mksok gracias ;)00:01
ardchoilleskyfalcon866: You can use the composite manager included with kde or you can use compiz-fusion00:01
skyfalcon866whats better00:01
ardchoille!compiz | skyfalcon86600:01
ubotuskyfalcon866: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion00:01
ardchoilleskyfalcon866: Only you can answer that. I like kcompmgr and dislike compiz00:02
skyfalcon866can you zoom in00:02
skyfalcon866in kcompmgr00:02
skyfalcon866!kcompmgr00:03

Radi01!info kompmgr00:06
ubotuPackage kompmgr does not exist in gutsy00:06
ardchoilleRadi01: It's part of kde, it's not a package00:06
Radi01oh00:06
muimota__well I was looking for some kind of !error or somthng like taht I just have found a wrnig related with dhcp00:06
ardchoillemuimota__: You can do things like: grep fail /var/log/syslog00:07
skyfalcon866is ubuntu faster than kubuntu00:08
Xeroskyfalcon866, GNOME is slightly lighter than KDE, but that doesn't make it better or faster.00:09
muimota__ok, thanks ardchoille00:10
ardchoilleLearning the command line has its advantages :)00:10
muimota__ardchoille:http://pastebin.ca/80398600:12
ardchoillemuimota__: You have a USB hard drive?00:14
XeroMy BIOS has problems with those.00:14
XeroMakes me think I've bricked my PC.00:14
XeroOh noes. A r00t00:15
draikAaahhhh... The joys of having nobody call.00:15
muimota__yes but right now it's not plugged in00:15
Radi01lol draik  dsl ok today?00:15
XeroDoes anyone recommend flashing a new BIOS to this computer?00:15
ardchoillemuimota__: Is this a laptop?00:16
XeroIf so, what's a tool for doing it on Linux?00:16
draikRadi01: I have learned to just laugh like a maniac when somone calls, if that counts.00:16
Radi01haha00:16

ardchoillemuimota__: Have you tried adding acpi=off to the kernel line of /boot/grub/menu.lst ?00:17
muimota__no, I'll do it right now00:17
muimota__acpi is for power saving no?00:17
draikOk? Now my cell phone just restarted at random.00:17
ardchoillemuimota__: What's happening is you are experiencing a hardware problem. Have you changed/added/remove hardware lately?00:18
draikI hope that's not the new sign of a call coming into the house00:18
ardchoillemuimota__: It's some laptop features00:18
* ardchoille calls draik 00:18
ardchoille:P00:18

