| fatejudger | solt: Windows external ext3 support doesn't decrease in speed | 12:04 |
| solt | well, because it's a driver, not a wrapper. that's a point. | 12:05 |
| fatejudger | solt: which is why my setup is faster and better | 12:05 |
| solt | not always, you are not counting the time to shutdown/reboot/boot/copy | 12:06 |
| fatejudger | solt: ? | 12:06 |
| fatejudger | solt: why would I need to shutdown and reboot? | 12:06 |
| solt | copying directly gives you the opportunity, to copy to the drive, shutdown, and take it some place else :-) | 12:06 |
| h3sp4wn | sebastian: try putting your files in "/home/windows/Windows 2000 Professional" it might be easier for you to dowload VMware Workstation Trial then create the virtual machine and then uninstall it and install VMware player | 12:06 |

| solt | Simian__: well, if you're IP is private (like 192.168.1.2, or 10.2.3.4) then you would need to have a DNAT rule on your router | 12:57 |
| Simian__ | yes it's 192.168.and so on | 12:58 |

| sebastian | it's not being clear where to cd so on | 01:00 |
| solt | linksys, maybe it runs linux..., anyway what you need is to create a mapping | 01:01 |
| solt | let's say your public IP on the router is 150.160.170.180 | 01:01 |
| spiritz | Simian__: you have to connect to the admin website of ur linksys, and tell him to redirect port 80 from public internet to your webserver ip. Or you can type its ip as DMZ, so everything coming from the internet will connect to it. | 01:01 |
| solt | so you have to make it forward packets from 150.160.180.180, port 80 TCP to 192.168.2.3, port 80 TCP | 01:02 |
| solt | yes, like spiritz says | 01:02 |

| solt | if you can't have deb, go for tar.gz | 01:14 |
| solt | it propably contains sources to compile | 01:14 |

| jindiaz | sry styll new, havenmt installed anything like this yet | 01:15 |
| jindiaz | been primarily using adept | 01:15 |
| Phazeman | could someone please try sshing to phazeman.kicks-ass.net | 01:16 |
| Phazeman | ? | 01:16 |
| solt | well, tar.gz file is a compressed archive, which you should extract, and see what's in it | 01:16 |
| solt | it's like zip or rar, so no automatic gizmos there | 01:16 |
| h3sp4wn | sebastian : Yeah you can still access it in linux anyway | 01:16 |
| solt | to uncompress a tar.gz file try in shell: tar zxvf file.tar.gz | 01:17 |
| solt | in case of tar.bz2 type: tar jxvf file.tar.bz2 | 01:17 |
| h3sp4wn | sebastian : Have you never thought of trying to get stuff working and then adding stuff that is not necessary afterwards | 01:17 |
| solt | usually these archives contain sources, and in these there might be an instruction what to do in a file called README, INSTALL or something similar | 01:17 |

| h3sp4wn | sebastian : also games under vmware are dog slow | 01:18 |
| solt | jindiaz: kbarcode is in the repositories, you do not have to do that | 01:18 |

| jindiaz | ? | 02:25 |
| __mikem | do you know what the name of the secondary hd is | 02:25 |
| ryanakca | jindiaz, please be specific | 02:25 |
| jindiaz | tar xzvf kprobe-0.2a.tar.bz2 | 02:25 |
| jindiaz | i put that | 02:25 |
| darkmatter137 | well, in windows its "new volume (F) | 02:25 |
| ryanakca | even though it would be uber uber cool, I cant read your mind | 02:25 |
| ryanakca | ah | 02:26 |
| jindiaz | but it didnt work, how do i make it specfifc to the deskjtiop? | 02:26 |
| __mikem | it is probably hdb | 02:26 |
| jindiaz | hahahahahahaha | 02:26 |
| darkmatter137 | and my main hd is C | 02:26 |
| jindiaz | yah that would be mad helpful | 02:26 |
| darkmatter137 | I tried hdb | 02:26 |
| darkmatter137 | and hdb1 | 02:26 |
| darkmatter137 | but it wouldnt recognize | 02:26 |
| darkmatter137 | :/ | 02:26 |
| __mikem | are you sure those drives are mounted | 02:26 |
| ryanakca | I see, zxvf means extract gzipped file, extract tar file, verbose, use archive file | 02:26 |
| darkmatter137 | is the breezy badger installer easier? | 02:27 |
| darkmatter137 | mounted? | 02:27 |
| __mikem | the breezy badger installer is easier atleast on cd, never tred dvd | 02:27 |
| ryanakca | you want "tar xvfj kprobe-0.2a.tar.bz2" | 02:27 |
| jindiaz | ummmm ok... what does that mean exactly, relative newb here. lol | 02:27 |
| jindiaz | ok let me try that | 02:27 |
| __mikem | mounted means is the hard drive loaded and accessable by the computer | 02:27 |
| __mikem | basicly | 02:27 |
| darkmatter137 | yes | 02:27 |
| darkmatter137 | by my windows system | 02:27 |
| ryanakca | tar zxvf is for whatever.tar.gz , tar xvfj is for whatever.tar.bz2 | 02:27 |

| darkmatter137 | can i change it somehow without opening the case and changing the hardware? | 02:32 |
| __mikem | you should be able to set it as one in the bios | 02:32 |
| darkmatter137 | k | 02:32 |
| darkmatter137 | :) | 02:32 |
| darkmatter137 | that makes me happy | 02:32 |
| __mikem | be careful when your doing that though | 02:32 |
| darkmatter137 | why? | 02:32 |
| __mikem | Id have someone supervise you when your in the bios because if you don't know what your doing you can screw things up badly | 02:32 |
| darkmatter137 | how badly? | 02:33 |

| darkmatter137 | even if im not messing with my windows hard drive? | 02:33 |
| darkmatter137 | I have absolutely nothing on this hard drive | 02:33 |
| __mikem | any mistake you make is reversable | 02:34 |
| darkmatter137 | ok | 02:34 |
| darkmatter137 | what mistakes might I make? | 02:34 |
| darkmatter137 | so I am forewarned | 02:34 |
| __mikem | you might accidently set your primary master as a slave, you might accidently turn on network boot, | 02:34 |
| darkmatter137 | k | 02:35 |
| __mikem | or | 02:35 |
| darkmatter137 | but if i turn primary master to slave, then i just go back and turn it to master | 02:35 |
| darkmatter137 | right? | 02:35 |
| __mikem | yes, anything you do can be reversed, so remember what you did | 02:35 |
| darkmatter137 | k | 02:35 |
| __mikem | and having someone supervise you wouldn't hurt | 02:35 |
| darkmatter137 | i dont have anyone to supervise me | 02:36 |
| darkmatter137 | I wish I did | 02:36 |
| __mikem | do you have the instruction manual | 02:36 |
| darkmatter137 | for my hd or for my motherboard? | 02:36 |
| __mikem | for the bios | 02:37 |
| darkmatter137 | I have the instructions for my motherboard right next to me | 02:37 |
| darkmatter137 | um | 02:37 |
| darkmatter137 | i didnt know there was instructions | 02:37 |
| darkmatter137 | I thought it was universal | 02:37 |
| __mikem | look in the motherboard manual | 02:37 |

| darkmatter137 | chapter 4, bios setup | 02:37 |
| __mikem | briliant | 02:38 |
| frank23 | for what? I think the only way to change a drive from master to slave is to change to jumper on the drive | 02:38 |
| __mikem | only if its specifically jumpered a certain way | 02:38 |
| __mikem | I am hoping that its not set by the jumpers | 02:38 |
| darkmatter137 | if its sata isnt it cable select always? | 02:39 |
| darkmatter137 | i know how to change the jumpers for an ultra ata | 02:39 |
| darkmatter137 | but there are none for sata | 02:39 |

