| nate__ | it simplifies your life | 02:05 |
| Tm_T | nah | 02:05 |
| Tm_T | root <3 | 02:05 |
| Firetech | be c areful, sudo -s keeps your own shell's environment variables. $HOME is still your home dir... | 02:06 |
| Firetech | to become real root: either "sudo su" or "sudo -i" | 02:06 |
| Firetech | gnite. | 02:06 |
| nate__ | Firetech, I actually like keeping the same environment variables | 02:06 |
| _Simon_ | night Firetech, thanks | 02:08 |
| _Simon_ | gonna take awhile to remember sudo -s lol | 02:09 |
| _Simon_ | I feel like such a noob, veering away from fedora/redhat has programmed me expecting where things are | 02:09 |
| _Simon_ | curious to learn ubuntu package management, I found redhat slowly getting better but (don't flame me) compared to the windows world, installations were still a huge DEP war | 02:10 |
| Tm_T | _Simon_: well, debian way is the easy way ;p | 02:11 |
| _Simon_ | I found yum and rpm much better than the old systems | 02:11 |

| _Simon_ | ahh got it, had to comment out 2 lines in Xaccess | 03:29 |
| _Simon_ | yay finally hehe thanks Riddell | 03:31 |
| digby | what is XDCMP? | 03:31 |
| _Simon_ | its a UDP chooser protocol for remote X | 03:31 |
| digby | ah | 03:31 |
| _Simon_ | you run a X client that supports XDMCP, and you get like a list of PC's on your network | 03:32 |
| _Simon_ | and you click one and connect | 03:32 |
| digby | cool | 03:32 |
| digby | if I had more than one computer, I'd have to play with that...haha | 03:32 |
| _Simon_ | well my linux box is my dev machine, so I have no monitor, I like remote X since its so fast | 03:32 |
| _Simon_ | and I'm deciding for the first time in years, to try another distro than fedora/redhat | 03:33 |
| digby | I haven't even been using linux for a year, really | 03:33 |
| _Simon_ | cool | 03:33 |
| digby | getting the bugs ironed out slowly... lots of fun doing it, though | 03:34 |
| _Simon_ | curious why theres no icons on the kubuntu desktop by default hehe | 03:35 |
| _Simon_ | ops kicker crashed | 03:35 |
| digby | you know anything about running gtk apps in kde? | 03:37 |

| sproingie | i do wish it had a better set of kicker icons | 03:41 |

| brandonn | rogerhc: do you have sshd installed? | 06:32 |
| rogerhc | locate sshd finds only one file, a config file. So I think I probably don't have sshd installed. | 06:34 |
| brandonn | install openssh-server | 06:35 |
| brandonn | unless you have a firewall running, that should be all you need to do | 06:35 |
| rogerhc | brandonn: thanks! trying it now. :-) | 06:36 |
| brandonn | you'll probably also want openssh-client so that you can ssh to other machines | 06:37 |
| rogerhc | brandonn: thanks. openssh-client is already installed as port of the stardard kubuntu installation. thanks though. | 06:40 |
| roque | solo servir internet por ahora | 06:41 |
| rogerhc | brandonn: ssh is working now. Thanks. While looking for a way to get this working I read on the Web that Ubuntu has by default all ports closed to inbound requests. Do you know if this is so? | 06:45 |
| === kkathman [~kkathman@h-69-3-74-243.dllatx37.dynamic.covad.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| brandonn | hmm, I wouldn't think that is so unless you have a firewall, but, as you can see, I don't think it has very many services running by default | 06:48 |
| rogerhc | brandonn: ah, not many services running by default, maybe that's it. Didn't think to install the ssh server. Glad you are here! :-) Where can I see a list of every service my system has running? | 06:50 |
| rogerhc | Yes, I now recall reading on the Web that because no services are running by default there need not be any default firewall. | 06:51 |
| brandonn | netstat -at |grep LISTEN | 06:51 |
| rogerhc | Thanks. That shows some stuff listening to local.host and the now running ssh. Is there a default location/file where I can configure what I want running? | 06:54 |
| rogerhc | Obviously I have to install the related servers if they are not installed. And that is a separate step that would come first. | 06:55 |
| brandonn | yeah, let me check, I know how to do it by hand, but I'm sure there i sa better way | 06:56 |
| rogerhc | Is there a config file for it? (GUIs are helpful sometimes but I like to know where the real config file is, even if I don't know the syntax well enough yet to do it by hand.) | 06:59 |
| brandonn | well, all services are started out of /etc/rc*.d (usually /etc/rc2.d) | 07:03 |
| brandonn | you'll see a bunch of scripts in there that start with S, to disable one, just change the name to start with "s" | 07:03 |
| rogerhc | brandonn: Okay, I understand that. And those are links to stuff in /etc/init.d. Do I need to mess at all with inetd.conf? | 07:07 |
| brandonn | it's possible, but fewer and fewer services are started out of inetd | 07:08 |
| === spanglesontoast [~spangles@eddland.plus.com] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| rogerhc | Ah, that is good. I don't understand the format of inetd.conf and it's man page didn't help me understand it much. So I will try to ignore inetd.conf! :-) | 07:09 |
| brandonn | well, basically any service you don't want started out of inetd.conf, put a # in front of it | 07:12 |
| brandonn | although there may not be anything in your inetd.conf by default, mine has identd in it, but I think I installed that myself | 07:12 |
| rogerhc | hm, I think they *all* had an # in front of it by default. So maybe I need to mess in there (remove the # where appropriate) sometimes? | 07:13 |
| === mrmanic is away (going offline) | ||
| === mrmanic is now known as mrmanic|afk | ||

