pierre__hi00:14
numpyhi00:14
pierre__could anyone help me ?00:14
pierre__I just installed kubuntu 7.10 (I'm beginner with linux)00:14
pierre__and I can't download anything with adept because I got an error00:15
pierre__==>00:15
pierre__There was an error committing changes.00:15
pierre__Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages.00:15
pierre__and none of the solutions I found on the web worked00:15
unix_infidelpierre__: try using apt-get or aptitude.00:15
unix_infidelaptitude install [package name]00:16
pierre__ok thanks00:16
claydohyes, using apt-get or aptitiude will at least give a better error message00:16
SilouckRiddell: ping00:17
Riddellhi Silouck00:17
unix_infidelpierre__: you issue those commands in a terminal like aterm, xterm or whatever.00:18
unix_infideljust like in windows with cmd.exe00:18
pierre__Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages.00:19
pierre__oups00:19
pierre__I tried00:19
pierre__apt-get install chemtool00:19
pierre__it told me:00:19
pierre__E: Unable to open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock -open -13 permission denied)00:20
unix_infidelsudo apt-get install chemtool00:20
unix_infidelthen enter your password when it asks for it.00:20
pierre__E: Unable to lock the administation directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root ?00:20
pierre__another error:00:20
pierre__it dont ask me my password00:21
intelikeywhat doesn't ?00:21
unix_infidelintelikey: sudo.00:21
unix_infidelpierre__: that's fine, it should install then.00:21
dmHello. Can anyone tell me how to compile a kernel module? I get "linux/config.h: No such file or directory" ...00:22
pierre__E: Unable to lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock -open (11 Resource temporaril unavailable)00:22
dm... on 7.10 with default kernel00:22
intelikeysudo will not ask the password if you have just used sudo and the timmer hasn't expired yet,     and not at all if you are in the sudo group00:22
pierre__E: Unable to lock the administation directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it ?00:22
unix_infidelpierre__: you need to quit adept first.00:23
ardchoillepierre__: Close any other package managers you have open00:23
_Angelus_what would you recomand as a good program to install a  virtual os? vmware qemu or virtualbox?00:23
pierre__oh00:23
intelikeyinfo for pierre__    ^00:23
pierre__ok... but is there a way to fix adept ?00:23
dm_Angelus_: qemu is easy, vmware is fast00:23
_Angelus_on my pc vmware is slow :/00:23
intelikeyqemu is easy  but doesn't work for the one thing i installed it for00:23
_Angelus_for what?00:24
_Angelus_i want to play mmorpg games00:24
claydohpierre__: make sure you don't have adept open while you try apt-get00:24
pierre__ok apt-get is working when I close adept00:24
pierre__but I'd prefer adept to the konsole :/00:25
intelikeyyou'll get over that.00:25
claydohI do as well, until there are problems00:25
pierre__and how do I get a list of available packages with the console ?00:26
_Angelus_hmm00:26
claydohthats where a gui helps over the cli00:26
pierre__^00:26
pierre__^^00:26
dmpierre__: with aptitude00:26
_Angelus_does qemu become faster then vmware when using full virtualization of the kqemu kernel module?00:26
intelikeyapt-cache search <something here>00:26
dm_Angelus_: I don't think so00:27
sebbyhi00:27
pierre__ok00:27
intelikeydm or dselect   ;/00:27
sebbyhow can i set my apt get to list all the softfare wich can be downloded  for eg  i won to have gcc and a list of ircds00:28
pierre__now adept works...lol00:29

dmintelikey: And how do you insert new kernel modules?00:40
intelikeydm i don't need any.00:41
intelikeydm or are you asking about the "modprobe" command ?00:41
dmintelikey: No, the module isn't built yet00:42
rredd4kde ubuntu, fiesty... will not mount my external sd card automatically.  (it does mount auto in gnome), what is the mount command for this and how do i get the sd card to mount auto?00:42

rredd4intelikey, ty00:44
intelikeyrredd4 fdisk -l   or  cat /proc/partitions    either might reviel the device node name.   and the mount point is arbitrarry00:44
intelikeyrredd4 also unplug/replug and dmesg   might show the device node name.00:45
intelikeyfood for thought  ^00:46
rredd4ty00:47
rredd4intelikey, mount point is  /media/KODAK00:49
intelikeyrredd4 as i said that is arbitrary00:50
intelikeyit's totally at your own discretion.00:50

