[12:02] mrmanic: gets them to fix bugs faster as well [12:02] nmorse: he's not here right now, god. :) [12:02] heh === _ksb [~ksb@81-86-109-195.dsl.pipex.com] has joined #kubuntu [12:03] Does anyone know why lineakd isn't included in Kubuntu by default anyway? [12:04] most people don't need it. [12:04] you can setup most keyboards in the control center. [12:04] Not my Microsoft Media Keyboard, unfortunately [12:04] Microsoft's Hardware Division is the best part of the company [12:04] Except the Mac division maybe [12:04] iaw nmorse [12:04] microsoft makes pretty nice hardware, IMO [12:05] how do I queue downlaods in wget? [12:05] And why is lineakd in universe, but not klineakconfig? [12:05] lineakd is a pain to configure by hand, but klineakconfig makes life way better [12:06] nmorse: doesn't it work if you select one of the other microsoft keyboard models? [12:06] Nope [12:06] Some of the keys won't even work being mapped by hand [12:06] Pain in the dadgum rear [12:06] But a great keyboard [12:07] Hmm, the compile error is that it can't find qlist.h [12:08] install libqt3-compat-headers [12:09] thanks === Borg^Queen [~Borg^Quee@h-68-164-202-94.nycmny83.dynamic.covad.net] has joined #kubuntu === ateves [~ateves@p5490439A.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu [12:17] Hi people. I noticed that kde 3.4.1 is available for kubuntu. I was wondering it if could be used for Debian Sarge as well? === ateves [~ateves@p5490439A.dip.t-dialin.net] has left #kubuntu ["Konversation] [12:19] Borg^Queen: interesting question [12:19] o_0 [12:19] Does that translate to = You're the new gueina-pig [12:20] no [12:20] Borg^Queen: I doubt it because kdebase 3.4.1 on kubuntu depends on python2.4 and debian is still on python 2.3, right? [12:20] let me check [12:20] Borg^Queen: wanna try most recent KDE? [12:20] Which is? [12:21] well, the new release of lineakd fixed the bug that has nagged me for too long [12:21] trunk SVN & comlie it yourself [12:21] All three File Management Keys (My Docs, Pictures, Music) give one key id [12:21] pile [12:21] My Documents is now the only button treated as real by lineakd and works flawlessy [12:26] Nope it wouldn't work. [12:26] Its compiled against xorg right [12:26] Sarge uses Xfree [12:28] Borg^Queen: when exactly will debian switch to xorg? [12:28] Next release no doubt [12:29] In other words, in 3 years unless it does a major update sometimes before (which is very possible) [12:30] I seriously doubt Debian will take 3 years for another release [12:30] From your kb to God's computer [12:30] I bet they'll try to release in a year and half [12:31] Though switching to Xorg will require an Xorg SPARC and ARM release [12:31] If I'm correct, Xorg is only on x86 and PPC right now (I may not be correct) [12:31] nmorse: indeed, there a too many advnaces in the linux world happening for debian to wait another 3 years. [12:31] true [12:32] at the rate of evolution, yearly releases and/or major upgrades will be needed. [12:32] Recent reports put gnu-linux in advance of M$ by 2.5 years [12:32] I'd really like yearly debian releases though a year and a half isn't that long [12:32] 1 year ahead of OS X [12:33] Doubt it will be in anything but technical features [12:33] Better than eye candy and fluf updates [12:33] Eye Candy can actually be useful [12:33] If the app is useful yes. [12:33] Try evince(?) on e17 [12:33] evince? [12:33] What is that [12:34] Photo management becomes easier when the app itself is transparent [12:34] I think that's the name of the photo app on e17 [12:34] eye candy? who needs eye candy when we have irssi! ;--P [12:34] I use digikam, works great [12:34] I'm actually using irssi right now [12:34] eye candy? We don't need no stinking eye candy [12:35] nmorse: I wonder why... ;p === HiFi_dk [~hifi@port321.ds1-abc.adsl.cybercity.dk] has joined #kubuntu [12:35] I'm using it because I didn't