| === ubuntu is now known as zaxone | ||

| zaxone | hi all | 12:18 |
| Alumin | if you think you need virus protection, platform doesn't matter | 12:18 |
| Mace68 | you have a good point Alumin | 12:18 |
| Linux_Galore | Mace68: firestarter is a bit like zonealarm, but in this case all its doing is creating some text files and a startup script that tells the Linux kernel how to filter things, the graphical tool isnt needed once you have setup firetsarter so you can turn it off, the firewall will still start in the backgournd | 12:18 |
| === Klinetix [n=Klinetix@cpe-76-170-47-129.socal.res.rr.com] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| Alumin | people who say viruses on Linux-based platforms don't matter since they don't run as root miss the blatantly obvious point that a virus running as your user identity is the most dangerous kind | 12:18 |
| zaxone | i want to ask about the "Start" button on the keyboard and how can i use it on (k)ubuntu | 12:19 |
| Alumin | you think I care whether some virus running as root blows away /usr? | 12:19 |
| Alumin | I mean yeah, that would be bad | 12:19 |
| zaxone | can you tell me please? | 12:19 |
| Alumin | but compared to deleting $HOME | 12:19 |
| Alumin | zaxone: you need to use xmodmap to map the key | 12:19 |

| zaxone | i wish you happy new year :D | 12:21 |
| Alumin | I'd use it (or something like it) if I were a newbie though, for sure | 12:21 |
| Mace68 | is klamav the way to go if one wants virus protection then? | 12:22 |
| Alumin | and ClamAV, no, I use F-Prot for Linux | 12:22 |
| Linux_Galore | firestarter creates a pretty good set of base rules though, some anti hacking things in there | 12:22 |
| === bob_ [n=bob@12.168.211.68] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| Linux_Galore | Mace68: yeah, its a start | 12:22 |
| Alumin | isn't clamav used to disinfect win32 viruses? | 12:22 |
| Alumin | I mean, I know it runs on Linux platforms but I thought it detected win viruses | 12:22 |
| Alumin | as a mail filter etc | 12:23 |
| Linux_Galore | Mace68: clamav is more to help you protect windows users from virii sent by you to them | 12:23 |
| Linux_Galore | Mace68: Linux makes a great virii relay for obvious reasons | 12:23 |
| Alumin | BluesKaj: now, I _do_ use ClamAV on my Wintendo box | 12:23 |
| Alumin | used to use AVG Free Edition but switched | 12:23 |

| Alumin | if your friend has concerns about it, he should install the free version of AVG in my opinion | 12:26 |
| Linux_Galore | Mace68: its a total wast of time, good user policies (dont run apps as root that you have downloaded from an unknown source) is better | 12:26 |
| Alumin | I definitely believe that the decision on whether AV software is necessary is platform-independent, though | 12:26 |
| Linux_Galore | Mace68: tell him to find a "working" Linux virus | 12:27 |
| Linux_Galore | Mace68: you can even make money lol | 12:27 |
| Alumin | Linux_Galore: yeah, so my user-space virus that just blows away your home directory is harmless, right? | 12:27 |
| malik_ | but guys what if some one writes a script and spreads it around?.............. i mean that would cause some problems for linux users, wouldnt it? | 12:27 |
| Alumin | you can just re-create all those dotfiles I guess :) | 12:27 |

| Graham | I'm not taking CPU advice from a guy who has intel in his name. | 02:03 |
| Schuenemann | ok, it has | 02:03 |
| Schuenemann | thanks :D | 02:03 |
| angasule | Graham: hahaha | 02:04 |
| intelikey | i run kde on a p1 with 96m ram | 02:04 |
| Schuenemann | intelikey: you run kubuntu on that? | 02:04 |
| Graham | I said it'd be choppy because of the slow CPU, I never said it WOULDN'T work. | 02:04 |
| angasule | I saw a guy running kde 3.x on a 486 :P | 02:04 |
| intelikey | Schuenemann yes | 02:04 |
| Graham | The RAM is fine. | 02:04 |
| angasule | intelikey: with a lot of tweaking, though | 02:04 |
| Schuenemann | KDE is slow here... and it's a p4 1500 384 ram | 02:04 |

