| flames | which browser use you? | 12:26 |
| claydoh | make sure you put in mozilla-thunderbird not just thunderbird :) | 12:26 |
| kkathman | if you want your system to default to thunderbird, that will work | 12:26 |
| kkathman | I use Opera 8 | 12:26 |
| flames | i use firefox | 12:27 |
| claydoh | and mozilla-firefox if you want to use firefox in kde apps | 12:27 |
| kkathman | yes claydoh is right, you cant just put "thunderbird" or "firefox" you have to precede it with mozilla- | 12:27 |
| kkathman | hehe brilliant minds claydoh :) | 12:27 |

| claydoh | https://addons.update.mozilla.org/themes/moreinfo.php?id=213&application=firefox | 12:31 |
| kkathman | or perhaps try Konqueror as your browser..its KDE | 12:32 |
| claydoh | theres one for tbird too a bit nicer imo | 12:32 |
| kkathman | or Opera has alot of skins too...and version 8 is awesome | 12:32 |
| kkathman | but its commercial too, so..your call | 12:32 |

| Brazmetal | Hello people... I'd like to know if there's a way to set all the aplications to open links in firefox.... | 04:06 |
| claydoh | Brazmetal: go to System/Control Center, then KDE components... | 04:09 |
| claydoh | then select component chooser | 04:09 |
| claydoh | make sure you use 'mozilla-firefox' | 04:10 |
| claydoh | in the web browser section | 04:10 |
| === whiskey_1 [~whiskers@adsl-68-94-96-104.dsl.hstntx.swbell.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| claydoh | if you want to use thunderbird for email, enter ''mozilla-thunderbird' in the emal section | 04:11 |
| whiskey_1 | well i finally got that bitch postgres compiled for win98 but the damn thing doesn't work...something about a missing process token....screw it....i sure am glad mysql works and i haven't tried sqllite | 04:11 |
| whiskey_1 | now i just need to get a free program like pgaccess except for mysql and perhaps sqllite. | 04:12 |
| Brazmetal | claydoh, I put the full path to the firefox there, but some apps still just open links in konqueror... (e.g. thunderbird) | 04:12 |
| claydoh | that only controls kde applications, thunderbird is not a kde based program :( | 04:14 |
| === claydoh can't remember how he got his tbird to use firefox.... | ||
| Brazmetal | claydoh, so isn't there a solution? | 04:15 |
| claydoh | yes, I just have to look it up :) | 04:15 |
| whiskey_1 | looks like postgres is strictly trying to make people buy the expensive MS stuff | 04:16 |
| Brazmetal | ok, please :) | 04:16 |
| whiskey_1 | why the hell would they look for a process token that is probably only on the expensive MS stuff | 04:17 |
| gnu234 | 32-bit version on laptop. Streaming thru xmms works great. kde system sounds work within control centre but not "outside" of control centre. Virtual desktops etc...any ideas please? | 04:18 |
| claydoh | Brazmetal: open a filebrowser windo and go to /home/your-username/.mozilla-thunderbird | 04:25 |
| claydoh | note the "." before mozilla-thunderbird, it is a hidden folder | 04:26 |
| claydoh | there should be one oddly named folder in there with your profile | 04:27 |
| Brazmetal | yes | 04:27 |
| Brazmetal | so? | 04:28 |
| claydoh | enter there, and follow the directions found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=22333&highlight=thunderbird | 04:28 |
| claydoh | start at #3 | 04:28 |
| claydoh | right click and create a new text document called user.js | 04:29 |
| Brazmetal | ok | 04:30 |
| Brazmetal | i'm doing it | 04:30 |
| claydoh | open that file and enter the line | 04:30 |
| claydoh | user_pref("network.protocol-handler.app.http", "/usr/bin/firefox"); | 04:30 |
| claydoh | if that does not work change it to /usr/bin/mozilla-firefox | 04:31 |
| claydoh | and restart tbird | 04:31 |
| Brazmetal | ehehehe it works | 04:32 |
| Brazmetal | but opens in a new window... | 04:32 |

| Brazmetal | And the links like the "download more extensions" in the firefox continues opening in firefox | 04:33 |
| claydoh | there are extensions for firefox that add preferences for tabs and windows | 04:33 |
| claydoh | yes, tbird extensions need to be downloaded and installed locally | 04:34 |
| claydoh | tbird is alittle behind firefox development wise | 04:34 |
| Brazmetal | yes I know | 04:34 |
| Brazmetal | but I had already this extension in firefox | 04:35 |
| claydoh | but its better than mozilla mail | 04:35 |
| Brazmetal | to force link to open in a new tab | 04:35 |
| Brazmetal | yes it is. | 04:36 |
| claydoh | dunno, I didn't have to hack any files to get tbird to open firefox | 04:36 |
| Brazmetal | I like thunderbird... I have used it in windows since the beginning | 04:36 |
| claydoh | but probably I had imported all my mail prefs so maybe thats why | 04:36 |
| claydoh | from my previous distro | 04:37 |
| Brazmetal | a question... | 04:38 |
| Brazmetal | is firefox/thunderbird made in gtk ? | 04:38 |
| Blissex | Brazmetal: yes. | 04:40 |
| Brazmetal | ahh ok.. ehehhee | 04:40 |
| whiskey_1 | what a waste of time to compile that bitch postgres for win98 | 04:44 |

| whiskey_1 | well too bad..it looks like mysql no longer works either...the server still runs but the administrator no longer works on win98 | 04:50 |
| whiskey_1 | they must be teamed up with MS | 04:51 |
| Blissex | whiskey_1: MS Windows 98 is not a good server OS, and it has been dead/unsupported for a long time. | 04:52 |
| whiskey_1 | Blissex, bullshit...it is rock stable and has been running an integrated PHP webserver for more than one month...i just need to add a nice database to have a fully integrated enterprise system | 04:54 |
| Blissex | whiskey_1: you will discover soon some tragic performance limitations of the MS Windows 98 TCP/IP modules... | 04:54 |
| whiskey_1 | Blissex, you are speaking pure MS trash to get people to buy the expensive stuff with activation crap and drm shit | 04:54 |
| whiskey_1 | Blissex, they have not given me any problems | 04:55 |
| whiskey_1 | Blissex, but you do need the tcp2 stack mod | 04:55 |
| Blissex | whiskey_1: you can install GNU/Linux or freeBSD instead if the goal is a nice server, of course. | 04:55 |
| Blissex | whiskey_1: and the MS Windows 2000 is ok and does not have the unnice problems of XP or 2003. | 04:56 |
| whiskey_1 | Blissex, yes i can easily do that with gentoo....but i dont' give a crap about web servers or enterprise stuff....i just want to make it all work for free for the people who already bought win98 | 04:56 |
| Blissex | whiskey_1: that's a very bad idea. By doing that you add value to MS operating systems... | 04:56 |
| whiskey_1 | Blissex, so they dont' have to buy MS office or any of that expensive enterprise stuff | 04:56 |
| Blissex | whiskey_1: just like things like Cygwin. | 04:56 |
| whiskey_1 | Blissex, fuck Cygwin...it is a commercial product | 04:57 |
| Blissex | whiskey_1: but then they still buy MS platforms oses. and Cygwin is a fully free opensource thingie you can just download, totally GPLed. | 04:57 |
| Blissex | whiskey_1: problem is, it makes the idea of buying MS operating systems more attractive. | 04:57 |
| Blissex | whiskey_1: consider the lalternative: | 04:58 |
| whiskey_1 | Blissex, well i don't need or use cygwin...nope this is for people who already paid for win98 | 04:58 |
| whiskey_1 | Blissex, so they can run all their enterprise and office software legally for free | 04:58 |

