| _ace | okay here 's the situation | 12:47 |
| _ace | i am an ubergeek | 12:47 |

| _ace | you are a ubergeek too ? use cl aal the time ? | 12:48 |
| _ace | or you just a user | 12:48 |

| Psi-Jack | No, actually I'm using bdb./ | 12:49 |

| Psi-Jack | If you want, you can always hack the adduser script to automatically add them to various groups, or such. | 12:51 |
| _ace | but this is not about ldap being 'an ldbm' (gna gna) | 12:51 |
| Psi-Jack | Or, wait. | 12:52 |
| Psi-Jack | Nope.. adduser.conf doesn't have anything for that. :) | 12:52 |

| Psi-Jack | Or better! | 12:54 |
| Psi-Jack | Make a simple basic shell script to call adduser using -ingroup with your list of prefered defaults. | 12:54 |
| _ace | yeah | 12:54 |
| _ace | so youre suggesting 'better ways' then kuser | 12:54 |
| _ace | and that's good | 12:55 |
| _ace | since ten minutes ago you said: | 12:55 |
| Psi-Jack | I use kuser, myself, because it manages LDAP users with complete ease. | 12:55 |
| _ace | European Network for the Development of Experimental Economics and its Application | 12:55 |
| _ace | to Research | 12:55 |
| _ace | oh sorry | 12:55 |
| Psi-Jack | I create a user in kuser, it gets injected into LDAP, bam, I login to any of the 20 networked computers on my LAN, and if the homedir doesn't exist, it gets created at login. | 12:55 |
| _ace | anyway | 12:56 |
| _ace | you said 'that's the ubuntu way'. | 12:56 |
| _ace | I like you ldap thing though | 12:56 |
| _ace | search google for 'qwido' | 12:56 |
| _ace | or 'qwido suares' | 12:56 |
| _ace | but i was just contemplating the idea of 'templates' | 12:57 |
| Psi-Jack | And why am I doing this? heh | 12:57 |
| _ace | like you could set up kuser in a way where you fill in some templates for ceratin kind of users | 12:57 |
| _ace | that's needed for your ldap too | 12:57 |
| _ace | you can inject 'any user' in ldap via kuser | 12:57 |
| === brodel [n=brodel@pool-68-238-17-154.rich.east.verizon.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| _ace | but you could also inject 'webuser', 'ltsp-user', 'admin-user' etc ... | 12:58 |
| Psi-Jack | Kuser, unfortunately, isn't /that/ configurable. ;) | 12:58 |
| Psi-Jack | To setup specific templates for variating "types" of users. | 12:58 |
| _ace | no that's why i asked the q in the first place,. fellow ubergeek! | 12:58 |
| _ace | however your sarcasm eloped me | 12:58 |
| Psi-Jack | luma is a very nice python-Qt LDAP manager. ;) | 12:58 |
| _ace | there was just a research that 50% of the people misinterpret 80% of the written messegaes for 'sarcasm' , irony etc | 12:59 |
| Psi-Jack | It lets you create templates, as well. Sorta. ;) | 12:59 |
| _ace | and that's why flame wars start... | 12:59 |
| _ace | okay, sorta, how... ? | 12:59 |
| _ace | good for luma! | 12:59 |
| _ace | what i want is dead simple (that's not a hex code). | 01:00 |
| Psi-Jack | The custom templates still make you pick the proper DN to use, but that's about the only limiting factor in it's template constructs. | 01:00 |
| jerware | is the only difference between ubuntu and kubuntu is kde ? | 01:00 |
| _ace | one user is a 'user' | 01:00 |
| _ace | and one user is a 'admin user' | 01:00 |
| Psi-Jack | jerware: Yes. Basically. | 01:00 |
| jerware | ok | 01:00 |
| _ace | and when opening kuser, you can select those | 01:00 |
| _ace | and add name password etc | 01:00 |
| _ace | and done. | 01:00 |
| _ace | I'll make scripts for that *now* | 01:00 |
| _ace | but I justr wondered if there was more graphic way of doing it | 01:01 |
| Psi-Jack | The "admin" group basically gives users access to sudo. | 01:01 |
| _ace | but I guess I have to talk with the kuser developer :-)))) | 01:01 |
| Psi-Jack | But, yeah. kuser doesn't have a nice templating facility, yet. | 01:01 |
| jerware | are all updates, programs, repositories, kernel patches/updates, etc., etc. interchangable between ubuntu and kubuntu? | 01:01 |
| Psi-Jack | jerware: Yes. | 01:01 |
| jerware | nice | 01:02 |

| tinin | i'll try so | 01:57 |
| tinin | i didn't know about that | 01:57 |
| supertijano | I learned that trick on the internet because my laptop's eject button is broken. :/ | 01:57 |
| Psi-Jack | tinin: You just don't want to force an eject while it's still mounted. :) | 01:58 |

| mnoir | only a subset are installed | 02:19 |
| Psi-Jack | Andy5201987: Looked at the URL? | 02:19 |

