ExInFiNitecan i boot install kubuntu?01:14
lonewolffboot install?01:15
ExInFiNitei'm running win32 now01:15
lonewolffdo you mean install it to the hard drive?01:15
ExInFiNitei mean burn to cd01:15
ExInFiNitethen boot install from cd01:15
lonewolffyou can install from cd to the hard drive, or you can download the live cd and boot from that (no hard changes necessary)01:16
ExInFiNitewill it work01:16
lonewolffif you want to try kubuntu the live cd would be a good trial, then if you like it it can be installed alongside windows, or to replace windows01:16
ExInFiNitethis is my first time using linux01:16
lonewolffyou can use the live cd to see what works, and what its like01:16
ExInFiNitei'm gonna dual boot01:16
lonewolffok, download the iso file and buring it to cd using nero or similar and reboot with the cd in the drive01:17

nydustwhat is the easy's way to install an printer on a windows nettwork? can i install some 3part apps to emulate the unix shareing system?01:22
ExInFiNiteP4 3.8ghz01:22
ExInFiNite2gb ram01:23
lonewolffnydust: you can samba share a printer, or print to a windows shared printer01:23
ExInFiNite120+120+120+36gb HDD01:23
lonewolffdepending on whether you connect the printer to a linux box or a windows box01:23
nydustlonewolff, i cant get my unix box to connect to the printer, i do find it but i get client error all the time 01:24
lonewolffthat is strange, are you using cups?01:24
nydustlonewolff, the printer are shared on a window network. Windows 2000 pro and shared. 01:24
nydustlonewolff, yeah cups01:25
lonewolffit should be as simple as going into cups and adding a samba printer. choosing the corect printer model and then printing01:25
lonewolffdo you have any firewalls on the windows box?01:25
nydustI know when i am adding the printer to other windows clients i ave to logg inn on the computer and install the printer from the windows nettwork search tool.01:26
nydustlonewolff, no firewall. i have tryed to add a samba printer01:26
lonewolffhmm it should work01:27
lonewolffare there any user controlls on who can print or anything like that?01:27
nydusti know, maybe i have to configure the win box.. but it works with other clients.01:28
lonewolffif its a shared printer it should 'just work' with the smb printer stuff in cups01:28
=== lonewolff is upgrading to the latest RC
nydustlonewolff, i have even turned off the need for user and pass to logg on the computer01:32
nydustlonewolff, i have followed the guide at debian.org. but get som errors. 01:32
nydustseems like some problems with seeing who am trying to connect01:32
nydusti get anno connection but not user01:32
nydustthats way i thinked about a software that emulates the unix printer sharing. 01:32
nydustmaybee somtheing like that works01:32
nydustlonewolff, are ubuntu under heavy updates? cause my update maneger ask me to update all the time.. i am using hoary01:32
lonewolffhoary is a development release so things are being added and changed ready for release01:33
lonewolffhmmm, i dont know anything about username/pass issues  i just let everyone on the network print to the samba printer01:33
nydustlonewolff, i do too, but i think my setup are strange. 01:34
nydustlonewolff, any good howtos for ubuntu?01:34
lonewolffim sure there must be a solution somewhere ...01:34
lonewolffhowto's for samba printers?01:35
lonewolffgimme a second01:35

nydusti will see on it tomorrow.. I am not on that nettwork now. 01:37

=== abc is now known as Roey
Riddelloh gosh, so it has01:57
apokryphoslonger freeze period?01:57
trekewas moved forward to account for the gnome 2.10.1 release or whatever the new version is01:57
apokryphosah01:57
FlonneI'm wondering how that can be frozen in two days...01:58

