kub^thank you :)00:05
kub^dvd isos00:05
Daisuke_Idognomebaker!00:06
BluesKajkub^, you'll prolly have to DL those apps00:06
Daisuke_Ido>_>00:06
vzduchif you have an ISO you can burn it w/ any burning program00:06
Daisuke_Idoif k3b won't burn it, the others won't either00:06
BluesKajhis k3b is not doing the job00:06
Daisuke_Idothey all use the same backend, i think00:06
kub^my k3b freezes the pc requiring a hard reset even when i only look at the further actions menu with a blank dvd  in00:07
vzduchif there is no limitation built into growisofs preventing you from burning DL DVDs, it shouldn't be a problem00:07
BluesKajgrowisofs is the actual app that most use00:08
kub^when k3b works thats what it uses yeah, maybe i should just use growisofs from the command line00:09
=== bsander is now known as bsander|gone
vzduchdoes that same DVD recorder work in other OSes (e.g. Windoze)?00:10
vzduchprobably a hardware problem if it freezes on popping in a blank DVD00:10
kub^it seems to work 1 out of say 4 goes, kinda hoping it isnt hardware >.< i'll try another client first :)00:11
vzduchit might already help to just open the case and make sure that all cables are properly connected00:12
kub^yeah good idea00:13
BluesKajkub^, does nero or whatever client you use work in windows ?00:14
kub^yeah with no problems00:14
hitmanWillyhmmm, might be an issue with automounting then00:15
sub[t]rnlautomounting? his fstab?00:16
hitmanWillyor dbus/hal00:17
sub[t]rnlyeah I guess growisofs wont be able to burn a mounted DVD.00:17
hitmanWillyhe said that it freezes when he just sticks the dvd in00:17
sub[t]rnlkub^: make sure noauto is in your fstab for you burning rom00:17
kub^ok sec00:17
kub^is that /etc/fstab coz i dont see a line noauto00:18
kub^?00:18
sub[t]rnlyeah00:18
* BluesKaj studies growisofs man pages ...seems simple enuff ...the examples are clear 00:18
sub[t]rnlstill, theres a pitfall if his fstab is auto mounting the dvd's00:19
sub[t]rnlwon't be able to burn00:19
kub^when i pop a dvd in a window pops up asking me if i want to open it in k3b00:19
hitmanWillyjust cancel that out00:20
sub[t]rnlkub^: show me the line in fstab for your dvdrom00:20
hitmanWillyassuming you want to use growisofs00:21
sub[t]rnlright00:21
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]rnlnoauto is in there00:21

K`zanShould 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
etfbK`zan: 15% isn't that much, is it?01:59
K`zanout of 200% (both CPUs) no, not really, just never noticed it before.01:59
nosrednaekimuser_: well, "sudo chmod a+w /dev/sg0" should do it.01:59
K`zanNice 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
nosrednaekimK`zan: thats the kernel interrupt I think....02:00
etfbK`lan: often while dogpaddling frantically around a whirlpool...02:00
K`zanLOL, that is TOO TRUE LOL!02:00
K`zanJust converted back to kubuntu after a foray into fedora (ewwww!).02:01
etfbK`zan: what was it like?  I last tried it when it was Red Hat, MANY years ago.02:01
K`zanThis version (7.10) seems to like my USB devices :).02:01
K`zanFedora 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`zanetfb: 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`zanDeb is the best :).02:02
K`zanDeb / deb derived is the best :).02:02
etfbK`zan: that's my experience too.02:02
nosrednaekimuser_: nope,no need to restart02:03
K`zanNow 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
nosrednaekimuser_: the what?02:05
nosrednaekimuser_: try running nero as root02:05
user_k hang on02:06
user_nosrednaekim: Ok _that_ works.... now i'm confused!02:07
user_would chown dwflo:dwflo /dev/sg0  work?02:07
nosrednaekimuser_: i'm not sure, but there is really no harm in running it as root, in fact its slightly better02:08
=== 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
bmk789what does a grub read error mean?  it just started after i switched my motherboard02:09
bmk789user_: you could create a shortcut to run "kdesu nero"02:09
user_bmk789: how do i do that?02:09
bmk789user_: right click your desktop and create new link to application02:10
user_ok02:10
user_i've done _that_ before02:10
geniibmk789: make sure hd is plugged into identical channel eg: primary or secondary if IDE also that head/sectors/cylinder mapping is same02:10
bmk789genii: everythings plugged in the same02:11
nosrednaekimuser_: make an icon whose command is "kdesudo nero"02:11
user_ok02:11
pastrycan 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 it02:11
geniibmk789: Then likely bios maps the drive differently than the previous one did02:12
etfbuser_: he meant kdesu nero, not kdesudo...02:12
user_aha! "sudo chown username:username /dev/sg0" also works!02:12
etfbuser_: sounds like a Japanese anime, doesn't it!02:12
nosrednaekimetfb: actually,I meant kdesudo02:12
user_you guys are right, i'm sure!02:12
bmk789genii: the /dev files are the same as before02:12
user_aren't they the same?02:12
etfbnosrednaekim: really?  Sorry!  What's the difference?02:12
geniibmk789:  /dev files have nothing to do with how bios sees the geometry of the drive02:13
nosrednaekim!kdesudo | etfb02:13
ubotuetfb: 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 type02:14
etfbnosrednaekim: foo!  You learn something new every nanosecond round here.  I'll have to go look up the history behind that.02:14
nosrednaekimuser_: I think in gutsy, kdesu is juct linked to kdesudo02:14