| Andy5201987 | I know what you said | 02:22 |

| Psi-Jack | I'm trying to decide what to do about /dev now... | 02:49 |

| Hobbsee | what in particular about it? | 03:43 |
| djzn | fatejudger: yes | 03:43 |
| fatejudger | Hobbsee: well it now depends on Kexi | 03:43 |
| fatejudger | Hobbsee: somewhere around 1.4 | 03:43 |
| djzn | fatejudger: installed the system from the cd | 03:43 |
| fatejudger | djzn: which cd? | 03:44 |
| fatejudger | djzn: the server cd? | 03:44 |

| djzn | full kubuntu cd | 03:44 |
| Hobbsee | fatejudger: right..and? | 03:44 |
| fatejudger | djzn: then it may use the CD depending on whether it's the latest package or not | 03:44 |
| fatejudger | Hobbsee: there is no Kexi 1.4 | 03:44 |
| djzn | ok ill try | 03:44 |
| Psi-Jack | I love the fact that it's mostly easy as heck to copy an entire Linux system from one HDD to another is mostly just as simple as cp -a | 03:44 |
| Hobbsee | fatejudger: ah, i see | 03:44 |
| fatejudger | Hobbsee: so now apt-get is asking me to provide it kexi | 03:45 |
| fatejudger | Hobbsee: and holding back some upgrades | 03:45 |
| fatejudger | Hobbsee: so now not only can I not install KOffice, I can't use apt at all | 03:45 |
| Hobbsee | oh dear, that's not good | 03:45 |
| Hobbsee | why is it holding back the rest of the upgrades? | 03:45 |
| Hobbsee | ooh, more upgrades :D | 03:46 |
| fatejudger | Hobbsee: well it's been trying to install the core package | 03:46 |
| Hobbsee | right | 03:46 |
| fatejudger | Hobbsee: for koffice | 03:46 |
| Hobbsee | i think you'd have to ask Riddell about this, btw - he did those packages | 03:46 |
| fatejudger | Hobbsee: but for some reason the "KOffice" package depends on Kexi | 03:46 |
| fatejudger | Hobbsee: but the subpackages don't | 03:46 |
| Hobbsee | and just wont run, and ignores everything else in the packages | 03:46 |
| Hobbsee | er, ok then! | 03:46 |
| fatejudger | Hobbsee: at least some of them don't | 03:46 |
| fatejudger | Hobbsee: and now koffice-core is getting confused | 03:46 |
| Hobbsee | :( | 03:47 |
| fatejudger | Hobbsee: and it can't overwrite some files | 03:47 |
| fatejudger | Hobbsee: because it's part of the Kexi package | 03:47 |
| Hobbsee | darn! | 03:47 |
| fatejudger | Hobbsee: maybe I could manually uninstall Kexi... | 03:47 |
| Hobbsee | that would probably work, then retry | 03:47 |

| dcwckd | ? | 04:36 |
| __mikem | no it shouldn't | 04:36 |
| dcwckd | techincally? it shouldnt right? | 04:37 |
| __mikem | as long as you don't have as many programs using them | 04:37 |

| dcwckd | right | 04:37 |
| dcwckd | librarys arent usually resource hogs | 04:37 |
| dcwckd | unless an app is using one | 04:37 |
| dcwckd | got it | 04:37 |
| __mikem | are these dynamically linked | 04:38 |
| Hobbsee_ | well, i found one way to speed up how fast kde loads! | 04:38 |
| _jfm | got it ! Numlock on by default on X... apt-get numlockx then follow the readme :-) | 04:38 |
| __mikem | or static | 04:38 |
| dcwckd | yes | 04:38 |
| dcwckd | apt-get installs them as dependancies | 04:38 |
| dcwckd | Hobb, how? | 04:38 |
| __mikem | well, they will only take up resources when a program uses them, and unless you are doing something really strange it still shouldn't be too much of an issue | 04:38 |
| dcwckd | cool | 04:38 |
| dcwckd | I got worried | 04:39 |
| dcwckd | i like a clean OS | 04:39 |

