[12:16] <devilsadvocate> Gunrun, dvd hasa part of the repos as well
[12:16] <underdog5004> gunrun, the DVD is not crammed (compressed)
[12:16] <underdog5004> I think
[12:16] <Gunrun> could I have that again in none linux speak? no offence
[12:16] <Gunrun> ah ok
[12:16] <juano_> plugs: yes, if its from ubuntu to windows its a windows problem, check that the folder is properly shared
[12:17] <underdog5004> gunrun, I've got the isos for Mac...maybe you can direct d/l them from my server...
[12:18] <underdog5004> if you'd like
[12:18] <Gunrun> nah, I will grab them from the kent mirror
[12:18] <Gunrun> I get really fast downloads from there
[12:18] <jarn> Is it possible to increase the volume coming out of my computer when the main volume is at 100%? It's much too quiet but it's already at 100%.
[12:18] <underdog5004> Gunrun, alrighty
[12:18] <surgy> HI!
[12:18] <underdog5004> Gunrun, remember, before you burn the iso, do an md5 check
[12:18] <underdog5004> !md5
[12:18] <ubotu> To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[12:19] <setuid_w00t> jarn: You might have "master" and "PCM" sliders than you can change
[12:19] <surgy> ok i found my old age of empires gold cd just now :) and stuck it in my cd rom it doesnt auto mount properly and when it does it wont show anyfiles.
[12:19] <Gunrun> ubotu, the check on the disk, it passes that
[12:19] <juano_> jarn: right click icon tray, show mixer window
[12:19] <ubotu> the: Full-screen character mode text editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.1-4 (edgy), package size 277 kB, installed size 796 kB
[12:19] <underdog5004> jarn, check you headphone bar as well...that'll boost it...
[12:19] <juano_> jarn: try moving the levels there
[12:19] <jarn> juano_: Ah, thanks.
[12:20] <jarn> setuid_w00t: Thanks.
[12:20] <juano_> jarn: no prob :-)
[12:20] <underdog5004> jarn,  well, sometimes it works...
[12:20] <jarn> underdog5004: What headphone bar did you mean?
[12:21] <underdog5004> in Kmix
[12:21] <jarn> underdog5004: I don't see any headphone bar.
[12:21] <johann> PCM-bar?
[12:22] <jarn> johann: I have that and I turned it up. It's loud enough now, I was just curious what the headphone bar was.
[12:22] <juano_> plugs: did it work now ?
[12:22] <underdog5004> There is master, Master MONO and HEadphone, right next to each other
[12:22] <jarn> underdog5004: Not for me. O.o
[12:22] <underdog5004> weird...
[12:23] <johann> jarn:  bar to make your headphones louder ;)
[12:23] <slyfox> What do I use for FTP in Kubuntu ?
[12:23] <jarn> underdog5004: I have PCM, Front, FrontMic, etc.
[12:23] <slyfox> FileZilla or what ?
[12:23] <underdog5004> ftp or fish <== for a gui
[12:23] <underdog5004> I prefer fish from within Konq
[12:23] <juano_> slyfox: kftpgrabber
[12:23] <underdog5004> syntax: fish://ipaddress
[12:23] <juano_> slyfox: never tried it though
[12:24] <slyfox> underdog5004: is fish already preinstalled with konqueror ?
[12:24] <underdog5004> I believe so
[12:24] <stdin> slyfox: yes, it is
[12:24] <underdog5004> only one way to find out
[12:24] <jarn> What is the HDA Nvidia slider at the bottom of KMix?
[12:24] <underdog5004> no idea
[12:25] <alex_> High Definition Audio?
[12:25] <johann> jarn: balance
[12:25] <jarn> Oh, it adjusts between left and right speaker./
[12:28] <underdog5004> johann, so, any ideas in regards to Kaffeine?
[12:30] <johann> underdog: does kaffeiene word with local files?
[12:30] <underdog5004> johann, yessir
[12:30] <underdog5004> to get kaffeine to work with remote files again, I have to restart my computer.
[12:31] <underdog5004> which I don't really like doing
[12:31] <devilsadvocate> how do i add an application to the kde menu (*specifically scigraphica)
[12:31] <johann> stange!
[12:31] <underdog5004> devilsadvocate, do you have an icon on the desktop?
[12:32] <devilsadvocate> underdog5004, no, but i can make one
[12:32] <underdog5004> if so, just drag it in, if not, then you'll have to edit Kmenu, then make a new entry
[12:32] <underdog5004> pretty easy
[12:32] <underdog5004> johann, yeah, you're telling me!
[12:32] <devilsadvocate> isnt there some .desktop file somewhere, where the menu is generated from?
[12:32] <johann> ;-)
[12:32] <underdog5004> devilsadvocate, I have no idea...
[12:33] <devilsadvocate> hmmm. ok
[12:33] <devilsadvocate> i'll just edit kmenu
[12:33] <devilsadvocate> thanks
[12:33] <underdog5004> np
[12:36] <BluesKaj> devilsadvocate, kdesu kcontrol
[12:36] <devilsadvocate> BluesKaj, i found the kde menu editor
[12:38] <eman> from italy?
[12:38] <BluesKaj> devilsadvocate, where ?
[12:38] <devilsadvocate> BluesKaj, right click on the fde icon and then menu editor
[12:38] <devilsadvocate> kde*
[12:39] <BluesKaj> I thought you had lost the kmenu, so i was trying to locate it for you :)
[12:40] <devilsadvocate> :)

[01:29] <kirke> I can't compile an "Hello world".

[01:30] <vapashos> i know how to work with kdevelop
[01:30] <vapashos> i dont change it
[01:30] <soulrider> !adeptfix
[01:30] <ubotu> If Adept crashed on you and your database is locked, try this in konsole:  sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a 
[01:30] <ck42> Hi...fresh new user of kubuntu.  Question: Not seeing KDE-3.5.6 in Adept.  Not seeing Firefox nor Thunderbird either.  Are these NOT included in the default setup repositories???  6.10
[01:30] <sleepy745> What does this instruction mean? "Change in the sources dir and run"?
[01:31] <vapashos> someone who may help me with kdevelop may come to speak to me provate
[01:31] <vapashos> private
[01:34] <vapashos> anyone that uses kdevelop
[01:34] <vapashos> ?
[01:34] <soulrider> ck42: have you enabled the extra repos ?
[01:35] <ck42> soulrider:  Nope....just find it hard to believe that these aren't included in the default repos. that are included after a fresh install
[01:35] <soulrider> ck42: theres a few repos included but that are commented out
[01:35] <soulrider> dont worry, enabling them is easy!
[01:35] <soulrider> ck42: are you familiar with CLI editors or would you rather use Kate ?
[01:36] <ck42> either is fine....
[01:36] <soulrider> ok
[01:36] <soulrider> in a console type: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:36] <soulrider> youre gonna ahve to edit that file and enable the repos by deleting the # next to them
[01:37] <soulrider> i think you just have to delete the single # not the double ones
[01:37] <soulrider> i can send you my sources list file if you want, i ahve some extra repos
[01:37] <ck42> just want to make sure that I don't put any repos in there that end up causing issues
[01:38] <soulrider> well
[01:38] <soulrider> theya re not causing issues for me so i dont see why they should cause you trouble
[01:38] <ck42> needs to be a fairly stable box (wife's system - no patience when things break) LOL
[01:38] <soulrider> lol
[01:38] <sleepy745> what is svn? how do I install svn?
[01:39] <ck42> I'm looking at a couple of sites that list sources.list entries and what they recommend....wondering if it's anything similar to yours
[01:39] <ck42> also...seeing that synaptic appears to be a popular alternative.  thoughts?
[01:41] <soulrider> well
[01:41] <soulrider> i allways use aptitude, but yes, you can use synaptic
[01:41] <soulrider> let me upload my sources.list
[01:42] <ck42> k

[02:15] <coreire> hey, i havent used linux in about a year and have decided to get back into it. Gonna go with Kubuntu me thinks. Is it based on debian? And as far as i remember from debian there was a command you could type to install apps etc from an online server, is this the same with kubuntu?
[02:16] <Minataku> No, it's all thought-based now
[02:16] <Minataku> You think of a package and BAM
[02:16] <Minataku> Nothing happens
[02:16] <alex_> I come from SuSE
[02:16] <Minataku> Sorry, lame jokes aside, yes and yes
[02:16] <alex_> I can only warn you that I don't have any problems in Kubuntu
[02:16] <alex_> whereas I had problems in SuSE
[02:16] <intelikey> coreire yes based on debian.  http://ubuntu.com
[02:17] <alex_> although SuSE is wicked now
[02:17] <alex_> has the Kickoff meny and everything
[02:17] <m0nk3ym4n> I'm still getting the same error in gFTP
[02:17] <alex_> but slow as hell
[02:17] <m0nk3ym4n> How do I authenticate before identifying USER?
[02:17] <m0nk3ym4n> Error 530
[02:17] <dbglt> hi! Small problem! On my laptop the button to change brightness is FN+Up/Down ... when I press it, the brightness changes... then right after that the X server resets. Any ideas what's going on? :\
[02:18] <coreire> lol, ok thanks minataku
[02:18] <klees> is anyone having problems building ATI drivers with the new 2.6.20 kernel???
[02:18] <m0nk3ym4n> for ftp how do I authenticate before identifying user?
[02:19] <goodthing> hmm, kde needs a css editor like cssedit works, that would attract some people i think :)
[02:19] <Minataku> coreire: np ^^
[02:19] <coreire> alex_ suse isn't free is it?
[02:19] <alex_> anyone had any luck installing Apache2/PHP5/MySQL on Kubuntu Desktop?
[02:20] <Dr_willis> !lamp
[02:20] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[02:20] <alex_> coreire: openSuse is free
[02:20] <alex_> coreire: there is an enterprise version with support
[02:20] <alex_> Dr_willis: thank you kindly sir
[02:20] <intelikey> Jucato what's cssedit ?
[02:20] <Dr_willis> Darn no Hot Jenie Babe! :)
[02:21] <Jucato> intelikey: dunno: <goodthing> hmm, kde needs a css editor like cssedit works, that would attract some people i think :)
[02:21] <alex_> Dr_willis: there is always hope ;)
[02:21] <coreire> will check up on that, the wasnt an opensuse last time i was at it as far as i know. Is it stable? And i'm gonna start with Kubuntu anyway, just downloaded the 4 gig dvd image, cant let it go to waste :p
[02:21] <Dr_willis> i tried opensuse the other day... they really really screw up with the default kde/gnome layouts..
[02:22] <ssmasud__> which is the best MIXER(volume control) software for ubuntu
[02:22] <intelikey> Jucato no mention in packages... i'll go juggle for it i guess.
[02:23] <LjL> !best
[02:23] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[02:23] <LjL> but seriously... the best *mixer*? they all have the same controls...
[02:23] <alex_> SuSE isn't all that bad
[02:23] <ssmasud__> LjL..i mean with maximum options....
[02:23] <intelikey> LjL mmm aumix -vs- alsamixer ?
[02:23] <alex_> but Kubuntu is just by far more stable and smoother and faster and better and nicer and...
[02:24] <LjL> ssmasud__: what intelikey said then.
[02:24] <LjL> i'll add amixer
[02:24] <ssmasud__> LjL ok....
[02:24] <LjL> actually, i think i'd *start* with amixer, if you want options.
[02:24] <goodthing> Jucato: no the dialog of adding stuff and checking code smoothly is how such editor should work imo, it's just perfect. quanta does not do that i am afraid.
[02:24] <intelikey> ssmasud__ but kmix is the default    no?
[02:24] <m0nk3ym4n> 530 Must perform authentication before identifying USER. why do I get this error when trying to connecting via FTP?
[02:24] <coreire> also, i will be installing a 64-bit cpu within the next few weeks. Will kubuntu work on it? And are the apps compiled for 64 or will i have to compile all from source?
[02:25] <coreire> *most of the apps
[02:25] <ssmasud__> intelikey..yes kmix is default
[02:25] <LjL> coreire: they're compiled. however certain apps are simply not available
[02:25] <klees> is anyone familiar with this error Beryl:  Checking for non power of two texture support   : failed
[02:25] <klees> i have a Radeon 9800 Pro
[02:26] <klees> i was able to get Beryl+AIGLX working on the LiveCD
[02:26] <LjL> try #ubuntu-effects
[02:26] <klees> k thx
[02:26] <coreire> LjL: Is it possible to get the source of those apps and compile them myself or am i over-simplifying things?
[02:26] <ssmasud__> intelikey....but its a text based mixer
[02:27] <coreire> the ones that arent available i mean
[02:27] <LjL> coreire, the apps that are not available compiled are such because either 1) the source is not quite portable 2) they come in binary-only form
[02:27] <LjL> coreire: you can run [some]  32-bit apps on 64-bit, but i don't know exactly what's involved with that. it's certainly harder than just running 32-bit
[02:27] <LjL> examples that i know of are Flash and WINE
[02:28] <LjL> and proprietary applications in general - they often come in 32-bit only form
[02:28] <coreire> ok, but if i just do a 32-bit install and just use 32bit apps it'll all be fine and dandy?
[02:29] <LjL> coreire: yeah
[02:30] <LjL> 64-bit theoretically gives you a speed advantage, that's all. i don't know how perceptible that is
[02:31] <mena> Dr_Willis, So i dont need a firewall if i was using Xp and kubuntu
[02:31] <coreire> i'll just try a separate install and if i think its worth it i'll change. Thanks
[02:31] <Dr_willis> mena,  depends on your paranoia level and how you got the systems set up.
[02:32] <mena> Dr_Willis, i setup Xp first then kubuntu if that what you mean
[02:33] <jarn> When I run any games that are full screen, as soon as they run, X changes my resolution to whatever resolution the game runs at and scanlines appear. This persists even after I have closed the program.
[02:33] <m0nk3ym4n> 530 Must perform authentication before identifying USER. why do I get this error when trying to connecting via FTP?
[02:33] <Dr_willis> mena,  i mean how your network is setup.
[02:33] <mena> Dr_willis, okay
[02:33] <Dr_willis> mena,  you just decribed what you did.. but that really gave no real info. :)
[02:33] <dawn> anyone here play halflife via wine>?
[02:33] <mena> Dr_willis, okay
[02:33] <Dr_willis> Halflife - the game that made me give up on PC gaming.... :)
[02:34] <dawn> lol
[02:34] <Dr_willis> Oh wait that was Halflife2
[02:34] <Dr_willis> :)
[02:34] <dawn> lol
[02:34] <dawn> know a quick way to set the default vid. settings?
[02:34] <m0nk3ym4n> "give up"??
[02:34] <m0nk3ym4n> WHy?
[02:34] <Dr_willis> spend $50 for a game... enter 100 key serial #.. connect to server to actually UNENCRYPT the game... server is down.....
[02:34] <dawn> it was opengl and I changed it to d3d
[02:35] <m0nk3ym4n> Steam had a rough start, it's probably the best thing out there now
[02:35] <Dr_willis> so on the day of release.. ya couldent play the game..
[02:35] <dawn> Steam is nice
[02:35] <Dr_willis> Steam is anotyer reason i gave up on it...
[02:35] <dawn> I remote installed all my games
[02:35] <m0nk3ym4n> lol no one feels bad for you
[02:35] <dawn> I was playing h;1 and h;2 on kubuntu!
[02:35] <m0nk3ym4n> Steam is the best way to distribute games
[02:35] <dawn> *nod*
[02:35] <Dr_willis> theres better ways that are not as intrusive...
[02:36] <dawn> intrusive?
[02:36] <m0nk3ym4n> Ok ya Open Source and Free
[02:36] <dawn> how so
[02:36] <m0nk3ym4n> but
[02:36] <m0nk3ym4n> you don't get the quality of games via that mehtod
[02:36] <Dr_willis> of course ya would think they could cut the cost a little bit.... since they saved $$
[02:36] <Dr_willis> quality.. yea.. right...
[02:36] <Dr_willis> :)
[02:36] <m0nk3ym4n> lol alright man you keep playin Tuxracer, Frozen Bubble, and Nexuiz
[02:37] <dawn> lol
[02:37] <dawn> I love hl2
[02:37] <m0nk3ym4n> Let me know how fast you get bored
[02:37] <dawn> haha
[02:37] <Dr_willis> Right now - i dont even think i can legally GIVE my Hl2 game to my brother to play
[02:37] <Dr_willis> i made it to the dunebuggy part of HL2 and got bored...
[02:37] <Dr_willis> not even sure how far along that was.
[02:37] <dawn> 1/3
[02:37] <dawn> of the way
[02:38] <Dr_willis> at least it wasent as annoying as Painkiller was :)
[02:38] <m0nk3ym4n> HL2 was a great game
[02:38] <m0nk3ym4n> and Episode 1 was ever better
[02:38] <dawn> it still is
[02:38] <m0nk3ym4n> even
[02:38] <m0nk3ym4n> and I'm no dumbass fanboy
[02:38] <dawn> I love the graphic detail
[02:38] <Dr_willis> 'someone stole the soruce code... delay the game!'   :)
[02:38] <dawn> better then doom
[02:39] <dawn> better then quake
[02:39] <Dr_willis> gee.. lets compare games that are 10+ yrs old...
[02:39] <Dr_willis> :)
[02:39] <Dr_willis> M.U.L.E Rules!
[02:39] <dawn> classic games!
[02:39] <m0nk3ym4n> lol
[02:39] <dawn> I miss playing quake
[02:39] <Dr_willis> I couldent even get quake working the other day...
[02:39] <m0nk3ym4n> Anyone remember Lode Runner?
[02:39] <dawn> OMG
[02:39] <m0nk3ym4n> Sierra games?
[02:39] <Dr_willis> C64 emulation rules.
[02:40] <Dr_willis> "Dungeon Master" on the Amiga - that rocked.
[02:40] <Dr_willis> Worms! :) not that lame new 3d stuff/versions  either...
[02:41] <LjL> which reminds me i still haven't played superfrog since christmas
[02:41] <LjL> (wow, the ubuntu spellcheck wordlist has "superfrog"?!)
[02:41] <Dr_willis> The only game i can actually REmber playing through to the end... was "Startopia" worth grabbing if you like Sim-Spation type games. :)
[02:41] <Dr_willis> oh wait - i did play Darwinia through to the end.. another grab if ya find it game.. also has a Linux Port. ;)
[02:42] <m0nk3ym4n> Darwinia is good
[02:42] <Dr_willis> Saw Darwinia for $10 the other day
[02:42] <m0nk3ym4n> I played that till the end
[02:42] <devilsadvocate> !offtopic :D
[02:42] <dawn> I enjoyed playing quake with zeus bots installed
[02:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about offtopic :d - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:42] <devilsadvocate> !offtopic
[02:42] <Dr_willis> i can honestly say at that $$ its a MUST get game.
[02:42] <ubotu> #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[02:42] <devilsadvocate> :D
[02:42] <dawn> well blame me
[02:42] <Dr_willis> kuake!
[02:42] <Dr_willis> :)
[02:42] <dawn> I asked a question about resetting some vid settings
[02:43] <Dr_willis> I think we need to take the "SecondLife" code and make a MMORPG WindowManger
[02:43] <Jucato> lol
[02:43] <Dr_willis> KecondKlife
[02:43] <Jucato> seKondlife
[02:43] <dawn> KgetaLife
[02:43] <Dr_willis> SecondWife = MMORPG about Bigomy.
[02:43] <Dr_willis> :)
[02:44] <jarn> When I run any games that are full screen, as soon as they run, X changes my resolution to whatever resolution the game runs at and scanlines appear. This persists even after I have closed the program.
[02:45] <dawn> hmmm I was running at 1024x768 fine
[02:45] <dawn> then made stupid change from gl(whatever) to d3d
[02:45] <dawn> I broked it
[02:45] <dawn> :(
[02:49] <Dr_willis> speaking of games.. i may go try to play Oblovian some more... i WANT to like the game.. but it just... looks great.. but dosent seem to be that much fun... :)
[02:54] <alex_> anyone knows how to add a shutdown button to the panel?
[02:54] <alex_> there is logout/lock buttons, but not shutdown
[02:54] <Jucato> alex_: the logout functions as the shutdown too
[02:55] <osiris> alex_: make a icon with kdesu poweroff as the command
[02:55] <alex_> thanks
[02:55] <alex_> I'll try that
[02:55] <osiris> it will ask for the password that way
[02:55] <alex_> password?
[02:56] <osiris> only root users should be able to shutdown the system
[02:56] <osiris> just like doing sudo poweroff, but this will give you a dialog box that asks for the password
[02:56] <alex_> -.-
[02:57] <alex_> isn't there an easier way
[02:57] <dawn> ctril-alt-del
[02:57] <alex_> one button
[02:57] <dawn> hold down power button
[02:57] <alex_> just like the logout button logs off without any dialogs I want to be able to shutdown the system the same way
[02:57] <alex_> lo
[02:57] <alex_> lol
[02:57] <alex_> oh com'n
[02:57] <alex_> anyone?
[02:57] <dawn> heh
[02:57] <dawn> power switch?
[02:58] <dawn> instantaneous shutdown
[02:58] <dawn> :)
[02:58] <alex_> no
[02:58] <dawn> 'puter won;t like you later
[02:58] <dawn> im surprised that the developers did not place that in
[02:59] <dawn> but hey, its not windows, so like why do you need to ever shutdown
[02:59] <alex_> cause it's a laptop...
[02:59] <alex_> ...
[02:59] <alex_> ...
[02:59] <alex_> ?
[02:59] <alex_> makes sense?
[02:59] <dawn> oh well in that case
[02:59] <dawn> use the power button
[02:59] <alex_> nope
[02:59] <alex_> doesn't work
[02:59] <alex_> not on this model
[02:59] <dawn> in my zd7000 it does
[03:00] <alex_> anyway isn't there anyway to include a one button shutdown?
[03:00] <dawn> well when you click log off it goes to the other screena dn you can shutdown from there
[03:00] <alex_> lol, I want to be able to do it in one click
[03:00] <dawn> pikcy pikcy
[03:00] <dawn> Picky*
[03:00] <alex_> aren't we all?
[03:01] <dawn> aye..
[03:01] <alex_> isn't it why we use linux?
[03:01] <alex_> to have more freedom and to be able to do more things than we can in windows/
[03:01] <osiris> i use it cause of the chicks
[03:01] <alex_> ?
[03:01] <dawn> ...and not billy warez... yes
[03:01] <dawn> I use it for the chicks as well
[03:01] <dawn> <---elite geek
[03:01] <dawn> :P
[03:01] <alex_> lol
[03:01] <alex_> ok
[03:01] <alex_> back to the discussion of putting a one button shutdown option
[03:01] <alex_> so
[03:01] <alex_> ...
[03:02] <alex_> anyone?
[03:02] <alex_> any suggestions?
[03:02] <dawn> I dont know..
[03:02] <alex_> You're Fired!
[03:02] <alex_> :D
[03:02] <osiris> nor do i. i want a password protected power off
[03:02] <alex_> You're fired as well!
[03:02] <Minataku> I'd rather someone be free to shut my computer down instead of just unplug it
[03:03] <alex_> both of you... pack your files
[03:03] <alex_> and had back to windows
[03:03] <word> the log out button leads you to a shutdown option -use it-
[03:03] <dawn> thats what I told him
[03:03] <alex_> * speaks loudly into the phone - SECURITY *
[03:03] <osiris> for the record, i am in windows right now, so eh.
[03:04] <word> hiss!
[03:04] <dawn> so eh...
[03:04] <alex_> I am in Vista and Kubuntu at the same time :$
[03:04] <dawn> more like doh!
[03:04] <osiris> some of us have to work for a living
[03:04] <alex_> I have to study for a living too :|
[03:04] <dawn> and some of us have to play for a living
[03:05] <larson9999> in light of the school sub getting 40 years for pr0n, maybe a one button shutoff isn't such a bad idea :)
[03:05] <dawn> hah
[03:05] <alex_> lol
[03:05] <dawn> thats just lame
[03:05] <larson9999> god i hope some sanity gets into the picture and she gets off and compensated justly.
[03:05] <osiris> we should all pack our drives in thermite, and wire up the "hot-switch"
[03:05] <dawn> what wrong with northeastern ppl these days
[03:06] <osiris> dawn: they're cold, and covered in snow. thats what
[03:06] <dawn> lightbright terrorists
[03:06] <dawn> gimmie a break
[03:06] <Minataku> Indeed
[03:06] <larson9999> lol
[03:06] <osiris> no one escapes the quad laser
[03:06] <will> does anyone know how to search for filess/folders from the command prompt (please be specific, I'm new to linux)
[03:06] <yuriy> i wish we were covered in snow!
[03:06] <Minataku> If anyone should be blamed and sued it's the dumbass who thought it was a damn bomb
[03:07] <yuriy> will: locate
[03:07] <yuriy> !locate
[03:07] <ubotu> locate is a command-line utility, but to keep the cache up-to-date you will have to run: sudo updatedb
[03:07] <alex_> !TakeOverTheWorld
[03:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about takeovertheworld - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:07] <alex_> awwwww
[03:07] <osiris> will: cat and grep can be effective too
[03:07] <Hektik_Ninja> hey can you guys help me with splashscreens??
[03:07] <will> thanks guys.
[03:07] <Jucato> Hektik_Ninja: which splash screen?
[03:07] <will> yuriy: will that search all partitions?
[03:07] <alex_> Jucato: the pr0n one
[03:08] <Hektik_Ninja> umm the one that boots
[03:08] <alex_> Jucato: :D
[03:08] <Hektik_Ninja> soemthing to do with grub
[03:08] <dawn> mmm grub
[03:08] <Minataku> Watch out with GRUB splash screens, if it messes up GRUB will turn invisible
[03:08] <alex_> install kubuntu-grub-splashimages
[03:08] <Jucato> Hektik_Ninja: hm. ok.. it's called a bootsplash, and the one Kubuntu uses is USplash
[03:08] <Minataku> It'll still work properly
[03:08] <alex_> I installed it
[03:08] <Jucato> no
[03:08] <alex_> works nicely
[03:08] <Minataku> You just won't be able to see it
[03:08] <Jucato> he's talking about the bootsplash
[03:08] <Jucato> (I think)
[03:08] <Jucato> lol
[03:08] <Hektik_Ninja> I'm ubuntu right now, switching to kubuntu
[03:08] <Minataku> So am I
[03:09] <yuriy> will: everything that's mounted
[03:09] <yuriy> will: partitions are a little different in linux ;)
[03:09] <Hektik_Ninja> yes bootsplash is right
[03:09] <Jucato> Hektik_Ninja: you're talking about the animated splash screen with the logo and progress bar right?
[03:09] <Hektik_Ninja> Yes I am
[03:09] <Jucato> yep that's the bootsplash (grub splash is the screen you see on the menu)
[03:09] <will> yuriy: neither updatedb nor locate (filename) seems to be working.  command not found.
[03:10] <Minataku> !slocate
[03:10] <Hektik_Ninja> how to get bootsplash up and running, I have it dld
[03:10] <ubotu> slocate: Secure replacement of findutil's locate. In component main, is extra. Version 3.1-1 (edgy), package size 29 kB, installed size 152 kB
[03:10] <Minataku> Use that instead
[03:10] <Minataku> slocate > locate
[03:10] <Jucato> Hektik_Ninja: what do you mean?
[03:10] <shinigami> hi .. i'm trying to put this line "xhost +" in my rc.local .. in edgy when it boot up, it always say, "load video failed".. but after i enter the kde, and type xhost +, its ok..how come?
[03:10] <yuriy> but why would it say command not found?
[03:10] <Hektik_Ninja> don't I have to put it in a certain folder or something?
[03:10] <Minataku> shinigami: X has to be running first
[03:11] <Hektik_Ninja> X?
[03:11] <Minataku> X, short for X11R7
[03:11] <Jucato> Hektik_Ninja: huh? no
[03:11] <Minataku> X11R7 short for X Window System Version 11 Release 7
[03:11] <shinigami> Minataku: how do i make "xhost +" load up automatically then?
[03:11] <Hektik_Ninja> I have to have that??
[03:11] <shinigami> after X running
[03:12] <Jucato> Hektik_Ninja: what are you trying to do in the first place
[03:12] <Minataku> shinigami: TBH I don't know
[03:12] <shinigami> because in dapper, i used to do the same but no error..only edgy would
[03:12] <Minataku> I might be wrong about X needing to be running
[03:12] <shinigami> what's tbh?
[03:12] <shinigami> !tbh
[03:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tbh - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:12] <Hektik_Ninja> Jucato: I'm trying to get this bootsplash thing to work :/
[03:12] <Minataku> The big game has fried my brain and I'm not even watching it
[03:12] <Jucato> shinigami: to be honest
[03:12] <goodthing> will: alternatively you can do 'find / -name phrase*'
[03:12] <Minataku> TBH: To Be Honest
[03:12] <shinigami> oh
[03:13] <will> bash: slocate: command not found
[03:13] <Jucato> Hektik_Ninja: if you installed Ubuntu it should be using the Ubuntu usplash already
[03:13] <Minataku> will: You have to install it
[03:13] <yuriy> Hektik_Ninja: you want to install a new theme? where are you getting it?
[03:13] <gala> /join
[03:13] <Minataku> It isn't provided stock for some stupid reason
[03:13] <will> ok

