[00:19] trying to add a global-shortcut to a sh-file, any idea how to sucess? [00:21] defaultuser: a sh file? [00:22] yep [00:22] adding a global-shortcut that runs a sh-file in the terminal [00:24] ah [00:26] ok forget about it, got it working ^^ [00:26] cheers, have a nice day :) [00:28] Ok [00:28] You can do that from the menu editor === graft_ is now known as graft [01:54] I came in here to ask for help, but I just solved my own problem [01:55] gj =] [01:56] For anyone else experiencing the same issue as I was, anyone with an AMD card running propietary drivers, and your HDMI is overscanning, try "sudo aticonfig --set-dispattrib=dfpX,sizeX/Y:number" using xrandr to find out what your display name is. [01:56] And then at the end ",positionX/Y:0" [01:56] My display was a square in the middle of my screen surrounded by six inch black borders after I installed my AMD drivers. :[ [01:57] I've never had an OS before where I'd use a command-line at least twenty times a day [02:11] Ephos: how did you find that out? [02:11] Ephos: I used Windows 3.1 does that count? :) [02:12] same here, Daskreech =] [02:12] dir/w =P [02:13] having poked fun. I do really like the command line and other than the painful memory burden I think it's an elegant method of communication [02:13] yeah; I love it for lots of things, dislike it for more complicated things [02:13] like, complicated things that belong in a gui [02:23] Daskreech, I typed aticonfig into konsole [02:23] Then I read slowly [02:24] * Daskreech husg Ephos with tears in his eyes [02:24] Someone who reads! [02:24] poetic_algebra: what belongs in a gui? I've found one thing that I can't do pretty well on the command line [02:26] I think anything that requires more than four/five commands in the terminal probably needs a gui [02:28] Daskreech: I think Ephos has the right idea [02:29] Ephos: depends on the context. [02:29] you can do everything in the cli, but it's not always the most efficient or convenient method [02:29] Installing Oracle Java was a PITA.. someone made a repository with an installer package, and they got huge <3s from me for that [02:30] https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/java [02:30] sometimes you just want a tic box rather than a long command [02:30] like, an example [02:31] you can color the terminal prompt [02:31] but it's a string of hard-to-remember symbols [02:31] it'd just be easier to go Preferences --> color command prompt, and select a color [02:31] poetic_algebra: agreed but I think more things are easily done with a single extendable core than the rainbow coloured playroom that GUIs can be [02:32] yeah, trust me, I love the cli; it just isn't perfect for everything [02:32] Ephos: Yeah packaging is so great. I'm glad the rest of the world is slowly starting to catch on [02:32] I prefer to apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade over using the gui, because it's silly to commit the resources to that [02:32] and the load time is so much more [02:32] poetic_algebra: Oh no. It's not but I prefer it as a base with GUIs where it makes sense than GUIs and CLI's as a workaround (See Windows) [02:33] ah, yes, I'm in strong agreement there === ashkan is now known as arch [02:34] one of these days I'd love to wade into the arch waters, speaking of cli =] [02:38] Ephos: CLI I must admit is not nearly as compelling without scripting [02:38] I hope that when we move to the next level of CLI someone will remember that [04:06] yo [04:08] hey, I do not use IRC pretty much ever, but I want some help with Inkscape tonight, and I wonder what channel I might join for that? === kish_ is now known as kish [05:01] hello everyone [05:01] welcome [05:03] anybody in this room??

Thanks! === yofel_ is now known as yofel [10:46] Hi all [10:53] morning [10:58] up early too eh , 'morning [11:22] im up most days at this time [11:22] just moving slow the last few days here must be the heat [11:33] rained here for a couple hrs last night , cooled things off [11:33] yep a bit of rain this morning . should clear by noon i think [11:35] was just looken at zorin os wondering why so many linux os out there ,,, [11:35] seems to be to many i think [11:43] ppl , keep creating derivatives of the 5 or 6 basic OSs [11:48] can anyone help me with following error: http://pastebin.com/wTWLxXnn === bumblebee_ is now known as falcogw [11:51] did not have that problem on gnome, but now i