| nikkia | redguy, try specifying them in the url, see if that works | 12:29 |

| nikkia | no | 12:59 |

| nikkia | on transport bar | 01:01 |

| nikkia | those buttons then get made into 3 state buttons, and put on a recessed brushed aluminum panel such as: http://nikki.gutterslut.info/~nikki/transport.1.png | 01:03 |

| hater2win | i DONT live in chicago | 01:11 |

| Phantom^^ | ok guys i just downloaded the doom 3 .run file from id's ftp server and am trying to install doom3 i was wondering how i actually run a run file ? | 01:11 |
| hater2win | nikkia: how? | 01:12 |
| web250 | right click-->show timezone-->local timezone | 01:12 |
| web250 | try that | 01:12 |
| nikkia | hater2win: sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT /etc/localtime | 01:12 |
| nikkia | then put the clock back to local time | 01:12 |
| hater2win | does't work, according to local time zone, its 11:12 at night here in texas, which we all know it isnt | 01:12 |
| web250 | should be 613 in texas right? | 01:13 |
| nikkia | hater2win: thats because your /etc/localtime isn't there, or is the wrong file | 01:13 |
| nikkia | hater2win: the system timezone is defined by that file, the original files for all timezones are in /usr/share/zoneinfo, so you copy the one relevant (in your case, CST6CDT although it'll need to be updated soon, great idea george!) | 01:13 |
| hater2win | yeah it should be 6:13, and its saying that CST6CDT doesnt exist | 01:14 |
| nikkia | 11:12 at night is UTC/GMT time, which is the default if you haven't setup a localtime file | 01:14 |
| hater2win | oh i see | 01:14 |
| nikkia | well, 11:15 at night now :P | 01:15 |
| nikkia | hater2win: it certainly should be there, my system has a /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6CDT file | 01:15 |
| hater2win | mine has it too, wtf | 01:16 |
| hater2win | got it | 01:17 |
| hater2win | thanks for the help :) | 01:17 |
| nikkia | now if you do a 'date' at the command line, it should display the correct local time, and thus the kde clock should too | 01:17 |
| hater2win | well ill be damned | 01:17 |
| hater2win | so, when daylight savings time switched over, what do i need to do? | 01:17 |

| nikkia | by switches do you mean 'is modified by king george's silly ideas' or 'switches over normally' ? | 01:20 |
| nikkia | normally, you'd do nothing at all, its all automatic | 01:20 |
| nikkia | but, since the US DST dates are changing this year, you will need to have updated zoneinfo files before then, and you will need to remember to copy the updated CST6CDT file into /etc/localtime again | 01:20 |
| nikkia | see, unlike windows, unix does timezones a little more smartly | 01:20 |
| nikkia | because the system is *always* working with the time in UTC, and only *displays* it to you in local time, you never get that mess you get on windows where it wants to keep resetting the clock :) | 01:20 |
| nikkia | the zoneinfo files contain the dates, times and offsets of DST start/end events, so the updates to fix the silly DST change this year, will be trivial, but you do need to remember to copy the file again once [k] ubuntu has updated versions | 01:21 |
| lluka | hey has anyone messed with project lookingglass? | 01:21 |
| hater2win | nice nice, so it has a reference date as to when it would be switching over, and on that date i need to copy it over again? | 01:22 |

| lluka | phantom use sh | 01:22 |
| luminerd | Phantom^^, sh filename.run | 01:24 |
| luminerd | Phantom^^, or ./filename.run | 01:24 |
| luminerd | Phantom^^, they are generally files meant to run very automatically and "user-friendly" however I've experienced many-a-bug with them | 01:24 |

| lluka | how do i do that? | 01:26 |
| lluka | >_< | 01:26 |
| hater2win | nikkia: when daylight savings time comes, i should do sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/CST6DST /etc/localtime | 01:26 |
| lluka | like the syntax | 01:26 |
| lluka | i dont understand it | 01:26 |
| nikkia | hater2win: no | 01:27 |
| nikkia | hater2win: the update to the clock will handle automatically | 01:27 |
| hater2win | oh ok | 01:27 |
| lluka | can someone help me with that syntax? | 01:27 |
| nikkia | hater2win: but, the problem is, bush has ordered DST to change at a different time this year | 01:27 |
| lluka | >_< | 01:27 |
| nikkia | hater2win: so all those files in /usr/share/zoneinfo are going to have to be updated sometime soon | 01:27 |
| hater2win | ah i see ok | 01:27 |
| nikkia | and once they're updated to reflect the new dates, you will need to do the copy again | 01:28 |
| hater2win | stupid george ass bush | 01:28 |
| nikkia | hater2win: if you think thats bad, just wait until your VCR is an hour wrong for 2 weeks | 01:28 |
| nikkia | hater2win: and there's NO way you're going to change ITS DST date rules | 01:28 |
| hater2win | lol, well thank god i dont have a VCR anymore =p | 01:29 |
| nikkia | worst of all, i think those files are provided by libc | 01:29 |

| bbailey | I thought the DST changes were for an additional four weeks, beginning in 2007. | 01:36 |
| nikkia | bbailey: hmm, i thought they were 2 weeks, this year, but i could be wrong | 01:37 |
| nikkia | either way, they're going to need updated zoneinfo files, and you'd be surprised how many apps bring their own :/ | 01:37 |

| hater2win | so you have to open through kaff? | 02:11 |
| Otrayo | ya | 02:11 |
| hater2win | i see i see | 02:11 |

| hater2win | well | 02:13 |
| hater2win | i just figured out | 02:13 |
| hater2win | its not opening non-locals even through "open a file | 02:14 |
| hater2win | but it opens up fine with "open a dir" | 02:14 |
| Otrayo | ya...kaffeine is wierd | 02:14 |

| hater2win | lets see it | 02:26 |
| supernix | that is why it is good to have 3mbps cable | 02:26 |
| Otrayo | supernix: omf, you got that? | 02:26 |
| supernix | Yup :D | 02:27 |
| Otrayo | www.oldskoolphreak.com/tfiles/hack/ubuntu.txt <-- looks good! | 02:27 |
| Otrayo | grrr... | 02:27 |
| supernix | I don't know what I ever did without it before | 02:27 |
| Otrayo | how much you pay for it supernix? | 02:27 |
| supernix | roughly around $50 a month | 02:27 |
| hater2win | not bad at all | 02:27 |
| Otrayo | any cap? | 02:27 |
| supernix | There is a 712kbps cap | 02:28 |
| Otrayo | mmm... | 02:28 |
| hater2win | not bad... | 02:28 |
| Otrayo | here in south africa im paying about the equivalent of about $100 for 512/256 dsl with a 3gig pm cap | 02:28 |
| hater2win | wow | 02:28 |
| supernix | that is bad that they don't have better communications lines than that | 02:29 |
| Otrayo | thats south africa for you... | 02:29 |
| Otrayo | we only have one national operator so they can charge as much as they want | 02:29 |
| supernix | I heard that you have to be rich to have communications lines at all in africa and other places like that | 02:29 |
| Otrayo | though a second one has been licensed | 02:29 |