[03:14] <Hektik_Ninja> Just a new bootsplash thing!!
[03:14] <Jucato> Hektik_Ninja: oh no.... unfortunately, you can't use the bootsplash themes from kde-look
[03:14] <Hektik_Ninja> orly?
[03:14] <gala> guys
[03:14] <gala> i've been installed kubuntu
[03:14] <Jucato> yes rly, because the themes in kde-look use either fbsplash or spashy engines, Kubuntu uses USplash
[03:14] <gala> now is my first time... and now for chatting I using Konversation IRC
[03:15] <Jucato> !usplash | Hektik_Ninja
[03:15] <ubotu> Hektik_Ninja: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[03:15] <Jucato> Hektik_Ninja: unless you see a bootsplash that's specifically for usplash
[03:16] <Hektik_Ninja> I have to have usplash boot things then.  Got it
[03:16] <will> Minataku: my computer is really messed up.  I'm trying to discover if some of the files that I backed up are hidden somewhere on my computer.  In the backup process I somehow managed to move my entire home folder to media/sda5/will.  HOWEVER, all (and only) the text docs (.doc, .sxw, etc) copied the names without any substance (size = 0 bytes).  I was going to search for one of the files to see if an intact version of the file exists somewhere on the comp
[03:16] <Hektik_Ninja> but then what do I do when I dl it?
[03:16] <yuriy> gala: welcome :)
[03:17] <will> Minataku: if I can avoid installing anything, I'd prefer to.  Doesn't linux have a search function built in?
[03:17] <Jucato> Hektik_Ninja: see that wiki page to see how to install new usplash themes. but I repeat, you can't use the ones on kde-look unless they specifically mention that they're for usplash
[03:17] <Minataku> will: You copied them and didn't check?
[03:17] <Hektik_Ninja> Okay I got that
[03:17] <osiris> sounds like symbolic links maybee
[03:18] <DaSkreech> Yo yo yo
[03:19] <Hektik_Ninja> Thanx
[03:19] <DaSkreech> ssmasud_: Hey how goes it?
[03:20] <will> Minataku: it's a long story (much of which I don't understand) but I was upgrading to Edgy.  As it was downloading I decided I should backup my recent files.  I went to stop the dl, but it had quit on its own.  As far as I can tell nothing was installed.  However, after that I discovered that suddenly didn't have adminstrative access in the GUI. I restarted and found that I couldn't log into the gui at all.  I've been trying to back up from the command prompt
[03:20] <DaSkreech> will: That kinda sucks
[03:20] <will> DaSkreech: word.
[03:21] <will> any body know why a file name would copy to another location without copying the rest of the info in the file?
[03:21] <Minataku> will: Ouch
[03:22] <DaSkreech> will: http://img98.imageshack.us/my.php?image=microsoftword9su.png
[03:22] <will> darthdual: nice. ha
[03:23] <DaSkreech> will: I'll assume that' the wrong auto-complete :)
[03:24] <Minataku> lol
[03:25] <Minataku> I miss phones that just made phone calls
[03:25] <will> so, anyone know why file names would copy without the substance behind them?  or more importantly, how I might find the substance hidden in some dark corner of my hard drive (which I think is corrupted and in serious need or a repartioning)
[03:26] <Minataku> That's why I love the ITT Rotary Desk Phone I have
[03:26] <Minataku> Got it at a local consignment shop for a mint
[03:26] <Minataku> Pre-modified to have an RJ-11 cord, too :D
[03:27] <muylaert> galera alguem pode me ajudar a instalar o flash no firefox? ele nao funfa sozinho de jeito nenhum
[03:27] <DaSkreech> !br
[03:27] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[03:28] <DaSkreech> will: Will other than accidental making a symlink I'd say your file system is messed up?
[03:29] <gaytan> hola
[03:31] <will> DaSkreech:  yeah, I agree.  do you have any other suggestions on how to search the disk for the file name to make sure real quick that there's not another copy of it somewhere
[03:31] <DaSkreech> locate ?
[03:32] <will> DaSkreech: yeah, that function has apparently been lost.  is that the only one you know?
[03:32] <DaSkreech> Thats the easy one
[03:32] <DaSkreech> can you do a find?
[03:32] <DaSkreech> or a grep?
[03:32] <will> greap filename?
[03:33] <will> grep
[03:39] <DaSkreech> will: ls -R / | grep filename
[03:40] <DaSkreech> assuming it's not some insanely common string like log
[03:40] <Jucato> find / -name 'filename' ?
[03:40] <DaSkreech> Jucato: Yeah I asked if he could do find
[03:40] <DaSkreech> assuming that will is a he :)
[03:41] <devilsadvocate> will, try locate <filename>
[03:42] <DaSkreech> devilsadvocate: he doesn't have locate
[03:42] <devilsadvocate> ah
[03:42] <devilsadvocate> interesting
[03:42] <DaSkreech> :-)
[03:44] <Minataku> !findutil
[03:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about findutil - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:44] <Minataku> !findutils
[03:44] <ubotu> findutils: utilities for finding files--find, xargs, and locate. In component main, is required. Version 4.2.27-3 (edgy), package size 290 kB, installed size 1316 kB
[03:45] <Minataku> Okay, that is screwed up
[03:45] <Minataku> lol
[03:45] <Minataku> I tried installing Linux on my little brother's computer and files mysteriously vanished there too
[03:45] <Minataku> Eventually the computer failed entirely
[03:45] <Minataku> Not that it was 100% in the first place
[03:46] <goodthing> in would take a live-cd for this one
[03:46] <DaSkreech> well that might explain a lot :)
[03:46] <goodthing> *i
[03:46] <DaSkreech> goodthing: Unless it was teh power or CPU that went
[03:46] <DaSkreech>  then it really doesn't matter
[03:46] <Minataku> Suffice it to say GCC vanished without a trace
[03:49] <will>  hey guys.  sorry got caught up on something else.  I'll try all of your suggestions and get back to you in a sec
[03:50] <goodthing> o boy, better run from live-cd to backup and never go back
[03:55] <will> ok.  I think the reason I didn't have locate is I'm booting in the maintenance shell because my file system is f'd.  I got ls -R / ... to work though and it only showed one listing of my file.  it didn't give details like location or size though, but I can probably assume that it only found one copy (the corrupted copy) right?
[03:56] <DaSkreech> will: ls -lR if you like
[03:58] <will> DaSkreech: I tried that and got a large output.  what am I supposed to be looking for in that?
[04:00] <gabriel> Could someone please help me with my aforementioned Sound Card problem?
[04:00] <DaSkreech> will: you should pipe it through grep for the file yo uare looking for
[04:00] <DaSkreech> gabriel try /nick Munchkingguy if you want the name back
[04:02] <will> will that only search my root folder (which is on a different partition from my home folder, where the file was originally but no longer appears to be)?
[04:03] <dbglt> my X server crashes whenever I adjust my laptop screen's brightness up or down. Any ideas what could be causing this?
[04:03] <Munchkinguy> I ran alsaconf, but after it was finished and I pressed OK, there was no change.
[04:05] <DaSkreech> will: It will saerch whatever path you give it
[04:05] <will> thnks.
[04:05] <DaSkreech> If you only want to search your home folder then try ls -lR ~ | grep <filename>
[04:05] <K`zan> or try "locate <filename>
[04:05] <K`zan> "
[04:06] <K`zan> :-)
[04:06] <DaSkreech> :)
[04:07] <will> DaSkreech: ok.  it keeps finding one file. is there a way to get it to give me some details about that file (location, size)
[04:08] <DaSkreech> ls -l <path/to/file>
[04:10] <will__> hi all, I had to recompile amarok to support my zen creative player, but now I need to redo mp3 support, how do I rerun that script that enables mp3 for amarok?
[04:10] <will> ok one last question, I promise.  If I boot to a live cd is there any reason that I would be able to find these files with some substance when I can't do so now from the maintenance command prompt?
[04:11] <eddie> hi
[04:11] <DaSkreech> !mp3 | will__
[04:11] <ubotu> will__: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[04:11] <DaSkreech> will: Ded HDD?
[04:12] <will__> ive been there, but they dont give you the name of the script to run, and im caught between two installs, I can still play mp3s on my harddrive, but not on my player
[04:12] <devilsadvocate> is there any really good djvu reader on linux/kde ?
[04:12] <devilsadvocate> possibly with the capability of taking notes and such
[04:13] <eddie> I'm having problems with my broadcom 4309 wireless card, new to linux and to IRC. can ayone help?
[04:13] <will> DaSkreech: what do you mean?
[04:13] <DaSkreech> will: A dead hard drive would stop you from seeing that file
[04:14] <DaSkreech> Other than that you should be good
[04:14] <DaSkreech> will__: Wait you need mp3 support on the Zen?
[04:14] <DaSkreech> devilsadvocate: What's a djvu?
[04:15] <will__> yea, its totally wierd, if I copy the mp3 of zen onto harddrive, i can play it, but playing it from the zen it gives "no input plugin"
[04:15] <devilsadvocate> djvu is this newish format e-books are coming in nowadays
[04:15] <devilsadvocate> last few years i guess
[04:15] <devilsadvocate> some kind of image compression technology
[04:15] <DaSkreech> Ah
[04:15] <DaSkreech> I think okular supports them
[04:16] <will> DaSkreech: I can see the file.  and I can copy  the file.  but the file is empty (there's a name and extension, but it's 0 bytes in size)  it only did this to document files.  all of my pdf and picture/video/music files copied over fine
[04:16] <heretic_> hi all
[04:16] <DaSkreech> will: do you still have the originals?
[04:16] <devilsadvocate> found it DaSkreech  - djvulibre-plugin . its int the repos
[04:16] <eddie> hi
[04:16] <will> no
[04:17] <heretic_> in my kdm login and in ati control panel fonts are unreadeble
[04:17] <heretic_> what can i do please
[04:17] <glimmung> DaSkreech: i changed my nick to avoid confusion, im will___, im the one with zen problems
[04:17] <DaSkreech> glimmung: I saw Thanks for notifiying me though
[04:18] <will> the originals were in my home folder.  trying to learn how to copy them to an external fat32 drive, I somehow moved (not copied) the files to /media/sda5/ (which I thought was the external, but turns out its on my internal disk somewhere)  the files are still at /media/sda5/will but there is no content behind the names
[04:18] <glimmung> yeah so amarok now sees, and reads from zen, but wont play
[04:18] <DaSkreech> glimmung: so you can't play through amarok directly from the Zen?
[04:18] <glimmung> correct
[04:18] <glimmung> but if i copy from zen onto local, then play it works fine
[04:18] <DaSkreech> glimmung: Not sure that's pretty much out of my expertise.try in #amarok
[04:18] <glimmung> so I think its because i recompiled amarok with mtp support, I broke the mp3 support
[04:19] <DaSkreech> will: SOrry man
[04:19] <jarn> When I run any games that are full screen, as soon as they run, X changes my resolution to whatever resolution the game runs at and scanlines appear. This persists even after I have closed the program.
[04:19] <glimmung> so you dont by any chance know the name of the script at firstrun of amarok that enables mp3 support?
[04:19] <will> DaSkreech:  thanks for your help. no worries.  I hate to lose the files, but they are not critical
[04:20] <DaSkreech> glimmung: libxine--extracodecs?
[04:20] <devilsadvocate> glimmung, i doubt there is a script - to get  mp3 support you need to install gstreamer-plugins
[04:20] <DaSkreech> will: Yeah I know what you mean
[04:20] <glimmung> usually holding down ctrl+alt+ +/- will change your screen res
[04:20] <DaSkreech> will: how much stuff were you backing up?
[04:20] <glimmung> but the irony is i already have them
[04:20] <eddie> does anyone have experience with broadcom wireless nic's?
[04:20] <devilsadvocate> glimmung, i thing you have some other problem
[04:20] <devilsadvocate> similar to something i have
[04:21] <devilsadvocate> i cant stream from a network
[04:21] <devilsadvocate> stream mp3 eve
[04:21] <devilsadvocate> while locally i can play anything
[04:21] <devilsadvocate> stream mp3, ogg, nothing works
[04:21] <devilsadvocate> same error

[04:29] <Jucato> no problem
[04:30] <cj_> do you remmember me
[04:30] <lorderunion> hi. i just upgraded my computers motherboard, processor and ram, and now kubuntu won't boot. it gets to the loading progress bar, but just hangs.
[04:30] <Jucato> yep yep
[04:30] <lorderunion> 10 minutes ago, it finished loading the bar, hit the nvidia splash, and then no video, which put my monitor to sleep
[04:30] <DaSkreech> lorderunion: drop to the grub prompt and remove quiet
[04:30] <lorderunion> ok
[04:30] <DaSkreech>  it's the worse option every put into a distro :(
[04:31] <lorderunion> going to do that now. im on my girlfriends laptop heh
[04:31] <DaSkreech> Might give you an idea where it broke
[04:31] <DaSkreech> lorderunion: also hope you have a live Cd :0
[04:31] <DaSkreech> :-)
[04:31] <lorderunion> yeah i have a live cd around here somewhere.
[04:31] <lorderunion> i dont see a quer mode in grub. (v0.97)
[04:32] <lorderunion> quiet*
[04:32] <Jucato> lorderunion: in the menu.lst entry for the kernel you are booting into
[04:32] <DaSkreech> Jucato: he'd have to do it live
[04:32] <DaSkreech> he can't boot :)
[04:32] <Jucato> DaSkreech: I know...
[04:32] <lorderunion> boot into the live cd?
[04:32] <Jucato> but actually, he can do it in the GRUB menu
[04:33] <Jucato> lorderunion: you can see your GRUB menu, right?
[04:33] <lorderunion> i see a list of kernel versions, with each having a (recovery mode),. and then memttest86+
[04:33] <lorderunion> yeah im in that now
[04:33] <Jucato> lorderunion: ok, now, go to the kernel version you want to boot into and hit 'e'
[04:33] <Jucato> e = edit
[04:33] <lorderunion> ok done
[04:34] <lorderunion> root, kerenel, initrd, savedefault, boot
[04:34] <Jucato> then go the line where you see the kernel options with "ro quiet splash"
[04:34] <lorderunion> i dont see that
[04:34] <Jucato> DaSkreech: actually he might have to remove "splash"
[04:34] <Jucato> lorderunion:  the kernel line
[04:34] <lorderunion> (and thanks for the help btw)
[04:34] <lorderunion> oh i see it now.
[04:34] <Jucato> lorderunion: hit 'e' again to edit
[04:34] <lorderunion> remove "ro quiet splash" ?
[04:34] <DaSkreech> Jucato: I didn't have to. It just came up in teh hard to rad blue writing but ti's there
[04:35] <Jucato> no, remove "splash" only
[04:35] <lorderunion> ok
[04:35] <Jucato> DaSkreech: but he's having video problems right?
[04:35] <lorderunion> then enter?
[04:35] <Jucato> lorderunion: yep, then press 'b' to boot
[04:35] <DaSkreech> Jucato: *shrugs* He said it's not booting
[04:35] <lorderunion> ok its going
[04:35] <DaSkreech> I don't know where it stops
[04:35] <lorderunion> hda: drive not ready for command
[04:36] <Jucato> DaSkreech: <lorderunion> 10 minutes ago, it finished loading the bar, hit the nvidia splash, and then no video, which put my monitor to sleep
[04:36] <lorderunion> yeah its there right now
[04:36] <lorderunion> says "hda: drive not ready for command", and a few numbers before that string, btw
[04:36] <DaSkreech> Is your / on hda ?
[04:37] <lorderunion> i believe hda is one of my cdrom drives
[04:37] <Jucato> lorderunion: but it still continues booting?
[04:37] <lorderunion> not sure why its a cdrom, but thats what it is
[04:37] <lorderunion> jucato: no
[04:37] <lorderunion> its hanging there right now, flashing cursor
[04:38] <lorderunion> i _really_ dont want to have to reinstall kubuntu, heh. ive got a ton of data that i'd like to not lose
[04:38] <devilsadvocate> djview crashed ny X  :|
[04:40] <devilsadvocate> lorderunion, what seems to be the problm?
[04:40] <jacksprat> hi, i was trying to get samba to work with cups and when i print, using smbspool smb://username:password@SERVER/PRINTER 1 username Test 1 test.txt, the domain controller complains that i'm logging in as cupsys, what could be the problem? i'm using kubuntu 3.5
[04:40] <shinigami> how to check version of kubuntu i'm using from console?
[04:40] <Jucato> !version | shinigami
[04:40] <ubotu> shinigami: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[04:41] <lorderunion> devilsadvocate: my installation of kubuntu hangs at the loading screen. we removed the splash and it says "hda drive not ready for command". hda is one of my cd rom drives i belive
[04:41] <devilsadvocate> lorderunion, your harddrive is sda?
[04:42] <Jucato> lorderunion: where did you install Kubuntu? did you recently switch hard drive positions in the bcable?
[04:42] <Jucato> cable*
[04:42] <crazy_bus> I need to get a new harddrive and I was wondering if all types worked with kubuntu.  Is it a better idea to get a SATA one or the other types or does it not matter?
[04:42] <shinigami> No LSB modules are available.?
[04:42] <Jucato> shinigami: but does it still output the version?
[04:42] <DaSkreech> !print
[04:42] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[04:42] <shinigami> Jucato: no..
[04:42] <lorderunion> i might have switched the position of them in the ide cable. i just rebooted the computer and i just noticed an ide chanel 2 master is coming up as empty
[04:43] <underdog5004> man, viewing remote files w/ kaffeine is a pain in the tush
[04:43] <lorderunion> but ive got 1 dvd drive, 1 cdrom and 2 hard drives. both cds are on the same cable, and the hds are on another
[04:43] <madar> hello, looking for a little help with a software raid device
[04:43] <Jucato> lorderunion: then you need to adjust that in GRUB too
[04:43] <lorderunion> ok going to grub
[04:43] <DaSkreech> crazy_bus: I've never seen a problem with different kinds
[04:43] <DaSkreech> !raid
[04:43] <ubotu> Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[04:43] <lorderunion> jucato: ok im in grub now
[04:44] <Jucato> lorderunion: where is your linux partition located now?
[04:44] <lorderunion> random question, would "recovery mode" help me out at all?
[04:45] <underdog5004> lorderunion, if you're handy with the CLI
[04:45] <Jucato> lorderunion: not if you switched hard drive positions
[04:45] <lorderunion> im pretty handy with cli i suppose.
[04:45] <Jucato> primary master = hda; primary slave = hdb; secondary master = hdc; secondary slave = hdd
[04:45] <lorderunion> im not a complete ingrate with it at least
[04:45] <Jucato> ingrate = someone who's not grateful :)
[04:45] <lorderunion> linux is on hdc
[04:45] <lorderunion> and lol
[04:46] <DaSkreech> lol @ and lol
[04:46] <lorderunion> and thinking about it again, i did not change the position of the drives on the ide cable
[04:47] <Jucato> ...
[04:47] <lorderunion> (sorry)
[04:47] <Jucato> but if Linux is in hdc, why is it looking at hda?
[04:47] <lorderunion> (its been a long weekend. took me two days to get here)
[04:47] <lorderunion> i really have no idea
[04:47] <lorderunion> i should probably just reinstall linux
[04:47] <madar> not seeing much on device nodes there, my question is that I ran ./MAKEDEV md in /dev and it created md nodes (or maybe they were already there) in .static/dev my question is can I simply point to these nodes in my raidtab and go or do I need to do something more?
[04:47] <Jucato> hm... not really
[04:47] <DaSkreech> lorderunion: Or you could fix this
[04:47] <DaSkreech>  :)
[04:47] <Jucato> reinstall not always the solution
[04:47] <lorderunion> that way all of my progs are tuned up to my new arch
[04:48] <Jucato> new arch?
[04:48] <lorderunion> yeah. went from a duron to sempron
[04:48] <Jucato> lorderunion: well, first you have to first make sure where Linux is installed, drive and partition
[04:49] <lorderunion> do i have access to a command line within grub?
[04:49] <Jucato> only a grub command prompt
[04:49] <lorderunion> lame
[04:49] <lorderunion> oh hold up. cripes
[04:49] <lorderunion> i just noticed i removed the splash on an older kernel version
[04:49] <lorderunion> let me try that on the newest. im sorry again
[04:50] <Jucato> lorderunion: hm... ok...
[04:50] <lorderunion> heh yeah nevermind. same problem
[04:50] <Jucato> still looking for hda?
[04:50] <lorderunion> yeah, drive not ready for command
[04:51] <Jucato> is something inside your CD Rom?
[04:51] <Jucato> cd drive*
[04:51] <lorderunion> nope
[04:51] <Jucato> hm...
[04:51] <lorderunion> startup screen for bios again and i also just noticed that my other cd drive isnt showing up in the list.
[04:51] <Jucato> do you know exactly which drive & partition linux is in?
[04:52] <lorderunion> maybe its a bad ide cable, or a bad ide connection? could that be causing this problem with booting into linux?
[04:52] <Jucato> hdc_?
[04:52] <lorderunion> and no i do not.
[04:52] <lorderunion> im pretty sure its in hdc,but i dont know exactly
[04:54] <DaSkreech> What does the grub prompt say?
[04:54] <lorderunion> when you type help?
[04:54] <DaSkreech> the line that you deleted ro splash quiet from
[04:55] <iiwdpn> i`ve had problems w/ lose power connectors
[04:56] <lorderunion> ./boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-10-386 root=UUID=25a26989-094e-483b-bb29-ceecf8225e3e ro quiet splash
[04:57] <DaSkreech> Blast I hate UUIDs for troubleshooting
[04:57] <DaSkreech> On the upside we know that it's finding the right partition :0
[04:57] <DaSkreech> There is no way it can hide
[04:57] <lorderunion> weird...i removed splash again and im not geting the hda error anymore
[04:58] <lorderunion> but still not loading. its hanging at "boot" now. heh
[04:58] <lorderunion> yay! (sarcasm(
[04:58] <DaSkreech> lorderunion: Boot up with the Live CD I'll wager you can't see your hard drives
[04:58] <lorderunion> ok
[05:01] <lorderunion> removed the flppy drive from my bios settings because i was tired of seeing errors for it not being there, heh
[05:02] <bill57785> anyone know a good hex editor?
[05:02] <DaSkreech> !find hex
[05:02] <ubotu> Found: libconvert-binhex-perl, dssi-plugin-hexter, ghex, ghextris, hex (and 9 others)
[05:03] <lorderunion> ghextris is a game
[05:03] <lorderunion> lol it wont boot from cd
[05:03] <lorderunion> wtf
[05:04] <DaSkreech> What does it say?
[05:04] <DaSkreech> Hi Hobbsee
[05:04] <lorderunion> Boot from CD:
[05:04] <lorderunion> for almost a minute now
[05:05] <lorderunion> theres got to be a problem with the ide setup
[05:05] <Hobbsee> hey DaSkreech
[05:06] <LaserJock> hi Hobbsee
[05:06] <lorderunion> checking ide cables now
[05:07] <DaSkreech> lorderunion: Ok well play with that make sure all the devices turn up in the BIOS then dial us back
[05:07] <lorderunion> sounds good
[05:07] <lorderunion> thanks for the help guys
[05:07] <bill57785> I really need to get a hex editor
[05:07] <lorderunion> bll
[05:07] <lorderunion> bbl*
[05:07] <aseigo> bill57785: khexedit =0
[05:07] <DaSkreech> bill57785: try msg ubotu find hex
[05:07] <Hobbsee> heya LaserJock!
[05:09] <bill57785> aseigo: what are you trying to say?
[05:10] <DaSkreech> bill57785: He's saying apt-get install khexedit
[05:12] <bill57785> ok....sry, I've only used Linux for a month or two
[05:12] <bill57785> and it came with everything I really needed
[05:12] <DaSkreech> bill57785: No problem do you use adept?
[05:13] <bill57785> yes
[05:14] <flaccid> pcbsd rules :)
[05:14] <bill57785> but where do I get the package for khexedit?
[05:15] <flaccid> !find khexedit
[05:15] <ubotu> Found: khexedit
[05:15] <flaccid> !khexedit
[05:15] <ubotu> khexedit: KDE hex editor. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 362 kB, installed size 1164 kB
[05:15] <flaccid> its in universe
[05:16] <DaSkreech> bill57785: Ok press alt+space and type adept then press enter
[05:17] <eddie> hello
[05:17] <DaSkreech> Yo
[05:17] <eddie> I need some help on using ndiswrapper
[05:17] <DaSkreech> bill57785: in the search bar type hex
[05:18] <DaSkreech> You should get some hits for hex editors
[05:18] <DaSkreech>  If you don't see khexedit then ping me
[05:19] <bill57785> k
[05:20] <eddie> i checked out the wifi docs what i did learn was my card (broadcom 4309)isnt supported by the bc43xx driver. I tried typing what it said into the terminal but it didnt seem to work
[05:25] <bill57785> do I need to be in gnome to run adept?
[05:25] <Hobbsee> no
[05:26] <Hobbsee> you can be in kde
[05:26] <bill57785> hmmm
[05:26] <bill57785> well why isn't it loading then?
[05:26] <bill57785> it shows it is loading in the taskbar
[05:26] <bill57785> and then it just disappears
[05:28] <Hobbsee> run it a second time?
[05:28] <Ruidoso_Silencio> good night everyone... I have some troubles here trying to run xsane... it crashes with some gtk error messages
[05:28] <bill57785> tried
[05:28] <bill57785> I tried the run command box, alt+space, and even just going into the programs list
[05:28] <bill57785> they all do the same thing
[05:29] <spiderx> wazap
[05:30] <Ruidoso_Silencio> hello spiderx :-\
[05:32] <DaSkreech> bill57785: Want to try the CLI?
[05:33] <bill57785> I'll try anything
[05:33] <bill57785> ^_^ this way I can learn and become more experienced
[05:33] <crimsun> mmm amarok 1.4.5.
[05:34] <bill57785> I like command line anyways....it's what I usually have to do to do almost any hack for my PSP
[05:35] <dawn> you know having a wireless USB MS mouse work perfectly on kubuntu is a huge win
[05:35] <dawn> just plug and go
[05:35] <Hobbsee> bill57785: try sudo adept?
[05:36] <dawn> big sell for ppl
[05:38] <Hobbsee> dawn: yay :)
[05:40] <bill57785> ok, sudo worked
[05:40] <bill57785> but adept shows khexedit
[05:40] <bill57785> but it says it is broken
[05:42] <phobiac> Are there any powerful graphing calculators for linux? I searched adept for "graphing" and the only graphing calc I find was graphmonkey, which works but I'm looking for one that can output a table as well as the graph.
[05:43] <DaSkreech> bill57785: does it say why its broken?
[05:44] <DaSkreech> phobiac: kplot?
[05:45] <phobiac> DaSkreech: I'll check that out
[05:45] <manchicken> phobiac: There aren't any in linux, but there are several for KDE and GNOME, and a few independent ones as well.
[05:46] <phobiac> Odd, I can't find kplot. I'll try quickplot though.
[05:49] <bill57785> well I uninstalled it
[05:49] <bill57785> and clicked install
[05:49] <bill57785> and the command line is still going
[05:49] <bill57785> fingers crossed
[05:50] <phobiac> Okay quickplot isn't a graphing calculator but it looks interesting. I'll have to check my sources.list again, I thought I enabled everything.
[05:51] <manchicken> phobiac: Look in adept for plot or graphing
[05:52] <DaSkreech> bill57785: How goes?
[05:54] <Hobbsee> phobiac: gnuplot, kmplot are both good
[05:54] <Hobbsee> DaSkreech: you meant kmplot, btw
[05:54] <DaSkreech> Thanks
[05:55] <DaSkreech> never used it
[05:55] <phobiac> I'll try those, thank you.
[05:55] <DaSkreech> I'll guess bill57785 is ool
[05:55] <DaSkreech> Night all
[05:56] <phobiac> Night
[05:56] <phobiac> Whoops too late
[05:58] <phobiac> Hmm, Kmplot is nice but I'm looking for the table feature I know some TI calculators have. Tiemu looks promising though.
[06:00] <eddie> hey guys, I'm having a problem with my broadcom 4309 wireless nic not enabeling. I'm new to linux, I have read the wifi docs on ubuntu.com, I found the bcw43xx driver doesnt support the 4309. I found ndisloader and I think I installed it. Then I try to follow the directions but what they say to type in the terminal doesn't work. I was just wondering if anyone could help.
[06:00] <flaccid> pastebin the error
[06:00] <flaccid> including the command
[06:04] <eddie> i'm sorry, new to irc also. are you talking to me flaccid?
[06:04] <flaccid> yes
[06:04] <Jucato> !pastebin
[06:04] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:05] <phobiac> Ooo, tiemu is perfect. Anyone who wants a TI calculator but doesn't want to drop the $100+ for one should check it out.
[06:07] <phobiac> It seems to not much like being resized though, unless that's beryl messing with it.
[06:07] <crimsun> does anyone use a mysql database for amarok?
[06:08] <crimsun> there seems to be a problem in feisty's amarok 1.4.5
[06:08] <eddie> oh, ok. well I closed it all out. but It was telling me to blacklist the bcw43xx drivers and it told me to type sudo get blacklist something and it said bash: command not found
[06:09] <crimsun> namely, amarok 1.4.5 is not communicating properly with mysql-server 5.0.32[-2] 
[06:11] <flaccid> eddie: can't help without what that command was. can't find something if you don't know what it is.
[06:13] <eddie> ok i'm sorry. I'm in Edgy, and it shows my wirless card in the network system settings, but it just wont enable.
[06:13] <phobiac> eddie: Pop open a konsole (if you didn't close the one you had open) and see if it saved to your history.
[06:13] <K`zan> How does one print to cups from the command line?
[06:14] <phobiac> Well, I'm off. Night all.
[06:15] <eddie> well I'll just start fresh tomorrow, thanks anyway
[06:25] <neil> hello is anyone there?
[06:27] <david> ello
[06:28] <david> anyone here
[06:33] <ForgeAus> well from #linux theres a poll its rather bad english but anyway I promised I'd send it to two friends... likely two people from here might at least see it...

