|---|
| Trigger | isn't there a command to retart the gui? | 00:19 |

|---|
| Trigger | natta | 00:20 |

| Trigger | when we entered kdm restart it said no such file or directory | 00:21 |
|---|
| Trigger | then brought us to a blank screen with only a flashing underscore | 00:21 |
|---|
| Trigger | and then the screen went black altogether 0.o | 00:21 |

| Trigger | we aren't getting any gui. | 00:22 |

| Jack-it | you see only the console? | 00:23 |
|---|
| Trigger | right | 00:23 |
|---|
| tekteen | Trigger: in other words X broke | 00:23 |
|---|
| Trigger | we got the option to choose what mode we wanted | 00:23 |
|---|
| Trigger | but, then it brought us to the console | 00:23 |
|---|
| Trigger | i suppose so | 00:23 |
|---|
| tekteen | Trigger: did it ever work? | 00:23 |
|---|
| Trigger | no | 00:23 |
|---|
| Trigger | new system | 00:24 |
|---|
| Trigger | we jsut installed the cd drive today | 00:24 |
|---|
| Trigger | before that all it had was bios | 00:24 |
|---|
| tekteen | Trigger: it worked on the livecd? | 00:24 |
|---|
| Jack-it | if you type startx ? | 00:24 |
|---|
| Trigger | hold on we got an option to check the cd | 00:24 |
|---|
| Trigger | so we are checking it for errors | 00:24 |
|---|
| t3hwiz0rd | does anyone know how to check where in /dev a usb modem phone is? | 00:24 |
|---|
| Trigger | quad core 8800 and it can't boot an os XD lawl | 00:25 |
|---|
| padey | :O quad core 8800? :S wtf? | 00:26 |
|---|
| tekteen | Trigger: install the system using safe graphics mode on the live cd. | 00:26 |
|---|
| Trigger | k | 00:26 |
|---|
| tekteen | !ohmy| padey | 00:26 |
|---|
| ubotu | padey: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 00:26 |
|---|
| Trigger | padey it is intel quad core 2.4 ghz | 00:26 |
|---|
| Trigger | and it has an 8800 XD | 00:26 |
|---|
| tekteen | Trigger: nice | 00:26 |
|---|
| Trigger | its not sli'd 4 ways although that would be epic XD | 00:26 |
|---|
| padey | isn't it a 6600? :P | 00:26 |
|---|
| weedar_ | Trigger: Could be motherboard-issue or video-related, can we get the specs? :) | 00:26 |
|---|
| Trigger | yes my brother got it | 00:26 |
|---|
| Trigger | custom built | 00:26 |
|---|
| Trigger | nforce 680i mobo | 00:27 |
|---|
| tekteen | Trigger: install in safe graphics mode | 00:27 |
|---|
| Trigger | we will after the integrity of the cd is done checking XD | 00:27 |
|---|
| Trigger | well he custom built it | 00:27 |
|---|
| Trigger | and now we are attempting to install an os | 00:27 |
|---|
| Trigger | and we aren't fans of whinedows. | 00:27 |
|---|
| Trigger | now we are trying safe graphics mode | 00:27 |
|---|
| Trigger | and its installing in safe gfx mode XD | 00:28 |
|---|
| padey | there is no such thing as quade core 8800 :/ | 00:28 |
|---|
| Trigger | i just explained taht | 00:28 |
|---|
| padey | quad* | 00:28 |
|---|
| Trigger | i said it was quad intel 2.4 ghz | 00:28 |
|---|
| Trigger | and single 88000 | 00:28 |
|---|
| Trigger | although sli 4 ways with 8800 would be epic XD | 00:28 |
|---|
| padey | oh, got it now :P | 00:29 |
|---|
| padey | missunderstood | 00:29 |
|---|
| Trigger | tekteen no i'm not | 00:29 |
|---|
| tekteen | ok | 00:29 |
|---|
| Trigger | and it won't let me message you back in XD | 00:29 |
|---|
| tekteen | I know someone alot like u | 00:29 |
|---|
| Trigger | lol ignorant and attempting things way over his level of comprehension? | 00:29 |
|---|
| Trigger | yay gui! XD | 00:30 |
|---|
| Trigger | now i should probably ditch whinedows on my laptop >.< | 00:30 |
|---|
| tekteen | Trigger: I have a dual boot | 00:31 |
|---|
| Trigger | lol i dunno why i dislike windows so much these days but, the more time goes on the more i dislike it | 00:31 |
|---|
| Trigger | any particular reason for dual booting? | 00:31 |
|---|
| tekteen | Trigger: I have not used windows since I bought my laptop | 00:31 |
|---|
| tekteen | Trigger:1 month | 00:32 |
|---|
| Trigger | out of curiosity are there any linux districts that offer more battery life then windows? | 00:32 |
|---|
| tekteen | Trigger: I still have it though | 00:32 |
|---|
| the-erm | ... if you're not a gamer, and you're comfortable with linux, then having windows on a machine is a waste of time. | 00:32 |
|---|
| Trigger | lol unfortunately i'm a gamer | 00:33 |
|---|
| Trigger | although i don't know for how much longer on my laptop XD | 00:33 |
|---|
| Trigger | its good but, laptops go out of date for gaming fairly fast | 00:33 |
|---|
| padey | what kind of games do you play? | 00:33 |
|---|
| Trigger | right now oblivion, fear, guild wars | 00:34 |
|---|
| padey | most 3d shooters are playable on linux | 00:34 |
|---|
| tekteen | Need to go. Dad is showing me how to install rhel on a server | 00:34 |
|---|
| padey | those are some heavy games for a laptop :O | 00:34 |
|---|
| Trigger | hm doesn't wine offer playing windows games without a lose of performance? | 00:34 |
|---|
| Trigger | : D | 00:34 |
|---|
| Trigger | i got this laptop a year ago | 00:34 |
|---|
| Trigger | but, i got it pretty good | 00:34 |
|---|
| Trigger | although now you can get the same thing for 1k less >>< | 00:35 |
|---|
| Trigger | dual core 2.16 ghz proccessors 2 gig ram and mobile 1600 ati card | 00:35 |
|---|
| Trigger | 100 gig hard drive | 00:35 |
|---|
| padey | that's actually pretty good | 00:35 |
|---|
| Trigger | on a 15 inch moniter XD | 00:35 |
|---|
| Trigger | yeah i know its still up to date | 00:36 |
|---|
| Trigger | but, now you can get the same rig for 1500 or so | 00:36 |
|---|
| Trigger | instead of the 2600 i paid XD | 00:36 |
|---|
| padey | I wouldn't really rely on wine for my games | 00:36 |
|---|
| Trigger | but, i got it for college >.< | 00:36 |
|---|
| the-erm | Coding is my game. | 00:36 |
|---|
| Trigger | but, i now have a huge inferiority complex >.< | 00:36 |
|---|
| the-erm | Ok .. solitare. | 00:37 |
|---|
| Trigger | despite my laptop being pretty good | 00:37 |
|---|
| Trigger | my bro has 2.4 ghz quad core | 00:37 |
|---|
| Trigger | 8800 oced out the box gfx card | 00:37 |
|---|
| Trigger | which is something i find stupid | 00:37 |
|---|
| Trigger | but, it was the cheapest one XD | 00:37 |
|---|
| the-erm | I wouldn't mind owing a laptop | 00:37 |
|---|
| Trigger | I just fail to see how something bought from the factory can be bought 'pre over clocked' | 00:37 |
|---|
| Trigger | since the factory determines the clock speed to begin with XD | 00:38 |
|---|
| the-erm | Even a cheapo $500 laptop with wi-fi would be nice. | 00:38 |
|---|
| jhutchins | Trigger Should be pretty obvious. | 00:38 |
|---|
| Trigger | lol yeah | 00:38 |
|---|
| Trigger | i suppose | 00:38 |
|---|
| jhutchins | Trigger: The factory that makes the chips is not the factory that makes teh computer. | 00:38 |
|---|
| Trigger | lol my brother bought the gfx card seperate though | 00:38 |
|---|
| Trigger | and when he bought it he bought it "over clocked" | 00:39 |
|---|
| jhutchins | Trigger: You're not buying Intell laptops, and even if you were they wouldn't be the same. | 00:39 |
|---|
| Trigger | wait | 00:39 |
|---|
| jhutchins | Yes, I saw that. | 00:39 |
|---|
| shadowhywind | hay all i just did a fresh install of kubuntu and tried to install firefox, but all that is showing up is 1.5pre is there anyway to update that? | 00:39 |
|---|
| Trigger | we are talking about an 8800 desktop | 00:39 |
|---|
| jhutchins | A few companies do that, offer an overclocked chip. Some even sell the overclocked chip as actually being a faster chip. | 00:40 |
|---|
| padey | yupp, try checking all of the repo boxes | 00:40 |
|---|
| Trigger | well i could understand them saying "selling faster chip" | 00:40 |
|---|
| Trigger | but, to me it just seems a bit illogical to say its "over clocked" | 00:40 |
|---|
| jhutchins | Trigger: How about if we go back on-topic, or to #kubuntu-offtopic? | 00:40 |
|---|
| Trigger | oh sorry >.< | 00:40 |
|---|
| Trigger | right now i'm just waiting on kubuntu to finish installing | 00:41 |
|---|
| Trigger | i'll be quiet till i have another problem or need more assistence | 00:41 |

