[12:06] <_mort> helo
[12:08] <izigo> umm
[12:08] <izigo> what is this channel about?
[12:08] <izigo> is it about kde for ubuntu?
[12:09] <_mort> it's about kubuntu, I suppose
[12:09] <nalioth> izigo: it is about kubuntu
[12:09] <nalioth> !kubuntu
[12:09] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu+KDE, not a fork ; see http://kubuntu.org and you can go to #kubuntu for KDE-related help, or install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ; ISOs: http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/breezy/
[12:09] <izigo> so its about ubuntu with kde?
[12:09] <izigo> reading the site ;)
[12:09] <hydrogen> kde 3.5 seems to break kdevelop :/
[12:09] <izigo> the first line there seemed to explain it.

[12:50] <_fred> hi everybody
[12:51] <SbCl3> i installed breezy, and i'm wondering how i get kaffeine to play using the xine engine
[12:51] <icewt> have you installed kaffeine-xine ?
[12:51] <SbCl3> ah, no i haven't
[12:51] <SbCl3> thankyou
[12:53] <troth> does anyone know how to manually eenter a url in ktorrent or select the program in the "open with" box?
[12:53] <bitland> hello
[12:53] <bitland> big distro ;-)
[12:53] <SbCl3> i still can't figure out how to use xine instead of gstreamer :/
[12:54] <Armagguedes> anyone here  uses skype?
[12:54] <icewt> SbCl3: settings -> player engine in kaffeine
[12:55] <swaty> Buenas., como se llama el GDesktlep pero para KDE ??
[12:55] <Armagguedes> i downloaded the latest version, but it asks for libqt3c102-mt, and i cant find these on the repositories
[12:55] <Armagguedes> any clues
[12:56] <icewt> Armagguedes: try using http://skype.com/go/getskype-linux-static
[12:56] <nalioth> !es
[12:56] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[12:56] <nalioth> swaty: superkarambe
[12:56] <nalioth> swaty: superkaramba
[12:56] <nalioth> mi disculpa
[12:57] <swaty> nalioth: yo tengo eso.. pero ese no es para la barra de informacion?
[12:58] <manolista> ostras espaoles
[12:58] <nalioth> swaty: yo habla poquito espanol, http://netdragon.sourceforge.net/ssuperkaramba.html
[12:58] <manolista> una preguntita, a vosotros se os cuelga el sistema al activar renderaccel?
[12:59] <manolista> ok ubotu 
[12:59] <Armagguedes> icewt what is the difference?
[12:59] <icewt> Armagguedes: it has qt compiled in
[12:59] <nalioth> esta canal de espaol aqui >>> #ubuntu-es
[12:59] <Armagguedes> by the way, how long does it take for the repositories to be updated? it's been a week since OOo2final has been released, and i still only see in the Repos the 1.9.129 version
[12:59] <Armagguedes> icewt ok tks
[01:00] <nalioth> Armagguedes: backports will likely be the first you see of oOo2
[01:00] <nalioth> and that is a a few weeks off
[01:01] <Armagguedes> pardon my ignoransse, what is a backport
[01:01] <nalioth> Armagguedes: dapper drake is the next version of ubuntu. they will back port programs that will be included in dapper for use on breezy badger (our current distro)
[01:02] <Armagguedes> hm ok
[01:02] <nalioth> ubuntu doesnt continually add pkgs once it 'freezes'. it has a 6 month release schedule and once a pkg version is accepted, nothing but security fixes come after that
[01:04] <Armagguedes> oh i see. i thought that as packages got updated the Ub. team would do the necessary work and update the repos
[01:04] <Armagguedes> ok fair enough
[01:05] <troth> does anyone here use ktorrent?
[01:05] <Armagguedes> icewt how do i install that skype version?
[01:05] <Armagguedes> i see no shell script
[01:06] <nalioth> troth: i have used it, and find it buggy
[01:07] <icewt> Armagguedes: just unpack it and run the skype file in it
[01:07] <Armagguedes> ah ok tks
[01:07] <troth> nalioth: how do you choose it for "open with" or how do i manually enter a url in it?
[01:07] <Armagguedes> i'll drag that into /opt/ and linkit then
[01:07] <Armagguedes> tks
[01:08] <nalioth> troth: to make a torrent from local data? i have no idea (it is way too buggy for me)
[01:08] <troth> nalioth: weel what do you use, btw
[01:08] <nalioth> i use "gnu screen" + console bittornado
[01:09] <troth> i see
[01:09] <swaty> nalioth: Thanks, no problem, i speak english lot
[01:10] <nalioth> troth: you can use bittornado-gui, if you wish (it's python, so it runs well anywhere)
[01:10] <gnomefreak> did they release kdevelop4 for kubuntu?
[01:10] <flixor> hoi everybody 
[01:11] <flixor> kkathman: man this kubuntu rocks 
[01:11] <wasp> hello...i just installed kubuntu and i was wondering if anyone can tell me how to access my windows partition as i cant seem to find it anywhere
[01:11] <flixor> everybody works as i want it to be 
[01:11] <troth> nalioth: do i apt-get or synaptic?
[01:11] <flixor> everything i meant 
[01:11] <flixor> :)
[01:11] <_mort> wasp: try /media/hda..
[01:11] <nalioth> troth: whatever you like. (if you are a kubuntu user, use adept (breezy) or kynaptic0
[01:12] <troth> nalioth: are you saying synaptic is no good/
[01:12] <nalioth> troth: i'm saying that for kubuntu, use the kde tools. synaptic is fine, if you like it
[01:13] <wasp> it does not exist
[01:13] <troth> nalioth: k i do have kubuntu breezy
[01:14] <wasp> _mort: any other help you can provide me with???maybe a step by step solution that you can tell where and how?
[01:14] <wasp> please
[01:15] <_mort> open konqueror
[01:15] <wasp> ok
[01:15] <nalioth> troth: go with what you know, adept in kubuntu breezy roX
[01:15] <troth> k
[01:15] <_mort> type in adress bar: /media/
[01:16] <wasp> yes
[01:16] <kevman> Whenever I go to delete a file, I get this error: Could not write to file /home/kevin/.local/share/Trash/info/q.log.trashinfo.
[01:16] <wasp> it has 3cdroms and 2 floppys  from which the 2 are shortcuts
[01:16] <apokryphos> kevman: have you been running GUI apps with sudo?
[01:17] <wasp> apokryphos: where are u from?
[01:17] <_mort> ah, ok
[01:17] <kevman> Uh, yeah, a few.
[01:17] <brunes> does anyone know wher I can get mplayer packages for breezy that work? There are depends problems with the ones at ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/
[01:17] <apokryphos> wasp: London, but I'm Greek.
[01:17] <apokryphos> kevman: you shouldn't
[01:17] <wasp> i thought so
[01:17] <apokryphos> !tell kevman about kdesu
[01:17] <wasp> so am i
[01:17] <apokryphos> cool =). Whereabouts?
[01:17] <nalioth> brunes: you shouldnt use any debian binary repos
[01:17] <wasp> im in bristol now but from athens
[01:17] <kevman> Oh, OK.
[01:17] <_mort> wasp: so U have to mount your windows partitions
[01:18] <brunes> nalioth: Well that was the only one I could find with mplayer... it doesnt work anyway
[01:18] <wasp> mort:how do i do that?
[01:18] <apokryphos> kevman: anyhow, sudo chown -R kevin:kevin /home/kevin
[01:18] <brunes> nalioth: Do you know of an ubuntu one?
[01:18] <nalioth> brunes: join #kubuntu-offtopic and i'll help you
[01:18] <apokryphos> wasp: Cool, Bristol is really nice :). (nearly ended up going there for Uni)
[01:18] <wasp> kalh fah...ti spoudazeis?
[01:19] <kevman> Cool. Thanks.
[01:19] <brunes> nalioth: joined
[01:19] <_mort> wasp: http://elsheikhmh.20m.com/mount-mini-howto/html/mount-mini-howto-3.html#ss3.1
[01:19] <wasp> thanx man
[01:22] <wasp> mort:sorry..i have fdisk intalled but cant find where...i run fdisk through the konsole but it has 3 choices and i dont know how to do it...:(
[01:23] <wasp> i know i suck but it is always good to learn new things..
[01:24] <nalioth> wasp: use cfdisk
[01:24] <nalioth> wasp: or qtparted
[01:24] <wasp> and how do i run it?from the console?
[01:25] <nalioth> cfdisk is a console program, try qtparted (you may have to install it)
[01:25] <kevman> Anyone here run a custom kernel in kubuntu?
[01:25] <wasp> so wount it be easier to use cfdisk as i probably will fail installing another prog
[01:27] <nalioth> wasp: use either one
[01:28] <wasp> but how do i use it??where do i open it from etc/..do i just type in the console fdisk?
[01:30] <wasp> anyway i probably have to read to find that...can u at least help me to use my dvd r..it is a usb one..so how do i mount etc
[01:31] <wasp> i created new device etc...it manges to eject but will not read or open etc
[01:32] <wasp> anyone?
[01:33] <nalioth> wasp: sorry kinda got my feet in several channels
[01:33] <wasp> ok..thanx though
[01:33] <nalioth> use "sudo cfdisk /dev/hda" or whatever your drive is
[01:33] <wasp> ok thanx
[01:34] <_manveru> only for the log - kubuntu rocks :)
[01:34] <_manveru> got 3d and composite working in 3 reboots
[01:34] <_manveru> including a new kernel
[01:36] <Armagguedes> why doesnt azureus appear in the repos?
[01:36] <Armagguedes> is it not gol/foss
[01:37] <apokryphos> it depends on Java
[01:37] <apokryphos> though, is it free (open-source)?
[01:37] <wasp> nalioth: thanx man this helped allot..if u can also tell me how to mount it i would be really gratefull
[01:37] <jordi> hi everybody
[01:37] <wasp> greatfull
[01:37] <nalioth> mount your dvd? it should automajically mount
[01:38] <wasp> my dvd is external so it does not...
[01:38] <wasp> for windows i am more concerned now
[01:39] <nalioth> i'm not familiar with external devices, my firewire drives automount
[01:39] <AndyFitz> g'day guys
[01:39] <wasp> ok...but do u know how i can mount my windows partition?
[01:39] <jordi> I wanted to ask you if someone has noticed if you open a kaffeine, you close it and you open it agianm if you go to ksysguard this tells you you have two kaffeines open and the same for firefox, is there a problem closing some apps?
[01:41] <apokryphos> jordi: it runs in the systemtray
[01:41] <apokryphos> if you exit it from there it should die
[01:41] <apokryphos> though some programs can run a few processes for a bit of time after they're closed
[01:41] <nalioth> ubotu: tell wasp about mountwindows
[01:41] <jordi> mmm no i thought that but i think i's not the problem, i have the systemtray unchecked
[01:41] <jordi> and firefox has the same problem
[01:42] <apokryphos> jordi: well, how long does it run in there for?
[01:43] <jordi> much time, when i have a long session i can see in ksysguard 6 o 7 kaffeines
[01:44] <jordi> and well i just try firefox and now it is ok
[01:44] <wasp> thanx allot...but for some reason it says no windows partition available
[01:45] <jordi> but kaffeine still have this proble when i tried 3.42 in hoary , there was ths same problem
[01:45] <jordi> i think it is relationed withi kaffeine crashing
[01:46] <jordi> i only wanted to know if someone has the same problem for confirm it and fill a bug report
[01:47] <jordi> the other thing i wanted to ask is now the problem with usbdisks is fixed, but i still have the problems with :Hard drives don't show up in media:/, isn't fixed yet? or i am doing something wrong
[01:48] <jordi> sorry for my english
[01:52] <wasp_ems> nalioth: sorry man but it tells me that it cant find an active windows partition
[01:54] <phiqtion> kubuntu is huge! how can i shrink it? display is on 1280x780
[01:56] <icewt> phiqtion: well, you could start looking at the panel configuration
[02:01] <nalioth> wasp_ems: at this point , open a terminal and type "man mount" or ask uncle google
[02:01] <wasp_ems> ok...
[02:01] <wasp_ems> :)
[02:01] <wasp_ems> thanx though
[02:02] <phiqtion> icewt: everyting is still big, i selected a tiny panel. same thing still
[02:07] <Armagguedes> how can i increase the font size in GAIM v1.5?
[02:07] <Armagguedes> i've tried using the preferences > font option, but it doesnt change
[02:07] <phiqtion> kubuntu is huge! how can i shrink it? display is on 1280x780
[02:07] <Armagguedes> it is miniscule, it hurts my eyes just trying to read what im writting or someone elses msgs
[02:09] <wasp_ems> final question for today which is really simple for you...how do i open a root konsole
[02:09] <Armagguedes> you edit the shortcut and add to the command line "sudo"?
[02:11] <wasp_ems> anyone??
[02:11] <wasp_ems> ok found it
[02:13] <gnomefreak> hey guys is kdevelop4 in kubuntu yet?
[02:20] <scotty> Hello
[02:21] <scotty> How do you access root? I typed in su the password I picked and its not working
[02:23] <tarheelcoxn> scotty: sudo bash
[02:24] <tarheelcoxn> safer would be to just use sudo every time
[02:24] <tarheelcoxn> and if you're installing software, use fakeroot instaed
[02:24] <tarheelcoxn> err
[02:24] <tarheelcoxn> instead
[02:25] <scotty> fake root?
[02:25] <tarheelcoxn> scotty: sudo apt-get install fakeroot
[02:25] <tarheelcoxn> if you don't already have it
[02:26] <scotty> you mean linux is easier than it looks?!
[02:27] <tarheelcoxn> :P
[02:27] <tarheelcoxn> any OS you're not familiar with will have its frustrations
[02:27] <Hobbsee> morning all
[02:27] <scotty> I understand this. I'm not frustrated actually, I'm shocked
[02:27] <tarheelcoxn> :P
[02:28] <scotty> Linux to me was protrayed as not that easy
[02:28] <kkathman> evening all :)  Hey Hobbsee :)
[02:28] <Hobbsee> hey kkathman :)
[02:28] <scotty> as a brand new win convert..
[02:28] <scotty> hi kkath
[02:28] <Hobbsee> scotty: in some cases, it's not, but in many cases, it sure is!
[02:28] <kkathman> hi scotty
[02:28] <tarheelcoxn> scotty: welcome to the club
[02:28] <scotty> thats what books are for hobbsee 
[02:28] <scotty> thanks tarheelcoxn
[02:28] <tarheelcoxn> :) np
[02:29] <Hobbsee> scotty: or ubuntu wiki, or ubuntu forums, or the IRC channels
[02:29] <scotty> true true true
[02:29] <kkathman> books BAH
[02:29] <scotty> there are online tutorials too
[02:29] <kkathman> hehe
[02:29] <Hobbsee> hehe yeah...books?  here?  probably not most of them
[02:29] <Hobbsee> online stuff is way better
[02:29] <Hobbsee> unless the network is dead, of course, then it's not much help
[02:30] <kkathman> Hobbsee:  I actually found an online version of O'Reilly's LInux book on line!
[02:30] <Hobbsee> ooh really?  where?
[02:30] <tarheelcoxn> books are good for things like protocols
[02:30] <tarheelcoxn> they don't change as quickly
[02:30] <crimsun> I hate reading material online; I'd much rather print it and read it that way
[02:30] <tarheelcoxn> also languages
[02:30] <kkathman> Hobbsee: http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/debian/chapter/book/  (its a debian book, but since Ubuntu is debian based...there ya go)
[02:31] <tarheelcoxn> 90% of my SQL and DBMS knowledge if from books, for example
[02:31] <Hobbsee> kkathman: cool, thanks
[02:31] <kkathman> Books BAH :)
[02:31] <kkathman> hehe
[02:31] <scotty> thanks kkath
[02:31] <kkathman> I have a pretty good library here at home...the essentials
[02:31] <scotty> programming funamentals haven't actually changed since 1997 when they upgraded C right??
[02:32] <crimsun> I love dead trees. Must by my literature background speaking.
[02:32] <kkathman> not sure programming fundamentals have changed all that much since the dawn of programming...the syntax has tho :)
[02:32] <crimsun> Must be^
[02:32] <kkathman> crimsun: you'd get that from my office too hehe
[02:33] <gnomefreak> kdevelop4 in kubuntu? or is it something i have to get from site?
[02:33] <crimsun> site.

[02:35] <scotty> ugh
[02:35] <kkathman> Im not sure, but if you were to have a glass of red wine with that sammich, you'd be the picture of health dude :)
[02:35] <scotty> Trying to install java from their turtorial sucks.
[02:35] <crimsun> it's straight-forward.
[02:35] <kkathman> scotty why didnt you install it from the repos?
[02:35] <scotty> well, I see more of a steak dinner with some red wine myself 
[02:35] <Hobbsee> !tell scotty about javadeb
[02:36] <tarheelcoxn> see y'all later

[02:36] <Hobbsee> scotty: check your PM - java's way easier to install from there
[02:36] <kkathman> Hobbsee: just shows that brilliant minds wind up in the same gutter
[02:36] <Hobbsee> hehe