apokryphosBicchi: I'm quite sure it will. It's still Hoary.01:58
FlonneThe two projects will release together, Bicchi.01:58
Riddellhmm, we could release on 6th and beat them to it :)01:58
trekethttp://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2005-March/006250.html01:58
Bicchiso the only difference between the 2 is just the kde vs gnome. The old time argument.01:58
FlonneWatch as Kubuntu's popularity suddenly spikes on distrowatch...01:59
apokryphosBicchi: well, different default setup -- yes.01:59
FlonneBasically, yeah, Bicchi.01:59
apokryphosFlonne: don't listen to Distrowatch ;-). It means close to nothing.01:59
FlonneBut their core design is the same.01:59
FlonneDistrowatch is always a fun thing to laugh at.01:59
Bicchiby the way, how does one does a kernel upgrade with k/ubuntu? is it easy?02:00
FlonneYes, it's easy.02:00
FlonneJust let apt/Synaptic/Kynaptic download and install the new kernel package then reboot.02:00
Flonne+comma02:00
Bicchiso i do not have to play with config files or symlinks?02:01
FlonneNope.02:02
FlonneIf you really want to, you can (ideally) avoid the command line altogether.02:02
Bicchithats great. i guess i will give it a try once the official release is out. i allready tried the live cd and detects all my hardware.02:03
Bicchithe live cd was slow compare to mandrakemove or knoppix02:03
apokryphosBicchi: Interesting; trying it out yesterday.. I thought the exact opposite02:04
FlonneYes, it is quite slow.02:04
FlonneCompared to Knoppix, anyway.02:04
apokryphosslow at starting up, reasonably, while it opened up though I was really quite surprised by the speed02:04
Flonne(And a few others I know of.)02:04
FlonneWell, yeah.02:04
FlonneIts execution speed was fine, but it clearly wasn't intended for the same purpose as other LiveCDs.02:05
FlonneIt's more like a demo disc.02:05
Bicchii guess02:05
Bicchiplus a bunch of prompts when loading02:05
dominikwill there be a bootsplash or something to make the boot process more appealing for the user?02:05
Bicchiload time took more than 4 minutes on an amd64 350002:06
Bicchionce i install ubuntu, do i need to get the gcc or does it come with the installation?02:07
moominskiwots the command to install tar files02:07
treketar files as a general rule aren't installable02:08
moominskiwy is that?02:08
treketar -xjf or -xzf will usually extract them depending on how they are compressed.02:09
apokryphosHow many people here knew that dear Linus uses KDE? ;-)02:09

Bicchii am now tring to live cd but the screen resolution is 1024x768 when i had selected 1600x1200 which is ok in windows. why?03:27
smouchenot true, LeeJunFan.  In this case it's because of poor documentation, confusing and/or buggy interfaces, etc ad nauseum, all of which I am very "used to", courtesy of windows.  I think that's the problem -- yeah, of course linux is better than windows.  So what?  That's not a very high standard.03:27
smoucheheh heh, venting again.03:28
LeeJunFansmouche: what kind of documentation did you get with windows?03:28
LeeJunFansmouche: and btw - you are running a devel version are you not?03:29
=== papsmear is now known as Gigs37
smouchelousy documentation, LeeJunFan.  So what?  I've already been through windows hell; adding linux hell to it too is seeming a bit masochistic.  I think I should throw in the towel, put my old pentium back together and install BeOs personal edition. No fuss, no muss, best (dead) operating system ever.  Even non geeks like me could get it working.  All that and a ten-second boot.03:30