| hater2win | engineering even | 02:32 |
| Otrayo | mmm...ok | 02:32 |
| hater2win | Otrayo: by the way, you dont know hwo much you scared me when you put haterwin on accident. the text didnt show up red and i thought something was wrong. When there is even a HINT that something is wrong in linux, i panic... LOL | 02:33 |
| Otrayo | lol | 02:34 |
| Otrayo | it is my goal in life to find something wrong in linux | 02:34 |
| hater2win | lol | 02:34 |
| Otrayo | or with linux if you like | 02:34 |
| Otrayo | i feel like a missionary though | 02:35 |
| hater2win | lol | 02:35 |
| Otrayo | im trying to get everyone i know to convert | 02:35 |
| hater2win | heh | 02:35 |
| Otrayo | like yesterday, my friend called my asking me how to convert music to mp3... | 02:35 |
| hater2win | its difficult, especially in the days where a windows machine is so easy to configure and set up | 02:35 |
| Otrayo | and i said you need specific software to do it, which doesnt come default with windows...but it does with linux | 02:36 |
| Otrayo | hater2win: i beg to differ | 02:36 |
| Otrayo | hater2win: i dont think linux is any harder, its just that when you've been using windows all your life, trying to learn to use a different o/s with a completely different architecture isnt easy | 02:37 |
| hater2win | Otrayo: the problem is, it DOES take some setting up. you have to enter commands and things like that intimidate people because computers intimidate people | 02:37 |
| Otrayo | if some were brought up using linux they would have no idea how to use windows | 02:37 |
| hater2win | true | 02:38 |
| Otrayo | hater2win: there are gui interfaces for almost every system setting that would need to be changed | 02:38 |
| Otrayo | the only time when you need to use the command line is when you want to do something very specific | 02:38 |
| Otrayo | something which "that other operating system" cant even do | 02:38 |
| hater2win | this is tru | 02:38 |
| Otrayo | anyway...enough ranting from me | 02:39 |
| hater2win | heh | 02:39 |
| hater2win | i agree/disagree with you | 02:39 |
| Otrayo | hehe | 02:39 |
| hater2win | i agree that its easy to set up, because i only started using linux a few days ago and im already getting used to things kind of. the routine is becoming farmiliar to me. | 02:39 |
| hater2win | but like i said. some things are just too intimidating for the average user | 02:40 |
| hater2win | it takes at least a LITTLE dedication | 02:40 |
| Otrayo | i agree, but doesnt "that other operating system" take some dedication as well | 02:40 |
| hater2win | alot of people will think "why the hell should i do this, when i could just hit install and its done with" | 02:41 |
| Otrayo | i mean you cant just put a complete n00b behind a windows desktop and tell them to install java for instance | 02:41 |
| hater2win | this is true | 02:41 |
| Otrayo | and with most of the newer distros you can also just hit install | 02:41 |
| hater2win | yeah | 02:42 |
| hater2win | and i agree | 02:42 |
| hater2win | its like a filter | 02:42 |
| hater2win | everybody has a breaking point | 02:42 |
| hater2win | except for absolute linux nerds (who, even some still have windows on their boxes) | 02:43 |
| hater2win | and those breaking points can vary | 02:43 |
| hater2win | for alot of people | 02:43 |
| Otrayo | ya i agree | 02:43 |
| hater2win | their breaking point IS having to learn wtf a partition is | 02:43 |
| hater2win | for some, it will be having to CREATE a partition | 02:43 |
| hater2win | for others, actually knowing how to install | 02:44 |
| hater2win | and it is like a giant funnel | 02:44 |
| hater2win | and at the very tip | 02:44 |
| Otrayo | true true, but i must argue, the same applies for a windows installation, you have to set partitions, etc | 02:44 |
| hater2win | well thats the thing, people can BUY a computer with windows on it and never have to reinstall in their life. they take it to best buy and pay 150 dollars to do something they could have done themselves | 02:45 |
| Otrayo | lol...true | 02:45 |
| Otrayo | but... | 02:45 |
| hater2win | some people have no clue what the hell a partition is, much less that it involves an installation | 02:45 |
| Otrayo | here in south africa i've seen companies selling build up computers | 02:45 |
| Otrayo | and offering a free installation of suse | 02:46 |
| Otrayo | and i'll admit, i do have a hard drive with windows on it, but i only boot into it every few months and only when i have to do an assignment which requires access or excel or vb, when i have no choice but to use microsoft software | 02:47 |
| Otrayo | if given the choice i would much rather use mysql or OO.o | 02:47 |
| hater2win | understandably so | 02:47 |
| hater2win | but its the same reason why firefox still has a 12% market share | 02:47 |
| hater2win | because some people just arent willing to understand | 02:47 |
| hater2win | and frankly, just dont give a damn | 02:48 |
| Otrayo | omg...12% is huge | 02:48 |
| hater2win | well | 02:48 |
| Otrayo | microsoft is shitting itself | 02:48 |
| hater2win | i know 12% is huge | 02:48 |
| hater2win | i know its huge | 02:48 |
| hater2win | its BIG TIME | 02:48 |
| hater2win | thats like... DAMN | 02:48 |
| hater2win | but | 02:48 |
| hater2win | 12% is still ONLY 12% | 02:48 |
| hater2win | its huge when you consider how dominant IE is | 02:48 |
| Otrayo | well, take a browser which comes installed by default with the operating system that runs on 90% of desktops | 02:48 |
| Otrayo | and -4t 5t 4- against a browser developed by a relatively small non profit company | 02:49 |
| Otrayo | gawd | 02:49 |
| Otrayo | and put it up against... | 02:49 |
| Otrayo | * | 02:49 |
| hater2win | i understand | 02:49 |
| hater2win | i know what you are saying | 02:49 |
| hater2win | and i agree | 02:49 |
| hater2win | all im saying is, more people "dont give a damn" than "do give a damn" | 02:50 |
| hater2win | and until that changes | 02:50 |
| hater2win | we will continue to see firefox and linux only "gaining steam" and not "running away with the market" | 02:50 |
| Otrayo | and the more people that "dont give a damn" will be the ones whos machines will be exploited and will eventually get fed up with windows and will make the switch just to get away from the bug-ridden, insecure windows | 02:51 |
| Otrayo | and those who "do give a damn" will say, "hey, this open source stuff is pretty cool" | 02:51 |
| Otrayo | and just switch anyway | 02:51 |
| hater2win | well yeah | 02:52 |
| Otrayo | hehe... | 02:52 |
| Otrayo | so the open source community benefits anyway | 02:52 |
| hater2win | and at the point when they get fed up | 02:53 |
| hater2win | is when they start giving a damn | 02:53 |
| hater2win | so yeah, once more people are converted from "dont give a damn" to "do give a damn" (by whatever means), then we will continue to see firefox and linux only "gaining steam" and not "running away with the market" | 02:53 |
| hater2win | yeah | 02:53 |
| hater2win | so in the end | 02:53 |
| hater2win | we are both right i guess | 02:53 |
| Otrayo | lol, i guess so | 02:53 |

| Otrayo | well glx are seperate from the ati driver which is flgrx or something | 03:05 |

| Otrayo | tru google | 03:05 |

| PowerMAC | i'm not even sure it does that | 03:34 |
| PowerMAC | I'm gonna download it again | 03:34 |
| kinus | just use the md5 | 03:35 |
| kinus | and maybe burn at a slower speed | 03:35 |
| PowerMAC | now I just burn the ISO to a CD right? | 03:35 |
| PowerMAC | using Nero | 03:35 |
| epod69_ | dont just put the iso file on the cd as a datafile, burn it to a cd as a cd image | 03:35 |
| PowerMAC | ya that's what i mean | 03:36 |
| epod69_ | ya, i think you did it right the first time then | 03:36 |
| redguy | if it does the problem is most likely to be a corrupt download, if it doesn't the problem would be your Dell not booting from cd. Try with Windows install cd perhaps? | 03:36 |
| epod69_ | are you sure you have the cd or removable media checked in the boot order before the hard drive | 03:36 |
| PowerMAC | Alright just checking cause in Nero it says something about a Bootable CD | 03:36 |
| PowerMAC | ya My Windows Install CD worsk fine | 03:37 |
| PowerMAC | *works | 03:37 |
| epod69_ | you shouldnt have to worry abou that, just burn the iso as a cd image to the cd | 03:37 |
| epod69_ | what is the size of the image file ? | 03:37 |
| kinus | file -> burn iso/cd image | 03:37 |
| redguy | then it's most likely a corrupt download, try md5 to make sure | 03:37 |
| PowerMAC | like 600MB | 03:37 |
| PowerMAC | kk I'm gonna redownload it | 03:38 |
| epod69_ | make sure it matches what it says the download size is | 03:38 |
| PowerMAC | kk | 03:38 |
| epod69_ | if the sizes match there is not need to waste bandwith downloadin it again | 03:38 |

