| kay | I guess, you ought to select "no timezone" there | 12:02 |
|---|---|---|
| DaBlade | I'm 80km southeast of Oslo, but that doesn't matter lol | 12:02 |
| kay | for kicker applet, select in context menu, timezone "local" | 12:02 |
| DaBlade | no timezone? | 12:02 |
| kay | Yeah, if your BIOS is already 1h off... | 12:03 |
| DaBlade | yay now it seems normal | 12:03 |
| KaiL | is there no way to re-set the bios time interpretition? | 12:03 |
| thoreauputic | DaBlade: you can rerun base-config ( sudo base-config) and change the answer for time zone, otherwise the windows boot will ne wrong next time it boote | 12:03 |
| DaBlade | No need, thoreaputic. it seems to work nicely now | 12:03 |
| kay | The problems come when you dual boot then | 12:04 |
| DaBlade | but one more thing. if I accidently roll the mouse wheel over the clock applet, it'll change timezone. is it possible to stop that from happening? | 12:04 |
| thoreauputic | DaBlade: yes, but the test is what windows will do next time it boots :) | 12:04 |
| kay | Or ntpdate fails | 12:04 |
| kay | DaBlade: I only managed that by configuration of the thing and hunting down all timezones and disabling them | 12:04 |
| KaiL | DaBlade: rerunning base-config and then saying "clock is NOT set to GMT" would fix it the clean way ;) | 12:04 |
| kay | DaBlade: So I don't have timezones their and it doesn't get accidently changed | 12:05 |
| DaBlade | ok thanks for the help people :) | 12:05 |
| === KaiL starts to think, if we should even ask this and not just asume it's local time?! | ||
| kay | btw, it took me months to understand why the timezone changed randomly | 12:05 |
| DaBlade | me too lol | 12:06 |
| DaBlade | I ended up asking on some Mandrake forum, and some guy told me it's the wheel lol | 12:06 |
| kay | KaiL: Well, it's certainly more professional to have UTC in your notebook clock and when you travel around the world to only change the timezone | 12:06 |
| DaBlade | (I used first Knoppix, then Fedora Core 2, then Mandrake, Fedora Core 3 and now Kubuntu) | 12:06 |
| kay | KaiL: Otherwise, people will be having to change time in BIOS | 12:06 |
| KaiL | kay: that's an argument | 12:07 |
| KaiL | hmm | 12:07 |
| DaBlade | ok, disabled all timezones..no more accidental switches :D | 12:07 |
| KaiL | hehe | 12:07 |
| kay | That kicker applet feature is anti-usability or so | 12:08 |
| DaBlade | I think switching it with the mouse is something KDE should change... | 12:08 |
| kay | Somebody wanting to show off features nobody needs with non-obvious ways to use | 12:08 |
| DaBlade | oh, and one more thing | 12:08 |
| DaBlade | how do I make the trashbin appear on the desktop? | 12:08 |
| DaBlade | I don't want it in kicker | 12:08 |
| kay | No idea, have no desktop and no trashbin applet :p | 12:09 |
| DaBlade | I miss the regular trashbin that was in KDE up to 3.3 | 12:09 |

| mrmanic | my kmail keeps crashing | 12:24 |

| gdh | Thanks to till on #kolab, the KMail.desktop shouldn't have 'Hidden=true' | 12:24 |

| till | Riddell: Let me guess, you meant to disable KMail in favour of Kontact? | 12:26 |
| Riddell | till: that's the one | 12:26 |
| transgress | yeah why is that? kontact is way overkill... i had to add that crap to my menu | 12:27 |

| kakalto | no, I mean the kitchensync | 12:28 |
| transgress | gdh: oh... well it would've answered my question quite well... in a sarcastic tone | 12:28 |
| till | Riddell: you disabled KMail (and it's part) from providing the ResourceBackend servicetype. | 12:28 |
| Riddell | gosh | 12:28 |
| till | Riddell: proko2 has a dcopkontact.desktop which does things properly. | 12:28 |
| mrmanic | kakalto: i've tried, but I don't get it working successfully. | 12:28 |
| Riddell | till: what's proko2? | 12:28 |
| till | Riddell: the name of the branch for Project Kolab 2 | 12:29 |

| mrmanic | kakalto: it's a sync engine, I think | 12:29 |
| kakalto | right | 12:29 |
| till | Riddell: Want me to mail you that? Can you guys maybe provide an updated package somehow? | 12:30 |
| mrmanic | kakalto: it uses plugins to sync with things that have plugins for syncing with them | 12:30 |
| mrmanic | for example | 12:30 |
| Riddell | till: well we can fix it for the next release | 12:30 |
| gdh | I am just happy that for once there /was/ a real problem with the dist rather than just me being a fucktard =) | 12:30 |

| till | Riddell: Will do that, then. | 12:30 |
| mrmanic | kakalto: it SHOULD allow syncing between kontact and pocketpc, though currently that doesn't work for me. | 12:30 |
| kakalto | ahk | 12:30 |

| GameCat | transgress: i can't get ksesnsors to display anything on here either | 02:31 |

| nmorse | My ali m5451 sound card has all of its modules loaded, but I still get no sound. I tried setting all the volumes with alsamixer, alsamixergui, and kmix | 02:31 |
| nmorse | Nothing seems to help | 02:31 |
| nmorse | Do you guys have the i2whatever sensors module installed? | 02:32 |
| transgress | is averatec 3200 the wireless card or computer? | 02:32 |
| transgress | nmorse: yes | 02:32 |
| bdmp | the comp it has a built in wireless card | 02:32 |
| bdmp | Gemtek (Broadcom) wireless lan driver/MSI Ralink Driver | 02:33 |
| transgress | bdmp: k... well ima give you a link for how to do it on amd64... follow those directions except for the steps that say something about changin x86 to amd64 | 02:33 |
| bdmp | I have 3 guides of how to set it up on 3 different distros but I always get lost and mess stuff up so i thought I would ask | 02:33 |
| transgress | bdmp: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HowtoUseNdiswrapperOnAmd64Ubuntu | 02:34 |
| bdmp | can you explain the concept of what I would do. just basically | 02:34 |
| GameCat | transgress: I had to do the modprobes manually, then rerun ksensors and got a new config page with the sensors on - it works here - check your modprobes | 02:35 |
| transgress | bdmp: that's worked for just about everyone i've sent to it... just don't change the files... should be as easy as make deb from the ndiswrapper source, install the .deb's, install the drivers for your wireless to ndiswrapper, modprobe ndiswrapper, and that's about it | 02:35 |
| transgress | GameCat: they are in lsmod | 02:36 |
| bdmp | ok | 02:36 |

