| rignes | Actually, it seems to be finally sinking in at Micro$oft that the cli isn't so terrible. I mean, their implementation is still crappy, but at least it's there. | 00:00 |

| lounge | Exchange 2007 is CLI to even just change a mailbox limit :s | 00:01 |
|---|
| rignes | Don't get me started on that. I wasted ages trying to figure out limits on Exchange 2007. | 00:01 |
|---|
| rignes | The trouble is there are a zillion places to change the limits, and if you miss just one it defaults to the lowest. | 00:02 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | that makes it more secure. :) | 00:02 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | who needs a variable set in just 1 place! | 00:02 |
|---|
| rignes | :P | 00:03 |
|---|
| lounge | yep, took me ages too to figure it, damm Micros~1 | 00:03 |
|---|
| rignes | I applaud them for seeing the light that is the cli, but there are certain things that should be in a gui front end on a mail server. And I'd think changing message size limits would be one of them. I mean, it seems like a fairly common tweak.. | 00:04 |

| Zabulus | yeah | 00:24 |
|---|
| michael_ | I have a question about my flash drive: | 00:24 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | i would say to to the console and look at dmesg output - see if any messages are showingup about the mouse. You can upgrade/edit the soruces totally from the console if need be | 00:24 |
|---|
| michael_ | it used to come up when I plugged it in, and now I cant access it | 00:25 |

| michael_ | it lights up, but no ones home | 00:25 |

| adamonline45 | Dr_willis: Dang, now it won't even do what it WAS doing (showing the bouncy icon and a spot in the taskbar). I ran top and killed 2 amarok processes just before trying to run it from a terminal... | 00:25 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | michael_: sound corrupted, have you tried it on another machine ? | 00:26 |
|---|

| NickPresta | adamonline45, I sometimes notice that behavior (amarok won't start) but only after X crashes and there is a zombie-like process left over. I have to `killall amarok*` and then it works just fine. | 00:27 |
|---|
| michael_ | yes, in fact it was being 'borrowed, by another machine | 00:27 |
|---|
| michael_ | working fine in that machine (using Windows)..... I bring it to mine and nothing | 00:28 |

| Linux_Galore | amarokrc sorry | 00:30 |
|---|
| adamonline45 | Linux_Galore: I just initiated a reboot, but if it's still happening (as it was with the LAST reboot) then I'll try that :) | 00:30 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | or just reinstall amarok ie remove it then install it again | 00:30 |
|---|
| adamonline45 | Linux_Galore: That's doable. I've seen a few means of removing with aptitude; which syntax would you recommend I use? | 00:31 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | removing amarok will NOT clear out the users settings.. if those are the casuse of the problem | 00:31 |

|---|
| michael_ | can anyone help me with a sound issue? | 00:32 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | Dr_willis: thats why I suggested renaming the amarokrc file first | 00:32 |

| mcrandello | although some things to look out for are how many devices are sharing irq, in my case it was a wifi card, modem, video card and the usb bus, the usb was usually the thing that shut down first | 00:41 |

| northpunk | when it starts up it showes the dubuntu blue desktop.. but then the dnome brown comes back (the gnome wallpapersr are in the list nothing else).. the top menu shows the ubuntu brown logo.. not the blue gears of kubuntu | 01:04 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | Linux_Galore, ok thanks | 01:04 |
|---|
| northpunk | and in the system where it has about ubuntu.. it has teh brown logo.. and has about gnome still | 01:04 |

| martijn81 | if i buy a macbook laptop with intel conroe cpu... what type of cd do i need then? powerpc or i386 | 01:04 |
|---|
| MaTiAz | i386 | 01:05 |
|---|
| northpunk | starts up as kubuntu fine.. but when it loads goes back to gnome (but i used apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop gdm) | 01:05 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | when whast starts up? The PC? or when X starts up? you may be refering to the boot up splash screen? | 01:05 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Hmmm | 01:05 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | You dident need to remove ubuntu-desktop or gdm. | 01:05 |
|---|
| northpunk | i didn't like it anymore anyways | 01:05 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm and be sure that kdm is selected.. | 01:05 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: make sure your in admin mode so click the button on the bottom right when you go into the services section | 01:05 |
|---|
| northpunk | povray only has an interface for kde not gnome anyways.. and that is what started my decision to change it | 01:05 |
|---|
| michael_ | ok, back and alsamixer is up | 01:06 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | You can easially run kde apps under gnome. : ) and gnome apps under kde.. heh.. | 01:06 |
|---|
| northpunk | when i do sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm it just goes back to my root line and doesn't display anything | 01:06 |
|---|
| michael_ | what do I need muted and what needs to be on other than the suround speakers of course | 01:07 |
|---|
| ardchoille | northpunk: Think about that for a second | 01:07 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: bugger they have changed it, right click on cupsd then if it isnt market with "yes" to the right and start then do the same again and start at boot | 01:07 |
|---|
| ardchoille | northpunk: If you're logged in as root, why would you use sudo? | 01:07 |

| ardchoille | Minataku: Got it :) | 01:09 |

| Linux_Galore | Minataku: Ive got one, for the life of me I cant think what people say they are easier I find them terribly confusing | 01:09 |
|---|
| Minataku | Sure, if you think completely proprietary hardware is "nice". | 01:10 |

|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: no "services" | 01:10 |

| michael_ | still have static | 01:10 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: in the advanced tab | 01:10 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | michael_: run alsamixer in a terminal | 01:11 |
|---|
| Minataku | Linux_Galore: OSX is based heavily off of NeXTSTEP, which was a horrible system if you ever had the misfortune of experiencing it | 01:11 |
|---|
| michael_ | got it up | 01:11 |
|---|
| michael_ | (they (we) are working you tonight, eh? | 01:11 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | michael_: check mute and levels in each, you should see a whole pile of controls | 01:11 |
|---|
| michael_ | I do | 01:11 |
|---|
| michael_ | mic is at 0 | 01:12 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | michael_: if you see all the controls that means the driver is working | 01:12 |
|---|
| michael_ | everything else looks good | 01:12 |
|---|
| michael_ | but I still get static | 01:12 |
|---|
| michael_ | I just switched from Suse and it worked great with that | 01:13 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | michael_: find a wav file and type aplay file.wav | 01:13 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | i wish windows had this irc thingie..this make linuz so much easier than windows by like a conjillion times | 01:13 |
|---|
| Minataku | There are two controls that carry importance, at least on my card | 01:13 |
|---|
| Minataku | "Main" and "PCM" | 01:13 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: windows does have irc just no real community to talk of | 01:13 |
|---|
| Minataku | Set one to 100%, and adjust the other one as desired | 01:14 |
|---|
| martijn81 | macbook pro or thinkpad T60? | 01:14 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | o0o...lol...i wihs i had known about it then and that they had a community | 01:14 |
|---|
| RogueJediX | I'm pretty sure I've seen a windows channel here on freenode | 01:14 |
|---|
| Minataku | I set "Main" to 100% and adjust "PCM" | 01:14 |
|---|
| Minataku | martijn81: Thinkpad T60 | 01:14 |
|---|
| Minataku | But I personally and very highly recommend Toshiba laptops | 01:14 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | RogueJediX: yeah, there are a few FOSS projects on windows but the community os very small | 01:15 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | is* | 01:15 |
|---|
| michael_ | I played a MP3 and get all static | 01:15 |
|---|
| RogueJediX | Linux_Galore: Ah, I see | 01:15 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | Linux_Galore, cupsys = yes = running | 01:15 |
|---|
| Minataku | I've got two Toshiba machines running ATM | 01:15 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | hard to have a community when one side keeps saying "we own it all and wont share", sort of puts a dent in the realtionship | 01:15 |
|---|
| Minataku | One is from 2003 and is my primary system | 01:15 |
|---|
| Minataku | The other is a collection piece from 1987 | 01:15 |

|---|
| Minataku | When it's ready | 01:17 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: run sudo adept_manager | 01:17 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: lets get all the HP stuff installed | 01:17 |
|---|
| NickPresta | Linux_Galore, that should be kdesu, instead of sudo | 01:17 |
|---|
| michael_ | gotta go | 01:17 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | k | 01:17 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | NickPresta: never used the k version in 3 years | 01:18 |
|---|
| michael_ | later folks, thanks | 01:18 |
|---|
| NickPresta | Linux_Galore, that's fine, but http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo | 01:18 |
|---|
| michael_ | I may have more time later | 01:18 |
|---|
| michael_ | thanks Linux_Galore: | 01:18 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | NickPresta: I know, un-needed fluster | 01:18 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | ok so what do i now | 01:19 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | type hp in the seach box | 01:19 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: what type of HP printer is it ? | 01:20 |
|---|
| Zabulus | now that my mouse is actually working, knock on wood, any suggestions on making the linux experience more pleasurable? | 01:20 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | its an deskjet 832C and 830C | 01:20 |
|---|
| Minataku | Hm | 01:21 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Zabulus: mplayer libdvdcss2 (medibuntu repo) | 01:21 |
|---|
| Minataku | I just noticed that the Toshiba T1200 keyboard has the Ctrl key in the Unix position | 01:21 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | Linux_Galore, 832C and 830C, i DLed the drivers though so it owrks now | 01:22 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: ok make sure the foomatic-hp-hpijs package is installed if not install it | 01:22 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: aah dont worry then | 01:22 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | Linux_Galore, lol yeah its installed and thanks... | 01:22 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: might be wise though to install the correct drivers package | 01:23 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: that way you get any updates automatically | 01:23 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | Linux_Galore, foomatic? yeah its installed | 01:24 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | I find that by using windows for some time.. when i come back to Linux.. i find linux very pleasureable.. :) | 01:25 |
|---|
| neville | Yes!! | 01:26 |
|---|
| neville | I agree! | 01:26 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: also hpijs | 01:26 |
|---|
| Zabulus | gahh, now i get to figure out why audio card isnt working... | 01:26 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | I have mixed feeling, windows does some things better linux others | 01:26 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | Zabulus: networking working now? | 01:26 |
|---|
| Zabulus | my networking was fine, i was having problems with my mouse | 01:27 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | I think it more to do with Linux not being supported by hardware makers than anything | 01:27 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | I find some programs FOR windows - do some things better then some programs for linux. :) | 01:27 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | oh... yeah... thats right | 01:27 |
|---|
| Zabulus | now im trying to play music, but im not hearing anything | 01:27 |
|---|
| neville | Try them in Wine? | 01:27 |
|---|
| neville | I fiddled with it for a long time | 01:27 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Vista seems to have been a step back in 'hardware' compatiability for a lot of my stuff... | 01:27 |
|---|
| neville | And got most everything of mine going fine in wine | 01:27 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | Zabulus: check and make sure all of the channels in kmix are maxxed and unmuted | 01:27 |
|---|
| neville | Except for some games | 01:27 |
|---|
| === michael__ is now known as chanshe |
| Dr_willis | sucks when the HW makers decide to obsolete things. :) | 01:27 |