| __mikem | frank123 did you get that | 02:42 |
| frank23 | what is the problem exactly? | 02:42 |
| darkmatter137 | what kind of system? | 02:42 |
| __mikem | he can't get the install cd for drapper to see his secondary hard drive | 02:43 |
| __mikem | I surmised that the drive is probably not designated as a master | 02:43 |
| darkmatter137 | I cant get it to see any hard drive though | 02:43 |
| __mikem | ??? | 02:43 |
| __mikem | any at all | 02:43 |
| darkmatter137 | nope | 02:43 |
| __mikem | not even the main drive | 02:43 |
| darkmatter137 | nope | 02:43 |
| frank23 | darkmatter137: can the 2nd drive be seen by windows? | 02:43 |
| darkmatter137 | frank, yes | 02:43 |
| __mikem | Id say try an install CD at this point as apposed to a dvd because if it doesn't see any of your drives then your bios settings are NOT the issue | 02:44 |
| darkmatter137 | ok | 02:45 |
| frank23 | darkmatter137: my guess is that the hardware setup is correct. the problem might be with the installer, sata controller maybe? | 02:45 |

| darkmatter137 | yeah, im downloading the cd right now | 02:47 |
| darkmatter137 | for breezy | 02:47 |
| darkmatter137 | just go mainstream, hopefully it will be easier | 02:48 |
| __mikem | The CD shouldn't have any such problems | 02:48 |
| __mikem | and should be much easier | 02:48 |
| darkmatter137 | do you know if there is a way to know if my secondary is slave or master from within windows? | 02:48 |
| darkmatter137 | I get nervous talking about bios | 02:48 |
| __mikem | no, but as I said, if its not seeing any of your drives, that may not be the imediate problem | 02:48 |
| darkmatter137 | k | 02:49 |
| __mikem | as far as the breezy cd goes, all you need to do is follow the prompts, and the most difficult thing it will ask you is what language youw want your installation to use by default | 02:49 |
| darkmatter137 | oh, hmm, I dont see the secondary in my boot menu | 02:49 |
| darkmatter137 | could that mean its slave? | 02:49 |
| __mikem | not sure what a "boot menu" is, what do you mean | 02:50 |
| darkmatter137 | like, when I choose which device to boot from, such as live cds | 02:50 |

| __mikem | it depends on how you have it set up, some BIOSes can be configured so it gives you a menu at startup | 02:51 |

| __mikem | yes | 02:52 |
| darkmatter137 | right.. | 02:52 |
| __mikem | as I said, you really need to know what your doing | 02:52 |
| darkmatter137 | so, when I use this installer cd, if its a slave drive, it will tell me? | 02:53 |
| __mikem | if its a slave drive, chances are it won't even show up when it prompts you to choose where to install ubuntu | 02:53 |
| darkmatter137 | ok | 02:53 |
| __mikem | if it shows up, its a good sign | 02:53 |
| frank23 | darkmatter137: you can go into the bios and check though. If you choose exit without saving to exit the bios. there is no way you can screw up anything | 02:54 |
| darkmatter137 | ok | 02:54 |
| darkmatter137 | well, im well into downloading the iso for breezy | 02:54 |
| __mikem | the manual should atleast tell you how to get in | 02:54 |
| darkmatter137 | so ill get that done first | 02:54 |
| __mikem | frank123 I was actually more worried about what would happen if he touched the clock speed | 02:55 |
| darkmatter137 | for my cpu's? | 02:55 |
| __mikem | yes | 02:55 |
| frank23 | well I don't think it's that easy to accidentaly change bios settings | 02:56 |
| __mikem | in my old system, the boot sequence and the clock speed were dubiously placed in the same menu | 02:56 |
| __mikem | I forget what kind it was | 02:56 |

| __mikem | I tried a sudo apt-get install mplayer, and it says package not found | 03:17 |
| kubuntu_noob | thanks... im trying to make sense of th elink frank sent me, thanks! | 03:18 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | funny. in apt-cache search mplayer is shows mplayer | 03:18 |
| frank23 | kubuntu_noob: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDocumentation is great to start with | 03:18 |
| frank23 | !restricted | 03:18 |
| ubotu | [restricted] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats Most of the formats listed here can be replaced by !FreeFormats | 03:18 |
| kubuntu_noob | thanks | 03:18 |
| frank23 | kubuntu_noob: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats has everything about audio/video/dvd/java | 03:19 |
| kubuntu_noob | i guess tonight it will be dedicated to linux till 12 lol | 03:19 |
| sebastian | yep https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats?action=show&redirect=mp3 | 03:19 |
| kubuntu_noob | thanks i really appreciate it | 03:19 |
| sebastian | yep this is the link https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats?action=show&redirect=mp3 | 03:19 |
| kubuntu_noob | ok one question... i dloaded the bin file to my desktop for realplayer | 03:21 |
| kubuntu_noob | i went to properties and checked all the executable and write etc stuff | 03:21 |
| sebastian | don't bother with the actsaul Real realplayer | 03:21 |
| sebastian | just download and get working mplayer | 03:21 |
| sebastian | that will take care of like everything | 03:21 |
| kubuntu_noob | how do i do that? i mean i cant seem to open any file with ./ | 03:22 |
| kubuntu_noob | it keeps telling me the file doesnt exist | 03:22 |
| sebastian | yes MP3's don't just play by default in Kubuntu or Ubuntu | 03:22 |
| sebastian | and many other LInux distros | 03:22 |
| sebastian | ,because of legal reasons. they are patented or whatever | 03:22 |
| sebastian | and same thing with DVD's they won't just play either | 03:23 |
| kubuntu_noob | yeah i know... i checked that with the windows ppl | 03:23 |
| kubuntu_noob | i own windows xp so they said it is fine | 03:23 |
| frank23 | kubuntu_noob: you should install realplayer as explained here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats. you have to cd Desktop to go to the Desktop directory | 03:23 |
| kubuntu_noob | but i need to install win32 codecs... ok before i ask any more stupid questions ill read the link frank sent me | 03:23 |
| sebastian | I tryed to install Relaplayer myself before. and well it's not very uhmmmm nice | 03:23 |
| kubuntu_noob | thank you for your patience guys | 03:23 |
| sebastian | yes install win32 codecs | 03:23 |
| __mikem | sebastian, it aint in my apt-cache, I piped the output of apt-cache pkgnames through grep mplayer and couldn't find any | 03:24 |
| __mikem | just so you know | 03:24 |
| frank23 | kubuntu_noob: it may be "morally" fine. but I'm sure it's still not legally fine at least in the US. I doubt anybody cares about that though (including Microsoft) | 03:24 |

| CheeseBurgerMan | It has to disconnect from the server. | 03:30 |
| kubuntu_noob | should i follow the link u sen tme? | 03:30 |
| michael__ | unless it times out, it isn't going to disconect on its own | 03:31 |
| frank23 | kubuntu_noob: first learn to use adept (link) and add universe and multiverse (2nd link) | 03:31 |
| kubuntu_noob | thanks alot frank... | 03:31 |
| kubuntu_noob | they insturctions are very clear | 03:31 |
| kubuntu_noob | ok will do! | 03:31 |
| kubuntu_noob | :) | 03:31 |
| kubuntu_noob | :D | 03:31 |
| frank23 | kubuntu_noob: after that you can install mplayer (and about 15000 other packages) with adept | 03:32 |
| kubuntu_noob | i did try and install some mp3 library codes etc... earlier | 03:32 |
| kubuntu_noob | but the mp3s still didnt run... i need the win32 codecs i think... the manager prob doesnt have them to download | 03:33 |
| kubuntu_noob | but yeah now im getting the hang of this... | 03:33 |
| kubuntu_noob | noe trying to install th emultiverse thing :) | 03:33 |
| frank23 | kubuntu_noob: for mp3s, did you try to follow the restrictedformats page? | 03:34 |

