johnny77does anyone know what this means: ** (pcmanfm:2137): DEBUG: FmJob error: No such file or directory02:01
bioterrorthat there's no such file or directory02:01
johnny77but I only opened pcmanfm in my home directory.... it has to exist.02:02
bioterrorif you see it in pcmanfm, then it should exist02:02
johnny77then why am I getting that error?02:03
johnny77Sometimes, I loose my right-click menu. Could it be saying that pcmanfm can't find the file that holds the menu?02:05
bioterrorI bealive so02:06
johnny77would you have any idea on how to fix? it's quite annoying. Thank you.02:08
bioterrorgood question02:10
bioterroryou can start with duplicating the problem02:12
bioterrorreproduce it02:12
johnny77bioterror: What really confuses me is that it appears to happen randomly.02:12
johnny77I have no idea how to reproduce.02:12
bioterrorthat's the art of fixing problems ;)02:13
Elise001How do I send screenshots to this ubuntu-beginners?02:15

jasonoHello.02:20
bioterrorhaha02:20
bioterrorI fail02:20
JoeMaverickSett:D02:20
jasonoMy XChat isn't working. Can anyone please help me?02:20
JoeMaverickSettjasono: how is it not working? define please.02:20
jasonoIt's not connecting.02:20
bioterrorand it usually says reason02:20
JoeMaverickSettjasono: do you see any errors? and such?02:21
jasonoHold on.....02:21
JoeMaverickSettjust like bioterror said, it leave breadcrumbs.. ;)02:21
jasono* Connecting to chat.freenode.net (.1.1..1...1.1..6.1...1) port 8001...02:22
bioterrorwhy you're not using SSL ports?02:22
jasonoI don't know.02:23
jasonoHow do I do that?02:23
bioterrorjasono, but that's not a reason02:23
bioterrorAll freenode servers listen on ports 6665, 6666, 6667, 7000(SSL Only), 7070 (SSL Only), 8000, 8001 and 8002. Please be aware that the below list is at no time authoritative, and as such our advice is to connect using chat.freenode.net.02:23
jasonobioterror It doesn't connect it doesn't connect, just says connecting.........02:24
bioterroris your dns working okay?02:24
jasonoYes02:24
bioterrorand you've tried reconnecting02:24
jasonoyup02:24
bioterrorto take another server02:24
jasonoI did02:24
bioterrorhard to say why02:25
jasonoIt won't even let me add the ports. JUst takes me back to 800102:26
=== jesus is now known as Guest71551
aveilleuxjasono: Open your server properties (ctrl+s)02:26
jasonoI've done that.02:26
aveilleuxOn FreeNode, hit Efit02:26
JoeMaverickSettjasono: go to network list, edit the server (probably ubuntu server) change the port to 7000 (press enter after that) then check the "Use SSL for all servers"02:26
aveilleuxEdit*02:26
JoeMaverickSettjasono: or if you don't want to use SSL, just change the port to 6667 and press enter.02:27
JoeMaverickSettand don't check the "Use SSl" stuff02:27
aveilleuxjasono: http://i.imgur.com/9srqc.png02:27
jasonoTHis is actually the server irc.freenode.net/800102:27
aveilleuxjasono: This is what my server configuration looks like02:27
aveilleuxjasono: There is no irc.freenode.net02:28
jasonoTHanks02:28
JoeMaverickSettjasono: use other port then.02:28
aveilleuxjasono: Thaw would be why the connection fails02:28
aveilleuxjasono: s/Thaw/That02:28
bioterroraveilleux, Sat04:28  weechat   irc.server.Freenode.addresses = "irc.freenode.net/7070"02:28
bioterror;)02:28
JoeMaverickSett:D02:28
bioterroraveilleux, be my guest: dig irc.freenode.net02:29
aveilleuxbioterror: According to the server list ( http://freenode.net/irc_servers.shtml ), there is no irc.freenode.net02:29
aveilleuxbioterror: Except over Tor02:29
aveilleuxbioterror: "Our main server rotation is chat.freenode.net. IPv6 users can specify ipv6.chat.freenode.net. Pointers to freenode currently include irc.ghostscript.com, irc.gnu.org, irc.handhelds.org, irc.linux.org, irc.kde.org and irc.redhat.com."02:30
aveilleuxbioterror: No irc.freenode.net02:30
bioterroraveilleux, do you trust some webpage or do you trust dns02:30
aveilleuxbioterror: I trust the fact that pinging irc.freenode.net redirects to chat.freenode.net, and it only works over 6667 and 707002:32
Elise001Please take a look at the 2 screenshots at http://elise01.imgur.com.02:32
aveilleuxElise001: "elise01 does not have any public albums! Sorry!"02:32
aveilleuxElise001: Just give us the direct links to the images02:32
jasonoaveilleux Your config didn't work02:32
Elise001Let me see what I can do. I'm new to the site.02:32
Elise001Not sure what it is.02:33
aveilleuxjasono: make sure you don't have conflicting settings elsewhere. I think Freenode comes preconfigured in XChat.02:33
JoeMaverickSettElise001: are you familiar with Flickr or Picasa? if so, upload it there and give us the public link.02:33
aveilleuxI hate Flickr and Picasa.02:34

Elise001Please bear with me. What would the link look like on Picassa? I gave my email address above because I think it ties in with Picassa.02:42
aveilleuxElise001: I know nothing about Picasa, but it should give you a set of links with each image you upload.02:42
Elise001How do I make a link on Picassa?02:42

jasonoandrew_46 Didn't work. :(02:46
Elise001I don't care if use imgur or Picassa web, as long as you all can see the 2 photos.02:46
Elise001Yes, when updating ubuntu, after 1/2 hour or so, screen gets messed up. And I have to remove battery after unplugging and lose what have already downloaded. Frustrated.02:48
bioterroryour laptop is compaq: something02:48
Elise001Does not happen with Windows XP when I run that on same machine.02:48
Elise001Yes, compaq.02:49
bioterrorand the model02:49
Elise001Model P/N: AT8-C2(C Test)  1AT8B5UTP20   from sticker on bottom.02:50
Elise001Also says that this device has not met all regulatory approvals therefore cannot be offered for sale or lease. I got it at a silent auction for my step-daughter's school.02:52
jasonoHello?02:52
jasonoirc02:52
Elise001As is.02:52
jasonoXChat02:52
Elise001So I guess I'd better take the battery out, because I can't do anything with the Compaq with it like this.02:53
Elise001But I am IRCing from my Samsung netbook. I am afraid to load Ubuntu on it. I need at least 1 good working computer for my graduate classes.02:54
bioterrorsamsungs has own problems with buttons and suspends02:55
Elise001+biterror: Did the model number help?02:55
Elise001I mean bioterror and aveilleux.02:55
bioterrorElise001, nope. problem might be that it's a test model, so there's no userbase for it02:55
cagriemerElise001:  Can you boot into Ubuntu on your Compaq?02:56
Elise001cagreimer: Yes.02:56
cagriemerElise001:  Do you use a proprietary driver foCOuld you please check "System" --> "Administration" --> "Additional Drivers" and see if there is a driver available for your graphics card.02:56
bioterrorcagriemer, problem is also totally slow download speed of updates02:57
Elise001bioterror: Yes, Compaq is slow in either ubuntu or windows.02:58
cagriemerbioterror:  maybe we can suggest a suitable mirror?02:58
Elise001cagreimer: I must remove battery, reboot in ubuntu, then tell you. Will take a while. Thanks to you and others.02:59
andrew_46jasono: Hmmm.... sorry, I am more of an irssi user than xchat :(03:00
Elise001modprobe: FATAL: Could not load /lib/modules/2.6.   and continues error msg twice per usual.03:02

