I thought the Berkely Database came with most distros. [01:14] seth_k: Is the Berkely Database system available some where in the system? [01:17] No, there are no packages for it afaik [01:17] it's not in Debian either from what I can see [01:17] how do you find something that is broken in synaptic ? [01:17] seth_k, do you mean libdb*? [01:18] crimsun, is that the whole of the berkeley db? I mentioned that about 8 minutes up, but wasn't sure if that was berkeley db or just libraries to interface with it [01:19] seth, umm, that's all there is to it [01:19] seth_k: Do not know what I mean, lack of knowledge here. I think I will ask questions on Gramps mailing list. One of the Developers there is involved with Debian and keeps it up dote with latest packages. [01:20] ralph1, according to nikkia libdb4.1 is what you want, I think [01:20] seth_k: actually, berkely database is the db<#> and libdb<#> packages [01:20] cheers The_Vox [01:20] there's also db4.1-utils, but yeah, it's definitely there [01:21] 4.1-4.3 are there [01:22] actually, from 2 to 4.3 every version is there [01:22] yeah, I only did a glancing search on p.u.c. for 4.x [01:23] I just apt-get install db'ed and saw the list :) [01:24] Ok, I am not seeing any of the db stuff in synaptic. Which repository am I missing?

[01:30] yes [01:30] BIND9 [01:31] I was wanting to run a caching only server and was curious what would be best [01:31] ?

[02:07] no, I want it to be a window in the center of the screen with a list of users on the left, the password space, and the drop down menu that lets you choose what kind of session you want to have. [02:09] and I want to know how to allow root login. [02:09] i've seen somthing like that on kde-look.org. find the theme, mv it to /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes and edit /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc [02:09] root login X? [02:09] seen it on kde-look? it's the default appearance of kdm! [02:10] except on kubuntu, where it's changed. [02:10] I can't get a console or an X login [02:10] ok, then edit kdmrc to your liking [02:10] I didn't realize it was a kdmrc issue [02:10] thanks [02:11] do you know how to allow root logins? [02:11] I dont and would never do such thing [02:12] use sudo or enable root account, or better yet, just sudo -s -H for your admin tasks [02:12] that's kinda difficult if I want to run a graphical app as root [02:13] I'm sorry, I fail to undersyand the need for that [02:14] it would take too much time to explain because I have one hand tied up now === stibby||-_-zZz is now known as stibby === crimsun [~crimsun@crimsun.silver.supporter.pdpc] has joined #kubuntu === TestMAD [TestMAD@pool-141-153-72-252.clrk.east.verizon.net] has joined #kubuntu [02:18] guys is the default for the install of BIND already setup for a caching only nameserver ?

[03:44] firefox [03:44] manual install [03:44] hey anyone thought about rewriting FireFox to use QT instead of that GTK+ stuff so it looks better in KDE [03:45] oh boy, something is very wrong here, you shouldnt run a browser as root, how did this happen? [03:46] who is running a browser as root ? [03:46] ran the installer as self.. wounldnt luanch the browser when done, so i tried sudo ./firefox [03:46] and it worked [03:46] supernix: hussam was trying to compile it with qt the other day, ask him [03:46] rofl [03:46] ty pax [03:47] wild [03:47] chris, umm you can go around it with sudoers but as you know a browser shoud run as user not root [03:48] none of the programs care who runs them. If you sudo, you run as root. what's the problem? [03:49] running a browser as root is dangerous. [03:49] oh wow, I'm learning something new [03:49] pax, thats why im here trying to figure it out === nmorse [~nmorse@adsl-64-217-110-209.dsl.tulsok.swbell.net] has joined #kubuntu [03:49] Anyone know why 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper' would fail with a permission error [03:49] Absolutely! But Linux doesn't try to protect the user from himself. That's why we have to be careful [03:50] Mason59: that's what sudo is for supposedly [03:50] it should run if you sudo Chris. [03:51] That's why you should always try to run anything (particularly something as exposed as a browser) as a user, not root [03:51] Mason59 i dont want to sudo it [03:51] Anyone else have errors with sudo modprobe ndiswrapper? [03:51] Mason59 its a web browser === Davey is installing now :) [03:51] Anyone here even care or is this becoming as bad as trying to get help on Debian? [03:51] Are you saying you have to sudo to run firefox Chris? [03:51] actually, its done :) [03:52] Mason59 right now yes, im not useing .debs, im doing it the normal way [03:52] To install a program one must run as root [03:52] Or sudo in this case [03:52] You can't run as a user? [03:53] But no application that doesn't affect the system should ever be run as non-user [03:53] not in the case of firefox nmorse it doesnt need to be, it can be installed in /home/user/some/folder and run perfect, except right now for some reason [03:53] I don't agree nmorse. You're asking for protection from yourself then [03:53] What reason is that? [03:54] Mason59, protection from oneself is the best protection [03:54] I am my own worst enemy [03:54] No. Knowledge is the best protection. [03:54] I thought that was wisdom. [03:54] One of them (damn...always confusing them!!! LOL) [03:55] Anyway, does anyone know why I get a permissions error with 'sudo modprobe ndiswrapper'? [03:56] If you want protection from yourself, disable sudo and kdesu and a whole bunch of other things...no wait! Run windows 98! LOL [03:57] Or just build a safe sudoers list [03:57] don't know about the ndiswrapper problem nmorse...sorry [03:58] Chris, when you say "the normal way" do you mean you compiled and installed? [03:59] Or through a deb through apt?