| CheeseBurgerMan | lol | 03:36 |
| kubuntu_noob | the thing just popped out of nowehere | 03:36 |
| frank23 | kubuntu_noob: all the sudo apt-get install stuff can be done with adept. they do the same thing: install programs from the repositories | 03:36 |
| ___mikem | sebastian check the user id of me and __mikem, they both say n=michael@201-106.24.70.tampabay.res.rr.com | 03:36 |
| sebastian | yep LInux is about typing commands in for loads of stuff. so start getting used to it now Kubuntu noob | 03:36 |
| sebastian | I was joking when I said I was a moderater. mikem | 03:37 |
| kubuntu_noob | one question what are respositories? | 03:37 |
| kubuntu_noob | just for info | 03:37 |
| === GNU_Style [n=gfx@203.177.244.103] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| sebastian | uhmmmmm basically | 03:37 |
| ___mikem | THats a real bummer, because there is no irc client currently connected to __mikem, I can guarintee you | 03:37 |
| sebastian | places where you can download stuff | 03:37 |
| sebastian | programs | 03:38 |
| sebastian | servers where you can download the programs from | 03:38 |
| kubuntu_noob | so its like a holding place... which have small programs in them | 03:38 |
| kubuntu_noob | u can dload as u need them? | 03:38 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | The repositories are places where you download the packages, then apt will automatically install them. | 03:38 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | yup | 03:38 |
| frank23 | kubuntu_noob: servers that contain programs for ubuntu. apt is the package management system for ubuntu. | 03:38 |
| kubuntu_noob | ahhh | 03:38 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | adept is a GUI for apt | 03:38 |
| kubuntu_noob | so ubuntu.com or whatever stores all these little programs we all make to add on | 03:38 |
| kubuntu_noob | niceee | 03:39 |
| kubuntu_noob | so this think keeps improving all the time... | 03:39 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | Well, they only store certain programs, but basically, yes. | 03:39 |
| kubuntu_noob | shit... so much more power than windows | 03:39 |
| frank23 | kubuntu_noob: not just little programs. A large part of all open source software is in there. 15000 packages | 03:39 |
| kubuntu_noob | ahh i see | 03:39 |
| frank23 | kubuntu_noob: if something is not there, it usually means, it's new, unstable or that not many people use it | 03:40 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | Usually new | 03:41 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | ;) | 03:41 |
| darkmatter137 | hello again | 03:41 |
| sebastian | yep open source is more powerful then Windows and that | 03:41 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | Such as the rather annoying Firefox 1.5.0.1 not being there. :\ | 03:41 |
| __mikem | ok, looks like the account timed out | 03:41 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | yup | 03:41 |
| kubuntu_noob | one thing i dont get is why arent there any vruses or secutrity holes on linux bases os... | 03:41 |
| sebastian | you can install Firefox 1.5.0.1 Cheese Buger Man inside your Kbuntu | 03:41 |
| kubuntu_noob | i mean with all this power and access... | 03:41 |
| kubuntu_noob | u guys can do whatever u want | 03:41 |
| __mikem | because virus writers count on the fact that most people use windows | 03:42 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | sebastian: I tried, but it told me it needed a lib that I already had. | 03:42 |
| kubuntu_noob | sorry but im really curious | 03:42 |
| darkmatter137 | maybe becuase insidious hackers use linux, and like linux peeps :) | 03:42 |
| sebastian | well I got Firefox 1.5.0.1 on my Ubuntu. I followeed a nice wiki page | 03:42 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | and because anyone can get to the code, people can patch security flaws without being part of the 'official tema' | 03:42 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | team* | 03:42 |
| sebastian | there have been some virus's for Linux | 03:42 |
| sebastian | ,but | 03:42 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | I followed the wiki page too, and got the same error | 03:42 |
| sebastian | they tend to stay in the lab | 03:42 |
| kubuntu_noob | ahhh i see... so open source can go both ways | 03:43 |
| frank23 | kubuntu_noob: and even the holes that do exist tend to cause less damage because user programs are run with user priviledge while Windows home users run everything as administrator | 03:43 |
| darkmatter137 | hehehe | 03:43 |
| __mikem | most vulnerabilities in linux stem from buffer overruns based on what I heard | 03:43 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | frank23: not all windows users run as admin - I don't, and setup my mom so she doesn't either. ;) | 03:43 |
| kubuntu_noob | lol | 03:43 |
| frank23 | CheeseBurgerMan: You're not the average home windows user then ;) | 03:43 |
| __mikem | I run as admin on my windows machine | 03:43 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | lol | 03:44 |
| darkmatter137 | admin allows you to gain access to almost any computer easily | 03:44 |
| kubuntu_noob | i dont think ur mom would be the cause of spyware or viruses | 03:44 |
| kubuntu_noob | lol | 03:44 |
| __mikem | I am actually using vmware to run ubuntu right now | 03:44 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | kubuntu_noob: Regardless, it's still safter. ;) | 03:44 |
| kubuntu_noob | lol | 03:44 |
| sebastian | well I been trying to get VMware player | 03:44 |
| sebastian | working this evening | 03:44 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | __mikem: VMWare is a bit slow on my comp (at least with Windows, not installed it in Linux) | 03:44 |
| darkmatter137 | do i need to use a firewall with linux? | 03:44 |
| sebastian | so I can install 2k pro inside Ubuntu :) | 03:44 |
| darkmatter137 | or antivirus? | 03:44 |
| sebastian | Ubuntu has a anti virus | 03:45 |
| sebastian | there are some anti virus's for Linux | 03:45 |
| sebastian | just in case | 03:45 |
| sebastian | and yes it is a good idea to use a firewall if your using it on The Internet | 03:45 |
| sebastian | whatever operating system you are using | 03:45 |
| __mikem | You shouldn't try running vmware server because that is very slow | 03:45 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | Which you are. ;) | 03:45 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | __mikem: I didn't. It was the VMware player | 03:45 |
| __mikem | but vmware workstation version works fine | 03:45 |
| sebastian | VMware player | 03:45 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | my 'puter just isn't the fastest. :) | 03:45 |
| kubuntu_noob | not running a firewall on this os... but windows i have zonelabs | 03:45 |
| __mikem | I use vmware workstation | 03:45 |
| sebastian | ,but Gnome or whatever is being stupid. and keeps on turning my Virtual Machine file into a text file at the moment | 03:46 |
| sebastian | hummmmmmm | 03:46 |
| kubuntu_noob | i think the university server im on right now has its own firewall in place too | 03:46 |
| MaterMaravillae | __mikem: how much ram have you got? | 03:46 |
| kubuntu_noob | i gb | 03:46 |
| kubuntu_noob | 1gb | 03:46 |
| frank23 | darkmatter137: antivirus is basically useless. Firewall... can be useful but by default ubuntu has no open ports that can accept connections | 03:46 |
| __mikem | I only have 512mb right now | 03:46 |
| sebastian | yes I expect they have a firewall your uni | 03:46 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | Yeah, I've only got 512MB | 03:46 |
| darkmatter137 | ok | 03:46 |
| darkmatter137 | wait | 03:46 |
| darkmatter137 | if ubuntu has no open ports | 03:46 |
| darkmatter137 | how do you use bittorent? | 03:46 |
| MaterMaravillae | ok, ty. im trying vmware right now and ive got 512, and i didnt know if it was enough | 03:46 |
| __mikem | Firewall is good if you are running ubuntu on a server | 03:47 |
| frank23 | darkmatter137: well bittorrent opens those ports but you need them opened anyways. | 03:47 |
| darkmatter137 | ah, i c | 03:47 |
| sebastian | whatever operating system if your using it on the internet. you should have a firewall | 03:47 |
| __mikem | we are all closet vmware users and now we are all coming out? | 03:47 |

