[00:01] sogepp, hint: you can debug shell scripts with 'bash -v' [00:01] hi, does anybody know how to install an averatec touch screen on 10 [00:01] .10 [00:01] (if you want to find the root cause of the problem) [00:06] i got this message [00:06] W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://repos.zend.com server/non-free Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/repos.zend.com_zend-server_deb_dists_server_non-free_binary-i386_Packages) [00:07] how to fix it ?? [00:07] sogepp, comment out the duplicate [00:08] sogepp, it's just a warning though. [00:09] errors are prefixed with E: [00:09] i see [00:10] sources are kept in /etc/apt/sources.list, or in any file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d [00:10] can be edited with a text editor (using root privileges) [00:11] or via software sources app [00:13] done [00:39] so quiet [00:39] ...too quiet. [00:40] WHAT WAS THAT [00:40] oops [00:40] yeall [00:41] let's talkin' [00:41] guys [00:42] hi [00:42] hi [00:43] hi. [00:43] hi.. [00:46] hi [00:47] Is this the right place for people that have absolutely no idea what they're doing? [00:47] Thanks, bubbaloo [00:47] stephen__, yes [00:47] hi too [00:47] ha ha [00:48] stephen__, no problem lots of veyr knowledgeable people on here at times [00:48] very [00:48] guys, have u tried another distro [00:48] So, after just switching from Windows, I had a terribly difficult time even getting into irc. [00:48] so .. what do you want to do ? [00:48] sogepp, name one I haven't [00:49] Well, I got everything set up, and I was wondering how to install .jar files. [00:49] you don't, you just run them [00:49] minecraft? [00:49] :D [00:49] Actually, yeah. [00:49] stephen__, jar is java compiled, and need java runtime envronment [00:49] wohoho, nice bubbaloo [00:49] !jre [00:49] To install a Java runtime on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java. For the Sun Java products and browser plugin, search for the sun-java6- packages in the !partner repository on Lucid (which must be enabled), or !multiverse repository on older releases. [00:50] so, wich is lighter, opensuse or ubuntu, [00:50] sogepp, just a friendly little fun. ;) [00:50] Alright, you're talking repositories, and exclamation points, and that's past me. [00:51] hehehe [00:51] sogepp, I ran opensuse I think not sure about the difference do you have low ram or cpu [00:51] the repositories are where all of the applications and updates are held, right? [00:51] yes [00:51] stephen__, ok, so you need a step by step then [00:51] stephen__: open up the synaptic package manager in system -> administration -> synaptic package manager [00:52] search sun-java6, and then install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin [00:52] not exactly, it just my notebook seems getting hot too much when i use ubuntu, [00:52] gstarx90, I was thinking ubuntu software center [00:52] Alright. [00:52] It's open [00:52] sogepp, I just did a Vbox of archbang it is very light and really arch for dummies, I felt right at home. [00:52] i use toshiba l510 with core2duo , 2gb ram, and intel gma 4500 graphics card [00:53] stephen__, Applications -> Ubuntu Software Center , open it and type java [00:53] alright, in the quick search, search sun-java6 [00:53] sogepp, archbang has alive cd [00:53] install java6 runtime? [00:53] bubbaloo, is it possible to compile a proper driver for intell graphics card?? [00:53] install, sun-java6-bin sun-java6-bin and sun-java6-plugin [00:54] my first entry says : OpenJDK Java 6 Runtime [00:54] sogepp, I suspect that there are drivers availble from a ppa like xswat but doing it by compiling I just don't know. My cards work out of the box [00:54] any jre will do most of the time [00:54] that's why said said synaptic UndiFineD ;) [00:55] anyway, check it, press install or apply and it gets installed [00:56] Alright, I'm a quarter the way there. Do you know the best place to go to teach the basic commands? [00:56] stephen__: sudo apt-get install to install a package [00:56] Whenever I ask my friend about how to do anything, he's always telling me "-sudo" and such in terminal, and I'm at a complete loss. I tried looking different things up, and they're all just confusing as mess. [00:56] stephen__, we have a mentor programme where people willing can teach you almost anything [00:57] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam [00:57] stephen__: well sudo is an elevation of privileges to do something [00:58] gotcha [00:58] E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) [00:58] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? [00:58] stephen__: you need to close synaptic [00:58] And then the java file stopped installing. [00:58] wat? [00:59] no [00:59] I was installing it in the Ubuntu Software Center, and then I tried running the terminal with the "sudo" commands. [00:59] It ended the ubuntu software center. I re-opened it, and now it's done installing. [01:00] alright, try running minecraft now, you might need to set it as executable, right click the file, properties [01:00] permissions, click set program as executable [01:00] and then close that and then right click it again, click open with java [01:00] Bahaha. You guys are awesome. [01:01] Alright [01:01] I'll check out the beginner's team [01:01] stephen__: install graphics card drivers and disable compiz for better speeds [01:02] gstarx90, stephen__: Minecraft's executable is a Java program, but it's not run as an executable. It doesn't need execute permissions to run, since you're actually opening the file in the Java interpreter (which is an exectuable). [01:02] I'm running a laptop with an integrated graphics card, idk if that makes any difference. [01:03] hardly stephen__ [01:03] most graphics cards can do stuff for compiz today [01:04] So I still need to install the integrated card's drivers? [01:04] And you want me to end the compiz process? [01:04] gstarx90, stephen__: From a command line, you'd want to put the -jar flag (ie. java -jar minecraft.jar), since Java doesn't automagically detect whether or not it's a jar [01:05] gstarx90, I doubt if disabling compiz is what every user wants [01:05] that's what i just did [01:05] it improves some speeds in my experience [01:05] gstarx90, natty, our next release depends on it [01:06] UndiFineD: Much to my chagrin [01:06] aveilleux, I can imagine that [01:06] how do i start up compiz again? [01:06] odear, so if it's disabled.... [01:06] It's not disabled, I just ended the process. [01:07] stephen__: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects [01:07] stephen__: In command line, you can run compiz --replace & #YOU MUST INCLUDE THE AMPERSAND [01:07] stephen__, system -> preferences -> appearance [01:07] stephen__: Otherwise, what the others have said [01:07] thecapsaresrsbro [01:07] :) aveilleux [01:08] I can't get to visual effects, after I ended compiz, it just threw everything off on my computer.. [01:08] I think I'm going to restart. [01:08] no need [01:08] wat [01:08] not bubbalooo too [01:08] ;-; [01:09] nit-wit, [01:10] UndiFineD, yes [01:10] can i pm ? [01:10] yes [01:11] hi stephen, welcome back [01:11] Thanks! I guess that was a lesson well learned. ;) [01:11] do I do something to accept or access this a bit IRC, not so savvy [01:11] Guest53741, is stephen ? [01:11] If you don't know what it is, don't end it. ? [01:12] stephen__: System -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Visual Effects [01:12] stephen__: In command line, you can run compiz --replace & #YOU MUST INCLUDE THE AMPERSAND [01:12] anyone know channel for puppy linux ??? [01:12] Okay, cool. And, yeah, Stephen__ [01:14] Aw, dang. I didn't save my minecraft levels. xP [01:15] minecraft saves are stored inside your computer [01:15] that is what i don't like about the game :[ [01:16] Thanks a ton, you guys. You made sense of non-sense. [01:19] I'll probably be back eventually. ;) === PabloRubianes_ is now known as PabloRubianes [01:50] i need help with making my new ubuntu machine visible on my windows lan [01:50] hmm [01:50] FredFlinstone: define 'visible' [01:50] and 'windows LAN' [01:50] and we'll go from there [01:50] you want to share files? [01:51] FredFlinstone, you need samba for that [01:51] !samba [01:51] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [01:56] nit-wit, is your irc working correctly now ? [01:57] I'm recoginzied but locked out of the ##windows I need to login [01:57] might have been banned who knows lol [01:59] nit-wit, no you have not been banned [02:02] yeah i want to have my windows boxes shares mounted in ubuntu, and vice versa [02:02] just installed samba http://www.prash-babu.com/2008/05/how-to-setup-samba-in-linux.html [02:02] or i am trying [02:03] up to here i was ok, this failed = Step 8: Now type sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart to restart samba [02:04] how do i restart samba? [02:04] you can always logout and back in [02:04] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=648661 [02:05] thAt will kill everything tho right? [02:05] the logout? [02:05] it will log you out [02:06] but