| nikki_a | mpmc: no, linux knows what it says, and what AC97 really is :) | 12:04 |
| nikki_a | mpmc: the ICH 'driver' is the AC97 generator, it is part of the chipset, it is the part that actually needs a driver, it produces a AC97 bitstream | 12:04 |
| mpmc | nikka_a: I wonder is there is any real drivers for it on linux | 12:04 |
| nikki_a | then the realtek chip is the part that takes the AC97 bitstream and converts it to audio | 12:04 |
| toby | Hullo folks. Any leafnode users here? | 12:04 |
| mpmc | nikka_a: Is there a driver!1 | 12:05 |
| nikki_a | mpmc: you don't need a driver for the realtek chip, its part of how AC97 works | 12:05 |
| nikki_a | mpmc: you need a driver for the AC97 source (the ICH2/3/4/5 part) | 12:05 |

| nikki_a | mpmc: see, the problem is, linux (alsa) traditionally only talks to the AC97 source, the intel, via, sis southbridge | 12:07 |
| eGaTS | so this thing acts like adept? it retrieves perl modules? | 12:07 |
| nikki_a | it uses the standard AC97 methods for setting mixer levels, etc | 12:08 |
| eGaTS | and cpanplus is like a repository? | 12:08 |

| mpmc | nikka_a: can I make it sound better.. IE get more bass? | 12:08 |
| nikki_a | mpmc: the problem is, windows drivers 'cheat', they talk directly to the AC97 target, and occasionally activate features, or do stuff like bass boost, to 'sound better' to uninformed ears (in reality, you're better off doing the bass boost in the digital domain) | 12:09 |
| nikki_a | mpmc: yes, use the EQ controls in your media player, the sound quality is better than cheating the AC97 codec into boosting bass anyway | 12:09 |

| LjL | well, two questions besides repositories: 1) is anyone here using a Mac-style menu bar (since it works strangely here)? 2) how stable is KDE 3.5b2, in the opinions of those who tried it? | 12:42 |
| nalioth | mac-style? | 12:43 |
| LjL | yeah, one single menu bar for all applications, on the top of the screen. if you go to the Desktop settings in KDE (right click on the desktop), you'll have an option for that somewhere | 12:44 |
| LjL | basically, a new Kicker panel will be created, containing the menu bar | 12:44 |
| nalioth | should work the same as a bottom feeding kicker | 12:45 |
| LjL | i don't know what a bottom feeding kicker is... but anyway, the problem i have is this (well, it's not really a problem, it's just a strange behaviour i can work around) | 12:45 |
| LjL | in older versions of KDE, the menu bar wasn't really a Kicker panel, but a thing by itself. so, you couldn't add other elements to it | 12:46 |
| LjL | but, in older versions, there was a "Menu" applet you could add to panels, which substitued that menu bar | 12:46 |
| kkathman | LjL: I add lots of things to my kicker, and have a second panel just above it for all my applications | 12:47 |
| LjL | now, there is no "Menu" applet (well, it's there, but hidden - you can de-hide it, but it doesn't work) | 12:47 |
| === aliveuser [n=aliveuse@200.91.94.186] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| LjL | the menu bar, though, has become a real kicker panel, but a very strange one: it can't be configured like other panels (can only stay on top, etc), it can't be the main panel (so i have to keep a "main panel" somewhere even tho i have no need for it) | 12:47 |
| LjL | and sometimes it just behaves weirdly (like, when i login, it isn't where it ought to be, i.e. at the top of the screen) | 12:48 |

| LjL | nalioth: they shouldn't have called it Start to begin with... | 01:05 |

| LjL | oh, by the way, how does one get hibernation from KDE? in Gnome, there is "Hibernate" in the log out menu, and it just works (though it's much slower than I'd like)( | 01:16 |

| LjL | niomi: what I hate about KDE is that, to my tastes, it looks ugly as hell by default :-) and, yeah, it's full of options... but i find it just much more attractive than Gnome | 01:19 |
| LjL | i mean, it has concepts in it, it doesn't just try to be "usable" | 01:19 |