| darkmatter137 | once i have it installed, how will I boot into kubuntu since my winxp is my main | 03:48 |
| kubuntu_noob | im adding it... but would like to know exactly what they are | 03:48 |
| sebastian | nope 2k pro is a pirate :d | 03:48 |
| __mikem | I got my copy of vmware workstation lagitimately | 03:48 |

| __mikem | could someone explain what kde is to kubuntu_noob, I would but I don't know how to explain it | 03:52 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | Hmm | 03:52 |
| tonyyarusso | __mikem: I'll give it a shot. | 03:53 |
| __mikem | ok | 03:53 |
| sebastian | so will I | 03:53 |
| === CheeseBurgerMan will supplement | ||
| CheeseBurgerMan | :P | 03:53 |
| __mikem | lol | 03:53 |
| sebastian | Linux is all about choice Kubuntu noob | 03:53 |
| tonyyarusso | kubuntu_noob: You coming from a Windows background? (I'm making an assumption, correct me if I'm wrong.) | 03:53 |
| frank23 | kubuntu_noob: kde is the desktop environment you're using. If you had ubuntu, you would be using gnome instead and things would look quite different on your screen | 03:53 |
| kubuntu_noob | yeah | 03:53 |
| sebastian | there are loads of Desktop Environments Graphical User Interfaces to choose from on Linux | 03:53 |
| kubuntu_noob | ahhh guis | 03:54 |
| sebastian | KDE is the most populast apparanatlly | 03:54 |
| __mikem | enlightenment | 03:54 |
| __mikem | xfce, kde gnome | 03:54 |
| sebastian | and Gnome is the second | 03:54 |
| kubuntu_noob | :) | 03:54 |
| sebastian | and XFCE is the 3rd I Think | 03:54 |
| __mikem | cde (for you old time unix users) | 03:54 |
| kubuntu_noob | so kubuntu runs on kde? | 03:54 |
| frank23 | sebastian: yeah but gnome is more popular among (k)ubuntu users | 03:54 |
| __mikem | kde runs on kubuntu | 03:54 |
| __mikem | actually | 03:54 |
| kubuntu_noob | lol yeah | 03:54 |
| sebastian | Kubuntu uses KDE by default. and Ubuntu uses Gnome by default | 03:54 |
| __mikem | linux is just the kernel | 03:54 |
| __mikem | the kernel is like a car engine | 03:55 |
| kubuntu_noob | that makes sense! | 03:55 |
| tonyyarusso | kubuntu_noob: When you logged into Windows, you had a pretty little interface, with the Start menu, clock, My Computer, and all that kind of stuff that made up the desktop. That sort of package deal is similar to a desktop environment like KDE (though not quite the same, because there's all sorts of little components to compare too). | 03:55 |
| kubuntu_noob | yeah i got it... thanks | 03:55 |
| kubuntu_noob | i feel a lot smarter now | 03:55 |
| kubuntu_noob | lol | 03:55 |
| tonyyarusso | kubuntu_noob: Wonderful! | 03:55 |
| __mikem | you need more than just an engine to get around | 03:55 |
| __mikem | you need more than just a kernel to use your computer | 03:55 |
| === Jaymac [n=Jaymac@host81-129-64-113.range81-129.btcentralplus.com] has left #kubuntu ["Leaving"] | ||
| sebastian | and Gnome is more user fridnly then KE I reckon. and of course since this is the Kubuntu channel here I guess loads of people here disagree or whatever | 03:55 |
| sebastian | user friendly that is | 03:56 |
| sebastian | and KDE | 03:56 |
| sebastian | not KE | 03:56 |
| __mikem | different distributions of linux use different software to interface with the kernel, just like different cars have different bodies and still use the same engine | 03:56 |
| __mikem | its what I like to call a modular opperating system | 03:56 |
| sebastian | there are also loads of file managers for Linux | 03:56 |
| sebastian | Kubuntu noob | 03:56 |
| sebastian | KDE uses Konquerer which is also a browser. Gnome uses Natuilus | 03:57 |
| __mikem | because things like the desktop environment, the package managers, and stuff like that are like moduals to the kernal | 03:57 |
| sebastian | and there is even a file manager which is rather much like Windows :d :) | 03:57 |
| __mikem | is that a good synopsis | 03:57 |
| tonyyarusso | kubuntu_noob: Main difference on that front Linux vs. Windows - you have a choice. And you can run more than one. WinXP you basically get one desktop, and can either theme it as XP or Classic. Here, you can have KDE, Gnome, XFCE, IceWM, Fluxbox, Openbox, Motif, and some others all installed at the same time, and if you really feel like it, all running at the same time. | 03:57 |
| __mikem | motif is just a window manager, | 03:57 |
| sebastian | XP with 3rd party programs can theme it as well | 03:58 |
| tonyyarusso | __mikem: True, nm. | 03:58 |
| __mikem | XFCE is also just a window manager but it works nicely with gdm | 03:58 |
| tonyyarusso | kubuntu_noob: Things like Konqueror and Nautilus would be roughly equivalent to Windows Explorer (not to be confused with Internet Explorer, although Konq. fulfills that role too, but not Nautilus) | 03:59 |
| sebastian | Linux is about choice being able to choose what you want to use for like everything. where as Windows is about vender lockin and well having to use there shit | 03:59 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | their | 03:59 |
| tonyyarusso | __mikem: Speaking of which, how can I get desktop icons and such in XFCE? | 03:59 |
| __mikem | I don't know, I found xfce difficult to use when I tried it | 03:59 |
| tonyyarusso | CheeseBurgerMan: Thank you for nabbing that one :) | 03:59 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | My pleasure. :P | 03:59 |
| __mikem | its nice, but as I said, difficult to use | 04:00 |
| kubuntu_noob | yeah konquerer i understood was a web browser | 04:00 |
| sebastian | it still is | 04:00 |
| kubuntu_noob | lol | 04:00 |
| sebastian | Konquerer is both | 04:00 |
| kubuntu_noob | hahaha | 04:00 |
| tonyyarusso | kubuntu_noob: Yes, and a filesystem browser at the same time. | 04:00 |
| __mikem | conquer is as I said like windows explorer because like windows explorer, it is both a windows manager and a web browser | 04:00 |
| === Snake|ONAIR [n=Snake@adsl-65-43-144-158.dsl.bcvloh.ameritech.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| kubuntu_noob | so its like ie... | 04:00 |
| sebastian | yes in a way | 04:00 |
| __mikem | yup | 04:00 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | Yeah, but cooler. :P | 04:01 |
| tonyyarusso | kubuntu_noob: Except it works and won't expose you to every security hole known to man. | 04:01 |
| Snake|ONAIR | Can I intrest anyone in tuning into my radio. I got 3 spots lef on the server. It's predominatly rock, but theres going to be a 30 min techno block coming up. Anyone intrested? | 04:01 |
| sebastian | ,but unlike IE, because of it's link to Explorer. well the whole of Windows crashes then. anwyay with KOnquerer if Konquerer crashes | 04:01 |
| sebastian | the whole of Linux won't crash | 04:01 |
| __mikem | The only reason why I don't use kde is because for some reason it won't run on my machines at resolutions higher than 1024x768 | 04:01 |
| __mikem | I always hated that about IE | 04:02 |
| beefsprocket | is there a way to remove all mimetype associations and revert to the default? | 04:02 |

