=== ZachK_ is now known as zkriesse [02:14] oooooh, i'm on windows using xchat and it feels weird...my ubuntu 10.10 install won't boot now. probably related to the updates for the kernel that came out earlier, but i don't have any older kernels to use since i had to free up disk space. any ideas on what i can do using a live cd? recovery mode doesn't work either. i can use a live cd and backup everything and do a fresh install if i have to, but i reallllly don't want to go throug [02:14] h that tonight since i have a paper to work on. also, hey guys, been a long time, sorry to come back with a problem :) === jussi01_ is now known as Guest48460 [03:33] No wireless networks listed [03:36] earthshade, iwconfig [03:37] earthshade, do you see an active wireless interface? [03:40] No wireless ext [03:41] Reverend_Ruff: [03:43] earthshade, lspci | grep -i wireless - post here [03:44] Is is Lspci L grep or ispci i grep? [03:44] Reverend_Ruff: [03:46] Lspci [03:46] LS = list, PCI = pci card buses [03:49] Reverend_Ruff: ??? [03:49] Oh sry [03:49] It didn't reload [03:49] earthshade just open a terminal and enter "lspci | grep -i wireless", then post it here [03:50] What is after lspci is that an L or a | (vertical line) [03:51] earthshade: It's a bar [03:51] | [03:51] Ok [03:51] It is called a pipe, it the the vertical line on your keyboard [03:51] it is the, my bad [03:52] Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8335 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03) Reverend_Ruff [03:53] I am not familiar with this card. One moment, let's locate the drivers for it [03:54] http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/marvell-88w8335-chipset-netgear-wg311-pcicard-driver/ [03:54] There you go [03:54] So what do I do with it [03:55] ??? Reverend_Ruff [03:56] earthshade, open that page and follow the directions. =) [03:57] Reverend_Ruff: But if you notice... This involved me downloading a driver but I'm not connected! [03:57] earthshade, you cannot plugin to an ethernet cable to connect temporarily? [03:57] Reverend_Ruff: No tengo [03:58] The wifi is being used my multiple other computers [03:59] I'll switch to xp, download there, put it on a USB stick, and then switch back... [03:59] earthshade, yeah, you'll need to do that [03:59] ... Sooo tedious though [03:59] Sorry [04:00] I'll keep you up to speed when I finish... I've gotta do some other stuff too while I have xp [04:00] (a connection) [04:01] ok [04:02] Reverend_Ruff: Do I need steps 4+? or just 123 [04:03] Reverend_Ruff: [04:03] One moment, let me look... [04:04] You do need wpa_supplicant if you have security on the wireless signal [04:04] It's WEP [04:04] Do I still need it? [04:05] Reverend_Ruff: [04:06] I believe so [04:06] Oh ok [04:06] Ask in #ubuntu. Hook will know [04:08] lahwran said no [04:08] Reverend_Ruff: [04:09] Ok [04:30] Reverend_Ruff: So um I did the steps and for iwconfig it still said no wireless ext [04:30] Reverend_Ruff: Do I need to reboot? [04:31] Possibly [04:31] What do you think it is [04:32] Try rebooting to reload all modules, or you can do it manually with rmmod , modprobe [04:32] What do I put as mod name [04:33] ?? [04:33] Reverend_Ruff: [04:34] wg311 might be it [04:35] Lol I'm already rebooting [04:36] Ok I logged in [04:36] What now? [04:37] Reverend_Ruff: ? [04:37] iwconfig, look for an active interface [04:38] No wireless ext [04:38] wlan0 isn't showing up? [04:38] No [04:39] sudo apt-get install pastebin && iwconfig | pastebin [04:39] do you have eth0 and eth1? [04:39] sometimes wireless nics are shown as eth [04:39] Oh snap [04:39] Nevermind, you don't have internet [04:39] bioterror, yeah, they do on my comp [04:41] eth0: no wireless extensions [04:41] lo: no wireless extensions [04:41] Reverend_Ruff: ^^^ [04:42] Hmmm [04:42] You asked in #ubuntu? [04:43] This whole topic? [04:44] Reverend_Ruff: [04:44] Just your issue [04:44] Ok [04:44] Ya I did and h00k couldn't figure it out [04:44] Neither could ilovefairuz [04:45] Ok, one moment, let me look around [04:45] Ok cool [05:13] having problem installin google earth on Maverick. I have downloaded the .bin file from http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/ [05:14] after downloding just right click on the file and select "Open with other application" then click on "use a custom method" and