| erhan_R | and it opens kwrite hmm | 02:06 |
| Tallia1Kubuntu | erhan_R: ok i just fixed the conqueror one | 02:06 |
| Tallia1Kubuntu | it was because html was associated in kcontrol with kwrite | 02:06 |

| robotgeek | </evil Dr. evil laughter> | 03:36 |
| blt | Oh. No, those won't put anyone out of business. Compilers are pretty much the same thing, assuming you spend all of your time writing assembler. People will just end up doing neater things, not wasting their time writing tedious code. | 03:36 |
| blt | Programmer time is expensive and precious. | 03:37 |
| __mikem | I know, but I hear these stories about these technologies where people created FULLY FUNCTIONAL apps with this tool where all they did was drag and drop a few things | 03:37 |
| __mikem | I can't stand the thought of these no tallent guys with a WYSIWYG taking credit for apps they didn't really write | 03:38 |
| blt | Right, but those tend to be rather bland applications anyway that do pretty much the same thing everyone else is doing, at least the drag and drop stuff. | 03:39 |
| __mikem | Yeh, but its tools like those that are truely EVIL, even more so than TPS reports | 03:39 |
| Nomad411 | robotgeek: Installing kafeine | 03:39 |
| __mikem | People drag and drop, maybe write a few "event handlers" and think they are all that | 03:40 |
| __mikem | when the code they bearly even looked at compiles | 03:40 |
| Red_Herring | hey | 03:41 |
| blt | I wouldn't say they're evil. Automation is a splendid thing that tends to free creative people up, allowing them to make newer, neater things. People who think they're all that and a bag of chips for dragging and dropping are always going to exist, in one form or another. | 03:41 |
| Red_Herring | i write a nice ttt java prog | 03:41 |
| Red_Herring | anyone care to look? | 03:41 |
| __mikem | yeh, true, but it just makes me so mad, especially after all the hard work I did learning C++, Assembly, and other languages where a WYSIWYG and anything of the sort has no place | 03:42 |
| Nomad411 | robotgeek: seems kafeine will not play any of the video formats I have | 03:42 |
| Nomad411 | and it complains of missing alsa-sink when starting? | 03:42 |
| LjL | RAD tools are useful __mikem. they're just not the same thing as a plain text editor and compiler, which still have their very important place in my opinion | 03:43 |
| dev_nu11 | I'm trying to find the file that runs when a machine boots up, is /etc/mkinitrd the right file? | 03:43 |
| robotgeek | Nomad411: better install kaffeine-xine | 03:44 |
| Nomad411 | ok | 03:44 |
| LjL | everything has its place, there are cases where you need a RAD tool, and cases where you just sit down and write code. the only sad thing is that these cases often get mixed up by people who know no better | 03:44 |
| robotgeek | dev_nu11: why are you doing that? | 03:44 |
| __mikem | thanks, I have no problem with rad tools, but when some vb programmer thinks they can presume to claim to tell me how to do my job, I just can't stand it | 03:44 |
| blt | I understand that, but you're probably a better coder for the hard work. The trick is, though, if they end up doing neater things who ends up coming out on top, add more. Sure, slashcode could have been written as an assembler language application, but there was no reason to do so. In the same vein, sometimes it's nice to have tedious code plunked down for you. | 03:44 |

| dev_nu11 | so everything in init.d gets run | 03:46 |
| dev_nu11 | that sounds like what I need | 03:46 |
| blt | Why do you want everything in init.d to run? | 03:46 |
| LjL | dev_nu11: no, not until you use update-rc.d to tell it how and when to run | 03:46 |
| dev_nu11 | ok, i'll read up on that, thanks | 03:46 |
| LjL | dev_nu11: also, scripts in /etc/init.d should have a specific format, namely they should accept "start", "stop" and "restart" as arguments | 03:46 |
| Nomad411 | robotgeek: Nope, alsa-sink is still an issue.. I installed kaffeine-xine | 03:47 |
| blt | __mikem: Arrogant people are usually those that shouldn't be. It's a sad fact of life. VB/RoR/$FOO jerks will happen, but that doesn't mean their tools are bad. | 03:47 |

