| shadowchaser | hello all once again I come to the forum for help with unbuntu can any one help? | 00:06 |
|---|---|---|
| reya276 | How can I fix my update manager so that it stops telling me that my repositories are out of sync? | 01:10 |
| maxolasersquad_h | sudo aptitude update ? | 01:30 |
| maxolasersquad_h | reya276: ^^ | 01:31 |
| reya276 | no it keeps failing | 01:31 |
| maxolasersquad_h | If that doesn't do it, post the exact error message. | 01:31 |
| reya276 | let me pastebin the output one sec | 01:31 |
| maxolasersquad_h | k | 01:31 |
| reya276 | http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/550455/ | 01:32 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Try to browse to http://extras.ubuntu.com/ | 01:34 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Also, see if you can get to http://ppa.launchpad.net/ | 01:36 |
| maxolasersquad_h | My guess is that you either have a DNS or routing issue with your ISP. | 01:37 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Could be a firewall or host issue as well. | 01:37 |
| reya276 | I can get to the first URL and the second one too | 01:38 |
| reya276 | they both work from the browser | 01:39 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Can you view http://ppa.launchpad.net/am-monkeyd/nautilus-elementary-ppa/ubuntu/dists/maverick/Release.gpg | 01:39 |
| reya276 | yes | 01:42 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Open up Synaptic and then click on Settings->Preferences. | 01:42 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Make sure, in the Network tab, you have "Direction connection to the internet" clicked. | 01:42 |
| maxolasersquad_h | s/Direction/Direct | 01:43 |
| reya276 | yes that is setup that way | 01:43 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Something weird is happening. Apt is reporting that it cannot resolve ppa.ubuntu.com and cannot resolve extras.ubuntu.com | 01:44 |
| reya276 | right | 01:44 |
| maxolasersquad_h | But Ubuntu can clearly resolve them, as you have demonstrated. | 01:44 |
| reya276 | How about where it says "Reloading outdated package information"? in the general tab. right now is set to Always Ask | 01:45 |
| maxolasersquad_h | That's how mine is set as well. | 01:46 |
| reya276 | see now I got this error | 01:48 |
| reya276 | W: Failed to fetch http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu/dists/maverick/Release.gpg Something wicked happened resolving 'archive.canonical.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) | 01:48 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Are you getting the errors with ppa.ubuntu.com and extras.ubuntu.com this time? | 01:49 |
| reya276 | is like they are different errors, if its not the extras then is the archive | 01:49 |
| reya276 | no this time is the archive.canonical.com | 01:50 |
| maxolasersquad_h | It could just be that those servers are having issues then. | 01:50 |
| maxolasersquad_h | It may not be anything to be concerned about on your end. | 01:50 |
| reya276 | no now I got a different error of a PPA I just added and I know that it is working correctly | 01:51 |
| reya276 | Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu/dists/maverick/Release.gpg Something wicked happened resolving 'ppa.launchpad.net:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) | 01:51 |
| reya276 | is like somehow they change all the time, so something has got to be wrong | 01:52 |
| reya276 | and is not my ISP because I can access all sites everywhere | 01:53 |
| maxolasersquad_h | I believe it is a problem with the servers hosting ppa.ubuntu.com | 01:53 |
| reya276 | let me check my wireless router firewall | 01:53 |
| maxolasersquad_h | They are only responding sporadically to your requests. | 01:54 |
| maxolasersquad_h | I'm not sure how they are setup, but if it's colocationed, the ones you are hitting could be getting taxed right now, and you are only able to get in sporadically. | 01:55 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Try again tomorrow and see if you still have the problem. | 01:59 |
| maxolasersquad_h | You could also try using another DNS provider, such as OpenDNS or Google's DNS. | 02:00 |
