[01:25] i'm installing kubuntu on an older laptop, and it gives kernel choices to install; linux-386, linux-image-386, and linux-image-2.6.10-5-386 ... i am guessing that the first two are 2.4 based kernels, with the last choice being a 2.6 kernel, but what's the difference between linux-386 and linux-image-386 , for example? anything else? [01:27] use linux-image-2.6.10-5-386 [01:27] kubuntu is all 2.6 [01:27] z|bandito, do you know what CPU the laptop has? [01:28] on an older machine is the time you *really* want to be running the most apt kernel for the CPU [01:28] k6-2 366mhz [01:28] hi nikkia. and good night. [01:28] nite. [01:28] nite uniq [01:29] the guys in #ubuntu suggest that they are all the same ... o.O [01:29] sadly, it looks like 386 is going to be the best choice [01:29] of the choices on the cd [01:29] z|bandito: they are [01:29] whats the difference then.. if there is none.. ? o.O why the different choices? [01:29] linux-386, linux-image-386 are both virtual packages, they point to the latest -386 kernel image [01:29] :) [01:30] hmm [01:30] Not just that, but the restricted-modules too.. [01:30] z|bandito: i don't know why there is linux-386 and linux-image-386, but the linux-image-386 one allows you to install the latest kernel without knowing its version number === judax [~judax@ppp-69-148-18-161.dsl.austtx.swbell.net] has joined #kubuntu [01:30] Shuddertrix: ahh, so linux-386 is -image- *plus* the modules ? [01:30] nikkia: Pretty sure [01:30] makes sense [01:31] hm [01:32] linux-386 -> depends upon: linux-image-386,linux-restricted-modules-386 [01:32] whats the 2.6.10-5 entry then? just a hard link to a kernel image as opposed to a virtual package, which i gather is sort of akin to a symlink only a bit more advanced since you can include those modules and whatnot.. [01:32] z|bandito: that's the kernel version [01:32] version 2.6.10, sub-release 5 [01:33] i see.. [01:34] linux-386 it is, then [01:34] heh [01:35] does kde depend on python?

[02:50] yep [02:51] http://www.kvirc.net/?id=releases&platform=unix&version=3.2.0&group=debian [02:52] somehow, I doubt their official debs are messed up [02:52] it's far more likely you made a mistake [02:52] i probably have [02:52] but i cant work out how to install them [02:52] could it be a difference between debian and kubuntu?

[03:17] i tihnk i might be doing it [03:17] *think [03:17] with most stuff it's as simple as make && sudo make install [03:17] i did configure :S [03:17] ah [03:17] ./configure [03:17] make [03:17] yea [03:17] make install [03:18] im trying kvirc from source [03:18] good luck. [03:18] its worth a try [03:18] the most important thing is to read the README and INSTALL files.

It's generally fairly untested [03:23] thats what i thought [03:23] well, CVS is a piece of software that allows version control. [03:24] it's fairly ubiquitous, but there are others, like svn and bitkeeper, I think. [03:24] but generally when people refer to a "CVS version" they mean the bleeding edge untested/not well tested version. [03:25] with source (lets use this kvirc as an example) could i in theory make kubuntu compatible .deb files (if this install works) [03:25] McScruff: theoretically, yes. You would have to learn how to package, as well. [03:25] sorry for the annoying n00b questions, but i am learning :) [03:25] and waiting for this to compile [03:26] n00b questions are the only ones I can actually answer :S [03:26] lol [03:26] I'm pretty new to this myself [03:26] I've had kubuntu installed for maybe a month.

[09:46] godsmoke: the attitude is a giveaway ;) [09:46] considering the way he speaks [09:46] godsmoke: no, from your demeanor :) [09:46] no, the attitude is evident of someone who doesn't bother with people who can't articulate in english [09:47] I see.

[09:48] you're lucky I'm such a nice guy who doesn't take insults to heart [09:49] Ghete1: why not? [09:49] Ghete1: sure. [09:49] but i have gotten linux for free [09:49] and learned everything i know now b/c of what you guys have taught me [09:50] it always was and always will be [09:50] Ghete1: that doesn't matter - free as in freedom, man :) [09:50] help is free too thanks to people like us [09:50] so shouldnt my help be free?