|---|
| === ubuntu is now known as N1ghtm4r3 |
| Dr_willis | Im not sure how well Nero 8 would work with wine. Id live to see all of Nero8 and its tools ported to linux | 01:28 |

| Linux_Galore | I think Linux doesnt sell the community aspect enough and just talks software | 01:28 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | Microsoft Achilles heal is the lack of a free and open community | 01:29 |
|---|
| N1ghtm4r3 | Helo everybody | 01:29 |
|---|
| N1ghtm4r3 | i am right now on my Kubuntu Live CD | 01:29 |

| Zabulus | everything in kmix is good | 01:29 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | Linux_Galore, i just installed hpijs like you said anything else i should do? | 01:29 |
|---|
| neville | See | 01:29 |
|---|
| neville | If Linux had a footprint bigger than <1% | 01:30 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: well you can look at the other packages and see what you like but thats all I installed form my HP jet stuff | 01:30 |
|---|
| neville | I'm sure we'd get alot of the Windows software too | 01:30 |
|---|
| neville | =] | 01:30 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | Zabulus: hrm... what audio chipset? | 01:30 |
|---|
| N1ghtm4r3 | im going to reinstall Kubuntu again | 01:30 |
|---|
| Zabulus | i have a soundblaster audigy 4 | 01:30 |
|---|
| N1ghtm4r3 | due to previous problems | 01:31 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | Linux_Galore, ok, can you have a look at this question and give me your thought http://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/19501 | 01:31 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | !hardware | Zabulus look it up on this page | 01:31 |
|---|
| ubotu | Zabulus look it up on this page: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 01:31 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | audigy 4? that the xi-fi card? | 01:31 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | or is it called X-fi - i forget. | 01:32 |
|---|
| Zabulus | thats whats weird, i think it was working with feisty | 01:33 |
|---|
| Zabulus | maybe the bios turned my onboard audio back on... | 01:33 |
|---|
| NickPresta | Dr_willis, it's X-Fi, but that isn't the same as the audigy 4 card, IIRC | 01:33 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: why RTSS, I just use nfs | 01:33 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Well last i heard the 'x-fi' cards for some odd reason - creative had released 64bit drivers.. but not 32bit drivers... | 01:34 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | whats nfs... | 01:34 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | I havent kept up on it lately. My Audigy2 is still doing the job. :) | 01:34 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | !nfs | 01:34 |
|---|
| ubotu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 01:34 |
|---|
| NickPresta | Dr_willis, yeah. I was checking it out today: http://connect.creativelabs.com/linux/default.aspx | 01:34 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | !nfs | 01:34 |
|---|
| NickPresta | Dr_willis, the 64bit drivers aren't too great but at least they're available :) | 01:34 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Yep. Creative really dropped the ball with their x-fi stuf.. i was going to get one.. but decided to not bother. | 01:35 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | !nfs > lovedeatm | 01:35 |

| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: user | | 01:35 |

| lovedeatm | thats for the file sharing side...RTSS is for streaming audio | 01:36 |

|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: what not icecast | 01:37 |
|---|
| Zabulus | well, i think ill check bios to see if onboard got activated somehow | 01:37 |
|---|
| Zabulus | brb | 01:37 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | lovedeatm: why not icecast | 01:37 |
|---|
| lovedeatm | Linux_Galore, i have icecast...im more concerned about the workstations part of the question | 01:38 |

|---|
| Linux_Galore | I must be the only person with over 40 different version or space invaders | 01:53 |
|---|
| Zabulus | you should be able to use feisty do update, not have to use image | 01:53 |
|---|
| user_ | Zabulus: I have a corrupted version of 7.04 already :/ | 01:53 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | I must be the only person with over 40 different versions of space invaders | 01:54 |
|---|
| Zabulus | ouch | 01:54 |
|---|
| Zabulus | you said that | 01:54 |
|---|
| user_ | zabulus: i have no directory other than "root" | 01:54 |
|---|
| user_ | zabulus: which contains "desktop" and thats *all* | 01:54 |
|---|
| Zabulus | how the hell did you do that? | 01:54 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Are you viewing "hidden" files/folders? | 01:55 |
|---|
| user_ | zabulus: don't know. booting one day, it said it found errors on the disk, and to run fsck. So i did, and when i finally was able to get into X, everything was gone | 01:55 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | user_: sudo -s then look | 01:55 |
|---|
| user_ | ardchoille, linux_galore: i can try that, but i'd like to do a fresh install of 7.10 | 01:56 |
|---|
| Zabulus | 40 different versions of space invaders, i think ive played 10-20 different versions, dont have any installed on my comp | 01:56 |

| user_ | am i able to mount the .iso while running Feisty? | 01:56 |
|---|
| user_ | networking is all i have that still works | 01:56 |

| Linux_Galore | user_: standard user on 7.04 cant view root directories from memory | 01:56 |

|---|
| neville | Has anybody here ever given Virtualbox a go before? | 01:57 |
|---|
| user_ | linux_galore: maybe i phrased it wrong - when i open konqueror, it automatically opens root (file:///), and in there is "Desktop". There are *no* other directories (ie, /usr, /bin/ /home) | 01:57 |
|---|
| neville | If so, what was the performance like? | 01:57 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | user_: correct that is exactly right | 01:58 |
|---|
| user_ | linux_galore: so what is the fix? | 01:58 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | user_: you opened konqueror as a "user" users dont change root directories on root does | 01:58 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | only* | 01:58 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | neville: works great here | 01:59 |
|---|
| user_ | i used to be able to view all directories before, now i can't even open /home | 01:59 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | user_: type sudo konqueror | 01:59 |
|---|
| user_ | ok, so what changed? | 01:59 |
|---|
| user_ | why could i view all my directories before, but not now? | 01:59 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | user_: basically your user isnt an administrator | 01:59 |

| mcrandello | neville: I'm running windows in it, it's not much slower than native | 01:59 |
|---|
| Zabulus | hey, is there a game like bust a move that i can dl? | 01:59 |
|---|
| mcrandello | neville: having some problems with drm devices though which kind of makes it moot | 01:59 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | user_: check your user settings, basically your machine is in normal secure mode | 02:00 |
|---|
| user_ | linux_galore: so i do i revert back to the way it was? | 02:00 |
|---|
| user_ | linux_galore: i wouldn't know where to look, as i didn't knowingly change anything- this all started after running fsck | 02:00 |
|---|
| mcrandello | neville: also turn off composite effects on the DT if you want to run windows in seamless mode, it causes refresh problems otherwise | 02:00 |
|---|
| neville | Ahh | 02:00 |
|---|
| neville | Because, I wasp lanning on putting Windows 98 on it, and seeing if Starcraft would run well | 02:01 |
|---|
| === rob1 is now known as rob |
| neville | Due to Wine not entirely liking Starcraft | 02:01 |
|---|
| mcrandello | I don't think it does accellerated 3d if it uses that | 02:01 |
|---|
| neville | Starcraft is direct draw 3 =] | 02:01 |
|---|
| Zabulus | hehe, bomberman!!! | 02:01 |
|---|
| neville | Only needs a 90MHz processor, 16Mb ram | 02:02 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | user_: The root directory (/) contains a file called /.hidden. Open this in a text editor and delete the names of the directories which you want to have shown. | 02:02 |
|---|
| MaTiAz | insane requirements. | 02:02 |
|---|
| neville | Tell that to me when I had my pentium 90, and I'll be inclined to agree =P | 02:02 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | user_: you will have to open the file with sudo | 02:02 |
|---|
| neville | Thanks for the input though mcrandello | 02:03 |
|---|
| Zabulus | so whats a good version of bomberman on here? | 02:03 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | ksudo kedit | 02:03 |
|---|
| Zabulus | multiplayer version hopefully... | 02:03 |
|---|
| user_ | linux_galore: thanks! that probably will work. But now, I'm still interested in being able to mount an .iso of 7.10 (seems better to do fresh install - people have had issues upgrading). Is this possible? | 02:04 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | !upgrade | 02:04 |
|---|
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 02:04 |
|---|
| user_ | Linux_Galore: i don't want to upgrade- I want to do a fresh install, hopefully without the aid of flash drive (don't have one) or cd-rom (recently died) | 02:05 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | user_: I don't suppose it can net-boot? | 02:06 |
|---|
| user_ | linux_galore: if this isn't possible, i'll try the upgrade | 02:06 |
|---|
| mcrandello | user_: that's going to be very complicated I would think | 02:06 |
|---|
| ardchoille | user_: How many hard drives do you have? | 02:06 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | user_: just upgrade, it will just replace the old packages | 02:06 |
|---|
| user_ | ardchoille: only one | 02:06 |
|---|
| mcrandello | partitions? | 02:06 |
|---|
| ardchoille | user_: Ok, you're going to need one partition to use while the installer is running and another partition to hold the new system it is installing to. Can you see why that wouldn't be a good thing with only one drive? | 02:07 |
|---|
| Zabulus | hey, does anyone know of a good multiplayer online version of bomberman? the more like bomberman party edition it is the better | 02:07 |
|---|
| user_ | ardchoille: yeah, i understand... fortunately, repartitoning is fairly easy | 02:07 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | ardchoille: think about the path your taking, have you got a spare 3 hours | 02:08 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Linux_Galore: That's exactly what I was trying to get user_ to realise | 02:08 |
|---|
| user_ | ok, i get it! :) I'll re-open hidden files, and upgrade like everyone else | 02:09 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | user_: basically with Linux almost anything can be done, the down side is your going to have to blow 3-4 hours way of your time to get there | 02:09 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | away* | 02:09 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | user_: the hidden files are not hidden to the root user only to the normal user | 02:10 |
|---|
| user_ | linux_galore: why would it take 3 hours to mount 2 drives and copy an O/S to one? | 02:10 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | as onlg as you have "cp" anything is possible | 02:10 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | user_: updates are a root process so those directories wont be hidden | 02:10 |
|---|
| user_ | linux_galore: ok, so i can skip that step if i just want to upgrade, right? | 02:10 |
|---|
| user_ | I can just use | 02:11 |
|---|
| user_ | Adept to upgrade then? | 02:11 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | user_: backup files, resize partitions, partition hard disk, the list goes on | 02:12 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | user_: just read the following link | 02:12 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | !upgrade | 02:12 |
|---|
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 02:12 |