| epod69_ | if you cant get nero to work, you could try downloading ' alcohol 120% ' for burning cd images, i think its easier, i think you can download a full trial version | 03:39 |
| redguy | epod69_: if matching size would determine if a download is corrupt or not, why would people use md5 sums? | 03:39 |
| Tri-bune | anybody can help me | 03:40 |
| epod69_ | just to make sure i guess...its very rare that if download sizes are correct that the file would be corrupt | 03:40 |

| epod69_ | coolblue, name them with a dot in front of them | 03:48 |
| coolblue | so simple!!!! | 03:49 |
| Tri-bune | if you install windows and want to share with linux you should partition with fat32 <- do i need to re install my window and reinstall my kubuntu? | 03:49 |
| PowerMAC | or | 03:49 |
| epod69_ | Tri-bune, you would have to reinstall windows | 03:49 |
| coolblue | anyone using mozilla here? | 03:49 |
| kinus | Tri-bune, the linux kernel is very limited when it comes to ntfs and you should only ever remount a ntfs partition as ro | 03:49 |
| PowerMAC | You could use PartitionMagic and create a new Parition for Ubunuto | 03:49 |

| nocloud | ooh, i think i found another reason why linux uses more power than windows....windows will run graphics cards at lower clock speeds to save power while the standard linux drivers run the graphics card at the same speed all the time | 05:42 |
| epod69 | Kamping_Kaiser, do you have the 386 kernel on your computer as well ? | 05:42 |
| kakalto | yo kaiser | 05:42 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | epod69: don't remember. let me check | 05:43 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | :) | 05:43 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | epod69: yes i do | 05:43 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | the default kernel | 05:43 |

| === _hater2win is now known as hater2win | ||
| Kamping_Kaiser | i was waiting for that hater2win | 05:44 |
| epod69 | hmm, cause in order to install nvidia it says you need to install the 386 kernel as well...and when I install nvidia through apt-get it doesnt work on my 686 kernel but it works on the 386 kernel | 05:44 |
| hater2win | Kamping_Kaiser: lol, just noticed it for some reason | 05:44 |
| kakalto | I will try out SuSe. | 05:44 |

| systemax | so someone from here help me out and led me through the process of getting the new alsa driver | 06:33 |
| systemax | which i did | 06:33 |
| systemax | i installed the driver, libs, utils and alsa oss stuff but still no sound and now i don't have a master volume control panel | 06:34 |
| systemax | and of course no sound | 06:34 |
| hater2win | hmm | 06:35 |
| systemax | i was thinking maybe i needed to install the alsa plugins but i'm a little stumped on how to do it or maybe that isn't my problem at all anyway i came back here since you guys help me out so much today | 06:35 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | IIRC KDE uses arts | 06:35 |
| systemax | i read something about arts and that turning it off may help but i'm not sure how | 06:36 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | and I'll just say now i havent had to deal with KDE sound before, so i may or may not be helpfull | 06:36 |
| systemax | any help would be appreciated | 06:37 |
| hater2win | i know a guy who had a problem similiar | 06:38 |

| Kamping_Kaiser | yeh | 06:52 |
| jeffm__ | i think so | 06:52 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | ok. so type "sudo (editor of your choise) /etc/network/interfaces" | 06:53 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | and editor of your choise would be nano, vim, kate, kedit etc | 06:54 |
| _leo | why does firefox looks awful in kubuntu?...i guess its something related with the gtk or qt stuff that i really dont understand much....is there anyway to manage that? | 06:56 |

| katana2k | could i plug the ethernet cable from the dsl modem into the fast ethernet switch, then plug the main and laptop somputers in there too? | 07:24 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | should be able to | 07:24 |

| Kamping_Kaiser | unless it's a realy fancy one | 07:25 |

| bjv | the windows rdc runs on port 8815 or something, i was watching a friend do some crap with it the other day. | 08:16 |
| benjamin1254 | what should i do ... should i ask for her ip and do it that way instead? | 08:16 |
| hater2win | why doesnt sudo cp /home/hater2win/azureus/ /etc/ work | 08:16 |

| Kamping_Kaiser | back | 08:21 |
| hater2win | bjv: i guess not | 08:22 |
| hater2win | would it be sudo cp -r /home/hater2win/azureus/ /etc/ | 08:22 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | hater2win: why do you want to do that? | 08:23 |
| hater2win | Kamping_Kaiser: i want to copy the azureus folder to /etc/ | 08:25 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | why? | 08:25 |
| bjv | i assume azureus is the config folder.. | 08:26 |
| hater2win | Kamping_Kaiser: because azureus runs only when you ./azureus | 08:26 |
| hater2win | its not an install | 08:26 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | but putting it in etc wont help :O | 08:26 |
| bjv | yeah, you need to link it to /usr/bin or something | 08:26 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | hater2win: do you have an "opt" folder? | 08:27 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | put azureus in /opt and run "ln -s /opt/azureus/azluancher /usr/bin/azureus | 08:28 |

| Agent-MHX | is it possible to save to a usb drive? | 08:29 |
| Agent-MHX | using live | 08:30 |
| bjv | you could go back into windows, make a fat32 part, ftw, and use that to shuttle between the 2. | 08:30 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | hater2win: because /etc/ is where system config files go. /opt/ is a place for root to install stuff if he wants | 08:30 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | Agent-MHX: i think so | 08:30 |
| bjv | yeah, usb drives are cake in linux | 08:30 |
| Agent-MHX | but when you partition in XP doesn't that delete everything? | 08:30 |
| bjv | mount /dev/sda0 or whatever. | 08:30 |
| hater2win | Kamping_Kaiser: ah ok | 08:31 |

| bjv | none? some? can you ping? | 09:25 |
| katana2k3 | i dont think i have any | 09:25 |
| bjv | ok | 09:25 |
| bjv | we start physical. how are the computers connected? | 09:25 |

| bjv | well, ill just assume you dont have any crossovers (xover is for connecting nic to nic) | 09:28 |
| bjv | they are often yellow, if your smart. :P | 09:28 |
| katana2k3 | ok | 09:28 |
| bjv | anyway. | 09:28 |
| katana2k3 | no crossovers | 09:28 |
| bjv | the machine you are on is what, running windows and the smb shares? | 09:28 |
| katana2k3 | its running windows xp | 09:28 |
| bjv | k | 09:28 |
| katana2k3 | what are smb shares? | 09:28 |
| bjv | windows shared folders. | 09:28 |
| katana2k3 | yeah i think there are a few shared folders | 09:29 |
| bjv | server message blocks, or whatever, is what the protocol is called. | 09:29 |
| bjv | anyway. | 09:29 |
| bjv | ok, you have got a switch. its been a while sense ive passed my compTIA exam.. | 09:29 |
| hater2win | http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/3342/screen18gp.jpg <-- thats from when I was running longhorn (vista) | 09:30 |
| bjv | a switch may or may not include DHCP? | 09:30 |
| katana2k3 | lol k | 09:30 |
| katana2k3 | dont know | 09:30 |
| katana2k3 | would it say on it? | 09:30 |