etfbgenii: 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
geniietfb: Enjoy! ;)02:18
nosrednaekimuser_: 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
nosrednaekimuser_: 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
nosrednaekimuser_: ah... its cause you are running nero as root, so the root "user" tries to mount it as well02:19
crush_grooveuser ./do you have a disc in the cd tray ?02:20
BluesKajK`zan, check /var/run/cups/cups.sock02:20

nosrednaekimcrush_groove: umm I don't think you see whats going on here02:26
crush_groove gotcha mike02:26
crush_groove Ill back out02:26
user_nosrednaekim: so do you know how to fix this?02:26
nosrednaekimuser_: did you notice that the icons are different?02:26
user_yes02:26
user_when i first installed gutsy, this happened, but stopped when i removed Dolphin.  But know i have no idea what to do02:27
nosrednaekimon 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 it02:28
user_*now02:28
user_so i just gotta wait, then, eh?02:28
nosrednaekimuser_: basically, yes... but when one of those dialogs pop up, select the menu which has the "silvery" looking icon02:28
user_what if i used the default icon scheme... then this problem wouldn't happen?02:29
nosrednaekimuser_: it would, but you couldn't tell the dialogs apart, so you'd be worse off02:29
user_ugh.02:29

BluesKajnosrednaekim, we hope .....02:36
user_nosrednaekim: it turns out i had two instances of konqueror running in the background when i was inserting the disc (i only found out when i rebooted, and on startup, i had to give superuser password).  I killed the instances, inserted the disc, and *poof* - only one window opened!02:36

