| LjL | ardchoille: here they're the archives. check your dns i guess :) | 00:28 |
| lovre | why cant i create new folder or anything inside my ext3 partition? I can do this in every other partition | 00:30 |
| helloyo | lovre: you probably don't have write permissions | 00:31 |
| edenbeast | lovre: are you getting an error, are the permissions of your mount point set so that you're allowed to create a folder? | 00:31 |
| taylan | may I use Qparted when kubuntu(gutsy) running I want to alter native partition | 00:31 |
| edenbeast | lovre when you type 'mount' in a console do you see (rw) behind the partition ? | 00:32 |
| iobelix | hi, i am trying kde, when i switch desktops windows from other desktops are displayed on my taskbar. i tried finding a configuration parameter in taskbar and compiz settings but to no avail. can anybody suggest something please? | 00:32 |
| edenbeast | taylan do you mean on the partition your live system is using? :-/ | 00:32 |
| lovre | edenbeast: yes i see rw | 00:33 |
| edenbeast | that'd be somewhat dangerous I think | 00:33 |
| taylan | edenbast not live system just I want another partition | 00:33 |
| edenbeast | lovre you'll see something like /dev/hdaX on <directory> could you do ls -ld <directory> to see what it's permissions are? | 00:33 |
| edenbeast | taylan on certain filesystems that would work (resizing it) I believe, better check for your target filesystem though :-) | 00:35 |
| edenbeast | iobelix right click on your panel, go to configure panel and there to task-bar, uncheck show windows from all desktops | 00:36 |
| taylan | thx | 00:37 |
| ardchoille | LjL: I don't think it's my dns. And http://packages.medibuntu.org/ looks bad too. | 00:37 |
| edenbeast | iobelix: if it's only for compiz it may not be possible though, compiz only works with 1 real desktop and lots of virtual planes | 00:37 |
| lovre | edenbeast: i see /dev/sdaX, is that same? | 00:37 |
| edenbeast | taylan I've oly use parted once though and never on something I couldn't stand to lose | 00:37 |
| LjL | ardchoille: well then what is it? it works for me | 00:37 |
| edenbeast | lovre yes | 00:37 |
| edenbeast | so back up first :P | 00:38 |
| FunnyLookinHat | Question: If I am running Gnome (Ubuntu) and want to test KDE4, do I have to install kubuntu-desktop before I install the KDE4 testing packages? or can I just install the KDE4 testing packages? | 00:38 |
| edenbeast | medibuntu is slow for me, everything else works | 00:38 |
| edenbeast | but I'm on the .be mirror | 00:38 |
| iobelix | edenbeast: yes i have tried that but there is no such option as i have only one desktop under "configure desktops". it is under compiz where i have 4 horizontal desktops. if i keep 4 real desktops then 16 desktops are shown on the workplace switcher | 00:39 |
| iobelix | this has not been a problem for me in gnome though. i use compiz there too. | 00:39 |
| edenbeast | iobelix you need to have 1 real desktop under kde and then you can make as much horizontal desktops as you want, it won't solve the taskbar thing I'm afraid though :-/ | 00:40 |
| iobelix | honestly, to me the use of having multiple desktops is greatly reduced if the taskbar shows windows from all desktops | 00:40 |
| iobelix | oh. | 00:40 |
| iobelix | wow that is a bummer | 00:40 |
| edenbeast | I used beryl before and I believe it was a possibility there, but I honestly don't know if beryl is even still usable on gutsy :-( | 00:40 |
| lovre | edenbeast: it says: "drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2007-10-24 01:24 /media/sda3" | 00:40 |
| iobelix | no i don't think it is. | 00:41 |
| edenbeast | lovre that's the problem, that partition is owned by root and root alone, so only root can write to it :-) | 00:41 |
| needles | Jucato, I think I fubar'd my system last night | 00:41 |
| iobelix | so it is not possible to work with 4 real desktops and have just one horizontal desktop? | 00:41 |
| edenbeast | lovre you'll need to alter the ownership of the mountpoint to something usable for you, like lovre:lovre for instance, it depends a bit on who will be using the partition, if it's just you then sudo chown -R lovre:lovre <directory> will do | 00:42 |
| lovre | edenbeast: what i want to do is to use that partition normally to store data, music and other stuff | 00:42 |
| edenbeast | ibelix that'll screw with the kicker desktop pager | 00:42 |
| earl_ | hey what is the official channel of compiz? | 00:42 |
| earl_ | or, for compiz support i guess | 00:43 |
| shadowhywind | earl it is compiz-fusion | 00:43 |
| earl_ | thanks | 00:43 |
| iobelix | do you think there is a need to file a bug for this? | 00:43 |
| lovre | edenbeast: if i would like to set my home directory to another partition, would it be possible to do so now? (i forgot during the installation) | 00:43 |
| edenbeast | it's a known issue | 00:43 |
| edenbeast | lovre it's always possible | 00:45 |
| lovre | edenbeast: but is it messy? | 00:45 |
| edenbeast | lovre yes and no, you'll need to copy your home directory to the new partition, then it's best to drop to a tty, rename your old home dir in case you forgot to copy something, write a mount rule in fstab, mount the new home and you can login again | 00:46 |
| edenbeast | if it checks out fine afterwards you an delete the old home directory | 00:46 |
| lovre | edenbeast: ill try that some other time, too much problems for now. | 00:47 |

| ubotu | kroynos, other than this?: 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 | 02:06 |
| kroynos | is that for Kubuntu 7.10 or can i use feisty for 7.10? | 02:07 |

| WaltzingAlong | kroynos: you do not need to add the repository to gutsy. read the page. but the part about which packages to install is relevant | 02:07 |
| kroynos | aight i give that a shot.. | 02:08 |
| WaltzingAlong | kubuntunewbie: yes !ntfs and !ntfs-3g and as for web design, meaning html editor? bluefish and such though a website could be drawn out in the gimp as well | 02:08 |

| nosrednaekim | kubuntunewbie: yeah | 02:11 |
| WaltzingAlong | kubuntunewbie: but you should be able to change that so they are readonly | 02:11 |
| nosrednaekim | kubuntunewbie: go into system settings->advanced->disks and filesystems | 02:11 |
| dennister | that's a new feature of gutsy then, as ntfs-3g was not standard with feisty | 02:11 |

| Phil7 | Hey guys...I've been trying to install Kubuntu using the Wubi Alpha build and I've been running into some problems | 02:18 |
| nosrednaekim | Phil7: ok... | 02:19 |
| lovre | are there any widgets in compiz i could enable? | 02:19 |
| Phil7 | I can get Wubi to work ont he windows side of things, but when I reboot to actually install I get blackscreened | 02:19 |
| moparisthebest | I upgraded from feisty to gutsy, amd64 arch, and even though knetwork manager says I am connected to the network I can't access the network at all | 02:19 |
| dwidmann | moparisthebest: I wonder if it's that one knetworkmanager bug, can you perhaps try connecting *without* using knetworkmanager? | 02:20 |
| dwidmann | (that is, kill knetworkmanager, set up the connection some other way) | 02:20 |
| moparisthebest | like remove it and reboot dwidmann ? | 02:20 |
| moparisthebest | cant hurt I guess | 02:21 |
| dwidmann | moparisthebest: that would work, so long as you have the package cached for easy reinstallation without network access. | 02:21 |
| moparisthebest | it won't remove it unless I run apt-get clean right? | 02:21 |
| moparisthebest | the actual package that is | 02:21 |
| dwidmann | Wrong. | 02:21 |
| dwidmann | Right | 02:21 |
| nosrednaekim | Phil7: possibly your graphics card, etc are unsupported..does the liveCD boot fine? | 02:22 |
| === kev_ is now known as unclekev | ||
| crazy_bus | I just installed a dvb-t pci card. Kaffeine detects it and seems to set it up. However when it searches for stations it detects nothing. Why is this? | 02:22 |

| unclekev | . | 02:22 |
| dwidmann | It won't remove the cached package unless you apt-get clean, or if you have certain things set up in your apt prefs, then agiank you'd know about those. | 02:22 |
| Phil7 | No the live CD doesn't...I think my card is unsupported...I have a 8800GTS. | 02:22 |
| rance | can someone help me figure out why a 7.10 kubuntu install (from 7.10 cd) keeps giving me the version upgrade tool trying to upgrade my box to 7.10? | 02:23 |
| WaltzingAlong | rance: known issue, thanks | 02:23 |
| nosrednaekim | Phil7: and what version are you trying to install? | 02:23 |
| Phil7 | 7.10 | 02:23 |
| WaltzingAlong | kubuntunewbie: i do not recall that nor can i think just now of what that may meant | 02:23 |
| kubuntunewbie | WaltzingAlong: might not have been you. | 02:23 |
| WaltzingAlong | :D | 02:23 |
| moparisthebest | rance, you mean you already have 7.10 but it still says version upgrade availible? | 02:24 |
| nosrednaekim | Phil7: hmm should be supported | 02:24 |
| Phil7 | Someone suggested my monitor wasn't supporting the refresh rate, but I'm not sure how to change that. | 02:25 |
| rance | moparisthebest: yes thats what I mean, I installed 7.10 from the cd, but every time I do a package update I have to go through the version update wizard, that finally ends telling me no update is available | 02:25 |
| rance | aparantly its a known issue, I thought it was just me | 02:26 |
| diomedes | hmm my sound has disappeared | 02:26 |
| Phil7 | Should I try to install it without using Wubi? | 02:26 |
| kubuntunewbie | dwidmann: i can only find quanta no quanta+ what repos does it run off of? | 02:26 |
| moparisthebest | I upgraded and it shows it for me as well rance | 02:27 |