| GameCat | I do that a lot - still getting used to not having a root shell | 02:41 |
| GameCat | in that case, I'm stumped m8, sorry | 02:42 |
| transgress | perhaps i should try smbus instead of isa | 02:42 |
| transgress | dunno if it will make a difference on working or not... but that's the only option i wasn't sure off | 02:42 |
| GameCat | maybe - i use it here | 02:42 |
| transgress | isa or smbus? | 02:42 |
| GameCat | smbus | 02:43 |
| nmorse | 'passwd root' works for making a root account and therefore root shells | 02:43 |
| GameCat | nmorse: yeah, but I'm trying to get used to the way (k)ubuntu does it - I like the idea behind the locking out of root | 02:43 |
| GameCat | also, sudo -i gives you a temp root shell | 02:44 |
| GameCat | still, i try to avoid it :) | 02:44 |
| transgress | that changed absolutely nothing | 02:44 |
| GameCat | transgress: bummer | 02:44 |
| transgress | yeah but who wants a root account when sudo is so awesome | 02:44 |

| transgress | that line makes me think of bill hicks | 03:25 |
| GameCat | ah, sweet departed bill | 03:25 |
| gdh | Bill Hicks is an overrated twat. | 03:25 |
| transgress | gdh: you wanna die tonight? | 03:25 |
| gdh | Ooh I brought out the Klingon in you :) | 03:25 |
| gdh | Good lad, yourself :) | 03:26 |
| GameCat | gdh: he who laughs last thinks slowest :) | 03:26 |
| gdh | I don't understand why most geeks worship his rattlings on smoking and sex like they're some gospel.. | 03:26 |
| transgress | heh | 03:26 |
| bdmp | so in the faq the guy says "I got the drivers for the broadcom 4360 that came in my HP Pavilion from linuxant http://www.linuxant.com/driverloader/drivers.php they probably have the drivers you need." How do I know which driver I need? | 03:26 |
| transgress | i like his views of what was going on in the world... | 03:26 |
| transgress | he talked about a lot more than sex and smoking... in fact those were not even his biggest bits | 03:27 |
| transgress | i personally liked his ramblings on big bush | 03:27 |
| gdh | sure his stand-up's made me laugh, but he seems to have attracted a near-deity status | 03:27 |
| KaiL | bdmp: broadcom id boradcom | 03:27 |
| KaiL | ei | 03:27 |
| bdmp | thanks | 03:27 |
| KaiL | bdmp: broadcom is boradcom | 03:27 |
| transgress | lol | 03:28 |
| bdmp | are you all talking about bill hicks? | 03:28 |
| gdh | Or maybe I'm just trolling because I'm bored =) | 03:28 |
| transgress | i kind of find that hicks had some of that lenny bruce in him... he would forget the stand up at times on just go off on what was wrong with the world... and that was entertaining... not always funny, but entertaining | 03:28 |
| gdh | true, a heartfelt unscripted rant on TV is always great to watch | 03:29 |
| gdh | no matter who it's from or what the subject | 03:29 |
| transgress | the best thing i ever saw of him was he was doing one of the opening acts... and the crowd kept taunting him... so he just got into this battle of mocking the audience... and the other comics like gave up their time so he could keep going. | 03:29 |
| GameCat | I think the thing that makes him fascinating to watch for me is the way that you can *see* that the bad things in the world are causing him pain, and he's doing all he can to make light of it | 03:30 |
| GameCat | gives the performances a resonance I've never seen in another comic | 03:30 |
| transgress | you just don't see that vigor a lot anymore... in fact, when jon stewart was on crossfire and called tucker carlson a dick... that was one of the closest things i've seen in a while... | 03:31 |
| gdh | he's not exactly the Sonny & Cher Show, that's for sure. | 03:31 |
| GameCat | hehe | 03:31 |
| transgress | GameCat: ever see lenny bruce stuff? | 03:31 |
| GameCat | transgress: not that i know of | 03:31 |
| transgress | GameCat: you should check him out... another great dead comedian... older than hicks by far | 03:31 |
| GameCat | transgress: yeah, I know of him, just never had the chance to hear any | 03:32 |
| transgress | like... i like george carlin a lot... and you can tell he puts heart into what he says, but you don't really see him get angry most of the time... hicks got angry... and i like that... anger can show true caring sometimes | 03:32 |
| GameCat | indeed | 03:33 |
| gdh | K what's the 'group feeling' on Denis Leary? Pale modern copy of Bill hicks? | 03:33 |
| === incubii [~incubii@cor9-ppp2490.hay.dialup.connect.net.au] has left #kubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| GameCat | transgress: bill may have been a comic, and he may have been wrong about the things he said, but I have to respect him for standing up and trying to do something about it | 03:34 |
| GameCat | gdh: personally, I'm not a fan | 03:34 |
| transgress | eh i'm not actually as big of a fan of him... i wouldn't really even call him a copy... he likes to act angry... and he does seem to focus more on sex and smoking jokes heh... | 03:34 |
| GameCat | his heart isn't in it | 03:34 |
| gdh | :) he does seem to spread himself around between doing comedy songs, acting and standup | 03:35 |
| transgress | i think more of a modern day hicks would be david cross | 03:35 |
| transgress | and i just love david cross... he's made me laugh to tears | 03:35 |
| transgress | GameCat: you ever listened to any of his standup? | 03:36 |
| bdmp | That link that the guy gives in the faq is for amd64 cuz its a faq for amd64 where can i get the i386 one? I read in a different faq where someone used my same comp with a different distro. They said they used the windows drivers from the comps company website. Should I do that or is there some generic driver I should use? | 03:36 |
| bdmp | i love david cross too | 03:36 |
| GameCat | transgress: never even heard of him - but I'm taking notes :) | 03:36 |
| bdmp | watch that dvd "let america laugh" | 03:37 |
| transgress | bdmp: that site most likely has the driver from the manufacturers site... linuxant that is... but yeah you can go to that site and get the driver if you really want | 03:37 |
| transgress | actaully only watch "let america laugh" after you listen to "shut up you fucking baby" cd | 03:37 |
| bdmp | so I want the windows drivers for my specific wireless card? | 03:37 |
| GameCat | http://www.geekfantasies.com/ | 03:37 |
| transgress | because the dvd is about him touring for that cd, but it doesn't have a lot of the jokes | 03:37 |
| transgress | bdmp: yes. that's what ndiswrapper does... it wraps around the windows driver and converts the calls to linux stuff... sort of | 03:38 |
| bdmp | "shut up you fucking baby" is a so damn funny | 03:38 |
| bdmp | thanks | 03:39 |
| transgress | GameCat: ever see arrested development? or Scary movie 2? | 03:39 |
| bdmp | is the driver a .exe file? | 03:39 |
| bdmp | that's what i got from the company site | 03:39 |
| transgress | bleh | 03:39 |
| gdh | the driver will be an .inf with some .sys I expect | 03:39 |
| transgress | you have a pavilion huh? | 03:39 |
| gdh | unzip it /unpack it | 03:39 |
| bdmp | averatec 3200 | 03:40 |
| transgress | oh | 03:40 |
| transgress | umm... yeah well those suck... if unzip won't unzip it then you gotta use wine to run it or find it somewhere else | 03:40 |
| bdmp | unzip a .exe file | 03:40 |
| bdmp | ok | 03:40 |
| gdh | yes, many are self-extracting ZIPs | 03:40 |
| transgress | basically they tossed the .inf and .sys files into a self extracting executable OR an installer | 03:40 |
| gdh | using linux 'unzip' will often work | 03:41 |
| bdmp | cool thanks | 03:41 |
| transgress | but if it's the installer, then you can use wine to run it and take it out | 03:41 |
| transgress | or if you hate wine like me, then you will find the drivers elsewhere | 03:41 |
| gdh | at worst, you'll need to find a windows box to extract the files to | 03:41 |
| bdmp | is wine in kubuntu from the start? | 03:41 |
| transgress | no | 03:41 |
| gdh | no | 03:41 |
| transgress | haha david cross was the voice of a marine on halo 2 | 03:42 |