[06:37] <bica> que pasa con este canal, esta muerto??
[06:37] <Jucato> !es | bica
[06:37] <ubotu> bica: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[06:39] <unix_infidel> lol, 300 people and dead, odd assessment.
[07:01] <CainMadness> Need help with installing a USB printer. Kubuntu does detect it, but not the specific model. ( It lists several versions of the model I have. About as accurate as Kubuntu can get. At which point... I'm stumped. )
[07:08] <mgu> where's acroread in Kubuntu feisty? I've already enabled multiverse, universe and restricted, yet the package isn't available?
[07:08] <Jucato> !info acroread feisty
[07:08] <ubotu> Package acroread does not exist in feisty
[07:08] <Jucato> hm... maybe it hasn't been packaged yet? better ask in #ubuntu+1
[07:25] <shinigami> hi, how do i check what hardwares i have in my computer from the console?
[07:26] <shinigami> !hardware
[07:26] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[07:27] <shinigami> !procs
[07:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about procs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:27] <Slackwise> shinigami: Well, one way is to use the command "lspci"
[07:27] <Slackwise> shinigami: But that only lists devices on the PCI bus.
[07:27] <Gretl> try ls -l /dev
[07:27] <shinigami> Slackwise: does the /dev shows all the hardwares in my computer???
[07:28] <shinigami> how do i know for example /dev/xxx is what hardware?
[07:29] <shinigami> eg../dev/video and /dev/video0 and /dev/video1 , how i know what are they?
[07:31] <Gretl> you shold see nvidea or ati bit before the video devices
[07:34] <dawn__> http://www.linuxgenuineadvantage.org/
[07:34] <dawn__> heh
[07:34] <surgy> im trying to get my sound to work on my compaq armada 1750 the driver is called, ess1869 and when i "sudo ./ess1869" i get the error "segmentation fault" what am i doing wrong?
[07:35] <surgy> it says that ess1869 is an executable when i right click it
[07:36] <Gretl> very sorry ....dont know that
[07:41] <alpha> ^^
[07:43] <mortici> how do i add a feisty repo?
[07:43] <mortici> or better yet how do i upgrade to feisty?
[07:44] <cpk1> mortici: why?
[07:44] <mortici> i want to upgrade samba to 3.0.23d
[07:44] <cpk1> is there a feature that you need in that version?
[07:44] <mortici> quite possibly
[07:44] <mortici> i won't know till i try it
[07:45] <cpk1> ... they have release notes
[07:45] <ksnipa> was wondering if anyone knows how to get the suse style kmenu bar running on kubuntu, like where I could download it from?
[07:45] <unix_infidel> ksnipa: suse style?
[07:45] <cpk1> upgrading to fiesty would most likely cause more problems than it would fix
[07:46] <mortici> :/
[07:46] <Jucato> I think he means the kickoff  menu
[07:46] <mortici> can i use a feisty repo so i can install the latest samba?
[07:46] <cpk1> wait and see if the package maintainer updates samba or if you *must* have it build it yourself
[07:46] <cpk1> no, that wouldnt work either, you could try finding a .deb of samba though
[07:47] <theshadow> Ok I don't know what I did, I made a change to the video drivers and some how killed my audio play back... can anyone help me?
[07:47] <mortici> hmmmm
[07:47] <ksnipa> unix_infidel: yea, http://home.kde.org/~binner/kickoff/sneak_preview.html
[07:47] <mortici> i found the debs
[07:47] <mortici> but it depends on other stuff
[07:47] <cpk1> if you cant think of a reason why you would need the newest samba then you probably dont need it
[07:47] <mortici> which i bet depends on other stuff
 you shold see nvidea or ati bit before the video devices <-- from ls ? i don't see it
[07:48] <Jucato> ksnipa: you might want to Google for kickoff .deb packages for Kubuntu
[07:48] <ksnipa> Jucato, thanks I'll check it out
[07:48] <Jucato> ksnipa: there are no official Kubuntu packages for it though. so install with caution
[07:48] <Gretl> well i see it perhaps you dont have nvidea driver installed?
[07:49] <Gretl> bt me expert in that i use most time the grafik system to infor me ;)
[07:50] <ksnipa> Jucato: thanks for the heads up, be honest I'm looking for something vista style, as badd as it maybe, the new start menu is something I actually liked, kickoff seemed similar so thought I'd give it a try
[07:51] <Jucato> ksnipa: you might want to check out kbfx then. it's not exactly like vista or kickoff, but kickoff was somehow based on it
[07:51] <surgy> when i try to install my sound card driver on my armada 1750 i get an error: Segmentation fault
[07:53] <ksnipa> Jucato: thanks for filling me in, I'm on the kbfx site right now looking into it
[07:58] <silentdestruct> hi i was wondering if anyone knew how to get 1280x800 on my monitor. i have intel 965, with gma x3000, and its a widescreen format :-/ its not on the slide bar.
[07:59] <theshadow> silentdestruct: it could be a couple of things, 1 you need the correct video card driver, 2 you need the monitor video driver or a compatible one
[08:00] <surgy> can someone please help me with my sound problem? im trying to install a sound card driver for an armada 1750 the driver is an executable called ess1869 and when i run it i get : segmentation fault
[08:00] <silentdestruct> well i know they dont make a driver for the onboard, so scratch that, and its a samsung 19" monitor 931bf which isnt on the drive list either
[08:00] <silentdestruct> so im guessing i may have to live with it being stretched
[08:01] <silentdestruct> or get a graphics card lol
[08:02] <juano__> silentdestruct:  kdesu kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:02] <juano__> silentdestruct: add the resolution you want to that file, make sure your card supports it, this wouyld be in section Display i believe
[08:03] <silentdestruct> ya my card goes up to 2048x2048
[08:04] <silentdestruct> do i jsut type 1280x800?
[08:04] <silentdestruct> and click save
[08:06] <silentdestruct> also when i ran that command, i got a few bad device errors, 168
[08:07] <akrus> amaroK 1.4.5?!
[08:08] <akrus> is it already released?
[08:08] <shinigami> hi, how do i make samba load up automatically everytime my computer boots up???? where's the startup script?
[08:08] <shinigami> !startup
[08:08] <ubotu> To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup
[08:08] <akrus> Gnome? :)
[08:08] <Jucato> hm.. not that..
[08:08] <shinigami> no i need kubuntu
[08:08] <akrus> in System Settings on "Advanced" Tab
[08:09] <Jucato> samba would need to start before X starts right?
[08:09] <shinigami> what's the command? which rc files?
[08:09] <akrus> ju
[08:09] <akrus> oops
[08:09] <Jucato> something in /etc afaik
[08:09] <akrus> Jucato: it's listed in services
[08:09] <Jucato> ah
[08:09] <akrus> I do :)
[08:09] <Jucato> I know.. it's a boring life :P
[08:09] <shinigami> oh nvmind
[08:09] <akrus> hehe
[08:09] <shinigami> how about
[08:10] <shinigami> a unix system.. u wanna run a /etc/init.d/samba start when the system boot up
[08:10] <shinigami> which file do u edit?
[08:10] <cpk1> it shouldnt really matter when samba starts, I guess you would want samba to start right before or right after your network interface goes up
[08:10] <akrus>  /etc/init.d/samba?
[08:10] <akrus>  /etc/rc.local? :)
[08:11] <akrus> oh does someone know why the font is changed from time to time?
[08:11] <akrus> I had DejaVu Sans/8 set as default
[08:11] <akrus> but today it changed to 9 somehow
[08:11] <akrus> that's a bit annoying lol
[08:14] <surgy> can someone tell me how to add a module? in particular i want to add the module es-1869?????????????
[08:18] <unix_infidel> surgy: a kernel module?
[08:18] <unix_infidel> modprobe is the command you are looking.
[08:19] <shinigami> blah..the answer is create a link in rc0.d to your /etc/init,d/xxx
[08:19] <surgy> unix_infidel: i guess i just need the sound card driver for my armada 1750 to work
[08:20] <unix_infidel> surgy: if that's the module then modprobe is the command.
[08:20] <surgy> unix_infidel: it doesnt find that module
[08:22] <unix_infidel> then its not part of your kernel.
[08:23] <shinigami> !rc.d
[08:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rc.d - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:27] <genii> Go Colts :)
[08:29] <genii> Anyone using netboot or preseeded cd installs? I still can't get one to auto-add some default user
[08:30] <genii> This is with both Dapper and Edgy
[08:37] <f00f> hello
[08:37] <f00f> I've got a laptop that I'm considering ditching gentoo with and moving to kubuntu, can I install kubuntu over gentoo w/o wiping the HD?
[08:38] <cpk1> f00f: you mean you want to keep /home but delete / ?
[08:39] <f00f> cpk1: yes, /home is about all I'd need to keep :)
[08:39] <f00f> I guess I could just rm all of the other directories except home
[08:39] <cpk1> f00f: if /home is already its own partition then you are fine, you can just tell the installer where that partition is
[08:39] <f00f> same partition
[08:39] <f00f> :/
[08:40] <f00f> I guess I'm hosed then :/
[08:40] <cpk1> your not hosed haha
[08:40] <cpk1> you could always make a new partition and then move /home over to that
[08:41] <f00f> true..
[08:41] <cpk1> or just back up your data
[08:41] <cpk1> which is always a good idea
[08:41] <f00f> but it is a 60 gig, and the majority of the crap is in my /home
[08:41] <f00f> and to boot no internal DVD burner :/
[08:42] <f00f> if I remove all of the config directories though, shouldn't it be able to just install over the existing partitions?
[08:56] <f00f> I can't really back up my laptop unless I do it on a bunch of CDs
[08:56] <f00f> :/
[09:08] <LarsJansen> hi guys, I'm running kubuntu dapper. can anyone tell me if theres an equivalent system tray thingy to the little twin moniter lights in windows that flash every time there's network activity in or out? kde sys guard is cool but isn't in the tray.
[09:11] <f00f> LarsJansen: there's plenty of kicker apps for network monitoring
[09:11] <f00f> take a look on kde-apps.org
[09:13] <LarsJansen> thanks man. i'll check the kicker. there's soo much network stuff for my puter... its a bit overwhelming:)
[09:14] <f00f> there was a cool one called... KNetLoad I think
[09:15] <LarsJansen> awesome!
[09:15] <LarsJansen> im grateful for the tip:) this is a great channel
[09:20] <LarsJansen> heh kicker = kde panel duh im learning
[09:21] <f00f> yeah, kicker is pretty fun
[09:21] <f00f> if you want something really cool (but you need a good video card, and prepare for a bit of tweaking to use it), try beryl
[09:22] <f00f> not for networking though, beryl is a 3D accelerated desktop
[09:23] <f00f> useless, but fun, eye candy meets a few useful features scattered about
[09:25] <f00f> brb.. gonna restart X to get out of beryl
[09:26] <Jucato> heh
[09:27] <f00f> back
[09:29] <genii> Jucato I'm a hockey fan normally but catch the superBowl of course :)
[09:30] <Jucato> :P
[09:31] <f00f> yaay colts :D!
[09:32] <intelikey> quiet in here...
[09:33] <f00f> hmm.. I could get an external drive enclosure for this 80GB I have
[09:33] <anonymeeee> when i'm installing software, how do I know what directory it goes in...
[09:33] <f00f> copy home dir onto drive
[09:34] <anonymeeee> like azureus...for example
[09:34] <f00f> then copy home dir back onto laptop after kubuntu is installed
[09:34] <anonymeeee> anyone else have trouble installing the JRE 1.5
[09:35] <intelikey> anonymeeee you don't.   what are you looking for?  what did you install ?
[09:35] <shinigami> hi.. i'm looking for some files in console.. so i use eg: "ls -lR | grep samba" ..how do i know which directory the files are at?
[09:36] <genii> shinigami use the locate command instead
[09:36] <genii> eg: locate samba|more
[09:36] <intelikey> shinigami ls is not the tool to search for files with.   find / -iname samba
[09:36] <genii> Jucate good point
[09:37] <Jucato> genii: that's an 'o' at the end of my name :)
[09:37] <genii> Bleh I'm tired :)
[09:37] <Jucato> shinigami: you might have better luck with find, as intelikey noted
[09:37] <shinigami> ic
[09:37] <Admiral_Chicago> hmm irssi didn't show the wave
[09:37] <shinigami> i would use find
[09:37] <Jucato> genii: Tab completion?
[09:37] <Admiral_Chicago> or the highlight that is
[09:37] <genii> Jucato: I'll remember to use the Tab completion
[09:38] <genii> I forgot it works in Chatzilla ...in ircii it doesn't
[09:38] <shinigami> how can i find a file which is like S20samba ? find -iname samba doesn't display this file
[09:38] <shinigami> find -iname *samba* also can't
[09:38] <genii> that looks like an init.d file
[09:38] <intelikey> shinigami for cli commands.    man <command_name>      man find
[09:38] <intelikey> shinigami that's not the way i typed it now is it....
[09:39] <intelikey> shinigami and if you use wild cards you should use quotes.    '*samba*'
[09:39] <shinigami> i wanna find in /etc
[09:39] <shinigami> find /etc/ -iname samba
[09:39] <intelikey> yep
[09:39] <shinigami> OHH got it
[09:40] <shinigami> ahhh great.. thx
[09:40] <intelikey> without quotes the shell will try to expand wildcards before sending them to the command.
[09:40] <intelikey> some times that causes issues.
[09:41] <genii> shinigami: Why are you trying to find this file? It looks from the beginning of it that it is one of the rc.d or init.d startup files
[09:41] <shinigami> hehee i'm discovering update-rc.d
[09:42] <shinigami> wanna find which level my samba is running at
[09:42] <shinigami> and sequence
[09:42] <shinigami> so its like..S20samba at rc3..4..5... and K19samba at rc0..1..6 etc
[09:42] <shinigami> anyway got it
[09:43] <genii> Ah OK :) Thought maybe you figured it was some problem file to delete or so on LOL
[09:44] <shinigami> but then again.. find doesn't show link files linking to where?
[09:44] <eMish_> I removed the package X with dpkg -r. How do I remove the remove also packages that were auto-installed when I I installed X with apt-get ?
[09:45] <intelikey> shinigami well for that usage maybe i was hastey   ls -l /etc/rc.* | less
[09:45] <eMish_>  I removed the package X with dpkg -r. How do I remove those packages that were auto-installed when I installed X with apt-get ?
[09:46] <intelikey> or ls -l /etc/rc.?/ | cut -c50- | less
[09:49] <shinigami> yeah.. i noticed if you use | grep xxx , u can't see the directory of the files found..nvmind
[09:49] <shinigami> double search..find first, then ls
[09:49] <intelikey> eMish_ you could feed   apt-cache show X | grep '^Depends:'   into a string command.
[09:49] <concept10> anyone here in the ubuntu channel
[09:53] <jackpot_2001> hi all
[09:58] <harmental> hi everybody...
[09:59] <harmental> does anybody uses a usb bluetooth dongle?
[10:00] <Admiral_Chicago> i know people that do
[10:00] <Jucato> hi Admiral_Chicago! glad to see you're back :)
[10:00] <harmental> i think i mught me be missing something here....
[10:01] <harmental> both the pc and my cell phone see each other....but we I try to connect or send files.....it just wont work....
[10:01] <harmental> im a little lost here.....google was of no help either...
[10:02] <Jucato> mine worked ootb...
[10:02] <Admiral_Chicago> i've been here, never sleeping, you know
[10:03] <Admiral_Chicago> yes that is odd, have you searched the forums
[10:03] <harmental> yeap.....
[10:03] <harmental> but i dont find my cell in there....
[10:03] <harmental> i have an LG KU311...
[10:04] <Admiral_Chicago> hmm, what kinda system are you on?
[10:04] <harmental> anyway....i've tried the tutos for other phones but i dont get them to work for me..
[10:04] <harmental> Kubuntu Edgy
[10:05] <harmental> i've never tried usb-BT with Kubuntu Dapper....(brand new cell phone... :o)
[10:05] <Admiral_Chicago> hmm, i have no idea how to fix it, maybe someone on teh formus will know
[10:12] <harmental> ok thx anyway...
[10:17] <shinigami> how do u monitor a file's size as it grows, in real time?
[10:18] <intelikey> while true ;do ls -l filename ;done    ?
[10:18] <intelikey> ^C to terminate.
[10:20] <Jucato> nah...
[10:20] <intelikey> not exactly real time...
[10:20] <intelikey> but neither is what i did.
[10:21] <Jucato> hm...
[10:21] <shinigami> cool
[10:21] <shinigami> watch -d ls -lh
[10:22] <Admiral_Chicago> hmm, feisty is nice...
[10:23] <Jucato> watch --interval=0.1 ls -l <filename>
[10:23] <Jucato> or watch --interval=0.1 ls -lh <filename>
[10:23] <shinigami> yeah watch is cool! thx
[10:25] <shinigami> actually can't 0.1 ..min. is 1 sec..hehe
[10:26] <Jucato> huh?
[10:26] <Jucato> ok. if you say so :)
[10:28] <intelikey> nice...
[10:28] <Jucato> intelikey: real time enough for you? :)
[10:29] <chavo> using the 9746 drivers here
[10:29] <intelikey> Jucato the exploited exploit in my irc client Jucato ?   that wasn't you...
[10:29] <Jucato> chavo: from nvidia.com directly?
[10:29] <chavo> yes
[10:29] <Jucato> intelikey: nope... I don't usually exploit
[10:30] <intelikey> or the watch command?    no not real time enough.
[10:30] <intelikey> but it wasn't for me i was just playing with it cause someone asked...
[10:30] <Jucato> the watch command
[10:32] <intelikey> i don't really mind that a shell opened in my irc client.  they'll have a time trying to gain any root access and i have no sensitive data    but it's not every day someome succeeds at something like that.
[10:34] <intelikey> kinda took me by surprise.... i was in another tty playing with the watch command and came back to see that i'd been owned...
[10:38] <shinigami> owned by?
[10:39] <intelikey> still not sure.
[10:40] <intelikey> i'm looking in the logs but i'm not finding anything....
[10:40] <shinigami> how did u discover?
[10:41] <intelikey> doesn't really look like anyone actually gained any access,  just remotely triggered an exploit.
[10:41] <intelikey> shinigami read the post  ^
 i don't really mind that a shell opened in my irc client.  <<< ^
[10:42] <shinigami> ok i created a partition 5.5gig for / , and 1gig for swap, the rest of the space for /home
[10:42] <intelikey> well i guess that may be a little vague.    when i came back to this tty.  there was a shell running where an irc client used to be.
[10:42] <shinigami> when i'm at / , everything in / is consider as 5.5 gig partition, except /home ??
[10:43] <intelikey> that would have been nothing if the irc client had just died.  but there were actually several shells running in the same tty at one time.
[10:44] <intelikey> shinigami correct  ^
[10:44] <intelikey> well and the ram mounted on /dev  and /var/lo*
[10:45] <intelikey> mount might reviel that
[10:45] <intelikey> if not cat /proc/mounts
[10:45] <shinigami> i'm looking at df -h ..abit confusing
[10:46] <intelikey> man du
[10:46] <intelikey> shinigami what's confusing about that ?
[10:46] <shinigami> varrun, varlock, udev, devshm, lrm = swap memory partition?
[10:46] <intelikey> memory
[10:47] <intelikey> RAM
[10:47] <fairman> Hi, i need help to set more IP adress for one network card, could somebody advice me? I have problem with eth0
[10:47] <shinigami> i'm concern about 5.5gig not enough for / partition ? 50% used up now...
[10:47] <intelikey> and all the same ram at that.... i guess that is confusing...
[10:48] <intelikey> shinigami concerned about 5G /  .... you have almost everything in there that you will ever have unless that's a wev server then /var should be seperate. and larger.
[10:49] <shinigami> haha....
[10:50] <KomiaPoika> i am imbecile. how do i install a kernel server in ubuntu?
[10:51] <intelikey> shinicami the whole installation is less than 3g the way you have it now.   and you think you will add another 2G of packages ?
[10:51] <fairman> I need right syntax for adding netmask - this is bad (ifconfig netmask addr eth0:0 255.255.255.192), could somebody write me right syntax?
[10:52] <shinigami> phew..so its enough cool hehe
[10:53] <shinigami> fairman: u could edit /etc/network/interfaces ??
[10:53] <fairman> shinigami: yes
[10:54] <intelikey> KomiaPoika "kernel server" ?
[10:54] <shinigami> fairman: so ..what u want? hehe
[10:55] <shinigami> fairman: look in that file, see the line which have eth0 ?
[10:56] <intelikey> edit as root  ^
[10:56] <fairman> shinigami:My goal is set one internal IP for internal network and i have one public IP for the public network (internet) Could i send you my interfaces file throught PM?
[10:58] <shinigami> fairman: your current computer is connected to where? a router/server/adsl modem? <-- is dhcp server enabled or you have to provide a static ip ?
[10:58] <shinigami> oh... i can't do
[10:58] <shinigami> oh... i can't do PMs.. it says i'm not registered
[10:58] <shinigami> haha
[10:58] <intelikey> !register
[10:58] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[10:59] <fairman> shinigami: I have static IP (10.107.30.24... internal) and public IP. We do not have dhcp server
[10:59] <shinigami2> fairman: k..do you know the..gateway for the internet?
[11:00] <shinigami2> then it should be... iface eth0 inet static
[11:00] <fairman> shinigami2: I now my default gateway - 10.107.30.1
[11:00] <shinigami2> address 10.107.30.24
[11:00] <shinigami2> netmask 255.255.255.0
[11:00] <KomiaPoika> intelikey: some server that automatically fetches new kernels and makes them readily available
[11:01] <fairman> shinigami2: http://hradecke.frisbee.cz/tmp/interfaces.txt - this is my config file
[11:01] <intelikey> readily available too ?   general public ?
[11:03] <intelikey> KomiaPoika i'm sorry you'll have to spell it out for me.  fetching from where and makeing avalable to whom    so i'll have some idea what you need to get that done.
[11:03] <KomiaPoika> intelikey: to make the new kernels available for itself and other linux boxes on the lan
[11:05] <shinigami2> fairman: hi
[11:05] <shinigami2> fairman: u try http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4246/
[11:05] <shinigami2> fairman: do a ifdown eth0 and ifup eth0 ..
[11:06] <fairman> shinigami2: yes, i did /etc/init.d/networking restart
[11:06] <intelikey> fetching from the repos, making avalable to the boot loader is a simple matter of installing linux-image-generic   or the like.   to make the same packages avalable to local net.  you'll need to ftp them.  or copy them to a shared dir      to fetch kernels from non-ubuntu.repo'd sources you'll have to wget or other fetch means from the address you want... kernel.org or the like.
[11:07] <fairman> shinigami2: and now i need add second IP adress for internet, i was trying it throught a few manuals, but it everytime failed
[11:08] <intelikey> KomiaPoika so cron job one box to keep it's kernel uptodate and cron the next step to cp /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-* to a share
[11:08] <shinigami2> fairman: i suppose.. the second ip address you talking about..is the gateway
[11:08] <shinigami2> fairman: what's the thing that connects u to internet?? (gateway)
[11:09] <shinigami2> fairman: is it 10.107.30.1 ??
[11:09] <fairman> shinigami2: My gateway (access point -wifi network) is 10.107.30.1 and i need to set up my second IP 89.248.244.6
[11:09] <fairman> shinigami2: yes
[11:09] <shinigami2> second ip?
[11:09] <shinigami2> *scratch head*
[11:10] <intelikey> have the other boxes cp from the share to their /var/cache/apt/archives/   and have them run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade      that will install the updated kernel packages.       if that helps you...
[11:10] <fairman> shinigami2: No second, but public - for internet access
[11:10] <shinigami2> ohhhhhhhh you mean the wan ip
[11:11] <shinigami2> u can ignore that wan ip first
[11:11] <shinigami2> can u type "route" and paste for me what u see?
[11:11] <intelikey> !paste
[11:11] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)