| LjL | niomi: definitely | 01:24 |
| LjL | the KDE panel is quite powerful | 01:24 |
| LjL | well, KDE in general is quite powerful, even though it would probably benefit from some tidying-up | 01:25 |
| LjL | without actually *removing* features... just by making "essential" features stand out more clearly | 01:25 |
| nalioth | Niomi: ANYTHING in linux is configurable by you to any appearance you desire | 01:25 |
| LjL | so that you just don't keep staring for minutes at an overcrowded configuration dialog :) | 01:25 |
| nalioth | Niomi: there is no "windows registry" all settings for all you see is in YOUR personal home directory | 01:26 |
| Niomi | nalioth: the terminal window changed to a BIOS-like interface (grey boxes + black mono test on blue backround). Is this normal? | 01:26 |
| LjL | nalioth: well... it depends how *easily* configurable something is! :-) everything is configurable because you can always change the source code, but, come on ;) | 01:26 |
| nalioth | LjL: i'm referring to the magical .files | 01:26 |
| Niomi | .files? | 01:27 |
| nalioth | Niomi: i'm not sure what BIOS-like is.. but if it's asking you a question, choose gdm | 01:27 |
| LjL | nalioth: ok... still, they don't necessary allow you to configure *everything* you might like to configure | 01:27 |
| nalioth | ubotu: tell Niomi about cli | 01:27 |
| LjL | niomi: he means filenames beginning with a dot, i.e. hidden files | 01:27 |
| nalioth | Niomi: in *nix, .files are not seen by default (anything with a . in front of it is considered "invisible" until specifically called upon | 01:28 |
| Niomi | LjL: oh, thanks! They had .files in windows too, though I believe they were windows ports of linux software. | 01:28 |
| Niomi | such as a .gaim folder in Application Data (I think) | 01:28 |
| LjL | Niomi: i guess so, and in windows they don't get hidden anyway. in Linux, files beginning with a '.' are hidden by default by most shell programs | 01:28 |
| nalioth | Niomi: correct | 01:29 |
| LjL | instead, Windows has a specific attribute "Hidden" to hide files | 01:29 |
| CellarDoor | could someone explain how I can stop breezy's normal boot up and just go to a bash prompt ? | 01:29 |

| LjL | propagandhi: didn't know about that one, thanks | 01:37 |
| LjL | nalioth: isn't ext3 just ext2 with a jornal added? i mean, an ext3 filesystem can be mounted as ext2 with no trouble | 01:38 |
| nalioth | eGaTS: let's pause for a moment, and open a console | 01:38 |
| propagandhi | LjL: no worries | 01:38 |
| eGaTS | already there, n. | 01:38 |
| nalioth | LjL: it is, but you cant treat it like an ext2 fs | 01:38 |
| nalioth | eGaTS: type "gedit ~/.bashrc" | 01:38 |
| eGaTS | k | 01:39 |
| frank23 | nalioth: since you can mount an ext3 as ext2 isn't ok to use it that? (but maybe recovering still doesn't work) | 01:39 |
| nalioth | eGaTS: at the bottom of the .bashrc, type alias rm="rm -i" | 01:39 |

| eGaTS | lol, that's ok | 01:40 |
| Niomi | that's nalioth :D | 01:40 |
| nalioth | eGaTS: dont need a "rm speedbump" ? i have one | 01:40 |
| eGaTS | i would have confirmed the deletion anyways | 01:41 |
| nalioth | eGaTS: it's your machine :) | 01:41 |
| frank23 | nalioth: ok. I guess the only way to have "undelete" is by using a script for rm that backs up files somewhere instead of deleting them. | 01:41 |
| nalioth | frank23: that is one way, yes | 01:42 |
| eGaTS | never mind. i think you answered my question: there is no undelete command native to linux. end of topic. | 01:42 |
| frank23 | eGaTS: maybe some other filesystems are more forgiving | 01:43 |
| LjL | frank: well, or at least a script that saves the starting block of the file somewhere | 01:43 |
| nalioth | frank23: ahemWindoh!sGurgle | 01:43 |
| LjL | egats: well, if you're using ext2, there definitely is (though "native to linux" doesn't mean much of anything) | 01:43 |
| nalioth | LjL: as frank23 mentioned there is a script that takes "rm bleh" and squirrels 'bleh' away somewehre in a temp dir | 01:43 |
| eGaTS | what i mean by native is the simple commands: ls, rm, etc. | 01:44 |
| LjL | nalioth: yeah, i read what he said... | 01:44 |
| nalioth | Niomi: /msg nickserv help register | 01:44 |
| nalioth | Niomi: /msg nickserv register <THEPASSWORDYOUWANT> | 01:44 |
| LjL | egats: they aren't any more native than the "e2undel" command. well, actually, "ls" and "rm" are bash built-ins AFAIK, but they're not "native to linux" by any means | 01:44 |

| eGaTS | i guess i made some assumptions about the file system i shouldn't have. i'll have to read up on ext. | 01:46 |
| LjL | they're simply executable programs, which happen to be found on a large number of systems running Linux | 01:46 |
| LjL | in other words, they're quite standard, but "native", no | 01:46 |
| LjL | egats: I have a feeling that, simply, nobody until now cared to write an "undelete" program for ext3... but i don't think it's not doable in principle | 01:47 |

