[00:07] i'm about half scared to update to 4.7.3 [00:12] jmichaelx: i am updating to 4.7.3 [00:13] phoenix_firebrd: my experience is that in updating KDE, one is just generally exchanging old bugs for new bugs [00:14] jmichaelx: any way we are trying to remove the bugs [01:06] so i have ia32-libs installed. i am wanting to set up the android SDK on a 64-bit system (running oneiric), should this be all i need? (i am slightly confused by the move to multi-arch support) [01:19] is there anything wrong with the .iso for amd64 on the website [01:19] i downloaded it and can't mount [01:20] the md5 checks out [01:24] hays: how are you trying to mount it? [01:24] double clicking in macos [01:24] I've no idea how macs mount stuff... [01:26] hmm [01:27] maybe try a mac channel since the iso pasess the md5 check [01:33] I've about had it with kubuntu and it's weird behavior. Can anyone tell me why all of a sudden I can't access my ntfs drive? has there been a rash of this? [01:33] All of a sudden I nee authentication to mount the device. [01:42] wow. === cleaninstall is now known as phiscribe [01:45] what is a way to manage users across multiple mahcines? not sure ldap or samba is what i want to get into, just something that can sync passwords and permisions, maybe ldap or samba is what i want, suggestions? [01:54] okay, here is coming. [01:55] good bye....... [01:55] * phiscribe is leary of webmin, it does do many things i would like done === zz_Kalidarn is now known as Kalidarn [02:08] !webmin [02:08] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [02:08] phiscribe: ^ [02:09] yeah i was looking at that, thanks [02:09] i just wonder maybe if i just make something that looks liek ebox or zentyal [02:10] Is there a problem with kubuntu/ubuntu installers with an input/output error? [02:12] which error Linkmaster [02:13] phiscribe: "warning: failure trying to run: chroot /target dpk --force-depends --install /var/cache/apt/archives/dpkg_1.16.0.3ubuntu5_amd64.deb [02:13] I'm using the alternate 64bit installer, because the main 11.10 32bit installer crashed halfway through every time, and I have no clue why its not working [02:16] so kinda multiarch bug, im not sure Linkmaster sorry [02:16] does it die right there or go on? [02:16] I try hitting 'continue' [02:17] tab keys and enter? arroow keys? [02:17] "base system installation error: the debootstrap program exited with an error (return value 1). check /var/log/ssylog or see virtual console 4 for the details" [02:17] whats in syslog [02:18] How do you get there? [02:19] you at the command line? [02:19] no, its the alternate installer thing [02:20] i dont know enough aboutthe alt installer to know how ot get a tty from there or if u can [02:20] ugh... [02:20] yofel: I hate bothering you, but I need your intellect [02:21] Linkmaster: it COULD be a bad CD [02:22] might wanna check the md5dums and burn it a bit slower [02:22] Its not a bad CD, its a USB, and the image is good(I believe) [02:24] debootstrap program exited with an error ---its not seeing something it wants, id check teh md5 to be sure [02:24] alt +ft might gvie you a tty [02:24] alt +f4 that is [02:24] I dont know how to with my current os(its a kiosked mode opensuse) [02:26] hi everyone, i want to set a web server + ssl on my kubuntu, doesnt anyone know a good tutorial. [02:26] phiscribe: do you think I should manually add that file into it? [02:27] linkhttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM [02:28] i think that if you arent sure if the image you are booting with is good or bad, it is higher on the diagnostic prong to check [02:29] phiscribe: I'm just annoyed now...I told my friend I'd have his computer good-to-go during the weekend, and its being blasted with me, and I don't even know why [02:30] have u got another box laying aring Linkmaster that you can see if the usb will work [02:30] or if it has a cd burm a cd [02:30] what do you mean? [02:32] instead of using the usb, burn a CD and use it to boot, if you have access, if not maybe use a live boot, but check the md4 before you burn, some burn programs do this auto [02:34] phiscribe: I have no CD's...I can use a different USB though. and I have only alternate images, since I got kind of tired of the live installers not working [02:35] romeyro: apache is probably what you will want in the linux verse, but its not the only route [02:35] phiscribe: the md5sum is exact. I try to change the partitioning sequence, and now I get an input/output error [02:35] https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/httpd.html [02:35] * on /dev/sda [02:36] phiscribe: i used apache for years, but i never set ssl [02:36] well whats the input output error, i saw teh chroot error and the boot strap error [02:37] romeyro: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/forum/server/apache2/SSL https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenSSL [02:37] phiscribe: my Internet provider service block the port 80, so my website is only available from my local network. but if i use ssl its gonna be on the port 443 [02:38] phiscribe: thank you [02:38] romeyro: your describing slightly diffrent things, [02:39] you can set appache to use any port, with no need for ssh, what you are describing is a tunneling setup, for....what im not sure [02:40] you could use a DDns service to redirect peeople wanting into your port 80 to another port, circemventing your ISP's limitation, all without ssl === Guest68196 is now known as canis_ [02:42] okay, let's try this again. Can anyone tell me why all of a sudden policy kit is popping up asking me for a root password tha I evidently don't have? [02:42] phiscribe: i already tried with no-ip.com. i changed apache port to 8080 and it worked. And from no-ip.com i can not get a redirect to the port 80 [02:43] phiscribe: it should be different. And mywebsite.com:8080 doesnt look cool in the browser [02:44] dont redirect to port 80 romeyro, redirecto 2392 or pick one thats out of the way on the web server [02:45] phiscribe: but 2392, in this case, gonna appear in the browser :S [02:45] phiscribe: in the address bar [02:45] i can't access my ntfs partition, I can't upsate...who knows what else I can't do. [02:45] scenerio - soemone types in www.my-ddns-ip.com that sends them to the my-ddns-ip service, on their web server on port 80 not blocked by isp, that redirects them to your home server running on another port besides 80 that is open and allowed by ytour isp [02:46] canis, upgrade? clean? [02:46] canis_: that is [02:46] Clean [02:47] did u install ubuntu one? [02:47] It just starte today, i didn't even install anything. [02:47] phiscribe: so it ll be only in my local network the port will appear and not from the internet ? [02:47] no ubuntu one. === fitoria_ is now known as fitoria [02:49] canis_: no clue, id look to see if there are groups and users set for the wrong folders, (like /home/userjoe set to user root and group root) [02:49] if you use sudo on any gui app it can cause weirdness with permsions, seems more soo in kde, have to do kdesudo [02:49] i ll be right back i need to restart my pc [02:51] i can acces my external ntfs, i just can't get to my windows partition, or update for some reason. Is there a more "tech channel somewhere? [02:51] Who here went to SELF 2011? [02:51] i couldn't find anything on the net directly related to this issue in kubuntu. [02:51] romeyro: you get a service to give you say romeyro.service.com....they associate www.romeyro.service.com with the ip address of your home server, and you should be able to set it to go to a specific port, all happes outside your isp and your network, localy, you run a web server on a port besides 80 that the isp allows [02:51] * j_dulaney is trying to find someone he ran into there that is with Kubuntu/KDE [02:52] canis_: is the windows partition found in sudi fdisk -l ? [02:52] canis_: is the windows partition found in sudo fdisk -l ? [02:52] wait one [02:52] canis_: can you manualy mount it? is it an fstab entry? fstab has some bugs lately [02:52] I can see it in the side bar. [02:53] fdisk doesn't have a side bar [02:53] I am not in the sudoers file...That's another thing that just started happening [02:53] ive read that some ntfs mounts sdt to mount automaticaly in fstab dont anymore, workaround, manualymount till they fix it [02:54] ok now your taling alien abduction [02:54] sounds like things got borked on the upgrade [02:54] I didn't upgrade. [02:54] he is running clean [02:54] when did these issues start coming up then? [02:54] however I left my laptop with the screen locked for about 7 jours yesterday, and when I came back it was unlocked. [02:55] I just noticed it starting earlier today...let me go talk to my little sister. [02:55] heh ;) [02:55] many