Elise001system->administration->additional drivers.03:03
Elise001Searching.03:03
Elise001Lots of words. Here goes: Proprietary drivers are being used to make this computer work properly.03:05
bioterroras clock is 05:0503:05
Elise001Proprietary drivers do not have public source code that Ubuntu developers are free to modify.03:05
bioterrorI'm not at my best, but someone should assist you to dig dmesg03:06
bioterrorsearch what's the problem on boot03:06
Elise001Security updates and corrections depend solely on the responsiveness of the manufacturer.03:06
Elise001Ubuntu cannot fix or improve these drivers.03:07
Elise001NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (version 173)03:07
Elise001Tested by Ubuntu developers03:08
cagriemeris it installed? there should be a green light on the left side03:08
Elise001License: Proprietary03:08
Elise0013D-accelerated proprietary graphics driver for NVIDIA cards.03:09
cagriemeryou don't have to write everything is  NVIDIA graphics driver installed?03:09
Elise001This driver is required to fully utilise the 3D potential of NVIDIA graphics cards,03:10
bioterrorhaha03:10
bioterroris that driver installed or not03:10
Gskellingwait whats the problem03:10
bioterrorwe know what it says, to be quite honest03:10
Elise001as well as provide 2D acceleration of newer cards.03:10
Gskellingsounds similar to a problem im having03:10
Gskellingi just came in03:10
Elise001I'll skip to last line:03:11
JoeMaverickSett11:05 | Elise001 > Lots of words. Here goes: Proprietary drivers are being used to make this computer work properly.03:11
Elise001This driver is activated and currently in use.03:11
JoeMaverickSettthat seems to me, as Proprietary driver is installed. :)03:11
Gskellingwhen i activate my nvidia accelerated graphics driver03:11
Gskellingafter a reboot, x doesnt start03:11
JoeMaverickSettElise001: i think you might want to disable that propreitary driver. and see if the issue still exists.03:13
cagriemerElise001:  Remove the driver and check for the updates.03:13
=== Gskelling is now known as Gskellig
Elise001I clicked on Remove. System wants me to authenticate.03:16
Elise001And says that system policy prevents installation/removal of device drivers.03:17
Elise001I clicked on Details and got Action: com.ubuntu.devicedriver.install03:18
cagriemeruse your password and authenticate03:18
JoeMaverickSettElise001: just remove the drive. give the password. :)03:18
Elise001Vendor: Jockey driver manager03:18
Elise001Taking a long time and/or won't do it.03:19
Elise001Clicked on link com.ubuntu.devicedriver.install    Nothing happened.03:21
cagriemernope don't click on the links at the details section03:21
JoeMaverickSettElise001: just click REMOVE, give your password, don't need to click details and such?03:21
Elise001Then clicked on link Jockey driver manager.03:21
cagriemerjust enter your password and click authenticate03:21
Elise001I did when it talked about my network key.03:22
JoeMaverickSettElise001: you don't need to click such things, if unless you really want to learn the history of Jockey Driver Manager:D03:22
Elise001I have to leave soon for friend's house for diner.03:23
Elise001It won't do it. Sigh.03:24
bioterroryou wont do what03:24
bioterrorremove the iivyl propietary driver?03:24
bioterrorfrom polluting your opensource operating system ;)03:25
cagriemerElise001:  here is a list for you to try when you have time: 1) remove the driver 2) change the repository from synaptic to a one in your country 3) check for and install updates 4) install nvidia driver03:25
JoeMaverickSettElise001: and could you also give us the full error of the modprobe error message? :)03:26
Elise001A window says: Sorry the Jockey backend crashed. Please file a bug at: ubuntu-bug jockey-common03:29
Elise001Trying to recover by restarting backend03:29
Elise001Will close window now.03:29
Elise001My wireless network connection keeps going up and down.03:30
Elise001So get Authentication required by wrireless network03:32
Elise001What does that backend business mean?03:32
Elise001And cagriemer, what country are you in?03:32
cagriemerI'm in Australia03:33
Elise001I am in USA near Stanford.03:33
Elise001ok, just wondering.03:33

