| johnny77 | I was trying to install a gmail notifier made by google when I ran into this error http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/521049/ Can anyone help me? | 00:58 |
|---|---|---|
| nhandler | johnny77: What notifier is this? And any reason for not installing one from the repos? | 00:59 |
| johnny77 | nhandler: Honestly, I'm not sure why I didn't check the repos. New to Ubuntu and just didn't think of it. Searched for gmail notifier KDE and found one by google. | 01:01 |
| johnny77 | nhandler: have the instructions for the install if that helps. Or should I just use the repo? | 01:02 |
| nhandler | johnny77: You should really use the repositories for most of your needs unless you specifically need an application not in them. This will provide you with updates and other benefits. I found kcheckgmail in the repositories which is a kde4 gmail notifier | 01:03 |
| johnny77 | nhandler: If I show you the instructions, can you help me get rid of what I did? | 01:05 |
| nhandler | johnny77: Yeah, I can try. | 01:05 |
| nhandler | johnny77: A link to where you downloaded it from would also be useful | 01:06 |
| johnny77 | nhandler: http://code.google.com/p/gmailnotifier/ | 01:08 |
| johnny77 | nhandler: I bet your shaking your head, "Stupid noob!" | 01:08 |
| nhandler | johnny77: You should be able to just follow the Uninstallation instructions on that page to remove it. | 01:09 |
| phillw | johnny77: that's one thing we never do, the dumb ass-holes are those who do not ask. You asked, so you are not in that category. | 01:21 |

| _spacer_ | Hi | 02:21 |
| _spacer_ | question: how come i cannot apply changes to network settings in 10.10 desktop i am trying to set up a static ip. | 02:23 |
| _spacer_ | i suppose that should have ended with a ? | 02:23 |
| Cheri703 | what do you mean you can't apply changes? | 02:26 |
| JoeMaverickSett | i could apply changes, i just did it. | 02:26 |
| _spacer_ | ok maybe we can talk a little about permissions | 02:30 |
| _spacer_ | i think that might be the problem | 02:30 |
| Cheri703 | hmm..ok | 02:31 |
| _spacer_ | i could not apply the changes with the network connections manager | 02:31 |
| _spacer_ | hi again.. | 02:31 |
| Cheri703 | hey | 02:32 |
| Cheri703 | let me check something | 02:32 |
| _spacer_ | my acount typ is admin | 02:32 |
| _spacer_ | sure | 02:32 |
| Cheri703 | ok, if you go to this link I'm going to give you, and go to the "initial setup" part, which tells you where to find the "interfaces" file, and open that, then hop down to the "writing new schemes" for the static ip part: http://shallowsky.com/linux/networkSchemes.html | 02:36 |
| Cheri703 | you don't need to do schemes, just use that to help set up the info | 02:36 |
| Cheri703 | that way you can open it with sudo from the terminal | 02:36 |
| Cheri703 | and you *should* be able to make it stick | 02:36 |
| Cheri703 | (not sure this is the "best" way to do it, but should work) | 02:36 |
| Cheri703 | does that make any sense _spacer_? | 02:38 |
| _spacer_ | ok cool, i think it does. lets have a go. | 02:38 |
| Cheri703 | kk | 02:38 |
| _spacer_ | ok so i dont have permission to save the file | 02:44 |
| Cheri703 | first, copy your changes to a new blank file, so you don't have to do it again | 02:47 |
| Cheri703 | then close it | 02:47 |
| Cheri703 | *close the one it won't let you save | 02:47 |
| _spacer_ | ok done | 02:48 |
| Cheri703 | k, open up terminal | 02:49 |
| _spacer_ | done | 02:49 |
| Cheri703 | type sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces | 02:49 |
| Cheri703 | that *should* open up the file with root privileges | 02:50 |
| Cheri703 | then put your changes in and try to save it | 02:50 |
| * Cheri703 has fingers crossed | 02:50 | |
| _spacer_ | saved | 02:50 |
| _spacer_ | yup | 02:50 |
| Cheri703 | woo! | 02:51 |
| Cheri703 | awesome | 02:51 |
| Cheri703 | not sure why it wouldn't let you earlier, but...whatever, now reboot and check settings | 02:51 |
| Cheri703 | (so it can reset itself) | 02:51 |
| _spacer_ | rebooting now | 02:52 |
| _spacer_ | cool thanks | 02:52 |
| _spacer_ | i suppose the same should appl for the next edits? | 02:52 |
| Cheri703 | yeah, probably | 02:52 |
| Cheri703 | you can set up your different connections with that same file | 02:52 |
| Cheri703 | I believe | 02:52 |
| _spacer_ | the instruct you sent me said to save as interfaces-schemename. this would have created a brand new scheme? | 02:54 |
| Cheri703 | yes I believe so | 02:55 |
| Cheri703 | I didn't do the scheme thing, I just used it to manually edit network setups | 02:55 |
| _spacer_ | yeah makes sense, once this is up and running i cant think of anyreason it would need to change. | 02:57 |
| _spacer_ | ok so im on the network but no internet | 03:00 |
| Cheri703 | you might need to add a dns line | 03:03 |
| Cheri703 | let me see if I can find the right format | 03:03 |
| _spacer_ | in the interfaces file? | 03:04 |
| Cheri703 | try this: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/ubuntu-networking-configuration-using-command-line.html | 03:05 |
| _spacer_ | k | 03:05 |
| _spacer_ | ok dumb question | 03:49 |
| _spacer_ | editing interface file... | 03:50 |
| Cheri703 | k | 03:50 |
| _spacer_ | adress- ip adress of this computer | 03:50 |
| _spacer_ | netmask= netmask | 03:50 |
| _spacer_ | network- router ip | 03:51 |
| _spacer_ | broadcast= calculated | 03:51 |
| _spacer_ | gateway= internet ip | 03:51 |
| _spacer_ | does this make sense? | 03:52 |
| Cheri703 | uhm...hang on a sec | 03:53 |
| Cheri703 | gateway is the same as network for most router setups I *think* | 03:54 |
| _spacer_ | i think you are right | 03:57 |
| _spacer_ | i'm not seeing anything for dns address | 03:58 |
| _spacer_ | o wait there it is... | 03:58 |
| _spacer_ | i think that did it | 04:00 |
| Cheri703 | kk, working? | 04:01 |
| _spacer_ | first part is | 04:01 |
| Cheri703 | k | 04:01 |

