| jeroenvrp | what you do | 01:48 |
| owner | downloading from the repos will d/l all the dependencies | 01:48 |
| jeroenvrp | you remove the manual-deb and install (indeed owner) it from the repos, so all de dependencies are met | 01:48 |
| flipjarg | Yeah, i know about that. but i don't like that version | 01:48 |
| jeroenvrp | flipjarg: thats opk | 01:48 |

| flipjarg | oh | 01:49 |
| jeroenvrp | after you installed the ubuntu-package, you can upgrade it with your manual .deb | 01:49 |

I did what I could though. I downloaded their libIDL, and aliened it, I made sure I had all that gcc, pkgconfig, fontconfig, etc, and I get an error because (of what I believe is) the gtk files. Now, I am on Kubuntu, so I have to downloa | 01:59 |

| Aji-Dahaka | tututu: apt-get install <package name> | 02:49 |
| Aji-Dahaka | I think that's as automatic as it gets for that | 02:50 |
| tututu | nope | 02:50 |
| tututu | wellk i did right click, install | 02:50 |
| tututu | didn't run it from the cmd line | 02:50 |
| Nirvana | who was trying to install skype: read here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeHowto | 02:51 |
| tututu | thanks. | 02:51 |
| Nirvana | good ol' wiki | 02:51 |
| Aji-Dahaka | ooh, fancy | 02:51 |
| tututu | thanks a lot | 02:51 |
| Aji-Dahaka | I don't see why it's doing this ... how is it gettitg the idea that it's Alt and not Win? | 02:52 |
| Nirvana | why, what does the win key do? | 02:53 |
| Aji-Dahaka | well, I go to the shortcut thing to bind it, press the "win" key, says Win, press the other key (like X) and it'll say Alt+X | 02:54 |
| Aji-Dahaka | broken behaviour as X is reporting it as Super_R on press and release ... | 02:54 |

| starhawk | ok what do I do with this (./configure) | 03:32 |
| starhawk | do I put the file name with it or what | 03:32 |

| Hobbsee | sean_micken: you can get it on breezy | 03:33 |
| starhawk | ok then how dose it know what to configure | 03:33 |
| Hobbsee | Nirvana: hehe, sounds like you should clean your keyboard! | 03:34 |
| Nirvana | sean_micken: type this (in Konsole): wget http://people.ubuntu.com/~jriddell/kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg | 03:34 |

| shmeebegek | how long should "modprobe" take? | 03:35 |
| Nirvana | * deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde351 breezy main | 03:35 |

