[06:41] grrrr [06:42] valorie: alsa-utils: /usr/bin/alsamixer [06:44] thanks, Unit193 [06:44] I'm trying to get both hangouts and my usb headset working simultaneously [06:45] so far, no luck [06:48] Unit193: paste.kde.org/pkuortijx [06:49] doesn't work in krunner either [06:50] valorie: alsa-utils is the package, /usr/bin/alsamixer is the binary. Tried pavucontrol (if using pulse)? [06:50] yes, I've been googling for a half hour [06:51] all I could get to start alsa-wise, was the alphamixergui which is a steaming pile [06:52] alsa-utils is installed but I can't seem to get it to start [06:53] I'm about to make an executive decision that the meeting has to take place in irc === sano is now known as Guest86217 [07:17] Unit193: got the headphones working, at least [07:17] switched to the phonon-backend-vlc [07:18] Well that's one thing.

[12:21] BluesKaj: will check now [12:22] nothing about cells [12:22] Usage: iwlist [interface] scanning [essid NNN] [last] [interface] frequency [interface] channel [interface] bitrate [interface] rate [interface] encryption [interface] keys [interface] power [interface] txpower [interface] retry [interface] ap [interface] access [12:22] (sorry, should have used some paste website ) [12:23] the command is ' iwlist scan ' [12:23] without the quotes [12:23] http://pastebin.com/X52K8QQS [12:23] That's what I get [12:24] is ESSID:"Mech Plus" yours? [12:25] that's the one I need to connect to [12:25] so yes [12:26] Right now I'm connected to it, but it drops out & My PC will be un able to see any other networks [12:26] while my phone next to the PC can see at least 3+ netwroks (including the one above) [12:26] (so it's not a wireless router problem for sure) [12:27] Michael_Kubuntu1, which wifi chip? [12:29] Vendor : Qualcomm Atheros (is that it ? ) [12:29] Product : AR922X Wireless Network Adapter [12:30] ls [12:30] ls -la [12:30] exit [12:31] Michael_Kubuntu1, odd that's usually a pretty reliable driver/connection [12:31] Good jb, Cononical! [12:32] BluesKaj: It was when I was running windows [12:32] (not that I regret leaving windows, just making a note :D ) [12:33] BluesKaj: it will take some time before the wirless drops, so may I get your help with few other things. This is a fresh Kubuntu install & need to get it ready for work ASAP. [12:33] 1- I need to remove OpenJDK [12:35] Michael_Kubuntu1, so does your wifi drop out on kubuntu, or just windows? [12:35] BluesKaj: Note : I had this wireless problem with this Kubuntu & Mint KDE 15 .. I restarted few times with no luck. [12:36] but before this final retsart, i switched to exiting windows install then back to linkx & wirless seems to work ! [12:37] I also had problem with apt-get on kubuntu whilre trying to un-install openjdk but it only stopped giving errors AFTER I swtiched to windows & back to linux ... this is tripping me out ! [12:37] while * [12:38] BluesKaj: in short, the wirless problem only on Linux (Kubuntu 14 & mint KDE 15) [12:39] & seems to work for the time being .... [12:39] Michael_Kubuntu1: problems like this can be either with the driver or the wireless adapter's firmware included with the kernel [12:40] what kernel are you on (run uname -a from the terminal to find out)? [12:40] Linux kubuntu14lts-pc 3.13.0-24-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 2 23:30:00 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [12:41] using the default Kubuntu [12:41] this is on 14.04? [12:41] yes [12:41] Michael_Kubuntu1, sounds like the ath9k driver is unloading, try sudo modprobe ath9k [12:41] BluesKaj: good catch, that could be it [12:42] dodger, dunno why it would tho [12:42] Michael_Kubuntu1: you can find out by running "lsmod | grep ath" once your wifi connection drops out; if that outputs nothing, the drives is no longer running [12:42] ok, tried that .. I will keep an eye on it to see if the wirless will drop [12:42] ty guys :) [12:42] if the driver is still running, you can try to reload it with [12:42] This is very nice support to have .. for a new person to linux [12:43] sudo rmmod ath9k && sudo modprobe ath9k [12:43] Michael_Kubuntu1, to load the driver just run the modprobe command , if it loads there won't be any output [12:44] some wireless devices still have problems, though that number gets smaller with every release; i haven't had trouble with networking for the last 3 or 4 years :) [12:44] but there's still hardware every once in a while that doesn't quite work [12:44] Notes.. I'm keeping a change log & error/solution report to use late .. will add these commands now :) [12:45] i had more probs with W7 BCM wifi than with kubuntu [12:45] I had this hardware for a while, so it may be it ... I will see after