[00:10] <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
[00:12] <yu210148> Hi TeslaTony, I'm on 12.04 not 12.10 but there should be a file in /etc/network called interfaces
[00:13] <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
[00:14] <yu210148> googling "/etc/network/interfaces" should provide some examples you can adapt to do what you want to do
[00:14] <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?
[00:15] <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
[00:16] <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
[00:17] <yu210148> I think you're going to need to use iwconfig
[00:17] <yu210148> I'm just trying to find a good article
[00:18] <yu210148> Something like this: http://goo.gl/jE2Tl or this: http://goo.gl/PcytS should get you started in the right direction.
[00:19] <TeslaTony> Awesome. Thanks!
[00:19] <yu210148> np :)

[03:59] <bryong> How do I make my WF-2117 wireless card work with linux?
[04:00] <bryong> Anyone there?
[04:00] <bryong> ?
[04:01] <bryong> Sorry I am new to ubuntu.  I made a new computer and would like to get the graphics card working
[04:01] <bryong> and wireless card
[05:08] <selite> Why can't I see the files that are in Desktop via the GUI?
[05:08] <selite> I just installed Kubuntu.
[05:12] <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.
[05:13] <DarthFrog> The Location section might also be of interest to you.
[05:24] <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
[05:25] <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.
[05:26] <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
[05:39] <OerHeks> libcanberra-gtk-module  ?
[05:40] <Xnke> Yep
[05:41] <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
[05:42] <OerHeks> oke, i would suggest that, starting netflix from cmd, maybe it solves your issue when you install libcanberra-gtk-module
[05:43] <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> :-)
[05:44] <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
[05:45] <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
[05:46] <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
[05:47] <Xnke> I'll keep at it, eventually it'll work
[05:52] <Xnke> ah, gksu wasn't installed...installing that has gotten me to the next proglem
[05:55] <Xnke> filesystem extended attributes; I think I know how to fix that one
[07:43] <timberwolf> I am having trouble veiwing my win 7 pcs network shares, I am running kubuntu 12.10
[07:45] <timberwolf> my win 7 pc displays as an unknown device
[07:50] <timberwolf> anyone?
[08:36] <selite> Hello, why can't I see the files in Desktop via GUI?
[08:37] <selite> I just installed Kubuntu. xD
[08:55] <selite> What's the show desktop keyboard shortcut?
[09:08] <FloodBotK1> !netsplit
[09:13] <selite> Wgt does the konsole in Kubuntu look so bad?
[09:16] <FloodBotK1> !netsplit
[09:17] <calavera> Hey can anybody help me?
[09:29] <calavera> Actually... disregard that.
[09:41] <FloodBotK1> !netsplit
[09:46] <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?
[10:05] <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?
[10:06] <Ironsight> And is there a special way you need to install to work with windows 8? I will be installing from a BDR disc
[10:24] <Tm_T> Ironsight: you need to install Kubuntu after Windows so Windows doesn't overwrite grub
[10:26] <gnomefreak> that is the easies way
[11:41] <disharmonic> hi, so what do you guys recommend? Kubuntu-full or desktop?
[11:44] <tsimpson> disharmonic: kubuntu-full is just kubuntu-desktop with some extra packages
[11:47] <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
[11:48] <tsimpson> I'm using it now
[11:48] <disharmonic> k thanks
[11:48] <tsimpson> you're welcome :)
[11:59] <BluesKaj> Hi all
[14:16] <dhq> i need help i acedently deleted /usr/lib .... rm -r *
[14:16] <dhq> what do i do
[14:20] <yofel> dhq: if it still works, try this: apt-get --reinstall install `dpkg -S /usr/lib | sed -e 's/,//g' -e 's/:.*$//'`
[14:25] <dhq> yofel: it only restored libaudiofile
[14:26] <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
[14:27] <dhq> yofel: i re ran the previous command and its restoring a good abount of libraries
[14:27] <dhq> around 258mb
[14:28] <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
[14:57] <dhq> yofel: it installed everything my it fails to start
[14:58] <yofel> did you remove anything else?
