| randabis | oopd | 02:08 |
| randabis | sorry about that | 02:08 |
| Aghaster | this is the screen i get when i load kubuntu | 02:09 |
| Aghaster | http://free.hostdepartment.com/a/alphacentaurihq/brokensrc2.JPG | 02:09 |
| Aghaster | i cant get into kde or gnome | 02:09 |
| Aghaster | i've tried many versions of ubuntu/kubuntu | 02:09 |
| Aghaster | and always have the same problem | 02:09 |
| Aghaster | :/ | 02:10 |
| gdh | is that jpg a pure grey ? | 02:10 |
| Aghaster | i have excluded the possibility of monitor incompatibility. i've loaded the live CD on another comp and pluged my monitor on it - it worked | 02:10 |
| gdh | well, brown-grey? | 02:10 |
| Aghaster | hum? there is blue on that jpeg | 02:11 |
| gdh | So it's bound to be a video card thing then? | 02:11 |
| Aghaster | it may be the cause | 02:11 |
| gdh | it can't be much else :) | 02:11 |
| Aghaster | i got an ati sapphire radeon 9200 SE | 02:12 |
| gdh | it's a dirty hack but have you tried putting Driver "vesa" into /etc/X11/xorg.conf in place of whatever driver your radeon usually uses? | 02:12 |
| gdh | I don't even know if that file gets auto-rebuilt each bootup... | 02:12 |
| gdh | all gfx cards should work with the 'vesa' driver.. you'll just not get any acceleration.. but it will at least let you 'get in' and start finding the real cause of the problem | 02:13 |
| gdh | it'll be in 'Section "Device"' about half way into the file | 02:14 |
| Aghaster | i think i can get in a shell | 02:14 |

| Aghaster | console* | 02:14 |
| Aghaster | could i try from there? | 02:14 |
| gdh | yep you can always ctrl-alt-f2 and just use nano to edit the file... | 02:14 |
| gdh | then /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 02:14 |
| gdh | (or just ssh in from another machine?) | 02:15 |
| Aghaster | i cannot use ctrl-alt-f2 from what i have, i can boot from the recovery mode and get a console | 02:15 |
| gdh | so the video fault causes the whole machine to hang? | 02:15 |
| Aghaster | the only thing i can do from there is to move the cursor over that broken background | 02:15 |
| gdh | Oh so you can see the X mouse cursor? | 02:15 |
| Aghaster | yes, you can see it on the photo too | 02:16 |
| Aghaster | i can move it and see it clearly, but cannot do anything else | 02:16 |
| gdh | All I see is a grey page with a 'Website brought to you by free web hosting' | 02:16 |
| Aghaster | http://free.hostdepartment.com/a/alphacentaurihq/brokensrc2.JPG at that page? | 02:17 |

| Aghaster | for the 9200 pro, maybe its the same for the 9200 SE | 02:39 |
| apokryphos | John6000: that doesn't really justify going into the wrong channel for your question. ;) | 02:39 |
| John6000 | ok | 02:39 |

| gdh | Aghaster: VESA is a very very basic driver that everything works with. | 02:39 |
| John6000 | yeah | 02:40 |
| John6000 | i agree | 02:40 |
| John6000 | VESA 2.0 | 02:40 |
| gdh | If it works, then you've found some subtle incompatibility with your card / chip | 02:40 |
| gdh | then take the problem to the X.org people | 02:40 |
| gdh | since it's their domain | 02:40 |

| gdh | Aghaster: type 'man radeon' then and start to work through some of the Options | 02:45 |
| gdh | oneof them will probably make your card work properly | 02:46 |
| Aghaster | ok | 02:46 |
| gdh | If not, write to the X.org people, because this has zero to do with (k)ubuntu | 02:46 |
| delltony | Aghaster, you gotta problem installing the ati radeon driver or something? | 02:47 |
| gdh | in fact if you DO get it to work with an Option, tell the X.org people anyway so they can put it in as a default for your PCI ID/vendor/product | 02:47 |

| gdh | I had a 'Pentium 75 in a cardboard box' for a while.. | 03:22 |
| delltony | get in and close it with the duct tape | 03:22 |
| delltony | haha | 03:22 |
| gdh | but that beats it =) | 03:22 |
| delltony | man this dude bowls with me right | 03:23 |
| gdh | LeeJunFan: I tried GNOME again for the last 2 weeks.. I try it maybe once a year... and every time I come back to KDE... | 03:23 |
| delltony | you know bowling as in knock down pins and stuff | 03:23 |
| delltony | well this foo comes up in there with a milk crate | 03:23 |
| delltony | thats his bowling bag | 03:23 |
| delltony | haha | 03:23 |
| LeeJunFan | gdh: yeah, I gave up on trying it about 2 yrs ago. | 03:23 |
| gdh | LeeJunFan: GNOME is TOO PRESET... someone with FAR more intelligence than you has pre-determined every option you will want, and provides no options to change it. | 03:23 |
| LeeJunFan | delltony: hehe | 03:23 |
| delltony | pretty cool what he did though | 03:24 |
| delltony | he got some pvc pipe made him a handle | 03:24 |
| delltony | and put some of those training wheels off a bike on it | 03:24 |
| delltony | and puts his ball in it | 03:24 |
| delltony | haha | 03:24 |
| gdh | People criticise KDE for being bewildering with config and checkboxes, but I'd much rather have the choice. | 03:24 |
| gdh | If I wanted to be spoon fed I'd buy a Mac. | 03:24 |
| LeeJunFan | delltony: ROTFLMFAO | 03:24 |
| delltony | gdh, regardless of what it is you always have someone wanting to bitch period | 03:24 |
| gdh | delltony: amen =) | 03:24 |
| delltony | i use to be a manager at a retail store, and folks complain about stuff being FREE | 03:25 |
| delltony | free your giving it to them | 03:25 |
| delltony | and they bitch | 03:25 |
| delltony | whats with that | 03:25 |
| gdh | because they can | 03:25 |
| gdh | that's why =) | 03:25 |
| delltony | pretty much | 03:25 |
| delltony | its like that lady that called 911 | 03:25 |
| delltony | real tape and all right | 03:25 |
| delltony | they had it on the news | 03:25 |
| delltony | called complaining that burger king would not make her a cheeseburger right | 03:25 |
| delltony | and wanted the cops to come down there | 03:26 |
| delltony | haha | 03:26 |
| LeeJunFan | gdh: yep, I love linux for what it can do, I love the shell and kde both for what they can, but I hate gnome for what it cant. | 03:26 |
| gdh | great stuff - isn't America just grat? :) | 03:26 |
| gdh | +e | 03:26 |
| delltony | man it's notn just america | 03:26 |
| delltony | i have been over in germany and other places in the world | 03:26 |
| LeeJunFan | delltony: people like that scare me. Just how would they react if they had a real issue? | 03:26 |
| gdh | LeeJunFan: They'd get their therapist to intervene | 03:27 |
| gdh | they'll have their personal cellphone number on a speed-dial, no doubt | 03:27 |

| aghaster | noob question... but where can i access the "home" folder? | 03:48 |
| apokryphos | Same here. Disliked it at first, then it grew on me, and now I think it's a better way of handling things for Desktop PCs, by a long-shot. | 03:48 |
| apokryphos | aghaster: /home | 03:48 |
| gdh | aghaster: second icon from the left | 03:48 |

| aghaster | i'm quite novice, its only because i was used to fedora core 3 | 03:53 |
| gdh | Debian-based dists are much better... there's generally no need or risk from crap like rpmfind.net | 03:53 |
| gdh | you don't just 'get an rpm' - the upstream will have alreay prepared high-quality packages for you | 03:53 |
| apokryphos | Precisely. The only stuff I've ever installed so far has been either themes from kde-look, or CVS. | 03:54 |
| aghaster | i didnt like fedora core 3 for managing too much things for me | 03:54 |
| dimmak | has anybody here tried autopackage? i have... and it seems to have killed my internet connection | 03:54 |
| dimmak | i can only access my router | 03:54 |
| aghaster | kubuntu seems to be the true spirit of linux, and is quite a light distro | 03:55 |
| gdh | FC is a RedHate legacy - it's going to carry a lot of baggage with that | 03:55 |
| Bukkake | Kubuntu discs can be ordered, like Ubuntu, right? heh.. | 03:55 |

| apokryphos | Bukkake: yes, but not yet. | 03:55 |
| Bukkake | oh, okies, thanks | 03:55 |
| apokryphos | aghaster: I'm x-FC3 myself. It was a decent distro, but there's more power on Ubuntu, it's more pacey (for me), and Deb-based system is superior easily IMO. | 03:56 |
| aghaster | yep | 03:56 |
| gdh | Besides, any distro which prides itself on a major change every 6 months needs serious thought... | 03:57 |
| aghaster | i've tried many distros | 03:57 |
| aghaster | but i think i just found the one that is for me | 03:57 |

| gdh | Just wanted to rant about KIOSlaves and media players again =) | 03:59 |

| aghaster | i will learn how to use "make" | 04:01 |
| aghaster | and makefiles | 04:01 |
| gdh | That's a good start :) | 04:01 |
| aghaster | maybe one day i'll get good enough to do some linux development... | 04:02 |
| aghaster | but that day may be far away | 04:02 |
| gdh | In the meantime, go write code for the GNOME crowd :) | 04:03 |
| aghaster | well, i'm on KDE | 04:03 |

| Wurstmeister | wanted him to experience LINUX :) | 04:50 |
| smouche | got a xorg issue here (I assume)-- is anyone having a problem with desktop background gradients-- or any kde wallpaper using gradients-- looking awful? | 04:50 |
| Wurstmeister | he's cool with trying new things | 04:51 |
| smouche | other visuals look fine | 04:51 |

