| yoyo | Oh | 00:01 |

| yoyo | I expected it to be in Configure Konqueror | 00:02 |
|---|
| * yoyo runs away | 00:02 |
| CheGuevara | ... | 00:02 |
|---|
| martalli | I have a problem with flash not working in firefox or konqueror. I am using an uptodate verison of gutsy kubuntu with ubuntu-restricted-extras (no automatix) | 00:05 |
|---|
| martalli | I wonder - should I be using ubufox or not in kubuntu? Would that matter in this case? | 00:05 |
|---|
| martalli | When I try to run flash things, it says flash is not installed, but then discovers it is installed sduring the installation process | 00:06 |
|---|
| CheGuevara | martalli, how did you install it | 00:06 |
|---|
| martalli | through adept | 00:06 |
|---|
| vzduch | !automatix | martalli | 00:06 |
|---|
| ubotu | martalli: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 00:06 |
|---|
| martalli | well, maybe I installed it through apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras | 00:07 |
|---|
| vzduch | ah, I misread.. | 00:07 |
|---|
| martalli | I agree about automatix. No automatix (isn't that what I said?) | 00:07 |
|---|
| vzduch | martalli: as I said, my mistake | 00:07 |
|---|
| martalli | I don't think there was any need for automatix after dapper (if there was really any use for it in the first place) | 00:08 |
|---|
| martalli | no problem | 00:08 |
|---|
| vzduch | I used it for my first Feisty install.. for the 2nd I just added the repo because the software available there can at times be useful | 00:08 |
|---|
| vzduch | but it installs all fine just using apt-get | 00:09 |
|---|
| CheGuevara | newest flash (the one in proposed) doesn't work with konq | 00:09 |
|---|
| postg | Pollywog | 00:09 |
|---|
| vzduch | CheGuevara: which version? | 00:09 |
|---|
| j | true | 00:09 |
|---|
| martalli | Hmmm....but I have the same problem in firefox | 00:09 |
|---|
| j | kdmtheme dosent work | 00:09 |
|---|
| * vzduch knows that 9.0.115.0 doesn't work.. offered in the regular Fedora repo | 00:10 |
| vzduch | so I downgraded to 9.0.48.0, that works fine in Konq | 00:10 |
|---|
| CheGuevara | yeah 9.0.115.0 doesn't work | 00:11 |
|---|
| martalli | Can I downgrade using adept? | 00:13 |
|---|
| martalli | or apt-get? | 00:13 |
|---|
| vzduch | dunno where you get it from in *buntu these days.. | 00:13 |
|---|
| j | how to get 9.0.48.0 in konq | 00:13 |
|---|
| vzduch | for Fedora there's a rpm available from Adobe | 00:13 |
|---|
| CheGuevara | how do they do that? | 00:14 |
|---|
| CheGuevara | thats illegal | 00:14 |
|---|
| vzduch | no, it's not | 00:14 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | what's illegal? | 00:15 |
|---|
| vzduch | it's an Adobe repo, not a Fedora repo | 00:15 |
|---|
| CheGuevara | distributing flash | 00:15 |
|---|
| CheGuevara | oh | 00:15 |
|---|
| CheGuevara | never mind :P | 00:15 |
|---|
| vzduch | apart from that it's nowhere to be found in the default install | 00:15 |
|---|
| vzduch | so nothing illegal there | 00:15 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | looks like this mtp issue is a bug | 00:15 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | and a particularly annoying one, as this is the pc i transfer my music with | 00:16 |
|---|
| f00f | I tried to remove kde4 from my system | 00:16 |
|---|
| f00f | and broke all my kde packages! | 00:16 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | then you removed the wrong thing. | 00:16 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | i *can* use MSC mode (standard USB drive), but the sansa e260's firmware doesn't do id3 v2.4 tags, and that's how *everything* i have is tagged, so it's all sorted as "unknown artist - unknown album" | 00:17 |
|---|
| f00f | when I try to reinstall them, it keeps referring to packages on the http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu source :( | 00:20 |
|---|
| f00f | I just want to get my system back to vanilla 7.10 | 00:20 |
|---|
| CheGuevara | f00f, did you remove the repo from /etc/apt/sources.list? | 00:21 |
|---|
| f00f | CheGuevara: yeah | 00:22 |
|---|
| vzduch | proposal: get rid of the KDE4 repo, then 'sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop' | 00:22 |
|---|
| f00f | kdebase-bin (= 4:3.5.8-2ubuntu3~gutsy1~ppa1) but it is not going to be installed | 00:23 |
|---|
| f00f | ok.. it gives me unmet dependencies now, when I try to remove something! | 00:26 |
|---|
| f00f | great.. now I did whan apt said, and it wants to remove kdm | 00:28 |
|---|
| f00f | I'll just do what apt says, and see where that leads me lol... | 00:28 |
|---|
| f00f | if it goes in the gutter, at least I have my install disk right next to me | 00:29 |
|---|
| vzduch | no need as long as you don't end up w/ an unbootable system.. everything it removes you can reinstall | 00:30 |
|---|
| f00f | I'm just going to remove everything KDE | 00:31 |
|---|
| f00f | and reinstall | 00:31 |
|---|
| angasule | !amarok | 00:32 |
|---|
| ubotu | Amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.7 (1.4.3 for Dapper LTS). Packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Amarok | 00:32 |
|---|
| f00f | amarok is great. | 00:33 |
|---|
| vzduch | well, not quite yet | 00:33 |
|---|
| angasule | yeah, but for some reason it won't work | 00:33 |
|---|
| angasule | it must have broken in one of the updates | 00:33 |
|---|
| vzduch | define "won't work" | 00:33 |
|---|
| angasule | it will complain about not being able to play all sorts of sound files, as if codecs were missing | 00:34 |
|---|
| f00f | is amarok-xine installed? | 00:34 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | so install the codecs. | 00:34 |
|---|
| angasule | only, they aren't missing, and it complains even about audio CDs | 00:34 |
|---|
| angasule | Daisuke_Ido: "as if", they are not missing | 00:34 |
|---|
| angasule | f00f: yes, it is | 00:35 |
|---|
| angasule | should I attempt a reinstall of amarok-xine or what? | 00:35 |
|---|
| f00f | oh great.. installing kde4 zapped my collection in amarok.. stupid kde4 T_T | 00:36 |
|---|
| f00f | angasule: it'd be worth a try.. | 00:37 |
|---|
| f00f | if that dosen't work, make a bug report, like the 5000th time kde4 fails to recognize my soundcard (grrr....) | 00:38 |
|---|
| angasule | why would kde4 have to recognise your soundcard? isn't that alsa's job? | 00:38 |
|---|
| f00f | angasule: kde4 has this sound architecture that wraps around alsa, that is super buggy. | 00:39 |
|---|
| angasule | phonon? | 00:39 |
|---|
| f00f | it keeps failing to recognize that my sound card actually works, whereas non-kde4 apps play just fine. | 00:39 |
|---|
| f00f | and I have an emu10k1 based card which supports hardware mixing through the linux driver, so I know that no other app can grab it. | 00:39 |
|---|
| angasule | "No suitable demux plugin. This often means that the file format is not supported." | 00:40 |
|---|
| angasule | funny, .ogg files play just fine | 00:42 |
|---|
| f00f | ahh.. maybe you need xine-ffmpeg or something like that | 00:42 |
|---|
| f00f | odd.. amorok plays mp3s just fine here | 00:43 |
|---|
| jnp3134 | anybody know how to reinstall hda-intel sound drivers on kubuntu? | 00:43 |
|---|
| lascar | !alsa | 00:43 |
|---|
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 00:43 |
|---|
| angasule | it also won't play an audio CD, which is VERY weird | 00:44 |
|---|
| f00f | !MP3 | 00:44 |
|---|
| ubotu | For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 00:44 |
|---|
| crimsun | jnp3134: depends what you've done. Normally erasing sound/ and reinstalling linux-image-$(uname -r) suffices | 00:44 |
|---|
| f00f | angasule: yeah that's weird | 00:44 |
|---|
| angasule | I installed ffmpeg, didn't change a thing | 00:44 |
|---|
| f00f | I'd apt-get purge amarok and amarox-xine and start over | 00:44 |
|---|
| postg | whicj command is right? apt-get auto remove | 00:46 |
|---|
| postg | is it? | 00:46 |
|---|
| jnp3134 | here's what I did - I had the drivers working for the hda-intel (onboard sound) and I tried to install the drivers for an echo mia sound card (pci). Now the mia works, but the onboard sound does not | 00:46 |
|---|
| crimsun | jnp3134: the drivers for the mia are included by default... | 00:47 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | i cant mount a partition... | 00:47 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | any help? | 00:47 |
|---|
| f00f | peterpan_: be more specific, file system of the partition? | 00:47 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | f00f fat32 | 00:47 |
|---|
| angasule | it didn't help | 00:47 |
|---|
| f00f | have you tried entering media:/ in the run dialog, and clicking on it to mount it? | 00:48 |
|---|
| f00f | sometimes it just works that way | 00:48 |
|---|
| jnp3134 | peterpan_: I'm new here, but have you tried going to K Menu>System Settings>>Advanced (Tab)>Disk & Filesystems? | 00:49 |
|---|
| angasule | this blows | 00:49 |
|---|
| angasule | but dinner is ready, so good night | 00:49 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | The system reported: mount: special device /dev/disk/by-label/Work does not exist | 00:50 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | jnp3134 ^ | 00:50 |
|---|
| jnp3134 | what is under the "Device" column of the partition you want to mount? | 00:52 |
|---|
| jnp3134 | peterpan_: for one of my partitions, it lists something like "/dev/sed1" | 00:53 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | jnp3134 its /dev/sda6 | 00:53 |
|---|
| jnp3134 | peterpan_: sorry - that's "/dev/sde1" | 00:53 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | sde? | 00:54 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | mine is sdA | 00:54 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | yeah, it should be sda | 00:54 |
|---|
| jnp3134 | peterpan_: sda is fine. Is anything listed under the "Mount Point" column? | 00:54 |
|---|
| f00f | there we go.. just had to restart kded | 00:54 |
|---|
| f00f | and wham! everythings back to normal! thank you everyone for helping me through this nightmare! | 00:55 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | jnp3134 i tried to mount it previously in /media/sda6Work .... it was ntfs . i changed it to fat32 . and now its not mounting.. | 00:55 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | theres nothing there right now | 00:56 |
|---|
| f00f | peterpan_: is the drive ntfs though? | 00:56 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | f00f it was.. not any more | 00:56 |
|---|
| * Daisuke_Ido smacks forehead. | 00:56 |
| peterpan_ | should i delete the existed /media/sda6work and remount it again? | 00:57 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | what's in your fstab, fat32? | 00:57 |
|---|
| f00f | 0_o you reformatted it? I hope you backed everything up...... | 00:57 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | Daisuke_Ido its still ntfs | 00:57 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | uh | 00:57 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | did you reformat the drive? | 00:57 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | f00f no. i used a utility in windows that changes file formate without formating | 00:57 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | Daisuke_Ido ^ | 00:57 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | partitionmagic | 00:57 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | yup :) | 00:57 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | okay, that's set | 00:58 |
|---|
| jnp3134 | peterpan_: you could try mounting it with "Automatic" selected instead of ntfs or fat32 | 00:58 |
|---|
| tehm0nk | does partitionmagic have a boot disk util? | 00:58 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | k | 00:58 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | fat32 isn't a valid filesystem type though. | 00:58 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | try vfat instead | 00:58 |
|---|
| Daisuke_Ido | (same thing) | 00:58 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | it choosed vfat in linux | 00:58 |
|---|
| f00f | yeah, vfat == fat32.. for the most part I think. | 00:58 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | one thing. theres a /media/sda6work folder still lying. should i delete it first and then again remount ? | 00:58 |
|---|
| philip | hey | 00:59 |
|---|
| philip | can someone help me. i can't get tomboy notes to work | 01:00 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | f00f Daisuke_Ido jnp3134 one thing. theres a /media/sda6work folder still lying. should i delete it first and then again remount ? | 01:00 |
|---|
| tuxwulf_ | What can I do about Kubuntu 7.10 not allowing me to change IP on my eth0? | 01:01 |