users? if just one or two ,m try setting user and groups back to who they belong, (assuming they are a bit off) [02:55] little sister, the plot thinkings [02:55] thickens even [02:56] * phiscribe imagines little sisters saying, but it looks like a cup holder [02:57] Sigh. [02:57] I'm sure she did something...i knew I should have changed my password. [02:57] there might be a clue in the logs [02:58] which one I wouldn't know [02:58] How can i check? [02:58] there's no easy way I know 'cept reading [02:58] the logs should all be timestamped [02:58] ksyslog is a tool to view logs [02:59] otherwise look at the files in /var/log syslog kern auth [02:59] okay [02:59] canis_: See http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [02:59] .Xsession-errors in your home folder might have erros (i am sure i spelled that wrong) === Kalidarn is now known as zz_Kalidarn [03:00] It isn't my password that's messed up. I'm not a part of sudoers anymore. === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin [03:00] one another topic, anyone know how to make notifications, TALK with what ever enginge [03:00] do you think i need typing lessons [03:00] canis_: that might be something to take up with whomever modified your system. [03:00] if you're not in sudoers there's not much you can do [03:01] canis_: if you can boot with a CD you can man handle it with chroot [03:01] What I'm trying to figure out is how it could happen by accident. no one here even knows how to use linux properly...evidently that includes myself. [03:02] canis_: you are assuming accidental [03:02] I had to be. [03:02] I'm telling you, the computer literacy in this house is laughable. [03:02] if its net connected [03:03] there's so many possibilities [03:03] u got around 6 billion possible culprits [03:03] first guess is your groups got changed [03:03] I've been having weird issues with kubuntu from the start anyway. [03:03] that could be from a bad cd burn [03:04] 2 different installs on 2 computers, and the same issues...floating panel bar. [03:04] since it is just you with these sort of issues [03:04] Various things. [03:04] I was thinking that, but it checked out ok. i think i'm being targeted by the G men for their own amusement. [03:05] I'm sure they'd have a better sport [03:05] never underestiamte the petty nature of man. [03:06] I'm going to restart for an attempt to recover. [03:10] quick question [03:11] i was thinking about reinstalling...i noticed that if you don't format then the user files tend to stay where they are when using ubuntu, does this apply to kubuntu as well? === zz_Kalidarn is now known as Kalidarn [03:18] okay, this is nuts. I believe my sister now. [03:19] i've been experiencing random log offs too. [03:19] canis_: may be the xserver crashes [03:19] I have no choice but to reinstall now...It kicked me out and won't take my password any more. [03:20] canis_: file corruption? [03:20] I'm going to install from a usb and see what happens...maybe i'll use my external to do it. [03:20] I never got any warning, and i checked my diska about 2 weeks ago. [03:21] I may end up going back to ubuntu. [03:21] canis_: did you try to login from bash? [03:22] do I keep my file structure and personal file if i don't format the drive on a reinstall? [03:22] canis_: yes [03:22] i didn't try from bash as no terminal would take My root password. [03:22] ok, how about downloaded software? [03:23] canis_: dont know about that, you better rename it to some name [03:23] canis_: i mean you rename your entire home folder to some other name [03:24] I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING I CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE. Whoops, sorry, but I'm not retyping that. [03:25] canis_: it is better that you backup all the files in the partition before you install [03:26] I really don't have anything that i can't afford to lose. I kept almost everything backed up on the windows partition anyway. [03:26] canis_: have you tried this http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [03:26] I just didn't want to spend half a day reinstalling software. a lote of compiling to do!!! [03:27] Thanks, but I'd reather see if a USB install will fix the isues anyway. It's been "off" from day one. Might be this dell studio laptop, but i doubt it. [03:28] canis_: try this before the install , i seems it may work , http://burnz.wordpress.com/2008/09/09/how-to-reset-ubuntu-root-password/ [03:30] Hmmm, that's interesting. [03:31] i'll try that. [03:32] canis_: had you actually created a root user, or... [03:32] ok, nvm [03:38] Wouldn't do it. something about a misplaced token or somesuch [03:39] i presume you are talking about the sudo password for your user... you had not actually created a root user? [03:39] i got the same message for root, and for my normal logon. [03:42] canis_: have you run a disk check? [03:43] A couple of weeks ago...I did just notice somethign strange...i use a program called lili to make usb keys in windows, and it says that my kubuntu 11.10 image is not recognized. [03:44] how do i go about verifying the MD5? [03:44] I mean lili has 11.10 in it's list, so I suppose my download is corrupted. [03:46] The interesting thing is that i am pretty sure that i used a torrent program to get it. [03:48] canis_: just type 'md5sum ' in a terminal [03:49] canis_: does not matter how you got it, you always check the reliability of your ISOs after downloading [03:50] i can do that in windows? [03:51] canis_: how do have a disk burning software in windows? [03:52] Yes? [03:53] canis_: nero? [03:53] I use imgburn but I see what you're getting at...I'll see if it can do taht. [03:54] canis_: ok [03:54] canis_: i am not sure how to check md5 sums in windows, but i'm sure it's not that difficult [03:55] canis_: i use cdburnerxp to burn in windows and there are dozen windows md5 checkers [03:55] I just found one [03:57] The MD5 checks out... [03:57] time for a reinstall. [03:58] yee haaw [03:58] I had used vuze to check the file against a new download, and that indicated that it was okay, but i don't really trust that. [03:59] be back in about an hour...Sheesh. === claydoh_ is now known as claydoh [04:25] sooo [04:26] That took like 20 minutes, and I have to reinstall all my software, which sort of sucks because I still haave all of my preferences available so far. === Guest76064 is now known as Canis_ === Canis_ is now known as Canis__ [04:33] hello there. [04:34] That took about 29 minues, and i at least have my prefs stil...wish i still had my software. [04:43] how do i open the software update window in kubuntu 11.10? [04:46] adarshajoisa: If you want to update the package cache, and then check for installed package updates, open a console and type: sudu apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:47] type: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [04:48] when i try apt-get update, it says: "Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead." [04:49] adarshajoisa: That means that you have one or more resources that are 'old'. Is this a new 11.10 installation or an upgrade from an earlier version? [04:50] Snowhog: nope, it's a fresh install. But i've added one or 2 PPAs manually, so i might've added the older versions. [04:51] adarshajoisa: It will be the PPAs then. A fresh install would be using the proper 11.10 repositories. [04:51] u [04:51] Snowhog: ok. how can i get the update working now? [04:52] exity [04:52] exit [04:52] adarshajoisa: It is working, it's just ignoring/not using one or more of your added PPAs. [04:53] Snowhog: ok. [04:54] adarshajoisa: You can check your PPA lists (in /etc/apt/sources.d/ and ensure that they reference oneiric and not an earlier version. [04:54] Snowhog: ok. thanks! will do that. [05:01] I cannot hibernate my laptop, it won't turn off if I select Hibernate from the KDE menu. [05:01] The screen just go black. [05:06] I am facing problems connecting to internet over 3g usb modem Huwavi 173 [05:07] Also the cd rom having .exe files is shown, can I install Mobile partner .exe file? ow? [05:09] some on please help me out if ther is a solution! [05:40] is there a way to set a password on a folder in kubuntu? [05:40] so that it needs a password to open? [05:43] #join kde [05:44] join #kde [05:45] myers: i think no in the sense that you mean, you can set it so only the owner (or maybe root) can view edit or delete the files, but its per user, not per password [05:46] well if some one uses or gets on my account i need to put passwords on some folders [05:46] what you could do myers is encrypt a folder, kde has some built in encryption tools, then it would talk a password to open, or use truecrypt to make a mountable virtual folder that needs a password [05:46] take not talk [05:47] what are the encryptions tools? where do i go to use them? [05:47] exit [05:49] myers: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory AND OR http://www.truecrypt.org/ [05:51] what one is better? [05:51] red apples and green apples [05:52] i personaly like truecrypt [05:53] is there anyway just to make it to where when the folder is clicked it ask for a password? [05:53] because, the virtual folder is portable, you can put it on a usb, it is dynamic, resizes asit needs too, is military grade encryption, [05:54] truecrypt cant do that persay, though it would be easy to make a short cut, it would maybe be possible to make a dolphin or natualis script to do it, (a line or two), [05:55] and if you forget your password, forget it, its all gone [05:55] unless its 1234 and why bother with military grade encrytion then? [05:55] myers: You might also want to look at the package encfs [05:57] where would i look for that? [05:57] myers: It's in the repos, so just open your package manager and search on encfs and read what it does. Also, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FolderEncryption [05:58] myers: you might come up with something using dropbox [05:58] if you dont have lots of storage [06:10] something i am still not clear on with apt based systems management is if there is a way to get one package (and its dependacies) from say an unstable repository, and only that one package (and depedencies), better, a way to have difffrent versions side by side [06:10] with out all the spit and glue flying apart in your face [06:12] phiscribe: have you heard of project-neon? [06:13] no i havent [06:13] phoenix_firebrd: [06:14] http://www.projectneon.org/ is dead atm, i that the one? [06:15] phiscribe: http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Using_Project_Neon_to_contribute_to_KDE [06:16] phiscribe: any software installed from project neon will be installed separately and hence it does not affect the current installation [06:18] phiscribe: since its a nightly build, its highly recommended for developers and testers only [06:19] not sure what the scoope kde is, was looking for a way to get newer digikam and kipi plugins immediealty, as when i use their ppa's its adding extra cruft that is killing updates, was also intersted in a more general solution, like having chromium 5, 6, 7 running side by side, but accessing libarries from that point in time [06:20] do linux apps when they start, look for needed libraries in the locale folder first, then follow the path? maybe i could just dump all the dependiceis in one folder and see what happens [06:21] phiscribe: ya they search for dependency in different places, i dont know if it does do like windows does [06:23] like always i can think of a dozen ways to rig it in linux and not one off the shelf lol [06:24] phiscribe: there are standalone apps that you can try [06:25] phiscribe: check this website http://portablelinuxapps.org/ [06:26] phiscribe: there is a collection of standalone apps, no installation needed [06:28] ill see what they have, i guess i could complile, just i hate having peices of stuff all over, i have not used gentoo, but ive heard they have asomething called slots, wonder if there is an apt equiv [06:28] a way to profile or overlay or something [06:30] phiscribe: i cant understand what you mean [06:32] slotting: Packages can support having multiple versions installed simultaneously. [06:33] phiscribe: oh, ok [06:33] im thinking my apt fu needs more focus, surely apts got something in it along these lines [06:34] i got configuration managment blues [06:34] phiscribe: sorry, got to go, bbl [06:35] phoenix_firebrd: just like to jaw, ill figure out soemthing or go sideways [06:35] thanks for an ear and a pulse hehe [06:35] phiscribe: :) === hp is now known as Guest86064 [07:30] hi === Kalidarn1 is now known as Kalidarn === ocs is now known as faLUCE === jussio1 is now known as jussi === root is now known as Guest2051 [09:09] http://repogen.simplylinux.ch if i generate sources.list with this site this will work well? anyone use it?

