MensHello, is that bug with Administer password a ubuntu+kde or a debian+kde issue ?12:33
Mensand that bug with kynaptic like I have to klik 100x before it prompts for my password12:34
VeloxI've been as of yet unable to run winex cvs BTJustice.12:34
nikkiaMens, by the 'password' bug, do you mean the fact that admin. mode on kcontrol doesn't always work ?12:49
nikkiaMens, if so, i think its a general KDE bug, i get it to a varying degree on my LFS setup12:50
Mensok, yes thats waht i mean12:51
nikkiaand i wouldn't recommend kynaptic, its not really ready for use yet, apt-get install synaptic and use that instead12:51

apokryphosnikkia: hi. Evil mouse randomly died; I hope it doesn't become a trend 8)12:55
nikkiahmm12:55
nikkiamy batteries in mine died last night, which was unusal, as it'd only been about 2 weeks since i changed them last12:55
nikkiathere again, they could have been sat in the 'for future use' pre-charged pile, and NiMH discharges on the shelf12:56
apokryphosnikkia: slightly handy thing about this one (not sure if others do it), is that you can plug it up into usb when batteries die, and it charges it :P12:56
nikkiaapokryphos: i used to have an MX700 that i liked, but on the other hand, this way, i have a big pile of NiMH AAs ready for my Xbox 360 :)12:57

nikkiaapokryphos: yeah12:58
nikkiaapokryphos: but MS decided to charge extra for the rechargable battery pack12:58
nikkiaapokryphos: the out of the box behaviour is to want AAs12:58
apokryphosfinally; that should've come out years ago. 12:58
nikkiathankfully, i have 8 pairs of NiMH AAs here12:58
apokryphosI guess they consider the recharging too much of an issue or something before :/12:59
nikkia(1 pair in the keyboard, 1 pair in the mouse, 1 pair occasionally in the digicam, and the rest just waiting to be used)12:59
apokryphosnikkia: speaking of digicams, do you have any cheap ones to recommend? Gonna need one for holiday12:59
nikkiaapokryphos: it DID come out years ago, nintendo released the wavebird fairly early in the gamecube's life :)01:00
apokryphoswe have one now, but it has annoying half-click-then-full-click behavior (for focusing). It *can* take good pictures, but it's annoying01:00
nikkiaapokryphos: tbh, no, i don't really keep track01:00
apokryphosoh :-O. Never heard of it; couldn't have gone too mainstream.01:00
nikkiaapokryphos: i think you'll find the half-press is standard01:00
apokryphosanything without that is good for me. It's annoying, especially when getting explaining it to others.01:01
nikkiaapokryphos: tbh, its standard in the photography world, period01:01
nikkiamy old T70 had half-press for the light meters :)01:01
apokryphosok, so I'm going non-standard ;-)01:01
nikkiai think even my OM1 had half-press01:01

nikkiaand everyone has competitive cameras at around the same price, so it should be possible :)01:06
apokryphosonly canon I've used is ours, and half-press I just don't like 01:06
apokryphosYeah, I suppose01:06
apokryphosnikkia: what's this... Sony? ;-)01:06
apokryphosaha, it's this one http://www.kodak.com/eknec/PageQuerier.jhtml?pq-path=1833&pq-locale=en_US01:07
nikkiaapokryphos: i have an 'ancient' DSC-P51, its the only sony product i've owned thats lasted more than 5 years01:07
apokryphosbefore they changed their tactics01:07
nikkiano01:07
nikkiai've had problems with sony stuff since 198901:08
nikkiasince 1988 if i'm honest01:08
nikkiasince the walkman i bought in 89 was a replacement for one i bought in 8801:08
ralph1apokryphos: Well you convinced me and I installed kubuntu-desktop in my Breezy test partition. After testing I found it stable enough to use daily, but for the fact that some apps I need are not there yet. So I will continue to monitor and wait for it to mature a little more. Thanks for convincing me to try it.01:08
nikkiai don't know how, but i managed to go thru 5 sony walkmans before i realised i was being fleeced, each one lasting just over a year01:08
apokryphosnikkia: old habits die hard ;-)01:09
apokryphosralph1: cool =). What apps?01:09
nikkiaapokryphos: what REALLY annoyed me, was that the walkman was a replacement for an Aiwa walkman that had lived a scarily long life01:09
apokryphos"Point-and-shoot simplicity" -- aha, that's the name of it.01:09
nikkiait wasn't until 1996 that i managed to find another Aiwa that i liked, it was still alive last i saw it when i left the US01:10
nikkiaof course, now Sony own Aiwa, so thats a waste of time now :/01:10
ralph1apokryphos: Kmymoney2 and Gramps. I need close to the latest version for both and a synaptic search for them came up blank.01:10
apokryphosthere's something I didn't know01:10
nikkiaand my Aiwa MP3 player lasted a whopping 3 weeks, so they've got the sony QA down right01:10
nikkiaapokryphos: ?01:11
apokryphosralph1: those are both in universe, but isn't gramps gnome?01:11
ralph1apokryphos: Gramps is gnome, there just is no KDE equivilant. What version for Kmymoney201:12
apokryphosnikkia: just the sony aiwa thing. There's so many small mp3 players that are just annoying as they break down so quick01:12

