| nikkia | soebbi: i told you, the location of the JRE's files has a 'lib' dir, if you put .jar files in there they are automatically found | 12:13 |

| soebbi | nikkia: I tried that, i downloaded the official sun jre an installed it under /opt/jre1.5 and copied the hsqldb.jar file in the lib-dir | 12:16 |
| soebbi | nikkia: OO2-base works now, but says it can't find the hsqldb-driver | 12:16 |
| nikkia | hmmm, OO2 might be doing something odd to the classpath | 12:17 |
| soebbi | do i need to register it somehow? | 12:17 |
| nikkia | no | 12:18 |
| soebbi | "the specified driver could not be loaded" - thats the error message | 12:19 |
| nikkia | OO2 should include its own hsqldb.jar anyway | 12:20 |

| nikkia | when you're talking beta software, 6 months is an eternity :) | 12:27 |
| soebbi | *gg* | 12:27 |
| insanekane | soebbi: should probably install the same place as nikkia has it ... openoffice.org1.9.118/program/classes/hsqldb.jar.1.1 | 12:27 |
| nikkia | insanekane: i wouldn't recommend it | 12:27 |
| insanekane | nikkia: oh ? | 12:27 |
| nikkia | insanekane: there is probably a reason why its not included with that particular version | 12:28 |
| nikkia | like, it probably doesn't work in the least :P | 12:28 |
| soebbi | Is there a way to upgrade smoothly to breezy? That would help, maybe :) | 12:28 |
| bobbyd | and what's a decent panel applte to show bandwith usage in real time? | 12:28 |
| insanekane | nikkia: not particularly ... it just isnt included :P | 12:28 |
| nikkia | insanekane: the db stuff in OO2 is fairly new | 12:28 |
| nikkia | insanekane: i really wouldn't be surprised if it is completely broken in a build from febuary | 12:29 |
| insanekane | nikkia: for e.g., i believe, in 116, there is a seperate package for Base | 12:29 |

| insanekane | soebbi: probably should use 1.1 as the error dialog said | 12:42 |
| _luca | insanecane: no, the divx movie plays well. the problem is only that I just don't know how to tell kaffeine "open the subtitle and write it on the screen while the movie is playing" | 12:42 |

| insanekane | soebbi: oh ... hmm, in that case, i must've misunderstood | 12:49 |
| soebbi | insanekane: Thank you...gonna try that one | 12:50 |
| insanekane | _luca: well ... i dont know much about ntfs, other than that it is not really well supported under Linux in general .. so perhaps you can try by copying it to ext3 ? | 12:50 |
| tdmgy | hey guys, how do I get multilib enabled? | 12:50 |
| insanekane | _luca: i confirmed, right click in my kaffeine shows a subtitle submenu | 12:51 |
| _luca | insanekane: i see it, and 10 channels. what are them? o.O | 12:51 |
| insanekane | _luca: try one of them ... perhaps one will work ? :) | 12:52 |
| nikkia | 10 languages, at a guess | 12:52 |
| nikkia | which is either how many languages there are in the file, or a very poor xine default, as dvd's can have a lot more than 10 subtitle channels :) | 12:52 |
| insanekane | hehe :) | 12:52 |
| _luca | but i still can't load the *.sub file o.O | 12:52 |
| insanekane | hrmm | 12:52 |
| insanekane | _luca: perhaps you are opening the vob file directly ? | 12:53 |
| insanekane | soebbi: how goes it ? | 12:53 |
| soebbi | insanekane: Again a nullpointer exception...oo2 hates me :) | 12:54 |

| _luca | ok let's explain better: i have downloaded the *avi file (movie), and a *sub file (text). with Windows (trying to escape from it) Media Player I found some freeware plugin to put subtitles on the screen just under the movie... | 12:54 |
| insanekane | soebbi: oh ... so sorry | 12:55 |

