[00:02] harjot: disconnect the current connection you have to your NAS on the laptop.. then make a directory in your /home called nas .... then in a terminal type .. sudo mount -t cifs //192.168.0.3/media /home//nas -o iocharset=utf8,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 .... and see if it mounts and you can see the stuff stored there by going to the nas folder in your /home [00:04] nope [00:04] whats the diff between a link and a HARD link? [00:05] hardlink is as if the folders actually there [00:05] A link is just a redirection [00:05] you mean a soft link vs a hard link vs mounting a share?

[00:06] it separates the commands [00:06] smb://192.168.0.3/media ? [00:07] installing smbfs......

[00:29] whats the issue [00:29] kyan you haven't stated what the issue is.. just that you're connected via wire [00:29] oops. duh. :p [00:29] hehe [00:29] I am getting no connexin. [00:29] upon plugging the cable in [00:30] I get the pc/activity light on the modem blinking. [00:30] I contacted the isp's tech support. [00:30] I'm AFK for a while [00:30] they can see my mac (which I'm using) but they get no feedback when plugging into my linux box. [00:31] kyan: is it a modem? [00:31] Motorola SB5101, to be precise. [00:32] Log into the web interface of the modem from your computer [00:32] see if it works [00:32] sorry, but how? [00:32] try [00:32] 192.168.0.one [00:32] 192.168.one.one [00:32] 192.168.2.one [00:33] ok, i'll be gone for a minute while i do that (same modem/wire) [00:33] that's a cable modem.. [00:33] ok [00:33] Yea [00:33] oh btw it was working for a while... [00:33] Ok [00:33] Scunizi: Still my network thing aint mounted [00:33] So il manually do it [00:34] check the wire! [00:34] if you plug the cable modem in while the computer is on it might not receive an ip address.. [00:34] Na [00:34] I think the modems just not 'talking' to the linux [00:34] harjot: keep reading.. there's a solution involving samba mounts [00:34] Ok [00:34] harjot: it doesn't know it's linux.. [00:35] hehe hes funny [00:35] Scunizi: I know that [00:35] back now... [00:35] works? [00:36] none of them are working. they all (in Google Chrome) give error 105. [00:37] Find your ip address [00:37] ifconfig in a terminal will tell you that [00:37] hey guys [00:37] anyone here running ubuntu/kubuntu on mac? [00:37] will ifconfig work while i'm still on irc here? [00:37] sure [00:38] yeah [00:38] output of ifconfig: lo Link encap:Local Loopback [00:39] inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 [00:39] you don't have an ip address assigned to the computer from the cable modem [00:39] is that all?

[00:41] hes only got loopback? [00:41] There should at least be a disconnected eth0 [00:41] that's because the dhcp server hasn't provided an address to his machine. [00:41] re sudo service networking restart: 'restart: Unknown instance:' [00:41] kyan: you can also ifdown eth0 .. then .. ifup eth0 [00:41] probably because the dhcp can't see my machine... [00:42] @Scunizi: ok, just a minute here... [00:42] Ok im going to bed now [00:42] Cya all [00:42] nighty night [00:42] night [00:42] @harjot: good night!