| reya276 | how can I get my DSN address | 02:00 |
| reya276 | the one from my ISP? | 02:00 |
| maxolasersquad_h | You are using a router, right? | 02:00 |
| reya276 | yes | 02:01 |
| maxolasersquad_h | You should be able to set your DNS in your router settings. | 02:01 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Google has 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 | 02:01 |
| reya276 | well right now is in dynamic | 02:01 |
| maxolasersquad_h | There should be a way to manually specify your DNS servers. | 02:02 |
| reya276 | there is but I don't know what those are | 02:03 |
| maxolasersquad_h | What is your make/model of your router? | 02:03 |
| reya276 | I let the ISP provide them automatically through my Wireless router | 02:04 |
| reya276 | Belkin N router | 02:04 |
| reya276 | I tried doing ifconfig but got nothing back | 02:04 |
| reya276 | I should be able to get a DNS from an IP address right | 02:05 |
| maxolasersquad_h | In your web browser, go to 192.168.2.1 | 02:05 |
| reya276 | oh I know how to get to the router admin as I'm in there right now | 02:09 |
| reya276 | I got my ip address which is 75.74.67.197 | 02:09 |
| reya276 | but I can't get the DNS for it | 02:10 |
| maxolasersquad_h | There's not place to manually configure your DNS? | 02:11 |
| maxolasersquad_h | On my Zyxel it is in the LAN section. | 02:12 |
| reya276 | yes there is | 02:13 |
| reya276 | but I don't know what the DNS is, I only know what the IP address is | 02:13 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Ok, put them there. | 02:13 |
| maxolasersquad_h | The DNS should be 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 | 02:14 |
| reya276 | but I don't know the DNS | 02:14 |
| maxolasersquad_h | There's usually a place to put a primary and a secondary DNS server. | 02:14 |
| reya276 | I'm trying to figure out what they are from my IP address | 02:14 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Can you post a screenshot of the configuration screen. | 02:14 |
| Chloric | evening guys | 02:21 |
| Chloric | its been like a monath | 02:21 |
| Chloric | hey itnet and roaxsoax | 02:23 |
| reya276 | ah ok I got what you were saying, I used the 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and it works | 02:23 |
| reya276 | so now let me try and update | 02:23 |
| reya276 | yeap no errors at all | 02:24 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Saweet! | 02:24 |
| maxolasersquad_h | ISP DNS FTL! | 02:24 |
| reya276 | cool, thanks | 02:25 |
| reya276 | oh one thing, I was able to add the repository for the krita 2.3 but it says it will install Mysql-server-core-5.1 for a graphics program? | 02:26 |
| reya276 | will this slowdown my PC? | 02:34 |
| reya276 | ok this is weird I install Krita 2.3 but I don't see an entry in the Applications Menu | 02:38 |
| reya276 | hey what do I need to install so that I can get the look of KDE Default theme cause Krita looks horrible | 03:00 |
| reya276 | oh and that DNS fix made my internet access faster wow | 03:00 |
| maxolasersquad_h | reya276: I'm glad to hear that Google's DNS is giving you faster browsing. | 04:05 |
| maxolasersquad_h | ISPs have a pretty strong reputation of providing horrible DNS servers. | 04:05 |
| reya276 | yeap | 04:05 |
| reya276 | hey how can I get the Krita to look the same as in KDE but in Gnome | 04:06 |
| reya276 | Krita looks horrible for some reason | 04:07 |
| reya276 | like I'm missing the QT4 widgets or something | 04:07 |
| maxolasersquad_h | I don't know. | 04:12 |
| reya276 | for some reason it feels like is missing something like the theme looks all weird, maybe I'm missing a pacakge(s) or something | 04:13 |
| maxolasersquad_h | The only KDE app I run is KolourPaint, and it looks fine in Gnome. | 04:13 |
| reya276 | like it does not look like this http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_D1EpnOVJuA8/TJ8sbzChNtI/AAAAAAAADMo/dmJ9bO6q6LE/s1600/krita02.png | 04:14 |
| maxolasersquad_h | KolourPaint is giving me the Gnome decorations. | 04:15 |
| maxolasersquad_h | The minimize/maximize, etc. buttons are on the top-left. Everything else looks like a regular KDE app. | 04:15 |
| reya276 | right at work it looks like that too but not here | 04:17 |
