| kudar | it says it doesn't exist | 00:00 |
| stdin | kudar: make sure you run that after tar and in the /usr/src directory | 00:00 |
| WaltzingAlong | rob: and you might just as well follow the beta3 instructions | 00:00 |
| rob | WaltzingAlong, do you know of a link? | 00:00 |
| WaltzingAlong | rob: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-beta3.php | 00:00 |
| rob | WaltzingAlong, thanks :) | 00:00 |
| ScorpKing | Dragnslcr: do you know the name of the module? sudo modprobe <module> will load it. if it works add it to /etc/moduls so it's loaded at startup. | 00:00 |
| stdin | rob: the i386 packages are on kubuntu.org for Edgy, they are in universe for gutsy (with amd64 packages) | 00:01 |
| kudar | stdin: i did. and where does /usr/src come in to this? | 00:01 |
| rob | stdin, yeah following the link above, so there are amd64 packages which is good :D | 00:01 |
| stdin | kudar: because that's the place the archive of the source goes | 00:01 |
| * rob wonders if kde4 is socks-nocking-off better then kde3 yet | 00:02 | |
| stdin | rob: almost :p | 00:02 |
| rob | stdin, awesome.. I used to use Kde a long time ago and was hoping Kde4 might convince me to convert back :) | 00:03 |
| kudar | stdin: is this missing something | 00:03 |
| kudar | stdin: ln -s linux-source-2.6.22 /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/source | 00:03 |
| stdin | rob: it will be great, but it's not great right now | 00:03 |
| ScorpKing | Dragnslcr: lshw | less and look for multimedia. it will show you what device you have. | 00:04 |
| stdin | rob: not the packages anyway, from svn it's nice | 00:04 |
| Dragnslcr | ScorpKing- name of the module is what I'm trying to remember. It's an onboard nVidia sound chip | 00:04 |
| kudar | oh, not it isnt | 00:04 |
| Dragnslcr | ScorpKing- MCP55, to be specific | 00:05 |
| kudar | in the lib/modules/generic folder it says 'source' requires arguments | 00:06 |
| kudar | stdin: ^--- | 00:06 |
| kudar | its like im trying to put a link somewhere that doesn't exist | 00:07 |
| kudar | so you put a link in the archive of the source? | 00:07 |
| stdin | kudar: try "sudo ln -fs linux-source-2.6.22 /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/source" | 00:07 |
| stdin | or "sudo ln -fs /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.22 /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/source" | 00:08 |
| kudar | stdin: THAT WORKED@!#$ | 00:09 |
| stdin | good | 00:09 |
| kudar | stdin: what was the difference? | 00:09 |
| kudar | f? | 00:09 |
| stdin | -f forces it, overwrites a link that was already there | 00:10 |
| kudar | ok now here is the question | 00:10 |
| ScorpKing | Dragnslcr: does lsmod | grep mcp scow anything usefull? also run sudo updatedb and then locate mcp | grep .so and see if you can find the module. | 00:10 |
| ScorpKing | show* | 00:11 |
| kudar | stdin: now that i built the module. how do i know where to install the module | 00:11 |
| kudar | or will 'make install' take care of that for me | 00:11 |
| ScorpKing | Dragnslcr: good luck. i have to go. | 00:11 |
| stdin | "sudo make install" will | 00:11 |

| gribouille | stdin: but it is greyed. I can't select it | 00:24 |
| stdin | gribouille: then try opening konsole and do "sudo apt-get install firefox" (if there is an error then post it to the pastebin site linked in the topic) | 00:24 |

| ove | good night from denmark to all of you here... | 00:31 |
| gribouille | stdin: ok, thanks. just a little problem : the version of firefox I got is 2.0.0.6, while the latest firefox vresion is 2.0.0.8 | 00:32 |

| gribouille | stdin: are ubuntu packages more recent than debian packages ? | 00:35 |
| vzduch | gribouille: openSUSE is brandnew | 00:36 |
| BluesKaj | don't think there's much of a diff between the latest FF versions , other than plugging vulnerabilities running in windows | 00:36 |
| stdin | galathalion: avahi (not avahe) is the new name for zeroconf, it lets you participate in a network with no DHCP and no static addresses | 00:36 |
| vzduch | (well, Gutsy is too, but at the time of feature-freeze Firefox was 2.0.0.6, I guess | 00:36 |
| vzduch | ) | 00:36 |
| stdin | gribouille: ubuntu uses packages from debian unstable, then modifies some a bit | 00:36 |
| gribouille | stdin: so, they should be fairly recent | 00:37 |
| fluffman | yeah running a FF that's two versions behind is kinda :P | 00:37 |
| stdin | gribouille: yeah, there are certain rules about when a package can be updated. but generally you won't find a package more than a couple months out of date from the latest release | 00:37 |
| galathalion | stdin: how did it happen? | 00:38 |
| galathalion | stdin: never seen it before | 00:38 |
| stdin | galathalion: it happens when you get no offers from DHCP | 00:38 |
| BluesKaj | fluffman, don't think you'd even notive the diff | 00:38 |

| fluffman | true | 00:39 |

| WaltzingAlong | Kubuntu Gutsy is not shipping with compiz-fusion installed (or enabled). It can still be installed though. Follow the instructions for gutsy at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion | 00:41 |
| BluesKaj | i didn't like it at first either , but it's so stable and safe | 00:41 |
| fluffman | I guess I didn't play around in it much | 00:42 |
| WaltzingAlong | consistency is fairness | 00:42 |
| fluffman | but without adblock + noscript, it's going to take a lot to beat Firefox | 00:42 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, it takes a bit of tweaking and fooling around to get it right | 00:42 |
| BluesKaj | konq has adblock | 00:42 |

| WaltzingAlong | Not_Sure: other than asking here (too quickly, might i add) what have you tried? | 00:47 |
| fluffman | BluesKaj: ah, that's nice. Now if it could sync up my bookmarks with Firefox (which I use at work on my thumbdrive in windows), I would use it at home | 00:47 |

| Not_Sure | Ctrl + mouse wheel should produce zoom in/out effect | 00:50 |

| WaltzingAlong | gribouille: aptitude install apache ? | 00:52 |
| Not_Sure | WaltzingAlong: notepad2 in Windows is capable of that functionality | 00:52 |
| fluffman | Not_Sure: you can change the fonts size in kate by going to settings > configure > fonts & colors | 00:52 |
| gribouille | Package apache is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 00:53 |
| gribouille | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 00:53 |

| Not_Sure | fluffman: I am aware of the font size feature in Kate, however, I am looking for a keyboard shortcut such as ctrl+mouse wheel | 00:53 |
| gribouille | where can I get apache from ? | 00:53 |
| Not_Sure | WaltzingAlong: notepad2 in Windows implements that shortcut | 00:53 |
| WaltzingAlong | gribouille: aptitude install apache ? ah best search for it aptitude search apache | 00:54 |
| fluffman | why would you need that in a text editor? everything is using the same font...just set it and forget it :-\ | 00:54 |
| WaltzingAlong | gribouille: how about package apache2 | 00:54 |
| fluffman | sorry, I don't know of anything else | 00:54 |
| Not_Sure | Perhaps I ought to rephrase my question: what is the best text editor for programming that is available under KDE? | 00:55 |
| WaltzingAlong | vi / emacs here they come | 00:55 |
| WaltzingAlong | Not_Sure: kate/settings/configure shortcuts/ then you can define a key or combination thereof for in/decreasing the font size | 00:56 |
| angasule | WaltzingAlong: he wants an editor, not an OS | 00:56 |
| Lars_G | What's the name of gutsy's kde theme and icon theme etc? I think it wasn't applied correctly | 00:56 |
| fluffman | if you want a notepad replacement (and then some), go with kate | 00:56 |
| WaltzingAlong | :D | 00:56 |
| fluffman | otherwise vi is great | 00:56 |
| Not_Sure | fluffman: what does vi stand for and what is the 'apt-get' command to install it? | 00:57 |
| gribouille | WaltzingAlong: aptitude search apache yields p apache2 | 00:57 |
| fluffman | !vi | 00:57 |

| crimsun | Dragnslcr: then /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/updates/sound/pci/hda/snd-hda-intel.ko isn't relevant. Note that 2.6.22-14-generic != 2.6.22-14-386 | 01:33 |

| lavacano201014 | rcg1984: sudo chmod 777 /your/www/dir | 01:49 |
| Dragnslcr | rcg1984- you may need to use sudo. You usually want web files owned by a special user (sometimes www or www-data) | 01:50 |
| lavacano201014 | "sudo su www"? | 01:50 |
| Dragnslcr | lavacano201014- that would be a bit of a security problem, but go for it | 01:50 |

| lavacano201014 | then "sudo chmod 77? /your/www/dir" | 01:52 |
| Dragnslcr | rcg1984- never used Bluefish, so I dunno. Might be easiest to save the files to your home directory and then move/chown them afterwards | 01:52 |

| yago | Gun_Smoke, I have downloaded the iso for kubuntu, and my question is | 02:29 |
| yago | I have it burn on a CD o can I use the file without use a CD, using apt-adapter? | 02:30 |
| sam64 | what is the shortcut to temperaraly leave the GUI? | 02:31 |
| Gun_Smoke | yago: I think what you are asking is if you can update uding apt-get from CD not over the network. Is that correct? | 02:31 |
| alethes | sam64: ctrl-alt-F1 - ctrl-alt-F6 | 02:31 |
| sam64 | thanks | 02:31 |
| alethes | hmmm suppose I shoulda told him how to get back | 02:32 |
| yago | no, if I can update using the file, is that i dont have a cd for burning until tomorrow, that i can buy one | 02:32 |
| Gun_Smoke | yago: Yes you must burn it to CD to use the file you downloaded. | 02:33 |
| vbgunz | what is the default elevator argument in kubuntu grub? I've had cfq for a very long time. is it cfq? is it better? | 02:33 |
| yago | ok, now I undrestand! | 02:33 |
| yago | thank you Gun_Smoke | 02:34 |
| Gun_Smoke | yago: But if you are using 7.04 you do not need a CD for anything. | 02:34 |
| Gun_Smoke | yago: You can just use the update manager. | 02:34 |
| yago | why? | 02:34 |
| yago | but if i use update manager i need download the same, or no? | 02:35 |
| Gun_Smoke | You will download and install all upgrades the same way you download and install updates. For example when you do sudo apt-get update | 02:36 |
| yago | can i expecific a file? for this? | 02:37 |
| Gun_Smoke | yago: have you tried asking your question at #ubuntu-es ? | 02:37 |
| yago | yes | 02:37 |
| Gun_Smoke | No one around.. | 02:37 |
| yago | and I dont find nothing | 02:37 |
| Gun_Smoke | yago: Ok... hold on.. | 02:38 |
| yago | anyone sorry ;-(, but Gun_Smoke don't worry, tomorrow i'll buy a CD | 02:38 |
| Gun_Smoke | No need to spend money. This is easy.. You just need some code. | 02:38 |
| yago | can i use apt-get /home/yago/Desktop/kubuntu.iso | 02:39 |
| yago | or anything like this, I meant expecificand where is file iso? | 02:40 |
| Gun_Smoke | yago: No. have have good network connection? | 02:40 |
| alethes | if nothing else, couldn't he mount the ISO and extract the packages for apt? | 02:41 |
| yago | yes 300k/s | 02:41 |

| fulat2k | hi folks, i just upgraded to gutsy from feisty on a dell latitude d410. somehow the built in wifi pro/wirless 2200bg isn't working. but i can see that the ipw2200 module is loaded via dmesg. any ideas? | 03:10 |
| dystopianray | i have ipw2200 and it works without issues, i'm not sure why yours wouldn't be | 03:11 |
| jpwhiting | fulat2k: when I upgraded to gutsy my wireless was ra0 with feisty, but now it's wlan0_rename for some reason | 03:11 |
| dystopianray | jpwhiting: you can probably adjust a udev rule to fix that naming | 03:12 |
| Jucato | whoa! jpwhiting's in here!? O.o | 03:14 |
| * Jucato runs for cover | 03:14 | |
| fulat2k | jpwhiting: hmm.... in feisty it was eth1. how can i make sure? | 03:16 |

| ardchoille | AT0M1CB0MB3R: Sorry about earlier, I had an emergency here. | 03:18 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | ardchoille: i figured it out | 03:19 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | ardchoille: dont worry about it | 03:19 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | ardchoille: how do i disable DPMS? if you know.... | 03:19 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | Jucato: do you know how to disable DPMS? | 03:20 |
| Jucato | nope | 03:20 |
| jpwhiting | Jucato: why? I'm not going to try to motivate you to get back to kde dev ;-) | 03:20 |
| jpwhiting | fulat2k: eth1 was your wireless? | 03:20 |
| Jucato | haha :) | 03:20 |
| jpwhiting | dystopianray: I hope so | 03:20 |
| jpwhiting | it's annoying to have ra0 and wlan0_rename both | 03:21 |
| ardchoille | AT0M1CB0MB3R: lol, I don't even know what DPMS is | 03:21 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | never mind | 03:21 |

| jpwhiting | Jucato: are you a kubuntu dev also? | 03:24 |
| jpwhiting | or just help other poor souls with issues? | 03:24 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | my problem is that after leaving computer on for an hour or maybe 10 minutes my computer freezes and uses 100% CPU but if i take off all superkaramba themes except one (the CPU monitor) it will stay idle for hours to no end i jsut dont get it i really like the superkaramba themes too ive seen people having the same probem as me on google nobody had a fix what so ever | 03:24 |

| fulat2k | jpwhiting: i remember there's place where i can see where the interfaces are aliased as... | 03:28 |
| jpwhiting | fulat2k: in feisty knetworkmanager showed ra0 but it now doesn't show any interfaces at all | 03:29 |

| fulat2k | jpwhiting: nopes. everything is auto | 03:34 |
| mneptok | AT0M1CB0MB3R: when an open source app does not work the way you want, you have 3 options. - 1. fix it yourself. - 2. file a coherent and salient bug report and track its progress. - 3. don't use that app. | 03:35 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | mneptok: whats up with the autoremove | 03:35 |

| soulwarp | can anyone recommend a decent torrent program other than ktorrent? | 04:36 |
| soulwarp | open source | 04:36 |
| ubunturos | bittorrent, and Ktorrent come with kubuntu | 04:36 |
| soulwarp | i used to like ktorrent untill they took the options to select seperate files to download from torrents that provide multiple files | 04:39 |
| soulwarp | in the new kubuntu upgrade | 04:39 |
| === Jucato_ is now known as Jucato | ||
| Dr_willis | Hmm... | 04:50 |
| Dr_willis | soulwarp, clarify that a bit? I can select sepreate files from torrents... | 04:50 |
| Dr_willis | i can tag them to not be downloaded, or first, last, ect.. | 04:50 |
| soulwarp | <Dr_willis>the client changes since 7.04-7.10 transition | 04:51 |
| soulwarp | <Dr_willis>not sure where it's now located | 04:51 |
| strtok | hey, anyone know how to turn off touchpad tap mouse clicks ? (where if you tap the pad, it's a mouse click) | 04:51 |
| Dr_willis | using 7.10 right now. Ive not noticed any changes. But i dont use a lot of the options | 04:51 |
| strtok | i've found it's wayyy too sensitive | 04:51 |
| Dr_willis | strtok, thers some synaptic touch pad tools | 04:51 |
| strtok | Dr_willis: tpconfig and gsynaptics? | 04:53 |
| Hoondie | hey people, whats the command to access the restricted drivers application? | 04:54 |
| soulwarp | <Hoondie>you will have to change your repository in your adept package manager | 04:55 |
| soulwarp | <Hoondie>look for the unchecked options | 04:55 |
| ray_ | Hey... I have kind of a weird question | 04:55 |
| Hoondie | soulwarp: i thought it came with gutsy? | 04:55 |
| ray_ | Will kernels from other distros work if I compile them? | 04:56 |
| ray_ | Like, if I use a Gentoo kernel with Kubuntu on top of it | 04:56 |
| soulwarp | <Hoondie>the repository is there, it's just unchecked by default | 04:56 |
| Dr_willis | !find synaptics | 04:56 |
| ubotu | Found: xserver-xorg-input-synaptics, gsynaptics, ksynaptics, libsynaptics-dev, libsynaptics0 (and 2 others) | 04:56 |
| Dr_willis | Hoondie, i normally install /use 'restricted-manager' tool | 04:57 |
| Dr_willis | ray_, why do you need to do this? | 04:57 |
| Dr_willis | !kernel | 04:57 |
| ubotu | kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel. You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild. Also, see !stages | 04:57 |
| soulwarp | maybe he is bored :) | 04:58 |
| ray_ | It's just that I don't like the kubuntu kernel | 04:59 |
| === mrblobby123 is now known as SSJ | ||
| Dr_willis | or into S&M | 04:59 |
| Dr_willis | ray_, well thats.. vague. :) | 04:59 |
| Hoondie | Dr_willis: thanks, installing now :) | 04:59 |
| ray_ | I don't like how large the resolution is set in the boot and that there is no color. Ubuntu's kernel seems to have removed the options to change it. | 05:00 |
| Dr_willis | large the res in the boot? You mean the framebuffer settings? | 05:00 |
| Alethes | Failure registering capabilities with primary security module. <-- I get this error when I try to start bind9 | 05:00 |
| Alethes | what's giving me this error? | 05:00 |
| Dr_willis | i always totally disable framebuffer. :) | 05:00 |
| soulwarp | he means the login menu i think | 05:00 |
| ray_ | Yes, the login menu, but also the messages when it's booting up | 05:01 |
| ray_ | and just everything not in x | 05:01 |
| soulwarp | sometimes the login menu is larger than the desktop resolution settings | 05:01 |
| soulwarp | i noticed that too | 05:01 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. Thats because the USER can have their own X resolution setting. Im not aware of this being a kernel issue at all. | 05:02 |
| Dr_willis | you can set the default res in the xorg.conf and kdm will use that. | 05:02 |
| ray_ | In the Gentoo kernel (and I'm assuming the vanilla kernel) there was an option to choose that resolution...but I can't find it in the ubuntu kernel | 05:02 |
| Dr_willis | well have fun :) | 05:02 |
| ray_ | I'm not talking about in the x server | 05:03 |
| Dr_willis | I dont think gentoo uses a vanilla kernel. And ym not sure what ya mean by Login menu then. If you are nor refering to KDM. | 05:03 |
| ray_ | ctrl-alt-f1 | 05:04 |
| ray_ | bash | 05:04 |
| Dr_willis | ray_, thats just the consoles.. if you are using the framebuffer you can set the res of that on the fly | 05:04 |
| Dr_willis | !info fbset | 05:04 |
| ubotu | fbset: framebuffer device maintenance program. In component main, is optional. Version 2.1-19ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 100 kB, installed size 324 kB | 05:04 |
| juan | hi! | 05:04 |
| ray_ | Oh thanks : ) | 05:04 |
| ray_ | I guess I just haven't found it yet | 05:04 |
| ray_ | lo | 05:05 |
| Dr_willis | and the kernel option to set those is like vga=791 or similer | 05:05 |
| Dr_willis | I always use the 'nofb' option to totally disable the framebuffer and give me a 'old fashined' console screen | 05:05 |
| juan | does anyone know how to tell adept installer to stop reminding me about one specific package | 05:05 |
| slimjimflim_ | hi. i lost my "start button" how do i get it back? | 05:05 |
| * Dr_willis rembers when the framebuffer was cutting edge and everyone had these high hopes for it.. now it seems its just used for purty splash type screens. | 05:05 | |
| ray_ | info fbset | 05:06 |
| ray_ | oh whoops | 05:06 |
| Dr_willis | slimjimflim_, right click on the panel and use the 'add to panel item' | 05:06 |
| slimjimflim_ | i mean i lost the kmenu | 05:06 |
| Dr_willis | add applet to panel ---> Kmenu | 05:07 |
| slimjimflim_ | you mean 'add new panel'? | 05:07 |
| Dr_willis | i mean 'add applet to panel' :) | 05:07 |
| Dr_willis | The K menu is just one of many panel applets. | 05:08 |
| juan | dr willis is a very fast typer | 05:08 |
| Dr_willis | add the 'settings applet' also - Its my Fave. :) | 05:08 |
| Dr_willis | juan, yep. :) and some times i even spell things right | 05:09 |
| slimjimflim_ | ok, thanks | 05:09 |
| Dr_willis | whats amazing is how i type.. i got full use of my left hand.. but the right hand i use one finger to type with.. since i broke the hand years ago.. | 05:09 |
| Dr_willis | and cant wiggle the fngers sideways as much. :) | 05:09 |
| juan | Dr_willis, do you know by any chance jow to tell my adept manager to stop reminding me about a specific program? | 05:10 |
| Dr_willis | really really got my 'typing' teacher mad. :) | 05:10 |
| Dr_willis | I rarely use adept manager. sorry cant help ya there. Whats its reminding you to do? | 05:10 |
| slimjimflim_ | i also have a problem where my resolution gets reset whenever i restart x, maybe off-topic, but is there a kde setting for that? | 05:10 |
| Dr_willis | slimjimflim_, thats odd. the xorg.conf sets the resolutions. You could set the default res in there. | 05:10 |
| Dr_willis | !fixres | 05:10 |
| ubotu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 05:10 |

| juan | to upgrade freepops, but if i do, i wont be able to use "localhost" it doesnt connect to it with that version | 05:11 |
| Dr_willis | xorg.conf often dosent need the info. | 05:11 |

| Dr_willis | set up a different name for the machine in the hosts file that points to 127.0.0.1 perhaps. | 05:12 |
| Dr_willis | or use its actual ip# | 05:12 |

| juan | yeah, that i know | 05:15 |
| juan | but how do i use my actual ip? | 05:15 |
| Dr_willis | 127.0.0.1 localhost | 05:15 |
| Dr_willis | 192.168.1.101 mythbox | 05:15 |
| soulwarp | <DaveQB>it may be a restricted module, check your repositories | 05:15 |
| Dr_willis | My actual ip is in my hosts file (i put it there) with the mythbox name :) thats the name of this machine | 05:15 |
| Dr_willis | Yours may have your machine name and 127.0.0.1 | 05:16 |
| juan | really? i vae to put mythbox? | 05:16 |
| juan | have | 05:16 |
| Dr_willis | No... You PUT IN your machines name | 05:16 |
| Dr_willis | and your IP | 05:16 |
| juan | and where do i find out my machines name? | 05:17 |
| Dr_willis | you can set up all sorts of names in the hosts file if you want ted to. | 05:17 |
| Dr_willis | what name did ya gibe it at install? what do ya see on your bash prompt? | 05:17 |
| Dr_willis | try the hostname command. :) | 05:17 |
| Dr_willis | check the hosts file also.. it should be in there. | 05:17 |
| dedi | i have a very high cpu usage on wa ( = iowait), how can i find out how this is caused? | 05:17 |

| slimjimflim | Dr_willis, that didn't work | 05:34 |

| Dr_willis | slimjimflim, you did change ALL the entrys that had those 3 modes? | 05:35 |

| dennister | <-----had lots of probs, now mainly fixed | 05:35 |
| Dr_willis | really ya just need to change the one thats being used with your color depth. | 05:35 |
| Dr_willis | DefaultDepth 24 | 05:35 |
| Dr_willis | so you need to change the one under | 05:36 |

| slimjimflim | yea, i changed all of them | 05:36 |
| Dr_willis | I make a script that has 'sudo apt-get .... ' :) and i keep them handy for othe rmachines | 05:36 |
| Dr_willis | slimjimflim, the user can also set their res. could be its overriding the default.. but if theres only 1 default dont see how you are using anything OTHER then 1024x768 | 05:37 |
| Dr_willis | what res are you wanting to use? and what one are you using? | 05:37 |

| sd32 | dr_willis,thanks | 05:39 |
| Dr_willis | slimjimflim, try making a new user - see if it affects them also. | 05:39 |

| slimjimflim | which i'm doing again now | 05:42 |
| Dr_willis | thats very weird.... | 05:42 |
| dennister | slimjimflim: sorry if i'm getting into your situation late, but what is your video card? i ask 'cause i had the same problem with a very old riva tnt2 card | 05:42 |
| iRnerdK | i think it was nvidia from what i saw in his pastebin | 05:43 |

| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 05:45 |
| iRnerdK | <elliott541a>also check your volume in mkix | 05:45 |
| iRnerdK | kmix* | 05:45 |
| elliott541a | Volume is up, sound system is enabled | 05:46 |
| sd32 | I have a ati 9600 pro in here now but only have a 200 watt power supply, wonder what the fastest card I could use is? | 05:47 |
| elliott541a | It would a be a lot cheaper to buy a new power supply than it would a new graphics card, I think | 05:47 |
| iRnerdK | <sd32>if you want accelerated graphics i think 300 | 05:48 |
| dennister | sd32: i concur with elliott541a...you'll eventually need another PS anyway | 05:48 |
| iRnerdK | + | 05:48 |
| iRnerdK | would be better | 05:48 |
| sd32 | its a small hp case I cant upgrade the power in | 05:48 |
| dennister | the newer video cards all want 6pin ps connectors...most 1+ yr-old PS's don't thave these 6pin connectors | 05:49 |
| iRnerdK | i've had a case like that, PS was hard to get to. i had to removed the ram and the cd drive to get to it | 05:50 |
| dennister | brb | 05:50 |
| Dr_willis | sd32, id stick with a low end fanless nvidia card. :) | 05:51 |
| dennister | slimjimflim: what kind of nvidia card do u have? the pastebin didn't say | 05:51 |
| sd32 | it was hp's glory days to make you upgrade sooner | 05:51 |
| slimjimflim | Dr_willis, when i log in w/ my new user, the screen flashes and brings me back to the kdm login screen | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | sd32, you can get a nice one for like $40 | 05:51 |
| slimjimflim | it's an nvidia geforce 4 i think | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | slimjimflim, thats getting real weird. | 05:51 |
| sd32 | that sounds good, thanks everyone!! | 05:52 |
| sd32 | dr_willis, thanks | 05:52 |
| dennister | slimok, not the same card & prob i solved then | 05:52 |
| slimjimflim | i did as root, useradd <a user>, passwd <that user>...<password> | 05:52 |
| slimjimflim | was able to su to that user from console | 05:53 |
| Dr_willis | try 'startx' as that user see if theres any error messages | 05:53 |
| Dr_willis | try it as root and the inital user also. | 05:53 |
| slimjimflim | i'm gonna try from a different tty, and keep this one running | 05:54 |
| Dr_willis | Theres some real weirdness going on with this setup. Your xorg.conf seems right. | 05:54 |
| Dr_willis | and its very simple etup | 05:54 |
| slimjimflim | idk | 05:54 |
| needles_ | where might i find the package libpurple0 for feisty, needed to install the gfire plugin for pidgin | 05:54 |
| Dr_willis | !find purple | 05:55 |
| ubotu | Found: libpurple-bin, libpurple-dev, libpurple0 | 05:55 |
| Dr_willis | !find purple feisty | 05:55 |
| ubotu | File purple found in jpilot | 05:55 |
| needles_ | ive found it for gutsy | 05:55 |
| Jucato | Dr_willis: I doubt purple would be in feisty, since Pidgin isn't | 05:55 |
| Dr_willis | looks like it dosent exist in feissty. have to use the source | 05:55 |
| needles_ | but i havent upgraded yet | 05:55 |
| Dr_willis | or just upgrade. :) | 05:56 |
| needles_ | Dr_willis : yeah, i compiled pidgin from source | 05:56 |
| needles_ | Dr_willis : im thinking i may | 05:56 |
| needles_ | is it safe? | 05:56 |
| needles_ | ive been debating whether or not to do so | 05:56 |
| Dr_willis | If you dident have that libpurple hen you compiled.. you may need to install it and recompile. | 05:56 |
| Dr_willis | I always do clean installs :) | 05:56 |
| dennister | isn't pidgin great? better than kopete...and gutsy's dolphin is so much better than konq or the dolphin i had with feisty | 05:56 |
| needles_ | dennister : pidgin is great | 05:56 |
| * Dr_willis pukes on Dolphin and stuffs it into Tuna Cans | 05:57 | |
| Dr_willis | First thing i do.. set Konqueror back to the default filemanager | 05:57 |
| Jucato | (kde4's dolphin is 10x much better than gutsy's... which isn't really dolphin) | 05:57 |
| dennister | but Dr_willis: why?!!! | 05:57 |
| Dr_willis | dennister, because i USE the features in Konqueror thats not in dolphin. | 05:57 |
| dennister | i can't wait for kde4...i want arts out! | 05:57 |
| Dr_willis | I dont see much in dolphin that i need. that benifites me | 05:58 |
| Jucato | dennister: arts has been only an optional dependency in KDE since 3.5.x | 05:58 |
| sd32 | kde4 is in december correct? | 05:58 |
| needles_ | ok, its official, im going to upgrade | 05:58 |
| needles_ | !upgrade | 05:58 |
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 05:58 |
| Jucato | unfortunately, most binary distros opt to make it required | 05:58 |
| iRnerdK | yay :D | 05:58 |
| dennister | heheheh...well gutsy's dolphin is still kinda new to me, i like how i can actually start it with the details view instead of icons | 05:58 |
| needles_ | kde4 looks promising | 05:58 |
| dennister | <-------hates! icon-based file managers | 05:58 |
| Dr_willis | You can set Konqueror to start in detail views.. | 05:58 |
| * Jucato loves icons in file manglers :) | 05:59 | |
| Jucato | er.. managers... | 05:59 |
| * needles_ likes to set it based on the folders contents | 05:59 | |
| Jucato | konq could do that too | 05:59 |
| iRnerdK | i like dolphin | 05:59 |
| Jucato | but thanks to Kubuntu's menu handling... it's not so easy | 05:59 |
| iRnerdK | something different | 05:59 |
| dennister | well. i loved the old dos xtree gold, so... | 05:59 |
| Dr_willis | i tend to use 'mc' for my needs. :) | 06:00 |
| Jucato | konq can do that too! | 06:00 |
| dennister | yes, i tried to get konq to open and use tree or details as the default view, but it was frustrating | 06:00 |
| Jucato | er.. am I beginning to repeat myself? :P | 06:00 |
| Dr_willis | fustrating? set the default profile? | 06:00 |
| Jucato | dennister: not really frustrating... | 06:00 |
| Jucato | but Kubuntu took out 2 very useful menu entries from the Settings menu | 06:01 |
| Jucato | (and removed the whole Window menu) | 06:01 |
| Dr_willis | Yea - i dislike it when the disrtos remove features like that. | 06:01 |
| Jucato | (and Go menu) | 06:01 |
| Dr_willis | wonder how to replace those | 06:01 |
| dennister | well, Dr_willis i tried that, but i never pretended to be as experienced as you are | 06:01 |
| dennister | Jucato: which menu entries r u talking about? | 06:02 |
| === klien08 is now known as co_extreme | ||
| Jucato | dennister: hm? just change the View mode then Save View Profile | 06:02 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 06:02 |
| dennister | oops | 06:02 |
| Jucato | "Save View Changes Per Folder" and "Remove Folder Properties" in the Settings menu | 06:02 |
| Jucato | the first one allows you to set a different View mode per folder | 06:02 |
| Dr_willis | Thers was a extra profiles settings ya could set up also. at one time | 06:02 |
| dennister | well, i've got dolphin now...and it will help me get my linux-resisting son to be more receptive :) | 06:03 |
| Jucato | yep | 06:03 |
| === franco is now known as Benve | ||
| dennister | worthy goal, eh? | 06:03 |
| Jucato | hahah | 06:03 |
| === rob1 is now known as rob | ||
| Dr_willis | I still dont see much that dolphin.. unless you perfer the 'less is more' thing... | 06:03 |
| Jucato | ironcially, it was Konqueror that made more receptive to KDE :D | 06:03 |
| Jucato | Dr_willis: it's a powerful tool for simple uses | 06:03 |
| Jucato | not really for everyone | 06:03 |
| Jucato | just as Konqueror isn't for everyone | 06:03 |
| Dr_willis | we all should use mc !@ ;) | 06:03 |
| needles_ | i like konq for file browsing, but not as web surfing | 06:04 |
| iRnerdK | try ubuntu ;p | 06:04 |
| Jucato | yay for choice! :P | 06:04 |
| needles_ | for* | 06:04 |
| === co_extreme is now known as klien08 | ||
| Dr_willis | I just dont see what the hype is about dolphin. of coourse there are those dolphin bugs people keep comming in with... | 06:04 |
| Jucato | iRnerdK: no thanks. I'm insane enough as it is :D | 06:04 |
| Jucato | Dr_willis: there's no hype.. there's lots of anti-hype in fact | 06:04 |
| Dr_willis | give me Krusader! ;) | 06:04 |
| Dr_willis | !info krusader | 06:04 |
| Jucato | and you have to differentiate dolphin (KDE4) from d3lphin | 06:04 |
| ubotu | krusader: twin-panel (commander-style) file manager for KDE (and other desktops). In component universe, is optional. Version 1.80.0-1 (gutsy), package size 3102 kB, installed size 8736 kB | 06:05 |
| dennister | yes, choice is what makes it so strong...and some newbies (like my kid) need less is more | 06:05 |
| Dr_willis | Jucato, just what we need.. more confisuing names! :) | 06:05 |
| Jucato | Dr_willis: not dolphiin's fault | 06:05 |
| dennister | yes Dr_willis i had krusader for awhile (still might) i very much liked how it was so much like xtree gold | 06:05 |
| Jucato | Read: http://enzosworld.gmxhome.de/download.html and See: https://marrat.homelinux.org/D3lphin | 06:05 |
| Dr_willis | Dolphin-Fuzion! thats what we need! | 06:05 |
| Jucato | won't happen. The real Dolphin is too much Qt4/KDE4 | 06:06 |
| dennister | but because it would only run as root, i felt it was more dangerous for the kiddies/newbs | 06:06 |
| Jucato | d3lphin won't be able to merge... | 06:06 |
| iRnerdK | what's next? manatee file manager? | 06:06 |
| Dr_willis | krusader in no way should 'only' run as root. | 06:06 |
| * Jucato would go for mantaray | 06:06 | |
| iRnerdK | lol | 06:06 |
| * Jucato always found ray's fascinating... | 06:06 | |
| dennister | well id did run with root, and i was too lazy to figure out how to change that feature | 06:07 |
| iRnerdK | pidgins are cool | 06:07 |
| Dr_willis | if you user ran it.. then it should of ran as the user running it.. | 06:07 |
| * iRnerdK looks at his messanger | 06:07 | |
| Gun_Smoke | I killed kubuntu today... | 06:08 |
| dennister | wehen i started krusader, it asked me for password...like i said, too much work to get it configured differently | 06:08 |
| Dr_willis | password? Hmm.. somthing seems confused here... | 06:08 |
| * Jucato arrests Gun_Smoke | 06:08 | |
| dennister | hahah | 06:09 |
| * Dr_willis instals krusader and checks it out... | 06:09 | |
| * Dr_willis thinks it may be a PEBKAC :) | 06:09 | |
| === nix is now known as _nix_ | ||
| dennister | PEBKAC? translation? | 06:09 |
| Dr_willis | Problem exists between Keyboard and Chair. | 06:10 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 06:10 |
| sd32 | lol | 06:10 |
| hellhound | how can I have KDE remember a window's location on the dektop? | 06:10 |
| _nix_ | hello everyone.. I just installed kubuntu 7.10 and I think I chose the wrong keyboard layout in the alternate installer. Is there a way to fix this? | 06:10 |
| dennister | ahhhh.... i'd seen taht acronym b4 | 06:10 |
| Dr_willis | hellhound, right click on the titlebar - look under the 'advanced' settings - you can tweak all sorts of that stuff | 06:10 |
| Gun_Smoke | Jucato: I remember you from earlier...... I've been with u/k-buntu for a while now.. | 06:11 |
| Jucato | oooh | 06:11 |
| needles_ | _nix_ : xserver-xorg edit | 06:11 |
| Jucato | [13:10] <Jucato> right-click on the window titlebar -> Advanced -> SPecial Window Settings | 06:11 |
| Jucato | [13:11] <hellhound> Jucato: i do not have that option when i right click the titlebar | 06:11 |
| needles_ | i forgot the real command, my memory fails me | 06:11 |
| Jucato | hellhound: press Alt+F3? | 06:11 |
| Jucato | hellhound: unless you're using something like Compiz? | 06:11 |
| needles_ | can someone tell _nix_ the command | 06:12 |
| _nix_ | Ill try that out.. couldnt type the single quote thing.. | 06:12 |
| hellhound | Jucato: yes i am using compiz | 06:12 |
| Jucato | !xconfig | needles_ | 06:12 |
| ubotu | needles_: 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 | 06:12 |
| Jucato | hellhound: that's the problem then :) | 06:12 |
| needles_ | _nix_ : ---^ | 06:12 |
| Jucato | you'll have to check if compiz has that kind of setting/features | 06:12 |
| Jucato | hellhound: #compiz-fusion | 06:12 |
| hellhound | Jucato: i take there is no way around then? | 06:12 |
| dennister | hellhound: then alt+f2 will give you a command bar, type in ccms | 06:12 |
| needles_ | !xconfig | _nix_ | 06:12 |
| ubotu | _nix_: 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 | 06:12 |
| Gun_Smoke | But it busted for know reason after a logout and there was a pcBSD sitting right next to ubuntu.. BSD is winning.. I don't know anything about it... But so far it's been even easier then buntu | 06:12 |
| xevious | hellhound: i had compiz set so that it should remember the location of windows, and it didn't | 06:12 |
| Jucato | hellhound: there is *if* compiz has that feature | 06:13 |
| _nix_ | thanks a lot | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis | those are some the tough choices with compiz or not... :) | 06:13 |
| * xevious ditched compiz and waits for kde4 | 06:13 | |
| hellhound | dennister: ccms "could not run the specified command" | 06:13 |
| needles_ | !upgrade | 06:13 |
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 06:13 |
| dennister | hellhound: sorry! the command is ccsm | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis | yet another brilantly named command. :) | 06:14 |
| dennister | lots of ways to tweak compiz with that one | 06:14 |
| Jucato | compiz c_____ settings manager? | 06:15 |
| Gun_Smoke | Anyhow.... What else is breaking and not working in k? | 06:15 |
| _nix_ | umm sorry but that just reconfigured the video settings.. but there was nothing that allowed me to choose a new keyboard layout! :-( | 06:15 |
| sd32 | <---was finally able to fully turn off ipv6 with the blacklist command...phew!!! | 06:15 |
| xevious | Jucato: replace _____ with rap | 06:15 |
| Jucato | xevious: hahaha | 06:16 |
| * Gun_Smoke Needs a restart (kernel update) hold that thought........ | 06:16 | |
| Jucato | _nix_: which command did you use? | 06:16 |
| _nix_ | jucato: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 06:16 |
| Jucato | hm.. it should ask you for the keyboard layout at the very beginning | 06:16 |
| needles_ | how long does it take to upgrade from feisty to gutsy? | 06:16 |
| dennister | needles_: when it finally did work for me, about 3 hours | 06:17 |
| needles_ | hmm | 06:17 |
| needles_ | i guess ill wake up to it then | 06:17 |
| hellhound | dennister: do you know of a way to tell it fix window placement of a certain application? | 06:17 |
| dennister | no almost 4 hrs | 06:17 |
| xevious | mine took about 3 | 06:17 |
| Jucato | hellhound: you might want to ask in #compiz-fusion how to do that... | 06:18 |
| dennister | hellhound: sorry, i'm still very new to compiz, was starting work on it earlier, so that's why i remembered the ccsm stuff | 06:18 |
| needles_ | dennister : what problems did you have | 06:18 |
| xevious | hellhound: #compiz-fusion can help you better, but i think it was making sure "Place windows" is enabled and setting it to smart placement | 06:18 |
| xevious | hellhound: but it didn't work no matter what i tried, so i gave up on compiz | 06:19 |
| dennister | hellhound: this is a very basic howto; it won't tell you what specifically you want to know now: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion | 06:19 |
| hellhound | Jucato & dennister: thank you | 06:19 |
| _nix_ | jucato: oh.. k I had to type the keyboard layout there.. thanks. I was looking for something more in the lines of what I saw in the alternate installer. | 06:19 |
| dennister | needles_: first, with my repositories, the canadian server was having probs | 06:19 |
| Gun_Smoke | !upgrade | 06:19 |
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 06:19 |
| Dr_willis | compiz has more tweakd and tools and thangs.. :) | 06:19 |
| dennister | i changed them to us server, and things were much better and faster | 06:19 |
| Jucato | _nix_: you mean like the one in System Settings -> Regional & Language? | 06:20 |
| * xevious goes to find food | 06:20 | |
| dennister | then, when all the fetching got done, it disappeared, and i didn't realize the fetching had only loaded them into adept | 06:20 |
| _nix_ | jucato: yeah kinda' but its working now. I can type the single qoute thing.. some of my online passwords had this. thanks a lot. | 06:21 |
| Angelus | no wonder why the splashcreen doesn't appear on kubuntu gutsy amd64, the vesafb module is not compiled... | 06:21 |
| dennister | needles_: then adept crashed as soon as i tried to install those getched updates, and i had to finish it via the shell | 06:21 |
| Dr_willis | I think there were a lot of issues with the vesafb stuff befor.. so they removed it. :) | 06:21 |
| dennister | *fetched updates | 06:21 |
| dennister | needles_: with me so far? :P | 06:22 |
| Angelus | Dr_willis: and make people stay with a monitor turned off insteaf of a splash screen? nice | 06:22 |
| Dr_willis | I always disable the lame splash so i can see the messages | 06:23 |
| Dr_willis | i disable the framebuffer also. | 06:23 |
| Dr_willis | cant say that ive seen the monitor be 'off' | 06:23 |
| Jucato | Dr_willis: I wish I could have both, just like the old usplash from Breezy | 06:23 |
| Jucato | and Dapper (iirc) | 06:23 |
| Dr_willis | I recall a few disrtos that had a purty boot screen AND the messages in the bottom half. | 06:23 |
| Dr_willis | thats the best of both worlds i guess. :) | 06:23 |
| Jucato | *buntu used to have too | 06:23 |
| Dr_willis | then ya got the ones that put ugly gfx on the consoles and take up space. :) | 06:24 |
| Angelus | so now i have to compile a custom kernel everytime to get bootup splash. nice :O | 06:24 |
| dennister | i like the backdrop from gentoo for my grub menu...quite purty | 06:24 |
| Dr_willis | Angelus, the humanity of it all... | 06:24 |
| Dr_willis | the things people do for eyecandy. :() | 06:24 |
| Angelus | lol | 06:24 |
| Angelus | im addicted to eyecandy | 06:24 |
| Angelus | :P | 06:25 |
| Dr_willis | Im addicted to stability and being informed. :) | 06:25 |
| Angelus | but Dr_willis still | 06:25 |
| dennister | heheheh...i don't care for eye candy myself, but i'm forcing myself to care for the convincing-my-son goal | 06:25 |
| Jucato | I'm addicted to what I personally consider as useful/helpful eyecandy | 06:25 |
| dennister | give my kid a cool look...and he's instantly sold | 06:25 |
| Dr_willis | I under stand more and more why Kubuntu dident put Compiz in by default. :) | 06:25 |
| Jucato | that is, eyecandy that isn't (imho) senseless (wobbly windows?!?!) | 06:25 |
| Jucato | the reason is more technical though :) | 06:26 |
| xevious | i liked expo | 06:26 |
| Angelus | Dr_willis: by default kubuntu-desktop install the bootup splash, which people on a computer like mine will get the monitor turned off instead of the splash because there is no vesafb module, its not good like that:p | 06:26 |
| Dr_willis | wait for about a year from now - when every kid has some compiz addons for more eyecandy | 06:26 |
| xevious | but compiz crashed my X server about every 20 minutes | 06:26 |
| Angelus | i love compiz | 06:26 |
| Jucato | xevious: that's one useful, sensible eyecandy :) | 06:26 |
| xevious | Jucato: Zoom was also useful | 06:27 |
| Dr_willis | Angelus, marry it then. :) | 06:27 |
| Jucato | xevious: another one :) | 06:27 |
| Angelus | if i didn't have a girlfriend, i would. | 06:27 |
| Angelus | :p | 06:27 |
| xevious | Jucato: and the drawing fire on the desktop one! | 06:27 |
| Jucato | the cube is semi-useful only. the desktop grid/wall is much more sensible for me | 06:27 |
| * Dr_willis now pronounces you Eyecandy and User. | 06:27 | |
| iRnerdK | i tryed beryl | 06:27 |
| iRnerdK | wasn't bad | 06:27 |
| Angelus | try compiz-fusion | 06:27 |
| Angelus | :p | 06:27 |
| Dr_willis | I dont find the cube usefull at all.. it dont work/look too good with - dual monitors. | 06:27 |
| iRnerdK | k :P | 06:27 |
| Angelus | Dr_willis: i make the cube turn everytime i change from program to program | 06:28 |
| Angelus | its c00l | 06:28 |
| xevious | Jucato: actually funny story, i was filling out the FAFSA, and the page wouldn't search for my school. just wouldn't do anything when i clicked search. so i drew a line of fire underneath it and tried again and it worked | 06:28 |
| Jucato | Dr_willis: semi-useful only... in the sense that it gives the user a visual metaphor of an otherwise abstract "multiple desktops" | 06:28 |
| xid | hmm... I enabled dual screen in the display settings and now it boots to a command prompt, I type startx and it says "Requested Entity already in use"... how do I revert to original settings? | 06:28 |
| needles_ | is my system going to have to be restarted while i upgrade? | 06:28 |
| iRnerdK | i never used the cube, but when you move the mouse to the upper right it puts all the windows at your reach in a thumbnail type deal | 06:28 |
| Jucato | iRnerdK: expose | 06:29 |
| Dr_willis | expose donmt work too good with dual monitors either | 06:29 |
| dennister | Angelus: i need to learn how to do that. make the cube do things...having some trouble with the CompizConfig Settings Manager tho | 06:29 |
| Jucato | Dr_willis: not everyone has dual monitors (and therefore not everyone has headaches) :P | 06:29 |

| needles_ | dennister : ah, i see | 06:30 |
| dennister | needles_: oops! sorry | 06:30 |
| dennister | not during the upgrade, after it's finished | 06:30 |
| needles_ | dennister : ah | 06:30 |
| dennister | you'll want to reboot into the new kernel the upgrade provides | 06:30 |
| needles_ | because i want to watch a movie | 06:30 |
| Angelus | dennister: easy, make 6 desktops, and reduce the turning speed of the rotate cube "accalaratio and speed options reduce them" . and open a program on a each desktop instead off all programs in 1 desktop, and when you swtich from 1 to other you'll have a nice cube turning everytime :p | 06:31 |

| dennister | well gnome said to close all apps, but when it did work for me i refused to close other apps and do nothing...it was fine to do other stuff | 06:31 |
| xid | hmm... I can't boot my machine. It boots to a command prompt and says "requested entity already in use" ever since I enabled dual displays | 06:31 |
| Jucato | apparle: install build-essential. then for .c (C code) "gcc filename.c -o what_you_want_the_program_to_be_called" | 06:31 |
| xid | how do I revert to single display? | 06:31 |
| Jucato | apparle: for .cpp (C++ code), use g++ instead of gcc | 06:31 |
| apparle | Jucato: Give me an example | 06:31 |
| dennister | Angelus: thank you...do you have a half decent howto to fully explain the CompizConfig Settings Manager, how to make value strings, etc.? | 06:32 |

| Dr_willis | needles_, xmms has not been getting updated for some time | 06:33 |

