| nando | alguien habla español aqui? | 03:14 |
|---|
| yotux | dwidmann: I also have some kdeinit that are sleeping | 03:14 |
|---|
| dwidmann | Hmm, yotux, perhaps the easiest way to do it would be to log out, restart the xserver, then try again ..... that's the only thing I can think of that would be surefire...ish | 03:15 |

| yotux | dwidmann: I like kde but don't like kmail, I have started to use evolution quite a bit could I install kubuntu and install evolution in kde? | 03:16 |

| yurimxpxman | I'm running gutsy x86_64. Amarok won't play my OGG files I ripped via konqueror. Any ideas? I have libxine1-ffmpeg installed.. | 05:03 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | sub[t]rnl: is executable? | 05:04 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | yurimxpxman: can you launch the files from inside konqueror with amarok? | 05:05 |
|---|
| yurimxpxman | sub[t]rnl: when I double click it, it opens with amarok, but amarok says there's no suitable codec for it. It's able to play mp3s just fine | 05:06 |

| posingaspopular | i duno, sudo apt-get purge foresight maybe? | 05:12 |

|---|
| posingaspopular | ;p | 05:12 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | posingaspopular: ? | 05:12 |
|---|
| posingaspopular | ask someone who actually uses the distro, i haven't gotten it to work in VM properly | 05:12 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | I had to use "feh" to set my default wallpaper, which allowed conky to do transparency with compiz fusion | 05:13 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | posingaspopular: this is kubuntu channel im guessing everyody in here uses kde | 05:13 |
|---|
| yurimxpxman | sub[t]rnl: is there any way to use gstreamer or mplayer as the engine instead of xine? | 05:13 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | Jay-Oh-En: read that link you gave me a few moments ago, go through it all, it will tell you | 05:13 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | sub[t]rnl: ight | 05:13 |

| sub[t]rnl | yurimxpxman: not that I'm aware of | 05:14 |

| Jay-Oh-En | cant k3b | 05:39 |

| Jay-Oh-En | sub[t]rnl: nope | 05:42 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | thnaks | 05:42 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | if it isn't transparent, hollar at me | 05:44 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | it isnt | 05:44 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | and its kinda in the way of stuff | 05:44 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | do this real quick | 05:45 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | sudo apt-get install feh | 05:45 |
|---|
| dwidmann | Jay-Oh-En: Looks like my best option is ripit, presuming that this test goes successfully, though it's got one sore spot I've spotted so far, but other than that it's looking good | 05:45 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | then sudo killall conky | 05:45 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | feh --bg-scale `dcop kdesktop KBackgroundIface currentWallpaper 1` | 05:45 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | then start up conky | 05:45 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | see if that helps | 05:45 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | will it use feh everytime tho? | 05:46 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | yeah, we'll make a little bash script that does the feh, then starts conky | 05:46 |
|---|
| sub[t]rnl | see if it helps you first | 05:46 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | it did | 05:46 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | but it moves around everytime it refreshes and it flickers | 05:47 |

| Stevethepirate | I don't mind waiting for n-support | 07:48 |

| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: apparently the inspiron is alot like the latitude series | 07:48 |

| rjohn | Stevethepirate: N has huge promise. I'm in the industry. Big pent up demand | 07:48 |

|---|
| sigma__ | mun: well post a topic @ubuntuforums.org , theres more people there | 07:49 |
|---|
| rjohn | iwconfig and iwpriv are a good start | 07:49 |
|---|
| flaccid | mun: pastebin your /etc/network/interfaces | 07:49 |
|---|
| rjohn | mun: whats the issue | 07:49 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: lol thats the first word in my business name | 07:50 |
|---|
| rjohn | flaccid: ya, good idea. i've seen a lot where ssid is wrong. | 07:50 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | lol. | 07:50 |
|---|
| flaccid | well the interfaces file seems to need only localhost in it for user knetworkmanager to scan | 07:50 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: i'm also grabbing [on the Dell i'm ordering], "ntegrated Sound Blaster Audigy ADVANCED HD Audio ", that should work right? | 07:50 |
|---|
| sigma__ | mun: are you sure no one has had the same problem? usually they solve those probs really quickly | 07:51 |
|---|
| mun | yep | 07:51 |
|---|
| mun | i looked in but | 07:51 |
|---|
| mun | i didn't found the soution | 07:51 |
|---|
| rjohn | KDE4 seems like huge advance, based on mags. I don't notice huge diff erencces yet | 07:51 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: ouch, one of our pc's has a creative audigy 5.1, it has to stay on windows:( | 07:51 |
|---|
| flaccid | many reasons with ubuntu networking.... pastebin of interfaces will tell | 07:51 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: what OS are u telling dell to install on the pc? | 07:52 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: i.e. it doesn't work on ubuntu? | 07:52 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: i'm asking [phoned them yesterday] if they could install ubuntu | 07:52 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | hoping they'd give me like R800 back or so | 07:52 |
|---|
| flaccid | audigy is *usually* fine | 07:52 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | so i can grab another gig of ram [up to 3 gigs] or another 85Whr battery | 07:52 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | flaccid: hopefully :P | 07:52 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: well i had to use this script that runs at boot, problem is it only works sometimes and when it doesn't all the media players jam | 07:53 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: well, i'll be dual booting xp-corporate and ubuntu | 07:53 |
|---|
| flaccid | i got my new dell monitor yesterday w00t | 07:53 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | but dell think it'll only be ubuntu :P | 07:53 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: try get ubuntu pre-installed, they should give u free support on it | 07:53 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | Yeah, they actually don't know if they -can- do ubuntu in SA | 07:53 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: I know they do that in america | 07:54 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | I spoke to the head of some department yesterday. | 07:54 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: yeah, thats what I said | 07:54 |
|---|
| flaccid | depends on model etc. | 07:54 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | surely if they do it in the USA | 07:54 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | and -all- the stock comes from ireland | 07:54 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | then they can spam some <3 and put on ubuntu | 07:54 |
|---|
| flaccid | well no, each country will have a different regime | 07:54 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | flaccid: agreed, they have different "regimes" | 07:55 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: but the support here is pretty limited, i think they only have a office in cape town. but at least they have a pick up and return warranty:) | 07:55 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: yeah 011-709-7777 :p | 07:55 |

