| james147 | Scunizi: its most likly the network manager if you have wifi | 03:27 |
| james147 | Scunizi: you can setup the network manager to store the passphrases in an unencrypted file which will stop it asking | 03:28 |
| Scunizi | james147: how do you do that? | 03:29 |
| james147 | Scunizi: manage connection > other | 03:29 |
| Scunizi | I'll look.. thanks | 03:30 |
| Scunizi | Ok.. made the switch.. another topic.. I installed cairo dock.. on boot 2 instances load and I have to kill one of them.. I've not been able to find the "start on boot" switch to turn one off. (If that's even the issue) | 03:32 |
| Scunizi | Unless it's loading the non-opengl version and the opengl version at the same time.. it ends up I have to shift+alt+F12 to re-activate opengl and get rid of the black box around everything cairo related. | 03:34 |

| james147 | c2tarun: kubuntu uses network-manager :p with kdes widget front end, there is also the gnome front end (nm-applet) or you can use wicd (will remove network-manager) | 03:46 |
| c2tarun | james147, Scunizi, there is a problem in kubuntu the network-manager is not detecting DSL connections. I think its problem with n/w manager because DSL connection is just wrking fine here. Should I change my n/w manager? | 03:47 |

| php5engineer | Possibly, it is not a stream, but I can hear the radio using this link. If you want to play this radio with audio player, I give you a hint: audio players do not understand links to a web pages. You need to specify a link directly to a stream. Try to add in xmm player link to mms://89.202.214.2/66360a73-2b6d-483e-ae7e-29eee545d37c or mms://89.202.214.2/7b4612b1-d02e-49d7-a8b3-c1f0f33efcd5 stream | 09:58 |

| noaXess | hey BluesKaj | 14:13 |
| BluesKaj | noaXess, hi....interesting question, but what about the resolution of the playback device? | 14:14 |
| noaXess | BluesKaj: to big ;) fullhd.. and i want just record a window, not all the desktop.. so i need to set the windo to the correct resolution and select this window to record | 14:15 |
| noaXess | and the prob is also, i have two monitor.. and if a just record.. i record all the monitors ;).. | 14:16 |
| BluesKaj | 'noaXess, , my point is that the playback device will change the res somewhat depending on the aspect ratio and the device's native resolution | 14:17 |
| noaXess | BluesKaj: but in recordmydesktop i can select just a window. ..and the the en res. will be like that windo | 14:17 |
| noaXess | w | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | noaXess, are you sure ? | 14:20 |
| noaXess | yesss.. | 14:20 |
| BluesKaj | noaXess, , maybe if you fool around with the windows setting by rioght clicking on the titlebar then, advanced ,/special windows settings or application settings you%C01what you want | 14:24 |
| BluesKaj | oops , you can set what you want | 14:25 |
| * BluesKaj checks the KB batteries , again | 14:25 | |

| kps_foo | quant: that happens with me too, I still haven't found a solution | 15:23 |
| Daskreech | quant: I'm pretty sure it's just the backend choking on something in the wmv. The VLC backend for Phonon will probably make it work fine | 15:23 |
| kps_foo | quant: I too have the propietary ATI driver | 15:24 |
| quant | Daskreech: any ideas about that flash thing, please? you seem to know everything that I ask | 15:25 |
| c2tarun | kps_foo: I have ati graphic card as well, but not facing any such problem | 15:25 |
| kps_foo | c2tarun: I dunno, facing this problem in Chromium as well as Firefox | 15:26 |
| Daskreech | I'd open the Flash settings and turn off hardware acceleration | 15:26 |
| Daskreech | That's if I ran flash | 15:26 |
| kps_foo | Daskreech: ok, I will try that | 15:26 |
| c2tarun | kps_foo: I have two ubuntu(64 bit) and kubuntu(32 bit) and both are working fine (I use firefox in both) | 15:27 |
| kps_foo | c2tarun: ubuntu works fine for me too | 15:27 |
| Daskreech | ATI using fglrx ? | 15:27 |

