[12:52] twidget, do mp3s skip ? [12:52] TestMAD: just ask your question [12:52] I was just thinking about that. I'll rip a CD, then try [12:52] got issues with amd64 live cd [12:52] i get through the boot.. [12:53] Ummm... what do I use to rip? :) [12:53] twidget, i use kaudiocreator [12:53] then the screen goes black except for a non flashing cursor in the upper left hand corner of my screen.. [12:53] but i don't think its in the repositories [12:53] then i hear the login sound. [12:54] and thats it..no more after that. [12:54] actually, it might be, as it doesn't do any encoding itself, it relies on lame [12:54] encoder of choice? [12:54] twidget, if you want to encode mp3s, lame's pretty good [12:55] could it be cause if have 2 6600gt's in sli? [12:55] i usually encode to m4a tho, and use faac [12:55] testmad, possibly [12:55] where does it rip them to? [12:55] twidget, wherever you tell it to [12:55] the live cd just uses generic drivers right? [12:56] testmad, yes [12:56] ok..then the vid would be mt problem then..will the install cd have the nvidia drivers and detect it on install? [12:57] nope [12:57] you have to install them seperately [12:57] ok.. [12:58] well then i guess im not gonna have any luck using ubunto then [12:58] testmad, i can't think of any distro that'll install the nvidia binary drivers by default [12:58] lots of distros say they support nvidia.. [12:59] yes, but bundling the nvidia drivers with the distro is technically illegal [12:59] 'support' != 'install by default' [12:59] i dont see y its illegal [01:00] its a licensing issue [01:00] ok. [01:00] so is there a way around this w/o tearing my pc apart just to flip the little card inside over? [01:00] huh TestMAD ? [01:00] the install CD installs in text mode... [01:00] so that should be ok [01:01] then you just need to boot without X after installing, and install the binary drivers... [01:01] you can do that by booting with runlevel 1 [01:01] ok..super noob here..never used linux before..so pls explain how [01:02] TestMAD, do you use both graphics cards?# [01:02] so live runlevel1? [01:02] yes i use both [01:02] cennect your montior to the other one and see whether it works ;) [01:02] no..i use both in sli. [01:02] not dual monitor [01:02] Sli ? [01:03] testmad, the point is, the driver is only picking up on the first card [01:03] so switch the video cable to the other card for the purpose of installation [01:03] its a lot easier than ripping a PC apart [01:03] ok..ill try that..but i would think that it would see the card in the first pci slot [01:03] TestMAD, actualy [01:03] not the second [01:03] when you hit the cursor with the login sound [01:03] and im using the first [01:03] hit alt+f1 [01:03] then login there and run [01:04] testmad, the order of PCI slots isn't necessarily the same as the physical order [01:04] testmad, what *seems* the first slot, may well not be [01:04] ok [01:04] lspci [01:04] and see if it shows anyting [01:04] ok.

Is it due to the fact that alsa never made a driver for the specific card? I have a turtle beach catalina. It uses an ICE1724 chipset. [03:53] the only program that will play sound is XMMS, while using an OSS driver. [03:53] this, unfortunately, prohibits me from utilizing amarok and just about any other media player :/ [03:54] hmm [03:54] did u check the ALSA website regarding the model of your sound card ? [03:55] yep [03:55] they don't even have it listed [03:55] yet...I can set the volume of the music i hear with alsa [03:56] and it comes up with a card name [03:56] I don't think the card name is correct, but nevertheless, it does find it [03:56] hmm [03:56] I only want to get alsa support because i'm having OSS software issues...in XMMS my songs can't repeat :/ [03:56] its really, really, weird. [03:57] i remember reading "Turtle beach" back when recompilingthe kernel [03:57] stibby: have u tried changing the backend in amarok ? [03:57] yep [03:57] tried everything [03:57] hmm [03:57] configured the sound servers in just about every way possible [03:58] in the KDE control center I can't hear any sound at all, so that only complicates things further. [03:58] in XMMS, it detects the card with alsa, but says somethign else is blocking it or it isn't configured [03:59] anyone know where i can stream good internet radio fo free? [03:59] in "alsamixer" i've turned everything on and volume to maximum. [03:59] drawagoat: di.fm [04:00] stibby: any specific error message ? [04:00] mmmk thanks [04:02] stibby: have you googled for anything related to your problem ? [04:02] insanekane: i've googled and there seems to be no official driver for this card [04:02] i never got any error messages [04:02] that i'm familiar with [04:03] but says somethign else is blocking it or it isn't configured <- ?? [04:03] its amazing there aren't more drivers for Turtle Beach. They are really great cards. Unlike that SoundBlaster sh17 [04:03] insanekane: the xmms error message says that but also says there is a possibility of bad drivers [04:03] aha [04:05] perhaps to be safe I shoudl kill everything but xmms [04:06] insandkane: from google searching: [04:06] " [04:06] I was wondering, but a check on http://www.opensound.com/osshw.html [04:06] doesn't show the Catalina.

