Adept will do fine, if you don't want to install synaptic. [06:28] Hey I dont care, I thought I couldnt install it cause I'm running 'Kubuntu' and not 'Ubuntu' [06:29] I have about 2 weeks experience with linux, so I'm a litle green [06:29] not compared to a lot that come through here. you are an expert already. [06:29] archangel_: For most purposes, Ubuntu and Kubuntu are the same distro. They just have a different default package set. [06:29] ahh, ok === goop2-away is now known as goop2 [06:30] well, I have learned that gnome sucks [06:30] hmmm... [06:30] archangel_: Any time you see 'synaptic' in ubuntu docs, you can pretty much feel free to substitute your preferred method of searching for/installing packages (adept by default in adept). [06:31] *adept by default in kde :p [06:31] Er, in Kubuntu. Bah, you get the point! [06:31] but... [06:31] Kubuntu uses KDE O_o [06:32] I might install the program, being that I'm not sure what I'm doing so I can follow the menus they give [06:32] apt-cache search blah & sudo apt-get install blah's-full-name [06:32] intelikey: Out of curiosity, is there any reason to use apt-get over aptitude? [06:32] Tsed: aptitude remembers all dependencies [06:32] shorter code [06:32] I'm under the impression that aptitude generally tracks reverse deps better, so I stick to that... [06:33] so if you decide to instal gnome, you can easily remove it later [06:33] less key strokes [06:33] if you install say gnome-desktop with apt-get, you'll have to remove every single package seperately if you want to remove it [06:33] Hmm. Works out about the same with tab-completion. :) [06:33] actually i type 'urpmq blah' for searches and 'urpmi blah ' for installs. [06:34] if you use aptitude, it'll remove everything [06:34] OOD: Yeah, that's pretty much what I thought, but I see 'apt-get' in a lot of howtos/docs, so I was just wondering if there was a reason for a general preference for apt-get. [06:34] Tsed: could you help me selecting my printer?

[06:51] pierreth: System Settings -> Printers [06:51] could you use sftp directly? [06:52] ironfroggy: I didn't try, unfortunately. I think I eventually just used the "fish" kioslave.

[11:57] also, (haven't confirmed this yet), according to some site i viewed, the maxtor disks in hp laptops are generally "grade b" drives, i.e. not very high quality [11:58] i'm just trying to avoid buying a completely new laptop drive right now if this will manage to survive a bit longer [11:58] jontec: no idea but dpkg -L bridge-utils and start poking around might help [11:58] jhak88: sudo apt-get install flash-plugin-nonfree === gazper [n=gazper@d213-103-121-88.cust.tele2.fr] has joined #kubuntu [11:58] and if it does indeed decide on dying very soon, so be it. i will do a few e2fsck -c from now on to be safe once in a while === sledge [n=chris@pdpc/supporter/student/sledge] has joined #kubuntu [11:58] or even -c -c [11:58] jontec: thankies! [11:58] jhak88: sudo update-flashplugin [11:59] makes sure you do the second command as well [11:59] rlj: dropped it? =\ ouch, you know if you do tune2fs -C 99 it will do a fsck on the next reboot? [11:59] markc_: okay, I'll see ^_^ [11:59] jontec: the package cannot be found [11:59] where do i install VCD? in my libraries? === edulix_ [n=edulix@109.Red-83-55-180.dynamicIP.rima-tde.net] has joined #kubuntu === ubuntu_ [n=ubuntu@200-103-168-205.fozit701.dsl.brasiltelecom.net.br] has joined #kubuntu === DaSkreech [n=Me@208.138.25.53] has joined #kubuntu [12:00] cpk2: well, i see no big need to mess with tune2fs right now as i will monitor the drive's condition manually for a while to see if it indeed degrades (i.e. new bad blocks appear) [12:00] flashplugin-nonfree [12:00] rlj: also i think SMART _might_ tell you how much the HD has moved === sensei [n=erik@tribal.metalab.unc.edu] has joined #kubuntu [12:01] where do i extract the VCD file to? [12:01] http://pastebin.ca/96400 Am I missing something really embarassing, or is that really weird? [12:01] did you do it in Konsole? and are you using the us mirrors? [12:01] jhak88:did you do it in Konsole? and are you using the us mirrors? [12:02] i just downloaded it to my home folder [12:02] anyway, since i've already backed up all content and made a fresh new ext3 using -c -c, meaning it did a destructive read/write test 4 times with different patterns (and i