| keenan_the_duck | I'm trying to mount my Windows partition, but I'm not sure how to edit the fstab file, because I don't know which one is the Windows partition | 02:08 |
|---|
| intelikey | btw i did check hd[a-d] just to make sure it was hda | 02:09 |
|---|
| intelikey | keenan_the_duck cat /proc/partitions or sudo fdisk -l | 02:09 |
|---|
| keenan_the_duck | I'm sort of a noob, I can't help you | 02:09 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | Any ideas? I am unable to use apt at all. | 02:09 |
|---|
| intelikey | sok i can help you. | 02:09 |
|---|
| AmyRose | MrGreencastle: OK, what package is failing to install? | 02:09 |
|---|
| AmyRose | You didn't give us that info | 02:09 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | Oh sorry | 02:10 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | One sec, lemme run it again | 02:10 |
|---|
| keenan_the_duck | ohh, cool | 02:10 |
|---|
| AmyRose | MrGreencastle: Please. :) | 02:10 |
|---|
| intelikey | AmyRose looks like kdebase-bin from his error message | 02:10 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4 | 02:10 |
|---|
| AmyRose | intelikey: No, that's the one that's already installed that's preventing the one from installing | 02:10 |
|---|
| intelikey | yes i see that now. | 02:11 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | I just needa way to get rid of it. Thats what its yelling at me about | 02:11 |
|---|
| AmyRose | MrGreencastle: There is a way to force it to install anyway, but we'd prefer to avoid that | 02:11 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | I didn't do that - didn't want it to break further | 02:12 |
|---|
| AmyRose | I know | 02:12 |
|---|
| intelikey | MrGreencastle if you just need a reset, close the kde4 repos and "sudo apt-get remove --purge kde* && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop " | 02:13 |
|---|
| AmyRose | intelikey: Wouldn't that screw it up if you're running KDE? | 02:13 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | I'm not running KDE, I'm using Gnome | 02:13 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | I want to test out the rc2 of Kde4 | 02:14 |
|---|
| intelikey | so in the grub shell grub> install (hd0,0) should setup hda1 as the grub root no? | 02:14 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | I'm not a kde user by any means. But it looks very intriguing | 02:14 |
|---|
| intelikey | AmyRose no. the inram copy would remain until the process was complete anyway. | 02:14 |
|---|
| AmyRose | MrGreencastle: Oh, OK, then intelikey's method would be perfectly safe for you. | 02:14 |
|---|
| * AmyRose is a DEVOTED KDE user | 02:14 |
| intelikey | stdin_ just the grubby fellow i'm looking for. | 02:15 |
|---|
| AmyRose | intelikey: It would give me problems since I install the full version of KDE, not just Kubuntu's stripped version | 02:15 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | I actually prefer KDE, but am so used to Gnome that I was really waiting for a release candidate of kde 4 to switch | 02:15 |
|---|
| === stdin_ is now known as stdin |
| intelikey | AmyRose you could change the last word to kde and it whould work. | 02:15 |
|---|
| AmyRose | MrGreencastle: How did you get used to GNOME? | 02:15 |
|---|
| AmyRose | intelikey: I would instead add "kde" to the end =P | 02:16 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | Thats what I started on. | 02:16 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | thats like getting used to having your hands tied. :) | 02:16 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | or missing a few fingers. | 02:16 |
|---|
| * AmyRose laughs | 02:16 |
| stdin | intelikey: yeah? | 02:16 |
|---|
| AmyRose | SO true, Dr_willis | 02:16 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | Will I be able to get kde 4 on there afterwards? | 02:16 |
|---|
| intelikey | Dr_willis or a wheel chair | 02:16 |
|---|
| Dr_willis | but wearing nice gloves. :) | 02:16 |
|---|
| AmyRose | MrGreencastle: Sure | 02:16 |
|---|
| AmyRose | MrGreencastle: Your problem seems to be caused by a package conflict between KDE 3 and KDE 4 | 02:16 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | Yeah, but I can't even remove kde 3 | 02:17 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | Where I'm at now | 02:18 |
|---|
| intelikey | i really do need to get grub installed on that lappy before i give it back to the owner... nobody have clue-by-four for me ? | 02:18 |
|---|
| AmyRose | MrGreencastle: Let me find you a complete KDE removal guide to fix your troubles | 02:18 |
|---|
| AmyRose | MrGreencastle: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome | 02:19 |
|---|
| AmyRose | I use their guides to remove GNOME and XFCE remnants all the time | 02:19 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | It still gives me the dependency error for kdebase. | 02:20 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | I can't use apt at all | 02:20 |
|---|
| AmyRose | OK... let's try this | 02:20 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | kdebase-bin, sorry | 02:20 |
|---|
| AmyRose | What is the package that's causin the error? | 02:20 |
|---|
| AmyRose | causing* | 02:20 |
|---|
| AmyRose | You're going to have to purge that, then proceed | 02:20 |
|---|
| AmyRose | with removing | 02:20 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/kdebugdialog', which is also in package kdebase-bin " Is the error I get, and its after it tries to install kdebase-runtime-bin=kde4 | 02:21 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | -kde4* | 02:21 |
|---|
| AmyRose | OK | 02:22 |
|---|
| AmyRose | Try sudo aptitude purge kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4 | 02:22 |
|---|
| stdin | !brokenkde4 | 02:22 |
|---|
| ubotu | If you're having trouble installing KDE4, in a !Terminal run: « sudo apt-get --purge remove $(dpkg -l | grep "4:3.97.0" |awk '{print $2}') » then run « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » - After that install KDE4 as normal | 02:22 |
|---|
| stdin | MrGreencastle: do that ^ then make sure you install the updated kdebase-bin and try again | 02:22 |
|---|
| thomas__ | hello | 02:26 |
|---|
| MrGreencastle | Alright, looks like that worked thanks. Looking forward to joining KDE! | 02:26 |
|---|
| thomas__ | overall I'm very happy with Kubuntu... | 02:27 |
|---|
| AmyRose | thomas__: But...? | 02:28 |
|---|
| intelikey | grub-install /dev/hda '/dev/hda does not have any corresponding BIOS drive." anyone have a clue why i'm getting that error ? | 02:28 |
|---|
| thomas__ | but usplash doesn't work, and from my RTFMing, 1) I can't fix it and 2) it sounds as tho it's never worked for anybody | 02:28 |
|---|
| thomas__ | AmyRose: or am I just not RTFMing the right source? | 02:29 |
|---|
| stdin | intelikey: check /boot/grub/device.map has an entry for it, like "(hd0) /dev/hda" | 02:30 |
|---|
| intelikey | stdin there isn't any /boot/grub yet i'm trying to install it | 02:31 |
|---|
| thomas__ | AmyRose: any ideas? | 02:31 |