| === iobelix is now known as iobelisk | ||
| WaltzingAlong | you have 7.10 but adept manager keeps reporting that an upgrade is available then asks to download 7.10 again? this issue is known and fixed in builds of adept but you need (currently) to enable gutsy-proposed (or adept/manage repositories/updates/pre-release updates but this only works if software-properties-kde is installed) | 02:30 |

| moparisthebest | I removed network-manager-kde as well | 02:41 |
| moparisthebest | but knetworkmanager still starts up | 02:41 |
| dwidmann | Very, very weird | 02:41 |
| moparisthebest | I installed it through adept in feisty | 02:41 |
| BigPick | It just doesn't want to die. | 02:41 |
| dwidmann | It really, really should have been the network-manager-kde package | 02:42 |
| dwidmann | Perhaps just closing knetworkmanager, and running "sudo /etc/init.d/networking stop; sleep 5; sudo /etc/init.d/networking start" will work. | 02:43 |

| jarn | dwidmann: How much are the DVDs? | 02:57 |
| dwidmann | Umm, I think they were $5.95 each + shipping, so I got one of the x86 and one of the x86_64 ... and I'll just burn copies from there as neede.d | 02:58 |

| WaltzingAlong | jtmoney: maybe mythbuntu package requires xfce? | 03:06 |

| kubuntunewbie | dwidmann: i will learn how to do it the hard way later. thanks. | 03:06 |
| xevious | kubuntunewbie: or K Menu -> Add/Remove Programs then search for it -- does the same thing as sudo apt-get install quanta, which i suppose is much more direct than a bunch of clicking | 03:06 |
| hydrogen | not to mention add/remove programs didn't show all programs | 03:07 |
| hydrogen | last time i checked | 03:07 |
| xevious | well Adept Manager does | 03:07 |
| jarn | I'm convinced that apt-get upgrade should have a progress bar. -.- | 03:07 |
| dwidmann | xevious: which is exactly why I said that rather than typing out long winded instructions of how to get there in the gui ... | 03:07 |
| xevious | kubuntunewbie: always search for programs in Adept Manager before downloading source packages and compiling. most apps are available in the kubuntu repositories | 03:07 |
| kubuntunewbie | xevious: but are they always up to date? | 03:08 |
| xevious | dwidmann: apt-get install [package] is great if you know the package name | 03:08 |
| dwidmann | xevious, kubuntunewbie: or even in third party repositories | 03:08 |
| dwidmann | kubuntunewbie: usually they're rather up to date | 03:08 |
| xevious | dwidmann: thanks for the correction | 03:08 |
| xevious | kubuntunewbie: most often when they're not up to date it's because the more recent versions may not be as stable | 03:08 |
| kubuntunewbie | well whats the deal with third party repos? can u trust them? | 03:09 |
| dwidmann | kubuntunewbie: worst case scanario, the software might be 6 months old, seeing as a new (k)ubuntu is released every six months. | 03:09 |
| Zerothis | I upgraded Edgy to Feisty. It shows a new kubuntu logo. Takes a looong time to boot. It didn't boot to KDE. would not 'startx' and asked me to dpkg configure. I did, it still boots to tty and won't startx. nothing for console that's graphical seems to run (dosbox, exult, etc). My users and files are still intact. | 03:09 |
| jerbear | does kubuntu have anything like pam_keyring? | 03:11 |

| kubuntunewbie | hydrogen: will i lose the programs i have already installed? | 03:22 |
| dwidmann | !es | alirio | 03:22 |
| ubotu | alirio: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda. | 03:22 |
| Zerothis | WaltzingAlong: ok, done. custom xorg.cfg overwritten | 03:22 |
| hydrogen | kubuntunewbie: mm, you won't lose them.. but things would get kind of messed up if you just switched roots | 03:22 |
| alirio | gracias ubotu | 03:22 |
| kubuntunewbie | hydrogen: is it possible to re-allocate more space to my 10g part? | 03:23 |
| hydrogen | sometimes | 03:23 |
| hydrogen | theres not an easy way | 03:23 |
| jerbear | how does everyone else do it, just enter your password twice? | 03:23 |
| jerbear | gnome had libpam-keyring | 03:23 |
| hydrogen | I think you can set the wallet password to be blank | 03:23 |
| hydrogen | don't quote me on it! | 03:23 |
| kubuntunewbie | hydrogen: there was a program that i was using initially that came with 7.10 boot cd | 03:24 |
| kubuntunewbie | hydrogen: happen to know the name? | 03:24 |
| hydrogen | qtparted | 03:25 |
| hydrogen | however | 03:25 |
| hydrogen | that just resizes partitions, you would need to resize the filesystem after | 03:25 |
| jerbear | hydrogen: yeh, i read that you could do that... i'm assuming that's highly insecure? | 03:25 |
| hydrogen | and it gets kind of dicey there | 03:25 |
| hydrogen | I think | 03:25 |
| hydrogen | jerbear: not really... kwallet only starts after you log in | 03:25 |
| dwidmann | hydrogen: you can, but that wouldn't be a particularly secure thing to do, you can also set it so it will only ask you once per session, to close the wallet when you go to screensaver and/or after a timeout, &c | 03:26 |
| jerbear | hydrogen: what kind of encryption does kwallet use? | 03:26 |
| hydrogen | dwidmann: it would be just as secure as the way gnome apparently does it | 03:26 |
| jerbear | hydrogen: or does it? | 03:26 |
| hydrogen | jerbear: not sure on that | 03:26 |
| hydrogen | i'd assume it does | 03:26 |
| dwidmann | jerbear: it does, but I don't know what | 03:26 |
| hydrogen | but i don't know | 03:26 |
| jerbear | but if it doesn't have a password, wouldn't that mean that it's essentially unencrypted? | 03:27 |

| ubotu | source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic | 03:28 |
| dwidmann | jerbear: no, it would just mean that it's encrypted in a rather insecure way, kind of like ascii armor or something | 03:28 |

| djtigerwolf | hi | 03:35 |
| Zerothis | WaltzingAlong: well i rebooted, computer froze. after restart I'm back to the same problem as before. | 03:35 |
| djtigerwolf | wireless help needed | 03:35 |
| djtigerwolf | wireless linksys usb | 03:36 |
| moparisthebest | you are going to have to be more specific than that djtigerwolf | 03:36 |
| djtigerwolf | and the setting change on me | 03:36 |
| lovre | how to make something load on startup? (for example compiz) | 03:36 |
| begert_ | anyone here use sshfs? | 03:36 |
| moparisthebest | what is it doing djtigerwolf ? | 03:37 |
| djtigerwolf | i have to manualy configure it for the router | 03:37 |
| djtigerwolf | alisa is the setting | 03:37 |
| djtigerwolf | i think | 03:37 |
| djtigerwolf | some thing like it | 03:37 |
| djtigerwolf | then the setting changes to a wep | 03:38 |
| === zavix is now known as zavix__ | ||
| jimmydee | lovre: create a startup script in the init.d directory | 03:38 |
| === charlie55 is now known as charlie_zzz | ||
| djtigerwolf | and alisa is the proper setting but the system rejects it ither the router or the pc | 03:39 |
| jimmydee | or in the case of my sound I slid it in rc.local | 03:39 |
| Zerothis | "failed to load modual "nvidia" (modual does not exist, 0)" <- could that be the problem? (or is it a symptom) | 03:39 |
| djtigerwolf | festive faun i have no problems | 03:39 |
| djtigerwolf | gutsy the problem happens | 03:40 |
| dwidmann | I founnnnnnnnnnd it :D | 03:40 |

| djtigerwolf | if i could get 7.4 settings on 7.10 i could probly work unless major changes were made | 03:41 |
| Gul_Dukat | hello all | 03:41 |
| jimmydee | good evening you kardassian dog | 03:41 |
| djtigerwolf | hi | 03:41 |
| Gul_Dukat | are there some kubuntu specialist? | 03:42 |
| t3h0wner2 | No. | 03:42 |
| dwidmann | I reckon us people that run it are going to be as close as you're going to get Gul_Dukat | 03:42 |
| jimmydee | we should be able to work something out Gul | 03:42 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | i wish i had a XP install disk so i could play games | 03:42 |
| jimmydee | want some wine with that cheese? | 03:43 |
| djtigerwolf | lol | 03:43 |

