| bc | jnoon, I have an encoding problem also, but it only appears when I look at man pages. I get boxes and odd characters at the ends of lines- replacing hyphens, I think. Don't know why | 12:15 |

| kkathman | ahh ok...sorry was on the phone with a client | 12:17 |
| closure | hey kkathman | 12:17 |
| kkathman | actually once you get the gimpshop code, its fairly straightforward, but I could give them a list of things that they need to apt-get beforehand to save them some time | 12:18 |

| Tm_T | aseigo_: I'm from Finland | 12:24 |
| aseigo_ | cartel_: playing with it for possible use for a client. | 12:24 |
| aseigo_ | cartel_: you see my last blog entry? | 12:24 |

| kkathman | awwww aseigo_ you dont like the sandbox? | 12:26 |
| kkathman | hehe | 12:26 |
| kkathman | like anyone does :) | 12:26 |
| aseigo_ | well, gg:seigo used to be dominated by the japenese (and a german shepard dog) | 12:27 |
| cartel_ | lol asiego, nice :) "i wish Microsoft would understand the opportunities available to them if they only accepted the realities of the desktop and it's current direction (e.g. away from them)." | 12:27 |
| aseigo_ | but i've slowly taken it over during the last 2 years or so ... until this last week when the akido guy took the #1 spot again | 12:27 |

| aseigo_ | cartel_: =) | 12:27 |
| closure | well looks like mozilla is going to be testy today | 12:27 |
| kkathman | I tend to like the idea of Google threatenting Microsoft now...get MS fighting on another front :) | 12:28 |
| closure | why is it always something | 12:28 |
| cartel_ | aseigo_: lots of personal stuff here.. do you want M$ to kidnap your kid to get u to work for them? | 12:28 |
| aseigo_ | cartel_: that presentation was a real eye-openner. both because of how subtle (= well practiced) their FUD has become, and to show just how worried they really are (even if they aren't willing to change in response to that) | 12:28 |
| cartel_ | yes, its funny to watch their doublethink | 12:28 |
| cartel_ | especially in the "Windows Server System" ads | 12:28 |
| aseigo_ | haha.. if they took Peyton to redmon, he'd just throw in a knoppix disk and IM me with his location ;) | 12:29 |
| aseigo_ | there's actually less personal info in my blog than there used to be, actually ... | 12:29 |
| cartel_ | aseigo_, does he carry a dnstunnel-enabled knoppix? :p how is he going to get through the isa servers ;) | 12:30 |
| aseigo_ | now that people actually read it ;) i've tried to keep it a bit more tech oriented... | 12:30 |
| kkathman | my blog is always too political I think :) | 12:30 |
| aseigo_ | cartel_: oh yeah, he's a mad hacker. keeps a credit card sized CD burned with a live linux distro on it in his shoe ;) | 12:30 |
| aseigo_ | kkathman: url? | 12:30 |
| kkathman | aseigo_: www.xanga.com/korkster | 12:31 |
| Tm_T | ok, tell me a powerful *html editor | 12:31 |
| Tm_T | wysiwyg thank you ;p | 12:31 |
| kkathman | if you are a Far Right Wing conservative, you wont care for it much | 12:32 |
| Tm_T | =) | 12:32 |
| cartel_ | aseigo_: u should have gotten up and rebutted all their points | 12:32 |
| Tm_T | just want test different apps | 12:32 |
| aseigo_ | cartel_: oh, i kept him honest. he actually skipped past several slides completely | 12:33 |
| Tm_T | is Quanta plus the only one? | 12:33 |
| aseigo_ | cartel_: several people came up after the event and shook my hand to thank me for coming out ;) | 12:33 |
| kkathman | Im thinking about trying a different flavor of Linux on one of my servers...not because I dislike Ubuntu, but to just look at something new...suggestions? | 12:33 |
| aseigo_ | Tm_T: no... there is Quanta.. there is also *thinks* Nvu | 12:33 |
| Tm_T | ? | 12:34 |
| kkathman | Quanta Plus is actually not that bad | 12:34 |
| aseigo_ | kkathman: what have you tried already | 12:34 |
| === aseigo_ likes quanta | ||
| Tm_T | kkathman: Debian in server! | 12:34 |
| kkathman | aseigo_: uhm.. RH9, FC3 (very briefly), Mandrake, Libranet | 12:34 |
| aseigo_ | kkathman: SUSE. | 12:34 |
| aseigo_ | kkathman: SUSE is very nice. | 12:34 |
| cartel_ | i hate suse | 12:35 |
| Riddell | aseigo_: morning. remember I'm on austrlian time | 12:35 |
| cartel_ | ;) | 12:35 |
| kkathman | problem with SUSE tho, I thought, was that you cant really get a full distro, cuz they only sell commerical | 12:35 |
| aseigo_ | Riddell: so wake up earlier. really, what's more important? chatting with me on irc or sleeping? pfft. PRIORITIES! ;) | 12:35 |
| aseigo_ | Riddell: how's the conf? | 12:35 |
| kkathman | the full SuSE that is | 12:35 |
| kkathman | hey Riddell :) | 12:35 |
| aseigo_ | kkathman: no... just do an ftp install.. i do them all teh time | 12:35 |
| Tm_T | Riddell o/ | 12:35 |
| aseigo_ | kkathman: go grab the boot.iso from the ftp server, burn it (it's like 60MB for 9.2) and go from there... | 12:36 |
| kkathman | ahh ok | 12:36 |
| aseigo_ | kkathman: remember to jot down the address of the mirror you grab it from for use during installation | 12:36 |
| kkathman | ok will do | 12:36 |
| aseigo_ | Riddell: have you seen my last blog entry? | 12:36 |

| kkathman | aseigo_: do you think SuSE will run on a minimalist machine...P2 450, 128MB RAM ? | 12:37 |
| kkathman | FC3 is marginal on that | 12:37 |
| aseigo_ | kkathman: yep.. | 12:37 |
| Riddell | un oh, aseigo_ tries kubuntu, now we're in trouble | 12:37 |
| kkathman | aseigo_: kewl thanks man | 12:37 |
| aseigo_ | Riddell: haha... dum dum DUM! | 12:37 |
| cartel_ | aseigo_: sounds like u have problems with the women :o | 12:37 |

| cartel_ | aseigo_: in your opinion what is the best kde-friendly distro? | 12:38 |
| kkathman | Whys that Tm_T ? | 12:38 |
| aseigo_ | though a woman i met in hawaii in january keeps emailing me ... =) that's good | 12:38 |
| aseigo_ | cartel_: "best" ... in which way? | 12:38 |
| Tm_T | kkathman: I wouldn't even consider any other in server | 12:38 |
| cartel_ | aseigo_: most integrated? | 12:38 |
| aseigo_ | cartel_: SUSE | 12:38 |
| cartel_ | aseigo_: are they your employer? | 12:39 |
| aseigo_ | cartel_: YAST and KDE and their general packaging intelligence is probably the slickest thing out there right now | 12:39 |
| aseigo_ | cartel_: no | 12:39 |
| kkathman | lol | 12:39 |
| cartel_ | aseigo_: why not? because they cant have both you and miguel? ;) | 12:39 |
| Riddell | aseigo_: you may be interested in http://udu.wiki.ubuntu.com/KubuntuRoadmap | 12:39 |
| cartel_ | aseigo_: it seems funny to have suse, which is kde, and ximian, which is gnome... cool but funny | 12:40 |
| aseigo_ | cartel_: haha .. i can only imagine me and miguel working down the hall from each other =) | 12:40 |
| Riddell | aseigo_: tabbar at the top on konsole is to match konqueror and other tab bars (but not I note koshell 1.4) | 12:40 |
| cartel_ | aseigo_: it seems very lame that miguel and havoc have high profile positions in linux vendors but not you | 12:40 |
| aseigo_ | Riddell: you do understand why that one is on the bottom, right? like konversation? =) | 12:41 |
| Riddell | aseigo_: didn't remember to make a kubuntu theme I certainly should do | 12:41 |
| Riddell | aseigo_: yeah, I guess so | 12:41 |
| === Riddell moves konsole tab bar to bottom to give it a try | ||
| aseigo_ | it's where your eyes rest most of the time =) | 12:41 |
| Riddell | kynaptic is crap, we know this much | 12:42 |
| aseigo_ | who is working on it? | 12:42 |
| aseigo_ | and how much of a fork of synaptic is it? | 12:42 |
| Riddell | aseigo_: nobody, that's why it's crap, I hope to work on Kapture instead | 12:42 |
| kkathman | aseigo_: would you suggest the 9.3 SuSE ? | 12:42 |
| aseigo_ | ah .. i see. | 12:42 |
| Riddell | it's in the same repository as synaptic | 12:42 |
| aseigo_ | kkathman: it's not up on ftp yet | 12:42 |
| cartel_ | kynaptic is written in python yes | 12:42 |
| cartel_ | i should hack it | 12:42 |
| kkathman | ahh ok..only 9.2 then | 12:42 |
| cartel_ | maybe its not worth it | 12:42 |
| Riddell | cartel_: no it's not | 12:43 |
| === aseigo_ notes that the kynaptic toolbar is rather ... unique. | ||
| cartel_ | it looks like a pyqt app | 12:43 |
| kkathman | I just went to the page and they have a download link tho...perhaps not FTP | 12:43 |
| Riddell | as are the menus.. no quit button | 12:43 |
| aseigo_ | yep | 12:43 |
| aseigo_ | it allows you to exit w/out "committing" changes ("commit"? augh) | 12:43 |
| Riddell | good ideas with the konqueror about page, I spend enough time on the KDE 3.4 about page that i didn't want to spoil it though :) | 12:44 |
| aseigo_ | it has a modal dialog which should probably just replace the main tree view when it's installing, etc.. but yeah... blah.. kapture.. let me see. | 12:44 |
| aseigo_ | Riddell: i was sitting down with it and here are my thoughts on about: in kubuntu.. do with them as you will =) | 12:44 |
| aseigo_ | the 3 rows of icons: | 12:44 |
| aseigo_ | Home Trash | 12:44 |
| Riddell | aseigo_: with kcontrol I'm seriously considering using systempreferences instead | 12:44 |
| aseigo_ | Network Remote | 12:44 |
| kkathman | aseigo_: 3.2G DVD...that sound right? | 12:44 |
| aseigo_ | Install Software Settings (<-- which just launch kcontrol directly) | 12:45 |
| kkathman | seems big to me | 12:45 |
| aseigo_ | kkathman: that's the 9.3 DVD, yes.. but it's missing a lot of packages. it's more of a preview than anything | 12:45 |
| Riddell | aseigo_: Network and Remote? | 12:45 |
| aseigo_ | kkathman: you want the 9.2 boot.iso .. it'll be in suse/x86/9.2/boot/boot.iso | 12:45 |
| Tm_T | sorry guys but I have to sleep -> | 12:45 |
| kkathman | ahhh ok | 12:46 |
| aseigo_ | Riddell: sorry... my bad.. Storage and Network/Remote | 12:46 |
| aseigo_ | Tm_T: g'nite man | 12:46 |
| aseigo_ | and Install Software would launch kynaptic kapture... | 12:46 |
| kkathman | aseigo_: boot-20041129.iso ? | 12:46 |
| Riddell | aseigo_: I think there should be a link to a Welcome to Kubuntu help document too | 12:46 |
| aseigo_ | and yeah. ... would be ++cool if the about: screen looked like the kubuntu web site =) use those spanky tabs ... one for the starting points, intro, tips, and the kubuntu home page | 12:47 |
| aseigo_ | Riddell: that would belong in the tabbar, no? | 12:47 |
| Riddell | which tab bar? | 12:47 |
| aseigo_ | oh, right.. how the HELL do i get the kubuntu help that i saw install? | 12:47 |
| aseigo_ | Riddell: well, assuming you took the top tab bar from kubuntu.org and made that the top of the about: page | 12:47 |
| Riddell | there is no kubuntu help now | 12:48 |
| Riddell | ah yes, that rab bar | 12:48 |
| Riddell | tab bar | 12:48 |
| aseigo_ | er, the ubuntu help.. sorry.. .the ubuntu dos | 12:48 |
| aseigo_ | er, docs | 12:48 |
| aseigo_ | oh.. and what do you think about shipping a "more usable" window buttons layout? | 12:48 |
| Riddell | /usr/share/doc/ubuntu-docs/about-ubuntu-html/index.html | 12:48 |
| KaiL | aseigo_: more usable? | 12:48 |
| aseigo_ | [s] == spacer ... | 12:48 |
| aseigo_ | X [s] [s] [s] [s] Menu <Title, left aligned> <?> [s] [s] Min Max | 12:49 |
| aseigo_ | try it =) | 12:49 |
| Riddell | aseigo_: could be controvertial, even Mac OS has copies the windows 95 layout | 12:49 |
| KaiL | aseigo_: bad | 12:49 |
| === blueyed [~daniel@i528C300C.versanet.de] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| KaiL | people expect x on the right | 12:49 |
| KaiL | is it really required to install all that python stuff on a default installation?= | 12:51 |
| aseigo_ | well, in osX it's on the left.. but.. whatever | 12:51 |
| cartel_ | KaiL: ubuntu uses lots of python so yes | 12:51 |
| cartel_ | aseigo_: u learned python yet? | 12:52 |
| KaiL | aseigo_: but there are way more people coming from windows | 12:52 |
| aseigo_ | cartel_: god no | 12:52 |
| KaiL | cartel_: if any app requires python, ok | 12:52 |
| aseigo_ | cartel_: at least not enough to be profficient.. i've hacked on and read a bit of python, and i can understand it.. but yeah, no desire to get good at it =) | 12:52 |
| cartel_ | KaiL: internal stuff uses python | 12:52 |
| cartel_ | KaiL: pre/postinst etc | 12:52 |
| KaiL | but why does it need to install python-addons which are not required by anything on the disk | 12:52 |
| Tm_T | oh, no I'm not gonna sleep! | 12:53 |
| KaiL | cartel_: so these packages should have that and only that python-module on it's depend list | 12:53 |
| Tm_T | I start to make an alpha of my homepage =) | 12:53 |
| cartel_ | KaiL: im sorry? its the same as debian with perl | 12:53 |
| === Riddell tunes kwin to aseigo_'s button layout | ||
| KaiL | doesn't make that better | 12:53 |
| Tm_T | ? | 12:54 |
| aseigo_ | btw, the choice of conversation as a default irc client is .... interesting. the fact i HAD an irc client by default was interesting =) | 12:54 |
| KaiL | kubuntu-desktop directly depends on packages like "python-musicbrainz" (whatever that is..) | 12:54 |
| KaiL | THAT is imho a bad idea | 12:54 |
| Riddell | aseigo_: interesting in which ways? | 12:54 |
| Tm_T | irssi <3 | 12:54 |
| cartel_ | KaiL: why? | 12:54 |
| KaiL | cartel_: because either that package also needs it directly (which I don't belive in) or this dependency breaks with the rule "only install what's needed" | 12:55 |
| cartel_ | KaiL: kubuntu-desktop depends on amarok which uses musicbrainz | 12:55 |
| KaiL | so amarok _may_ depend on "python-musicbrainz", if it needs that | 12:56 |
| cartel_ | KaiL: its to give the musicbrainz feature by default | 12:56 |
| cartel_ | not depend, optional | 12:56 |
| KaiL | it doesn't btw. | 12:56 |
| cartel_ | so you would like a stripped down distro that only installs minimal packages and lets you choose exactly what you want yes? | 12:57 |
| KaiL | no | 12:57 |
| cartel_ | like sarge netinst/debootstrap? | 12:57 |
| Tm_T | Debian Sarge <3 | 12:57 |
| KaiL | I want dependencies, which depend on something, because it is needed or maybe can be used directly by this package | 12:58 |
| cartel_ | well afaict, the spirit of kubuntu is to give a nice desktop, and to do that it uses lots of python | 12:58 |
| KaiL | but NOT depends on something which might be used by any package this package depends on | 12:58 |
| KaiL | if amarok depends on this "python-musicbrainz", as it makes use of it | 01:00 |
| cartel_ | it doesnt depend :) its optional, the point of including it is to give the functionality by default | 01:00 |
| KaiL | it doesn't even suggest :) | 01:01 |