Cheri703is it remotely possible to use mac cups drivers on ubuntu?07:21
kgrollHello. Anybody in here who might be able to help me enable my wireless ethernet card in k/ubuntu 10.10?07:37
_CommandeR_what card?07:38
kgrollNot sure. Would a lspci tell me that?07:38
_CommandeR_think it is lspci | grep wlan or something need to check on my archie07:39
_CommandeR_what kernel are you running ?07:40
kgrollHow do I check that? :\07:41
kgrollTo give a little more background:07:42
_CommandeR_ok first do a  lspci | grep Wireless07:42
kgrollno luck with that. I grepped for wireless, lan, wlan, ethernet07:42
_CommandeR_and then uname -r07:42
kgroll2.6.35-25-generic07:42
_CommandeR_type grep wireless with captial W07:43
kgrollgrep -i did the trick!07:43
kgrollIntel PRO Wireless 2915ABG07:43
kgrollAnd, I'm pretty sure I can see it in ifconfig07:44
kgrollAs eth107:44
kgrollThe thing is, I've used wireless on this machine before07:44
_CommandeR_so it died or ?07:44
kgrollWell07:44
kgrollI don't think so07:44
kgrollI did ifconfig eth1 down07:45
kgrollthen brought it back up07:45
kgrollThen just an iwconfig eth1 essid <mynetwork>07:45
kgrollBut wasn't able to get dhcpclient to assign me an ip after that07:45
_CommandeR_oh07:46
kgroll(I normally just use the gui to connect to a wireless network)07:46
kgrollSo, I thought okay, let me try to disable my wireless card and then turn it back on07:46
kgrollThere's a button on my laptop to disable the card07:46
_CommandeR_and it is not going up ?07:46
kgrollI hit it, then hit it again to turn it back on, but it doesn't seem to go back up07:46
kgrollBut, I can still see the eth1 in ifconfig07:46
kgrollThe problem I have now, is that aside from not being able to connect to my network, I can't even see the Available Networks icon in my notification tray anymore07:48
_CommandeR_i see07:48
_CommandeR_does it have a led or something indicating that it is turned on or not ?07:48
kgrollAs an aside, let me just tell you how nice it is to actually be talking to somebody about this, rather than just googling for answers07:49
_CommandeR_guessing that it is not turned on even when you switched the flip07:49
kgrollIt's blinking07:49
kgrollWhich I've never seen it do before07:49
kgrollBut, I don't know if that means there's some sort of hardware failure or what07:49
_CommandeR_if the wifi led is blinking it is getting information..07:50
_CommandeR_or data*07:50
kgrollIt's not blinking like Activity LEDs normally blink. I can't recall what it normally does07:50
kgrollBut this is just a periodic blink every second07:50
_CommandeR_on and off all the time ?07:51
kgrollyep07:51
_CommandeR_its a feature that is anying but shows the data transfers07:51
_CommandeR_anoying*07:51
kgrollIt doesn't appear to be sending or recieving any packets though07:52
kgrollYou know how a lot of laptops have physical volume buttons on the case, but you can still control the volume through the os if you choose?07:52
_CommandeR_yea07:53
kgrollIs there something similar to that for wireless?07:53
kgrollIE, maybe the physical button isn't working correct, so I can check somewhere in the os to enable/disable the card?07:53
_CommandeR_well since is on it should find networks so you can go dmesg and check the last lines07:54
kgrollI think it's off altogether now07:54
_CommandeR_but to force it go up do a ifconfig wlan0 up or what the name of the wifi is07:54
kgrollI hit the button on the case a minute ago to see if I could cycle through more modes07:55
kgrollIt stopped blinking (and disappeared from ifconfig), but I can't get it back on07:55
_CommandeR_how does the button work is it on/off or something more07:55
kgrollI thought it was just on/off07:55
_CommandeR_well I guess it is.07:55
_CommandeR_do a ifconfig name up07:55
_CommandeR_name that is eth1 that i find odd07:56
kgroll"Operation not possible due to RF-kill"07:56
_CommandeR_eth1 should or used to be ethernet port07:56
kgrollyea, I think it's named weird07:56
_CommandeR_ok 1 sek need to check the driver for your card07:56
kgrollBut I'm confident that's correct, because earlier (when it was working) I did a: iwlist eth1 scan and was able to see all the local networks07:57
kgrollhey _CommandeR_07:59
kgrollAre you connected via wifi right now?07:59
_CommandeR_yea08:00
_CommandeR_try do this08:00
kgrollwhat if you do:08:00
kgrollrfkill list08:00
kgrollYou see anything?08:00
_CommandeR_rmod ipw220008:00
kgrollI don't have rmod in my path08:01
_CommandeR_dont have rfkill08:01
kgroll:(08:01
_CommandeR_rmmod sorry :P08:01
kgrollWhat's ipw2200?08:01
_CommandeR_driver module for your card08:02
kgrollSo if I do that, won't I no longer have the driver installed?08:02
_CommandeR_rmmod should reload it and modprobe ipw2200 should load it again08:02
_CommandeR_wait few seconds with the second command08:02
kgrollOH08:02
kgrollThis is a good sign08:02
kgrollI just got "Disconnected - No Offline"08:03
_CommandeR_yea kills the driver08:03
kgroll_CommandeR_ I really like the looks of this08:03
_CommandeR_modprobe it08:04
kgrollyea08:04
kgrollSo I just did that08:04
kgrollNow, in the Available Networks icon08:04
kgrollI see: Wired: No Networks08:04
kgrollWireless: device not managed08:04
_CommandeR_and ifconfig wlan0 up08:04
_CommandeR_or eth108:04
_CommandeR_should aktivate the wireless08:05
kgrollOperation not possible due to RF-kill08:05
kgrollI can do: rfkill list08:05
kgrollIt shows me:08:05
kgrollhp-wifi: Wireless LAN08:05
kgrollSoft blocked: no08:05
kgrollHard blocked: yes08:05
kgrollWhich makes me think that button on my laptop is preventing any connection08:06
_CommandeR_is the switch on ?08:06
_CommandeR_because it is thinking that the wifi is set to off08:06
kgrollIt's on08:07
kgrollalright08:07
kgrollIt just let me bring eth1 up08:07
kgrollbut still says "device not managed" in the available networks dropdown08:07
_CommandeR_btw you have anything connected to the ethernet port ?08:07
kgrollno08:07
kgrollI have a ethernet cable if you'd like me to connect it08:08
_CommandeR_nah just checking some laptops and computers have bios setting for only running eather one08:08
_CommandeR_not both08:09
_CommandeR_but hardblock is indicating that the swtich is set to off or it thinks so08:10
kgrollNot anymore08:10
kgrollNow it shows hardblocked: no08:10
_CommandeR_try to up it08:10
kgrollit's up08:11
kgrollifconfig thinks it is08:11
_CommandeR_no networks ?08:11
kgrollThis is when you wanna just smash the thing with a hammer08:11
_CommandeR_intel sucks somehow08:11
kgroll"Device not managed" is all it says under Wireless networks08:11
kgrollI just edited my /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf file, based on this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=110958508:13
kgrollDo I need to logoff to allow that to take effect?08:13
_CommandeR_not sure08:14
kgrolltrying now08:14
kgrollI just logged out and logged back in. Now ifconfig shows:08:15
kgrolleth108:15
kgrolland08:15
kgrolleth1:avahi08:15
kgrollI've never seen that second one before08:15
_CommandeR_could you pastebin your rc.conf and ifconfig ?08:16
kgrollI don't know how, since I don't have any connection on that machine08:16
_CommandeR_oh..08:16
kgrollI guess I can put it on a flash drive08:16
_CommandeR_no wait08:16
kgrollOr I can try to hook up the wired connection?08:16
_CommandeR_check rc.conf network section of interfaces08:18
kgrollIs that in /etc/?08:19
kgrollI can't find rc.conf08:19
_CommandeR_/etc/rc.conf08:19
kgrollDoesn't exist08:20
_CommandeR_running kubuntu yes?08:20
kgrollubuntu08:20
kgrollSorry if that's caused any confusion08:20
kgrollThere's a bunch of /etc/rc[\d].d files08:21
kgrollLike, rc5.d, rc6.d, etc.08:21
kgrolloh they're directories08:22
_CommandeR_nah seems that arch is only using the old system...08:22
bioterrorhahaha08:22
_CommandeR_ehm check /etc/network/interfaces08:23
bioterrorkeep _CommandeR_ your arch problems on #archlinux08:23
_CommandeR_i do not have problems bioterror08:23
kgrollI have all the problems08:23
_CommandeR_a common intel wifi problem...08:24
kgroll_CommandeR_ all I have in my interfaces file is the auto lo08:24
kgrollloopback?08:24
kgrolliface lo inet loopback08:24
bioterror_CommandeR_, Arch is not using old system, Arch is using BSD styled rc08:25
bioterrorand ubuntu uses more common to linux08:25
kgrollWould installing arch linux solve all of my problems?08:26
kgroll:$08:26
_CommandeR_haha well no08:26
_CommandeR_this is a common problem on all distros from what i know08:26
JackyAlcine_CommandeR_: wireless?08:27
_CommandeR_yea08:27
JackyAlcine=/ so true.08:27
kgrollI've screwed it up though08:27
kgrollIt was working fine just two hours ago08:27
_CommandeR_for some reason his wlan is eth108:27
_CommandeR_and rf killed08:28
kgrollNot rfkilled anymore08:28
JackyAlcineVery odd, and I'm reading back; you edited your ./interfaces file which was my first idea.08:28
kgrollI'm willing to try anything at this point08:28
_CommandeR_wait a sec, kgroll, you only got lo in interfaces ?08:28
kgrollyea08:28
kgrollBut it's always been that way08:29
kgrollEven before, when wireless worked08:29
_CommandeR_gonna boot to my ubutu box and check but I am pretty sure i have each interface there08:29
_CommandeR_ubuntu*08:30
kgrollHow likely do you guys/gals think it is that this is actually a hardware issue?08:30
bioterrorofcourse it is listed in ifconfig08:30
_CommandeR_not likely08:30
kgrollLike, that button on my laptop isn't working or soemthing08:30
Daniel0108kgroll: lo is Local Loopback, it's impossible that you are online with just lo :P08:30
kgrollI'm typing on my desktop08:30
kgrollMy laptop is one that's not working08:30
bioterrorkgroll, did lspci find your chipset?08:31
kgrollyea08:31
kgrollit's an intel PRO something something08:31
kgrolllet me pull that up again08:31
bioterrorand dmesg tells you too?08:31
kgrollyea08:31
_CommandeR_my interfaces in ubuntu also only contains lo08:32
bioterroras lspci just tells "there's hardware", dmesg tells kernel finds it08:32
kgrollIntel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG08:32
kgrollI wish I could pastebin it :\08:32
bioterrorkgroll, does dmesg tell if its wlan0 or eth108:32
kgrollWhere would it say that?08:33
kgrollSomething I could grep for?08:33
bioterrordmesg |grep Wireless08:33
kgrollso08:33
bioterrorpossible08:33