| djzn | how do configure GTK 1.x apps to look better | 05:52 |
| djzn | GTK 1.x apps have their font extremely HUGE | 05:52 |
| fit4lfe | damn upgrading to dapper takes a long time | 05:53 |
| fit4lfe | must be thousands of packages | 05:53 |
| fit4lfe | lol | 05:53 |
| Hobbsee | fit4lfe: yeah, it does :) | 05:54 |
| Psi-Jack | djzn: Well, GTK+ 1.x apps don't use fontconfig like GTK+ 2.x apps do, so literally, you have to use .gtkrc-1.0 | 05:55 |
| djzn | psi: oh yeah? | 05:55 |
| kamma | djzn: eww what gtk1 apps do you still use? | 05:55 |
| djzn | kamma: audacity, xmms, mplayer | 05:55 |
| kamma | djzn: why not kmplayer and bmp | 05:56 |
| fit4lfe | amarok has so many bugs | 05:56 |
| Psi-Jack | kmplayer? hmmm | 05:56 |
| djzn | what is kmplayer? | 05:56 |
| Psi-Jack | I like amarok. Bugs? | 05:56 |
| fit4lfe | can['t get it to even load | 05:56 |
| Psi-Jack | What bugs does amaroK have, cause it never gives me trouble. Ever, | 05:56 |
| djzn | i just tested amarok, but i didnt think the equalizer is as powerful as xmms one | 05:57 |
| fit4lfe | I like xmms | 05:57 |
| kamma | djzn: media player that uses mplayer as the backend | 05:57 |
| kamma | http://kmplayer.kde.org/ | 05:57 |
| Psi-Jack | djzn: That's because xine's equalizer isn't that great yet. gstreamer's is /slightly/ better, but still crap. I prefer xine, though. | 05:57 |
| fit4lfe | I just wish mplayer could play wmv files too | 05:57 |
| brydenn | :( | 05:57 |
| kamma | xine is way better than gstreamer imo | 05:57 |
| Psi-Jack | I still like kaffeine, myself. | 05:57 |
| brydenn | why wont wine do Photoshop CS2 and just 7,0? | 05:58 |
| brydenn | errrrrrrrr | 05:58 |
| kamma | i havent tried gstreamer-.10 yet though | 05:58 |
| JasonF | vlc >>>>>>>>> xine > gstreamer | 05:58 |
| Psi-Jack | fit4lfe: It can. | 05:58 |
| Psi-Jack | fit4lfe: Just not DRM encoded ones. | 05:58 |
| kamma | fit4lfe: do you have w32codecs? | 05:58 |
| djzn | kmplayer works INSIDE konqui? | 05:58 |
| djzn | i need something that works outside | 05:58 |
| Psi-Jack | djzn: Outside, as in, loading up a seperate program not embeded? | 05:59 |
| kamma | djzn: it does both | 05:59 |
| djzn | yeah | 05:59 |
| Psi-Jack | djzn: Kaffiene | 05:59 |
| Psi-Jack | Kaffeine's plugin does EXACTLY that. | 05:59 |
| kamma | yea just do kaffeine unless you love mplayer for a backend for w/e reason | 05:59 |
| fit4lfe | 869 upgraded, 149 newly installed, 65 to remove and 3 not upgraded. | 05:59 |
| fit4lfe | 469 not fully installed or removed. | 05:59 |
| fit4lfe | Need to get 508MB/662MB of archives. | 05:59 |
| djzn | wait here..LOL... the thing is totally taking a new direction. LOL... i just need a gtkrc-1.2 config example | 05:59 |
| fit4lfe | lol | 06:00 |

| fit4lfe | really | 06:01 |
| fit4lfe | I have way to much stuff to do a fresh install | 06:02 |

| kamma | fit4lfe: you should make a seperate /home partition... | 06:02 |
| kamma | that's what i did, and no hard in reinstalling here | 06:02 |

| === Red_Herring hates the oc | ||
| kamma | you have to download it and manually get it due to copyright issues | 06:09 |
| Red_Herring | !win32codecs | 06:10 |
| ubotu | win32codecs is, like, binary only codecs that some call evil., and they're available from http://seveas.ubuntulinux.nl/ | 06:10 |
| fit4lfe | so how bad does dapper crash | 06:10 |

| fit4lfe | shoudl I restart it though | 06:37 |
| fit4lfe | crtl+alt+backspace | 06:37 |
| Psi-Jack | I would. If you've already fully dist-upgraded | 06:37 |

| fit4lfe | lol | 06:38 |
| fit4lfe | if I reboot | 06:38 |
| osh_ | Psi-Jack: xwindows is the common name for "The X windowing system" or whatever it's called. If you say xwindows everyone knows what you mean... | 06:38 |
| osh_ | Psi-Jack: But I'm sure you knew that. | 06:38 |
| djzn | where do i place a COLOR.kcsrc file? | 06:38 |
| Psi-Jack | osh_: That is, however, regardless "common" to you or not, INCORRECT | 06:38 |
| fit4lfe | yeah I do | 06:38 |
| Hysty | anyone here compared using Qemu to using Wine? | 06:39 |
| fit4lfe | ok here we go | 06:39 |
| Psi-Jack | "xwindows" actually was originally made by the Berkeley guys.. A predessesor (sp?) to what we now know as X. | 06:39 |
| osh_ | Psi-Jack: many things common names that we use are technically incorrect but everyone knows what it it anyway so... | 06:39 |
| Psi-Jack | But, it didn't really go very far. heh | 06:39 |
| Psi-Jack | osh_: So, we should all speak of things by their incorrect names, just because it's "common". I refuse. And I will always correct people. | 06:40 |
| Psi-Jack | X is proper to call X. XWindows, is not. | 06:40 |
| === thehil [n=h@dsl-66-243-235-105.elltel.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| Hysty | but people claim Windows is stable and it isnt :) | 06:41 |
| Psi-Jack | Hysty: It is. For the most part, if you only install a small set of programs, and only use those programs. ;) | 06:41 |
| osh_ | Psi-Jack: an example. You know what a dimmer is, right? That's not the correct word for it. Should I not call it a dimmer then? Even though you know exactly what I'm speaking of. Same thing with xwindows. | 06:41 |
| hatake_kakashi | Hysty: hence the non RASIS/POSIX compliance | 06:41 |
| Hysty | Psi-Jack, yes indeed | 06:42 |
| Psi-Jack | osh_: That's comparing a mustang to an elephant and you know it. :p | 06:42 |
| Hysty | hehe | 06:42 |
| Hysty | can-o-worms | 06:42 |
| osh_ | Psi-Jack: Not really but I have to go to work now so. But do feel free to correct people. I'm sure noone mind. ;-) | 06:43 |
| Psi-Jack | Anyway, as I said. It's X, X11, X11R6, or the X Window System, or by product name, XFree86, Xorg, AccelX, MetroX, etc. But Absolutely /not/ XWindows. And I will hold ground on that forever. There is no swaying me from it | 06:43 |
| === Hysty plays around in xwindows | ||
| Hysty | :P | 06:44 |
| Hysty | tis better to be called X anyway, at least then it doesnt sound like a shoddy MS product | 06:44 |
| === Hysty wanders off to retrieve some cake | ||
| Psi-Jack | Hysty: Exactly. | 06:46 |
| Psi-Jack | And, like I said, Berkeley holds the original rights to the name "xwindows". | 06:47 |