| omar_ | Hi | 07:55 |

| Stevethepirate | sighs | 07:55 |
|---|
| flaccid | call it what you want, of course its going to be different in each country | 07:55 |
|---|
| omar_ | Adebt installer does not allow me to install new stuff | 07:55 |
|---|
| flaccid | i just waited 5 weeks for my dell lcd monitor in australia :p | 07:56 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | flaccid: yeah, but there is surely no difference if the SA dude says to the Irish dude "please install ubuntu, not vista" | 07:56 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__, flaccid: whats the delivery time on a dell laptop to liek South Africa? | 07:57 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: i have that script i had to use, thing is the stereo sound worked fine but i was using a 5.1 system so it sounded off if the bass didnt go directly to the subwoofer | 07:57 |
|---|
| flaccid | if thats even possible then sweet, if its not then you can't do much i would assume | 07:57 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: I would think they have local stock | 07:57 |
|---|
| flaccid | no idea, i don't know anything about dell SA | 07:57 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: i have a DSP already.. i just need HD stero. | 07:57 |

|---|
| flaccid | !doesntwork | omar_ | 07:58 |
|---|
| ubotu | omar_: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 07:58 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | I doubt they have that lying around. | 07:58 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: how long for that to arrive? | 07:58 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | I though all non-peripherals come from Ireland? | 07:58 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: surely they dont have to build it at a factory | 07:58 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: i have never ordered from dell because i only bought refurb stuff | 07:59 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: i was under the impression it was | 07:59 |
|---|
| omar_ | When I use Adebt installer I can't install new programms, because all the programs are not selectable | 07:59 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: shouldn't be that long i guess, they are a service orientated company after all | 07:59 |
|---|
| sigma__ | omar_: just use dpkg -i | 08:00 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: well, if i order now.. i'd like it around 20th Jan | 08:00 |
|---|
| omar_ | sigma: what's that? | 08:00 |
|---|
| sigma__ | omar_: and download packages from packages.ubuntu.com | 08:00 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | So that when i go back to uni, I can update [we have a local mirror leg.uct.ac.za :P] | 08:00 |

| omar_ | sigma: how do I use it? | 08:02 |
|---|
| flaccid | cooly: we don't support it | 08:02 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | omar_: its like double clicking on a exe | 08:02 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: are they even open? the sales wing that is. i know most of my suppliers have closed or stopped taking orders | 08:02 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: i phoned yesterday and seemed to get through. | 08:02 |
|---|
| sigma__ | omar_: or u can use apt-get | 08:02 |

| omar_ | sigma: oh..ok | 08:02 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: I get 9meg/sec off the leg server... [for updates] | 08:02 |
|---|
| cooly | flaccid.. It's always a Difference between Support and Helping *g* | 08:03 |
|---|
| omar_ | sigma: but how do I use adebt installer? | 08:03 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | And i use a multitude of tinyproxies to tunnel normal internet traffic through .. so get about 400k/sec at night | 08:03 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: i wish our ubuntu mirror was updated, its stuck in edgy:( | 08:03 |
|---|
| flaccid | the difference is irrelevant. look at the topic. there is a reason why we do not support it. | 08:03 |
|---|
| flaccid | !envy | 08:03 |
|---|
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 08:03 |
|---|
| sigma__ | envy is dodgy stuff | 08:03 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | 400k/sec is not bad | 08:04 |
|---|
| sigma__ | when dealing with such important components in your pc, always use official ubuntu supported software | 08:04 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | remember that we have an internal resnet.. about 25-30TB | 08:04 |
|---|
| cooly | ok @ flaccid.. but.. If I installed the ATI-Driver on my Own or use the Kubuntu-Driver.. It's the same fault *g* | 08:04 |
|---|
| flaccid | cooly: so you have used restricted-manager-kde ? | 08:05 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: dam, yeah i read about the uct internet uplinks somewhere, pretty impressive stuff | 08:05 |
|---|
| cooly | yes | 08:05 |
|---|
| flaccid | file a bug, what else can you do with a seg fault... | 08:05 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: i'm running the main UCT hub next year.. hope the MPAA don't raid me.. | 08:05 |
|---|
| === jbjbjb_ is now known as jbjbjb |
| sigma__ | omar_: to be honest ive never used it, i download packages manually to install | 08:05 |
|---|
| omar_ | sigma: oh.. alright then.. :) | 08:06 |
|---|
| sigma__ | oh yes the notorious segmentation fault | 08:06 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | I get seg faults on DC++ client | 08:06 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | such failure | 08:06 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: MPAA? | 08:06 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | Like the BSA | 08:06 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | of movies | 08:06 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | motion picture association | 08:06 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | or whatever | 08:06 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | if they raided UCT | 08:07 |

| Stevethepirate | they would make R1.2 billion in fines | 08:07 |

| Stevethepirate | at least | 08:07 |

| sigma__ | i used to get a segmentation fault in Konversation when i wanted to join a new channel. but it disapeared | 08:07 |

| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: ok well thats the end of that discussion | 08:08 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | i.e. transferring pirated materials. | 08:08 |

| Stevethepirate | sigma__: so scp me those illegal files | 08:09 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | :P | 08:09 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | just joking | 08:09 |

| Stevethepirate | to be honest, if people wanna talk about random stuff, and its not interferring with the main chat. | 08:10 |

| Stevethepirate | stdin: yeah.. | 08:11 |

| Stevethepirate | but #kubuntu is a good disguise for illegal chatz :P | 08:11 |

| Stevethepirate | stdin: thanks for that KDE4 guide.. | 08:11 |

| Stevethepirate | it actually wasn't as hard as expected | 08:12 |

| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: but lets be honest, police in this country have more important things to do | 08:12 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | stdin: like. where would you recommend I get nice widgets/ theme's etc for kde4? | 08:12 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: i know 3 people in JHB and 1 in CPT that have been raided for ADSL cap theft. | 08:13 |
|---|
| stdin | Stevethepirate: there aren't really any yet, kde4 isn't even released yet | 08:13 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | 3 of them [1 CPT + 2 JHB ] got fined.. | 08:13 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: whats ADSL cap theft? | 08:14 |
|---|
| flaccid | omar_: its an invalid line in the sources.list | 08:14 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | stdin: had a slight problem.. when i started a widget, it was like -stuck- in the middle of the screen | 08:14 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | couldn't move it.. only close it. | 08:14 |
|---|
| omar_ | flaccid: how do I fix it? | 08:14 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: when you use another dude's ADSL account and basically his cap. | 08:14 |
|---|
| flaccid | remove the line in question from /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:14 |
|---|
| stdin | *Notice* To all users of KDE4 packages, you may notice some updates for your KDE4 packages in a few hours. This fixes a couple of issues with starting KDE4 applications from the KMenu and from the Run Dialog, nothing to worry about | 08:15 |