kgrolldmesg | grep wlan returns nothing08:33
kgrolldmesg | grep eth1 returns:08:33
kgrolleth1: no ipv6 routers present08:33
bioterrorhmmm08:33
kgrolland08:33
bioterrorkgroll, sudo ifconfig eth1 up08:34
kgrollADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth1: link is not ready08:34
kgrolleth1 is already up08:34
_CommandeR_not listed in ifconfig?08:34
bioterrorshould be listed as it's up08:34
kgrollit is08:34
kgrollI just took it down and back up08:34
bioterrorgood08:34
bioterrorcan you now connect to AP?08:35
kgrollap?08:35
bioterroraccess point08:35
kgrollNot sure how08:35
_CommandeR_network08:35
kgrolloh08:35
kgrolllike, using iwconfig?08:35
kgrollOr just the gui08:35
bioterrorwhat ever you want08:35
_CommandeR_what she said08:35
kgrollNo networks show up in the gui08:35
kgrollBecause under the Available Networks icon, it just shows: Wireless - Device Not Managed08:36
bioterrorkgroll, iwlist scan08:36
kgrollno results08:36
kgrollI was scanning on eth1 earlier today at a coffee shop and got plenty of results08:36
bioterrorhave you edited anything?08:38
kgrollNo08:38
kgrollOh08:38
kgrollwait08:38
kgrollI did edit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf08:38
kgrollBased on this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=110958508:39
kgroll(Somebody who was also getting "Device not managed" had their problem fixed by editing that file)08:39
kgrollI just changed managed=false to true08:39
kgrollDidn't resolve my problem though08:40
bioterroryou have you reversed the change?08:40
kgrollyes08:40
kgrollBut I can reverse the reversal if you suggest I do so!08:41
_CommandeR_^^08:41
bioterrorno08:41
bioterrorI have managed=false08:41
kgrollQuestion08:41
kgrollWhat if I reinstalled my OS08:41
kgrollYou guys think that would fix my problem?08:41
_CommandeR_no need08:42
bioterrorI would rather suggest to try livecd08:42
bioterrorif it works08:42
kgrollThat's a good idea08:42
bioterrorbut have you updated kernel08:42
kgrollI'm running 2.6.35-2508:42
kgrollgeneric08:42
bioterroryes you're, but have you done any system updates between the brakedown?08:42
_CommandeR_since it is intel it is merged so if it is not really old kernel it should work08:43
kgrollno08:43
bioterrorsounds really weird08:43
_CommandeR_it is intel wifi so it is standard..08:43
kgrollI agree08:43
kgrollAlright08:43
kgrollSo how does this sound08:43
kgrollI try the live CD08:43
kgrollAnd then all of my problems are solved08:43
bioterrorif they are08:44
kgrollthen?08:44
_CommandeR_I had same problem that wifi would die and not up but weird name and not finding networks I did not08:44
kgrollquestion08:45
_CommandeR_shoot08:45
kgrollI have a / and a /home partition08:45
kgrollCan I reinstall the OS and not touch my /home?08:45
_CommandeR_yea08:45
bioterroryes08:45
bioterrorbut test that livecd first08:45
bioterrorthat you know it's not broken08:46
bioterrorphysically08:46
kgrollYea08:46
kgrollI'ma give that a shot08:46
_CommandeR_try also plug something into etho08:46
bioterroreth0 doesnt matter08:47
_CommandeR_no but since it is waky it may redetect the card08:47
_CommandeR_had this issue on my laptop that plugging ethernet with a cable would kill/reboot the wifi08:48
kgroll-onhislaptHow about that08:48
_CommandeR_do a ifconfig08:49
kgroll-onhislapteth0 cooking08:49
kgrollYou guys want a pastebin?08:49
kgrollI can do that now08:49
_CommandeR_sure08:49
kgroll-onhislapthttp://pastebin.com/CnAL75sk08:50
kgrollOnly two hours left on this 10.10 iso download =x08:51
_CommandeR_ what version of livecd are you running *08:52
_CommandeR_?08:52
bioterrorkgroll-onhislapt, change that "managed=false" to =true"08:52
bioterrorand then do sudo killall nm-system-settings08:52
kgroll-onhislaptshould I unplug eth0 first?08:53
bioterrordoesnt matter08:53
bioterror:D08:53
_CommandeR_bioterror, is this some new way to handle wifi in ubuntu not naming wlan as wlan0 ?08:53
bioterror_CommandeR_, it happens some times with different chipsets08:53
kgrollNo process found08:53
bioterrorkgroll, what's your network manager08:53
bioterrorin kde08:54
kgrollHow?08:54
kgrollI'm in Gnome08:54
bioterrorokay08:54
_CommandeR_probably standard gnome-network-manager08:54
kgrollI haven't changed it08:54
kgrollSo yea08:54
bioterrorbut it's not working with LiveCD?08:56
kgrollI'm downloading it08:56
kgroll1 hour 50 minutes left08:56
kgrollMy connection is blazing fast08:56
_CommandeR_^08:56
kgrollWhat's this eth1:avahi08:57
bioterrorkgroll, can you change that manged=true08:57
kgrollOkay08:57
kgrollI've got it that way now08:57
bioterrorand then sudo service networking restart08:57
kgroll(As of a couple minutes ago)08:57
bioterrorand sudo service network-manager restart08:57
kgrollokay08:57
kgrollI'm gonna unplug my ethernet cable from the laptop08:58
bioterrorif you want08:58
kgrollWell, I restarted it, and it just seemed to refresh the eth008:58
kgroll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!08:58
bioterrorwait for a moment08:58
kgrollbioterror:08:58
kgrollWhere do you live08:58
bioterrorFinland08:58
kgrollI need to send you a bouquet08:59
kgrollYou know what that means right???08:59
kgrollConnected!08:59
_CommandeR_nice08:59
kgrollYou forgot a few exclamation marks...08:59
_CommandeR_try not to play with the wifi switch when outside ^^09:00
bioterror:)09:00
kgrollDo you guys realize how excited I am right now?09:00
kgrollThis is a huge relief09:00
JoeMaverickSett*sigh* :P09:00
bioterrorkgroll, I know, you had a little adrenaline boost and now your brains are releasing some endorphine09:00
kgrollI need to break my wifi more often in that case...09:01
bioterrorsmall things with linux that makes using it worth the small tweaking09:01
_CommandeR_sigh hate that my computer is the crappiest support for linux kernel09:01
_CommandeR_got*09:01
kgrollThis is fantastic09:01
kgrollSo, would you all say that we're on a roll now?09:02
kgrollBecause I can fire off another question09:02
bioterrorkgroll, it's like riding a bike with huge gear and you climb a hill with it09:02
bioterrorahh that feeling09:02
kgrollThanks a million to both of you09:02
bioterrorkgroll, what's the next question09:02
_CommandeR_np09:03
kgrollIt gets back to what I originally wanted to do when I got into this mess09:03
kgrollI want to run xmonad09:03
bioterroroh no09:03
kgrolloh yea09:03
bioterrorohhhh no09:03
kgrollYou see, I don't have a mouse09:03
bioterrorbuy one :D09:03
kgrollSuper expensive in the United States09:04
bioterrortiling wm's are the most retardest thing09:04
kgrollWHAT?09:04
kgrollYou better not say that vim is retarded too09:04
bioterrorit's okay if you run glxgears and couple of terminals and you just want to run top09:04
kgrollMy motivation is that09:04
kgrollI spend so much time resizing terminal windows09:04
kgrollWhich is incredibly frustrating w/o a mouse09:05
kgroll(using the laptops trackpad)09:05
bioterrorit's not that horrible09:05
kgrollI'd rather eat glass09:05
kgrollAlright, so pretend I didn't say xmonad09:05
bioterrorI resize all the time my ircing terminal to ̃~150x2409:05
kgrollBut, pretend I don't have any sort of gui for some unexplained reason09:05
kgrollAnd I want to connect to a wireless network09:06
_CommandeR_srsly what shitty touchpad you god lol09:06
kgrollIt's one step above a inert piece of plastic09:06
kgrollAre these the steps I would take to connect via command line...09:06
kgrollsudo iwconfig eth1 essid mynetwork key s:myWPA2pass09:07
kgrolldhcpclient eth109:07
kgrollThat's it?09:07
bioterrordhclient09:08
kgrolloh yea09:08
kgrollThat's what I meant09:08
_CommandeR_Im not sure, but you can enable auto connect so it would connect to a saved network09:08
kgrolltab complete always takes over for me by that point09:08
_CommandeR_or networks09:08
bioterrorsudo echo "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid mynetwork key s:myWPA2pass && sudo dhclient eth1" > /usr/local/bin/gimmewirelez09:09
bioterrorsudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gimmewirelez09:09
kgrollYou continue to impress me bioterror09:10
kgrollespecially since you called it gimmewirelez09:10
bioterrorthat's how I would do it09:10
kgrolloh09:10
kgrollabout the key s:pass part09:11
kgrollI use "This is my pass"09:11
bioterrorthat's just example for the line09:11
bioterroryou can find the working combination09:11
kgrollEr, I didn't really explain that well09:11
kgrollBut, I mean, if my password was multiple words, I put it in quotes?09:11
bioterroryes, I think so09:12
bioterrorI have only one word, as I am a fin, we have lots of compound words09:12
_CommandeR_hahha09:12
bioterrorwe can have a one word that's actually three words09:13
_CommandeR_wupmedhenderna09:13
bioterrorbruteforce that09:13
kgrollDo you like those little black licorice candies?09:13
bioterroryes I like salmiakki09:13
kgrollugh09:13
_CommandeR_ugh09:13
kgrollI'd rather try to fix my wifi than eat one of those09:13
bioterrorkgroll, http://www.salmiyuck.com/09:13
kgrollThat's my picture09:14
kgrollYou probably like blood sausage too?09:14
bioterrornope09:14
bioterrorI'm not from tampere :D09:14
_CommandeR_it is not bad really09:14
kgrollI better stick to ubuntu questions09:14
bioterroryou seem to know these filthy secrets09:14
_CommandeR_me?09:15
bioterrorI was actually wondering09:15
bioterroris there a tiling wm with systray09:15
_CommandeR_your country men dissapoint me bioterror09:15
bioterroror would it look stupid to have tint2 panel with minimal configurations09:15
kgrollNot in xmonad09:15
bioterrorand then run nm-applet09:15
JoeMaverickSettdwm? :D09:15
bioterroror wicd, what ever is your choice09:15
_CommandeR_wicd is not great09:16
bioterror_CommandeR_, it's great if you dont to hussle with gnome dependencies, but lacks with mobile phones as a modem09:16
_CommandeR_btw you are talking about wicd as in network manager right?09:16
bioterror_CommandeR_, y09:16
_CommandeR_yea running wicd on my arch09:17
_CommandeR_but like gnome network manager more.09:17
bioterrorwhy there's no ncurses based network manager09:17
bioterrorwicd-curses !09:18
bioterrorkgroll, try wicd-curses for your wireless needs to connect from terminal09:19
kgrollWhat is it?09:19
bioterrorhttp://cdn.omgsuse.com/omg/images/wicd_opensusecurses.jpg09:20
_CommandeR_.37 kernel makes my shutdown freeze, damn Linus Torvald09:20

