| Sir | Hello | 02:09 |
|---|---|---|
| JackyAlcine | Hey Sir. | 02:09 |
| Sir | Ok so I have a problem with connecting to my wireless access point, I have no idea what's wrong | 02:10 |
| Sir | I am on Ubuntu 10.10 btw. But currently on me other PC since I can't get on the internet via my Ubuntu PC | 02:11 |
| JackyAlcine | The Network Manager in GNOME should be handle to connect to your wireless connection; what kind of encryption does it use? | 02:12 |
| Sir | Uh it's currently open for easy access purposes | 02:15 |
| JackyAlcine | Does it show up in the list when you click on the icon in the notification area? | 02:16 |
| Sir | Yes it does. | 02:16 |
| JackyAlcine | And clicking on it doesn't permit connection? | 02:18 |
| JackyAlcine | What's broadcasting the network signal? | 02:18 |
| JackyAlcine | Like what device? | 02:18 |
| Sir | Well I click on it and then it just has the animation of the wireless symbol panning up and down and then I get and "!" and nothing. | 02:19 |
| Sir | It's a router, not 100% sure what kind since we switched like 4 times and this one is missing the case | 02:19 |
| JackyAlcine | Hm. And this router's connected to some sort of network? | 02:20 |
| Sir | Yup | 02:20 |
| Sir | Works with my XP laptop just fine | 02:20 |
| Sir | As I'm on it now | 02:20 |
| JackyAlcine | Well, I'm not too sure what could be causing the problem; sorry. | 02:22 |
| Sir | Ah. This is so frutrating | 02:22 |
| aveilleux | fahg | 02:27 |
| aveilleux | I apologize for that, my brother's friend enjoys stealing my keyboard. | 02:27 |

| ray_ | Hello all reading this. | 10:58 |
| * bioterror comes in peace | 10:58 | |
| ray_ | ha ha | 10:58 |
| ray_ | Hmm, so I have GMAMEUI installed on another hard drive and I wanted to take the list I have for favorites and locate where it is stored so I can put it on this computer, then I want to re-install Ubuntu on that computer, so that's why I want to be able to do that. | 11:00 |
| ray_ | I just grabbed where GMAMEUI is installed and I am going to try that. | 11:01 |
| ray_ | From the list of places GMAMEUI is said to be installed by Synaptic Package Manager that is | 11:02 |
| ray_ | Where should I go to ask this question? | 11:05 |
| bioterror | I have not seen any questions ;) | 11:06 |
| bioterror | just you wondering things by yourself :--) | 11:06 |
| ray_ | ha ha, ya. Sorry. | 11:07 |
| ray_ | In GMAMEUI which is for running MAME roms it has a neat feature for marking what roms are my favorite roms on a list. And I meant where is that list stored? | 11:08 |
| ray_ | Sorry, replace the and with so, English is not my strong point | 11:11 |
| bioterror | I havent played mame games for ages | 11:12 |
| bioterror | but I just yesterday ordered a new motherboard for my coming HTPC project and I was playing with idea of playing mame, nes, snes, amiga and c64 games with it then | 11:12 |
| ray_ | O, then I will be back with a link | 11:14 |
| bioterror | you can do dpkg -L gmameui | 11:14 |
| bioterror | maybe it tells something | 11:14 |
| ray_ | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1505819 | 11:15 |
| ray_ | There are other frontends though that can be used | 11:15 |
| ray_ | I have yet to test more out | 11:15 |
| ray_ | Nice command, I have to add that to my text files for future reference | 11:16 |
| ray_ | I wonder what these are, I am going to have to look: | 11:18 |
| ray_ | "/usr/share/locale/en_AU/LC_MESSAGES" "/usr/share/locale/en_AU/LC_MESSAGES/gmameui.mo" | 11:19 |
| ray_ | Oops, I forgot to put quotes. | 11:19 |
| ray_ | Well those didn't help me. | 11:22 |
| ray_ | I just don't know the answer to this. Maybe I should look at GMAMEUI itself now. Maybe it has a feature for exporting and it doesn't then I think it should | 11:23 |
| ray_ | Sorry, I keep not typing all the words I am thinking. | 11:26 |
| ray_ | It doesn't have an exporting feature for importing and exporting favorites | 11:31 |
| ray_ | O well. | 11:31 |
| bioterror | maybe | 11:32 |
| bioterror | something | 11:32 |
| bioterror | inside your | 11:32 |
| bioterror | ~/ | 11:32 |
| bioterror | starting with . | 11:32 |
| bioterror | :D | 11:32 |
| ray_ | OK, OK, I got a question that may help. I've always wanted to know this | 11:32 |
| bioterror | just popped in my mind | 11:32 |
| ray_ | How can I search all text files on a filesystem for a certain word that is within it and also in the title? | 11:33 |
| bioterror | that's called indexed search | 11:33 |
| ray_ | Right, under home. I looked but that doesn't mean I didn't miss something | 11:33 |
| ray_ | I looked under ".config", ".cache" and some other places. I should look some more | 11:34 |
| ray_ | So how do index search? | 11:38 |
| bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Tracker | 11:38 |
| ray_ | I meant how do I do an index search?, that sounds more like proper English I would guess. | 11:39 |
| bioterror | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Beagle | 11:39 |
| ray_ | I am looking | 11:39 |
| ray_ | I will try Beagle, I am installing through Ubuntu Software Center right now. | 11:41 |
| ray_ | Mean while I am looking for the file | 11:42 |