| DjDarkman | hello I have two machines, with kubuntu, both have ext3 partitions, I copied files containing special charecters like úóüöéá, and when I want to play those music files amarok complains that it can`t open them, but I can copy them back to this laptop and it works, why is this, how can I solve this? | 08:15 |
|---|
| omar_ | flaccid: the sources list is empty | 08:16 |
|---|
| stdin | Stevethepirate: I don't see that, I can move plasmoids fine. best place for kde4 support is #kde4-devel | 08:16 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: well thats illegal in any case! i know a guy who works for a isp that does that. well it seems the law has changed a bit - http://mybroadband.co.za/news/General/644.html however as that law expert says, proving it is rather hard | 08:16 |
|---|
| flaccid | omar_: use adept, re-manager your repos, fetch updates then do what you need | 08:17 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | stdin: yeah, when i have my KDE4 pc here at work again i'll try it out... | 08:17 |
|---|
| DjDarkman | anyone have an idea? if it help I copied the files trough sftp | 08:17 |
|---|
| flaccid | omar_: your error message says its not empty | 08:17 |
|---|
| sigma__ | stdin: did they eventually fix the kde4 taskbar? | 08:17 |
|---|
| stdin | sigma__: fix what about it? | 08:18 |
|---|
| flaccid | DjDarkman: i don't know. but unusual characters don't extend between filesystems for a start little lone protocols | 08:18 |
|---|
| sigma__ | stdin: i couldn't right click it | 08:18 |
|---|
| flaccid | i mean let alone protocols | 08:18 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: did u check that link out? | 08:18 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: yeah, basically, they have to prove you are downloading something, to get a court order to get proof that you are downloading something... | 08:18 |
|---|
| stdin | sigma__: there still aren't any options for it, so no right click | 08:18 |
|---|
| omar_ | flaccid: yeah I know, I wasn't, but when I veiwed the list I deleted everything and, then tried again but the same error appeared | 08:19 |
|---|
| omar_ | flaccid: It* wasn't | 08:19 |
|---|
| sigma__ | stdin: i would think that was one of the first options they would have built, kinda arb to leave it to the end | 08:20 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: and the studio has to do it, not any 3rd party representative body | 08:20 |
|---|
| stdin | sigma__: it's mostly just a container plasmoid, not much about it to configure | 08:20 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: so, basically... GO RSA! | 08:21 |
|---|
| Stevethepirate | sigma__: i g2g.. bbl. | 08:21 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: lol | 08:21 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Stevethepirate: check u | 08:21 |
|---|
| sigma__ | stdin: but what about the trashcan, taskbar and shortcuts? i hate that taskbar that is in the top corner of the screen, but on the plus side the live cd does run pretty quickly on my pc | 08:23 |
|---|
| sigma__ | compared to kde3 | 08:23 |
|---|
| stdin | all those things will either be plasmoids or "button" plasmoids | 08:24 |
|---|
| purpleposeidon | hmmm, is 20 kb/s usual? :o | 08:24 |
|---|
| purpleposeidon | for updates? | 08:24 |
|---|
| sigma__ | interesting, looking forward to it, pity you can't order kde4 from shipit | 08:24 |
|---|
| stdin | sigma__: one day :) | 08:25 |
|---|
| sigma__ | stdin: when do you think kde4.1 will be out? | 08:25 |
|---|
| flaccid_ | it would help if it was finished | 08:25 |
|---|
| stdin | sigma__: "when it's ready" | 08:25 |
|---|
| stdin | should be in time for 8.10 release (can't see that not happening) | 08:25 |

| sigma__ | stdin: lol, it amazes me that the new releases run faster than their predecessors, with windows its the extreme opposite, my laptop barely manages to load vista | 08:26 |
|---|
| flaccid_ | omar_: do what it says | 08:26 |
|---|
| omar_ | ok | 08:27 |
|---|
| flaccid_ | if that fails i think your apt db is fuxed | 08:27 |

| omar_ | I did what is says, but the same old poblem appeared again. | 08:29 |
|---|
| omar_ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48822/ | 08:29 |
|---|
| DjDarkman | how can I 'tanslate' a KDE completely, witch was installed english? | 08:29 |
|---|
| flaccid_ | omar_: does cat /etc/apt/sources.list return anything? | 08:29 |
|---|

| purpleposeidon | There was this one thing online, where you could download self-contained programs, does anybody remember what it is called? It had it's own protocol:/ thing | 08:30 |
|---|
| flaccid_ | i got hard :p | 08:30 |
|---|
| sigma__ | prob got disconnected | 08:30 |
|---|
| DjDarkman | flaccid_: I think that some packagees that I need are kubuntu specific, or am I wrong? | 08:31 |
|---|
| omar_ | flaccid: it returns: | 08:31 |
|---|
| flaccid_ | DjDarkman: i don't know what you going on about sorry. i cant help. | 08:31 |

| sigma__ | purpleposeidon: define self contained? | 08:31 |
|---|
| sigma__ | DjDarkman: what exactly are you trying to do? | 08:31 |
|---|
| Syntra | Hey uhh, anyone have a clue why there isn't any option to boot to Kubuntu after installing Windows? | 08:32 |
|---|
| purpleposeidon | sigma__: Uh, like you downloaded a .iso, and it mounted it, and it had everything you needed to run a program | 08:32 |

|---|
| omar_ | thanx! | 08:33 |
|---|
| sigma__ | DjDarkman: oh yeah then #kde would be the place to ask | 08:33 |
|---|
| flaccid_ | DjDarkman: please ask in #kde, im sure its not hard | 08:34 |
|---|
| DjDarkman | ok, hope they can tell me | 08:34 |
|---|
| sigma__ | DjDarkman: i pretty sure the kde team deals with translations, not the kubuntu team | 08:34 |
|---|
| sigma__ | DjDarkman: im pretty sure they can | 08:34 |
|---|
| omar_ | still the same problem.. | 08:36 |
|---|
| sigma__ | why does canonical never reply to my email requesting to use the ubuntu family logos on my website? | 08:36 |
|---|
| sigma__ | omar_: reinstall perhaps? | 08:36 |

