phaytmobileHi. Typing on my phone. Ubuntu 10.04, attempting to connect to internet. Unable to get wired or wireless working, although wireless was working awhile ago. Can anyone help me?06:49
=== Laggg is now known as RealEyes
seidosphaytmobile, I don't know if I can help but I will try.  Have you tried ifconfig in a terminal?07:23
=== Laggg is now known as Laggg|conky
Laggg|conkywhat would this command do? sudo add-apt-repository ppa:conkyhardcore/ppa08:40
swoodyLaggg|conky: that would add the repository (conkyhardcore) to your sources list08:42
swoodythat way you can download all new packages/updates from there08:42
Laggg|conkyhow can i update ALL of them at once?08:43
swoodywell, I shouldn't say *all*, but it would allow you to install/update whatever packages are in that repository08:43
Laggg|conkythe last command i ran was: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install conkyforecast08:43
Laggg|conkyhow do I install 'all' the packages?08:43
swoodyyou can still use the regular update manager and apt-get to do updates/upgrades08:43
Laggg|conkyin that repo lol08:43
swoodyLaggg|conky: well, you can either make a list and do it manually (sudo apt-get install packx packy packz...)08:44
swoodyor you could use Synaptic which may be easier08:44
swoodythere is a 'Source' filter on the left side which will show you all the available packages in whatever repository you select08:44
swoodyso if you click on the 'Source' filter and then the 'ppa:conkyharcore/ppa' repo it will list all available packages08:45
swoodyor rather it is named 'Origin' not 'Source' sorry08:46
Laggg|conkyi think im doing it correctly08:49
swoodythat's good :)08:50
swoodyany issues?08:50
Laggg|conkyW: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/conkyhardcore/ppa/ubuntu/pool/main/c/conkybanshee/conkybanshee_2.05_all.deb08:51
Laggg|conky  Something wicked happened resolving 'ppa.launchpad.net:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)08:51
Laggg|conkyall the packages failed08:51
swoodyhmm...08:52
swoodyodd, that link works for me :/08:53
swoodytry to refresh your package list again, does it show any errors?08:53
Laggg|conkyi clicked refresh and it's DLing a bunch of files now08:54
Laggg|conkybut they are all failing again08:54
swoodydo you have a proxy or anything else that you're connecting through?08:55
Laggg|conkyCould not download all repository indexes08:55
Laggg|conkyNope, no proxy.08:55
Laggg|conkyFailed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/lucid/Release.gpg  Something wicked happened resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)08:55
swoodyhmm... that's from Ubuntu now, not the PPA repo as before08:56
swoodyare you running Lucid or Maverick?08:56
swoodylucid I take it from the repository name above ;)08:56
Laggg|conkyLucid.08:58
Laggg|conkymaybe I need to check for updates? Log out and then back in or something?08:58
swoodyI suppose, logging out or rebooting couldn't hurt08:59
swoodyLaggg|conky: are you using a wireless connection?09:04
Laggg|conkynope lol09:04
swoodyLaggg|conky: well it looks like there's a lot of good info in this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1475399.html09:05
swoodyespecially post #23: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9397572&postcount=2309:06
swoodyLaggg|conky: any luck with that so far?09:11
Laggg|conkyi tried updating and its still giving me errors.09:12
Laggg|conkyW: Failed to fetch http://packages.medibuntu.org/dists/lucid/non-free/i18n/Translation-en_US.bz2  Something wicked happened resolving 'packages.medibuntu.org:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname)09:13
swoodyand you changed your DNS address(s)?09:13
Laggg|conkyDNS?09:19
swoodyyes, as mentioned in the forum thread I posted above, this is most likely a DNS issue09:24
swoodyit seems to have solved this issue for others with the same problem09:24
swoodyespecially post #23: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=9397572&postcount=2309:24
Laggg|conkyswoody: that worked out swell09:28
swoodyLaggg|conky: oh? That's very good to hear :)09:29
Laggg|conkywhat does this E: /var/cache/apt/archives/conkydeluge-pre120_2.13_all.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/conkyDeluge', which is also in package conkydeluge 009:30