|---|
| bobesponja | anybody knows how to make tv-out working with i810 driver? | 01:01 |
|---|
| jnp3134 | peterpan_: I don't think you should have to delete the /media/sda6work folder, but it wouldn't hurt to do it if it is empty. | 01:01 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | its not beeing deleted | 01:03 |
|---|
| peterpan_ | f00f Daisuke_Ido jnp3134 what now? | 01:04 |
|---|
| f00f | is it mounting? | 01:04 |
|---|
| jnp3134 | peterpan_: try opening the media folder as root (right click on itfrom Dolphin (if you have it) and select Actions>Open as Root). then you should be able to delete the sda6work folder | 01:06 |
|---|
| Tm_T | vit_____: hi | 01:06 |

| Big_Love | im a windows user, what version of kubuntu should i run? | 01:36 |
|---|
| Tm_T | Big_Love: Kubuntu is not "for" Windows but replaces it (if you like) so for that matter, any | 01:37 |
|---|
| Big_Love | ah that, whould use ubuntu or kubuntu? | 01:38 |
|---|
| Big_Love | *should | 01:38 |
|---|
| Tm_T | I'd say try both | 01:38 |
|---|
| Big_Love | thanks bra | 01:39 |
|---|
| Tm_T | Big_Love: difference is only in interface mostly, but you can have both | 01:39 |
|---|
| Tm_T | so try and use the one suits you best | 01:39 |
|---|
| Big_Love | which one would u recommend for a newbie though | 01:40 |
|---|
| Big_Love | or are they both the same dificulty | 01:40 |
|---|
| Tm_T | the one they find suitable more ;) | 01:40 |
|---|
| Tm_T | they are different | 01:40 |
|---|
| Tm_T | but so are newbies | 01:40 |
|---|
| jnp3134 | adersin: I had the first (onboard) sound card working, and I installed the drivers for my 2nd sound card (PCI). Now only the 2nd sound card works and Kubuntu won't detect the 1st (onboard) | 01:41 |
|---|
| Tm_T | Big_Love: KDE (Kubuntu) has more configurations and so on, so might be too "messy" or not | 01:41 |
|---|
| Aresilek | where does one look for drivers for kubuntu, in particular graphics drivers for a intel 950 gma for a dell 6400 inspiron laptop? | 01:41 |
|---|
| Tm_T | !intel | Aresilek | 01:41 |
|---|
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about intel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 01:41 |
|---|
| Tm_T | mmmgh | 01:41 |
|---|
| Big_Love | Ty | 01:42 |
|---|
| Tm_T | Big_Love: GNOME (Ubuntu) is more "simplified" but might be too "just that" if you don't like its way of work and look | 01:42 |
|---|
| Big_Love | i c | 01:44 |
|---|
| Dragnslcr | Aresilek- the package name is xserver-xorg-video-intel | 01:44 |
|---|
| CheGuevara | and if you like to restore files from the recycle bin | 01:44 |
|---|
| CheGuevara | :P | 01:44 |
|---|
| Tm_T | Big_Love: this is how I define it, some other might put it other way | 01:44 |

| jumpkick | does anyone know a work around for dpkg-reconfigure locales causing kernel panics on AMD64? | 01:47 |
|---|
| Tm_T | jumpkick: is there bug filed in launchpad related to it? | 01:47 |
|---|
| === andreas_ is now known as tester |
| === tester is now known as testeraladfa |
| jumpkick | Tm_T: I'm not sure... I can't seem to search the bugs DB with any effectivess | 01:48 |
|---|
| Tm_T | hmmm | 01:48 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | test | 01:48 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | hello people | 01:49 |
|---|
| jumpkick | I get all kinds of results that don't look like they are related, maybe there's an advanced search form somewhere? | 01:49 |
|---|
| Tm_T | no idea | 01:49 |
|---|
| jumpkick | or maybe I should search against the locales package instead of against ubuntu | 01:49 |
|---|
| Tm_T | heh | 01:49 |
|---|
| Tm_T | that perhaps | 01:49 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | hello i have a question | 01:55 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | how can i know the server of the channel that i want to go to? | 01:55 |
|---|
| Tm_T | testeraladfa: what you mean exactly? | 01:56 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | Say i want to join #italy, how can i add the server on Konversation here in linux? | 01:56 |
|---|
| Tm_T | testeraladfa: isn't there the serverlist on menu? | 01:57 |
|---|
| Big_Love | does anyone here know any programs for a mac that is good for cracking WEP? | 01:57 |
|---|
| Tm_T | sorry I don't use Konvi so... | 01:57 |
|---|
| LjL | testeraladfa: #italy would be a channel, not a server | 01:57 |
|---|
| Big_Love | cause i just got a new mac | 01:57 |
|---|
| Big_Love | i heard Kismac is good | 01:57 |
|---|
| Big_Love | but are there any other ones? | 01:57 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | yes i know its a channel | 01:57 |
|---|
| Tm_T | Big_Love: you know that any illegal activities aren't for freenode? | 01:57 |
|---|
| LjL | testeraladfa: how do you know the server it's on... well how could we know? :) the same channel could be on many different servers (networks, actually) | 01:57 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | but do join it i have to type in the server | 01:57 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | i don't know i just guess as i am new | 01:58 |
|---|
| * flaccid coughs | 01:58 |
| LjL | testeraladfa, well how do you know about that channel, to begin with? | 01:58 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | i know about it because i used to go there in windows | 01:58 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | now i am on linux | 01:58 |
|---|
| LjL | testeraladfa: well, you need to go back to windows and find out what network you were connecting to | 01:59 |
|---|
| flaccid | you can add servers by pressing f2 in konv | 01:59 |
|---|
| LjL | there's probably an #italy channel on... just about every IRC network on earth | 01:59 |
|---|
| LjL | except possibly this one | 01:59 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | ok | 02:00 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | look | 02:00 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | it was under Undernet | 02:01 |
|---|
| flaccid | you can google that to get server addresses.. | 02:01 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | i also found a channel List here in Konversation | 02:01 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | but it doesn't let me specify the server | 02:01 |
|---|
| flaccid | a channel list != server list | 02:01 |
|---|
| LjL | testeraladfa: then google for "undernet servers", pick a server, and hit F2, "Add", add it as new network | 02:01 |
|---|
| flaccid | as LjL was saying different networks have different channels | 02:01 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | so i want the chanel list of that server | 02:01 |
|---|
| LjL | testeraladfa: uh, no, i don't think | 02:02 |
|---|
| flaccid | once you are connected to a server you can use /list to see current channels on server | 02:02 |
|---|
| LjL | you want the server list of Undernet | 02:02 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | yeah,.. | 02:02 |
|---|
| LjL | testeraladfa: http://www.undernet.org/servers.php pick the closest to you | 02:02 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | yeah but how do i get the server name in numbers? | 02:06 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | i mean not just the name of the minor, not the domain name, the actual server | 02:06 |
|---|
| flaccid | i dont think that makes sense sorry testeraladfa | 02:08 |
|---|
| flaccid | do you not have dns ? | 02:08 |
|---|
| CheGuevara | same way as on windows | 02:09 |
|---|
| CheGuevara | nlsookup | 02:09 |
|---|
| flaccid | well no | 02:10 |
|---|
| flaccid | use host or dig | 02:10 |
|---|
| CheGuevara | whats wrong with using nslookup | 02:10 |
|---|
| flaccid | but you can use nslookup | 02:10 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | ok i added a server now | 02:10 |
|---|
| flaccid | hmm i take that back sorry CheGuevara | 02:10 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | lets see if i can see the channels of that server... | 02:10 |
|---|
| Dragnslcr | I think nslookup is deprecated in favor of host/dig | 02:11 |
|---|
| flaccid | yeah thats what i thought | 02:11 |
|---|
| flaccid | but i guess it doesn't matter | 02:11 |
|---|
| flaccid | testeraladfa: once you are connected to the server. do /list | 02:11 |
|---|
| Dragnslcr | I vaguely remember a message about it when using nslookup, but I don't get one now | 02:11 |
|---|
| Dragnslcr | Maybe it wasn't on Ubuntu | 02:11 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | well | 02:12 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | i found the server | 02:12 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | i connected to the server | 02:12 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | but i can#t log in! | 02:13 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | i try to connect to another Undernet server now | 02:15 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | what is the command to connect to a channel so that i don#t have to browse all those channels in the channel list every time? | 02:16 |
|---|
| Dragnslcr | testeraladfa- /join #channel | 02:17 |
|---|
| jac0b | I am triying to setup a samba share to my winxp box. I can see and access the share but its not writable. can anyone tell me how to fix that | 02:17 |
|---|
| Dragnslcr | testeraladfa- Konversation also has a spot where you can put in channels to automatically join when you connect to a network | 02:17 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | yiap ! | 02:19 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | :) | 02:19 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | thanks a lot guys i got it to work! | 02:19 |
|---|
| flaccid | nice | 02:20 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | is there a way for someone to remotely connect to my PC now that i am in linux | 02:21 |
|---|
| mrdigital | testeraladfa: i wanna remote connect to a Windows box from linux? | 02:21 |
|---|
| mrdigital | or linux to linux or windows ot linux? | 02:21 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | because before some years on windows someone literaly HACKED into my PC and screw me | 02:21 |
|---|
| jac0b | testeralafa: ultravnc singleclick | 02:22 |
|---|
| jac0b | well for windows to linux | 02:22 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | i don't think you got what i meant | 02:23 |
|---|
| jac0b | linux to windows you gonna need a vnc server on the linux box and a vnc client on the win box | 02:23 |
|---|
| jac0b | you want to remote in right | 02:23 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | is it possible for someone to get my IP and all that stuff and hack me>? | 02:23 |
|---|
| jac0b | sure it is | 02:23 |
|---|
| Dragnslcr | testeraladfa- it depends entirely on what you have running that's listening to incoming connections | 02:24 |
|---|
| Dragnslcr | testeraladfa- you can also use a firewall and/or router to block incoming connections | 02:24 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | yeah but now that i am on linux i am supposed to be safe... isn't it? | 02:24 |
|---|
| Dragnslcr | testeraladfa- not if you do something stupid | 02:24 |
|---|
| Dragnslcr | Nothing can stop a user from installing a program that does nasty stuff | 02:25 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | yeah but the 'll probably try to install a windows program | 02:25 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | but it wont work cause i am on linux | 02:25 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | so they can't do anything.. | 02:26 |
|---|
| jac0b | how do make a samba share writable | 02:26 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | so am i right | 02:27 |
|---|
| testeraladfa | ? | 02:27 |