| __mikem | Long live Firefox | 04:02 |
| Snake|ONAIR | Opera for life | 04:02 |
| __mikem | lets not start any cola wars in here | 04:03 |
| kubuntu_noob | where is the repositories option in adept? | 04:03 |
| sebastian | IE is shit. stops the whole Internet from becoming much better, because of it's lack of web standards suppourt | 04:03 |
| sebastian | as in the webpage coding it suppourts and how. Yep lack of CSS so on | 04:03 |
| sebastian | suppourt | 04:03 |
| __mikem | microsoft claims that it can't not include ie with windows even though they were told they needed to stop | 04:03 |
| === tonyyarusso laughs every time the EU hits them with more fines | ||
| sebastian | IE 7 will be a slight improvement, but not a good enough one. and by the way IE 7 has tabs | 04:04 |

| tonyyarusso | sebastian: So I've heard, but a little late. | 04:04 |

| Snake|ONAIR | wrong* | 04:04 |
| __mikem | yup, the amazing thing is, as bad as microsoft is, Mac is getting to be worse | 04:04 |

| sebastian | apparantlly Mac OS X has the best GUI though? | 04:05 |
| __mikem | definitely | 04:05 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | never used it | 04:06 |
| sebastian | I have seen it in videos and stuff. damn I want a Mac | 04:06 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | ;) | 04:06 |
| __mikem | beefsprocket, try uninstalling and reinstalling all the mime types | 04:06 |
| sebastian | thing is with open source. I mean come on. surely they can make something better than Mac OS X's GUI? | 04:07 |
| __mikem | IT would be nice if we could have open source music | 04:07 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | Well, I know those who would say that open source has made something better than OS X's GUI | 04:07 |
| CheeseBurgerMan | But that's the same guy who makes bash scripts for fun. | 04:07 |
| __mikem | CheeseBurgerMan, apple is very good at GUI Design | 04:08 |

| __mikem | most people will say that Macs are better at graphic design than a PC will ever be | 04:10 |
| sebastian | ,but they forced people to buy there hardware | 04:10 |
| sebastian | hence why Mac OS X | 04:10 |

| GNU_Style | how to do that? | 05:55 |

| poningru | luansheng: what do you mean? | 07:26 |
| luansheng | my meaning is that how to clean the ubuntu for making it thin because my diskspace is very pretty | 07:26 |
| poningru | I still dont understand what you mean | 07:26 |
| poningru | rm -r ~/.Trash/* | 07:26 |
| poningru | just go do that | 07:26 |
| luansheng | ok | 07:27 |
| luansheng | let me try | 07:27 |
| poningru | what exactly do you want to do? | 07:27 |
| poningru | why not just go in konq and delete the stuff in that file? | 07:27 |
| luansheng | I want to make get more disk space | 07:27 |
| poningru | then just go delete it | 07:28 |
| luansheng | how to delete the stuff? poningru | 07:28 |
| nalioth | ubotu: tell luansheng about cli | 07:28 |
| poningru | but no I am sure we can resolve this without cli | 07:28 |
| poningru | he simply wants to delete the stuff from his trash | 07:28 |
| poningru | in konq | 07:29 |
| poningru | go to ~/.Trash | 07:29 |
| poningru | select them all and delete | 07:29 |
| luansheng | no, i want to get more diskspace | 07:29 |
| poningru | buy a new hard disk | 07:29 |
| poningru | OH | 07:29 |
| poningru | I think I understand what you are saying | 07:29 |
| poningru | you dont want all the extra packages that are installed by default in kubuntu? | 07:30 |
| Red_Herring | anyone have a spare hard drive? | 07:30 |

| kosh | actually most of the reasons that windows has problems now is hardware and software that is not part of the os | 09:49 |
| kosh | ie norton software can bring anything to its knees | 09:49 |
| kosh | and a bad power supply will screw over anything | 09:49 |
| kosh | and most people have very bad pos power supplies | 09:49 |
| kosh | just because something says 300W and your computer only need 200W does not mean it will work since the cheap power supplies seem to become unstable at half their rated power or so | 09:50 |
| kosh | so your video card goes under voltage during load, generates something weird as a result, the driver freaks out and windows dies | 09:50 |

| Wingede | ty hatake_kakashi | 09:56 |
| kosh | my point though it that windows is not as bad as many people make it out to be stability wise | 09:57 |
| kosh | since w2k whenever I have found a windows box constantly crashing it has almost always been hardware | 09:57 |
| mornfall | no, but they are horrible usability-wise -- at least for a long time kde/unix person | 09:57 |
| kosh | or something like starforce | 09:57 |
| kosh | I have been using kde since one of the betas before 1.0 | 09:57 |
| kosh | and I have used linux for all my desktop and work stuff for about 10 years now | 09:58 |
| kosh | I just have windows for games | 09:58 |
| mornfall | i can't get a grip on a system that doesn't resize windows on alt-drag | 09:58 |
| kosh | however I like accuracy of information and I still have had to deal with windows boxes | 09:58 |
| Psi-Jack | Heh, StarForce. Most annoying thing for legit buyers. | 09:58 |
| hatake_kakashi | bad programming and/or corporate greed has more or less cause the instability of windows | 09:58 |
| mornfall | or move them | 09:58 |
| heinkel_111 | kosh...i think that windows for games will change | 09:58 |
| heinkel_111 | sometime soon | 09:58 |

| Psi-Jack | reon: Shithot, eh? That's a new term for webster. :) | 09:58 |
| kosh | well if I had nvidia cards on this box instead of ati I would probably try to do the games more under linux | 09:59 |
| heinkel_111 | 64 bit linux is just more effective...i don't know why performance hungry gamers use a 2nd rate OS | 09:59 |
| reon | lol | 09:59 |
| Psi-Jack | reon: I've been waiting for it to release before actually going with it. | 09:59 |

| mornfall | kosh: did i mention the shell being useless? :) | 09:59 |
| mornfall | etc | 09:59 |
| mornfall | every now and then i have to do something to some windows box | 09:59 |
| kosh | I like to know the truth about various products not just the bs that people repeat on forums | 09:59 |
| mornfall | and more time passes the more lost i get :) | 09:59 |
| hatake_kakashi | you can still play games on linux via ATI, but your options maybe limited. However, I am soon to test that theory fully out | 09:59 |
| reon | Psi-Jack: I installed it yesterday and I must say it looks much better than breezy and also feels way faster | 10:00 |
| reon | and i havent even updated my nvidia drivers yet | 10:00 |
| Psi-Jack | reon: Did you clean install? heh | 10:00 |
| Psi-Jack | Xorg 7, mind you, itself is a bit faster, so that makes some difference. | 10:00 |
| Psi-Jack | Beyond that, I don't see how it could be any faster ,unless the kernel was compiled differently, with more desktop-oriented settings. | 10:00 |
| reon | Psi-Jack: Yes, I basically said _uck it and popped the cd in | 10:01 |
| Psi-Jack | reon: That's why it seemed faster, then, most likely. | 10:01 |
| Psi-Jack | A clean system always feels faster. :) | 10:01 |

| kosh | hatake_kakashi: I have two radeon cards, the binary ati driver will only activate one of them, that is true under linux and windows | 10:05 |