_CommandeR_makes sense09:29
kgrollIf I do aptitude search <whatever>, the little A on the far left means I have that installed on my system?09:36

JackyAlcineWouldn't you have to unlock your password keyring for that, bioterror?11:22
bioterrorJackyAlcine, that's easy greasy11:23
JackyAlcineLol, yeah, seems like he needed to save his passwords in cleartext.11:23
JackyAlcineOr something that'd remove that authentication request.11:23
bioterrorright click nm-applet icon in systray, edit connections, take wireless tab, edit current connection you're using, there you should see at the bottom of window a "available to all users", check that box and put your password11:24

duanedesignAbhijiT: hello12:40
AbhijiThi duanedesign i have a question for you!12:40
duanedesignAbhijiT: saw your ping from yesterfay "_12:40
AbhijiTyeah12:40
AbhijiTduanedesign, i want to knoow if you anyhow related to design field?12:40
duanedesignoops, typing skills have not woke up yet :P12:40
duanedesignAbhijiT: yep12:41
AbhijiTduanedesign, mauy i know how?12:41
duanedesignwell, Graphic Design if that is what you mean12:41
AbhijiTwhats course you have done?12:41
AbhijiTok12:41
duanedesignI went to college and majored in Graphic Design and minored in Photography12:41
AbhijiTokay12:42
AbhijiTduanedesign, thats cool!12:42
AbhijiT:)12:42
duanedesigni have  a really awful website that still has a few pieces I have done12:42

AbhijiTok12:44
JackyAlcineduanedesign: Lol, that's the two majours I'm taking in high school right now.12:47
JackyAlcinePhotography gives us such a better eye in application design, more than I thought graphic design would.12:47
=== Vetinari is now known as lukjad
duanedesignJackyAlcine:lu!!12:50
duanedesignoops12:50
duanedesignlukjad: !!12:50
JackyAlcinelol12:50
duanedesignJackyAlcine: typography is another skill that is under used in the design world. Particularly web and application design. Some of that is to do with the limitations  of the medium though12:51
duanedesignJackyAlcine: photography started out as purely for fun. However I agree it has helped in ways I did not imagine12:52
MrChrisDruifIt's an important part into the total design of a website or other medium for that matter...12:52
duanedesignAbhijiT: did you need anything specific or just curious?13:59
AbhijiTduanedesign, i need actually but not now14:00
AbhijiTduanedesign, i was interested in taking design course. but that is nut graphics design it was product desin which include graphics too. but i am not sure if i should take or not etc14:00
AbhijiTso wanted to talk about your experience,expertise, etc hows the market etc duanedesign14:02
AbhijiTduanedesign, from which college you take that course? i mean in my case its master course and needs bachelor course as eligiblity so whtas your case?14:04
AbhijiT??14:05
AbhijiTduanedesign, ??14:05
duanedesignAbhijiT: sorry was on phone14:08
AbhijiTok14:08
duanedesignAbhijiT: product design would be fun. I did packaging design, but not product design. Design is udeful because it teaches you to solve problems.14:09
duanedesignuseful*14:10
AbhijiTyeah14:10
AbhijiTduanedesign, the thing i am worried about is the time. that master course is 2 years. so i was confused whether to invest those 2 years in master course or just be with bachlor degre\e14:10
duanedesignAbhijiT: most jobs I have experience with require a bachelors. Have not seen many that require masters14:11
AbhijiTfunny thing is my bachelor degree is of computers and i wish to take master course in degisn!!!!14:13

kgrollHello14:57
bioterrorhow's your wicd-curses doing14:58
kgrollAha!14:58
kgrollI was just hoping you would see this14:58
kgrollI didn't sleep very well14:58
bioterrorI slept 1h40min last night14:58
kgrollSo, did I want to install wicd and wicd-curses ?14:59
kgrollYou've got me beat14:59
kgrollI slept about 514:59
bioterrorDepends: python, python-urwid, wicd-daemon (= 1.7.0+ds1-5ubuntu1)14:59
bioterroryou should be just fine with the wicd-curses as it fetches the daemon15:00
kgrollAs an aside15:00
kgrollIf I do an aptitude search wicd15:00
kgrollWhat do the prefixes (or whatever you call it) stand for in the column before the results15:00
kgrollIE:15:00
kgrolli A  python-wicd15:00
kgrollpi  wicd15:00
kgrollp    wicd-cli15:00