| xid | dang... kubuntu doesn't work... guess I'm going back to windows ... too much headache... no one can tell me how to fix it | 06:35 |
| Dr_willis | there were some other issues with xmms and X i forget. | 06:35 |
| xid | not even google | 06:35 |
| needles_ | xid : what problems are you having | 06:36 |
| Jucato | !patience | xid | 06:36 |
| ubotu | xid: The people here are volunteers, your attitude may determine how fast you are helped. Not everyone is available all the time, likewise not every answer is available instantly. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 06:36 |
| Dr_willis | xid, gee.. how verbose. :) | 06:36 |
| xid | see scrollback | 06:36 |
| xid | I just need to know how to disable the setting I changed | 06:36 |
| Dr_willis | and you are using what video card? | 06:36 |
| xid | I changed it to enabled dual displays | 06:36 |
| xid | and now it boots to a command prompt | 06:37 |
| xid | when I type startx, it says "requested entity already in use" | 06:37 |
| apparle | from where do i get real player | 06:37 |
| Dr_willis | look in /etc/X11/ see if theres a backup xorg.conf replace the existing one. | 06:37 |
| xid | the video card that's embedded in the laptop | 06:37 |
| xid | a Geforce Go 4 something or other | 06:37 |
| dsmith_ | dev.not working on xmms no longer? | 06:37 |
| xid | hmm... I'll try that | 06:37 |
| Dr_willis | you installed the nvida drivers and enableed twinview? | 06:37 |
| xid | Dr_willis: no nothing like that | 06:37 |
| xid | Dr_willis: just a clean install of gutsy actually | 06:37 |
| Dr_willis | To get dual displays with nvidia - i think you do need to use the nvidia drivers, and enable twinview. | 06:38 |
| xid | Dr_willis: and went to system settings > display > enable dual displays or something | 06:38 |
| xid | ok that's good to know | 06:38 |
| Dr_willis | the nvidia cards have their own nvidia-xsettings tool | 06:38 |
| Dr_willis | nvidia-bug-report.sh nvidia-glx-config nvidia-settings nvidia-xconfig | 06:38 |
| Dr_willis | all part of the nvidia drivers package | 06:39 |
| Dr_willis | I normally just install/run the restricted-manager tool to enable the nvidia drivers. | 06:39 |
| xid | yes X is starting now thank you much | 06:39 |
| Dr_willis | then use the nvidia-settings tool to enable twinview | 06:39 |
| Dr_willis | Of course ive been twidding with nvidia and twinview for years. :) | 06:40 |
| Dr_willis | and read the various nvidia docs/readmes and stuff over the years heh. | 06:40 |
| dennister | xid: see what happens when u show patience? Dr_willis is one of the best :) | 06:41 |
| * Dr_willis blushes | 06:41 | |
| * Dr_willis is just RTFMING.. and spouting out what hes read.. | 06:41 | |
| Dr_willis | :) | 06:41 |
| xid | sorry to be so dramatic... it got your attention anyways | 06:41 |
| apparle | Any body knows how to play .rm ,.ra ,.rmvb files | 06:41 |
| needles_ | xid : ive been there too | 06:41 |
| Dr_willis | xid, actually all of this is proberly well documented on the ubuntu forums also. | 06:41 |
| needles_ | xid : just have to ask a few times when it happens, the irc lines fill fast and stuff doesnt always get caught | 06:41 |
| dennister | ah yes, but sometimes the kind of attention u get is NOT what u desire | 06:42 |
| Dr_willis | and the !nvidia factoid | 06:42 |
| Dr_willis | !nvidia | 06:42 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 06:42 |
| needles_ | Dr_willis : that has never helped me, ever, ha | 06:42 |
| needles_ | the nvidia factoid | 06:42 |
| Dr_willis | heck - i often check out the Gentoo docs/wikis for information. :) | 06:42 |
| dennister | yes...i have a gentoo installation now, too, and i learned quite a bit with that and other gentoo documentation that i now apply to kubuntu | 06:43 |
| needles_ | dennister : how did you isntall it? | 06:43 |
| dennister | like when i was getting clock drift... | 06:43 |
| needles_ | stage 3, or through a livedc | 06:44 |
| needles_ | cd* | 06:44 |
| dennister | needles_: u mean gentoo? use the minimal install only...nothing else works | 06:44 |
| xid | you know how you google for stuff and sift through wikis and you never find the answer how to do the simplest thing and you wish you had your college professor's phone number? That happens to me all the time since I installed linux on my laptop | 06:44 |
| Dr_willis | xid, with linux to learn the fundamentals. | 06:44 |
| Dr_willis | it pays to learn the fundamentals | 06:44 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 06:44 |
| xid | yeah for sure | 06:44 |
| dennister | and I rpinted out most of the handbook, too, to have handy during the install | 06:44 |
| needles_ | xid : it took me two weeks flat to use linux comfortable and know my way around | 06:45 |
| needles_ | comfortably* | 06:45 |
| Dr_willis | read, read and read more... then when you need info.. rember where ya saw it mentoned and go back and read. | 06:45 |
| needles_ | just takes some reading and patience | 06:45 |
| needles_ | but it is really worth it | 06:45 |
| WaltzingAlong | and by that you mean some gnu/linux-based distribution like kubuntu or just putzing with the kernel? | 06:45 |
| Dr_willis | read throiugh the xorg.conf, and check the xorg.conf man pages. :) lots of neat info in there. | 06:45 |
| needles_ | dennister : how long did the minimal install take you? | 06:45 |
| Dr_willis | I got a whole library of old linux books from the bargin bins.. in the 'library' :) right above the TOilet. | 06:46 |
| needles_ | linux ebooks are available all over the place | 06:46 |
| needles_ | i recommend the wiley linux bible | 06:46 |
| Dr_willis | needles_, and some of them are even legal! :) | 06:46 |
| dennister | needles_: i can't quite remember how long, it was a couple of months back now...but it is quite complicated, what with xorg and stuff the gentoo way...the minimal install and the handbook doesn't cover xorg | 06:46 |
| analterror | Hello there, i messed up my kmix settings, and want them back to default, i tried removing/reinstalling kmix, with no effect. | 06:47 |
| Dr_willis | problem with a lot of the books are that they can get out of date with some 'tools' thats why you focus on the core fundamentals. not the fancy gui tools | 06:47 |
| Dr_willis | Fundamentals dont change much | 06:47 |
| needles_ | dennister : yeah, ive read the compile times for kde and openoffice alone are like 2 days | 06:47 |
| dennister | i have the wiley linux bible here, too...and yes, they get out of date real fast...but then again, so do wikis and online documentation | 06:47 |
| Dr_willis | 'removing/reinstalling' is a windows way.. :) that normally dosent do much under linux. | 06:47 |
| Dr_willis | analterror, clarify 'messed up' | 06:47 |
| analterror | sounds really weird, i think maybe some crazy 3D effects | 06:48 |
| === emilsedgh_ is now known as emilsedgh | ||
| analterror | i have SB 5.1 btw | 06:48 |
| dennister | needles_: i can't tell you how many times i re-compiled my kernel, what with the wiggy ivtv drivers for my mythtv | 06:49 |
| flogs | ahoj | 06:50 |
| Dr_willis | analterror, ive never seen anything in kmix that can do that. | 06:50 |
| Dr_willis | analterror, of course reove/reinstalling kmix will NOT remove the users kmix settings | 06:50 |
| Dr_willis | those are in ~/.kde/share/config/kmix* | 06:50 |
| dennister | needles_: the long compile times and the long installation process is the key reason why you should keep kubuntu as your working isntallation, then you aren't dependent on gentoo to get things done...my gentoo is more my sandbox/learning tool | 06:50 |

| bazhang | wireless | 07:35 |
| sub[t]rnl | diomedes: rebooting wont change a non working /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:35 |
| needles_ | bazhang : i heard wireless was improved | 07:35 |
| diomedes | sub shouldn't gutsy's display tool not borke the x11 conf | 07:35 |
| bazhang | needles_: hugely improved; wireless on laptops is tough for all distros | 07:35 |
| godfodder | could anyone suggest a program for kubuntu that works like daemon tools for windows? | 07:36 |
| sub[t]rnl | diomedes: that would be nice, but its not the case | 07:36 |
| godfodder | i only installed this a couple days ago and i don't know much about it | 07:37 |
| sub[t]rnl | diomedes: there are a lot of variables that come into play. like if your current xorg.conf uses the same screen or monitor identifiers, things can get jumbled | 07:37 |
| cap|com | does somebody use a canon s820 printer, or is there a report on how well this device is integrated now? i formerly had to choose the cpus driver for s800 to get this printer to work, but the result was not really satisfying. i had to use turboprint for better results. should that work better now out of the box? | 07:37 |
| bazhang | godfodder: what's the function of daemon tools? | 07:37 |
| cap|com | cpus = cups | 07:37 |
| godfodder | it was to mount images and such | 07:37 |
| MilesG | "omg how do i get the cube!?" | 07:38 |
| diomedes | sub so who are you ment to get dual displays to work? | 07:38 |
| bazhang | godfodder: for burning to disk? | 07:38 |
| needles_ | MilesG : ive never seen anyone say it like that | 07:38 |

| needles_ | my kubuntu upgrade to gutsy seems to be stuck on configuring cfs | 07:52 |
| sabgenton | sorry it does do something, the konquer keybord shortcuts start working but thats it | 07:53 |
| sabgenton | anyone? | 07:54 |
| * ubunturos plans to attend the kubuntu session | 07:54 | |
| esperegu | anyone knows how to remove the version upgrade in adept? It prevents me from installing the updates. | 07:55 |
| apparle | http://www.real.com/linux/ This site gives a.bin file. What to do with it | 07:55 |
| kraut | moin | 07:55 |
| bazhang | sabgenton: I believe what you want can be found in Strigi, the new desktop search tool | 07:57 |
| needles_ | esperegu : untick pre-releases in the repositories | 07:58 |
| MilesG | stallman loves nano | 08:00 |
| sabgenton | bazhang: i just wanted to know if anyone knows the bug im taliking about | 08:01 |
| sabgenton | type / | 08:01 |
| sabgenton | an the type your search | 08:01 |
| sabgenton | thats the way it should work | 08:01 |
| sabgenton | but sometimes i type / | 08:01 |
| sabgenton | and i can't type my search | 08:02 |
| sabgenton | the letters don't come up | 08:02 |
| sabgenton | this is in konqueror | 08:02 |
| bazhang | sabgenton: not sure how to help; Strigi handles that fine here. | 08:02 |
| Xacarith | any one know how to get sound working in kde? | 08:02 |
| sabgenton | ok | 08:02 |
| sabgenton | i will investigate Strigi thanks | 08:03 |
| diomedes | ok adept keeps trying to upgrade to 7.10 when thats whats installed | 08:03 |
| sabgenton | heard of it | 08:03 |
| sub[t]rnl | diomedes: its a known bug | 08:04 |
| diomedes | kk | 08:06 |
| diomedes | i normally run centos, but kubuntu has way better support for my laptop | 08:06 |
| diomedes | my os of choice though is solaris | 08:06 |
| Xacarith | Any one? Have no sound on kde? | 08:07 |
| sub[t]rnl | Xacarith: hrm, do lspci |grep Audio | 08:07 |
| sub[t]rnl | see if it recognized your sound card | 08:07 |
| Xacarith | They're both listed | 08:07 |
| sub[t]rnl | run alsamixer | 08:07 |
| sub[t]rnl | might have something muted? | 08:07 |
| sub[t]rnl | !sound | 08:07 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 08:07 |
| sub[t]rnl | arts too | 08:07 |
| Xacarith | Sound system is enabled. Where is alsamixer though? | 08:08 |
| RealMurphy | Xacarith: on the command line | 08:08 |
| RealMurphy | Xacarith: Just start a terminal (Konsole) and run alsamixer there | 08:09 |
| RealMurphy | Xacarith: Otherwise kmix might also be of help (under multimedia if installed) | 08:10 |
| Xacarith | RealMurphy It's not installed, yet | 08:11 |
| TheDude | so why does kubuntu-restricted-extras throw errors when you attempt to install it? | 08:12 |
| capcom | re | 08:13 |
| sub[t]rnl | TheDude: what errors are you getting? | 08:13 |
| capcom | after gutsy upgrade on one of my machines the gtk styles settings in kcontrol are gone. is somebody dealing with this, too? | 08:14 |
| needles_ | my gutsy upgrade is stuck on configuring cfs | 08:14 |
| needles_ | its been on "configuring cfs" for like 20 minutes | 08:14 |
| needles_ | anyone heard of anything like that? | 08:14 |
| capcom | needles_: are you using the graphical updater? | 08:15 |
| needles_ | yeah | 08:15 |
| needles_ | the adept | 08:15 |
| TheDude | There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. | 08:15 |
| capcom | this didn't work here as well. i had to abort, reboot (because of the lock on the apt-database) and run apt-get upgrade install by hand | 08:16 |
| esperegu | anyone knows how to set the preferred xrandr metamode?? | 08:16 |
| capcom | ther were some dialogues to answer, i guess the graphical tool wasn't able to handle this | 08:16 |
| capcom | but how do i get the treeview node for gtk styles in kcontrol back... | 08:18 |
| phiras | What is the best DVD player for Kubuntu ? | 08:18 |
| capcom | my firefox looks that ugly since the upgrade.. | 08:18 |
| capcom | gnomish | 08:19 |
| needles_ | capcom : so youre saying i should cancel the upgrade and reboot? | 08:19 |
| Jucato | capcom: instatll gtk2-engines-gtk-qt | 08:19 |
| needles_ | capcom : and then do it from the terminal? | 08:19 |
| phiras | What is the best DVD player for Kubuntu ? | 08:19 |
| needles_ | with "sudo apt-get upgrade install"? | 08:19 |
| monkey__ | http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/5177/dragonts9.png anyone know where i can find this image? | 08:19 |
| Xacarith | ok, so seems I have sound blaster working but nothing sending sound to it... Erm How can I change what sound card the system is trying to use? | 08:20 |
| Jucato | monkey__: the wallpaper? | 08:20 |
| monkey__ | Jucato: yes | 08:20 |
| capcom | needles_: i did that, but here this happened quite at the beginning after the downloads were finished. if you are somewhere in the middle i can't guarantee that a reboot will work | 08:20 |
| Jucato | monkey__: it's pre-installed in all KDE distros. right-click on the destop-> Configure Desktop -> Background, the name is Konqui | 08:21 |
| capcom | i waited 2 hours but nothing went forward at 0% of the upgrade as i rebooted | 08:21 |
| needles_ | capcom : im at 60% | 08:22 |
| monkey__ | Jucato: you sure? is it in kubuntu 7.10? last time i checked, it's not in kubuntu (older version). | 08:22 |
| needles_ | install | 08:22 |
| Jucato | monkey__: it should be. | 08:22 |
| needles_ | Jucato : what would you recommend I do? | 08:22 |
| capcom | needles_: might work, might not.. it's risky | 08:22 |
| Jucato | monkey__: are you sure you're looking in the right place? there's a drop down list beside ( ) Picture: in the Background options | 08:23 |
| needles_ | Jucato : my gutsy upgrade is stuck at 60 percent, on "configuring cfs" | 08:23 |
| Jucato | needles_: um.. not really sure | 08:23 |
| phiras | How can I upgrade kaffeine to let it run DVDs ? | 08:23 |
| Jucato | !dvd | phiras | 08:23 |
| ubotu | phiras: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 08:23 |
| RealMurphy | Xacarith: Then I guess you should just install it :) | 08:24 |
| needles_ | capcom, Jucato : whats the worst that could happen if i rebooted and then tried to upgrade again | 08:25 |
| * Xacarith heads to bed for now | 08:25 | |
| needles_ | i just followed the instructions on the website | 08:25 |
| Jucato | needles_: unbootable system | 08:25 |
| needles_ | its sort of lame that this is happening | 08:25 |
| PsySine | sometimes, every time I enter a new folder in konqueror, konqueror hangs up for about 24 seconds. any ideas? it's been this way since many kubuntu releases back | 08:25 |
| needles_ | Jucato : well ive got to do something, ill be off to bed soon | 08:26 |
| PsySine | is also hangs for only a few seconds when I do other things | 08:26 |
| guuuuh | please, can anyone help me connecting two pcs by crossover cable, so i can test squid? im using a crossover cable, one side is: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7... the other: 3, 6, 1, 4, 5, 2, 7... i configured the ips on the same network, set the gateway on the "client" but i cant ping them... the interfaces are working nice... any idea? | 08:27 |
| bazhang | PsySine: this is on Gutsy? Have you tried Dolphin? | 08:27 |
| PsySine | bazhang: i uninstalled dolphin but I can try and see if it's different | 08:28 |
| aftertaf | anyone know why DMA cant be activated on IDE system in gutsy? | 08:29 |
| PsySine | bazhang: dolphin has the same problem | 08:29 |
| mads2 | anyone familiar with cdrecorder in console? | 08:29 |
| bazhang | PsySine: might it be GPU related? | 08:30 |
| mads2 | i need the command to burn an .iso to cdr in console. | 08:30 |
| PsySine | bazhang: no idea... | 08:30 |
| dennister | Jucato: do u use cdrecord in console? | 08:31 |
| mads2 | or some other app that burns cds | 08:31 |
| mads2 | its all good | 08:31 |
| Jucato | dennister: nope | 08:31 |
| dennister | does anyone? | 08:31 |
| mads2 | i can apt-get install whatever. | 08:31 |
| needles_ | does anyone have any suggestions on my frozen gutsy upgrade? | 08:31 |
| bazhang | mads2: try K3b | 08:31 |
| needles_ | stuck at 60% install | 08:31 |
| dennister | not quite mads...you couldn't get kubuntu-desktop to install | 08:32 |
| mads2 | true that. | 08:32 |
| mads2 | because of the corrupt livecd. | 08:32 |
| runlevelten | k3b ftw, definitely. | 08:32 |
| mads2 | whats the command then? | 08:32 |
| mads2 | to burn a cd in console? | 08:32 |
| mads2 | when using k3b | 08:32 |
| aftertaf | needles_: download a new livecd and boot to it, chroot to your broken systeml and continue the upgrade...? | 08:33 |
| runlevelten | you don't use k3b in a konsole, although you could use kdcop to see how to drive it from a script, like any kde app. | 08:33 |
| mads2 | i dont have xorg | 08:33 |
| bazhang | PsySine: the only oddity I have had with Konqueror/Dolphin is if the file name begins with a not alphabet character, such as { or the like. Sorry couldn't be of more assistance. | 08:33 |
| mads2 | a working xorg | 08:33 |
| sub[t]rnl | mads2: whatcha trying to burn? | 08:33 |
| mads2 | a working kubuntu cd | 08:33 |
| mads2 | the one i burned in windows | 08:33 |
| mads2 | didnt work | 08:33 |
| sub[t]rnl | ah, so just ah .iso? | 08:34 |
| needles_ | aftertaf : that sounds terrible | 08:34 |
| mads2 | i noticed that AFTER i had the shit installed | 08:34 |
| needles_ | i knew that upgrading was a bad idea | 08:34 |
| mads2 | partitions fixed to reiserfs etc. | 08:34 |
| mads2 | sub[t]rnl: yes. | 08:34 |
| aftertaf | needles_: lol..... its not that bad. | 08:34 |
| runlevelten | oh in that case, look at cdrecord | 08:35 |
| mads2 | an .iso to get a fully working ubuntu. | 08:35 |
| mads2 | i did | 08:35 |
| mads2 | whats the command? | 08:35 |
| bazhang | needles_: did you back up your important docs beforehand? | 08:35 |
| dennister | mads2: sub[t]rnl is very good at helping | 08:35 |
| runlevelten | the command is man cdrecord | 08:35 |
| runlevelten | ;) | 08:35 |
| mads2 | no it isnt. | 08:35 |
| sub[t]rnl | mads2: try makedvd -burn blah.iso | 08:35 |
| bazhang | :} | 08:35 |
| mads2 | man cdrecord is for people who have hours upon hours | 08:35 |
| needles_ | bazhang : nay, i did not | 08:35 |
| mads2 | k | 08:35 |
| needles_ | but presumably ill still be able to get to them from another partition install | 08:36 |
| runlevelten | Erm... no. | 08:36 |
| dennister | besides, mads2's man command isn't working either | 08:36 |
| mads2 | no such thing as makedvd | 08:36 |
| runlevelten | You have time to glance at a man page if you have time to seek support in irc. | 08:36 |
| sub[t]rnl | sudo apt-get install makedvd | 08:36 |
| mads2 | this OS is -fucked-. | 08:36 |
| runlevelten | the first takes less time. | 08:36 |
| mads2 | i did | 08:36 |
| mads2 | that didnt work. | 08:36 |
| bazhang | needles_: if you had a separate home directory, or a shared directory with Windows, then a fresh install won't be so bad. | 08:36 |
| mads2 | there was no makedvd available. | 08:36 |
| dennister | runlevelten: u don't understand | 08:36 |
| sub[t]rnl | hrm, makedvd was probably part of a package suit | 08:37 |
| sub[t]rnl | let me dig it up | 08:37 |
| mads2 | but i dont have DVDs | 08:37 |
| mads2 | only CDRs | 08:37 |
| aftertaf | its not a dvd you have, the ISO ? | 08:37 |
| dennister | runlevelten: mads2 tried man cdrecord and man isn't even installed yet | 08:37 |
| sub[t]rnl | sudo apt-get install dvd+rw-tools | 08:37 |
| mads2 | i dont think so, no | 08:37 |
| mads2 | its a normal 7.10-desktop-i386.iso | 08:37 |
| sub[t]rnl | mads2: install that package | 08:37 |
| runlevelten | mads2: you have any live cds? | 08:38 |
| aftertaf | cdw..... but not installed by default. | 08:38 |
| aftertaf | mads2: how did you originally install kubuntu? | 08:38 |
| runlevelten | oh damn, eth working day starts. | 08:39 |
| dennister | runlevelten: he has one, but it's corrupt, which is why he's trying to record another one from cli | 08:39 |
| mads2 | sub[t]rnl: done. | 08:39 |
| mads2 | still now 'makedvd' command. | 08:39 |
| sub[t]rnl | no worries | 08:39 |
| sub[t]rnl | now | 08:39 |
| sub[t]rnl | do you know the location of your burning in /dev/? | 08:39 |
| mads2 | yeah | 08:40 |
| sub[t]rnl | if not, check your /etc/fstab to see the device | 08:40 |
| sub[t]rnl | ok, good | 08:40 |
| sub[t]rnl | cdrecord dev=/dev/cdrom driveropts=burnfree -v -data cd_image.iso | 08:40 |
| mads2 | must be /dev/cdrom | 08:40 |
| mads2 | or /dev/cdr | 08:40 |
| sub[t]rnl | ok, replace what yours is with the above command | 08:40 |
| mads2 | erm, /dev/cdrw | 08:40 |
| sub[t]rnl | :P | 08:40 |
| dennister | aftertaf: while mads2 is following sub[t]rnl's instructions...he installed kubuntu from a livecd, but the iso file on it was corrupt, so he doesn't even have xorg server | 08:40 |
| capcom | Jucato: the gtk2-hint worked fine. thank you | 08:40 |
| Jucato | np | 08:41 |
| needles_ | dennister : how do you do your upgrade to gutsy? through the graphical, or in the console with apt-get upgrade install | 08:41 |
| Delphinus | I need a Java runtime environment... would you install java-gcj-compact? or sun-java6-jre? | 08:41 |
| mads2 | looks like it works, sub[t]rnl | 08:42 |
| mads2 | its burning | 08:42 |
| mads2 | hooray! | 08:42 |
| mads2 | \o/ | 08:42 |
| dennister | needles_: i saw you were stuck at 60%...was that in the fetch stage, or install stage | 08:42 |
| sub[t]rnl | mads2: :P | 08:42 |
| dennister | mads2: see? i told u sub[t]rnl would take care of u :) | 08:42 |
| * sub[t]rnl purrs | 08:42 | |
| mads2 | yus | 08:42 |
| mads2 | ta, sub[t]rnl . | 08:42 |
| mads2 | appreciated indeed. | 08:42 |
| mads2 | lets hope * works this time. | 08:42 |
| dennister | sub[t]rnl was helping me big time last night...much mroe experienced than i at helping folks | 08:43 |
| dennister | needles_: i finally got my gutsy upgrade through a mixture of graphical and console | 08:43 |
| sub[t]rnl | dennister: you help out a lot here too | 08:43 |
| needles_ | dennister : the install stage | 08:44 |
| aftertaf | ncie one ...... :) | 08:44 |
| dennister | sub[t]rnl: i'm trying now to help, but i haven't been in the channel for awhile...although jucato knows me...i'm usually *getting* help instead of giving | 08:44 |
| dennister | needles_: do you remember where it stopped? | 08:45 |
| * Jucato looks around.... false alarm... | 08:45 | |
| sub[t]rnl | Jucato: hehe | 08:45 |
| dennister | which file? probably not debconf | 08:45 |
| needles_ | dennister : its still going, its stuck on "configuring cfs" | 08:45 |
| bazhang | Delphinus: the jre; the gcj has some known bugs associated with it, that are not only affecting Ubuntu, but Suse and others as well. | 08:45 |
| sub[t]rnl | i'm guessing when you say Jucato a notifier pops up eh? | 08:45 |
| Jucato | Delphinus: sun -jre | 08:45 |
| Jucato | Konvi just beeps | 08:45 |
| Delphinus | bazhang: Jucato, thanks for that info, thought i'd check first :) | 08:45 |
| sub[t]rnl | hrm | 08:45 |
| sub[t]rnl | i should really give a graphical chat client a try | 08:46 |
| bazhang | :} | 08:46 |
| dennister | needles_: so the installation of all the files hasn't aborted? | 08:46 |
| Jucato | sub[t]rnl: irssi? | 08:46 |
| sub[t]rnl | i just can't leave my roots with bitchx | 08:46 |
| sub[t]rnl | :/ | 08:46 |
| Jucato | ah | 08:46 |
| Jucato | bitchx should have a beeping feature too. just look around | 08:46 |
| aftertaf | sub[t]rnl: you're a console junkie, you cant do anything about it :) | 08:46 |
| * sub[t]rnl grabs his walker | 08:46 | |
| needles_ | dennister : no, i havent closed it yet | 08:47 |
| needles_ | its just sitting there, stuck, telling me endlessly that i have 16 minutes until it finishes | 08:47 |
| dennister | needles_: have you tried doing the alt-tab through a few cycles to see if there's an error message or blue screen with questions you need to answer? | 08:48 |
| Jucato | needles_: if you do close it and try to continue from the command line, try to use "sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade --install-recommends" | 08:48 |
| aftertaf | needles_: dont you have enough bandwidth for an install via internet? | 08:48 |
| Jucato | (just in case) | 08:48 |
| Jucato | aftertaf: I think it's done downloading the packages and stuck at installing | 08:48 |
| aftertaf | k | 08:48 |
| aftertaf | whats cfs anyway.....? | 08:49 |
| esperegu | Anyone knows why XRANDR might be 'not selecting the default resolution'? If I run xrandr -s 0 it selects the one I need.. I thought that should happen automaticly. | 08:49 |
| capcom | as it seems, with gutsy it's not necessary to type in the "root pass" every time you start a kdesu-app? | 08:49 |
| dennister | needles_: if it's been stuck there forever, you might have to do the ctrl+c to close it, then use jucato's suggestion | 08:49 |
| aftertaf | capcom: it remembers you for a few minutes... | 08:50 |
| dennister | mads2: how r u faring? is the iso almost burnt yet? | 08:50 |
| Hamra | capcom: it does that with feisty too, just for a few minutes | 08:50 |
| Jucato | Hamra: not kdesu in feisty | 08:50 |
| Jucato | it's a new feature in Gutsy, brought through kdesudo | 08:50 |
| needles_ | aftertaf : yeah, i have a 7mps connection | 08:50 |
| stupidgirl | blerk default dophin = gheyness | 08:51 |