| kkathman | what directory Tm_T :) | 04:57 |
| kkathman | ok hold on I gotta go back and catch up | 04:57 |
| bdmp | I am in stalling wireless and the faq told me i needed 2 files .sys and .inf. Then it says to run "sudo ndiswrapper -i ''driver''.inf (where ''driver'' is the driver's name)." But it doesn't say what to do with the other file. Am I supposed to run that command with both files? | 04:57 |
| Tm_T | kkathman: =) | 04:58 |
| kkathman | ok I made the directory, so I run that command up there? | 04:58 |
| Tm_T | yes | 04:58 |
| transgress | bdmp: you just make sure it is there | 04:58 |
| transgress | bdmp: in the same dir as the other file... | 04:59 |
| Tm_T | kkathman: and you notice that you don't have svn, right? | 04:59 |
| bdmp | it is but its on the desktop. is that ok? | 04:59 |
| kkathman | no I dont that I know of | 04:59 |
| transgress | bdmp: it's just fine | 04:59 |
| transgress | svn is for the bleeding edge right? | 05:00 |
| bdmp | ok the faq says"do 'sudo ndiswrapper -m' if this goes through you should be able to go into System-Administration-Networking in the gnome menu (i'd imagine kwifimanager or whatever can do it in kde, and i'd appreciate confirmation on that) and see the wireless card. If it did not you may need to check the driver." it seems fine but KiwifiManager doesn't see it. I don't think. | 05:01 |
| kkathman | says svn not a valid command | 05:01 |
| Tm_T | kkathman: so apt-get svn then | 05:01 |
| kkathman | ok | 05:02 |

| nmorse | I'm interested as my family runs a newspaper | 05:42 |
| shiv | it shows here /home/shiv/Desktop but I can't see it on the desktop | 05:42 |
| Tm_T | transgress: less features than gimp | 05:42 |

| Tm_T | when you get used to it | 05:44 |

| nmorse | I use ImageMagick for a lot of crap on its own | 05:45 |
| transgress | nice | 05:45 |
| nmorse | But Krita looks like it has a great UI, like Adobe InDesign | 05:45 |
| nmorse | But less annoying than Adobe Photoshop | 05:45 |
| nmorse | InDesign is pretty nice for page layout stuff though, and cheaper than Quark Xpress to boot | 05:46 |

| Diablo-D3 | _nate: abi means application binary interface | 07:21 |
| _nate | not that i'd really want it, i just wanted to know if it worked, so i could install it and laugh | 07:21 |
| _nate | ok Diablo-D3 | 07:21 |

| luke_ | I can control voltages with it too. although I wont touch them.. | 11:40 |
| mikl | yeah, fiddling with the voltage-settings can be rather dangerous | 11:41 |

| shiv | hey all, with this great distro why is firefox not the latest version? even though it pgraded yesterday to 1.0.3 why not 1.0.4? I can't get any extensions without it, any help? | 12:45 |
| pounce | I'm from Seattle, Washington, but I lived in Italy many years ago. I've forgotten most of my italian. | 12:45 |
| pounce | shiv: the new version of firefox was just upgraded. Give it a couple of days to be added to universe. | 12:46 |
| Choubaka | isn't it in main? :| | 12:46 |
| luke_ | shiv: ubuntu and hence kubuntu get their repositries from debian. so it has to go through debian before it gets to ubuntu | 12:46 |
| Choubaka | Hmm. | 12:46 |
| Choubaka | Is that true? :p | 12:46 |
| Choubaka | Ubuntu has packages that debian doens't | 12:46 |
| Choubaka | doesn't* | 12:47 |
| Riddell | nothing has to go through debian, we upload packages ourselves too | 12:48 |
| luke_ | it's what I headr | 12:48 |
| luke_ | heard* | 12:48 |
| pounce | Riddell: you guys have your own repositories, right, so no need to wait for Debian. Besides, if you did that you'd never get a release out since Devian takes so much time to get things together for an actual full release. | 12:50 |
| pounce | er Debian that is | 12:51 |
| mikl | yeah, they've been working on Sarge for 3 years or so, now :D | 12:51 |
| Riddell | pounce: that's about right | 12:51 |
| pounce | I think 3.0r5 was the last incremental release | 12:51 |
| pounce | I like Debian, don't get me wrong, but you can't even get xorg in the standard distro. Just doesn't make sense to me when other distros put out new releases about once every couple of months. | 12:52 |
| luke_ | why is gaim so far help back then I wonder? it's release is up to 1.3.0 and we only have 1.1.4 like debian | 12:53 |
| mikl | well, stability issues, probably | 12:53 |
| luke_ | alot of the releases of gaim have been bug fixes.. | 12:54 |
| mikl | generally, gaim has released a lot of broken stuff :) | 12:55 |
| luke_ | yeah, but why would they realease something more broken than their previous release:p | 12:55 |
| mikl | new features, usually | 12:55 |
| mikl | but I don't know in this case :) | 12:56 |

| Diablo-D3 | get what? | 01:09 |
| Kamping_in_doze | you blokes know about this problem? i want a system to use a remote server for its X sesion, and i know i need the line "X -query server" in an X config file. anyone know which? | 01:09 |
| Diablo-D3 | Kamping_in_doze is english. | 01:09 |
| Kamping_in_doze | Australian | 01:09 |
| Diablo-D3 | Kamping_in_doze: thats not quite how it works | 01:09 |
| Diablo-D3 | Kamping_in_doze: you want an application to connect to a pre-existing X session on another machine? | 01:10 |