apokryphosexactly01:14
nikkiaapokryphos: i'd quite like a iAudio X501:14
ralph1apokryphos: Way to old, need Kmymoney2 version 7.4 or the latest version 0.8. I believe a MOTU is working on an update.01:14
nikkiaall the reviews say its fairly durable01:14
apokryphosstill, my iRiver is perfect what I'd use it most -- work.01:14
apokryphosralph1: good to know. Though, you know, it's very easy to compile applications ;-). I'd find it odd if one old version fo an app stopped you using a DE on a given distro01:15

nikkiaits biggest advantage is that it pretty much plays anything01:19

apokryphosar well01:23
nikkiaapokryphos: the long-play version is so minor a weight/size difference, but so major a play time difference, too01:23
nikkiaie, 4mm thicker and 35g heavier, for 35 hours instead of 14 hours01:24

BagsCan anyone tell me what Linux users use when they want to do a remote desktop session? A VNC client for KDE? 01:27
nikkiaBags: 'krdc'01:27
nikkiaits a standard app in kde, although it depends on running external vnc or rdesktop programs01:28
Bagsnikkia: Oh, hi Nikkia. 01:28
Bagsnikkia: thanks for that. 01:28
nikkiaactually, VNC access *might* be built in01:28
Bagsnikkia: I'll try it now. 01:28
nikkiabut i know it needs rdesktop installed for rdp:// access01:28
nikkia(KDE includes a VNC server these days too :)01:29
Bagsnikkia: Yeah, I've got that working already... I can operate my KDE from a windoze client. 01:29
nikkiabags, i generally find if the windows machine is XP, you're better off using rdesktop01:30

eric_can someone tell me how to safely uninstall linux? my last attempt resulted in not being able to access anything because grub was missing. I need to remove linux and GRUB so i can install a different OS on this partition, can someone tell me how to safely remove linux?05:53
eric_anyone?05:54
eric_is anyone even in here right now?05:54

senarothboot in to xp or whatever you plan on using05:54
senarothand go from there05:54
crimsunand use /fixmbr or whatnot afterward05:55
eric_but last time i did that i lost grub which prevented me from getting into my windows partition05:55
senarothyou dont need grub05:55
senarothif youre only using windows05:55
eric_I am using windows, and i use grub to manage my OS's05:55
eric_when my computer boots, it boots through GRUB05:55
senarothi dont know, never used grub w/o linux05:56
eric_i pick the os from the list grub gives me05:56
senarothyea05:56
senarothi know what you mean05:56
eric_i have linux, and i am on it right now05:56
senarothwhat im saying is ive never used grub to solely switch between windows os's05:56
eric_i need to remove or disable grub05:56
senarothso wait05:57
senarothare you trying to save data here?05:57
senarothor are you willing to just format everything05:57

senarothand remove linux and grub with it05:57
senarothand be left only with windows05:57
eric_i am trying to remove linux to make way for another windows OS, kind of like a back up05:57
senarothwell you dont really need 2 OS's to back stuff up, you could just have a seperate partition05:58
senarothbut if thats what you want to do05:58
senarothi would boot in to windows and use partition magic05:58
eric_in case one installation goes bad (and it has) i will have a backup, and i was going to use linux for that, but its too complicated for me, so i want to install another copy of windows05:58
senarothtremendous waste of space imho05:59
eric_plus one copy is windows profeesional, and the one i am trying to install is server edition05:59
senarothwell do it that way then05:59
senarothwindows > part magic > remove all linux partitions05:59