| Brazmetal | hey, how could I activate the automount of cd-roms in kubuntu? | 05:45 |
| kkathman | quiet out there :) | 05:46 |
| chavo | yes it is, I've been playing some ET most of the day. | 05:46 |
| kkathman | great! | 05:46 |
| chavo | I finally got around to downloading it and trying it out. | 05:47 |
| kkathman | Brazmetal: My CD-Rom automounts and I didnt have to do anything..came that way out of install | 05:47 |
| Brazmetal | yes... | 05:47 |
| Brazmetal | in the beginning that worked | 05:48 |
| Brazmetal | but now I have to mount... | 05:48 |
| Brazmetal | Is it a fstab issue? | 05:48 |
| kkathman | well it should be in your fstab yes | 05:48 |
| Brazmetal | is that the "noauto" tag | 05:49 |
| Brazmetal | ? | 05:49 |
| Brazmetal | It must be "auto" to automound ? | 05:49 |
| kkathman | something like this: | 05:49 |
| kkathman | this: /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 rw,user,noauto 0 0 | 05:49 |
| kkathman | dont put the "this" there :) | 05:50 |
| kkathman | hehe | 05:50 |
| Brazmetal | yes, mine is just like ours | 05:50 |
| Brazmetal | ah | 05:50 |
| kkathman | that should do it then | 05:50 |
| Brazmetal | I have to put "this" before the line? | 05:50 |
| kkathman | no no | 05:50 |
| Brazmetal | ah. | 05:50 |
| Brazmetal | eeehhehee | 05:50 |
| Brazmetal | man, but what in this line tells the system to automount cd-roms ? | 05:51 |
| kkathman | when I put an audio disk in mine, I get a new icon on the screen and it mounts | 05:52 |
| kkathman | I didnt change anything from what was installed | 05:52 |
| kkathman | maybe chavo knows | 05:52 |
| Brazmetal | when I mount a cdrom, manually in the terminal | 05:52 |
| Brazmetal | a new icon appears in the desktop.. | 05:53 |
| Brazmetal | but just putting the cd in the drive, nothing happens | 05:53 |
| chavo | works for me too, don't know what could be wrong Brazmetal | 05:54 |

| CellarDoor | greetings kubuntusers | 06:01 |
| CellarDoor | I got a question | 06:02 |
| CellarDoor | my fonts look awful and I'm still unclear on what exactly I need to do to fix that | 06:02 |
| kkathman | go for it | 06:02 |
| CellarDoor | anti-alaising is on | 06:03 |
| kkathman | chavo is that option an "L" or "I" ? | 06:03 |
| chavo | lower case "L" | 06:03 |
| CellarDoor | chavo ? | 06:03 |
| CellarDoor | iyam a n00b also :P | 06:04 |
| kkathman | CellarDoor: I'd change your font to Bitstream Vera Sans and make sure antialiasing is on | 06:04 |
| kkathman | you change it in Control Center and can change it in some individual apps | 06:04 |
| kkathman | Control Center -> Appearance & Themes | 06:05 |
| CellarDoor | yeah but shouldn't all my fonts look decent ? | 06:05 |
| chavo | antialiasing looks beautiful on my screen. | 06:05 |
| chavo | CellarDoor, was antialiasing off at first? | 06:05 |
| CellarDoor | no its on | 06:05 |
| kkathman | I also configured the antialiasing to have Full BGR | 06:06 |
| chavo | kkathman, greyscale full looks the best here, to me. | 06:06 |
| kkathman | chavo really?? I'll try that :) | 06:07 |
| CellarDoor | doh | 06:07 |
| === CellarDoor switches back to greyscale | ||
| kkathman | try it both ways..see how you like it | 06:07 |
| chavo | Maybe it's my eyes or my screen, but I prefer it. | 06:07 |
| kkathman | well Linux does have a ways to go to get their fonts up to snuff :) | 06:08 |
| CellarDoor | ooh full bgr made them all shimmery and nasty on the eyes, like 3d glasses stuff | 06:08 |
| kkathman | I have a flat panel LCD screen so maybe theres a difference betwee this and a CRT monitor | 06:08 |
| CellarDoor | my fonts still look pretty ordinary | 06:09 |
| chavo | kkathman, for screen fonts linux is there. | 06:09 |
| chavo | I've got an LCD also. | 06:09 |
| kkathman | yeah the screen fonts arent too bad, but like Internet web sites are kinda coming up short | 06:09 |

| kkathman | right..it just seems to be the cleanest | 06:10 |
| brdweb | evening all | 06:10 |
| chavo | howdy | 06:10 |
| CellarDoor | hi | 06:11 |
| kkathman | hello brdweb :) | 06:11 |
| CellarDoor | I dunno, I'll keep searching for an answer | 06:12 |
| kkathman | yeah, you have to hand it to Microsoft, thats one thing they did right...get their fonts all nice | 06:12 |
| brdweb | what's a good way to improve the look of gtk1 apps in kubuntu? | 06:12 |
| kkathman | I tried using the MS fonts in linux and its just not the same | 06:12 |
| kkathman | brdweb: uhm...use the KDE equivalent? | 06:13 |
| kkathman | lol | 06:13 |
| brdweb | lol | 06:13 |
| kkathman | I know slap me now | 06:13 |
| brdweb | there really aren't good equilivants for xchat and pan though ;) | 06:13 |
| kkathman | seriously I do use most KDE apps | 06:13 |
| kkathman | brdweb: have you tried Konversation...its superior to xchat I think | 06:13 |
| brdweb | as do I... other than those two gaim, and synaptic, all i use are KDE | 06:14 |
| CellarDoor | I have found Konversation to be quite good after just a little bit of getting used to | 06:14 |
| brdweb | i might have... awhile ago | 06:14 |
| kkathman | Konv is more like mIRC on Windows than Xchat | 06:14 |
| CellarDoor | Kaffeine is improving steadily | 06:14 |
| kkathman | I toggle between Kopete and GAIM | 06:14 |
| CellarDoor | haha I have a friend who uses mirc on windows who thinks Konv is more like xchat | 06:15 |
| brdweb | i use gaim on my windows box as well so it's a more familiar interface | 06:15 |
| kkathman | CellarDoor: hehe..well they are similar | 06:15 |
| kkathman | I used trillian on Windows | 06:15 |
| kkathman | Seriously you should at least give Konversation a try...its nice, and stable | 06:16 |
| brdweb | ok, here's another question. how the heck do you use an ipod with amarok? i sync fine with gtkpod but only just noticed the music player part in amarok | 06:16 |
| chavo | what version of konversation is in hoary? | 06:16 |
| kkathman | and Konsole as your shell app | 06:16 |
| CellarDoor | 0.16 | 06:16 |
| kkathman | yes 0.15 # 3000 | 06:16 |
| kkathman | there may be an update on their site | 06:17 |
| chavo | ok cool | 06:17 |
| kkathman | I recently got the new GAIM and compiled it | 06:17 |
| chavo | I build my own KDE | 06:17 |
| kkathman | but I didnt see much difference | 06:17 |
| CellarDoor | I used xchat for ages... If Konversation can lure me away it must be good | 06:17 |
| kkathman | Kopete has some nice features that GAIM does not | 06:17 |
| === CellarDoor uses Kopete | ||
| chavo | so I've got 0.18 #3013 | 06:18 |
| kkathman | CellarDoor: hey what the heck...give it a try for like 5 days...and play with it..see if you like it..you can always go back | 06:18 |
| chavo | not much different than .16 though | 06:18 |
| CellarDoor | hehe yeah | 06:18 |
| brdweb | i used the one script from the forums that gets the newer version of the openoffice 2 beta... very nice | 06:18 |
| chavo | but .15 - .16 was a big improvement | 06:18 |
| kkathman | chavo where did you get that version? | 06:18 |
| chavo | kkathman, from cvs | 06:18 |
| kkathman | ahhh I need to learn more about cvs | 06:18 |
| CellarDoor | kkathman, I'm already using Konversation | 06:18 |
| chavo | well kde just switched to svn | 06:19 |
| kkathman | but I thought that CVS was for the developers only | 06:19 |
| CellarDoor | well gotta go | 06:19 |
| CellarDoor | cyas | 06:19 |
| chavo | kkathman, they have anonymous access, read only of course | 06:19 |