| Linux_Galore | I usually just save /home and flush the system | 02:14 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Better to put /home on its own partition | 02:15 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | ardchoille: I do that but I have had installers totally ignore my instructions and stuff up /home | 02:15 |

| hrp2171 | awesome nyork | 02:59 |
|---|
| nyork | neo: yep.. let's try.. | 02:59 |
|---|
| NIXPIX | it didnt have this problem | 02:59 |
|---|
| hrp2171 | thanks | 02:59 |
|---|
| ardchoille | nyork: That's not recommended nor supported. | 02:59 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | Zabulus: started happening again? | 02:59 |
|---|
| nyork | hrp2171: you are the root user now? :-) | 02:59 |
|---|
| Zabulus | yep... | 02:59 |
|---|
| Zabulus | i was doing different stuff, tried to go to myspace, and it froze | 03:00 |
|---|
| hrp2171 | ardchoille: im using the live cd to recover some files off my niece's laptop because the drive won't boot anymore. | 03:00 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | Zabulus: any clue at all what you did? do a "dmesg" see if the kernel is doing something. | 03:00 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | sudo -c is not to be used unless you have your head screwed on | 03:00 |
|---|
| neo | acpid, aio/0 artsd aspell ata/0 ata-aux atd avahi-daemon bash cron cupsd | 03:00 |
|---|
| Zabulus | seems like it happens when the computer is loading something | 03:00 |
|---|
| ardchoille | sudo is all that is needed. Been using it for years and haven't needed anyting else | 03:00 |
|---|
| hrp2171 | Linux_Galore: i know how to run with scissors LOL | 03:00 |
|---|
| deuryte | xcell | 03:01 |
|---|
| Zabulus | ummmm, dmesg has a nice long output | 03:01 |
|---|
| Kr4t05 | VOICE ME NIGGERS | 03:01 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | ardchoille: depends, I often have long admin sessions and sudo can be annoying | 03:01 |
|---|
| Xcell | ya | 03:01 |
|---|
| nyork | neo: list all process not only those for the user | 03:01 |
|---|
| deuryte | the "j" room is now back open... | 03:01 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | Zabulus: just look at the last 20 lines or so( if you haven't rebooted since your mouse froze) | 03:02 |
|---|
| neo | Its all, should I list enter more now. | 03:02 |
|---|
| Xcell | lol b right there. | 03:02 |
|---|
| polo2 | sources.list.save is a backup of the original sources.list? | 03:02 |
|---|
| Xcell | lol not 4 me. | 03:02 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | ardchoille: for 5 minute admin sessions sudo is fine but for reconfiguring apache or mysql on a server forget it | 03:02 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | polo2: maybe. | 03:02 |
|---|
| === cheguevara is now known as Che|sleep |
| Zabulus | am i looking for something specific? im too new to linux... | 03:03 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Linux_Galore: sudo vim apache2.conf? | 03:03 |
|---|
| polo2 | maybe? is posible not? | 03:03 |
|---|
| nyork | neo: in the process table tab .... you can use the list all processes drop down... | 03:03 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | ardchoille: 1 file, now the other few thousand root only files I have | 03:03 |
|---|
| adamonline45 | sub[t]rnl: Alright cool, thank you! My color still doesn't match a gif I made in gimp when viewed from my windows computer... | 03:03 |
|---|
| RobertoM_[away] | Linux_Galore: maybe you miss sudo -s ? :-) | 03:04 |
|---|
| RobertoM_[away] | The real problem with sudo is that if you mess with your hostname, you're out of your PC | 03:04 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | yeah sorry typo sudo -s | 03:05 |
|---|
| === narg_ is now known as narg |
| Linux_Galore | sigh, to many command flags | 03:05 |
|---|
| deuryte | xcell, non responding | 03:05 |
|---|
| mcrandello | is -s similar to -i? | 03:05 |
|---|
| Xcell | ya I cant go.lol | 03:06 |
|---|
| Zabulus | nosrednaekim: am i looking for something specific? | 03:06 |
|---|
| nyork | mcrandello: -s: shows sizes with -l. -l only show long list format | 03:07 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | Zabulus: anything to do with USB or mouse | 03:07 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | Zabulus: did you reboot since it froze last? | 03:07 |
|---|
| Zabulus | nope | 03:07 |
|---|
| RobertoM_[away] | mcrandello: (if you where talking about sudo :-) ) similar but not the same. -s only starts a shell in the current dir, -i simulates a login for the root user | 03:08 |
|---|
| Zabulus | i dont see anything about usb or mouse... | 03:08 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | sudo -i changes the user variable -s doesnt ie $PATH etc | 03:08 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | Zabulus: soo how are you working without a mouse? | 03:08 |
|---|
| Zabulus | alt+tab and what not | 03:09 |
|---|
| RobertoM_[away] | 4am... time to go to sleep for me ^^' good night to all | 03:09 |
|---|
| mcrandello | RobertoM_[away]: so then -s would be a lot handier in a lot of instances where I don't want to change dirs to /root | 03:09 |
|---|
| mcrandello | (night) | 03:09 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | Zabulus: lol, ok....try doing "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and look at the last 20 or so lines of that for anything relating to mouse or input | 03:09 |
|---|
| hrp2171 | thanks guys. worked wonderfully. | 03:09 |
|---|
| Xcell | deuryte | 03:10 |
|---|
| deuryte | yo | 03:10 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | mcrandello: yes if you what to stick to your admin user variables -s is better | 03:10 |
|---|

| nosrednaekim | Zabulus: can you pastebin it? | 03:11 |
|---|
| neo | Well these are all of the processes, which one to stop and how | 03:11 |
|---|
| Zabulus | ummm, not really | 03:11 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: in ksysguard ? | 03:11 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | Zabulus: you registered? if so...PM me and paste it there | 03:11 |
|---|
| neo | yes | 03:11 |
|---|
| nyork | neo: you can sort these processes such that it is arranged from process intensive to lesser | 03:12 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: select it then stop it with the button down the bottom | 03:12 |
|---|
| Zabulus | ok, but it might take a while, and it might be a mess | 03:12 |
|---|
| neo | VMsize? | 03:12 |

| nyork | neo; just click the "System%" on top | 03:12 |

|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: click on the vmsize column that should show what is sucking up your ram | 03:13 |
|---|
| neo | ok | 03:14 |

| Linux_Galore | neo: dont kill xorg | 03:14 |
|---|
| neo | ok | 03:14 |
|---|
| neo | xorg is taking up 97 | 03:14 |
|---|
| ardchoille | sub[t]rnl: Yes, htop is awesome | 03:14 |
|---|
| Xcell | ya htop rocks | 03:14 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: xorg is your graphical interface | 03:14 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: 97 in what column ? | 03:15 |
|---|
| neo | I don't know which process I need and which I don't thats why l listed all of them to see if you can see which ones not right. | 03:15 |
|---|
| neo | VmSize column | 03:15 |
|---|
| neo | konversation is 62 | 03:16 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: go down one at a time starting from the top | 03:16 |