| Alex[RM-UK] | Hey, | 10:54 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | When I installed Kubuntu, I wasn't ask at any stage on what packages I wanted to install. Is there a way of selecting what paclages are installed? | 10:55 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | To choose them to install I mean | 10:55 |
| MichaelDiederich | you can stop the guide at some point, but i am not sure where | 10:55 |
| MichaelDiederich | by pressing CTRL+C | 10:56 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | Oh you can stop it automayicly going to the next one? | 10:56 |
| MichaelDiederich | the installer will stop, you can boot but no X is installed.. I just got this by try&error once, so i don't sure | 10:56 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | ahh right, | 10:57 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | I did click the GO BACK option on one of the sections, and it took me to the main screen | 10:57 |
| gdh | Alex[RM-UK] : Why not let the installer run, then add new packages /afterwards/ ? | 10:57 |
| MichaelDiederich | i think, he will not have all installed | 10:57 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | Yeh I know, but I am not sure what half the packages installed are :P | 10:57 |
| gdh | the whole point of the installer was to ask the bare minimum of questions possible for the best user experience :) | 10:57 |
| gdh | Use kynaptic to see the installed ones, or 'dpkg -l' | 10:58 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | I know, but an option on what to install would be great | 10:58 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | Yeh im doing that now.....but to uninstall indeverdual packages i's asking me to uninstall like KDE multimedia | 10:58 |
| gdh | kdemultimedia will be a metapackage | 10:59 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | I right click Amarok and Juk to uninstall, then it wants to remove KDE Desktop | 10:59 |
| gdh | it will not do any harm to remove it | 10:59 |
| gdh | it won't suddenly remove all your music players etc. | 10:59 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | no, but there are some parts of multimedia I want | 10:59 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | oh, so it will only get rid of Amarok? | 10:59 |
| gdh | it will only remove the packages you've asked it to | 10:59 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | it automayicly selects other packages that I dont want to uninstall though | 11:00 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | some of them wanted to remove kdebase :S | 11:00 |
| gdh | If it really were going to remove all the packages installed by 'kdemultimedia' then it would remove akode (>= 4:3.3.2-1), artsbuilder (>= 4:3.3.2-1), juk (>= 4:3.3.2-1), kaboodle (>= 4:3.3.2-1), kaudiocreator (>= 4:3.3.2-1), kdemultimedia-kappfinder-data etc. | 11:00 |
| gdh | (pasted from my Debian machine, but the logic is the same) | 11:00 |
| gdh | You must have chosen something pretty fundamental to remove if it wanted to remove kdebase :) | 11:01 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | I see what you mean | 11:01 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | ok let me see if this works | 11:01 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | well, I@m still alive :P | 11:02 |
| gdh | :) | 11:02 |
| Firetech | Alex[RM-UK] : you can do the server installation, that won't give you any unneeded packages (not even X, tough...) | 11:04 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | then to get KDE I type at console apt-get KDE ? | 11:04 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | nah actually, I'll stick with removing things | 11:05 |