| maxolasersquad_h | gidimanunaki: What does the gidi part mean in your handle? | 04:40 |
| gidimanunaki | Well, the gidim part loosely translates to "ghost" or "spirit". | 04:40 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Gotcha. Cool. | 04:41 |
| gidimanunaki | The rest is easily guessed, but does not translate to "lost native tribe". | 04:41 |
| maxolasersquad_h | I'm familiar with the Anunaki deal. | 04:41 |
| gidimanunaki | Pretty rare. Not many people take an interest in old Sumerian. | 04:42 |
| reya276 | see it looks weird http://img205.imageshack.us/i/ubuntukrita23.png/ | 04:42 |
| maxolasersquad_h | It ties in with a lot of mythology, Judaism, muslim, conspiracy theories, greys, etc. | 04:43 |
| maxolasersquad_h | I find such things fun and interesting, and read up on those subjects from time to time. | 04:48 |
| gidimanunaki | I can out-geek you there. I've been reading up on this for a few days: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knuth_-yllion#Myriad_system | 04:50 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Isn't one of those powers supposed to be a googleplex? | 04:52 |
| gidimanunaki | Eventually. But I was sticking to the -yllions. | 04:53 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Or whatever number Google is named after. | 04:54 |
| gidimanunaki | 10^100. | 04:54 |
| gidimanunaki | Googolplex is 10^(10^100) | 04:54 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Yeah. | 04:55 |
| maxolasersquad_h | My two claims to nerddem is being able to recite pi to 20 decimal places, powers of two up to 2^12 off memory. | 04:56 |
| gidimanunaki | Just 2^12? | 04:57 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Though, being able to count by powers of two has actual practical application. | 04:57 |
| gidimanunaki | I only ever memorized Pi to 10 places. | 04:57 |
| gidimanunaki | I used to count by powers of 2 or 10 or random others when I was a kid. It was my form of fun. | 04:57 |
| maxolasersquad_h | After 4096 I have to start actually calculating the numbers. 2^12 will get you where you need to 95% of the time. | 04:58 |
| gidimanunaki | 8192, 16384,32768,65536,131072,262144,524288,1048576,2097152... I forget. I used to know further much faster. | 04:59 |
| maxolasersquad_h | I'm always surprised at how few programmers immediately know the significance of 32767. | 05:00 |
| gidimanunaki | 4194304,8388608,16777216,33554432... okay, that's it. | 05:00 |
| gidimanunaki | lol | 05:00 |
| gidimanunaki | It's the end of 32-bit? | 05:00 |
| maxolasersquad_h | It is hex FF in decimal | 05:03 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Er, FFFF | 05:03 |
| gidimanunaki | Yep. | 05:03 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Which is why, in so many languages, it is the limit of what a variable can hold. | 05:04 |
| gidimanunaki | It's hard to reconcile binary with a myriad system though. | 05:10 |
| maxolasersquad_h | I once read a book, like fifteen or more years ago (I'm 30) on how computers do complex math in binary. It was pretty interesting, but way beyond anything I cared to commit to memory. | 05:12 |
| maxolasersquad_h | It was pretty interesting though. Doing powers and stuff is pretty easy if you know the tricks. | 05:12 |
| gidimanunaki | Yeah, I've done math in binary. | 05:12 |
| gidimanunaki | But that myriad system, what struck me as fascinating, was that each order of magnitude up is the square of the one below it. | 05:13 |
| maxolasersquad_h | What is the pattern? I see that there are powers of 1-8, then after that there is pattern, but I cannot nail down exactly what it is. | 05:15 |
| gidimanunaki | I spend the last few days doing the powers, from 10^1 to 10^256. | 05:16 |
| gidimanunaki | The pattern gets easier as you practice. | 05:16 |
| gidimanunaki | http://westwood.fortunecity.com/hermes/490/yllion.txt | 05:17 |
| gidimanunaki | Make that 10^512. | 05:17 |
| gidimanunaki | You just follow the pattern up. Myllion, ten myllion, hundred myllion, ten hundred myllion, myriad myllion... etc. | 05:19 |
| gidimanunaki | Then a myllion myllion is a byllion. | 05:19 |
| maxolasersquad_h | So it's a naming convention for counting really large numbers? | 05:21 |