| Nirvana | copy those into /etc/apt/sources.list, but delete the * | 03:35 |
| Hobbsee | you'll only need one repo, not all of those | 03:36 |
| Hobbsee | they're mirrors | 03:36 |
| shmeebegek | just an order of magnitude? seconds, minutes? | 03:36 |
| Nirvana | ^^ beat me to it | 03:36 |
| Nirvana | sheebegek: depends on system | 03:36 |
| shmeebegek | Nirvana: Kernel 2.6.12, Kubuntu... | 03:36 |
| Nirvana | sheebegek: faster system = faster compiling | 03:36 |
| shmeebegek | Nirvana: The driver is ZyDAS 1211 | 03:36 |
| shmeebegek | Nirvana: Ah, P4 3.2Ghz | 03:36 |
| Nirvana | just let it go | 03:36 |
| Nirvana | bah, p4... | 03:37 |
| shmeebegek | I am, but I'm just wanting to know how long it will take before I might suspect that it has locked up | 03:37 |
| Nirvana | p3 700Mhz > p4 3.2Ghz | 03:37 |
| shmeebegek | hey I got this laptop for $1000, a deal that I couldn't refuse | 03:37 |
| shmeebegek | it has a 17.1" screen | 03:37 |
| shmeebegek | :) | 03:37 |
| sean_micken | Nirvana: i don't need all of those mirrors, do i? | 03:37 |
| Nirvana | no | 03:37 |
| sean_micken | Nirvana: also, can you tell me how to get nvidia driver installed? | 03:37 |
| Nirvana | https://wiki.ubuntu.com > search nvidia and click text not titles | 03:38 |
| shmeebegek | what exactly does modprobe do though? does it actually start the module? | 03:38 |
| Nirvana | sheebegek: lol, nice and, yes, compiling does take a long time, and it has not frozen | 03:38 |
| shmeebegek | I've had lockups with (the Windows version of) this driver | 03:38 |
| shmeebegek | Nirvana: Well I already compiled, it does further compiling on modprobe? | 03:38 |
| Nirvana | maybe | 03:39 |
| shmeebegek | Nirvana: I'm just wondering, am relatively new to Linux | 03:39 |
| Nirvana | same | 03:39 |
| Nirvana | well | 03:39 |
| Nirvana | 3 months.. | 03:39 |
| shmeebegek | also I'm wondering how I only have 6MB of RAM free | 03:39 |
| shmeebegek | when I have 512MB of RAM | 03:39 |
| shmeebegek | :-/ | 03:39 |
| shmeebegek | and in "top", I see nothing using a lot of memory | 03:39 |
| shmeebegek | highest thing is using 4% | 03:39 |
| Nirvana | mod probe = kernel modules = lots o' memory | 03:40 |
| shmeebegek | has been like this every time I've checked | 03:40 |
| Nirvana | you can read here: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-howto/c1605.htm | 03:40 |
| shmeebegek | but I'll check it again when modprobe ends | 03:40 |
| Nirvana | that said, YIPEE, I am downloading kde 3.5.1....hopefully the desktop bug was fixed... | 03:41 |
| shmeebegek | also, is there a shortcut key to switch tabs in Kubuntu? on Windows it is ctrl+tab | 03:41 |
| zorba64 | shmeebegek, is probably cached for later use | 03:41 |

| Nirvana | did you modify the /boot/grub/menu.lst (sorry I can't open the link, I'm d/ling kde 3.5.1) In this case, open konqueror and check to see if you have a menu.lst~, and just restore that | 04:04 |
| === kb [n=kb@host-217-176-230-24.midco.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| Nirvana | or, you can apt-get update && apt-get upgrade to try to fix it... | 04:05 |
| Bicchi | When I move any window on the desktop there apears to be a long shadow that trails back to the original location. I have 1GB of ram and a fast cpu. What could this be. | 04:05 |
| kb | Nirvana... Just wanted to thank you again. that site was exactly what I needed. 8) | 04:05 |
| cgentry72 | apt-get update and apt-get upgrade? | 04:05 |
| cgentry72 | i did that but haven't rebooted yet to see if it worked | 04:05 |
| Nirvana | you could try (I'm sorry I can't visit the site to be more helpful) | 04:06 |
| cgentry72 | also how do i remove older kernels? | 04:06 |
| Nirvana | cgentry > it is not wise to, but if you must know | 04:06 |
| Nirvana | open a konsole, and cd / | 04:07 |
| Nirvana | now ls -all and look for someline like vmlinuz.old and initrd.old | 04:07 |
| cgentry72 | everything looks fine in the /boot/grub/menu.lst | 04:08 |
| cgentry72 | it goes through the grub boot and then it just stalls unless i pick an older kernel | 04:08 |
| Nirvana | god,I wish the page would just load... | 04:08 |
| Nirvana | what error do you get? | 04:08 |
| cgentry72 | on kde-look it says this: 1) Move the file to /usr/lib/usplash. | 04:09 |
| cgentry72 | 2) $ sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/usplash/kubuntucrystal-splash.so /usr/lib/usplash/usplash-artwork.so | 04:09 |
| cgentry72 | 3) $ sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-$(uname -r) | 04:09 |
| cgentry72 | 4) Reboot and look. | 04:09 |
| cgentry72 | step 3 is probably the problem | 04:09 |
| sean_micken | did the packagers not including xinerama support in the kde packages? | 04:09 |
| sean_micken | i don't see the xinerama options in my desktop settings | 04:09 |
| Nirvana | maybe when you reconfigured, something went wrong? | 04:10 |