bioterrorI dunno, I dont use aptitude15:01
kgrollOh15:01
kgrollDo you run ubuntu?15:01
bioterroryes15:01
kgrollDo you use a package manager?15:01
kgrollOr just source15:01
bioterrorofcourse I use dpkg15:02
kgrollOf course15:02
JackyAlcinekgroll: Does apt-get count as a package manager?15:03
kgrollYou're asking a ubuntu-beginner!15:04
kgrollBut I guess the answer you're looking for is no?15:04
JackyAlcinelol, I didn't know, but I think I should; it provides the same functionality as Synaptic and Software Centre15:05
kgrollOh, yea15:05
kgrollI thought maybe it was a trick15:05
kgrollThe non-beginners are free to scoff here, but I think the software centre is just a gui on top of aptitude15:05
kgrollbioterror, after I install wicd-curses, do I just want to launch it with wicd-client -n ?15:06
bioterrorI bet man page tells15:06
kgrollTouche15:06
kgrollBy the way15:07
bioterrorI'm not the one who wants to use tiling wm ;))15:07
kgrollHave you given it more thought since then??15:07
kgroll(And was that a smilie with a chin?)15:07
JackyAlcinelol, good question, kgroll.15:07
bioterrorit just tells me I weight 130kg and I have double neck15:08
bioterror-me15:08
bioterroror chin15:08
bioterrorwhat ever that is :D15:08
bioterrorcant remember every bodypart in english15:09
a2wari2Will any one tell me where is Ubuntu-Beginner wiki page? Going on Ubuntu site one comes across many things like "Absolute beginners talk" on Ubuntu Forum and there is Launchpad, OpenID, Ubuntu Wiki and may be many more. Is Ubuntu Wiki, Ubuntu Forum and Launchpad one and the same?15:09
kgrollIt's generally called a double chin15:09
bioterrora2wari2, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BeginnersTeam/15:10
kgrollIt looks like I'm due for a trip to #wicd15:10
bioterroroh look, it was in the topic too15:10
a2wari2bioterror, thank you15:11
kgrollWhen I start my session w/ Gnome, wicd connects to my network fine. But in xmonad it stalls trying to validate my wpa key15:11
kgrollhey bioterror15:12
kgrollWhat made you suggest wicd?15:12
bioterrorI suggested that curses15:13
kgrollIs it like the goto wired/wireless manager?15:13
kgrollwicd-curses I mean15:13
bioterrorbecouse tiling wm's doesnt have a systray by default15:13
bioterrorthere's no idea to run nm-applet or gui wicd15:13
kgrollI'm with you there15:14
kgrollAre there alternatives to wicd-curses? (Just out of curiousity)15:14
kgrollwicd-curses is great though15:16
kgrollbioterror, when you get a chance, could you do me a favor15:22
bioterrorwhat kind of?15:22
kgrollAbout 7 hours ago, you showed me a suggested method and saved it as a script called gimmeinternetz15:23
kgrollI don't have the history though since I'm in a browser irc client15:23
kgrollCould you either go copy/paste that for me, or recreate it now?15:23
kgrollPlease15:24
bioterrorSat11:09*<+bioterror> sudo echo "sudo iwconfig eth1 essid mynetwork key s:myWPA2pass && sudo dhclient eth1" > /usr/local/bin/gimmewirelez15:24
bioterrorSat11:09*<+bioterror> sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/gimmewirelez15:24
kgrollOh15:24
kgrollThat's it15:24
kgrollOk, thank you15:24
kgrollHow do I make scripts run at startup?15:25
kgroll(If there's a quick answer to that. I can google it if not)15:25
bioterrorI dunno about xmonad15:25
bioterrorif you were a lxde or wmaker user, or even fluxbox, I could guide you15:26
kgrollSo it that depends on your window manager?15:26
bioterrorpossible .config/autostart or something15:26
kgrollWhat terminal emulator do you use bioterror ?15:29
bioterrorurxvt15:29
bioterrormostly urxvtd and I launch urxvtc's15:30
=== AbhijiT is now known as Guest90948
=== AbhijiT_ is now known as AbhiJiT
kgrollBizarre15:41
kgrollWhen I run wicd-curses in my Gnome session, my network shoes 98% strength and I connect fine15:41
kgrollBut in an xmonad session, I'm at 76% strength and I can't connect (Won't validate)15:42
kgrollI'm wondering if wicd is working in my gnome session based on some services that gnome starts in the background15:52
kgrollHow would I see what services those are?15:52
bioterrorkgroll, you have gnome-network-manager still running?15:59
kgrollyea16:04
kgrollI do bioterror16:04
bioterrorremove it16:04
kgrollI can do that16:04
bioterrorsudo apt-get purge gnome-network-manager16:04
kgrollPurge is the same as remove, except it removes config files as well?16:06
bioterrorda16:07
MrChrisDruifYup16:08
kgrollI've got a network manager16:08
kgrolland a network-manager-gnome16:08
kgrollDo I wanna purge em both?16:08
MrChrisDruifbioterror: Does it also remove unused deps?16:08
aveilleuxMrChrisDruif: No16:09
MrChrisDruifaptitude does?16:09
aveilleuxMrChrisDruif: If you're talking about apt-get, that is. Aptitude does by default.16:09
MrChrisDruifaveilleux: Yeah, was talking about apt-get16:09
aveilleuxwhat is kgroll trying to do, install Wicd?16:10
bioterroraveilleux, yes16:10
aveilleuxbioterror: Nailed it16:10
bioterroractually wicd-curses16:10
aveilleuxahh16:10
bioterroras he wants to use xmonad16:10
bioterrorand it lacks with built-in systrays16:10
bioterrorand oh well, I wouldnt suggest tint216:10
bioterrorso, easiest way to configure wlan might be wicd-curses16:11
kgrollaveilleux, I'm able to connect to my network using wicd-curses under a gnome session16:11
bioterrorkgroll, you cant have both16:11
bioterrorwicd and gnome-network-manager16:11
kgrollI just removed network-manager-gnome16:11
aveilleuxbioterror: Technically you CAN have both, they both just won't work and they'll conflict16:11
bioterrorand network-manager too16:11
kgrollyes16:11
kgrollOh so this is interesting16:12
kgrollNow that I've removed network-manager-gnome and network-manager, wicd is no longer able to connect to my network16:13
kgrollEven in the gnome session, where it was working before I removed those16:13
bioterrorsoon it is!16:13
bioterrorsudo service wicd restart16:13
bioterroror something16:13
kgrollThat restarted it16:14
kgrollIt still won't validate though :\16:14
bioterrormaybe you have wpa2 and it tries wpa16:14
kgrollConnection Failed: Bad password16:14
bioterrorhahaha16:14
bioterrorthere you go16:14
kgrollI know the password is correct16:14
kgroll1. It works on the desktop I'm currently typing in16:15
bioterroris the encryption and so on16:15
kgroll2. It was working as the password in network-manager-gnome16:15
bioterrorwicd usually offers something else as default, not like gnome-manager16:15
kgrollUse Encryption is on16:15
bioterrorand the encryption is correct16:15
bioterrorthere's a drop down menu16:16
kgrollyea16:16
kgrollWPA216:16
kgrollWhich is accurate according to my other connected machines, and ifconfig16:17
kgrollHey bioterror16:25
kgrollYou know anything about apparmor config?16:25
bioterrorhmmm16:33
bioterrorkgroll, our great leader has made a nice tutorial: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=100890616:34
kgrolloh16:35
kgrollThat should be some nice reading, thanks for sharing the link16:35
kgrollI just keep going deeper and deeper into this rabbit hole16:35
kgrollAll for tiling16:35
bioterrorkgroll, follow the white rabbit!16:52

ddecatorhm, i know what that is, but i'm not sure i can personally help with that since i don't use the program myself17:21
gpcrokyronnie: what sort of troubles?17:21
rokyronnieprobably it's not a particular problem, but...... I install it ( with the trial from their website ) and... now when I launch it, appears just a splash screen and then dissapear17:21
rokyronnieand this is it17:21
rokyronnieno guitar pro :(17:21
ddecatorrokyronnie: try launching it from a terminal and copy/paste the output into a pastebin for us17:22
rokyronnieok17:22

rokyronniehm, the adress is /opt/GuitarPro6/GuitarPro , I must add something else in terminal?17:23
ddecatorthat's the command executed when you launch it from the applications menu?17:24
rokyronnieno, that's the adrees for the launch application, but I guess it's the same, cause it open the same thing17:25
rokyronnieanywai, this is that I recieve :17:26
ddecatoryou can try running that and see if the same thing happens, otherwise right-click the applications menu, select to edit the menu, then find the Guitar Pro entry, highlight it, click properties, and see what command it's executing17:26
rokyronnie'/opt/GuitarPro6/GuitarPro'17:26
rokyronnie/opt/GuitarPro6/GuitarPro: error while loading shared libraries: libGPCore.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory17:26
rokyronniebut the library is there17:27
ddecatordid the splash show up?17:27
rokyronnieno17:27
ddecatorsee what command is being used by the applications menu. it might be different17:27
rokyronnieI tried to reinstall it and now I discovered that in applications menu is no icon.Is there a program ( like tuneup utilities in windows ) or something, to make some cleaning?17:29
rokyronnieI guess there were some problems at the installation17:29
ddecatordoes it use a .deb to install?17:29
rokyronnieyes yes17:29
ddecatorgood, that makes things easier17:30
ddecatorit should show up in the ubuntu software center, or you can find it using synaptic17:30
rokyronnieit's not a free software, so it's not in synaptic, I try again with software center17:30
ddecatorright, but if you installed it using a .deb then it will show up in synaptic so you can remove it17:31
ddecatoralso, i should just plug, TuxGuitar is an opensource alternative to Guitar Pro :)17:31
rokyronnieyes, is there17:32
rokyronnieshould I unnistal it?17:32
szczurrokyronnie, but before you do this, try this17:32
szczurcd /opt/GuitarPro617:32
szczur./GuitarPro17:32
szczurif it will give the error about the library17:33
szczurthen reinstall it17:33
rokyronnieyes, there is an error17:33
rokyronnieALSA lib seq_hw.c:457:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory17:33

