[09:41] error 17. [09:41] the only info i've found on it has to do with dual boot machines, and is above my head [09:41] grub says "error 17" ? surprising, they often give true error messages [09:42] yeah. any ideas about how to resolve that, or where to find info? [09:43] no because I don't have any windows [09:43] i don't have a problem with formatting the machine and starting from scratch, i just don't know how to go about it now that kubuntu is here [09:43] why did you remove windows when you installed kubuntu if you need windows ? [09:45] well, my computer basically died. when i revived it, i figured on a lark i would try kubuntu, since i've been meaning to see what it's all about [09:45] but i've found that the learning curve is a little steeper than i'd anticipated, and i don't really have the time or patience to learn it now [09:45] .. [09:46] and i don't seem to be able to restore my system from the system restore disc because of the partitioning... [09:46] the forementioned grub error [09:46] ?

[09:47] well, when i try and do a system restore, it boots from the windows restore CD, and goes through the whole process of copying files back to the factory-installed state [09:48] and then restarts. when it restarts from the hard drive, i get the grub error [09:48] perhaps because the rescue discs damage the partitions ?

[10:43] the ripped file [10:43] im trying to rip a cd and it errored [10:43] ill do it again and tell you what it said [10:44] setite, startup kaudiocreator, put in the cd, if the cd is orginal or burned properly, than a cddb looup should give you back to song names, the select the songs and start [10:45] yea its ripping right now [10:45] and it is an original [10:45] ok the error is [10:45] setite, did you still get an error message ? [10:45] Cannot place file, unable to make directories [10:46] setite, could it be that you are trying to place the ripped songs in a place where you don't have eniugh rights? [10:46] try setting it in home [10:46] dunno [10:46] i think it is set in home... lemme check [10:48] gah [10:48] konqueror is easier : insert the audio cd, open konqueror, go to audiocd:/ [10:48] konqueror does too much!

[10:52] that's virtual files [10:52] is it konqueror stuff... [10:52] ok good [10:52] i was freaking [10:52] that's why I'm worrying when they say they want to simplify it for KDE4 [10:53] ok that one click thing needs to be removed again... thats next on my list after i figure this out === pointwood [n=pointwoo@212.242.222.232] has joined #kubuntu [10:53] i just opened and copied everythign in the cd when i was just tryign to right click [10:54] I love the single click !

[11:04] well something got screwy [11:04] but yea thats over now [11:06] ok what exactly do i do with these virtual folders [11:06] i tried to copy and paste the mp3s... [11:07] wait now thats working [11:07] is it really that easy? [11:08] omfg... are you serious [11:08] ok i take back what i said abotu konqueror doing too much... [11:08] konqueror is quite the fitting name [11:09] pied, there are serious limitations on doing multiple selections, and drag and drop, with single click enabled [11:10] nikkia: never had a problem because of that [11:10] pied, then you're 'special' i guess [11:10] i can see why he went off about it... it is a blessing and a curse in my opinion [11:10] to select multiple files I never clicked on the icons [11:10] and for drag'n'drop, where is the problem ? [11:11] pied, the best example of why single click is broken, is to try and use k3b :) [11:12] konqueror rocks! [11:12] thats all i know [11:12] in the end it just ripped an mp3 by copying and pasting a virtual file... encoding in the process [11:12] i mean what a concept [11:12] nikkia: I've no problem here [11:12] has KDE been out longer than gnome [11:12] setite, yeah, the audiocd:// ioslave is nice [11:13] setite: off the top of my head, no, gnome would have been first, just [11:13] yea.. dont know what that is but i agree with you :) [11:13] is there an advantage to gnome? because im dying to find one [11:13] setite, if you open audiocd:/ in konqueror, it gives you the contents of a CD as a list of rippable/encodable files, mp3, ogg, flac, etc === grimse [n=grimse@p5481E7DB.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu [11:13] from what i hear its more stable.. but thats all i see [11:13] setite, you just drag the file to your HD and its ripped & encoded, or you open a file in a media player, and it rips, encodes, and plays === golanx [n=golan@85.116.131.5] has joined #kubuntu [11:14] nikkia yea thats what im doing... i just didnt know what the ioslave part meant exactly [11:14] setite, ioslaves are a KDE system that allows plugins to be written to deal with IO in some way [11:14] o?so on the latter part... opening in a media player... it rips and encodes that way top [11:15] i assumed that it just tricked the program into thinking it was an mp3 [11:15] well not tricked [11:15] setite, for example, the ability to access remote filesystems via sftp makes konqueror behave as kbear, since you can open a 2-pane konqueror window, and connect to a ftp or sftp host, and just drag files between the panes [11:15] well if i just opened them directly where would they go [11:15] setite, they're ripped, encoded, and played from /tmp [11:15] damn i need a konqueror manual... [11:16] so does konqueror have a goal? [11:16] or is it just supposed to do everything [11:16] the ripping thing is awesome... but it seems odd [11:16] setite, most of what konqueror does, isn't done by konqueror [11:17] setite, its just a side effect of how ioslaves and kparts work [11:17] well yea i figured that it was an interface for all these things... [11:17] setite, its not, not really [11:17] its just these are standard KDE features that konqueror *can* use [11:17] bleh.. your nitpicking [11:17] setite, let me put it another way [11:18] setite, say i'm listening to an audiocd, and someone on irc says 'i'd like to hear that', i can open the DCC dialog, and because its a kde app, the irc client can access the .mp3 virtual files via the ioslave, and dcc send a mp3 file by ripping/encoding automatically [11:19] setite, or i could say 'hold on, i'll send you ' but then i remember is on my machine at work, i can just use sftp within the dcc dialog to access that file [11:20] i wonder if the konq browser can do something i cant get done on firefox [11:20] setite, that'd be ? === trog|odyt [n=user@204-101-205-72.anikast.net] has joined #kubuntu === Bubbling_Zombie [n=zombie@dD577A0CC.access.telenet.be] has joined #kubuntu [11:24] i cant listen to xmradio online [11:24] wmp9 plugin wont work [11:24] i have the w32codecs package [11:24] and i downloaded some other random stuff trying to work it too [11:26] setite, best chance would be the mplayer plugin for firefox [11:26] but there's a fair chance it won't work [11:26] setite, does it work within firefox on windows ?