type ' sh ' then click on Open [05:16] are you asking or telling? [05:16] shahan: That's not how you execute .bin files... [05:17] shahan: Navigate to where you downloaded the file, type chmod +x , then run ./ [05:17] aveilleux: ya I tried these process too.... [05:17] same return [05:17] shahan: What is the console output? [05:17] aveilleux: let me say [05:18] or right click on it and choose properties and permissions "execute as " (can't remember exactly) [05:18] * Cheri703 tries to point out gui ways to do stuff as new people are often uncomfortable in cli [05:19] Cheri703: You really should learn the CLI ways of doing it :/ [05:19] well, yes [05:19] in theory [05:19] but there are a lot of new people who aren't to the point of "you really should" they just want it to work [05:19] in the easiest way that is hardest to mess up [05:19] Cheri703: I always find the Terminal explanations the simplets [05:19] simplest* [05:20] because quite frankly, when I started, telling me to "navigate to where you downloaded the file" would not have meant ANYTHING to me, wouldn't have even told me to open terminal [05:20] are you a programmer? [05:21] Cheri703: Yes, but I learned how to use the Linux CLI before I was a programmer. [05:21] ok [05:21] aveilleux: http://paste.ubuntu.com/516619/ [05:21] a lot of people just coming over from windows have NOOOOO familiarity with it [05:21] so I just find it helpful to offer them an alternative [05:21] Cheri703: I know shahan dows [05:21] does* [05:21] ok [05:21] good :) [05:21] I didn't, so just thought I'd throw it out there [05:22] shahan: Try re-downloading the file. It's an error in one of the contents of the file. [05:22] be back in a bit. [05:22] aveilleux: ok.... [05:22] aveilleux: [10:20] Cheri703: I know shahan dows [05:22] aveilleux: wat does "dows" means? [05:22] does [05:22] he clarified right after [05:24] shahan: does* [05:24] Mohan_chml: ya... nice to meet you Mohan_chml :) [05:25] ummmm! Goole Earth right! /me will google in minutes [05:26] I am downloading it from the google site http://www.google.com/earth/index.html [05:26] shahan: what about trying sudo apt-get install googleearth ? [05:27] Mohan_chml: didnt tried [05:27] ah...! I think I found a community page. Lemme look [05:27] shahan: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GoogleEarth [05:27] Mohan_chml: http://paste.ubuntu.com/516620/ [05:28] argh! [05:28] shahan: look at Medibuntu repository at the link I gave [05:28] Mohan_chml: ok [05:29] you have to add the repository and all procedures to that are there [05:29] I will brb. mom shouts coz I woke up just now :D [05:30] Mohan_chml: but I think Alternative Installing is more easy then others.... [05:32] Mohan_chml: Alternative Installion will give us the latest edition provided by Google [05:35] I have added the medibuntu repository .. still same problem http://paste.ubuntu.com/516623/ [05:36] brb... after taking bath [05:45] shahan: when I hit "here" it downloads Google Earth. you checked that? [05:49] Mohan_chml: no [05:49] downloded the file again from the Google Earth [05:49] shahan: http://paste.ubuntu.com/516627/ [05:49] I added the repository like that [05:51] Mohan_chml: ok... its adding [05:51] :) [05:52] Mohan_chml: http://paste.ubuntu.com/516629/ [05:52] argh! [05:52] Mohan_chml: argh! what does it mean? [05:53] Mohan_chml: "argh!" [05:54] nothing. just felt sad. I Think you have to download the packages again or try clicking "here" in the medibuntu repositories header [05:57] Mohan_chml: I have downloded the package from the google site and tried to install it using terminal http://paste.ubuntu.com/516632/ [05:57] it says the xml file has a line missing [05:57] Mohan_chml: ya [05:58] Mohan_chml: do u have any alternate idea? [05:58] try downloading an older version instead (Just give a try ) ;) [05:58] Mohan_chml: ok... [06:01] I will bbl in around 2 hours [06:04] Mohan_chml: গত...