| Diablo-D3 | yeah really | 06:33 |
| Diablo-D3 | apt-fucking-get fuckinginstall fuckingmsttcorefuckingfonts | 06:33 |
| kkathman | he kept saying that when he would do an apt-get it was going off over to sourceforge to get them | 06:33 |
| kkathman | I did it myself and had no problem...so I gave him my sources.list...and he still said it was going to sourceforge | 06:33 |

| kkathman | whappd yes | 06:57 |
| kkathman | whappd: if you have hoary installed | 06:58 |
| whappd | kkathman, any documentation you can point me towards? | 06:58 |
| whappd | yep, i have hoary | 06:58 |
| whappd | (5.04) | 06:58 |
| kkathman | just do a sudo apt-get update, and then a sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 06:58 |
| kkathman | just make sure your /et/apt sources.list file is in good shape | 06:58 |
| kkathman | oops /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:59 |
| kkathman | i.e be sure to comment out the CD-ROM repo at the top, and uncomment out the others | 06:59 |
| whappd | what CD-ROM repo? | 07:00 |

| whappd | i think I got rid of that. | 07:01 |
| kkathman | if you did good | 07:01 |
| whappd | (it'd still be in my sources.list.backup, i think) | 07:01 |
| kkathman | when you first install thats there | 07:01 |
| whappd | but i think i got rid of it when i added repos | 07:01 |
| kkathman | uncomment out the other lines for multiverse and universe | 07:01 |
| kkathman | good...then you wont have a problem with installing | 07:02 |
| kkathman | its very painless and simple | 07:02 |
| Diablo-D3 | I have to remember to add multiverse | 07:02 |
| kkathman | once you are done, simply log out and log back in to KDE/Kubuntu | 07:02 |

| Bicchi | kkathman: like having multiple desktops. i am not sure what this is called. | 07:05 |
| Bicchi | kkathman: i think is called virtual desktops | 07:06 |
| kkathman | well you can add back the desktops by right clicking the kicker, add to panel, applet, desktops | 07:06 |

| whiskey_1 | Diablo-D3, idiot is right....why on earth would someone implement circular reasoning | 07:33 |
| whiskey_1 | Diablo-D3, although i guess you could compile one on linux first and then move it to win98 | 07:34 |
| whiskey_1 | Diablo-D3, but it is some circular shit on win98 | 07:34 |
| whiskey_1 | you know the funny thing is that i could just take some subroutines out of the libraries and put them in the program code and compile the whole thing with a windows compiler and sell it for money and gnu could never prove that it was theirs if i changed the code a little.....but i would not do that....it is just a risk that it could be done | 07:40 |

| whiskey_1 | whappd|zzz, you want to uninstall gnome?....are you tired of that dern gnome-help not working at all | 07:52 |
| whiskey_1 | whappd|zzz, because of some mysterious DSO error | 07:52 |
| whappd|zzz | whiskey_1, it's not really useful to me to have it on my system. | 07:52 |
| whappd|zzz | i've used Gentoo since Oct 03, and just moved over to K/Ubuntu yesterday...and in that year and a half, i've never had any use for Gnome. | 07:53 |
| benplaut | kanuha: thanks | 07:54 |
| kkathman | hey Diablo-D3 another question, for sites that mandate like windows media player, is there anything tha we can do as plugins for the browers or are we kinda SOL | 07:56 |
| kanuha | benplaut: np | 07:56 |
| whappd|zzz | kkathman, there are plugins that can do it. | 07:57 |
| kkathman | really?? for linux-based browsers? | 07:57 |
| kkathman | kewl | 07:57 |
| whappd|zzz | i'm pretty sure that you can install WMP under Wine/CXO and it will integrate a plugin into Firefox | 07:57 |
| kkathman | I figured that the answer would be no | 07:57 |
| whappd|zzz | i'm not sure about others. | 07:57 |
| kkathman | hmm I'll check that out | 07:58 |
| whappd|zzz | i know there are one or two different methods for quicktime, i'd assume that it exists with WMP | 07:58 |
| kanuha | mplayer has plugins for windows formats and there is a firefor plugin for mplayer | 07:59 |
| smouche | that plug-in is horrible | 08:00 |

| Diablo-D3 | kka.. grr | 08:04 |
| Diablo-D3 | is there a planet ubuntu? | 08:04 |
| whiskey_1 | ok well i finally got past that circular stuff....what a headaches | 08:11 |
| Diablo-D3 | did it involve installing a binary? | 08:11 |
| whiskey_1 | Diablo-D3, no i used gettext and disable option and then redid back with enable | 08:12 |
| whiskey_1 | Diablo-D3, so i had to do things twice | 08:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | thats... | 08:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | whats the word I'm looking for | 08:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | 'gay'. | 08:13 |
| whiskey_1 | Diablo-D3, well what else can you do...they did not have a build on glib2.6 or pkg-config 0.15 | 08:13 |
| whiskey_1 | Diablo-D3, the only build they had was the old 2.4 | 08:13 |
| Diablo-D3 | I can apt-get install glib and pkg-config. | 08:13 |
| whiskey_1 | Diablo-D3, yes well apt-get packages will not work easily on win98 | 08:14 |
| Diablo-D3 | and that is my fault how? | 08:14 |
| whiskey_1 | Diablo-D3, never said it was your fault...just said it was a headache because of the circularity | 08:15 |