| LjL | __mikem: yeah but APIs become more and more complicated, to the point where programming in C now is probably becoming as difficuly as was programming in assembler 20 years ago | 03:51 |
| robotgeek | __mikem: no clue, his ban time expired :) | 03:51 |
| __mikem | oh, | 03:51 |
| LjL | __mikem: i mean of course programming applications that have GUIs or some other complex interface to some toolkit, of course, a plain ANSI C console application will stay the same as it was 20 years ago | 03:52 |

| LjL | in=i | 03:55 |
| __mikem | We don't need more ram than we did then, back then we could only have up to 64 megs | 03:55 |
| __mikem | so we were kind of stuck writing software wthat was more conservative or resources | 03:55 |
| LjL | but apparently, we do need it, otherwise our programs grind to a halt | 03:55 |
| __mikem | yup | 03:55 |
| LjL | well i think it's only partially a problem of resource sparing | 03:56 |
| LjL | that's part of the problem, but another part of it is layering... today, we basically use the same operating systems, interfaces and stuff that we used 10 years ago. except they are now version 3294 | 03:56 |
| __mikem | THe problem is, microsoft is trying to keep the newer versions of windows compatible with older versions of windows | 03:57 |
| LjL | which means layers over layers of compatibility, ugly patches around bugs, and so on have accumulated | 03:57 |
| __mikem | the win32 api is litered with examples of this | 03:57 |
| __mikem | for example "hinstance" | 03:57 |
| LjL | i don't think that's just a problem with MS, though i'll grant they're particularly "good" at it | 03:58 |
| __mikem | which is usually 0x00400000 for executable images | 03:58 |

| LjL | kosh: i could do this with *1* meg of RAM. and yes, it did multitask fairly nicely | 04:01 |
| kosh | LjL: run the versions from 10 years ago with the same size datasets then | 04:02 |
| __mikem | that would be interesting if we could get that legacy code to run | 04:02 |
| kosh | LjL: kword, abiword, gnome, kde etc are in no way comparable to the software of 10 years ago | 04:02 |
| blt | __mikem: Why that metric, a well written w32 C app? It seems rather arbitrary. | 04:03 |
| LjL | kosh: except that most of the things they did are the same things that i do now. perhaps we can call that features bloat? | 04:03 |
| kosh | fine you can call the features bloat | 04:03 |
| kosh | since I use the features I won't call them bloat | 04:03 |
| __mikem | Yes, but I am not to teribly specific with the speed of an app, but I don't want to see more tools with the poor performance of vb6 | 04:04 |
| kosh | no software from 10 years ago that I ever found did url transparency, kde does and it saves me a massive ammount of time | 04:04 |
| LjL | kosh: with that metric, software will get infinitely bloated. for *any* given possible feature, you will find at least one user who'll make use of it | 04:04 |
| kosh | the language has very little to do with how fast the actual software runs | 04:04 |
| LjL | kosh: url transparency? | 04:04 |
| __mikem | no, but the design of the compiler will kosh | 04:05 |
| kosh | I have written stuff in bash that ran faster then a c++ program | 04:05 |
| kosh | most of the speed of the program is in the design of the program | 04:05 |
| __mikem | will, for trivial tasks, thats to be expected | 04:05 |
| kosh | not in the speed that it compiles to | 04:05 |
| __mikem | especially from the overhead of initialization | 04:05 |
| blt | I agree with kosh. Human time is expensive, hardware is not. Let features come in if it saves time. Also, he's entirely correct, again, about design being the most important aspect toward speed. | 04:05 |
| LjL | kosh: that's correct of course. and i claim that current software design basically stinks compared to N years ago | 04:05 |
| __mikem | which is where most of the lag comes form | 04:05 |
| kosh | for almost every task I have run into I have been able to write software in python that was written faster, ran faster and had far fewer bugs then the equiv c++ version | 04:05 |
| __mikem | well, python (I have never used it) from what I hear is a good language | 04:06 |
| __mikem | I will probably learn it when I get a chance | 04:06 |
| kosh | LjL: url transparency in kde means from any file open/save dialog box I have use sftp, ftp, http, https, webdav, webdavs etc etc to load and save | 04:06 |
| LjL | kosh: that's good. but then why doesn't that happen normally? *that*'s the whole point | 04:06 |