|---|
| sigma__ | omar_: yup | 08:38 |
|---|
| omar_ | sigma_: oh man! | 08:39 |
|---|
| omar_ | sigma_: this sucks! | 08:39 |
|---|
| sigma__ | guys you know what we need in kubuntu, a repair feature like whats on that xp cd. where it flushes the system files and re-installs them but keeps data in tact | 08:39 |
|---|
| sigma__ | omar_: dont worry ive had my fair share, its all part of learning linux | 08:40 |
|---|
| omar_ | sigma_: yeah that's true.. | 08:40 |
|---|
| sigma__ | omar_: what pc are u using? | 08:40 |
|---|
| Lynoure | sigma__: there is dpkg-reconfigure | 08:40 |
|---|
| Oleander | I want to change from win to linux and am not sure whether to go with ubuntu or kubuntu...what are the differneces anyways. i read that one is on gnome while the other on kde..at the end of the day what should a newbie to linux install? | 08:40 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | erm hi.. i have a.. not really a problem more an annoyance... i'm running Kubuntu and when i play variable bitrate mp3's they speed up and slow down.. and tear... | 08:41 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Lynoure: what does it do? | 08:41 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | Kde is more like windows.. | 08:41 |
|---|
| Lynoure | mitchells00: not really | 08:41 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Oleander: gnome just looks very ugly (but thats to me) | 08:41 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | the feel is.. to me anyway.. | 08:41 |
|---|
| omar_ | sigma_: and you know what? there's a festival that will be held in my country about LINUX soon, I must attend it..! :D | 08:41 |
|---|
| Oleander | ah ok | 08:41 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | gnome to me looks prettier, but i like the option of switching between the 2.. whatever i feel like today is what i use.. | 08:42 |
|---|
| Lynoure | sigma__: it reconfigures the packages specified, so if you have messed up some configuration files, it sets them to default. | 08:42 |
|---|
| Oleander | does kubuntu do the transparency on the windows like ubuntu? | 08:42 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Oleander: well theres no harm in trying both, not like u have to pay for them:) | 08:42 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | now there's an idea.. random DE every boot! xD | 08:42 |
|---|
| Oleander | sigma: true point | 08:42 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Oleander: yeah sort of, better stuff is coming in kde4 in jan | 08:42 |
|---|
| Lynoure | sigma__: reinstalling packages can also do similar things, in the cases where you have messed up/removed files. | 08:43 |
|---|
| Oleander | mitchells00: so u have all ur apps on both os? and u boot from the one u feel like using that day? | 08:43 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Lynoure: ok im gonna try that on my mock pc but first i need to try mess it up:) | 08:43 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | no that's why i'm not a huge fan of ubuntu.. you can't choose to have both.. | 08:43 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Lynoure: so its not like windows where one glitch means game over | 08:43 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | i mainly use Sabayon but i'm on kubuntu to try out LinuxMCE | 08:43 |
|---|
| sigma__ | mitchells00: i thought u could use both | 08:44 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | woah fildo same connection, same exchange.. | 08:44 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | weird! | 08:44 |
|---|
| Oleander | kubuntu has a media center? | 08:44 |
|---|
| Lynoure | sigma__: certainly not. Even if you cannot get X to run, there is always the console. and even if it does not boot, there is possibility from booting from a rescue cd or somesuch and fixing from there. | 08:45 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | google LinuxMCE | 08:45 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Oleander: depends wat u define a media centre | 08:45 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | At the moment it's looking like a POS but meh.. | 08:45 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | fildo.. do i know you....? xD' | 08:46 |
|---|
| sigma__ | mitchells00: can u run LinuxMCE on kubuntu? and how is it? | 08:46 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | it can only run on kubuntu | 08:46 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | and so far i can't get it to run... | 08:46 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | it takes a LONG time to install | 08:46 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Lynoure: well thats comforting to hear | 08:46 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | :P | 08:46 |
|---|
| sigma__ | mitchells00: isnt it still in beta? | 08:46 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | i don't know | 08:47 |
|---|
| DonalR | finger DonalR | 08:47 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | i think the NEW version is | 08:47 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Lynoure: is it possible to access a flashdrive from konsole? does it auto-mount | 08:47 |
|---|
| Lynoure | sigma__: yes, normally they do. | 08:48 |
|---|
| Oleander | does ubuntu have a media center? or does it too need linuxMCE? | 08:48 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Lynoure: how would u open them? | 08:48 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | i know this'll sound weird but i think sabayon is far better for absolute beginners, it has all the programs they would ever want, it's quite easy to use and install and lets face it.. i just installed Kubuntu.. it didn't even have firefox.. that's just appauling... | 08:48 |
|---|
| sigma__ | Oleander: what do u need the media center to do? | 08:48 |
|---|
| Lynoure | sigma__: and even if it does not, you can manually mount it from command line, too (unless there is something seriously wrong with something) | 08:48 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | i know the last word is spelt wrong but i'm tired.. | 08:49 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | xD | 08:49 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | Ubuntu has almost nothing in it.. | 08:49 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | they're like windows.. | 08:49 |
|---|
| sigma__ | mitchells00: u can just install firefox, i use flock, its way better espm in looks | 08:49 |
|---|
| Oleander | so you'd recommend sabayon | 08:49 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | definately.. | 08:49 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | over ubuntu any day.. | 08:49 |
|---|
| Oleander | u use that now? | 08:49 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | it's a DVD size rather than CD size | 08:50 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | yeah.. | 08:50 |
|---|
| sigma__ | wats so good in sabayon? | 08:50 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | the live DVD is even fast enough for me | 08:50 |
|---|
| Oleander | googling it now | 08:50 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | it comes with CRAPLOADS of programs built in | 08:50 |
|---|
| sigma__ | kubuntu also has a dvd | 08:50 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | anything you want | 08:50 |
|---|
| Oleander | what kinda progs were on there u use heaps | 08:51 |
|---|
| Oleander | ? | 08:51 |
|---|
| sigma__ | the reason kubuntu is on cd mainly is because most of its users don't have truckloads of bandwidth | 08:51 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | and installing more is easy.. it has (i don't know what it's called but it lists all the programs that you want, you tick them and press ok and they auto download and install) | 08:51 |
|---|
| sigma__ | its just designed to give u the base system, not all the packages | 08:51 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | well i have to say a live DVD is nicer with packages built in... | 08:51 |
|---|
| sigma__ | but yes a dvd that auto installed all your desired programs would be goodf | 08:52 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | rather than installing every time.. | 08:52 |
|---|
| sigma__ | good | 08:52 |
|---|
| sigma__ | but hey for office use the cd version is perfect | 08:52 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | plus sabayon can look FANTASTIC when you have a good video card.. | 08:52 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | i forget what it's called but it has alot of optional visual effects like vista but.. alot more customizable.. | 08:53 |
|---|
| Lynoure | sigma__: if it is konsole you talk about, just cd /media then do ls to look around, cd to whatever is the name of you flashdrive. There you are. :) For plain command line you'll need to mount it yourself, but that's not hard either | 08:53 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | just if people want.. xD | 08:53 |
|---|
| Oleander | what kind of visual effects? | 08:53 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | 1st and my favourate.. the desktop cube.. | 08:54 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | :) | 08:54 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | control and flick your mouse and you're on another desktop xD | 08:54 |
|---|
| Oleander | cool | 08:54 |
|---|
| Oleander | so u can have 6 desktops going ? | 08:54 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | 4.. | 08:54 |
|---|
| mitchells00 | you can have like 20 but not on the cube.. | 08:55 |