| Roey | hi | 04:51 |
| Roey | what package are alternative keyboard layouts in? | 04:51 |
| Roey | I don't have /any/ listed here... | 04:51 |
| incubii | yeah i do smouche, i restart the xserver and everything is fine | 04:51 |
| apokryphos | Wurstmeister: a very good choice :). I hope he likes it. | 04:51 |
| Wurstmeister | well...things are being worked on..I told him that this is developer's cutting edge stuff and he'll have to wait till the final release | 04:52 |
| smouche | incubii, this happens every time-- it seems permanent for me. Restarting doesn't help | 04:52 |
| smouche | unless I'm missing something | 04:52 |
| apokryphos | Wurstmeister: nice ;) | 04:52 |
| Wurstmeister | He's PC illiterate | 04:52 |
| apokryphos | heh | 04:52 |
| Wurstmeister | why expose him to windows :) ? | 04:52 |
| apokryphos | Evil | 04:53 |
| gdh | I like it :) | 04:53 |
| Wurstmeister | well he's dual botting win2000 | 04:53 |
| gdh | Ah the dirty truth falls out =) | 04:53 |
| incubii | oh well mine only lasts till i restart the xserver, but every time i reboot ti comes back. one solution was to set a modeline in teh config but alas taht does nto do anything for me | 04:53 |
| Wurstmeister | He's getting away from win2k more and more | 04:54 |
| gdh | definately play up the whole security / privacy / spyware thing =) | 04:54 |
| Wurstmeister | I just need to make sure that he can watch those stupid little wmv clips | 04:54 |
| Wurstmeister | Mplayer plugins will be installed shortly | 04:55 |
| smouche | hmm, thanks for replying incubii. A mystery, eh? Could this have something to do with my having a widescreen display? | 04:55 |
| gdh | yeh if need be you can get the w32codecs package from christian marillat's debian repository.. | 04:55 |
| Wurstmeister | yup | 04:55 |
| gdh | I'm sure they'll be fine with Ub... | 04:55 |
| Wurstmeister | that is what I use | 04:55 |
| apokryphos | Wurstmeister: hehe. Yup; have you checked thew iki article? | 04:55 |
| incubii | well i guess its possivle | 04:55 |
| apokryphos | ok, cool. | 04:55 |
| Wurstmeister | I run Sarge here | 04:55 |
| Wurstmeister | got all the plugins | 04:56 |
| incubii | might wanna post in the forums and see what you get | 04:56 |
| apokryphos | Qool | 04:56 |
| incubii | i ran sarge on my G4. it was such a complete mess | 04:56 |
| Wurstmeister | mozplugger is giving me some probs once in a while | 04:56 |
| incubii | the installer was lovely though | 04:56 |
| gdh | Hah, it should get a good review from the Linux paper magazines then | 04:56 |
| gdh | since all they ever compare on is how pretty the installer is and if it detected all their hardware | 04:57 |
| incubii | the one thing the ubuntu installer needs is adding the proxy question like the sarge one did | 04:57 |
| gdh | People still use proxies thesedays? How quaint :) | 04:57 |
| incubii | we do at work | 04:57 |
| incubii | saves DLing the same thing 200 times | 04:58 |
| gdh | Sounds like a good case for a PXE boot image :) | 04:58 |
| Wurstmeister | Ubuntu is very nice | 04:58 |
| incubii | im working on that actually | 04:58 |
| Wurstmeister | Kubuntu as well | 04:58 |
| incubii | but then we need a gigabit network | 04:58 |
| incubii | as that would be too many machines | 04:58 |
| Wurstmeister | I will drop it on my other box | 04:59 |
| Wurstmeister | when the final is out | 04:59 |
| gdh | incubii: I run a Linux call centre - as long as your switches have gbit you're OK :) | 04:59 |
| gdh | each w/s only needs 100mbit | 04:59 |
| gdh | since 12MB/sec is perfectly adequate. | 04:59 |
| incubii | how many machines run through the switch | 05:00 |
| gdh | everything is diskless + NFS/NIS based... | 05:00 |
| Wurstmeister | sweet | 05:00 |
| gdh | We're a small outfit.. only 30 Linux clients on one 1Gbit NIC at the server | 05:00 |
| incubii | well i want to do that but unfortunatly they still want windows here | 05:00 |
| gdh | I should really plug the second in and do some resilience... | 05:00 |
| incubii | that an OS X but thats another story | 05:00 |
| gdh | Unless you get all machine wanting to reboot at the same time, there's no speed drop ever | 05:01 |
| incubii | thinking of doing OS X the PXE way | 05:01 |
| incubii | but the problem with PXE boot is if the server goes down thats it | 05:01 |
| gdh | v. true :) | 05:01 |
| incubii | though with my workplace id have 3 servers for redundancy | 05:02 |
| gdh | We have a pair of machines and each is configured to be ready to take over the task of the other if need be | 05:02 |
| gdh | maybe 10-20 mins of frantic typing on my behalf then we're back up | 05:02 |
| incubii | ah! a smart work place | 05:02 |
| gdh | not an auto-failover, but not bad :) | 05:02 |
| incubii | glad ours isnt the only one | 05:02 |
| incubii | lol | 05:02 |
| gdh | I'm scaring myself at the moment with OSPF and load-balancing... | 05:03 |
| incubii | yeah atuo-failover is so nice when ti works | 05:03 |
| gdh | It's all just very slightly above my head, but I can bluff it OK so that's all that matters =) | 05:03 |

| Roey | anyone using kxkb for different keyboard layouts? How come no extra keyboard layouts are listed for me?? | 05:05 |
| gdh | Roey: No, none of us have weird keyboards :) | 05:05 |
| incubii | i want to try a dvorak kb | 05:05 |

| incubii | they are meant to be more natural arent they ? | 05:05 |
| incubii | once you get use to them | 05:05 |
| Roey | they're not | 05:06 |

| gdh | incubii: I saw that :) | 05:08 |
| smouche | I'm having a helluva time getting the "us-intl" (us with dead keys) layout to work write. And switching layouts seems to screw things up. This stuff if much easier in windows | 05:09 |
| gdh | incubii: the folklore story on that topic I heard was of a guy who wore 'upside down' glasses until his brain flipped the image.. then took them off.. until his brain corrected.. | 05:09 |

| dimmak | i lost internet access after an autopackage installation... can anybody help me get it back? i am not getting much help from the #autopackage community... apparently i am an anomaly | 05:16 |
| smouche | What pisses me off though, is that there are Englsih speakers who may have occasion to at least quote something in another language -- but the folks who set a lot of standards seem to have been relentlessly monolingual | 05:16 |
| dimmak | i just want internet back on my desktop:-( | 05:16 |
| smouche | shit. Englsih speakers, heh, I am one, believe it or not. This keyboard is larger than the one I'm used to... | 05:16 |
| gdh | smouche: I'll certainly admit that I miss the Windows style of being able to do common accents on a US/UK keyboard by Ctrl-Alt-E etc. | 05:17 |
| gdh | I have absolutely no idea how to do accented characters in Linux | 05:17 |
| incubii | id help you if i knew what autopackage was | 05:17 |
| smouche | my favorite thoughtless English chauvinist idiocy is the use of CamelCase for wikis -- how the hell do Germans cope with that? | 05:17 |
| gdh | Yeh, I've never heard of autopackage | 05:17 |
| gdh | smouche: That statement means nothing whatsoever to me, sorry :| | 05:18 |
| regeya | CamelCase IsNot ProperEnglish | 05:18 |
| smouche | gdh, the US-International keyboard for windows is the greatest invention since sliced bread. | 05:18 |
| dimmak | autopackage.org ... you'll be redirected to a random mirror due to the recent slashdotting | 05:18 |
| regeya | a popular Python-based wiki is MoinMoin, written by a german | 05:19 |
| dimmak | i first heard about it when gaim provided a .package installation | 05:19 |
| incubii | we use moinmoin at work | 05:19 |
| smouche | gdh, German requires Capitalization for every Noun. CamelCased wiki names don't work well for that. | 05:19 |
| gdh | Ah, only one step away from Microsoft's lngHungarianNotation | 05:19 |
| incubii | yuck i hate hungarian notation | 05:19 |
| gdh | amen :) | 05:19 |
| === incubii stabs random air | ||
| dimmak | but at the moment... i can access my router on my network... i just can't get past it to the internet | 05:19 |
| dimmak | so i can't ping google.com or anything | 05:19 |
| incubii | have you set your gateway to the router ip | 05:20 |
| dimmak | it happened after doing an autopackage of firefox 1.0.2 ... i just want to fix it | 05:20 |
| regeya | so when I name a variable isThisStupid, does God kill a puppy? | 05:20 |
| dimmak | everything looks normal in ifconfig | 05:20 |
| incubii | depends is the Puppy of type Integer | 05:20 |
| gdh | regeya: three, actually. | 05:20 |
| Roey | HI | 05:20 |
| regeya | gah! | 05:20 |
| gdh | Either 1) you should inherently KNOW asa coder what the type is.. | 05:21 |
| Roey | what are the nvidia packages for kubuntu, besides nvidia-glx ? | 05:21 |
| smouche | GodKillsPuppiesNoMatterWhatYouDoRegeya | 05:21 |
| gdh | or. 2) it shouldn't MATTER to the language. | 05:21 |
| Roey | what are the nvidia packages for xorg? | 05:21 |
| incubii | i cant be arse making my current kubuntu work. KDE just stops at initiaizing peripherals | 05:21 |
| gdh | Roey: apt-cache search nvidia turns up a lot of things... | 05:22 |
| dimmak | hey... it crawls for me there too | 05:22 |
| gdh | including the 'linux-restricted-modules' packages | 05:22 |
| dimmak | initializing peripherals slows way down | 05:22 |
| gdh | (probably from multiverse) | 05:22 |
| incubii | the problem with hungarian notation is non-english people have a hard time reading the variable names and functions etc | 05:22 |
| smouche | yeah, incubii-- it kind of hangs on peripherals for me too, but eventually makes it. I avoid the whole thing most of the time by just hibernating. | 05:22 |
| Roey | gdh: I'VE LOOKED. | 05:22 |
| incubii | well it worked the first install | 05:23 |
| Roey | gdh: I isntalled nvidia-glx | 05:23 |
| Roey | gdh: but that's just for the kernel. | 05:23 |
| incubii | but everyone after that fails there | 05:23 |
| Roey | gdh: not X. | 05:23 |
| Roey | gdh: not xorg rather. | 05:23 |
| incubii | nto really important though, after all it is only a preview release | 05:23 |
| incubii | what annoyed me more was i couldnt watch DVDs but i could use the DVD burner to burn them | 05:24 |
| incubii | :D | 05:24 |
| smouche | Sometimes, it just skips starting my touchpad altogether. Fortunately there's a switch on this laptop that'll start it. Usually. | 05:24 |
| gdh | Roey: Are you sure? | 05:26 |
| gdh | roey: nvidia-glx contains the file ./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/nvidia_drv.o | 05:26 |
| gdh | amongst many others | 05:26 |