| Tm_T | hi kids | 11:41 |
| Alex[RM-UK] | hello | 11:41 |
| gdh | morn' | 11:42 |
| nxv_ | how to automaticaly start dovcote at startup? staring dovcote wiht /usr/sbin/dovcote works /etc/init.d/dovecot start does't | 11:43 |
| nxv_ | doesn't | 11:43 |
| gdh | perhaps edit /etc/default/dovecot if it exists? | 11:43 |
| gdh | I'd reckon there'll be a clue in there. | 11:44 |
| Tm_T | why not to add link to ~/kde/Autostart/ | 11:44 |
| gdh | Tm_T: Wouldn't that only start the server when you log in? | 11:44 |
| Tm_T | what is dovecot anyway? | 11:45 |
| nxv_ | and i guess to start it by init.d is cleaner | 11:45 |
| nxv_ | very simple imap server | 11:45 |
| Tm_T | ah ok | 11:45 |
| Tm_T | then it should be in init | 11:45 |

| MichaelDiederich | thats 1.0.4 in "wrong" version coding | 01:07 |
| Tm_T | yyea | 01:07 |
| gdh | the idea is a stable release is that - stable in terms of features and changes.. | 01:07 |

| slow-motion | i dont know where the source is | 07:17 |
| dooglio | must be in the multiverse | 07:20 |
| dooglio | just install, for example, mplayer-586 | 07:21 |

| slow-motion | it says some dependencies missing | 07:21 |

| === ubuntu [~ubuntu@81-208-36-84.fastres.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| nakata | if you never use the 'locate' command, and really want to get rid of updatedb, i suggest removing that updatedb call from your anacron config and replacing your 'locate' calls with 'find' calls, which is slower and more intensive | 08:18 |
| nakata | otherwise, i would suggest checking why updatedb is crashing | 08:18 |
| Soyburg | how can I do so? any hints? | 08:18 |
| nakata | 1) partially mounted filesystem, 2) corrupt filesystem, 3) lack of RAM (swap), 4) too many damn files (see 3) | 08:18 |

| Soyburg | nakata: Would you have any idea where I should look for the "line 12" bit of the error message? Or is that in cron.daily? (which would probably just the invocation of slocate?) | 08:25 |

| philipacamaniac | cyber23: how far along are you in installing the ati drivers? | 08:59 |
| cyber23 | having even started yet | 08:59 |
| cyber23 | trying to find out what drivers I need for the kernel and xorg | 09:00 |
| Soyburg | For some odd reason kynaptic wants me to insert the disk labeled Kubuntu 5.04_Hoary Hedgehog - Release i386 (20050407) in drive /cdrom/ | 09:00 |
| thoreauputic | Soyburg: because the top line in /etc/apt/sources.list needs to be removed or commented out | 09:00 |
| thoreauputic | it refers to the install CD | 09:01 |
| Soyburg | thanks. should I kill kynaptic and then do it again? | 09:01 |
| Soyburg | or will kynaptic read in the sources.list while in progress? | 09:01 |
| thoreauputic | *shrug* depends whether you mind using the CD | 09:01 |
| Soyburg | I could always insert the cd of course. | 09:02 |
| thoreauputic | Soyburg: no, you need to restart kynaptic after editing and update | 09:02 |
| Soyburg | thanks. | 09:02 |
| thoreauputic | if you wanrt it to stop asking, that is... | 09:02 |