LeeJunFansmouche: I was once just like you. I thought unix was 60's technology that should have went out with bellbottoms.03:30
apokryphosGuys, I'm thinking of going back to GNOME. Ubuntu features on it are really too much to ignore03:31
apokryphos(really)03:31
smoucheLeeJunFan, development edition or not, it seems to me something as basic as adding a fucking user!  should be trivial with linux.  User admin is where linux is supposed to be most at home!03:31
calcapokryphos: which ubuntu features for it?03:31
apokryphosWas comparing the general usability and accessibility structure of the two distros, and KDE is quite lacking03:31
calcreally the only thing i have noticed has been the menu layout change and the autoupdate applet, i must be missing something03:32
LeeJunFanapokryphos: where?03:32
apokryphoscalc: The ones mentioned there, and other general things that would put users off03:32
calcapokryphos: oh yea kde is teh sux0r03:32
apokryphosThe difference in menu strecture and general feel; there's no overuse of GUI options everywhere03:32
smoucheapokryphos, it's simultaneously astonishing and somehow not surprising to hear you say that!  'cause I know how much you like kubuntu.  But I was thinking the same thing.  03:32
=== Bicchi [~ubuntu@adsl-065-006-167-199.sip.mia.bellsouth.net] has joined #kubuntu
calcLeeJunFan: /me likes a lot of ideas kde has but not their execution03:33
apokryphosSeem that the GNOME structure aims more to the workflow for the given program, while KDE wants to get more options in there03:33
calchmm how did that nickcomplete happen03:33
=== calc kicks himself
LeeJunFanhehe03:33
BicchiI am now tring the kubuntu live cd but the screen resolution is 1024x768 when i had selected 1600x1200 during setup. Can i change it to 1600x1200?03:33
verden01apokryphos, why don't yujust install gnome ubuntu-desktop and have the best of both worlds?03:34
apokryphosverden01: I know it's possible, but I'm more talking about the conversion here. 03:34
LeeJunFanwhen you have dual ubuntu and kubuntu desktops installed how is switching between gdm and kdm handled, update-alternatives ?03:35
calcBicchi: should be able to, you may have to modify the xorg.conf though03:35
apokryphosLeeJunFan: dpkg-reconfigure gdm03:35
smouchewell, I wish I could magically merge the two.  Gnome gave me problems with my Samba network, and my hardware; kde krashes konstantly...03:35
=== apokryphos bad attempt at April Fool's =) =) =)
Bicchicalc: where is that file located?03:35
=== apokryphos actually thinks that KDE is in his blood. :P
calcapokryphos: erm isn't that the real way to do it?03:35
smoucheheh, I think maybe I'm an xfce kind of guy anyway...03:35
LeeJunFanI must be the lucky one or something, I haven' had any issues with kde crashing.03:36
calcBicchi: /etc/X11/xorg.conf03:36
Bicchicalc: do i also need to reboot. remember that this is a live cd. not an installation03:36
apokryphoscalc: to do what, sorry?03:36
calcapokryphos: change which *dm you want to use... dpkg-reconfigure gdm03:36
LeeJunFanapokryphos: haha03:36
apokryphoscalc: Yeah, you can do it like that. There's another way, but I forget.03:36
calcor was the april fools joke something else ;)03:36
apokryphosLeeJunFan: really, I've got a vein here.. looks kinda like a K.03:36
apokryphoscalc: yeah, it was about my non-conversion to GNOME. :P03:37
calcah03:37
=== calc converted to gnome
smouchewell, I'm running hoary on an amd64, so maybe my cpu is spastic or something.  And I could probably use more than 512 megs ram.03:37
LeeJunFanBicchi: right click your desktop -> configure desktop - > display   / and see if you can change it there.03:37
apokryphosI've gotta do it with a few kde-ers that know me better; that'll give them a nice shock. :P03:37
calcwell really i switched back after a long absence03:37
apokryphoscalc: Heretic! Why? :P03:38
LeeJunFansmouche: I ran on amd64 for a while, but ended up going to 386 for need of vmware :(03:38
=== calc used gnome for about 3yr then maintained kde for about 3 years and now run gnome again
apokryphosheh03:38
smoucheamd64 even makes windowsXP perform respectably.  03:38
smoucheeven though its 32 bit03:38
BicchiLeeJunFan: no i can't. i only see the 1024x76803:39
calcwinxp pro x64 was supposed to RTM today03:39
smouche(I am not going to bother with 64 bit windows for a long time.  Talk about asking for bugs...)03:39
apokryphosHere's an even greater April non-fool's: I forgot the days in March. :D03:39
randabislol03:39
apokryphosOh boy; I really should retire to my bed.03:39
LeeJunFanI wish I could understand why openoffice wont' compile on amd64, I mean when the source is right in front of the developers trying to compile it... hrm.03:40
randabisI wish konqueror would play some friggin' flash :p03:40
calcapokryphos: maintaining kde for 3 years makes you very aware of its deficiencies ;)03:40
apokryphoscalc: any examples?03:40
LeeJunFanrandabis: works for me on 386.03:40
calcapokryphos: its developers ;)03:40
apokryphoscalc: hey! The devs are great. :)03:41
calcthey are just a bit crazy03:41
randabisLeeJunFan, it won't work for me, and I have no idea why...I'm pointing it to the plugins correctly, but it will not cooperate03:41
apokryphosSome are, undoubtedly. amaroK ones are personal favourites.03:41
calclike requiring unreleased software for new official kde releases among other things03:41
apokryphosCheck the "About > Authors" in amaroK03:41
smoucheVast improvement in kde anyway with the new version.03:41
calcheh03:41
calcyea i hear they finally got rid of that horrible default theme03:42
apokryphoscalc: like what things?03:42