| kps_foo | Daskreech: the settings option is grayed out when I right click on a youtube video :( | 15:30 |
| kps_foo | I found a solution, try disabling the desktop effects, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10023107 | 15:33 |
| kps_foo | that solves the problem for me | 15:33 |
| quant | kps_foo: yes, that's an option, but one that I'm not willing to choose :) | 15:33 |
| kps_foo | quant: yeah, you are right, without desktop effects life is too boring... | 15:34 |
| quant | Daskreech: still greyed out... stupid as it is | 15:34 |
| quant | funny how the flash ads etc. don't break, only the flash videos | 15:35 |
| quant | ok, tried another flash site (not youtube.com) and that doesn't break | 15:35 |
| quant | direct rendering and vsync... would that possibly have anything to do with this? | 15:38 |
| Daskreech | quant, kps_foo: You can temporarily disable Desktop effects with alt+shift+F12 | 15:38 |
| Daskreech | If you are playing a game or something else that global use of OpenGL either breaks or hampers it you can turn it off for a few minutes and turn it back out without opening any settings | 15:39 |
| quant | Daskreech: yes, thanks... that'll suffice for games, but I'm hoping to find a better solution for youtube (using it too often) | 15:40 |
| Daskreech | Switch it HTML5? :) | 15:40 |
| quant | Daskreech: had that idea, yeah... I'll try to find that option on youtube | 15:40 |
| quant | Daskreech: thanks again for all the help | 15:45 |
| Daskreech | Sure :) | 15:46 |

| [mors] | I am using it yes :p but kde's should work too | 15:55 |
| [mors] | kde's has all the options but fails to connect | 15:55 |
| Daskreech | There are a few (rapidly diminishing) things that Gnome's Network manager can do since it's quite a few years older than KDE's which is about a year old | 15:56 |
| Daskreech | If you need those things then feel free to use what works but please file a bug. Should be on feature parity (hopefully KDE will have more functionality) very soon | 15:57 |
| [mors] | and what about easily connecting to my 3g network using my phone as modem ? | 15:57 |