| aftertaf | i added myself to sudo group and had no pw woes...... but that has changed since :( | 08:51 |
| Jucato | !d3lphin | stupidgirl | 08:51 |
| ubotu | stupidgirl: dolphin is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror → Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. | 08:51 |
| dennister | lol @ jucato | 08:51 |
| stupidgirl | yah fo rly Jucato | 08:51 |
| Jucato | excuse me? | 08:52 |
| stupidgirl | you're excused | 08:52 |
| * aftertaf breaks a rib | 08:52 | |
| Jucato | behave stupidgirl | 08:52 |
| needles_ | ok, im going to stop it | 08:52 |
| stupidgirl | I always do | 08:52 |
| needles_ | and use your suggestion jucato | 08:52 |
| sub[t]rnl | mee yow | 08:52 |
| sub[t]rnl | :D | 08:52 |
| stupidgirl | rawr | 08:52 |
| bazhang | good luck needles_ | 08:52 |
| needles_ | bazhang : thanks | 08:53 |
| aftertaf | sub[t]rnl: back from wanderings? you spent 40 posts in the wilderness :) | 08:53 |
| dennister | mads2: done burning? | 08:53 |
| sub[t]rnl | aftertaf: the trees were calling | 08:53 |
| capcom | aftertaf, Hamra: thanx. i realized this formerly only in console when using sudo | 08:53 |
| Jucato | capcom: that's why kdesu was "upgraded" to kdesudo so that it will behave the same way | 08:54 |
| dennister | * is stepping away for a cancer stick...bb in 7 min | 08:54 |
| sub[t]rnl | mmn same | 08:54 |
| aftertaf | dennister: boooohhh! | 08:54 |
| * aftertaf too :) | 08:54 | |
| dennister | heheheh | 08:55 |
| capcom | might this generally be a security problem, when a "bad" application tries to start with root privileges short after someone started a kdesudo-app? | 08:55 |
| stupidgirl | 83 days since i lst smoked a cancer stick w00t fer me | 08:55 |
| aftertaf | w00t 4 U indeed | 08:55 |
| Jucato | capcom: sudo isnt a security problem right? so it's the same with kdesudo | 08:56 |
| stupidgirl | does anyoneknow why, when starting compiz in ubuntu 7.10 with kde, i get a black screen for a few seconds, and if there is a way 2 stop it | 08:56 |
| capcom | Jucato: ok. was just wondering.. the world is bad ;) | 08:57 |
| sub[t]rnl | yeah i think you can start compiz before it tryis to load the default kdewm stupid girl | 08:57 |
| sub[t]rnl | try sticking -> export KDEWM=compiz in your .bashrc | 08:57 |
| stupidgirl | ook thnx sub[t]rnl | 08:58 |
| chakie_work | hm, this newer kde has lost mouse gestures for konqueror | 08:58 |
| Jucato | chakie_work: check System Settings -> Accessibility -> Input Actons ? | 08:58 |
| chakie_work | Jucato: yeah, i already found that | 08:59 |
| aftertaf | sub[t]rnl: hmm ill try that too. | 08:59 |
| aftertaf | if xrashage, rebootage... | 08:59 |
| chakie_work | Jucato: but that is one of the things that's a major thing to get to work, the ui is weird | 08:59 |
| Jucato | chakie_work: you don't have to create new gestures if you want. there are already built-in gestures | 09:00 |
| chakie_work | hm, i have no idea what i'm supposed to do in that view | 09:00 |
| chakie_work | Jucato: yes, and i've used those for years. now i can't find "them" anymore | 09:00 |
| Jucato | you mean Input Actions is empty? | 09:00 |
| chakie_work | yes | 09:01 |
| Jucato | ok now that's a bug... | 09:01 |
| chakie_work | the listbox? yes, it is | 09:01 |
| sub[t]rnl | eep | 09:01 |
| needles_ | ok, i closed the installer | 09:01 |
| aftertaf | hmm, even better... | 09:01 |
| Jucato | hm... someone had the same problem before.. forgot how he resolved it | 09:01 |
| needles_ | but in console, its telling me theres a dpkg lock | 09:01 |
| aftertaf | i drop back to kde & kwm... :) | 09:01 |
| Jucato | needles_: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 09:01 |
| Jucato | kwin you mean :) | 09:01 |
| chakie_work | Jucato: well, i really only need the back, next and close tag gestures | 09:01 |
| aftertaf | yeah... :) | 09:01 |
| dennister | oh great...the dpkg locks! :( | 09:01 |
| bazhang | chakie_work: input actions has some pre-defined gestures here. | 09:02 |
| chakie_work | Jucato: but that ui is a royal mess... | 09:02 |
| aftertaf | looooool dennister :) | 09:02 |
| needles_ | "status database area is locked by another process" | 09:02 |
| Jucato | chakie_work: the PrintScreen is also based on Input Asctions... | 09:02 |
| Jucato | needles_: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 09:02 |
| dennister | they were giving me a real problem last night too, during my upgrade | 09:02 |
| needles_ | Jucato : thats what it tells me when i put that in | 09:02 |
| Jucato | !aptfix | 09:03 |
| ubotu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 09:03 |
| Jucato | needles_: those two commands ^^^ | 09:03 |
| sub[t]rnl | rm the lock | 09:03 |
| needles_ | Jucato : alright | 09:03 |
| aftertaf | !compiz | 09:03 |
| ubotu | Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 09:03 |
| aftertaf | time to recheck everything for compiz, i think... | 09:04 |
| dennister | i wonder where mads2 went to... | 09:04 |
| needles_ | ok, what do i do now? | 09:04 |
| Jucato | needles_: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 09:06 |
| Jucato | done? | 09:06 |
| dennister | needles_: now: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 09:06 |
| needles_ | had no effect | 09:06 |
| chakie_work | Jucato: well, this view is incredible. i'm definitely no noob, but i have no clue at all as to how to setup konqueror gestures | 09:06 |
| Jucato | needles_: sudo apt-get -f dist-upgrade --install-recommends | 09:06 |
| needles_ | Jucato : thers still a lock on it | 09:06 |
| Jucato | O.o | 09:06 |
| Jucato | chakie_work: http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3086781.0 | 09:07 |
| ke- | Anyone here playing Eve Online on kubuntu? | 09:07 |
| needles_ | sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg | 09:07 |
| Jucato | needles_: er.. "sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock" first | 09:07 |
| Jucato | needles_: then "sudo dpkg --configure -a" | 09:07 |
| dennister | only once that lock is removed can you start the installation process up again with my command string | 09:09 |
| roguejedix | Here's an interesting development: adept wants me to upgrade to gutsy. Which is what I'm using right now. | 09:09 |
| needles_ | dennister : yeah, i know | 09:09 |
| needles_ | the commands dont seem to be having any effect | 09:09 |
| dennister | i wish i could remember how i finally dealt with my lock | 09:09 |
| chakie_work | Jucato: thanks! no wonder i couldn't figure it out, even the author seems to have problems with it | 09:10 |
| dennister | roguejedix: that's a known bug...i just ignore it for now | 09:10 |
| needles_ | !lock | 09:10 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lock - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:10 |
| needles_ | !dpkglock | 09:10 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about dpkglock - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:10 |
| roguejedix | dennister: So it's safe to assume it's going away after a certain update? | 09:11 |
| chakie_work | Jucato: of course, those instructions are outdated | 09:11 |
| dennister | roguejedix: yes | 09:11 |
| chakie_work | Jucato: i'll just use firefox, it has nice gestures as plugins | 09:11 |
| bazhang | !aptfix | 09:11 |
| ubotu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 09:11 |
| roguejedix | dennister: I see. Thanks for clearing that up | 09:11 |
| dennister | np | 09:11 |
| Jucato | chakie_work: you consider a 1 month-old post as outdated? | 09:11 |
| needles_ | Jucato, dennister : what process is dont it? | 09:11 |
| needles_ | i could kill it, but i dont know what it is | 09:11 |
| needles_ | and when i press ctrl + esc i see messed up data | 09:12 |
| dennister | what about whiptail? | 09:12 |
| needles_ | being the semi state of upgrade that my system is in | 09:12 |
| dennister | sub[t]rnl: were u helping me kill the whiptail process last night? | 09:12 |
| chakie_work | Jucato: i was wrong, i looked for the needed button in the totally wrong place | 09:12 |
| sub[t]rnl | hrm, yeah i think so | 09:12 |
| sub[t]rnl | run top in a cli, locate the pid, then kill -5 it | 09:12 |
| dennister | sub[t]rnl: needles_ may be affected by it now | 09:13 |
| sub[t]rnl | or do ps aux |grep whiptail | 09:13 |
| aftertaf | oh well, no compiz for me.... | 09:13 |
| sub[t]rnl | needles_: follow those steps | 09:13 |
| * Jucato goes back to work... | 09:13 | |
| chakie_work | oh man... | 09:13 |
| chakie_work | who really thought that anyone could use this dialog? | 09:14 |
| sub[t]rnl | dennister did | 09:14 |
| sub[t]rnl | :} | 09:14 |
| bazhang | compiz is seriously over-rated; waiting for KDE4 w/ OpenGL :} | 09:14 |
| Jucato | chakie_work: the real solution to your problem would be to find out why Input Actions is empty and how to bring back the contents. unfortunately I don't know how | 09:14 |
| sub[t]rnl | yeah, kde4 using kwin for its cube compositing is going to be nice | 09:14 |
| dennister | what? | 09:14 |
| sub[t]rnl | dennister: nm :P | 09:15 |
| chakie_work | Jucato: yeah, it's happened on all my upgraded machines (three) | 09:15 |
| Jucato | chakie_work: but just to test, close System Settings, run "kbuildsycoca" (ignore any error message you see) and try looking into Input Actions again | 09:15 |
| aftertaf | someone should to a faq for these fixes...... | 09:15 |
| aftertaf | s/to/do | 09:15 |
| === aidsjadsa is now known as hargibi | ||
| needles_ | how else could i kill the lock? | 09:16 |
| sub[t]rnl | needles_: rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/lock && sudo dpkg --configure -a | 09:16 |
| chakie_work | Jucato: no difference | 09:16 |
| Jucato | chakie_work: hm.. something really wrong. no idea sorry | 09:16 |
| Jucato | sub[t]rnl: you missed one sudo :) | 09:17 |
| * sub[t]rnl nuzzles his wine glass | 09:17 | |
| chakie_work | Jucato: thanks for the help. i'll see if i can somehow hack up something. but i fear it's easier to code up a new solution than use that abomination of adialog | 09:17 |
| dennister | needles_: did u try the top? or type "ps aux |grep whiptail" look for whiptail? | 09:17 |
| needles_ | i just did "sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/lock && sudo dpkg --configure -a" | 09:18 |
| dennister | if you see any mention of 'whiptail' that's what you may have to kill | 09:18 |
| needles_ | like sub[t]rnl said, and it had an effect | 09:18 |
| sub[t]rnl | odd | 09:18 |
| needles_ | stuff is being "set up" | 09:18 |
| needles_ | what did that command do? "rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/lock && sudo dpkg --configure -a"? | 09:18 |
| dennister | wonderful! | 09:18 |
| dennister | needles_: if things are being "set-up" that means your upgrade is going again | 09:19 |
| matthias_ | hi, after installing kubuntu 7.10 from CD Adapt says there would be a distribution ubgrade, which then fails because the repositories are already gutsy. How do I get rid of the upgrade notice? | 09:19 |
| sub[t]rnl | yeah needles, you need to check for whiptail like dennister said though | 09:19 |
| Jucato | matthias_: known bug. will be fixed. ignore first | 09:19 |
| sub[t]rnl | if its hanging around its gonna chew up a lot of cpu | 09:19 |
| matthias_ | thanks | 09:20 |
| needles_ | "1000 5641 0.0 0.0 5116 816 pts/4 S+ 03:19 0:00 grep whiptail" | 09:20 |
| needles_ | i dont know what that means | 09:20 |
| sub[t]rnl | k, your good | 09:20 |
| Jucato | needles_: that wasn't for you :P | 09:20 |
| needles_ | oh, ha | 09:20 |
| Jucato | it was between sub[t]rnl and dennister | 09:20 |
| Jucato | their own secret love affair | 09:21 |
| * Jucato goes back to being busy | 09:21 | |
| sub[t]rnl | lol | 09:21 |
| dennister | sub[t]rnl: but the whole object of checking for whiptail was to remove the lock, and it seems the lock is gone if his upgrade has re-commenced | 09:21 |
| needles_ | what do i do once this is finished? | 09:21 |
| sub[t]rnl | dennister: whiptail isn't part of the actual lock | 09:21 |
| dennister | if "stuff is being "set up" " like needles_ said | 09:21 |
| sub[t]rnl | its just left overs | 09:21 |
| needles_ | oh my, its back to setting up cfs, but this time in console | 09:21 |
| sub[t]rnl | whiptail is just kinda like ncurses, used to draw up dialog boxes in a terminal | 09:21 |
| dennister | let's see if it hangs in terminal, or continues like it should | 09:22 |
| needles_ | i dont even know why its installed | 09:22 |
| needles_ | its a stenography program | 09:22 |
| needles_ | and it is hanging yet again | 09:22 |
| sub[t]rnl | you'll see a hot cpu from people not killing whiptail after ctrl +c'ing or disrupting a dpkg or update | 09:22 |
| needles_ | im going to cancel, uninstall cfs | 09:22 |
| needles_ | then redo | 09:22 |
| dennister | cancel, uninstall cfs, then look for whiptail, kill it | 09:23 |
| bazhang | just checking out top; what is 'zombie'? | 09:23 |
| Jucato | a process that can't be killed... | 09:23 |
| sub[t]rnl | lol | 09:23 |
| * Jucato whistles innocently | 09:23 | |
| sub[t]rnl | rofl! | 09:23 |
| bazhang | haha | 09:23 |
| sub[t]rnl | ok, that one got me | 09:23 |
| dennister | yes, very funny :) | 09:24 |
| Jucato | no seriously | 09:24 |
| Jucato | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zombie_process | 09:24 |
| bazhang | bad to have one? | 09:24 |
| dennister | poor needles_...and poor mads2 | 09:24 |
| Jucato | Zombie process, an inactive (but unkillable, hence "undead") computer process | 09:24 |
| dennister | no one should have to go through this kind of pain | 09:24 |
| sub[t]rnl | phew, i thought that was just you punning us all Jucato | 09:25 |
| Jucato | I was... and being serious... who says I can't do both? :P | 09:25 |
| sub[t]rnl | brilliant | 09:25 |
| guuuuh | can anyone help me with a simple question about iptables? | 09:25 |
| needles_ | ok, so heres the condition now | 09:26 |
| sub[t]rnl | !ask | guuuh | 09:26 |
| ubotu | guuuh: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 09:26 |
| dennister | mads2: u alive? | 09:26 |
| Jucato | !iptables | 09:26 |
| 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). | 09:26 |
| needles_ | the package "cfs" is making my upgrade install freeze | 09:26 |
| needles_ | i just sudo rm -rf /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 09:26 |
| bazhang | thanks Jucato! thought it might be a storm botnet or some such. phew! | 09:26 |
| Jucato | :D | 09:26 |
| needles_ | and now its telling me to run dpkg --configure -a | 09:26 |
| needles_ | but that will cause it to stall once more | 09:26 |
| needles_ | so i need to find a way to get cfs removed | 09:27 |
| needles_ | i just installed it today too, i have no idea why | 09:27 |
| needles_ | !cfs | 09:27 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about cfs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:27 |
| bazhang | would cfs be the completely fair scheduler? | 09:27 |
| Jucato | !info cfs | 09:28 |
| ubotu | cfs: Cryptographic Filesystem. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.4.1-18 (gutsy), package size 184 kB, installed size 564 kB | 09:28 |
| needles_ | no, its a cryptographic filesystem | 09:28 |
| dennister | guys, should he do the dpkg --configure -a first, or first do apt-get remove --purge cfs? | 09:28 |
| bazhang | ok. thanks! | 09:28 |
| needles_ | sudo apt-get remove --purge cfs | 09:28 |
| === EdwardElric_ is now known as EdwardElric | ||
| sub[t]rnl | i.. guess.. not sure how cfs is keeping him from unlocking dpkg though | 09:29 |
| sub[t]rnl | but i've seen stranger things | 09:29 |
| needles_ | because when i put in --configure -a it just goes through the whole of it, back to cfs and then hangs | 09:29 |
| needles_ | its like a never ending circle | 09:29 |
| sub[t]rnl | k, kill its process? or just purge it like dennister said | 09:30 |
| needles_ | i cant uninstall cfs until i run --configure, but i can run configure through unless i get cfs removed | 09:30 |
| needles_ | cfs isnt running | 09:30 |
| dennister | let's purge it first then, followed by the dpkg --configure -a | 09:30 |
| sub[t]rnl | well, he wont be able to purge it with apt | 09:31 |
| sub[t]rnl | locked and all | 09:31 |
| needles_ | apt isnt locked anymore | 09:31 |
| sub[t]rnl | ah, righto | 09:31 |
| dennister | see if this order works...if not, no harm trying | 09:31 |
| sub[t]rnl | aint linux fun? | 09:31 |
| sub[t]rnl | :D | 09:31 |
| needles_ | but it now wants to be --configured | 09:31 |
| needles_ | sub[t]rnl : heh | 09:31 |
| dennister | lol | 09:31 |
| === guuuuh is now known as GuHHH | ||
| dennister | i should shut up... | 09:32 |
| dennister | contrast83: u alive? i believe you were helping me last night with the dist upgrade? | 09:32 |
| needles_ | ok, i just ran dpkg --configure -a again | 09:32 |
| needles_ | and its hanging again on cfs | 09:32 |
| needles_ | !info ldconfig | 09:33 |
| ubotu | Package ldconfig does not exist in gutsy | 09:33 |
| dennister | needles_: did you ever try the dpkg remove --purge cfs? | 09:34 |
| needles_ | dennister : yeah | 09:34 |
| sub[t]rnl | what happened? | 09:34 |
| needles_ | it says i need an action input | 09:35 |
| needles_ | wait, no i didnt before | 09:35 |
| needles_ | i just did it and it tells me that | 09:35 |
| sub[t]rnl | sudo apt-get --purge remove cfs | 09:35 |
| sub[t]rnl | then sudo dpkg --configure -a | 09:35 |
| dennister | oops, i forgot...mixed up apt-get line with dpkg line | 09:35 |
| needles_ | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 09:35 |
| needles_ | i cant uninstall it | 09:36 |
| needles_ | because it wants me to do that | 09:36 |
| dennister | it's all the fault of those locks with the 'dpkg line' | 09:36 |
| needles_ | but i can do that, because itll just stall at "setting up cfs" and lock dpkg again | 09:36 |
| sub[t]rnl | well this sucks needles_ | 09:37 |
| sub[t]rnl | :P | 09:37 |
| needles_ | sub[t]rnl : indeed it does | 09:37 |
| needles_ | there must be a way around it though | 09:38 |
| sub[t]rnl | there always is | 09:38 |
| Hamra | what is the name of the package that have M$ fonts? | 09:38 |
| dennister | is the adept notifier icon in your docker? | 09:38 |
| needles_ | i dont know what it could be | 09:38 |
| needles_ | there was, but it just crashed | 09:38 |
| bazhang | mscorefonts | 09:38 |
| sub[t]rnl | msttcorefonts | 09:38 |
| bazhang | oops. | 09:38 |
| Hamra | thnx | 09:38 |
| sub[t]rnl | needles_: hrm, i guess i could try to replicate your situation with my box | 09:39 |
| dennister | let's try opening it again needles_ perhaps we can purge cfs from it | 09:39 |
| sub[t]rnl | needles_: what did you do, just install cfs, then break adept right? | 09:39 |
| needles_ | cfs is where my gutsy install was hanging also | 09:40 |
| sub[t]rnl | ew, the cfs install? | 09:40 |
| sub[t]rnl | or download | 09:40 |
| caris_mere | I've upgraded to Gutsy...to do this one had to mark "pre-releases" in the repositories...should I now unmark that? | 09:40 |
| needles_ | adept isnt working, but i dont know if thats why it isnt working | 09:40 |
| sub[t]rnl | caris_mere: yup, unless you want the bleeding edge | 09:40 |
| caris_mere | thanks | 09:41 |
| needles_ | sub[t]rnl : the install | 09:41 |
| dennister | needles_: k, if i'm confused, perhaps ur confusing sub[t]rnl as well | 09:41 |
| needles_ | lets review then | 09:42 |
| sub[t]rnl | i need a cig, ill catch up in a bit | 09:42 |
| dennister | isn't this what u did/mean: i installed cfs earlier today, then tried the gutsy upgrade, and the upgrade is stalling/hanging on the cfs? | 09:42 |
| needles_ | i was going along my gutsy install perfectly fine, then during the installation it got up to 60%, then stopped on "setting up cfs" | 09:42 |
| needles_ | dennister : yeah | 09:43 |
| dennister | ok, that's what i understood...when sub[t]rnl gets back from his cig break, we'll explain it the way i did... | 09:43 |
| dennister | in the meantime, let's see if you can open synaptic | 09:44 |
| needles_ | i dont have it installed | 09:44 |
| dennister | get it...lots of pps swear it's more stable than adept | 09:44 |
| needles_ | dennister : yeah | 09:44 |
| sub[t]rnl | k | 09:45 |
| needles_ | but i cant do that because apt is messed up | 09:45 |
| dennister | sub[t]rnl: let me clarify needles_ history | 09:45 |
| sub[t]rnl | k | 09:45 |
| contrast83 | dennister: Sorry, NetworkManager gave out on me. Did you make any progress with the upgrade? | 09:45 |
| === espen is now known as uhell | ||
| dennister | he installed cfs earlier today...then he started the gutsy upgrade, and now it keeps hanging on the installation of the upgrade to cfs | 09:46 |
| sub[t]rnl | lets see | 09:46 |
| dennister | it's the gutsy upgrade that's begiing buggered up by the cfs upgrade, so we need to get rid of cfs somehow | 09:46 |
| contrast83 | CFS? | 09:46 |
| sub[t]rnl | he needs to -finish- configure cfs then | 09:46 |
| dennister | contrast83: u know it? | 09:46 |
| sub[t]rnl | dpkg-reconfigure cfs | 09:47 |
| contrast83 | I'm unfamiliar. | 09:47 |
| mads2 | yay! | 09:47 |
| sub[t]rnl | needles try that | 09:47 |
| * mads2 enjoys a fully working ubuntu. | 09:47 | |
| dennister | mads2: wonderful! | 09:47 |
| sub[t]rnl | grats mads | 09:47 |
| needles_ | "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: cfs is broken or not fully installed" | 09:47 |
| mads2 | however | 09:47 |
| mads2 | now, the console is fucked. | 09:47 |
| dennister | contrast83: i did get my upgrade completely finished, thank you | 09:48 |
| mads2 | the font is utterly big | 09:48 |
| mads2 | then it goes black. | 09:48 |
| mads2 | o_O | 09:48 |
| contrast83 | Good for you. I would've given up after 12 hours. :-P | 09:48 |
| mads2 | console as in alt + f1, f2 and so forth. | 09:48 |
| dennister | and now needles is having a unique-but-similar upgrade problem | 09:48 |
| needles_ | sub[t]rnl : it says "/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: cfs is broken or not fully installed" | 09:48 |
| dennister | mads2: what do u mean, font goes black? | 09:49 |
| sub[t]rnl | needles_: ok, sec | 09:49 |
| dennister | u mean the whole screen goes black? | 09:49 |
| bazhang | seems to be bug associated with it: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cfs/+bug/146557 | 09:49 |
| dennister | and how is console 'fucked'? | 09:49 |
| bazhang | cfs, that is. | 09:49 |
| stdin | dennister, mads2: watch the language in here | 09:50 |
| sub[t]rnl | needles_: sudo apt-get -install --reinstall cfs | 09:50 |
| dennister | hey, stdin :) another expert for needles_ here | 09:50 |
| bazhang | needles_: there is a known bug with cfs in post install process. | 09:50 |
| stdin | maybe when I have coffee... | 09:50 |
| dennister | heheheh...u just couldn't resist the admonishment, eh? | 09:51 |
| Hamra | isnt there any program to put in the taskbar, similar to the language bar of windows? | 09:51 |
| needles_ | bazhang : i believe i have found it in full magnitude | 09:51 |
| bazhang | Hamra: for changing input language? | 09:51 |
| Hamra | yes | 09:52 |
| bazhang | scim | 09:52 |
| dennister | mads2: i've never had that much of a need for alt + f, f2, etc | 09:52 |
| sub[t]rnl | needles_ : sudo apt-get -f install | 09:52 |
| sub[t]rnl | for the win | 09:52 |
| Hamra | thnx a lot, i'll check it out | 09:52 |
| needles_ | sub[t]rnl : "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem." | 09:52 |
| bazhang | better than the Windows implementation, imo | 09:53 |
| sub[t]rnl | :/ | 09:53 |
| sub[t]rnl | did you try both the --reinstall? | 09:53 |
| dennister | mads2: but you have a full working xorg? check the internet section in the menu for the program called pidgin | 09:53 |
| needles_ | basically, cfs needs to be gotten rid of by somehow getting around the fact that i need to dpkg --configure -a | 09:53 |
| needles_ | sub[t]rnl : yeah, same comment | 09:54 |
| dennister | the font size is probably because you just don't have nvidia or ati restricted drivers installed yet | 09:54 |
| needles_ | ok, is there a way to run dpkg --configure -a but have it skip over cfs? | 09:54 |
| akrus`Away | hm | 09:54 |
| akrus`Away | how to set DNS list? :D | 09:54 |
| needles_ | as in run through everything, but no including cfs | 09:54 |
| Lynoure | akrus`Away: if you don't use dhcp, it's as simple as editing /etc/resolv.conf | 09:55 |
| sub[t]rnl | what happened when you did sudo dpkg-reconfigure cfs | 09:55 |
| dennister | well, it's 5 am here, and i have to go to bed | 09:55 |
| bazhang | g'night | 09:55 |
| akrus`Away | Lynoure: I edited :x | 09:56 |
| akrus`Away | oh | 09:56 |
| akrus`Away | hm | 09:56 |
| dennister | needles_: i'm leaving you in the more-capable hands of sub[t]rnl, stdin, jucato... | 09:56 |
| === akrus`Away is now known as akrus | ||
| needles_ | sub[t]rnl : it says cfs is broke or not fully installed | 09:56 |
| akrus | thanks :) | 09:56 |
| Lynoure | akrus`Away: what does ":x" mean here? | 09:56 |
| dennister | night everyone | 09:56 |
| needles_ | dennister : thanks for your efforts though, i appreciate it | 09:56 |
| akrus | that's a smiley :x | 09:56 |
| sub[t]rnl | night denn | 09:56 |
| Jucato | stdin's here. I need to work :P | 09:56 |
| dennister | np | 09:56 |
| Lynoure | akrus: yes, but "does not work for me" or "ok, did it" smiley? :) | 09:56 |
| stdin | Jucato: let me at least wake up first :p | 09:57 |
| sub[t]rnl | needles_: wait till stdin gets some coffee | 09:57 |
| sub[t]rnl | :P | 09:57 |
| needles_ | sub[t]rnl : heh, alright | 09:57 |
| needles_ | i have to be off to bed as well | 09:57 |
| needles_ | its like 4 am | 09:57 |
| * Jucato shakes stdin vigorously... Wake UP!!!! | 09:57 | |
| bazhang | :} | 09:57 |
| akrus | Lynoure: it works, just i remember 7.04 had problems with it :) | 09:57 |
| stdin | now I just feel nauseous | 09:57 |
| akrus | Lynoure: nvm it's working okay | 09:57 |
| Lynoure | akrus: ok, that's good :) | 09:58 |
| * Jucato shakes stdin more | 09:58 | |
| * Jucato is off to buy some sanity... | 09:58 | |
| * stdin offers Jucato a discount, and throws in empathy to sweeten the deal | 09:59 | |
| sub[t]rnl | bring back extra guys | 09:59 |
| sub[t]rnl | cause we're running short | 09:59 |
| Lynoure | akrus: but if you use dhcp (dynamic ip), the dhcp will override it, so more steps are needed. But you aren't? | 10:00 |
| akrus | Static here :) | 10:00 |
| akrus | this knetworkconf is laggy :( | 10:00 |
| needles_ | stdin : are you awake yet? | 10:05 |
| stdin | needles_: sort of | 10:05 |
| needles_ | can i let you in on my problem? | 10:05 |
| stdin | as long as you don't expect me to read several hours of back scroll. yes | 10:06 |
| needles_ | stdin : certainly | 10:06 |
| mads2 | how can i see a list | 10:07 |
| mads2 | of packages installed and removed. | 10:07 |
| mads2 | in the default desktop version of the add/remove programs | 10:07 |
| mads2 | i think i accidentaly removed a program by mistake | 10:07 |
| mads2 | now i cant remember what it was called. | 10:07 |
| needles_ | ok, i was upgrading from feisty to gutsy, and everything was going smooth untill i got to the installation part, it went all the way to 60%, then froze on "setting up cfs" | 10:07 |
| uhell | froze up? sounds stable :) | 10:08 |
| needles_ | stdin : so through the guidance of sub[t]rnl and a few others, i closed it, and attempted to continue it in console | 10:08 |
| needles_ | there was a lock on dpkg, i removed it and attempted to sudo dpkg --configure -a | 10:09 |
| needles_ | but that process just led on down the line to another hang up on "cfs" again in the console | 10:09 |
| stdin | needles_: does it just hang or just fail? | 10:10 |
| needles_ | stdin : and i cant remove purge that package, unless i can configure | 10:10 |
| needles_ | it just hangs | 10:10 |
| stdin | ok, time to "hack" it to let you remove it. | 10:11 |
| needles_ | stdin : how would i do that? | 10:11 |
| needles_ | is there a way to pdkg --configure -a, and have it skip of cfs in the process | 10:12 |
| stdin | needles_: try: "echo exit | sudo tee /var/lib/dpkg/info/adept-common.p*" | 10:13 |
| needles_ | with the atertisk included? | 10:13 |
| stdin | yes | 10:13 |
| stdin | erm, hold on | 10:14 |
| stdin | "echo exit | sudo tee /var/lib/dpkg/info/cifs.p*" | 10:14 |
| stdin | not adept :p | 10:14 |
| * stdin drinks more coffee | 10:14 | |
| stdin | cifs is wrong too.... | 10:14 |
| stdin | last time, I promise it's right: "echo exit | sudo tee /var/lib/dpkg/info/cfs.p*" | 10:15 |
| needles_ | stdin : ok, it said exit | 10:15 |
| * Jucato prepares stdin a galon of pure, unadulterated, unsweetened, coffee.... powder | 10:15 | |
| needles_ | stdin : what did that do? | 10:16 |
| * stdin eats the powder with a desert spoon | 10:16 | |
| stdin | needles_: something you shouldn't normally do, it made the script that run before and after install/removal do nothing | 10:16 |
| stdin | needles_: try removing the package now, then you should complete the upgrade. after that I'll see if I can find the real problem with it | 10:17 |
| needles_ | stdin : so what would i do now? sudo dpkg --configure -a? | 10:17 |
| needles_ | stdin : alright | 10:17 |
| stdin | you may have to run dpkg before you remove it, but try removing it first | 10:17 |
| needles_ | stdin : it wont let me remove it | 10:18 |
| needles_ | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 10:18 |
| stdin | yep, run that command first then | 10:18 |
| needles_ | same as its told me before | 10:18 |
| needles_ | ok | 10:18 |
| needles_ | its stalled on "setting up cfs..." | 10:19 |
| needles_ | again | 10:19 |
| qrawl | How do I get rid of <mount point> that I accidentally created in my Home folder | 10:19 |
| qrawl | I want to remove that | 10:20 |
| qrawl | its linked to my other HD | 10:20 |
| stdin | needles_: did you run the last command I said "echo exit | sudo tee /var/lib/dpkg/info/cfs.p*" ? | 10:20 |
| needles_ | stdin : yeah | 10:20 |
| stdin | qrawl: you have to unmount it, then you can remove the directory | 10:20 |
| needles_ | verbatim | 10:20 |
| stdin | needles_: post /var/lib/dpkg/info/cfs.postinst to pastebin | 10:21 |
| qrawl | stdin: I cant. I went to the Disks management, and that doesnt exist. I believe I edited that to point to a diff folder, and it never got rid of the old one | 10:21 |
| qrawl | stdin, at least it's not showing up in the System panel for disks | 10:22 |
| stdin | qrawl: if there's nothing mounted there, then you should be able to delete the directory | 10:22 |
| qrawl | stdin, it doesnt look like a shortcut | 10:23 |
| needles_ | stdin : http://pastebin.com/d64a62f2a | 10:23 |
| qrawl | stdin, but I'll log on as root and try deleting it | 10:23 |
| qrawl | I hope it doesnt really delete it | 10:23 |
| qrawl | ugh | 10:24 |
| qrawl | it wants to delete the real files | 10:24 |
| muchanic | qrawl: jump into konsole and manually umount it | 10:25 |
| stdin | needles_: ok, press Alt-F2 and put in "kdesu kate /var/lib/dpkg/info/cfs.postinst" then put "set -x" under the line with "set -e" | 10:25 |
| stdin | needles_: then save and run "sudo dpkg --configure -a" again | 10:26 |
| qrawl | muchanic, ok, whats the command | 10:26 |
| muchanic | sudo umount /home/user/dir | 10:27 |
| qrawl | ty | 10:27 |
| qrawl | its still there | 10:28 |
| muchanic | the files, or the directory? | 10:28 |
| qrawl | the directory | 10:28 |
| qrawl | and the files inside | 10:28 |
| qrawl | which are on the other HD | 10:28 |
| qrawl | ok nm. the folder is just there, but it's empty now, becasue it's unmounted | 10:29 |
| qrawl | I'll delete it in root | 10:29 |
| needles_ | stdin : ok, i complied, and there was a bit of output, but it seems to be still stalled on cfs | 10:29 |
| stdin | qrawl: you don't need to be root to delete it | 10:29 |
| stdin | needles_: post the output to pastebin then | 10:29 |
| qrawl | yes I did | 10:29 |
| qrawl | It had to be root | 10:30 |
| qrawl | anyway, thanks. I got rid of it | 10:30 |