| whiskey_1 | i don't know which i like better linux or win98...that win98 is so simple...and linux is not quite ready. | 09:25 |
| pussfeller | wtf | 09:26 |
| pussfeller | win98 like defines not quite ready | 09:26 |
| whiskey_1 | i went to compile some more files for win98 and found out that the whole world already has all the files compiled for win98 | 09:26 |
| pussfeller | and MS made millions off it | 09:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | win98 wasnt ready when it shipped | 09:27 |
| pussfeller | make that billions | 09:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | thats why you cant even use it until you upgrade it to whats in second edition | 09:27 |
| whiskey_1 | Diablo-D3, well the SE is still not enough...there is a very important sp2rc3 that needs to also go in there | 09:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | and even then, its no win2k. | 09:27 |
| whiskey_1 | Diablo-D3, and some security stuff...if that really matters | 09:27 |
| pussfeller | if i was bill gates, i would have been ashamed to leave the house over win98 | 09:28 |
| Diablo-D3 | win2k is basically the best release of windows ever | 09:28 |
| Diablo-D3 | its NT + the win98 desktop. | 09:28 |

| pussfeller | heh | 09:28 |
| spektr | whiskey_1: my C64 boots faster | 09:28 |
| pussfeller | my palm boots faster than y'all | 09:29 |
| Diablo-D3 | win2k boots faster on high memory machines | 09:29 |

| Diablo-D3 | if you dont have atleast 128 megs, dont both | 09:29 |
| Diablo-D3 | *bother | 09:29 |
| pussfeller | i think xp is ok once you make it look like win2k | 09:29 |

| whiskey_1 | Diablo-D3, that damn thing takes 1 hour to boot | 09:30 |
| pussfeller | nt isnt win2k, nt was MS trying to be unix | 09:30 |
| Diablo-D3 | pussfeller: lets try again. | 09:30 |
| Diablo-D3 | pussfeller: win2k and xp are both NT5. | 09:30 |
| Diablo-D3 | pussfeller: they do not use the 9x core. | 09:30 |
| pussfeller | its still not 2k :) | 09:31 |
| Diablo-D3 | whiskey_1: 1 hour to boot on a machine it wasnt designed for. | 09:31 |

| Kisain | serveer | 10:02 |
| Kisain | thats why i'm getting this program | 10:03 |
| pussfeller | thers a ton of docs about proftpd | 10:03 |
| pussfeller | and pure to a lessor extent | 10:03 |
| Kisain | well the main problem is that no one has been able to get through my router :/ | 10:03 |
| Kisain | no matter what i do they can't get through | 10:04 |
| Kisain | so i might set this up as a router as well | 10:04 |
| Kisain | which it says you can do | 10:04 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, don't feel it is probably that NAT crap | 10:04 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, i have the same problem | 10:05 |
| Kisain | bummer any idea the cause in nat? | 10:05 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, but you can transfer some stuff with skype | 10:05 |
| pussfeller | i would look into running your own tracker and use torrents if you wanna share files consistently | 10:05 |
| Kisain | yea i know it not efficiant enough though | 10:05 |
| pussfeller | or even ed2ks, alot better than ftp | 10:05 |
| Kisain | i need somethin that can blow through my router | 10:05 |

| whiskey_1 | Kisain, well there is one way to do it but it is expensive | 10:06 |
| Kisain | so windows and linux users can use it | 10:06 |
| pussfeller | its way more efficient | 10:06 |
| Kisain | get another cable modem? | 10:06 |
| pussfeller | downloaders have to give at least alittle back | 10:06 |
| Kisain | thats like 70.00 a month | 10:06 |
| Kisain | whats the way? | 10:06 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, what you can do is pay for a static ip and then use your set your address to your public ip | 10:06 |
| Kisain | i have a static ip | 10:06 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, but it is expensive because you have to pay for a public ip every month | 10:07 |
| Kisain | it hasen't changed in like for ever | 10:07 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, well it was about $5/mo when i was experimenting with it....and i said the hell with it | 10:07 |
| Kisain | actualy it hasen't changed sence i got the modem | 10:07 |
| Kisain | lol | 10:07 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, because it was $5/mo for the ip and $30/yr for dns | 10:08 |
| Kisain | so how do i do this if i have multiple computers on my network | 10:08 |
| Kisain | ouch | 10:08 |
| pussfeller | you can get a free dynamic hostname at mine.nu | 10:08 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, it just wasnt worth shit...nobody even used the auction server i set up | 10:08 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, they all used ebay | 10:08 |
| Kisain | lol | 10:08 |
| Kisain | well this is for my family and freinds | 10:08 |
| Kisain | mostly for storin shit though | 10:08 |

| Kisain | this server os i'm gettin has free dns service built in | 10:09 |
| Kisain | just wish i knew how to get through the stupid router | 10:09 |
| Kisain | puttin the computer in the dmz don't even work | 10:10 |
| Kisain | i know it's a stupid thing to do but i had to try :/ | 10:10 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, well there is a free dns...but it is different than icann....and you have to apply for it...it is funny...your url goes something like....name/country/zip/state/...etc | 10:10 |
| Kisain | and it floped hard core | 10:10 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, but that will only save you $30/yr....you still get screwed by the $5/mo for the ip | 10:11 |
| Kisain | yea this server os does somethin like that it gives you 3 free and 2 non free providers | 10:11 |
| Kisain | naw my ip is static | 10:11 |
| Kisain | it has been for every | 10:11 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, yes but you have to pay for the damn thing | 10:11 |
| Kisain | what? | 10:11 |
| Kisain | thats bull why? | 10:11 |
| Kisain | :/ | 10:11 |
| Kisain | not sayn your talkin bull just that thats bull | 10:11 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, well a lot of ISP's get a shitload of IP's and then lease them | 10:12 |
| Kisain | right | 10:12 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, no it is not bull | 10:12 |
| Kisain | that i'd have to pay for somethin i alredy have? | 10:12 |
| pussfeller | what are you guys talking about.. you can get a totally free dns name and screw this static ip stuff | 10:12 |
| Kisain | to me thats bull lol | 10:12 |
| Kisain | i alredy have a static isp | 10:12 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, well don't you have to pay for it | 10:13 |
| pussfeller | you don't need one | 10:13 |
| pussfeller | on most isps | 10:13 |
| Kisain | yea it's included in my montly cable bill | 10:13 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, well screw it...it isn't worth it | 10:13 |
| pussfeller | all you need is a dyns dns and an updater program | 10:13 |
| whiskey_1 | pussfeller, screw dyn dns...that cost money too | 10:13 |
| pussfeller | no it doesn't | 10:14 |
| pussfeller | its totally utterly free | 10:14 |
| whiskey_1 | pussfeller, not when i checked | 10:14 |
| Kisain | to many option head gonna explode o_0 | 10:14 |
| pussfeller | i have a couple right now | 10:14 |
| pussfeller | i don't pay anything | 10:14 |
| Kisain | danger! danger! will robinson | 10:14 |
| pussfeller | i never have | 10:14 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, well i did...just to set up an auction server that would be free to everyone so i could drive ebay out of business....but the damn public would rather pay them money than use a free auction server | 10:15 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, so i said the hell with it. | 10:15 |
| pussfeller | whiskey_1, what might be better is a LOCAL auction server | 10:16 |
| pussfeller | specific to your town | 10:16 |
| whiskey_1 | pussfeller, no...i don't think so....a limited market would only serve to jack up prices | 10:16 |
| Kisain | i'm not doin an auction server....i'm doin a data server | 10:17 |
| pussfeller | you cannot compete against ebay with just a server | 10:17 |