| duanedesign | ray_: you could use this command to search the home directory for searchTerm grep -i -R -l searchWord home/USERNAME/* | 11:46 |
| ray_ | OK | 11:46 |
| duanedesign | ray_: of course replace USERNAME and searchWord :) | 11:46 |
| ray_ | With the "*"? | 11:47 |
| duanedesign | yep | 11:47 |
| duanedesign | that will search all files in that direcotry | 11:47 |
| duanedesign | if you wanted to search a single file you would replace the * with the file name | 11:47 |
| ray_ | I may have already found it before you posted that command, but still I love learning | 11:48 |
| ray_ | right | 11:48 |
| ray_ | I will try it anyways | 11:48 |
| duanedesign | oops | 11:48 |
| duanedesign | that is rep -i -R -l import /home/duanedesign/* | 11:49 |
| duanedesign | that is grep -i -R -l import /home/duanedesign/* | 11:49 |
| duanedesign | with a / infront of home | 11:49 |
| ray_ | uh, import? | 11:50 |
| ray_ | Right forward slash before home | 11:50 |
| ray_ | but import? | 11:51 |
| ray_ | Here's the command I will try soon: | 11:52 |
| ray_ | "grep -i -R -l asura /home/ray/*" | 11:52 |
| ray_ | I will also try Beagle as well | 11:52 |
| ray_ | I was right I found where it was: | 11:53 |
| ray_ | "/media/7491d9ea-43fe-481d-8a1b-131d163891e7/home/ray/.config/gmameui/games.ini" | 11:53 |
| ray_ | I didn't try the commands you suggested though | 11:53 |
| ray_ | I am going to right now | 11:54 |
| ray_ | But first I want to look at something to make sure it will be there. | 11:54 |
| ray_ | If this is case sensitive then it should all be in lower case like I have it. | 11:55 |
| ray_ | I just entered it | 11:56 |
| ray_ | This may take a while, so instead I will try a different command | 11:58 |
| ray_ | Nice, I am loving that command | 12:00 |
| ray_ | Now I will try Beagle | 12:00 |
| duanedesign | ray_: you have it right | 12:04 |
| ray_ | It didn't seem to find it, so I am trying something called Trackers Search Tool which might be the same thing linked earlier but I am unsure | 12:05 |
| ray_ | Thank you for the help | 12:06 |
| ray_ | Both of you | 12:06 |
| duanedesign | your welcome | 12:06 |
| duanedesign | bioterror: did most the work. I just jumped in at the end to steal his thinder :) | 12:06 |
| duanedesign | thunder* | 12:07 |
| * duanedesign should stay away from using local sayings that might not translate to an international audience | 12:07 | |
| duanedesign | ray_: i have an application called CLI Companion that lets you store commands in your terminal | 12:08 |
| duanedesign | or you can use a tomboy note. | 12:08 |
| duanedesign | nice for storing commands like that grep command that you might not use enough to have memorized | 12:08 |
| ray_ | OK, but I like have text files. The first one you mentioned would be cool | 12:09 |
| ray_ | I might try tomboy for kick though | 12:10 |
| ray_ | I meant kicks | 12:10 |
| duanedesign | https://launchpad.net/clicompanion <--FWIW | 12:10 |
| ray_ | I replaced the file that had my favorites on it, and it works. | 12:11 |
| ray_ | I am trying to load the link | 12:12 |
| ray_ | It still hasn't loaded the webpage. | 12:15 |
| duanedesign | the launchpad link? | 12:17 |
| ray_ | Yep | 12:17 |
| ray_ | I'll start it over | 12:18 |
| ray_ | hello | 12:44 |
| cprofitt | hello ray | 12:50 |
| ray_ | My Internet disconnected | 12:59 |
| ray_ | I am trying the launchpad link for CLI Companaion | 13:00 |
| ray_ | Which loaded | 13:01 |
| ray_ | To install the deb: "dpkg -i clicompanion_1.0-3.1_all.deb" | 13:02 |
| ray_ | Is that all then? | 13:02 |
| ray_ | OK, I switch to my nick then | 13:02 |
| === ray_ is now known as r4y | ||
| r4y | OK, do you feel better IRC channel, now that I am identified?, LOL | 13:04 |
| r4y | Neat so duanedesign took part in CLI Companion then. | 13:06 |
| r4y | OK, never mind | 13:07 |
| r4y | duh | 13:08 |
| duanedesign | :) | 13:08 |
| duanedesign | r4y: did you get cli companion to run? | 13:09 |
| r4y | I am still in the process | 13:09 |
| cprofitt | sorry got called away r4y | 13:09 |
| cprofitt | thanks for picking up the convo duanedesign | 13:09 |
| r4y | Wow, nice and simple | 13:14 |
| r4y | I am going to start gathering, but there are some commands in there I will have to look into | 13:15 |
| r4y | Does anyone here know a or the command for clearing out dns? | 13:15 |
| r4y | I was looking into how to fix the internet connection like Windows XP has, of coarse it's not really fixing the internet connection but I wouldn't know the words for it | 13:16 |
| r4y | I remember reading someone say it's not fixing but something else | 13:17 |
| r4y | Any commands for troubleshooting an Internet connection? | 13:18 |
| r4y | I should buy into better antannas on both ends. | 13:19 |
| r4y | A bigger antanna for each computer and 2 antannas for my Linksys router | 13:19 |
| r4y | Anyhow, I thought I found a command for clearing out a DNS cache | 13:20 |
| zid | Linux over radio? :) | 13:20 |
| zid | Citizens Band ? | 13:21 |
| r4y | Linux over radio? | 13:21 |
| r4y | Can you add more detail? | 13:21 |
| r4y | Sorry, I have a hard time trying to ask questions and understand people a lot. | 13:22 |
