[12:06] <zerotime> really nice job
[12:06] <treefrog> it works a treat
[12:07] <zerotime> thx kubuntu its just what I want now
[12:07] <stevio> Hi. Anyone know if the game Atomic is included in kubuntu?
[12:07] <treefrog> Also set permissions so your normal user can get acess to it
[12:07] <_jaypee> good job treefrog
[12:07] <treefrog> otherwise only the admin will get to see anything.
[12:07] <treefrog> then enable it and you are off
[12:11] <frank23> stevio: is that the puzzle game with atoms?
[12:11] <ku_dude> hello dudes..
[12:12] <ku_dude> anybody here installed vmware workstation?
[12:13] <stevio> Sorry frank, yes it is the puzzle game with atoms
[12:14] <frank23> stevio: you can install it with adept
[12:14] <frank23> ku_dude: I installed vmware
[12:14] <frank23> ku_dude: install     gcc-3.4   linux-kernel-headers   
[12:15] <stevio> Adept? I don't know what that is. I'm on regular ubuntu. I'm just wondering for a friend, he loves the game. He will install Kubuntu if that game is on it. I think its a kde game...
[12:15] <frank23> stevio: adept is the package manager like synaptic
[12:15] <frank23> stevio: it's probably called  katomic
[12:16] <stevio> Yeah, I think it is.
[12:16] <stevio> I was thinking it came with the distro, but I guess not. Just as good though, thanks. 
[12:16] <frank23> stevio: it's not there by default no
[12:16] <stevio> Alright, thanks bro. 
[12:17] <frank23> ku_dude:     to run the vmware  config:   export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4   then  run the config script
[12:17] <kkathman> Hey frank, if we had installed all the compiler stuff under hoary, would that have gotten updated in an upgrade, or should I donwload all that stuff again?
[12:18] <frank23> kkathman: the packages you had before will be upgraded
[12:18] <scanner> Hi people around the world ;-)

[12:19] <scanner> Have someone installed prelink?
[12:20] <kkathman> sorush20: thats cuz this is linux not osX
[12:20] <frank23> kkathman: umm well if you had  build-essential before, you have the breezy version now

[01:05] <asraniel> hi, i have some files called dsdt for my laptop that i just found in a tutorial. my question is, to get full acpi support for my laptop, do i have to recompile the kernel?
[01:05] <ku_dude> frank23: frank.. none of my package managers are loaded..
[01:05] <ku_dude> how do you use apt-get to check if a package is installed? --query?
[01:05] <Spudchat> hi everyone...has anyone had any success networkin the lexmark x1150 printer?
[01:05] <frank23> ku_dude: I had a horrible problem with it. I had to boot in safe mode to remove network-manager

[01:06] <frank23> ku_dude: using apt-get remove network-manager
[01:06] <treefrog> Can someone confirm what my multivers repo should be.

[01:06] <treefrog> eb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted universe multiverse
[01:06] <treefrog> deb-src http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezymain restricted universe multiverse
[01:06] <ku_dude> it says it isn't installed.
[01:07] <ku_dude> but some network conflict is on my system though.
[01:07] <ku_dude> I can talk to you through konquer.. but can't browse the web at all.
[01:07] <raphink> talk through konqui?
[01:07] <raphink> how would you do that?
[01:07] <ku_dude> plus the "Bridged networking on /dev/vmnet0" service failed..
[01:08] <ku_dude> something is scrude up with my system.
[01:08] <frank23> ku_dude: ok...  I don't really know... 
[01:08] <ku_dude> frank23: yeah.. me either. :)
[01:09] <ku_dude> some networking thing though...guess I have to reboot and uninstall vmware then check what networking tool is messing with it.
[01:09] <zerotime> howto install win32codecs
[01:09] <zerotime> ?
[01:09] <raphink> zerotime: I would use Automatix
[01:09] <raphink> for that
[01:10] <frank23> ku_dude: I guess.. my problem was with network-manager but some others tools could have similar problems I guess

[01:36] <Blissex> libben: look at 'man shutdown'.
[01:39] <libben> sudo shutdown -p -t 1200 
[01:39] <libben> should work
[01:40] <Blissex> libben: looks good.
[01:41] <Blissex> libben: error, looks wrong.
[01:41] <libben> yeah, just tried
[01:41] <libben> but i dont understand why its getting wrong.. im trying diffrent ways,
[01:41] <Blissex> libben: sudo shutdown -h -H 20
[01:41] <Blissex> libben: sudo shutdown -h -H 20 "power off..."
[01:42] <libben> why h and H
[01:42] <libben> isnt it good with just -H ?
[01:42] <Blissex> libben: '-h' to halt, '-H' for poweroff on halt, '20' for 20 minutes and the rest it is the shutdown message.
[01:42] <libben> '20' is gonna be secs =)
[01:42] <Blissex> libben: '-h' is the action to perform, '-H' is the flavour of halting to do.
[01:43] <Blissex> libben: actually it should be '+20'
[01:43] <Blissex> typo.
[01:44] <wu-hsin> hello, anyone awake and not tired of newbie problems?
[01:44] <wu-hsin> ;)
[01:44] <Blissex> The  time  argument can have different formats.  First, it can be an absolute time in the format hh:mm, in which hh is the hour
[01:44] <Blissex>        (1 or 2 digits) and mm is the minute of the hour (in two digits).  Second, it can be in the format +m, in which m is the number
[01:44] <Blissex>        of minutes to wait.  The word now is an alias for +0.
[01:44] <wu-hsin> have trouble partitioning, can't get beyond it trying to install kubuntu 5.10
[01:45] <Blissex> wu-hsin: just ask.
[01:45] <wu-hsin> thanks, blissex
[01:45] <Blissex> wu-hsin: consider reading these suggestions on how to ask questions: http://tinyurl.com/bz8v4
[01:46] <SillyCone> can somebody help me configuring a second language layout under KDE? ...I've already configured the language itself, but I cant switch between the layouts using hotkeys
[01:46] <SillyCone> The default trigger is Alt+Ctrl+K, but when I change from English to Russian, "K" character does not exist on the keyboard anymore, so I cant switch back
[01:47] <SillyCone> and I cant set it to Alt+Shift for some reason..
[01:48] <wu-hsin> blissex, i find it hard trying to locate an answer for this type of problem
[01:48] <wu-hsin> so i'll just shoot
[01:48] <wu-hsin> when trying to write partitions during kubuntu install, i get the error message "Error informing the kernel about modifications to partition /yadayada - Device or resource busy."
[01:48] <Blissex> SillyCone: thats just modifiers, dont do it.
[01:49] <Blissex> wu-hsin: then reboot, and restart installation without reparitioning, the partitions will be alreayd setup
[01:49] <SillyCone> Blissex, what shoul I do?
[01:49] <SillyCone> should*
[01:49] <wu-hsin> blissex i tried that once, maybe i should try it again
[01:50] <Blissex> SillyCone: just do what everybody does: put the keyboard switching applent in the panel.
[01:50] <Blissex> SillyCone: and use the mouse to click on it and switch layouts.
[01:50] <Blissex> wu-hsin: looks like you should.
[01:51] <SillyCone> I switch between layouts too often, I need to switch from the keyboard
[01:51] <wu-hsin> blissex have i understood correctly that i should have at least one root partition with boot flag and preferrably a swap partition on top of that? also i didn't do anything to my Xp, basically just booted the kubuntu CD and went on trying to partition from there
[01:53] <Blissex> wu-hsin: yes, but you need to have empty space on the disk.
[01:53] <Blissex> SillyCone: switching from the keyboard is a bit of a problem...
[01:53] <Blissex> SillyCone: ask in #KDE, I think they know another way to do it.
[01:53] <SillyCone> Blissex, I figured that out already :)
[01:53] <SillyCone> Blissex, thanks, I will
[01:54] <wu-hsin> i guess deleting existing partitions (so as to see the giant letters "FREE" on the screen) qualifies as empty space?
[01:55] <asraniel> i have a problem. after installing java, the java cimmand launches gij, how can i change that?
[01:57] <Blissex> wu-hsin: yes it does, it may be you will regret it later :-).
[02:00] <wu-hsin> blissex no worries about that one. all my precious documents are on cd's and i'm ever so happy now that i'm finally without XP, no matter if it means existing without any hard disk mounted OS for some time :)
[02:00] <wu-hsin> microsoft's absolute joke of a security update last week was the last drop...
[02:01] <wu-hsin> well, i'm off to bed. i'll figure this partitioning stuff out tomorrow after a refreshing coma. thanks for the help!
[02:02] <wu-hsin> bye ->
[02:08] <jloden> My sound worked under Hoary, but not under breezy, anyone have a moment to help troubleshoot?

[02:10] <kkathman> Evening Blissex :)
[02:10] <aldenwlinn> hello ppl
[02:11] <kkathman> lol
[02:11] <aldenwlinn> realy
[02:11] <kkathman> pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
[02:11] <strike4ce> Can I reverse the update of KDE 3.5 beta?
[02:12] <kkathman> strike4ce: can you...yes....is it easy....not even
[02:12] <strike4ce> kkathman: how?
[02:13] <crimsun> jloden: paste the output from amixer onto paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[02:13] <kkathman> strike4ce: I heard someone explain it yesterday and didnt understand all the steps, so I'd hesitate to say anything
[02:13] <jloden> ok
[02:13] <kkathman> strike4ce: I know it involves removing a lot of things, rebooting, reinstalling kubuntu...but there are some other things
[02:14] <kkathman> In essence I think yer stuck until the RC comes out
[02:14] <jloden> http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/d3396
[02:16] <jbasilio> this new beta sucks .. terribly.  i don't know why they even bothered posting it it's so bad.  (at least for me)  such is the price of bleeding edge!
[02:16] <jbasilio> i'm trying to downgrade now using apt preferences ... 
[02:16] <endo> how can i change my resolution settings to 1280x1024?
[02:17] <crimsun> jloden: in a Konsole, amixer sset 'Headphone Jack Sense' off
[02:17] <jloden> done
[02:17] <endo> how can i change my resolution?
[02:18] <jloden> endo: is it available as a choice if you right click on your Desktop and go to "Configure Desktop" - > Display -> Screen Size ? 
[02:18] <endo> i did
[02:18] <endo> wont let me choose anything larger
[02:18] <jloden> is the resolution you want actually available there in the drop-down list? 
[02:19] <endo> no
[02:19] <endo> but i know i have it
[02:19] <endo> it worked with xandros
[02:19] <jloden> ok, then that means that X is not configured to provide any higher resolutions, either because your monitor and/or video card are unable to go higher, or because X isn't configured properly for it 
[02:19] <endo> i beleive x isnt configured properly
[02:20] <jloden> if you're sure it works on 1280x1024, you'll likely need to edit xorg.conf 
[02:20] <endo> i am positive
[02:20] <endo> anyone can walk me through that?
[02:20] <jloden> if you go to http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl and paste your xorg.conf contents in there I can take a look 
[02:21] <jloden> crimsun: still no sound, anything other output I can provide that will help you troubleshoot?
[02:21] <orangey> hey all!
[02:21] <orangey> are there openoffice.org2 packs in the reps yet?
[02:23] <crimsun> jloden: hmm, so you dist-upgraded from Hoary?|
[02:23] <crimsun> -|
[02:24] <jloden> crimsun: no, fresh install 
[02:24] <jloden> I tried dist-upgrade, but I ran out of space on / because I partitioned like a moron a while back 
[02:25] <jloden> endo: did you get the xorg.conf pasted?
[02:25] <crimsun> jloden: try muting External Amplifier
[02:27] <jloden> crimsun: dont think that worked, but is there a way to make sure I muted it properly? 
[02:27] <crimsun> amixer sget 'External Amplifier'
[02:28] <jloden> Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined; Playback channels: Mono; Mono: Playback [off] 
[02:28] <jloden> that look right? 
[02:29] <crimsun> yea

[02:35] <crimsun> jloden: does aplay produce sound?
[02:35] <Balooo> hi 
[02:35] <Tm_T> well, but it can broke your system
[02:35] <Diablo_D3> Tm_T: ahh
[02:35] <Tm_T> Diablo_D3: so stay away from it
[02:35] <Diablo_D3> dont worry
[02:35] <endo> sorry wife needed me
[02:35] <Diablo_D3> I dont install ubuntu
[02:35] <Balooo> can  anyone  tell   me  if  kstars  is  included on the  live  dvd   ?

[02:36] <endo> jloden
[02:36] <toran> hey guys, how can I get GTK themes on my GTK apps in Kubuntu (I'm using fluxbox as my window manager, actually)
[02:36] <endo> im doing that now
[02:36] <Tm_T> can't imagine how stupid must be that fellow who did that "program"
[02:36] <endo> searching for the file
[02:37] <crimsun> jloden: you'll need to experiment with line sense being ON then
[02:37] <Tm_T> toran: apt-cache search gtk | grep theme
[02:37] <Tm_T> or engine
[02:37] <jloden> crimsun: what's the command to turn it on? 
[02:37] <crimsun> jloden: you can use any mixer to turn it on
[02:38] <toran> Tm_T: those are just different themes I can install... I use gtk-chtheme to choose it, but the theme doesn't get applied until I start that app
[02:38] <crimsun> jloden: ICH4 apparently has a lingering issue with Line and Headphone Jack Sense(s)
[02:38] <Tm_T> toran: well, that's how it works
[02:38] <toran> Tm_T: well, that sucks... I don't wanna start an app every time I log in just to make all my GTK apps look right ><
[02:39] <Tm_T> toran: it doesn't save your settings?
[02:39] <endo> jloden: pasted it as Levi
[02:39] <toran> apparently not
[02:39] <Tm_T> toran: I do those changes once
[02:39] <Tm_T> hmm
[02:39] <jloden> crimsun: no luck with either one on or off or both on/both off
[02:40] <toran> oh, wait, maybe it is working
[02:40] <toran> nvm ><
[02:40] <Tm_T> toran: :)
[02:40] <toran> sorry to bother you
[02:40] <Tm_T> np
[02:40] <endo> so if you can tell me whats up that would be great
[02:40] <toran> I had my kde control center set to use my KDE theme in GKT
[02:40] <toran> *GTK
[02:40] <toran> I turned that off and it's working
[02:40] <Tm_T> :p
[02:40] <jloden> endo: that xorg.conf shows all 1280x1024 resolution settings...theoretically your display should be at 1280x1024 unless there was an error 
[02:40] <endo>  dont think there was
[02:40] <crimsun> jloden: now add External Amplifier into the permutation
[02:40] <endo> i dont know the deal
[02:41] <endo> bb in 1 hr
[02:41] <endo> gotta get dinner
[02:41] <Balooo> can  anyone  tell   me  if  kstars  is  included on the  live  dvd  for   PPC   ?
[02:41] <toran> I have one other question.. how can I get my custom cursor themes to work in fluxbox? they work when I'm in KDE, but not when I'm not :(
[02:42] <jloden> damn, this sucks...I've not had a problem with sound in a long time, and now I'm totally soundless 
[02:42] <Tm_T> endo: small advice: cat /var/log/xorg.0.log | grep EE
[02:42] <Tm_T> Balooo: no with that many spaces
[02:42] <Tm_T> jloden: what's the problem
[02:43] <whitefungi> anyone running the unreal tournament server on ubuntu?
[02:43] <Balooo> ok  thx  Tm_T
[02:43] <Tm_T> Balooo: that said, I don't know but you have too many spaces between words imo
[02:43] <jloden> dunno, on Hoary I had no problems with sound, but Breezy does not like my sound card 
[02:43] <Tm_T> ;)
[02:44] <Tm_T> jloden: what does alsamixer say
[02:44] <jloden> alsamixer says my sound is on 
[02:44] <jloden> and I posted amixer output into http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/d3396 for crimsun earlier 
[02:44] <crimsun> jloden: it's a mixer issue
[02:45] <crimsun> I have the same ac97 codec but a different base dsp, and mine works with headphone and line jack sense muted
[02:45] <Balooo> Tm_T  just  a  safety  margin  thx  anyway  
[02:45] <crimsun> external amplifier doesn't matter
[02:45] <jloden> I've tried dicking with the mixer stuff but can't find a combo that will get a peep out of this thing so far
[02:45] <Tm_T> Balooo: safety margin?
[02:45] <Tm_T> Balooo: at least it's annoying :(
[02:47] <jloden> gah....sound works now 
[02:47] <jloden> I had to hit the mute button on the thinkpad keypad on and off a couple times, then it just started working 
[02:47] <Tm_T> :)
[02:47] <Tm_T> jloden: ok, you never said it's laptop
[02:47] <Balooo> sorry  for  that Tm_T
[02:47] <jloden> well, thanks for the troubleshooting help crimsun and Tm-T :)
[02:47] <Tm_T> jloden: yes, it's important importation
[02:48] <Tm_T> info
[02:48] <Tm_T> anyway
[02:48] <jloden> sorry, should have mentioned, my faul t
[02:48] <Tm_T> np :)

[04:47] <ku_dude> frank23: hey frank you there?
[04:49] <frank23> yeha
[04:51] <ku_dude> about vmware..
[04:51] <ku_dude> so I installed it ok.
[04:51] <frank23> ok
[04:51] <ku_dude> it runs only if I disable networking.
[04:51] <ku_dude> so I am creatin the virtual machines. then maybe try enable networking later on..
[04:51] <frank23> ok
[04:52] <ku_dude> only one question though.. when you install windows XP for example in a virtual machine should the license key work as if you had installed it on a real system?
[04:52] <frank23> ku_dude: did you add networking software or special configuration to cause vmware not working?
[04:53] <ku_dude> frank23: I don't know..but I will illiminate stuff until i solve the problem.. I noticed bind was installed, so I removed that.
[04:53] <ku_dude> not sure what else could be causing the problem.
[04:53] <frank23> ku_dude: ummm....  I think so
[04:53] <ku_dude> anyways I suspend the virtual machine, I will try to finish XP installation tomorrow.
[04:53] <endo> how do i go about install kde .deb ?
[04:53] <ku_dude> i'm going home now to my bed.. take care. and thanks again for your help.
[04:54] <ku_dude> frank23: will you be online tomorrow?
[04:54] <ku_dude> frank23: on #kubuntu ie.