[03:21] but from what i'm reading online, they do charge a yearly fee to maintain your account, despite you 'winning' [03:22] lol [03:22] apokryphos: yes, and win 125% of my stake, usually [03:22] what a sur*prize* [03:22] nikkia: I think I'd rather stick to fruit machines 8) [03:22] apokryphos: i've won somewhere around 200 on the lottery this year, and spent a total of around 120 [03:22] apokryphos: i wouldn't, i KNOW they're rigged, the lottery isn't [03:23] hehe [03:23] nikkia: thing is, people win once and then get confident and go on ad infinitum thinking hey, I'm gonna win again [03:23] i wouldn't if i won the lottery ;) === jatos [~jatos@82-34-93-26.cable.ubr05.gill.blueyonder.co.uk] has joined #kubuntu [03:24] hi === apokryphos7 [~dw@host-84-9-33-219.bulldogdsl.com] has joined #kubuntu [03:25] hi === apokryphos7 is now known as apokryphos [03:25] sorry about that; was actually the Internet that time === _P_ [~princoscr@host-84-220-136-222.cust-adsl.tiscali.it] has joined #kubuntu === ch [~jrobles@mailpzo.cvgin.com] has joined #kubuntu === apokryphos7 [~dw@host-87-74-29-176.bulldogdsl.com] has joined #kubuntu === ch [~jrobles@mailpzo.cvgin.com] has joined #kubuntu === apok [~dw@host-87-74-3-216.bulldogdsl.com] has joined #kubuntu [03:29] hola a todos === apok smashes router. gah === apok is now known as apokryphos [03:30] ch: #kubuntu-es [03:31] nikkia: so you having probs with package system? [03:32] (why aren't you running 3.4.1 btw? There's quite a few fixes in there) === thoreauputic is now known as thor|afk [03:33] apokryphos: only the headache of trying to deal with 12 month old packages that lack required features, and not being able to compile newer versions by hand unless accepting that the packages will be broken [03:34] I actually agree that they could do more work with up-to-date packages. I couldn't help interpreting their idea for multiverse to "just get everything in there", not stressing updates as much. [03:34] If they're important programs you should put in suggestions for them to update on the wiki [03:34] on motu page if they're in Universe/Multiverse [03:35] but suffice it to say, it's been the best package management system of the distros I've used so far. Not perfect, but still very great. [03:40] apokryphos: it doesn't help that the new policy with backports is *not* to backport stuff that has an active maintainer in the main respositories [03:40] yeah :( === rodolfo [~rodolfo@213.215.176.97] has joined #kubuntu [03:40] does anyone here know what I need to put in sources.list file to connect to the debian-sarge repos's? [03:40] hopefully those people actually doing the backports with that repo will grow [03:40] apokryphos: i'm thinking i might be better off just going with a LFS-style system [03:41] nikkia: how come? Is it good? [03:41] apokryphos: that way i at least know that i'm not going to break the packages, and i get to use what i want [03:41] A lot more hassle though, I'm sure. [03:41] sure [03:41] but its how i worked with linux for several years, basically [03:41] i'd start from a slackware snapshot, then build everything from source myself [03:42] Are there that many outdated packs? [03:42] 12-month-vital ones, that is [03:42] somewhere around 2001 i convinced myself that it was pointless, and that i might be better off using a managed package system (i ended up with debian based because of apt-get) [03:42] apokryphos: 'vital' is a subjective term :) [03:43] what is vital for you, isn't necessarily vital for me, and vice versa [03:43] Not entirely subjective; I'd say packages can quite often be intersubjective among linux users [03:43] i consider sqllite vital, because i'm writing stuff that uses it, and being unable to use half of the keywords because its an old broken version isn't good :) [03:43] apokryphos: well, ok, the core packages aren't THAT old, i suppose [03:44] apokryphos: the other issue is the kernel.... [03:44] You should let them know about the sqllite packs. I'm not sure how long it'll take them to do it. Could be really speedy if someone takes the initiative, could be long. [03:45] apokryphos: now linus has deemed we all need laptop-like performance on it, and the ubuntu kernels are 'near default', it makes the kernel packages useless to someone wanting to do audio === _mart [~mart@ip53.cab15.ktln.starman.ee] has joined #kubuntu [03:45] I thought Linux was worse for laptop support [03:45] Do you not compile your own, though? [03:45] apokryphos: they're updated in breezy... [03:45] is there any point after which breezy is mostly stable? === _santiago [~santiago@118.Red-83-40-199.