| Ashex | well, crap | 06:53 |
| farous | Ashex: set it up in your xorg.conf file | 06:54 |
| Ashex | any idea how? | 06:54 |
| farous | hmm you need to edit it | 06:54 |
| Ashex | well, yeah | 06:54 |
| farous | and if you do not know how then you should not do it | 06:54 |

| Ashex | ati radeon express 200m | 06:56 |
| farous | ya it will recognize it | 06:57 |
| farous | you can set the specific values if you want in the dispaly section | 06:57 |
| Ashex | editing might get tricky, since I'm still on windows | 06:57 |
| Ashex | okay | 06:57 |
| Ashex | a few months back I tried to install ubuntu and had the same problem | 06:57 |
| Ashex | I fixed this by plugging a monitor in and switching it back | 06:57 |
| hatake_kakashi | Ashex: you installed ubuntu/kubutu through vmware? | 06:58 |
| djzn | is there a way to change the boot splash screen??? | 06:58 |
| Ashex | however, I can't switch back to lcd without plugging something into the vga out | 06:58 |
| Ashex | hatake_kakashi: nope | 06:58 |
| Ashex | I'm still on windows, completely | 06:58 |
| hatake_kakashi | Ashex: is your linux partition ext2 or ext3? | 06:58 |
| farous | Ashex: which monitor you wana set the external or the lcd one | 06:58 |
| Ashex | lcd | 06:58 |
| Ashex | I don't have an external monitor :P | 06:58 |
| farous | ok | 06:59 |
| farous | just making sure i gave you the right instructions | 06:59 |
| farous | but normally it fails back to vga if it can not recogn. your lcd or if there is something wrong | 06:59 |
| Ashex | ok | 07:00 |
| Ashex | hrm | 07:00 |
| Ashex | I'm not sure how to go about this in windows... | 07:01 |
| farous | wait till you boot into linux and do the dpkg -reconfigure command | 07:01 |
| farous | this is the safest way | 07:01 |

| Psi-Jack | I right clicked the DVD drive, and went to properties. I hit the Wrench button next to Unmounted DVD, and | 09:08 |
| weedar | Ashex, /media is common, check out /etc/fstab for information on where your partitions are mounted | 09:08 |

| weedar | hatake_kakashi, sorry, that was what I ment i should had a brainfart when I wrote that last sentence :) | 09:10 |
| weedar | -should | 09:10 |
| hatake_kakashi | ah | 09:10 |
| weedar | I might not be as awake as I first though | 09:10 |
| Psi-Jack | THAT will fix your inode/directory association globally. | 09:10 |
| Psi-Jack | I knew if I dug deep enough, I would find it, and fix it. | 09:12 |
| ita | i need to get "linux-headers" ... should i get "linux-headers-myKernelVersion" or "linux-headers-myKernelVersion-Architecture" ?! | 09:12 |

| Psi-Jack | Kubuntu.org has a wiki, doesn't it? :) | 09:13 |
| Psi-Jack | I want to submit this suggestion to fix the konqueror profile usage.. :) | 09:14 |
| ita | well its not that eloquent on my issues | 09:14 |
| Psi-Jack | ita: Excuse me? | 09:15 |
| Hobbsee | Psi-Jack: sure it does - wiki.kubuntu.org - but i'm not sure that's the most appropriate place for it | 09:15 |
| Psi-Jack | Hobbsee: Why not? Most /everyone/ complains about it. | 09:16 |
| Hobbsee | i think that's being discussed in the meeting tomorrow | 09:16 |
| Psi-Jack | Yet.. Nobody knows how to fix it. And it's actually something Kubuntu packaging did to break it. | 09:16 |
| Psi-Jack | Meeting? Tomorrow? | 09:17 |
| ita | im saying that i see the effort people put into kubuntu.org wiki and all that and i appreciate that .. but what i find there does not help me at all with issues im dealing with for 2 days now (evolution -> exchange / cifs mounts via mount -t cifs and or /etc/fstab and installing my ati 9600) ... so i keep on asking here .. i know wiki, i know google and i used that .. | 09:19 |
| Psi-Jack | ita: What is your current need? | 09:20 |
| ita | a coffee and a cigarette :) | 09:20 |
| Psi-Jack | Done! *snaps his fingers* | 09:21 |
| ita | wizzzzzzard | 09:21 |
| Psi-Jack | BTW, It may take up to 22 years for them to finally arrive. | 09:21 |
| Psi-Jack | ita: Seriously, now. What is your current need? | 09:22 |
| Psi-Jack | I got an idea. I may just make a KDE Tips & Tricks wiki.. If wiki.kubuntu.org will ever let me save. | 09:23 |
| ita | at the moment im installing the ati prop driver 8.22.5 and my last question was whether to get linux-headers-KERNEL_Version or linux-headers-KERNEL_Verision-Architecture .. (i chose the the one with arch) | 09:24 |
| Psi-Jack | Ahh. Yeah. That's probably a good idea. Less clutter and crap, basically. | 09:24 |
| Psi-Jack | No need for the sparc, irix, etc. headers, when all you have is cisc x86 | 09:25 |

