[06:04:08] <sharpK> hmm, still the same windows error [06:04:08] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: ifconfig [06:04:30] <TimothyA> Ampelbein: already done that [06:04:32] <TimothyA> it has no effect [06:04:39] <Varazir> Ampelbein: didn’t work 
[06:04:45] <dr_willis> sharpK: try disabling the windows firewall as a test.. see if the windows box can ping the linux box. see if the linux box can ping/access shares on the windows box. [06:04:48] <TimothyA> I had to wait 20 HOURS on the server to get rebooted. it did that miracilously on its own [06:04:52] <sharpK> yeah, tried //192.168.1.103/share [06:04:54] <sharpK> will try [06:05:00] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: can you ping the name? can you ping the IP? [06:05:19] <sharpK> I can ping the ip [06:05:22] <sharpK> from windows [06:05:27] <Ampelbein> Varazir: “didn’t work” is not an error message. [06:05:38] <Varazir> Ampelbein: getting them 
[06:05:44] <dr_willis> sharpK: ive seen windows firewalls get in the way. i tend to disable them when im behind a router. [06:05:44] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: ok then you can use the IP as you said above [06:06:07] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: which version of windows is the client? [06:06:24] <dr_willis> sharpK: also i tend to just fallback to using ssh/winscp on windows. seems MS managed to make samba/shares impossible to get going with the latest windows versions [06:06:26] <Phr3d13> Any linux software devs in here? [06:06:30] <Ampelbein> TimothyA: You added the value to /etc/sysctl.conf and rebooted? [06:06:30] <sharpK> hmmm, just disbled the eset firewall for 10 minutes, but same error [06:06:48] <sharpK> well, I am on 7, so you may be right [06:06:48] <dr_willis> eset firewall? [06:06:53] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: if you run: smbtree from the sambe server, do you see the shares? [06:06:55] <Varazir> Ampelbein: http://pastebin.com/9D1xB0mi and http://pastebin.com/4XJVqCQA [06:07:01] <sharpK> but SSH would be 3rd party on all the rest of the windows comps, correct? [06:07:03] <TimothyA> Ampelbein: it crashed [06:07:07] <TimothyA> and then it rebooted [06:07:15] <TimothyA> after 20 hours [06:07:16] <dr_willis> sharpK: ssh and winscp are to handy to ignore. [06:07:16] <sharpK> ActionParsnip: smbtree? [06:07:24] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: yes, its a terminal command [06:07:26] <Varazir> Ampelbein: and http://pastebin.com/MM5Ebmuf [06:07:40] <Ampelbein> TimothyA: What value did you add? [06:07:56] <dr_willis> I have a hard time even getting a windows7 box to see other windows7 box’s on my homelan. ) [06:08:16] <sharpK> ActionParsnip, yes, it does come up in the list [06:08:19] <sharpK> my computer that is [06:08:38] <dr_willis> sharpK: the use ip not hostname trick normally works for me. [06:08:43] <sharpK> and I should have mentioned, I seem to be able to access the windows files from ubunutu [06:08:50] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: ok so now you can see for sure the share name. Do you have any spaces in the name, or is it just one word? [06:08:50] <sharpK> I even transferred af ile over to the desktop [06:09:20] <sharpK> dr_willis: I tried 192.168.1.103share, but got hte same error [06:09:27] <dr_willis> sharpK: thers also windows7 settings to block stuff not on the home network. i recall [06:09:36] <TimothyA> Ampelbein: kernel.panic = 10 [06:09:39] <sharpK> Actionparsnip: nope, it says WORKGROUP Servershare [06:09:40] <dr_willis> i started disabling eveyrhing i could find in windows.. and now i see stuff. [06:10:06] <Ampelbein> Varazir: Can you pastebin the output of ‘apt-cache policy lightdm’ and ‘apt-cache policy gdm’ for me? [06:10:16] <dr_willis> sharpK: perhaps restart the samba service. and/or enable its verbose logging. Its possible its a windows security setting causing the issues. [06:10:22] <sharpK> heh, could be it, I can access other windows computers on my network thouhg [06:10:26] <sharpK> just the ubuntu that’s giving me trouble [06:10:31] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: ok the samba server run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER then set the same password as you log in with as the samba password, now when you hit the server you should be challenged for au<Ampelbein> TimothyA: What is the result of uname -a? [06:10:49] <TimothyA> 2.6.32-24-server #43-Ubuntu SMP Thu Sep 16 16:05:42 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux [06:10:51] <dr_willis> because MS likes to enable special scrutity things. (homegroup stuff) and other annoyances. [06:11:26] <dr_willis> sharpK: so NONE of the windows