| dm | ljl yeah , gnome had them but KDE doesnt, thats wierd | 02:01 |
| fujisan | important 1 :) | 02:01 |
| nalioth | fujisan: there are no known viruses for linux, no matter where you surf | 02:01 |
| fujisan | answer please | 02:01 |
| fujisan | :) | 02:01 |
| fujisan | cool | 02:01 |
| LjL | dm, kkathman: yeah, but anyway, on my computer KDE isn't recognizing my "multimedia" keys as valid shortcuts --- then, the fact that there is no "volume" shortcut available is another issue | 02:02 |
| fujisan | maybe i should make some :) | 02:02 |
| tarheelcoxn | fujisan: good luck | 02:02 |
| frank23 | nalioth: that's not absolutely true is it? malicious programs that run as user could definitly exist | 02:02 |

| kkathman | there isnt much reason for a virus writer to go the LInux direction anyway...the impact wouldnt be satisfying to them | 02:05 |
| LjL | oh, look! | 02:06 |
| LjL | if you right click on the master volume slider (or any slider, actually) in KMix, there is a "Configure shortcuts" that will allow you to set shortcuts for volume up, down and mute | 02:06 |
| frank23 | nalioth: yeah.. Do you know if there is anyway to prevent a specific program from using the network? ex: allow one browser but not another | 02:06 |

| tarheelcoxn | ie. you don't need to worry about you linux box being hacked unless it is a production server | 02:08 |

| LjL | (by the way, another thing GNOME supports "out of the box" is hibernation, or software-suspend, which KDE apparently doesn't support on Kubuntu, even though i've read clues that it's supposed to support it) | 02:13 |

| nalioth | FreeBird: b- | 02:14 |
| fujisan | There were no decoders found to handle the stream, you might need to install the corresponding plugins | 02:15 |
| LjL | niomi: actually, my computer is not a laptop, but hibernation (i.e. software suspend, i.e. suspend-to-disk) does work in GNOME -- what's strange is that it works without the "hibernate" script installed | 02:15 |
| nalioth | fujisan: search adept for 'mpeg' | 02:16 |
| LjL | must say it's not too well-refined even in gnome... when i tell it to hibernate, it does some stuff, then turns the HDs off, then on again, and then turns the power off | 02:16 |

| LjL | besides, i think hibernation is underrated. i've read people writing "it's not needed anyway, as KDE/GNOME can restore the session as it was previously, not like RedmondSoft does" | 02:18 |
| nalioth | endo602: all these programs in the repos are free to use as you wish, d/l and use as many as you can find, and keep on using what you like | 02:18 |
| LjL | well, this just makes no sense, as hibernation gives you a much faster boots when you have many applets/applications loaded, and the "session restoring" is much more predictable | 02:19 |

| alix | i use kde in kubuntu, i don't know what kind of interface fedora uses | 04:46 |
| bastardkestrel | but i think its ubuntu | 04:46 |

| bastardkestrel | or kernel | 04:46 |

| Hobbsee | alix: that's a massive difference between the systems - if you stuck kubuntu on the 2.4 GB one, and fedora core 2 on the other, you'd be wondering why fedora was so slow | 05:06 |

| bastardkestrel | alix: that will improve performance | 05:07 |

| raphink | I have many american friends | 10:15 |

| raphink | but I still can't accept the way the US act in the world | 10:15 |
| raphink | sure dm | 10:15 |
| raphink | the big difference | 10:15 |
| Futal | quite well explained, at least why american people think french people hate them | 10:15 |
| raphink | is taht I don't like my govt either | 10:15 |

| raphink | French people don't like the US govt | 10:15 |

| raphink | they don't only criticize others' govt | 10:16 |

| raphink | because govts are corrupted | 10:16 |
| raphink | everywhere | 10:16 |
| Futal | dm: french people love to give their opinion | 10:16 |
| raphink | and because french people like to complain | 10:16 |

| raphink | and anything | 10:16 |

| dm | and who does? | 10:17 |
| raphink | I think actually many french people complain too much | 10:17 |
| Futal | actually, it is often misunderstood by american: if someone is a good friend, you should tell her/him your opinion, especially if you don't think the same | 10:17 |
| raphink | and act too few | 10:17 |
| raphink | yes Futal, agree | 10:18 |
| dm | futal but thats a difference of culture, not everyone comes from the same understandings of whats right to say, and whats wrong | 10:18 |
| raphink | this is being `frank' as in `france' | 10:18 |
| Futal | telling your opinion - especially if it is different - is a mark of respect (in french of course) | 10:19 |
| raphink | maybe we got thta from the barbarians who first invaded our country | 10:19 |
| dm | two major things you dont want to get into an opinions and side with an american Religon/Government | 10:19 |
| Futal | on the contrary of the US where you should agree with friends, or at least find a common view | 10:19 |
| raphink | in french we have these expressions : `jouer franc jeu' and `tre franc' | 10:20 |
| dm | Futal its all about sacrafice | 10:20 |
| raphink | they both come from the name of the barbarians who `created' the french kingdom | 10:20 |
| raphink | and they both mean being honnest even in telling truth that are painful | 10:20 |
| raphink | so that everything is well set | 10:20 |