| Kurt`` | ctrl-alt-backspace ? | 09:44 |
| weedar | Only run in console | 09:44 |
| Psi-Jack | kill -9 it's pid? | 09:44 |
| weedar | that only restartx xorg | 09:44 |
| Psi-Jack | Or do you mean kdm? | 09:45 |
| hatake_kakashi | weedar: kill -9 `pidof Xorg` | 09:45 |
| weedar | I'll try that | 09:45 |
| Psi-Jack | If you mean to stop kdm, the Display Manager, where you login at, is to use /etc/init.d/kdm stop | 09:45 |
| ubijtsa | weedar: edit /etc/X11/default-display-manager and put a '!' at the start of the line | 09:45 |
| Psi-Jack | hatake_kakashi: Actually, just X | 09:46 |
| Psi-Jack | pidof X | 09:46 |
| Psi-Jack | ubijtsa: Umm. | 09:46 |
| hatake_kakashi | Psi-Jack: ahh yeah that | 09:46 |
| hatake_kakashi | my bad | 09:46 |
| ubijtsa | Psi-Jack: well, it'll stop it from starting at boot :) | 09:46 |
| weedar | but I want it to stop from restarting now, I just wan to install nvidia-drivers | 09:47 |
| Psi-Jack | ubijtsa: At boot.. Hmm, yes.. True. Is that what weedar wants? | 09:47 |
| ubijtsa | rather than messing with removing symlinks in /etc/rc?.d | 09:47 |
| Psi-Jack | weedar: /etc/init.d/kdm stop | 09:47 |
| Psi-Jack | ubijtsa: That's easy. update-rc.d makes it very easy. | 09:47 |
| ubijtsa | Psi-Jack: until you update Xorg yes | 09:47 |
| ubijtsa | then the links come back | 09:48 |

| paveq | two things, I don't like kubuntu kcontrol, how do I get defautl back? Another, kdm seems to be locked to kubuntu theme? | 03:40 |
| trappist | paveq: kcontrol from the command line should give you ye olde kcontrol | 03:41 |
| kkathman | paveq: ?? | 03:41 |
| kkathman | I think he must mean the systemsettings | 03:41 |
| trappist | paveq: you change the kubuntu theme by editing /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc | 03:41 |
| trappist | kkathman: yeah I think so | 03:41 |
| trappist | that mac-ish thing | 03:41 |
| kkathman | systemsettings is broken in many places, but is scheduled to be fixed in dapper, we hope | 03:41 |
| trappist | I liked it when I first saw it, but I'm back to kcontrol | 03:42 |
| Daddy_D | trappist: can you tell the correct syntax for reinstalling kcontrol? | 03:42 |
| paveq | trappist: I already know that | 03:42 |
| paveq | but for normal user its not very nice | 03:42 |
| Daddy_D | Im having a major problem with my user password which dosent work when it prompts me for admin mode. | 03:42 |
| kkathman | trappist: yes me too, I run multiple distros and find the systemsettings very parochial and ineffective for my tastes | 03:42 |
| trappist | Daddy_D: reinstalling? sudo apt-get install kcontrol I guess | 03:42 |
| paveq | they just want to use kcontrol | 03:42 |
| Daddy_D | ok | 03:42 |
| kkathman | paveq: then alt-F2 and type kcontrol | 03:43 |
| trappist | kkathman: I love the look and feel, but it looks like not everything's there and it's slightly confusing to navigate if you're not a mac person | 03:43 |
| Daddy_D | thanks | 03:43 |
| Daddy_D | i think it worked | 03:43 |
| kkathman | trappist: yes agreed, and its NON standard KDE | 03:43 |
| trappist | yeah that too | 03:43 |
| paveq | kkathman: thanks | 03:43 |
| kkathman | np | 03:43 |
| paveq | kkathman: I thought they replaced the default :D | 03:44 |
| trappist | if we've got qt hackers on the kubuntu team with the kung fu to write something like that, methinks their skills would be much better applied elsewhere | 03:44 |
| kkathman | paveq: well, not really | 03:44 |
| kkathman | paveq: kcontrol is the standard, KDE provided utility | 03:44 |
| kkathman | so it should always be there | 03:44 |
| kkathman | systemsettings is kind of a dumbed down version, allegedly easier to use | 03:45 |
| trappist | I saw on a blog somewhere how to restore the original functionality of the menu item to launch kcontrol, but since I usually launch it with katapult I didn't pay much attention | 03:45 |