jrsimsOk, so I went into my monitor and display settings and I get this error: "The module Monitor & Display could not be loaded".03:23
jrsimsHow do I fix this? I cannot touch any settings.03:23
micojrsims: And, looking for cloning or a separate display03:23
jhutchinspastry: Your mixer selections are pretty much determined by the hardware.03:23
jrsimsmico: do you know what is up with my last issue here?03:23
jrsimsmico: not being able to adjust my monitor and display settings in Administrator mode?03:24
jhutchinsAll 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
micojrsims: Well, no... I dont know jack shit about your system  :)03:25
jrsimsmico: 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
jrsimsmico: know how I could reinstall the said modules?03:26
nosrednaekimjrsims: try running "kcmshell displayconfig"03:28
micojrsims: something other than displaythings have gone seriously awry...03:28
jrsimsnosrednaekim: ok, now what?03:29
nosrednaekimjrsims: did that work?03:29
jrsimsnosrednaekim: 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
jrsimsso same story03:30
nosrednaekimjrsims: try "kdesudo kcmshell displayconfig"03:30
jrsims(kde seems really fragile)03:30
jrsimsk03:30
jrsimsnosrednaekim: same exact thing.03:31
nosrednaekimjrsims: yech. are you running XGL?03:32
jrsimsno03:32
micojrsims: kde is a bit "fragile"... But seems like something was missing in the install..... Checksummed the install-cd?03:32
jrsimsshould I reinstall KDE over apt?03:32
nosrednaekimjrsims: are you sure you're not? do you even have it installed?03:33
jrsimsmico: no, I didn't checksum. After install, it was fine. Just now it isn't.03:33
jrsimsnosrednaekim: absolutely positive. I did not install that.03:33
miconosrednaekim: Could possibly missing/broken parts be fixed by reinstalling with apt?03:34
nosrednaekimjrsims: hmm k...03:34
nosrednaekimjrsims: is this a ubuntu install or a fresh kubuntu?03:34
jrsimsnosrednaekim: it's a pretty fresh kubuntu with updates applied.03:34
nosrednaekimjrsims: humm.03:34
jrsimsand like I said, I was able to get into this part of KDE before. Not now though.03:35
micojrsims: did thing work BEFORE the update?03:35
jrsimsyes03:35
jrsimsThe problem started when I went to use the dual display settings.03:35
jrsimsthen crapped out.03:35
jrsimsI am just running on a thinkpad03:36
jrsimsno weird hardware03:36
jrsimsintel gma03:36
micojrsims: All PC's are weird hardware... :)03:36
nosrednaekimodd, did that kcmshell spit out any errors to the konsole?03:36
micojrsims: Did you "fiddle" with the system earlier?, before the upgrade?03:38
jrsimsmico: installed some packages like irssi, nmap, etc.03:38
jrsimswould reinstalling KDE help? or is there a way to revert to default video settings and start over?03:39
micojrsims: me not know jack s*t03:40
micojrsims: Hey! Ati & laptop... What happens if the secondary display is ON and connected when You cold boot the machine?03:41
jrsimsmico: I lose the bottom and right sides of the display. it runs at a higher rez but my laptop screen only displays 1280x800 of it.03:44

devolicWhat's the most favored build among everyone?03:47
micodevolic: each, for thos who built03:47
jrsimsmico: my attached monitor is still blank, but then my laptop has the cropped picture.03:48
micojrsims: what did you do to acchieve that? ... Which steps did you take, what do you have & what do you wnat03:50
micojrsims: thinkpad? what model? What chip eats your muffin? How can you be cured?03:51
jrsimsdoesn't sound like anyone in here can help me. Just going to reinstall kde and pray.03:52

Voyage__ardchoille how do i know the pid of it04:25

ardchoilleVoyage__: pidof d3lphin04:27
Voyage__its dolphin. not d3lphin04:27

sub[t]rnlNeville: how do you mean, it isn't being recognized?04:30
sub[t]rnlNeville: it doesn't show up in sudo fdisk -l04:31
NevilleIt shows up in there, what I mean is how to I get it to be used?04:31
ardchoilleVoyage__: That's strange because when I run dolphin and do "pidof dolphin" nothing is returned. However, a pid *is* returned when I do "pidof d3lphin"04:31
sub[t]rnlNeville: it will be used when your physical ram is full, as a backup04:31
Voyage__i want to increase security of my folders. i want any users to only be able to view its contents. a password should be asked every time if modifing or deleting...  how can do it?04:32
NevilleNo, because it's not appearing in Kinfocentre04:32
NevilleIt says Swap Partition Not available04:32
NevilleIt'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 soon04:33
NevilleAnd that meant lots of messy cutting and pasting of partitions, not to mention fiddling with Grub alot04:34

Jyzygzel-doesn't ubuntu come with NTFS-3g04:44
ardchoilleVoyage__: A Linux system is too hostile an environment for a virus to thrive and propogate. Any downloaded file must be made executable before it can even run, and then, without admi provs, can't do any damage to anything outside of $HOME.04:44