| jarn | Has koffice gained enough compatibility yet that I can dump the bloated nastiness that is OO.o? | 03:43 |
| dwidmann | jarn: maybe, see for yourself, I wouldn't count on compatibility with MS Office. | 03:43 |
| Jucato | jarn: I wish... but MS Office compatibility isn't high on the todo list yet | 03:43 |
| jarn | Jucato: Ah, that's a shame. | 03:44 |
| teeahr1_ | Pretty much. I find more problems going from KOffice - OOo or vice versa than with either of them and MS Office. | 03:44 |
| jimmydee | jucato: crossover | 03:44 |
| djtigerwolf | to much money | 03:44 |
| djtigerwolf | for me | 03:44 |
| dwidmann | Jucato, jarn: heard it'd be really, really hard to pull the support out of Openoffice | 03:44 |
| djtigerwolf | wine and wine doors | 03:44 |
| jarn | Jucato: MS Office compatibility is something I need when I'm writing college admissions essays... don't find a lot of admissions offices using Koffice... lol | 03:44 |
| jimmydee | jarn: send em pdf's | 03:45 |
| Jucato | jarn: hopefully KOffice 2 will solve that... :) | 03:45 |
| * n8k99 uses Koffice for college | 03:45 | |
| Jucato | jarn: although the way KOffice saves .doc is to actually save them as RTF and rename them as .doc | 03:45 |
| * hydrogen uses vim + texlive to write papers | 03:45 | |
| hydrogen | but i'm a traditionalist! | 03:45 |
| jarn | n8k99: I need to give the document to others. | 03:46 |
| jarn | n8k99: For my own use I do use Koffice. :P | 03:46 |
| dwidmann | Well, koffice defaults to Oasis, so with any luck things written with koffice will start becoming more acceptable within the next ten years eh? | 03:46 |
| * Jucato is lucky to not to have to right papers lately | 03:46 | |
| * hydrogen isn't | 03:46 | |
| hydrogen | well | 03:46 |
| Jucato | hydrogen: :P | 03:46 |
| * hydrogen is lucky enough to be able to write lots of papers lately | 03:46 | |
| dwidmann | assuming M$ doesn't manage to crash that party, anyhow. | 03:46 |
| * n8k99 goes to school online so all documents have to go to others | 03:46 | |
| hydrogen | dwidmann: if they don't o$ x will.. | 03:47 |
| dwidmann | hydrogen: who really cares what worm infested apples have to say about things? | 03:47 |
| Gul_Dukat | i tried to Upgrade from Kubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn to Kubuntu 7.10 - Gutsy Gibbon. The first 3 steps of the Upgrade program did work OK. (1. Preparing the upgrade, 2. Modifying the software channels, 3. Fetching the upgrades). But after the download was finish the upgrade program just suddently closed. Any ideas? | 03:47 |
| djtigerwolf | back to wireless problems | 03:47 |
| teeahr1_ | jarn: export to pdf | 03:47 |
| jimmydee | Gul_Dukat: try dpkg --configure -a | 03:48 |
| jimmydee | errr sudo dpkg --configure -a | 03:48 |
| jarn | jimmydee, teeahr1_: PDF is actually a good idea... I should have thought of that. :/ Thanks! | 03:48 |
| Gul_Dukat | the last 3 steps did not run. no install, no cleaning up, no restart | 03:49 |
| jimmydee | *BOW* | 03:49 |
| djtigerwolf | running ubuntu 7.4 (running now) and kubuntu 7.10 (no connection to internet) | 03:49 |
| teeahr1_ | gul_dukat: I've been having similar problems. Known bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/adept/+bug/153889 | 03:50 |
| djtigerwolf | if i cant get 7.10 working im going to another system till i get a newer pc | 03:51 |
| Gul_Dukat | teeahr1_: known bug? und what you did? | 03:51 |
| === mneptok is now known as mnepette | ||
| dotz | when i close my SCIM/SKIM, after awhile it will auto load back..why is that so? | 03:51 |
| hydrogen | djtigerwolf: why not keep using 7.04?} | 03:51 |
| jimmydee | I had gutsy working pre release just by changing all the feisty's to gutsy's in sources.list and doing the upgrade | 03:51 |
| === mnepette is now known as mneptok | ||
| lovre | how do i run superkaramba on system start? | 03:52 |
| jimmydee | lovre: put the command in rc.local | 03:52 |
| djtigerwolf | its getting to the point of out of date and some of the repositories are not working any morew | 03:52 |
| hydrogen | !autostart | lovre | 03:52 |
| ubotu | lovre: To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. | 03:52 |
| hydrogen | jimmydee: its an x program.. that doesn't make sense | 03:52 |
| djtigerwolf | cant get beryl | 03:53 |
| jimmydee | it comes in AFTER gdm or kdm run | 03:53 |
| djtigerwolf | or wine | 03:53 |
| hydrogen | dthacker: it isn't out of date.. enable backports and you will have versions for another eighteen months or so | 03:53 |
| hydrogen | jimmydee: you want it to run after you log in thoguh | 03:53 |
| jimmydee | point, I'm tired | 03:53 |
| dotz | when i close my SCIM/SKIM, after awhile it will auto load back..why is that so? | 03:53 |
| helloyo | anyone know when the kopete/msn bug is getting a fix? | 03:54 |
| teeahr1_ | gul_dukate: nothing yet. I'm at 7.10 on my system, but the upgrade program still wants to upgrade every time i run adept. but i upgraded from the rc. different people have been reporting different things. | 03:54 |
| djtigerwolf | how do i do that | 03:54 |
| dwidmann | helloyo: it was fixed the day before release, I guess it just didnt' get pressed into the release (it was too late by then) | 03:54 |
| helloyo | dwidmann: ah, i see, but it should be in the updates soon right? | 03:54 |
| lovre | !autorun | 03:55 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about autorun - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:55 |
| dwidmann | check out the kubuntu site for details, I'm pretty sure he left a couple links on there for the fixed packages. | 03:55 |
| jimmydee | I think I'll take my one backup machine to 7.10 right now | 03:55 |
| lovre | !autostart | 03:55 |

| MarcC | Konqueror is suddenly taking *forever* to move files to the recycle bin - anybody else experience this before? | 03:55 |
| Gul_Dukat | teeahr1_: the problem is my upgrade did never run. the upgrade program just stopped in the middle... after downloading packages so i still have 7.04 i think... | 03:56 |
| teeahr1_ | marcc: always. | 03:56 |
| * dwidmann sees no_recylce bin_ | 03:56 | |
| jimmydee | gul_dukat exit adept and goto terminal, then sudo dpkg --configure -a | 03:56 |
| helloyo | dwidmann: thanks | 03:56 |
| MarcC | teeahr1_: ok, mine just started doing it, so I guess I'll restart to confirm the behavior | 03:56 |
| djtigerwolf | backports were? | 03:56 |
| djtigerwolf | looking but not finding | 03:56 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | does anybody know of a recent version of americas army working on linuxc | 03:57 |
| Gul_Dukat | jimmydee: what this excatly do? this will continue the upgrade? | 03:57 |
| teeahr1_ | gul_dukat: you can check by hitting f1 and looking at "about kubuntu" | 03:57 |
| teeahr1_ | marcc: since 7.04 at least, i can't confirm any earlier than that. | 03:57 |
| jimmydee | yessir it should continue the upgrade | 03:57 |
| LinuxReign | i think Americas Amry developers wont support the Linux version anymore, google it :P | 03:57 |
| kubuntunewbie | oh techmology! | 03:58 |

| jimmydee | but I'm a Techmishion | 03:59 |
| dotz | when i close my SCIM/SKIM, after awhile it will auto load back..why is that so? | 03:59 |
| lovre | superkaramba is not showing items i installed, and now i cant isnstall them anymore because they are checked as installed. But they dont appear in the list | 03:59 |
| lovre | i reinstalled superkaramba but it remembered what was installed. Is there a configuration file somewhere, that i could edit perhaps? | 04:00 |
| teeahr1_ | lovre: search for a folder named "superkaramba" it might be /home/you/.superkaramba or it might be in /home/you/.kde i don't remember which | 04:01 |
| teeahr1_ | lovre: it'll be in home, at any rate | 04:01 |
| moparisthebest | is there any way I can check what modules I have loaded? | 04:01 |
| lovre | i found it at home/me/.superkaramba | 04:01 |
| moparisthebest | kernel modules | 04:01 |
| Zerothis | well, i decided to try 'startx' again to see more of the errors and in magically worked. no to do the whole thing again for gusty | 04:02 |
| teeahr1_ | lovre: just delete it | 04:02 |
| MarcC | location of KDE trash folder? | 04:02 |
| lovre | teeahr1_: everything? | 04:02 |
| dotz | when i close my SCIM/SKIM, after awhile it will auto load back..why is that so? | 04:02 |
| kubuntunewbie | !info openhackware | 04:03 |
| ubotu | Package openhackware does not exist in gutsy | 04:03 |
| teeahr1_ | lovre: that's the config folder for superkaramba, so deleting it should just be like starting over. another thing you could have done was select "purge package" instead of "uninstall" | 04:03 |
| lovre | i see | 04:04 |
| MarcC | I have two folders inside of .Trash: "files" and "info". Is it ok to delete both of these, or should I delete only the files inside "files"? | 04:04 |
| lovre | teeahr1_: in adept manager? | 04:04 |
| teeahr1_ | lovre: correct, sorry should have clarified | 04:04 |
| lovre | teeahr1_: thank you very much, no need to appologise :D | 04:04 |
| LinuxReign | any have apollon running correctly with the ares plugin? | 04:05 |
| LinuxReign | anyone* | 04:05 |
| lovre | teeahr1_: i dont see purge package anywhere | 04:05 |
| teeahr1_ | lovre: right-click on the package name in adept | 04:06 |
| LinuxReign | purge is not a package its an option to uninstall packages | 04:06 |
| lovre | LinuxReign: i know, but i dont see that option, not even when i click right.click on package | 04:06 |
| lovre | oh, i see now | 04:07 |
| LinuxReign | humm | 04:07 |
| lovre | sorry | 04:07 |
| lovre | im dumb :D | 04:07 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | does anybody know of a recent version of americas army working on linuxc | 04:07 |
| teeahr1_ | no problem :) | 04:07 |
| LinuxReign | u r not, the worst question is the one that is never asked :P | 04:07 |
| lovre | :) | 04:08 |
| lovre | i cant believe there are actually ppl in the world that want to help...... thats weird :D | 04:08 |
| jimmydee | ok samba related question, I can see the share but I cant authenticate from my windoze box | 04:10 |
| lovre | hmm, having trouble with superkaramba again, that didnt help. Is there any other widget software i could use? | 04:10 |
| NickPresta | lovre, what's your SK problem? | 04:10 |
| robin_ | hello, I just installed kubuntu. I see my ntfs partition but whe ni click on the drive the windwo that pops up is emply, how can i fix this? | 04:10 |
| lovre | NickPresta: i install a widget, and it doesnt appear in the list, but it checks as installed. | 04:11 |
| jimmydee | is it against the "rules" to run konqueror as root? | 04:11 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | lovre: is your CPU running at 100% | 04:11 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | lovre: nvm | 04:11 |
| lovre | AT0M1CB0MB3R: i suppose no, how can i check | 04:11 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | lovre: never mind | 04:12 |
| lovre | AT0M1CB0MB3R: ok | 04:12 |
| lovre | NickPresta: you got any idea? | 04:12 |
| NickPresta | lovre, where are you installing the package from? Could there be a strange permissions problem? | 04:13 |
| lovre | im installing a package from the SK main window. There is a button called New Stuff.... i click it and install | 04:13 |
| lovre | NickPresta: ^^ | 04:13 |
| iobelisk | hi, i was just wondering what docks do most of you use? | 04:14 |
| NickPresta | lovre, I mean, where is the "new stuff" package? Is it owned by you? | 04:14 |
| lovre | NickPresta: i download it from the internet. Im not following you. | 04:15 |
| tds | anyone recommend python as a first language? | 04:16 |
| * NickPresta raises hand | 04:16 | |
| NickPresta | tds, it is a powerful, versatile, and friendly language for anyone at any level. It's a great beginner's language, I feel. | 04:17 |
| NickPresta | tds, if you head to #kubuntu-offtopic, I can explain in greater detail and/or provide some beginner information | 04:18 |
| BigPick | I highly recomend Java as a first language. | 04:18 |