|---|
| path_ | :\ | 03:17 |
|---|
| Xcell | oi | 03:17 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | problem* | 03:17 |
|---|
| neo | you mean the five highest in the VmSize column | 03:17 |
|---|
| nyork | neo: yup | 03:17 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: yep, if its sucking up that much ram it will be up the top | 03:18 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | in vmsize | 03:18 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | within the first 5-10 but normall the first 5 | 03:18 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | normally* | 03:19 |
|---|
| nyork | path: try sudo rm /usr/share/man/man1/vimtutor.1.gz. then run your upgrade again | 03:19 |
|---|
| neo | Then its Xorg-97 konversation-62 kdesktop-53 kinfocenter-47 kicker-38 konqueror-38 artsd-37 kded-35 | 03:19 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: looks normal | 03:19 |
|---|
| neo | Is it possible that there might be spyware running | 03:20 |
|---|
| Xcell | oi | 03:20 |
|---|
| Xcell | nozi | 03:20 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: not on Linux | 03:20 |
|---|
| nyork | neo: Linux_Galore is right.. it is not possible in GNU/Linux | 03:20 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: with Linux you have to "intentionally" install spyware | 03:20 |
|---|
| path_ | nyork same error | 03:20 |
|---|
| neo | Should I list the rest that are in double figures? | 03:21 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: if you want, could be you have too much crud running, it does add up | 03:21 |
|---|
| neo | crud? | 03:21 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: applets/monitors etc | 03:21 |
|---|
| ardchoille | neo: How much ram do you have?> | 03:22 |
|---|
| neo | I migrated to Linux few days back and I don't even know how to properly setup my desktop let alone set 'crud'! | 03:22 |
|---|
| neo | 512mb | 03:22 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: on my machine firefox is consuming 207mb and right under that is xorg | 03:22 |
|---|
| path_ | locale: Cannot set LC_CTYPE to default locale: No such file or directory | 03:23 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | 512mb is cutting it a bit thin these days | 03:23 |
|---|
| path_ | WTF ? | 03:23 |
|---|
| neo | ok should I increase the ram | 03:23 |
|---|
| path_ | I cant install anything :shock: | 03:23 |
|---|
| Xcell | deuryte | 03:24 |
|---|
| ardchoille | neo: One thing you could do is kill konqueror if you don't use it much. I'm not sure why the devs made d3lphin the default fm and then left 2 konq procs running all the time. | 03:24 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | path_: I had the same bug a while back in feisty | 03:24 |
|---|
| neo | how do I kill a process? | 03:24 |
|---|
| Xcell | deuryte | 03:24 |
|---|
| path_ | Linux_Galore and you fixed it ? | 03:25 |
|---|
| deuryte | sup | 03:25 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: right click on the process then click on the [KILL] button down the bottom | 03:25 |
|---|
| Xcell | alt+f2+kppp | 03:25 |
|---|
| nyork | path: they have this thread in ubuntu forum.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=167504&highlight=VIM | 03:25 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | path_: yes, Im trying to remember how, it was a package script bug | 03:25 |
|---|
| neo | there is no kill option | 03:25 |
|---|
| deuryte | what is that?? | 03:26 |
|---|
| nyork | path: i just don't know if that will also work for you.. | 03:26 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | lol | 03:26 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | <Zabulus> ok, now, how do i do that? (forgive my ignorance) | 03:26 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | [22:26] <nosrednaekim> ctrl+alt+backspace.. | 03:26 |
|---|
| nosrednaekim | [22:26] <nosrednaekim> its ok :D | 03:26 |

| nosrednaekim | [22:26] [Error] Zabulus: No such nick/channel. | 03:26 |

| Xcell | bocopy your connection statistics on paper..and boot kubuntu and press alt+f2 and put (kppp) and enter info | 03:26 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | path_: I have the feeling it was ripping kde out and putting it back that fixed it | 03:27 |
|---|
| path_ | nyork It worked :D | 03:27 |
|---|
| nyork | path,Linux_Galore: hope you did not experience the hal errors during the upgrade ... | 03:27 |
|---|
| deuryte | bocopy ?? | 03:27 |
|---|
| Xcell | copy | 03:27 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | nyork: lol, no | 03:27 |
|---|
| nyork | path: awesome.. | 03:28 |
|---|
| path_ | nyork at this point nope | 03:28 |
|---|
| path_ | yet having issues with locales | 03:28 |
|---|
| Xcell | right click on your Ubuntu network screen thingy and copy stats | 03:28 |
|---|
| niteriderII | hi yall | 03:28 |
|---|
| deuryte | connection statistics, where are these?? | 03:28 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: did you run ksysguard ie sudo ksysguard | 03:28 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Never run a gui app with sudo. use kdesudo | 03:28 |
|---|
| nyork | nyork: i have to do a clean install of gutsy rather than an upgrade due to those errors.. that was a few days after the release.. i got my lesson.. upgrade after a month.. | 03:28 |
|---|
| ardchoille | !kdesudo | 03:28 |
|---|
| niteriderII | i need some help for kubuntu concerning a synaptics touch pad | 03:28 |
|---|
| ubotu | 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) | 03:28 |
|---|
| Xcell | bottom right..click on the small computer screen | 03:29 |
|---|
| neo | yes and I found the kill button, I was looking for it in the context menu(that how I did it in windows) | 03:29 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: I did say "down the bottom" | 03:29 |
|---|
| neo | Sorry and thanks, so would you suggest I should get more ram? | 03:30 |
|---|
| deuryte | it just showed connection speed and ip address.. no data there for modem configs | 03:30 |
|---|
| neo | Ya sorry, my mistake. | 03:30 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: yeah, I added another 512meg on the last update | 03:30 |
|---|
| Xcell | system.network settings..go from there | 03:30 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: mainly sue to firefox sucking up my ram | 03:30 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | due* | 03:30 |
|---|
| Xcell | sys admin.net settings | 03:30 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: 512m of ram is dirt cheap right now | 03:31 |
|---|
| neo | Ya it does that and I am definitely upping my ram | 03:31 |
|---|
| path_ | Need to get 583MB/597MB of archives. | 03:31 |
|---|
| neo | I have p3 I wonder if it supports 1g ram | 03:31 |

|---|
| deuryte | 4 | 03:31 |
|---|
| Xcell | k | 03:31 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | neo: firefox 3 is fixing the ram problem | 03:31 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | I think firefox 3 is on the repo too | 03:32 |
|---|
| neo | that would be nice and I can't wait to use it, I love FF. | 03:32 |
|---|

| posingaspopular | Linux_Galore: i have this msg: You are not using "bash" as your default shell. This is most likely because you are using Ubuntu which links the default shell to the "dash" shell. See http://liquidweather.net/howto/index.php?id=59 on how to fix this. thinliquidfilm won't work properly unless you fix this. | 03:49 |
|---|
| posingaspopular | any idae? | 03:49 |
|---|
| posingaspopular | will it matter? | 03:49 |

| rob_ | all aptitude related programs will not acess the internet, how do I fix this? | 03:50 |

|---|
| rob_ | that's not the problem | 03:50 |
|---|
| Xcell | oh | 03:50 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | how to fix it? heh tghe fix is for them to do their shell scripts right. :) | 03:50 |
|---|
| hydrogen | posingaspopular: see the link in the message you pasted? | 03:50 |
|---|
| rob_ | the aptitude programs function correctly | 03:50 |
|---|
| rob_ | just they won't acess the internet | 03:50 |
|---|
| rob_ | I can reinstall programs who's packages have already been downloaded | 03:51 |
|---|
| hydrogen | although their justificationis are a bit not at all right | 03:51 |
|---|
| rob_ | I can uninstall programs | 03:51 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | that 'fix' for fixing dash/bash is totally wrong in its 'reasons' | 03:51 |
|---|
| hydrogen | yes | 03:51 |
|---|
| rob_ | but apdept manager, apt-get, adept updater, aptitude, etc will not access the internet | 03:52 |
|---|
| rob_ | can anyone help me? | 03:52 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | and its wrong in how to propely set /bin/sh to be bash. :0 | 03:52 |
|---|
| Xcell | Dr_willis: it is a fix for those just starting..and will allow them to continue. | 03:52 |
|---|
| hydrogen | no | 03:52 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Xcell, yes. but theres the proper way to fix it.. then there his changes | 03:52 |
|---|
| hydrogen | it is a broken | 03:52 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | !dash | 03:52 |
|---|
| ubotu | /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash | 03:52 |
|---|
| Xcell | Dr_willis: post the fix then. | 03:52 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Heh that factoid has a typo also. | 03:52 |
|---|
| hydrogen | /bin/sh is required to be a posix shell | 03:53 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | if the script uses BASH then it shoudl call bash with #!/bin/bash NOT #!/bin/sh | 03:53 |
|---|
| hydrogen | not a bash shell | 03:53 |
|---|
| rob_ | #room | 03:53 |
|---|
| rob_ | ok so can anyone help me? | 03:53 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | the scripts are using 'bash' features - which do not exist in sh. | 03:53 |
|---|
| rob_ | this is a serious problem... I was thinking of reinstalling linux but then I'd have to start from scratch and I'd rather not do that | 03:53 |
|---|
| Xcell | Nicely done | 03:54 |
|---|
| Xcell | Dr_willis: | 03:54 |