[00:43] BluesKaj: could be NM isn't tagged to actually engage ethernet.. [00:44] ok, it's repeatedly DHCPDISCOVERing now... [00:44] Scunizi, exactly , NM isn't required [00:44] at interval 9, right now. [00:44] BluesKaj: yea I know.. it just gets in the way most of the time [00:45] (on eth0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67) [00:45] i used dhclient by itself to connect , eeven tho it's NM's backend [00:45] Now, No DHCPOFFERS recieved. sleeping. [00:46] that sounds like wifi [00:46] (plus a no workinf leases in persistant database, before the sleeping message [00:46] kyan: you might want to cycle the power on the cable modem.. you don't have a router between the cable modem and the computer do you? [00:46] nope. straight from modem to my motherboard net ethernet port. [00:46] does anyone know how to get konqueror to use webkit as described in the 4.5 SC release announcement? i'm not sure exactly what package i should be looking for [00:46] cycle the power on the cable modem [00:46] ok. i'll pull the plug on the modem. [00:48] how is the mac connecting? [00:49] kyan, open /etc/hosts.allow ..and enter the IP address of the pcs on the network , like [00:49] oops [00:49] too soon [00:49] no network present.. he should be getting a WAN side IP address not something starting with 192.xxxx [00:50] unless the cable modem is also a router in which case I'm wrong [00:51] http://www.stereopsis.com/flux/ [00:51] anyone know if there's something like that for linux? [00:51] kyan, open /etc/hosts.allow ..and enter the IP address of the pcs on the network , like this http://www.pastebin.ca/1881440 [00:53] jedix: look at that link again.. there is a link in the middle for linux [00:57] Scunizi, dowloaded the compressed file plugin for AMAROK, but after AMAROK reports that the script has been installed and I restart AMAROK, still not getting TWIT video cast to play....any ideas? [00:58] tdnicho: ah .. a twit ... I like listening to Leo. Look at the script. I think it calls an external program [00:59] back online! [00:59] this is in linux. [00:59] Thanks! [00:59] using this with AMAROK 2.3.0........will go try to find the script [00:59] kyan, good! [01:00] Again, thanks to all of you who helped me! [01:00] BluesKaj: please enlighen us as to what modifying hosts.allow did when connected directly to a router [01:00] oops.. cable modem [01:01] so anyone using ubuntu on a macbook? [01:01] BluesKaj: and could it have been done on one line with ALL:192.168.2.0/24 ?? [01:02] Rorschachdigital: ubuntu or kubuntu? [01:03] Scunizi: thanks, I just noticed.. not as good as the osx/windows one though.. only commandline [01:03] kubuntu [01:03] sorry [01:03] hi everyone [01:03] im looking around and i cant find any way to get the sound to work [01:04] Rorschachdigital: don't tell them kubuntu .. but you'll get more respondents in #ubuntu.. [01:04] i've got a problem with network-manager: networking is disabled. none of the solution which exits help [01:04] exist* [01:04] Rorschachdigital: also in #kde [01:04] thank you :-) [01:10] Scunizi, dunno for sure , it might work [01:11] Scunizi, I'll try a similar setting on the desktop pc later to see if it works [01:11] BluesKaj: but why have to do it at all.. what is it doing [01:13] looks like it's just a way of limiting access to the machine from other machines [01:13] Is it just me or is there no longer a "default applications" options in kde system settings? [01:13] it allows IP listed to connect to the modem router without NM in conjunction with /etc/network/interfaces [01:14] rbrunhuber, look in system settings [01:15] BluesKaj: ah.. a way around NM.. [01:15] BluesKaj: there is option in system settings. [01:17] Scunizi, the real expert on networking without NM is Actionparsnip over at #ubuntu [01:18] BluesKaj: he and I have talked a lot over the last couple of years.. NM has never let me set a static IP so I typically uninstall it and go for wicd or just hand code interfaces and resolv.conf [01:19] i've got a problem with network-manager: networking is disabled. NONE of the solutions which exit helps [01:19] Andrew11: wireless? [01:19] exist* [01:19] hello? [01:20] Andrew11: ping... is it wireless? [01:21] Scunizi: "Networking is disabled" from the applet [01:22] you didn't answer the question [01:22] Scunizi: no network at all [01:23] Andrew11: ARE YOU TRYING TO CONNECT WITH WIRELESS? [01:23] Scunizi, yeah , i don't touch resolve ,conf much tho [01:23] Scunizi: it's desktop, ethernet only [01:24] Scunizi: "Networking is disabled" - this is it. the only message i see from the applet [01:24] Andrew11: when you click on the NM icon you should be able to click on enable network.. or possibly edit network [01:24] Andrew11 try http://paste.ubuntu.com/448487/ [01:25] Scunizi: no, only that message [01:25] ArGGu^^: tried [01:25] ArGGu^^: nothing works [01:25] * Scunizi really doesn't like network manager [01:25] :S [01:26] Scunizi: how would you connect using usb modem then? [01:26] Scunizi: android phone? [01:26] Scunizi: sometimes network-manager is just good [01:26] Andrew11: Oh.. you're tethered to a cell phone? [01:27] or a cell card? [01:27] Scunizi: i am not, and looks like i won't be able to [01:27] but that's what you're trying to do? [01:27] Scunizi: i have kubuntu on my laptop and nm works just fine [01:27] Scunizi: i am trying to solve the problem [01:28] Andrew11 run cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state [01:28] what it prints? [01:28] I'm trying to get an idea of what you're connecting to. A cell based usb modem, tethered to a cell phone directly or cable modem.. what exactly? [01:28] ArGGu^^: i am on win7 right now, but i remember that everything is fine there, just as on my laptop where nm works [01:29] Scunizi does it matter? If it says networking disabled he can not connect using anything. [01:29] yes it matters [01:29] some cell based usb modems *don't* work with linux [01:30] Scunizi: i don't want to offend you but i am not connecting to anything, wicd works fne for me, i am just trying to solve that problem [01:31] Scunizi: on my laptop, usb 3g dongle works, android phone works [01:31] Scunizi: i don't need that on my desktop but it won't hurt if i get it working again [01:35] Scunizi, Andrew11, for what it's worth here are some networking tutorials I found useful. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/ ,http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/howto-ubuntu-linux-convert-dhcp-network-configuration-to-static-ip-configuration.html [01:36] BluesKaj: sorry but no way. no way i am wasting my time on tutorials for what must work at the first place [01:37] Andrew11, well, i just decided to avoid NM as much as possible despite the fact that I agree with you [01:37] Andrew11: iirc you are connecting to wired eth0 from your desktop ? [01:38] bukayoo: my laptop, win 7, nettalk irc client [01:38] Nm is just plain flaky altho it's wifi connectitvity is much better in lucid [01:38] BluesKaj: i never had problems with connecting to wifi [01:39] Andrew11: and you are using the plasma-widget-networkmanagement? [01:39] bukayoo: for nm, yes [01:40] Andrew11: noprob with wi-fi but with wired eth0? [01:41] Andrew11: there could be some issues with the driver..what is your nic card driver? [01:41] bukayoo: the only problem with nm: it does absolutely nothing but messeging me with "networking is disabled" [01:42] Andrew11, neither have I , but wicd was my wifi alternative when NM wouldn't work on this laptop [01:42] bukayoo: conditions are very similar to that bug, when nm changes state to false in its config file [01:44] BluesKaj: wicd works great except that it has no support for usb modems [01:47] ok, Andrew11 , good to know ...it does work with some usb wifi cards tho [01:53] well, time to watch some tube with wifey ...night all [02:04] Hay there everyone, is anyone having problems installing XBMC on Kubuntu 10.04 64bit? [02:05] I can't seem to install it when I add the PPA'S or the SVN ppas [02:06] coreberserker: not sure but does medibuntu have that package? [02:07] I'm not sure Scunizi its the first time I've heard of it, what is medibuntu if you don't mind? =] [02:10] Scunizi I found medibuntu, but it doesn't come with the xbmc packages [02:15] is it true that firewall and ant-virus protection aren't really needed for Linux? [02:18] Well A firewall is always a good thing to have [02:18] But an Anti-virus is not needed [02:23] thanks [02:23] No problem [02:23] =] [02:42] scunizi new kernel is perking away :) I didnt see any usb dongle stuff tho in the menuconfig..sigh === 20QAA663X is now known as squinteyez [03:33] hello [03:33] * jengirl23 runs away [03:35] hello [03:35] hi [03:35] are you the only one here, ablyss [03:36] looks that way jengirl23 [03:36] oh I just installed Kubuntu, and am using it for the first time... love it!