| hatake_kakashi | kosh: crossfire? | 10:05 |
| Psi-Jack-v2 | Well, one of the big reasons, out of all the other binary-based distributions of Linux there are, why I chose Kubuntu, was because of dist-upgrade. | 10:05 |
| kosh | hatake_kakashi: so I can't use it with 3d, I already checked with nvidia and they sent me a config file for running two of their cards at a time with 4 monitors and 3d accel on all of them | 10:05 |
| kosh | hatake_kakashi: no I have an x850 and a 9250 | 10:06 |
| hatake_kakashi | ahh | 10:06 |
| kosh | hatake_kakashi: if the cards are different the ati driver won't start both of them | 10:06 |
| Psi-Jack | And, so, when I upgrade to dapper, it'll be dist-upgraded to it. | 10:06 |
| kosh | hatake_kakashi: so my next upgrade is definitely to nvidia which not only has a far better documented driver but when I asked the question I got a config file | 10:06 |
| kosh | hatake_kakashi: my point about windows though is people nail them for so much crap that is their own fault instead of looking at what they do right and also nailing them for what they really did do wrong | 10:07 |
| hatake_kakashi | kosh: afaik, the last I heard is that they use optimisation codes to rig the benchmarks against ATI, some rumors are still floating around declaring that is true | 10:07 |
| reon | I just had a though. You know when you can't always remember a command. It would be nice to have a feature similair to Cisco IOS cli. You can start typing what you think the command is follow by a question mark and it will give you all commands that start like that. | 10:07 |
| kosh | hatake_kakashi: like naling them for their crappy file locking system, the fragmentation issue for long running processes and realloc etc | 10:07 |
| kosh | hatake_kakashi: ati just got nailed for cheating in 3dmark06 also | 10:08 |
| kosh | hatake_kakashi: however I don't care about the benchmarks, I want quad head xinerama with opengl acceleration | 10:08 |
| kosh | hatake_kakashi: so I can use aigl or xgl to offload tasks to the video cards that the cpu are currently doing | 10:09 |
| hatake_kakashi | kosh: yeah then in that case Nvidia is better | 10:09 |
| kosh | hatake_kakashi: quad head is fairly cpu intensive | 10:09 |
| kosh | however while windows is not a very good os, linux and bsd are only slightly better ,none of them will ever be very reliable or secure without a complete redesign | 10:11 |

| mornfall | and a dos that allows shutting down zope with forged headers | 10:44 |
| kosh | you can call the method but the return from the method is checked for security and it gets blocked for that | 10:44 |

| kosh | mornfall: they are objects but they don't allow alteration for predictability | 11:43 |
| mornfall | kosh: when i get something i don't know what it is (just an object), can i add my methods to it? | 11:44 |
| kosh | mornfall: so take what you got from someone else and turn it into another object like make a mylist and hand it the list object | 11:44 |
| mornfall | kosh: what happens if that someone returns a tuple instead? | 11:44 |
| locomorto | ok whoever said the flash drive would save money over time (lower power consumption) | 11:44 |
| kosh | mornfall: the reason that all the built in stuff can not be altered is so you don't have a situation where a string object does not behave like a string object, if something is going to be different it has to be different | 11:44 |
| kosh | locomorto: I did | 11:45 |
| locomorto | total cost of a typical hardrive running 24/7 for 6 years is ((30 x 24 x 365 x 6) / 1 000) * .14 = $AU 220.75200 | 11:45 |
| mornfall | kosh: right, but that is a poor substitute for type safety that is also very limiting :) | 11:45 |
| kosh | mornfall: you can wrap it in anything, you could make a trivial wrapper class | 11:45 |
| locomorto | It took so long because I had to check how much it costs per kilowatt hour | 11:45 |
| kosh | mornfall: the whole thing is still type safe, the reason for not altering built ins has nothing to do with type safety | 11:45 |
| locomorto | Note, that is pricing in australia, not america so it may be less/more then the exchange rate | 11:46 |
| kosh | mornfall: it is the same reason python does not have a macro system yet, it won't be added until a way can be figured out for it not to change behavior of code without it looking different | 11:46 |
| kosh | locomorto: the more heat you product the more cooling you need also, so a hard drive burns energy in the power it takes it but also in the power it takes to cool it, you also have a problem of a far higher failure rate which has to be averaged into the cost for running it | 11:47 |
| mornfall | kosh: but why is that only limited to bulitin types? if a library has its type it is ok to twist and change it to your liking but not a bultin? what's so special about builtins | 11:47 |
| kosh | locomorto: and you also have the issue of it taking more hard drives to get the same performance out of the database | 11:47 |
| kosh | mornfall: it is so the language is predictable, you can't change the language structures either | 11:47 |

| kosh | locomorto: you should get at least a 3x boost out of it if not a little more since all seeks are constant time | 11:50 |
| kosh | mornfall: you can pass any kind of comparison function you want | 11:51 |
| kosh | locomorto: databases are largely random access io which is a worse case for a regular hard drive | 11:52 |
| ganymed_ | does anybody know why kvpnc asks for a user password on the debug console, though the password is entered in the conf dialogue? | 11:52 |
| mornfall | kosh: hmm, what's the python sorted container called i can't seem to find it :| | 11:52 |
| kosh | list | 11:52 |
| mornfall | sorted as in sorted | 11:53 |
| mornfall | ascending/descending, iterable in sorted order after insertion | 11:53 |
| === JakubS [n=qba@azk210.internetdsl.tpnet.pl] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| mornfall | something like std::set -- you need sorted sets of items all the time | 11:53 |
| kosh | I don't know of a built in for that however you can use a list for that, you can sort the list, it will retain its order and you can do sorted insertions | 11:54 |
| mornfall | *blink* | 11:54 |
| mornfall | so i have to write own sorted set? well at least the builtin one does not suffer from the sort-order specification problem | 11:54 |
| kosh | to be honest I can't think of a single time in the last 10 years when a datatype like what you describe would be useful to me | 11:55 |
| simian | i think that i have forwarded all trafic from port 80 to 192.168.2.102 but when i enter my ip address i just get some info about my router | 11:55 |

| kosh | mornfall: in the last few years all items I want sorted I use a generator with so I only have on in existance at a time | 11:55 |
| kosh | mornfall: or coding in a very different way | 11:55 |
| mornfall | kosh: binary search trees are very fundamental | 11:55 |
| mornfall | in algorithm design | 11:55 |
| mornfall | it gives you lots of nice asymptotic guarantees | 11:56 |
| kosh | mornfall: for instance I will pull a list of records from a db but it will be sorted when I get them and I will iterate over them as I go | 11:56 |
| mornfall | well, i guess people nowadays use sql to do intersections on data sets | 11:56 |
| sniff | what program can i use to convert a dvd to... say... divx/xvid? | 11:56 |
| kosh | most of the time I don't sort anything | 11:56 |
| kosh | mornfall: a round trip to the database is so expensive it is far faster for you to tell the database to do as much of the work as possible and just hand you the set to work with | 11:57 |
| mornfall | it's been long time since i wrote a program that did not use sorted container :) | 11:57 |
| mornfall | kosh: i don't work with databases -- sql is not flexible enough most of the time and as you say, roundtrips are too expensive | 11:57 |
| kosh | mornfall: I recently replaced a system that had about 1000 lines of sql in one query and did over a hundred round trips to the database, the new query is about 20-30 lines and makes no round trips just a single call | 11:58 |