[07:08] wont sync with rhythmbox [07:08] I don't know anything about ipods, but I can try to find out [07:08] what/how is it corrupted? [07:08] it wont sync and says it has files on it but none are showing [07:10] gtkpod wont even recognise it has an ipod [07:10] connected [07:10] hmm...ok [07:10] so probably not corrupted, just not showing up? [07:11] when i connect it the hard media shows up... [07:11] ok [07:12] i just checked in term [07:12] and it has the files listed in dark green/mauve [07:12] whats that mean? [07:13] the colors? perhaps folders and individual files? [07:14] does this look remotely familiar? http://gtkpod.wikispaces.com/FAQ#bufferioerrors [07:14] ew, nvm, that requires recompiling the kernel... [07:15] what kind of ipod? [07:17] a blue shuffle [07:17] ok [07:17] serial number4hb207kyx7 [07:18] http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/07/how-to-use-gtkpod-to-manage-your-ipod-in-ubuntu/ [07:18] read through that, see if you've done those steps [07:21] * JoeMaverickSett suggests banshee for music syncing. :) [07:23] * JoeMaverickSett also suggests switchgirl to use banshee if she just wants to sync music. ;) [07:24] I have to get to sleep. it appears that JoeMaverickSett has some experience with ipods (or at least syncing), so I'll leave you in his hands. [07:24] have a good night [07:25] :O [07:25] * Cheri703 doesn't sync audio AT ALL, so you know more than she does [07:25] okie. i know abit. :) [07:36] Compile problem on Maverick http://d.imagehost.org/view/0507/drive [07:36] its from an NTFS drive named "iostream" [07:37] but working good when from the /root http://b.imagehost.org/view/0901/desktop_7 [07:40] /me is proud of her new job, she is a tea [trainee equality assistant] [07:40] switchgirl: did you manage to work it out? [07:41] JoeMaverickSett: nope [07:41] switchgirl: you just want to sync music? [07:41] i just want some music on my ipod so i can walk out the door dancing [07:42] [when i am not dancing i feel sad] [07:42] switchgirl: have you tried banshee? or even rhythmbox? [07:42] yeah [07:43] thats why i said : [07:43] wont sync with rhythmbox [07:43] switchgirl: ah, i didn't see that. :/ [07:43] (07:07:55) switchgirl: wont sync with rhythmbox [07:44] switchgirl: have you tried gtkpod? [07:45] yes [07:45] switchgirl: still a *no go*? [07:51] wb switchgirl [07:51] Can someone know what I need to play video over the net? I can play TED video, neither CNN or YouTube as it matter!!!!! I have shockwave flash, gnash installed as mozilla plugins [07:51] switchgirl: you forgot this channel?? :P [07:52] LeMoiLib: checked the shockwave's home page?? [07:52] or is having any updates regarding your issue! [07:52] may be [07:53] I check if it was up to date and mozilla said it is [07:53] ah! [07:55] LeMoiLib: Had you tried with any other flash players? [07:55] like??? === Guest48460 is now known as jussi [07:58] adobe flash player and other players [08:00] yes all not working [08:00] i have to go to work [08:03] switchgirl: so the your ipod is detected by your machine and not players right? [08:04] Mohan: I'm trying your suggestion [08:04] let you know............ [08:06] Okies =] [08:31] Mohan I installed Flash player and everything is fine now. Thanks. I had another issue, yesterday I installed Wine on my netbook and ubuntu crash as a result. I had a terminal a the starting telling especting from me thing that I don't know and then much latter on it was simpler and there was the ubuntu start up interface with option : F to try to fix the problem, S to skip and M to mount manually. How I try to proceed manually but then it was a [08:33] LifeLiner: Wine?? :( [08:34] LeMoiLib: Fix did not work? [08:34] Manually mounting the Operating system is some thing to scratch up [08:34] nope [08:34] what do you mean???? [08:35] Wine is that software with help you install widows app in ubuntu [08:36] LeMoiLib: lemme look at the crashes. but wine will make the M$ applications hook up the ubuntu codes and corrupt them. We strongly say one to have Wine as Option 2, having Option 1 as trying alternate softwares available [08:38] Don't worry, I regret trying that out! Can you suggest another player??? CNN video and youtube are working but not TED!!!!! [08:38] gimme url to TED [08:39] Hola bioterror [08:39] hi mohan [08:39] http://www.ted.com/talks/stacey_kramer_the_best_gift_i_ever_survived.html?utm_source=newsletter_weekly_2010-10-12&utm_campaign=newsletter_weekly&utm_medium=email [08:39] hi bio! [08:39] greetings :D [08:40] gotta check that one out, becouse if you can play videos at youtube, you should play anywhere [08:40] LeMoiLib: He is bio TERROR :D [08:40] hope I don't give you head ache today!!!!!!O:-) [08:40] you said