| cabpa | hello, my huawei usb modem will not work after log off. i have to unmount and mount | 04:08 |
|---|---|---|
| kitzune | Hello | 04:21 |
| yahyaa | can someone tell me who to write the chmod for a file? | 04:42 |
| yahyaa | hello is there anyone here | 04:45 |
| yahyaa | can someone please help me | 04:47 |
| Daskreech | yahyaa: What do you need? | 04:51 |
| yahyaa | i am trying to chmod a file but i forgot how to write the format in the konsole | 04:51 |
| yahyaa | can you help with that | 04:51 |
| Daskreech | yahyaa: did you try man chmod ? | 04:52 |
| kitzune | Qapt package installer is telling me, error: wrong architecture 'i386' anybody have an idea why? | 04:52 |
| yahyaa | what I am saying is what is the whole syntax to do it, my file name is setupA.txt | 04:53 |
| Daskreech | yahyaa: Right I"m asking if you know how to use the man file? | 05:02 |
| Daskreech | yahyaa: press alt+f2 and you should get a little drop down terminal from the top | 05:02 |
| Daskreech | yahyaa: type man:/chmod and press enter. | 05:03 |
| Daskreech | You should get a page with the format for the chmod command | 05:03 |
| Daskreech | almost all the commands have a man(ual) file to explain at least how to type in the command | 05:04 |
| Daskreech | it should help in the future if you know the name of a command but can't remember the format. It's a pretty fast easy way to remind yourself | 05:04 |
| Daskreech | kitzune: what arch do you have installed? | 05:04 |
| Daskreech | brb | 05:04 |
| kitzune | 64bit | 05:05 |
| Daskreech | kitzune: that's probably why | 05:05 |
| Daskreech | i386 is 32 bit | 05:05 |
| kitzune | Ah, I don't remeber seeing a 64 bit skype file on their website | 05:05 |
| yahyaa | can someone please help me out | 05:17 |
| yahyaa | i am trying to chmod a file in the konsole terminal, but I can not remember the format that I am to type | 05:18 |
| yahyaa | I looked at the manual, but I do not understand it, I am new to linux | 05:18 |
| yahyaa | can someone please help me so that I can do this and go to sleeep please!!! | 05:19 |
| yahyaa | CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!! | 05:25 |
| yahyaa | wow this is crazy, I gues im going back to windows!! | 05:28 |
| Tm_T | yahyaa: patience, please, we're not paid service but volunteers in our free time | 05:33 |
| kitzune | Thank you for volunteering your free time, btw | 05:35 |
| Tm_T | yahyaa: for chmodding, "chmod a+w file" would add write rights for all, the first letter (for who) can be u=user, g=group, o=others, or a=all those three. second letter (what rights) are r=read, w=write, x=execute and so on | 05:36 |
| Tm_T | kitzune: blame the awesome community (; | 05:36 |
| yahyaa | i do not understand that all I want to know is if my file name that i am trying to make a executable how do I write it??? | 05:38 |
| yahyaa | i am new to linux so I don | 05:38 |
| yahyaa | t | 05:38 |
| yahyaa | oops so I dont understand all of the terms and format | 05:38 |
| Tm_T | yahyaa: calm down, take a deep breath, and read carefully what I did just write (: | 05:39 |
| yahyaa | ok thanks never mind | 05:39 |
| Tm_T | yahyaa: if you look carefully my example, you can derive from it the command "chmod a+x file" | 05:41 |
| yahyaa | if this is to be a support channel | 05:41 |
| yahyaa | which i understand it volunteer | 05:42 |
| yahyaa | i asked a simple question, for which I was given more than what I asked | 05:42 |
| yahyaa | thanks for the xtra information but it only confuses me | 05:42 |
| Tm_T | yahyaa: what I saw is this: "i am trying to chmod a file in the konsole terminal, but I can not remember the format that I am to type" | 05:43 |