[09:52] godsmoke: who cares? Are you Brian Kernighan or someone? Do you have 30 years experience? Everyone starts somewhere [09:52] ok, i got the ok/cool from people in ubuntu and kubuntu channels... im going for it! [09:53] Ghete1: best of luck ! [09:53] thanks! [09:53] thoreauputic: absolutely, and people who are starting out, and don't know anything don't advertise themselves as part of a free support offering [09:53] thoreauputic: I think the issue was less the knowledge or lack of knowledge, and more the general attitude and lack of any apparent attempt to figure it out before asking. [09:54] I'll leave mrmanic to finish this [09:54] mrmanic: I dislike it when people make rude remarks, regardless of the motive. But whatever... [09:55] thoreauputic: I agree with you. You might have noticed that I sort of stepped away for a while. [09:56] thoreauputic: I don't really know how to explain to someone that they need to do it for themselves, that all the resources are out there, they just have to go find them. [09:56] thoreauputic: people just don't seem to like that answer ;) [09:56] mrmanic: that's true, indeed [09:57] mrmanic: and after a while i get fatigued with answering the same questions over and over.. [09:57] yeah, exactly [09:57] but I guess that's what it's about, in a channel like this or #ubuntu [09:57] it's even more irritating when I have to answer the same questions multiple times FOR THE SAME PERSON [09:58] mrmanic: i dunno, the 'where's my root password' gets pretty annoying [09:58] mrmanic: ah, yes, at that point I lose my cool [09:58] thoreauputic: that's why I left :) [09:58] nikkia: especially since the installer explains it [09:58] well why dont we have one of those !rootpassword thingies? [09:58] thoreauputic: to be fair, even I skipped past that without really reading it [09:59] thoreauputic: and why I didn't have anything particularly nice to say to ram_einstein. [09:59] thoreauputic: the installer should maybe ask the user to type 'yes, i understand, i don't have a root password' to skip past that screen :P [09:59] mrmanic: yeah, I came in late so i don't know the full story :) [09:59] nikkia: that's not "user friendly" [09:59] ;) [09:59] nikkia: a bit Windowsish, that - but I agree with the sentiment :) [10:00] thoreauputic: no, windows-ish would be requiring the press of some randomly chosen F key :) [10:01] oooh [10:01] the NT/2k/XP partitioner on the install disk annoys me no end with that [10:01] F8 [10:01] nikkia: hahah - "Press any key to continue" "where's the 'any' key??"

[10:10] or does it look at multiple places [10:10] torz, doesn't it just use whatever xine sees ? [10:11] heh and what does xine see... [10:11] oh so kaffeine is just a pretty interface for xine? [10:11] torz: yup [10:12] xine does a good enough job, so why not? [10:13] torz: it looks in /usr/lib/win32 for the windows codecs, elsewhere for others (I'd have to look) [10:13] nikkia: xine does an excellent job, yeah [10:13] /usr/lib/win32/divxa32.acm [10:13] /usr/lib/win32/divx_c32.ax [10:13] /usr/lib/win32/divxc32.dll [10:13] /usr/lib/win32/divxdec.ax [10:13] /usr/lib/win32/divx.dll [10:13] yep, apparently so :~) [10:14] thoreauputic: i'd guess that it just uses whatever the search path for dlopen is :) [10:14] xfmedia uses xine as a back end too [10:14] (which is, presumably), LD_LIBRARY_PATH + ld.so.conf's paths [10:14] nikkia: ah, I learnt something - thanks :) [10:15] argh!

[11:11] after each system startup, my resolv.conf is reset to default [11:11] Currently installing Kubuntu to replace my Debian Sid "home server" [11:11] I'll probably have questions ;-) [11:11] and there is no my default LAN nameserver [11:12] heh, i was talking to him and he left [11:12] I've never dealt in the server side, to my dismay [11:12] anyone else can help me? === osh [~osh@81-231-230-175-no21.tbcn.telia.com] has joined #kubuntu [11:12] its hard to browse internet w/o well working DNS === lippel [~frank@osterfeld.developer.kde] has joined #kubuntu [11:16] nikkia, how do i delete unused network interfaces, so kernel wont load them? [11:16] lippel, so maybe you will tell me whats happening. [11:17] after each system startup, my resolv.conf is reset to default [11:17] and there is no my default nameserver on the list [11:17] grand: do you use dhcp? [11:17] yes [11:19] resolv.conf contains some IPs to nameservers - but this ip does not come from my network [11:21] lippel, it would not be a problem, because i could set up nameserver manualy, but something overwrites my manual settings in resolv.conf after system restart [11:22] grand: afaik these settings are sent by the dhcp server [11:22] hmm... and these settings are supposed to work well, right? [11:22] well, ill make a little test, please wait [11:23] ok, i had to wait about 15secs before dns responded and resolved domain [11:24] under windows, its done instantly [11:24] have you set the nameserver manually there? [11:25] maybe you have to fix it on your router? [11:25] no, its set up by dhcp [11:25] oh, but under windowz it works without any problems [11:26] have a look into /etc/network/interfaces [11:27] iface lo inet loopback [11:27] auto lo eth0 [11:27] iface eth2 inet dhcp [11:27] iface eth1 inet dhcp [11:27] iface eth0 inet dhcp [11:27] nameserver 192.168.1.1 === rene [~rene@p54A7A3C1.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has joined #kubuntu === treke [~ggilbert@tinman.treke.net] has joined #kubuntu === cies [~cies@k28152.upc-k.chello.nl] has joined #kubuntu [11:39] hi!

I have Kubuntu 5.04. Problem is, system freezes totally, as it seems, same time every day, about midnight. It doesn't seem to have an effect with running different programs, system still freezes. I have no idea how to start fixing the problem, can anyone point some directions? Googling didn't help me much.
