[12:36] By offering the same applets and icons for both the desktop and the panel, including seamless drag and drop between them, Plasma will break the barrier between the these two desktop elements. If the user wants to move the clock from a panel to the desktop, they should be able to. Anything that works on the desktop should work the same on the panels, and vice versa. [12:37] What packages do I install for the kernel sources? [12:37] Why is the latest kernel package different than the latest kernel source package? [12:37] Because Debian Sid is what Ubuntu is based on and they actually take a look at security issues in each kernel before releasing it (or so I hear) [12:38] More than ever before, people are demanding gorgeous interfaces built on sophisticated graphic design. Using the new graphics capabilities available with KDE4, Plasma will look dead sexy. If you've seen SuperKaramba widgets, then you've seen the beginning of what is possible. [12:38] :D [12:38] I read the page, and I'm kind of excited about the Superkaramba devel working on it [12:39] yeha [12:39] :D [12:39] Now, if only they'll keep Python as a possible language for this kind of devel work [12:39] Makes it easier for ordianary users to do so [12:39] I read something about Python scripting being in all this [12:39] That's good [12:39] someone wanting Pearl also [12:39] Though it looked to me to be primarily C++ based, which is pretty good for it [12:40] The idea of the fuzzy clock on the desktop appeals to me for some undefinable reason [12:40] hehe [12:40] screenshots...

[01:46] Consty: but the trademark is the keypoint in this converstion [01:46] your* [01:46] consty, no [01:46] <_Church_of_FoamY> ok i misstated that lol [01:47] <_Church_of_FoamY> even if he did do just the basics it's still awsome [01:47] yes, Linus owns the trademark, and he can sell it [01:47] but I don't think he ever whould, if he don't know it'll remain free [01:47] <_Church_of_FoamY> i just can't beleve that 1000's of people all over the world made it and it runs so good [01:47] Dang, I know a Mike Digby that lives in Florida and I saw you had road runner as your isp. They're the most popular broadband isp there, so I thought. [01:47] Guess not. :P [01:47] nope [01:48] just a name a friend and I made up to get a Kroger card... :) [01:49] So whats this I hear about Kubuntu having some issues with Firefox? Anyone heard of it? [01:49] <_Church_of_FoamY> nope [01:49] "I'm doing a (free) operating system (just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu) for 386(486) AT clones." - Linus [01:49] <_Church_of_FoamY> i haven't had one problem with this os or any of it's programs [01:50] oh, I've had problems, but I enjoy the tinkering [01:50] Read that it hangs during java/flash installation and during initial loading. [01:50] nmorse, you still there? [01:50] Taking forever to download the dvd iso of kubuntu... bleh [01:50] <_freak> holysmokes... kopete just got my old buddylist? When I had to reinstall AIM itself, *it* didn't get my old buddy list. Very impressed. [01:51] there is a dvd iso of kubuntu??? === JensK [~JensK@p54903EC6.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu [01:51] How is kopete anyway? Is it as nice as gaim? [01:51] <_Church_of_FoamY> yea you'll be impressed by a lot [01:51] <_freak> just opened it for the first time just now. [01:51] <_freak> and I've never used gaim. [01:51] I like the gaim interface better... but only a little [01:51] <_Church_of_FoamY> i am very impressed because "it just works" ^_^ [01:51] <_Church_of_FoamY> i use kopete [01:52] <_freak> just a week into this, and I've spent that getting wireless going, video better, and trying to get sound. :) [01:52] Yeah, i'm here [01:52] digby: Yeah I'm downloading the dvd iso that has the live cd and install cd in one. [01:52] <_Church_of_FoamY> yea the first few weeks i figure are going towards tweaking your box to your lkes [01:52] <_freak> lol, yeah foamy. [01:52] digby: So you can use the cd to boot live cd or install it if you want. Pretty nice. [01:52] I don't like Kopete's interface [01:52] cool [01:52] <_Church_of_FoamY> i'm still tweaking mine lol [01:53] <_Church_of_FoamY> niether do i in some respects but to me it's easyer than gaim [01:53] have to download using bt though [01:53] I shouldn't have to right-click on little lightbulb icon to access normal jabber features like joining chat rooms [01:53] Anyone know of the nvidia driver set is included with kubuntu? [01:53] <_freak> Here's a stupid newbie question. Uh, what's a .patch file? [01:53] It allows you to apply a patch [01:53] <_Church_of_FoamY> sudo apt-get install invidia-glx [01:53] Using the patch command no less [01:53] nmorse, [01:54] Sometimes I think the NIX guys made stuff repetitive [01:54] and redundant [01:54] for a higher purpose [01:54] <_Church_of_FoamY> and sudo nvidia-glx-config enable [01:54] yeah, error403? [01:54] you want my config file to make XChat put the format in? [01:55] Never used apt before, I've mostly used distros like Slackware that dont really include very good package management systems [01:55] apt <3 [01:55] lol [01:55] <_Church_of_FoamY> well then your prepaird for a treat [01:55] <_freak> yeah, apt rocks... [01:55] apt > all [01:55] <_Church_of_FoamY> i know it's awsome [01:55] I used ports though in crux and freebsd [01:55] I heard its a lot like that. === _duende [~duende@stjh1-0845.nl.aliant.net] has joined #kubuntu [01:56] <_Church_of_FoamY> some one recommended a linux distro to me earlyer what was it? [01:56] <_Church_of_FoamY> freeBSD? [01:56] FreeBSD is not a Linux distro [01:56] BSD is not linux [01:57] haha [01:57] <_Church_of_FoamY> oh ok [01:57] And I'll be honest with you, this is pretty much the "first" linux community that hasn't been a bunch of arrogant people that seem to think they know it all and have almost no intentions of helping someone else who knows less. [01:57] So