[00:05] how do i identify as root in the root folder? [00:06] or better, how do i edit a file as root? [00:07] anyone usin s2disk for hibernation? [00:07] !sudo | SkEmO [00:07] SkEmO: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli ) . Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (Gnome, XFCE), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [00:32] I can't get my computer to recognize my printer. It suddenly stopped recognizing the printer a week ago. I have 10.04, and the printer was being recognized after I reinstalled with the latest version of kubuntu. My husband, who also has the new version, has no printer recognition problems, so it seems to be an isolated problem. [00:33] I am very new to the Linux scene, so I am unfamiliar with technical jargon. [00:33] schwarz22, which printer? [00:34] I have a Canon i560 [00:34] It's about 6 years old === avihay_ is now known as avihay [00:38] schwarz22, does the printer show up in system settings/printer configuration ? [00:39] No, it lists two options: 1) print to postscript and 2) print to pdf [00:40] My previous troubleshooting options included unplugging the printer, and then plugging it back in, and closing and reopening okular. [00:42] I need a new computer fast... I'm thinking about getting a laptop, but I have never had a laptop... can I plug in my external LCD monitor and get a 3D-accelerated dual-head desktop with all laptops? ATI? nVidia? Because I don't want to be restricted to a tiny laptop screen all the time [00:54] schwarz22, according to some quick research , the BJC7000 linux driver works with cups and your i560 printer. [00:55] Can you tell me which package that driver comes in? And if not, can you tell me how to install that driver? [00:56] ok crazy question, to update from a cd, i need to get the alternate cd or the desktop cd/netbook cd are fine? [00:59] SkEmO: desktop is ok [01:00] oh phew [01:01] schwarz22, unfortunately i haven't been able to find the linux driver yet, but I'm still researching [01:01] Okay. [01:14] schwarz22, could you run this in the konsole and post the output pls, bjfilterpixus560i [01:14] command not found [01:15] I found a deb file on openprinting.org [01:15] Trying to install it per their instructions [01:29] Got the driver now, just so you stop looking... thanks for the help. [01:31] schwarz22, does it work ? [01:32] yeah, working ok [01:33] got the bjc-7000 driver as part of the gutenprint lsb package from openprinting.org [01:35] Hey all, how do you enter single user mode on 10.04 [01:36] it used to be that you could hit escape in grub, and then select it, but that doesn't seem to work anymore. [01:38] schwarz22, good stuff :) [01:39] for some reason in 9.10 on another laptop the default user isn't being allowed to list wirelesss networks or connect to them (but I can get it to list them with sudo iwlist wlan0 scan) [01:40] could there be some permission issues going on? ath5k problems? [01:41] Thanks. :) [01:41] hi all, anyone use kita2 here? I have the following error "Kita2 needs ja_JP.UTF-8 locale." anyone know how to fix it?