| tds | ok, going | 04:18 |
| needles | BigPick: what about python? | 04:19 |
| BigPick | I love python for certain functionality like how it handles data types, but I prefer the more traditional syntax of Java. | 04:21 |
| BigPick | But then again I'm a C\LASM zealot so I'm more than a little nuts. | 04:22 |
| needles | BigPick: im not programmer, but what can you do with java? | 04:24 |
| t3h0wner2 | Anything. | 04:25 |
| needles | it seems limited in that you need a runtime environment to use it | 04:25 |
| dotz | when i close my SCIM/SKIM, after awhile it will auto load back..why is that so? | 04:25 |
| t3h0wner2 | Um.... you kind of need a runtime envir for anything you program | 04:25 |
| t3h0wner2 | You need .net framework for anything .net oriented (C#, etc.) | 04:26 |
| Dr_willis | I though that was sort of the point of java. You had a virtualmachne/runtime that was what you programed for.. t | 04:26 |
| t3h0wner2 | if written in cygwin, you need those libs | 04:26 |
| t3h0wner2 | etc etc | 04:26 |
| t3h0wner2 | everything needs "something" in order to run | 04:26 |
| needles | t3h0wner2: yeah | 04:26 |
| BigPick | The runtime environment is a major drawback. | 04:26 |
| needles | what would you suggest someone new to programming learn? | 04:26 |
| t3h0wner2 | C. | 04:27 |
| Dr_willis | or a major feature. :) | 04:27 |
| Dr_willis | Depends on how NEW 'new' is :) | 04:27 |
| t3h0wner2 | Definitely C. | 04:27 |
| needles | i attempted to learn python, but didnt get very far | 04:27 |
| BigPick | But in terms of a first language I would have to say Java or C | 04:27 |
| t3h0wner2 | It doesn't matter how new you are, that's the best one to start off with, by far. | 04:27 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | how do i run a .run file? | 04:27 |
| * needles shivers at the mention of learning the C syntax | 04:27 | |
| Dr_willis | If you coulden handle the basics of Python.. well.... | 04:27 |
| t3h0wner2 | Eh, you'll get over it quickly enough. ;) | 04:27 |
| Dr_willis | AT0M1CB0MB3R, chmod +x whatever.run ./whatever.run | 04:27 |
| needles | yeah, i was just looking at it though | 04:28 |
| BigPick | I would recomend java because you get alot of experience in Object Oriented Programming. | 04:28 |
| needles | not seriously attempting anything | 04:28 |
| t3h0wner2 | Whatever you do, do not begin with VB, or any ofrm of object oriented language first | 04:28 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | how do i run a .run file? thats on my desktop | 04:28 |
| t3h0wner2 | it will fuck you over something fierce later on if you do decide to learn /real/ languages | 04:28 |
| Dr_willis | AT0M1CB0MB3R, use thje shell. | 04:28 |
| Dr_willis | AT0M1CB0MB3R, chmod +x whatever.run ./whatever.run | 04:28 |
| t3h0wner2 | AT0M1CB0MB3R: ./blah.run | 04:28 |
| moparisthebest | Java or C++, a new programmer really shouldn't start out with C | 04:28 |
| needles | t3h0wner2: you just said the opposite of BigPick | 04:28 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | t3h0wner2: your going to get kicked | 04:28 |
| t3h0wner2 | moparisthebest: C++ wil generate bad habits | 04:28 |
| BigPick | Not C++ | 04:29 |
| MurielGodoi | needles: my firsr language was lisp :) | 04:29 |
| moparisthebest | how do you figure? | 04:29 |
| Dr_willis | Comal ! :) | 04:29 |
| t3h0wner2 | AT0M1CB0MB3R: Why? | 04:29 |
| Dr_willis | Every language teaches you bad habbits in one form or another. | 04:29 |
| needles | t3h0wner2: i think because of bad language | 04:29 |
| BigPick | there is a major reason why the College board classes, and all of the OOP classes at my college have switched to java | 04:29 |
| * Dr_willis learned programing on a C64 | 04:29 | |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | !ohmy | t3h0wner2 | 04:29 |
| ubotu | t3h0wner2: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly. | 04:29 |
| t3h0wner2 | So many tears, sorry for offending the yougens. | 04:30 |
| moparisthebest | OOP is what you should start out with (and try to stick with) | 04:30 |
| NickPresta | at the risk of being disliked, !offtopic | 04:30 |
| BigPick | My first language was MASM assembler, I have to say that it is much harder to go from procedural to OOP then OOP to procedural | 04:30 |
| NickPresta | and moparisthebest sticking with one tool for every job is silly :) | 04:30 |
| moparisthebest | OOP is not one tool is it? ;) | 04:30 |
| t3h0wner2 | BigPick: haha | 04:30 |
| BigPick | It just means Object Oriented Programming, sorry that was confusing | 04:31 |
| kubuntunewbie | its a little ironic that the liberals that support open source software cant handle a little foul lang. | 04:31 |
| needles | it just seems like alot of things are written in python and perl, and ive read that they are convenient and easy to learn compared to C, so thats what I looked at | 04:31 |
| MurielGodoi | needles: for a complete combination you should get one for each paradigm: ansi C, java, lisp, prolog cover that | 04:31 |
| * genii sips a coffee | 04:31 | |
| Dr_willis | Python is to handy to not learn :) | 04:31 |
| t3h0wner2 | I agree with MurielGodoi | 04:31 |
| === AmyRose is now known as AmyRose_ | ||
| needles | kubuntunewbie: its just to keep things at a healthy medium | 04:31 |
| BigPick | Oh yes, you should eventually expand into a number of languages. | 04:31 |
| moparisthebest | but learn one first I would say, learn it well | 04:32 |
| t3h0wner2 | C, ASM, Perl, PHP | 04:32 |
| moparisthebest | then the rest will just be syntax differences for the most part | 04:32 |
| kubuntunewbie | needles: still a tad ironic. just thought id throw that out there. | 04:32 |
| BigPick | I went from ASM -> Java -> C -> Python | 04:32 |
| needles | kubuntunewbie: it is, true | 04:32 |
| t3h0wner2 | I like that combo, especially if you are training to be a "security specialist" of some sort | 04:32 |
| BigPick | Trust me, java is much easier on a new programmer. | 04:32 |
| moparisthebest | I went C++ > Java > C++ > C | 04:32 |
| moparisthebest | I still like Java best | 04:32 |
| t3h0wner2 | That's why high schools always start off with java | 04:33 |
| BigPick | Ditto. | 04:33 |
| moparisthebest | and it is easiest on the new programmer | 04:33 |
| t3h0wner2 | and in college, they always start off with C | 04:33 |
| needles | how long did it take you guys to get down your first language and comfortably create something | 04:33 |
| genii | Once you learn 1 well thought out language, others are a breeze to pick up. there's only so many basic functions at the core of them. | 04:33 |
| * needles looks up a few ebooks on java | 04:33 | |
| moparisthebest | t3h0wner2, my college starts off with Java | 04:33 |
| Dr_willis | I Had high school classes on C64, and in college.. used fortran and rexx :) | 04:33 |
| moparisthebest | in high school I took C++ | 04:33 |
| t3h0wner2 | moparisthebest: Really? For Informatics majors, they don't. | 04:33 |
| t3h0wner2 | Lucky, I wish they had offered classes like that in my school | 04:33 |
| moparisthebest | all CSA classes here are Java | 04:33 |
| moparisthebest | with 2 exceptions | 04:34 |
| BigPick | It took me months just to understand most of the peculiarities of C dynamic memory allocation. | 04:34 |
| moparisthebest | C++ for graphics | 04:34 |
| moparisthebest | and C for operating systems | 04:34 |
| MurielGodoi | BigPick: my brazilian college starts off with Scheme (like lisp) | 04:34 |
| BigPick | We start out with C here first, then go to Java, Java replaced C++ is what I originally meant. | 04:34 |
| MurielGodoi | BigPick: that was excelent to understand recursive funtions :) | 04:34 |
| needles | id never heard of lisp until a month or two ago | 04:34 |
| needles | im a mechanical engineering major, so i dont really have to learn programming, but im delving into it a bit | 04:35 |
| BigPick | I tutor students in both C and Java, trying to explain wild pointers to someone who barely knows what a function is, is not my idea of fun. | 04:35 |
| BigPick | I'm a computer engineering major. | 04:35 |
| needles | BigPick: doesnt sound fun | 04:35 |
| moparisthebest | needles, my first java book is at moparisthebest.com/java | 04:35 |
| BigPick | But I passed out of all required programming courses :) | 04:36 |
| moparisthebest | hehe, needles I was a mechanical engineering major too, then I dabbled with programming and later switched majors, be careful :P | 04:36 |
| jhutchins_x | needles, Clcks are an instance of mechanical programming. So are jaquard looms, which led to hollerith cards. | 04:36 |
| needles | BigPick: i considered electrical engineering (which is somewhat computer engineering where im at) | 04:36 |
| t3h0wner2 | informatics | 04:36 |
| needles | but it seemed like alot more work, alot alot more work | 04:36 |
| t3h0wner2 | oops | 04:36 |
| moparisthebest | and now I have to go another semester because of the switch :( | 04:36 |
| t3h0wner2 | wrong window | 04:36 |
| BigPick | Yeah, electrical and computer are basically the same here now. | 04:36 |
| MurielGodoi | needles: In true, There isn't the best one to start. It depends on tour goals with programming | 04:37 |
| jhutchins_x | sry, clocks | 04:37 |
| BigPick | I like helping with the linux kernel, mainly wireless drivers, so knowing C was a big priority for me. | 04:37 |
| needles | MurielGodoi: yeah | 04:37 |
| MurielGodoi | I'll defend my master thesis in computer science next week :/ | 04:38 |
| BigPick | But when I write user-based programs (a couple for streaming media) I like Java (except the damned JMF which should be deprecated) | 04:38 |
| needles | moparisthebest: ill check the ebook out | 04:38 |
| BigPick | Sweet! What is your thesis Muriel? | 04:38 |
| needles | MurielGodoi: good luck | 04:38 |
| t3h0wner2 | I defend my reasoning for rewriting strstr(); tomorrow for my prof, he doesn't like my methods apparently | 04:38 |
| t3h0wner2 | bah | 04:38 |
| t3h0wner2 | and making it my own function | 04:38 |
| keaton | My computer is BONED. I tried to install 7.10 through adept, it locked up, and now X won't start, apt-get won't run (it tells me to run dpkg --configure -a, when I do that it gives me a parsing error) | 04:39 |
| MurielGodoi | needles: thanks... i will need :) | 04:39 |
| needles | keaton: i had that exact same problem last night | 04:39 |
| t3h0wner2 | he didn't want us to literlly use "strstr" function, so... I wrote my own, new function that was similar to it | 04:39 |
| t3h0wner2 | lol | 04:39 |
| needles | keaton: i never got it solved, and now by kernel wont even boot | 04:39 |
| keaton | I also got a segmentation fault when I tried to manually start X. | 04:39 |
| t3h0wner2 | I can write in English, awesome. | 04:39 |
| scheater6 | needles: o. there's good news! | 04:40 |
| BigPick | I wrote my own version of C strings that uses Java Strings as an abstract :) | 04:40 |
| keaton | I think someone made a biiiiig fuck up with the latest version of X. | 04:40 |
| t3h0wner2 | BigPick: lol, nice | 04:40 |
| needles | keaton: i said screw it, and am on livecd right now trying to fix things | 04:40 |
| scheater6 | keaton: alright, I dunno if I can help you, but maybe we can brainstorm some troubleshooting? | 04:40 |
| MurielGodoi | changing the subject, I'm downloading ubuntu dvd image by torrent, but it is slow here. Any1 else is facing the same? | 04:40 |
| scheater6 | keaton: can you get to a terminal? | 04:41 |
| BigPick | blerg wrong button | 04:41 |
| needles | scheater6: there has to be away around it, some of us who tried to upgrade got screwed big time | 04:41 |
| keaton | Yeah, this is BitchX. :P | 04:41 |