| Nirvana | GameOver69: what is dc++ (I have no working internet connection right now, and can't google/look at web pages, but I would like to help) | 04:27 |
| callie | WOW! not using any vfat drives has halved my usage of ram | 04:28 |
| callie | freaking hell! | 04:28 |
| MadRush | hmm | 04:28 |
| MadRush | that bothers me heh | 04:28 |
| Nirvana | also is the linux version buggy as in it crashes, or buggy as in it won't start | 04:28 |
| MadRush | gives me all the more reason to want to format my new drive in ext3 | 04:28 |
| callie | ext3 certainly operates a lot faster under linux too | 04:29 |
| callie | as you'd expect | 04:29 |

| tecs | just wondering will ubuntu detect components on a very ol;d machine.? im planning to revive a p166 64 mb ram 5 gig hd that has been stuck for years. but is working im going to replace the hard drive though... i mean its a p166:) | 05:12 |
| michael | umm, when you run glxgears where do the fps show up??? | 05:13 |
| Nirvana | cgentry72: now look for the part that says "title Ubuntu kernel 2.6.12-10-386" and "title Ubuntu kernel 2.6.12-10-386 (recovery mode)" -> just delete the whole section, from title to boot, and leave the three sections that have "Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-9-386" and "Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-9-386 (recovery mode)" and of course "memtest86+" | 05:13 |
| Nirvana | tecs: yes | 05:14 |
| cgentry72 | ok | 05:14 |
| Nirvana | michael: look for the command switch, usually they tell you how to make the fps show | 05:14 |

| GameOver69 | nirvana... thanks | 05:16 |
| Nirvana | cgentry72: should be Ubuntu, kernel 2.6.12-9-386 | 05:16 |

| michael | well good news! installing k7 linux headers & nvidia drivers (from nvidia's site) fixed xmms, amarok, and kaffeine refusals to function... all is working now after those 2 changes... i suspect it was making my kernel k7 rather than 386 that did it but i'm not sure! | 05:26 |
| tecs | well i went to the /usr/games and i saw the game exe there. a lot of them but about 40% of the games wont even load | 05:26 |
| gamma | Peolo2: is that after installing firefox yourself? | 05:26 |

| cgentry72 | got it, i'll try that | 05:28 |
| cgentry72 | then what do i need to do | 05:28 |
| Peolo2 | ./firefox | 05:28 |
| Peolo2 | when i do | 05:28 |
| Nirvana | Peolo2: that is the hard way | 05:28 |

| tecs | imho suse detects more hardware than ubuntu, so perhaps thats why he is offering suse to new users like me. but suse wont work on mine ehhehe | 05:29 |

| tecs | kde | 05:50 |

| sampan | you didn't really understand my point (you're still thinking in terms of labels in a book). but it's all off-topic so i'll drop it. point of it is: ff deals with characer encoding well and konq doesn't -- so there are GOOD reasons for some people to use ff and not konq. :) | 06:52 |

| lunitik | Any chance of a meta-package that uses koffice instead of openoffice, but keeps everything else the same... | 08:21 |
| lunitik | say 'kubuntu-desktop-alt' or something? | 08:21 |