it! [08:41] hmmm, I can watch it with my windows + chromium [08:41] gotta look that sourcecode ;) [08:41] me too [08:42] LeMoiLib, you have adblock on or something like that? [08:42] what is that? [08:42] Ummm...! Lucid + adobe flash plugin is also playing it [08:43] LeMoiLib: use update manager and check for updates please. jUst wanted to verify [08:43] ok [08:46] Mohan the cubuntu want to restart........... [08:46] ubuntu!!! [08:46] LeMoiLib: try it :) [08:47] ok then, see you just now! [08:51] mohan the update haven't resolved the TED issue [08:54] aww..! [08:55] LeMoiLib, are you using flashplugin-nonfree? [08:55] so, TED plays with shockwave right?? [08:55] phillw and bioterror: is it possible to have two flash players at a time? [08:55] I dunno [08:55] no I said [08:55] I suggest you to remove the one you're using [08:55] * Mohan_chml haven't concentrated much in videos [08:55] and install flashplugin-nonfree [08:56] not unless you really want to have a bad time, as they will fight each other [08:56] yeah, just like with java [08:56] get the openjdk off and install sun-java-jre ;) [08:56] bioterror: but i feels this issuse is strange. coz adobe plays all as i use it [08:56] Is flash and Shockwave together a probelm then??? [08:57] LeMoiLib: they said so ^^ [08:57] should I disable shockwave see!!! [08:58] hah you have that? try it or even remove it =] [08:58] I thought you removed shockwave and installed adobe [08:59] Well shockwave is only in Mozilla, can find it with synaptic [09:00] and there is not option to uninstall it in Mozilla plug-in window [09:01] okay try disabling [09:02] I did, now I have this message on the site: You either have JavaScript turned off or have an old version of the Adobe Flash Player. To view this video you need to get the latest Flash player. [09:02] If your browser allows only "trusted sites" to execute Javascript, you should add the "googleapis.com" domain to your whitelist to allow our Flash detection to work properly. [09:03] I have already the latest Flash so maybe it is the java problem????????? [09:04] ah..! bioterror your eyes are here? [09:13] LeMoiLib: I looked at edit->preferences->applications tab. the way is that you can find the extension of TED video and set it to shockwave. first, enable shockwave [09:15] I'm back, using my cable to send a crahs repport of Maverick 10.10 on my netbook [09:15] was there any instruction for me??? Mohan? [09:16] LeMoiLib: I looked at edit->preferences->applications tab. the way is that you can find the extension of TED video and set it to shockwave. first, enable shockwave [09:16] ok [09:17] done [09:17] then..... [09:18] umm...! enabled shokwave?? [09:18] yes I did [09:18] 2) edited the Applications in preferences by finding the extension of TED video [09:20] what do you mean by finding the extension when I'm in edit>preferences>application??? [09:23] yep [09:24] find application extension of TED videos before going there [09:25] Mohan: should I type that in my browser or what? [09:32] LeMoiLib1: Look at the page info of the TED link and find the video format [09:33] and you can find that video format listed in Applications tab. on the right to it, you can edit which player is to play it. select shockwave. I think this will do [09:33] can't see it! can you copy it for me please [09:34] or I don't understand what you mean [09:35] ummm... give me a min :) [09:35] Bah! internet got down and the page is not loading :'( [09:36] sorry for us! [09:37] I can't find the format :'( [09:37] but you saw the list of video formats listed in Applications tab right? [09:38] yes [09:43] try changing it and that is my last bullet to shoot [09:44] Changing what? [09:47] LeMoiLib1: changing the action for the content type in Applications [09:49] Mohan let us drop that issue, I'' watch it with windows. Thank you very much for your time, I hope you find something about manual booting. See you next time [09:50] Hi, can someone explain to me how to safely expand my ubuntu partition? [09:53] ............. [09:54] uhh guys whenever i minimize the ubuntu vbox, and come back to it its locked and i have to enter my password again and again [09:54] everytime i do it [09:54] how do i stop it from locking itself? [09:55] Robinux: System > Preferences > Screensavers [09:56] Robinux: you can uncheck to disable "lock