[11:14] just try uncommenting them first, i can't remember if universe is a superset of multiverse [11:14] if rar doesn't show up, then yes, duplicate and change universe->multiverse [11:15] i have both listed in my sources, but i can't remember if i did that unthinking, or had a reason :) [11:15] rar has no candidate, so i need to add multiverse [11:16] ok, then i probably had a reason :) [11:17] without seeing kde, so far i have to say ubuntu is pretty slick === newbie [~newbie@d141-64-4.home.cgocable.net] has joined #kubuntu === spiral [~spiral@84.5.151.169] has joined #kubuntu [11:18] can i share folder with samba over the internet? [11:18] since i have your attention, let me pick your brain one more time. How do I enable root? I'm used to doing things a certain way (former knoppix/deb sid/sarge user), and not having root is just strange [11:19] newbie: that's exactly what samba does [11:19] jay316 so how can i connect to my shared folder on the internet lets say using ie [11:19] jay, its better to get out of that habit, really, sudo -s and sudo -i are a good substitute for su when you *really* need a shell as root [11:20] jay, but if you really feel you need to enable root, 'sudo passwd' [11:20] jay, once you're used to sudo, its faster too, sudo -e is particularly useful [11:21] well, first you need to make sure that port 139 is forwarded ont he router where your shared folder is, or you're using uPNP. Once you've done that, you go to the network neighborhood and add a network place using 11.22.33.44/sharename [11:21] most ISPs block 139 now anyway [11:21] i do use sudo, that's not the point :> [11:21] anyways, im gonna reboot this beast and start up kde to see how i like kubuntu, ill brb [11:23] hay i have static ip address so no problem there [11:24] ment jay lol but he left already === froud [~sean@ndn-165-142-120.telkomadsl.co.za] has left #kubuntu ["Konversation] === tuni [~tuni@AFontenayssB-151-1-7-194.w82-121.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #kubuntu === chase [~Chase@stuartma.gotadsl.co.uk] has joined #kubuntu === jay316 [~jay@cpe-24-26-139-222.columbus.res.rr.com] has joined #kubuntu [11:31] slick [11:31] welcome back jay [11:31] i like it [11:31] ty [11:31] remind me though, in the future [11:32] yes?

Thanks again. === monchy [~monchy@S010600e04c400007.ok.shawcable.net] has joined #kubuntu [07:31] is there any advantage to use the sources.list from the kubuntu faq instead of the one from ubuntuguide.org? === ChurcH_of_FoamY [~kisain@24-177-160-171.dhcp.mrqt.mi.charter.com] has left #kubuntu ["Leaving"] === jpatrick [~Patrick@85.Red-80-39-177.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #kubuntu === basse [~basse@basse.artist.blender] has joined #kubuntu [07:37] devs alive?