| arbitrary | I'm not sure how to determine if my ethernet port is borked. I ask here because the port belongs to a Kubuntu system (9.10) | 19:17 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: What is it doing or not doing, etc that makes you think it has some issue? | 19:27 |
| arbitrary | Well, this is a rescued computer, some parts of it nonfunctional. I know the destination works, because I've hooked that up to other things previously. However, connecting the other computer (a WinXP box, unfortunately), and Kubuntu results in no acknowledgement from either of them. | 19:30 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Has the box had adapters pulled out or put in ? The system keeps a list and old ones no longer existing still have name eth0 for instance reserved, new ones get bumped up in number. | 19:32 |
| arbitrary | genii-around: Nothing physical has been changed. The only known damage to the box is a bashed firewire port. | 19:33 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Does command of: lspci| grep Ether produce a line of output with the adapter name? | 19:35 |
| arbitrary | Claims existence of an ethernet controller | 19:36 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: OK. So then: sudo lshw -C network and then look for the line which starts: configuration and if a driver is loaded for it, there will be in that line someplace the name of it | 19:39 |
| genii-around | If nothing like "driver=somename" in configuration line then it may be something like a problemmatic one needing special driver massaging like some Broadcoms, etc | 19:41 |
| arbitrary | autonegoti=on broadcast=yes driver=8139too driverversion=0.9.28 - etc. | 19:41 |
| [mors] | something really weird happened | 19:47 |
| [mors] | had flash 10.2 installed (it has hw accel for video) and kde 4.6.1, using nvidia drivers 260. Went to youtube saw a video and closed the browser tab midway. Flash froze that last frame in that position of the computer screen and whenever I move something black over that region that last frame overlays the black parts !?! | 19:47 |
| shane4ubuntu | ? | 19:47 |
| shane4ubuntu | [mors]: that is a weird crash | 19:48 |
| shane4ubuntu | try in the konsole: top and see what is hung up? | 19:48 |
| shane4ubuntu | probably npviewer.bin? or something similar | 19:48 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: So it looks like it should be able to work on a physical level. Hardware is seen and driver is loaded. Does: ifconfig eth0 show a line beginning with: inet addr: which shows an IP address after it? | 19:48 |
| [mors] | not a crash | 19:49 |
| genii-around | [mors]: Yes, I've seen that a few times too but not able to repeat it consistently | 19:49 |
| arbitrary | No. This may be because I'm not attempting to connect to the net. It does claim a HWaddr | 19:49 |
| [mors] | no process was alive with flash loaded. Even after logging off the frame persisted until I restarted X | 19:49 |
| [mors] | genii-around: workaround for me, reinstall flash 10.0 | 19:49 |
| * shane4ubuntu is very contented with Chrome, and no flash issues. | 19:50 | |
| [mors] | 100% repro rate here | 19:50 |
| [mors] | happens with opera and chrome | 19:50 |
| arbitrary | genii-around: Want me to pastebin the exact output? | 19:50 |
| shane4ubuntu | file bug report if you can reproduce it. | 19:51 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Is the machine hooked to something like a dhcp server which will give it a number? | 19:51 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: No pastebin needed yet :) | 19:51 |
| shane4ubuntu | [mors]: that is really odd, I have never had an issue with chrome and flash, there was an update yesterday to chrome. | 19:51 |
| shane4ubuntu | [mors]: chrome or chromium? | 19:51 |
| [mors] | I just updated everything and it happened | 19:51 |
| arbitrary | genii-around: It's not connected to anything but the other PC, and this over the ethernet connection which is causing trouble. | 19:51 |
| [mors] | chromium and opera | 19:51 |
| [mors] | so I doubt it's a browser issue | 19:51 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Well, to see any kind of traffic though, it would need to have an IP address. so you can set one manually in the /etc/network/interfaces file that is on same range as the other box if you want to exchange traffic over a crossover cable or so | 19:52 |
| [mors] | (how do I kill all kate output to stdout? it's too annoyiing) | 19:52 |
| shane4ubuntu | right, probably not, but Chromium is the testing bed for Chrome, I switched to chrome, shouldn't be an issue with either though, because somehow Google implements flash inside it's browser setup or something | 19:52 |
| shane4ubuntu | brb | 19:53 |
| arbitrary | genii-around: Pardon my ignorance, but how do I go about that? | 19:53 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: For instance, to open the file with admin rights: so in konsole: kdesudo kate /etc/network/interfaces Then to add some lines specifying what it's IP, netmask, and gateway are for instance | 19:54 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: You can see examples if you do: man interfaces | 19:55 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: After the file is edited and saved, you start up the interface with it's new settings by: sudo ifup eth0 | 19:56 |
| genii-around | Work needs me 5-10 minutes but I'll respond on returning | 19:56 |
| arbitrary | Okay, looks like I need to find the range of the other machine as well, though. | 19:57 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Yes. If it's a windows box, you can can open a dos prompt and issue: ipconfig which will tell you | 20:00 |
| arbitrary | Why oh why does it try to do it full screen o_o | 20:00 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: If the windows box didn't find a dhcp server, it's ip likely starts with 169.something. | 20:01 |
| arbitrary | Ethernet Adapter from Local Area Connection: | 20:01 |
| arbitrary | Media State: Disconnected | 20:01 |
| arbitrary | That was helpful, windows. | 20:02 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Somewhere in network setting within windows you can set it. I'm not sure where anymore because I am rarely in that OS anymore :) But the general idea is something like maybe 192.168.1.100 for it , use it's own ip as gateway,netmask of 255.255.255.0 then on the linux box ip of 192.168.1.101, own ip as gateway, same mask 255.255.255.0 | 20:07 |
| genii-around | after that you should see at least traffic indicators, even if they can't yet agree on what or how to be talking to each other | 20:08 |
| arbitrary | genii-around: Okay, so I've given those settings to WinXP, but I don't know quite how to instruct it on Kubuntu. | 20:11 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: To reiterate from earlier: kdesudo kate /etc/network/interfaces to open the networking file | 20:12 |
| BluesKaj | genii-around, arbitrary , listing the IPs in /etc/hosts.allow seems to help preventing dropped and lost connections , add portmap then underneat list the IPs on lan or wan like so, ALL:192.168.X.X | 20:12 |
| BluesKaj | underneat=underneath | 20:13 |
| arbitrary | So, let's see. . . | 20:14 |
| BluesKaj | the router IP, and gateway IPs are the most important from the advice I received | 20:14 |
| arbitrary | iface eth0 inet static | 20:14 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Then put in there, each on it's own line: auto eth0 then:iface eth0 inet static then: address 192.168.1.101 then:netmask 255.255.255.0 then: gateway 192.168.1.101 | 20:14 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Then save the file. Then issue: sudo ifup eth0 | 20:14 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Then you should be able to ping the win box | 20:15 |
| arbitrary | Shouldn't the gateway be 192.168.1.1? | 20:15 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: No, the gateway should be it's own ip. since they are wired directly to each other and traffic is not being routed | 20:16 |
| arbitrary | Ah. So, windows should have the same address and gateway as well? | 20:16 |
| james | i need some help with authenticating | 20:16 |
| arbitrary | E.g. windows is address/gateway 192.168.1.100 | 20:17 |