| insanekane | _luca: she didnt | 12:59 |
| nikkia | _luca: the avi? 'xine blah.avi' | 12:59 |
| _luca | no the sub | 12:59 |
| nikkia | the subtitles appeared automatically since they're in the same dir | 12:59 |
| nikkia | _luca, the key might be that the filename must be identical except for the extension | 01:00 |
| _luca | ok so....... i should write it in the ntfs partition, wow, now i'll have to copy the movie to my ext3 partition, i'm sooooo happy | 01:00 |
| _luca | i'll try and let you know :) | 01:00 |
| nikkia | _luca: as i said, that's a .smi subtitle | 01:01 |
| nikkia | i can't test .sub, and i DO know there are about 50 different subtitle formats using .sub as an extension, so it might be trickier | 01:01 |
| _luca | yes, one is a subviewer and the other is a subrip.... there are 2 formats | 01:01 |

| insanekane | hehe | 01:07 |
| insanekane | alakhia: nothing like that ... but kubuntu comes with kaffeine :) | 01:08 |
| _luca | but before how do I solve this problem: synchronizing the sub with the movie? | 01:08 |
| insanekane | alakhia: your question is perhaps better answered in the kaffeine channel ? | 01:08 |
| alakhia | I use kaffeine (sorry about the spelling) ... just can't seem to play backwards | 01:08 |
| alakhia | insanekane: I hung around there but didn't get anyone to respond | 01:08 |
| insanekane | alakhia: it seems your question relates to some non-standard use of some software :) ... perhaps you should ask some kaffeine people ? like their mailing list ? | 01:09 |
| insanekane | alakhia: generally, you should find better help in the mailing list than IRC channels | 01:09 |
| alakhia | insanekane: I'm not adamant on using any kaffeine ... any movie player that lets me move around freely works | 01:10 |
| insanekane | alakhia: well, you can also try mplayer | 01:10 |
| insanekane | alakhia: dunno if it will work the way you want though | 01:10 |
| alakhia | insanekane: I tried apt-get install mplayer but couldn't ... i'm new to debian | 01:11 |
| insanekane | alakhia: im curious though, why would you want to run something backwards ? | 01:11 |
| insanekane | alakhia: let me check if its there | 01:11 |
| alakhia | insanekane: well, if i miss a dialog, I want to seek backwards so I can hear it again | 01:11 |
| insanekane | ah right | 01:12 |
| insanekane | alakhia: well, you can add multiverse to your /etc/apt/sources.lst ... and then apt-get mplayer | 01:12 |
| _luca | ok so the same name is right, also for this *.sub... good work! Thanks a lot! ciaooo | 01:12 |
| insanekane | _luca: ciao :) | 01:12 |
| alakhia | insanekane: my requirements for movie player are simple: 1) let me move around, 2) grandmother friendly, 3) dvd menus work | 01:12 |
| insanekane | alakhia: well, those are also my requirements ... almost. so far, i havent needed to play backwards :) i prefer to click on the slider :) | 01:13 |
| nikkia | mine are even more simple 'must be xine' | 01:13 |
| alakhia | insanekane: kaffeine does #2 and #3 but not #2 | 01:13 |
| alakhia | insanekane: err, #1 | 01:13 |
| insanekane | nikkia: hehe :) | 01:13 |
| alakhia | insanekane: the slider is not very accurate ... otherwise, I would use it | 01:14 |
| insanekane | nikkia: iyo, why is xine is better than mplayer ? | 01:14 |
| insanekane | alakhia: haha, im no video/film editor :) slider more than enough for me :) | 01:14 |
| alakhia | insanekane: well, i just end up having to seek many times using slider and it is a nuisance | 01:15 |
| insanekane | alakhia: yeah it is :) ... maybe you should talk to the kaffeine people ? | 01:15 |
| alakhia | insanekane: yeah, i can ... i guess no other player out there does what all of the 3 things, huh? | 01:16 |

| thoreauputic | znh: strictly speaking KDE is the KDE desktop running on the kwin window manager | 12:25 |