| Tm_T | that is the question I answered | 05:43 |
| yahyaa | ok | 05:43 |
| yahyaa | thank you | 05:43 |
| Tm_T | also I believe it's important to understand that command before using it as you can cause some extra stress by setting wrong file rights (: | 05:43 |
| yahyaa | exactly thats why my question was if the file name is setup.txt what do I write | 05:44 |
| yahyaa | but i do believe I have figured it out | 05:45 |
| yahyaa | what I thought i would get is | 05:45 |
| yahyaa | : chmod +x setup.txt | 05:45 |
| Tm_T | that's fine too | 05:45 |
| yahyaa | but thats what i asked was if someone could tell me how to type that out | 05:46 |
| yahyaa | but what i got was how to pull up a manual and other permissions which is not what i asked for | 05:46 |
| yahyaa | but thanks anyway | 05:46 |
| yahyaa | and i mean no offense | 05:47 |
| kitzune | So how do I enable multiarch? so that I can install 32bit programs | 05:47 |
| Tm_T | kitzune: you're trying to install skype? | 05:48 |
| kitzune | Yes, but it seems I'm not able to install 32 bit packages | 05:48 |
| yahyaa | i bought a laptop and was told to get rid of windows because linux is so much better and there are communities that will help you if you have a problem, but to no avail | 05:48 |
| yahyaa | this is very stressful for me | 05:48 |
| Tm_T | yahyaa: I understand, community can help a lot but it takes plenty of patience to get started (: | 05:49 |
| yahyaa | i just want my laptop to work right for a change | 05:49 |
| Tm_T | kitzune: the easiest approach is enable partner repository and then install skype package from there | 05:49 |
| Tm_T | kitzune: it will handle all the necessary dependencies for you | 05:49 |
| hateball | yahyaa: you can make files executable from within the file browser as well | 05:51 |
| Tm_T | kitzune: know how to enable that repo? | 05:51 |
| kitzune | I think I just did it through the software sources | 05:51 |
| hateball | yahyaa: rightclick file -> properties -> not-sure-which-tab -> tick executable | 05:51 |
| Tm_T | kitzune: neat (: | 05:51 |
| kitzune | thank you :) | 05:51 |
| yahyaa | thanks | 05:53 |
| yahyaa | later | 05:53 |

| ovidiu-florin | FOAD: ^ | 11:03 |
| FOAD | Okay... | 11:05 |
| FOAD | Does this take a while or what? | 11:05 |
| FOAD | Time's still wrong... | 11:07 |
| ovidiu-florin | if that does not fix it... hmm.. | 11:10 |
| FOAD | Well I just set it by hand. If it acts up again I'll see. Thanks for the help. :) | 11:12 |
| Mamarok | FOAD: maybe restart KDE | 11:12 |
| FlowRiser | FOAD, you need to reboot | 11:12 |
| FOAD | Oh! Okay, thanks. :) | 11:12 |
| Mamarok | FlowRiser: not reboot, just log out and in again | 11:14 |
| Mamarok | rebooting is usually only needed if you want a different kernel | 11:15 |

| lordievader | LogicallyDashing: In networking it would be the Cyclic Redundancy Check, not sure if the same applies to sd-cards. | 15:35 |
| lordievader | LogicallyDashing: Does fdisk see the card? | 15:35 |
| genii-around | Probably want to fsck it before mount attempt is made | 15:37 |
| LogicallyDashing | lordievader: no, and the message from dmesg is 'unable to read partition table' | 15:37 |
| LogicallyDashing | genii-around: gives same error. | 15:37 |
| LogicallyDashing | genii-around: well, dosfsck. still though. | 15:37 |
| LogicallyDashing | It is possible I have a bum cardreader and should just get a new one. | 15:38 |
| genii-around | If you just use fsck it will try to determine which fs to use | 15:38 |
| LogicallyDashing | ok | 15:38 |
| genii-around | LogicallyDashing: As lordievader said... does fdisk see it? | 15:38 |
| lordievader | LogicallyDashing: If other cards work fine i'd say it is a bad adapter. | 15:38 |
