| George | I ought to try out Kubuntu some day | 12:12 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | What do you use now? | 12:13 |
| George | Gentoo | 12:13 |
| George | amd64 and ppc | 12:13 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | Nice | 12:13 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | Heard it's fast. Is that true? | 12:13 |
| George | reasonably | 12:14 |
| jrattner1 | In my last KDE session I had several programs open when I ended the session, now when I try to open KDE it doesnt load, and I feel its because KDE is trying to load all of the programs of the last session | 12:14 |
| jrattner1 | how can I get KDE working again? | 12:14 |
| George | erm | 12:14 |
| George | the session stuff is in $KDEHOME/share/config/sessions iirc | 12:15 |
| jrattner1 | George, so what should i do with that | 12:15 |
| George | are you trying to load KDE at the moment? | 12:15 |
| jrattner1 | im in gnome right now | 12:15 |
| George | bah | 12:15 |
| George | when it's trying to load kde, switch to VT1 then login and run "top" | 12:16 |
| George | see if any of the KDE processes are using full CPU | 12:16 |
| George | and kill them if they are | 12:16 |
| jrattner1 | George, ok then? | 12:16 |
| George | that might sort it out to a point that KDE will load | 12:16 |
| jrattner1 | ok | 12:16 |
| jrattner1 | let me try it be right back | 12:16 |
| George | otherwise, move ~/.kde to another location such as ~/.kde.bak | 12:17 |
| George | bah. | 12:17 |
| George | he's gone. | 12:17 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | He'll be back. They ALL come back! | 12:17 |
| George | lol | 12:17 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | Well, they do | 12:17 |
| George | Riddell: 16 days until akademy :) | 12:17 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | What's that? | 12:18 |
| George | KDE World Con | 12:18 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | Ooh, sounds important | 12:18 |
| George | heh | 12:18 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | Are you going, George? | 12:19 |
| George | yes | 12:19 |
| George | trying to fix Phantom^^'s problem is annoying :) | 12:19 |
| === jrattner1 [n=jrattner@ool-4354b2f1.dyn.optonline.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| jrattner1 | nope | 12:20 |
| jrattner1 | any other ideas George ? | 12:20 |
| George | yeah | 12:20 |
| George | move ~/.kde to somewhere else | 12:20 |
| George | like ~/.kde.bak | 12:20 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | format c: | 12:20 |
| jrattner1 | ok.. | 12:20 |
| George | and see if that works when you next load KDE | 12:20 |
| George | that will essentially remove the KDE configuration files | 12:20 |
| George | so KDE will start again with default values | 12:21 |
| aseigo | George: 16 days till you either: | 12:21 |
| aseigo | a) get to look after peyton | 12:21 |
| George | aseigo: I am NOT LOOKING AFTER PEYTON. | 12:21 |
| aseigo | b) get to meet that boy^Wgirl | 12:21 |
| jrattner1 | so mv ~/.kde ~/.kde-back ? | 12:21 |
| George | yes | 12:21 |
| jrattner1 | then reboot | 12:21 |
| George | no | 12:21 |
| George | then reload KDE | 12:21 |
| jrattner1 | ok | 12:21 |
| aseigo | George: fine. no food for you. | 12:21 |
| George | aseigo: bitch. | 12:21 |

| George | yeah, but that doesn't start with an A. | 12:23 |
| aseigo | but am not REALLY a womanm | 12:23 |
| George | that beard fooled me then | 12:23 |
| George | :P | 12:23 |
| aseigo | yeah, the beard is just to fuck with you. | 12:23 |
| George | hah | 12:23 |
| aseigo | "wow. look at that gir- .. aaah! it has a beard!" | 12:24 |
| George | you're the same height as an average female though | 12:24 |
| George | SHORTY | 12:24 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | Hm, that's kinda confusing. Mr indicates that you're of the male gender, while "bitch" indicates otherwise | 12:24 |
| aseigo | i'd make bucks in the old days of the freak shows. | 12:24 |
| aseigo | Rogue_Jedi_X: i'm tricksy like that =P | 12:24 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | Indeed | 12:24 |

| Rogue_Jedi_X | There are two guys with blue shirts | 12:26 |
| jrattner1 | It was working perfectly until, I ended my last session I dont get it | 12:26 |
| George | I've never actually /used/ kubuntu so I don't know what TRICKERY Riddell has done to bastardise KDE :) | 12:27 |
| George | Rogue_Jedi_X: woops | 12:27 |

| George | oh god. Phantom^^'s back. | 12:27 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | Both of them look male enough to me, but I have doubts about the person holding a plushie | 12:28 |
| aseigo | jrattner1: what's your ~/.xsession-errors says? | 12:28 |
| aseigo | er, say | 12:28 |
| George | aseigo: heh, that's be a sensible course of action to take :) | 12:28 |
| aseigo | Rogue_Jedi_X: yeah, he was pretty freakin' attached to his konqi plushie | 12:28 |
| George | I'm very lazy when it comes to checking logs | 12:28 |
| aseigo | Rogue_Jedi_X: i have pics of him asleep with it | 12:28 |
| aseigo | in fact, that night i had to use my "i'm canadian" line to get into the private club | 12:29 |
| aseigo | (where the women told us to meet up with them) | 12:29 |
| jrattner1 | aseigo, its only got gnome information right now cause im using gnome at the minute | 12:29 |
| George | Rogue_Jedi_X: that's Chris Howells | 12:29 |
| aseigo | and wheels got turned away because he was wearing sandles | 12:29 |

