[01:09] Is there any way to get back to the desktop, after you go into this full-screen terminal by pressing ctrl + alt + F1, without rebooting? [01:10] hi, can somebody tell me the package name i would install to get some screensavers to choose from in kubuntu 12.04? i only have "blank screen" and "random" in my list right now === warren is now known as Guest19484 [01:11] NoiseCounselling: alt+ctrl+F7 [01:11] NoiseCounselling: Want me to teach you about what's happeneing? [01:11] giantpune: How do you install packages? [01:12] sudo apt-get install ... or synaptic package manager. im not a big fan for muon [01:13] giantpune: try apt-cache search screensaver | grep kde [01:13] no need for sudo [01:13] NoiseCounselling: I guess you are also the NoiseCounsellor? [01:14] dasKreech, the only one that pops up with that is kde-workspace-bin and i already have it installed [01:14] but in case you are in a hurry [01:14] !info kscreensaver | giantpune [01:14] giantpune: kscreensaver (source: kdeartwork): Additional screensavers for KScreenSaver. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:4.8.2-0ubuntu1 (precise), package size 474 kB, installed size 1529 kB [01:14] dasKreech: Thanks! And yes, I am. Pulled up the fullscreen terminal and ^C rebooted... :/ [01:15] NoiseCounselling: The Way that UNIX (and hence Linux) thinks about computers is that it expects multiple people to be using the computer at once. [01:15] woot. that gave me some to chose from [01:16] Each person would have their own terminal and can interact with the system without disturbing anyone else [01:16] giantpune: :-) [01:16] daskreech: it is the usb ethernet adapter...i found it in the lsusb list but i cannot get it to work [01:16] NoiseCounselling: In the new brave world of only having one computer Linux gives you VTs or virtual terminals [01:17] Those are by default spawned on boot and exist on alt+Ctrl+F1 to alt+ctrl+F7 [01:18] sunitasethi: can you apstebin lspci ? [01:18] ppastebin [01:18] what is that daskreech? [01:18] i am new to ubuntu [01:19] NoiseCounselling: So when you press alt+ctrl+F1 you are not switching to a new command line you are switching to another computer terminal [01:19] sunitasethi: What is pastebin ? [01:19] yes [01:19] or lspci ? [01:19] !pastebin | sunitasethi [01:19] sunitasethi: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [01:19] Ah, so is that this whole tty1. tty2 etc business? guess tty1 defaults to text for compatibility or something? [01:19] NoiseCounselling: By default the Graphic interface is put on termianl 7 [01:19] NoiseCounselling: Yes [01:19] ok [01:20] NoiseCounselling: It would be better to say that 7 defaults to GUI for incompatibilty with the old fogeys :) [01:20] yes daskreech i put in lspci [01:21] i do not see the ethernet adapter [01:21] sunitasethi: Ok go to paste.ubuntu.com and paste the output in there. It will give you a new URL. Give us the URL here [01:23] NoiseCounselling: It is useful however since if you really really mess up things in one terminal (Say the GUI) you can just jump to another one login and fix the problem [01:23] They are segregated [01:24] dasKreech: Wow, thanks! I'm trying to read up it all, but I have to admit, it's lot to learn. [01:25] 1 [01:25] 2 [01:25] 3 [01:25] 4 [01:25] 5 [01:25] 6 [01:25] 7 [01:25] 8 [01:25] 9 [01:25] 10 [01:25] 11 [01:25] 12 [01:25] 13 [01:25] 14 [01:25] 15 [01:25] 16 [01:25] 17 [01:25] 18 [01:25] 19 [01:25] 20 [01:25] 21 [01:25] 22 [01:25] sunitasethi: What are you doing? [01:26] i think those were the line numbers from pastie he copied and pasted [01:26] NoiseCounselling: Ha yeah I used to encourage learning as much as you can but now I just direct people to learn about what's possible. As much as you can is slightly more than the lifespan of most people [01:26] Oh dear [01:27] sunitasethi: Sorry I meant just the URL from paste.ubuntu.com [01:27] hello [01:28] sunitasethi: Please don't paste flood like that. [01:28] IdleOne: Think he was following my badly explained instructions [01:29] dasKreech: happens. [01:29] sorry idle [01:29] no worries. [01:29] sunitasethi: The URL only is needed please [01:29] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002242/ [01:30] you