SirChasmhas anyone had luck with getting java/MPlayer plugins to work in the 64-bit FF?00:53
jumpkic1kde4 is broken on the hardy haron A2 disc00:54
jumpkic1sigh00:54
=== litbang is now known as riefzu
jumpkic1"_: Entries in K-menu:" ... yuck00:55
ardchoillejumpkic1: What did you expect, kde4 and hardy are both beta atm.00:55
jumpkic1ardchoille: I expected that KDE4 would at least be installed / installable...  I didn't expect it to work pefectly00:55
jumpkic1it's not even installable00:56
ardchoilleAh, ok00:56
intelikeyardchoille hardy is already beta ?00:56
jumpkic1alpha200:56
intelikeyi was thinking...00:56
ardchoilleintelikey: Has hardy been released as stable yet?00:56
intelikeyardchoille not even as beta yet.00:57
jumpkic1new kernel detects my Nv680 sound card, that's good at least00:57
ardchoilleintelikey: Ah, good point :)00:57
jumpkic1kmix is all messed, but it was all messed in Gusty too00:57
jumpkic1as far as volume control00:57
* claydoh has had better luck with kde4 in gutsy at this point00:57
claydohat this stage, hardy has a lot of changes very often00:58
claydohwhich is prob why kde4 is often uninstallable00:58
jumpkic1claydoh, I hear ya... I wanted to install hardy because Phorienx said pulse audio was the default sound server00:58
jumpkic1which is not true00:58
ardchoilleclaydoh: Good point, any OS will have problem while it's still in the creation/tuning process.00:59
claydohlol00:59
jumpkic1it's installable, but not the default00:59
jumpkic1they should stick to what they do best, worthlessly benchmarking ati and nvidia drivers...  20.4 fps woot!01:00
jumpkic1I'm so bitter...   :P01:00
jumpkic1Merry Christmas everyone!01:00
jumpkic1:)01:00
intelikeyjumpkic1 yes. a happy birth day to the Christ01:01

claydohpuppy linux was best, dsl was ok01:03
tolecnaldm: did you get your config.h matter resolved?01:03
intelikeyclaydoh then debian should work fine.   both were based on it, so basicly anything they can do it can do01:03
dmtolecnal: No01:04
claydohfluxbuntu install is overheating the thing tho :)01:04
jumpkic1control panels' broken missing libpython2.5.so...01:04
jumpkic1time to go back to gutsy01:04
jumpkic1hardy is a mess01:04
claydohdebian is too much work :)01:04
intelikeyin a rudamental conception of course.01:04
claydohpuppy/dsl just plain work :)01:04
[ka]killerlol, im sticking with gutsy till hardy gets all the kinks worked out xD01:05
tolecnaldm: having the same issue here, and it turns out after a google search that the 2.6 kernels don't use config.h. a source suggested just doing a 'touch config.h' inside the /usr/src/linux directory, but that didn't work for me.01:05
claydohI did a full gentoo on the thing a few years back01:05
[ka]killerfrom festy go gutsy f**ked me all up01:05
* intelikey likes to think that he helped to inspire dsl 01:05
tolecnaldm: trying to find a fix for this, but so far my searches hasn't yielded any results01:05
=== Huahua is now known as Shely
tolecnaldm: if you find a fix, please let me know01:05
jumpkic1tolecnal: what are you trying to build?01:06
tolecnaljumpkic1: the ov511 module01:06
jumpkic1oh01:06
Jack3whats the difference between the kubuntu 7.10 dvd and cd?01:06
intelikeyjack3 the dvd obviously won't boot on a cd drive  and has more packages/options01:07
senorpedroman kde4 sucks....01:09
senorpedroeverything changed01:10
intelikeybehold: it sucketh!  sayth he.01:10
senorpedrosucketh...sucks...whatever, its worse than kde301:11
intelikeyi like kde3    but there are a lot of things about kde3 that i don't like.   ;/01:12
jumpkic1same01:12
senorpedroyes me too01:12
jumpkic1how does one fix kmilo?01:12
jumpkic1volume 0 - 11 on the OSD, not in anyway related to kmix01:13
jumpkic1very strange01:13
intelikeyi have found one thing that i don't like about blackbox    "no context menus"   i could probably add them but i'm too lazy01:13
tolecnaldm: hmmm, with the module I tried to install, uncommenting out the #include <linux/config.h> in all the source files worked nicely01:14
DragnslcrI think KDE4 will be good, but I really don't think it deserves to be called a Release Candidate yet01:14
tolecnalthough, why they would ship module source packages that fail to compile without manual edits to the source files is beyond me01:15
jumpkic1Dragnslcr: I agree01:16
jumpkic1there's little chance this will release on Jan 11 from what I've seen of it01:16
jumpkic1it needs 6 more months01:16
intelikeyit probably will01:17
DragnslcrIt might, but it won't be as bug-free as it should be01:17
DragnslcrI think 4.0.1 will follow pretty quickly01:17
intelikeythey will release it just for the sake of saying "new version is out"  like ubuntu has done a time or two.01:17
jumpkic1intelikey: that's a pretty dumb way to do it, people will upgrade to it and get very pissed off01:18
intelikeyjumpkic1 yes.   and your point is ?01:18
jumpkic1they are better off to keep calling it alpha01:18
intelikeyoh you don't like change for the sake of change either ?01:18
jumpkic1I'm all for change for its own sake, but not if your going to piss off a large user base01:19
jumpkic1it will be very discouraging to recieve that much bad feedback01:19
intelikeywell i'm not for change for it's own sake.   i'm only for change when it is useful.01:20
* intelikey is an "if it aint broke, then don't fix it!" kinda guy.01:21
jumpkic1it will be useful, but it won't out way the downside in this case01:21
jumpkic1the new stuff they add won't make up for all the broken shit that goes with it01:21
intelikeyzactly01:22
DragnslcrI just hope they get rid of that ridiculous K Menu01:22
intelikeyWE are off topic and your language is off colour,   so we best drop this like a hot potato tho.01:23

