| Ben2004uk | or use my windows xp machine with drive as a server | 12:05 |
| dimmak | anybody know how i can configure the popup launch menu to use just the win key? i have to use the win+something when i just want to use win | 12:05 |
| incubii | yes then give me your old machine, making us both happy at the same time | 12:05 |
| _ReDRuM_ | Ben2004uk: naw, buy a 266 and buy me that machine... | 12:05 |
| LeeJunFan | Ben2004uk: depends on how often you want to have to reboot it I guess. | 12:05 |
| Ben2004uk | not very | 12:05 |
| Ben2004uk | main problem is i want it to be silent | 12:06 |
| LeeJunFan | Ben2004uk: take the fans out. | 12:06 |
| Ben2004uk | and this desktop isnt | 12:06 |
| incubii | get a cyrix | 12:06 |
| loren | wow | 12:06 |
| _ReDRuM_ | Ben2004uk: you can get some good silent fans, silent viking is quite good | 12:06 |
| _ReDRuM_ | incubii: elite. | 12:06 |
| loren | Ubuntu is giving out free cds | 12:06 |
| loren | that's like.... never been done before | 12:06 |

| _ReDRuM_ | tbh these days buying a pc is cheaper than building it for most people | 12:09 |
| loren | i cant believe Ubuntu is cool enough to ship us CD's | 12:09 |
| loren | that just totally like.... that makes them rock | 12:09 |
| loren | they're gonna get so many installations | 12:09 |
| phxguy | yeah and they are completely FREE | 12:09 |
| loren | Free as in beer? rofl | 12:10 |
| phxguy | FREE FREE FREE yeah :0 | 12:10 |
| === _ReDRuM_ wonders if they will stop if ppl just keep getting them cause theyre FREE BEER not cause theyre poor and have dialup :P | ||

| loren | ok so i have to distribute 10 cds, easy | 12:11 |
| loren | well | 12:11 |
| loren | yeah 10 and leave 2 for myself | 12:11 |
| _ReDRuM_ | yeh im satisfied... two minor bugs ive noticed in kubuntu, baghira theme doesnt draw the tops of windows properly (and doesnt if i compile it myself either) and superkurumba weather thing just draws a blank box tho it worked until i tried to change the city :/ | 12:11 |
| _ReDRuM_ | compared to most distros thats nothing | 12:11 |
| loren | my friend from australia is gonna be going crazy, he has to buy all his linux distros | 12:11 |
| incubii | al i wanted was 1 of each arch but shipit doesnt allow that | 12:11 |
| Riddell | aseigo: morning | 12:11 |
| loren | oh and he's in australia and can't download em coz he's on dialup | 12:11 |

| Riddell | aseigo: http://kubuntu.org/faq.php | 12:12 |
| incubii | except when im at work | 12:12 |
| Riddell | :( | 12:12 |
| aseigo | Riddell: oh.. and your blog.. "A single download dialogue to replace all those file copying dialogues" you know that already exists, right? | 12:12 |
| dimmak | there are no nearby wireless networks for you to hop on in the outback? | 12:12 |
| loren | :( | 12:12 |
| kakalto | unless someone can tell me where in the ~/ directory I can find my xfce settings? | 12:12 |
| loren | i <3 Kubuntu | 12:12 |
| Riddell | aseigo: I know there's code for it but I didn't think it worked | 12:12 |
| incubii | that would require money to purchase a wireless card | 12:12 |
| gdh | :)) | 12:12 |
| _ReDRuM_ | ~/.xfce ? :) | 12:12 |
| aseigo | Riddell: "to say that actually I really would like to quit when I close the window" is also rubbish ;) | 12:12 |
| chavo | Yes I love the single download window for konq :) | 12:13 |
| kakalto | _ReDRuM_: nope | 12:13 |
| dimmak | 10 bucks on ebay for a lucent orinoco | 12:13 |
| _ReDRuM_ | no idea then | 12:13 |
| aseigo | Riddell: i use the single window all the time | 12:13 |
| dimmak | my favorite card | 12:13 |
| incubii | id rather use our works connection | 12:13 |
| _ReDRuM_ | use KDE | 12:13 |
| kakalto | _ReDRuM_: that's the obvious one, and it's not there | 12:13 |
| _ReDRuM_ | hehe | 12:13 |
| kakalto | _ReDRuM_: it's to do with gnome not working | 12:13 |
| _ReDRuM_ | KDE is the future | 12:13 |
| Riddell | aseigo: screenshot? where is this single window? | 12:13 |
| kakalto | xfce would work if it was installed | 12:13 |
| _ReDRuM_ | gnomes belong in gardens :) | 12:13 |
| chavo | You have to enable it in the prefs. | 12:13 |
| dimmak | and you can hookup a nice pringles can or coffee can antenna and have a damn awesome wireless range | 12:13 |
| aseigo | Riddell: hrm... unfortunate about the shipit thing. why won't Ubuntu sponsor this? | 12:13 |
| Riddell | aseigo: why is it rubbish to want to quit when closing a window? | 12:13 |
| incubii | yeah ive done the pringles thing | 12:13 |
| Riddell | aseigo: because it costs a fortune I imagine | 12:13 |
| incubii | used it with a zaurus to reak havok on the wireless networks here | 12:14 |
| dimmak | coffee can is even more impressive | 12:14 |
| incubii | :d | 12:14 |
| gdh | Anyway I thought GNOME was a play on DNA .. the original helix GNOME project, etc. hence Ximian... | 12:14 |
| _ReDRuM_ | kakalto: if it's to do with missing gnome files maybe getting some gnome package like gimp would fix it | 12:14 |
| dimmak | i haven't done the usb nic with a parabolic china wok yet though | 12:14 |
| incubii | lol | 12:14 |
| dimmak | but that is supposed to be even better | 12:14 |
| incubii | if that was serious, have you got a link | 12:14 |
| dimmak | and way easier... i just need to go to the 99 cent store and get one | 12:15 |

| chavo | Riddell, http://2sdw.com/dialog.png | 12:16 |
| aseigo | Riddell: heh. "it costs a fortune" doesn't particularly answer the question though. how much more would it cost to have another set of number boxes for kubuntu? they're already creating and shipping 3 flavours of Ubuntu. | 12:16 |
| chavo | it works with local and remote file operations | 12:16 |
| dimmak | i just loaded all my wireless related links... i think it might be in there | 12:16 |
| Riddell | aseigo: well well, so it is. that desperatly needs a better desriptive label | 12:17 |
| Riddell | aseigo: dunno, ask Mark Shuttleworth I guess | 12:17 |
| dimmak | incubii: while i am looking... the basic principle is that you center the wireless nic in the focus point of the parabola of any cookware that is of parabolic shape | 12:19 |
| LeeJunFan | dimmak: before you know it they'll be selling cookware with RF gain ratings on the lable.: ) | 12:20 |

| gdh | i.e. openoffice, media players, etc. | 12:30 |
| incubii | Bicchi the kubuntu CD contains KDE | 12:30 |