[02:38] <scotty> thank you
[02:38] <scotty> you know, you guys are a nice bunch
[02:38] <Hobbsee> :)
[02:39] <scotty> I was at a linux forum once and they about ripped me apart
[02:39] <Hobbsee> there are some that do...i could point to #suse for an example
[02:39] <scotty> I'm glad though or I would have been stuck with Fedora Core 4 instead of kubuntu :-)
[02:39] <Hobbsee> they just seem to rip each other apart - did when i was lurking there
[02:39] <scotty> vicious
[02:40] <Hobbsee> yeah
[02:40] <scotty> anyway..
[02:40] <scotty> why are you all programmers anyway?
[02:40] <Hobbsee> i'm not
[02:40] <Hobbsee> just a user here
[02:40] <Hobbsee> some of them are
[02:40] <scotty> Really? I don't see many of them
[02:41] <Hobbsee> what, the programmers or the users?
[02:41] <scotty> Users
[02:41] <crimsun> there are far more users than there are programmers
[02:41] <scotty> I always meet a IT guru
[02:42] <Hobbsee> not here lol
[02:42] <Hobbsee> crimsun: you're a developer arent you?
[02:42] <crimsun> Hobbsee: yes, but I'm also a user.
[02:42] <Hobbsee> what do you develop?
[02:42] <Hobbsee> well, of course lol
[02:42] <Hobbsee> i'm curious now
[02:43] <crimsun> I work with Globus and CONDOR.
[02:43] <crimsun> for *buntu I do "random sound stuff"
[02:43] <Hobbsee> nice
[02:43] <Hobbsee> hehe...random sound stuff...i like that idea
[02:44] <scotty> sounds almost like porn
[02:44] <scotty> *gets head out of gutter*
[02:44] <crimsun> ...not gonna ask about that one
[02:45] <Hobbsee> i dont think you should crimsun...
[02:45] <Hobbsee> i dont think i will either
[02:45] <scotty> hehe. I'm full of many a story :-)
[02:45] <scotty> I apologize if thats not your rumor route
[02:45] <kkathman> crimsun: I used to be a programmer...forgotten more languages than I hope to ever know...somehow I beat that programmer addiction (except now I create website...which is a little like methadone to the heroin addict I suppose)
[02:46] <Hobbsee> hehe kkathman - html and css seem way easier than programming
[02:46] <kkathman> Hobbsee: well, html and CSS yes, php, and other scripting language...eh..about the same...like I said how many different ways can you write an "if" statement?
[02:47] <Hobbsee> lol
[02:47] <crimsun> programming is nothing more than creative problem solving. Everyone's a programmer.
[02:47] <Hobbsee> kkathman: there's an error on your webpage, i've just noticed it
[02:47] <kkathman> I agree crimsun
[02:47] <kkathman> I dont have a webpage
[02:47] <hydrogen> i disagree
[02:47] <kkathman> at least that I know of :)
[02:47] <hydrogen> I have seen some really uncreative people
[02:48] <Hobbsee> you said you built webpages though lol
[02:48] <kkathman> Yah I do
[02:49] <crimsun> hydrogen: I've met people I think could never be a computer programmer in the strictest sense, but they still have the same solution-seeking propensity.
[02:49] <crimsun> (Motivation is another thing altogether.)
[02:49] <hydrogen> yea
[02:50] <hydrogen> thats my limiting factor
[02:50] <hydrogen> well
[02:50] <hydrogen> attention span
[02:50] <hydrogen> I can solve problems, and write code
[02:50] <hydrogen> but I always get distracted
[02:50] <scotty> hehe
[02:52] <scotty> hmm
[02:52] <scotty> Anyone here a fan of cars?
[03:01] <scotty> quiet..
[03:01] <scotty> almost too quiet
[03:02] <Hobbsee> more quiet than usual
[03:02] <Hobbsee> although maybe not
[03:02] <Hobbsee> a lot of people are on both #kubuntu and #ubuntu
[03:03] <icewt> it just means that nobody has problems with kubuntu ;)
[03:03] <Hobbsee> hehe...that too
[03:04] <scotty> me 3 :-)
[03:17] <swaty> Hello, I want install Gnome, but i have Instaled Kubuntu..  can i?
[03:18] <Hobbsee> swaty: yes, you can
[03:18] <Hobbsee> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:19] <swaty> Hobbsee: Thankss!!
[03:20] <Hobbsee> no problems ;)
[03:30] <Kaiser_Sleeps> hi all. bbs
[03:30] <scotty> how do I install java now that I've downloaded it
[03:31] <scotty> I'm in root
[03:31] <scotty> but It won't make a directory
[03:31] <stbain> scotty: I actually installed my JRE via Adept
[03:31] <stbain> and used the Blackdown package
[03:32] <scotty> what would I search for? I searched java and got nothing
[03:32] <scotty> Jre maybe?
[03:33] <stbain> try
[03:33] <stbain> j2
[03:33] <Kaiser_Sleeps> scotty: you using breezy or hoary?
[03:33] <scotty> breezy
[03:34] <stbain> <-- breezy as well
[03:34] <Kaiser_Sleeps> then use the one in multiverse
[03:34] <scotty> ?
[03:35] <Kaiser_Sleeps> scotty: you can install using adept/kynaptic/apt/synaptic
[03:36] <scotty> how do I access that?
[03:36] <nalioth> !java
[03:36] <ubotu> methinks java is to install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats#head-55315677ab8f9890825549fa2ecebdde4bc68087 and also see !javadeb
[03:36] <nalioth> ubotu: tell scotty about repos
[03:36] <jsubl2> !javadeb
[03:36] <ubotu> methinks javadeb is for sun java debs packaged for ubuntu, Install from http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy)
[03:37] <nalioth> scotty: if the tinyurls dont work, i have direct links
[03:37] <scotty> ok
[03:37] <tarheelcoxn> ubotu: botsnacks
[03:37] <ubotu> :)
[03:41] <scotty> thanks
[03:41] <scotty> I hope this works
[03:43] <nalioth> scotty: it has worked for hundreds of others
[03:44] <Hobbsee> indeed
[03:45] <scotty> :-)
[03:45] <scotty> Can I get limewire off of here?
[03:45] <scotty> All I need is three things. My chess, my music, and my java
[03:45] <nalioth> scotty: you can, but give gtk-gnutella  a try 
[03:45] <nalioth> it is funtionally equivalent
[03:46] <nalioth> howdy Hobbsee 
[03:46] <scotty> does it come with breezy?
[03:46] <crimsun> gtk-gnutella is in universe
[03:47] <scotty> here comes another...huh?
[03:47] <phiqtion> scotty: where's you're "my music" located at? in windows?
[03:47] <nalioth> ubotu: tell scotty about repos
[03:47] <nalioth> scotty: enable universe and multiverse
[03:47] <scotty> Right now my music is on my ipod
[03:48] <scotty> What is this repos?
[03:48] <nalioth> scotty: repositories are where ubuntu gets its programs from
[03:48] <Hobbsee> howdy nalioth :)
[03:48] <nalioth> when you run apt-get or adept, they d/l the programs from repositories
[03:48] <scotty> oh
[03:48] <scotty> Can I get gtk from there?
[03:49] <nalioth> scotty: enabling universe and multiverse gets you thousands and thousands of programs to choose and use
[03:49] <nalioth> !info gtk-gnutella
[03:49] <ubotu> gtk-gnutella: (shares files in a peer to peer network), section universe/net, is optional. Version: 0.95.4-1 (breezy), Packaged size: 1582 kB, Installed size: 5776 kB
[03:50] <nalioth> enable uni and multi, and you will not want for software
[03:50] <scotty> how do I enable that?
[03:52] <nalioth> read waht ubotu sent you
[03:54] <scotty> thanks. I'll wait for everything to update now
[03:54] <nalioth> scotty: do not use non ubuntu repos (no matter what the wiki says)
[03:54] <propagandhi> has anyone seen The Code
[03:55] <nalioth> there are exceptions, scotty, but if you need them, they should be explained
[03:55] <nalioth> propagandhi: long ago movie? 
[03:55] <propagandhi> nalioth: i think so, about linux etc
[03:56] <propagandhi> its on this page - search for The Code http://disgruntledmass.v2.nl/media/
[03:56] <nalioth> not the movie i'm thinking of
[03:57] <propagandhi> oh ok
[03:58] <hydrogen> where do I get win32codecs package?
[03:58] <propagandhi> !restricted
[03:58] <ubotu> I heard restricted is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats ; also see !javadebs (for sun-java debs) and !w32codecs
[03:58] <hydrogen> !w32codecs
[03:58] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, w32codecs is a set of audio/video codecs for DVD-Video. To download the debs: http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy)
[04:03] <jmg> hey guys
[04:03] <propagandhi> howdy
[04:03] <jmg> anyone know how i configure my xmodmap properly in kde? i cant use my windows key and meta isnt meta.
[04:05] <stbain> might want to ask in #kde
[04:05] <stbain> I would offer to help
[04:05] <stbain> but I threw out my Win104 keyboard in favor of an ancient IBM "clicky" keyboard
[04:05] <nalioth> ah, the loverly "clicky"s
[04:05] <nalioth> 8 pounds of love
[04:05] <Kaiser_Sleeps> lol
[04:06] <_cap> ok so I just installed kubunutu
[04:06] <_cap> I go to add another user and after setting the name and password I select next and the it crashes
[04:07] <_cap> doing it the second time for the same user name it complained of not being able to write 
[04:08] <_cap> trying a different name the UserAdd panel crashed again
[04:08] <Kaiser_Sleeps> can you add a user froma terminal?
[04:08] <_cap> hhmmmm
[04:09] <_cap> well I am showing the add user process to a valunteer manager who is not a techie
[04:09] <Kaiser_Sleeps> im just wondering is the problem the KDE frontend, or the backend :|
[04:12] <Phily> Hello all I have decided to make the jump to breezy and now i', screwed
[04:13] <nalioth> Kaiser_Sleeps: most likely it is the front
[04:13] <nalioth> Phily: turn the screwdriver in the opposite direction
[04:13] <_cap> im not sure but I will do as requested to resolve it
[04:13] <Phily> lol
[04:13] <Kaiser_Sleeps> nalioth: i agree, but was still checking ;)
[04:13] <Kaiser_Sleeps> bbs
[04:14] <Phily> for some readon it wont upgrade like 114 when changin repository to breezy even at runlevel 2
[04:15] <Kaiser_Sleeps> Phily: packages?
[04:15] <Phily> Kaiser_Sleeps: Yep
[04:16] <Kaiser_Sleeps> Phily: sure you changed all the hoary's -> breezy's?
[04:16] <Phily> yep
[04:16] <Kaiser_Sleeps> lowercase B etc
[04:16] <Kaiser_Sleeps> ok :|
[04:16] <Phily> Kaiser yep
[04:16] <Kaiser_Sleeps> i have seen someone else who couldnt update, but dont know ifthey fixed it
[04:16] <Kaiser_Sleeps> have you used backports or something like that?
[04:16] <Phily> Kaiser_Sleeps: It did update some of the packages
[04:17] <Phily> Kaiser_Sleeps: no backports just hoary nornal reposotory
[04:17] <Kaiser_Sleeps> hm. 
[04:17] <Phily> Kaiser_Sleeps: and Kde 3.4.2 reposotory
[04:17] <Kaiser_Sleeps> Phily: not realy sure what to sugest :|
[04:18] <_cap> how about I first upgrade all packages
[04:18] <_cap> and then try again
[04:18] <Phily> Kaiser_Sleeps: I,ve commented deb http://kubuntu.org/hoary-kde342 hoary-updates main
[04:18] <_cap> has anyone had problems with adding users?
[04:18] <Phily> before updatimg
[04:18] <Kaiser_Sleeps> Phily: good, im just wondering if its still related (becuse of installed packags)
[04:20] <Phily> Kaiser_Sleeps: I tried using synaptic to manually install the updated packeages but it is taking forever and using 100% cpu, stuck in a loop?
[04:21] <Kaiser_Sleeps> Phily: posibly yes (i would say probably, but then i sound like i know what im doing ;D)
[04:23] <Phily> Kamping_Kaiser: Now synaptic won't even close is it safe to kill the process
[04:23] <nalioth> Phily: yes you can kill it
[04:24] <_cap> ok so I did upgrade all and then commit
[04:24] <_cap> then I get a window showing some changes with the opportunity to confirm the changes but no button to select
[04:24] <_cap> what gives
[04:24] <_cap> what do I do with that?
[04:25] <_cap> oh wow 
[04:25] <_cap> good thing Im a creative problem solver
[04:26] <_cap> streetch the window down so that you can see the continue button
[04:26] <m_tadeu> hi all
[04:26] <Phily> Kamping_Kaiser: I get message with lots of packages when doing apt-get distro-upgrade:0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 137 not upgraded. 
[04:26] <m_tadeu> sorry
[04:27] <Kamping_Kaiser> hi m_tadeu
[04:27] <nalioth> Phily: sounds like a repository problem
[04:27] <Ahmuck> kde has some packages i don't need.  is there a way to remove them from the distro ?
[04:27] <Kamping_Kaiser> Phily: can you  'apt-get install kubuntu-desktop'?
[04:28] <m_tadeu> how do I install .deb files from that I have in my HD using apt?
[04:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> Ahmuck: adept/apt will let you
[04:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> m_tadeu: you dont usualy. you would use dpkg
[04:28] <Phily> Kamping_Kaiser: good idea i'll try
[04:29] <Kamping_Kaiser> m_tadeu: what did you download? and did you save it in your home?
[04:29] <m_tadeu> btw...amarok1.3.5 is not on the repository, is it?
[04:29] <Phily> Kamping_Kaiser: kubuntu-desktop: Depends: cupsys but it is not going to be installed
[04:29] <nalioth> m_tadeu: check at kubuntu.org
[04:30] <nalioth> m_tadeu: 1.3.5 is there if you feel like a lab rat
[04:30] <Phily> Kamping_Kaiser: E: Broken packages
[04:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> Phily: thats what i was expecting ;)
[04:30] <Ahmuck> how pure is kde in kubuntu ?
[04:30] <Phily> Kubuntu was so nice to me for the last year but now i'm getting worried
[04:31] <nalioth> Ahmuck: pure? 
[04:31] <m_tadeu> nalioth: yep...for download the package....and its not in any repository, is it?
[04:31] <Kamping_Kaiser> Phily: since its just one package i expect its a repository thing
[04:31] <Ahmuck> as in, linux, x, kde
[04:31] <Phily> repository is broken
[04:31] <nalioth> m_tadeu: no it is not. it's bleeding edge
[04:31] <Ahmuck> or is there such a thing as pure kde ?
[04:31] <Phily> Kamping_Kaiser: cups is a;rady installed
[04:31] <Phily> Kamping_Kaiser: already
[04:31] <nalioth> there's really no such animal as "pure" kde
[04:32] <Kamping_Kaiser> Phily: yes, but its trying to update it
[04:32] <Kamping_Kaiser> not clean insatll it
[04:32] <Kamping_Kaiser> *install
[04:32] <Ahmuck> is there an animal "pure" gnome ?
[04:32] <Ahmuck> or are they like a beefalo ?
[04:32] <Phily> Kamping_Kaiser: should I remove cups
[04:32] <Kamping_Kaiser> Phily: try a different set of repositories for main
[04:32] <Kamping_Kaiser> Ahmuck: what?
[04:33] <Kamping_Kaiser> gnome is an acronim
[04:33] <Ahmuck> ubuntu, kubuntu ... are a mix of gnome and kde, with the empasis bieng on one or the other, but no real way to sepeate them ?
[04:34] <Phily> Kamping_Kaiser: How do I do that change the main tag?
[04:34] <Phily> Kamping_Kaiser: I have no problem foing apt-get update
[04:34] <Kamping_Kaiser> Phily: 'sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list && apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade'
[04:34] <Kamping_Kaiser> and in the sources list change this line
[04:34] <Kamping_Kaiser> deb http://cc.ubuntu.archive.com/ubuntu main 
[04:35] <Kamping_Kaiser> and drop the cc. for teh moment
[04:36] <Phily> Kamping_Kaiser: I think I screwed up my source list for the update, I apologise I missed one of the hoary entry!  Sorry
[04:36] <strike4ce> Wow that totem player works good
[04:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> Phily: lol. htats ok. :) lucky you found it
[04:37] <nalioth> Phily: well hopefully that will fix it
[04:38] <Phily> Kamping_Kaiser: I need to get 669 Mb of files this is not an upgrade but a reinstall!
[04:38] <Kamping_Kaiser> Phily: hoary -> breezy is a big upgrade
[04:38] <Kamping_Kaiser> and yes, it basicly is a reinstall
[04:38] <Phily> Kamping_Kaiser: Do I need to go to level 3 to do the upgrade or is safe to keep owrking while it downloads
[04:39] <Kamping_Kaiser> its ok to keep working normaly
[04:39] <nalioth> Phily: did you not d/l some pkgs earlier?
[04:39] <Phily> Kamping_Kaiser: Is it worth the upgrade? my system is nice and stable
[04:39] <strike4ce> Anyone got a good guide or advice on setting up 3d capability on kubuntu distro with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 Pro Turbo
[04:39] <nalioth> Phily: if you like the way your box runs, keep it that way
[04:39] <Kamping_Kaiser> Phily: if your not having problems, no its not
[04:39] <Phily> strike4ce: Sell it on ebay and buy an Nvidia
[04:40] <strike4ce> Phily: Dell Laptop here
[04:41] <frank23> !tell strike4ce about ati
[04:43] <Kamping_Kaiser> wb Hobbsee
[04:43] <m_tadeu> which one is better to use with amarok? gstreamer or xine?
[04:43] <Phily> nalioth: I need to make up my mind to upgrade to nreezy I need a pole here, 1)Yes risk to screw my system and get all bells and whistles 2)No Be conservative 2)
[04:43] <nalioth> my personal preference is gstreamer
[04:43] <Hobbsee> ty Kamping_Kaiser :)
[04:43] <Kamping_Kaiser> :)
[04:43] <m_tadeu> nalioth: for any special reason?
[04:44] <frank23> m_tadeu: only xine works for me
[04:44] <nalioth> m_tadeu: more success with it
[04:44] <Kamping_Kaiser> Phily: stay with hoary, unless your realy into bling
[04:44] <nalioth> m_tadeu: so you see, you'll have to use both and figure it out
[04:44] <nalioth> Phily: yes, functionality means a lot
[04:44] <m_tadeu> works fine with both, I guess
[04:45] <Phily> Anyone is using yakuake its amazing
[04:45] <m_tadeu> Phily: yap ;)
[04:45] <Phily> nalioth: does a breezy upgrade change all your kde settings?
[04:46] <Phily> like a SUSE upgrade would do
[04:46] <nalioth> Phily: your settings will stay the same, whether the program(s) work exactly the same is another question
[04:46] <Phily> nalioth: tks
[04:47] <Hobbsee> Phily: just make sure you backup /home - then you can replace it if you for some reason have to go back to hoary
[04:47] <Phily> nalioth: I,ll wait this winter when its get below 30 (Cel) to upgrade
[04:47] <nalioth> true wisdom from Hobbsee 
[04:47] <Hobbsee> hehe...from experience
[04:47] <nalioth> what does temp have to do with upgrades?
[04:48] <Phily> Hobbsee: too lazy to backup 150 Giga (mostly legally obtainned files)
[04:48] <frank23> !tell frank about javadeb
[04:48] <Hobbsee> Phily: lol, another computer you can stick it on?
[04:48] <Phily> Hobbsee: Yep laptop can take 80 gigs
[04:48] <Kamping_Kaiser> *deg
[04:49] <Phily> Hobbsee: I really need to get a second drive 
[04:49] <_cap> ok so the update seems to have gone through the 100% progess bar which is now gone but the kynaptic screen is just sitting there greyed out
[04:50] <Hobbsee> Phily: could be useful, yeah
[04:50] <Hobbsee> Kamping_Kaiser: huh?  i dont understand
[04:51] <Kamping_Kaiser> Hobbsee: i hit 100deg+ with this baby. maybe even 130
[04:51] <Kamping_Kaiser> p4 with no fan, instaling xp :$
[04:51] <Kamping_Kaiser> ah, hte good old days :P
[04:51] <Hobbsee> Kamping_Kaiser: F or C though?
[04:51] <Hobbsee> hehe
[04:51] <Kamping_Kaiser> C
[04:51] <Hobbsee> wow!
[04:51] <Kamping_Kaiser> none of this pansy F stuff :P
[04:52] <Hobbsee> hehe yeah, F is overrated
[04:52] <m_tadeu> where can I find libqt3c102-mt?
[04:52] <Kamping_Kaiser> m_tadeu: you installing skype?
[04:52] <m_tadeu> Kamping_Kaiser: lol yep
[04:52] <Hobbsee> !info libqt3c102-mt
[04:52] <nalioth> m_tadeu: enable universe and multiverse
[04:53] <Hobbsee> nalioth: according to my computer, it's in neither of them
[04:53] <logikal> dnsmasq.conf
[04:53] <logikal> where is that
[04:53] <nalioth> who's gonna be first?
[04:53] <Hobbsee> nalioth: unless i've suddenly got the wrong universe
[04:53] <nalioth> first to say "dont use debian binaries"
[04:53] <Hobbsee> ah right, you can
[04:54] <m_tadeu> nalioth: I have them already
[04:54] <_cap> uhm any input on what to do when Kynaptic almost finishes and then greys out and does nothing for 5 minutes?
[04:54] <nalioth> m_tadeu: well. they aren't healthy to use on ubuntu. be wary
[04:55] <nalioth> _cap: kill it
[04:55] <_cap> is that really safe for kynaptic
[04:55] <_cap> perhaps it is working on recompiling
[04:56] <m_tadeu> nalioth: so I should wait for some days?
[04:56] <nalioth> m_tadeu: wait for what?
[04:57] <m_tadeu> nalioth: for  libqt3c102-mt
[04:57] <nalioth> m_tadeu: join #kubuntu-offtopic please
[04:57] <m_tadeu> oki
[05:01] <frank23> Hobbsee: a way of doing this with vmware (legally, for free): install vmware-player, 
[05:01] <Hobbsee> Kamping_Kaiser: brave
[05:02] <Phily> anyone know how to test kde 3.5 on hoary without upgrading the whole system
[05:02] <frank23> Hobbsee: dl  the "browser" image from vmware which is actually hoary, upgrade it to dapper
[05:02] <Hobbsee> frank23: right...
[05:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> Hobbsee: i used breezy all through dev. now im moving onto dapper :)
[05:02] <Hobbsee> could be interesting
[05:02] <Hobbsee> lol - how often would it fubar?
[05:02] <Hobbsee> Phily: you should be able to 
[05:02] <Hobbsee> !kde3.5
[05:02] <ubotu> kde3.5 is, like, totally, KDE 3.5beta2 out: http://tinyurl.com/ad4x6
[05:03] <Hobbsee> !beta1
[05:03] <ubotu> Hobbsee: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
[05:03] <Hobbsee> Phily: http://www.kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-35beta1.php
[05:03] <Kamping_Kaiser> Hobbsee: it breaks all the time ;)
[05:03] <Hobbsee> Phily: beta 1 worked with hoary, probably not beta2 though
[05:03] <phiqtion> where can i get a program that tells me all the processes currently running?
[05:03] <Hobbsee> Kamping_Kaiser: fun
[05:03] <Kamping_Kaiser> yep
[05:04] <Phily> phiqtion: use console top
[05:04] <Phily> ''top''
[05:05] <phiqtion> but i want one that sits on the desktop
[05:05] <Hobbsee> phiqtion: make a console sit on the desktop, have the top running in it - where's teh problem lol?
[05:06] <Phily> phiqtion: use super-karamba and have a look on kdelook
[05:06] <Hobbsee> unless you're thinkign of something like superkaramba
[05:07] <nalioth> Hobbsee: it'll fubar horrible while they line out the x stuff
[05:07] <nalioth> Hobbsee: if you can handle console jockey status, it's not that bad a ride
[05:07] <phiqtion> Phily, where can i get super-karamba?
[05:08] <Hobbsee> !super-karamba
[05:08] <ubotu> Syntax error in line 1, Hobbsee
[05:08] <phiqtion> !super-karamba
[05:08] <Hobbsee> nalioth: fun..wonder what console jockey status is...
[05:11] <nalioth> Hobbsee: it's when you have no Xserver
[05:12] <Hobbsee> right
[05:12] <phiqtion> !super-karamba
[05:12] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, phiqtion
[05:12] <phiqtion> Phily, where can i get super-karamba?
[05:12] <Hobbsee> kde-apps.org
[05:12] <Hobbsee> or somewhere off there
[05:12] <Hobbsee> !karamba
[05:12] <ubotu> Hobbsee: parse error: dunno what the heck you're talking about
[05:12] <Hobbsee> hmm...there used to be a factoid about it
[05:13] <nalioth>       superkaramba is available in the repos
[05:13] <Hobbsee> here
[05:13] <Hobbsee> !superkaramba
[05:13] <ubotu> SuperKaramba is a KDE application that allows you to create interactive eye-candy on your desktop. Official site: http://netdragon.sourceforge.net SK Themes: http://kdelook.org
[05:13] <Phily> phiqtion: sudo apt-get install superkaramba
[05:16] <BlankC> why do they call them themes? It confuses me.
[05:17] <phiqtion> Phily: how do i use super karamba? it's not in the kubuntu menu
[05:18] <Phily> try from the console superkaramba
[05:18] <nalioth> phiqtion: k > run command > superkaramba
[05:18] <nalioth> phiqtion: but i'd visit the site above (that ubotu mentioned) and see what you can do with it
[05:18] <Phily> phiqtion: it is in the utilities menu
[05:19] <magick> getting a broken pipe with pygame install. What is this and how do I fix it?
[05:19] <magick> With breezy
[05:25] <Snifffurt> hi
[05:27] <Kamping_Kaiser> hi
[05:28] <Phily> nalioth: do u know how toupgrade to kde 3.4.3 for hoary it seems i can't use and packages from kde.org cannot find signature
[05:29] <nalioth> Phily: hang on a minute
[05:30] <Phily> nalioth: wait i think I found how
[05:30] <nalioth> Phily: does it look like this ? deb-src http://kubuntu.org/hoary-kde342/ hoary-updates main
[05:30] <Phily> yep im noe trying to replace it by 343
[05:30] <nalioth> Phily: just make it deb instead of deb-src
[05:31] <Phily> nalioth: GPG error: http://kubuntu.org hoary Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY A506E6D4DD4D5088
[05:31] <Snifffurt> at a fresh install of kubuntu my x server seems to crash on startup. I only get a gray screen, with a moovable mouse pointer on it. There is absolutely no response on any keyboard action - e.g. alt+ctrl+F1 or alt+ctrl+backspace . I assume it is related to the used ati driver ( i have a radeon 9250 based Card).
[05:31] <nalioth> Phily: you can disregard or if you read the blog there you can get the key
[05:31] <Phily> sudo apt-key add kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg
[05:32] <nalioth> Phily: there ya go
[05:32] <Snifffurt> how can I reconfigure xorg.config with the ATI tool, to get propper dri settings ASF
[05:32] <Snifffurt> ?
[05:33] <Snifffurt> I mean it is the ATI proprietarry pendant to xorgconf, but with special settings for DRI enabling
[05:34] <Snifffurt> or is there a way to get it running with the ubuntu xorg config tool
[05:34] <nalioth> Snifffurt: google "enable direct rendering ati site:ubuntuforums.org"
[05:34] <Snifffurt> the one used in the install routine
[05:34] <Snifffurt> nalioth: ok thx. 
[05:35] <Snifffurt> nalioth: but just to get things right - DRI is not my primary task, I'd wish to have X running at least in 2D
[05:36] <nalioth> Snifffurt: then in a console, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[05:36] <nalioth> Snifffurt: using the VESA driver is almost failsafe
[05:36] <Snifffurt> nalioth: ok, I give it another try
[05:38] <Snifffurt> thx
[05:40] <kkathman> hey all :)
[05:40] <Kamping_Kaiser> hi kk
[05:41] <Hobbsee> hey kkathman :)
[05:41] <Kamping_Kaiser> lol. im usualy kk. why did i call you that :|
[05:42] <kkathman> lol
[05:42] <kkathman> hi there =Hobbsee :)
[05:42] <kkathman> hey Kamping_Kaiser :)
[05:42] <kkathman> too many k's :)
[05:42] <Kamping_Kaiser> lol
[05:42] <Kamping_Kaiser> yeh :|
[05:43] <kkathman> early morning for you Kamping_Kaiser ??
[05:43] <Kamping_Kaiser> kkathman: not right now, no
[05:43] <Kamping_Kaiser> its 1pm
[05:43] <kkathman> ohh 1pm..ok
[05:43] <Kamping_Kaiser> i was awake untill 3 am though ;)
[05:43] <nalioth> well, if it's not professor kkathman 
[05:43] <Hobbsee> lol
[05:43] <kkathman> well hi there nalioth  :)
[05:44] <kkathman> maybe a better title would be "private" kkathman :)
[05:44] <Kamping_Kaiser> heh
[05:49] <strike4ce> What is the deal?  Why is it so hard to set up a freaking ati driver in debian?
[05:50] <nalioth> ati sucks (toward OSS)
[05:51] <Kamping_Kaiser> the deal is ati dont play nice
[05:51] <Kamping_Kaiser> Hobbsee: *when* she upgrades....
[05:52] <Hobbsee> hehe...eventually
[05:52] <strike4ce> I've been trying to get this to work for at least a week.  I have followed alot of how tos everyone seems to have a different method.  
[05:52] <Kamping_Kaiser> in 3 years :|
[05:52] <Hobbsee> need the money for it first
[05:52] <Hobbsee> ah yes, in 3 years
[05:52] <strike4ce> I heard the best way is to just insall the driver from ATI site itself
[05:52] <Kamping_Kaiser> in 3 years, when ati dont suck anymore ;)
[05:52] <strike4ce> install
[05:52] <strike4ce> Can anyone help me out?
[05:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> imo hte best way is to get it from apt. but thats just me
[05:53] <strike4ce> Kamping_Kaiser: after that how do you install it?
[05:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> strike4ce: afaik it 'just installs', but you might need to edit xorg.conf
[05:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> im not familiiar with at
[05:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> i
[05:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> *ATI
[05:54] <strike4ce> What is the dpkg command?
[05:55] <Kamping_Kaiser> it installs deb files
[05:55] <Kamping_Kaiser> amoung other things
[05:56] <strike4ce> yes lol but im installing the ati file to desktop how do I dpkg?
[05:56] <Kamping_Kaiser> sudo dpkg -i ~/desktop/*ati*deb
[06:00] <kkathman> has anyone had any experience with installing the Adobe Acrobat Reader, and using that instead of the xpdf and that other sucky thing
[06:00] <kkathman> i forget the name of the one that works in k
[06:00] <nalioth> kkathman: use evince
[06:00] <nalioth> kkathman: kpdf?
[06:01] <kkathman> Pupeno: kpdf does not render everything
[06:01] <kkathman> nalioth: evince?
[06:01] <Pupeno> kkathman: but it intregrates better and it is free software.
[06:01] <nalioth> !info evince
[06:01] <ubotu> evince: (Document (postscript, pdf) viewer), section gnome, is optional. Version: 0.4.0-0ubuntu4 (breezy), Packaged size: 588 kB, Installed size: 2732 kB
[06:01] <kkathman> Acrobat is free Pupeno :)
[06:01] <nalioth> kkathman: it is not F/OSS
[06:01] <kkathman> and it integrates with everything 
[06:01] <Pupeno> kkathman: really ? where's the source code ?
[06:01] <kkathman> nalioth: well ok yah
[06:02] <Pupeno> kkathman: show me acrobat INSIDE konqueror.
[06:02] <kkathman> Pupeno: I mean, I dont have to pay for it :)
[06:02] <frank23> only acrobat can some things though. like the bus map I have.
[06:02] <nalioth> kkathman: you DO have to pay for it
[06:02] <kkathman> I dont user Konqueror for a web browser tho
[06:02] <kkathman> nalioth: Uhmm.. no I dont
[06:02] <kkathman> its a free download :)
[06:02] <kkathman> I've never paid for Acrobat
[06:02] <nalioth> kkathman: there are other things to pay with besides actual 'money'
[06:02] <frank23> nalioth: acrobat reader is free
[06:03] <frank23> as in beer
[06:03] <Pupeno> kkathman: I am not taking about price, that is irrelevant, I am taking about freedom. And I like the almost document centric interface I get with Konqueror (as a file manager) and all the kparts (like kpdf).
[06:03] <kkathman> ahhhhhhhhhh Im not out to change the world in a utopian way, just trying to get something that will work :)
[06:03] <kkathman> blah blah blah Pupeno
[06:03] <kkathman> argh
[06:04] <frank23> well pdf is an open format but using acrobat's reader in unavoidable. live java is open but using sun's is unavoidable
[06:04] <Pupeno> frank23: I do avoid using acrobat's reader (and sun's java).
[06:05] <frank23> Pupeno: then you can't open some documents and can't run some programs. 
[06:05] <Pupeno> frank23: indeed!
[06:05] <kkathman> oh frank23 I've heard all this nonsense before...its a fun thing for some
[06:05] <kkathman> then reality hits :)
[06:06] <kkathman> hey w/b Hobbsee :)
[06:06] <Pupeno> frank23: but saying that it is unavoidable is not necesarily true, you and everyone can choose.
[06:06] <Hobbsee> ty
[06:06] <Hobbsee> got booted
[06:06] <Kamping_Kaiser> :|
[06:06] <kkathman> hey nalioth can I get evince to pop into firefox you think?
[06:06] <frank23> kkathman: the reality is that to see the bus routes in montreal, I absolutely need to use non-free software
[06:06] <nalioth> one of the OSS pdf things has a plugin
[06:06] <kkathman> ROFL :)
[06:07] <kkathman> yah kpdf is in there now, and it only reads about 1/2 the things I call up in it
[06:08] <frank23> kpdf and others are usually ok for documents, papers and such
[06:08] <kkathman> Hobbsee: boot em back :)
[06:08] <Pupeno> with the lattest version of kpdf I didn't have a single problem, but of course it the depends on the population of documents you try to open.
[06:08] <kkathman> frank23: maybe Ive been just unlucky, but its been about 50-50
[06:09] <kkathman> I figure a document is a document and a pdf file is a pdf file, but that doesnt seem to be the case
[06:09] <Pupeno> kkathman: I used documen in the broad sense (that includes pdf files).
[06:09] <frank23> kkathman: no. the bus map I talk about about is completely vector graphics. you see the layers as it draws the maps
[06:10] <kkathman> I worked with someone here the other night and we noticed that symbolic notation in pdfs works in xdpf and doesnt in kpdf for some reason
[06:10] <Hobbsee> kkathman: i wish lol
[06:10] <kkathman> hehe
[06:10] <Pupeno> kkathman: http://bugs.kde.org then. ;)
[06:10] <kkathman> yah they logged the error in fact
[06:16] <frank23> Pupeno: I was wrong... KGhostview does open my file, kpdf doesn't ;-)
[06:17] <Pupeno> frank23: interesting. I bet the kpdf developers (who are very active) would like to hear about (and get that file).
[06:18] <frank23> is kpdf a front-end to something else?
[06:18] <nalioth> Pupeno: i'm sure they keep up with each other, since they're so closely related (or they should)
[06:18] <Pupeno> frank23: I believe not.
[06:18] <kkathman> I wonder if I can get Firefox to use xpdf ?
[06:19] <nalioth> kkathman: as mentioned i believe one of the pdf things (besides adobe) has a ff plugin
[06:20] <Pupeno> nalioth: I know that kpdf was almost abandoned till recently when they did a lot of work on it and if you compare kpdf to kghostview, you'll the interface is so much better. The handling of pdf files is better than before on kpdf. So, if something works on kgohstview and it doesn't on kpdf, they'll like to hear about it.
[06:21] <frank23> Pupeno: kpdf is based on xpdf
[06:21] <kkathman> nalioth: yah so isnt there a place in FF that I can just say "use this pdf engine instead of kpdf" ??
[06:21] <kkathman> There is in Opera
[06:22] <Pupeno> frank23: ok.
[06:22] <kkathman> hmm maybe not :( 
[06:25] <kkathman> Pupeno by the way, you can use acrobat in Konqueror... apt-get install mozilla-acroread :)
[06:26] <Pupeno> kkathman: I don't think it'll be as integrated as the kpdf kpart which adds its own entries and icons to the menus and toolbars.
[06:28] <kkathman> ok
[06:28] <kkathman> but you havent tried it right?
[06:28] <Pupeno> kkathman: I don't use non-free software, so, I won't.
[06:29] <kkathman> ok so you dont really know if it will or not .. add icons, etc.
[06:29] <Pupeno> kkathman: I know it will not.
[06:29] <Pupeno> kkathman: the chances of it behaving as a kpart are *very* close to 0.
[06:30] <GIgaClon> anyone here use KDevelop
[06:30] <GIgaClon> I can't seem to find the CVS features
[06:31] <Kamping_Kaiser> iirc you havo to install it seperate
[06:31] <kkathman> ok
[06:31] <kkathman> hehe
[06:31] <Pupeno> GIgaClon: you need to enable the plug in as well.
[06:32] <GIgaClon> how?
[06:33] <GIgaClon> is it in synaptic?
[06:34] <Pupeno> GIgaClon: to enable it is on the project configuration in a project by project basis, anyway, I freer cervisia to kdevelop's cvs interface (and I prefeer darcs to cvs anyway) ;)
[06:35] <BROKEN_LADDER> quick question.  how do i edit power management in kde?  like how do i set the monitor to turn off after 10 minutes of no use?
[06:35] <BROKEN_LADDER> i don't see it in screensaver options.
[06:35] <GIgaClon> I dont see it in the plugins screen
[06:36] <BROKEN_LADDER> i know
[06:37] <BROKEN_LADDER> for now i'll just manually turn off my monitor.
[06:37] <BROKEN_LADDER> okay later.
[06:39] <kkathman> LOL wow I had it backwards...Firefox uses xpdf and Opera was using kfmclient...now it uses Acrobat :)  Nice :)
[06:42] <Hobbsee> BROKEN_LADDER: there's a setting in system settings for it
[06:42] <Hobbsee> BROKEN_LADDER: display, power control
[06:47] <GIgaClon> Pupeno, I don't even have that plugin option in KDevelop
[06:48] <Pupeno> GIgaClon: then you are missing some addons, plugins, kdesdk moules (probably cervisia itself).
[06:49] <GIgaClon> prolly
[06:49] <GIgaClon> I don't have KDE installed
[06:49] <GIgaClon> installed Kdevelop thru synaptic
[06:49] <GIgaClon> and installed what ever it said
[06:56] <el-stuipdo> hello
[06:57] <nalioth> howdy
[06:57] <Hobbsee> hey
[06:57] <el-stupido> hey nalioth sup
[06:57] <nalioth> same0l-same0l
[06:58] <el-stupido> ok... nalioth i got an ati card at home and the drivers that came with Kubuntu wont help... do i need sommit more?
[06:58] <nalioth> el-stupido: what do you want from your ati card?
[06:58] <el-stupido> its a 256 MB card
[06:59] <el-stupido> but it wont play any game properly
[07:00] <nalioth> you want super duper rendering and such?
[07:00] <el-stupido> nalioth: do i need to d/l some drivers?
[07:00] <el-stupido> nalioth:  yeah hehe
[07:01] <nalioth> el-stupido: ati doenst play nice with OSS
[07:01] <el-stupido> ugh
[07:02] <GIgaClon> my ATI works fine
[07:02] <el-stupido> okay.. so what do I need?
[07:03] <el-stupido> haha thats a lot of help
[07:03] <el-stupido> lol
[07:04] <nalioth> el-stupido: there are lots of ATI talk on the ubuntuforums.org
[07:04] <el-stupido> lemme go check
[07:04] <nalioth> i dont use em, so dont know much about it
[07:05] <el-stupido> k
[07:05] <el-stupido> ta tho
[07:05] <nalioth> i'd recommdn the VESA driver, but i dont game
[07:07] <Hobbsee> lunch, back later
[07:07] <Kamping_Kaiser> later amate
[07:24] <Knowerrors> Hey all, getting this message at bootup: KDESETKEYCODE Invalid argument failed to set scancode 5D to keycode 256, aa to keycode 256, ef to keycode 256" is that significant?
[07:25] <Knowerrors> also "device-mapper: dm-linear: Device lookup failed"
[07:25] <Knowerrors> repeated many times... any ideas whether these are problems, or how to fix?
[07:27] <PinkBunny> howdy, am about to install kubuntu, as far as I know it comes with beta OO2, will update be available through regular security update or something or I have to go "unstable" (however ubuntu calls it) ?
[07:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> current unstable is dapper
[07:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> and im not sure if oo.o2 will be in breezy
[07:29] <Kamping_Kaiser> or if tehy will stick with the 1.9.975 or whatever version it ships with
[07:29] <nalioth> oOo2 will most likely appear as a back port
[07:29] <PinkBunny> well if they follow debian release model they will stick with beta and just add security patches, really unfortunate timing though
[07:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> PinkBunny: hence me being unsure
[07:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> it would be an expection to the rule
[07:30] <PinkBunny> whats website for (k)ubuntu backports?
[07:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> same as ubuntu afaik
[07:30] <nalioth> PinkBunny: there are none, atm
[07:31] <nalioth> dapper just started dev yesterday
[07:31] <Kamping_Kaiser> yeh, its awsome :D *is just downloading packagse*
[07:31] <Kamping_Kaiser> soon ill be living on the edge again
[07:32] <PinkBunny> well I guess I wont really notice difference between OO2beta and final...seeing that i only use it to open word docs someone sends me:)
[07:32] <Kamping_Kaiser> :)
[07:33] <PinkBunny> or just suck it down from "unstable"
[07:34] <Kamping_Kaiser> grr. do all the mirrors have corrupt main sources? :(
[07:35] <el-stupido> how do I find out my XFree86 version?
[07:35] <kkathman> sorry bout that...had to reboot to recognize my winbox that rebooted grrrrr
[07:35] <Kamping_Kaiser> el-stupido: what ubuntu are you runni8ng? only warty uses xfree
[07:36] <Kamping_Kaiser> hoary +breezy use xorg 6.8
[07:36] <el-stupido> KUbuntu 5.1
[07:36] <el-stupido> so XOrg 6.8 is it?
[07:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> im fairly sure
[07:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> and its 5.10
[07:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> so yes, 6.8
[07:37] <el-stupido> Kamping_Kaiser: thanx i'm downloading then ew ATI drivers
[07:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> ah ok
[07:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> gl
[07:37] <el-stupido> Kamping_Kaiser: thanx
[07:39] <Hobbsee> look forward to it?  
[07:39] <Kamping_Kaiser> yeh
[07:39] <Kamping_Kaiser> its a super minor difference :|
[07:40] <el-stupido> what is a *.rpm file?
[07:40] <kkathman> Yah I kinda like Koffice :)
[07:40] <Hobbsee> !rpm
[07:40] <ubotu> Hobbsee: Are you smoking crack?
[07:40] <kkathman> el-stupido: rpm files are for Red Hat I think
[07:40] <Kamping_Kaiser> el-stupido: a redhat file
[07:40] <Hobbsee> mmm...still going to download koffice at some point
[07:41] <PinkBunny> Hobbsee: but where does one find those backports?
[07:41] <kkathman> Hobbsee: worth a look..very nice...and its beginning to really hang together
[07:41] <el-stupido> kkathman: i'm downloading drivers for my ATI card (new) and its downloading an rpm file.. will that work on KUbuntu?
[07:41] <kkathman> el-stupido: nope
[07:41] <Hobbsee> PinkBunny: i dont think backports are open yet
[07:41] <el-stupido> kkathman: thanx
[07:41] <Hobbsee> kkathman: nice
[07:41] <kkathman> yep no backports for breezy quite yet
[07:41] <Kamping_Kaiser> ubotu: RPM is the Redhat Package Management file. Very similar to Debians DEB files, but require alien to install. ask me about !alien
[07:41] <ubotu> Kamping_Kaiser: okay
[07:41] <Kamping_Kaiser> !rpm
[07:42] <ubotu> rumour has it, rpm is the Redhat Package Management file. Very similar to Debians DEB files, but require alien to install. ask me about !alien
[07:42] <PinkBunny> el-stupido: they should have regular binary thats not rpm for ati
[07:42] <kkathman> Oh yeah..well you could like try the RPM with alien I guess
[07:42] <kkathman> but I think I'd stick with breezy natives for drivers...but thats just me
[07:43] <el-stupido> PinkBunny: poblem is i dont have internet at home yet (shifted base) and i need to install display drivers for my card but i cant find any that'l work with 5.1
[07:43] <kkathman> or at least a deb file :)
[07:43] <PinkBunny> xorg ati natives are perfectly fine for desktop use
[07:43] <PinkBunny> they will probably such for anything 3d though
[07:43] <el-stupido> PinkBunny: exactly.. i need 3d
[07:43] <el-stupido> hehe
[07:43] <el-stupido> PinkBunny: cant live without my UT
[07:43] <Hobbsee> PinkBunny: nope, backports are not open
[07:44] <Kamping_Kaiser> lol el-stupido
[07:44] <Kamping_Kaiser> gees. ppl and their backports
[07:44] <PinkBunny> Hobbsee: and when they are open, where will they be?
[07:44] <Kamping_Kaiser> dapper doesnt have oo.o yet. just chill out 
[07:44] <Hobbsee> hehe
[07:44] <kkathman> hehe
[07:44] <Hobbsee> !backports
[07:44] <Hobbsee> !tell PinkBunny about backports
[07:45] <kkathman> !tell George Clooney about backports
[07:45] <Hobbsee> hehe
[07:45] <kkathman> oh wait he's not here tonight
[07:45] <Kamping_Kaiser> lol
[07:45] <kkathman> Someone has to be the comic relief around here :)
[07:45] <Hobbsee> :P
[07:45] <PinkBunny> nice
[07:46] <Kamping_Kaiser> *yak
[07:46] <kkathman> !tell PinkBunny about birdsnbeez
[07:46] <kkathman> Hmm wrong factoid
[07:46] <Kamping_Kaiser> lol
[07:47] <kkathman> !get Kamping_Kaiser a beer
[07:47] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, kkathman
[07:47] <kkathman> stupid bot
[07:47] <Hobbsee> hehe
[07:47] <Kamping_Kaiser> bah
[07:47] <Kamping_Kaiser> :(
[07:47] <Hobbsee> cigarette ought to be in there, if you like that one
[07:47] <PinkBunny> jesus....ati driver installer is 60MB...what the hell do they have inside
[07:47] <kkathman> yeesh!! Their serious about that driver!!
[07:47] <kkathman> whew
[07:48] <Kamping_Kaiser> they need room for all the dark spirits :|
[07:48] <kkathman> ok so Hobbsee what game did we decide I needed to get last week?
[07:48] <kkathman> Freeciv?
[07:49] <BROKEN_LADDER> can someone tell me how to get to display--> power control?
[07:49] <Kamping_Kaiser> wooot freeciv
[07:49] <BROKEN_LADDER> is it in the kcontrol menu?
[07:49] <pbw> yes
[07:49] <kkathman> Kamping_Kaiser: is that an apt-get ??
[07:49] <Kamping_Kaiser> yes
[07:49] <BROKEN_LADDER> ack.
[07:49] <BROKEN_LADDER> where
[07:49] <el-stupido> this is so frustrating
[07:49] <BROKEN_LADDER> i don't see "display" anywhere.
[07:49] <Kamping_Kaiser> kkathman:  its in universe
[07:49] <BROKEN_LADDER> el-stupido isn't it always.
[07:50] <Hobbsee> kkathman: um...i dont remember...freeciv sounds familiar though
[07:50] <PinkBunny> BROKEN: control ceter > peripherals > display ?
[07:50] <BROKEN_LADDER> oh..peripherals!
[07:50] <pbw> run command kcontrol, and power control is first level. display is peripheral
[07:50] <BROKEN_LADDER> found it
[07:50] <BROKEN_LADDER> my display is a peripheral?
[07:50] <BROKEN_LADDER> pfft
[07:50] <kkathman> yah thats it....has sound files..but I dont have sound...guess I'll live
[07:50] <Hobbsee> kkathman: why dont you have sound?
[07:51] <PinkBunny> unless its stuck inside your computer case it is ;)
[07:51] <BROKEN_LADDER> what's the difference between standby/suspend/power off?
[07:51] <Hobbsee> which would then require yoru head to be inside the computer case to see it, which could be interesting
[07:51] <kkathman> Hobbsee: cuz all I have is sound on the Mobo..and it frankly sucks...plus all my sound system is on my Winbox where I use it as a workstation
[07:51] <Hobbsee> :(
[07:52] <kkathman> hmmm now I wonder how I launch freeciv?
[07:52] <Hobbsee> run command?
[07:52] <kkathman> aha! its on the menu :)
[07:53] <kkathman> now thats kewl
[07:53] <Hobbsee> or the menu
[07:53] <Hobbsee> lol
[07:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> lol
[07:54] <kkathman> hmm not exactly like civ3 :)
[07:55] <Kamping_Kaiser> lol.
[07:55] <Kamping_Kaiser> its got crap graphics :( thats my only issue with it
[07:55] <kkathman> yah I noticed
[07:58] <BROKEN_LADDER> okay, i understand what standby and power off are.  what is "suspend" on my monitor?
[07:59] <Kamping_Kaiser> wb aftertaf
[07:59] <Hobbsee> hi aftertaf 
[08:00] <aftertaf> hi guys
[08:00] <aftertaf> + gals ;)
[08:01] <Hobbsee> :)
[08:01] <Kamping_Kaiser> :)
[08:06] <pbw> i made a patched ncftp package that allows remote file edit with vim (or whatever your default editor of choice is). Should i submit that patch to be included with official package, or submit the patched version to universe or whatever?
[08:06] <kkathman> hey there aftertaf  :)
[08:06] <Kamping_Kaiser> pbw: ask the motus #ubuntu-motu iirc
[08:06] <Kamping_Kaiser> they will have hte answers :)
[08:07] <crimsun> patches are best.
[08:08] <pbw> alrighty thanks.. new to (k)ubuntu. So i wasnt sure how things go with that
[08:09] <aftertaf> hi kkathman :)
[08:10] <nmorse> So, guys, what would produce an Operation Not Permitted error when loading ndiswrapper?
[08:10] <nmorse> As root?
[08:11] <nalioth> if the driver doesnt match
[08:11] <nmorse> Ndiswrapper says hardware present
[08:13] <nalioth> you may have chosen the wrong driver for it
[08:14] <nalioth> i'm not familiar with ndiswrapper ( i run powerpc hardware)
[08:20] <stbain> !w32codecs
[08:20] <ubotu> I guess w32codecs is a set of audio/video codecs for DVD-Video. To download the debs: http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy)
[08:22] <kkathman> ubotu: you guess?
[08:22] <ubotu> kkathman: Are you on ritalin?
[08:22] <kkathman> ubotu: nah.. but close :)
[08:22] <ubotu> kkathman: Are you smoking crack?
[08:22] <kkathman> There ya go!
[08:23] <Kamping_Kaiser> clever bot :)
[08:23] <kkathman> process of deduction of course :)
[08:23] <Kamping_Kaiser> heh
[08:23] <kkathman> sometimes we just gotta have some fun :)
[08:24] <aftertaf> !party
[08:24] <ubotu> Not a clue, aftertaf
[08:24] <aftertaf> !disco
[08:24] <ubotu> Woo Yeah, boogie on down...... **flashing lights*** party :D
[08:24] <Kamping_Kaiser> lol
[08:24] <kkathman> lol
[08:26] <ilba7r> is there an rss feed for breezy updates and general ubuntu news?
[08:27] <nalioth> ilba7r: you should be able to find one at wiki.ubuntu.com
[08:27] <ilba7r> thanx nalioth
[08:27] <raphink> ilba7r: http://kubuntu.org/kubuntu.rss
[08:27] <kkathman> ilba7r: have you tried Kontakt?
[08:28] <kkathman> oh wait..is that right?
[08:29] <ilba7r> kkathman I am using opera under gnome
[08:29] <kkathman> yeah its Kontact
[08:29] <kkathman> thought so
[08:29] <kkathman> its already installed on your K
[08:29] <kkathman> ohh you want it inside Opera?
[08:30] <ilba7r> i do not use kontact and i got it under opera
[08:30] <ilba7r> thanx raphink
[08:30] <kkathman> ilba7r: why not look at the opera plugins then
[08:30] <ilba7r> thanx kkathman all i needed was the website
[08:30] <kkathman> okie doke
[08:33] <kkathman> Im off to bed...cyall later :)
[08:42] <dsb> anyone awake?
[08:43] <aftertaf> yep
[08:43] <eGaTS> i am :)
[08:43] <aftertaf> considering i just got up.
[08:43] <dsb> Hola
[08:43] <eGaTS> i just got kubuntu up and running last night
[08:44] <aftertaf> congrats :)
[08:44] <eGaTS> and as soon as it loaded, my power went out
[08:44] <eGaTS> and didn't come back on until just now
[08:44] <dsb> I had it running, but I bailed on it, went back to what worked for me
[08:44] <aftertaf> doh...
[08:44] <aftertaf> dsb:  how did you bail?
[08:45] <dsb> Well I was disappointed by the firefox/flash crashes
[08:45] <eGaTS> is firefox unstable in kubuntu?
[08:45] <dsb> I hope it gets better
[08:46] <aftertaf> seems ok on mine.....
[08:46] <eGaTS> that's my favorite browser
[08:46] <raphink> konqui powa!
[08:46] <dsb> My understanding is that in k/ubuntu is that all packages are binaries
[08:46] <raphink> nope dsb 
[08:46] <raphink> you can get sources too
[08:47] <dsb> ok, sure
[08:47] <eGaTS> anyone have any advice for a newbie? apps to get, settings to tweak, etc.
[08:47] <dsb> but, for grandma to use
[08:47] <dsb> Im not ready to give here a go
[08:47] <nalioth> !repos
[08:47] <raphink> dsb: then most linux distros 
[08:47] <ubotu> sources is, like, at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969 (Hoary) or http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/2325 (Breezy)
[08:47] <raphink> eGaTS: what do you mean?
[08:47] <nalioth> eGaTS: enable universe and multiverse and have fun
[08:47] <raphink> like what for?
[08:47] <dsb> did that all that
[08:48] <eGaTS> i have no idea what that means :(
[08:48] <raphink> eGaTS: what kind of programs do you want?
[08:48] <dsb> and I have found similar postings to the problem, so its not isolated to me
[08:48] <dsb> its about the packaging of the binaries of firefox and flash
[08:48] <aftertaf> eGaTS:  look at te url ubotu just mentioned, do what it says...... you can add more possibilities to your kubuntu that way.
[08:48] <eGaTS> i just got thos os up and running, and i want some toys to play with
[08:48] <dsb> I've even seen the bug reports
[08:49] <eGaTS> *this
[08:49] <aftertaf> eGaTS:  toys?    do you want to install loads of things, or set sth specific up?
[08:49] <raphink> eGaTS: there are about 18000 packages available once you activate universe and multiverse
[08:49] <dsb> but dont get me wrong, I do like many aspects of it, and Im hoping for the best
[08:49] <raphink> so you've got to be more specific about the kind of prog you'd like to play with ;)
[08:49] <eGaTS> that will make it even harder for me to sort out the cool stuff
[08:50] <aftertaf> eGaTS:  its hard to just install loads of stuff and know what t do with it.... there is SO much
[08:50] <aftertaf> eGaTS:  depends on your definition of col... ;)
[08:50] <aftertaf> *cppl
[08:50] <raphink> eGaTS: no that won't, most of it is cool stuff :)
[08:50] <eGaTS> i wish someone would port trillian to *nix
[08:50] <raphink> aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrghhhhhhhhhhh
[08:50] <dsb> play with octave, gnuplot, kile, gcc, python, ksudoku
[08:50] <aftertaf> eGaTS:  no need...........
[08:50] <raphink> trillian is a pain
[08:51] <raphink> there is much much better on *nix
[08:51] <aftertaf> eGaTS:  you have kopete, gaim, ...,...?...?...,
[08:51] <raphink> :)
[08:51] <eGaTS> they seem too "bubbly"
[08:51] <raphink> bubbly??
[08:51] <dsb> use command line
[08:51] <eGaTS> :)
[08:51] <raphink> lol
[08:51] <eGaTS> how?
[08:51] <raphink> kopete is much better than trillian imo
[08:52] <raphink> even gaim is ;)
[08:52] <eGaTS> command line IM would kick @$$
[08:52] <nalioth> eGaTS: centericq or bitlbee (and there are others)
[08:52] <pbw> naim i believe is term based
[08:52] <eGaTS> i mainly liked trillian for its event managing system
[08:52] <dsb> I did it with a ncurses and yahoo a couple years ago
[08:53] <eGaTS> i think they called it "automation" in later versions
[08:53] <raphink> eGaTS: the first thing you should do on *nix is to forget about windows apps
[08:53] <raphink> we have equivalents for them
[08:53] <eGaTS> thanks for the links though... i'll be off to explore the universe
[08:53] <dsb> except when you want to interact with the rest of the world
[08:54] <dsb> but thats not the fault of *nix community
[08:54] <raphink> dsb: how does that prevent you to interact with the rest of the world to be using equivalents?
[08:55] <raphink> kopete & gaim work great with msn, aim, icq, yahoo and many more
[08:55] <dsb> for example: the other day my moms went to a site to order some doggie thing for my sister
[08:55] <raphink> kontact allows you to share emails and more with every people in the world
[08:55] <dsb> moms was using the latest OS X
[08:55] <eGaTS> no need for a winblows argument in here
[08:55] <eGaTS> it's like beating a dead horse.
[08:55] <raphink> dsb: in konqueror, you can change the identity of your browser
[08:55] <raphink> so that most websites work fine
[08:55] <dsb> the damn site shopping cart was borked, so she called, they said it was a problem with macs
[08:55] <raphink> on some sites
[08:56] <dsb> she was using firefox
[08:56] <raphink> I have to use the Firefox or the IE6 spoofing
[08:56] <raphink> yes
[08:56] <raphink> and i'm telling you dsb that as you are on KDE, Konqueror (which is the default browser in KDE, not Firefox) allows you to use spoofing
[08:56] <raphink> to prevent these things
[08:57] <raphink> my bank website
[08:57] <raphink> won't let me connect with anything else than IE6 or Firefox
[08:57] <dsb> Im not using Konq
[08:57] <pbw> comaplining to the websites is the only way to get something done about it.. and *nod* konqueror is sexy
[08:57] <raphink> same with Gmail
[08:57] <raphink> so I use spoofing and it works fine ;)
[08:57] <dsb> I use firefox, and I use it just fine
[08:57] <raphink> good for you ;)
[08:57] <eGaTS> i think what you're calling "sexy" is what i meant by "bubbly"
[08:57] <cyne> anyone had luck scanning with old parallel port scanners ?
[08:58] <aftertaf> really raphink lol... cool
[08:58] <dsb> I did complain to the company, but they said it was a mac problem
[08:58] <raphink> I don't use firefox because what I like the most about KDE is app integration :)
[08:58] <eGaTS> sexy to me in minimalistic ;)
[08:58] <raphink> eGaTS: then use the console only
[08:58] <dsb> and that is ludicrous for them to say
[08:58] <raphink> or use fluxbox rather than KDE
[08:58] <raphink> that'll be minimalistic
[08:59] <pbw> i use pekwm as my main wm.. try that if you're looking for minimalistic and flexible
[08:59] <cyne> Kooka and XSane can't find my parallel scanner :(
[08:59] <pbw> fluxbox = bleh
[08:59] <pbw> it's like a handicapped pek
[08:59] <eGaTS> root@eGaTS:~#  <--sexy :)
[09:01] <nalioth> root@eGaTS:~#   <--dangerous
[09:02] <eGaTS> lol
[09:02] <eGaTS> i've surprisingly not had any hardware issues (yet)
[09:02] <eGaTS> that was my biggest worry
[09:04] <nalioth> aftertaf: share or else!
[09:04] <raphink> e17 is not packaged for ubuntu yet, right?
[09:05] <aftertaf> nalioth:  share???? :D
[09:05] <nalioth> raphink: not yet
[09:05] <cyne> anyone had luck getting parallel port scanners working yet?
[09:05] <aftertaf> raphink:  nope, its not yet released as 'stable'
[09:05] <nalioth> 02:02  * aftertaf does e17   <<<< share your secret!
[09:05] <aftertaf> but a E17 dev has made some ubuntu debs from cvs as of a week old.
[09:05] <aftertaf> !e17
[09:05] <raphink> aftertaf: kde 3.5 is not yet released as stable
[09:05] <raphink> yet it's available
[09:06] <aftertaf> http://www.soulmachine.net/wiki/index.php?title=Enlightenment_on_Ubuntu_5.10_%28Breezy_Badger%29
[09:06] <aftertaf> raphink:  as is e17 :) ^^^^^^^^^
[09:06] <aftertaf> it is damn fine too :)
[09:06] <nalioth> aftertaf: i've had no luck with that site or it's repos
[09:07] <aftertaf> nalioth:  its a new repository.. the old soulmachine repos has been changed.....
[09:07] <aftertaf> or, you can do it from cvs... www.get-e.org
[09:07] <nalioth> aftertaf: because, you insensitive tease! it's only for x86!
[09:07] <eGaTS> what's "backports"? should i add that one?
[09:08] <cyne> what is the default scanner device under /dev ?
[09:08] <aftertaf> nalioth:  argh....   cant you usethem at all? from sourcecode? !
[09:08] <nalioth> aftertaf: lemme check the dates on the src pkgs
[09:08] <aftertaf> hehe
[09:09] <nalioth> actually there are no source pkgs there
[09:09] <nalioth> and current e17 cvs wont compile
[09:09] <aftertaf> nope, just binaries....  but you can install it from cvs source no pbs.
[09:09] <nalioth> on x86 or ppc ubuntu breezy
[09:09] <nalioth> no '"I"" cannot
[09:09] <nalioth> i've tried compiling it in several different ways on several different machines
[09:10] <aftertaf> tell them on #e what the errors are... it 'should' just work(tm) ;)
[09:10] <aftertaf> there is even a version that can run on palms and pdas.
[09:10] <raphink> it installs 0.16
[09:10] <raphink> it won't install e17
[09:10] <raphink> though it finds it with apt-cache :s
[09:10] <aftertaf> raphink:  you need to set pin priority..
[09:11] <raphink> how?
[09:11] <aftertaf> its in the wiki....... hang on 
[09:11] <aftertaf> /etc/apt/preferences
[09:11] <aftertaf> http://www.soulmachine.net/wiki/index.php?title=Enlightenment_on_Ubuntu_5.10_%28Breezy_Badger%29
[09:11] <aftertaf> raphink:  ^^^^^^see step 1
[09:11] <nalioth> aftertaf: it WONT compile, has nothing to do with binary pinning
[09:12] <nalioth> blah
[09:12] <nalioth> e is makin me crazy
[09:12] <aftertaf> nalioth:  nope thats for the priorities with e16
[09:12] <aftertaf> nalioth:  come to #e and mention your pbs....
[09:12] <raphink> found
[09:12] <aftertaf> someone on there is doing it on amd64, another says he knows ppl with PPC & e17...
[09:14] <nalioth> i have been to #e several times
[09:14] <aftertaf> nalioth:  whats the error ? is it on compile?
[09:15] <nalioth> evas will not compile
[09:15] <aftertaf> evas.... ok. on the ./configure part?
[09:16] <aftertaf> callipygous aftertaf: i got it working on an old 7200 powermac
[09:16] <aftertaf> callipygous under debian
[09:17] <nalioth> aftertaf: my itch is fixin to be scratched..
[09:17] <aftertaf> hehehe ;)
[09:17] <aftertaf> i understand dude :)
[09:17] <nalioth> soulmachine was not responding the last few days when i tried to get it on my new lappy
[09:18] <aftertaf> what did evas say when it failed to compile?
[09:20] <raphink> e17 looks like a white screen on my comp somehow
[09:20] <aftertaf> raphink:  using the debs?
[09:20] <raphink> yep
[09:20] <aftertaf> erf weird.....   tell em at #e . . .   i did it via cvs and it worked fine.
[09:21] <nalioth> aftertaf: 'c compiler cant create executables'
[09:21] <nalioth> which it damned well can ( i compile ppc binaries every day)
[09:22] <aftertaf> for both pbs... checking...
[09:23] <aftertaf> nalioth:  callipygous but i suspect it is your CFLAGS set wrongly
[09:25] <nalioth> aftertaf: i dragged a dev kickin and screaming into one of my lairs and tried all kinds of CFLAG settings
[09:31] <nalioth> aftertaf: i hate non compiling source code
[09:33] <aftertaf> erf i nderstand...
[09:33] <nalioth> nwo to figure out how to drive it
[09:34] <aftertaf> to drive it?
[09:35] <aftertaf> ill persist in asking them though... ;)
[09:45] <mornfall> bahmpf
[09:49] <aftertaf> maybe you could become an expert tester for them with PPC ? ;)
[09:50] <nalioth> aftertaf: unfortunately, you mentioned soulseek, and i went there. when the page loaded, i installed e on my new x86 ubuntu lappy
[09:50] <nalioth> the site has been non responsive for days
[09:51] <Snifffurt> hi
[09:51] <Hobbsee> hi
[09:53] <Snifffurt> I have "http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy main restricted universe multiverse
[09:53] <Snifffurt> " as my Network repository. But it seems there is no Adobe Acrobat, or flashplayer-mozilla on it. What repositorys will serve these debs?
[09:53] <Hobbsee> !info acroread
[09:53] <ubotu> acroread: (Adobe Acrobat Reader: Portable Document Format file viewer), section multiverse/text, is optional. Version: 7.0.1-0.0.ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 22263 kB, Installed size: 53192 kB
[09:53] <aftertaf> hehe nalioth :)
[09:54] <Hobbsee> Snifffurt: acroread is in multiverse, so that should be there
[09:55] <Hobbsee> Snifffurt: check http://doc.ubuntu.com/gnome/faqi386/C/ch03.html to see if there's anything there of interest
[09:56] <Hobbsee> Snifffurt: http://doc.ubuntu.com/gnome/faqi386/C/ch03s06.html#id3154389 in particular
[09:57] <Snifffurt> Hobbsee: ok, I will, but as is, there is no acroread ? O-|-O
[09:57] <Snifffurt> thx
[09:57] <Snifffurt> Hobbsee, but I have a amd64 kubuntu thow
[09:58] <Hobbsee> Snifffurt: there's a pdf reader called kpdf which you might find useful - it doesnt integrate with firefox, but it does open a lot faster
[09:58] <Hobbsee> i'm not sure about amd64 stuff, there might be packages, there might not
[09:59] <Snifffurt> I just want acroread for acurate visualisation of pdf files I need for graphical issues.
[09:59] <Snifffurt> IFAIK OS based pdf vievwers are fine, but not accurate in every case ?
[10:00] <Hobbsee> not sure on that one, i would expect that they're the same - isnt that the point of a pdf?
[10:00] <nalioth> Snifffurt: have you visited adobe.com for a acroread?
[10:01] <Snifffurt> nope, is there a deb package.?
[10:02] <nalioth> Snifffurt: on amd64 arch there are not a lot of "end user friendly" programs
[10:02] <nalioth> especially commercial ones
[10:03] <Snifffurt> mhh, but it should be possible to run it. I could run it on my other amd64 linux
[10:04] <Snifffurt> in theoretical way at least
[10:27] <aftertaf> so nalioth you got it working on your 'other' laptop?
[10:28] <nalioth> aftertaf: as soon as i learned soulmachine was back up, it was on in less than 2 minutes
[10:29] <aftertaf> hehe. does it work ok with the debs then?
[10:30] <nalioth> aftertaf: dunno, i uncommented the uncooperative line in my sources.list and it worked this time
[10:30] <nalioth> so i guess it does
[10:30] <nikkia> Snifffurt: i find that kpdf works fine, when it works... but with user manuals, i often just get X lines across every page because of some error
[10:30] <nalioth> nikkia: salutations!
[10:31] <nikkia> morning nalioth
[10:31] <nalioth> nothing intriguing you atm, nikkia ?
[10:31] <nikkia> intriguing ?
[10:32] <nikkia> the problem is, my boss said last night 'oh, you know that project i asked you to work on last week, that i said wasn't a 'real' rush, and you'd be best spending some time getting used to the source code and learning its function, well the guy that supports the 3rd party library we use is leaving his company on friday, it needs to be finished before then'
[10:34] <Tm_T> =)
[10:34] <aftertaf> lol, nice of your boss :/
[10:35] <nikkia> aftertaf: to be fair, he only found out yesterday too
[10:37] <aftertaf> yeah, well.... that does excuse a bit then ;)
[10:38] <nikkia> still doesn't make it 'fun'
[10:38] <aftertaf> true, seeing as you have until tomorrow...
[10:41] <nikkia> aftertaf: in reality, i can harass him to give me support after that, after all, his work email is his home email :P
[10:41] <nikkia> (some people do the silliest things)
[10:46] <aftertaf> hhe
[10:50] <LinuxCart> Hello all
[10:51] <LinuxCart> is it possible to install kubuntu from the live CD?
[10:52] <Hobbsee> no
[10:52] <Hobbsee> you need the kubuntu install cd to install kubuntu
[10:52] <LinuxCart> :(
[10:52] <LinuxCart> oh
[10:52] <Hobbsee> or the ubuntu install cd, then apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[10:53] <LinuxCart> yes
[10:54] <LinuxCart> but is there any workaround that doesn't imply downloading a whole CD?
[10:54] <Kaiser_Games> download the dvd ;)
[10:54] <Hobbsee> lol @ Kaiser_Games 
[10:54] <Hobbsee> that's even worse!
[10:54] <LinuxCart> ja
[10:54] <LinuxCart> ...
[10:55] <LinuxCart> ja
[10:55] <LinuxCart> :|
[10:55] <aftertaf> or better.... you have both possibilities then...
[10:55] <LinuxCart> what are them?
[10:55] <aftertaf> LinuxCart:  or you can doanload the debian netinstaller cd and change your sources to breezy before updating.
[10:55] <LinuxCart> ahh
[10:56] <LinuxCart> that sounds better
[10:56] <LinuxCart> well don't worry 
[10:56] <LinuxCart> I understand
[10:57] <aftertaf> :)
[10:57] <aftertaf> doesnt seem that hard t do, just never done it myself ;)
[10:57] <LinuxCart> and the other?
[10:57] <LinuxCart> ah
[10:57] <LinuxCart> sorry
[10:57] <LinuxCart> I now understand
[10:57] <aftertaf> :) s'ok
[10:58] <LinuxCart> I have some experience with debian
[10:58] <aftertaf> LinuxCart:  then youll be fine with (k)ubuntu.... its the same thing, just different
[10:59] <Kaiser_Games> hahahha
[10:59] <LinuxCart> yes
[10:59] <aftertaf> bah, its true....
[10:59] <LinuxCart> I'm suggesting a dude to install it
[11:00] <oatis> would vmware work w/ the amd 64 release?
[11:00] <LinuxCart> though he hasn't ever tried linux
[11:00] <aftertaf> LinuxCart:  its good for that type of thing too... easy enough to start with, hardcore enough to stay with
[11:00] <Snifffurt> nalioth: digging the forums I found out, that many i386 apps will run on amd64 with the ia32* libs installed... I've just got skype running this way...
[11:01] <nalioth> Snifffurt: yes in a chroot or something like that
[11:01] <Snifffurt> no
[11:01] <Snifffurt> nalioth, no chroot
[11:01] <Snifffurt> just with the ia32 libs
[11:02] <nalioth> Snifffurt: there are many ways, here in ubuntuland we hear 'chroot' all the time
[11:02] <nalioth> i dont think i've heard ia32 before
[11:02] <Snifffurt> this is called multiarch, wich is still in debian developpment. future debian versions will support this by default
[11:02] <aftertaf> :]  nice
[11:03] <aftertaf> debian is coooool
[11:03] <Snifffurt> Now I just "dpkg --force all -i"'d it
[11:03] <aftertaf> multiarch i a package?
[11:03] <aftertaf> *is.?
[11:03] <Snifffurt> nope
[11:03] <Snifffurt> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=10037&highlight=acroread+amd64
[11:04] <aftertaf> k, cool ;)
[11:04] <nalioth> Snifffurt: safer to have apt compile it from debian source repos
[11:04] <Snifffurt> the 2nd posting from the bottom is the important one
[11:05] <Snifffurt> nalioth, probbably
[11:05] <Snifffurt> nalioth, but I think there's no way arround skype for example
[11:05] <Snifffurt> or macromedia flash player
[11:05] <nalioth> not commercial things, no
[11:06] <Snifffurt> nalioth, well, I would use non commercial variants... but to be honest... are there propper SVG authoring tools arround jet? are there Propper browser plugins arround jet?
[11:07] <nalioth> inkscape is svg
[11:07] <Snifffurt> but not authoring
[11:07] <Snifffurt> it is a vector graphic prog wich uses svg
[11:07] <nalioth> inkscape creates svg
[11:07] <Snifffurt> but this is not authoring
[11:08] <Snifffurt> svg would/could have the same capabillities as flash
[11:08] <nalioth> Snifffurt: vo kommen sie?
[11:08] <_rik> !w32codecs
[11:08] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, w32codecs is a set of audio/video codecs for DVD-Video. To download the debs: http://tinyurl.com/bwomt (Hoary), or http://tinyurl.com/bpxbf (Breezy)
[11:08] <Snifffurt> from switzerland
[11:09] <nalioth> Snifffurt: thought .ch was familaer
[11:09] <Snifffurt> familiaer?
[11:10] <nalioth> familiar
[11:10] <Snifffurt> ah, I thought you've maybe meant familr
[11:10] <Snifffurt> thats why ;)
[11:10] <aftertaf> http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2004/01/msg00035.html <-- multiarch proposition.
[11:11] <nalioth> nein, ich spreche eine bischen deutsch
[11:11] <Snifffurt> :)
[11:12] <Snifffurt> I guess your from ZA
[11:13] <Snifffurt> dunno thow
[11:13] <nalioth> mich? ich bin aus Texas
[11:13] <Snifffurt> ah so
[11:13] <Snifffurt> lol
[11:13] <nalioth> i'm well travelled for a Texas boy
[11:13] <l0rd> hey, es wird deutsch gesprochen...:D
[11:13] <Snifffurt> hehehe
[11:13] <Snifffurt> ok knnen wir schon machen
[11:14] <l0rd> good morning, btw...;)
[11:14] <Snifffurt> ihr msst nur noch eure Umlaute hervorkramen
[11:14] <Snifffurt> hehehe
[11:14] <l0rd> 
[11:14] <Snifffurt> l0rd, das gilt nicht
[11:14] <Snifffurt> l0rd, du kommst aus Deutschland
[11:14] <Snifffurt> hehehe
[11:14] <aftertaf>  je comprends mais que dalle de ce que vous racontez l les mecs......
[11:14] <l0rd> sure...;>
[11:15] <Hobbsee> ich vergesse alle meine Deutsch
[11:15] <Hobbsee> *vergessen
[11:15] <nalioth> mich auch
[11:15] <nalioth> lol
[11:16] <Snifffurt> Jai oublier tout ma franais
[11:17] <nalioth> room full of multilinguals here
[11:18] <Hobbsee> lol
[11:18] <Hobbsee> only cos they forced us to learn some german thru school
[11:18] <aftertaf> hehe. true.
[11:19] <aftertaf>  forgot like alllll my german though, only did 2 years and was no good.
[11:19] <nalioth> i learned all my languages voluntarily
[11:20] <Hobbsee> ours was around 4 years...still wasnt very useful
[11:20] <Snifffurt> I've learnd all my languages in practice. Not at scool
[11:20] <l0rd> looks like there are ppl from around the world in this chan...
[11:20] <Hobbsee> we learned useless stuff like how to say "saltmine" - i mean, how does one use that in regular conversation????
[11:20] <Hobbsee> there are
[11:20] <raphink> school sux to teach languages
[11:20] <Snifffurt> French, this was the one I only learnt at school, and I can hardly build a scentence
[11:21] <raphink> I'm happy I can speak french fluently ;)
[11:21] <BROKEN_LADDER> how can i set the gmail-notifier to start up when i log in?
[11:21] <BROKEN_LADDER> it doesn't respect sessioning.
[11:21] <BROKEN_LADDER> somehow.
[11:22] <Hobbsee> BROKEN_LADDER: create a symlink to it in ~/.kde/Autostart
[11:22] <nikkia> Hobbsee: knowing how to say 'saltmine' is probably useful in russian :P
[11:22] <Hobbsee> nikkia: why in russian?
[11:22] <BROKEN_LADDER> Hobbsee ahh..thanks.
[11:22] <nikkia> Hobbsee: as in 'please don't send me to the saltmines, i'll tell you everything'
[11:23] <Hobbsee> nikkia: ah right...
[11:23] <Hobbsee> no problems
[11:23] <Snifffurt> It is hard to tell if it is realy usless to learn a word you never use
[11:23] <Snifffurt> because the brain has enough capacity to store all the information
[11:23] <Snifffurt> the unnecessary as well
[11:23] <BROKEN_LADDER> sure it does.
[11:24] <nikkia> indeed, at the time i did my french oral exam, i thought it utterly pointless to know how to say 'i lost my video camera on the beach', because at that time, noone in their right mind would take a video camera to a beach, or be stupid enough to lose it
[11:24] <BROKEN_LADDER> maybe under ideal conditions where your programming hasn't been messed up by tons of bad mutations.
[11:26] <nikkia> of course, these days, 20 years later, losing a video camera on a beach is probably a routine daily occurance *shrug*
[11:26] <BROKEN_LADDER> wow, this is uber c heap. http://www.craigslist.org/eby/apa/106717598.html
[11:26] <Hobbsee> hehe, probably is
[11:26] <unstableabel> Hobbsee: you do not learn things you expect when learning a language... vocabulary is important not just for its use in a sentence
[11:26] <BROKEN_LADDER> nikkia in esperanto i think i could say that.
[11:27] <nikkia> BROKEN_LADDER: i can say it in any language... '<shout, very loudly>I LOST MY VIDEO CAMERA'
[11:27] <Hobbsee> unstableabel: that assumes that you learn enough to let you be able to speak in reasonable conversatoin at all.  Unfortunately, the way we learned it, it focused on random words, and not on how to actually hold a conversation, so we could stick the random words in
[11:27] <nikkia> golden rule, english is universal when you shout it loud enough :P
[11:27] <Hobbsee> lol @ nikkia 
[11:27] <Hobbsee> yep
[11:27] <Snifffurt> lol
[11:28] <unstableabel> Hobbsee: you don't get my point ... learning words is not just to build up a repertoire of words for use in sentences. words (and word formation) have other uses, they allow your brain to create generalizations of the language without having to take a PhD in lexicology
[11:29] <nikkia> Hobbsee: there is justification for taking the 'if they don't understand, shout it' routine
[11:29] <Hobbsee> that is true
[11:29] <Hobbsee> nikkia: indeed
[11:29] <aftertaf> raphink:  toi aussi ?? ;)
[11:29] <BROKEN_LADDER> mi maltrovis mian videan kameraon sur la plag`o.
[11:29] <raphink> aftertaf: ?
[11:29] <raphink> moi aussi quoi?
[11:29] <nikkia> Hobbsee: that being, that there is a chance a passer by will overhear, realise that the person doesn't understand, speak english themselves, and offer to help :P
[11:29] <Hobbsee> lol...indeed
[11:29] <BROKEN_LADDER> esperanto is the most beautiful thing ever.
[11:29] <BROKEN_LADDER> so is the dvorak keymap.
[11:30] <Snifffurt> yea, you can draw conclusions from it and the brain gets trained
[11:30] <crimsun> function before form
[11:30] <aftertaf> raphink:  fluent frenchie ;)
[11:30] <nikkia> BROKEN_LADDER: i'm in two minds on dvorak
[11:30] <raphink> aftertaf: ben c'est ma langue maternelle d'un autre ct ;)
[11:30] <nikkia> BROKEN_LADDER: it is nice for tying written english, but utterly annoying for coding
[11:30] <nikkia> tying=typing
[11:31] <Snifffurt> BROKEN_LADDER, esperanto must be quite easy to learn. I can decript the scentence ( ok I know it), But I guess it would not be too hard do do it with an other easy scentence
[11:31] <aftertaf> raphink:  ca a tendence  aider un peu aussi ;)
[11:31] <raphink> ;)
[11:32] <raphink> j'avais repr que tu tais franais ceci dit ;)
[11:32] <raphink> avec un pseudo comme a c'est pas dur ;)
[11:32] <BROKEN_LADDER> the problem right now is, breezy messed up my x, so i can't use my third level chooser to type the accented esperanto characters.
[11:32] <BROKEN_LADDER> so i just type ` after them.
[11:33] <raphink> BROKEN_LADDER: I personally prefer ido over esperanto
[11:33] <BROKEN_LADDER> lol
[11:33] <raphink> it's easier and more logical
[11:33] <BROKEN_LADDER> ido sucks.
[11:33] <BROKEN_LADDER> no it's not
[11:33] <BROKEN_LADDER> it's just ugly.
[11:33] <raphink> well to me it is
[11:33] <BROKEN_LADDER> it sounds western european.
[11:33] <raphink> sure it does
[11:33] <BROKEN_LADDER> i don't know what's easier about it.
[11:33] <BROKEN_LADDER> i hate that.
[11:33] <raphink> and I'm western european so I prefer it
[11:33] <raphink> ;)
[11:33] <BROKEN_LADDER> i like how esperanto sounds so eastern.  eastern european languages sound more sophisticated.
[11:33] <Snifffurt> raphink, so do I
[11:33] <BROKEN_LADDER> more northern.
[11:33] <raphink> it's also more logical on many points
[11:33] <raphink> like
[11:33] <BROKEN_LADDER> ido?
[11:33] <raphink> plurals in -i
[11:33] <BROKEN_LADDER> ?
[11:34] <BROKEN_LADDER> why is that logical?
[11:34] <raphink> are found in many more languages
[11:34] <BROKEN_LADDER> i think it's freakin stupid.
[11:34] <raphink> than plural in -j
[11:34] <BROKEN_LADDER> so what.
[11:34] <Snifffurt> Ok, i sugesst you to learn hungarian then :P
[11:34] <Snifffurt> hehehe
[11:34] <BROKEN_LADDER> hungarian is uralic.
[11:34] <BROKEN_LADDER> like finnish.
[11:34] <BROKEN_LADDER> and estonian.
[11:34] <Snifffurt> absolutly impossible to learn
[11:34] <BROKEN_LADDER> hungarian is more different from english, than english is from japanese.
[11:34] <Snifffurt> probbably
[11:34] <BROKEN_LADDER> no it totally is.
[11:35] <BROKEN_LADDER> it's not indo-european.
[11:35] <Snifffurt> but the difference is not the only hard thing about it
[11:35] <Snifffurt> it is just CCoooooooooomplicated
[11:35] <raphink> 27 declinations...
[11:35] <BROKEN_LADDER> what's a declination?
[11:35] <raphink> I began learning hungarian and soon gave up
[11:35] <BROKEN_LADDER> why did you even start? :)
[11:35] <Snifffurt> in german we have 4 of them
[11:35] <raphink> yes Snifffurt 
[11:35] <BROKEN_LADDER> i really wish i could be dictator and force esperanto.
[11:35] <raphink> and up to 6 in slavonic languages
[11:35] <unstableabel> BROKEN_LADDER: thats stupid
[11:36] <raphink> BROKEN_LADDER: I don't think this is the idea of esperanto
[11:36] <raphink> and I'm always surprised to see such close-mind people using esperanto
[11:36] <crimsun> you guys get so offtopic in here.
[11:36] <raphink> that just kills the idea of it
[11:36] <BROKEN_LADDER> raphink i would say about ido, that the i is no more logical than the j.  it's just what you prefer.  the j (y) sound is much more intellectual sounding to me.
[11:36] <unstableabel> crimsun: :)
[11:36] <crimsun> (hint, kubuntu-offtopic)
[11:36] <Snifffurt> crimsun, guess your right
[11:36] <Snifffurt> hehehe
[11:36] <raphink> the idea of esperanto is to be easy for most people
[11:36] <raphink> and it's much easier for most europeans to use -i 
[11:36] <raphink> than -j
[11:36] <BROKEN_LADDER> as dictator i would force dvorak keymap, vorbis, metric system, kelvin temperature measurements, etc.
[11:36] <raphink> which is only used in ancient greek
[11:36] <BROKEN_LADDER> all logic all the time.
[11:37] <BROKEN_LADDER> how is it easier?
[11:37] <BROKEN_LADDER> i'm an american and i found the j to be very logical and easy.
[11:37] <nikkia> BROKEN_LADDER: you'd force dvorak on non-english speakers? that's cruel
[11:37] <BROKEN_LADDER> it just sounds like an oy when you say oj
[11:37] <BROKEN_LADDER> and j is pronounced like a j in slavic languages a lot.
[11:37] <unstableabel> aha, we have an "american" amongst us ;)
[11:37] <BROKEN_LADDER> nikkia i'd force esperanto-dvorak on esperanto speakers.
[11:37] <BROKEN_LADDER> which would be everyone.
[11:37] <BROKEN_LADDER> every man woman and child.
[11:38] <BROKEN_LADDER> uh..american?
[11:38] <BROKEN_LADDER> i hate this country.
[11:38] <BROKEN_LADDER> er..our government.
[11:38] <BROKEN_LADDER> i have donated 100$ at least to the impeach bush campaign.
[11:38] <unstableabel> you seem so much like it though :)
[11:38] <BROKEN_LADDER> no.  i want world peace.
[11:38] <BROKEN_LADDER> and perfection.
[11:38] <nikkia> BROKEN_LADDER: fair enough, when it happens, you'll recognise me as the woman 1 mile away on the building roof with a AW50 :P
[11:38] <unstableabel> ah yes, your kind of perfection i presume :)
[11:38] <unstableabel> nikkia: LOL
[11:38] <BROKEN_LADDER> i want to live in a world where everyone has clean yards, perfect grammar, genetic perfection to the best of our technological abilities, etc.
[11:39] <raphink> nikkia: :)
[11:39] <raphink> BROKEN_LADDER: go live on mars please
[11:39] <raphink> there you can have that
[11:39] <crimsun> BROKEN_LADDER: so you're unique because you're just like everyone else? :-)
[11:39] <BROKEN_LADDER> raphink lol
[11:39] <BROKEN_LADDER> methinks mars will be settled by idiots.
[11:39] <raphink> then please do
[11:39] <BROKEN_LADDER> unique?
[11:39] <raphink> so you can fulfill your prophecy
[11:39] <BROKEN_LADDER> why would it be bad to fix genetic flaws?
[11:39] <BROKEN_LADDER> why would it be bad to switch to dvorak?  qwerty is obsolete.
[11:39] <raphink> dvorak is good
[11:39] <BROKEN_LADDER> we should abandon obsolete systems.
[11:40] <raphink> but it's a choice
[11:40] <BROKEN_LADDER> it's great.
[11:40] <BROKEN_LADDER> why should it be.
[11:40] <raphink> I tell people it's good to use dvorak
[11:40] <raphink> and I do use it
[11:40] <BROKEN_LADDER> if you are stupid and cling to obsolete technology you should be phased out.
[11:40] <crimsun> this really doesn't belong in #kubuntu at all...
[11:40] <raphink> but you don't get ideas accepted by forcing them
[11:40] <BROKEN_LADDER> nah you're right.
[11:40] <BROKEN_LADDER> then shoot them.
[11:40] <BROKEN_LADDER> just like stalin said.
[11:40] <raphink> I always *propose* people to switch to linux, dvorak and ido
[11:40] <raphink> I never force them to
[11:40] <BROKEN_LADDER> ido sucks.
[11:40] <BROKEN_LADDER> ido is stupid.
[11:40] <Snifffurt> well, the thing BROKEN_LADDER is propagating is actualli happening. I've heard that there where 10,000 Langs arround. There are 5,000 arround nowerdays and there will be less than 2,000 in the future
[11:40] <unstableabel> crimsun: :) atleast, its not about Perl-vs-Python, vi-vs-Emacs, GNOME-vs-KDE :)
[11:40] <BROKEN_LADDER> it's ugly.
[11:41] <BROKEN_LADDER> gnome and kde is a toss up.  i use kde.
[11:41] <BROKEN_LADDER> they both have their advantages and disadvantages.  but gnome is very immature.
[11:41] <unstableabel> Snifffurt: actually, your statistics are wrong by a huge margin, but it is true, world languages are being lost due to english
[11:41] <BROKEN_LADDER> it lacks a lot of functionality.
[11:41] <BROKEN_LADDER> nothing wrong with loosing languages.  everything will be lost some day late in our universe's time frame.
[11:42] <BROKEN_LADDER> the person above me is sawing something.
[11:42] <unstableabel> Snifffurt: it was a piece of statistics compiled by UNESCO
[11:42] <nikkia> BROKEN_LADDER: 'losing' is the word you're looking for </slashdot-grammar-nazi>
[11:42] <crimsun> ok, I "propose" we punt this discussion to -offtopic
[11:42] <BROKEN_LADDER> raphink how does ido handle plural objective?
[11:42] <l0rd> who wants 2 laugh?
[11:42] <BROKEN_LADDER> i just floated over there.
[11:42] <l0rd> http://www.killsometime.com/video/video.asp?ID=348
[11:42] <raphink> what do you mean by plural objective BROKEN_LADDER ?
[11:42] <crimsun> seriously, if it ain't Kubuntu, jab in #kubuntu-offtopic.
[11:43] <unstableabel> BROKEN_LADDER: well, thats a bad thing ... some say that Einstein could'nt have developed relativity if he didn't know German ... i think thats a fair view though not experimentally provable
[11:43] <BROKEN_LADDER> raphink hundo = dog, hundoj = dogs, hundon = objective case of dog, hundojn = plural objective, in esperanto.
[11:43] <raphink> unstableabel: interesting
[11:43] <BROKEN_LADDER> oh..in offtopic..
[11:43] <raphink> I'm convinced philosophy and sciences are linked to languages
[11:43] <BROKEN_LADDER> ??
[11:43] <kinfo> what?
[11:44] <BROKEN_LADDER> that's a weird thought.
[11:44] <unstableabel> crimsun: hmm, else the channel will be quiet :) a community has a lot to discuss other than Kubuntu :)
[11:44] <raphink> and wouldn't exist as they do without the languages in which they were created
[11:44] <unstableabel> raphink: me too :)
[11:44] <hussam> I noticed a problem before I left home today. I'll look more into it once I get home in 5 hours. printing does not work. When I try to access printer settings in kcontrol, I get a message saying soemthing like inistializing printer manager or something. andf it hangs there. The only ting I changed to the system in the last couple of days is adding the pppoe conenction 
[11:44] <raphink> objective case is obsolete BROKEN_LADDER 
[11:44] <raphink> it's given by the order of the words in the sentences
[11:44] <raphink> as in most languages
[11:44] <unstableabel> BROKEN_LADDER: its not at all weird ... your conception of language is something similiar to programming languages, as something to be used ... but there is much more to language
[11:44] <BROKEN_LADDER> raphink oh lord.
[11:44] <BROKEN_LADDER> raphink the big advantage of esperanto is that word order is virtually irrelevant in that case.
[11:44] <raphink> if the goal is to create an _easy_ language 
[11:45] <BROKEN_LADDER> raphink esperanto is easier.
[11:45] <raphink> then declinations and cases are not suitable
[11:45] <hussam> how can I troubleshoot that?
[11:45] <BROKEN_LADDER> you can say things in either order.
[11:45] <BROKEN_LADDER> min amas mia hundo =  mia hundo amas min. = my dog loves me
[11:45] <crimsun> hussam: is it CUPS-related?
[11:45] <unstableabel> raphink: i agree re cases ... i don't know what declinations are though :)
[11:45] <BROKEN_LADDER> mi amas mian hundon = mian hundon amas mi = i love my dog
[11:46] <BROKEN_LADDER> raphink go to offtopic
[11:46] <hussam> crimsun: not sure I removed cups and reinstalled it but It still gave that error. 
[11:46] <raphink> gtg