|---|
| AmyRose | thomas__: I don't use usplash--just the "pretty colours" in text mode :D | 02:32 |
|---|
| stdin | intelikey: try "grub-install --recheck /dev/hda" maybe | 02:32 |
|---|
| intelikey | stdin ok made a device.map now it says can't fine device for /boot | 02:33 |
|---|
| intelikey | /boot is on the root fs | 02:33 |
|---|
| stdin | it probably wants --root-directory=/boot (it shouldn't though) | 02:33 |
|---|
| family | I'm trying to do an upgrade from kubuntu 7.04 to 7.10, and have run into some problems. Is anyone online who might be able to help. My experience level is moderate. | 02:33 |
|---|
| AmyRose | family: Nice nickname :D | 02:34 |
|---|
| stdin | intelikey: or --root-directory=/ | 02:34 |
|---|
| intelikey | testing | 02:34 |
|---|
| thomas__ | AmyRose: So, it take it that it doesn't work then... maybe it shouldn't be the default until it does... so how do I set up "pretty colours" text? | 02:34 |
|---|
| family | Well, the computer is for use by the family. :-) | 02:34 |
|---|
| AmyRose | family: Well, you can change your nickname with "/nick <new-nickname>" | 02:34 |
|---|
| AmyRose | thomas__: Wait a minute... you mean the boot screen? | 02:34 |
|---|
| family | AmyRose: I'll try it now. | 02:34 |
|---|
| === family is now known as colorlessblueide |
| AmyRose | :D | 02:35 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: works? | 02:35 |
|---|
| AmyRose | yup | 02:35 |
|---|
| thomas__ | AmyRose: no, I mean usplash, which is after boot, before x | 02:35 |
|---|
| AmyRose | Oh | 02:35 |
|---|
| AmyRose | that | 02:35 |
|---|
| intelikey | "could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device." | 02:36 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: Thanks. Is there a way to have it automatically put in whom I'm talking to, followed by the colon? I'm not an IRC-savvy person ---yet! :-) | 02:36 |
|---|
| AmyRose | thomas__: It just works for me on my laptop, but on my old computer, I just disabled it because it screws up the boot screen | 02:36 |
|---|
| intelikey | let me make sure the device nodes exist | 02:36 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: Yes, type the first part of the name, like a few letters, then hit Tab until it ends up on the one you want | 02:36 |
|---|
| intelikey | yeah device nodes exist | 02:36 |
|---|
| intelikey | i have no clue what is wrong with this thing | 02:36 |
|---|
| stdin | intelikey: try /dev/hda1 instead of /dev/hda ? | 02:37 |
|---|
| intelikey | did no luck | 02:37 |
|---|
| stdin | have you tried installing from the grub shell? | 02:37 |
|---|
| intelikey | exact same message | 02:37 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: Great! | 02:37 |
|---|
| thomas__ | AmyRose: for me, the screen goes into powersaver, and I cross my fingers hoping that the system is booting ok... | 02:37 |
|---|
| intelikey | yes stdin but to no avail | 02:37 |
|---|
| AmyRose | thomas__: Then you should really disable it | 02:37 |
|---|
| intelikey | stdin if you care to walk me through it i'll try grub shell again | 02:38 |
|---|
| AmyRose | thomas__: Or change the screen resolution | 02:38 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: What's a "CTCP VERSION"? | 02:38 |
|---|
| NickPresta | I'm getting a new graphics card tomorrow and with it, I need to use the latest nvidia drivers. What do I need to do to prepare this computer for tomorrow? I know I should uninstall the current drivers and go back to the default, `nv` drivers. I have also downloaded the .run file for installation tomorrow. What else is needed? Thanks. | 02:38 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: Me spying on what IRC client you're using :D | 02:38 |
|---|
| stdin | intelikey: it should be "root (hd0,0)\n setup (hd0)" from what I remember | 02:39 |
|---|
| thomas__ | AmyRose: ok, thanks... | 02:39 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: I prefer Konversation over ksirc | 02:39 |
|---|
| AmyRose | It's the only IRC client I've ever used that makes decent use of the fact that you have a mouse/trackpad | 02:39 |
|---|
| stdin | intelikey: and/or "install (hd0,0)" | 02:40 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: Fine by me. I'll try Konversation later; right now I had adept-installer crash while updating to 7.10, and I'm a bit nervous about things working. | 02:40 |
|---|
| AmyRose | while still letting you use the keyboard for everything | 02:40 |
|---|
| ronnie_ | hi everyone : ) just wondering whats a good printer thats easily recognized , I'm running on kubuntu 7.10, I've read alot of bad comments on lexmarks so i'll stay away from them, : ) | 02:40 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: Is it booting up OK? | 02:41 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | ronnie_: I have a brother HL-5170DN, which has been great for a home printer. | 02:41 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: I haven't shut it down! 'Twas in the middle of | 02:41 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: How comfortable are you with the terminal? | 02:41 |
|---|
| thomas__ | AmyRose: one other question... I'm tempted to try KDE 4.0 since it's already to rc, and will ship in a couple weeks.... but I'm afaird it'll mess up all the dependancies and hose the box. Is it safe to try? | 02:41 |
|---|
| AmyRose | thomas__: Yes. | 02:42 |
|---|
| stdin | if you read the instructions | 02:42 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: installing the packages, when it crashed. I'm now running dpkg with a reconfigure (I don't remember the exact command) after killing a couple of lock files. Re terminal, in many ways I prefer it. (I'm one of the ancient flati; still have trouble with GUIs sometimes.) | 02:42 |
|---|
| thomas__ | stdin: do you have a link to read? | 02:42 |
|---|
| intelikey | stdin grub> setup (hd0) yelds "checking if '/boot/grub/stage1' exists...no" \n "checking if '/grub/stage1' exists...no" \n\n | 02:42 |
|---|
| stdin | thomas__: see the topic :) | 02:42 |
|---|
| intelikey | "error 15: file not found" | 02:43 |
|---|
| ronnie_ | hmm ok thx, I do notice there's hp programs installed, tho never owned a printer so no clue if there ok? | 02:43 |
|---|
| stdin | intelikey: what about "install (hd0,0)" ? | 02:43 |
|---|
| thomas__ | stdin: oh, right.... thanks! | 02:43 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: I think it was "dpkg --configure -a" | 02:44 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: Ah. OK. I recommend doing a "sudo aptitude keep-all", followed by "sudo aptitude update", then "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade", and keep repeating that last one until it stops giving you errors | 02:44 |
|---|
| intelikey | "error 1: filename must be either an absolute pathname of blocklist" | 02:44 |
|---|
| intelikey | stdin ^ | 02:44 |
|---|
| AmyRose | thomas__: I'm getting you the link | 02:44 |
|---|
| stdin | intelikey: hmm, try with the device node then | 02:44 |
|---|