| Kisain | i'm gettin redy to crey here whats my easyest option? | 10:18 |
| Kisain | cry i mean | 10:18 |
| Kisain | somethin that ill bust through my router hopefully | 10:18 |
| pussfeller | put pureftp on an headless server controlling it via ssh | 10:18 |
| pussfeller | and forward the ports thru your router | 10:19 |
| Kisain | yea that works like a fart in church | 10:19 |
| Kisain | i try forwardin ports and nothin | 10:19 |
| Kisain | no matter what i do | 10:19 |
| Kisain | i even tryed puttin my box in the dmz | 10:19 |
| pussfeller | or even better put a couple nics in the headless server and thats your router/data server | 10:19 |
| Kisain | and it diden't work :/ | 10:19 |
| Kisain | i was gonna do that lol | 10:20 |
| pussfeller | you are using a store bought router? | 10:20 |
| Kisain | when i create this new server box i was gonna do that | 10:20 |
| pussfeller | those things are pretty limited | 10:20 |
| Kisain | yup a dlink di-604 | 10:20 |
| Kisain | ahhhhhhhhh | 10:20 |
| Kisain | i see | 10:20 |
| pussfeller | get arnos firewall script and you dont have to mess with iptables directly | 10:21 |
| Kisain | yea the website for this os said that i could make this thing my network server | 10:21 |
| pussfeller | this is actually how most people do these things | 10:21 |
| Kisain | ok | 10:21 |
| Kisain | 2 prblems with that....... | 10:21 |
| Kisain | i'm a geek and i love some challenges lol | 10:21 |
| Kisain | i was thinking of settin this thing up as a server/router | 10:22 |
| Kisain | maybe that wuld make it easyer | 10:22 |
| Kisain | but it says i still need a hub | 10:22 |
| Kisain | :/ | 10:22 |
| pussfeller | you do | 10:22 |
| Kisain | what would be the easyest way to do this on my box usin kubuntu | 10:23 |
| pussfeller | one nic goes to the internet, one connects to the switch | 10:23 |
| Kisain | and gettin through nat? | 10:23 |
| Kisain | yea i know | 10:23 |
| pussfeller | dont use kubuntu for that | 10:23 |
| pussfeller | get gentoo for a server box | 10:23 |
| Kisain | damnit :( | 10:23 |
| Kisain | i was gonna get contrib | 10:23 |
| pussfeller | you can, but its not what its set up for | 10:23 |
| Kisain | and put it on a nother computer | 10:23 |
| Kisain | i just wish i knew how to do this port forwarding thing | 10:24 |
| Kisain | all i want it to make a server so my freinds and family can share files and shit | 10:25 |

| Kisain | a program a how to what lol | 10:29 |
| Kisain | is it an easy soulution? | 10:30 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, yes well don't feel bad..i have the same problem...but you can use the free skype to get your data out | 10:31 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, i also have a router without that NAT crap....but i never could figure out how to get the virtual wan shit in it working | 10:34 |
| Kisain | they need to make a router for normal people like us lol | 10:34 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, well the hell with it...i just use skype. | 10:34 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, or for small files..email | 10:35 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, i have often wondered if they added file transfer to gaim...could it do what skype does | 10:36 |
| Kisain | hmm maybe | 10:36 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, or would it just be like another IRC failure | 10:36 |
| Kisain | well i donloaded the iso on my windows machene | 10:36 |
| Kisain | lol | 10:36 |
| Kisain | and i'm gonna burn it to disk | 10:37 |
| Kisain | you all wanna help test it once it's done? | 10:37 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, what iso | 10:37 |
| Kisain | for that server linux os | 10:37 |
| transgress | wow that was definitely a good buzz | 10:37 |
| Kisain | i have a exstra computer so | 10:37 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, oh...you mean that free enterprise stuff like WhiteBox or Gentoo Enterprise or CentOS | 10:38 |
| Kisain | i fugured what the heck | 10:38 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, who needs all that shit | 10:38 |
| Kisain | no it called contrib | 10:38 |
| Kisain | me ^_^ | 10:38 |
| Kisain | lol | 10:38 |
| Kisain | if it works than others can do it to | 10:38 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, nobody wants it | 10:39 |
| Kisain | yea i know no one wants it | 10:39 |
| Kisain | i just happen to be no one lol | 10:39 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, people are not stupid to be misled like ignorant fools by clever words like ENTERPRISE | 10:39 |
| Kisain | don't care for the word my self | 10:39 |
| Kisain | unless it's star trek | 10:39 |
| Kisain | ok i'm just doin it cause i have some time on my hands and it would be interesting to see if it works | 10:40 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, everybody i know is just using win98 because they can listen to music, watch videos, play games, transer data, communicate....they don't want anything else | 10:40 |
| Kisain | yea i know win 98 was cool | 10:41 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, they are not stupid | 10:41 |
| Kisain | than i went and got xp :/ | 10:41 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, that was very foolish...now you will be mutilated by that activation crap and drm stuff | 10:41 |
| Kisain | i never said anything about people bein stupid | 10:41 |
| Kisain | oh do i know | 10:41 |
| Kisain | but at the time like most people who switched to xp i was niave | 10:42 |
| Kisain | and takin in by the apparently svelt look | 10:42 |
| Kisain | not realizing the programmin was shit | 10:42 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, it is a damn unix kernel...so fuck it | 10:42 |
| Kisain | huh?/ | 10:42 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, it is not worth a shit and takes 1 hour to boot | 10:42 |
| Kisain | unix is that bad? | 10:43 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, it is the worst thing ever designed | 10:43 |
| Kisain | how can you tell it's unix? | 10:43 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, passwords.....non-root users....all kinds of stupid shit | 10:43 |
| Kisain | i'm a noob so i'm askin for future refrence | 10:43 |
| Kisain | lol | 10:43 |
| whiskey_1 | and really you don't even need upper and lower case to confuse things | 10:49 |
| whiskey_1 | that is why everybody is still using win98 | 10:49 |
| Kisain | so the server program i wanna use i made from unix? | 10:49 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, you don't need unix for a serer.....i have one running on win98 for more than one month without a reboot | 10:50 |
| Kisain | wow | 10:50 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, so you don't need all that stupid shit that takes one hour to reboot | 10:50 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, of course i don't broadcast the server...because i don't want to pay for a public ip | 10:51 |
| Kisain | i have a static ip though it's included in my service | 10:51 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, but you don't need all that stupid shit....of course on the other hand linux is free so if it takes a long time to boot...who cares...it did not cost anything anyway | 10:52 |
| Kisain | there ya go the light at the end....... | 10:52 |
| Kisain | shit it's a train run! | 10:52 |

| Kisain | and is in my opinion somewhat secure | 10:54 |
| Kisain | ahhh i see | 10:54 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, screw security....that is just a buzzword to lure idiots to NIX platforms | 10:55 |
| Kisain | i think i'm gonna give it a try anyway just to see you never know maybe it will be somethin good | 10:55 |
| Kisain | or usable at least | 10:55 |
| whiskey_1 | Kisain, well its free...so don't bitch | 10:55 |
| Kisain | or it could fry my system burn out my network and crash all my computers | 10:55 |
| Kisain | naw i ant gonna bitch free is good for a porr sap like me | 10:56 |
| Kisain | lol | 10:56 |
| Kisain | but if it works and get through my router | 10:56 |
| Kisain | than it amy be an option for others | 10:57 |
| Kisain | at least i'll have some experiance with it at the least | 10:57 |
| Kisain | and the worst that could happen it fries an alredy obsolete and un upgradable system | 10:57 |

