| kub^ | BluesKaj are there any other clients for burning i can use ? | 00:04 |
| BluesKaj | k9copy | 00:04 |
| BluesKaj | or kiso | 00:05 |
| vzduch | burning what? | 00:05 |
| kub^ | thank you :) | 00:05 |
| kub^ | dvd isos | 00:05 |
| Daisuke_Ido | gnomebaker! | 00:06 |
| BluesKaj | kub^, you'll prolly have to DL those apps | 00:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | >_> | 00:06 |
| vzduch | if you have an ISO you can burn it w/ any burning program | 00:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | if k3b won't burn it, the others won't either | 00:06 |
| BluesKaj | his k3b is not doing the job | 00:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | they all use the same backend, i think | 00:06 |
| kub^ | my k3b freezes the pc requiring a hard reset even when i only look at the further actions menu with a blank dvd in | 00:07 |
| vzduch | if there is no limitation built into growisofs preventing you from burning DL DVDs, it shouldn't be a problem | 00:07 |
| BluesKaj | growisofs is the actual app that most use | 00:08 |
| kub^ | when k3b works thats what it uses yeah, maybe i should just use growisofs from the command line | 00:09 |
| === bsander is now known as bsander|gone |
| vzduch | does that same DVD recorder work in other OSes (e.g. Windoze)? | 00:10 |
| vzduch | probably a hardware problem if it freezes on popping in a blank DVD | 00:10 |
| kub^ | it seems to work 1 out of say 4 goes, kinda hoping it isnt hardware >.< i'll try another client first :) | 00:11 |
| vzduch | it might already help to just open the case and make sure that all cables are properly connected | 00:12 |
| kub^ | yeah good idea | 00:13 |
| BluesKaj | kub^, does nero or whatever client you use work in windows ? | 00:14 |
| kub^ | yeah with no problems | 00:14 |
| hitmanWilly | hmmm, might be an issue with automounting then | 00:15 |
| sub[t]rnl | automounting? his fstab? | 00:16 |
| hitmanWilly | or dbus/hal | 00:17 |
| sub[t]rnl | yeah I guess growisofs wont be able to burn a mounted DVD. | 00:17 |
| hitmanWilly | he said that it freezes when he just sticks the dvd in | 00:17 |
| sub[t]rnl | kub^: make sure noauto is in your fstab for you burning rom | 00:17 |
| kub^ | ok sec | 00:17 |
| kub^ | is that /etc/fstab coz i dont see a line noauto | 00:18 |
| kub^ | ? | 00:18 |
| sub[t]rnl | yeah | 00:18 |
| * BluesKaj studies growisofs man pages ...seems simple enuff ...the examples are clear | 00:18 |
| sub[t]rnl | still, theres a pitfall if his fstab is auto mounting the dvd's | 00:19 |
| sub[t]rnl | won't be able to burn | 00:19 |
| kub^ | when i pop a dvd in a window pops up asking me if i want to open it in k3b | 00:19 |
| hitmanWilly | just cancel that out | 00:20 |
| sub[t]rnl | kub^: show me the line in fstab for your dvdrom | 00:20 |
| hitmanWilly | assuming you want to use growisofs | 00:21 |
| sub[t]rnl | right | 00:21 |
| kub^ | apologies i missed it it does have no auto "/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0" | 00:21 |
| sub[t]rnl | noauto is in there | 00:21 |
| sub[t]rnl | then thats not the problem | 00:21 |

| K`zan | Should ksoftirqd/1 be taking up 15% of one cpu rather continuously ? | 01:58 |
| user_ | hi all. I installed Nero Linux, and everything went fine. However, when it scans for supported devices, it reports that it can't get access to /dev/sg0... how do I permanently allow access? Many thanks! | 01:58 |
| etfb | K`zan: 15% isn't that much, is it? | 01:59 |
| K`zan | out of 200% (both CPUs) no, not really, just never noticed it before. | 01:59 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: well, "sudo chmod a+w /dev/sg0" should do it. | 01:59 |
| K`zan | Nice thing about linux, you are always learning something new :-). | 01:59 |
| user_ | nosredaekim: i shall try. on the forums, people were saying edit this file, comment this or that, but i thought there would be a simpler answer :) | 02:00 |
| nosrednaekim | K`zan: thats the kernel interrupt I think.... | 02:00 |
| etfb | K`lan: often while dogpaddling frantically around a whirlpool... | 02:00 |
| K`zan | LOL, that is TOO TRUE LOL! | 02:00 |
| K`zan | Just converted back to kubuntu after a foray into fedora (ewwww!). | 02:01 |
| etfb | K`zan: what was it like? I last tried it when it was Red Hat, MANY years ago. | 02:01 |
| K`zan | This version (7.10) seems to like my USB devices :). | 02:01 |
| K`zan | Fedora is ****NOT*** our red hat of yesteryear :). | 02:01 |
| user_ | nosrednaekim: do i have to reboot for that change to take effect? i restarted nero, and got the same message :/ | 02:01 |
| K`zan | etfb: I upgraded it and broke a lot of things, I suppose I should have known better... Managed to kluge fixes to get it going but I just am NOT a fan of RPMs. | 02:02 |
| K`zan | Deb is the best :). | 02:02 |
| K`zan | Deb / deb derived is the best :). | 02:02 |
| etfb | K`zan: that's my experience too. | 02:02 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: nope,no need to restart | 02:03 |
| K`zan | Now if I can remember what my CUPS net work printer URL is, I'll be set :). | 02:03 |

| user_ | nosrednaekim: hmmm... that didn't work then. how do i load the sg module? | 02:05 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: the what? | 02:05 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: try running nero as root | 02:05 |
| user_ | k hang on | 02:06 |
| user_ | nosrednaekim: Ok _that_ works.... now i'm confused! | 02:07 |
| user_ | would chown dwflo:dwflo /dev/sg0 work? | 02:07 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: i'm not sure, but there is really no harm in running it as root, in fact its slightly better | 02:08 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as bmk789 |
| user_ | nosrednaekim: is there a way to do it automatically, or will i have to open a terminal and "sudo nero"? (not that it's a lot of work, but...) | 02:08 |
| bmk789 | what does a grub read error mean? it just started after i switched my motherboard | 02:09 |
| bmk789 | user_: you could create a shortcut to run "kdesu nero" | 02:09 |
| user_ | bmk789: how do i do that? | 02:09 |
| bmk789 | user_: right click your desktop and create new link to application | 02:10 |
| user_ | ok | 02:10 |
| user_ | i've done _that_ before | 02:10 |
| genii | bmk789: make sure hd is plugged into identical channel eg: primary or secondary if IDE also that head/sectors/cylinder mapping is same | 02:10 |
| bmk789 | genii: everythings plugged in the same | 02:11 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: make an icon whose command is "kdesudo nero" | 02:11 |
| user_ | ok | 02:11 |
| pastry | can someone please help me step by step on how to share a folder so that my windows pc can see it? i can see the shared folder from windows but its inaccessible. in the add/edit share window in kubuntu, all unspecified users is set to allow, and the only specified user is root, which has admin access rights. but i cannot access the folder from windows, though i do see it | 02:11 |
| genii | bmk789: Then likely bios maps the drive differently than the previous one did | 02:12 |
| etfb | user_: he meant kdesu nero, not kdesudo... | 02:12 |
| user_ | aha! "sudo chown username:username /dev/sg0" also works! | 02:12 |
| etfb | user_: sounds like a Japanese anime, doesn't it! | 02:12 |
| nosrednaekim | etfb: actually,I meant kdesudo | 02:12 |
| user_ | you guys are right, i'm sure! | 02:12 |
| bmk789 | genii: the /dev files are the same as before | 02:12 |
| user_ | aren't they the same? | 02:12 |
| etfb | nosrednaekim: really? Sorry! What's the difference? | 02:12 |
| genii | bmk789: /dev files have nothing to do with how bios sees the geometry of the drive | 02:13 |
| nosrednaekim | !kdesudo | etfb | 02:13 |
| ubotu | etfb: 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) | 02:13 |
| user_ | can i use them interchangably? | 02:13 |
| user_ | kdesu is definitely a faster type | 02:14 |
| etfb | nosrednaekim: foo! You learn something new every nanosecond round here. I'll have to go look up the history behind that. | 02:14 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: I think in gutsy, kdesu is juct linked to kdesudo | 02:14 |
| user_ | gotcha. i just learned something today (well, a couple things). Thanks guys | 02:14 |

