| TeslaTony | I'm running Kubuntu 12.10, and want to know how I can control what networks I connect to via the command line, if that's possible | 00:10 |
|---|---|---|
| yu210148 | Hi TeslaTony, I'm on 12.04 not 12.10 but there should be a file in /etc/network called interfaces | 00:12 |
| yu210148 | It's been a while since I fussed around with it but if I remember right you can edit it to change | 00:13 |
| yu210148 | what interfaces are used | 00:13 |
| yu210148 | and what they connect to | 00:13 |
| yu210148 | googling "/etc/network/interfaces" should provide some examples you can adapt to do what you want to do | 00:14 |
| === Guest87788 is now known as Raro45 | ||
| TeslaTony | What I'm trying to do is go someplace new, and via command line find a new network, connect to it, and surf the net, without using a GUI. Can I do that? | 00:14 |
| yu210148 | Are you referring to wi-fi networks then? | 00:14 |
| TeslaTony | Yes | 00:15 |
| yu210148 | if you plug in a network cable and the network has dhcp then it should just get an address | 00:15 |
| yu210148 | and there'd be nothing to do. | 00:15 |
| yu210148 | Ah, okay | 00:15 |
| yu210148 | I've done that once before for a kiosk that had to connect wirelessly | 00:16 |
| yu210148 | give me a sec let me see if I can find the instructions | 00:16 |
| TeslaTony | Awesomeness. Thanks | 00:16 |
| yu210148 | I think you're going to need to use iwconfig | 00:17 |
| yu210148 | I'm just trying to find a good article | 00:17 |
| yu210148 | Something like this: http://goo.gl/jE2Tl or this: http://goo.gl/PcytS should get you started in the right direction. | 00:18 |
| TeslaTony | Awesome. Thanks! | 00:19 |

| selite | Why can't I see the files that are in Desktop via the GUI? | 05:08 |
| selite | I just installed Kubuntu. | 05:08 |
| DarthFrog | selite: Right click on an empty area of the desktop, select Folder View Settings/View. Change the Layout: combo box to whateve works for you. | 05:12 |
| DarthFrog | The Location section might also be of interest to you. | 05:13 |
| Xnke | Hello, folks | 05:24 |
| Xnke | Anyone awake enough to help me figure out what appears to be a dependancy issue? | 05:24 |
| DarthFrog | ZZZZzzzz.. Huh, wazzat? Somebody spoke? | 05:24 |
| Xnke | Yep | 05:24 |
| Xnke | Been trying to get the netflix installer from Compholio working | 05:25 |
| DarthFrog | Ah, don't think I'll be able to help you with that, sorry. | 05:25 |
| Xnke | apt-get grabs it and it installs without error; but then upon starting the program it fails with the same error each time | 05:26 |
| Xnke | something about canberra-gtk | 05:26 |
| OerHeks | libcanberra-gtk-module ? | 05:39 |
| Xnke | Yep | 05:40 |
| Xnke | I'm slowly finding that it's a problem that springs from running gtk programs from the command line; so it may not be related specifically to the netflix install | 05:41 |
| OerHeks | oke, i would suggest that, starting netflix from cmd, maybe it solves your issue when you install libcanberra-gtk-module | 05:42 |
| Xnke | that's what I'm working on at the moment; I had a rough time getting the actual package name | 05:43 |
| Xnke | we'll see if it works now | 05:43 |
| OerHeks | :-) | 05:43 |
| Xnke | Hopefully this workaround won't be needed for long; I've had terrible luck with Silverlight on any platform | 05:44 |
| Xnke | argh | 05:44 |
| Xnke | Ok, now it complains about "73: gksudo: not found" | 05:44 |
| OerHeks | just use sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module | 05:44 |
| Xnke | I have; it's installed | 05:45 |
| Xnke | Just did it and re-tested. Now it's upset about gksudo, which I think come sin libcanberra | 05:45 |
| OerHeks | stange, i can't help you by doing the same, can't use netflix here in europe :( | 05:46 |
| Xnke | Yeah, it's kinda silly | 05:46 |
| Xnke | I'll keep at it, eventually it'll work | 05:47 |
| Xnke | ah, gksu wasn't installed...installing that has gotten me to the next proglem | 05:52 |
| Xnke | filesystem extended attributes; I think I know how to fix that one | 05:55 |

| calavera | I am trying to dual boot windows and linux on tow hard drives. I restored the MBR and GRUB2 both on their respective hard drives. I put Windows into the sdb position, and then GRUB prompts me where I want to boot to. I tell it to boot into Windows, and it tells me that cannot find a root device. I can still boot into GNU/Linux just fine. Would anybody have a possible solution to this? | 09:46 |
| === Adam_ is now known as Ironsight | ||
| Ironsight | Alright, hope someone's awake, here goes: I want to install kubuntu, I currently have windows 8 installed (upgraded from 7). Will grub2 mess up windows 8 or vice versa? Is there something special I need to do? | 10:05 |
| Ironsight | And is there a special way you need to install to work with windows 8? I will be installing from a BDR disc | 10:06 |
| Tm_T | Ironsight: you need to install Kubuntu after Windows so Windows doesn't overwrite grub | 10:24 |
| gnomefreak | that is the easies way | 10:26 |

| tsimpson | disharmonic: kubuntu-full is just kubuntu-desktop with some extra packages | 11:44 |
| disharmonic | tsimpson, yeah i figured as much. I decided to go with the desktop meta package and add any apps i miss later. BTW will LDM work ok with KDE or should i switch to KDM? | 11:47 |
| tsimpson | lightdm works fine with KDE | 11:47 |

| yofel | dhq: ok, next try. This will try to reinstall *everything*: apt-get --reinstall `dpkg --get-selections | grep install | grep -v deinstall | cut -d' ' -f1` | 14:26 |
| yofel | that's all assuming apt and dpkg still work - which might not be the case | 14:26 |
| dhq | yofel: i re ran the previous command and its restoring a good abount of libraries | 14:27 |
| dhq | around 258mb | 14:27 |
| dhq | lets hope it works | 14:28 |
| yofel | that should be all then, as the first command will restore all packages that have something in usr/lib | 14:28 |
| dhq | yofel: if it works then your my saviour | 14:28 |