gpcyou may want to give tuxguitar a try if you can't get guitar pro working17:37
szczurrokyronnie, try sudo modprobe snd-seq17:38
szczurand then run the program17:38
rokyronnieyes yes17:38
rokyronnieit works :D:D17:38
rokyronniecan I add that command to start-up ? I don't wanna enter it every time I will open the GP17:39
szczurcheck if you have sound17:39
szczurif it works flawlessly then do this17:40
szczursudo echo snd-seq >> /etc/modules17:40
szczurand then this module willl be loaded at boot17:40
szczuror wait17:40
szczur5 sec17:40
szczuri'll just check something17:40
szczurjust like i thought17:41
szczurrokyronnie, sudo su17:42
szczurand then echo snd-seq >> /etc/modules17:42
szczurthen it will work at boot time17:42
rokyronniethank you :D, I'll try that immediatly, just let me see if it works, for the first :P17:43
rokyronnieI have to download soundbanks first, but... in the Audio Settings I see no Midi Out Devices17:50
rokyronniewhy? I must say I use OSS417:50
rokyronnieat Soundcard it show me PulseAudio output, but my defaut device is OSS4, why isn't it there ? :-?17:51
bioterrorszczur, you make my cry, I'm so proud!17:54
szczurhuh?17:55
bioterror:D17:55
JoeMaverickSettszczur: his way of saying, you're an awesome padawan ;D17:55
szczurrokyronnie, unfortunately i have no experience with Pulseaudioi'll search for something17:56
szczurJoeMaverickSett, yeah... :P17:56
rokyronniethank you :)17:56
szczurrokyronnie, you can try using timidity as your midi sound server18:09
szczurhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/Midi/SoftwareSynthesisHowTo#Installing%20TiMidity++18:09
rokyronnieoh, I'll try that :D18:09
szczurbut don't know if it works well since i don't have the way to check it18:10
rokyronnieok, but, what command I must use for repositories?18:11
rokyronnieoh, nevermind :D18:12
szczuryou don't have to add teh repositories18:12
szczuryou can donwload the package with the link below18:13
szczurad for the future, you can add repositories by going to synaptic. Clicking on Settings > Repositories18:13
rokyronnieI aded in the file18:14
szczurclick on the other sources tab and click add button. then paste the repository line and that's all18:15
szczuryou can update the package list after this18:16
szczurthis will be for the future18:16
szczurif some command will require adding a repository18:16
Goog_Josh1can anybody help me to install and run kylix 3 on my ubuntu 101018:18

rokyronniethere are 5 commands18:20
rokyronnieeverything is fine, just at the sudo modprobe snd-seq-oss I recieve: FATAL: Module snd_seq_oss not found.18:21
rokyronniethe rest of them are fine18:21
rokyronnieI think I've done, but I see no Timidity in Midi out settings in GP18:26
szczurhmm :/18:28
rokyronniewhat can I do ?18:39
bioterroras it's saturday, have a beer18:39
szczurrokyronnie, don't know, i'm out of ideas. Maybe you should try tuxguitar as someone stated before18:39
bioterrorrokyronnie, Tony Iommi didnt use Guitar Pro when he played Iron Man and N.I.B. ;)18:40
rokyronnieI know :)))18:41
bioterrorneither did Josh Homme with Kyuss ;)18:41
szczuror maybe try guitar pro for windows running through wine18:41
szczurmaybe it will help a little18:41
szczurdon't know18:42
gpcI doubt that will work18:42
gpcguitar pro probably needs a bunch of dll's that will just be a headache to try and get working but give it a try if you want18:42
gpcif you do decide to go the wine way #winehq will be the place to ask18:43
gpcI think tuxguitar is probably your best bet18:44
szczur!18:44
rokyronnieI'll try tuxguitar, thanks18:49
rokyronniehow can I navigate as the root?19:02
stlsaintrokyronnie: navigate what?19:02
rokyronnieThere are many places where you can't create a folder, for example, if you are not the root19:03
bioterror!sudo | rokyronnie19:03
ubot2rokyronnie: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo19:03
stlsaintrokyronnie: yea like your files system folder where you probaly shouldnt go messing with ;)19:03
rokyronnieyes, but If I want to modify something? I don't know how to do that from terminal19:04
bioterrorrokyronnie, read what ubot told ya19:05
bioterror!cli | rokyronnie19:05
ubot2rokyronnie: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro19:05
ddecatorbioterror: somebody learned the factoids..19:06
luc_somebody can tell me why ubunto doesn't recognize my usb memory stick?19:06
bioterrorddecator, those should be first thing to learn when becomes a UBT member19:06
stlsaintluc_: you sure its not there and your just not seeing?19:07
bioterrorluc_, in terminal: dmesg19:07
ddecatorhelpful yes, but there are a few of us who don't like to use factoids too much :)19:07
bioterrorluc_, it should tell you something19:07
szczurrokyronnie, you can also became a root user by doing "sudo su" and confirming with your password19:07
stlsaintbioterror: run from terminal the command "mount"19:07
stlsaintminus the ""19:07
stlsaintits a shame that i even have to say that but you would be amazed19:08
bioterrorstlsaint, I'm not running anything ;)19:08
szczurrokyronnie, or "su root" and then entering the root password19:08
bioterrorszczur, sudo passwd root, first19:08
aveilleuxszczur: Ubuntu does not have root enabled by default and it shouldn't be disabled anyway ;-)19:08
stlsaintLOL19:08
aveilleuxer19:08
stlsaintbioterror: i didnt mean you19:08
aveilleuxenabled*19:08
szczurby default the rpoot password isn't set. you can set it by running sudo passwd and entering the password twice19:08
stlsaintluc_: from terminal run "mount"19:09
szczurheh19:09
aveilleuxszczur: But there's no reason to enable root and it opens a security hole.19:10
rokyronnieok, I kew about sudo su, but this is not gonna help me if I navigate through directories with "explorer" I don't know how it's called in Ubuntu19:10
stlsaintrokyronnie: from terminal run: sudo nautilus19:10
rokyronniethx19:11
aveilleuxrokyronnie, stlsaint: gksudo nautilus # not sudo19:11
luc_mount and dmesg already done, and nothing...:-((19:12

bioterrordid it inform about sdX ?19:13
stlsaintaveilleux: the gk is not required19:14
rokyronniegot to go, be right back19:14
stlsaintaveilleux: maybe alright practice but sudo is not a wrong command to use when wanting to use any graphical interface19:14
luc_dmesg say a lot of things, where I can found sdX?19:15

