[00:07] zacarias: I really don't know what happens when you are doing it from the gui standpoint [00:08] zacarias: sshfs is a process to get to work on snow leopard [00:08] zacarias: http://andrewmallis.com/blog/2011/03/28/mounting-remote-filesystems-on-osx-snow-leopard-using-sshfs-macfuse-and-macfusion [00:08] zacarias: http://linux.fjfi.cvut.cz/~tomik/personal/?p=93 [00:08] zacarias: but so is getting samba working [00:10] guest12345: ok, thanks [00:11] zacarias: np, sorry I couldn't be of more help [00:11] giantpune: wb [00:12] giant:pune g'bye === yoshi is now known as Guest60542 [00:12] Daskreech: scared him away [00:12] hi there. [00:13] Does anyone is having troubles when trying to install wine in amd64 machines? [00:13] log_null: no, what troubles are you having specifically [00:14] I'm using aptitude to do it and aptitude always claims to solve a lot of unsolved dependencies. [00:14] Specially i386 packages... [00:15] log_null: I have run into problems with multiarch support in the past... however this is not specifically for wine... [00:15] guest12345: well i'm trying to figure out how to not use multiarch, just amd64. There's a way? [00:16] This is the sources.list I'm using http://pastebin.com/xx7anF5g . Just it, nothing more (double checked). [00:16] log_null: try going to /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch and comment out one line that is in there with the pound sign # [00:17] log_null: then do apt-get update [00:17] log_null: then use apt-get instead of aptitude [00:18] log_null: use 'aptitude search ' to get the wine package you want to install, then do apt-get install [00:18] hello everyone [00:18] guest12345: Yeah... I've noticed that aptitude is making a lot of noise, specially when doing "aptitude -f install" [00:18] ? [00:18] log_null: I don't know why (i'lve loved aptitude for years) but I don't think ubuntu supports aptitude anymore [00:19] Since past aptitude was a good tool to manage .deb packages, I have no idea why in the hell aptitude becomes a riot program... :( [00:19] guest12345: Maybe we should call it to The Grid, hehehe [00:26] Well, it didn't solved. Anyway, thanks for your time, pals. [00:26] anyone knows how does that "windows pop up message" on kopete works? [00:27] dtrules: Hmm? [00:27] The one when you get a message? [00:27] press ctrl+shift+i and it will process the message [00:27] yes but I'm trying to configure it [00:28] ah to do what [00:28] to send.. pop up messages to a windows pc? [00:29] guest12345: Ytour turn :) [00:30] dtrules: Run kopete on the windows computer? :) [00:31] dtrules: in the config, can you set it to run a script? [00:31] dtrules: on that event? [00:32] I'm a newbie on this GNU/linux thing :S [00:33] dtrules: That's fine what would you like it to do? [00:33] dtrules: in Kopete... settings->configure notifications... [00:34] ok, I want to know how that pop up window thing works [00:34] dtrules: in configure notifications there is 'incoming message' [00:34] if i can send a pop up message to a friend with windows [00:34] dtrules: when you click that there is 'run command' [00:34] dtrules: On a technical basis or just what triggers it? [00:35] dtrules: Ah. Well You can. WIndow has a program called winpopup that we abused horribly in University [00:35] But the kopete popup requires a notification library that Windows doesn't ship with [00:35] dtrules: from there you will have to create a file (and do some research to learn some more about this *nix stuff ;-) [00:35] just for fun u know [00:35] ok then [00:36] dtrules: the first line of the file should be (called shebang line): #!/bin/sh [00:36] You used to be able to do a lot more of that till spammers started taking over windows machines to popup spam messages during the WIndows XP lifetime so Windows is really really paranoid about external popup requests now [00:37] dtrules: then you will have to figure out the rest... windows has a 'net send ' command to sent messages to another computer (popups also) and I think there should be an equivalent command to do that to a windows computer in linux also [00:37] dtrules: I'm sure there are ways to do it but some may require modifying your friend's computer before hand [00:37] So It's not so easy :S [00:37] one that i used to use was a program called hamaichi which allowed you to view another computer somewhere in the world as if it was on your hard drive but as a plus came with a messaging popup so you can chat with the other computer [00:38] !script [00:38] thank you guys but I dont think I'll do it by myself xD [00:38] dtrules: I'd say it's easy but it's not trivial [00:38] I see [00:38] Which is probably how I'd describe a lot of things on Windows :-/ [00:39] dtrules: or setup your own xmpp server :) [00:39] I'll bother you for one more thing. I have some problems with graphics [00:39] Sure [00:39] what kind ? [00:39] I have an Intel Processor with a graphic GMA 500 chipset [00:41] when it boots [00:41] the screen goes black [00:41] and I have to press F7, to make the graphic enviroment start [00:41] oh [00:41] dtrules: is it a dell? [00:41] I dont know what F/ does but it works that way [00:41] yes it is [00:42] dtrules: and you installed a new graphics card? [00:42] no It's the one that comes with it [00:42] on board [00:42] It ships with two video cards maybe? [00:42] when I close this netbook, and then open it again, I have a very big grey line on the bottom of the screen [00:43] dtrules: have you checked out your bios settings? [00:43] and i can't see that part [00:43] hmm no It's the graphics that comes with the proccesor.. I think [00:43] no I haven't. what should I look for? [00:44] dtrules: try connecting the vga port of your laptop to a monitor to see if you can see if any messages come up, other than that... it sounds like a dell bios problem [00:45] If I press for example, f2 f3 f4 f5 f6 all that "shells"(DK what to call them) works fine [00:46] I get a KDE notification, every time I boot ubuntu [00:46] failing to report it everytime :S [00:46] dtrules: is it happening before or after the posts? [00:46] dtrules: (posts -> power on self tests) [00:47] dtrules: alt+f7 ? [00:48] ctrl*alt*f7 [00:48] sorry I forgot to mention that [00:48] :S [00:48] dtrules: ok That makes sense then :) [00:48] When you don't press it what happens? [00:49] The screen is black [00:51] If I dont press anything the screen just stays black [00:51] After pressing ctrl alt f7, i get this KDE error message, and another one saying the folder for contacts does not exist [00:51] dtrules: so, when you are in the 'graphic environment' and you press ctrl-alt-f<1|2|3...> is it all black? [00:51] hrrm Well it should pop up the Grahical interface [00:52] Or does it say login? [00:52] dtrules: Ah Ok If we get that error we can probably sort out why X isn't starting [00:52] if Im at graphic e. and press c a f1 2 3 4 It gets to the shell [00:52] tty1 tty2 and so on [00:53] It doesnt say login [00:53] I press ctrl alt f7 and theres a windows [00:53] dtrules: ok, just making sure that there wasn't a frame buffer resolution issue [00:53] window sorry [00:53] and some icons will appear [00:53] a hard disk, etc [00:53] dtrules: that's you logging in [00:53] I dont get any login window [00:53] dtrules: is there any clue in your /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [00:54] ok but I'm never prompted to press anything [00:54] hmm let me check [00:54] dtrules: or ~/.xsession-errors? [00:54] if you could speak less technical, that will help :S sorry [00:55] dtrules: your home directory /home//.xsession-errors (~/ is a shortcut on the command line) [00:56] I've opened Xorg.0.log [00:56] what am I looking for here? [00:57] dtrules: look for any line that contains EE [00:57] ok [00:59] nothing [00:59] ok, it is going to take a bit of reading, but check out you xsession-errors [01:00] dtrules: (don't forget the dot! /home//.xsession-errors) [01:01] ok how do it open it by shell? [01:01] dtrules: do you know how to use vim? [01:01] whats the command for reading the file [01:01] vim? [01:02] what do you normally use? [01:02] kate? [01:02] I have no idea man :S [01:02] what is that? vim, kate? [01:03] ok, go to the shell and type: kate ~/.xsession-errors [01:03] Daskreech: any suggestions? [01:04] Daskreech: I'm a vim guy myself [01:05] its open [01:06] what do I do now [01:07] read [01:07] see if anything in there seems to say any reason why it isn't starting [01:07] ok [01:07] I don't know what to tell you to look for [01:08] reading then, I'll paste here If I see something suspicious [01:09] dtrules: sorry man, i got to go... [01:10] ok thank you [01:10] dtrules: you may see somthing in there that may give you a clue, if you do, google the error and you will probably get the solution [01:10] sorry for bothering you [01:10] thanks for your help [01:10] np [01:10] good luck!