| dm | raphink but the american population doesnt make the decisions, so dont hold it against them. Holdit against the American Govt. and the people that run it. not the people that live in america. I live in America, and i dont know what the fuck the GVT is doing most times, Nor do i understand it or like it. | 10:28 |
| raphink | I thought America called itself a democracry | 10:28 |
| dm | raphink but its a good country to live in, thats why im here. | 10:28 |

| raphink | sure | 10:30 |
| raphink | as I said I don't hold it against the american citizens | 10:31 |

| nikkia | flixor: looks like its working from the internet at large, no idea why it wouldn't work from your ssh server you're trying from tho | 01:46 |
| propagandhi | flixor: are you behind a firewall at this alternate site | 01:46 |
| nikkia | propagandhi: letting IN port 22 traffic, but not out? that seems a bit, strange | 01:46 |
| flixor | funny thing is that is works rightnow for me aswell | 01:46 |
| propagandhi | nikkia: i know but stranger things have happened | 01:47 |
| nikkia | propagandhi: true | 01:47 |
| flixor | maybe the router is not updating so quickly | 01:47 |
| propagandhi | flixor: perhaps it just ook a while for the router to accept connections, I dont knoe | 01:47 |
| propagandhi | know | 01:47 |
| nikkia | my 3com router used to be like that | 01:47 |
| nikkia | you'd make a change, and it wouldn't happen instantly, it'd take a couple of minutes before the change would propagate inside its firewall tables | 01:48 |
| nikkia | (even if you did a save/reboot - it was very annoying when trying to debug things like web server forwarding :) | 01:48 |

| flixor | :) | 01:50 |
| propagandhi | flixor: nikkia is correct | 01:50 |
| bmanRad | How has everyone found KDE 3.5 beta2? | 01:50 |
| nikkia | flixor: i work around it by using a 127.0.0.1 alias for my dynamic DNS name for my WAN address, inside the lan | 01:50 |
| propagandhi | same from my work site | 01:50 |
| nikkia | or a 192.* address on other LAN-side machines | 01:50 |
| flixor | kee cool well nikkia and propagandhi you are a life saver | 01:50 |
| flixor | thanks a lot | 01:50 |
| nikkia | it means you sometimes don't catch problems if your dynamic dns is wrong (dynamic IP, whatever) but thats life | 01:50 |

| ph8 | it's an HP 1410 which i run with the 1400 drivers, as told to on the ubuntu website | 03:53 |

| Futal | mariux: awale | 03:56 |
| Futal | or awele | 03:56 |
| mariux | if you pick up seven stones f.ex. you have to put the first in the poket to the right and then the other in the poket to the right og that again and so on | 03:57 |
| Futal | ph8: it is a known bug -> I had to install mandriva back on my mum computer because else she couldn't use the printer :( | 03:57 |
| mariux | thanks Futal | 03:58 |
| Futal | ph8: you might check if the bug can be fixed, my try was back in july | 03:59 |

| nikkia | amarock: mplayer can only scale video in a few output drivers, 'xv' is the best one | 04:44 |
| mariux | i like mplayer -vo xv | 04:44 |
| amarock | nikkia: huh? so wha shud i do? | 04:44 |
| mariux | it workes best for me | 04:44 |
| nikkia | amarock: try playing it with -vo xv | 04:44 |
| mariux | mplayer -vo xv filename.avi | 04:44 |
| amarock | kaff is BEST really...of all ive tried | 04:44 |
| nikkia | amarock: if that works, then add '-vo xv' to your ~/.mplayer/config file | 04:44 |

| nikkia | amarock: if your X config supports it, xv is the best option for video playback, as the video card can accelerate a few of the common video tasks that way | 04:46 |

| majecek | hi | 05:36 |
| majecek | guys I got questions | 05:36 |
| majecek | I have set up a root passwd and now I would like to disable the roots passw | 05:36 |
| Robdor | majecek: you mean disable the root account? | 05:37 |
| endo602 | i would like to get into my kdedesktop but my boot hangs at "checking battery state' | 05:38 |
| majecek | no I don't want to disable root account | 05:38 |
| majecek | usualy when you install (k)ubuntu if you want to use root commands you use sudo without passwd | 05:39 |
| majecek | I have set up password for root with passwd command | 05:39 |
| Robdor | majecek: try this - sudo passwd -l root | 05:39 |
| majecek | should I be root? | 05:40 |
| Robdor | majecek: if you are root then leave out the sudo. | 05:40 |
| stupendo44 | endo602: I had the same problem. are you using a laptop? | 05:40 |
| endo602 | yes | 05:40 |
| === Pupeno [n=pupeno@host147.201-252-17.telecom.net.ar] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| Robdor | majecek: this is from the passwd man page - User accounts may be locked and unlocked with the -l and -u flags. The -l option disables an account by changing the password to a value which matches no possible encrypted value. The -u option re-enables an account by changing the password back to its previous value. | 05:41 |
| endo602 | stup whats the cure? | 05:41 |
| stupendo44 | endo602: I only had the issue once I tried to use a better kernel. I think uninstalling some battery related prog fixed it | 05:41 |
| stupendo44 | endo602: the problem is, I tried a few things | 05:41 |
| stupendo44 | endo602: did you recently change something | 05:41 |
| endo602 | hmmmm | 05:42 |
| endo602 | prolly yes | 05:42 |