| katana2k3 | i dont know | 09:31 |
| bjv | screw it. do you know how to ping your switch? | 09:31 |
| katana2k3 | LOL no | 09:31 |
| bjv | ok | 09:31 |
| katana2k3 | im sorry, im a total noob to networking and linux | 09:31 |
| bjv | did you just buy this switch? | 09:31 |
| katana2k3 | no, my uncle gave it to me | 09:31 |
| bjv | alright. | 09:31 |
| bjv | did it come with a fine manual? :P | 09:32 |
| katana2k3 | no | 09:32 |
| bjv | alright.. | 09:32 |
| katana2k3 | but i can get it online | 09:32 |
| bjv | thats good. | 09:32 |
| pussfeller | since when do switches do dhcp | 09:32 |
| bjv | like i said it's been a while. | 09:32 |
| bjv | router < switch < hub ? | 09:33 |
| bjv | whatever | 09:33 |
| pussfeller | a switch or hub, which there is some technical difference but in practice used interchangibly will just allow you to connect a bunch of pc to a lan | 09:33 |
| katana2k3 | yeah | 09:33 |
| katana2k3 | router is best | 09:33 |
| bjv | katana2k3: get the ip of your win box, and that fine manual. :P | 09:34 |
| pussfeller | well a router will have its own firewalling in it and that can be a pain | 09:34 |
| bjv | but the ip first, that will be pretty telling. | 09:34 |
| pussfeller | you are trying to share a windows box as the gateway with a linux box on a lan? | 09:34 |
| bjv | he is trying to establish basic network connectivity. :P | 09:34 |
| katana2k3 | im connected to the internet through it. would it show up as the server IP adress when i click the lil computers in the system tray? | 09:35 |
| bjv | nein, the ip on the network card that is attached to the switch | 09:35 |
| bjv | the one you want to talk to the laptop over. | 09:35 |
| bjv | wait. what? | 09:35 |
| pussfeller | the box connceted to the internet has to have 2 nics one for the internet, one for the lan | 09:35 |
| bjv | "katana2k3: im connected to the internet through it" | 09:36 |
| katana2k3 | ok the IP for this comp is 209.161.226.70 | 09:36 |
| bjv | elaborate on "it" | 09:36 |
| pussfeller | and has to share the connection via nat or ics if its windows | 09:36 |
| bjv | ok, that sounds like the fake IP windows assigns when it doesnt have anything to talk to | 09:36 |
| bjv | change that IP to something useful, like 192.168.1.100 | 09:36 |
| pussfeller | but you should have the linux box be router | 09:37 |
| katana2k3 | ok, where do i do that | 09:37 |
| katana2k3 | and will it affect me | 09:37 |
| bjv | uh, you probably cant do "man ifconfig"... | 09:37 |
| pussfeller | its in the network setup gui somewhere | 09:38 |
| bjv | can you open the properties for the network card? | 09:38 |
| bjv | its under TCP/IP properites.. | 09:38 |
| katana2k3 | ok | 09:38 |
| bjv | 192.168.xxx.yyy is one of 2 or 3 'private' IP ranges | 09:38 |
| bjv | they arent used on the internet, so its OK to use them to connect your personal devices | 09:38 |
| pussfeller | that looks like his external ip | 09:39 |
| bjv | 209.161.226.70 ? | 09:39 |
| pussfeller | yeah | 09:39 |
| === administrator [n=administ@202.169.225.194] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| bjv | you are right... | 09:39 |
| bjv | yeah. | 09:39 |
| pussfeller | also if you are using dsl some of the modem act as a router of sorts and it isnt possible to share the connection unless you put it in bridge mode | 09:40 |
| katana2k3 | oh man | 09:40 |
| === ikypakis [i=t37@195.245.229.17] has joined #Kubuntu | ||
| katana2k3 | ok, so what is it you want me to do right now? | 09:41 |
| bjv | ok. | 09:41 |
| bjv | first, elaborate. | 09:41 |
| bjv | how are you connected to the internet? | 09:41 |
| katana2k3 | main computer connected to switch, from switch to DSL modem to internet | 09:42 |
| katana2k3 | its a DLink | 09:42 |
| bjv | is the DSL modem attached to a WAN port on the 'switch'? | 09:42 |
| pussfeller | unless I am missing something, you have to connect the modem to a computer | 09:42 |
| pussfeller | and then connect that computer with another ehternet card to the switch | 09:43 |
| katana2k3 | no you dont | 09:43 |
| bjv | the wan port would be separate from the others if it was there. | 09:43 |
| katana2k3 | no its not in a wan port | 09:43 |
| pussfeller | mine doesnt have a wan port | 09:43 |
| bjv | ok. | 09:43 |
| katana2k3 | it doesnt say anything about wan on the switch | 09:43 |
| bjv | ok, so you have a dsl modem, a laptop, and a desktop connected to the switch | 09:44 |
| katana2k3 | yeah | 09:44 |
| pussfeller | but he dosnt have it set up that way | 09:44 |
| bjv | so our objective is to have the modem set as gateway for both devices. | 09:44 |
| bjv | doesnt he? | 09:44 |
| pussfeller | are you using the computer that way now? | 09:44 |
| bjv | he is on the desktop. | 09:44 |
| katana2k3 | yeah and yeah | 09:44 |
| katana2k3 | and yeah | 09:44 |
| pussfeller | ok so it must be working that way then | 09:45 |
| bjv | ok, this is sounding easy now. :P | 09:45 |
| katana2k3 | lol thats good to hear | 09:45 |
| === ikypakis [i=t11@195.245.229.17] has joined #Kubuntu | ||
| bjv | your windows card should have 1) an IP, 2) a netmask, 3) a gateway | 09:45 |
| bjv | the gateway address should be == to the dsl modems IP | 09:46 |
| bjv | you are going to want to set your laptops netmask == to the desktops netmask | 09:46 |
| katana2k3 | ok, where do i find all that stuff | 09:46 |
| bjv | where to find in windows.. | 09:46 |
| bjv | well you only have 1 network device on the desktop, right? | 09:46 |
| katana2k3 | yeah | 09:47 |
| bjv | then you should be able to open properties on it, and get a little box | 09:47 |
| pussfeller | using dhcp doessnt work from the laptop? | 09:47 |
| bjv | its a switch. | 09:47 |
| bjv | :\ | 09:47 |
| pussfeller | yeah, but the modem might have dhcp init | 09:48 |
| bjv | w/e | 09:48 |
| katana2k3 | wait, i have a bunch of imformation that i got from putting in 'ipconfig /all' in a DOS prompt | 09:48 |
| bjv | we are going to fake it. :P | 09:48 |
| bjv | that will work i guess. | 09:48 |
| katana2k3 | what do we need? | 09:48 |
| bjv | IP | 09:48 |
| bjv | netmask | 09:48 |
| bjv | gateway | 09:48 |
| katana2k3 | subnetmask? | 09:49 |
| bjv | yes. | 09:49 |
| katana2k3 | ok, which IP | 09:50 |
| bjv | oh | 09:50 |
| bjv | dont use the one that says 127.0.0.1 | 09:50 |
| katana2k3 | i have one for my internet connection, and my nic card | 09:50 |
| bjv | i thought you said that the nic was connected to the switch. | 09:50 |
| bjv | and you were pulling the connection over it. | 09:50 |
| katana2k3 | it is | 09:51 |
| katana2k3 | i am | 09:51 |
| katana2k3 | ok, ill email you all the info it gave me | 09:51 |
| pussfeller | heh | 09:51 |
| bjv | just /msg bjv it | 09:51 |
| katana2k3 | it will probably kick me though | 09:51 |
| bjv | that would send it to just me, not the whole channel | 09:52 |