| Kamping_in_doze | theres 12 boxes already doing it :S | 01:11 |
| Diablo-D3 | Kamping_in_doze: you cant run X on one machine, and display it on another | 01:11 |
| Kamping_in_doze | probably that then | 01:11 |
| Kamping_in_doze | *corrects sentence | 01:11 |
| luke_ | remote desktop sharing | 01:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | X runs on the machine it displays on | 01:12 |
| Kamping_in_doze | probably not that, ill go ask the bloke who set it up what its called | 01:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | luke_: thats not what he wants | 01:12 |
| Diablo-D3 | Kamping_in_doze: does it involve vnc? | 01:12 |
| Kamping_in_doze | not the vnc application, no | 01:13 |
| Kamping_in_doze | its an X thing | 01:13 |
| Diablo-D3 | Kamping_in_doze: because I _can_ connect a vnc server to a pre-existing x session, and display it on two boxen at once. | 01:13 |
| Kamping_in_doze | its all done through x w-s, just not sure how. | 01:14 |
| Diablo-D3 | Im trying to figure out what you want | 01:15 |
| Diablo-D3 | you're not making sense though | 01:15 |
| Diablo-D3 | an X session is attached to the display | 01:16 |
| Diablo-D3 | so you cant run X on one machine, and have it display on another | 01:16 |
| Kamping_in_doze | thats because i dont know what i want :( i just got handed a network and told to look after it | 01:16 |
| Diablo-D3 | ouch | 01:16 |
| Diablo-D3 | windows or linux machines? | 01:16 |
| Kamping_in_doze | each box runs X, but the display is sent to the client from the server to be displayed | 01:16 |
| Kamping_in_doze | linux all :):) | 01:16 |
| Diablo-D3 | ahah | 01:17 |
| Diablo-D3 | that sounds supsiciously like vnc | 01:17 |
| Kamping_in_doze | debian server, all the clients are ubuntu / kubuntu clients because they just pass on displaying so its not important what they have | 01:17 |
| Kamping_in_doze | it could be. just using X? | 01:17 |
| Diablo-D3 | wait, how many servers? | 01:17 |
| Diablo-D3 | is it many server, single client, or many client, single server? | 01:18 |
| Kamping_in_doze | one display server | 01:18 |
| Kamping_in_doze | about 12 clients | 01:18 |
| Diablo-D3 | erk, Kamping_in_doze, dont use X terminology | 01:18 |
| Kamping_in_doze | ok. | 01:18 |
| Diablo-D3 | an 'X display server' is normally called a 'client machine' | 01:18 |
| Diablo-D3 | so, is it like one machine with a monitor, and a bunch of headless servers? | 01:19 |
| Kamping_in_doze | no, the oposite. one machine with no monitor, and lots of computers connecting to it | 01:20 |
| Diablo-D3 | now we're getting somewhere | 01:20 |
| Diablo-D3 | that sounds supiciously like a thinclient setup | 01:20 |
| Diablo-D3 | which doesnt use vnc | 01:21 |
| Diablo-D3 | it _could_ use a form of the protocol windows uses, but I'm forgetting the name of it | 01:21 |

| Kamping_in_doze | havent tried | 01:23 |
| Kamping_in_doze | but i think so yes | 01:23 |
| Diablo-D3 | then thats exactly what you have | 01:24 |
| Diablo-D3 | a thinclient setup | 01:24 |
| Kamping_in_doze | right | 01:24 |
| Diablo-D3 | which is almost what you described to begin with | 01:24 |
| Diablo-D3 | but a thinclient setup is closer to 50 monitors, 50 keyboards, and 50 mice hooked up to one box ;) | 01:24 |
| Kamping_in_doze | :) yp | 01:24 |
| Kamping_in_doze | ok | 01:24 |

| Kamping_in_doze | how do i set a thin client to look for the server on boot? | 01:25 |
| Diablo-D3 | ahh, hrm | 01:25 |

| === Kamping_in_doze greps systemfiles for hints | ||
| Diablo-D3 | you're looking in the wrong place methinks | 01:26 |
| gdh | We use 'thinnish' clients at work :) | 01:26 |
| Kamping_in_doze | AHAHAHH !! think i found it... | 01:26 |
| gdh | diskless PCs PXE boot + NFS root + homedirs.. | 01:26 |
| Kamping_in_doze | what do yours do? | 01:26 |
| Kamping_in_doze | ah right. proper thins | 01:26 |
| Diablo-D3 | gdh: hehe, thats not a thin client ;) | 01:26 |
| gdh | No, the apps run on each local machine | 01:26 |
| gdh | hence 'thinnish' ;) | 01:26 |
| Kamping_in_doze | :) | 01:26 |
| Diablo-D3 | a true thinclient involves completely dumb terminals | 01:27 |
| gdh | I shudder to think of running a server that could cope with 50 copies of Thunderbird, Firefox and OpenOrifice.org simultaneously..... | 01:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | if you had a monitor with an ethernet jack and plugged your keyboard and mouse into it, that would be preferable... ;) | 01:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | gdh: thats how my school had windows setup | 01:27 |
| Kamping_in_doze | gdh. we have a p3 600 trying to run 10 of the above :P | 01:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | I had to unwire it all | 01:27 |
| gdh | Diablo-D3: I think Windows has proper support for shared memory on big apps like Office... | 01:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | and ran them as 'almost' net booting boxen | 01:27 |
| Diablo-D3 | they'd boot off the hd, and then have /home on the server | 01:28 |
| gdh | so you're not actually running 50 standalone copies :) | 01:28 |
| Diablo-D3 | and do auth off the server | 01:28 |
| gdh | right, bbiab | 01:28 |
| Diablo-D3 | everything increased in speed 100x | 01:28 |
| Kamping_in_doze | found it :) | 01:28 |
| Diablo-D3 | Kamping_in_doze: what is it? | 01:29 |
| Diablo-D3 | because I think it has something to do with the login manager | 01:29 |
| Kamping_in_doze | its a setting "1=Terminal -query 192.168.0.1 | 01:29 |
| Kamping_in_doze | " in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf | 01:29 |
| Diablo-D3 | hrm | 01:30 |
| Diablo-D3 | wait a second | 01:30 |
| Diablo-D3 | well, first, that agrees with what I said | 01:30 |
| Kamping_in_doze | had to grep a client via 3 ssh hops but i got it :) | 01:30 |