| robotgeek | bimberi: here is at work | 04:06 |
| __mikem | brb | 04:06 |
| kosh | LjL: most c++ apps run darn slow, most c ones do also | 04:06 |
| LjL | kosh: oh, yes, i could definitely do that 10 years ago. though i just had FTP and HTTP among the ones you mentioned | 04:06 |
| robotgeek | he, err | 04:06 |
| blt | Python is a great language, but it runs much more "slowly" that a C app. But the language allows for more clear design, with fewer bugs. | 04:07 |
| kosh | LjL: so from any application you used you could open and save to those resources transparently? | 04:07 |
| LjL | kosh: yes | 04:07 |
| bimberi | robotgeek: yeah i know - just trying anything i can think of :/ | 04:07 |
| robotgeek | he fixed it, i guess | 04:07 |

| kosh | blt: the speed of a language has very little to do with the speed of the program in most cases that I have run into | 04:08 |
| LjL | kosh: also, that wasn't specific to the "desktop environment" like it is now in KDE. it was part of the filing system | 04:08 |
| kosh | blt: for example while python may be a slower language if you are dealingwith images then the odds are most of the running time of the software will be in the image code which you will offload to a nice optimized library that lots of other software uses | 04:09 |
| __mikem | the language has nothing to do with it, its the assembly the compiler generates, and the quality of the code | 04:09 |

| __mikem | good night blt | 04:14 |
| LjL | kosh: really, this brings to my mind another point concerting excessive layering... though not API layering this time, but filesystem layering. why do i have a filesystem in my OS, and then my KDE (or Gnome for that matter) superimposes *another* thing which looks and smells like a filesystem, but isn't quite a filesystem, and is different from the real filesystem? (and only works with KDE apps) | 04:14 |
| LjL | kosh: i even read people *advocating* filesystem hiding. that's just crazy, why not just make a good-looking filesystem hierarchy in the first place? | 04:15 |
| LjL | kosh: the answer is easy of course: tradition and backwards compatibility | 04:15 |
| LjL | kosh: precisely the same thing that, i think, ruins APIs | 04:15 |

| thompa | !amarok | 04:18 |
| LjL | kosh: fine, but this way KDE takes up some (or many) of the functions of an operating system as well, which wasn't was KDE was intended to be. it all becomes a mess, with duplication of roles, duplication of features, and inconsistencies that are very apparent to the user | 04:18 |
| ubotu | amarok is, like, a music player for Linux and Unix with an intuitive interface. See http://amarok.kde.org ; amaroK's features: http://amarok.kde.org/content/view/51/1/ | 04:18 |

| __mikem | I can't finish that pun, two painful | 04:21 |
| LjL | guess so | 04:21 |
| kosh | LjL: both of them developed a vfs layer since the systems they ran on did not have a common vfs layer, it makes portability far easier, the plan now is to work on merging the vfs layers they use into a common library | 04:21 |

| julian | hey everybody | 04:23 |
| LjL | kosh: but, really, i don't think it has been done all that well (but then again, perhaps i was too used to amigaos ;) -- for example, in Amarok, i cannot use a Samba share as my collection directory. why? any user will try, fail, and wonder why all his life | 04:23 |
| kosh | __mikem: some problems are fixed by hardware, if you need to work with a large db no ammount of optimization will make it run on a machine without enough ram :) | 04:23 |
| julian | just running kubuntu for the first time. having some questions already | 04:24 |
| kosh | LjL: no idea on that, I have not used samba | 04:24 |
| __mikem | Well, thats granted, but there needs to be balance | 04:24 |
| LjL | kosh: also, files from samba or ftp or whatever get copied to the local disk first. that's unintuitive, and people wonder why it doesn't work the same way when they actually *mount* their samba share | 04:24 |
| julian | alright, nevermind | 04:25 |
| LjL | kosh: i guess it will do the same thing with any ioslave except "file://" (which, i guess, isn't really treated as such) | 04:25 |