|---|

|---|
| Oleander | hahah awsome | 08:56 |
|---|

|---|
| Oleander | ActionParsnip: do i need a seperate hdd to install kubuntu on or can i partition one of my drives? | 11:13 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, well sudo route add default gw <ip> | 11:13 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | *actionparsnip i mean >< lol i didnt bother to read. | 11:13 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | Oleander, you can resize but its risky. | 11:14 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | stdin, can you help please man | 11:14 |
|---|
| Oleander | cuz of the file system? | 11:14 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | ActionParsnip, Let me try that and I'll tell you results | 11:14 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | ActionParsnip: it now wont even get as far as the login thing. it just stops halfway through loading whatever it loads. | 11:15 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | Oleander, you have no where to put the data when you install | 11:16 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | Oleander, and if you resize you may corrupt data | 11:16 |

| ActionParsnip | hungrymouse, try booting to "safemode". use F1 at boot to bring up the linux boot menu | 11:17 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | ActionParsnip: and then use xstart? | 11:17 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | ActionParsnip, I typed "sudo route add default fw 192.168.2.1" and i was given "SIOCADDRT: No such Process" | 11:18 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | hungrymouse, you should be able to boot to an earlier config | 11:18 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, can we have a paste of you /etc/network/interfaces please | 11:18 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | ActionParsnip, yes, one sec | 11:19 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | ActionParsnip: i'll try that then | 11:19 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | ActionParsnip, is this a screenshot of the contents of that folder or ls from within /interfaces? | 11:20 |
|---|
| Oleander | ActionParsnip: how big a hdd will i need? | 11:20 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | Oleander, at least 5GB for a basic install | 11:21 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | ActionParsnip, Also be aware this is from LiveCD should I install ubuntu before trying to troubleshot this? | 11:21 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, interfaces is an ASCII text file. open it with your favourite text editor (kate, kwrite etc) | 11:21 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | ActionParsnip, Where would that be located if using livecd | 11:22 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, kinda as when you reboot the changes will not stay | 11:22 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, same place | 11:22 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | all it says in there is "auto lo" and then next line is "iface lo inet loopback" | 11:23 |
|---|
| Oleander | thanks ActionParsnip | 11:23 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | i went through root/etc/network/interfaces | 11:24 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, edit it as root (kdesu kate /etc/network/interfaces) | 11:25 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | ok | 11:25 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, and add auto wlan0 | 11:26 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, iface wlan0 inet dhcp | 11:26 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | ActionParsnip just add it to the line below the other to or erase whats in there and replace it with the new info | 11:27 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, wireless-essid <your essid here> | 11:27 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, just add it | 11:27 |

| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, theres a sample of what you should have | 11:27 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | ActionParsnip: it doesnt seem to work. | 11:28 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | hungrymouse, I'm not so sure then. stdin is really good at this | 11:30 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | ActionParsnip: i think i'll just reinstall. there's not really anything important on my ext3 partition; i only installed kubuntu yesterday evening. i'll pester stdin if it happens agen :P | 11:31 |
|---|
| Oleander | ActionParsnip: i have 3 hdds, one with win os and the other two with media...music and video. I was thinking of dumping about 40gb of one of those media hdds on a ext and then using it for kubuntu which is 120gb hhh. my friend said thats a waste u agree? | 11:31 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | hungrymouse, cool man | 11:31 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | Oleander, sounds fine Kubuntu will mount your Win partitions too :) | 11:32 |
|---|
| Oleander | <ActionParsnip: cool | 11:33 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | ActionParsnip, When ever I add those lines it doesn't connect and it no longer shows any available wifi spots. when i remove the lines and save it the wifi spots come back | 11:33 |
|---|
| Oleander | so linux will see the win paritions yeh? | 11:33 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | Oleander, yeah shoulddo | 11:34 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, you should restart after adding the lines | 11:34 |
|---|
| Oleander | ActionParsnip>: can i copy say a movie from one of my win hdds and put it on my kubuntu hdd? | 11:35 |
|---|
| SagaciousKJB | Can't you restart it by donig sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart? | 11:35 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | Oleander, indeed | 11:35 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | ActionParsnip, But if I restart won't I lose those lines since I'm livecd, Also I only added those 3 lines you mentioned. "auto wlan0", "iface wlan0 inet dhcp" and wireless-essid <myID> is that correct | 11:36 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | SagaciousKJB, i just have them restart. its easier but yes that works too | 11:36 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, yes :( good spot :). do what SagaciousKJB said | 11:36 |
|---|
| SagaciousKJB | All right, not that I was trying to be smart, I was trying to do it that way earlier and it didn't seem to work. I think I didn't have the interfaces file configured correctly, so I just made a boot script with ifconfig and route. | 11:36 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | ActionParsnip, Lol no prob. one sec | 11:37 |
|---|
| SagaciousKJB | I find it sort of odd that I was just dealing with this the other day. | 11:37 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | SagaciousKJB, always more than one way to skin a cat | 11:37 |
|---|
| GreatBritain | running Apache and MySQL wouldn't slow down the graphics refresh on a game would it? | 11:37 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | SagaciousKJB, good idea though :) | 11:37 |
|---|
| GreatBritain | i only have 512mb | 11:37 |
|---|
| GreatBritain | ram | 11:37 |
|---|
| Oleander | ActionParsnip: so all the music and vid ive dumped on my ext while i installed kubuntu can be put back on that new linux drive? | 11:38 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | Oleander, yes indeed | 11:39 |
|---|
| Oleander | sweet | 11:40 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | Oleander, Ubuntu can read MANY filesystems | 11:41 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | ActionParsnip: for future reference, how do i mount hdds onto the live cd version of kubuntu? | 11:41 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | hungrymouse, are they internal? | 11:41 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | ActionParsnip yep. when i try and access them it gets all paranoid and gives me this error: hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options refused uid 999 | 11:42 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | hungrymouse, what command / method are you mounting with? | 11:43 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | ActionParsnip: i click the mount button on the sidebar in dolphin. | 11:43 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | ActionParsnip: and a friend of mine who uses kubuntu tried something else in Konsole to mount them, and that didnt work either. | 11:44 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | ActionParsnip, Here is a paste of my results. It wouldn't let me use the Kubuntu paste again cause it said i was spaming and needed to JS on but here is the snip | 11:44 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | http://d.cl1p.net/results/ | 11:44 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | it ran it together but hopefully it's not complete mush | 11:44 |