| KaiL | ... | 01:05 |
| darkaudit | yes? :) | 01:05 |
| Tm_T | darkaudit: great song ends a great album :) | 01:05 |

| aseigo_k | er, combox | 01:06 |
| aseigo_k | combos | 01:06 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: speaking of media players ... why amaroK, Noatun _and_ juk? | 01:06 |
| Riddell | KaiL: do you know what brings them in? | 01:06 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: noatun isn't installed | 01:06 |
| KaiL | Riddell: kubuntu-desktop itself, that's the problem... | 01:07 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: amarok because it's sexy and juk because it's usable | 01:07 |
| KaiL | if any app would depend on them, it's ok | 01:07 |
| Tm_T | and amaroK is still unstable sometimes | 01:07 |
| === aseigo_k ponders how he got Noatun installed then. =/ | ||
| KaiL | but a metapackage normally shouldn't depend on libraries imho | 01:07 |
| Tm_T | aseigo_k: it's in some KDE package? | 01:07 |
| cartel_ | Riddell: apt-cache show kubuntu-desktop | 01:07 |
| cartel_ | KaiL: i actually agree there | 01:07 |
| cartel_ | kaiL: but i dont think its a waste of diskspace | 01:08 |
| darkaudit | aseigo_k: I switched all my media associations off noatun to either xine or XMMS | 01:08 |
| aseigo_k | it would be nice to see amaroK come "pre set up" for the user so they don't have to go through the first time wizard ... and yeah... i love juk, but wonder how that fits in with the rest of the app choices (being "one app for one thing" it seems/) | 01:08 |
| cartel_ | an unusual depend is diveintopython | 01:08 |
| nmorse | Is there any particular reason changing the file manager icon settings in kcontrol does no good? | 01:08 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: oh, which reminds me... what would you think about dropping the web browser and file manager panels from kcontrol? | 01:08 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: panels? | 01:09 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: kcm's | 01:09 |

| === aseigo_k notes that there is a wierd.. um.. bug? in kicker when using the hiding button... a grey bar remains on the desktop... windows over lap it, but not icons... | ||
| aseigo_k | i've never seen THAT before.. was that intentional somehow? | 01:10 |
| aseigo_k | nmorse: for the webbrowser as well? should kmail's preferences be there too? | 01:10 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: I don't see that | 01:11 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: heh. neat. | 01:11 |
| nmorse | No, we have kontact for all the PIM stuff | 01:11 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: someone said we should use fading handles on kicker applets. any thouhts? | 01:11 |
| Tm_T | yes? | 01:11 |
| cartel_ | the other thing i noticed was "Log out" does not return to kdm | 01:11 |
| KaiL | <aseigo_k> Riddell: oh, which reminds me... what would you think about dropping the web browser and file manager panels from kcontrol? << +++ | 01:11 |
| nmorse | And why can I not change the file manager icon settings? It says they're changed in Kcontrol -> Appearance and Themes -> Icons -> Advanced | 01:12 |
| Tm_T | KaiL: you're using Konversation? | 01:12 |
| Riddell | cartel_: works for me | 01:12 |
| KaiL | Tm_T: currently xchat, because konversation can't hide servertabs | 01:12 |
| Tm_T | ok | 01:12 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: the konqueror toolbar could use a bit of love too =) kill the lock icon, for instance, and Find... though i'm not sure how "minimal" vs "stock KDE" you are aiming for | 01:12 |
| Tm_T | KaiL: just guessed from you paste ;) | 01:13 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: I'm happy to experiment | 01:13 |
| Riddell | especially if ideas have any chance of being put back into KDE | 01:13 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: and I do hate that lock icon...but pmax might kill me | 01:13 |
| cartel_ | aseigo_: that lock icon should appear in the status bar like rss and kwallet | 01:13 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: fading handles... not a bad idea, but you'd want to backport the changes to kdebase/kicker/core/applethandle.cpp for applets with out-of-process elements (like the system tray) otherwise it looks a bit like ass | 01:13 |
| KaiL | aseigo_: http://moba.linuxfaqs.de/kde34.jpeg THAT is a clean toolbar :) | 01:13 |
| Riddell | cartel_: it does, and the location bar | 01:14 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: does pmax use kubuntu? | 01:14 |
| KaiL | you can also hide the |, as I did later.. | 01:14 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: not that I know of | 01:14 |
| Tm_T | wtf my Quanta plus just crashed :/ | 01:15 |
| Tm_T | not that funny | 01:15 |
| nmorse | Man, Kubuntu's KDE is cut down beyond belief | 01:15 |
| Tm_T | ? | 01:15 |
| KaiL | nmorse: ? | 01:15 |
| nmorse | Anyway, I still haven't had anyone answer the question regarding the freaking huge icons in Konqueror | 01:15 |
| === smouche [~bc@cpe-24-90-94-112.nyc.res.rr.com] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| aseigo_k | and what do you think about tweaking konq's settings so it's a bit more firefoxy? e.g. new windows in tabs... (maybe even tab bar always shown? nice way to reduce flicker/jumpiness... and if you manage to squeeze the toolbar onto one line you don't take up more space) | 01:16 |
| Tm_T | smouche <3 | 01:16 |
| Riddell | KaiL: but with that you have a lot of wasted unused space on the toolbar | 01:16 |
| nmorse | Kubuntu doesn't look like KDE from source or other distros | 01:16 |
| aseigo_k | and turn on the popup blocker | 01:16 |
| Tm_T | nmorse: hm, you tried set them in konqui? | 01:16 |
| KaiL | Riddell: I have my bookmarks right of that :) | 01:16 |
| nmorse | No way to set icon size in Konqui I've found | 01:16 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: absolutly | 01:16 |
| sladen | /w9n/win 13 | 01:16 |
| nmorse | and the Kcontrol icon settings doesn't work, which is bad | 01:16 |
| Tm_T | nmorse: there is | 01:16 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: new windows are in tabs | 01:16 |
| smouche | Hi Tm_T | 01:17 |
| === aseigo_k notes that there is a bug in the window deco control panel as well, in that it always defaults to KDE2 instead of the current plastik | ||
| Tm_T | nmorse: view -> icon size -> | 01:17 |
| === Riddell suspects sladen of listening in on the conversation malitiously | ||
| Tm_T | smouche: how are you? | 01:17 |
| smouche | good! you? | 01:17 |
| nmorse | Found it, Tm_T | 01:17 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: they open in tabs by default? in 5.04? | 01:17 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: I don't see that beastie | 01:17 |
| Tm_T | ok | 01:17 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: think so, try opening Home from the kicker system menu | 01:18 |
| KaiL | lol, has somebody seen Lipstick and gtk2-engines-qt working together? :) | 01:18 |
| aseigo_k | nmorse: oh.. and you don't want to know how big i usually have my icons in konqi ;) | 01:18 |
| nmorse | But why doesn't the File Manager Icon Size work in KControkl -> Appearance & Themes -> Icons -> Advanced? | 01:18 |
| === Riddell plans to install kubuntu next time sladen's laptop is left unattended | ||
| aseigo_k | Riddell: nope. new window. | 01:18 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: opens in a tab for me | 01:18 |
| sladen | Riddell: ...my screen has been frozen for the last 5minutes because of the wonderful wifi | 01:18 |
| aseigo_k | nmorse: what's the icon size in the View menu in konqi say? | 01:18 |
| Tm_T | nmorse: it worked allright then? | 01:19 |
| nmorse | It worked from the View menu in Konqui, but the KControl Icons kcm doesn't work | 01:19 |
| Tm_T | :) | 01:19 |
| nmorse | Someone should look at that | 01:19 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: hm. i haven't touched those settings. this is a brand new install. the only thing i've changed is i just turned on fade out handels on kicker to see that in action and i mucked with the window deco butons | 01:19 |
| Tm_T | smouche: I have a problem | 01:20 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: maybe that's my fault then, I'll mind to investigate that | 01:20 |
| smouche | what's that, Tm_T? | 01:20 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: but with open in tab Konqueror needs to just to the top when a new tab opens | 01:20 |
| nmorse | I change to Plastik windeco, Keramik style, Keramik White color scheme, Penny Arcade CTS wallpaper | 01:20 |
| === aseigo_k wishes konqi also came with java and flash plugins =) | ||
| Tm_T | smouche: tell me a decent html editor | 01:20 |
| KaiL | brb (need to change something here..) | 01:20 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: "just to teh top"? | 01:20 |
| Riddell | s/just/jump/ | 01:21 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: oh.. and the performance settings... | 01:21 |
| smouche | in linux? I have no idea; anyway, I generally just use a text editor and steal layouts! | 01:21 |
| Riddell | performance settings? | 01:21 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: right.. which is why i usually run with the tab bar always on.. | 01:21 |
| Tm_T | smouche: :) | 01:21 |
| Tm_T | smouche: I don't remember tags and such | 01:21 |
| aseigo_k | performance.. konq isn't set to preload on startup and Minimize Memory Usage is the default (if safeish) "Only in file management" | 01:21 |
| smouche | Tm_T -- I used something in windows called arachnophilia, a java app, rather nice. But I'm no web designer. | 01:21 |
| Tm_T | yuk | 01:21 |
| nmorse | Quanta Plus is the best HTML editor I've ever used | 01:22 |
| nmorse | On any OS | 01:22 |

| KaiL | let's start flaming: | 01:23 |
| KaiL | fontsize -> is that made for blinds running 150dpi? :) | 01:23 |
| Tm_T | haha | 01:23 |
| Tm_T | YES! | 01:23 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: yeah.. the konqi settings could use some work.. they are all pretty vanilla defaults.. things like the "1MB max" for file previews is a bit conservative.. lots of people ask about that in #kde | 01:23 |

| Riddell | aseigo_k: what does Minimize Memory Usage do? | 01:24 |
| nmorse | Is there a JDK in multiverse? | 01:24 |
| smouche | can i rave about something I love in konqueror? | 01:24 |
| === aseigo_k thinks having previews turned on for Fonts is also a nice idea.. | ||
| aseigo_k | Riddell: it just runs all the konqi windows in one process | 01:24 |
| KaiL | Tm_T: it's really WAY to big here | 01:24 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: so ... if one goes down, they all do.. that's the risk =) | 01:24 |
| smouche | the tabs, and the fact that, unlike firefox's | 01:24 |
| aseigo_k | smouche: of course =) | 01:24 |
| Tm_T | KaiL: stick with 70dpi ;) | 01:24 |
| KaiL | bad! | 01:24 |

| smouche | that doesn't happen in konqueror -- great design! | 01:25 |
| KaiL | and the default is huge | 01:25 |
| Tm_T | KaiL: me too, too large =) | 01:25 |
| Tm_T | I have to use 8p fonts :p | 01:25 |
| KaiL | 9p now | 01:26 |
| _ubuntu | Kubuntu's user interface(KDE) is way more responsive than Ubuntu(gnome), I am on Duron 600, 256MB, GF2 MX200 32MB | 01:26 |
| KaiL | why is there the right hidebutton on kicker? | 01:26 |
| nmorse | So you can hide the panel manually | 01:26 |
| KaiL | hmm | 01:26 |
| Tm_T | KaiL: remove it if you don't like it? | 01:26 |
| smouche | KaiL, you can remove that button or put it on the left, or have two | 01:26 |
| nmorse | Please leave that there at least by default | 01:26 |
| KaiL | I know I know.. I'm only flaming about the defaults :) | 01:27 |
| smouche | or make it really small, whatever. I wish those buttons were transparent, or at least that the blue triangle thing would go away | 01:27 |
| nmorse | I flamed about huge icons in Konqueror earlier | 01:27 |

| nmorse | One more thing, why on earth, if there is a perfectly good, free messaging and chatting technology available, with a huge amount of modern clients, does every F/OSS project feel the need to use X-Chat and IRC by default?!! Is there some kind of anti-Jabber movement I don't know about? | 01:32 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: sorry.. was busy looking at konq... hrm.. systempreferences... it's a step backwards in a lot of ways. | 01:33 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: it would need a good amount of work to get it to where it was useful. mostly to do with re-doing a lot of the panels themselves | 01:33 |
| Blissex | nmorse: tradition... And IRC is good enough. | 01:34 |
| Tm_T | irc <3 | 01:34 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: how is it a step backwards? | 01:35 |
| Tm_T | I don't think there's better option than irc | 01:35 |

| Tm_T | nmorse: tell me, what would be better choise than irc? | 01:36 |
| nmorse | Jabber | 01:36 |
| Tm_T | eh | 01:36 |
| nmorse | with MUC conference support | 01:36 |
| Tm_T | hmm | 01:37 |
| Tm_T | and most *nix people don't use jabber afaik | 01:37 |
| nmorse | It allows everything done now, including making channels, joining channels, and choosing nicknames | 01:37 |
| nmorse | and allows IM to boot | 01:37 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: the combinations of many of the panels make 0 sense | 01:37 |
| nmorse | plus transports are possible to IRC, AIM, MSN, and Yahoo if you so desire | 01:37 |
| Curalton | is there a ubuntu equivalent to packages.debian.org? i want to download the kword + dependencies for a ubuntu box that is offline atm | 01:38 |
| nmorse | Send file, anything I'm leaving out? | 01:38 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: just like kcontrol then, and at least its searchable | 01:38 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: you trade off an initial interface that is somewhat nicer for complete hell once you drill down | 01:38 |
| Tm_T | nmorse: and what is "MUC conference" ? | 01:38 |
| aseigo_k | kcontrol is searchable too | 01:38 |
| aseigo_k | no, not like kcontrol at all | 01:38 |
| nmorse | Multi-User Chat | 01:38 |
| Tm_T | ok | 01:38 |
| === pvh [~pvh@S010600104b692958.du.shawcable.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| nmorse | It allows rooms like this one | 01:38 |
| aseigo_k | s.p. combines 3 or 4 panels at a time often in ways that are just horrible. | 01:38 |
| nmorse | And both Gnome and KDE include Jabber clients by default | 01:38 |
| Tm_T | nmorse: so tell me, what advantages does it have what irc not? | 01:39 |
| pvh | I'd like to get started with my own public key. Can anyone direct me to a good HOWTO? My searches have been fruitless so far. | 01:39 |
| Riddell | pvh: gpg --gen-key or something similar | 01:39 |
| aseigo_k | pvh: run kgpg | 01:39 |
| nmorse | For one thing, IM. For another, a decent interface. | 01:39 |
| nmorse | Transports | 01:39 |
| pvh | Thanks! | 01:39 |
| Tm_T | nmorse: what?!! | 01:39 |
| aseigo_k | pvh: it will give you a gui for creating a keypair when it starts up the first time | 01:40 |
| Tm_T | nmorse: there can't be better interface than irssi have! | 01:40 |
| Riddell | I wonder if amarok can be stipped down to be as simlpe as juk by default with all its fancy features there for those who want them | 01:40 |
| nmorse | pick a Jabber client | 01:40 |
| nmorse | there's one for every interface | 01:40 |
| nmorse | Even Kopete and Gaim have Jabber support | 01:40 |
| nmorse | Then there's Gabber, Cabber, CenterICQ, Psi, etc. | 01:41 |
| Tm_T | nmorse: so what's wrong with irc? | 01:41 |
| Tm_T | you can use irssi, gaim, Konversation, X-Chat .... | 01:41 |