| Bicchi | but does kubuntu include software for kde or do i have to download it latter? | 12:31 |
| LeeJunFan | dimmak: if you wanna spend some money and get a real antenna: http://www.hyperlinktech.com/web/antennas_2400.php | 12:31 |
| dimmak | found it!!! http://www.usbwifi.orcon.net.nz/ | 12:31 |
| dimmak | hell's no... poor man's antenna for me | 12:31 |
| incubii | real is for the people that dont like the cool factor :P | 12:32 |
| dimmak | and if i blow myself up... i want to be entirely responsible | 12:32 |
| gdh | Bicchi: It contains a complete KDE desktop | 12:32 |
| gdh | sure you CAN get extra stuff later | 12:32 |
| gdh | but the CD has everything you need to run a normal system | 12:33 |
| gdh | Kopete/Kontact/Konversation etc. | 12:33 |
| Bicchi | even programming stuff ? | 12:33 |
| LeeJunFan | I've made my own panel, horn, yagi, and omni antenna's for 2.4GHz but never a parabolic because I couldn't find a good source for a good parabolic reflector. | 12:33 |
| gdh | That's hardly an everyday task for 95% of users :) | 12:33 |
| gdh | no, Cervisia, Kdevelop, gcc et al are downloadable | 12:34 |
| Bicchi | gdh: so i am the 5%. now what? | 12:34 |
| gdh | from the 'universe' repository | 12:34 |
| kkathman | Anyone here running superkaramba thats willing to help me solve a prob? | 12:34 |
| gdh | synaptic handles this gracefully. kynaptic is still a bit early. uncomment the relevant line from your /etc/apt/sources.conf and then update your Kynaptic lists | 12:35 |
| Bicchi | gdh: is it easy to download and configure those apps once kubuntu is installed. | 12:35 |
| gdh | yes | 12:35 |
| gdh | mind-numbingly easy | 12:35 |
| incubii | yay just got the iso | 12:36 |
| incubii | time to burn it | 12:36 |
| LeeJunFan | If you install kubuntu you'll be sorry. | 12:36 |
| LeeJunFan | That you didn't try it sooner :) | 12:37 |
| netsniper | why, is kubuntu bad? | 12:37 |
| gdh | don't forget the release bug of expert mode automatically formatting the first hard disk it finds :) | 12:37 |
| kkathman | kubuntu is just fine | 12:37 |
| LeeJunFan | kubuntu is more than fine. | 12:37 |
| netsniper | is it better that standard ubntu? | 12:38 |
| netsniper | give details | 12:38 |
| netsniper | i have been running ubuntu wart/hoary for 6 months now | 12:38 |
| LeeJunFan | netsniper: that depends only on if you like KDE more than GNOME. | 12:38 |
| incubii | thats alright gdh its PPC kubuntu. no one gives a crap about OS X | 12:38 |
| gdh | LOL | 12:38 |
| incubii | :D | 12:38 |
| LeeJunFan | netsniper: kubuntu=ubuntu with KDE. | 12:39 |
| netsniper | right, but caounlt i just apt-get isntall kubuntu0base ? | 12:39 |
| netsniper | and i would have it? | 12:39 |
| LeeJunFan | netsniper: yes. apt-get install kubuntu-desktop I think. | 12:39 |
| netsniper | ahh cool, bu i cant still run the old gnome if i wanted to right? | 12:39 |
| netsniper | it doesnt overwrite everything/ | 12:39 |
| LeeJunFan | netsniper: yes. | 12:39 |
| gdh | Of course you can. | 12:39 |
| kkathman | LeeJunFan, do you run superkaramba by any chance? | 12:39 |
| netsniper | heh | 12:40 |
| gdh | the two happily co-exist | 12:40 |
| LeeJunFan | kkathman: no, I downloaded it but wasn't impressed with it really. I'll stick with gkrellm for now. | 12:40 |
| incubii | theres 15 mice on this bloody desktop one of them must be connected to the Mac | 12:40 |
| gdh | you can even decide if you want gdm or kdmfor login | 12:40 |
| kkathman | LeeJunFan, well superkaramba is more than just monitors...its a whole desktop motif shell...but ok | 12:40 |
| netsniper | if i wanted to change over to see it, and then go back, what would i do? | 12:40 |
| gdh | remove the one youdon't like | 12:41 |
| gdh | it'll default to the other | 12:41 |
| LeeJunFan | kkathman: yeah, but I really only needed monitors :) And superk didn't do a good enough job on that front although it does look better. | 12:41 |
| kkathman | yah I was running gkrellm also, until I loaded superkaramba | 12:41 |
| LeeJunFan | netsniper: I think you should be able to update-alternatives to the other gdm. | 12:41 |

| === StevenR returns the high five | ||
| loren | i like kpackage | 01:09 |
| loren | kyanptic sucks | 01:09 |
| Riddell | StevenR: it would but people find it more difficult to use (some people love it of course), it's not that well maintained and it requires su which we don't do | 01:10 |
| Riddell | but like loren says :) | 01:10 |
| gdh | kynaptic is a bit 'duh' :) | 01:10 |
| StevenR | Riddell: i see | 01:10 |
| dimmak | i have no problems with kynaptic | 01:10 |
| loren | hehe | 01:10 |
| loren | Riddel: it's graphically ok but in kubuntu it can't even install .deb files can it? how practical is that | 01:11 |
| gdh | Even just adding synaptic's 'which repositories do you want?' would be really helpful | 01:11 |

| Tm_T | jeah | 03:05 |
| Kortor | yeah, it was really nice | 03:05 |
| Tm_T | unshade on focus and so on | 03:05 |

| _ReDRuM_ | latern: nvidia/ati video drivers | 03:48 |

| Tm_T | LeeJunFan: hahaha | 04:25 |
| incubii | there was someone in here pretending to be RIAA ? | 04:25 |

| Kortor | kubuntu <3 | 05:19 |
| Tm_T | debian <3 | 05:19 |
| brazmetal | LeeJunFan: are there differences btw the 2 ways? | 05:19 |
| Kortor | ewww | 05:19 |
| _ReDRuM_ | by slick i mean the first free desktop OS that isnt source based that worked on my PC without me having to faff about | 05:19 |
| Kortor | my debian sid was slow | 05:19 |
| Kortor | but that's because a i fubarded it trying to get my drivers working | 05:20 |