do with kubuntu === iroh is now known as Bradley23 [11:54] how do i set up kubuntu so that when i connect my two computers (both with kubuntu) with an ethernet cable, that i can transfer files between the two. i am having a hard time finding concise information that isnt overwhelming. [11:55] falcogw, you installed bumblebee in ubuntu or kubuntu ? It shouldn't make any differnce [11:56] BluesKaj: first i did in ubuntu gnome, now i switched to kubuntu and started over, now i got that error when i try to start the ui [11:56] but appindicator is not something from bumblebee, but from ubuntu no? [11:56] isnt that some python-module or something? [11:57] Bradley23, checkout networkik in dolphin , then choose add network folder , use secure shell option , that's best for 2 linux pcs [11:59] BluesKaj: it asks for a lot of information of which i know very little. name, user port, encoding etc. is there a good step by step guide that can help me to understand what it is asking? [12:01] Bradley23, , are you going thru a router/modem to the internet and local network ? [12:03] BluesKaj: no. i was hoping to be able to connect the two laptops (one i use as a desktop replacement) and the other i take to class. i would like to be able to put an ethernet cable in between and have them recognize each others home files. [12:03] i am connected to the internet but it is through wifi on my roommate's router [12:04] BluesKaj: is that like mapping a drive folder? [12:06] dunno about an ethernet cable between 2 machines , Bradley23 , mydogsnameisrudy ...the ethernet port looks for internet protocols afaik ,a crossover cable would be best in that setup [12:08] apt-get install eclipse -> Will this install Eclipse 4.2? [12:09] hmmm the wifes computer has no close button in the upper corner just min and max no x to close window? [12:11] jds: apt-cache showpkg eclipse <- should tell you what version is in the repos [12:12] Okay got it. [12:12] Is there a way to install 4.2 via apt-get? [12:12] too bad he left , the ethernet crossover apparently is supposed to work , I always thought the data ports were needed for that . [12:13] jds, look in your package manager [12:13] I'm looking right now. Just seeing 3.7 here [12:14] i am here. i was fiddling with the network === iroh is now known as Bradley23 [12:15] BluesKaj: i am here. i was fiddling with the network. i didnt realize it changed the name of everything [12:17] BluesKaj: the laptop and the desktop have the same name. that might be the problem. [12:18] Bradley23, you still need the IP address of the the target machine , do ifconfig on that laptop , look for inet addr:192.168.,X,XX ...same name perhaps but they'll have diiferent IPs , should matter [12:18] Hi I found this about appindicator, how can i install it in kubuntu? http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/python-appindicator [12:19] BluesKaj: k. [12:19] Bradley23, ifconfig in the terminal [12:22] is it the hwaddress? [12:22] falcogw, libappindicator0 is in the repos in your package manager [12:25] Bradley23, is there no inet address ? [12:26] Bradley23, make sure the ethernet cable is connected between the laptops [12:28] BluesKaj: yes. the connections are firm. [12:28] falcogw, look in muon in kmenu> apps>system>muon [12:28] BluesKaj: i get a HWaddress and 7 other lines. [12:29] okmwhat's the hw address ? [12:32] you need the username and password for the target laptop as well the HW address (which I assume subs for the inet in this case) , use port 22 for secure shell (ssh) ,and the target /home folder would be a good choice [12:33] Bradley23, ^ [12:36] BluesKaj: Thanks, found it :) === iroh is now known as Bradley23 [12:37] sorry. i keep getting changed to iroh [12:38] BluesKaj: 1c:75:08:1d:fe:4e [12:38] ok Bradley23 , I'll repost you need the username and password for the target laptop as well the HW address (which I assume subs for the inet in this case) , use port 22 for secure shell (ssh) ,and the target /home folder would be a good choice [12:40] Bradley23, normally port 22 is already the default when secure shell is chosen [12:43] Bradley23, you shold see an inet address, he address is hardware address , inet is probly on the second line in ifconfig [12:43] hw + hardware ..we don't need that [12:43] does someone know how it works, that a newer version from a package makes it into the the distro? like crystalspace 1.4, newer one is