| Tainted | Nothing else. | 01:49 |
| auturge | It looks like your kernel has completely failed to detect the presence of any hard drives. | 01:49 |
| Tainted | Eh, how to fix it? :) | 01:49 |
| kosh | that is impressive | 01:50 |
| Tainted | Its not 'absolutely needed' to go back, I would be fine with a restore if it had Dapper. | 01:51 |
| Tainted | kosh, Why? | 01:51 |
| kosh | what kind of hard drives do you have? | 01:51 |
| Tainted | Uhh... | 01:51 |
| Tainted | Not sure. | 01:51 |
| kosh | well because linux should detect nearly every ide, sata and scsi drive system ever available | 01:51 |
| Tainted | It was before. | 01:51 |
| Tainted | I tried to dist-upgrade to dapper. | 01:51 |
| auturge | Tainted - if it were my box, I would be rebooting recovery and very carefully watching the boot messages for errors that could shed light on the situation. | 01:51 |
| kosh | ah I see | 01:51 |
| auturge | What kernel do you have now? | 01:52 |
| kosh | I bet your system did not load the initrd image | 01:52 |
| kosh | and without that it can't find the harddrives | 01:52 |
| auturge | Could be. | 01:52 |
| Tainted | auturge, Not sure the exact numbers, but it has the number 15 changed. | 01:52 |
| auturge | Have a look at your /boot/grub/menu.lst | 01:52 |
| auturge | In that file you'll see the name of the initrd file it is looking for - does that file exist? | 01:52 |
| kosh | there should be an initrd line in it | 01:52 |
| kosh | and does the file name make sense? | 01:52 |
| kosh | ie you don't have an initrd for kernel 2.4 paired with a 2.6.15 kernel | 01:53 |
| kosh | just a bsaic sanity check type deal | 01:53 |
| auturge | Yeah - the initrd file should have the same version number as the associated vmlinuz file. | 01:53 |
| Tainted | I cant see the menu.lst....I would have to boot into windows and then use explore2fs.... | 01:54 |

| trekkor | anybody here know the difference between a "MiB" and a "MB" and between a "GiB" and a "GB", when measuring multiples of bytes? | 03:09 |
| auturge | Yes. | 03:11 |
| kosh | yup | 03:11 |
| auturge | MiB and GiB are mebibytes and gibibytes. | 03:11 |
| kosh | MB is 1000KB while MiB is 1024KiB | 03:12 |
| kosh | they decided to redefine things | 03:12 |
| auturge | Those are the power-of-two numbers. 1 KiB = 1024, etc. | 03:12 |
| auturge | Not precisely, kosh... | 03:12 |
| kosh | what is not precisely? | 03:12 |
| auturge | The hard drive makers, years ago, redefined GB (to their benefit) as powers of ten instead of powers of two. | 03:12 |
| auturge | Thus giving rise to the confusion between "which of kind of GB do you mean" for all these years. | 03:12 |
| === cherusker [n=diablo@p549AC975.dip0.t-ipconnect.de] has left #kubuntu ["Und] | ||
| auturge | So *bibytes were invented to try to clear it all up. | 03:13 |
| auturge | Mebibytes etc are official SI units. | 03:13 |
| kosh | yes however for a very long time KB, MB, GB etc all had a power of 2 meaning in computers | 03:14 |
| kosh | however because of the hard drive makers an offcial SI unit was made | 03:14 |
| auturge | And looked at from a non-computer-centric perspective, saying that a megabyte is 1000000 rather than 2^20=1048576 is absolutely correct, because mega- is an SI unit with a long established meaning. | 03:14 |
| kosh | I know it makes sense | 03:14 |
| === brosioz [n=brosioz@host172-94.pool80180.interbusiness.it] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| auturge | I'm just saying.. really, the only redefinition was when the hard drive makers insisted a megabyte is 10^6. | 03:15 |
| howcomes | "Designing for 90% of browsers is our policy? Here's a question. If I answered 10% of the sales calls with 'Hello [companyname] , could you please fuck off"', how would that affect our sales?" | 03:15 |
| === _kaenat is now known as kaenat | ||
| auturge | As far as the SI are concerned, 10^6 was correct all along and the new mebi- &c. were invented anew for the convenience of the computer world. | 03:16 |
| kosh | however it seems strange that hard drive makers where the only ones that insisted on that | 03:17 |
| auturge | It was entirely self-interested. | 03:17 |
| kosh | if you check ram chips it still says 1GB etc | 03:17 |
| auturge | It allowed them to advertise larger capacity numbers for the same drive. | 03:17 |