| George | Rogue_Jedi_X: he quickly tried to hide it | 12:29 |
| aseigo | so it was just allan and me | 12:30 |
| George | aseigo: carewolf? | 12:30 |
| aseigo | yeah | 12:30 |

| === aseigo loves the german girls. | ||
| Rogue_Jedi_X | That pose is simply....disturbing | 12:30 |
| jrattner1 | George, any other ideas? | 12:30 |
| George | he was the ONLY person that would come back later at night to the hostel than me | 12:30 |
| George | jrattner1: check ~/.xsession-errors | 12:30 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | I can't figure out whether he just woke up, or if he's stalking someone | 12:30 |
| aseigo | Rogue_Jedi_X: well, he's good at that. being disturbing that is ;) | 12:30 |
| aseigo | Rogue_Jedi_X: probably both | 12:30 |

| Rogue_Jedi_X | Are those Macs on the table? iBook and PowerBook? | 12:31 |
| George | yeah | 12:31 |
| George | powerbook is mine | 12:31 |
| George | ibook is his | 12:31 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | That PowerBook looks very sleek | 12:32 |

| jrattner1 | aseigo, alright let me try to load KDE again | 12:32 |
| George | I *really* shouldn't have taken it apart. | 12:32 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | What's that silver thing under his watch? | 12:32 |
| George | Riddell: didn't we have an issue with Ben Lamb's shuttle last year at LWCE when KDE wouldn't load? required changing ownership of some files /tmp iirc... | 12:33 |
| George | Rogue_Jedi_X: probably a transformer or a battery charger | 12:33 |
| Riddell | George: not as far as I remember, but it's quite possible | 12:33 |
| George | Rogue_Jedi_X: chowells went nuts on bringing crap with him to akademy last year | 12:33 |
| George | Rogue_Jedi_X: I think he brought two laptops, an external keyboard, a million 4-way power extension cords... | 12:34 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | Wow | 12:34 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | Did he actually use all of those? | 12:34 |
| George | whereas je4d forced me to travel light.. I had to pack for 11 days in HAND LUGGAGE | 12:34 |
| George | ergh. | 12:34 |
| aseigo | no, we beat him up and took them from him | 12:34 |
| George | aseigo: ;) | 12:34 |

| arcanistherogue | it is running win XP the family computer | 12:36 |

| Rogue_Jedi_X | You probably don't need to. I know I didn't | 12:38 |
| arcanistherogue | where is remote places? | 12:38 |
| aseigo | arcanistherogue: far from you. | 12:38 |
| arcanistherogue | very funny. | 12:38 |
| aseigo | arcanistherogue: in kubuntu, there's the system icon on the panel right next to the k menu | 12:39 |
| arcanistherogue | ah | 12:39 |
| aseigo | arcanistherogue: click on it, select Remote Folders or whatever the hell it's called | 12:39 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | Hehe. Actually you can access it either by running Konqueror and selecting it or by clicking on the computer icon right from the KDE kicker and then selecting "Remote Places" | 12:39 |
| George | I ought to migrate my root partition to XFS at some point. | 12:39 |

| Rogue_Jedi_X | Hm. If I want to install KDE 3.4.2, do I have to do it from runlevel 2 or is this fine? | 12:55 |
| George | aseigo: :P | 12:55 |
| Will__ | Rogue_Jedi_X: I did it from gnome | 12:56 |
| George | aseigo: "look at this ladies. IT'S KDE 4.0 PRE ALPHA!!!" | 12:56 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | That is also an excellent idea | 12:56 |
| Riddell | aseigo: that kicker applet dialogue in 3.5, shouldn't there be a generic KDE widget for that sort of thing? | 12:56 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | brb | 12:56 |
| jrattner1 | George, any ideas? | 12:56 |
| Riddell | a klistview that takes widgets instead of just text and an image | 12:56 |
| George | jrattner1: hang on | 12:56 |
| George | jrattner1: no idea | 12:57 |
| George | jrattner1: looks like something to do with xorg is barfing | 12:57 |
| George | aseigo: any ideas? | 12:57 |
| jrattner1 | why would it just happen out of the blue | 12:58 |
| George | no idea. | 12:58 |
| jrattner1 | maybe i should just reinstall kubuntu | 12:59 |
| twidget | Can anyone explain why I'm seeing this as soon as I log on? http://charlesstricklin.com/files/snapshot2.png and http://charlesstricklin.com/files/snapshot3.png | 12:59 |
| George | jrattner1: that'd fix it... but it's probably a touch extreme | 12:59 |
| jrattner1 | im just going to do it, it seems the easiest option right now | 01:00 |
| jrattner1 | it takes two seconds anyway | 01:00 |
| George | heh | 01:00 |
| George | ok | 01:00 |
| Riddell | twidget: presumably you've set it to use the composite engine (transparent windows maybe) | 01:00 |
| George | I come from the Gentoo world where a reinstall is NOT a feasible option :) | 01:01 |
| lichte | will Kubuntu change the cli sound apps to stop using esd ? | 01:01 |
| jrattner1 | George, i would run gentoo if it would install on my laptop | 01:02 |
| George | if any distro is going to install on a laptop, Gentoo is the one | 01:02 |

| Riddell | lichte: ah hah /etc/libao.conf | 01:09 |
| lichte | Riddell: is there any way to get rid of the arts dependencies ? | 01:10 |