| Linux_Galore | Schuenemann: define slow, Im on a P4 2.8 512mb and its pretty fast | 02:05 |
| angasule | Schuenemann: then you have some problem, that computer should run kubuntu well | 02:05 |
| Graham | It's like Ubuntu, only with x instead of Gen... whatever it's called. | 02:05 |
| heapme | intelikey: uh stupid question again, how do i unmount the ext3 partition? just unmount /media/<mnt point> ? | 02:05 |
| Graham | Gnome that's the one! | 02:05 |
| Linux_Galore | Schuenemann: you can edit the performace stuff | 02:05 |
| Schuenemann | Linux_Galore: slower than win XP, slower than gnome | 02:05 |

| intelikey | right my ram usage is 30m and i'm running blackbox with battel for wesnoth in it and this irc chat and a web browser. don't tell me you have to have tons of ram. | 02:06 |
| Linux_Galore | Schuenemann: in konqueror -> Settings -> Configure Konqueror look for the Performance icon on the right | 02:06 |
| heapme | gimp is ugly and gnome is based on the tool kit that created gimp , so yeah :p | 02:06 |
| intelikey | got that 30M used ram. no swap. | 02:07 |
| Linux_Galore | Schuenemann: also you might want to make sure you have kde 3.5.5 installed its allot faster than the default | 02:07 |
| intelikey | read 'em and weep. | 02:07 |

| intelikey | heapme sorry its umount not unmount | 02:07 |
| angasule | heapme: besides the possible ugliness related to gimp, the gnome devs have some ideas about UI that I don't agree with | 02:07 |
| Schuenemann | dope: eclipse with phpeclipse | 02:08 |
| intelikey | angasule correct it's not. kde makes the same setup 48m | 02:08 |
| intelikey | i have checked. | 02:08 |
| Linux_Galore | Schuenemann: yeah, you need to set the kde355 repo up in adept | 02:08 |
| Schuenemann | which is it? | 02:08 |
| intelikey | and btw 10m of that is the game that's running. | 02:08 |

| jerp | is there a way to change the colors in the aptitude terminal? my eyes are bleeding | 02:08 |
| Graham | dope: Do you need a fancy PHP editor? Just use kwrite or something. | 02:08 |
| Linux_Galore | Schuenemann: ok in the Performance section just turn on Preload and set it to 2 | 02:08 |
| intelikey | dope hit the insert key ? | 02:09 |
| Schuenemann | Linux_Galore: why 2? currently is 1 | 02:09 |
| angasule | intelikey: I have seen battle for wesnoth (actually, I think I finished the main campaign), it's not an advanced game exactly, it's turn based and 2d | 02:09 |
| intelikey | angasule correct. and ? | 02:09 |
| dope | intelikey: like when you hit "i" in normal mode you go to insert mode. is there another way to get back to normal mode? | 02:10 |
| Schuenemann | load an instance after kde startup? | 02:10 |
| intelikey | still uses 10m of ram. angasule | 02:10 |
| intelikey | dope if the insert key doesn't do it then no. | 02:10 |

| Schuenemann | related* | 02:44 |
| intelikey | heapme in or out of kde ? | 02:44 |
| Jucato | related to java? | 02:44 |
| Schuenemann | yes | 02:44 |
| heapme | intelikey: i didnt try to go in kde, i know it will just crash as it has the last 3 reboots :[ | 02:44 |
| Jucato | there's only one command for updating java alternatives | 02:44 |
| Schuenemann | one? | 02:45 |
| stdin | zhiyuan: I found a help page here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Netbeans | 02:45 |