| sagacious | Hi, anyone around? | 02:44 |
|---|
| maduser | mabe | 02:44 |
|---|
| sagacious | Well, I need someone to help me with a problem I'm having installing programs. | 02:45 |
|---|
| maduser | with what the distro? | 02:45 |
|---|
| sagacious | Gutsy | 02:46 |
|---|
| maduser | ah | 02:46 |
|---|
| Tm_T | sagacious: you should tell more about the problem | 02:46 |
|---|
| maduser | I got the cds and did a clean install | 02:46 |
|---|
| maduser | the distro upgrade did not work for me | 02:46 |
|---|
| crweb | is there a reason Cut & Paste still leaves the file in the original place ? (Clean install, just updated) ? | 02:46 |
|---|
| sagacious | Trying to clean up the error so it doesn't line spam | 02:46 |
|---|
| Tm_T | !pastebin | sagacious | 02:46 |
|---|
| ubotu | sagacious: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 02:46 |
|---|
| maduser | !pastbin | 02:47 |
|---|
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about pastbin - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:47 |
|---|
| maduser | !pastebin | 02:47 |
|---|
| Tm_T | maduser: heads up | 02:47 |
|---|
| LjL | didn't you notice that !pastebin thing was just called a moment ago? | 02:47 |
|---|
| maduser | I spelled it wrong | 02:47 |
|---|
| sagacious | Well, this is what it says "Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source" | 02:47 |
|---|
| sagacious | It gives me this error for essentially any package. | 02:47 |
|---|
| LjL | it had been called a moment before nonetheless. | 02:47 |
|---|
| Tm_T | maduser: look more up ;) | 02:47 |
|---|
| sagacious | I've made sure that multiverse and unviverse are in the respositories, but for some reason it just keeps saying that for just about anything. | 02:48 |
|---|
| LjL | sagacious, w32codecs is neither in universe or multiverse, and i suppose the packages you're trying to install somehow depend on it | 02:49 |
|---|
| crweb | sagacious: last i remember its not in the repo | 02:49 |
|---|
| sagacious | http://www.ubuntugeek.com/install-mplayer-and-multimedia-codecs-libdvdcss2w32codecs-in-ubuntu-710-gutsy-gibbon.html | 02:49 |
|---|
| crweb | sagacious: you have to get it from metabuntu if you want to apt get it | 02:49 |
|---|
| sagacious | Was following this guide | 02:49 |
|---|
| unix_infidel | anyone here use mozbackup? | 02:49 |
|---|
| sagacious | In any case, forget about w32codecs | 02:49 |
|---|
| sagacious | It has done this for several packages | 02:49 |
|---|
| crweb | sagacious: like libdvdcss2, which also is not in the repo's | 02:49 |
|---|
| sagacious | libapache2-mod-php5, libdvdcss, and several others I cannot pick off hand. | 02:50 |
|---|
| crweb | sagacious: you have to download it separately | 02:50 |
|---|
| sagacious | Well, what happened to them? | 02:50 |
|---|
| crweb | sagacious: they are illegal to distribute in some countries. They've never been in the repo | 02:50 |
|---|
| sagacious | Why do I keep finding guides that seem to imply that they are | 02:50 |
|---|
| Dragnslcr | libapache2-mod-php5 has absolutely nothing to do with w32codecs | 02:51 |
|---|
| crweb | sagacious: it doesn't | 02:51 |
|---|
| sagacious | Of course it doesn't | 02:51 |
|---|
| crweb | sagacious: read better :) | 02:51 |
|---|
| sagacious | My problem iswn't with w32codecs | 02:51 |
|---|
| sagacious | I'm having a problem with apt | 02:51 |
|---|
| crweb | sagacious: its right there in the doc, you need to enable metabuntu | 02:51 |
|---|
| crweb | err, medibuntu | 02:51 |
|---|
| sagacious | ... | 02:52 |
|---|
| sagacious | Forget that doc, please | 02:52 |
|---|
| sagacious | I keep getting this for a LOT of stuff other than this. | 02:52 |
|---|
| sagacious | Is wine in the respository? | 02:52 |
|---|
| sagacious | Because it does it for wine as well. | 02:52 |
|---|
| crweb | just saying, if you want those packages you have to enable other things | 02:52 |
|---|
| crweb | sagacious: apt-get install wine doesn't work? | 02:52 |
|---|
| sagacious | No, it gives me the same error it did with w32codecs, but for wine | 02:53 |
|---|
| crweb | sagacious: did you apt-get update with universe enabled? | 02:53 |
|---|
| sagacious | Yep | 02:53 |
|---|
| crweb | sagacious: run, apt-cache search wine | 02:54 |
|---|
| sagacious | Yeah, it shows up when I do that, but when I try to install it, it still gives me that error. | 02:55 |
|---|
| Dragnslcr | Exactly what is the error message? | 02:57 |
|---|
| sagacious | "Package wine is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source" | 02:57 |
|---|
| miguel_ | #bios | 02:57 |
|---|
| sagacious | THough you can essentially apply that error to any package. | 02:57 |
|---|
| sagacious | Would there be anything else other than the multi-verse and universe I'd need enabled in my respositories? | 02:58 |
|---|
| crweb | sagacious: then your repo lines are incorrect probably | 02:58 |
|---|
| sagacious | Hold on, I'll pastebin my sources file | 02:59 |
|---|
| crweb | probably simple typo | 02:59 |
|---|
| sagacious | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48618/ | 03:00 |
|---|
| Law506 | how do you enable compiz? I tried opening a console and typed in compiz and it did some weird things, but didnt really enable. | 03:00 |
|---|
| crweb | sagacious: pastebin output of apt-get update | 03:01 |
|---|

|---|
| sagacious | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48619/ | 03:02 |
|---|
| Law506 | thanks | 03:02 |
|---|
| crweb | sagacious: now try apt-get -f install and then apt-get install wine | 03:06 |
|---|
| sagacious | Hmm, all right, seems to be working now. What happened? | 03:07 |
|---|
| crweb | sagacious: .. you updated the db | 03:08 |
|---|
| sagacious | I was sure that I had already done that, though. | 03:08 |
|---|
| crweb | heh, i dunno. maybe they failed | 03:08 |
|---|
| sagacious | Hmm | 03:08 |
|---|
| sagacious | :/ | 03:08 |
|---|
| crweb | maybe forgot. dunno. it happens | 03:08 |
|---|
| sagacious | Well, it was mighty confusing, that's for sure. | 03:09 |
|---|
| sagacious | Well, seems to be working. libapache2-mod-php5 installed. Though it doesn't seem to be working yet... At least that's not an issue with apt. :D | 03:10 |
|---|
| somekool | hello, my ubuntu is now trying to start a second X on tty8 and it can't ... any idea why? | 03:10 |
|---|
| jrsims | Anyone know why my screen is blurry? | 03:14 |