| gomiboy | Guest53172: and the same pass doesn't work?!? It gives some errors? | 20:21 |

| arbitrary | IP of the Kubuntu machine? | 20:22 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: kdesudo kate /etc/resolv.conf rather | 20:22 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Yup | 20:22 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: At any rate, I think we've established your adapter works :) | 20:23 |
| arbitrary | So I just put 192.168.1.101 in the file or what? | 20:23 |
| arbitrary | Yes. Victory over step one, at least. | 20:24 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: You put: nameserver 192.168.1.101 | 20:24 |
| arbitrary | O_o | 20:24 |
| arbitrary | Now I get "already configured" | 20:25 |
| gomiboy | Everytime i login | 20:25 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Yes, that means you already did the sudo ifup eth0 before :) | 20:26 |
| arbitrary | Okay, pinging doesn't work, but then I don't think destination machine is setup yet. | 20:26 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: If you do now the: ifconfig eth0 you should maybe see something under the RX and TX lines | 20:27 |
| arbitrary | Well, destination host is unreachable, but I do have an inet addr at least. | 20:27 |

| sergej_supo | hi | 20:39 |
| Daskreech | sergej_supo: Hi | 20:40 |
| arbitrary | genii-around: We've got issues. | 20:45 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Can you elaborate? | 20:46 |
| arbitrary | genii-around: The ethernet port immediately lights up and lists out information if plugged in to a separate computer. The problem is somewhere on Kubuntu's side. This is a generic install of Kubuntu 9.10 - it works fine with a laptop Ubuntu 10.10 | 20:47 |
| arbitrary | The laptop, by the way, is running a LiveCD, so it's not in the setup. | 20:48 |
| sergej_supo | genii-around: for me the information sounds confusing... but well, your case. ;) | 20:50 |
| arbitrary2 | genii-around: I missed any response you made due to network hiccup | 20:51 |
| === arbitrary2 is now known as arbitrary | ||
| Daskreech | arbitrary: Didn't mis anything | 20:54 |
| arbitrary | Daskreech: Danke. That being said, this presents a serious issue. | 20:55 |
| Daskreech | What is the problem? | 20:55 |
| arbitrary | Somewhere in this machine: Kubuntu's settings or drivers, or the ethernet card, or the ethernet port, a connection is not being made. | 20:56 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Work needed me agin. Lemme catch up on backscroll | 20:56 |
| arbitrary | Kubuntu seems to think it all works from cursory examination. | 20:56 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: So the ethernet port lights up on the win box? | 20:57 |
| arbitrary2 | Yes, when plugged into Ubumachine, not when plugged into Kubumachine. | 21:01 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: When the win box is connected to the kubuntu and result of: ifconfig shows it has it's IP, can you do from kubuntu: ping 192.168.1.100 successfully? ( if the win box has that ip ) | 21:03 |
| === arbitrary2 is now known as arbitrary | ||
| arbitrary | Get large, fast streams of Destination Host Unreachable | 21:03 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Hm. Are you using an actual crossover cable or a straight through? | 21:05 |
| arbitrary | Not sure. Cable that comes with an Xbox 360, as it's the only ethernet cable I have lying around. There's nothing between them, if that's what you're asking. | 21:06 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: If you put the two ends of the cable side by side and look at the order of the wires in the plug. If a straight through, they are in same order. If crossover, they are in slightly different order | 21:09 |
| arbitrary | Looks to be a straight through. | 21:10 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: The reason I ask is.. some older hubs and ethernet adapters require a crossover cable specifically when you hook two boxes directly to each other, they can't autodetect the cable type and adjust | 21:11 |
| arbitrary | Well, the problem machine advertises itself as Vista Capable. | 21:11 |
| shane4ubuntu | calibre is broken? | 21:12 |
| shane4ubuntu | at least calibre gui, I have used the cli, just tried to start the app, and it didn't, cli gives errors, odd. | 21:13 |
| gomiboy | arbitrary: afaik both network cards need to support autosensing to work with a straight cable | 21:14 |
| arbitrary | gomiboy: Do you think it realistically likely that a 3-4yrsold-tops ethernet card doesn't support it? | 21:16 |
| genii-around | gomiboy: Yes, that is also my thought | 21:16 |
| gomiboy | arbitrary: my last pc purchase was 6 years ago, and it doesn't support it, i don't know :P | 21:18 |
| gomiboy | arbitrary: that said if the ethernet doesn't light up, that's your problem | 21:20 |
| arbitrary | Christ all bitchnickels. | 21:20 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Language, please :) We try to keep it family friendly in here | 21:21 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Have you tried hooking the two linux boxes together? | 21:21 |
| joeuser2ooo | tried to figure out what this slang means... :) | 21:22 |
| arbitrary | No, would that change anything? | 21:22 |
| * gomiboy too | 21:22 | |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Well, it makes it easier to have them communicate to each other when they are both using the same kind of OS | 21:23 |
| arbitrary | Huh. They appear to be trying to connect. | 21:23 |
| genii-around | Cool. | 21:24 |
| arbitrary | Kubuntu is stuck on "obtaining network address" | 21:24 |
| arbitrary | Probably because the Ubuntu box doesn't have a static IP setup | 21:24 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: You mean the ubuntu box is trying for an address? I thought the kubuntu one is setup now for static, so it shouldn't try to get any ip | 21:25 |
| arbitrary | That's what kubuntu was saying. the ubuntu box didn't really react, though it acknowledges a connection is possible. | 21:26 |
| genii-around | Interesting. | 21:26 |
| === Muzer is now known as MuzerAway | ||
| arbitrary | Can you give me the location for the network interfaces file so I can run through a static IP for the Ubuntu box? I lost the info when I restarted. | 21:27 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: So on the kubuntu box, ifconfig eth0 should show some two-way traffic in the last line | 21:27 |
| arbitrary | Packets were sent, at least. | 21:27 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: kdesudo kate /etc/network/interfaces to edit it | 21:28 |
| arbitrary | Not so much on the ubuntu box. | 21:28 |
| genii-around | gomiboy: I think the win and kubuntu boxes have stupid adapters and require a crossover to talk to each other, the ubuntu box has one which can autodetect and so it can talk to both of the old ones | 21:29 |
| arbitrary | I would not be surprised. | 21:30 |
| arbitrary | Let's see, setup command after adjusting /interfaces was? | 21:31 |