blekoshas anyone come up with the problem not to be able to install icon theme, themes etc?01:24
sourcemakerHow can I disable the system bell? set bell-style none?01:28
ScottGI'd be interested to hear this, for some odd reason even with PC Speaker off in Kmix I hear it in apps like Pidgin and Xchat01:29
intelikeyyeah in x/kde there is gui way   and  xset -b  i think    in the console you can black list pcspkr module01:29
claydohin system settings, under Notifications I think01:29
claydoherr maybe not01:30
sourcemakerno... without using kde... on the default linux prompt01:30
tolecnalhah, got my web cam to work :)01:30
intelikeysomething like kcontrol sound and multimedia system bell or alert or sumfin01:30
sourcemakerintelikey: no... not in kde... default linux console01:31
sourcemakerintelikey: STRG+ALT+F101:31
intelikeysourcemaker as i said  black list the module  pcspkr01:31
sourcemakerintelikey: ok01:31
intelikeyyou can   echo -e '\a'  all day if the pcspkr module is not inserted you wont hear a thing01:32
intelikeysourcemaker no need to reboot you know.   just sudo modprobe -r pcspkr01:34
* intelikey assumed you knew.01:34
sourcemakerintelikey: i know... thanks... it is working fine01:34
* intelikey turns alert on and off at will with the modprobe command. has for years.01:35

DragnslcrMonakers?03:01
Chemicalvampintelikey well i dont understand why that didnt fix it.. you know what screen im talking about right? with the loading bar that moves accross03:02
intelikeyChemicalvamp yes.  that's the vga=   also you might need to rebuild the initramfs.img   it may be loading incorrect modules.03:03
Chemicalvampi went into menu.lst and it says 79103:03
intelikeyDragnslcr i don't make fun of the way you spell your nickname  ;/03:04
DragnslcrHeh, I have an excuse though03:04
Chemicalvampintelikey how do i rebuild initramfs?03:04
intelikeyChemicalvamp try  788   but i think thats  800x60003:04
intelikeyChemicalvamp    sudo update-ini[tabkey]03:05
DragnslcrEFNet still has the stupid 9-character limit, and when I came over to Freenode, a few people got confused when I tried putting all the vowels back in03:05

ErtainHello everyone.  I'm trying to turn my Kubuntu set up into a router of sorts to use the online functionality of my Xbox 360.  I've been trying for hours to make it work but to no avail.  I've tried Firestarter, looking at iptable configs, and have tried Shorewall, but nothing works.  My computer uses a wireless connection, btw.  Any ideas?03:07

ChaosMachineHow can I get grub to wait indefinatly for me to select an OS?03:08
* intelikey is networking illiterate03:08
etfbChaosMachine: That's probably in /boot/grub/menu.lst somewhere.  Let me check...03:09
etfbChaosMachine: I suppose if you change the timeout value to something very large, that would have the effect you want.  Dunno what happens if you comment out the timeout completely; it may default, or it may wait forever.03:10
ChaosMachineetfb, thanks, I can try it. :)03:10
etfbChaosMachine: It's one of those rare cases where you really do need to reboot to fix something.  Pretend you're playing in Windows!03:11
ChaosMachine:p haha03:11
intelikeyChaosMachine set the timeout to none   ?03:11
intelikeyChaosMachine or comment out the     timeout    setting.03:12
intelikeyi think the later is the prefered methood03:12
etfbintelikey: Does "none" work?  It'd be nasty to mess up the menu.lst file and not be able to boot...  (yeah, I'm paranoid)03:12
* intelikey hides from etfb 03:13
mrtimbohi03:13
ChaosMachineintelikey, thank you.03:14
intelikeyhow would messing up the menu.lst prevent booting etfb ?03:14
intelikeyChaosMachine np03:14
etfbLike I say - paranoid.  Some things I'm happy to mess with; other things I like to be VEEEEEEERY careful with.  Grub's settings file is one of the latter kind of thing.03:14
etfbProbably <<info grub>> or <<man grub>> will reveal a safe path...03:15
intelikeyi mean you can boot with out a menu.lst  ....  </shrugs>03:15
intelikeyand commenting out the var is a safe path03:15
se7enis there a way to see when my box was turned off (log files)03:16

