=== mike_ is now known as Guest85287 [11:13] hallo peeps [11:14] Hello shogunrisk [11:14] hey by the way does anyone no where the z button is i have spent about 10 minutes looking for it [11:15] oh dont worry just found it [11:19] This is a really interesting article https://www.readability.com/articles/vrwys1xa [13:48] hi, having trouble running µtorrent webui -- worked perfectly previously, now after boot "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8080." tried to solve by using a similar problem's fix (toggle network.dns.disableIPv6 off) but it was already off... toggling my fresh VPN on/off also does nothing [13:49] pecc: On Ubuntu? [13:49] yes [13:50] WebUI is enabled? On port 8080? [13:50] it worked this morning [13:50] WebUI is enabled? On port 8080? [13:50] I did nothing but turn my hardware off [13:50] I dunno [13:50] ... [13:50] how do I check? [13:50] How did you turn it on? [13:51] I don't know, I don't use uTorrent. I imagine it'll be in the settings somewhere [13:51] Preferences -> Advanced -> WebUI [13:51] "Shut down" then wait until it's off, then cable off [13:51] What [13:51] uTorrent settings I presume? [13:51] Yes [13:52] 16:51 is how I turned it off [13:52] my computer [13:52] What I mean is, go to utorrent Preferences -> Advanced -> WebUI [13:52] uh, the problem is I cannot access my we server uTorrent :I thus I cannot touch its settings [13:52] Make sure WebUI is enabled in uTorrent, and that uTorrent is running [13:52] *web server [13:52] pecc: How are you running uTorrent on Ubuntu? [13:53] Explain to me your situation. What machine is running uTorrent, and what machine would you like to access the WebUI from? [13:53] afaik the only uTorrent version compatible with Linux is a web server version, and that's what I'm running [13:53] IDk what you're running, but it's not uTorrent [13:53] Where did you get it? [13:53] actually I have no idea where it's running but I installed it somehow and it's supposed to be related to localhost [13:54] a moment [13:55] http://www.utorrent.com/downloads/linux Oh OK [13:56] So you rebooted your machine that is running uTorrent? [13:56] Did you actually run uTorrent after you rebooted? [13:56] And then go to http://localhost:8080/gui ? [13:56] no, Foxy refuses to connect to localhost/8080/ [13:56] localhost:8080 [13:56] not localhost/8080 [13:56] and it's localhost:8080/gui [13:57] yes, typoed [13:57] OK [13:57] What's your ip? (run curl ifconfig.me) [13:57] (hey I know how to do that :D) [13:57] How did you install utorrent? [13:58] DOn't say "i downloaded the file" [13:58] After that, you must have used a terminal to install the files to the right locations [13:58] By the way, is there a reason you need to use uTorrent rather than a proper Linux bittorrent client like Deluge? [13:59] sudo apt-get install deluge [13:59] then run deluged [13:59] then run deluge-web --fork [13:59] Then you can access via http://your_ip:8112 [14:11] tell me good application of ubuntu [14:11] hi [14:12] hello, i have something challaging for you. i got kernel panic after an upgrade to 12.04 LTS and i want to fix that and bring the system up and running again. [14:12] Dshx: What did you upgrade from? [14:12] 11.04 [14:13] or wait, no [14:13] 11.10 [14:13] Is there a way to cause the kernel panic, or is it random? [14:13] no permission to boot from root sda [14:13] Sorry? [14:14] wait, i give you the whole context [14:14] Yes please [14:14] i try to boot from the recovery console (3.2.0-27) [14:14] I'll be back in about 10 minutes, please tell me everything you think is useful. I can probably help you [14:14] this could be awesome [14:15] First error appearing: VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block (0,0) [14:16] Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: [14:16] then there are none [14:16] next [14:17] Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block (0,0) [14:17] Pid: 1, comm: swapper/0 Not tainted 3.2.0-27-generic #43-Ubuntu [14:19] aasu, Here.. :-) [14:21] All happend after upgrading to 12.04 LTS , having firefox opened for stream watching. there was an error, x crashed but mouse was visible. sadly no windows, so i rebootet. [14:22] sorry for dropping out, had big problems [14:23] everything stopped responding after I had curl installed [14:23] had to reboot a few times etc [14:24] my ip is [14:24] OK [14:24] eh sorry [14:24] 80.221.34.58 [14:24] Blazemore is actually afk for 5 min [14:25] their away says brb [14:25] anyways, I'll wait for now [14:26] me2 [14:27] Back [14:28] Right [14:28] pecc: you first [14:29] pecc: Did you make sure uTorrent is running? [14:29] Blaze dear what I'm saying is I can't get it to run because Foxy won [14:29] 't connect to localhost/what I said earlier [14:29] pecc: but is utorrent running? [14:29] how do I check? :I [14:30] How do you expect to connect