dairpoHi, I am having trouble reverting from my trial version of Ubuntu 10.10 to my normal OS (Mac OSX)19:51
stlsaintdairpo: theres a trial version of Ubuntu?19:51
stlsaintwow, ive missed that much eh ?? hehe19:51
dairpoI downloaded the .ISO and burned it to disc, when the disc booted I could "try Ubuntu" or Install. I selected "try" but can no longer boot from my harddrive, only from the cd19:52
dairpoI'm probably just using the wrong terminology :)19:52
stlsaintdairpo: then select to boot to the hdd or go into bios and ensure the hdd is set as the primary boot medium19:53
dairpowhere would I go to select boot?19:53
stlsaintdairpo: dont macs have some sort of bios?19:53
bioterrorstlsaint, no19:54
bioterrorstlsaint, OpenFirmware or EFI19:54
stlsaintLOL, that sucks19:54
bioterrorno it does not19:54
stlsaintbioterror: well i mean it sucks cause i have no idea how to help get to boot medium now19:54
bioterror1980's just called and they said that they want their anciet bios back19:55
stlsaintlol19:55
stlsainti like bios19:55
stlsaintsimple yet effective19:55
stlsaintbioterror: well maybe you are better suited to tell op how to boot to internal drive19:55
dairpoI know to hit "c" during boot to get to an option before the OS gets going, but it only lets me jump to the CD19:56
stlsaintdairpo: um did you take the cd out the system?19:57
bioterrordairpo, press "option" key19:57
dairpoIt tells me then that there is no drive available to boot from, so I have to turn off and reboot with the disc in19:57
bioterrorit's the one with "alt"19:57
dairpoWhen I start up the computer?19:58
bioterroryes19:58
aveilleuxdairpo: Do you have your OSX install CD? Or the recovery CD?19:58
stlsaintreally, all that is requried to get back to master drive??19:58
dairpoI might--the computer is getting old and I<ve moved a few times, so it's probably buried. I am going to try to option button--is there anything else I should know before signing off?19:59
aveilleuxstlsaint: This is EFI we're talking about here :P19:59
aveilleuxstlsaint: A ridiculously complicated method for performing boot operations20:00
stlsaintoh dear20:00
aveilleuxdairpo: I only ask because you can open Terminal on the install CD and re-bless your hard drive so it's bootable20:00
stlsaintoh wait i think i use efi on our newest desktops at work20:01
bioterroraveilleux, should be done with the option key20:01
stlsainti dunno but i know im heading to bed folks...night night20:01
aveilleuxbioterror: You can't re-bless drives from EFI20:02
dairpoalright, i"ll give it a try. thanks!!20:02
bioterrorStartup Disk - Holding the Option Key at boot time activates a boot manager built in to the firmware, where the user may choose from which drive/partition to boot the computer from, including Mac OS and Mac OS X partitions or drives on PowerPC-based Macs, and Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows partitions or drives on Intel-based Macs (running Mac OS X 10.4.6 and later with Boot Camp from Apple20:02
bioterrorInc. installed). The built in bootloader can also boot other operating systems such as Linux; however, these are labeled as "Windows" in the bootloader.20:02
aveilleuxbioterror: Yes, I'm aware you can get to the boot menu from EFI. That's not what "blessing" a drive means.20:03
JackyAlcineaveilleux: Like reinstalling the MBR/GUID to it?20:04
aveilleuxJackyAlcine: ...kind of. You know how the GRUB files are in /boot, while GRUB itself is installed into the MBR? Since the EFI is the bootloader (no MBR on a proper OSX drive), it searches for the system files on the "blessed" drive.20:05
bioterroraveilleux, you can do that from os x after succesfull boot20:05
aveilleuxbioterror: Ah, but they aren't successfully booting, are they?20:06
JackyAlcineLol, touché.20:06
bioterroraveilleux, I think we'll see20:06
bioterror8 minutes, I think he would have returned if in that time if the option -key has failed20:10
bioterrorminus first if20:11
bioterrordairpo, didnt work?20:13
dairpoit did, I'm back in OSX now. I wanted to jump back to say "Thanks"... so thanks for the help!20:13
bioterroryou're welcome20:13
JackyAlcinecheers dairpo20:13
bioterrordairpo, aveilleux thinks you have to "bless" your os x partition20:14
dairpoI'm going to go into the start up tool next and make sure that I have my Harddrive as #1 option, and write the "option" button thing on the CD for when I try to test again tomorrow (incase I forget). Cheers!20:14
aveilleuxdairpo: That blesses the drive too.20:15
bioterroraveilleux, so mine suggetion was faster than finding a OS X DVD somewhere20:15
bioterror+s20:15
dairpoYup. Alright, hopefully I've learned my lesson and won't be back here any time soon :) Have a good one and thanks again20:16
aveilleuxbioterror: If yours hadn't worked then mine would have been the alternative :P20:20
bioterror:--)20:21
acesofsky87i am new to linux can you guys suggest me some good IDE like visual studio for windows20:21
aveilleuxacesofsky87: Not many IDEs exist on Linux... Eclipse is the only one that comes to mind.20:22
acesofsky87is there any way if building gui with eclipse20:23
acesofsky87i have used it for development in java20:23
aveilleuxacesofsky87: There's only a few GUI builders around, I can't remember the names though20:23
aveilleuxacesofsky87: What language are you going to be programming in?20:23
acesofsky87C++20:23
aveilleuxacesofsky87: You'll really want to get used to programming with text then... Microsoft's Visual C++ uses the .NET environment to build the GUIs, which doesn't exist on Linux20:24
aveilleuxacesofsky87: I believe there's one called Glade... let me grab a link20:25
aveilleuxacesofsky87: http://glade.gnome.org/20:25
jimmycrossis there any reason that a module listed in /etc/modules and /etc/modules.conf would not load on boot (besides spelling error)20:25
jimmycross?20:25
aveilleuxjimmycross: Is it in /etc/modules/blacklist.conf?20:25
jimmycrosspretty sure it isn't20:26
jimmycrossmodified blacklist not to include20:26
jimmycrossdouble checking...20:26
acesofsky87thanx aveilleux am looking into it20:27
szczuracesofsky87, there's anjuta too > http://www.anjuta.org/features.html20:27
aveilleuxacesofsky87: You'll want to look into the Gtk+ bindings for C++ as well. http://www.gtkmm.org/en/20:27
jimmycross+aveilleux: the module is not blacklisted20:32
jimmycrossOne of the steps included in the installation did require me to create a directory in /etc called sysconfig20:39
aveilleuxjimmycross: What module did you install?20:40
jimmycrossralink rt3572sta.ko for the wusb600n v2 from cisco20:41
jimmycrossI've been on forums for days- following instructions to install20:41
jimmycrossit works, but I have to load the module each time20:41
aveilleuxjimmycross: A kludgy solution that comes up right away in my mind is to put the module load code into /etc/rc.local so it runs on boot20:43
aveilleuxjimmycross: That's not an ideal solution though20:43
jimmycrosskludgy20:43
jimmycrossexcuse my lack of knowledge, but would that code be the same 'insmod rtxxxxxxx.ko'20:44
jimmycrossthat I use anyway20:44
jimmycross?20:44
aveilleuxthat doesn't seem right...20:46
jimmycrossThe README tells me that if I want the driver to load on boot i need to edit a file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts20:47
jimmycrossI had to create those two directories, and the file20:47
jimmycrossit felt counter-intuitive, because if the directories weren't there to begin with, then nothing would be pointing to them in the first place20:48
aveilleuxjimmycross: Then the readme is incorrect20:57
jimmycross+aveilleux: ah.21:02
jimmycrossthen I suppose I shall continue searching21:03
aveilleuxjimmycross: Can you pastebin the readme?21:04
jimmycrosspastebin?21:04
jimmycrossnot paste the entire readme here, right?21:04
jimmycrosshere are those instructions21:05
jimmycrossIf you want for rt3572 driver to auto-load at boot time: A) choose ra0 for first RT3572/RT2870 WLAN card, ra1 for second RT3572/RT2870 WLAN card, etc.     B) create(edit) 'ifcfg-ra0' file in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/,          edit( or add the line) in /etc/modules.conf:        alias ra0 rt3572sta     C) edit(create) the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ra0      DEVICE='ra0'    ONBOOT='yes'21:05
jimmycrosslightbulb21:08
aveilleuxjimmycross: ......no, I meant use Pastebin. http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/21:08
jimmycrossjust discovered that I had created the file 'ifconfig-ra0' not 'ifcfg-ra0'21:09
jimmycrossbut I will learn pastebin now anyway21:09
jimmycrosshere you go: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/566452/21:11
jimmycrossIn the mean time, I'll follow the instructions correctly21:11
jimmycross(having possibly discovered the root of my problem21:12
jimmycrossI am going down for reboot to try it. If it doesn't work, It will be a whie before I return. Have you anything to say before I go?21:15
hajourjimmycross,  its better to put the name in line from the person most of us have more channels we are in :)21:17
hajourif the name is in line the channel name lights up jimmycross :)21:17
jimmycross+hajour: excuse me. That message was for +aveilleux21:18
hajourthat i thought already jimmycross  and you dont have to excuse for it.i said it to help you :)21:19
jimmycross+aveilleux: going down for reboot to see if I've solved my own problem. If not, it may be a while before I return. Have you anything to say before I go?21:19
jimmycross+hajour: thank you very much.21:20
hajouryour welcome jimmycross :)21:20
jimmycrossI will return21:22
Jaakhello21:26
jimmycross+aveilleux: renaming the file did nothing21:31
szczurjimmycross, load the module manually and do sudo /sbin/depmod -a21:49
szczurthen reboot the pc and tell me if it changed anything21:49
jimmycrossszczur: will do21:50
jimmycrossszczur: do I need to be in the directory of the module I want to map, or in / ?21:52
jimmycrossszczur: nevermind- done. logging out21:54
bioterrorElise001, did you uninstall those propietary graphics drivers?21:57
jimmycrossszczur: no dice- still have to load driver manually22:01
szczur:/22:02
jimmycrossszczur: should I have run that command from the directory containing the module? I did it from /22:10