| hater2win | nvm, codecs, lol. ill do what you tell me next time =p | 01:11 |
| Riddell | lichte: which arts dependencies? | 01:11 |
| lichte | Riddell: all of 'em | 01:11 |
| lichte | Riddell: when I compile KDE on Gentoo, I leave out all arts dependencies | 01:12 |
| Riddell | lichte: not really, arts is build quite deeply into KDE | 01:12 |
| lichte | Riddell: not anymore | 01:12 |
| Riddell | well, you can recompile it all with --no-arts or something | 01:12 |
| George | arts is a pain in the bum | 01:12 |
| lichte | yeah, that's why I set the -arts USE flag on Gentoo :) | 01:12 |
| Riddell | lichte: what happens to sound then? | 01:13 |
| Will__ | if you like gentoo...use it? It sounds childish, but if you like the way a distro works, then stick with it | 01:13 |
| lichte | Riddell: it uses alsa | 01:13 |
| George | I haven't had working sound in KDE for about 3 years | 01:13 |
| lichte | Will__: great point, I was just wondering if there were packages with different dependencies in Kubuntu | 01:13 |
| lichte | Will__: I don't mean that Kubuntu *should* either | 01:14 |
| Will__ | oh, and stop using gentoo you damned freebsd wannabe. </end-of-rant> I'm going to have a cup of tea | 01:14 |

| George | Gentoo is good. | 01:14 |

| lichte | my computer is so slow for compiling, I thought I'd try Kubuntu | 01:15 |

| Rogue_Jedi_X | Edit /etc/inittab | 01:19 |

| lichte | I don't want to chmod in /etc/init.d either | 01:20 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | Oh, that | 01:20 |
| lichte | I mean a REAL runlevel editor | 01:20 |
| Riddell | lichte: one is being worked on as part of guidance, but there's no packages yet | 01:21 |
| lichte | I seem to remember someone told me once what the default way to do that is on a debian system | 01:21 |

| apokryphos | luminerd: still? :) | 03:18 |
| twidget | ah, yes, it is | 03:18 |
| luminerd | apokryphos: yea, I had to quit for like 3 hours due to lack of net connection | 03:18 |

| coolblue | luminerd u can easily log in as root:) | 03:22 |

| apokryphos | coolblue: you shouldn't, though. | 03:23 |

| luminerd | apokryphos: because su is SOOO much easier and better | 03:23 |
| Razor-X | luminerd: ``sudo -i'' | 03:24 |
| coolblue | i know that:) | 03:24 |
| apokryphos | luminerd: how is it easier? Logging in/out constantly is annoying | 03:24 |
| gnunewbie | I am running kubuntu KDE 3.4.2, installed in ubuntu. I installed kubuntu-desktop, yes. My problem is... when I reboot and login again my settings from previous session are not saved, resolution of desktop, ln -s link in /dev for modem and stuff like that. I asked this yesterday but no one knew how to correct it. What should I do? | 03:24 |
| Will__ | luminerd: why? | 03:24 |
| thoreauputic | luminerd: what's wrong with typing sudo -i to get a root shell ? | 03:24 |
| apokryphos | using prefix of sudo is soo much easier. | 03:24 |
| coolblue | anyones here uses Kvirc? | 03:24 |
| Razor-X | where are the gtk-qt config files kept at? | 03:25 |
| apokryphos | gnunewbie: get krandrtray to remember your resolution on startup | 03:25 |
| apokryphos | gnunewbie: unless you modify your xorg.conf to display a given resolution only | 03:26 |
| thoreauputic | Razor-X: dpkg -L gtk2-engines-gtk-qt to see the files it installed? | 03:26 |
| Razor-X | why is it stuck in kcontrol :( | 03:27 |
| gnunewbie | apokryphos: what is krandrtray I don't find it in synaptic search. No I do not modify xorgconf I right click desktop and choose. Should I simple thing remove all files in home user .kde directory I am thinking some stuff got messed up when I upgraded KDE. | 03:27 |
| Razor-X | what controls the kcontrol module list? | 03:27 |
| gnunewbie | how do I fix the other stuff not saving like my sudo ln -s /dev modem link? that should save if root does it why does it not? | 03:28 |
| apokryphos | gnunewbie: no, I only said the xorg.conf modification could be an option, nevermind. KRandRTray you have installed. Though... you right-click to change your resolution? How do you manage that? | 03:28 |
| apokryphos | gnunewbie: you make a symbolic link and it's not there when you reboot? | 03:28 |
| gnunewbie | apokryphos: you right click on desktop and change settings | 03:28 |
| apokryphos | oh, under display, so I see | 03:29 |
| gnunewbie | apokryphos: yes I make symbolic link in /dev as sudo and it's gone when I reboot | 03:29 |
| apokryphos | gnunewbie: select "apply settings on KDE startup" | 03:29 |
| gnunewbie | very strange it not saving my settings or anything | 03:29 |
| gnunewbie | so i should delete .kde directory? | 03:29 |
| apokryphos | strange indeed | 03:29 |
| apokryphos | do you shutdown tidly? | 03:29 |
| gnunewbie | apokryphos:thank you where i find that please | 03:29 |
| apokryphos | gnunewbie: I have no idea how kde would affect that, at all | 03:29 |