| LogicallyDashing | lordievader: that *very card* works fine, in other devices | 15:39 |
| LogicallyDashing | in itself that doesn't mean bad adapter because not everything sees bad blocks the same, but I can't get *anything* to read in this thing | 15:39 |
| lordievader | LogicallyDashing: I ment other cards in the sd-card slot of your pc ;) | 15:39 |
| LogicallyDashing | lordievader: I have no such slot, otherwise I would not need the adapter | 15:40 |
| LogicallyDashing | "fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sdc" | 15:40 |
| LogicallyDashing | I was *pretty sure* this had a VFAT filesystem | 15:40 |
| lordievader | LogicallyDashing: Ah I thought you were talking about a microSD to regular SD adapter. | 15:40 |
| LogicallyDashing | It looks as though it's trying to read block 0 and failing--predictably, since badblocks tells me block 0 is unreadable | 15:41 |
| lordievader | In that case (though unlikely) it could also be a driver. | 15:41 |
| LogicallyDashing | lordievader: eh, I can't get this to work on Windows either. Haven't done so much troubleshooting there though. | 15:42 |
| lordievader | Meh than it is probably a fault adapter indeed. | 15:42 |
| LogicallyDashing | Hey if I run fdisk with -c=dos -l then it exits without errors. Doesn't list any partition table though. Is it possible for a disk to not have a partition table? | 15:47 |
| lordievader | LogicallyDashing: Yes. | 15:49 |

| lordievader | Good evening | 17:38 |
| stacky | can anyone please help me with realtek semiconductor corp. card reader | 17:39 |
| stacky | not working | 17:39 |
| stacky | on kubuntu 12.04 | 17:39 |
| stacky | laptop is hp dv6 | 17:40 |
| BluesKaj | stacky, it doesn't show in dolphin places ? | 17:41 |
| stacky | BluesKaj: yes | 17:41 |
| stacky | it doesn't detect it at all | 17:41 |
| lordievader | stacky: You have a card connected to it I take? Does fdisk see the card? | 17:42 |
| stacky | fdisk should show /dev/sdd1 na ? | 17:42 |
| BluesKaj | or sudo lshw | 17:42 |
| lordievader | stacky: Depends. | 17:42 |
| stacky | i dun know how to check that | 17:42 |
| stacky | it is detected on fdisk or not | 17:43 |
| BluesKaj | in a terminal , stacky | 17:43 |
| stacky | BluesKaj: i know that.. but i don't know which one is descripting the card | 17:43 |
| lordievader | stacky: Ok, can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" without a card connected and once with. | 17:43 |
| stacky | ok | 17:44 |
| stacky | without card | 17:45 |
| stacky | https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5338828 | 17:45 |
| stacky | with card | 17:45 |
| stacky | https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5338836 | 17:46 |
| lordievader | If that is the full output of the command, then it is not detected. At least not by fdisk. Now lets see if udev detects it. | 17:46 |
| lordievader | Remove the card, run the command "sudo udevadm monitor --environment --udev" and insert the card again. Does udev see the card? | 17:47 |
| stacky | https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5338861 | 17:49 |
| stacky | no | 17:50 |
| stacky | the process doesn't complete | 17:50 |
| apachelogger | stacky: you need to leave it running | 17:50 |
| stacky | in both cases | 17:50 |
| apachelogger | it will print a message when you plug in a device | 17:50 |
| stacky | for how mucg time ? | 17:50 |
| stacky | ok | 17:50 |
| lordievader | What apachelogger says. | 17:50 |
| lordievader | stacky: It should have some output if udev detects the card. | 17:51 |
| stacky | no nothing changes when i insert the card | 17:51 |
| stacky | it doesn't detect | 17:51 |