really impressed by that. [01:57] No, error403, I mostly use Konversation these days [01:57] <_Church_of_FoamY> than what was the os that was recommended [01:57] lol [01:57] ok [01:57] <_Church_of_FoamY> i use it to i like the way it "feels" === digby can't be arrogant because he's still a noob too! [01:58] SkyOS looks really cool. www.skyos.org [01:58] Might want to try that. === nmorse probably could be, having installed Debian 2.1 before and used dselect, but actually likes helping people for some unknown reason [01:58] debian-floppies is the worst installer ever [01:58] no [01:58] Debian installer <3 [01:59] <_Church_of_FoamY> wow is it neat lookin [01:59] SkyOS does look neat, but the lack of hardware support deters me [01:59] Yeah, its still early. [01:59] Tm_T, not debian-installer, which I like, but the woody installer [01:59] It's not based off any previous kernels though from what I understand. Totally new.. which means a totally new set of vulnerabilities [02:00] When you do the install for kubuntu is there any option to disable the graphical login during install? [02:00] <_Church_of_FoamY> someone told me about reactos today [02:00] nmorse: it was just great [02:00] I can do it manually, just curious if you can do it or not. [02:00] based off wine, right, Church? [02:00] <_Church_of_FoamY> it dosen't do much [02:00] <_Church_of_FoamY> not that i know of [02:00] nmorse: way too much choices though ;p [02:00] No, it definitely wasn't Tm_T [02:00] I remember the first time I used dselect [02:01] <_Church_of_FoamY> it dosen't even have usb support yet [02:01] I was scared witless [02:01] haha [02:01] <_Church_of_FoamY> but is supposidly compatable with windows [02:01] nmorse: I was excited [02:01] <_Church_of_FoamY> i tryed a live cd of it it really kinda sucked [02:01] yeah [02:01] I'd never really used anything but Macs up until then [02:01] <_Church_of_FoamY> even though it looks nice [02:01] <_Church_of_FoamY> kinda like win nt/2000 [02:01] IF you wan't a good live-cd, take knoppix [02:02] I use it as rescue cd =) [02:02] knoppix doesn't even have nvidia driver support built into its hal! I mean come on [02:02] <_Church_of_FoamY> i just found out about that one today haven't had a chance to look @ it yet [02:02] moving from all-GUI Macs to command line linux was a bit nuts [02:02] that kinda ticked me :P [02:02] i saw that as "i was scared wireless" [02:02] :) [02:02] <_Church_of_FoamY> someone told me they use it for a file recovery cd for windows at the local university [02:02] haha [02:02] I've probably tried over 20 distros [02:03] haha [02:03] <_Church_of_FoamY> i think i'll stick with this one for now [02:03] <_Church_of_FoamY> it's freindly and the support rocks ^_^ [02:03] The friendly part is the best part. [02:03] i've tried two distros [02:03] er, three [02:03] red hat 8, fedora core 3, and kubuntu [02:03] Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake, Debian, Lindows, Ubuntu, Libranet, Vector, Slackware, CRUX, Arch, Knoppix, Morphix, three live's I can't even name right now, and some more I just can't think of [02:03] kubuntu owns everything else [02:04] ew, lindows [02:04] nmorse: and you decided kubuntu was the best? [02:04] For hardware support and general "It Just Works" factor, yes [02:04] Oh, left Gentoo off that list [02:04] Gentoo.. garbage unless you actually have a fast connection. [02:04] Fast connection, indeed [02:05] <_duende> I have a quick basic linux question, how do i make it so that no matter who makes a file in a directory, it retains ownership of the directory's owner? [02:05] But compile times make it suck worse than 56k ever could [02:05] i will be installing kubuntu on the other boxes i have when i get the time and when i really can't stand fc3 anymore [02:05] Use a cron job, _duende [02:05] <_duende> ok, cool [02:05] nmorse: Yeah true, and its install cds are always way behind like debian in version. [02:05] <_duende> tnx === Ixion83 [~mors@82.249.122.120] has joined #kubuntu [02:05] That way every {day|hour|week|month} it readjusts the permissions [02:06] nmorse: But unlike debian, gentoo isn't always stable with those older versions [02:06] I just fetched everything off the internet [02:06] CD's are always outdated by the time they're made in the F/OSS world [02:06] that's why you have apt-get upgrade... [02:06] or an inotify daemon might work, _duende [02:07] It's true, but it seems like every time I go to get a CD it never supports all the hardware I have in my computer at that time.. dammmn :P [02:07] apt-get dist-upgrade for the brave with bandwidth [02:07] <_duende> nmorse: hrm, i'm not familier with that, i'll read up on it. tnx. [02:07] heh [02:07] I hate having to spend time getting stuff to work right ya know.. I like being able to install and use. Thats why I think kubuntu attracted me. [02:07] Don't waste too much time on it, _duende [02:07] <_duende> lol [02:07] I'm just mulling the idea over, but it's not that feasible right now [02:07] <_duende> well, i usually like to know about commands and stuff that i haven't heard of before [02:07] Laptop hardware support was the clincher for me [02:07] <_duende> cron.daily should do the trick for me [02:08] nmorse: are the nforce and nvidia drivers built into kubuntu? [02:08] I always use the reverse-engineered nforce drivers in the kernel [02:08] <_freak> did dist-upgrade yesterday. By mistake, but what the hell. [02:08] Others here know more about nvidia then I do, as I use an ATI card in the desktop [02:08] <_freak> lol [02:09] Ah, anyone here got a nvidia card that worked without a hitch? [02:09] _duende, check into FAM too [02:09] Consty, yes [02:09] on both my desktop machines with a geforce2 mx400 [02:09] consty, I had to use apt to install the drivers, but it was all of 2 commands to make it work perfectly [02:09] cool, anyone know what version of alsa is included with the 2.6.10 kernel? (thats the one that comes with the iso right)? === jonx [~jonx@80-218-107-38.dclient.hispeed.ch] has joined #kubuntu [02:10] For the really brave, run a real Debian Sid box, and set up a cron.daily 'apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade' [02:10] 1.0.8, Consty [02:10] Did that on a server once [02:10] consty, i'd suggest the packages straight from nvidia [02:10] hmm, think I need to update it then maybe. [02:10] Not smart [02:10] What's the problem, Consty? [02:11] I have a weird soundcard [02:11] <_Church_of_FoamY> i fear having to update my box [02:11] <_Church_of_FoamY> the last time it made my cpu thrash [02:11] <_Church_of_FoamY> and i had to redoo it [02:12] I should say a weird chipset I think. [02:12] <_Church_of_FoamY> so now i'm weary of updateing >.