| katana2k3 | ok | 10:05 |
| katana2k3 | ill type that in | 10:05 |
| bjv | to set netmask is. uh. type man ifconfig | 10:05 |
| bjv | :P | 10:05 |

| katana2k3 | where do you want me to put in that stuff? | 10:23 |
| benjamin1254 | so people could log onto my pc | 10:23 |
| bjv | there should already be a default eth0 entry | 10:23 |

| bjv | ive never looked into hosting my own IRC server | 10:24 |
| benjamin1254 | i want to so bad | 10:24 |

| bjv | apt-cache search irc server? | 10:24 |
| bjv | katana2k3: im pretty sure there isnt a dhcp server on your lil network. | 10:25 |

| bjv | some ifconfig eth0 if you want to see if the changes are active | 10:35 |
| katana2k3 | try a weebsite? | 10:35 |
| benjamin1254 | man thats thefirst time ive seen people chat that much in this room | 10:35 |

| katana2k3 | ok | 10:36 |
| nikkia | bjv, need to reload the changes first :) | 10:36 |
| bjv | some open a webpage to see if GuyOnInternet has correctly totally randomly guessed what your network setup is like. | 10:36 |
| bjv | does he? then do the hardest reset you can muster. | 10:36 |
| bjv | :P | 10:37 |
| katana2k3 | lol ok ill reset it | 10:37 |
| nikkia | ifup eth0 might work | 10:37 |
| === azol [n=konversa@213.252.195.27] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| bjv | or maybe the hardest reset he can muster. | 10:37 |
| bjv | ;P | 10:37 |
| nikkia | sadly, since kubuntu uses hotplug to config the network, its not guarenteed, the only sure fire way is to reboot | 10:37 |
| katana2k3 | k | 10:38 |
| bjv | ifdown + ifup is all he really needs to do. | 10:38 |
| bjv | a reset will let us know if i made him bork is computer with vi | 10:38 |
| bjv | :P | 10:38 |
| benjamin1254 | so it does almost everything through hotplug right? | 10:38 |
| bjv | init 6 as root will restart. | 10:38 |
| bjv | if you care to know, katana2k3. | 10:39 |
| katana2k3 | ok thanks | 10:39 |
| === Bubbling_Zombie [n=zombie@dD577A0CC.access.telenet.be] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| nikkia | bjv, the problem is, the way hotplug does interface assignment actually confuses the ifup/down scripts sometimes, and you just get 'interface already configured' or 'interface not configured' when you try to use ifupdown stuff | 10:40 |
| bjv | well, he's a-resettin' anyway. | 10:41 |
| bjv | ;| | 10:41 |
| katana2k3 | ok its back up | 10:41 |

| bjv | 192.168.0.2 | 10:43 |
| bjv | to see if our changes took. | 10:43 |
| katana2k3 | its there | 10:43 |

| bjv | datas it is. | 10:44 |
| bjv | you will notice if it is dataing. | 10:44 |

| bjv | switch. | 10:59 |
| bjv | jesus. | 10:59 |
| === nikkia relooks at bjv's instructions | ||
| nikkia | bjv, that gateway line won't work | 10:59 |
| nikkia | the gateway *must* be within the netmask of the interface, ie 192.168.0.* | 11:00 |
| bjv | yeah, the gateway is going to have to be 192.168.0.1 | 11:00 |
| bjv | true. | 11:00 |
| bjv | i have no real idea wtf is going on with his modem though. | 11:00 |
| bjv | as far as i care, the best thing now is to route the dsl direct to his nic | 11:00 |
| nikkia | i'd double check that 192.168.0.* is actually the network tho | 11:00 |
| bjv | :/ | 11:01 |
| benjamin1254 | 192 is usally the router ip | 11:01 |
| nikkia | not being able to ping 192.168.0.1 suggests that the network is wrong | 11:01 |
| bjv | ping 192.168.0.1 and see what we get. | 11:01 |
| nikkia | bjv: he did, host unreachable | 11:01 |
| bjv | then ping 192.168.0.99 | 11:01 |
| bjv | compare the errors. | 11:01 |
| bjv | probably the same. | 11:01 |
| katana2k3 | same | 11:02 |
| bjv | yeah | 11:02 |
| nikkia | bjv, can you double check the network info on the desktop for me | 11:02 |
| bjv | ifconfig on the windows box reports 192.168.0.1 | 11:03 |
| bjv | katana2k3: recheck it? | 11:03 |
| nikkia | wait, is the windows box running connection sharing ? | 11:03 |
| bjv | no | 11:03 |
| bjv | i think we should now work under the assumption that the win box magically connects directly to the DSL modem. | 11:03 |
| bjv | there is no way we can touch it. | 11:03 |
| bjv | so... | 11:03 |
| nikkia | bjv, yeah, i was thinking it might be bridged myself | 11:03 |
| bjv | we will *make* the windows box share it. | 11:04 |
| nikkia | one good thing about ICS... | 11:04 |
| nikkia | it includes a dhcp server :) | 11:04 |
| bjv | eh | 11:04 |
| bjv | we already have the laptop working on 192.168.0.2 | 11:04 |
| bjv | share the connection. | 11:04 |
| nikkia | bjv, no, we don't have it 'working' otherwise we wouldn't get 'host unreachable' :) | 11:04 |
| bjv | ensure the windows boxen nic is set to 0.1 | 11:04 |
| nikkia | bjv, and if you're going to enable ICS on that windows box for him, you have a shock coming :P | 11:05 |
| katana2k3 | is there another way to check? | 11:05 |
| nikkia | bjv, in that enabling ICS completely rewrites the LAN ips with its own private network mask, and requests that you run dhcp on the clients :/ | 11:05 |
| bjv | argh. nikkia is right on point 1 at least. | 11:05 |
| bjv | ICS.. | 11:06 |

| bjv | with static ip's to boot. | 11:06 |
| bjv | ://// | 11:06 |
| nikkia | bjv, i have, it was a nightmare, but thats only because i already had a dhcpd on the LAN, and the two clashed - forcing none of the machines to have working TCP :) | 11:06 |
| === m0ns00n^main is now known as m0ns00n | ||
| katana2k3 | i noticed that when it was booting up again, it failed to get a name...or something | 11:07 |
| nikkia | bjv, on a 'dumb' setup, ICS is pretty easy to get working - enable ICS on the windows PC, and set the rest of the hosts to dhcp discovery from that machine | 11:07 |
| bjv | well we can be assured he has no DynamicHostConfigurationProtocal on his network. | 11:07 |
| bjv | i think. | 11:07 |
| bjv | :\ | 11:07 |
| nikkia | bjv, i wouldn't assume that | 11:07 |
| nikkia | bjv, if the modem isn't bridged, it might be serving its own dhcp | 11:07 |
| bjv | i really think the modem is bridged now. | 11:07 |
| nikkia | it might even be serving dhcp in bridge mode (in which case, it will report ONE address - the public IP) | 11:08 |
| bjv | not that he would be able to ping it anyway | 11:08 |
| benjamin1254 | bvjv how would u runf packages u know uhave instelled but just wont show up.. i know i asked this b4 its just i ned 2 be reminded again | 11:08 |

