[00:41] hello [00:41] yes Irving? [00:42] i need some help with connecting kubuntu to my wireless network [00:43] i am on a fresh install of kubuntu 9.04 [00:43] i added my network info, hit scan, selected my SSID, entered security [00:43] kubuntu;can actually work on most wireless devices out from the box right [00:43] but it will not connect, and I can't find the connect button [00:44] @sunoracleadmin it did work previous install [00:44] sunoracleadmin: yes but check the hardware comp. list to be sure [00:44] not even a week ago i had a fresh install from the same CD and it worked fine [00:44] Irving: are you using the network manager? [00:44] I didn't have to tinker with anything, plugged in my usb wireless card and it connected automagically [00:44] it says Network Managemet [00:45] in the task bar area, when I mousover it shows etho0: unavailable and wlan0: not connected [00:45] Irving: the previous install was also 9.04? [00:45] correct [00:46] i do recall seeing a different network setup area before when it was working though [00:46] so you meant it worked before but now it stop working [00:46] http://vizzzion.org/images/blog/networkmanager-kde4.png [00:47] yes [00:47] new install though [00:47] i was trying to put windows on, had major problems, formatted everything, installed kubuntu 9.04 again [00:47] the screenshot shows what I remember seeing, something similar to that with the bars on the networks (in my case only one, my wireless network) [00:48] i don't have that now, just the box to the left on the screen shot [00:48] Irving: You need to finish the network setting to be able to connect [00:49] what do you mean [00:50] wherein you have to supply an ssid and an ecryption key or a password [00:50] i did do that [00:50] Irving: In the Image it says that you are connected to your default network [00:51] the image isn't mine, i just googled that quick [00:51] just to show what I can't find, that menu on the lower right showing the networks [00:51] i remember seeing it before, when I was able to connect, now that doesn't come up [00:51] I went through and entered all of my settings in the other box to the left but it doesn't connect [00:52] are you sure you have internet connection to your router [00:52] yep, on it now on laptop via wireless [00:53] Irving: ah It seems that the wireless hardware isn't working right. Open terminal and run "iwconfig" to determine if your wireless is working. [00:54] try that first irv [00:54] hi [00:54] ok ran it, various things come up that all say "no wireless extensions." except for wlan0 [00:54] I have a big problem with pre-9.10 [00:54] wlan0 says: IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"" [00:55] I cant enter partitions manually [00:55] Mode:Managed Frequency 2.412Ghz [00:55] anyone experienced that? [00:55] viada: please join #ubuntu+1 for Karmic prroblems [00:55] Acess Point: Not-Associated [00:55] Tx-Power=15 dBm [00:55] Retry min limit: 7 [00:55] RTS thr:off [00:56] Irving: now run "iwlist scanning" do any networks come up? [00:56] Fragment thr=2352 B [00:56] madberry: thanx [00:56] yes it found my network [00:57] vlada: yw [00:57] Irving: Try restarting this sometimes works [00:57] brb guys,rebooting... [00:57] Can anyone recommend a "ToDo Manager"? [00:57] ok will do, but I have tried this several times already [00:58] rosco_y: like a to do list type thing? [00:58] rosco_y: Kontact [00:58] Irving: exactly [00:58] madberry: is that a contact organizer? [00:59] i know of a great site for it, tons of features on it was free when I used it a while back [00:59] I need a todo list to keep me focused on my tasks [00:59] http://www.goalsontrack.com/ [00:59] Irving: is it opensource? [00:59] web based app, sends you reports on precentages and stuff [00:59] idk [00:59] rosco_y: Yes but it also holds kmail, notes etc. [00:59] i don't thinks so [00:59] (not that I want to modify it, I just can't aford to pay for software right now :(( [01:00] no its free [01:00] no software to download, just sign up for an account [01:00] rosco_y: Open Kontact the todolist Icon is on the left [01:00] and you can create projects, tasks within each project, when you would like to have it done by, etc [01:00] madberry: Thank you, I'll give it a shot [01:01] Irving: it does look very nice, it's sold as a service I see... [01:01] $10 per month? [01:01] oh ok sry, havn't used it in a while [01:01] it used to be free, but