| etfb | genii: ah well, in contrast I don't have time, so since I've finished my lunch break, I'd better go back to work... | 02:17 |
| user_ | i had this before, and i always got an "unmounting error" whenever i tried to eject the disc. How do i fix this one? | 02:17 |
| genii | etfb: Enjoy! ;) | 02:18 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: try "sudo eject /dev/sg0" | 02:18 |
| user_ | nosrednaekim: yes, that will eject the disc, but how do i stop two instances of mounting the disc in the first place? | 02:18 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: oh.. | 02:19 |
| user_ | in the windows that pop up, the disc is blue, and in the other window, the disc is golden... what the heck? | 02:19 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: ah... its cause you are running nero as root, so the root "user" tries to mount it as well | 02:19 |

| user_ | crush_groove: ok, but how do i stop the two separate instances of mounting? | 02:23 |
| crush_groove | take 1 of the cds out | 02:24 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: see, note one icon is different? | 02:25 |
| user_ | crush_groove: i only have one cd - only one drive | 02:25 |
| user_ | am i not understanding ?: | 02:25 |
| crush_groove | see the box at the bottome that says what do you want to do next time ? | 02:25 |
| user_ | the "configure" button? | 02:25 |
| nosrednaekim | crush_groove: umm I don't think you see whats going on here | 02:26 |
| crush_groove | gotcha mike | 02:26 |
| crush_groove | Ill back out | 02:26 |
| user_ | nosrednaekim: so do you know how to fix this? | 02:26 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: did you notice that the icons are different? | 02:26 |
| user_ | yes | 02:26 |
| user_ | when i first installed gutsy, this happened, but stopped when i removed Dolphin. But know i have no idea what to do | 02:27 |
| nosrednaekim | on if them is the default icon scheme for you, the other is the system default..... its a KDEsudo bug for sure, and I think the creator of kdesudo is already working on it | 02:28 |
| user_ | *now | 02:28 |
| user_ | so i just gotta wait, then, eh? | 02:28 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: basically, yes... but when one of those dialogs pop up, select the menu which has the "silvery" looking icon | 02:28 |
| user_ | what if i used the default icon scheme... then this problem wouldn't happen? | 02:29 |
| nosrednaekim | user_: it would, but you couldn't tell the dialogs apart, so you'd be worse off | 02:29 |
| user_ | ugh. | 02:29 |

| SavageOne | when I run rsync -t *.* linuxmce@192.168.80.1:/home/public/data/videos/ it's doing what I want in terms of pushing my local directory to that remote server, but it's ignoring the local subfolders and sub sub folders, only copying files on the root of that directory | 03:14 |
| SavageOne | what other switches to I need? | 03:14 |
| SavageOne | the man rsync isn't helping I've read it all | 03:14 |
| nosrednaekim | SavageOne: probably like -r or -R for recursive | 03:14 |

| yabadaba | neither knetworkmanager nor gnomenetworkmanager applets show available wireless networks but i can see them via system/admin/network/wireless applet. would anyone know why this might be happening? it sounds like either a permissions issue or like the applets aren't able to talk to the device in some other way ... anyone have suggestions for fixing this? | 03:19 |
| nosrednaekim | yabadaba: dbus issue. | 03:19 |

| crush_groove | SavageOne u usin 3.0? | 03:20 |
| jrsims | mico: but not sure of the maker | 03:20 |

| SavageOne | crush: yes | 03:20 |
| pastry | is there a better volume control program than kmix? or is kmix the best? i cant find an option anywhere so i can set my sound output to 4.0 | 03:21 |
| capricori | yabadaba: let me know if that fixes it, I had the same issue, couldn't find an answer | 03:21 |

| jhutchins | pastry: Your mixer selections are pretty much determined by the hardware. | 03:23 |
| jrsims | mico: do you know what is up with my last issue here? | 03:23 |
| jrsims | mico: not being able to adjust my monitor and display settings in Administrator mode? | 03:24 |
| jhutchins | All kmix or alsamixer do is provide a GUI to change the settings. | 03:24 |
| * jhutchins is not sure just what "set my sound output to 4.0" means, but suspects it's an output mode. | 03:25 |
| mico | jrsims: Well, no... I dont know jack shit about your system :) | 03:25 |
| jrsims | mico: it's saying "Possible reasons: An Error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module OR You have old third party modules lying around." This is stupid because this is a fresh install with updates applied. | 03:26 |
| jrsims | mico: know how I could reinstall the said modules? | 03:26 |
| nosrednaekim | jrsims: try running "kcmshell displayconfig" | 03:28 |
| mico | jrsims: something other than displaythings have gone seriously awry... | 03:28 |
| jrsims | nosrednaekim: ok, now what? | 03:29 |
| nosrednaekim | jrsims: did that work? | 03:29 |
| jrsims | nosrednaekim: got a window that said I needed to be in Admin mode to do anything. so I switched to that mode and got "The module Monitor & Display could not be loaded" | 03:30 |
| jrsims | so same story | 03:30 |
| nosrednaekim | jrsims: try "kdesudo kcmshell displayconfig" | 03:30 |
| jrsims | (kde seems really fragile) | 03:30 |
| jrsims | k | 03:30 |
| jrsims | nosrednaekim: same exact thing. | 03:31 |
| nosrednaekim | jrsims: yech. are you running XGL? | 03:32 |
| jrsims | no | 03:32 |
| mico | jrsims: kde is a bit "fragile"... But seems like something was missing in the install..... Checksummed the install-cd? | 03:32 |
| jrsims | should I reinstall KDE over apt? | 03:32 |
| nosrednaekim | jrsims: are you sure you're not? do you even have it installed? | 03:33 |
| jrsims | mico: no, I didn't checksum. After install, it was fine. Just now it isn't. | 03:33 |
| jrsims | nosrednaekim: absolutely positive. I did not install that. | 03:33 |
| mico | nosrednaekim: Could possibly missing/broken parts be fixed by reinstalling with apt? | 03:34 |
| nosrednaekim | jrsims: hmm k... | 03:34 |
| nosrednaekim | jrsims: is this a ubuntu install or a fresh kubuntu? | 03:34 |
| jrsims | nosrednaekim: it's a pretty fresh kubuntu with updates applied. | 03:34 |
| nosrednaekim | jrsims: humm. | 03:34 |
| jrsims | and like I said, I was able to get into this part of KDE before. Not now though. | 03:35 |
| mico | jrsims: did thing work BEFORE the update? | 03:35 |
| jrsims | yes | 03:35 |
| jrsims | The problem started when I went to use the dual display settings. | 03:35 |
| jrsims | then crapped out. | 03:35 |
| jrsims | I am just running on a thinkpad | 03:36 |
| jrsims | no weird hardware | 03:36 |
| jrsims | intel gma | 03:36 |
| mico | jrsims: All PC's are weird hardware... :) | 03:36 |
| nosrednaekim | odd, did that kcmshell spit out any errors to the konsole? | 03:36 |
| mico | jrsims: Did you "fiddle" with the system earlier?, before the upgrade? | 03:38 |
| jrsims | mico: installed some packages like irssi, nmap, etc. | 03:38 |
| jrsims | would reinstalling KDE help? or is there a way to revert to default video settings and start over? | 03:39 |
| mico | jrsims: me not know jack s*t | 03:40 |

| Voyage__ | ardchoille how do i know the pid of it | 04:25 |

| Neville | No, because it's not appearing in Kinfocentre | 04:32 |
| Neville | It says Swap Partition Not available | 04:32 |
| Neville | It's because I had to do a frankensteins monster of sorts to my hard drives, in order to keep alot of data that I can't replace anytime soon | 04:33 |

| adamonline45 | Dr_willis: Oh, hello again! I'm using KDE (kwin) and CF. The weird thing is, you'd think if I just closed them and restart my machine, they'd be back into the system tray. I'm starting to think it's just a setting somewhere, but I've scoured to no avail... | 05:22 |