| Phantom^^ | can anyone tell me how i connect to a shared folder on mac from kubuntu | 12:03 |
| nikkia | morning Phantom^^ | 12:04 |
| nikkia | Phantom^^: depends on what method(s) the mac is using to share files | 12:05 |
| nikkia | on OS X, its probably easiest to just enable samba and use that :) | 12:05 |
| jpatrick | I could never get Samba to work :-/ | 12:05 |
| toma | cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp gives me a nice noise, but further then that I'm hearing nothing. | 12:05 |
| nikkia | on pre-OS X macs, you'll need to get appletalk/netatalk working, its not fun | 12:06 |
| === nikkia stares accusingly at linux | ||
| nikkia | 800MB of swap used? *where*? | 12:07 |
| jpatrick | holy... | 12:07 |
| nikkia | jpatrick: the largest process is java, with 140MB used, but even adding everything up, i don't see how its using all 1GB of ram + 800GB of swap | 12:08 |
| nikkia | there are only 3 processes over 50MB, those being java and X (both ~140MB) and artsd (120MB) | 12:09 |
| nikkia | then it drops to 50MB for firefox, and rapidly gets smaller below that | 12:09 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | lol. | 12:09 |

| === troglodyt [n=user@204-101-205-72.anikast.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| nikkia | firefox and thunderbird are both using around 50MB, *but* they both are sharing 22MB of libs, so the real footprint is probably around 75MB for the pair | 12:10 |

| hussam | why does Xorg use so much memory? I have just 384MB so 150 | 12:12 |
| jpatrick | in KSpread | 12:12 |
| nikkia | hussam: images | 12:12 |
| nikkia | hussam: its the 'flaw' of modern desktops | 12:12 |
| nikkia | since everything is pixmap based, X bloats to a huge size with all of your widgets and skins | 12:12 |
| nikkia | if you run twm and stick to Xaw/Xlib apps, you'll see X stays tiny | 12:12 |
| jpatrick | yes i've deleted it at last | 12:13 |
| hussam | nikkia: will this stay the same or will it be improved or fixed in the future? | 12:13 |
| nikkia | oh, and always read the 'res' column, X lists huge chunks of non-real memory in its full memory figure | 12:13 |
| nikkia | hussam: it'll get worse | 12:13 |
| === grimse [n=grimse@p5481E699.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| hussam | nikkia: doh! | 12:13 |
| nikkia | hussam: when you start adding in huge chunks of composite usage, you'll see X storing huge numbers of window pixmaps to handle alpha blending | 12:14 |
| nikkia | i wouldn't be surprised to see ~300-400MB usage being common for X with KDE4 and onwards | 12:15 |
| === martin is now known as DoktorTomoe | ||
| nikkia | hussam: as much as i hate the 'X is a braindead system' slashdot trolls, it really does need to be scrapped and start fresh, at this point | 12:15 |
| === PieD [n=Pierre@ALille-251-1-59-150.w82-127.abo.wanadoo.fr] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| DoktorTomoe | Well, I certainly hope I won't need any fancy graphics card for KDE4. | 12:16 |
| hussam | nikkia: I see your point. the problem is that I only have a 384 MB ram. | 12:16 |
| nikkia | hussam, as i said tho, you have to read the 'res' column for true X usage, because things like the full memory space of the video card, get counted into the 'virt' column | 12:16 |
| DoktorTomoe | hussam: I only have 256 MB Ram on my productive workstation, and X works just fine | 12:17 |
| seaLne | if you have free RAM it will get used | 12:17 |
| hussam | nikkia: res? you mean VmRss ( in KDE sysguard ) | 12:18 |
| nikkia | hussam: as time goes on, most likely you'll find it gets 'troublesome', at first, you'll probably not notice huge swap usage, but instead start to see X get more and more sluggish as it can't maintain its pixmap caches well | 12:18 |
| nikkia | hussam: yes | 12:19 |
| hussam | nikkia: what's the difference between VmRss and VmSize ? | 12:19 |
| nikkia | hussam: VmSize counts all the other stuff, including virtual memory - such as the video card's memory space | 12:19 |
| nikkia | hussam: RSS is the resident memory usage, actual memory that is being used, VmSize is *everything* | 12:20 |
| hussam | Ok I understand that now, thanks for the explanation. | 12:20 |
| nikkia | hussam: for example, in unix systems, there's a function called 'mmap' which maps a file (which might not actually be a real file) into memory space, if you mmap a 1GB file, it will show up as 1GB usage in VmSize, but its not really using 1GB of memory, the file is read and returned 'as needed' | 12:20 |

| nikkia | if you feel bored, you can even turn on 'insult mode' for sudo | 12:44 |
| nikkia | where it insults you if you type the password wrong | 12:44 |
| PieD | is it planned to remove useless services from default installation of ubuntu/kubuntu ? | 12:44 |
| PieD | I just installed the latest breezy snapshot under qemu, and I see : | 12:44 |
| PieD | "Starting RAID devices" | 12:44 |
| PieD | quite useless, isn't it ? | 12:44 |
| nikkia | pied, not if you choose to use linux's soft-raid | 12:45 |
| PieD | I didn't | 12:45 |
| nikkia | pied, thats not the point | 12:45 |
| PieD | I also see : | 12:45 |
| PieD | "Setting up LVM volume groups" | 12:45 |
| nikkia | pied, the soft-raid stuff is installed as part of the base linux install | 12:45 |
| PieD | "Starting EVMS" | 12:45 |
| === fromoze [n=fromoze@251.Red-83-33-134.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| PieD | that's useless, time and memory consuming | 12:45 |
| nikkia | i'd say EVMS should be removed, but LVM is part of soft-raid :) | 12:45 |
| PieD | especially evms AND lvm | 12:45 |
| PieD | nikkia: isn't it only device mapper ? | 12:46 |
| PieD | LVM isn't device mapper | 12:46 |
| nikkia | PieD: they're not functional equivalents | 12:46 |
| === toma is away: later | ||
| === toma is now known as toma_ | ||
| PieD | but that services aren't necessary on most computers | 12:46 |
| nikkia | pied, if someone enables a LVM group, and kubuntu doesn't start it up, they'd be annoyed | 12:46 |
| nikkia | pied, and afaik, it doesn't waste memory really anyway | 12:47 |
| PieD | the detection of LVM is possible | 12:47 |
| PieD | it wastes CPU time for the boot | 12:47 |
| nikkia | PieD: oh no, half a second longer boots, the horrors! | 12:47 |
| PieD | ubuntu doesn't start really quickly, why overloading it ? | 12:47 |
| PieD | it'd be more something like 2 seconds | 12:48 |
| PieD | (so about 3% of the boot process) | 12:49 |
| nikkia | and how often do you reboot ? | 12:50 |
| PieD | I ? only one time a day | 12:51 |
| PieD | but a lot of users I know halt and start their computer 5 times a day | 12:51 |
| PieD | (about 5...) | 12:52 |
| === nikkia shrugs | ||
| nikkia | they're doing something wrong then :) | 12:52 |
| PieD | yes, I know | 12:52 |
| nikkia | i reboot once every 3-4 months on average | 12:52 |
| PieD | I hate such behaviors for non-server computers (letting it running 24 hours a day) | 12:53 |
| nikkia | why? its safer | 12:53 |
| nikkia | themal shock is the enemy of a modern PC | 12:53 |
| nikkia | thermal, even | 12:53 |
| PieD | it's energy consuming | 12:53 |
| buz | no heat is the enemy of drives | 12:53 |
| nikkia | buz, thermal shock is more dangerous to them | 12:54 |
| buz | ever tried to rma a drive that got over 55 once? | 12:55 |
| nikkia | buz, a HDD will survive for pretty much its rated life at any temperature over 0C and under 55C, if you're over 55C you're going to have serious trouble | 12:55 |
| buz | no | 12:55 |
| ztonzy | nice, just got my 15 Ubuntu CD's to give away :) | 12:55 |
| buz | even at 55 its life will be vastly shorter | 12:55 |
| buz | for best measure, be below 40 | 12:55 |
| buz | same goes for psus, btw | 12:55 |
| nikkia | buz, the fact remains, thermal shock going from room temp to 55C more than occasionally, is going to do more damage than running at 55C is, anyway | 12:56 |
| buz | mh i have more drives seen fail running 24/7 at high temperatures than those in desktops | 12:57 |
| nikkia | IBM deathstars may fair better there, assuming they're not the bad deathstars :) | 12:57 |
| ztonzy | nikkia: mine was :-\ | 12:57 |
| buz | deathstars arent even supposed to be run 24*7 | 12:57 |
| nikkia | buz, glass platters survive thermal shock better than metal platters tho | 12:57 |
| buz | u sure? | 12:58 |
| nikkia | buz, yes | 12:58 |
| buz | ever tried shock cooling hot glass? | 12:58 |
| buz | not even expensive laboratory glass particularly likes it | 12:58 |
| nikkia | buz, thats something different | 12:59 |
| buz | if that reasoning was true, notebook drives would have to fail all the time | 12:59 |