| Kortor | Tm_T: can I AFFORD a server? no! :P | 05:20 |

| smouche | or sumphin' | 05:59 |
| Kortor | Tm_T: What do you think I said? | 05:59 |
| smouche | I loved that movie, glass-eye | 05:59 |
| TechLord | and if i go to kwifi it's self it works | 06:00 |
| glass-eye | it was different because it was originally a play and they didn't rewrite it to be more movie like | 06:00 |
| smouche | yeah -- kind of like Glengarry Glen Ross -- also David Mamet | 06:01 |
| dad | Tech: what are you trying to do in the control center? | 06:01 |
| glass-eye | good flick though, my wife made me watch it originally and now i love it | 06:01 |
| Bicchi | if i wish do dual boot do i have to partition the drive before going into the installation. like do it from windows? | 06:01 |
| TechLord | dad: login manger, network settings, any admin function does the same thing | 06:02 |
| glass-eye | Bicchi: not necessarily | 06:02 |
| smouche | Bicchi, yes, unless you have more than one drive | 06:02 |
| Bicchi | glass-eye: can kubuntu handle the partition of the drive and leaving windows alone. like i can alocate a certain space to it? | 06:02 |
| Bicchi | just one drive | 06:02 |
| smouche | then you could just put linux on one of them | 06:02 |
| glass-eye | I've done it, but it depends on what type of partition windows is on | 06:03 |
| Bicchi | i do not want to get rid of windows but dual OS | 06:03 |
| Bicchi | ntfs | 06:03 |
| glass-eye | hmmm...i would recommend partitioning in windows then | 06:03 |
| Bicchi | i am ready to use partition magic but need some help | 06:03 |
| smouche | well, I'm no expert, but I think it's best to have windows installed first... | 06:04 |
| dad | TechLord: sorry, I don't know what's wrong. Have you tried the kubuntu site. | 06:04 |
| Bicchi | is this a primary or logical partition? | 06:04 |
| TechLord | dad: not yet cam here first thanks... | 06:04 |
| glass-eye | all you need to do is resize your partition, i would recommend putting the windows partition at the front of the driver (i.e. just move the end) | 06:04 |
| Bicchi | glass-eye: so i do not need to create the swap and boot partition. just leave some space unallocated and thats all? | 06:05 |
| glass-eye | once you have the ntfs parition resized, just leave the rest of the area unallocated and the install should be able to create the paritions it needs in that spot | 06:05 |
| Bicchi | gotcha | 06:05 |
| glass-eye | you _could_ create a logical paritition in the empty space just to make sure | 06:05 |
| smouche | Bicchi -- I think that's right, you can let (k)ubuntu handle the rest - | 06:05 |
| Bicchi | what about size. it will let me pick the size i need. like i wish to give kubuntu 10gb and 1gb swap? | 06:06 |
| glass-eye | yeah | 06:06 |
| glass-eye | although the rule of thumb is twice the amount of ram for the size of swap i think... | 06:06 |
| smouche | yeah, Bicchi, you can configure that -- but take your time on those screens, the defaults might not be what you want | 06:06 |
| glass-eye | normally i split my /home off into its own partition too | 06:06 |
| glass-eye | or put it on a separate drive | 06:07 |
| smouche | and I would have a seperate home partition -- ditto glass-ee | 06:07 |
| dad | yes glass-eye has a very good point | 06:07 |
| Bicchi | but i have a 1gb of ram. a 2gb swap is just too much | 06:07 |
| glass-eye | lvm is also something you might want to look into | 06:07 |
| smouche | what about the logical volume manager? I've never tried to set that up... | 06:07 |
| smouche | hah, too fast, glass-eye -- you're reading my mind... | 06:08 |
| glass-eye | it will allow you a little more freedom as to the size of stuff dynamically, i haven't played with it too much yet, but it looks nice and one of my buddies uses it | 06:08 |
| glass-eye | you can set that up after the install though i believe | 06:08 |

| Tm_T | smouche: maybe I put some blood in kunqis finers :p | 06:20 |
| Tm_T | konqi I mean | 06:20 |
| narg | no no Tm_T, you add a pool of it under him, or to one side. | 06:20 |
| Tm_T | that too | 06:21 |
| smouche | I kind of like kunqi, actually, Tm_T... | 06:21 |

| dimmak | Lancellor: kubuntu vs. ubuntu? | 07:16 |
| dimmak | i think that just amounts to personal preferences | 07:17 |
| Tm_T | kubuntu vs ubuntu is more KDE vs Gnome | 07:17 |
| smouche | all I know is Lancellor, is, for me, kubuntu is a lot easier and more pleasant to work with, as a linux newbie. I found gnome confusing, but others swear by it. | 07:17 |
| Tm_T | smouche: you mean KDE | 07:17 |
| Lancellor | yea i'm not against anything i just need a newbie user able to use linux | 07:17 |
| dimmak | yeah... same thing kde vs gnome just amounts to personal preferences | 07:17 |
| smouche | yes, Tm_T, you're right. | 07:18 |
| Tm_T | 'cause kubuntu = ubuntu +kde ;p | 07:18 |
| smouche | anyway, (k)ubuntu, either way, is great | 07:18 |

| Tm_T | smouche: yep, just like Debian <3 | 07:18 |

| Tm_T | ok | 07:20 |

| dimmak | it is really easy to get disorganized though | 07:21 |

| Tm_T | FC3 is allright | 07:28 |
| Tm_T | but not the best | 07:28 |
| Lancellor | i tried fedora core 3 | 07:29 |

| dimmak | and having fast internet makes it easy to get a cd-sized distro and apt-get any additional apps you want | 07:29 |

| dimmak | the box i am testing ubuntu on is missing the network driver, at first i thought it might only be ubuntu... but it did the same thing when i thought to just install kubuntu on it too. | 07:32 |

| kkathman | it does that on my machine too, and im running an AMD Semperon 2500+ | 07:35 |

| Lancellor | i did not know | 07:35 |

| Tm_T | and yes, there is differences between linux, *BSD and UNIX | 07:36 |
| kkathman | Tm_T: yeah like the are 3 different operating systems loosely based on a similar concept :) | 07:37 |
| Tm_T | kkathman: very loosely | 07:37 |
| kkathman | but they do share similar core commands | 07:37 |

| Tm_T | kkathman: hmm, firefox have bad habit to be heavy in some boxes :/ | 07:47 |
| kkathman | smouche, they look worse on mine too, at least worse than Windoze | 07:47 |

| Tm_T | kakalto: what? P&P? | 08:35 |
| kakalto | I mean, relatively easily | 08:35 |
| kkathman | what I mean, is had...is that it doesnt run anymore | 08:35 |
| dimmak | plug and pray on linux | 08:35 |
| kkathman | no monitor | 08:35 |
| kakalto | dimmak: I heard it was that way on earlier windows. | 08:36 |
| kkathman | remember, it had a special monitor back then | 08:36 |
| dimmak | it is difficult to drag vendors into supporting their hardware on linux | 08:36 |
| kkathman | yep it is | 08:37 |
| dimmak | slowly its potential is being realized by the cunts | 08:37 |
| dimmak | sorry i couldn't think of a softer word | 08:37 |
| kkathman | even worse is popular, commerical software wont go there either | 08:37 |
| Tm_T | kkathman: uhh, c-cassette as mass storage, what an great idea =) | 08:38 |
| kkathman | Try talking to Macromedia to get Dreamweaver or Flash on Linux...not gonna happen :( | 08:38 |
| kkathman | Tm_T: LOL...true that I put that module together too | 08:38 |
| dimmak | well anybody that understands how to use linux can probably easily pirate any software | 08:39 |
| kkathman | the first thing I put together was a 4mb memory machine called a SWTP | 08:39 |

| Tm_T | _mike: working fine | 08:39 |

| kakalto | _mike: X won't start if I use nvidia | 08:40 |
| kakalto | neither will it work if I have nvidia-glx | 08:40 |
| _mike | My glxgears is still using mesa GL libs. I've done nvidia-glx-config enable | 08:40 |
| kakalto | I have to use nv | 08:40 |
| dimmak | what kind of display do you have? | 08:40 |
| _mike | And /etc/init.d/nvidia-glx is set to start on boot. | 08:40 |
| _mike | dimmak: Are you asking me or kakalto? | 08:41 |
| Tm_T | kakalto: you use too new kernel? | 08:41 |
| kakalto | Tm_T: I use default, 2.6.10.5 is it? | 08:41 |
| dimmak | either, neither... doesn't matter | 08:41 |
| _mike | kakalto: Did you add nvidia to /etc/modules? | 08:42 |
| _mike | Am i supposed to do something else to make the system use the NVidia GL libs instead of the mesa libs? | 08:43 |
| kakalto | _mike: yes | 08:43 |
| kakalto | to the first question, not the second | 08:43 |
| _mike | kakalto: Sorry, I don't know how advanced you are :) | 08:44 |