| gidimanunaki | Yep. The best part being that each next one up is the square of the previous. So you can logically count much higher numbers with less words. | 05:21 |
| gidimanunaki | Well. Less new words. | 05:21 |
| maxolasersquad_h | I see | 05:22 |
| gidimanunaki | Since a standard Billion is 10^9, but that Byllion is 10^16. | 05:22 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Well, here's my latest obsession: http://www.openstreetmap.org/ | 05:23 |
| maxolasersquad_h | http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=30.405862&lon=-84.219353&zoom=19 | 05:24 |
| gidimanunaki | Interesting. | 05:24 |
| maxolasersquad_h | I've been working on http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=30.39777&lon=-84.2194&zoom=15&layers=M for a few months now. | 05:25 |
| gidimanunaki | Wow. That's nice. | 05:26 |
| maxolasersquad_h | Thanks | 05:28 |

| reya276 | Morning Everyone | 14:21 |
| reya276 | ok guys who wants to take on a Hard Drive issue this Morning? | 14:33 |
| reya276 | KDE 4.5.1 is Amazing, true beauty on a screen | 14:34 |
| reya276 | I installed that bad boy last night at home along with Krita and is short of just awesome | 14:35 |
| reya276 | so no one wants to take on the challenge of getting this external HD working with Ubuntu | 15:04 |
| reya276 | booh hoooh | 15:16 |
| maxolasersquad | reya276: I'll take on the HD if you will take on the invoice validation I'm working on. ;) | 15:19 |
| reya276 | LOL | 15:19 |
| reya276 | sounds like fun, what language are you using to build it | 15:19 |
| maxolasersquad | PL/SQL | 15:41 |
| maxolasersquad | We've been rewriting our inventory, invoicing, and billing system for about a year now. It has to be ready by the end of February. | 15:42 |
| reya276 | so you guys are using Oracle? | 15:46 |
| reya276 | or Perl + SQL | 15:46 |
| maxolasersquad | Oracle and PHP | 15:47 |
| reya276 | good combination | 16:01 |
| reya276 | how is the DB performance? | 16:01 |
| maxolasersquad | Very good. | 16:14 |
| maxolasersquad | Performance-wise, I'm very happy with Oracle's database. | 16:15 |
| RoAkSoAx | win 4 | 16:17 |
| zoopster | mhall119: you around? | 16:46 |

| dorgan | yeah mine were relaxed as well...I dont have any family down here....they all live in NY...and my wife just has her parents | 20:07 |
| dorgan | i did have a google cr48 show up on my doorstep the day before christmas eve...so that was an early present | 20:07 |
| dantalizing | nice | 20:08 |
| dantalizing | its too late to request one of those, right? | 20:08 |
| dorgan | i dont think so | 20:09 |
| dorgan | i dont think they've sent our 60,000 yet | 20:09 |
| maxolasersquad | I thought 12-21-2010 was the last day to request one. | 20:15 |
| dantalizing | i thought so too maxolasersquad | 20:22 |
| itnet7 | I haven't received one yet :-( | 20:23 |
| itnet7 | I think the deadline to request is passed, but I have the link, let me see if it redirects you | 20:23 |
| ShawnR | DammitJim: i have the jawbone icon, it is the third jawbone i've had (i drive around town all day and use them EVERY DAY for work, all day long) | 20:27 |
| DammitJim | I'm sorry... I meant headphones? | 20:28 |
| DammitJim | is that 2 of them for stereo? | 20:28 |

| ShawnR | i have the older red ones, the newer ones boast "surround sound" virtualization stuffs (and are gray/black) | 20:32 |
| DammitJim | ShawnR, I have those S9 but I only use them for running | 20:33 |
| DammitJim | my ear openings are rather small and they hurt after using them longer than an hour | 20:33 |
| DammitJim | I've tried the different adapters that they come with | 20:33 |
| DammitJim | have you heard anything about the S305s? | 20:34 |
| ShawnR | I use them for running, too | 20:36 |
| ShawnR | oh... | 20:36 |
| ShawnR | i have some like that (prior to S9s) | 20:36 |
| ShawnR | those aren't so comfy either | 20:36 |
| ShawnR | are you looking for sit down listening? | 20:36 |
| ShawnR | not cheap, but sound great! http://www.sonystyle.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10151&catalogId=10551&langId=-1&productId=8198552921665095015 i use these for non-running (or non-lawn mowing) | 20:37 |