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #kubuntu [03:46] apokryphos: linus uses a laptop for linux, thus he has deemed that the kernel must run with HZ=250 by default... [03:46] It doesn't help that I want a few things that are in breezy :P [03:46] ie RC1 or something like that [03:46] buz: there's a schedule on the wiki, I believe [03:46] thing i want the most (a working system) lacks in breezy [03:46] apokryphos: 4mS latency on audio just from the schedular == sucky [03:46] nikkia: have people not called him out on it? What's his response? [03:47] apokryphos: his response is 'it improves battery life on laptops, i use a laptop, so stfu' [03:47] admittedly I didn't know Linus was still that active :P [03:47] apokryphos: and yes, there has been heated words over it, but the decision has been made [03:47] :S [03:47] you *need* to build your own kernel if you need 1mS accurate timing === kante [~kante@dsl-213-023-198-171.arcor-ip.net] has joined #kubuntu === dutch [~dutch@cpe-065-190-182-028.nc.res.rr.com] has left #kubuntu ["Leaving"] [03:48] you not thought of raising the issue with ubuntu? [03:48] apokryphos: its not even a 'fix' for *using* linux on laptops.... [03:48] the issue is about how much battery power a suspended linux takes [03:48] :| [03:48] get thee a charger =) [03:48] if HZ=1000, then the battery time in suspended mode is lower than with HZ=250 or HZ=100 [03:48] would it even really save that much? [03:49] apokryphos: apparently, its close to a factor of 4 :P [03:50] when the kernel is suspended/sleeping, it still receives a timer interrupt at the frequency of HZ, so HZ=1000 (the old 2.6 default) is 4 times more than HZ=250 (the new 2.6 default) and 10 times more than HZ=100 (the 2.4 and prior default) [03:51] well the default sounds reasonable. Half the computer sales are laptops and how many people do fancy audio stuff? [03:51] Half the sales are laptops? I don't think so. [03:51] yes they are. [03:51] frank, HZ=250 will affect more than just audio, but audio users are the most demanding about timing accuracy [03:51] maybe for consumer sales === tango_ [~nome@adsl-85-254.37-151.net24.it] has joined #kubuntu [03:52] Hm, maybe in the US (some news articles indicate). [03:52] you can't accurately play back video with HZ=250, but i doubt most will notice [03:52] well, ok, you can accurately play back PAL video :) [03:52] what a difference! :) [03:53] frank, NTSC video will play back at 31.25 fps on HZ=250, rather than 29.97fps [03:53] that might not sound much, but it matters if you're capturing video [03:53] really? I didn't know that [03:54] frank, you cannot accurately get a 33mS frame time with 4mS timer accuracy :) [03:55] PAL video at 40mS frames should be ok, cos its just 10 timer ticks, but still === pointwood [~pointwood@212.242.222.232] has joined #kubuntu [03:56] anyway, the point is, that audio use requires a custom kernel build, and not just because of the HZ issue, there's also the fact that jackd runs terribly without realtime-lsm === _manuel [~manuel@dsl-084-058-140-180.arcor-ip.net] has joined #kubuntu [03:56] ok [03:57] so, it boils down to 'fight against apt' or 'just accept that my usage requires so much customisation that an off-the-shelf package system doesn't fit' [03:58] (i also need gutenprint for its newer drivers) [03:59] checkinstall works great where you have a single package, or no dependancy from kubuntu-desktop ... [03:59] but when something is spread over a handful of packages, and kubuntu-desktop depends on them all, it gets nasty [04:00] just out of curiousity, what is the timing resolution of Windows, Macs? [04:00] frank, mac doesn't really rely on timing for audio [04:01] frank, OSX uses a callback system that removes a need for interrupt driven timing... [04:01] windows prior to '98 was hard to guage, it didn't really have accurate timers below 10mS or so, 98 added 1mS timers as an option, and they made all the difference for audio.... [04:02] mhh it was good enough to watch pr0n so it sold [04:02] XP has a per-program timing system, you can request timing accuracy down to close-to-1uS accuracy [04:04] I see === ch [~jrobles@mailpzo.cvgin.com] has joined #kubuntu === ch [~jrobles@mailpzo.cvgin.com] has joined #kubuntu === nomeansyes [~tricoma@30.Red-83-33-168.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #kubuntu === JensK [~JensK@p54906A69.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu === PaloDeQueso [~palodeque@st.vincent.static.pa.net] has joined #kubuntu === sproingie [foobar@64-121-15-14.c3-0.sfrn-ubr8.sfrn.ca.cable.rcn.com] has joined #kubuntu [04:24] StickofCheese!