| incubii | lol | 05:35 |
| regeya | yes | 05:35 |
| incubii | im use to 24 hour | 05:35 |
| Roey | same here. | 05:36 |
| incubii | kubuntu ppc should come with an smp kernel on the cd | 05:36 |
| regeya | I believe the 12-24 hour thing is linked to region, so if you're from, say, USia and have your lang set to en_US it should be 12-hour | 05:36 |
| smouche | pepsi, I can't find an option for that. Not in the "configure clock" dialog, anyway | 05:36 |
| regeya | though I dunno | 05:36 |
| pepsi | right click on it and go to Preferences | 05:37 |
| pepsi | oh shit | 05:37 |
| pepsi | this is #kubuntu | 05:37 |
| smouche | well, it seems like I set the region about 8 times already, but I'll try again | 05:37 |
| incubii | lol | 05:37 |
| pepsi | so i dunno | 05:37 |
| pepsi | its probably something similar though :D | 05:37 |
| === incubii waits for bubuntu | ||
| smouche | yeah, set to Eastern Time. There's no option here for 12 hour format, at least in the panel clock applet | 05:38 |
| regeya | the only thing I know of is changing your region | 05:38 |
| incubii | yeah set it to australia | 05:38 |
| incubii | you know you want to | 05:38 |
| smouche | 'course I could use "fuzzy clock"... ;-) | 05:38 |
| regeya | you can do so through the control center: Regional & Accessibility -> Country/Region & Language | 05:39 |
| regeya | or alternatively | 05:39 |
| regeya | if you're in a region that defaults to 24-hour time | 05:39 |
| omni_lonnie | or right click on the clock applet and click "Date & Time Format" | 05:40 |
| regeya | in that same entry, you can change it under the time & dates tab | 05:40 |
| regeya | or that | 05:40 |
| regeya | :-} | 05:40 |
| incubii | or just learn 24 hour time | 05:40 |
| omni_lonnie | ;) | 05:40 |
| regeya | gets you to the same panel! teehee | 05:40 |
| smouche | omni_lonnie -- that must be the options screen I missed. | 05:42 |
| smouche | Seems to me all that stuff should be available under "configure clock" | 05:42 |
| omni_lonnie | yep, but it's there :) | 05:42 |
| incubii | you know the installer should say "updating apt repositories" instaled of "testing network repository" | 05:42 |
| incubii | instead* | 05:42 |
| smouche | anyway, thanks omni_lonnie -- | 05:43 |
| omni_lonnie | no prob | 05:43 |
| === claydoh [~clay@65.99.186.204] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| smouche | I have to guess at the settings, and I think the panel needs to be restarted to even see the changes... | 05:44 |
| regeya | yes | 05:45 |
| regeya | I'm guessing you want 12-hour. there's an option labeled 'pH:MM:SS AMPM' | 05:45 |
| regeya | clear as mud | 05:45 |
| smouche | yeah, that's it... | 05:46 |
| regeya | and yeah, the clock has to be restarted... | 05:46 |
| smouche | thanks folks! | 05:46 |
| smouche | actually, what I'd really like is to have more than one clock in a panel, with different time zones, but I'm assuming those settings are global only... | 05:48 |
| omni_lonnie | actually, you can have dofferent time zones on different clocks | 05:49 |
| omni_lonnie | just right click on one and choose "Show Timezone". Each clock applet can be set seperately! | 05:50 |

| omni_lonnie | well, it has windows, icons, a "start menu", a "trash can" and a lot more... | 05:58 |
| difekta | you mean the menu in the task bar? | 05:58 |
| difekta | /usr/share/applications/*.desktop | 05:58 |
| LeeJunFan | difekta: yeah. | 05:58 |
| difekta | freedesktop guidelines. | 05:58 |
| omni_lonnie | oh, wait that is mac like too... | 05:58 |
| omni_lonnie | and gnome like too ;) | 05:58 |
| difekta | i think gnome is way more mac-like. aesthetic, pleasing to the eye. sophisticated. | 05:58 |
| LeeJunFan | personally I can't stand the mac granny look n feel. | 05:59 |
| omni_lonnie | umm ok, but this is the *k*ubuntu channel ;) | 05:59 |
| difekta | doh..i don't have kde. | 06:00 |
| difekta | it looks so sleek and futuristic. | 06:00 |
| === difekta installs kde real quick. | ||
| smouche | People let too much ride on how a distro looks "out of the box". | 06:00 |
| difekta | woah..half a gig? forget that. | 06:01 |
| difekta | i toyed with kde. it has all of these way commercial feeling look-and-feel theme choosing options. | 06:01 |
| difekta | it's terrible. it feels so plasticy and commercialized. | 06:01 |
| LeeJunFan | difekta: yeah, that size comes from features like a menu editor. :) | 06:01 |
| difekta | you can edit the menu in gnome just fine. | 06:02 |
| LeeJunFan | difekta: and a mac doesn't? | 06:02 |
| === Roey [~Roey@pcp04370251pcs.nrockv01.md.comcast.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| Roey | helloo again | 06:02 |
| difekta | no. | 06:02 |
| omni_lonnie | smouche: I agree. I *always* customize the desktop I'm using no mater what it is... | 06:02 |
| difekta | okay, the "plastic" theme is absolutely atrocious. | 06:02 |
| smouche | kde is far less confusing for a new linux user, not because it's "like windows" but because (most of) the menus etc are self-explanatory, many of the applets work a lot better, it's just less aggravating to learn how to use... | 06:03 |
| smouche | imho | 06:03 |
| dimmak | i don't like gnome spatial file management by default... and is there an easy way to edit window settings in gnome? | 06:03 |
| dimmak | like eliminating the border | 06:03 |
| smouche | dimmak, don't know, I dropped gnome for kde -- try the #ubuntu channel. | 06:04 |
| LeeJunFan | dimmak: last time I used gnome you couldn't even chose fonts w/o some cryptic string/name. | 06:04 |
| dimmak | kde has more potential to get cluttered up | 06:04 |
| dimmak | but i prefer it | 06:04 |
| smouche | but dimmak, I think you need to look at the metacity or nautilus settings buried in gconfig. | 06:04 |
| dimmak | i don't plan on touching gnome for a while... i was just interested | 06:05 |
| incubii | i prefer KDE | 06:05 |
| incubii | gnome jsut prohibits me from doing anything | 06:05 |
| smouche | The latest version of kde seems like a gigantic improvement over ones I tried before, and the (k)ubuntu packaging was very very good | 06:06 |
| calc | LeeJunFan: erm font chooser looks roughly like kde's | 06:06 |
| smouche | I detest that gconfig thing in gnome. How's a new user even supposed to know that they have to look at the settings for "metacity", buried in with all other apps, just so they can alter window behaviour? | 06:07 |
| calc | LeeJunFan: so maybe you haven't used gnome in many years? | 06:07 |
| calc | smouche: they aren't supposed to use gconf-editor | 06:07 |
| smouche | I mean shit, a new user doesn't even know what "metacity" is. | 06:08 |
| LeeJunFan | calc: yeah, I know it's been a while. I used to be hardcore anti qpl license, so I stuck it with gnome for a long time. But when qt relaxed a bit I was able to like kde better. | 06:08 |
| calc | the part they are supposed to modify is exposed in preferences options | 06:08 |
| calc | on ubuntu that is system->preferences->window | 06:08 |
| smouche | I couldn't find anything in those (awful) gnome menus that I *was* supposed to use, though, calc | 06:08 |
| calc | smouche: not my fault you are illiterate :) | 06:09 |
| LeeJunFan | but I always hated gnomes rough edges and lack of standard features, etc... I'm gonna give it a try on one of my other systems in the next couple days - the live demo, just to check it out. | 06:09 |
| smouche | that's gnome elitism all the way... ;-) Actually, I know there's a "gnome control panel", but when I tried gnome warty, inexplicably it didn't appear in any menus. Just gconfig. | 06:10 |
| dimmak | well i am gonna play around with ndiswrapper... see you llater | 06:10 |
| calc | LeeJunFan: i was the same way but found kde very lacking in consistency so switched back to gnome | 06:10 |
| calc | perhaps kubuntu fixed the problems with kde upstream | 06:10 |
| incubii | gnome cant use my dialup | 06:11 |
| incubii | i have to dial from the console | 06:11 |
| incubii | :D | 06:11 |
| calc | that was broken for many years on kde as well | 06:11 |
| calc | at least in debian | 06:11 |
| calc | primarily i guess since no developers used dialup | 06:12 |
| delltony | man i feel for folks that use dialup now days | 06:12 |
| === incubii uses 28.8kb thanks to the miracles of pair gain technology, oh what a miracle it is! | ||

| incubii | we have 2mb/2mb at work | 06:14 |
| incubii | that i continaully flat line | 06:14 |
| incubii | lol | 06:14 |

| delltony | i gotta get my porn fast :) | 06:14 |
| incubii | we are trying to get 8/8 | 06:14 |
| incubii | which means i get my isos even faster | 06:15 |
| incubii | :D | 06:15 |
| delltony | well actually the server i use is not capped | 06:15 |
| smouche | Good night, one and all, or good morning, or whatever time zone applies, and thanks for the help and hints | 06:15 |
| incubii | pff clean install of kubuntu and it still hangs on peripherals | 06:15 |
| === incubii stabs stuff | ||
| delltony | but as long as as i average 1920 a sec then they leave the cap off | 06:16 |
| calc | since i haven't been uploading kde in the past few months i haven't really missed fast internet | 06:16 |
| delltony | so at times ill shoot it thru the roof | 06:16 |
| calc | i only have 1000/128 now | 06:16 |
| regeya | hangs on peripherals... | 06:16 |
| regeya | ? | 06:16 |
| incubii | yeah KDE does | 06:16 |
| regeya | ? | 06:16 |
| incubii | then it goes away to jsut the background and does nothign else | 06:16 |
| incubii | 1 out of 10 installs has actually worked | 06:17 |
| regeya | wow...I must have one of those 10 | 06:17 |
| === regeya feels lucky | ||
| incubii | im on PPC though | 06:17 |
| incubii | ;) | 06:17 |