| stupendo44 | mpmc: try CTRL + ALT + BACKSPACE | 05:43 |
| stupendo44 | that will just reset kde | 05:43 |
| mpmc | I have tried it | 05:44 |
| stupendo44 | nothing? | 05:44 |
| mpmc | I draged it somewhere | 05:44 |
| majecek | when I am using sudo it always ask me for passwd (cause I have set it up), but when I try to run some GUI application as root (ie. k3b ) -> it ask for passwd but it doesn't use that passwd | 05:44 |
| majecek | in the console it takes the passwd. How can I solve it? | 05:44 |
| Robdor | majecek: the password it is asking for when you sudo is the user you are currently logged in as. Not root. | 05:44 |
| stupendo44 | endo602: you still there? | 05:45 |

| mpmc | just the background and the right click menu | 05:46 |

| stupendo44 | mpmc: I'm just thinking that maybe you acidentally hid it | 05:46 |
| Snifffurt | ups wrong channel sry | 05:47 |
| mpmc | that what, I was thinking.. | 05:47 |
| mpmc | I dunno how to reset it though | 05:47 |
| Snifffurt | this was meant for kubuntu-de | 05:47 |
| Snifffurt | heheh | 05:47 |
| majecek | Robdor I think that it still doesn't work at it should work | 05:47 |
| mpmc | there were no icons to begin with... | 05:47 |
| stupendo44 | mpmc: well, the way to hide it is clicking the hide button, but if it doesn't show, then it may be something else | 05:48 |

| hussam | kkathman: I don't think kde programs depend on the kernel version, slackware still runs 2.4.30 | 07:06 |

| stupendo44 | win[X] amp: what's the problem? | 07:25 |
| win[X] amp | what is sudo | 07:27 |
| win[X] amp | sorry i newbie | 07:27 |
| kkathman | win[X] amp: sudo is used in lieu of having a root account | 07:28 |
| stupendo44 | sudo stands for 'superuser do' | 07:28 |
| kkathman | ubuntu does not deliver an enabled "root" account (though you can enable it), so for critical system commands, sudo is prepended to those commands | 07:28 |
| stupendo44 | running as root all the time is unsafe | 07:29 |
| win[X] amp | how can i enable it | 07:29 |
| kkathman | you dont want to enable it | 07:29 |
| kkathman | theres no need to | 07:29 |
| stupendo44 | you can use root when you need to execute commands with sudo | 07:29 |
| === hussam [n=hussam@194.146.153.38] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| kkathman | especially if you are a newbie | 07:29 |
| stupendo44 | like if you need to run apt-get you run 'sudo apt-get install blah-blah-blah' | 07:29 |
| stupendo44 | then it will prompt for a password | 07:30 |
| stupendo44 | which is the password of the first account created | 07:30 |
| stupendo44 | win[X] amp: what do you need to do as root? anything specific? | 07:30 |
| kkathman | stupendo44: no, its the system password you created on installation actually (not your first account) | 07:30 |
| kkathman | they can be different | 07:30 |
| stupendo44 | kkathman: sorry, didn't know. ok, win[X] amp, it's the system password you created on installation | 07:31 |
| win[X] amp | i just wanna know | 07:31 |
| win[X] amp | its different with other distro | 07:31 |
| kkathman | win[X] amp: if you are a newbie, just hang loose and do what you can...then if you have certain commands, like apt-get, just prepend the SUDO with it | 07:31 |
| stupendo44 | win[X] amp: other distros don't try to be safe | 07:32 |
| kkathman | the only time you'll need sudo is when there is a possible system impact | 07:32 |