to it via a web browser if you don't know if it's running? [14:30] You said it was working before you rebooted. You must have run utorrent at some point to make it work [14:30] ps -e | grep utorrent maybe this? [14:31] Basically, utorrent runs in the background, and then you connect to it with a web browser [14:31] pecc: But as I said, is there any reason you want to use uTorrent specifically? [14:31] mini laptop? [14:31] does not make that much sense [14:31] have also a netbook here [14:32] I was lead to believe utorrent is very lightweight [14:32] pecc: On Windows, yes [14:32] ahmm [14:32] pecc: What are you trying to achieve? What's your end-goal? [14:32] get my torrents \o/ [14:32] brb, 10 min [14:32] pecc: Are you looking for a bittorrent client you can run, and then connect to it from other machines to manage the torrents? [14:32] no, I only have this poor little thingy [14:33] pecc: So you just want a bittorrent client? [14:33] yep, something that won't make my lappy die [14:33] Go to the software centre and install Deluge. It has a full graphical user interface [14:33] No web browsers required [14:34] aww :I guess I hafta download those files again for seed/download -to-where-I-can-see'em :I [14:34] Where did it download them to? [14:34] check in ~/Downloads [14:35] pecc: Deluge looks like this (http://img6.imagebanana.com/img/tkknx0dh/D0.0KU497.4KDeluge_013.png) - is that the sort of thing you were looking for? [14:35] they end up there only after I manually click every subfile [14:35] Not sure what you mean by "manually click" or "subfile" [14:35] deluge looks nice [14:35] Have you used bittorrent before at all? [14:35] Are you new to Linux? [14:36] well I'm here in the beginners help chat right :D but I know a bit of things so not completely new [14:36] OK [14:36] So yes, go ahead and install Deluge [14:36] The default settings are very sensible [14:36] But have a look in the preferences to make sure you know where the files are being downloaded to [14:37] im not quite sure what you mean by bittorrent but I previously used uTorrent on Win7 and now on Ubuntu for a few days until this whole incident [14:37] uTorrent is a protocol which allows for downloading things [14:37] **** [14:37] BITTORRENT is a protocol [14:37] ok [14:38] uTorrent is a "client" which uses this protocol. There are other clients like Deluge and Transmission [14:38] uTorrent just happens to be the most popular on Windows [14:38] yeah [14:38] so yeah [14:38] You can download the same things with Deluge (from Pirate Bay or wherever) [14:39] I looked at the webui prefs a couple of times and the "download here" field was empty, had no idea how a proper path would have looked like and was feeling lazy those times so didn't get to try it [14:39] I guessed as much [14:40] OK so go install Deluge and have a play with it [14:40] Download some Lemon Jelly http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/7517174/Lemon_Jelly_Discography_%5BMP3%5D [14:40] OK Dshx are you still here? [14:40] "If you are running Ubuntu, it is strongly suggested to use a package manager like aptitude or synaptic to download and install packages, instead of doing so manually via this website." nice if I knew how to do that =_=;; [14:41] pecc: Open the Ubuntu Software Centre [14:41] it's horribly laggy for me :( [14:41] On Linux, you rarely install software by downloading something from the developer's website [14:41] wouldn't Terminal do? [14:41] Then open a terminal [14:41] And type "sudo apt-get install deluge" without the quotes [14:41] \o/ [14:42] o.o I thought that command only works for stuff you've downloaded but o.o yay, ok, I'll be doing that then [14:42] the "apt-get" command downloads and installs packages from the Ubuntu repositories [14:42] whoah what happened [14:42] Media change: please insert the disc labeled [14:42] 'Ubuntu 12.04 LTS _Precise Pangolin_ - Release i386 (20120423)' [14:42] in the drive '/cdrom/' and press enter [14:43] run "sudo apt-get update" first, then try again [14:43] whew [14:43] update gives the same lines [14:43] (you can press the Up arrow on your keyboard to scroll back through previous commands you have run) [14:44] (noticed that earlier today \o/) [14:44] sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources/list [14:44] Delete any lines which contain the word "cdrom" or anything that looks like that [14:44] But it won't cause any actual problems [14:45] it should open a file in gedit right? [14:45] pecc: Yes [14:45] ...not doing that [14:45] The cdrom lines are probably the first couple [14:45] Oh OK [14:45] instead it started doing what looks like loading/installing [14:45] puking lines in rapid succession [14:45] you ran "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources/list" and it did that? [14:45] yep [14:45] or when you ran sudo apt-get update [14:46] no, after gedit /etc/apt and so on [14:46] It doesn't matter if it's spewing out crap to the terminal, just run "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources/list" and wait a couple of seconds [14:47] it finished and by how the last 20 or so lines look like it's finished installing/setting up Deluge [14:47] That's interesting [14:47] yep, Deluge showing up in Dash home [14:47] Take a look in whatever Ubuntu calls the menu now, to see if Deluge is installed [14:47] Super [14:48] Looks like you're all set, take a peek in the Deluge settings to see what you can see [14:48] But like I said, the defaults are very sensible [14:49] alright, thanks a bunch o/ I'll be having fun with my Deluge now :3 [14:49] bye [14:49] oh [14:49] wait [14:50] waiting [14:50] I'll want to uninstall uTorrent, [14:50] re [14:50] so, sudo apt-get uninstall [whatever the name used to install was] ? [14:50] sudo apt-get remove [14:50] No pecc [14:50] remove then [14:50] If you didn't install it through the package manager, you can't remove it through the package manager [14:51] However you installed it, you'll have to uninstall it in a similar way [14:51] I did too [14:51] No you didn't, there aren't any Ubuntu packages for uTorrent [14:51] hmmmm [14:51] There was a folder download on the link you gave me [14:51] It is probably just a matter of deleting the folder you extrated it to [14:51] then what I remember was something other in Terminal [14:51] Do you remember running "./configure", "make" and "make install" [14:52] Frankly you're fine not uninstalling it [14:52] lordy, all my "Dash home can't find oh noes" files are here O.O [14:52] It isn't doing any harm just existing on your hard drive, unless space is a MASSIVE issue [14:52] Space IS a massive issue [14:53] I'm running Ubu from a SD card due to hardware restrictions [14:53] restrictions = half of my motherboard is fried :P [14:53] pecc: nice [14:53] sounds like having a bunch of fun [14:54] (so fried I can't use the main battery because connecting it will cause a short cirquit 8I) [14:54] uh [14:54] Blazemore: im back [14:54] it is hugely !!FUN!! but hey, I'm a Dwarf Fortress player :3 [14:54] sudo apt-get new-hardware pecc :) [14:55] sudo apt-get EUR 500 ;) [14:55] Good point. [14:55] ERROR: you need banking permissions. [14:56] I got a mother board damaged laptop to work with EUR 70 (dock + USB hub + HDD reader) vs EUR 300 (motherboard job) vs EUR 500 (new lappy) [14:57] eh but enough flooding with offtopic, I'll skip to happily enjoy my torrents ^_^ [14:57] again thanks a load [14:58] (I'll be idling for a while in case I encounter any new weird stuff) [14:58] and im waiting for Blazemore [14:59] I'm here Dshx [14:59] Tell me what happens to cause a kernel panic [14:59] wait, i copy from above [15:00] OK [15:00] First error appearing: VFS: Cannot open root device "sda3" or unknown-block (0,0) [15:00] Please append a correct "root=" boot option; here are the available partitions: [15:00] Dshx: Can you boot into your system at all? [15:00] with another kernel, yes [15:01] Try booting into it with another kernel and run the following one-by-one in this order [15:01] but x doesnt work properly [15:01] sudo apt-get update [15:01] Properly? [15:01] ok [15:01] OK let me say these commands first [15:01] aka fine [15:01] sudo apt-get update [15:01] you cant click things [15:01] sudo apt-get upgrade [15:01] sudo apt-get -f install [15:01] sudo update-grub [15:01] wait sec [15:01] then reboot [15:01] i didnt have a network interface [15:01] Are you on wireless? [15:02] tried boh [15:02] *both [15:02] cause gui isnt working right, i tried over terminal, but like i said, no internet connection [15:02] So you can boot your system, but you can't get an Internet connection, and the window manager isn't working properly? [15:02] yes [15:03] so i need instructions working for kernel 2.3.0-17 [15:03] in terminal [15:03] You won't need an Internet connection for this [15:03] Try just running "sudo update-grub" [15:03] ok [15:04] When it's done, reboot [15:04] Tell me if there were any errors running it [15:05] ok [15:07] worked all fine [15:07] now im rebooting [15:08] now should i boot the 0-27 image? [15:08] ok, again kernel panic [15:08] same errors [15:09] Can you boot into the working system and tell me what is the output of "sudo fdisk -l" [15:09] Not the exact output [15:09] ok [15:09] But there will be a list of devices like /dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sdb ... [15:09] Tell me what all those are [15:14] easy to use texteditor? [15:14] something with n [15:14] Dshx: nano [15:14] thx [15:14] Ctrl-O to save, Ctrl-X to quit [15:14] sda1-7 [15:14] and sdb1 [15:14] So you do have a /dev/sda3? [15:14] yes [15:15] Do you happen to know which one is the SD card? [15:15] there is no sd card plugged in [15:15] my system