| vicks | hi everybody. im quite new to the linux experience, so I have a couple of, what i suppose is, n00b questions: | 03:05 |
| gdh | We can but try :) | 03:05 |
| vicks | nice! ican't mount my windows disk in konqueror | 03:05 |
| Kamping_in_doze | what file system? | 03:06 |
| mikl | vicks: is it defined in fstab? | 03:06 |
| vicks | well it says it can't fins it in fsttab i would guess not (or?) | 03:07 |
| Kamping_in_doze | it wont be there unless you put it there | 03:07 |
| === ubuntu [~ubuntu@alesia-5-82-66-233-6.fbx.proxad.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| Kamping_in_doze | whats the file system? | 03:08 |
| spiral | oh, oh... I can't update kdebase in breezy because it wants to break a lot of things... Is it normal ? | 03:08 |
| vicks | ntfs (I think) | 03:08 |
| Kamping_in_doze | vicks. is it runnin xp or 2k? | 03:08 |
| vicks | xp | 03:09 |
| gdh | spiral: breakage in breezy is normal, yes. | 03:09 |
| Kamping_in_doze | ok vicks. type this in a terminal "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hd?? /mnt/" where ?? is the hardrive and partition number | 03:09 |
| gdh | If you're not experienced with debian systems, I'd steer clear of it :) | 03:09 |
| Kamping_in_doze | its probably ntfs | 03:09 |
| Kamping_in_doze | vicks. do you know where on the channel it is? | 03:10 |
| spiral | gdh: I'm experienced with debian system... But I wanted to know if I was the only one to have this exact breakage | 03:10 |
| Kamping_in_doze | ide channel? | 03:10 |
| mikl | spiral: Its due to the DBUS API changes | 03:10 |
| vicks | no. and i don't know how to check it in linux ;) | 03:10 |
| mikl | spiral: I have it also :) | 03:10 |
| spiral | mikl: all right then :-) | 03:11 |
| spiral | I'll wait 'till dbus doesn't pose anymore problem | 03:11 |
| Kamping_in_doze | vicks thats ok... type (in your terminal) "cat /proc/partitions" iirc | 03:11 |
| === motaboy [~motaboy@host5-41.pool80182.interbusiness.it] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| spiral | is there a switch for apt-get or aptitude in order to tell him not to allow upgrades that want to break packages ? | 03:12 |
| mikl | spiral: Problem is that KDE doesn't support the new DBUS api, and apt prefers to update dbus and uninstall KDE :( | 03:12 |
| mikl | ... which IMO is rather stupid | 03:12 |
| spiral | mikl: yes... ubuntu wants it, but kubuntu doesn't... | 03:12 |
| gdh | Ubuntu has paid programmers by Canonical to keep things in sync, Kubuntu does not :) | 03:13 |
| KaiL | mikl: update is somewhere around | 03:13 |
| Kamping_in_doze | probaly spiral, but i dont know off the top of my head "apt-get --help" would have to bee where to look :( | 03:13 |
| gdh | So it's always a game of catch-up | 03:13 |
| vicks | ok, i did that, there are two hd that seems to be that drive: hda and hda1 | 03:13 |
| mikl | KaiL: huh? | 03:13 |
| spiral | Kamping_in_doze: I found aptitude upgrade which doesn't want to remove the files & lets some files out | 03:13 |
| spiral | I shall maybe use this | 03:13 |
| KaiL | also the update in kubuntu doesn't really fix it, as there some things need to be fixed | 03:14 |
| Kamping_in_doze | synaptics "smart update" does a similar thing, but i dont know about cli or kde | 03:14 |
| KaiL | with kde 3.4.1 (after the gcc4 transition) this will look better again | 03:14 |
| spiral | KaiL: all right... | 03:14 |
| spiral | gcc4 transition, oh lord... with all the problems I myself get with it... :-p | 03:15 |
| mikl | yes, it's going to be a challenge | 03:15 |
| vicks | Kamping_in_doze: ok, i did that, there are two hd that seems to be that drive: hda and hda1 (hda the whole drive without partitions?) | 03:16 |
| Kamping_in_doze | vicks. hda is the drive, and hda* (in your case 1) are the partition numbers. so yes | 03:16 |
| Kamping_in_doze | try this to mount your windows partition. we will just keep trying till it works. :P "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/" | 03:17 |
| vicks | Kamping_in_doze: it says hdb doesn't exist (did you mean hda1?) | 03:19 |
| gdh | hda1 etc. :) | 03:19 |
| gdh | hehe | 03:19 |
| Kamping_in_doze | vicks, i asume hda1 is your ubuntu install, so windows will be on another hard drive? | 03:19 |
| vicks | Kamping_in_doze: no, hda1 is my windows install, my inux is hdd1 | 03:21 |
| Kamping_in_doze | oh ok, hten yes, you want /dev/hda1 | 03:21 |
| vicks | Kamping_in_doze: it's mounted now in, but when i try to access it through conqueror, it says it can't access /mnt (or something like that, i'm translating from swedish =) ) | 03:23 |
| Kamping_in_doze | :) thats ok. just say it doesnt work and we will read your mind :D | 03:24 |
| spiral | vicks : umask=0222 should do the trick | 03:25 |
| Kamping_in_doze | so now we know for sure which drive it is, go "sudo echo "/dev/hda1 /mnt/ ntfs defaults,uid=0222 0 0" | 03:25 |
| Kamping_in_doze | ah wait | 03:25 |
| spiral | Kamping_in_doze: you forgot the >... , isn't it ? | 03:25 |
| Kamping_in_doze | >>"sudo echo "/dev/hda1 /mnt/ ntfs defaults,uid=0222 0 0" >> /etc/fstab | 03:26 |
| Kamping_in_doze | yes :D hence the wait. my bad | 03:26 |
| spiral | :-) | 03:26 |
| === spiritz [~spiritz@ca-sqy-2-163.w80-8.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| vicks | ok, here we go =) | 03:26 |
| Kamping_in_doze | need two >>s or it overwrites the existing file, btw | 03:26 |
| === ztonzy [~ztonzy@ztonzy.artist.blender] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| Kamping_in_doze | that may fail, you might need to sudo -s and hten do the echo. just thought about that, but still | 03:27 |
| vicks | i think you just went over my head there guys, could you take it from the suda echo thingy | 03:28 |
| Kamping_in_doze | ok. vicks | 03:28 |
| Kamping_in_doze | theres a file called fstab. this stores where all the hard drives on your computer are | 03:29 |
| Kamping_in_doze | and partitions. | 03:29 |
| vicks | ok | 03:29 |
| Kamping_in_doze | what we did with the echo was make a line: | 03:29 |
| Kamping_in_doze | "/dev/hda1 /mnt/ ntfs defaults,uid=0222 0 0" | 03:29 |
| Kamping_in_doze | go into fstab by (heres the geek speak) redirecting the standard output to the file fstab | 03:30 |
| Kamping_in_doze | to redirect the > or >> symbols are used | 03:30 |
| Kamping_in_doze | > means overwrite the file | 03:30 |
| vicks | ok | 03:30 |
| Kamping_in_doze | >> means add to the file (append) | 03:30 |
| Kamping_in_doze | and sudo is "run this program as root" | 03:31 |
| vicks | yes that i know ;) | 03:31 |
| Kamping_in_doze | :) | 03:31 |
| vicks | so the line should read: >>"sudo echo "/dev/hda1 /mnt/ ntfs defaults,uid=0222 0 0" >> /etc/fstab | 03:31 |
| Kamping_in_doze | no >> at hte start | 03:32 |
| Kamping_in_doze | sudo echo "/dev/hda1 /mnt/ ntfs defaults,uid=0222 0 0" >> /etc/fstab | 03:32 |
| === ztonzy [~ztonzy@ztonzy.artist.blender] has left #kubuntu ["Lmnar"] | ||
| vicks | lol, sorry I understand | 03:32 |
| vicks | i just copiedan above line without really reading it | 03:33 |
| Kamping_in_doze | thats cool. im telling you to use a method i dont use :P i edit the file by hand | 03:33 |
| Kamping_in_doze | when you run that run this "cat /etc/fstab" to find out if it worked, or if we have to rewrite your fstab :) | 03:34 |
| Kamping_in_doze | vicks mate, you want to run those commands for us? if they go wrong we need to get them right before you go :O | 03:38 |
| vicks | Kamping_in_doze: =) well i didn't sort my problem | 03:40 |
| Kamping_in_doze | :) so whats up? | 03:40 |
| === apollo2011 [~apollo201@69.37.85.126.adsl.snet.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| vicks | the same error as before. when i looked at the fstab in kate it didn't seem to have changed, so i tried the echo thing again, and now it says: bash: /etc/fstab: access denied | 03:44 |
| Kamping_in_doze | did you put in sudo? | 03:45 |
| vicks | yes | 03:46 |
| vicks | can i edit the file directly from kate? | 03:46 |
| Kamping_in_doze | ok. try this. "sudo -s" | 03:46 |
| Kamping_in_doze | you can, | 03:46 |
| Kamping_in_doze | go "sudo kate /etc/fstab" | 03:46 |
| Kamping_in_doze | i prefer vi, but you know | 03:46 |
| vicks | ok, i gonna try with the suda -s first then | 03:47 |
| Kamping_in_doze | sudo -s puts you in a shell, thats all | 03:47 |
| Kamping_in_doze | and its O, not A | 03:47 |
| Kamping_in_doze | letter O | 03:47 |
| vicks | yes, that was a typo =) | 03:48 |
| Kamping_in_doze | : | 03:48 |
| Kamping_in_doze | :) | 03:48 |
| vicks | should i still use sudo, in shell? | 03:48 |
| Kamping_in_doze | yes | 03:48 |
| Kamping_in_doze | to launch kate | 03:48 |
| vicks | ok, the line is added in fstab now. but i still can't acess the drive (can't access /mnt) | 03:50 |
| Kamping_in_doze | ok. in your terminal type this "umount /mnt/ && mount -a | 03:51 |
| === kernelpanik [~kernelpan@adsl-ull-96-68.44-151.net24.it] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| vicks | done | 03:52 |
| Kamping_in_doze | now try | 03:53 |
| vicks | same prob | 03:53 |
| gdh | when you're in 'sudo -s' shell, can you cd /mnt and then ls ? | 03:53 |
| gdh | in case mounting as ntfs will lock the mount to root-only 700 permissions? | 03:53 |
| vicks | gdh: yes | 03:54 |
| gdh | so you can see the contents of your ntfs drive in sudo, but not as a normal user? | 03:54 |
| vicks | yes | 03:55 |
| gdh | in that case you'll need to edit your fstab again and add "uid=1000" as an option | 03:55 |
| gdh | assuming your own user is UID 1000 | 03:55 |
| gdh | which it probably will be | 03:55 |
| Kamping_in_doze | id is 0222 isnt it? | 03:56 |
| vicks | how do I add the uid to the line? | 03:56 |
| gdh | Kamping_in_doze: maybe you're thinking of umask? | 03:56 |
| Kamping_in_doze | could be :S but im sure thats what i added.. probably umask | 03:57 |
| vicks | aha, sorry =) | 03:57 |
| vicks | so, i should change from 0222 to 1000? | 03:57 |
| gdh | vicks: hey it can't hurt to try :) | 03:57 |
| gdh | you will then need to umount /mnt && mount /mnt again | 03:57 |
| gdh | make sure you're not currently 'cd' in /mnt or umount will fail 'device busy' | 03:58 |
| === kaiten [~kaiten@82-41-206-129.cable.ubr11.edin.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| gdh | also make sure you 'chown 1000 /mnt' so that Linux itself will permit you to read/write to that dir, | 03:59 |
| gdh | aside from whatever the ntfs driver is doing | 03:59 |
| gdh | Isn't open source fun and easy? :) | 03:59 |
| Kamping_in_doze | i havent had to chown the dir, but whatever :D | 04:00 |
| gdh | Kamping_in_doze: Belt and braces, I guess :) | 04:00 |
| Kamping_in_doze | yeh and ubuntus sloagan is "linux that just works" :) | 04:00 |
| gdh | Kamping_in_doze: Depends on how you interpret 'just works' =) | 04:00 |
| Kamping_in_doze | lol | 04:00 |
| gdh | Linux that /just/ works... | 04:01 |
| vicks | gdh: did you mean that i have to be in the /mnt to unmount? | 04:01 |
| mikl | well, you also seem to make this procedure overly complicated :P | 04:01 |
| gdh | vicks: No, exactly the opposite :) | 04:01 |