| znh | thoreauputic: yes I noticed that.. quite funny if they overlap each other xD | 12:29 |
| znh | but gnome is so damn slow.. I can't understand how people can work with a microsoft acting machine like that | 12:29 |
| thoreauputic | heh | 12:29 |
| thoreauputic | znh: I use fluxbox mostly anyway | 12:30 |
| znh | hm fluxbox, yea that one is extreamly fast | 12:30 |
| znh | but they should enhance the navigation in fluxbox | 12:30 |

| P3L|C4N0 | ;) | 12:31 |
| znh | yea, that should be a default for low-end machines! | 12:31 |
| thoreauputic | znh: what do you mean by "navigation" ? | 12:31 |
| znh | thoreauputic: well, the navigation for e.g. starting a program | 12:32 |
| P3L|C4N0 | IceWM it goes to be including in Ubuntu Lite | 12:32 |
| thoreauputic | znh: it's just a right-click menu - fine as far as I can see | 12:32 |
| znh | thoreauputic: I prefer buttons.. if they would exist in fluxbox - I'll be a fluxbox user | 12:32 |
| thoreauputic | znh: you can also set up your own keyboard combos to launch anything you wish | 12:33 |
| znh | :-O | 12:33 |
| znh | hm | 12:33 |
| thoreauputic | ah - a buttons man :) | 12:33 |
| znh | keyboard combo's is extreamly cool | 12:33 |
| znh | qvwm is the most lighweight wm there is I bet | 12:34 |
| thoreauputic | znh: there are actually several programs to make icons on a fluxbox desktop if you want them | 12:34 |

| n | I have to end the session to eject it! | 01:08 |
| m0ns00n | eject -f shoud do it I think | 01:09 |
| m0ns00n | oh | 01:09 |
| m0ns00n | You didn't have a window open which showed a directory listing? | 01:09 |
| n | nope | 01:09 |
| m0ns00n | (I know it's corny that that has anything to do with it) | 01:09 |
| m0ns00n | Then it must be a runaway process | 01:09 |

| m0ns00n | n: It's a problem - I've had the same thing. Looks like there's an unfixed bug in the linux kernel somewhere. I dunno | 01:17 |
| m0ns00n | n: Anyhow, it can happen - I've had the same problem and the only thing that fixed for me was a reboot. | 01:17 |
| Hunchback | N:yes | 01:17 |
| m0ns00n | n: That was on Gentoo with a 2.4 kernel, I've also had the problem with 2.6 - I didn't file a bug report or anything though | 01:18 |
| n | monsoon: For read/write access you need to setup up something called captivefs- never tried it | 01:18 |
| m0ns00n | ok | 01:18 |
| m0ns00n | Me neither, I'd expect it to just work | 01:18 |
| m0ns00n | Apparantly it doesn't | 01:18 |
| m0ns00n | Kubuntu hasn't failed me yet though | 01:18 |

| Kamping_Kaiser | in konsole type "ps aux |grep gam_server" and "sudo kill *****" where *** is the process number | 02:25 |

| n | thor: Cool! Just did that! hope that will solve me probs! | 02:36 |
| thoreauputic | n: the command I just gave will make eject think it is running with root privileges - and it's permanent | 02:36 |

| Kamping_Kaiser | metellius: no | 03:29 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | you can install 2.0, but you loose the mettapackage | 03:29 |
| metellius | metapackage? | 03:30 |
| znh | are there more variants? | 03:30 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | znh. what do you mean | 03:30 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | metellius: it is a virtual package | 03:30 |
| znh | I'm searching a variant for vmware | 03:30 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | if you install the one virtual package it installs a whole heap of real pakcages | 03:30 |

| `Nomad | but it may be that your video card is screwey. I think that the drawing functions are handled by the card and not by software | 04:03 |
| armin | just what was metellius talking about run alsamixer in console, make sure that a device called "extern" (or something like that) is muted. | 04:04 |

| _kay | It's the "guilt" of upstream KDE though, Hamster | 08:50 |
| _kay | They made that for KDE 3.3 methinks. | 08:51 |
| Hamster | _tom have you partitioned it the way you want it? | 08:51 |
| _kay | And Kontact indeed is so good, you normally don't want to use KMail as a separate anymore | 08:51 |
| frederson | Hamster: it appears to have identified it correctly. | 08:51 |
| Hamster | _tom: partition and then use mke2fs to put either ext2, ext3 etc. see the man page if you want other filesystem types | 08:51 |

| _kay | mkfs _tom | 08:52 |

| Hamster | _kay: yes, kontact is there, but it comes back to the idea that if I install kmail, and want to use kmail, then I go looking for a menu entry called kmail.