| Witigonen | Hey all, I have a couple of questions... I'm really excited about putting Kubuntu onto my laptop, but there are a few particulars about it. First off, I was wondering if the installer can non-destructively resize NTFS partitions? | 09:16 |
| Witigonen | And then, my CD drive is all messed up, so I have to install via a USB external cd drive... the Kubuntu live CD boots, but the Ubuntu one does not, so I'm assuming that there's not going to be a problem, but.. | 09:18 |
| Tm_T | hm | 09:18 |
| Witigonen | Is Kubuntu's installer close enough to Ubuntu that I can assume that they both have it? Since I know Ubuntu can resize them harmlessly. | 09:21 |
| Tm_T | they are exactly the same | 09:21 |
| Tm_T | only difference is desktop =) | 09:22 |
| Tm_T | and related proggrams | 09:22 |
| Witigonen | Let's hope the CD will work :) | 09:22 |
| Tm_T | heh | 09:26 |
| Tm_T | oh please don't use Konversation, it's just one big bloat | 09:27 |
| Beineri | Tm_T: compared to X-Chat? :-O | 09:28 |
| Tm_T | nope | 09:28 |
| Tm_T | compared to irssi ;) | 09:28 |

| seven_six_two | vegetax, check that your mixer isn't muted. a lot of times it is by default | 12:10 |
| Beineri | MyKq3: sites with plugins? | 12:10 |
| vegetax | with alsamixer? | 12:10 |
| MyKq3 | the whole system is stuck ( though if i hear music then the music is keeping on playing) | 12:10 |
| seven_six_two | when it does that, you need to use the SysRq commands | 12:10 |
| MyKq3 | Beineri, i don't know | 12:10 |
| Beineri | seven_six_two: somehow you're assuming that you have all experts here ;-) (vim, sysrq, ...) | 12:11 |

| ChrisGraz | hi! what do you guys think of the proposal to replace kynaptic with synaptic with gtk2-engines-gtk-qt? I'd like to see that in the next release, since Kynaptic is really not there (yet?) It doesn't even give you feedback when it installs the packages, nor has it an update-notification.. | 01:37 |
| Beineri | ChrisGraz: synaptic hasn't update-notification either ;-) | 01:38 |
| ChrisGraz | yeah you're right - but i guess the update-notification relies on it? well ok to be honest I have no clue how it works :) I just know it's not in Kubuntu :) But that's not a big problem for me ;) | 01:39 |
| ChrisGraz | The other think I really miss is having Firefox. Yes, I did install it, but I think it would probably be better if it | 01:39 |
| ChrisGraz | were in kubuntu too, per default. That would make it more consistend with Ubuntu/Gnome and would be just nice - Ubuntu does not include Epiphany either. :) Ok, but besides that I think Kubuntu is fine... | 01:40 |
| ChrisGraz | oh yeah and the last thing I noticed is that USB-Hotplugging does not work without former editing of fstab...hm, ok for me, but for the average john doe.. | 01:40 |

| ChrisGraz | no :) | 01:47 |
| Beineri | ChrisGraz: and discussing about a future release in a support channel is not so clever either ;-)... | 01:47 |

| Beineri | ChrisGraz: best chances for a reply is devel mailing list I guess. Not that I think your proposal will find much sympathy :-) | 01:48 |
| ChrisGraz | yeah I know..this is kind of an religous issue .. gnome vs. kde (synaptic/kynaptic)...but Firefox? Come on :) Ok, at least it should be easily installable, probably the gtk-to-qt-engine installed by default? Cause if I just install mozilla-firefox, it does not look like it fits in the desktop.. :( | 01:50 |
| Beineri | There is no need for Firefox, kynaptic will be improved and a Kubuntu update-notifier is planned anyway... | 01:50 |

| ChrisGraz | or another posibility would be to have a mozilla-firefox-qt in universe, which is precompiled for KDE integration? would be *really* nice :) | 01:53 |
| Maiexus | no | 01:53 |
| seven_six_two | you can browse files, but not as comfortably to me | 01:53 |
| Maiexus | to include gecko-engine into, well Konqueror istead of khtml | 01:53 |
| seven_six_two | way more options in konq | 01:53 |
| uniq | beineri: because most users will start one or more gtk apps in the near future after installation.. and will think kubuntu sucks since fedora does this.. and we dont. | 01:54 |

| Maiexus | well. I don't want to have a full qt version of firefox | 01:55 |
| ChrisGraz | uniq: my first thoughts were kubuntu sucks, when i tried out firefox with gtk-support..now i did some research and know better, what's the problem, but it can scare some ppl away | 01:55 |

| membreya | how goes it ? | 04:46 |
| smouche | ok, I'm partitioning a 230 gig drive, other than a seperate /home partition, what other linux directories would be advantageous to have on their own partition? /var? /usr? | 04:46 |

| apokryphos | I really only tend to have three partitions -- /, /home and SWAP. | 04:47 |
| kkathman | howdy smouche :) | 04:47 |
| apokryphos | some have /boot as one (100 megs or so), but not really necessary | 04:47 |
| smouche | hey, kkathman! | 04:47 |
| kkathman | hey apokryphos :) | 04:47 |
| _kay | hello people | 04:47 |
| apokryphos | hi :) | 04:48 |
| kkathman | what confuses you smouche? | 04:48 |
| membreya | i find windows more confusing :P | 04:48 |
| apokryphos | smouche: I pretty strongly recommend having a bifurcation for /home and / | 04:48 |
| smouche | apokryphos, any advantages to a /boot partition-- does that mean I would install the bootloader there if multibooting? | 04:48 |
| smouche | kkathman, I was wondering about optimal partitioning schemes... | 04:48 |
| apokryphos | smouche: If you specify it there, yes. But generally bootloader goes on the master boot record | 04:49 |
| _kay | depends largely on what you are trying to achieve | 04:49 |
| kkathman | ahh...man the first time I really go involved with Linux I remember that they urged to make a separate boot partition, but I dont think thats necessary anymore. | 04:49 |
| smouche | yeah, apokryphos -- that much I know ! ;-) that's what I'm using on my laptop, but I know some people have partitions for various things besides that | 04:49 |
| smouche | and I'm not clear about why... | 04:50 |

| kkathman | were you able to recover your drive last night smouche? | 04:51 |
| apokryphos | smouche: http://pw1.netcom.com/~kmself/Linux/FAQs/partition.html suggests some reasons... but I personally would just stick with / and /home | 04:52 |
| smouche | kkathman, no, alas. Thanks for asking... | 04:52 |

| === thoreauputic_ is now known as thoreauputic | ||
| smouche | I don't know whether to be pissed at maxtor, or windows, or a possible virus, or my power supply, or, remote possibility, my samba shares? for trashing that drive | 04:57 |
| kkathman | without having to buy 100 CDs .. your average joe just doesnt know enought | 04:57 |
| smouche | kkathman, you're right, no media can keep up with the size of these freakin' drives... | 04:58 |
| smouche | I should learn how to use a raid system | 04:58 |
| kkathman | smouche...well maxtor isnt a bad brand. But like I tell everyone..computers are reliable, but like anything else, they WILL wear out at some point | 04:58 |
| smouche | this was my newest drive! while an ancient 60 gig drive is going strong! | 04:59 |