[11:46] <raphink> BROKEN_LADDER: mind you, not everyone lives in your country ;)
[11:47] <hussam> crimsun: I'm not home right now.
[11:47] <raphink> not even in your side of the world
[11:47] <raphink> and I'm about to have lunch 
[11:47] <BROKEN_LADDER> se jes, tiam respondu al mi.
[11:47] <hussam> crimsun: not near my PC
[11:47] <raphink> I can't bear esperanto, it sounds like marsian to me ;)
[11:47] <BROKEN_LADDER> kie ci log`as?
[11:47] <raphink> impossible to pronounce and ugly 
[11:47] <BROKEN_LADDER> it's so easy to pronounce.
[11:47] <BROKEN_LADDER> you're crazy dude.
[11:47] <raphink> for a european that is
[11:47] <BROKEN_LADDER> pfft
[11:47] <raphink> anyway
[11:47] <BROKEN_LADDER> it's so european.
[11:47] <insanekane> BROKEN_LADDER: ill be happy to crush your cute toy theories about language, but only after half-an-hour
[11:48] <BROKEN_LADDER> lol
[11:48] <BROKEN_LADDER> sure you will.
[11:48] <insanekane> :)
[11:48] <Kamping_Kaiser> and in #kubuntu-offtopic as well.....
[11:48] <BROKEN_LADDER> you have any idea how much i've read about the language?
[11:48] <BROKEN_LADDER> how much time i've spent studying esperanto?
[11:48] <raphink> ido was created as a common language for european countries
[11:48] <raphink> as such it is suitable that it is easy for them
[11:48] <insanekane> BROKEN_LADDER: i'm not talking abt esperanto
[11:48] <BROKEN_LADDER> esperanto has been criticized for being too european.
[11:48] <raphink> and thus close to most european languges
[11:48] <nalioth> yes, the multilingualicity has been goin on rather long
[11:48] <raphink> yes
[11:48] <insanekane> BROKEN_LADDER: im talking abt "language" per se
[11:48] <Kamping_Kaiser> please you lot, take it to off topic. its flooding here unnecesarily
[11:48] <raphink> but esperanto was created for a worldwide use
[11:48] <BROKEN_LADDER> raphink esperanto is primarily based on greek, latin, and germanic roots!
[11:48] <raphink> not ido
[11:49] <raphink> esperanto was created by a polish guy
[11:49] <hussam> crimsun: could it be because I now have two IP addresses on the same network card ( one for lan and one for pppoe)? that's the only thing I changed since I dist upgraded to breezy
[11:49] <BROKEN_LADDER> raphink exactly.
[11:49] <raphink> and it's very close to slavonic languages
[11:49] <BROKEN_LADDER> and eastern europe is where most root words came from, from latin and greek.
[11:49] <BROKEN_LADDER> raphink not really.
[11:49] <raphink> well it's not as germanic as volapuk
[11:49] <hussam> crimsun: or that doesn't affect the print server?
[11:49] <raphink> BROKEN_LADDER: you don't know what a declination is
[11:49] <BROKEN_LADDER> raphink esperanto has structural and phonetic similarities to slavic, but the word base is not slavic.
[11:49] <raphink> so I doubt you know germanic and slavic languages
[11:49] <raphink> at all