| fatbrain | Hello, is there a file-explorer that looks like norton commander? left and a right pane? | 03:30 |
| apokryphos | fatbrain: Konqueror :) | 03:30 |
| apokryphos | though Kommander is popular, too. | 03:30 |
| Razor-X | fatbrain: Krusader | 03:31 |
| Razor-X | or Midnight Commander, if you want a command-line version | 03:31 |
| apokryphos | damn, that's the name | 03:31 |
| Razor-X | ;) | 03:31 |
| apokryphos | You can do it perfectly in Konqueror.. which still makes me think why people use Krusader | 03:31 |
| gnunewbie | why is it not saving symlink i try with sudo and it works but rebooting it not there | 03:31 |
| apokryphos | (though, Kommander does exist - heh) | 03:31 |
| Razor-X | woo, I think gtk-qt is working ;) | 03:31 |
| Razor-X | apokryphos: you can? | 03:32 |

| Razor-X | there's a whole lot more to Midnight Commander/Total Commander/Krusader than just splitting the window vertically | 03:37 |
| apokryphos | Razor-X: ok, so what else? | 03:37 |
| Razor-X | apokryphos: hahahaha ;) | 03:37 |
| Razor-X | the key shortcuts | 03:37 |
| Razor-X | the built-in viewers | 03:37 |
| fatbrain | apokryphos: I'm using xplorer2 on my windows workstation, and I like the ability to edit on pressing F4 | 03:37 |
| Razor-X | fatbrain: you've never used Total Commander?! | 03:37 |
| fatbrain | Krusader looks very similar to explorer2 | 03:37 |
| fatbrain | no | 03:38 |
| Razor-X | o_O | 03:38 |
| apokryphos | Razor-X: Konqueror being a universal viewing application would evidently be better in that area at least... | 03:38 |
| Razor-X | apokryphos: Krusader uses the same universal points as Konqueror does | 03:38 |
| apokryphos | gravy | 03:38 |
| apokryphos | it can embed the same things? | 03:38 |
| Razor-X | a whole new program wasn't created just to split a window in half ;) | 03:38 |
| Razor-X | apokryphos: yeah :) | 03:38 |
| apokryphos | Razor-X: I never implied that | 03:39 |
| Razor-X | fatbrain: Total Commander is much more feature-rich, and much more akin to the original Total Commander/Midnight Commander | 03:39 |
| Razor-X | apokryphos: that's all the Window menu allows you to do | 03:39 |
| apokryphos | if it's for the key-shortcuts... erm, odd point, since Konqueror easily customizes shortcuts | 03:39 |
| fatbrain | Razor-X: I don't nead feature-rich... I like xplorer2 very well | 03:40 |
| fatbrain | you ever used xplorer2? | 03:40 |
| apokryphos | Razor-X: I only referenced the Window as proof that you can have split windows. Few know that, surprisingly | 03:40 |
| Razor-X | fatbrain: did I mention that Total Commander is half the footprint, and much more stable than Xplorer2? :) | 03:40 |
| apokryphos | Krusader looks really X-ish to me, rather than KDE | 03:40 |
| apokryphos | Razor-X: erm, krusader doesn't use kioslaves? | 03:41 |
| fatbrain | Razor-X: http://zabkat.com/ | 03:41 |
| fatbrain | not the old Xplorer2 app, this is a new one | 03:41 |
| Razor-X | fatbrain: what's the footprint on it? | 03:41 |
| apokryphos | Razor-X: and, for embedding, do I have to enable an option? Doesn't seem to do it by default | 03:42 |
| Razor-X | embedding? :) | 03:42 |

| apokryphos | CLI is great; not good for viewing images. | 03:50 |
| Razor-X | to me, words and phrases come more intuitively, so I prefer CLI | 03:50 |

| === aseigo [n=aseigo@kde/aseigo] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| fatbrain | no, I don't know what to set them to | 04:35 |
| apokryphos | KDEDIR is $(kde-config --prefix) which is /usr in Kubuntu. QTDIR is /usr/lib/qt3 | 04:36 |
| fatbrain | ok, I'll try that, thanks | 04:37 |
| fatbrain | do I set them by using "set KDEDIR=/bleh/" ?? | 04:38 |
| apokryphos | no, just do export KDEDIR=/usr && export QTDIR /usr/lib/qt3 | 04:38 |

| moshe | it's a perl-gtk1 frontend to transcode that's muy useful | 04:50 |
| moshe | and I can't seem to get it installed because I don't have transcode in any of the depositories in my apt sources.list | 04:50 |

| hater2win | kde-look.org | 06:11 |
| hater2win | and look under splash screens | 06:11 |
| hater2win | you're bound to find it somewhere | 06:11 |
| luminerd | hater2win: I'm there...It varies by distro though. | 06:13 |
| hater2win | luminerd: chances are if you find a .deb package you might be able to check its install path | 06:14 |
| luminerd | hater2win: uhh...I don't do .deb's. lol | 06:15 |
| hater2win | lol, well that sucks... | 06:23 |
| luminerd | hater2win: or anyone else: do you know what that thing is that happens when you mouse over the K button and can you get rid of it? It's that thing that says: "K Menu: Click here to browse and start applications" | 06:24 |
| hater2win | uhhh | 06:25 |
| seth_k | yep | 06:25 |
| seth_k | right click panel > configure | 06:25 |