Radi01lol00:21

kendallHi.  Kubuntu n00b here.  When I get the error message "no plugin found to handle this resource (dvd://)", where can I go to get the plugin I need?00:24
Radi01playing dvd?00:24
benpiccokendall: you prophaly need libdvdcss00:24
kendalltrying to, yes.00:24
Radi01^00:25
Radi01midibuntu00:25
kendallok, and where do I find that?00:25
Radi01or what ver its called00:25
GrahamAkendall: I assume it's a comercial encrypted DVD00:25
kendallis it on my kubuntuinstall disc?00:25
ardchoille!medibuntu00:25
ubotumedibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org00:25
GrahamAkendall: I have the .deb lemme find the link00:25
kendallno, burned it myself00:25
GrahamADon't use medibuntu because it's horrificly slow.00:25
kendallin winxp00:25
ardchoilleGrahamA: medibuntu is quite fast for me.00:26
kendallKaffeine Player00:26
GrahamAHave you installed the kubuntu-restricted extras package00:26
GrahamAardchoille: You from the US?00:26
=== pauljw_ is now known as pauljw
benpiccotry adding deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free to your /etc/apt/sources.list00:26
GrahamAkendall: Install that and libdvdread00:26
kendallI just let it install all oon its own, GrahamA00:26
GrahamAkendall: I don't mean as an option on first install, I mean go into adept and do it.00:26
GrahamAardchoille: I'm from the UK so maybe why but I only get about 20kbs from it.00:27
kendallok, remember, I'm a total n00b.  just booted about 5 minutes ago, for the first time from the HD.00:27
kendalllemme go try ad find it00:27
GrahamAkendall: k menu, system, adept manager00:28
kendallyeah, found it00:28
GrahamAWonderful.00:29
Kr4t05I need a GUI app that can convert m4a files to MP3.00:29
ardchoilleGrahamA: Ah,ok00:29
GrahamAKr4t05: Consider Konvertor00:29
GrahamAI think...00:29
GrahamAlemme check.00:29
GrahamAKr4t05: soundkonvertor00:30
GrahamAYou need to install some backends too.00:30
Kr4t05Thanks00:31
GrahamAKr4t05: And consider converting them to ogg vorbis instead :)00:31
Kr4t05GrahamA: Can't... :/00:31
kendallok, GrahamA, got adept open, and looking for the kubuntu-restricted extras package you mentioned, but don't see it on the list00:31
LjLconverting a comrpessed format to a compressed format? ugh00:31
GrahamAKr4t05: Is it for a music player or something?00:31
Kr4t05Amarok, for some reason, bugs out when I try to sync oggs to my DAP.00:31
Kr4t05GrahamA: Yeah.00:31
Kr4t05Well, at the moment, I'm making backups.00:31
GrahamAbecacse it's called kubuntu-restricted-extras00:31
GrahamAKr4t05: What music player do you have?00:32
GrahamADoes it actually support .ogg or won't amarok copy them over?00:32
Kr4t05iAudio F2, and yes, I know it plays Oggs.00:32
Kr4t05Amarok just won't copy them over.00:32
Kr4t05It's a bug in the current build, I think.00:32
GrahamAKr4t05: How much space is it, is it good quality, price and would you recommend it?00:33
kendallnothing on the list called kububtu-restricted-extras, or anything even remotely like it.  let me look around some more.00:33
GrahamAkendall: You realise you can just type kubuntu into the search box and it'll show up in a much smaller list?00:34
kendalldo I need to "fetch updates"?00:34
GrahamAYes you do.00:34
kendallah, no, I hadn't figured that out, yet, thanks00:34
Kr4t05F2 comes in two (three?) sizes, 2GB,4GB(8GB), Fairly decent player for under $200, has a photo and text view, and also has builtin mic and line-in recording.00:34
ardchoillekendall: Updates is something you should check for and install on a daily basis.00:34
kendallok, I'll fetch away....00:34
kendalldaily?00:34
Kr4t05GrahamA: Check Cowon's site.00:34
kendalloh my.00:34
kendallheehee00:34
GrahamANo just when you're getting packages.00:35
GrahamAAdept notifier automaticly does a check for upgradeable packages.00:35
ardchoilleUpdates is something you should check for and install on a daily basis.00:35
GrahamAIt'll probably pop up after you check.00:35
GrahamAKr4t05: Could you link me please?00:35
ardchoilleGrahamA: I don't trust adept. it never shows updates until I manually do: sudo apt-get update00:35
Kr4t05Adept Notifier bugs out when I run compiz.00:35
ardchoilleThen it pops up telling me there are updates00:36
ardchoilleBut, by then I already know about them.00:36
GrahamAardchoille: That's odd...00:36
GrahamAWorks for me.00:36
Kr4t05http://www.cowonamerica.com/products/iaudio/f2/ -- Has video support, but the transcode method is a bit obscure. I have to write a script for it using snippets from various forums.00:37
kendallok, I fetched, still no kubuntu-restricted anything on the list.....00:37
Kr4t05GrahamA: A decent player, though.00:37
ardchoillekendall: Whic release of kubuntu are you using?00:37
kendall7.0400:38
Kr4t05To be honest... And this may get me skinned, but I kinda wish someone would hack up support for Zunes in the near future. :/00:38
ardchoille!info kubuntu-restricted-extras Feisty00:38
ubotuPackage kubuntu-restricted-extras does not exist in feisty00:38
ardchoillekendall: ^^ :)00:38
ardchoilleThat's why00:38
Kr4t05They look... decent, even for a Microsoft product.00:38
kendallok00:38
kendallso, do I need to acquire that?00:39
Radi01time for 7.1000:39
benpiccoyou could upgrade to 7.1000:39
ardchoillekendall: My advice is to upgrade to Gutsy or simply do without restricted extras. What exactly are you trying to do?00:39
kendallshouldn't 7.04 be able to play a DVD?00:39
Radi01geter done.00:39
kendallwell, for one, play a DVD, just as a test00:39
ardchoillekendall: It can, I have been watching dvd's in kubuntu since Dapper00:39
ardchoillekendall: You need to install some things..00:40
Radi01vlc does00:40
kendall7.04 is "Feisty", then?00:40
kendallok, how do I know what to install, ardchoille?00:40
ardchoillekendall: Yes, Feisty00:40
ardchoillekendall: sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg libdvdread3 libdvdnav400:41
kendalleek!00:41
Radi01lol00:41
kendallremember, total n00b00:41
ardchoillekendall: You will also need libdvdcss2 but it's only available from the medibuntu repo, you need to use medibuntu00:41
GrahamAkendall: You're on feisty?00:41
kendallyes00:41
GrahamAInstall ubuntu-restricted-extras00:41
kendallthere aren't any00:42
Kr4t05GrahamA: Bearing in mind, the software that comes with that DAP is Windows-only and bad quality at that.00:42
GrahamADAP?00:42
rosenick marie111600:42
Kr4t05GrahamA: MP3 Player00:42
GrahamAKr4t05: Eventually I'll get round to finding a Linux compatible non-Aplle MUSIC player.00:42
ardchoillekendall: Open a terminal and do: sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs libdvdread3 libdvdnav400:42
kendallardchoille: , where do I enter that command, in adept?00:43
Kr4t05GrahamA: Cowon and Archos are as good as you get, really.00:43
ardchoille!medibuntu | kendall00:43
ubotukendall: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org00:43
Kr4t05Sansa's are okay, too, but they lack a good bit.00:43
ardchoillekendall: No, "open a terminal.."00:43
kendallah, thanks00:43
GrahamAkendall: Do what ardchoille said and it'll work.00:43
benpiccokendall: try sudo echo deb http://packages.medibuntu.org/ gutsy free non-free > /etc/apt/sources.list00:43
Radi01cowen is a good player?00:43
kendallok, but where do I type in the command?00:43
Radi01cowon00:43
kendallah00:43
kendallterminal00:43
kendallok, lemme give it a go00:44
ardchoillebenpicco: First of all, that will fail, sudo doesn't handle redirection like that, Secondly, he also needs the medibuntu repo key00:44
Kr4t05Radi01: Cowon is a company that makes media players. They're good players that boast "Linux support."00:44
Kr4t05Even if it's an afterthough.00:44
ardchoillemplayer is the best, IMHO00:44
Kr4t05afterthought*00:44
Radi01ah  which ones are good in kde besides Amarok00:44
Kr4t05ardchoille: We're talking hardware players, portable devices.00:45
ardchoilleKr4t05: Ah, ok00:45
Radi01Amarok chokes too much.00:45
GrahamAAmarok is hands down the best music player I've ever used.00:45
Kr4t05Radi01: Um? I'm talking about MP3 players.00:45
GrahamAWinamp barely holds a candle to it.00:45
Radi01ya00:45
Kr4t05Radi01: You could try JuK00:45
Radi01oh ok00:45
Kr4t05Or, maybe Exaile, but it's GTK.00:46
ardchoillekendall: Let me know if you need further help :)00:46
Radi01winamp stunk..aol took over.00:46
Kr4t05Songbird is still prerelease, but it's coming along.00:46
ardchoilleRadi01: lol00:46
Radi01snickers.00:46
ardchoilleWow, the mozilla team really had "bird" brains, lol00:46
ardchoilleFirebird, Thunderbird, Songbird I wonder what the calendar will be named.00:47
Lunar_Lamp_I'm following the instructions at: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php - it has information for kdm, but I use gdm at the moment.  How can I configure GDM to start the KDE4 session, so I don't need to replace GDM?00:47
Radi01afterbird00:47
Dragnslcrardchoille- Sunbird00:47
ardchoillehahaha00:47
ardchoilleDragnslcr: Ah, figures00:47
DragnslcrAt least that's the client, I think. Dunno if they'd name a server something else00:48
somekoolLunar_Lamp_: let me know if you get it to work.... I had missing packages here, I could not complete the install00:48
ardchoilleThey should release a suite with all the *bird apps and call it Nest00:48
ardchoilleGet it.. nest?00:48
DragnslcrHehe00:48
Radi01ya00:48
* ardchoille giggles00:48
Lunar_Lamp_somekool, well, the install seems to be working ok, but I'm using kdm I decided.00:49
Lunar_Lamp_Hmm, somekool, yes kdm-kde4 seems to have issues00:51
ardchoilleOf course it does, it's an rc.. yo should expect lots of issues00:52
Lunar_Lamp_Not with being missing, but with being configured.00:52
Lunar_Lamp_ardchoille, I was agreeing with somekool that a package has an issue. Don't get all defensive...00:52
Lunar_Lamp_I'm now about to attempt to track down what's causing the issue00:53
ardchoillehehe, defensive00:53
Radi01lunar it was an explanation..was not hostile at all..calm down buddy.00:53
Lunar_Lamp_Hmm, sorry, perhaps I just misinterpreted.00:54
Radi01we are all learning this stuff..that happens..00:55
somekoolI was not talking about software issues in KDE4, but packaging issues with the deb files, packages were missing or something ...00:55
ardchoilleMost of what I learned about kubuntu was leanred right here i this channel by watching others. This channel rocks!00:55
ardchoilleToo bad I never learned how to type, lol00:56
see-ghi ... without knowing too much about kubuntu 7.10's history, I've got a strange behavior here: After installing Kubuntu from the desktop-CD, the installation of GRUB to hd3 (changed from default: hd0) failed. When booting from the CD again, without changing any settings, I end up in a busybox...00:56
Radi01I would rather learn linux than support buddy bill....any day.00:56
Lunar_Lamp_somekool, yes, I don't have that issue, but there are problems (it appears) with the packaging of kdm-kde4 as the configure doesn't appear to work :-)00:56
ardchoilleRadi01: Indeed00:56
nosrednaekimLunar_Lamp_: you don't need that package.... and it seems to conflict with the normal kdm. and kubuntu depends on kdm.00:56
Radi01Think of all the money I wasted..wow.00:56
nosrednaekimand thats not good00:56
nosrednaekimBBIAB00:57
Lunar_Lamp_nosrednaekim, I don't have kde installed ;-)00:57
Lunar_Lamp_(er, that is, normal kde - I have gnome from default ubuntu - I'm not coming from a kubuntu install)00:57
somekoolI am currently building my first .deb file and I am having little troubles. well, actually, I've went through all the necessary steps as far as the howto I followed is concerned. but the process gets interrupted because of linking errors ??? but it compiles with a regular ./configure;make .... is there -l flags to add somewhere? why I am getting linking errors like that? I've put all the necessary dependencies in control00:58
ardchoillesomekool: Tis may be a dumb question, but do you have all the necessary deps installed on your system?00:58
somekoolardchoille: yes, cuz it compiles fine with a regular ./configure;make , like I said.00:59
ardchoilleA00:59
ardchoilleh00:59
somekooland I had put all the depends in the control file01:00
somekoolit says not to modify the rules file for a regular compile01:00