[11:38] setite: well, not from an expertise viewpoint at least [11:38] precisely my point [11:38] well it looks like konqueror falls short of firefox.. which also falls short of what i need it to do [11:39] nikkia: do you have an answer for my question? Feel free to ignore it if you prefer :) [11:39] thoreauputic: which question ? [11:39] c nikkia: just out of curiosity - why do we never see you in #ubuntu? You would be a valuable contributor, [11:40] etc [11:40] ah, i started to write a response, then didn't hit enter :P [11:40] ah [11:40] thoreauputic: i used to hang out there, but i couldn't keep up with both channels at the same time [11:40] nikkia: fair enough === osfameron [n=osfa@router-office.fotango.com] has joined #kubuntu === nikkia is trying to work out how to get ruby's regex to eat whitespace [11:41] so is there hope to get my windows media player plugin working in FF?

[11:43] yes [11:43] didnt know that.. thanks [11:44] nicola? what is that [11:45] hmmm i have mplayer plugin it seems === hettar [n=hettar@ppp118-86.lns1.bne3.internode.on.net] has joined #kubuntu [11:51] hey nikkia [11:51] yes?

[11:52] i get that... some apps have sound some dont [11:52] setite, you probably need to configure dmix, OR tell mplayer to play via arts [11:53] kmix? [11:53] no, dmix [11:53] its an alsa feature that lets multiple programs play sound at the same time [11:53] but try configuring mplayer first [11:53] ok... [11:54] create ~/.mplayer/config (you might need to make the .mplayer directory in your home directory first) and put in it the line 'ao=arts' i think it is [11:54] actually, just do mplayer -ao help and see what output methods it lists, first [11:55] in terminal>? [11:55] yes [11:55] not working [11:55] bash bla command not found [11:57] hmmm, anyone else with mplayer installed can list the output methods ?

[03:16] no sound if green is disabled [03:16] i'd like the same behaviour, but it ignores my kmix mic settings [03:16] hmm [03:16] kmix->input->mic [03:17] does your mic have its own volume ? Speakers vol turned up ? [03:17] i can disable any button, change volume no change [03:17] yeah I have sound no problems [03:18] when i change the capture volume it has an influence [03:18] if i select mic2 in switches it is entirly disabled [03:18] perhaps something else is turned on that might be disabling it ? [03:18] i can get it to work [03:18] but not controll its playback [03:19] what do you mean by playback ? [03:19] wether it works with feedback or it doesn't do anything [03:19] playback= hearing the input of my own mic [03:19] you recording and not getting sound ? [03:20] CellarDoor: i can't do rec only. recording sound without hearing my self on the speaker [03:20] well I can tell you what all my settings are on if you like ? [03:20] u said u have two controll bars for ur mic [03:20] right?

It doesn't accept it, asks for su password. [03:28] you have to remember, that when kmix was written, it was written against OSS, and it did things a little differently [03:28] CellarDoor: no idea, haven't really used kpackage [03:28] ah ok then [03:29] bye all === CellarDoor [n=CellarDo@d58-104-21-142.dsl.vic.optusnet.com.au] has left #kubuntu [""Righteousness] [03:30] nikkia: doesn't help, i see it disabled in alsamixer(gui) (tried both) [03:30] but still hear it [03:30] if i disable mic boost, i don't here it anymore, but i guess it is just too silent [03:31] hmmm, looks like 4.85 is about as cheap as i can get DL DVD-R discs :/ === blackfire [n=blackfir@host116-112.pool8257.interbusiness.it] has joined #kubuntu === blueyed [n=daniel@iD4CC1141.versanet.de] has joined #kubuntu [03:41] im trying to copy large amounts of files from cd, but its so...slow [03:41] is there a way to make it faster?