Laggg|conkyE: /var/cache/apt/archives/conkydeluge-pre120_2.13_all.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/bin/conkyDeluge', which is also in package conkydeluge 009:32
swoodyhmmm...09:32
swoodyit looks like there are two different versions of the same package, I would suggest trying to remove it and then reinstall it how you just tried09:33
Laggg|conkywell im going to sleep now09:36
Laggg|conkythx for the help though09:36
Laggg|conkysee you around tomorrow maybe :)09:36
jordiGood morning. Anybody there that can help a Xubuntu newbie?11:09
jordiI installed Xubuntu 10.4 but I cannot play mp3 files, Exaile keeps on saying "You do not have a decoder installed to handle this file. You might need to install the necessary plugins." Googling I get in a mess about which packages I need.11:11
Silver_Fox_Activate the medibuntu repos and then install the w32codecs (or w64codecs) and also the xubuntu-restricted-extras, and you should have just about every codec you could ever need.11:13
Silver_Fox_http://www.medibuntu.org/11:13
jordiThanks, let's try...11:13
Silver_Fox_Pleasure11:14
duanedesignmorning all11:36
zeroseven0183Good evening!11:36
zeroseven0183:-)11:36
geirhaHm. Does gstreamer use w32codecs? I thought only mplayer used that.11:38
geirhaGood mid-day11:39
jordiIt works! Thanks Silver_Fox_!11:42
Silver_Fox_xine also uses  w32codecs geirha11:42
Silver_Fox_So, not only mplayer11:42
Silver_Fox_Pleasure jordi11:42
Silver_Fox_gstreamer uses them also geirha i believe11:43
geirhaI see11:44
Silver_Fox_Hello zeroseven0183  and duanedesign11:46
bobo123is it possible to block a packet so it can't be installed by mistake?12:39
bobo123if I for example want to be sure that a library I don't want gets installed because of a game I depends on it.12:41
duanedesignbobo123: you want to prevent a package from being installed13:01
duanedesignand that package is a dependency of another package you want to insstall13:02
duanedesignbobo123: To block a package for apt-get you need to edit /etc/apt/preferences13:06
duanedesignbobo123: http://entwinery.blogspot.com/2009/09/preventing-gcj-from-being-installed-by.html13:09
bobo123duanedesign: I just looked around in Synaptic and it seems that if I select "Lock version" in the menu Packet for a packet that isn't installed, it will not install that packet (but strangely enough thinks it is ok to install programs that depend on it anyway)13:10
bobo123ahh.. nice webpage. yeah that is of course a reason too :-)13:11

kikelahi, some used with success RhythmBox to download podcast ? (lucid lynx x64)21:49
squaregoldfishkikela: Yep!21:50
kikelasquaregoldfish, all the podcast i tried to download i have a download failure flag. Works with Gpodder but if i can use Rhythmbox i prefer21:54
kikelai need some special parmameters ?21:54
squaregoldfishNot that I'm aware of. Have you checked the the podcast download location in Preferences?21:56
kikelayes, but i have always a failure to download21:58
squaregoldfishI was just checking that the directory that rhythmbox tries to download to actually exists.21:58
squaregoldfishIf that's OK, try running rhythmbox from the terminal and see if it prints any errors when downloading.21:59
kikelai launched rhythmbox from terminal but i have no return on the terminal when it tries to download22:02
squaregoldfishYou can run rhythmbox in debug mode: rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt22:08
squaregoldfishSee if that says anything useful.22:08
kikelathe only thing is this ((17:12:50) [0x18c8040] [rb_threads_init] rb-util.c:482: GMutex isn't recursive)22:15
kikelain debug mode, it don't start downloading22:15
bobo123something that whould be cool is if error messages written to the terminal window by a gui program, would pop up as a dialogbox instead if the program wasn't started from a terminal windows but from the normal program menu :-)22:15
kikelaand after is this :(17:12:50) [0x18c8040] [main] main.c:185: going to create DBus object22:16
kikelaand after : THE END22:17
kikelano more entries in rhythmbox debug txt22:17
squaregoldfishHmm. Well, if you're not getting any messages from the debug log I'm stumped. Better ask at the forums or the rhythmbox mailing list. Sorry I can't be of more help.22:18
kikelasquaregoldfish, thank you very much for your help i'll try to find a gnome channel22:19
duanedesignkikela: do you have an ipod/iphone attached to the computer?22:24