| nmorse | Surely Sweden has something like that | 11:07 |
| philipacamaniac | nakata: don't worry, I didn't do that college thing either... went straight into a computer career | 11:07 |
| Firetech | high-school... what ages are that? | 11:08 |
| nmorse | 14-18 usually | 11:08 |
| philipacamaniac | so 19-22 is "college" or "university" age | 11:08 |
| Firetech | then I kind of would be in High School... | 11:08 |
| Firetech | I'm in eleventh grade totally. I started school when I was seven | 11:09 |
| philipacamaniac | yes, probably a 12th grader, also known as a Senior | 11:09 |
| philipacamaniac | oh okay a Junior | 11:09 |
| Firetech | I'm ending my eleventrh grade next week | 11:09 |
| nmorse | Boy, you Europeans get out of school late | 11:09 |
| philipacamaniac | define late | 11:10 |
| nmorse | We though May 20 for graduation here was late | 11:10 |
| nmorse | We're used to May 9 | 11:10 |
| philipacamaniac | unless you're referring to the traditional US school calendar | 11:10 |
| Firetech | next year, we party because we have taken the "studenten" after ending "gymnasiet" (kind of High school, grades 10-12) | 11:10 |
| philipacamaniac | cool | 11:10 |
| philipacamaniac | so what comes after 12th grade in Sweden? | 11:11 |
| Firetech | University | 11:11 |
| === kkathman [~kkathman@h-69-3-74-243.dllatx37.dynamic.covad.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| philipacamaniac | is there a University of Sweden (probably not called that)? | 11:11 |
| Firetech | Sometimes "Hgskola" for some special areas of education... | 11:11 |
| nmorse | Yeah, you'd have to be enrolled in Unversity to qualify for Google's Summer of Code | 11:11 |
| Firetech | I wouldn't go for it this year anyway | 11:12 |
| nmorse | Or accepted to a uni | 11:12 |
| philipacamaniac | okay Hgskola looks really funny in windoze | 11:12 |
| nmorse | I would bet, Windows doesn't do anything properly | 11:13 |
| philipacamaniac | no unicode support or something... who do they think they are | 11:13 |
| nmorse | I tried to install SP2 on my laptop the other day, and now Safe Mode even dumps to a BSOD on boot | 11:13 |
| Firetech | "Hgskola" is directly translated into High School (but it's not the same thing as the amerixan High School)... It's a form of University too... | 11:13 |
| _osh | philipacamaniac: They think they're the industry leader. And they're right. | 11:13 |
| nmorse | Like a vocational school? Where you learn a specific skill? | 11:13 |
| philipacamaniac | _osh: I'm here to change that... | 11:14 |
| _osh | philipacamaniac: I wish you the best of luck. I really do. :-) | 11:14 |
| === philipacamaniac starts thinking about a massive, worldwide revolt against proprietary software | ||
| Firetech | I think I'll go to LTH ("Lunds Tekniska Hgskola", "Lund Institute Of Technology - Lund University" in English) | 11:15 |
| philipacamaniac | _osh: well, since I'm actually using windows as we speak, I'll need all the luck I can get | 11:15 |
| nmorse | no joke, philipacamaniac | 11:15 |
| nmorse | We need nice Russian Revolution, but against proprietary software, just maybe no executions | 11:16 |
| _osh | Firetech: I think Hgskola is actually translated to community-collage. | 11:16 |
| Firetech | well I don't know foreign school termss | 11:16 |
| gdh | Bill G should be first against the wall.. or better we should leave him at the south pole (?) surrounded by penguins :) | 11:17 |
| nmorse | Put him on the Galapagos Islands and let him sweat to death surrounded by penguins | 11:17 |
| nmorse | No pasty white guy can survive the tropics | 11:17 |
| gdh | Heh, now that I would watch.. it'd sure beat Big Bother | 11:17 |
| === philipacamaniac drops his jaw in horror at the thought of Linux-Nazis, and quietly recalls his revolution | ||
| === Kyaneos [~kyaneos@2.Red-83-46-69.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| nmorse | Yes, because the BSDs would be next | 11:18 |
| nmorse | And everyone loves the BSDs | 11:18 |
| === _osh has been totally windows free since the XP-computer he got from his company died and got Debianized. ;-) Pushing 2yrs now. | ||
| nmorse | But Nazis always get overzealous | 11:18 |
| === nmorse can't find a way to get Rome: Total War to run on Linux | ||
| nmorse | It won't even install, not even with dx9wine | 11:19 |
| philipacamaniac | There are just a couple pro-audio programs that are keeping my laptop on Windoze | 11:19 |
| philipacamaniac | not even with cedega cvs? | 11:19 |
| gdh | philipacamaniac: Would it not be better to run then inside VMware / qemu, rather than dual-boot? :) | 11:19 |
| nmorse | Cedega claims it won't install on theirs | 11:19 |
| nmorse | Haven't even bothered to try it because they say it won't work | 11:20 |
| philipacamaniac | gdh: I'm not even dual-booting my laptop (its a work laptop). My desktop and all my computers at home run kubuntu | 11:20 |
| philipacamaniac | gdh: and I use a real-time synthesizer, with an external musical keyboard. not sure that will work too well :( | 11:21 |
| gdh | MIDI runs at 31250 baud. I think that's within the realms of possibility to run in realtime without drops :) | 11:22 |
| === Firetech has been windows free for two months, except for some school work via vmware... My Windows installation broke during the migration to Linux :) | ||

| nmorse | The Scandinavian countries have done a lot for linux and open source | 11:24 |
| === Firetech is proud :D | ||
| gdh | Is it all dance bollocks or real music? | 11:24 |
| philipacamaniac | reason is open source, sadly... | 11:24 |
| philipacamaniac | It is everything, dance, techno, rock, rap and hip hop | 11:24 |