I tried a bit of python once and found that pretty cool [06:35] testmad, python [06:35] in comparison to c++ at least; results are more immediate, it seems [06:35] k..cus all i know right now is basic [06:36] apokryphos: that's exactly why i suggest it as a learning language [06:36] and i tried to learn c and that was a headache [06:36] apokryphos: you don't have to wait a few seconds to see what something does, and you can easily try different things without headache [06:36] !pytutorial [06:37] I guess pytutorial is at http://www.hetland.org/python/instant-hacking.php [06:37] TestMAD: that's meant to be good [06:37] went on to c++ and i found out that c teaches one way to do things..but then c++ will say never do it like that..aparently c teaches bad coding habits [06:37] other interpreted-like languages are equally useful for learning, lisp/scheme is good too, but python is more readable for self-learning [06:37] nikkia: yeah, I like the way you can just hit python and start trying stuff out [06:38] testmad, C puts a lot of emphasis on pointers, especially with strings, and in C++ you're *generally* better off avoiding pointers, that's the only thing i can think of that the language itself pushes that could be considered 'bad' === DrDogwelder [~none@b-6c.lcom.net] has joined #kubuntu === Almindor [~Almindor_@chello082119101212.chello.sk] has left #kubuntu ["I] [06:38] C strings are abysmal, they've always been abysmal, ASCIZ was always the worst of the competing ASCII standards for string encoding :) [06:39] the ASCIN family are a better choice, IMO [06:39] plus when i was working with the windows api's and c++ i found that there were lots of ways to do the same things..there wasnt a standard to the code.. [06:40] (although ASCIN (ie, ASCIN1) is painful on modern software, but 255 character long strings wasn't a bad limitation in the 80s [06:40] ASCI$ is no better than ASCIZ however [06:41] well..let me get to readin now..thnx nikkia === apokryphos [~dw@host-84-9-109-248.bulldogdsl.com] has joined #kubuntu [06:43] wb apokryphos === duende_ [~duende@142.163.167.22] has joined #kubuntu [06:44] nikkia: it's funny how my router can be beautiful/great for months without a disconnection, and then have one evil day with zillions of d/c's [06:44] apokryphos: you know, you're not helping my confidence in having requested a bulldog DSL connection :) [06:44] nikkia: hehe, no, it's great, really! [06:44] i'm already aware ofhow bada mistake it was signing up with them [06:44] 8meg is hard to ignore :P [06:44] apokryphos: at the rate i'm going, i'll never get it anyway [06:44] my connection status has been going *backwards* for the last week [06:45] Just after we signed up we were really annoyed; there were some hassles, they were blaming it on BT etc. then once we got it we were, suffice it tosay, surprised with the speed. [06:45] was at 'arranging connection date' last sunday [06:45] now at 'testing line quality' (step 2) [06:45] Yeah, they seem to be bad with setting up. You should phone and hassle them, and if that doens't work write an email to the manager [06:46] funnily enough, it started working within 2 hours of me doing that :P [06:46] apokryphos: according t othe forums, i tdoes no good :( [06:46] some people have been waiting, and calling and hassling every day, for 6 months+ [06:46] Yeouch [06:46] they're the lucky ones [06:46] I think those might be more freak-cases, but the fact that they exist then again is a little shocking. [06:47] the unlucky ones got a connection, but have dead phone line + no DSL [06:47] All my other friends who have it didn't actually have any problems; though could be because of London [06:47] can python be used to makle DLL's? [06:47] well, it does say 5-12 weekss etup, so i'm not really complaining yet [06:47] Does anyone know anything about the Evolution email client here ? [06:48] I really dislike the website they have now [06:48] testmad, it can be done, but its hard [06:48] heh. [06:48] apokryphos: the website update was when i started going backwards [06:48] before they had a really great one with some cool javascript I thought. Now it's like a rebellious teenager's site :P [06:49] apokryphos: btw, i only signed up on the 2nd, so i'm not even past my 5 inthe 5-12 weeks bit :) [06:49] heh [06:49] hence why i'm not complaining, but am getting a little worried === venda [~sean@ndn-165-137-215.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #kubuntu [06:50] We can just hope it'll pan out then, I guess.