that was a while ago sorry about that [01:02] Irving: :) sokay--thanks in every case! [01:02] np [01:02] ok madberry i'm rebooted, still not connecting [01:02] Irving: no list either? === root0 is now known as obamanator [01:03] what do you mean no list? [01:03] Irving: in the plasmoid [01:03] um [01:04] im very new to this, not sure of all the terminology [01:04] madberry: wow, I really like this Kontact [01:04] Thanks for the tips! [01:04] rosco_y: Me too lol yw [01:05] i have the network management icon in the task bar on the lower right === obamanator is now known as sunoracleadmin [01:06] Irving: No list? [01:06] im not sure what you mean [01:07] you should see a list of wireless networks when you right click on the icon [01:07] when i right click the icon I get... [01:07] Manage Connections, Network Management Settings, Panel Optioms, Remove this Network Management [01:08] Thunderbird can do it all with plugins, too. [01:10] no list yet [01:11] Irving: Did you hand edit the /etc/network/interface file? [01:11] no [01:12] that file contains only two lines for me [01:12] auto lo [01:12] iface lo inet loopback [01:14] Irving: that is correct hold on searching for an answer [01:14] ok ty [01:16] what sort of connexion we setting up? [01:16] man:interfaces is where to start [01:16] in konqueror [01:16] wireless connection [01:17] WPA? [01:17] cor: Quick recap he's trying to connect to a wrieless network with knetwork manager but no networks sjhow up in the list of the plasmoid [01:18] iwlist scanning [01:18] in the shell [01:18] gives a list of networks [01:18] I guess you need to be root. do sudo -i before starting all this stuff [01:18] not for iwlist scanning [01:19] if the interface is up, it shows you all the available networks [01:19] its wpa [01:19] first you need to get the interface up [01:19] ok [01:19] http://vizzzion.org/images/blog/networkmanager-kde4.png [01:19] the thing on the rightside of that screenshot? [01:19] he gets a list through iwlist but not in the plasmoid [01:20] I don't use any of the GUI network tools, so I'll be no help with that side of things [01:21] I don't use it either I don't like the network managers [01:21] is there a way I can connect through the terminal [01:21] sure [01:22] you simply add some lines to /etc/network/interfaces,. and then bring up the interface [01:22] It's time for dinner here cor you want to pick it up? [01:22] well, I can try! [01:22] cool [01:22] thank for the help madberry, enjoy your dinner [01:22] Irving, see here: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch05.en.html [01:23] ok [01:23] Irving: yw I'll be back later if it doesn't work out [01:23] at least, keep it handy as a reference [01:23] There's a document I;ll need to locate, hidden deep inside your system, one moment [01:24] or two [01:24] Irving: You could try this: http://madberry.org/2008/08/wireless-with-wpa_supplicant-easier-then-you-think/ [01:25] aha! /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples/network-interfaces [01:25] okay off to dinner [01:25] k bye madberry, thanks again [01:26] it has no WPA-specific examples, but it is an excellent reference to help you understand what's going on. Once you do, you can setup *any* network interface [01:29] Irving: in your case the interface would be wlan0 in my article [01:29] The cool thing about the interfaces file is that as well as the ifup commands, you can do pre-up commands, and basically run any unix command-line as part of the ifup (interface up) process. In other words, no matter how complicate dthe setup is, you can store all the steps required in that one file, and they will be processed automatically by ifup [01:29] and post-up, and more [01:30] okay really gone now lol [01:31] heh been there [01:33] hmm [01:33] madberries guide seems easy to follow, should I follow those steps? [01:34] btw i looked through the network-interfaces [01:34] seems interesting, so you can actually edit the interfaces file to custom setup the connection however you want it? [01:37] ah, I can't do madberry's guide because I don't have wired connection to do the apt-get parts [01:37] sorry, got sidetracked there a second [01:38] the interfaces file is very powerful [01:38] how are you chatting? [01:38] other computer [01:38] you could apt-get download and transfer over [01:39] well this computer is vista not linux [01:39] here's a simple looking guide for WPA, skip past