Ubuntu :: Adding Networks And Channels To XChat IRC?
Oct 9, 2010
I have recently downloaded the XChat IRC program, and I want to add a network, server and channel. However, I'm not entirely sure which goes where. I have made numerous attempts but all have shown the message that it could not be connected to and that I should make sure I spelled it correctly (which I have). If anyone could help me find the proper fields to put the information into, I would be very grateful. Here is all the information I can find on the matter:
Server: irc.esper.net
Room: #tigIRC
URL: irc://irc.esper.net/tigIRC

I've installed RPMforge and Smart Package Manager.
I had to create my own Centos 5.5 channels to sync yum repos and smart channels.
Here's the Centos 5.5 channel file for Smart:
Just shut Smart PM down, copy this file into /etc/smart/channels, and restart smart.
Smart should then detect the new channels (repos) for Centos 5.5
Update your channels in Smart, and you should then have yum repos and smart channels both in sync, looking at the same set of packages.
Copy this to CentOS-Base.channel, and add it to the /etc/smart/channels directory.
# CentOS-Base.repo
#
# The mirror system uses the connecting IP address of the client and the
# update status of each mirror to pick mirrors that are updated to and

I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, Natty Narwhal, 64-bit. I've been using it since Alpha, and Firefox and xChat have always frozen my system. I update daily, so I know I'm on the newest updates, yet they still freeze my system. I've tried doing a total uninstall on both of them and reinstalled to the same freezes.

I am trying to configure my android phone (rooted Eris running kaossfroyo 2.2) to be used as a midi controller. Which I am having enough trouble with as it is but it has raised an annoying issue that occurred a month ago when I used the phones tethering network with my laptop. After connecting the laptop to the phones network (either tether, or an Ad-hoc network created using the network manager) I am unable to switch to other networks. In other words when I'm done with the phone-laptop connection I cannot connect my laptop to my home network! When I click on the other network connection I can see that it is attempting to connect in the upper right corner of the desktop (the network icon) but it will not make the connection.
What happens is that the network indicator will make the little circle graphic as if it is trying to connect but it never will display the other circle as green indicating that it has connected. but when I disconnect from the home network that is not connecting I will get a message underneath that will say that ad-hoc network disconnected! If I am switching from the android tether it will say Android-Tether disconnected etc. Even though when I click on network manager it shows that I am attempting to connect to the home network (labeled LIBERTY in my case) upon disconnection it shows the ad-hoc or tether connection being disconnected.
I am absolutely baffled by this! The issue persists even after deleting the ad-hoc connection from the wireless settings tab!!! I would speculate that for some reason the laptop is attempting to connect to the previous ad-hoc connection despite me wanting it to connect to LIBERTY. I am very confused and hope someone can lead me in the right direction.

Anyone else getting this? It's very strange that it can play .wav files but not .ogg.
This is a clean install of 11.2 64bit as of yesterday, all other sound works well.
When it tries to play a .ogg it sounds like raw data is being catted to /dev/audio or something.

I've never used irc and I decided I'd just like to learn how it works. I've got Xchat installed, I can easily find networks and channels with users in it, but then I can never see any messages. I see the initial channel messages when I join, but even in channels with hundreds of people I don't see any other messages come up.

I'm trying to use Xchat, to communicate with a server which uses CAcert root certificate(s) for its SSL connection. I have Xchat all configured, and it works fine when I connect without SSL, but I'm getting pretty miffed about how to get it to find/use whatever local certificates I'm supposed to have, assuming I actually *have* these certs installed somewhere. This seems like it should be less difficult than I'm making it out to be. I've been to CAcert's website and their Wiki, and while they have the root certificates available for download (which I did, as well as inadvertently installing them into my browser, where they probably already were anyway) the only instructions I saw in their "Linux" docs department, on how/where to use/put them, were for a couple RH based distros, and some other distro I'm not using.
I checked the Xchat website and had a somewhat semi-thorough look around their user forum, but didn't find what I need there either. The openssl man page (yes, it's installed) doesn't tell me what I want, and xchat doesn't even *have* a man page. An LQ search turns up a few off-topic threads, mainly several years old and with very little in the way of replies. This ought to be easy :/ and I bet it is easy, with the right documentation in front of me. This is Slackware 13-64/-current. I've got /etc/ssl/certs folder, with nothing in it; and I have an /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf file which *appears* to be intended for using SSL on my own server (don't want that).
In case it helps, here's what the server tells me when I have enabled SSL and try to connect:
Code:
[15:47] * * Certification info:
[15:47] * Subject:
[15:47] * CN=irc.twice-irc.de
[15:47] * Issuer:
[15:47] * O=CAcert Inc.
[15:47] * OU=http:
[15:47] *
[15:47] * www.CAcert.org
[15:47] * CN=CAcert Class 3 Root
[15:47] * Public key algorithm: rsaEncryption (4096 bits)
[15:47] * Sign algorithm sha1WithRSAEncryption
[15:47] * Valid since Jun 13 14:38:18 2008 GMT to Jun 13 14:38:18 2010 GMT
[15:47] * * Cipher info:
[15:47] * Version: TLSv1/SSLv3, cipher AES256-SHA (256 bits)
[15:47] * Connection failed. Error: unable to get local issuer certificate.? (20)
Can someone point me to a decent link/tutorial about how to connect by IRC, (using Xchat if that matters), and have it find my SSL certs and/or where/how I get the CA root certificates in the right location for this to work?