| buz | all things considered ,cable is vastly cheaper for me than 56k | 11:36 |
| whiskey_1 | buz, well that is interesting...well if adsl is for you...i am not the one to stop you....but it is not for me | 11:36 |
| buz | when was the last time you surfed with 56k? | 11:37 |
| whiskey_1 | buz, i think it is a waste of money | 11:37 |
| buz | trust me, it's a pain | 11:37 |
| buz | well if you live in a country were local phone is free... | 11:37 |
| whiskey_1 | buz, i used to surf all the time with lynx...it never gave me a problem | 11:37 |
| whiskey_1 | buz, and i don't give a crap about all the stupid graphics | 11:37 |

| whiskey_1 | buz, i just use lynx to skip past the crap and get to the subject matter and download what is necessary and be done with it | 11:39 |
| whiskey_1 | buz, i kind of miss archie...becuase it used to tell me quickly where to find things | 11:39 |
| buz | well personally i couldn't stand to wait 15min for a pdf to download | 11:39 |
| whiskey_1 | buz, but anyway freshmeat keeps up with the stuf | 11:39 |
| whiskey_1 | buz, who wants a pdf | 11:39 |

| whiskey_1 | buz, or any doc for that matter...their eyes are going and they can't read anymore | 11:40 |
| whiskey_1 | buz, so who really wants that shit | 11:40 |
| buz | and good look updating your system over 56k | 11:40 |

| buz | but to each his own | 11:41 |
| Kisain | i have a ? how to get skype? | 11:41 |
| whiskey_1 | buz, i told you...there are only a couple of distros worth downloading and they only change about every year....so if it takes a few days to download...so what | 11:41 |
| buz | well if you got the time | 11:41 |
| whiskey_1 | buz, and everything else is illegal | 11:41 |
| buz | there's tons of huge content that's perfectly legal | 11:42 |

| kkathman | Kisain what browser are you using? | 09:11 |
| kkathman | Macavity: will it let you set your DNS settings? | 09:12 |
| kkathman | Macavity: Have you checked your settings in the Control Center also? | 09:15 |
| kkathman | Macavity: you will need to go to the Control Center and be sure you click to get into administrator mode | 09:16 |
| whiskey_1 | hmm...i dont see why these people can't run skype on amd64....they run the 32bit nividi drivers on amd64 | 09:16 |
| Macavity | Kkathman:: it looks like it saves the dns settings, but I have no way of testing if they are actually set, since it doesn't save the gateway | 09:17 |
| whiskey_1 | but it seems that skype knows about that top secret encapsulation stuff for non-routable ips....and they don't want to give up that information just like nvidia doesn't want to give up its information on how it gets its fast drivers | 09:17 |
| kkathman | Like I said, did you go through the control center and get into admin mode? | 09:18 |
| Macavity | Kkathman: I'm sorry, I wasn't specific - I used knetworkconf via the controlcenter - and it doesn't show any saved gateway | 09:19 |
| whiskey_1 | maybe that information is really important to them for something else | 09:19 |
| kkathman | but did you click on "admin mode" ?? | 09:19 |
| Macavity | yep | 09:19 |

| kkathman | usually, if you install ubuntu while connected to your internet it will find the DHCP and the deffault gateway on its own :) | 09:22 |
| Macavity | I have no idea what that means | 09:22 |
| kkathman | hmm yeah thats cryptic for me also, sorry | 09:23 |
| Macavity | It does that, well enough - problem is, I want to run it as a server, to some small extent, and for that I need static IP :) | 09:23 |
| kkathman | but hdc is usually your cdrom | 09:23 |
| Kisain_ | hey wahtwould cause mozilla to start lagging hard core | 09:23 |
| kkathman | Macavity: yes you'll definitely need a dedicated line thats static | 09:23 |
| Macavity | maybe I should try and place the kubuntu cd in the drive... | 09:23 |
| Macavity | I have static Ip for my internet line - this is for the local network, behind the router | 09:24 |
| kkathman | Kisain_: check your DNS and see if they are native to your country | 09:24 |
| Kisain_ | how do i do that? | 09:24 |
| kkathman | Macavity: hmm, well then it shouldnt be an issue at all ....... unless you intend to use your linux box as a router/firewall for your whole network | 09:25 |
| kkathman | thats an expensive firewall :) | 09:25 |
| kkathman | Kisain_: I have known others that changed their DNS to US ones and the speed improved dramatically | 09:25 |
| Kisain_ | how do i do that? | 09:26 |
| Macavity | Kkathman: I need to forward some ports from the router to the kubuntu box, and in order to do that, the kubuntu box must have a static ip - mainly so I can run remote desktop server, and access it from work and school | 09:26 |
| kkathman | Kisain_: go to control center and to network and internet check the settings | 09:26 |
| kkathman | Macavity: you have a switch/router connected to your DSL line? | 09:27 |
| Macavity | kkathman: yep | 09:27 |
| kkathman | Macavity: now can you do an ifconfig on your LInux box and get a local IP? | 09:27 |
| Macavity | and I have the remote desktop server working on my lan - and I have the port forwarding working on the router - I just need for my kubuntu box to have a static IP so I can tell the router which box to forward to | 09:28 |
| Macavity | I have no problem getting a dynamic ip from the router | 09:28 |
| kkathman | Macavity: right...get it from ifconfig | 09:28 |
| Macavity | and I have no problem assigning a static ip to the kubuntu box | 09:28 |
| Macavity | I can ping my router, no problem | 09:28 |
| kkathman | then do an ifconfig and get your IP | 09:28 |
| Kisain_ | what am i lookin for specifically | 09:29 |
| whiskey_1 | anyway there is no point in arguing with skype or nvidia....they are not going to change their minds....and well nobody really should force them too....like i say...maybe that information is really important for something else that we may not conceive of what it is | 09:29 |
| kkathman | I have the same setup | 09:29 |

| kkathman | pussfeller: dpkg -i <filename> | 09:36 |
| whiskey_1 | Macavity, none of the server stuff works on ubuntu...apache is still unreliable right now...and not many people want to use thttpd | 09:37 |
| kkathman | Macavity: thats what I have...I have a really low end server for printing and file server needs | 09:37 |
| whiskey_1 | Macavity, so there is no point in switching to ubuntu for server stuff....it just ain't gonna work right now | 09:38 |
| whiskey_1 | Macavity, maybe they will get all these mistakes fixed when they get breezy | 09:38 |
| Macavity | Whiskey: what's the problem? I have a server running ubuntu warty right now - it's not critical that is up 100% of the time, so I'm not monitoring it none stop, but it seems to be doing ok | 09:39 |
| gdh | Ubuntu -> deskop, Debian -> server, kthx. | 09:39 |
| whiskey_1 | Macavity, but there is some stuff working that you can experiment with | 09:39 |
| gdh | +t | 09:39 |
| whiskey_1 | Macavity, well the problem is all those fundamental glibc issues with databases....and it screws everything up...even gnome-help which all the applications rely on. | 09:40 |
| whiskey_1 | Macavity, so nothing works very well as far as documentation....and only thttpd seems to be reliable | 09:40 |
| whiskey_1 | Macavity, so maybe it will get fixed later...there is just so much that has to come together and be integrated for a desktop solution | 09:41 |
| Macavity | I'm still a relative linux noob, so I'm not sure what glibc issues you're talking about, or how they affect the server? | 09:41 |
| whiskey_1 | Macavity, well there is something called DSOs' that give all kinds of errors ...apparently for missing dynamic shared objects | 09:42 |