[03:11] qbit: try using a different mirror, i am guessing the load balancing or whatever mechanism used to route traffic to various servers is acting up [03:13] oh well, hope they fix it soon [03:14] bbl === ubuntu is now known as heyaswo [04:24] qbit: i have been having the same complaint. PPA & us.archive.ubuntu.com repos are all ridiculously slow. it's been that way for a while now [04:24] JMichaelX: lots of people use Ubuntu [04:25] Daskreech: that has always been the case, what does that have to do with the slow servers? [04:26] Daskreech: a few days ago, it took me over 35 minutes to download an nvidia driver from a PPA [04:27] Well I would guess canonical only has so many servers. They have launchpad and ppas where the use of them doesn't always reflect canonical's interests === gry is now known as Gryllida [04:28] They also have a lot of dev going on as well as deals with hardware manufacturers which means lots of unit tests [04:28] Could just be that they have more CPU time being used than they have CPU power [04:29] Course I am speculating and that doesn't help your video card get new code any faster [04:29] Daskreech: that is possible, but it does not changethe fact that they are very slow, to the point of occasionally even timing out [04:29] File a bug [04:30] i'm positive they are aware of the issue [04:30] me too but they are likely to respond to a bug. [04:31] (most likely to close it) [04:32] you may be right, although i would not have necessarily felt would accelerate anything. [04:34] Didn't say it would accelerate just that they are more likely to respond to it [04:34] ok, that makes sense [05:15] hello [05:15] any smart people here [05:15] hello?