| Riddell | aseigo_k: well, that remains to be seen if KDE ever gets a release schedule | 01:52 |
| aseigo_k | such as the ability to assign the Home button per profile | 01:52 |

| kkathman | KaiL: thats a good point actually, it is funny...they are used to clicking the bottom toolbar (kicker) and yep..the apps disapper | 01:56 |
| kkathman | disappear I mean | 01:56 |
| kkathman | Its because the kicker isnt tied to the desktops which fools some | 01:57 |
| bettse | does anyone here use a ipw2100 wireless card? | 01:57 |

| aseigo_k | Riddell: heh.. ok... screenshots anywhere? | 02:30 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: of kapture, that is | 02:30 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: and when you say "applications based", you mean osmething wher eyou can click "spreadsheet" and it installs <whatever spreadsheet>? | 02:31 |
| incubii | heya | 02:31 |
| incubii | sounds like klik for knoppix | 02:31 |
| kkathman | Ive heard decent things about knoppix :) | 02:32 |
| incubii | i worked on the early HDD installer | 02:32 |
| incubii | i was that impressed by it | 02:32 |
| incubii | :D | 02:32 |
| incubii | i use it all the time at schools, libraries, net cafes | 02:32 |
| kkathman | Ive got a free disk for Knoppix I never used actually | 02:32 |
| KaiL | aseigo_: and if you try to open a file no app on the disk can open, this tool pops up and gives you a list of apps, which can :) | 02:32 |
| incubii | that is of course unless i want to be naughty and then i use auditor | 02:32 |
| nmorse | I used it in an all Windows lab at a Cali Tech Conference this summer | 02:33 |
| nmorse | saved my life | 02:33 |
| KaiL | Knoppix is a nice distribution, but it has 2 very bad things: | 02:33 |
| === downclimb [~johnson@host-69-145-229-49.cac-co.client.bresnan.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| KaiL | 1. it has too must shit (sorry) like xemacs or development stuff installed | 02:33 |
| incubii | i used it to setup a temporary net cafe | 02:34 |
| incubii | 1 cd and the rest netbooting | 02:34 |
| incubii | yeah i agree it doesnt need the development stuff | 02:34 |
| KaiL | 2. Klaus Knopper is paranoid, he doesn't even put the nvidia driver on the disk, because the compression could be to much modification..... | 02:34 |
| incubii | yeah thats why you use a remaster | 02:35 |
| KaiL | now compare that to ubuntus "linux-restricted-modules" :) | 02:35 |
| incubii | like moprhix, overclockix, kanotix | 02:35 |
| KaiL | kanotix is made by an asshole... | 02:35 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: no screenshots of kapture I'm afraid | 02:35 |
| KaiL | I knew him from the knoppix chat - never saw such an arrogant person | 02:35 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: yes, something like that | 02:35 |
| KaiL | who doesn't care at all about licences btw. | 02:36 |
| incubii | yes i know | 02:36 |
| incubii | but it does provide what i need | 02:36 |
| incubii | although probably illegally | 02:36 |
| KaiL | Riddell: this kapture is like a ghost... | 02:36 |
| KaiL | no package, no screenshots, no download - is there any line of code already written? ;) | 02:36 |
| Diablo-D3 | aseigo_: hah | 02:36 |
| Diablo-D3 | aseigo_: Im still working up a blog entry over ubuntu | 02:37 |
| incubii | lol | 02:37 |
| Diablo-D3 | I just cant find anything worth saying that hasnt already been said | 02:38 |
| incubii | i often thought of remastering knoppix myself to make it more desktop | 02:38 |
| Diablo-D3 | incubii: ... then you'd have the ubuntu live cd. | 02:38 |
| incubii | rip out all that dev shit as its not needed | 02:38 |
| Diablo-D3 | hell, ubuntu killed knoppix. | 02:38 |
| incubii | i havent tried them since warty | 02:38 |
| KaiL | I once had the Idea to replace that devel shit with more localisations | 02:39 |
| Diablo-D3 | (for the record, ubuntu uses a highly modified version of morphix) | 02:39 |
| KaiL | you can add all localisations from everywhere in the EU, if you remove that and it still works :) | 02:39 |
| incubii | oh it uses morphix | 02:39 |
| incubii | wel in that case i might go add to the love that is ubuntu live cd | 02:40 |
| incubii | :D | 02:40 |
| incubii | do you know if it includes a HDD installer? | 02:40 |
| Diablo-D3 | the cds come in a pair | 02:40 |
| Diablo-D3 | one is a live cd, the other is an installer | 02:40 |
| incubii | ill take that as no the live cd can not be installed from | 02:41 |
| Tm_T | propably not easily | 02:41 |
| KaiL | there's a todo entry for that somewhere in the UDO-wiki :) | 02:41 |
| incubii | installing from a live cd is pretty easy | 02:42 |
| Diablo-D3 | incubii: installing the live cd is pretty silly | 02:42 |
| Diablo-D3 | its setup specifically to be a live cd | 02:42 |
| incubii | supporting multiple OS's makes it a lil more challenging | 02:42 |
| Tm_T | Diablo-D3: hmm, so why it can't include network installer? | 02:43 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: http://aseigo.bddf.ca/dms/2/181_dotKDEKubuntu.tar.gz <-- various ~/.kde tweakings | 02:43 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: including sidebars for file management and web browsing that may make more sense | 02:44 |
| incubii | have to wait till im at work again to download the live cd | 02:44 |
| Diablo-D3 | Tm_T: because you arent paying for the discs | 02:44 |
| Diablo-D3 | Mark is | 02:44 |
| Diablo-D3 | and mark says "HERE! HAVE TWO!" | 02:44 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: cool, will take a keek at it | 02:44 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: it would be nice to eventually set up gpg and kwallet for a user automagically =) | 02:44 |
| Tm_T | I say "gimme twenty!" | 02:44 |
| === aseigo_k drops and gives 20 | ||
| Tm_T | :) | 02:45 |
| Riddell | aseigo_k: yes, been thinking about that. do you think it's safe/possible to use the system password? | 02:45 |
| KaiL | Mark should spend me a testing PC :) | 02:47 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: yes, i think it is.. | 02:47 |
| KaiL | maybe a i915 based laptop, they are really hard nuts *gg* | 02:47 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: of course, i'm the person who uses no password on kwallet ;) | 02:47 |
| aseigo_k | Riddell: but i don't see why the system password wouldn't be good enough for kwallet | 02:47 |
| === aseigo_k likes to piss off pmax =P | ||
| Diablo-D3 | what really sucks is I ordered one pair of ubuntu cds | 02:48 |

| aseigo_k | bluefish? uck. | 02:51 |
| KaiL | debian users are easy to catch :) | 02:51 |
| aseigo_k | Tm_T: i take it you really didn't like Quanta? | 02:52 |
| Tm_T | Debian <3 | 02:52 |
| Tm_T | aseigo_k: crashes too often | 02:52 |
| KaiL | ...as kubuntu is debian, a much enhanced debian | 02:52 |
| Diablo-D3 | well | 02:53 |
| Diablo-D3 | it _is_ debian | 02:53 |
| Tm_T | not really | 02:53 |
| Diablo-D3 | debian developers are all jumping ship for ubuntu | 02:53 |
| Tm_T | it is debian based | 02:53 |
| aseigo_k | Tm_T: using the GUI editor, or the regular editor, or previewing, or? | 02:53 |
| KaiL | quanta is slow+unstable, bluefish is gtk | 02:53 |
| Diablo-D3 | the only ones left are ones that we really dont want over here anyhow | 02:53 |

| === aseigo_k ponders what's different about the Quanta in kubuntu than the one he's used to then. =) | ||
| Tm_T | hm | 02:54 |
| KaiL | Diablo-D3: you think, (k)ubuntu will replace debian some day soon? | 02:54 |
| Diablo-D3 | KaiL: it pretty much already has | 02:54 |
| Tm_T | KaiL: gtk isnt that bad ;) | 02:54 |
| Tm_T | Diablo-D3: not really | 02:54 |
| Tm_T | in server use | 02:55 |
| KaiL | I don't know... | 02:55 |
| Diablo-D3 | more and more users are switching to ubuntu | 02:55 |
| Diablo-D3 | Tm_T: server use is a different market | 02:55 |
| Tm_T | yes :) | 02:55 |
| Diablo-D3 | so I'm not talking about them | 02:55 |
| Riddell | Diablo-D3: actually I've noticed more gentoo developers than debian developers | 02:55 |
| Diablo-D3 | and the server use market is totally fucked | 02:55 |
| === Tm_T will never use any other linux in his server | ||
| KaiL | for desktops yes, as debian is "outdated by design" | 02:55 |
| Diablo-D3 | like, take in the fact that a lot of companies _require_ vender support | 02:55 |
| Diablo-D3 | by require, I mean they must purchace a product. With money. | 02:56 |
| nmorse | I'd say as long as Ubuntu relies on Debian, it can't replace it | 02:56 |
| Diablo-D3 | You know, the idiot phbs who buy redhat | 02:56 |
| nmorse | Now they have Novell too | 02:56 |
| Diablo-D3 | so the server market probably will never be dominated by a real distro | 02:56 |
| === aseigo_k rolls his eyes | ||
| Diablo-D3 | so I'm just going to safely ignore servers | 02:56 |
| aseigo_k | i work with such people every day | 02:56 |
| aseigo_k | and there are real reasons why they do what they do | 02:57 |
| aseigo_k | it's not that they are stupid or incapable or any of those things | 02:57 |
| Diablo-D3 | aseigo_k: none of which I accept. | 02:57 |
| KaiL | at least in #ubuntu are 500 people, in #debian "only" 750 (they were ~1000 not far ago!) | 02:57 |
| aseigo_k | well, i suppose we each choose whether to accept reality or not. | 02:57 |
| Diablo-D3 | <phb> oh, but its great to have support! <bofh> You do realize that I know more than all of redhat combined, right? | 02:57 |
| aseigo_k | Tm_T: do you remember which actions caused crashes in quanta? | 02:57 |
| Diablo-D3 | So, its either a) buy support b) hire an onsite tech | 02:58 |
| aseigo_k | phb: yes, and when we can your ass over your shite attitude, we can replace you quite nicely | 02:58 |
| Tm_T | aseigo_k: I added some tags and then POW ;) | 02:58 |
| Diablo-D3 | bofh: *pushes phb out the window* | 02:58 |
| aseigo_k | Tm_T: crazy... | 02:58 |
| Tm_T | aseigo_k: you tell me =) | 02:58 |
| KaiL | nmorse: maybe deian will get reduced to sid - everything else is done by ubuntu and another such project for servers... | 02:58 |
| === darkaudit is jammin to: Patti Smith - Gloria 0:29/5:54 | ||
| nmorse | It would be neat, but Testing has a place | 02:59 |
| Diablo-D3 | btw, ubuntu may not kill debian | 02:59 |
| KaiL | Diablo-D3: as I said - replace... | 03:00 |
| Diablo-D3 | it may either swollow it, or reduce it to a server oriented debian-based distro | 03:00 |
| nmorse | I honestly think Debian will continue to survive for servers and as the father of Debian-derived distros | 03:00 |
| KaiL | debian will be some kind of "meta distribution" | 03:00 |
| nmorse | It already is a meta-distro with a bunch of sub-distros built in | 03:00 |
| nmorse | like debian jr. and debian-edu | 03:00 |
| KaiL | yes | 03:00 |
| Diablo-D3 | heh | 03:00 |
| Diablo-D3 | so what is ubuntu then? | 03:00 |
| Diablo-D3 | debian-desktop? | 03:00 |
| nmorse | A debian-derived distro | 03:01 |
| KaiL | yes :) | 03:01 |
| nmorse | A wholly separate project based on the original | 03:01 |
| KaiL | and there comes one point, which might be interesting for comercial vendors: | 03:01 |
| KaiL | all these distributions share one binary compatible package database! | 03:01 |
| KaiL | you can mix ubuntu and debian as much as you want, it'll never break | 03:03 |
| KaiL | ever tried that with suse + redhat? :) | 03:03 |
| Diablo-D3 | this is why I wish I could get rid of redhat and company | 03:03 |
| Diablo-D3 | yeah exactly | 03:03 |
| Diablo-D3 | rpm is a broken concept | 03:03 |
| KaiL | rpm is the hell itself | 03:03 |
| Diablo-D3 | apt-get/dpkg was almost designed for cool shit like this | 03:03 |
| nmorse | rpm is hell, but mixing Ubuntu and Debian packages can cause problems | 03:03 |
| Diablo-D3 | I dare you to try apt-get... rpm-get... rpm-whatever upgrade to suse from redhat | 03:03 |
| nmorse | I once "upgraded" Linspire to Debian to see if it could be done | 03:04 |
| nmorse | After all, they're apt packages, right? Took 3 hours to sort out dependencies for KDE alone | 03:04 |
| Diablo-D3 | lol | 03:04 |
| nmorse | And Ubuntu's binaries are built separate from Debian's, so who knows what could happen | 03:04 |
| Diablo-D3 | sid -> ubuntu worked fine for me, btw | 03:04 |
| === StR_gt [~StR@216.230.136.242] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| StR_gt | Hi all | 03:05 |
| nmorse | Sid can go to anything quite easily, as can any whole conversion | 03:05 |
| nmorse | It's partial mixing that produces problems | 03:05 |
| nmorse | And apt-pinning is only a partial solution | 03:05 |
| Tm_T | hmm | 03:05 |
| StR_gt | anyone else having problems with amarok with the the playlist of internet radios? | 03:05 |
| Tm_T | I think Debian stable has it's place | 03:05 |
| Tm_T | why all my friends are offline :/ | 03:06 |
| Tm_T | must be the time of day or something | 03:07 |
| KaiL | nmorse: problems like "apps doesn't work, because libs are missing"? | 03:08 |
| KaiL | anybody ever tried "synce-kde" in reallife? | 03:08 |
| KaiL | nmorse: and? | 03:08 |
| StR_gt | synce? | 03:08 |
| KaiL | *dang* hmm, someone sits on my line | 03:09 |
| KaiL | to much MS around? ;) | 03:09 |
| KaiL | Diablo-D3: sarge -> ubuntu worked well here too | 03:09 |
| KaiL | I have downgraded some packages manually to have "a real ubuntu" :) | 03:09 |
| Diablo-D3 | and aseigo's setup worked afaik | 03:09 |
| KaiL | StR_gt: windows ce connectivity | 03:09 |
| Diablo-D3 | yeah, Im not too worried about downgrading | 03:09 |
| Tm_T | :) | 03:09 |
| KaiL | Diablo-D3: does sudo work for you? | 03:09 |
| Diablo-D3 | yes | 03:10 |
| KaiL | including asking for a password... | 03:10 |
| Diablo-D3 | but its not setup from ubuntu | 03:10 |
| KaiL | it didn't ask here the first time... | 03:10 |
| Diablo-D3 | so my sudo is passowrdless, and I still have root. | 03:10 |
| KaiL | I have root and a sudo asking for a PW :) | 03:11 |
| Diablo-D3 | probably because your sudo isnt setup correctly | 03:11 |
| KaiL | hm? | 03:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | add yourself to /etc/sudoers | 03:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL | 03:12 |
| KaiL | it behaves the same as in a "real" kubuntu | 03:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | and you need to do this with visudo | 03:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | well, you're the one bitching about the password =P | 03:12 |
| KaiL | you missunderstood me | 03:13 |