Chemicalvampok so i was putting it in the wrong line03:47
mrtimbothis is the first time that i had to reinstall kubuntu and having a partition as /home saved most my settings and stuff03:48

ChemicalvampDaSkreech well that is what i needed.. just backwards. i need to know how to boot a windows cd from grub04:43
Dragnslcrdwidmann- I don't know where that might be in the normal settings, but you might be able to do it with keytouch04:43
dwidmannDragnslcr: do tell04:44
DaSkreechChemicalvamp: Put it on your hard drive and point grub at it04:44
Dragnslcr!keytouch04:44
ubotukeyboard shortcuts can be set in K -> System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse. Try also "Input Actions" in KControl. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KDEMultimediaKeys - See !Keyboard for changing layouts04:44
masterkyeah but lspci shows 01:0e.0 so how does that put into the xorg configuration?04:44

CheGuevarase7en: /dev/sda1 try that04:45
se7enCheGuevara: that was fsck -cp /dev/sda1/04:45
ChemicalvampDaSkreech i did, it tells you how to boot a linux install CD from a partition on your harddrive04:45
DaSkreechRight04:46
DaSkreechand what's the problem?04:46
Chemicalvampi need grub to boot a windows cd04:46
CheGuevarase7en: probably wrong partition then04:46
DaSkreechChemicalvamp: is the CD bootable?04:47
Chemicalvampyes04:47

CheGuevarase7en: have you backed up all your important data  yet?04:51
se7enCheGuevara: there was a black out last night ... i am backing up right now04:52
masterkwhere do I get the log?04:52
CheGuevarase7en: there's a way to fix that bag magic number error, but i hate messing with file systems04:53

earthcreedI've been looking around for help on a click-to-focus issue.  I am running Gutsy and I have installed compiz-fusion as per the instructions on wiki.ubuntu.com.  I like my focus model to be click-to-focus, but it is currently set to focus-follows-mouse.  I have tried changing the settings in both compiz-config-manager and kcontrol and neither setting seems to take effect.05:04
DaSkreechWell if you are running Compiz it would be a compiz issue05:06
DaSkreech!compiz05:06
ubotuKubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion05:06
DaSkreechI'm assuming those are the instructions you followed?05:06
earthcreedThose were the instructions.05:07
earthcreedHrm, I have one question that might be better answered here.05:09
omarGuys how do I deal with tar.gz files??05:09
earthcreedI followed the above instructions, and then I tried to uninstall compiz, by removing the shell script in my ~/.kde/Autostart/ directory.  Unfortunately it still autostarts.05:10
taii can barely type because my computer is running so slow.  can't get compix to work with my ati card.... i need to revert back to what originally came with kubuntu05:10
earthcreedOh, goodie, a second to my question.05:10

naliothin busy channels like #ubuntu, that method saves a lot of trouble for everybody05:35

ardchoilleWhen I type "about:konqueror" into konqueror, a nice webpage comes up. Where is that page located? I'd like to use it as a template for a bookmarks page on my box.05:45

NickPrestaardchoille, check out: /usr/share/apps/konqueror/about. They apparently use a template sort of system so you have to think a bit but it's fairly self-explanatory05:49

Hobbseeflaccid: it falls under "use your common sense"05:50
Hobbseeflaccid: and !msgthebot, etc05:50
flaccidright, can you please leave me alone, that is also common sense05:50
earthcreed!tell earthcreed about !coc05:51
Hobbseenot really, because i care about useful information provided to the channel.05:51
Hobbseeearthcreed: no second !05:51
Hobbseewhich is not by giving out random factoids05:51
flaccidand Hobbsee, im a frequent helper, so i would have to say i do as well05:51
Hobbseewhen you're not trolling, sure.05:52
flaccidhave a look at logs and see how many times i did it correctly yesterday..05:52

flaccidi don't believe i've breached anything05:54
* Hobbsee notes no ban since october 3005:54
ardchoilleDaSkreech: I didn't find anything in /usr/share/doc, but I could have been looking in the wrong place05:55
flaccidcan you also note, the hundreds of hours i have spent helping people in this channel, Hobbsee?05:55
naliothprot01: did you read the latest info ubotu sent you?05:55
NickPrestaardchoille, did you see my message?05:56
naliothflaccid: the point of the bot having so many service vectors is to make it easy on the helped05:56
* Hobbsee restarts X05:56
prot01no not completely....but since I partitioned linux to fat32 i am in a new territory altogether...05:56
prot01however i am doing that now again...05:56