that link has sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [02:06] in it [02:06] Try System->Administration->Services ? i don't have that [02:07] right [02:07] that would be for an older verion of ubuntu [02:07] BUT sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart [02:07] should work [02:07] sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found [02:08] rebooting , brb [02:08] FredFlinstone: try googling the exact ubuntu verion you have [02:08] and restart samba [02:08] i havent used samba in a few verions [02:09] hey [02:09] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/samba-fileserver.html#samba-fileserver-installation [02:09] sudo restart smbd [02:09] from [02:09] !samba [02:10] Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [02:10] ^^ that would be for 10.04 [02:10] i bet it works in 10.10 though [02:10] rebooting , brb [02:17] ok i can see the machine from an xp, but i don't see any shares i did auto config in ntfs config for the 4 partitions across 3 drives, first frive has two shares [02:17] what is autoconfig? [02:17] did i screw up? [02:19] FredFlinstone: congrats :) [02:19] you got a good start on it [02:19] :) [02:19] SO, you can see the share you made in ubuntu on XP? [02:19] OH [02:19] you can see the box in general showing up [02:20] no, i can see the ubuntu machine with only one thing in the list, printers and faxes [02:20] let me look around [02:20] there was a package i used [02:20] a GUI [02:20] might be gone now [02:20] this was 9.04 i think... [02:20] terminal is ok, long as i know what to do :) [02:20] yeah, i wont remember any of that though [02:21] i have set up my credentials file and user and enabled it and that from that webpage [02:22] i remember working on permissions for a while [02:23] let my look at gadmin-samba [02:23] the package i used is not there anymore [02:24] i remember having decent luck with pyneighborhood [02:24] but that was going the other way [02:25] path = /media/drive public = yes writable = yes create mask = 0777 directory mask = 0777 force user = nobody force group = nogroup [02:25] this is my next thing and looks wrong' [02:26] gadmin-samba is looking a lot like the tool i used [02:26] BUT i had a book at the time [02:26] i think public = no and user = myonlyuser ? [02:26] that i loaned out [02:26] the book helped me [02:26] and i wish i could recall :/ [02:26] FredFlinstone: make a little noise though, im sure some samba guru will be along :) [02:27] i can try the samba channel [02:29] well maybe someone will come around in one of the channels [02:30] #samba seems dead [02:30] FredFlinstone: you got a loco channel? [02:30] a local ubuntu team channel.. [02:30] i doubt it [02:30] http://loco.ubuntu.com/ [02:34] path = /media/drive [02:34] it wants ? sda or something? [02:34] how do i determine this? [02:35] the drive is called backups to the windows part of things [02:35] path = /media/backups ? [02:35] thAT cant be right [02:35] path should do it [02:35] sudo fdisk -l [02:35] path = /media/ ... [02:36] ok [02:36] FredFlinstone: OH [02:36] you want to share a whole drive? [02:36] you might have to mount it to a directory [02:36] and share that path via samba [02:36] i want to mount all three drives [02:37] not sure, i didnt try that [02:37] share [02:37] i did a printer [02:37] and a couple folers [02:37] folders* [02:37] no reason why you can mount them /where/ever [02:37] and share /where/ever [02:39] hajour, thaks for your help [02:39] thanks [02:39] holstein, I lost the open source music channel [02:39] OH [02:40] nit-wit: #opensourcemusicians :) [02:40] your welcome nitwit [02:42] hajour, I'm going to sihn off but i will be back I sure [02:42] sign [02:42] ok nit-wit :) [02:42] sleep wel nit-wit [02:43] hajour, :) [02:50] sorry holstein i had to answer the door [02:51] i'll check that music channel out myself, sometime [02:52] FredFlinstone: please do :) [02:53] sdb1 , ntfs, about 1tb is one [02:55] path = /media/sdb1 [02:55] public = yes, i say no? [02:55] depends i guess [02:55] in smb.conf thAT is [02:55] if i just had 2 boxes on the network [02:55] and a firewall [02:55] i only have one username and pass for all machines [02:55] and it was a desktop machine [02:56] i might do public [02:56] FredFlinstone: shoule be fine then with the user/pass scenario [02:56] *in theory [02:56] FredFlinstone: you can always test public [02:56] and go back afterward [02:56] and lock it down [02:56] ok,. also my nvidia settings will not stay even tho i save it [02:57] 1280 goes down to 1024 every boot [02:57] FredFlinstone: on mine [02:57] i made a custom xorg.conf finally [02:57] 10.04 box [02:58] 64bit [02:58] i forget the hardware [02:58] some integrated nvidia GPU [02:58] i cheated ;) [02:58] i booted a knoppix disc [02:58] i have a msi n210 md512h [02:58] and the desktop looked right [02:58] SO i grabbed the xorg.conf from there [02:58] messed with it a bit [02:59] and put it in buntu [02:59] hmm [02:59] and .. [02:59] ** (gksudo:2136): WARNING **: Invalid borders specified for theme pixmap: [02:59] /home/fred/.themes/Cillop-Midnite/gtk-2.0/null.png, [02:59] how to fix that? [02:59] that depends on the gtk theme [03:00] yeah, id probably bail on the theme [03:01] ok, so for the share (which may work now) where are my services? i need to either reboot or restart samba [03:01] sudo: /etc/init.d/samba: command not found [03:01] try sudo restart smbd [03:02] it is true - file is not there [03:03] ok [03:03] worked, i think [03:03] smbd start/running, process 2192 [03:04] NOW can see the share but cannot access, does not give login prompt [03:04] samba needs a windows machine user i think [03:04] hmmm [03:04] i would think you'll get a prompt [03:05] i think you just set up the users and it 'works' [03:05] maybe not.... [03:05] so whatever username is used on windows can be made available on samba [03:06] from a xp user with creds and without , same result [03:06] i tried from one of my boxes, and a friends [03:06] mine should have worked at least? [03:07] gotta be permissions [03:09] starcraftman: ZERGLINGS! [03:20] Someone have a sec to explain what "Connector" means in Sound Preferences under the Input tab. Trying to get my mic to work and there are like 10 connectors and I have no idea which one I need to be using. [03:21] MrAnthrope: internal mic? [03:21] or a mic you plug in? [03:21] a mic you plug in through a 3.5mm jack [03:21] MrAnthrope: where do you see 'connector' ? [03:22] I get some kind of feedback noise on some of them. [03:22] MrAnthrope, Microphone1/line-in [03:22] could be something specific to your hardware [03:22] In the Sound Preferences settings. Input tab. [03:22] input volume. Input level. Connector. [03:22] i have 'internal audio analog stereo' [03:23] hmmm [03:23] analog microphone / input 1 / microphone 1 [03:23] MrAnthrope: is this 10.10 ? [03:23] analog microphone / input 2 / microphone 1 [03:23] 10.04 [03:23] cool [03:23] thats me too [03:23] analog microphone / input 1 / microphone 2 [03:23] analog microphone / input 2 / microphone 2 [03:23] those labels dont have to be correct [03:24] analog line-in / input 1 [03:24] from what i find [03:24] i usually just do a little trial and error [03:24] and see if i can find what i need [03:24] look at [03:24] alsamixer [03:24] some of them back bad noises. But it's not feedback because my mic isn't working. [03:24] in a terminal [03:24] make bad noises* [03:24] Yeah I was looking at that. [03:24] hit F4 [03:24] I don't have a volume bar over my mic in alsamixer. [03:25] That means it's not there, right? [03:25] and you'll see the 'capture devices' [03:25] MrAnthrope: not necessarily [03:25] it could just not have volume control [03:25] all the hardware is so different [03:25] MrAnthrope: this is a desktop? [03:25] yes [03:25] what card? [03:25] onboard. [03:26] lspci [03:26] http://paste.ubuntu.com/ [03:27] http://paste.ubuntu.com/544270/ [03:27] yeah, VIA can be a pain [03:28] oi [03:28] i have one that dies when you open sound preferences ;) [03:28] Yeah! [03:28] i mean, the good news is [03:28] See I thought it was working. [03:28] And then I thought I was crazy. [03:28] if you want to do anything with a mic [03:28] you should get an external interface anyways [03:28] awha? [03:28] that being said, we should be able to sort you out [03:28] do you have a mixer at all? [03:29] For strawberry daquiris. [03:29] hehe [03:29] I'm not sure? [03:29] MrAnthrope: what is your need for a mic? [03:29] podcasting? [03:29] Teamspeak. [03:29] AH [03:29] lest try and use your card then... [03:30] give me [03:30] aplay -l [03:30] I may have a spare audio card around here... [03:30] and [03:30] I have no idea what it is. [03:30] arecord -l [03:30] MrAnthrope: that might be the path of least resistance [03:30] disable the VIA card in the bios [03:30] and use another one [03:30] in bios... hmm... [03:31] and keep checking back every release or so [03:31] the kernel team seems to be on it [03:31] How do I get to my bios in Linux? [03:31] its just the info VIA is sharing [03:31] MrAnthrope: you have to do that when the machine boots up [03:31]