cs-2.0. [12:43] hw=hardwarw [12:45] hw adress also has an other appearance, ip = 000.xxx.xxx hw = 00:00:00 [12:46] BluesKaj: yes. it is port 22. i put in the inet6 addy but get the error <> [12:48] Bradley23, not the inet6 , use one like this , inet addr:192.168..X.XX [12:49] BluesKaj: ok it is in the wlan0 data. [12:49] Bradley23, can you pastebin you ifconfig result [12:50] BluesKaj: something is happening really slowly. [12:51] BluesKaj: it looks like a sftp connection is trying to form according to the notification widget [12:52] Bradley23, yes that's misleading , i get that too [12:53] Bradley23, are both laptops connected to the same network ? [12:54] BluesKaj: i just took the desktop replacement off of wifi. [12:56] if both laptops are on wifi you can connect very easily . this crossover cable complicates things if the laptops are still connected to a network , try one connection or the other , but not both [12:58] BluesKaj: now i am getting the error <> [13:00] Bradley23, pls pastebin the ifconfig output [13:00] !paste [13:00] 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. [13:01] L3top, any experience with ethernet crossover cable connections ? [13:02] BluesKaj: i need to call it a night. i get up in a couple of hours. thank you for your help so far. if i continue i will start making mistakes. i will come back online tonight. is that okay? [13:02] Bradley23, where are you ?...I might be sleeping [13:02] BluesKaj: i played once a bit around, what i have seen, you sometimes need crossed cables [13:02] different to the one what you can buy, i manually made them [13:03] BluesKaj: boise idaho: [13:03] but i didnt get it now, if he want do a wireless connection or a connections with cables [13:03] yeah jolt you probly mean dataport [13:04] north american mountain time -- i think it is -7 or -8 utc. [13:04] it is 7 am and i have to be somewhere at 10 am. [13:04] strange anyway by me, i tried to connect yesterday to my pther pc too, i got a dsl router, i can ping the linux machine, but from linux to window i got all time timeout [13:05] Bradley23, I'm in Ontario Canada...ok i'll be around this evening ..T still think just connecting by wifi without crossovers is best [13:05] BluesKaj: okay. i am still a beginner with most of this. i was told that ethernet was faster than wifi. but at this point whatever works. [13:06] depends on your card, wifi should support 50 mb/sec, some cards support 10/mb, some 100mb/sec [13:06] and the router mostly only support 10mb/sec [13:06] ethernet is faster but wifi is also physically more easily done as well , [13:07] so when wireless even would work with 50/mb/sec, then its still restricted from the router [13:07] Bradley23,^ ...have a good one [13:07] gbye bradley Hurry!! [13:07] :D [13:07] BluesKaj: okay i will be back this evening. have a good night. and thank you again. [13:07] thank you joit also [13:07] Bradley23, np :) [13:08] jolt , well wifi is so handy . no fooling around with cables etc [13:08] yes, but i still had my issues with wifi, i was at all mostly faster to only connect my cables [13:09] and i dont like the radiation from it [13:09] i do not use wifi when i dont need it [13:09] ... [13:09] the "radiation" from wifi is no more than that of a radio [13:09] actually... [13:09] a microwave gives off more [13:09] so does a TV [13:09] TheLordOfTime: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:10] silence you! [13:10] i dont care, and its probatly not the ammount, but the frequency. also when i have allready a tv and a radio and my neighbour too, then i dont need to add one more source [13:11] sure its handy, but there probatly could be other ways for wifi's [13:12] i dont trust the science anyway :) when they tell you, what is dangerous or what not [13:12] same with the cellphones, it only makes me uh oh, rly [13:13] but back to the wireless, its true, they are simple to set, usual you only need the key at the router and there you go [13:13] * TheLordOfTime doesnt particularly care [13:13] your loss, IMO, but idc [13:14] my loss? what are you talking about [13:14] that my brain get not toasted ? [13:15] * TheLordOfTime points out you're drifting into offtopicness [13:15] when you work with hard connections then it is not much more work as with wifi [13:18] it just does not work anywhere, or is handy to have cables laying around [13:19] BluesKaj: probatly he has to set something in his router? i got