LeeJunFanrandabis: what if you type "about:plugins" in konq - do you see flash listed?03:42
apokryphoscalc: Yup; it's Plastik, now.03:42
randabisLeeJunFan, just java is listed03:42
smouchePlastik is much better.  Man, kde used to be damned ugly by default03:43
randabisI use baghira :p03:43
LeeJunFanrandabis: well - for some reason it isn't seeing the path or something. you went into konq settings and put the plugin dir where flash is? did you also scan for new plugins?03:43
randabisyes, I did both of those things03:44
calcapokryphos: like gnupg 2.x03:44
smoucheI still hate the bouncing cursors.  Turned those off first thing.  And they need to set anti-aliasing by default.03:44
LeeJunFanrandabis: I would say the dir is maybe typo'ed or missing a file.03:44
calcapokryphos: and a unreleased rdesktop03:44
randabisLeeJunFan, triple checked for mispellings, and the plugins work in mozilla suite03:44
calcthere were other annoying things that i have since forgotten03:44
calclike the inability to run make clean on a kde source dir03:44
calcwell i tried to forget that evil thing ;)03:44
apokryphoscalc: I have no idea about those, but I've never had a problem resolving dependencies for KDE. 03:44
randabisI have it set to scan for plugins at 03:45
randabis~/.mozilla/plugins03:45
randabisand03:45
randabis/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins03:45
apokryphosrandabis: Still that evil issue, eh?03:45
LeeJunFanrandabis: any chance you have old ones laying around in another dir? I did that once. Had incompatible flashes installed - one in ~/.mozilla/plugins another in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins03:46
calcapokryphos: well installing debs is different than making those debs ;)03:46
apokryphoscalc: I was talking about compiling, but yeah. :P03:46
calcoh yea :)03:46
smoucheI'm glad I saved a couple of partitions on here.  Gonna give gnome a try again, what the hell.  Prefer not to mix the two though, too confusing for a noob...03:46
apokryphossmouche: different partition for GNOME? 03:46
calcyou can compile kde with a much more limited set of depends than what you need for a full featured kde03:46
randabisLeeJunFan, they are the same flashes. It's only been installed once03:46
smoucheNew hoary install for multiboot, yes apokryphos ...03:47
LeeJunFanrandabis: once again I find myself without a clue :)03:47
randabisomg03:47
apokryphossmouche: No real point... it's *very* easy to change between G and K; just a simple logout/login.03:47
randabisit found it this time03:47
randabisI think I know why03:47
randabisit didn't like ~03:47
apokryphossmouche: are you running Kubuntu now? No Gnome installation, that is?03:47
calcso really the only negative part was that they released new software people would probably end up wanting that couldn't run without an unreleased dependency to build against03:47
randabisso I changed it to /home/randabis03:47
randabisand now it finds it03:47
smoucheYes to the last question apokryphos 03:47
apokryphosrandabis: =)03:47
LeeJunFanrandabis: I think it has to be $HOME.03:47
=== randabis hugs himself
smoucheI had gnome hoary before, different computer.03:48
apokryphossmouche: just sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop; that will get you all the GNOME stuff03:48
randabiscoolness03:48
randabisthanks again03:48
apokryphossmouche: then, you can just logout, change Session part and login to Gnome.03:48
smoucheok, apokryphos , but what's confusing to me is, which is controlling the display? 03:48
smoucheisn 't one xorg, the other xfree whatever it is... ?03:48
apokryphossmouche: not the same. That's what X you're using. They both use the same one.03:49
apokryphosxorg03:49
apokryphosIf you're talking about display managers -- yeah, they each have one, and you can use either. 03:49
apokryphosDisplay manager is just the Graphical stuff that appears before you login, that's all. 03:50
smouchereally?  I was sure they were using different configs-- xfreeconfig (something like that) for gnome, and xorgconfig(?) for kde...03:50
randabishmm03:50
apokryphossmouche: Nope. :)03:50
randabisno sound...but I think I know why03:50
apokryphosIn hoary, they both use xorg03:50
randabisI don't have arts, and kinda don't want to install it again03:50
randabisI wonder if konqueror can use alsa direct03:50
apokryphosrandabis: It's not completely supported, but kind of possible in theory. You'd have to change your sound manager in kcontrol03:51
smoucheok-- thanks, apokryphos -- anyway, I did that before with xfce, just logged in and out from gnome to xfce, very cool. I'll do that.  03:51
apokryphossmouche: :)03:51
smouchegonna end up with some interestingly bloated menus, though, I bet...03:52
apokryphosrandabis: they're thinking of having it totally sorted for kde 4.003:52
apokryphossmouche: You can, of course, edit them to your liking. ;-)03:52
smoucheheh heh, kate is cute, but gedit is less tempermental!03:52
apokryphosThough personally I never use the menu03:52
apokryphosAlt-F2 sorts it all out :P03:53
randabisapokryphos, what would I change it to?03:53
randabisit's currently set to alsa03:53
smouchewell, apokryphos , I can easily edit the kde ones - though I got the distinct impression that gnome doesn't want no fools messin' with their menus!  ;-)03:53
apokryphosrandabis: is that the command for the alsa sound stuff, though?03:54
apokryphosrandabis: I thought it was alsaplayer03:54
apokryphossmouche: Kind of; there are problems with those versions of gnome, but you can get around them.03:54
randabisin kcontrol, the audio device is set to alsa03:54
apokryphossmouche: there's a good link on the wiki03:54