|---|
| TheFallenOne | http://download.cl1p.net/results/?t=280209653&FILE=0 | 11:45 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | Oleander, you can get an app to copy stuff. not sure about read | 11:45 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | try that instead ActionParsnip | 11:45 |

| TheFallenOne | says unkown file type but just change ext to .txt | 11:46 |

|---|
| hungrymouse | ActionParsnip: as far as i know that program allows you to read as well. but dont hold me to that :P | 11:46 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, remove the entrys in /etc/network/interfaces for wlan0 except the line auto wlan0 | 11:47 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, then do the network restart | 11:48 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | TheFallenOne, then use the scanner like a reg user | 11:48 |
|---|
| TheFallenOne | ok i will try that. my shift is over now so i will let you know later if it worked out | 11:49 |

| TheFallenOne | thanks so much for the help | 11:49 |

| intelikey | the fact that it's commit interval is like 10 seconds has something to do with it... there might be a way, IF one can also disable the continueous write cycle. but i haven't found it yet. probably require a kernel hack... | 12:20 |
|---|
| intelikey | it's just that i know that a disk spinning at that high of an rpm non-stop will eventually 'just ware out' and there is no good reason for it to spin when not in use i.e. no read/write activity. | 12:22 |

| intelikey | for that you can get the basic idea of several things. one. streem redirrection the > put stdout into a file two. the way that linux identifies files. the first line has the #!/bin/sh telling the system to use /bin/sh to run the file. three. the use of variables $USER is normally always set to the users login name. | 12:32 |

| zorglu_ | sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Dec 19 19:52:46 2007 <- i changed the date on my box and now i got this msg when i use sudo. anybody know how i can fix it ? | 12:48 |
|---|
| intelikey | wait an hour ? | 12:49 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | zorglu_, is the date in your bios correct? | 12:49 |

| intelikey | zorglu_ or reboot ? but i don't like to adcise that. this is not M$ reboot OS | 12:50 |
|---|
| ActionParsnip | zorglu_, sudo -K | 12:50 |
|---|
| zorglu_ | ok trying sudo -K | 12:51 |
|---|
| onishidato | what's that? | 12:51 |
|---|
| intelikey | ActionParsnip umm yeah. that should work. i was thinking that he had to have sudoers permisison to fix it... | 12:51 |
|---|
| onishidato | sudo -K, what's that used for? | 12:52 |
|---|
| intelikey | clear the sudo key | 12:52 |
|---|
| onishidato | got it | 12:52 |
|---|
| intelikey | so the user has to reinter the passwd | 12:52 |
|---|
| zorglu_ | well in theory it remove the timestamp of sudo ) | 12:53 |
|---|
| zorglu_ | note the in theory :) | 12:53 |
|---|
| zorglu_ | i tried sudo -k and sudo -K as root. | 12:53 |
|---|
| intelikey | actually i think it does an rm ~/.sudo_successful or some such | 12:53 |
|---|
| intelikey | zorglu_ yeah as root wont help. try ls ~/\.* and remove the file with sudo in the name | 12:54 |
|---|
| zorglu_ | rm .sudo_as_admin_successful <- i did this one but still get the msg :) | 12:54 |

| JuJuBee | Anybody here use webmin? | 13:10 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | JuJuBee, someone was mentioning that webmin was no longer supported on gutsy | 13:11 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | yesterday | 13:11 |
|---|
| JuJuBee | Really, that sucks. | 13:12 |
|---|
| flaccid__ | webmin is p00 | 13:12 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | what is webmin | 13:14 |
|---|
| JuJuBee | Well, to someone that is somewhat a noob, it helps me configure things. It has enabled me to start using CLI more to configure, but some things are just still a bit foreign to me. | 13:14 |
|---|
| flaccid__ | !webmin | 13:15 |
|---|
| 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 | 13:15 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | JuJuBee, there must be an alternative /replacement that works better , otherwise why would it be dropped ? | 13:15 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | !info webmin | 13:15 |
|---|
| ubotu | Package webmin does not exist in gutsy | 13:15 |
|---|
| flaccid__ | it was dropped because of above | 13:15 |
|---|
| JuJuBee | Thansk BluesKaj, I will look for one. | 13:15 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | yeah, I see it | 13:15 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | BluesKaj: but what was webmin nobody answer my question | 13:16 |
|---|
| flaccid__ | its web frontend to system admin | 13:17 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | and can somebody help me with this i cp my stuff into my /var/www/ dir but nothing gives ive made a dir usng mkdir i made Pictures dir and i try cping to that and nothing gives so what do i do | 13:17 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | flaccid__: know it all | 13:17 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | ciao | 13:17 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | Jay-Oh-En, just google it in google-linux and you'll have your answer | 13:17 |
|---|
| JuJuBee | OK, well then. I have an iptables question. I have my rules set up, but wish to modify them. When I made a change, using webmin, the URL's suddenly turned to IP's. Now it is difficult for me to look at a rule and remember exactly what it does since I don't make a habit of memorizing the IP of websites. Any ideas? | 13:17 |
|---|
| flaccid__ | haha | 13:17 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | google.com/linux will never fail | 13:17 |
|---|
| flaccid__ | ubuntu doesn't support webmin | 13:18 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | JuJuBee: use firestarter | 13:18 |
|---|
| JuJuBee | flaccid_ : im not using Gutsy. | 13:18 |
|---|
| flaccid__ | it wasn't supported before gutsy | 13:19 |
|---|
| JuJuBee | Thanks Jay-Oh-En, I will look at it. | 13:19 |
|---|
| JuJuBee | flaccid_, seems to work fine with Feisty. | 13:19 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | JuJuBee: just cause it isnt supported doesnt mean it wont work | 13:19 |
|---|
| JuJuBee | I know. | 13:19 |
|---|
| flaccid__ | ok so i guess that means the ubuntu and debians teams were wrong ah well | 13:19 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | Webmin is a web-based interface for system administration for Unix. Using any browser that supports tables and forms, you can setup user accounts, internet services, DNS, file sharing and so on | 13:20 |