| intelikey | heapme ok login a second console and type 'startx' | 02:45 |
| Schuenemann | you need to do that for java, javac, etc | 02:45 |
| Jucato | Schuenemann: "sudo update-alternatives --config java" afaik | 02:45 |
| heapme | k | 02:45 |
| === matrix is now known as penguinfan | ||
| stdin | zhiyuan: it says "If Netbeans is unable to find JDK try appending -is:javahome /usr/lib/jvm/java-* to the install command." | 02:45 |
| Jucato | hm.. | 02:45 |
| Schuenemann | Jucato: what is afaik? | 02:45 |
| Jucato | as far as I know | 02:45 |
| intelikey | heapme use [alt] +[f#] where # is any of 1 2 3 4 5 6 you should be in tty1 now. | 02:46 |
| Jucato | Schuenemann: I don't see any javac here... | 02:46 |
| Jucato | (maybe because I don't have jdk installed?) | 02:46 |
| heapme | intellikey. Fatal server error: Server is already active for display 0 | 02:46 |
| Schuenemann | yes | 02:46 |
| heapme | intelikey: kde isnt loaded but the gui login screen is on alt+F7 | 02:46 |
| Schuenemann | for jre there are few | 02:46 |
| zhiyuan | Ah, thank you stdin :) But actually, Jucato's suggestion worked. All I needed to do was call update-alternatives for "java" | 02:46 |
| Schuenemann | maybe javaws | 02:46 |
| zhiyuan | But that is a useful link anyway! | 02:46 |
| zhiyuan | Thank you | 02:46 |
| intelikey | heapme ok do this sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop | 02:46 |
| intelikey | then try again. | 02:46 |
| Schuenemann | Linux_galore_: hey, it's finishes | 02:47 |

| Cuddles_in_KY | intelikey, ok, done that. now what/ | 04:15 |
| intelikey | not form the running system you'll have to be outside the partition to resize it. | 04:16 |

| dope | hmm | 04:16 |
| intelikey | Cuddles_in_KY now see if it's there | 04:16 |

| superkirbyartist | Thank you, Cuddles_in_KY | 04:34 |
| stdin | deus_: if it's hda2 then you need 'root (hd0,3)' but if it's hda3 you need 'root (hd0,4)' | 04:34 |
| deus_ | Is it irresponsible to load up linux on a liveCD and reboot | 04:34 |
| Jucato | superkirbyartist: being a volunteer/open channel, some oddballs do come in. best thing to do would be to talk to the ops about these | 04:35 |

| intelikey | heapme that's the problem. and i don't use dbus so i don't know why it's doing that nor what to tell you to do to try to fix it. | 04:36 |
| dope | BluesKaj: so gparted is better than qtparted? | 04:36 |
| superkirbyartist | Well, at least the KDE users are nice! | 04:36 |
| BluesKaj | yup | 04:36 |
| dope | ok where i get this? | 04:36 |
| BluesKaj | it's more flexible , dope | 04:36 |
| BluesKaj | !gparted | 04:36 |
| ubotu | gparted is a GUI partitioning program, "apt-get install gparted", also available as a live cd http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 04:36 |
| heapme | intelikey: before i killed dbus-daemon it was saying, in ps -X a, stuff like: 10237 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /home/heapme... | 04:37 |
| intelikey | but i do know that sudo killall /usr/bin/dbus_daemon <or shat ever it is will stop it. for the moment. | 04:37 |
| superkirbyartist | BluesKaj: Not so with me. On my iMac G3 Xubuntu works smoother. But I do use Kopete, and have plans for Rosegarden. | 04:37 |
| deus_ | stdin, intelikey: If I type "root (hd0," it tells me that partitions 0,1, and 3 are unknown filetype, and partition 2 is ext2fs | 04:37 |
| intelikey | heapme yes kde is dependant on that. | 04:37 |
| deus_ | so partition 2 must be linux, right? | 04:37 |
| Jucato | superkirbyartist: just a friendly advice, try to be respectful in #ubuntu-ops. and explain the situation well | 04:37 |
| Cuddles_in_KY | jucato, in support of superkirbyartist, one of the helpers told me the only way to fix my zip drive was to set a cup of coffee on it. | 04:37 |
| stdin | deus_: yes | 04:37 |
| deus_ | okay, so it should be hda2 | 04:37 |
| intelikey | then 2 it is. | 04:37 |
| superkirbyartist | Blueskay: I guess that KDE has high requirements. | 04:37 |
| stdin | deus_: no, hda3 | 04:38 |
| stdin | deus_: grub starts at 0 | 04:38 |
| deus_ | 2 or 3? | 04:38 |
| Jucato | Cuddles_in_KY: you have to understand, there is no "regular" set of helpers in any of the channel. by regular I mean officially assigned to help | 04:38 |
| heapme | intelikey: why do you think my kde broke. it's been crashing a lot since i first installed kubuntu 6.10 a week ago but sometimes it'd let me use it all day long | 04:38 |