| JoeMaverickSett | yax51: right click panel > add to panel > indicator applet, that might help. | 04:37 |
| yax51 | the indicator applet is on and running, but there is no volume control | 04:38 |

| yax51 | cool...how do I install the gnome-media package? | 04:42 |
| JoeMaverickSett | yax51: System > Administration > Synaptics Package Manager | 04:42 |
| JoeMaverickSett | yax51: in the search box type, without quotes, "gnome-media" | 04:44 |
| yax51 | is it the gnome-media-common? | 04:44 |
| JoeMaverickSett | according to mine i've both gnome-media and gnome-media-common, but i suggest you mark gnome-media. | 04:45 |
| JoeMaverickSett | as according to the post, it should be gnome-media. | 04:45 |
| yax51 | or the lidgnome-media0? | 04:45 |
| yax51 | libgnome-media0? | 04:45 |
| JoeMaverickSett | yax51: i suggest you try gnome-media first. :) | 04:47 |
| yax51 | nevermind I found it... | 04:47 |
| yax51 | ok, got them re-installed...going to reboot and see if that works! | 04:47 |
| yax51 | thanks!! | 04:47 |
| yax51 | hmm still no volume control.... | 04:52 |

| Drecondius | how do i copy a file to a protected area | 08:56 |
| bioterror | with: sudo | 08:56 |

| bioterror | sudo mv D | 08:57 |
| bioterror | sudo mv ~/Download/blaablaa.bin /lib/firmware/RTL8192SU/ | 08:57 |
| bioterror | mv = move | 08:57 |
| Drecondius | that clarified it | 08:58 |
| Drecondius | thank you | 08:58 |
| bioterror | remember to use tab key to complete ;) | 08:58 |
| Drecondius | im thinking windoze and copy | 08:58 |
| bioterror | you dont have to write all files exactly, you can complete words with tabkey | 08:58 |
| bioterror | the one above caps lock | 08:58 |
| bioterror | makes working in terminal alot easier | 08:59 |

