#ubuntu-classroom 2007-03-01 <researcsci> if anyone that is on would be willing to help me with the RT61 wifi drivers in edgy, I would greatly appreciate it <researcsci> any help would be greatly appreciated <nalioth> researcsci: have you asked in #ubuntu ? <nalioth> one usually is invited here by someone for in depth help <researcsci> yeah, no replies over there <nalioth> have you /msg ubotu wireless #ubuntu-classroom 2007-03-02 <arielexchile> hello <arielexchile> i need help please <GaiaX11> arielexchile: I you need help about technical issues go to #ubuntu please. <GaiaX11> arielexchile: If you ... :-) <arielexchile> thanks <arielexchile> i am going <ooodze> gentlemen, is there a way to restore or reinstall gdm in ubuntu. it crashed with no reason. here are the pictures of the system messages http://foto.inbox.lv/rodels/gnomei_pisec . sorry, locale is LV <nalioth> sudo apt-get install --reinstall gdm <ooodze> nalioth, is it data safe? <nalioth> ooodze: what do you mean? <ooodze> nalioth, i mean, how much of my data and settings loose <nalioth> ryanakca_: are you here? <nalioth> ooodze: none <ooodze> nalioth, how about files on my desktop? <nalioth> ooodze: you're just reinstalling gdm, you'll be fine <ryanakca_> nalioth: yes <nalioth> ryanakca: can you explain your out-of-control behaviour earlier? <ryanakca> hmm? <ryanakca> Ah, yes <nalioth> you've been banned in several places <ryanakca> What happened: We had an ice storm. Power flickered (Goes off just enough to turn off lights, monitor, router, etc). Router goes off, so my connection does to. I reconnect. Then konversation's auto-who bug/thing /whos all the channels I'm in. Causing excess flood <ryanakca> Over and Over again <ooodze> nalioth, thank you, sir. <ryanakca> nalioth: richih took care of it <tonyyarusso> ryanakca: Yeah, some friends of mine out there were talking about ice - we got mostly snow back in MN. <tonyyarusso> (a few feet) * ryanakca turned off the reconnect feature on konversation... so... it shouldn't happen again. The auto-who thing has been fixed in Konversations SVN, so, it shouldn't be a problem once kubuntu updates the package <ryanakca> s/"Konversations"/"Konversation's" <nalioth> ryanakca: what happened? <ryanakca> to what? * ryanakca explained what happened in general, and why it shouldn't happen again <nalioth> ah <ooodze> nalioth: it didn't help <ryanakca> tonyyarusso: back in MN already? hmm... still coming to kingston in 2009/2008? <tonyyarusso> ryanakca: Not sure...plans have changed a bit. Maybe I'll swing by sometime anyway though. <ryanakca> ah, nice <ooodze> gentlemen, why can't i reinstall gdm http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8283/ <nalioth> ooodze: find the deb file in /var/cache/apt/archive for the gdm <nalioth> and run dpkg on it directly <ooodze> nalioth: oh, sounds to difficult for me. what exactly should i type? <nalioth> ooodze: are you using dapper or edgy? <ooodze> nalioth i cant switch to terminal now and then switch back again, because i run opera from some weird small terminal window on lower right corner of screen. I am using EDGY <ooodze> and i can't run even gedit, so i typed the message in pastebin after i wrote it on paper <nalioth> ooodze: run "sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gdm_2.16.1-0ubuntu4.1_i386.deb" <ooodze> allright <ooodze> is it ok if ill return and ask for advice again if something fails? <nalioth> ooodze: it will fail. <nalioth> you can paste the errors to a pastebin <ooodze> nalioth: well. why it will fail? <nalioth> we'll see when you run the command <ooodze> nalioth, it said there isn't that file, but i am pretty sure i retyped the name correct <nalioth> ok, i don't run edgy. type "sudo dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/gdm<TAB KEY>" <ooodze> nalioth, probably the problem started with latest update i made. it was package named ubuntu-docs #ubuntu-classroom 2007-03-03 <ooodze> nalioth: no positive results <nalioth> ooodze: have you asked about this in #ubuntu ? <ooodze> the same error messages i typed in pastebin before <nalioth> that's not possible. using dpkg should give you a specific