| LoneShadow | Hi, anyone know how to play .rmvb files ? | 04:41 |
| needles | MurielGodoi: thats the name of his irc client | 04:41 |
| BigPick | I'm currently working on a fix for the update-manager package. But since I am not an official developer its been impossible to get any response. | 04:41 |
| BDDF | LoneShadow: mplayer | 04:42 |
| keaton | needles: I dropped the F-bomb too. :B | 04:42 |
| needles | keaton: oh, didnt see it | 04:42 |
| dennister | needles: did you ever get ur cfs issue resolved? has your gutsy upgrade completed? | 04:42 |
| scheater6 | keaton: can ya get to a terminal? | 04:42 |
| LoneShadow | BDDF, where do I get the codecs to play it? I already tried with mplayer | 04:42 |
| needles | dennister: no, i didnt | 04:42 |
| keaton | scheater6: yeah, I'm in one right now, that's how I'm talking to you guys. | 04:42 |
| needles | dennister: im on livecd now running through my options | 04:42 |
| MurielGodoi | needles: what? Each one in this channel can be using a different irc client | 04:43 |
| BDDF | mplayerhq.hu? | 04:43 |
| BDDF | I think ... | 04:43 |
| needles | MurielGodoi: nvm, misread something | 04:43 |
| dennister | hmmm...sorry to hear that | 04:43 |
| scheater6 | keaton: lol - I should have known. alright, well, how important are the files on your computer? | 04:43 |
| BDDF | how did you install your mplayer? | 04:43 |
| needles | dennister: im thinking about just reformatting that partition and installing gutsy from livecd | 04:43 |
| godfodder | does anyone know how to create a grub boot loader? | 04:43 |
| LoneShadow | BDDF: hmm, so what happened to automatix or something to install missing codecs automatically, or we are not there yet ? | 04:43 |
| keaton | scheater6: I can't lose my stuff, it would take months to get it all back. | 04:43 |
| needles | i didnt have too much invested in it, though i need to move a few files off of it, before i do | 04:43 |
| dennister | needles: that might be the fastest way to fix things | 04:44 |
| godfodder | i have the text file but i forget how to name it | 04:44 |
| needles | dennister: yeah, because it is really fubar'd | 04:44 |
| scheater6 | keaton: do you have an external, or second harddrive? | 04:44 |
| dennister | you could but ur head against the wall from here to doomsday...that's easy to do | 04:44 |
| genii | menu.lst ? | 04:44 |
| BDDF | LoneShadow: I dunno ... | 04:44 |
| keaton | scheater6: Does a 2 gig flash drive count? :/ | 04:44 |
| BDDF | lemme check what I have somewhere | 04:44 |
| godfodder | thanks genii i think thats it | 04:44 |
| Dr_willis | godfodder, sudo update-grub | 04:44 |
| LoneShadow | BDDF: thanks anyway :) | 04:45 |
| scheater6 | keaton: not unless you could get everything important on it. I'm thinking about just bypassing the whole problem and doing a fresh install - considering options of saving your data | 04:45 |
| needles | how do you access your hd from livecd? i get "hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 999" | 04:45 |
| godfodder | i need to put it in my usb flashdrive so i can install xp and then reboot ubuntu | 04:45 |
| godfodder | xp will overwrite the mbr | 04:45 |
| BDDF | LoneShadow: http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/27/how-to-play-rmvb-files-in-ubuntu/ | 04:45 |
| scheater6 | needles: try going through system settings/kcontrol and going to filesystems and enabling it there | 04:46 |
| dennister | needles: just go to gnome's places, computer, and mount the hdd you see there | 04:46 |
| Dr_willis | this is #kubuntu :) | 04:46 |
| scheater6 | keaton: how much freespace do you have on this harddrive? Could you make a partition out of the free space and mirror your data there? | 04:47 |
| dennister | is there a kubuntu livecd? i thought they were all ubuntu/gnome-based | 04:48 |
| MurielGodoi | keaton: you can create a partition and mount /home there. It make much more easier to you do new clean installs | 04:48 |
| Dr_willis | dennister, yes thers a kubuntu livecd. | 04:48 |
| Dr_willis | and a xubuntu livecd | 04:48 |
| scheater6 | dennister: yup yup yup - kubuntu, xubuntu | 04:48 |
| needles | dennister: no, there is | 04:48 |
| keaton | scheater6: I'm not sure... You know any way I can check through command line? | 04:48 |
| needles | soon to be fluxbuntu | 04:48 |
| Dr_willis | and Mythbuntu | 04:48 |