| luminerd | willing to tell me? | 06:27 |
| luminerd | lol | 06:27 |
| seth_k | typing :P | 06:27 |
| seth_k | /usr/share/icons/<theme>/apps/48x48/kmenu.png | 06:27 |
| seth_k | replace 48x48 with the icon size you want to change | 06:27 |
| seth_k | and <theme> with the theme you're using | 06:27 |
| luminerd | ah, ok, thought you were just saying "sure I know" | 06:27 |
| luminerd | lol | 06:27 |
| seth_k | oops, and swap "apps" and "48x48" | 06:28 |
| seth_k | so it's 48x48/apps/ | 06:28 |
| luminerd | thanks | 06:28 |
| luminerd | :D | 06:28 |
| luminerd | seth_k: hmmm | 06:28 |
| luminerd | my theme's not there | 06:28 |
| seth_k | check ~/.icons then | 06:29 |
| luminerd | seth_k: doesn't exist | 06:29 |
| seth_k | double hmmm | 06:29 |
| seth_k | :P | 06:29 |
| seth_k | ~/.kde/share/icons ? | 06:29 |
| luminerd | seth_k: that's it :D | 06:30 |
| luminerd | so it uses the 48x48 one for the k menu? | 06:30 |
| seth_k | luminerd, it depends on what your panel size is set at | 06:30 |
| seth_k | but usually 48x48 | 06:30 |
| luminerd | I see | 06:31 |
| luminerd | ok | 06:31 |

| hater2win | or not make them into a theme | 06:38 |
| hater2win | but use them to make a theme | 06:38 |
| seth_k | look at the index.theme file of any theme | 06:38 |
| seth_k | you'll see how they're structured | 06:38 |

| PieD | yes | 12:31 |
| PieD | two days ago, there were less problematic packages | 12:31 |
| hussam | When breezy is out, can I download the cd, add the cdrom as apt source, and upgrade? | 12:32 |
| PieD | that's stupid | 12:32 |
| PieD | add the servers as apt sources | 12:32 |
| PieD | that'll be faster ! | 12:32 |
| nikkia | pied, the ctrl-alt-F? thing is a configurable option in all of the *dm login managers, it used to be the default, but somewhere along the line everyone started allowing console logins | 12:35 |
| nikkia | perhaps because, the reason i remember that, is if you were trying to get xdm working back in the early days, and messed up, it was a royal PITA to fix it :) | 12:36 |
| PieD | nikkia: that didn't work any longer in my breezy :/ but there is nothing related to the dm ! | 12:36 |
| PieD | when I launched X without dm, ctrl-alt-F? didn't work too | 12:36 |
| nikkia | i have a vague recollection of having a PAM problem with gdm stuffing me up for the same reason - couldn't c-a-f1 to a console, and couldn't c-a-backspace to kill X :) | 12:36 |
| PieD | I could do c-a-back | 12:37 |
| nikkia | pied, hmm, it might be disabled in X then, there's an option in there to disable it too | 12:37 |
| PieD | don't worry, it was only in qemu :) | 12:37 |
| nikkia | does ctrl-alt-F? work in qemu normally? | 12:38 |
| PieD | yes | 12:38 |
| PieD | using the sendkey qemu command | 12:38 |
| nikkia | ok, just wondering - never used it for running linux (only OSX :) | 12:38 |
| PieD | OS X works in qemu yet ? | 12:39 |
| nikkia | yeah, sort of | 12:39 |
| nikkia | not as well as pearpc tho | 12:39 |
| === Mez [n=Mez@cpc2-lich4-3-0-cust115.brhm.cable.ntl.com] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| nikkia | the 'virtualised' qemu is actually a special case of qemu, normally qemu *emulates* cpus, and it does a whole handful, including PPC | 12:40 |
| PieD | nikkia: I know that | 12:40 |
| PieD | but on the qemu website, OS X is mentionned as not working | 12:41 |
| nikkia | pied, it works, vaguely, its not enough to work well yet | 12:41 |
| PieD | ok | 12:41 |
| nikkia | pied, mostly graphic card stuff, iirc | 12:41 |
| PieD | their graphic card emulation isn't perfect :/ | 12:41 |
| nikkia | as i said, pearpc works better for OSX | 12:41 |
| PieD | it'd be fine from it to support 3D | 12:41 |
| nikkia | but pearpc is specialised, so i'd sort of expect that | 12:41 |
| PieD | qemu with kqemu is "specialized" too :) | 12:42 |

| nikkia | it says there is an error in the cdrom detection | 12:44 |

| linkin | ^^ | 01:10 |
| linkin | but you need java first | 01:10 |
| linkin | (sun-j2re1.5) | 01:10 |
| _buz | best to get it from java.sun.com and install it by hand | 01:10 |
| _buz | then use azureus.tar from the azureus site | 01:10 |
| _buz | also i cant find azureus in synaptic ;) | 01:11 |

| Kamping_Kaiser | Rogue_Jedi_X: what Windows? | 02:41 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | XP | 02:42 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | you can either connect to it as a shared Windows printer or share the printer using printing services for UNIX then connect as a UNIX shared printer | 02:43 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | I've been trying to do the first and it sends out the test page okay, but it doesn't print | 02:44 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | When I look at the Windows machine I see it has a 3,48 MB page queued up, but only received the first 64 kB | 02:44 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | How do I do the latter? | 02:45 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | add it in using add-remove programs and the add components option | 02:46 |
| Rogue_Jedi_X | "Other Network File and Print Services" <- That it? | 02:48 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | i think so | 02:49 |