| arbitrary | Grah. What goes into the resolv.conf again? | 21:32 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: nameserver local-ip-address-goes-here | 21:32 |
| gomiboy | with 3 boxes i'd use a switch :P | 21:32 |
| arbitrary | Meh, have no interest in the Ubuntu box. It's dying, just with better hardware. | 21:33 |
| arbitrary | Okay, they definitely know the other is there, and the ip stuff is setup as suggested, , , | 21:35 |
| arbitrary | Not sure how to actually retrieve info from each other. | 21:36 |
| gomiboy | arbitrary: it's ping time! :) | 21:36 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Yes, can they ping each other's ip alright? | 21:37 |
| arbitrary | No. Different claim than when attempting to ping the windows box. | 21:37 |
| arbitrary | Both of them return: connect: network is unreachable | 21:37 |
| joeuser2ooo | gomiboy: nope, it's time to read network books/stuff. ;) | 21:37 |
| genii-around | "network" is unreachable? | 21:38 |
| arbitrary | Yep. | 21:38 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Did you use some ip number that ended in 1 or 255 for one of the boxes? | 21:38 |
| arbitrary | Kubuntu is 192.168.1.101 - Ubuntu is 192.168.1.200 | 21:38 |
| arbitrary | Fffuuu | 21:40 |
| arbitrary | Completely separate matter. | 21:40 |
| arbitrary | Need to add like 60GB to the partition I'm writing to save a dying one from. Of course you have to save even the data that didn't tie to anything. . . | 21:40 |
| Daskreech | arbitrary: Are they on the same device? | 21:42 |
| arbitrary | No. | 21:42 |
| joeuser2ooo | arbitrary: my english is bad... but you sound a bit insane to me. ;-) | 21:42 |
| arbitrary | joeuser2ooo: Doing far, far, far too many things at once. Going into a manic state from the stress. | 21:43 |
| Daskreech | arbitrary: open partitionmanager and resize | 21:43 |
| arbitrary | GParted, I assume, for Ubuntu. | 21:43 |
| arbitrary | Of course, I have to eat an existing (but thankfully empty) partition. | 21:43 |
| Daskreech | arbitrary: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/30/Keep_Calm_and_Carry_On_Poster.svg | 21:43 |
| genii-around | Daskreech: He has 2 boxes connected nic-to-nic directly | 21:43 |
| Daskreech | arbitrary: ah right if it's empty why dn't you just dump data there? | 21:44 |
| arbitrary | Daskreech: Because I will need two partitions on the one device - one to contain the recovered data, the other to extract the useful stuff to. | 21:44 |
| Daskreech | If you say so :) | 21:45 |
| joeuser2ooo | arbitrary: do you really have to do this? rethink! | 21:45 |
| arbitrary | It's like this. Partition 1 is a genuine storage partition that happens to have nothing to store at the moment. Partition 2 is a recovered data partition, whose primary purpose will be to host a dead operating system and read the information from it. Extract the useful information from the recovery partition, then consume partition 2 into partition 1. | 21:46 |
| Daskreech | If you say so :) | 21:46 |
| arbitrary | GParted is taking forever to load because it's trying to learn more about a nearly-dead hard disk -.- | 21:46 |