flaccidwhy make a big deal out of something so small?05:57

flaccidthey do?05:58
flaccidwhat other small things are you talking about nalioth?05:59
ardchoilleDaSkreech: It's in /usr/share/apps/konqueror/about :)06:01
flaccidi have to reboot brb06:01
NickPrestaardchoille, I told you that 7 minutes ago ;)06:02
ardchoilleNickPresta: Sorry, I must have missed it06:02
naliothNickPresta: you know kids these days, they never listen  :P06:02
NickPrestanalioth, heh. I'm sure it was an honest mistake =)06:03
ardchoilleNickPresta: It it was a PM, I never got it :(06:03
NickPrestaardchoille, nope. I said it in the channel, twice. heh. Oh well. At least you found the location.06:04
SirChasmIs it possible to get other plugins besides Flash (i.e. Java and MPlayer) to work in the 64-bit Firefox?06:04
naliothSirChasm: if they're open source plugins, surely.  proprietary ones, i suspect you'd be out of luck06:05
ardchoilleNickPresta: Ah, ok, thank you for the info :)06:05
NickPrestaardchoille, I'm actually curious about the template system, type thing, that is used in those HTML documents. All the "content" is replaced with "%1" but the actual content is in a comment right next to the "%1". Strange.06:06
SirChasmsorry guys, back06:06
Triggerhey guys if i dl an iso to a flash drive and set the flash drive to boot up as a dvd drive06:06
SirChasmapparently closing a chat window in pidgin quits the whole program 0_o06:06
Triggercan I get a comp with only a bios to run kubuntu06:06
flaccidTrigger: you could do https://wiki.kubuntu.org/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent06:07
krawekSirChasm: http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/06:08
ardchoilleNickPresta: And the way they put it together makes it difficult to figure out06:09
NickPrestaardchoille, I'm sure there is a method to the madness. There usually is. Although it seems to be it would be easier to just write the actual content in the document. It isn't like it is difficult to change or update.06:09
SirChasmkrawek: they exclude Java from the compatibility list. Do you know what to do about Java?06:10
ardchoilleNickPresta: True06:10
naliothSirChasm: java is in the repos06:11
flaccid!java | SirChasm06:11
ubotuSirChasm: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) or earlier.06:11
krawekjava is not supported ?06:11
* flaccid winks @ nalioth06:11
DaSkreech!flash6406:11
ubotuYou can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava06:11
krawekSirChasm: kubuntu-restricted-extras06:12
flaccidDaSkreech: hey you didn't seem to direct that to anyone!06:12
SirChasmholy, ok, one at a time :p06:12
DaSkreechflaccid: Didn't know who asked originally06:12
SirChasmDaSkreech: I have that page open already, and it outlines the steps for the 32-bit FF. I'm interested in the 64-bit FF. For the 64-bit they only talk about the nspluginwrapper for flash, and that's it. Hence my question abou the other plugins.06:13
DaSkreechSirChasm: that would be correcy06:13
DaSkreecht06:13
flaccidDaSkreech: check your log first then. i just got in big trouble for that06:15
DaSkreechOk06:15
flaccidim off06:16
se7enCheGuevara: looks like the sys was screwed up ...06:16
SirChasmdamnation! he left before I finished asking my question.06:16
SirChasmmaybe someone else can answer06:17
SirChasmok, suppose I have the nspluginwrapper, 64-bit FF, and sun-java5-jre package. From there, how do I get FF to understnad that Java is installed, or will it be automatic?06:19
naliothSirChasm: java is available for all arches of kubuntu, if you visit the page DaSkreech poked out of the bot, it'll explain a bit06:19
naliothSirChasm: it should be automatic upon a restart of firefox06:19
SirChasmnalioth: so I'll have to create a link like that page says to the sun-java6-jre package, and that's it?06:21
SirChasmjava5*06:21
naliothSirChasm: just like it says :)06:22
SirChasmhmm ok06:22
SirChasmso then it's technically possible to run a 64-bit FF06:22
SirChasma fully-functioning 64-bit FF, I should add06:23
SirChasmexcellent06:23
sn00zerhello, I changed my external hardrive icon manually via right click->properties, how do I make it so that it goes back to default, then changes when I change icon themes?06:23