see daskreech...this is the output for lsusb [01:30] not how to i get the speedstream to work? [01:31] the lspci output is http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002236/ ? [01:31] ues [01:31] yes [01:31] i do not see Bus 002 Device 016: ID 067c:1001 Efficient Networks, Inc. Siemens SpeedStream 100MBps Ethernet there [01:31] i see it in lsusb [01:31] sunitasethi: Right I'm looking at it. The Gigabit Ethernet doesn't work? [01:32] thats lsusb, not lspci [01:32] that is the interal ethernt that is not working [01:32] sunitasethi: Right that means that when you plugged it in it identifiedd itself but Linux has no drivers for it [01:32] how do i get the driver? [01:32] sunitasethi: as in doesn't work at all or doesn't work under Linux? [01:33] what about dmesg? [01:33] i do not have the driver for it [01:33] the driver cd is for windows 2000 [01:33] sunitasethi: I know seems to be a issue for speedstream devices. Do you know what model it is? [01:34] sunitasethi: can you pastebin the output of dmesg ? [01:34] it is ss1001 [01:35] sunitasethi: looks like http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/110PTR45WYL._SL500_AA300_.jpg ? [01:35] yes [01:35] that is it [01:36] ok [01:37] the dmesg output is very long [01:37] shuld i send it? [01:37] the last 10 or 20 lines should be good enough [01:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002253/ [01:39] this is for dmesg [01:39] looks like line 191 may be it [01:40] yes [01:40] how do i get it to work..i do not have the ubuntu driver for it [01:40] giantpune: Lots of cannot enumerate USB 6 [01:41] you can unplug it and plug it back in and see the end of that output and see which one it is [01:41] or dmesg -c [01:43] dmesg -c did not work [01:43] I see someone getting the 1012 to work [01:43] how do i get the driver for this? [01:44] sunitasethi: doesn't seem as if one was ever done. :-/ [01:44] And apparently they had Linux support on the box for it [01:44] yes [01:44] On the site they have Linux support coming soon. When it came out in like 2002 [01:45] well it is surely detected [01:45] 10 years is possibly not a common definition of soon [01:46] just cannot get it to show in the network list [01:46] sunitasethi: Yes that means the card is working. It announces itself on the USB bus [01:47] someone suggested this http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002262/ [01:47] but i coud not get it to work [01:49] Right since it breaks at lspci [01:49] so now? [01:49] Ok there seems to be a pegasus driver that address speedstream USB in general. [01:50] I'm guessing that's if it's using the pegasus network controller [01:52] dazkreech: can anything be done? [01:52] Possibly but it does seem like an obscure problem. [01:53] where did you buy it? [01:53] Ok it does seem to use the pegasus chipset [01:54] So may just take adding the edid to the recognized list for that driver [01:54] Hopefully >_> [01:55] Seems a load of people are having issues having it recognized on vista as well so it's possible that it uses some variant of the chipset firmware that makes it unique [01:56] ebay [01:56] not sure [01:57] dasKreech: If there was nothing left to learn, what would be the fun in that? Appreciate the lesson. Thanks! Still, I also believe in learning by doing and I'd rather ask a question and get an answer than be stuck and/or abort. For example: I'm currently setting up a second machine but the screen keeps freezing. I accidentally switched to the fullscreen terminal on this box instead of the other and got stuck. I knew how to get there and [01:57] thought about it like some sort of emergency tool only. Also. that's why I'm replying like, half an hour late... [01:57] sunitasethi: Do you have a /lib/modules directory ? [01:58] NoiseCounselling: so you believe in learning by doing but rather ask a question that get stuck? :) seems contradictory [01:58] no [01:58] NoiseCounselling: but alt+ctrl+F7 should should get you bcak to where you are comfortable [01:59] daskreech how can i find out? [01:59] NoiseCounselling: You can log into here from the terminal as well. I often advise people to learn how to do that in casethey horribly break something [01:59] sunitasethi: ls /lib/modules [02:00] i cant even find the section for ethernet stuff on their website. they have siemens bullet trains, windmill power plants, washers and driers, ... . but no ethernet adapters [02:00] type in lib/modules ? [02:01] sunitasethi: ls before it. [02:01] sunitasethi: It's a directory so ls lists your files [02:01] and /lib/modules is where it exists [02:02] the first / is important [02:02] ok [02:02] !info irssi | NoiseCounselling [02:02] NoiseCounselling: irssi (source: irssi): terminal based IRC client. In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.15-4ubuntu3 (precise), package size 870 kB, installed size 2396 kB [02:04] dasKreech: I mean _occassionally_ ask questions or for help. All theory is useless, if you have no opportunity to use it. I guess in the end I prefer whichever provides more benefit in the long term. I mean, I don't have a man tty1 and man tty didn't tell me how to get back, either. When I somehow broke KWin by switching to an incompatible rendering device I managed to fix it perfectly fine with nothing but tty and vim, hehe. [02:04] NoiseCounselling: Ha ha excellent :) [02:05] NoiseCounselling: I think I'd like the theory on waht happens to the lungs after 6 minutes of breathing underwater over teh practical [02:05] NoiseCounselling: but most theory is only warm fuzzies without actual use :) [02:05] i'd say the lungs fill with water [02:06] daskreech i have the windows 2000 driver cd for the adapter [02:06] sunitasethi: Yes but that doesn't even work on windows any more [02:07] hi cancer [02:08] dasKreech: hey [02:08] yes i know [02:08] sunitasethi: how are you online now? Wireless? [02:09] hi ronnoc [02:11] bye ronnoc XD [02:12] any luck daskreech? [02:12] dasKreech: what's the problem? [02:13] why are you asking about wireless? [02:13] $3 usb-ethernet adapter from ebay said it was supported in linex, but it isnt working out-of-the-box === unit193_ is now known as TheDrums [02:15] sunitasethi: can you pastebin the output of ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net ? [02:17] ops sorry, dasKreech i was mistaken. [02:17] is it important to have 2 nick. [02:18] sunitasethi: ack wait. ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net [02:18] cancer: :-) [02:20] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002289/ [02:20] here das [02:21] sunitasethi: Is that the second comamand I gave you?

[02:21] You can use tab it finish the spelling of my name [02:21] Makes life much easier [02:21] Works on the terminal as well [02:22] NoiseCounselling: Hopefully you know about the above too [02:22] no [02:22] i used the 1st [02:22] an you pastebin the output of ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/net ? [02:22] ok [02:23] ty [02:23] thanks [02:23] thank u dasKreech [02:23] sunitasethi: Sorry I'm looking for drivers. try ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/usb [02:23] That should give the drivers you have available for USB ethernet cards [02:24] or wireless. [02:24] or cable >_> [02:24] dasKreech: auto-completion by pressing tab I knew. Yesterday, I found out you could simply "cd directory" instead of "cd ./directory/" [02:25] NoiseCounselling: Ah that's helpful. I presume you know the difference betwenn absolute and relative paths? Please don't humble my presumptious nature :) [02:26] I know that /path/to is relative and that C:\Useless\Folder would be an example for absolute! :) I figure relaitve applies to wherever you are inside the file structure and absolute always starts at the root directory? [02:29] did not work [02:29] the command was not ofund [02:29] found [02:33] sunitasethi: "ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/usb" doesn't work, because command wasn't found? "ls" is a small L, not an I. I used to think it was an I when I got started... [02:34] sunitasethi: command not found? ls ? [02:36] it did [02:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002299/ this is it [02:37] what dasKreech said did not [02:37] what NoiseCounselling said did [02:37] hooray NoiseCounselling :) [02:38] "ls /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/usb" worked [02:38] Ah ok so you have pegasus [02:38] pegsus? [02:38] sunitasethi: pegasus.ko