| * gomiboy proposes to open pc case, take hd and mount it on the other machine... networking is so overrated... | 21:47 | |
| arbitrary | The other machines are irrelevant. | 21:47 |
| arbitrary | The hard disk is in the one machine, and it is writing to an external hard disk. | 21:48 |
| arbitrary | Plus, I think cracking open my laptop may void the warranty, and I really want to get myself a brand new hard disk without the effort. | 21:48 |
| arbitrary | And none of this has anything to do with why I"m actually here. Back to the matter of the Kubuntu machine's connections. | 21:49 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: What is the result of: route | grep default on both boxes? | 21:50 |
| genii-around | ( ideally each says it's own ip is the default route ) | 21:50 |
| arbitrary | Both of them resolve without printing anything. | 21:51 |
| gomiboy | arbitrary: if the ethernet lights don't comes up, it's not an kubuntu matter. Are they up? | 21:51 |
| arbitrary | Ethernet lights are up on the kubuntu machine | 21:52 |
| gomiboy | And on the other side? | 21:52 |
| arbitrary | Port doesn't have lights. | 21:53 |
| gomiboy | doh! | 21:53 |
| joeuser2ooo | ah? | 21:53 |
| arbitrary | :\ | 21:55 |
| nyad | hi. I want to change my theme for logging in. I downloaded a whole lot of themes by clicking get new themes, but none of them show up | 21:56 |
| nyad | what's the issue? | 21:56 |
| arbitrary | Interesting. Go to 1GB of errata from 10K errors on disk. The next 2K errors give me 26GB of errata | 21:57 |
| arbitrary | Anyway, is there something with the command that would cause them to not print information> | 21:58 |
| arbitrary | route | grep default - that is | 21:58 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: I would suggest something like: sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.100 eth0 on box with that ip, same command with the other using it's ip | 21:58 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: It's entirely possible no default route to anyplace, but unusual | 21:59 |
| arbitrary | SIOCADDRT: no such process | 21:59 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Ah. So the ethernet adapter on that box is not brought up yet | 21:59 |
| arbitrary | Both claim such. | 22:00 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Did you do the: sudo ifup eth0 ? | 22:01 |
| arbitrary | sudo ifup eth0 - interface eth0 already configured - sudo route add . . . - SIOCADDRT: No such process | 22:02 |
| genii-around | hm | 22:02 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: Perhaps ditch then the eth0 part at the end of the route command | 22:05 |
| arbitrary | No difference. | 22:05 |
| * genii-around goes to make more coffee | 22:06 | |
| arbitrary | For the love of. . . GParted is still scanning -.- | 22:08 |
| arbitrary | Must depart a few minutes. Will return. | 22:10 |
| arbitrary | Back. | 22:22 |
| arbitrary | Interestingly, turning on verbose mode adds exactly no output. | 22:23 |
| Daskreech | having arbitrary and genii-around with the same colour nick doesn't help this conversation Konversation | 22:27 |
| arbitrary | Daskreech: I would love to have a client that actually assigns separate colours and can handle large scales. :| | 22:27 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: I gotta leave, have to be somewhere | 22:28 |
| arbitrary | genii-around: Thanks for everything, though. | 22:28 |
| Daskreech | arbitrary: wouldn't make a difference You eyes can quickly pick up a few hundred shades of colour | 22:28 |
| genii-around | arbitrary: OK. I'll be back in on Monday if you're still stuck | 22:28 |
| Daskreech | places like here or #ubuntu on release day would stress the brain's capacity to quickly distinguish in any case | 22:29 |
| Daskreech | genii-around: Takes that much time to brew enough coffee? | 22:29 |
| arbitrary | Daskreech: You make a fair point. | 22:29 |
| arbitrary | Still actually want the capacity, though. | 22:29 |
| Daskreech | :) | 22:31 |