machines can see the linux box.. it can see all the windows machines… and the window machines can see each other? [06:11:30] <Varazir> Ampelbein: http://pastebin.com/UBwPTuiR http://pastebin.com/fw065pnG [06:11:49] <happygol1cky> sharpK: another point is if you’re using a wireless adapter for windows you want to enable the wireless zero configuration [06:12:07] <sharpK> dr_willis, I’ll try to run to another room and see if I can get into ubunutu from there… [06:12:18] <sharpK> happygol1cky: nope, all through ethernet into a WRT54g [06:12:22] <dr_willis> sharpK: ive definatly had shares not work when on wireless.. and then do work when wired on windows.. it may be what happygol1cky just mentioned. [06:12:37] <dr_willis> sharpK: vnc would save the running around. [06:12:43] <sharpK> Actionparsnip: done, but the same error in wondows [06:12:45] <gjois> hello!! [06:12:59] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: ive seen users had to reboot router and server [06:13:22] <dr_willis> ive seen people fight for hrs getting a share to show up.. then suddendly it appears….. with nothing done on their end.. [06:13:31] <sharpK> I guess I’ll have to give it a go, brother it playing Dota2 though, so a reboot could mean the end of me right now… [06:13:44] <happygol1cky> sharpK: did you allow 192.168.1.* [06:13:56] <sharpK> happygol1cky: ubuntu or windows? [06:14:02] <sharpK> and how? [06:14:03] <happygol1cky> smb conf [06:14:16] <dr_willis> I got a $20 NAS with USB. that every box in the house can see.. the boxeebox (running some linux) can see every share.. but ive had windows box’s not want to see each other… go figure. [06:14:28] <Ampelbein> Varazir: Ok, could you have a look at 805154 and try the workaround mentioned there (with lightdm)? [06:14:33] <Ampelbein> Varazir: bug 805154 [06:14:34] <ubottu> Launchpad bug 805154 in gdm (Ubuntu) “gdm-simple-slave crashed with SIGSEGV in _nss_compat_getpwnam_r()” [High,Triaged] https://launchpad.net/bugs/805154 [06:14:36] <sharpK> what is the specific line I would look for? [06:14:51] <Varazir> Ampelbein: can do that [06:15:30] <dr_willis> we need sshfs for windows [06:16:22] <sharpK> happygol1cky: I search for 192.168 in the smc.conf file, it doesn’t find anything, so what line to I add [06:16:23] <sharpK> ? [06:16:44] <gjois> im running windows and need to install virtual box and boot ubuntu on it. But i heard that virtualbox degrades memory performance, so want install only text-mode ubuntu on virtualbox. can anyone gui<Ampelbein> TimothyA: Sorry, I can’t find any problem mentioned with this kernel not respecting kernel.panic setting. It SHOULD work, no idea why it doesn’t for you. [06:17:06] <dr_willis> Hmm.. there are some sshfs for windows projects out there… nifty [06:18:13] <ActionParsnip> gjois: grab the server or minimal install and run that, you will get a CLI based OS. If you want a mouse based interface, install desktop. It doesn’t degrade memory performance, you are just <happygol1cky> sharpK: i think i might have been thinking print server, nevermind that, but in that file you should set path, browsable to yes, read only to no, quest ok = no, create mask = 0644, directory m<ActionParsnip> dr_willis: swish-sftp [06:19:52] <happygol1cky> *guest not quest [06:20:09] <sharpK> happygol1cky: restarting the ubuntu now, will try it when as soon as it comes up [06:22:49] <Varazir> Ampelbein: there is no workaround, like forcing ubuntu use the last setting and not scaning for a screen ? [06:23:40] <Ampelbein> Varazir: The problem is a segfault (also known as a crash) in your logs. It seems a known problem with gdm, that’s why I asked to try with lightdm. [06:23:46] <dr_willis> ActionParsnip: just saw one called dokan sshfs.. but i cant figure out how to get it to use my ssh key. [06:24:03] <Varazir> Ampelbein: ok [06:24:13] <Ampelbein> Varazir: Comment #11 from the bug link. [06:24:38] <canterer> why I cannot kill the thread ? [06:24:51] <canterer> ps aux | grep ‘java’ [06:24:52] <Guest85224> is there a way to convert batch all files in folders from encoding ascii to utf8? [06:24:53] <Varazir> Ampelbein: gona look into it [06:25:05] <canterer> yp 6393 0.0 0.2 41580 8716 pts/0 Tl 19:21 0:00 vim hello.java [06:25:11] <canterer> kill 6393 [06:25:28] <canterer> but the thread is alive [06:25:30] <ActionParsnip> canterer: try: kill -9 6393 [06:25:41] <A_J> hello ActionParsnip [06:25:47] <ActionParsnip> A_J: yo yo yo [06:25:48] <happygol1cky> sharpK: http://paste.ubuntu.com/751303/ that’s what mine looks like, the share is at the bottom [06:26:12] <canterer> OK thanks , but what is the reason ? [06:26:39] <Varazir> Ampelbein: /usr/sbin/lightdm is allready as default [06:26:44] <ActionParsnip> canterer: no idea, maybe it’s hung and a graceful kill won’t work. -9 will kill it with no regard for consequence [06:27:04] <Ampelbein> Varazir: Then try ‘sudo service lightdm restart’ [06:27:18] <Ampelbein> Guest85224: iconv can do that [06:27:42] <A_J> ActionParsnip: u here, or goin in some time ? [06:27:44] <canterer> ah fun:) [06:27:53] <ActionParsnip> A_J: in and out [06:28:08] <happygol1cky> sharpK: you could also access it from ssh, I use cygwin and putty for complete access [06:28:13] <A_J> kk needed some help partioning, when i reach the screen during installation will ping u [06:28:26] <ActionParsnip> A_J: ask the channel [06:28:42] <A_J> but ut awesome [06:28:45] <A_J> ur* [06:30:42] <sharpK> do I have to restart samba after saving the smv.conf file? [06:30:45] <sharpK> *smb.conf [06:31:00] <Ampelbein> sharpK: yes [06:31:07] <ActionParsnip> A_J: i’ll see it and so will everybody else [06:31:07] <sharpK> cmd? [06:31:17] <happygol1cky> service smbd restart [06:31:19] <ActionParsnip> A_J: x+1 > 1 [06:32:06] <ActionParsnip> sharpK: failing that use: sudo service smbd stop; sudo service smbd start [06:33:28] <Varazir> Ampelbein: worked 
now I just make it restart it self if it fail [06:33:53] <Guest27720> hi – was wondering how i disable xorg to install drivers from nvidia website . any help would be great [06:35:26] <sharpK> Well, some progress [06:35:26] <sharpK> http://i.imgur.com/DOKr3.png [06:35:37] <sharpK> It could see the new [___] folder I created [06:35:47] <sharpK> but still gave an error [06:35:55] <sharpK> I tried setting guest ok = yes [06:35:58] <sharpK> bt stil got that [06:36:20] <sharpK> I set force group = WORKGROUP, but could that be wrong? [06:37:25] <happygol1cky> sharpK: you’re positive wireless zero cinfiguration is an enabled service and running? [06:37:26] <Guest27720> or at least what i can do to disable xorg so i can install the drivers from the website :S [06:37:48] <sharpK> isn’t wireless zero for wifi? [06:37:55] <happygol1cky> yes [06:38:07] <sharpK> both computers are connected by ethernet to a WRT54G router [06:38:15] <sharpK> I know they can somehwat see eachother [06:38:19] <sharpK> because I got synergy working on both [06:38:23] <sharpK> the mouse and keyboard transfer over [06:38:26] <sharpK> so that’s something [06:38:31] <solringel> hi i need help with something [06:39:12] <Guest27720> so can anyone shoot me advice or am i going to have to botch my xorg.conf file so it doesnt load properly [06:39:29] <CoinBR> Just installed Ubuntu Server and 2 network cards (same models). One of them work OK as eth0. But the second one is UNCLAIMED and don’t work [06:39:31] <happygol1cky> Guest27720: i dont think xorg has a conf file anymore [06:39:34] <CoinBR> why? [06:39:52] <CoinBR> lshw shows the second ethernet card as UNCLAIMED, and had no MAC ADDRESS [06:40:28] <ActionParsnip> CoinBR: what is the chip it uses? [06:40:33] <A_J> damn how long does it take for the live cd to boot up 
[06:40:36] <Guest27720> happygolicky it does , do some of my config through it . so i guess ima have to do that since im having a hard time finding out what ubuntu is using as the main login manager like gdm/kdm/xdm [06:40:45] <solringel> i am using ubuntu 11.10 with unity and there is an option to show battery life with time remaining but when i set it it doesnt do anything how do i fix that? [06:41:20] <CoinBR> ActionParsnip: RLT-8139/8139C/8139C+ [06:41:39] <CoinBR> ActionParsnip: both of them are the same model [06:41:55] <happygol1cky> Guest27720: i have nvidia, http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html i downloaded this for 64 bit. chmod +x and then ./FILENAME it installs nvidia drivers [06:42:47] <solringel> i am using ubuntu 11.10 with unity and there is an option to show battery life with time remaining but when i set it it doesnt do anything how do i fix that? [06:42:53] <Guest27720> happy – it asks me to disable xorg to install the drivers unfortunatly [06:43:01] <ActionParsnip> happygol1cky: the nvidia drivers are in the repos [06:43:12] <happygol1cky> not for 3d vision sir [06:43:21] <happygol1cky> which i have [06:43:30] <ActionParsnip> happygol1cky: yes, the nvidia driver from nvidia is in the repos [06:43:33] <A_J> ActionParsnip: how long does the live cd normally take to boot up A? [06:43:42] <Guest27720> 3d vision is an addon to the driver itself 
[06:43:44] <ActionParsnip> A_J: depends on spec [06:43:55] <ActionParsnip> Guest27720: oh vison.. [06:43:58] <Guest27720> but can anyone just let me know how to safley disable xorg while i install the drivers [06:44:02] <Guest27720> im not doing 3d vision [06:44:09] <Guest27720> just drivers from nvidias website
