:26
Dr_WillisMy router has settings to rember mac/ip  so i get 'static' ip's bsically :)10:26

ubottuSorry, I don't know anything about ethernet10:27

apparlecor: now it seems you yourself have to tell me10:27
corseriously, most network configurations can be done with a single line in /etc/network/interfaces10:27

corapparle, it's easy enough to bring up the interface manually from the shell, if you know what you are doing. see the ifup man page10:44
corand ifconfig10:45

corthe gparted boot sidk is handy for all sorts of manouveres like this10:47
corapparle, that, and ensure /etc/resolv.conf has some valid entry in it10:47
cornameserver <IP HERE>10:47

apparlecor: which Ipaddress should I put in resolve.conf.............10.200.5210:48
apparle.10010:49
cortry the gateway IP10:49
apparleok..............I have to put the 'nameserver 10.200.1.1' in resolv.conf and then10:50
