| genii | scifi Apache may still complain about no ip to latch onto but if it says defaulting to 127.0.0.1 after should still be alright. Though a nameserver or hosts entry is preferable to solve the issue. Keep in mind also that if apache latches to localhost, you will only normally be able to acces it from the box it is running on but also since for instance myphpadmin is running on that box should work also | 01:27 |

| genii | charlie5 It will be for some drive name like sda1 or sdb1 or sdc1 or like that. It won't have some description like "usb" normally. The system maps the drive to a scsi device which corresponds to device names like sda sdb and so on | 01:40 |

| adaptr | surgy: the output of a command that you want information from ("which") is pretty obviously rather different from a command that you want to do exactly what you tell it to - in the second case, you only want to know about it if it *failed* | 01:59 |

| steveire | chairmeleon: Go for it. | 02:04 |
| surgy | adaptr: got a link? maybe a couple of screens? | 02:04 |
| adaptr | surgy: there are very good howto's for beryl, ask around in channel | 02:04 |
| genii | !ask | chairmeleon | 02:04 |
| ubotwo | chairmeleon: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 02:04 |
| steveire | \me puts finger on buzzer | 02:04 |
| adaptr | !beryl | 02:04 |
| ubotwo | Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl | 02:04 |
| adaptr | surgy: one tip - if you're running Edgy you really want AIGLX, not Xgl | 02:05 |
| genii | interesting... ubotu is now known as ubotwo? | 02:05 |
| adaptr | it's ubotu's bastard twin brother :) | 02:05 |

| wolfwalker | Well, I have (partial) success | 02:06 |
| superkirbyartist | What ports must I use for USB joystick? | 02:06 |
| adaptr | surgy: it makes a significant performance difference, as AIGLX is built into the X server | 02:06 |
| wolfwalker | How do I rebuild the kernel? | 02:06 |
| adaptr | wolfwalker: why would you want to? | 02:06 |
| wolfwalker | I downloaded a file and the documentation/instructions said this | 02:06 |
| superkirbyartist | surgy: also offers more shutdown options, faster load and save, etc. | 02:06 |
| wolfwalker | Notes: First public release of the usbatm kernel subsystem including cxacru. To use it unpack the archive in the root of the kernel tree (it will replace some files in drivers/usb/atm) and rebuild. Note: due to a small lag in development speedtch doesn't work with the current usbatm, and is not included in this release. NOTE: the package can be used only as an integral part of the Linux kernel source tree, thus the kernel license terms | 02:07 |
| surgy | adaptr: so if my os depends directly on my video card ( such is the case of beryl) then i need a stout video card and the best drivers right? | 02:07 |
| genii | chairmeleon You are installing by cd? | 02:07 |
| surgy | adaptr: then why did i waste my time with glx? lol | 02:07 |
| chairmeleon | Like, for showcasing (*)buntu to your friends. a CD that installs with everything windows immigrants need to go hunting for (mp3/w32codecs, flash e.t.c) | 02:08 |
| adaptr | surgy: the OS does not depend on the video card - ever; as for drivers, just use the ubuntu default (87.76 for Edgy) | 02:08 |
| === andrei_ [n=andrei@p5.pub.ro] has joined #kubuntu | ||

| chairmeleon | are there other methods? | 02:08 |
| genii | chairmeleon Ah OK :) I have a different setup where I am installing by a netboot method, I have a solution based on that. For a custom CD tho you need another way | 02:09 |
| adaptr | surgy: "glx" is the Linux name for a generic-ish hardware-dependent OpenGL accelerator driver - there are different ones for nvidia (nvidia-glx) and ATI (fglrx) | 02:09 |
| sinthetek | heya, i was trying to find info on kubuntu livecds... i noticed on the special-cds section of the site, the only iso listed is old and in german. from what i can see, it looks like the regular kubuntu install cd is also a livecd. is this like a fully functional livecd? | 02:09 |

| adaptr | surgy: depends on what you want to do- I presume there's a reason you wanted the binary nvidia drivers ? | 02:11 |

| adaptr | wolfwalker: no, it most certainly is not | 02:16 |
| wolfwalker | Well this documentation tells me to decompress the .tar file to root and rebuild the kernel | 02:16 |
| wolfwalker | How you do dat? | 02:16 |
| adaptr | wolfwalker: the first time you rebuild a kernel will take you a few days (perhaps a long night if you really work hard) | 02:16 |
| surgy | adaptr: yeah im looking at an fx6500 in a few weeks, beryl will complement it well | 02:16 |
| adaptr | wolfwalker: there are some documents you need to read | 02:16 |
| wolfwalker | Wait | 02:16 |
| wolfwalker | First, is that what this means? | 02:17 |
| wolfwalker | Notes: First public release of the usbatm kernel subsystem including cxacru. To use it unpack the archive in the root of the kernel tree (it will replace some files in drivers/usb/atm) and rebuild.