| rob_ | !adept | 03:54 |
|---|
| ubotu | adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto | 03:54 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | the proper way to change dash to bash is ----> sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash | 03:54 |
|---|
| Xcell | But: beginners cant get that far and are not afforded that info on a daily basis. | 03:54 |
|---|
| hydrogen | Xcell: so the scripts need to behave properly | 03:55 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Xcell, totally wrong.. that sites fix had them doing all sorts of things... | 03:55 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash --> asks a Simple YES/NO | 03:55 |
|---|
| rob_ | HELP | 03:55 |
|---|
| hydrogen | rob_: be patient | 03:55 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | the true fix is for the scripts to quit relying on the bash 'bug' of allowing bash features when called as sh. | 03:55 |
|---|
| rob_ | ok ok hydrogen I'll hold on | 03:55 |
|---|
| Xcell | k | 03:55 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | rob, does 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' work? | 03:55 |
|---|
| Xcell | But like I said: Beginners who come here dont get that info readily. | 03:56 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | posingaspopular: I found it didnt ,atter | 03:56 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | posingaspopular: matter* | 03:56 |
|---|
| Xcell | I never seen it till U just posted it Dr_willis | 03:56 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Xcell, sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash = - is much more clear then their fix.. and the script writers need to be told of the bug in their script. | 03:56 |
|---|
| hydrogen | Xcell: they do if the friendly people who answer questions answer it | 03:56 |
|---|
| hydrogen | !dash shows it properly | 03:57 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Xcell, when they first did the dash change. there was a lot of scriopts that got broke. | 03:57 |
|---|
| Xcell | hydrogen: That is a rarity. | 03:57 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | most of them that i know are now fixed. | 03:57 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | posingaspopular: easy to change the default back to bash though sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash | 03:57 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh explains the reasons and issues. | 03:57 |
|---|
| Xcell | Thanks Dr_willis. | 03:58 |
|---|
| Xcell | That should be the fix that ubotu should show. | 03:58 |
|---|
| === neville is now known as neville__ |
| Dr_willis | The fix at the liquid weather site.. leads me to belive the guy dident research the dash program/problem very much. :) | 03:59 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | yea theres a typo in the bots factoid it seems | 03:59 |

|---|
| posingaspopular | ah i see.. thanks guys | 03:59 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Thats the 'core' of the bugs with lots of scripts.. but theres other things to watch for. | 03:59 |
|---|
| posingaspopular | it doesn't matter atm because ubutnu decided to not see or mount my ipod again. whatever i'll deal with this some other time | 04:00 |
|---|

|---|
| Zombocom | yes Xcell as a matter of fact I am | 04:04 |
|---|
| Xcell | k Dr_willis thanks man. | 04:04 |

| Linux_Galore | there is a weird way of transfering video file to your ipod, use Amarok, Im not kidding it works | 04:06 |
|---|
| Xcell | Zombocom: I used the 32 bit kubuntu to avoid problems when learning linux..that was a personal decision. | 04:06 |
|---|
| Zombocom | I'm not really learning | 04:06 |
|---|
| Zombocom | normally I can maintain a system pretty well | 04:06 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | only down side is it doesnt name the file properly on the ipod | 04:06 |
|---|
| Zombocom | it's when stuff like this happens | 04:06 |
|---|
| Zombocom | I'm going to uninstall something that I think could be at fault here | 04:07 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | but you can see the video file on the ipod and play it | 04:07 |
|---|
| Xcell | Do the 32 bit thing..you will be much happier. | 04:07 |
|---|
| NickPresta | SuprUsr, du -c --si -max-depth=0 DIR `man du` for more information | 04:07 |

| sakthian | how to install xmms-1.2.11.tar.gz in my system | 04:32 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | !source | 04:32 |
|---|
| ubotu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 04:32 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | Oh, wait. | 04:32 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | sakthian, why are you installing xmms from source in the first place? | 04:32 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | !info xmms | 04:33 |
|---|
| ubotu | xmms: Versatile X audio player. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.2.10+20070601-1 (gutsy), package size 2101 kB, installed size 6292 kB | 04:33 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | Old version? | 04:33 |
|---|
| Zombocom | ok 1 or 2... 1 as in hold down shutdown untill system powers off by force or 2 enter sudo shutdown -r now in the terminal | 04:33 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | xmms is not that old. :) | 04:33 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | Well, I dunno? | 04:33 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | Anyway. | 04:33 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | xmms IS old.. i mean.. and its proberly best to start using some other tools.. :) but the version in the repo is not that old from the one he has. | 04:33 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | Dr_willis: How do you trim out the directory name when you run "du -hs" | 04:33 |
|---|
| Xcell | sudo shutdown -r now | 04:33 |
|---|
| Zombocom | kk | 04:34 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | SuprUsr, what dir name? | 04:34 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | du -hs | 04:34 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | 80K . | 04:34 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | you mean the . ? | 04:34 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | 24G . | 04:34 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | Yes. | 04:34 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | guess ya could use awk for that. | 04:34 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | The dot. | 04:34 |
|---|
| Xcell | waits. | 04:34 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | check the du options - it may have it also. | 04:34 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | Dr_willis: I did. Nothing seems to be in there. :/ | 04:35 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | du -s | 04:35 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | 203012472 | 04:35 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | oh wait it had the . also. :) heh | 04:35 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | Or else I'm not looking hard enough... I've stared at the manpage for du for a few minutes. | 04:35 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | I thought grep might be able to do it, but I guess not. :/ | 04:36 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | grep prints out lines matching a pattern. | 04:36 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | Yeah. | 04:36 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | awk/sed edit input out. | 04:36 |
|---|
| Xcell | Zombocom hasnt returned..oi. | 04:37 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | du -s | awk '{print $1}' | 04:37 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | 203012472 | 04:37 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | :P | 04:38 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | Dr_willis: Awesome. | 04:38 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | Thanks. :) | 04:38 |
|---|
| sakthian | how to install .tar.gz | 04:38 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | awk is worth learning a bit of.. | 04:38 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | sakthian, uncompress it.. read its docs.. installthe needed libs/C compiler. do the './configure make, and make install' procedure | 04:38 |
|---|
| maduser | whats that other program similar to awk is it called sed? | 04:39 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | sed and awk sort of are like... salt and pepper. :) | 04:39 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | both work well together. :) | 04:39 |
|---|
| maduser | sed is easier to use | 04:39 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | but ya often perfer one to the other. | 04:39 |
|---|
| maduser | true | 04:40 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Yep. sed is good for a lot of the similer needs. | 04:40 |
|---|
| maduser | but can't awk do more? | 04:40 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | perl can also do a lot of things. | 04:40 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | awk is... sort of amazing in what it can do. | 04:40 |
|---|
| maduser | more amazing then sed? | 04:40 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | I have the using sed/awk book. | 04:40 |
|---|
| maduser | ah | 04:40 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Yes. awk is much more amazing/flexiable/powerfull then sed | 04:40 |
|---|
| maduser | I learned how to sort of use it off of the acm | 04:40 |
|---|
| maduser | online courses | 04:41 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | awk supports more complex commands better than sed I find | 04:41 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | i belive ive seen games written in awk. :) | 04:41 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | written by SICK people! :) | 04:41 |
|---|
| maduser | there are lots of things created by sick people | 04:41 |
|---|
| maduser | in many senses | 04:42 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | same people who write lisp games heh | 04:42 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | http://doc.novsu.ac.ru/oreilly/unix/sedawk/index.htm | 04:42 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | not sure how legal that url is.. :) | 04:42 |
|---|
| maduser | the same people who made........ | 04:42 |
|---|
| maduser | ufdsfasdffhdhhsdffhdtht | 04:43 |
|---|
| maduser | dam | 04:43 |
|---|
| maduser | i just slamed my keyboard | 04:43 |
|---|
| maduser | woops | 04:43 |
|---|
| awag | anyone have problems with compiz fusion causing a total system freeze on a regular basis? | 04:43 |
|---|
| maduser | no | 04:43 |
|---|
| awag | :) | 04:43 |
|---|
| awag | mine was working fine for about a month | 04:43 |
|---|
| awag | and then last week it started freezing randomly | 04:43 |
|---|
| maduser | then what? | 04:43 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | yes | 04:44 |
|---|
| maduser | ah | 04:44 |
|---|
| awag | i havn't changed anything to my knowledge | 04:44 |
|---|
| maduser | I still have time left for that | 04:44 |
|---|
| awag | another thing that is interesting, at around the time my system started freezing randomly, firefox also stopped saving my previous sessions | 04:45 |
|---|
| awag | even though i have it set to restore session on start | 04:45 |
|---|
| maduser | hmmm | 04:46 |
|---|
| Xcell | interesting | 04:46 |
|---|
| awag | yes | 04:46 |
|---|
| awag | hehe | 04:46 |
|---|
| awag | it sucks | 04:46 |
|---|
| Xcell | restart xorg? | 04:46 |
|---|
| maduser | lots of things suck | 04:47 |
|---|
| Xcell | re config xorg? | 04:47 |
|---|
| awag | well, everything seems to be working fine just using kwin though | 04:47 |
|---|
| maduser | dunno | 04:47 |
|---|
| awag | and compiz seems to work perfect as well, just after about 30 min of using it | 04:48 |
|---|
| awag | it freezes | 04:48 |
|---|
| awag | maybe vid card overheating? | 04:48 |
|---|
| Xcell | ya | 04:48 |
|---|
| awag | it is odd, if i boot up with compiz | 04:48 |
|---|
| Xcell | prolly | 04:48 |
|---|
| awag | and then go away, and don't use my computer | 04:48 |
|---|
| awag | it is fine | 04:48 |
|---|
| maduser | how old is your computer? | 04:48 |
|---|
| awag | but then if i start using it | 04:48 |
|---|
| awag | and spinning my cube and shit | 04:48 |
|---|
| awag | it will die without fail | 04:48 |
|---|
| awag | in about 30 - 1 h | 04:48 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | spinning your cube can cause blindness... | 04:49 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | :) | 04:49 |
|---|
| awag | hahaa | 04:49 |
|---|
| Xcell | lol card is tired. | 04:49 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | dare i suggest just disabling compiz ? | 04:49 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | :P | 04:49 |
|---|
| maduser | you could | 04:49 |
|---|
| awag | well, see, the thing is, when i'm doing homework and stuff, i sometimes like to be able to wobble my windows, and distract myself | 04:49 |
|---|
| maduser | ah | 04:50 |
|---|
| Xcell | lol | 04:50 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | window wabbling can cause blindness... | 04:50 |
|---|
| Zombocom | dear god it fixed nothing | 04:50 |
|---|
| Zombocom | I'm reinstalling kubuntu | 04:50 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | :) My wife made me turn off Wobbly windows for her. | 04:50 |
|---|
| awag | haha | 04:50 |
|---|
| awag | my gf thinks it's cool | 04:50 |
|---|
| Zombocom | and never taking advice from Dr_willis | 04:50 |
|---|
| awag | and wishes windows could do it | 04:50 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Zombocom, or check your /etc/apt/sources.list and apt config file. | 04:50 |
|---|
| maduser | there are much worse things in thois world then reinstalling kubuntu | 04:50 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Zombocom, whatever ya want.. have fun. | 04:50 |
|---|
| awag | lol | 04:50 |
|---|
| Xcell | sudo touch /forcefsck see if U can now. | 04:50 |
|---|
| Zombocom | Xcell I did that | 04:51 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Guess i will stop researching the problem. | 04:51 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Are the menus and things still messed up? | 04:51 |
|---|
| Xcell | sudo apt-get clean ? | 04:51 |
|---|
| awag | man, i bought this video card just so i could use compiz-fusion too | 04:52 |
|---|
| Xcell | how old | 04:52 |
|---|
| awag | is there an app i can use to see the temp of an nvidia card in kubuntu? | 04:52 |