crackhead_25_can anyone help me get my lacie external hard drive mounting in kubuntu? it was automounting fine last week. now it doesn't recognize. i'm sure there's data on it, though.01:08
LjLkendall, i'm under the impression that you're considering downloading VLC from the site, but VLC is available from the repositories (universe, specifically), you can install it with just « sudo apt-get install vlc »01:08
ardchoillekendall: Yes, try out vlc, it's quite nice.01:09
kendallah, ok, I'll try that, thank you, LjL01:09

kendallthanks01:17
Radi01plays most everything out of the box.01:17
kendallgood01:17
Radi01Use that till you get to know the rest of player codec.01:18
kendallmy eventual plan is to have this box as a home entertainment media server/DVR01:18
kendallgot a lot of learning to do, though.....01:18
ardchoillekendall: That's what I did with one of my computers.01:18
Kasplattwhat is the difference between the CD .iso and the .DVD iso ?01:18
kendallnice01:18
kendall....and it'll be networked01:19
nosrednaekimKasplatt: the DVD has more packages on it.01:19
ardchoilleKasplatt: The dvd iso is a compilation of the desktop and alternate cd's01:19
kendalltransfer iso images over the network, play them from the HD01:19
Kasplattah okay , so the DVD is better ?01:19
nosrednaekimardchoille: I think it has more than that...01:19
ardchoillenosrednaekim: Not according to the ubuntu article I read01:19
Kasplattor just filled with crap ?01:19
ardchoilleBut, the article could have been wrong.01:20
nosrednaekimKasplatt: prettymuch :D01:20
Radi01lo,  its not a windows cd01:20
Kasplattnosrednaekim better :P ?01:20
nosrednaekimKasplatt: i'd get the cd and insta;; what you need from there01:20
=== NetersLandreau_ is now known as NetersLandreau
Kasplattah okay hehe ;)01:20
ardchoilleKasplatt: Anything on the dvd will also be in ther repos anyway01:20
Kasplattokay :)01:20
nosrednaekimardchoille: it was my understanding that the DVD had a lot of extra packages... but I may be wrong.01:21
Kasplattyou don't have a mirror for Faroe Islands for kubuntu ?? I remember xubuntu had ..01:21
ardchoillenosrednaekim: no biggie, it's all in the repos :)01:21
nosrednaekimKasplatt: if xubuntu did, yes, Kubuntu does.01:21
KasplattI can't find it ...01:21
nosrednaekimKasplatt: hrm.... I think I read an article about you guys in the faroe islands on Linux.com01:22
ardchoillenosrednaekim: What they should release, IMHO, is a very small net install cd.. something like 100Mb just to get the system running and install the rest from the repos. But I guess that would increase the load on the repo servers.01:22
nosrednaekimardchoille: yeah, they don't want to do that.,,,, esp around a release date XD01:22
Radi01yua01:22
Kasplattnosrednaekim what did it say ?01:22
ardchoillenosrednaekim: Ah, right01:22
NickPrestaAny idea about the "no buffer space available" message when trying to resume a disk image after an expected power failure?01:23