error <ooodze> nalioth: nobody answered <ooodze> nalioth: could it be possible that dpkg utility is broken in some way? <ooodze> could reinstall of ubuntu-desktop help? <nalioth> i doubt it <nalioth> ubuntu-desktop doesn't have dpkg in it <ooodze> maybe it is harddisk error? <nalioth> i don't think you are issuing the correct command. <ooodze> or again - because of ubuntu-docs <ooodze> nalioth: how can i proof you about that command <ooodze> i've done exactly what you said <nalioth> ooodze: dpkg will return a specific error, not a generic one <ooodze> but i can't copy/paste it elsewhere <nalioth> what did the error say? <ooodze> i'll do it again, nalioth <ooodze> nalioth: the same error messages + segmentation fault (core dumped) <nalioth> ooodze: ask in #ubuntu <nalioth> there are hundreds of helpful people there <ooodze> nalioth: could you copy pastebin link and pictures of screen-photos from chan window <nalioth> can you log into kubuntu, ooodze ? <ooodze> nalioth: i do not have kubuntu-desktop <ooodze> nalioth: should i apt-get it? <nalioth> ooodze: installing it would get you kdm + kde (where you can see what is going on) <ooodze> nalioth: i am affraid, it will give the same dpkg errors <nalioth> i think you have some major problems, ooodze. please ask in #ubuntu as i am only one person, and don't have unlimited experience <ooodze> nalioth: sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop kdm kde ? <nalioth> kubuntu-desktop will bring all of it in <ooodze> okee. bye. it sounds a huge downloads. and it's already 1:30am in Latvia <ooodze> thank you for nice chattin <slyfox> What can I use to limit access to a computer for certain users at certain times ? <jojoman02> slyfox: ok first thing are you on the pc that you want to set this up on? <slyfox> jojoman02: yes <slyfox> Not at the moment htough <jojoman02> can you get on it now? <jojoman02> or write this down <slyfox> jojoman02: yes, let me write it down <jojoman02> to install the program type: --> sudo apt-get install timeoutd <jojoman02> make sure to include the d <slyfox> ok <jojoman02> that will install the program <jojoman02> now there will be a file you need to edit called /etc/timeouts <slyfox> ok <jojoman02> you do this by type the following: sudo gedit /etc/timeouts <slyfox> ok <jojoman02> then a file will pop up and it has some basic instructions <jojoman02> if you tell me the username and time you want to set it up on i can tell you what to type in <jojoman02> make sure you don't delete any of the lines starting with # <slyfox> user name: user and say weekdays from 6am till 10pm <jojoman02> and add the line i give you below the lines starting with # sign <jojoman02> slyfox: so sat and sun unlimited access (meaning all day & night?) <slyfox> jojoman02: untill 1am <jojoman02> slyfox: lemme do the first, i'm not sure how to set up the second access time <slyfox> jojoman02: let me install timeoutd on my laptop I want to see waht thsi file looks like <jojoman02> or maybe never mind i think we can make 2 lines for same users one sec <slyfox> I see 2: timeout and timeoutd what is the difference ? <jojoman02> ohh btw if you type man timeouts in a terminal it will give you instructions on editing the file <jojoman02> u know about the terminal right? <slyfox> yes <jojoman02> 6am-10pm mon-fri right? <slyfox> yes <jojoman02> do you want to set a maximum number of minutes/hours they can log on per day <jojoman02> like from 6-10 i want only 5 hours of computer time?? <slyfox> jojoman02: yes, say 2.5 hours ? <jojoman02> kk <jojoman02> it's in min so 150 min <slyfox> ok <jojoman02> how long u want a warning before logging the user off? <jojoman02> 10 min? <jojoman02> Wk0600-2200:*:user:*:*:150:150:10 <jojoman02> you put that line it <jojoman02> change the user line of the username is diff :) <slyfox> 10min <jojoman02> to make another line for Sa and Su you do the same except for the first thing u put <jojoman02> SaSu0600-2200:*:user blah blah blah <slyfox> aha, got it Wk Sa Su are the days <jojoman02> those 150:150 is how long users are allowed to login for the day <jojoman02> yeah it's all explained in --> man timeouts <jojoman02> and man timeoutd <jojoman02> man means manual <slyfox> why is it twice? 