|---|
| kdehelp | hello | 04:55 |
|---|
| kdehelp | y can't I install Kde on my computer | 04:56 |
|---|
| Xcell | ? | 04:56 |
|---|
| Zombocom | KDE 4? | 04:56 |
|---|
| kdehelp | I try to use synaptic | 04:56 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | kdehelp, just use 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' | 04:56 |
|---|
| kdehelp | cant find kde in search | 04:56 |
|---|
| kdehelp | ill try | 04:56 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | install 'kubuntu-desktop' not 'kde' | 04:56 |
|---|
| Xcell | ya | 04:57 |
|---|
| awag | oh, stupid me, nvidia-settings shows temp | 04:57 |
|---|
| Xcell | oi | 04:57 |
|---|
| Xcell | lol | 04:57 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Zombocom, you may want to check your /etc/apt.conf to see if it has any proxy settings, and your /etc/apt/sources.list | 04:57 |
|---|
| awag | hmm, only 42 degrees | 04:58 |
|---|
| path_ | what mirror is fast ? | 04:58 |
|---|
| Xcell | I quit useing graphic cards..on board video for me..less expense and headaches/ | 04:58 |
|---|
| awag | lets see what happens when i reenable compiz | 04:58 |
|---|
| path_ | ubuntu.com seems pretty slow | 04:58 |
|---|
| Zombocom | Dr_willis I don't have many of the core applications that come with kubuntu anymore | 04:59 |
|---|
| Zombocom | I uninstalled a proxifying program that somehow treed up to core aplications | 04:59 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Zombocom, thats... odd... | 04:59 |
|---|
| Zombocom | and uninstalled them | 04:59 |
|---|
| Zombocom | yes it is | 04:59 |
|---|
| Xcell | dony use ubuntu..use a another ubuntu uses 50k max only. | 04:59 |
|---|
| Zombocom | Konqueror | 04:59 |
|---|
| Zombocom | is gone | 04:59 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Zombocom, how did you uninstall them? | 04:59 |
|---|
| Zombocom | Kopete is gone | 04:59 |
|---|
| Xcell | hahhah | 04:59 |
|---|
| Zombocom | I uninstalled something calles smproxy or something | 04:59 |
|---|
| Xcell | 2 funny | 04:59 |
|---|
| Zombocom | smanon | 04:59 |
|---|
| Zombocom | os some thing like that | 04:59 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | HOW did you uninstallit? with adept? or from the command line? | 05:00 |
|---|
| Zombocom | sm something | 05:00 |
|---|
| Zombocom | adept manager | 05:00 |
|---|
| awag | nice, already up 3 degrees | 05:00 |
|---|
| Zombocom | then all of a sudden adept_manager dissapeared | 05:00 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | so adept some how removed itself. :) | 05:00 |
|---|
| Zombocom | I look and adept manager is gone | 05:00 |
|---|
| SuprUsr | Someone name a decent manufacturer of portable media players? (Besides Apple.) | 05:00 |
|---|
| Zombocom | adept is still there | 05:00 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | try 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' perhaps.. | 05:00 |
|---|
| Xcell | zom...download 32 bit...works well on 64 bit comp...no worries. | 05:00 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | if apt now works.. | 05:00 |
|---|
| Zombocom | Xcell it's the principle of it all | 05:00 |
|---|
| Zombocom | Dr_willis I still have the problem where adept doesn't acess the internet | 05:01 |
|---|
| Xcell | I know but still....why punnish yourself. | 05:01 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Zombocom, well now the question.. do you want to try to fix it..or just reinstall the os... | 05:01 |
|---|
| maduser | i would sugest reinstall | 05:01 |
|---|
| Zombocom | reinstall sounds like it would take far less time | 05:01 |
|---|
| kdehelp | looks like it worked,,,thx | 05:01 |
|---|
| kdehelp | Im going to relg in and seell | 05:02 |
|---|
| Xcell | good job kde bravo. | 05:02 |
|---|
| Zombocom | Xcell I on the other hand have failed | 05:02 |
|---|
| awag | hmm, temp is still only 46 C after spinning the cube for a minute or so, that should be a fine temp for it to run at i think.. | 05:02 |
|---|
| Xcell | nah z ur just fine | 05:03 |
|---|
| Xcell | sudo apt-get remove./bill gates. | 05:03 |
|---|
| Zombocom | sudo apt-get remove ./steve jobs | 05:03 |
|---|
| Xcell | lol | 05:03 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | i wouldent think the 6600 video card would have much of a heat issue.. Unless you are in bad need of a cooling fan or 2. | 05:03 |
|---|
| Xcell | z do the 32 bit and be (happy) done with it.........already. | 05:04 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | i would also say - stick with the 32bit disrtos unless you know you have a need for 64bit stuff. | 05:05 |
|---|
| awag | Dr_willis, yeah i can't believe heat would be the problem, i have quite a few fans, and the temps seem to be fine, and i opened the case and put a room fan next to it just in case | 05:05 |
|---|
| Zombocom | NO Xcell I DEMAND THE PAIN | 05:06 |
|---|
| Xcell | lolo un necessary | 05:06 |
|---|
| Xcell | awag | 05:06 |
|---|
| Xcell | z pinch me..hurry........no waiting. | 05:06 |
|---|
| * Zombocom pinches Xcell | 05:07 |
| Xcell | feels 32 bit ticklness. | 05:07 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | awag, could of been some update to compiz that is causing issues/memory leaks leading to crashing.. with compiz its hard to tell. | 05:07 |
|---|
| Xcell | good point...mem leak | 05:08 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | and your cube spinning maybe making it leak faster - due to centripital force. :) | 05:08 |
|---|
| Xcell | plug it with more room fans....lol. | 05:08 |
|---|
| Xcell | maybe a mem test?..all I know. | 05:09 |
|---|
| Xcell | z...stop talking so fast..k? | 05:10 |
|---|
| n1ghtm4r3 | back .. conection went nut | 05:11 |

|---|
| awag | and compiz was taking like 70% cpu | 05:13 |
|---|
| Xcell | it would on startup | 05:14 |

|---|
| mactalla | Xcell: thanks. I'm looking through that now to see if there's anything beyond "install flac" I did find a bug on launchpad that looks like my problem... but no response to it. | 05:36 |

|---|
| northpunk | my nvidia is finally set up and working | 07:03 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | well, compiz was made for gnome, so its trying to load the window manager (default in gnome is metacity) | 07:03 |
|---|
| northpunk | i even get the 3d logo when i start kubuntu now | 07:03 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | because compiz is failing to start | 07:03 |
|---|
| maduser | ug his compiz thinks he has ubuntu | 07:03 |
|---|
| maduser | got to change that | 07:03 |
|---|
| northpunk | yeah i reinstalled ubuntu-desktop still didn't work at all | 07:03 |
|---|
| northpunk | so i removed it again | 07:03 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | heh... | 07:03 |
|---|
| * sub[t]rnl sighs | 07:03 |
| sub[t]rnl | pay attention to the errors that its giving you | 07:04 |
|---|
| northpunk | i started with ubuntu server.. no desktop | 07:04 |
|---|
| northpunk | installed ubuntu desktop.. never worked | 07:04 |
|---|
| northpunk | then i installed kubuntu because it lokos and runs better.. and runs povray hwo i want it too | 07:04 |
|---|
| maduser | it has nothing to do with the desktop | 07:04 |
|---|
| northpunk | so i should spend another hour waiting for ubuntu desktop to install again? | 07:04 |
|---|
| maduser | no | 07:05 |
|---|
| northpunk | i mean gnome | 07:05 |
|---|
| maduser | you got to change the settings so compiz uses emerald | 07:05 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | compiz wont start | 07:05 |
|---|
| northpunk | but everyone is telling me why this isn't working or why that isn't working.. no one has told me how to change that setting | 07:05 |
|---|
| maduser | wait | 07:06 |
|---|
| northpunk | it is all about finding what error messages i geet | 07:06 |
|---|
| maduser | are you like new to linux? | 07:06 |
|---|
| neo | guys when I use dcd to play cd the volume remains very low even with full cd volume in KMix | 07:06 |
|---|
| neo | Why? | 07:06 |
|---|
| northpunk | final told xp to screw off because the bugs were to much | 07:06 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | neo: try alsamixer | 07:06 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | northpunk: you need xgl, compiz isn't loading because of your video card | 07:07 |
|---|
| maduser | yeah | 07:07 |
|---|
| neo | same results with alsamixer too | 07:07 |
|---|
| northpunk | xserverl-xgl? | 07:08 |
|---|
| neo | Is it my soundcard? | 07:09 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | are you using kde or gnome? | 07:09 |
|---|
| northpunk | kde | 07:09 |
|---|
| neo | kde | 07:09 |
|---|
| northpunk | i have installed and removed gnome so many times trying the different patches and things | 07:09 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | northpunk: sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl. then sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (or alt + ctrl + backspace) | 07:09 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | then run compiz --replace | 07:09 |
|---|
| northpunk | and i know i can switch between the 2.. but gnome cluttered up my kstart with to many links | 07:09 |
|---|
| maduser | installing gonome won't do anything | 07:10 |
|---|
| dreaming | that xserver seems to have done the trick for me as well | 07:10 |
|---|
| northpunk | ok well xgl is installing still | 07:10 |
|---|
| dreaming | cheers | 07:10 |