kalenedrael^ add that to /etc/network/interfaces08:32
kalenedraeler08:32
kalenedraelwlan0, not eth008:32
insanekanemakkk: as you can see, my eth1 uses dhcp to get IP addresses08:32
insanekanemakkk: if kalenedrael is correct, you can use wlan0 instead of eth1, to fix up ur gf's auto configuration of wlan08:32
insanekanemakkk: to be very sure, try ifconfig and see the list of interfaces configured08:33
makkkinsanekane, I'm currently using wlan008:33
kalenedraeli think the name is inherent to the driver08:33
kalenedraelthey could call it 'foo0' if they wanted too, i guess08:33
ray_anybody else have 3d accel probs in kde08:34
insanekanemakkk: in that case, add wlan0 to the "auto lo eth1 eth0" like so ... "auto lo wlan0 <add any other intrfaces"08:34
kalenedraeljust that 'eth' and 'wlan' are standard, so08:34
insanekanemakkk: and then, later in the file, add a line "iface wlan0 inet dhcp"08:34
kalenedraelyes, add that08:34
insanekanemakkk: take a look at my file08:34
makkkinsanekane, i do have that already08:34
kalenedraeli have:08:34
kalenedraelauto lo08:34
kalenedraelauto wlan008:34
kalenedraelthen the iface lines08:34
insanekanemakkk: in that case, go to the line "iface wlan0 ..." and change static to dhcp08:34

hussamwhat version?03:44
nikkia0.4203:44
hussamon Kubuntu?03:44
nikkiano, on my LFS install03:45
nikkiamy kubuntu laptop has 0.40 or whatever the latest version in the repositories is03:45
nikkiabut since it lacks a lot of features, i tend to rarely use inkscape on my laptop03:45
hussamoh. I was asking because hoary has 0.40 and doesn't have the dependancies for compiling 0.4203:46
hussam0.42 requires libgc 6.4 but hoary has 6.303:46
nikkiai see03:46
hussamnikkia: should I backport libgc 6.4 from breezy ( so I can compile inkscape 0.42 ) or is it too risky?03:47
nikkiahussam: i dunno, there's not much that honestly depends on libgc, and its likely that 6.3 and 6.4 can co-exist03:48

hussamOk, I'll go aheah and backport libgc 6.403:52
nikkiai'm betting all you have that uses it is inkscape03:52

hussamthoreauputic: donno, do locate firefox I guess04:00
thoreauputic `which firefox` is easier and quicker - but it's /usr/bin/firefox04:01
nikkiathe more correct command for putting in a script/config would probably be /usr/bin/env firefox :)04:02

nikkiaevery app has to determine it itself, KDE and Gnome/GTK apps use a common setting for each framework, but they will NOT affect all X apps06:19

ztonzyapokryphos, way faster than gnome...it is sluggish...and kde is too unstable for me (at least) and there's lots of menus in xfce08:54
apokryphosYes, it's definitely more ligthweight than those two08:54

bkueblerFor a file server, i was going to use 2 external USB hdd's in a RAID1.08:58

ztonzyapokryphos, i did shortly...not much...no menus...need to find everything for yourself09:00

Blissexbkuebler: but I would in any case use internal hotplug capable ATA stuff anyhow.09:01
chakiehm, the mic input and headphone output on the front of the pc don work09:02

bkueblerBlissex, it's not for me.09:02
chakiei think the assembler didn't connect those, as at least speaker output should always work (sound works otherwise ok)09:02
bkueblerI may look at a hardware SATA card...09:07
bkueblerjust keeping options open.09:07
Blissexbkuebler: Firewire, but the best option is a 3ware card with a 3ware disk cage.,09:08
Blissexbkuebler: thats hw raid plus hotpluggable SATA or even ATA.09:08

Blissexhussam: there are several, depending on what you mean by similar.10:07
arcanistherogueIn KDE, when I play a game, my sound lags about 2 seconds and my games freeze after about 10 minutes of playing.  Is there a way to stop this?  I have an AMD Athlon 64 3000+ and an nVidia 660010:07
=== apokryphos just realised that edubuntu includes all kde-edu -- nice.
hussamBlissex: just something with nice graphics.10:08
hussamBlissex: maybe anything that used opengl, I guess10:08
Rondomwell, most games are older10:09
Blissexarcanistherogue: if you are using 64 bit mode then things are not quite settled yet...10:09
Blissexhussam: well, there are quite a few in many genres. For example Quake 2 :-)10:09
Rondomthe engine was made open-source by the company which sold the game10:09
Rondomdoom10:09
Rondomis an example10:09
Rondomdn3d10:09
hussamare these free?10:09
Blissexhussam: but have a look at http://WWW.Icculus.org/ and the Linux Game Tome.10:10
arcanistherogueBlissex: nah, im on x86] 10:10
RondomI know a German site about linux games10:10
Rondomthere's also an english one10:10
Blissexarcanistherogue: an Athlon 64 can run in either 32 or 64 bit, you sure you are running in 32 bit mode?10:10
Rondommaybe i can give you a link10:10
Blissexhussam: a totally different game with amazing graphics is a flight simulator for example.10:11
arcanistherogueBlissex: I didn't configure anything, but I installed the x86 version.  Actually, in control center, it says i686, so im probably not in 64 bit mode.10:11