| === narg [~narg@dsl-65-171-97-106.tcq.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| whiskers | kkathman, unfortunately it appears to be gstreamer plugins and stuff that need to be recompiled with the latest codec libraries | 03:19 |
| whiskers | kkathman, totem-xine is synching quite well | 03:19 |
| whiskers | kkathman, but totem-gstreamer seems to be the problem | 03:20 |
| closure | MPlayer > xine | 03:20 |
| closure | definitely totem-xine | 03:21 |
| whiskers | closure, yes MPlayer syncs very well also...but kkathman doesn't have it | 03:21 |
| closure | well ditch totem and get MPlayer | 03:21 |
| closure | and XMMS | 03:21 |
| closure | that is all you will need for a well rounded balanced media diet >8-) | 03:21 |
| whiskers | closure, i wasted several days working on the wrong stuff when it was the gstreamer stuff that needs to be updated against the latest libraries | 03:22 |
| closure | i don't *think* either of those apps rely on gstreamer | 03:22 |
| whiskers | closure, well totem relies on the gstreamer plugins | 03:22 |
| closure | they both worked "right out of the box" | 03:22 |
| whiskers | closure, the whole gstreamer needs to be recompiled | 03:23 |
| closure | right so why use an app that requires random ass plugins | 03:23 |
| closure | why not use a minimalist approach? | 03:25 |
| whiskers | closure, well it took time to find the problem because there were many variables involved....and i just assumed totem-gstreamer was working | 03:28 |
| whiskers | closure, i made a bad assumption | 03:28 |
| Cowlike-away | random ass plugins? i'd think any sort of ass plugin would be bad | 03:29 |

| cartel_ | closure: aurora :o | 03:31 |
| whiskers | closure, i think totem-gstreamer can work but the entire gstreamer system with plugins,etc...needs to be recompiled against the latest ogg, vorbis, theora libraries...as well as some of the other codecs which are not synching either | 03:31 |
| closure | whiskers, i'm sure it can work | 03:32 |
| closure | whiskers, i just don't understand why it was decided to use such dependent apps | 03:32 |
| whiskers | closure, well because they came installed on hoary | 03:32 |

| chavo | afterstep, now that's oldschool. | 03:35 |
| Chin2 | I can't select "enlightenment" at login, I have to go through windowmaker to start it. | 03:35 |
| Chin2 | not sure if that's how it has to be. | 03:35 |
| closure | chavo, for real but i want to see if it would just crash or run like lightning | 03:35 |
| Chin2 | I have afterstep installed too, it's very fast :) | 03:36 |
| chavo | closure, afterstep still works | 03:36 |
| closure | Chin2, did you compile from source or use a pkg | 03:36 |
| closure | is there an afterstep pkg? | 03:36 |

| Chin2 | closure, sorry, referring to all the dark themes for enlightenment | 03:44 |
| whiskers | in my opinion ubuntu needs to get breezy out with lidb4.3 and the correct libc...for the database stuff...and get all the gstreamer stuff recompiled against the latest codecs....and then start people designing on a decent system | 03:45 |
| whiskers | and drop hoary very fast | 03:45 |

| SpookyET | weird | 03:51 |
| Tm_T | not at all | 03:51 |

| sproingie | got a lil' too close i guess | 04:27 |
| cartel_ | ahh yep | 04:27 |
| sproingie | killed the pilot | 04:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | so.. it was an accident? | 04:27 |
| sproingie | unless the chinese military doctrine includes kamikaze attacks, yes | 04:27 |
| cartel_ | chinese military doctrine is geurilla warfare | 04:28 |
| Diablo-D3 | chinese military doctrine is do anything to win | 04:28 |
| sproingie | cartel_: guerilla warfare, not even. more like massive force, russian style | 04:28 |

| SpookyEt | f22 is useless anyway | 04:35 |
| === Diablo-D3 doesnt have any on hand | ||
| Diablo-D3 | SpookyEt: not quite | 04:35 |
| SpookyEt | it was designed in th 80s to fight the soviets | 04:35 |
| SpookyEt | it's got no function now | 04:35 |
| Diablo-D3 | it fills the gap the f15 will leave once its taken out of service | 04:35 |
| SpookyEt | waste of money | 04:35 |
| Diablo-D3 | no, SpookyEt | 04:35 |
| Diablo-D3 | the f15 was designed in the 80s | 04:35 |
| SpookyEt | do you have any idea how expensive it is? | 04:35 |
| Diablo-D3 | (they're about 15 years old now) | 04:35 |
| Diablo-D3 | yes, roughly $84 million a plane | 04:36 |
| SpookyEt | i know that the f117 and b2 are flying bricks | 04:36 |
| SpookyEt | show me a pic of the cockpit | 04:36 |
| Diablo-D3 | if the f15 was new, it'd be on the scale of around $200 million a plane | 04:36 |
| Diablo-D3 | like I said, I have no pics on hand | 04:36 |
| SpookyEt | the pilots said that a dude that can fly a cesna can fly the f22 | 04:38 |

| === buz [~buz@217-162-134-214.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| whiskers | Riddell, it is not my website...but it is about 7 minutes of material to examine for improving the code.....the file is about 100megs | 08:46 |
| whiskers | Riddell, of course don't expect commercial type results...but i think you will see that the free codecs can be useful to the free software community | 08:46 |
| Riddell | 100megs! don't think I'll download that given the price of internet here | 08:49 |
| Riddell | isn't there a different extention for ogg video. .ogm or something | 08:50 |
| whiskers | Riddell, no..ogm use vorbis with the commercial mpeg4....and is not free....ogg is a full theora,vorbis combination of free codecs. | 08:52 |
| whiskers | Riddell, so there is a huge difference as far as the laws in the US goes. | 08:52 |
| whiskers | for those with a true free software spirit...i think they would like to examine it. | 08:53 |
| Riddell | mpeg4 in ogg, interesting | 08:54 |
| Riddell | the ogg video streaming we had at akademy was fantastic | 08:54 |

| Neil3 | hmmz | 09:55 |
| Neil3 | i think i'll hold back on the update till the packages are fixed | 09:55 |
| Neil3 | its only a small security fix afaik | 09:55 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | not like you need it anyway | 09:55 |
| Neil3 | ya | 09:55 |
| Neil3 | i just like being up to date though | 09:56 |
| Neil3 | there is a patch for kaffine though which fixes its buggyness | 09:56 |

| Neil3 | i switched from the gnome version of ubuntu so i'm still getting used to the kde way of doing stuff | 09:56 |
| Neil3 | looking for a native kde bit torrent client now | 09:57 |
| Neil3 | most seem to be gtk | 09:57 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | so you upgraded ubuntu to kubuntu? | 09:57 |
| Neil3 | nope | 09:57 |
| Neil3 | did a clean install | 09:57 |
| spiral | hi | 09:57 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | hi | 09:57 |
| spiral | Neil3: qtorrent or smth like this ? | 09:57 |
| Neil3 | cool | 09:57 |
| Neil3 | i'll have a look for em | 09:57 |
| spiral | Neil3: :-) | 09:58 |
| Neil3 | thanks spiral installing now | 09:58 |
| Neil3 | i'm liking kde over gnome more and more | 09:58 |
| spiral | Neil3: I agree with you on this point :-) | 09:58 |
| Quinn_Storm | <3 kde | 09:58 |
| Neil3 | yeah | 09:59 |
| Neil3 | i was more into gnome because my only kde experience was with mandrake a couple of years ago | 09:59 |
| Neil3 | but kde seems way more responsive and faster and better integrated i really like what the kubuntu team did with it | 09:59 |
| Quinn_Storm | I've never even gotten mdk to install let alone tried their kde | 10:00 |
| Neil3 | yeah i didnt like mdk | 10:00 |
| Neil3 | but it was when i decided to go all out linux on my desktop having had brief flirtations with knoppix and stuff so i was still quite new | 10:01 |
| Quinn_Storm | yeah, many many years ago my first linux distro (d/l in honest-to-goodness disk sets via a dial-up aol connection) was slackware | 10:01 |
| Neil3 | hehe | 10:02 |
| Neil3 | my first try was with red hat 5.2 | 10:02 |
| Neil3 | and fvwm! | 10:02 |
| Quinn_Storm | I remember fvwm | 10:02 |
| Quinn_Storm | not fondly | 10:02 |
| Neil3 | yeah it was just an ugly blocky thing | 10:02 |
| Neil3 | but so was windows 95 at the time | 10:02 |
| Quinn_Storm | I remember kde 2 | 10:02 |
| Quinn_Storm | now that was a nice thing for the time | 10:03 |
| Neil3 | i think i got kde1 on a magazine cover disk and somehow managed to install it | 10:03 |
| Quinn_Storm | right around the launch of win 95 if I remember...or maybe it was kde 1 though I think it was 2 | 10:03 |
| Quinn_Storm | I can't remember clearly when what happened | 10:03 |

| Neil3 | yeah | 10:03 |
| Neil3 | good stuff though | 10:03 |
| Quinn_Storm | yeah | 10:04 |
| Neil3 | hm are there any kde based p2p apps? | 10:04 |
| Quinn_Storm | I use apollon | 10:04 |
| Quinn_Storm | but you need to do a little setup with it | 10:04 |
| Quinn_Storm | its not all gui setup unfortunately | 10:04 |
| Quinn_Storm | I've heard about a kde ed2k client too | 10:04 |
| Neil3 | dang | 10:04 |
| Neil3 | yeah something for gnutella and maybe ed2k would be neat | 10:05 |
| Quinn_Storm | well apollon is gnutella, openft, and if you can find it, ft | 10:05 |
| Neil3 | ok | 10:05 |
| Neil3 | might give it a go | 10:05 |
| Neil3 | how complex is the setup? just a case of editing a config file? | 10:05 |
| Quinn_Storm | Neil3: its a case of running gift-setup and answering its questions | 10:06 |
| Neil3 | konversation is a nice irc client too although i cant find any way to get the tabs going vertical | 10:06 |
| Quinn_Storm | thats a great argument for something I was discussing with someone earlier...they were trying to say essentially "configurability is bad" especially when its a "well I don 't see why anyone would want that" case (like I never would have expected someone to want vertical irc tabs) | 10:07 |
| Neil3 | really? | 10:08 |
| Neil3 | i actually prefer it | 10:08 |
| Neil3 | i can fit more channels in | 10:08 |
| Quinn_Storm | yeah it makes sense that way, I just wouldn't have thought of it | 10:08 |
| Neil3 | works a lot better for me i'm used to it in xchat | 10:08 |
| Quinn_Storm | I tend to use alt+left&right to switch channels | 10:08 |
| Quinn_Storm | thats the default key combo for konvi | 10:08 |
| Neil3 | sweet thats ok | 10:08 |
| Quinn_Storm | all those shortcuts are configurable in almost every kde app | 10:09 |
| Quinn_Storm | configurability is kde's biggest strength over gnome & other de's | 10:09 |
| Quinn_Storm | oh and if you use konqueror and want middle-click to close tabs, let me know and I'll dig up the hidden config setting for that | 10:09 |
| Neil3 | cheers but thats not bothering me yet! | 10:10 |
| Neil3 | only thing with konqueror is if i have it open on a web site and i then open my home folder from the panel, it opens in a new tab rather than its own window with the sidebar which i like for file management | 10:10 |
| Quinn_Storm | ah, if you want to toggle the sidebar, push F9 | 10:11 |
| Quinn_Storm | that -should- be in the menus somewhere but doesn't seem to be, though as usual you can configure the key | 10:11 |
| Neil3 | damn | 10:24 |

| Neil3 | woohoo all good | 10:27 |
| Neil3 | yeah i misread it thought it'd not work if it was non 0 | 10:27 |
| Neil3 | hah | 10:27 |
| Neil3 | all is well | 10:27 |
| Quinn_Storm | I figure you have gnutella & openft plugins for gift then? | 10:28 |
| Neil3 | openft has a lot of users | 10:28 |
| Neil3 | yep | 10:28 |
| Neil3 | enabled both | 10:28 |
| Quinn_Storm | yeah, openft only sometimes returns matches though | 10:28 |
| Quinn_Storm | its like...really not great | 10:28 |

| Neil3 | looks nice though | 10:29 |
| Neil3 | yeah | 10:29 |
| Quinn_Storm | yeah apollon is pretty nice, its running on my right monitor right now | 10:29 |
| Neil3 | :) | 10:29 |
| Neil3 | i might get round to recompiling k3b for mp3 burning | 10:29 |
| Quinn_Storm | thats pretty easy since you can do it "the debian way" (there's a kubuntu wiki about it) | 10:29 |
| Neil3 | yeah i read that | 10:30 |
| Quinn_Storm | oh and if you use amarok you'll want to recompile libtunepimp-bin for mp3 as well so you can do musicbrainz-tagging properly on mp3s | 10:30 |
| Neil3 | just don't really like bodging stuff | 10:30 |
| Quinn_Storm | well at least that way there's a debian package connected to it | 10:30 |
| Neil3 | but yeah | 10:30 |
| Quinn_Storm | and you just put a hold on it in your manager (I mostly use aptitude, synaptic kynaptic and kpackage just don't seem great to me) | 10:31 |
| Neil3 | i'm trying to avoid gtk at all costs | 10:31 |
| Neil3 | stuck with kynaptic at the moment | 10:31 |
| Quinn_Storm | well aptitude is a console app | 10:31 |
| Quinn_Storm | its not bad | 10:31 |
| Quinn_Storm | I personally can't quite shun gtk, gaim is just too good and kopete is just too bad | 10:32 |
| Neil3 | just need to get samba sorted and i think that's it | 10:32 |
| Neil3 | yeah gaim is nice | 10:32 |
| Neil3 | kopete is ok | 10:32 |
| Quinn_Storm | I even did some patch work on kopete (they haven't comitted it yet b/c they have a lot of stuff they are doing) but for now gaim is just more functional | 10:33 |
| Neil3 | cool | 10:33 |
| Neil3 | i only use it on msn | 10:33 |
| Quinn_Storm | yeah thats the one protocol kopete is good at | 10:33 |