| jessie | hello people | 05:35 |
| Saagar | Hi | 05:35 |
| Saagar | i need to know about multicasting, can anybody help | 05:36 |
| jessie | hey, does anybody know if kubuntu 7.10 with kde4 is going to have a diff kernel? | 05:37 |
| etfb | Saagar: it's a big topic. Can you narrow down your question a little? | 05:37 |
| etfb | jessie: AFAIK, you'll be able to upgrade to KDE4 when it arrives (January?) but it's independent of the kernel upgrades | 05:38 |
| Saagar | yes. Whenever I enable multicasting in my ip cam, my LAN gets congested | 05:38 |
| jessie | etfb, dang... when is the next kernel update going to be out/ | 05:38 |
| jessie | ? | 05:38 |
| Saagar | any guess etfb? | 05:38 |
| bazhang | jessie: hardy? | 05:39 |
| jessie | dang... | 05:39 |
| jessie | thats a while away... | 05:39 |
| jessie | back to compliing my own... | 05:39 |
| twylight | whenever linus says so | 05:39 |
| bazhang | not so, you can install it now :} | 05:39 |
| etfb | Saagar: it's well beyond my area of knowledge. What I'd suggest is rephrasing the question with a different focus. A lot of people are lurking here but only glancing this way occasionally. You may catch their eye with different keywords. | 05:39 |
| jessie | what? hardy? and i meant if there was going to be a kernel update for kubuntu | 05:40 |
| etfb | jessie: new kernels come down the line every couple of months at least. I got ?4 with feisty. | 05:40 |
| bazhang | for gutsy? | 05:40 |
| jessie | yeah | 05:40 |
| etfb | jessie: probably about due for a new one, actually | 05:40 |
| twylight | kubuntu = debian = linux = linus torvalds controls the kernel updates | 05:40 |
| bazhang | update or new kernel | 05:40 |
| jessie | my bad... im a bit tired.... and he does? like, update from 2.6.20-15-generic to .16? | 05:41 |
| bazhang | currently 2.6.22.14-generic | 05:41 |
| etfb | jessie: that sort of thing comes out when the gods of Ubuntu say. Won't be that long. Why do you want a new kernel? | 05:41 |
| twylight | dsfargeg | 05:41 |
| Saagar | I enabled the cam to the multicast address 239.244.180.39 . Does it multicast outside my LAN? | 05:42 |
| twylight | lol | 05:42 |
| jessie | cause... my gateway laptop wont even boot into the one that shipped with gutsy. so i have gutsy everything except the kernel, etfb | 05:42 |
| twylight | I love music | 05:42 |
| twylight | it makes my life less boring | 05:43 |
| Saagar | to my knowledge 239.x.x.x is within the network . right? | 05:43 |
| adamonline45 | it's not kubuntu = ubuntu = debian etc...? | 05:43 |
| twylight | 127.0.0.1 <3 | 05:43 |
| etfb | jessie: yikes! I guess the best thing to do is compile your own kernel. I'm told it's not hard (and it's a rite of passage for Linux g33ks) but I've never done it. | 05:43 |
| twylight | no, kubuntu is the same thing as ubuntu with a different UI | 05:43 |
| jessie | etfb: just did.... im just talking on msn to a girl i like and dont want to restart... lmao! | 05:44 |
| twylight | ubuntu is debian based or debian compatible, not like I care | 05:44 |
| adamonline45 | Oh, I thought they were distinct distros with their own developers, or what have you | 05:44 |
| twylight | I'm going to go smoke a cigarette | 05:44 |
| jessie | have fun twylight | 05:44 |
| twylight | then wander around aimlessly | 05:44 |
| jessie | lol... nice | 05:44 |
| twylight | take a few too many sleeping pills | 05:44 |
| twylight | and then pass out | 05:45 |
| jessie | haha wow... | 05:45 |
| twylight | seriously I'm wired | 05:45 |
| twylight | and it needs to stop | 05:45 |
| etfb | adamonline45: Debian is the parent distro, if you like. Ubuntu is a debian-based distro, but controlled by a company (Shuttleworth's company - starts with C, I'm drawing a blank here...) | 05:45 |
| twylight | so I'm going to take like two or six sleeping pills | 05:45 |
| jessie | k guys... time to restart | 05:45 |
| twylight | ;p | 05:45 |
| etfb | Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Ubuntu are all just Ubuntu with different windows managers (KDE, XFce and Gnome) | 05:45 |
| twylight | exactly | 05:46 |
| adamonline45 | gotcha | 05:46 |
| adamonline45 | what's edubuntu? | 05:46 |
| twylight | linux is frickin' old though | 05:46 |
| t3ch13 | I can't get my sound to work in Kubuntu anybody have any ideas where I can start? It's a laptop. | 05:46 |
| twylight | edubuntu is ubuntu for schools | 05:46 |
| twylight | install a sound card | 05:46 |
| adamonline45 | ahh, cool, ty | 05:46 |
| twylight | drivers | 05:46 |
| twylight | reinstall | 05:46 |
| etfb | adamonline45: I recommend Wikipedia for this level of question. Edubuntu is a set of packages rolled into a distro focused on use in schools | 05:46 |
| twylight | if all else fails | 05:46 |
| t3ch13 | It has a sound card that works fine in windows | 05:46 |
| twylight | pray to the sound card gods | 05:47 |
| twylight | offer them some transistors | 05:47 |
| Dr_willis | Edubuntu also has some neat features to get a whole lan of pc's net booting off a main server machine | 05:47 |
| twylight | if you really want to appease them, sacrifice a new soundblaster card | 05:47 |
| twylight | tandy cards will annoy them though | 05:48 |
| twylight | THIS IS WHY I SHOULD NOT STAY UP LATE | 05:48 |

| Ch1ppy | hey, I'm trying to play a game (nexuiz) but every so often X takes up 100% CPU usage for several seconds with no cause. It's even caused blank screens... Can anyone help me out? | 06:12 |
| Saagar | But My LAN bandwidth 100 Mbps | 06:12 |
| onishidato | Ch1ppy: how much ram do you have? | 06:12 |
| Ch1ppy | onishidato: 2 gigs, and I'm nowhere near that amount | 06:12 |
| Saagar | i enabled only 6 Mbps in the device | 06:12 |
| Saagar | would that clog my network? | 06:13 |
| oobe | Saagar, but you want use higher res ? | 06:13 |
| onishidato | Ch1ppy: wow | 06:13 |
| Ch1ppy | onishidato: :) | 06:13 |
| Saagar | yes | 06:13 |
| onishidato | Ch1ppy: and your VGA card? | 06:13 |
| Ch1ppy | onishidato: eVGA eGeForce 6800 GT | 06:13 |
| Saagar | I suspect it is streaming outside my LAN. | 06:13 |
| onishidato | Ch1ppy: maybe you should check your card, cause some cards doesn't support your game setting | 06:14 |
| Ch1ppy | onishidato: it handles the game really well (100+ FPS) except when X randomly spikes | 06:14 |
| Saagar | oobe: What do you think? | 06:14 |
| oobe | Saagar, yeah it could cause 100 Mbps is still only theoretical speed plus are you streaming to more than one person at once | 06:14 |
| Ch1ppy | onishidato: so I don't think it's related to the game settings or anything exceeding the capabilities of my box | 06:14 |
| onishidato | Ch1ppy: does it usually happen? | 06:15 |
| Saagar | Oobe: How can I limit streaming to a particular group? | 06:16 |
| Ch1ppy | onishidato: you mean the X spikes? I'm watching it now, and it doesn't seem to happen without nexuiz running, but I don't see it being an issue with nexuiz | 06:16 |
| Saagar | Say the ip address range 192.168.11.80 - 192.168.11.89 | 06:16 |
| Ch1ppy | onishidato: it does spike to ~4-7% cpu every now and then, but nowhere near the magnitude that I see while playing | 06:16 |
| oobe | Saagar, not sure | 06:16 |
| onishidato | Ch1ppy: i c | 06:17 |
| Saagar | okay oobe. Thank you anyway | 06:17 |
| oobe | Saagar, ur probably better limiting access to the ip cam | 06:17 |
| Ch1ppy | onishidato: yeah... I'm a little confused as to what might cause sudden, short spikes like that too though. I can't think of anything that would do that... :S | 06:17 |
| oobe | have u checked whats going on with netstat ? | 06:18 |

| onishidato | rohan: which one? | 06:19 |
| rohan | onishidato: acer_acpi | 06:19 |
| Ch1ppy | onishidato: hehe. I doubt it though, since I can see the X process spiking in CPU usage when the lag happens, not just nexuiz compensating or something (I actually had that issue with CS 1.6 on windows before though, dual core problems :) ) | 06:19 |
| Dr_willis | # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. | 06:19 |