| r4y | Are you asking how to listen to a local radio station? | 13:23 |
| r4y | From Linux? | 13:23 |
| duanedesign | r4y: ifconfig | 13:25 |
| r4y | What a minute, is this the command: | 13:25 |
| r4y | sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 13:25 |
| duanedesign | that will restart your network | 13:26 |
| duanedesign | nm-tool | 13:26 |
| duanedesign | that is a good command for troubleshooting network | 13:26 |
| r4y | Right, thought I read somewhere that it also clear out a DNS cache | 13:26 |
| r4y | hold up, I will do the 2 commands you just said | 13:27 |
| r4y | I remember the ifconfig command it's kind of like ipconfig for Windows but has more detail | 13:28 |
| r4y | I can't help but wonder | 13:28 |
| r4y | What the name of that Internet connection program in Ubuntu | 13:29 |
| r4y | ? | 13:29 |
| r4y | What the, LOL | 13:29 |
| duanedesign | network manager ? | 13:31 |
| r4y | Anyways it has a fields that can be filled in with a mac address and BSSIS. BSSID being the networks MAC I am guessing. | 13:31 |
| r4y | Does filling those in help at all? | 13:31 |
| r4y | I have it set to DHCP | 13:31 |
| r4y | I have never used a static IP address setup | 13:32 |
| duanedesign | Automatic(DHCP) | 13:32 |
| r4y | yep | 13:32 |
| r4y | I have wpa personal security up and running | 13:32 |
| duanedesign | yeah, the only thing i fill in is the DNS servers. But that is optional | 13:33 |
| duanedesign | there is an application, namebench, that will test several DNS servers and tell you which are the fastest for your connection | 13:33 |
| duanedesign | though for most the speed difference is not much | 13:34 |
| r4y | I found that when my Internet disappears but I now is there, I have to click it and go to Connect to hidden wireless networks and click the drop down box and choose my SSID name | 13:34 |
| r4y | I am reading what you wrote | 13:35 |
| r4y | OK, so all people are using DNS servers? | 13:37 |
| r4y | You must be laughing, lol | 13:37 |
| r4y | I am new to most of this | 13:37 |
| duanedesign | no not at all. | 13:38 |
| duanedesign | we are here because we like to help | 13:38 |
| r4y | O, I miss understood you. | 13:39 |
| duanedesign | r4y: you can use your ISPs DNS server or a third party like Google or | 13:39 |
| duanedesign | OPen DNS, i think it is | 13:39 |
| r4y | What about when using Deluge? and so forth | 13:40 |
| MrChrisDruif | r4y: In regards to OpenDNS use with Deluge? | 13:40 |
| r4y | No, I mean, uh, I don't get this completely | 13:41 |
| r4y | I would be using Google's DNS now or using when using Google?, or only when using Google?, or? | 13:41 |
| MrChrisDruif | I didn't get the complete q&a r4y :) | 13:42 |
| r4y | Am I using my ISPs DNS when? | 13:42 |
| duanedesign | most likely | 13:42 |
| r4y | I don't care, I am just wondering | 13:43 |
| r4y | So, I can be using more then one DNS server in one window for one purpose? | 13:43 |
| MrChrisDruif | Hold your horses r4y, what is your precise question? | 13:44 |
| r4y | If we go to a webpage or what ever then we might be using more then one DNS server? | 13:45 |
| r4y | There are so many possible questions for what I am asking | 13:47 |
| MrChrisDruif | You only use 1 DNS server at a time... | 13:48 |
| MrChrisDruif | You can set preferred DNS servers, like the OpenDNS servers.... | 13:49 |
| r4y | So then we a getting transfered from one DNS server to another? | 13:49 |
| r4y | OK | 13:49 |
| r4y | I think I sort of get it | 13:50 |
| MrChrisDruif | If a DNS server doesn't know what IP adres a certain name has, he'll ask one of his buddies | 13:50 |
| r4y | I just don't think I would completely get this without it being on paper, but you have helped me understand it better | 13:51 |
| MrChrisDruif | Alright :) | 13:51 |
| r4y | I think I understand that last comment. It took me a second | 13:52 |
| r4y | buddies being servers then, right? | 13:52 |
| MrChrisDruif | Yeah, they ain't gonna ask some human :) | 13:53 |
| r4y | he he he, yep | 13:53 |
| MrChrisDruif | This might also help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_Name_System | 13:53 |
| r4y | I am going to put this info into a text file | 13:55 |
| r4y | Hay, someone named zid asked about Radio? | 13:56 |
| r4y | He asked: Linux over radio? :) Citizens Band ? | 13:57 |
| r4y | OK, so namebench and OpenDNS | 14:00 |
| r4y | Thank you guys. You have opened a new door to me. | 14:04 |
| MrChrisDruif | Namebench? | 14:06 |
| r4y | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/increase-your-internet-speed-with-namebench.html | 14:07 |
| r4y | I wonder if there is a Firefox add-on for finding the fastest DNS server. I will go look | 14:09 |
| r4y | There's this also: | 14:10 |
| r4y | http://www.getdeb.net/software/namebench | 14:10 |
| MrChrisDruif | Ahh...namebench is like opendns | 14:13 |
| r4y | I found this:https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/speed-dns/?src=api | 14:14 |
| r4y | https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/speed-dns/?src=api | 14:14 |
| r4y | I also found this but I am not sure what it does: | 14:16 |