[09:28] how to compole ktorrent 4? [09:28] compile* [09:28] might be people are all drunk from the weekend no biggie lol! [09:28] yeah [09:28] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo [09:29] omg ppl get drunk on the weekends?! blasphemy! [09:29] ohnoes!! [09:29] im at the make a directory in usr/local/src but i dont know what im doing [09:29] cd stopped!! [09:29] damn it!! [09:30] hmm [09:30] well,...its been an alright memorial weekend for me so far [09:33] i forgot about memorial day >.> [09:33] i missed the sales [09:34] zus: the command to create a directory is mkdir. [09:36] e_t_, i've never been that comforable with the cli...plus am i creating a directory for ktorrent 4? then where is the previous version installed? [09:37] SkEmO, i did not go anywhere myself...only to a family get together really [09:37] zus: are you compiling ktorrent from source? [09:38] e_t_, yes trying to, :) [09:39] As of version 4.0rc1 you first need to compile and install libktorrent before you do ktorrent [09:41] zus: Have you downloaded the tar.bz2 files from the website yet? [09:41] i've downloaded the ktorrent-4.0.0.tar.bz2 and libktorrent-1.0..0.tarbz2.... [09:41] Where? [09:41] theyre in my download folder [09:42] OK. Let's make a special build directory in your home. At the same time, let's get you more used to the command line. It's really not scary. [09:43] thanks,.. been at this (off and on all day) sorta... [09:44] Open a terminal window and type "mkdir ~/build" [09:46] ok [09:48] Now type this: "mv ~/Downloads/libktorrent-1.0.0.tar.bz2 ~/build/" [09:48] That will move the tarball into the build directory. [09:49] Do the same, but with "ktorrent-4.0.0.tar.bz2" instead of libktorrent. [09:49] no such file in directory ?!?! [09:51] Hmm. OK. Well do this part graphically. Open your downloads folder in Dolphin (or Konqueror) and try to find the two files visually. Then copy and paste them into build [09:52] both files copied... [09:53] OK. Back to the terminal. Change directories with "cd ~/build" [09:54] ~/build$_ is what i got correct? [09:55] Yes. [09:56] Now give the command "tar -xjvf libktorrent-1.0.0.tar.bz2" This will uncompress the file into something you can use. Do the same for the other file. [09:56] is this the same as https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingEasyHowTo i was up to "sudo chown yourusername....." part [09:56] ok [09:57] You don't have to do the chown thing because this is inside your home directory. You already own it! [09:59] alright, both files are done [10:01] Well do libktorrent first: "cd libktor" Then, before pressing Enter, press Tab. That should complete the directory name for you. [10:02] ok [10:03] this does seem easy enough but i'd never had known.. [10:04] Well make a build directory here, then change into it: "mkdir build && cd build" [10:04] damn it!!! [10:04] mountall doesent work! [10:06] ok [10:06] Hi, I used to connect my pppoe connection through knetworkmanager, but for some reasons I made a connection through pppoeconf in console, after that I cannot connect with KNM, and it says Unmanaged, and no more respond [10:09] zus: Now, we probably need to install some software, because KDE stuff has particular dependencies. Install the kde-devel meta-package with "sudo apt-get install kde-devel". This will take some time to download and install, depending on your connection. After this, I think you will be able to follow the instructions on the ktorrent website. [10:09] hi [10:09] hi [10:09] how stable is kde 4.4.80 in maverick? [10:10] Mehrab: What are the contents of /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state ? [10:11] e_t_, do i do it the same directory we last built? [10:12] e_t_ : here http://pastebin.com/ti1n5aLt [10:12] zus: It doesn't matter where you call apt-get from. It doesn't actually install things where you are, it always installs things to where they need to be. [10:14] Mehrab: Is NetworkManager running? (ps -eaf|grep network) [10:14] hello [10:14] how can i identify the default runlevel [10:16] wedo: The default