Saagari need to know about multicasting,  can anybody help05:36
jessiehey, does anybody know if kubuntu 7.10 with kde4 is going to have a diff kernel?05:37
etfbSaagar: it's a big topic. Can you narrow down your question a little?05:37
etfbjessie: AFAIK, you'll be able to upgrade to KDE4 when it arrives (January?) but it's independent of the kernel upgrades05:38
Saagaryes. Whenever I enable multicasting in my ip cam, my LAN gets congested05:38

bazhangnot so, you can install it now :}05:39
etfbSaagar: 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
jessiewhat? hardy? and i meant if there was going to be a kernel update for kubuntu05:40
etfbjessie: new kernels come down the line every couple of months at least.  I got ?4 with feisty.05:40
bazhangfor gutsy?05:40
jessieyeah05:40
etfbjessie: probably about due for a new one, actually05:40
twylightkubuntu = debian = linux = linus torvalds controls the kernel updates05:40

jessiemy bad... im a bit tired.... and he does? like, update from 2.6.20-15-generic to .16?05:41
bazhangcurrently 2.6.22.14-generic05:41
etfbjessie: 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

twylight127.0.0.1 <305:43

twylightno, kubuntu is the same thing as ubuntu with a different UI05:43

Ch1ppyhey, 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
SaagarBut My LAN bandwidth 100 Mbps06:12
onishidatoCh1ppy: how much ram do you have?06:12
Ch1ppyonishidato: 2 gigs, and I'm nowhere near that amount06:12
Saagari enabled only 6 Mbps in the device06:12
Saagarwould that clog my network?06:13
oobeSaagar,  but you want use higher res ?06:13
onishidatoCh1ppy: wow06:13
Ch1ppyonishidato: :)06:13
Saagaryes06:13
onishidatoCh1ppy: and your VGA card?06:13
Ch1ppyonishidato: eVGA eGeForce 6800 GT06:13
SaagarI suspect it is streaming outside my LAN.06:13
onishidatoCh1ppy: maybe you should check your card, cause some cards doesn't support your game setting06:14
Ch1ppyonishidato: it handles the game really well (100+ FPS) except when X randomly spikes06:14
Saagaroobe: What do you think?06:14
oobeSaagar,  yeah it could cause 100 Mbps is still only theoretical speed plus are you streaming to more than one person at once06:14
Ch1ppyonishidato: so I don't think it's related to the game settings or anything exceeding the capabilities of my box06:14
onishidatoCh1ppy: does it usually happen?06:15
SaagarOobe: How can I limit streaming to a particular group?06:16
Ch1ppyonishidato: 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 nexuiz06:16
SaagarSay the ip address range 192.168.11.80 - 192.168.11.8906:16
Ch1ppyonishidato: it does spike to ~4-7% cpu every now and then, but nowhere near the magnitude that I see while playing06:16
oobeSaagar, not sure06:16
onishidatoCh1ppy: i c06:17
Saagarokay oobe. Thank you anyway06:17
oobeSaagar,  ur probably better limiting access to the ip cam06:17
Ch1ppyonishidato: 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... :S06:17
oobehave u checked whats going on with netstat ?06:18
onishidatoCh1ppy: or maybe your box is too fast :)06:18

onishidatorohan: which one?06:19
rohanonishidato: acer_acpi06:19
Ch1ppyonishidato: 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

oobeSaagar, as for limiting streaming to a particular group you could use ip tables to set a rule on what ip ranges can access the ip cam06:26