Kasplattour whole system ??01:23
ardchoillescrubb2000: cat /etc/groups | grep <username_here>01:23
ardchoilleOops, that's /etc/group01:24
nosrednaekimKasplatt: maybe it wasn't the Faroe Islands... never mind :D01:24

Kasplattnosrednaekim hehe okay01:25
ardchoillescrubb2000: cat /etc/group | grep <username_here>01:25
Kasplattnosrednaekim is there any difference in any of the distros for each mirror ?01:26
Radi01I often wondered that.01:26

trillisWell, my wireless internet dies on me randomely, and the only way for some reason to get it to work again is rebooting.01:31

scrubb2000So I have a broken installation of XP on one of my partitions, and linux feels it has to check the disk every time it starts up, which takes forever because it uses dosfsck.  Can I get linux to stop checking this partition at startup somehow?01:33
Radi01do it..(now).01:33

kendallso, in general, is there ever a time when I want to choose not to auto-update stuff?  I know that in WinXP, I chose not to install some stuff, unless I knew for certain it was needed for security or functionality.  Is there cases in kubuntu where I want to selectively not install updates?01:35
=== mneptok_ is now known as mneptok
nosrednaekimkendall: try not to do kernel updates..01:35
amandaThanks again, nosrednaekim. Peace01:35

nosrednaekimunless something isn't working01:35
kendallok, well I'm not sure if I'm currently updating my kernel or not.01:35
kendallwe'll see.01:36
Radi01ya good info...no wonder i had to re-install ubuntu 5 times.01:36
nwonknuAre there instructions for configuring D-Link DWL-G132 (usb wireless network adapter using atheros chipset) ?01:36
Radi01lol01:36
ardchoillekendall: Usually the kernel won't update unless you do a dist-upgrade01:36
kendallI just let the auto-updater go do it's thing.01:36
kendallaha01:36
kendallmore good info.01:36
kendallthanks01:36
kendallso, is there a compelling reason to upgrade to 7.10?01:36
nosrednaekimnwonknu: you'll need to use ndiswrapper01:37
Radi01yes..better.01:37
kendallor will 7.04 work for me?01:37
* trillis is using dapper01:37
nosrednaekimkendall: 7.04 should be fine01:37
kendallok01:37
trillisuhm..01:37
trillisInstalling that plugin didn't help me.01:37
Radi01?01:37
vbgunzanyone know of a replacement player for quicktime movies in Konqueror? is there anything better than mplayer or xine or something more compatible? watching trailers on apple blow chunks :(01:37
nwonknunosrednaekim: yes, ndiswrapper, but are there detailed instructions?  How good in kubuntu's wireless support out of the box?01:37
ardchoillekendall: Some advice. Thought a gui is good and easy, there are advantages to learning the command line, one of which is that the cli is the only thing you'll have left if xorg, kdm, or your desktop env breaks. The command line is fast and powerful, not to mentio easily scriptable.01:37
kendallso, why the codenames?  Is 7.04 not descriptive enough?01:38
trillisMozilla still wants me to "Click here to download plugin" When trying to watch streaming vids.01:38
level1Hi, kmail is refusing to retrieve some messages from my gmail account.  Usually it works, but sometimes it refuses to download the mail for a few days; it just acts as if there are no new messages.  I can see from gmail's web interface that the mails are there; but kmail won't download them01:38
nosrednaekimnwonknu: not that good, but with ndiswrapper,it may work.01:38
Radi01your useing dapper so i couldnt tell ya trillis..01:38
nosrednaekimlevel1: POP or IMAP?01:38
trillis:(01:38
kendallthanks, ardchoille, I imagine I'll need to, yes.  But for now, I'm not anywhere ready for that.01:38
nwonknunosrednaekim: I got it working on opensuse, but it was a major pain.  Looking for an easier distro.01:38
Radi01click and see what it wants trillis01:38
ardchoilletrillis: There was a recent article about a virus/worm going around that asked you to download a file in order to watch a video, I wouldn't trust it.01:38
somekooli dont get it ... kdelibs4-dev  is for KDE 3 and kdelibs5-dev is for KDE 4 ????01:39
trillisMozilla can't find it anyway.01:39
nosrednaekimnwonknu: well, if you use ndiswrapper, it shouldn't be too hard01:39
level1nosrednaekim: POP3... I'm reluctant to convert to IMAP because I'm not sure if it will cause problems, and I will not have enough space to back up my emails for about a week01:39

nosrednaekimdairien: yes....02:04
kubuntunewbienosrednaekim: so i would use the ip that is assigned to the computer from the router?02:04
nosrednaekimthe ESSID part is easy...I forget how to do the key part02:04

nosrednaekimthe ESSID is "sudo iwconfig eth1 ESSID <your essid>"02:05

level1silent failure is so annoying... kmail is refusing to get messages from my gmail account, it just says "transmission from gmail complete, no new messages"02:20
level1There seems to be a process called kio_pop3 that gets left behind, but killing it doesn't change anything02:21
draikHello all02:21
nosrednaekimlevel1: thats very odd....it may be a probalem with your gmail pop settings02:21
Radi01hey driak02:21
nosrednaekimhey draik02:21
level1nosrednaekim: hmmm... gmail doesn't give you very many options; mostly its just, what does gmail do with the messages after they are retrieved?02:22
draikWhat software can I use to edit an AVI? I want to cut away parts from the beginning and end so that I am left with a short clip of the original AVI.02:22

posingaspopularanyone know how to turn off the dictionary feature in konversation. it keeps trying to correct my spelling but only because it doesn't recognize 'konversation' as a valid word02:27
posingaspopularhighlights in red, gutsy gibbon btw02:27
trillisuhg02:28
ardchoilleposingaspopular: You should be able to add any word to your dictionary02:28