| jrsims | What causes this? It's like I will sign in one time, and everything will be sharp. I restart and fonts and graphics get all fuzzy. This is stupid. | 03:15 |

|---|
| neul | hi nickpresta | 03:23 |
|---|
| neul | i tried all that but it doesn't work | 03:24 |
|---|
| NickPresta | neul, "doesn't work" doesn't help us. What doesn't work? The installation? You still can't play the files? | 03:24 |
|---|
| neul | yeah sorry that is a vague answer | 03:25 |
|---|
| neul | i used apt-get and obtained a lot of files to support kubuntu but it still won't play | 03:27 |
|---|
| flaccid | what happens | 03:27 |
|---|
| flaccid | what does it say, is there an error, did it eat too much hungry jacks? | 03:27 |
|---|
| neul | haha | 03:28 |
|---|
| neul | "can't play play file, codecs missing" | 03:28 |
|---|
| flaccid | and which codec package do you have installed and which file format is this with? | 03:29 |
|---|
| neul | well I'm running feisty fawn | 03:29 |
|---|
| flaccid | also which version/release of kubuntu are you using | 03:29 |
|---|
| flaccid | have you installed the codecs as per what ubotu said? | 03:30 |
|---|
| ardchoille | neul: Which type of file doesn't work? | 03:30 |
|---|
| neul | wmv, rmv | 03:30 |
|---|
| bazhang | real player for rmvb neul | 03:31 |
|---|
| flaccid | did you install ubuntu-restricted-extras ? | 03:31 |
|---|
| neul | yeah | 03:31 |
|---|
| flaccid | or kubuntu-restirected-extras ? | 03:31 |
|---|
| neul | tons of files | 03:31 |
|---|
| flaccid | which player are you trying it in? | 03:31 |
|---|
| neul | kaffeine | 03:32 |
|---|
| flaccid | ok, so no wmv or rmv plays? | 03:32 |
|---|
| neul | yep that's right | 03:32 |
|---|
| flaccid | you might need https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu | 03:32 |
|---|
| flaccid | Some external codecs may be needed in order to play certain proprietary formats such as Apple Quicktime or RealVideo. These external codecs are available in the third-party repository of Medibuntu. | 03:33 |
|---|
| bazhang | vlc may play wmv, depending on the version | 03:33 |
|---|
| flaccid | kaffeine should play a normal wmv | 03:33 |
|---|
| bazhang | define normal | 03:33 |
|---|
| flaccid | not one that uses an extra 3rd party codec or container | 03:34 |
|---|
| neul | these are videos on a pay channel :) | 03:34 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | so i get a really strange error from the system menu - "malformed url media:/." | 03:34 |
|---|
| bazhang | windows media player cannot play some wmv's | 03:34 |
|---|
| flaccid | arrrghhh: hmm several possibles on that. you can google it | 03:34 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | flaccid: i have... and the only real solution i found was renaming "/home/<username>/.kde" to "/home/<username>/.kde_bad" - and they referred to that as a 'file' that it's recreating... yea i don't like that solution | 03:35 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | found a lot of bugs for it listed in suse | 03:36 |
|---|
| flaccid | well something in your profile is refering to the malformed URI | 03:36 |
|---|
| bazhang | sounds risky | 03:36 |
|---|
| flaccid | this is typical kde kind of stuff | 03:36 |
|---|
| su-hoens`rZ | anyone know what the max number of files rm allows is? I got this error that i've never gotten before: -bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long | 03:37 |
|---|
| neul | is the problem that you can't watch realmedia and windowsmedia video on Linux? | 03:37 |
|---|
| flaccid | neul: nope | 03:37 |
|---|
| bazhang | neul: nah | 03:37 |
|---|
| Tm_T | I can watch them just fine | 03:37 |
|---|
| neul | that's my question | 03:38 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | this is typical kde stuff... so then it should be an easy answer, yes? | 03:38 |
|---|
| bazhang | neul: you just need to get the right codecs and the best player for you and it will play | 03:38 |
|---|
| neul | tell me how | 03:38 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | neul: most wmv's if not all play on linux... realmedia is the only one i know of that isn't supported well | 03:38 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | use vlc | 03:38 |
|---|
| bazhang | I thought flaccid already did neul | 03:38 |
|---|
| Tm_T | vlc isn't answer for everything, remind you | 03:38 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | no... | 03:38 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | but it is one of the best i've found... only a couple of times did i fall back to xine or mplayer | 03:39 |
|---|
| neul | what player do you recommend | 03:39 |
|---|
| Tm_T | I recommend to try xine, mplayer, gstreamer and vlc | 03:39 |
|---|
| sagacious | In the past, I have instttalllled the K-Lite Mega Codec pack on winnne, which comes with Media Player Classic, terrific for playing real media. | 03:39 |
|---|
| * Tm_T uses KMplayer and Kaffeine mostly | 03:39 |
| arrrghhh | gstreamer is used as a backend for a lot of different programs... | 03:40 |
|---|
| sagacious | *instaleld | 03:40 |
|---|
| NickPresta | su-hoens`rZ, the error you're seeing is actually the kernel's E2BIG error code returned when the execve function is not able to fit the supplied argument list and environment into the 128K buffer. You can use find to pipe each file to `rm` one by one. | 03:40 |
|---|
| sagacious | Darn wirless keyboard, dying batteries. :/ | 03:40 |
|---|
| su-hoens`rZ | that's silly | 03:40 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | and i've never used kmplayer. kaffeine was alright, never gave it much chance tho | 03:40 |
|---|
| neul | let's assume I am stupid | 03:40 |
|---|
| su-hoens`rZ | silly silly shell | 03:40 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | neul: i swear vlc. | 03:40 |
|---|
| neul | what is that | 03:40 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | google it | 03:40 |
|---|
| bazhang | neul: did you read those links provided? | 03:41 |
|---|
| NickPresta | su-hoens`rZ, check out: http://www.moundalexis.com/archives/000035.php for some more information | 03:41 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | videolan.org | 03:41 |
|---|
| sagacious | Does anybody by chance know of a standalone .flv player for linux? | 03:41 |
|---|
| bazhang | neul: or look through ubuntuforums? | 03:41 |
|---|
| neul | yes, and installed everything | 03:41 |
|---|
| bazhang | sagacious: miro | 03:41 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | so what's the typical fix for malformed urls in kde? | 03:41 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | quite sure vlc will flv files | 03:41 |
|---|
| bazhang | it will | 03:42 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | vlc says it does, but it doesn't always | 03:42 |
|---|
| sagacious | In windows, but never has for me in linux | 03:42 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | yea it did flv better in windows... | 03:42 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | i'm beginning to not like flash in linux. | 03:42 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | gotta choose it in the file asociations in vlc | 03:42 |
|---|
| bazhang | right clikc open with vlc | 03:42 |
|---|
| neul | you guys are way over my head | 03:43 |
|---|
| NickPresta | arrrghhh, no one likes Flash outside of Windows :) | 03:43 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | uh i know how to do that | 03:43 |
|---|
| NickPresta | and mplayer plays Flash Video just fine :) | 03:43 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | lol i guess so. | 03:43 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | flash is broken on some later setups on kde | 03:43 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | mplayer, i didn't think about that for flash. | 03:43 |
|---|
| sagacious | There are a ton of standalone flash players in the respos that just segfaulted whenever I tried them. | 03:43 |
|---|
| sagacious | Wow, how did you get mplayer to play flash? | 03:43 |
|---|
| sagacious | It doesn't for me. | 03:43 |
|---|
| neul | i just want to watch some movies | 03:43 |
|---|
| NickPresta | sagacious, standard mplayer from the repos should play FLVs just fine | 03:43 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | neul: did you even look at vlc? | 03:43 |
|---|
| sagacious | .flvs and .swfs, or just one? | 03:44 |
|---|
| neul | not yet but thanx for the advice | 03:44 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | the flashplugin-nonfree used to be the one that did it all for web media like youtube , but i hear that's no longer the case | 03:44 |
|---|
| sagacious | I was trying to use mplayer to play a collectiong of .swfs I had, never seemed to work. Maybe I had an older version... | 03:44 |
|---|
| NickPresta | sagacious, mplayer can't play SWFs AFAIK (it isn't a _real_ video format, IIRC) but FLVs are fine | 03:44 |
|---|
| sagacious | Ahh, i see | 03:44 |
|---|
| sagacious | That's too bad, mplaye rwould've been perfect for it. | 03:45 |
|---|
| neul | vlc, OK | 03:45 |
|---|
| NickPresta | sagacious, well, I lie. mplayer can play swfs with videos in them (using the lavf swf demuxer) but it doesn't always work | 03:45 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | need ffmpeg codecs for mplayer to play flvs | 03:45 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | libxine1-ffmpeg | 03:46 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | yea that one. | 03:46 |
|---|
| neul | what is the best way to get "vlc" | 03:46 |
|---|
| NickPresta | neul, sudo apt-get install vlc | 03:46 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | adept | 03:46 |