| mornfall | and i don't take your python from you, many bondage and discipline languages are very successful (java and python among others) -- management loves languages that enforce policies | 12:03 |
| kosh | the most freeform language would be lisp | 12:03 |
| kosh | however everyone defines bondage and discipline differently | 12:04 |
| mornfall | lisp and perl :) | 12:04 |
| mornfall | and probably ruby, it is also very freeform | 12:04 |
| kosh | I certainly think that c++,c and java define stuff far more strictly then python does | 12:04 |
| mornfall | and c++ -- which is why i don't know why it is so widely used in business apps | 12:04 |
| kosh | lisp is more freeform then ruby and perl are | 12:04 |
| mornfall | yes and no | 12:04 |
| mornfall | lisp has no syntax | 12:05 |
| kosh | actually there are ways in python that you could redefine some of the basic things, however if you do it you will probalby end up being shot | 12:05 |
| mornfall | perl and ruby have lots of syntax | 12:05 |
| kosh | it is possible although not advised and not very well documented but you can modify the parse tree in python | 12:05 |
| mornfall | it may also break with new version, may it not? | 12:06 |

| VRWarper | then left | 01:02 |
| VRWarper | :D i decided that ill continue on monday | 01:02 |
| Sechs | U can make partitions too with 300 giga like me : one for XP, on for Linux and one for datas | 01:02 |
| _mindspin | or wipe out XP at all which seems for me the best solution ;-) | 01:03 |
| Sechs | Well i think XP will say good bye soon anyway | 01:03 |
| Sechs | :D | 01:03 |
| crrj | If I were installing XP on a drive that size I'd have about a 50 gig partition for the OS then the rest for data. That way if the OS gets hosed you don't have to worry about the data in a reformat. | 01:04 |

| JakubS | mornfall: i thought this chipset is only used in laptops | 01:17 |
| mornfall | JakubS: and i guess it's not the right game for a laptop | 01:17 |
| VRWarper | why amd64 why oh why >< | 01:17 |
| mornfall | JakubS: hmm | 01:17 |
| Sechs | lol | 01:17 |

| Sechs | I'm not sure now...i only know it's a sempron 3000 | 01:18 |
| JakubS | mornfall: yes, it is almost the same | 01:18 |
| Sechs | How do i know if it's amd64 or i386 ?...mine should be amd64 right ? | 01:18 |

| Blippe | Sechs, in konsole "cat /proc/cpuinfo" | 01:29 |

| Chousuke | don't use automatix | 04:40 |
| n3storm | Chousuke: late for me, any way to go back? | 04:41 |
| _martin | n3storm: the m/f CX 6xxx devices? | 04:41 |
| Sechs | So dont tell me XP isnt more simple... | 04:41 |
| Chousuke | Sechs: Well, if Java was free, you could just aptitude install java. :) | 04:41 |
| n3storm | _martin: thats right | 04:41 |
| _warren | i just started using kubutu and it is alot of work to try and duplicat what comes natural to win xp | 04:41 |
| zerovertex | Sechs try one more think Automatix http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=138405 | 04:42 |
| n3storm | _martin: have a look at this url | 04:42 |
| Chousuke | Sechs: but it's not, and sun doesn't even allow you to distribute it, so... | 04:42 |
| zerovertex | err..thing | 04:42 |
| Chousuke | !automatix | 04:42 |
| ubotu | automatix is, like, unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation. | 04:42 |
| Chousuke | !easyubuntu | 04:42 |
| ubotu | easyubuntu is an easy-to-use program for installing all your favorites. Java, Nvidia/ATI, and more. It is as safe as the team can make it. It doesn't change any settings by default. http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ or #easyubuntu | 04:42 |
| n3storm | http://www.avasys.jp/english/linux_e/index.html | 04:42 |
| zerovertex | well, Automatix worked like a champ for me. | 04:42 |
| Chousuke | but it's unsafe. | 04:42 |
| Sechs | how does easy ubuntu works ? | 04:43 |
| zerovertex | I didn't know that | 04:43 |
| _martin | n3storm: ok, great. If I can't stretch to the 100 ($180) or so for a m/f device, any specific version number of a scanner-only device you know of that works OOTB? | 04:43 |

| Chousuke | Personally I find Linux and Ubuntu to be much more usable than windows. :P | 04:44 |
| Sechs | O rly ? Then why can't i install something after hours of Googling ? | 04:44 |
| _warren | I realize that ..but simple things like scanners and cd should be a problem for any os | 04:44 |
| Sechs | No seriously, some things are still a little hard | 04:44 |
| glick | kubuntu is a Unix OS | 04:44 |
| glick | what do you expect dude? | 04:44 |
| Chousuke | Ubuntu has always worked like a charm for me. | 04:45 |
| zerovertex | Sechs, is there a Linux User group in your area | 04:45 |
| noteventime | Me too | 04:45 |
| Chousuke | then again, I haven't used windows in two years. | 04:45 |
| Sechs | Nope zero | 04:45 |
| Mi|o | :/ i'm not having look with java :P | 04:45 |
| Chousuke | Sechs: Try easyubuntu. | 04:45 |
| Sechs | k... | 04:45 |
| glick | _warren: i mean what do you want? | 04:45 |
| Mi|o | is better automatix | 04:45 |
| Mi|o | i guess :P | 04:46 |
| zerovertex | Sechs, I suggest finding the closest LUG and join the mailing list so you can meet others that are using Linux and learn from them. | 04:46 |
| _warren | does easy ubuntu have to be installed or is it lurking within the os somewhere? | 04:46 |
| zerovertex | I'll have to give easyubuntu a try also | 04:46 |
| _warren | downloaded i mean | 04:46 |
| Chousuke | I think easyubuntu was created because some ubuntu devs decided that automatix is unsafe. | 04:46 |
| Chousuke | _warren: it's not installed by default. read the wiki page. | 04:46 |
| sniff | !easyubuntu | 04:46 |