phil_hardcoreoh noo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!06:27
monzieHI all06:27
monzieI am trying to setup a dedicated partition for builds06:27
monzieShould i user ResierFS instead of ext3?06:27
oobeMani213, my computer was retarted once06:28
phil_hardcoreno use ext306:28
Dr_willisI see no reason to use reiserfs over ext3.06:28
Mani213ye like it was configuring after installing linux06:28
monzieDr_willis: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=4#doc_chap406:28
Dr_willisUnless you got some very speficic idea/needs as to why you need reiser.06:28
Dr_willismonzie,  just because gentoo suggests it . doesnt make it a good idea. :)06:28
monzieThe gentoo handbook says reiser is faster than ext306:28
phil_hardcoreanyone using enlightenment?06:28
Dr_willismonzie,  ive heard its faster at SOME operations.06:28
monzieDr_willis: But i could not get ubuntu's position on filesystems, so aksed06:28
monzieDr_willis: for builds?06:29
monzieDr_willis: essentiallly i want to build KDE4 on the partition06:29
Dr_willisphil_hardcore,  been using the gos  and Geubuntu desktops a little. :)06:29
Mani213how do i install it manualy when the drives are there but it doesnt let me06:29
Mani213do i check the home drive or the swap driveÉ06:29
phil_hardcorepsh06:29
oobeMani213, did u try using the alternate install06:30
Dr_willismonzie,  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
Mani213what do you mean alternate installÉ06:30
monzieDr_willis: ok. i like building kde4.06:30
phil_hardcorei would just wait on kde 4 until the stable comes out06:30
monzieDr_willis: Thought my laptop would maybe able to build it faster if i used reiserfs06:31
Dr_willislaptop hd's are often so slow.. its.. well.. sad. :(06:31
oobeMani213, there is a alternate install disk that doesnt use a DE it is all command like a Debian installer and it is much more versatile06:31
Dr_willisMy poor laptop has a  4800 rpm hd. :(06:31
Dr_willisdistcc an a lan of helper machines may help more. :)06:31
Mani213okay well is there any way of resuming the installationÉ06:31
oobeu are better off starting again06:32

Sulo_SeppaHey guys07:41
sub[t]rnlGreetings07:42
Sulo_SeppaI 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
lhadjiSulo_Seppa, you can run it off the cdrom and see how it runs :D07:45
=== Agrajag` is now known as Agrajag
Sulo_SeppaWell I was also wondering if it works wireless or if you still have to set all that crap up?07:46
praveenmhi, is there any way to transfer files using ANY im client to gtalk on winxp07:46
ardchoilleSulo_Seppa: Is that laptop 64bit?07:47
Sulo_Seppayes07:47
ardchoilleok07:47
lhadjiSulo_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 :D07:47
olbjquit07:48
Sulo_SeppaOh 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 process07:48
AshyIsMehello07:48
sub[t]rnlI 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 such07:48
AshyIsMedoes the iso from this link http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php  allow you to install kubuntu?07:48
AshyIsMeor is it just a bootable livecd without the hdd install script?07:48
sub[t]rnlSulo_Seppa: soon you will see the light though, and find that the vista partition is just taking up space :p07:49
Sulo_SeppaWell, 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_SeppaSo use vista resize?07:50
sub[t]rnlyup07:50
lhadjiSulo_Seppa have you run kubuntu live off the cd on the laptop before?07:50
ubuntui tried fixing grub but doesnt seem to be working07:50
sub[t]rnlvista doesn't like anything else touching the drives, go figure07:50
Sulo_Seppanah, I just got done burning the iso07:50

ibilicI 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
ibilicand then I want my USB drive to work... and I have to look up on the forums how to deal with the bug07:53
ubuntuis there any way of fixing grub while on linux07:53
lhadjiSulo_Seppa, cool. Let us know if kubuntu found all your drivers when you ran it live from the cd on your laptop :)07:53
ibilicand then the K-meny thing... again... looking up on the internet how to fix it07:53
Sulo_SeppaOkay, 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
ibilicnothing seems to work the easy way!07:53
sub[t]rnlubuntu: get into the grub shell via -> sudo grub07:53

johann787Hi, does anyone know what the default root password is after install, unable to do a sudo command08:14
INFOEXCLUDEDisnt there any automatic way ?08:14
johann787no08:14
ardchoillejohann787: There is no root pass, sudo uses your user passwd08:14
jussi01!root | johann78708:15
ubotujohann787: 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/RootSudo08:15
sub[t]rnlPJC121: using that method will only repair grub on a harddrive that has its installation files08:15
johann787I tries to use sudo but my username which I entered in the beginning is not in the sudo list08:15