| verden01 | yeah i don't know why it di dthat | 01:35 |
| roel_s | that's a bit swap - how much RAM did you conigure? | 01:35 |
| roel_s | big swap... i mean | 01:35 |
| verden01 | in vmware? | 01:35 |
| roel_s | yep | 01:36 |
| verden01 | 800mb | 01:36 |

| roel_s | hm - then i don't know why (k)ubuntu uses so much swap... | 01:37 |
| Ins|de | sorry, my english is not the better :\ | 01:37 |
| verden01 | i have 1GB ram on my computer | 01:37 |
| verden01 | 2 x 512 | 01:37 |
| verden01 | and kubuntu gave me a 3.1 GB swap | 01:38 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | its a 160 gb hdd. couldnt think of anything else to put there i expect | 01:38 |
| roel_s | It ought to set it to 2 G max - but then again, 3 G is not a problem. Just a waste of space | 01:38 |
| verden01 | i suppose | 01:38 |

| Choubaka | I've never needed swap with 512MB | 01:41 |
| verden01 | anyway i guess i'll never use hardly any space | 01:41 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | choubaka. i use my swap | 01:41 |
| Choubaka | of course, if you want suspend and stuff like that you need swap | 01:41 |
| ian|static | Riddell: thanks :) | 01:41 |
| roel_s | exactly | 01:42 |
| Choubaka | Kamping_Kaiser: what are the cases where you need it? :p | 01:42 |
| BlackLabel | what does swap do anyway | 01:43 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | i run apache, multiple users (ssh only) | 01:43 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | and half a dozen toher servers | 01:43 |
| BlackLabel | is it like virtual memory? | 01:43 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | yes | 01:43 |
| Choubaka | Kamping_Kaiser: ahaa | 01:43 |
| Choubaka | Well, servers need swap | 01:44 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | yes. :) | 01:44 |
| Choubaka | but not desktops :/ | 01:44 |
| roel_s | e.g. if you run out RAM-space, swap takes over | 01:44 |
| Choubaka | not often at least. | 01:44 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | not a standard desktop anyway. unless you start doing things through wine/cedega | 01:44 |
| Choubaka | that is, unless you do video editing with less than 2GB ram or something. | 01:44 |
| Choubaka | Kamping_Kaiser: I can play games too fine without swap :) | 01:44 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | :) if you have no swap and runs out of room, the system uses /tmp space its cool | 01:45 |
| Choubaka | someday we won't need any swap! | 01:46 |
| Choubaka | We'll have a dozen GBs of persistent RAM | 01:46 |
| BlackLabel | does mac os x use swap? | 01:46 |
| roel_s | Let's swap it! | 01:46 |
| roel_s | One day we won't need harddisks... | 01:47 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | lol | 01:47 |
| Choubaka | yeah. We mirror data on the internet :P | 01:47 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | blacklabel. i think so | 01:47 |

| thoreauputic | It runs at native speed as far as I can tell | 01:54 |
| BlackLabel | it has to be run using kubuntu-ppc eh? | 01:55 |

| kamz | roel_s: firefox seems to have too many gnome/gtk dependencies, i was trying to avoid it | 01:57 |
| roel_s | kamz, I had a lot of problems with it too - until I started using firefox with kaffeine | 01:57 |
| BlackLabel | my hdd in my amd 2400 laptop died and i was thinking of only install kubuntu to it, but i dunno if my apps will work properly on it | 01:57 |

| roel_s | know what you mean... however, it's a damn fine browser | 01:57 |

| kamz | i actually prefer firefox, but i liked the idea of having a clean kde/qt system | 01:58 |

| roel_s | funny, me too - but I'm afraid that's not possible | 01:59 |

| verden01 | if i do the new upgrade for kdelibs etc does it stuff up my kubuntu deskltop? | 02:13 |
| Anlar | shouldn't do that. | 02:14 |
| verden01 | k :) | 02:14 |
| Cowlike | verden01, it did mess mine up. I don't know the "right" way to fix that but I ended up removing ~/.kde to fix it | 02:14 |
| Cowlike | everything on the panel was gone, even the "K" button | 02:15 |
| Neil3 | it messed up mine too | 02:15 |
| Cowlike | i removed ~/.kde and restarted X | 02:15 |
| verden01 | i have done a ne winstall but it stuffed mine up as well | 02:15 |
| verden01 | Cowlike, did your desktop return to normal after you deleted ~/ .kde? | 02:16 |
| Cowlike | yes, it did | 02:16 |
| Cowlike | after the X restart | 02:16 |
| verden01 | cool | 02:16 |
| verden01 | i might do the upgrade then | 02:17 |
| Cowlike | I was pissed that I might have to end up doing a reinstall so I just tried it, figuring that it might be a conflict between versions with the config data in .kde | 02:17 |
| Cowlike | seemed to work | 02:17 |
| verden01 | :) | 02:17 |
| Cowlike | well... it DID work | 02:17 |
| Cowlike | actually, I renamed it, just in case :) | 02:18 |
| Cowlike | it just got recreated and everything was fine | 02:18 |
| verden01 | have you done another update and upgrade since? | 02:18 |
| Cowlike | yes | 02:18 |
| Cowlike | see that script in the title of this channel? | 02:18 |

| da_bon_bon | Riddell: saw the screen shot ? | 04:10 |
| sproingie | i think battletech sort of lost its way with the clan invasion | 04:10 |
| Riddell | da_bon_bon: of the website? | 04:10 |
| sproingie | mechs were supposed to be cargo cult technology, no one could build them, just salvage them | 04:10 |
| da_bon_bon | Riddell: of the os selection menu in reboot | 04:10 |
| Diablo-D3 | no, it lost its way when they got sued, sued, sued and then bought out | 04:10 |

| da_bon_bon | Riddell: oh ok.. someone told me its a new feature of kdm or something | 04:11 |
| amichai | which was my previous one, any ideas? | 04:11 |
| sproingie | i used to play a cross between battletech and ogre. mecha make sense when you think of 'em as having to withstand nuclear blasts every few minutes | 04:11 |
| Diablo-D3 | hehe | 04:11 |
| sproingie | basically walking GEV's | 04:12 |
| amichai | how i choose which kernel to use? i have two | 04:12 |
| sproingie | amichai: does it show up in grub? | 04:13 |
| chavo | amichai, the newest one you installed will become the default, the next time you reboot. | 04:13 |
| amichai | chavo, it didnt though. | 04:14 |

| Diablo-D3 | hrm | 06:37 |
| Diablo-D3 | whats the official kde media player in kubuntu? | 06:37 |
| theD3viL | hm | 06:37 |
| kkathman | hmmm Kaffeine? | 06:37 |
| theD3viL | yes. | 06:37 |
| Diablo-D3 | I mean like xmms type media players | 06:37 |
| kkathman | KScd? | 06:38 |
| Chin2 | I use xmms or amaroK | 06:38 |
| Diablo-D3 | I'm trying to ditch xmms | 06:38 |
| kkathman | there are several distributed standardly | 06:38 |
| Diablo-D3 | thats retarded | 06:39 |
| theD3viL | Diablo-D3: can i use ALSA in amaroK ? | 06:39 |
| === Diablo-D3 thinks kde needs one single media player | ||
| kkathman | gotta watch kaffeine tho, it stays around even after you close it..you have to pkill it | 06:39 |
| Diablo-D3 | probably | 06:39 |
| Chin2 | I'm using ALSA in amaroK | 06:39 |
| Diablo-D3 | it supports gstreamer | 06:39 |
| kkathman | amarok is good for mp3s etc | 06:39 |
| theD3viL | Chin2: how you install it? | 06:39 |
| Diablo-D3 | anything that uses gstreamer supports everything | 06:39 |
| Chin2 | synaptic? | 06:40 |
| theD3viL | k | 06:40 |
| === Diablo-D3 is trying amarok first, btw | ||
| === Chin2 is confused by two very similar nicks with D3 in them | ||
| Diablo-D3 | yeah, theD3viL needs to change his nick | 06:40 |
| kkathman | you can do an apt-get on alsaplayer too if you want | 06:41 |
| theD3viL | :> | 06:41 |
| kkathman | if you want the base config files...the package is alsa-base | 06:41 |
| kkathman | or gstreamer0.8-alsa isn the plugin | 06:42 |
| theD3viL | alsaplayer-alsa ? | 06:42 |
| Chin2 | I was just listening to a netlabel release in amaroK...it somehow managed to download the cover artwork! | 06:42 |
| Chin2 | amazing... | 06:42 |
| kkathman | Chin2: yeh...seen that..that IS nice | 06:42 |
| Chin2 | it's such an obscure tune, too | 06:43 |
| === Chin2 sheds a few tears of joy | ||
| Chin2 | and *how* it manages to recommend tunes that are just right is beyond me | 06:44 |
| kkathman | the new libclairvoyant module | 06:44 |
| Diablo-D3 | oh thats just easy | 06:44 |
| Chin2 | he he | 06:44 |
| Diablo-D3 | it uses music brainz | 06:44 |
| Chin2 | oh, that's what that brain thing is | 06:45 |
| theD3viL | can anybody play 2 sounds at same time? i cant :( | 06:45 |
| Diablo-D3 | I can | 06:45 |
| theD3viL | how is that impossible ? | 06:45 |
| Diablo-D3 | but then again, I have stuff setup properly to do so | 06:45 |
| Chin2 | yeah, I can too | 06:45 |
| theD3viL | how?? | 06:45 |
| Chin2 | I don't know, alright? I just press stuff :) | 06:46 |
| Diablo-D3 | well, you have three choices | 06:46 |
| Chin2 | he he | 06:46 |
| Chin2 | check your control center settings | 06:46 |
| Diablo-D3 | one is use arts for everything | 06:46 |
| Diablo-D3 | two is use dmix | 06:46 |
| Diablo-D3 | three is get a soundcard that natively multiplexes | 06:46 |
| === Chin2 is enjoying Enlightenment so far | ||
| theD3viL | hm... i havent got arts in my control centre.. i have only ALSA, OSS etc. | 06:47 |

| Chin2 | theD3viL, what audio device are you using (control center)? | 06:49 |
| Diablo-D3 | _what_ control center? | 06:49 |
| theD3viL | ALSA | 06:49 |
| Diablo-D3 | you mean kcontrol? | 06:49 |
| theD3viL | chin2: ALSA | 06:49 |
| Chin2 | ok | 06:49 |
| theD3viL | Diablo-D3: yes, | 06:49 |
| Chin2 | Diablo, it's called control center here, are you using KDE 3.3 or something? | 06:49 |
| Diablo-D3 | theD3viL: the sound control panel tells arts what to use | 06:49 |
| Diablo-D3 | theD3viL: then you tell all other apps to use arts for output | 06:50 |
| theD3viL | aha... | 06:50 |
| Chin2 | shouldn't that be autoconfigured in most cases anyway? | 06:50 |
| Diablo-D3 | Chin2: yes, it should | 06:50 |
| Chin2 | hey, is there an easy way to figure out what app is hogging my CPU? | 06:52 |
| Diablo-D3 | top | 06:53 |
| theD3viL | ALSA device "default" is used by another app.... wtf ? | 06:53 |
| Chin2 | whoa...Diablo-D3, that is cool | 06:54 |
| Diablo-D3 | you can use > and < to change what column its sorted by | 06:54 |
| Chin2 | darn artsd! | 06:54 |
| Chin2 | Diablo-D3, how do you know which column it's sorting by? | 06:55 |
| Diablo-D3 | I have mine autobold | 06:56 |
| Chin2 | how do you do that? | 06:56 |
| Diablo-D3 | um | 06:57 |
| Diablo-D3 | I forget actually | 06:57 |
| Chin2 | that's okay | 06:57 |
| Diablo-D3 | ahh press B | 06:57 |
| Chin2 | cool, thanks | 06:58 |
| Chin2 | dang, I'll bet there are a ton of cool commands like 'top' that I don't even know about :) | 07:00 |

| Diablo-D3 | kubuntu is officially on my shitlist | 10:42 |
| Quinn_Storm | Diablo-D3: why? | 10:43 |
| Diablo-D3 | because it packages the arts engine for amarok | 10:43 |
| Diablo-D3 | and it allows it to be installed | 10:43 |
| Anlar | it's gooood. | 10:43 |
| Diablo-D3 | its not good | 10:43 |
| Quinn_Storm | Diablo-D3: there's a glitch in the released version of amarok where it will show a blank string instead of the name of the current engine when it starts up | 10:43 |
| Diablo-D3 | the arts engine _does not work_ | 10:44 |
| Diablo-D3 | it is _unmaintained_ | 10:44 |
| Anlar | funny, I am using arts engine all the time and it works beautifully. even at this very moment. :) | 10:44 |
| Quinn_Storm | Diablo-D3: then install one of the other three | 10:44 |

| Diablo-D3 | Quinn_Storm: I may hate xmms, but it atleast works out of the fucking box and plays mp3s | 10:46 |

| closure | Tm_T, *cheers to another sleepless night* | 01:00 |
| voradams | yep | 01:00 |
| verden01 | well there's no need to install kubuntu | 01:00 |
| verden01 | does ubuntu with kde-desktop run ok? | 01:00 |
| Choubaka | sure it does. | 01:00 |
| === darkaudi1 is now known as darkaudit | ||