| lordievader | Hmm that is too bad. Usually point to one of two things: faulty card or faulty reader. | 17:52 |
| stacky | i have tried three cards | 17:53 |
| stacky | and it works fine in windows :( | 17:53 |
| lordievader | Lets add another option then, faulty driver. | 17:53 |
| stacky | so can i do anything about that ?? | 17:54 |
| stacky | actually it used to work fine with kubuntu 12.10 | 17:54 |
| yahyaa | i am trying to hook up a printer for the first time using kubuntu can some one help me through the process | 17:55 |
| lordievader | See if you can find out what make and model the reader is. Then google that in combo with linux or something. | 17:55 |
| lordievader | stacky: It used to work fine? What version are you using now? | 17:55 |
| stacky | 12.04 | 17:56 |
| stacky | because 12.10 was corrupted and was with wubi... | 17:56 |
| stacky | so now i have installed with | 17:57 |
| lordievader | Ugh Wubi, is your pc a new one? | 17:57 |
| stacky | it was | 17:57 |
| lordievader | I.e. how old is it. | 17:57 |
| stacky | well almost 1.5 months i think | 17:57 |
| stacky | this has many problems with broadcom chipset also | 17:58 |
| stacky | :( | 17:58 |
| lordievader | It could be that the driver is in the 3.5 (Quantal) kernel but not in the 3.2 (Precise) kernel. | 17:58 |
| stacky | hp dv 6 worst laptop ever for FOSS | 17:58 |
| stacky | yes..i supposed that | 17:58 |
| stacky | so atlast there is no solution to this ? | 17:58 |
| lordievader | Would it be a lot of trouble to install Quantal? | 17:58 |
| stacky | or i can download the driver and recompile it ? | 17:58 |
| stacky | quantal worked by luck last time | 17:59 |
| lordievader | Perhaps, but I'd say installing Quantal is easier. | 17:59 |
| stacky | i think i would directly upgrade to 13.04 | 18:00 |
| stacky | rather than 12.10 now | 18:00 |
| stacky | coz if it breaks | 18:00 |
| stacky | there would be no other option :P | 18:00 |
| stacky | any idea.. when will 13.04 will be released ? | 18:01 |
| lordievader | stacky: Then you have to wait a couple of days ;) | 18:01 |
| BluesKaj | stacky, what kinds of devices are these cards from | 18:01 |
| stacky | this cars is SDHC card | 18:02 |
| stacky | used in DSLRs | 18:02 |
| stacky | *card | 18:02 |
| lordievader | stacky: Raring is released the 25th of this month. | 18:02 |
| lordievader | !raring | 18:02 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) will be the 18th release of Ubuntu, Discussion and support until final release in #ubuntu+1 | 18:02 |
| lordievader | Hmm why doesn't ubottu say what the release date is... | 18:02 |
| bazhang | lordievader, the !schedule in +1 has a timeline | 18:03 |
| BluesKaj | perhaps putting the cards back into the devices like the camera , and connecting with the supplied usb cables | 18:03 |
| BluesKaj | stacky,^ | 18:03 |
| stacky | oh k | 18:04 |
| stacky | maybe that would work | 18:04 |
| stacky | but m too sorry for my card reader :( | 18:04 |
| BluesKaj | stacky, yeah especially with HP computers , the card readers have always been iffy , one took 5mins before it was recognized on my system | 18:06 |
| stacky | i think one should resist themselves of buying hp devices these days.. coz the new ones are literally not working correctly | 18:07 |
| lordievader | Havent head a problem with card readers on both of my HP laptops, lucky me I guess. | 18:07 |
| BluesKaj | these a e desktops here | 18:08 |
| BluesKaj | are | 18:08 |
| stacky | took me 3 days to get the correct code of brcmsmac and recompile after the de-committing the faulty commit | 18:08 |
| yahyaa | i set up my printer it has recognized it but when I try to print a test page it doesnt print | 18:20 |