| SlimG2 | Is there another KDE-based web-browser other than Konqueror ? | 10:34 |
| needles_ | stdin : it doesnt do anything | 10:34 |

| needles_ | yeah | 10:35 |
| stdin | does it just return you to a prompt? | 10:35 |
| needles_ | stdin : no, it doesnt even do that | 10:36 |
| needles_ | it just puts a blank line | 10:36 |
| needles_ | and leaves it there | 10:36 |

| sabgenton | anyone know where to find info on the kio cgi slave | 10:38 |
| needles_ | stdin : keep in mind im on a 60% upgraded to gutsy system, that was cancelled then | 10:38 |
| stdin | needles_: that's not good, looks like your filesystem is bad. you should check the filesystem | 10:39 |
| needles_ | stdin : yeah, i know | 10:40 |
| needles_ | stdin : im thinking about throwing in the towel now | 10:40 |
| needles_ | ive been on this for that past few hours, and its almost 5 am, and i ahve school at 11 | 10:40 |
| needles_ | ill just burn my important files off to a dvd, and then reinstall from a livecd | 10:41 |
| stdin | needles_: run "sudo shutdown -F -r now" (that will immediately shutdown and restart the system to check it) | 10:41 |
| needles_ | stdin : what if it doesnt reboot? | 10:41 |
| stdin | needles_: can't see why it wouldn't | 10:41 |
| needles_ | alright, ill give it a try | 10:42 |

| Alarm | cptnspoon, why not installing nvidia from nvidia installer ? | 10:59 |
| Alarm | much easier work | 10:59 |
| vbgunz | I heard it was possible to install Firefox and Thunderbird without any gnome dependencies. is this true? how can I find out more? | 10:59 |
| Alarm | all those packages that needed to be downloaded through apt just confuse me... | 10:59 |
| Alarm | cptnspoon, what doesnt work exactly ? | 11:00 |
| Jucato | vbgunz: Firefox doesn't depend on GNOME. it depends on GTK though | 11:00 |
| Alarm | vbgunz, if u want the feel of kde, install qt-engine | 11:00 |
| Jucato | Alarm: that's already installed by default | 11:00 |
| Jucato | actually gtk2-engines-gtk-qt | 11:01 |
| vbgunz | Jucato: oh had to say to you, thanks for recommending kget. I knew of wget but kget just saved my ass too on a big file... much better than konqueror by itself :) | 11:01 |
| Alarm | ehmm, dont know it. i am not using kubuntu :) | 11:01 |
| vbgunz | Jucato: thanks! | 11:01 |
| Jucato | Alarm: er.. ok... | 11:01 |
| Jucato | (what are you using then?) | 11:01 |
| vbgunz | Alarm: not really looking for the feel :) | 11:01 |
| Alarm | vbgunz, as much i did hear u use firefox . why not adding the extension DownThemAll ? no need to load extra apps | 11:01 |
| Alarm | Jucato, debian stable etch for several months now testing | 11:02 |
| Jucato | I see | 11:02 |
| vbgunz | Alarm: sorry, I don't wish to use Firefox as my primary browser. I wish to use it for development purposes only. e.g., it has Firebug :) | 11:02 |
| Alarm | kubuntu indeed has all the latest versions , but not so tested. many times things just crashed . not something that i like | 11:02 |
| Jucato | (technically, when you use a Firefox extension, you are basically loading the equivalent of a small app as well, or at least taking up as much resources) | 11:02 |
| Alarm | i am of the opinion , old ? does it work ? keep it :) | 11:03 |
| Alarm | ohh ok then | 11:03 |
| Jucato | (then you should have stuck to stable?) | 11:03 |
| Alarm | Jucato, for sure downthemall doesnt take as much memory as kget | 11:03 |
| Alarm | although kget is a good application for sure | 11:03 |
| Jucato | quite :) | 11:04 |
| GuHHH | ive configured squid, its waiting for requests on my server, but my client cant connect outside my network, it can resolve hostnames, but cant ping... i can only reach my server, not whats behind it... any help? | 11:04 |
| Jucato | and it doesn't require Konqueror to be running while downloading | 11:04 |
| Alarm | wanted to check out whats on testing . but still i kept my old kernel . | 11:04 |
| Jucato | kerne; | 11:04 |
| Jucato | kernels aren't really much of a problem :) | 11:04 |

| rc-1 | vbgunz: crap battery is dead let me get charger | 11:05 |
| Alarm | well, 2.6.22 is supposed to work better, but this makes my system worse :) it finds some ps/2 interrupts and softirq wakes up taking up my cpu usage. i cant fix it , so i prefered staying back in 2.6.18 till i will figure out how | 11:05 |

| ubuntu | (gusty user) | 11:07 |
| rc-1 | i think dell locked it so you couldnt change os or something | 11:07 |

| rc-1 | just the login thing | 11:07 |

| julius | ive allready had dolphin crash once | 11:13 |
| julius | and kaffiene cant play videos (ive installed the ubuntu-restricted-extra's e.t.c. as per guides) | 11:14 |
| dojero | I haven't had Dolphin crash, and all my videos play on Kaffeine...were these things working for you in 7.04? | 11:14 |
| ubuntu | do you know how to get to my linux partition from the livecd? | 11:15 |
| ubuntu | all i can see in terminal is the ramdisk | 11:15 |
| dojero | ubuntu, just look in the storage media in a file manager (konqueror or dolphin) | 11:15 |
| vbgunz | ubuntu, reboot into your hard disk | 11:16 |
| Alarm | ubuntu thought you got problems loading X , why the need of livecd ? | 11:16 |
| vbgunz | ubuntu doing it from live disk aint really going to help you much.. | 11:16 |
| rc-1 | julius: dolphin doesnt crash, but whenever i close it it gives a "cannot write bookmarks file" error. a few other small bugs too. and movies work fine (in kaffiene but i use mplayer) | 11:17 |

| dojero | Is there a way to operate another PC over the Internet? Krdc and Krfb seem only for local networks. | 11:23 |

| Jucato | !fr | julie | 11:31 |
| ubotu | julie: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. | 11:31 |
| ubuntu | yea IDK what any of these vars in the config file are | 11:31 |
| ubuntu | xorg.conf needs manual configuration? | 11:31 |
| Alarm | you could do it also manualy | 11:31 |
| Jucato | !xconfig | ubuntu | 11:31 |
| ubotu | ubuntu: 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 | 11:31 |
| Alarm | and it will create a new xorg.con , back up your old one first | 11:32 |
| curi0 | Alright, I have a USB Hard Drive which I can boot from, however, there are already partitions and data on the drive. Should I use partition magic to resize and create 4 partitions: partition 1 for FAT16 syslinux, ubuntu gutsy.iso, vm file, and init file; partition 2 unallocated for ext3; partition 3 unallocated for swap? Can't forget to mention that I'm dual booting XP and Vista with EASY BCD. | 11:32 |
| Alarm | curi0, if there are allready partitions why to create new ones ? | 11:33 |
| WaltzingAlong | dojero: krdc and krfb work over the internet too (afterall the internet is just a big network - or network of several networks); may i suggest openvpn, openssh, and freenx or any of the vnc servers/clients | 11:34 |
| ubuntu | ty so much!! i'll give it a try, brb | 11:35 |
| Alarm | although i see dublicates in ur xorg. dont know if that matters | 11:36 |
| dojero | WaltzingAlong: if krdc and krfb work on the internet, then why do I need the others you suggest? | 11:36 |
| Alarm | like Section "device" # | 11:36 |
| ubuntu | it was all automaticly done by the restricted driver manager in 7.10 | 11:36 |
| ubuntu | so its kinda creepy that it borked all of a sudden | 11:37 |
| WaltzingAlong | i suppose if you understood that you would already know why you thought krdc did not work over the internet; dojero | 11:37 |
| fregl | where do I put commands I want run during/after boot? | 11:37 |
| Alarm | ubuntu, keep a backup of xorg.conf , and do an xserver reconfiguration | 11:37 |
| ubuntu | kk | 11:37 |
| WaltzingAlong | dojero: it is quite likely that between your server/client and the other side client/server there are firewalls and the like, so incoming connections would be blocked by default | 11:37 |
| ubuntu_ | yo | 11:37 |
| Alarm | if this wont solve your problem you still recover back your xorg.conf back | 11:38 |
| curi0 | Alright, I have a USB Hard Drive which I can boot from, however, there are already partitions and data on the drive. Should I use partition magic to resize and create 4 partitions: partition 1 for FAT16 syslinux, ubuntu gutsy.iso, vm file, and init file; partition 2 unallocated for ext3; partition 3 unallocated for swap? Can't forget to mention that I'm dual booting XP and Vista with EASY BCD. | 11:38 |
| WaltzingAlong | curi0: thanks for repeating. perhaps read the replies which were already stated? | 11:38 |
| ubuntu_ | I'm master of linux yeah !! from Poland ! | 11:38 |
| dojero | WaltzingAlong: Okay. So if I want to access a computer over the net, then both have to have the vnc software. | 11:38 |
| curi0 | I didn't think you all saw my text because I was not registered | 11:38 |
| WaltzingAlong | dojero: one needs the server, the other the client. | 11:38 |
| curi0 | Sorry about that! | 11:39 |
| WaltzingAlong | curi0: not registered means cannot send private messages but can send to the channel | 11:39 |
| curi0 | Sitting in the ubuntu channel where nobody answers my question is amazing | 11:39 |
| jussi01 | How do you change which device the system outputs sound to? I want the sound to came through my USB headset, not my laptop speakers. | 11:39 |
| ubuntu_ | where are logs | 11:39 |
| ubuntu_ | ? | 11:39 |
| dojero | WaltzingAlong: Got it...so the one I'm trying to access is the server (since I'm going to be operating that PC remotely)...right? | 11:39 |
| ubuntu_ | where are logs files? | 11:39 |
| WaltzingAlong | curi0: what do you expect? what you should do? who decides that? | 11:39 |
| Alarm | ubuntu, /var/log | 11:39 |
| curi0 | Alarm: There are windows partitions | 11:40 |
| WaltzingAlong | dojero: right and on the server side, the firewalls would need to be configured to allow incoming connections to the vnc server port, usually 5900 | 11:40 |
| WaltzingAlong | curi0: you can format those partitions as you like | 11:40 |
| Alarm | installing kubuntu on it, it will ask you to format them to ext3 or whatever you would like them to | 11:40 |
| curi0 | I have data on those partitions | 11:40 |
| dojero | WaltzingAlong: Thank you...I understand (I think). | 11:40 |
| curi0 | I'm trying to find out if my procedure is right? | 11:40 |
| Alarm | you dont need to resize them if the size of them is ok . if i remember well during the installation you can resize them as well | 11:40 |
| ubuntu_ | logs with used commends | 11:41 |
| ubuntu_ | logs with used commands | 11:41 |
| WaltzingAlong | dojero: and on the local network the firewall would likely not exist and therefore not be blocking incoming traffic | 11:41 |
| ubuntu_ | ? | 11:41 |
| Alarm | i dont know how safe it is to change fs on the HD with data on it and without formating it. | 11:41 |
| jussi01 | !repeat | ubuntu_: | 11:41 |
| ubotu | ubuntu_:: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com http://wiki.ubuntu.com http://www.ubuntuforums.org or http://www.kubuntuforums.net while you wait. Also see !patience | 11:41 |
| curi0 | Don't you haev to have 3 partitions to install any linux on a dual boot system? | 11:41 |
| GuHHH | ive configured squid, its waiting for requests on my server, but my client cant connect outside my network, it can resolve hostnames, but cant ping... i can only reach my server, not whats behind it... any help? even if i disable squid, i cant ping internet, just resolve names (from client) | 11:41 |
| dojero | WaltzingAlong: Actually, there aren't firewalls on either end...I'm trying to access my mother's computer...she wouldn't have a clue about firewalls. | 11:41 |
| Alarm | ubuntu, /home/user/.bash_history | 11:41 |
| WaltzingAlong | Alarm: changing the filesystem would/should format it | 11:42 |
| curi0 | For Linux sake yes | 11:42 |
| WaltzingAlong | dojero: but her dsl/cable router/gateway would | 11:42 |
| curi0 | and Windows sake | 11:42 |
| Alarm | curi0, copy the files on an other storage device , and resize them , format them without any risk if you dont know well what you are doing | 11:42 |
| dojero | WaltzingAlong: Okay...so the chances are slim I can pull this off, since I'd have to walk her through the process of accessing her cable router and opening the port. | 11:43 |
| curi0 | Let me rephrase! I'm going to be booting from my USB hard drive to install ubuntu to local partitions. | 11:43 |
| curi0 | Alarm: I know what i'm doing, i'm just trying to figure out if my procedure is correct. | 11:43 |
| Alarm | ohh, you got the iso image on the usb storage and u want to do the installation from that iso ? | 11:43 |
| dojero | WaltzingAlong: But at least I understand and can try to make those changes to her system when I'm there. | 11:44 |
| ubuntu_ | THANK YOU | 11:44 |
| curi0 | Alarm: Yes, because I'm getting Buffer I/O errors on HDC | 11:44 |
| WaltzingAlong | dojero: right. which was my suggestion about ssh because it may be better to ssh into her computer then from there, once connected to it via ssh, run x11vnc to access her screen then a vnc viewer on the localhost to view that screen on your end. openvpn because you can create a vpn so she need not configure anything nor open any ports and all traffic on the vpn is encrypted | 11:44 |
| Alarm | you wont be able to do it that way . you got to extract the files and make it bootable. there is also a procedure to do to make the usb boot and run the installer | 11:45 |
| curi0 | So, i'm planning on taking the syslinux route and configuring my USB hard drive to boot the ISO directly. | 11:45 |
| Alarm | would be much easier to burn it on a dvd | 11:45 |
| curi0 | Can't if my dvd isn't reading properly | 11:45 |
| Alarm | curi0, when i worked a bit with slax and usb flash , it wasnt just to have the iso on the drive, but more than that | 11:45 |
| curi0 | That's why I have to take a different step because my DVD seems to be broken | 11:45 |
| Alarm | i see | 11:45 |
| dojero | WaltzingAlong: I'm slow to understand, but I'm getting better. Thanks. So I can just use Putty to get to her PC and then go from there? | 11:45 |
| Alarm | hold on. i have a link dont know how much this will help | 11:46 |
| curi0 | I'm just using the USB hard drive as a CDROM that's all | 11:46 |
| curi0 | Alarm: I've found many links regarding this matter. | 11:46 |
| Alarm | http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_to_a_USB_Flash_Drive | 11:46 |
| WaltzingAlong | dojero: you could. then you need only one part, encrypt all of the traffic (sending of vnc passwords as well) and so on | 11:46 |
| Alarm | ok its not a usb flash drive but its still how to boot from a usb and playing with the iso | 11:46 |
| curi0 | See the link that you'er posting is total opposite of my actions | 11:46 |
| curi0 | Oh alright | 11:47 |
| curi0 | gotcha! | 11:47 |
| curi0 | You're on the same page now :) | 11:47 |
| Alarm | curi0, you will defenetely will have to change the mbr of the drive | 11:47 |
| WaltzingAlong | dojero: if you have openvpn running already she could then use krfb to send the invite to you, you could access it over the vpn. | 11:47 |
| curi0 | Yes I know that's where my problems will come in | 11:47 |
| Alarm | curi0, check also that: http://www.slax.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6846&sid=40bde0cfe4142649ac31949b54f26267 | 11:47 |
| curi0 | Because i'll have to boot Vista and do the command to switch the mbr | 11:48 |
| curi0 | and then add linux bootloader to easy bcd | 11:48 |
| dojero | WaltzingAlong: That may even be better. Thank you again for this help...I'll probably try tomorrow. | 11:48 |
| WaltzingAlong | dojero: i admin several computers and am presently at least 7 timezones away from most of them. ssh over openvpn is how i get into most | 11:49 |
| dojero | WaltingAlong: I'm in Italy and she's in US, so we're a couple of time zones apart, anyway. | 11:49 |
| Alarm | curi0, one more: http://www.linux.com/articles/46267 , just use ext type instead of f16 or f32 | 11:50 |
| curi0 | Alarm: you know what my issue probably is! | 11:50 |
| curi0 | I downloaded the ubuntu iso from torrents | 11:50 |
| Alarm | that your dvd isnt working | 11:50 |
| curi0 | Let me try downloading it directly from ubuntu | 11:50 |
| Alarm | and you cant install ubuntu from a dvd so you want to run the installer from the external hd | 11:51 |
| curi0 | and let's see if I get Buffer I/O errors | 11:51 |
| curi0 | That's what I wanted to do at first but let me try downloading a copy directly from ubuntu | 11:51 |
| curi0 | I should've done that from the beginning, but, now i've learned my lesson! | 11:51 |
| Alarm | btw, is there a netinstall for kubuntu ? | 11:52 |
| WaltzingAlong | curi0: torrent can tell you if you have the exact same bit for bit as is in the torrent; have your client check the iso for integrity | 11:52 |
| Alarm | curi0, check hash | 11:52 |
| curi0 | check the hash against the website hash? | 11:53 |
| Alarm | although torrents rarely fail. if a package wasnt succesfuly download correctly, it downloads it again | 11:53 |
| curi0 | what if the whole iso from the torrent site just happened to be corrupt? | 11:53 |
| Alarm | yeap | 11:53 |
| Alarm | if you downloaded it from a normal mirror i doubt it | 11:53 |
| WaltzingAlong | curi0: then everyone else downloading the same torrent would have (had) corrupt iso files | 11:53 |
| vbgunz | I am looking for a dictionary that can merge itself with my context menu. e.g., if I highlight a word in any document, I can right click and get it's definition. does anything like this exists? also, preferably it would be great if it worked offline | 11:54 |
| skyion | curi0, >> do a md5sum on the file and check the original | 11:54 |
| curi0 | I'm on Windows :( | 11:55 |
| skyion | oh :| | 11:55 |
| Alarm | skyion, there are also applications for windows that do that | 11:55 |
| WaltzingAlong | curi0: md5sum is also a win32 | 11:55 |
| curi0 | found a utility | 11:55 |
| curi0 | ! | 11:55 |
| skyion | kewl ;) | 11:55 |
| vbgunz | curi0: on Windows, my favorite md5sum checker along with a bunch of others was 'hashtab' | 11:56 |
| roguejedix | Might I reccomend wxChecksums | 11:56 |
| Alarm | sha1sum.exe 20kb big and does its job | 11:57 |
| Alarm | no need for installation or something | 11:57 |
| curi0 | Found this need little proggy called md5check | 11:57 |
| curi0 | Checking my iso right now | 11:57 |
| skyion | kewl | 11:57 |
| Alarm | curi0, that would do | 11:57 |
| contrast83 | Somewhat of an odd question - How clean is Control+Alt+Backspace? i.e., If you have a bunch of programs running and you press that, do those programs cleanly exit or are they forcefully killed? | 11:58 |
| WaltzingAlong | curi0: you may find it helpful to have http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GnuWin32 installed on your ms windows "operating system", especially after putzing with a gnu/linux-based distro for any amount of time | 11:58 |
| curi0 | My MD5 Hash: f4ed141eebd2b3c11ada9dac1f58c742 against isohunt.com info_hash: e02e5e117a5a9080d552a11fa675de868a05fe71 | 11:58 |
| WaltzingAlong | contrast83: killed i think | 11:58 |
| roguejedix | Don't torrents use md4? | 11:58 |
| contrast83 | That's what I was thinking. Thanks. | 11:59 |
| vbgunz | contrast83: murdered... exit them then do that is possible | 12:03 |
| Minnozz | how can I set up a network bridge from eth1 to my bluetooth dongle, so I can access the my internet connection with my mobile phone? | 12:03 |
| vbgunz | /is/if/ | 12:03 |
| vbgunz | I think the 'send to system tray option' in the menu editor is broken. I am trying to send kdict to the system tray but it never goes :/ | 12:04 |
| contrast83 | vbgunz: Cool, thanks. Do you know where I might find some documentation on that? Google's not helping... Sorry, just trying to prove someone wrong. :-) | 12:06 |
| skiffx | guys if IM installing ubuntu onto scsi12 (0,0,0) (sdh) then the bootloader should still go on (hd0) or something else? | 12:06 |
| Alarm | scsi ? they still exist ? :) | 12:06 |
| USMarine | sata2 ftw | 12:07 |
| skiffx | no its all sata | 12:07 |
| skiffx | it sees it as scsi though | 12:07 |
| vbgunz | heh, no, but been told plenty of times by several different users. and you can prove it to yourself with applications that save there state on a clean exit like kchmviewer or kpdf I believe. when you exit them cleanly, they restart where they exited. when you ctrl+alt+backspace, they start from the last clean exit | 12:07 |
| Alarm | maybe the as sda device | 12:08 |
| Alarm | not hd | 12:08 |
| curi0 | Thank You, everyone for your assistance, i'll try this iso directly from ubuntu and if that doesn't work than i'll boot the iso indirectly from my usb hard drive. | 12:08 |
| curi0 | Again, I appreciate all you've guys helped out with! | 12:08 |
| curi0 | Thank You | 12:08 |
| Alarm | do an fdisk -l to check out ur partition | 12:08 |
| skiffx | Alarm, it saw it as sdh | 12:08 |
| contrast83 | vbgunz: Cool, that's enough for me. Thanks much. :-) | 12:08 |
| skiffx | so now thebootloader goes | 12:08 |
| vbgunz | np :) | 12:08 |
| skiffx | onto hd0 or hd8? | 12:09 |
| Alarm | on the partition that is bootable | 12:09 |
| USMarine | anyone seen a peeing plane before? http://www.metacafe.com/watch/881033/amazing_scene/ | 12:09 |
| Alarm | wheck which one is | 12:09 |
| Alarm | wheck -> check | 12:09 |
| skiffx | sdh is the bootable one with windows | 12:10 |
| skiffx | so what do I specify in (hd*) ? | 12:10 |
| Alarm | shouldnt it have a number, just asking. never saw that sdh | 12:10 |
| Alarm | i am not risking it to tell you bullshit as i am not so familiar with that sdh . | 12:11 |
| skiffx | Alarm, sdh is the bootable drive | 12:11 |
| Alarm | well still i am wondering why there is no number | 12:11 |
| skiffx | sdh is just sda-h | 12:11 |
| skiffx | err | 12:11 |
| Alarm | then do install it on sdh | 12:11 |
| skiffx | well sdh is separated into 3 more partitions | 12:11 |
| Alarm | if -h- stands for a number | 12:11 |
| Alarm | :) | 12:11 |
| Alarm | sdh1, sdh2, sdh3 ? | 12:11 |
| skiffx | swap is sdh3 and ext3 / is sdh2 | 12:12 |
| skiffx | win is sdh1 | 12:12 |
| Alarm | then i am 99% sure that u need to install it on sdh1 , check if there is also a "*" for boot on that sdh1 | 12:13 |
| Alarm | if you put the grub on a non bootable partition u wont see grub runing | 12:13 |
| cperrin88 | Hey, I'm searching for a way to use compiz with my ATI card | 12:14 |