| George` | dont remember their names | 03:18 |
| Kamping_Kaiser | George` swap is like virtual memory, and ext2 and 3 are filesystems | 03:19 |
| George` | in the installation u choose 3 partitions | 03:19 |
| seaLne | windows has swap aswell but it uses a file instead of a partition for it | 03:19 |

| hussam | yeah this kdesu using sudo instead of su is terrible. it's the only thing I dislike about Kubuntu | 03:46 |
| apokryphos | hussam: err, why exactly? | 03:47 |
| apokryphos | hussam: makes sense that it should use sudo considering ubuntu doesn't even come with su enabled by default | 03:47 |
| hussam | apokryphos: it won't let me run a program as another regular user. | 03:47 |
| nikkia | hussam: hmm, i don't see why not, sudo can do that | 03:48 |

| apokryphos | Are you sure? Don't really wanna test it now, may later | 03:55 |
| nikkia | hussam, then you need to configure /etc/sudoers :P | 03:55 |
| hussam | yep, I 've tried it on my PC | 03:55 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: no, he's right, if the login has no sudoer rights, then it won't allow it, its up to him to configure sudoers to allow each user to run programs as root/other-users | 03:55 |
| nikkia | i wouldn't say it was 'wrong' its just the sudo way | 03:55 |
| hussam | exactly non sudoers can't run programs as other regular users. | 03:56 |
| apokryphos | hussam: nikkia is saying that they *can* if you edit the file accordingly | 03:56 |
| nikkia | hussam, which is exactly the point of sudo, it offers fine grained control over who can do what | 03:56 |
| hussam | apokryphos: what if I don't want a user to be able to run root applications using his password, but I still want him to be able to run programs as other regular users? | 03:58 |
| nikkia | hussam, with 'su', anyone can do anything, conversely, if they need to do *something* they need to know the password :) | 03:58 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: any idea of what to use to calculate the size of a folder in CLI? | 03:58 |
| nikkia | hussam, you can do that, easily, with sudoers | 03:58 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: 'du -h' | 03:58 |
| apokryphos | nice, thanks. :) | 03:58 |
| nikkia | hussam: moreover, sudoers lets you control *which* apps a given user can run, and as *who* | 03:58 |
| nikkia | ie, if i want user 'joe' to be able to run cdrecord as root, kmail as 'bob', and nothing else, i can do it | 03:59 |
| flo | hussam: I could definitely set an option in some config file on my father's powerbook g3 which runs kubuntu to make kdesu to use su again. If he comes back from work I'll call him and find out.. | 03:59 |
| nikkia | i could NOT do that with su | 03:59 |
| hussam | flo: yeah ok thank you, I'd really appreciate that. | 04:00 |
| flo | nikkia: Hmm I guess it's not about which approach is better... but to which one you are used to work with. And I WANT su :D. | 04:00 |
| nikkia | hussam: the sudoers entry for that particular configuration would be 'joe ALL = (root) cdrecord, (bob) kmail' | 04:00 |
| hussam | nikkia: I'm checking out /etc/sudoers | 04:00 |
| nikkia | flo, no, sudo is inarguably better | 04:00 |
| apokryphos | hehe | 04:00 |
| nikkia | flo, there's no logical argument for su being better | 04:00 |
| flo | nikkia: Excedpt that I'm a huming being (ubuntu) and are used to to some things in certain ways... you be as spocky as you wanr about that... | 04:01 |
| nikkia | flo, so configure sudo to act like su, and stop being picky :) | 04:02 |
| flo | nikkia: I would, but I don | 04:03 |

| === deconnect [n=deconnec@145.184-201-80.adsl.skynet.be] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| nikkia | flo, set the option 'targetpw', and setup a rule for 'Defaults ALL=(ALL) ALL' | 04:03 |
| nikkia | that way, sudo should act pretty much exactly like su | 04:04 |
| hussam | nikkia: wait how do I do that? | 04:04 |
| apokryphos | hussam: there's more advantages of sticking with sudo, though, even if you think it's inconvenient at first | 04:05 |
| apokryphos | I liked it from the get-go though; much quicker than typing su -c "foo" | 04:05 |
| nikkia | hussam, read sudoers, its all in there | 04:06 |
| EasterSunshine | sudo is mad cool | 04:06 |
| nikkia | hussam, the 'targetpw' flag is the key to making sudo act like su | 04:06 |
| nikkia | (ie, the target user's password is used, rather than the source user's password) | 04:06 |
| nikkia | of course, understanding the sudoers file is likely to make you come to an understanding of why it is better :P | 04:07 |

| hussam | nikkia: :( | 04:07 |
| nikkia | the problem with 'su' is that it invariably leads you into setting programs setuid root to 'work around' not wanting to give everyone the root password | 04:10 |
| nikkia | and setuid binaries are almost as evil as everyone on your system knowing the root password | 04:10 |
| hussam | well not every user needs to be able to run applications are root. just the person who maintains or updates the machine. | 04:13 |
| nikkia | hussam, yes, thats why the default kubuntu sudo rule is '%admin ALL=(ALL) ALL' | 04:13 |
| nikkia | ie, only members of the admin group can 'do anything as root' | 04:13 |

| nikkia | its very useful, its the easiest way to do a 'screenshot' of a text program, and its the easiest way to run apps that need a long runtime, where you don't want to stay logged in on the console (or in a kde session) all that time | 04:19 |
| nikkia | since you can detach from a command line session, and then rejoin it later, or you can rejoin the same console session from multiple windows/hosts | 04:20 |
| nikkia | but since it manipulates the system pty's and the utmp/wtmp databases, it has to run as root initially | 04:21 |