SirChasmheh, I installed Synaptic Package Manager, and now I don't remember why06:34
homercyclesI need to add "mbmon -r -P 61234" to the system startup so that GKrellM's sensor monitor will always read the sensors. What's the best way to add this to my "autoexec.bat" in Linux?06:36
biovorerc.local in /etc/rc.local is probably the simplest way..06:37
biovoreget run everytime the run-level changes06:37
biovoreand on boot06:37
homercyclesand it'll be run as root?06:37
biovoreyup06:37
biovorepaste it in before the "exit 0" line.. should work..06:38
homercycleswhat if I exit X Windows, that changes the runlevel? will it run another mbmon?06:38
biovoreNot sure on the new init system on ubuntu iwhe nit gets loaded..06:38
biovorenope..06:38
homercyclesexcellent. thanks for your help.06:39
biovoreon kubuntu you only change run levels if you force it with init <runlevel number>06:39
biovoreor you shutdown.. but I don't think it runs rc.local on shutdown or reboot..06:39
biovorethe only runlevel kubuntu uses is 2.. I think..06:39
biovore0 -- system start06:39
biovore1 -- kernel loading (single user more, no network)06:40
homercyclesthanks. I switched to Linux (for good, I hope) only a few days ago. I'm documenting what I've done here: http://marcfearby.com/computing/the-migration-of-a-fussy-windows-user-to-linux06:40
biovore2 -- full multiuser system06:40
homercycles5 is X Windows, IIRC?06:40
biovoreon redhat, suse it is..06:40
DaSkreechhomercycles: :)06:40
homercyclesI've dabbled in Linux before... it just never took06:40
biovoreI believe is runlevel 2 on ubuntu, and debian.06:40
NickPrestahomercycles, you might consider KMail instead of Thunderbird. I find it is a much better alternative.06:43
homercyclesI may eventually do that but, for now, I want something that I'm familiar with and still provides the option of use on any operating system. I don't want to totally divorce myself from Windows just yet :-)06:44
homercycleslast time I used Thunderbird, but then decided to give Outlook a try, I had to run an "mbox2eml" program to convert it, load it into Outlook Express, then get Outlook to import it. Switching email programs is not very pleasant, to say the least06:45
=== ets is now known as ets77
=== ets77 is now known as etsanta
homercyclesI remain impressed with Kubuntu and other KDE offerings, though, especially K3b and KTorrent06:46
DaSkreech:-)06:46
DaSkreechgreat06:46
etsantaKubuntu 7.10 has a nice theme according to me  out of the box-06:47
DaSkreechwhat are you not impressed with lets start getting that to irresistable status06:47
NickPrestahomercycles, about your OOo issue. Check out: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries06:47
=== ubuntu is now known as licea
NickPrestahomercycles, then in OOo, go to Tools > Option > Language Settings > Languages. Make sure you have everything setup correctly. In that same sub-menu, click on Writing Aids. Make sure you have "check spelling as you type" and such enabled. Make sure you have your OOo dictionaries checked.06:49
homercyclesNickPresta: going to file, wizard, install new dictionaries in Writer actually crashed OOo :-(  very strange06:49
NickPrestahomercycles, I remember having this problem with Debian so there is a solution. It just isn't very intuitive.06:50
NickPrestaand as for the Firefox issue, the reason why you don't get updates all the time or right away, is because sometimes there is no need to. For example, some updates for Fx are fixes for Windows related bugs. Obviously there wouldn't be that version in the repo because it is no different from the previous version.06:51
ardchoilleNickPresta: That is an excellent explanation06:52
ardchoilleI'm going to use that.06:52
homercyclessince installing FF 2.0.0.11 it still doesn't render the occasional web page, so I guess 2.0.0.6 was good enough06:52
NickPrestaardchoille, well, that, and the fact that new releases aren't pushed into the repos on the same day due to testing and the MOTU being human and all ;)06:53
biovoreactive X == Evil06:53
NickPrestahomercycles, which web pages? Flash-intensive pages?06:53
ardchoilleNickPresta: Yeah06:53
homercyclesNickPresta: I just edited my blog entry on Kubuntu then hit refresh and it wouldn't reload, even though it went through the motions as if it was reloading. The scroll bar doesn't work when this happens, too. There's no flash on my blog06:56
K`zanHi folks, suddenly my .wmv files quit playing back - get audio but no video.  Any thoughts appreciated.06:56
NickPrestahomercycles, I don't know what to tell you. *shrug* My installation of Fx is very reliable when I'm not dealing with Flash related stuff. Is this behavior unique to Fx or do you notice it in Konqueror or another browser?06:57
homercyclesI haven't used Konqueror enough to know for sure but what I do know is that if I load the same recalcitrant page in Konq then Konq loads it fine06:57
homercyclesI haven't installed Compiz or anything crazy like that, either :-)06:58
NickPrestahomercycles, hmm, strange. Overall though, your issues seem fairly minimal. I'm sure a couple more days of tinkering will fix everything.06:59
homercyclesNickPresta: I'm not sure what kind of tinkerage might resolve my Firefox issues but, on the whole, my move to Linux this time has been much more pleasant07:00
homercyclesThe threat of Vista has probably helped, too :-)07:01
NickPrestahomercycles, that's good. If you're having a consistent problem with Firefox (write down specific pages so other Fx users can test them too), you might want to make a forum post on the ubuntu forums so you can be helped or directed to file a bug report.07:01
NickPrestahomercycles, heh :)07:01
homercyclesKubuntu doesn't load the screen saver after the configured 5 minutes, either. I haven't dwelled on it but maybe there's something else I have to enable?07:02
homercyclesif FF gets annoying I'll do that because this can't go on07:02
NickPrestahomercycles, does the screensaver not start or it doesn't put up a "screen" or what, specifically, doesn't work?07:02
homercyclesif 2.0.0.11 isn't really needed for Linux then should I go back to the 2.0.0.6 deb package? If I did that then everything that looks for Firefox will be happy again, I guess07:03
homercyclesthe screen saver just never shows up. no error message, no blank screen, no nufink07:03
homercyclesI tell a lie. I just set it to 1 minute and now it shows up. I swear that it was never on if I left the room for half an hour and came back when it was set to 5 minutes07:05
NickPrestahomercycles, I sometimes have that problem. There is a bug filed for this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeartwork/+bug/155490) so it should be resolved relatively soon07:06
homercyclesI've taken to turning off my monitor when I leave the room for extended periods now07:07
homercyclesit's nice to know it's a bug and not just me, though. thanks07:07
NickPrestahomercycles, well, I usually lock my session, which starts my screensaver, and then turn off the monitors.07:08
homercycleslocking the session for me simply leaves a snapshot of my desktop and apps. I don't get a screen saver07:08
K`zanGonna try the m$ fix, it was working so perhaps a reboot...07:09