[05:34] qbit: It appears that the powers that be have throttled the servers back over the last couple of days. I have no idea why, but the same thing was done at release of 1204. [05:34] JMichaelX: and up until about 3-4 days ago this 'problem' didn't exist [05:34] hey , I should br in bed too :) [05:35] be [05:35] it was not this slow at the release - I upgraded from 11.10 to 12.04 and it wasn't like this [05:35] they dropped to 50Kbs. [05:36] What is your speed now? [05:36] earlier tonight it took 45 minutes to download 30MB worth of updates [05:37] bottom is abouit 13 KB/s, but it fluctuates at around 20 or so [05:37] even saw 9 briefly once [05:37] 12.04 seems fast enough , but if you are using dns servers they should be listed in /etc/network/interfaces ...or so I've been informed [05:38] qbit: yes, that sounds like what i have been seeing. however, i started seeing this around 6 days ago (when i did a fresh install on my netbook) [05:38] nothing has changed here either since before, or since this started [05:39] other than looking for updates when they come out [05:39] they have a problemm it's not here.... [05:39] qbit: same here. i see the same thing both here at home, and at work, where i have a gigabit connection [05:40] qbit, that is about 90kbps [05:40] again... I believe they have throttled down [05:41] I have fiber here which is 15Mb/s and that is 1.8MB.s throughput I can do all day every day [05:41] and that affects a throttled server how? [05:41] even throttling down to 256 is fine [05:42] down to 13 is twice the speed of a 56K dialup modem [05:42] qbit: it can get worse. i have had it time out on me, at least once [05:42] L3top: that is what I mean by I know the problem is not me [05:43] absolutely correct [05:43] qbit: no, others are seeing the same thing [05:43] not you [05:43] who would be privy to why is outside of my reach to be sure [05:43] they'll fix it I'm sure - just wondering if 'they know or does someone need to tell 'them' [05:44] qbit: i'm not sure how they couldn't know [05:44] lol [05:44] however I do not belive it is a "problem" as much as a "solution" [05:45] i hope they are speedier at fixing this issue than google is with fixing problems with their repo [05:45] oh god - that Google repo I disabled [05:46] got tired of that real quick [05:47] google does some great things, but they can also be great about dragging their arses... especially if it involved an issue that does not rake in large profits [05:47] one of my repos servers had a package upload fail , so we were having update errors , but at least the rest of the package upgrades weren't blocked [05:47] qbit... want to do an experiment? [05:47] BluesKaj: there may have been a timeout when that mirror was trying to update, or something [05:48] nope - what I am going to do is go to bed, I've been up since 4 in the morning yesterday [05:48] and I am about to fall asleep [05:49] JMichaelX, perhaps , but I checked every 2 hrs or so and it wasn't fixed for 6hrs [05:49] BluesKaj: interesting [05:49] BluesKaj: want to do an experiment? [05:49] lol [05:49] see you guys later....

[05:57] what it does is check your location against a list of repositories, and grabs the one which pings quickest [05:57] I am curious if the mirrors suffer the same throttle [06:03] L3top, i get erroes on 2 on of the debs ,and it changed my mirror tocustom instead of normal server for Canada ...partial packages as well ...like earlier today [06:05] the mirror I used this morning was waterloo U , but this server is some other server that's default for Canada [06:06] now I get a lot of duplicate sources list entries , L3top === JMichaelX is now known as JMichaelHipster === JMichaelHipster is now known as JMichaelX [06:09] L3top, I added the repos you listed and thats what happend, above === Gryllida is now known as gry [06:15] anyway gents , sacktime here [06:16] night nall [06:16] err all [06:18] hi, I'm using kubuntu 11.10 and for some reason when I pop in a dvd and try to load it in Kaffeine, it gives me an error " Error reading from: Error reading NAV packet" [06:18] suggestions?

I do ./filename.bin and it outputs "bash: ./filename.bin: No such file or directory" but if I do "ls" the file is there. the file name has no non-printable chars (I checked with ls | cat -v) and the permissions are 777. I have no clue why I can't execute it. (I could execute it just fine in a debian box) [07:40] Neo139: Try running it with the full path. [07:40] I get the same results :\ [07:42] Neo139: You are on the ssh, and not mistakenly on locahost?

[07:43] yes. this is so strange [07:43] ls prints the file name in green [07:43] that means something? [07:44] So let me get this straight, ls ./ gives you the file. But running it says not found?

[08:44] It can't find sound [08:44] drivers* [08:44] no sound [08:45] Even after I install drivers [08:45] mega0wn3r: Can kmix find your audio cards? [08:46] What's kmix? [08:47] mega0wn3r: Kmix is the volume icon you see on the bottom right. [08:47] Then yes it does. [08:48] It says it needs codecs to play mp3s too. [08:48] in amarok [08:48] That might be why amarok doesn't work. [08:49] I got the codecs and it keeps saying it needs them [08:49] All my other sound works [08:49] You've installed what is it called? Kubuntu-restricted-extras?