< [02:12] I have a Creative Audigy 2 Value [02:12] <_freak> foamy, I've got an es1879. Been a pain in the butt. [02:12] Not compatible with the ZS value which alsa does support [02:12] Should work with the emu10k1 driver [02:13] <_Church_of_FoamY> theres a new firefox out? [02:13] <_Church_of_FoamY> i will update that as i am a fan of mozilla [02:13] <_freak> Cons, did you see this link? Ubuntu Forums - Hoary Sound Broke? === musikele [musikele@host250-85.pool8249.interbusiness.it] has joined #kubuntu [02:13] hy everybody [02:14] a fan of mozilla, the aptly named huge dinosaur? [02:14] <_Church_of_FoamY> it's so much better than IE [02:14] <_Church_of_FoamY> huh? [02:14] I'd like to tell 2 stupid things [02:14] Firefox is, yeah, but Mozilla (Seamonkey) is slow [02:14] <_Church_of_FoamY> i can't tell if your being serious or sarcastic [02:14] <_freak> guy does a walk thru of installing audigy module. [02:14] Serious, I hate the full Mozilla Suite [02:14] <_Church_of_FoamY> why? [02:14] Reminds me of Netscape 6 [02:15] Even Netscape 7 was faster than many Mozilla builds [02:15] <_Church_of_FoamY> yea but this one works [02:15] Then again, that was back on a 333 mHz iMac G3 with 96MB RAM [02:15] <_Church_of_FoamY> someone recommended opera to me but i've had problems with it in the past [02:15] <_Church_of_FoamY> like it crashed my wionbox [02:15] I may be biased thanks to that experience [02:15] Use Firefox, use Konqueror [02:15] 1) i've tried ubuntu first and then kubuntu, but in this last distribution there is no LAN applet on the bar...! the Gnome one is very intuitive [02:15] <_Church_of_FoamY> don't blame you man [02:16] <_Church_of_FoamY> does opera work better on linux than ms? [02:16] Not particularly, I only use it for web development [02:16] <_Church_of_FoamY> oh ok [02:16] Since its JavaScript implementation is horrible [02:16] <_Church_of_FoamY> so it still sucks [02:17] But it lets me check on stuff like what a site looks like on Opera Embedded [02:17] <_Church_of_FoamY> so it hasen't changed to much in a year lol [02:17] 2) please support smart batteries for laptops, otherwise i can't use my acer!!! [02:17] Using the web developer toolbar [02:17] Smart batteries? [02:17] <_Church_of_FoamY> ?? [02:17] the drivers are on the net but I'm not able to make it work... I'm still a student. [02:17] nmorse: I think it does with th emu10k1 driver, but its only with a very recent version that it works [02:17] there is no LAN applet? [02:17] Hmm [02:17] nmorse: The version that came with Knoppix 3.8 I know works [02:18] yes, smart batteries, all acer laptops have it.. also some toshiba I think [02:18] <_Church_of_FoamY> how is kubuntu with wireless guys? [02:18] <_Church_of_FoamY> i want to switch my network to wireless [02:18] What the heck is a smart battery though? [02:18] <_Church_of_FoamY> i want to know that to [02:18] And how does it differ from a normal battery? [02:18] _Church_of_FoamY I'd like to give a try tomorrow, I'll take the laptop tu university [02:18] nmorse: Yeah, its 1.0.8, so it'll work. Cool [02:18] <_Church_of_FoamY> sweet let me know man [02:18] Consty, go to #alsa for additional help [02:19] They know way more about it than I do === Chislon [~Chislon@24-176-45-129.dhcp.klmz.mi.charter.com] has joined #kubuntu [02:19] <_Church_of_FoamY> i'm gussing that a smart battery is some type of battery with a brain? [02:19] nmorse first of all I think it differs in the interface to the kernel or stuff like that... there is a lot about it on the web, still developing [02:19] <_Church_of_FoamY> maybe it does you homework for you? [02:19] Why would you want an interface to your battery? [02:20] <_Church_of_FoamY> i'm just gussing here guys help me out [02:20] Traditional battery meters have worked for centuries [02:20] just a moment, I'll find the web page on the web [02:20] <_Church_of_FoamY> well make this as game of phillarbust [02:20] Sounds like another proprietary gimmick to me [02:20] <_Church_of_FoamY> yea [02:20] Snorkel! === heath [~heath@pcp0011789866pcs.flrnc01.al.comcast.net] has joined #kubuntu [02:20] Using the smartbattery [02:20] The Travelmate 4001 (and the Extensa 3002 and some other, too) has a so-called "smartbattery". That means, it cannot be accessed in the way kernel-acpi uses but, because it's connected to the SMB-Bus (SMB has nothing to do with Samba or Windows, it's for System Management Bus) it has to be accessed using I2C. [02:20] I took a look around and found some discussions about the smartbatteries on the acpi-devel mailinglist on sourceforge. Somebody (I don't remember his name atm) has written a program to read out smartbattery status, using the i2c interface. It works well on kernel 2.6.10, I haven't tested it on 2.6.9. You can download the programm at http://www.poupinou.org/acpi/smartbatt/. But now there's a nicer way to read out the battery's status [02:20] Sorry, had to take a guess [02:20] <_Church_of_FoamY> i like the batterys that work like well......batterys [02:21] Amen [02:21] <_Church_of_FoamY> samme [02:21] from http://www.uni-koblenz.de/~dbildh/Linux_On_TM4001/ [02:21] Why use an i2c character device to read a battery?