| JeffJassky | Hey, guys. Brand new to Ubuntu this morning (and linux) and I've been tasked with setting up a web server with apache, php, mysql, email, ftp, etc.. Could anyone point me in the direction I might need to go? Any tutorials on using apt-get, dealing with repositories, etc? Thanks, everyone :) | 14:42 |
| AndrewMC | JeffJassky: you may want to try #ubuntu-server | 14:46 |
| zeroseven0183 | JeffJassky: Since you're new to Ubuntu, we suggest you start by reading the Ubuntu Manual http://ubuntu-manual.org/ | 14:50 |
| zeroseven0183 | You can download it from the link. It's free | 14:50 |
| johnny77 | is there a big difference between Xubuntu and Ubuntu? They look similar when compared with Kubuntu. | 14:51 |
| zeroseven0183 | Yes, johnny77. Although Ubuntu and Xubuntu looks almost the same but they're different. | 14:51 |
| zeroseven0183 | Ubuntu uses the Gnome desktop environment while [X]ubuntu uses Xfce. | 14:52 |
| zeroseven0183 | Xfce, as many know, is a lightweight DE. | 14:54 |
| JeffJassky | zeroseven0183: Thanks. I actually spent about an hour browsing through that yesterday. | 14:54 |
| zeroseven0183 | JeffJassky: Well, that's good. | 14:54 |
| johnny77 | zeroseven0183: I understand that they use different DE, but in practical use, which would be better to install. | 14:56 |
| zeroseven0183 | Still depends on your needs | 14:57 |
| zeroseven0183 | I use Gnome a lot. For me, it's the easiest to use. | 14:57 |
| zeroseven0183 | But you can use both, one at a time of course | 14:58 |
| johnny77 | zeroseven0183: I actually have all three installed. New to the Ubuntu family; only installed a dual boot a couple of weeks ago. Trying to pick which I like the best. | 14:59 |
| bioterror | ha,xubuntu is not that lightweight if we throww lubuntu into this match | 15:00 |
| zeroseven0183 | bioterror: Right. I'm also testing Lubuntu :-) | 15:00 |
| bioterror | good ;) | 15:00 |
| johnny77 | zeroseven0183: what makes Xfce and gnome different? Should I choose Xfce because I'm on a netbook? KDE seems to need to much resources. | 15:01 |
| zeroseven0183 | johnny77: So I think you're doing great. | 15:01 |
| bioterror | hope we get this official family status | 15:01 |
| zeroseven0183 | Hmmm.. If you use netbook, have you tried Ubuntu Unity? | 15:01 |
| bioterror | if youre going to surf, read emails and irc with yout notebook, i sugggest lubuntu | 15:02 |
| zeroseven0183 | bioterror: praying for Lubuntu | 15:02 |
| bioterror | it can really compete with xubuntu | 15:02 |
| zeroseven0183 | johnny77: See (and download) it here http://www.ubuntu.com/netbook | 15:02 |
| zeroseven0183 | bioterror: Actually, I prefer Lubuntu over Xubuntu. | 15:03 |
| zeroseven0183 | bioterror: But ever since, I'm an avid fan of Gnome | 15:03 |
| johnny77 | zeroseven0183: I hate unity. I originally installed Ubuntu Netbook 10.04. | 15:03 |
| zeroseven0183 | Hmmm I see. | 15:04 |
| johnny77 | Should I install Lubuntu to give it a fair shake? As lightweight as it is, will it still give me the options the others do. | 15:04 |
| zeroseven0183 | johnyy77: Sure why not | 15:05 |
| zeroseven0183 | johnny77: Sure | 15:05 |
| bioterror | be careful with lubuntu, it can be love on a first sight ;) | 15:06 |
| zeroseven0183 | johnny77: Let me do the honor to give you the link before bioterror does | 15:08 |
| zeroseven0183 | it's here http://people.ubuntu.com/~gilir/lubuntu-10.10.iso | 15:08 |

| johnny77 | I installed Ubuntu 10.04 UNR on my netbook. Since then I've upgraded to 10.10 and installed K, L, and X variants. Now my menu is all jacked up. Does anyone know how to edit the menu in Lubuntu? | 17:23 |
| IdleOne | !puregnome | 17:30 |
| ubot2 | If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureGnome | 17:30 |
| IdleOne | johnny77: see above | 17:30 |
| IdleOne | hmm wait | 17:30 |
| IdleOne | that won't help | 17:30 |
| IdleOne | UNR has a different set of packages | 17:31 |
| Aitrus41 | Decided to triple boot my netbook. Installed XP, then Windows 7, then Ubuntu. Can boot into W7 and Ubuntu 10 but XP is not showing in the boot menu. How would I fix this? XP is listed by fdisk as /dev/sda1, W7 is sda2 and Ubuntu is /sda3 | 17:31 |
| johnny77 | IdleOne: I'm not saying I want to remove the other DEs. My applications menu is all messed up and I want to clean it up, but the alacarte menu editor does not work in Lubuntu. Is there a way to edit the menu. | 17:32 |
| IdleOne | johnny77: I don't know how to edit the menu in Lubuntu but you can try asking in #lubuntu | 17:33 |
| johnny77 | IdleOne: thanks. | 17:33 |