| kosh | LjL: I mostly work with remote systems where the connection is encrypted like sftp and it does what I need for that | 04:25 |
| kosh | __mikem: yup there are lots of things to balance, you have to profile, see how much you can speed it up trivially, and then find out what the cost of the speed you need is vs the cost of the hardware at least for writing custom applications | 04:25 |
| LjL | kosh: yeah, in those applications that happen to support it correctly... which, seeing the Amarok case, aren't even just the KDE applications, but a *subset* of them | 04:26 |
| kosh | __mikem: if it iwll take 30K in time but only 5K in hardware then the hardware is cheaper | 04:26 |
| __mikem | Yeh, but hardware aint my problem, leave it to the hardware guys | 04:26 |
| kosh | LjL: I don't think the media layer in general handles remote resources since it tries to do stuff to files that those remote resources don't support | 04:27 |
| kosh | LjL: that is why there is not a common library yet that is pushed down, it still needs work | 04:27 |
| LjL | kosh: but, really, i think the problem with this "virtual file systems" thing lies with Linux and its monolithic architecture. if filesystem drivers didn't have to be part of the kernel, it would very easy to *download new filesystems on the fly*, and mount Samba, NFS, SFTP or whatever without any troubles at all | 04:27 |
| kosh | LjL: it is not amarok that is broken or the ioslaves that are broken | 04:28 |
| kosh | LjL: this has squat to do with linux, this has to do with working on any unix | 04:28 |
| __mikem | we have had a lot of people in here complaining about amarok | 04:28 |
| kosh | I like amarok, I use the xine output on it so I can get 7.1 audio | 04:28 |
| __mikem | I like Kaffine | 04:28 |
| kosh | LjL: why do you keep going after the idea that kde is somehow tied to linux? | 04:29 |
| LjL | kosh: if linux gave us an easy way to do that, KDE and Gnome could make use of it when running on Linux, and revert to "virtual" when running on system that don't have such features | 04:29 |

| kosh | LjL: why is that more convoluted, the kio items are userspace filesystem drivers they are just normally only used by kde | 04:35 |
| kosh | LjL: now that the kernel has a way of doing userspace drivers someone made it so it could use ones that are already written | 04:35 |
| kosh | LjL: remember with modern software unless a feature is used you don't pay a memory cost for it since it won't be loaded off the disk | 04:36 |
| LjL | kosh: yes, it makes sense at the end of the day. though, i wonder, how tied to KDE are those drivers? | 04:36 |
| LjL | kosh: when i try to use, say, the SFTP kioslave from the console, will a KDE window pop up saying "copying file..."? | 04:36 |
| kosh | LjL: they are not tied to kde | 04:37 |
| __mikem | ok I am back | 04:37 |
| kosh | LjL: they where just written as part of the kde project | 04:37 |
| kosh | LjL: kde is pretty clean and modular | 04:37 |
| thompa | LjL: the web site says dapper for amarok, is there some other way to install it? | 04:37 |
| LjL | kosh: you know, i was just receintly thinking about using FUSE to get a versioning file system, there is one around | 04:38 |
| LjL | thompa: you're correct, my fault. i was sure i had read "breezy" earlier on today | 04:38 |
| thompa | needs a newer version of taglib. | 04:39 |
| thompa | you would think if they announce it here it would be for breezy | 04:39 |
| kosh | writing good software is very very hard which is why most of it does not even approach good | 04:40 |
| thompa | and what i like about kubuntu is that it presents kde in a nice way menus and all | 04:41 |

| robotgeek | !automatix | 07:56 |
| ubotu | automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'ynYn'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation. | 07:56 |