| incubii | i dont want it on my PC | 06:17 |
| incubii | just my duel G4 | 06:18 |
| LeeJunFan | I've done a couple amd64's and a couple i386. | 06:18 |
| incubii | woa its getting there slowly | 06:20 |
| incubii | omg it appeard | 06:20 |
| incubii | ow! | 06:21 |
| incubii | it onyl took 10 mins to load KDE | 06:21 |
| incubii | :D | 06:21 |
| difekta | OKAY, I challenge anybody to top this screenshot in KDE : http://brokenladder.com/images/SCREENSHOT.PNG | 06:21 |
| calc | incubii: do you have a lo interface? | 06:21 |
| incubii | eh probably, the nic grabs DHCP assigned ip of the windows 2k3 ICS | 06:22 |
| incubii | yeah i got lo | 06:22 |
| difekta | you give up don't you? that's right. because gnome owns kde. | 06:23 |
| regeya | difekta: | 06:23 |
| incubii | what are we trying to TOP exactly ? | 06:23 |
| LeeJunFan | slackware dropped gnome. | 06:23 |
| difekta | something that looks that slick. | 06:23 |
| difekta | no way1 | 06:23 |
| incubii | you have a few windows open | 06:23 |
| incubii | wow! | 06:23 |
| LeeJunFan | http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=05/03/28/009237&from=rss | 06:23 |
| incubii | with a crud theme | 06:23 |
| difekta | right. open windows is what most people do in a gui. | 06:23 |
| difekta | crud? | 06:23 |
| regeya | wow, that's an ugly screenie | 06:23 |
| difekta | it's slick as hell. | 06:23 |
| difekta | you are insane. | 06:23 |
| chavo | difekta, http://2sdw.com/images/3-13.png | 06:23 |
| incubii | pff its an OS X crappy clone | 06:24 |
| difekta | i have a mac osx wallpaper with an awesome minimalistic slick-ass-hell setup. | 06:24 |
| === calc likes the default ubuntu theme better than that | ||
| === incubii agrees | ||
| incubii | what theme is that shavo | 06:25 |
| incubii | chavo* | 06:25 |
| difekta | that's okay i guess. but the icon theme is silly. | 06:25 |
| difekta | way overdone. | 06:25 |
| chavo | difekta, http://2sdw.com/images/2-23.png | 06:25 |
| difekta | and the kmail logo ruins your whole shot because it's so ugly. | 06:25 |
| difekta | 404 on that one dude. | 06:26 |
| difekta | i do like the minimalistic aspect of the first shot. | 06:26 |
| chavo | http://2sdw.com/images/02-23.png | 06:26 |
| LeeJunFan | not as ugly as all those nasty square lesstif looking gtk widgets. | 06:26 |
| difekta | square looks better. | 06:26 |
| difekta | there are round gtk things too. | 06:26 |
| LeeJunFan | they still look plain and old. | 06:27 |
| === regeya waits for his l33t dialup connection to finish uploading a jpeg screenshot... | ||
| incubii | lol regeya | 06:27 |
| difekta | a perfect kde example there. the title bars have gradients, which look terrible. and the pop-up menu there has an embossed look. | 06:27 |
| incubii | likewise | 06:27 |
| incubii | still loading the first one :D | 06:28 |
| difekta | instead of just having a flat highlight effect. | 06:28 |
| chavo | difekta, you can change the look of the menu | 06:28 |
| incubii | flat is last millenia | 06:28 |
| chavo | from the control center | 06:28 |
| difekta | i know that. | 06:28 |
| regeya | difekta: you'd probably like kde better if it still had the kde1 windowstyles | 06:28 |
| difekta | no. | 06:28 |
| chavo | can you do that with any gnome themes. | 06:28 |
| difekta | kde used to be way uglier. | 06:28 |
| difekta | kde is just so overdone. | 06:28 |
| difekta | it needs minimalism. | 06:28 |
| incubii | its not a minimalistic desktop environment | 06:29 |
| incubii | if you want that get XFCE or fluxbox | 06:29 |
| regeya | http://home.earthlink.net/~regeya/shot-20050327.jpg <- heh | 06:29 |
| difekta | but it should feel light and responsive and not so overdone. | 06:29 |
| chavo | man my server is slow tonight | 06:29 |
| incubii | thats like telling me ford should be holden | 06:29 |
| LeeJunFan | difekta: that's what bash is for (minimalism). | 06:29 |
| difekta | the first screenshot was pretty nice. | 06:29 |
| difekta | lol. | 06:29 |
| difekta | that's too minimalistic. | 06:29 |
| difekta | i think fluxbox looks awesome with the minimalistic theme; but it doesn't have enough functionality. | 06:29 |
| chavo | http://2sdw.com/images/3-06.png | 06:30 |
| incubii | well what exactly do you need | 06:30 |
| difekta | lemme look | 06:30 |
| chavo | I like my computer to work for me, not the other way around. | 06:30 |
| randabis_ | the new kde rocks :) It made me switch | 06:30 |
| difekta | the soft solid color is better, but the icons look atrocious. | 06:30 |
| difekta | how new? | 06:30 |
| difekta | i used kde a couple months ago and it still sucked. | 06:31 |
| incubii | 3.4 | 06:31 |
| difekta | how new is that? | 06:31 |
| incubii | like 2 weeks | 06:31 |
| regeya | those icons give me the horny | 06:31 |
| difekta | oh. maybe i'll try it out. | 06:31 |
| incubii | lol regeya | 06:31 |
| chavo | same screen with diff. icons http://2sdw.com/images/3-06.png | 06:31 |
| difekta | kde just feels kinda bloated i guess..that's the only way i can describe it. | 06:31 |
| Roey | anyone here see any keyboard layouts besides English? | 06:31 |
| regeya | they were windows first, and I think they were "ported" to gnome, then kde...could be remembering wrong | 06:31 |
| chavo | those are a gnome icon set, ported to KDE by the way. | 06:31 |
| Roey | I don't ahve any listed when I try to confiure... | 06:31 |
| incubii | to each his own difekta | 06:31 |
| Roey | *configure | 06:32 |
| regeya | excellent! go away. | 06:32 |
| chavo | he said "bloated" | 06:32 |
| incubii | look at all the people that praise windows | 06:32 |
| Roey | *who praise windows | 06:32 |
| Roey | objects->that, people->who | 06:32 |

| Roey | hurtsa lot it | 06:33 |
| LeeJunFan | chavo: please tell me you know what I was referencing when I said that :) | 06:33 |
| Roey | randabis_: is that an in-game image? | 06:33 |
| incubii | is that console using alpha transparency or just screenshotting the background ? | 06:33 |
| Roey | randabis_: do you have the source at all? | 06:33 |
| chavo | LeeJunFan, ??? | 06:33 |
| LeeJunFan | Beavis and Butthead. | 06:34 |
| regeya | difekta: I blame Rasterman, but he did it to GTK+, and KDE followed suit. | 06:34 |
| chavo | LeeJunFan, oh I missed that, sorry. | 06:34 |
| randabis_ | Roey, I forgot where I got that picture :/ | 06:34 |
| Roey | randabis_: can you put it up somewhre? | 06:34 |
| regeya | difekta: now GNOMErs fight to rewrite history, make GNOME look like the non-l33t non-configurable choice, and make fun of KDE for being as flexible as GNOME once was | 06:34 |
| LeeJunFan | chavo: np. Just didn't want you to think I was attacking you for something. | 06:34 |
| regeya | difekta: that doesn't excuse KDE devs for crapping up an excellent system, but it's not like they did it first. ;-) | 06:35 |
| chavo | incubii, that's fake trans in the console. But you can enable real trans by uncommenting some parts of konsole code. | 06:35 |
| incubii | ah, dont think i will be doing that | 06:35 |
| chavo | no it doesn't work that well | 06:36 |
| === LeeJunFan wishes I still had an old screenshot of when I was running gnome on E while using konqueror from days long past. | ||
| chavo | besides real transparency all the time makes it too hard to read | 06:36 |
| regeya | indeed | 06:36 |
| regeya | I'd like to hurt a few Apple engineers | 06:36 |
| incubii | heh | 06:36 |
| incubii | dont hurt the ones that make 30" LCDs | 06:37 |
| incubii | i like those ones | 06:37 |
| regeya | transparency, translucency, etc are great. | 06:37 |
| regeya | just not in a GUI. | 06:37 |
| chavo | LeeJunFan, I used gnome for a long, long time. But man they just keep mucking it up. | 06:37 |