| iceman | Freakin kubuntu, what application do you use to install kde-look themes ? | 09:21 |
| dmlinux | should just be under themes, lemme look | 09:21 |
| insanekane | dmlinux: i don't have a multimedia keyboard ... i was interested in the solution so that I could provide an answer to the people who come in here asking the same question | 09:21 |
| insanekane | dmlinux: especially since you claimed it was "the easy way" :) | 09:21 |
| dmlinux | insanekane what keyboard do you have | 09:21 |
| insanekane | dmlinux: you are quite likely not to heard of it ... i have a TVS Gold keyboard | 09:22 |
| iceman | dmlinux there not the *.kcsrc files ... these are color schemes ot what ever you want ot call them | 09:22 |
| dmlinux | iceman go to theme manager , the install new theme button is in that window, right next to the preview | 09:22 |
| Calilasseia | Hello everyone ... quick question, does anyone here develop Java code on their Linux install? | 09:22 |
| dmlinux | iceman use "import theme " in the colors window | 09:22 |
| dmlinux | insanekane ok let me look thta one up | 09:22 |
| iceman | dmlinux "k" button, then where .. what application | 09:23 |
| nalioth | Calilasseia: not me but ask your question | 09:23 |

| dmlinux | insanekane i dont see any multimedia keys on this keyboard | 09:24 |
| dmlinux | iceman if you at system settings, go to "colors" | 09:25 |
| iceman | it wants " *.kcsrc " files, these files from kde-look are gzip's then a bunch of png files and the like ... | 09:25 |

| mpmc | whats a good P2P program? | 09:27 |
| dmlinux | insanekane must of the multimedia buttons are mapped as the same thing, so switching to itouch layout is a easy solution., i tried it with my dell laptop my i touch and some other brand youve never heard off, cheapy 10 dollar keyboard | 09:27 |

| iceman | kubuntu is screwey for the setup for adding a color scheme ... *.kcsrc the files on kde-look i keep getting are a bunch of .png ... but how to import them | 09:29 |
| ep | How do I get this? I could drag one down from the kmenu, but alas there's not one to drag down. | 09:29 |
| dipnlik | mpmc: i used gtk-gnutella a long time ago, don't know if there is a good p2p program for kde | 09:29 |

| dmlinux | you can run limewire if you can get it to work | 09:31 |
| dipnlik | mpmc: all recommended programs are p2p in fact, but anyway. I used limewire on windows, probably it has a linux version, just don't know about repositories | 09:31 |
| mpmc | I hate limewire | 09:31 |
| nalioth | mpmc: gtk-gnutella is feature equivalent to limewire (and doesnt let the evil java suck your system to a crawl) | 09:32 |

| nalioth | Calilasseia: C is cross platform | 09:40 |
| Calilasseia | Only thing is, the Java development IDEs in Windows are a pain ... full of bugs, fall flat on their face all too often, so I thought I'd see if there was a Java IDE in Linux ... | 09:40 |
| nalioth | ubotu: tell Calilasseia about eclipse | 09:40 |
| === aseigo [n=aseigo@kde/aseigo] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| Calilasseia | Ah, true to an extent Nalioth ... but if I write the app in C, compile it for Wintel, I need to recompile for Mac or Linux ... | 09:41 |
| Calilasseia | Because Wintel, Mac and generic Liniux have different APIs and calling strategems ... | 09:42 |
| nalioth | Calilasseia: no. you let the end user compile it for himself | 09:42 |
| insanekane | Calilasseia: eclipse is pretty good ... i feel it is better for windows than Linux | 09:42 |
| Calilasseia | Kane, I had problems with Eclipse on Windows ... I downloaded it, installed it and it crashed on startup ... | 09:43 |
| insanekane | hrmm | 09:43 |
| Calilasseia | Hopefully the Linux version will behave better :) | 09:43 |
| insanekane | anyway, i find PyQt to be quite potent ... and also cross platform (and even more so with Qt4) | 09:43 |
| fujisan | I get this error Eject /dev/hdc failed! | 09:43 |
| Calilasseia | As for NetBeans, don't start me on the woes I've had with that - I could write a 50,000 word dissertation on the headaches that's caused ... | 09:44 |
| fujisan | nvm got it | 09:44 |
| fujisan | eject from mounted location only huh | 09:44 |
| insanekane | Calilasseia: with Java, i was always using Notepad ... but when I discovered eclipse, i loved it. sorry you couldnt use it. (netBeans i hated) | 09:44 |
| fujisan | so specific | 09:44 |
| fujisan | :/ | 09:44 |
| nalioth | Calilasseia: the only similarities between windows and linux is the hardware they both can run on | 09:44 |
| Calilasseia | I know Nalioth - that's why I was surprised about your saying C is cross platform ... if compilers exist for the two environments, it is to an extent ... | 09:45 |
| Calilasseia | But an app written for Wintel needs parts rewriting to make it work in Linux/KDE ... | 09:45 |
| dmlinux | eww i just got offered an interview for an Apple tech ... eek | 09:46 |
| Calilasseia | Whereas with Java, you write once, it works on everything (at least in theory) ... | 09:46 |
| insanekane | Calilasseia: try Qt/C++ ... on the latest Kubuntu CD, they have KOrganizer and Kontact working on Windows I believe | 09:46 |
| Calilasseia | However, I suspect I'll have fun putting that theory to the test ... | 09:46 |
| kkathman | dmlinux: lol could be ok tho | 09:46 |
| nalioth | Calilasseia: if you write for a posix compliant user group, it will compile on windows w/o too much trouble (if any) | 09:46 |
| nalioth | Calilasseia: if you write for windows, there's usually hell to pay to get it to run on *nix | 09:47 |
| dmlinux | kkathman oh i know :) i dont have any experience with mac tho | 09:47 |
| dmlinux | kkathman must not be that hard lol | 09:47 |
| dmlinux | kkathman i think this is funny, i kinda hate apple | 09:47 |
| Calilasseia | Right - so develop C apps on Linux first, then port them to Wintel is the relatively problem free strategem? Hmm, making notes ... | 09:47 |