Samsung SyncMaster 17", we got it really quite long ago, though, and for cheap ;-) [04:38] apokryphos: did you say anything after i left? :) [04:38] apokryphos: if i could have found a 19 with 1600x1200 and decent refresh, at a reasonable price, i might have gone with 19 [04:38] apokryphos: i won't touch CRT again for monitors [04:38] nikkia: can you, though? [04:38] apokryphos: probably not for TV either [04:39] apokryphos: no, i couldn't find one [04:39] dennis-: you need to get the 3.4.2 repository [04:39] !kde342 [04:39] [kde342] at http://kubuntu.org/hoary-kde-342.php [04:39] apokryphos: ah, thx! [04:39] apokryphos: there are a few high end 19" LCDs with 1600x1280, but they're slow and expensive [04:39] nikkia: that's the reason it's not worth going for... most 20" do it though, no? [04:39] But prices shoot up after 19 :( [04:39] apokryphos: yeah, but again, slow refresh rates [04:39] apokryphos: you're into 25mS+ with 20", ok for 'work' but lousy for gaming [04:39] Slow? 75Hz around [04:40] apokryphos: thats the interface rate, you need to look at the refresh rate [04:40] :-O [04:40] what are the disadvantages of a low refresh rate? (I really always thought the Hz was refresh rate... are you sure it isn't? My krandrtray says it is :|) [04:41] apokryphos: LCD elements take a finite time to switch, so the slower the LCD refresh, the more chance of blurry/traily games [04:41] apokryphos: you're on CRT, its much more complicated on LCD :) [04:42] unless that syncmaster is one of the LCD's that samsung called 'syncmaster' (damn them and their product name overloading) [04:42] It's flat TFT, but not LCD I don't think, no. === thor|busy is now known as thoreauputic [04:43] apokryphos: basically, if your pixels take 25mS to switch, which is what you're talking about on 20"+ LCDs, then your effective refresh rate is 40 frames per second, display movement any faster than that, and its going to ghost/blur/trail [04:43] apokryphos: the monitor electronics may be rated for 75Hz VGA, but it still takes 1/40th of a second for the pixels to change colour [04:43] Noticeably? :S [04:44] I've played games before on a 23" (not LCD/TFT) and it was really sweet there at least [04:44] apokryphos: if you were playing a game on a 25mS refresh LCD, yes, very noticable [04:45] nikkia: do those Spanish people have a site? :P [04:45] modern LCD/TFTs switch at about 4-12mS, depending on brand, so thats 1/250th to 1/80th of a second for the pixels to switch [04:45] apokryphos: no, they're not a computer retailer, they're a strategic partner of ours === kasim [n=anwender@p50814FD0.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu [04:46] heh [04:46] apokryphos: they make video entertainment cabinets using shuttle-X/23" panels [04:46] =) [04:46] Nice stuff [04:46] we resell the same cabs in the UK, and thus buy hardware related to those from them [04:47] For the ugliest possible picture of my current monitor: http://product.samsung.com/cgi-bin/nabc/product/product_zoom.jsp?eUser=&largeImage=/images/prod/product03/b2c_l_171s-silver.jpg&prod_id=GH17LSASJ [04:47] yeah that really shows it off [04:48] I don't know how they got it to look so ugly; must have taken some effort [04:48] im copying 20000 files from a cd, but its taking more than 2 hours allready [04:48] how can i speed up the reader? [04:48] slightly better: http://www.clubic.com/photo/00028895.jpg [04:48] apokryphos: ah, sorry, mine is 8ms, not 4 [04:49] http://www.acer.co.uk/acereuro/page4.do?dau22.oid=9540&UserCtxParam=0&GroupCtxParam=0&dctx1=17&ctx1=UK&crc=1842436415 [04:49] ooOOoo [04:49] apokryphos: still, it was only 140, and it has DVI, and a 'not quite so sucky refresh' which is what i wanted :) [04:49] nikkia: do you think I'll see a disadvantage anywhere else but in games? [04:50] the portrait/landscape pivot was just gravy (its just a case of VESA mounting one on a pivot anyway, even if a LCD doesn't support it directly) [04:50] I don't play them, so hasn't yet hit me :P [04:50] apokryphos: what is the rate on yours ? [04:50] apokryphos: i tried searching for that model number, but couldn't find one [04:50] nikkia: no, on a new one, if I get a 20" or so [04:50] apokryphos: oh, i dunno, people are annoyed/not-annoyed individually [04:50] Monitor details: http://product.samsung.com/cgi-bin/nabc/product/b2c_product_detail.jsp?prod_id=GH17LSASJ [04:51] when i had an old LCD with 25mS refresh, i found it unbearable on FPS, but bearable on other stuff [04:51] I'm sure I'll ask to properly see the monitor in action, anyhow, before getting it [04:51] We got that Monitor though when it was still 700 in PCWorld ;-) === JeffAMcGee [n=jeff@host-66-205-125-240.classicnet.net] has joined #kubuntu [04:51] 260 I think we got it for, as I recall.

[04:55] What's most shocking was that King's (in their main halls) didn't have ethernet ports in the rooms :| [04:56] apokryphos: in that case, my advice would be to spend a little less on the monitor and spend some on a decent VESA arm [04:56] They tried to reassure me by saying "There's loads of computer rooms around....", erm.. yeah. [04:56] nikkia: Uni, yup. VESA arm? [04:56] that way, when you need to use your desk for non-computer work, you can just move the monitor out of the way === Wizzard [n=wizzard@chello085216170248.chello.sk] has joined #kubuntu [04:57] apokryphos: (almost) all monitors have a VESA 100mm/75mm mounting port on the back [04:57] ohh, those [04:57] apokryphos: you can usually remove the base completely, and put it on any VESA 100/75 compatible mounting system, a decent arm will hold the monitor over the desk but allow you to swing it out of the way when you're not using it [04:57] They're nice, but not sure how much more it would cost. TFTs don't take up much room at all anyway, so wouldn't consider it a huge issue atm [04:58] apokryphos: a cheap arm is about 25 [04:58] a decent arm is about 100 [04:58] oh wait, I see, they're generic. I thought only particular monitors would have them [04:58] no, thats the point [04:58] nice :). Yeah, I'll look out for one of those. [04:59] you buy whichever VESA mount you want (wall, desk, just a better base stand, whatever) === wincide [n=parasite@114.Red-81-35-149.pooles.rima-tde.net] has joined #kubuntu [04:59] nikkia: Thanks for the tip :) [05:00] http://www.wedgwood-group.com/lcd_monitor_desk_stands.htm [05:00] pretty affordable on ebay by the looks of things [05:00] up to 235!