| === randabis_ is now known as randabis | ||
| randabis | Roey, np | 06:38 |
| regeya | you know, on the one hand, there are things that GNOME gets right that Apple and Microsoft get wrong. that's impressive. | 06:38 |
| Roey | :) | 06:38 |
| regeya | on the other hand, they tend to do grand sweeping changes in releases, sometimes without warning, sometimes against popular opinion. | 06:39 |
| Roey | regeya: that said, ar eyou using kde now or gnome? | 06:39 |
| incubii | gnome are like goths | 06:39 |
| incubii | they conform to non-conformity | 06:39 |
| incubii | if you start liking it they change it | 06:39 |
| LeeJunFan | incubii: haha | 06:39 |
| regeya | Roey: kde | 06:39 |
| Roey | ah, ok | 06:39 |
| regeya | Roey: though until recently I was giving gnome an extended try | 06:40 |
| === Roey stabs incubii with a HIG | ||
| chavo | Bow down to the almighty HIG! | 06:40 |
| Roey | regeya: why 'until recently'? what happened that you changed your mind? | 06:40 |
| incubii | i dont even know what a hig is | 06:40 |
| randabis | probably the new kde 3.4 :p | 06:40 |
| randabis | it rocks my socks...I never thought I'd start using kde regularly again | 06:40 |
| chavo | HIG == The death of Gnome. | 06:40 |
| regeya | Roey: if I have to resort to the command line more than 45% of the time, it's crap | 06:40 |
| LeeJunFan | To admit - gnome has been a while with me. But last time I tried it was the stupid things that pissed me off about it - I mean how hard is it to line up icons on the taskbar? | 06:41 |
| regeya | Roey: also, GNOME is t3h slow | 06:41 |
| randabis | yeah kde pwns gnome in speed now | 06:41 |
| Roey | I have problems with kde though too | 06:41 |
| Roey | for example, the menus | 06:41 |
| LeeJunFan | I'm going to look at gnome again tomorrow, but I don't expect I'll be staying, who knows. | 06:41 |
| incubii | i struggled to create a shortcut in gnome that actually worked | 06:41 |
| incubii | :D | 06:41 |
| Roey | and the way that they never have what I need | 06:41 |
| regeya | indeed chavo; it was annoying for a while, any time a new under-development app was announced on GNOME news, seeing these "it's not HIG compliant" posts | 06:41 |
| regeya | who cares if it's useful--we gotta fix that HIG compliance FIRST! | 06:42 |
| incubii | lol | 06:42 |
| LeeJunFan | oh, and esd. Does gnome still use that? | 06:43 |
| randabis | what I really hate about gnome 2.10 is the way they totally fucked up the networking tool | 06:43 |
| randabis | you can't even add interfaces with it anymore | 06:43 |
| regeya | Roey: also, when I posted that screenshot to my freebie Web space a few minutes ago, I went straight from the screenshot app to FTP via the Save dialog | 06:43 |
| regeya | ! | 06:44 |
| chavo | regeya, you can't beat that. | 06:44 |
| incubii | excellent | 06:44 |

| Roey | incubii: what are you going to put on da kernel | 06:56 |
| Roey | ? | 06:56 |
| incubii | upgrading to latest kubuntu 2.6 kernel with SMP | 06:57 |
| === Glin|Jol [~bobo@66-108-244-133.nyc.rr.com] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| incubii | as this kernel is only uni processor from the CD | 06:57 |
| incubii | :| | 06:57 |
| incubii | cd doesnt come with smp | 06:57 |
| incubii | probably one of the slight annoyances that could be fixed for duel ppc systems | 06:59 |

| incubii | the KDE side image on kubuntu is wrong | 07:02 |
| incubii | it says 5.4 but should say 5.04 ? | 07:02 |
| === hunger [~hunger@pD9E649C8.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| chavo | incubii, never noticed that because I have the side image turned off, but you are right | 07:03 |
| LeeJunFan | what side image? | 07:04 |
| incubii | on the main kde menu | 07:04 |
| LeeJunFan | mine just says kde3.4 | 07:04 |
| incubii | mine says kubuntu 5.4 | 07:04 |
| difekta | i'm just going to install kde for the hell of it and try it out. | 07:05 |
| difekta | since you fuckers say it's good. | 07:05 |
| LeeJunFan | My ~ dir is years old - I probably have a diff theme or something. | 07:05 |
| difekta | ;) | 07:05 |
| LeeJunFan | I'm not really a fucker, but I did stay at a holidy inn express last night. | 07:05 |
| chavo | LeeJunFan, you can put a custom side image in your ~/.kde somewhere | 07:06 |
| difekta | lol. | 07:06 |
| LeeJunFan | chavo: not that I've done on purpose. Maybe it's part of an overall theme. | 07:06 |
| LeeJunFan | Mine has KDE 3.4 and a blue Gear in my side/menu. | 07:06 |
| incubii | did you install KDE through ubuntu or use the kubuntu iso ? | 07:07 |
| randabis | LeeJunFan, did you install the kubuntu-default-settings package? | 07:07 |
| chavo | hmm I've got the kubuntu side image here. | 07:08 |
| LeeJunFan | yeah, it's on here. | 07:08 |

| LeeJunFan | I installed from CD about a week ago on this drive, been keeping up to date daily. | 07:09 |
| LeeJunFan | I think my amd64 install (which is way older on another partition) has the same. | 07:09 |
| LeeJunFan | BTW - that login screen - is that really kdm or some bastardization? I can't change anything about it. | 07:10 |
| incubii | maybe its really GDM in disguise | 07:10 |
| LeeJunFan | incubii: it looks more like it. | 07:10 |
| chavo | LeeJunFan, it's kdcm | 07:10 |
| chavo | kdm | 07:10 |
| randabis | I don't know about that...I've used a custom gdm theme for a while now | 07:10 |
| chavo | you can theme kdm in 3.4 | 07:11 |
| LeeJunFan | ldd /usr/bin/kdm doesn't show a single qt or kde library that it's linked to. | 07:12 |
| dimmak | yellowonblue theme looks scary | 07:12 |
| incubii | heh | 07:14 |
| incubii | maybe its static ? | 07:15 |
| Roey | *it's | 07:16 |
| dimmak | did icon zooming go away? | 07:16 |
| chavo | dimmak, yes | 07:16 |
| dimmak | oh well | 07:16 |
| incubii | its there falt its nort werkin | 07:17 |
| incubii | :P | 07:17 |
| omni_lonnie | but I liked icon zooming :( | 07:17 |
| LeeJunFan | incubii: I can't change my background or any other option on the login via kcontrol - so I'm wondering if kubuntu didn't pull a Mandrake and write their own dm and call it kdm. | 07:17 |
| incubii | search the forums | 07:18 |
| incubii | ming be info on it there | 07:18 |
| incubii | might* | 07:18 |
| dimmak | LeeJunFan: system administration>>login manager | 07:18 |
| chavo | LeeJunFan, I can change my kdm here. I've changed the theme. And Mandrake rewrote kdm, they call it mdkkdm | 07:18 |
| incubii | upgrading udev fixed my KDE bootup troubles | 07:18 |
| dimmak | make sure you sudo | 07:18 |
| LeeJunFan | chavo: not until I bitched about it on the cooker list. | 07:18 |
| incubii | :D | 07:18 |
| dimmak | or su | 07:18 |
| incubii | now it boots in 9 seconds | 07:19 |
| incubii | :O | 07:19 |
| chavo | LeeJunFan, aha | 07:19 |
| incubii | loads* | 07:19 |
| LeeJunFan | chavo: first they removed the real kdm.: ) | 07:19 |
| chavo | yes | 07:19 |
| LeeJunFan | I wonder why I can't change my login settings, but then I wonder why you and I have a different menu image too :) | 07:20 |
| LeeJunFan | btw - I created a new user and it has the same image in the menu. So it's not a remnant somehow left from a 3 year old .kde dir. | 07:20 |
| dimmak | LeeJunFan: sudo kcontrol | 07:20 |
| incubii | hmm now it recognises the ipod as a removeable device but i still cant access it without fstab entry | 07:20 |
| LeeJunFan | dimmak: I did that. I'll try again. | 07:21 |
| dimmak | oh ok | 07:21 |
| dimmak | i just use the control center through the menu | 07:21 |
| dimmak | then it actually has a button for administration mode | 07:21 |

| billytwowilly | nice. kaffeine 0.6 | 07:25 |
| LeeJunFan | no deal - It changed the passwd echo to 3 star, and the graphic type to keramic (had to make changes everywhere to see what might actually work), but still kubuntu background. | 07:25 |
| billytwowilly | smooth people. smooth. | 07:25 |
| dimmak | LeeJunFan: the login manager or the splash screen? | 07:26 |
| LeeJunFan | login | 07:27 |
| dimmak | LeeJunFan: the splash screen is under appearance and themes | 07:27 |
| dimmak | in case it might be that | 07:27 |
| LeeJunFan | I get kubuntu background - then the one I chose for login, then my desktop background. | 07:27 |
| LeeJunFan | It loads my chosen background between the login background and the desktop. | 07:28 |
| === HillTop [~chatzilla@cpe-204-210-35-9.san.res.rr.com] has joined #kubuntu | ||

| billytwowilly | LeeJunFan: what are you trying to do? | 07:31 |
| LeeJunFan | change my login background. | 07:31 |
| billytwowilly | change it in backgrounrc if you don't want to see the default background for a moment while kde loads your chosen background. | 07:32 |
| LeeJunFan | backgroundrc has what I want to show - but that isn't what's showing on the login screen. It only shows for a second while kdm quits and hands over to kwin. | 07:33 |
| billytwowilly | yah, then you have to set it where dimmak said you should. | 07:34 |
| LeeJunFan | I did. | 07:34 |
| LeeJunFan | Nothing changes the actual BG that's shown while I type in my passwd. | 07:35 |
| LeeJunFan | I think the kubuntu theme is overriding anything I change. | 07:37 |
| dimmak | i haven't played around with it enough then | 07:37 |
| LeeJunFan | /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/kubuntu | 07:38 |
| dimmak | found it? | 07:38 |
| chavo | LeeJunFan, it's the theme | 07:38 |
| LeeJunFan | no matter what BG I choose it's the one in there that's shown - with all the buttons. | 07:38 |
| incubii | for my ipod problem i just put it in fstab and auto mount | 07:39 |
| chavo | look in /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc for UseTheme | 07:39 |
| incubii | to /mnt/sda2 then softlink it to /mnt/ipod and /media/ipod | 07:39 |
| incubii | :) | 07:39 |
| incubii | works nice ly | 07:39 |
| LeeJunFan | yeah, I saw the theme in there. But what buttons will be there if I remove the theme? :) | 07:39 |
| chavo | it will be a small dialog window | 07:39 |
| LeeJunFan | chavo: that's what I want. :) thanks. No way to change that via GUI? | 07:40 |
| chavo | that will use the theme you choose in control center | 07:40 |
| chavo | LeeJunFan, not yet | 07:40 |
| chavo | there's an app on kde-apps.org but it's still in development | 07:40 |