few tests.. [12:45] BluesKaj: i've been having more trouble with windows generally, which is why i don't use it anymore :P [12:45] Michael_Kubuntu1, good practice :) I've been doing the same for yrs now [12:46] dodger: last time I used windows was like 4 month ago .. only use it in a VM to run Photoshop & Illustrator [12:46] I'm Web & Graphic Designer BTW [12:47] so much fun with linux .. al these commands & working in an invironment as close as possible to production server helps alot [12:47] I keep windows around to keep my hand in for wife's sake [12:47] Michael_Kubuntu1: cool, that's what I went to school for :) [12:48] I got my diploma at Web development & DB development ... studied from home ... always felt I knew more then the teachers ! [12:48] at some point I decided I like programming better, so now I'm a programmer :P [12:49] there are a couple of old bugs on launchpad relating to connection loss with that wifi adapter, btw [12:49] web applications or somet hing things ..? [12:49] I'm looking for an App developer [12:49] for smartphones [12:49] Michael_Kubuntu1: video games, professionally, and pretty much anything privately [12:50] cool. TBH, I'm trying to create an online team to work togeather & just develop fun projects & maybe sell these projects later [12:51] I have few things I want to do .. new CMS based on Yii or Symfony framemworks (php frameworks) [12:51] & a linux file / Project manage [12:52] just installed some new RAM in a seniors center pc to handle Kubuntu 14.04 that had been running XP . The manager was very worried about no more windows updates so we installed Kubuntu, So far so good/ [12:53] xp ... I heard of it befoew :p [12:53] BluesKaj: most people love it if they can just wrap their heads around it being different from what they're used to [12:53] before * [12:53] any new install for someone i prefix with 'be patient, you'll have to relearn some stuff' [12:53] my grandma used to tell me stories about xp [12:54] <--- is a grandpa [12:54] Michael_Kubuntu1: I guess that makes me old :P 95 was the first windows I ever did serious work on [12:54] BluesKaj: haha [12:54] * dodger is too [12:55] i'm 23 .. not that young [12:55] i've got a decade or two on you there :P [12:56] I've been between windows 7 & linux for a while.. but after I saw win8 I knew I have to find something else or leave the IT world becasue if win8 was the top OS then to hell with Technology (same direction as win8) [12:56] seems like the connection dropout problem has been happening on and off with that adapter, Michael_Kubuntu1 [12:56] is this on a laptop or a desktop? [12:56] desktop [12:56] current setup doesnt allow for cabel to be running .. that will change soon [12:57] dongle or wifi nic ? [12:57] if it keeps happening, you might want to consider picking up a different adapter; here's a guide to which ones work best [12:57] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported [12:57] ty, now a question for experts in compuster world [12:58] how do you organize you DATA .. Perosnal Projects, Clients Projectct, Client details .. payments, bills, files ..... [12:58] Michael_Kubuntu1, are you going to replace openjdk with something else ? [12:59] so much Datab to be saved & I'm sick of folders .. I need to be able to descripe my folders & data & create Categories/groups [12:59] Michael_Kubuntu1: projects usually on a file system level, people's details in kontact, and payments/bills through my online banking website :P [12:59] BluesKaj: Yes, want Oracle Java JDK [13:00] Michael_Kubuntu1: with the KDE indexing functions, that sort of thing becomes much easier [13:01] Baloo (previously Nepomuk) - being able to tag files and folders, associate the pieces of data with each other and then search for them is really nice [13:02] dodger: My Projects break into groups, Web, Graphics, Hosting & login details, Project Notes, Project Change Log, Project Requirements & Plans ... [13:02] thats alonepossible for "one client" [13:02] since they're all related, just tagging the files in dolphin would probably go a long way [13:02] so Tagging & commenting on files would be one greate feature .. also keeping a task list for each project .. [13:03] does that Tag Data get stored in the folder or in some differnt location .. incase I install a new system [13:03] For organizing random collections of data and ideas, I still love Basket, even though it's a bit outdated now [13:04] Michael_Kubuntu1: the data gets stored in a separate database [13:04] that's searchable by KDE applications [13:04] for example, you can tag files with a 'Project 1' tag, then search for that tag in dolphin or KRunner [13:05] Michael_Kubuntu1, check this out, it