[06:17] foodcoman, for codecs you should use http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats [06:17] I don't know. :\ [06:18] when you install something in VMWare. doesn't it have to continue to be booted in VMWare? [06:18] This is what i thought hater2win. [06:18] hater2win : i dont think so.. [06:18] why would it install any differently? === _ben [~ben@ca-hemet-terayon1b-227.ontrca.adelphia.net] has joined #kubuntu [06:18] Different hardware. [06:18] because, those files become CP files [06:18] XP files [06:19] XP emulates the boot process [06:19] well [06:19] vmware emulates it [06:19] its installed to hdd.. [06:19] not virtual disk [06:19] Yes, but it was installed to work with the vmware hardware, not the host systems hardware [06:19] yeah [06:19] i see.. [06:19] there are probably a bunch of kernel modules and things that need loading. [06:20] <_ben> once I compile something with ./config , sudo make , sudo make install what do I do next? [06:20] reason i installed it in vmware is because my cdrom is broke.. [06:20] _ben: run it? [06:20] yeah, because VMWare becomes its own partition i believe, and it has a ntfs type [06:20] <_ben> from where? [06:20] make install clear? [06:20] <_ben> I can't seem to find it [06:20] where [06:20] hater2win : it installed to harddisk, it had full access to a partition i created using partition magic [06:21] dev/hda5 [06:21] what was the partition type [06:21] ext3 [06:21] <_ben> does it need to be the exsact name of the prog?

[06:23] *but* for some reason it lets me boot from my external hdd [06:23] which is also usb [06:23] <_ben> ok well thx for trying [06:23] Ok, well theres only one other thing i can think of, you might be able to make enough space to hold the install cd on your hard drive, copy it in to its own partition, boot the installer, install to other partitions, then delete installer partition, but oh so tedious! [06:23] <_ben> I guess I can't be helped lol [06:23] lol [06:23] umm [06:23] like [06:23] if you installed python [06:23] try [06:23] whereis python [06:23] or gaim [06:23] which is insane, go get an internal cd drive [06:23] whereis gaim [06:23] Thanks for the link seth_k: workin it now.

[06:27] heh [06:27] where did you hear that [06:27] i believe they all go to /usr/bin [06:27] might be able to just dd the iso file in to the partitions device... [06:27] I don't know [06:27] dd?

[09:35] or, better, how can i know if there is any package whose name matches a regexp? [09:36] Tranquitos: aptitude is the answer [09:36] i thought so... [09:36] so apt-get can't list that. [09:36] ^kde- finds package starting with kde- [09:37] ~d for description search, ~V for version, etc [09:37] good, maybe i'll check that... hehe... thanks [09:37] Tranquitos: I don't know, I just know that my personal preference is for aptitude. [09:38] you can also use it in place of apt-get, e.g. apt-get install kubuntu-desktop, or, aptitude install kubuntu-desktop [09:38] Tranquitos: e.g. find kde ftp client, search for "~dkde~dftp" [09:38] yeah, that's the good part of free software... there are a lot of programs to choose from :) [09:39] you can also do all that stuff I just said from the command line. [09:39] you mean something like aptitude install "~dkde~dftp"?

[09:52] then you'll have to edit /etc/apt/sources.list [09:52] and uncomment some lines there [09:52] <_andy> i did that earlier today.... [09:52] <_andy> uncemented all the lines there...

[03:04] try changing the second number in that line in xorg.conf to 85 [03:04] most modern monitors handle 85kHz hsync [03:04] HorizSync 28-49 [03:04] to -85 [03:04] actually, you can just change it to the edid reported value [03:05] perhaps even just comment out the hsync and vsync lines, i think that forces X to use the edid supplied values [03:05] which in your case are 43-72 and 55-75 [03:05] ok so what do i do ? [03:05] up to you, you can comment those two lines out, and see if X picks up on the edid values, it should.... [03:05] ok [03:05] so put # in front of them ? [03:06] yeah [03:06] and get rid of hte # [03:06] i mean [03:06] ' [03:06] if that doesn't work, uncomment them again, and change the hsync line to 28-85 [03:07] ok i'll try the ctrl alt bckspc again [03:07] ok === rikva [~rik@rikva.user.debiancenter] has left #kubuntu ["I] === Phantom^^ [~john@82-71-19-153.dsl.in-addr.zen.co.uk] has joined #kubuntu [03:11] hmm [03:11] didn't work ?

[09:54] they don't have a binary [09:55] anyone? [09:55] <_ray> fatejudger: are you kidding! [09:55] maybe for 1.1.4 [09:55] but not for 1.4.0 [09:55] <_ray> fatejudger: sudo apt-get install gaim would have gotten you gaim [09:55] I know gaim 1.1.4 is in the package manager [09:55] <_ray> oh [09:55] I know it would have [09:56] gaim 1.1.4 [09:56] I have no experience with kppp, sorry [09:56] which isn't nearly as good [09:56] <_ray> whats the new version [09:56] 1.4.0 [09:56] they're finishing up the summer of code on gaim [09:56] and they're going to have NAT support [09:56] and a bunch of other plugins [09:56] realtime coding collaboraion [09:56] *collaboration [09:56] <_ray> did you ever end up compiling it?

You simply get KDE from Synaptic. Not all of KDE, but like the core and whatever else you want. [11:41] jeff_ check out http://ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories [11:41] ok, thanks jimcooncat [11:42] sorry to any ops that dislike using the guide... [11:42] fatejudger: Just untared the source myself. No problems [11:42] well yeah [11:42] I can untar it [11:42] but it's missing a file [11:42] I gues [11:42] *guess [11:42] checking for kernel version... The file /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h does not exist. [11:43] fatejudger, what are you installing, please? [11:43] that stupid sound driver [11:43] alsa [11:44] fatejudger, I haven't need to try this, but did you check out: http://ubuntuguide.org/#configuresoundproperly ?

If you don't use Backports, you should comment out those lines with a # mark [11:46] my sound is all scratchy [11:46] because I have some crappy proprietary dell-only sound card [11:47] I have to get that alsa thing working [11:48] fatejudger: stupid q, but has the sound ever come out good out of this card? [11:48] yeah, this alsa release I have on here [11:48] is several months old [11:48] no, it hasn't [11:48] well wait [11:48] do you mean [11:48] like in Windows too? [11:48] it works great in Windows [11:48] but like [11:48] that's because it has the right driver [11:48] I was wondering if it might be a hardware prob., that's all === jimcooncat [~jim@pool-68-238-48-131.port.east.verizon.net] has left #kubuntu [] === pv__ [~pv@jt11-57-1.tky.hut.fi] has joined #kubuntu [11:53] is there another source I can download?