| Mi|o | where is that software sniff ? | 04:48 |
| Chousuke | _warren: save as. | 04:48 |
| _warren | k ty | 04:48 |
| Chousuke | _warren: then you need to do those commands shown in the page in the terminal | 04:49 |
| sniff | Mi|o: which software? | 04:49 |
| _warren | ok i will try now:) | 04:49 |
| Chousuke | _warren: in fact, you didn't have to download the package with firefox at all :P | 04:49 |
| Chousuke | since the terminal instructions include wget. | 04:49 |
| Chousuke | which downloads the package. | 04:49 |
| _warren | lol | 04:50 |
| Kr4t05 | Eh | 04:50 |
| Mi|o | the software that you wrote sniff | 04:50 |
| sniff | so just skip the wget part right | 04:50 |
| Kr4t05 | I can't get Kmid to work properly. | 04:50 |
| sniff | ah | 04:50 |
| _warren | ok i will let the terminal download it | 04:50 |
| sniff | Mi|o: it's on my computer :) | 04:50 |
| Kr4t05 | I try to play a file and I get no output. | 04:50 |
| Mi|o | come on, what about the linux spirit? :P | 04:50 |
| Chousuke | _warren: learning your way around the terminal pays off. | 04:50 |
| Chousuke | _warren: it's more complicated than the GUI, but a lot more powerful for many tasks :) | 04:51 |
| sniff | i didn't like automatix installing totem in kubuntu, along with all those other softwares, such as 2 BT clients | 04:51 |
| Sechs | Ok i dled Easykubuntu and extracted it, but what now ? | 04:51 |
| _martin | n3storm: thanks for your help. bfn. | 04:51 |
| _warren | ok so I just copy those lines in the terminal | 04:51 |
| === Sechs yes, real noob | ||
| Mi|o | i like the bt clients, not totem | 04:51 |
| Chousuke | Sechs: you need to open a terminal and cd to the directory that you extracted the package into. | 04:51 |
| n3storm | _martin: not at all! | 04:51 |
| sniff | why do i need two clients? anyway i like ktorrent or utorrent (in x-office) better | 04:51 |
| Mi|o | Sechs: why don't you go to ubuntu forums, i installed it with the instructions given there | 04:52 |
| Mi|o | you know what i hate now that i moved to kubuntu! | 04:52 |
| Mi|o | that I have gnome and kde applications mixed :( | 04:52 |
| Kr4t05 | Gee, this may seem redundant, but why won't Kmid play midi files? That is what it's supposed to do, right? | 04:52 |
| Chousuke | Sechs: crash course to unix terminal: cd changes current directory, ls lists files, cp copies files and mv moves them. | 04:52 |
| sniff | Mi|o: i really hate that too | 04:52 |
| Mi|o | jajaja Kr4t05 | 04:52 |
| Mi|o | actually i found some instructions sniff but they didn't work | 04:53 |
| sniff | instructions for what? | 04:53 |
| Sechs | ok i see...but i still don't get the thing to install from files i dled ? | 04:53 |
| sniff | seperating the menus>? | 04:53 |
| Mi|o | they are supossed to separate the gnome and kde applications to their respective environments | 04:53 |
| Mi|o | but it is not working | 04:53 |
| sniff | yeah that would be good | 04:53 |
| Chousuke | Sechs: did you run the easyubuntu python script? | 04:53 |
| Chousuke | actually hmm | 04:54 |
| sniff | all i could do was remove both the gnome libs and then reinstall my fave gnome apps | 04:54 |
| _warren | ok now where will easyubunto show up | 04:54 |
| Mi|o | i'll have to do that, i guess | 04:54 |
| sniff | but be careful you don't remove all your kde stuff too | 04:54 |
| Sechs | I'd like to...but as i say chousuke, i downlded the tar of easykubuntu, but now i dont know what to do with it...i'll check the forums anyway | 04:54 |
| Chousuke | _warren: I don't think it'll install itself in any menu or anything | 04:54 |
| _warren | ok | 04:55 |
| Chousuke | Sechs: you need to follow the instructions on this page: http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/get.html :P | 04:55 |
| sniff | Mi|o: I just wrote a script that does: sudo apt-get install msttcorefonts gstreamer0.8-mad gstreamer0.8-plugins gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg mozilla-mplayer libdvdread3 libstdc++5 flashplayer-mozilla j2re1.4 && sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh && sudo apt-get install xine-ui mplayer-686 | 04:55 |
| Chousuke | Sechs: just copy and paste the second box into your terminal | 04:55 |
| sniff | and then another to: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get install build-essential gftp kgpg digikam kipi-plugins digikamimageplugins unrar-nonfree zip gnome-nettool kino kinoplus ktorrent kaffeine-xine audacity | 04:56 |

| Mi|o | i will print the instructions (firestarter) | 05:00 |

| Mi|o | ok, let me check the repositories | 05:00 |

| Mi|o | it doesn't block anything | 05:00 |
| Mi|o | like when you install a firewall in windows | 05:00 |
| sniff | after installing firestarter run "kdesu firestarter" from a terminal, and then run the firestarter wizard. So easy. | 05:00 |

| ROBOd | _warren: how? | 05:49 |
| Sechs | I have a rpm.bin | 05:49 |
| _warren | how did you install it in the firt place | 05:49 |
| Chousuke | Sechs: then you need to use this tool called make-jpkg (apt-get install java-package) to turn that .bin into a debian package. | 05:49 |
| Sechs | not this ? | 05:49 |
| Chousuke | Sechs: not the rpm one. | 05:49 |

| tristanmike | !automatix | 06:09 |
| ubotu | I heard automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation. | 06:09 |
| === _thumper_ [n=tim@tpsoft.gotadsl.co.uk] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| tristanmike | for a comparison of easyubuntu and automatix see...http://nalioth.hostdestroyer.com/comparison.html | 06:09 |
| Sechs | thanx | 06:10 |
| _warren | it asks you if you want to overwrite configuration on install | 06:10 |
| _warren | it explains it and gives you a choice | 06:11 |
| _warren | how ever a brief explanation | 06:11 |
| tristanmike | EasyUbuntu:Uses self-contained sources.list. Does not touch YOUR sources.list at all. Makes no changes to system settings. Automatix:Uses a non-official sources.list. Changes system settings permanently. | 06:11 |
| Sechs | Damn o_o...it says the packet doesnt macth (i386) with my system (amd64)...so i guess installing kubuntu amd64 was a huge mistake finally. | 06:12 |
| _warren | maybe thats not such a bad thing as it seems to be the only thing that allowed me to get flash and windows media working was automatix | 06:13 |
| heinkel_111 | hmm dows Konqueror actually run on very much mozilla code? | 06:13 |
| === garret_ is now known as garret | ||
| heinkel_111 | can i install the mozilla flash plugin and it will work in Konquerer? | 06:14 |

| _warren | there is different versions of Kubuntu Sechs | 06:14 |

| _warren | oh | 06:15 |

| disc-q | do i need the ppp daemon if i connect with a router? | 06:50 |
| pahlooka | jtshaw: are you getting an md5sum mismatch on universe packages.bz2 today? | 06:50 |
| PoorYoric | So, no idea for my kernel oops ? | 06:50 |
| jtshaw | pahlooka: Dunno, haven't updated today.. I'll check | 06:50 |
| schorem | @disc-q: No ppp daemon is for connecting thru a modem. As in the old times | 06:50 |
| disc-q | schorem, so i don't need it right? | 06:51 |
| pahlooka | jtshaw: you may not notice it unless you use apt-get update....synaptic and aptitude don't show the error, but of course I get no packages from universe | 06:51 |
| jtshaw | pahlooka: Appears to be fine today | 06:51 |
| schorem | @disc-q. Nope. Does your router have a dhcp server? | 06:52 |
| disc-q | yes. the dhcpclient starts while booting | 06:52 |
| PoorYoric | well, I'll restart with different kernel options | 06:52 |
| jtshaw | pahlooka: I used apt-get update and got no errors from the us mirrors | 06:52 |
| pahlooka | jtshaw: did u use apt-get to update the packages list? | 06:52 |
| schorem | @disc-q: well it should work fine then? can you connect to the internet or network | 06:52 |
| pahlooka | jtshaw: ok | 06:52 |
| disc-q | sure :) | 06:53 |
| disc-q | i will a have a try and stop ppp | 06:53 |
| disc-q | wasn't running :) | 06:53 |
| pahlooka | jtshaw: I'm going straight to archive.ubuntu.com (uk?) I was gonna leave a msg on ubuntuforums but its down for me too :O | 06:53 |
| schorem | @dis-q: just apt-get remove/purge ppp | 06:53 |
| jtshaw | pahlooka: Odd, the forums are fine for me as well... | 06:54 |

| jesusfish | stupid dependencies for kdetv are all screwed up | 07:03 |
| pahlooka | knoppix: seems to work. scans ok now, but as I don't have any hotspots near me except my own accesspoint I can't really tell if it will roam successfully | 07:03 |
| knoppix | pahlooka, you could try connecting to your already connected network. If it says "could not connect due to an invalid WEP key", then things havent changed much. | 07:04 |
| disc-q | anybody here who uses virtual machines? | 07:04 |
| pahlooka | knoppix: ok, I'll give it a try | 07:04 |
| pahlooka | knoppix: ok, you are right - its incorrectly thinking my AP is using WEP (it isn't) and gives the error you describe | 07:06 |
| knoppix | pahlooka, thanks for checking. | 07:07 |

| Zechs | When i try to run automatix, it says : AUtomatix will not run alongside an independant instance of dpkg please run just one of them at the time. | 09:03 |

| frank23 | !automatix | 09:04 |