| Macavity | well, it's mainly a webserver to allow me to give friends access to files, without them knowing ftp, or the ilk - so stability isn't that critical. if I can get away with running the server on the same dist as my desktops, it'll save me a lot of time, learning that stuff | 09:44 |
| Macavity | and that's my main goal | 09:45 |
| kkathman | Macavity: you could set up an FTP server too...fairly easy enough, tho I've never done it | 09:45 |
| kkathman | but I think there are instructions at www.ubuntuguide.org | 09:45 |
| Macavity | Kkathman - yeah, I'm probably going to do that as well - but that's no rush - I have ftp access to my mac mini ;) | 09:46 |

| Diablo-D3 | hey kkathman | 10:02 |
| kkathman | howzit goin today? | 10:02 |
| Diablo-D3 | dunno | 10:03 |
| === Diablo-D3 just got up | ||
| kkathman | hehe | 10:03 |
| kkathman | nice | 10:03 |
| Kisain_ | any idea why it's gotten slower? | 10:04 |
| kkathman | Kisain_: kinda hard to figure this one...I'd go back and try to determine what you've done recently, then reverse it and see if that improves your performance | 10:06 |
| gdh | :) | 10:06 |
| Kisain_ | kk | 10:06 |
| kkathman | Kisain_: also, have you checked your running processes to see if something is unusually eating cpu? | 10:07 |
| Kisain_ | other than mozilla? no | 10:07 |
| kkathman | Kisain_: hitt CTRL-ESC and that shows you ALL the processes running | 10:07 |
| kkathman | there are tons of things running that you might not know are | 10:08 |
| kkathman | if you tried Kaffeine, for instance, it keeps running even when you close it | 10:08 |
| kkathman | watch your CPU and memory utilization with something like gkrellm and you'll see where your CPU usage is | 10:09 |
| Macavity | maybe I can install the gnome desktop, and set the gateway there, then boot back into kde... | 10:09 |
| Macavity | hmm, worth a show | 10:09 |
| kkathman | Macavity: yes you can do that | 10:09 |
| Kisain_ | wow theres alot of shit runnin :/ | 10:10 |
| kkathman | Kisain_: yes | 10:10 |
| Kisain_ | how to tell whats supposed to be and whats not :/ | 10:10 |
| Kisain_ | whats atd? | 10:11 |
| kkathman | Kisain_: click theVmSize column twice and you will see the things that are taking the most space | 10:11 |
| kkathman | click System% and youll see those that are most demanding | 10:12 |
| Kisain_ | cpu idles at between 3-4% | 10:12 |
| Kisain_ | whys the i net so slow? | 10:13 |
| Kisain_ | it's weard | 10:13 |
| kkathman | Kisain_: if its just your net thats slow | 10:13 |
| kkathman | check your memory usage | 10:13 |
| Kisain_ | it seems like it but then i'm not shure | 10:13 |
| Kisain_ | it takes a long time for the box to boot | 10:13 |
| Kisain_ | and opning programs there seems to be a lag of some sort | 10:13 |
| Kisain_ | but i'm not shure if this is how linux runs or not | 10:14 |
| Kisain_ | :/ | 10:14 |
| kkathman | my boot doesnt take any time much, its fast..up and at the splash screen within about 30 seconds max | 10:15 |
| Kisain_ | not me | 10:15 |
| kkathman | course that might depend on memory and processor | 10:15 |
| Kisain_ | should i uninstall ubuntu cause i have both kubuntu and ubuntu installed | 10:15 |
| Kisain_ | 256mb pc 133 | 10:15 |
| Kisain_ | and a 1ghz celeron | 10:15 |
| kkathman | Kisain_: yeah the low memory is a gater there | 10:16 |
| Kisain_ | ok that makes sence | 10:16 |
| kkathman | I have a AMD Sempron 2500+ and 1 G of memory | 10:16 |
| Kisain_ | wish i could trade a stick of 512 for 2 sticks of 256 :/ | 10:16 |
| KaiL | Kisain_: you should get more RAM ;) | 10:17 |
| KaiL | might be faster | 10:17 |
| Kisain_ | my box can handel a max of 512 but it has to be 256/256 | 10:17 |
| kkathman | I had a box here that I ran that had only 96 mb memory and a 1.6 GHz Celeron | 10:17 |
| Kisain_ | i have one chip thats 512 :/ | 10:17 |
| Kisain_ | it really sucks | 10:17 |
| kkathman | but it ran Gnome ok...but it took a while to boot | 10:17 |
| === zhiwei [~zhiwei@pcp0012013058pcs.selrsv01.pa.comcast.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| Macavity | hmm - actually, can't I just set the gateway manually in the /etc/network/interfaces file, and then reload the network? | 10:18 |
| KaiL | you can | 10:18 |
| kkathman | Yanno...it dawned on me last night, there needs to be a LInux foundation that can run ads on TV to advertise Linux...kinda like Apple did yanno? That would get more people to take the plunge :) | 10:19 |
| === codecop [~s@85.206.204.21] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| Kisain_ | i know this is off topic but that server program i downloaded had something called sftware raid is it possible to use such a thing on a windowsucks 2000 server? | 10:19 |
| kkathman | Kisain_: depends on your mobo architecture i think | 10:20 |
| Macavity | kail: what's the format for that? do I just add gateway 192.168.1.1 underneath the netmask in the interfaces file? | 10:20 |
| Kisain_ | i have it installed and running but i can't access it :/ | 10:20 |

| KaiL | /etc/init.d/networking restart | 10:28 |
| === _pleira [~pleira@I87b4.i.pppool.de] has joined #kubuntu | ||