a new box lately where the access to the other machines must be set. you can use the net from it, but not the local netwrok [13:19] I don't have a problem with wifi ..i have technical background in electronics and other related fields , all the BS about wifi being dangerous in the schools shows a lack of knowledge about rf energy [13:20] BluesKaj: wives tales too, dont forget about those :P [13:21] well, i simple dont trust it, you cant estimate the long term damage really. and thats where they lack to provide it [13:21] jolt I have a local network with wifi setup here at home , I'll halp him set his up when he has the time to do so [13:21] there are a lot natural sources from raaditation no question, but the one what they give us, no thanks [13:22] BluesKaj: did you had to configure your router ? [13:22] and sometimes it first start working, when you got at last one shared folder at both machines [13:23] jolt , no just the laptop and pc IPs and pws with ssh using the network folder option in dolphin network ..I can also ssh directly from the terminal [13:24] BluesKaj: any idea why my linux machine cant ping my windows machine over the router? [13:25] probatly he didnt set anythin right now, you will probatly figure it out later :) [13:25] at one time when my family was visiting a christmas we had 3 windows laptops a macbook and my 3 pcs all on the network simultaneously [13:26] heh, sounds like fun [13:26] jolt , do have access to your router settings [13:26] yes [13:26] i do [13:26] then use the windows IP to ping [13:27] i did that, [13:27] and it pings once then timeouts [13:27] Hi BluesKaj... not on linux unfortunately. [13:27] BluesKaj: sorry... misread that... crossover yes... crossfire (ATI) no [13:28] err, it doesnt even reach it once, just start to send it [13:28] L3top, ok thanks ..i think we'llprobly make him realize that using the wifi is a lot less cumbersome [13:29] ahaha, figured it out, my firewall did block it, commodo is not bad :) [13:30] L3top, but if you're around this evening , we may need your expertise , maybe a crossover cable is the only option. I'm not sure about the setup . [13:30] turns out most modern nics do autoswitching now... so if one or both nics autoswitch you can just use regular cables. [13:31] * L3top just learned this trying to figure out how someones setup was working at all [13:31] L3top,yes ethernet , I thought was talking dataport [13:31] I didn't know cat5/6 would work [13:32] * L3top is just wiping boogers from eyes. Gets coffee [13:37] I cant kill a windows thats open, help? [13:38] jolt do you have any shared dirs on the the target pc , especially windows requires shared folders to be accessible from linux [13:40] oops , not a good explanation there , windows requires folders to be in the shared mode so one can access them from or even other windows pcs [13:42] Nicekiwi, is it an application or a folder? [13:42] BluesKaj: an application [13:45] open the system monitor in the kmenu>apps>system , then find the app , and right click , send signal , kill [13:45] Nicekiwi,^ [13:45] BluesKaj: the app is not listed [13:45] BluesKaj: my bad, it is [13:46] BluesKaj: but its wont allow itself to be killed [13:47] try terminate instead of kill [13:47] BluesKaj: none of them work [13:50] BluesKaj: using the kill command from konsole dosnt work either [13:50] BluesKaj: it was my firewall at the windows machine what did block it [13:50] problem solved when i set it to low [13:51] Nicekiwi, http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/stop-process-ubuntu-linux-command/ [13:52] I don't like the kill command ..it's caused me problems in the past [13:53] BluesKaj: none of those work === administrator is now known as Guest82022 [13:55] BluesKaj: hmmm the proccess seemed to the controlled or blocked by another proccess called 'watchdog' :/ [13:55] Killed that and the window finally closed [13:56] !watchdog [13:57] Nicekiwi, I don't have anything else to tell you except , reboot , sometimes it's only thing that work , if the app insists on this behviour then find a substitute and uninstall the bad app [13:57] guard dog ? [13:57] BluesKaj: hmm its a game.. not really an option. Least I know howto kill it now. No one really has had an answer for this so far [13:58] there is no app installed called watchdog, but that was the name of the proccess so.. yeah [13:59] Nicekiwi, are you running this game in wine ?