[11:50] <Kamping_Kaiser> insanekane: :S :)
[11:50] <raphink> BROKEN_LADDER: begin with learning languages, then you can talk about linguistic 
[11:51] <BROKEN_LADDER> ?
[11:51] <Kamping_Kaiser> *mutter mutter* language blather *mutter mutter*
[11:51] <hussam> crimsun: I'll look more into it when I get home and I'll get back to you. I got to go now
[11:51] <Hobbsee> hehe Kamping_Kaiser - this channel is more off topic than the actual off topic one is
[11:52] <Kamping_Kaiser> Hobbsee: yeh, i know
[11:52] <Kamping_Kaiser> its ok to be off topic, but this is stupid :|
[11:52] <BROKEN_LADDER> is ubuntu supposed to get some graphical system loading thing soon?
[11:52] <raphink> BROKEN_LADDER: when you know about 10 european languages, come and tell me about esperanto and ido
[11:52] <Hobbsee> Kamping_Kaiser: yeah
[11:52] <BROKEN_LADDER> why?
[11:52] <BROKEN_LADDER> why would i need to know several languages?
[11:52] <Hobbsee> BROKEN_LADDER: graphical system loading thing?  as in, while booting up?
[11:52] <BROKEN_LADDER> i just knew english when i began learning esperanto, and esperanto was easy as pie.
[11:53] <Hobbsee> BROKEN_LADDER: if you're on breezy, you should already have one
[11:53] <raphink> because you're talking about whether esperanto is logical for european or not without knowing what you're talking about 
[11:53] <BROKEN_LADDER> no i don't.
[11:53] <BROKEN_LADDER> yes i do know what i'm talking about genius.
[11:53] <BROKEN_LADDER> hundo = germanic
[11:53] <BROKEN_LADDER> tablo = latin
[11:53] <BROKEN_LADDER> err..
[11:53] <raphink> great ;)
[11:53] <BROKEN_LADDER> god i need to go to bed
[11:53] <raphink> I think so too
[11:53] <Hobbsee> can we please kill the chats about languages - there's #kubuntu-offtopic for that
[11:53] <BROKEN_LADDER> raphink won't go there
[11:54] <raphink> yep Hobbsee 
[11:54] <l0rd> bed? where are you from?
[11:54] <raphink> sorry for that
[11:54] <Hobbsee> bed's overrated
[11:54] <BROKEN_LADDER> you're saying breezy has a graphical loader?
[11:54] <Kamping_Kaiser> :| listent to Hobbsee but not me :|
[11:54] <BROKEN_LADDER> how do i set it up?
[11:54] <Hobbsee> BROKEN_LADDER: you mean the one while booting up?
[11:54] <Hobbsee> it should auto configure
[11:54] <Hobbsee> Kamping_Kaiser: yes lol
[11:54] <BROKEN_LADDER> Hobbsee yeah.
[11:55] <Hobbsee> BROKEN_LADDER: it should definelty autoconfigure
[11:55] <Hobbsee> !usplash
[11:55] <ubotu> usplash is probably for your information, about Usplash : if you use a home-built kernel, required options are initramfs & framebuffer, that's all ... don't take any prerequisites used for bootsplash or patches in consideration
[11:55] <Hobbsee> say what lol?  im' sure that doesnt make much sense
[11:55] <BROKEN_LADDER> options?
[11:57] <Hobbsee> BROKEN_LADDER: check out some of these threads for more info: http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=2244571