is running on a desktop machine [15:15] im only online with my netbook [15:16] Oh right sorry, it was the other guy with the sd card [15:16] yes [15:16] This kernel upgrade... did it just come as a normal Ubuntu update? [15:16] Or did you try to compile your own kernel? [15:17] no no, normal ubuntu update [15:17] OK [15:17] im not that experienced to build my own kernel [15:17] What is the full name of the kernel Grub says it is? [15:17] On the Grub menu [15:17] 2.3.0.27 [15:17] 2.3.0-27 [15:18] ...2.3? [15:18] or 3.2 [15:18] 3.2 pardon [15:18] Because kernel 2.3 came out well before Ubuntu was even thought of [15:18] lol [15:18] OK [15:18] :D [15:18] but 2.6 is still in the system [15:19] "sudo update-initramfs -u -k 3.2.0-27-generic" - run that from the working kernel [15:21] done [15:21] offtopic: im kinda proud that nix systems dont want to initialize my harddrives like windows [15:21] btt: reboot? [15:21] yes [15:22] again [15:22] still says unknown block [15:23] well maybe the kernel not consistent? [15:23] or is there a way to get my network interface connected to the internet and follow your first instructions? [15:23] Yes [15:24] At the login screen, select some kind of failsafe option instead of just "ubuntu" [15:24] Something like ubuntu 2d [15:25] ok lets try this.. rebooting... [15:26] where i can change the interface at login screen [15:26] i dont find the dropdown [15:26] or something [15:26] I think it's the little Ubuntu logo [15:27] Near the password field [15:27] i think you wont belive me, but there is none [15:27] haha, found. there is no image, but it is clickable [15:27] Dshx: Click your username [15:28] allright, logged in [15:29] no internet connection [15:30] I'm 100% sure that's an unrelated issue [15:30] booted 10 min before in windows, lan works properly [15:31] but i check the cable again [15:31] ok, led blinks, cable is connected [15:31] no connection [15:32] is there a way to start the network deamon or something? [15:33] sudo service network-manager restart [15:33] Check in your network settings (the icon is on the top bar somewhere near the right) [15:33] Not sure what you'd be loking for though [15:34] the problem is [15:34] there are no icons [15:34] even all symbols are missing [15:34] Something's badly wrong [15:34] yes [15:34] i totally agree with you [15:34] Something during the upgrade process went absolutely tits-up [15:35] jop [15:35] hmm [15:35] I would strongly recommend backing up any files, downloading the latest Ubuntu liveCD and doing a lovely fresh install [15:35] do you know a way to get the network manually up ? [15:36] yeah i know, but i thought it would be a good exersice for me to clean up the mess and learn something out about it [15:36] i have an idea: i look up how to connect manually to my router and see if i can get a connection [15:36] than i respond to you back [15:36] Manually, Dshx [15:36] You want to look at /etc/network/interfaces [15:37] Google for : ubuntu static IP interfaces [15:37] or something [15:37] ok [15:41] fuck yes, dhcp is up and running [15:41] awaiting your orders, master [15:41] Dshx: we try to keep it a "family show" in here :) [15:41] ok, sry ;) [15:42] thought, i can feel your excitement... [15:42] though* [15:43] Dshx: [15:43] holstein: im not that good as the normal linux user, so if i can achive here and there a goal for my own im quite happy [15:43] Blazemore: yes [15:43] sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get -f install; sudo apt-get autoremove; sudo update-grub [15:43] Go! [15:44] Yes! [16:00] oh btw how does one close the CTRL+ALT+F1 terminal screen? o.o [16:00] escape it, whatever? [16:03] alt F7 [16:03] thx [16:16] Blazemore: guess what: system is up and running. [16:17] the jasper package caused problems and the libjpg was not installaed [16:17] *installed [16:18] I really really like to thank you Blazemore [16:18] you saved my day :D [16:19] i want to write a go trough of the problem for others to fix that. can i name you in there? [16:22] thats the bug that caused the problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/taglib/+bug/902603 [16:22] Ubuntu bug 902603 in taglib "When installing Multi-Arch: same (meta-)package for two architectures, dpkg considers one arch as completely disappeared" [High,Fix released] [16:26] Dshx: Sure why now [16:27] Dshx: If you want to thank me for anything, you can buy a My Little Pony toy and donate it to a local children's hospital [16:27] Blazemore: sounds good to me [16:30] Although I didn't actually solve anything [16:33] but you got me in the right direction to solve this [16:33] and thats the point [16:33] OK that's good [16:34] Blaze... I'm back with more :I [16:34] Hello pecc [16:34] so i need to bind an IP to an url [16:34] Within your local network? [16:34] let me check [16:35] Or just on the local machine?