NOTE: the package can be used only as an integral part of the Linux kernel source tree, thus the kernel license terms | 02:17 |
| genii | chairmeleon Well, for netboot install method you normally would need to setup a dhcp server and some other stuff like tftpd server and so on which is a bit much for most ppl. I figure a better solution for you would be to make a custom install CD with whatever you normally want pre-installed on it. There is a way to make a preseed file to somewhat automate installs. You can create a preseed file from an already installed system with the things you l | 02:17 |
| wolfwalker | Is that "and rebuild" referring to rebuilding the kernel? | 02:17 |
| surgy | adaptr: i dont want to strain my vid card much, plus its a small feeble peice | 02:17 |

| adaptr | wolfwalker: if it talks about rebuilding your kernel, then yes, it does mean that - it is saying, in effect, that you cannot build it as a module that can be loaded at runtime | 02:18 |
| wolfwalker | Okay | 02:18 |

| adaptr | ..and then Linux would *be* Windows | 02:58 |
| surgy | adaptr: do you mind explaining how to do that? | 02:58 |

| adaptr | mardi: the file has in it what you attempted earlier in the network-manager, so that worked out okay | 02:59 |
| wolfwalker | But if I can't run Adept, I have to spend hours tracking down dependencies | 03:00 |
| VanessaE | look in /etc/apt/sources.list and see if there's such a line that's commented out | 03:00 |

| charlie5 | are configuration files in /usr/share, ever used by the system, or are they always only example/sample files ? | 03:43 |

| === Philip6 is now known as Philip5 | ||
| intelikey | mardi only mentioned it for convinenance | 03:43 |
| adaptr | mardi: yeah.... I'm not sure what happens, but I would certainly look into the KDE network settings overwriting the debian interfaces - I think that's what happens | 03:44 |

| stdin | jarn: dose the system still boot? | 03:56 |
| jarn | stdin: Yes. | 03:56 |
| jarn | stdin: I'm using it now. ;) | 03:56 |
| stdin | jarn: It's probably the new init system (upstart) | 03:57 |
| adaptr | mardi: system -> admin menu ? ever see it ? | 03:57 |
| stdin | jarn: mine is the same | 03:57 |
| jarn | stdin: So there's no way to fix it? | 03:57 |
| bxnp | btw how is upstart stdin | 03:57 |
| bxnp | is it better then the older way | 03:57 |
| mardi | adaptr: the only thing we have is System Settings, which has a Network Settings area. | 03:57 |
| mardi | That's the area that shows us the two eth0's | 03:57 |
| adaptr | mardi: okay... KDE screwed up, then | 03:58 |
| stdin | jarn: not that I know of, it's because upstart is "quiet" so usplash (the loading screen) sees no messages | 03:58 |
| intelikey | jarn bootsplash ? | 03:58 |
| mikey_la | bxnp: thanks. i found a howto @ the forums | 03:58 |
| stdin | bxnp: boots are a lot faster for me :) always a good thing | 03:58 |
| bxnp | oke well that should do the trick mikey_la | 03:59 |
| jarn | stdin: I didn't really get that. Does usplash only run when it sees messages, and upstart prevents it from seeing messages? | 03:59 |
| jarn | intelikey: ? | 03:59 |
| bxnp | kee, its with efty right stdin | 03:59 |
| adaptr | mardi: you really need to figure out what happens when you boot the machine, before X is running.. one way to find out is to exit X now and look at the network config | 03:59 |
| intelikey | nothing. never mind. | 03:59 |

| stdin | jarn: usplash is the loading screen, and because it sees no messages, it doesn't know how far in to the boot process it is, so can't display the bar | 04:00 |
| jarn | stdin: Ah. | 04:01 |
| jarn | stdin: I think I have grub set to boot it quiet, if I took that off would it work? | 04:01 |
| adaptr | mardi: why don't you disable the second eth0 entry and configure the remaining entry properly ? | 04:01 |
| jarn | stdin: I think I have a -quiet flag set. | 04:01 |
| mardi | adaptr: that'd be great, but how do we disable the second eth0? :p | 04:01 |
| stdin | jarn: you probably do, it's default, but if you remove it, you may get more messages that you want | 04:01 |
| mardi | adaptr: we're logged into the concol now, no X | 04:02 |
| jarn | stdin: But would the loading screen show? | 04:02 |
| adaptr | mardi: what do you mean, no X ? it is still running | 04:02 |
| intelikey | one can use -verbose | 04:02 |

| adaptr | mardi: okay, now what does ifconfig show ? | 04:03 |
| stdin | jarn: but it can do no damage, so you can try it and see | 04:03 |
| jarn | stdin: Okay, I'll try it. Where are the flags set? | 04:03 |
| mardi | adaptr: it goes to a blinking cursor, and you hit any key and it goes back to the Kubuntu login screen. | 04:03 |
| adaptr | mardi: when you do what ? | 04:04 |
| intelikey | doesn't sound like he's logged in that console | 04:04 |
| mardi | adaptr: never mind, we got it. :) Now, I'm looking in the ifconfig | 04:05 |
| stdin | jarn: you have 2 choices, you can remove the option at boot and it will only apply for that boot (slightly complex), or you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove the option there, which is more permanent | 04:05 |
| adaptr | mardi: you're making things harder on yourself.. go to a console and run sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop | 04:05 |
| adaptr | oh | 04:05 |
| jarn | stdin: How do I do the latter? | 04:05 |
| K-Ryan | has anyone installed this "WorldForge" game? | 04:05 |
| stdin | jarn: press Alt-F2 (to open the run dialogue) and enter "kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst" (without the quotes) | 04:06 |
| jarn | stdin: Do I modify the line "kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-generic root=UUID=5109aadb-0e30-468a-9c31-cc4357ffddad ro quiet splash noapic nolapic acpi=off" | 04:06 |
| stdin | jarn: yeah, just remove the "quiet" part | 04:06 |
| jarn | stdin: Okay, thanks. | 04:06 |