| difekta | i just installed kde | 07:44 |
| difekta | so many apps! | 07:44 |
| difekta | but i'm still in gnome running them... | 07:44 |
| difekta | lemme hop over to another xserver. | 07:44 |
| incubii | alot nicer then 6 months ago hey ? | 07:44 |
| membreya | kde...robust? :| lol | 07:44 |
| difekta | it has about 5 times the apps on gnome. | 07:45 |
| LeeJunFan | kde is harvested from only the finest GUI beans :) | 07:45 |
| membreya | lots of apps yes..but it crashes at least once a day on my computer :P | 07:45 |
| membreya | especially bad when artsd dies | 07:45 |
| incubii | yeah artsd i dont like | 07:45 |
| LeeJunFan | membreya: wth are you doing? | 07:46 |
| incubii | it still has its problems but its a lot better then it use to be | 07:46 |
| LeeJunFan | incubii: arts is the lesser of the evils though. esd is worse. | 07:46 |
| membreya | that's why alsa rocks :P | 07:46 |
| incubii | true that | 07:46 |
| membreya | and artsd typically crashes when I'm using kaffeine | 07:46 |
| LeeJunFan | alsa isn't a server - or are you talking about some other alsa. | 07:47 |
| difekta | I like how freedesktop standards make kde and gnome basically interoperable. | 07:47 |
| difekta | i can see kde apps and gnome apps all in my applications list. | 07:47 |
| incubii | kaffeine works better with my ipod then amarok does | 07:48 |
| difekta | holy cow..they also can put things in the same notification applet. | 07:49 |
| dimmak | i like amarok a lot | 07:49 |
| incubii | amarok plays static | 07:49 |
| incubii | unless you know why | 07:49 |
| membreya | amarok doesn't even play my mp3s :| | 07:49 |
| incubii | plus it says theres no sound engine | 07:49 |
| dimmak | no idea... didn't ever use it until kubuntu | 07:49 |
| incubii | well everything else plays fine | 07:49 |
| incubii | i dont mint though | 07:50 |
| incubii | im happy | 07:50 |
| incubii | :D | 07:50 |
| dimmak | i like the statistics database you can register for | 07:50 |
| membreya | lol and I can quite happily crash my kaffeine :P | 07:50 |
| incubii | though the mac pc speaker is not the best for playing sounds | 07:50 |
| dimmak | i was letting it recommend music from my library based on what i was currently listening to | 07:50 |
| incubii | but it will do | 07:50 |
| membreya | I just have to tell it to add my 978 music videos to its play list | 07:50 |
| membreya | locks the PC up lol | 07:51 |
| dimmak | and seeing how deep it would go into my music | 07:51 |
| incubii | how well does it work ? | 07:51 |
| membreya | damnit..out of smokes >:\ | 07:51 |
| dimmak | i was impressed with it... and the best part i find is that it uploads my listening habits to share with other people using the feature | 07:52 |
| dimmak | so it will recommend artists to others based on my listening | 07:52 |
| incubii | ah | 07:52 |
| incubii | interesting feature | 07:52 |
| membreya | any idea why I get no sound out of amarok ? | 07:53 |
| dimmak | a type of information harvester that i totally support | 07:53 |
| incubii | dunno membreya thats the problem i have | 07:53 |
| dimmak | lemme see if it works on my laptop | 07:53 |
| incubii | says theres no sound engine so just plays static | 07:53 |
| incubii | everything but amarok plays sound | 07:53 |
| membreya | I don't even get that error message..says that it's playing ..but I don't hear anything | 07:53 |
| incubii | so i know its amarok | 07:53 |
| chavo | incubii, you need to install some output plugins for amarok | 07:54 |
| incubii | man all i need is to whack in a wireless apple nic and this box is set | 07:54 |
| membreya | aah just looked at engine, and there's nothing in there | 07:54 |
| incubii | really? | 07:54 |
| incubii | suggestions? | 07:54 |
| membreya | a media player..with no default output..that's some clever planning :P | 07:55 |
| incubii | amarok-engines ? | 07:55 |
| incubii | maybe they arent allowed to include them or just plain forgot | 07:56 |
| incubii | i choose arent allowed to as it causes conflict and much heated debate | 07:56 |
| incubii | :D | 07:56 |
| chavo | yes and amarok-gstreamer amarok-xine | 07:57 |
| incubii | ok ill do that after the kernel finishes coming down | 07:57 |
| incubii | see if that fixes it | 07:57 |
| incubii | if kaffeine support ipod playlists id be set | 07:57 |
| dimmak | amarok works fine on my puter | 07:57 |
| dimmak | lappy as well | 07:58 |
| incubii | man if linux could support ipods 100% with something as flashy as itunes i could move all of the office over to linux | 07:59 |

| membreya | but ...OSx :'( | 08:00 |
| incubii | im not a big fan of it | 08:00 |
| incubii | i like it | 08:00 |
| incubii | but i prefer kubuntu | 08:00 |

| === incubii loves working for a company that requires bleeding edge | ||
| membreya | mmm untested software in a work environment :P | 08:01 |
| chavo | it's a style and window decoration that is OS X like | 08:02 |
| incubii | untested software, thats what warrantis and SLAs are for | 08:02 |
| incubii | hehe | 08:02 |
| incubii | blame them! | 08:02 |
| incubii | yeah baghira looks nice | 08:02 |
| chavo | I'm not a big fan of OS X styles though. | 08:03 |
| incubii | i like plastik/lipstick | 08:03 |
| dimmak | can you run adium in kubuntu? | 08:03 |
| membreya | chavo: it won't have the pretty minimising action though :( | 08:03 |
| incubii | much nicer on the eye then keramik | 08:03 |
| incubii | what is adium ? | 08:03 |
| dimmak | messenger... adium.sourceforge.net | 08:03 |
| chavo | membreya, that stuff will be coming soon. Can't stand it myself. | 08:03 |
| incubii | id assume so dimmak | 08:04 |
| chavo | If I minimize a window I want the thing gone. | 08:04 |
| membreya | again chavo ...it's pretty :P | 08:04 |
| membreya | but osx minimises it in styyyyyle | 08:04 |
| dimmak | well can you run any powerpc application in linux? | 08:04 |
| chavo | not my style. | 08:04 |
| dimmak | expose is a great app | 08:04 |
| incubii | define powerpc application | 08:04 |
| incubii | do you mean OS X apps in linux ? | 08:05 |
| dimmak | all my computers are x86... but i have been playing around with pearpc a lot | 08:05 |
| chavo | membreya, http://2sdw.com/images/3-13.png that is the baghira window decoration. | 08:05 |
| dimmak | power pc vs x86 architecture | 08:05 |
| incubii | i run linux on PowerPC | 08:05 |
| incubii | if i need an OS X app i just fire up MOL | 08:05 |
| incubii | mac-on-linux :) | 08:05 |
| dimmak | i see | 08:05 |
| incubii | runs OS X inside linux at native speed almost | 08:05 |
| membreya | chavo: ...could it be ...true alpha blending | 08:05 |
| incubii | never tried pearpc | 08:06 |
| incubii | is it any good ? | 08:06 |
| chavo | membreya, yes it's been available since xorg 6.8 | 08:06 |
| chavo | still a little buggy though | 08:06 |
| dimmak | not close to how you described mol... but pearpc is for x86 machines emulating power pc environments... it does on the fly translation of the power pc instructions to x86 instructions | 08:07 |
| dimmak | so you don't nearly the speed as a virtual machine that is not translating into different architectures | 08:07 |
| incubii | it runs OS X though doesnt it ? | 08:07 |
| dimmak | yes | 08:07 |
| incubii | i think QEMU can run OS X too now | 08:08 |
| incubii | or they are getting there | 08:08 |
| dimmak | at a much reduced speed from the native x86 processor... they estimate it at 1/15 the native processor speed | 08:08 |
| dimmak | mac-on-linux is a ppc application... that is why it works great at what it does | 08:08 |
| dimmak | similar to vmware for x86 machines | 08:08 |
| incubii | ah | 08:08 |
| dimmak | pearpc is bridging the gap between running mac-osx on an x86 machine | 08:09 |
| incubii | thats right, CherryOS was a complete rip off of it | 08:09 |
| dimmak | which is a lot harder than the opposite | 08:09 |
| dimmak | yeah | 08:09 |
| incubii | i need to install Synergy on these boxes | 08:10 |
| incubii | get tired of using two keyboards and mice | 08:10 |
| incubii | hehe my canary is chirping along to my dance music | 08:11 |
| membreya | grrr amarok isn't even starting for me now ...ok I've gone into .kde/share/config and rm'd amarokrc ...where else is it hiding its config? | 08:11 |
| incubii | wish i knew so i could tell you | 08:12 |
| dimmak | do i need to add my current user account to the drives group so that i can play dvds? | 08:13 |
| incubii | i dunno, if you find out let me know! | 08:14 |
| incubii | it pisses me off, i can burn but i cant play | 08:14 |
| dimmak | alright... i'll try it out... let me do all my upgrading... so i don't destroy my account while adding it to another group... happened on my desktop account | 08:15 |
| dimmak | nice having two installations to play with | 08:15 |
| dimmak | my internet is still borked on the desktop... and i blame autopackage | 08:15 |
| incubii | have you tried redoing what failed ? | 08:16 |
| dimmak | yeppers... no luck | 08:17 |
| dimmak | it was a firefox autopackage | 08:18 |
| dimmak | beware... one of the developers could replicate the problem within firefox itself... my problem was system wide | 08:18 |
| dimmak | and i haven't repaired the damage | 08:18 |
| dimmak | so autopackage and kubuntu aren't playing well yet | 08:18 |
| incubii | ah | 08:19 |
| incubii | ill stick to apt-get/synaptic | 08:19 |
| incubii | :) | 08:19 |