[04:23] Make your own coasters, by burning at 52X on a 14X CD [04:24] Yeah, I put it in myself [04:24] Haven't gotten an update through the temail yet [04:24] probably not, I haven't uploaded any Xfce updates due to the Cxx transition in Breezy [04:25] Ahh, the probably was just that the XFCE4 themes package had a problem involving the themes being in the wrong format [04:25] I just don't know how to redo the format myself [04:25] k, I'll try and look later [04:25] s/probably/problem/ [04:25] jani and I are both pretty busy, but please join the Xfce team (MOTUXfce) [04:25] I might [04:25] What is your opinions on Enlightenment nmorse/crimsun? [04:26] I like e16, looking forward to e17 [04:26] E DR15 was amazing, and DR16 is pretty nice, too [04:26] Wish Ubuntu's e16 had the normal default theme [04:26] Winter, I think is the name [04:26] they modified it? [04:26] what does DR stand for? [04:26] it's a straight import from Debian, so it has whatever Debian configured [04:27] I tried it on Gentoo first, but the E web site said Winter was the new default theme [04:27] Of course, my mouse clicks don't work on the background either for normal and middle click [04:28] I think that may be due to .xsession or .xinitrc though as it doesn't work in XFCE4 either === dwmurphy [davidm@24.131.30.135] has joined #kubuntu === dreumah [~dreumah@spc1-derb1-6-0-cust133.bagu.broadband.ntl.com] has joined #kubuntu [04:30] I was really considering using enlightenment because of how different you can make it look. [04:31] kvirc keeps crashing on me [04:31] To the extent that someone walks in and looks at it and cannot mistake it for a mac or windows clone. [04:31] Yeah, just get a good theme for it [04:31] And enjoy the eye-candy [04:31] And definitely enjoy use of the .enlightenment/backgrounds/ directory [04:32] That way you change wallpapers from the right-click menu by clicking on their thumbnail [04:34] yeah its nice [04:35] just probably a lot of configuration to get it to look the way you want.. do the custom icons for applications usually come with the themes? [04:40] No [04:40] I really wish the gentoo icons were more widely distributed [04:40] They have the best game icon collection anywhere [04:40] game icon collection? what about just regular apps like firefox thunderbird and such [04:41] They usually bring their own along [04:41] It's all about where they are [04:41] Then you just put the path in your .menu file [04:41] oh, and, after apt-get installing enlightenment, how do i use it?

[02:39] i dont understand, the user is different then the person signed in, the user is always that name i put, even if i make another login name for someone else?

[03:24] markc, i think i prefer KDE to Gnome, but, i was suggeswted to install Gnome since i felt i wanted to use open office and fire fox, i know i want to use firefox and thunderbird, openoffice doesnt matter much, its just that thats hwat i have on windows [03:25] what do you mean its a file file browser [03:26] Chislon_: that looks like a typographical error. [03:26] Dreumah> looks like it's Version: 2:2.1.3.1-2 [03:27] Chislon_> you can still use those apps under KDE [03:27] oh === snowseal [~snowseal@adsl-dc-2dd1a.adsl.wanadoo.nl] has joined #kubuntu [03:27] well i jsut installed ubuntu... do i need to instead go an install kubuntu? [03:27] is there a difference between gnome and kde besides looks? [03:28] xfce tho is more gnome like right? so if i want xfce id want to just keep ubuntu? [03:28] Chislon_> no, just apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [03:28] kde: very much features, look&feel similar to Windows [03:29] Chislon_> I have never done that so I can only suggest it probably works okay [03:29] gnome: has lost a lot of features since 1.4 days, look&feel similar to MacOS [03:29] never ceases to amaze me, some of the package names.... like 'kitchensync' [03:29] lol [03:29] oh [03:29] kitchensync is pretty cool [03:29] well and how does xfce compare? [03:29] xfce: very fast, look&feel similar to traditional Unix desktops like CDE [03:30] I only wish the pocketpc konnector supported my phoen [03:30] er, phone [03:30] i did the ubuntu livecd which had gnome, then did freesbie which had xfce, i liked xfce alot better [03:30] ARGH! [03:30] dammit.... [03:30] ? === MoreFX [~christian@p50889471.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #kubuntu [03:31] Sarge starting on a 2.4 kernel [03:31] me shakes my head [03:31] 2.4? [03:31] no? [03:31] and I wanted to ask, if they install udev as default - this should answer that question.... [03:32] how do i install deb package that i downloaded? [03:32] dpkg -i [03:32] how would i disable konqeror as default web-brwoser?