| sniff | i tried to compile my own ff 1,5 by hand but it got some error :( | 08:18 |
| sniff | no kde | 08:18 |
| kosh | however it causes some problems with gnome | 08:18 |
| sniff | kosh: why? | 08:18 |
| kosh | that is why it can't just be stuck in | 08:18 |

| sniff | although now adobe has taken over macromedia so i guess studi is going to turn into a piece of bloated shit | 08:26 |

| brydenn | bbl guys :) | 08:27 |
| kosh | I write software, I don't do graphics, word processors etc | 08:27 |
| sniff | so what can u do? | 08:27 |
| kosh | I care about coding editors, debugging etc | 08:27 |
| sniff | adobe only works on mac or windows | 08:27 |
| sniff | i won't argue the point that adobe apps are fantastic but they are incredibly bloated | 08:28 |
| kosh | actually for many tasks the gimp can replace photoshop | 08:28 |
| kosh | heck for some of the things I watch people do in photoshop it would be easier to use imagmagick | 08:28 |
| sniff | and now they've got all this update crap going on and secretly loading daemons and services in your windows installation/. I takes me half a day to clean up the computer after an adobe install | 08:28 |

| T3hWiz0rd | rich0rd: someone tampered with my BIOS settings, and in the process, changed my memory clocking too high | 09:56 |
| T3hWiz0rd | the memory was hanging, thus causing the kernel to lock, and as it turns out, suse has fully reloaded to the desktop without a problem :-O | 09:56 |

| T3hWiz0rd | well fortunate for me, i wasn't on windows | 09:58 |

| T3hWiz0rd | the correct thing to say, kosh is don't over clock if you don't know the limits of the hardware. | 10:01 |

| T3hWiz0rd | ownerx: and my guess is whoever tweeked that memory setting in bios knew exaclty what they were donig... | 10:05 |

| _evil_h_ | vge: nope. poking in it now | 02:03 |
| snif | i was using adept | 02:03 |
| Nomad411 | removed what package? | 02:03 |
| snif | a lot of different ones, i was trying to compile skim source and i installed a lot of dev modules, but none worked. So I thought that i just uninstalled them | 02:04 |
| Nomad411 | Anyone here smarter than me have a solution for snif,s removal of all packages KDE? | 02:04 |
| snif | well i think i did uninstall them and the whole system | 02:04 |
| Nomad411 | You were doing this from a remote machine? Why did your window go away? Ohh Adept-GUI... ok | 02:04 |
| snif | no on my machine | 02:04 |

| ita | im not that much of a successfull guy today .. im trying to follow the faq on kubuntu homepage to get mp3 support .. but i cant either find the gstream-mad nor the akode-mpeg package .. somethings wrong here | 02:07 |
| Nomad411 | Once you find a main package, the rest will follow | 02:07 |
| farous_away | snif you need more than the kde-core | 02:07 |
| snif | i can't belive it let me do this | 02:07 |
| vge | kde-desktop | 02:07 |
| vge | hups | 02:07 |
| Nomad411 | It did ask you to confirm :) | 02:07 |
| snif | it could say i'm about to trash my system, am I sure??? | 02:08 |
| vge | ita: you have all the repositories? | 02:08 |
| snif | i'm sure not | 02:08 |
| ita | if have the standard repos yes .. i enabled for testing the 2 "universe" repos .. but i cant find anything | 02:08 |
| farous_away | snif kubuntu-desktop will take care of everything od not worry it is like installing from the cd overthenet | 02:08 |
| snif | oh | 02:08 |
| vge | snif: for future reference, you have /home in different partition than the rest of filesystem? | 02:09 |
| snif | it won't let me do kde-desktop says it will break something!! | 02:09 |
| farous_away | just that it will not install what you already have | 02:09 |