part 1: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-debian-ubuntu-linux-wlan-wpa2-configuration.html [01:39] ahh i seee! [01:39] it's still doable! [01:40] but all you need is already on-board [01:40] Once you get the correct lines in there, you just do ifup wlan0 and wham! [01:40] thereafter, bootup does it automatically [01:40] sounds good [01:41] only problem is I am very new to linux [01:41] so this is all very overwhelming haha [01:41] basically ifup -a, which is "all interfaces" (in whatever order you specify) [01:41] it is, you are right [01:41] it's a totally different way of doing things [01:42] Kubuntu. more than any other flavour of decent Linux, is Windows-like, but underneath all that, it's still Linux, and to take full advantage of that, you need to adopt, at least partially, a UNIX mindset [01:43] do you know how to access man pages? [01:43] typing man:interface like i did before into knoqueror? [01:43] yes! excellent. these aren't for beginners, sadly, and they mostly expect you to *already* know what you are doing. [01:44] but once you know a wee bit, they start to become *extremely* useful [01:44] Do you know what a command-line is? [01:44] terminal? [01:44] well, yeah, it could be in the terminal [01:45] basically, it's a"command" (usually a program, but often one of the built-in terminal (okay, "BASH") commands [01:45] followed by some arguments [01:45] oh ok [01:46] foo-program --special-behaviour /path/to/my/file [01:46] The sound isn't working on kubuntu. Any ideas on how to solve this? [01:46] ^^ the program ^^ a switch ^^ a file you want the program to do something to [01:46] ok i see [01:46] parts 2 and 3 are optional [01:47] but that is a command, and any time anyhting happens anywhere on any computer, it's because some process or user or *something* sent a command-line to the system [01:48] it's the same on windows. but once you understand that *everything* that's going on was started and gets controlled this way, you can do all sorts of powerfully useful things [01:48] yep one of the reasons I started tinkering with linux [01:49] you might have guessed, I'm a believer in folk understanding the fundamentals. cuz it saves you SO MUCH TIME, later [01:49] that makes sense [01:49] really, I see folk wasting so much time messing around with stuff it would have taken a fraction of the time to UNDERSTAND, if only they'd read the manual, slowly! [01:49] it really does! [01:50] for example, I like Gilles Peterson [01:50] A dj on Radio 1, UK [01:50] i prefur smooth radio [01:50] On windows, I used to send firefox to the radio one site every wed night, and go listen [01:50] but usually I forgot [01:51] and sometimes I forgot and missed the entire show [01:51] On Linux, it's different [01:51] How do i install a netbookremix.img file onto a ssd card [01:51] sd i mean [01:51] I have a script that runs on a cron (aka "schedule"), that contact the bbc site, which tells anothe program to grab the stream, which tells another program to convert it and drop it into my Radio folder [01:52] and finally, tells another program to grab the playlist [01:52] But when I wake up Thursday, it's *just there* [01:52] sounds cool [01:52] it is cool [01:52] it's power [01:52] i'd love to learn more, and intend to [01:52] Tall those wasted minutes mount up [01:52] *all [01:52] cor: what a great script you got there [01:52] script? [01:53] oh right! the radio! [01:53] feck yeah!] [01:53] get_iplayer [01:53] it's available! go for it! [01:53] not mine. I just downloaded it [01:53] and cronned it up [01:54] There's a cgi back-end so you can index shows loacally in your browser, plugins for other networks, and much much more. check it out! [01:54] I got the entire Desparate Romantics 6-part on beautiful 720p HDTV [01:55] you use bit torrent? [01:55] (automatically piped through ffmpeg on download, to switch out the container from flv to mp4, so me media players don't fart on it) [01:55] I do, yes, 24/7 [01:55] me too [01:55] well usually [01:56] in a fix right now, i boned my computer [01:56] one sec [01:56] ok [01:57] thats cool boneing... [01:58] boned yer puter!?! you dirty sod! [01:58] which port? [01:58] lol [01:59] haha [01:59] i got a virus of some kind [01:59] WIndows? [01:59] ran combo fix which helped me many times [01:59] yes windows XP [01:59] GOD is telling you to switch 100% Linux [01:59] LISTEN TO GOD! [02:00] i know right haha [02:00] after