| Daddy_D | the password problem still persist | 03:45 |
| Daddy_D | does anyone know how to fix this? | 03:45 |
| kkathman | trappist: not hard to do, just remove it from the menu, add kcontrol back, and reset the shortcut | 03:45 |
| farous | what passwaard prob | 03:45 |
| trappist | kkathman: come to think of it, even on a mac it's confusing in that I keep closing it because I keep thinking I'm in a new window when I'm in a settings applet | 03:45 |
| paveq | kkathman: maybe kubuntu should ask from user if he wants simplified interface? | 03:45 |
| Daddy_D | ok let me explain | 03:45 |

| trappist | paveq: like the 'classic' control center view in windows xp? | 03:46 |
| MetaMorfoziS | hi all | 03:46 |
| kkathman | paveq: well, there is some talk that some "variant" of systemsettings is being considered for KDE4, I hope not | 03:46 |
| kkathman | but nevertheless its possible | 03:46 |
| paveq | trappist: I don't use windows, but yes | 03:46 |
| MetaMorfoziS | how can i mount (in fstab) my cdrom for all users can read it | 03:46 |
| trappist | kkathman: I'm all about a variant that doesn't suck | 03:46 |
| MetaMorfoziS | read/mount | 03:46 |
| MetaMorfoziS | ? | 03:46 |
| kkathman | lol trappist ;) | 03:46 |
| trappist | but then I can't think off the top of my head how to improve on kcontrol. it's pretty nice. | 03:47 |
| kkathman | MetaMorfoziS: just add it to your fstab..you got it right | 03:47 |
| Daddy_D | I installed kubuntu yesturday and it worked fine. Im a beginner at this but I was happy to start on my own. Today when I started linux I tried to get to 'network settings'. it prompts me for a password, I type the correct one (100%sure) and then nothing. It goes back to grey so I cant click and change ip etc. | 03:47 |
| paveq | trappist: I consider myself as advanced user, I even run ck kernel | 03:47 |
| MetaMorfoziS | because i have these two erros when i'm trying... "Only meta can mount ..." or "Only root can mount..." | 03:47 |
| Daddy_D | just browse the tabs | 03:47 |
| paveq | trappist: but for noob things should not be confusing | 03:47 |
| paveq | trappist: or differ from normal kde too much | 03:47 |
| MetaMorfoziS | kkathman: it's not simple like that^^ | 03:47 |
| farous | Daddy_D: update your installation | 03:47 |
| kkathman | MetaMorfoziS: yes it really is | 03:47 |
| trappist | so we all agree, systemsettings sucks. | 03:48 |
| MetaMorfoziS | (For me) | 03:48 |
| paveq | not being able to change kdm background from kcontrol sucks | 03:48 |
| kkathman | MetaMorfoziS: try Googling "add CD-ROM to fstab" see what comes up :) | 03:48 |
| farous | there were a bug with using admin on default install | 03:48 |
| MetaMorfoziS | so, plase help me about adding the parameters | 03:48 |
| farous | the update will fix it | 03:48 |
| MetaMorfoziS | yes i googled | 03:48 |
| Daddy_D | ok, how do I do that? And what does updating mean? Something wrong with the distro I downlaodeD? | 03:48 |
| MetaMorfoziS | but i'm don't found any good ansver | 03:48 |
| paveq | btw, is there easy way to install kde 3.5.1? | 03:48 |
| kkathman | MetaMorfoziS: then read the linuxforums' thread | 03:48 |
| paveq | for ubuntu | 03:48 |
| farous | Daddy_D: you have adept package manager use it | 03:48 |
| MetaMorfoziS | !cdrom | 03:48 |

| farous | or in a terminal type | 03:48 |
| paveq | I already use it on gentoo | 03:48 |
| farous | sudo apt-get update | 03:48 |
| trappist | Daddy_D: security updates and bugfixes come out all the time. they don't remaster the iso when a new package comes out, so updating is recommended, even on a shiny new install. | 03:49 |
| farous | sudo apt-get upgrade | 03:49 |
| Daddy_D | yeah farous, I prefer the terminal as I feel better using it somehow. Which is strange coming from a Windows XP users lol | 03:49 |
| farous | cool | 03:49 |

| Daddy_D | ok | 03:50 |
| Daddy_D | man if this works Im going to be over the moon | 03:51 |

| Daddy_D | this issue was really frustrating. I even ended up enabling the root login | 03:51 |
| trappist | Daddy_D: if you really want to, sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb when it's done | 03:51 |
| Daddy_D | trough the GUI | 03:51 |
| farous | trappist: a clear command will do that | 03:51 |

| trappist | for me, disk space is precious and I've got all the bandwidth I can eat, so I'm annoyed by things like apt archives that want to pile up | 03:53 |
| farous | Daddy_D: when you leaave it you do not need to download each time you reinstall the package | 03:54 |
| farous | that is why it is handy you do not need to be always on the net | 03:54 |
| farous | ok time to go now take care all :) | 03:55 |
| trappist | I wouldn't mind an install-time option for those of us with fat pipes and not enough disk space to turn off archiving or autoinstall a cron job to clean it up | 03:56 |