| Raptoid | bla bla bla .. | 05:57 |
| Raptoid | why is that | 05:57 |
| Raptoid | have you upgradd | 05:57 |
| nokia78 | hello, anybody can help me, with :: libc6-dev: Depends: libc6 (= 2.3.2.ds1-20ubuntu13) but 2.3.2.ds1-22 is to be installed | 05:57 |

| nokia78 | yes | 06:01 |
| Heaven_7 | sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -o umask=0222 | 06:01 |

| Heaven_7 | and it works | 06:01 |
| _frank | nokia78: there's your problem | 06:02 |
| nokia78 | _frank : but how can i resolve it | 06:03 |
| Heaven_7 | lmfao, i figured out why sound wasnt working | 06:03 |
| Heaven_7 | i had my speakers connected to "rear channel" because i use KxProject in XP | 06:03 |
| _frank | nokia78: ideally you should try to revert libc6 to the ubuntu package, uninstall the debian packages and compile from source what is not in the repositories | 06:04 |
| nokia78 | _frank: oky | 06:05 |
| _frank | basically do not use libraries from debian. single packages from debian can work sometimes but if you upgrade libraries from the ubuntu version to the deibian version, you get problems | 06:05 |
| _frank | nokia78: and take out the debian repos from your sources list | 06:06 |
| nokia78 | _frank: ok | 06:06 |

| apokryphos | aramazan: just checked it; hey, thanks for the mention :). Didn't actually notice that you were using the CSS there now, but it does work. | 08:06 |
| apokryphos | aramazan: what is odd, and may need attention, is that it *looks* like it still selects the bullets | 08:06 |

| apokryphos | aramazan: found a good link that addresses it: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/taminglists/ :) | 08:08 |
| apokryphos | haven't checked in ff; will see now | 08:08 |
| c0rrupt_ | does anyone use wu-ftp? | 08:08 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: it's so easy to find out with dpkg ;-) | 08:08 |

| apokryphos | aramazan: ah, so I see. In Firefox it doesn't select the bullets | 08:09 |
| aramazan | apokryphos: But, if you select a whole line it shows as if last chars aren't selected (but pastes OK) | 08:10 |
| c0rrupt_ | what ftp servers does anyone run | 08:11 |

| c0rrupt_ | ;\ | 08:12 |
| aramazan | c0rrupt_: I don't use ftp servers for security reasons (I substitute ssh) But proftpd might be better than wu-ftp | 08:14 |
| aramazan | c0rrupt_: If you do a "apt-cache -n search ftp" it may give you hints about more security concerned ftp daemons (there should be a "very secure ftp" or something) | 08:15 |
| apokryphos | c0rrupt_: Konqueror is good | 08:15 |
| apokryphos | ...erm, ftp client. | 08:16 |
| c0rrupt_ | ok ty | 08:16 |
| apokryphos | aramazan: I don't know why it's doing that. I'd speculate it might be down to the spacing, but I couldn't be sure. | 08:16 |
| c0rrupt_ | i will look into proftp | 08:16 |
| c0rrupt_ | what is the -n option for | 08:17 |
| aramazan | apokryphos: That's also what I suspect. I use custom spacing in CSS | 08:17 |
| aramazan | c0rrupt_: sustitute for "--names-only" | 08:17 |

| apokryphos | aramazan: not suggesting you should have the single spacing... just try to see if the problem is down to that | 08:19 |
| apokryphos | Double space would mean copy-and-pasting it in Konsole wouldn't work, I'd think | 08:20 |

| bjv | that would explain my issues with 3.3.5 | 08:44 |

| LinKage | sorry its the script | 10:25 |
| LinKage | how do i install ? | 10:26 |
| hon | I can have several IPs, so that's not my problem. I jus disconnected the cable, put the hub in the middle and restarted eth0, and well! nothing workd! | 10:26 |

| PieD | is build-essential on the CD ? | 10:48 |

| PieD | LinKage: yes | 10:49 |

| PieD | pending integration in the mm branch ? | 10:50 |
| PieD | in the 2.6.13-rc* kernels ? | 10:50 |
| nikkia | pied, its shipped as modified versions of the kernel included source | 10:50 |
| nikkia | PieD: ergo, it MUST be GPL legally | 10:50 |
| PieD | but ask them to include it | 10:50 |
| PieD | nikkia: yes, I know (I'm having problems to keep my eyes opened) | 10:50 |

| nikkia | pied, the only reason i can think of, is that it seems to be missing support for some sk98lin compatible cards that aren't by marvell | 10:51 |

| nikkia | apokryphos: iirc, we used DEC's rdbm which we got a price cut on, because of our licenses for VMS | 11:25 |
| PieD | LinKage: sorry, I don't know why it does that :/ | 11:27 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: so what was ICI? | 11:27 |
| LinKage | :( | 11:27 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: at one point, the largest chemical company in the world | 11:27 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: since i was there, they've mostly been sold to DuPont | 11:28 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: i think Dulux (ICI's paint division) and their fertiliser divisons are still around, and i imagine the 'plant that does not exist' is still part of ICI | 11:28 |
| apokryphos | "Every day, you see, touch, taste, smell or use products that have been made better thanks to ICI". :P | 11:29 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: so what did you work on there? | 11:29 |
| nikkia | (the plant that does not exist was a section of an ICI chemical plant that officially wasn't there, it had lots of 'biohazard' signs, and armed army guys guarding it, i'll leave it to you to work out what happened there :) | 11:29 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: software | 11:29 |
| apokryphos | heh | 11:30 |
| apokryphos | so that's where they keep all the aliens | 11:30 |

