| llisper | How to choose another application for given starting letters? | 01:35 |
| Jucato | intelikey: not really that odd. the action of adding the system tray applet comes from the Add Applet dialog box, so it knows that the applet was added to the panel and therefore removes it from the list. removing the applet from the panel, however, doesn't come from the dialog box | 01:35 |

| Jucato | llisper: "Firefox W..."? | 01:41 |
| flaccid | has firefox 2 been backported to dapper yet? | 01:43 |
| Jucato | I don't think it will | 01:43 |
| flaccid | probably too much work for them | 01:43 |
| Jucato | more of too many dependencies that would/could break Dapper's stability | 01:43 |
| flaccid | i'd love to know what the actual issue is. probably packagers stuffing around way too much with packages | 01:43 |
| llisper | Jucato: I want to launch firefox, but it selects a folder named firefox and does not get firefox selected | 01:44 |
| flaccid | yeah coz they fork stuff way too much in ubuntu | 01:44 |

| === ubuntu is now known as Eons | ||
| Jucato | flaccid: they can also be told that *that* particular release of Kubuntu can't support the new firefox, but more recent releases can | 01:50 |
| Jucato | Dapper was never meant to be a release that will have the latest versions | 01:50 |
| Bxnp | just go to the firefox and download the latest version | 01:51 |
| Bxnp | and make symlinks for your old plugins | 01:51 |
| Bxnp | you dont have to wait before someone puts int in dapper | 01:51 |
| intelikey | dapper was 'supposed' to be meant for stability... | 01:51 |
| flaccid | sorry but i think you are missing the point jucy. normal users don't care abou the technical. they just see it has i downloaded the lastest stable 2 weeks ago and firefox2 came out and my OS can't even support it! | 01:52 |
| Jucato | anyway, like I said, the conversation is getting offtopic. feel free to carry it on in #kubuntu-offtopic | 01:52 |

| flaccid | no reason to go hectic on me when i said i have nothing more to say :) | 01:55 |

| flaccid | because i develop websites, not mozilla ? | 01:59 |
| eimajenthat | It's not that Microsoft-ish. Microsoft would charge $500 for edgy, instead of making it free. And FF1 would have serious security issues, rather than working quite well, as it does IMHO. | 01:59 |
| Jucato | flaccid: users need to get used to the concept of what LTS is. it's a new idea to Ubuntu so a lot of misconceptions happen. | 02:00 |

All worked well, but skype, gizmo and wengo would have problems with voice. I tried | 02:28 |
| slyfox | everything that I knew (I know very little I am a noob) and nothing worked. So I reintalled Kubuntu again now without the latest KDE and just did everything as I did efore but without ugrading to the latest KDE. Skype works well. Is there a bug in latest KDE I should report ? | 02:28 |

| intelikey | harden in short it sounds like you ran something like konqueror with sudo konqueror and messed up permissions in your home. command would look something like the exampel here: sudo chown -R muskrat:muskrat /home/muskrat | 02:29 |

| tamacracker | yes | 03:04 |

| ForgeAus | its a bit more manual tho | 03:21 |
| underdog5004 | doesn't synaptic cover all packages for debian? | 03:21 |
| _spaz | is anyone gonna help me? | 03:21 |
| ForgeAus | but I can add slackware packages to it! lol (warning: this is not recommended) | 03:21 |
| premier_ | does anyone here know about kbluetoothd? I thinks its running, but I dont have the icon in my system tray | 03:22 |
| ForgeAus | (if your an advanced user most slackware binaries are ok, its source packages where you run into trouble) | 03:22 |
| intelikey | underdog5004 yes and so do apt aptitude adept deselect and kpackage | 03:22 |
| underdog5004 | _spaz, the only thing I can think of, is this...make sure your soundcard is set to full-duplex in System Settings | 03:22 |
| intelikey | all are frontends to dpkg | 03:23 |
| underdog5004 | intelikey, ah | 03:23 |
| josh_ | is the new kubuntu actually stable | 03:23 |
| _spaz | mmkay | 03:23 |
| _spaz | laters | 03:23 |
| ForgeAus | (installpkg works fine if you simply copy it from a slackware (11.0 at least) ... but I suggest also copy over the additional tar binary) | 03:23 |
| underdog5004 | intelikey, apt is a frontend for dpkg? | 03:23 |
| intelikey | yes | 03:23 |
| ForgeAus | underdog basically yeah | 03:23 |
| ForgeAus | so is aptitude | 03:23 |
| intelikey | all of them. | 03:23 |
| ForgeAus | synaptic :) | 03:23 |
| underdog5004 | lol, synaptic is a frontend for a frontend? | 03:23 |
| underdog5004 | I love learning things | 03:24 |
| ForgeAus | yes | 03:24 |
| ForgeAus | synaptic is a gui front end for dkpg (which is a console app) | 03:24 |
| will | Jucato: I'm not sure how to access pastebin from the command line | 03:24 |
| ForgeAus | actually that means its not a frontend for a frontend | 03:24 |