| AT0M1CB0MB3R | anybody wanna create LFS with me? | 04:49 |
| needles | scheater6: enable is grayed out, i can seem to do it | 04:49 |
| scheater6 | keaton: hmmm...I'm not sure. you can try "parted" - but it's a full blown weapon of mass destruction | 04:49 |
| dennister | well, needles now has 2 methods to choose from to access his hdd from livecd, depending on which livecd he has :) | 04:49 |
| hydrogen | lfs is stupid. | 04:49 |
| scheater6 | needles: try adminstrator mode, or "kdesu kcontrol" | 04:49 |
| keaton | brb | 04:49 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | hydrogen: i would learn alot from it | 04:49 |
| needles | im on kubuntu 7.10 livecd | 04:49 |
| hydrogen | AT0M1CB0MB3R: then feel free to waste a good deal of your time only to give up and come back | 04:49 |
| hydrogen | AT0M1CB0MB3R: its your time after all | 04:50 |
| needles | scheater6: i think i need to give it a mount point is why | 04:50 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | hydrogen: why would i give up | 04:50 |
| romulo | join #linux-newbies | 04:50 |
| hydrogen | AT0M1CB0MB3R: because you will realize how silly it is to artificially limit yourself to a distro without package management | 04:51 |
| scheater6 | needles: the other way, kinda the old skool way, is to mkdir in /mnt and then issue "sudo mnt /dev/hdx /mnt/[mountpoint]" | 04:51 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | needles: mount it to /media/yourharddrivename | 04:51 |
| Dexh1 | I can not login on kubuntu..say error 15 file not found | 04:51 |
| t3h0wner2 | AT0M1CB0MB3R knows that, but not to CD to the dir you are trying to modify? | 04:51 |
| t3h0wner2 | interesting | 04:51 |
| t3h0wner2 | Dexh1: Find out what the file is, and replace it. | 04:52 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | t3h0wner2: im new to linux dont trip homie | 04:52 |
| t3h0wner2 | AT0M1CB0MB3R: No, I was just surprised. | 04:52 |
| needles | scheater6, AT0M1CB0MB3R: the reason i cant do it the easy way is because its complaing that its granted access to UID 999 and not 0 | 04:52 |
| t3h0wner2 | chown? | 04:52 |
| Dexh1 | not sure seems like it can not find my HD | 04:52 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | yeah chown it | 04:52 |
| hydrogen | UID=999? | 04:52 |
| hydrogen | that sounds like a problem with the command you were using to mount it | 04:53 |
| hydrogen | like saying uid instead of umask | 04:53 |
| hydrogen | well | 04:53 |
| hydrogen | no | 04:53 |
| t3h0wner2 | mmm | 04:53 |
| hydrogen | because that wouldn't make sense for umask | 04:53 |
| Dr_willis | or he could just do the work as root. | 04:53 |
| Dr_willis | and mount it manually | 04:53 |
| hydrogen | but it sounds like a problem with waht you used to mount it | 04:53 |
| needles | livecd is root | 04:53 |
| DaSkreech | The Live Cd has the main user UID=999 | 04:53 |
| scheater6 | needles: no it's not | 04:53 |
| Dr_willis | the livecd DESKTOP is not root - i belive | 04:53 |
| romulo | good night penguins | 04:54 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | after setting mountpoint needles you should then type in terminal "sudo mount /media/yourharddrivename" | 04:54 |
| needles | ah | 04:54 |
| scheater6 | needles: although the root account is not password protected, you're still not automatically root | 04:54 |
| DaSkreech | It's not root | 04:54 |
| needles | scheater6: thats what i confused it as | 04:54 |
| Dexh1 | is there any way to diagnose or reinstall boot file | 04:54 |
| romulo | sorry I came late to the discussion, what live cd are we talking about? | 04:54 |
| scheater6 | romulo: kubuntu - needles is trying to mount a hdd via livecd | 04:54 |
| needles | romulo: kubuntu 7.10 desktop | 04:55 |
| romulo | scheater6: thanks | 04:55 |
| romulo | needles: thanks | 04:55 |
| romulo | well time to go to bed, have a good one penguins | 04:56 |
| needles | romulo: see ya | 04:56 |
| scheater6 | romulo: peace | 04:56 |
| romulo | thanks same to all of you | 04:56 |
| Dexh1 | 4 | 04:57 |
| xstat | hello, i have a very fresh problem just before finishing the installation of kubuntu 7.1, the application kopete fails when connecting to msn network and produces SIGSEGV error, anybody knows what the problem is? | 04:57 |
| romulo | may the opensource be with you | 04:57 |
| scheater6 | needles: my friend, I still suggest you make use of /mnt | 04:57 |
| Dexh1 | 4 how can restore my Kubuntu | 04:57 |
| needles | scheater6: im doing it like that, but mounting it to /media instead of /mnt | 04:57 |
| godfodder | hmm i'm still trying to figure out how to create a grub boot loaderon my usb flashdrive | 04:57 |
| dotz | when i close my SCIM/SKIM, after awhile it will auto load back..why is that so? | 04:57 |
| needles | scheater6: aha, victory! | 04:58 |
| godfodder | i remember a "boot" folder and in that, a "grub" folder | 04:58 |
| scheater6 | instead of making a persistent mountpoint, just make a one-time one in the command - that means you have to create the dir before hand with sudo mkdir | 04:58 |
| scheater6 | needles: or you could beat me to it! good deal man | 04:58 |
| kubuntunewbie | good night kiddies. | 04:58 |
| scheater6 | needles: now I don't even remember the original, "main problem"...something about X11? | 04:58 |
| needles | scheater6: i think thats what i just did, but im not sure | 04:58 |
| needles | scheater6: i just couldnt access my hd from livecd | 04:59 |
| godfodder | i just need it for after i install xp | 04:59 |
| needles | i had to mount the different partitions | 04:59 |
| Dexh1 | is there anyway to restore kubuntu from live CD? | 04:59 |
| godfodder | so i can boot back into kubuntu | 04:59 |
| xstat | sorry about my interruption, just wanted to know about kopete's critical error when connecting to msn network | 04:59 |
| scheater6 | needles: ah. yes you do. I didn't even thing about that | 04:59 |
| scheater6 | xstat: I got nothing on that - but as an aside, earlier you made reference to "7.1" - just letting ya know, keep the zero - "7.10" - it's a date | 05:00 |
| xstat | ok, thank you for the comment, i'll keep that in mind | 05:00 |
| * Dexh1 wants to know how to restore kubuntu from live CD | 05:00 | |
| needles | Dexh1: did you mess up your upgrade to gutsy? | 05:01 |
| Dexh1 | yes I did :( | 05:01 |
| needles | Dexh1: the same thing im trying to do | 05:01 |
| Dexh1 | bummer | 05:01 |
| needles | Dexh1: im throwing in the towel though, and just moving important files off that partition and doing a fresh partition | 05:01 |
| godfodder | hmm if xp is going to overwrite the mbr, then can i use the kubuntu install disk to boot into kubuntu, or reinstall the mbr? | 05:02 |
| DaSkreech | Dexh1: it won't boot? | 05:02 |
| needles | Dexh1: I have no idea how to fix it, and spent too many precious late night hours last night trying to do so | 05:02 |
| Dr_willis | !fixgrub | 05:02 |
| ubotu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 05:02 |
| Dexh1 | no it won't Da | 05:02 |
| godfodder | ta mate | 05:02 |
| Dr_willis | godfodder, check out that !fixgrub factoids :) | 05:02 |
| godfodder | sweet | 05:02 |
| Dexh1 | I geta error ..file not founf\d | 05:02 |
| Dexh1 | found | 05:02 |
| godfodder | thanks Dr_willis :) | 05:02 |
| dotz | when i close my SCIM/SKIM, after awhile it will auto load back..why is that so? | 05:03 |
| supert0nes | i've got a what if question: I put my home on its own partition, so if i screwed up my os how would i go about restoring to the same settings | 05:04 |
| Dr_willis | supert0nes, i just install. and then edit fstab to point to the proper partition after i reinstall | 05:04 |
| supert0nes | then all i would need to do is reinstall my programs and i'm good? | 05:05 |
| DaSkreech | Dexh1: Which file is not found? | 05:05 |
| scheater6 | supert0nes: well, putting /home on it's own partition helps alot - assuming "screwed up my os" leaves /home untouched, just reinstall k/ubuntu, and during the install list what is now /home as the /home partition and "do not format" | 05:05 |
| supert0nes | sounds good thanks a lot, ive not known how to fix x a few times with feisty and its nice to have something more reliable to come back to after a reinstall | 05:06 |
| basicjay | humble greeting all. | 05:06 |
| needles | how do i access a locked folder on my hd from livecd? | 05:06 |
| * supert0nes realizes that not fixing easy problems in x is another matter completely heh | 05:07 | |
| needles | namely, my desktop folder | 05:07 |
| scheater6 | needles: sudo dolphin | 05:07 |
| needles | scheater6: ah, i see | 05:07 |
| keaton | I'm back, can you guys tell me the command to mount a fat32 flash drive? | 05:07 |
| Dr_willis | !fat32 | 05:07 |
| ubotu | ntfs is To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For NTFS write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse | 05:07 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm. sudo mount /dev/whjatever /media/whatever -t vfat | 05:08 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 05:08 |
| Dr_willis | or somthing like that | 05:08 |
| hydrogen | well | 05:09 |
| hydrogen | if you plug the drive in | 05:09 |
| hydrogen | the dialog should pop up | 05:09 |
| scheater6 | keaton: I still suggest, considering it's livecd, that you mkdir in /mnt and mount it there instead of trying to get it to automount, or even in /media where it tries to automatically make a dir - it's nice when it works, but making the dir yourself always works. | 05:09 |