runlevel for Debian-derived systems (like Ubuntu) is 2. This is different from other Linuxes like RedHat/Fedora, whose default runlevel is 5. [10:16] e_t_ : It's working, I think. http://pastebin.com/3uGW2UCz [10:17] e_t_: when I check the runlevel it gives me "unknown" [10:17] how can I force it to boot on runlevel 2 [10:17] Mehrab: Oops! Capital N (ps -eaf|grep Network) [10:18] wedo: Where are you checking the runlevel? [10:18] in the konsole [10:18] wedo: What command? [10:18] e_t_: i used command : runlevel [10:19] e_t_ : http://pastebin.com/9843Z3ec [10:19] wedo: You have the latest Ubuntu? The same command on my system returns "N 2". [10:20] yes I have lucid 10.4 with all updates [10:21] e_t_: my main problem is that there are some autostart programs does not start automaticaly e.g.: Knetworkmanager & cups [10:21] Mehrab: I'm sorry. That's the end of what I know to do. [10:23] wedo you lucky man/girl [10:23] e_t_ : thanks anyway ;) [10:24] SkEmO: what do u mean :) [10:24] wedo my laptop died after all teh updates :S [10:24] never reached lucid [10:24] now all the filesystem on it is unmounted and i cant mount it back [10:24] oh sorry to hear so [10:24] it sucks [10:29] wedo: were there any errors during the update process? [10:29] no [10:30] it was working fine [10:31] wedo: I'd try an apt-get remove + apt-get install cycle on what's not working. That might reset them. [10:32] e_t_: I did so but its same [10:32] e_t_: I think the problems comes from the runlevel [10:32] e_t_, its done installing the last bit ya had me do,...this is from the site...do i start from line 3? http://pastebin.com/FXQSCECA [10:33] e_t_: I cannot shutdown or reboot my pc through the kickoff menu options, I have to use the command line [10:34] zus: I think you should be able to start from #5. I had you do #19 just now, so you can skip that. [10:36] wedo: I think the runlevel is another symptom of a deeper disease, though I don't know what. [10:36] e_t_, thank you so very much...the site makes a bit more sense as i read it and scrolled back... [10:36] thanks e_t_ [10:36] zus: I told you the command line wasn't scary. [10:37] oh do i uninstall the old ktorrent? or will this overwrite it? will it be a folder in my home all in my way or tucked away where the old ktortent is now... [10:39] e_t_, is lines 5 and 6 supposed to be one line? [10:40] zus: The last step in the compile process is "sudo make install". That will write it to system directories so that it can be used. It is a different step from just "make". Usually, compiled software will be installed to /usr/local/ instead of /usr/. [10:45] lines 5 and 6 made the cursor become > [10:48] Press Ctrl+C to get out of that. Be sure you get the whole line, including the .. at the end: "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` .." That should take a little time to complete. Then, once cmake is done, type make. [10:52] gees -- configuring incomplete, errors occured! [10:52] missinf GMP_INCLUDE_DIR GMP_LIBRARIES is the text, [10:54] zus: Let's try "sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev" They do cmake again. [10:58] e_t_, ok.. got errors again,...(missing: QCA2_LIBRARIES QCA2_INCLUDE_DIR) was there something i didnt download i should have? [11:01] zus: Yes. This is the un-fun part of compiling -- getting all the dependencies in order. Enter the command "aptitude search qca2" and see what comes up. You are looking for packages that end in -dev (dash dev). You can do this process for all the errors you get until you don't get any. If aptitude doesn't come up with what you need, put the error into Google. That will almost certainly tell you what to do. [11:02] and then do this for the other folder as well the ktorrent4? [11:02] zus: Yes. [11:03] e_t_, thank you very much for getting me this far [11:03] grrr [11:04] zus: Well, I've got to go for now. It's 3 in the morning and I need to sleep. [11:04] * SkEmO takes a gun and shoots his laptop [11:04] * SkEmO slaps LjL [11:04] ;D [11:04] e_t_, i hear you its 6 am here! [11:04] SkEmO :) [11:04] 5am here!!