| ForgeAus | hmmm I'm not sure if it uses apt-get or dpkg but I would have thought it was dpkg | 03:25 |
| intelikey | anyone that questions that let them sudo mv /usr/bin/dpkg /root/ and then try to use any of the "so called" package managers in *buntu | 03:25 |
| ForgeAus | (because it prompts you to use dpkg --configure -a when some packages don't install) | 03:25 |
| dwidmann | ForgeAus, it uses libapt, AFAIK | 03:25 |
| dwidmann | and its dependencies list agrees with me | 03:26 |
| ForgeAus | ok interesting then perhaps it IS a frontend for apt-get... strange... is apt-get what manages the dependancies?) | 03:26 |
| intelikey | no dpkg is | 03:26 |
| ForgeAus | ahh good to know thats at the lower level :) | 03:27 |

| ForgeAus | I don't know all the things it said were upgradable | 03:33 |
| ForgeAus | I didn't actually read the list | 03:33 |
| intelikey | ForgeAus you are not getting to the root fs. that's an initramfs with a busybox shell so you can diagnose and fix the error. you probably need to do this from the live CD "sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt ;sudo chroot /mnt mkinitramfs -o /boot/initrd.img-<version> <version> " you can check the version with ls /mnt/boot/ and look at the latest vmlinuz* | 03:34 |

| Minataku | DrunkPikachu: Sure, but you'll need to keep the busybox binary if it has one | 04:10 |
| ForgeAus | yup thats how I did it | 04:10 |
| ForgeAus | worked for me | 04:10 |
| Bxnp | let me look at it | 04:10 |
| Minataku | Since that's what provides the shell | 04:10 |
| ForgeAus | I don't get why its not working for you tho | 04:10 |
| Minataku | As for breaking it, use QEMU | 04:11 |
| Minataku | And make a copy of the floppy image | 04:11 |
| Bxnp | btw i noticed yesterday that you have some thing wich you have to change cause you get strange error message in the konsole when you started ksnapshot | 04:11 |
| Minataku | That way if you break it you just start over | 04:11 |
| ForgeAus | hmmm | 04:11 |
| surgy | bxnp: i did a fresh install about 5 hours ago | 04:11 |
| DrunkPikachu | Minataku: another question (possibly stupid), Are the distros hard coded to work only on a floppy or would it not care to be put onto a cd-rw | 04:11 |
| Bxnp | dont reinstall surgy just fix your problems | 04:12 |
| Bxnp | reinstall is a waste of time, or you have to be an installer junky :) | 04:12 |
| Bxnp | anyway | 04:12 |
| Minataku | DrunkPikachu: I don't think it's possible to hardcode them | 04:12 |
| surgy | bxnp: i couldnt do anything to get help, my restart switch wasnt rebooting, my cdrom wasnt ejecting and i couldnt sign in as any user | 04:12 |
| Minataku | It might be a challenge getting it to work, though | 04:12 |
| Bxnp | ehm | 04:12 |
| jjesse | where should the location of the directory of C header files be? i have /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.17-10/generic/nclude | 04:12 |
| Bxnp | listen do this for me | 04:13 |
| Minataku | Since CD booting is entirely different (actually, it isn't, but that's another story) | 04:13 |
| surgy | bxnp: pm me please | 04:13 |
| Minataku | El Torito, the standard for bootable CDs basically uses a bootable floppy disk image | 04:13 |