[11:58] <BROKEN_LADDER> thanks
[11:58] <Hobbsee> evening thoreauputic 
[11:58] <thoreauputic> hi Kamping_Kaiser :)
[11:58] <Kamping_Kaiser> :)
[11:58] <sars42> heil!
[11:58] <thoreauputic> evening all ... 
[11:59] <thoreauputic> :)
[11:59] <Hobbsee> :)
[11:59] <Kamping_Kaiser> :D
[12:02] <sars42> :d
[12:02] <sars42> :-s
[12:03] <rikva> can i disable usplash in breezy WITHOUT removing kubuntu-desktop?
[12:03] <Hobbsee> rikva: kubuntu-desktop is only a metapackage - it wont get rid of all of kde
[12:03] <rikva> Hobbsee: so its safe to remove it?
[12:03] <Hobbsee> yes
[12:04] <rikva> ok
[12:04] <Hobbsee> you need it again when you upgrade, i think, or it gives you less chance of error
[12:04] <Hobbsee> s
[12:04] <Kamping_Kaiser> much less chance
[12:05] <Hobbsee> i just install from cd anyway - way easier for each upgrade
[12:05] <Hobbsee>  /home on a separate partition, easy
[12:06] <nalioth> Hobbsee: you didnt just say that, did you? 
[12:07] <Hobbsee> nalioth: erm...which bit...probably not though
[12:07] <nalioth> install from a cd?
[12:09] <Hobbsee> it was a comment on personal preference, particularly dealing with the trouble of having to remove things like openoffice.org, after installing breezy
[12:09] <nikkia> Hobbsee: it seems almost every debian based distro screws up the OOo packages, i dunno why
[12:10] <nalioth> Hobbsee: you are missing the beauty of apt-get
[12:10] <Hobbsee> nalioth: on the contrary - i've experienced it twice
[12:10] <nikkia> knoppix for example puts some files that shouldn't be owned by OOo in the OOo packages, so when you try to update KDE, OOo prevents it from happening because it's claiming ownership of the mime-types database
[12:10] <nalioth> and oOo is a lesson to the rule, "java sucks"
[12:10] <Hobbsee> once it worked, once it definetly didnt
[12:14] <insanekane> nalioth: Java sucks, Python kicks ass ;)
[12:14] <insanekane> nalioth: but, OOo doesnt require Java does it ?
[12:15] <manveru_> java sucks, ruby kicks ass ^^
[12:15] <Kamping_Kaiser> it does
[12:15] <Hobbsee> !start a language war
[12:15] <ubotu> Ruby is better than C#!
[12:15] <Hobbsee> :P
[12:15] <manveru_> ^^
[12:16] <Kamping_Kaiser> cant argue ubotu
[12:16] <Hobbsee> !start a language war
[12:16] <manveru_> hmm
[12:16] <manveru_> !C#
[12:16] <ubotu> manveru_: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
[12:16] <manveru_> uh... maybe?
[12:17] <manveru_> !java
[12:17] <ubotu> [java]  to install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats#head-55315677ab8f9890825549fa2ecebdde4bc68087 and also see !javadeb
[12:17] <manveru_> whoever did that bot, made a good job
[12:17] <Hobbsee> that they did
[12:17] <Hobbsee> a whole heap of people made it, i recall
[12:18] <nalioth> manveru_: cafuego inflicted ubotu upon us, and we have all twisted him into our own image
[12:18] <nalioth> insanekane: and yes, oOo uses java
[12:19] <phanter> hello. To install Skype I have to force the installation, because of missing dependicies. Then everytime I update my machine, skype is removed because it is broken. How can I stop my machine from removing skype without having to tell it everytime explicitely.
[12:19] <insanekane> nalioth: yes, it does, but does it require it ? I don't think so
[12:20] <nikkia> insanekane: i believe it uses its own bundled version of java, much like how it bundles 99% of your system libs :/
[12:20] <Hobbsee> nalioth: it's still way better than having no bot
[12:20] <verden01> hey
[12:21] <insanekane> nikkia: it does ? not so sure abt that ... in Kubuntu, it uses GCJ
[12:21] <insanekane> at least afaik
[12:21] <Kamping_Kaiser> it uses gnu java, yeh
[12:21] <verden01> does anyone have kubuntu running on an AMD64?
[12:21] <nikkia> insanekane: it uses 'libjavavm.uno' here
[12:22] <insanekane> nikkia: thats a uno interface library to interface with any given JRE (well not any ....)
[12:22] <insanekane> wrapper UNO component
[12:22] <nikkia> and 'javaldx'
[12:22] <insanekane> maybe to load java UNO components ?
[12:23] <nikkia> let me put it another way, i have swriter running, and no copy of java appears in my process list, i don't even have gnu's java installed
[12:24] <verden01> hey Kamping_Kaiser do youcome from Adelaide?
[12:24] <Kamping_Kaiser> verden01: yeh, SA
[12:24] <Kamping_Kaiser> AUS
[12:25] <verden01> yeah i thought i seen a post from you to Linuxsa
[12:25] <Kamping_Kaiser> verden01: realy? lol. i only made one!
[12:25] <insanekane> nikkia: there are 2 hypothesis one can draw from that 1) OOo has built-in java vm and 2) OOo doesnt require Java (which I have read before)
[12:25] <nikkia> insanekane: looks like 2 to me
[12:26] <Kamping_Kaiser> insanekane: i think its doesn "require" java, but it only works 100% with java
[12:26] <nikkia> the 'java' page of the prefs have the option to use an installed jvm (perhaps it falls back on a bundled vm?) and no jvm defined in the list here
[12:26] <Kamping_Kaiser> like you dont "require" legs, but its easyer to walk with tehm :)
[12:26] <insanekane> nikkia: try this, in oowriter, Tools->Options, and look for the JRE tree item ... does it find a Java VM there ?
[12:26] <verden01> yeah i have seen your name here and it sorta stuck out when i got the Linuxsa email
[12:26] <Hobbsee> heh...where will you be instead?
[12:26] <Kamping_Kaiser> verden01: who are you? *scary music*
[12:26] <insanekane> Kamping_Kaiser: i think, only very limited functionality is actually implemented in Java
[12:26] <Kamping_Kaiser> Hobbsee: tas or NZ
[12:26] <Hobbsee> ah ok
[12:27] <insanekane> Kamping_Kaiser: so far, hacking on OOo, i have yet to encounter any Java files ... probably in there somewhere though :)
[12:27] <verden01> scary music???  not me
[12:27] <Kamping_Kaiser> from mid dec to feb
[12:27] <nikkia> insanekane: tracing the soffice script, it seems to set the javavm to javadlx, which could be a fallback vm ?
[12:27] <insanekane> but, im sure that OOo Base does require Java, since it requires HSQLDB
[12:27] <nikkia> insanekane: yeah, i get all kinds of error messages trying to run OOo Base, but i care not :)
[12:27] <verden01> Kamping_Kaiser, which part of South Aussie are you from?
[12:27] <insanekane> nikkia: maybe, but i don't see a VM in the sources (maybe i havent looked hard enough :) )
[12:28] <Hobbsee> Kamping_Kaiser: yeah...that probably would be while i'm there
[12:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> verden01: im in hte hills, but im not 'from' sa
[12:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> Hobbsee: bugger. :( where do you live?
[12:28] <verden01> k
[12:28] <nikkia> insanekane: its probably hidden deep among all the copies of libpng, libjpeg, etc :P
[12:28] <insanekane> its quite stupid having to theorize about a codebase :)
[12:28] <insanekane> nikkia: hehe :)
[12:28] <verden01> i'm near Gawler
[12:28] <Hobbsee> Kamping_Kaiser: sydney, i might go visit family in adelaide though
[12:28] <nikkia> insanekane: my usual response when someone asks me about those are 'that's what happens when you let sun work on something'
[12:28] <Kamping_Kaiser> Hobbsee: not sure i can just 'drop by' syd on my way home ;)
[12:28] <Hobbsee> hehe
[12:29] <insanekane> nikkia: hehe :)
[12:29] <Hobbsee> yeah, it's a little far out of your way
[12:29] <nikkia> i actually think java is ok, in places, but it has a place, and i don't think a several hundred megs office suite is in that place :P
[12:30] <verden01> Kamping_Kaiser, so u live in NSW?
[12:30] <nalioth> nikkia: and not in a powerpc linux distro where it's support is non-existant (sun)
[12:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> verden01: no, im in SA
[12:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> from Tas
[12:30] <verden01> k   i got it
[12:31] <Kamping_Kaiser> :)
[12:31] <verden01> it took a while  :-)
[12:32] <insanekane> nikkia: atleast swriter isn't written in Java .. rather in C++
[12:34] <verden01> i installed blackdown Java for AMd64 from the ubuntu howto's  so i could use Yahoo Chat with Firefox and it doesn't seem to work   any ideas?
[12:34] <Hobbsee> verden01: i'm one of the ones that live in nsw
[12:34] <verden01> cool
[12:35] <verden01> my son live at Paddington
[12:35] <Hobbsee> ah yes, fun
[12:35] <verden01> well he works near there 
[12:36] <verden01> and Oxford Street is an eyeopener if you've never been there b4 :
[12:36] <nalioth> verden01: on amd64 you are probably out of luck
[12:36] <Kamping_Kaiser> verden01: what goes wrong with yahoochat?
[12:37] <verden01> it just doesn't load java 
[12:37] <verden01> hang on i'll try it and see what it says
[12:38] <Hobbsee> hey Riddell - how's london?
[12:38] <verden01> when i go to load the java chat applet Firefox just crashes and closes
[12:39] <aftertaf> cool Riddell you're in london? how is blighty keeping?
[12:39] <Riddell> Hobbsee: surprisingly warm today
[12:39] <Hobbsee> ooh fun
[12:39] <Riddell> lots of people
[12:39] <Hobbsee> i'm jealous now...i want to go to london at some point
[12:40] <Riddell> and there's a stained glass window of a michelin man here
[12:40] <Riddell> Hobbsee: I'm only staying for a couple of hours
[12:40] <nalioth> Hobbsee: nothing to see there
[12:40] <aftertaf> Riddell:  yeah it aint cold in northern europe right now, is it? warm here too....
[12:40] <nalioth> Hobbsee: rains most of the time
[12:41] <Hobbsee> still, could be interesting
[12:41] <Hobbsee> yuck...rain...
[12:41] <nalioth> oh very interesting
[12:41] <aftertaf> Riddell:  where you from normally then?
[12:41] <Riddell> aftertaf: it was cold enough in Edinburgh (from I'm normally from)
[12:41] <aftertaf> oki... a riend from north ofthe border then ;)
[12:41] <aftertaf> cool....
[12:42] <nikkia> Riddell: its always cold in edinburgh, even on a  otherwise hot summer day :P
[12:42] <verden01> Riddell, does that make you a highlander or lowlander?
[12:42] <Riddell> verden01: edinburgh is lowlands
[12:43] <Hobbsee> i thought you were all in the US, not england
[12:43] <aftertaf> Hobbsee:  scotland, not england....... :P
[12:43] <aftertaf> people hve died for less ;)
[12:43] <verden01> we have some Scottish people at work and they are always on about Highlanders and Lowlanders :)
[12:43] <Hobbsee> all right, i thought that most of you were in the US, and not in other parts of other continents
[12:43] <Hobbsee> how's that?
[12:43] <verden01> its like a oneupmanship thing
[12:44] <Hobbsee> ah...i was wondering about what the highlander/lowlander thing was
[12:44] <nikkia> verden01: that's scots for you, IME :)
[12:44] <verden01> :)
[12:44] <verden01> :)
[12:45] <nalioth> Hobbsee: puh-lease. there are very few of us in the states
[12:45] <nikkia> verden01: IME, even identical twin scots have to find something to be divisive about :)
[12:45] <verden01> hahahaha
[12:45] <nalioth> Hobbsee: most of the folks in ubuntuland are from the UK or europe or oz
[12:45] <Hobbsee> nalioth: lol...first time i've seen that on the net
[12:46] <Hobbsee> seems really odd
[12:46] <Hobbsee> especially the ones from aus
[12:46] <nikkia> Hobbsee: how so?
[12:46] <verden01> i just have trouble understanding their accent
[12:46] <Hobbsee> means that it's harder to tell them that we all ride kangaroos to school, etc
[12:46] <verden01> lol
[12:46] <Hobbsee> it's the stuff that's in french or german lol
[12:47] <Hobbsee> :P
[12:47] <Hobbsee> verden01: i agree, especially over a mic
[12:47] <verden01> yeah
[12:49] <Hobbsee> hehehe
[12:49] <Hobbsee> i've had both...just not in a long while, only while still back on windows
[12:50] <nalioth> y'all would find out i'm an intelligent dolphin
[12:50] <Hobbsee> it's always interesting seeing pictures of everyone else though - they look nothing like i expect
[12:51] <verden01> i've never used a cam and don't plan to in the future although i could see there advantage if you had family overseas
[12:54] <aftertaf> Hobbsee:  totally :)
[12:54] <aftertaf> i havent got many pics, ora website to put them on.... :/
[12:54] <Hobbsee> crud.  now i've got myself into a hole, havent i
[12:54] <Hobbsee> aftertaf: there's imageshack.us or another picture hoster of choice
[12:55] <aftertaf> hehe
[12:56] <Hobbsee> hehe
[12:56] <Hobbsee> show it then Kamping_Kaiser 
[12:57] <Kamping_Kaiser> just a tic
[12:58] <Hobbsee> k
[01:00] <nalioth> Hobbsee has pix?
[01:00] <Hobbsee> yes