|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | we only get that here in vegas from time to time | 13:28 |

| BluesKaj | techgeek40, wrong command , just do ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkgl.run | 13:28 |

| Jay-Oh-En | most of the time i smoke stress its horrible bud but its cheap and gets me stoned | 13:29 |
|---|
| techgeek40 | Blueskaj: so I basically save the file to a folder (like documents) and in terminal window type ./NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkgl.run | 13:30 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | <---doesn't smoke | 13:30 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | so nobody can hewlp me with my problem since its such a simple task | 13:30 |
|---|
| carwash^ | techgeek40: when you first start kubuntu it will ask you if you want to install restricted drivers to make your system work better, answer yes and they'll isntall automatically. its a "better" way of doing it with regard to future updates and so on | 13:30 |

| BluesKaj | techgeek40, your download default dir is prolly /home/yourusername, open the terminal/konsole (it defaults to that dir) and type the ./nameofnvidiadriverfile.run , then follow the instructions | 13:32 |

| techgeek40 | The file downloaded to desktop actually | 13:33 |

| BluesKaj | did you choose a scrnsvr file ? | 13:36 |

| Jay-Oh-En | flaccid: ok | 13:36 |
|---|
| techgeek40 | Yes, I did | 13:37 |

| Jay-Oh-En | flaccid: it isnt moving | 13:37 |

| techgeek40 | Crappy card, but I'm replacing that with the new DX10 card (512 on board ddr ram) come Jan 08 | 13:38 |

| Jay-Oh-En | flaccid: ok well anyways i know how to copy it to the right dir but i dont know how to delete the dir and the files in it | 13:41 |

| flaccid | if you delete that dir then you can't recopy it because it will be deleted | 13:41 |
|---|
| flaccid | ok | 13:41 |
|---|
| techgeek40 | Rurounijones: I actually had to redo my system - but made it easier on myself by backing up my stuff and then partition out three partitons (one for XP - Vista and then Linux) | 13:41 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | i meant the dir in /var/www/ | 13:41 |
|---|
| flaccid | just do this rm -R /path/to/the/dir | 13:41 |

|---|
| onishidato | but i can't download it | 13:42 |
|---|
| techgeek40 | Rurounijones: neither did I - but actually in the long run - it saved a lot of headace, and actually allowed me to clean up the system due to system clutter (and I'm a tech lol I should know better) | 13:42 |
|---|
| RurouniJones | Yea, spose so. | 13:43 |
|---|
| onishidato | i want to use the webcam on Kopete. how can i do now? | 13:44 |
|---|
| techgeek40 | Ruroun: but generally once the partitions are in place, they are in place; especially for a filled hard drive - it will be hard to get the space you need for a windows install | 13:44 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | flaccid: how do i go into verbose | 13:44 |
|---|
| flaccid | probably -v | 13:44 |
|---|
| flaccid | rm -Rv | 13:44 |
|---|
| carwash^ | onishidato: plugg it in, and it should work. if you plan on using msn the webcam support in amsn is musch better than in kopete | 13:44 |
|---|
| flaccid | and -f for force | 13:44 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | how do i do -v | 13:44 |

| flaccid | whats your prob techgeek40 | 13:46 |

| BluesKaj | RurouniJones, yes that's the right way , always install windows first then linux , but make the partitions for each OS first | 13:46 |

| techgeek40 | I'm using the FireFox browser that came with the install - but when I get to a page the requires the flash plug in - I do the "install" yet the plug in is not working - how do I get around that? | 13:55 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | i like that logic, jay-oh-en. | 13:55 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | hungrymouse: <3 | 13:55 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | BluesKaj: installing it. | 13:55 |
|---|
| onishidato | BluesKaj: ntfs-cinfig: they say that the program need to be run as root, what's wrong? | 13:55 |
|---|
| bazhang | !flashissues | 13:55 |
|---|
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. | 13:55 |
|---|
| techgeek40 | Is there a way around that? | 13:55 |
|---|
| astan | flaccid: damn. left my usbstick at home, got an example of how a wifi interface should be properly configured in /etc/network/interfaces ? and i can check for any errors.. | 13:55 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | use your password , onishidato ...nothings wrong ..it's a security device | 13:55 |
|---|
| techgeek40 | And still no screen saver with :< | 13:56 |
|---|
| techgeek40 | <---bangs head on desk about five times - | 13:56 |
|---|
| astan | flaccid: maybe i can get wifi working manually with iwconfig/dhclient et.c. just a moment. | 13:56 |
|---|
| * Jay-Oh-En is helping techgeek40 bang his head on the desk | 13:57 |
| techgeek40 | LOL Thank you :> | 13:57 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | haha | 13:57 |
|---|
| techgeek40 | I just can't figure out why no screen saver - | 13:57 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | onishidato, you'll only need to enter it once , cuz afterwards it's linked to your login pw , whenever you logon to kubuntu | 13:57 |

| techgeek40 | Graphics adapter is a NVidia FX 5200 | 13:57 |

| hungrymouse | BluesKaj: ntfs-config doesnt want to run. do i need to reboot? | 13:58 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | run? | 13:58 |
|---|
| flaccid | astan: um just pastebin it to me and i'll edit it to make it what it should be so it works with knetworkmanager | 13:59 |
|---|
| onishidato | BluesKaj: do we have sudo? | 13:59 |
|---|
| flaccid | its a bit more effort in cli if you have to do wpa | 13:59 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | BluesKaj: dude theres already a ntfs driver on gutsy | 13:59 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | relogin, hungrymouse | 13:59 |
|---|
| onishidato | BluesKaj: ** (ntfs-config:7355): WARNING **: Error : This programm need to be run as root. <== it's like this | 13:59 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | BluesKaj: he just has to select it when hes enabling the device | 13:59 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | Jay-Oh-En, in some cases it's not working | 14:00 |
|---|
| techgeek40 | I've got the Kubuntu desktop - I'm trying to get it so --- how to explain - when I move things around - the applications "waves" I ran into that one time on a first install and liked it | 14:00 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | for me it is | 14:00 |
|---|
| flaccid | use sudo or kdesudo or kdesu depending on what type of program it is | 14:00 |
|---|
| flaccid | !root | 14:00 |
|---|
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 14:00 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | well, we're not worried about you Jay-Oh-En , other ppl are having a problem , ok ? | 14:00 |
|---|
| astan | flaccid: yea. it's just that i don't have net access on the laptop, and left my usbstick at home.. but i'll get the file to you, just might take a little while ;) | 14:00 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | BluesKaj: ooooo having a bad day? | 14:01 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | BluesKaj: its ok, something seems to be working now, cos im getting an error message about the partition. apparently windows still has it reserved, so i'll have to boot windows *groan* and shut down properly. | 14:01 |
|---|
| flaccid | astan: well put it this way, take out all interfaces but localhost and it will probably work again... | 14:01 |