150:150 not jsut 150 ? <jojoman02> once per session <jojoman02> lets say you want only 30 min per login <jojoman02> but 90 min per day <slyfox> ahhh <slyfox> got it <slyfox> Wonder why or how would that be used ? <slyfox> To make the user take breaks ? <jojoman02> with idle times <jojoman02> it's all in the manual <slyfox> aha <jojoman02> just takes a while to figure out <jojoman02> the time is in army time (24 hours time) <jojoman02> as u figured <jojoman02> one user can have multiple rules <jojoman02> so make another rule for sat/sun limits <jojoman02> or any other users u need <slyfox> interesting <slyfox> I think I got the basics of it <jojoman02> the timeoutd runs at startup and monitors the rules file every min <slyfox> I will read more in the manual <jojoman02> to check if anyone is logged in that is not supposed to be <jojoman02> so even if they can login within a min they will get forcefully logged out, on the min :) <slyfox> what is the difference between timeout and timeoutd ? <jojoman02> timeout is the program that sends the shutdown command <jojoman02> and timeoutd is the program that monitors <jojoman02> like lets say u were running a server and wanted to kick off a certain user that you didn't make a rule for, you would use timeout to do it <jojoman02> sort of temporarily <slyfox> so both need to be installed ? <jojoman02> if it was a weekly/daily thing u would need a deamon <jojoman02> yes <jojoman02> but timeoutd installs timeout <jojoman02> it's a dependancy <slyfox> Excellent., <jojoman02> cuz timeoutd sends the command to timeout automatically based on the rules file /etc/timeouts <jojoman02> :) <jojoman02> u know how to edit files right? <jojoman02> make sure the user that you are talking about does not have ability of sudo'ing <jojoman02> cuz then he can modify the /etc/timeouts file <jojoman02> you do taht in system-> administration -> users <slyfox> yeah <jojoman02> uncheck administer the system in privelages <slyfox> one otehr question <jojoman02> kk <jojoman02> shoot <slyfox> when some other user is lgged in and I come in and want to do some administratror commands or wahtever, can I do that? becasue when I type in sudo osmething and it asks me for the password and I enter mine, it tell me that the apssword is wrong <jojoman02> when you are logged in as another user <slyfox> yes <slyfox> but that user is not an admin user <jojoman02> u either need to switch users <jojoman02> or use a virtual terminal (ctrl+alt+f1) <slyfox> like start a new session you mean <jojoman02> f1 through f7 will work <slyfox> Cool <jojoman02> f7 is the desktop <jojoman02> actually <jojoman02> it's running on vt7 <slyfox> so f1 should work <jojoman02> ctrl+alt+f1 <jojoman02> use your username and login <jojoman02> you could even run a session <jojoman02> but that is a little more complex <jojoman02> and u can't run gui tasks in a virtual terminal <jojoman02> but u can sudo anything <jojoman02> or use nano to edit files <slyfox> jojoman02: sudo would be enough for now <jojoman02> it takes some getting used to <jojoman02> better to just tell them to wait and you switch users, login and admin what you need to then logout and log back into their accounts <slyfox> Ok, thank you very much for all you help. I will write all of this down. I have a learned today. <jojoman02> slyfox: your welcome :) <jojoman02> slyfox: it's not that hard once you get used to the way things work:) <jojoman02> slyfox: in linux i mean :) <slyfox> jojoman02: oh yeah <slyfox> I start to enjoy Linux more and more every day <jojoman02> don't forget to read man <slyfox> yes, lots of reading <slyfox> Its fun when you finally get things working. #ubuntu-classroom 2007-03-04 <hjmf> @schedule madrid <bjames> soundray: hi? <soundray> Hi <soundray> Which part of the Recovering... page have you used? <bjames> soundray: right I have two IDE drives (hda1 - 160G and hda2 = 40G) there are three partitions - hda1 = / and swap and hda2 = /media/hda2 <ammz> Classroom hi <bjames> soundray: the first part <bjames> using hda(0) <bjames> hda(0 ) <bjames> setup (hd0) even <bjames> just to be clear I'm doing it again I'll do each step and tell you how it goes <bjames> 1.