| _kay | And that the Kontact people want to be. | 08:55 |
| Hamster | _kay, yes it was installed automatically, but when I found kmail not listed in the menu, I checked with dpkg to make sure it was installed. I saw it was installed and that's when the confusion started | 08:55 |
| _kay | Well, you were confused by using other systems than Kubuntu. | 08:55 |

| qbit | i used to use kmail/knode as separates, but the akregator news feeds integrated into kontact are what tipped me over to using it | 08:56 |

| Jwir3 | Hey Everyone. I am trying to install nvidia drivers for a friend of mine. I always get confused as to what I have to do after installing the linux-source and linux-headers. I know I have to untar them and then create a symlink or two...but to what directory? | 09:01 |
| paines | i just discovered that you can drag those nasty ladies from konqueror to the desktop and set it as wallpaper | 09:01 |
| paines | this is son windows and so cooooooooooool | 09:01 |
| _kay | And not everybody does do the same things all the time, like e.g. how do you know the games in KDE? | 09:01 |
| paines | yeah | 09:01 |
| _kay | son win? | 09:02 |
| Jwir3 | paines: nasty ladies? | 09:02 |
| paines | so windows | 09:02 |
| _kay | porn?? | 09:02 |
| paines | no | 09:02 |
| _kay | I am shocked :p | 09:02 |
| paines | just nice lingerie | 09:02 |
| apokryphos | hahaha | 09:02 |
| Hamster | Jwir3: the last time I installed the nvidia drivers I didn't have to create any links. The nvidia installer does it all. Just run it | 09:02 |
| === apokryphos never knew you could do that to set as wallpaper | ||
| Jwir3 | Hamster: The problem I am having is that I downloaded the nvidia installer direct from nvidia itself | 09:03 |
| Hamster | drag n drop. wave of the future ;) | 09:03 |
| paines | apokryphos: me too, sine 2 minmutes ago | 09:03 |
| Hamster | Jwir3: yeah that's what I'm talking about. You should just unzip, and there's a .bin file you run | 09:03 |
| Jwir3 | Hamster: nvm, I guess it works now that I installed the headers pkg | 09:03 |

| Hamster | apokryphos: the problem with the handbook (for kmail at least) is that it doesn't tell you how to actually access kmail. It just assumes you're running it. | 09:17 |
| apokryphos | if you don't know how to run an application then you should be in the userguide :) | 09:18 |
| _kay | well, common, it is NOT in the menu | 09:18 |
| Hamster | apokryphos: huh? I'm trying ot point out that running the kmail userguide doesn't tell you anywhere that to run it you have to run kontact... | 09:18 |
| Hamster | same with knode. Where's knode? It's help file doesn't tell me where kubuntu has hidden it :) | 09:19 |
| apokryphos | Hamster: no, I'm saying that if you don't know how to run an application (which is a basic presupposition I'd say), then you should be in the userguide, kde help. | 09:19 |
| _kay | What's missing is a task center in KDE. | 09:19 |
| Hamster | gah. its helpful.. no apostrophe | 09:19 |
| apokryphos | _kay: that's basically what about:konqueror is | 09:20 |
| _kay | After not finding it in the menu, he rightfully assumed that it is not installed | 09:20 |
| _tom | hi, i'm getting errors about drives not being able to access drives. any idea? | 09:20 |
| _kay | Because nobody but Kubuntu hides the apps in this way from the menu. | 09:20 |
| apokryphos | Not sure if that's a fair presumption. It could be, I guess. | 09:20 |
| apokryphos | _kay, Hamster: you should post that on the Mailing List | 09:21 |