LeeJunFanlike vi03:56

randabisS & M --> Sound System --> hardware03:57
randabisit says select the audio device03:57
apokryphosi.e. my sound system is completely turned off in kcontrol, but I hear sounds in konqueror; i.e. flash stuff03:57
randabisI have it set to alsa03:57
delltonyanyone here know how to get transcode to install? the repositories or something are jacked cause it has dependency issues and they can't be found03:57
randabisit gives me the option to use esd03:58
apokryphosoh, right.03:58
randabisI might give that a try since I use polypaudio in gnome...03:58
apokryphosrandabis: so the issue is that  you're not getting sound in konqi?03:58

apokryphosExInFiNite: PartitionMagic is the most popular Windoze partition prog04:01
ExInFiNiteso i need to partition it b4 i install?04:01
apokryphosExInFiNite: install Ubuntu? Yes, I think so -- I don't think it has a partitioning tool (I could be wrong).04:01
ExInFiNitewell04:02
apokryphosyou'd have to format as ext3 some time or later04:02
ExInFiNiteto what format?04:02
apokryphosThis is essentially what you should go for:04:02
LeeJunFanExInFiNite: don't format from windows. You just have to leave some unpartitioned space.04:02
apokryphosOne / (root) partition -- where all the programs will go to. One /home partition (all "your" stuff), and one SWAP drive. For swap.04:02
ExInFiNiteu mean delete that partion?04:02
apokryphosYes04:02
ExInFiNitethat will be 3?04:03
apokryphosLeeJunFan: can the install CD format the unpartitioned space/04:03
LeeJunFanExInFiNite: yeah, or at least just get everything out of it you want to save. You can delete/format it during install. There is partitioning tool in ubuntu setup, but it can't shrink partitions.04:03
LeeJunFanapokryphos: yep.04:03
apokryphosLeeJunFan: I mean, to a different type; ext304:03
apokryphosOk, cool.04:03
ExInFiNitethank04:04
ExInFiNitei'm gonna try it now04:04
ExInFiNitecya04:04
apokryphosBye04:04
LeeJunFanYeah partition isn't bad it allows you to select ext2/3 XFS, JFS, etc... you can delete any existing partition and make new ones in the unpartitioned space, make your / and other partitions, format and away you go.04:05
apokryphosnice04:06
LeeJunFanI do have to hand it to Mandrake for their partition tool, but that's the only thing I miss about that distro. :)04:07
LeeJunFanMandrake can even shrink your windows FS's to make room for linux.04:07
apokryphosFedora one wasn't too bad, though I don't recall whether it was possible to resize partitions04:07
apokryphosheh04:07
apokryphosMandrake didn't scare me back to Windoze -- which is definitely a big plus.04:08