[07:51] does wine comes with kubuntu? [07:51] yep [07:51] sudo aptitude install wine [07:51] no - I think [07:52] jpatrick: good point, "comes with" is relative [07:52] bccs: not installed by default [07:52] bccs: but is just a command away [07:53] is it on restricted, or somewhere else? or the only option is to get the sources a build them? [07:54] kubuntu "comes with" not much in it. [07:54] bccs: it is in universe, and there are binaries available === froud [~sean@ndn-165-142-120.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #kubuntu === _froud [~sean@ndn-165-142-120.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #kubuntu [07:55] seth_k: what you want to run? [07:56] a have universe enabled in my souces.list, but couldn't find Wine on synaptc o kynaptic. What am i doing wrong? [07:56] I have... === ztonzy [~ztonzy@ztonzy.artist.blender] has joined #kubuntu [07:56] basse: ? I'm not the one who needs wine, it's bccs... [07:56] bccs: did you do a Reload in (s|k)ynaptic? [07:57] seth_k: you are right. === froud [~sean@ndn-165-142-120.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #kubuntu [07:58] yeap. long ago. [07:58] wine never works, and if it does, it's evil anyways. [07:58] I wish useful apps would start being released for .NET :) [07:58] I am very impressed with Mono and its Windows.Forms support. [07:59] In my work, i have to do some Delphi programming, but i want to use kubunto. Wine is my only option. [07:59] bccs: post your sources.list to pastebin please [08:00] bccs: if in your work, you hve to use delphi, I suggest, you use win32 for that. [08:00] bccs: i used to do delphi myself. [08:00] delphi is windows programming language. there is no point on running it on linux [08:02] I guess so. It's just that i spend 8 to 10 hours using that desktop at work, i just wanted it to be KDE, instead of Windows [08:02] :( [08:02] bccs: python + pykde [08:02] guess i'd better change job [08:03] dunno what pykde is. let me see... [08:03] bccs: Alternatively you could look at qemu / vmware to run Windows inside Linux if Wine is being dicky? [08:03] gdh++ [08:04] yeap. will check it out. [08:04] there is however, freepascal [08:05] I'm looking at python and albatross since I've seen how unsuitable php is for my use. :P [08:05] and lazarus [08:05] I guess if you're using Delphi then it'll have a billion custom libraries [08:05] iiiiew pascal [08:05] like the frightful UI elements for OK/Cancel the green tick and red X, etc. [08:05] maybe you could compile it with kylix tho [08:06] buz: kylix is pascla [08:06] pascal [08:06] nah. I'm not using CLX. [08:06] yeah [08:06] but it really is the delphi to linux port [08:06] pascal + qt [08:06] if you want linux delphi, you go with freepascal+lazarus [08:06] as delphi isn't really pascal [08:06] but what you really want is pyKDE ofcourse ;) [08:07] is there java kde? [08:07] eeew. you said java [08:07] i love python, but the language seriously should have static typing [08:07] basse: in a nutshell, what's is pyKDE? [08:07] python + kde [08:07] bccs: python (programming language) bindings to KDE [08:07] and after getting used to eclipse, you don't wanna use a normal editor for development either [08:08] buz, what do you call "normal editor" ? [08:08] something like kedit or kate [08:08] not some beast like emacs ;) === aseigo snickers at "kedit" [08:11] buz: install python+eric3+pykde packes. [08:11] whoops [08:11] bccs that is [08:13] are you saing i should rewrite my apps using python, to have platform idenpendency? [08:13] bccs: either that, or use freepascal+lazarus [08:13] If you were going to rewrite anything, I'd think C# would be a more obvious choice :) [08:14] bccs: its a whole new programming language, so if you dojnt want to go that road, I understand [08:14] dojngt=going [08:14] i guess c# is a better choice too... [08:14] i dont [08:15] why? [08:15] python took me 2 days to get familiar with [08:16] scripted language.. it's fantastic. I hate compiling [08:16] is there any RAD tool for python? [08:17] hmm.. perhaps wxPython? [08:18] it had IDE.. dont remember what it was called tho [08:18] C# instantly gives you MonoDevelop on Linux and Visual Studio on Windows - problem solved :) [08:18] kdevelop =) === basse votes for no compiling [08:19] gdh: ugh. VS is such crap [08:20] aseigo: I was waiting for the first person to say that :) [08:20] Delhi 2005 is worst. :) [08:20] gdh: well, it's true =) [08:20] gdh: i don't