[02:19] <aftertaf> Kamping_Kaiser:  why what went wrong?
[02:20] <Kamping_Kaiser> aftertaf: nothing. i have ~20 gig of backups. well. the problem is i dont know how ill restore them all, maintaining my sanity at the samme time

[02:50] <iceman> ok i get the themes from kde-look, but is there a place to install them 
[02:54] <kkathman> Good morning, if anyone's around :)
[02:55] <Kamping_Kaiser> evening kkathman :)
[02:56] <Tm_T> no, we are not round
[02:57] <Tm_T> we just... are
[02:57] <kkathman> I see
[02:57] <kkathman> howdy there Kamping_Kaiser  :)
[02:58] <kkathman> was just reading about Ajax
[02:58] <Kamping_Kaiser> :)
[02:59] <kkathman> Tm_T: Im round :)
[02:59] <kkathman> well I think more oval really
[03:00] <kkathman> I dont feel trainglish, or rectanglish
[03:00] <kkathman> and I hear its very good to be "Well-rounded", so I'll work towards that.
[03:02] <iceman> how the hell do you install themes in kde the ones from kde-look are not *.kcsrc files 
[03:02] <Tm_T> =)
[03:02] <Tm_T> they are not themes
[03:02] <Tm_T> windeco or widget style is not whole theme
[03:03] <iceman> well style .. how the hell do you install them 'where what app 
[03:03] <pbw> to install a theme go kcontrol -> appearance and themes -> theme manager
[03:03] <Tm_T> err, you compile it?
[03:03] <Tm_T> and install then?
[03:03] <pbw> then click install new theme and nav to tar
[03:04] <pbw> or whatever they supply
[03:05] <Tm_T> iceman: open package and read README file?
[03:05] <iceman> all i get is system setting and no option in there for styles, just the apperance 
[03:05] <pbw> run command kcontrol.. then nav where i said. i dont use system setting so i'm not sure
[03:06] <kkathman> iceman: yah someone else was complaining about that. Are the files gzipped or something?
[03:07] <kkathman> cuz sometimes there are instructions there.
[03:08] <iceman> kkathman even uuuuuunzipped there not ubuntu format .. 
[03:08] <kkathman> iceman: I know its not a straightforward process...Hobbsee walked someone through it a few nights ago and I would have never though it would be that difficult
[03:10] <kkathman> iceman: try this thread, see if it helps:  http://www.kde-forum.org/post/29105/lastpost.html#post29105
[03:10] <iceman> k
[03:29] <Zambba> Is there a firewall in Kubuntu?
[03:29] <Zambba> I mean is there one which is defaultly on
[03:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> its part of te kernel
[03:30] <Zambba> Yes I know
[03:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> you can configure it with firestarter
[03:30] <Zambba> But is it set up in Kubuntu?
[03:30] <Zambba> I'm having strange network problems with some programs
[03:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> Zambba: it should be set to accespt
[03:30] <at1as> I don't believe so
[03:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> *accept
[03:30] <Zambba> okay
[03:30] <Kamping_Kaiser> shit. load average of 6. never seen a load this high
[03:31] <kkathman> Kamping_Kaiser: I think you have to apt-get firestarter
[03:31] <Kamping_Kaiser> mind you, iv never looked while gaming ;)
[03:31] <at1as> There are multiple apps which can set up a firewall upon install...
[03:31] <rysiek> hello
[03:31] <Kamping_Kaiser> kkathman: yeh, its in universe
[03:31] <at1as> You didn't install any of them, right?
[03:31] <Zambba> my load avarage is 0.53 now
[03:31] <kkathman> iptables is another one, but I think thats installed by default
[03:31] <rysiek> does anybody know how to resize a film in mplayer?
[03:31] <at1as> Check your ruleset as root by typing "iptables -L -n"
[03:31] <at1as> Zambaa: Check your ruleset as root by typing "iptables -L -n"
[03:31] <kkathman> I dont use mplayer, I uses totem
[03:31] <Zambba> all is ACCEPT
[03:32] <Kamping_Kaiser> as i said :|
[03:32] <Zambba> so problem is @ some other place
[03:32] <rysiek> kkathman: does totem support subtitles?
[03:32] <kkathman> rysiek: no clue...I never played anything that has subtitles :)
[03:33] <rysiek> d'oh :)
[03:33] <rysiek> i need those, unfortunately :/
[03:33] <kkathman> but totem is standard in kubuntu, so you could try it
[03:33] <rysiek> and (g)mplayer gets the job done nicely, but I seem to be unable to resize the film
[03:33] <rysiek> trying ;)
[03:34] <rysiek> nope, totem is not default
[03:34] <roman-stefan> wow how much of a linux virgin am i ??? i just learnt that files + folders have owners and groups and permissions!!!
[03:34] <rysiek> or at least it hadn't been installed when I upgraded

[03:43] <roman-stefan> haha
[03:43] <stbain> tagline  is "Fosters... Australian for beer"
[03:43] <kkathman> Funny, I have several friends in the Netherlands, and you'd think Heineken would be the thing, but they hate it!!
[03:43] <roman-stefan> haha
[03:43] <roman-stefan> maybe the best way to offload average beer is to market it oversees
[03:44] <Kamping_Kaiser> lol.
[03:44] <kkathman> roman-stefan: I think theres truth in that
[03:44] <Kamping_Kaiser> or sell it to victorians

[03:45] <roman-stefan> xxxx grows on you when its warm
[03:45] <Kamping_Kaiser> you can catch up for a fosters sometime :P
[03:46] <kkathman> Never had Fosters actually
[03:46] <_manveru> is there a problem using bluetooth-headsets in kubuntu?
[03:46] <roman-stefan> honestly the beer i go for up here is tooheys new
[03:46] <Kamping_Kaiser> not sure if i did, if i have it was up in the tropix ona  boat blind drunk
[03:46] <g0nk> so far i like Kubuntu.. couple probs.. ;)
[03:46] <Kamping_Kaiser> roman-stefan: yeh, its not bad
[03:46] <kkathman> g0nk: what probs?
[03:47] <g0nk> granted, im a linux 1st timer.. so im sure im just missing something somwhere
[03:47] <Kamping_Kaiser> g0nk: the start button has a k on it ;)
[03:47] <roman-stefan> yay fellow virgin
[03:47] <_manveru> g0nk: you made it into irc, so it can't be that bad
[03:47] <g0nk> lol
[03:47] <kkathman> its ok, g0nk, if you only have a couple of probs..thats pretty good
[03:47] <Kamping_Kaiser> kkathman: but one prob will be getting java running on his amd 64 ;)
[03:47] <g0nk> well, im on my work machine right now.. my laptop has kubuntu on it
[03:48] <kkathman> Kamping_Kaiser: yah or on any computer actually...kind of a bear on Linux
[03:48] <g0nk> cant enable my wireless card for some odd reason, and when i run "kdesu kcontrol" all the changes I make in it dont get applied..
[03:48] <kkathman> g0nk: yah there are some issues with administrator mode for one
[03:49] <roman-stefan> bout as european i get is an australian brewed pilsener
[03:49] <kkathman> I would have thought they would have fixed that by now
[03:49] <kkathman> its very annoying
[03:49] <g0nk> i've posted in the forums, here http://kubuntuforums.net/index.php?topic=1067.0 and it's been helpful, but im still stuck..
[03:50] <kkathman> g0nk: you've gone through all the ndiswrapper troubleshooting?
[03:50] <g0nk> the wut? :)
[03:50] <jjesse> the adminstrator mode one is a bug, check bugzilla for work arounds
[03:51] <kkathman> I cant help much, cuz I dont have wireless...but there are some things you have to do in ndiswrapper I think
[03:51] <kkathman> jjesse: yah I know..but its still a bug that never should have been there...it wasnt in hoary
[03:52] <jjesse> kkathman: i know there's lot of discussion on #kubuntu-devel on trying to track it down for some reason they can't figure it out
[03:52] <kkathman> jjesse: kinda weird eh?  Someone did something to a common sub, since its pervasive...shouldnt be that hard, except in open source development its compounded
[03:53] <g0nk> im thinking i might install Ubuntu (since it worked when i tried that before) then just install the KDE packages to run KDE.. 
[03:53] <kkathman> g0nk: you could do that...I'd suggest a clean ubuntu install, then apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[03:53] <kkathman> if you are going to reinstall that is
[03:54] <kkathman> hey hussam :)  Good morning!
[03:54] <g0nk> yeah, well, there's nothing on the system except the OS, so it's not like it would be a big deal to reinstall anyways.. :)
[03:54] <hussam> kkathman: hi
[03:54] <roman-stefan> what load Kamping_Kaiser ?
[03:55] <kkathman> g0nk: two schools of thought:  if you are learning Linux, try working through the issue as best you can. If you just have a laptop and need to get it up and running, re-install :)
[03:55] <kkathman> hussam: you ok today bud?
[03:56] <Kamping_Kaiser> roman-stefan: betweeen 7 and 9 atm
[03:56] <Kamping_Kaiser> just dropped off. 
[03:57] <Kamping_Kaiser> hm. wonder why
[03:57] <Kamping_Kaiser> itll kick in again soon :|
[03:57] <Kamping_Kaiser> load average is 5. for the last 3 readings (1, 5,10 minutes?)
[03:58] <g0nk> kkathman: yeah, im trying to figure it out.. got the message on the official forums to see what they say,  if all else fails, i'll reinstall
[03:58] <kkathman> g0nk: good :)
[04:00] <hussam> anybody?
[04:01] <Kamping_Kaiser> sorry, didnt see q quiestion hussam

[04:02] <hussam> I know its not a cups error. It has to do with network since it started when I comfigured pppoe connection
[04:02] <hussam> http://localhost:631 times out as well
[04:03] <kkathman> hussam: hmm.. I assume you checked to see if cups was running of course
[04:03] <hussam> yes
[04:03] <hussam> I even restarted cups
[04:03] <kkathman> did you try stopping and restarting?
[04:03] <kkathman> ahh ok
[04:03] <kkathman> hehe
[04:04] <jsubl2> hussam: localhost is pingable
[04:04] <kkathman> ok, try this hussam ,   try removing your printer and re-add it
[04:04] <hussam> kkathman: I can't get to the print manager
[04:04] <_seezer> hi
[04:05] <hussam> jsubl2: you're onto something. no, local host is not pingable
[04:05] <kkathman> hussam: in the system settings, hardware, printers
[04:05] <roman-stefan> hello'
[04:05] <kkathman> ohhhh ooops
[04:05] <hussam> kkathman: it hangs then gives an error http://kubuntu.pastebin.com/406476
[04:05] <hussam> jsubl2:  localhost is not pingable
[04:06] <jsubl2> hussam: but the pppoe stuff works?
[04:06] <hussam> jsubl2:  yes
[04:06] <jsubl2> odd
[04:06] <jsubl2>  ifconfig lo
[04:07] <hussam> jsubl2:  so I have two addresses on the network card eth0: 10.0.2.17 and ppp0: 17.16.200.176
[04:07] <kkathman> well you are on line on that computer, hussam ??
[04:07] <hussam> yes
[04:07] <jsubl2> hussam: localhost should resolve to 127.0.0.1 which is the lo interface... thus how does ifconfig lo look
[04:08] <hussam> jsubl2: can you please look here? http://pastebin.com/406495
[04:09] <hussam> jsubl2: this is the output of ifconfig lo
[04:09] <jsubl2> post cat /etc/network/interfaces results
[04:10] <jsubl2> the lo you posted looks odd to me
[04:10] <hussam> jsubl2: http://pastebin.com/406499
[04:10] <roman-stefan> http://kubuntu.org/announcements/breezy-release.php on this kubuntu site it says a wide variety of pluggins are available to support a large variety of media types, where do you find these pluggins?
[04:11] <roman-stefan> (for the gstreamer)
[04:11] <kkathman> hussam:  read the section here on Enabling cupsys Web Admin Interface..maybe this will help:  http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/
[04:11] <hussam> jsubl2: so I need to reconfigure lo somehow or something like that?
[04:12] <kkathman> the cupsys web admin is disabled by default
[04:12] <jsubl2> hussam: http://pastebin.com/406503
[04:12] <kkathman> so you need to read that above link and it tells you how to start it
[04:12] <g0nk> quick question, when doing a new install, is it better to use LVM or no? (not even sure what it is) i've been just selecting non-LVM though with previous installs
[04:12] <jsubl2> hussam: i posted the lo portion of mine
[04:12] <hussam> where?
[04:12] <kkathman> hussam: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/
[04:13] <jsubl2> http://pastebin.com/406503
[04:13] <kkathman> jsubl2: i think he just needs to enable the cupsys web admin server
[04:13] <hussam> jsubl2: I add that to /etc/network/interfaces?
[04:14] <jsubl2> hussam: copy the original to a safe place.. comment out lines 1 2 and 3 and put in the two i posted.  
[04:14] <kkathman> arggh
[04:15] <jsubl2> hussam: but make sure to keep the original.. i don't have pppoe so I am not sure if that is why your looks wrong.. but i feel like the problem is there somewhere
[04:16] <hussam> ok
[04:16] <hussam> brb, I'm going to reboot
[04:16] <jsubl2> hussam maybe the original is ok and you just need to add auto lo
[04:17] <jsubl2> kkathman: that would not explain lo not being pingable
[04:21] <hussam> ok thanks, it works now
[04:22] <hussam> I rebooted after editing /etc/network/interfaces and it works now
[04:22] <g0nk> ok, reinstalling with LVM now, just for the hell of it
[04:22] <jsubl2> hussam: great!!
[04:22] <Kamping_Kaiser> g0nk: have fun
[04:23] <hussam> thanks again. I was one minute away from giving up
[04:26] <NetSKaVeN> hell-o!
[04:26] <Kamping_Kaiser> o_)
[04:27] <NetSKaVeN> a question
[04:27] <NetSKaVeN> anyone has flashplayer working with Konqueror?
[04:27] <seezer> NetSKaVeN: yes
[04:27] <NetSKaVeN> it doesn't work to me  :/
[04:28] <seezer> errors/effects?
[04:28] <NetSKaVeN> no flash
[04:28] <NetSKaVeN> firefox is working ok with the plugin and it seems konqueror see it too
[04:28] <NetSKaVeN> but flash don't work
[04:29] <seezer> do you see it in konquerors plugins settings?
[04:29] <NetSKaVeN> yeah
[04:30] <seezer> points to /usr/lib/netscape/plugins-libc6/libflashplayer.so?
[04:31] <NetSKaVeN> I have it into /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins
[04:31] <NetSKaVeN> deb doesn't work and direct download from Macromedia doesn't work too
[04:31] <NetSKaVeN> the same problem
[04:32] <seezer> deb works fine here. did you try flashplugin-nonfree?
[04:32] <NetSKaVeN> and I have the same problem in 2 machines, one with KDE 3.4.3 and other with KDE 3.5beta2
[04:32] <NetSKaVeN> yeah, it doesn't work too
[04:33] <seezer> i bet you do something wrong :)
[04:34] <NetSKaVeN> O_O
[04:34] <NetSKaVeN> I discover the cause now
[04:34] <seezer> and konqueror really got it in the 'plugins' tab in 'netscape plugins'?
[04:34] <NetSKaVeN> stranger thing
[04:35] <NetSKaVeN> thanks anyway  :))
[04:35] <seezer> it worked here with flashplayer-mozilla and nonfree. strange.
[04:36] <seezer> kde 3.4.2, 3.4.3, 3.5beta1 and beta2
[04:37] <amarock> how do i reduce size of text in kmenu? and large windows?
[04:37] <NetSKaVeN> seezer: it's working ok now
[04:38] <seezer> NetSKaVeN: ah. what did you do?
[04:38] <NetSKaVeN> I had an option bad into config of konqueror
[04:38] <NetSKaVeN> it needs global activation
[04:42] <NetSKaVeN> pfffffffff, now aptitude say me corrupted index
[04:42] <NetSKaVeN> any idea?
[04:45] <NetSKaVeN> all working ok now again
[04:46] <roman-stefan> i managed to get flash working in firefox!!!!! but i still can't play mp3's or watch videos yet :(
[04:47] <seezer> roman-stefan: did you try mozilla-mplayer?
[04:47] <roman-stefan> it wouldn't install using apt-get install command thingo
[04:47] <amarock> anyone here who upgraded to kde 3.5? did u face any probs after update?
[04:47] <roman-stefan> is that package on the 'universe' in adept ??
[04:48] <seezer> amarock: beta1 was pretty stable for me. beta2 got its problems..
[04:48] <seezer> roman-stefan: sec
[04:48] <amarock> whats the command to do kde upgrade?
[04:49] <seezer> amarock: http://www.kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-35beta2.php
[04:49] <seezer> roman-stefan: its mulitverse
[04:49] <amarock> anyone here who used initng to reduce boot time and never faced any probs??
[04:49] <NetSKaVeN> I'm working here without important problems with beta2
[04:50] <seezer> kgpg, kontact (and many programms under it), artsd, noatun are buggy here
[04:51] <amarock> seezer: thats for beta2, for beta1 what commands needed?
[04:51] <seezer> amarock: http://www.kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-35beta1.php
[04:51] <roman-stefan> ive enabled  (deleted ## ) multiverse... but mozilla-mplayer isn't available thriough adept
[04:51] <seezer> roman-stefan: did you hit 'fetch updates'?
[04:51] <roman-stefan> yes
[04:52] <roman-stefan> ldouble check that i enabled multiverse
[04:52] <seezer> can't say more
[04:52] <amarock> tomorrow i hope to do fresh install of breezy:), then add lotsa programs.........
[04:53] <roman-stefan> yes the ## in front of the multiverse addresses are gone
[04:53] <roman-stefan> no sign of mplayer on adept...
[04:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> mplayer is in universe
[04:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> mplayer-[56] 86
[04:53] <Kamping_Kaiser> and -k7
[04:54] <seezer> mplayer != mozilla-mplayer
[04:54] <NetSKaVeN> I see mozilla-mplayer too
[04:55] <seezer> may i guess the reason? it's there! :)
[04:55] <amarock> can i get w32codecs etc. from debian marillat repo??
[04:55] <seezer> amarock: sure. why asking?
[04:56] <amarock> coz ppl get these from diff places......i dont know what wud be best place
[04:56] <seezer> marillat is fine
[04:57] <olwin> w32codec --> see plf 
[04:58] <NetSKaVeN> plf is from Mdv, isn't it?
[04:58] <olwin> http://wiki.ubuntu-fr.org/doc/plf  ; now it's for ubuntu too ;)
[04:59] <NetSKaVeN> wow!!!
[04:59] <roman-stefan> i still can't c it available :(
[04:59] <amarock> seezer: can u give me the exact line i should add to sources.list?
[04:59] <olwin> for the moment : in plf you can dowload : w32codec, J2sdk, J2re, realplay
[05:00] <amarock> plz give me full address of plf site!!
[05:00] <roman-stefan> can u just remove the ## infront of all the addresses in the /etc/apt/sources.list file ??
[05:01] <amarock> its not there by default.......
[05:01] <olwin> ## PLF Free
[05:01] <olwin> deb http://antesis.freecontrib.org/mirrors/ubuntu/plf/ breezy free
[05:02] <olwin> ## PLF Non-free
[05:02] <olwin> deb http://antesis.freecontrib.org/mirrors/ubuntu/plf/ breezy non-free
[05:02] <amarock> olwin: thx
[05:02] <seezer> amarock: may i point you to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDocumentation ?
[05:02] <seezer> there are links for everything
[05:02] <seezer> including you w32thingy
[05:02] <seezer> your
[05:03] <roman-stefan> do you need to restart after installing packages??
[05:03] <seezer> roman-stefan: no - since it's not the kernel
[05:03] <roman-stefan> oh, are packages "binaries"
[05:03] <amarock> hey why do i have to install gcc3 base too? coming upto 13.7 mb......
[05:04] <seezer> you can only run binaries. even if you download sources you have to build binaries out of them.
[05:04] <seezer> amarock: because something you want to install depends on it
[05:04] <amarock> hmmm.......i thought only the w32codecs deb wud do........:)
[05:13] <fujisan> Look at my new monitors :P http://www.icir.org/hodson/1600sw/dual-1600sw.jpg

[05:14] <_fred> Hallo!?

[05:15] <_fred> wohoo es geht
[05:15] <chavo> hallo?!
[05:15] <Kamping_Kaiser> _fred: english here
[05:16] <_fred> ah okay
[05:16] <Kamping_Kaiser> or try #kubuntu-de
[05:16] <_fred> thank you
[05:22] <g0nk> question..
[05:23] <seezer> answer
[05:23] <g0nk> if i have jsut installed the newest Ubuntu, cna I have the CD for Kubuntu Breezy, can i pop in the Kubuntu CD and install KDE off of it? since i dont' have a network conenction... :)
[05:23] <g0nk> and holy crap i cant type today
[05:24] <Kamping_Kaiser> yep
[05:24] <Kamping_Kaiser> you can
[05:24] <seezer> deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Preview i386 (20050908)] / breezy main restricted
[05:24] <g0nk> kewlies
[05:24] <seezer> add this or a fitting line to your sources.list
[05:24] <seezer> watch that mine is from preview
[05:25] <Kamping_Kaiser> wb
[05:25] <roman-stefan> YAY mp3's are now playing!!!! i did need to restart!!!!
[05:25] <seezer> firefox?
[05:26] <roman-stefan> seezer: was that to me?
[05:26] <roman-stefan> no this is in amarok
[05:26] <Kamping_Kaiser> you shouldnt have had to :(
[05:27] <roman-stefan> gstreamer is now werking, after downloading a bunch of packages
[05:27] <seezer> ah. lol. sorry. i got your question like "can't play mp3s and videos in firefox"
[05:27] <roman-stefan> sound quality is pretty shitty but
[05:27] <g0nk> hmm, ok, when i pop in the Kubuntu 5.10 CD it actually asks if i wanna "Automatically Upgrade" or Start Package manager..  should i do one of these instead of the command line?
[05:27] <seezer> gst-register-0.8 should have done this too
[05:28] <roman-stefan> and i still have the hurdle of getting it to go out the digital optical output to my amp
[05:28] <seezer> roman-stefan: can you set it in alsamixer perhaps?
[05:29] <roman-stefan> that has worked in other distros
[05:29] <seezer> but not in kubuntu?
[05:29] <roman-stefan> oop
[05:29] <roman-stefan> i have kmix not alsamixer :S
[05:30] <seezer> you should have alsamixer too (console tool)
[05:30] <roman-stefan> oh
[05:30] <seezer> but i bet kmix could do it too
[05:30] <seezer> i have a switch for my optical in kmix
[05:33] <roman-stefan> hmmm for some reason there is not digital option, i don't know whether ICH5 as a card and realtek alc650f as a chipset is what an ac97 should be!!!
[05:33] <roman-stefan> is it??
[05:34] <seezer> since there are soundblasters i got one :) don't know. look at the alsa homepage. there is a matrix.
[05:34] <roman-stefan> like will i need to take a red or green pill??
[05:35] <seezer> or like a overview ;)
[05:36] <g0nk> hmm, ok, when i pop in the Kubuntu 5.10 CD it actually asks if i wanna "Automatically Upgrade" or Start Package manager..  should i do one of these instead of the command line?
[05:36] <seezer> g0nk: what about trying? ;)
[05:36] <roman-stefan> YAAAAAAAAAAAAY my video is werking now too!!! now i won't need imagination before i go to bed!!! woohooo
[05:36] <seezer> roman-stefan: :P
[05:37] <g0nk> well, i tried the command line and it said deb was an unrecognized command
[05:37] <seezer> you could have read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultimediaApplications once
[05:37] <seezer> roman-stefan
[05:37] <seezer> g0nk: read what people write
[05:37] <seezer> scroll up and read again what i wrote about this line
[05:38] <seezer> ;)
[05:43] <nikkia> roman-stefan: AC97 is a bit weird, most people grossly fail to understand what it actually is :)
[05:44] <nikkia> roman-stefan: for example, the SBLive and the Audigy are AC97 based, but people assume 'AC97 == onboard audio == rubbish'
[05:49] <g0nk> ok, figured it out, adding the KDE packages now.. 
[05:51] <_thumper_> anyone here familiar with the nvidia GeForce FX 5200?
[05:52] <roman-stefan> thanx nikkia
[05:53] <_thumper_> nikkia, someone yesterday said that you had a nvidia 5200, is that right?
[05:54] <Kamping_Kaiser> _thumper_: sup?