[05:02] i can't see the uni being too happy about you drilling holes in the halls wall, no [05:02] No problem, I'll use my charm 8) [05:02] Bond, James Bond. [05:03] in fact, when i was at uni, such 'structural damage' was generally terms for expulsion (from the halls, not uni) [05:03] Well, I shouldn't be counting my chickens -- possibily that I won't get the grades. :| [05:03] eek [05:03] the one desk mounting arm on that ebay page, i THINK is the one i've seen for 25 if you shop around [05:03] ebay isn't always cheap :/ [05:04] the place i bought my bass amp modeller from annoyed me with that [05:04] they have an ebay shop, i was JUST about to order from it, when i thought 'lets check their real mail order shop' [05:04] 10 cheaper! [05:04] hah! [05:05] Deskmount doesn't look too bad, the one there. Hardly the best make, but looks like it would do the job === mikerobi [n=mike@adsl-69-209-177-188.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net] has joined #kubuntu [05:05] my only concern with that, is you can't tell how it mounts to the desk [05:05] what you want, is a simple G clamp desk mount [05:06] Might need ot check out some reviews on it [05:06] that one MAY still require drilling thru the desk [05:06] avoid suction cup ones, obviously :) [05:06] heh [05:06] heh [05:06] last thing you want is to be awoken at night by 'swuuuuuuuuu CRASH' [05:06] especially if your bed is next to the desk [05:07] seaLne: it will be, in uni halls [05:07] nikkia: they're not going to take nicely to drilling on the table, neither, really, are they? What other options are there other than a weighted one, I guess [05:07] seaLne: you usually get, at best, a 10x15' room [05:07] apok, G clamp [05:07] apokryphos: thats what you want.... [05:07] nikkia: hoping not to stay in halls, but in "appartments". Advantages: ethernet sockets (can't really go to Uni without one), and en suite [05:08] the clamp goes over and around the edge of the desk, and tightens with a screw underneath [05:08] nikkia: their idea of "appartments", though (funnily enough), is quite a good definition of halls. Around 500 people in one building [05:08] apokryphos: so, a 10x12' room, with a 10x3' bathroom :P [05:08] Ohh, I remember that type of thing from Technology lessons. Indeed, that would work. [05:09] nikkia: sure :P. En Suite is worth getting definitely, say my sisters and parents, though how bad could it be to share a shower ;-) [05:09] I guess it's easier for boys, but I'd obv. prefer my own. Still. [05:09] apokryphos: i rented a house for (2.5+0.5)/4 of my years at uni [05:09] Second change is intercollegiate halls, which is Catered :O === aseigo [n=aseigo@kde/aseigo] has joined #kubuntu [05:09] i think i'd prefer the extra room, normally there are cleaners cleaning the showers everyday so as long as your early you'll be fine [05:10] seaLne: *nod* the bathrooms on our floor at uni in halls were HUGE too [05:10] seaLne: the showers I saw in Uni were really mashed... and this was on their Open day :O [05:10] about 2x the size of a hall room each, and we had 2 bathrooms per floor [05:10] hah [05:10] nikkia: Mind you, I didn't even visit King's, or the halls/appartments :|. Didn't consider the place an actual option [05:10] of course, being in a private house was better... [05:10] Funny how things turn out [05:11] i stayed in halls for 2 years with shared toilets/showers and it was fine, weekend before last i was at the ukuug conference and the rooms were similar to what i used to have but with an ensuite inside... [05:11] nikkia: was it with many others? [05:11] except when we got the psycho housemate :/ [05:11] seaLne: yeah, I'd much rather have the extra money than En Suite, but I can't not have an ethernet socket ;-) [05:12] just live in the labs it didn't do me any harm :) [05:12] I always think sharing a room at Uni is such a gamble, eventually put down that "I'd prefer not to". So much cheaper to, though. [05:12] apokryphos: first year in rented (2nd year at uni) it was with 2 other girls, then 12 months with a male friend, then 3 months with male friend + male psycho, then moved to private rented flat [05:12] i even got a job working in the labs :) [05:12] plus i moved back for 3 months after that, but then the landlord wanted to sell the house, so moved to halls after 3 months [05:12] hi, do someone use opelzaslo ?? i have some problems that can't resolve :S [05:13] nikkia: psycho? Sounds like a lot of fun :P [05:13] seaLne: nice :) [05:13] apokryphos: no, not really, he really was a psycho, i mean, medically [05:13] :S [05:13] nikkia: what were you doing living with him? :| [05:13] apokryphos: i ended up in a fight with him, and smashed his head in with a 6" steel padlock [05:13] he still has the scar, i'm told === douglas [n=douglas@st.vincent.static.pa.net] has joined #kubuntu === apokryphos writes note to self: don't piss nikkia off :| [05:14] wincide: err what is opelzaslo google dosen't know either === nmorse [n=nmorse@129.244.128.97] has joined #kubuntu [05:15] nikkia: so you weren't friends before that ended up living together? [05:15] apokryphos: his mum would come and sit and watch TV in the house, because she couldn't afford a TV... after a month or two, she came to the conclusion it was her TV, and wouldn't let anyone else watch it [05:15] apokryphos: his sister would visit him on wednesdays, when they let her out of the asylum [05:15] seaLne: google doesn't know why my i can't see my projects run.. :\ tomcat and java sdk are correctly installed [05:15] eeeeek [05:15] What's the best way to actually configure your wireless card after setting up ndiswrapper? [05:15] apokryphos: we needed a 3rd person to make up the rent, and he was a friend of a friend [05:16] nikkia: isn't a steel padlock a little...er.. extreme still? :S [05:16] apokryphos: given that he was punching me in the face at the time, no [05:17] apokryphos: never punch someone in the face while they're trying to unlock the padlock to get into their room [05:17] geez, you had it