| monzie | HI all | 06:27 |
| monzie | I am trying to setup a dedicated partition for builds | 06:27 |
| monzie | Should i user ResierFS instead of ext3? | 06:27 |
| oobe | Mani213, my computer was retarted once | 06:28 |
| phil_hardcore | no use ext3 | 06:28 |
| Dr_willis | I see no reason to use reiserfs over ext3. | 06:28 |
| Mani213 | ye like it was configuring after installing linux | 06:28 |
| monzie | Dr_willis: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=4#doc_chap4 | 06:28 |
| Dr_willis | Unless you got some very speficic idea/needs as to why you need reiser. | 06:28 |
| Dr_willis | monzie, just because gentoo suggests it . doesnt make it a good idea. :) | 06:28 |
| monzie | The gentoo handbook says reiser is faster than ext3 | 06:28 |
| phil_hardcore | anyone using enlightenment? | 06:28 |
| Dr_willis | monzie, ive heard its faster at SOME operations. | 06:28 |
| monzie | Dr_willis: But i could not get ubuntu's position on filesystems, so aksed | 06:28 |
| monzie | Dr_willis: for builds? | 06:29 |
| monzie | Dr_willis: essentiallly i want to build KDE4 on the partition | 06:29 |
| Dr_willis | phil_hardcore, been using the gos and Geubuntu desktops a little. :) | 06:29 |
| Mani213 | how do i install it manualy when the drives are there but it doesnt let me | 06:29 |
| Mani213 | do i check the home drive or the swap driveÉ | 06:29 |
| phil_hardcore | psh | 06:29 |
| oobe | Mani213, did u try using the alternate install | 06:30 |
| Dr_willis | monzie, i aint touching KDE4 for some time. :) heh heh . I dont think you would gain much by using reiserfs on the build filesystem. but try it both ways and see I guess. | 06:30 |
| Mani213 | what do you mean alternate installÉ | 06:30 |
| monzie | Dr_willis: ok. i like building kde4. | 06:30 |
| phil_hardcore | i would just wait on kde 4 until the stable comes out | 06:30 |
| monzie | Dr_willis: Thought my laptop would maybe able to build it faster if i used reiserfs | 06:31 |
| Dr_willis | laptop hd's are often so slow.. its.. well.. sad. :( | 06:31 |
| oobe | Mani213, there is a alternate install disk that doesnt use a DE it is all command like a Debian installer and it is much more versatile | 06:31 |
| Dr_willis | My poor laptop has a 4800 rpm hd. :( | 06:31 |
| Dr_willis | distcc an a lan of helper machines may help more. :) | 06:31 |
| Mani213 | okay well is there any way of resuming the installationÉ | 06:31 |
| oobe | u are better off starting again | 06:32 |
| oobe | was it a fresh install | 06:32 |
| Mani213 | so if the drive is already created from preivous installtion would i just format the ext3 driveÉ | 06:32 |
| Mani213 | or the swap drive toÉ | 06:32 |

| oobe | Mani213, you can use cfdisk to delete the unwanted partitions and make a new one with the combined space | 06:42 |
| Dr_willis | theres various dock/panel replacements for kde.. but a lot of them are rather.. lacking :) | 06:42 |

| Dr_willis | swap partition is where the linux swaps out to have extra memory. | 06:45 |
| Dr_willis | better then a swap file. :) | 06:45 |
| Dr_willis | Of course if you got a lot of ram. you really dont need one i hear.. but i always put at least 512mb swap partion on all my hd's | 06:45 |
| Mani213 | oh okay okay | 06:46 |
| Mani213 | ye cause i was wondering whats the point of 2 hard drives | 06:46 |
| Dr_willis | 2 PARTITIONS is NOT the same as 2 hard drives... | 06:46 |
| Dr_willis | Dont get the 2 terms confused. :)( | 06:46 |
| Mani213 | would the swap file be readable if you operate windows É | 06:47 |

| Mani213 | at the configuring apt | 06:49 |
| Dr_willis | windows will not use the linux swap partition, or a linux swap file. :) | 06:49 |
| Dr_willis | Linux can have swap FILES, and/or swap partitions also. :) and yes you can have one of each. or several of each. | 06:49 |
| onishidato | i use both window and Kubuntu on my computer. i use 2 HD, 1 for WinXp, and one for Kubuntu, now, i'm using Kubuntu, but i want to check the other hardisk from kubuntu, how can i do now. | 06:49 |
| Dr_willis | Normal Linux HD layout. 1 drive.. Parittion 1 (as big as ya can get ) mounted to /. then a swap partition. i make mine 512mb+ | 06:50 |
| Dr_willis | onishidato, check? you want to scan the ntfs filesystem for errors? | 06:50 |
| onishidato | no | 06:50 |
| Dr_willis | define 'check' then. :) | 06:50 |
| onishidato | i want to get the data from windowxp | 06:50 |
| Dr_willis | You mean Mount the windows filesystem :) | 06:51 |

| Dr_willis | Mani213, you dont normally install programs in such a way | 06:54 |
| Dr_willis | The package manager tools allow you to install/remove/update programs in a rather easy way. | 06:54 |

| sub[t]rnl | Greetings | 07:42 |
| Sulo_Seppa | I just got a new laptop yesterday, it is a HP Pavilion dv9628nr, And I just burned a kubuntu 7.10 x86_64 iso, will kubuntu work properly or is it useless for me to try the install? (I don't want it to screw vista up, I use it for some things) | 07:43 |
| lhadji | Sulo_Seppa, you can run it off the cdrom and see how it runs :D | 07:45 |
| === Agrajag` is now known as Agrajag |
| Sulo_Seppa | Well I was also wondering if it works wireless or if you still have to set all that crap up? | 07:46 |
| praveenm | hi, is there any way to transfer files using ANY im client to gtalk on winxp | 07:46 |
| ardchoille | Sulo_Seppa: Is that laptop 64bit? | 07:47 |
| Sulo_Seppa | yes | 07:47 |
| ardchoille | ok | 07:47 |
| lhadji | Sulo_Seppa, it wont hurt to put the cd into the laptop and load it up. Anything you do wont affect your hard drive until you install it. Who knows, maybe wireless will work on boot :D | 07:47 |
| olbj | quit | 07:48 |
| Sulo_Seppa | Oh I wish. but I've grown accustom to having to grab one of my dusty cat5's and downloading some windows driver and doing that fun process | 07:48 |
| AshyIsMe | hello | 07:48 |
| sub[t]rnl | I run vista + 64bit kubuntu on another computer just fine. I would recommend using the vista partition resizing utility though, as I've came across errors when using anything else, like partition magic and such | 07:48 |
| AshyIsMe | does the iso from this link http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php allow you to install kubuntu? | 07:48 |
| AshyIsMe | or is it just a bootable livecd without the hdd install script? | 07:48 |
| sub[t]rnl | Sulo_Seppa: soon you will see the light though, and find that the vista partition is just taking up space :p | 07:49 |
| Sulo_Seppa | Well, I normally just use linux only, but there are some nice things about this. I may get rid of it if I get full functionality in linux (which I doubt) | 07:50 |
| Sulo_Seppa | So use vista resize? | 07:50 |
| sub[t]rnl | yup | 07:50 |
| lhadji | Sulo_Seppa have you run kubuntu live off the cd on the laptop before? | 07:50 |
| ubuntu | i tried fixing grub but doesnt seem to be working | 07:50 |
| sub[t]rnl | vista doesn't like anything else touching the drives, go figure | 07:50 |
| Sulo_Seppa | nah, I just got done burning the iso | 07:50 |
| Sulo_Seppa | the dvd iso | 07:51 |
| yurimxpxman_ | is there a command (other than ls) to display the size of a file? | 07:51 |

| ibilic | I don't get this thing... I install Kubuntu on my computer, and I just try to update everything using Adept... and it crashes... how lame is that? | 07:53 |
| ibilic | and then I want my USB drive to work... and I have to look up on the forums how to deal with the bug | 07:53 |
| ubuntu | is there any way of fixing grub while on linux | 07:53 |
| lhadji | Sulo_Seppa, cool. Let us know if kubuntu found all your drivers when you ran it live from the cd on your laptop :) | 07:53 |
| ibilic | and then the K-meny thing... again... looking up on the internet how to fix it | 07:53 |
| Sulo_Seppa | Okay, well partition will be easy since I have 2 HDDs (one has nothing on it yet, both 120GB), but will kubuntu set up grub right for vista? I've done dual-boot with xp, I don't know if vista is too much different. | 07:53 |
| ibilic | nothing seems to work the easy way! | 07:53 |
| sub[t]rnl | ubuntu: get into the grub shell via -> sudo grub | 07:53 |
| ubuntu | how do i do that? | 07:54 |
| ibilic | but I won't give up :) | 07:54 |