| intelikey | did that too " error 15: file not found" | 02:45 |
|---|
| thomas__ | AmyRose: I don't know if this is really the right place for it, but firefox should be installed by default... or am I just crazy? | 02:45 |
|---|
| stdin | intelikey: did you set the root ? | 02:46 |
|---|
| stdin | thomas__: konquror is the default web browser | 02:46 |
|---|
| intelikey | yep | 02:46 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: Thanks. I'll do that once the configure finishes. BTW, I noticed that there were problems with the emacs-21 configuration. Is there a new emacs with the old one gone away? (Fine by me, as long as my .emacs file still works. :-) ) | 02:46 |
|---|
| AmyRose | thomas__: No, it shouldn't. Kubuntu already has a browser, and it would waste space on the CD to have two of them by default. Besides, it's not hard to install Firefox after installing Kubuntu. | 02:46 |
|---|
| chealdo | gudday guys do we any available time management software for kubuntu? gonna use it for my internet cafe running kubuntus | 02:47 |
|---|
| AmyRose | thomas__: KDE 4 install directions: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php | 02:47 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: I don't use emacs, sorry. I prefer vim | 02:48 |
|---|
| thomas__ | AmyRose: thanks for the link. What's the adavantage of this other browser? | 02:48 |
|---|
| AmyRose | thomas__: I'm using Firefox at the moment. Konqueror is a faster browser, but it's been neglected since they started really hammering on KDE 4, so I've been using Firefox for the sake of having a more up-to-date browser | 02:49 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: I'm learning. Re emacs v. vim, 'twas the first I learned, and it's been good to me with auctex. I printed out a vim quickref card at work last week, and plan on learning a bit more than the basics next month. | 02:49 |
|---|
| === _Agrajag is now known as Agrajag` |
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: /usr/bin/vimtutor ;) | 02:50 |
|---|
| === Agrajag` is now known as Agrajag^ |
| === Huahua is now known as Shely |
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: It got me hooked right away | 02:50 |
|---|
| thomas__ | colorlessblueide: vim is model, which takes getting used to, but it's great and you can fly... | 02:50 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: I'll try that. I have a friend who is pretty much a guru; he uses nano all the time, if you can believe it. That one drives me crazy. | 02:51 |
|---|
| AmyRose | thomas__: Yup | 02:51 |
|---|
| vzduch | nano isn't difficult | 02:51 |
|---|
| vzduch | perhaps vi(m) isn't either, but the learning curve is very steep | 02:51 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: nano drives me nuts because it doesn't have any text selection features at all. Vim has text highlighting, line selection, and even column selection. | 02:52 |
|---|
| AmyRose | vzduch: Not if you take the tutorial that comes with vim | 02:52 |
|---|
| thomas__ | what's nano like? | 02:52 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | vzduch: No, it's easy: nano's just limited for a lot of stuff I end up doing. The little I know of vim --- and its availability --- is what is leading me to try to learn it better. | 02:52 |
|---|
| AmyRose | thomas__: Type "nano" in your terminal and find out | 02:52 |
|---|
| thomas__ | it's its own thing? Not just another vi or emacs? | 02:53 |
|---|
| AmyRose | thomas__: It's really easy to use, but it's nowhere near as efficient as vim is | 02:53 |
|---|
| AmyRose | thomas__: Nano is a clone of pico. | 02:53 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | vzduch: Actually, one of my mailboxes is on a machine that only has pine, which uses pico as an editor, which is a lot like nano. | 02:53 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: Yeah, cuz nano is a clone of pico because of pine's license | 02:54 |
|---|
| vzduch | pine is a pita.. and why use pico if there's nano *gg* | 02:54 |
|---|
| AmyRose | Yeah, nano has more features than pico | 02:54 |
|---|
| vzduch | pico came w/ SUSE by default up until 9.3 | 02:54 |
|---|
| Ed_E | I have a question...by the way, Kubuntu is presented and operates much more logical than the other Ubuntu's...but anyway, My Netgear WG511 (PrismGT/ISL3886) PCMCIA Wireless adapter works in Feisty and all Gutsy Live CD's...but not in Gutsy installed. | 02:54 |
|---|
| vzduch | and there was no official nano rpm at that time | 02:54 |
|---|
| intelikey | pico is a symlink to nano | 02:54 |
|---|
| Ed_E | Card wont light up or nothing, and it acts as if it's seen and says it exists...just that it can't use it. | 02:55 |
|---|
| Ed_E | Is this common? | 02:55 |
|---|
| AmyRose | Ed_E: agreed with you on the good points about Kubuntu :D | 02:55 |
|---|
| Ed_E | Yeah, by the way...I've found Kubuntu to be easier to use for a newbie, more integrated...by the little things like the Kubuntu logo in places making everything seeming together. | 02:56 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: Well, dpkg is done, so I'm ready to try your suggestions. It had errors with various emacs-21, hyperlatex, and python-mode packages. | 02:56 |
|---|
| AmyRose | Ed_E: That's because KDE is very well-integrated | 02:56 |
|---|
| adz21c | Hey, what is the hardware support for the Creative X-Fi in linux like? Has anyone tested this Beta driver that they released? Is there an Opensource driver for it and is it any good? | 02:56 |
|---|
| AmyRose | Ed_E: Do you have a way of updating the computer? | 02:56 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: So, aptitude --keep-all. What is the purpose of that one? | 02:57 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: No dashes. | 02:57 |
|---|
| Ed_E | Yeag | 02:57 |
|---|
| Ed_E | Doh | 02:57 |
|---|
| Ed_E | Yeah | 02:57 |
|---|
| AmyRose | well, no double-dash | 02:57 |
|---|
| AmyRose | AmyRose: It's to clear aptitude's list of actions | 02:57 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: OK. I'm looking at the man page for aptitude, but I don't understand the why. | 02:57 |
|---|
| AmyRose | aptitude keep-all | 02:57 |
|---|
| Ed_E | I'm gonna try updating and I'll get back to you | 02:57 |
|---|
| vzduch | AmyRose: are you talking to yourself? o0 | 02:58 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: Ah. makes sense. | 02:58 |
|---|
| AmyRose | no, vzduch | 02:58 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: It's because aptitude stores everything it was going to do but failed to do, and try again automatically. I just want to make sure we don't create more problems, so I recommend an aptitude keep-all to clear it out | 02:58 |
|---|
| AmyRose | vzduch: Brain fart | 02:58 |
|---|
| AmyRose | :D | 02:58 |
|---|
| AmyRose | AmyRose: Yeah, stop talking to yourself! | 02:59 |
|---|
| vzduch | o0 | 02:59 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: OK. I'm thnking of removing auctex and emacs-21, too, since they seem to be problem children. | 02:59 |