|---|
| sub[t]rnl | now i've abandoned my anti-xwindow ways | 07:13 |
|---|
| maduser | before x? | 07:13 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | i started using linux in 96, we had x | 07:13 |
|---|
| maduser | ah | 07:14 |
|---|
| maduser | but it was really primitive? | 07:14 |
|---|
| Xcell | I had 12 mhz in 96. | 07:14 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | yeah | 07:14 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | still better than windows at the time though | 07:14 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | Xcell: lol | 07:15 |
|---|
| Xcell | he he | 07:15 |
|---|
| Xcell | 286 | 07:15 |

|---|
| Xcell | lol | 07:17 |
|---|
| maduser | thats bad | 07:17 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | yeah | 07:17 |
|---|
| Xcell | hiccup! | 07:17 |
|---|
| maduser | blackout | 07:17 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | whats worse is when I have an external hard-drive filled with 5 years worth of logs | 07:17 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | cause my memory is so bad | 07:17 |
|---|
| * sub[t]rnl pops a top | 07:17 |
| Xcell | lol 5 yrs of logs | 07:17 |
|---|
| * maduser waits til he can drink | 07:18 |
| sub[t]rnl | when you start having to grep your ~/.bash_history, you know its getting bad | 07:18 |
|---|
| Xcell | sips tennesse 190 proof. | 07:18 |
|---|
| maduser | are you trying to kill yourself? | 07:18 |
|---|
| northpunk | my desktop started to load and then... goes white with nothing but a curser in front of it... restarted a few times but i couldn't get it working normal again with out removing xserver-xgl | 07:19 |
|---|
| purpleposeidon | sub[t]rnl: It can't be too bad.... you still know know about ~.bash_history , right? | 07:21 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | +1 purpleposeidon | 07:21 |
|---|
| northpunk | when i ran the ps grep thing from alt f2.. i got a few lins of numbers | 07:21 |
|---|
| northpunk | but like i siad... my desktop screen would go straight white when i tried to log on | 07:21 |
|---|
| northpunk | or after it loaded rather | 07:21 |

| === xevious- is now known as xevious |
| northpunk | was suggested.. but not assisted | 07:28 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | emerald is a window decorator for compiz | 07:28 |
|---|
| northpunk | that has been stated as well | 07:28 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | ok, thats i'm not telling you how to get emerald to work | 07:29 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | thats why | 07:29 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | need compiz to work before we worry about window decorations | 07:29 |
|---|
| northpunk | but someone says compiz won't work with kubuntu | 07:30 |
|---|
| maduser | but doesn't his problem include the matacty themes? | 07:30 |

| arrrghhh | so i have this interesting problem on reboot... alsamixer's master volume always goes way low, and i have to turn it up every time the computer is restarted. is there any way to have it save the master voluem? | 08:54 |
|---|
| vzduch | arrrghhh: sudo alsactl store | 09:06 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | vzduch: ok i'm going to reboot... | 09:17 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | vzduch: that didn't work... | 09:20 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | i didn't have this issue in xfce. | 09:20 |
|---|
| mikkael | i want prevent a specific package from updating. i can do this in synaptic, but how does adept_updater know that it shouldnt update that package ? | 09:23 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | i don't know if you can with adept... | 09:27 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | i need sum help here... how can i upgrade to 7.10 | 09:27 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | i got feisty rightnow | 09:27 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | fire up a terminal | 09:28 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | running | 09:28 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | sudo update-manager -d | 09:28 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | woah... it's offering me hardy already? i didn't realize i had THOSE repos on... sheesh | 09:29 |
|---|
| mikkael | adept is a front end for aptitude, right ? | 09:30 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | either that or apt-get... i don't remember | 09:30 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | it's a gui for APT | 09:31 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adept_Package_Manager | 09:31 |
|---|
| mikkael | so it should be possible to keep a specific version? | 09:31 |
|---|
| mikkael | via terminal .. | 09:31 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | sure? i dunno. | 09:32 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | arrrghhh: it says some packagerepos are deaktivated | 09:32 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | is that a problem?? | 09:32 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | no | 09:33 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | you can reactivate after the dist-upgrade | 09:33 |
|---|
| mikkael | from apt-get manpage: --no-upgrade: Do not upgrade packages; When used in conjunction with install, no-upgrade will prevent packages on the command line from being upgraded if they are already installed. so "sudo apt-get install --no-upgrade openarena-data" would do this job ? | 09:34 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | i'd say so | 09:35 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | try it | 09:35 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | Canonical Ltd. no longer provides support for the following software packages. You can still get support from the community. | 09:36 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | it says | 09:36 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | arrrghhh: you mean, if the upgrade is done, i should just update my packages? | 09:37 |
|---|
| mikkael | maybe some packages moved from main to universe or whatever | 09:38 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | oh, well... | 09:38 |
|---|
| mikkael | universe and multiverse are not officially supported | 09:38 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | after the upgrade is done, i have to run "dist-upgrade" right? | 09:38 |
|---|
| mikkael | as far as i know | 09:38 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | uh i don't think that's necessary | 09:38 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | update-manager -d is the same thing | 09:38 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | oh, aight | 09:38 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | never used the update-manager | 09:38 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | sorry, i'm used to xfce | 09:38 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | it downloads the upgrade now | 09:38 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | i forgot the apt-get way... | 09:39 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | yea the update-manager way is the easiest imo | 09:39 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | 1343 packages | 09:39 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | nice | 09:39 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | yea if you had done "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" it would've done the same thing. oops. | 09:40 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | lul | 09:40 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | :) | 09:40 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | gotta love linux, they give you 143 ways to skin a cat | 09:40 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | :o? | 09:40 |
|---|
| mikkael | dist-upgrade isnt the same as update-manager -d ?! | 09:41 |
|---|
| mikkael | well dist-upgrade leaves me on gutsy.. | 09:41 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | :O | 09:41 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | hrm | 09:42 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | well maybe not. | 09:42 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | i dunno, but i'm positive update-manager -d gets the job done | 09:42 |
|---|
| mikkael | i always update with dist-upgrade | 09:42 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | is it not Kite_DH? | 09:42 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | does its job | 09:42 |
|---|
| mikkael | dist-upgrade will update everything, even if things have to be removed | 09:42 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | 1 hour to go :( | 09:42 |
|---|
| mikkael | safe-upgrade will not remove anything | 09:43 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | at least you're not doing this on dialup | 09:43 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | are you doing this on dialup? | 09:43 |
|---|
| mikkael | but to get to another version 7.04-7.10 or higher, dist-upgrade wont do that | 09:43 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | me? heck no | 09:44 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | just sayin lol | 09:44 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | heh | 09:44 |
|---|
| mikkael | update-manager isnt installed on my system, is this gnome ? | 09:46 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | i'm on kubuntu | 09:46 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | kde | 09:46 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | me too | 09:46 |
|---|
| mikkael | hehe maybe i should reinstall kubuntu-desktop :P | 09:46 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | the original install on this system was xubuntu, but i put kubuntu on it since. | 09:46 |
|---|
| mikkael | update-manager: GNOME application that manages apt updates | 09:47 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | it's possible it came w/xfce... | 09:47 |
|---|
| mikkael | thats it | 09:48 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | never had gnome on here | 09:48 |
|---|
| mikkael | xubuntu has a lot gnome | 09:48 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | well i don't know how Kite_DH got it | 09:48 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | yea that's true | 09:48 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | i moved from windoze to kubuntu edgy | 09:49 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | long long time ago | 09:49 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | lol | 09:49 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | did you ever have gnome? | 09:49 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | not installed, i checked ubuntu 7.04 out tho...via live-cd | 09:49 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | hrm | 09:49 |
|---|
| mikkael | gtk apps integrate good with kde imo :) but i dont like the file saving/opening dialogs :P | 09:49 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | it was nice, but i love KDE | 09:49 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | i dunno | 09:49 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | yea i prefer kde from the 3 big ones | 09:49 |