| manchicken | jarn: I had to make a custom build of amarok, which is really easy to do. | 04:37 |
| jarn | manchicken: Ah. | 04:37 |
| K-Ryan | Media Transfer Protocol, needs a program to send to the MP3 player? | 04:37 |
| stdin | ForgeAus: the GNU part means that the tools are from GNU | 04:37 |
| manchicken | jarn: Are you on amd64? | 04:37 |
| jarn | manchicken: Indeed. | 04:37 |
| bxnp | KDEInit could not launch anybody know's what this message means and how to solve it | 04:37 |
| manchicken | jarn: If you're on an amd64 processor then I can just send you a deb. | 04:38 |
| stdin | ForgeAus: you could run a GNU/Windows if you could separate the windows kernel from the rest of the OS | 04:38 |

| jarn | manchicken: Btw, how do I find out which device my MP3 player is when I plug it in? I've been screwing around with another program called "Gnomad2" while amarok is compiling. | 05:37 |
| manchicken | jarn: Any time man. It's all good. Spread the love and the freedom ^_^ | 05:37 |
| gecko_ | hey all | 05:37 |
| HymnToLife | K-Ryan, x86 assembly | 05:37 |
| jarn | manchicken: And I think what I need to do is mount my MP3 player, because it keeps telling me no jukebox is found on usb drives. | 05:37 |
| K-Ryan | Oh umm, still not sure what you mean. | 05:37 |
| manchicken | jarn: In amarok just set up the device as an MTP device. | 05:37 |
| manchicken | jarn: It's pretty simple after that. | 05:37 |
| K-Ryan | You mean the 64 bit thing or the other one? | 05:37 |
| manchicken | I don't know what gnomad2 does. | 05:37 |
| Dr_willis | jarn, check 'dmesg' output - and see if the device is seen when you plug it in | 05:37 |
| mardi | esc_ape: nope, just the one on-board ethernet card. It shows as being the same hardware address too. The thing that fixes it is a restart twice of networking. | 05:38 |
| jarn | manchicken: It's made for the kind of MP3 player I have. | 05:38 |