| Daddy_D | I have another question which dosent make any sense. I use DHCP with ip 192.168.0.2 to connect to the internet. When I set it up manually using the same ip (no DCHP) i can't open websites. | 04:10 |
| trappist | what _mindspin said. | 04:10 |
| Daddy_D | I do use a router with gateway of 192.168.0.1 | 04:10 |
| trappist | Daddy_D: dhcp doesn't just give you an ip address. it setup up your default gateway and your dns servers. | 04:11 |
| Daddy_D | but it dosent make sense why it wouldnt work. I even tried different ip's but stil lthe same | 04:11 |
| _mindspin | you have to set default gw when you use it manually | 04:11 |
| trappist | s/setup/sets up/ | 04:11 |
| Daddy_D | I did the gateway too | 04:11 |
| _nate | add a static route to 192.168.0.2 on the router? | 04:11 |
| trappist | default route? | 04:11 |
| Daddy_D | yes | 04:11 |
| trappist | sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 | 04:11 |
| _mindspin | sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 | 04:11 |
| _mindspin | ;-) | 04:11 |
| trappist | don't listen to _mindspin | 04:11 |
| paveq | trappist: tell me whats the flood limit | 04:12 |
| Daddy_D | heh | 04:12 |
| paveq | pasting few lines? | 04:12 |
| paveq | I could write them too | 04:12 |
| trappist | paveq: one line. If it was my channel it would be 3, but it's not, so I just follow the rules. | 04:12 |
| Daddy_D | when I type the command it told me file exist. So I believe it's set anyway. | 04:13 |
| trappist | Daddy_D: it means you *have* a default route. route -n to see it. | 04:13 |
| _mindspin | type route on commandline | 04:13 |
| Daddy_D | What about DNS. Im not familiar with the name system. Where do I configure that? | 04:13 |
| trappist | Daddy_D: add the nameserver(s) to /etc/resolv.conf | 04:13 |

| _mindspin | I have an old P1 for that stuff | 04:24 |

| _nate | the hardware router is nice because of it's smaller size and decreased power consumption | 04:25 |
| _mindspin | you could do it even without harddisk | 04:25 |

| _nate | ah | 04:29 |
| Daddy_D | even tho I use exactly the same ip that DHCP assign its still no go | 04:29 |
| _mindspin | you set it back on the router? | 04:29 |
| trappist | Daddy_D: could it be that your router won't accept traffic from an IP address it didn't hand out, if dhcp is enabled? | 04:29 |
| _nate | some router's have a default dhcp range, and they don't like you using on of those predefined addresses | 04:29 |

| Daddy_D | ok let me think how to explain this... | 04:55 |
| Daddy_D | First of all, I disabled DHCP server from the router (bad idea), then I went and changed the ip address manually to 192.168.0.2 and typed the following commands in the console. They came with this response: | 04:56 |
| _mindspin | please use pastebin | 04:56 |

| Daddy_D | whats pastebin? | 04:56 |

| Daddy_D | by the way, the reason it was a bad idea disabling DHCP It wouldnt connect back when I reverted back to DHCP settings in network settings. | 05:00 |
| _mindspin | Daddy_D: you must give yourcomputer an ip address sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.2 | 05:00 |
| Daddy_D | Strange. I thought I did using the GUI | 05:00 |
| _mindspin | then you'll have to add a default gw by sudo route add default gw 192.168.20.1 | 05:01 |

| Al-Daja | _mindspin: gonna check it, i see i have the same trouble that have with windows thx anyway | 05:03 |
| _mindspin | maybe try sudo dpkgreconfigure xorg.config | 05:04 |
| trappist | dereks: no reason for that. linux isn't like windows in that it likes to be rebooted now and then. just use things like top and ps to see what's running that maybe shouldn't be, or what's using more resources than it should. | 05:04 |
| Psi-Jack | Actually, it's dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server | 05:04 |