| apokryphos | _kay: flame war? How so? | 09:21 |
| apokryphos | and when did that happen before? | 09:22 |
| Hamster | apokryphos: the user guide does not help at all either. It was written in 2003! And doesn't help me find knode. I know knode is installed, but where has kubuntu put it? | 09:22 |
| apokryphos | Hamster: it's been upgraded several times since | 09:22 |
| apokryphos | Hamster: it tells you how to start applications | 09:22 |

| _kay | Even though there was a case for that :) | 09:23 |
| apokryphos | Hamster:Revision 0.0.1 (2004-06-16) -- and it's getting revised as we speak | 09:23 |
| Hamster | aah, well that's still not new enought to tell me where knode is? which I might add, I still can't find :) | 09:23 |
| _kay | BTW, akgregator still HAS its own icon with me here | 09:24 |
| apokryphos | Hamster: whatt?? It tells you how to start around 99% of apps | 09:24 |
| _kay | applications:/Internet/ | 09:24 |
| apokryphos | it's not going to give you a specific entry on each one... | 09:24 |
| frank | My wlan connection works but I don't know how to activate it at startup. The kcontrol networking module doesn't seem to want to do this. The option "activate at startup" is there but when I select it, it doesn't actually stay that way. ANy ideas | 09:24 |
| _kay | urm, where in applications:/ is either kontact or kmail? | 09:26 |
| _kay | I am too silly too find that | 09:26 |
| Hamster | the knode manual tells me knode is found under "internet entry". Only on kubuntu, *its not there* | 09:27 |
| === apokryphos laughs to see that it's not there | ||
| apokryphos | Hamster: I think we established this about 20 minutes ago | 09:27 |
| Hamster | _kay: kontact is under office applications | 09:27 |
| _kay | Office, but I am at home! | 09:27 |
| _kay | And i checked :p | 09:27 |
| Hamster | apokryphos: right. so where the hell is it then? I can't find any documentation that tells me that! | 09:28 |
| Jwir3 | When I click "Administrator Mode" in the KDE Control Panel, and enter my root password, sometimes it kicks me back to a KDE Control Center main page, without authorizing what I want it to do. Any ideas why? | 09:28 |
| Hamster | _kay: that's part of my objection to it all, but I thought I'd better keep my mouth shut :) | 09:28 |
| _kay | I really only have koffice and openoffice thing there and yes, evolution | 09:28 |
| apokryphos | Hamster: I think we already established 20 minutes ago, as I said, that it's not in the menu. Why you're still looking for it is kind of beyond me | 09:28 |
| _kay | apokryphos: And where is Kontact in applications:/ | 09:28 |
| apokryphos | _kay: Office | 09:29 |
| _kay | Ah, sorry, it is there, exactly in the middle | 09:29 |
| _kay | my bad | 09:29 |
| Hamster | apokryphos: I'm still looking for it because I would like to run the application. I would like to click on a knode icon somewhere, without having to resort to the CLI | 09:29 |
| apokryphos | which is bad arranging, since half of kontact's stuff is in Utilties | 09:29 |

| _kay | ALT-F2 is called "minicli" | 09:30 |
| apokryphos | it is? | 09:30 |
| _carlos | greetings from Venezuela | 09:30 |

| Hamster | apokryphos: you answered for kmail. kmail is part of kontact. there is no news reader in kontact, only an rss thing, which is not the same | 09:31 |
| apokryphos | Hamster: and?? I don't think it's too much for me to assume that the same would be applicable to KNode, if it's not in the menu | 09:32 |
| _kay | There is Hamster, knode is part of it | 09:32 |
| _kay | It may be that you have to enable the component in Kontact configuration though | 09:32 |
| apokryphos | I'm not going to say it for every application that doesn't appear in KMenu :| | 09:32 |