[06:01] <ubotu> Kamping_Kaiser: I think you lost me on that one
[06:01] <g0nk> hmmm..  seems as though kcontrol still isnt applying my choices.. :(
[06:01] <Kamping_Kaiser> mpmc:  ^^
[06:01] <mpmc> man thats annoying
[06:02] <mpmc> nickserv wont talk <_<
[06:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> hm. strange
[06:02] <mpmc> does it talk to you?
[06:02] <Kamping_Kaiser> night all

[06:14] <aljosa> is there a pon (to activate dsl connection) gui frontend?
[06:15] <mpmc> !tell me about mp3 support
[06:16] <spiral> hi
[06:16] <nikkia> aljosa: did you try kppp ?
[06:16] <mpmc> how do I add mp3 support for amarok?
[06:17] <nikkia> aljosa: i imagine there is a way to tell kppp about existing peer configurations
[06:20] <aljosa> nikkia: isn't kppp for ppp connection? i need to activate pppoe, something else?
[06:20] <nikkia> aljosa: what exactly do you think pon does?
[06:20] <nikkia> aljosa: it calls pppd with the named argument to connect to that peer, the 'ppp' in 'pppoe' is the same ppp :)
[06:21] <nikkia> aljosa: i use pon/poff to start up my VPN's to the various offices for the company i work to, it doesn't mean i'm phoning them on a dial-up modem :)
[06:22] <nikkia> (in that case, its tunneled ppp i'm using)

[06:48] <aljosa> vonHalenbach: what about kubuntu? i don't like to open shell just so i can go online
[06:49] <vonHalenbach> same with me.
[06:49] <vonHalenbach> that is bugging me.
[06:50] <DaSkreech> chavo: Ah Links That was what I was looking for ;)
[06:50] <chavo> I like to have links for those rare times an update breaks x
[06:50] <aljosa> is there anybody here who connects via pppoe and uses gui to activate connection?
[06:51] <mpmc> At last Music!!!
[06:51] <mpmc> I'm new to Linux :P
[06:51] <chavo> you can play music in Linux too!?!?!?
[06:52] <DaSkreech> chavo: I have a headless server so it comes in nice to test things sometimes
[06:53] <DaSkreech> Wonders never cease. It recognizes speakers too!
[06:53] <DaSkreech> Though that's as true as the statement above :-)

[06:56] <mpmc> apache2-mpm-worker
[06:56] <mpmc> I wanna know a little about it
[06:56] <toby_> Anyone here know much about ssh and sshd?
[06:56] <DaSkreech> !apache
[06:56] <ubotu> hmm... apache is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP or, for Ubuntu server information, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/installation-custom
[06:57] <mpmc> ooo
[06:57] <nava> could somebody help me to install this iconset http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=13507  its installed with some script which i cant use
[06:57] <mpmc> !apache2-mpm-worker
[06:57] <ubotu> mpmc: I give up, what is it?
[06:57] <mpmc> lol
[06:57] <toby_> I can connect (using putty on Windows) to my ubuntu, and it asks for the username/password as usual. Then, after processing .bash_profile, the connection is closed by ubuntu.
[06:58] <toby_> It's like there's some policy I need to turn off somewhere...
[07:01] <vonHalenbach> toby_: what user tries to log in? root?
[07:03] <toby_> vonHalenbach: not root, no, just my ordinary user
[07:04] <toby_> toby@tobyjr:~/apps/tss2_rc2$ ssh localhost
[07:04] <toby_> toby@localhost's password:
[07:04] <toby_> Linux tobyjr 2.6.12-9-386 #1 Mon Oct 10 13:14:36 BST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
[07:04] <toby_> (echoes from .bash_profile
[07:04] <toby_> Connection to localhost closed.
[07:05] <toby_> I get in, but am immediately dumped out again.
[07:05] <vonHalenbach> toby_:  I know this behavior from suse 8.0
[07:08] <Hering> Hello everybody
[07:08] <toby_> vonHalenbach: Do you remember what caused it?
[07:08] <mpmc> how do I tell chmod what user, I want 777 permissons on a folder?
[07:09] <Hering> Sorry about my english language but could someone help me with the installation of VLC? I am completely new in the world of linux and kubuntu...
[07:09] <vonHalenbach> there was something misconfigured. probably /etc/services
[07:09] <vonHalenbach> I dont know.
[07:10] <Xeef> hello
[07:11] <Xeef> can anybody tell me how to install lib3ds??
[07:11] <vonHalenbach> You have to allow a login on your machine from other hosts.
[07:11] <vonHalenbach> "/etc/allowed.hosts"    or so?
[07:12] <vonHalenbach> hosts.allowed
[07:12] <DaSkreech> So since the dapper drake is apparently a dragon can I assume that it is realted to konqui?
[07:13] <jjesse> isn't a drake a male duck or something like that as well?
[07:13] <DaSkreech> Xeef: Try apt-get install lib3ds
[07:13] <DaSkreech> jjesse: Yeah But it seems that it leans towards being a dragon
[07:14] <Xeef> DaSkreech i tryed..Couldn't find package lib3ds :/
[07:14] <DaSkreech> Xeef: Do you have universe repos?
[07:14] <mpmc> How do I remove a folder and all of its contents?
[07:14] <toby_> vonHalenbach: I have the line 'ssh:all' in my /etc/hosts.allow file
[07:15] <Xeef> DaSkreech repos=??
[07:15] <DaSkreech> Repository 
[07:16] <kkathman> afternoon all :)
[07:16] <toby_> How would I go about re-starting sshd? On other distros it is '/etc/init.d/sshd restart', but not on ubuntu it seems
[07:16] <DaSkreech> Xeef: Repository
[07:17] <kkathman> or whatever it is where you are
[07:17] <vonHalenbach> toby_: i dont know. sorry
[07:17] <Xeef> DaSkreech yea..i have..
[07:18] <toby_> vonHalenbach: Okay, thanks.
[07:18] <kkathman> toby_: its the same in Ubuntu
[07:19] <DaSkreech> Xeef: Ummm can you get a deb for the lib?
[07:19] <nikkia> toby_: what you're probably missing, is that [k] ubuntu doesn't install the ssh server by default, only the client, you need to install it :)
[07:19] <mpmc> is there anything like screem for KDE?
[07:19] <Xeef> DaSkreech hmm..i will try to find..
[07:20] <kkathman> Xeef: trying to use AutoCAD?
[07:21] <kkathman> sorry Autodesk
[07:21] <nikkia> mpmc: quanta plus ?
[07:21] <toby_> nikkia: I did install sshd via adept... (took me a moment to realise I had to:) )
[07:21] <toby_> nikkia: I can't see how to restart the daemon though
[07:21] <kkathman> toby_: its what you typed above
[07:21] <Xeef> kkathman no
[07:21] <kkathman> yes
[07:21] <nikkia> toby, if the server is installed, its /etc/init.d/sshd restart   same as every other sysvinitscripts distro
[07:21] <kkathman> right
[07:22] <nikkia> toby, with 'sudo' prepended to the command, of course
[07:22] <kkathman> hey nikkia how are you today?
[07:22] <nikkia> toby, note, the command completer won't find it unless you type the sudo, because bash's command completion is 'smart' like that
[07:22] <nikkia> kkathman: tired, annoyed, etc
[07:22] <kkathman> rofl
[07:23] <Tm_T> :(
[07:23] <bastardkestrel> crap evolution just crashed again
[07:23] <bastardkestrel> im thinking of going to kontact
[07:23] <Tm_T> Kontact <3
[07:23] <nikkia> kkathman: thanks, but no thanks, i don't drink :P
[07:23] <kkathman> sorry nikkia maybe lemonade??
[07:24] <bastardkestrel> Tm_T: hows it working?
[07:24] <kkathman> Tm_T: or Thunderbird
[07:24] <Tm_T> bastardkestrel: very well here, using from svn
[07:24] <bastardkestrel> will any accept outlook pst files somehow?
[07:24] <Tm_T> kkathman: err, Kontact is way _more_ than just mail client
[07:24] <bastardkestrel> i know
[07:24] <bastardkestrel> i used to use it
[07:24] <kkathman> Tm_T: I know I use Kontact too, but not for email tho
[07:25] <bastardkestrel> im just installin kubuntu
[07:25] <bastardkestrel> im using ubuntu at the moment
[07:25] <Tm_T> kkathman: I use it to mail and ... everything it can do
[07:25] <toby_> 'root@tobyjr:/etc/init.d# whereis sshd' yields 'sshd: /usr/sbin/sshd'
[07:25] <kkathman> kewlness Tm_T  :)
[07:26] <toby_> 'root@tobyjr:/etc/init.d# ls /etc/init.d/ | grep ssh' yields just 'ssh'
[07:26] <bastardkestrel> my evolution program crashed then refused to open
[07:26] <bastardkestrel> after that my desktop background dissapeared
[07:26] <toby_> Maybe I need to do some restarting, changing init levels or something, to finalise the sshd install?
[07:26] <bastardkestrel> i used evolution form kubuntu the other day and it crashed then i could not get the ubuntu desktop at all
[07:27] <bastardkestrel> I think is nvidia or xorg
[07:27] <bastardkestrel> when i remove glx much more stable
[07:27] <kkathman> Tm_T: hmm just started Kontact, to try mail again....crashed :(
[07:27] <bastardkestrel> damn dont tell me that
[07:27] <kkathman> I think this is why I dumped it the last time :)
[07:28] <bastardkestrel> what are yo using?
[07:28] <bastardkestrel> thunderbird?
[07:29] <Tm_T> kkathman: yu, broken package
[07:29] <Tm_T> kkathman: I compile it myself
[07:29] <bastardkestrel> is anybody else having graphic problems
[07:30] <bastardkestrel> im scared to do anything work related
[07:30] <Tm_T> I do
[07:30] <bastardkestrel> fuk
[07:30] <bastardkestrel> i may have to go to winblos
[07:30] <Tm_T> can't find out how I can do this background to be even better
[07:30] <Tm_T> maybe more shadow... or reflection!
[07:30] <bastardkestrel> Tm_T: is it a laptop?
[07:30] <Tm_T> nope
[07:30] <bastardkestrel> nvidia
[07:30] <Tm_T> yes
[07:31] <Tm_T> and all working fine here
[07:31] <Tm_T> just need more gimp
[07:31] <bastardkestrel> no crashes
[07:31] <Tm_T> nop
[07:31] <bastardkestrel> cool
[07:31] <bastardkestrel> gimp is nice for design
[07:31] <Tm_T> it's ok
[07:31] <bastardkestrel> i use it to build web sites
[07:32] <Tm_T> I use it to do desktop graphics
[07:32] <nikkia> i use it to sort out the mess that our artists send me :P
[07:33] <bastardkestrel> i cant run nvidia or i get worse crashes, ipw screws up, and windows start to blank
[07:33] <bastardkestrel> but some folks on the forum think its the kernel
[07:34] <Tm_T> I think too
[07:34] <bastardkestrel> what?
[07:34] <bastardkestrel> kernel?
[07:34] <slow-motion> hallo
[07:34] <Tm_T> bastardkestrel: yes
[07:34] <kkathman> Tm_T: uhm...do I need to do anything special in Kontact besides set up an account?
[07:34] <bastardkestrel> hmmm
[07:34] <kkathman> cuz Kontact is doing squat!
[07:34] <Tm_T> kkathman: ?
[07:35] <Tm_T> squat?
[07:35] <kkathman> I click the "Check Mail IN" and NOTHING...absolutely nothing happens
[07:35] <bastardkestrel> anybody know what will read outlook pst files
[07:35] <Tm_T> kkathman: as I said, broken package
[07:35] <kkathman> its what came with kubuntu dude
[07:35] <Tm_T> kkathman: I think at least
[07:35] <kkathman> got updated in the upgrade
[07:35] <Tm_T> kkathman: btw, did you setup your smtp ?
[07:35] <kkathman> yes
[07:36] <kkathman> and the incoming
[07:36] <bastardkestrel> kkathman: make sure to leave messages on server for a while
[07:36] <Tm_T> hmm
[07:36] <kkathman> but when I click the incoming, theres not even a blip
[07:36] <bastardkestrel> kkathman: just in case
[07:36] <kkathman> yah...well I have thunderbird working and it works like a champ
[07:37] <kkathman> this is why I tell people NOT to use Kontact :)  its just as buggy as Kopete :)
[07:37] <bastardkestrel> i like how thunderbird will save kontacts 
[07:37] <bastardkestrel> or address book
[07:38] <kkathman> AHA!! nothing serious...you just have to shut the whole program down, bring it up, let it crash, then restart and it works fine now...wow why didnt I think of that procedure
[07:38] <Tm_T> =)
[07:38] <bastardkestrel> if i use thunderbird is there a way to integrate a calendar?
[07:39] <Tm_T> kkathman: to me, Kontact AND Kopete both are very fine
[07:39] <Tm_T> ;)
[07:39] <bastardkestrel> ive always liked kontact
[07:39] <chavo> kontact rocks for me, but I build it from source
[07:39] <kkathman> but you recompile all your apps, too, Tm_T  :)
[07:39] <bastardkestrel> actually starting to like evolution
[07:39] <Tm_T> kkathman: all the time
[07:39] <Almindor> kdevelop/interface designer goes boom
[07:39] <kkathman> yah chavo...thats what I mean...its great for those that actually create their own thing :)
[07:39] <Almindor> is it known?
[07:39] <bastardkestrel> in gnome the calendar on desktop goes to evolution when clciked
[07:39] <Tm_T> kkathman: always using "unstable" versions
[07:40] <kkathman> is there anything that IS stable Tm_T  :)
[07:40] <chavo> I had a problem with it crashing the other day, but traced it to one certain message and spamassassin
[07:40] <kkathman> haha
[07:40] <Tm_T> kkathman: =)
[07:40] <kkathman> Tm_T: another downside of open source... version control :)
[07:41] <Tm_T> kkathman: downside?
[07:41] <chavo> I like akgregator too, and having it all in one window
[07:42] <kkathman> Tm_T: there are upsides too :)
[07:42] <kkathman> Tm_T: sometimes
[07:42] <Tm_T> I can't see any downside in version control
[07:42] <macario> Hola kubunteros!!! Saludos desde Veracruz, Mxico!!
[07:43] <Tm_T> muy bien
[07:43] <kkathman> Tm_T: thats because you havent spent your life in software development :)
[07:43] <Tm_T> kkathman: not yet
[07:43] <kkathman> Tm_T: I dont live a day without it in my business :)
[08:05] <Tm_T> kkathman: starting to be that way now
[08:13] <_jeremy> guys
[08:13] <_jeremy> I've gone back to hoary
[08:14] <frank> _jeremy: from breezy?
[08:14] <_jeremy> I've installed breezy twice, and twice within a few days had an unusable system
[08:14] <_jeremy> I'm not prepared to do it again
[08:15] <frank> _jeremy: It installs fine for most people but if hoary works, great
[08:15] <frank> hoary will have security updates for another year
[08:15] <_jeremy> It installs fine... I don't know whats going on but within a few days of doing a fresh install I've got a system that is hanging during bootup, or KDE is hanging during its startup
[08:16] <_jeremy> I'm not doing anything unusual with it
[08:16] <_jeremy> I can't have a system that I'm afraid to reboot because it might not boot up
[08:17] <_jeremy> KDE's startup is woefully slow too
[08:17] <frank> _jeremy: so it works for a while, then breaks down... very strange...
[08:17] <frank> _jeremy: how much ram do you have?
[08:17] <_jeremy> indeed
[08:17] <_jeremy> 512meg
[08:18] <frank> _jeremy: that's plenty for kde. the startup should be reasonable
[08:18] <_jeremy> its an abortion
[08:18] <_jeremy> sorry but thats whats happening
[08:19] <frank> I mean kde in hoary and breezy are almost identical!
[08:19] <_jeremy> never had a problem with hoary that wasn't my own fault
[08:19] <frank> there most be some root cause to this in breezy
[08:19] <_jeremy> I noticed that if you try 'failsafe' mode it uses Konsole
[08:20] <_jeremy> that was unusable too
[08:20] <frank> _jeremy: did you ever look at dmesg in breezy?
[08:20] <_jeremy> couldnt
[08:20] <_jeremy> couldn't do anything
[08:20] <_jeremy> cactus
[08:21] <frank> _jeremy: what about booting in safe mode in grub?
[08:21] <_jeremy> how ?
[08:21] <_jeremy> besides, it seems to be a serious problem
[08:22] <frank> _jeremy: did you see the boot menu, when you booted?
[08:22] <_jeremy> in x ?
[08:22] <frank> no, the very first thing you see. Grub loading stage 1.5 or something
[08:23] <frank> hit esc there and you can go in safe mode
[08:23] <_jeremy> I cant remember, I've already reinstalled hoary
[08:23] <frank> _jeremy: its a bit late to try ;-)
[08:23] <_jeremy> but I cant get online to talk to anyone to fix it anyway with a system that wont start up properly
[08:25] <_jeremy> everything seems fine at first, though kde's startup is a little slower... but after a few days - it either wont boot up or hangs during kde's startup. You can try 'failsafe mode', but its anything but failsafe as its reliance on a kde component seems to render that useless too
[08:26] <ph8> hi all, i'm really struggling with this and would appreciate all help: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=444867#post444867