| shahan | looking for something light software for spreadsheet like MS Excell. Open Office is so resource consuming... | 19:03 |
| pedro3005 | shahan, there was one | 19:04 |
| pedro3005 | I forgot the name | 19:04 |
| shahan | I have chosen Abiword instead of Open Office writer, now looking for alternative for Spreadsheet | 19:04 |
| pedro3005 | gnumeric I think | 19:04 |
| shahan | pedro3005, hmm... let me install it from software center and test | 19:05 |
| shahan | any software for Presentation? | 19:05 |
| aveilleux | shahan: pedro3005 is right, it's gnumeric. Gnumeric is pretty powerful. | 19:05 |
| shahan | aveilleux, hmm | 19:06 |
| aveilleux | shahan: For presentation there's really no other viable option | 19:06 |
| aveilleux | shahan: The only one I can think of it barely complete and text doesn't render properly (Can't remember the name) | 19:06 |
| aveilleux | shahan: You may want to look into the K Office Suite. | 19:06 |
| shahan | aveilleux, that means its KDE? | 19:07 |
| aveilleux | shahan: It uses the Qt libraries, which KDE is built on. It runs fine under GNOME though. | 19:07 |
| pedro3005 | aveilleux, well, it's really not lightweight | 19:08 |
| aveilleux | pedro3005: at least it's not Java-based | 19:08 |
| pedro3005 | true | 19:09 |
| * aveilleux pictures Java like a lumbering Gelatinous Cube with a movement speed penalty, while C and Python are nimble rouges with +3 Boots of Elvish Swiftness | 19:09 | |
| aveilleux | And Qt is somewhere in the middle | 19:10 |
| aveilleux | A Human Druid probably | 19:10 |
| pedro3005 | python? fast? | 19:10 |
| pedro3005 | does not compute | 19:10 |
| pedro3005 | I love python but I must admit | 19:10 |
| pedro3005 | slowwwwww | 19:10 |
| aveilleux | I've always seen Python apps run pretty quickly. | 19:11 |
| aveilleux | Could be the algorithms, though. | 19:11 |
| pedro3005 | well because usually they're small | 19:11 |
| pedro3005 | not very fair to compare some 200-line python script to a full office suite like openoffice | 19:11 |
| aveilleux | I use Faces | 19:13 |
| aveilleux | It's written in Python, and pretty quick | 19:13 |

| ehcah | Hello. Is there a method like under MS WinX that from run: //driveshare-name/user I can connect from ubuntu? | 20:43 |
| ehcah | I currently have an unRaid server setup. I can open the IP address, but that brings up only the server shares. I need to upload and remove some config files. | 20:43 |
| ehcah | I normally telnet to the IP of the box to make modifications. | 20:43 |
| karthick87 | what about samba server..? | 20:44 |
| ehcah | Not sure? | 20:45 |
| ehcah | I used to make the changes from Windows 7 using the //share name | 20:45 |
| ehcah | karthick87: All of the Samba clients I can find want to either mount, or browse shares on my laptop. I am trying to get to a box on my LAN. | 21:02 |
| bioterror | I'm not really following | 21:04 |
| ehcah | bioterror: me? | 21:04 |
| bioterror | yes | 21:05 |
| bioterror | hi phillw | 21:06 |
| ehcah | I have an unRaid NAS box on my network. I need to modify some of its config files. I can access its shares easy enough, but can only access the server via telnet. | 21:06 |
| ehcah | I need to copy and paste several files back on forth on the OS, which isn't shared. | 21:06 |
| bioterror | is there a special share folder | 21:06 |
| bioterror | like windows has admin$ and c$ | 21:06 |
| ehcah | should be the root, something like //ehcah-NAS/ | 21:07 |
| ehcah | I have to stop thinking of shares in windows terms, don't I. | 21:07 |
| bioterror | well | 21:07 |
| bioterror | it doesnt matter | 21:07 |
| bioterror | you can say in terminal "smbtree" ;) | 21:08 |
| bioterror | if it's a public, you should see it | 21:09 |
| ehcah | My file DHCP... Server shows up, but not the unRaid box. | 21:09 |
| ehcah | I guess it's not public. | 21:09 |
| bioterror | yeah | 21:10 |
| bioterror | open your filemanager, press ctrl+l and type smb://ip.address.of.teh_nas/ | 21:10 |
| ehcah | I can open the file manager and do that, I have it bookmarked in fact. All I get are my created shares. | 21:11 |
| karthick87 | what is dig command..? | 21:14 |
| bioterror | dig is same as nslookup | 21:14 |
| johnny77 | can I install the KDE desktop environment without installing Kubuntu? | 21:15 |
| bioterror | ofcourse | 21:15 |
| karthick87 | i dont know even nslookup command,pls explain me | 21:15 |
| bioterror | http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/dig/ | 21:16 |
| johnny77 | bioterror: was that of course for me? | 21:17 |
| bioterror | for karthick87 | 21:17 |
| karthick87 | how to view hardware information via terminal..? | 21:38 |