[05:15] <frank23> endo   you write that in a konsole
[05:15] <endo> i did
[05:15] <frank23> MPC: I don't know anything about that
[05:16] <frank23> endo: what did it say?
[05:16] <MPC> thanks, Frank23
[05:16] <endo> sudo 855resolution -l
[05:16] <endo> sudo: 855resolution: command not found
[05:16] <MPC> btw, I have the same video problem with Ubuntu not recognizing the Centrino video chip set
[05:17] <MPC> I have no option to set my video to 1280x800, my notebook's native resolution
[05:17] <frank23> endo did apt-get install 855resolution work without error?
[05:18] <endo> nope
[05:18] <endo> says couldnt find package
[05:19] <frank23> endo why didn't you say that from the start?    you need to enable universe. go in adept:  file->manage repositories
[05:20] <endo> hu
[05:20] <endo> from the beginning
[05:21] <endo> from the kde desktop?
[05:21] <frank23> endo: K->system->Package manager(adept)
[05:22] <endo> ok
[05:22] <endo> i got it
[05:23] <endo> full upgrade
[05:23] <frank23> did you go to manage repositories?
[05:23] <endo> yes
[05:24] <frank23> ok
[05:25] <frank23> fetch updates, then do a search for 855resolution
[05:26] <endo> ok
[05:26] <endo> will do
[05:28] <endo> i dont see it
[05:29] <frank23> did you enable the lines with universe?
[05:29] <kkathman> I was a little surprised there were no updates today through Adept :)
[05:30] <endo> ?
[05:30] <frank23> endo why didn't you say that from the start?    you need to enable universe. go in adept:  file->manage repositories
[05:31] <frank23> sorry I didn't mean to be rude... I just pasted something from before
[05:31] <endo> i now
[05:31] <endo> i KNOW
[05:31] <endo> i dont understand what your saying
[05:31] <endo> the lines with universe int he repository are comments
[05:32] <frank23> yes but right click them to enable them
[05:32] <MPC> Frank23:  fyi: I was able to sudo apt-get install 855resolution ... and sudo 855resolution -l ... listed video modes, including 7e  1280x800
[05:32] <frank23> MPC: so it should work... 
[05:32] <endo> i got em
[05:33] <kkathman> hey thoreauputic  :)
[05:33] <endo> now i am fetching updates
[05:34] <MPC> now what? ... i.e. System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution .... still only lists ONE choice: 1024x768
[05:34] <frank23> MPC: are the horizfreq and vertrefresh numbers good in xorg.conf?
[05:34] <endo> frank thanks man
[05:34] <endo> says its installed
[05:34] <MPC> Frank23:  let me check ...
[05:35] <satafterh> hello all, is there a desktop theme manager in kubuntu
[05:35] <endo> what should i do now
[05:35] <MPC> frank23:  are you familiar with the path to xorg.conf?
[05:35] <kkathman> satafterh: yes, its part of the system settings
[05:35] <frank23>  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:35] <MPC> thanks
[05:36] <thoreauputic> kkathman: hi - sorry I'm lagged at the moment (big download)
[05:36] <kkathman> no prob thoreauputic :)
[05:36] <frank23> endo  search for 855 in quick filter
[05:36] <endo> i did that
[05:36] <endo> im golden
[05:36] <endo> i did
[05:36] <endo> sudo 855.... -l
[05:36] <frank23> ok
[05:36] <endo> now i need to go from here
[05:36] <frank23> can you get the list of video modes?
[05:36] <endo> yes
[05:37] <endo> what should i type now
[05:37] <frank23> is yours there?
[05:37] <endo> nope
[05:37] <endo> they got 1280x1024
[05:38] <endo> they got 1280x801
[05:38] <endo> i guess that is close enuff
[05:38] <endo> what should i do now
[05:38] <frank23> endo close enough will not work ;-)
[05:39] <frank23> follow the instructions in the webpage  but use   kdesu kate /etc/default/855resolution to open the file
[05:39] <frank23> one line:  kdesu kate /etc/default/855resolution
[05:39] <ice_1963> how do i get cdrdao for k3b?
[05:40] <frank23> ice_1963: in adept: enable universe and install it
[05:40] <MPC> frank23:  xorg.conf looks "good"  i.e. Section "Screen"  makes lots of references to 1280x800
[05:41] <ice_1963> can ido it in /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:41] <endo> kate: ERROR: Communication problem with kate, it probably crashed.
[05:41] <MPC> is logoff & re-start X required?
[05:41] <frank23> endo    did you try sudo kate?  that doesn't work
[05:42] <frank23> MPC: I guess, I really don't know
[05:42] <endo> sAME error
[05:42] <MPC> over & out ... <G>
[05:42] <frank23> endo:   open ksysguard (system menu)
[05:42] <ice_1963> good job on kubuntu
[05:42] <kkathman> frank23: people can use kynaptic also to install :)
[05:42] <frank23> endo:  find  kate and kill it
[05:42] <frank23> kkathman: kynaptic is not there by default now
[05:42] <kkathman> frank23: Uhmm.. I beg to differ
[05:43] <kkathman> it was installed on my system when I upgraded
[05:43] <kkathman> I didnt have it before
[05:43] <ice_1963> can i install synaptic in kubuntu?
[05:43] <endo> insufficient permissions to kill
[05:43] <frank23> kkathman: well I don't have kynaptic yet I have kubuntu-dektop
[05:44] <kkathman> hmmm did you install kubuntu or ubuntu originally?
[05:44] <frank23> endo   take note of the process id number  and do sudo kill 2536
[05:44] <frank23> endo  whatever that number is...
[05:44] <kkathman> lol
[05:44] <frank23> ice_1963: yes you can
[05:45] <frank23> kkathman: I think I uninstalled kynaptic after I upgraded to breezy
[05:45] <kkathman>  Ahh ok
[05:45] <kkathman> that makes sense :)
[05:45] <endo> dood i gotta run
[05:45] <endo> peace
[05:45] <frank23> endo ok later
[05:45] <kkathman> I havent gotten the hang of Adept yet...I guess I dont trust it :)
[05:45] <kkathman> Im an apt-get kinda guy :)
[05:45] <frank23> kkathman: yeah I still like synaptic better
[05:46] <frank23> oh
[05:46] <frank23> ;-)
[05:46] <kkathman> old habits die hard I suppose
[05:46] <frank23> I never picked up old habits
[05:46] <frank23> hoary was the first time I used any debian
[05:48] <kkathman> warty was my first time
[05:48] <kkathman> I used Red Hat, Mandrake (a little), and Libranet before
[05:48] <frank23> I used red hat 9 for a while like 2 years ago
[05:49] <kkathman> yah thats what I used too
[05:49] <kkathman> it was so huge and bloated
[05:49] <frank23> and red hat 7 when that was new but ubuntu made me convert to linux
[05:49] <kkathman> I havent tried anything else since I installed ubuntu
[05:50] <kkathman> I heard I should have tried Knoppix 
[05:50] <frank23> kkathman: I tried linspire and opensuse just to see
[05:50] <kkathman> what did you think of linspire?
[05:50] <kkathman> I tried SuSE 4 I think a long time ago
[05:51] <kkathman> or was it 5?  1998 or 1999 or so
[05:51] <kkathman> I had a devil of a time configuring it back then...wouldnt run on a Dell
[05:51] <frank23> its ok...  It's probably the only distribution that can really say that you never need the console. so for some people it might be good. everything runs as root by default though :(
[05:51] <kkathman> linspire?
[05:51] <kkathman> wow
[05:51] <frank23> yeah linspire
[05:52] <kkathman> interesting
[05:52] <kkathman> I personally dont see how people even get by on Linux without the console, and I think its a mistake not learning it
[05:52] <frank23> kkathman: linpire is basically debian but you need to pay to get access to the linpire repos
[05:53] <kkathman> Every certification program stresses console control
[05:53] <kkathman> ahhh that suxors
[05:53] <frank23> kkathman: console will scare away lots of simple desktop users
[05:53] <kkathman> yah I know, so we train a bunch of dummy linux users now that we have dummy windows users :)
[05:54] <frank23> kkathman: the worst is that the dummy linspire users will be as vulnerable to every kind of crap as windows users since they run as root by default
[05:55] <kkathman> exactly!!  People dont realize that an uneducated computer user is a major liability
[05:55] <kkathman> I have a client that paid me $150 to drive over to her home and plug in her printer to the computer
[05:56] <frank23> If linspire was suddenly the target of malware, they would have no choice but to stop the default installs as root
[05:56] <kkathman> whats good about that, is that was the right thing for her to do!
[05:56] <frank23> yeah
[05:57] <Tm_T> hmm
[05:57] <Tm_T> default installs as root?
[05:57] <frank23> yep
[05:57] <Tm_T> you mean no other users, just root?
[05:57] <frank23> Tm_T: by default yes... you get the option to setup users during install though
[05:58] <Tm_T> ok
[05:58] <kkathman> lol
[05:58] <kkathman> I like the way ubuntu does it
[05:58] <Tm_T> that's a big, huge ugly flaw
[05:58] <kkathman> disable the root..good idea for most people actually
[05:58] <Tm_T> kkathman: yup
[05:58] <frank23>  /root  gets filled with all the .files from kde etc
[05:58] <Tm_T> kkathman: and it's soooo easy to enable if you wan't it
[05:59] <kkathman> right
[05:59] <kkathman> but most shouldnt
[05:59] <kkathman> even I dont
[05:59] <kkathman> well...I take that back
[05:59] <kkathman> I enabled it
[05:59] <kkathman> but dont use it
[05:59] <kkathman> only if I am going to be doing alot of admin stuff
[06:00] <frank23> kkathman: how do you enable/disable root anyways?
[06:01] <kkathman> uhmm..prolly not a good thing to put here in the open channel
[06:01] <frank23> kkathman: is it just give a password, then give a random password you forget immediately to disable?
[06:02] <Hobbsee> afternoon all
[06:02] <Hobbsee> oh good!  the howto worked for getting a mouse theme for firefox and thuderbird, rather than the standard black one :D
[06:03] <kkathman> frank23: check your pm
[06:03] <Hobbsee> hi kkathman :)
[06:03] <kkathman> good evening Hobbsee!! How are you tonight :)
[06:04] <Hobbsee> kkathman: happy to not have black cursors while in firefox :D
[06:05] <frank23> Hobbsee: hmm... I still have those black cursors
[06:05] <kkathman> great!!!
[06:05] <Hobbsee> frank23: howto on ubuntuforums.org
[06:05] <kkathman> what black cursors...and where?
[06:05] <Hobbsee> kubuntu section
[06:05] <frank23> ok
[06:05] <Hobbsee> kkathman: what colour are your cursors normally?
[06:05] <kkathman> Hobbsee: Shhhh...we dont wanna promote that
[06:05] <kkathman> in firefox?
[06:05] <kkathman> lemme check
[06:05] <Hobbsee> both firefox and out of it
[06:05] <Hobbsee> why dont we want to promote it, and which dont we want to promote?
[06:06] <kkathman> its a regular black line like most things
[06:06] <Hobbsee> ah ok
[06:06] <Hobbsee> well for those of us who select that we want a white, or some other colour cursor, in firefox it still shows as black
[06:06] <Hobbsee> and now there is a howto that fixes that :D
[06:07] <kkathman> Hobbsee: its probably not a good idea to tell alot of people how to enable root :)
[06:07] <kkathman> OHhhh ok
[06:07] <Hobbsee> kkathman: where did i do that???
[06:07] <Hobbsee> i've said nothing at all about root for a very long time...
[06:09] <kkathman> ohhh I misread :)
[06:10] <kkathman> my bad
[06:10] <kkathman> hehe
[06:10] <regeya_> I shall have to check my logs.  anyone else experiencing random freezes?  as in something that is cataclysmic enough that you cant kill xorg with ctrl-alt-esc?
[06:10] <Hobbsee> kkathman: thought you might have - i use the factoid for root lol...not sure why anyone would bother though
[06:10] <Hobbsee> regeya_: with what  in particular?
[06:11] <frank23> regeya_ no freezes like that here
[06:11] <kkathman> well yah
[06:12] <kkathman> I need new games...the ones that come with KDE and Gnome arent very good :(
[06:12] <regeya_> Hobbsee: I realize 'random freezes' is a bit vague but 'random' is a key word
[06:12] <kkathman> MahJohng is ok
[06:12] <Tm_T> kkathman: jake2 ;)
[06:12] <kkathman> thats a game?
[06:13] <Tm_T> yes
[06:13] <kkathman> what kind?
[06:13] <Tm_T> but...
[06:13] <Hobbsee> regeya_: none here, but that doesnt mean anything lol
[06:13] <Tm_T> it's java port of quake 2
[06:13] <Hobbsee> kkathman: planetpenguin racer?
[06:13] <kkathman> ohhh kewl :)
[06:13] <Tm_T> I find it soooooo good
[06:13] <frank23> kkathman: there is a DDR clone you can play with a keyboard called pydance
[06:13] <kkathman> nice :)
[06:13] <kkathman> planetpenguin?? hehe
[06:13] <frank23> kkathman: you download songs "elsewhere"
[06:14] <kkathman> hehe
[06:14] <Hobbsee> kkathman: yeah, particularly the desperation level
[06:14] <Tm_T> kkathman: other good games: freeciv2
[06:14] <Hobbsee> friend of mine on windows loves playing tuxracer - i didnt have breezy on the computer at the time
[06:14] <kkathman> I have civ2 on my Winbox...and Rome-TotalWar....very good
[06:15] <kkathman> Tm_T: I wonder if I have java working
[06:15] <kkathman> it was on my hoary so I wonder if it got upgraded
[06:15] <Hobbsee> kkathman: java -version
[06:15] <kkathman> 1.4.2
[06:15] <Hobbsee> hmmm...should try freciv
[06:16] <Hobbsee> it's upto 1.5 now
[06:16] <Hobbsee> !javadeb
[06:16] <ubotu> [javadeb]  for sun java debs packaged for ubuntu, Install from http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy)
[06:16] <kkathman> wonder what happens to my 1.4.2 if I install 1.5?
[06:17] <frank23> kkathman: it stays there I think  you use  sudo update-alternatives --config java  to choose   the one you use
[06:18] <kkathman> ahh ok
[06:18] <kkathman> i went through some hellacious procedure to install java SDK before under hoary
[06:19] <kkathman> does freeciv2 use java or not?
[06:19] <Hobbsee> kkathman: grabbing the deb is way easier lol..but i remember doing that too
[06:20] <kkathman> yeah I can imagine Hobbsee 
[06:20] <frank23> how do you use a new cursor theme in kde after you download it?
[06:22] <kkathman> frank23: thats a great question!! I have never known how to do that or load themes
[06:22] <Hobbsee> where'd you get the cursor theme from?
[06:23] <Hobbsee> system settings, mouse, install new cursor theme
[06:23] <kkathman> you can get them from alot of places Hobbsee ... kde-look.org is one
[06:23] <Hobbsee> yeah, if it's kde-look, there are usually instructions
[06:23] <frank23> Hobbsee: from kde-look.   
[06:23] <Hobbsee> yeah, pick the locatoin of the theme, and it should be done
[06:23] <frank23> some sources came with the cursors
[06:24] <Hobbsee> frank23: system settings, mouse, cursor themes tab, install new cursor theme, point to location of downloaded theme
[06:24] <kkathman> ok where do I get freeciv2?? apt-cache doesnt find it :(
[06:25] <Hobbsee> looks like freeciv is there
[06:25] <Hobbsee> but that may not be the same thing
[06:25] <frank23> Hobbsee: that's what I'm doing but do I have to compile the theme somehow?
[06:25] <Hobbsee> frank23: hopefully not, try with the location of the theme
[06:26] <kkathman> ahh it requires java :(
[06:26] <kkathman> ugh
[06:27] <kkathman> freeciv is a transitional dummy package :(
[06:27] <frank23> Hobbsee: is the theme supposed to be one file only? or a directory?
[06:27] <Hobbsee> frank23: probably a directory...could be one file
[06:27] <Hobbsee> checking kdelook
[06:28] <frank23> trying to install http://kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=19506
[06:29] <Hobbsee> frank23: you can pick the archive file, ie you dont have to extract it
[06:29] <Hobbsee> frank23: and you'd want the first link - doesnt look like you need the source
[06:30] <frank23> Hobbsee: oh....
[06:30] <Hobbsee> frank23: unless you plan on changing it...
[06:31] <Hobbsee> nice cursors
[06:31] <frank23> still doesn't work... I must be doing something stupid...
[06:32] <Hobbsee> frank23: click on that
[06:32] <Hobbsee> http://kde-look.org/content/download.php?content=19506&id=1
[06:32] <Hobbsee> if it asks, save to disk
[06:32] <frank23> Hobbsee: ok
[06:32] <kkathman> so you save them then you go to the system settings?
[06:33] <Hobbsee> frank23: Open the Control Centre
[06:33] <Hobbsee> frank23: Open Peripherals -> Mouse
[06:33] <frank23> that's what I did before
[06:33] <Hobbsee> frank23: Click the Cusor Theme tab
[06:33] <Hobbsee> frank23: Click Install New Theme...
[06:33] <kkathman> control centre?
[06:33] <Hobbsee> system settings
[06:33] <Hobbsee> used to be control centre
[06:34] <Hobbsee> Select the cursor theme archive
[06:34] <Hobbsee> frank23: Select the cursor theme archive
[06:34] <Hobbsee> frank23: Restart KDE
[06:34] <frank23> I choose the tar.bz2 file and it gives me The file 19506-pinux's-tux-cursors-theme-0.3-cur.tar.bz2 does not appear to be a valid cursor theme archive
[06:34] <Hobbsee> ah...assuming you got it installed correctly, i'll bet you didnt restart kde
[06:35] <kkathman> yah this is where I couldnt get past too frank23 
[06:35] <frank23> same thing with the index.theme files inside the archive
[06:35] <kkathman> I guess you have to tar something or other
[06:36] <frank23> and the ./Build.sh  scripts  give me errors
[06:36] <kkathman> I think its tar xvjf
[06:36] <Hobbsee> darn!
[06:36] <frank23> I know how to extract tars
[06:36] <kkathman> I always forget which options are for bz2s and which are for gz
[06:36] <frank23> ok.. well I'l try to figure it out with another cursor package
[06:36] <Hobbsee> i wonder if the quick and dirty method works...
[06:37] <frank23> kkathman: j for bz2 and z for gz
[06:38] <Hobbsee> ah...let us see...
[06:38] <kkathman> shows how much I do that :)
[06:38] <kkathman> hehe
[06:38] <Hobbsee> back in a sec...
[06:38] <Hobbsee> testing if this works...
[06:40] <Hobbsee> darn, that's a pain
[06:40] <frank23> Hobbsee: I found how
[06:40] <Hobbsee> got another idea though...
[06:40] <Hobbsee> :D
[06:40] <Hobbsee> ah ha!
[06:40] <frank23> copy cursors directory to  .icons/pinux/
[06:40] <Hobbsee> you can stick it in 
[06:40] <Hobbsee> yep
[06:40] <Hobbsee> which is precisely what i just tried lol
[06:41] <frank23> Hobbsee: hmm.. still doesn't work
[06:41] <Hobbsee> frank23: then restart kde?
[06:41] <Hobbsee> frank23: then go in and select the theme
[06:42] <frank23> Hobbsee: now I got it!
[06:42] <Hobbsee> :D
[06:43] <Hobbsee> did you want to copy that theme, so it's used in firefox and thunderbird too?
[06:43] <frank23> Hobbsee: the howto shows how to do this I think
[06:44] <Hobbsee> yeah, it does
[06:44] <Hobbsee> in short, copy the two files (ie index and cursor folder) to ~/.icons/default
[06:44] <frank23> Hobbsee: ok thanks ;-)
[06:44] <frank23> all this for stupid cursors! lol
[06:45] <Hobbsee> hehe
[06:45] <Hobbsee> it wont be so difficult next time as you'll know how to do it
[06:45] <Hobbsee> more difficult seems to be changing the kdm theme - it never works when i try, so i gave up
[06:45] <Hobbsee> and the breezy one is nicer than the hoary one, anywya
[06:55] <azertyuuu> hey all, if i use Adept to install packages, it downloads always from Belgian websites (be.archive.kubuntu) , and usually, i get error that some files aren't found. Can i change the location 
[06:55] <Hobbsee> azertyuuu: sure, kdesu kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:56] <Hobbsee> azertyuuu: then change it from there
[06:56] <kkathman> Hobbsee: what is kdesu?
[06:56] <azertyuuu> and do you know good servers 
[06:56] <Hobbsee> !kdesu
[06:56] <ubotu> Use kdesu to run applications with root priveleges, when you have to. Do *not* do sudo {GUIAPP}; you can muck up your permissions and the config files.
[06:56] <kkathman> ahh
[06:56] <Hobbsee> kkathman: i keep getting told off for it lol
[06:56] <Hobbsee> !mirrors
[06:56] <ubotu> methinks mirrors is repository mirrors can be found through http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[06:56] <frank23> azertyuuu: I use canada (ca)  
[06:56] <Hobbsee> !tell azertyuuu about mirrors
[06:56] <kkathman> I always use sudo gedit
[06:56] <frank23> azertyuuu: I never had problems with them
[06:57] <kkathman> force of habit
[06:57] <Hobbsee> yeah, but that assumes you have gnome
[06:57] <kkathman> yah true