[11:12] <crazy_bus> I got a new harddrive and I am installing kubuntu.  I wan't to get my firefox bookmarks off my old harddrive.  What do I copy?
[11:12] <intelikey> are you sure it's only 2 lines ?
[11:13] <shinigami2> haha...no
[11:13] <shinigami2> crazy_bus: old harddrive is using what?
[11:14] <intelikey> crazy_bus /home/crazy_bus's_name/.*firefox/something/bookmarks.xml    or something like that.
[11:14] <crazy_bus> My old harddrive was using kubuntu
[11:14] <intelikey> actually /mountpoint/home/* ^
[11:15] <shinigami2> go ~/.mozilla/firefox/funnycodes/bookmark*
[11:16] <intelikey> anyway it's a hidden folder  yeah .mozilla  or .mozilla-firefox  or some thing
[11:16] <shinigami2> gtg
[11:17] <intelikey> i didn't really see anything i liked about it.  but i'm not a serfer...
[11:18] <KomiaPoika> intelikey: okay, thanks
[11:19] <intelikey> eyecandy to the blind, music to the deaf, and mountian climbing to the lame...    just not worth much.
[11:20] <intelikey> KomiaPoika if that's not specific enough or not the "way" you want to do it, just hail me.   and you're welcome.
[11:20] <fairman> shinigami2: i am sorry, i had connection problem - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4248/
[11:20] <intelikey> -:- SignOff shinigami2: #kubuntu (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
[11:20] <KomiaPoika> intelikey: no i think that's what i want
[11:21] <intelikey> requires setting up two cron jobs and a local share.  on the server end and the client end one cron job   pretty simple.
[11:21] <KomiaPoika> gotcha
[11:25] <fairman> hm, shinigami2 went offline, could somebe advice me how to add WAN IP for this settings: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4248/ ?
[11:26] <crazy_bus> to the person who said I should do a memory check.  I did 5 passes and couldn't find any errors
[11:27] <intelikey> memory or badblocks check ?   i said that yestergo...
[11:27] <intelikey> i don't think i mentioned memory though
[11:29] <intelikey> crazy_bus did you badblocks the drive like i sujested ?    just curious how that turned out...
[11:29] <StooJ> Hello all
[11:29] <intelikey> say
[11:30] <crazy_bus> You left
[11:30] <crazy_bus> It wouldn't badblocks the entired harddrive all at once.  It said it was busy
[11:31] <crazy_bus> But it check the individule partitions just fine
[11:31] <crazy_bus> *checked
[11:32] <crazy_bus> and it ran on the affected partition for a long time and then finished without saying anything
[11:32] <intelikey> theres the problem.  if it wouldn't check the disk then the disk is not functioning properly....      errr  did you      swapoff -a      first ?     if so the disk is bad.  if not that's why it wouldn't check it.
[11:33] <crazy_bus> I only thought about the harddrives.  I forgot about swap :)
[11:33] <crazy_bus> I tried to ask you but you left :)
[11:34] <akrus> could someone help me configuring linphone?
[11:34] <akrus> I can hear everything, but noone does hear me
[11:34] <intelikey> well that happens...   everybody gotta sleep sometime.
[11:34] <crazy_bus> would the check on the bad partition be just as good (for that part of the drive) as a check on the whole drive?
[11:35] <StooJ> I would be very grateful a bit of help with installing if someone has a minute to spare
[11:37] <waylandbill> StooJ: what's giving you trouble?
[11:38] <intelikey> well  one would think so.    at first, but.  if the drive geometery or partition table was unstable for some cause   then actually,  NO.    but most likely, and i hate to think this and hate to say it, but most likely it's the kernel and the specific hardware some how not jiving togather.      if the hareware is stable for othere systems and disk is flawless.... that only leaves the kernel really.
[11:38] <StooJ> Just a concept
[11:38] <intelikey> crazy_bus ^
[11:38] <StooJ> Trying a dual boot system - what does "Hide" mean in the partition editor?
[11:38] <crazy_bus> intelikey: I got a new harddrive today anyway :)
[11:39] <StooJ> Does it hide the partition from the next step in the installer? Or does it hide it from Kubuntu when it's installed?
[11:39] <intelikey> crazy_bus what will you take for the old one ?
[11:39] <intelikey> i'm curious about it...
[11:40] <intelikey> no wait.  i don't have any sata interface atm...
[11:40] <intelikey> that was sata wasn't it ?
[11:40] <crazy_bus> I was thinking of copying my /home partition.  But then I thought I may as well just start again.  I'm copying my video's, audio, source files and my firefox bookmarks
[11:42] <intelikey> oh you are an ausi  shipping would be high too...
[11:43] <crazy_bus> Were you asking me about sata?
[11:43] <GalaZ> hi
[11:43] <intelikey> yeah
[11:43] <crazy_bus> No I just use ide
[11:43] <crazy_bus> I don't have sata on my motherboard
[11:43] <GalaZ> guys how can i see the configuration of my kde?
[11:43] <intelikey> oh ok  but shipping would still be high...
[11:44] <intelikey> so probably not worth it just to test the thing...
[11:44] <crazy_bus> intelikey: I didn't pay for shipping.  I broke down and bought a hard drive from an electronics shop
[11:44] <oslo> i'd like to use real transparency with kicker & yakuake ,i'm on dapper any infos ??

[12:03] <StooJ> Does it hide the partition from the next step in the installer? Or does it hide it from Kubuntu when it's installed?
[12:04] <intelikey> it hides it from windows       i guess
[12:04] <intelikey> can you hide a partition from linux ?
[12:04] <StooJ> From Windows?
[12:04] <StooJ> Oops.
[12:05] <StooJ> I've set the XP partitions to hidden
[12:05] <intelikey> i don't think that's what you want.
[12:05] <intelikey> but i don't use paritions so i don't try to keep up with all that too closly
[12:06] <genii> Yes, you can hide partitions and add passwords to them even
[12:06] <StooJ> No. Can I just unmount the windows partitions in the installer?
[12:06] <genii> There is a utility for this on the Ultimate Boot Cd for example
[12:06] <StooJ> Genii, does the "hide" option hide the partitions from linux or from Windows?
[12:06] <intelikey> genii how ?     how do you hide a partition from linux ?
[12:07] <StooJ> I can't find an explanation of what "hide" actually does in the partition setup
[12:07] <genii> intelikey I'm not exactly sure how the machanics worjk but it locked me out of changing anything to one I modified this way before.
[12:08] <intelikey> genii hmmm   you have it still that way ?
[12:09] <genii> intelikey No, I was messing with it to see how it worked. I put in the password to unlock it then merged it elsewhere after
[12:09] <genii> intelikey From what I can gather it's some executable that resides in the mbr
[12:09] <intelikey> sounds like encription  to me.
[12:10] <StooJ> Is there a way to hide the Linux partitions from XP?
[12:11] <genii> intelikey a minute, I'll find the name of the app that does that
[12:11] <Lynoure> StooJ: xp cannot read ext3 by default anyway
[12:11] <genii> intelikey http://www.rockbox.org/lock.html
[12:12] <intelikey> StooJ yes, the boot loader can hide partitions from M$
[12:12] <GalaZ> intelikey, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4250/   how can i install firefox?
[12:13] <intelikey> !ff | GalaZ
[12:13] <ubotu> GalaZ: firefox is the default web-browser on Ubuntu. To install the latest version, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxNewVersion Installing plugins: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxPlugins
[12:14] <StooJ> Lynoure: I was going to install FS-Drive
[12:14] <cntb> installation was on sda . now transitioned and trying to recover on hda
[12:15] <StooJ> Intelikey: how easy is it to mess about with the bootloader? It there a gui?
[12:15] <cntb> bott still looks for sda and I want to correct this
[12:16] <waylandbill> anyone know of a program that will take a list of email addresses and send a seperate copy of an email to each address? (i.e. form letter)
[12:17] <GalaZ> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/4250/
[12:17] <intelikey> cntb  edit /etc/fstab  /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/devices.list    and rebuild your initramfs.img    part of those are required on any migration especally the first and last
[12:17] <genii> waylandbill massmail
[12:17] <intelikey> GalaZ i saw that already.
[12:17] <intelikey> and don't care to see it again.
[12:18] <cntb> intelikey: tyvm
[12:18] <GalaZ> oh thx u don't see :D
[12:18] <cntb> how do I rebuild initramfs.img
[12:18] <intelikey> !ff2
[12:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ff2 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:18] <intelikey> !firefox2
[12:18] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about firefox2 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:19] <cntb> is there any detect uti;lity Ican use to auto rebuild /etc/fstab intelikey
[12:19] <cntb> in rescue mode i mean ! on alternate CD booting in my target root partition
[12:19] <intelikey> cntb you setup all the other stuff and then issue the command   mkinitramfs -o <outputfilename> `uname -r`     inturpreting <*>
[12:20] <cntb> that sounds like a clue intelikey wow
[12:21] <cntb> how can I figure out the switches you give on mkinitramfs - ?
[12:21] <intelikey> cntb man mkinitramfs
[12:21] <intelikey> man man
[12:21] <intelikey> man intro
[12:21] <intelikey> man info
[12:22] <intelikey> man man man man
[12:22] <cntb> found mkinitramfs - in /usr/sbin
[12:23] <intelikey> man
[12:23] <genii> waylandbill If you have mailutils installed, you have commandline mail installed. If you have a text file of email addresses comma separated, you can do: mail -s"subject here" -b `cat /emaillisthere` < somefilecontainingthebodyofemail
[12:23] <cntb> intelikey: `manned it alright now what is the outputfile in mkinitramfs ?
[12:24] <intelikey> /boot/init*.img*
[12:24] <intelikey> look and see
[12:24] <cntb> what if I issue command mkinitramfs with no switches in rescue env  intelikey ?
[12:24] <intelikey> they are kernel versin specific
[12:24] <cntb> OK
[12:25] <cntb> looking in /boot tyvm intelikey
[12:25] <intelikey> np
[12:25] <cntb> lps tab my nick so I can see your answers
[12:25] <waylandbill> genii: ok. thanks
[12:25] <cntb> other than that you are very helpful
[12:26] <zorglu> im running xgl and i got quite a weird bug, if i launch konversation, i got the server list window poping up and no way to close it. while all other windows works fine. anybody already encountered similar issues ?
[12:27] <cntb> intelikey: one more pls
[12:28] <intelikey> ok.
[12:28] <cntb> intelikey:  is /boot/initrd.img-2.6.17-10-generic ny output file for mkinitramfs ?
[12:28] <genii> waylandbill np
[12:28] <cntb> is it intelikey ?
[12:29] <intelikey> cntb if the kernel version is 2.6.17-10-generic then yes.  uname -r    or uname -a
[12:29] <intelikey> you can build for any installed version of the kernel.
[12:30] <intelikey> ls /lib/modules/
[12:30] <intelikey> that will show you what kernels are installed.
[12:30] <intelikey> or "should" show you.
[12:34] <intelikey> i started to write a script for migrating root partitions   but found that it needed user input anyway and figured no body would use it...   so i think i rm'd it.
[12:34] <cntb> intelikey: i would pretty much use it
[12:35] <cntb> good for you
[12:35] <intelikey> ah no, i still have it.   it's not finished. i stopped at reinstalling grub...
[12:35] <cntb> hi Jucato
[12:35] <Quilano> hi all
[12:35] <cntb> will be happy to be in touch with you
[12:35] <Jucato> hi cntb
[12:36] <cntb> I and and colleague do a lot of XP installs intelikey
[12:36] <intelikey> k
[12:36] <intelikey> i'll think about finishing it...
[12:36] <cntb> now intelikey I am trying for more than 9 months to add linux to those quick installss
[12:37] <cntb> ;-) intelikey acronis or ghost
[12:37] <Quilano> anyone experienced problems with xserv-xorg while upgrading to edgy?
[12:37] <cntb> where do you live intelikey /
[12:37] <intelikey> Quilano lots have
[12:37] <intelikey> cntb in a house.

[12:38] <intelikey> yeah beets a tent.
[12:38] <cntb> what TZ intelikey what country ?
[12:39] <Quilano> intelikey: read a lot of threats, but apt-get -f install did not help. Neither can install nor remove xserver-xorg
[12:39] <intelikey> now if i wanted that plastered all over the internet i wouldn't go through the trubble of making my ip show some place else cntb
[12:39] <intelikey> Quilano sudo dpkg --configure -a
[12:40] <cntb> why uname -r gives me 2.6.17-10-386 intelikey while ls /lib/modules shows only -generic
[12:40] <intelikey> cause you are running a kernel form some other installation ?
[12:40] <cntb> no worries intelikey. PM it if you feel me a friend
[12:41] <cntb> yep intelikey from alternateCD rescue right
[12:41] <intelikey> yep
[12:41] <intelikey> so build for the installed kernel.
[12:42] <cntb> paste me your suggestion again pls for mkinitramfs command. this time "nick tabbed" pls
[12:42] <intelikey> i've gota do rounds. back when.
[12:42] <wladimir> someone knows, how to install qt for development under Dapper drake? qmake does not do anythin by typing qmake -project test.cpp
[12:43] <Quilano> intelikey: dpkg gives me a bunch of errors. Unfortunately I can only see the last 25 lines
[12:43] <wladimir> qt 4 i mean
[12:44] <genii> Quilano It won't let you install the later xserver-xorg? You can specify version to install/prefer by: apt-get install xserver-xorg=1:7.1.1ubuntu6.2
[12:46] <Quilano> genii: this gives me a lot of dependency problems (xutils, xutils-dev, xserver-xorg, xserver-xorg-core)
[12:47] <GalaZ> Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest flash player.
[12:47] <genii> Quilano Yes it says something like prefers version x but version x will be installed?
[12:47] <GalaZ> how can I see if JavaScript is turned off?

[12:48] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wav - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:48] <Quilano> genii: depends on >: 1:1.1.1. but 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10.5 should be installed...
[12:49] <Quilano> genii: I have it in German, so sorry if the translation is not 100% correct
[12:49] <genii> Quilano do  apt-get -f install   then after  apt-get upgrade   then try to install it again
[12:49] <drarem_afk> how do i get audio working
[12:49] <genii> Quilano: with sudo as neccesary of course
[12:53] <Quilano> genii: I'll try this. But sudo apt-get -f install already gives me problems: dpkg: xserver-xorg: Dependenc problem, but will erase it anyway: x-window-system-core depends on xserver-xorg...
[12:53] <cntb> intelikey gone
[12:54] <mena> hi ...freinds .......i had a problem with my network conection with kubuntu and i got this after it was working i dont what happened but i install kubuntu for begining with xp and now the samr problem is i cant conect ....so if you have any idea plz or if there is a channel plz tell mee
[12:54] <mena> for>>>from*
[12:54] <mena> samr>>>same*
[12:57] <genii> Quilano I had a similar issue when I did a dist-upgrade styraight from breezy to edgy. I spent a while backtracking  to the root dependency packages. then doing the routine of: apt-get install package=specificversion   then apt-get -f install then apt-get upgrade then install the package again and see what further up dep it needs and so on. Tedious but finally got it
[01:00] <Quilano> genii: Hmm, thats what I was afraid of :-(
[01:02] <genii> Quilano The main problem is that the database of packages is still using the old versions as the preferred and so on. I looked for a while on how to change this but made little headway
[01:02] <Quilano> genii: So I'll just do the same as you did...
[01:03] <genii> Quilano It gets a little further every time til it hits some root package then it goes pretty good
[01:10] <cntb> still stuck at initramfs
[01:11] <cntb> what is yaboot ?

[01:51] <johny_> paulcarpenter: Where exactly this setting is located - i can't find it?
[01:51] <ubuntu_> so problems...
[01:51] <genii> Shouldn't sudo apt-get -f install linux-image-$(uname -r)                refresh your modules to the right kernel version tags?
[01:51] <paulcarpenter> Settings is between Tools and Help at the Top
[01:52] <Jucato> johny_: actually, Open up Konqueror (web browser), go to the web page, then Settings -> Save View Profile
[01:52] <paulcarpenter> Configure Konqueor is at the bottom of that list
[01:52] <Jucato> Make sure the "Save URL in profile" is checked
[01:52] <johny_> paulcarpenter: heh, I do know that :)
[01:52] <Jucato> paulcarpenter: that will change the Home URL, not the startup page
[01:52] <paulcarpenter> then the Home URL is under the behavior tab
[01:53] <ubuntu_> next login i can't see anything more than login window help please
[01:53] <paulcarpenter> that's what a Home page is.

[03:14] <vyoman> lenscape: thanks - shared troubles are half the troubles :)
[03:14] <lenscape> I think Kubuntu is pretty buggy. They've messed about with KDE so bits don't work properly
[03:15] <lenscape> I've assigned Win+V as shortcut to start Vim. It doesn't work. It works on all my other systems
[03:15] <lenscape> I just end up with a 'v' typed into whatever my current window is
[03:15] <lenscape> other win+ shortcuts are working fine!
[03:16] <vyoman> lenscape: i am very happy with kubuntu - i do all my development on it - but perhaps I have to move away from kmail
[03:16] <namuch> why does konqueror ignore the ctrl key when trying to select multiple files? this doesn't happen on any other distro i've used, any ideas?
[03:16] <lenscape> vyoman: kmail is great.
[03:17] <soulrider> namuch: works for me =/
[03:17] <vyoman> lenscape: true true - but it hangs on the spam and anti virus filters ...
[03:17] <lenscape> vyoman: have you tried SuSE?
[03:18] <lenscape> vyoman: I use the bogofilter on kmail and no problems
[03:18] <xevil> namuch: try using the shift key
[03:18] <vyoman> lenscape: i started off with slackware and then SUSE for many years, however i never really used as a develpment machine - only kubuntu made me make the switch
[03:19] <namuch> the shift key works as advertised, select multiple files in groups, but the ctrl-key behaves as if no key is being held down
[03:19] <namuch> konqueror is the only app mis-behaving, all others are doing what they should
[03:19] <lenscape> namuch: check your keyboard configuration in kcontrol. Compare it with a system that works
[03:19] <vyoman> lenscape: is your bogo filter running without delays? are you using clam av?
[03:20] <namuch> i have kde 3.3.5 running on 4 other (gentoo) systems with no problems, so i'm a bit confused by this
[03:20] <lenscape> vyoman: I don't use any AV on Linux. Bogo runs quite fast enough
[03:20] <xevil> namuch: OK, my bad... I get your drift... the ctrl key works for me
[03:21] <vyoman> lenscape: thanks for help!
[03:21] <vyoman> lenscape:  *your help!
[03:22] <namuch> actually i meant kde 3.5.5, not 3.3.5
[03:22] <lenscape> hmm...got Win+V working. I reassigned it to a few other letters first then back to Win+V and now it's OK!
[03:22] <stdin> wooh, amarok 1.4.5 is in feisty now :)
[03:23] <lenscape> flakey
[03:23] <slyfox> Does anyone here managed to use Bluetooth ?
[03:24] <slyfox> Did anyone...
[03:24] <lenscape> slyfox: I used it on SuSE. Couldn't get it working on Kubuntu
[03:24] <stdin> I *have* used it before, but that was a while ago now
[03:25] <slyfox> lenscape: What is your problem? Mine is that it discoveres my phone, but when I press Next, it starts to search for phone services, but just does it forever with a 52% cpu use and that is it. Kbluetooth..
[03:26] <slyfox> There is this, but I have no idea how to use it: http://bluetooth.kmobiletools.org/taxonomy/term/5
[03:26] <lenscape> slyfox: My problem is it never sees any devices
[03:26] <slyfox> How to isnall it I mean
[03:26] <slyfox> lenscape: See if you can isntall the latest version
[03:26] <slyfox> brb
[03:26] <lenscape> kbluetoothd seems to be working OK
[03:33] <qtgeo> aloha!
[03:33] <qtgeo> I DO have to admint that kubuntu runs GREAT!!!!!!!!
[03:33] <qtgeo> thanx debian!!!!!!!1
[03:33] <qtgeo> u guys deserve a big BRAVO!
[03:34] <stdin> thank the guys in #kubuntu-devel too :)
[03:36] <slyfox> Where do we report the bug that bluetooth is not working ?
[03:37] <stdin> !bug
[03:37] <ubotu> If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug report at: http://bugs.ubuntu.com/  -  Bugs in/wishes for the bots can be filed at http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots
[03:37] <Jucato> slyfox: try to get someone to reproduce your problem
[03:37] <stdin> you can also file a support request
[03:38] <slyfox> Jucato: good question. It will take me some time to do that. Who has a bluetooth and a phone in Kubuntu ?
[03:38] <Jucato> I do. USB Bluetooth dongle and a Nokia 6600
[03:39] <Jucato> and they both work fine. just checked more than an hour ago
[03:39] <slyfox> Jucato: do you use Kmobile tools ?
[03:39] <Jucato> ah no. not that...
[03:39] <slyfox> Jucato: can you please tell me your step to connect ?
[03:40] <Jucato> w/ kmobiletools? or just plain pairing of devices?
[03:41] <slyfox> Jucato: Well, first of all, what do you use if not Kmobile tools? My problem is that in Kmobiel tools - bluetooth wizard sees my phone and when I press next, it searches for my phone supported services and it just stops there with 52% CPU use and that is it. I have to kill the process. Just Kbluetooth works as I can enter my phone and browse files fine. But there is no way I can somehow manage my phonebook and
[03:41] <slyfox> calendar.. What do you do ?
[03:42] <sorush20> can I get to use protein explorer in ubuntu pdb viewer
[03:42] <Jucato> slyfox: I only pair my phone and my pc to transfer files... that's all
[03:43] <slyfox> Jucato: this sucks. I really wanted to sync my Korganizer with my phone.
[03:43] <Jucato> so the problem might actually be in kmobiletools if you can use plain bluetooth just fine
[03:43] <slyfox> Jucato: can you please see if you can use Kmobile tools ?
[03:43] <Jucato> ok I'll try
[03:44] <dal1> is there any startup script that runs as root i can append to?
[03:44] <dal1> like a init.d thing
[03:44] <slyfox> Jucato: Can it be, because I got kmobiel tools from here: http://www.kmobiletools.org/downloads and it was the latest verison, but for Kubuntu Depper ?
[03:44] <Jucato> slyfox: ah you're on dapper? I'm on Edgy
[03:45] <slyfox> Jucato: I am also on Edgy
[03:45] <Jucato> ah
[03:52] <slyfox> Jucato: How is it going?
[03:52] <Jucato> slyfox: I don't even know how to connect the two using kmobiletools... I can pair my phone just fine w/ my pc using BT... but I'm not familiar with kmobile
[03:53] <slyfox> Jucato: did you download the latest package?
[03:53] <Jucato> no. just the one from the repositories
[03:54] <Jucato> 0.4.3.3
[03:54] <slyfox> Jucato: In the latest package you get a wizzard which guides you. In the one from repositories, you have to specify the phone location n the devices
[03:54] <Jucato> ok let me try
[03:55] <genii> Well, just messing around trying to do a straight dist-upgrade from breezy to feisty I somehow ended up with only memtest as an option to boot ROFL
[03:55] <Jucato> genii: simply because you can't/shouldn't
[03:55] <genii> Good thing I have a CD
[03:55] <genii> Jucato Well, it was an experiment :)
[03:56] <Jucato> well at least now you know better
[03:56] <Jucato> and can advise others not to do it, even as an experiment :P
[03:56] <genii> :)
[03:58] <z0di4k> I am running Xorg 7.1.1 on kUbuntu Edgy.  I have 3 monitors setup.  The first 2 are on a PCI-E nVidia GeForce 6600GT using proprietary nVidia drivers, the third is on a PCI Riva TnT2 using the nv driver.  The first time I run xorg every day, when I put the mouse on the third monitor xorg crashes.  I restart it, and it is stable all day long.  I can use the third monitor fine.  Any ideas?
[04:00] <slyfox> Jucato: any news?
[04:00] <Jucato> hm...
[04:01] <Jucato> well, I can connect fine
[04:01] <Jucato> nothing hangs up...
[04:02] <slyfox> Jucato: with what? with kmobile tools?
[04:02] <Jucato> yes. the 0.5.0- beta version
[04:02] <slyfox> Jucato: how did you specify the device location ?! What is it ?
[04:02] <slyfox> Jucato: ah beta
[04:02] <Jucato> Current testing version: KMobileTools 0.5.0 beta1
[04:02] <Jucato> that one from the download page you gave
[04:02] <slyfox> Jucato: so Kmobile tools finds your phone and when you click next it finds the services your phone supports ?
[04:03] <Jucato> yes
[04:03] <slyfox> Jucato: Did you install from Debina Kubuntu Dapper ?
[04:03] <Jucato> yes
[04:03] <slyfox> Jucato: do you have kbluetooth running before you can use kmobile tools?
[04:04] <Jucato> no. but of course I have the usb dongle connected
[04:04] <Jucato> Find Services takes a while, but it shows up
[04:05] <abattoir> doesn't kmobiletools now have that bluetooth pairing wizard?
[04:05] <Jucato> not the one in the repos
[04:05] <BluesKaj> Howdy All :)
[04:05] <abattoir> hi BluesKaj :)
[04:05] <Jucato> edgy repos only has 0.4.3.3. the one with the pairing wizard is 0.5.0-beta1
[04:05] <slyfox> Jucato: a while? how long for you ?
[04:05] <BluesKaj> hi abattoir, Jucato
[04:05] <Jucato> hi BluesKaj
[04:06] <Jucato> slyfox: not more than 2 minutes iirc
[04:06] <xsacha> is it legal to connect to someones wireless network and steal their net service if it isnt passworded?
[04:06] <slyfox> Jucato: ok, lets see waht I will get, it is still searching fro services
[04:06] <abattoir> xsacha: in most places it's illegal
[04:06] <BluesKaj> yup xsacha
[04:07] <ubuntu_> hi johny_ & all you guys i return so..
[04:07] <xsacha> is it legal to login to their router and mess with their settings if they are using the default password (eg. smcadmin)
[04:07] <Jucato> not only illegal, but also immoral (stealing)
[04:07] <xsacha> i just checked default password smc networks on google and it's smcadmin and.. yep it works
[04:07] <abattoir> xsacha: that's even more of a crime :)
[04:08] <BluesKaj> yes, xsacha ...do you really think that's ok ?
[04:08] <ubuntu_> i repeat my problem..now i chating from kubuntu live..
[04:08] <BluesKaj> get yer own router , xsacha
[04:08] <xsacha> it's a windows network and they have all these shared docs.. pictures, deposits, university, resumes, world of warcraft, etc
[04:08] <xsacha> is it legal to look through those?
[04:08] <xsacha> i have a router
[04:09] <z0di4k> xsacha: It is actually a very solid grey area.  Rulings have gone both ways lately on legality of "borrowing" internet services.  Lately the trend is towards it being illegal.  Logging in to their router to change stuff is definitely over the legal line.
[04:09] <akrus_> someone to help with compiz?
[04:09] <johny_> ubuntu_: nothing to do do with passwd?
[04:09] <stdin> xsacha: it's illegal to gain access to a computer system without prior permission
[04:09] <slyfox> Jucato: did you right click on the .deb and selecte install ?
[04:09] <z0di4k> arkus_: What are you trying to do?
[04:09] <Jucato> slyfox: yes
[04:09] <xsacha> stdin: doesnt having no password give permission? :(
[04:09] <BluesKaj> well xsacha , if you do this , don't say you haven't been warned !
[04:10] <akrus> z0di4k: actually compiz starts, effects working, but no window decorations at all
[04:10] <akrus> so no title & borders
[04:10] <Jucato> !compiz | akrus
[04:10] <ubotu> akrus: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[04:10] <z0di4k> arkus: Like leaving your door unlocked gives me permission to rummage through your stuff?
[04:10] <abattoir> xsacha: of course not
[04:10] <stdin> xsacha: no, to gain access to a system (passwordless or not) without permission is defined in law as cracking (or, less correctly, hacking)
[04:10] <akrus> ?
[04:10] <ubuntu_> yesterday all works fine.today i start kubuntu but i stay firm in login window so i don't see initializing devices ... & other
[04:10] <Jucato> !offtopic
[04:10] <ubotu> #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks!
[04:11] <Jucato> not only is this discussion offtopic, it's also bordering on very shaky legal matters, so please take it somewhere else
[04:11] <xsacha> but what about if it's not my fault? this software automatically connects to their router instead of mine
[04:11] <xsacha> ok
[04:12] <ubuntu_>  <johny_>:nothing.I'tsnot a pass problem i'ts a
[04:12] <BluesKaj> xsacha, did it ever occur to you, that open network could be a honeypot set up to catch and prosecute ppl who use the network without registering for permission ?
[04:12] <ubuntu_> problem next login
[04:12] <xsacha> nup
[04:13] <ubuntu_> i can login in non graph shell. But kde not start
[04:13] <slyfox> Jucato: crap, it just searches forever
[04:13] <z0di4k> xsacha: I personally don't have major issues with using open access points.  I let people use mine all the time.  Just don't be a retard and run bittorent when using somebody else's access point.  *notice I said personally, not legally.  I have seen cases that go both ways on stealing vs. borrowing internet access.
[04:13] <Jucato> slyfox: :(
[04:13] <johny_> ubuntu_: what's error it is giving you?
[04:14] <BluesKaj> z0di4k, don't encourage him
[04:14] <ubuntu_>  <johny_>:understed?
[04:14] <johny_> ubuntu_: what you mean?
[04:14] <ubuntu_>  <johny_> :No errors
[04:15] <johny_> ubuntu_: you said KDE doesn't start, so what happens when it should start?
[04:16] <ubuntu_> simply login window go i expect initializing window & i see black and next the same login window
 ubuntu_: you said KDE doesn't start, so what happens when it should start?:exactly
[04:17] <johny_> maybe try to run KDE from terminal, know how?
[04:17] <ubuntu_> how can start kde from a shell?
[04:18] <johny_> ubuntu_: w8 a min
[04:18] <ubuntu_> ok :-))