| apollo2011 | Hi everyone | 05:08 |
| apollo2011 | I just installed Kubuntu in addition to SUSE on my computer | 05:08 |
| apollo2011 | I was wondering how I edit the graphics/monitor settings. In the setup I wanted to select 1024X1280 but hit enter instead of space and now I am in the system with a large black border around the screen becuase it is only using 1024X768. | 05:09 |
| Kamping_in_doze | using dpkg is the way i use | 05:10 |
| eduardo | oops, i entered hoping i could find a solution to the kdelibs problem... i executed the script, it's ok, but i have no crystal icons at all, i just see gears | 05:10 |
| eduardo | i though the script would solve it | 05:10 |
| apollo2011 | ok Ill look at dpkg. I assume sax2 isnt in ubuntu because I couldn't find it... | 05:10 |
| eduardo | since the problem was cause by the kdelibs package | 05:11 |
| Kamping_in_doze | apollo2011, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" | 05:11 |
| apollo2011 | ok tyhx | 05:11 |
| Kamping_in_doze | sorry, nfi what sax is | 05:11 |
| mikl | apollo2011: sax2 as in python or what? | 05:11 |
| eduardo | the suse monitor configurator | 05:11 |
| mikl | oh | 05:12 |
| apollo2011 | yeah it is in SUSE | 05:12 |