Kasplattlol02:29
Radi01I have an 8 meg turbo 3d 4 sale.02:29
MinatakuScaling is a 2D acceleration feature, however, with a YouTube video, it's likely done entirely in the flash player02:29
KasplattI've seen that a lot of linux users got low-end comps02:29
trillisDo you think it could be, because Kubuntu hates ATI?02:30
ardchoilletrillis: watch-movies.net ? I foresee a visit from the MPAA in your future :P02:30
MinatakuI'd recommend downloading the video and running it manually with something like XVideo02:30
trillisMPAA?02:30
draikardchoille: kinda reminds me of tv-links.co.uk02:30
Radi01lol ardchoille02:30
MinatakuWhich even on lame cards will usually have hardware accelerated scaling02:30
ardchoilledraik: Yeah02:30
Radi01iraa02:30
draiktv-links.co.uk was a great site.02:30
Radi01ya tv links got raided02:30
draik:(02:30
trillisI'm not doing anything illegal by watching them.02:31
Radi01punks02:31
trillisThe site is by hosting them.02:31
ardchoilletrillis: Yes, the MPAA sues people who download movies like that.02:31
Dr_Willistrillis tat site works for me. Its just using the Flash player.02:31
Kasplattohh MPAA sounds like a bunch of idiotss .02:31
Radi01they are.02:31

MinatakuHeya, Dr_Willis02:35
Minataku:D02:35
draikThen again, it was stupid people that believed in her and that the people on the other line were actually using tarot cards and not the cards in solitaire from the game they were playing during calls.02:35
MinatakuAny news on the other Amiga yet? Or is it still at the mercy of your wife's crap?02:35
Minatakulol02:35
Dr_WillisMinataku its in the garrage.. I may have a decent box for it now. :) got  a large collection of Xmas packing box's here.02:36

Kasplatt!ps302:46
ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about ps3 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi02:46
Kasplattkubuntu runs on ps3 .. right ? like a PPC edition ?02:46
Dr_WillisKasplatt thats what i hear. :)02:46
Kasplattor is KDE too heavy for it ?02:46
Kasplattah okay , nice !02:46
MinatakuUgh02:46
Dr_WillisGiven the Processing power of the PS3.. Id be amazed that any desktop would be too heavy for it.02:46
MinatakuActually02:47
MinatakuThe PS3's processor is a mess02:47
MinatakuIt's a horrible design for general purpose tasks02:47
Dr_WillisBut it wasent designed for general purpose tasks. :) it was designed for porn.. err.. i mean games..02:47
Dr_Willis:)02:47
MinatakuIt's really only good for heavy calculation, like massive scientific stuff02:47
MinatakuWrong, actually02:47
coreymon77Dr_Willis: lol02:47
Dr_WillisBah! You and your downer attitude...02:47
MinatakuIt's a partial PPC core with eight mass-vector units02:48
Dr_WillisYou are mad because it wont run CP/M !02:48
coreymon77ps3 is a waste of money02:48
MinatakuIt's completely inappropriate for everything but heavy scientific calculations and massive data processing02:48
MinatakuLast time I checked, nobody was waiting in line to buy "Amino Acid Binding: The Interactive Adventure"02:49
MinatakuOr for that matter, a PS302:49
Dr_WillisSo it can handle Compiz fine then. :)02:49
MinatakuThis generation's total failure02:49
Dr_WillisMinataku that would be 'spore' :)02:49
MinatakuActually, the chip itself is a bottleneck for everything02:49
coreymon77and this generations great success = the wii!02:49
MinatakuAnd there's a separate graphics chip02:49
Dr_WillisI like my Wii :)02:49
MinatakuSo the CPU is basically used for absolutely nothing02:49
coreymon77me too02:49
hdevalencewhat does ksoftirqd do?02:49
coreymon77the only worth while console of this generation02:50
Kasplattcoreymon77 ps3 is nice too02:50
MinatakuNo, it's not02:51
coreymon77Kasplatt: didnt you just hear us go on about how its a complete waste of money and this generations biggest flop or a failure02:51
Dr_Willisultimate game station ---->  http://www.xgamestation.com/02:51

Dr_Willis:)02:51
Kasplattyes it is ... for games its awesome !02:51
MinatakuNo, it's not.02:51
hdevalenceand besides, with the wii you can fold the protiens *yourself*!!!!02:51
Kasplattfor linux it's pretty sucky .02:51
MinatakuIt's a shame you can't see past your fanboyism.02:51
KasplattMinataku yes it is .02:51
KasplattI'm not a fanboy02:51
MinatakuI weep for the money you wasted.02:51
coreymon77Kasplatt: it really isnt02:51
KasplattI like the games for it02:52
coreymon77Kasplatt: im a little ticked about ratchet being only on it02:52
coreymon77Kasplatt: but other than that02:52
Kasplattcoreymon77 for some purposes it isn't .02:52
coreymon77Kasplatt: its a complete waste02:52
Kasplattya the games are great , but it has some processing power that's useful in some situations .02:52
coreymon77Kasplatt: games are crap02:52
Dr_WillisSomeone want to check    http://stage6.com/user/zeshika_kuku_ru/video/1216296/haruhi-candy-pop   see if the download-the-video link works? for some reason firefox is trying to load the download as a text file...02:53
Radi01hackers  love ps3 processors02:53
Kasplattcoreymon77 no they aren't .02:53
coreymon77mario galaxy FTW02:53

Dr_Williscoreymon77 im waiting for harvest moon. :)   The wife wa playing Bowling all day yesterday., and only knocked over the tv once.02:53