But otherwise you might need to spend in order to receive [03:43] yeah, makes sense [03:43] I don't have a ton of cash right now, so free is a good thing [03:43] yep [03:43] i went to linux too because solaris was not free [03:43] right, do they even make solaris anymore? [03:44] last i heard cisco owns them [03:44] oh, I can't keep track of who bought what anymore [03:44] me either [03:45] nice thing about linux is wine.. you can run a lot of windows programs on linux [03:45] also mythtv.. is like tivo, but you guess it... free [03:45] guessed* [03:45] no way! that's so cool [03:45] listings cost tho [03:46] I will have to give that one a try [03:46] does mythtv require any special hardware? [03:46] the guide info is $20/ year.. that is true [03:46] well worth it!

[11:22] Torch: nope [11:23] amichair: modprobe -r should have complained then that it could not remove it. try rmmod. i know for sure it complains in that case. [11:23] amichair: also no guarantee that "btusb" started the bluetooth kernel thread. [11:23] amichair: so not sure if this is helpful at all here ;-) [11:24] Torch: modprobe -r gave a warning about some .conf, but not an error [11:25] amichair: weird.

It says HDA Intel (Conexant Digital) is not working [11:26] I guess that's my driver [11:26] It was working just 2 days ago with the same driver [11:27] Any idea what the problem could be? === sparrowg3 is now known as sparrowg1 === sparrowg1 is now known as sparrowg3 [11:32] hey, sound just stopped working in my kubuntu.