| Yourname | Hi, I got D-Link DWL-G122 Rev. C1, on a freshly installed Kubuntu Edgy. Wireless Assistant 0.5.5 seems to have it under wlan0, and it's able to scan networks without me doing any extra work.. but it's not connecting. Is there anything I need to do? I'm connecting to a no-security AP. | 04:17 |
| Minataku | But seriously, you might get in trouble for doing it this way | 04:17 |
| Minataku | In fact, you probably will | 04:17 |
| ForgeAus | Yourname? perhaps you need to give it an SSID or something somewhere along the line? | 04:17 |
| Minataku | Personally, I'd search more for how to really do it | 04:17 |
| === drbeams [n=chatzill@24.225.22.191] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| Yourname | ForgeAus: It scanned, and it got the AP I want, and I tried to connect, and it doesn't. | 04:17 |
| ForgeAus | I'm not certain how kubuntu Edgy's wireless software works but theres two things to try 1 is try changing channels (sometimes things work on one but not on another) | 04:18 |
| drbeams | how do i find out who httpd user is ? | 04:18 |
| DrunkPikachu | Minataku: the more I search the more I'm thinking this is going to be a complete impossibility considering I don't know enough about how the system files are set up. $10 says only one other person might actually get this assignment done (his job requires him to work in linux). | 04:18 |
| ForgeAus | another is SSID's... find where it asks you for the security Identifier | 04:18 |
| Minataku | DrunkPikachu: In that case, don't do it | 04:18 |
| Minataku | Or ask him | 04:18 |
| Minataku | lol | 04:18 |
| Minataku | DrunkPikachu: But seriously, I wouldn't cheat | 04:19 |
| ForgeAus | (the one you should have set in your wireless access point device) | 04:19 |
| Minataku | DrunkPikachu: BTW, you were joking about the suing, right? ( Sorry, I have an OCD and can't handle jokes like that very well >.< ( | 04:19 |

| will | jucato: you still around? | 04:20 |
| ForgeAus | one the channel (in which case normally it wouldn't detect)... | 04:20 |

| Minataku | For the "working" system it won't need a huge amount of space | 04:30 |
| Minataku | DrunkPikachu: You'll need to wipe the key | 04:31 |
| Minataku | Which is why I suggested getting a "cheap as you can find" one | 04:31 |
| ForgeAus | mup.sys? whats that file? | 04:31 |
| DrunkPikachu | I didn't know it could be completely wiped of it's filesystem, but then again, I've never tried | 04:31 |
| ForgeAus | doesn't ring any bells | 04:31 |
| Minataku | 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, whichever's smallest or cheapest | 04:31 |
| ForgeAus | 128 or 512 are the ones I'd recommend | 04:32 |
| DrunkPikachu | forgeAus, ussually when you get a mup.sys error, it means that about 1/2 of your windows dll files are missing or corrupted. There is no definate fix, although sometimes you can run a windows repair | 04:32 |
| Bxnp | will: could you not format your external disk as fat 32 | 04:32 |
| ForgeAus | hehe i'm used to the repair... | 04:32 |
| Minataku | DrunkPikachu: Now you don't have to cheat and get in trouble, and I don't have to get sued by you :D | 04:32 |

| ceefour | ForgeAus: At least ext2 is way much better than either NTFS or FAT32 | 05:13 |
| Dr_willis | ceefour, you do NOT need to format it as ext2.. if its ext3. the 'drivers' should access it also. | 05:13 |