Radi01lol only once?02:54
KasplattRatchet and Clank..02:54
coreymon77Kasplatt: both of those are crap02:54
Kasplattcoreymon77 and why is that ?02:54
coreymon77Kasplatt: dont even know what that planet game is02:55
draikIs there an app for playing ISOs? Is there a way to mount it and put it on as an image drive?02:55
coreymon77Kasplatt: and what are these lots of others02:55
Dr_WillisI dont care much for the 3d platformers.02:55
Dr_Willis!iso | draik02:55
ubotudraik: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.02:55
draikKasplatt: Ratchet and Clank games are really good. I love their weapons02:55
Dr_Willisdraik you mount it and  access its contents is one way02:55
coreymon77Kasplatt: that is the only thing im ticked about02:55
draikThank you Dr_Willis02:55
coreymon77Kasplatt: but cot3, its just another fps02:55
coreymon77Kasplatt: little big planet, wtf is that02:55
coreymon77Kasplatt: and what are these lots of others?02:56
Dr_Willisissue i have with most of the 3d platformers - is that the darn camera always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.. :)02:56
bazhang_there should be a ubuntu/kubuntu games channel02:56
Kasplattcoreymon77, I happen to like Battlefield Bad Company, Resistance: FoM, Lair, GRAW2, Def Jam Icons. and others.02:56
Dr_WillisI just perfer the Twisted Metal Car carnage fests...02:56
coreymon77Kasplatt: once again, never heard of any of them02:56
Kasplattand Kane & Lynch02:56
coreymon77Kasplatt: who and what?02:56
Kasplattcoreymon77 okay, so you say all the ps3 games suck and you don't know any of the games . you seem smart.02:57
coreymon77has anyone heard of any of these games02:57
ardchoille!ot02:57
ubotu#kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!02:57
MinatakuHere comes the fun police02:57
coreymon77Kasplatt: trust me, if they were any good, i would know about it02:57
MinatakuDespite that nobody needs help right now02:57
coreymon77Kasplatt: the fact that i dont means they are crao02:57
Dr_Willisive never played a ps3.. and i only got 2 games for the wii. :)02:58
coreymon77ardchoille: hes right, if someone was looking for help, different story02:58
coreymon77ardchoille: but for now, whats the big deal02:58
MinatakuMy main console is an XBos360, and I also have my beloved Dreamcast02:58
Minataku*XBox36002:58
bazhang_help! linux broke my internets!02:58
MinatakuNo it didn't.02:58
Kasplattthere02:58
MinatakuYou have been helped.02:58
Minatakulol02:58
Kasplattlol02:59
MinatakuNow, back to the fun02:59
bazhang_haha all fixed02:59
Dr_WillisMinataku local used place has a oodle of Dreamcasts. :)02:59
MinatakuXD02:59
MinatakuDr_Willis: Get one02:59
Radi01Help: bill gates just got blue screened using linux.02:59
MinatakuYou'll love it02:59
kendalltime to get samba02:59
Dr_WillisMinataku i got one  with a few games  allready.  I wanted to get the amiga emulator going on it.. but never did  :)02:59
coreymon77Kasplatt: also, the controller was the biggest failure ever, it doesnt even have a freaking rumble02:59
MinatakuHeh02:59
* Dr_Willis turns off rumble.02:59
MinatakuI've used an SNES emulator on my Dreamcast02:59
coreymon77Kasplatt: sony tried to imitate the wiimote and failed miserably02:59
draikDr_Willis: sudo umount /mnt                right? I mounted it to /mnt/02:59
Kasplattcoreymon77, if you buy the dualshock 3 you get rumble ...02:59
coreymon77Kasplatt: if you buy a seperate controller, very nice03:00
Radi01kendall: how goes it buddy.03:00
Kasplattcoreymon77, they did not , they got 3d accelerometers , which only are for motion sensing, that skiing game uses it nicely.03:00
Dr_Willisdraik you could mount it anywhere you wanted.  make the dir first.. ie mkdir /media/ISOFILE    then mount to /media/ISOFILE03:00
draikDr_Willis: I chose /mnt/03:00
MinatakuUh, the Wiimote has 3D accelerometers as well03:00
MinatakuThey also have them in the nunchuck03:01
draikDr_Willis: To unmount it, I do       sudo umount /mnt/             right?03:01
Dr_Willisdraik bingo.03:01
MinatakuVarious different tools can be used with the Wiimote, including a gun and a steering wheel03:01
KasplattMinataku and an IR camera that find out which way it's turning by looking at an IR led bar.03:01
kendallI'm learning, Radi0103:01
coreymon77yup03:01
MinatakuAll by just sticking the Wiimote into a plastic frame03:01
coreymon77and virtual console=unlimited supply of games03:01
Radi01cool03:01
Dr_Willisthe Question is... can I use the Wii Remote on my Linxu box!03:01
coreymon77prob03:02
MinatakuKasplatt: So it's bad because it does more than the PS3 controller?03:02
MinatakuInteresting.03:02
coreymon77bluetooth mod03:02
Dr_WillisNot seen  any info on doing that. yet. :)03:02
MinatakuI think you should take your fanboyism and toss it out the window.03:02
KasplattMinataku, I never said it was bad03:02
draikI just had a "UGH! Why won't you... oh wait, my fault" moment.03:02
MinatakuAs for the Wiimote, I believe it CAN be used for other things03:02
draikI was in /mnt/ in Yakuake and wondered why I coudn't umount03:02
coreymon77external hd :P03:02
KasplattI just said it that the ps3 controller isn't03:03
MinatakuNintendo would certainly be smart to release the specs and info on it03:03
Dr_Willishttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_ytdW6Ys2A  - wii remote on a pc.03:03
MinatakuIt would boost their sales even higher03:03
MinatakuNot that they particularly need that right now03:03
Minatakulol03:03
coreymon77Kasplatt: lets see the ps3 controller do that03:03
KasplattDr_Willis yay , I can connect my PS3 controller to the PC just fine.03:03
MinatakuSeeing as how the Wii can barely stay on the shelves03:03
coreymon77Kasplatt: and hmm lets see, what is the most popular and most wanted gift this year03:03
MinatakuWhereas they can't get rid of the PS3s03:03
coreymon77Kasplatt: the ps3?03:04
KasplattMinataku it's cheap as hell03:04
coreymon77Kasplatt: no, the wii!03:04
MinatakuThey're like cardboard boxes full of crap03:04
MinatakuUh, no, it's not03:04
KasplattSTOP BEING FANBOYS !03:04
Radi01ya03:04
coreymon77Kasplatt: ya, and the ps3 is way to freaking expensive03:04
MinatakuThe cheap version is $50 more than the midrange 36003:04
MinatakuIt lacks backwards compatibility03:04
Kasplattdamnit , I'm defending the ps3, not bashing ur beloved fkn wii03:04
coreymon77Kasplatt: umm, look whose talking03:04
MinatakuThe expensive version is $50 MORE than the high-end 36003:04
coreymon77and the wii is cheaper than them all03:05
MinatakuKasplatt: And we're making valid points on why the PS3 is a complete and utter failure03:05
KasplattI just ssaid that the wii is cheap as hell03:05
MinatakuThe fact that it was designed first to push their latest failure format Blu-Ray03:05
MinatakuWhich we all here HATE for obvious reasons03:05
KasplattMinataku , saying that all the games suck does not make it a bad console , since your just bashing it without any background for doing that .03:05
MinatakuI haven't said that03:06
coreymon77umm03:06
KasplattMinataku blu-ray is great too03:06
MinatakuTypical fanboy, not even listening03:06
coreymon77what else is a console used for03:06
MinatakuOkay, now I _know_ you're an idiot03:06
coreymon77if the games are crap, what else good is the console03:06
MinatakuKasplatt: I'd definitely recommend you give up03:06
Kasplattcoreymon77 that's my point , they aren't !03:06
coreymon77Kasplatt: yes they are03:06
Kasplattyeah I'm outnumbered, wii fanboys all round me03:06
MinatakuI wasn't even aware there WERE games for the PS303:07
rafalhow to set LCD refresh rate?03:07
rafalusing KDEW03:07
rafalKDE03:07
MinatakuThere's, what, 5 total?03:07
MinatakuAnd they're all lame03:07
coreymon77we're not even fanboys03:07