[06:57] <kkathman> I do
[06:57] <Hobbsee> i use the au mirrors here, as that's where i am
[06:57] <kkathman> cuz I dont like NOT having a backup GUI
[06:57] <Hobbsee> heh
[06:58] <Hobbsee> who needs a backup GUI?  there's a console
[06:58] <Hobbsee> if you really get stuck, you can just install an extra GUI from there...
[06:58] <dmlinux> Hey guys, anyone here a amaroK expert?
[06:58] <kkathman> LOL 
[06:58] <Hobbsee> dmlinux: no, but no one will have a chance of answering till you ask
[06:59] <dmlinux> On amaroK my window the the left with all the suggested songs, and ratings and stuff dissappeared, anyon eknow the hot key to bring it back up
[06:59] <Hobbsee> dmlinux: do you have amarok in the tray?
[07:00] <kkathman> Hobbsee: you mean the alt 1, alt 2 etc?
[07:00] <dmlinux> Hobbsee yes i have the window open atm
[07:00] <kkathman> or the virtual desktops?
[07:00] <Hobbsee> kkathman: virtual desktops
[07:00] <kkathman> Yah I have 8 of them
[07:00] <Hobbsee> kkathman: the nice things with scrolling black text lol
[07:00] <Hobbsee> ah, no, not that
[07:00] <Hobbsee> i meant virtual consoles, sorry
[07:00] <Hobbsee> the ones without the GUI
[07:00] <kkathman> ahh so the alt-1 alt-2 thing
[07:01] <kkathman> why dont you just use Konsole 
[07:01] <Hobbsee> i do sometimes
[07:01] <kkathman> you can have multiples of those
[07:01] <Hobbsee> it's quicker to hit the hotkey than to fire up a console
[07:01] <kkathman> I keep a Konsole always up in my #1 virtual desktop
[07:01] <Hobbsee> esp if my fingers are already on the keys and not the touchpad
[07:02] <dmlinux> anyone know how to get the window up in amarok that tells me ratings, and has the album art , and other info up
[07:02] <Hobbsee> dmlinux: is it somewhere in the options menu?
[07:02] <dmlinux> hobbsee i dont see it
[07:02] <frank23> does anyone have files disappearing from the amrok playlist after you double click them?
[07:02] <kkathman> like I said, keep one up on your virt desktop...its scrollable :)
[07:02] <Hobbsee> *settings, configure amarok
[07:02] <Hobbsee> kkathman: that is true
[07:02] <dmlinux> hobsee awe crap found it
[07:02] <dmlinux> hobbsee thanks lol im an ijiot
[07:02] <Hobbsee> :P
[07:02] <Hobbsee> dont worry, all of us have idiot questions at some point
[07:02] <dmlinux> thanks all :)
[07:03] <dmlinux> im a gnome user :( so
[07:03] <kkathman> I dont know if there is a hotkey that switches between virtual desktops
[07:03] <dmlinux> i like the bar on top and bar on bottom , thats the only reason i still use GNOME
[07:03] <dmlinux> i have KDE stuff floating on memory, 
[07:03] <azertyuuu> this is the best repository i guess http://archive.ubuntu.com
[07:03] <azertyuuu> not ?
[07:03] <Hobbsee> kkathman: there is if you set one :P
[07:04] <dmlinux> back to #ubuntu  :)
[07:04] <Hobbsee> lol
[07:04] <frank23> dmlinux: you can put bars where you want in kde too
[07:04] <frank23> too late
[07:04] <Hobbsee> i cant stand having two bars
[07:04] <sampan> me either
[07:05] <azertyuuu> this is the best repository i guess http://archive.ubuntu.com
[07:05] <Hobbsee> and the stuff all doesnt fit on one, in gnome, i find
[07:05] <sampan> i -hate- that about gnome
[07:05] <kkathman> Shoot Ive been working in KDE too long...I forget all those command line things AHHHH!!!
[07:05] <Hobbsee> kkathman: LOL
[07:05] <Hobbsee> kkathman: you only need to know some of them
[07:05] <Hobbsee> azertyuuu: yeah, most people will use that
[07:05] <kkathman> fortunately I have my trusty Linux Bible right here!!
[07:05] <frank23> what made me switch to kde was that I hated nautilus though
[07:05] <sampan> is the us.archive still down?
[07:06] <azertyuuu> so is replace http://be.archive.ubuntu.com with http://archive.ubuntu.com
[07:06] <Hobbsee> kkathman: hehe
[07:06] <azertyuuu> can i do that ?
[07:07] <frank23> azertyuuu: yes
[07:07] <frank23> or switch to another country
[07:07] <kkathman> Hobbsee: Does Ubuntu use the standard ctrl-alt-F1, F2 etc for the virtual consoles?
[07:07] <Hobbsee> yuck...artsd is chugging today on my machine!  must fix that!
[07:07] <Hobbsee> yes
[07:07] <Hobbsee> well, does here, and i havent changed the defaults mostly
[07:08] <frank23> kkathman: yes
[07:08] <kkathman> Hobbsee: i thought you were running the beta2
[07:08] <kkathman> frank23: so is there a quick hotkey that will move between virtual desktops in KDE then?
[07:09] <frank23> kkathman: win+f1 , f2....
[07:09] <frank23> but my shortcuts may not be standard
[07:10] <kkathman> yah its not standard :)
[07:10] <frank23> anybody knows what the key next to the right win key does? I never got it...
[07:10] <azertyuuu> THANX ALL 
[07:10] <kkathman> standard is Ctrl-F1, F2
[07:10] <azertyuuu> kubuntu updates without probs now
[07:12] <stbain> greetings all
[07:12] <Hobbsee> well that was a little inconvenient!
[07:12] <kkathman> Hobbsee:  what?
[07:12] <Hobbsee> kkathman: i was running beta2, then reinstalled as it was very unstable
[07:13] <kkathman> yah... mistake for sure
[07:13] <kkathman> I think it was premature to release that
[07:13] <Hobbsee> well, amarok wasnt really playing correctly, tried changing some settings in system settings, machine locked up, including virtual terminals, had to hit power button
[07:13] <Hobbsee> yeah, which is odd
[07:13] <Hobbsee> beta 1 gave most people no problems at all
[07:13] <kkathman> Hobbsee: beta2 has all kinds of problems with artsd
[07:13] <Hobbsee> yeah, i know...
[07:14] <stbain> is anyone else getting an error trying to apt-get update where us.archive.ubuntu.com resolves to 0.0.32.144?
[07:14] <Hobbsee> it took ages for someone to tell me how to get rid of it!
[07:14] <kkathman> get rid of artsd?
[07:14] <kkathman> lol
[07:14] <azertyuuu> stbain, i use archive.ubuntu.com
[07:14] <kkathman> I had an interesting question today....can you uninstall Open Office?? Cuz I dont think you can
[07:15] <kkathman> it prompts to uninstall kubuntu-desktop!
[07:15] <azertyuuu> stbain, try this kdesu kwrite /etc/apt/sources.list   and remove the "us" before "archive.ubuntu.com"
[07:15] <kkathman> my us archives seem to work fine
[07:15] <kkathman> but I dont know for sure I guess
[07:15] <stbain> Odd.... check it out: Cannot initiate the connection to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (0.0.32.144)
[07:16] <stbain> same error for us.archive.ubuntu.com
[07:16] <azertyuuu> don't know
[07:16] <frank23> kkathman: uninstalling kubuntu-desktop is not the end of the world (although you should have it in for a dist-upgrade)
[07:16] <frank23> stbain: that is not the right IP for sure
[07:16] <kkathman> yah my us archives are working fine...just checked
[07:16] <sampan> stbain, sounds like a dns problem with your isp
[07:16] <stbain> ping us.archive.ubuntu.com gives me "connect: Invalid argument"
[07:17] <stbain> heh
[07:17] <kkathman> frank23: OH I know
[07:17] <sampan> i get 22:  caesar.acc.umu.se (130.239.18.142)  when i tracepath to us.archive.ubuntu.com
[07:17] <kkathman> I just though it odd that you cant remove Open Office1 or 2
[07:17] <stbain> heh... check out the A record from dig: us.archive.ubuntu.com.  10000   IN      A       0.0.32.144
[07:18] <frank23> kkathman: in breezy openoffice1 is not in kubuntu-desktop though
[07:18] <stbain> dang... I was soooo looking forward to using Kubuntu for work in the morning (first time installing it)
[07:18] <Tm_T> frank23: why you need openoffice1 ?
[07:18] <frank23> Tm_T: I don't
[07:18] <Tm_T> ok
[07:18] <Tm_T> then remove it
[07:19] <regeya> no joke.  openoffice2 is a definite improvement
[07:19] <frank23> Tm_T: I did
[07:19] <azertyuuu> hey all, i heard that OOo 2 final is out, and i want it. Do i have to remove the standard version (beta) first and download the newest with adept or what ?
[07:20] <Tm_T> azertyuuu: I don't think adept has it yet
[07:20] <frank23> azertyuuu: it will eventually be in breezy-backports... until then I'm not sure what is the best way to install
[07:20] <azertyuuu> ok 
[07:21] <aaronjs> well....  3rd attempt to install kubuntu on my server...  Keeps failing.   The log it tells me to check does not exist.   The disk checks out as being good. I've used the same disk in teh same drive to install on the other systems.  The system is a dual athlon ASUS mobo.
[07:22] <aaronjs> doh.  Hobbsee you  missed my question.  lol
[07:22] <kkathman> frank23: well remember I upgraded from hoary, which had OO1...so now I have both :(
[07:22] <Hobbsee> *sigh*
[07:22] <frank23> kkathman: I did too but you can remove OO1 now
[07:22] <Hobbsee> aaronjs: sorry, what?  what'd i miss?
[07:22] <aaronjs> well....  3rd attempt to install kubuntu on my server...  Keeps failing.   The log it tells me to check does not exist.   The disk checks out as being good. I've used the same disk in teh same drive to install on the other systems.  The system is a dual athlon ASUS mobo.
[07:23] <Hobbsee> every once in a while system settings will crash in trying to change the sound, then it goes away - never found out why
[07:23] <Hobbsee> hence the crash
[07:23] <Hobbsee> es
[07:23] <aaronjs> disable the sound then?
[07:23] <kkathman> frank23: how can you remove it...when you try, it wants to delete oo2
[07:23] <aaronjs> until after install, Hobbsee?
[07:23] <kkathman> I mean kubuntu
[07:23] <Hobbsee> aaronjs: sorry, i was meaning that was why i went awol, and had to reboot
[07:24] <aaronjs> ah
[07:24] <stbain> hrmmm... I'm not sure, but I think my fresh kubuntu install has some networking issues. It's resolving ubuntu.com addresses to 0.0.32.144. Perhaps I need to disable IPv6 or something?
[07:24] <Hobbsee> aaronjs: where and why does it fail?
[07:25] <Hobbsee> hehe...someone in ubuntu saying that xkill isnt graphical
[07:25] <aaronjs> Hobbsee: during the install of the base system.   on the third try, it is getting further.   it asked me which kernel I wanted to instal.  I'm begining to think it doesn't know what to do with the smp.
[07:25] <Hobbsee> well, it's point and click, that would make it graphical wouldnt it?
[07:26] <kkathman> lol
[07:27] <frank23> kkathman: you can remove the openoffice.org packages except openoffice.org-debian-files
[07:27] <aaronjs> well... xkill isn't the most polished graphically...   
[07:27] <Hobbsee> with the smp?
[07:27] <kkathman> Hobbsee: so do you know how to remove OOffice1 ?
[07:27] <kkathman> frank23: says you can
[07:27] <kkathman> but I dunno
[07:28] <Hobbsee> it's still more graphical than killall whatever, or top
[07:28] <Hobbsee> kkathman: sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org
[07:28] <kkathman> Hobbsee: when you do that, it will want to remove kubuntu-desktop
[07:28] <Hobbsee> kkathman: you can do that, it's a metapackage
[07:28] <azertyuuu> is it also possible with  "dpkg -r O..."  ?
[07:28] <kkathman> thats what I keep saying :)
[07:29] <Hobbsee> um...probably possible, but more painful
[07:29] <Kamping_Kaiser> hi Hobbsee
[07:29] <frank23> kkathman: what version of kubuntu-desktop do you have?
[07:30] <aftertaf> hi all
[07:30] <Hobbsee> frank23: hoary, clearly
[07:30] <frank23> kkathman: openoffice.org is now in universe. it should not be needed
[07:30] <kkathman> hmmm I wonder why my console doesnt have colors anymore..thats something I just noticed
[07:30] <Hobbsee> hi aftertaf :D
[07:30] <Hobbsee> hi Kamping_Kaiser :D
[07:30] <kkathman> hey aftertaf :)
[07:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> hi aftertaf :)
[07:30] <aftertaf> hi everyone :)
[07:30] <kkathman> I dont need it :)
[07:30] <kkathman> hehe
[07:30] <Hobbsee> konsole having colours?
[07:30] <aftertaf> what a wonderful welcome......
[07:30] <Hobbsee> hmmm...i like that idea
[07:30] <Hobbsee> hehe
[07:31] <kkathman> Hobbsee: yah... ya know...blues and greens
[07:31] <Hobbsee> you're obviously here enough that you're recognised
[07:31] <aftertaf> hehe
[07:31] <Hobbsee> kkathman: ooh pretty...maybe i'll have to do that with my virtual terminals
[07:31] <kkathman> was that way in hoary but not now :(
[07:31] <Hobbsee> kkathman: hang on, which are you running?
[07:31] <Hobbsee> hoary or breezy?
[07:31] <kkathman> breezy
[07:32] <Hobbsee> which did you want to remove?
[07:32] <Hobbsee> open office 1 or 2?
[07:32] <kkathman> I remember vaguely there is a colors file somewhere that shows symlinks in a color, and functions in another.etc
[07:32] <kkathman> Hobbsee: I want to get rid of OO1...cuz I have Koffice and OO2
[07:32] <Hobbsee> kkathman: then sudo apt-get remove openoffice.org
[07:32] <Hobbsee> kkathman: nice, i'll go look for it
[07:32] <Hobbsee> later
[07:33] <kkathman> I miss my colors in my Konsole :(
[07:33] <sampan> the upgrade nuked them?
[07:33] <kkathman> yah
[07:33] <sampan> can you get them back by settings --> schema ?
[07:34] <kkathman> nah..I mean in the Konsole
[07:34] <sampan> my konsole is colorized, so you should be able to get them back
[07:34] <kkathman> or Console
[07:34] <kkathman> yah I
[07:34] <kkathman> I would think so...but I gotta figure out how
[07:34] <sampan> or do you mean the virtual console?  or the app?
[07:35] <Hobbsee> oh..
[07:35] <sampan> my konsole app is colorized, but i dunno about the virtual-consoles ... i never use them since i run irssi in konsole and just have a couple extra konsole tabs behind it
[07:36] <Hobbsee> ooh pretty
[07:36] <Hobbsee> pity i just made mine unreadable lol
[07:36] <sampan> lol hate it when that happens
[07:36] <aaronjs> not sure how kubuntu works, but if you loose colorized output, sounds like the skel for the master user might need to be copied over to the user that lost the color.
[07:37] <kkathman> sampan: I dont even have colors in my Konsole, or in the virtual consoles either
[07:37] <Hobbsee> very pretty :D
[07:37] <aaronjs> isn't that stuff in .bash_rc or .profile or something (depending on dist)
[07:37] <Hobbsee> i'd love all the different commands in different colours, like ls does...
[07:38] <sampan> kkathman, hrmmmm ... that's not good  :(   some file get misplaced in the upgrade?
[07:39] <sampan> aaronjs  forgive an uber-noob question, but what is "skel"?  
[07:40] <kkathman> yah I dunno
[07:40] <kkathman> there is some file that must be missing
[07:40] <kkathman> this is like a thing with me now... I must fix this!
[07:40] <Hobbsee> hehe
[07:41] <Hobbsee> kkathman has decided!
[07:41] <aaronjs> sampan: the skeleton/foundation for creating the structure of a users home directory (or anythign for that matter)
[07:41] <sampan> well my .bashrc does have lines for formatting color output (ls command)
[07:41] <sampan> ahhh, thanks aaronjs 
[07:41] <aaronjs> sampan: as well, it should. :)
[07:42] <aaronjs> sampan: you can look for files of custom ones on the net, and get _really_ crazy.
[07:43] <sampan> lol i'm sure there are some funky ones out there
[07:43] <kkathman> hmmm Hobbsee I think its a bashrc issue
[07:43] <Hobbsee> right
[07:44] <aaronjs> kkathman: just have someone query you and paste their bashrc
[07:44] <aaronjs> , or pull it from svn/cvs... whatever Ubuntu uses.
[07:45] <aaronjs> ooops...
[07:45] <aaronjs> whatever kubuntu uses.
[07:46] <aaronjs> kkathman: did it work?
[07:46] <aaronjs> kkathman: I imagine you will have to source .bashrc in order to get it to reload it. :)
[07:47] <kkathman> where is .bashrc  in etc?
[07:47] <aaronjs> kkathman: do a ls -la in your ~ (home) dir.
[07:47] <kkathman> ahh stupid me...of course!!
[07:48] <aaronjs> kkathman: no, not stupid.
[07:48] <aaronjs> kkathman: if it wasn't htere, I believe you would default to the one in /usr/share or something...
[07:48] <aaronjs> so, you are right.
[07:48] <aaronjs> there exists elsewhere the same file
[07:49] <aaronjs> <usually coppied as part of teh skeleton for a new user setup>
[07:49] <aaronjs> do a sudo locate -u and then type locate .bashrc and you'll find out really quick where they all are. ;)
[07:53] <aaronjs> kkathman: perhaps you could sudo cp /etc/skel/.bashrc to your home directory.
[07:53] <kkathman> aaronjs: in my bashrc the color=auto wasnt set for ls...so I changed that. But I need to somehow logout and log back in
[07:53] <aaronjs> kkathman: nope
[07:53] <kkathman> no?
[07:53] <aaronjs> source .bashrc
[07:53] <kkathman> ahhh
[07:54] <aaronjs> see if that works 
[07:54] <aaronjs> if not, close the console, and open it back up.
[07:54] <aaronjs> it should source each time you start it.
[07:54] <aaronjs> "konsole" I assume.
[07:54] <kkathman> BINGO
[07:54] <sampan> colorized!
[07:54] <aaronjs> woooooooooo whooooooooo.
[07:54] <sampan> color kkathman tickled pink!
[07:54] <aaronjs> kkathman: no you can go to bed. :)
[07:54] <Hobbsee> lol
[07:54] <aaronjs> no/ now
[07:54] <Hobbsee> screenshot?
[07:55] <kkathman> lol
[07:55] <sampan> lol hobbsee
[07:55] <Hobbsee> i want to see what it looks like lol
[07:55] <aaronjs> 4th try is a charm. :)
[07:55] <Hobbsee> aaronjs: yay!
[07:55] <Hobbsee> it is
[07:56] <aaronjs> Hobbsee: don't let people complain about not being able to install, unless they can prove they burnt their cd at sane speeds. lol
[07:56] <Hobbsee> hehe
[07:56] <DaSkreech> Anyone plays with OO Base?
[07:56] <DaSkreech> Or has it? :)
[07:56] <Hobbsee> i've only ever had an install die once
[07:56] <Hobbsee> i've got oo.o2 base
[07:57] <DaSkreech> I need to test something funky I'me seeing
[07:57] <Hobbsee> sure
[07:57] <aaronjs> kkathman: if you are really retentive on the colors, check out /usr/share/doc/adduser/examples/adduser.local.conf.examples/bash.bashrc or surf the net for some addition "blinging" color files.
[07:57] <DaSkreech> Hobbsee: Open any database that has a field with repeated data
[07:57] <Hobbsee> um...i dont have one on here...
[07:58] <Hobbsee> a link to one?
[07:58] <DaSkreech> Just make one with one field 
[07:58] <aaronjs> Hobbsee: just make one.   lol   5 seconds or so.  :)
[07:58] <Hobbsee> actually, maybe i do from last year...
[07:58] <DaSkreech> and enter the same thign on two rows
[07:58] <DaSkreech> thing
[07:59] <DaSkreech> Then do a SELECT "FieldName" FROM "Table"
[07:59] <Hobbsee> um...attempting to input data...
[08:00] <Hobbsee> eek, now you've lost me lol
[08:00] <kkathman> aaronjs: now thats quite a file!!
[08:00] <Hobbsee> i've deliberately forgotten all of the access stuff
[08:00] <DaSkreech> :-)
[08:00] <DaSkreech> ok You are on Tables?
[08:00] <kkathman> I dont particularly like the purple
[08:00] <DaSkreech> and put the same data on two rows?
[08:00] <Hobbsee> way lost...
[08:00] <kkathman> but I dont think you can set the colors per se
[08:01] <DaSkreech> Hobbsee: Where are you?
[08:01] <DaSkreech> Oh
[08:01] <DaSkreech> That lost :(
[08:02] <kkathman> aaronjs: do you know if you can set those colors differently?
[08:03] <strike4ce> How Do I set firefox as my default browser?
[08:03] <DaSkreech> What just happened?
[08:04] <strike4ce> How Do I set firefox as my default browser?
[08:04] <aaronjs> DaSkreech: probably a server split
[08:05] <strike4ce> net split
[08:05] <DaSkreech> well that kicked a lot of people
[08:05] <aaronjs> heh, what strike4ce said..  lol
[08:05] <aaronjs> DaSkreech: the'll be back.
[08:06] <DaSkreech> OK thats fine then
[08:06] <kkathman> every one still here?
[08:06] <DaSkreech> naolith got kicked 
[08:06] <DaSkreech> and about 20 other people are presumed missing :-)
[08:07] <kkathman> oh now this is weird
[08:08] <DaSkreech> does anyone else have base and was following what I was saying?
[08:08] <Kinomees> how to exec Realplayers *.bin file ?
[08:08] <DaSkreech> Try mplayer?
[08:12] <strike4ce> How Do I set firefox as my default browser?
[08:12] <Kinomees> i have a *.bin file
[08:12] <strike4ce> How Do I set firefox as my default browser?
[08:12] <Kinomees> should be a linux installer or smth