| r4y | https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dns-flusher/?src=api | 14:16 |
| MrChrisDruif | r4y: I'm no FF user...and you don't need to spam unless you want some thoughts about the addons you share here :) | 14:17 |
| r4y | What ever is cool. Thank you guys for the help. I will go and try things out. | 14:18 |
| r4y | Thank you | 14:18 |
| szczur | hi Jomik | 17:04 |
| Jomik | Heya mate :D | 17:04 |
| Jomik | I think I'll put that script in my if-down.d, the one you sent me, that'd probably work, wouldn't it? And tyvm btw! | 17:05 |
| szczur | Joeb454, just put it in autostart | 17:05 |
| Jomik | Got a question though - how would I print some text from a bash script to my screen, if it's run with the run-parts method. As a mean of debugging XD | 17:06 |
| Jomik | Actually, I just located the problem I have szczur XD I think that it's because it's running the scripts as root, and teamviewer can't be started if the user is root (userid = 0)... How do I make it run the script as non-root? | 17:08 |
| Jomik | chown changes owner right? | 17:11 |
| szczur | Jomik, yes | 17:12 |
| Jomik | Ty | 17:12 |
| stlsaint | yep | 17:12 |
| Jomik | Duh, I could've just checked lol | 17:12 |
| szczur | but scripts in if-down.d and if-up.d | 17:12 |
| szczur | are run with root proviledges\ | 17:12 |
| Jomik | can't I change that? | 17:12 |
| szczur | priviledges* | 17:12 |
| szczur | at least i think so | 17:12 |
| Jomik | I need it to be run as "jomik" | 17:13 |
| szczur | you can put this script in autostart with gnome-session-properties | 17:13 |
| szczur | and it will run as jomik | 17:13 |
| Jomik | Yeah, but I need it to run everytime we gain connection | 17:13 |
| Jomik | not just on startup | 17:13 |
| szczur | ahhh | 17:13 |
| szczur | hmmm | 17:13 |
| Jomik | Oh | 17:14 |
| Jomik | Can't I make the "if-up.d/connect" script run some other script with jomik privileges? | 17:14 |
| szczur | Jomik, you xcan try this | 17:15 |
| szczur | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/run-a-script-as-a-different-user-112795/ | 17:15 |
| szczur | create a script that runs my script as jomik | 17:16 |
| Jomik | su - jomik ? | 17:16 |
| Jomik | but it needs to enter a password then, doesn't it? | 17:17 |
| szczur | dunno | 17:18 |
| Jomik | Testing XD | 17:18 |
| Jomik | Doesn't seem to work... | 17:18 |
| Jomik | Can you tell me how I make it write out debug info? | 17:19 |
| Jomik | echo "something" doesn't cooperate XD | 17:19 |
| Jomik | since there's no terminal I guess | 17:19 |
| szczur | hmm, you can try creating a log file | 17:21 |
| Jomik | <- bash noob XD | 17:22 |
| Jomik | something like echo "something" > file? | 17:22 |
| szczur | echo "something" > /tmp/connect.log | 17:22 |
| szczur | don't know if it would work :) | 17:22 |
| Jomik | Kay | 17:22 |
| Jomik | Gonna try XD | 17:22 |
| szczur | lemme find something | 17:22 |
| szczur | 5 sec | 17:22 |
| Jomik | Okay :) | 17:23 |
| Jomik | My script is being run, but it just fails at running it with the right permissions | 17:25 |
| szczur | and you'r script just runs connection script as a jomik, right? | 17:30 |
| geirha | Jomik: What should the script do? And can you pastebin it? | 17:30 |
| Jomik | szczur, it runs as root, and I need it to run as jomik. it runs from if-up.d | 17:30 |
| Jomik | geirha, it should just execute "teamviewer". And teamviewer can't be run as root. | 17:31 |
| geirha | Jomik: Ah, well there's several problems with that. | 17:31 |
| Jomik | Ohh? | 17:32 |
| geirha | or ... teamviewer is a GUI program, right? | 17:32 |
| Jomik | yeah | 17:32 |
| Jomik | But there's no problem if I run it from the terminal normally | 17:32 |
| geirha | Yes, so it needs to know what display to use, and that's hard. | 17:33 |
| Jomik | I'm on ubuntu 10.10 | 17:33 |
| Jomik | Huh? | 17:33 |
| Jomik | There's a teamviewer script included | 17:33 |
| Jomik | and when I write teamviewer in the terminal | 17:33 |
| Jomik | it executes /usr/bin/teamviewer | 17:33 |
| geirha | If you are the only user, then the display number will typically be 0, so you might get away with assuming 0. | 17:33 |
| Jomik | which runs TeamViewer.exe through wine | 17:33 |
| holstein | teamviewer is nice :) | 17:34 |
| Jomik | It checks if the usrid = 0, if it is, then it wont run teamviewer, otherwise it runs it | 17:34 |
| Jomik | 0 = root | 17:34 |
| geirha | Jomik: in your terminal emulator, the DISPLAY environment variable is set. (echo "$DISPLAY") | 17:34 |
| geirha | It won't be set for the process that runs the ifup/ifdown scripts. | 17:35 |
| Jomik | Ohh? | 17:35 |
| Jomik | my echo $DISPLAY shows :0.0 | 17:35 |
| szczur | hmmm, gerisha is right | 17:35 |
| szczur | Add "DISPLAY=:0.0" line before the teamviewer line | 17:35 |
| Jomik | and why wouldn't it be set for the if-up.d and if-down.d? | 17:35 |
| Jomik | Oh? | 17:35 |
| Jomik | But it'll still be run as root? | 17:36 |
| Jomik | My userid is 1000 btw, I just checked it with id -u | 17:36 |
| geirha | sudo -u myusername env DISPLAY=:0 teamviewer | 17:36 |
| geirha | Might work, but only if you are logged in graphically of course. | 17:36 |