apokryphosNot quite sure of its actual performance though04:25

smoucheCopons, that's a good question, and I'm not sure what the relationship is exactly. 06:44
randabisCopons: yes06:45
randabiswell06:45
randabistechnically it is unofficial06:45
randabisbut it shares the same repositories06:45
randabisit is unofficial in the sense that it is unsupported by canonical, but the development has been highly encouraged by them06:46
smouchefrankly I think canonical should have started with kde to begin; anyway, it's great that kubuntu was the first distro to offer the new version of kde (at least I think it was)06:48

helio7I've been skimming forums trying to assess if it's advisable to install KDE/Kubuntu packages on a gnome/ubuntu system to "test out" KDE; does anyone have an opinion about this here or are there incompatibility risks?07:51
underlordyou might want to play with the kubuntu livecd before you go installing things07:51
helio7underlord: I'm downloading all the ISOs right now; I'll do that thanks for the reminder... people generally don't have gnome and kde installed on the same system though is that correct?07:54
underlordit doesnt matter07:54
underlordkde and gnome can coexist peacefully07:55
underlordyou just select which you want to use when you login with kdm or gdm (you can use either dm)07:55

closurethere is one01:02
gdhdid it pop up a window first with 'Windows Network' or similar text?01:02

gdhThis is all from memory...01:03
closurek01:03
closurethat did remote:/01:04
closureand it says something about "samba shares"01:04

gdhaside from that, there should be Control Center -> Internet & NEtwork -> Local Network Browsing ... you can set a workgroup in there01:04

closurethere are no smb servers on the network01:10
closurethat i know of01:10
closurenothing shows up if that's what you're asking01:10

closurewhat is an smb server?01:11
gdhA windows server01:12
gdhor a Samba server01:12
gdhSMB is the name of the protocol used in 'Windows Networking'01:12

kkathmanapokryphos, no its not empty08:00
apokryphoskkathman: ok, then don't bother with the purge. I guess you'll just have to manually readd those things08:01
LeeJunFandelltony: sudo arping -I [wireless device]  [ip of wireless router] 08:02

apokryphoskkathman: yes, kicker. 08:05
kkathmanapokryphos, ok kicker :)08:05
delltonyany idea how to resolve this?08:05
apokryphoskkathman: And you're saying that the shortcuts (quick-launch items) have dissapeared, right? i.e. the konqueror one etc.08:05
kkathmanapokryphos, so how might I add those back...the icons, that is?08:05
LeeJunFandelltony: ping 64.186.37.12008:05
delltonyok hang on08:06
kkathmanapokryphos, I'm saying that the space is there, I can cursor over the space and the tool tip appears and I can launch it...just that there is no icon there anymore...its just a blank space08:06
TechLord_Workcan you remove it and readd the icon back?08:06
apokryphoskkathman: Ok, easiest way is to first add the k-menu. Right Click > Add to Panel > Special Button > k-menu08:06

delltonylet me look 08:07
LeeJunFandelltony: nameserver 192.168.0.1 or some such thing.08:07
kkathmanapokryphos,  hmmm tried that and nothing happens it seems08:08
TechLord_Workno the name server should be an actual dns server not your wireless router08:08
kkathmanhmm the trash icon isnt there either I just noticed08:08
TechLord_Workwireless router will be you gateway but not a dns server08:08
apokryphoskkathman: errm, the item isn't added?08:08
delltonythen that is the problem then08:08