| mikl | eduardo: try kdeartwork | 05:13 |
| eduardo | thx mikl | 05:14 |
| eduardo | trying right now | 05:14 |
| apollo2011 | Kamping_in_doze: Some of the settings I don't know what to put in... | 05:14 |
| Kamping_in_doze | ok. | 05:15 |
| Kamping_in_doze | such as what atm? | 05:15 |
| Kamping_in_doze | grr. i wrote some instructions on using that tool, but they are not up on my webspace :S | 05:16 |
| Kamping_in_doze | feel free to look at any of this, hope none of its private :S http://www.users.on.net/~goetz/itshare/ | 05:16 |
| Kamping_in_doze | some of it is, oh well. | 05:17 |
| apollo2011 | well, first the driver, I assume nv since I have an nvidia card | 05:18 |
| Kamping_in_doze | yes | 05:18 |
| apollo2011 | ok I made it through....How do I get the changed to apply? reboot? | 05:21 |
| apollo2011 | *changes | 05:21 |
| Kamping_in_doze | you can, but do this in a system terminal (its going to kill X) | 05:22 |
| apollo2011 | what do you mean? | 05:22 |
| Kamping_in_doze | *login* sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 05:22 |
| apollo2011 | oh ok | 05:22 |
| Kamping_in_doze | press ctrl+alt+f key | 05:22 |
| Kamping_in_doze | thats f2 | 05:22 |
| Kamping_in_doze | -> f6 | 05:22 |

| kkathman | Well you could do both Tm_T of course I cant understand a bit of Finnish, Im afraid :) | 07:14 |
| Tm_T | =) | 07:14 |
| kkathman | My blog is at www.xanga.com/korkster | 07:14 |
| Tm_T | kkathman: Ill try english :) | 07:14 |
| kkathman | I think you do very well with English, Tm_T :) | 07:15 |
| Tm_T | maybe =) | 07:16 |
| kkathman | Darn I wish I could have gotten that Koffice to work :( | 07:16 |
| Tm_T | uh, you still have trouble with it? | 07:16 |
| kkathman | by the way, Im trying to remove all the files now, and they are coded as read only...how do I change the files to rw so I can delete the directory with an rm -r ? | 07:17 |
| kkathman | oh yeah I couldnt get that ./configure to ever work with a correct prefix | 07:17 |
| kkathman | I figure there is a command line thing to set all the files in a directory to read-write from read-only | 07:18 |
| Tm_T | chmod -R 777 foo | 07:19 |
| Tm_T | and voil, all users have full privileges | 07:19 |
| kkathman | hmmm just chmod? | 07:19 |
| kkathman | hmm ok | 07:19 |
| kkathman | guess I was trying to make it harder | 07:19 |
| Tm_T | heh | 07:20 |
| kkathman | so sometimes that option is -r and sometimes its -R on commands whats the big difference? | 07:22 |
| kkathman | like its rm -r but chmod -R | 07:22 |
| Tm_T | well, normally they are the same | 07:22 |
| kkathman | ahh ok | 07:22 |
| Tm_T | but not always, so I use -R | 07:22 |
| kkathman | was hoping so | 07:22 |
| Tm_T | just to be sure :p | 07:22 |
| kkathman | ok good rule of thumb | 07:23 |
| === _simple [~simple@adsl-2-150-111.mia.bellsouth.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||

| amichai | does anyone know if there is a gui tool for unpacking .deb packages? I want to give kubuntu to my customers, but avoiding them using terminal. | 07:30 |
| psn | amichai: kynaptic | 07:30 |
| amichai | psn: how would i get them to use kynaptic to install a package that they downloaded from a site? | 07:31 |
| psn | amichai: hmm not sure kynaptic supports that yet... I only use the repositories | 07:32 |
| kkathman | amichai: kynaptic wont do that | 07:33 |
| amichai | kkathman: synaptic does right? | 07:33 |
| kkathman | amichai: no, not from a site | 07:33 |
| kkathman | amichai: synaptic and kynaptic are just front ends for apt-get so they only work on repositories | 07:33 |
| amichai | kkathman: so its only once i've installed it even from a site that it lists it? it lists my skype | 07:33 |
| amichai | kkathman: i could make my own repo for my customers? | 07:34 |
| psn | amichai: hmm kpackage might handle it though | 07:34 |
| kkathman | amichai: well thats coincidental I think, because skype is also in your repositories | 07:34 |
| amichai | kkathman: but limewire isnt, or is it? cos that is also listed and the ati driver i downloaded from www.ati.com is also. in addition to fglrx | 07:35 |
| kkathman | generally, if you see a pkg on a site, its good to check to see if its in your repositories by doing an apt-cache search on it | 07:35 |
| amichai | kkathman: ok | 07:35 |
| kkathman | I could be wrong, but I am almost certain that those gui's only work on apt-get like things | 07:36 |
| amichai | i'll look into it | 07:36 |
| amichai | anyone know how i can change my background image for my home folder? | 07:36 |
| kkathman | you can check...just do an apt-cache search on the pkg | 07:36 |
| === amichai is now known as yahalom | ||
| kkathman | on JUST the home folder? | 07:37 |
| yahalom | kkathman: on all of them, just my background is blue and it makes my letters seem faded | 07:37 |