| kkathman | I pretty much have western digital in my computers...they've always been extremely good for me | 05:00 |
| segfault2k | haha | 05:00 |
| smouche | scary part of it is, I want to purge windows from that box, and reformat two smallish drives, which means backing up to the drive that just flaked out, after I reformat it. fear and loathing... ;-( | 05:01 |
| kkathman | ewwwwwwwwwwww....risky :) | 05:01 |
| smouche | yeah, I should be another damn drive. | 05:01 |

| kkathman | smouche: I wouldnt think o | 05:14 |
| kkathman | so | 05:14 |
| kkathman | I still have major problems getting my windows and linux box to share things | 05:15 |
| kkathman | I let ubuntu set up samba out of the box..and I can copy things from any windows box to Linux. But my windows boxes cant "see" my Linux box at all | 05:16 |
| smouche | well, hopefully I'll be able to wean myself off windows almost completely, except for a small partition on a couple of laptops for use at work... | 05:16 |
| smouche | kkathman, yeah, that's exactly my situation. | 05:17 |
| kkathman | I can do everything in Linux I previously did in Windows except graphics work...theres just not a functional analog in Linux to Flash and Photoshop :) | 05:17 |

| kkathman | There is absolutely NO analog to Flash, and GIMP isnt even 1/10th the program Photoshop is. | 05:18 |
| smouche | since I'm not really into games, I can pretty well dispense with windows, at least till I have time to figure out wine, etc | 05:18 |
| smouche | gimp confuses me. | 05:18 |
| kkathman | well, its similar to PS, same concepts, but just isnt all that powerful quite yet | 05:19 |
| smouche | kkathman, I hope sometime in the not too distant future, svg graphics programs will be an alternative to flash. | 05:19 |
| kkathman | I actually dont even use Flash, I use a product called SWISHmax | 05:20 |
| smouche | svg is catching on slowly though, it seems | 05:20 |
| kkathman | SWISHmax is like putting a super design layer over Flash and increasing the productivity by 100fold | 05:20 |
| kkathman | and it still produces an SWF | 05:20 |
| kkathman | smouche: so I just create my graphics on my win box and then copy the finished product over to my Linux system and continue from there | 05:21 |
| smouche | never tried wine with SWISHmax, kkathman? | 05:23 |
| kkathman | nope | 05:23 |
| kkathman | I have heard that wine is a bit unpredictable | 05:23 |
| kkathman | but thats just what I heard | 05:23 |
| smouche | yep, me too. It's very hit and miss, I hear. | 05:25 |

| _ReDRuM_ | CIFS is referred to as CIFS under linux too :) | 05:56 |
| _ReDRuM_ | SMB is a different (albeit mostly compatible) protocol and even has a seperate kernel module | 05:56 |

| _ReDRuM_ | ... what sources the one's i've read all refer to CIFS as CIFS and SMB as SMB since CIFS is extended and you can't necessarily access all CIFS servers with SMB | 05:58 |

| ThatGuy | well I was just wanting to know for sure or not if Kubuntu Ubuntu was afiliated with Mepis since they had a link on there web site to Mepis,I get the feeling they are in kahoots together for some reason | 07:33 |
| Tm_T | ok, I'm gonna idle -> | 07:33 |
| _ReDRuM_ | ThatGuy: i hope not | 07:34 |
| _ReDRuM_ | mephis is crap | 07:34 |
| _ReDRuM_ | im sure they meant well but it's a poor, poor product | 07:34 |
| smouche | love the way kpackage hyperlinks stuff in the info pane; much quicker to find out what I want to know than using synaptic | 07:34 |
| _ReDRuM_ | i tried it before kubuntu - i wish that was the other way around :) | 07:34 |
| ^jude^ | disabled root login with "sudo passwd -l root" - now i get asked for a password again, but it doesn't accept mine | 07:34 |
| ThatGuy | I guess no one actually knows for sure so I think I will just go on my sense of assumption | 07:34 |
| candyban | Why can't any distro start with numlock enabled by default? | 07:35 |
| _ReDRuM_ | smouche: yeh its quite cool :) definately the best GUI tool | 07:35 |

| whiskers | already 91 people in here + the 500 in ubuntu...this stuff is catching up with gentoo | 07:50 |
| whiskers | the head part is funny | 07:50 |
| _ReDRuM_ | like the canonical guys said | 07:50 |
| _ReDRuM_ | this should be one of the main 3 distros | 07:50 |
| _ReDRuM_ | theres no reason why it cant be | 07:50 |
| _ReDRuM_ | its easily good enough | 07:50 |
| _ReDRuM_ | and they have 39 paid developers working on it :) | 07:51 |
| mikl | true dat | 07:51 |
| mikl | is really is good | 07:51 |
| _ReDRuM_ | gentoo plays a good role i think | 07:51 |
| mikl | I just wish they'd spend less time on gnome and more on KDE :) | 07:51 |
| _ReDRuM_ | but its for people who like screwing around with linux | 07:51 |
| _ReDRuM_ | it's not amazing for just running as a system | 07:51 |
| whiskers | _ReDRuM_, well gentoo has to experiment with the latest libraries and no one else can do that | 07:51 |
| mikl | gentoo has many strongpoints, but I found it to be too much of a hassle | 07:52 |
| _ReDRuM_ | why not? i can compile from source on these other boxes too | 07:52 |
| whiskers | mikl, well i found it to take too large a hard drive | 07:52 |
| _ReDRuM_ | i found it to constantly break things for no apparant reason | 07:52 |
| _ReDRuM_ | like id change nothing execpt emerge --sync from one build of the world to another | 07:52 |

| whiskers | _ReDRuM_, you never build world on gentoo | 07:53 |
| _ReDRuM_ | and then it wouldnt work the next time i tried , revdep-rebuild didnt help and i was constantly digging around for errors | 07:53 |
| whiskers | _ReDRuM_, never never | 07:53 |
| mikl | whiskers: not to mention the enormous overhead of compiling everything - for an update-junkie like me, that would be up to 10 compiles a day | 07:53 |
| xmorph | hi, is there a mirror list available, ubuntu.org is unreachable... :( | 07:53 |
| _ReDRuM_ | whiskers: your supposed to be able to emerge -uDNav world | 07:53 |
| whiskers | _ReDRuM_, because each compile may have some messages inside the compile telling you to do this or that | 07:53 |
| _ReDRuM_ | check the forums your supposed to be able to update world... | 07:54 |
| _ReDRuM_ | aand the gentoo handbook | 07:54 |
| whiskers | _ReDRuM_, and you have to watch each app very close because you only get a few seconds to read and understand what to do | 07:54 |
| _ReDRuM_ | whiskers: nohup emerge -uDNav world& | 07:54 |
| _ReDRuM_ | come back... | 07:54 |
| _ReDRuM_ | vi nohup.out | 07:54 |
| mikl | _ReDRuM_: there was actually a nice tool for catching enotices - "enotice" :) | 07:55 |
| _ReDRuM_ | without being able to build world gentoo is pointless :) | 07:55 |
| _ReDRuM_ | mikl: handy | 07:55 |
| whiskers | _ReDRuM_, no not at all...it is the easiest way to get the latest apps working | 07:55 |
| whiskers | _ReDRuM_, but you have to do each library and each app separately | 07:56 |
| _ReDRuM_ | whiskers: hence... updating world should allow you to upgrade all the apps at once | 07:56 |
| mikl | whiskers: not true, or at least, it shouldn't be :) | 07:56 |
| _ReDRuM_ | whiskers: i can see you are saying "if you take care and screw around with it doing it step by step it's mostly ok" however thats not how its SUPPOSED to work | 07:56 |
| whiskers | _ReDRuM_, you cannot do that...because again in the middle of just one app..you have to go and do things | 07:56 |