[03:35] markc: with all the apps it seems. Konversation too [03:35] how would i disable konqeror as default web-brwoser? << wrong question. Would be "how would I set xyz as default web-browser?" [03:35] KaiL, i like that xfce is very fast [03:36] KaiL, but coming from windows would it be better to start on kde? [03:36] KaiL: would you know? [03:36] snowseal: you mean for use in kde? [03:36] snowseal> I think most apps have their own default browser settings, I don't think there is a global desktop wide default [03:36] KaiL: yes, i prefer firefox [03:36] oh. k [03:36] Chislon_: well, I'd always prefer kde, not only for new users :) [03:37] kde rocks [03:37] why do you prefer kde over xfce? [03:37] KaiL> and for old and experienced users too ! [03:37] because kde's hotter [03:37] snowseal: there's a global one for KDE: kontrolcenter -> kde components -> konponent selection -> web browser [03:38] Chislon_: more integrated apps and so on [03:38] KaiL> yes but only a few KDE apps actually use that setting, gaim and such don't [03:38] well like what all, how does that work, what does that fully mean? [03:38] markc: gaim isn't KDE ;) [03:38] gaim is gnome [03:39] nah [03:39] gaim is gtk [03:39] KaiL> that's what I mean, Chislon_> asked about a default browser for gaim, for instance [03:39] well, ya [03:39] yeah, anf gaim have its own "browser settings" [03:40] s/anf/and [03:40] KaiL: yay, that worked. nice [03:40] Chislon_: for you can use the kio functions in all apps - to save a file from an email directly to fish:/user@host:/path (=my webserver) is really nice ;) [03:40] i asked about a default browser for gaim? [03:40] Chislon_: kde has some really nice features, the greatest of which, IMO, is kioslaves. [03:41] KaiL, i dont know what what you just said means [03:41] i dont know what any of it means lol [03:41] totally agree about kioslaves, better than win/mac [03:41] Chislon_: kioslaves allow you to access remote filesystems as local filesystems without mounting [03:41] I don't use them [03:42] Chislon_: you can directly save from _every_ KDE file dialog over ssh to a remote server (and other such funktions) [03:42] I use sshfs [03:42] ok [03:42] Chislon_: also they allow you to dig into archive files in order to access files within those. [03:42] Chislon_: all from konquerer or any kde-based program [03:42] Chislon_: as an example, you can use an editor (like kate) to edit a remote web page without having to use ftp to upload it all the time, same thing from nearly any kde app [03:42] can kde run all the same stuff gnome does? [03:43] you can run every app on every desktop [03:43] markc: as an example I can't use gimp that way, that's why sshfs is just better ;) === ubuntu [~ubuntu@user-6069.l1.c5.dsl.pol.co.uk] has joined #kubuntu [03:43] Chislon_> gnome and kde apps can coexist quite happily [03:43] ok [03:44] Chislon_: I use Gaim, Firefox, Thunderbird, Gimp etc etc in my KDE desktop [03:44] so how do i uninstall gnome and install kde, and uninstall the gnome apps i dont want, and install the kde ones i want [03:44] Tm_T, i want to use those progs [03:44] yeah, I bet [03:44] well i dont know what the other Gaim is like [03:44] er what kde's gaim like thing is [03:44] Chislon_> just "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" [03:44] but i want ff, thunderbird, gimp [03:45] i have to do sudo tho right? [03:45] Chislon_> if you already have them onboard they'll probably still be there after kde is also installed [03:45] kopete is a little buggy still [03:45] markc, i dunno what that means, onboard? u mean if htey are already on my comp they will still be there? [03:45] whats kopete [03:45] Chislon_> ah, yeah, I keep forgetting about sudo... I just do a sudo -i once in a shell and lose all sudoness [03:45] ok [03:46] Chislon_: kopete is the kde chat client. [03:46] Chislon_: IM client and known as one of the most unstable KDE apps [03:46] mrmanic: kopete isn't buggy if you enable hoary-updates in sources.list... [03:46] what.. what disc does it want me to put in my drive?? the install disk [03:46] Chislon_> onboard is slang for "already installed" [03:46] ? === wallpaper13 [~wallpaper@202.169.225.69] has joined #kubuntu [03:46] ok [03:46] Firetech: that's actually false. I'll agree that it's not AS buggy, though. [03:47] I use it, I don't find it buggy, nor unstable. [03:47] it still crashes when I do some things. [03:47] why does it need an ubuntu disk, img uessing its the install disc? i threw it away, i can get it, but do i need to keep it around? === wallpaper13 is now known as kucing_sampah [03:47] Chislon_: you probably need to update your /etc/apt/sources.list file [03:47] although, I use 0.10.2 (KDE 3.4.1) [03:47] lol [03:47] test [03:47] Chislon_> if you have your /etc/apt/sources.list file setup right then you can just apt-get everything off the net [03:47] Firetech: I also use that. [03:48] ok... so should i put my cd in now tho for this [03:48] mrmanic: what is wrong then? [03:48] Chislon_> if it's an ubuntu CD then it won't have any kde packages on it [03:48] It works fine for me with MSN, ICQ and Jabber [03:48] hello, i am trying to get the kvirc on my amd64 kubuntu, is there a package, can it be done? [03:48] like while its doing that i can do whatever right? well it asked for ti.. lol [03:49] Firetech: when I remove contacts from my contact list and re-add them in another group, it crashes [03:49] Chislon_> you will need to get 100mb to 200mb of packages though [03:49] so what do i do, its loading that stuff righ tnow?

