=== carlos is now known as Guest87788 [00:10] 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] Hi TeslaTony, I'm on 12.04 not 12.10 but there should be a file in /etc/network called interfaces [00:13] It's been a while since I fussed around with it but if I remember right you can edit it to change [00:13] what interfaces are used [00:13] and what they connect to [00:14] googling "/etc/network/interfaces" should provide some examples you can adapt to do what you want to do === Guest87788 is now known as Raro45 [00:14] 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] Are you referring to wi-fi networks then? [00:15] Yes [00:15] if you plug in a network cable and the network has dhcp then it should just get an address [00:15] and there'd be nothing to do. [00:15] Ah, okay [00:16] I've done that once before for a kiosk that had to connect wirelessly [00:16] give me a sec let me see if I can find the instructions [00:16] Awesomeness. Thanks [00:17] I think you're going to need to use iwconfig [00:17] I'm just trying to find a good article [00:18] Something like this: http://goo.gl/jE2Tl or this: http://goo.gl/PcytS should get you started in the right direction.

Huh, wazzat? Somebody spoke? [05:24] Yep [05:25] Been trying to get the netflix installer from Compholio working [05:25] Ah, don't think I'll be able to help you with that, sorry. [05:26] 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] something about canberra-gtk [05:39] libcanberra-gtk-module ? [05:40] Yep [05:41] 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] oke, i would suggest that, starting netflix from cmd, maybe it solves your issue when you install libcanberra-gtk-module [05:43] that's what I'm working on at the moment; I had a rough time getting the actual package name [05:43] we'll see if it works now [05:43] :-) [05:44] Hopefully this workaround won't be needed for long; I've had terrible luck with Silverlight on any platform [05:44] argh [05:44] Ok, now it complains about "73: gksudo: not found" [05:44] just use sudo apt-get install libcanberra-gtk-module [05:45] I have; it's installed [05:45] Just did it and re-tested. Now it's upset about gksudo, which I think come sin libcanberra [05:46] stange, i can't help you by doing the same, can't use netflix here in europe :( [05:46] Yeah, it's kinda silly [05:47] I'll keep at it, eventually it'll work [05:52] ah, gksu wasn't installed...installing that has gotten me to the next proglem [05:55] filesystem extended attributes; I think I know how to fix that one [07:43] I am having trouble veiwing my win 7 pcs network shares, I am running kubuntu 12.10 [07:45] my win 7 pc displays as an unknown device [07:50] anyone?

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? === Adam_ is now known as Ironsight [10:05] 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] 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] Ironsight: you need to install Kubuntu after Windows so Windows doesn't overwrite grub [10:26] that is the easies way === Tonio_ is now known as Tonio_aw === Tonio_aw is now known as Tonio_ [11:41] hi, so what do you guys recommend? Kubuntu-full or desktop? [11:44] disharmonic: kubuntu-full is just kubuntu-desktop with some extra packages [11:47] 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?

Is this normal behaviour? I read about problems with the early builds, but had hoped they were fixed. [22:13] 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. === sharky2 is now known as sharky
