[16:31] hey i need some helo with the terminal when i type any command and it ask for my password y type it and then it says command not found and dosnt ask for my password again when i type the comand again just command not found [16:34] joe_happy: what command? Any command? [16:34] nope this one [16:34] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alecive/antigone && sudo apt-get update [16:34] and it also has happened to my with other commands [16:36] joe_happy: sudo has a timeout period. It won't ask for your password if you've used sudo within the past few minutes. [16:36] joe_happy: Also, run: sudo apt-get install python-software-properties [16:36] this happened to me before so i used sudo su - to install directly from root [16:36] ohh i didnt know that [16:37] joe_happy: Don't log into root if you don't need to [16:37] and well afther that it told me to instal the aptitude package [16:37] joe_happy: What did? [16:38] ok so how do i log out of root?

It tells me that there are updates, but does nothing when I click install. [17:33] johnny77: try restarting the manager [17:33] and make sure you get your pass right [17:33] that would be my first guess [17:34] holstein: update manager is supposed to ask for a password? well it's not. I bet that is the problem. How do I get it to ask? [17:35] johnny77: you can always logout [17:35] and back in [17:36] if that is easiest [17:36] personnally [17:36] i just wouldnt worry about the updates right now [17:36] OR [17:36] i would close it [17:36] and run sudo apt-get update [17:36] then sudo apt-get upgrade [17:38] holstein: This has been happening for a while... I have been using update/upgrade, but it would be nice if I could get update-manager to do it. [17:38] eh [17:38] i turn it off [17:38] i think its nice not to be hassled by it [17:38] holstein: is there a downside at all to using the update manager [17:38] and choose when i want it to run [17:38] Dangr_: in theory, no [17:39] unless an update breaks something [17:39] OR if the update manager is working in the background, and you dont want it to be [17:40] johnny77: you can try running update-manager from the terminal [17:40] see you you get helpful error output there [17:48] it looks like for some reason update-manager is not automatically asking for the password. If I typed in gksu update-manager it forced it to ask for a password. Is there a file somewhere that specifies which programs need to be run as a super user? [17:50] I have an update manager question too... [17:50] mine is saying "to install all updates, do a partial upgrade" [18:36] what does GTK+ X mean? [18:37] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK%2B [18:39] I'm getting a "gave up waiting for root device" error while booting, it only happens when I have the USB digital TV receiver plugged in.