|---|
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 03:02 |

| tjodalv | I'm just using firefox until it's fixed... | 03:03 |
|---|
| Ed_E | Also if you just open Firefox and go to YouTube.com and try and play a video it will ask you to install it automatically | 03:04 |
|---|
| linuxlady | ok | 03:04 |
|---|
| linuxlady | I will get firefox | 03:04 |

| thomas__ | anybody have 2 cents worth about firestarter v Kmyfirewall? | 03:04 |

| === Scotty_ is now known as Scotty |
| ardchoille | Ed_E: But you recommended someone do a search for flash, and they will find flashplugin-nonfree - which is currently broken. | 03:06 |

| Ed_E | Oook...when did that happen LOL? I run Arch now, but I run Kubuntu on my Laptop | 03:06 |
|---|
| linuxlady | how do i install firefox? | 03:06 |
|---|
| linuxlady | I put it into ark | 03:06 |

| linuxlady | and I extracted it | 03:06 |
|---|
| ardchoille | linuxlady: sudo apt-get install firefox | 03:06 |
|---|
| linuxlady | but I dont see the icon to launch it | 03:06 |

| ardchoille | linuxlady: Always check the repos before installing from source | 03:07 |

| intelikey | thomas__ they are both frontends to iptables | 03:07 |
|---|
| linuxlady | repos? | 03:07 |
|---|
| vzduch | so does the 9.0.115.0 run smoothly w/ Firefox? | 03:07 |

| thomas__ | intelikey: so better to edit iptables myself? | 03:07 |
|---|
| vzduch | I believe I have heard that it also causes problems w/ Firefox | 03:07 |
|---|
| tjodalv | linuxlady: click the K-Menu button > System > Konsole | 03:08 |
|---|
| ardchoille | thomas__: If you can handle iptables yourself, then sure. But, the gui front-ends sure make it much easier | 03:08 |

| linuxlady | I need that ot run my local fileserver | 03:09 |

| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: FYI, installing emacs22 (aptitude install emacs22) followed by (aptitude remove emacs21) seems to have cleared the aptitude errors. Hope the aptitude dist-upgrade toes well now! :-) | 03:10 |
|---|
| intelikey | thomas__ i don't normally need a firewall. nothing running that would open a port | 03:10 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: Good | 03:10 |
|---|
| === novacrust is now known as Crust |
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: The aptitude man page says dist-upgrade has been replaced by full-upgrade. It also discusses "safe-upgrade". I'm not sure of the differences; if you have time, could you help out. Meanwhile, I'll continue with dist-upgrade. | 03:12 |

| thomas__ | I'm pulling down kde4 now, put my internet is crumby... if my connection craps out, what's the best way to re-start? | 03:14 |
|---|
| linuxlady | hey i hAVE A sound blaster card on my pc i put kubuntu on now to let you know I am a long time windows user, this is all new to me so I know i have to read a lot but any help is appreciated | 03:14 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: full-upgrade and dist-upgrade are the same thing. Use those because they aren't as chicken about doing what's needed to make sure the distro upgrades fully | 03:15 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: The safe-upgrade tries to prevent the removal of packages and such | 03:15 |
|---|
| AmyRose | among other things | 03:15 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: if you figure out how to get samba working pls let me know.... I was looking at the other day, it's /complicated/ | 03:16 |

| === Crust is now known as Novacrust |
| vzduch | I used to use Samba when I was in an environment w/ more than 1 machine.. there's a number of good howtos on the net on how to edit smb.conf, which is still the most precise way to get Samba running the way you want it to | 03:18 |
|---|
| intelikey | so does lshw now i have two hung consoles | 03:18 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: what's the trouble w/ your sound... I was scanning up, but did see it | 03:18 |

|---|
| vzduch | linuxlady: works out of the box, I have one here myself, never needed to install additional stuff for it | 03:20 |
|---|
| linuxlady | ie had trouble with mine even with the pc i have | 03:21 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: yeh, ES1371 has worked for years | 03:21 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: Thanks muchly. It's humming away now. No, it finished already. Hmmm. Doesn't seem right: adept showed ca. 30 minutes to go when it crashed. | 03:21 |
|---|
| linuxlady | i have no sound right now though | 03:21 |
|---|
| linuxlady | :( | 03:21 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: do you just have one sound card? | 03:21 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: Try sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop | 03:21 |
|---|
| * vzduch has a emu10k1 and a es1371, both have worked ootb w/ all distributions I tried | 03:21 |
| linuxlady | yes , i mean the motherboard should have onboard sound but that isn working either if it does | 03:22 |
|---|
| linuxlady | but the soundblaster is in the pci slot | 03:22 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: OK. tried it; nothing to do. | 03:22 |
|---|
| vzduch | disregard the onboard sound if you don't need more than 1 soundcard | 03:22 |
|---|
| linuxlady | kubuntu detects my soundblaster but i have no sound | 03:23 |
|---|
| linuxlady | everything is plugged in | 03:23 |

| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: Well... did you try another dist-upgrade? | 03:23 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: (I.e., it finished without doing anything.) | 03:23 |
|---|
| vzduch | checked mixer settings? | 03:23 |
|---|
| linuxlady | yes | 03:23 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: Yep. Ditto. I'm wondering if the next step is to reboot? <shiver> | 03:24 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: did you disable onboard in the BIOS? | 03:24 |
|---|
| linuxlady | no i haven touched the bios at all | 03:24 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: Well, yeah, you could try that, but you should have a live CD on hand in case something goes wrong | 03:25 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: it could be sending the sound to onboard, did you try pluging your speakers there to see if you hear anything? | 03:25 |
|---|
| linuxlady | ok | 03:26 |
|---|
| linuxlady | i will try that | 03:26 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: Er, yeah. Unfortunately, I just remember that I left it at work. :-( I suppose I could download 7.10 again, and burn it now. :-) | 03:26 |
|---|
| AmyRose | colorlessblueide: Good idea. | 03:26 |
|---|
| colorlessblueide | AmyRose: While waiting, I'll try your idea of Konversation. :-) | 03:27 |
|---|
| vzduch | for use as a live CD I'd suggest something that can actually be used as such ;) my impression is that the *buntu live CDs are more for showcasing and for installation to hdd, bot not for productive use or more-than-basic system rescue tasks | 03:29 |

| linuxlady | I figured it out, thanks though | 04:28 |
|---|
| linuxlady | thanks for all your help | 04:30 |

| thomas__ | linuxlady: I'm not sure why your sound isn't working at the moment... | 04:30 |
|---|
| groovesalad | i recently ran "mount -t /dev/hdd1 /disk2 -0 force" to copy files from a windows hd, i also added a line to fstab, i deleted the line now that im done, but now kde logs out as soon as i log in. i forgot to umount it, and i no longer have the drive. what should i do? | 04:30 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: you hold try the OSS drivers, but that would be a big pain in the behind | 04:30 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: sorry, that's *could* | 04:31 |
|---|
| NickPresta | vzduch, the package in the repo is too old. | 04:31 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: I'd hate to have you go buy a new sound card w/out know what the trouble is... | 04:32 |
|---|
| vzduch | NickPresta: are you sure? | 04:32 |
|---|
| ardchoille | NickPresta: iirc, the restricted driver manager can install the nvidia-glx-new driver | 04:33 |
|---|
| NickPresta | vzduch, yes but you're free to double check. I require support for the 8800 GT. AFAIK, only the latest driver (released Dec. 20th) supports it. | 04:33 |
|---|
| NickPresta | vzduch, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.07.html | 04:33 |
|---|
| ardchoille | NickPresta: You may have a point there | 04:34 |
|---|
| NickPresta | =) | 04:34 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: you might want to double check that you have it plugged into the right socket, and all the little gottchas | 04:34 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: I've gone in deep on stuff just to figure out I didn't plug something in... | 04:35 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: did that with a printer once | 04:35 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: "test page works fine" WTFO!... not plugged, oh... | 04:36 |
|---|
| linuxlady | i | 04:37 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: the other thing that you might try, if you still have windows, to see if it's working there | 04:37 |
|---|
| linuxlady | ive made sure everything is plugged in. ive always had trouble with this speakers for some unkown reason | 04:37 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: there you go, you might try different speakers | 04:38 |
|---|
| linuxlady | well i had xp on this computer, and it was running very slowly. itś old - from 99 so when i installed it kubuntu i just replaced windows | 04:38 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: or headphones | 04:38 |
|---|
| linuxlady | maybe. iĺl try that | 04:38 |
|---|
| linuxlady | iĺl brb | 04:38 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: fair enought, I've also had my fill of windows | 04:39 |
|---|
| thomas__ | anyone else have ideas on this sound problem? | 04:41 |
|---|
| prasoon | i am using IBM R40e with Gusty Gibbon kubuntu edition. on startup i am getting a fatal error in inserting battery. can anyone help pls? | 04:42 |
|---|
| linuxlady | thomas: i just tried headphones, and they dont work either | 04:46 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: I'm looking into this a little more... | 04:46 |
|---|
| linuxlady | ok wait - i must not have put them in the right area - they do work | 04:47 |
|---|
| linuxlady | sorry. so that means my speakers are the issue - not the card? | 04:47 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: sounds like it... I'm just glad we fixed this | 04:47 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: you could try the speakers in a different device, just for sanity's sake | 04:48 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: that's the trouble with computers they're soo complicated there are too many things that can go wrong, and it's hard to tell what it is | 04:50 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: does the volume control on the panel work ok? | 04:51 |
|---|
| linuxlady | i just plugged them into my ipod and they dont work with that. the speakers worked the other day with windows though | 04:51 |
|---|
| linuxlady | yes the volume control does work correctly | 04:52 |
|---|
| thomas__ | that's good to hear | 04:52 |
|---|
| linuxlady | thomas: no pun intended huh?? haha | 04:53 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: careful about opening Pundor's Box | 04:54 |
|---|
| thomas__ | ;-) | 04:54 |
|---|
| thomas__ | well, I've got to go now, wife has some erends (sp?) for me to run | 04:56 |
|---|
| linuxlady | thomas: where do you live? itś 12:00 am where i am | 04:56 |
|---|
| linuxlady | thomas: thanks so much for all your help, i really really appreciate it. you are so nice! | 04:56 |
|---|
| thomas__ | Bangsean, Thailand. | 04:57 |
|---|
| NickPresta | That was rather painless. Now I just have to hope that an update for nvidia-glx-new will be available before a new kernel update ;) | 04:57 |