Please satisfy yourself as to [04:26] i just messed it up [04:26] Chislon_> you don't HAVE to do this, it just enables extra packages [04:27] cuz i clicked on the # to delte it and then it jumped up to the top and i dleted or added something up there? === snowseal removes all traces of gnome [04:27] markc, i dont get why you keep saying htat, i want to do it, i just dont know how [04:27] Firetech, i dont now? im not sure what that means [04:27] Chislon_> you are in the kde desktop, you are a kubuntu user, everything from now on is normal debain/kubuntu usage... be happy :) [04:27] do as markc says [04:28] the line that it jumped says team, and may not be under a free license. please satisfy yourself as deb cdrom:stuff, did i mess it up? and i dont know how to take away the ## from the lines [04:28] nor do i udnerstand how taking it from those lines will doa nything as its just teck [04:28] Chislon_> I didn't relalize you never used nano before, sorry [04:28] er text [04:28] markc, oh ok, no problem, im really new [04:28] Chislon_: just press ctrl+x and then n [04:29] i didn tuncomment the lines tho [04:29] and i think i changed a different line? [04:29] and let markc choose a different editor for you ;) [04:29] well what about that line i may have messed up? [04:29] easier than nano !!! :) [04:29] markc: perhaps a graphical one [04:29] ah, im kubuntu now. [04:29] Chislon_> edit it again and put the # (commnets) characters back at the front of the line [04:30] is there any way to tweak the geforce drivers? GL isnt performing very well. [04:30] nano is simple, if you're used to text editors.

[05:26] dreumah> no idea, but I hope so [05:26] RetroMan: you would insert a startup script in /etc/init.d/ with relevant links if applicable, or the quick and dirty method is to add commands to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh [05:26] but that isn't the recommended way...

[10:03] <_Church_of_FoamY> but it will boot off of my ubuntu [10:03] <_Church_of_FoamY> cd [10:03] <_Church_of_FoamY> O_o [10:03] Starting to sound like a cdrom reading error [10:04] i have macs [10:04] no bios there [10:04] ahhhh [10:04] open firmware instead [10:04] but not simila [10:04] r [10:04] ppc vs. x86 = head explodes [10:04] haha [10:05] actually apple just announced they will be switching to x86 in the next year [10:05] so i will start having bios [10:05] one day [10:05] i heard, maybe that's good news. no wait, they said Intel, I didn't hear specifically x86 [10:05] no but they also announced x86 today [10:05] <_Church_of_FoamY> a screw it i just wanted kubuntu without the ubuntu desktop and crap [10:06] oh my, does that mean I can try out tiger some day? [10:06] they have to recompile a lot of software [10:06] maybe! [10:06] with a small hack [10:06] _Church_of_FoamY: you can remove gnome stuff easily [10:06] of course, who needs Tiger when we have Hoary... :) [10:07] <_Church_of_FoamY> onto better things [10:07] <_Church_of_FoamY> like whats a good file shareing p2p program for kubuntu? === psn [~psn@psn.developer.konversation] has joined #kubuntu [10:07] <_Church_of_FoamY> ok that was really strange....hard core lag for like the last 30sec [10:08] <_Church_of_FoamY> oh really sweet how?

[10:16] the software developers (the GIMP people for example) have to create the autopackage...I'm not sure if there are any special requirements you need in your distro (of course if you did that defeats the whole purpose) [10:17] abisen: you don't need to import a security key... all the repos (except for kubuntu.org) have signed packages [10:17] hmm... "Package kdegames is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source." [10:17] abisen: you should be able to safely ignore "Not Authenticated" messages [10:17] just after sudo apt-get install kdegames [10:18] what should i do? [10:18] alex: it's in main - your sources are not properly configured [10:18] or you failed to update [10:19] well i dont have internet... [10:19] that would be why [10:19] it doesnt work [10:19] wow firefox is not a part of kubuntu and it is for ubuntu ... is konqueror good enough already to compete with firefox [10:19] <_Church_of_FoamY> than how are ya here?

[10:20] thor|away: well gecko is older than khtml [10:20] alex: because that simply removed the package contents and reinstalled them [10:20] ah [10:21] abisen: true, good point :) [10:21] I have 2 Hard Drives - HD0(HDA) = Kubuntu, HD1(HDB) = Windows XP [10:21] abisen: wait till Zack Rusin puts out a Qt Firefox port === thor|away is now known as thoreauputic [10:21] I am trying to confuguirng GRUB to boot to windows when I select it [10:21] but when ever I select it and press enter, it comes up with chainloader +1 and stays there for ever [10:21] philipacamaniac: wow a Qt port to firefox that'll be good when i can share my bookmarks between konqueror [10:22] How can I make GRUB dual boot to XP on a different hard drive? [10:22] abisen: well that's what I'm hoping for.. plus Konqueror with Gecko, Firefox with KHTML, and KDE integration in Firefox [10:22] i have yet another problem: when i'm in control center, in network settings, when i click on one of the two available network devices (ethernet and wireless), i click enable, its enabled for maybe one second, then goes back to disabled...

[10:24] or another fix? [10:24] alex: DHCP works fine... assuming your DHCP server (usually your router) is properly connected to your Kubuntu machine, you shouldn't have problems [10:25] well its not connected physically [10:25] that's why eth0 wouldn't work [10:25] but it says that eth0 is the wireless [10:26] and eth1 is ethernet [10:26] okay well that's why eth1 didn't work [10:26] but eth0 doesnt work either [10:26] eth0 seems to have driver issues (still) [10:26] it should [10:26] oh [10:26] hmm [10:26] I use DHCP [10:27] DHCP works fine when your card works fine [10:27] :) [10:27] mine's in tip top conditions. nothing wrong with anything [10:27] same as Mac and Windoze [10:27] well i have a dual boot mac-hoary and mac works fine [10:28] what doesnt actually work?