So for example in line 3: <jrib> deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main multiverse restricted <jrib> you would make: <jrib> deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy main multiverse #restricted * jrib thinks that works... if not just put it on a new line <jrib> do the same for the other 3 lines that contain "restricted" <skjr> so i just want to comment out the word restricted? <jrib> skjr: yeah, that should work <nalioth> restricted is failing? <jrib> nalioth: yes, not really sure why <nalioth> change the us.archive to just plain archive and try again <nalioth> don't go shutting off repos <jrib> we were going to put them back :) <skjr> ok, i did that, still get an error when updating <jrib> what error? <skjr> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9572/ <jrib> skjr: you didn't comment all the restricted stuff <skjr> ok, let me check again <jrib> you can try nalioth's suggestion too, we should have tried that first in retrospect <skjr> you're right, i missed two <skjr> it updated without error this time <jrib> skjr: now uncomment and update again <skjr> ok, that appeared to work <skjr> should i go after the driver now? <jrib> skjr: yeah <skjr> i forget which one I was after, I'll have to look back through <skjr> i think it was this - sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx <skjr> does that sound right? <jrib> yes <skjr> it told me it was already the newest version <jrib> ok, back to this then: <jrib> !ati <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto <skjr> awesome, i'm going to restart X, thanks for your assistance <jrib> np <adrian_> Hi <jrib> hi <jrib> let's start over <adrian_> yeah <nalioth> jrib: don't you ever sleep? <jrib> adrian_: open a terminal, type "mount", hit enter, copy the output and paste it into the form at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org , then give me the url <adrian_> Problem: I want a shortcut on the top panel of my desktop to my hdd <jrib> nalioth: I knew i forgot something! <adrian_> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9628/ <jrib> adrian_: ok so you have hdd1 mounted at /share. This is the one you want to have the panel shortcut for right? <adrian_> I wnat to access my hdd1 drive through the shortcut on the panel <adrian_> yeah <jrib> ok right click and go to add to panel <jrib> what version of ubuntu btw? <adrian_> 1.60 <jrib> 6.10? <adrian_> ops yeah sorry <jrib> adrian_: do you see the button for "custom application launcher"? <adrian_> in add panel now <adrian_> yeah <jrib> ok click that, then select "File" as the type, give it a name, and input "/share" without quotes for location <jrib> and pick an icon <adrian_> but its not a file i want to acces but a dir <jrib> that's ok, directories are files too, everything on linux is a file <adrian_> so it's should be just /hare then? <jrib> /share, right <adrian_> yeah /share <adrian_> i couldn't do that <jrib> adrian_: why? <adrian_> accessdenied <jrib> that shouldn't happen :/ In a terminal, does this command work: nautilus /share <adrian_> yes, i go diectly to the dir <jrib> ok, you created the launcher though and when you click on it it says "access denied"? Or does it say "access denied" while you create it? <adrian_> it works the first time I click on it but the other time, it doesn't <adrian_> it's says "couldn't start application - no execuable objekt" <jrib> adrian_: strange... what if you edit the launcher and change it to Type "Application" and then change the command to "nautilus /share" (no quotes) <adrian_> hm...i can use the shortcut to /share but I want to go to /share/media/ but i wont <jrib> ok, what does this command return: ls -ld /share/media <adrian_> also i can go to /share as long as I don't move the shortcut to a different loc on the panel? <adrian_> then it doesn't recognize nautilus :( <adrian_> when I move the icon the command dir vanish :( <jrib> hmm I think I remember some bug on 6.10 about moving launchers <jrib> move it to where you