| colorlessblueide | Can anyone help with a hard drive mount problem? After upgrade to 7.10, hard drive partition won't mount. | 04:57 |
|---|
| thomas__ | linuxlady: no problem, I've been getting help on irc, so I needed to return the favore | 04:57 |
|---|
| thomas__ | no e... I can't spell so well | 04:58 |

|---|
| linuxlady | osxx: hey | 05:12 |

| linuxlady | headphones work | 05:12 |

| osx5 | skate linux is mostly command line oriented | 05:20 |
|---|
| osx5 | most of the auto installers are confusin to use | 05:21 |
|---|
| osx5 | i just use the cli | 05:21 |
|---|
| mrskateboy629 | what is cli | 05:21 |
|---|
| NickPresta | mrskateboy629, ask your questions. try to be as descriptive as possible. We can help you | 05:21 |

| mrskateboy629 | thanx | 05:22 |
|---|
| NickPresta | mrskateboy629, CLI stands for Command Line Interface. It is a text interface to shell. You don't _have_ to use it intensively if you don't want to. However, it is very powerful and is "better" than some graphical alternatives. | 05:23 |
|---|
| mrskateboy629 | where do i learn how to use it | 05:24 |
|---|
| NickPresta | mrskateboy629, http://www.linuxcommand.org/ is a great place to start. | 05:24 |
|---|
| mrskateboy629 | ok thanx | 05:25 |
|---|
| roy_t | hello, I have a problem I hope someone can help with. when I startup ubuntu I get an alert like "The greeter application appears to be crashing. Attempting to use a different one.", I click ok but it just keeps repeating | 05:25 |
|---|
| osx5 | keep in mind most linux auto installers are crap, not near windows in ease | 05:25 |
|---|
| NickPresta | mrskateboy629, if you require help with a specific issue, just ask. | 05:25 |
|---|
| osx5 | cli is a lot easier and faster | 05:25 |
|---|
| NickPresta | osx5, what are you talking about? | 05:25 |
|---|
| vzduch | roy_t: Ubuntu or Kubuntu? | 05:25 |
|---|
| osx5 | nick i tried to use the package installer on kubuntu | 05:25 |
|---|
| osx5 | had no idea what was going on | 05:25 |
|---|
| mrskateboy629 | how do i find out what version of kubuntu i have | 05:26 |
|---|
| roy_t | I have kubuntu | 05:26 |
|---|
| NickPresta | What, specifically, in Adept, was confusing you? | 05:26 |
|---|
| osx5 | u have 7.10 | 05:26 |
|---|
| osx5 | most likely | 05:26 |
|---|
| roy_t | but I ran the apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 05:26 |
|---|
| mrskateboy629 | okay thank | 05:26 |
|---|
| roy_t | then had the problem after reboot | 05:26 |
|---|
| mrskateboy629 | you | 05:26 |
|---|
| roy_t | sould I be asking in #ubuntu instead? | 05:26 |
|---|
| NickPresta | mrskateboy629, open up a Konsole (K Menu > System > Konsole) and then type: lsb_release -a | 05:26 |
|---|
| osx5 | kubuntu is ubuntu technically so it shouldn't matter where you ask | 05:26 |
|---|
| vzduch | roy_t: --> /join #ubuntu <-- won't hurt to also ask there | 05:27 |
|---|
| vzduch | because it's likely a ubuntu-desktop problem | 05:27 |
|---|
| roy_t | no ones replying there though, so I asked here as well :p | 05:28 |
|---|
| intelikey | i need a package management option to allow the newest version of each package on a disk to be installed or set as installable is there any functionality in apt aptitude or dselect that could do this ? | 05:29 |
|---|
| NickPresta | intelikey, perhaps apt-cdrom? http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html#s-cdrom and then `apt-get dist-upgrade`? | 05:31 |
|---|
| osx5 | nickpresta: if the auto installers are so easy then how come i couldn't install firefox | 05:32 |
|---|
| intelikey | NickPresta doesn't it need a database or can it build one ? | 05:32 |
|---|
| osx5 | i'm used to mac and windows where u have a setupfile | 05:32 |
|---|
| osx5 | i had to use cli | 05:32 |
|---|
| NickPresta | osx5, PEBKAC? I'm not sure why you, specifically, had trouble | 05:32 |
|---|
| intelikey | :) | 05:32 |
|---|
| NickPresta | intelikey, well, if you add the cdrom as a source, it should look for package information on the disk. | 05:33 |
|---|
| intelikey | but there isn't any package information just the .deb's | 05:33 |
|---|
| oakxx | asd | 05:34 |
|---|
| NickPresta | intelikey, hmm. According to the APT HOWTO page, "suppose that you're using revision 0 of the stable version of Debian and you buy a CD with revision 3. You can use APT to upgrade your system from this new CD. To do this, use apt-cdrom". I don't know if it will build a database with the deb packages. It might be worth a shot. Otherwise, you might have to get fancy with `dpkg --compare-versions` and some loop | 05:35 |

| intelikey | yeah i'm reading the man page for apt-cdrom, it's can NOT do what i need. | 05:36 |

|---|
| linuxlady | yes | 05:38 |
|---|
| intelikey | add a line in /etc/fstab for it | 05:39 |
|---|
| intelikey | if ntfs you should use ntfs-3g i think. | 05:39 |

|---|
| intelikey | if just about any other fs i can spit you out a string for it pretty quickly | 05:40 |