| _kay | I am not running kontact on this machine, .... :p | 09:33 |

| _kay | And then, why does akgregator have its menu item still :p | 09:33 |
| Hamster | apokryphos: I'm not trying to argue with you, but what's gone wrong here is that you've assumed I could see knode in kontact, and that simply wasn't so, hence my discussion on trying to find missing knode | 09:33 |
| apokryphos | Hamster: heh, well, you never did mention that | 09:34 |
| apokryphos | all kdepim is integrated under Kontact though | 09:34 |

| apokryphos | does KNode not come with default Kubu install? | 09:35 |
| _kay | So to read NNTP news, you need to find kontact, enable the news component and have no chance to know | 09:35 |

| apokryphos | there's a lot that goes under kdepim, that's why. | 09:37 |
| _kay | Some konqueror about: addition | 09:37 |
| _kay | apokryphos: Mail, contacts and todo's are personal, what else? | 09:37 |
| Hamster | I find lumping things like "news" under personal information an odd choice. | 09:37 |
| apokryphos | It's not just news though, it's "your news" | 09:38 |
| Hamster | but that could be related to the way people understand english. | 09:38 |
| _kay | It was done because knode and kmail made sense to marry | 09:38 |
| _kay | Both show things that are not entirely the same | 09:38 |
| Hamster | apokryphos: yes. It's open to interpretation really. The way I've grown, PIM means something different. | 09:38 |
| apokryphos | it would do good for a lot of people to read this http://kontact.kde.org/components.php | 09:38 |
| _kay | My first mail program did that too, and people flamed it to death then :) | 09:38 |

| EvanMcCone | how i can fuse amarok with the playlist | 09:41 |
| apokryphos | It's a basic error when people presume "doccers who can't code, do documentation". Practically the whole of the KDE doc team can code, but they just doc instead | 09:41 |

| Hamster | _kay, does doing apt-get install -t hoary (or -t breezy) work as I think it does? ie like doing -t unstable -t testing in deb? | 09:50 |
| _kay | You can do that, but Ubuntu is not Debian | 09:51 |

| _kay | This has no testing either... and you will rarely if ever succeed anyway. | 09:51 |
| Hamster | _kay oooh ok, so it quite literally is one or the other.. gotcha. | 09:51 |
| _kay | I sometimes mixed in some Debian | 09:52 |
| _kay | But truth to be said, a collegue killed his system with that badly | 09:52 |
| Hamster | I've mixed testing and unstable a fair bit.. I guess it depends on *what* you mix as to how much trouble you get in. I've heard horror stories of mixing, and people that have mixed without probs for ages... | 09:52 |
| _kay | I have done that like ever since testing existed. | 09:53 |
| _kay | Never had trouble with pulling KDE or gcc early from unstable. | 09:54 |
| _kay | I even used weighting as indicated in the apt HOWTO. | 09:54 |
| Hamster | no, I didn't either until a couple of days ago :) But kde wasn't in unstable anyway, it was the alioth packages | 09:54 |
| _kay | You get a default "testing" and "unstable" only where needed to satisfy explicit install of it | 09:54 |
| _kay | For all I read, the KDE is halted for C++ transition | 09:55 |

| Hamster | _kay there's a daily build image of testing for amd64 :) | 09:59 |

| _kay | That AMD64 machine actually had copied my 5 years old system on it | 10:00 |

| _kay | Migrated it from 32 to 64 bit via chroot | 10:00 |

| _kay | And then later crossgraded to Kubuntu | 10:01 |

| douglas | oh | 10:18 |
| douglas | okey dokey | 10:18 |
| Hamster | douglas: src downloads source packages, as opposed to the binaries you install | 10:18 |
| _kay | Allows you to get everything in place to build deb yourself | 10:18 |
| Hamster | douglas: src packages allow you to compile your own debs | 10:19 |
| _kay | If you don't do that, remove them, it only makes downloads of apt-get update more | 10:19 |

| _kay | Not now, updates are now put into breezy of course | 10:19 |
| douglas | oh, I c | 10:19 |
| _kay | It's for after the release. | 10:19 |