want, then edit the properties, then don't move them anymore, does that work? <adrian_> I'll check <adrian_> no then i get the access denied message (It could run the program) <adrian_> this is my command at the mom: /share/media <jrib> adrian_: what is the output of this command: ls -ld /share/media <adrian_> jrib: this from the terminal - dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 2006-09-17 01:11 /share/media <jrib> adrian_: weird... what if you use something like /usr/share instead just to test? <adrian_> ok, paste it in under command in the shortcut on the panel but the same message :( <nalioth> jrib: you mean /usr/local/share? <nalioth> jrib: stay out of system space <jrib> nalioth: he's just creating a launher to view files and I have no idea why his mounted /share/media isn't working. Permissions are 555, root owned <jrib> adrian_: wait, why does it say command? <nalioth> jrib: just saying . . . <jrib> nalioth: ok :) <jrib> adrian_: is "File" chosen as the type? <nalioth> jrib: practice safe computing <adrian_> jrib: it might say path, got a swedish version so <adrian_> no program, and for some reason I can't choose file now when it is created, just Programs or Programs in terminal? <jrib> heh... did you try "nautilus /share/media" without quotes for that? <adrian_> i did another with file and dir /share/media but only comes to /share but it's working as long as I don't move it <jrib> yeah, it seems like you are being bitten by that bug <adrian_> yeah, i guess so. The nautilus /share/media loc didn't work <jrib> adrian_: even before you move it? <adrian_> i got it to work now, by typing in /share/Media <jrib> erm ok <adrian_> but i guess if I move it i wont work <adrian_> no, if I move it it stops working <jrib> the stuff is stored in ~/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers . See what it looks like before and after moving <adrian_> how do I look at that, trough the terminal? <jrib> you could, you could also just use nautilus <adrian_> where do I find this nautilus then? Under Programs? <jrib> nautilus is the file manager <jrib> you can go to Places > whatever <adrian_> ok, so it shiould be in the filesystem then? <jrib> ~ means /home/your_username <adrian_> i see <adrian_> just have desktop, examples and a file called wget - log there? <jrib> adrian_: anything that starts with a '.' is hidden. Show hidden files <adrian_> now i see it <adrian_> can you give me the loc again? <jrib> the stuff is stored in ~/.gnome2/panel2.d/default/launchers . See what it looks like before and after moving <adrian_> no differnce in the icons as far as I can see <jrib> idk then, try searching bugs.ubuntu.com for the bug, I'm pretty sure I saw it there once <adrian_> what is the name of the bug? <jrib> no idea <adrian_> :) <jrib> make sure to search for fixed bugs, because it has been fixed in the next version of ubuntu <adrian_> what do you mean? <adrian_> i should look for the fixedword in the status list? <jrib> in advanced search, it lets you choose to search "needs info", "unconfirmed", "fix released", etc.... by default it doesn't search "fix released" <adrian_> i see i'll try doing that some other time. Thanks soo much for all your help <adrian_> Jrib: thanks a bunch for helping me out <jrib> adrian_: np, hope you get it sorted out <adrian_> i did it partly, just have to make it stay in the same place :) <Botamis> jrib: alright <jrib> hi <Botamis> jrib: i appreciate the help man I really do <jrib> np, can you pastebin the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list please? <jrib> !pastebin <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) <Botamis> ok but how do i see sources.list? <jrib> use this command: gedit /etc/apt/sources.list <Botamis> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9685/ <jrib> Botamis: ok, since I can't see the gui window you have, we'll edit the file by hand <jrib> Botamis: close the text editor you now have open and type this command: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list <jrib> a couple of questions: <jrib> you have the cd-rom repository enabled, do you want to turn it off or leave