| ardchoille | !grub | 08:12 |
| ubuntu | let me try this | 08:12 |
| ubotu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 08:12 |
| ubuntu | ill be back if it doesnt work be ready | 08:12 |
| ubuntu | lol | 08:12 |
| ardchoille | sub[t]rnl: You seem to be really good with the grub shell. Perhaps when you have time, you could take a look at the !grub tutorial and enhance it if possible. | 08:13 |
| PJC121 | sub[t]rnl: will those instructions make grub 'find' a vista OS on a seperate hard drive. Ie I installed kubuntu a while back but grub didn't pick up the vista installation | 08:13 |
| sub[t]rnl | ardchoille: yes sir | 08:13 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | how do i start ubuntu from windows boot menu ? | 08:13 |
| johann787 | Hi, does anyone know what the default root password is after install, unable to do a sudo command | 08:14 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | isnt there any automatic way ? | 08:14 |
| johann787 | no | 08:14 |
| ardchoille | johann787: There is no root pass, sudo uses your user passwd | 08:14 |
| jussi01 | !root | johann787 | 08:15 |
| ubotu | johann787: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 08:15 |
| sub[t]rnl | PJC121: using that method will only repair grub on a harddrive that has its installation files | 08:15 |
| johann787 | I tries to use sudo but my username which I entered in the beginning is not in the sudo list | 08:15 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | can i had an sudusless user ? | 08:15 |
| PJC121 | ah, I see, thank you | 08:15 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | johann787: its better to be on de safe side | 08:16 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | sudu = root acess no mater what ubuntu devs claim | 08:16 |
| johann787 | I see , so mabye i have to reinstall in advenced mode, is there a way to choose the root password there , or is there a way to unlock the root account ? | 08:17 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | unlocking the root acount is easy | 08:17 |
| ardchoille | johann787: You won't be using or setting up a root password in any ubuntu install, sudo is used, the root account is locked. | 08:18 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | ive done it before | 08:18 |
| ardchoille | INFOEXCLUDED: That info is not recommended and not supported here | 08:18 |
| ibilic | is there a "Klite Codec pack" equivalent in linux? | 08:18 |
| Proteus | How stable is kde4 rc2? I'm thinking about trying it out | 08:18 |
| johann787 | ok , I realy need to use the root account rather than sudo , I dont like that ;) | 08:18 |
| sub[t]rnl | INFOEXCLUDED: the whole point of sudo is to make a root password or account not needed, greatly increasing your box's security | 08:18 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | how can that increase security ? | 08:19 |
| ibilic | also, something that will let me browse all those websites requireing special plugins like youtube | 08:19 |
| ardchoille | johann787: The recommended and supported method is to use sudo, it can do anything root can do. | 08:19 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | havin an root acount with out password | 08:19 |
| sub[t]rnl | INFOEXCLUDED: no root account, no root password | 08:19 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | sudo = root acount with out password | 08:19 |
| ardchoille | INFOEXCLUDED: How do you brute force a locked root account? | 08:19 |
| johann787 | If I try to use the sudo command the OS says that I´m not in the sudoers list. Am I locked out of the OS ? | 08:19 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | can linux run with out root acount ? | 08:20 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | never eard about it | 08:20 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | isnt root acount there ? | 08:20 |
| ardchoille | Ubuntu has a root account, it's simply locked and we use sudo for admin tasks | 08:20 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | sudo = root acount with out password | 08:20 |
| ardchoille | !sudo | INFOEXCLUDED Lots of good info here: | 08:21 |
| johann787 | Mabye because my name has a special characters that the OS might not support ? | 08:21 |
| beroual | hi | 08:21 |
| beroual | xubunu ? | 08:21 |

| atwo1 | ok so | 08:22 |
| atwo1 | round 2 | 08:22 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | i think sudo is a pain | 08:22 |
| johann787 | already read it but thr sudo does not work, the user I used during installation is not in the sudoers list | 08:22 |
| INFOEXCLUDED | you need to type sudo every new command | 08:22 |
| atwo1 | not always | 08:22 |
| atwo1 | just do your commands from root | 08:22 |
| atwo1 | sudo into terminal | 08:22 |
| johann787 | I cant Im not in the sudoers list | 08:23 |
| atwo1 | ardchoille: hi | 08:23 |

| INFOEXCLUDED | how can you ssh to ubuntu ? | 08:25 |
| johann787 | Ok Ill try | 08:25 |
| atwo1 | !ssh | 08:25 |
| ubotu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 08:25 |

| sub[t]rnl | tuxwulf_: heh, you can set a static ip with ifconfig, but when you restart the network, it will not hold. Adding the ip's to your interface file will keep. No, you can't do it on the fly | 09:06 |
| tuxwulf_ | My eth0 gets an IP by DHCP. But, I want to hang my computer directly in the internet with one of my fixed addresses, just for a moment. So I use ifconfig to reconfigure the eth0. But the moment I plug in the public cable, my eth0 is downed, and the settings deleted. | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | atwo1, ok then boot to your live cd, mount your drive and copy back your original xorg.conf | 09:06 |

| llutz | tuxwulf_: you need to stop networkmanager handling your device | 09:07 |

| sigma_ | but it reports a modeline error whenever i try switching to the tv | 09:17 |
| atwo1 | someone tell me if i have kubuntu installed on the pc, and i boot from the cd how do i copy the x.org from the cd to the hdd of the computer it's loaded on? | 09:19 |

| tuxwulf_ | How do I make K3b use a blank DVD to burn a CD image? | 09:20 |

| spitfire | it says no directory found | 09:21 |

| etfb | I hope this isn't so stupid that I'm appointed Idiot of the Week, but... I uninstalled knetworkmanager. Now I can't reinstall because (surprise, surprise) I don't have a network connection. Can anyone suggest a solution that doesn't involve reinstalling? | 09:25 |
| spitfire | vzduch: even with that its not working | 09:27 |