naliothDr_Willis: we suggest 'checkinstall' instead of 'make install'03:10
hdevalenceDr_Willis: I think there's a kernel driver for it03:10

Hizzleah ok03:11
Hizzlethank you03:11
hdevalenceDr_Willis: but you'd need to write your own software03:11
Dr_Willishdevalence aparently it is using a rather common chipset. :) its all the littel details that seem to be causing problems.03:11

MinatakuSay, nalioth, since you're here, do you know how to set the refresh on an LCD through KDE?03:13
MinatakuIt MIGHT be in the XOrg config, but I'm not sure at all03:13
naliothMinataku: there is no such thing.03:13

MinatakuThey update the screen serially, one pixel at a time, ala CRTs03:14
MinatakuI know this as a fact because my graphics card sucks and I get tearing sometimes03:14
nosrednaekimMinataku: system settings->monitor and display03:17
Minatakurafal needs it, not me03:17
MinatakuI was just asking if anyone else knew because I didn't03:17
Minatakunalioth: LCDs are not, however, susceptible to flicker03:17
pteague_workany idea why i'd be getting an error trying to update to gutsy?03:17
flaccidif lcds didn't refresh, i guess it would only be good for still photos :)03:18
MinatakuSince that's an artifact of the phosphor dimming without repeated restimulation03:18
NickPrestapteague_work, which error are you getting?03:18
MinatakuPerhaps that's what you were thinking?03:18
naliothMinataku: i don't think the video configurators know anything about LCDs and refresh, because LCD refresh is not anything like CRT refresh03:18
MinatakuIt's a similar phenomenon03:19
=== impulsive is now known as rocky
MinatakuThe similarity is that the screen has to be redrawn from top to bottom so many times per second03:19
pteague_worknm... think i found an issue with some of the extra items in my sources list03:20
MinatakuThe difference is the reason this has to be done (Outside the reason, of course, that both need to update what's on the screen)03:20
=== rocky is now known as hades

jhutchins!kdesu | kendall03:37
ubotukendall: In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)03:37

ardchoillemot_: What do you need to know?04:26
mot_well...04:26
mot_how it's different from opening a new console04:26
ardchoillemot_: If you do ctrl+alt+f1, you are just in one console, but if you use screen in that console, you can have lots of windows04:27
mot_ah04:27
ardchoillemot_: I run mutt (email), irssi (irc chat), elinks (web browser), bash (shell), mc (file manager) all in one screen on tty104:27

Dr_Willismike01 there used to be a bug with the ati cards/drivers/ You had to enable the 'always restart X server' feature in KDM to kick it in the head when you logged out.05:53
mike01its an nvidia card 8800gt, but how do i enable that?05:53
mike01hmmm maybe if i just switch the drivers and restart x it will work05:55
xyphorAhmuck: there's currently a feature request in for tilt mouse support in OO - http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=5120205:55
xyphorAhmuck: I know you're just looking for a keyboard modifier, but that feature would need to be implemented first05:56
xyphorAhmuck: and the mouse interface in KDE would need to have modifier support too05:56
xyphorAhmuck: basically, I wouldn't hold my breath ;-)05:57
LynoureDr_Willis: by ati drivers you mean fglrx and not the driver named ati (which is the open source one)?05:59
Dr_Willisactually i had issues with both. :)06:01
Dr_Willisthe 'ati'  driver - would lock up one way.. and 'fglrx' would lockup a different way.06:01

Dr_Willisthe issue was mainly in the last release for me.. dosent see m to be a issue for me under Gutsy any more06:04
LynoureWell, there has been issues with nvidia drivers too, closed and open ones. So mileages vary.06:04
unix_infidelDr_Willis: got an 8800gt?06:04
Dr_WillisYep. I think a lot of the issues is also due to the chipsets on the MB.06:05
Dr_WillisI got an 8800gtsXXX  :) from xforce (i think)(06:05
unix_infidelloll, spending budget get a little higher?06:05
Dr_Willisof course NOW the newer 8800's are out with more ram/faster clock.. and lower cost.06:05
Dr_Willisnvidia seems to sort of be hitting their heads on a wall.. no real improvements in the 8800's it seems in a long time.. just little 'minor boosts' and so forth.06:06
Dr_WillisIt would be nice if they can get the cost a lot lower and the power needed a lot less.06:06
* unix_infidel needs to build a new box.06:07
Dr_WillisI found one on sale cheaper then i could build - during the back to school sales.. its an ok box.  it will last me till next xmas.06:08

unix_infideli still think prices will be available near december.06:11

Dr_Willisthat removed the ribbon cable and helped the airflow06:11
unix_infidelahh, you bought the gateway box and suped it up?06:11
Dr_Willisjust a little. :) a $300 video card. and some fans. heh06:12
Dr_Willisin a year - the video card will be the most valueable part.06:12