| K-Ryan | Like a bell, but not completely | 05:39 |
| gecko_ | ive had problems with gnome | 05:39 |
| manchicken | jarn: I want a Neuros Personal Media Computer. | 05:39 |
| gecko_ | menus dont show up...and i get an error about daemon tools? | 05:39 |
| gecko_ | kde works ok tho | 05:39 |
| jarn | Dr_willis: It is seen. I think. | 05:39 |
| jarn | Dr_willis: Since it lists 4 USB devices. | 05:39 |
| K-Ryan | Okay, so manchicken I guess you're recommending C++? | 05:40 |
| Dr_willis | jarn, look in media:/ and /media/ in konqueror. | 05:40 |
| manchicken | K-Ryan: Yeah. Python, Perl, and Ruby aren't bad to learn either. | 05:40 |
| K-Ryan | manchicken: Let's stick with 1 thing at a time =) | 05:40 |
| esc_ape | whats up with the korganizer reminder daemon? | 05:40 |
| stdin | K-Ryan: you may want to try something simpler, like python | 05:40 |
| manchicken | K-Ryan: Most of KDE is developed in C++. | 05:40 |
| Jucato | C++/Qt/KDE | 05:41 |
| === stdin is *trying* to learn Python atm | ||
| manchicken | Yes. | 05:41 |
| K-Ryan | manchicken: What would be good for an intermediate user, but is still a useful language? | 05:41 |
| manchicken | I don't really care for Python when I could be using C++. | 05:41 |
| manchicken | K-Ryan: C++ is good for intermediate. I was programming C when I was 12. | 05:41 |
| jarn | manchicken: It thinks it's a camera. O.o | 05:41 |
| jarn | manchicken: Er, meant to say that to Dr_willis | 05:41 |
| manchicken | jarn: KDE does think it's a camera. | 05:41 |
| jarn | Dr_willis: It thinks it's a camera. O.o | 05:41 |
| K-Ryan | manchicken: I get it, you're a better coder than me. Now stop throwing ages into play =) | 05:42 |
| Jucato | C++ is good for beginner/intermediate/advanced... I guess it all depends on how you approach/study the language | 05:42 |
| manchicken | jarn: MTP is a derivative of PTP, the Camera protocol. | 05:42 |
| gecko_ | is most ppl here using 6.10? | 05:42 |
| N6REJ | stdin: apparently its ok, because opentaps is building itself. | 05:42 |
| K-Ryan | gecko_ Probably people here from each version | 05:42 |
| manchicken | K-Ryan: No, I'm saying it's simple. We should try to not be intimidated by programming languages. Just jump in. | 05:42 |
| N6REJ | stdin: tyvm | 05:42 |
| manchicken | K-Ryan: If you put time into it, you can learn. | 05:42 |
| Dr_willis | jarn, if its a 'usb' device thats mountable - it dosent matter. its actually a usb 'drive' :) see if ya can see the files on the device. | 05:42 |
| Jucato | K-Ryan: manchicken is just showing us all that he's a wiz :) | 05:42 |
| stdin | N6REJ: no problem :) | 05:43 |
| K-Ryan | manchicken: there should be tutorials for building a simple program right? | 05:43 |
| jarn | Dr_willis: I can... which surprises me, it's an MTP device. | 05:43 |
| gecko_ | K-Ryan: i checked out that site... do i need to get a theme-manager for hese or does kubuntu usually come with it? i thought it didnt..wasnt sure | 05:43 |
| jarn | Dr_willis: Is that normal? | 05:43 |
| esc_ape | gecko_ - using edgy, yes | 05:43 |
| stdin | gecko_: some are on 6.10, some on 6.06 and I'm on 7.04 :) | 05:43 |
| manchicken | K-Ryan: That's why I like the idea of people learning by working with existing programs. | 05:43 |
| K-Ryan | gecko_ you just save the theme and import it from system settings>apearance | 05:43 |
| manchicken | K-Ryan: Existing programs already have build processes. | 05:43 |
| Dr_willis | jarn, every usb gizmo i have - i can access as a usb drive.. :) id guess thats common for 90% of them out. | 05:43 |
| manchicken | K-Ryan: So you don't have to screw with learning to build. | 05:43 |
| gecko_ | K-ryan... ok.. ill try that. | 05:43 |
| K-Ryan | build processes? | 05:43 |
| jarn | Dr_willis: But are any of your devices MTP? | 05:44 |
| gecko_ | stdin: i was gonna try that out... how is it? | 05:44 |
| manchicken | K-Ryan: also, swimming in existing code promotes learning. | 05:44 |
| Dr_willis | jarn, no idea there.. they are old thangs. :) | 05:44 |
| Dr_willis | jarn, i dont even have many any more.. given them all away | 05:44 |
| K-Ryan | manchicken: but i need something to go through it with me showing what does what and what affects what | 05:44 |
| stdin | gecko_: nothing to radical has changed *yet* but it's looking good | 05:44 |
| manchicken | K-Ryan: Existing projects normally have a community support behind them. | 05:45 |
| Jucato | gecko_: just check the CustomizeKubuntu wiki that was mentioned earlier for almost all you theming needs | 05:45 |
| gecko_ | stdin: glitches? bugs? or are they catching them pretty quickly... | 05:45 |
| gecko_ | jucato: what wiki? lol | 05:45 |
| gecko_ | *scrolls back to top* | 05:45 |
| jarn | manchicken: Does your Vision:M show up in Konqueror? | 05:45 |
| Jucato | <ubotwo> gecko_: [Ubuntu] Install gnome-themes or go to menu, system settings, appearance. [KDE] For a good KDE guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu | 05:45 |
| K-Ryan | manchicken: If I found a simple program could you run through it with me? | 05:46 |
| stdin | gecko_: of course there are some bugs, but that's why there are testers like me, to find them :) | 05:46 |
| manchicken | jarn: As a camera. But when I try to access it it fails. | 05:46 |
| Jucato | gecko_: that one ^^^^^ | 05:46 |
| K-Ryan | By the way, what would I use to write C++, program wise | 05:46 |
| jarn | manchicken: Mine shows up as a camera and I can access it. I am quite confused. I'm looking through all the MP3s I have on it. | 05:46 |
| gecko_ | gracias amigos | 05:46 |
| Jucato | K-Ryan: Kate for simple things | 05:46 |
| manchicken | K-Ryan: My development schedule is sporadic, but if you wanted to help out with kubuntu there's a lot of support around it. | 05:46 |
| jarn | manchicken: My MicroPhoto. | 05:46 |
| Jucato | K-Ryan: KDevelop for big projects | 05:46 |
| manchicken | jarn: It's because MTP looks like PTP to HAL. | 05:46 |
| Jucato | (nano for even simpler things) | 05:47 |
| gecko_ | oh... btw... anyone here good with hardware installation..like say a built in web camera to a laptop? lol or is that too advanced? | 05:47 |
| manchicken | Jucato: I use emacs ^_^ | 05:47 |
| K-Ryan | Jucato: What determines project size? | 05:47 |
| Jucato | manchicken: bleh | 05:47 |
| Dr_willis | jarn, its just using a camera icon i am guessing. :) they are all 'usb drives' : | 05:47 |

| manchicken | Jucato: That's just because people insist on using weak editors with no real development going into it anymore (e.g. VI) | 05:50 |

| gecko_ | im lost. haha...i may be in college... but im english major... i only do computer stuff through the air force | 05:51 |
| Jucato | manchicken: I just called them arcane because they require a bit more knowledge to use than most text editors... nothing offensive or negative in that sense :) | 05:51 |
| manchicken | Jucato: I don't really care what editor people use ^_^ | 05:52 |
| K-Ryan | gecko_ it was all sarcasm, i cant code(yet anyway), and i dont play mp3's through kate either =P | 05:52 |
| manchicken | Jucato: As long as they know how to run the basic programming tools. | 05:52 |
| manchicken | Jucato: Debuggers, DBMS', compilers, etc. | 05:52 |
| gecko_ | lol yea.. i know that.. i didnt think u could..i was lost | 05:52 |