| neul | oic | 03:46 |
|---|
| su-hoens`rZ | so i tried using that find thign and i still can't delete the files | 03:46 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | lol videolan.org | 03:46 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | just to spice things up | 03:47 |
|---|
| sagacious | Yeah, that sounds over my head anyway, I generally have a hard time just selecting the right audio family for mplayer. | 03:47 |
|---|
| NickPresta | su-hoens`rZ, what exactly did you do? Even a simple `ls | xargs rm` in that directory should work | 03:47 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | su-hoens`rZ: you've tried it from the command line? | 03:47 |
|---|
| su-hoens`rZ | yes? | 03:47 |
|---|
| neul | you guys are scary | 03:47 |
|---|
| su-hoens`rZ | i'm sshed in | 03:47 |
|---|
| su-hoens`rZ | NickPresta that didn't work | 03:47 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | you're scarry. su-hoens`rZ, oh i'm sorry. | 03:47 |
|---|
| NickPresta | su-hoens`rZ, same error? | 03:47 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | scary. you're right. | 03:48 |
|---|
| su-hoens`rZ | sigh | 03:48 |
|---|
| su-hoens`rZ | i got it | 03:48 |
|---|
| NickPresta | su-hoens`rZ, what was the solution? | 03:48 |
|---|
| su-hoens`rZ | i used find to remove files bit by bit | 03:48 |
|---|
| neul | i am unqualified for this channel :) | 03:48 |
|---|
| su-hoens`rZ | until i got enough of them to rm them all | 03:48 |
|---|
| NickPresta | su-hoens`rZ, ah okay | 03:48 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | shoot i was hopin my problem would be an easy fix. | 03:49 |
|---|
| su-hoens`rZ | i dunno tho | 03:49 |
|---|
| bazhang | neul: usually google and ubuntuforums can solve 90% of your problems--this is for really intractable problems | 03:49 |
|---|
| su-hoens`rZ | it seems like there should be a better way to do it | 03:49 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | su-hoens`rZ, removing files not installed by package managers : sudo rm -rf /folder/where/file/was/installed | 03:50 |
|---|
| neul | thanx bazhang.... I came on here once and the channel op said I was "stupid" | 03:51 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | that makes people want to use linux, calling the new converts stupid. | 03:51 |
|---|
| bazhang | neul: nah, just new is all--vlc and the proper codecs will do it most of the time, mplayer and kaffeine for the rest | 03:52 |
|---|
| neul | that hurt my feelings | 03:52 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | never seen any ops in here call anyone stupid especially anewb | 03:52 |
|---|
| bazhang | neul: you have to experiment with what works best for your setup--a bit of trial and error--and then stick with that; and it will vary with what hardware you are using | 03:53 |
|---|
| neul | OK "vlc" and the proper codecs | 03:54 |
|---|
| bazhang | yeah, I wonder if they were an op, that sounds really un-coc-ish | 03:54 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | the best part about linux is it gives you many options so if one doesn't work there's others that might | 03:54 |
|---|
| bazhang | so true | 03:54 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | vlc by itself should be fine i think... i guess it depends on what you're playing. | 03:54 |
|---|
| bazhang | unlike the itunes for everything method | 03:54 |
|---|
| neul | how does one obtain the codecs | 03:54 |
|---|
| sagacious | Hey, I think I have a bit of a problem. In Kubuntu, when I go to System Settings, Network Connections, and into adminstrator mode, I stilll can't edit any of the settings for my NIC. Is this because it's configured from DHCP, or is System Settings menu broken? | 03:54 |
|---|
| sagacious | I've been having to set my values by hand with route and ifconfig, but they always reset and it's beginning to become annoying. | 03:55 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | i always just use network-admin | 03:56 |
|---|
| bazhang | neul: get the win32codecs from medibuntu.org ; there are instructions there how to do it--you may want to get libdvdcss2 as well to play dvd's in your box, and then install the kubuntu-restricted-extras; that should set you up, though you may want to install realplayer as well | 03:56 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | bazhang, we'vbe had ppl in here showing off their linux chops and bragging about how they've done this nad that but aren't very helpful to ppl in need ...maybe one of those types appeared to be an op but was just grandstanding. | 03:56 |
|---|
| bazhang | so true BluesKaj | 03:56 |
|---|
| sagacious | Well, before I tended to use Webmin, but lately it seems to be breaking things or just not properly configuring them, maybe they have a new UI I don't understand. In any case, I've been trying to figure out how to set up my NIC at boot with the /etc/networking/interfaces file, but I can't find any help files for it. | 03:57 |
|---|
| neul | what is the fourth over middle C? | 03:58 |
|---|
| bazhang | not sure what you mean neul--sounds like a musical question :} | 03:58 |

|---|

| arrrghhh | i didn't create it! | 04:00 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | it's a great system, c'mon. | 04:00 |
|---|
| sagacious | I've always wished "man at tee" would work | 04:01 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | i remember reading some strange ubuntu easter eggs, and then i found out they were only gnome | 04:01 |
|---|
| neul | what is the leading tone in the key of C? | 04:01 |

|---|
| sagacious | ... | 04:04 |
|---|
| neul | and thanks for the help | 04:05 |
|---|
| sagacious | I'm so confused now. I could swear I've installed webmin out of the respositories every time I've done it, and now it's telling me it's not there again. | 04:05 |
|---|
| ardchoille | !webmin | 04:06 |
|---|
| ubotu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system | 04:06 |
|---|
| neul | i'm just bitter because I can't see my gf's video :( | 04:06 |
|---|
| sagacious | Hmm | 04:07 |
|---|
| sagacious | Well, that explains a lot lately. | 04:07 |
|---|
| sagacious | That's also very disappointing, I really liked webmin. | 04:07 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | http://arrrghhh.gotdns.com/snapshot1.png | 04:07 |
|---|
| sagacious | Well, I've been noticing lately that every time I do something in webmin, it doesn't do what I expected. So I'm begining to think maybe it's just not working correctly with Gutsy anymore, and that seems to support it. :( | 04:08 |
|---|
| neul | thanks for the advice, I will try this "vlc" | 04:08 |

| arrrghhh | you can't put the command in quotes? | 04:29 |
|---|
| BrOSs- | they gave me this answer.. | 04:30 |
|---|
| BrOSs- | Edit both files and remove the "-" (dash) from in front of "laptop". It isn't a valid character in a hostname. (at least it causes a lot of trouble) You will need to start your editor with sudo in order to have permission to save your changes. Once you have finished with your edits, you will need to logout and reboot. | 04:30 |
|---|
| BrOSs- | my hostmname is "-laptop" | 04:30 |

| ardchoille | BrOSs-: Oh, hostname? Have a look at /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname | 04:34 |

| BrOSs- | how can I edit that If I don't have root privilage | 04:35 |

| Dr_willis | for a hard drive mount like that. I always make a directory on the filesystem (ie on hda4) named like /media/hda4/THEUSERSNAMESTORAGE | 05:22 |
|---|
| asdfasdfasd | yeah it mounted Dr_willis | 05:22 |
|---|
| posingaspopular | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48625/ anyone know how to fix this virtualbox issue in kubuntu gutsy? | 05:22 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | then just link that dir to the users home someplace. | 05:22 |
|---|
| bazhang | scottman_: one of the developers is here sometimes, so yes | 05:22 |
|---|
| scottman_ | kopete is the instant messenger for kde. | 05:22 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | when mounting a whole filesystem that way. I am not sure how you make the 'root' of the filesystem owned by the user. | 05:22 |
|---|
| flaccid | asdfasdfasd: if you specify the user option, you don't need to use sudo | 05:22 |
|---|
| flaccid | scottman_: i was reffering to the 'stuff' | 05:22 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Of coruse my way also keeps the lost+found dir out of the users dir. :) | 05:22 |
|---|
| scottman_ | oh | 05:22 |
|---|
| scottman_ | well, here is the issue. | 05:23 |
|---|
| scottman_ | I'd like to use the webcam and sound. | 05:23 |
|---|
| flaccid | Dr_willis: you just specify user option and chown the mount point and optionally specify mask options | 05:23 |
|---|
| scottman_ | is that supported in kopoete? | 05:23 |
|---|
| flaccid | yes scottman_ | 05:23 |
|---|
| flaccid | it of course depends on the support of the webcam and sound devices | 05:23 |
|---|
| scottman_ | when I plug in the webcam and test it, I get a blue screen. | 05:23 |
|---|
| flaccid | !webcam | scottman_ | 05:23 |
|---|
| ubotu | scottman_: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras | 05:23 |
|---|
| flaccid | check the support ^ | 05:23 |
|---|
| scottman_ | oooh. cool. | 05:24 |
|---|
| scottman_ | brb. | 05:24 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | flaccid, you SURE that works? i know for vfat/ntfs you can/have to set that stuff.. BUT for ext3..it does support owner/permissions. | 05:24 |
|---|
| flaccid | it differs depending on the filesystem | 05:24 |
|---|
| flaccid | ntfs of course is dif masks as well | 05:25 |
|---|
| scottman_ | thanks. | 05:25 |
|---|
| flaccid | for vfat and ext* its straight forward | 05:25 |

| earl_ | trying to install flash. when i do sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree i get the following error message: http://pastebin.com/m6db9ecce | 05:25 |
|---|
| scooter_ | ok this is still not working | 05:25 |
|---|
| scooter_ | it says i cant mkdir | 05:25 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | i dont recall chmoding the mount point ever doing anything. :) but i havent tried lately. | 05:25 |
|---|
| scooter_ | and the binary it says to save says its corrupt | 05:26 |
|---|
| flaccid | show us the entry in fstab and the entry int the output of mount and ls -l /mount/point | 05:26 |
|---|
| flaccid | Dr_willis: user option required, nouser is default | 05:26 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | of coruse if the ect3 partition is to be mounted at boot time.. whats the need for the user option? | 05:26 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | or is it a removeable drive? | 05:27 |
|---|
| flaccid | yeah possibly is for the user only like that | 05:27 |
|---|
| earl_ | no one has any idea...? | 05:27 |
|---|
| flaccid | could even be for a system user that runs a daemon on some external device that is mounted. lots of special applications | 05:27 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | I recall issues in the past moving ext3 filesystems/disks from disrto to disrto or machien to machine. :) in that the permissions/ownerships often get messed up. | 05:27 |
|---|
| earl_ | if i apt-get remove it and repeat it just does the same thing... | 05:27 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | flash has some issues here lately. | 05:28 |