it? <Botamis> umm <Botamis> i have no idea <Botamis> that means that i have to put in the cd to add a repo? <jrib> well it will usually prompt you to insert the cd-rom when you want to install things, which I find annoying <Botamis> yea that's really annoying <jrib> ok, second question: do you want to enable multiverse in addition to universe? <Botamis> what is the difference? <jrib> Botamis: multiverse includes non-free things, in the sense that they aren't open source <jrib> or have some weird license <Botamis> well chances are most websites are going to have non-free formats right? then I would want multi please <jrib> k <jrib> first lets disable the cd-rom: do you see line 5 that begins "deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 6.10 _..."? <Botamis> yes <jrib> delete it <Botamis> deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 6.10 _Edgy Eft_ - Release i386 (20061025.1)] / edgy main restricted <Botamis> that right? <jrib> right <Botamis> alright <jrib> ok now lets enable universe and multiverse <jrib> see lines 22 and 23? <jrib> remove the "#" at the beginning <Botamis> eb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy <Botamis> that line? <Botamis> deb* <jrib> they both should say "universe" at the end <Botamis> ok <Botamis> done <jrib> ok, now add " multiverse" to the end of both of those lines <Botamis> deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main restricted universe multiverse <Botamis> deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main restricted universe multiverse <jrib> do the same for 38 and 39 <Botamis> they both had it at the end to begin with <Botamis> how can i see the line numbers <jrib> Botamis: those aren't lines 22 and 23 <Botamis> ok how can i see the line numbers? <jrib> edit > preferences <Botamis> ## Uncomment the following two lines to add software from the 'backports' <Botamis> ## repository. <Botamis> that's 22-23 <Botamis> oo i think i deleted some spaces <jrib> use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9685/ as a reference then, it changed when you deleted line 5 I guess :) <Botamis> # deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe <Botamis> # deb-src http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy universe <Botamis> do i change universe or do i literally just add "multiverse" <jrib> juse add it to the end <jrib> remember to remove the "#" <Botamis> alright done <jrib> ok do the same for 38 and 39 <Botamis> does that line have security in it? <jrib> yes <Botamis> alright <Botamis> removed the comment and added multiverse <jrib> ok, now save and close <jrib> then run this command: sudo apt-get update <Botamis> uhh it couldn't save <jrib> is it still open? <Botamis> arg this is frustrating <Botamis> i have to redo it all, gimme a second <Botamis> wait <Botamis> i opened a read only <Botamis> shouldn't i do a sudo gedit instead? <jrib> Botamis: you need to open the editor by using this command: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list <Botamis> ok <jrib> k, delete line 5, and edit 22,23,38, and 39 <Botamis> ok done <jrib> save <jrib> close <jrib> sudo apt-get update <jrib> conquer <Botamis> 99% <Botamis> does this usually take a long time? <jrib> sometimes <Botamis> there we go <Botamis> done <jrib> ok now you have universe and multiverse <Botamis> so I now have the codec or not really <jrib> no, now you need to install the codec packages that that wiki page lists <Botamis> ok but i was following the steps again <Botamis> and I got stuck at the add part again, it just has room for a command line <Botamis> "Enter the complete APT line of the repository that you want to add as source" <jrib> you've done that, skip to the installing part <Botamis> can you use that command in #ubuntu to show me that link again please? <Botamis> never mind got it <jrib> !codecs <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats <jrib> Botamis: you can always /msg ubotu codecs and he will respond <Botamis> alright <Botamis> I pasted the code and it failed. <jrib> paste the ouptut <Botamis> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) <Botamis> E: Unable