Now I changed back to hoary, distupgraded.. trying to install kubuntu-desktop, but I am getting the error:kubuntu-desktop: Depends: python-newt but it is not going to be installed | 09:00 |

| coruja | hmm, i updated kde-i18n-de again, this time the right size i suppose, but i'm not allowed/able to change language settings in kcontrol... | 11:59 |
| coruja | though i can choose german as language, but nothing happens, it won't even appear in the 'languages box' | 12:00 |
| coruja | any idea? ;) | 12:00 |
| buz | noticed that myself just now | 12:00 |
| buz | did you try to log out of kde? | 12:01 |
| coruja | i restarted x several times... | 12:01 |
| buz | that's weird then | 12:01 |
| buz | personally, i don't care for german much but others here sure do | 12:02 |
| buz | it's especially strange as ubuntu is big on i18n | 12:02 |
| coruja | i've changed the locale settings in the kdeglobals file by hand (to de_DE), but again, nothing happens | 12:02 |
| coruja | let's wait and see if any other has rather the same problems, maybe even with ather languages... | 12:03 |
| buz | mhhh is there any place i can get kde-bluetooth from? | 12:04 |
| coruja | kde-apps.org, or maybe hints where to find there? | 12:04 |
| buz | did try rpmseek, it finds some debs but all links are broken | 12:05 |
| coruja | hmm | 12:05 |
| buz | and the link on kde-apps.org is pretty much down, sf only has the source | 12:06 |
| buz | ah it's supposedly in kdeextragear | 12:06 |
| incubii | hmm why cant i play DVDs | 12:07 |
| buz | dvd playing on linux isn't entirely legal | 12:08 |
| buz | so it's not installed by default | 12:08 |
| buz | what you can do: add universe and install videolan | 12:08 |
| incubii | vlc? | 12:08 |
| buz | yeah | 12:08 |
| incubii | yeah did that | 12:08 |
| incubii | still no go | 12:08 |
| buz | that's weird | 12:08 |
| buz | works for me | 12:08 |
| incubii | must be the PPC thing | 12:10 |
| incubii | looks like i have to compile libdvdcss | 12:10 |
| buz | u using ppc? | 12:10 |
| incubii | yea | 12:10 |
| buz | mhh on x86 it works | 12:10 |
| buz | but i can't remember if i had to install libdvdcss myself, actually | 12:10 |
| incubii | once you go duel ppc its hard to go back to uni x86 | 12:11 |
| buz | it was in the rep that i know | 12:11 |
| incubii | lol | 12:11 |
| buz | didn't need to compile anything | 12:11 |

| incubii | work related gift | 12:11 |
| incubii | :) | 12:11 |
| buz | if i did, i'd probably run osx on it anyway | 12:11 |
| incubii | i have to admin the things so its best taht i have one at home | 12:11 |
| incubii | infact if i bought one | 12:12 |
| buz | i never quite understood why anyone would get an overpriced mac just to run linux on it ;-) | 12:12 |
| incubii | i could do a tax write off | 12:12 |
| incubii | as its required | 12:12 |
| incubii | :D | 12:12 |
| incubii | oh linux runs so fast | 12:12 |
| buz | don't speak of taxes, i should do my declaration today ;-) | 12:12 |
| buz | paying is bad, filling out the paperwork much worse | 12:13 |
| incubii | just theres teething problems on PPC that arent in x86 | 12:13 |
| incubii | i woulda thought it would be easier to support less ahrdware | 12:13 |
| buz | probably best to use gentoo or some such on ppc | 12:13 |
| incubii | nah gentoo was much much worse then this | 12:13 |
| incubii | this works liek a charm | 12:13 |
| incubii | i just want to watch DVDs | 12:13 |
| buz | i want to use bluetooth, but no kde bluetooth in sight anywhere | 12:15 |
| incubii | ah well guess ill use windows box next to me till then | 12:15 |
| buz | i finally got rid of that plague | 12:15 |
| buz | you could always use osx you know ;-) | 12:15 |
| coruja | hehe | 12:16 |
| incubii | nah dont like OS X | 12:17 |
| incubii | it doesnt like me doing things | 12:17 |

| buz | i'm still debating myself if i should switch to a finance major, actually | 12:25 |
| incubii | and they are thinking of going for 4x30" | 12:25 |
| buz | i'd prefer 4*20 inch over 2*30" | 12:25 |
| incubii | i thought of that too since i work in finance | 12:25 |
| buz | IT majors suck badly at my university | 12:26 |
| incubii | well 4*20" is alright if you have good LCDs with small monitor edges | 12:26 |

| haggai | buz: that was to be added to your sources.list. But do3cc_ just told me the packages are on the mirrors anyway | 01:22 |
| buz | ooh | 01:22 |
| buz | i overlooked the deb in front of the url | 01:22 |
| marcusT | haggai: define on the mirrors anyway... because the i18n I installed this morning still doesn't work | 01:22 |
| haggai | marcusT: 'dpkg -l kde-i18n-\*' should show 3.4.0-0ubuntu2, not ubuntu1 | 01:23 |
| haggai | ubuntu1 was broken | 01:23 |
| marcusT | it does, but it's still broken for me | 01:23 |
| haggai | wierd, I wonder why I didn't see this | 01:24 |
| haggai | I'll see if I can get the packages from the mirrors instead of my locally built version | 01:24 |
| marcusT | because I use i18n-de, yesterday, I couldn't select any other language, now I can add geman, but it won't get added to the language list and does not have any effect | 01:25 |

| haggai | gsuveg: install this one-> http://kubuntu.org/~halls/pkgs/kde-i18n/kde-i18n-hu_3.4.0-0ubuntu2_all.deb | 04:48 |
| haggai | gdh: what exactly do you want to know about the konnectors? | 04:48 |
| gdh | haggai: Specifically, getting the 'PocketPC Konnector' at http://synce.sourceforge.net/synce/kde/konnector/index.php built for universe? | 04:48 |
| gdh | It's near impossible to build this code standalone | 04:48 |
| gdh | because it needs all the X, Qt, KDE Kitchensync devel files | 04:49 |
| gdh | most of which don't exist as packages. | 04:49 |
| gdh | and I don't fancy recompiling 90% of my system.. if I wanted to do that, I'd use Gentoo ;) | 04:49 |
| gdh | It's just that without this Konnector, all of the SynCE / Raki / RAPIP/ Kitchensync framework is nearly useless. | 04:49 |
| gsuveg | haggai: installed | 04:50 |
| gdh | It seems a crying shame to waste all that work and to fall at the last hurdle | 04:50 |
| gsuveg | my mails in Maildir | 04:50 |
| gsuveg | maildur/maillist/.... | 04:50 |
| gsuveg | maildir/personal/ | 04:50 |
| gsuveg | etc. | 04:50 |
| gsuveg | haggai: thats can use with kmail without import ? | 04:50 |
| haggai | gsuveg: I wasn't talking to you about kmail | 04:51 |
| haggai | gsuveg: I don't understand your question either | 04:51 |
| gsuveg | haggai: sorry | 04:51 |
| gsuveg | haggai: it works. thanks | 04:51 |
| haggai | gdh: why do you need to recompile 90% of the system? From the lbs you listed I think you'll only be missing kitchensync devel stuff | 04:52 |
| gsuveg | hunger: have you understud my problem? | 04:53 |
| gdh | haggai: Certainly the ./configure script for pocketpccommunication.tar.gz wants at least the X devel, Qt devel, KDE devel.. and I'm worried about things like mismatched symbols. | 04:53 |
| gdh | esp. as there's no -dev package for kitchensync | 04:54 |
| gdh | there have been a couple of other lost souls on here looking for a package of this Konnector, so I thought I'd bring the matter up here in the hopes it could be done 'properly' =) | 04:54 |
| gsuveg | haggai: now im use mutt+maildir | 04:55 |
| gsuveg | i would like use kmail, but me dont clear how can i handle maildirs with kmail | 04:56 |
| gdh | gsuveg: At worst, install an IMAP server and connect IMAP to localhost? | 04:56 |
| gsuveg | on my laptop? doh | 04:56 |
| hunger | gsuveg: kmail expects all its mails to be in ~/Mail (IIRC they changed that to some hidden folder by default nowadays). | 04:57 |
| membreya | hunger: /var/mail | 04:57 |
| hunger | gsuveg: You should be able to set a symlink from there to wherever your mails are actually stored. | 04:57 |
| hunger | membreya: Nope:-) Somewhere under ~/.kde. | 04:58 |
| hunger | membreya: /var/mail is for incomming mails, not for storage. | 04:58 |
| membreya | ooooooooooooh :D | 04:58 |
| gdh | I guess having 'Mail' in a homedir is just asking for the clueless to delete it by accident =) | 04:59 |
| hunger | gsuveg: kmail keeps adding some hidden files to that dir... You might want to clean those up if you ever move away from kmail. | 04:59 |
| hunger | gdh: Well, I keep getting upset about having some app deceiding which non-hidden dirs I want to have. | 05:00 |
| gdh | :) Policy decisions, gotta luv 'em... | 05:00 |
| gsuveg | hunger: msg possible? | 05:00 |
| hunger | gsuveg: ? | 05:00 |
| gsuveg | hunger: can i send msg ? | 05:01 |
| hunger | gsuveg: Dunno... try it. | 05:01 |
| gsuveg | hunger: ah. like the imap server ? | 05:05 |

| === omni_lonnie [~lonnie@leepcF-253.sub-f.lee.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||

| randabis | does anyone know what package handles the cookie handling service for konqueror? | 06:04 |
| randabis | I think I removed it by mistake | 06:04 |
| Blissex | randabis: thats extremely unlike -- I guess it would be in 'kdebase'. | 06:04 |
| randabis | Blissex, well, I'm not sure...all I know is that the service will not start | 06:05 |
| Blissex | randabis: what is the name of the service that won't start? | 06:05 |
| randabis | when I go into the cookie section of control center, it says "unable to start the cookie handler service" | 06:07 |
| randabis | so konqueror is not handling cookies at all | 06:07 |
| gsuveg | why show prety small fonts in other apps (as kde) ? for example gaim ? | 06:09 |
| Blissex | randabis: odds are you will find moe details in #KDE about these things... | 06:09 |
| Blissex | gsuveg: what does that mean? | 06:09 |
| randabis | I'll go ask someone there | 06:10 |
| gsuveg | Blissex: for ex. the gaim show 5px font | 06:10 |
| gsuveg | Blissex: but in gnome-session it show 11 monotype | 06:11 |
| Blissex | gsuveg: is that what you want or not? | 06:11 |
| gsuveg | not | 06:11 |
| Blissex | gsuveg: well, it all depends as usuall... | 06:11 |
| gsuveg | Blissex: me sound like, all not kde apps fonts show smaller | 06:11 |
| Blissex | gsuveg: however KDE font selections do not extend to GTK/GNOME apps, but there are _two_ possible fixes. | 06:12 |
| gsuveg | the firefox menu to small | 06:12 |
| gsuveg | Blissex: whats thats ? | 06:12 |
| Blissex | gsuveg: the two possible fixes are: use a GTK/GTK2 theme (in '~/.gtkrc' or '~/.gtkrc-2.0') that selects the fonts you want... | 06:13 |
| Blissex | gsuveg: or use a delightful KDE extension that is a GTK/GTK2 theme that reads its settings from KDE, not from one of those files. | 06:13 |
| haggai | gdh: heh | 06:13 |
| gsuveg | Blissex: the 2nd sound better. whats that ? | 06:14 |
| gdh | haggai: Am almost there - it compiles fine - just trying to get multisynk to 'see' it now :) | 06:14 |
| Blissex | gsuveg: I have it in my Control Panel under 'Appearance & Themes:GTK Styles and Fonts' | 06:15 |