want to play with Konversation today [12:35] lol [12:35] hi... how can i set my GTK fonts in kubuntu [12:35] I think I was actually talking about evas [12:35] Do you have gtk-qt-engine installed? [12:36] nope, will try that [12:36] I think it's funny that the GNOME guys don't have the reverse of that yet [12:36] Then again, QT apps must look darned pretty compared to most GNOME apps [12:37] XFCE4 is the only GTK2 environment with eye candy really [12:37] I life KDE but I never knock gnome [12:37] I only knock it on ugliness [12:37] KDE <3 [12:37] xfce4, really [12:38] Borg^Queen: what should that package be called ? [12:38] pardon? [12:38] gtk2-engines-gtk-qt I think [12:38] Aye, something like that [12:38] one sec [12:39] Aye, that's what is says [12:39] then he'll want switch2 so he can change the theme from any WM [12:39] gtk-theme-switch is the package for that [12:39] Borg^Queen: hmm, can't find that with apt-cache ..? [12:39] Is universe enabled? [12:40] `search under gtk- [12:40] swtich2 has a lot of bugs [12:40] nmorse: would like the switch yes, but it doesn't seem to be in apt ...? [12:40] compile them yourself [12:40] Yeah you have to enable the universe repository [12:40] No compiling necessary [12:41] Are you using synaptic or apt via the command line? [12:41] Borg^Queen: there are a lot of the other gtk engines, maybe i'm missing something in sources.list ? [12:41] Yeah, in sources.list [12:41] nmorse: trying to use apt [12:41] I'm on a RH9 machine now, backing stuff up. Sorry [12:41] Append universe to the end of the lines you need [12:42] If you have synaptic, use it to make a search [12:42] nmorse: could you paste the line(s) i need ? [12:42] Hang on [12:42] do a search rather [12:42] I'll paste in #flood [12:42] Borg^Queen: have the ksynaptic... but seems strange, no tree-update function ? [12:42] ksynaptic isn't very good [12:42] Use synaptic to do the search [12:43] I have to say this is a nice community [12:43] use apt-cache to do the search [12:43] It really is a lot of the time [12:43] If only kubuntu has a root account like Debian. [12:43] I find too many things are missing [12:43] sudo passwd root [12:43] Aye I know but it doesn't always work [12:43] What? [12:44] It is, however, a wonderful piece of work [12:44] nmorse: are you pasting ? [12:44] I can't get the sudo thing to work all the time [12:44] Maybe I'm doing it wrong or messing something up. [12:44] HiFi_dk: hang on, just do this: the top two lines starting with 'deb' just need to have the word universe attached to them [12:44] And maybe the hoary-updates line [12:45] Though if you want a sources.list file that includes Java and the Kubuntu updates I'd be happy to paste mine in #flood [12:45] nmorse: think I got it, just needed to uncomment the lines... well well :) [12:46] would like that [12:46] ok === Cyberax [~kvirc@cpc2-stoc7-6-1-cust174.midd.cable.ntl.com] has joined #kubuntu [12:48] There you go [12:48] Save that as a sources.list file in your home directory [12:48] Then do the following command to it [12:48] Oh hang on, got to remember how to use sed [12:48] sed /s/18:34 < nmorse>// -i ~/sources.list [12:49] Correct me if I'm wrong on that command someone [12:49] nmorse: thx... and gtk2-engines-gtk-qt works like a charm :) [12:50] Oh yeah, I love that thing === hon [~hon@mordad.ee.queensu.ca] has joined #kubuntu [12:50] nice isn't it [12:50] have to sleep, bye.. and thx === HiFi_dk [~hifi@port321.ds1-abc.adsl.cybercity.dk] has left #kubuntu [] [12:50] Now if only the GTK2 file selector would use GTK-QT [12:51] I can't stand the hideous icons that make up that thing [12:51] And the dadgum lack of ability to just input a location === muntyan_ [muntyan@modem-0934.rns.tamu.edu] has joined #kubuntu [12:51] Firefox crashes opening /usr/bin/ so I can't tell it to use Azureus [12:52] hi guys. does someone know what script starts X if i use kdm?