understand those people who rave about it. obviously they've never used anything else. or maybe they've used shittier tools on windows. but.. whatever. it's crap =) [08:21] aseigo: I have no real opinion since I'm not a coder - I'm just trying to setup a development environment for our devels... Windows /VS / IIS on localhost... Mono + Apache + Debian servers... [08:21] oh, and monodevelop is pretty young as well... at least the last time i looked at it [08:21] C# web app? [08:21] gdh: how are things going? [08:22] bccs: I'm only starting out, since suddenly I have half a dozen new technologies to deal with.. [08:22] bccs: Initial .NET / Mono interop tests are looking good, and there is good SVN support in VS.NET === ztonzy [~ztonzy@ztonzy.artist.blender] has joined #kubuntu [08:22] bccs: Lots of docs available for integrating things / pitfalls to be aware of. [08:23] gdh: have you got ankh working properly in vs.net? [08:23] gdh: we've yet to get it working nicely ... [08:23] aseigo: Yes, web app. We've come to the decision that our PHP web app is a hunk of shit and we need to start again. [08:23] aseigo: That's roughly the point I've reached now... === monchy [~monchy@S010600e04c400007.ok.shawcable.net] has joined #kubuntu [08:24] aseigo: Except I've never used SVN before (only CVS) and we have no actual C# codebase to work from yet :) [08:24] svn's not that much different. [08:24] and a lot better =) [08:24] i've just made a little app with pyqt and its soo easy and confortable to use python and qtdesigner :) [08:24] best of luck with your project. takes balls to start from scratch using technologies you have little experience with. =) [08:25] I like the idea of C# and .NET a lot since the same includes / modules we use for the web app could let us throw together a desktop UI app that runs on Mac/windows/linux very quickly :) === aseigo raises an eyebrow [08:25] Hopefully C# will also make it harder for our coders to write shit code. [08:26] oh, there is no language that can do that [08:26] how versed are they in OO devel? [08:26] aseigo: Not at all. [08:26] aseigo: Hence 'PHP piece of junk' [08:26] ahahahahahaa [08:26] yeah, C# won't save you then [08:26] the code is about 6 years old... [08:26] since it's much more OO than PHP ... [08:27] the very worst kind of organic growth [08:27] if you don't grok OO you'll end up with even more crap [08:27] it was a 6-month hack that just went crazy [08:27] they'd better some OO background first [08:27] aseigo: That's half the hope... that if our coders can't adjust their mindset, we'll change the coders.... [08:27] get some [08:28] gdh: why not just change the coders now? =P [08:28] gdh: is it a ISV? [08:28] seriously though.. at the very least, bring someone in who has OO experience [08:28] gdh: How many coders? [08:28] aseigo: They're nice guys and we want to give them a chance because they understand the current code inside out :) [08:28] bccs: 5 [08:29] aseigo: Yes, we're looking at a programming team manager who can actually code, not some useless middleman who only 'thinks outside the box' etc. [08:29] bccs: I don't know what an ISV is. [08:29] gdh: if you have only 5 coders, that can't change their mindset, you better change than. [08:29] independant software vendor [08:29] does it get many miles to the gallon? [08:29] ;) [08:29] No, in-house coding team === Mez [~mez@cpc2-lich4-3-0-cust115.brhm.cable.ntl.com] has joined #kubuntu [08:30] for www.laterooms.com :) [08:30] (I'm sysadmin) [08:31] gdh: what's wrong with your current implementation? [08:31] apparently it's a piece of crap [08:31] bccs: Too fragile, built as a short-term hack, we also want to investigate C# as an interesting new thing to expand the horizons of our coders === aseigo shudders [08:32] gdh, nice [08:32] I would love for a DBA to come in and give us a propeer database schema than the house of cards we have now :) [08:32] imho, the last reason to adopt a new language for a production proudct is to expand the horizons of your coders [08:32] aseigo: It cuts both ways - if they learn new skills and move on, that eliminates the need for us to move them on :) === ztonzy [~ztonzy@ztonzy.artist.blender] has joined #kubuntu [08:33] and at the same time, we retain their knowledge of the legacy codebase === twidget [~charles@adsl-0-9-179.shv.bellsouth.net] has joined #kubuntu [08:33] gdh: so you're paying them to leave? while they struggle with a bunch of new concepts?