sub[t]rnltuxwulf_: you'll need to edit your /etc/network/interfaces09:00
tuxwulf_sub[t]rnl: I can not do so with ifconfig on the fly any more?09:00
sub[t]rnlnot sure09:01
ActionParsnipspitfire, then sudo cp the .so file to /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins09:01
sub[t]rnlnot if you want it static09:01
atwo1ok09:01
ActionParsnipspitfire, then restart your browser09:01
atwo1sub[t]rnl: thanks my net works now09:01
atwo1ok09:03
tuxwulf_Gee...... that bums me out... all that automatic stuff is for MS users...09:03
atwo1im getting this issue where the screen is pushed accross from the left side by about 200px (this is in the native res)09:03
atwo1im enablding the nvidia thing in restricted drivers09:04
sub[t]rnltuxwulf_: ifconfig'ing an ip up will only be temporary anyway, when you restart networking it gets read from /etc/network/interfaces09:04
ActionParsnipatwo1, you could use your monitor controls :D09:04
atwo1last time i did this on restart it didnt detect the screen at all once it was loaded up09:04
atwo1ActionParsnip: that doesn't work09:04
atwo1anywhere near where its meant to09:04
tuxwulf_sub[t]rnl:  Yes, but I want to be able to change it onnnnnnnne fly09:04
sub[t]rnltuxwulf_: then ifconfig your little heart out bro :D09:04
tuxwulf_sub[t]rnl: ... Yes... I think you do not understand what my issue is...09:05
atwo1ok it's enabled, now if i restatr and it doesn't detect it, i have to reinstall kubuntu09:05
atwo1again09:05
ActionParsnipatwo1, do sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade09:05
atwo1wait its restarting09:06
ActionParsnipatwo1, so you have the latest09:06
atwo1GREAT09:06
atwo1it says 'no signal' and i can't see anything on the desktop09:06
sub[t]rnltuxwulf_: 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 fly09:06
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
ActionParsnipatwo1, ok then boot to your live cd, mount your drive and copy back your original xorg.conf09:06
atwo1ok here's one for u09:06

atwo1so it doesnt even recognise the screen is there09:32
etfbatwo1: 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

Sulo_SeppaWell, 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
atwo1ok the story is.......09:40
etfbSulo_Seppa: I sympathise; I'm having hell with wifi drivers too.  Mind you, it's mostly self-inflicted in my case...09:40
atwo1i 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 everything09:40
atwo1im abuot to reinstall09:40

etfbSulo_Seppa: I uninstalled knetworkmanager and can't get it back.  Wifi is included, but your installation may have stuffed up.09:43