| verden01 | i know | 01:01 |
| Tm_T | closure: haha | 01:01 |

| verden01 | closure, did you ask me about PC-BSD? | 01:02 |
| Choubaka | I wish QT supported the features I require :/ | 01:03 |
| voradams | like what choubaka | 01:03 |
| carsten_ | qt == qt or quicktime, Choubaka | 01:03 |
| Choubaka | QT :P | 01:03 |
| Choubaka | well. Input modules. | 01:03 |
| Choubaka | I know there are patches, but they're patches :/ | 01:04 |
| Choubaka | and as long as they stay as patches outside the stable release, I consider them unsupported... Anyway, there are some QT apps I'll definitely start using after QT 4.0 is out :P | 01:05 |
| carsten_ | what is a "input model"? | 01:06 |
| voradams | what will happeb with kubutu when qt4 comes out? | 01:06 |
| Choubaka | carsten_: it allows me to switch between input methods on the fly. | 01:06 |
| Choubaka | voradams: what would happen? | 01:06 |
| closure | verden01, yes | 01:06 |
| closure | verden01, i asked you what speed computers you were running it on and what it ran like | 01:07 |
| Choubaka | if QT 4.0 comes out before Breezy, QT4 probably will be seen in it .P | 01:07 |
| carsten_ | voradams: kde 4.0 won't be out in 2005. So I guess: not to much. | 01:07 |
| Choubaka | right. | 01:07 |
| voradams | so no point release | 01:08 |
| Choubaka | So we might see it in Kubuntu 6.x? | 01:08 |
| voradams | that is 5.2.1 :-) | 01:08 |
| carsten_ | scribus will perhaps use 4.0 in 1.3. I don't think there are very much apps using qt 4.0 is out before kde 4.0 is out | 01:08 |
| carsten_ | very many evn | 01:08 |
| carsten_ | even even | 01:08 |
| voradams | with the propper kubunto, do the normal gnome apps get installed as well? | 01:13 |
| carsten_ | nope. | 01:14 |
| carsten_ | but of course you can do a "sudo apt-get install FOO" | 01:15 |
| membreya | whats a good network monitoring tool for KDE, ie one that alerts you when you're being scanned etc? | 01:15 |
| voradams | so foo will install it? cool! | 01:15 |
| carsten_ | "sudo apt-get install nautilus" for example, yes | 01:16 |
| voradams | oh, i thout foo was a meta package :-s | 01:17 |
| Choubaka | you can also install ubuntu-desktop :P | 01:18 |
| Choubaka | which'll bloat it a bit, but HD space is almost free nowadays | 01:19 |
| carsten_ | not in notebooks | 01:19 |
| verden01 | Choubaka, whats ubuntu-desktop like with kubuntu? | 01:21 |
| Choubaka | same as in ubuntu? | 01:21 |
| carsten_ | verden01: that is "all regular gnome-apps" | 01:21 |
| voradams | yeah, but kde + grome + os is still about 2gb | 01:21 |
| Choubaka | just as kubuntu-desktop in ubuntu is the same as in kubuntu :P | 01:22 |
| verden01 | how big is the download | 01:22 |
| verden01 | only an extra 88mb for me | 01:24 |
| Choubaka | Need to get 96.7MB/113MB of archives for kubuntu | 01:24 |
| Choubaka | though I already have some KDE libs installed. | 01:25 |
| voradams | is there a kde theme package? | 01:25 |
| Choubaka | you can install kubuntu using ubuntu's install media and vice versa :) | 01:25 |
| carsten_ | voradams: you can theme a lot things, splashscreen and such | 01:25 |
| verden01 | and when its installed it will use an extra 422mb of additional space | 01:25 |
| Choubaka | in fact, I installed ubuntu using Debian's install media :D | 01:25 |

| Choubaka | right. | 02:55 |
| Cowlike | Far|Side, in the time it took to discuss it here, you could already have displayed it in an X Windows, snapped it and had a png file | 02:56 |
| Choubaka | Far|Side: what ascii art utility are you using? | 02:57 |
| gdh | Besides didn't ANSI art go out of fashion with werewolf whistles and flared trousers? | 02:57 |
| Choubaka | you might try another one and see if that supports exporting. | 02:57 |
| Choubaka | apt finds cadubi and aewan at least | 02:58 |

| bubi | coz ive had problems with sudden reboots | 03:02 |

| Choubaka | there's this utility called java-package | 03:02 |
| da_bon_bon | wtf ? uhelper aint here! | 03:02 |
| gdh | Cowlike: Feh. I mean as a .deb for Ubuntu not as a litter of /usr/local cruft | 03:02 |
| da_bon_bon | sHIT | 03:02 |
| Far|Side | well, aewan is a ascii art editor, not ansiart | 03:03 |

| da_bon_bon | bubi: join #ubuntu for a moment | 03:03 |
| bubi | ok | 03:03 |
| Cowlike | gdh, i'm joking. anyway it works great and has all the standard utils for development | 03:03 |
| gdh | =) | 03:03 |
| Cowlike | gdh, besides, it doesn't litter your disk with cruft, actually installs to a single directory... very easy to put wherever you like | 03:04 |
| gdh | k | 03:04 |
| Choubaka | but java-package is still better :P | 03:04 |

| whiskers | pussfeller, yes...just to keep linux legal in the US so everyone here can enjoy it without breaking the laws | 04:26 |
| pussfeller | i dont think its illegal to use docs in koffice | 04:27 |
| Aladdin- | I just switched to KDE using Synaptic. I have a problem. When I use a scroll bar (or even sometimes just happens in konsole) part of my screen goes white and I have to refresh the desktop. Got a clue? | 04:27 |
| Aladdin- | gdh, hi :o) lol | 04:27 |
| whiskers | pussfeller, well i just don't know...that DMCA and Patriot Act is rough stuff. | 04:28 |
| pussfeller | yes it is evil stuff | 04:28 |
| pussfeller | but reverse engineering is specifiaclly legal | 04:28 |

| kkathman | pussfeller I have just today consulted an attorney regarding these codecs and "patented" technologies, and got some interesting feedback from him | 04:29 |

| === ben is now known as Zurgy | ||
| kkathman | pussfeller: he is also doing some looking for me to get an official reading on use, but his initial comments were that that whole area was extremely up in the air legally, and that because of the widespread use of, say, MPEG within MPEG III, that its seriously close to public domain under the generic definitions of the law | 04:31 |
| whiskers | pussfeller, well we have no choice...the US laws are outrageous | 04:31 |
| kkathman | pussfeller: I will get back to you possibly today on that, and let you know...there is alot of "misinformation" being spread I think on these issues. | 04:31 |
| whiskers | kkathman, you better ask him about MPEG4...not 3....that is what most people are using | 04:32 |
| whiskers | kkathman, or else they are using WMV | 04:32 |
| whiskers | 9 | 04:32 |
| pussfeller | kkathman, so you are saying that if franhauffer tried to sue gentoo for using lame it in its official repostories, then they could credible argue its so widespread its defacto public domain | 04:33 |

| whiskers | pussfeller, you mean gentoo is shipping lame | 04:34 |
| whiskers | pussfeller, are they also shipping twolame | 04:34 |
| sdogi | i found out that gnome has such notifier by default, it would be really handy to have such things in kubuntu too | 04:34 |
| whiskers | pussfeller, you mean on their install cd | 04:34 |
| Aladdin- | gdh, got a minute? | 04:34 |
| pussfeller | whiskers, yes, you can emerge lame, mplayer, all the codecs, etx | 04:34 |
| kkathman | pussfeller many "patented" technologies lose their rights because of their inconsistent licensing practice as well as "common use" so, yes its very possible... A cursory search of the legal cases in LEXUS-NEXXUS shows that rulings have been inconsistent and very point-oriented | 04:34 |
| Zurgy | I downloaded the hoary 5.04 install CD and seem to have a cut-down KDE install. | 04:34 |
| schasi | Should onw really use that kdelibs-debug.sh script to fix the bug? | 04:35 |
| pussfeller | you can even emerge enemy territory, but thats a different tangent | 04:35 |
| whiskers | kkathman, hey forget MPEG3...ask him about MPEG4 and WMV | 04:35 |
| whiskers | 9 | 04:35 |
| whiskers | kkathman, see if the lawyer says these are public domain | 04:35 |
| pussfeller | i really hope ubuntu gets over this split repos thing | 04:35 |
| schasi | I really hope ubuntu gets a fixed kdelibs package | 04:36 |
| pussfeller | if its legal, ok, if its ideological, its not ok | 04:36 |
| kkathman | now you mention MPEG4, an extremely popular open source mimic of this is XviD | 04:36 |
| kkathman | its widely used in many industries including education | 04:36 |
| whiskers | kkathman, yes but is xvid legal or does it trample on divx | 04:37 |
| kkathman | yes xvid is open source | 04:37 |
| whiskers | kkathman, ask the lawyer and see what he thinks...but he probably doesn't speak for eveyone | 04:37 |

| pussfeller | its great to have freinds in moist, sticky places | 04:38 |
| whiskers | kkathman, i find that hard to believe...i think Hollywood said...well we suckered them out of all their money with VCR tapes...now how can we do it again with DVDs | 04:39 |
| kkathman | MPEG4 and ASF both remain patented technologies, and thus the owner of record does retain rights to that, since they spent their own time and resources paying people to develop it, its only fair under the law to protect their investment. | 04:39 |
| === sdogi [~sdogi@217-159-240-76-dsl.est.estpak.ee] has left #kubuntu [] | ||
| pussfeller | hollywood didn't say that till the vcr was taken to the supreme court | 04:39 |
| kkathman | pussfeller: its not Hollywood per se, its just basic copyright and patent law, which on the whole, in my opinion, is a good thing, but I do know that others disagree on this. | 04:40 |
| whiskers | kkathman, so the lawyers MPEG4 and ASF are off-limits...what about WMV9 | 04:41 |
| kkathman | But I believe in a free market, and the fact that competition drives innovation...at least in the current environment. | 04:41 |
| whiskers | kkathman, if MPEG4 and ASF are off-limits what does the lawyer say about WMV9 | 04:42 |
| pussfeller | i would probably argue that theres no room in a free market for govt protection of ideas.... | 04:42 |
| kkathman | I have asked him to check on all these codecs and their status | 04:42 |
| whiskers | kkathman, yes because it is a bunch of shit....Hollywood keeps changing the codecs and making people pay over and over and over again for the same movies | 04:43 |
| kkathman | pussfeller: I disagree, I believe that the government should protect MY right to do with my innovation as I see fit..If I choose to release my patent or copyrighted material (not ideas) into the public domain...thats my choice...I WANT that choice. The government cannot control "ideas" they cannot be patented | 04:43 |
| whiskers | kkathman, wrong...if you use GNU you are bound to release for free | 04:44 |
| whiskers | kkathman, otherwise go pay MS through the nose. | 04:44 |
| kkathman | there is a clear difference in the law between patents and copyrights, but they are similar in that the item must be tangible and able to be documented and demonstrated, in essence. | 04:44 |
| pussfeller | if you want to control innovations, you should not ever tell someone or share them | 04:45 |
| pussfeller | they are ideas, in the sense they have no physical form | 04:45 |
| kkathman | whiskers: Absolutely...if you want to subscribe to that philosophy, I am 100% for it. But, at the same time, the person that wants to financially gain from his or her innovation, should be allowed to do so whether you feel it morally upstanding or not. | 04:45 |
| kkathman | I am FOR that right going to the individual. | 04:46 |
| pussfeller | and i think if you look at the history of these things, very few innovators actually end up profiting from their innovations | 04:46 |
| pussfeller | but thats utilitarian arguement | 04:46 |
| whiskers | kkathman, well they can....some GNU people will release them from their GNU obligation if they fork over money instead...and MS will release them if they also fork over money | 04:46 |
| kkathman | you dont HAVE to patent or copyright your item or work | 04:46 |
| whiskers | kkathman, if for example you don't want to release your qt stuff for free...you can fork over lots and lots of money for qt commercial license instead of GNU obligation | 04:47 |
| kkathman | there has been a very large body of material done under free and open sourcing, i.e. the GNU Public License. This is very good and spurs on a community development that is responsive to the general need. | 04:47 |
| pussfeller | i think that owning an idea is just plain evil and has caused no end of trouble, and will probably be the death of linux and life as we now know it | 04:48 |
| kkathman | However, one cannot argue, that corporate development of software and innovations, even governmental sponsorship of same, isnt a good thing either. Just the strides made in health and medicine alone would support this argument. | 04:48 |
| whiskers | kkathman, and the same with MySQL...if you don't want to give up all your records and code enhancements for free...then you can pay MySQL lots and lots of money and they will release you from your GNU obligation | 04:49 |
| kkathman | pussfeller: again, be careful...you cannot patent or copyright an "idea"...only a tangible item or work. | 04:49 |
| pussfeller | kkathman, a song is an idea | 04:49 |
| pussfeller | it has no physical form | 04:49 |
| kkathman | pussfeller: oh yes it does...do you read notated music? | 04:50 |
| kkathman | you cannot copyright a musical composition without the music...written form..trust me I have several. | 04:50 |
| pussfeller | yes, but is an mp3 of my song the same as the wav? no physically, yet the law says they are | 04:51 |
| kkathman | you are correct that a song or an innovation begins with an idea...but thats NOT the registered agent. | 04:51 |
| pussfeller | so its the idea of the song that is protected by the govt, not they physical implementation | 04:51 |
| === bleertep [~bleertep1@port-212-202-0-200.dynamic.qsc.de] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| kkathman | pussfeller: no, you are wrong on that. Once the work is copyrighted, you are restricted to a license, if you own that CD, to yourself only. An MP3 can be made and can be placed on your computer or another CD for your personal use...but you cannot transfer that to another person, because that is prohibited. | 04:52 |
| pussfeller | yes exactly | 04:52 |
| kkathman | that infringes on the rights of the person that owns the work. | 04:53 |
| pussfeller | it infringes upon the law | 04:53 |
| kkathman | if I write a song and want to give it to you...at no charge, I can do that. | 04:53 |
| pussfeller | you don't have rights in my opiion to ideas | 04:53 |
| kkathman | and we both are not breaking the law | 04:53 |
| pussfeller | or to data | 04:53 |
| kkathman | and I can tell you "please pass that around"...and Im not breaking any laws | 04:53 |
| kkathman | but if I write something, and I CHOOSE to sell that to a distributor, they are the rightful owner, and thus that CHOICE now passes to them, not me. | 04:54 |
| pussfeller | im talking moral issues, the law has little to do with right and wrong, it is written by and for the entrenched interests who can afford to pay for govt proection that suits them | 04:54 |
| kkathman | so..it really all begins at the artist...if they want their work to be passed around...then they shouldnt sell the rights to others :) | 04:55 |
| whiskers | pussfeller, that is correct...why should the rich distributor have any say so over what the poor people do | 04:55 |
| kkathman | pussfeller: thats a bit of a socialist view of the law I think, but you are entitled to your opinion. | 04:55 |
| pussfeller | its not socialistic at all | 04:55 |
| pussfeller | not for a second | 04:55 |
| kkathman | whiskers: Well, like I said, blame the artist | 04:56 |
| kkathman | why are they not as responsible? | 04:56 |
| kkathman | they had a choice to sell to the distributor did they not? | 04:56 |
| kkathman | they didnt have to...but they wanted the fat money | 04:56 |
| pussfeller | its a fact that business uses the govt when they can't compete on a free market | 04:56 |
| kkathman | so its a trade off | 04:56 |
| kkathman | pussfeller: give an example please. | 04:57 |
| pussfeller | heh throw a rock man | 04:57 |
| pussfeller | take almost anything in the us... cars, produce, etc | 04:57 |
| whiskers | pussfeller, yes..there are many examples of corporate welfare...and the government giving away all the tax dollars to the rich corporations | 04:58 |
| pussfeller | all are made cheaper overseas, and yet the businesses lobby for tarrifs to keep them from competition | 04:58 |
| kkathman | in a free market society the owner of original material, whether it be music, software, or innovations SHOULD have the choice on having their stuff protected, so they can make a living. | 04:58 |
| kkathman | whiskers please give an example. | 04:58 |
| pussfeller | and, what is commonly considered consumer protection is ussually jsut a way of driving up the costs so only the entrenched players can play | 04:59 |
| whiskers | kkathman, well...that is easy....look at the corporate welfare boon of Iraq to Halliburton for example. | 04:59 |
| pussfeller | like, the controversy of VOip and 911 | 04:59 |