| BluesKaj | superkirbyartist ?? ...I'm talking about partitioning dopes hdd with gparted | 04:38 |
| Cuddles_in_KY | jucato, i know that. but you'd think an op would be around to stop the wags. | 04:39 |

| Ashex | I can't get a display using the nvidia drivers at 1440x900 | 04:39 |
| Jucato | Cuddles_in_KY: they're around. but they don't spend 100% of their time monitoring channels | 04:39 |
| Ashex | anyone know why? | 04:39 |
| Jucato | most of the ops are devs too | 04:39 |
| stdin | deus_: try "root (hd0,2) [enter] kernel /boot/vmlinuz[TAB] " (where [TAB] is the tab key to complete the path to the right kernel | 04:39 |
| Ashex | It works fine with the nv driver | 04:40 |
| intelikey | heapme i don't know. i'm on dapper and haven't see that problem with dbus maybe you should report the bug and look for other reports on it. | 04:40 |
| deus_ | okay, got it | 04:40 |
| heapme | ive seen people in #ubuntu say to rm -rf /* as a help command, which i said 'thats not funny some ubuntu users dont even know what rm means' and they said 'thats the only way they'll learn' | 04:40 |
| Ashex | I used 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' to reconfigure xorg.conf | 04:40 |
| heapme | intelikey: ok thanks for everything :) | 04:40 |
| intelikey | heapme sorry i cant fix that for you. | 04:41 |

| Jucato | !resolution | 04:41 |
| ubotu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 04:41 |
| intelikey | heapme install cdw | 04:41 |
| Ashex | thanks Jucato | 04:41 |
| BluesKaj | Ashex, yes that's the usual fix to get X and desktop back to running order | 04:41 |
| intelikey | cdw is nice to backing a few files/dirs from the cli | 04:41 |
| Jucato | ugh not that!!! | 04:42 |
| Jucato | rawr... | 04:42 |
| Jucato | "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" | 04:42 |
| heapme | this whole experience is kind of good because it's teaching me not to rely on the GUI apps because i could end up screwed if kde/x ever breaks heh | 04:42 |
| Cuddles_in_KY | jucato, speaking from experience, when it comes to running -any- help/support channel, even an unofficial one, it's a good idea to either have an op on hand, or a warning posted in the topic. | 04:42 |
| deus_ | I type "intrid=/boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic" and it says "Error 27: Unrecognized Command" | 04:42 |
| matthew | superkirbyartist, we're nice because we have a nice interface that doesn't frustrate us just by looking at it... | 04:42 |
| intelikey | heapme worse than that. you could get bit by the cli bug and be like me and never start a gui anymore.... 8{ | 04:43 |
| stdin | deus_: it'll be "intrid /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic" (no '=') | 04:43 |
| Jucato | Cuddles_in_KY: they're here. they're not just OP'ed. it's sort of a policy. you can call their attention. and they do check in from time to time. but you'd have to pay someone to watch the channel 100% of the time 24/7 | 04:43 |
| Jucato | !xconfig | 04:43 |
| ubotu | To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg". To configure only the driver and resolution, type: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh". | 04:43 |