[08:33] <sephora> frank: My name is John. I am a teacher who is trying to prepare this computer with kubuntu for one of my young students. Here name is Sephora an she is 11 years old.  I have put in Open Office but I would like to give her som enice games. Do you know how to do that?
[08:34] <_thumper_> ph8, sorry, don't have that type of printer :(
[08:34] <frank> sephora: do you know how to use adept?
[08:34] <jpatrick> sephora: kdegames are nice
[08:34] <sephora> No I dont.
[08:35] <jpatrick> sephora: K-Menu then System it should be there
[08:35] <ubuntu> hi there
[08:36] <jpatrick> ubuntu: hi
[08:36] <_toby> FYI, I have solved the sshd problem if anyone was following.
[08:37] <_jeremy> I'm gonna try breezy one more time
[08:37] <_jeremy> Im gonna see what happens if I dont update at all
[08:37] <_thumper_> I have a question about nvidia device options in xorg.conf if anyone knows about them...
[08:38] <_jeremy> I remember there was a problem when I first used hoary: updating turned my system to cactus... so I'm going to try it for a week and keep an eye on bootup etc... no updates and see what happens
[08:39] <ubuntu> i use the live-cd of kubuntu and have the problem, that i cant see my partitions of the harddisc, can someon give me a solution please?
[08:40] <jpatrick> ubuntu: you could try using the Disks & Filesystems module in System Settings
[08:40] <ubuntu> where can i find that...sorry, i'm a newby ;)
[08:41] <jpatrick> ubuntu: K-Menu then System Settings
[08:41] <ubuntu> k thx i try this
[08:41] <ubuntu> mom
[08:42] <jpatrick> ubuntu: you should see a Disks & Filesystem icon
[08:42] <ubuntu> k i see my disc but i cant select it
[08:42] <jpatrick> Admin mode...
[08:43] <ubuntu> k now i can select it but cant enable it...
[08:44] <ubuntu> how can i mount the discs
[08:44] <ubuntu> ?
[08:45] <frank> ubuntu: try kbuildsycoca in a console. then try system settings again
[08:47] <ubuntu> frank: i did that but that doesnt solve my problem
[08:48] <frank> ubuntu you try to go to administrator and it does nothing?
[08:49] <ubuntu> i changed to the admin mode, then i could select the discs but i couldnt enable them
[08:49] <Tm_T> yu
[08:49] <Tm_T> ubuntu: fstab
[08:49] <ubuntu> in the console?
[08:50] <Tm_T> :(
[08:50] <Tm_T> !fstab
[08:50] <ubotu> fstab is, like, /etc/fstab is a real pain for new users. The fstab file lists all drives and partitions but can be easily configured automatically with the winmac_fstab file found here http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/winmac_fstab  See <partitions>.
[08:50] <Tm_T> it is real pain at first time
[08:50] <Tm_T> but when you learn it, it helps a lot
[08:52] <sephora> trying adept now. Something is happening. 
[08:52] <sephora> Tryeing adept now.
[08:53] <ubuntu> perhaps when running the live-cd i cant enable my harddiscs ??
[08:54] <Tm_T> you can
[08:54] <Tm_T> !tell about mount to ubuntu 
[08:54] <Tm_T> :(
[08:54] <Tm_T> !mount
[08:54] <ubotu> somebody said mount was the command to add partitions to your filesystem - for full instructions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingANewHardDrive. For mounting windows partitions, see !windowsdrives
[08:54] <Tm_T> ubuntu: does that help a bit?
[08:54] <sephora> After all the uploading of packages with adept. What do I do then?
[08:55] <ubuntu> mom i try
[08:58] <ubuntu> that doesnt help me...can please someone explain it in detail, cause i'm a newby, sorry
[08:59] <frank> sephora: type kdegames in the quick search 
[09:07] <sephora> frank: I have marked all the packages I want and Instaled them... I think
[09:10] <vonHalenbach> sephora: If you are sure. Then press the button "commit changes"
[09:10] <sephora> It worked out!
[09:11] <sephora> On my other skolelinux/Kde computer I have this icon who gives me me my home-files. How to find that one here in kubuntu?
[09:12] <sephora> I mean my home catalog
[09:12] <frank> sephora: click the konqueror button (bottom right) then home folder
[09:12] <zyn> the button next to the k-menu opens a menu which has a home folder item
[09:13] <frank> sephora: sorry bottome left
[09:13] <vonHalenbach> sephora: You can add a link on your dektop.
[09:14] <vonHalenbach> desktop
[09:14] <sephora> I thouht so as well, but I cant fint it there. Should it look like a house?
[09:14] <vonHalenbach> Yes
[09:15] <sephora> It is not there
[09:16] <frank> sephora: click the konqueror button first, the 3rd icon from the left I think
[09:17] <sephora> I have been using kde fore 2 years. I think I know what I am looking fore. 
[09:17] <sephora> Do you mean that i schold use Kon... to find the files ?
[09:18] <dmlinux> hey guys , thinking of making the switch from gnome to KDE
[09:19] <dmlinux> if i apt-get install kubuntu-desktop will it keep all my settings, AND have that nice kubuntu login splash screen as well as load screen,  etc
[09:19] <kaveh> question: why can't I do 'su -p'
[09:19] <kaveh> is there an equivalent sudo command?
[09:20] <kaveh> need to keep my HOME dir variable
[09:20] <dmlinux> anyone?
[09:21] <dmlinux> anyone here? seems like a ghost town
[09:21] <Tm_T> dmlinux: ofcourse it keep your settings
[09:21] <dmlinux> tm_T so all of my installs will still be there, flash, etc
[09:21] <Tm_T> yu
[09:21] <sephora> thanks for all your help! John at www.haldenfriskole.no
[09:22] <dmlinux> Tm_T is there a way to make KDE have the two panels , one on top one on bottom, like gnome ? thats the one feature that has kept me in gnome so far
[09:22] <jpatrick> dmlinux: yes
[09:22] <frank> dmlinux: yes installing kubuntu-desktop adds programs, it doesn't remove anything
[09:22] <dmlinux> jpatrick SWEET, ok going to install kubuntu really quick 
[09:22] <Tm_T> :(
[09:23] <kaveh> i can't use export with sudo to set my home dir
[09:23] <Tm_T> making KDE look & act like Gnome is like bashing head off from a racehorse
[09:23] <Juerd> I could read chunks of memory through /dev/sdb
[09:23] <tarheelcoxn> Tm_T: hey now... calm
[09:23] <Tm_T> =)
[09:23] <Tm_T> tarheelcoxn: what
[09:24] <tarheelcoxn> some people like (and use) both
[09:24] <kaveh> i'm trying to install a sound scheme from http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=12584
[09:24] <Tm_T> tarheelcoxn: true, but that was my opinion
[09:24] <kaveh> i can't follow the install directions because i can't perform 'su -p'
[09:24] <kaveh> is there anyway around this?
[09:24] <Tm_T> sudo
[09:24] <kaveh> sudo doesn't keep my HOME variable to /home/kaveh
[09:25] <kaveh> sudo export HOME=/home/kaveh && sh install.sh
[09:25] <kaveh> gives me==> sudo: export: command not found
[09:25] <frank> sudo's home is probably /root
[09:26] <kaveh> i know
[09:26] <Tm_T> :(
[09:26] <tarheelcoxn> kaveh: you don't need the export
[09:26] <tarheelcoxn> just HOME=/blah sudo sh install.sh
[09:26] <kaveh> oh so just==> sudo HOME=/home/kaveh && sh install.sh
[09:26] <tarheelcoxn> you don't need && either
[09:26] <kaveh> oh ok
[09:26] <dmlinux> im excited, KDE was really cool
[09:26] <tarheelcoxn> try it that way
[09:26] <dmlinux> so many features, more than gnome
[09:27] <kaveh> with or without the &&?
[09:27] <tarheelcoxn> without the &&
[09:27] <Tm_T> dmlinux: not cool, just better in every way ;)
[09:27] <dmlinux> tm_t i think its cool :)
[09:27] <Tm_T> dmlinux: http://www.kapsi.fi/~tm_travolta/kuvat/temp/foo/foo_075.png
[09:27] <dmlinux> TM_t gnome has a clean look KDE is a little more "dirty" but its packed with features, i still love it
[09:27] <kaveh> the damn script keeps trying to install to /home/root
[09:28] <kaveh> that doesn't even exist
[09:28] <kaveh> it must be using the username variable
[09:28] <dmlinux> tm_t thats yours?
[09:28] <tarheelcoxn> kaveh: what script is this?
[09:28] <Tm_T> dmlinux: yu
[09:28] <kaveh> tarheelcoxn: http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=12584
[09:28] <tarheelcoxn> kaveh: why not edit the script, hard-coding /home/kaveh into it?
[09:28] <kaveh> ok fine :-)
[09:28] <dmlinux> TM_t i dont like the transparent, i like windows running on my desktop , makes me appreciate my wallpaper when i see it hehe
[09:29] <Tm_T> :)
[09:29] <kaveh> hahaha i was right the script uses $USER
[09:29] <dmlinux> Tm_t http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v119/Kahrgan/Screenshot.jpg
[09:30] <dmlinux> is there a synaptic in KDE i couldnt find it when i was on liveCD
[09:30] <jpatrick> dmlinux: Adept
[09:30] <dmlinux> jpatrick ah
[09:31] <mornfall> one day people will ask if there's something like adept in gnome... hah
[09:31] <kaveh> yeah Adept
[09:31] <kaveh> true
[09:31] <jpatrick> Adept rocks
[09:31] <dmlinux> well i was new to linux as of ubuntu breezy preview, so gnome is the only thing i knew 
[09:31] <kaveh> why is gnome the deafault for ubuntu?
[09:32] <sephora> Is it dificult fore me to install mplayer on this kubuntocomputer?
[09:32] <Tm_T> kaveh: I really don't know
[09:32] <kaveh> why isn't the fork gubuntu?
[09:32] <dmlinux> is there a starterbar for superkaramba?
[09:32] <jpatrick> kaveh: there a no forks
[09:32] <tarheelcoxn> kaveh: ubuntu is aimed at people all over the world--people all over the world have older hardware that can't make KDE as pretty as it should be
[09:32] <kaveh> seriously, i would never install GNOME
[09:32] <kaveh> no offense to its users
[09:33] <Tm_T> kaveh: it's good to test it sometimes
[09:33] <mornfall> tarheelcoxn: especially given kde is no slower than gnome, that's not very valid :)
[09:33] <dmlinux> kaveh i really like gnome, but Kubuntu went so much better in the way of configs
[09:33] <Tm_T> kaveh: so you know why you don't USE it ;)
[09:33] <kaveh> tarheelcoxn: so GNOME can look prettier on older hardware?
[09:33] <tarheelcoxn> mornfall: I'd love to see what you're basing that on
[09:34] <tarheelcoxn> kaveh: gnome isn't pretty
[09:34] <kaveh> Tim_T: i use KDE at home and at school they use GNOME on Solaris
[09:34] <dmlinux> tarheelcoxn http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v119/Kahrgan/Screenshot.jpg
[09:34] <tarheelcoxn> I'm just saying that KDE looks and behaves best on new(ish) hardware,
[09:34] <kaveh> tarheelcoxn: so why can't they have a stripped down version of KDE when the hardware is old?
[09:35] <mornfall> tarheelcoxn: well, urban folklore :)
[09:35] <tarheelcoxn> kaveh: good question
[09:35] <kaveh> tarheelcoxn: as far as desktop use is concerned i just don't understand why go with GNOME, if we want linux for human beings that is
[09:35] <mornfall> tarheelcoxn: from people running both kde and gnome
[09:35] <kaveh> i wonder how the ubuntun people feel about this
[09:36] <dmlinux> i finally want amaroK to run natively :)
[09:36] <tarheelcoxn> mornfall: which would include me, and my experience has been that KDE's bells and whistles aren't usable on older hardware
[09:36] <tarheelcoxn> but I like the bells and whistles, so I use KDE on my computers that can handle it
[09:36] <kaveh> is the main dev team married to GNOME? i think that it wouldn't be that hard to switch the mane dist to KDE and have a GNOME fork
[09:36] <dmlinux> i tell you what tho , KDE has a lot more apps going for it
[09:36] <mornfall> tarheelcoxn: depends on what you call bells and whistles
[09:37] <Zambba> gnome sucks ;)
[09:37] <tarheelcoxn> kaveh: subscribe to the dev list and lurk for awhile... maybe then you can report back to us
[09:37] <jpatrick> kaveh: there are no forks...
[09:37] <tarheelcoxn> :)
[09:37] <kaveh> jpatrick: i know but i forget the proper term, is it project?
[09:37] <tarheelcoxn> ubotu: #kubuntu-offtopic?
[09:37] <mornfall> tarheelcoxn: and kde takes less memory than gnome+mozilla anyway ;-)
[09:37] <ubotu> tarheelcoxn: No idea
[09:38] <tarheelcoxn> honestly fellas, I feel like I'm pulling the channel waaaay off the proper signal/noise
[09:39] <tarheelcoxn> if you want a defense of the use of gnome as the default for ubuntu, go ask an ubuntu developer
[09:39] <tarheelcoxn> I am a humble user
[09:39] <kaveh> yeah i'll stop now, i was just wondering
[09:40] <mornfall> oh well, there never was much signal in there
[09:40] <tarheelcoxn> :P
[09:40] <kaveh> it wouldn't matter so much if it just weren't for the fact that most of the Wiki and the documentation assumes GNOME
[09:41] <tomplast> hi people
[09:41] <tomplast> does anyone knows how to get a Pinnacle PCTV Stereo card working in Kubuntu?
[09:41] <tarheelcoxn> tomplast: greetings
[09:41] <kaveh> i just want to read about how to do equivalent stuff that i see posted in the wiki for ubuntu users in kubuntu
[09:41] <tarheelcoxn> kaveh: here is a good place to ask
[09:41] <tarheelcoxn> even better, if you figure it out, add to the wiki!
[09:42] <tarheelcoxn> tomplast: did it work in ubuntu?
[09:42] <kaveh> tarheelcoxn: thanks i just wish there was a seperate wiki for kubuntu, or should each topic in the wiki have an ubuntu and kubuntu section?
[09:42] <tarheelcoxn> and not in kubuntu?
[09:42] <tarheelcoxn> kaveh: only if there is a substantive difference
[09:43] <tarheelcoxn> and (relatively speaking) there aren't that many issues that _are_ different
[09:43] <kaveh> tarheelcoxn: ok i'll keep that in mind, thanks again
[09:43] <tarheelcoxn> :) np
[09:43] <tomplast> tarheelcoxn: i dont remember
[09:43] <tomplast> tarheelcoxn: in any case i want to run kubuntu and not ubuntu
[09:43] <tomplast> i dont like gnome :/
[09:43] <kaveh> haha
[09:44] <tomplast> it worked in Mandriva :/
[09:48] <dm> how do i get to firefox from KDE ? 
[09:49] <kaveh> Adept --> Quick Filter= "firefox"
[09:49] <kaveh> Install Package, Commit Changes
[09:49] <dm> where do i find Adept ?
[09:50] <mornfall> somewhere on the k menu... hopefully
[09:50] <kaveh> K Menu --> System --> Package Manager (Adept)
[09:50] <g0nk> alt-spacebar -> type in Adept -> hit enter ??  (newbie here, dont kill me if im wrong
[09:51] <kaveh> why won't my sounds in the System Notifications work?
[09:51] <kaveh> i don't get any sounds
[09:51] <kaveh> when the events occur
[09:51] <g0nk> speakers on/
[09:51] <kaveh> yes
[09:51] <kaveh> i hear sounds when i preview them
[09:51] <g0nk> well, that's the extent of my tech help.. :)
[09:51] <dm> kaveh ive got firefox, but from KDE i cant see where to use it
[09:52] <kaveh> oh
[09:52] <kkathman> afternoon again all..back after a brief absence :)
[09:53] <kaveh> is it under K Menu --> Internet --> Web Browser (Firefox Web Browser)??
[09:53] <kaveh> any one get their system notifications working?
[09:53] <kkathman> kaveh: what system notifications?
[09:53] <libben> dm: is it in there ?
[09:53] <kaveh> under system properties
[09:54] <kaveh> Sound & Multimedia --> System Notifications
[09:54] <kaveh> none of the sounds will play when the events occur
[09:54] <dm> yep its there !
[09:54] <kkathman> system properties?  
[09:54] <kaveh> dm: cool
[09:55] <kaveh> kkathman: K Menu --> System Properties --> Sound & Multimedia --> System Notifications
[09:55] <kkathman> you do have it all activated right?
[09:55] <dm> KDE = so pretty , *googly eyes*
[09:55] <kkathman> i.e. for each event
[09:55] <at1as> Is anyone else using Cisco's VPN Client on Kubuntu?
[09:55] <kaveh> different events have the Play a sound option checked
[09:55] <g0nk> at1as: holy crap i would like to know that as well..
[09:55] <kkathman> Apply to All Applications
[09:56] <at1as> ?
[09:56] <kaveh> i also selected Apply to all applications under the Quick Controls section and clicked the Turn On All for Sounds
[09:56] <kkathman> and then for each application at the top right?
[09:56] <etilico> hello!, someone have a correct version of skype .deb?
[09:57] <kkathman> there's a drop down box up there, otherwise you just configure for akregator or whatever is first
[09:57] <kaveh> kkathman: i take it back, the KMail event worked, it seems that none of "The KDE Window Manager" events seem to trigger sounds
[09:58] <kkathman> etilico: skype just released a brand new version in fact, to fix a security issue. You may have to get that from their site.
[09:58] <at1as> Is g0nk a bot or whaT?
[09:58] <kkathman> not a bot I think he's real.
[09:59] <kkathman> but ya never know for sure
[09:59] <at1as> hmmm... I'm trying to figure out just what his last message really means..?
[09:59] <at1as> Is anyone else using Cisco's VPN Client on Kubuntu?
[09:59] <hussam> was somebody here asking earlier about kppp and krinternet?
[10:00] <kkathman> kaveh: My guess is that you configured just Kmail...and not the rest of the applications...go to the top of that screen and pull down each application.
[10:01] <kaveh> kkathman: by configure do you mean have events that play a sound is checked? and a sound selected?
[10:04] <kkathman> kaveh yes for each application you can pull down at the top.
[10:04] <kkathman> you could, kaveh , go to each app and turn the notifications on there also
[10:05] <kaveh> well thats all done maybe i need to restart KDE
[10:05] <kaveh> anyway, is there a package for superkaramba or does one have to complie from source?
[10:05] <kkathman> kaveh: yep you can apt-get install superkaramba
[10:06] <kkathman> well of course put a sudo in front of that
[10:06] <kaveh> does superkaramba give you a OS X style bar at the bottom? are there good applications that do this? i would want more functionality than the OS X bar
[10:06] <kaveh> i tried one and it sucke
[10:06] <kaveh> sucked*
[10:07] <kkathman> kaveh no, basically it manages python transparent applets on your desktop primarily for system status and weather
[10:07] <kkathman> the kicker has plenty of configuration to make something close to an OS X bar
[10:07] <kkathman> just go to the system settings and configure the Mail Panel
[10:08] <kaveh> is the kicker the current task bar at the bottom of KDE?
[10:08] <kaveh> or is that different?
[10:08] <kkathman> kaveh: yes
[10:09] <kkathman> kicker = task bar at bottom, but you can move it anywhere...left, right, top or bottom, and even put more task bars
[10:09] <kaveh> kkathman: i like the ticker now and i have it very customized, i just want the look to be more like OS X with magnification, etc
[10:09] <kkathman> I have two in fact
[10:09] <kkathman> kaveh - no it wont do they...thats kinda klugey anyway in my opinion...but no magnification
[10:09] <kkathman> you can always go buy a Mac to get that
[10:10] <kaveh> kkathman: you misunderstand, i don't want a mac
[10:10] <kkathman> $2700 for an OS X bar that magnifies might be a good price for someone that really needs that
[10:11] <kaveh> kkathman: i have seen applications that do this, i was wondering if someone had tried a good one
[10:11] <kaveh> kkathman: hell they have applications that do it in Windows for crying out loud
[10:11] <kkathman> not me, its hardly that important to me to chase that down...Superkaramba is not it tho
[10:12] <kkathman> I want my tool bar to be as small as I can get it with as little space as possible
[10:12] <kaveh> ok here is a better question: what cool and usable addtions can one make to default kubuntu installation, other than customizing the kicker
[10:13] <kaveh> i notice superkaramba is one
[10:13] <kaveh> what little apps do people use for it
[10:13] <kaveh> etc
[10:13] <slow-motion_> n8
[10:14] <kaveh> also what is the diff between superkaramba and karamba? should i have both or just one, and if so which?
[10:14] <kkathman> kaveh: there is so much customizing the look and feel of kubuntu, that I doubt anyone could finish it in years...but Im sure there are other KDE add ins, but who knows if they are stable or not. Superkaramba is stable for the most part, but fairly boring in its selection
[10:15] <kaveh> kkathman: the reason that there are so many is why i'm asking what people here use/like
[10:15] <kkathman> kaveh: I'd just experiment with the settings. Try everything
[10:16] <kkathman> it would probably take you a while just to work through all the themes, styles, colors, and other appearance settings :)
[10:16] <kkathman> use multiple desktops..each one can have its own background
[10:17] <kkathman> I have 9
[10:17] <kaveh> kkathman: i've done all that for days, i'm looking to go beyond what is there in KDE by default
[10:18] <kkathman> besides the OSX thing, what did you have in mind?
[10:18] <kkathman> kaveh: have you been to kde-look.org?
[10:19] <dm> What format do i need to download for installing new ICONS
[10:21] <kaveh> kkathman: just recently
[10:22] <alessio> alguien que habla castellano?
[10:22] <kaveh> kkathman: well i just tried my first superkaramba theme and it crashed
[10:22] <rikva> !it
[10:22] <ubotu> italiano es #ubuntu-it per favore, andiamo! Grazi ... prego! :-)
[10:23] <alessio> argentinos hay?
[10:23] <tarheelcoxn> ubotu: tell alessio about spanish
[10:23] <rikva> !es ?
[10:23] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[10:23] <tarheelcoxn> rikva: castellano is spanish, not italian
[10:24] <tarheelcoxn> :)
[10:24] <rikva> sorry, his landcode is .it :p
[10:24] <tarheelcoxn> _there_ you go
[10:24] <tarheelcoxn> ahhhh
[10:25] <alessio> scusate....ma fra 20 giorni mi trasferisco a Buenos Aires...per questo chiedevo 
[10:27] <rikva> o..k
[10:28] <tarheelcoxn> rikva: he's moving from italy to argentina
[10:28] <tarheelcoxn> he was apologizing for the confusion
[10:29] <rikva> ah :)
[10:30] <kkathman> kaveh: which superkaramba theme?
[10:30] <dm> What format do Icon sets need to be in

[11:03] <nalioth> rr_: help is in here (giving or receiving)
[11:04] <rr_> nalioth thanks I mainly wanted to see discussions about problems and solutions to breezy
[11:04] <nalioth> hang out, they will happen
[11:05] <rr_> I upgraded to kde3.5 v2 and so far it's working good, just had a few minor bumbs along the way
[11:05] <flixor> hya everybody 
[11:05] <rr_> hi fixor
[11:05] <flixor> kkathman: hy evening 
[11:05] <flixor> so how are things overhere 
[11:06] <rr_> great with kubuntu
[11:06] <flixor> yes its great rr_ 
[11:07] <flixor> btw wich bittorrent client are you people using 
[11:08] <rr_> is bittorent normally slow?
[11:08] <flixor> it depends on how many seeds there are 
[11:08] <flixor> somethimes its very very fast 
[11:08] <nalioth> rr_: i use console + ncureses bittornado
[11:08] <rr_> I've tried it but it was way too slow, I end up going direct
[11:10] <flixor> ehm go btw nalioth i found out that when i use ktorrent or qtorrent that my internet browsing becomes very slow do you expernce the same thing 
[11:11] <nalioth> ktorrent sucks
[11:11] <nalioth> it's still quite buggy
[11:11] <nalioth> pardon my french
[11:11] <flixor> well i have the same problem with qtorrent 
[11:11] <nalioth> try bittornado-gui
[11:11] <flixor> kee 
[11:12] <rr_> is Konversation able to dock/integrate into Konqueror
[11:12] <rexykik> anyone know much about doing thin client booting on ltsp? When I boot a terminal I seem to get to xdm on the terminal, but when I logon my x server just restarts, which makes me believe that it is a local X session rather than booting from the X-server of the ltsp server.
[11:15] <flixor> nalioth: what is the command for starting the program 
[11:15] <flixor> nevermind 
[11:15] <kaveh> what is YaKuake????
[11:15] <nalioth> flixor: what is the command for starting it?
[11:15] <flixor> bitornado

[11:18] <flixor> strange nalioth 
[11:18] <nalioth> what problems are those, flixor ?
[11:19] <kaveh> teprrr: console as in konsole?
[11:19] <flixor> whenever i download with bittorent my browsing becomes very slow 
[11:19] <flixor> when i do a ping to for example to goole i normaly have a response of 8 9 ms but with bittorent downloading it becomes something around 850-900 ms 
[11:20] <nalioth> oh yes, bt will HOG your b/w
[11:20] <nalioth> lemme help you with that
[11:20] <flixor> kee 
[11:20] <nalioth> flixor: http://www.dessent.net/btfaq/cmdline.shtml
[11:20] <flixor> so there is a solution 
[11:20] <nalioth> start it with a limiting flag
[11:20] <flixor> let me take a look at that 
[11:21] <nalioth> i dont allow my bt to upload more than 15KB/s
[11:21] <eGaTS> quick newbie question. any takers?
[11:22] <nalioth> eGaTS: you have to ask to take
[11:22] <eGaTS> lol
[11:22] <nalioth> just ask
[11:22] <eGaTS> trying to compile a gimp plugin
[11:22] <eGaTS> when i try to make, it tells me gcc isn't in $PATH
[11:23] <flixor> but nalioth my bt is not uploading anything 
[11:23] <flixor> its only downloading 
[11:23] <teprrr> kaveh, yup
[11:23] <flixor> and then my bandwitch is crushed 
[11:23] <teprrr> kaveh, http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=29153
[11:23] <nalioth> flixor: you can set d/l speed u/l speed read the page
[11:24] <eGaTS> i'm not familiar with the linux directories. where would i look for gcc?
[11:25] <nalioth> eGaTS: you'll have to install "build-essential"
[11:25] <eGaTS> hmm... ok. i already installed gcc though. should i remove it first?
[11:26] <tarheelcoxn> eGaTS: where'd you get it?
[11:26] <tarheelcoxn> eGaTS: did you install it with Adept?
[11:26] <eGaTS> one of the default repositories
[11:26] <tarheelcoxn> ahh
[11:27] <eGaTS> yes
[11:27] <tarheelcoxn> then no, don't bother uninstalling
[11:27] <nikki_a> hmmmm
[11:27] <nalioth> eGaTS: nope, install 'build-essential'  apt-get / adept is smart enough to add whats missing
[11:27] <eGaTS> k
[11:28] <eGaTS> another thing-- i added universe and multiverse, and now adept is spitting out tons of errors
[11:28] <nalioth> eGaTS: like what? (and dont paste in here)
[11:28] <tarheelcoxn> !gpg-err
[11:28] <ubotu> tarheelcoxn: I don't know, could you explain it?
[11:28] <tarheelcoxn> !gpg
[11:28] <ubotu> methinks gpg is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GPGKey or http://www.linuxgazette.com/node/8746
[11:28] <eGaTS> tell ya in a sec.
[11:29] <nalioth> !gpgerr
[11:29] <ubotu> If you get GPG errors when accessing the Ubuntu archives, sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* (Yes, you will get some 'is a directory' messages, that's fine) then wait 10 minutes and retry.
[11:30] <eGaTS> it's a whole bunch of "Couldn't stat source package list..." errors
[11:31] <nalioth> eGaTS: try again later
[11:31] <eGaTS> so does that mean the packages i committed didn't get installed?
[11:32] <eGaTS> it really does say "stat" (not start, as i originally thought)
[11:32] <seth_k|lappy> eGaTS, make sure you reload the package lists
[11:33] <eGaTS> how?
[11:33] <seth_k|lappy> click the "recycle" arrows if using Adept
[11:33] <eGaTS> k
[11:33] <seth_k|lappy> or "sudo apt-get update" if using the command line
[11:33] <seth_k|lappy> eGaTS, the errors were not because your sources were corrupt
[11:33] <seth_k|lappy> it was simply because you added repos (universe and multiverse)
[11:33] <seth_k|lappy> and did not add them from the server
[11:34] <eGaTS> k. thanks
[11:34] <seth_k|lappy> the "couldn't stat source package list" means that you've never loaded that particular list before
[11:34] <seth_k|lappy> from the server
[11:34] <seth_k|lappy> You should run an update (the recycle arrows) every so often to get fresh lists of what software is available from the server
[11:35] <nikki_a> nalioth: evening! :)
[11:35] <seth_k|lappy> Yayyyyyyyy my Alps scrolling works again! :D
[11:35] <seth_k|lappy> and tap to drag!
[11:35] <nalioth> nikki_a: howdy stranger
[11:36] <nikki_a> nalioth: stranger?
[11:36] <eGaTS> one of the breezy-security packages had an error
[11:36] <nikki_a> nalioth: /me == nikkia on laptop
[11:36] <Tm_T> :(
[11:36] <nalioth> nikki ah   not quite nikkia
[11:37] <nikki_a> nalioth: and nickserv's info on me should confirm that its a linked nick, if you don't trust me :P
[11:38] <flixor> ehm nalioth it doesnt have effect 
[11:38] <nalioth> nikki ah, i know who you are and you are great!
[11:38] <flixor> anyway we look into that later 
[11:38] <nalioth> flixor: choose a lower number
[11:38] <flixor> yes i choose already the settings for a dial-up modem and i am on a adsl connection 
[11:39] <flixor> so i dont think that is the problem

[11:44] <flixor> its called the Linu Administration Handbook 
[11:44] <flixor> by evi Nemeth Gart Snyder and Trent R Hein 
[11:44] <kkathman> thats a good one to have...I have the "Linux Bible", which is quite good

[11:51] <kkathman> flixor: Heres another good reference...its the IBM self-training site for Linux Certification...an excellent resource and teaching aid:  http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/lpi/?S_TACT=105AGX03&S_CMP=ZHP
[11:51] <flixor> kee thanks 
[11:51] <flixor> i must bookmark this one because the otherone looks very very good 
[11:52] <blackflag> hello all :-)
[11:52] <kkathman> doesnt cost anything, and its pretty comprehensive
[11:52] <blackflag> I have  avnc problem
[11:53] <eGaTS> wow. this compiler is hungry. now it wants an XML::Parser perl module?
[11:53] <flixor> lol :)
[11:53] <blackflag> maybe someone can help me an tell me how I do xvnc start at boot time?
[11:53] <nalioth> eGaTS: may i offer you a suggestion?
[11:53] <eGaTS> yes!
[11:53] <eGaTS> i would rtfm if i knew which m to f'in r.
[11:53] <blackflag> with the m4 version its easy
[11:54] <blackflag> I can say run as service , okay thats all
[11:54] <nalioth> eGaTS: hang on a minim and i'll help you greatly
[11:54] <eGaTS> :)
[11:54] <blackflag> but I can not find such thing under debian and ubuntu
[11:55] <nalioth> eGaTS: there is a perl repository on the net. if you install this file, you can use it to install ANY perl module you'll need from now on
[11:55] <nalioth> eGaTS: http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/K/KA/KANE/CPANPLUS-0.0562.tar.gz
[11:55] <blackflag> I tired Xvnc -inetd
[11:56] <blackflag> no errors
[11:56] <eGaTS> sweeet.
[11:56] <blackflag> but I can not connect
[11:56] <flixor> kkathman: the last tutorial is great 
[11:56] <blackflag> when I start xvnc manually all went okay
[11:56] <flixor> from ibm looks pretty good 
[11:57] <nalioth> eGaTS: you untar that and read the README and/or INSTALL, and i'll brb
[11:57] <blackflag> I read in google that the vnc server should start automatic when a client creates a connection
[11:58] <blackflag> but it dont do it
[11:58] <eGaTS> thanks, nalioth :)
[11:58] <blackflag> someone has an idea?
[11:59] <kkathman> flixor I think that the whole site is good...followed from start to finish
[11:59] <flixor> yes that might be the case 
[12:00] <mpmc> Is it me or is Linux Bassless? sounds nothing like windows when playing music....
[12:00] <mpmc> sounds flat
[12:00] <kkathman> flixor: Since its meant to prepare people for the LPI exam, theres a very good breadth of knowledge
[12:00] <nikki_a> mpmc, probably cheating drivers for your sound chip/card
[12:00] <mpmc> can I get a bass boost?
[12:01] <nikki_a> mpmc: perhaps, check alsamixer, some drivers have a bass boost control, some don't, some windows drivers cheat and always boost bass
[12:01] <flixor> yes, wich means i am becomming an epert :) 
[12:01] <kkathman> flixor: I've been waiting for them to come out with a Senior Administrator course :)
[12:02] <nikki_a> mpmc: failing that, use your media-player-of-choice's-eq :)
[12:02] <kkathman> Not that I could pass the other two at this point :)
[12:02] <flixor> a senior course 
[12:02] <flixor> lol 
[12:02] <mpmc> nikka_a I'm using the intel AC97 Audio chip
[12:02] <flixor> well why dont you start with the first one kkathman 
[12:02] <nikki_a> mpmc: no, you're not :P
[12:02] <mpmc> nikka_a: huh?
[12:02] <kkathman> flixor: I did...but its pretty basic stuff tho
[12:02] <mpmc> nikka_a: What makes you so sure?
[12:02] <nikki_a> mpmc: its a common misconception about AC97
[12:03] <kkathman> like what a computer is, what makes up the components, etc
[12:03] <mpmc> nikka_a: Realtek AC97 Audio