[08:16] <elementarmy> can someone help with a dsl prob?
[08:17] <elementarmy> of
[08:17] <aaronjs> heh....  gooooooooooo  Freaknode.
[08:30] <mcquaid> hello is there a qt/kde app simliar to gnome's gok?  a program so you can see a keyboard overlay and 'type' with the mouse
[08:32] <kkathman> back
[08:32] <kkathman> Major internet outage here
[08:33] <kkathman> anyone here?
[08:33] <Tm_T> kkathman: no
[08:33] <kkathman> you funny guy you
[08:34] <Tm_T> kkathman: you have noticed messages in your status window?
[08:34] <Tm_T> kkathman: explains that traffic
[08:34] <kkathman> nope
[08:34] <kkathman> ??
[08:34] <kinfo> what?
[08:34] <Tm_T> about freenode and routing issues
[08:35] <kkathman> oh yeah
[08:35] <kkathman> well, for me it was an internet problem
[08:35] <Tm_T> :)
[08:35] <kkathman> southwest
[08:35] <kkathman> all of my computers went down
[08:35] <kkathman> so it wasnt just freenode
[08:35] <kkathman> no internet nothing !
[08:36] <gdiebel> kkathman, yeah weird internet stuff going on now. google wasn't working for me for about half hour!
[08:36] <kkathman> was back up in about 15 minutes
[08:36] <Tm_T> gdiebel: yup, or try use bugs.kde.org
[08:36] <kkathman> I suspect it was a simple matter of Tm_T trying to take the whole American internet down
[08:37] <Tm_T> no
[08:37] <Tm_T> kkathman: global issues here
[08:37] <kkathman> hes so quiet over there...you just wonder what he's up to
[08:37] <Tm_T> kkathman: america is just a small part of it
[08:37] <thoreauputic> it's about a dispute between level3 and cogent I believe - peering arrangements
[08:38] <Tm_T> yu
[08:38] <Tm_T> thoreauputic: no, don't blame me about it
[08:38] <kkathman> thoreauputic: well Southern US has a massive internet outage too
[08:38] <thoreauputic> Tm_T: ? you work for them?
[08:38] <Tm_T> thoreauputic: no, I work for me
[08:38] <kkathman> ahh he's a mercenary
[08:39] <Tm_T> hmh, what switch or lever I pull down next
[08:39] <kkathman> just curious..is there a way in Konversation that it could automatically identify me when I log in?
[08:39] <sampan> pull the one that says to upgrade my connection speed to 3megs down and 768 up
[08:39] <Tm_T> one ... two ... sixteen... apple
[08:39] <sampan> :X
[08:39] <thoreauputic> Tm_T: just push the big red button on the left ;-)
[08:39] <kkathman> I know you can do that in mIRC
[08:40] <Tm_T> thoreauputic: it's for netsplit in ircnet
[08:41] <sampan> kkathman  if you 'edit' the connection to freenode in konversation, there's a line for "commands"
[08:41] <sampan> i'd imagine if you put the /msg nickserv identify command in there, it would do the trick ?
[08:42] <sampan> not sure how konversation command syntax is (i use irssi), but probably pretty simple
[08:42] <kkathman> I also set up an alias
[08:42] <aftertaf> kkathman:  i think there is a chan or nickserv password zone where you can put your password
[08:42] <kkathman> man Im so spoiled from using mIRC
[08:43] <kkathman> nickserv aftertaf 
[08:43] <Tm_T> :(
[08:43] <Tm_T> mIRC is pain
[08:43] <kkathman> its a /msg nickserv identify <password>
[08:43] <Tm_T> never liked it
[08:43] <kkathman> I love mIRC
[08:43] <sampan> mirc has a lot of features, but i really much prefer irssi's all text console
[08:43] <kkathman> so easy to use and VERY customizable
[08:43] <Tm_T> sampan: what features?
[08:44] <kkathman> Im going to log out and back in here and see if that server command works sampan
[08:44] <kkathman> brb
[08:44] <sampan> tm_t, it's really configurable, and easily so -- colors, sizes, fonts of individual windows, etc.  it does mp3 sound requests -- lots of things
[08:44] <kkathman> seems to have worked
[08:44] <Tm_T> sampan: I can't imagine anything what is needed and can't be done in irssi too
[08:45] <kkathman> Konversation isnt that bad at all
[08:45] <sampan> tm_t, most things i'm sure -- just a question of how many scripts and stuff you wanna load.  i don't miss mirc much, but it's a very easy to use irc client
[08:45] <kkathman> I used to op on several channels so mIRC makes that so easy
[08:45] <Kinomees> ok ... why do i need package "locales" ?
[08:46] <sampan> like i said, i'm happy to have switched to irssi -- it's a great irc client -- but it took me about 2 weeks to customize the config file so that it looked nice to me
[08:48] <Tm_T> sampan: scripts? why I should load any scripts
[08:48] <sampan> kkathman  is konversation irc only? or is it one of those multiple protocol messengers?  
[08:48] <kkathman> sampan: I looked at irssi and thought it customizable but you had to work at it...shouldnt take 2 weeks :)
[08:48] <sampan> tm_t, well because without them you can't open up a url in irssi 
[08:48] <kkathman> sampan: Konversation I think is ONLY IRC
[08:48] <Tm_T> sampan: why should you, it's console app
[08:49] <Tm_T> kkathman: it is
[08:49] <sampan> tm_t, because often people post interesting links and cutting/pasting is kinda a pain
[08:49] <sampan> that's going back to using a mouse -- and avoiding that is part of the whole point in having a text-only irc client
[08:49] <Tm_T> sampan: err, your terminal can do that for you
[08:50] <strike4ce> What is the command to dpkg from desktop?
[08:50] <sampan> i can't find a way to scroll up into the channel or msg text to copy/paste text without using a mouse
[08:50] <strike4ce> anyone?
[08:50] <kkathman> from desktop?? you mean console?
[08:50] <sampan> strike4ce  sudo dpkg -i nameoffile.deb  
[08:50] <Tm_T> sampan: hmm, page up/page down
[08:51] <kkathman> strike4ce: dpkg -i <package name>
[08:51] <sampan> tm_t, that only scrolls the text itself, -- it doesn't let me select a specific bit of text to copy 
[08:51] <sampan> my cursor is still stuck on the base line
[08:51] <Tm_T> sampan: ...
[08:51] <Tm_T> ok
[08:52] <Tm_T> I still don't see your point, but I don't mind :)
[08:52] <Tm_T> you find that as a lack, ok
[08:52] <kkathman> what time is it there Tm_T ?? around 9 or 10am?
[08:52] <Tm_T> almost 10
[08:52] <DaSkreech> 1:52 am
[08:52] <kkathman> yah here too DaSkreech 
[08:53] <sampan> tm_t, i find not being able to open a url in channel/msg without using a mouse to be a lack -- yes -- so there's a very nice script that i load that lets me just type: /openurl #  and it opens it in my browser
[08:53] <sampan> you asked why i load scripts -- that's one reason why :)
[08:53] <kkathman> sampan: you dont like using a mouse?
[08:54] <sampan> kkathman, not if it's a console app ... it takes a long time to take hands off keys, move to mouse, select text (esp if it's moving fast in a chan of 100+ people) and then paste into browser
[08:54] <sampan> much faster to type /openurl # 
[08:54] <kkathman> ahh see when you get older and cant remember all the commands, a mouse is nice :)
[08:55] <Tm_T> :p
[08:55] <sampan> it's really only for irc that i hate gui
[08:55] <Tm_T> older like me or kkathman here
[08:55] <sampan> it's a text medium, so my typing is faster than mousing i guess
[08:55] <kkathman> I might pull one of my linux boxes off and put Knoppix on it for grins
[08:55] <kkathman> Im the old one Tm_T  :)
[08:55] <Tm_T> kkathman: and I'm not?!
[08:55] <kkathman> no your not
[08:55] <kkathman> haha
[08:56] <Tm_T> sampan: well, to me those urls are less important
[08:56] <sampan> tm_t, yeah -- i gathered that :)  some other scripts for irssi are nice too.  the 'ls' one lets me search the chanlist for any string in nick/identd/host -- very useful at times
[08:57] <Tm_T> why hte hell I need chanlist
[08:57] <Tm_T> :p
[08:57] <sampan> well if you're opping a channel of 200 users (which i used to do), it's very important :D
[08:57] <Tm_T> nah
[08:57] <Tm_T> never done it
[08:58] <Tm_T> never will
[08:58] <kkathman> I wish there was a way to put a different background on each virtual desktop
[08:58] <Tm_T> sampan: sounds like you use quakenet
[08:58] <Tm_T> kkathman: there is
[08:58] <kkathman> instead of the same one on all
[08:58] <kkathman> REALLY???
[08:58] <kkathman> HOW?
[08:58] <Tm_T> yup
[08:58] <sampan> tm_t, actually undernet for years ... hardly there at all anymore
[08:58] <Tm_T> kkathman: you got that background dialog open?
[08:59] <kkathman> off of configure desktop?
[08:59] <Tm_T> or where ever
[08:59] <kkathman> yes
[08:59] <DaSkreech> Ah Net stopped burping :)
[08:59] <DaSkreech> Anyone hae OO base? :-)
[08:59] <Tm_T> in top of it, you see droplist
[08:59] <kkathman> ISEE IT!! KEWL!!
[08:59] <kkathman> HOWD I MISS THAT!
[08:59] <sampan> lol
[08:59] <Tm_T> Setting for desktops:
[08:59] <Tm_T> -s
[08:59] <Tm_T> there's your answer
[09:00] <sampan> funny how the littlest things sometimes -- i accidentally turned off icon in apps' menus 
[09:00] <sampan> holy moly, took me HOURS to find how to turn them back on again 
[09:00] <kkathman> ahh it doesnt work tho :(
[09:00] <sampan> maybe you have to restart kde?
[09:01] <Tm_T> no!
[09:01] <Tm_T> kkathman: are you sure you pressed "apply" after every change?
[09:01] <Tm_T> I don't think it's required but make things more sure
[09:02] <kkathman> Ahh ok it works
[09:03] <sampan> that's what i love about kde -- everything is tweakable -- choice is almost overwhelming at times (esp. after using windows where so little is customizable), but it's hard to deal with gnome where everything feels so straightjacketed
[09:07] <kkathman> I need a really black or neutral background for my console and various other things for the other desktops
[09:08] <sampan> use a lot of virtual desktops?
[09:08] <Tm_T> hmm
[09:08] <Tm_T> 8 here
[09:08] <raphink> 12 here
[09:08] <raphink> :)
[09:08] <sampan> sheesh ... 2
[09:08] <raphink> lol
[09:08] <raphink> I run all my programs full screen, on different desktops :)
[09:09] <sampan> my needs are simple i guess
[09:09] <raphink> Kaiser_Away: :D
[09:09] <DaSkreech> Straight Konsole *cough* I mean console for me
[09:09] <Kaiser_Away> :)
[09:10] <sampan> i think the last time i used an app in full screen it was photoedting for a bonsai book like 4 years ago :/
[09:10] <raphink> Kaiser_Away: few people do that
[09:10] <raphink> but I find it so great to run all programs full screens :)
[09:10] <raphink> and just have one task = one screen
[09:10] <raphink> :)
[09:10] <Kaiser_Away> raphink: then you know where it is, and its 'glance' able as well :D
[09:10] <raphink> yes
[09:11] <raphink> I always know that Konversation is always open on desktop 6
[09:11] <raphink> konqui on 2
[09:11] <raphink> konsole on 4
[09:11] <raphink> etc.
[09:11] <raphink> so I can just ctrl+Fx to access any program I use very often
[09:11] <DaSkreech> raphink: Get yakuake
[09:11] <raphink> and it helps focusing on what I'm doing to hvae the program taking the whole screen
[09:11] <sampan> i guess i just use overlapping windows, but i don't fret them much, just switch alt-tab to whichever i want at any moment
[09:12] <raphink> how will that help me DaSkreech ?
[09:12] <DaSkreech> One less desktop to dust
[09:12] <raphink> sampan: that's what I do when I need several windows on the same desktops
[09:12] <raphink> if I need several programs to achieve one task
[09:12] <sampan> makes sense
[09:12] <raphink> DaSkreech: what's wrong with having lots of desktops ?
[09:13] <kkathman> well its after 2am...Im off to bed...cyall tomorrow :)
[09:13] <sampan> night kkathman 
[09:13] <kkathman> nighters :)
[09:19] <hussam> guys check this out http://www.arouse.net/despair-linux/debian.jpg
[09:20] <aftertaf> loooool
[09:20] <aftertaf> would you like fries :] 
[09:21] <hussam> aftertaf: Ubuntu, http://www.arouse.net/despair-linux/ubuntu.jpg
[09:22] <aftertaf> :] 
[09:22] <Tm_T> hussam: who cares, that's really old "joke"
[09:23] <aftertaf> new to me...
[09:23] <hussam> Tm_T: I know it's old, but I'm bored and things seem funnier when I'm bored lol :)
[09:23] <Tm_T> :(
[09:23] <hussam> Tm_T: It's the first time I see it too
[09:24] <DaSkreech> Anyone have OO.o base and 15 minutes?
[09:25] <aftertaf> lol
[09:26] <Tm_T> if I have base but no 15min?
[09:26] <Tm_T> I'm ok then?
[09:27] <Tm_T> or no base but 15min?
[09:27] <DaSkreech> Sure
[09:27] <Tm_T> or, grey hair and no teeth?
[09:27] <DaSkreech> If you have a database with repeated data
[09:27] <Tm_T> ;)
[09:27] <_manveru> are there any known issues concerning amaroK on kubuntu 5.10 ?
[09:27] <Tm_T> manveru: yes
[09:27] <Tm_T> worrrrrrking great <3
[09:27] <_manveru> -.-
[09:28] <_manveru> i got 2 kubuntu-boxes here, both give me no sound
[09:28] <_manveru> i mean, they do, but not in amaroK
[09:29] <Tm_T> check a) your installed plugins
[09:29] <Tm_T> b) amarok engine selection
[09:30] <_manveru> well, i have installed everything that was related to amarok
[09:30] <_manveru> the xine, artsd, gstreamer plugins
[09:30] <raphink> _manveru: did you install the mp3 codecs?
[09:30] <_manveru> ?
[09:30] <raphink> !w32codecs
[09:30] <ubotu> w32codecs is a set of audio/video codecs for DVD-Video. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats deb to download: http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy)
[09:30] <_manveru> !
[09:30] <ubotu> No idea, _manveru
[09:30] <raphink> hmm sorry that's another thing
[09:30] <raphink> !codecs
[09:30] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, codecs is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats
[09:31] <raphink> mp3 is not a free format, and thus not included in the basic ubuntu install
[09:31] <_manveru> hell, like suse in it's early years...
[09:31] <raphink> you have to install them
[09:31] <_manveru> and why does JuK play them?
[09:31] <Tm_T> different engine
[09:32] <Hhhhh> !codecs
[09:32] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, codecs is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats
[09:32] <Hhhhh> !codecs
[09:32] <Hhhhh> ;)
[09:33] <strike4ce> How do I open a file with alien?
[09:33] <strike4ce> Is alien supposed to be on my desktop?
[09:33] <mornfall> i have updated the adept 2.0 feature list on http://web.ekhis.org/adept.html -- comments?
[09:33] <thoreauputic> strike4ce: 1) you don't - you use alien to convert rpms  2) no
[09:34] <DaSkreech> 1.) Get beamed up with or without your will
[09:34] <strike4ce> thoreauputic: what the?
[09:34] <mornfall> i'd say you shouldn't use alien unless you know what it does and how it works =)
[09:34] <thoreauputic> !info alien
[09:34] <ubotu> alien: (install non-native packages with dpkg), section admin, is optional. Version: 8.53 (breezy), Packaged size: 112 kB, Installed size: 288 kB
[09:34] <strike4ce> thoreauputic: What should I use to convert the rpm file?
[09:35] <_manveru> so it is a ubuntu-problem after all
[09:35] <thoreauputic> strike4ce: why are you using rpm?
[09:35] <_manveru> would be nice to have a short message during the installation or something
[09:35] <strike4ce> to install a ati driver
[09:35] <thoreauputic> !ati
[09:35] <ubotu> methinks ati is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10
[09:35] <thoreauputic> strike4ce: ^^^^
[09:35] <_manveru> !mp3
[09:35] <ubotu> mp3 is, like, a non-free format. Restricted formats' installation instructions can be found on the RestrictedFormats page of the wiki - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/wiki/RestrictedFormats - click away:)
[09:35] <mornfall> oh yey binary formats
[09:36] <mornfall> err, drivers
[09:36] <mornfall> that mp3 thing got me confused
[09:36] <mornfall> *sigh*
[09:36] <mornfall> what about that feature list?
[09:36] <mornfall> anyone care to comment?
[09:36] <_manveru> what features?
[09:36] <DaSkreech> Yeah
[09:36] <DaSkreech> well no But I have a question
[09:37] <mornfall> hmh
[09:37] <DaSkreech> mornfall: Can the konsole be hidden in such a way that if it's gone and a question comes up that is put into a pop up dialog box?
[09:37] <mornfall> _manveru: http://web.ekhis.org/adept.html look down adept 2.0 planned feature list
[09:37] <mornfall> DaSkreech: it'd be nice if you would read the list first =)
[09:38] <mornfall> from the page, "make it possible to hide the konsole somehow, unless it's needed for user interaction (and show progressbar for dpkg)"
[09:38] <mornfall> ah, also forget popups
[09:38] <mornfall> popups are evil
[09:39] <strike4ce> thoreauputic: ATI has a driver for linux I dont want the flgrx driver
[09:39] <_manveru> mornfall: how about dpkg-reconfigure ?
[09:39] <mornfall> _manveru: "how about" == ?
[09:39] <mornfall> _manveru: if you want that in, file a wishlist on bugs.kde.org :))
[09:39] <_manveru> ^^
[09:39] <_manveru> just wanted to hear your thoughts
[09:40] <_manveru> but, every feature of dpkg would be nice...
[09:40] <_manveru> and in the end you are in the console...
[09:40] <thoreauputic> strike4ce: *shrug* I don't see how we can support proprietary drivers - the instructions are on the web page I guess
[09:40] <_manveru> :)
[09:40] <DaSkreech> mornfall: I did
[09:41] <DaSkreech> mornfall: So the konsole would ... flash when it needs attention?
[09:41] <mornfall> DaSkreech: do what?
[09:42] <DaSkreech> Well you say it should hide unless user interaction is needed and you are against it popping up so whats the other options?
