=== divya is now known as Guest54515 === johnnytech is now known as |nv|s|b|e [04:08] hello, my huawei usb modem will not work after log off. i have to unmount and mount [04:21] Hello [04:42] can someone tell me who to write the chmod for a file? [04:45] hello is there anyone here [04:47] can someone please help me [04:51] yahyaa: What do you need? [04:51] i am trying to chmod a file but i forgot how to write the format in the konsole [04:51] can you help with that [04:52] yahyaa: did you try man chmod ? [04:52] Qapt package installer is telling me, error: wrong architecture 'i386' anybody have an idea why? [04:53] what I am saying is what is the whole syntax to do it, my file name is setupA.txt [05:02] yahyaa: Right I"m asking if you know how to use the man file? [05:02] yahyaa: press alt+f2 and you should get a little drop down terminal from the top [05:03] yahyaa: type man:/chmod and press enter. [05:03] You should get a page with the format for the chmod command [05:04] almost all the commands have a man(ual) file to explain at least how to type in the command [05:04] 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] kitzune: what arch do you have installed? [05:04] brb [05:05] 64bit [05:05] kitzune: that's probably why [05:05] i386 is 32 bit [05:05] Ah, I don't remeber seeing a 64 bit skype file on their website [05:17] can someone please help me out [05:18] 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] I looked at the manual, but I do not understand it, I am new to linux [05:19] can someone please help me so that I can do this and go to sleeep please!!! [05:25] CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!! [05:28] wow this is crazy, I gues im going back to windows!! [05:33] yahyaa: patience, please, we're not paid service but volunteers in our free time [05:35] Thank you for volunteering your free time, btw [05:36] 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] kitzune: blame the awesome community (; [05:38] 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] i am new to linux so I don [05:38] t [05:38] oops so I dont understand all of the terms and format [05:39] yahyaa: calm down, take a deep breath, and read carefully what I did just write (: [05:39] ok thanks never mind [05:41] yahyaa: if you look carefully my example, you can derive from it the command "chmod a+x file" [05:41] if this is to be a support channel [05:42] which i understand it volunteer [05:42] i asked a simple question, for which I was given more than what I asked [05:42] thanks for the xtra information but it only confuses me [05:43] 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] that is the question I answered [05:43] ok [05:43] thank you [05:43] 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 (: [05:44] exactly thats why my question was if the file name is setup.txt what do I write [05:45] but i do believe I have figured it out [05:45] what I thought i would get is [05:45] : chmod +x setup.txt [05:45] that's fine too [05:46] but thats what i asked was if someone could tell me how to type that out [05:46] but what i got was how to pull up a manual and other permissions which is not what i asked for [05:46] but thanks anyway [05:47] and i mean no offense [05:47] So how do I enable multiarch? so that I can install 32bit programs [05:48] kitzune: you're trying to install skype? [05:48] Yes, but it seems I'm not able to install 32 bit packages [05:48] 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] this is very stressful for me [05:49] yahyaa: I understand, community can help a lot but it takes plenty of patience to get started (: [05:49] i just want my laptop to work right for a change [05:49] kitzune: the easiest approach is enable partner repository and then install skype package from there [05:49] kitzune: it will handle all the necessary dependencies for you [05:51] yahyaa: you can make files executable from within the file browser as well [05:51] kitzune: know how to enable that repo? [05:51] I think I just did it through the software sources [05:51] yahyaa: rightclick file -> properties -> not-sure-which-tab -> tick executable [05:51] kitzune: neat (: [05:51] thank you :) [05:53] thanks [05:53] later === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [07:07] hello world :D === pjoe_afk is now known as pjoe === pjoe is now known as pjoe_dj [07:18] BluesKaj: are you here?

I've started to play with the nvidia driver again [07:23] I think I'll do a reinstall [07:24] hte nvidia drivers don't work [07:25] AMD drivers also have a habit of not working ;) [07:28] can I perform a reinstall on an encripted LVM with ? [07:28] s/with/... [07:29] I have no experience with LVM.

[10:53] ovidiu-florin: can you change it using nvidia-settings ? [10:53] no [10:53] there are no options [10:53] just automatic resolution [10:56] BluesKaj: are you here? [10:57] ovidiu-florin: If on the nouveau driver it worked fine, why did you install the nVidia blob? [10:57] refresh rate [10:58] and also HD videos don't work on nouveau [10:59] I'll try to stick with nouveau [11:02] Hi. Just did a fresh install of Kubuntu 13.04. In de Date and time settings my local time zone is Europe/Amsterdam, but Kubuntu still uses UTC. What am I missing? [11:03] clock settings -> timezone -> uncheck UTC [11:03] FOAD: ^ [11:05] Okay... [11:05] Does this take a while or what? [11:07] Time's still wrong... [11:10] if that does not fix it... hmm.. [11:12] Well I just set it by hand. If it acts up again I'll see. Thanks for the help. :) [11:12] FOAD: maybe restart KDE [11:12] FOAD, you need to reboot [11:12] Oh! Okay, thanks. :) [11:14] FlowRiser: not reboot, just log out and in again [11:15] rebooting is usually only needed if you want a different kernel [11:15] Or if something seems broken beyond repair ;) [11:17] Okay thanks. :) [11:19] Another question then... My media volume buttons control the "GK107 HDMI Audio Controller Digital Stereo (HDMI)" volume slider, but I want them to control the "Built-in Audio Analog Stereo" slider. How do I change that? [11:21] FOAD: Right click the kmix icon in your taskbar -> select master channel [11:22] Genius. Thanks. :) [11:22] lordievader, nice compliment:P [11:22] smartboyhw: ?