I have a dual core processor and 2 gb ram, but I am using 256mb allocated to my onboard nvidia video card. I should have the proprietary drivers for the nvidia working,08:00

youknowwhohi, i have a problem regarding kde 4 live rc209:05
youknowwhohow can i log in?09:05
youknowwhoall i got is a console with "busybox" in it?09:06
MilhousePunkRockHello everyone!09:06
MilhousePunkRockHow can I install a certain version of the nvidia binary drivers, that is not in the repos?09:07
youknowwhohi09:07
MilhousePunkRockIn the simplest and cleanest way...09:07
youknowwhocan someone answer me?09:08
MilhousePunkRockyouknowwho: What was the question?09:08
biovorekde 4 is beta.. and not support09:09
youknowwhoi can't log into the kde4 live cd rc209:09
biovoreno clue.. I don't mess with kde 4 atm..09:09
youknowwhoall i got is busybox something09:09
biovoreMilhousePunkRock: nvidia driver, not from repos..09:09
youknowwhooh , i know is beta just trying, that's why i downloaded the livecd09:09
biovoremaybe, graphics adapter not support by that live cd..09:10
MilhousePunkRockbiovore: Do I have more than these two options? Getting the install script directly from the nvidia site or using that nasty envy thingy?09:10
biovoreMilhousePunkRock: I install from nvidia's site..09:11
youknowwhoi don't know much, but try envy09:11
biovoreyou need to get the kernel sources and build-essential.. then run the installer...09:11
biovorealso you will need to kill X before running the nvidia installer09:11
youknowwhowith envy i would be a hell of a lot better than installing it from the nvidia site09:11
youknowwhoi've done it, envy's flawless on my system09:12
biovoreenvy.. is that alberto's script?09:12
MilhousePunkRockIt does not look like envy lets me choose a particular version though...09:12
biovore!envy09:12
ubotuenvy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »09:12
youknowwhoyes albertoo's script09:13
biovorewell I install using nvidia's install guide lines.. work great here..09:13
MilhousePunkRockbiovore: I've read that factoid, it scares me...09:13
youknowwhoof course, but if you need the latest nvidia driver you could use it at your own risk09:13
Alcheraenvy works every time09:14
youknowwhoinstalling the nvidia driver in envy would automatically install the latest version09:14
biovorehttp://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368 <-- basicly the same thing as envy does..09:14
biovoreI havn't used envy here.. so I can't tell you if it works or not..09:14
biovoreor what is does09:15
ardchoilleI installed nvidia drivers with "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx && sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" and it worked great on 11 machines.09:15
biovoreyup same here..09:15
youknowwhoi've done it the nvidia way, it was fun, but a little complicated09:15
Alcherahttp://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html09:15
biovoreI don't know if I would call 5 cli commands complicated...09:15
youknowwhoi installed using the restricted driver manager, but i needed the latest version09:16
youknowwhoso that i could play wow the burning crusade, envy worked09:16
youknowwhoi know but for a begginer is difficult, not like envy or the restricted drivers manager09:17
MilhousePunkRockWell, I have the latest version from the repos right now, but it has a bug which gives me a pink screen in MythTV every now and then, 100.14.11 is supposed to not have it09:17
youknowwhoremember that he asked for the simplest way09:17
MilhousePunkRockyouknowwho: I have compiled stuff myself and have nearly two years of linux experience. But I prefer not to mess up the package management, or at least only as little as I have to...09:18
youknowwhoi took my chances because i have mandriva 2008 on another partition09:18
youknowwhotho, in the begining i've installed the nvidia driver, back in 6.1009:19
youknowwhowith the nvidia instructions09:19
youknowwhoit's risky but not so much as automatic, it worked flawlessly on my michine09:20

etfbJayC: (I recommend using the word "ruddocked" instead of the anglo-saxon verb.  It means the same thing.)11:56
JayCetfb: arg give me a break...11:56