[19:23] yeah sry i need help [19:23] i have a broken hand so it took me forevr to type [19:24] sssssssss: easiest way is to get internet to the machine wired [19:24] i would try restarting the machine [19:24] i know but my router is so far away [19:24] ok [19:24] im not sure how that gets set up in OSX [19:24] what the network [19:24] SO, we dont know if its the wired card in buntu [19:24] OR the config in OSX [19:25] you can DL what you need on the macbook [19:25] and transfer them to the buntu machine with a USB stick or whatever [19:25] yeah i guess [19:26] i think its the config in ubuntu [19:26] cause it says its not configured [19:26] sssssssss: you just plugged it in [19:26] but im n ot sure y [19:26] so there is no config in buntu yet [19:27] if the macbook is sending it, the buntu box *should* be seeing and using it [19:27] sssssssss: Is your Mac configured to have Internet sharing? [19:27] idk [19:27] how would i check [19:27] sssssssss: System Preferences > Sharing [19:27] It should be listed in the left column [19:28] sssssssss: hopefully that will fix it [19:28] sssssssss: I haven't tried it before this way but who knows - hopefully that is all there is to it [19:30] i did turn on sharing and i did also set up the network settings in ubuntu my macbook says its connected [19:30] but it still doesnt work [19:31] Hmm [19:31] im [19:31] [19:31] sssssssss: do you have any other wired internet device? [19:31] to plug into the macbook [19:31] so you know that it is doing the job [19:31] i dont know how to seup netwroks i just googled how to set up a quick one [19:32] right [19:32] one sec [19:32] that would be my first point of trouble-shooting [19:32] sssssssss: http://superuser.com/questions/141407/share-internet-via-ethernet-from-mac-osx-to-ubuntu-10-04 [19:32] Seems like they are looking for something similar [19:32] * bioterror notices that his beachball senses are tingling ;) [19:32] you have an unknown box on an unknown network [19:33] bioterror: hehe, beach-ball ;) [19:33] sssssssss: unless the router is up on the roof [19:33] sssssssss, first of all: edit your /etc/samba/smb.conf [19:33] i think the easiest way it to plug right into the router [19:33] put correct workgroup and so on [19:34] easiest by 90% or so id say [19:34] nope [19:34] I cant remember how os x handled shares [19:34] o yeah [19:34] you had to connect with hostname/ip address [19:35] bioterror: sssssssss is trying to pass the internet through to the buntu machine [19:35] smb://ip-address/share/ [19:35] the buntu box is not ont he network yet [19:35] has no connection [19:35] wait what should i do first [19:35] sssssssss: walk to the router ;) [19:36] read basics of networking [19:36] haha i get it but its a desktop and the routeris upstairs [19:36] ok [19:36] well this is what i did http://www.wikihow.com/Connect-Two-Computers [19:37] haha i guess its probably wroong for what im doing [19:37] http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=mac/10.5/en/8156.html [19:37] sssssssss: you're not connecting 2 computers [19:37] necessarly [19:38] you need the internet to be shared [19:38] what is the difference they both have 2 ip addresses on a network right? i mean idk but it looked good to me [19:38] on the mac [19:38] and i did turn on sharing [19:38] the mac will recieve the internet via wifi [19:38] and act as a router [19:38] sharing the connection with the machine on the wired device [19:39] im not sure what the process is like on OSX [19:39] yes the mac is the router and is using airport and yes sharing for the wired connecting [19:39] right [19:39] not connecting the 2 machines together [19:40] thats not the goal [19:40] file-sharing [19:40] it seems pretty easy i think its something very stupid that i didnt do [19:40] the goal is internet sharing [19:40] 2 totally differnt things [19:40] that can be mutually exculsive [19:40] exclusive* [19:41] you need to reduce the variables [19:41] you need to either confirm that osx is sharing the network and acting as a router [19:41] OR confirm that the buntu box's wired device is working properly [19:41] when i go to networ settings on the ubuntu machine and go to the hosts tab i dont see me macbook though i dont know if it should be there or not [19:41] right now, you cant say which is failing [19:42] sssssssss: you wont [19:42] it'll just see network [19:42] like its a router [19:42] when you have the mac properly sharing its network connection [19:43] you'll just have internet on the buntu box [19:43] IF the wired device is being used properly by buntu [19:43] ok [19:45] if i do what it says on the thing i was reading it said to ping to see it h=the connection it there what should i then be looking for [19:45] * holstein shrugs [19:45] Ummm [19:45] the ip address? [19:45] Well I guess you can ping the computer (mac) [19:45] and see if that comes back [19:46] k [19:46] also if they are connected at all wouldnt i be able to see like a network place on my macbook [19:47] nah [19:47] thats not set up yet [19:47] probably not [19:47] yeah [19:47] and is not the same at all [19:47] you're just trying to get internet [19:48] that can be passed through the mac, or any other device acting as a router [19:48] ok well what i meant was maybe i set it up for the wrong thing [19:48] and not give you access to 'shares' or 'network places' [19:48] Does Ubuntu have a feature like that? Is there a package or system setting for Internet sharing? [19:48] I don't even know, now I'm curious [19:48] Dangr_: yes [19:48] ive used the printer one [19:48] back in 9.10 [19:48] worked nice [19:49] still working nice * [19:49] printer as in sharing printers [19:49] my frind has a bunch of mac windows and linux comps all sharing the same internet through one comp running osx [19:49] sssssssss: thats who i would ask [19:49] yeah hes busy cant talk haha [19:49] your friend would know how to conigure your OSX box to act as a router [19:50] sssssssss: Wirelessly? Because wireless Internet sharing is easy. [19:50] should be easy as http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=mac/10.5/en/8156.html though [19:50] no he has a wired connected between them all [19:50] aveilleux: needs to provide wired to buntu [19:50] in this case [19:50] holstein: I know, I'm saying his friend who uses OSX as a router might just share the connection wirelessly. [19:51] anyway when i ping the me=acbook from the buntu it says set 54 packets and then says 64bytes from the ip address of my macbook the icmp_req=some number ttl=64 and the time === JackyAlcine-AFK is now known as JackyAlcine [19:52] so i think thats means they are connected [19:52] yes [19:52] ping -c 4 google.com [19:52] or whatever [19:53] good luck... naptime...

[20:16] yeah [20:16] Have you tried looking for proprietary drivers [20:16] but how could it not be supported but there are drivers [20:16] well im at a website that is said to have them [20:17] Whats the page you are at [20:18] http://madwifi-project.org/wiki/UserDocs/FirstTimeHowTo it is a how to on the driver haha [20:18] the link was from the ubuntu supported card page [20:19] Looks like it could be useful [20:20] But I'm not sure since I haven't had to do this before, sorry. I bought a card from the supported list so I wouldn't have to go through it :P [20:20] But you did try to see if the card worked at all and it doesnt?