| hydrogen | and you can just open it there | 05:09 |
| DaSkreech | !kdesu | scheater6 and needles | 05:09 |
| ubotu | scheater6 and needles: 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 | 05:09 |
| Dr_willis | It pays to learn how to mount things manually :) | 05:09 |
| needles | Dr_willis: indeed | 05:10 |
| hydrogen | and it also causes all sorts of fun problems | 05:10 |
| hydrogen | about permissions | 05:10 |
| hydrogen | unless you do all sorts of work | 05:10 |
| hydrogen | in other words.. why make things harder than they have to be? | 05:10 |
| Dr_willis | or understand how permissions work. :) | 05:10 |
| hydrogen | no. | 05:11 |
| hydrogen | you can only mount a device as root unless its in your fstab | 05:11 |
| m0u5e | hi, i just installed kubuntu gutsy on my dell m1330 and i am having problems with setting up my driver & resolution | 05:11 |
| hydrogen | and has user{,s} in the option field | 05:11 |
| hydrogen | if you mount a device as root, you can only read/write to it as root | 05:11 |
| m0u5e | i think it might have to do with dell giving us only 128mb of ram, rather than 256 | 05:11 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | how do i use irssi? | 05:11 |
| m0u5e | is there anyway to tell? | 05:11 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | to connect to freenode | 05:11 |
| scheater6 | DaSkreech: I was only suggesting sudo dolphin because it's the livecd. not to much to muck up if it's a temporary thing. But that is a good point | 05:12 |
| Dr_willis | AT0M1CB0MB3R, go to the irssi web site - they have some very good starter docs the command would be /server irc.freenode.net | 05:12 |
| DaSkreech | scheater6: Knowing is 1/2 the power | 05:12 |
| m0u5e | i am reconfigure xorg @ the moment, should i be using the nv or nvidia driver? | 05:12 |
| m0u5e | or are they just the same? -_-; | 05:12 |
| hydrogen | they are not the same | 05:13 |
| hydrogen | and it depends on your system | 05:13 |
| jerbear | when i hit mute on my keyboard, it shows a notification saying that muting is on, but sound is still playing... what's going on? | 05:13 |
| Dr_willis | m0u5e, nv is the gpl nvidia driver . 'nvidia' is the Official Nviaid driver from nvidia | 05:13 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | m0u5e: use nvidia | 05:13 |
| hydrogen | the nv driver is the open source free driver. | 05:13 |
| hydrogen | use that unless you installed the nvidia driver from multiverse | 05:13 |
| needles | hydrogen: it sort of hurts my eyes | 05:13 |
| m0u5e | alright thx | 05:13 |
| hydrogen | The nvidia driver has 3d enhancements and is a whole bunch better, but is not free-as-in-beer | 05:13 |
| hydrogen | put that in the conf if you enabled it | 05:13 |
| hydrogen | er | 05:14 |
| hydrogen | rit is free as in beer | 05:14 |
| hydrogen | its not free-as-in-liberty | 05:14 |
| * Dr_willis perfers Free as in Love. | 05:14 | |
| Dr_willis | :) | 05:14 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | how do i connect to irc.freenode.net using irssi? | 05:14 |
| Dr_willis | AT0M1CB0MB3R, i answered ya earlier. You use the /server command | 05:15 |
| needles | AT0M1CB0MB3R: /connect irc.freenode.net | 05:15 |
| Dr_willis | or was it /connect :) | 05:15 |
| supert0nes | anyone got an easy tutorial for setting up vnc i tried x forwarding and the program i'm using is hard on the network connection | 05:15 |
| jerbear | anyone know what could be wrong with my sound? | 05:15 |
| needles | jerbear: whats the issue | 05:15 |
| Dr_willis | supert0nes, why are you using x forwarding and vnc? | 05:15 |
| hydrogen | loves not open source. | 05:15 |
| Dr_willis | supert0nes, i normally install 'vnc4server' and ya just run 'vncserver | 05:16 |
| supert0nes | my school doesnt have the ide i use | 05:16 |
| jerbear | needles: sound works, volume control works, but the mute key does not actually mute the sound.... although it shows a notification saying muting is on | 05:16 |
| Dr_willis | supert0nes, why are you using Both is what i dont get. :) | 05:16 |
| supert0nes | oh im not using both | 05:16 |
| supert0nes | i was using x forwarding and dont like that approach anymore sorry | 05:16 |
| needles | jerbear: for some reason the keys get messed up, but everything works for sure when you open up the volume control panel | 05:17 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | how do i change my username in irssi | 05:17 |
| needles | jerbear: or mixer i mean | 05:17 |
| scheater6 | jerbear: you have the key mapped to mute the wrong channel - plus mastermono will play sound even when master is muted. | 05:17 |
| hydrogen | AT0M1CB0MB3R: read the docs on the irssi website | 05:17 |
| hydrogen | AT0M1CB0MB3R: its off topic for this channel | 05:17 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | wow why | 05:17 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | why not just tell me | 05:17 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | and get it over with | 05:17 |
| hydrogen | because it has nothing to do with kubuntu. | 05:17 |
| Dr_willis | AT0M1CB0MB3R, if you want to learn irssi.. GO to the irssi web site and read their uyser guides. | 05:18 |
| jerbear | how do i check what channel it's mapped to? | 05:18 |
| scheater6 | jerbear: under kmix, setting, configure global settings | 05:18 |
| DaSkreech | Night all! | 05:18 |
| needles | AT0M1CB0MB3R: man irssi | 05:18 |
| needles | everything you need to know is usually in the man page | 05:18 |
| Dr_willis | AT0M1CB0MB3R, all your questions you have been asking are answered there. | 05:18 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | YOU man irssi!!!! | 05:18 |
| needles | AT0M1CB0MB3R: man pages are your friend | 05:18 |
| DaSkreech | !man | 05:18 |
| ubotu | The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or type man:/ in Konqueror's location bar. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 05:18 |
| scheater6 | jerbear: try just pulling the mastermono channel all the way down | 05:18 |
| Dr_willis | THe starter guides at the irssi page are very well done. | 05:19 |
| jerbear | scheater6: i checked that... i tried setting the "toggle volume of master", but it didn't help | 05:19 |
| jerbear | i don't see a mastermono | 05:20 |
| scheater6 | jerbear: I'm not sure exactly the purpose of the master mono channel, but it causes me alot of grief. if it's all the way down, and the button is mapped correctly, then see if it works for you | 05:20 |
| scheater6 | jerbear: right click on the kmix icon and select show mixer window | 05:20 |
| AT0M1CB0MB3R | !no | 05:21 |
| ubotu | Hvis du vil diskutere Ubuntu paa norsk, venligst gaa til #ubuntu-no. Takk! | 05:21 |
| needles | how do you make konq the default filesystem again | 05:21 |
| jerbear | yeh, i'm there, i just don't see mastermono | 05:21 |
| sunny_ | Hi,how can I open the 3D desktop | 05:21 |
| hydrogen | !dolphin | 05:21 |
| ubotu | 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. | 05:21 |
| jerbear | i see master and a ton of other channels | 05:21 |
| hydrogen | needles: ^ | 05:21 |
| needles | hydrogen: thanks | 05:21 |
| navets | compiz-fusion is really buggy for me, where can I get the repo for beryl | 05:21 |
| Dr_willis | navets, as far as i know Beryl is dead. | 05:22 |
| diomedes | I installed xserver-xgl to get compiz working but it hosed my desktop setup badly, soon as I removed it was back to normal does it use its own conf? | 05:22 |
| scheater6 | jerbear: hmmm...it's second from the right on mine and always has been - I'm looking at it now and it's "Master Mono" not mastermono | 05:22 |
| scheater6 | *left - second from the left | 05:22 |
| jerbear | i see neither, but we probably have different sound cards | 05:22 |
| hydrogen | I don't believe that. | 05:22 |
| === AT0M1CB0MB3R is now known as at0m1cb0mb3r | ||
| hydrogen | everyone has the same hardware | 05:23 |
| hydrogen | its what makes linux so easy to support | 05:23 |
| === at0m1cb0mb3r is now known as AT0M1CB0MB3R | ||
| scheater6 | jerbear: I was hoping the main windows was universal across soundcards. I see that's not the case | 05:23 |
| navets | Dr_willis: I was using it today, I removed it to try and fix compiz-fusion bug , but it didn't help | 05:23 |
| hydrogen | oh wait.. I'm confusing it with Mac O$ x | 05:23 |
| jerbear | what i mean is that my driver is emu10k1 (audigy)... he's going to see different channels unless he has a similar sound card | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | navets, id say just remove it.. and leave it removed. :) | 05:23 |
| navets | Dr_willis: i liked it :( | 05:24 |
| scheater6 | jerbear: well, the way I found out that was the problem with my setup was by muting everything and unmuting one channel at a time until I found a setup that worked. | 05:24 |
| scheater6 | jerbear: if you can't do it exactly as I did, perhaps you can use my method | 05:24 |
| navets | Dr_willis: humm is there a way to get rid of everything beryl from my system then? | 05:24 |
| Dr_willis | navets, i never had beryl installed. I did a clean install. | 05:24 |
| Dr_willis | navets, i was thinking the 'upgrade' removed beryl. | 05:25 |
| navets | Dr_willis: k, im gonna look into it | 05:25 |
| helloyo | i gave ubuntu a try yesterday, i can't stand gnome anymore. i love simplicity, but its not simple... its just... bad | 05:31 |