| gecko_ | eh... K-Ryan... idk about that. | 05:53 |
| jarn | manchicken: I didn't think it would either since it wasn't supposed to, but I hoped when I could see all my music on it. | 05:53 |
| K-Ryan | gecko_ why not? | 05:53 |
| dawn | the first command worked not the second | 05:53 |
| K-Ryan | Add a tab in the program, set it to use certain codecs, make buttons, assign buttons actions | 05:53 |
| K-Ryan | That can be done can't it? | 05:53 |
| gecko_ | i guess.. i never really thought about it... | 05:53 |
| K-Ryan | Then just make it so when the program opens an mp3 it goes to the mp3 section | 05:53 |

| manchicken | It should be in the drop-down when you click "Add Device" | 06:02 |

| Octarion | Why the IRC goes well but my Web conection doesn't works? Anyone can help me? | 06:03 |

| dawn | and restart, then reconfigure X | 06:06 |
| dawn | I should be able to use 1024x768 | 06:06 |
| stdin | Jucato: I'll do it in a vm first, so I can see if a bug is kde or ubuntu specific :) | 06:06 |
| manchicken | jarn: Ah. Install libmtp-dev and then rebuild and reinstall the debs. | 06:06 |
| manchicken | jarn: Sorry, I forgot to mention that. | 06:06 |
| K-Ryan | manchicken: if you assign "a" to be "a + 1".... | 06:06 |
| dawn | octarion: I had this box setup with 1024x768 | 06:06 |
| Octarion | dawn: Have you tried nvidia-* ? | 06:06 |
| jarn | manchicken: That was already installed when I made the debs. | 06:06 |
| K-Ryan | Let's say A is 2, so that makes it 2 + 1 = a | 06:06 |
| manchicken | jarn: libmtp-dev? Not just libmtp2? | 06:06 |
| dawn | and somehow it got messed up | 06:06 |
| Jucato | stdin: if it's caused by a kde package/binary/file/lib, it's KDE/Kubuntu. simple as that :) | 06:07 |
| matthew0507 | hi, what usually cause the "application X crashed and cause singal 6 (SIGABRT)? happening to me when i try to use Kiso and Knight | 06:07 |
| jarn | manchicken: Oh, nevermind. | 06:07 |
| dawn | nvidia-* | 06:07 |
| dawn | ?? | 06:07 |
| jarn | manchicken: Thanks. :D | 06:07 |
| manchicken | K-Ryan: It's not an equation. It's changing the value. | 06:07 |
| stdin | K-Ryan: you give "a" a value, then say add 1 to it and make that value = "a" | 06:07 |
| Octarion | dawn: let me see... i will look it up | 06:07 |
| K-Ryan | stdin: but wouldnt it just keep repeating? | 06:07 |
| jarn | manchicken: To rebuild the debs, do I do the same thing I did before? apt-get source amarok --compile? | 06:07 |
| manchicken | K-Ryan: No, it's just one line of executable code. | 06:07 |
| manchicken | jarn: Yup. | 06:07 |
| manchicken | jarn: It'll detect the new libraries and recompile MTP device support. | 06:08 |
| K-Ryan | ill deal with it, but i wont like it | 06:08 |
| dawn | heh | 06:08 |
| Octarion | dawn: the package is nvidia-settings | 06:08 |
| manchicken | K-Ryan: Programming is different than math class ^_^ | 06:08 |
| jarn | manchicken: Ah. Thanks. | 06:08 |
| stdin | K-Ryan: no, because once you give "a" a value the code sees "a" as the valuse you give it, not the variable, confusing I know :P | 06:08 |
| dawn | hmmm nvia settings are already installed through automatix | 06:08 |
| K-Ryan | yes, quite confusing indeed | 06:08 |
| K-Ryan | Except I get it | 06:09 |
| K-Ryan | I just don't like it | 06:09 |
| dawn | maybe I should be using new drivers? | 06:09 |
| manchicken | K-Ryan: You're giving the computer instructions. You're saying "a already has a value, now we want you to add 1 to it." | 06:09 |
| Jucato | not really confusing once you understand programming != algebra | 06:09 |
| K-Ryan | Yeah, but I still don't like it =) | 06:09 |

| esc_ape | gdk or gtk? | 07:10 |
| newlinuxguy | unfortunately I must have an imperfect cd because it has various errors | 07:10 |
| Pekke | gdk | 07:10 |

| gecko_ | i just installed kubuntu.... | 07:11 |
| Pekke | :Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes) | 07:11 |

| newlinuxguy | great | 07:12 |

| Cuddles_in_KY | genii, the only files there are bcm43xx64.cat, bcm43xx.cat, bcmwl564.sys, bcmwl5.sys, and lsbcmnds.inf | 07:50 |
| Cuddles_in_KY | genii, as for the downloaded file, i have no way to extract it. | 07:51 |
| gecko_ | ok.something happend..and now when i hover at the bottom..it doesnt show? lol | 07:52 |
| genii | Cuddles_in_KY I think I would copy the lsbcmnds.inf file to hd, change the extension to txt then try an editor on it again | 07:52 |
| Cuddles_in_KY | genii, i can open it in kate, i just get the warning about saving a binary file. | 07:52 |
| Cuddles_in_KY | genii, and it does appear to be mostly text | 07:53 |
| genii | Cuddles_in_KY So then perhaps do a check in it for the device name and if it looks alright, it should be the file it wants | 07:54 |