| ceefour | Dr_willis: it had worked for me sometimes. It didn't work for a Creative SBLive card though. I guess Microsoft didn't know SBLive existed. | 05:27 |
| ceefour | Dr_willis: Although it happily installed the CMedia integrated soundcard without problems. go figure. | 05:27 |
| surgy | forgeaus: but they support up to 3mbps which is nice and its only 45$ here | 05:28 |
| ceefour | surgy: 300 Kbps download speed? | 05:28 |
| ForgeAus | Microsoft should work with SBLive | 05:28 |
| ceefour | surgy: Or 300 KByte ps? | 05:28 |
| ForgeAus | I'm sure I had XP and win98 runnign with it just fine | 05:28 |
| surgy | ceefour: yeah usually | 05:28 |
| DrunkPikachu | Microsoft should work with most everything, but it doesn't | 05:28 |
| surgy | ceefour: umm whats the diff? | 05:28 |
| Dr_willis | ceefour, creative does have a activex/website that scans and installs the drivers/tools for their cards.. hp does also for their printer/scanners. :) but ya have to use IE to get that to work. | 05:28 |
| ForgeAus | yeah that about waht I'm paying 45 p/m | 05:28 |
| ceefour | ForgeAus: it worked fine but I had to manually install SBLive driver from creative site. Not using the "Found New Hardware wizard" | 05:28 |
| surgy | ok rebooting brb | 05:29 |
| ForgeAus | ceefour ohhh kay... strange.... | 05:29 |
| ForgeAus | anyway I better reset see if I fixed my ubuntu | 05:29 |
| ceefour | Dr_willis: the ironic part is that searching for drivers on google will most likely end up with spyware on your PC :-( | 05:29 |
| ceefour | Dr_willis: I wonder if that's gonna happen to with Linux systems when we grow up (user base) | 05:30 |
| DrunkPikachu | ceefour: I just LOVE those sites that make you pay to downlaod the driver. Either that or view 29 ads before-hand | 05:30 |
| dwidmann | DrunkPikachu: that sounds evil. | 05:31 |
| DrunkPikachu | next ad -> next ad ->next ad ->next ad ->next ad ->next ad ->next ad ->next ad ->next ad ->next ad ->next ad ->next ad ->next ad ->next ad ->next ad -> download -> 404 file not found | 05:31 |

| ceefour | dwidmann: (I mean it. I have a Microsoft Internet Pro Keyboard & mouse that was given as a gift) | 05:38 |
| dwidmann | Something made by microsoft that's actually wearproof? :O | 05:38 |
| DrunkPikachu | I'd say BF1942/2/2142 endanger my mouse more than ads. | 05:38 |
| DrunkPikachu | that, and my wrists | 05:38 |
| ceefour | dwidmann: Well all I can say is that their hardware is much much more wearproof than their OS or any of their software | 05:39 |
| DrunkPikachu | ceefour: my max payne mousepad outlived pretty much every peice of hardware I've ever owned | 05:39 |
| dwidmann | and here I was under the impression that the first time microsoft would make something that wouldn't suck would be when they started making vacuum cleaners. | 05:39 |
| ceefour | dwidmann: the keyboard & mouse is from 2000 and it hadn't shown any problems. not a missing button nor anything. they haven't had WinXP back then. | 05:39 |
| DrunkPikachu | I take that back, it's between that mousepad and my MS sidewinder 2 joystick. The only solid product MS ever put out. Then they just had to discontinue the line ... !@#$!@#$!@#$ | 05:40 |
| ceefour | dwidmann: well too bad the vacuum cleaner doesn't boot because of corrupted filesystem but we use it as a broom instead :P | 05:40 |
| dwidmann | my last three or 4 mouses were junk, and were thrown away as such ... | 05:41 |
| dwidmann | ceefour: that's hilarious | 05:41 |
| ceefour | DrunkPikachu: I thought Sidewinder was popular because it's name was printed on almost EVERY game's README/FAQ/TROUBLESHOOTING section out there? | 05:41 |

| ForgeAus | (75% through the bar | 05:42 |
| DrunkPikachu | ceefour: most of the products like the joypads were crap. But read up on the joystick and it's one of the best sub $50 joysticks ever made. I've beaten that thing into the ground and it still works perfectly (albeit a little loose). | 05:42 |
| ceefour | dwidmann: I work in a hardware store and the mice (cheaper ones) really suck and unreliable. The fact that I own a Microsoft mouse is really enlighting and I'm surprised Microsoft made such quality products. | 05:43 |

| DrunkPikachu | ceefour: I wouldn't blame them, unless they had the cash to spend on chpro hardware | 05:46 |

| dwidmann | ForgeAus: fat chance making that happen | 05:48 |
| DrunkPikachu | get some glorious feedback from your mic | 05:49 |
| DrunkPikachu | make your ears bleed | 05:49 |
| ceefour | DrunkPikachu: I have quite some problems with any optical mice. well the surfaces of course. I heard laser mice eliminated that problem. | 05:49 |
| DrunkPikachu | ceefour: I've never had problems with my optical on cloth mousepads (I miss thee, max payne pad) | 05:49 |
| dwidmann | ceefour, I should go borrow my brothers laser mouse and try it on my desk. Which happens to be made of tempered blue glass. | 05:50 |
| DrunkPikachu | Although lately I've been using my wacom tablet for general work/browsing | 05:50 |