danskoHi11:47
danskocan someone help me?11:47
luke_with what?11:47
danskoi got a problem11:47
danskoi used opensuse first11:47
Tw|sTAtleast 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 instead11:47
danskobut i tried kubuntu now11:47
danskobut the problem is, theres a lot diffrent from opensuse11:48
danskoi want to install programs like compiz fusion and the themes and stuff11:48
luke_right11:48
danskobut i can only install compiz manager11:48
luke_you use apt11:48
luke_or adept manager11:48
danskoye i tried11:48
danskobut theres a lot less software then opensuse11:48
Tw|sThave you installed synaptic11:48
danskoor can i add repositories?11:48
luke_yes you can11:48
luke_sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list11:49
Tw|sT'sudo apt-get install synaptic'11:49
luke_add repos to that11:49
danskooke 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 Fusion11:49
danskololz, where i find the repos then?11:49
danskoyes but i want community repos11:49
danskowith lots of craps :P11:49
Tw|sTsearch google: Kubuntu Apt repos11:49
danskooki11:50
danskoty11:50
Tw|sT;)11:50
Tw|sTnp11:50
luke_and enable universe and multiverse repos in sources.list11:50
Tw|sTabsolutely11:50
danskosorry, im not familiar with text mode and console11:51
danskou just used windowmanager11:51
Tw|sTyou'd like synaptic, alot , I think.  it's totally graphical11:51
luke_That's Gnome isn't it?11:51
danskoi dont know, i just use kde11:51
luke_use Adept Manager11:51
Tw|sTit works regardless11:51
luke_:)11:51
danskocan i ask you something11:52
luke_I don't like Gnome11:52
luke_yes11:52
danskome neither11:52
Tw|sTI don't either11:52
Tw|sTsure11:52
danskois kubuntu really the most popular distro?11:52
danskoand user friendly?11:52
luke_yes11:52
danskololz oke11:52
luke_It has been for me anyway :)11:52
danskoi think i REALLY REALLY REALLY need to get used to kubuntu11:52
danskocuz im like holy crap wtf is this11:52
Tw|sTlast I remember, it was... but check http://distrowatch.com11:52
danskook, i used opensuse before, and i liked it alot11:52
luke_hehe11:52
danskolots of software and stuff11:52
johann787I found out how to enable the root account in the server version Its rather simple and should be documented11:53
danskoyes i used that11:53
luke_I don't really like SuSE11:53
danskowhy not?:)11:53
johann787boot the cd again and choose rescue11:53
ardchoillejohann787: They don't want it documented11:53
johann787ask for a command shell and change the password for root11:53
luke_It's really confusing11:53
Tw|sTpersonally, and I've used many distros, Kubuntu has been the most friendly distro I've used since 199711:53
danskowhy's that?11:53
ardchoillejohann787: Please don't post that here, it's neither recommended nor necessary11:54
danskook, well i like kubuntu alot especially its very fast i think11:54
johann787If I´m setting up a server I want to enebla the root acount , but if im setting up a desktop machine the sudo is fine11:54
danskobut i need to get used to all the functions11:54
luke_indeed11:54
ardchoillejohann787: That's fine for your server, but we should follow recommended and supported procedure when advising others.11:54
danskodo you think there's more software available to (k)ubuntu than for SuseA?11:54
dansko-a11:55
johann787Well you need to know about the sudo BUG in the 7.10, I´m unable to do a sudo when I´m finished installing11:55
Tw|sTbest bet... if you want root active, don't use Kubuntu, or Ubuntu... use Debian 4.0r1 instead.  It's more designed for hackers/programmers11:55
luke_dansko: there is the same ammount11:55
Tw|sThave you tried using 'sudu su' ?11:55
danskoohyeah, its universal aint it?11:55
Tw|sTyup11:55
danskoso if i want to use repos from suse i can use them on kubu?11:56
danskofor exampl11:56
Tw|sTnegative11:56
danskoe11:56
danskoi thought so11:56
Tw|sTthe packages are compiled differently11:56
luke_you can use alien11:56
luke_but it doesn't always work11:56
Tw|sTsuse uses RPMs, like Fedora/RHEL11:56
ardchoilleUse of alien is also not recommended.11:56
danskook11:56
ardchoille!alien11:56
ubotuRPM 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|sTKubuntu uses DEB packages, like debian11:57
danskoaha ok :)11:57
luke_you can always complie it11:57
danskoyes but i think compiling is a risk11:57
Tw|sTnow, you *can* use Debian packages natively11:57
danskoi dont even know what it means exactly ;p11:57
Kohlrabidansko: why?11:57
KohlrabiIt just takes ages11:57
danskocuz last time u needed to enable xgl11:57
KohlrabiWhen you need to compile every app11:58
luke_I think not11:58
Tw|sTI've had no probs compiling from source, other than getting the dev environment together in the first place...11:58
danskoi used this command: gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl and i forgot one -11:58
danskomy pc wouldnt boot anymore :P thats only a command11:58
Tw|sTthe problem was that there is no meta-package for it11:58
danskowhen i try to compile amsn the computer trips like hell11:58
Tw|sTso, ya gotta know what you need.11:58
Kohlrabidansko: maybe just x wasn't starting?11:58
danskoi dont know, im a newbie to linu11:58
danskox11:58
Kohlrabiok :)11:59
dansko:p11:59
danskoima find some repos11:59
danskoty for help :)11:59
luke_:)11:59
Tw|sTthat'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 happen11:59
Tw|sTbut, 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-x6412:02
Tw|sTit's been running flawlessly now for about 6 weeks on that installation.12:02
Tw|sTthough, 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 scene12:04
Kohlrabithe good thing is that you can "apt-get build-dep" for packages which are present in apt12:04
KohlrabiI 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|sTSynaptic, 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|sTbtw, 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 found12:10
Kohlrabiwasn't synaptic the GNOME-pendant to adept? :)12:11
ardchoilleKohlrabi: most gnome apps can run quite well in kde and vice-versa12:12
Tw|sTI'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 KDE12:12

Tw|sTanyways, 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