| jpiccolo_ | mortici: is there some kind of firewall that would be stopping it | 06:16 |
| ForgeAus | looks kinda lush for wine | 06:16 |
| nixternal | ubuntu: you need to install ssh server first, and then create a username/password to access it | 06:16 |

| John-Charles | /nick gkffyji | 06:16 |
| mortici | jpiccolo_, no not really, it might not be communicating with the steam servers. Unless the new steam version borked it some how, but it should allow you to "download" the game, i never tried to pay for anything on the linux end | 06:17 |

| jpiccolo_ | vmmon | 06:36 |
| lachlan | im not abanboning linux i have a seperate computer devoted to linux | 06:36 |
| ForgeAus | lachlan depends on what kinda backup your looking for | 06:36 |
| Mace68 | those are pretty obscure questions lachlan | 06:37 |
| ForgeAus | you can copy the file (just make/add the extension .bak or something) you can archive it.... with ark or tar or something... or you could get a backup program but usually for a single file they aren't really a great idea... | 06:37 |
| mortici | jpiccolo_, only thing i can recommend is to stop the download and try again | 06:37 |
| mortici | i mean as in delete what you downloaded through steam | 06:37 |

| Jucato | saree: upgrading from edgy to feisty is a bit easier, like how BlackPhoenixx described it | 11:12 |

| stdin | saree: just don't expect a rock solid system from feisty yet | 11:13 |
| ReFF | i won't upgrade until it's stable anyway :-) | 11:13 |
| BlackPhoenixx | astan: then you will have to do an sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:13 |
| stdin | astan: try with sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:13 |
| Jucato | in most cases, it's actually better to do dist-upgrade... the GUI package managers actually use dist-upgrade for the regular updates... | 11:14 |

| BlackPhoenixx | kept back means or some other pachage depends on it and for safety it is being kept back, (kept-back, not being updated) if you do an dist-upgrade everything including system vital packages like for example glibc are being updated | 11:16 |

| BlackPhoenixx | follow the wiki it will explain a lot | 11:17 |
| BlackPhoenixx | astan: is good that you think about it | 11:17 |
| Jucato | astan: kept back usually means that something cannot be upgraded because it depends on something that isn't installed. "upgrade" doesn't install new stuff, it only upgrades installed packages. "dist-upgrade" upgrades installed packages and installs new dependencies if needed | 11:17 |
| BlackPhoenixx | of course it will be better | 11:17 |

| kouran | ah ok. so if ive got linux-restricted-module-generic and nvidia-glx it should all be good? | 12:03 |
| Jucato | yep | 12:03 |
| Jucato | then run the command "sudo nvidia-xconfig" | 12:03 |

| kouran | im back. | 12:12 |
| Jucato | ailean: you can't use the Desktop/Live CD to upgrade | 12:13 |
| Jucato | kouran: how did it go? | 12:13 |
| exceswater | stdin | 12:13 |
| exceswater | i cannot | 12:13 |
| exceswater | please tell me how to do it | 12:13 |
| Jucato | sudo cp <file> <target directory> | 12:14 |
| Jucato | sudo cp foo /usr/somewhere | 12:14 |
| ailean | Jucato, okay, so if I use the Alternative disc then - I'm quite comfortable using either. But my key point is that I want to go from Ubuntu to Kubuntu. That shouldn't pose any problems: should it? | 12:14 |
| kouran | i installed linux-restricted-module-3, confirmed nvidia-glx was installed, did sudo nvidia-xconfig, rebooted and still x wont start | 12:14 |
| Jucato | but be *very* careful in modifying anything in root/system-owned folders... you're not allowed to do that normally for a reason... | 12:14 |
| exceswater | 10x jucato | 12:14 |
| exceswater | i hope i can copy a folder ... ? | 12:14 |
| Jucato | ailean: if you want to upgrade from Ubuntu Edgy to Kubuntu Feisty, you'd need the ALternate CD, and install kubuntu-desktop from there | 12:15 |
| Jucato | kouran: what kernel are you using? | 12:15 |
| fiandre | how can i see the bus in which my serial nic is connected? | 12:15 |
| stdin | ailean: you won't boot from the CD, just use it as a apt source | 12:15 |
| Jucato | kouran: unless you specifically installed the 386 kernel, you'd be using the -generic kernel | 12:16 |
| kouran | 386. one sec, ill verify everything is installed... | 12:16 |