| farous_away | snif did you close adept | 02:11 |
| snif | farous_away: not yet | 02:11 |
| farous_away | ok what will break give us the message | 02:11 |
| snif | can i do a force install from terminal | 02:11 |
| Nomad411 | trying to install "kubuntu-desktop" it tells you this? | 02:12 |
| snif | i'm using adept, it doesn't say exaclty what | 02:12 |
| snif | Nomad411: yes | 02:12 |
| Nomad411 | otry from a terminal | 02:12 |
| farous_away | hmm try it Nomad411 wy do it in a terminal | 02:12 |
| farous_away | i just wish you did not remove apt | 02:12 |
| Nomad411 | I dunno, if adept is weird after having just removed it.. | 02:12 |
| snif | if i use terminal then i will close adept..... am i sure i want to do this? | 02:12 |
| Nomad411 | ok, maybe nt | 02:13 |

| snif | not much methinks | 02:13 |
| vge | ita: http://kubuntu.pastebin.com/555842 here is my sources list, feel free to use, replace fi with your natinality | 02:13 |
| snif | is there a command from console to force it to install? | 02:13 |
| Nomad411 | It just seems to me that at the very worst, you can reinstall it from CD | 02:13 |
| farous_away | snif take a deep breath now open a terminal | 02:13 |
| Nomad411 | -f maybe | 02:13 |
| Nomad411 | force it against having adept open you mean? | 02:14 |
| snif | farous_away: i can't open anything, but fortunately i already have a terminal open | 02:14 |
| farous_away | and do not make rush decsision think clearly first | 02:14 |
| Nomad411 | exactly | 02:14 |
| snif | no force the install even thoug something may break | 02:14 |
| farous_away | hmm in it type which apt-get | 02:14 |
| farous_away | or better ls /usr/bin/apt-get | 02:15 |
| Nomad411 | His path and binaries should all be ok though | 02:15 |
| snif | sniff@kubuntu:~/skim$ which apt-get | 02:15 |
| snif | /usr/bin/apt-get | 02:15 |
| Nomad411 | regular binaries that is | 02:15 |
| farous_away | great | 02:15 |
| ita | vge: thank you | 02:15 |
| snif | what now guys? | 02:15 |
| farous_away | Nomad411: i do nto know exactly what he removed and what he left | 02:15 |
| Nomad411 | I would first try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 02:16 |
| snif | i don't think it will let me | 02:16 |
| farous_away | me too seems adept has a problem | 02:16 |
| snif | so i will close Adept......? | 02:16 |
| Nomad411 | I think that the dependencies will all catch up, AND hopefully there is a log of what adept removed, to b elooked at afterwards | 02:16 |
| farous_away | snif if the worst happen you can try ctrl alt F1 | 02:16 |
| farous_away | login to a terminal | 02:16 |
| farous_away | and type sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 02:16 |
| snif | i'm closing adept...... ok? | 02:16 |
| Nomad411 | it's your call | 02:17 |
| Nomad411 | but seems to be going nowhere with adept anyway | 02:17 |
| snif | it's gone | 02:17 |
| Nomad411 | we'll miss it | 02:17 |
| Nomad411 | :) | 02:17 |
| snif | ok... | 02:18 |
| snif | terminal is doeing it's thing | 02:18 |
| snif | but it's getting off the net so will take a long time | 02:19 |
| farous_away | ya so it is working now good | 02:19 |
| farous_away | will download everything than install it for you | 02:19 |
| farous_away | you will need to log out and in again after it do | 02:19 |
| snif | farous_away: true, but will it work afterwards... i guess time will tell.... :) | 02:19 |
| farous_away | snif it will work fine | 02:20 |
| Nomad411 | It should, it did for me, except I did re-install each package individually | 02:20 |
| farous_away | :) | 02:20 |
| snif | just wondering, when apt-get downloads and installs stuff, does it delete it afterwards? | 02:20 |
| farous_away | snif no | 02:20 |
| Nomad411 | There will be a log from adept, I hope, that will show you lal packages missing, you can alway speck at that and re-install anythign that is now missing | 02:20 |
| farous_away | it is stored under /var/apt/cache | 02:20 |
| Nomad411 | Not until you do a clean command | 02:21 |
| farous_away | yap | 02:21 |
| Nomad411 | I think teh slogan should be "Relax, you're using Linux now.. " ;) | 02:21 |
| Nomad411 | Except don't relax to the point of deleting everything ;) | 02:22 |
| farous_away | :) | 02:22 |
| snif | what is the clean command? | 02:22 |
| farous_away | ok off to my work again take care all | 02:22 |
| Nomad411 | sudo apt-get clean removes teh saved packages | 02:22 |
| Nomad411 | have a good day farous_away | 02:22 |
| Nomad411 | snif: let us know how it goes afterwards :) | 02:23 |