| Cuddles_in_KY | esc_ape, should i try using this binary .inf? | 07:56 |
| Cuddles_in_KY | genii, strangely, i find no mention of my card in that file | 07:56 |
| esc_ape | maybe you downloaded the wrong one | 07:56 |
| genii | Cuddles_in_KY Since it's the only inf file to be found it must be that one or nothing (is my thinking) | 07:57 |
| Cuddles_in_KY | esc_ape, no, this is on the cd that came with the card | 07:57 |
| esc_ape | then try it | 07:58 |

| surgy | so i can setup my xbox controller just like a mouse? | 08:11 |
| surgy | but then how do i calibrate it? and set which physicle button is which button number? | 08:12 |
| surgy | well im seeing it here but there isnt a gui? | 08:12 |
| genii | surgy Well if it's seeing it as a wacom or such, then I would look more into devices of that sort first. But if it sees it as a mouse right now I'd just chance adding more buttons to the input device section. But your mileage may vary | 08:13 |

| Jarn | When I do apt-get update, it updates 50-60 sources, but I only have ~20 in my sources.list. Also, a lot get ignored only to be done again later. | 08:42 |
| ForgeAus | ok /dev/sdb1 w95 FAT32 (LBA) | 08:42 |
| ForgeAus | ahh its not it sdb3 | 08:42 |
| ForgeAus | coz sdb2 is an extended partition | 08:42 |
| Cuddles_in_KY | genii, running wlassistant gives me ''no usable wireless devices found. wireless assistant will now quit'' | 08:42 |
| genii | Cuddles_in_KY Well, hopefully the card should work after the first section, which would be for any ubuntu version, kubuntu inclusive. After a reboot you can check for the driver by command-line lsmod|grep bcm* and hopefully see that the driver has been loaded | 08:42 |

| genii | nate_ OK good. So boot to safe kernel. Then do: fsck -y /dev/sda7 | 09:32 |

| nate_ | ok thanks ill try that and hopefully be back | 09:32 |

| genii | If it does that try booting to live cd and do an fsck from there instead | 09:33 |

| ForgeAus | ok | 09:33 |
| ForgeAus | well its still not booting from that config | 09:33 |

| stdin | genii: I have a /bin/dir which seems to be a copy of /bin/ls , I didn't do that :P | 09:51 |
| Jarn | I have a flash drive and an external hard drive that have different file systems but I plug them into the same USB port depending on which one I use. The problem is since they have different fs types, I have to edit fstab every time. Is there a way to make it autodetect? | 09:51 |

| Linux_Galore | premier_: yeah, very simple | 09:51 |
| stdin | Jarn: you shouldn't put removable devices in fstab | 09:51 |

| stdin | Jarn: it should work the same with any external device, defiantly if its USB | 09:57 |
| premier_ | about 87, but only 25 is used | 09:57 |
| premier_ | do they have a package for ubuntu? | 09:58 |
| genii | premier_ You can easily backup the entire drive then with the dd method to a file on the external | 09:58 |
| premier_ | how do I do that? | 09:58 |
| Linux_Galore | premier_: now, you have to download it and compile it, you can use kompile for that (yes thats on the repo) | 09:58 |
| Linux_Galore | s/now/no | 09:58 |
| premier_ | will the file be 25 gigs or 87? | 09:58 |
| premier_ | i just got a strange error code on apt-get | 09:59 |
| premier_ | can I paste bin it? | 09:59 |
| genii | premier if internal hd is hda for example, you can backup the entire thing without specifying a partiton number | 10:00 |
| Jarn | When I restart my computer, it restarts fine. If I tell it to shut down, it stops when the loading screen bar get's empty, when it should turn itself off. | 10:00 |
| premier_ | my internal is called sda for some reason | 10:00 |
| premier_ | windows is on sda2, linux sda3 | 10:00 |

| premier_ | http://pastebin.com/863426 I never had that happen to me before | 10:02 |
| premier_ | hmm... is there a quicker way? | 10:02 |
| premier_ | genii? | 10:02 |
| genii | premier_ There are some switches you can pass to the dd command which will speed it up some but it will still take a while | 10:03 |
| premier_ | hmmm.... | 10:03 |
| genii | premier_ But I have to stress that the advantage of the dd is that it doesn't care about the contents, it just does a bit by bit straight copy. So if things get entirely messed you can revert by just copying the image back | 10:05 |

| stdin | ForgeAus: yes, that's the third partition | 10:25 |
| genii | jarn It decides which plug and play devices should get which interrupts and which other devices may need fixed interrupts and things of this sort | 10:25 |
| Linux_Galore | manchicken: seems to me if you do the dapper-edgy update because there is a mesa breakage it doesnt install a few things, then later if you try and add qt3-mt-dev stuff it then complain about mesa, then you try install the mesa stuff and then it complains the mesa packages have a version problem | 10:25 |
| jarn | genii: What are interrupts? | 10:25 |
| manchicken | Linux_Galore: I've seen a lot of people who had a hard time going from dapper to edgy. | 10:26 |
| genii | jarn The noapic switch is usually more useful with motherboards using VIA chipsets with strange interrupt controller chips | 10:26 |