| kkathman | Calilasseia: in general I doubt you can write any apps for Windows and have them cross platform to Linux | 09:48 |

| aseigo | Calilasseia: if you do it right with Qt, you can have a single code base and just recompile | 09:53 |
| kkathman | of course | 09:53 |
| aseigo | Calilasseia: about the only time you run into issues is when you wish to do something platform specific that isn't yet covered by qt (e.g. mimetype activation) | 09:53 |

| zyn | the GPL says that anyone that has access to your program must also have access to the source, and be able to freely redistribute it | 10:14 |
| zyn | insanekane: i have no idea... i work in development, not sales | 10:15 |
| Aapzak | and demands that anyone using this code must publish his code as GPL too, but that does not apply when you own the code probably | 10:15 |
| Aapzak | probab;y? appearantly :) | 10:15 |
| zyn | Aapzak: if you don't want to give away your source, then trolltech will happily sell you a commercial license that doesn't require you to do that | 10:15 |
| Aapzak | :) | 10:15 |
| zyn | right | 10:15 |
| zyn | of course, part of the license fee also includes support | 10:16 |
| zyn | which most of our customers renew every year | 10:16 |
| Aapzak | its a bit confusing, but it probably has got to do with the fact that Trolltech owns the code | 10:16 |
| zyn | yep | 10:16 |

| Fluffels | what do you wnat to know of Grub ? | 10:52 |
| Fluffels | TreeFrog ... ? | 10:53 |
| Treefrog | I have a collection of HDD. some IDe some SATA | 10:53 |
| _manveru | he is off in the www already | 10:53 |
| Treefrog | and I removed one | 10:53 |
| _manveru | uh | 10:53 |
| Fluffels | and ? | 10:53 |
| Treefrog | now GRUB is falling over when I boot from that SATA drive | 10:53 |
| _manveru | and you want it back? | 10:53 |
| Lord_Athur | tarheelcoxn, the apt-cache found nothing | 10:53 |
| Treefrog | my Kubuntu is no more in the land of living :-( | 10:54 |
| Fluffels | The one yu removed ? | 10:54 |
| Fluffels | What is your error | 10:54 |
| Treefrog | no the install of Kubuntu on the SATA that is still there | 10:54 |
| tarheelcoxn | Lord_Athur: one sec | 10:54 |
| Lord_Athur | oki | 10:54 |
| Fluffels | grub works with drive numbers : | 10:54 |
| Fluffels | (hd0,0) = First Hard Drive First Partition | 10:55 |
| Treefrog | error.. I have to go seea gain.. sorry.. but it is really early on in the boot. like first line or something.. was hoping to find a tool for GURB. Need to learn about GRUB and how to dance the GRUB dance.. | 10:55 |
| Treefrog | ya drive numbers.. | 10:55 |
| Fluffels | (hd1,6) = Second HDD 7th partition (/dev/hdb7) | 10:55 |
| Treefrog | take one out and the house of cards fall | 10:55 |
| Fluffels | So when grub starts... press esc to stop auto boot | 10:56 |
| Fluffels | then press c | 10:56 |
| Treefrog | K | 10:56 |
| Fluffels | this gives you command prompt | 10:56 |
| Fluffels | the type : | 10:56 |
| Treefrog | GRUB only comand prompt. ? | 10:56 |
| Fluffels | "root (hd <- Here command completion shows the new numbers) | 10:57 |
| Fluffels | Yes Grub command prompt, so it would need to be | 10:58 |
| Fluffels | root (hdx,y) | 10:58 |
| Fluffels | kernel (hdx,y)/boot/kenelname withParms... | 10:58 |
| Fluffels | hmmmm | 10:58 |
| Treefrog | I think I need to go read up a bit on it and see what is what. | 10:58 |
| Treefrog | humm | 10:58 |
| Fluffels | maybe root=(hdx,y) | 10:58 |
| Fluffels | well is Grub comming up or failing completely ? | 10:59 |
| _manveru | what was the command to get make and stuff on ubuntu? 'apt-get install buildutils' or something.... | 10:59 |
| Fluffels | Caus if it fails you might need to boot from CD and do grubinstlll | 10:59 |
| Treefrog | I dont have enough of a grasp of this to understand you.. GRUB is kicking off. it says something like Starting GRUB and then error.. not sure what | 10:59 |
| Fluffels | hmmmmmm | 11:00 |