| nikkia | buz, out of all the drives i've owned, i've only ever had 4 die before they got thrown away for being ridiculously small | 01:05 |
| buz | mhh ive had die plenty | 01:05 |
| Will__ | I need to rig up a cooling solution for this box. 4 HDDS and the main drive locks when it overheats | 01:05 |
| buz | more than i replaced for being too small | 01:05 |
| buz | Will__: get a antec slk3700 case | 01:05 |
| nikkia | and of those 4, 2 were a defective seagate design, 1 was a quantum scsi-3 that 'died' then started working miraculously months later (stuck platter), and still worked when it was tossed | 01:05 |
| buz | you can put a nice slow 120mm fan in front of the 6 drives it can hold | 01:06 |
| nikkia | the last remaining drive in the list, was a 80GB deathstar that was in theory one of the bad ones, but survived 4 years before it started clicking | 01:06 |
| Will__ | buz: If I could afford that then I'd buy another drive to replace this flakey one | 01:06 |
| PieD | I just installed breezy | 01:06 |
| buz | i had everything besides samsung (which i dont own too long) die on me | 01:06 |
| buz | hows breezy these days? | 01:06 |
| PieD | and the X server tells me "version 6.8.2" | 01:06 |
| PieD | buz: buggy, but usable | 01:06 |
| PieD | (I installed it in qemu) | 01:06 |
| buz | is it nearing productive quality? | 01:06 |
| Will__ | Did the deathstars not have 5 plates instead of 4, which made the heads more likely to crash into something? | 01:06 |
| buz | ah | 01:06 |
| buz | might do that some time :) | 01:07 |
| PieD | for instance, don't use kdm | 01:07 |
| buz | the small ones surely dont | 01:07 |
| PieD | I believed breezy was using X11R7 !! | 01:07 |
| buz | and i had all of them suckers die | 01:07 |
| buz | but also maxtor, western digital, seagate | 01:07 |
| Will__ | I'll upgrade my os when e17 comes out! | 01:07 |
| buz | i treat drives as consumables, really | 01:07 |
| PieD | Will__: e17 sux | 01:07 |
| nikkia | buz, oh, i did once have a WD drive that was DOA | 01:07 |
| buz | they'll occasionally fail so you need backups ;) | 01:07 |
| Will__ | PieD: since when? | 01:07 |
| nikkia | 20GB of bad sectors on a brand new out of the box 80GB drive | 01:07 |
| PieD | since it exists | 01:08 |
| buz | which in my case means rsyncing /home against one of our webservers | 01:08 |
| buz | also gives me fire proof backup ;) | 01:08 |
| nikkia | Will__: as i understood it, no, the deathstars were a standard 20GB/platter arrangement | 01:08 |
| buz | and at least in theory, access to all files from whereeve i am | 01:08 |
| nikkia | Will__: the major difference was that the platters were glass | 01:08 |
| buz | yes and i had 40gb ones die en masse | 01:08 |
| buz | i refuse to buy ibm / hitachi drives ever since | 01:09 |
| Will__ | nikkia: Ahh. I'd heard different. Why did the glass not help? | 01:09 |
| nikkia | Will__: it did, if you had a good one | 01:09 |
| buz | i've come to the conclusion that they all are crap | 01:09 |
| buz | so i buy samsng, these are at least rather silent | 01:09 |
| nikkia | Will__: i suspect it was manufacturing defects in the glass that caused half the problems | 01:09 |
| buz | i suspect it was the logic | 01:09 |
| buz | we swapped logic boards once and it started to work again | 01:09 |
| Will__ | nikkia: I can imagine making tolerant glass was/is much more difficult than doing the same with metal | 01:09 |
| nikkia | buz, still, not quite as nasty as the logic problem with my 2 seagates :) | 01:10 |
| nikkia | buz, a 131MB and a 250MB drive, both had fuses on the logic board *catch fire* | 01:10 |
| buz | mhh i had a couple of 3 year old seagates fail recently | 01:10 |
| seaLne | anyone using breezy could you do me a favour and check that you can access a basic auth protected page in konqueror? i'm very confused as to why this isn't working as from the looks of it konq hasn't changed in a while | 01:10 |

| nikkia | EasterSunshine: i still have a 20yo scsi drive that works perfectly (slowly) somewhere | 01:12 |
| Will__ | thick black smoke and all | 01:12 |
| buz | most of my friends pretty much accept that drives will fail occasionally | 01:12 |
| EasterSunshine | a drive failing is like...the end of the world to me | 01:12 |
| nikkia | of the 6 HDDs in my system right now, 4 of them are older than 5 years | 01:12 |
| buz | that's why i have raid1 ;) | 01:12 |
| buz | and offsite backup, at least daily ;) | 01:12 |
| nikkia | the 2 120GB drives are only slightly newer | 01:13 |
| EasterSunshine | isn't raid1 like half the space that you paid for, cause of data redudancy | 01:13 |
| buz | yes | 01:13 |
| buz | but ten times more valuable | 01:13 |
| buz | i cant stand data loss | 01:13 |