| Jomik | I am logged in graphically :D | 17:37 |
| Jomik | what does sudo -u do? | 17:37 |
| geirha | A saner option would be to run a startup script that queries network manager about the state of the network connection, then starts teamviewer. | 17:37 |
| geirha | *gnome startup script | 17:37 |
| Jomik | Yeah, but I need it to start teamviewer every time we have a connection | 17:37 |
| Jomik | Not just once | 17:37 |
| geirha | sudo -u username foo runs foo as user username | 17:37 |
| Jomik | I'm killing the teamviewer processes at if-down.d | 17:38 |
| geirha | Jomik: Well, then you keep your script continuasly polling network manager, and start and stop as necessary. | 17:38 |
| Jomik | And that wont really create lag? | 17:39 |
| geirha | Well, you'd poll once every X seconds, not every millisecond | 17:40 |
| Jomik | and then I check if teamviewer is running and if we're connected, if we're connected and running, do nothing, else.. etc? | 17:40 |
| geirha | Might be network manager has a way to run commands on certain events already. I haven't checked. | 17:41 |
| Jomik | it has | 17:41 |
| Jomik | in the if-up.d and if-down.d folders | 17:41 |
| Jomik | but they're run as root | 17:41 |
| Jomik | which is my problem | 17:42 |
| Jomik | I need the teamviewer to be run as a normal user / as user id 1000 | 17:42 |
| geirha | Those are probably run by the daemon though, which has no knowledge of whether you're logged in or not ... etc. which is why you'd have to set DISPLAY | 17:42 |
| geirha | Jomik: sudo -u yourusername env DISPLAY=:0 teamviewer | 17:43 |
| Jomik | I tried that | 17:43 |
| Jomik | in the if-up.d | 17:43 |
| Jomik | didn't work | 17:43 |
| geirha | What's the error message? | 17:43 |
| Jomik | nothing | 17:43 |
| Jomik | nothing happens :D | 17:43 |
| geirha | Jomik: sudo -u yourusername env DISPLAY=:0 teamviewer > /tmp/output 2>&1 | 17:43 |
| geirha | Then see what /tmp/output contains afterwards | 17:43 |
| Jomik | The teamviewer script will do echo TeamViewer must not be executed as root! | 17:44 |
| Jomik | but there's no terminal for it to echo into XD | 17:44 |
| geirha | correct, the script will not be run in a terminal if it's invoked by the network manager daemon | 17:44 |
| Jomik | so, I make a script with that line? | 17:45 |
| geirha | Try with the above, which will redirect all output, inlucding errors, to the file /tmp/output | 17:45 |
| Jomik | K | 17:46 |
| Jomik | Trying | 17:46 |
| Jomik | Ooo | 17:46 |
| Jomik | it's trying to access some /root/.teamviewer dirs, but it gets permission denied | 17:46 |
| geirha | Ah, add -H to sudo | 17:46 |
| Jomik | it's also trying to do mkdir /root | 17:47 |
| Jomik | what does that do? XD | 17:47 |
| geirha | Jomik: sudo -H -u yourusername env DISPLAY=:0 teamviewer > /tmp/output 2>&1 | 17:47 |
| Jomik | kk | 17:47 |
| geirha | From the man-page: -H The -H (HOME) option sets the HOME environment variable to the homedir of the target user (root by default) as specified in passwd(5). By default, sudo does not modify HOME (see set_home and always_set_home in sudoers(5)). | 17:47 |
| Jomik | Ahhh | 17:47 |
| Jomik | So -H would set it to jomik | 17:48 |
| Jomik | well | 17:48 |
| Jomik | yourusername* | 17:48 |
| Jomik | holy | 17:48 |
| Jomik | that worked | 17:48 |
| geirha | to /home/jomik ... whatever the homedir is set to in /etc/passwd | 17:48 |
| Jomik | I can remove everything behind the > right? | 17:49 |
| geirha | including removing the >, yes. | 17:49 |
| Jomik | Ty | 17:49 |
| geirha | If the program outputs anything though, it'll probably end up in some logfile | 17:49 |
| Jomik | Trying them then | 17:49 |
| Jomik | Maybe XD | 17:50 |
| Jomik | Woooh | 17:50 |
| geirha | in /var/log/daemon.log probably | 17:50 |
| Jomik | Hmmm | 17:51 |
| Jomik | Why doesn't killall -9 TeamViewer.exe in the if-down.d work now -.- | 17:51 |
| Jomik | lol | 17:51 |
| geirha | Oh dear, don't do kill -9 | 17:51 |
| Jomik | Oh? | 17:52 |
| Jomik | What then? | 17:52 |
| Jomik | XD | 17:52 |
| Jomik | I need to kill all processes named TeamViewer.exe | 17:52 |
| Jomik | without the -9? | 17:53 |
| geirha | No, you want to kill a specific process, and that's not possibly to do 100% coorectly with this approach. | 17:53 |
| Jomik | Why a specific? I just need all teamviewer processes destroyed? :D | 17:53 |
| geirha | That may get you in trouble later | 17:53 |
| Jomik | Why? :o | 17:53 |
| geirha | killall TeamViewer.exe will not kill teamviewer processes, it will kill all processes that has TeamViewer.exe in its name. | 17:54 |
| Jomik | Yeah | 17:55 |
| Jomik | And that's what the teamviewer process has | 17:55 |
| Jomik | teamviewer starts TeamViewer.exe | 17:55 |
| geirha | But anyway, as long as you are the only user on the system, I suppose you don't mind if you accidentally kill a different process | 17:56 |
| Jomik | Nah | 17:56 |
| geirha | While it is running, does: pgrep -l TeamViewer.exe output anything? | 17:56 |
| Jomik | probably not | 17:56 |
| Jomik | sec | 17:57 |
| Jomik | 4958 TeamViewer.exe | 17:57 |
| Jomik | Which is the process I started, I guess? :D | 17:57 |