| apokryphos | Not bad at all | 11:06 |

| ztonzy | also installed "Crystal Clear" icon theme...sweet ones | 11:08 |
| ztonzy | dunno how to install .jar for firefox/mozilla | 11:08 |
| apokryphos | Yeah, they're nice. Was kinda sad that Konqueror and Konsole looked basically the same though -- two of the icons I see most | 11:09 |
| apokryphos | a lot of the other ones are really clean and nice from there though, definitely | 11:09 |

| ztonzy | it is pain the ass to rig a character | 11:15 |
| ztonzy | not rig | 11:15 |
| ztonzy | but put the "weights" | 11:16 |
| apokryphos | oh | 11:16 |
| ztonzy | or "skin" it | 11:16 |
| ztonzy | rather... | 11:16 |
| granbar | What are you making, guy? | 11:16 |
| ztonzy | me ? | 11:16 |
| supernix | anyone happen to know why Mozilla and FF wont allow you to open links into a new tab ? | 11:16 |
| granbar | yea | 11:16 |
| granbar | supernix: Because There is no link, Neo | 11:17 |
| granbar | :) | 11:17 |
| granbar | sorry 'bout that | 11:17 |

| ztonzy | nothing big | 11:19 |
| granbar | Cool. But it looks great | 11:19 |
| ztonzy | thanks :) | 11:19 |
| ztonzy | we'll see what I will do with him | 11:19 |
| granbar | btw; You wouldn't happen to know why I get errors booting the Live CD in my laptop? I get errors just after it tries to start X. | 11:19 |
| apokryphos | ztonzy: and how's blender development coming along? Are the devs active/ | 11:20 |
| ztonzy | right now I 'fight' with skinning the bones to the mesh or the other way around | 11:20 |
| granbar | It says "Trying to respawn too fast" | 11:20 |
| ztonzy | apokryphos: VERY! | 11:20 |

| ztonzy | apokryphos: the main one (Ton Rosendaal) is in Siggraph as we speak | 11:21 |
| ztonzy | sorry | 11:21 |
| ztonzy | should be 'Roosendaal' | 11:21 |

| apokryphos | That's the conference thing, right? Cool. | 11:22 |
| ztonzy | yes | 11:22 |
| ztonzy | for development of 3d graphics | 11:22 |
| granbar | Rosendaal... Danish? | 11:22 |
| ztonzy | huge | 11:22 |
| ztonzy | granbar: dutch | 11:22 |
| ztonzy | well, the bones/skeleton , or Armature as we say :) | 11:23 |
| granbar | oh | 11:23 |
| ztonzy | have got major speeduo | 11:23 |
| ztonzy | speedup | 11:23 |
| apokryphos | great to hear :) | 11:23 |
| ztonzy | and mesh got its share too | 11:23 |
| ztonzy | and real mirrortool aswell...and a modifier :) | 11:23 |
| ztonzy | like in max | 11:24 |
| ztonzy | take a object/mesh...apply modifiers as you see fit, and play a bit...then remove them all...and object as from beginning it has same shape | 11:24 |
| ztonzy | or you can apply and delete the modifier, and it is changed for good | 11:24 |
| ztonzy | don't what it say to you or it is just crap in your 'ears' :P | 11:25 |
| === apokryphos has barely stepped beyond GIMP for any such stuff :P | ||

| pwolfe | I've read the forums and seen how everything can be done through dpkg or synaptic, and I have followed those steps, but I still see no nvidia splash screen and the driver used in xorg.conf is "nv" where in my experience on other distro's it had to be "nvidia" am I doing something wrong here? | 11:38 |

| Sgeo | Is there a way to import/export settings in the KDE Control Center? | 11:43 |
| paines | Sgeo: how do you mean ? | 11:44 |
| Sgeo | Be able to export my settings, and use them at another computer also using KDE | 11:45 |
| paines | Sgeo: kde and mostly all others apps on linux/unix are saving config files in the users home directory and starting with "." and the name | 11:45 |
| paines | for kde this is /home/yourlogin/.kde | 11:46 |
| paines | you could copy this recursivly to another box | 11:46 |
| Sgeo | Could it fit on a floppy? | 11:46 |