| Kortor | ive seen pictures of it | 09:50 |
| mikl | there's a review of it here: http://os.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/03/30/1229231&from=rss | 09:50 |
| Kortor | And I haven't heard anything good about it, except for that it looks like Windows. Which is hardly good in my opinion. | 09:50 |
| Riddell | they sponsor kde-look and kde-apps, this makes them extremely valuable | 09:51 |
| mikl | and they have contributed a lot to many different projects | 09:52 |
| Kortor | I don't doubt that. I just dislike that they try to sell people things in a very nosy way. | 09:52 |
| Riddell | mikl: I can't think of any | 09:52 |

| mikl | look at the bottom of http://gaim.sourceforge.net/ - It says "Linspire - a proud sponsor" | 09:56 |
| mikl | what do you think that means? | 09:56 |
| Kortor | As a final note on licensing, Richard Stallman, founder of the GNU project and the Free Software Foundation, recently said of Linspire, "No other GNU/Linux distribution has backslided so far away from freedom. Switching from MS Windows to Linspire does not bring you to freedom, it just gets you a different master." | 09:56 |

| mikl | yes, I have found the article you're pointing too | 09:59 |
| mikl | however, the previous versions of Crystal SVG that Everaldo have made are under GPL | 09:59 |
| mikl | and afaik, Linspire was paying him then too :) | 10:00 |
| Riddell | they're under the LGPL and were sponsored by SuSE (and Mandrake and Connectiva) | 10:00 |
| Riddell | but we never got the sources so thewy arn't SVG and they arn't maintainable | 10:00 |

| Riddell | mikl: linspire has had nothing to do with crystal SVG, the clear-e icons might appear under the LGPL (and if they don't I'll sue their arses off bwahaha) | 10:01 |

| Riddell | anna: breezy badger. not sure, soon I guess | 10:05 |
| anna | ah... so breezy, should I put it in my sources.list already? :) | 10:06 |
| Riddell | anna: just tried, not working yet | 10:06 |

| anna | wow, Ubuntu is #1 on distrowatch page hit ranking | 10:09 |

| simplex3 | All of the sudden all my X fonts are twice as large on screen as they used to be. I moved back to the nv driver and it went back to normal. | 10:12 |

| Riddell | anna: any ideas on how to fix that attitude welcomed | 10:23 |

| Riddell | and openoffice 2 isn't out yet, but the packages are there | 10:27 |
| anna | Riddell: The name Kubuntu has contributed to the perception certainly. After Ubuntu had so much press, it really sounds like an afterthought. | 10:28 |

| anna | Riddell: The name is good in giving a quick idea if you already heard about Ubuntu. | 10:33 |
| sander__ | anna: I'm not a kubuntu developer, but from what I see, Ubuntu employs a substantial number of gnome people and only 1 (haggi) Kubuntu devloper. I realize that there are limits as to what they can do, but for my opinion they would get more bang for their buck with KDE. | 10:33 |

| Beineri | andreas_: no, you were asked for better suggestions. not what you hate. | 10:35 |
| sander__ | Well in this case they want to build a desktop for the average user, but Gnome is developer focused (ie Nautilus the best file browser for people who use the command line to browse files) I think they would do better to at least give people a choice in this regard as opposed to being another corporation that funds Gnome chasing windmills like they do. | 10:36 |

| Beineri | andreas_: and if you can even tell why your suggestion is better than the current one... | 10:36 |
| anna | sander__: After UserLinux failed, after Ximian was bought into what became the owner of Suse, there was a gap for commercial Gnome distribution, not? | 10:36 |
| anna | Think of how many KDE stuff there already is... Xandros, Lycoris, ... | 10:36 |
| andreas_ | Beineri: Well... Having used linux for only a few months I`m a bit limited thereof, KDE is even newer to me | 10:36 |
| gdh | anna: Surely isn't Novell's own desktop Linux distro GNOME based? | 10:37 |
| Beineri | andreas_: than at least say why you hate something... *sigh* | 10:37 |
| sander__ | anna: IMHO all these corporations like Gnome because they're not beholden to anyone (Trolltech) but Gnome is so unfocused that it isn't the best candidate for the desktop. | 10:37 |
| anna | andreas_: If you want to try other mail programs, mozilla-thunderbird and evolution are maybe worth trying | 10:37 |
| andreas_ | Beineri: Il be glad to explain my opinion though. Just let me know which app you want to start with. | 10:37 |
| Beineri | <andreas_> riddell: I really hate Kontact | 10:37 |
| anna | gdh: I don't know for sure, they released some Ximian thing, but well, SLES and Suse are the thing for them | 10:38 |
| andreas_ | .. because I find Evolution to me more simple, versatile nicer | 10:38 |
| gdh | Kontact works very well for the most part.. I personally think it still feels a little fragile, but I've not engaged in a proper hunt / trace / bug report so I dont' whine about it :) | 10:38 |
| sander__ | Gnome will always be in beta with performance problems until they focus on building a great desktop instead of great technology. With Beagle and Mono the system requirements are only going to increase going forward. | 10:38 |

| Beineri | sander__: or let's make fun about that "millions JDS systems deployment in China" (at day of release) myth :-) | 10:43 |
| andrewski | ht990332: yes to nvidia. | 10:44 |
| anna | andrewski: jm hm, why did you do it, was it already screwed? | 10:44 |
| sander__ | Beineri: I mean Sun and Red Hat companies like that. From what I've read, they hire the bulk of the Gnome developers and then drag the project in different directions. | 10:44 |
| andrewski | anna: why did i reinstall it? | 10:44 |
| anna | andrewski: yeah | 10:44 |
| ht990332 | andrewski: using the driver I downloaded from Nvidia site? | 10:44 |
| gdh | ht990332: video4linux is in the kernel - the bttv module should autoprobe your TV card just fine | 10:44 |
| andrewski | ht990332: there's one in ubuntu. | 10:44 |
| ht990332 | cool, I | 10:45 |
| ht990332 | cool, I'm so excited about switching from Fedora to Kubuntu | 10:45 |
| sander__ | I really wish I could like Gnome, but I just find it perpetually in beta, with buggy eye candy, changing major features for no real reason between each release. | 10:45 |
| andrewski | anna: i normally use xfce (kind of a change, eh?) so last time i tried kde, i uninstalled it when i was "done". now i want to try it again. | 10:45 |
| andrewski | ht990332: yeah, getting away from RPMs is nice. :) | 10:45 |
| andreas_ | ht: You won`t regret the change! | 10:46 |
| anna | andrewski: hm, you ought to try using without the old .kde, esp. if you didn't use it | 10:46 |
| ht990332 | andrewski: I'm already accoustomed to using apt-get. | 10:46 |
| anna | andrewski: Kubuntu has some nice defaults that you would otherwise miss | 10:47 |
| andrewski | anna: well, i went through and configured stuff, but yeah, i'll try it after deleting. i didn't want to have to. (kde has so many options!) | 10:47 |