| geirha | Then: pkill '^TeamViewer\.exe$' should kill it. | 17:58 |
| ddecator | you can also kill a specific process using top | 17:59 |
| geirha | ddecator: in a script? | 17:59 |
| ddecator | in a script? this is to kill a script that is running? | 17:59 |
| geirha | No, this is to kill a process from a script | 18:01 |
| ddecator | oh. not sure why you need to do that, but no, i don't think top can be used in a script to kill a process | 18:01 |
| Jomik | gonna try that | 18:02 |
| ddecator | just read the backlog and i have no idea what you're trying to do, haha, so i'll leave you two to figure things out | 18:03 |
| Jomik | pkill isn't recognized by bash? | 18:03 |
| geirha | It's an external command | 18:04 |
| Jomik | worked | 18:04 |
| Jomik | tyvm man! | 18:04 |
| Jomik | Owe you losts | 18:04 |
| Jomik | lots | 18:04 |
| Jomik | geirha, do you know how I'd be able to reboot it over teamviewer and be able to log on again after? I mean, I can just reboot it like always, with sudo reboot or through the GUI. But then it's stuck at the login screen | 18:05 |
| geirha | Jomik: System -> Administration -> Login screen (or something like that) | 18:06 |
| Jomik | Yeah, then I can disable it, but I have to write in a keyring when it starts up? | 18:07 |
| Jomik | before it can connect to the itnernet, I think | 18:07 |
| Jomik | internet* | 18:07 |
| geirha | Ah, not sure how to get around that. Other than putting the password for the internet in a keyring without a password. | 18:08 |
| Jomik | Oh, how can I do that? | 18:08 |
| geirha | (which means the password for the internet would be stored in plain text in your homedir) | 18:09 |
| Jomik | I don't mind having it do that XD | 18:09 |
| Jomik | How would I do that then? XD | 18:09 |
| Jomik | Wireless WPA btw | 18:10 |
| geirha | I don't remember off hand. You'd do it in seahorse. System -> Preferences -> Passwords and encryption keys (or something like that) | 18:10 |
| Jomik | Right on | 18:10 |
| szczur | Jomik, rightclick on your network manager | 18:11 |
| szczur | select ed8it connectionss, select your connection, click edit | 18:11 |
| Jomik | I got 2 things for both of my thingys :o | 18:11 |
| szczur | and tick "Available to all users" | 18:11 |
| Jomik | Oh! | 18:11 |
| Jomik | ty XD | 18:11 |
| Jomik | Why do I have 2 encrypted passwords for my wlan? | 18:11 |
| Jomik | Exactly the same | 18:12 |
| Jomik | except for Key id 1 and 2 | 18:12 |
| Jomik | lol | 18:12 |
| Jomik | w/e XD | 18:12 |
| Jomik | Tyvm :D | 18:14 |
| Jomik | I gotta run | 18:14 |
| Jomik | You guys rock XD | 18:14 |

| maheanuu | IaOra everyone, I am a newbie and the more I know the loster I get | 20:31 |
| maheanuu | I have about a half dozen probs with Ubuntu 10.10 at present and really need some TLC if possible | 20:32 |
| aveilleux | !ask | maheanuu | 20:33 |
| maheanuu | I am using a Toshiba notebook 64 bit system and my 10.10 is 64 bit... I have a very low audio output and cannot seem to raise it at all All the GUI's are maxed out on the vol controls | 20:33 |
| ubot2 | maheanuu: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) | 20:33 |
| maheanuu | Thanks, I don't know the protocol as of yet | 20:34 |
| bioterror | maheanuu, open terminal and say "lspci |grep Audio" without "" | 20:35 |
| maheanuu | bioterror, do I add the quotes, I tried a cut and paste without the first set of quotes but no joy | 20:39 |
| bioterror | without "" | 20:40 |
| maheanuu | I am pretty sure the first ones were only a quote from you | 20:40 |
| maheanuu | That is without all? | 20:40 |
| maheanuu | I am getting No Such File or Directory | 20:42 |
| maheanuu | I didn't include the "without" and here's what I got "00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) 02:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc RV620 Audio device [Radeon HD 34xx Series]" | 20:49 |
| maheanuu | Is that the information you wanted? | 20:50 |
| maheanuu | bioterror, is that the information you wanted???? | 20:55 |
| bioterror | maheanuu, seems so | 20:55 |
| iiname | hi | 20:55 |
| aveilleux | maheanuu: Try running the command: alsamixer | 20:55 |
| aveilleux | maheanuu: See if the PCM is really low; it should be around 77 | 20:55 |
| bioterror | front could be low | 20:55 |
| maheanuu | OK, brb | 20:55 |
| aveilleux | hello iiname | 20:56 |
| iiname | i have 10.04 installed and updated in a touch tablet, how do I make touch work please? Should I install mutlitouch or do i follow instructions from http://www.touchswipe.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=700&sid=5700d74cf62babf6a17170cbd861a82d | 20:57 |
| iiname | aveilleux, | 20:57 |
| iiname | aveilleux, hello | 20:57 |
| maheanuu | aveilleux, it is maxed out at 100 | 20:58 |
| bioterror | maheanuu, how about front? | 20:58 |
| seidos | iiname: i don't know. never set up a touch tablet. | 20:58 |
| bioterror | we are so poor, we dont have that kind of gadgets ;) | 20:59 |
| maheanuu | Front MI is 60 | 20:59 |
| iiname | seidos, but you must be technically sound, can you please take a look at http://www.touchswipe.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=700&sid=5700d74cf62babf6a17170cbd861a82d and guess if it would make sense for any tablet ? | 20:59 |