| auturge | 100 GiB is 107 GB. The difference between 100 and 107 GB on a hard drive box for free gives your marketers wet dreams. | 03:20 |
| auturge | But 1 MiB is 1.048576 MB. | 03:20 |
| auturge | 1.048576 just doesn't quite have the same marketing impact. | 03:20 |
| kosh | I don't see how it matters much when you can buy 500GB hard drives | 03:21 |
| kosh | not like the small difference should matter | 03:21 |
| MadRush | small difference? | 03:21 |
| auturge | One breaks the logjam, everyone else has to pile in. | 03:21 |
| kosh | yup | 03:21 |
| MadRush | with 500gb i dont think its too small | 03:21 |
| auturge | Once the first hard drive manufacturer realised they could make their 100MB hard drive look 7% better *absolutely free of charge* and did so, everyone else had to do the same thing to keep up. | 03:22 |
| kosh | I sitll wonder why the ram makers never did it | 03:22 |
| auturge | Simple. | 03:22 |
| kosh | when 128M chips where considered larger they didn't do that | 03:22 |
| MadRush | the ram makers did it with speed | 03:22 |
| auturge | The larger the numbers you are dealing with, the larger the difference between GiB and GB. | 03:22 |
| kosh | they could have marked them as 131M chips | 03:22 |
| auturge | When you're talking about megabytes, the difference is just too small to be worth making that initial leap. | 03:22 |
| kosh | remember the hard drive makers did it with 300M drives | 03:23 |

| kosh | MadRush: how did the ram makers do it with speed? | 03:23 |
| djib | I installed cedega and it tells me that I don't have 3D acceleration | 03:23 |
| MadRush | the ram makers say ddr400 which is really 266mhz | 03:23 |
| djib | I use to know a command to display 3D info | 03:23 |
| auturge | The hard drive manufacturers have another factor in their favour. | 03:24 |
| djib | would any one of you happen to know what it is ? | 03:24 |
| auturge | We all know that OSes still display everything in powers of two, right? Regardless of what your hard drive manufacturer says, the size is reported by the system as GiB. | 03:24 |
| auturge | But everybody knows that the actual usable size you get from a hard drive is significantly lower than the raw capacity due to overheads. | 03:24 |
| MadRush | i have a '250gb' drive that is really like 215gb | 03:24 |
| auturge | Everybody *expects* the reported number to be smaller than what's on the tin. | 03:24 |
| MadRush | thats a big difference | 03:24 |
| auturge | That doesn't happen with RAM - if manufacturers started diddling the numbers, people *would* notice. | 03:25 |
| MadRush | i dont think so | 03:25 |
| auturge | But with a hard drive, you never really know what number you should expect the operating system to ultimately display for free space in the first place. | 03:25 |
| MadRush | when you see a system that has shared memory for video you see non standard ram numbers | 03:25 |
| MadRush | ah it could be calculated | 03:26 |
| auturge | Sure, but that's obvious and expected. | 03:26 |
| auturge | You still have two numbers that add up to something well-defined and predictable. | 03:26 |
| MadRush | not obvious to somebody who's not a computer geek | 03:26 |

| auturge | I mean really - if you stick a "500GB" drive in your machine, do you know beyond a *very* vague, general idea what free space you're going to end up seeing? | 03:26 |
| MadRush | :P | 03:26 |
| auturge | No. You don't. You just have some notion of what the order of magnitude should be. | 03:27 |
| djib | yes but I don't get any output when I do glxgears howcomes | 03:27 |
| MadRush | yeah but with a 30gb drive you know its pretty close to 30gb | 03:27 |
| djib | I know there was something like glxgears --glxgearsisnotabenchmarkingtool | 03:27 |
| auturge | You don't have some specific number that you *know* should show up. With RAM, you always do. | 03:27 |
| MadRush | its only off by 3gb or so | 03:27 |
| kosh | heck I don't need that big of a drive but on my new system it has SATA 2 support so I want a SATA 2 drive and what I found was 500GB hitachi that will work nicely | 03:27 |