JayCetfb: i dont want to sound like a record...but ill try to explain this best i can, I dont care about what its formatted ive tried formatting it evry which way tried to format it....tried everything i can i dont care how its formatted i dont care about what OS im using this is a noobish way of putting it but i just want to see 300gb there instead of 128gb11:59

posingaspopulari don't personally know how to do it though, sorry ;/12:27
bobdhicksposingaspopular: Thank you for letting me know it possible. I know where to go to be taught how to do it I just didn't want to appear too stupid there. I'm prone to ask a lot of silly questions on my learning curve12:29
posingaspopularsilly questions are encouraged. you'll find that most linux people want to share their knowledge if people are willing to learn. my suggestion is to just ask in here again a bit later.12:31

jpatricksigma_: you're free to join if you want12:37

nosrednaekimhdevalence: and its failing on the encrypted ext3... hmm. And I suppose you can't "preformat" because its encrypted.?14:56
hdevalencebut you can only do one patition per encrypted volume so in order to have swap I need to set up LVM or have two encryped volumes but if I set up LVM I get the failed to create filesystem error , if I have two encryped volumes the install crashes14:56

kyepag so that means i will still be running ubuntu 7.10 which is supported until 2010 i believe but will be using pure KDE18:18
jpatrick!purekde | kye18:18
ubotukye: purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE »18:18
pagkye, you will be running a system, that is identical (assuming you havenät made any changes) to the system you'd get by installing Kubuntu 7.10 from a cd18:19
paghaven't I mean ;P18:19

Shadzhiyas18:24
ShadzMerry Xmas :-)18:24
Shadzmy friend needs to repair her comp... so I don't have time to really search..18:24
Shadzdoes Kubuntu now support writing NTFS?18:24
pagShadz, it does. I'm not sure, if it does so by default though18:25
kyeShadz,? dont you just mount the ntfs driver18:25
Shadzif not.. is it possible to install the Linux-NTFS files into it?18:25
kyeShadz, i mount my XP partition all the time18:25
Shadzwell, i was using K6.0418:25
kyeedit fstab18:25
stdinit does as long as you mount as "ntfs-3g" not "ntfs"18:25
Shadzand before, it can only read18:25
Shadzoh?18:25
stdinntfs-3d is the driver with write support18:26
Shadzwhat version of Kubuntu is that from?18:26
Shadzi don't remember seeing that18:26
stdinit's installed by default from feisty on18:26
Shadzserious?!?!18:26
Shadzand I've never noticed it?!18:26
Shadz....18:26
* Shadz kicks himself18:26
pagstdin, it is? :O (personally I haven't noticed it, but it's just me :D )18:27
TheGateKeeperntfs-3g18:27
stdinpag: yeah, it's a recommends of ubuntu-standard18:28
Shadzooo18:28
Shadzso you just mount as usual, just as NTFS-3g, instead of the normal NTFS that I'm used to?18:28
stdinbasically, yeah18:28
stdin!ntfs-3g18:29
ubotuntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions18:29
stdinthat has some examples18:29
stdinerm, it *did* anyway18:30
effie_jayxhey all .. I played a flash video on firefox, I closed firefox and now amarok won't play .. It read audio device unavailable18:31
stdinyou can install "ntfs-config" for a gui for it (it's GTK+ but it works)18:31
Shadzoo18:31
Shadzcool18:31
Shadzso Kubuntu 7.04+ is also NTFS-3g compatible yes?18:31
ShadzI do prefer Kubuntu to Ubuntu :-P18:31
stdinyeah, ubuntu-standard is installed on all ubuntu variants18:32
Shadzwoohoo!18:32
stdineffie_jayx: see if you can find what's blocking it with "lsof |grep /dev/dsp"18:32
Shadzthanks stdin, gatekeeper18:33
trappistor just lsof /dev/dsp18:33
stdinI don't know why, but sometimes that doesn't show the thing that's blocking it, but grep does...18:33
effie_jayxno output18:33
stdintry restarting amarok, I don't know if it will try to open the audio device again if it was blocked18:34
trappistalso next time you buy a sound card, get one that does hardware mixing, like an audigy, and this won't be an issue18:35
effie_jayxstdin: I have restarted amarok18:35
effie_jayxI get the smae error18:35
effie_jayxtrappist: not much option when It comes in a laptop ;)18:35
trappisttrue :)18:36
trappisteffie_jayx: ps aux | grep arts18:36