[10:38] nmorse: Even _SLASHDOT_ has reported it ;P [10:38] sucks [10:38] at least amd... [10:38] but no, pentium wtf! [10:38] Anyway, I don't think the quality of laptops will degrade too much. [10:38] oh well [10:38] well if /. reported it, it must be true. [10:38] since they're still going to be propritary computers. [10:38] prie* :P [10:38] I'm officially quitting Macs (though the addiction may come back) [10:39] Why? [10:39] ;P [10:39] why? [10:39] its still osx [10:39] just the cpu changes [10:39] It's not like the PowerPC makes a mac good. [10:39] everything is the same, basically [10:39] ya [10:39] exactly Choubaka [10:40] although the G5 chip is 64 bit... and they usually include 2 chips [10:40] And as I sad, as far as I know apple is still going to regulate what hardware you use. [10:40] <_Church_of_FoamY> yea but it still won't be the same :( [10:40] said* [10:40] so we'd be talking about x64 if this were comparable [10:40] foqifjioqejw typos. [10:40] well its not going to happen overnight [10:40] slowly over a few years [10:40] this is just hearsay, but they say that apple is not going to use a BIOS in their comps [10:41] just ibm couldnt keep up [10:41] 2 years [10:41] yay! [10:41] just Openfirmware. [10:41] i hate bios [10:41] Two dadgum years till all Macs run on Intel! [10:41] yuck [10:41] I highly doubt the x86 statements... 32-bit is an ancient 10-year old architecture [10:41] You probably won't be seeing any general el-crappy-cheapo computers running OS X though. === abisen [~abisen@209.19.47.238] has joined #kubuntu [10:42] <_Church_of_FoamY> At Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference today, [10:42] <_Church_of_FoamY> CEO Steve Jobs announced plans to deliver Macs using Intel [10:42] <_Church_of_FoamY> microprocessors by this time next year, and to transition all of its [10:42] <_Church_of_FoamY> thats just a portion of the article [10:42] <_Church_of_FoamY> :( === ztonzy [~ztonzy@ztonzy.artist.blender] has joined #kubuntu [10:42] My guess is the contract includes intel creating a new line of processors for Mac [10:42] I'm saying the quality of macs is unlikely to go down. [10:43] <_Church_of_FoamY> http://www.macnn.com/ [10:43] <_Church_of_FoamY> it won't be the same "feel" though [10:43] Why not? [10:43] <_Church_of_FoamY> macs will no longer be "diffrent" [10:43] well they demoed at wwdc macs running tiger and stuff, and later on they revealed this was being demoed on a pentium4 [10:43] It'll be cute apple machines with OS X [10:44] just the processor has changed. [10:44] <_Church_of_FoamY> i dunno man i still don't like it [10:44] And You can't even see the processor. [10:44] <_Church_of_FoamY> yea macs always used like no nmae cpus [10:44] <_Church_of_FoamY> no name even [10:44] _Church_of_FoamY: You're just prejudiced. [10:44] apparently the new apps will use "fat" binairies that work on ppc and intel [10:44] dual G5s runs infinite circles around a single POS Pentium 4 [10:44] ya [10:45] <_Church_of_FoamY> no but i tell ya whay an amd box "feels" diffrent than an intell box [10:45] We'll see what happens. [10:45] Don't panic! [10:45] i always hated intel [10:45] preffered amd [10:45] but who knows... [10:45] Pentium 4 doesn't even compare -- it isn't in the same league [10:45] I doubt they will use P4s :P [10:45] They will use something 64bit [10:45] 32bit vs. 64bit.... what the &*%&# are they thinking? [10:45] Pentium M's for laptops could be nice though [10:46] philipacamaniac: hm? [10:46] Who says they're going 32bit? :P [10:46] I don't know, I have a Pentium M, and my buddy's new PowerBook puts my Sager to shame [10:46] <_Church_of_FoamY> you know what this means though [10:46] They demoed the intelmac stuff on a P4, yes. [10:46] Choubaka: P4 is 32 bit [10:46] but that's just to show the transition will be easy. [10:46] philipacamaniac: nop. [10:47] <_Church_of_FoamY> intell would actually have to desighn something that was actually.......good [10:47] ah....you right click on the battery app, it has the suspend/hibernate options [10:47] Prescott is amd64 [10:47] OS X and its APIs are portable. [10:47] but the powermacs will not switch from g5 to p4... === pestilence tries it out (and crosses fingers) [10:47] KaiL: amd? [10:47] <_Church_of_FoamY> brb i'm gonna go get one of the macs from the basement and try to put ubuntu on it [10:47] or call it x86_64 ;) [10:47] Anyway, they _will not_ back to 32bit. [10:48] I am almost certain of that. [10:48] because it would be idiotic. [10:48] Why would apple do something idiotic? [10:48] apparently the consumer machines will switch first, like the mac mini and ibook, then when intel will have 64bit ready the powermacs will switch too [10:48] desperate? [10:48] KaiL: I was unaware... [10:49] KaiL: googling.. [10:49] Now, they're going to use intel processors because intel can make processors cheaper than apple can. [10:49] you mean ibm [10:49] :) [10:49] apple didn't make the ppc, IBM did [10:49] yeah [10:49] :) [10:49] well, yes. [10:49] <_Church_of_FoamY> yea but apple makes em better than intell lol [10:49] _Church_of_FoamY: Who knows. [10:49] Maybe they'll come up with something new. [10:49] yeah... who knows... [10:50] <_Church_of_FoamY> and apple always is meticulus about there parts [10:50] ya, in two years things will change [10:50] And macs will be cheaper. [10:50] yay!