| dev_null | I have feisty and i'm trying to mount a linux NFS system. I am getting an error of 'eth0: no IPv6 routers present'. What could I be missing? | 05:29 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | thats just a warning isent it about the ipv6? | 05:29 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Not an actual error? I recall seeing that also. but never had issues with it. | 05:29 |
|---|
| flaccid | did you follow the !nfs | 05:30 |
|---|
| dev_null | mount: special device //<ip>:<path> does not exist | 05:30 |
|---|
| dev_null | is the error message | 05:30 |
|---|
| dev_null | whats !nfs | 05:31 |
|---|
| flaccid | !nfs | 05:31 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. whats the exact line you are using to mount it? | 05:31 |
|---|
| ubotu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 05:31 |
|---|
| dev_null | sudo mount -t nfs <ip>:<path> /mnti | 05:32 |
|---|
| === narg_ is now known as narg |
| Dr_willis | You are using the actual Ip# and path? | 05:32 |
|---|
| dev_null | yes | 05:32 |
|---|
| dev_null | i removed them to post them here | 05:32 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | you would NOT belive the times ive seen people not understand the use of mount /example/thing/here :) | 05:33 |
|---|
| dev_null | understood | 05:33 |
|---|
| dev_null | sudo mount -t nfs 192.168.11.53:/disk1/User/brad /mnt/yeti | 05:34 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | The mount point does exist dont it? | 05:34 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | /mnt/yeti does exist? | 05:34 |
|---|
| dev_null | i think the problem may be in that link you posted | 05:35 |
|---|
| dev_null | I am installing portmap now | 05:35 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | Yep - portmap is needed I recall :) | 05:35 |
|---|
| dev_null | ./mnt/yeti does exist as a dir | 05:35 |

| sn00zer | whenever i use the kde sound system for anything (login sound, konqueror sound preview) there is a long delay and in konqueror the window goes grey for a few seconds, this only started with a recent reboot, another reboot didn't fix it, does anyone know what causes this? | 05:35 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | thats one of the better done howto's ive seen :) | 05:35 |
|---|
| dev_null | yeah | 05:36 |
|---|
| dev_null | I have gotten further now, I may be able to get it from there | 05:36 |
|---|
| dev_null | thanks | 05:36 |
|---|
| dev_null | let me try thuis | 05:36 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | sn00zer: you probably have a hardware issue, check dmesg and see. | 05:38 |
|---|
| sn00zer | arrrghhh: what should i be looking for exactly? i haven't changed anything | 05:39 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | sn00zer: this just started happening out of nowhere? you didn't add any new hardware, change how sound is rendered, etc? i'm assuming you're still using alsa? | 05:40 |
|---|
| sn00zer | arrrghhh: i installed an app or two, changed some volume levels in alsaconfig, but its the same hardware, just shut it down, moved from dorm room to home, booted up and now sound previews and login sound lags horribly, and yes, using alsa | 05:42 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | so when you go to system settings -> sound system, hardware tab what is selected for "select the audio device"? | 05:43 |
|---|
| sn00zer | arrrghhh: advanced linux sound architecture | 05:44 |
|---|
| dev_null | is there a parm so I can pass a username and password to mount? | 05:44 |
|---|
| dev_null | i don't see one in man | 05:44 |
|---|
| sn00zer | arrrghhh: it was auto-detect but i switched it to alsa to see if it helped | 05:44 |
|---|
| Tm_T | dev_null: it's mounted as user its mounted | 05:44 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | hrm. and you don't have any weird settings on that page? i have autodetect and nothing else filled out except for the midi section. | 05:45 |
|---|
| sn00zer | arrrghhh: none of the boxes are checked | 05:45 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | have you tried disabling the sound system or did you change any settings like process priority or auto-suspend? | 05:45 |
|---|
| sn00zer | arrrghhh: no, would i need to reboot if i disable and re-enable? | 05:46 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | uhm i don't know... at least an x-server restart but you might need to restart the whole system to really test it... | 05:47 |
|---|
| dev_null | so I can't mount it with different credentials | 05:47 |
|---|
| sn00zer | arrrghhh: ok, i'll try that real quick | 05:48 |
|---|
| dev_null | failed, reason given by server: Permission denied | 05:48 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | so anyone know much about malformed url errors within kde? | 05:48 |
|---|
| hagabaka | what about them? | 05:49 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | someone said it was a 'common issue' but i haven't found a fix other than renaming the .kde directory and letting kde regenerate a new one... i don't like that solution | 05:49 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | well when i click on the system menu to anything except 'home' i get a malformed url error | 05:49 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | http://arrrghhh.gotdns.com/snapshot2.png | 05:49 |

| arrrghhh | yea i don't get it. just started happening out of the blue. one thing that pisses me off about linux, random little things that break that don't make sense. like klipper... and this. | 05:54 |
|---|
| Tm_T | arrrghhh: atleast these can be debugged (usually) | 05:55 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | i'd love to figure out how to get some terminal output or log from this! | 05:55 |
|---|
| ardchoille | arrrghhh: Try this in a terminal and see if there is anyting: kfmclient exec .local/share/applications/kde-kate.desktop | 05:57 |

|---|
| ardchoille | arrrghhh: ok try: kfmclient exec .local/share/applications/kde-konqbrowser.desktop | 05:58 |
|---|
| sn00zer | arrrghhh: just now heard login sound | 05:59 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | same | 05:59 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | sn00zer: is it still wonky? | 05:59 |
|---|
| sn00zer | arrrghhh: yes | 05:59 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | and the sound is off | 05:59 |
|---|
| sn00zer | arrrghhh: no, back to auto detect | 06:00 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | sn00zer: you might have a look at your dmesg output.. i'm not an expert on that stuff tho. | 06:00 |
|---|
| ardchoille | arrrghhh: DO you have anything in ~/.local/share/applications ? | 06:00 |
|---|
| sn00zer | arrrghhh: should i increase the sound system priority? | 06:01 |

| ardchoille | arrrghhh: ok try: kfmclient exec .local/share/applications/kde-knotes.desktop | 06:03 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | sn00zer: seems like the default, that's what mine's set at... what about the auto-suspend? | 06:03 |
|---|
| sn00zer | arrrghhh if idle after 60 seconds | 06:03 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | ardchoille: it opened a blank new note in knotes which was already running. | 06:04 |
|---|
| ardchoille | arrrghhh: No errors? | 06:04 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | sn00zer: beats me... that's very strange. there's gotta be a way to disable it. | 06:04 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | ardchoille: it went to the next line with no output whatsoever... | 06:05 |
|---|
| sn00zer | arrrghhh ok, thanks, i'll spend some more time with google | 06:05 |
|---|
| ardchoille | arrrghhh: Ok, that was a test hoping for something related to your malformed url problem. | 06:05 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | sn00zer: just curious, what happens when you click 'test sound' on that system settings page | 06:05 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | ardchoille: the only time i can reproduce it is when i go to that system menu. | 06:06 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Ah, ok | 06:06 |
|---|
| sn00zer | arrrghhh: nothing | 06:06 |
|---|
| sn00zer | wait, there it is | 06:06 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | it just took a while? | 06:07 |
|---|
| sn00zer | arrrghhh: there's about 20 seconds of delay | 06:07 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | ardchoille: do you know where that system menu references the location to go to? that seems to be the issue. | 06:10 |
|---|
| arrrghhh | sn00zer: that's a strange problem... with nothing in dmesg i don't know. i'd analyze what has changed since the sound last worked. | 06:11 |

| sigma_ | ardchoille: which service menu is it at that link? | 07:31 |
|---|
| sigma_ | llutz: ok let me give it a try | 07:31 |
|---|
| sigma_ | llutz: ok thats a rather big download, is there anything that integrates into konqueror? i see krusader is a file manager on its own | 07:32 |
|---|
| llutz | sigma_: just use mount -o loop ... | 07:33 |
|---|
| sigma_ | so the command would be "mount -o isoname.iso" ? | 07:34 |

| Tm_T | Eldaria_away: noooooooo | 07:44 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | ninjagambit: You see each chunk has a hash, so ktorrent can verify if the data is correct. You need the whole chunk to verify this hash. When a chunk is downloading ktorrent adds those bytes to the number downloaded. So when ktorrent detects that the hash doesn't match, ktorrent has to subtract the size of the chunk from the downloaded amount. | 07:44 |