| Yammeh | Yes, but now to the point where it lags my pc | 12:24 |
| WaltzingAlong | _luke_: use vlc on ms windows? reencode the video with mencoder | 12:25 |
| Delphinus | Yammeh: is it used or cached? | 12:25 |
| WaltzingAlong | Yammeh: using lots of ram does not lag your pc | 12:25 |
| Delphinus | if its cached thats fine | 12:25 |
| Delphinus | how much swap is used? | 12:25 |
| WaltzingAlong | Yammeh: check kinfocenter for a nice picture about it | 12:25 |
| _luke_ | WaltzingAlong: Can't change the windows install unfortunately... I tried a few times with mencoder but I can't get a file which will play with video under windows | 12:25 |
| Yammeh | It says it's used | 12:25 |
| WaltzingAlong | _luke_: so the answer is to try again until you do. man mencoder. pick the video codec that comes with ms windows | 12:26 |
| Yammeh | According to kinfocenter, 38% is disk cached.. | 12:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | though that really does not seem like an answer | 12:26 |
| Delphinus | Yammeh: how much swap is used | 12:26 |
| Yammeh | 2% | 12:27 |
| WaltzingAlong | Yammeh: 2GB ram here; presently 50MB free; then 68% disk cache; 3% swap used; so it is not a swap issue in your case | 12:27 |
| Delphinus | Yammeh: if you run top, whats the load average? | 12:27 |
| azuk | _luke_, I've converted avi files created with my camera with mplayer's option -ffourcc DX50 in order to make them playable on Windows | 12:27 |
| WaltzingAlong | Yammeh: you can also see that with uptime | 12:28 |
| Yammeh | which is the average? There are 3 numbers | 12:28 |
| Delphinus | Yammeh: give us all 3 | 12:28 |
| WaltzingAlong | they all are; different times | 12:28 |
| Yammeh | load average: 0.13, 0.23, 0.33 | 12:29 |
| Yammeh | It's not the loading of new applications that's the issue, it's lag in the ones that are loaded | 12:29 |
| _luke_ | WaltzingAlong: thanks - messing with different options | 12:30 |
| _luke_ | azuk: Thanks - I'll give it a try | 12:30 |
| WaltzingAlong | Yammeh: and those numbers are not high by any means | 12:33 |
| Yammeh | It's not the loading of applications that's the problem, it's the freezing when I alt tab or try to type | 12:33 |
| Delphinus | not sure Yammeh, did you upgrade or clean install? | 12:34 |
| Yammeh | I tried to upgrade and it failed, so I did a clean install | 12:34 |
| Delphinus | sorry cant help ya.. past midnight here and i got work tomorow.. good luck! | 12:35 |
| Yammeh | Ok, thanks | 12:35 |
| smorg | Alarm: <- guy with xserver problems | 12:39 |

| wastedfluid | it's a little rough, but it works. | 13:51 |
| CPrompt^ | wastedfluid : how did you do the upgrade? | 13:51 |
| drarem | be back, don't know why konversation is left out of basic install | 13:52 |
| dystopianray | konversation is in kubuntu by default | 13:52 |
| drarem | not in my 7.10 cd | 13:53 |
| wastedfluid | CPrompt^: I did the net upgrade; then wiped out my install for the cd install. | 13:53 |
| drarem | clean install, unless there was a prompt and I didn't check it | 13:53 |
| wastedfluid | But Gutsy was too rough for me, especially for my laptop. Kmilo was broke, which was depressing.. had to revert to an older kmilo version. | 13:53 |
| wastedfluid | I reverted back to fiesty, and i'm installing 3.5.8 for now. :-) | 13:54 |

| jimmydee | d347hm4n:are you getting wireless? | 14:14 |

| jimmydee | I've seen synaptic do it | 14:17 |
| BluesKaj | Flats, I went thru the same thing, the next time the adept manager asks you to update just reconfigure it not to start ...then do an apt-get upgrade everyday and you will be notified of the regular updates in a less bothersome way. | 14:17 |

| Angelus | BluesKaj: bug | 14:21 |
| dhq_ | Rebecca_work, just do a killall and find any process with adept and make sure you are root whan youu run it | 14:21 |
| WaltzingAlong | Thylio: customize the panel then. kcontrol, find taskbar, change the options there | 14:21 |
| d347hm4n | jimmydee: as predicted, without the wpa encryption | 14:21 |
| jimmydee | sudo apt-get -f install then sudo apt-get remove packagename | 14:22 |
| Angelus | BluesKaj: its' and adept bug , you're adept wil be updated and the bug will be fixed | 14:22 |
| dhq_ | ubunturos, you could find the package you installed in synaptics and remove it | 14:22 |
| Thylio | WaltzingAlong: Okay, thx | 14:22 |
| Angelus | Thylio: have you fixed it? | 14:22 |
| luca | hi everyone | 14:22 |
| dhq_ | ubunturos, sudo apt-get remove packagename | 14:22 |
| dhq_ | should work | 14:22 |
| Angelus | if you want i have a how Thylio for the bootup splash | 14:22 |
| ubunturos | dhq_: the package *is not* installed - it is *half-configured* | 14:22 |
| luca | does anyone use the kdesvn-buildrc script successufully? | 14:22 |
| Rebecca_work | dhq_: thanks | 14:22 |
| jimmydee | ubunturos: sudo apt-get -f install then sudo apt-get remove packagename | 14:23 |
| WaltzingAlong | ubunturos: you did not install it through a .deb or apt or adept or such? | 14:23 |
| WaltzingAlong | ubunturos: or you installed from source? | 14:23 |
| dhq_ | jimmydee, what if he is installing from source or deb | 14:23 |
| Thylio | Angelus: Yes, pleas tell me how to fix it :) | 14:23 |
| ubunturos | WaltzingAlong: I installed it using Adept, but it stopped midway | 14:23 |
| Angelus | ok i'll give you the link Thylio | 14:23 |
| ubunturos | WaltzingAlong: now, the status of the package is "Half-configured" | 14:23 |
| dhq_ | ubunturos, the do sudo apt-get -f install | 14:23 |
| dhq_ | ubunturos, and then remove the package | 14:24 |
| jimmydee | d347hm4n: feel like installing kwifimanager? | 14:24 |
| WaltzingAlong | ok then from the console you should be able to run sudo dpkg -r <package name> but it may also work to do sudo aptitude purge <package>; sudo dpkg --configure -a should attempt to configure it | 14:24 |
| Angelus | Thylio: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-default-settings/+bug/156225 | 14:24 |
| d347hm4n | jimmydee: i have it installed. Should i just tryagain in that | 14:24 |
| jimmydee | give it a swing | 14:25 |
| Thylio | Angelus: Thx. I'll try to fix it now=) | 14:25 |
| dhq_ | ubunturos, sudo apt-get -f install this will configures and install the package ie if you used adept | 14:25 |
| Angelus | for nothing Thylio | 14:25 |
| d347hm4n | woohoo i'll be back :D | 14:25 |
| BluesKaj | Angelus, what do you mean adept will be updated ? when and how? | 14:26 |
| blendtux | how can i change gtk themes, for programs like the gimp wich is using my colour sheme of kde and i dont want that | 14:26 |
| ubunturos | jimmydee: doesn't help | 14:26 |
| d347hm4n | jimmydee: the switch to network button is greyed out, and the noise statistic is at 158, with 0 for connection | 14:27 |
| WaltzingAlong | turn off your microwave oven! | 14:27 |
| ubunturos | dhq_: the problem is that dpkg cannot find the package (nor can adept / apt-get) since it isn't installed, just half configured | 14:27 |
| dhq_ | BluesKaj, well isnt that option there in kcontrol>>lookand feel not so sure but its there in the apparency somewhere | 14:27 |
| Angelus | BluesKaj: a new version of adept, that will fix the bug you have "the update to new version" bug | 14:27 |
| Angelus | BluesKaj: my adept already got updated, and the bug is fixed | 14:28 |
| dhq_ | blendtux, , well isnt that option there in kcontrol>>lookand feel not so sure but its there in the apparency somewhere | 14:28 |
| blendtux | but i am talking about the gtk applications | 14:28 |

| vivia | Hi there... I just upgraded to Gutsy, everything seems to be running fine, but if I run aptitude -f install it acts up : http://pastebin.ca/746758 The weird thing is, the packages it states as "not installable" are actually installed! ok, I haven't tried all of them, but I do have gnome-control-center, rpm, libopensync0, desktop-file-utils and ntfs-3g ... And, apart from opensync-related stuff which is from a third-party repository, all other packa | 14:41 |
| WaltzingAlong | blendtux: gtk-theme-switch or something like that? | 14:42 |
| sparrw | Flats: "dpkg -L nameofpackage" | 14:42 |
| Flats | sparrw Thx | 14:42 |
| sparrw | Flats: most programs install a binary in /usr/bin or /usr/share/bin or /bin, and some data in /usr/share/... or /usr/local/share/... | 14:42 |

| Vermux | when I sign out from Kubuntu the computer is stuck and I have to power it off to restart it. it happaned already 4 times so far. Does anybody know about this bug?? | 15:25 |
| paulc | according to the system activity krunner is running, as is plasma, kdeinit4, kded4, kwin and kaccess | 15:25 |
| salox | how can i install gimp-2.2.17 in kubuntu 7.10, default is gimp-2.4.rc3 ? | 15:26 |
| SlimeyPete | Vermux: that used to happen for me in Fiesty. Do you use Fiesty or Gutsy? | 15:26 |
| SlimeyPete | I don't think it was ever fixed in Fiesty but it doesn't occur in Gutsy, for me at least | 15:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | salox: find it; find the .deb maybe you can run one from feisty. but you want it because it is slower at the rc3 release than was gimp2.2.17 for you | 15:26 |
| yaccin | thanks kubuntu for ruining my hard disk -_- | 15:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | yaccin: what did i do this time | 15:27 |
| bigm | oh kewl i have a white screen now^^ | 15:27 |
| WaltzingAlong | SlimeyPete: Vermux: i know of at least one computer that does not exhibit this issue with the 2.6.22 kernel (kubuntu gutsy) | 15:27 |
| Vermux | SlimeyPete: please remind me how do I check? I think fiesty | 15:27 |
| yaccin | WaltzingAlong: still the problem that i cant fdisk my hard draive now! | 15:28 |
| SlimeyPete | Vermux: uname -r | 15:28 |
| SlimeyPete | (I think) | 15:28 |
| salox | ingwaltzi want it because rc3 is a test version | 15:28 |
| WaltzingAlong | Vermux: cat /etc/lsb-release | 15:28 |
| Vermux | 2.6.20-16-generic | 15:28 |
| SlimeyPete | that's the Feisty kernel | 15:28 |
| WaltzingAlong | feisty then or at least gutsy with the feisty kernel | 15:28 |
| SlimeyPete | I'd suggest upgrading to Gutsy if this problem is seriously bothering you | 15:29 |

| Hamra | if i write a document with openoffice write, and save it as MS-Word, can i be sure that Word will open it properly? i dont want my tutor to receive gibberish in my homeworks. | 15:33 |
| SlimeyPete | Hamra: you can be 99% sure. OO's Word compatibility is good these days. | 15:34 |
| WaltzingAlong | Hamra: if the person needs to edit it, then maybe find a happy medium or just use open iso standards (like odt); you cannot be sure that ms office will not recognize the document as having been created elsewhere (or in OOo specifically) then display it poorly (hm reminds me of using opera on hotmail some years ago); but otherwise, no need to edit, export to PDF; and btw, should you be doing any significant documentation, LaTeX! | 15:34 |
| Vermux | SlimeyPete: so the only solution is to upgrade? I didnt c any solution in the link u sent me | 15:35 |
| SlimeyPete | Vermux: yeah I think it's the only solution, sorry. | 15:35 |

| hitmanWilly | bottiger: no, i would say its not | 17:24 |
| blubb | hmm how is that possible? | 17:24 |
| bottiger | hitmanWilly: anything you can do about it :) except from forcing the users to user proper passwords | 17:25 |
| bottiger | and don't have "guest", "ftp" or "admin" user | 17:25 |
| MurielGodoi | blubb: maybe right click in kmix icon and 'select master channel' can solve your problem | 17:25 |
| hitmanWilly | bottiger: either that or shut off sshd | 17:25 |
| Juz_moi | ? does 7.10 install with firefox or must it be installed afterwards? I ask because a friend is telling me it isn't and I don't have it here ? | 17:26 |

| bottiger | hitmanWilly: not an option :) but can't you set sshd do ban people with 50 failed logins | 17:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | bottiger: there are a few things you can do to help with sshd; change the number of retries in a certain duration; set the allowed users in sshd_config; use fail2ban | 17:26 |
| fdoving | Juz_moi: does not come with firefox. | 17:26 |
| Juz_moi | ok tnx | 17:27 |
| Yammeh | How do I disable compiz? | 17:27 |
| hitmanWilly | bottiger: you can set it to ban people for any number of faile logins IIRC | 17:27 |
| WaltzingAlong | Yammeh: kwin --replace | 17:27 |
| hitmanWilly | bottiger: admitedly, im a little rusty with it | 17:27 |
| WaltzingAlong | Yammeh: some suggestions here http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/87 | 17:28 |
| bottiger | ok - I think I'll take a look at sshd_config | 17:28 |
| hitmanWilly | bottiger: do you do any remote admin on this box? | 17:28 |
| WaltzingAlong | !info fail2ban | bottiger | 17:28 |
| ubotu | bottiger: fail2ban: bans IPs that cause multiple authentication errors. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.1-1 (gutsy), package size 75 kB, installed size 572 kB | 17:28 |

| WaltzingAlong | /etc/init.d/sshd reload ? | 17:28 |
| hitmanWilly | is it reload or restart? | 17:28 |
| bottiger | WaltzingAlong: yes - but what *if* something went wrong? | 17:29 |
| bottiger | ubotu: I'm only running feisty | 17:29 |
| WaltzingAlong | bottiger: so you know that you were trying to log in but typed the wrong password 3 times. yup you wait 10 minutes before trying again and you know that already (or however you configure it) | 17:29 |
| bottiger | blah - a bot :P | 17:29 |
| WaltzingAlong | !info fail2ban feisty | bottiger | 17:29 |
| hitmanWilly | bottiger: change it back and restart it again :) | 17:29 |

| WaltzingAlong | bottiger: if you know good ips to always accept then you can use host allow/deny files; otherwise sshd config with allowed users and the max retries in a given amount of time | 17:30 |
| hitmanWilly | bottiger: also, i would reccomend disabling sudo for remote login, unless you need to do remote admin | 17:31 |
| vbgunz | I have a general offtopic question... if I convert an mp3 706kbps to ogg 192kbps, I know I lose quality *but* is it lost forever OR can I convert it back to say ogg 706kbps and get great quality again? | 17:32 |
| hitmanWilly | vbgunz: its lost forever in the new file | 17:32 |
| bottiger | hitmanWilly: I don't have physical access to the server, but I would say that my password is safe | 17:32 |
| hitmanWilly | bottiger: ok | 17:33 |
| vbgunz | damn... | 17:33 |
| hitmanWilly | bottiger: heh, my wifi router's password is a random hash, have yet to have someone hack past that :) | 17:34 |
| hitmanWilly | bottiger: that, plus mac filtering | 17:35 |
| SeanTater | vbgunz: Actually, at that bitrate, it's unimportant. a 706kbps is not better (to human ears) than a 256 one, and a 192kbps ogg is probably equally high quality. | 17:37 |
| hitmanWilly | yeah, 192 ogg is still pretty damn good | 17:37 |
| vbgunz | SeanTater: well that eases a bit :) | 17:37 |
| blubb | hmm anyone using function keys to control the sound volume? It looks like a bug, it stopped working here since the update | 17:37 |
| SeanTater | vbgunz: If size is not an issue and you absolutely must have perfect quality, consider flac (which is perfect no matter how you compress it, though it's a big large) | 17:38 |
| Yammeh | !eyecandy | 17:38 |
| ubotu | Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://kubuntu-art.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy | 17:38 |
| hitmanWilly | that's cause flac is more or less a bit for bit copy | 17:38 |
| SeanTater | hitmanWilly: exactly | 17:38 |
| MurielGodoi | vbgunz: what about 128kbps bitrate? | 17:38 |
| vbgunz | turned hundreds of files from all types and bitrates to ogg 192... didn't notice but after the originals were gone, i realized ogg 192 is of medium quality | 17:39 |
| SeanTater | vbgunz: I imagine you did not lose much. | 17:39 |
| vbgunz | I hope so, all of my audio is now in ogg format | 17:39 |
| hitmanWilly | nah, 192 ogg you won't really notice a difference | 17:40 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about path - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 17:40 |
| hitmanWilly | Vermux: what are you trying to do? | 17:40 |
| SeanTater | vbgunz: quality is very subjective, but double blind testing has shown OGG quality 3 to be indestinguishable from the original (quality 3 is 112 kb/s) | 17:41 |
| Vermux | hitmanWilly: read an explanation about the PATH- didnt get it | 17:41 |
| MurielGodoi | hitmanWilly: There is to much difference between 128 ogg and 192 ogg? | 17:41 |
| whatever | anyone has problem with MFC210C (or DCP-120C) under gutsy? it stopped working after I upgrade from Feisty. I know some people have the same problem but no solution | 17:41 |
| hitmanWilly | about 128 is where I start noticing a SLIGHT quality loss | 17:42 |
| SeanTater | MurielGodoi: quality 3 and above are all about the same for the average song. | 17:42 |
| whatever | anyone has problem with MFC210C (or DCP-120C) under gutsy? it stopped working after I upgrade from Feisty. I know some people have the same problem but no solution | 17:42 |
| Vermux | hitmanWilly: I typed echo $PATH. what is it? | 17:42 |
| SeanTater | MurielGodoi: So quality 3 (112kb/s) is what I encodec mine at | 17:42 |
| SeanTater | /encoded/ | 17:43 |
| hitmanWilly | Vermux: the $PATH variable is a list of dirs where the system looks for stuff | 17:43 |
| Yammeh | Is there nowhere I can download a pack of themes and choose form the pack? Rather than downloading one at a time >> | 17:43 |
| MurielGodoi | SeanTater: I'm going to re-rip all my cds and I am in doubt about which bitrate should I use | 17:43 |
| hitmanWilly | Vermux: for example, if you typed say vlc at the command line, it would look in the path dirs for an executable file named vlc | 17:44 |
| Vermux | why it gave me the following:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games? | 17:44 |
| SeanTater | MurielGodoi: Quality 3 is my suggestion, but like I said, you can use FLAC if you want a perfect copy. | 17:44 |
| hitmanWilly | Vermux: that's a default buntu $PATH setup | 17:44 |
| Vermux | hitmanWilly: ? | 17:45 |
| whatever | anyone know how to fix the problem with MFC210C (or DCP-120C) under gutsy? it stopped working after I upgrade from Feisty. I know some people had the same problem but can't find any solution | 17:45 |
| hitmanWilly | Vermux: if an app isn't in the $PATH, you have to reference the full location of the file | 17:45 |
| vbgunz | SeanTater: wow, I am going to try converting some (wav 706) to (ogg 192) and listen again | 17:45 |
| Vermux | hitmanWilly: when I want to execute a file? | 17:46 |
| hitmanWilly | for example, /home/user/vlc/vlc, vice just typing vlc | 17:46 |

| underdog5004 | What is the reason for having some of the "hidden" folders in my /home/underdog5004/ not be me-accesible? | 17:47 |
| whatever | SeanTater: ok.. thanx | 17:47 |
| hitmanWilly | Vermux: very rarely would you ever need to, about the only reason is if the system can't find something that's in an odd location | 17:48 |
| SeanTater | underdog5004: specifically which files? | 17:48 |
| Vermux | hitmanWilly: so the default ubuntu PATH doesnt need to be modified, right? | 17:48 |
| hitmanWilly | Vermux: no | 17:48 |
| Linoob | if it aint broke dont try to fix it | 17:48 |
| Linoob | :-) | 17:49 |
| hitmanWilly | Vermux: unless you have a real reason to do so | 17:49 |
| Vermux | hitmanWilly: Im wondering how the directory /games is related to the PATH? | 17:49 |
| hitmanWilly | Vermux: that's where game stuff is stored, kept seperate from the main system apps | 17:49 |
| SeanTater | underdog5004: the folder ".." is not in your home folder (it's another name for the directory above) and the others are usually created by programs you ran a root. | 17:50 |
| hitmanWilly | Vermux: say you wanted a user to be able to play games, but not format disks, you'd simply give them access to the /games directory | 17:50 |
| Vermux | so each section of the PATH is between the ":"? the computer will look at each section when Im trying to execute a command? | 17:50 |
| Linoob | 2 games installed already ? | 17:50 |
| Linoob | fortune ? | 17:50 |
| Linoob | and banner | 17:50 |
| Linoob | i dont think that are games | 17:51 |
| hitmanWilly | Vermux: yes, in the order they are listed | 17:51 |

