| [00:17] <korn788> hello im wanting to know if you can share your wireless connection to the enthernet card | |
| [00:36] <phiscribe> korn788, its is possible. i don't excactly know how to do it, other than you make a network bridge. if you are getting internet via wireless and want to connect another computer via the ethernet ports, you may also need a crossover cable. some ethernet cards can work with out the cross over cable as they are intellegent enough. others need the crossover cable. | |
| [00:38] <korn788> i have the crossover cable | |
| [00:38] <korn788> just need to know who to do it | |
| [00:42] <phiscribe> maybe this will help.....maybe | http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10861913/how-to-bridge-a-ethernet-adapter-to-a-wireless-adapter-in-linux | |
| [11:37] <Neverminder> hello | |
| [11:38] <Neverminder> i have question: is it hard for beginner to swich from ubuntu-based OS to opensuse? | |
| [11:38] <bioterror> you do it and tell us how you manage with opensuse | |
| [11:39] <Neverminder> oh, bioterror hi :) | |
| [11:39] <Neverminder> i'm just not sure... | |
| [11:39] <Neverminder> is it hard to install software... | |
| [11:40] <bioterror> yum yum | |
| [11:40] <Neverminder> im not so expieranced with building packages... | |
| [12:49] <phiscribe> Neverminder, opensuse has packa managers just like debian based distro's. you can use a gui or the command line. it's like cheech (or was it chong) said. "you know man its like the same but different" | |
| [15:20] <genii-around> Did Neverminder manage to get back into their box after the chmod on root fs ? | |
| [15:22] <bioterror> dunno | |
| [15:22] <bioterror> probably is installing OpenSuse now ;) | |
| [17:59] <IdleOne> When I use the mute button on my keyboard it mutes the sound as expected, but when I hit mute again it doesn't unmute. I have to click on the volume control and disable mute that way. How would I make it so the mute button on the keyboard does mute/unmute? | |
| [17:59] <holstein> IdleOne: i was told that was a known bug... happens in xfce too | |
| [17:59] <IdleOne> using Lubuntu 12.10 | |
| [18:00] <IdleOne> holstein: so, no fix for it yet ? | |
| [18:00] <holstein> IdleOne: i think its complex | |
| [18:00] <IdleOne> it isn't anything critical I guess, just annoying | |
| [18:02] <holstein> IdleOne: yup... took me a week to let that one go ;) | |
| [18:03] <Unit193> IdleOne: Upgrade? | |
| [18:04] <IdleOne> Unit193: yes, started with 11.04 - upgraded my way all the way up to 12.10. | |
| [18:04] <Unit193> IdleOne: Does it work to turn up the volume? Check ~/.config/openbox/lubuntu-rc.xml and look for XF86AudioMute, try amixer -q sset Master toggle in terminal too. | |
| [18:05] <IdleOne> yes, volume up/down buttons work as expected unless I use the mute button in which case the volume up doesn't unmute either. | |
| [18:07] <IdleOne> Unit193: what am I looking for when I find XF86AudioMute ? | |
| [18:08] <Unit193> What command it runs. | |
| [18:08] <IdleOne> amixer -q sset Master toggle | |
| [18:08] <IdleOne> So that seems right | |
| [18:09] <bioterror> that's not bad | |
| [18:09] <bioterror> grab a ibm sk-88 keyboard and Windows 7 :D | |
| [18:09] <Unit193> Now when you mute it, does PCM get muted too? (And thus not get unmuted) | |
| [18:09] <bioterror> 8815 actually | |
| [18:09] <bioterror> all those quick buttons doesnt work :D | |
| [18:09] <IdleOne> XF86AudioRaiseVolume == amixer -q sset Master 3%+ unmute | |
| [18:09] <IdleOne> but it doesn't unmute | |
| [18:10] <IdleOne> Unit193: How do i check if PCM is also being muted? | |
| [18:10] <Unit193> alsamixer | |
| [18:10] <IdleOne> Unit193: yes PCM also gets muted | |
| [18:12] <Unit193> bioterror: Can you amixer -q sset Master toggle;amixer -q sset PCM toggle in openbox config? :---D | |
| [18:13] <bioterror> wat? | |
| [18:13] <bioterror> that sentence did not make much sense | |
| [18:14] <Unit193> Hah, my bad. | |
| [18:15] <IdleOne> Unit193: Are you on the road to a fix ? :) | |
| [18:17] <Unit193> IdleOne: Try something like the command above, `amixer -q sset Master toggle;amixer -q sset PCM toggle` rather than just `amixer -q sset Master toggle` though I don't know if that'll actually work. | |
| [18:17] <bioterror> it muted my sounds | |
| [18:17] <Unit193> (After, run openbox --reconfigure ) | |
| [18:20] <Unit193> Yeah, takes two hits for unmute... | |
| [18:21] <IdleOne> do I need to sudo openbox --reconfigure ? | |
| [18:21] <Unit193> (I don't have one of those keyboards, just a cronjob to mute at night, unmute in the morning on one computer) | |
| [18:21] <Unit193> IdleOne: No, process is owned by you. | |
| [18:21] <IdleOne> nope, didn't work | |
| [18:23] <IdleOne> same behaviour as before | |
| [18:26] <IdleOne> lol I don't know what just happened but my theme just magically changed by itself and now I have no sound | |
| [18:26] <Unit193> Open alsamixer to check volumes. | |
| [18:27] <IdleOne> nothing is muted | |
| [18:28] <IdleOne> all I did was edit the line you suggested, saved and ran openbox --reconfigure ( NO sudo) | |
| [18:28] <IdleOne> after testing the mute button and it dodn't work I edited the file again and put it back to the way it was and again ran openbox --reconfigure | |
| [18:29] <IdleOne> didn't* | |
| [18:31] <IdleOne> hahahah, now the mute button on KB works but I have no sound | |
| [18:31] <IdleOne> this is too funny | |
| [18:35] <IdleOne> How would a restart the sound server? | |
| [18:45] <Unit193> IdleOne: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Advanced_Linux_Sound_Architecture should have all you need to fix alsa, I assume that's what you use? (Working on a failing hard drive too, fuuuun) | |
| [18:45] <Unit193> Or you could try the windows method. :P | |
| [18:47] <IdleOne> eh, I'm thinking a simple reboot will fix this for me | |
| [18:47] <IdleOne> I really don't feel like reading 9000 pages of goblygook | |