| spitfire | sudo cp ./home/spitfire/desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins | 09:28 |
| etfb | atwol: don't quite understand. Is x.org a file on your CD, or do you mean the entire xorg (ie XWindows) system? | 09:28 |
| vzduch | the dot before '/home' is wrong | 09:28 |
| spitfire | vzduch: /home/spitfire/desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux/libflashplayer.so': No such file or directory | 09:29 |
| johann787 | what is the baest way to upgrade ubuntu or install new packges, is it with the awget command ? | 09:29 |
| ardchoille | spitfire: Desktop, not desktop | 09:29 |
| etfb | johann787: definitely with apt-get, or its GUI equivalent aptitude. | 09:30 |
| johann787 | ok thanks | 09:30 |
| ardchoille | spitfire: And, fwiw, mine is at: /usr/lib/flashplugin-nonfree/libflashplayer.so | 09:30 |
| ardchoille | spitfire: But I installed from the repos | 09:30 |
| etfb | johann787: also check out the Add and Remove Programs option in your menu | 09:30 |
| spitfire | PRAISE THE LORD ... finally all because of the capital D | 09:31 |
| spitfire | thank guys | 09:31 |
| etfb | spitfire: unix is case sensitive, because it makes it easier to cause people pain. (Come on, you know that's the only explanation that fits the facts.) | 09:31 |
| johann787 | how about CPAN is it configured or do I have to configure something ? | 09:31 |
| atwo1 | if i have kubuntu installed on the pc, and i boot from the cd how do i copy the x.org from the cd to the hdd of the computer it's loaded on? | 09:31 |
| atwo1 | i mean that | 09:31 |
| atwo1 | whatever that main file is | 09:31 |
| atwo1 | i changed some settnig and i want to just replace whatever the main file is on the hdd as whats on the cd | 09:32 |
| atwo1 | its a fresh install | 09:32 |
| atwo1 | and the graphics driver getting enabled in 'restricted drivers' kills it | 09:32 |
| atwo1 | so it doesnt even recognise the screen is there | 09:32 |
| etfb | atwo1: gotcha! I suggest booting to a text login (Alt+F1 will let you do that if you're not there already) and then use the dpkg-reconfigure command. Let me check the syntax... | 09:33 |
| atwo1 | it was a fresh install, all i did was what the thing suggests | 09:33 |
| atwo1 | !nvidia | 09:33 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 09:33 |
| atwo1 | and enable the nvidia thing in restricted drivers | 09:33 |
| atwo1 | but it kills eveyrthing | 09:34 |
| === nunom_ is now known as nunom__ |
| === nunom__ is now known as nfma |
| etfb | atwo1: I don't trust those restricted drivers. I think they're the reason I don't have wifi any more... | 09:34 |
| atwo1 | well whatever it was it totally fkd my system | 09:34 |
| === nfma is now known as nunom |
| etfb | johann787: not sure about CPAN. IF you have Perl installed, presumably it includes packages for handling CPAN. Check the FAQs on their website. | 09:35 |
| atwo1 | but i can't get the native res to work without a big 200px blank spot on the left side | 09:35 |
| atwo1 | squishing the screen over | 09:35 |
| atwo1 | look im ready to just reinstall the whole OS atm | 09:35 |
| atwo1 | for the 2nd time thnis afternoon | 09:35 |
| etfb | google for "xorg.conf" and the numbers of your resolution, eg 1280 800 or whatever | 09:35 |
| etfb | That's how I fixed that problem. | 09:35 |
| etfb | Don't recall the details now, but... there is no god but Google! | 09:36 |
| atwo1 | anyway | 09:36 |
| atwo1 | how do i reinstall x.org | 09:36 |
| atwo1 | or whatever | 09:36 |
| atwo1 | someone said mount the drive | 09:36 |
| atwo1 | and copy it from the disc to it | 09:36 |
| atwo1 | or something | 09:36 |
| atwo1 | im totally noob i just got gutsy this week | 09:36 |
| atwo1 | and have never used linux before | 09:36 |
| etfb | atwo1: the CD should automount in Ubuntu, so ignore that advice. I'm checking the reconfig syntax now... | 09:36 |
| etfb | atwo1: try doing this from a konsole: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 09:38 |
| atwo1 | but its loaded on the disc at the moment | 09:38 |
| etfb | Choose the defaults, except for the driver that stuffed up (pick vesa instead for that, perhaps) | 09:38 |
| atwo1 | but its loaded on the disc at the moment i can't get onto the hdd its installed on | 09:39 |
| etfb | atwo1: ??? I'm exhausted after a long week and really not following you. Can you rephrase that for my tired brain? | 09:39 |
| Sulo_Seppa | Well, that's nice. First off, the live dvd didn't work for graphics unless I put noapic and other stuff, and second, it didn't have the wireless drivers.. I thought that kinda stuff was added in 7.10. How am I expected to connect to the internet if I need to download the drivers from the internet? | 09:39 |
| atwo1 | ok the story is....... | 09:40 |
| etfb | Sulo_Seppa: I sympathise; I'm having hell with wifi drivers too. Mind you, it's mostly self-inflicted in my case... | 09:40 |
| atwo1 | i installed kubuntu, the res is completely rooted in native. it's meant to be 1440x900 but using that forces the left edge of the screen inwards horizontally by about 200px. i enter the restricted drivers and turn on the nvidia detection and on restart it screws everything | 09:40 |
| atwo1 | im abuot to reinstall | 09:40 |
| Sulo_Seppa | etfb: how so? | 09:42 |
| etfb | atwo1: what happens if you press Ctrl+Alt+F1? (press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to the X window if necessary) | 09:42 |
| atwo1 | from what | 09:42 |
| atwo1 | when i restart the screen comes to a blank black screen | 09:42 |
| atwo1 | but i can type in text | 09:42 |
| atwo1 | that does nothing | 09:42 |
| Sulo_Seppa | And I can get wifi working pretty easily, so why the _hell_ is it not included in ubuntu? | 09:42 |
| etfb | Sulo_Seppa: I uninstalled knetworkmanager and can't get it back. Wifi is included, but your installation may have stuffed up. | 09:43 |
| etfb | atwo1: just try it from there. Either it does something or it doesn't. | 09:43 |
| atwo1 | oi | 09:43 |
| atwo1 | that screen u told me to go to | 09:43 |
| atwo1 | the ctrl alt f1 | 09:43 |
| atwo1 | thats what the screen looks like when i reboot after the above changes | 09:43 |
| atwo1 | can i use a shortcut there to make somethnig happen | 09:44 |
| etfb | Press enter and see if you get a login prompt | 09:44 |
| Sulo_Seppa | What? No, I need the drivers, I mean why the hell doesn't ubuntu come with wireless drivers? | 09:44 |
| atwo1 | wait | 09:44 |
| atwo1 | im restarting | 09:44 |
| etfb | Sulo_Seppa: what hardware are you on (brand, model, wireless card, etc) | 09:45 |
| atwo1 | i restatr and it gets to this blank screen | 09:45 |
| atwo1 | with no prompt | 09:45 |
| etfb | atwo1: try Ctrl+Alt+F2 and tell me what you see | 09:45 |
| Sulo_Seppa | HP Pavilion dv9628nr Broadcom | 09:45 |
| atwo1 | OH MY FKING GOD | 09:45 |
| atwo1 | A LOGIN | 09:45 |
| etfb | Sulo_Seppa: googling now... please wait... | 09:45 |
| atwo1 | IM LOGGED IN OMFG | 09:46 |
| atwo1 | so thats what that useless screen is for | 09:46 |
| Sulo_Seppa | etfb: I know how to set it up | 09:46 |
| atwo1 | jwasuas | 09:46 |
| atwo1 | etfb: u just saved me so much | 09:46 |
| etfb | atwo1: Aha! Thank Google! Now do the dpkg thingy. | 09:46 |
| atwo1 | now how do i make crapbuntu work | 09:46 |
| atwo1 | load the kde | 09:46 |
| atwo1 | and main everything | 09:46 |
| Sulo_Seppa | etfb: It's just insane, because most wireless cards in laptops that I've seen are brodcom and intel (which is supported, obviously). | 09:47 |
| atwo1 | what do i type to load the KDE | 09:47 |
| Sulo_Seppa | startx | 09:47 |
| atwo1 | i did that | 09:48 |
| Sulo_Seppa | atwo1: what is your problem though? | 09:48 |
| atwo1 | it said | 09:48 |
| atwo1 | XIO | 09:48 |
| atwo1 | fatal IO error 104 | 09:48 |
| === is is now known as Is_ |
| atwo1 | connection reset by peer on X server ":0.0" | 09:48 |
| Sulo_Seppa | Heh, you screwed up x? | 09:48 |
| etfb | atwo1: do the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command and go through the resetting of the windows system. It _should_ fix all your problems. | 09:48 |
| atwo1 | all i did | 09:48 |
| atwo1 | i installed kubuntu, the res is completely rooted in native. it's meant to be 1440x900 but using that forces the left edge of the screen inwards horizontally by about 200px. i enter the restricted drivers and turn on the nvidia detection and on restart it screws everything | 09:48 |
| atwo1 | then | 09:48 |
| atwo1 | i get this blank screen | 09:48 |
| atwo1 | i ctrl alt f2 | 09:48 |
| atwo1 | and login | 09:48 |
| atwo1 | type startx | 09:48 |
| atwo1 | and get what i just said | 09:48 |
| Sulo_Seppa | oh | 09:49 |
| Sulo_Seppa | okay | 09:49 |
| Sulo_Seppa | well do you know how to use vim? | 09:49 |
| atwo1 | i dont know anything i've had a linux system for 2 days | 09:49 |
| atwo1 | and its given me shit the whole time | 09:49 |
| Sulo_Seppa | okay then use nano | 09:49 |
| atwo1 | use what | 09:49 |
| Sulo_Seppa | let me try and explain.. | 09:49 |
| atwo1 | im in some black screen | 09:49 |
| atwo1 | how do i get to desktop | 09:49 |
| Sulo_Seppa | okay, in the terminal type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 09:49 |
| atwo1 | now what | 09:50 |
| Sulo_Seppa | Go down do where you see something like Device "nVidia" and change it to nv | 09:50 |
| atwo1 | it says | 09:50 |
| llutz | Sulo_Seppa: "Driver" "nvidia" not Device | 09:50 |
| atwo1 | Device 'nvidia coporation nv24 [ngeforece fx 5500] | 09:50 |
| atwo1 | which is my card | 09:50 |
| etfb | (I'll leave you two to it, since you're probably on the way now. I'm popping over to #ubuntu to see if anyone there can help me...) | 09:51 |
| Sulo_Seppa | okay | 09:51 |
| atwo1 | under what part is that | 09:51 |
| Sulo_Seppa | 1sec | 09:51 |
| llutz | Section "Device" | 09:52 |
| llutz | "Driver" "nvidia" | 09:52 |
| llutz | change into "Driver" "nv" | 09:52 |
| Sulo_Seppa | yeah | 09:52 |
| atwo1 | how do i save it | 09:52 |
| Sulo_Seppa | alt-x to exit then it asks to save I think | 09:53 |
| atwo1 | no that made help mode disabled | 09:53 |
| Sulo_Seppa | ctrl-x | 09:53 |
| atwo1 | ok | 09:53 |
| atwo1 | saved | 09:53 |
| atwo1 | and i typed startx | 09:53 |
| vbgunz | when partitioning a disk, isn't there a way to say *not* to automatically allocate 6% of the drive or something? I just formatted a 80GB hard disk, I got 75 out of it. with kubuntu insisting on taking 6% of space, I now only have 71GB of space... anyone know how to resize that 6%? | 09:53 |
| atwo1 | it's not 6% | 09:53 |
| atwo1 | finally, desktop is loaded | 09:54 |
| vbgunz | my system backup is 73GB, I cannot trim it anymore :( | 09:54 |
| StevenR | vbgunz: 80GB? 80GiB ? | 09:54 |
| Sulo_Seppa | You want to remove the tables? good luck with that lol | 09:54 |
| waltercool_eee | exist a method for know the cpu temp?? | 09:54 |
| sub[t]rnl | /quit | 09:54 |