| SeanTater | werty: if you want the Kubuntu login manager, you can install "kdm" but that not necessary. | 17:55 |
| hitmanWilly | werty: yes, but you don't even need full gnome installed to do that | 17:55 |
| SeanTater | werty: yes, just like you can use KDE apps through gnome | 17:56 |

| Tm_T | crazy6: as beta | 19:16 |
| crazy6 | hrm ok | 19:16 |
| crazy6 | blast it all, this laptop has an ATI chipset, and it seems that compiz, etc isn't terribly easy to get working on that, even with 7.10 ... | 19:17 |
| F_M | All right, Infra just froze, probably killed a RW CD | 19:17 |

| snowdonkey | Anyone know how to change the default file manager from Dolphin to KDE? | 19:22 |
| tribunloki | heute versuche ich meinen Einstieg | 19:22 |
| snowdonkey | lol, to Konqueror | 19:22 |
| ||arifaX | tribunloki: versuch mal mit /join #kubuntu-de in den deutschen channel zu wechseln | 19:23 |
| hero | what application does one use to change the kdm theme? | 19:23 |
| MetaMorfoziS | hero apt-get install kdmtheme | 19:23 |
| MetaMorfoziS | thats adds a new menu to your kcontrol (under the system foo) | 19:23 |
| MetaMorfoziS | that enables you to change the themes | 19:23 |
| hero | ok, i have done that, but i can't seem to run it or find it anywhere | 19:24 |
| emilsedgh | hero: SystemSettings->Advanced->Login Manager, i think | 19:24 |
| MetaMorfoziS | ^ | 19:24 |
| MetaMorfoziS | yeah | 19:24 |
| MetaMorfoziS | but not bad if you know, you only need: | 19:24 |
| hero | so what file is the theme manager looking for? | 19:24 |
| MetaMorfoziS | - download & extract, and edit the /etc/kde3/kdmrc file (find the line that starts with "Theme=....") | 19:24 |
| MetaMorfoziS | that's all | 19:24 |
| pomos_ | how ca i disable the joins/quits at Konversation??????? | 19:29 |
| ruben | mm | 19:32 |
| mmschnei | I feel stupid for having to ask this but I set a hotkey to start konqueror, I want to remove it but I can't find it. I have poked around kcontrol's "keyboard shortcuts" dialog but I am not seeing it there. I could be missing it, but is there anywhere else I should be looking? | 19:32 |
| kjellviz | hi there | 19:32 |
| kjellviz | i just downloaded and installed 7.10 | 19:33 |
| kjellviz | and when i search in adpet i cant find much of my normal applications | 19:33 |
| kjellviz | like Opera or Kmess | 19:33 |
| MurielGodoi | Hi, anyone knows how install the hp analog tv tunner device on Gutsy (1164:0601)? | 19:33 |
| mmschnei | opera is not part of kubuntu | 19:33 |
| mmschnei | kjellviz: are you coming from another distro? | 19:33 |
| soujiro | hola chicos | 19:34 |
| kjellviz | kinda but not really :P | 19:34 |
| kjellviz | ive run ubuntu and pclinuxos | 19:34 |
| kjellviz | ubuntu had opera in repos | 19:34 |
| mmschnei | Well Opera is not usually in the (K)Ubuntu repositories | 19:34 |
| soujiro | how can i install fglrx from .run for and build a pkg for gutsy? | 19:34 |
| === anderson_ is now known as anderson | ||
| kjellviz | maybe not in the supported repos no, but in the alternative repos at least | 19:35 |
| mmschnei | kjellviz: I am new around here too, but basically to install opera you need to find another repository that has it and then add it. There are instrucitons online if you google. Sorry I am not of more help, I ahve that on my todo list as well. | 19:35 |
| kjellviz | and kmess was in kubuntu repos im sure | 19:35 |
| mmschnei | What is kmess? | 19:35 |
| kjellviz | kde messenger (msn) | 19:35 |
| mmschnei | ah | 19:35 |
| mmschnei | let me see if I have it in mine | 19:35 |
| === another is now known as dvayanu | ||
| kjellviz | thanks | 19:36 |
| mmschnei | it is showing up for me and as of right now I don't think I have adeded any | 19:36 |
| mmschnei | looks like it is part of Universe | 19:36 |
| mmschnei | have you enabled that? | 19:37 |
| kjellviz | sec ill check | 19:37 |
| kjellviz | hmmm can find "universe" anywhere | 19:37 |
| mmschnei | are you using adept? | 19:37 |
| kjellviz | in "Edit Software Sources" right ? | 19:37 |
| kjellviz | yeh | 19:38 |
| mmschnei | Let me figure this out, I've been using synaptic, I just liked the layout better for being a newb. | 19:38 |
| kjellviz | hehe | 19:38 |
| epimeth | hrm.... better to upgrade according to whats on the site or to manually edit sources.list to gutsy? and apt-get dist-upgrade ? | 19:38 |
| mmschnei | epimeth: I'd guess go with whats on the site, I doubt. | 19:39 |
| mmschnei | I doubt that they'd make it better for manually upgrading | 19:39 |
| mmschnei | but once again.... total n00b here, at least to ubuntu | 19:39 |
| kjellviz | lol ssry mmschnei | 19:39 |
| mmschnei | kjellviz: | 19:39 |
| mmschnei | k | 19:39 |
| mmschnei | got it | 19:39 |
| kjellviz | ive activated universe rep yes | 19:39 |
| mmschnei | and no kmess still? | 19:39 |
| kjellviz | i just now found out its in () at the end of the repos names >< | 19:40 |
| kjellviz | nope, no kmess | 19:40 |
| mmschnei | ok | 19:40 |
| mmschnei | still in the software sources window | 19:40 |
| kjellviz | im thinking it might be wrong tbh | 19:40 |
| kjellviz | yeh ? | 19:40 |
| mmschnei | in the Third-Party software tab what do you have enabled? | 19:40 |
| kjellviz | all 3 | 19:40 |
| kjellviz | cdrom is one of them | 19:41 |
| kjellviz | some archive at canonical | 19:41 |
| mmschnei | ok, I only have the middle one, no need for source and I'd prefer not to have it prompt me for the disc | 19:41 |
| kjellviz | and same only sources | 19:41 |
| mmschnei | but that shoudln't matter | 19:41 |
| mmschnei | hrmm | 19:41 |
| mmschnei | not sure yet | 19:41 |
| mmschnei | let me poke around another minute here | 19:41 |
| mmschnei | oh | 19:41 |
| mmschnei | on the first tab, "Kubuntu Software" | 19:42 |
| kjellviz | yeh? | 19:42 |
| [ifr0g] | What id i want to set the font size between 7 and 8 ?? | 19:42 |
| mmschnei | where is "Download form:" set to? | 19:42 |
| kjellviz | main server | 19:42 |
| CPrgmSwR2 | Hi, I just downloaded and installed fglrx 8.42.3, but how do I enable xcomposite? | 19:42 |
| mmschnei | I have mine on US, not sure if you're a US user, and honestly that shouldn't make a difference, but lets go ahead and give it a shot. | 19:42 |
| kjellviz | im EU user, but ill try =) | 19:42 |
| mmschnei | make sure to "fetch updates" after you click close on that window. | 19:43 |
| mmschnei | well nm | 19:43 |
| kjellviz | ye did that, still no kmess | 19:43 |
| mmschnei | it prompts you to reload, do that. | 19:43 |
| kjellviz | but funny part is | 19:43 |
| kjellviz | when i search for kmess | 19:43 |
| mmschnei | ? | 19:43 |
| The_Machine | my front speakers in kmix are only at 75% each time KDE starts. How can i make it so they automatically start at 100% volume? | 19:43 |
| kjellviz | it lists Internet on the left hand side | 19:43 |
| kjellviz | as if it knows its a internet applicaiton | 19:44 |
| mmschnei | yeah, thats kinda odd | 19:44 |
| kjellviz | it just dont wanna show me it ^^ | 19:44 |
| mmschnei | let me check a few more things here | 19:44 |
| mmschnei | wait | 19:44 |
| mmschnei | this is in adept_manager? | 19:44 |
| kjellviz | ok thansk for the help so far =D | 19:44 |
| kjellviz | Adept Installer | 19:44 |
| mmschnei | I think you are using the old version some how | 19:44 |
| mmschnei | oh ok | 19:44 |
| mmschnei | let me load that | 19:44 |
| mmschnei | odd, that command loads syanptic for me | 19:45 |
| kjellviz | ohh maybe this is relevant; i have just installed Kubuntu, not downloaded any updates | 19:45 |
| mmschnei | oh | 19:45 |
| mmschnei | go ahead and try that. | 19:46 |
| kjellviz | will do | 19:46 |
| mmschnei | liek nothing at all, just literally installed a few mins ago? not tried installing much other software yet? | 19:46 |
| kjellviz | i got scared of updating thru adept on a earlier attempt on using kubuntu | 19:46 |
| kjellviz | >< | 19:46 |
| kjellviz | installed last night, searched adpet for kmess, could not find, turned off comp and now im here | 19:46 |
| kjellviz | ^^ | 19:46 |
| mmschnei | ah | 19:47 |
| kjellviz | so havent installed anything yet | 19:47 |
| mmschnei | yeah, sounds like you just need the initial update then | 19:47 |
| mmschnei | =) | 19:47 |
| kjellviz | we'll see | 19:47 |
| mmschnei | it doesn't have the repositories cached yet to know where to find it. | 19:47 |
| kjellviz | last time i updated with adept it mesed up my install >< | 19:47 |
| mmschnei | how? | 19:47 |
| kjellviz | lost bluetooth | 19:47 |
| mmschnei | odd | 19:47 |
| kjellviz | w000t 0o | 19:47 |
| mmschnei | =) | 19:48 |
| mmschnei | I like the sound of htat. | 19:48 |
| kjellviz | new distriibution version avail it says | 19:48 |
| kjellviz | 0o | 19:48 |
| mmschnei | its ok | 19:48 |
| mmschnei | go ahead | 19:48 |
| mmschnei | I had the same thing happen | 19:48 |
| mmschnei | it seemed odd | 19:48 |
| kjellviz | but, 7.10 is laters right ? | 19:48 |
| mmschnei | yes | 19:48 |
| mmschnei | I think its just an update of some of the core utils from the release version | 19:48 |
| kjellviz | ok while waiting for that | 19:48 |
| mmschnei | I think they kinda rushed it | 19:48 |
| mmschnei | but I could be wrong. | 19:49 |
| kjellviz | do u know how to use kde4? (was trying on another user account but could only find 3.5) | 19:49 |
| mmschnei | not sure off hand, I know there are a few guides out there on the net. | 19:49 |
| kjellviz | kk will google on that | 19:49 |
| mmschnei | I just got installed a few days ago and I am still slowly trackign down all of my bugs too, thats on my todo list as well | 19:49 |
| kjellviz | hehe ok | 19:50 |
| mmschnei | I can't believe that KDE4 is slated for Dec-11th I have been watching the development of it for literally years now. | 19:50 |

| Cannoli | the advanced one is called gimp? | 19:51 |
| sub[t]rnl | i say use gimp | 19:51 |
| sub[t]rnl | :D | 19:51 |
| mmschnei | Cannoli: yeah, thats the most commmon one | 19:51 |
| Cannoli | kk | 19:51 |
| Tm_T | Gimp or Krita | 19:51 |
| mmschnei | Cannoli: it might be too much if you jsut want to doodle or for kids | 19:51 |
| Cannoli | tahnx | 19:51 |
| mmschnei | np | 19:51 |
| Cannoli | nah i was gonna install it either way | 19:51 |
| n8k99 | tuxpaint for kids to doodle | 19:51 |
| Cannoli | buti have time now | 19:51 |
| Cannoli | so wht not | 19:52 |
| mmschnei | Cannoli: GIMP comes somewhat close to photosohp | 19:52 |
| Cannoli | why not* | 19:52 |
| kjellviz | mmschnei: u know what ? | 19:52 |
| kjellviz | it worked ^^ | 19:52 |
| mmschnei | kjellviz: awesome! | 19:52 |
| n8k99 | my 2 yr old loves it, especially the way it plays sounds along with the painting | 19:52 |
| mmschnei | kjellviz: I would change your sources back to non-US for speed | 19:52 |
| kjellviz | thanks for helping me finding the solution | 19:52 |
| mmschnei | kjellviz: np =) | 19:52 |
| kjellviz | prob a good idea ye | 19:52 |
| mmschnei | kjellviz: pay it forward, help someone else here someday =) | 19:52 |
| kjellviz | i do every day | 19:53 |
| mmschnei | kjellviz: I just intalled Kmess, does this do webcam support? | 19:53 |
| kjellviz | except i get paid for it | 19:53 |
| kjellviz | lol | 19:53 |
| Cannoli | n8k99: how do u manage to keep ur n8k99 from smashing the keyboard, and opening random windows and stuff? | 19:53 |
| kjellviz | no idea, dont use it for those kind of things :P | 19:53 |
| n8k99 | Cannoli: she has her own computer | 19:53 |
| mmschnei | kjellviz: ah, well why not use pidgin? (just curious) | 19:53 |
| n8k99 | and her account does not have sudo so there's nothing that she can do to mess it up | 19:54 |
| kjellviz | mmschnei: cos i like the gui on kmess better, and i think pidgin is too gnomish | 19:54 |
| Cannoli | oh | 19:54 |
| Cannoli | awesome | 19:54 |
| mmschnei | kjellviz: good call. | 19:54 |
| mmschnei | I just use AIM, MSN, GTALK, and Y! every day and I dont like kopete so I am using gaim. | 19:54 |
| mmschnei | err Pidgin now I guess. | 19:54 |
| n8k99 | Cannoli: an old Dell that can run edubuntu is all she needs now | 19:54 |
| Cannoli | n8k99: i have a 20month old bro, can i set up an account that doesnt have sudo on this pc for him? | 19:54 |
| kjellviz | hehe | 19:54 |
| kjellviz | mmschnei: i actually preferred gaim over pidgin | 19:54 |
| morphinex | I'm trying to do some file management w/ konqueror, how can I grant myself the ability to write to all directories? | 19:55 |
| mmschnei | kjellviz: yeah I kinda do to | 19:55 |
| n8k99 | yes when you set up a new user, that account doesn't have sudo automatically | 19:55 |
| morphinex | ... other than starting it with kdesu from the command line | 19:55 |
| mmschnei | but I figure pidgin is the future of it, might as well get used to it. | 19:55 |
| Cannoli | ok | 19:55 |
| Cannoli | so wht can that account do | 19:55 |
| Cannoli | cause i dont want him totally distroying my pc | 19:55 |
| Cannoli | :P | 19:55 |
| Cannoli | like even on a limited account on windows he manages to like shut it down or open a billion programs | 19:55 |
| Cannoli | XD | 19:55 |
| kjellviz | mmschnei: ye ofc, gaim aint getting updates so... but i only use msn and occasionally skype | 19:56 |
| kjellviz | so kmess works fine for me =) | 19:56 |
| mmschnei | Hey guys, I cannot type a capital "c" with shift + c, just capslock <on> + c. I have mapped it to something stupidly, is there a quick way to check? | 19:56 |
| n8k99 | Cannoli: well the basic set up is really different between the two OSes | 19:56 |
| n8k99 | Cannoli: but she is relatively safe in her account | 19:56 |
| Cannoli | lets say u had more programs installed though | 19:57 |
| Cannoli | would she be able to open them and mess around with those? | 19:57 |
| n8k99 | Cannoli: I'd recommend installing Gcompris as it has several boards that are at the right level for young kids | 19:57 |
| kjellviz | mmschnei: System settings - > Keyboard & mouse -> Shortcuts ? | 19:57 |
| Cannoli | or shouldi just load up a livecd everytime he wants on the pc? | 19:57 |
| Cannoli | !gcompris | 19:58 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about gcompris - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 19:58 |
| Cannoli | !Gcompris | 19:58 |
| kjellviz | brb need water =) | 19:58 |
| mmschnei | kjellviz: hrmm, wonder if thats diff than kcontrols... kjellviz can you get me the command acutally excuted when you click on system settings? (I've remmapped mine from that prog to kcontrol) | 19:58 |
| Cannoli | !Gcompris | 19:58 |
| n8k99 | if he has his own account which does not have sudo, there is nothing that he can really do to the system | 19:58 |
| Cannoli | i think i broke the bot XD | 19:58 |
| n8k99 | and he's data will be separate from your data, cause they are in different directories | 19:59 |
| Cannoli | ic | 19:59 |
| Cannoli | so whts the worse he can do :S | 20:00 |
| kjellviz | mmschnei: humm not sure where to go about to find that out >< | 20:00 |
| mmschnei | kjellviz: right click on it, click edit | 20:00 |
| jpnurmi | can i install kubuntu from an usb-stick somehow? | 20:00 |
| kjellviz | heh found it ye >< | 20:00 |
| kjellviz | systemsettings -caption "%c" %i %m | 20:00 |
| Cannoli | like he cant delete stuff, he cant install stuff, | 20:00 |
| n8k99 | Cannoli: really not much | 20:00 |
| Cannoli | alright, thanx n8k99 | 20:00 |
| n8k99 | other than physical damage to t eh keybd | 20:00 |
| n8k99 | your welcome | 20:01 |
| Cannoli | imma set up an account for him now | 20:01 |
| Cannoli | hahah yea | 20:01 |
| Cannoli | crazy little ankle biter | 20:01 |
| Cannoli | :P | 20:01 |
| mmschnei | keybashmaniac: thanks | 20:01 |
| mmschnei | err | 20:01 |
| mmschnei | kjellviz: thanks | 20:01 |
| n8k99 | that's why we set up one with a kids kybd/mouse and a really bulletproof monitor! | 20:01 |
| n8k99 | hehe | 20:01 |
| kjellviz | hey np =) | 20:01 |
| Cannoli | hah | 20:01 |
| Cannoli | i think i have one downstairts | 20:02 |
| mmschnei | hrmm, same dialog, not seeing anything bound to shift + c | 20:02 |
| Cannoli | we just dont have room | 20:02 |
| Cannoli | and tht would bring total # of pcs up to 4 | 20:02 |
| Cannoli | XD | 20:02 |
| mmschnei | bulletproof monitor eh? | 20:02 |
| keybashmaniac | hey anytime anyone wants to randomly thank me - thats OK :) | 20:02 |

| trilobit | I have a very strange Problem with the update feisty->gutsy on a HP dx 5150 (Radeon X300) the xorg.conf seems to be fine but wenn the xserver starts up it seems that the xserver thinks to have only a 640x400 resolution monitor. the effect ist very strange I can use the hole manitor with the usual 1280 x 1024 @ 60 H only but al drop down menues and so one...only use the 640x400 angle on the lefttop | 20:29 |

| Cirno | I've got a few questions. | 21:08 |
| sub[t]rnl | ruh roh | 21:09 |
| Cirno | I used to use *buntu about half a year ago, then got rid of them and now I'm interested in going back. | 21:09 |
| Cirno | I downloaded Kubuntu 7.10, figuring I'd give KDE a try this time around since I typically used gnome | 21:09 |
| Cirno | On my PC the live CD has issues. When the live OS loads, it gets past the splash screen, I see the little graphic loading the different modules pop up, and at the second or third my monitor shuts off. | 21:10 |
| Black_Monkey | hi, I'm upgrading to gutsy, and it just said that it can't install debconf - is this an important package? (sorry if this is a stupid question) | 21:10 |
| Absol_X | maybe is the screen saver | 21:10 |
| Cirno | Then the power light starts blinking, like it does when it's plugged in but the computer isn't sending any signal. | 21:10 |
| Absol_X | try moving the mouse | 21:11 |
| NeoFax | Cirno: Do CTRL+ALT+F2 | 21:11 |
| sub[t]rnl | Cirno: ATI? | 21:11 |
| NeoFax | This will get u to a command prompt. Then do cat /var/lo/Xorg.0.log | 21:11 |
| Cirno | No, NVidia | 21:11 |
| Cirno | GeForce 7600 GS | 21:11 |
| NeoFax | Check if there is any line that has EE on it | 21:11 |
| NeoFax | Or do cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE | 21:12 |
| werty | when i boot somewhere in the middle before the login screen appears i have a messagr among othrers..:"..]intel_rng: FWH not detected" what does it mean? | 21:12 |
| Absol_X | may be you computer is not an Intel | 21:13 |
| Cirno | Okay, I'll try that in my next attempt. | 21:13 |
| sub[t]rnl | Cirno: install it in safe graphics mode | 21:13 |
| werty | it is intel centrino | 21:13 |
| Cirno | Safe graphics mode also shuts the monitor off. | 21:13 |
| Absol_X | oh | 21:13 |
| NeoFax | Or grab the Alternate install iso | 21:13 |
| esperegu | hey... my titlebars are gone... any ideawhich part might have died? | 21:13 |

| NeoFax | esperegu: run emerald && | 21:14 |

| Cirno | I DID get it installed on my laptop | 21:14 |
| Cirno | (A Toshiba Satellite A50) | 21:14 |
| Cirno | But it takes 3 minutes to boot up. | 21:14 |
| sub[t]rnl | Cirno: highlight safe graphics mode, then hit f6 and change splash to nosplash | 21:14 |
| Absol_X | well got to go, see ya | 21:14 |
| sub[t]rnl | then boot it up | 21:14 |
| taylan | Cirno I hve same laptop is there a problem with drivers | 21:14 |

| NeoFax | Cirno: Sorry I meant ALT+F2 and then type kcontrol | 21:16 |
| Cirno | Oh, also there's no bootup splash in the laptop installation. | 21:16 |
| Cirno | That's not a huge issue, I'd rather sort out this slow booting first. | 21:16 |

| NeoFax | esperegu: I use it on sidux with a NVIDIA GeForce 7300 and it works fine except when I want to play games. | 21:19 |
| sub[t]rnl | esperegu: compiz had a memory leak when i first started using it. One of the plugins wasn't freeing up the allocated memory, and it eventually soaked up all my ram. But now that its sorted, it really doesn't hamper my system, and the cube increases my performance | 21:19 |
| sub[t]rnl | it all depends on what kind of resources you have to spare | 21:19 |

| NeoFax | med416: U would have to use adept to look for character and then install the file. It will show up on ur menu then | 21:27 |
| NeoFax | Black_Monkey: Why not do CTRL+ALT+F1 and login at the command prompt. Then do sudo apt-get -f install | 21:28 |

| sacater | hey guys, i have 4 virtual desktops and a pager, what are the shortcut keys to switch between these desktops | 21:31 |
| Black_Monkey | NeoFax: currently it says "Preparing to configure libgcrypt11" | 21:31 |
| WaltzingAlong | con cosa? firefox? konqueror? | 21:31 |
| Black_Monkey | at 2% of the installation | 21:31 |
| bernard0 | is there any bug or incompatibilty installing ubuntu gutsy in some special desktop? | 21:31 |
| luigi | firefox | 21:31 |

| NeoFax | Black_Monkey: Go to CTRL+ALT+F5(I think this is the tty that ubuntu uses to show what is happening) and check to see if that is where it really stalled. | 21:32 |
| WaltzingAlong | luigi: scusi ma prova /join #ubuntu-it | 21:32 |
| martoss_2 | hmm ok, i have only loopback in my interfaces | 21:34 |
| Black_Monkey | NeoFax: it just shows a normal login prompt | 21:34 |
| blubb | does anyone know the name of the kde menu updater tool? That tool should find programms that are not in my kmenu | 21:34 |
| martoss_2 | how to restart network manager /etc/init.d/networking restart did not help | 21:35 |
| WaltzingAlong | blubb: you just installed something but the shortcut is not there yet? | 21:35 |
| NeoFax | Black_Monkey: try the others from F1 to F12 but skip F7. If it is not on any of these, I don't know where ubuntu sends the log | 21:35 |
| taylan | I wrote "locate qstring.h" and get nothing | 21:35 |
| WaltzingAlong | blubb: if that is what you mean, you can run kbuildsycoca | 21:35 |
| blubb | WaltzingAlong: I don't think so | 21:36 |
| Black_Monkey | NeoFax: 1-6 are login, 8 is bootup, and 9-12 are blank, just the cursor | 21:36 |
| blubb | it was something like kmenuupdate | 21:36 |