| gsuveg | hapo: i have 512 | 06:38 |
| hapo | is 128 megabytes of RAM bearable? | 06:38 |
| hapo | :/ | 06:38 |
| gsuveg | hapo: imho use smaller wm with 128MB | 06:38 |
| Blissex | hapo: it is if you configure it very carefully. | 06:39 |
| hapo | i just heard that kubuntu could suit better to low-memory systems than ubuntu | 06:39 |
| Blissex | hapo: the great advantage of KDE is that all KDE apps share the same libs. | 06:39 |
| hapo | because kde consumes less ram | 06:39 |
| hapo | than gnome 2 | 06:39 |
| Blissex | hapo: this advantage works well if you use _only_ KDE apps. | 06:39 |
| hapo | ok | 06:39 |
| hapo | the distro would go to my laptop | 06:39 |

| hapo | on my main desktop i have 512 MB :) | 06:40 |
| gdh | SODIMMs are very cheap - get more RAM if you can :) | 06:40 |
| hunger | hapo: It does run... but it is really slow. | 06:40 |
| hapo | ok | 06:40 |
| hapo | thanks for the information, anyway | 06:40 |

| hunger | hapo: but the girl does not know better and she is really happy with it. | 06:40 |
| hapo | hehe | 06:41 |
| Blissex | hapo: also, it is very important not to use AA fonts, and use only X11 bitmap fonts if possible. | 06:41 |
| Blissex | hapo: and to use only the builtin themes of QT and KDE, not anything fancy, and to avoid any sort of cool graphics stuff, including background images. | 06:42 |
| Blissex | hapo: also, to save on memory, I dont starte KDE using 'startkde', which starts a number of cool things like KDesktop, but just with 'kdeinit kwin; kdeinit kicker'. | 06:43 |
| gdh | don't forget on many systems you'll have cups, postfix, inetd running... none of which may be necessary... | 06:44 |
| hunger | hapo: you hear blissex? Use kde, but make it as boring and bad looking as possible;-) | 06:44 |
| gdh | cups -> lighter lpd... postfix -> ssmtp dumb sendmail wrapper | 06:44 |

| hapo | well, maybe i should try this out | 06:47 |
| hapo | at least kde should run much better than gnome 2 :) | 06:47 |
| SuperCatFrog | hi - before i install kubuntu on my cusins computer, i want to know a few things first. does kubuntu have a package repository yet, if so, how large is it. and does it come with ndiswrapper on the x86 install cd? | 06:47 |
| hunger | hapo: grab the livecd and test that... | 06:47 |
| hapo | i'm a gnome enthusiast myself but well, sometimes you have to be more pragmatic ;) | 06:48 |
| Blissex | SuperCatFrog: Ubuntu has a gigantic package repository, and it can also use just about all Debian packages... | 06:48 |
| gdh | SuperCatFrog: Yes, there are three repositories, totalling Packages files of just over 3M | 06:48 |
| gdh | No idea about ndiswrapper. | 06:48 |
| hunger | Is ndiswrapper even legal? | 06:49 |
| gdh | Probably as legal as Wine is... | 06:49 |
| SuperCatFrog | hunger - in the uk it probably is | 06:49 |
| Blissex | hunger: sort of... Nobody has complained so far. | 06:49 |
| hunger | ndiswrapper is GPL, isen't it? | 06:49 |
| gdh | it's up to whatever license you get the Windows NDIS drivers under. | 06:50 |
| SuperCatFrog | also, is there any difference between ubuntu (after apt-get install kde) and kubuntu? im not sure if i'd rather use ubuntu with kde | 06:50 |
| hunger | So why may you use it to load non-free drivers? | 06:50 |
| Blissex | SuperCatFrog: however 'ndiswrapper' is a bad bad idea. It is easier/cheaper to just get a supported WiFi device. | 06:50 |
| randabis | SuperCatFrog, you'd want apt-get install kubuntu-desktop; not apt-get install kde | 06:50 |
| gdh | hunger: Why isn't Ark non-free because you *might* use it to open .RARs of warez? | 06:50 |
| Blissex | hunger: remember the non-GPL driver exception for the Linux kernel itself... | 06:51 |
| SuperCatFrog | blissex - i cant do that, im installing it on my cusins computer, im not paying for a new wireless card for him, and he wont want to buy one | 06:51 |
| randabis | apt-get install kde would be overkill | 06:51 |
| SuperCatFrog | randabis - why? | 06:51 |
| Blissex | SuperCatFrog: Possibly, possibly also try Kanotix or Knoppix if KUbuntu does not do that. | 06:52 |
| hunger | gdh: With ndiswrapper you are loading non-free code into the the address space of GPL code... that is not allowed in the GPL. Opening non-free data is different. | 06:52 |
| randabis | it would install EVERY kde package iirc..including kdetoys, kdeaddons, etc, etc | 06:52 |
| randabis | you'd have a mass of bloat | 06:52 |
| gdh | hunger: OK, I have no idea how it works internally :) | 06:52 |
| hunger | Blissex: Is ther such a exception in ndiswrapper? | 06:52 |
| SuperCatFrog | randabis - thats fine by me | 06:52 |
| randabis | but not for people wishing to save on disk space, and not for people who do not wish to have packages they'd never use | 06:53 |
| randabis | kubuntu aims to balance things out, as ubuntu does with the gnome desktop | 06:53 |
| === hunger thinks the ndiswrapper guys made it illegal to use their code for its intended purpose by not reading the license conditions of their own code. | ||
| gdh | Nice catch 22 :) | 06:53 |
| hunger | Stupid that... | 06:53 |
| gdh | reboot time =) | 06:54 |
| randabis | SuperCatFrog, ndiswrapper should work fine if the card is supported by it...you'd just need to get the ndiswrapper-utils package, and a copy of the windows drivers | 06:54 |
| randabis | I have ndiswrapper working on my laptop for instance...well, it works, but I cannot get connected to my network now for some reason ever since we switched to WEP. | 06:56 |

| cmf | hi, running kubuntu here, one problem i've noticed is concerning mounted samba shares, after a while of it being mounted it seems to stall, at first it was just bringing konqy down (or amarok), now it brings teh entire system down, this seemed to happen in 2.6.10, so i upgraded to 2.6.11 and still teh same behaviour, anyone know of something similair, i had some output from dmesg, but not wanting to bring my system down atm, i'll see if teh lo | 08:08 |
| _TeRmInEt_ | great, it work! | 08:08 |
| _TeRmInEt_ | gdh much tnx! | 08:09 |

| gsuveg | how can i choose beetwen gdm and kdm ? | 08:12 |

| gdh | or just fiddle the symlinks manually in /etc/alternatives for 'x-display-manager' | 08:13 |
| gdh | sorry, x-session-manager | 08:13 |
| gdh | I think :) | 08:14 |
| gsuveg | gdh: lemme see | 08:14 |
| gsuveg | a debconf or other dont works? | 08:14 |
| gdh | or... | 08:14 |
| gdh | just uninstall the one that you don't want | 08:14 |
| gsuveg | i dont whant | 08:14 |
| gsuveg | gdh: alternative ok | 08:15 |
| gsuveg | not | 08:16 |
| gsuveg | x-session-manager = gnome-session dont gdm | 08:16 |
| gsuveg | i whant start kdm dont gdm | 08:17 |

| anna | Hey, today kde-i18n has received an update, but it doesn't work, right? | 10:41 |
| anna | Now in kcontrol I can see the other language(s), but I cannot get them activated | 10:42 |
| buz | anna: get the required packages from kubuntu.org/~halls/pkgs/kde-i18n/ | 10:42 |
| buz | those work | 10:42 |
| anna | I wonder if Kubuntu is less than Debian unstable looking at the last days :p | 10:44 |
| buz | well its only a preview after all | 10:44 |
| coruja | remember that kubuntu ist still in 'prerelease' status :) | 10:45 |
| coruja | *g* | 10:45 |
| gsuveg | how can i put trash to dekstop? | 10:45 |
| anna | well, yes I do, but Debian unstable never gets released and didn't do those things to me | 10:45 |
| anna | 1. Kill my i18n, even after an update | 10:45 |
| anna | 2. Kill my kicker config in an update | 10:45 |
| gsuveg | anna: im today installed the kde, and im happy with it | 10:45 |
| coruja | anna: huh? | 10:46 |
| anna | I am used to update daily and not find anything broken. | 10:46 |
| Bizzeh | whats a good gui irc app for linux and where would it be in apt? | 10:46 |
| gdh | Bizzeh: Konversation is good | 10:46 |
| anna | Not of the obvious kind at least. | 10:46 |
| gdh | Bizzeh: You also have the choice of using Kopete's IRC module. | 10:47 |
| gdh | and I dunno if KSIRC is in Ubuntu | 10:47 |
| anna | 3. I still cannot install kdeaddons on amd64, why? | 10:47 |
| coruja | anna: the trouble with the locale settings, i agree, but beyond this, i had no more trouble according to the kde-i18n... | 10:47 |
| buz | gdh: it is | 10:47 |
| buz | but i'd suggest konversation | 10:47 |
| anna | buz: There is no kde-i18n-de on that URL? | 10:48 |
| ataxic | a qt/kde frontend for irssi would be nice | 10:48 |
| anna | buz: Ignore me :p | 10:48 |