| ardchoille | dany: I'm here. What's up? | 08:16 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | seems like if apple was going to put a video up to promote a product they would allow you to download it faster than 5kbs | 08:16 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | sence it is a 381MB file | 08:17 |
|---|
| Lynoure | ninjagambit: Are you suspecting some problem in your connection then? | 08:18 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | no | 08:18 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | nothing wrong with it | 08:18 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | everything else is working fine | 08:19 |
|---|
| Lynoure | ok, just checking if you needed support :) | 08:19 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | you could tell me what all the hits on firestarter mean | 08:19 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | in events? | 08:20 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | the red icon shows up when firestarter has blocked something | 08:20 |
|---|
| Lynoure | ninjagambit: sure, give a bit more detail on what kind of hits you are getting. I normally use plain iptables, myself | 08:21 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | yeah | 08:23 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | i get that every few seconds | 08:23 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | exept it turns red and the events list is full of random ip with destination 192.168.0.2 | 08:24 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | is that normal | 08:24 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | what ports? | 08:25 |
|---|
| dany | ardchoille: I find out reading how to upgrade my kubuntu 6.06 to 7.04 but im not sure if what Im doing is correct.. haha | 08:26 |
|---|
| dany | may I tell u what I did? | 08:26 |
|---|
| dany | do you know the process? | 08:26 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | 55393 , 41799 , 44288 , 35769, | 08:26 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | and alot more | 08:26 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | but most in those ranges | 08:26 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | ninjagambit: welcome to the internet | 08:28 |
|---|
| Lynoure | ninjagambit: those are the ports on your system or the ports on the remote systems? Or are both the source and destination in those ranges? | 08:29 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | Tm_T: any solutions? | 08:30 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | or results? | 08:30 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | dosnt say | 08:31 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | ports on mine that are blocked | 08:31 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | i guess | 08:31 |
|---|
| ardchoille | !upgrade | dany You should read this | 08:32 |
|---|
| ubotu | dany You should read this: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 08:32 |

| kamal | llutz: did not get an answer at #ubuntu.. a friend suggested me to reboot and set a root password in recovery mode and use that to set back the time.. couldn't get into recovery mode but just a restart solved the timestamp problem.. | 08:32 |
|---|
| dany | ardchoille: I already did | 08:33 |
|---|
| dany | ardchoille: there is just about ubuntu | 08:33 |

| ninjagambit | like what does 18.40.83.202.asianet.co.in mean | 08:34 |
|---|
| Lynoure | ninjagambit: Could be pretty much anything then. | 08:34 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | they trying to attack my pc | 08:34 |
|---|
| Lynoure | ninjagambit: that's a hostname. | 08:34 |
|---|
| ardchoille | dany: Hmm.. I was sure there were Kuubntu instructions there. I don't do upgrades, so I can' thelp much with it. | 08:35 |
|---|
| Lynoure | ninjagambit: What makes you think it's a targeted attack? What are they doing? | 08:35 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | nothing firestarter keeps poping up with all of this | 08:35 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | it might be from ktorrent | 08:36 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | but the ports are wrong | 08:36 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | am i correct | 08:36 |
|---|
| dany | ardchoille: no problem.. | 08:36 |
|---|
| ninjagambit | ? | 08:36 |
|---|
| Lynoure | ninjagambit: if 192.168.0.2 is your local range ip, and you have a full forward to that from your natted public address (which keeps on changing), you can get stuff that looks scary, though actually it was just something legal meant for the previous holder of that ip | 08:36 |
|---|
| dany | ardchoille: if my theory doesn't works.. i'll come back for ur help | 08:37 |
|---|
| jussi01 | dany: there are kubuntu notes here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades#head-3692aaaed415e3427f54ec62dd8659474516b525 | 08:37 |

| ninjagambit | they wouldnt get much | 08:38 |
|---|
| ardchoille | dany: I don't think I'll be much help because I've never done any upgrades | 08:38 |
|---|
| Lynoure | ninjagambit: well, in a way there is, after any ip, much of the time. | 08:38 |
|---|
| Lynoure | ninjagambit: most tools go after c-net at a time. | 08:39 |
|---|
| dany | ardchoille: i mean.. i'll need ur help in order to reinstall my system if something goes wrong | 08:40 |
|---|
| ardchoille | dany: Oh, ok. | 08:40 |
|---|
| dany | ardchoille: haha | 08:40 |

| Lynoure | ninjagambit: there is so much random knocking that the only thing getting alerted every time does is raises you blood pressure. | 08:40 |

| Stevethepirate | Tm_T: any progress/ solutions for my wifi card? | 08:40 |
|---|

| Lynoure | I can see reasons for wanting to run Norton on Wine, by the way. E.g. if one wants to support it for Windows user but does not get any closer to Windows than absolutely necessary | 09:16 |

| CrypTom | Hi all: I would like to use java 2 micro edition on kubuntu. I've already installed the sun-java6 packages. Is there a deb package for microedition? | 09:56 |
|---|
| finek | CrypTom: maybe in multiverse | 09:58 |
|---|
| CrypTom | finek: I've added the multiverse repo, but theres no sign of the micro edition... at least, its not called sun-java6-me or similar | 09:58 |

|---|
| CrypTom | Jay-Oh-En: edit /boot/grub/menu.list and remove "quiet" and "splash" | 10:07 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Jay-Oh-En: Edit /boot/grub/menu.lst with "kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst" and remove the word "splash" from your kernel line. | 10:07 |

| jussi01 | oh, hangg on | 10:17 |
|---|
| FSHero | jussi01: Hehe, thanks, but I already know how to do that :) | 10:18 |
|---|
| jussi01 | FSHero: you need to get it mounted like that, then use !samba to give him access to the mount point. | 10:18 |
|---|
| jussi01 | !samba | 10:18 |

| ubotu | samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT | 10:18 |

|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | ardchoille: did you read it | 10:20 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Jay-Oh-En: You've removed the splash, good job. Are you sure your /dev/sda1 device is no longer in the machine? | 10:20 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | yes | 10:21 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | i took the sata out and cause it was 200gb | 10:21 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | then i put in a 500gb ide | 10:21 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | im going to put in the sata again to use it for extra storage for movies | 10:21 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Jay-Oh-En: Then you can remove lines 154 - 180 | 10:22 |

| Jay-Oh-En | i made a backup of my old grub with this command | 10:23 |
|---|
| FSHero | The link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently describes mounting Windows shares into Kubuntu. How do I do this the other way round? I.e. export a folder in Kubuntu to my Windows Vista computer so that any user in Vista can read/write to the folder? | 10:24 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | sudo cp /the/place/where/grubs/loacted.lst /the/place/where/grubs/loacted.backup | 10:24 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | is that right (but with the right location) | 10:24 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Jay-Oh-En: That made a backup, but I feel it's best to keep the filename.ext: sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup | 10:25 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | that is exactly the commands i did ardchoille | 10:26 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Good job :) | 10:26 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | what if i wanted to bring the backup back sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.backup /boot/grub/menu.lst | 10:26 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | and can i remove other operating systems from grub also | 10:27 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | ardchoille: | 10:28 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Jay-Oh-En: You'd first want to move the current menu.lst out of the way: sudo mv /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.temp && sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst | 10:28 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Jay-Oh-En: You'd first want to move the current menu.lst out of the way: sudo mv /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.temp && sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup /boot/grub/menu.lst | 10:30 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Sorry | 10:30 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | lol | 10:30 |

|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | a backup | 10:30 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | and the current one | 10:30 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | ok thanks | 10:30 |
|---|
| ardchoille | Jay-Oh-En: You just want to make sure you don't lose anything. you can always delete files later when everything is the way you want it. | 10:30 |

| johan__ | flaccid? | 11:33 |
|---|
| flaccid | yes but you must use pastebin | 11:34 |
|---|
| flaccid | !pastebin | johan__ | 11:34 |
|---|
| ubotu | johan__: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 11:34 |

| Jay-Oh-En | alot of africans use linux. is its because its free? | 12:07 |
|---|
| johan__ | ActionParsnip: take it slowly here lol.. add it where? | 12:07 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | johan__, wireless-essid XXXXXXX | 12:08 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | johan__, add it below the inet wlan0 stuff | 12:08 |

|---|
| * ActionParsnip hates vista | 12:08 |
| flaccid | sorry johan looking now | 12:08 |
|---|
| johan__ | and i suppose my ssid (SMC) goes in place of the XXXXXXX ? | 12:09 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | Although DX10 is not possibly native for linux, can one get HD output from a HD movie on linux ? | 12:09 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | johan__, yeah | 12:09 |
|---|
| flaccid | johan__: take out last two lines, reboot and you will have user knetworkmanager back | 12:09 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | johan__, if you look at that site you'll get a flavour of what you should have | 12:09 |
|---|
| johan__ | johan__ hates windoze | 12:09 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | johan__, once you've added it all save and exit then reboot | 12:09 |
|---|
| johan__ | ok wait, gettin conflicting info here, flaccid say remove, ActionParsnip say add... confused | 12:10 |
|---|
| flaccid | indeed | 12:10 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | johan__, I'm getting you to manually config your wifi | 12:10 |
|---|
| johan__ | can i use a lifeline? | 12:11 |
|---|
| johan__ | lol | 12:11 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | johan__, if this doesnt work we'll remove the lines | 12:11 |
|---|
| flaccid | the scanning will come back in knetworkmanager after you have done what i suggested | 12:11 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | johan__, but manual config seems to make stuff work :D | 12:11 |
|---|
| flaccid | you may not need to reboot if you restart network/manager | 12:11 |
|---|
| flaccid | nah its because wpa_supplicant & networkmanager | 12:11 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | flaccid, just makes it easier than ifup / ifdown for newsb | 12:11 |
|---|
| johan__ | ok, lets do the "may not resboot" one first..... | 12:12 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | flaccid, is that what that is? | 12:12 |
|---|
| flaccid | no manual configuration is required ActionParsnip with knetworkmanager. the last two lines are taking out the scanning | 12:12 |
|---|
| johan__ | remove the last 2 lines of which one? | 12:12 |
|---|
| * ActionParsnip hands over to flaccid | 12:12 |
| ActionParsnip | I just prefer to manually configure so I know its right :) | 12:13 |
|---|
| flaccid | see /etc/network/interfaces is a bit more complex for wpa and takes out your scanning | 12:13 |
|---|
| flaccid | well you know its right with secure wireless if you get to the ip config stage of knetworkmanager | 12:13 |
|---|
| johan__ | take out last 2 lines of interfaces? | 12:13 |
|---|
| flaccid | last 2 stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces johan__ | 12:13 |
|---|
| * Jay-Oh-En likes to manually configure also since his static ip setup doesn't work very well with knetworkmanager | 12:13 |
| ActionParsnip | flaccid, he has no security :) | 12:14 |
|---|
| flaccid | take out iface wlan0 inet dhcp and auto wlan0 | 12:14 |
|---|
| flaccid | thats only 1 access point | 12:14 |
|---|
| johan__ | ActionParsnip: dont need security on wireless at the mo | 12:14 |
|---|
| flaccid | and no security is not a good practice | 12:14 |