saw no drive errors in syslog this time), i'm just starting to wonder whether the writes caused by my previous manual badblocks -c -c, caused the disk to relocate the bad blocks, as opposed to just reads causing it to give errors. according to net sources, drives norm [12:02] ad so that would explain the behavious [12:02] It only fails with echo.. I can create and edit files with any editor [12:02] Where can I find out about Xen and Vanderpool? [12:02] sensei: you dont get sudo after the > is why [12:02] jhak88:don't use the us mirrors, I get it in Adept [12:02] jontec: I'm doing this via Adept manager [12:02] anyway, it would be nice to know whether it is possible at all to read out the currently stored list of bad blocks from a ext2/3 fs :) [12:02] sensei: try this "sudo -i" [12:02] and then do the same command [12:03] jhak88: go to Manage Repositories === Raven301 [n=raven301@Toronto-HSE-ppp3907943.sympatico.ca] has joined #Kubuntu [12:03] jontec: and yes I found the package and installing via Adept Manager === ubuntu_ [n=ubuntu@200-103-168-205.fozit701.dsl.brasiltelecom.net.br] has left #kubuntu ["Konversation] [12:03] cpk2: Same thing [12:03] sensei: redirections (i.e. "<" and ">") are performed by the shell itself, not by the command. so your redirection is performed run as root, because it's not sudo that's doing it, but the shell. [12:03] sensei: Can you sudo echo? [12:03] sensei: you can do things like sudo -c sh "echo blah >somewhere" [12:04] Hu.. had no idea about this === KaiHanari [n=Kai@stjhnf01-23-142163031236.nf.sympatico.ca] has joined #kubuntu [12:04] sensei: and, as cpk2 said, you can use "sudo -i" or "sudo -s", but you need to press Enter after doing that, and *then* type commands [12:04] jhak88: so do you still have errors/problems? [12:04] Then again, never used sudo to any greater extent :) [12:05] sensei: sudo -i should log you in as root [12:05] and if i can't get that info from the fs, i will do an e2fsck -c -c on the fs (or badblocks -c -c with correct blocksize to be sure the results are actually echoed in the terminal! don't know how e2fsck behaves on this subject) and keep a close eye on the syslog to see if the drive pukes.. [12:05] does this seem like a sensible idea? [12:05] cpk2: Ah yeah, I just did sudo -i :P [12:05] after you do sudo -i your terminal should be roo@localhost [12:05] Yeah [12:05] root* [12:05] and maybe have a look at some s.m.a.r.t. prog. any suggestions? read about smartmon-something on sourceforge today. would that do the job? [12:05] jontec: is setting flash-plugin takes this long? [12:05] Ah learned something new today then, cheers [12:05] how do i install this VCDGear [12:06] jhak88:what do you mean? lol [12:06] sensei: just make sure you log out of root in that terminal when you are done with echo [12:06] rlj: smartmontools. [12:06] LjL: thanks, yeah that was it === ubuntu_ [n=ubuntu@eu85-85-176-64.clientes.euskaltel.es] has joined #kubuntu === ubuntu_ is now known as martxel [12:06] what file is it that i need to install with exactly? [12:06] cpk2: Yeah, because root is soo evil [12:06] jontec: Setting up flashplugin-nonfree (7.0.63.3ubuntu3) ... <-- the installation is "paused" at there [12:06] none of them are bins [12:06] will apt-get that here in the livecd kubuntu session then and see if it can get me some info === martxel [n=ubuntu@unaffiliated/martxel] has left #kubuntu ["Konversation] [12:06] thanks for the help anyway [12:07] sensei: no, just nice to know when you are doing things as root [12:07] jhak88: how long have you given it? [12:07] rlj: do install that, and then run "smartctl -H /dev/hdwhatever" for a general "yes"/"no" answer on your drive's state, or use "smartctl -A /dev/whatever" to have detailed info, or read the man page. with that package also comes "smartd", which is a daemon that can automatically keep an eye on SMART attribute changes. [12:07] jontec: Um.... I'm not sure, but that message is there for like... 10min [12:07] will check with smartmontools first, then do a badblocks -b 4096 -c -c and keep an eye on syslog. that should be the best thing for now [12:07] can anyone give me a hint? [12:07] sensei: back when i had a root login i had the roots desktop background be "you are f***ing root" =P [12:07] cpk2: Actually, I'm celebrating my tenth anniversary with linux, so I'm quite aware of that :)