bad :( [05:17] chances are, once they succeed, they have a lump of about 1lb of steel in their hand :P [05:17] sounds like he got what he deserved, then; hitting a lady in the face :Z [05:17] apokryphos: do you know what this fight was over? [05:17] Who should've done the dishes [05:18] apokryphos: it is so insanely trivial, that you'll find it amazing... [05:18] apokryphos: no, sillier than that.... we didn't have phone service for the house, noone wanted to pay BT... === bert_db [n=bert_db@dD5779F03.access.telenet.be] has joined #kubuntu [05:18] nikkia: but that's what happens when there's persistent hostility with people who are really close to eachother [05:19] I can understand it, to an extent. I used to be on *really* bad terms with my brother, and for a couple of months we'd fight *everyday*, without fail. Anything at all would make us kick off === regeya [n=shane@adsl-sp3-cdale176.micgi.com] has joined #kubuntu [05:19] but, BT being BT, they had only disconnected OUTGOING calls, and you were still supposed to rent a phone from BT at the time, so i brought the one i had at my parents home for my bedroom with me, i said i needed to take it home with me over christmas, and he somehow viewed that as me saying he used the phone too much === bert_db [n=bert_db@dD5779F03.access.telenet.be] has joined #kubuntu [05:19] apokryphos: so, he figured he would physically assault me because i was questioning his phone usage [05:19] If people can't reason, any meaningful communication breaks down [05:20] anyone here use the bittorrent trackers for (k)ubuntu install media? i've had problems since friday [05:20] nikkia: sounds like a grade A idiot. Will remember to properly know someone before moving in with them [05:21] apokryphos: as i said, he was a psycho [05:21] apokryphos: and he rarely took his meds [05:21] does anyone know how i can load my wlan at boottime? [05:21] Are there any KDE programs for configuring wireless cards? [05:21] apokryphos: for 'fun' he'd go out, get drunk, and start fights with the biggest looking person in the pub === setite [n=setite@ip68-108-161-209.lv.lv.cox.net] has joined #kubuntu [05:21] nikkia: how did he manage to be a friend of a friend? :S [05:21] nmorse: kwifimanager [05:21] apokryphos: *shrug* [05:22] nikkia: doesn't sound like his true colours were confined to the house [05:22] apokryphos: the common friend was a sane individual [05:22] although ceased to be a friend after the incident [05:22] Thanks, seaLne [05:23] apokryphos: you'll discover that uni is full of strange people like that :/ [05:23] nikkia: how long were you with him? [05:23] at least he wasn't a boyfriend :| [05:23] apokryphos: sharing the house? 3 months [05:23] nikkia: good times apart from that? [05:23] can someone tell me how to load my wlan at boottime plz? [05:23] apokryphos: i moved out the next day, and when i returned after christmas break, i rented a flat for 50/mo [05:23] hooray, physical assault [05:24] apokryphos: rent increase of 400%, but it was worth it [05:24] nikkia: your other friend carried on living with him? [05:24] apokryphos: no, it was obvious from day 1 that he was a bit 'f'ed in the head' [05:24] apokryphos: over time, it became more and more apparent that he was going to be a problem at some point [05:25] apokryphos: the padlock on my door was only there because 2 weeks earlier he'd broken into my room and destroyed some of my clothes while drunk [05:25] Dadgummit, now I need to figure out how to enable the radio on the wireless card [05:25] apokryphos: the friend bore with him, but hated every minute of it, when the year ended, he asked if i wanted to move back, and told the landlord to NOT renew the other guy's contract [05:26] nikkia: psycho indeed [05:26] nikkia: seen him often since? [05:26] apokryphos: no [05:26] apokryphos: last time i saw him, was while running the other way... [05:27] oh [05:27] apokryphos: it was a few months after he'd left the house, and i'd moved back in, and we had the bailiffs turn up - turns out this guy had defrauded lloyds by 60,000 ... [05:27] nikkia: was University good apart from those three months (that's what I meant before, but nevermind :P) [05:27] so we told them his parent's address where they could find him [05:27] 60,000! Yeouch. [05:27] he didn't look very happy when i saw him next, so i ran away rather rapidly :) [05:27] good going :) === mikl [n=mikkel@pdpc/supporter/active/mikl] has joined #Kubuntu [05:28] apokryphos: he had taken a loan for 60,000 to buy a motorbike (a harley), and had run off from where he had been renting, without telling lloyds [05:28] apokryphos: this had been 5 years or so before he went to uni, but obviously they'd caught up with him :) [05:29] nikkia: did he have to do time/ === Rogue_Jedi_Zero [n=roguejed@BSN-77-186-162.dsl.siol.net] has joined #kubuntu [05:29] and i dunno, uni was a mixture of good times and bad times, i'd have to say the bad times probably outweighed the good, but thats mostly because i was a miserable person at the time and my life 'stank' [05:29] apokryphos: haven't a clue [05:30] :( [05:30] apokryphos: the day he was walking towards where i was, after telling the bailiffs, and i ran, was the last i saw/heard of him, it was a month or two before the end of the course [05:30] I'm still really looking forward to mine 8). Been told the first year involves.... no work. [05:30] he'd dropped out of uni by then, so he had no real reason to be around the uni [05:30] right [05:31] apokryphos: probably the time i remember most from uni, and oddly this was both good and bad, was walking 5 miles across wasteland to go to a Wishbone Ash concert in the next town over, and not realising that it would involve 'walking 5 miles across wasteland, IN THE DARK' back afterwards :) [05:31] the concert was impressive, the getting lost in the wastelands, not so impressive [05:32] Heh. That great carefree life ;-). I'd probably be really scared of the tiniest sound on the walk back if it was completely dark [05:32] in the end, a nice