| nikkia | apokryphos: the division i worked for (it was my work placement) produced monitoring and control software for various processes in industry, stuff like power stations, chemical plants, pharmacutical plants, etc | 11:30 |
| LinKage | PieD | 11:31 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: no, its where they made the WMD that the UK hasn't officially had since the 1950s - bioweapons and chemical weapons | 11:31 |
| LinKage | if choose 2 instead of 1 in the installation it gives a different error | 11:31 |

| slow-motion | hello | 11:32 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: it took a lot of guts to go on any part of the actual 'plant', tbh | 11:32 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: you went? | 11:33 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: they had these nuclear hardened shelter things that they'd park chemical trucks under, while they were filling them... | 11:33 |
| slow-motion | where has kde the splah-screens file? | 11:33 |
| nikkia | there were abour 20 such shelters around the plant that were 'scattered over about an acre around where it used to be' | 11:33 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: why exactly would the UK produce biological weapons, though? | 11:34 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: 'just in case' | 11:34 |

| apokryphos | nikkia: I can't seem them ever using them, really. In cases of "extreme measures" I'd always see them as going for more painless deaths | 11:34 |
| apokryphos | maybe the mindframe earlier was different | 11:35 |
| PieD | LinKage: what error exactly ? | 11:35 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: bio and chem are actually the most effective mass destruction there is, and if you are attacked, its 'useful' to have some way to retaliate in force | 11:35 |
| PieD | try : | 11:35 |
| PieD | rmmod sk98lin | 11:35 |
| PieD | sorry : sudo rmmod sk98lin | 11:35 |
| LinKage | in the same terminal ? | 11:36 |
| PieD | and then relaunch install.sh | 11:36 |
| PieD | yes | 11:36 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: how come? Though I'm sure that "chemical weapons" etc. is too broad. Probably different ones depending on what you're targetting | 11:36 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: ie, if russia ever used bio on us, which they'd said they gave up bio (but everyone suspected they hadn't, and they actually hadn't), then it would be expected to retaliate with the same method | 11:36 |
| apokryphos | humans/landmarks/both etc | 11:36 |
| LinKage | PieD it says that the module is in use? | 11:36 |
| LinKage | should i reboot? | 11:36 |
| LinKage | or how to kill it ? | 11:36 |
| _pa | bye all | 11:36 |
| PieD | surprising | 11:37 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: I really don't think they ever would, even now. I'd expect some large bomb to be dropped on their behind. Who knows. | 11:37 |
| LinKage | indeed | 11:37 |

| PieD | nikkia: I don't know how to deal with that issue, can you please help ? | 11:37 |
| nikkia | pied, not really | 11:37 |
| PieD | LinKage: then reboot | 11:37 |
| LinKage | ok | 11:38 |
| PieD | there must be way not to reboot | 11:38 |
| PieD | but I don't know them | 11:38 |
| LinKage | its ij | 11:38 |
| LinKage | its ok | 11:38 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: still though.. what does a normal biological weapon consist of? The ones they talked about around sep/11 seemed to vary | 11:38 |
| LinKage | just give me 60 seconds | 11:38 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: most feared were the ones that would just cause diseases that would slowly take your life away | 11:38 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: some sort of containment and vapor vessel containing 'germs' | 11:39 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: how you contain and vapor the particular germ varies, some would need cryo, some don't | 11:39 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: that could spread rapidly, I imagine? Contagious? | 11:39 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: depends on the germs | 11:39 |
| apokryphos | sure | 11:39 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: there was a time in the 80s when everyone was trying to weaponise ebola | 11:40 |
| LinKage | PieD k booted | 11:40 |
| PieD | relaunch the installation | 11:40 |
| PieD | in expert mode too | 11:40 |
| === apokryphos checks [[ebola] ] | ||
| LinKage | PieD should i do that first? sudo rmmod sk98lin? | 11:40 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: one of the most deadly and nasty viruses known to man | 11:41 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: sounds mean | 11:41 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: it basically makes your cells break down, you bleed to death, mostly | 11:41 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: its only saving grace, is that its too deadly to be a real threat to mankind | 11:41 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: and to think that people would want to weaponise this... | 11:42 |
| PieD | LinKage: that's useless | 11:42 |
| PieD | you can directly start the installer | 11:42 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: it actually would make the perfect bio weapon for a superpower type situation (its not so good for terrorists, but it'd still be effective), because it has a high (70-99% depending on strain) leathality, and it doesn't spread far | 11:42 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: the reason it doesn't spread far, is BECAUSE it is so deadly | 11:43 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: how long would it take for death after being infected? | 11:43 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: depends on strain, but usually 2 days to a week | 11:43 |
| nikkia | apokryphos: most of that you are INCREDIBLY sick tho | 11:44 |
| LinKage | how to start the installer again ? | 11:44 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: Yes, not the perfect spreading virus then. Still. | 11:44 |
| apokryphos | nikkia: description of what exactly happens to you, or has in some cases is really quite disturbing :S | 11:45 |