[09:42] <mornfall> DaSkreech: more like there would be a progress bar and the konsole would be hidden (maybe just showing what's going on in some detail, but less detail than normal dpkg) -- konsole would replace the view if demanding attention
[09:42] <DaSkreech> hmm
[09:42] <mornfall> like currently download and konsole switch places
[09:42] <mornfall> but i'm not sure what's everybody's complaint about the konsole, either
[09:43] <Tm_T> Konsole <3
[09:43] <DaSkreech> It's bulky for most people I guess
[09:43] <mornfall> bulky?
[09:43] <Tm_T> whatta
[09:43] <DaSkreech> Sit with your grandmother while she uses the computer some time ;)
[09:43] <Tm_T> DaSkreech: define
[09:43] <Tm_T> err err
[09:43] <Tm_T> ok, I'm not granny
[09:43] <DaSkreech> Things like that scare her
[09:43] <mornfall> DaSkreech: grandmothers generally don't install software -- they call their grandson if they need that
[09:43] <DaSkreech> They do Updates though
[09:44] <mornfall> DaSkreech: maybe, but there's no way we can guarantee the update will go flawlessly
[09:44] <Tm_T> mornfall: err, yes you can
[09:44] <mornfall> DaSkreech: and hiding any hint of what went wrong from the user is probably not the smartest idea, ever
[09:44] <mornfall> Tm_T: hmm? =)
[09:44] <Tm_T> :)
[09:45] <mornfall> can't, period :)
[09:45] <mornfall> things break
[09:45] <Tm_T> mornfall: quarantee is you in the other end of telephone wire
[09:45] <mornfall> Tm_T: in a program, huh
[09:45] <Tm_T> ah!
[09:46] <Tm_T> then
[09:46] <mornfall> Tm_T: if i could embed myself into code, you would have a decent automated system administrator ;-)
[09:46] <Tm_T> mornfall: please do ;)
[09:46] <mornfall> hmm, it would also rewrite itself on occasion
[09:46] <mornfall> sometimes in a somewhat exotic languages like scheme or common lisp... or ruby ;-)
[09:47] <Tm_T> what about very exotic C++ ?
[09:47] <mornfall> C++ is not exotic :p
[09:47] <Tm_T> :(
[09:47] <Tm_T> mornfall: go to bookstore
[09:47] <mornfall> well, i don't count moronic languages like java :p
[09:47] <Tm_T> mornfall: atleast here they say "noone is using it"
[09:48] <Tm_T> mornfall: and no C++ bibles available, what a laugh
[09:48] <mornfall> well, tough luck
[09:48] <mornfall> it's just a language
[09:49] <_jaypee> does anyone have amarok .deb package?
[09:49] <_jaypee> version 1.3.3
[09:49] <mornfall> bahmpf
[09:50] <_manveru> ruby is not exotic :)
[09:50] <DaSkreech> D is exotic
[09:50] <_manveru> yeah... still
[09:52] <Kinomees> /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: locales is broken or not fully installed
[09:52] <Kinomees> what to do ?
[09:52] <Kinomees> cant install again
[09:52] <Kinomees> says i have to reconf it
[09:52] <mornfall> D, uh
[09:52] <_manveru> !java
[09:52] <ubotu> I heard java is to install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadeb
[09:53] <mornfall> wasn't D another parody on C++?
[09:55] <_manveru> no, actually it's quite good (that is what i have been told by some guys who use it)
[09:55] <_manveru> it's a kind of sanitized C++ to make it really OO and some additional stuff
[09:56] <_manveru> !flash
[09:56] <ubotu> I guess flash is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[09:56] <_manveru> duh...
[09:56] <mornfall> OO is so 80s :-)
[09:56] <_manveru> channel.delete(:mornfall)
[09:56] <_manveru> ^^
[09:57] <mornfall> in that comparison of languages on digitalmars, they *should* have considered libgc (boehm) for C and C++
[09:57] <_manveru> maybe some day there will something better, but there is nothing new since the 80s...
[09:58] <mornfall> OO is overrated
[09:59] <_manveru> btw, any idea why both 'sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree' and 'sudo apt-get install realplayer' doesn't work?
[09:59] <_manveru> there are no pkgs for them, and i _have_ universe
[09:59] <mornfall> *and* D has no m-i
[09:59] <_manveru> well, in the case that OO is overrated, i really love to play around with it
[10:00] <_manveru> and having fun is one of the most important aspects of programming
[10:00] <DaSkreech> I thought hacking it ot the man was one of the most important
[10:01] <mornfall> what. the. fuck.
[10:01] <mornfall> how can you say that contract programming is a language feature
[10:01] <mornfall> anything with an assert can do that
[10:02] <mornfall> okey, class invariants are an interesting feature...
[10:03] <_ben> ...umm can anyone help out a vaio user?
[10:05] <DaSkreech> *burns OO.o 2.0 on a unholy pyre*
[10:05] <DaSkreech> Right I'm off
[10:06] <mornfall> heh
[10:10] <fate00> why doesn't the proftpd package with work inetd?
[10:11] <blarf> does kubuntu have packages for vixie cron?
[10:11] <fate00> blarf: look
[10:12] <blarf> fate00: I did, and I didn't see any
[10:12] <blarf> seems like quite a glaring omission
[10:14] <fate00> I have no idea what vixie cron is
[10:14] <blarf> paul vixie's version of the cron daemon
[10:14] <fate00> cron?
[10:17] <blarf> ugh
[10:18] <nikkia> blarf, fcron is better :)
[10:19] <blarf> nikki_a: I would agree with you simply on the basis that the out of the box kubuntu install is, quite broken for me.
[10:22] <nalioth> nikkia: where you been?
[10:22] <nikkia> nalioth: nowhere, why?
[10:22] <nalioth> havent seen/chatted with you lately
[10:23] <blarf> ack
[10:23] <blarf> wtf
[10:23] <blarf> how is "America/Los_Angeles"'s timezone 'UTC'
[10:24] <sampan> heh i had that problem too blarf
[10:24] <sampan> lemme see if i can find the webpage for the fix
[10:24] <blarf> ah, don't worry about it
[10:24] <blarf> I'm just whining
[10:25] <sampan> lol
[10:25] <blarf> I'm going to find a different distro tomorrow
[10:25] <sampan> well mine wouldn't let me re-set it
[10:25] <blarf> sampan, mine won't let me:
[10:25] <blarf> list the cront tasks or set the timezone
[10:26] <sampan> http://www.mepis.org/node/7678
[10:26] <blarf> it set the default x resolution to 640x480. with no obvious way of changing it
[10:26] <blarf> no vixie-cron package, no rar package(!??)
[10:26] <sampan> somehow my kubuntu install didn't make the proper symlink with my time zone -- had to do it manually -- sounds like yours was the same way
[10:26] <blarf> probably
[10:26] <blarf> oh, and not setting a root password by default is nice
[10:27] <Kaiser_Away> blarf: rar is in multiverse iirc
[10:27] <blarf> with no obvious way to change it (have I mentioned I fucking hate sudo?).
[10:27] <sampan> that's the ubuntu way (no root -- just sudo)
[10:27] <blarf> sampan, yeah, I'm not down for that. :D
[10:27] <sampan> it's easy to enable root though
[10:27] <blarf> oh and the hot plug stuff
[10:28] <sampan> that's been fixed too
[10:28] <blarf> that's awesome, I plugged in the iPod, konq popped up two error messages
[10:28] <blarf> heh
[10:28] <sampan> i had couple problems with kubuntu -- so i ended out just doing a fresh install of ubuntu and then apt-get-ting the kubuntu-desktop
[10:28] <blarf> sampan: seems to me there should have been another release then?
[10:29] <blarf> seems to me, also, if no root logins are allowed, some way of configuring X should have been presented, before it went into kdm, or from kde
[10:29] <blarf> simply selecting the default reconfigure options for xorg gave me the proper resolution and such
[10:31] <godzero> hi hi
[10:39] <Kaiser_Away> wtf. how do you "misplace" 17 GIG of data???? i cant even find it with locate
[10:48] <jeh_work> Kaiser_Away: check the wastebasket :)
[10:49] <jeh_work> on windows i once by mistake pressed the mouse button in explorer and ended up dragging some folders somewhere. took a few hours to sort it out...
[10:50] <sampan> i deleted 6 gigs of photos once, during a drunken evening on irc :/
[10:53] <godzero> sampan: gotta hide the evidence from the wife somehow.
[10:54] <sampan> lol ... i wish those were the photos i'd have deleted
[10:55] <sampan> errr strike out the "'d have"  -- sheesh i can't type
[10:56] <godzero> if I had a nickle for every time someone forgot to del a file, then came to me for help...
[10:56] <azertyuuu> hey all, i need to replace a file , but i must be root, how can i do that ? 
[10:56] <godzero> azertyuuu: sudo (what you wanna do)
[10:57] <azertyuuu> i want to copy a file
[10:57] <godzero> ssudo mv file filesnewhome
[10:57] <godzero> sudo
[10:58] <godzero> for some reason my "s" button goes wonky
[10:58] <azertyuuu> thanx
[11:00] <hettar> Anyone had any success getting NetworkManager to work with kde ??
[11:02] <godzero> never used it
[11:04] <Java_the_Hutt> Hello, is there a fix for administrator mode problem ?
[11:06] <icewt> Java_the_Hutt: you mean the problem with the button?
[11:08] <godzero> Java_the_Hutt: sudo kcontrol
[11:08] <Java_the_Hutt> icewt: no with the kontrol center
[11:08] <godzero> more a work-around
[11:08] <Java_the_Hutt> it is stupid
[11:09] <Java_the_Hutt> i mean didn't they try such a thing as a test ?
[11:09] <icewt> or kdesu kcontrol
[11:09] <Java_the_Hutt> how can i suggest kubuntu to my friends with such a bug
[11:10] <godzero> icewt: thankyou for correcting me.    yes, kdesu kcontrol
[11:10] <godzero> java_ that's a problem more with kde
[11:10] <Java_the_Hutt> I also get  unknown host errors while surfing with konqueror. Do you have such a problem ?
[11:11] <icewt> Java_the_Hutt: that's what i meant, problem with the "Administrator Mode..."-button
[11:11] <Java_the_Hutt> yeah but you are RELEASING an OS and its system settings not working
[11:11] <Java_the_Hutt> thats not understandable
[11:11] <godzero> Java_the_Hutt: unknowhost is a prob with your tcp/ip
[11:12] <Java_the_Hutt> godzero: firefox seems working on the other hand
[11:12] <Java_the_Hutt> i was just curious if this was a general problem or specific to mine
[11:12] <Java_the_Hutt> i suppose not general
[11:12] <sampan> what's the administrator button problem?
[11:13] <sampan> <-- curious
[11:13] <godzero> unknown host is a tcp/ip prob, more like the timing fixed it. The button prob is a prob that's hard to fix
[11:13] <_Tonio_> Java_the_Hutt: the administrator mode is actually causing problems with most users, using systemsettings or kcontrol anyway...
[11:13] <_Tonio_> sometimes it works, somethimes not.... no specific rules for this
[11:13] <Java_the_Hutt> sampan:  you can not go into administrator mode in systemsettings program although you enter the pass
[11:14] <_Tonio_> sampan: the problem is that you click on the button, are prompted to put your password, you validate, and then you are not are an administrator
[11:14] <_Tonio_> AKA you cannot set tome settings ;)
[11:14] <godzero> Java_the_Hutt: correct
[11:14] <sampan> ahhh, that happened to me with kubuntu yeah -- not with ubuntu + kunbuntu-desktop though
[11:15] <godzero> Java_the_Hutt: sudo kcontrol, etc... the way that kde does root doesn't work with kubuntu
[11:15] <Java_the_Hutt> ubuntu + kubuntu-desktop screwed up my gnome
[11:15] <sampan> java_the_hutt   dare i say: that's no big loss! ;)
[11:16] <godzero> arg, kdesu kcontrol
[11:16] <_Tonio_> Java_the_Hutt: but I agree to the fact that it would maybe have been better to wait a few days before releasing and ask for help and contribution on systemsettings debugging....
[11:16] <godzero> I am the proud owner of 1,000,00 brain farts.
[11:17] <_Tonio_> having bugs is not a problem, but it concerns the main administration tool......
[11:17] <godzero> It's a suprise everytime I tie my shoes correctly
[11:17] <Java_the_Hutt> _Tonio_: yeah thats more than a bug in dead
[11:18] <godzero> agreed
[11:18] <_Tonio_> Java_the_Hutt: that's a major issue.... and the problem is that appart from that kubuntu is a must have to me....
[11:18] <sampan> does it happen on upgrades from hoary-->breezy ?  or only on fresh installs?
[11:18] <godzero> all
[11:18] <_Tonio_> anyway, there are not many, many people contributing to this....
[11:18] <Java_the_Hutt> Also kubuntu offers KDE 3.5 installation in its main page. What a big mistak
[11:18] <helpme> what is that command fix dpi 75 or something to fix large windows & icons?
[11:19] <_Tonio_> bugs have been reported, so, because of opensource philosophy, if you know potential developpers that can correct this bug ;)
[11:19] <Java_the_Hutt> KDE 3.5 for kubuntu is practically not usable because it has no sound
[11:19] <_Tonio_> I'm sure the Kubutu crew would be happy to push a correcting package in breezy updates
[11:19] <godzero> Java_the_Hutt: that's news, not install
[11:19] <Java_the_Hutt> and you offer it from your main web site
[11:19] <Tm_T> Java_the_Hutt: err
[11:19] <sampan> i think i wrote a couple simple BASIC programs for my atari iie about 25 years ago -- am i a potential developer?
[11:19] <Tm_T> Java_the_Hutt: I use KDE 3.5b2 with sounds
[11:19] <Java_the_Hutt> godzero: it encourages it. It never says be careful or so
[11:20] <_Tonio_> helpme: concerning the DPI 75, edit kdmrc
[11:20] <Java_the_Hutt> Tm_T: there's arts crashing
[11:20] <Tm_T> Java_the_Hutt: I don't use arts
[11:20] <Java_the_Hutt> again a work around then
[11:20] <godzero> "beta" says be carefull, does it not?
[11:20] <Tm_T> yu
[11:20] <helpme> _Tonio_: how??
[11:20] <Tm_T> godzero: yes
[11:20] <_Tonio_> helpme: wait a second
[11:21] <Tm_T> godzero: but most of the time KDE beta releases are so good that people expect they always are
[11:21] <Java_the_Hutt> godzero: my personal opinion that page encourages. I just installed and reinstalled my whole OS. May be i am stupid to do it. But i am not alone
[11:22] <godzero> I guess that's possable, but not *my* experience on breezy/3.5b2
[11:22] <Tm_T> to me, beta2 is awesome <3<3
[11:22] <Tm_T> no way I'm downgrading
[11:23] <Tm_T> btw Ktorrent 1.2 is cool
[11:23] <godzero> beta2 has been a pain in the a$$
[11:24] <_Tonio_> helpme: edit kdmrc with this command : sudo kwrite /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc
[11:24] <_Tonio_> helpme: then search for this :
[11:24] <_Tonio_> ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp
[11:24] <_Tonio_> and add "-dpi 100"
[11:24] <_Tonio_> helpme: that will force dpi 100 instead of dpi 75
[11:25] <godzero> Ktorrentr looks good, I'm stuck on 1.0.. did you compile it?
[11:25] <pointwood> Tm_T: ktorrent 1.2? link? what's new? I'm using kde3.5beta2 and got 1.0...
[11:25] <pointwood> lots of questions :)
[11:25] <helpme> _Tonio_: thanks a lot:)
[11:25] <_Tonio_> helpme: no pb, don't forget to restart X after that
[11:26] <helpme> okie
[11:26] <Tm_T> pointwood: link is... svn
[11:26] <helpme> _Tonio_: opera is running....can i restart x without closing opera?
[11:26] <nalioth> ktorrent 1.2? wow i just got 1.1 the other day
[11:26] <_Tonio_> helpme: no
[11:26] <Tm_T> nalioth: devel stuff
[11:26] <Tm_T> ;)
[11:27] <Tm_T> godzero: compiled from trunk sources
[11:27] <nalioth> Tm_T: i'll have to go and look for the cvs link
[11:27] <Tm_T> nalioth: you mean svn
[11:27] <helpme> im downloading ubuntu iso with opera...188mb done...should i proceed? or use torrent app or something? which would be faster?
[11:28] <nalioth> Tm_T: i'm sorry i dont keep up with what project uses svn cvs or some other system. you got the point
[11:28] <Tm_T> http://ktorrent.pwsp.net/index.php?page=faq
[11:28] <_Tonio_> helpme: wait for the end..........; is that an emergency ,
[11:28] <_Tonio_> ?
[11:30] <hussam> !skype
[11:30] <ubotu> skype is probably http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/SkypeHowto/ or deb http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/ stable non-free, or breezy debs: http://seveas.ubuntulinux.nl
[11:32] <pointwood> nice...a lot has certainly happened between 1.0 and 1.1
[11:33] <helpme> _Tonio_: end of download? i want ubuntu rigth away:)
[11:33] <helpme> its taking long time.....at 25kbps
[11:34] <godzero> Java_the_Hutt: to answer yor qestion about "why should I recommend linux/kububtu": One anecdodel answer wold be waht I did today, I mixed some CDs together for a friend, that she couldn't do under windows.. after spending an extra $50 on some "cd coping" software.
[11:35] <godzero> It's not like windows is not with out it's bugs, nor is it capable of doing exen the most basic of tasks
[11:35] <Java_the_Hutt> ok thx but i did not ask such a question
[11:36] <Java_the_Hutt> i said i can not recommend kubuntu with such a major issue
[11:38] <godzero> I understand (I think), the admin button works under mandrake (last time I used it), why not under kubuntu? I agree it's a prob
[11:39] <godzero> but then again, I'm not one of those who think k)ubuntu is for newbees
[11:44] <sampan> when i try to configure ktorrent ... i get: checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths!
[11:44] <sampan> i have no idea what that means 
[11:45] <godzero> x dev?
[11:45] <sampan> i dunno ... i have no clue (very first time trying to compile something)
[11:50] <godzero> sampan: gotta setup alot befor you compile stuff, mostly you need the *-dev stuff.. that tells the compiler how to use the library, or kernel, etc
[11:51] <sampan> yeah, i googled -- looks like a bunch of downloads :) wheeeeee
[11:52] <sampan> no biggie -- only have to download it all once i hope
[11:53] <sampan> wheeeeeeee now the qt
[11:55] <godzero> g'night all