[04:19] <johny_> ubuntu_: try "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm/start
[04:20] <johny_> Can someone help this guy (ubuntu_), I'm new to Linux?
[04:20] <HymnToLife> johny_, that won't start KDE directly but KDM
[04:20] <stdin> johny_: you mean "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start" ? (notice the space)
[04:21] <johny_> HymnToLife: yeah
[04:21] <HymnToLife> ubuntu_, try kdestart
[04:22] <ubuntu_>  <johny_>:ok i try  &hope chat from my home
[04:22] <HymnToLife> that wil start a KDE session without the need to login through KDM - since you're already logged in
[04:22] <johny_> ubuntu_: wait
[04:22] <johny_> ubuntu_: There are others trying to help, watch
you know if from login menu one can chat?
[04:23] <johny_> ubuntu_: I think it's possible from the shell, having an IRC terminal client installed
how?
[04:24] <johny_> ubuntu_: "Hymn to life" said to you - "try kderestart"
[04:24] <oier> hello every1
[04:24] <HymnToLife> ubotu, tell ubuntu_ about irssi | ubuntu_, see the private message from ubotu.
[04:24] <johny_> HymnToLife: thanks
[04:25] <oier> could someone help me
[04:25] <johny_> I'm a beginner so watch me carefully -:)
[04:25] <oier> i can't install an old version of java
[04:26] <oier> i suppose it must be done manually, not through synaptic
[04:26] <oier> i have xtracted the .bin files
[04:27] <ubuntu_> tnx guys you'r beautifull ;-))
[04:27] <oier> and i can get java started if i type ./java in that folder
[04:27] <oier> but the system doesn't know about its existence
[04:28] <Jucato> oier: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[04:28] <Jucato> oier: then select the version of java you want as default
[04:28] <oier> aham
[04:28] <oier> i'll try
[04:30] <cotui> gracia
[04:30] <oier> i found as an alternative to java v.6 the gij-wrapper-4.1  I don't know what it is, but I'll have a look
[04:30] <oier> thx
[04:30] <slyfox> Jucato: http://www.kmobiletools.org/node/285
[04:30] <slyfox> Jucato: that is my problem
[04:30] <Jucato> slyfox: maybe because mine is a nokia...
[04:32] <oier> mmm I'm getting some more errors with this version of java.
[04:33] <oier> do you know how to install a java1.5.00xx.bin extracted file?
[04:34] <Jucato> oier: you have java 1.6 (sun-java6-bin) installed? try removing it, then install java 1.5? (sun-java5-bin)
[04:35] <oier> yeh, i did it as u say
[04:35] <oier> ok i'll do it again
[04:37] <slyfox> Jucato: :) Yeah, Nokia is the best.
[04:38] <slyfox> Jucato: What do you use to organize yourself? I am just curious. As in windows I used online tools - Google Calendar, Rememebr the milk and TiddlyWiki. What do you use in linux? FOr To Do, Calednar and notes ?
[04:38] <Jucato> slyfox: Kontact/Korganizer... but I don't sync w/ my phone
[04:38] <Jucato> I rarely go out/away anyway
[04:42] <oier> ok I uninstalled it and now when I type sudo update-alternatives --config java it says there is no java
[04:44] <oier> I have also extracted the files from the java1.5.00xxx.bin file
[04:45] <oier> but the system ignores this info,
[04:48] <genii> phprojekt is good . I use it for extensive organising
[04:48] <johny_> ubuntu_: still there?
[04:49] <oier> how could I install other way java 1.5?
[04:49] <vyoman> oier: you can download the JDK from SUN and follow the install instructions, don't forget to set JAVA_HOME
[04:50] <vyoman> oier:  alternatively you can use APT and set the default VM as described above
[04:50] <johny_> ubuntu_: try to go on thi channel #kde
[04:52] <jackson> does anybody what plugins do i need for to play 'ape' music files? cheers
[04:55] <ForgeAus> hey all
[04:55] <slyfox> what is the commend to change my name in irc ?
[04:56] <genii> slyfox /nick newname
[04:56] <slyfox> Thanks
[04:56] <jackson> to play 'ape' files what plugin would i need? thx
[04:56] <ForgeAus> !pcsx2
[04:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pcsx2 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:56] <ForgeAus> !pcsx
[04:56] <ubotu> pcsx: Sony PlayStation emulator. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.699df-rc3-1 (edgy), package size 8 kB, installed size 40 kB
[04:57] <HymnToLife> ubotu, tell jackson about repeat | jackson, see the private message from ubotu.
[04:57] <ForgeAus> has anyone tried to build PCSX2 in Kubuntu?
[04:57] <jackson> thanx
[05:00] <genii> Nope, but mame runs fine :)
[05:02] <ForgeAus> hehe genii I can use mame
[05:02] <ForgeAus> but I have a PCSX2 .iso I want to try
[05:02] <ForgeAus> sorry PS2 .iso I want to try in PCSX2
[05:02] <ForgeAus> but I can't seem to install it
[05:02] <ForgeAus> because I don't know all this technical stuff about building programs
[05:02] <genii> Ah, no help then
[05:03] <ForgeAus> strangely enough PCSX is no problem its even in ubuntu repositories
[05:03] <ForgeAus> I'm sure if I already had a binary it'd work ok! its just getting the binary out of it!
[05:04] <ForgeAus> btw Mame is awesome
[05:04] <genii> Yeah it's an oldie but goodie
[05:04] <ForgeAus> but theres a few things I'd like to try in other emulators that make doesn't/cant do
[05:04] <ForgeAus> like 1 : sega saturns fighters megamix
[05:04] <ForgeAus> and 2 : Capcom vs SNK2 (PS2 or Arcade)
[05:05] <Dr_willis> i always hated those kind of games...
[05:05] <ForgeAus> hehe I love vs fighting games but then everyone's different
[05:05] <Dr_willis> FrozenBubble Rules..
[05:05] <Dr_willis> :)
[05:05] <ForgeAus> frozen bubble is quite good actually I tried it!
[05:05] <ForgeAus> I was impressed!
[05:05] <Dr_willis> Fizzball is fun. but its comercial.
[05:06] <ForgeAus> sure its no puzzle bubble but its the next best thing I seen out there
[05:06] <Dr_willis> Of course ya can always go the emulator route. and have oooooodles of games.
[05:06] <ForgeAus> (interestingly enough I actually prefer puxxle bobble 3 arcade or puzzle bobble/bust-a-move on SNES!)
[05:06] <ForgeAus> I already do have most capcom/neogeo games
[05:06] <ForgeAus> beacuse I actually use/play them!
[05:07] <Dr_willis> Yea - i got a large collection of games.. that i never play
[05:07] <Dr_willis> :)
[05:07] <h3sp4wn> I play metalslug
[05:13] <ForgeAus> anything capcom and street fighter 2 -related I've had a go at
[05:13] <ForgeAus> (except the latest Capcom fighting jam sofar)
[05:13] <ForgeAus> I suck at all things sf3 too unfortunately...
[05:13] <ForgeAus> looking to get that emulated on PC too (from either PCSX2 or if a CPS3 emulator comes out)
[05:13] <ForgeAus> I doubt I'll ever be good at that game tho
[05:13] <ForgeAus> just doesn't seem to mesh with me very well like the alpha games do... or vs ones
[05:14] <genii> There used to be this macos game I played for hours on end... lemmings   it was freaking hypnotic
[05:15] <Dr_willis> Lemmings is out for many other os/machines
[05:16] <Dr_willis> go get the Amiga emulator and the amiga version.
[05:16] <testman> hi folks
[05:16] <Dr_willis> or dosbox and track down some dos versions. :)
[05:16] <testman> how can i adjust the autostart settings when a audio cd is put into the cdrom?
[05:16] <genii> heh :) tempting but I'll sit for hours and not get any work done
[05:19] <Dr_willis> genii,  the reason computers were invented
[05:19] <Dr_willis> testman,  adjust what settings exactly?
[05:21] <testman> Dr_willis: you know, the menu that pops up when you put in a cd? i dont get this anymore because i clicked the 'do this everytime'-checkbox, but now i want that popup back
[05:21] <Dr_willis> I cant rember the last time i ever put in an audio cd... other then to Rip it to MP3.
[05:22] <h3sp4wn> ForgeAus: The only good one is streetfighter 2 turbo (jap)
[05:22] <Dr_willis> ive seen some checkbox/auto-start settings somewhere...
[05:22] <h3sp4wn> ForgeAus: (unless there is another one with a decent difficulty level I don't know about)
[05:22] <testman> Dr_willis: i searched the whole kcontrol config menus etc but with no luck
[05:22] <Dr_willis> I belive they may be Konqueror settings.
[05:24] <pixelation> Is there a good kde program for finding duplicate or near-duplicate mp3's?
[05:24] <Dr_willis> Ive seen some programs that can find Duplicate... but neer near-duplicate. :)
[05:25] <Dr_willis> never.
[05:25] <Dr_willis> that would be a nifty trick.
[05:25] <BluesKaj> pixelation, amule
[05:25] <pixelation> there used to be windows shareware that did that, it was awesome, you could speicify 70% match, or whatever.
[05:25] <pixelation> thanks BuesKaj
[05:25] <Dr_willis> but which one to keep.. :)
[05:26] <BluesKaj> some of the same mp3s have been renamed but one can see by the similar ize
[05:26] <Dr_willis> it would suck if it kept the one with 30% static in the middle.
[05:26] <BluesKaj> size
[05:26] <pixelation> it even put the best quality one on top, so just delete the ones below it... told ya it was good... hrm, maybe wine.
[05:26] <h3sp4wn> bigger is not always best quality
[05:27] <Dr_willis> the tools people need when they collect 10000000gb of mp3's :)
[05:27] <pixelation> yeah but it is a factor in near-duplicates.
[05:27] <pixelation> lol
[05:27] <pixelation> I'm a neat freak.
[05:28] <BluesKaj> nope , not always but if you look at the details, the bit rate is usually indicated
[05:29] <Raffy> we
[05:29] <daniellq> alguna girl
[05:29] <BluesKaj> I don't understand this wine thing...if ya wanna run windows programs use windows :)
[05:30] <ForgeAus> that depends on the app
[05:30] <ForgeAus> some run fine under wine
[05:30] <ForgeAus> but yeah windows apps I'd recommend to use windows if you have it
[05:30] <pixelation> I love wine personally, and you know it's only gunna get better.
[05:30] <Dr_willis> actually the last wine i used... dident run the programs that the OLDER wine used to run...
[05:31] <BluesKaj> depends on the vintage :)
[05:31] <Dr_willis> but that may of been just a fluke
[05:31] <pixelation> but, I don't have windows.
[05:31] <ForgeAus> yup pixel can't wait for better win2k infrastructure in it
[05:31] <ForgeAus> if they go that way
[05:31] <ForgeAus> (or even a XP-like 98 subsystem
[05:31] <pixelation> yeah. I just want my software to run on it. :-P
[05:31] <ForgeAus> exactly
[05:32] <BluesKaj> what's word on Vista written programs in wine ?
[05:32] <ForgeAus> BluesKaj, I wouldn't even think about it
[05:32] <BluesKaj> hehe
[05:32] <ForgeAus> way to early to consider something like that
[05:32] <pixelation> they say it's safe to run regseeker... not anymore... it deleted my fonts and made everything unreadable.
[05:32] <ForgeAus> some may work anyway... but I wouldn't EXPECT any to
[05:32] <ForgeAus> regseeker?
[05:33] <pixelation> yeah... but... I probably shouldn't try and clean it or anything, cause it's not windows.
[05:33] <BluesKaj> what's the best place to put the *.exe folders in wine ?
[05:33] <genii> We need some virtual windoze machine to run installers and so on in and just reverse engineer what calls the dlls make and so on
[05:33] <nihil_sum> Is there a good Linux IDE for SQL, perhaps similar to Query Analyzer or SQL Management Studio on Windows?
[05:34] <ForgeAus> I wonder if theres a way to combine cedega and cxoffice and wine into one rather than 3 windows subsystems!
[05:34] <nihil_sum> Don't forget mono.
[05:34] <ForgeAus> mono is awesome
[05:34] <cntb> intelikey ?
[05:34] <ForgeAus> (but monodevelop needs some more work for winforms
[05:34] <ForgeAus> you can add it but no documentation/designer
[05:35] <h3sp4wn> No use for mono by me
[05:35] <cntb> migrating issue mkinitramfs anyone familiar with that ?
[05:35] <pixelation> I was watching cartoon network last night, and they showed a paragraph, I just caught the last sentence and it was "like the windoze kids" lol
[05:35] <h3sp4wn> (too slow)
[05:35] <ForgeAus> winforms and boo should be awesome
[05:35] <h3sp4wn> cntb: migrating from what to what ?
[05:35] <BluesKaj> what' mono , another Virtual type prog
[05:35] <BluesKaj> ?
[05:35] <ForgeAus> no
[05:35] <h3sp4wn> Microsofts .NET basically for linux I want nothing to do with it
[05:35] <ForgeAus> mono is a linux impementation of  .NET framework
[05:35] <cntb> h3sp4wn: hardware migrating
[05:35] <BluesKaj> viryual oS rather
[05:36] <BluesKaj> oh
[05:36] <h3sp4wn> cntb: How does that involve mkinitramfs ?
[05:36] <hatta> and .net is microsofts implementation of ???
[05:36] <cntb> h3sp4wn: from sda (sata ) to hda (PATA)
[05:36] <nihil_sum> Microsoft's own standard.
[05:36] <ForgeAus> theres another one of them from gnu (portable .NET)
[05:36] <cntb> that is edgy with wondows (dual booted h3sp4wn
[05:36] <h3sp4wn> cntb: using uuid's and default ubuntu kernel ?
[05:36] <hatta> I've never heard a good answer to the question "what is .net and why do I want it"
[05:37] <ForgeAus> .net is microsofts implementation of a common language runtime...
[05:37] <cntb> boot stops at busy box
[05:37] <ForgeAus> almost like a virtual machine in some ways tho
[05:37] <cntb> (initramfs) prompt h3sp4wn. know what todo in that case ?
[05:37] <Alzi2> Hey. I was just wondering, what is the option of 'be like macintosh' in KDE like? I don't want to ruin my current interface, so i can't try out. I'll maybe do it, if anyone tells me what it's like, please.
[05:37] <h3sp4wn> did you edit the boot line to change it to hda ?
[05:37] <cntb> kernel is generic
[05:37] <genii> The uuids in fstab cause headaches when you have to do a grub reinstall
[05:37] <Dr_willis> how about - 'why did this program install .net 1.1 and then this other program wanted 2.2 ?'
[05:37] <Dr_willis> genii,  :) heh heh
[05:38] <ForgeAus> lol Dr Willis thats the problem
[05:38] <cntb> h3sp4wn: i have handy knoppix 4 and ubuntuboootable alternateCd install
[05:38] <h3sp4wn> genii: why ? grub uses hd0 type syntax
[05:38] <ForgeAus> they don't stick with it, they keep making extras that blow out the economy of a single framework
[05:38] <Dr_willis> 'why does this 6k program need 20mb of runtime stuff...'
[05:38] <cntb> h3sp4wn: pls explainq. using UUIDs ? in boot
[05:38] <ForgeAus> Dr willis exactly (thats kinda the point I was trying to get at)
[05:38] <Dr_willis> and WHAT IDIOT decided on the name .net ?
[05:38] <Dr_willis> that has to be the Worse name i can think of.
[05:39] <ForgeAus> lol
[05:39] <Dr_willis> I guess .PORN would be worse...
[05:39] <ForgeAus> or .SEX
[05:39] <Dr_willis> almost as bad as C#
[05:39] <ForgeAus> but I didn't say that
[05:39] <Dr_willis> just the idea of having a . in the name....
[05:39] <cntb> oh and I played editinf fstab changing sda7 to hda7 any utility to auot change sda to hda h3sp4wn ?
[05:39] <genii> h3sp4wn: I don't know why. But I helped 4 ppl with same issue. grub had to get reinstalled then it couldn't mount / til the uuid stuff in fstab got removed.
[05:39] <ForgeAus> (probably an acronym anyway lol)
[05:39] <h3sp4wn> cntb: /etc/fstab should contain uuid's either that or :%s,sda,hda,g
[05:39] <nihil_sum> It's not why does this 6kb program need 20mb of runtime, it's this 15mb program is only 6kb because it's all in the runtime.
[05:40] <ForgeAus> h3sp4wn does it HAVE to?
[05:40] <Dr_willis> then the installer keeps reinstalling. :)
[05:40] <genii> Dr_willis: I have to agree about C#
[05:40] <ForgeAus> I removed some of them when my fstab went a bit awry
[05:40] <ForgeAus> seems to work ok now
[05:40] <h3sp4wn> genii: ForgeAus Does what have to ?
[05:40] <ForgeAus> Drwillis under wine there is a way
[05:40] <cntb>  -- /etc/fstab has lots of UUID
[05:40] <Dr_willis> but what do i know... i rarely program.. im just always having to do tech support for these other idiots... :)
[05:40] <ForgeAus> (I think you need to use native msi or something and a few other tweaks but it CAN work)
[05:40] <Dr_willis> I edit my fstab to mount the drives based on LABEL. :)
[05:41] <ForgeAus> (then ontop of that there was a .NET bridge for mono)
[05:41] <h3sp4wn> That is alot more reasonable than uuid
[05:41] <ForgeAus> h3sp4wn fstab, does it have to have uuids?
[05:41] <nihil_sum> So anyway...  Is there a good (preferrably free)Linux SQL Server IDE out there comparable to Query Analyzer or SQL Management Studio?
[05:41] <ForgeAus> MySql?
[05:42] <ForgeAus> I dunno much about it tho
[05:42] <h3sp4wn> ForgeAus: Doesn't have to but the whole reason for having them is so if you change from hda to sda you don't need to change it
[05:42] <ForgeAus> theres also Postgres SQL
[05:42] <nihil_sum> I'm constrained to use Microsoft SQL Server 2005 unfortunately.
[05:42] <ForgeAus> whatever happened to PL/SQL?
[05:42] <nihil_sum> I just want a good development environment for it.
[05:42] <kkathman> PL/SQL = Oracle
[05:42] <ForgeAus> nihil just use kexi and connect to the SQL database!
[05:42] <ForgeAus> I think that works
[05:43] <nihil_sum> Kexi....  thanks.  I'll get that.
[05:43] <cntb> h3sp4wn:  in starting up an alert /dev/sda7 does not exist. droping to a shell "" is issued
[05:43] <ForgeAus> Kexi is part of Koffice
[05:43] <ForgeAus> (if I have the right app name)
[05:43] <anbuku> test
[05:43] <h3sp4wn> cntb: because you didn't edit the bootline to /dev/hda7
[05:43] <cntb> who is responsible ? h3sp4wn? initrd ?
[05:43] <Alzi2> anyone? Where can i find the Desktop Configuration Wizard that you get on first-time boot of KDE?
[05:43] <h3sp4wn> cntb: use e to the edit the bootline in grub
[05:43] <Dr_willis> Feisty Fawn - will cause SOOO much  "FUN" when it gets out...  it likes to use /dev/sd## for all the ide drives. :)
[05:44] <cntb> h3sp4wn:  e in grub?
[05:44] <h3sp4wn> cntb: that is how you edit the bootline
[05:44] <ForgeAus> oops
[05:44] <cntb> how do i switch to manual grub h3sp4wn??>
[05:44] <ForgeAus> kexi doesn't do SQL??
[05:44] <ForgeAus> it seems... does MDB's
[05:44] <h3sp4wn> cntb: I have just told you
[05:44] <nihil_sum> Doh.
[05:44] <ForgeAus> hmmm
[05:45] <cntb> e on boot time ? h3sp4wn? enough?
[05:45] <h3sp4wn> when you can choose what kernel you want to boot (maybe you have to press escape)
[05:45] <ForgeAus> ahh yes you can connect to a MySQL server with it if you make a blank db
[05:45] <ForgeAus> but I can't find MS SQL server under there
[05:45] <ForgeAus> might have plugins
[05:45] <h3sp4wn> type e and change the sda in that line to hda
[05:45] <ForgeAus> check it out
[05:45] <nihil_sum> The core functionality I'm looking for is syntax highlighting, F5 execution with results coming up in a grid or formatted text, and the capability to graphically browse tables/views/users/stored procedures.
[05:46] <cntb> OK h3sp4wn good
[05:46] <h3sp4wn> then after that is done edit the kopts line in /boot/grub/menu.lst and change it to hda also
[05:46] <ForgeAus> nihil I don't think kexi has all that
[05:46] <h3sp4wn> then run update-grub
[05:46] <nihil_sum> I wonder if I can get the Microsoft stuff to run in wine.
[05:46] <cntb> e shows me second line kernel containing wrong sda7 that was on previous system
[05:46] <ForgeAus> plus even if it did it'd just import stuff from the remote server rather than be an SQL server of its own
[05:46] <ForgeAus> (possibly has built in SQL like access tho)
[05:46] <h3sp4wn> so you change it e is to edit
[05:47] <cntb> h3sp4wn: do I edit it to be saved? and where is it saved ?
[05:47] <cntb> ty
[05:47] <nihil_sum> I have the server.  I don't need a server.  Just a client.
[05:47] <ForgeAus> ts worth a try, sqlserver (or MDSE might work)
[05:47] <genii> !info ggobi
[05:47] <ubotu> ggobi: Data visualization system for high-dimensional data. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.2-1 (edgy), package size 4887 kB, installed size 8260 kB
[05:47] <h3sp4wn> I have already told you how to change it permanently see 16:46
[05:47] <ForgeAus> genii?
[05:47] <nihil_sum> Sweet.
[05:48] <genii> ForgeAus yes?
[05:48] <cntb> h3sp4wn: that will be my first time editing grub command it is long do I write it on paper and copy  ?
[05:48] <cntb> some easy way h3sp4wn ?
[05:48] <dmial> hello! can You tell me, how I can decide problem with "fast starting" mozilla Firefox in Kubuntu (like it decided in windoze)? I think, I will load firefox as daemon at system start, it's right?
[05:48] <h3sp4wn> cntb: you just scroll with the arrow keys - there is no easier way
[05:49] <jhutchins_wk> Because an MSSQL database server is an SQL server, you can use any SQL front end with it.
[05:49] <jhutchins_wk> OOffice has one.
[05:49] <jhutchins_wk> There are others.
[05:50] <Alzi2> How to reset my panels to what they once were when i first installed KDE?
[05:51] <ForgeAus> ahh yes ooffice why didnt I think of that?
[05:51] <BluesKaj> the only thing I miss about windows is nero vision...it's still the best vdeo transcoder in my experience ...tovis does well, but isn't quite there yet ,.
[05:51] <BluesKaj> tovid
[05:51] <ForgeAus> you can get nero for linux
[05:51] <ForgeAus> prolly has nerovision in it
[05:51] <BluesKaj> yeah , but not nerovision
[05:52] <BluesKaj> I already tried it
[05:52] <dmial> Hi, people, what with firefox loading? help :-)
[05:52] <ForgeAus> yup openoffice is good (still don't see MS SQL server there... but has lots of options - ODBC might do it)
[05:52] <dmial> anybody using firefox in kubuntu?
[05:53] <ForgeAus> dmial lots of people most likely
[05:53] <ForgeAus> myself included
[05:53] <genii> dmial http://www.kde-forum.org/archive/15835/thread.html
[05:54] <ForgeAus> mono probably has ADO.NET components too
[05:54] <johey> My default gentoo package server (du.se) has turned *very* slow. Where can I find a list of other (preferrably Swedish) servers?
[05:55] <Alzi2> How to reset my panels to what they once were when i first installed KDE?
[05:55] <ForgeAus> um alzi you could reinstall!
[05:55] <ForgeAus> or manually reconfigure them
[05:56] <ForgeAus> I'm not sure that you can reset them
[05:57] <genii> Whoah just got from ubuntuforums:
[05:57] <genii> *** ATTENTION MAINTENANCE ***
[05:57] <genii> The Ubuntu Forums are currently offline while we add another CPU to our database server. We apologize and will return shortly.
[05:57] <genii> Thanks, Ubuntu-geek
[05:57] <Alzi2> How to reset my panels to what they once were when i first installed KDE?
[05:57] <jetsaredim> just installed kubuntu feisty test 3...  why are there some packages greyed out in the package manager
[05:58] <chavo> Alzi2, try moving or deleting ~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc
[05:58] <dmial> genii thanks, but I want to load firefox on start in "hided" mode< without window opening (like in offtopic os)
[05:58] <Alzi2> thanks :)
[05:58] <chx> hi. i can't get images to print. KJobViewer says Processing.... the print led blinks, blinks forever, the printer job size is only 121 kbytes. LaserJet 6MP, with Foomatic/Postscript driver. Text printing works just fine. Oh, and Acrobat also prints fine...
[05:59] <chavo> jetsaredim, is it Adept, or Add/Remove programs?
[05:59] <jetsaredim> chavo: add/remove
[05:59] <ForgeAus> add/remove is also adept...
[05:59] <caris_mere> any have experience setting up a webcam?
[06:00] <ForgeAus> just a different "mode"/part of the adept "suite"
[06:00] <chavo> yeah, with some packages greyed out
[06:00] <ForgeAus> but why are they greyed out?
[06:00] <ForgeAus> I'd also like to know
[06:00] <chavo> not sure exactly I don't use adept anyway
[06:01] <chavo> I think add/remove is supposed to be simpler, not showin libraries and such
[06:01] <Alumin> chavo: what are some of the grayed-out packages?
[06:01] <genii> dmial: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase/faq/panel.html#id2552715
[06:02] <ForgeAus> Jets if you know the name of the package you can probably install it in adept using the main package manager to run it... it hasn't got the eyecandy of the add/remove view but it has searching and stuff...
[06:02] <Alumin> maybe the grayed-out ones are the ones you already have installed?
[06:02] <jetsaredim> yea was looking for the new ldevelop package
[06:02] <STEFBOY`brb> Anybody knows how may I run remote Desktop(VNC) on my Linux????
[06:02] <jetsaredim> are there other repos that I should be adding?
[06:02] <ForgeAus> yeah Alimin but then the "main" adept installer itself is simple enough... as long as you backstep if it tels you its going to BREAK something..
[06:03] <STEFBOY`brb> I`d like to make connection between WinXP and Kubuntu..
[06:03] <ForgeAus> STEFBOY`brb, just download the packages for it
[06:03] <jetsaredim> I'm thinking about switching from gentoo and I really wanting the latest and greatest versions of packages
[06:03] <STEFBOY`brb> I couldn`t find
[06:03] <ForgeAus> there is a Terminal Services client
[06:03] <chavo> STEFBOY`brb, run krdc
[06:03] <STEFBOY`brb> I`d like to run a VNC server on Linux
[06:03] <STEFBOY`brb> yeah but my client is windows based
[06:04] <STEFBOY`brb> i found that work only for Linux-Linux machines
[06:04] <genii> STEFBOY`brb:  VNC doesn't care what platforms you have at either end
[06:05] <STEFBOY`brb> but you have to run a application on Win
[06:05] <STEFBOY`brb> I use it ot both WinXP machines
[06:05] <STEFBOY`brb> and it worked fine
[06:05] <STEFBOY`brb> now I changed one of the machines to Kubuntu
[06:05] <ForgeAus> there is a terminal services client for linux
[06:05] <STEFBOY`brb> and I`d like to run a VNC server there
[06:05] <STEFBOY`brb> any link ?
[06:05] <jhutchins_wk> STEFBOY`brb: XP runs rdesktop natively, there are clients that can access it.
[06:06] <jetsaredim> also - where do I get the codecs and such to play dvds
[06:06] <Dr_willis> theres a  lot of vnc specifics and variants to choose from.
[06:06] <Dr_willis> !dvd
[06:06] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[06:06] <Dr_willis> dvd's dont use codecs..  they need the dvdcss stuff. :)
[06:06] <Dr_willis> well i guess that counts as a codec? sort of? not really...
[06:06] <jhutchins_wk> Dr_willis: 'course not all of them are css encrypted.
[06:06] <genii> STEFBOY`brb: Just install the package vncserver
[06:07] <ubuntu_>  <johny_>:i return still now from out. thanks i give a try on #kde
[06:07] <Dr_willis> jhutchins_wk,  ive got a collection of..  well i wont say... thats not encrypted.     :)
[06:07] <ForgeAus> STEF its in the repostitories somewhere
[06:07] <ForgeAus> (possibly under universe or multiverse)
[06:07] <STEFBOY`brb> thanks
[06:07] <STEFBOY`brb> I don`t have access to my server to do it now
[06:08] <STEFBOY`brb> but I`ll have it in mind
[06:08] <STEFBOY`brb> :))