| Sulo_Seppa | acpi -P | 09:55 |
| atwo1 | ok | 09:55 |
| atwo1 | Sulo_Seppa: now my res is screwed how can i fix it without that restricted driver | 09:55 |
| llutz | vbgunz: ext3? use tune2fs | 09:55 |
| waltercool_eee | StevenR: but i /proc? | 09:55 |
| Sulo_Seppa | Without the driver? I dunno | 09:55 |
| atwo1 | how can i force 1440x900 cover the whole scvreen instead of squishing the left side inwards by 200px | 09:55 |
| waltercool_eee | in | 09:56 |
| vbgunz | StevenR: it's pitched as an 80GB hard drive, looking at the label, it says 82.3GB. after formatting, the total size is 75GB, Kubuntu is taking up 6% and its leaving me with 71GB. my backup is 73GB :( | 09:56 |
| Sulo_Seppa | waltercool_eee: acpi -P | 09:56 |
| Sulo_Seppa | atwo1: Well.. | 09:56 |
| atwo1 | its in native res now | 09:57 |
| atwo1 | but the left is shoved over | 09:57 |
| waltercool_eee | Sulo_Seppa: Wow... thanks!! :P | 09:57 |
| Sulo_Seppa | atwo1: if you really want to, then edit that xorg.conf file again and add the resolution you want with all of the other ones. it should be pretty obvious, but make sure to back it up | 09:57 |
| llutz | vbgunz: man tune2fs (-m) | 09:57 |
| atwo1 | its in the native res, it pushes the left side over for some reason | 09:57 |
| atwo1 | its covernig 15% of the screen as a thicxk vertical black strip | 09:57 |
| Sulo_Seppa | Oh | 09:57 |
| atwo1 | oi | 09:58 |
| atwo1 | ok | 09:58 |
| atwo1 | i typed | 09:58 |
| atwo1 | alt ctrl backspc | 09:58 |
| atwo1 | it does | 09:58 |
| Sulo_Seppa | Heh | 09:58 |
| atwo1 | xinit: connection to x server lost | 09:58 |
| atwo1 | then a prompt | 09:58 |
| atwo1 | then i have to type startx | 09:58 |
| atwo1 | man im reinstalling | 09:58 |
| Sulo_Seppa | ctrl+alt+backspace logs you out | 09:58 |
| atwo1 | and just not using that shit restricted thing | 09:58 |
| atwo1 | it jstu kills it | 09:59 |
| vbgunz | llutz: without a walkthrough, that man will take me quite a while to understand :( do you know of a walkthrough using tune2fs that addresses the 6% issue? | 09:59 |
| StevenR | vbgunz: what is this 6% ? | 09:59 |
| vbgunz | I found one once, I never thought I would need it. now I want to take a backup off site and am 2GB greater than the target :( | 09:59 |
| llutz | vbgunz: set it to 2%: sudo tune2fs -m 2 /dev/sdXY | 09:59 |
| vbgunz | llutz: I'll try | 10:00 |
| vbgunz | let me check man on -m | 10:00 |
| Sulo_Seppa | atwo1: reinstalling ubuntu? | 10:01 |

| Sulo_Seppa | atwo1: if you want you can go with arch :p | 10:01 |
| atwo1 | all i do is tick 1 box and it doesn't even load | 10:01 |
| llutz | vbgunz: they may have used a different value when creating the fs | 10:01 |
| atwo1 | it can't even snap the res to the size of the monitor | 10:01 |
| atwo1 | why am i even bothering with it | 10:01 |
| atwo1 | stressing and trying to figure it out when it can't even work out what res to use correctly when it's already turned on | 10:02 |