| andrewski | anna: i could just run it in xnest, yes? | 10:48 |
| anna | or that | 10:48 |
| ht990332 | andrewski: another important question, will kubuntu auttomatically detect my max resolution or will I be stuck with 1024x786? | 10:48 |
| andrewski | anna: or how would i run GDM on :1? | 10:48 |
| andrewski | ht990332: it *should* detect it, though you may have to add it manually. | 10:48 |
| andrewski | ht990332: you certainly won't be "stuck", though. | 10:48 |
| andreas_ | ht: auto-detect, have heard of problems | 10:48 |
| anna | dunno, depends if kde is your default session type | 10:48 |
| anna | then startx will do | 10:49 |
| andrewski | anna: it's not; that's the problem. | 10:49 |
| gdh | ht990332: It will default to whatever your *monitor* tells it is the reccomended resolution. | 10:49 |

| andrewski | anna: well the Xfce menu is the same as Gnome's. | 10:50 |
| sal002 | Does the site have a list of sources for apt.source in ubuntu (to get kubuntu packages)? | 10:50 |
| sal002 | Also, does the kubuntu version of gambas have the html module? | 10:50 |
| hunger | How can I post on ubuntuforums.org? | 10:50 |

| hunger | It never lets me... no priviledges. | 10:50 |
| ht990332 | gdh: what will I have to edit? | 10:50 |
| gdh | ht990332: TBH unless you just edit the X config file directly, I'm not sure | 10:50 |
| gdh | ht990332: it's a fairly trivial change, though. | 10:51 |
| gdh | on ubuntu /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 10:51 |
| ht990332 | gdh: so editing xorg.conf should do it? | 10:51 |
| sal002 | Or are the regular ubuntu sources the same for kubuntu? | 10:51 |
| gdh | ht990332: to the best of my knowledge, yes... | 10:51 |
| gdh | ht990332: i.e. so it should be enough just to amend one line to say Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" | 10:52 |
| ht990332 | gdh: what about the refresh rate? | 10:53 |
| gdh | ht990332: that'll be predetermined by what your monitor tells X it supports. | 10:53 |
| gdh | X will calculate the highest refresh rate suitable for the available video bandwidth | 10:53 |
| anna | Is xorg-driver-fglrx the proprietary driver or a free one? | 10:53 |

| andrewski | so anna. i tried again. this time the first time wizard did its thing and then it froze at the splash screen again. after a few seconds, there were these garbled lines going across the screen. what the heck? | 10:57 |
| gdh | ht990332: Ouch :) At least the latency will be low... | 10:57 |

| andrewski | gdh: indeed. and it freezes at the splash screen. i deleted ~/.kde* and the wizard worked and THEN it froze. :P | 11:02 |
| gdh | andrewski: the way to get the right packages is apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 11:02 |
| andrewski | gdh: but that has a lot of stuff i may not want, right? | 11:02 |
| gdh | andrewski: Probably. you can always remove it again afterwards. | 11:02 |

| andrewski | Jefis: (someone correct me if i'm wrong but) maybe you should ask this in #ubuntu here; i'm sure there are some athlon users there too. | 11:08 |
| gdh | Jefis: At a pinch then you can try to install 'linux-386' package and remove linux-k7 and linux-686 packages | 11:08 |

| spikeb | lets not make kynaptic as horrible as synaptic, how's that? | 11:21 |
| Roey | Beineri: I did | 11:21 |

| gdh | Beineri: That's a good question - is there an official bugtracker like the Debian BTS ? | 11:22 |
| Roey | I think there is | 11:22 |

| gdh | Roey: I'm amazed they managed to get a usable distro out so quick... let it settle :) | 11:23 |
| Beineri | Roey: redirects | 11:23 |
| spikeb | every piece of hardware that's running linux is niche | 11:23 |
| Roey | gdh: I don't think they 'managed', I think they rushed. | 11:23 |
| spikeb | so settle down with the niche bits | 11:23 |
| gdh | Yeh, I wonder what percentage of 'Windows PC' users have AMD64? | 11:23 |
| hunger | Roey: ... and that with linux being in a niche market;-) | 11:23 |
| Roey | then kubz is a niche distro for me I guess. | 11:23 |
| Roey | It's been *hell*, this past month with kubuntu. | 11:24 |
| Roey | and I was previously on Debian/SID for the past four or five years. | 11:24 |
| gdh | Roey: however, all but one of your issues are non-Kubuntu specific | 11:24 |

| Roey | they're Ubuntu. | 11:24 |

| lz1gjd | i've got the following problem with kubuntu : I just cannot install it. It fails complaining about missing disk space when there's enough of it ??? | 11:24 |
| Roey | kubuntu doesn't have the Python bindings for KDE. | 11:24 |
| haggai | Roey: the problem was complex I'm afraid. I did look at it but it was not trivial | 11:25 |
| andrewski | Roey: what do you want us to do about it? report bugs and stop flamebaiting the channel. | 11:25 |
| Beineri | gdh: 10% according to ubuntu torrent stats | 11:25 |
| Roey | I really don't think a wacom tablet is really all that 'niche' when it's sold openly at compusa. | 11:25 |
| haggai | Roey: I did package kdebindings | 11:25 |
| Roey | haggai: hey Chris | 11:25 |
| Roey | andrewski: I'm not flamebaiting, I'm trying to get help :) | 11:25 |
| haggai | Roey: the wacom tablet is not a kubuntu-specific thing. And did you file a bugreport about it already? | 11:25 |
| gdh | Roey: but then so is the Jayahujawicho WLAN adapter and it doesn't support that, etc. etc. =) | 11:26 |
| lz1gjd | any1 has an idea what the problem could be ? | 11:26 |
| andrewski | Roey: but why are you in #kubuntu and not #ubuntu? and why don't you file bugs? | 11:26 |

| gdh | Jefis: if your dist has just frozen solid, then it's unlikely :( | 11:30 |
| andrewski | Roey: but you want us to fix them here and now? | 11:30 |
| Roey | haggai: even more than that, I can donate in order to Make it So. | 11:30 |
| Roey | andrewski: there are some basic things that I need--wacom I can compile myself, same with the Garzik patches. | 11:31 |
| Roey | NVidia is a small problem but I can avoid it completely but using the OSS drivers. | 11:31 |
| Roey | andrewski: the only thing that really truly bothers me is raid. | 11:31 |

| jefis_ | inserted wrong side | 11:32 |
| jefis_ | :DDDDd | 11:32 |
| Roey | andrewski: I did.. then I experimented and tried to install the commercial drivers by hand.. that caused X to lockup immediately. So I tried to re-install the Ubuntu commercial nvidia driver packages, but still got that lockup problem when selecting commercial drivers in X. | 11:32 |
| Roey | andrewski: I can live without win32 pornography for now, too. | 11:32 |
| spikeb | wtf | 11:33 |
| andrewski | Roey: :/ | 11:33 |
| jefis_ | :D | 11:33 |
| Roey | andrewski: The sensors package I can do myself. | 11:33 |
| Roey | andrewski: a lot of this is just extra setup that can be performed at installation time | 11:33 |
| andrewski | Roey: so what help did you want? | 11:33 |
| jefis_ | gdh, where is logs about kernel crashes stored? | 11:33 |