I am trying to configure irssi to work correctly after having used XChat for quite some time. When I try to join #fedora on Freenode, however, I am unable to identify my username (which worked fine in XChat). Subsequently, I automatically join #fedora-unregistered (see http://pastebin.com/XUcx7CLe). I have edited the contents of the ~/.irssi/config file using /COMMAND in the irssi client (see http://pastebin.com/zV7NZYKG). I think these are the most relevant parts of the configuration file where the problem must lie.
Code:
{
address = "irc.freenode.net";
chatnet = "Freenode";
port = "6667";
use_ssl = "no";
ssl_verify = "no";
autoconnect = "yes";

I could use Wireless network. I could see several different networks in my range. Then suddenly the network stoppedworking, and I can no longer see any networks under "Wireless networks".The Wired networks works fine.I tried upgrading ubuntu, but nothing changed. Just to confirm, I rebooted the computer in Windows Vista (Dual boot) andconfirmed that Wireless worked fine there. No hardware problem then.The suggestions I have found on this and other forums suggest looking at the output from iwconfig and ifconfig. But since I'm a n00b at Ubuntu I don't know what to make of it.
This is the output:
emil@emils:~$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.

I am setting up a MythTV environment to switch from Windows based MediaPortal (with a high number of disturbing bugs). Yet, I have three difficulties, which I want to discuss with you. They are:
- No audio via HDMI [URL]
- Video resolution seems to change during video playback [URL]
- Channels cannot be found via DVB-S
As you can see, I have created three posts to keep discussions focused.
Alltogether I have the following setup:
- AMD 5050e CPU
- 8 GByte RAM
- Biostar TA890GXE
- Samsung LE40M86BD, connected via HDMI (and only HDMI)
- Mythbuntu 10.10 with proprietary drivers installed
- Technisat Skystar HD2 DVB-S card (two times)
Now, here is the problem:
when I try to scan for any available satellite channels to use in Myth, I cannot find any channels. I have invoked "scan -V -l UNIVERSAL -s 1 -a 0 /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E" with the following result:
Code:
scanning /usr/share/dvb/dvb-s/Astra-19.2E
using '/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0' and '/dev/dvb/adapter0/demux0'
initial transponder 12551500 V 22000000 5

I have a Yuan/Avermedia MC770 mini PCI hybrid card. When I installed ubuntu 11.04 for the first time it found an update for it automatically which I was quite happy about. I installed Me TV and thought so far it was all going quite well. connected it to a roof top aerial and it wouldn't find any channels what so ever Has ubuntu really found and installed the correct drivers? I tried VLC and Media player no result.

Right now I'm trying to get MythTV to bring in my channels. I can see all the channels when I use the Watch TV feature on the frontend, but in the backend I can't get it to work.
In the input COnnections>Television section, I am set up for Schedules Direct. My "Scan for Channels" button is disabled, so I can't use that. However, the "Fetch Channels" button, though enabled does nothing. It doesn't depress when I select it or anything. I can't figure out why. I know my username and password are entered correctly, so I'm drawing a blank.
My video source setup is also set with SD.
I have an Analog V4L capture card selected in the capture cards section. It's a AVI TV Wonder Pro (an old card, but free). It seems to be set up correctly since I can "Watch TV" with it.
In the channel editor, I also do not have the option to do a channel scan. It skips right over that button.