Mind it wouldn't be my call... [08:34] Either way, it's not me that pays them, so it doesn't affect me. [08:34] *my day to day work [08:34] gdh: is the app well documented? are they using UML or anything else? [08:35] bccs: it's php [08:35] bccs: LOL [08:35] bccs: when's the last time you heard of a php website using UML ;) [08:35] never, i guess [08:36] Friday 13th, November 04 21:18 pm [08:36] bccs: Let me give you some context... until about 6 months ago, everyone had the live server codebase mounted as a samba share on their PC so anyone could change live code at any point [08:36] then I forced CVS on them to much grumbling === claydoh [~claydoh@65.99.186.79] has joined #kubuntu [08:36] jesus [08:36] Oh lord [08:37] are you coders too old? === aseigo suddenly remembers why he detests working with "web developers" [08:37] bccs: No, they're just not really coder material save for one. [08:37] Programming-by-example [08:38] while(!working) { twiddle; } [08:38] etc. [08:39] you could use one new coders, someone with more skills, SCM experience, i don't know [08:39] we have about 20k's worth of new server kit coming in next week for the new development environment.. === karunakar [~karunakar@210.7.77.145] has joined #kubuntu [08:39] bccs: Yes, we've already discussed taking on an experienced OO-happy programmer/designer.

[08:48] yes [08:48] I did look for the 'Open Location' facility in the UI [08:48] gdh, its part of the open file dialog, iirc [08:48] beep's my player of choice because it's just winamp :) [08:49] it does streaming, but ipv4 only :/ [08:49] I dislike the whole 'media environment' thing with amarok and friends. === grimse [~malte@p5481C2FD.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu [08:51] nikki: Am just looking at the file open dialog.. and it's a normal GTK2 one, no hint of opening anything other than files on the local fs [08:51] Oh I see..

[10:03] bccs, its not exactly 1.0.2 [10:03] its 1.0.2 with all of the 1.0.4 bugfixes, the trick is just that you need to tell firefox to tell websites its really 1.0.4 [10:03] and 1.0.4 is in backports if you really want it, but there's no real need [10:04] nikki, you need it for some plugins [10:04] it wont let you install it without 1.0.2 [10:04] ryu: no, you can just change the vendorsub [10:04] ?? firefox [10:04] No match for "firefox" [10:04] ryu, i've yet to see a plugin that doesn't work on the 1.0.2+patches that kubuntu ships [10:05] you cant access the homepage on the direkt way [10:05] !learn firefox If you cannot install themes or extensions, go to about:config in Firefox and search for "vendorsub".