| Firetech | nmorse: especially Finland... ;) | 11:25 |
| nmorse | Indeed, good old Linux Torvalds and the Helsinki Institute | 11:25 |
| philipacamaniac | I have an exchange student from Finland | 11:25 |
| gdh | philipacamaniac: What did you swap? :) | 11:26 |
| Firetech | don't say perkele to him :P | 11:26 |
| gdh | "I gave away my t-shirt and all I got was this lousy finnish student" | 11:26 |
| Firetech | nmorse: His name is Linus, not Linux. | 11:26 |
| philipacamaniac | heh, no not me personally... I work at a school, and I'm teaching a summer school class with a finnish exchange student | 11:26 |

| gdh | Hm, let's call the whole thing in a state of zero power application. | 11:28 |
| philipacamaniac | devil isn't such a bad word, maybe it has another meaning | 11:29 |
| nmorse | The whole Linus/Linux thing wouldn't be so bad if the two keys didn't use the same finger | 11:29 |
| Firetech | :P | 11:30 |
| philipacamaniac | regardless, I'll avoid the word (or any finnish word) | 11:31 |
| philipacamaniac | She knows enough english | 11:31 |
| Firetech | anybody know a good touch typing learning software for linux? | 11:31 |

| Firetech | kaxi [kaaxee] means two | 11:33 |
| nmorse | At least Finnish apparently has vowels | 11:33 |
| nmorse | Sure beats Welsh | 11:33 |
| Firetech | summer of code only has room for 200 developers... | 11:33 |
| Firetech | I think I might do some voluntary work this summer... | 11:34 |
| nmorse | Having quit my job, I was hoping to get paid | 11:34 |
| philipacamaniac | It doesn't have vowels when you hear it | 11:34 |
| Brazmetal | Hey people, I have Winxp and Kubuntu installed (usign grub as boot manager)... Now I have to format the win partition and re-install the SO... But I know that this will erase the bootsect, I would like to know what I have to do... | 11:34 |
| nmorse | And I doubt many other code bounties will pay to 17 year olds either | 11:35 |
| nmorse | I could fix KGetHotNewStuff and get paid for that | 11:35 |
| nmorse | I think | 11:36 |
| philipacamaniac | Brazmetal: you'd have to reinstall grub after doing the windows install | 11:36 |
| philipacamaniac | I'm trying to think how you might do that | 11:37 |
| Brazmetal | yes ehehee | 11:37 |
| nmorse | Not a problem, Brazmetal | 11:37 |
| Brazmetal | Maybe I have to make a ubuntu boot disk? | 11:37 |
| nmorse | Use a normal rescue CD, boot into Ubuntu and just run the proper Grub command | 11:37 |
| nmorse | Not as easy as a 'lilo /dev/hda' but it will work | 11:38 |
| Brazmetal | nmorse ehehe.. But How can I make a rescue disk? | 11:38 |
| philipacamaniac | that was my confusion... I have a billion solutions in my head that involve lilo | 11:38 |
| philipacamaniac | knoppix or kubuntu live | 11:38 |
| Brazmetal | don't have any of them.. :( | 11:39 |
| nmorse | A woody install disc | 11:39 |
| nmorse | Never fails | 11:39 |
| philipacamaniac | or even your kubuntu cd | 11:39 |
| Brazmetal | philipacamaniac how? | 11:39 |
| philipacamaniac | i mean ubuntu | 11:39 |
| Brazmetal | isn't there a utility to make a ubuntu boot disk? | 11:40 |
| Brazmetal | ? | 11:41 |
| _Church_of_Foamy | yes | 11:41 |
| philipacamaniac | yes | 11:41 |
| Brazmetal | what? | 11:42 |
| gdh | sure, 'wget' :) | 11:42 |
| philipacamaniac | ? | 11:42 |
| nmorse | Like a floppy disc? | 11:42 |
| gdh | am being silly, ignore me :) | 11:42 |
| nmorse | I don't think the linux kernel can even fit on a floppy anymore | 11:42 |
| philipacamaniac | I had one in slackware | 11:43 |
| philipacamaniac | but that was lilo and linux 2.4 | 11:43 |
| Brazmetal | ok... but how can I do it with the Kubuntu disc? | 11:43 |

| Brazmetal | philipacamaniac ohhh thanks!!!! | 11:44 |
| philipacamaniac | boot: rescue looks pretty useful | 11:45 |