| expose | NeoFax: that was kind of the worst idea to do. the commands as you wrote them neither asked for overwriting, nor removed my configs. | 21:38 |
| expose | NeoFax: removing cups, removing the configs, reinstalling cups ends up with a cups but no configs. | 21:38 |
| expose | NeoFax: and cups wont regenerate them automagically either. | 21:38 |
| dthacker-lt | join #ubuntu-us | 21:38 |
| dthacker-lt | oops sorry | 21:38 |
| NeoFax | expose: correct. Now u can start over with http://localhost:631 and configure ur printer from there | 21:38 |
| expose | NeoFax: nope - i cant, because it will crash without a proper config to start out with. | 21:39 |
| martoss_2 | ok, reinstalled network-manager package and it works... thx NeoFAx | 21:39 |
| Black_Monkey | NeoFax: dpkg.log shows package installs, the last one being libgcrypt11 | 21:39 |
| expose | and besides that again, apt will crash, because that stupid post-install configuration will crash when cups does but will not generate a working config, so that cups can work | 21:40 |
| NeoFax | when u reinstalled cups it will install a cups.conf file | 21:40 |
| expose | NeoFax: it wont even regenerate the /etc/cups dir if i delete it. | 21:40 |
| expose | _although_ that should be part of the cupsys pkg | 21:41 |
| NeoFax | Black_Monkey: try(just guessing here) doing sudo apt-get install libgcrypt11 in the command prompt | 21:41 |
| NeoFax | expose: Why would apt generate an error on cups install? | 21:41 |
| Black_Monkey | NeoFax: so close the distribution upgrade then? apt-get won't work whilst it's still running | 21:42 |
| no0tic | does pppd depend to ipv6? I blacklisted ipv6 module and pppd exited with status 16 (modem hang up) | 21:42 |

| trappist | any howtos on getting compiz-fusion working with kubuntu gutsy with an intel card? | 21:43 |
| expose | NeoFax: that has absolutly no effect. | 21:43 |
| WaltzingAlong | !compiz | trappist | 21:43 |
| ubotu | trappist: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 21:43 |
| sub[t]rnl | trappist: I use compiz-fusion with xserver-xorg-video-intel, runs great | 21:43 |
| trappist | WaltzingAlong: thanks! | 21:43 |
| * WaltzingAlong nods | 21:43 | |
| NeoFax | expose: Then check what package contains the cups.conf file and reinstall that. Then do apt-get -f install | 21:44 |
| expose | NeoFax: let's start out at the very beginning: (sudo for all of them) killall -9 cupsd && apt-get remove cupsys && rm -rf /etc/cups | 21:44 |
| trappist | WaltzingAlong: this howto doesn't address my issues | 21:45 |
| expose | NeoFax: cupsys contains it. | 21:45 |
| expose | NeoFax: as i said before. | 21:45 |
| WaltzingAlong | trappist: what is your issue? | 21:45 |
| trappist | sub[t]rnl: did you have to do anything special? | 21:45 |
| trappist | WaltzingAlong: compiz won't start due to no Xgl | 21:45 |
| NeoFax | expose: Why rm -rf /etc/cups? | 21:45 |
| expose | NeoFax: now, after i issue those commands, and try to -f install cupsys i get the following | 21:45 |
| WaltzingAlong | trappist: sudo aptitude install xserver-xgl ? | 21:45 |
| expose | NeoFax: because that's what i did. why not? | 21:45 |
| expose | NeoFax: i expect a package to properly install under those conditions. | 21:45 |
| NeoFax | on directorys like that I would never do it unless I backed it up first | 21:46 |
| trappist | WaltzingAlong: trying that now, thanks. my previous box had everything working great, but that was an nvidia card. | 21:46 |
| expose | NeoFax: it shouldnt matter, because the dir is part of the pkg. | 21:46 |
| expose | i expect a packge to install if i never installed it before. and that is what /etc would look like if i'd have never done so. | 21:47 |
| Black_Monkey | NeoFax: it's saying the database area is being used by another program, but I can't see anything in ps x | 21:47 |
| WaltzingAlong | !aptfix | 21:47 |
| ubotu | If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 21:47 |
| NeoFax | Black_Monkey: Try ps aux | grep apt | 21:47 |
| michal_ | NeoFax: it worked (mounted the partition), but I still can't write. It looks as if there's no additional soft (like before installing ntfs-3g) | 21:47 |
| Black_Monkey | ah, thanks | 21:47 |
| WaltzingAlong | trappist: there may be a 'small fact' on ubuto about getting what you need for 3d accel with the intel cards | 21:47 |
| robinson | Hey- running kubuntu gutsy. It keeps telling me there is a new version available when i run my updates through adept.. I am already running gutsy... How do i get rid of this? | 21:47 |
| robinson | this was installed from the beta, and all updates have been run, so is this not the final? | 21:48 |
| Black_Monkey | NeoFax: nothing on that | 21:48 |
| WaltzingAlong | robinson: it is final. that is a known error. a fix is in a package in gutsy-proposed | 21:48 |
| venik | has anyone managed to UPDATE to 7.1 from 7.04, or is it always a Fresh Install? (I know that this is the recommended procedure, but it is such a pain.....) | 21:48 |
| ScorpKing | michal_: permissions problem? | 21:48 |
| trappist | WaltzingAlong: what's that? ps, I installed xserver-xgl just now and it still says it's "not present" | 21:48 |
| robinson | WaltzingAlong: so just install that package through adept, and problem solved? | 21:48 |
| Daisuke_Ido | venik: updating is much smoother now, i'm guessing you haven't tried it. | 21:49 |
| NeoFax | expose: I would have done a prune instead. Anyhow, so when u run sudo apt-get install cupsys u get the same error of configure? | 21:49 |
| WaltzingAlong | venik: i have experience with 3 from 7.04 to 7.10 | 21:49 |
| Daisuke_Ido | i would imagine MOST people updated instead of installing fresh | 21:49 |
| venik | I have the ISO-- can it be used for updating? | 21:49 |
| michal_ | ScorpKing: I guess so (not problem user) | 21:49 |
| NeoFax | Black_Monkey: Then do like ubotu said and delete the lock file | 21:49 |
| WaltzingAlong | venik: the desktop/live, no | 21:49 |
| expose | NeoFax: which error do you talk about now? | 21:49 |
| Black_Monkey | WaltzingAlong: I did that command, it asks me if I want to kill dpkg, then it says it's locked | 21:49 |
| venik | so how do I update? | 21:49 |
| WaltzingAlong | !topic | venik | 21:50 |

| savetheWorld | hi. anyone know the name of the sshd package? | 21:51 |
| NeoFax | expose: Try going to /var/cache/apt/archives and deleting the cups* deb files | 21:51 |
| WaltzingAlong | savetheWorld: openssh-server | 21:51 |
| expose | savetheWorld: apt-cache search openssh | 21:51 |
| NeoFax | Then do a sudo apt-get -f install | 21:51 |
| savetheWorld | gracias! | 21:51 |
| expose | NeoFax: if a *.deb was broken it wouldnt install because of mismatching checksums. so that shouldnt help at all. | 21:52 |
| the-erm | NeoFax: I just seem to remember what driver I used. I lost my remote, and as I recall I could use other remotes. | 21:52 |
| ScorpKing | michal_: sudo chown you:you -R /mountpoint/ will change the ownership of the files to you. | 21:52 |
| Black_Monkey | NeoFax: when doing that command, it gives the same "database is locked" error | 21:52 |
| expose | NeoFax: at least i hope apt uses checksums... | 21:52 |
| sacater | hey guys, i have 4 virtual desktops and a pager, what are the shortcut keys to switch between these desktops | 21:52 |
| NeoFax | expose: Not necessarily true. I have done this in the past and it works. Sometimes apt is obstinate | 21:53 |
| WaltzingAlong | robinson: using adept manager, if you have software-properties-kde installed, adept menu/manage repositories/ then on the updates tab, click pre-released updates; then update and upgrade | 21:53 |
| Cannoli | !zip | 21:53 |

| WaltzingAlong | venik: yeah perhaps not all that straight forward. | 21:59 |

| chx | I can't get kftpgrabber to download multiple threads at once. i feel n00b. how can i do that? | 22:01 |
| NeoFax | expose: That file checks first to see if there is a valid /etc/ports.conf file. If not, it returns an error. Maybe debian has a cups.conf file in there skeleton file directory that is put there in the first place. | 22:02 |
| NeoFax | Black_Monkey: Yes | 22:02 |
| WaltzingAlong | !final | 22:02 |
| ubotu | If you installed a Tribe/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Gutsy. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console. | 22:02 |
| expose | NeoFax: apt doesnt do _anything_ to that /etc/cups as it seems. | 22:02 |
| SeanTater | chx: You might not need kftpgrabber at all, as konqueror supports ftp along with numerous other protocols. If you are trying to download two things at once using konqueror, you can usually just drag them separately. | 22:03 |

| expose | NeoFax: sure | 22:13 |
| Cugel | I recommend Envy to get new drivers. | 22:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | NO | 22:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | !envy | 22:13 |
| ubotu | envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly! | 22:13 |
| bjwebb | okay this is freaky | 22:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | do not use envy | 22:13 |
| bjwebb | all my windows are moving steadily up | 22:14 |
| bjwebb | wtf | 22:14 |
| Cugel | Why not. | 22:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | read ^ | 22:14 |
| bjwebb | help | 22:14 |
| Cugel | Yeah, that text is wrong. | 22:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | there's already a restricted driver manager in place in kubuntu, and the drivers are in the repos | 22:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Cugel: YOU tell the devs that | 22:14 |
| bjwebb | my stuffs slowly dissapearing | 22:14 |
| Doctor_Nick | Daisuke_Ido: really really outdated drivers, yeah | 22:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | envy is neither supported nor recommended here | 22:14 |
| sub[t]rnl | now you can create an icon pointing to your file from the desktop | 22:14 |

| Doctor_Nick | the ones without the crucial fixes for aiglx | 22:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | so wait | 22:15 |
| Doctor_Nick | Daisuke_Ido: 6 months for the next ubuntu release? | 22:15 |
| Cugel | Still. | 22:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | drivers will be updated before then | 22:15 |
| Doctor_Nick | because that seems like the only time that the drivers are ever updated | 22:15 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and if you have to wait until a release for new drivers, you should have brand friggin new ones, 7.10 was released less than a week ago! | 22:16 |
| NeoFax | If so, do sudo cat /var/lib/dpkg/status and look for cupsys. It should have an error. Also, u may have a directory updates that has all of the deb unpackaged and u can possibly move that to /etc/cups | 22:16 |
| chx | next question, this shoudl be downright trivial, when i insert a dvd disk , a usb stick etc i get a prompt of what to do w/ it and if i click it gets mounted . a) i do not need that prompt thanks b) just mount it please. | 22:17 |

| Lars_G | NickPresta: did you find your own solution? | 22:20 |
| NickPresta | Lars_G, since the nvidia drivers were just one of my problems, I did a fresh install and everything seems to work, even when I install all the same packages I had before. Perhaps a configuration got mucked up somewhere. *shrugs* | 22:20 |
| Lars_G | NickPresta: Ah well I'm about to backup to do a fresh install myself | 22:20 |

| lerneaen_hydra | no, probably not, seems a bit too much like gnome for my taste | 23:04 |
| Dragnslcr | I barely ever used Konqueror anyway | 23:05 |
| x_link | NeoFax: Just write my nickname if you find anything, so that I can see that you are taling to me. | 23:05 |
| NeoFax | x_link: Check out this website: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Konqueror+"natural"+file+sorting+(idea)?content=40659&PHPSESSID=ca03e058b90 | 23:05 |
| NeoFax | It seems it can't be done currently | 23:06 |
| ardchoille | sdlnxgk: There shouldn't ever be a need to delete anything from /etc | 23:06 |
| x_link | NeoFax: Okey, thanks ALOT anyway. | 23:07 |
| x_link | NeoFax: I really appreicate your help | 23:07 |
| x_link | Now I will watch a movie, take care! | 23:07 |
| lerneaen_hydra | anyone happen to know what controls what appears in 'system:/media'? | 23:07 |
| ardchoille | sdlnxgk: And you shouldn't be logging in as root anyway, use sudo. | 23:07 |
| ardchoille | lerneaen_hydra: Mounted devices? | 23:08 |
| lerneaen_hydra | ardchoille, no, it's not only mounted devices | 23:09 |
| ardchoille | lerneaen_hydra: What else is there? | 23:09 |
| lerneaen_hydra | it seems that devices that were mounted on installation appear there, however a disk I mounted post installation doesn't appear there (though it's visible in /media/ ) | 23:09 |
| Vermux | NeoFax: didnt find that line | 23:09 |
| NeoFax | lerneaen_hydra: That is a pseudo filesystem. Try googling it as it may have a flat text file u can mess with to add to it. | 23:09 |
| lerneaen_hydra | NeoFax, oh, right, I see | 23:10 |
| NeoFax | Kind like fuse. | 23:10 |
| NeoFax | Anyone here know how to get an ATI/Firefly usb remote to work? | 23:11 |

| edenbeast | hello everyone, does anyboy | 23:21 |
| MilesG | anybody ........ | 23:21 |
| MilesG | ? | 23:21 |
| edenbeast | oops :-/ does anybody know wether moto4lin is still supported and wether it works with a motorola v3 razr phone on kubuntu? :-) | 23:21 |
| mneptok | !info moto4lin | 23:21 |
| ubotu | moto4lin: file manager and seem editor for Motorola phones (like C380/C650). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3+svn20060819-1 (gutsy), package size 147 kB, installed size 484 kB | 23:21 |
| MilesG | edenbeast: hey im trying to work with my razr and kubuntu also | 23:21 |
| vzduch | MilesG: (1) in the US it's dinnertime, (2) in Europe it's bedtime, (3) in general, Kubuntu Gutsy sounds like a bit problem-stricken, according to recent reviews ;) | 23:22 |
| mneptok | seems the package still exists | 23:22 |
| edenbeast | really? can you put mp3 ringtones on it? | 23:22 |
| MilesG | edenbeast: i dont know..i found this article | 23:22 |

| MilesG | edenbeast: do you have bluetooth working? | 23:22 |
| edenbeast | no I don't have BT :-/ | 23:22 |
| edenbeast | but it supposedly can connect via usb | 23:23 |
| MilesG | o..you are trying to connect the razr via the usb, i see | 23:23 |
| * MilesG trying to get bluetooth working | 23:23 | |
| edenbeast | no not even :-) | 23:23 |
| edenbeast | I'm in the market for a new phone and this one will be sold in a week for only about 120€ so I was wondering how well it would work under linux | 23:24 |
| === n1lo is now known as n1lo-ZzzzZZZz | ||
| MilesG | o, haha | 23:24 |
| MilesG | yea i hate the razr, but its what i got | 23:24 |
| edenbeast | I'm cheap when it comes to cellphones, they have to phone and last as long as possible (preferably 3+ years ;P- | 23:25 |
| edenbeast | it's a bad phone? | 23:25 |
| MilesG | its slow | 23:25 |
| MilesG | and a lot of people have it here in the states | 23:25 |
| edenbeast | slow? | 23:25 |
| edenbeast | sure it's not your particular dialect? ;-) | 23:25 |
| MilesG | well... | 23:25 |
| === Scotty_ is now known as Scotty | ||
| edenbeast | sorry ;-) | 23:26 |
| mneptok | doesn't the Razr just present itself as USB mass storage? | 23:26 |
| MilesG | when i turn on the camera, it usually takes a couple seconds | 23:26 |
| edenbeast | oh it has a camera? nice | 23:26 |
| MilesG | what do you mean nice? camera is pretty much standard today | 23:26 |
| MilesG | where are you from edenbeast? | 23:26 |
| edenbeast | hehe you don't want to know what kind of phone I use :P | 23:26 |
| edenbeast | belgium | 23:27 |
| MilesG | see, i thought Europe and Asia were way ahead of the states in the cell game | 23:27 |
| edenbeast | hmm I somehow doubt that | 23:27 |
| MilesG | but anyways, that article i sent you should be what you need | 23:27 |
| edenbeast | you guys have much more disposable income than we do in general but like I said I'm cheap when it comes to being annoyed by my boss when at home ;-) | 23:28 |
| MilesG | i just finished looking through it | 23:28 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | MilesG: Just Asia, IIRC. | 23:28 |
| MilesG | IIRC? | 23:28 |
| edenbeast | If I Recall Correctly | 23:28 |
| MilesG | o | 23:28 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | If I recall correctly | 23:28 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | or If I remember correctly, either one | 23:28 |
| edenbeast | as long as it phones I'm game, I just like the mp3 ringtones to annoy other people :P | 23:28 |
| * MilesG keeps the razr on vibrate | 23:29 | |
| NeoFax | Asia and europe are way ahead when it comes to cell phones. | 23:29 |
| edenbeast | but connecting to it via usb works? | 23:29 |
| edenbeast | we don't even have the iphone :p | 23:29 |
| NeoFax | The companies there don't price gouge their clients as much. | 23:30 |
| edenbeast | ? | 23:30 |
| NeoFax | The iphone is a overhyped piece of sh!t | 23:30 |
| edenbeast | how much is pricegouging? | 23:30 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | edenbeast: Not having the iPhone is a bad thing? I never knew that. | 23:30 |
| edenbeast | thing with the EU is it's different in every country | 23:30 |
| * MilesG could care less for the iPhone | 23:31 | |
| NeoFax | Well, the iphone costs $200 to build, but they charged u $600 plus a two year contract | 23:31 |
| MilesG | n95 > iphone | 23:31 |
| edenbeast | some countries get you free phones with a cell contract, others don't | 23:31 |
| NeoFax | Hell my HTC S710 is better than the iphone | 23:31 |
| MilesG | NeoFax: anything Apple sells cost $x to make and they sell it for $3x | 23:31 |
| edenbeast | usually because in a lot of countries it was illegal to lock the phone to a distributor and such | 23:31 |
| NeoFax | Just wished I would have waited for gps on board though | 23:31 |
| NeoFax | MilesG: Not true. The Mini is pretty cost effective | 23:32 |
| vzduch | MilesG: that's market economy, everybody does that | 23:32 |
| Linusx | Can somebody talk to me about how to download stuff correctly? Tried to download Frostwire: am getting errors "saving file would result in corruption" ... some similar error. | 23:32 |
| edenbeast | I have an ipod shuffle :-/ | 23:32 |
| MilesG | Apple is the definition of price discretion | 23:32 |
| edenbeast | because it charges with usb :P | 23:32 |
| vzduch | you produce at the lowest possible price and sell at the highest price ppl are willing to pay | 23:32 |
| NeoFax | When I lived in Germany, the phone company made u pay a set amount of money to talk for as long as u wanted whenever u wanted. | 23:32 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | edenbeast: and I have a 1st Gen Black Nano. >_>; | 23:33 |
| edenbeast | I hate it because of the no gapless playback though but it integrates nicely with amarok, which is great again | 23:33 |
| NeoFax | U pay exorbitant fees for that here in the US. On top of roaming and such. | 23:33 |
| vzduch | NeoFax: that's a relatively new development on the German market | 23:33 |
| edenbeast | neofax that's very rare | 23:33 |
| edenbeast | most countries do not have that | 23:33 |

| morfey | привет | 23:33 |
| stdin | !ru | morfey | 23:33 |
| edenbeast | here in .be it's only recently that we pay per second | 23:33 |
| ubotu | morfey: Пожалуйста войдите в #ubuntu-ru для помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke | 23:33 |
| NeoFax | I just left the middle east and they do cell contracts way better | 23:34 |
| morfey | ok | 23:34 |
| lovre | how can i read and write NTFS partition from linux? do i need to do anything or is it enabled by default? | 23:34 |
| edenbeast | it used to be we paid per minute for a certain time and only then per second, even when you only did like a 15sec call | 23:34 |
| stdin | !ntfs-3g | lovre | 23:34 |
| ubotu | lovre: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 23:34 |
| edenbeast | iovre I think your best bet would be fuse with ntfs-3g | 23:34 |
| NeoFax | But, germany had a really crazy landline phone system. | 23:35 |
| vzduch | edenbeast: in Germany most contracts/prepaid cards still have that.. first minute full, however short your call is, from the 2nd minute on exact to the second | 23:35 |
| edenbeast | it's like free local calls, we don't know that either | 23:35 |
| stdin | !ot | NeoFax, vzduch, edenbeast | 23:36 |
| vzduch | there's no free local calls here either | 23:36 |
| ubotu | NeoFax, vzduch, edenbeast: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! | 23:36 |
| edenbeast | I'm sorry | 23:36 |
| vzduch | stdin: Spielverderber :P (sorry, I don't know the English word for that) | 23:36 |
| arkygeek | happy to report i am running iTunes 7.3 with wine in Kubuntu Gutsy... everything works. even shared libraries, iTunes Store, purchased content, etc... | 23:37 |
| lovre | i cant run adept, it just runs hourglass and my cursor is bouncing the icon. but not opening | 23:37 |
| stdin | vzduch: something like "Killjoy", and my response is "tough" | 23:37 |
| edenbeast | Iovre could you run it from a commandline to see if it's showing any error messages maybe? | 23:38 |
| NeoFax | lovre: Open konsole and start adept from there to see what is erroring | 23:38 |
| MilesG | has anyone successfully configured bluetooth in kde? | 23:39 |
| MilesG | in here* | 23:39 |
| lovre | NeoFax: same error as with dolphin, a configuration file is not writable :( :( | 23:39 |
| lovre | NeoFax: 'Need root privileges' | 23:39 |
| Dragnslcr | MilesG- after a fair amount of effort, yeah | 23:39 |
| MilesG | Dragnslcr: do/did you have an intel chipset? | 23:39 |
| Dragnslcr | For the bluetooth adapter? | 23:39 |
| MilesG | yea | 23:40 |
| edenbeast | lovre: does it name the configuration file? | 23:40 |
| lovre | edenbeast: sec | 23:40 |
| lovre | edenbeast: Configuration file "/home/lovre/.kde/share/config/adept_managerrc" not writable | 23:40 |
| Dragnslcr | MilesG- the manufacturer is shown as Cambridge Silicon. Not sure if they use Intel stuff or not | 23:40 |
| edenbeast | lovre: and do you have that file? when you do ls -l /home/lovre/.kde/share/config/adept_managerrc does it show you a file of any size or just 0 ? | 23:41 |
| MilesG | Dragnslcr: thanks | 23:41 |
| vzduch | edenbeast: if it weren't there, it could easily be created | 23:41 |
| NeoFax | lovre: I thinke adept needs to run as root like sudo adept-manager | 23:41 |
| edenbeast | vzduch: yes but it may be there and be root and 0 which is kind of weird? :-/ | 23:42 |
| === n1lo is now known as n1lo-ZzzzZZZz | ||
| vzduch | and yes, pkg management is done as root, period. | 23:42 |
| edenbeast | NeoFax: isn't it configured via kdesu by default? :-| | 23:42 |
| lovre | edenbeast: there IS NO such location. When i come to config folder, there is no adept_managercc folder inside it | 23:43 |
| graelb | Hi, why would i be getting wrong fs-type errors when trying to mount a windows share over the network? | 23:43 |
| NeoFax | When u run it from the menu it does. As the menu entry has kdesudo adept-manager or something like that | 23:43 |
| edenbeast | lovre weird could you do sudo adept in the konsole, like the others suggested? | 23:43 |
| NeoFax | adept_managerrc is a file not a directory | 23:43 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | NeoFax: "kdesu adept_manager" is the command it uses | 23:43 |
| secleinteer | hi, i installed the new ati 8.42.3 driver on kubuntu feisty with a radeon x300, and i'm getting a segfault now - any ideas what's going on? | 23:44 |
| stdin | lovre: try "kdesu adept_manager" (not sudo) | 23:44 |
| edenbeast | lovre sudo adept_manager, sorry | 23:44 |
| NeoFax | BonesolTeraDyne: I thought gutsy moved from kdesu to kdesudo as they were having a lot of problems with kdesu | 23:44 |
| edenbeast | stdin won't it work with sudo ? | 23:44 |
| stdin | edenbeast: you should never use sudo with GUI apps | 23:44 |
| edenbeast | I see, I didn't knew, why not? :-/ | 23:45 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | NeoFax: I see "kdesu" installed, but no "kdesudo" | 23:45 |
| stdin | NeoFax: there are updated packages in gutsy-proposed | 23:45 |
| Linusx | stdin: 'Save As' offers this file name: "frostwire-4.13.3.i586.deb" Clicking save then says that it is a binary and saving it would result in a corrupt file. No understanding something somewhere. | 23:45 |
| stdin | !kdesu | edenbeast | 23:45 |
| lovre | edenbeast: i get this error: "sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Oct 24 02:14:39 2007" | 23:45 |
| ubotu | edenbeast: In KDE, use « kdesudo » (Gutsy) or « kdesu » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Do *not* use « sudo <GUI application> »; you can muck up your permissions/config files. For what to use in GNOME, see !gksudo | 23:45 |
| stdin | Linusx: click back first, then right-click on the link | 23:45 |
| stdin | lovre: try "sudo -K" | 23:46 |

| lovre | stdin: again this error: sudo: timestamp too far in the future: Oct 24 02:14:39 2007 | 23:46 |
| lovre | i dont understand, what does it mean timestamp too far in the future | 23:47 |
| stdin | lovre: did you do "sudo -K" or "sudo -k" ? | 23:47 |
| biovore | the files in the tarball have time stamps that are newer then your current system time.. | 23:47 |
| NeoFax | lovre: It means the file was created in the future | 23:47 |
| biovore | try typing date at the prompt.. | 23:47 |
| stdin | biovore: it's a sudo error, not tar | 23:48 |
| lovre | stdin: none works | 23:48 |
| stdin | lovre: then the only sure way to fix is, dare I say it, reboot | 23:48 |
| lovre | NeoFax: it is true that i fixed the clock that was showing wrong time | 23:48 |
| lovre | stdin: ok ill reboot, brb | 23:48 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | stdin: So that it'll sync the clock? | 23:48 |

| BonesolTeraDyne | nye NeoFax | 23:49 |
| BonesolTeraDyne | bye* | 23:49 |
| stdin | BonesolTeraDyne: no, the location of the stamp file is on a virtual filesystem (only exists in memory), so a reboot clears all the files out of it | 23:49 |