| kkathman | I think we are a little off the subject of copyrighted material arent we? | 05:00 |
| whiskers | kkathman, or look at the government's protection of the anti-competitive monopolies in spite of the antitrust laws | 05:00 |
| pussfeller | not really, it segues into it | 05:00 |
| kkathman | monopolies? | 05:00 |
| pussfeller | nost of those monoplies actually existed thru some form of control of a govt regulated interface | 05:01 |
| pussfeller | ie standard oils real power base was their control over train transportation | 05:01 |
| kkathman | hmmm, Im not so sure thats always true, or even partially true | 05:01 |
| pussfeller | which was all regulated by the govt | 05:01 |
| kkathman | historically I would say you are correct in the case of Standard Oil | 05:01 |
| pussfeller | MS monopoly on the other hand was more just being in the right place at the right time with the right product | 05:02 |
| pussfeller | and now their real power base is the computer manufacturers and their ubiqutousness of the products | 05:02 |
| kkathman | The problem we begin to run into is the delicate balance of economic stablity in many things when there are too drastic of a change made in the status quo...so I think that some governmental regulation, especially in the area of public health etc, is a good thing. | 05:03 |
| pussfeller | which will have to be backed up at some point by the govt protecting their IP, or else it will all eventually fall apart when credible alternatives (like linux) hit the market | 05:03 |
| pussfeller | kkathman, i bet you conseider yourself a conservative | 05:03 |
| kkathman | However, I believe that too much regulation is very bad...this is easily seen today, by the fact that we are basically unable to build new refineries here in the US, because the cost of environmental compliance is astronomical | 05:04 |
| pussfeller | you should read the history of the right.... the pre ww2 conservatives were very differnt than the present breed | 05:04 |
| kkathman | pussfeller: no, not particularly...I tend to be an independent ... I vote issues, not parties etc. | 05:04 |
| pussfeller | they were anti-war,and and very much anti-govt | 05:04 |
| kkathman | who isnt anti-war :) | 05:05 |
| pussfeller | todays conservatives sure aren't | 05:05 |
| kkathman | but that is a different discussion I suppose :) | 05:05 |

| kkathman | if you are passionate, raise the level of debate so that others are educated also, and always keep an open mind to new arguments :) | 05:08 |
| whiskers | kkathman, but don't think for one minute that "corporate welfare" doesn't exist....and that the government doesn't hand taxpayer dollars to the rich corporations instead of the poor | 05:08 |
| === NTolerance [~nt@www.carolinadigital.com] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| kkathman | hmm...well I would argue some of that especially if you investigate the current Fiscal budget. There is ALOT of money in the public domain...less lately because of both parties attempting to reign in deficits, which I hope gets under control soon | 05:10 |
| kkathman | that really is the bigger problem in my opinion | 05:10 |
| whiskers | kkathman, well...you don't need all those fancy words...just look around and see if any government agencies have handed MS or Apple money for a computer...instead of giving the tax dollars to the poor | 05:11 |
| kkathman | that and education....the educational system in our country is very sad and in need of major overhaul | 05:11 |
| kkathman | whiskers: you dont want the government to use computers? | 05:11 |
| whiskers | kkathman, i am sick of "corporate welfare" that should be going to the poor not the rich. | 05:12 |
| kkathman | I think maybe alot of people would be upset if they didnt :) | 05:12 |
| kkathman | how do you define corporate welfare? The government paying for corporations products? | 05:12 |
| Blissex | whiskers: 5% of voters provide 95% of campaign donations. Guess what happens... | 05:13 |
| kkathman | and, why do the poor need special treatment | 05:13 |
| whiskers | kkathman, damn right...handing over taxdollars to the rich instead of the poor | 05:13 |
| kkathman | well that is a normal by product of contemporary society, and has been for ... well as long as I can remember | 05:13 |
| kkathman | the alternative is socialism and Im not for that | 05:14 |
| Blissex | whiskers: the conservative take on that is: if the poor are so stupid not to understand how important it is to buy political favours, they get all they deserve. | 05:14 |
| kkathman | I dont buy political favors and Im not poor | 05:14 |
| kkathman | lol | 05:14 |
| kkathman | so your argument is inflammatory and unsubstantiated | 05:15 |
| whiskers | kkathman, that is the point...you are NOT POOR. | 05:16 |
| whiskers | kkathman, so there is no way in hell you are going to care about the poor....and you think just because you have money...they should all have money or else it is their fault | 05:17 |
| whiskers | kkathman, well you tell which of the poor is going to get enough money to open another Microsoft...or IBM...or ATT...or SWBELL | 05:18 |
| whiskers | kkathman, and have full ownership | 05:18 |
| kkathman | I think it unfair that you judge me without knowing me. That is your problem. You see people with money as evil. I dont. I gave a full 25% of my income last year to charity and similar organizations, so I would ask that you not judge me on your generalistic grounds. | 05:19 |
| whiskers | kkathman, i don't judge you...you said you were not poor....careless mistake | 05:19 |
| kkathman | By definition I am not below povery level. | 05:19 |
| kkathman | perhaps I am not using the same definition that you use for "poor" | 05:20 |
| kkathman | People make decisions in their life everyday that have consequences. People need to be taught to make better decisions and thus better consequences. In ANY society, there will be "poorer" But for instance, the person in the US that is at the poverty level is STILL in the top 25% of the worlds wealthy. | 05:21 |
| whiskers | kkathman, yea...right...in fact i knew many of them and they are not in the top25%...they are in the GRAVES. | 05:22 |
| kkathman | Thats something to think about, when we begin to police the cutting of foreign aid on the grounds that "we need to solve our own problems here at home". Where is the "idealisic" philosophy then? | 05:22 |
| kkathman | many are very quick to scream at corporations, but their taxes help pay for subsidies to the so-called "poor" that do nothing but sit around and dont even take advantage of free programs offered to them. I see this everyday in schools. | 05:23 |

| whiskers | GameCat, well i have heard that GNU plans to bankrupt him very soon.. | 05:56 |
| kkathman | Tm_T I look forward to that! | 05:56 |
| GameCat | whiskers: really? do tell... | 05:56 |
| whiskers | GameCat, well incubi says that if GNU starts sueing the shit out of these people...then they will listen | 05:57 |
| GameCat | suing for what? | 05:57 |
| whiskers | GameCat, for any attempt to make money off GNU property | 05:57 |
| GameCat | but that's not incompatible with the gpl - making money is allowed | 05:57 |
| GameCat | otherwise they'd be suing redhat | 05:57 |
| kkathman | correct GameCat | 05:58 |
| kkathman | you can sell "value add" | 05:58 |
| pussfeller | gnu isnt suing anybody | 05:58 |
| whiskers | GameCat, well RedHat has powerful resources that cause GNU to abstain for the moment | 05:58 |

| gunny | pussfeller, totally | 06:08 |
| kkathman | gunny: you cannot take something that has a GNU public license, then charge for that. But if you compile things, add to them and invest your resources on, say a distribution, then you can charge for that. Its all in the packaging. | 06:08 |
| reagleBRKLN | i'm trying to use smb4k to mount a smb share but it says "smbmnt must be installed suid root for direct user mounts (1000,1000)". also, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/DerootificationStatus makes me think suid is not needed? | 06:08 |
| gunny | Tivo must think making money is against GPL since they haven't sine it was started LOL | 06:08 |
| pussfeller | i could sell cd's of apache for a billion dollars on my site if I wanted too | 06:09 |
| gunny | kkathman, I understand that I was trying to understand what whiskers was selling | 06:09 |
| gunny | er saying | 06:09 |
| kkathman | pussfeller: thats true, as long as you put some sort of value add on the disk :) | 06:09 |
| pussfeller | personally autographed | 06:09 |
| astro76 | kkathman: that's not entirely accurate, added value is not a precondition, you could simpy charge to distribute source | 06:09 |
| astro76 | of course, who would pay for it | 06:10 |

| whiskers | you have to understand GNU would like to have a piece of RedHat's ass...they have millions that they could give GNU....but they are very powerful and have powerful alliances...so GNU simply has to abstain for the moment...and also SUSE is in a foreign country and their government doesn't give a shit what GNU thinks | 06:29 |
| gdh | The GPL does not stop you selling GPL'd code. The market will stop you from being successful at it. | 06:29 |
| kkathman | gdh: precisely | 06:30 |
| kkathman | this again gets back to choice. People that write code and choose NOT to copyright, turn over that right legally, as gdh insinuates. | 06:31 |
| kkathman | its a conscious choice. | 06:31 |
| gdh | GPL protects your rights.. something like a BSD license allows commercial entities to legally modify your code and sell it, whilst not returning those changes to the source. | 06:32 |
| gdh | so the greater good does not benefit from the changes | 06:32 |

| kkathman | A lawyer passing on a sure thing?? heheh :: | 06:33 |
| whiskers | kkathman, well...GNU is letting it slide for now...since RedHat did give GNU quite a bit of money | 06:33 |
| whiskers | kkathman, but not near what they could get | 06:34 |
| gdh | Do you really believe stallman is interested in 'loads of money'? Would he have founded GNU in the first instance? | 06:35 |
| gdh | Would he preach about 'free as in freedom, not as in price' at every opportunity? | 06:35 |
| whiskers | gdh, well Stallman did accept a significant amount of money from RedHat | 06:35 |

| Almindor | huh? | 07:01 |
| Almindor | if I want to use "remote media" I have to go thru the system menu | 07:02 |
| Almindor | as for win32 | 07:02 |
| Almindor | it's in fstab | 07:02 |
| Almindor | I had cdroms "popup" shortly after install but it stopped for some reason :) | 07:03 |
| Almindor | but I can use them normaly if I go throught the "remote places" | 07:03 |

| === regeya [~shane@adsl-sp3-cdale176.micgi.com] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| kkathman | What comes into play here is the issue of "standards" which I completely ignored..and its a good thing to keep in mind. | 07:35 |
| kkathman | JPEG, AVI, MPEG and others are STANDARDS. The Standard is NOT owned, it is published and in the public domain. | 07:36 |
| kkathman | As such, anyone is free to create their own "codec" based on these standards, and in fact many exist both commerical and free. | 07:37 |
| === aladdin [~aladdin@HSE-QuebecCity-ppp3502217.sympatico.ca] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| kkathman | If you produce an original DVD with an MPEG codec, you do NOT need a license, but your viewer does. However, as I said, the codecs are readily available. Microsoft's MPEG codec is free of charge for instance, as are many. But there are others that are not. | 07:38 |
| kkathman | So it seems that the incumbancy in more on the viewer than the creator I suppose. | 07:38 |
| kkathman | I had one clarifying question that he hasnt responded back on...having to do with incumbancy of right when you use a software package that creates original content in a standards format. | 07:39 |
| kkathman | so I thought that was interesting :) | 07:39 |
| ojw | MPEG is public domain, kkathman? | 07:43 |
| kkathman | the standard is yes | 07:43 |
| ojw | sure? | 07:43 |
| kkathman | the codec you use to view it might or might not be | 07:43 |
| kkathman | yes the standard is public | 07:44 |
| ojw | care to clarify? | 07:44 |
| kkathman | i thought I just did above :) | 07:44 |
| ojw | ok, "standard is in public domain". So if I convert the standard from english to C++, it will still be PD? | 07:44 |
| ojw | legal definition of PD obviously | 07:45 |
| kkathman | well you dont convert the standard, but if you wrote a codec it would be your choice whether you wanted to place that codec in the public domain or, sell it for profit | 07:45 |
| kkathman | its like the IEEE standards if you will...lots of people make devices and cables for IEEE and their respective devices can be patented | 07:46 |
| kkathman | but you cant copyright or patent the standard | 07:47 |
| === ojw was under the impression that to write a piece of MPEG software, you had to obtain permission from a person who could prohibit you from doing so if they wished | ||
| kkathman | the definition if you will | 07:47 |
| kkathman | that is incorrect | 07:47 |
| buz | i think you need a license to distribute it | 07:47 |
| kkathman | if you want to write a new MPEG codec..go right ahead | 07:47 |
| ojw | for example, the kubuntu distribution cannot legally distribute an MP3 decoder | 07:47 |
| === aljosa [~aljosa@ar11-m463.net.t-com.hr] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| buz | actually, in some countries it could | 07:47 |
| ojw | could they? could I, as a Brit, publish it, and travel freely in the USA afterwards? | 07:48 |
| kkathman | well this info came from a patent attorney in the video business so I would think he'd know | 07:48 |
| kkathman | mmm...that I didnt ask him ojw | 07:48 |
| kkathman | I think he was working in context of US patent law but I'll check if you want | 07:49 |
| ojw | some things can look more unrestricted than they actually are, can't they? | 07:49 |
| kkathman | but the actual standard itself for MPEG at least, is public domain and you can write one yourself if you want | 07:50 |

| ojw | ethernet = invented by xerox 1972-6, became a standard 1980, became IEEE standard 1983 | 07:54 |
| kkathman | right | 07:56 |
| ojw | so can "ethernet" be distributed globally at zero cost, or is it part of a network card which costs money anyway?# | 07:56 |
| kkathman | ojw I think thats the thing....you can IMPLEMENT the standard in proprietary unique ways...i.e. a board...and thats perfectly legal | 07:57 |
| kkathman | just like you can write a codec based on the MPEG4 standard and sell it or distribute it | 07:58 |
| kkathman | I mean there are 100s of codecs available both free and commerical | 07:58 |

| kkathman | I asked the following "If indeed it is true that the MPEG4 or whateve is a defined standard, then anyone or everyone should be capable of writing their own codec for reading or writing that format in whatever piece of software. So, if I wrote a piece of software to include the capability to write MPEG4 DVDs then Im breaking no laws or patent or copyright? | 09:15 |
| kkathman | Answer... That is correct | 09:15 |
| whiskers | kkathman, so what does all that bullshit mean...is mplayer legal | 09:15 |
| kkathman | Further... If someone give you a DVD with content and you use a generic player in Linux and implemented any MPEG4 codec, then you are clean also. | 09:16 |
| crimsun | aljosa: you're mistaking it for update-grub | 09:16 |
| whiskers | kkathman, yes but is mplayer/mencoder legal on linux | 09:16 |

| kkathman | hes a patent attorney for a video production corporation so Im pretty sure he knows what he's talking about | 09:18 |

| edulix | that allegadly were done by kubuntu's creep | 09:18 |
| whiskers | kkathman, well lawyers are a dime a dozen and they don't always agree on everything....so you might ask around before another one drags you before a judge. | 09:18 |
| kkathman | now if you bought a commerical implementation of a codec, and simply included it with your player I think thats a problem | 09:18 |
| whiskers | kkathman, no...mplayer wrote their own libavformat and libavcodec | 09:19 |
| edulix | I get: "rying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libkdchart.so.0.0.0', which is also in package kchart" | 09:19 |