Though this might break stuff... [11:39] no matter , the card supplies the frame rate afaik [11:40] I've added the backports and updated [11:40] ovidiu-florin, and I see more flicker on windows than I do on kubuntu [11:40] now I logged in and all I see is the wallpaper and cursor... [11:40] I can't do anything [11:41] BluesKaj: I don't see the flicker, I just feel it's effects [11:41] never been affected hjere [11:43] any recommendations on the missing desktop?

[14:44] I asked about fixing my clock here a bit earlier, I unchecked UTC in Digital Clock Settings and rebooted, but I still get UTC time rather than local. Any more ideas?

[15:33] Can I mount it somehow ignoring that error? === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [15:35] LogicallyDashing: In networking it would be the Cyclic Redundancy Check, not sure if the same applies to sd-cards. [15:35] LogicallyDashing: Does fdisk see the card? [15:37] Probably want to fsck it before mount attempt is made [15:37] lordievader: no, and the message from dmesg is 'unable to read partition table' [15:37] genii-around: gives same error. [15:37] genii-around: well, dosfsck. still though. [15:38] It is possible I have a bum cardreader and should just get a new one. [15:38] If you just use fsck it will try to determine which fs to use [15:38] ok [15:38] LogicallyDashing: As lordievader said... does fdisk see it? [15:38] LogicallyDashing: If other cards work fine i'd say it is a bad adapter. [15:39] lordievader: that *very card* works fine, in other devices [15:39] 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] LogicallyDashing: I ment other cards in the sd-card slot of your pc ;) [15:40] lordievader: I have no such slot, otherwise I would not need the adapter [15:40] "fsck.ext2: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while trying to open /dev/sdc" [15:40] I was *pretty sure* this had a VFAT filesystem [15:40] LogicallyDashing: Ah I thought you were talking about a microSD to regular SD adapter. [15:41] It looks as though it's trying to read block 0 and failing--predictably, since badblocks tells me block 0 is unreadable [15:41] In that case (though unlikely) it could also be a driver. [15:42] lordievader: eh, I can't get this to work on Windows either. Haven't done so much troubleshooting there though. [15:42] Meh than it is probably a fault adapter indeed.

[17:41] BluesKaj: yes [17:41] it doesn't detect it at all [17:42] stacky: You have a card connected to it I take? Does fdisk see the card? [17:42] fdisk should show /dev/sdd1 na ? [17:42] or sudo lshw [17:42] stacky: Depends. [17:42] i dun know how to check that [17:43] it is detected on fdisk or not [17:43] in a terminal , stacky [17:43] BluesKaj: i know that.. but i don't know which one is descripting the card [17:43] stacky: Ok, can you pastebin the output of "sudo fdisk -l" without a card connected and once with. [17:44] ok [17:45] without card [17:45] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5338828 [17:45] with card [17:46] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5338836 [17:46] 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. [17:47] Remove the card, run the command "sudo udevadm monitor --environment --udev" and insert the card again. Does udev see the card? [17:49] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5338861 [17:50] no [17:50] the process doesn't complete [17:50] stacky: you need to leave it running [17:50] in both cases [17:50] it will print a message when you plug in a device [17:50] for how mucg time ? [17:50] ok [17:50] What apachelogger says. [17:51] stacky: It should have some output if udev detects the card. [17:51] no nothing changes when i insert the card [17:51] it doesn't detect [17:52] Hmm that is too bad. Usually point to one of two things: faulty card or faulty reader. [17:53] i have tried three cards [17:53] and it works fine in windows :( [17:53] Lets add another option then, faulty driver. [17:54] so can i do anything about that ?? [17:54] actually it used to work fine with kubuntu 12.10 [17:55] i am trying to hook up a printer for the first time using kubuntu can some one help me through the process [17:55] See if you can find out what make and model the reader is. Then google that in combo with linux or something. [17:55] stacky: It used to work fine? What version are you using now? [17:56] 12.04 [17:56] because 12.10 was corrupted and was with wubi... [17:57] so now i have installed with [17:57] Ugh Wubi, is your pc a new one? [17:57] it was [17:57] I.e. how old is it. [17:57] well almost 1.5 months i think [17:58] this has many problems with broadcom chipset also [17:58] :( [17:58] It could be that the driver is in the 3.5 (Quantal) kernel but not in the 3.2 (Precise) kernel. [17:58] hp dv 6 worst laptop ever for FOSS [17:58] yes..i supposed that [17:58] so atlast there is no solution to this ? [17:58] Would it be a lot of trouble to install Quantal? [17:58] or i can download the driver and recompile it ? [17:59] quantal worked by luck last time [17:59] Perhaps, but I'd say installing Quantal is easier. [18:00] i think i would directly upgrade to 13.04 [18:00] rather than 12.10 now [18:00] coz if it breaks [18:00] there would be no other option :P [18:01] any idea.. when will 13.04 will be released ? [18:01] stacky: Then you have to wait a couple of days ;) [18:01] stacky, what kinds of devices are these cards from [18:02] this cars is SDHC card [18:02] used in DSLRs [18:02] *card [18:02] stacky: Raring is released the 25th of this month.