| Juerd | Hazel: To discover that initng closed-mindedly only sets up networking for devices with "normal" names. | 11:30 |
| Juerd | It's multiverse, right? I thought there was no support for that. | 11:31 |

| Juerd | bye | 11:31 |
| Hentai-sama | hello | 11:33 |
| Hentai-sama | what the hell is 'backporting'? | 11:33 |
| eGaTS | agreed. bling is annoying. simplicity and efficiency are why i decided to switch to linux in the first place. | 11:34 |
| nalioth | Hentai-sama: it's programs from the upcoming release, back ported to work on the current release | 11:34 |
| === _avb [n=avb@81.25.39.80] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| Hentai-sama | i asked around if OOo2final was ever coming for ubuntu, instead of the v1.9.129 we have in the repos, and i was told it would get backported. | 11:35 |
| Hentai-sama | hm, but how does that work for us | 11:35 |
| nalioth | Hentai-sama: yes, wait a week or two (maybe more) | 11:35 |
| Hentai-sama | do i need to add a list of repository urls for backported apps? | 11:35 |
| Distro^Junkie | I installed kubuntu 5.04 how do I go about to update to the latest release ? | 11:36 |

| nalioth | Hentai-sama: when the time comes, yes | 11:37 |
| nalioth | Hentai-sama: right now, it will just cause errors | 11:37 |
| Hentai-sama | but if Drake is so far out, why should they backport current apps, instead of waiting until 1-2 weeks before the new version is released and then backport stuff | 11:38 |
| Hentai-sama | i'll be alien'ing OOo2's RPM's then | 11:38 |
| nalioth | Hentai-sama: they will not wait til then | 11:39 |

| Distro^Junkie | it will mess up your system more then anything | 11:40 |
| Hentai-sama | hm but even OOo's site has the tutorial for using the 'alien' command to convert formats | 11:41 |
| Hentai-sama | is it really that bad | 11:41 |
| nalioth | Hentai-sama: it is your box. do as you will. patience will be rewarded. | 11:42 |
| nalioth | and is oOo2 THAT much more then the oOo ? | 11:42 |

| === jsubl2 [n=jsubl2@72.48.95.220] has joined #kubuntu | ||

| _manveru | nah, that's not possible | 11:50 |
| ep | ok, back to plan A:) | 11:50 |
| _manveru | you need more than 5 buttons? ;) | 11:50 |
| ep | yes | 11:50 |
| Hentai-sama | _manveru its OOs icon size i need reducing, not kde's | 11:52 |
| === Chambers- [n=Thom@64.108.190.120] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| _manveru | there is no way you can resize your icons individual | 11:54 |
| _manveru | i'm not even sure if it would work with seperate kickers | 11:54 |
| Hentai-sama | i dont want to resize some icons, i want to resize ALL icons on ALL toolbars | 11:54 |
| Hentai-sama | damn it, in xp they were smaller | 11:54 |
| _manveru | oh, sorry | 11:54 |
| _manveru | i thought eps sentence belongs to you | 11:55 |
| _manveru | ok, it is easy | 11:56 |
| === puckman [n=gerard@dynamic-62-56-9-176.park-s46b.dslaccess.co.uk] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| _manveru | just go to kcontrol -> appearance -> (symbols||icons) -> second tab | 11:56 |
| _manveru | not sure about all the names of the menus because i am on a german system | 11:57 |
| === tenshiKur0 [n=tenshiKu@S0106000d93cb5211.vc.shawcable.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| _manveru | the name of the second tab should be 'extended' or something | 11:57 |
| _manveru | there you can say what icons should have where what size | 11:57 |
| Distro^Junkie | _manveru: how do I go about updating kubuntu ? I'm using 5.04 right now | 11:58 |

| Hentai-sama | because they updated | 11:59 |
| Hentai-sama | i think they recomend fresh installs, but im not sure | 11:59 |
| eGaTS | what's the easiest way to get kubuntu to file share and browse on a network of xp boxes? i can't make sense of the settings:/Network/. | 11:59 |
| _manveru | Distro^Junkie: apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:59 |
| Distro^Junkie | ok thanx _manveru | 12:00 |
| Distro^Junkie | do i need to change anything as far as it looking for breezy ? | 12:00 |
| _manveru | Distro^Junkie: but keep in mind what hentai says... because (k)ubuntu has some version-sensible areas | 12:00 |