| r3v | kkathman: well... my solution ends in 11 days. so don't think it'd help much :) | 09:46 |
| Choubaka | whiskers: when did you last run apt-get upgrade ? | 09:46 |
| whiskers | Choubaka, never | 09:46 |
| Choubaka | well, DUH | 09:46 |
| Choubaka | keep your system upgraded. | 09:47 |
| Choubaka | Hoary has gone stable. | 09:47 |
| kkathman | r3v I do have 0.10 actually...comes std with ubuntu | 09:47 |
| whiskers | Choubaka, well that is what i told you...my system is a little different than yours | 09:47 |
| Choubaka | a lot of things should have changed after you installed the pre-release hoary | 09:47 |
| kkathman | r3v whats the bug? | 09:47 |
| Choubaka | since* | 09:47 |
| r3v | kkathman: it just doesn't get/recieve messages sometimes | 09:47 |
| r3v | kkathman: on AIM | 09:47 |
| r3v | kkathman: as far as me and some friends can tell it seems random | 09:48 |
| kkathman | r3v ooooooooo the worst kind of problem | 09:48 |
| Choubaka | whiskers: run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:48 |
| Choubaka | at least have an up-to-date system before you start complaining. | 09:48 |
| pussfeller | i cant wait for google to do an instant messenger | 09:49 |
| pussfeller | then its goodby msn | 09:50 |
| Choubaka | Googim. | 09:50 |
| kkathman | r3v: one of the odd things about these all in one IMers, is that they are all hacks into the respective servers, and AOL Yahoo, etc are always doing weird things to attempt to block those hacks, so that might explain the randomness | 09:50 |
| r3v | kkathman: yeah | 09:52 |
| Choubaka | because it's pop to have a proprietary protocol. | 09:52 |
| Choubaka | damn them bastards. | 09:52 |
| kkathman | I guess I dont understand ... if you have a free service and it basically behooves you to have lots of people on your messenger network, why would they object to 3rd party involvement...I know they say "security" but I dont believe that | 09:53 |
| r3v | I just wish people I know would just agree on one, sucks having 4 accounts on diff protocols just to talk to everyone I wanna | 09:54 |
| r3v | that's an easy one | 09:54 |
| kkathman | r3v the ads? | 09:54 |
| r3v | they get $$ for them ads they put in their messengers | 09:54 |
| bubi | whiskers: | 09:54 |
| kkathman | wow...I guess thats true | 09:54 |
| r3v | my messenger has no ads, so I use their network and they don't get money from sponsors | 09:55 |
| r3v | well they probably lie and say that I see their ads for more money, but you get the idea :) | 09:55 |
| bubi | i played with hdparm and hdparm.config but i still cant get dma enable | 09:55 |
| whiskers | bubi, yes | 09:55 |
| kkathman | gotcha...lol...I never pay attention to those ads..and MSN doesnt have them do they, except that MSN Today thing? | 09:55 |
| bubi | i played with hdparm and hdparm.config but i still cant get dma enable | 09:55 |
| whiskers | bubi, what is it | 09:55 |

| r3v | oh... your trying to apt-get it? | 10:18 |
| kkathman | r3v I did an apt-cache search java, and Im tryng to figure out what exactly I need | 10:19 |
| r3v | well... you have j2re, but not in .deb format | 10:19 |
| r3v | is there a way to make apt-get ignore dependancies? | 10:19 |
| kkathman | dunno | 10:19 |
| r3v | or are you up on making .deb's? | 10:20 |
| kkathman | but I suppose there are pkgs there | 10:20 |
| kkathman | I think there IS a deb there | 10:20 |
| r3v | there are no official java packages in .deb in debian and I think not in ubuntu... due to the liscensing being retarded | 10:20 |
| kkathman | but there are also pkgs in the repos | 10:20 |
| kkathman | r3v hold on let me check something | 10:21 |
| r3v | I'm on a debian machine right now so I can't check | 10:21 |
| kkathman | jamvm - Java Virtual Machine which conforms to JVM specification 2 | 10:21 |
| kkathman | java-common - Base of all Java packages | 10:22 |
| kkathman | those are the ones I see | 10:22 |
| kkathman | theres also a lib there too | 10:22 |
| r3v | what are you trying to install? | 10:22 |
| kkathman | those 3 dependencies | 10:23 |
| r3v | that depends on java2-runtime? | 10:23 |
| kkathman | j2rel.4, java2-runtime, java-virtual-machine | 10:23 |
| r3v | but you want one of them cause of another program right? | 10:24 |
| kkathman | yep | 10:24 |
| r3v | and that would be? | 10:24 |
| kkathman | its called "Freemind" | 10:24 |
| kkathman | its a mind mapping tool | 10:24 |
| kkathman | but if there is something else I'll use that ;) | 10:25 |
| r3v | this is more a dependancy issue than a java issue | 10:25 |
| kkathman | its at freemind.sourceforge.net | 10:25 |

| eckhart | i just downloaded the koffice 1.4 beta and installed it | 10:27 |
| eckhart | now i have the problem that kexi does not work | 10:27 |
| r3v | kkathman: what if you try apt-get -m install freemind | 10:27 |
| kkathman | r3v hold on let me double check that ok? | 10:27 |

| r3v | I mean j2se-package... DAMN IT, CAN'T THEY PICK A NAME?! Anyway, | 10:31 |
| r3v | it lets you build a .deb file from Sun's non-free upstream Java | 10:31 |
| r3v | distributions. See "man make-jpkg". Cf. "make-kpkg" (from | 10:31 |
| r3v | kernel-package).only in sarge and sid currently, but it's a -all | 10:31 |
| r3v | package, so it's safe to use it in woody. This packages lives in | 10:31 |
| r3v | 'contrib', so make sure you have that in your sources.list. | 10:31 |
| r3v | sorry for flood, but most arn't talking anways :) | 10:31 |
| r3v | that will let you make your own .deb from the thing you download from java.sun.org | 10:31 |
| r3v | then you will have the dependancy | 10:32 |

| whiskers | NTolerance, no...those monks are not queer...they live alone and separated in the caves and cliff sides | 11:07 |
| whiskers | NTolerance, they are not like the damn Catholics | 11:07 |
| pussfeller | i like their outfits better than the catholics | 11:08 |
| pussfeller | you can't go wrong with a nice basic black | 11:08 |
| whiskers | pussfeller, the color is significant | 11:08 |
| kkathman | the facts according to Whiskers tho, and they arent facts, only opinions. | 11:08 |
| pussfeller | Johhny cash wrote a song about it, i know | 11:08 |
| whiskers | kkathman, they are facts | 11:08 |
| whiskers | kkathman, i have been there | 11:08 |
| kkathman | well I take offense at your statements and you blatent insenstivity, and those are the facts :) | 11:10 |
| whiskers | kkathman, well tell that to someone who gives a damn | 11:10 |
| whiskers | kkathman, because i sure as hell don't | 11:11 |

| whiskers | pussfeller, i don't give a damn if all the capitalist pigs ban me | 11:13 |
| NTolerance | hehe | 11:13 |
| NTolerance | paychecks are awesome, ever get one? | 11:13 |
| whiskers | NTolerance, don't have any use for that shit | 11:13 |
| whiskers | NTolerance, just like the monks on the Holy Mountain | 11:14 |
| NTolerance | how'd you buy your PC? sure it has components produced by corporations | 11:14 |
| NTolerance | you are feeding the evil menace | 11:14 |
| NTolerance | capitalism is all your fault | 11:14 |
| whiskers | NTolerance, well i got a retirement from Teaching | 11:14 |
| NTolerance | oh nice | 11:14 |
| NTolerance | so you spread your communist propaganda to kids? | 11:14 |
| whiskers | NTolerance, you are damn right...but this god-dammed government won't let me speak to my kids for 11 years now | 11:15 |
| NTolerance | haha | 11:15 |
| NTolerance | when i was a little kid i'd rather play Super Nintendo than pretend to be little Lenin | 11:15 |
| whiskers | NTolerance, laugh it up fuzzball...you may be next in line | 11:15 |
| kkathman | gee I wonder why | 11:15 |
| pussfeller | heh | 11:15 |
| NTolerance | next for what? | 11:16 |
| whiskers | NTolerance, well they may not let you speak to your kids for 11 years either. | 11:16 |
| NTolerance | i don't have kids | 11:16 |
| pussfeller | these kind of things do happen quite frequently in america actually | 11:16 |
| NTolerance | the power of the US government is so far-reaching that it prevents me from speaking to my non-existant children | 11:17 |
| NTolerance | the horror | 11:17 |
| pussfeller | the court system is heavily slanted towards females | 11:17 |
| NTolerance | either way | 11:17 |
| NTolerance | you stand a better chance if you're not batshit crazy idiot | 11:17 |

| NTolerance | i know | 11:21 |
| NTolerance | i opened up the klaptop icon in GIMP and I saw a few pixels which resemble George Bush | 11:21 |
| NTolerance | they are haxoring my PC | 11:22 |
| kkathman | yep | 11:22 |
| kkathman | its just a matter of time now | 11:22 |
| kkathman | they will secretly download porn to your computer, then come arrest you :) | 11:23 |
| NTolerance | hey now that'd be cool | 11:23 |

| === blueeel needs a bit of help on installing superkaramba... anyone? | ||
| NTolerance | hrm | 11:31 |
| NTolerance | should be able to install it through synaptic | 11:31 |
| NTolerance | should be easy | 11:31 |
| blueeel | synaptic ? | 11:32 |
| NTolerance | yeah | 11:32 |
| NTolerance | it's a package manager | 11:32 |
| NTolerance | run this | 11:32 |
| NTolerance | apt-get install synaptic | 11:32 |
| NTolerance | errr | 11:32 |
| NTolerance | sudo apt-get install synaptic | 11:33 |
| blueeel | ok... one step closer... thanks a lot... | 11:33 |
| NTolerance | then run it and you can search for packages like superkaramba | 11:33 |
| NTolerance | or if you want to cut to the chase | 11:33 |
| NTolerance | you could probably just run | 11:33 |
| NTolerance | sudo apt-get install superkaramba | 11:33 |
| NTolerance | yeah that will work too | 11:33 |
| blueeel | tried that... but it says there no such package... | 11:33 |
| NTolerance | but you need to have synaptic | 11:33 |
| NTolerance | hrm | 11:33 |
| NTolerance | maybe you need to enable some more repositories | 11:33 |
| NTolerance | do this | 11:34 |
| NTolerance | sudo kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list | 11:34 |
| NTolerance | uncomment the universe repositories | 11:34 |
| NTolerance | and try again | 11:34 |

| blueeel | hmm... needed to run a sudo apt-get update first... | 11:37 |
| blueeel | ... and i worked that out myself... hoooray! | 11:37 |
| blueeel | thanks a lot, NTolerance... | 11:38 |
| kkathman | smouche!!! howdy there sir! | 11:39 |
| smouche | brother kkathman, what's cooking? | 11:39 |
| kkathman | ohh same ol same ol..but doing good :) | 11:39 |
| kkathman | yerself? | 11:39 |
| smouche | back to a normal schedule after a week of semi-vacation; not enthused... | 11:40 |
| kkathman | ahhhh easing back into things I imagine | 11:40 |
| smouche | but I'll be back in the swing of it in a day or two | 11:40 |
| kkathman | yeah dont try to get into it too fast :) | 11:40 |
| smouche | heh heh, no such thing as easing in, where I work | 11:40 |
| kkathman | lol | 11:41 |
| === HackRip [~Miranda@ip-7.net-81-220-227.henin.rev.numericable.fr] has left #kubuntu [] | ||
| NTolerance | sorry, forgot that step blueeel | 11:44 |
| NTolerance | so you got it installed? | 11:44 |
| === Quinn_Storm is now known as Quinn_Away | ||
| blueeel | NTolerance: yup... | 11:44 |
| NTolerance | nice | 11:44 |
| NTolerance | beware though | 11:44 |
| NTolerance | most of the apps take up a good bit of CPU time even when they're not displayed | 11:44 |
| blueeel | heh... how do i change the default font in konsole? i can hardly tell a "d" from a "c"... | 11:45 |
| NTolerance | settings -> font | 11:45 |
| smouche | kkathman, you installed java, right? Which package did you use? | 11:46 |
| NTolerance | i use Bitstream Vera Sans mono under "other" | 11:46 |
| smouche | heh, that's the only font that looks any good on my system. | 11:46 |
| kkathman | smouche I did...it was a bit of a chore, and even then It didnt install the JRE | 11:46 |
| kkathman | but I have the instructions if you want them | 11:46 |
| smouche | no JRE? so, does it at least work with Opera? when I start opera it complains about java being missing - don't know what it wants it for... | 11:47 |
| kkathman | well I dont have that problem, no | 11:47 |
| kkathman | but Ive never had it complain | 11:47 |
| kkathman | smouche: let me send you this stuff and you can read through it | 11:48 |
| smouche | that's ok, kkathman, let me try to find my original install routine for that; I think I used somebody's shell script, and it worked. | 11:48 |
| kkathman | ok | 11:48 |
| blueeel | okay... then here comes my last question (i've googled it a lot): how do i get to play any video at all? | 11:48 |
| smouche | hopefully I have it buried somewhere in my bookmarks, or on another box. | 11:48 |
| kkathman | I gotta get back in touch with that guy smouche cuz I gotta get the JRE installed too | 11:48 |
| blueeel | i've had problems with all the distros and all the players i've tried with... (suse, debian, gentoo, onebase, mandrake, etc...) | 11:49 |
| smouche | kkathman, is the JRE the same as the "java runtimes" I hear about, or something else? | 11:50 |
| smouche | blueee1, have you tried xine-ui? or maybe kaboodle? | 11:50 |
| smouche | mplayer, as a browser plug-in anyway, seems really crappy, on my system anyway. | 11:51 |
| kkathman | smouche I dunno actually... I was trying to install that Freemind | 11:53 |
| kkathman | and it came up with 3 dependencies | 11:54 |
| smouche | kkathman: check out the groovy install script on this page; maybe you could adapt these instructions, at least for your JRE install. I used this before, and it seemed to work... | 11:54 |
| smouche | (but check the end of the thread for any updates) | 11:54 |
| smouche | oops | 11:54 |
| smouche | forgot the url! | 11:54 |
| smouche | http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=22646 | 11:55 |
| smouche | kkathman, the Freemind wiki has notes on debian installs, don't know how accurate they are for us... | 11:55 |
| kkathman | I | 11:56 |
| kkathman | I will check that out | 11:56 |
| blueeel | smouche: now i've tried both xine-ui and kaboodle... they just crash when i try to play a file... | 12:00 |
| smouche | just for the hell of it, I'm gonna run that shell script, kkathman, and say no to everything but the java, maybe it'll work (some stuff is messed up with that, gnome-baker and acro-reader in particular, I think) | 12:00 |
| smouche | blueee1, what about sound apps? Can you play mp3, etc? I'm thinking maybe the sound engine is what's crashing your video, but I dont really know... | 12:01 |