[12:14] <Java_the_Hutt> i got the above massege while installing the java-package

[12:15] <_Tonio_> Java_the_Hutt: did you activate the multiverse repository
[12:16] <Java_the_Hutt> I think so hold on

[02:10] <Vide> no one having problems with the flash plugin for mozilla?
[02:10] <icewt> well, of course it would be good to get adept to work, but you don't need it to install/upgrade stuff
[02:10] <raphink> how about another browser onur ?
[02:10] <TheSwan> Kinomees, where are the folder preferences listed?
[02:10] <onur> firefox works fine

[02:23] <TheSwan> ok, fyi, it appears the thunderbird team changed the location of the mail. it is now .mozilla-thunderbird. I had to delete my extensions, and also rename my .thunderbird folder. All is well.
[02:23] <raphink> I use the fr one onur 
[02:24] <raphink> what country are you in?
[02:25] <aftertaf> onur, remove the tr. in front of all lines.
[02:25] <endo602> anyone up
[02:25] <endo602> for some reason when the system calls me to enter the root password
[02:25] <raphink> yep
[02:26] <endo602> after i enter it wont let me axx options
[02:26] <endo602> raphink
[02:26] <endo602> i got the system up
[02:26] <aftertaf> endo602:  put your pw, not root pw.
[02:26] <raphink> what do you mean endo602 ?
[02:27] <raphink> you never need your root passwd endo602 
[02:28] <onur> my sources list file is http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/3403
[02:28] <endo602> i mean my password
[02:28] <raphink> ubuntu uses sudo by default
[02:28] <endo602> still wont give me the option
[02:28] <endo602> i know
[02:28] <endo602> i need to manual change my network interface
[02:28] <raphink> endo602: where ?
[02:29] <endo602> but alas i cannot go under administrator mode
[02:29] <endo602> network settings > system settings
[02:29] <raphink> onur: what is tr btw ?
[02:29] <aitor>  does any of you know how is it possible kdm won't work but startx does work?
[02:29] <manveru_> endo602: if you really want to become root 'sudo su root' does the job
[02:29] <raphink> endo602: try kdesu kcontrol
[02:30] <raphink> manveru_: sudo su 
[02:30] <manveru_> ah, yeah :)
[02:30] <raphink> is enough
[02:30] <manveru_> i'm only used to use usernames in su
[02:30] <onur> Turkey  i suppose
[02:30] <raphink> ok 
[02:30] <raphink> :)
[02:31] <endo602> raphink 
[02:31] <manveru_> the problem with the network-menu is btw that the 'get superuser' option is on the bottom
[02:31] <endo602> it just hangs
[02:31] <manveru_> you have to make the window fullscreen to see them
[02:31] <raphink> endo602: doesnt ask for your passwd?
[02:31] <endo602> nope
[02:31] <raphink> sure the box to ask passw is not under your window?
[02:32] <raphink> onur: run apt-setup
[02:32] <endo602> positive
[02:32] <raphink> and choose sources from other countries
[02:32] <raphink> hmmm
[02:32] <raphink> endo 
[02:32] <raphink> ps x | grep kcontrol
[02:32] <raphink> what do you get?
[02:33] <endo602> 7564 pts/8    R+ 0:00 grep kcontrol
[02:34] <raphink> ok
[02:34] <raphink> now
[02:34] <raphink> sudo ps x | grep kcontrol
[02:34] <onur> raphink: then what
[02:34] <raphink> then choose your sources onur 
[02:35] <endo602> ok
[02:35] <onur> raphink: there comes a CD Scanner and no more
[02:35] <endo602> it said enter password
[02:35] <endo602> so i did
[02:35] <endo602> now what
[02:35] <raphink> your own pass endo602, not the root pass
[02:35] <endo602> yes
[02:35] <raphink> ok
[02:35] <endo602> my own
[02:35] <raphink> and you got nothing?
[02:35] <endo602> i got the command prompt
[02:35] <raphink> ok
[02:36] <drasko> Hi. Where I can find good book about Ubuntu or Debian?
[02:36] <manveru_> amazon.com
[02:36] <raphink> on amazon drasko ? 
[02:36] <raphink> manveru_:  ;)
[02:36] <raphink> endo602: sudo kcontrol &
[02:36] <manveru_> never bought one...
[02:36] <raphink> me neither
[02:36] <raphink> never bought a linux book
[02:36] <raphink> ever
[02:36] <manveru_> i once bought one about perl... does that count?
[02:37] <raphink> could be interesting
[02:37] <raphink> hehe
[02:37] <raphink> bought once some linux magazines, does that count too manveru_ ?
[02:37] <manveru_> and the suse-manuals... they are almost the size of a book
[02:37] <manveru_> ^^
[02:37] <aftertaf> drasko:  good book? not many.... best is wiki & net pages, and getting your own doc. things differ between distros
[02:38] <manveru_> especially since ubuntu is moving that fast... it would be an outdated book when it comes out
[02:38] <manveru_> debian woody might have some...
[02:38] <drasko> Thanks, but I want to download some free book as pdf, since here in Serbia there is no way to pay outside, just in my country.
[02:39] <endo602> what should my primary group be
[02:39] <endo602> raphink can i pm?
[02:39] <aftertaf> drasko:  can be done via mule, but its nonfree ;)
[02:39] <raphink> sure endo602 
[02:39] <endo602> check pm
[02:39] <manveru_> drasko: i don't think there is a book about ubuntu yet
[02:40] <raphink> what do you want to learn drasko ?
[02:40] <raphink> usage, programming, administration?
[02:41] <drasko> Well, administration is my main occupation.
[02:41] <raphink> ok
[02:41] <aftertaf> a bok on that should exist. or a good howto on the net.
[02:41] <manveru_> so start with the shell?
[02:42] <raphink> how about that drasko http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals ?
[02:42] <aftertaf> !cli
[02:42] <ubotu> rumour has it, cli is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands or http://www.linuxcommand.org/
[02:42] <manveru_> http://www.kofler.cc/ubuntu.html
[02:42] <manveru_> wow
[02:42] <manveru_> there _is_ a book
[02:43] <raphink> :)
[02:44] <raphink> drasko: there's this too http://ubuntuguide.org/
[02:46] <drasko> Thanks, I will check links right now.

[04:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> no
[04:37] <stupendo44> Is there any way to make it so if I click on a file, it will show the complete (however long) filename?
[04:38] <apokryphos> satafterh: only breezy-updates, afaik
[04:41] <apokryphos> Kamping_Kaiser: so, I didn't know -- you on the doc team? What kind of stuff you done? :)
[04:41] <Kamping_Kaiser> apokryphos: just going to join
[04:41] <Kamping_Kaiser> lol
[04:41] <Kamping_Kaiser> iv been around the chan for a few weeks. 
[04:41] <apokryphos> oh ok, cool
[04:41] <Kamping_Kaiser> i want to start doing stuff
[04:41] <Kamping_Kaiser> :S
[04:41] <apokryphos> nice
[04:42] <apokryphos> right in time for dapper
[04:42] <Kamping_Kaiser> yep
[04:42] <satafterh> #apokryphos - updates are good, well after fighting will my computer for days after installing kde betes i decided to do a clean install, now its works ten times better than after i upgraded from 5.04, I guess clean install is the way to go. Kubuntu is now a pleasure to use, and enabling DMA made a big diffrance to. love this dosto
[04:42] <Kamping_Kaiser> thats the hope :)
[04:42] <endo602> what i do a make install
[04:43] <endo602> it doesnt work
[04:43] <endo602> when
[04:43] <endo602> *
[04:47] <ca5s4va> alo everyone 
[04:48] <ca5s4va> i saw lot of nice bootsplash theme for splashy 
[04:48] <ca5s4va> when i want to install splashy it is mention that usplash and kubuntu-desktop will be removed
[04:49] <ca5s4va> so how i install splashy 
[04:52] <stupendo44> kubuntu-desktop is removed whenever one of it's pieces is removed. And since usplash is part of kubuntu-desktop, it will be removed. This is not destructive, it doesn't remove the whole installation.
[04:52] <stupendo44> if you read the description for kubuntu-desktop, you may understand more clearly
[04:55] <asraniel> question, i got a correct dsdt file for my laptop, do i realy have to recompile the kernel or is there another way?
[04:56] <endo602> what is the make command
[04:56] <endo602> ?
[04:57] <ca5s4va> mr stupendo44 
[04:58] <ca5s4va> do u use splashy?
[04:58] <ca5s4va> actually splashy is under debian repository 
[04:58] <ca5s4va> is it safe to be included in kubuntu ?
[04:58] <strike4ce> How do I back up my xorg.conf?
[04:59] <strike4ce> How do I back up my xorg.conf?
[05:00] <strike4ce> How do I back up my xorg.conf?
[05:00] <icewt> is there something like gdesklets for kde?
[05:01] <strike4ce> How do I back up my xorg.conf?
[05:01] <Whistler> strike4ce sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf_old
[05:01] <apokryphos> strike4ce: stop being annoying
[05:01] <strike4ce> i thought this was the place to come for answers but no one answers questions
[05:02] <apokryphos> strike4ce: this is the place to come with questions; not the place to flood the channel
[05:03] <apokryphos> jjesse: so is it just you and froud now on kubuntu docs?
[05:03] <strike4ce> I come here everyday and get the same bullshit.  I wasnt flooding the channel hardly
[05:03] <jjesse> apokryphos: it looks that way, w/ some help from jsgontaco
[05:04] <Tm_T> strike4ce: shortly said: here's many people who are doing their best to asnwer questions, so be patient and polit ;)
[05:04] <Tm_T> strike4ce: and no, repeating question allthetime is not a good idea
[05:04] <strike4ce> Then how is my quaetion going to be answered?
[05:04] <Tm_T> damn, can't type well anymore, I think I need some coffee to get my head straight
[05:05] <Tm_T> strike4ce: patient
[05:05] <strike4ce> I did that command in terminal and nothing happens
[05:05] <ca5s4va> yes mr strike4ce
[05:05] <Tm_T> strike4ce: it does happened
[05:05] <ca5s4va> we are here to share knowledge
[05:05] <strike4ce> lol
[05:05] <Tm_T> strike4ce: it doesn't return a thing if all went well
[05:06] <strike4ce> sorry guys im just loosing patience with this
[05:06] <Tm_T> strike4ce: try this: ls /etc/X11/xorg.conf*
[05:06] <Tm_T> strike4ce: see noe that _old file?
[05:06] <strike4ce> Tm_T: ok I need to put it somewhere that I can find it easily

[05:07] <strike4ce> Tm_T: where is it now? lol
[05:07] <apokryphos> strike4ce: no, you *were* flooding the channel. Asking the same question repeatedly is annoying and, surprise, a close enough definition of flooding.
[05:07] <stupendo44> ca5s4va: sorry, I was away. If it's in the repository, it should be safe. I haven't used it, so I don't know
[05:07] <strike4ce> apokryphos: go away
[05:07] <Tm_T> strike4ce: where I mentioned it is
[05:07] <Tm_T>  /etc/X11/ dir
[05:08] <strike4ce> Tm_T: im totally new to this.  I have no idea what that means is that a file?
[05:08] <apokryphos> strike4ce: yeah, sure I will.
[05:08] <Tm_T> strike4ce: directory/folder
[05:08] <Tm_T> strike4ce: btw apokryphos is one of hte best of us, so he's the one who you should be polite with
[05:09] <Tm_T> strike4ce: smell tip for ya ;)

[05:09] <Tm_T> strike4ce: try harder, coffee, seriously ->
[05:09] <strike4ce> Tm_T: i've been in this channel over and over and no answers
[05:10] <stupendo44> strike4ce: for the same issue?

[05:11] <strike4ce> apokryphos: Sorry
[05:11] <Tm_T> uuhhh, better
[05:12] <Tm_T> strike4ce: well, I've been here about a half year now
[05:12] <apokryphos> strike4ce: what are you trying to do? Backup xorg.conf?
[05:12] <Tm_T> strike4ce: sometimes I get abswers, most of the time I give asnwers... but even I can't follow every discussion