[10:52] Riddell: svn [10:52] well now i have it displayed in kynaptic, but i cant mark it [10:53] ryu: close kynaptic and try sudo apt-get install koffice [10:53] kay [10:54] ryu: are you trying the latest KOffice? Do you have the repository? [10:54] yes, he does, I had him add it [10:54] cool [10:55] it says that koffice depents on karbon and the other packages of koffice [10:55] Riddell: you used svn at all? Have you not had problems compiling kdebase there? [10:55] apokryphos: I've not actually used svn, maybe I should [10:55] ryu: and they're not fetchable? Could you www.pastebin.com the ouput? [10:55] apokryphos: tried upgrading to breezy? [10:55] Riddell: I don't remember, but I think I still got that when using normal sources. [10:56] well my system is in german, i think it wouldent say you anything [10:56] Riddell: Nope, is it a good idea? [10:56] ryu: oh :| [10:56] apokryphos: you might get some problems but nothing that shouldn't be solvable with a dpkg --install --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/foo.deb [10:56] and editing xorg.conf to fix fonts lines to /usr/X11R6/lib [10:57] Riddell: is it actually possible to downgrade? I figure a broken system would be pretty annoying on this comp. [10:58] is there a command for apt, that installs automaticly alle depent packages? [10:58] ryu: it should calculate and install the dependencies itself [10:58] ryu: that's what apt is all about [10:58] it calculates, but it dont install it [11:00] ryu: could you pastebin your sources.list? === chase [~Chase@stuartma.gotadsl.co.uk] has joined #kubuntu [11:01] ah, chase, a fifer [11:01] http://pastebin.com/310158 === leo [~leo@S010600904babe4e8.gv.shawcable.net] has joined #kubuntu [11:02] hay Riddell how you [11:03] you not been in #tlug for a while [11:03] chase: I havn't lived in dundee for a while. did go to the barbeque last month [11:04] ryu: no idea, but try commenting out the cd rom there at the top, doing an apt-get update, and then trying again [11:04] agh that explains it, where about you now [11:04] chase: edinburgh of course, where else is there? === mcquaid [~mcquaid@toronto-hs-216-138-233-79.s-ip.magma.ca] has joined #kubuntu [11:04] fife :-p [11:05] Riddell: hm, if you try getting svn could you let me know how it goes? :) [11:05] hello, when i try to compile stuff from source it usually compiles without issue, but applets that i've compiled don't seem to work [11:05] nope, it says something about broken packages [11:05] i believe they end up in the wrong place in a deb based system. what do i have to pass to configure? [11:05] chase: is fifelug doing anything? [11:06] ryu: You'll have to likely sort out those first [11:06] deinstall it? [11:06] ryu: or just fix them, yes. [11:06] if i choose fix, it say everythin is ok [11:07] Riddell: em..... not really we got a fixed meeting place and now need to get some speckers and a few more member to come the meetings [11:07] ryu: alright, now try updating again [11:07] i have haltet broken packages [11:07] chase: well give us a poke if you need some kubuntu CDs [11:08] ryu: ? [11:08] agh well i got about 6 ubuntu cds and a mates handing out knopete disks [11:08] i dunno the exact translation === nikki is now known as nikkia [11:10] ryu: well, what's the gist of it? Are the broken packages installed now, fixed? [11:10] i think so [11:10] Ok, did you apt-get update? === Mez [~mez@cpc2-lich4-3-0-cust115.brhm.cable.ntl.com] has joined #kubuntu [11:11] yup [11:11] ryu: ok, try installing koffice now [11:11] dont work [11:12] Don't really know, then. Sorry. :( [11:12] koffice: Depends on: karbon (>= 1:1.4.0-0ubuntu0hoary2) should not be installed (my bad translation) [11:12] the same at the other packeges === hussam [~Hussam@194.126.31.19] has left #kubuntu [] === othernoob [~othernoob@p54A2E2B9.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu [11:16] ryu: kind of wondering if you have odd versions of other koffice. Is no koffice other stuff currently installed? [11:16] its a new kubuntu installation [11:19] could it be, that i have the wrong version of kdelibs4? [11:20] i just checked koffice will install fine here [11:21] you said it's a new kubuntu install. upgrade to 3.4.1 might solve your issue [11:21] some ubuntu packages accidently got depended on 3.4.1 (like konversation for example) [11:21] add this: deb http://kubuntu.org/hoary-kde341 hoary-updates main [11:21] for 3.4.1 [11:22] mcquaid: i think thats it [11:22] it probably is, do that and you should be good [11:23] now does anyone know how to compile