I am trying to configure my Kubuntu desktop since some time to have Mumble working perfectly... It was running in the past, i re-installed some days ago and now i have a huge problem. Basically, capturing the microphone works and it's sent to Mumble, however everybody also hears my desktop sound. I tried adjusting channels in KMix with no luck. Also i don't understand why the capture channels are enabled and must stay at minimum volume...

I'm running a standard 10.04 install with Gnome, but wanted to try out KDE 4.5 since it just came out. Now I installed KDE through the normal software channels and this installed 4.4.5. The question is how do I now upgrade to 4.5 as it appears 4.5 isn't in the stable ubuntu update channels?

I can't get respond through normal channels, all I can use is my phone. My keyboard is disabled. My PC is pretty much a paper weight. Both of them. The only way they could be getting in is through the wifi. I don't know if there is anything I can do. My recovery programsare not accessible. Even onstartup. Is it possible to clear the hard drive another way? I've heard fire purifies, I couldn't get another disc to boot up to reinstall ubuntu. Please text me any ideas, but please be specific with command lines, I have trouble with all the () and / [ and where they go.

I was asking around in some IRC channels earlier trying to develop some thoughts on how NFS is better than CIFS. I set up a FreeNAS file server, and that's where all of my data now resides on a pair of raided drives. That way my main desktop, which is kind of a power hog gaming rig, can be powered off since I pretty much live on my laptop now. Anyway, I began to tinker with CIFS and NFS. Since some family members in the household use Windows, I definitely need CIFS. But I wanted to bounce back to NFS too and check it out.
While I do think it's nice I don't have to worry about authentication to the NAS box when using NFS, it's still a little scary. Being that it's more of a trust method instead of actual authentication, truthfully all a user needs to get into your data is the path to your NFS share and a matching UID. I mean, am I wrong by saying this? Sure, it may seem like NFS is convenient, but this angle of it is a little scary. I just don't feel like that screams "secure."
On the flip side, you have CIFS, which uses a user authentication level. So I hit my little shortcut to my NAS and it asks me who I am. I log in and bam, I have connection. I can browse other folders on the share, etc. This is convenient because I do have a "public" share on here with a generic user. That way if friends come over and want to transfer something to me, I have them drop it in the public share and I later transfer it accordingly. Since there is a user level authentication, this to me seems a little more secure.
Speed wise I was a little concerned, as some users have said NFS is faster than CIFS. Well, they might be right. But I did a few bench tests here on my laptop, using the same exact share except one with CIFS one with NFS. I stayed in the exact same location and transferred the same 300mb file in each instance.
NFS - 1.7mb/s
CIFS - 1.5/mb/s
Not exactly enough to warrant a huge argument over, so I leave that argument along the road to be forgot about since it doesn't really have any bearing on this situation. I like things about both NFS and CIFS. I just want to know why is it "not optimal" to use a full blown CIFS setup even if you're using 100% Linux systems.

It doesn't matter if I set the audio to 5.1 or 7.1, the center and LFE are silent. I had the same problem in 9.10 but I could work around by using the alsamixer to set the center to 90%, quit, then set back to 100%. This doesn't work in 10.04 as the controls in the alsamixer can't be changed. Is there any way I can get the center channel working? All I can do at the moment is set the sound properties to 4.0 so that the center channel is automatically redistributed to the other channels, but that isn't a great solution.

I use Kaffeine Version 1.0-pre2 and xine 0.99.6 on Fedora 12 64-bit. If I try to watch HD-channels (such as Das Erste HD, ZDF HD, arte HD), there is no sound (or just a few seconds). I read some times, that setting the audio buffer to 750 and the video buffer to 1000 should solve the problem

I had a look at No TV in Kaffeine, but I'm lost. I have an HDTV wonder card. I have installed dvb, ffmpeg, w32-codecs, etc. I am able to watch video/hear audio.
I have updated the scan data in kaffeine, adjusted device 1 tab to my area, but when I open the channels window and scan, it just goes through the motions and lists nothing. Here i partial output from:
randolph@linux-jooj:~> scan /usr/share/dvb/atsc/us-NTSC-center-frequencies-8VSB

I can't get mythtv to play television with my Hauppauge HVR-850 tv card. I was able to view tv in mplayer, so I know that the card is working. The tv signal is broadcast only (no cable). I had to set the card type to DVB DTV capture card (v3.x) to get mythtv-setup to successfully scan. I was able to successfully scan both with a "full scan" and with a channels.conf file that I had generated earlier when tinkering tv in mplayer. Unfortunately, the mythtv frontend failed to play any live tv. It said "Error: MythTV is using all inputs, but there are no active recordings?"