| bioterror | maheanuu, you dont have just plain "Front"? | 20:59 |
| maheanuu | NO | 21:00 |
| bioterror | okay | 21:00 |
| seidos | iiname: i'll take a look | 21:00 |
| iiname | seidos, thanks, will wait | 21:00 |
| maheanuu | I have Front MI twice and the right side one is nothing | 21:00 |
| aveilleux | iiname: That board requires registration :/ | 21:00 |
| seidos | iiname: the link you pasted requires a username and password. the implication here is, i won't register on some strange site for you. paste what you want me to read in a pastebin. | 21:01 |
| iiname | sei | 21:01 |
| iiname | seidos, use omname pass: Z0abcdef | 21:01 |
| iiname | seidos, will do a paste as well | 21:02 |
| bioterror | maheanuu, and master is maxed out too? | 21:02 |
| iiname | seidos, http://paste.ubuntu.com/571364/ | 21:03 |
| maheanuu | No the master is at 70 and I can't seem to raise it | 21:03 |
| bioterror | maheanuu, can you lower it? | 21:03 |
| seidos | iiname: okay, read it. did you try it? | 21:04 |
| bioterror | maheanuu, what's the "Chip: something" in your alsamixer on the top left corner | 21:05 |
| iiname | seidos, should I? Did you log in and read the thread or just saw the top post pasted on the bin? | 21:05 |
| maheanuu | RealTek ALC272 | 21:05 |
| seidos | iiname: i read the site. i personally didn't like it. | 21:06 |
| iiname | seidos, what are the other conventional options? | 21:07 |
| seidos | iiname: as for the command you pasted, i don't know. never heard of linuxfans | 21:07 |
| iiname | seidos, it is a touch tablet from fic called tycoon | 21:07 |
| seidos | iiname: like i said, i don't know. i never tried getting the hardware you're using to work. your best bet is the ubuntu forums. you gotta' find other users of your hardware. or check in #linux for anyone that is familiar with the device. | 21:07 |
| iiname | seidos, this forum thread includes three or four posts of junk, so you are right about your fears | 21:08 |
| iiname | seidos, I don't think anyone would have tried this computer, my best bet is to see if it works by installing what is now part of 10.10 | 21:09 |
| seidos | iiname: yeah, i noticed :| | 21:09 |
| seidos | iiname: ah, it's a touch screen interface on a computer? i thought it was a tablet or something. | 21:09 |
| maheanuu | I am loving Ubuntu, but finding it a little difficult as I am the only user on my island and those on Tahiti are over 150 miles away and they only speak French so I do have a prob communicationg techwise | 21:09 |
| iiname | seidos, i installed 10.10 while installing - during the installation process it worked, but not afterwards, 10.10 had problems, so I got back to 10.04 now | 21:10 |
| iiname | seidos, it is a tablet | 21:10 |
| seidos | maheanuu: i can't feel sorry for you. you live on an island. joke! | 21:10 |
| seidos | iiname: ah, a tablet. i had a friend that bought a previously owned tablet | 21:11 |
| seidos | let me see if he's online | 21:11 |
| bioterror | maheanuu, googling about your chipset | 21:11 |
| iiname | seidos, http://www.fic.com.tw/product/tvb00.aspx | 21:11 |
| maheanuu | I know, I live only 17 miles from Bora Bora and I see it out my back window off in the distance... But as far as Linux goes I am in a desert | 21:11 |
| seidos | iiname: he's not online :( | 21:11 |
| seidos | maheanuu: well, if you get too lonely, just go outside and enjoy the beautiful tropical weather. it's cool and dry here today. | 21:12 |
| maheanuu | I would much rather have this machine working.... i am an OLD retired usn Chief, and retired in Polynesia... great place to live but we suffer for information... I study constantly | 21:13 |
| seidos | iiname: it looks spiffy. does everything else work on it? can you use it with ubuntu w/ a keyboard and mouse? | 21:14 |
| seidos | maheanuu: ah, so you want your audio level to be higher so you can watch youtube or something | 21:15 |
| seidos | or the daily show | 21:15 |
| seidos | :P | 21:15 |
| maheanuu | I am having other probs at the same time, I cant do upgrades as it keeps telling me that the files I need are unauthorized and I am caught in a round robin that will not let me upgrade anything | 21:15 |
| maheanuu | No I use it for Skype and my audio edits | 21:15 |
| seidos | maheanuu: did you say 10.10? | 21:15 |
| maheanuu | Yes | 21:15 |
| seidos | ah, Skype. not sure about audio editing. | 21:15 |
| maheanuu | I am an old Univac Field engineer so I can follow directions | 21:16 |
| seidos | maheanuu: did you try 10.10 because 10.04 wasn't working? | 21:16 |
| seidos | maheanuu: i am not a developer, it may be an issue with the driver. :| | 21:16 |
| maheanuu | I just like to be able to hear people and things at present I run the audio thru a Ghetto Blaster | 21:16 |
| maheanuu | No I upgraded about 6 months ago and have loved it | 21:17 |
| seidos | did you have the problem in 10.04? | 21:17 |
| bioterror | aveilleux, are you familiar with pulseaudio? | 21:17 |
| bioterror | aveilleux, as I'm a lubunteer, I'm familiar only with alsa | 21:17 |