| tuxwulf | What's more, not all portable MP3 playeers support oggs | 11:46 |
|---|
| Migs-se | I'm just preparing my PC for it. But in the meantime, I want to get a bit informed. :) | 11:47 |
|---|
| pag | Migs-se, sure. Just ask your question(s) :-) | 11:47 |
|---|
| Migs-se | I've heard that the Linux Media Center is based on Kununtu. If I install Kubuntu 7.04, am I able to download the media ceter specific componets? | 11:47 |
|---|
| Migs-se | *center | 11:47 |
|---|
| Migs-se | *Kubuntu | 11:48 |
|---|
| Migs-se | man, my typo's are nasty | 11:48 |
|---|
| Migs-se | Basically, I just want a non-resource hungry OS to run a media center on to play videos on the hard drive/cd-dvd or stream off the network from a Windows-Based PC. | 11:49 |
|---|
| pag | Migs-se, I'm not sure, but it might be possible, if it's in the repositories | 11:49 |
|---|
| Migs-se | I see | 11:50 |
|---|
| Migs-se | a friend mentioned it uses MythTV for the Media Center aspect | 11:50 |
|---|
| Migs-se | well, I'll find out when I start installing it in about 5 minutes | 11:51 |
|---|
| Migs-se | busy making an image of the hard drive before I start. | 11:51 |
|---|
| pag | Migs-se, at least MythTV is in the repo's... so even if you will not be able to install Media Centre in other way, it still should be manually configurable somehow.. | 11:52 |
|---|
| Migs-se | Actually, I'm glad there are people around here today. :) | 11:52 |
|---|
| Migs-se | I see | 11:52 |
|---|
| Migs-se | do you know how large is the download for MythTV? | 11:53 |
|---|
| pag | Migs-se, on my system it says "After unpacking 155MB of additional disk space will be used." but the result may vary a bit in both direcions | 11:54 |
|---|
| kiiz | pag: did't find it in medibuntu repo | 11:54 |
|---|
| pag | kiiz, it's in multiverse | 11:55 |
|---|
| pag | !info libxine1-ffmpeg | 11:55 |
|---|
| Migs-se | Hmm | 11:55 |
|---|
| ubotu | libxine1-ffmpeg: mpeg related plugins for libxine1. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.7-1ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 435 kB, installed size 908 kB | 11:55 |
|---|
| Migs-se | guess I'll only find out when I start Kubuntu then | 11:55 |
|---|
| Migs-se | thanks anyway pag | 11:55 |
|---|
| Migs-se | busy starting up Kubuntu now | 11:56 |
|---|
| Migs-se | Hmmm | 11:56 |
|---|
| pag | Migs-se, good luck :) | 11:56 |
|---|
| Migs-se | looks like Kubuntu Install is not TV Friendly | 11:56 |
|---|
| Migs-se | getting bad picture of blues and purples | 11:56 |
|---|
| Migs-se | guess I have to hook up a monitor | 11:57 |
|---|
| Migs-se | by the way | 11:59 |
|---|
| Migs-se | is Kubuntu Ati friendly now? | 11:59 |
|---|
| Migs-se | I remember with the older linux distros I used, I could't use an ati card | 12:00 |
|---|
| pag | Migs-se, sure it is - Ati just isn't Linux friedly yet ;P | 12:00 |
|---|
| Migs-se | Hmmm | 12:00 |
|---|
| Migs-se | then I may have a problem with TV Out then | 12:00 |
|---|
| Migs-se | how about Nvidia? I have a 5200 that is't being used | 12:00 |
|---|
| pag | Migs-se, nvidia works great as far as I know :) (I don't have experience with TV-out though..) | 12:01 |
|---|
| Migs-se | Ah, we have a visual | 12:01 |
|---|
| Migs-se | looks like Kubuntu needs a monitor for installation, heh | 12:01 |
|---|
| Migs-se | I'll try the Nvidia if the Ati fails | 12:02 |
|---|
| Migs-se | righty, this is where I need some real help, heh | 12:05 |
|---|
| Migs-se | I'm at the partition disk space now | 12:05 |
|---|
| Migs-se | I'm thinking of using it all, but can it still be read on a Windows-Based PC? | 12:05 |
|---|
| Kite_DH | Migs-se: yes | 12:06 |
|---|
| Migs-se | so use the guided-use entire space option or guided-use the largest continuous free space? | 12:07 |
|---|
| Migs-se | don't want to make separate partitions, so I rather use all of the free space. | 12:07 |
|---|
| Migs-se | it will be just 1 oS. | 12:07 |
|---|
| kiiz | pag: under what dir is it in.it is not in the x,libx dir | 12:09 |
|---|
| stdin | kiiz: it's a package you install with adept | 12:09 |
|---|
| pag | kiiz, dir? just open konsole, and type "sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg " | 12:10 |
|---|
| pag | kiiz, ..or use Adept, if you prefer graphical way | 12:10 |
|---|
| kiiz | i dont have an internet connection! | 12:10 |
|---|
| Migs-se | really? | 12:11 |
|---|
| Migs-se | how are you able to communicate here then? | 12:11 |
|---|
| pag | kiiz, http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libs/libxine1-ffmpeg <- you can download all the needed packages from here.. | 12:12 |
|---|
| kiiz | i am in an internet cafe'. far far from home | 12:12 |
|---|
| Migs-se | and Kubuntu is now formatting my drives | 12:13 |
|---|
| Migs-se | *prays for good luck* | 12:13 |
|---|
| Norgur | stop praying | 12:13 |
|---|
| Norgur | this never helped for me :P | 12:13 |
|---|
| Migs-se | LOL! | 12:15 |
|---|
| Eicca | Is there any playstation emulators for kubuntu? | 12:15 |
|---|
| Migs-se | just curious, but where are you based pag? | 12:16 |
|---|
| Norgur | Eicca, jes there is | 12:16 |
|---|
| Migs-se | Eicca: Ah! thanks for reminding me | 12:16 |
|---|
| Norgur | in repos: pcsx | 12:16 |
|---|
| pag | Migs-se, you mean, which country am I from? I currently live in Finland.. | 12:16 |
|---|
| Migs-se | yep, was refering to country. | 12:16 |
|---|
| Migs-se | I Hail from South Africa though | 12:17 |

| * oliver3 stares at Dolphin in Kubuntu | 12:20 |
| kiiz | pag: do i also have to download links with red bottons | 12:21 |
|---|
| oliver3 | I thought Dolphin wasn't going to be the file manager until KDE4? | 12:21 |
|---|
| pag | !dolphin | oliver3 | 12:21 |
|---|
| ubotu | oliver3: Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. | 12:21 |
|---|
| oliver3 | <_< | 12:21 |
|---|
| oliver3 | But why? xD | 12:22 |
|---|
| pag | kiiz, I'm not sure if default installation has them already... but it might be a good idea to download them just to be sure | 12:22 |
|---|
| llutz | oliver3: users wished | 12:22 |
|---|
| oliver3 | Fair enough. | 12:22 |
|---|
| oliver3 | I've just noticed, in Dolphin, on the right there is a little menu. | 12:22 |
|---|
| oliver3 | It's there twice. | 12:22 |
|---|
| oliver3 | O.o | 12:22 |
|---|
| === ^kaminix^ is now known as kaminix |
| oliver3 | I think I'll stick with Ubuntu as my main OS for now. | 12:24 |
|---|
| oliver3 | Can't be doing will silly bugs like that. >_> | 12:24 |
|---|
| * oliver3 sticks his nose up pompously. | 12:24 |
| oliver3 | :P | 12:24 |
|---|
| === desti_T2 is now known as desti |
| === Hirvinen_ is now known as Hirvinen |
| Linux_Galore | oliver3: dolphin is not finished and I was surprised they set it as the default, I just swap it back to konqueror | 12:33 |
|---|
| Linux_Galore | if you really want to have fun try getting a network scanner working in kubuntu, I gave up and wrote my own program | 12:35 |
|---|
| oliver3 | xD | 12:36 |
|---|
| oliver3 | Oh my :x | 12:37 |
|---|
| Migs-se | Okay, another question :) | 12:39 |
|---|
| Migs-se | what is the difference between Ati Radeon(fbdev) - Ati Radeon(fglrx) and Ati Radeon(vesa)? | 12:39 |
|---|
| Migs-se | I'm using a Ati Radeon 9250 AGP | 12:39 |
|---|
| Migs-se | there is one that simply says Ati Radeon though | 12:40 |
|---|
| ricanelite | okay, currently right now im using the Gnome desktop, Is it possible that I could have Gnome and Kubuntu because im curious in trying out the KDE Desktop. But I do NOT want to messup my Gnome desktop and its files. Is it possible? If so what is the best way I getting it installing and running? | 12:40 |
|---|
| pag | Migs-se, fbdec is an open ati driver iirc, vesa is generic driver and fglrx is closed-source ati driver. | 12:41 |
|---|
| oliver3 | Migs-se, fglrx is the official driver, but I think it's proprietary. vesa is a generic driver and fbdev I'm not sure about. | 12:42 |
|---|
| oliver3 | ricanelite, install kubuntu-desktop | 12:42 |
|---|
| pag | ricanelite, install kubuntu-desktop and use it with another user - it shouldn't affect your user settings at all that way (iirc it won't affect them even if you run with the same user, but if you want to be 120% sure..:) | 12:42 |
|---|
| Migs-se | hmmm, so which driver do you guys recommend I use? | 12:42 |
|---|
| Migs-se | or try each one until I get tv-out? heh | 12:43 |
|---|
| oliver3 | Migs-se, if fglrx wasn't proprietary I would recommend that. | 12:43 |
|---|
| oliver3 | But seeing as it is, I can't |