involves installing a ppa in your sources.list, but the procedure is pretty clear, http://www.webupd8.org/2014/04/oracle-java-installer-conflicting-with.html [13:05] or even put a shortcut to that tag search into the places bar of the KDE file selector [13:08] dodger: will check that out .. & hope it works with Krusador File manager :) [13:08] i use that feature a lot, i've got a couple of quickaccess widgets with my most common searches in the panel [13:08] Krusader [13:10] I wish there is like a Linux Framework to develop quick Software with nice UI [13:10] Michael_Kubuntu1: I dig python with PyQt for small projects [13:11] I'm a C++ guy at heart, but for small apps, Python is very quick to get up and running [13:11] although dynamic typing still makes me cringe [13:12] will try it.. I read about it but I guess it's time to really test it & see what I can do [13:12] now I'm on linux .. I can do anything :) [13:12] Quick question: will ie be the correct language to build a basic File manager with DB to store FIles Notes/tags ? [13:13] Michael_Kubuntu1: there's no such thing as a 'correct language' :P [13:14] if you want to build something like that, i'd recommend using the KDE frameworks so you can integrate it with the existing tagging and annotation functionality [13:14] well, It wont be like trying to use PHP to create a file manager & do everything through a browser .. it wont be good as I cant associate file tipes with programs + anything I click will be like a "download" [13:14] I'm not sure what the state of that with python is [13:14] you might want to pop into #kubuntu-devel to get more information :) [13:15] 1st question : does it have to be acces through browser or can be used to program stand alone software ? [13:15] yeah, for a file manager I'd do a standalone app [13:15] doesn't mean you can't do it in JavaScript, for example ;) [13:16] but people more familiar with the KDE frameworks could likely give you better information about that than myself [13:18] dodger: ty :) now.. I need a game that I can only hack :D [13:18] never asked, what games have you worked on ? [13:19] quite a few... Madden, Star Wars: The Force Unleashed, Bioshock 2, and a few others [13:19] sometimes I think I've been doing this for too long [13:19] is it good pay ? [13:20] i'm certainly not complaining [13:20] :) & when did you 1st start doing programming & 1st read "programming" work .. if you dont mind me asking [13:21] 1st real * [13:21] oh god... my first contact with programming was in CPM-Basic about 30 years ago [13:21] how old were you ! [13:21] 9 :P [13:22] my dad worked at Siemens and brought home what they then called a portable computer [13:22] which meant 3x1x5 ft and 400lbs [13:22] so portable .. on a truck :D [13:22] 2 people could maneuver it :P [13:23] it came on rollers [13:23] so u 39 :) [13:23] 40, actually [13:23] i said 'about' :P [13:24] was trying to be nice & rounded down :) [13:24] plus the "9" sells better [13:24] at some point you just stop counting ;) [13:26] BluesKaj: btw, ty for that link .. saved me so much time [13:26] np Michael_Kubuntu1, hope it's what you need [13:27] Michael_Kubuntu1: seems your wifi connection is pretty stable now :) [13:28] it's always that way.. stable untill it crashes [13:28] but when.. who knows [13:28] hope never [13:28] yeah, but it hasn't disconnected in the last 30 minutes or so :) [13:28] it normally takes few hours between crashes [13:29] oh, well here's hoping it stays up :) [13:29] btw, I'm having fun creating so called "Portab;e Software" I made a SSD Partition with Linux Software that doesnt require install .. Including my IDE Neatbeans & XMind (mapping + Charts tool) [13:30] gparted? [13:30] you could image that to a USB stick and have a portable development environment :) [13:30] usb is too slow [13:30] but I do keep impostant software on USB for wuick start incase of PC crash [13:30] 3.0 is pretty snappy, but not too wide spread yet, yes [13:30] important [13:32] I just recently set up two-factor authentication for my encrypted partition on my laptop, keeping the ecryptfs key on a tiny USB stick on my keychain [13:32] i have porteus3 on a stick , and impressed my bandmates with it,.,,they're all windows 8.1 users [13:32] but since it's an 8GB stick I'm going to make it bootable and put a kubuntu install on it [13:33] Nice .. soon I will be looking ta making a USB with Kubuntu + Persistant install [13:34] but i really wowed them with kubuntu using the desktop cube etc [13:34] this just blows my mind BTW [13:34] http://goo.gl/Muw082 [13:34] 8GB on that [13:34] I only wish there is like a "Snap Shot" feature to the Persistant install like I do with VMware .. to revert back