| trappist | dereks: hit M (as in shift-m) in top to sort by memory usage | 05:06 |
| trappist | Psi-Jack: hrm, I wonder if that'll address the issue I have when I insert a dvd | 05:07 |
| _mindspin | firefox is the leader | 05:07 |
| Psi-Jack | trappist: Which issue? | 05:07 |
| dereks | trappist: when i do a free -m; i see "-/+ buffers/cache: 287 724" | 05:07 |
| _mindspin | followed by xserver and thunderbird | 05:07 |
| dereks | which means i have 724 megs of ram free | 05:07 |
| trappist | Psi-Jack: it just pops up and complains about media:/hdc not existing iirc | 05:08 |
| Psi-Jack | trappist: Is it auto-loading a konqueror window when you insert a disk, and then popping up a dialog of what to do with it? | 05:08 |
| Psi-Jack | Ohh. That? | 05:08 |
| trappist | dereks: honestly I dunno what those numbers mean but it looks about the same on my system which is running fine | 05:09 |
| Psi-Jack | trappist: What's your fstab look like for your hdc? | 05:09 |
| dereks | trappist: thats basically your used memory and unused memory | 05:09 |
| trappist | Psi-Jack: couldn't tell ya right now, the power's out at home :) | 05:09 |
| dereks | the buffers shows what linux has allocated to use | 05:09 |
| trappist | dereks: yeah, but I don't know what the units are | 05:09 |
| _mindspin | dereks could it be a network issue? | 05:09 |
| dereks | the -m means megs | 05:09 |
| Psi-Jack | trappist: LOL. Well, remind me of it later. I can help you fix that one. :) | 05:09 |
| trappist | ah | 05:09 |
| dereks | _mindspin: i was actually just considering that now | 05:10 |
| trappist | Psi-Jack: awesome, will do. I've spent a lot of time on it. | 05:10 |
| Psi-Jack | trappist: That one, I think I solved in like 5 minutes.. :) | 05:10 |
| _mindspin | fire up etherreal and have alook what happenes in the network | 05:10 |
| dereks | _mindspin: i just considered that my roommate might be downloading crap | 05:10 |
| _mindspin | haha | 05:10 |
| dereks | _mindspin: will that work in a router network? | 05:11 |
| trappist | Psi-Jack: so when you insert a dvd, xine (or your favorite media player) pops up to play it? | 05:11 |
| _mindspin | it should afaik | 05:11 |
| dereks | _mindspin: hmm | 05:11 |
| trappist | Psi-Jack: if you help me fix it I will definitely document it and/or file a bug report | 05:11 |
| trappist | and maybe buy you a beer ;) | 05:11 |
| Psi-Jack | trappist: Nope. When I put in a DVD, all it does is prompt me, what I want to do with it. | 05:11 |
| trappist | that's good enough for me | 05:12 |
| Psi-Jack | trappist: Mmmm.. Beer... Yeah. I have PayPal for that kinda stuff. ;} | 05:12 |
| trappist | beats the hell out of an empty konqueror window and an error message | 05:12 |
| trappist | and I think if I can get that far I can get it to launch xine | 05:12 |
| Psi-Jack | Yep yep. :) | 05:12 |

| Daddy_D | Ok, hands down to you people. I made it finally work with a bit of help from 'linux in a nutshell'. I even enabled DHCP on the router and Im still able to use manual ip (currently as we speak). The problem I found out lies in the network settings. When I put default gateway it dosent register it even if i press apply. Using the sudo route add default gw 192.168.0.1 caused to ping google.com absolutely fine. | 05:30 |

| trappist | stjepan: katapult | 08:24 |
| laserman | is it fairly easy to setup to dualboot to XP and kubuntu? | 08:24 |
| jpatrick | laserman: yes | 08:24 |
| stjepan | baghira is just wonderful, it rocks, but osx like desktop isnt very functional :((( | 08:24 |
| Psi-Jack | trappist: In fact, I setup a root password, because had I not, and LDAP issues arose, I would not be able to fix my system easily. ;) | 08:24 |
| JasonR | Anyone here use Xresources to config KDE? | 08:25 |
| trappist | Psi-Jack: yeah it's a little worrisome, all the things you can break that will lock you out if you don't have a root password | 08:25 |
| Psi-Jack | JasonR: Hmmm, Does KDE itself even USE xrdb resources? | 08:25 |

| Psi-Jack | The answer is, No. | 08:25 |
| Psi-Jack | I don't think KDE uses xrdb at all. | 08:25 |
| JasonR | Psi-jack: So there is no way to configre Konsole with zrdb then? | 08:26 |

| Psi-Jack | Waiting for a reply. | 08:26 |
| JasonR | Psi-Jack: Thanks, I will ask there. | 08:26 |

| Blippe | actually I was looking for a good descrition of xine and gstreamer, and found (on wikipedia, so the probability that it is true might be low) that gstreamer was going to be incoporated in kde4, and as far as I understand, most kdeprogs uses xine (primarily) for video... | 09:54 |
| Blippe | or uses xine as the preset... | 09:55 |
| _david | Blippe: kde4 with have phonon which is a layer on top of the audio system, so it can use both xine and gstreamer (it's up to the user) it might well be that gstreamer will be the default tho | 09:55 |

| jindiaz | yah yah, ive been there | 11:42 |

| Hysty | jindiaz, your best bet is to look at the automatix documentation on the forums where it explains each install step, then manually run the install for the individual files you need | 11:42 |
| jindiaz | i just want an easy to install installer that installs all codecs and everything for all multimedia, and yah dc | 11:43 |

| jindiaz | honestly i love linux, but to be a powerful poc, this is a NECESSARY step | 11:45 |
| jindiaz | or i mean, a truely viable alternative to windows | 11:46 |
| Psi-Jack | I'm actually researching ideas to help make things a little easier to find, codec-wise, at least. | 11:46 |
| jindiaz | seriously, the codecs thing is a must do | 11:46 |
| jindiaz | honestly as it is, linux is so easy to converty to and use as an alternative. | 11:46 |
| Psi-Jack | If all deb packages have a "keyword" searchable identifier, making all "codec" related packages have a codec keyword, would in fact, make it quite easy to install codecs by. :) | 11:46 |
| jindiaz | but the functionality is something to be deisred | 11:47 |
| jindiaz | yah true | 11:47 |