taxi driver i stumbled across sat sleeping in a car park on the edge of town, was nice enough to give me a ride home free [05:32] huh...huh! what was that? [05:32] apokryphos: it was worse than completely dark [05:33] cool; nice to see a good cabby [05:33] apokryphos: it was 5 miles of dodgy ground, with distant lights, that bore no real landmark [05:33] sure, they helped me get to the edge of the town, but i didn't have a clue where i was [05:33] by yourself, though? How come? [05:34] apokryphos: it was during the time i was renting the flat alone, and didn't know anyone else that wanted to see a washed up 70s rock band :P [05:34] hehe [05:35] you wouldn't think there would still be areas like that, just 'wasteland' between two towns in the UK these days, but there is :) [05:35] You'da thought they'd merge or something, but hey. [05:35] Won't be must wasteland in London, I'm sure. :| [05:35] apokryphos: there are some spots in north london [05:36] apokryphos: that brings to mind ANOTHER amusing anecdote from 'uni-related' stuff :) [05:36] Sure, and on the outskirts etc. Nothing in Central, I meant 8) [05:36] nikkia: fire away :P [05:36] apokryphos: see, i actually went to TWO unis, i went to hatfield for a year, then changed course, and ended up at teesside [05:36] nikkia: I actually wonder if half our conversations are ever really relevant to #kubuntu :P [05:36] Yup, I remember you mentioning. [05:37] but i still kept in touch with some friends from hatfield, and one of them, lived in north london, so whenever i needed to go to london for a concert or something, i'd crash at his parents' house [05:37] anyway, he's a bit of a psycho too, but a loveable type of psycho.... [05:37] nice [05:37] heh [05:37] and during one stay, he decided to show me the big collection of the pyro part of fireworks, he'd been collecting [05:38] anyway, he decided it was time to 'use' this collection, and build a rocket that he attached to the back of a large paper airplane he'd made, he figured it'd make the paper airplane go REALLY fast..... [05:38] it would burn it, surely :S [05:39] we went to a park/wasteland just down the road from him, anyway, suffice to say, he had neglected to realise that structural integrity of paper != good enough to handle having a crapload of thrust applied to it, and it just kind of went around and around in dangerously random circles [05:39] heh. One of those gadjet/experimenting people. I have a friend like that, but he always wildly exaggerates the affects [05:40] apokryphos: yeah [05:40] and he's good at English/describing too, so it sounds almost plausible [05:40] apokryphos: the next day we went to hamleys, and i showed him where the 'proper model rocket' stuff was :P [05:40] "I was instantaniously trajected around 3.5 metres and a small mushroom cloud formed" [05:40] hehehe === two-four-five-T [n=245t@203-59-180-6.dyn.iinet.net.au] has joined #kubuntu [05:41] unfortunately, as we were walking out with him holding a big model rocket box, he was still looking at the R/C cars and muttering something about 'thrust' :) [05:42] haha. No limits to the imagination 8) [05:43] nikkia: many interesting personalities in Universites, no doubt. I figure I'l just try to meet as many people as possible in the first few days/weeks [05:44] nikkia: do people generally end up becoming best friends with who's nearest? [05:44] I've heard that a lot, and it was true for my two sisters. Found that pretty interesting. [05:44] apokryphos: 'nearest' ? [05:45] nikkia: my sister, for example, became best friends with the girl next door to her. My other sister's best friends were all ones in the "house" (split into many appartments) with [05:45] apokryphos: ah, you mean physically close, i dunno, i think it varies [05:45] most of the people i've been 'best friends' with, were just people i had stuff in common with [05:46] that's what I would've thought === edrex [n=edrechse@159.191.252.98] has joined #kubuntu [05:46] though my second oldest sister, I think people in her house were ones doing the same subjects.. yeah, they were. === apokryphos can't wait [05:48] still, I have 3 straight days of work to drag me down 8) === CellarDoor [n=CellarDo@d58-104-21-142.dsl.vic.optusnet.com.au] has joined #kubuntu [05:48] though, it doesn't really [05:48] a little good news kde fans [05:49] apparrently folks at ati wan't to work with the kde team on plasma putting em on their beta list [05:50] CellarDoor: really?

[11:31] kay, I thought I was mistaking and wanted some ACK [11:31] kay, its also a terse answer that isn't really an answer, much like rtfm [11:31] r'ing tfm is good advice, but its a lousy answer to a question [11:31] Rogue_jedi, I get "no such file or directory" error. How can I tell dpkg where to look? [11:31] Well, except for giving you the URL of it [11:32] A nice answer might have been "yes, see packages.debian.org" [11:32] kay, my answer was not: which KDE is in unstable [11:32] nikkia: If for Debian, and Ubuntu too, it is so easy to find out yourself [11:32] kay, thats not the point [11:32] And, the people you ask would have to do the very same thing [11:32] Isn't it unfair to expect people to serve as answer bots for such questions? [11:33] The real question, btw [11:33] kay, there's a gulf of difference between 'packages.debian.org' and 'i don't know, check packages.debian.org' [11:33] Thanks CellarDoor, I'll go there now. [11:33] Is - as I guess - the expected follow up [11:33] 3.3.2, hey common. shouldn't it be 3.4.2 at least? [11:33] kay, I presumed there was someone in the channel running KDE on unstable, and could acknowledge or deny my question [11:33] You didn't ask that then... [11:34] I asked: is KDE 3.3.2 in unstable [11:34] I expect, you ran into some heat with KDE backlog due to C [11:34] eh sorry [11:34] C++ transition [11:34] Debian is by far not as fast to transition as Ubuntu was... [11:35] I was reading about qt4 earlier and whats happening with KDE being ported to it and why and so forth... sounds good [11:35] CellarDoor: KDE is always ported to the latest Qt, eventually [11:35] I was thinking about running Debian @ work, because I like the distro and use it on some servers as well, but they changed my mind, (K)ubuntu and Gentoo people are so much nicer [11:35] Aapzak: So likely, it was not isolated event as it appears to you. I agree, bad behaviour in a way. [11:35] Aapzak: But not so bad and not so undestandable [11:35] CellarDoor: KDE2->KDE3 was the porting to Qt3, and like this port, happened some time after Qt3 was released [11:36] Aapzak: Do you have Gentoo installed on a computer somewhere? [11:36] running it right now [11:36] Gentoo really rocks :) [11:36] Aapzak: I was on Debian testing at work, then switched to Hoary, now Breezy... quite good stuff [11:37] o.0 [11:37] eh ? [11:37] yeah, true, but I can't use it to compile stuff for my servers on it, [11:37] slackware owns [11:37] Aapzak: How hard a time did you have installing it? I was thinking of trying it out myself on another puter [11:37] I was in #mepis, they hate ubuntu hehe [11:38] Rogue_Jedi_X: it's not that hard, and you'll learn something along the way, but expect to take at least 24 hours for an install [11:38] I won't repeat what they said about kubuntu [11:38] Gentoo documentation is the best there is [11:38] CellarDoor: Thank you very much [11:38] I downloaded mepis and had a play with it... I thought it sucked [11:38] Aapzak: I was already expecting something like that [11:38] :) [11:39] Who in the right mind could hate (k)ubuntu? [11:39] who does? [11:39] Why hat a distribution at all === CellarDoor points to #mepis [11:39] #mepis people, according to CellarDoor [11:39] :) [11:39] Hate those that create the code instead :p [11:39] hate is such an unhealthy emotion [11:39] Actually it likely not even true [11:40] Yes. Use rage instead [11:40] Aapzak: *shrug* [11:40] nikkia: my english sucks :) [11:40] What Shuttleworth is doing is give me good feelings [11:40] I kind of admire his vision... [11:40] I played with mepis for a while, but was very happy to get back to my kubuntu desktop [11:40] 'hate' doesn't mean what it used to, words change, and 'hate' has become a synonym for 'dislike' [11:41] nikkia: Found the juicy firefox thread. This is gold [11:41] Rogue_Jedi_X: gimme? [11:41] Rogue_Jedi_X: you'll get bored after about 300-400 posts [11:41] Ah, well, then Kubuntu probably dislikes everything else with the exception of Debian :p [11:41] i always do [11:42] That's what I hate about mailing lists. Unlike forums they don't show how many messages there are [11:42] Aapzak: no offense, but i get tired of hearing people bemoan people using the word 'hate' in place of dislike, the fact is, the word's meaning has changed, no amount of moaning about inapproriate usage will change that :) [11:42] the fact that mepis was still on kde 3.3, a wierd issue with it using not wanting to use my ethernet connection, and the general attitude of Mepis people... I was glad to be rid of Mepis [11:42] Rogue_Jedi_X: Download as mbox and use kmail to read it [11:43] Ah, handy. Thanks, kay === tom [n=tom@p508A6248.dip.t-dialin.net] has joined #kubuntu [11:43] I only hear good things about Mepis [11:43] I heard good things too [11:43] Thats why I tried it [11:44] pfft [11:44] for some reason... [11:44] I guess, you can't blame a distribution for being older than 3.4 [11:44] whenever i see someone mention mepis, i think of morphix [11:44] Or not every hardware working out of the box [11:44] nikkia: I understand, I just like to think about language. If hate is used as dislike. What would you have to say the mean the old hate? [11:44] Give peace a chance, Mepis has some merrits too [11:44] Aapzak: *shrug* [11:44] Rogue_Jedi_X: do you have the link for me? [11:45] Aapzak: Like badly :p [11:45] :) [11:45] I mean, as a user you need to pay respect [11:45] And when you come to the channel and need support [11:45] it's allright, you can use the word. I just mean the real hate, the oldfashion way, if you feel that, that can't be healthy :) [11:45] How about being grateful, how about expecting not perfect reactions and being glad you get help? [11:45] Aapzak: i know what you mean, i just can't think of any modern equivalent [11:46] Aapzak: Sorry, sorry. Forgot about you. [11:46] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2005/06/msg01160.html [11:46] I think this is the one [11:46] Rogue_Jedi_X: tnx [11:46] Rogue_Jedi_X: that's a recent resurgance of the issue [11:46] o_O [11:46] That trademark issue is indeed at the core of a real problem [11:46] Rogue_Jedi_X: the issue has been a recurring flamefest since about mid-last-year [11:46] Recent? There was something BEFORE? [11:47] Jeeze [11:47] trademark ? [11:47] Rogue_Jedi_X: soone or later people start slinging 'lets drop firefox from debian completely, that'll show them' strategems around :) [11:47] Yeah, they let you change the code as you want. [11:47] Yeah, I'm reading that right now, actually :P [11:47] But then you are not allowed to call it Firefox [11:47] Just as it always was with Redhat [11:47] Change it any way you like, just don't call it the same name === AnHu [n=anton@mnch-d9ba4084.pool.mediaWays.net] has joined #kubuntu [11:48] What's the big deal then. Make the changes needed for security reason and call it Firefucks [11:48] The same applies to Debian, can't change it and use their name still === AnHu [n=anton@mnch-d9ba4084.pool.mediaWays.net] has left #kubuntu ["Konversation] [11:48] kay, personally, i think its a perfectly acceptable situation, but i don't want to start another flamefest :P [11:48] The big deal is that Debian is supposed to be the base of other distributions [11:48] Rogue_Jedi_X: the real issue is weirder than that... [11:48] And that you can take things from there and are not limited in "main". [11:49] nikkia: Am I curious enough to know what it is? [11:49] Rogue_Jedi_X: mozilla have granted debian the right to still call it firefox, all the hand wringing is about potential sub-distros that base