fast. [13:34] the kid that was playing with the monstrous 'portable computer' back in the days just doesn't want to believe it [13:35] dodger: :) I would get a USB SSD & make it portable [13:36] it's about the same price as USB flash drive .. nearly $1 per 1 GB here in AU [13:36] yeah, that stick is about $6 US [13:36] that stuff has become so cheap it's unreal [13:36] still expensive when you get 500GBN + [13:36] i remember the first hard drive i had for my Atari ST was 20MBytes and cost $500 [13:37] damn .. [13:37] too much junky usb stuff out there tho, did 4 writes to 16G stick and it crapped out [13:38] BluesKaj: yeah, the cheap NAND is nothing you'd want critical stuff on [13:38] BluesKaj: its good to use a trusted brands .. not as if other companies are much cheaper [13:38] i keep the key on a second USB stick for safety :P [13:38] but having something so tiny on your keychain and being able to boot an entire OS from it is pretty darn cool [13:39] yup [13:39] true that [13:40] is there a lighter version of KDE ? so like Light Kubuntu without the too many effects ? [13:40] or manye it's just a config change ? need to test it [13:41] you can turn off compositing altogether with alt+shift+F12 [13:41] I noticed that in Kubuntu, attached media goes under /media/Username/MediaName .. was it before just under /media/Medianame ? [13:41] but today, even anemic GPUs should be fast enough to run it [13:41] Michael_Kubuntu1, you can setup fewer desktop effects in syatem settings if you wish, but on most newer machines there won't be much speed benefit [13:42] BluesKaj: it's more for a os on USB .. less files to load ? [13:43] With time, I may play around with Linux to load the ISO & Persistant files into ram then work on the os [13:43] Michael_Kubuntu1: the desktop effects won't really make much of a difference there; if you want to increase boot speed, there are other options to do that ;) [13:43] Michael_Kubuntu1, well that also depends on the host machine's HW [13:44] I 1st ran Kubuntu as live OS & had "lagg" .. no much worried about boot speed at this stage. === Michael_Kubuntu1 is now known as DesignerX [13:45] ok.. this is my real IRC nick :D [13:45] designerx.com.au (yes, I'm a web designer with no time for my website !) === sony is now known as Guest81540 [15:51] All: Where is the best place to find BASH scripts? [15:52] All: Need to automatically find and mount USB/Flash drives [15:52] http://www.duckduckgo.com [16:09] TBotNik: why do you think that is related to BASH scripts? Why do you think that BASH scripts found randomly are right for your situation? [16:11] It has to be a script, for machine with CLI only, and I prefer BASH, which I understand the best! === Skippyyliquid is now known as Moonbob [16:11] Walex2: It has to be a script, for machine with CLI only, and I prefer BASH, which I understand the best! [16:14] TBotNik: I don't see the connection between "script" and "CLI only". Why do you think that DBUS, 'udev' and/or automounters only work if a GUI is running? [16:16] hi, how can I show only App Icon & Name when I press alt-tab ? instead of Program Preview . [16:23] DesignerX: maybe there is an options under "Worksspace Appearance>Window Behaviour>Task Switcher" [16:24] DesignerX: like "thumbnails" [16:25] Walex2: ty, will try that [16:55] Walex2: The machine in question is toast, ran into "disk full" scenario and corrupted itself, so process is emergency recovery, but must script it to not leave out any critical info on the machine! [16:56] Walex2: Can only login tty2-5 and CLI and nothing formerly "auto" works! [16:58] Walex2: Having to backup over 5M files, must capture all config files, all app launchers, including launcher menu (with order) and over 280GB of data. HD is 320GB. [17:10] TBotNik: why is your priority to run automounting in this situation? [17:11] TBotNik: that sounds extremely bizarre. Mounting manually takes a single line. === mahfiaz_ is now known as mahfiaz [18:01] Walex2: Right if you only have to do it once, but 64GB flash into 280 goes how many times, and the backup has to know the 64GB size and not build any .tar or tar.gz files larger than 64GB, must build it on the flash, mark where it is at, let the flash be removed, for manual copy to backup server, with 1TB HD, then when remounted check empty status, remove .tar/.tat.gz(s) if there, then continue backups, etc. [18:05] Walex2: Wrote all this up at: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/201093-recovery-desperate-2.html and at http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-linux/201498-flash-mount-bash.html#post951178 [18:07] TBotNik: you can do that with a shell script that does 'unmount ...; mount ...'