[06:09] <STEFBOY> nice service you have here
[06:10] <jhutchins_wk> Speaking of ubotu, somebody needs to update the KDE info an clean up the old stuff.  I think there's at least one link that still reports 3.5.4 as the latest.
[06:10] <ForgeAus> someone should make a kubntuflash! (LiveCD-like kubntu distro from ubuntu minimal with some KDE stuff, personally I'd go sans bluetooth... whatever packages you can get away with that fit on a 256k stick)
[06:11] <ForgeAus> grr 256MB stick sorry
[06:11] <jhutchins_wk> ForgeAus: I thought there already was one?  Mandriva has one.
[06:11] <ForgeAus> there are several flash-linuxes but I havn't come across kubuntu's yet if it has one
[06:12] <ForgeAus> (or ubuntu's) theres instructions how to make one
[06:13] <barb> Unable to load the requested driver:
[06:13] <barb> Unable to create the Foomatic driver [HP-PSC_750,gutenprint] . Either that driver does not exist, or you don't have the required permissions to perform that operation.
[06:13] <Dr_willis> fire up the package manager and install the extra cups drivers  perhaps
[06:13] <barb> is the driver database broken ?
[06:13] <ForgeAus> barb try running the application as the superuser
[06:14] <barb> ForgeAus: yeah
[06:14] <barb> Dr_willis: what 'extra cups drivers' ?
[06:14] <ForgeAus> if its gui use kdesu or if its console use sudo before the commandline and run it t hat way... (will ask you for root password)
[06:15] <barb> ForgeAus: i clicked admin mode
[06:15] <jhutchins_wk> Oh, that stuff's a mess.
[06:15] <ForgeAus> hmmm ok then either something missing or linux is looking in the wrong place?
[06:15] <jhutchins_wk> barb: Try doing it from cups.
[06:15] <barb> jhutchins_wk: ?
[06:15] <Gala> !paste
[06:15] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[06:15] <Dr_willis> barb,  for some printers i had.. thee was some extra cups drivers packages not installed by default i recall installing a year or so ago.
[06:16] <jhutchins_wk> localhost:631 will give you the cups management app.

[06:16] <jhutchins_wk> barb: the kubuntu printer config utilities has horrible problems with permission errors and such.  I've had to bypass it to get anything working.
[06:17] <Dr_willis> I recall having to install some hpoj service also for mine.. i got a 1200v all in 1.. but aint used it in ages..
[06:17] <barb> jhutchins_wk: ok trying now.
[06:17] <igorv2> hi
[06:17] <BluesKaj> bah humbug, eye candy that looks good but does nothing else except slow things down :)
[06:18] <Dr_willis> we need a Console/Text based Front end! :)
[06:18] <Dr_willis> then play the videos with that AALIB stuff in full ascii-animation goodness
[06:19] <BluesKaj> I tried beryl, it's like barbie and ken dolls ,nice to look at but useless otherwide :)\
[06:19] <jetsaredim> ok - totally not getting this
[06:19] <BluesKaj> otherwise
[06:19] <jetsaredim> I thought that feisty was supposed to have all the non-open stuff in it already
[06:19] <Dr_willis> BluesKaj,  looks good... but then you reaize the 'good bits' are missing.
[06:20] <Dr_willis> jetsaredim,  i thought it had some scripts to install some of it..
[06:20] <BluesKaj> yeah  Dr_willis, there is a definite wow factor , but it wears pretty thin very quickly
[06:20] <jhutchins_wk> Possibly the third-party repos like PLF haven't bothered to start porting stuff to feisty while edgy is still unstable.
[06:21] <barb> what's the differance in  localhost:631  and  print:/  in konqueror ?
[06:23] <h3sp4wn> jetsaredim: It would never have w32codecs for example
[06:23] <jetsaredim> so where do I get those things??
[06:23] <jetsaredim> like dvd playback and such thing
[06:23] <jhutchins_wk> barb: print:/ is using the kde stuff, localhost:631 should be using the cups html interface.