|---|
| johan__ | exactly, and hes got no computer | 12:15 |

| johan__ | its bad practise i know, but hey | 12:16 |
|---|
| * johan__ gonna remove 2 lines now | 12:16 |
| flaccid | anyway you can /etc/init.d/networking restart after that | 12:16 |
|---|
| johan__ | ok, no permission 2 change. where i change 2 give write permission? | 12:18 |
|---|
| flaccid | do a kdesu kate /etc/network/interfaces | 12:18 |

|---|
| johan__ | ok managed 2 change, now? | 12:20 |
|---|
| flaccid | [23:16] <flaccid> anyway you can /etc/init.d/networking restart after that | 12:21 |
|---|
| johan__ | command in terminal? | 12:21 |
|---|
| flaccid | //etc/init.d/networking restart | 12:21 |
|---|
| flaccid | /etc/init.d/networking restart | 12:21 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | flaccid, does that require sudo? | 12:21 |
|---|
| flaccid | yeah | 12:21 |
|---|
| flaccid | sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 12:22 |
|---|

| * ActionParsnip looks cute and makes a "wants coffee noise" | 12:23 |
| * genii slides ActionParsnip a large strong coffee | 12:23 |
| * ActionParsnip looks mega happy | 12:23 |
| * Jay-Oh-En dumps sugar in it | 12:23 |
| flaccid | that might right | 12:23 |
|---|
| johan__ | so now? | 12:24 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | cat grats > /usr/genii | 12:24 |
|---|
| flaccid | might be right. now restart knetworkmanager | 12:24 |
|---|
| genii | unknown interface means it's not in the /etc/network/interfaces file | 12:24 |
|---|
| johan__ | in gui? | 12:24 |
|---|
| flaccid | right click on it and see if it can see the networks now | 12:24 |

|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | flaccid: only a little | 12:25 |
|---|
| * ActionParsnip still thinks manual config is better | 12:25 |
| Jay-Oh-En | flaccid: jk | 12:25 |
|---|
| * Jay-Oh-En thinks ActionParsnip | 12:25 |
| flaccid | a manual config would defeat the whole purpose of the networking implementation by ubuntu | 12:26 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | is right | 12:26 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | flaccid: then can you help me? | 12:26 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | :] | 12:26 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | flaccid, the implementation is simple but the actual file itself is so easy to manually edit. I can see your point though | 12:26 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | flaccid: ah never mind ill stick to my manual setup | 12:26 |
|---|
| Johan___ | ok, this is on wifi | 12:27 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | Johan___: nice | 12:27 |
|---|
| flaccid | well wireless is a user thing not a root thing usually... particularl when its a notebook for example | 12:27 |
|---|
| Johan___ | thanks alot...... but what wouldve caused thar? | 12:27 |
|---|
| flaccid | those two lines | 12:27 |
|---|
| flaccid | its a long story why... | 12:28 |
|---|
| Johan___ | yeah i know, but which app put them there? | 12:28 |
|---|
| * Jay-Oh-En needs some coffee and sugar and milk :] | 12:28 |
| flaccid | could of been the manual config in kde or system settings or kcontrol or wherever... | 12:28 |
|---|
| * genii puts a dab of coffee into Jay-Oh-En's milk and sugar and hands it to him | 12:28 |
| Johan___ | which brings me 2 my second prob.. sound disappeared!!! :'( | 12:29 |
|---|
| Johan___ | envy24 | 12:29 |
|---|
| flaccid | the reason why it doesn't scan is because its been set explicit in the network interfaces, but wireless requires association so it can't get to the ip config stage. there is a few other reasons too. imo it should still scan and overide if user has perms to the iface | 12:29 |

| flaccid | d0zer: you have dapper in your repos... | 13:19 |

| Jay-Oh-En | !kdm login manager | 13:22 |

| flaccid | in that case what you do is log out to kdm. then goto say alt+f2 then login, then issue sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop to stop the service then go back to tty then start it manually like this: /usr/bin/kdm -config /var/run/kdm/kdmrc | 13:23 |
|---|
| dfaure | ctrl+alt+f2, otherwise all you get with alt+f2 is minicli :) | 13:23 |

|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | i have it open | 14:17 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | ok, scroll down to the [X Greeter] tag or whatever | 14:18 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | yep | 14:18 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | and go down to Theme=@@ | 14:18 |
|---|
| flaccid | i got it working | 14:18 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | Theme=@@@ToBeReplacedByDesktopBase@@@ | 14:18 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | your going to put Theme=/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/LoveKDE/ | 14:18 |
|---|
| flaccid | by manual. not sure exactly how. how to specify the xml file in the kdm config and not just the dir i think... | 14:18 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | UseBackground=true | 14:19 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | UserCompletion=false | 14:19 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | UserList=true | 14:19 |
|---|
| flaccid | i mean i had to specify xml config file explicitly, not the theme dir | 14:19 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | hrm, it worked for me just using the dir | 14:19 |
|---|
| flaccid | i started kdm manual going to see if it works with init.d now | 14:19 |
|---|
| flaccid | i think it could be this sweden theme maybe | 14:19 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | let me restart X | 14:19 |
|---|
| flaccid | brb | 14:19 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | Jay-Oh-En: no | 14:19 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | heh | 14:19 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | didnt work | 14:20 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | sub[t]rnl: didnt work | 14:20 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | yeah cause we weren't done | 14:20 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | oh hehe | 14:20 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | ok open file again? | 14:20 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | kdmrc | 14:21 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | you need to add in -> UseTheme=True under the Theme=/usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/whateverthemedir/ | 14:21 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | now restart X | 14:22 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | ? | 14:22 |
|---|
| flaccid | ok that works. so now the test is to see if the overrides work again by changing to a dif theme with kdmtheme | 14:22 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | Jay-Oh-En: yup | 14:22 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | it couldnt open the theme | 14:23 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | or dir | 14:23 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | make sure you gave it the correct directory | 14:23 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | in kdmrc | 14:23 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | lets start over | 14:24 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | with thise file newtux.tar.gz | 14:24 |
|---|
| flaccid | ok restart x more time. if it goes back to original kubuntu theme then the overrides in /etc/default/kdm.d fail.. | 14:25 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | nvm | 14:25 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | how do you rename in console | 14:26 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | mv | 14:26 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | didnt work | 14:27 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | sub[t]rnl: this is the name of the folder LoveKDE_KDM Theme-0.1 | 14:29 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | how do i rename that | 14:29 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | thats the name of the folder in /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/ ? | 14:29 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | yes | 14:29 |
|---|
| veein | ? | 14:29 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | i did cd to that dir | 14:29 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | no what | 14:29 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | now* | 14:29 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | sudo mv LoveKDE(then hit tab) nameitwhatever | 14:30 |
|---|
| flaccid | ok so doing it explicit in the config file works, the overrides fail! | 14:31 |
|---|
| flaccid | i guess we could research why that is because it means that kdmtheme doesn't work - it doesn't load /etc/defaults/kdm.d/* | 14:31 |
|---|
| flaccid | but i can't be bothered to find out or look at log/output | 14:32 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | hrm | 14:32 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | IT WORKED | 14:32 |
|---|
| flaccid | yerp, but its stupid that the overrides fail. | 14:33 |
|---|
| * sub[t]rnl nods | 14:33 |
| flaccid | how annoying | 14:33 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | flaccid: we should just redo kdmtheme sometime | 14:33 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | one weekend | 14:33 |
|---|
| flaccid | kdmtheme is fine | 14:33 |
|---|
| flaccid | it creates the correct config file /etc/defaults/kdm.d | 14:33 |
|---|
| flaccid | in there | 14:33 |
|---|
| flaccid | but they are not included... | 14:33 |
|---|
| flaccid | could be a case of ubuntu breaking debian.. | 14:34 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | the background in konqueror is black how do i change to white | 14:35 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | flaccid: hrm, yeah. I see the kdm.d settings changing as expected | 14:35 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | and how do i untar a .tar.gz | 14:36 |
|---|
| flaccid | yeah its sad | 14:36 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | tar zxvf | 14:36 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | flaccid: agreed | 14:36 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | so what are they going to do to fix it | 14:36 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | ? | 14:36 |
|---|
| === jussi01 is now known as jussio1 |
| sub[t]rnl | black magic! | 14:36 |
|---|
| flaccid | that true-nature kdm theme is nice | 14:36 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | thats what! | 14:36 |
|---|
| flaccid | well you can submit a bug on launchpad and then that will probably be cross-referenced with another bug report or something | 14:37 |
|---|
| * sub[t]rnl nods | 14:38 |
| sub[t]rnl | i use ichigo as a backdrop to my login theme. Then it goes to the finger print scan ksplash | 14:38 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | http://subtrnl.homelinux.com/ichigo.jpg | 14:38 |
|---|
| flaccid | nice | 14:39 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | txya | 14:39 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | ok, i need some coffee after this madness that is login themes... | 14:40 |
|---|
| flaccid | im dual display with new dell 24in widescreen and notebook and desktop | 14:40 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | i wish the kdmtheme tool worked so i didnt have to change them like this everytime | 14:40 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | flaccid: oh nice |
|---|