| maheanuu | I didn't have any problems till I tried to upgrade and the sound went south along with a lot of other things and now I am having this round robin prob that is straight out of Hades | 21:18 |
| seidos | maheanuu: if you didn't have a problem in 10.04 it maybe a bug in 10.10. which may take time to get fixed (perhaps even the next release). if you can't wait, you should install 10.04 again. | 21:19 |
| bioterror | seidos, you're not really helping with this | 21:19 |
| seidos | bioterror: go on | 21:20 |
| maheanuu | Man, you asking that I dump all these files I have accumulated and reinstall 10.04? | 21:20 |
| bioterror | maheanuu, exactly :D | 21:20 |
| seidos | maheanuu: no, i didn't say to "dump your files" | 21:20 |
| seidos | bioterror: an installation always means erasing one's data? | 21:21 |
| maheanuu | I am a Photographer (or I think I am) and I have almost a TB of photos and music on this machine | 21:21 |
| iiname | seidos, what should I do? | 21:22 |
| seidos | iiname: can you get it working with keyboard and mouse? | 21:22 |
| seidos | maheanuu: if they are in /home/$USER they shouldn't get affected during install. | 21:23 |
| bioterror | maheanuu, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+question/119052 this is not much help, I think :D | 21:23 |
| iiname | seidos, I am on that tablet, just installed updated, mobile brandband connected with wvdial it works wonderfully | 21:23 |
| seidos | iiname: so it works great, except for the touchpad? | 21:23 |
| iiname | seidos, kboard and mouse are external | 21:23 |
| maheanuu | going there now | 21:23 |
| iiname | seidos, yes | 21:23 |
| iiname | seidos, i have not tested audio | 21:24 |
| seidos | iiname: i don't know. try to find a driver for the touchpad, and try to load it. | 21:24 |
| iiname | seidos, wimax is not tested either | 21:24 |
| iiname | seidos, but i am now on 10.04 touch does not work by default | 21:24 |
| seidos | iiname: yeah, i read. 2x usb ports | 21:25 |
| iiname | seidos, i think 10.04 does not have the packages so I need to install the packages to find if it works | 21:25 |
| seidos | iiname: i am not sure if there is a kernel module that needs to be loaded. | 21:25 |
| maheanuu | Ok, I have tried that about 20 times and it tells me it is looking for the Sound but never finds it | 21:25 |
| bioterror | maheanuu, what? | 21:26 |
| maheanuu | here's the ans I get "Waiting for sound system to respond" | 21:26 |
| bioterror | maheanuu, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1495061 | 21:27 |
| seidos | iiname: i don't know. maybe netbook remix enables the touchscreen? | 21:27 |
| maheanuu | That is what I get and I sit there and nothing and I mean NOTHING happens for hours | 21:27 |
| iiname | seidos, http://mt-dev.blogspot.com/2010/08/getting-ps3-eye-to-work.html shoudl i follow this? | 21:27 |
| seidos | iiname: er ps3 eye? i don't see the connection. | 21:28 |
| bioterror | maheanuu, you have to delete .pulse -folder in your home directory | 21:28 |
| iiname | seidos, I don't know, it appeared to be instructions for installing multitouch ??? | 21:28 |
| seidos | iiname: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch :| | 21:31 |
| seidos | this is the first time i've heard of "multitouch" | 21:31 |
| bioterror | maheanuu, after deleting .pulse folder, you have to run command /usr/bin/pulseaudio | 21:31 |
| seidos | iiname: sudo apt-get install utouch ? | 21:33 |
| seidos | gotta' check the wiki before google | 21:35 |
| seidos | since google doesn't always make the wiki a hit | 21:35 |
| maheanuu | bak, Bioterror I will look for it now... | 21:36 |
| seidos | well, if you search for "multitouch ubuntu support" the wiki isn't a hit | 21:36 |
| seidos | "testing" yes...but not support | 21:36 |
| seidos | i'll create a page for it on help.ubuntu.com/community/multitouch with the word "support" and the command to install the utouch package | 21:39 |
| maheanuu | I did and here is what I got back... "W: ratelimit.c: 4 events suppressed W: ratelimit.c: 1 events suppressed W: ratelimit.c: 1 events suppressed W: ratelimit.c: 1 events suppressed " | 21:41 |
| bioterror | maheanuu, can you now adjust volume? | 21:42 |
| maheanuu | I don't know will try brb | 21:42 |
| maheanuu | Bio, you da one.... Maruru roa.... I wurking again | 21:44 |
| bioterror | o// | 21:44 |
| bioterror | no need for reinstallation, seidos | 21:44 |

| maheanuu | Knew that there was a reason I liked you <grin> | 21:47 |
| maheanuu | Where you located? | 21:48 |

| seidos | bioterror: i don't believe it | 21:50 |
| maheanuu | bio, care to try on my biggie, the non update problem??? | 21:50 |
| seidos | i also didn't know the problem was a "volume adjustment problem", but a volume level problem. | 21:50 |
| seidos | i should probably stick to writing | 21:51 |
| maheanuu | Bio, I thought that I explained that to seidos | 21:52 |
| maheanuu | At least you understood it was a level thingey..... I had everything maxed out and said so and still the level was inaudible | 21:53 |
| maheanuu | Ok seiuno, would you like to work on my biggie with me? | 21:54 |