[06:23] <h3sp4wn> jetsaredim: legally the only place is from a copy of windows you own
[06:24] <barb> jhutchins_wk: what's the location of a usb printer ?
[06:24] <jhutchins_wk> jetsaredim: I would say go with the dapper/edgy procedures and experiment with substituting feisty.
[06:24] <Jaxx> hey all
[06:24] <Gala> guys but in Linux Kubuntu... can I Install game... World of Warcraft for example?
[06:25] <jhutchins_wk> barb: Dunno, let me see if I can figure it out.
[06:25] <jackson> does any know a way i can configure ktorrent to be the default client for torrent files? thx
[06:25] <Dr_willis> Gala,  to run windows software/games like that you will want to use wine, or cedega to run them
[06:25] <Dr_willis> Gala,  and DONT expect it to work flawlessly... :)
[06:25] <Gala> lol understood...
[06:25] <barb> lsusb
[06:25] <barb> Bus 001 Device 002: ID 03f0:1411 Hewlett-Packard
[06:25] <barb> does that help ?
[06:25] <Dr_willis> Gala,  if you are really hard core about it - i advise paying for the CEDEGA stuff.. its only like $5 a mo.
[06:26] <chavo> wow is supposed to work with wine
[06:26] <Dr_willis> supposed to. :)
[06:26] <Gala> :D
[06:26] <chavo> never tried it myself
[06:26] <Jaxx> Gala i tried world of warcraft in linux
[06:26] <Dr_willis> from what i noticed last i tried wow+cedega - every new update to WOW broke somthing.. then cedega had to have a update soon afterwards
[06:26] <Gala> work?
[06:26] <Jaxx> Gala try with wine it works perfectly
[06:26] <Jaxx> yup
[06:26] <Jaxx> http://www.winehq.org/
[06:27] <Gala> thx u
[06:27] <Jaxx> wine can emulate the game very well
[06:27] <barb> anyone know what to enter in the "location" field of cups add printer ?
[06:27] <chavo> you can apt-get install wine also
[06:27] <h3sp4wn> apparantly cross over office also supports wow (and when they say something is supported it is of higher quality than cedega)
[06:27] <Dr_willis> the use of 'wine' and 'works perfectly' --  in the same sentance.. :) *shudder*
[06:27] <Gala> ok i use apt get so
[06:27] <Jaxx> gala yes... chavo is right
[06:27] <Dr_willis> of course i do recall a 'rumor' that the WOW guys considered using Cedega/wine to be 'cheating' :)
[06:28] <Dr_willis> but i was never able to find any other information on that
[06:28] <arditxo> hi, anyone knows where to set the JAVA_HOME and PLUGIN_HOME variables?
[06:28] <Jaxx> :)
[06:28] <Gala> lol
[06:28] <Dr_willis> arditxo,  why do you need to set them?
[06:28] <jhutchins_wk> barb: usb:/dev/device#
[06:28] <jhutchins_wk> barb you can find that in console using lsusb
[06:28] <arditxo> because I'm still trying to configure my java1.5 installation
[06:29] <barb> scroll up
[06:29] <Dr_willis> arditxo,  how did you install it? ive never had to manually set those things to get java working
[06:29] <arditxo> I executed the java1.5xxx.bin file
[06:29] <Dr_willis> !java
[06:29] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[06:29] <Dr_willis> you can just apt-get install java now a days
[06:29] <Dr_willis> unless thers somthing special ya need...
[06:29] <cntb> was on TV with family back to ubuntu now
[06:29] <Gala> downloading wine
[06:30] <cntb> h3sp4wn:  ?
[06:30] <Dr_willis> *hic*
[06:30] <arditxo> yah I've already read those steps
[06:30] <jhutchins_wk> barb: Getting anywhere?
[06:30] <arditxo> but I cannot get it working
[06:30] <jhutchins_wk> barb: http://uw714doc.sco.com/en/PR_admin/cups-start.html
[06:30] <barb> maybe.   is usb:/dev/002  right for the location ?
[06:30] <jhutchins_wk> barb: Unfortunately, their link to "Printing:USB Support" is broken.
[06:31] <jhutchins_wk> barb: Should be.
[06:31] <barb> ok
[06:31] <Igor_V2> hi
[06:31] <Gala> guys for the resolution... i need to download driver of ati or reconfigure xorg.conf?
[06:32] <arditxo> yeh I see, but I specifically need the 1.5 version, not the latest one (1.6)
[06:32] <slyfox> Need help - when I choose seesion type and Console - the only thing I get is a black screen. I tried to press cntrl+alt+F1 and nothing happens. I also tried this from my normal session: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop   and I again get a balck screen, cntrl+alt+F1 does nothing. The only thing that works on that balck screen is CTRL+ALT+Delete to estart my laptop. That is it. Help.
[06:32] <Jaxx> any romanians in here?
[06:32] <Dr_willis> !find java
[06:32] <ubotu> Found: gcj, gcj-4.1, gij, gij-4.1, java-common (and 248 others)
[06:32] <arditxo> and so, using the sources I can only get the 1.6
[06:32] <Dr_willis> arditxo,  last i looked there was 2 packatges one for 1.5 one for 1.6
[06:32] <cntb> !find migrate
[06:33] <Gala> what do u say about?
[06:33] <barb> ooops   "you need to supply a username and passwd too access this site 'cups at locaalhost'"  ?
[06:33] <ubotu> File migrate found in xen-utils-3.0
[06:33] <barb> what's that asking for ?
[06:33] <Dr_willis> sun-j2re1.5 - Java(TM) 2 RE, Standard Edition, Sun Microsystems(TM)
[06:34] <barb> jhutchins_wk: what's that asking for ?
[06:34] <arditxo> well I have already looked it in my synaptic
[06:34] <Dr_willis> you did enable all the extra repositories?
[06:34] <arditxo> and I only get the 1.6 , what am I doing wrong
[06:34] <jhutchins_wk> !cups
[06:34] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[06:35] <jhutchins_wk> barb: Shoot, I don't remember that.
[06:35] <Dr_willis> ive gotten so many extra things in the repos... i dont know what im getting from where.
[06:35] <jhutchins_wk> barb: It's in the ubuntu docs though, on one of the sites.
[06:35] <sbee> hi anyone can help me.. my pc hang after i type dpkg --configure -a
[06:36] <arditxo> :)
[06:36] <barb>  don't know what user name it's asking for ?
[06:36] <Gala> guys i've apt-get install wine ... now how can i do ?
[06:36] <cntb> OK stopped and edited on boot grub commands. where do I save new commands?
[06:37] <sean_> Hi all - quick question, whats the most popular IRC client ? Currently using Konversation (only installed Linux 2 days ago..), seems to do the job ok, just wondered if I was missing out on anything cool and spangly :P
[06:37] <h3sp4wn> sean_: irssi
[06:37] <jhutchins_wk> barb: I don't remember myself, I think you may need to set it up.  This is part of why the kde interface doesn't work for setting up printers.
[06:37] <sean_> h3sp4wn: I'll take a look @ that thanks.
[06:37] <cntb> nope sean_
[06:38] <sbee> :(
[06:38] <BluesKaj> hehe, he wants eye candy h3sp4wn :)
[06:38] <cntb> irssi ok xchat OK sean_
[06:38] <arditxo> one more question: why do I need to type "./" in order to execute the java file?
[06:38] <sean_> :)
[06:38] <h3sp4wn> BluesKaj: He said what is the most used
[06:38] <sean_> irssi - is that console based ? :P
[06:38] <cntb> gaim is a nice idea too
[06:38] <HymnToLife> arditxo, because it is not in your $PATH
[06:38] <jhutchins_wk> barb: Sorry, no help in the bot links.
[06:38] <arditxo> (javapath/  ./java)
[06:38] <BluesKaj> irssi is a terminal program
[06:38] <sean_> lol
[06:38] <cntb> GAIM  = all IM in one
[06:38] <barb> ok thanks jhutchins_wk
[06:38] <arditxo> aham
[06:39] <sean_> ahh I heard about GAIM also
[06:39] <Gala> !wine
[06:39] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:39] <HymnToLife> cntb, Kopete = same thing but with a K in it :p
[06:39] <HymnToLife> and it's gaim or Gaim, _not_ GAIM
[06:39] <jhutchins_wk> barb: this may help
[06:39] <sean_> I dont really wanna terminal program tbh..... if I had an IBM PS\2 with a tiny hard drive it would make sense :P
[06:39] <cntb> sean_ HymnToLife right kopete is the kde answer to GAim
[06:40] <jhutchins_wk> barb sorry, this: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/13/enabling-cupsys-web-admin-interface/
[06:40] <BluesKaj> h3sp4wn, somehow i doubt irssi is the most used , even in linux
[06:40] <barb> looking
[06:40] <cntb> so sean_ konversation kopete xchat gaim irssi
[06:40] <HymnToLife> sean_, sorry to disappint you but I'm using terminal programs on an Athlon 64
[06:40] <sean_> cntb: thanks very much
[06:41] <sean_> HymnToLife:  :-) hey I'm not knocking it.. everyone to their own, just not for me
[06:41] <h3sp4wn> BluesKaj: Maybe not in this channel - but against most linux I would say yes (most people I know use it)
[06:41] <BluesKaj> konversation is prolly the easiest if yer used to windows clients like mirc
[06:41] <hatta> anyone who knows what they're doing uses irssi
[06:41] <HymnToLife> BluesKaj, there is xchat for Windows too
[06:42] <HymnToLife> damn, I'm sick of those "anyone who knows uses foobar"
[06:42] <HymnToLife> I think I know what I'm doing and I'm using xchat...
[06:42] <angasule> hatta: really? I thought snobs and elitists used irssi
[06:42] <BluesKaj> hatt yer a linux purist , that doesn't mean someone who doesn't use irssi isn't knowledgeable
[06:42] <hatta> them too
[06:43] <sean_> I'm knowledgeable - just not on Linux yet. I'm a windows guy, but I am very interested in learning Linux now.
[06:43] <jhutchins_wk> barb: Ok, I've been down this path before, just didn't remember the steps.
[06:44] <jhutchins_wk> barb: The problem is that the cupsys user (the one cups runs as) doens't have access to the shadow password file.
[06:44] <cntb> sean_ give us a hug
[06:44] <cntb> Anomymous LINUX addicts
[06:44] <jhutchins_wk> barb: After adding usr cupsys to the shadow group and restarting cups, you should be able to use your own username and password.
[06:44] <cntb> anonimous
[06:44] <h3sp4wn> anonimouse
[06:44] <sean_> lool
[06:45] <cntb> or is it anonymous ?
[06:45] <jhutchins_wk> If anybody knows a ubuntu developer, please kick them and ask them to FIX THE PRINTER INTERFACE AND CUPS PASSWORD PROBLEM.
[06:45] <sean_> anonymous
[06:45] <h3sp4wn> cntb: the later
[06:45] <cntb> latter
[06:45] <cntb> most of us write Internetish
[06:45] <jhutchins_wk> a=negative no=known nym=name ous=having this charictaristic.
[06:46] <n8k99> jhutchins_wk you could leave a bugreport on launchpad
[06:46] <jhutchins_wk> n8k99: You think 657,000 hits on google doesn't give anybody a clue?
[06:46] <jhutchins_wk> n8k99: I believe I did file a BR though.
[06:47] <n8k99> good
[06:47] <cntb> how do I repair X ? dpkg-reconfigure Xserver ?
[06:47] <cntb> !xserver
[06:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xserver - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:48] <jhutchins_wk> I tell ya, not being able to set up printers is a real deal killer for the average user.
[06:48] <cntb> !find xserver
[06:48] <ubotu> Found: xserver-xorg-input-elographics, xserver-xorg-input-evdev, xserver-xorg-input-kbd, xserver-xorg-input-mouse, xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (and 79 others)
[06:48] <cntb> what a lag ?
[06:49] <cntb> !find xserver-xorg
[06:49] <ubotu> Found: xserver-xorg-input-elographics, xserver-xorg-input-evdev, xserver-xorg-input-kbd, xserver-xorg-input-mouse, xserver-xorg-input-synaptics (and 72 others)
[06:49] <arditxo> ok thx all
[06:49] <arditxo> bye
[06:49] <BluesKaj> sean, i'm also a windows who eventually saw the error of my ways but being linux cli freak doesn't make ppl superior in any way , they just have a different computing experience than others , and be judged on linux purist cli terms is totally a childish POV.
[06:49] <alessandro_> i have audio problem i can hear sound but only on one side any suggestion?
[06:50] <sasoyna> i was ubuntu.So johny_ are you still there?
[06:51] <Gala> go go rock lee
[06:51] <sasoyna> who speak me to type kdestart? that's no twork
[06:52] <BluesKaj> startkde, sasoyna
[06:52] <sasoyna> ** no twork=not work
[06:52] <barb> all i can get is  authentication fails    using root with root's passwd
[06:52] <BluesKaj> type startkde , not kdestart
[06:52] <sasoyna>  < BluesKaj>:i try tnks
[06:54] <jhutchins_wk> barb: Did you add cupsys to shaddow and restart cups?
[06:55] <barb> 401 Unauthorized
[06:56] <barb> Enter your username and password or the root username and password to access this page.
[06:56] <barb> jhutchins_wk: yes
[06:56] <barb> that got rid of the dialog asking for a username and passwd.
[06:56] <barb> but now it goes streight to that page ^
[06:57] <cntb> BluesKaj:  explain childish POV pls !
[06:57] <GalaZ> if I've a file .rar... how can i open it?
[06:58] <barb> the line that reads "Enter your username and password or the root username and password to access this page."   is on the page after the  401 error      there is no  place to enter any authentication.
[06:58] <LjL> !rar > GalaZ    (GalaZ, see the private message from Ubotu)
[06:59] <jhutchins_wk> barb: I dunno, try regular username & password instead.
[06:59] <LjL> !upgrade > LjL    (LjL, see the private message from Ubotu)
[07:00] <barb> how it doesn't ask for a user anymore ?
[07:00] <cntb> LjL in migration managed to  login cli with errors how do I clean fstab ? specifically kill UUIDs and chg sda7 to hda7 ?
[07:00] <barb> it just says auth failed.
[07:00] <jhutchins_wk> Oh, close the browser, it's cached it.
[07:00] <barb> oh
[07:00] <barb> heh
[07:00] <LjL> cntb... parse error on line one :o)
[07:00] <BluesKaj> cntb , the idea that using a cli interface like irssi is somehow superior to using a gui client
[07:01] <cntb> IOW in migtration to different hardware howto reconstruct fstab ?
[07:01] <LjL> !blkid | cntb
[07:01] <ubotu> cntb: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[07:01] <LjL> but actually, the UUIDs should remain the same, if the partitions are the same
[07:01] <cntb> tyvm LjL
[07:01] <LjL> even if the hardware is different
[07:01] <cntb> same layout LjL
[07:02] <cntb> arenot UUIDs taken from hardware?
[07:02] <LjL> no
[07:02] <LjL> cntb: depends on how you duplicated the partitions - if you *cloned* them, the UUIDs should remain the same. if you just copy the files, they'll probably change
[07:02] <barb> nope auth fails for user also
[07:02] <cntb> acronis copied a SATA to hda  80gb sata to 80gb PATA
[07:03] <cntb> true copy
[07:03] <cntb> windows works OK
[07:03] <barb> jhutchins_wk: auth fails for user also
[07:03] <cntb> OK
[07:04] <cntb> so how do I convert blkid to fstab ?vi ?
[07:04] <cntb> pipe > LjL ?
[07:04] <LjL> cntb: any editor, yeah
[07:05] <jhutchins_wk> barb: I'm really sorry, this must be quite frustrating.  Let me see what I can find, I know there's a way around it.
[07:05] <cntb> trying to save typing is """ blkid > fstab-buildfrom-here "" a good idea ?
[07:05] <ozziuss> siema
[07:06] <LjL> cntb: no
[07:07] <ozziuss> could somebody tell mi what is IRC? for what can I use it?
[07:07] <cntb> LjL: what better idea?
[07:07] <LjL> cntb: doing it manually
[07:07] <LjL> the "blkid" format isn't fstab format
[07:07] <cntb> LjL:  trying to build a routine of producing dual boot PCs
[07:07] <LjL> ozziuss: you're using it right now, for chatting.
[07:08] <LjL> cntb: then a script
[07:08] <cntb> OK but must think where and how to save work  LjL ;-)
[07:08] <jhutchins_wk> barb: Hang in there, gathering clues.
[07:08] <ozziuss> LjL: IRC is only a chat client?
[07:08] <LjL> ozziuss: IRC is a protocol. the client is Konversation or X-Chat or whatever.
[07:08] <LjL> right now, you're on the Freenode network of IRC servers.
[07:08] <LjL> and yes it's chat
[07:09] <LjL> cntb: let me see, blkid has some useful options for formatting
[07:09] <cntb> maybe to the point  I am reading scripts but not making myself LjL
[07:09] <barb> i'm going to say it's a permissions problem.   what files/dirs are we talking about here ?
[07:09] <ozziuss> aaa...i understand now
[07:09] <h3sp4wn> ozziuss: people abuse it for other purposes (i.e warez)
[07:09] <cntb> LjL: Ok ty will man blkid
[07:10] <LjL> cntb: well, a problem i can see is: how could you ever match partitions automatically? i.e. how to know that a given partition is / and not /home?
[07:10] <LjL> i think that, save some very clever magic that's probably not really worth doing, that would have to be done manually
[07:10] <jhutchins_wk> barb: sudo vi /etc/group, find lpadmin - are you a member?
[07:11] <jhutchins_wk> (You can use whatever user management tool you prefer, I'm a CLI guy)
[07:11] <cntb> maybe right LjL
[07:11] <LjL> just type "groups" to see which groups you belong to
[07:11] <ozziuss> can somebody help me? i can't open phpmyadmin in kubuntu. i installed it using sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin
[07:11] <cntb> tyvm
[07:12] <LjL> cntb: blkid can search by partition label. if your partitions have meaningful labels, you could use that. but i don't know many people who actually do use labels...
[07:14] <cntb> LjL: now on CLI only without X without network
[07:14] <cntb> what do I do if I need su . which does not work
[07:14] <cntb> LjL: sudo suficces even now?
[07:14] <h3sp4wn> sudo -i
[07:14] <jhutchins_wk> Shoot, we lost one.
[07:15] <cntb> LjL: in windows I do use labels all the time
[07:15] <cntb> tyvm for the idea
[07:15] <cntb> tvm h3sp4wn
[07:16] <jhutchins_wk> Finally found the page that ACTUALLY EXPLAINS how to make cups work, add the username to group lpadmin, and add cupsys to group shadow.
[07:17] <cntb> how do I label a blkdevice in CLI ?
[07:17] <cntb> I know my root is /dev/hda7
[07:17] <LjL> cntb: tune2fs -L, for ext3 filesystems
[07:17] <LjL> well actually, e2label even
[07:18] <cntb> ty
[07:18] <cntb> OK e2label helped me
[07:20] <Alumin> hmm...I'm not sure if this is a distro question, a Konsole question, or a screen question (perhaps a terminfo question?), but uh
[07:20] <cntb> anybody knows how to import file in "vi editor " ? sorry for lazyness or lack of CLI skills
[07:20] <Alumin> ok, so if I run Konsole and then run screen with a bunch of ssh sessions attached, my backspace key doesn't work (the terminal just beeps when I press it)
[07:21] <LjL> cntb: no, i don't, but perhaps you might want to have mouse support for copy and paste
[07:21] <LjL> !gpm
[07:21] <jhutchins_wk> cntb: :r <file>
[07:21] <ubotu> gpm: General Purpose Mouse Interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.19.6-22ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 202 kB, installed size 500 kB
[07:21] <Alumin> however, if I attach to the same screen session with xterm, it works
[07:21] <Alumin> gpm is in universe?  wow
[07:22] <jhutchins_wk> Alumin: Try "reset".
[07:22] <LjL> well it's not like ubuntu gives much emphasis to the VT interface...
[07:22] <cntb> jhutchins_wk: you made me advance fast tyvm
[07:22] <jhutchins_wk> Alumin: I think GPM predates the universal GNU license.
[07:23] <Alumin> LjL: true, but I thought inclusion in main predicated on licensing issues rather than "focus"?
[07:23] <LjL> jhutchins_wk: shouldn't matter, the decision of putting something in universe vs main isn't license dictated
[07:23] <LjL> Alumin: no
[07:23] <Alumin> it isn't?
[07:23] <h3sp4wn> I hate nano - like vim - probably should learn emacs one of these days
[07:23] <Alumin> I'm used to Debian I guess
[07:23] <LjL> main *and* universe are free software / restricted *and* multiverse are non-free (or depend on non-free)
[07:23] <LjL> otoh
[07:24] <LjL> main *and* restricted are maintained by the core developers / universe *and* multiverse are maintained by the community
[07:24] <LjL> these are the difference
[07:24] <Alumin> ah, ok
[07:24] <cntb> main is the most necessary universe is extra
[07:24] <LjL> main=coredevs,free - universe=community,free - restricted=coredevs,nonfree - multiverse=community,nonfree
[07:24] <slyfox> I have a problem, you know how in KDE all the icons are in tray packed small and organized? Now they are in one big straight line, how do I fix it?
[07:25] <Alumin> slyfox: perhaps you need to make your panel larger?
[07:27] <caris_mere> could somebody help me with webcam setup?
[07:27] <jager> how can i get amarok to use projectm?
[07:27] <Alumin> slyfox: sometimes it's just a couple of pixels' worth of height that makes the difference
[07:27] <jager> ubuntu doesn't seem to have proojectm in the repositories :(
[07:28] <johny_> is this possible to acces the recycle bin by shell?
[07:28] <jager> i installed some debian packages and it works fine in xmms but amarok doesn't see xmms plugins :(
[07:28] <dwidmann> slyfox, if you're talking about the icons in the system tray, I do recall KDE 3.5.2 having them in multiple rows, and previous/later versions having them in a single row.
[07:29] <LjL> !webcam
[07:29] <ubotu> webcam is now easy to install on Linux; instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[07:29] <cntb> can parted update fstab ?
[07:29] <jhutchins_wk> Doesn't firefox have an editor function?
[07:29] <slyfox> dwidmann: no a few minutes ago I had them in multiple rows, and now it is one long line
[07:30] <dwidmann> jhutchins_wk, I don't think so, I think seamonkey does though.
[07:30] <cntb> df -h does not show /dev/hda1 which is windows . why ?
[07:30] <hatta> cntb, is it mounted?
[07:30] <dwidmann> slyfox, hmmm, did you alter the size of the tray?
[07:31] <dwidmann> cntb: is /dev/hda1 mounted?
[07:31] <caris_mere> LjL: I've been there, but I still can't get it working, not really sure about all that
[07:32] <albertg> Hi.. i need some help
[07:32] <LjL> caris_mere: i'm not sure i can help you very much, my cam just worked out of the box. what are you stuck on anyway?
[07:32] <slyfox> dwidmann: I did install beryl and it happened
[07:32] <slyfox> dwidmann: how can I alter the size again ?
[07:32] <dwidmann> right click -> configure panel
[07:33] <dwidmann> about 2/3 of the way down
[07:33] <caris_mere> LjL: It's plugged in, but doesn't do anything, I just don't know what to do
[07:33] <albertg> Hi.. i need some help!!! plz...
[07:33] <LjL> caris_mere: well i suppose you should install something like Camorama, as the page suggests, to see if the webcam is working?
[07:33] <LjL> !camorama
[07:33] <ubotu> camorama: gnome2 tool to view, alter and save images from a webcam. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.18-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 190 kB, installed size 1376 kB
[07:34] <caris_mere> LjL: I installed the camorama, but it says that it can't connect to the video device
[07:34] <LjL> caris_mere: then it's just not working, which webcam is it? actually, what does  lsusb  in a console say?
[07:35] <slyfox> dwidmann: which section ?
[07:36] <ubuntu> i am french and you ?
[07:36] <dwidmann> slyfox: should be a dropdown for the size, "tiny,normal,large,custom" or something like that
[07:36] <BluesKaj> !fr
[07:36] <ubotu> Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[07:37] <caris_mere> LjL: it says, Logitech, Inc. in the lsusb, and it is a Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX Plus
[07:38] <slyfox> dwidmann: man, cant find it. Which section. ?
[07:40] <dwidmann> one sec slyfox
[07:40] <Danzik> Quick question...
[07:40] <jhutchins_wk> Can't somebody put some warnings on the beryl packages?
[07:41] <Danzik> How do I install this screensaver?  (Never installed anything in Linux before)
[07:41] <jhutchins_wk> WARNING!!! ALPHA SOFTWARE!!! THIS WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM!!!
[07:41] <slyfox> jhutchins_wk: but it looks so appealing
[07:41] <slyfox> jhutchins_wk: http://lunapark6.com/?p=2916
[07:42] <Danzik> Any thoughts on the screensaver install?
[07:42] <jhutchins_wk> Danzik: apt-get install thisscreensaver
[07:43] <dwidmann> slyfox: http://images.xnowherex.net/size.png - the third frame, labelled size
[07:43] <jhutchins_wk> Danzik: Because nobody has a clue what you mean by "this screensaver", nobody's answering.
[07:43] <LjL> caris_mere: not sure, try rebooting with the webcam already in the port if you haven't
[07:43] <Danzik> hmm
[07:44] <dwidmann> best screensaver set I've seen was rss-glx ...
[07:44] <caris_mere> LjL: I have done that.  I looked under my devices and it says the device is Unknown, guess I will try to take it back and find one that doesn't have these problems
[07:44] <slyfox> dwidmann: this changes the size of the whole pannel, I just need the System Tray icons to be grouped into 2 lines, not one long line.
[07:45] <LjL> caris_mere: try one that's listed in the compatibility list if you can find it...
[07:45] <caris_mere> LjL: I will, thanks
[07:46] <infu> hello
[07:46] <crov> Hi, i am having problem with Booting Kubuntu i got this screen error and it stop booting... http://img102.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00260dd0.jpg
[07:46] <dwidmann> slyfox ... can't recall how to do it if it can be done :\
[07:47] <slyfox> crov: Is that a live cd boot ?
[07:47] <dwidmann> slyfox, well, I do know a way, it just may not be what you want
[07:47] <slyfox> dwidmann: I just want a simpel way :-(
[07:48] <Jaxx> Where can I find location of kubuntu firewall?
[07:48] <dwidmann> slyfox: , well, what I was thinking is, seperate it into two panels (or perhaps even three, if it lets you overlap them)
[07:48] <dwidmann> two wouldn't really fly unless you had a transparent panel background ..
[07:49] <crov> slyfox kubuntu-6.10-dvd-i386.iso
[07:52] <cntb> bk here
[07:52] <cntb> dwidmann /dev/hda1 not mounted not shown in blkid
[07:53] <cntb> scenario is migrating from sata to pata after acronis ghost or other imaging
[07:54] <cntb> BTW is there any unix utility for imaging like acronis or ghost ?
[07:54] <slyfox> crov: you proabbly had what I had, go to your bios settings and choose AGP = 4x
[07:54] <slyfox> crov: hold on
[07:54] <cntb> imaging seems like a tough job
[07:55] <hatta> cntb, dd or rsync depending on your needs
[07:56] <fdoving> cntb: partimage, mondorescue.
[07:57] <crov> slyfox but i am not using agp, i am using PCIE for my vga
[07:57] <cntb> tyvm fdoving hatta which one is CLI which is GUI ?
[07:58] <slyfox> crov: read this https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9284
[07:58] <dwidmann> partimage is a text mode interface if I remember right
[07:58] <slyfox> crov: what I did was " Alternatively change the AGP speed from 8x to 4x in the BIOS"
[07:58] <slyfox> crov: then once installed "
[07:58] <slyfox> it also work if you set up AGP 8x in the BIOS and use Option "AGPMode" "8"
[07:58] <slyfox> in xorg.conf?
[07:59] <slyfox> crov: then once installed, add Option "AGPMode" "8"  in xorg.conf  and then set the agp back to 8x in bios
[07:59] <slyfox> crov: No idea for pci
[07:59] <slyfox> crov: look into yoru bios
[07:59] <crov> yea if you have AGP as VGA
[07:59] <cntb> I think  as of today many community users have Broadband so there must be as many local mirrors of linux iinstall as possible
[08:00] <crov> but i can try to edit xorg and disable nano and disable the module "dri"
[08:00] <cntb> i myself found a script to buid the mirror and am starting to build local mirror
[08:01] <cntb> consider this link http://blog.entner.net/2006/08/16/make-ubuntu-dvds-including-everything/ for local mirror
[08:01] <slyfox> dwidmann: did it, either set the pannel size to large and to make it a bit smaller - custom - 48pixels
[08:02] <cntb> this link or similar should be introduced in  ubotu IMHO
[08:02] <cntb> http://blog.entner.net/2006/08/16/make-ubuntu-dvds-including-everything/

[08:04] <yura> Having problem with samba share. Can anyone help me?
[08:04] <BluesKaj> ok yura , what's the prob/
[08:05] <Jaxx> where can I setup FIREWALL IN KUBUNTU?
[08:06] <Jaxx> !firewall
[08:06] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[08:06] <yura> When I'm opening any openoffice document from samba share, the OpenOffice is asking login and password for this share
[08:06] <BluesKaj> !firewall
[08:06] <BluesKaj> oops
[08:07] <yura> is't asking login and pass only one time per session
[08:07] <cntb> Jaxx:  you most prolly are looking for a GUI tuning of firewall ?
[08:07] <dettoaltrimenti> are there any pre-made templates for openoffice's spreadsheet program?
[08:08] <BluesKaj> so you have permission to open the docs, yura ?
[08:09] <yura> Don't know. How can check if I have any "pre-made templates"?
[08:09] <yura> yes, I have premissions
[08:10] <yura> any other file type isn't asking any password
[08:10] <BluesKaj> sorry dunno much about O.O
[08:10] <yura> only open office types
[08:10] <cntb> when a line in fstab starts with # and whne not ?
[08:11] <BluesKaj> then the O.O files are prolly pw protected by someone else, yura
[08:11] <yura> no they aren't
[08:12] <BluesKaj> do they open if you use the pw?
[08:12] <yura> When I'm creating network folder link in Gnome there no such problem
[08:12] <BluesKaj> have you setup the share applet on the folders ?
[08:13] <BluesKaj> in my experience setting up the share requires the password just once on new folders

[09:23] <captain_flam> attila: so I suppose you crashed an application or reboot on a dirty way. Try to rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock
[09:23] <captain_flam> You where root when doing the fstat command right ?
[09:24] <attila> captain_flam: I have this problem since I killed some installation
[09:26] <captain_flam> attila: you should try kill berfore kill -9, so the program can exit in a proper way. Anyway, removing the lock should work.
[09:29] <attila> captain_flam: I can't remove the file. It says access is denied; what does it mean kill before kill -9?
[09:29] <attila> captain_flam: sorry, I use kubuntu for a few days only
[09:31] <shadowhywind> does anyone know how to change the interface name of say ndiswrapper?
[09:31] <captain_flam> attila: the installation you killed was probably with the command "kill -9", that whould be a good idea to try kill (without -9) before you try this. Anyway just remove the file lock and dont forget sudo as it's a file owned by root.
[09:32] <nagyv> attila: hello :)
[09:32] <captain_flam> attila: and welcome in the wonderful world of ubuntu (WWU).

[09:40] <coreire> i'm installing kubuntu there, and i'm at the prepare mount points screen, i've chose a 20gb partition as "/" and i have chosen a swap partition, but when i click continue it gives the message "No Root File System". What am i missing?
[09:40] <willilanger> nagyv: now I'm diredctly connected to internet with ubuntu
[09:40] <rag_> julio,ubuntu-es
[09:40] <Kristophe> Hi anyone have a "windows mobile" palm-like? Does the synchronisation with kontact works?
[09:40] <nagyv> julio click to #kubuntu-es (click-click :) )

[09:40] <julio> grasias amigos
[09:41] <julio> thankiu frens
[09:41] <nagyv> welcome :)
[09:41] <willilanger> nagyv: yes... but I'm looking for this automatic update
[09:41] <nagyv> willilanger: as I have told you search a bit, at least I don't know the program
[09:41] <coreire> and is it ok to have the root partition as a logical one?
[09:41] <nagyv> coreire: yep
[09:41] <willilanger> nagyv: ok 10x
[09:43] <nagyv> coreire: do you have ntfs partitions now? you should select a new file type in the installer
[09:43] <Shak1> NEW
[09:43] <coreire> i have ntfs partitions on the drive, but the one i have chosen for root is ext3, and the swap is formatted for swap
[09:45] <nagyv> coreire: and what is your error message?
[09:45] <tzbishop> How much space on HD (MB) does Kubuntu server consumes ?
[09:45] <johny_> sasoyna: how?
[09:45] <julio> i havesome questions
[09:45] <coreire> nagyv: No root partition
[09:45] <nagyv> !ask | julio
[09:45] <ubotu> julio: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:45] <rag_> julio, tell
[09:46] <nagyv> coreire: then try to reformat it as ext3, and select is once more, and apply the results. Sorry, but no better idea. :(
[09:46] <sasoyna> johny_: i select failsafe-->i type startkde
[09:46] <coreire> i'm using manual partitioning btw, do i have to set the ext3 as active?
[09:47] <julio> my question is how i do to get comunication thro tht linux to windows vois and video?
[09:48] <albertg> hi.. i need some help..
[09:48] <nagyv> julio: you can choose, although I don't have a "best" solution: amsn, skype, kopete
[09:48] <willilanger> anyone know how to get worked the wheel mouse?
[09:48] <nagyv> julio: and there is also wengophone which is probably the best available possibility
[09:48] <coreire> nagyv: format worked, thanks a lot
[09:48] <rag_> amsn, julio
[09:49] <lupine_85> ekiga > wengophone
[09:49] <lupine_85> linphone > *
[09:49] <johny_> sasoyna: so, everything is ok?
[09:50] <johny_> sasoyna: Did someone from #kde help you?
[09:50] <julio> I trayed to install amsn but i culdn
[09:50] <LjL> whatever > whatever, the only one i see a Qt version of is wengophone
[09:50] <johny_> julio: you want to use MSN protocol on Kubuntu?
[09:51] <julio> kubuntu
[09:51] <sasoyna> johny_:not really i enter whith the "manual" mode. I try on #kde.I hope to resolve:)
[09:51] <nagyv> LjL: skype is also qt based, althought I would like to use wengo
[09:52] <albertg> HI i need some help
[09:52] <LjL> nagyv: skype isn't a SIP client... i saw lupine_85 listing SIP clients. i don't even consider anything else, especially horrid proprietary protocols
[09:52] <johny_> sasoyna: can you relogin if you want?
[09:52] <albertg> how can i modify my source list?
[09:52] <lupine_85> skype < *
[09:52] <lupine_85> SIP is great, IAX is OK
[09:52] <nagyv> I have already tried once to set up a SIP connection between two computers (one windows, and mine), no success. SIP is still not for the ordinary users
[09:53] <nagyv> albertg: kdesu kate
[09:53] <lupine_85> lol
[09:53] <johny_> albertg: "sudo (editor) /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:53] <nagyv> albertg: then open the file as usual :)
[09:53] <sasoyna> johny_:what you mean?
[09:53] <lupine_85> no, SIP /is/ for the ordinary user. Skype is for the mindless drone ;)
[09:53] <johny_> albertg: that's from terminal
[09:53] <lupine_85> that said, gnome-meeting might be more to your taste
[09:53] <albertg> ok
[09:53] <albertg> johny_: thx
[09:53] <johny_> sasoyna: if you rebbot your computer everything is ok?
[09:54] <lupine_85> I think it interoperates with netmeetings
[09:54] <lupine_85> netmeeting*
[09:54] <nagyv> lupine_85: it was not, I have tried is also, and the problem was probably in the window's client
[09:54] <nagyv> lupine_85: but this did not helped me out
[09:54] <lupine_85> so, use a decent windows client? Ekiga compiled for it, last time I checked (although experimentally)
[09:54] <sasoyna> johny_:definitely no.I have to enter whith failsafe+kdestart.the only mode for now.
[09:54] <albertg> johny_: hey editor?
[09:55] <nagyv> lupine_85: I have tried exactly that :(
[09:55] <johny_> albertg: editor= nano (for shell) kate=for graphics
[09:55] <lupine_85> nagyv: try #windows and ask what SIP clients they're using?
[09:56] <nagyv> lupine_85: thx, this is a good idea :)
[09:56] <lupine_85> or set up a trixbox
[09:56] <lupine_85> not /that/ is a solution that isn't for the average user
[09:56] <lupine_85> now*
[09:56] <albertg> johny_: after i access how do i modify it? or save it
[09:56] <johny_> sasoyna: Try to report ypur problem here when more people is on-line or on #kde
[09:56] <Mena> is fiesty beta ot stable?
[09:57] <sasoyna> johny_:I note that i have too many root shells open.I don't think that's matter but who knows?
[09:57] <nagyv> Mena: beta
[09:57] <albertg> johny_: im getting this error

[10:06] <Mena> nagyv, So what to do to knwo all this things
[10:06] <goodthing> is lirc-modules-source broken in edgy or something?
[10:06] <nagyv> Mena: then start to learn them. You can write small shell scripts just for fun. And you should read a lot! Documentations, and after the source code.
[10:07] <binks> Mena: ok i would learn python as most linux is python or c++ but c++ is way too hard to start
[10:07] <nagyv> Mena: try to find small problems that you want to solve using the computer, everything, even your homework.
[10:07] <binks> plus python is fun and gets you up and running fast and thus addictive
[10:07] <Mena> nagyv, binks, ok
[10:08] <binks> Mena: :)
[10:08] <kde_alin> what makes python so special?
[10:08] <Mena> nagyv,i think i should learn more basses abd then learn much more
[10:08] <nagyv> Mena: I think it is really easy to start with php, because it does not require any strictness, but you have to know all the time, that this way is a wrong way, after move on to python, java, c++, etc
[10:08] <binks> Mena: http://www.diveintopython.org/
[10:09] <Mena> nagyv,ok
[10:09] <nagyv> binks: I am going to look at it right now! :)

[10:16] <Wazzzaaa> :)
[10:16] <h3sp4wn> binks: Its not that much faster
[10:16] <Wazzzaaa> some howto's says to use kynaptic, but i can't find it in the menu (kubuntu edgy)
[10:16] <johny_> timster: try http://www.google.com/linux?hl=pl&q=flash+version&btnG=Szukaj&lr=
[10:16] <blue|palm> I just want to program and use basic tools (mail, websurfing etc.) but i want it to be super-fast in kde if possible...
[10:16] <binks> which is why i use kubuntu
[10:17] <blue|palm> so its not worth swapping? What about debian?
[10:17] <binks> blue|palm: kubuntu will be ok for you is rocks
[10:17] <johny_> timster: sorry . this one http://www.google.com/linux?hl=en&q=flash+version&btnG=Szukaj&lr=

[10:18] <Ippatsu> hi all! I'm having an issue with file sharing with samba/nfs: I can't enable it from system settings or kcontrol because the panel is disabled ( screenshot here: http://img118.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sharingubuntuvp7.png ), how can I fix it?
[10:18] <binks> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy
[10:18] <johny_> timster: how did you find it?
[10:18] <binks> ^^ blue|palm
[10:18] <blue|palm> binks: yeah?
[10:18] <Wazzzaaa> binks, nothing is wrong with apt
[10:19] <timster> Youtube, rightclick a video it says
[10:19] <h3sp4wn> blue|palm: etch is slightly faster than kubuntu in my experience
[10:19] <binks> so why use kynaptic
[10:19] <Wazzzaaa> i prefer doing everything commandline also
[10:19] <binks> no u misunderstood adept is a gui
[10:19] <binks> in kubuntu
[10:19] <Wazzzaaa> sorry, i also kno adept
[10:19] <blue|palm> h3sp4wn: Im not familiar with debian names! is etch the latest debian distro?
[10:19] <Wazzzaaa> but i can't import a gpg key there
[10:20] <binks> om yes cli is the best
[10:20] <Wazzzaaa> (im new to kubuntu)
[10:20] <Wazzzaaa> im desperate, and there is one howto, but that describes installing the GUI way
[10:20] <h3sp4wn> blue|palm: etch is debian testing (will be stable soon) its newer than edgy also
[10:20] <h3sp4wn> (most packages)
[10:21] <binks> Wazzzaaa:   what you installing
[10:21] <blue|palm> h3sp4wn: cool, ill look into it. How big would the final release iso(s) be though?
[10:21] <johny_> Wazzzaaa: Did you triy to do it in apt's way?
[10:21] <h3sp4wn> blue|palm: You only need the net-install or kde cd1
[10:21] <h3sp4wn> blue|palm: there is 20cd's or something I think
[10:22] <blue|palm> h3sd4wn: woah... are there dvd(s)?
[10:22] <timster> !suse
[10:22] <ubotu> Other !Linux distributions besides !Ubuntu include: Debian, Mepis (using !APT); RedHat, Fedora, SUSE, Mandriva (using !RPM); Gentoo, Slackware (using other packaging systems)
[10:22] <Wazzzaaa> johny_ i don't know anymore what i did and did not try :S
[10:22] <Wazzzaaa> I want to install my ATI card
[10:22] <h3sp4wn> blue|palm: There are - whereas kubuntu / ubuntu etc has one cd - debian has every package on a cd
[10:22] <binks> ok a last question to python programmers what ide to use
[10:22] <johny_> Wazzzaaa: what package you need?
[10:23] <zero> nas
[10:23] <Wazzzaaa> w8 a minute,
[10:23] <battery> When using adept it says "eror committing changes" Is NDISWrapper included on the LiveCD?
[10:23] <binks> Wazzzaaa: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide
[10:24] <binks> battery add the extra repos if your online
[10:24] <Wazzzaaa> i already did that
[10:24] <binks> so what error you getting