| dansko | Hi | 11:47 |
| dansko | can someone help me? | 11:47 |
| luke_ | with what? | 11:47 |
| dansko | i got a problem | 11:47 |
| dansko | i used opensuse first | 11:47 |
| Tw|sT | Atleast it's just firefox running slow, and not a distribution upgrade gone wrong... A few weeks ago, I came in from work exhausted, not thinking, and ran the Kubuntu Dist. upgrade via synaptic... it worked... at first... but 1/3 way thru the upgrade, it bricked! I ended up having to backup everything I could via tarballing the directories, and had to reinstall... so I upgraded that way instead | 11:47 |
| dansko | but i tried kubuntu now | 11:47 |
| dansko | but the problem is, theres a lot diffrent from opensuse | 11:48 |
| dansko | i want to install programs like compiz fusion and the themes and stuff | 11:48 |
| luke_ | right | 11:48 |
| dansko | but i can only install compiz manager | 11:48 |
| luke_ | you use apt | 11:48 |
| luke_ | or adept manager | 11:48 |
| dansko | ye i tried | 11:48 |
| dansko | but theres a lot less software then opensuse | 11:48 |
| Tw|sT | have you installed synaptic | 11:48 |
| dansko | or can i add repositories? | 11:48 |
| luke_ | yes you can | 11:48 |
| luke_ | sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list | 11:49 |
| Tw|sT | 'sudo apt-get install synaptic' | 11:49 |
| luke_ | add repos to that | 11:49 |
| dansko | oke where can i find a list with all repositories? | 11:49 |
| luke_ | I don't think there is one :) | 11:49 |
| luke_ | there is one for Compiz Fusion | 11:49 |
| dansko | lolz, where i find the repos then? | 11:49 |
| dansko | yes but i want community repos | 11:49 |
| dansko | with lots of craps :P | 11:49 |
| Tw|sT | search google: Kubuntu Apt repos | 11:49 |
| dansko | oki | 11:50 |
| dansko | ty | 11:50 |
| Tw|sT | ;) | 11:50 |
| Tw|sT | np | 11:50 |
| luke_ | and enable universe and multiverse repos in sources.list | 11:50 |
| Tw|sT | absolutely | 11:50 |
| dansko | sorry, im not familiar with text mode and console | 11:51 |
| dansko | u just used windowmanager | 11:51 |
| Tw|sT | you'd like synaptic, alot , I think. it's totally graphical | 11:51 |
| luke_ | That's Gnome isn't it? | 11:51 |
| dansko | i dont know, i just use kde | 11:51 |
| luke_ | use Adept Manager | 11:51 |
| Tw|sT | it works regardless | 11:51 |
| luke_ | :) | 11:51 |
| dansko | can i ask you something | 11:52 |
| luke_ | I don't like Gnome | 11:52 |
| luke_ | yes | 11:52 |
| dansko | me neither | 11:52 |
| Tw|sT | I don't either | 11:52 |
| Tw|sT | sure | 11:52 |
| dansko | is kubuntu really the most popular distro? | 11:52 |
| dansko | and user friendly? | 11:52 |
| luke_ | yes | 11:52 |
| dansko | lolz oke | 11:52 |
| luke_ | It has been for me anyway :) | 11:52 |
| dansko | i think i REALLY REALLY REALLY need to get used to kubuntu | 11:52 |
| dansko | cuz im like holy crap wtf is this | 11:52 |
| Tw|sT | last I remember, it was... but check http://distrowatch.com | 11:52 |
| dansko | ok, i used opensuse before, and i liked it alot | 11:52 |
| luke_ | hehe | 11:52 |
| dansko | lots of software and stuff | 11:52 |
| johann787 | I found out how to enable the root account in the server version Its rather simple and should be documented | 11:53 |
| dansko | yes i used that | 11:53 |
| luke_ | I don't really like SuSE | 11:53 |
| dansko | why not?:) | 11:53 |
| johann787 | boot the cd again and choose rescue | 11:53 |
| ardchoille | johann787: They don't want it documented | 11:53 |
| johann787 | ask for a command shell and change the password for root | 11:53 |
| luke_ | It's really confusing | 11:53 |
| Tw|sT | personally, and I've used many distros, Kubuntu has been the most friendly distro I've used since 1997 | 11:53 |
| dansko | why's that? | 11:53 |
| ardchoille | johann787: Please don't post that here, it's neither recommended nor necessary | 11:54 |
| dansko | ok, well i like kubuntu alot especially its very fast i think | 11:54 |
| johann787 | If I´m setting up a server I want to enebla the root acount , but if im setting up a desktop machine the sudo is fine | 11:54 |
| dansko | but i need to get used to all the functions | 11:54 |
| luke_ | indeed | 11:54 |
| ardchoille | johann787: That's fine for your server, but we should follow recommended and supported procedure when advising others. | 11:54 |
| dansko | do you think there's more software available to (k)ubuntu than for SuseA? | 11:54 |
| dansko | -a | 11:55 |
| johann787 | Well you need to know about the sudo BUG in the 7.10, I´m unable to do a sudo when I´m finished installing | 11:55 |
| Tw|sT | best bet... if you want root active, don't use Kubuntu, or Ubuntu... use Debian 4.0r1 instead. It's more designed for hackers/programmers | 11:55 |
| luke_ | dansko: there is the same ammount | 11:55 |
| Tw|sT | have you tried using 'sudu su' ? | 11:55 |
| dansko | ohyeah, its universal aint it? | 11:55 |
| Tw|sT | yup | 11:55 |
| dansko | so if i want to use repos from suse i can use them on kubu? | 11:56 |
| dansko | for exampl | 11:56 |
| Tw|sT | negative | 11:56 |
| dansko | e | 11:56 |
| dansko | i thought so | 11:56 |
| Tw|sT | the packages are compiled differently | 11:56 |
| luke_ | you can use alien | 11:56 |
| luke_ | but it doesn't always work | 11:56 |
| Tw|sT | suse uses RPMs, like Fedora/RHEL | 11:56 |
| ardchoille | Use of alien is also not recommended. | 11:56 |
| dansko | ok | 11:56 |
| ardchoille | !alien | 11:56 |
| ubotu | RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 11:56 |
| Tw|sT | Kubuntu uses DEB packages, like debian | 11:57 |
| dansko | aha ok :) | 11:57 |
| luke_ | you can always complie it | 11:57 |
| dansko | yes but i think compiling is a risk | 11:57 |
| Tw|sT | now, you *can* use Debian packages natively | 11:57 |
| dansko | i dont even know what it means exactly ;p | 11:57 |
| Kohlrabi | dansko: why? | 11:57 |
| Kohlrabi | It just takes ages | 11:57 |
| dansko | cuz last time u needed to enable xgl | 11:57 |
| Kohlrabi | When you need to compile every app | 11:58 |
| luke_ | I think not | 11:58 |
| Tw|sT | I've had no probs compiling from source, other than getting the dev environment together in the first place... | 11:58 |
| dansko | i used this command: gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl and i forgot one - | 11:58 |
| dansko | my pc wouldnt boot anymore :P thats only a command | 11:58 |
| Tw|sT | the problem was that there is no meta-package for it | 11:58 |
| dansko | when i try to compile amsn the computer trips like hell | 11:58 |
| Tw|sT | so, ya gotta know what you need. | 11:58 |
| Kohlrabi | dansko: maybe just x wasn't starting? | 11:58 |
| dansko | i dont know, im a newbie to linu | 11:58 |
| dansko | x | 11:58 |
| Kohlrabi | ok :) | 11:59 |
| dansko | :p | 11:59 |
| dansko | ima find some repos | 11:59 |
| dansko | ty for help :) | 11:59 |
| luke_ | :) | 11:59 |
| Tw|sT | that's one area where I've found that Fedora's package system was better thought out... but, all distros are constantly improving, and I expect that that will be remedied soon enough... ppl just have to request it and it'll eventually happen | 11:59 |
| Tw|sT | but, that said, I sucessfully installed a good dev environment, enough to compile UnrealIRCD, espernet IRC services, and bopm onto a Athlon 64 3000+ running Kubuntu 7.10-x64 | 12:02 |
| Tw|sT | it's been running flawlessly now for about 6 weeks on that installation. | 12:02 |
| Tw|sT | though, I *do* have one complaint... but it's with another vendor... UltraVNC should be ported to Linux. I say that because it's got the best security model of any VNC server that I've used since VNC arrived on the scene | 12:04 |
| Kohlrabi | the good thing is that you can "apt-get build-dep" for packages which are present in apt | 12:04 |
| Kohlrabi | I didn't knew that a while back, gave me headaches compiling mplayer-SVN :) | 12:04 |
| * Tw|sT works on his Linux & Windows Servers remotely, most of the time, using Xming to make a XDCMP connection to the Xserver itself. | 12:05 |
| Tw|sT | (rather, uses UltraVNC for windows servers, and Xming for Linux) | 12:05 |
| Tw|sT | Synaptic, which is a front end for apt, has that option (build-dep). It also has an option that auto adds recommended packages as if they were deps. This is really handy. | 12:08 |
| Tw|sT | btw, synaptic is multi platform. I started using it on Red Hat 8.0-psyche, and have used it on every distro since. On a few of them, I did have to add repos (found them via a google search), but overall it's been the best package manager that I've found | 12:10 |
| Kohlrabi | wasn't synaptic the GNOME-pendant to adept? :) | 12:11 |
| ardchoille | Kohlrabi: most gnome apps can run quite well in kde and vice-versa | 12:12 |
| Tw|sT | I'm not sure that it's gnome dependent, but then again, I always install support for gnome apps. Thing is, I do that only so that I can run gnome apps within KDE | 12:12 |
| atwo1 | wtf just happened | 12:12 |
| Tw|sT | right | 12:12 |
| ardchoille | atwo1: Please watch your language in this channel. You have been given several reminders. | 12:12 |

| === atwo1 is now known as atwo |
| Jay-Oh-En | so atwo | 12:17 |
| atwo | there | 12:17 |
| atwo | ^ | 12:17 |
| Tw|sT | anyways, as soon as I install Kubuntu, I open Konsole, and run 'sudo apt-get install synaptic'. After Synaptic is installed, I install the two meta packages 'KDE' & 'gnome'. This installs all the base packages for both environments. From there, you can install anything else you need with a much higher level of success of it working. | 12:18 |
| Mez | atwo, don't make me ban you here too | 12:18 |
| atwo | Mez: leave me alone please i'm working on this issue, thx | 12:18 |
| Mez | atwo, then stop making personal attacks against members of the community | 12:18 |
| atwo | i'm not making personal anythnig on anyone im trying to talk to jay oh en | 12:18 |
| atwo | you're just hassling me | 12:18 |
| atwo | and im not even talking to u in here | 12:19 |
| atwo | Jay-Oh-En: any idea? | 12:19 |

| dansko | hi im back again | 12:19 |
| atwo | for some odd reason | 12:19 |
| crush_groove | Tw|sT, / what are meta packages ? | 12:19 |
| Tw|sT | I have an idea... use a query chat. | 12:19 |
| Mez | atwo, I believe calling me a tosser is consdered an attack | 12:19 |
| Jay-Oh-En | atwo: ill edit your xorg | 12:19 |
| dansko | twist can you help me again for a sec? | 12:19 |
| Tw|sT | crush_groove: meta-packages are compound packages that link to several subpackages. | 12:19 |
| Tw|sT | basically, they install suites of applications | 12:20 |
| * Tw|sT is about out of time... and has to get ready for work | 12:20 |
| atwo | Jay-Oh-En: ok | 12:20 |
| Tw|sT | dansko: I'll send you my email address, and will help out as possible as time allows. | 12:20 |
| dansko | ok that would be great | 12:21 |

| dansko | can anybody help me? | 12:23 |
| kubu | hmm.. have i gotten it right? b|cos if i use the dvd only and add universe to it. it wount work, so for using universe you have to use an online repo right? | 12:24 |
| dansko | i tried to install packages, but when i do its says that it cant connect, cant find source for packages or that when it installs packages it could be that it screws up system...? | 12:24 |