| techgeek40 | Thanks for the help, folks. ENjoy your day | 14:02 |

| Lacrymology | and I wasnt able to boot anymore | 14:02 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | I tried installing the new kernel and removing the old ones | 14:02 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | but I only have memtest at grub | 14:02 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | Jay-Oh-En, when trying to help others the "works for me " attitude without offering how to make things work , isn't any help to anyone . | 14:02 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | so now I'm logged and chrooted from an ubuntu CD | 14:02 |
|---|
| onishidato | BluesKaj: when i try to browse the ntfs partrition. they say " hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000". what can i do now? | 14:03 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | !works for me | 14:03 |
|---|
| ubotu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. | 14:03 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | and.. I would really like to have a kernel installed, and stuff, you know? can someone help me? | 14:03 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | onishidato, reboot | 14:03 |
|---|
| flaccid | !fixgrub | Lacrymology | 14:03 |
|---|
| ubotu | Lacrymology: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 14:03 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | BluesKaj: i was just saying (it wasnt an attitude) sorry yeesh i didnt know it would get your panties all up in a bunch | 14:03 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | flaccid: that's not what happened | 14:04 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | flaccid: grub is there, the kernel image isn't | 14:04 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | root@ubuntu:/# ls boot/ | 14:04 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | grub memtest86+.bin | 14:04 |
|---|
| flaccid | yeah but there is a procedure in there to rebuild grub with what kernels you have in /boot | 14:04 |
|---|
| flaccid | ok 1 sec | 14:04 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | flaccid: no kernels | 14:04 |
|---|
| flaccid | are you in single user mode atm Lacrymology? | 14:05 |
|---|
| flaccid | how you get to shell | 14:05 |
|---|
| astan | flaccid: the line for my wifi interface reads: iface eth1 inet dhcp | 14:05 |
|---|
| astan | flaccid: eth1 should not really be listed at all, should it? | 14:06 |
|---|
| astan | flaccid: if it's to be managed by networkmanager.. | 14:06 |
|---|
| flaccid | astan: remove it. then do a sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart . then restart knetworkmanager then you should be able to right click and select a network | 14:06 |
|---|
| flaccid | correct | 14:06 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | flaccid: I'm logged in from the ubuntu CD and chrooted | 14:07 |
|---|
| astan | flaccid: alright. weird that it has a line there.. must have been since i've been fiddling with the settings for eth0 in the kde network settings.. thanks, will try now. | 14:07 |
|---|
| onishidato | BluesKaj: i havew just rebott, but it still not working | 14:07 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | flaccid: I just did apt-get linux-image-etc, that may work | 14:07 |
|---|
| flaccid | oh right. i guess it would if you changed the root. im not sure sorry.. | 14:07 |
|---|
| flaccid | astan: yep thats annoying.. | 14:08 |
|---|
| onishidato | BluesKaj: how can i do now? | 14:08 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | BluesKaj: the problem was that i was lazy last time i used windows and got sick of it taking 10 mins to shut down, so i did a forced power off. so it still had the partition reserved. | 14:08 |
|---|
| onishidato | BluesKaj: | 14:08 |

| IppatsuMan | Did anyone tried KDE 4 rc2 installing the .debs on kubuntu.org? Apart from being a beta version, does it coesxist nicely with KDE 3 or will it break something? | 14:10 |
|---|
| onishidato | hungrymouse: my winxp has virus, and i can't get in to take my data. so i use Linux to take it out | 14:10 |
|---|
| carwash^ | IppatsuMan: i found it didnt break anything. you can choose to log in to kde3 or 4 in kdm | 14:10 |

| IppatsuMan | carwash^: thanks - I did a aptitude -s install and I noticed that the new repository wants to update konqueror, but if it works on KDE 3 too that isn't a problem | 14:12 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | onishidato: and you cant access the winxp hdd from linux? | 14:12 |
|---|
| onishidato | hungrymouse: yes | 14:12 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | ok, now I'm logged from my kernel, but kdm isn't starting | 14:12 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | I just upgraded to 7.10, might that have something to do? | 14:13 |
|---|
| carwash^ | IppatsuMan: theres a konqueror and a konqueror-kde4 | 14:13 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | onishidato: is the drive actually visible in system menu > storage media | 14:13 |
|---|
| carwash^ | the kde4install doesnt overwrite anything of your kde3 isntall | 14:13 |
|---|
| flaccid | Lacrymology: do a sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop from a tty then run kdm or starx manually | 14:13 |
|---|
| onishidato | hungrymouse: sure, they are FAT32 and NTFS | 14:13 |
|---|
| flaccid | Lacrymology: possible video driver update required | 14:13 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | Lacrymology: i had that exact problem earlier. i ended up reinstalling kubuntu >< | 14:13 |
|---|
| IppatsuMan | carwash^: that's exactly what I wanted to hear :) Thank you very much | 14:13 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | flaccid: yeah, aptitud told me that nvidia-kernel's gonna go | 14:14 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | onishidato: what happens when you click on the drive then? | 14:14 |
|---|
| flaccid | yeah so driver is kernel dependent | 14:14 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | hungrymouse: the cool thing about linux is that you dont need to REINSTALL | 14:14 |
|---|
| Lacrymology | ever | 14:14 |
|---|
| onishidato | hungrymouse: they said "hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000" and i reboot, but the same thing happened | 14:15 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | Lacrymology: i know. but i reckoned that it was quicker to reinstall than to wait for an answer, since i only installed yesterday and i dont have anything important yet. | 14:15 |
|---|
| Jay-Oh-En | Lacrymology: depends... you dont ever NEED to but if its the easiest way out most people DO | 14:15 |
|---|
| hungrymouse | onishidato: i was getting that same error, except with uid 999, when i was trying to access my hdd from a live cd. but i didnt have that problem when i'd installed linux. i never found a solution for it when i was using the live CD. | 14:16 |
|---|
| BluesKaj | onishidato, the fstab file prolly needs editing ...flaccid , can you advise ? | 14:16 |