kde applets properly? [11:23] they compile fine but they are not acessible when i right click to add to panel [11:23] i think i have to pass a prefix during ./configure [11:23] ryu: your'e not on 3.4.1 ? :| [11:23] Heh, I could have actually deduced that from your repos. Slipped my mind. [11:24] nope [11:24] mcquaid: it shouldn't be any different to other programs. If you're specifying a prefix, and it's a KDE prog, put /usr [11:24] but soon [11:24] well so far anything i've compiled i've never specified a prefix and have had no issue [11:25] it's just kde applets for some reason [11:25] mcquaid: by default you generally should [11:25] mcquaid: got an example? [11:25] i suspect it's a prefix issue but could be wrong [11:25] kbfx, kxdocker [11:25] Riddell: hey =) [11:25] I compiled kxdocker myself; works fine [11:26] when you say be default you generally should, do you mean i should be adding the prefix or i usually should be ok without it [11:26] did you pass anything during configure? [11:26] mcquaid: by default you should add the prefix for compiling, yes. [11:26] ah ok [11:26] btw: is there a german kubuntu irc chat? [11:26] going to remove them and retry thx [11:27] i've been using checkinstall, but i wish i could make proper debs [11:27] mcquaid: this kde341-link in the sources.list must be there til 6.04 is out!? [11:27] I was making a deb for kooldock, but thinking about it, kxdocker is probably better [11:28] Heart: no; KDE 3.4.1. is in breezy repositories [11:28] cool i think it works now :-) [11:28] nice [11:28] i'd like a deb of this little drivespace applet [11:28] http://hannibal.lr-s.tudelft.nl/diskfree/ [11:28] there is a sid binary but not in breezy yet [11:29] i was about to compile this one and wanted to make sure i do it right this time [11:29] apokryphos: yes, so after breezy comes out there is no reason to have this kde341-line in the sources.list, right? [11:29] mcquaid: add that to the suggested packages [11:29] Heart: correct [11:30] Not sure when 3.5 is coming out though; you might end up removing it earlier [11:31] (Heart: might be worth noting that breezy will be 5.10 -- last two digits represent the month date of release) [11:32] ah thx... so 6.04 will be the version after breezy...!? the name for that release will be? [11:33] Heart: I'm pretty sure there isn't one, and if there is it isn't finalised. 5.10 was meant to be something else, too, until recently actually [11:33] well, a few months ago; not too recent I guess. === hussam [~hussam@194.126.31.19] has joined #kubuntu [11:33] apokryphos, where do you suggest packages?

I'm trying to install openoffice1.9.115 from: http://ftp.linux.cz/pub/localization/OpenOffice.org/devel/680/ [11:35] but I get errors that I'm not on 386, because I have 686 kernel. === fromoze [~fromoze@81.172.88.179] has joined #kubuntu [11:36] how do I force the install?

[11:47] check sources.list [11:48] if it has us. you may have problems [11:50] I have es. [11:55] hello everyone. has anyone had problems with kde not being aware of changes to folders automatically? ie if I copy things to the desktop they sometimes dont show up.. I have to go to the desktop folder in konqi and hit refresh === lextul [~lextul@p54B7C543.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu [11:55] libfam is installed. but it seems that apps are not being notified of changes to the filesystem [11:57] fromoze: you shouldn't really be using breezy, but xorg-common should bring in all the necessary stuff, I would have thought [11:58] leo: that's an actual KDE bug. Are you experienced it anywhere else but on the desktop? [11:58] *experiencing [11:59] it happens in konqueror too sometimes.. say I'm in a folder and I copy some files to it.. those files won't show up in the list until I hit refresh [11:59] its odd though.. in plain debian this worked fine [11:59] only see this in kubuntu [12:00] oh wait.. scratch that folder issue. seems to be working now === yasar_ [beuef@bgp964539bgs.derbrn01.mi.comcast.net] has joined #Kubuntu [12:00] #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team [12:00] #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team [12:00] #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team [12:00] #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team [12:00] #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team #fazlamesai Turkish Linux Team === yasar_ [beuef@bgp964539bgs.derbrn01.mi.comcast.net] has left #Kubuntu [] [12:01] gah [12:01] oh man [12:01] apokryphos: you know, maybe the upgrade to 3.4.1 fixed it..