| ceefour | DrunkPikachu: some mousepads are actually reflective. I guess they didn't know optical mice had been invented. | 05:50 |

| Dr_willis | The wacom tablet is included by default in the xorg.conf | 05:51 |
| ForgeAus | do wacom tablets work via synaptic drivers? | 05:51 |
| ForgeAus | oh | 05:51 |
| ForgeAus | ok | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | and no - i dont know why they do it that way. :) | 05:51 |
| ForgeAus | hmmm | 05:51 |
| ceefour | Dr_willis: I wonder why. Errors aren't very pretty to look at. Especially when you launch something from Konsole | 05:51 |
| ForgeAus | so how do I find out what I'm missing from ubuntu-minimal? | 05:51 |
| DrunkPikachu | ceefour: I haven't even tried connecting it. The whole wireless/graphics card issues which harass me every time I install linux have turned me off from trying to put more hardware onl. | 05:51 |
| ceefour | Dr_willis: or you look at Xorg logs | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | i feel the whole way the x.org file is setup.. needs work.. :) | 05:52 |

| ForgeAus | (without starting fresh) | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | ForgeAus, i dont think the live cd can do a minimal install. | 05:53 |
| ceefour | DrunkPikachu: Seriously, hardware vendors should support Linux more. I mean, that $200+/PC for Vista should have gone e.g. into NVIDIA's pocket for better GFX card. Wouldn't that make NVIDIA happier? | 05:53 |
| ForgeAus | Dr Willis I mean the unbuntu-minimal package | 05:53 |
| DrunkPikachu | dwidmann: that's a hard thing to do when you're buying a budget laptop. | 05:53 |
| ForgeAus | even if I get it from the net | 05:53 |
| dwidmann | Dr_Willis: well, the closest thing to a minimal you can do with the livecd would be to debootstrap it ... | 05:53 |
| DrunkPikachu | dwidmann: If I had the cash for a thinkpad, I'd be all over it | 05:53 |

| Dr_willis | 15k :) now THATS minimal | 05:53 |
| ForgeAus | lol its a metapackage | 05:53 |
| ForgeAus | I think | 05:53 |
| Dr_willis | thats my guess also | 05:54 |
| Dr_willis | heh | 05:54 |
| ForgeAus | its the dependancies that are big probly | 05:54 |
| ForgeAus | I managed to copy most of it back from the live CD | 05:54 |

| dwidmann | anything modern uses 24-bit color AFAIK. Depending where I set the date of modern at, keeping in mind that 1999 was the stone age. | 06:11 |

| JackBandit | ceefour: opps, well I guess I will try removing afterstep and seeing what that would do for me. Maybe that would be of some help. Guess it cant hurt too much to try. I didnt think color issues would follow you from one desktop enverioment to another | 06:12 |
| Dr_willis | ceefour, i rember some windows program ( that cheap MS wordprocessor?) that wouldent even Install OR uninstall if you were 256 colors... | 06:12 |

| === Dr_willis is in Indiana :) | ||
| Dr_willis | thats about as far from Indonesia as one can get... | 06:16 |