LeeJunFanapokryphos: it's pretty good, of course there's always the flash and vmware issues. And I need vmware for work so I use i386 primarily.08:32
delltony_LeeJunFan, you ever use quem?08:32

randabisI have ubuntu on an old laptop08:43
LeeJunFan[dt] : on 3 different ones.08:43

apokryphosztonzy: Tried only the warty one some time ago, and I was still pretty impressed08:44
apokryphosztonzy: the latest Kubuntu one, though, certainly took the cookie08:44
LeeJunFan[dt] : one sager amd64 3400, 1680x1050 radeon 9700, the other a sony grx with 1600x1200 screen, radeon 9200. both worked flawlessly.08:45

apokryphosAh yes, that explains the reason I couldn't access the drives yesterday...08:46
ztonzyapokryphos, for USB sticks , cameras...jupp08:46

[dt] LeeJunFan: I have a Pentium-M 1.7 Toshiba laptop (m35-s456)08:47

randabissounds like your upgrade did not go as well as it could have :/11:25
randabisshould be easy to fix though11:25
=== froud is now known as froud-away
randabisjust find the missing packages and install them11:25
robodexhow would I go about fixing it, then?11:25
unnameablePLAYERsupposedly FC3 works out of the box on it with ndiswrapper11:25
randabisunnameablePLAYER: you'll probably have to configure ndiswrapper at the very least11:25
robodexI don't know exactly what to install, though... I searched for kwindecoration and it find anything11:26
randabisthere's a ndiswrapper how-to in the ubuntu wiki11:26

MithsirHi! I had a problem the other day about my "devices"-section in konqueror not working anymore. I found the fix: the devices section is just an ordinary link, you can right-click it. it seems that the kde device:/ protocol has changed to media:/ in kde 3.4. I had to manually change this...  shouldn't kubuntu do this for me?11:28
randabisMithsir: it's still in development...file a bug report so it can be fixed11:29

phxguyCan Someone help me with my volume control?11:30
phxguyit doesn''t seem to work11:30
robodexwould reinstalling kcontrol fix the problem with the missing module?11:30
phxguyI can only control my volume by adjusting the headset level11:30
Mithsirrandabis, ok, I will. I'm very happy now, that it works, though. kde finally recognizes usb-sticks etc automatically and also cleanly unmounts them.11:31
robodexphxguy: try going into the console and running alsamixer11:31
CuraltonMithsir: oh, good point!11:31
CuraltonMithsir: that should be told the guys in #kde-devel or so11:31
phxguywhat do i do in there robodex?11:31
Mithsiranother thing: I filed a bug about openoffice not working in kubuntu (kde). now it's said, that there's a new openoffice.org-kde package in the archives. Where is it? it doesn't show in my list..11:32
robodexphxguy: it's like a volume control app... you can try adjusting it from there11:32
MithsirCuralton, whatcha mean about those #kde-devel guys?11:32
randabisMithsir: have you run apt-get update?11:32
phxguythat doesn't really solve my problem though robodex 11:33
Mithsirrandabis, i've updated the package-lists ('u' in aptitude), yes11:33

phxguyid like to control the volume using the volume control in the taskbar11:35
robodexreinstalling kcontrol didn't fix the problem :\ but I gotta go afk now, bb in about 10 minutes11:35
robodexphxguy: if you have sound then kmixer should work :\11:36

randabisrobodex: might want to reinstall the whole kubuntu-desktop package11:36

CuraltonMithsir: i'd say kde guys, backwards compatibility is their concern. what also works is the "reset to system defaults" point11:42
unnameablePLAYERa version of kde without artsd would be so awesome11:43
Curaltonremove the artsd binary or turn support of in kcontrol?11:43
unnameablePLAYERor even a demon that checked for artsd or esd being on and killed it11:44
unnameablePLAYEReven if you shut it off, some progs still try to use it11:44
unnameablePLAYERat least, they did11:44
Curaltonecho -e '#!/bin/sh\nexit 0' > `which artsd`11:45
MithsirCuralton, where can I find that?11:45
MithsirWow, I just found out that I can open seperate "virtual x servers", just like consoles under F1-F6...11:46
CuraltonMithsir: here it is in the "add" menu when you rightlick on the bar11:46
ztonzyapokryphos, you there ?11:47
randabisunnameablePLAYER: you can remove arts if you want11:48
randabisyou can completely remove the package...then it can't be used :p11:49
unnameablePLAYERI will try that when I install this week11:49