That should be the driver for the ethernet card [02:38] It's just not being loaded (hopefully) [02:39] ok [02:39] k [02:39] hw do i get it to load? [02:40] daskreech is there a driver for windows 7?? [02:40] dasKreech: how to activate dictionary for kubuntu to check spellings either in here.:) [02:41] dictionary? [02:41] cancer: I think that you can type alt=F2 -> dict: word [02:41] But that may have been something I did myself [02:41] There is a dictioanry widget [02:41] i have xchat and it has spellchecking already [02:41] oh spellings [02:41] cancer: alt+F2 -> spell word_that_speel_horriably [02:42] also auto-replace. usually i misspell "the" so i got xchat to fix it automatically for me [02:43] dasKreech: it's a Joke right :D | 'spell word_that_speel_horriably' :p [02:44] giantpune: but "teh" is one of the greatest ways to emphazise something! [02:44] sunitasethi: sudo insmod /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/drivers/net/usb/pegasus.ko [02:44] cancer: yes :) but it should work it will give you the proper speeling :) [02:44] NoiseCounselling: aint' that teh truth! [02:44] no response [02:45] s working [02:45] is working i think [02:45] it is looking for wired connetion [02:45] sunitasethi: Shooooo [02:45] Works :-) [02:46] Now we need to get Linux to associate the USB with that driver [02:46] Well let me not rejoice [02:46] let m wait till it gets an IP [02:47] sorry [02:47] it keeps disconnecting [02:47] i also have wireless on [02:47] not sure why [02:48] rejoice fail [02:48] yo everyone, good day. I have kubuntu 12.04 installed, but have started using Xmonad. I have some things in .xinitrc, such as xset for keyboard rate, but they don't appear to be running when start xmonad by default from kdm. Does .xinitrc not run by default? is there somewhere else I should place these? I made a symlink from .xinitrc->.xsession, but that didn't help either. Cheers [02:49] xixor_: Yes it reads it [02:49] sunitasethi__: So it doesn't get an IP? [02:49] daskreech it reads it but keeps disconnecting [02:49] it is connecting [02:49] ok so may need to modify the driver [02:49] ok [02:49] dasKreech: my .xinitrc has the following: exec xset r rate 250 35 & [02:50] dasKreech: and: exec xcompmgr &, but neither appear to be running? Any suggestions? cheers [02:50] how dasKreech [02:50] Why do you have & and exec ? [02:50] no idea [02:51] dasKreech: is it a one or the other? [02:51] ah well exec destroys the shell so nothing after that line will be executed anyway as far as I remember [02:51] oh really? [02:51] So that makes the & redundant [02:52] It's essentially killing it's parent and taking it's place [02:52] what is inxi for? [02:52] cancer: where did you see it? [02:52] dasKreech: I have multiple commands in .xinitrc, should I be using & on all of them without exec? I tried that, but the commands didn't seem to run [02:52] xixor_: yeah I'd take out eh exec [02:52] how descreech? [02:53] how do i get the disconnecting and connecting loop to connect? [02:53] dasKreech: alright, thanks, cheers mate [02:53] Note: It is important that only one exec line is uncommented, or else only the first uncommented line will be run <-- xixor_ [02:53] the last line would be something like exec xmonad [02:53] dasKreech: it keeps disconnecting [02:54] sunitasethi__: ermm I'll try and get some help since a) I'm leaving soon and b)it's starting to go out of my depth. [02:54] ok [02:54] thanks [02:54] sadreech well the cable is on [02:54] it is working [02:55] it is just not maintaining connection [02:55] dasKreech: why is it disconnecting? [02:56] sunitasethi__: I'd need to look at the NM logs [02:56] Network Manager logs [02:56] What is going on with freenode? Is someone attacking the servers again? [02:57] k [02:57] where are the logs dasKreech? [03:01] sorry dasKreech where is the log? where do i find it [03:01] sunitasethi__: grep -i networkmanager /var/log/syslog [03:01] i am a novice [03:02] sunitasethi__: It's ok. almost all logs that are not made by you personally running your own personal program (like IRC) will be in /var/log [03:03] If it's a personal program then it will be in your home directory [03:03] dasKreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002310/ === cancer is now known as shan [03:03] this is the log for "grep -i networkmanager /var/log/syslog" === shan is now known as cancer [03:04] i have the wireless connection on also dasKreech [03:04] ccan both be on? === cancer is now known as shan === shan is now known as cancer [03:05] sunitasethi__: Yes it will just choose the faster/less congested [03:06] dasKreech: can both be connected? [03:06] sunitasethi__: hi [03:06] I've seen computers with 6 cards in there [03:06] ok [03:06] so how come this is not connecting? dasKreech [03:07] how do you highlight the messages here? [03:08] sunitasethi__: just have someone say your name [03:08] Your IRC client will colour it [03:08] ok [03:08] k [03:09] did you see the log dasKreech? [03:09] Yes [03:09] will this work "lshw -C Network" [03:09] could be a NM bug instead of the driver this time [03:09] sunitasethi__: I don't know. Try it. It will list your hardware network cards [03:10] ls = list hw = hardware [03:10] ok [03:10] the wired network is not connecting at all now [03:10] it did connect [03:11] i dont know what happened [03:13] sunitasethi__: try service network-manager restart. it will kick you off the net though [03:14] k [03:15] dasKreech: in the ipv6 settings tab (same area as where for ipv4 you set "shared to other computers") change "automatic" to "ignore". This looks like it works [03:17] sunitasethi__: Ah well it was turning off right after the IPv6 [03:21] dasKreech: u there? [03:23] dasKreech: the connection is established as shown but still not connected [03:28] sunitasethi: not sure that means what I think it means [03:28] so it says it's connected but it really isn't? [03:28] yes [03:28] yes dasKreech [03:29] wired connection established [03:29] but without wireless router connection it does not connect to the server [03:29] my firefox pages say that no server [03:30] and irc disconnects dasKreech [03:31] sunitasethi: ok can you pastebin the output if ip a [03:31] of [03:32] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002320/ dasKreech [03:32] the connection is not there but says established [03:32] dasKreech: [03:34] sunitasethi: It says no carrier [03:34] ? [03:34] the adapter's light is on [03:34] It can't detect the cable [03:34] Yeah but something is up [03:35] Where is it getting the 10.42. IP address from? [03:35] the wired connection is showing in network connections [03:35] i do not know where the ip address is set [03:36] the router maybe? [03:36] ip address is from the router [03:36] is it not? [03:37] dasKreech: router? [03:38] dasKreech: i am using the router's wireless connection and this is the wored [03:38] sunitasethi: Yes I just wanted to know if that was familiar. Is it the same router that has the wireless? [03:38] wired [03:38] yes [03:38] Hmm a little strange [03:38] ubuntu is connected wirelessly and i am trying this wired connection [03:39] normally it would be giving out the same netmask So if your wireless gets a 192.168 ip address the wired would get one as well not 10.42 [03:39] Not impossible but still a little strange [03:39] ok [03:40] JontheEchidna: ping [03:42] dasKreech: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002324/ see this [03:42] i changed the wired connection setting to default settings [03:42] see [03:43] dasKreech: see this [03:43] http://paste.ubuntu.com/1002324/ [03:43] ok [03:43] dasKreech: i had changed the settings...now back to default and now there is no connection at all [03:44] it is looking for connections dasKreech [03:44] sunitasethi: can you type sudo dhclient eth3 and see what it does [03:45] nothing [03:45] JontheEchidna: Who would be the person to talk to about networking ? [03:45] sunitasethi: as in it returns without saying anything?

[03:54] in terminal there is a white square flashing dasKreech [03:56] the light is stable [03:56] dasKreech [03:57] ok [03:57] and the terminal hasn't returned ? [03:58] yes [03:58] OK I'm going to guess the driver needs some tweaking. do you need this working right now? [03:58] ok [03:59] well will take long? [03:59] I have no idea. Tahat [03:59] i hate this [03:59] That's the issue right now. There is very little information I have on this [03:59] ok [04:00]