running combo fix, computer never came back up [02:00] ouch [02:00] and my XP cd is 5 hours away [02:00] got to catch some sleep nice meeting all here at the channel cya latr [02:00] take care [02:00] maybe! [02:01] someone i know got me a SP3 corporate disk image of xp [02:01] that won't install for anything [02:01] no XP cd to use my legit license [02:01] and now no network connection for kubuntu :( [02:02] fighiting a losing battle here lol [02:02] memory stick? [02:02] anyways, back to the interfaces [02:02] did you check out that page? [02:03] i did try to put the contents of the SP3 image onto a thumb drive, that didn't get me anywhere though [02:03] which page, I looked at a few of them you sent [02:03] I meant for transferring any stuff over. but there should be no need. just good config. [02:03] http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-debian-ubuntu-linux-wlan-wpa2-configuration.html [02:04] instead of ra0, yours would likely be wlan0, I'd imagine [02:05] yes thats what it is [02:05] The important thing is to set the correct ID and keys [02:05] I don't think you need pre-up commands for this, there should be native commands, but I'd try both [02:06] auto ra0 [02:06] iface ra0 inet dhcp [02:06] pre-up iwconfig ra0 mode managed [02:06] pre-up ifconfig ra0 up [02:06] pre-up iwconfig ra0 essid nixcraft [02:06] Irving: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:06] pre-up iwpriv ra0 set AuthMode=WPA2PSK [02:06] hello? [02:06] woah! [02:06] my fault [02:07] any more than 3 lines, use pastebin [02:07] i was just going to verify which section i should be dealing with [02:07] you are on the right track, yes [02:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/269494/ [02:08] so i would replace ra0 with wlan0 [02:08] My point was, that guide exclusively uses pre-up commands, but that should not be necessary. For examplepre-up iwconfig wlan0 essid "foo" is the same as.. [02:08] and then contiune through the settings with my ssid and such [02:08] wireless-essid foo [02:08] yes, that's about the size of it [02:08] then save the file and do .. [02:08] ifup wlan0 [02:09] InterFace UP [02:09] not that second line, that's me exaplaining the first [02:10] ok, what about the auto lo, iface lo inet loopback that is already in the interfaces file [02:14] hello again i installed blender in my ubuntu its not working good my brother has mac OS its working very good :( , what can i do ?? [02:17] ? [02:18] idk where they went fahad [02:18] id help you but, I have very little knowledge of linux [02:18] ok anybody else ? [02:20] if your still here cor, i added that bit to the interfaces file but it wouldn't let me save it [02:21] yo! [02:21] no save? how you editing? [02:24] opened file by clicking, opened with Kate [02:25] i see [02:25] you need to edit as root [02:25] the easiest way is to open the folder as root in Dolphin [02:25] then you can work with it, edit it, whatever, as a root user, all transparently [02:25] or else use mc [02:26] sudo mc [02:26] assuming mc is installed. if not, do.. [02:26] sudo aptitude -y install mc [02:26] still there? [02:27] yep sry people IMing me [02:28] afaik, you can only open a folder as root in Dolhin if you have a proper root user setup on your machine, with a password and such. I'm not certain because I don't have machine's setup without a root password for more than a few minutes during intial install [02:28] but it's easy to do [02:29] hmm i have a login password [02:29] sudo passwd root [02:29] i did open from dolphin, but it opened in kate [02:29] first enter your regular admin password [02:29] THEN [02:29] enter your desired root password [02:29] then repeat it [02:30] THEN you have a root account with a proper login, and folk can't boot your machine directly into recovery mode and take over your system! [02:30] passwd: password updaed succesfully [02:30] kewl [02:30] so do i hae to re login now [02:30] n ow, in dolphin address bar (I assume you know how to get to that).. [02:30] sftp://root@localhost/ [02:31] you get a login window, user user: root, password: your new root password [02:31] so far so good? [02:34] i put that into the bar in dolphin it says Unknown error unexpected SFTP error: 8 [02:35] do you have an ssh server running? [02:35] oh feck! that's something that probably need to be installed on a vanilla Kubunto FOR SOME OBSCURE REASON!!!!!!! [02:35] openssl-server [02:36]