[16:21] Hello, can someone tell me how to change the background picture of kubunt 11.10? [16:23] Changing the background isnt possible anymore [16:24] kubuntuianer: Rightclick on open spot on desktop...Desktop Settings... then on the right side of the pane should be Layout, Wallpaper, Positioning and so on [16:24] genii-around: Thanks but there isnt a menu called "Desktop Settings" [16:25] kubuntuianer: What options ARE in the menu which appears? [16:27] genii-around: Create New - Paste Clipboard Content - Icons - Refresh Desktop - Open with Dolphin - Run Command - Activities - Unlock Widgets - Lock Screen - Leave - Folder View Settings [16:28] genii-around: Lol I found it [16:28] "Folder View Settings" [16:28] ^^ [16:28] Ah, you had your desktop set for Folder View [16:28] hi i installed the current kubuntu on my notebook and i got second screen plugged in. Now if i drag a program, e.g. dolphin to the second screen the program is in the background?! Does anybody got a suggestion on it? [16:29] genii-around:... yeah... thank you! [16:31] genii-around: do you know if it is somehow possible to change the login screen theme too? [16:31] >>> I mean login screen background === zz_Kalidarn is now known as Kalidarn [16:40] kubuntuianer: Should be in System Settings... Login Screen ( in the System Administration grouping ) [16:47] what is this? [16:49] jtr__ yes after apt-get [16:50] rotsy: type locate skype [16:51] rotsy: did you find skype binary? [16:55] yeah i'm still looking [16:56] jtr__ what's the extension of a binary file again ? [16:56] rotsy: its just skype no extension, thats how u identify it [16:57] rotsy: An executable file is identified by having its executable bit set. If you look at the file permissions, you can see if it's set or not. [16:58] !permissions | rotsy [16:58] rotsy: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [17:02] i couldn't find it [17:02] the binary file [17:02] i cant find it [17:03] rotsy: Does the command "which skype" give any output? [17:03] nope [17:03] If yes, that's the binary. If no, the binary is not in your path or not installed. [17:04] ok so what do i do ? [17:04] skype is located in partner repo, isn't it ? [17:05] "which skype" does not ouput anything, but i have already followed the steps here http://blog.sudobits.com/2011/04/25/how-to-install-skype-on-ubuntu-11-04/ [17:05] so how come? [17:05] OerHeks: Non-free/extra [17:05] OerHeks: apt-cache show skype [17:06] ic thanks DarthFrog [17:06] rotsy: type "sudo apt-get install skype" [17:07] unable to locate package skype [17:07] that's the output [17:07] rotsy: You don't have the proper repository enabled. [17:07] rotsy: You have to enable the "non-free" & "extras" repo. [17:07] rotsy: an advice -always type the nick of the person you are talking to, it shows a notification to the person, thats y i replied so late ( you can use tab to autocomplete the name if your IRC client allows that ) [17:08] jtr__: thanks for that [17:08] DarthFrog: how do i do that ? [17:08] rotsy: It allows for multiple conversations simultaneously. [17:08] rotsy: Use the package manager. [17:09] I don't use it so someone else will have to help you with it. [17:09] DarthFrog: can't he do that from his software sources? [17:10] jtr__: Yes. [17:10] rotsy: do that [17:10] jtr__: so how do i proceed then [17:10] rotsy: open software sources [17:10] i'm new to ubuntu mate [17:10] jtr__: Which will be part of the package manager, unless he edits the sources.list file manually. I don't think he wants to do that. :-) [17:10] DarthFrog: definetly not ;) [17:11] rotsy: wait i'll do it with you to tell you exacly what to do [17:11] jtr__: thanks [17:11] rotsy: Are you running Ubuntu or Kubuntu? [17:11] open muon [17:11] rotsy: open muon [17:11] DarthFrog: its #kubuntu [17:12] jtr__: Oh, I know that. Does he? [17:12] DarthFrog: lol xD [17:12] rotsy: ubuntu or kubuntu , what are u using? [17:12] jtr__: Ubuntu won't have muon. [17:12] yeah it's kubuntu ;) [17:12] DarthFrog: i know, but i assumed he had kubuntu [17:12] muon is open [17:12] rotsy: :) [17:12] rotsy: Good choice! :-) [17:13] rotsy: settings > configure software sources [17:13] jtr__: i prefer kde [17:13] rotsy: good :) [17:13] ok [17:13] jtr__: i'm ready [17:14] configure software sources then what [17:14] DarthFrog: help me from here [17:14] rotsy: you have to tick some options i think DarthFrog knows better , coz he gave you the advice in the first place [17:15] DarthFrog: how do i proceed from here on? [17:15] jtr__: thanks again [17:16] rotsy: Did you enable the repo? [17:17] rotsy: in other softwares tab check if independent is ticked, right DarthFrog? [17:17] no i don't think so [17:17]