[14:59] <dhq> no
[14:59] <yofel> hm, how far does it get?
[15:00] <dhq> i am running in recovery mode
[15:00] <yofel> ok, so that works at least
[15:00] <dhq> and i get to the service startup
[15:00] <yofel> any error message?
[15:00] <dhq> nop
[15:00] <yofel> hm, what happens if you try to start X?
[15:01] <dhq> error whiloading libXfont.so.1
[15:02] <yofel> does the file exist?
[15:03] <dhq> no
[15:04] <yofel> dhq: can you try to run the 2nd command too? seems like it didn't reinstall everything that's needed after all :/
[15:04] <dhq> k
[15:04] <dhq> i will runt it
[15:05] <yofel> (in this case libxfont1 is broken)
[15:13] <dhq> yofel: /var/lib/dpkg/info/cups.postinst: 91: cd: can't cd to /usr/lib/cups/backend dpkg: error processing cups (--configure)
[15:15] <yofel> dhq: mkdir -p /usr/lib/cups/backend, dpkg --configure -a, then try again
[15:16] <dhq> yofel: Setting up cups (1.5.3-0ubuntu4) ... ln: accessing `/usr/lib/cups/backend-available/ipp': No such file or directory dpkg: error processing cups (--configure):
[15:16] <yofel> try to just reinstall cups
[15:50] <dhq> yofel: apt-get --reinstall `dpkg --get-selections | grep install | grep -v deinstall | cut -d' ' -f1` command doesnt work
[15:50] <yofel> what does it say?
[15:53] <dhq> yofel: Invalid operation accountsservice
[15:54] <yofel> oops, there's something missing
[15:54] <yofel> apt-get --reinstall install `dpkg --get-selections | grep install | grep -v deinstall | cut -d' ' -f1`
[15:57] <dhq> yofel: E: Unable to locate package install
[15:59] <yofel> apt-get --reinstall install `dpkg --get-selections | grep install | grep -v deinstall | cut -f1`
[15:59] <yofel> dhq: this give the right list now
[15:59] <yofel> *gives
[16:04] <dhq> yofel: this will take a while
[16:04] <dhq> how long will you be online ?
[16:06] <yofel> I'll be on and off for a few more hours
[17:47] <cub> ..
[17:47] <cub> hi
[19:33] <user94202> How do i get rid of the options panel next to desktop icons (when I hover the pointer over an icon)  ??
[19:35] <user94202> For example, when i hover the pointer over rekonq desktop icon, a translucent options panel pops-up.  I want to get rid of that.
[19:42] <user94202>  I just want desktop icons with no options panel beside it.
[19:46] <snele> have a great night!
[19:47] <snele> HAPPY NEW YEAR
[19:49] <c0nsti> Happy New Year!

[20:37] <timberwolf_> anyone?
[20:37] <wolftune> timberwolf_ sorry I'm no expert, but someone here should be
[20:37] <timberwolf_> I cant seem to get an answer...
[20:38] <timberwolf_> anywhere...
[20:40] <OerHeks> I am no expert either, maybe this is a help >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/232998/how-do-i-install-smbmount
[20:45] <timberwolf_> mount error(12): Cannot allocate memory
[20:47] <timberwolf_> any ideas?
[21:06] <wolftune> timberwolf_: try the regular ubuntu section if your question isn't KDE specific
[21:08] <timberwolf_> ok
[22:06] <Toast> Is massive RAM and CPU usage still normal in KMAIL2 on 12.10, or a symptom of a failed mailbox migration from kmail1?
[22:09] <BluesKaj_> Toast,  it's probly akonadi server and nepomuk indexer
[22:10] <Toast> I'm having real trouble keeping my system from swapping. 4GB of ram should be plenty for a few emails and used to be fine with kmail1. Is this normal behaviour? I read about problems with the early builds, but had hoped they were fixed.
[22:13] <Toast> Does kmail have to synchronise every time it accesses a folder, or should it do that once on first access? I can probably put up with a long process if it's a one off , but if this is going to happen all the time I will need a different client.