| kouran | i know im using 386 because i used uname -r | 12:16 |
| Jucato | ah.. hm... | 12:16 |
| ailean | Jucato, well I could install kubuntu-desktop on this system, but I tried that before under dapper and it didn't behave in the same way as the standard Kubuntu install. I.e. it would load up as if it was Ubuntu, then load KDE once I logged on. KDE was only available as a session rather than as the full install. | 12:16 |
| BlackPhoenixx | does anybody know a site where to buy linux games, and i mean ofcourse the big games for example Soldier of Fortune (Linux Edition) | 12:16 |
| jl | tuxgames.org | 12:17 |
| kouran | ok, adept manager said linux-restricted-module-386 wasnt installed | 12:17 |
| Jucato | ailean: that's because by installing kubuntu-desktop over Ubuntu, you actually have 2 installed, KDE and GNOME | 12:17 |
| jl | sorry, http://tuxgames.com/ of course | 12:17 |
| stdin | ailean: that's still a full kubuntu install, you're just using GDM not KDM (which you can change) | 12:17 |

| ailean | Jucato, okay, that is the problem I was talking about before then. So I'll install kubuntu-desktop and then switch to kdm. Can you easily help me with that? | 12:19 |
| ailean | . . . yes then :) | 12:20 |
| BlackPhoenixx | jl: do you know also other sites | 12:20 |
| BlackPhoenixx | ? | 12:20 |
| Jucato | ailean: during the installation kubuntu-desktop, when kdm will be installed, you'll be asked if you want to use GDM or KDM as your display manager, choose KDM | 12:20 |

| chuen | How do I select an option t o install on my HD? | 07:30 |
| digijosh | chuen: thats the 'live' version..there should be an icon on the desktop that says install | 07:30 |
| chuen | doh! | 07:30 |
| digijosh | you just dbl click that icon and the wizard runs up and asks you to select options | 07:30 |
| Jucato | single click | 07:30 |
| chuen | let me have a look. | 07:30 |
| digijosh | single click :) yes | 07:30 |

| chuen | I've had it with Windows :) | 07:31 |
| digijosh | kk | 07:31 |
| chuen | So one option is 'erase entire disk'? | 07:31 |

| sivaji_2009 | is there any ide equivalent to ms visual studio | 07:33 |
| TheGateKeeper | chuen, the sensible option is to dual boot for a while, & when you are happy & comfortable with linux, then remove windows | 07:33 |

| chuen | Excuse my ignorance, but what;s the basic difference between 'erase' & 'merge'? | 07:36 |
| dbase13 | erase = delete | 07:36 |

| jontec_ | I have a major problem. I don't think that my connection is allowing me to upload files. You name it, I haven't been able to upload files to gmail, hotmail, transfer files across my network OR even sftp upload to a computer sitting right beside me! What is going on!?! | 12:13 |
| jontec_ | premier_: there is one called kdesktop and powermanager... it's normal | 12:13 |
| premier__ | genii: dont know about that... Im on ac right now | 12:14 |
| jontec_ | premier_: I'm on a laptop right now... | 12:14 |

| jontec_ | genii: I am having trouble with changing my power profile... :D but that's not my primary concern right now | 12:14 |