| foodcoman | Need to edit manually? | 05:33 |
| nikkia | foodcoman: sudo cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/PST8PDT /etc/localtime | 05:33 |
| foodcoman | Gracias amigo. | 05:33 |
| Phantom^^ | can anyone tell what the best news reader for kde is / | 05:34 |
| nikkia | unfortunately, tzconfig only sets up TZ= in the env | 05:34 |
| nikkia | which tends to get lost along the way eventually, and thus you revert back to UTC | 05:34 |
| nikkia | Phantom^^: depends on what kind of news you plan to read | 05:35 |
| Phantom^^ | hehe | 05:35 |
| Phantom^^ | umm probably the kind you want to download | 05:35 |
| nikkia | Phantom^^: i personally am rather partial to slrn, but its not GUI, so its not in the least bit useful for reading the porn groups | 05:36 |
| apokryphos | Phantom^^: KNode is a popular one; for RSS feeds -> aKregator | 05:36 |
| foodcoman | Seems strange you have to set in /etc/localtime and change the setting in KDE Adjust Date time timezone. | 05:36 |
| Phantom^^ | what about RSSOwl ? | 05:36 |
| Phantom^^ | i'm reading the unofficial ubuntu guide and it has two on it | 05:36 |
| Phantom^^ | one is called pan | 05:36 |
| Phantom^^ | and the other is RSSOwl | 05:37 |
| apokryphos | never heard of rssowl; heard of pan | 05:37 |
| nikkia | eww, pan | 05:37 |
| apokryphos | ubuntuguide is bad | 05:37 |
| apokryphos | and it doesn't consider kde stuff :) | 05:37 |
| Phantom^^ | ok | 05:37 |
| apokryphos | (generally) | 05:37 |
| nikkia | Phantom^^: pan is a rather ugly, buggy, and crashy gnome newsreader :P | 05:37 |
| Phantom^^ | ok | 05:37 |
| foodcoman | I guess the /etc/localtime changes for the system and KDE displays whatever its configured to show. | 05:37 |
| Phantom^^ | so i guess | 05:37 |

| sproingie | akregator was really crashy for me when i tried it last | 05:38 |
| sproingie | is knode more stable? | 05:38 |
| nikkia | sproingie: last time i ran knode, it wasn't very stable | 05:38 |
| apokryphos | the aKregator I have from repos works quite fine | 05:38 |
| sproingie | bah | 05:38 |
| nikkia | but that was a while ago | 05:38 |
| foodcoman | Thank you nikkia: | 05:38 |

| sproingie | i finally got fed up with konversation and ditched it | 05:39 |
| apokryphos | KNode/aKregator are kdepim, too; so they integrate with Kontact | 05:39 |

| apokryphos | sproingie: what was wrong with konversation? | 05:39 |
| apokryphos | I wonder if I got lucky. Any stability issues with KDE apps I simply haven't experienced on Kubuntu | 05:40 |
| sproingie | apokryphos: it gets into this mode where the input bar loses the cursor, deletes don't track the cursor location but are one off or so, and when you backspace far enough back, it crashes | 05:40 |

| sproingie | Konversation: 0.18 #3016 | 05:41 |
| Phantom^^ | i'm gonna try krn | 05:41 |
| apokryphos | Hm, yeah, same here. Never had a Konversation crash, but did have to kill it once when typing /list :| | 05:41 |
| sproingie | well, /list on most irc networks is suicide | 05:42 |
| apokryphos | I know that now ;-). Thought it was the command to display nicks in channel | 05:42 |
| nikkia | foodcoman: oh, and btw, don't call me 'amigo' again :P | 05:42 |
| sproingie | i guess konversation isn't as multithreaded as it should be | 05:42 |
| sproingie | it should just chew up your bandwidth, but not lock up the client | 05:42 |
| sproingie | well i gotta mosey off to work | 05:43 |
| apokryphos | I like konversation because it's always just "worked" fine for me, and isn't cpu intensive etc. The extra lil' commands are cool/handy, too | 05:43 |

| nikkia | apokryphos: it didn't work anymore after rebooting (i missed a couple of modules when i built my kernel...) | 05:45 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: i'm tempted to suspect its them tho, as i can access their servers via IPv6, and pinging the net at large makes my modem's LEDs flicker, but it doesn't seem to get routed outside of freenet6 | 05:46 |

| nikkia | frank, if you have an IPv6 connection to the net, the address for each network card is unique and routable | 06:29 |
| nikkia | if your ISP doesn't offer IPv6, then your only choice is at the moment to use a tunnel broker | 06:29 |

| luminerd | jpatrick, I got one from KDE-Look | 08:21 |
| luminerd | jpatrick, what directory shall I put the icons in? | 08:21 |
| jpatrick | go to the Control Centre -> then icons | 08:22 |
| luminerd | so that I can use the control center thing | 08:22 |
| luminerd | ...dude yea but where do I put the icons I downloaded? | 08:22 |
| jpatrick | leave them | 08:22 |
| luminerd | on my desktop? no thanks...I'll sooner make /icons | 08:22 |

| luminerd | oh wait | 10:01 |
| luminerd | all 4 of them? | 10:01 |
| apokryphos | my sources.list for example: http://giannaros.org/sources.list | 10:01 |

| luminerd | apokryphos, do I need this for something as simple as a window decor lol | 10:02 |
| luminerd | apokryphos, oh, no, apt-get update? | 10:02 |
| apokryphos | Well, this is basic stuff -- after you'll be able to install a superfluity of things very easily | 10:03 |
| apokryphos | and yes, you have to apt-get update after every alteration of sources.list if you want it to apply | 10:03 |

| _StarScream | seaLne: hmm you know i didn't even realise it was kde 3.4.0...i just assumed from the "new" Kmenu icon it was 3.4 | 10:10 |
| _StarScream | 3.4.2 rather | 10:10 |

| apokryphos | ...that it returned | 10:11 |
| Riddell | hussam: kpdf in 3.4.2 is not affected | 10:12 |
| _StarScream | apokryphos: in that case, wouldn't it make sense for 3.4.2 to be added to hoary? | 10:12 |
| apokryphos | _StarScream: added? Hoary has already been released | 10:12 |
| luminerd | apokryphos, ...that is the error | 10:12 |
| apokryphos | luminerd: can you pastebin the whole output? | 10:13 |
| luminerd | apokryphos, that's the last line | 10:13 |
| _StarScream | apokryphos: well "updated" i.e new packages added as an update | 10:13 |

| seaLne | they are in breezy, i don't have a hoary box to hand | 10:19 |
| luminerd | apokryphos, what did you mean by update my kde? | 10:20 |
| luminerd | my kde-devel? | 10:20 |
| seaLne | dgibb: libkorundum0-ruby1.8 in breezy | 10:20 |
| apokryphos | luminerd: no, you add the sources then sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get upgrade | 10:20 |
| seaLne | check in hoary for it | 10:20 |
| dgibb | seaLne: sweet, I'll check it out | 10:21 |
| luminerd | apokryphos, ok | 10:21 |
| _StarScream | seaLne: the 3.4.2 packages above aren't available for PPC | 10:21 |
| _StarScream | :( | 10:21 |
| seaLne | awww :( | 10:22 |
| seaLne | wonder why | 10:22 |
| dgibb | how 'unstable' is breezy anyway? | 10:22 |
| seaLne | is that package not in hoary? | 10:22 |
| luminerd | screwy | 10:22 |
| luminerd | it won't let me update. | 10:22 |
| luminerd | that sucks | 10:22 |
| luminerd | I gtota go | 10:23 |
| luminerd | bbl | 10:23 |
| dgibb | seaLne: nope | 10:23 |
| dgibb | would it work if I used that package from breezy but kept everything else with hoary? | 10:23 |
| seaLne | Version: 4:3.4.2-0ubuntu1 | 10:24 |
| seaLne | Depends: libqt0-ruby1.8 (= 4:3.4.2-0ubuntu1), libc6 (>= 2.3.4-1), libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0.0-9), libruby1.8 (>= 1.8.2-9), libsmokekde1 (>= 4:3.4.2-0ubuntu1), libstdc++6 (>= 4.0.1) | 10:24 |

| seaLne | Korundum is really nice btw i started playing with it this morning | 10:25 |
| apokryphos | dgibb: pretty unstable | 10:26 |
| seaLne | probably not any worse than sid | 10:27 |

| dgibb | is the dist-upgrade necessary? I was thinking of just trying to install korundum, and let it sort out the dependencies | 10:51 |