screen" [09:58] oh ok [09:58] thanks i'm on it [09:59] oh waw it worked, JoeMaverickSett thanks a dozen mate [09:59] Robinux: no problem. :) [10:00] Robinux: glad it worked out. drop by here anytime you are in need of help. ;) [10:03] Website ( http://www.somewhereinblog.net/ ) browsing problem on Maverick. but works good on Lucid. Its loading the mobile version site [10:06] hehe thanks JoeMaverickSett , i'm quite new to ubuntu just started using it 2 days ago, and quite new to linux in general, i started using it 3 months ago [10:13] hehe thanks JoeMaverickSett , i'm quite new to ubuntu just started using it 2 days ago, and quite new to linux in general, i started using it 3 months ago [10:13] you probably didn't get that as you pinged out [10:13] Robinux: yeah, didn't see that. :) [10:14] * JoeMaverickSett has been using Ubuntu for 6 months. :) [10:14] no kidding [10:14] wow [10:14] and linux in general? [10:15] Robinux: same day, same time. ;) [10:15] aha [10:15] so you're a beginner going intermediate or something [10:15] :P [10:16] JoeMaverickSett, you've learned alot in 6 months [10:17] bioterror: did i? if so, i don't know.. :D [10:17] you know lot of things that I dont and you've been using since 5.10 :D [10:17] I've been using [10:17] even [10:17] cool [10:17] bioterror: i know alot of things? what things..?? btw, i think we should take it to the offtopic side? [10:17] well [10:18] :D [10:19] offtopic side? [10:19] JoeMaverickSett ? do you mean another channel? [10:19] yes [10:19] cool there's a #ubuntu-offtopic [10:20] yes, these channels are being logged and these are mainly for helping out, not for chit chat. if you know what I mean ;) [10:20] haha [10:20] oh ok i see [10:20] so like even if there's no one in need of help we're not allowed to 'chit chat' [10:20] hehe [10:22] yes [10:22] that's why we have these more laidback channels ;) [10:23] becouse people can search from logs help [10:23] nice nice [10:23] and if the logs are full of non-helping chats, it takes more resources to find the information [10:23] i understand mate [12:06] hi my name is raja ...i am new to ubuntu [12:06] i need a solution for speed up the upgrade server [12:07] i doing upgrade of 10.10 [12:08] what you want to speed up? [12:08] yes yes [12:09] can you be more specific [12:10] i am doing upgrade with good speed connection hav 100kBps in my college but i am getting slow speed [12:10] well [12:10] sometimes networks might be slow [12:10] ok [12:10] 46% [1 linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic 23.0MB/31.7MB 72%] 2,962kB/s 8s [12:10] Get:1 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid-updates/main linux-image-2.6.32-25-generic 2.6.32-25.45 [31.7MB] [12:11] seems to work fine to me [12:13] genupulas: Software Sources can ping all servers and select the fastest one for you [12:22] andrew_46 ok [13:18] Good morning! :) Anyone online that is good with default routes? My server is providing its DNS and DHCP services correctly, however clients are not able to access the internet. I [13:18] ... I'm fairly confident it's a stupid mistake I've made with the default routing on eth0. [13:36] Mohan_chml: I rebuilt my home server yesterday using 10.4 lts and no GUI. DHCP and DNS are working, but clients can not get to the internet. I'm sure it's a routing issue. Any tips on where to look? [13:37] I am not good with routers. I will google and will look for the issue ehcah [13:38] It's not routers. [13:38] your machine is routing if it shares internet to other in network [13:38] I'm pretty sure I need to add a default route to eth0 [13:38] I took it in the Linksys, Cisco sense... [13:39] sorry [13:39] I'm trying to stay away from a GUI and webmin this time. I went with the supported and reccomended ebox on my last server and it started acting up. [13:40] I dodnt like zentyal that much [13:40] didnt work like it should have [13:40] ehcah, I'm using pfSense myself and I can recommend it [13:41] bioterror: Never heard of 'pfsense" I will definately google it. [13:42] I really like webmin. I make a lot of changes from terminal, but it allows me to review them. I'm trying to stay the reccomended course. [13:42] ebox on the other hand, completely takes over. I found it extremely frustrating and limiting as you can not manually edit files. ebox doesn't like that. [13:42]