| yahalom | kkathman: still looking, its not in the control center | 07:43 |
| kkathman | yeah I stand corrected on that | 07:44 |
| kkathman | but I know Ive seen that someplace | 07:44 |
| Cybermagellan | Anyone here using Kubuntu on a Mac? | 07:44 |
| neom | I'm using it on a pc, does that count? :) | 07:45 |
| Cybermagellan | Um, no | 07:45 |
| yahalom | kkathman: ok i found how to change the text color, that is in konqueror | 07:45 |
| Cybermagellan | But thanks for playing | 07:45 |
| yahalom | kkathman: my konqui crashes quite a bit, any ideas? | 07:46 |
| kkathman | yahalom yep I knew how to do that...my backgound in konq is like a watermark K | 07:46 |
| kkathman | yahalom: I dont have any probs with konq, but then I dont use it for browsing...I use Firefox or Opera | 07:47 |
| yahalom | kkathman: yeah i remember. so how did u changed ur background in konqui? | 07:47 |
| yahalom | kkathman: my issue is when i watch a live stream in konqui it loads to 30% and then crashes | 07:48 |
| kkathman | yahalom: hmmm..I didnt change my background in konq...its always been that watermark K | 07:51 |
| kkathman | yahalom: you probably should use totem as your default stream watcher | 07:51 |
| kkathman | thats what I did | 07:52 |
| yahalom | kkathman: so just change the default, ok i'll see | 07:52 |
| kkathman | But totem has its own issues...it always opens to near fullscreen so you have to constantly adjust it | 07:52 |
| kkathman | yahalom: yes you do that in control center under components and file associations | 07:53 |
| kkathman | but on my system totem was the default | 07:53 |
| yahalom | kkathman: how do i change the defautl player? i'm in the control center, dont see anythign there | 07:53 |

| yahalom | kkathman: damn it. still crashes | 08:00 |
| kkathman | I think Totem is a Gnome application | 08:00 |
| yahalom | kkathman: yes | 08:00 |
| kkathman | and I installed using hoary ubuntu, and that made totem my default | 08:00 |
| kkathman | so hence the difference, kaboodle is the KDE app | 08:01 |

| yahalom | kkathman: i use kaffeine and kplayer | 08:01 |
| kkathman | I was thinking that when you install straight hoary, it would make totem the default, but if you installed via kubuntu, it would make kaboodle the default | 08:02 |
| kkathman | kaffeine is a good audio player, but you have to watch it, it takes over the CPU | 08:02 |
| kkathman | even when you shut it down | 08:02 |
| kkathman | hmm 6 updates today | 08:03 |
| kkathman | been lots of updates to hoary lately | 08:03 |
| yahalom | kkathman: kplayer is really simple and good | 08:03 |

| Livingstone__ | kcontrol samba part doenst work :'( | 08:10 |
| kkathman | And part of that problem is that the linux "culture" poo poo's any commercial involvement, and for those kinds of apps, you need commericial involvement | 08:10 |
| kkathman | samba doesnt work for you Livingstone__ ? | 08:11 |
| Livingstone__ | samba works fine | 08:11 |
| kkathman | oh ok | 08:12 |
| Livingstone__ | its the kde samba configurator kcmsamba | 08:12 |
| kkathman | ohhh | 08:12 |
| kkathman | hmm | 08:12 |
| kkathman | I configured my samba manually anyway | 08:12 |
| kkathman | its basically just the smb.conf file and then setting up a credentials file | 08:13 |
| Livingstone__ | yes, thats the best options, but just want to enjoy the kcmsamba for first time | 08:13 |
| KaiL | uhm, we already have some samba conf tool in kubuntu, so why use another? | 08:13 |
| kkathman | like I said...I didnt use it at all | 08:14 |

| Livingstone__ | its in user mode, I press admin mode and just hangs | 08:14 |

| kkathman | and I used your script | 08:18 |
| KaiL | sudo apt-get --reinstall install kdenetwork-filesharing | 08:18 |
| kkathman | KaiL: they did fix all the kdelibs issues, so if they re-release that it will be ok? | 08:18 |

| ksut | I seem to message repeating infinitely about running a disk image on MacOS X | 08:36 |
| ksut | when I type firefox | 08:36 |

| thoreauputic | _simple: you need at least main and preferably universe : also the security repos | 08:48 |
| thoreauputic | _simple: add multiverse if you need non-free codecs and such | 08:49 |
| _simple | i might need it, i know nothing | 08:49 |

| Cybermagellan | Anyone using Kubuntu on a Mac? | 09:01 |
| Cybermagellan | for some reason my mac wont burn the .iso | 09:01 |
| thoreauputic | Cybermagellan: known issue - it's a bug in the mac CD burning utility | 09:02 |
| Cybermagellan | So how can I burn it? | 09:02 |
| Cybermagellan | Can't on a PC can I? | 09:02 |
| thoreauputic | Cybermagellan: do you have another non-mac box you can access? That would be easiest | 09:02 |
| Cybermagellan | I have a PC yeah.... | 09:03 |
| thoreauputic | Cybermagellan: sure you can burn the ISO on a PC | 09:03 |
| Cybermagellan | That's what I'm on right now.... | 09:03 |
| thoreauputic | it's just an iso | 09:03 |
| Cybermagellan | Since when could PC's burn Mac? | 09:03 |
| thoreauputic | Cybermagellan: you aren't burning "Mac" you're burning an .ISO image :) | 09:03 |
| thoreauputic | which in this case is a Linux distro CD anyway | 09:04 |
| Cybermagellan | Right...I thought the file systems were different and the way they were burnt | 09:04 |
| Cybermagellan | It's wierd burning Kubuntu from Ubuntu | 09:04 |
| thoreauputic | >ISO *is* a file system | 09:04 |
| Cybermagellan | OK, so it just compacts the way it is supposed to be laid out? | 09:05 |
| thoreauputic | Cybermagellan: don't worry about the technicalities - just burn it as an iso | 09:05 |
| Cybermagellan | LOL....I am | 09:06 |
| thoreauputic | Cybermagellan: right click the file in Nautilus and choose burn | 09:06 |

| Cybermagellan | do I still have to press c when booting | 09:06 |
| Cybermagellan | yeah I am burning now | 09:06 |
| thoreauputic | Cybermagellan: yes, press c to boot a CD | 09:06 |
| Cybermagellan | right | 09:06 |
| thoreauputic | Cybermagellan: if it's a laptop you might have to insert the CD while OS-X is running, then rebooot holding down "c" | 09:07 |

| yahalom | Octane: it doesnt make sense that kubuntu wouldnt have worked though | 09:48 |
| Octane | yahalom: im not worried about the past, just about what i should install now | 09:48 |
| yahalom | Octane: i recommend u install ubuntu, and then apt-get kubuntu-desktop | 09:49 |
| yahalom | Octane: then u'll have gnome and kde | 09:49 |

| thoreauputic | msb: or select full screen in the GUI of course | 09:53 |

| yahalom | Octane: just get ubuntu if u want to try it. any problem u have u should find help here or on ubuntu, ppl usually help. | 09:54 |

| yahalom | or just look for me and i'll try and help u. | 09:54 |

| yahalom | Octane: i dont. i use kubuntu. | 09:58 |
| Octane | i mean ubuntu then installing kubuntu | 09:58 |
| yahalom | Octane: its just i found that installing ubuntu and then apt-getting kubuntu gives u gnome and some settings seemed different whcih i prefered, the truth is i'm sure you can sort that out by installing kubuntu. | 09:59 |