| auturge | Does KDE handle multiple displays sanely independent of Xinerama? | 03:34 |
| kosh | I only pay a small attention to hard drive sizes | 03:34 |
| MadRush | if your processor was a big difference im sure that would never fly | 03:34 |
| kosh | MadRush: huh? | 03:34 |
| auturge | Yeah, actually, processor speeds should be given in gibihertz... | 03:34 |
| auturge | GiHz? | 03:34 |
| kosh | auturge: well if you run the displays indepedently then they are seperate x servers, kde handles it fine but it does not make much sense | 03:35 |
| MadRush | if intel sold a 2.8ghz chip as 3.2 im sure there would be a big shit storm over it | 03:35 |

| MadRush | obfuscating the specs | 03:38 |

| MadRush | i dont know about you but speed is the first thing im interested in when buying a proc, then cache, then buzzwords | 03:40 |

| kosh | trekkor: the point is that if your drive is larger then you care about why does it matter how much larger? | 03:40 |
| auturge | This is not to say that their new naming scheme is necessarily any better, but.. the importance of the raw clock speed is fading fast. | 03:40 |
| === mars [n=mars@80.51.47.246] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| MadRush | yes, i agree aururge about the clock speed | 03:41 |
| MadRush | but i still like to see it, especially for the kind of processors i deal with most frequently | 03:41 |
| kosh | the opteron naming scheme is fine I think, it is useful to know more information about the processor and you can easily see the gigahertz etc information | 03:41 |
| trekkor | auturge: thank you very much for the explanation (and sorry, i was afk) | 03:42 |
| MadRush | depending on the project i might consider heat reputation to be more important than buzzwords | 03:42 |

| auturge | I consider heat dissipation more important for *all* projects. | 03:42 |
| MadRush | if youve ever dealt with a higher end 775 intel chip you may know they generate a lotta heat | 03:42 |
| kosh | well I am going for amd chips | 03:42 |
| MadRush | well, i just bought a amd64 3000 and heat wasnt a consideration, and it happens that this one isnt very hot | 03:43 |
| kosh | since the system I am looking at getting will have 8G of ram | 03:43 |
| MadRush | but if i was going to put this in a pvr i might consider using this chip over a intel 2.5 or something | 03:43 |
| kosh | and intel does not have a chip that is really competitive for that | 03:43 |
| auturge | My next PVR will be Sonoma or Yonah. | 03:43 |

| trekkor | kosh: i think you still don't understand what i was saying; to keep it simple, i would suggest that you replace your "trekkor: if you have more space then you possibly need then does it matter how much LARGER it is?" with "trekkor: if you have more space then you possibly need then does it matter how much SMALLER it is?"

| trekkor | MadRush: anyhow, a "how much larger [they say] it is" would be such an easy way to disambiguate it, that i have all the rights in the world not to feel kosh's remark as being ambiguous (= working either way). so i pretty much had the right to interpret it as meaning "how much larger it [actually|really] is"). do you agree? :) | 04:02 |

I don't recall having heard from you on this channel, so it's unlikely anyone here cares when you come and go. on busy channels it's unnecessary chatter and on slow channels it trips people's activity flags. basically it's bad netiquette and the world would be a better place if irc clients didn't do it | 04:53 |
| dark_suic | u checked kopete and the accounts config? | 04:53 |
| Vampis | Yepp, one moment it worked another not | 04:53 |
| trappist | orion_fr_24: the irc protocol allows for away status, which can be queried by people who *do* care when you get up from the computer or fail to move the mouse for a while. | 04:54 |
| Vampis | so i removed the kopete files under home/vampis/.kde/share/apps/ | 04:54 |
| dark_suic | u closed and opened it again? | 04:54 |
| Vampis | and then removed kopete and installed it again | 04:54 |
| Vampis | added the accounts | 04:54 |
| Vampis | and same problem | 04:54 |
| dark_suic | ok | 04:54 |