[10:57] alex: quite afew linux people run macs ( I have ubuntu on an iBook G4 for example) [10:57] thoreauputic: yeah lol [10:57] ah [10:57] me too [10:57] xfce = Cholesterol Free Environment (so I guess it should be CFE) [10:58] ah [10:59] philipacamaniac: yeah, there open gl "wobble-windows" are nice :) [10:59] see my latest blog entry for a roundup of KDE4 coolness: http://www.philipandjenny.com/2005/06/06/kde-4-will-be-awesome/ [10:59] guys, I have a question. what is this file /proc/kcore ? It is a 384MB file [10:59] gensn: I hope it is cool, so KDE can be better :) [10:59] okay well i have to go, be guys! [10:59] *bye [10:59] competition is good [11:00] hussam: /proc is virtual - it doesn't really take up the space you are seeing [11:00] <_Church_of_FoamY> forgot i had to download the ubuntu ISO again [11:00] true that :> [11:00] <_Church_of_FoamY> :P [11:00] hihi [11:00] bye [11:00] hussam: linux treats processes and memory space as files [11:00] thoreauputic: Ok [11:01] so this file is 384MB because I have 384MB of ram on this PC? [11:01] indeed [11:01] i like kde and used in on suse, but i think gnome is a little bit faster sometimes, but not so user friendly... ah dunno... === morten [~morten@0x503e3635.arcnxx8.adsl-dhcp.tele.dk] has joined #kubuntu [11:02] KDE really does want a faster machine... but the latest GNOME is getting up there, too. [11:02] philipacamaniac: is there an ETA for KDE 4? [11:02] Aloha :) [11:02] gensn: interesting - KDE "feels" a bit quicker on this machine [11:02] bobbyd: 2006 is all we know [11:02] <_Church_of_FoamY> why does it want a faster machene? [11:02] I'm installing xfce 4.2.2 now using xfce4-4.2.2-installer.bin [11:02] ... where was it you could get that thing that would fix kdelibs __ [11:03] ?? even [11:03] bobbyd: hopefully before longhorn === thoreauputic uses fluxbox mainly anyway [11:03] :) [11:03] <_Church_of_FoamY> fluxbox? [11:04] philipacamaniac: about the same time as Duke Nukem Forever , then ;-) ? [11:04] no, no... KDE has good release history [11:04] <_Church_of_FoamY> what is fluxbox? [11:04] _Church_of_FoamY: fluxbox is a very small, quick window manager [11:04] <_Church_of_FoamY> oh ok [11:04] but KDE 3.5 will almost certainly come first (Fall 2005) [11:04] <_Church_of_FoamY> i get it [11:06] .... Once there was a link in the "headline" to where that shell-file-thingie that fixed kdelibs could be downloaded.. anyone remember where _ [11:06] <_Church_of_FoamY> how come when i'm doing alot of things the music i play get kinda skippy? [11:06] Some discussion of the release schedule... http://commit-digest.org/index.php?issue=jun32005 [11:07] morten: if you mean kdelibs-debug.sh , I have a copy here === monchy [~monchy@S010600e04c400007.ok.shawcable.net] has joined #kubuntu [11:08] Yup.. thats the one.. [11:08] morten: I could probably DCC it to you if you like [11:08] does he need that? There is an updated kdelibs... [11:08] What ever DCC means ... it would be great :) [11:08] (is kinda new to linux and irc thingie) [11:08] yes, I don't think it's necesary [11:08] ftp://www.betterthanducttape.com/kdelibs-debug.sh has it too [11:08] Ill just get it from there [11:09] morten: are you sure you need it? [11:09] philipacamaniac: does this "/usr/share/autopackage" directory exist on your PC? [11:09] <_Church_of_FoamY> anyone know? [11:09] Nope.. i did last time i installed kubuntu [11:09] hussam: no [11:09] _Church_of_FoamY: do you have on-board sound? [11:09] church: how much RAM do you have? [11:09] <_Church_of_FoamY> yes [11:09] <_Church_of_FoamY> 128mb === nxv_ [~nxv_@dsl-084-056-110-210.arcor-ip.net] has joined #kubuntu [11:09] hussam: http://commit-digest.org/index.php?issue=jun32005 [11:09] <_Church_of_FoamY> i mean 256mb [11:10] hussam: sorry, wrong link [11:10] morten: the kdelibs issue is fixed now [11:10] ahhh, ok.. then I dont need it :) [11:10] hussam: http://autopackage.org [11:11] _Church_of_FoamY: well, sound uses CPU so if you are doing something CPU intensive your sound might suffer [11:11] <_Church_of_FoamY> is that just onboard? [11:12] <_Church_of_FoamY> or any sound at all? [11:12] a dedicated sound card will always perform best, of course [11:12] if it's any good [11:12] hussan: looks like all you have to do to a .package file is make it executable (right click - properties - permissions - is executable) [11:12] *hussam [11:13] <_Church_of_FoamY> i have an ISA one a sb-16 i think [11:13] philipacamaniac: Ok , got that [11:13] <_Church_of_FoamY> lool [11:14] _Church_of_FoamY: ISA can be a pain to configure [11:14] <_Church_of_FoamY> hey is there a program that will let you record internet radio? [11:14] The only sound card that uses less CPU is really the Audigy series [11:14] <_Church_of_FoamY> oh ok [11:14] i hate that - why does ctrl+c / ctrl+v - copy / paste not work properly whith kde? [11:14] _Church_of_FoamY: sure, get streamripper and streamtuner [11:14] They have a built-in DSP that cuts down on CPU usage [11:14] <_Church_of_FoamY> i think i can get one of those [11:14] Foamy, don't bother [11:15] <_Church_of_FoamY> is that an apt-get? [11:15] <_Church_of_FoamY> or a synaptic thing? [11:15] Just set whatever program you use to play sound to a higher priority [11:15] _Church_of_FoamY: yes [11:15] <_Church_of_FoamY> sweet [11:15] _Church_of_FoamY: get both [11:15] Anyone of you tried that... GTK-QT thingie.. that makes GTK-windows look like QT (or something like that) [11:15] Yeah, I use it [11:16] streamtuner works with streamripper to rip mp3 etc from shoutcast [11:16] Is it good __ [11:16] The only problem is the GTK File selector is still as ugly as sin [11:16] It works great otherwise [11:16] hey i installed firefox on kubuntu and the fonts on the firefox interface are too small .. where do i make them appear decent ??