| Dr_willis | store? on a hard drive. :) | 06:19 |
| DrunkPikachu | ceefour: non technical people making demands? Sounds like retail to me.. "Yo quero un sony viao con un (broken english) 'jigabyte' de ram." | 06:20 |
| ceefour | I used to create /shared directory. I thought it'd be better to make /home/ceefour/shared and then /shared is only a symlink? | 06:20 |
| === narg_ is now known as narg | ||
| Dr_willis | ceefour, you can set up the users /home/whatever dirs to be automatically shared | 06:20 |
| intelikey | ceefour maybe reverse that ? | 06:20 |
| Dr_willis | symbolic links and 'shares' often causes problems | 06:20 |
| DrunkPikachu | Time, share.... Timeshare! | 06:21 |
| ceefour | What I want is that I have a partition that stores all data. And a "system" partition that is disposable. | 06:21 |
| === Dr_willis sells DrunkPikachu a Affordable Time Share | ||
| === DrunkPikachu doesn't want it | ||
| Dr_willis | ceefour, edit your samba config files then to share them as ya want. | 06:21 |
| ceefour | I don't want to have lots of partition. | 06:21 |
| underdog5004 | DrunkPikachu, a man came into the shop where I work, talking about about jigabytes of Ram...I almost killed him | 06:21 |
| DrunkPikachu | haha | 06:21 |
| ceefour | What I meant by "sharing" isn't network share. But just shared among users of the same computer. Or something that's accessible by a group. | 06:22 |
| DrunkPikachu | 70% of the time they turn around when they see what it actually costs | 06:22 |
| intelikey | Dr_willis while you are around, do you know of anyway that one could make a common point redirrect to user specific point ? | 06:22 |
| underdog5004 | ceefour, I prefer to make a small / partition and a large /home partition | 06:22 |
| Dr_willis | intelikey, liek make /homedirs point to /home/bubba for user bubba.. but /home/bob for user bob? | 06:22 |
| intelikey | example: ln -s /tmp /~/tmp | 06:22 |
| ceefour | underdog5004: I do the same too | 06:22 |
| intelikey | Dr_willis yes | 06:22 |
| ceefour | The problem is that making a /shared makes it belong to the system partition. I don't want to wipe that out. | 06:23 |
| underdog5004 | it feels good when I do that...if I _really_ bork my system, I can reinstall, no hassle | 06:23 |
| Dr_willis | intelikey, you wantign to access this as a normal direcory from linux? or as a samba share? | 06:23 |

| intelikey | can a link or socket do that ? | 06:24 |

| Dr_willis | intelikey, soft /hard links dont think so.. not sure about sockets. | 06:25 |
| ceefour | underdog5004: that's what I thought. I should make a ~/shared/ folder then link that. I just never thought of that before. | 06:25 |

| underdog5004 | that's me...the smart one! (at least, that's what my mom says...) | 06:26 |

| === user___ [n=user@host-88-210-234-155.adsl.caucasus.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| tamacracker | ok | 07:31 |
| intelikey | add this line to the fstab file and save. "/dev/hdb1 /storage ext3 defaults 0 0 " | 07:32 |
| tamacracker | fstab is now open | 07:32 |
| tamacracker | cool | 07:32 |
| tamacracker | at the bottom? | 07:32 |
| tamacracker | or below my hda1? | 07:32 |
| intelikey | [aegis] the install should be the same. but more of the repo'd packages are on the dvd iirc plus alternate installation methoods are supported on the dvd | 07:33 |
| tamacracker | ok i added itall the way at the bottom, do i need to add this: udf,iso9660 user,noauto | 07:33 |
| tamacracker | or just leave it blank | 07:33 |
| ForgeAus | intelikey as for what I copied mostly just files out of /bin, /sbin and their /usr/ counterparts (ie /usr/bin and /usr/sbin/) that was not on my root filesystem... | 07:33 |
| === elyon225 [n=elyon@c-71-205-65-72.hsd1.mi.comcast.net] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| intelikey | why would you add "udf,iso9660 user,noauto" that ? | 07:34 |
| ForgeAus | It seems like my ubuntu-minimal was somehow messed with | 07:34 |
| ForgeAus | which makes sense because it did show up in the autoremove list | 07:34 |
| tamacracker | well not that specifically | 07:34 |
| tamacracker | but somethin that gives me 100% permission to the drive? | 07:34 |
| ForgeAus | iso9660 is for CD drives mostly | 07:34 |
| ForgeAus | "ro" vs "rw" is what gives you access or not | 07:35 |
| ForgeAus | rw for readwrite and ro for read only | 07:35 |
| intelikey | tamacracker it's ext3 permissions is not controled by mount. | 07:35 |
| tamacracker | yeah rw | 07:35 |
| ForgeAus | oh and theres also the -o user flag on the mount command | 07:35 |
| tamacracker | ok | 07:35 |
| tamacracker | i also remember typing 700 or something lik ethat | 07:35 |
| ForgeAus | but intelikey seems to know more about what he's talking about | 07:35 |
| intelikey | only on M$ file systems does mount set a pseudo permissions bit because M$ doesn't have permissions bits | 07:36 |
| ForgeAus | tama you might need sudo or kdesu to do anything toher than read from the drive | 07:36 |
| tamacracker | ack no no | 07:36 |
| tamacracker | i wanna write onto | 07:36 |
| tamacracker | without passwords | 07:36 |
| ForgeAus | also if its ntfs its best just to mount it as read-only anyway | 07:36 |
| tamacracker | read/write | 07:36 |
| tamacracker | naw it's ext3 | 07:36 |
| ForgeAus | unless you use fuse | 07:36 |
| ForgeAus | !fuse | 07:36 |
| ubotu | Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse | 07:36 |
| intelikey | ForgeAus no. | 07:37 |
| intelikey | tamacracker no. | 07:37 |
| tamacracker | ok | 07:37 |
| ForgeAus | ext3 you don't need fuse | 07:37 |
| tamacracker | sorry for being hard... | 07:37 |