[10:40] <johny_> !xorg.conf|coreire
[10:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xorg.conf - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:40] <LjL> !xconfig
[10:41] <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  - See also !FixRes
[10:41] <LjL> !xorg.conf is <alias> fixres
[10:41] <ubotu> I'll remember that, LjL
[10:41] <dwidmann> ooh, a neat trick
[10:43] <serpentus> hi... can someone please help..I need to convert an iso image to bin...how can I do it??? thanks
[10:47] <coreire> i ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" and i found 1280x768 which is pretty close, but is there any way to get exactly 1360x768?
[10:48] <LjL> 1360x768? that's a weird resolution now...
[10:48] <LjL> i hope you don't have a 4:3 screen
[10:48] <LjL> !modeline
[10:48] <ubotu> A Modeline is a configuration line in the X server configuration file that provides information about a connected computer monitor or television and how to drive it at a specified display resolution. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XFree86_Modeline for more details. Here is 2 links to generate modelines which fit your monitor: http://www.bohne-lang.de/spec/linux/modeline/ and http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl
[10:48] <coreire> i don't, its a widescreen hdtv
[10:49] <coreire> its actually 1366x768 but the gfx card can't output that because its not a multiple of 8
[10:49] <dwidmann> serpentus: to bin? any reason why? Hmm, I see utilities for doing the opposite floating around though (bchunk)
[10:49] <BluesKaj> !16x9
[10:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 16x9 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:49] <BluesKaj> !widescreen
[10:49] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about widescreen - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:50] <BluesKaj> ubot is outdated !
[10:50] <LjL> perhaps you could say ubuntu is, if it doesn't recognize widescreen
[10:50] <LjL> anyway just make a modeline
[10:50] <BluesKaj> ubotu is outdated !
[10:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is outdated ! - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:51] <BluesKaj> :>p
[10:51] <serpentus> yep, I only see bin to iso, but I need Iso 2 bin.. it's that my Play Station brokedown T_T... and PCSX only reads bin.....(don worry it's an original game)
[10:51] <crimsun> does anyone happen to be experiencing problems using mysql 5.0.32-2 as the db backend in Feisty's amarok 1.4.5?
[10:52] <Ashex> anyone know of an rdc client that resumes active sessions?
[10:53] <luca_b> Ashex: NX should do the trick, if there is a NX server on the other side
[10:53] <dwidmann> serpentus, I guess google will have to come to the rescue ... I'm sure there's a iso9660 to cue/bin converter floating out there somewhere
[10:53] <voicu> crimsun: i updated amarok once and that messed up the collection. i deleted the db in mysql and created a new one. that worked for me
[10:53] <Ashex> luca_b, I'm currently using NX
[10:53] <Ashex> I want one that resumes active sessions
[10:53] <Ashex> kinda like (hate to mention it) windows, where if i remote connect, it automatically locks the active session and allows you to enter it
[10:54] <luca_b> Ashex: Ah, not like a real terminal server
[10:54] <coreire> what should i set dot clock and refresh rate to for an lcd? or does it vary?
[10:54] <Ashex> luca_b, pretty much
[10:54] <dwidmann> coreire: every monitor is different
[10:54] <serpentus> dwidmann: I tried..it only gives me bin 2 iso.... Well I'll keep trying..if not will have to go to reboot to Window$.... thank you
[10:54] <voicu> can anyone explain me briefly what do all the directories in /proc do? i understand that the numbers are processes with statistics and stuff but what is /proc/sys/net? is it some kind of configuration or what?
[10:55] <luca_b> Ashex: I use NX seldomly, but I never found myself in such a solution (I lock my workstation when I go home from work)
[10:55] <dwidmann> serpentus: if you've got something that can do it in windows, why not try to run it with wine?
[10:55] <voicu>  /proc/sys/net is just an example
[10:55] <Ashex> luca_b, yeah, I use it to connect to my home machine and do non-productive work
[10:55] <luca_b> voicu: basically an abstraction of what the kernel "sees" about your HW and other things related
[10:55] <coreire> dwidmann: is there a default? whatever xorg is using at the moment is fine
[10:56] <coreire> i just don't know what values xorg is using
[10:56] <luca_b> coreire: usually X tries to get the information via DDC, i.e. by requesting them directly to the monitor
[10:56] <crimsun> voicu: in dapper, edgy orfeisty?
[10:56] <jott> luca_b: NX allows to detach a session...
[10:56] <luca_b> jott: yes, but it doesn't "lock" a local session that is active
[10:57] <coreire> luca_b: is there any wat for me to find the values X is receiving?
[10:57] <voicu> luca_b: ok, so it's like you can change the kernel internal settings, right?
[10:57] <jetsaredim> getting rather frustrated
[10:57] <luca_b> jott: because it acts like a true terminal server (rather than what Microsoft does)
[10:57] <dwidmann> coreire: maybe
[10:57] <luca_b> voicu: some of them, yes
[10:57] <jetsaredim> I still can't seem to find a package that will allow dvd playback on kubuntu feisty
[10:57] <voicu> crimsun: edgy, but it *looks* like the problem i had, why not try it? you just have to wait for amarok to rescan the collection
[10:58] <coreire> dwidmann: any idea where to look?
[10:58] <voicu> ok, thanks luca_b
[10:58] <crimsun> voicu: the error I'm experiencing is a bit more difficult to diagnose, as there's no collection being generated from a fresh install at all [with the appropriate additional packages installed] 
[10:58] <jott> luca_b: on the other hand you could use vnc then...
[10:59] <dwidmann> coreire: doesn't look like there are any clues in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, I'll take a look around elsewhere to see where it might put them
[10:59] <luca_b> jott: yes, that would work
[10:59] <goodthing> are there other apps than mythtv which are able to be controlled by a remote?
[11:00] <spitwise> does anyone know how to make amarok NOT launch everytime i click on an mp3?
[11:00] <jott> luca_b: or only use nx even for local sessions ;)
[11:00] <jetsaredim> can anyone tell me what I need to change to be able to install things like dvdcss, flash, java, etc??
[11:00] <voicu> crimsun: so what exactly happens, what errors do you get? do you want to create the collection and it doesn't go into sql or what?
[11:00] <spitwise> jetsaredim: have you edited your sources.list?
[11:00] <luca_b> spitwise: you can change associations in kcontrol
[11:01] <spitwise> sweet thanks luca_b
[11:01] <voicu> sorry for my limited vocabulary, it's late :D
[11:01] <coreire> dwidmann: ok thanks, i'm playing with the xorg.conf now, hopefully i'll figure out a way to get the res
[11:01] <luca_b> coreire: probably through the RandR applet
[11:02] <jetsaredim> spitwise: um - not sure - I added universe and multiverse to the lists of the feisty repos in the adept screens but that seems to have done nothing
[11:02] <luca_b> coreire: open a terminal and type "xrandr"
[11:02] <spitwise> after adding them you need to update
[11:02] <jetsaredim> but that was just a reaching at straws kind of thing
[11:02] <luca_b> it will type alll the resolutions and highlight the current one with an asterisk
[11:02] <dwidmann> hmm,  that's what I was just about to say too :\
[11:02] <spitwise> i don;'t use adept but in konsole you type sudo apt-get update
[11:03] <jetsaredim> spitwise: then what?
[11:03] <jetsaredim> I should be able to find the packages I need/want?
[11:04] <jott> there is even a kde frontend for randr called krandrtray :)
[11:04] <spitwise> jetsaredim: ya, but i don't know about dvd things .. i ain't got one
[11:04] <luca_b> I don't think dvdcss is in multiverse
[11:04] <dwidmann> !libdvdcss2
[11:04] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[11:05] <coreire> luca_b: its reports 1024x768 down to 400x300, 1024x768 has the asterisk
[11:05] <luca_b> coreire: that's your current res then
[11:05] <jetsaredim> yea - i went to those urls but they don't cover feisty
[11:05] <luca_b> jetsaredim: oh, I think there was a discussion on the kubuntu ML about feisty and DVD stuff
[11:05] <dwidmann> libdvdcss2 has been the same for a long, long, long while
[11:06] <LordOllie> hey hey
[11:06] <coreire> yes, but i can't find a way to add the 1360x768 res, i got 1280x768 and was able to use it, i then went into xorg.conf, edited 1280 to 1360, saved, rebooted, and now the max is 1024x768 again
[11:06] <jetsaredim> hm - apt-get update seems to have flagged some packages
[11:06] <dwidmann> hi LordOllie
[11:06] <LordOllie> has anyone succesfully installed banshee on edgy?
[11:06] <luca_b> coreire: that's an HD res, I assume?
[11:07] <cntb> can I change password create users in rescue mode thru alternateCD?
[11:07] <luca_b> jetsaredim: install libdvdread3
[11:07] <coreire> yes, its a 720p tv, with max res of 1366x768
[11:07] <dwidmann> coreire: the best way to get the right res would be to figure out your monitor's horizontal sync and vertical refresh values, then reconfigure X to use them
[11:07] <luca_b> jetsaredim: then try this - sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh -  I'm not sure if it will work *at all* but worth trying
[11:07] <coreire> dwidmann: ok thanks, i'll try to find out the values
[11:07] <serenity> hi
[11:08] <LordOllie> sorry about that, did I miss anyone's answer?
[11:08] <serenity> i share my desktop via krfb, is it possible to contact this desktop on windows?
[11:09] <jetsaredim> luca_b: I saw that in the docs, but I couldn't find that package anywhere
[11:09] <cntb> serenity krfb form other PC with windows?
[11:09] <shadowhywind> how does one change the the login screen
[11:09] <serenity> cntb: yes
[11:09] <jott> coreire: do you have a nvidia card and use the binary driver?
[11:09] <coreire> jott: i have an ATI, i'm downloadin the driver there now to see if it helps
[11:09] <luca_b> jetsaredim: hmm... unsure
[11:10] <soulrider> what command can i use to view how much ram and swap i have in use ?
[11:10] <dwidmann> soulrider: top
[11:10] <jott> soulrider: free
[11:11] <luca_b> coreire: check this out http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Modeline_Database
[11:11] <dwidmann> soulrider: that or hit ctrl+escape
[11:11] <coreire> luca_b: thanks
[11:11] <soulrider> thanks!
[11:11] <|Soul|Shadow|> np j/k
[11:12] <|Soul|Shadow|> ya see why I hate ubuntu, It would'nt even let me have a multi linux os 1 kubuntu 1 ubuntu server :^{
[11:13] <luca_b> coreire: beware, some snippets include references to the nvidia driver
[11:13] <VanessaE> eh, any linux distro can be run with multiple copies, just put them on different partitions.
[11:15] <|Soul|Shadow|> nah ubuntu would not function & wouldnt even let me set up he server
[11:15] <|Soul|Shadow|> even this install didnt give e optin to setup workgroup
[11:15] <VanessaE> hm
[11:15] <|Soul|Shadow|> face it ubuntu's gnome sux :P
[11:16] <coreire> luca_b: thanks a lot, the settings for the previous model of my tv are there, hopefully they'll work for mine. How exactly do i use the modeline info?
[11:16] <martijn__> hello
[11:16] <dwidmann> http://xtiming.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/xtiming.pl <-- what a neat toy
[11:16] <^genius> =)
[11:17] <coreire> all i've got is ## DisplaySize             349 196
[11:17] <coreire> # Modeline                "1360x768" 85.500 1360 1424 1536 1792 768 771 777 795 +Hsync +Vsync
[11:17] <coreire> dunno what to do with it
[11:18] <dwidmann> It goes in the xorg.conf file
[11:18] <|Soul|Shadow|> I basicly want to use samba to run a database server on kubuntu linux but windows wont see the linux pc, how do I fix this?  I cannot use linux on other machines either
[11:18] <|Soul|Shadow|> dwid plz dont post unknown scripts
[11:18] <LordOllie> has anyone installed banshee, that could point me in the direction of the solution to my problem?
[11:18] <|Soul|Shadow|> core dlete it, I would
[11:19] <|Soul|Shadow|> delete*
[11:19] <LordOllie> |Soul|Shadow| is that your solution to me?
[11:19] <LordOllie> *for
[11:19] <|Soul|Shadow|> no
[11:19] <LordOllie> ohhh, okay
[11:19] <LordOllie> never mind then
[11:19] <|Soul|Shadow|> banshee video card?
[11:20] <|Soul|Shadow|> I delt with em before what is the prob
[11:20] <LordOllie> no the gnome media player
[11:20] <|Soul|Shadow|> ur using gnome??
[11:21] <dwidmann> Might find better Gnome related answers in #ubuntu
[11:21] <|Soul|Shadow|> ok unplug ur pc & throw it agenst the wall 5 times then install kubuntu :P
[11:21] <|Soul|Shadow|> that'll fix it
[11:21] <VanessaE> wtf?
[11:21] <LordOllie> but, I installed it on kubuntu from adept, or still #ubuntu?
[11:22] <|Soul|Shadow|> gnome sux man its how u fix a gnome issue
[11:22] <dwidmann> |Soul|Shadow|: if I found my computer running GNOME, I'm sure I would do that :P
[11:22] <rEvolution27> man i hate the ubuntu channell... you kde guys rock
[11:22] <VanessaE> if you don't like gnome don't sit in here bashing it; use something else.
[11:22] <|Soul|Shadow|> yeah u gotta install kubuntu from disk otherwise it has alot of missing things
[11:23] <|Soul|Shadow|> im using kde
[11:23] <VanessaE> as am I.
[11:23] <dwidmann> LordOllie: last scraps? "dpkg --purge guarddog" should have taken care of that
[11:23] <rEvolution27> I have a file that doesn't exist on my desktop, how do I delete it?
[11:23] <|Soul|Shadow|> U try convert gnome to kde al u get is POS :P
[11:24] <VanessaE> eh, all you have to do is *install* KDE.
[11:24] <dwidmann> rEvolution27: try refreshing the desktop
[11:24] <LordOllie> dwidmann: I did, there was still guarddog config's, icons, scripts, and it still controlled my iptables
[11:24] <VanessaE> you don't have to "convert" anything.
[11:24] <|Soul|Shadow|> not through gnome u cant it has alot of missing files
[11:24] <VanessaE> yes you can.
[11:24] <VanessaE> it's not a gnome thing
[11:24] <dwidmann> LordOllie: How evil of it ... purge is supposed to dump the configs ...
[11:24] <VanessaE> and you don't *have* to use synaptic either.
[11:24] <|Soul|Shadow|> only if you wanan screw up ur pc
[11:24] <VanessaE> you can use adept or command line tools.
[11:24] <hatta> <3 aptitude
[11:25] <VanessaE> or aptitude :)
[11:25] <|Soul|Shadow|> yeah I know I did adeept to update gnome to kde before I ended up with half installed kd e & alot of errors
[11:25] <jott> or raw dpkg :p
[11:25] <dwidmann> jott, that would be as bad as .... raw rpm. No, just no.
[11:27] <|Soul|Shadow|> l8tr
[11:27] <VanessaE> gevalt!
[11:28] <rEvolution27> I refreshed the desktop and the file is still there but with a lock on it
[11:29] <coreire> i'm trying to run a driver installer. "sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.33.6.run". But am getting error "can't open ./ati-driver-installer-8.33.6.run". As far as i can remember i used to have to set some attribute to open these?
[11:37] <ceritus> can anyone tell me how to enable s-video out?
[11:37] <flaccid> i'd like to know that as well
[11:38] <ceritus> i've looked all around in my system settings and can't figure it out. help?!?!?
[11:38] <h3sp4wn> ceritus: bash ./ati-driver-installer-8.33.6.run
[11:39] <QUINTIX256> need help:

[11:40] <Alarm> hello. when trying to upgrade the packages i get the following error: Err http://gr.archive.ubuntu.com edgy-backports/universe wine 0.9.30-0ubuntu2~edgy1
[11:40] <Alarm>   404 Not Found [IP: 147.102.222.211 80]  Get:1 http://www.getautomatix.com edgy/main automatix2 1.1-2.14-6.10edgy_i386 [196kB] 
[11:40] <Alarm> E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missin
[11:40] <Alarm> why is that happening
[11:40] <flaccid> Alarm: it means that package doesn't exist on the server
[11:41] <Alarm> well it happened also with automatix
[11:41] <jhutchins> Alarm: Maybe a bad mirror?
[11:41] <Alarm> well with 2 different packages ?
[11:41] <jhutchins> Alarm: When was the last time you updated the apt databases?
[11:41] <Alarm> 2 mins ago
[11:41] <jhutchins> apt-get update && apt-get upgrade?
[11:41] <Alarm> and then i did try the upgrade
[11:42] <flaccid> it probably doesn't exist on the gr. mirror or getautomatix.com
[11:42] <Alarm> and saw 2 packages available, but none of those two is being downloaded
[11:42] <flaccid> yeah so the packages dont exist on the server
[11:42] <jhutchins> Alarm: It's probably a mirroring problem with the servers, which means you'll just have to wait for it to work it's way out of the system.
[11:42] <Alarm> okie...
[11:43] <jhutchins> Alarm: Like the package list has been updated, but the actual packages haven't reached the server yet.
[11:43] <flaccid> so you change to a dif source that has them or you remove them
[11:45] <Alarm> one more question. when installing for example kdeartwork , it installs automatically. The following NEW packages will be installed:
[11:45] <Alarm>   kdeartwork kdeartwork-emoticons kdeartwork-misc kdeartwork-style kdeartwork-theme-icon... and some other packages, when removing with apt-get remove kdeartwork , will it also remove all those packages that has installed automatically or i need another command ?
[11:46] <Tm_T> Alarm: Nope.
[11:47] <Alarm> Tm_T,  nope, i dont need any other command, nop it will not remove all the packages? be more specific
[11:49] <jhutchins> Alarm: One way to be sure.
[11:49] <jhutchins> Make a list of the packages.  Run the command. See what happens. Remove the other packages if needed.
[11:49] <Alarm> okie
[11:50] <Tm_T> Alarm: It does remove only the artwork metapackage.
[11:50] <Alarm> Tm_T,  and what happens with the rest? how can i remove everything that was installed with that package as well ?
[11:51] <Tm_T> Alarm: Well, separately, yeah, it stinks, but that's how it works.
[11:51] <jhutchins> One-way link.
[11:51] <jhutchins> That ought to be fixed.
[11:52] <Alarm> okie, and a last question (i hope at least, also for ur own good :) ) , whats the difference between purge and remove
[11:52] <Tm_T> Alarm: Dunno how well does apt-get remind you those "now unneeded packages"
[11:52] <jetsaredim> I installed libdvdread3 and I don't have that script that's supposed to set everything up for you
[11:52] <Alarm> Tm_T,  apt-get autoremove . but that doesnt remove also things that have been installed with the another application
[11:52] <Tm_T> Alarm: Purge does take also config files etc
[11:52] <jetsaredim> nor can I read dvds
[11:53] <jetsaredim> if I can't get this shit figured out - I'm going back to gentoo
[11:53] <jetsaredim> this is crazy
[11:53] <Alarm> well, then purge cleans the system a bit more than remove...
[11:53] <cntb> whatsup matsavhalev_
[11:53] <jetsaredim> why can't I say that I want to install a given package and just get the right crap
[11:53] <Tm_T> Alarm: Yes it does.
[11:53] <coreire> i'm trying to run a driver installer. "sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.33.6.run". But am getting error "can't open ./ati-driver-installer-8.33.6.run". As far as i can remember i used to have to set some attribute to open these?
[11:54] <jhutchins> jetsaredim: You're dealing with the problems of working around the insane U.S. copyright/IP laws.
[11:54] <jetsaredim> why is it ubuntu foundation's problem if I install dvdcss
[11:54] <jhutchins> jetsaredim: The software to play a CSS encoded DVD on Linux is illegal in the U.S.  The guy who wrote it went to jail.
[11:54] <h3sp4wn> coreire: chmod +x
[11:54] <h3sp4wn> coreire: but you need to run it with bash not dash
[11:55] <jetsaredim> yea - i know that
[11:55] <jetsaredim> but why is it so damned hard to find the package
[11:55] <h3sp4wn> sh = dash
[11:55] <johny_> jetsaredim: is that true?
[11:55] <jetsaredim> what true?
[11:55] <jhutchins> jetsaredim: So ubuntu would rather concentrate on all the other things you can do with a linux PC than go to jail.
[11:55] <coreire> h3sp4wn:how do i use bash?
[11:55] <johny_> what's the guy's name?
[11:55] <jetsaredim> I'd like it to do desktop pc like things
[11:55] <thompa> my printer wont print and I am clueless?
[11:55] <h3sp4wn> coreire: instead of sh ./ just use bash ./
[11:56] <johny_> jetsaredim: what's the guy's name?
[11:56] <jetsaredim> I can gt this all working in gentoo in a couple days
[11:56] <coreire> ok, thanks a lot
[11:56] <jhutchins> jetsaredim: You can always do it yourself, it's just a matter of learning the right things.
[11:56] <jetsaredim> dvd jon
[11:56] <johny_> He's not in jail
[11:56] <jetsaredim> yea - no crap
[11:56] <thompa> laserjet-1018 ready, state job stopped...
[11:56] <jetsaredim> but I can't seem to find the information and no one on here seems to know either
[11:56] <jhutchins> jetsaredim: Many people have been able to get it to work in ubuntu too.  I haven't gone that far yet, because I don't watch encrypted DVD's on my kubuntu box, or my other workstation for that matter.
[11:56] <jetsaredim> I'll have to go to the forums
[11:57] <jhutchins> jetsaredim: I hate to make it seem like I'm blaming you, but you're probably asking the wrong questions.

[11:57] <jhutchins> jetsaredim: Yeah, have you read thost three?
[11:57] <jhutchins> (Well, the first two.)
[11:57] <jetsaredim> yes i have
[11:57] <jhutchins> Ok.
[11:57] <jetsaredim> but they don't mention feisty
[11:57] <jhutchins> Oh.
[11:58] <jhutchins> That's because feisty isn't finished yet.
[11:58] <jetsaredim> heaven forbid I want to use the latest version
[11:58] <jetsaredim> so I should install edgy?
[11:58] <jhutchins> If you want stuff to just work, go back to edgy.  Feisty is testing, it's available for people to find bugs in.
[11:58] <jetsaredim> hmm ok
[11:58] <jetsaredim> I'll try that
[11:58] <jetsaredim> I'll be back
[11:58] <jetsaredim> /q
[11:59] <jhutchins> Mandriva makes a pretty big point that the whole purpose of Cooker is to find bugs, and you should expect it to be broken.  Why doesn't ubuntu do the same?
[12:00] <h3sp4wn> It does
[12:01] <h3sp4wn> (To a point anyway - but it doesn't change as much as rawhide or cooker)
[12:01] <jhutchins> THe distros need to do that on their beryl packages too.
[12:01] <jhutchins> all the distros.
[12:02] <h3sp4wn> Waste of time beryl I think
[12:03] <Captain_Redbeard> Hmm silly question... if one install Fiesty Fawn Herd 3, which is womewhat an alpha release, and keep the system updated with the new packages that gets released will it thus "automagically" become stable once the "real deal" is released? I mean it should since you update all the packages all the time and such?
[12:03] <andre> h3sp4wn I disagree it has some very good features and enhancements
[12:03] <soul-shadow> Need help im trying to run fileshare to odify shares & says I need root access, I tell it login root acces & it still all greyed out
[12:03] <jhutchins> Captain_Redbeard: I believe it has worked that way in the past.
[12:03] <cntb> check this out http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6332441.stm
[12:04] <Captain_Redbeard> jhutchins: yea just what I was thinking...
[12:04] <jhutchins> Captain_Redbeard: That's one of the things about the named releases, as opposed to "devel" or "unstable"
[12:04] <cntb> on trial for using pirated PCs
[12:04] <cntb> they should install ten of thousands of linux boxes in schools
[12:05] <cntb> sorry for off-topic
[12:05] <Captain_Redbeard> Bah the mirror to fownload it is mad slow though :P
[12:05] <Captain_Redbeard> *download
[12:05] <jhutchins> cntb: You could have tried for a save by suggesting they use kubuntu...
[12:05] <jhutchins> Captain_Redbeard: Try another mirror.
[12:06] <Captain_Redbeard> jhutchins: there are none listed
[12:06] <jhutchins> !mirrors
[12:06] <ubotu> Kubuntu can be downloaded in various formats from here: http://kubuntu.org/download.php
[12:06] <phobiac> Do the gstreamer plugins and libxine-extracodecs packages work in kubuntu or do I need a different set of pacakages?
[12:06] <phobiac> packages*
[12:07] <Captain_Redbeard> I trust you've all seen http://youtube.com/watch?v=FVbf9tOGwno btw? :)
[12:07] <jhutchins> Hm.  A lot of the mirrors will also have feisty.

[12:08] <phobiac> Captain_Redbeard: I saw it, but I can't stand Opie and Anthony.
[12:08] <Captain_Redbeard> jhutchins: already checked those without any luck... or well not all of them obviously but a fair share of them
[12:10] <Captain_Redbeard> 50KB/sec :P and the torrent doesn't work >.<
[12:10] <Alarm> is there a way to change the colour of the fonts that are displayed in the taskbar (those that show the opened windows). as also if it is possible when rolling over of the applications,placed in the taskbar not to turn gray