on debian [11:49] Software with "You are not allowed to change this" are regarded non-free by everybody who thinks of freedom [11:49] Like Ubuntu? [11:49] Yes, e.g. [11:49] kay, the problem, from mozilla's POV, is that firefox means more than just a few letters [11:50] Everybody distributing modified firefox is at legal risk [11:50] kay, if people start throwing about wildly modified 'firefox's, then it dilutes the 'brand image' of firefox as a competent web browser [11:50] It is a trademark, a reserved word so to say [11:50] Fair enough === sforwk [n=sforwk@63.81.143.202] has left #kubuntu ["Konversation] [11:50] Firefox is the current browser of choice, after all [11:50] nikkia: That brand image thing is all strange to me... they should not focus so much on one product [11:50] kay, and remember, linux is trademarked with similar issues, too [11:50] (Just wish it wasn't gnome based) [11:51] Konqueror is my browser [11:51] The linux trademark was originally not done by Linus [11:51] it integrates nicely with KDE [11:51] They were attempted to be blackmailed, suggested make money schemes [11:51] and its apps [11:52] Then it was transferred and now some strange org is trying to finance itself from it [11:52] Aapzak: Yeah, but I like some of Firefox's features better. Like the ability to select a search engine from the pull-down menu or the very nice search function [11:52] Aapzak: For all I hear, Konqueror will be getting Gecko backend too, elimating the need for Firefox completely [11:53] Rogue_Jedi_X: That is in KDE next too. [11:53] Now that would be awesome [11:53] Firefox is way more compatible with faulty sites, I just like to use Konqueror when possible [11:53] For the user it would be much more simple if one browser offered both free rendering engines [11:53] so no more safari/khtml engine? === ilba7r [n=ilba7r@d141-64-4.home.cgocable.net] has joined #kubuntu [11:53] kay: What's KDE next? [11:53] kay, it'd be even nicer if you could define rendering engine on a per site basis :) [11:54] still, so, Aapzak , just something from a menu that you can select [11:54] yeah, that would be nice indeed [11:54] nikkia: Dunno how that is going to be, AFAIK Dirk Mller does that thing, and he sure knows how to do things well [11:54] I'd opt for IE rendering then ;) [11:54] Rogue_Jedi_X: 3.5 [11:54] Oh, right [11:55] I saw it on some preview article [11:55] Duh [11:55] Aapzak: get MSHTML working via wine, and you probably could :P [11:55] I had it working once, [11:55] IE in wine [11:55] kay: You wouldn't happen to have the URL to it, would you? [11:55] The article, I mean [11:55] Not without google :p [11:55] needed to have that for Half-Life2 / Counterstrike [11:55] Dang it [11:55] sif use IE === fran [n=fran@dsl-200-95-19-233.prod-infinitum.com.mx] has joined #kubuntu [11:56] sif? [11:56] Aapzak: probably a wild misspell of sith [11:56] :) [11:56] http://jrepin.blogspot.com/2005/08/jlps-kde-35-previews-part-2.html [11:56] Rogue_Jedi_X: There it is, was on dot.kde.org [11:57] Thanks, kay [11:57] I liked IE3.0 in the days [11:57] I have a friend who runs HL2 on his ubuntu/SuSE system... as far as I know he doesn't use IE [11:57] besides, if 2 people in the universe use IE, it barely makes much difference, now, if CellarDoor had said 'dark jedi' then it'd be a different matter :P [11:57] CellarDoor: Maybe it's a Steam thing [11:57] CellarDoor: I while ago it was needed [11:57] Actually, I never liked Netscape or any Mozilla so far... :p [11:57] for steam indeed === Mustafa^^ [n=musti@85.99.201.55] has joined #kubuntu [11:57] hi alls === ilba7r [n=ilba7r@d141-64-4.home.cgocable.net] has joined #kubuntu [11:58] hello [11:58] hi [11:58] Hello :) [11:58] How do I update KDE 3.4.0 to 3.4.2 [11:58] I added apt sources [11:58] Mustafa^^: Follow the URL in topic === aseigo [n=aseigo@kde/aseigo] has joined #kubuntu [11:59] Mustafa^^: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [11:59] I saw this link but I couln't update [11:59] hi aseigo [11:59] Mustafa^^: Do you get an error message? [11:59] Mustafa^^: why not? [11:59] Install these packages without verification [y/N] ? [11:59] Grats aseigo to your sponsoring :) [11:59] y [12:00] kay: thanks =) [12:00] Install these packages without verification [y/N] ? y [12:00] E: Some packages could not be authenticated [12:00] CellarDoor: hey =) [12:00] They are unofficial packages Mustafa^^, that is why you got the question [12:00] :) [12:00] ok. kay thanx [12:00] Oh, you say y and they still fail? [12:01] yeah [12:01] This is where I sit back and watch how the experts do it [12:01] Mustafa^^: you're using hoary sources for your other packages? or still on warty? [12:01] I killed my KDE :( [12:01] I am going to look at that [12:02] lets not ask CellarDoor about this 3.4.2 :) === mike1_ [n=mike1@72.28.62.38] has joined #kubuntu [12:02] greetings [12:02] hi [12:02] I haven't fixed it yet [12:02] just tested sound NG [12:02] CellarDoor: Have you notified its next of kin? [12:02] CellarDoor: how on earth did you kill it? === [Surge] [n=[Surge] @tpr-ip-nas-1-p209.telkom-ipnet.co.za] has left #kubuntu ["zzz"] [12:02] ah well... [12:03] sound drums work and sign on works but aplay and audacity and everything else ng [12:03] oops.. :p === Mustafa^^ [n=musti@85.99.201.55] has joined #kubuntu [12:03] It all started when I decided I'd like to get kcontrol back in my kmenu (as it wasn't there after I upgraded to 3.4.2) [12:03] I should have just left it alone [12:03] I added it myself [12:03] mike, try artsplay [12:04] CellarDoor: you killed your config or whole KDE? [12:04] o.0 [12:04] 00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 [12:04] ah lets just say Konqueror is no more :P [12:04] try moving your .kde dir somewhere else? [12:04] c0rrupt_: hrm? [12:04] mike1_: chances are, you're getting hit by arts locking the sound driver, you either need to switch other apps to use arts, or configure dmix, (there are more complex and exotic solutions however) [12:04] nikkia: looks like it works but no sound