| === nefast__ [n=nefast@host-84-223-187-4.cust-adsl.tiscali.it] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| genii | premier_ If you are going to be using it to backup the entire drive you may want to boot a livecd to run it. If only 1 partition then you can do it from the same drive, so long as the destination drive is not mounted under the partition you are trying to copy | 10:34 |
| premier_ | okay, I can do that. Whats the command line to do it? the man page isnt very clear | 10:34 |
| genii | premier_ Yes, you can use it on the entire drive or only a single partition, as you like | 10:34 |
| ForgeAus | stdin I'm reinstalling | 10:34 |
| Linux_Galore | well basically if I try and install libqt3-mt-dev is complains about libgl1-mesa-dev not being there, I go and try get the mesa dev stuff installed then then it complains about it breaking the install because there is a version problem | 10:34 |

| genii | premier if for instance the /mnt dir is not in the partition you are trying to copy and the external drive is mounted there as for instance /mnt/external and the partition you wish to backup is say hda3 then the dd command would be like: sudo dd if=/dev/hda3 of=/mnt/external/mybackup1.img | 10:36 |
| genii | premier_ That will put a file mybackup1.img on the external drive of the entire hda3 partition | 10:37 |

| genii | premier_ Before you resize everything make sure you know the exact start and end of each partition so if neccesary you can make an exact sized one to copy the image back to in case | 10:43 |
| premier_ | how should I do that, exactly? | 10:43 |
| genii | premier_ For that I normally go into the fdisk program, do a "p" then copy the info down | 10:44 |
| genii | premier_ like: fdisk /dev/hda will tell you all the start and stop points when you do "p" | 10:44 |

| macvek | As far as i understand genii is installing drivers from file such as NVIDIA*.run, i have the same situation, and after compiling the driver you have to check if in xorg.conf X uses nvidia drivers, not nv | 12:07 |
| mena | Why My partition Didnt Appear As i renamed them by the tune2fs | 12:07 |
| genii | carl I was having similar issues with an ATI card but I had to eventually revert to the vesa driver in the end. With the nvidia cards you'd have to find someone around here with a similar setup to help, I suspect | 12:07 |
| carl | ok | 12:07 |
| carl | I'll try your tip though | 12:07 |
| carl | maybe it'll work | 12:08 |

| genii | carl Good luck :) | 12:08 |
| mena | genii, Are You Busy | 12:08 |
| genii | mena Not too much. You tried to rename your partitions? | 12:08 |
| mena | genii, yes and i did but in the storeage media browser they appear such as hda5 | 12:09 |
| genii | mena Yes, they will always appear with those names because those are the names of the devices | 12:09 |
| mena | genii, so they will not appear as i would them | 12:10 |

| derren_ | i love you | 12:17 |
| === sahin_h [n=ezaz@dsl5400DB98.pool.t-online.hu] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| genii | mena So if you want to put some names that are understandable for the names like hda1 and so on, you cannot change the names of the devices for instance. What is a common thing to do is instead make a directory in a place like /mnt with the name you like to use and make it just point to the real mount place or name | 12:18 |
| macvek | because, when i was instaling this drivers, i had to recompile kernel, because drivers needed some files from kernel source, to create nvidia.ko module | 12:18 |
| mena | genii, okay how to make it | 12:19 |
| mena | how to make it point to the rel mount | 12:20 |
| macvek | and then after installation, i only had to change i xorg.conf drivers to nvidia, from nv and it worked, with full opengl suport | 12:20 |
| mena | genii, by make a link to the partition as example | 12:20 |
| genii | mena OK, first to decide what names you like for what devices. So maybe hda4 is where you put mp3 files for instance. So the place it is mounted is somewhere like maybe /media//hda4 | 12:20 |
| mena | genii. yes i know that okay then | 12:21 |
| carl | hmm, this was a looong setup x) | 12:22 |
| carl | but shouldn't I disable dri? | 12:22 |
| adaptr | yes | 12:22 |
| genii | mena So in konsole you do like: sudo ln -s /media/hda1 /mnt/mp3 | 12:22 |
| mena | okay | 12:23 |
| genii | mena Then going to /mnt/mp3 is the same as going to the non-descriptive name like hda1 | 12:23 |
| mena | ohh cool | 12:23 |
| mena | Great | 12:23 |
| mena | okay | 12:23 |
| mena | i will try now | 12:23 |

| macvek | carl, first thing to check is if you have in /lib/modules/YOURKERNELVERSION/kernel/drivers/ file nvidia.ko (if you're useing 2.6 kernel) | 12:25 |
| mena | genii , no | 12:25 |
| macvek | */drivers/video | 12:25 |

| === scrav [n=scrav@h14n1fls34o972.telia.com] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| genii | mena The ln command will make the last name but not the directory it goes into for example.