[05:38] <Gingillo> Hi, how to see my usb pen? is it linked to my pc? what must i do?
[05:38] <Juerd> Gingillo: System button (in the button bar, left of the task bar), then Media
[05:39] <Gingillo> i see only my floppy drive :|
[05:39] <uwe> hussam! hus ?
[05:40] <hussam> uwe: ?
[05:40] <uwe> um, well, thought you might be someone i know!
[05:40] <hussam> uwe: oh ok
[05:41] <Gingillo> Juerd: i see only my floppy drive!!!!
[05:41] <uwe> well, nice to meet you! been using kubuntu for sometime now?
[05:42] <hussam> uwe: since May
[05:42] <uwe> great! so i guess you can tell me how good ar support is! cant you
[05:43] <hussam> Gingillo: if under media:/ in breezy, that's a know bug
[05:43] <Gingillo> so?
[05:43] <Gingillo> hussam: so i can't view my usb pen?
[05:43] <hussam> uwe: it has sone really minor, but it's pretty stable
[05:44] <uwe> hussam, i didnt understand what you mean! is the support minimal ?
[05:44] <hussam> Gingillo: check if it is mounted under /media or /mnt , not sure
[05:45] <hussam> uwe: there's good community support. check ubuntuforums.org and kubuntuforums.net
[05:45] <fk6> hussam: hi, i am also here in ramallah, we want to use it for the PNA and are considering to make it the official distribution for the governemnt. feel free to join at #pslug :)
[05:45] <Gingillo> hussam: it isn't
[05:45] <hussam> uwe: oh sorry I meant some minort bugs in media:/
[05:46] <Juerd> Gingillo: Then you will either have to wait for an upgrade that fixes the problem, or to learn how to mount the device manually.
[05:46] <fk6> hussam: are you using it fully arabized?
[05:46] <hussam> fk6: what's PNA?
[05:46] <hussam> fk6: I'm egyptian but I live in Lebanon
[05:47] <fk6> hussam: Palestinian National Authorotaaa(south park speak)
[05:47] <hussam> fk6: if that's what you are asking
[05:47] <hussam> fk6: i'll msg you
[05:48] <Gingillo> Juerd: Where can i leart how to mount a device manually?
[05:48] <Juerd> Gingillo: I have no idea if there is a tutorial online, but if you want, I can guide you through it here
[05:48] <Juerd> Gingillo: It's rather technical, but not at all hard.
[05:49] <_mariux> mount -t <filesystem> /dev/<devicename> /mnt/<foldertomountitat> -o rw,uid=<usernamethatshouldownthefolder>
[05:49] <Juerd> _mariux: rw is default, isn't it?
[05:49] <_mariux> i use it to be 100% sure
[05:49] <Juerd> _mariux: Also, the filesystem is autodetected in almost all cases.
[05:50] <Gingillo> Juerd: ok, Join the channel #HelpGingillo , there is too much noise
[05:50] <_mariux> yes
[05:50] <_mariux> mostly
[05:50] <_mariux> :)
[05:51] <bobesponja> does breezy ship with digikam and kdevelop or do I need to get it through universe?
[05:53] <_mariux> i just got it via apt
[05:54] <_mariux> it wasnt default not (kubuntu)
[05:54] <_mariux> *no
[05:58] <Eno_> why would the sun java firefox plugin be crashing firefox?
[05:58] <endo> raphink
[05:58] <Eno_> i installed it using java-package
[05:58] <raphink> yes endo?
[05:58] <endo> one sec
[05:58] <satafterh> I had a problem with video sync with audio, I enabled dma and it seems to have fixed the problem, thought others may want to try if they have the same problem
[05:58] <endo> i am going to see if i can log into my bnc through this client
[05:59] <gul> does anyone know if the new OpenOffice2 will be available for Kubuntu 5.04?
[06:00] <Eno_> openoffice2 is already in kubuntu
[06:00] <_mariux> the final oo.org 2?
[06:00] <Kamping_Kaiser> gul: it wont be. it may be in backports (usual disclaimers apply)
[06:01] <_mariux> i hate it when the distros are holding back new stuff
[06:01] <Eno_> ...
[06:01] <gul> how long time may it take before it becomes available as a backport?
[06:01] <Kamping_Kaiser> _mariux: 5.04 is stable. to add oo.o2 to it might break the stability. 5.10 has 2beta, as of about 2 weeks before realease
[06:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> gul: few days to a week or so
[06:02] <Gingillo> Juerd Helped me, He was very firendly. Thanks Juerd :)
[06:11] <satafterh> would write-cachebe ok to enable on my wd160 gig hd?
[06:12] <Kamping_Kaiser> should be
[06:14] <satafterh> what does this mean in realation to hd keepsettings =  0 (off?
[06:24] <satafterh> is hda my harddrive?
[06:25] <Kamping_Kaiser> satafterh: its your primary master device
[06:25] <Kamping_Kaiser> it could be a hdd or a cdrom
[06:26] <satafterh> #Kamping_Kaiser cd?? i have this info geometry     = 19457/255/63, sectors = 312581808, start = 0
[06:26] <satafterh> hd?
[06:26] <Kamping_Kaiser> then yes, thats your hard drive
[06:26] <Kamping_Kaiser> my hard drive is hdb
[06:27] <satafterh> #Kamping_Kaiser- any reson for the differance between sysstems?
[06:27] <Juerd> Kamping_Kaiser: Because hdd is the secondary slave, I recommend using "hd" instea :)
[06:27] <Juerd> instead
[06:28] <satafterh> you have 2 harddrive?
[06:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> Juerd: my hdd died, i can only boot it primary slave :)
[06:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> it used tobe primary master :O
[06:28] <endo6O2> raphink
[06:28] <endo6O2> how do i tell whether it changed?
[06:28] <Juerd> satafterh: "keepsettings", when on, resets settings on hardware resets.
[06:28] <Juerd> satafterh: Because hardware resets happen on hardware failures, and these failures can be caused by wrong settings, enabling keepsettings is potentially dangerous.
[06:29] <Juerd> 18:32 < Juerd> satafterh: "keepsettings", when on, resets settings on hardware resets.
[06:29] <Juerd> There, the first resets means: sets again
[06:30] <speedy> somebody here who knows how to get the metabar in konqueror running / visible?
[06:30] <satafterh> dev/hda {
[06:30] <satafterh> 	mult_sect_io = 16
[06:30] <satafterh> 	write_cache = on
[06:30] <satafterh> 	dma = on
[06:30] <Juerd> speedy: Metabar? Is that what you get when you press F9?
[06:31] <Juerd> wie: wie ben jij?
[06:31] <Juerd> (open deur)
[06:31] <satafterh> #Juerd - can you look at these setting for my hd and tell me if there right
[06:31] <wie> hoi ik ben wie 
[06:31] <wie> ehm roltux
[06:31] <wie> hoi zit ik hier in een nederlands talige kubuntu channel
[06:31] <Juerd> satafterh: Whether they are right depends on your hard drive. For most modern hard drives, they're fine.
[06:31] <Juerd> wie: No
[06:32] <_mariux> schipper mag ich overfaren ja of nei
[06:32] <wie> kee i understand but you are dutch 
[06:32] <Juerd> wie: But this question wouldn't be as funny in English :)
[06:32] <Juerd> I'm Dutch, yes
[06:32] <wie> ehm Juerd could i ask you something 
[06:32] <Juerd> wie: Yes
[06:33] <wie> ehm kee i just installed kubuntu but nowhere it ask me to supply the root password 
[06:33] <raphink> det is niet een nerderlandse channel ;)
[06:33] <raphink> hehe
[06:33] <wie> lol 
[06:33] <Juerd> wie: It does not use a root password.
[06:33] <wie> why not 
[06:33] <Juerd> wie: You can set one, but are advised not to do so
[06:33] <wie> how do i become root 
[06:33] <raphink> alsjeblift spreken in english
[06:34] <_mariux> sudo commando
[06:34] <Juerd> wie: sudo command 
[06:34] <raphink> lol
[06:34] <raphink> j/k
[06:34] <Juerd> wie: That runs command as root
[06:34] <Juerd> wie: If you need a root shell, run: sudo bash
[06:34] <Juerd> wie: sudo asks for a password. Type your own password.
[06:34] <Juerd> wie: It will give you access for 15 minutes.
[06:34] <wie> kee cool system 
[06:34] <wie> well its been a long time since i have used linu 
[06:35] <Juerd> wie: It's usually better to use single commands as root
[06:35] <wie> but things turned pretty good i must say 
[06:35] <Ben_UK> Hi.  Has anyone else had trouble gettings khotkeys to work (in Breezy)?
[06:35] <speedy> juerd: ah there it is, kewl - I did'nt know that you can activate it with F9, where I find it in the menu (did'nt found it there)?
[06:35] <Juerd> speedy: It was removed from the menu.
[06:35] <speedy> juerd: why? *wondering*
[06:36] <_mariux> Why does not this work? The folder /mnt/samba gets "no permissions" even when i run "sudo ls /mnt/samba".....  sudo smbmount //192.168.0.2/media /mnt/samba -o username=mariux,password=,uid=mariux,rw
[06:36] <Juerd> speedy: I do not know.
[06:36] <_mariux> i'vr tried it in konqueror and the ip, username and pass should work
[06:36] <_mariux> i just want to mount it so that every app can use it and not just kde
[06:37] <speedy> juerd: ok, thx - I will be back soon, ciao
[06:37] <Juerd> speedy: Bye
[06:38] <wie> brb 
[06:41] <lippel__> hi. anyone using kde 3.5 beta2 packages?
[06:46] <Ben_UK> Hi.  Anyone able to report khotkeys working (or not!) on Breezy?
[06:58] <_mariux> sure it works
[07:06] <Java_the_Hutt> How can i install Java SDK 1.5 ?
[07:10] <Sonny_Wertzik> hello.
[07:10] <Sonny_Wertzik> Does anyone know what the name of the login screen config file is called in KDE? I need to edit the resolution, its to big.
[07:11] <whoiam55> Sonny_Wertzik: type dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg 
[07:12] <Sonny_Wertzik> whoiam55, ya i was gonna do that as a last resort
[07:12] <whoiam55> ok then edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[07:12] <whoiam55> but using dpkg is easy
[07:12] <whoiam55> in my thinking :P
[07:13] <Sonny_Wertzik> whoiam55, which line controls the login screen only
[07:13] <whoiam55> I don't know what you mean, 
[07:13] <kkathman> hello all :)
[07:13] <Sonny_Wertzik> hi
[07:14] <kkathman> how are things going with everyone?
[07:14] <whoiam55> is your login resolution is differ from your desktop resolution ?
[07:14] <whoiam55> anyone know how can I restart my network so I can get IP from DHCP server ?
[07:15] <Sonny_Wertzik> whoiam55, there are resolution variable for each depth but i dont see anything in xorg for login scrren resolution...just desktop resolutions
[07:15] <Sonny_Wertzik> whoiam55, ya my res is diff than my desktop
[07:15] <kkathman> Sonny_Wertzik: thats right...only one
[07:15] <Sonny_Wertzik> my res is diff than my desktop
[07:15] <kkathman> the console resolution is always the same I think
[07:15] <symbulos> hi there
[07:15] <Sonny_Wertzik> kkathman, hehe i wish hehe
[07:16] <kkathman> then when you invoke X and the GUI manager, that sets your screen resolution much the same way Windows does.
[07:16] <Sonny_Wertzik> in fact i dont even have that choice res in desktop
[07:16] <symbulos> does anyone have an idea where we can find the very first Ubuntu wallpaper? 
[07:16] <kkathman> Yes you should have that setting in your KDE 
[07:17] <whoiam55> anyone know how can I restart my network so I can get IP from DHCP server ?
[07:17] <kkathman> whoiam55: Have you just tried rebooting?
[07:18] <Sonny_Wertzik> kkathman, i mean the lgin is 1800x1440   that doesnt exist  for a desktop res in my KDE display selections
[07:18] <whoiam55> kkathman: I don't want to reboot :( that's the problem
[07:18] <whoiam55> it's silly to reboot if I forgot to connect cable to my laptop
[07:19] <kkathman> !tell whoiam55 about network-manager
[07:19] <kkathman> check that PM whoiam55 see if that helps
[07:19] <Java_the_Hutt> How can i enable multiverse ?
[07:19] <whoiam55> kkathman: lemme check
[07:19] <whoiam55> Java_the_Hutt: you are in breezy ?
[07:19] <Java_the_Hutt> yes
[07:20] <whoiam55> multiverse for breezy are not up yet
[07:20] <whoiam55> :(
[07:20] <kkathman> Java_the_Hutt: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file
[07:20] <kkathman> whoiam55: yes they are
[07:20] <Java_the_Hutt> kkathman:  ok i know that but what is the address
[07:20] <whoiam55> :-0
[07:20] <whoiam55> kkathman: can you share your repo add ?
[07:20] <kkathman> !tell Java_the_Hutt about repos
[07:20] <kkathman> sure 1 sec
[07:20] <Sonny_Wertzik> Java_the_Hutt, u can open the repo list i package manager ,,right click themultiverse and select enable
[07:21] <Java_the_Hutt> Sonny with Adept ?
[07:21] <Sonny_Wertzik> ya
[07:21] <Sonny_Wertzik> i just did it
[07:21] <Sonny_Wertzik> last night
[07:21] <Java_the_Hutt> i did not see something related with multiverse
[07:21] <Sonny_Wertzik> Java_the_Hutt, 1 sec ill look
[07:22] <Java_the_Hutt> i mean the only multi verse line is this " #deb-src http://tr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main restricted universe multiverse"
[07:22] <Java_the_Hutt> which is not working since this is a backbort
[07:22] <Java_the_Hutt> backport
[07:22] <kkathman> deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main universe multiverse restricted
[07:22] <kkathman> deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main universe multiverse restricted
[07:22] <Java_the_Hutt> does it matter if i use Kubuntu or ubuntu ?
[07:23] <kkathman> always use ubuntu
[07:23] <Java_the_Hutt> why ?
[07:23] <Sonny_Wertzik> Java_the_Hutt, ya u are right sorry
[07:23] <helpme> kkathman: why?:)...kubuntu??
[07:23] <kkathman> helpme: just what Ive been told and what I've done now since warty and never had a problem,. suit yourself
[07:24] <Java_the_Hutt> i have used ubuntu alot without any problems, except one thing
[07:24] <Java_the_Hutt> it doesn't suppot a Turkish letter correctly
[07:24] <Java_the_Hutt> support
[07:24] <helpme> kkathman: hey cool dude...i love ubuntu too:)
[07:25] <kkathman> Java_the_Hutt: you might feed that back to the developers..and see if you can get others in Turkey to do the same
[07:25] <Java_the_Hutt> i reported the bug ,to bugzilla 2 months ago, no one is interested and in breezy Turkish keyboard support was worse
[07:25] <Java_the_Hutt> kkathman: i did, i have posted the bug to bugzilla
[07:25] <Java_the_Hutt> kkathman: no one interested in
[07:25] <kkathman> Java_the_Hutt: like alot of things,  there is a critical mass for these things.
[07:25] <Java_the_Hutt> kubuntu doesn't have that bug
[07:25] <helpme> kkathman: kubuntu is nice tooooo
[07:26] <helpme> but aint ubuntu and kubuntu the same thing, except for gnome & kde???
[07:26] <Kamping_Kaiser> basicly yes
[07:26] <Java_the_Hutt> anyway what shhould i do to add multiverse to my kubuntu
[07:27] <Java_the_Hutt> repos are same for kubuntu and ubuntu ?
[07:27] <Kamping_Kaiser> yes they ar3e
[07:27] <helpme> yes
[07:27] <Java_the_Hutt> ok that's what i would like to hear thanks
[07:28] <Sonny_Wertzik> i just moved from gnome to KDE with breezy cause gnome got to be a pain with all the security
[07:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> 'all the security'?
[07:29] <helpme> ok one quiz: which is faster & better? ubuntu or kubuntu?
[07:29] <Sonny_Wertzik> Kamping_Kaiser, ya i was locked out of simple stuff like setting icons.... i got frustrated with it
[07:29] <Kamping_Kaiser> hm strange.
[07:29] <endo602> can someone please help me here
[07:29] <endo602> will renaming a file?
[07:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> endo602: in a terminal or the gui?
[07:30] <endo602> terminal
[07:30] <endo602> its tricky
[07:31] <endo602> i need to change something in /etc/rc2.d
[07:31] <Sonny_Wertzik> this new Adept PM makes a good difference in KDE
[07:31] <Kamping_Kaiser> endo602: just mv it
[07:32] <Java_the_Hutt> endo602: mv old_name new_name
[07:32] <endo602> tried that
[07:32] <endo602> not working
[07:32] <Java_the_Hutt> what does it say ?
[07:32] <Java_the_Hutt> should also sudo
[07:32] <Kamping_Kaiser> remember sudo
[07:33] <Java_the_Hutt> endo602: sudo mv old_name new_name
[07:33] <Kamping_Kaiser> as your working in rc2
[07:33] <endo602> i know
[07:33] <endo602> i did that
[07:33] <Java_the_Hutt> what is the error ?
[07:33] <kkathman> Sonny_Wertzik: yes I like Adept alot !
[07:34] <endo602> mv: when moving multiple files, last argument must be directory
[07:34] <Java_the_Hutt> mutliple files ?
[07:34] <Java_the_Hutt> what are you writing in the console exaclty ?
[07:35] <Java_the_Hutt> are you sure that you are mv a file not a directory ?
[07:36] <endo602> got it
[07:37] <Sonny_Wertzik> kkathman, ya i thought ksynaptic was terrible thats why 1 reason why i used gnome was using 
[07:37] <endo602> thanks guys
[07:38] <kkathman> kynaptic wasnt all that bad...but I'm still an apt-get kind of guy anyway
[07:38] <endo602> has anyone used a usb flash drive on their system?
[07:38] <Java_the_Hutt> what is the most annoying issue you encounter in Kubuntu ?
[07:38] <endo602> because it doesnt work here
[07:39] <Kamping_Kaiser> endo602: its been not working for a lot of ppl
[07:39] <endo602> hehe
[07:39] <endo602> has anyone found a fix for it?
[07:40] <Sonny_Wertzik> kkathman, ya i like auto apt and apt-get and checkinstall...ubuntu rules
[07:40] <Kamping_Kaiser> not sure.all i know is its not working :|
[07:42] <Ben_UK> USB flash drives work for me
[07:42] <Java_the_Hutt> what is the most annoying issue you encounter in Kubuntu ?
[07:42] <Sonny_Wertzik> adept is more like synaptic in gnome its a big improvement imo...im getting hooked on KDE
[07:43] <Ben_UK> endo602: you could look in logs to see how far things go when you plug one in.
[07:43] <Sonny_Wertzik> Java_the_Hutt, i think KDE has so many menus and they are scattered all over the place..until u get used to that it takes some time to get KDE working the way u want
[07:44] <Sonny_Wertzik> Java_the_Hutt, thats just my opinion coming from using gnome
[07:45] <Java_the_Hutt> BTW when i type fakeroot make-jpgk jdk...   i got the following error
[07:45] <helpme> is kubutnu faster than ubutnu?
[07:45] <Java_the_Hutt> fakeroot: line make-jpgk command not found
[07:45] <Java_the_Hutt> fakeroot: line 150: make-jpgk command not found
[07:45] <Sonny_Wertzik> Java_the_Hutt, also amarok and noatun need certain files that dont come preloaded so they dont work right away
[07:45] <Ben_UK> Hope you don't mind my asking again: anyone know any issues with khotkeys?  It seems to be not working at all for me.
[07:46] <Java_the_Hutt> why is that so
[07:46] <Java_the_Hutt> i mean i have written : sudo apt-get install fakeroot java-package
[07:46] <Sonny_Wertzik> helpme, speed wise,i think they are close in breezy
[07:46] <Java_the_Hutt> then this fakeroot make-jpkg downloaded_package_name.bin
[07:46] <Sonny_Wertzik> helpme, gnome may be a hair faster
[07:47] <helpme> Sonny_Wertzik: hmm i see
[07:47] <Sonny_Wertzik> helpme, i was actually suprised that KDE is as fast as it is...i just switched from gnome 2 days ago
[07:48] <asraniel>  hi, i need some quik help. acpi is bogus on my laptop, how can i make that linux doesent shutdown if the temperature is too high? linux thinks my laptop is at 144 celsius...
[07:48] <helpme> Sonny_Wertzik: yeah ive also always heard that gnome is 10x faster than kde.......
[07:48] <Sonny_Wertzik> helpme, BTW im running an AMD64 3000+ @ 2600 mhz
[07:49] <helpme> Sonny_Wertzik: thats why im also thinking of going to gnome.....ur RAM???
[07:49] <Sonny_Wertzik> helpme, maybe it was until this new version of KDE...i dont know
[07:49] <helpme> Sonny_Wertzik: yes maybe....whats ur RAM btw?
[07:49] <Ben_UK> asraniel: That is normally coded into the ACPI tables.
[07:49] <Sonny_Wertzik> helpme, Gskill 4400LC 1gb...u want my timings hehe?
[07:50] <Kamping_Kaiser> ngith all
[07:50] <helpme> Sonny_Wertzik: yes..if u can give:).......ive 256mb only:(......so kde is real slow....im on kanotix btw..waiting for the ubuntu cds:)
[07:50] <asraniel> asraniel: i just installed a new DSDT, now i have everything that works, but at the second reboot (well, after i put the laptop in hybernation and it didnt work..), on boot he shut down because a temperature that is too high
[07:50] <helpme> Kamping_Kaiser: goodnight
[07:50] <Kamping_Kaiser> :)
[07:51] <asraniel> asraniel: what can i do?
[07:51] <Ben_UK> asraniel: If you are lucky, you might have a writable /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/ATF0/trip_points file.
[07:51] <Sonny_Wertzik> helpme, my timings wont help u unless u have the same ram hehe
[07:51] <Ben_UK> but most broken DSDT (i.e. ACPI tables) don't allow trip points to be set.
[07:51] <Sonny_Wertzik> helpme, 256mb is pretty low
[07:51] <helpme> Sonny_Wertzik: hmm..right:)

[07:55] <Java_the_Hutt> After installing JDK, when i type sudo update-alternatives --config java, i have 2 alternatives, neither are my desired installation what should i do ?
[07:55] <asraniel> Ben_UK, last question, how can i see the if the dynamic cpu frequence works? where can i see the actual cpu speed?
[07:57] <Ben_UK> sudo cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpu_freq/scaling_curfreq
[07:57] <Ben_UK> (unless I've miss typed!)
[07:57] <Ben_UK> Also look at: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/thermal.html
[07:57] <strike4ce> apokryphos_: I need to change my kernel to use the ati driver is this something thats going to be a pain?
[07:58] <strike4ce> apokryphos_: I have the kernel installed on my desktop
[07:59] <libben> how do i ln a target to another target?
[07:59] <libben> ln: `fnutt/images/Resor/Val_Thorens/': hard link not allowed for directory
[07:59] <libben> ln: `.': hard link not allowed for directory
[08:00] <libben> i want to ln a folder to another folder.
[08:00] <kkathman> wow cool I have a chance to get a fiberoptic internet !! Megafast!
[08:01] <dell500> is it possible to have xmms controlled from gaim?
[08:01] <kkathman> from gaim??  I dont think so unless you program it to :)
[08:01] <dell500> aww well
[08:01] <strike4ce> kkathman:  You no anything about installing a new kernel?
[08:01] <shogouki> xmms+gaim on kde, wow
[08:02] <kkathman> strike4ce: Ive never done it sorry
[08:02] <strike4ce> what is xmms?
[08:02] <kkathman> but surely there are support articles on google
[08:09] <libben> Riddell: how do i link one folder to another? 
[08:11] <strike4ce> ] ='
[08:13] <endo6O2> for some reason it will not let me unpack a .deb file