|---|
| osx5 | linux is a lot to take in | 05:45 |
|---|
| osx5 | for a new person | 05:45 |
|---|
| NickPresta | my fstab line, for my Windows (ntfs) partition: "/dev/sda1 /media/windows ntfs-3g defaults,auto,rw,nouser 0 1" (sans quotes). If you have a line like that, you can simply do "sudo mount -a" to mount it | 05:45 |
|---|
| linuxlady | this is what i got after running the script: | 05:46 |
|---|
| linuxlady | cd | 05:46 |
|---|
| linuxlady | wget http://media.ubuntu-nl.org/scripts/diskmounter | 05:46 |
|---|
| intelikey | i would change the options personally s/defaults,auto,rw,nouser/defaults,auto,rw,fmask=113,dmask=002/ but that's just me. | 05:47 |
|---|
| linuxlady | ntfs is inconsistent or you have hardware faults and then it tells me to run something in windows (which i replaced completely with linux) | 05:48 |
|---|
| intelikey | oooops defaults and auto are redundant | 05:48 |
|---|
| NickPresta | intelikey, oh. Kubuntu puts both by default. Strange | 05:48 |
|---|
| osx5 | NTFS = junk | 05:48 |
|---|
| intelikey | but then again... | 05:49 |

|---|
| mrskateboy629 | hello | 07:23 |
|---|
| se7en_ | mrskateboy629: you need the right driver ... the easyest way to do that is to go to system settings > advanced > restricted driver and hope that kubuntu finds the right driver | 07:25 |
|---|
| mrskateboy629 | it says i have the right drivers but it still wont let me change the resolution | 07:26 |
|---|
| se7en_ | if you have nv you don't have the right driver | 07:27 |
|---|
| se7en_ | because the right driver would be nvidia | 07:27 |
|---|
| mrskateboy629 | it says i have the nvidia | 07:28 |
|---|
| mrskateboy629 | it says nvidia accelerated drivers | 07:28 |

|---|
| Lame | my dream is linux will be the os of choice | 07:39 |
|---|
| Lame | and it looks like its getting there lol | 07:39 |
|---|
| se7en_ | Lame: than people would have to spend some time to learn about there box and os ... most of them only want to use it | 07:40 |
|---|
| Lame | well its getting to the point that the simplicity in linux is getting better | 07:41 |
|---|
| Lame | and eventually as easy or easier than say windows | 07:41 |
|---|
| Lame | just look at linux 3-4 years ago, and look at it today, its evolving pretty rapidly | 07:41 |
|---|
| se7en_ | thanks to all the help form the comunity | 07:42 |
|---|

|---|
| Lame | i just hope it keeps progressing the way it is | 07:43 |
|---|
| Lame | and possibly grow or "evolve" faster now | 07:43 |
|---|
| Lame | that more people are setting their eye's on it | 07:44 |
|---|
| Lame | with the addition of all the cool eye candy , makes vista and the like look a bit shabby | 07:44 |
|---|
| se7en_ | yes lets hope at least the hardware supplier should be more helpfull with diver | 07:45 |
|---|
| Lame | yep i hope that too | 07:46 |
|---|
| Lame | i hear so many wanting to actually use linux when they see a cool video of compiz in action | 07:46 |
|---|
| sistema | ?? | 07:47 |
|---|
| Lame | hardware vendors will eventually have to take linux seriously | 07:47 |
|---|
| Lame | and it looks like some already are | 07:48 |
|---|
| Lame | what would make my day , is to see a game at the store one day ,and on the side it says "Linux OS" | 07:50 |
|---|
| Lame | now that would put a big smile on me lol | 07:50 |
|---|
| se7en_ | well i stoped to try to convince my friends to use linux because ... "this doesn't look like xp and i don't want to type so much ..." i help if someone realy want to use linux (if i can) but no more convincing | 07:50 |
|---|
| Lame | yea your right se7en | 07:50 |
|---|
| Lame | but right now at this particular moment, i dont think its "ready" for people to adopt | 07:51 |
|---|
| Lame | not the average computer users anyways | 07:51 |
|---|
| se7en_ | but we both and many more know LINUX IS COOL!! | 07:51 |
|---|
| Lame | but its getting very close i think | 07:51 |
|---|
| se7en_ | yes thanks to windows vista :) | 07:52 |
|---|
| Lame | haha | 07:52 |
|---|
| Lame | yea vista has to be the worst os ever made | 07:52 |
|---|
| Lame | lol | 07:52 |
|---|
| Lame | its embarrasing that you need all that ram/cpu for vista to do 3d | 07:52 |
|---|
| Lame | and with linux, someone with a pc 5 years old can run it just fine | 07:52 |
|---|
| Lame | and imo it looks 10x's better | 07:53 |
|---|
| se7en_ | i run compiz and i have 512 mb ram without problems my vista didn't even start | 07:53 |
|---|

|---|
| HS^ | awen, here was my original question: | 11:46 |
|---|
| HS^ | How do i make 'sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd' permanent? i added 'blacklist ehci_hcd' in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and added 'DISABLED_MODULES="ehci_hcd" ' in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common. I also added 'ehdci_hcd' in '/etc/hotplug/blacklist' a file that i created. It still loads. It seems to load dynamic instead of just as boot, because using one time the command modprobe -r is not enough.. it just reloads after a couple minuts. | 11:46 |
|---|
| HS^ | As a last option I tried 'sudo mv /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.ko /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.ko.bu' in the hope that the kernel wouldnt see it anymore. But it still loads. | 11:46 |
|---|
| HS^ | see i tried a lot. but now i just want to place rmmod ehci_hcd in startup script, and fysically remove the module. and be done with it | 11:46 |
|---|
| awen_ | HS^: placing it in your .bashrc should unload it when you login | 11:49 |

| konrad | I'm trying to use smb4k to mount network shares, but it tries to scan eth0 (internet) instead of eth1 (local network). Anyone know how I can get around this or is there a better way than using smb4k? | 12:22 |
|---|
| jussi01 | konrad: are they permanent shares? | 12:23 |
|---|
| jussi01 | ie. you want them there all the time? | 12:23 |
|---|
| konrad | jussi01: As good as all of the time, yes. | 12:24 |
|---|
| jussi01 | konrad: then I suggest using !samba to mount them via !fstab | 12:25 |

| jussi01 | konrad: go private msg the bot and read the lnks from those 2 | 12:25 |

| jussi01 | etfb: which chipset? | 12:27 |
|---|
| etfb | jussi01: Intel 3945ABG - it's a Toshiba Satellite laptop | 12:27 |
|---|
| jussi01 | etfb: iirc, that should work out of the box - what are the issues? | 12:28 |
|---|
| etfb | jussi01: Wired works fine - plug it in and knetworkmanager connects immediately. Wifi doesn't connect until you beg it (click on the menu item for the access point) and waaaaaait... | 12:28 |
|---|
| etfb | jussi01: Was perfectly fine in Feisty. | 12:29 |

| jussi01 | etfb: hehe, check the forums also ;) | 12:30 |
|---|
| etfb | jussi01: The forums seem to be full of bug reports and a million people saying "me too", but no answers. Perhaps I should google for the specific chipset and/or driver. | 12:31 |

|---|
| etfb | jussi01: If I have a problem with wifi + networking + Intel 3945ABG + Toshiba + the ipw3945 driver + Ubuntu + KDE + knetworkmanager, which would you suggest are the relevant things to focus on? I've been assuming there was an issue with wifi in general in Kubuntu. | 12:35 |

|---|
| jussi01 | the chipset, plus kubuntu | 12:37 |
|---|

|---|
| tomahasamoot | it looks great, but it's slooooooooooooow on a Core2Quad w/ 4 G ram and a 3 disk LVM array, also doesn't do anything useful... but it looks very nice. Like Mac OS | 15:03 |

| tomahasamoot | if this is the way things are going, I might as well switch to Mac OS now | 15:04 |

|---|
| muftir | wow | 15:05 |
|---|
| emilsedgh | tomahasamoot: so there should be something wrong at there, what about cursor? it moved smooth? | 15:05 |

|---|
| tomahasamoot | emilsedgh: also the applets didn't do anything at all. expect the pager, clock, and lancher, none of the applets did anything... | 15:06 |