| Jucato | huh? | 10:34 |
| tamacracker | i have a question for you | 10:34 |
| tamacracker | a little bit ago | 10:34 |
| tamacracker | i mounted my slave drive | 10:34 |
| tamacracker | ext3 | 10:34 |
| tamacracker | i have another ext3 hard drive on slave setting... can i shut off my pc swap the hard drives and still be recognized? | 10:35 |
| === emonkey [n=emonkey@adsl-84-227-136-66.adslplus.ch] has joined #kubuntu | ||
| tamacracker | or do i need to remount? | 10:35 |
| Jucato | unless you are using UUID's in your fstab for those drives, you'll hve to modify your mount, because the /dev/hd** will change | 10:36 |
| tamacracker | well wouldn't they both be hdba1? | 10:36 |
| tamacracker | since they're both gonna be primary slave? | 10:36 |
| Jucato | ah you're going to take out the other one? hdb would be correct | 10:37 |
| tamacracker | only difference between the two is the sizes | 10:37 |
| Jucato | and yes, you don't have to change I guess | 10:37 |
| tamacracker | so the size won't make a difference? | 10:37 |
| tamacracker | alright im doin the freezer trick | 10:37 |
| Jucato | nope. afaik it won't | 10:37 |

| dwidmann | Jucato, pop3 is your basic email with an email client, your client downloads the emails and stores them on your computer, and unless you specify otherwise also deletes them from the server. I believe IMAP keeps all on the server and you fetch from the server as neccessary, or something along those lines. Can't remember | 02:31 |

| LjL | michaelpo: terms are used a bit interchangeably... however, the "shell" is the program that gives you a prompt and lets you execute command -- a "terminal" is the stuff that the shell (and programs) rely on to input and output characters - a "Linux console" or "Linux virtual terminal" is that text-mode stuff in Alt+Fx | 04:57 |
| Dr_willis | chuen, ubuntu/kubuntu has the wacom tablets configured by default.. its not a critical message/warning | 04:57 |

| genii_ | DaSkreech Well for example some ppl are using the Kickstart method to do automated installs. Others are using ways like netboot or preseeded cdrom images.

| genii_ | DaSkreech Even between stock Debian and Ubuntu the preseed values are radically different for simple things like decaring what locale you have or what timezone and so on. Very frustrating | 08:12 |

| JmGV | manu_ ftp protocol doesnt allow you to download recursive folder | 11:01 |
| JmGV | you can do it using some application | 11:01 |

| Lil_Eagle | paste it, and pray that it works. If you get a blank screen then hit ctrl-alt-f1 and put the old one back. | 11:01 |

| fribuntu | Hi all | 11:02 |
| |Shadow| | "cp: cannot stat `~xorg.conf': No such file or directory" | 11:02 |

| manu_ | hi fribuntu | 11:02 |
| SSJ_GZ | webben:There's a guide for compiling KDE4 from svn, I'll try and find it. | 11:02 |
| JmGV | nc is a software | 11:02 |
| JmGV | if you want to upload/download folders using ftp, you must use a client that do it for you | 11:02 |
| manu_ | JmGV: yes the "true" ftp client for terminal | 11:02 |
| Lil_Eagle | your home folder is /home/shadows right? | 11:02 |

| JmGV | but in the same way that konqueror does | 11:03 |