[11:07] SkEmO, ya can shoot me too lol later guys [11:07] lol [11:07] baii zus [11:07] o/ [11:07] SkEmO, more like bbl :) [11:08] orly? [11:08] showertiem? [11:09] SkEmO: i checked the logs... you've upgraded to lucid but the upgrade failed and your filesystem doesn't mount? [11:10] yes [11:10] SkEmO: can you reach a root shell now? [11:10] im at it [11:10] but as root@(none):~# [11:10] D: [11:10] SkEmO: is this a recovery shell? [11:11] yes [11:11] SkEmO: do you have internet from it? [11:11] hmm i dont know [11:11] i guess so [11:11] its plugged [11:11] SkEmO: try "ping www.google.com" to check [11:12] ping: unknown host www.google.com [11:13] SkEmO: hm that's not too good. unfortunately with current Ubuntu versions, if NetworkManager doesn't start, you don't get a connection [11:13] SkEmO: now i'm shooting in the dark here, but try "apt-get -f install" to fix any broken packages you might have, see what the output is like [11:13] LjL i think this never made it to lucid, not that i think off [11:14] eh, NetworkManager has been around for a few releases though, not just Lucid [11:14] w: not using locking for read only sth [11:14] E unable to write to /var/cache/apt [11:14] e: package lists or status file coult not be located [11:14] wait, not locvated, parsed [11:14] SkEmO: hmm so there's still a problem with (un)mounted filesystems. what does the output of "mount | grep sd" look like? [11:15] it says /dev/sda1 on /type ext 3 (rw, relatime, erros= remount [11:16] oh, so that's mounted... but it can't find /var/cache/apt? that's not too good [11:16] try an "ls /var" to see if the /var directory exists [11:17] backups cache crash lib local lock log mail [11:17] crach and lock are highlighted [11:18] SkEmO: what about "ls /var/cache/apt" (just tell me if it gives an error or show files) [11:18] archives pkgcache.bin srcpkgcache.bin [11:19] SkEmO: anyway, would reinstalling be an option? do you have files you need to recover? because this isn't looking *too* good really [11:19] it can probably be fixed, like everything, but it's going to be a headache [11:19] well i've been trying to reinstall [11:19] but the installation freeze [11:19] that when the cd works >.> [11:20] SkEmO: do you have a fast internet connection? if so, you should probably get the Minimal CD, which has a text-mode installer and downloads everything from the internet (so it doesn't have to read from the CD) [11:20] i got 4mb connection now [11:21] im gonna go buy cd's today [11:21] i ran outta them [11:21] SkEmO: did you burn the CD you used at the slowest possible speed? sometimes CDs that are burned too fast don't work well [11:22] i did with the last one [11:22] but still doesent read it [11:22] i burnt it at 6x [11:22] IMO its the dvd drive [11:23] SkEmO: hmm. well, let's go on looking at your recovery shell anyway. see if you can get an internet connection... do "nano /etc/network/interfaces", and tell me if there's something saying stuff similar to "iface eth0 inet dhcp" (might not be eth0) [11:24] sec, lemme get there again, i rebooted [11:24] hmm [11:24] wait before the grub screen there there ethernet controller working [11:25] eh but that's just the BIOS saying that [11:34] ok LjL [11:34] i get a new scren [11:34] and it says [11:34] auto lo [11:34] SkEmO: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation. [11:34] iface lo inet loopback [11:37] SkEmO: ok, try this: echo "iface eth0 inet dhcp" >>/etc/network/interfaces [11:38] (be careful, you need *two* >> signs there, otherwise you'll delete the file) [11:38] oh god [11:38] so lemme exit this then [11:38] SkEmO: oh, i made you do nano... you can just add that line in nano if you prefer [11:38] wait on shell LjL? [11:38] SkEmO: just add the line iface eth0 inet dhcp in nano [11:39] then ctrl+x to save and exit [11:40] firefox is too slow on kubuntu! why is that so [11:40] LjL do i need the "? [11:40] SkEmO: no [11:40] hmm [11:41] i get an error writing on /etc/network/interfaces [11:41] oh crap [11:41] the filesystem really isn't mounted for writing then, despite what "mount" says [11:41] SkEmO: exit nano, tell it to not save, then do "mount /dev/sda1 -o remount,rw" [11:42] SkEmO: then tell me if "touch /test" gives you any error [11:42] [668.548828] EXT FS on sda1, internal journal [11:43] can anybody tell me why firefox and dolphin are very slow and use almost 100% of cpu [11:43] i wouldn't know satish [11:44] is there any bug? [11:44] LjL nope, no errors [11:44] SkEmO: ok, then try again this: echo "iface eth0 inet dhcp" >>/etc/network/interfaces [11:44] should i update [11:45] iface: command not found [11:45] SkEmO: no this time type the whole thing, including echo, "" and everything [11:46] oh lol ok [11:47] ok [11:47] done [11:47] gives me no errors [11:47] SkEmO: ok, now try "ifup eth0" [11:47] fail [11:48] :| [11:48] fail like what [11:48] ifup: failed to open statefile /var/run/network/ifstate/....