He's a heritic! [06:43] I cast thee down! [06:43] Can you tell I'm a "NixVangelist"? [06:44] there should be a wizard that starts when you first install, that guides you through creating a schedule to back up /home and /etc [06:44] I agree [06:44] asks you what kind of data you're using, how often you want to do it, etc [06:44] but I just use krusader to compress and test and k3b to burn do dvdr [06:45] for example, i'm fine with rotating through about 5 dvd/rw's for that data [06:45] Oh wait there is a tool like that [06:45] It's called Konserve [06:45] it should start with a new install [06:45] Installs are hard enough on newbies [06:45] so is data loss [06:45] there should be a "things to do with your new install" folder then [06:46] as you run each one, have it go away [06:46] NT server has something like this, basically a checklist for setting up AD and such [06:46] hmm [06:47] i mean, what does a new install do now when you start up a browser? sends you to a more or less static page that congratulates you for installing, points to the community, and now you're all done [06:47] and you're probably not. there's always postinstall tasks [06:48] You have many good points === sproingie is trying konserve right now [06:48] ok [06:49] the wizard is a little spartan. asking me for a source URL to back up === sproingie hms, just running konserve won't cut it, since it really has to schedule the jobs as root [06:50] i suppose each user could have a separate backup schedule, but that's pretty awful [06:50] It's a start [06:50] indeed [06:51] ideally, it'd be a control panel item [06:52] Can you code? If so, maybe its something you can do [06:52] er jeez, konserve is just a file to file backup [06:52] Doesn't it compress? Have you checked out the options? [06:52] sure, but i'm talking about something that can handle backup volume labels and catalogs and stuff [06:53] so when time comes to back up, it gives you an alert that says "insert CD labeled `backup 3' and click ok" [06:53] and when you want to restore a file, you can browse the indexes of the backup volumes [06:53] Create one [06:53] yeah, sounds like a fun little project [06:54] i don't even have to deal with the backup mechanics themselves i imagine [06:54] let me know when you get it done. I'll test it on all the machines here [06:54] it's just a UI thing for the most part [06:55] basically just need a simple wizard for creating backup profiles on an industrial strength backup app [06:56] and a simple alerter interface to prompt the user to insert the media when backup is ready [06:58] By backing up files, do you mean manually put stuff on cds/dvds? or do you mean theres a program or something that does it. jw. Because im on XP right now [06:58] I have always prefered to do it all manually. There's nothing like a human brain to do it.

[07:04] Ok, so when it boots up theres something that says Duel-boot? [07:04] Borg^Queen: have you moved to kubuntu? [07:05] Ayreon: when you install, you install grub (the GRand Unified Bootloader), which gives you a menu that allows you to boot linux or windows [07:05] thing is, you need to install linux on a partition that XP isn't on, and i think you need a partition resizer for that first [07:06] i don't know if ubuntu's installer can resize the partitions. i usually use the expert install, which is pretty different than the usual one === shogouki [~nicolas@AMontpellier-251-1-59-24.w83-113.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #kubuntu [07:07] how can i make an application like "karamba" to load at startup and remember my settings?

[12:15] there's really very very little need to set a root password [12:15] _peter, it was noob-ish, but not really a noob question :) [12:15] why is there little need to set a root pass? [12:15] nikkia: yeah, only old farts like me need that root account [12:15] _peter, libc is *the C runtime*, thus the location for the headers is the default C include directory, /usr/include [12:15] <_peter> nikkia: is there a way for me to "look up" the install location of packages ? [12:16] tm_t, i don't bother, and i'm an old fart, being using unix systems for 20 years [12:16] _peter, apt-file can do it, in theory, i haven't had apt-file work for ages tho [12:16] nikkia: uh, "old farts _like me_ " then ;p [12:16] so uh nikkia why is there little need for me to set a root password? [12:16] tm_t, i haven't yet found anything that needs a full root account over sudo -s [12:17] Brydenn[WU] : because you can do one-off commands with sudo, or get a root shell with sudo -s or sudo -i [12:17] in english please hehe i'm a n00b [12:17] hahaha [12:17] the ONLY reason to set a root password is to enable *some* programs that aren't packaged [properly] that rely on a root password existing [12:17] nikkia: old habit etc :p [12:18] <_peter> tm_t: I just learned about this. ubuntu disabled root ON PURPOSE. The way you access 'root' authority is via sudo. Only the first account created on install (the one you named) has sudo access by default. sudo can be added to other accounts later. [12:18] tm_t, its a habit i got out of on OS X, which also uses the ''*' for root password, use sudo you damned fool' paradigm :) [12:18] haha [12:18] <_peter> tm_t: the sudo password is the current login's passwd. [12:18] tm_t, the first couple of times i installed OSX i'd enable root [12:18] well i just clicked on KGpg (encryption tool) and it asked for the r00t password [12:18] _peter: oh I know [12:19] after that, i got bored of doing it, and just 'learn to use sudo you damned fool'-ed [12:19] hhmm nevermind [12:19] hehe [12:19] i'm gonna play a bit more :) [12:21] Tm_T: i also grew up on VMS systems where it was common to configure SYSTEM to not use a password per se [12:21] Tm_T: in most cases, if you were an authorised system admin, you'd get assigned a second user password which would be used for the equivalent of sudo [12:21] <_peter> All right.