| Roey | andrewski: I have a few problems on it | 11:33 |
| Roey | spikeb: *no* | 11:33 |
| spikeb | bah | 11:33 |
| Roey | spikeb: want to hear about it? | 11:33 |
| Roey | spikeb: several things happened: | 11:34 |
| spikeb | Roey yes, maybe i can find out if it's a kernel problem or not | 11:34 |
| gdh | Jefis: think about it - if your machien has frozen solid, then there is no chance for your machine to write logs to disk | 11:34 |
| jefis_ | just say ;) | 11:34 |
| gdh | Jefis: it *IS* possible to connect another computer to a serial port, and any kernel panic will be sent there.... | 11:34 |
| jefis_ | oh :) | 11:35 |
| Roey | spikeb: 1) it renumbered the raid devices -- my /dev/sd{a,b}{1,5,6} made up /dev/md{1,5,6} before; now they are /dev/md{0,1,2}. And that's just now, under Kanotix/64. When I initially installed Kubuntu, if I typed cat /proc/mdstat I'd see weird things like dm-dev1 or something | 11:35 |

| Roey | gdh: try Soy Dream | 11:42 |
| Kyaneos | why is Kubuntu created for? | 11:42 |
| Roey | gdh: I don't understand why you think it's not all that good. | 11:42 |
| Roey | Kyaneos: to provide a KDE theme pack for Ubuntu. | 11:42 |

| Roey | Kyaneos: Kubuntu = Ubuntu + KDE face | 11:42 |
| Beineri | Kyaneos: so you don't have to download GNOME additionally before you delete it ;-) | 11:42 |
| smouche | kubuntu is kde for people who used to hate kde. | 11:43 |
| gdh | Roey: /msg :) | 11:43 |
| Beineri | smouche: that's funny | 11:44 |
| Kyaneos | ok | 11:44 |
| Kyaneos | but if you had a 'custom' installation over Kubuntu you obtain the same that in a 'custom' installation of Ubuntu, had not you?? | 11:45 |
| === Beineri liked "Kubuntu is to win Ubuntu back for KDE" or alike | ||
| === Witigonen [~michael@c022h169.dorm.reed.edu] has joined #Kubuntu | ||
| Kyaneos | but with Ubuntu you can get KDE in the same manner that Gnome | 11:46 |
| Witigonen | Hey all... how can I get to a partitioning tool on the Kubuntu livecd? | 11:46 |
| Beineri | "to take it back for KDE" was it | 11:46 |
| smouche | of course. But why shouldn't people be able to start out with the desktop environment that they prefer? | 11:47 |
| Beineri | Witigonen: bribe Riddell | 11:47 |
| spikeb | yeah there's talk of an XFCE project similar to kubuntu too :) | 11:47 |
| Kyaneos | i do not understand why they created Kubuntu | 11:47 |
| gdh | Witigonen: By using eDonkey for 'partition magic' :) | 11:48 |
| smouche | spikeb - that would be great! | 11:48 |
| gdh | Kyaneos: some people prefer KDE to GNOME. Personal choice. | 11:48 |
| Witigonen | Really? Kubuntu doesn't have parted or anything? | 11:48 |
| gdh | Witigonen: not at the present time. | 11:48 |
| Kyaneos | gdh, but with Ubuntu you can install KDE too | 11:48 |
| smouche | Kyaneos, you're repeating yourself. | 11:49 |
| thoreauputic | Kyaneos: broadens the base of new users by offering KDE lovers an alternative without needing to install after the fact | 11:49 |
| Witigonen | Hm. Well, thanks. | 11:49 |
| gdh | Kyaneos: Write 'I will not be a troll' and take a clue at the back door as you leave :) | 11:49 |
| Beineri | Witigonen: the livecd is not intended to touch the hard drives anyway... | 11:49 |
| smouche | I think it would be helpful if there were just one live-cd with both on them; then folks could choose which install cd to try, ubuntu or kubuntu | 11:50 |
| Beineri | smouche: bribe amu :-) | 11:50 |
| Witigonen | Does that go for the Ubuntu livecd as well? | 11:50 |
| claydoh | would they both fit on a single cd? | 11:51 |
| gdh | No, they do not both fit on one CD | 11:51 |
| gdh | that's the whole point why there are two CDs :) | 11:51 |
| === Nakkel^ [~nakkel@vektori.com] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| claydoh | plus I already know I prefer KDE toGnome anyway :) | 11:51 |
| gdh | If there were one CD, then all hell would break loose because one would have to be the 'default selection' | 11:51 |
| Beineri | gdh: it's a question of design/architecture, eg Linspire has Live and Install-CD in one CD. | 11:52 |
| paulproteus | gdh++ | 11:52 |
| paulproteus | ;) | 11:52 |
| gdh | the same old emacs vs. vi for a new millennium *YAWN* | 11:52 |
| Kyaneos | thank you all | 11:52 |
| === cooler [~ubuntu@200.175.82.254.adsl.gvt.net.br] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| claydoh | there *has* to be something for, um discussion | 11:52 |
| cooler | hello all | 11:53 |
| gdh | Beineri: Linspire is a bag of shite because it contains no useful software on the CD to force you to "Click Nuh Run" and pay for downloads via apt-get | 11:53 |
| gdh | that's what hell of a business model | 11:53 |
| cooler | is it possible to install kubuntu from the livecd ? | 11:53 |
| gdh | cooler: No | 11:53 |
| gdh | paulproteus: :) | 11:53 |
| Beineri | gdh: Wrong. Linspire contains not less software than (K)ubuntu. It contains desktop+OOo+Mozilla | 11:53 |
| === yuxel [~opera@82.145.229.221] has left #kubuntu [] | ||
| gdh | Beineri: Bah don't cloud my argument with facts :) | 11:54 |
| gdh | Beineri: Does it still run everything as root? | 11:54 |
| Beineri | gdh: doesn't it have the same sudo principle as Ubuntu? :-) | 11:55 |
| gdh | tbh I feelit only does that to stimulate Linux virus growth, and hence the need for Linux anti-virus software... | 11:55 |
| gdh | Beineri: Not the last time I used it | 11:55 |
| gdh | That was a year or two ago, mind | 11:55 |
| === Beineri talks about Linspire 5 | ||
| smouche | so, basically what you're saying gentlemen, is that Linspire is not "a bag of shite" , it's just "a shitty bag"... | 11:55 |
| gdh | smouche: It's a commercial Linux in the most distasteful flavour. | 11:56 |

| gdh | Oh here's a good quetsion - how do I view the History of a chat in Kopete? | 11:56 |
| gdh | the 'View History' option I see in my Debian workstatiion is not present in Kub... | 11:56 |
| Beineri | gdh: and afaik apt-get works on Debian repository on Linspire without requiring you to pay ;-) | 11:56 |
| gdh | and yesthe 'History' plugin is enabled :) | 11:56 |
| smouche | don't know gdh; I just log everything with x-chat. | 11:56 |
| gdh | Beineri: Of course - but Mom and Pop who bought it on a PC from Wal-Mart don't know that :| | 11:57 |