| KaiL | under.. | 10:39 |
| KaiL | who can recommend a good mouse? | 10:40 |
| kkathman | I like the trackballs myself | 10:40 |
| Macavity | I'm pretty happy with my logitech mx510 | 10:40 |
| kkathman | once I started using one I never went back to a moveable mouse | 10:41 |
| KaiL | Macavity: does that have some "integrated lamp"? | 10:41 |
| Macavity | well, it's an optical mouse - I guess you can call that a lamp | 10:41 |
| KaiL | nop | 10:41 |
| Macavity | then I don't think I understand your question | 10:41 |
| KaiL | the first optical had a light on top to look "cool" | 10:41 |
| kkathman | plus, my mouse alwasy stays in one place..I dont have to keep resetting it and centering | 10:42 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | you could get a lazer mouse | 10:42 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | there kinda pricy but there even better than optical | 10:42 |
| Macavity | only light out of this one is from the bottom, from the optical sensor | 10:42 |
| KaiL | Macavity: ah, ok | 10:42 |
| kkathman | trackballs are even better tho...much less expensive | 10:42 |
| KaiL | that's good | 10:42 |
| kkathman | and less to go wrong ::) | 10:42 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | dude trackballs suck for gaming | 10:43 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | and they clogg to easy | 10:43 |
| kkathman | oh.. well blah then...I forgot you want to game | 10:43 |
| kkathman | nope thats absolutely a falsehood | 10:43 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | if your lookin for percision lazer is the way to go | 10:43 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | no it's not | 10:43 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | i have a whole box of trackball mice in the basement | 10:43 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | you know why therein a box in the base ment | 10:44 |
| kkathman | I have two of them Kasain, and have used them for 5 years and never had a clog yet | 10:44 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | cause i got sick of cleanin the rollers out once a month | 10:44 |
| kkathman | so dont tell me what I have experience with | 10:44 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | weard | 10:44 |
| kkathman | geez you must not bathe or something | 10:44 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | i've had nothin but problems with them | 10:44 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | :/ | 10:44 |
| kkathman | if you smoke they are bad tho | 10:44 |
| Macavity | Swim: I have friends who swear to trackballs for fps games - I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of taste and habit | 10:44 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | i have to take the bottom of every once in a while and clean the gunk off the rollers | 10:45 |
| kkathman | I just got tired of restting the mouse | 10:45 |
| kkathman | recentering | 10:45 |
| kkathman | its so wasteful | 10:45 |
| kkathman | I havent cleaned mine in 5 years | 10:45 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | the next mouse i'm gona get is a glove mouse | 10:45 |
| kkathman | they both work as good as the day I got them...course they are Logitechs too | 10:45 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | have no idea how it works but it looks cool and i want :) | 10:45 |
| KaiL | hmm, now I only need to find a shop here, which has a blue mx510 | 10:46 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | well yea logitechs a great brand very durable | 10:46 |
| KaiL | the red one sucks | 10:46 |
| kkathman | and mine are optical trackballs too | 10:46 |
| Macavity | Kail: true | 10:46 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | oh those kind | 10:47 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | those are better than the analogue | 10:47 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | i never used the optical trackball but i hear there good | 10:47 |
| kkathman | I just have the standard grey one 2 buttons, scrollwheel and a red ball...had them for 5 years | 10:47 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | i thught you where talkin about a regular analouge ball mouse lol | 10:47 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | you know the apple IIe kind lol | 10:48 |
| kkathman | totally maintenance free and I'll never go back to a regular mouse...plus those mouses are bad for CTS | 10:48 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | cts? | 10:48 |
| kkathman | espcially if you play games :) | 10:48 |
| kkathman | carpal tunnel syndrome | 10:48 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | thats what i thought | 10:48 |
| kkathman | unnatural wrist positions | 10:49 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | arnt those mouses the ones you controll with yur thumb? | 10:49 |
| kkathman | the trackball avoids that completely because you never move your wrist | 10:49 |
| kkathman | track balls you control with your thumb...very good ergonomically | 10:49 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | yea i could never get used to them | 10:49 |

| Macavity | yay - got it working with the static ip | 10:50 |

| KaiL | [ADULT_SWIM] : quake, doom and friends? ;) | 10:50 |
| kkathman | they always use the keyboard | 10:50 |
| MindZEye | Does anyone know why the "Access Keys" feature in my Konqueror is all of a sudden activating automatically after abou 10 seconds? It freaked me out just now on a page. | 10:50 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | like counterstrike and ut04 and battlefield vietnam | 10:50 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | ^_^ | 10:50 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | yup | 10:50 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | i have a tuner card in my box | 10:50 |
| kkathman | or they get a gamer's console and plug it in | 10:50 |
| Macavity | in a very roundabout way - set ip in the control panel - disable the network card - manually add the gateway to the interfaces file - activate the card in the control panel... | 10:51 |
| Macavity | it's a fucked up way to have to do it, but it worked :D | 10:51 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | so i watch adult swim every night and play my games or if it's a really good nght | 10:51 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | just watch and surf the web | 10:51 |
| kkathman | great life | 10:51 |

| [ADULT_SWIM] | i have a fanless | 10:52 |

| [ADULT_SWIM] | um p4 quad cpu 2 gigs rambus 3 160gig hd 10,000 rpm sata | 10:52 |
| kkathman | KaiL: but I built it myself | 10:52 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | liquid cooled | 10:52 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | same it the only way to go | 10:52 |
| KaiL | kkathman: I build this myself too | 10:53 |
| kkathman | [ADULT_SWIM] : but you payed like 11,000 for your system | 10:53 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | why pay 1000's for a system you could build in the 100's | 10:53 |
| kkathman | KaiL: ok | 10:53 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | yea i bought shit i diden't need ^_^ | 10:53 |
| Macavity | well, p4 2.8 with radeon pro9800 - i think it's about 18-20 db... not way high end, not totally silent. but it's good enough for me... besides, that's the windoze box, so it's turned off most of the time | 10:53 |
| kkathman | I built mine for about oh.. $300 or so | 10:53 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | but it plays ut like it was built just for that purpose | 10:53 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | nice | 10:53 |
| Macavity | anyways, it's time for bed for me | 10:54 |
| kkathman | maybe less than that | 10:54 |
| KaiL | this PC looks like some 1990th crap | 10:54 |
| kkathman | it was $158 for the mobo and CPU | 10:54 |
| Macavity | Kail, Kkathman - thanks for your help :) | 10:54 |
| [ADULT_SWIM] | eventually when they get ceaper i want a surround sound system for my puter | 10:54 |

| [ADULT_SWIM] | i think cooling factor is the most important | 10:56 |

| [ADULT_SWIM] | yea | 11:32 |

| whiskey_2 | plus their documentation works | 11:33 |
| kkathman | ArdieM: no, you have to update the apt system with your new sources.list you edited | 11:33 |
| KaiL | there seams to be a second one | 11:33 |
| ArdieM | but there is no repo in it ... | 11:33 |

| whiskey_2 | that is what i am using a $40 Asus board | 11:34 |
| ArdieM | kkathman ArdieM: make sure your sources.list it ready to do the install tho# | 11:34 |
| whiskey_2 | at least the Asus and the Via are cheap | 11:34 |
| ArdieM | yes | 11:34 |
| whiskey_2 | but the dern memory is expensive | 11:35 |
| kkathman | ArdieM: ok, well you should have commented out the deb line at the top that referenced the CD-ROM (just put a # in front of the line. | 11:35 |
| ArdieM | i know | 11:35 |
| whiskey_2 | i don't know why that sdram is so much more expensive than ddram | 11:35 |
| ArdieM | so youre just talking about the first line | 11:35 |
| ArdieM | ok | 11:35 |
| kkathman | ArdieM: then there wre other lines in there that were already commented out...that were deb and deb-src lines, and I wanted you to remove the # sign in front | 11:36 |
| kkathman | then save that file | 11:36 |
| ArdieM | im really sorry | 11:36 |
| ArdieM | but i dont understand 100%ly | 11:37 |
| ArdieM | so you mean: only cdrom need a # | 11:37 |
| ArdieM | ^^ | 11:37 |
| ArdieM | not right ? | 11:38 |
| whiskey_2 | it really doesn't make sense why sdram is so much more expensive than ddram....but well i can say that the sticks have not given me any problem in more than one year | 11:38 |
| kkathman | ArdieM: yes..that top line with the CD ROM reference needs to have a # at the first of it | 11:39 |
| kkathman | that comments it out | 11:39 |
| KaiL | whiskey_2: nobody buys SDRAM any more... | 11:39 |
| ArdieM | ok | 11:39 |