Is there any configuration "location" which specifies the distribution as being either Ubuntu or Kubuntu? [01:24] Kubuntu = Ubuntu [01:24] they are mostly the same [01:24] todd, they're mostly identical except for the virtual packages 'ubuntu-desktop' and 'kubuntu-desktop' [01:24] but you can have both installed [01:24] yup [01:24] Agreed.... that is the rub... [01:24] so I think it's better to talk Ubuntu unless it's really needed to specify K [01:24] trying to bug fix enhancements.... where people want the grub menu to show Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu [01:25] todd, you could check for one of the two -desktop packages, and assume that dist based on just one of them [01:25] and if both are present, prompt [01:25] :p [01:25] the update-grub script hardcodes Ubuntu....but don't know how to get it to differentiate. [01:26] todd, as i said, the only thing i can think of, is checking for the presence of kubuntu-desktop [01:26] or, perhaps better [01:26] checking for the non-presence of ubuntu-desktop [01:26] Yeah - that's the only thing I came up with so far. [01:26] yyyaight [01:26] that way, a joint ubuntu/kubuntu system will show as ubuntu, which is probably better [01:27] That is not a bad idea....

[02:00] <_qos> forget about formating, i only what to securly destory the data ... [02:00] 'securly erase' ?? /me waits for the 'OMG hurry, the FBI is here!!! tell me how!!' :) [02:00] <_qos> no ... not realy ... hope so .. [02:01] and how securely erased do you want? There are utilities that will write a series of pattern of 0s and 1s across the partition.... [02:01] several times [02:02] qos, you want 'wipe', but it won't make the data completely securely deleted, nothing will [02:02] <_qos> that would be nice ... [02:02] is it a FAT partition now? [02:02] <_qos> no... it is ntfs... [02:02] And you are running Kubuntu? [02:03] <_qos> yeah [02:03] qos, apt-get install wipe, then look at the man page [02:03] <_qos> the thing with the 0 & 1 across sounds good... [02:03] <_qos> i did it ... but it seems that its only for files, not for partitions ... [02:03] qos, the man page gives examples for wiping partitions [02:03] How big of a partition are we talking? This could take a Loooooong time [02:03] <_qos> 30 GB [02:04] qos, read the man page, and search for hda3 [02:04] <_qos> i already found it ... thx [02:04] dd is the tool to use. [02:04] todd, not very secure [02:05] todd, there are some quite complex algorithms for secure erase, just dd'ing /dev/zero or /dev/random isn't ideal [02:05] agreed. and it takes many 7+ writes === _unique [~unique@p5497D670.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu [02:06] i think the US Gov specs 35 pass for mildly sensitive data [02:07] <_qos> so. the drive is connected via usb ... i can see sda1 & sda 5. what have i to choose? [02:07] (if its really sensitive, you destroy the drive with thermite) [02:07] lol [02:08] todd, seriously, none of the 'secure erase' are good enough for really sensitive data, destroying the hard disk utterly is the only way [02:08] I used to laugh in my Army days when we had all sorts of procedures for clearing out a Xerox copy machine after making a photocopy, but data was stored on unsecfured floppy disks [02:08] todd, *nod* [02:08] Made lots of sense. === Mez [~mez@82-36-228-130.cable.ubr01.perr.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #kubuntu === tommorris [~tommorris@i-195-137-69-156.freedom2surf.net] has left #kubuntu ["Leaving"] [02:09] Yeah - it all depends on one's particular definition of "secure" data and how badly they don't want it recovered. [02:10] <_qos> "wipe -kq /dev/sda" is that right? === nikkia has done the 'clear the copy machine' dance too :/ [02:10] eeh [02:10] qos, the man page suggests against using it on the whole drive [02:11] <_qos> so? === nikkia suddenly spots a flaw in the 'secure erase a drive' concept [02:11] its going to do nothing if any of your blocks containing 'bits' of sensitive data are marked as bad [02:12] they'll happily be sitting way out of the disk controller's way when you're doing your secure erase, and thus not even remotely erased [02:13] <_qos> thats not an harddrive which contains such sensitve information, i simply want to erase it, to prevent the next owner of using norton undelete or other programs like that. [02:13] ah, the wipe man page specifically mentions the bad block issue [02:14] wow, the author needs a tinfoil hat :P [02:15] he theorises that drive manufacturers in cahoots with the government secretely copy 'interesting data' to the bad block area so that the government can see your plans even if you erase the drive :) [02:15] <_qos> so, what can you offer? ;) [02:16] qos, if its not that sensitive, just wipe the partitions, then repartition [02:16] the partition sizes aren't going to be worth anything anyway, so i wouldn't worry about wiping the entire disk surface - and it can cause problems, some drives store the geometry in an area close to the partition table, and wiping the entire disk surface could make the disk unusable [02:19] <_qos> so, i dont know axactly that to type. wipe -kq ?