[08:14] <spiral> hi
[08:18] <corincole> hey
[08:18] <corincole> what exactly is kubuntu?
[08:19] <stupendo44> corincole: http://www.kubuntu.org
[08:19] <Java_the_Hutt> Kubuntu is KDE based ubuntu
[08:19] <stupendo44> It's basically Ubuntu with KDE instead of Gnome
[08:20] <stbain> try it, you'll like it
[08:20] <Java_the_Hutt> KDE is superior over gnome in functionality but it is less stable
[08:20] <corincole> whats the difference between KDE and Gnome?
[08:20] <Java_the_Hutt> look above :)
[08:20] <buz> is there a way to downgrade my misbehaving kde  3.5b2 to kde 3.4.3?
[08:20] <sampan> kde is nice and gnome is like wearing a straightjacket
[08:20] <stupendo44> lol, sampan 
[08:20] <buz> any chance to get it done with apt-pinning?
[08:20] <sampan> :X
[08:21] <Java_the_Hutt> buz: i was there i re installed my kubuntu
[08:21] <buz> i just did that the other week after my boot drive had failed
[08:21] <buz> no time now
[08:21] <Java_the_Hutt> Today i was discussing, that how pity kubuntu website encourages people for 3.5
[08:21] <buz> 3.5b1 was fine
[08:21] <buz> b2 is a catastrophe
[08:21] <Java_the_Hutt> no
[08:21] <Java_the_Hutt> only sound is a matter
[08:22] <Java_the_Hutt> rest of it should work fine with minor shortcomings
[08:22] <buz> and quite a few others listed on the problems page
[08:22] <stupendo44> corincole: http://www.oreillynet.com/cs/user/view/cs_msg/56829
[08:22] <buz> amarok doesnt even start for me
[08:22] <Java_the_Hutt> yeah may be, but i have met people who are happy with their KDE 3.5
[08:22] <stupendo44> corincole: http://www.uselinuxathome.com/ENgui.htm
[08:23] <Java_the_Hutt> but i have gone back to 3.4
[08:23] <unsurreal> buz: are there any amarokapp 's running?
[08:23] <stupendo44> corincole: that should give you some info on the differences between kde and gnome
[08:23] <buz> no
[08:23] <buz> even after reboot it still crashes
[08:23] <Java_the_Hutt> smells likie flame wars
[08:23] <Java_the_Hutt> Any eclipse user here ? How does it look like, gnomish or KDEish
[08:23] <wu-hsin> i've trouble with trying to get kubuntu to stream .pls
[08:24] <wu-hsin> XMMS won't react to an URL
[08:24] <buz> Java_the_Hutt: swt uses gtk
[08:24] <buz> so it looks gnomish
[08:24] <wu-hsin> Konqueror crashes
[08:24] <buz> however, gtk-qt fixes that quite well
[08:24] <johndilley> corincole: a more light-heared comparison at http://www.illusionary.com/GNOMEvKDE.html :)
[08:24] <Java_the_Hutt> but i swear i saw my Eclipse look like KDE, but i have re installed now it looks like GNOME
[08:24] <wu-hsin> is this kind of problem familiar here?
[08:24] <buz> gtk-qt not working, i'd gues
[08:25] <buz> it was always a "gtk app"
[08:25] <buz> (SWT is implemented in GTK for linux)$
[08:25] <Java_the_Hutt> i know that
[08:25] <Java_the_Hutt> but i saw my eclipse looking like gnome
[08:25] <Java_the_Hutt> no
[08:25] <Java_the_Hutt> like kde
[08:26] <buz> !gtk-qt
[08:26] <ubotu> Install the gtk2-engines-gtk-qt package to make your GTK apps more bearable in KDE. Apply settings in KControl, and restart GTK apps.
[08:27] <wu-hsin> surprise, mplayer streams without a problem
[08:28] <buz> are there any news on oo2 final debs?
[08:28] <Java_the_Hutt> ok  thanks
[08:29] <chavo> buz, afaik there's no difference between RC3 and final
[08:29] <Java_the_Hutt> buz: already installed
[08:29] <buz> that makes it look quite qt'ish to me
[08:30] <jjesse> how do i setup kubuntu to boot directly to the terminal and not start kde?
[08:31] <stupendo44> is it just me, or does breezy look a tiny bit unfinished in some places
[08:31] <stupendo44> just wondering why there's some low-res icons floating around and stuff
[08:31] <aftertaf> jjesse, you stop kdm from running, by removing it from init.d
[08:32] <aftertaf> jjesse, sudo update-rc.d -f kdm remove
[08:32] <jjesse> aftertaf: thanks
[08:32] <_david> I just downloaded a BUNCH of updates today - is there anywhere I can find info on what was updated???
[08:33] <aftertaf> no idea...
[08:33] <frank23> _david: synaptic can show the changelogs before you update. I don't know about after
[08:33] <K-Rich> hi all... i decided to try out the kubuntu-desktop package... but i've decided to get rid of it because of space concerns... when i try to apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop it only wants to remove the meta-package.... how do i do this?
[08:33] <aftertaf> K-Rich, remove kde
[08:33] <_david> Is there a forum or update website I can look at?
[08:34] <aftertaf> open synaptic and search 'kde' remove all that doesnt want to remove other usefu things from your system.
[08:34] <K-Rich> okay... thanks
[08:35] <stupendo44> _david: nope, there's no websites or forums... anywhere...
[08:35] <K-Rich> if all else fails i'll just reinstall since i havn't completely restored my backup :P
[08:36] <_david> So I just unstall updates blindly?
[08:37] <stupendo44> I'm really getting used to this middle-click-paste thing. Too bad Windows doesn't have this :)
[08:37] <stbain> believe it or not, I think there's a powertoy that enables it on win32
[08:39] <stupendo44> really
[08:39] <stupendo44> and how long has it been in linux...?
[08:40] <workingmansdead> Could someone please explain how to convert a SHN file to a mp3 file using the SHN tool?
[08:40] <endo6O2> where do i change system default applications
[08:40] <endo6O2> like from konqurer to firefox
[08:40] <endo6O2> ?
[08:42] <johndilley> System Settings -> User Account -> Default Applications
[08:43] <richardc> any idea when the commented repositiories in sources.list will work?
[08:43] <endo6O2> thanks
[08:43] <richardc> apt gets a 404 from them
[08:44] <amigrave> has kvim been removed on breezy ?
[08:44] <libben> whats the other name of vnc sorta app that was more amazing =)
[08:46] <DaSkreech> Base has serious SQL issues
[08:49] <workingmansdead> can anyone help me with converting SHN files to mp3 files?
[08:50] <jjarvenp> hi, how can i boot my mac mini with the kubuntu live CD?
[08:51] <DaSkreech> Turn on the mac
[08:51] <poimen> hi
[08:51] <poimen> someone here can help me with ivtv and breezy?
[08:52] <poimen> while compiling the module I get this error a lot ivtvctl.c:655: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function sprintf
[08:52] <wu-hsin> is there any solution around avifiles going off-sync with their audio track in mplayer?

[08:53] <hussam> what's a good kde based bittorrent client?
[08:53] <stbain> azureus
[08:53] <stbain> well... it's java, not kde, but it works great
[08:53] <icewt> yeah, azureus is the best
[08:53] <sampan> ktorrent is out 1.1 or 1.2 -- haven't tried it but installed the .deb and it looks good
[08:54] <hussam> ok I'll try ktorrent
[09:01] <satafterh> hello people, i need to ask a stupid question that I should know the answer to lol, how do i change the color depth
[09:02] <workingmansdead> hello, can any help me with audio file conversion?
[09:03] <crimsun> what sort?
[09:04] <workingmansdead> crimsun: SHN to mp3 using SHN tool
[09:04] <crimsun> workingmansdead: decode shns to wav, then encode the wavs to mp3
[09:04] <hussam> satafterh: you need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf , look for a line similar to "DefaultDepth	24" or "DefaultDepth	16"
[09:05] <satafterh> #hussam thanks
[09:05] <workingmansdead> crimsun: im not sure how to do that, sorry, im new to linux
[09:07] <crimsun> workingmansdead: in a Konsole, you'd need to run shntool on the shns
[09:08] <workingmansdead> crimsun: whats the command for that?
[09:09] <crimsun> workingmansdead: shntool -h   should bring up a list of options
[09:10] <workingmansdead> crimsun: yes, i get a list of commands such as -m,-f,-v and so on
[09:11] <stupendo44> why is sudo suddenly not asking for a password?
[09:11] <hussam> btw, anybody knows if quake 4 for linux supports single player mode or only multiplayer mode?
[09:11] <crimsun> stupendo44: it shouldn't if you're using the same terminal and haven't expired the auth token manually
[09:12] <crimsun> hussam: that's addressed on the id software Web page for q4/Linux
[09:12] <chavo> sudo doesn't ask me for a password wither
[09:12] <chavo> either
[09:13] <hussam> crimsun: thanks I'm considering buying that game. 
[09:13] <stupendo44> no, I've exited the terminal
[09:13] <stupendo44> then loaded another one
[09:14] <crimsun> stupendo44: that's the same terminal
[09:14] <stupendo44> and synaptic isn't asking for a password either
[09:14] <chavo> yeah, mine deosn't ask even at bootup. I boot into terminal, log in, and run sudo kdm -> doesn't ask for a password
[09:14] <stupendo44> usually if I exit the terminal and start another one it asks for the password again
[09:14] <crimsun> if you log out of /dev/pts/1 and open a new terminal, it's the same terminal, so the auth token doesn't expire
[09:15] <stupendo44> I'm talking about using Konsole, btw
[09:15] <workingmansdead> crimsun: so how would you run the SHNtool through konsole?
[09:17] <crimsun> workingmansdead: sec, I'm at work, and I don't have shntool installed.
[09:18] <workingmansdead> crimsun: alright, 
[09:22] <reagleBRKLN> when i first update kubuntu 5.10 the hal automounting was fantastic, I even had device specific directories in /dev/{usbdisk,MUVO,etc.} but now that's not happening
[09:23] <reagleBRKLN> oh, i'm sorry, that's /media/MUVO
[09:23] <reagleBRKLN> but no more, just sda1 etc.
[09:23] <reagleBRKLN> how do i get that back?
[09:24] <reagleBRKLN> pkgs i could reinstall?
[09:26] <jpgeerets> hi folks
[09:27] <jpgeerets> some around here who can tell me how to chek why mine hd becomes full?
[09:27] <crimsun> did you install into a very small partition?
[09:27] <jpgeerets> used 2 partitions of 20 Gb
[09:28] <jpgeerets> 1 partition system, other /home
[09:28] <crimsun> then you should be fine
[09:28] <jpgeerets>  / home becomes full
[09:28] <crimsun> are you downloading stuff onto /home?
[09:28] <BlankC> jpgeerets: in Konqueror there is a option under View -> ViewMode -> File Size View that can tell you visually where the space is going.
[09:29] <knowerrors> Hi all, I just installed Kubuntu 5.10, but can't connect to the internet by dialup modem... kppp keeps saying no valid password, works fine on other debian install, any ideas to fix?
[09:29] <jpgeerets> hmm, this should be installed on my system BlankC ?
[09:30] <BlankC> Konqueror is the web browser / file manager.
[09:30] <jpgeerets> yes, right
[09:30] <jpgeerets> ok
[09:30] <jpgeerets> great
[09:31] <jpgeerets> i found it!
[09:31] <jpgeerets> thanks!!
[09:32] <Java_the_Hutt> I have a question about OpenOffice writer. The default A4 size with 100% zoom, is not displayed 21 cm width on my screen. IS that the same with you ?
[09:34] <stbain> doesn't that depend on your monitor dimensions and resolution settings?
[09:34] <Java_the_Hutt> Well i am not sure
[09:35] <Java_the_Hutt> But i think if it claims that it is 100% width A4, then size should be realistic
[09:35] <Java_the_Hutt> which is not
[09:36] <buz> it would seem to me that likely the dpi settings of your screen arent entirely correct then
[09:37] <knowerrors> Anybody here using kppp to connect to internet by dialup?
[09:41] <richardc> where can i get the w32codecs package for breezy?
[09:41] <buz> !marillat
[09:41] <ubotu> If you enable the marillat repoistories, please disable them after you use them as needed.
[09:41] <buz> richardc: google for ubuntu marillat
[09:42] <chavo> !w32codecs
[09:42] <ubotu> w32codecs is a set of audio/video codecs for DVD-Video. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats deb to download: http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy)
[09:42] <dell500> anyone know how to get the resolutions for dual heads to fit the monitors correctly?
[09:42] <buz> dell500: i never managed to get it to actually work with different resolutions
[09:42] <dell500> that sucks
[09:42] <dell500> i really dislike the scrolling
[09:42] <buz> finally decided to buy another 20" lcd when i really need to go dual head again
[09:42] <dell500> lol
[09:42] <buz> the 17" one sucks anyway
[09:43] <dell500> ya
[09:43] <buz> makes weird noises
[09:43] <dell500> brb
[09:43] <dell500> if i do ctrl+alt+backspace that quits out of x, correct?
[09:43] <johndilley> yes
[09:43] <buz> yes
[09:44] <buz> usually x instantly restarts though
[09:44] <dell500> how do i start x back up
[09:44] <buz> (if you have x set to load upon boot that is)
[09:44] <johndilley> if kdm/gdm is running, it should restart
[09:44] <dell500> is the command startx
[09:45] <buz> dell500: yes
[09:45] <dell500> even for gnome?
[09:45] <chavo> dell500, startx will run whatecer is in your ~/.xinitrc
[09:45] <dell500> k
[09:53] <_robert> I've question about the pmount in kubuntu. how to I umount it? its automaticly mounted, but async and not sync
[10:00] <knowerrors> Any dialup modem users around?
[10:01] <endo602> not i
[10:01] <endo602> anyone install moodin?
[10:01] <_robert> I've question about the pmount in kubuntu. how to I umount it? its automaticly mounted, but async and not sync
[10:02] <endo602> anyone figue out the USB flash drives yet?
[10:02] <endo602> :)
[10:02] <buz> usb hd works like a charm
[10:02] <buz> should use the same driver no?
[10:03] <_robert> the dirve is working here, but how to I unmount it?
[10:03] <buz> what drive
[10:03] <_robert> the security remove in media://
[10:03] <_robert> usb oder firewire
[10:03] <buz> ah i generally just unplug ;)
[10:03] <_robert> oder ? or
[10:03] <buz> but safe that ain't
[10:03] <_robert> but the fs is mounted async and not sync
[10:04] <buz> what does mount show?
[10:04] <_robert> ./dev/sda5 on /media/robert_firewire1 type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
[10:04] <buz> try umount /dev/sda5 
[10:05] <buz> or umount /media/robert_firewire1
[10:05] <_robert> as root thats no problem but not as user
[10:05] <_robert> as its not in fstab
[10:05] <buz> sudo umount then ;)
[10:05] <_robert> I know
[10:05] <_robert> but that can't be the normal way
[10:33] <jiger> hello everyone. can someone help me setup sudo on breezy
[10:35] <_judith> where can I configure anti-aliasing?
[10:36] <dinocore> anyone know if konqueror has plans to switch to geko engine?
[10:37] <dida> hi
[10:38] <toma> dinocore: not in the foreseeable future
[10:39] <toma> _judith: in the font settings
[10:40] <dinocore> toma: ah thanks
[10:41] <dinocore> alright new quesiont
[10:42] <jiger> can someone help me recover su and sudo?
[10:42] <Juerd> jiger: What do you mean by "recover"/
[10:42] <dinocore> can i update to breezy using knaptic?
[10:42] <Juerd> jiger: What do you mean by "recover"?
[10:42] <Juerd> dinocore: Indirectly
[10:42] <dinocore> how?
[10:42] <jiger> actually did a expert setup and had setup root user/passwd
[10:43] <Juerd> dinocore: First, change /etc/apt/sources.list so that everywhere it says "hoary", it will say "breezy"
[10:43] <dinocore> Juerd: and then update?
[10:43] <Juerd> dinocore: Then, with kynaptic, update and upgrade as usual
[10:43] <dinocore> Juerd: word
[10:43] <jiger> but sudo didn't work. somehow feeling as if I was missing something. I read somewhere to disable su by running passwd -l root
[10:43] <Juerd> dinocore: Be warned that it's less risky to do this from the console
[10:43] <Juerd> dinocore: (console, not konsole)
[10:43] <jiger> now sudo and su both are screwed up coz both dont work :(
[10:44] <dinocore> Juerd: why is that?
[10:44] <Juerd> jiger: Boot in recovery mode, then add to /etc/sudoers the line "%admin  ALL=(ALL) ALL" if it is not already there
[10:44] <Juerd> jiger: Then, add yourself to "admin" in /etc/group
[10:45] <Juerd> dinocore: KDE tends to crash and behave in weird ways when you upgrade it while it is running.
[10:45] <_judith> toma: can't find anything like anti-aliasing there!
[10:45] <Juerd> dinocore: So it is better to log out, then switch to a tty, and then upgrade
[10:45] <dinocore> Juerd: alright cool
[10:45] <kkathman> I wonder if someone could help me troubleshoot a network problem?
[10:46] <dinocore> Juerd: alright im doin it
[10:46] <Juerd> kkathman: Describe the problem
[10:46] <Juerd> kkathman: You'll find out if anyone can help you
[10:46] <dinocore> breezy here i come
[10:47] <kkathman> Juerd well, I had a power outage briefly which shut down my computer. When I brought the computer back up it is reporting it cannot find the network
[10:47] <_judith> How do I handle this error? "C compiler cannot create executables"
[10:47] <kkathman> Juerd it has worked flawlessly before. and Ive done all the obvious things...check the hub port, and connection
[10:47] <dinocore> oh wait
[10:47] <dinocore> where can i found the apt-sources list?
[10:48] <kkathman> Juerd other computers on the network have no problems, only this one, and the green light in the back on the card interface is blinking as normal
[10:48] <Juerd> kkathman: "reporting that"... How? Error message?
[10:48] <Juerd> dinocore: /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:48] <toma> kkathman: try shutting down the computer, disconnect it from the powersupply and plug it in again and reboot
[10:49] <dinocore> right
[10:49] <kkathman> Juerd during boot, it hangs on the step after getting an OK on the network interface card..but when it tries to connect it fails and gives several errors, including SMB errors
[10:49] <Juerd> kkathman: Have you recently upgraded?
[10:50] <kkathman> Juerd when I go into the system settings,  it says "disabled Ethernet device"
[10:50] <kkathman> Juerd yes I upgraded last week, but the network has worked flawlessly since then
[10:50] <Juerd> kkathman: Can you enable the ethernet device?
[10:50] <kkathman> of course, in the breezy kubuntu, Juerd, you cant get to administrator mode because of a bug
[10:50] <Juerd> kkathman: What happens if you do "ifup eth0" in a terminal?
[10:51] <kkathman> one moment and I'll let you know Juerd
[10:51] <kkathman> Juerd it says "Failed to open statefile /etc/network/run/ifstate, permission denied

[11:07] <knowerrors> can anybody help me with kppp not recognizing password?
[11:08] <Aapzak> is there a # in your password?
[11:08] <knowerrors> nope
[11:09] <Aapzak> what does kppp btw?
[11:09] <knowerrors> and this exact same kppp setup worked fine on my old debian install, and the one Im using now
[11:09] <knowerrors> its for dialup internet using modem
[11:09] <_judith> How do I handle this error? "C compiler cannot create executables". I am trying to install amarok from source
[11:10] <Aapzak> knowerrors: it forgets you password?
[11:10] <crimsun> err, does the amarok in Breezy not suffice?
[11:10] <knowerrors> Aapzak: no, the password is save/stays, but on connect after dialing, it says in the error log something like no valid or usable password available
[11:12] <Aapzak> knowerrors: sounds like a weird bug
[11:12] <Aapzak> have you checked out the bug lists?
[11:12] <knowerrors> Im trying to find out if its just on my install/modem, or if other people have same problem
[11:12] <knowerrors> where is the bug list?
[11:14] <eckhart> hi
[11:16] <eckhart> every time i start kde kgpg tells me that gpg-agent is not running
[11:16] <libben> is there a way to see/check all my links? "ln" that is 
[11:17] <eckhart> how can i fix that problem?
[11:22] <Aapzak> lol, I'm getting the Kubuntu image through torrent. 1.4 MB/sec, bloody fast server
[11:23] <Aapzak> knowerrors: bugs.kde.org?
[11:23] <knowerrors> can someone running kubuntu 5.10 type dpkg -l kppp for me?
[11:23] <knowerrors> I need to know what version of kppp it uses
[11:24] <Aapzak> I'm not running Kubuntu, sry
[11:24] <knowerrors> Aapzak: Im using kde 3.4.2 on another debian HD right now and kppp is fine
[11:24] <Aapzak> allright, dunno much about that stuff, sry
[11:27] <wie> hy everybody i want to install mplayer 
[11:27] <wie> but its not in the lists of kubuntu 
[11:27] <wie> how should i install it 
[11:30] <SigmaX> wie: download the source from www4.mplayer.hu
[11:30] <SigmaX> I just installed in myself half an hour ago
[11:31] <SigmaX> You'll need to apt-get install gcc-3.4 && CC=exportgcc-3.4
[11:31] <SigmaX> Because mplayer can't be complied with gcc 4, Ubuntu's default
[11:32] <SigmaX> CC=export gcc-3.4  *
[11:32] <SigmaX> They don't include it in the Kubuntu/Ubuntu archives because it's technically illegal in some countries.
[11:34] <SigmaX> knowerrors: kpp 3.4.3
[11:34] <knowerrors> thx, thats the problem... my debain right now is using 3.4.2-3 which works fine
[11:41] <knowerrors> think I found the answer, crazy http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=27782&highlight=kppp+password
[11:42] <skiy> May I start by saying what a fantastic job you've done with kubuntu
[11:42] <skiy> It really is superb!!!
[11:43] <skiy> I have a question though and I didn't know where to ask
[11:43] <skiy> I updated my hoary to breezy
[11:43] <skiy> and now kaffeine has stopped working
[11:44] <skiy> it say "Can't init Video Driver 'xvimagesink' - trying another one..."
[11:44] <skiy> No useable video-driver found! (xvimagesink)
[11:51] <ToyMan> anyone know where I might find (K)ubuntu repositories that have python2.6.1?
[11:55] <ToyMan> that's wxpython 2.6, actually