Then we get an email about a free upgrade to 8meg =). Downloading around 1meg/sec -- no complaints. :P [06:50] apokryphos: i'm on 2M atm [06:50] was on 4M when i lived in the US for a while [06:50] who with?

We had them when we were on 56k; we got annoyed with them for some reason, which I don't remember at all now; odd. [06:51] when i was in the US, the telco turned the limits on the DSL off for 3 months [06:51] whatever we get it's still nothing compared to what people in Finland/Switzerland and even French seem to get. [06:52] Spoken to some guys on IRC that get 25 megabit connections for less than I pay. :| [06:52] apokryphos: i think they make all that up, to sound superior :) [06:52] nikkia: turned off the limits, as in... bandwidth limit or speed limit? [06:52] 'erm, yeah, we get 1Tb/s, we so better than you!!' [06:52] switzerland? [06:52] apokryphos: speed limit, there was no bandwidth limit [06:53] i pay 50? for 2mbit [06:53] i dont call that cheap [06:53] Perhaps. Got a friend in Canada who insists he downloads faster than he can transfer because he has a fibre-something backbone connection in his appartments [06:53] nikkia: woah, how did they manage that, and what kinda speeds were you getting? [06:53] Router I have now only handles 8megabit, so I guess limitless speed wouldn't do too much [06:53] apokryphos: before the turn-off, 768kbps [06:54] after, 3.5Mbs [06:54] Only thing I wish is for upload speed to be better [06:54] pathetic 0.4megabit now [06:54] then 3 months later, they turned the liimts back on, and left everyone at 2.5Mbps [06:54] mhh same here [06:54] they don't want any servers being run :P [06:54] when the limits were off, upload was 1Mbps [06:54] nice [06:54] its one way to curb bittorrent use [06:54] when they came backon, 800kbps [06:54] not too shabby either [06:55] it was weird going from 768/128 to 3.5/1 overnight [06:55] I bet making it limitless originally brought a lot of customers [06:55] anyone here use evolution for their email client ? [06:55] i literally noticed things were going too fast, so looked at the modem's config [06:55] no [06:55] supernix: kontact here [06:56] i was quite surprised when the bumped 600 to 2000 here about 1,5 years ago as well [06:56] apokryphos: thing is, the limits being offwasn't official [06:56] Was it an actual accident, or a purposeful unanounced type of decision?

[07:01] They only have cpanel access to spamassasin [07:01] So I wonder about if it gives me all the options [07:01] apokryphos: BD and UKOL have their own switches installed at the exchanges they cover, so BT has to go in, unplug your line from the switch front end, and plug it into BD/UKOLs [07:02] apokryphos: no, you can't, you can have BD install a new line, and keep the BT one seperate, but the BD line is still unbundled from BT === _venda_ [~sean@ndn-165-137-215.telkomadsl.co.za] has joined #kubuntu === _venda_ is now known as venda [07:02] apokryphos: part ofthe problem is, BT's switches are not physically capable of 8Mbps in 99% ofthe exchanges === othernoob [~othernoob@p54A2FDF4.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu [07:03] BT are installing new DSLAMs tho [07:03] they claim they'll have 100% coverage of current DSL coverage by march next year [07:04] nikkia: you're right, you can't; not sure why I thought that..