=== Ryiel_ is now known as Ryiel
AhmuckDr_Willis: it doesn't have to be side scrolling in the button,  an up/down scroll on the mouse with a keyboard modifier would work as well06:21

Dr_WillisAhmuck heh.. imup to my neck in keyboard modifiers with compiz and all its 1000000+ features. :P06:22
Dr_WillisAhmuck of course with my 2  wide screen monitors  - i rarely need to scroll sideways. :)06:24

llutzHouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu10:01
habdelHouse: Themes in kde have to be either compiled or installed using apt10:01
habdelHouse: but icons, or fonts can be easily changed10:01
Housewhy isnt just double click10:02
Houseor a program called Theme-installer why not make such thing for KDE10:02
llutzHouse: feel free to code such app10:02
habdelHouse: different theories :p .. however, you can find kubuntu packages very easily on the internet10:02
Housei thought Kubuntu shouldbe easier then Ubuntu , btw with ubuntu installing themse is very easy drag and release and its done10:02
Housewhat do you mean by compile?10:03
llutzkubuntu uses KDE instead of Gnome, why should it be easier? it's just different10:03
Houseshould i extract the folder to somewere like .theme folder in home ? or osmething10:03
Housethen it will locate it > so things are done manually o_0 ?10:03

posingaspopularummm10:23
posingaspopularGerrySly: wow10:23
habdeltommy`: what exactly are trying to add ?10:23
posingaspopularhead desk right? i've never seen that, but try device manager and see if you can fix it in there10:23
tommy`habdel: nothing particular, but after I restar my session, the Kmix icon disappear10:24
posingaspopularkmenu->system-> Kubuntu device manager10:24
habdeltommy`: if you try to run again, does it run ?10:24
GerrySlycheers10:24
habdeltommy`: I mean if your run kmix does it appear in your system tray ?10:25
GerrySlyhmm I don't have a device manager, just Device Database10:25
tommy`habdel: yes, if I run, it appears,, but If I reboot it doesnt' on my tray10:26
posingaspopularah device database is the one you want10:27
GerrySlyyeah I went into that and it just went through, the test sound didn't play and it then sent some data to a server and shutdown10:28
habdeltommy`: ok then you need to add to the autostart applications either by creating ~/.kde/Autostart/kmix.desktop or my by saving your current session10:28
Houseim using emerald theme its easy to dothat habdel10:28
Housebut the X maximize and minimize appear very very small10:28
habdelHouse: it depends on the theme you are using, some you can configure10:29
posingaspopularhmm that's not it GerrySly10:29
tommy`habdel: how can I saving my session?10:29
posingaspopularsystem settings->sound system10:29
posingaspopulartab over to hardware10:29
GerrySlythe audio device is Auto Detect10:30
posingaspopularthere should be a dropbox10:31
posingaspopularsee if that you can change and detect10:31
habdeltommy`: go to system settings => Advanced => session Manager10:31
GerrySlywhich audio device, none of them sound right10:31
posingaspopularor you might have to override the device location10:31
GerrySlydo I set it to the asounds.conf file I created?10:31
posingaspopularhmm i duno10:32
habdeltommy`: from the list of On login select your desired behavior10:32
posingaspopularwe're getting about my skill set here10:32
posingaspopularGerrySly: you can try popping into the ubuntustudio chan and asking in there10:32
GerrySlyheh ok thanks anyway10:32
GerrySlyok10:32
posingaspopularthey are prob. a million times better at this stuff than i am10:32
GerrySlythey'll help even through I'm using kubuntu?10:33
posingaspopularyea of course10:33
posingaspopularif it's an audio device, it's most likely a kernel issue anyway10:34
tommy`habdel: I haven't that10:34
habdeltommy`: ok then let's try the other approach, copy "/usr/share/applications/kde/kmix.desktop" to your ~/.kde/Autostart/ folder10:37
GerrySlywhat was that command you told me to use posingaspopular?10:37
GerrySlyto check the sound card ?10:37

Housefile edit view is small also10:41
Housethe address bar is small the font also10:42
Housebtw the panel change the background isnt enough , i want to change the whole look of it and the kicker aswell10:42
habdelHouse: Those are gnome-settings related, have you run any gnome application10:42
tommy`habdel: ok works10:43
habdelHouse: if you mean the menu, then you need to install kbfx using synaptics10:43
habdeltommy`:  glad to hear that ! enjoy10:43
tommy`habdel: I've another question, why after reboot many application open on my KDE?10:44
habdeltommy`:  It seems that you have a saved session which reloads every time you log in10:45
tommy`habdel: can I delete it?10:45
habdeltommy`: first, is the set of application the same  or does it change depending on what you had on the previous session10:46
habdelapplication*10:46
tommy`habdel: I don't understand sorry10:47

habdeltommy`: I see, so kde stores you previous session on the next log in10:49
tommy`yeah10:50
tommy`maybe10:50

tommy`habdel: I've check "start a new session" on Kcontrol (I mean, because my KDE language is not english)10:53
jussio1!sound10:54
ubotuIf you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP310:54
habdeltommy`:  it should mean something close to "start empty session "10:54
posingaspopularamarok can't take organize my songs, but it can transfer them to ipod... great10:54
tommy`habdel: yes, I've checked that10:55
habdeltommy`:  try it out ! log in and log out10:55

habdeltommy`: check if kmix.desktop is still under ~/.kde/Autostart/10:58
tommy`habdel: my god, neither yakuake works now :(10:59