| Psi-Jack | Yeah. I've had it destroy the partition table to the point, it was /usable/ still, but you couldn't do anything to change the structure anymore, unless you scratched it completely.\ | 09:27 |
| Psi-Jack | If you just create partitions with it, it's fine, but if you do /any/ resizing, it starts getting iffy. | 09:27 |

| Psi-Jack | ryanakca: Hmmm. To do that you would need to adjust X's resolution itself. The default, at least. | 11:13 |

| Psi-Jack | ryanakca: And then, if you WANTED a different resolution as a particular user, you'd use the Control Center to set the desired resolution for that user. | 11:13 |
| ryanakca | ok.. X's resolution... XF86Config.something methinks... right? | 11:14 |
| luisito | robotgeek: now I get: Can't find X includes. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! | 11:14 |
| Psi-Jack | It's /etc/X11/xorg.conf actually. Kubuntu uses Xorg. | 11:14 |
| robotgeek | !xincludes | 11:14 |
| ubotu | When a program or configure script asks for "X includes", you should probably install the following packages: xlibs-dev xlibs-static-dev x-window-system-dev | 11:14 |
| luisito | ok thans again | 11:15 |
| robotgeek | ubotu: tell luisito about compile | 11:15 |
| Psi-Jack | ryanakca: Remember, set the default resolution, if you want resolution switching capabilities that KDE can make use of. | 11:15 |
| Psi-Jack | Hmm | 11:15 |
| Psi-Jack | WHat the hell is wrong with kdesu? :/ | 11:16 |

| luisito | robotgeek: Thank you. I really need that info. :) | 11:17 |
| zZz_Yeah | is the kubuntu.org breezy/main packages site down | 11:17 |
| Psi-Jack | I can sudo just fine, but nooooo, not kdesu.. Heh | 11:17 |

| zblach | why? | 11:52 |
| Psi-Jack | I installed ONE font package, and now my whole font stuff is wierded out. | 11:52 |

| zblach | thats linux | 11:55 |
| luka74 | Psi-Jack: on Dapper or Breezy? There is a known bug with bold fonts in recent dapper.... | 11:56 |
| Psi-Jack | heh | 11:56 |
| Psi-Jack | Breezy | 11:56 |
| luka74 | kde 3.5.1? | 11:56 |
| Psi-Jack | http://www.furreville.net/~psi-jack/kde-bigfont.png | 11:56 |
| Psi-Jack | Yes | 11:56 |
| trappist | oh | 11:56 |
| luka74 | (maybe is not dapper, but kde 3.5.1 specific) | 11:56 |
| trappist | that maybe explains my problem | 11:56 |
| Psi-Jack | luka74: It happened before on KDE 3.4.x too, last time I installed Kubuntu. :p | 11:56 |
| trappist | I thought is was just because I installed a zillion fonts and did a poor job of choosing which to use | 11:57 |
| Psi-Jack | I manually re-adjusted the fonts in KDE itself, but it's the OTHER programs, like Adept, that's still being screwed. :/ | 11:58 |
| Psi-Jack | As that screenshot demonstrates. | 11:58 |
| Psi-Jack | trappist: I think it's actually kubuntu's proper use of fontconfig, really.. | 11:59 |
| Psi-Jack | Err. | 11:59 |
| Psi-Jack | IMProper. | 11:59 |

| Psi-Jack | fontconfig is great, when utilized /correctly/, actually. | 12:03 |