| djk_ | yellowdart: all that needs to be detected is a printer and once in a while an external cd-drive. but they're usually connected before the laptop is powered on, thus there's no need for the hotplug subsystem. | 06:21 |

| nat | do you understand my problem Bill ? | 07:13 |
| Bill | So either you have a problem with the way the CD device is handled by the Kubuntu software, or you have a hardware problem, | 07:13 |
| nat | no I'm sure that it's kubuntu software the problem | 07:14 |
| Bill | OK, do you have another CD in any other PC around you, or in a box of old PC components ? | 07:15 |
| Bill | Its pretty easy to swap out a CD and test if the hardware is giving you the problem. | 07:15 |
| nat | no... I ve only this one it's a laptop | 07:15 |

| Bill | When you boot the laptop and try to boot from the CD, does it doe the right sort of thing and read files from the CD. It's difficult to test this because you said you don't have any LiveCD's with you. | 07:17 |
| Bill | Maybe you have some other CD that is bootable ? That vould test if the CD hardware reads OK when the BIOS tells it what to do. | 07:18 |

| Bill | OK, so it will boot ok, but after you boot Kubuntu from what is installed on your harddrive, it doesn't make the CD hardware do the right thing. Is that a good summary ? | 07:19 |

| frank23 | I don't understand what you said | 09:11 |
| DxOffEagle | frank23: well, here is an example: in 3.0(?), a bit after the release, someone did a bugfix to fix a really minor bug in bookmarks toolbar in right-to-left desktops | 09:11 |
| ClayG | anyone know a good lightweight web browser that supports https? | 09:12 |
| DxOffEagle | frank23: unfortunately, that activated a latent bug. The net results is that people who had two bookmarks pointing to the same webpage would get lots of crashes | 09:12 |
| DxOffEagle | frank23: the day after release, tons of people reported it. | 09:12 |
| frank23 | DxOffEagle: you mean minor releases can still introduce bad bugs... | 09:13 |
| DxOffEagle | frank23: and why wasn't it caught before? well, 3.0 was held up due to a security audit, so most people's main installs were 3.1 work branch, and 3.0 was usually tested in ... separate user accounts | 09:13 |
| DxOffEagle | frank23: and test accounts generally don't have bookmarks, period. | 09:13 |
| DxOffEagle | frank23: I mean that bugfixes can introduce other bugs, which go undiscovered until the day after release. | 09:14 |

| sampan | <-- making excuses for myself | 10:38 |
| sampan | ;X | 10:38 |
| snapy | I just wonder if I would be affected by this bug as well | 10:39 |
| snapy | if I have downloaded the ISO from kubuntu.org in november, should this bug already be fixed in the .iso? | 10:39 |
| sampan | if you haven't updated and you're experiencing weird su failures or administrator mode not functioning, then yes you'd be affected. the .iso hasn't changed, so all .iso's have the bug (but it doesn't seem to affect every system) | 10:40 |

| snapy | ok, so, so good for me :) | 10:41 |
| snapy | alex79: before doing the upgrade just check that sudo works in the X konsole | 10:41 |

| sampan | http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8681#c59 <--- i think that's the bugreport | 10:42 |
| snapy | ok sampan, I going to do look it fast, alex79, i'll be back in a minute | 10:42 |
| sampan | alex79 you -can- do the update, but probably easiest to do from cli (the bug only affected gui stuff i think) | 10:42 |

| alex79 | yes | 10:44 |
| snapy | if you managed to change the /etc/networks file, this means that you arrived to be root, didn't you? | 10:45 |
| alex79 | yes | 10:45 |