| emilsedgh | tomahasamoot: thats enough, misconfigurations in X settings and/or not present drivers for your card may cause that | 15:09 |

|---|
| Xplicit | from? | 15:25 |
|---|
| Sebien | the installer still wants me to format my / partition! | 15:25 |
|---|
| Sebien | Is there any way to bypass this? | 15:25 |
|---|
| Xplicit | Sebien: yes what are you installing from? | 15:25 |
|---|
| Sebien | I was using KUbuntu before | 15:25 |
|---|
| Sebien | I moved all the folders in / to /OLD | 15:25 |
|---|
| Sebien | so the disk is clean for the installation | 15:26 |
|---|
| Sebien | I selected manual partitionning | 15:26 |
|---|
| Xplicit | im not sure then, the alternate install cd may work | 15:26 |

| Sebien | the first drive assigned to /windows, and the second to /, none of them are forma... | 15:27 |
|---|
| Sebien | ...ah | 15:27 |

| Sebien | I don't have a big internet connexion | 15:27 |
|---|

| Sebien | there is no command line switch to remove that error | 15:27 |
|---|
| Sebien | or change the error to just a warning | 15:27 |
|---|
| Sebien | It really should just be a warning! | 15:28 |
|---|
| Sebien | or any command-line install procedure? | 15:28 |

| tomahasamoot | I've got a Logitech cordless desktop wave, and mouse with a lot of buttons. Many of them do work, such as the play/pause, stop, next, and previous track buttons. Also the calculator button brings up SpeedCrunch. All of this is very nice, and better then I thought it might be :-) | 15:33 |

| ardchoille | W8TAH: This may be a dumb question, but do you have the word "splash" in your kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst ? | 15:33 |

|---|
| W8TAH | ok | 15:35 |
|---|
| ardchoille | W8TAH: ok, add splash right after ro | 15:35 |

| ubotu | mauri: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 20:08 |
|---|
| _gtt_ | why doesn't it list the computers? | 20:08 |
|---|
| _gtt_ | how can i get it to list tthe computers? | 20:08 |

| dreamcoder | lol oops av got firestarter working on kde | 20:08 |

| biovore | thats not samba.. thats netbios then.. | 20:08 |
|---|
| _gtt_ | how do i get netbios to browse it? | 20:08 |
|---|
| mauri | OilR0ck: today I installed guarddog but it is not clear to me if a firewall is really necessary in linux | 20:09 |
|---|
| _gtt_ | i enabled wins support on the server and specified the wins server by ip | 20:09 |
|---|
| biovore | konqueror can do it too.. | 20:09 |

| _gtt_ | how can i get konqueror to browse them? | 20:09 |

| myk | hey, can someone help me figure out a dependency problem? trying to compile hydrogen svn... here's a pastebin of the error | 20:11 |
|---|
| myk | http://pastebin.ca/837586 | 20:11 |
|---|
| sourcemaker | mauri: but I also use a firewall... guarddog is very simple to use... | 20:11 |
|---|
| hydrogen | you won't compile me either! | 20:11 |
|---|
| _gtt_ | nope, i get the same error i've been dealing with | 20:11 |
|---|
| _gtt_ | "unable to find any workgroups in your local network. this might be caused by an enabled firewall" | 20:12 |
|---|
| _gtt_ | btw, when i p-ut that last one in it reverted to smb:/ | 20:12 |
|---|
| biovore | myk: looks like the code is in a busted state.. try a check out again later.. might get fixed.. you check out a earler version.. | 20:12 |
|---|
| myk | thank you | 20:12 |
|---|
| biovore | _gtt_: maybe.. firewall could cause a problem.. | 20:12 |
|---|
| _gtt_ | i just fresh installed it.. | 20:13 |
|---|
| biovore | so no firewall then.. | 20:13 |
|---|
| _gtt_ | i didn't set one up | 20:13 |

| biovore | apt-get install smbfs samba-common | 20:13 |

| _gtt_ | samba was the goal in this install... so i haven't done anything else | 20:13 |
|---|
| _gtt_ | samba-common is installed. | 20:14 |
|---|
| biovore | don't really need one unless your running network services you don't want to have accessed from the outside.. | 20:14 |
|---|
| biovore | smbfs? | 20:14 |
|---|
| _gtt_ | i configured smb.conf for my workgroup name | 20:14 |
|---|
| mauri | sourcemaker: probably i'm wrong but I know that in linux there aren't virus o something like that as in windows | 20:14 |
|---|
| _gtt_ | i don't need smbfs unless i need to mount it, right? | 20:14 |
|---|
| biovore | smb.conf is for the sambe server.. | 20:14 |
|---|
| biovore | I use smbfs and smbclient here.. | 20:14 |
|---|
| biovore | I don't really uses the gui at all.. | 20:15 |
|---|
| _gtt_ | how do i configure the client to specify which workgroup ? | 20:15 |
|---|
| biovore | the client dosn't have a workgroup.. the server defines the work group.. | 20:15 |
|---|
| _gtt_ | well. | 20:16 |
|---|
| biovore | its just a browser.. | 20:16 |
|---|
| _gtt_ | i dunno about that, but i canat least access them with the MIME path | 20:16 |
|---|
| biovore | do a nmblookup <some windows machine name> | 20:17 |

|---|
| biovore | _gtt_: To search for computers in a samba network form the CLI you can do the following. nmblookup -R <workgroup> | 20:24 |

| hydrogen | dreamcoder: well, you get stuck with all of gnome | 20:24 |

| hydrogen | which is pretty much a nightmare | 20:24 |

| biovore | note though that win95 dosn't play well.. | 20:24 |

| hydrogen | people have contemplated suicide when they realized they had to look at gnome | 20:24 |
|---|
| dreamcoder | lol i have used gnome before thats why i use kde | 20:24 |
|---|
| cmacis | Yes, but isn't gnome more stable. I'm sick of the crashes in kde | 20:25 |
|---|
| dreamcoder | gnome has been around for many more years i think | 20:25 |
|---|
| dreamcoder | but | 20:25 |
|---|
| jhutchins | cmacis: my kde doesn't crash. | 20:25 |
|---|
| dreamcoder | i dont have a problem with kde | 20:25 |
|---|
| jhutchins | Actually, gnome is not as old as kde, and kde derives from cde which is older still. | 20:25 |
|---|
| jhutchins | However, age != maturity. | 20:26 |
|---|
| dreamcoder | i think kde is much better eye candy | 20:26 |
|---|
| misticwarrior | hey | 20:26 |
|---|
| jhutchins | cmacis: I would think that if you're having problems with kde, you'd be likely to have -more- problems with gnome, as gnome is not as integrated and efficient as kde. | 20:26 |
|---|
| biovore | hey is for horses.. | 20:26 |

| jhutchins | cmacis: How about xfce? | 20:26 |

|---|
| limac | biovore: not from internet? | 20:55 |
|---|
| biovore | no it on kubuntu's site.. | 20:56 |
|---|
| biovore | just like the 32 bit cd.. | 20:56 |

|---|
| limac | then from where? | 20:56 |
|---|
| merike | I can't even hear test sound on system settings :( | 20:56 |

|---|
| merike | no, but it was there after install | 20:57 |

| limac | biovore: so I have to BUY a cd (for 64-bit)? | 20:57 |
|---|
| biovore | http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu-iso/CDs/kubuntu/gutsy/ | 20:57 |

|---|
| nomen | Maybe someone could help me? | 21:01 |

| biovore | well sometimes it installs a kernel that dosn't support the intelHD audio adapter.. its weird.. | 21:01 |
|---|
| merike | unfortunately I'm clueless when exactly it stopped working | 21:01 |
|---|
| biovore | probably a kernel update.. I had problems with this as well | 21:01 |