| mouse-maniac | but for some strange reason gives me lcd problems | 03:19 |
| genii | Well I've had to deal with Xandros before but I'm not neccesarily an expert with it. It's basically another debian based distro like ubuntu or knoppix but with some more commercial-type features like codeweavers etc | 03:19 |
| mouse-maniac | no im on xp and not english sorry | 03:19 |
| lotusleaf | mouse-maniac: I see :) | 03:19 |
| lotusleaf | mouse-maniac: did you mean "double partition" ? | 03:19 |
| mouse-maniac | xandros is the best for begginers just to $ | 03:19 |
| mouse-maniac | yes | 03:20 |
| mouse-maniac | thanx | 03:20 |
| switchkill | yeah it fetched 3B | 03:20 |
| mouse-maniac | what im trying to say xandros and fedora 6 did my dubble partion from xp whit one click using anaconda | 03:20 |
| lotusleaf | mouse-maniac: I find Ubuntu best for beginners, but this isn't a cross-distro comparison channel. Try #linux for general chat. | 03:20 |
| deviant | switchkill : Great, Now try sudo apt-get install w32codecs | 03:20 |
| lotusleaf | mouse-maniac: Use what works for you. | 03:20 |
| BluesKaj | isn't Xandros a commercial distro ? | 03:20 |

| mouse-maniac | no im just asking if they will put a dubble partioner good as anaconda on ubuntu to as i see it's hard to manualy do it now | 03:21 |

| genii | BluesKaj Yes, it is what used to be Corel Linux but now Xandros. Based in Ottawa. They tried to make a deal with us as an ISP where we put it instead of Kubuntu and they would charge ppl some fee to get extras like codeweavers or ooother stuff like xdms server | 03:22 |
| switchkill | thanks | 03:22 |

| lotusleaf | mouse-maniac: I feel that Kubuntu and Ubuntu are both excellent for beginners. I've preloaded several systems with each for people aged 70 and above who knew little to nothing about computers and previously used Windows. If they can use it, anyone can. | 03:24 |

| genii | deviant Yeah same kind of mentality | 03:24 |
| mouse-maniac | btw i must thank u for this so user friendly comunity and biggest the other ones are cold and rude 90% | 03:24 |
| bronze_0_1 | deviant: works! Thank you for the info. More info: had to log the user out and back in again in order for the change to take affect. Restarting xmms wasn't suficient. (This tells me I need more coffee, a change to /etc.groups cannot affect an already existing set of user processes or any spwaned from those ) | 03:24 |

| BluesKaj | suse was ok , and it would be much better if they found a better source pkg system | 04:00 |
| genii | heat839 What is better is to figure out what the original drive was being set to. Then try to arrange the drives in such a way physically so the bootable drive has the same designation as before | 04:00 |
| MidMark | Jucato: anyway in kickoff there is suspend/freeze button... it's strange | 04:00 |

| ForgeAus | dunno why but it'd called itself hd0 instead of 1 | 04:01 |

| genii | heat839 Still sounds like a mixup with the drive designations. When grub goes to Windows it is usually specifying something like HD(),1) or so. But when linux tries to mount / it is trying /dev/sda2 or similar. So one of the other drives is becoming linux device sda for example | 04:03 |

| K-Ryan | raz0r Kubuntu comes with Ark | 06:03 |

| bronze_0_1 | Linux is very friendly. TMTOWTDI | 06:05 |

| raz0r | i got kubuntu..which one then | 06:25 |

| raz0r | what about the bz2 file ? | 06:27 |
| Schuenemann | BluesKaj: but that says slow WEB BROWSING | 06:27 |
| Schuenemann | the connection is normal, it's the UI | 06:27 |
| Jucato | raz0r: you need bunzip I think | 06:27 |
| Jucato | raz0r: you see, Ark is just a fancy GUI for tar, zip, rar, bunzip, etc. | 06:27 |
| BluesKaj | ipv4 is the std right now ipv6 is experimental: hence slow | 06:27 |
| Schuenemann | since that happens only to firefox and thunderbird, I suspect it's because of GTK | 06:27 |

| ubotu | To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. | 08:30 |
| gnomefreak | [BTF] Chm0d: i used nautilus but you can use konq. in the same way. open konq and navagate to ~/.kde/share than right click and make folder name the folder autostart than open autostart and right clikc make text file and name it panel.desktop | 08:30 |
| [BTF] Chm0d | and i created a file panel.desktop with the folloing | 08:30 |

| makuseru | alt f2 is run | 09:39 |
| makuseru | i did that and its like a console | 09:39 |

| nagyv | surgy: I don't have an ipod, but try accessing it without mounting. As I now amarok should recognize the device, not the mount options/point. | 09:46 |
| DeadFishMan | makuseru: Xterm won't give you graphic output (unless the application that you are trying to use has a ncurses-like interface) | 09:46 |
| makuseru | i noticed | 09:46 |
| DeadFishMan | makuseru: Blender itself has shortcuts for that. IIRC, Alt + Up key changes it from fullscreen to window mode but I am not sure | 09:47 |
| surgy | nagyv: thats the problem it doesnt recognize it i cant access it at all, the only thing that kubuntu will show is in kinfocenter it says "usb device: ipod" | 09:47 |
| DeadFishMan | DeadFishMan: However, Blender really makes good use of screen state so if you are planning to use it long term, why don't you dedicate a virtual desktop just for it? | 09:48 |