| n8k99 | firefox 2008? | 05:32 |

| robin_ | thats the 63bit ver | 05:32 |

| khatahn | hi, there was some kind of desktop search application in kubuntu when i installed the Beta version. however, now with the latest updates it seems to have disappeared. is it just me or was it disabled somehow? | 05:36 |
| tds | needles, umount | 05:36 |
| tds | khatahn, strigi? | 05:36 |
| * Dhraakellian tries the rescue option | 05:36 | |
| Jucato | khatahn: just disabled by default. you can run strigi-applet or add a Strigi search applet in the panel or go to strigi:/ in Konqueror | 05:37 |
| * Dhraakellian is looking forward to Kubuntu and having (relatively) decent graphics performance again | 05:37 | |
| Dhraakellian | Suse didn't seem to do a very good job with my Radeon Mobility U1 | 05:37 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. thers a slash dot artucal about Gusty being better then Vista.. and it has a Vista Advertisement in it... | 05:37 |
| Dr_willis | http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/10/23/1929249&from=rss | 05:37 |
| khatahn | actually i would just like to make sure that it really is completely disabled :) | 05:38 |
| needles | tds: thanks | 05:38 |
| tds | yeah, i don't use desktop search apps, seems a waste of resources. i know where all my crap's at anyhow | 05:38 |
| tds | Dr_willis, ads, i remember those. i use no-script and ad-block so it's been a while | 05:39 |
| tds | khatahn, did you try apt-get remove strigi? or use the graphical aptitude manager? | 05:40 |
| strtok_ | anyone have a favorite alternative to konsole that lets you control-click URls? (to launch firefox) | 05:40 |
| nite613__ | I've got a nice KDE theme that I really like, and would like to see it reflected in firefox. I have the "Use my KDE style in GTK applications" button checked, but FX doesn't seem to be picking it up | 05:41 |
| khatahn | tds: i don't mind it being installed, kubuntu-desktop probably depends on it anyway(?), just trying to make sure it's not running in any way without me knowing about it | 05:41 |
| tds | strtok_, i think yakuake does that, not sure. it hides in the desktop and push f12 and it comes down. kind of neat but konsole works fine for me | 05:41 |
| Dr_willis | Yakuake is handy | 05:42 |
| yareckon_ | hi guys, if this is off topic, please direct me to the right place to ask my question, but perhaps you can help | 05:42 |
| Dr_willis | i always have a konsole open however. :) | 05:42 |
| tds | khatahn, go to system settings, advanced, and it may be in "system services" | 05:42 |
| Jucato | strtok_: Konsole 4 will have that. but you might want to use this workaround: right-click on klipper and Enable Actions | 05:42 |
| Jucato | tds: it's not a system service | 05:42 |
| khatahn | tds: i think i've looked for it there before.. | 05:43 |
| khatahn | ah | 05:43 |
| yareckon_ | I'm currently running an ubuntu gnome desktop, but I want to use kde apps as well, but they aren't launching | 05:43 |
| tds | khatahn, i have it safely uninstalled | 05:43 |
| Jucato | khatahn: Ctrl+Esc to check if it's running or not. or you can just remove the .desktop file for strigi in /usr/share/autostart/ or edit it no to start on login | 05:43 |
| Dr_willis | yareckon_, ya should be able to run kde and gnome apps side by side | 05:43 |
| yareckon_ | I get amarok's splash screen, but no window, konqueror, kontact, and kword show up in the process list, but don't create windows | 05:43 |
| Dr_willis | yareckon_, run one from the terminal and see if you see any error messages | 05:43 |
| yareckon_ | I do on my other box, so I know it's possible | 05:44 |
| yareckon_ | ok, will do | 05:44 |
| tds | nite613__, if you have firefox themes going, they will overwrite your kde theme | 05:44 |
| Dr_willis | i wonder if it may be a compiz issue. | 05:44 |
| diomedes | can you theme just the panel? | 05:44 |
| * Dr_willis wonders about EVERYTHING if its a compiz issue... | 05:44 | |
| khatahn | Jucato: ok, thanks | 05:44 |
| * Dhraakellian thinks the first install attempt got confused by his LVM setup | 05:44 | |
| yareckon_ | ok, when launching from the terminal, it looks like the app goign to work (my cursor moves down to the next line), but everything stops there | 05:46 |
| yareckon_ | the app shows up in the gnome process list as sleeping | 05:46 |
| yareckon_ | and just hangs out until I reboot | 05:46 |
| Dr_willis | Freaky. You using Gnome right now? | 05:46 |
| yareckon_ | I have installed "kubuntu desktop" to make sure it's not a missing dependency | 05:47 |
| yareckon_ | yeah | 05:47 |
| Dr_willis | yareckon_, dose kde work properly by itself? | 05:47 |
| tds | yareckon_, do you have kdelibs and other kde dependents installed? | 05:47 |
| yareckon_ | tds, I think so | 05:47 |
| yareckon_ | Dr_willis, I can switch to kdm, reboot and see | 05:48 |
| Dr_willis | you dont need to reboot or switch to kdm, | 05:48 |
| nite613__ | tds: Maybe that's it.... I'll investigate | 05:48 |
| Dr_willis | you can logout, and slect kde session | 05:48 |
| yareckon_ | I haven't tried creating a new user, which was my next step | 05:48 |
| yareckon_ | ok | 05:48 |
| Dr_willis | or use tje | 05:48 |
| yareckon_ | from gdm screen? | 05:48 |
| Dr_willis | Tjeres the login in as a new user thing ya can have kde and gnome both going at same time | 05:49 |
| Dr_willis | the Session menu on GDM screen lets ya pick kde | 05:49 |
| tds | nite613__, also if you think the firefox buttons are ugly, search for "firefox widgets" and there's a few apps that will change those to something more aesthetic | 05:49 |
| yareckon_ | ok, I'll obviously be gone for a bit, I'll let you know what happens | 05:49 |
| Dr_willis | try logging in as a new user. :_ ya wont leave at all. heh | 05:49 |
| yareckon_ | oh, fast user switching, that's true | 05:50 |
| Dr_willis | alt-ctrl F7 and F8 to get to the alternative desktopp | 05:50 |
| needles | Dr_willis: i didnt know you could do that | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | needles, fancy new feature eh? :) | 05:52 |
| nite613__ | tds: The firefox theme is set to the default. I dont' see any way to turn them completely off. I'm fine with the buttoms, I just want my colour scheme and styles | 05:52 |
| needles | Dr_willis: yeah | 05:52 |
| Dhraakellian | hmm | 05:54 |
| Dhraakellian | so, will the Kubuntu 8.04 LiveCD installer support LVM? | 05:54 |
| tds | nite613__, kde color schemes don't apply to firefox, just maybe the title bar. you'll just have to find the firefox theme closest to yours. there's plenty of nice ones out there | 05:55 |
| scott_ | I have an external harddrive which I can't write to without being root, how can I change this? | 05:56 |
| nite613__ | Do I need to install a gtk theme in FX or something? Turn on gtk-qt somehow? | 05:57 |
| Dr_willis | scott_, and what filesystem is on the drive? | 05:57 |
| needles | scott_: mount it to something | 05:57 |
| yareckon_ | ok, I'm back | 05:57 |
| scott_ | Dr_willis: it is vfat | 05:57 |
| Dr_willis | scott_, create a proper fstab entry for it with the 'user | 05:57 |
| yareckon_ | kde apps work just fine under kde or gnome with a new user account | 05:57 |
| Dr_willis | 'user' option and the propler 'umask' option | 05:57 |
| yareckon_ | so my current account is fooked, bummer | 05:58 |
| Dr_willis | yareckon_, weird. could rename the gnome config dirs. | 05:58 |
| scott_ | Dr_willis: I don't completely follow | 05:58 |
| Dr_willis | and let gnome remake them | 05:58 |
| tds | nite613__, go to tools, add-ons, in firefox and it'll take you to the themes | 05:58 |
| Dr_willis | !fstab | 05:58 |
| ubotu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 05:58 |
| yareckon_ | when kde apps are a guest on gnome, do they share anything that might have gotten messed up? I see a .kde directory | 05:59 |
| nite613__ | tds: I found that. Solved my problem by loging out and back in to kde | 05:59 |
| scott_ | Dr_willis: my fstab says the following for this drive /dev/sdb1 /media/MYBOOK vfat uid=0,gid=0,auto,rw,users 0 0 | 05:59 |
| Dr_willis | scott_, you dont want those uid/gid | 05:59 |
| yareckon_ | it's the lack of any error messages that is leaving me guessing | 06:00 |
| Dr_willis | that may be the whole problem | 06:00 |
| yareckon_ | thanks for the help guys | 06:00 |
| Dr_willis | You could use uid/gid of 1000 or whtever the gid/uid is for your user | 06:00 |
| scott_ | Dr_willis: ok, thanks | 06:00 |
| jarn | Woot, I'm running Gutsy now. | 06:01 |
| kristen | IRC is a strange and hostile place... o.o; | 06:03 |
| Dr_willis | !botsnack | 06:04 |
| ubotu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 06:04 |
| temppppp | hello everyone from snowy Siberia ! | 06:04 |
| tds | kristen, been to yahoo chat? don't even get me started | 06:04 |
| Dr_willis | Yahoo Chat... heh heh.. what a joke.. | 06:04 |
| Dr_willis | the 'see my webcam spam chat' | 06:04 |
| tds | it's the Jerry Springer of online chat | 06:05 |
| temppppp | Cam everyone help me with set upping printer ? | 06:05 |
| Dr_willis | temppppp, and what printer is this? | 06:05 |
| kristen | No, no yahoo chat. Ye gods, I haven't chatted on anything but IM for at least 8 years. | 06:06 |
| temppppp | it's HP Laser Jet 3015 | 06:06 |
| Dr_willis | temppppp, what have you done to confgure it? | 06:07 |
| Dr_willis | i plugedin my printers and it poped up the dialogs and let me confiogre it. :) | 06:07 |
| temppppp | Situation: I have a Kubuntu and Ubuntu in one network with Windows which has shared Printer | 06:07 |
| kristen | Local printer: Easy. Networked printer: beating with chicken wire. >_> | 06:07 |
| Dr_willis | NOW you get to the real info. :) | 06:08 |
| Dr_willis | network printer with samba should be easy | 06:08 |
| temppppp | I tried to use native tools, but Linuxes doesnot see a Windows printer | 06:08 |
| temppppp | Windows in an Domain | 06:08 |
| Dr_willis | you have any othe rshares on the windows box? | 06:08 |
| temppppp | year | 06:08 |
| Dr_willis | can it access them? | 06:08 |
| temppppp | I can see and can access to windows, I can see a folders | 06:09 |
| Dr_willis | You may need to set up samba and give the linux user a samba password. I always share my printers the other way. Letting them be on the linux box. and windows accesses them | 06:09 |
| temppppp | I read that in samba I need the same working group as in Windows , is it right ? | 06:09 |
| Dr_willis | Yep. | 06:10 |
| Dr_willis | I think so | 06:10 |
| Dr_willis | It sounds liek windows may not be set to share the printer publicaly | 06:10 |
| temppppp | Yeah, when i try to access windwows printer from other windows I need to enter a password and login , then I can share this printer succesfully | 06:11 |
| tds | can someone tell me how to completely get rid of samba? any time i uninstall, even with purge, my settings are back? | 06:11 |
| Dr_willis | temppppp, Yep. thats why i think its a 'public' thing. :) | 06:11 |
| temppppp | Printer is share to other but not in the guest mode | 06:11 |
| Jucato | tds: what do you mean by "my settings are back"? | 06:11 |
| tds | Jucato, i mean, the smb.conf seems the same | 06:12 |
| temppppp | by the way, SWAT needs an apache? | 06:13 |
| Jucato | where is smb.conf located? (not sure if apt removes system config files that have been modified) | 06:13 |
| Jucato | tds: ^^^^ | 06:13 |
| temppppp | I installed swat, but apache was not install by dependencies | 06:13 |
| tds | Jucato, yes, it was modified. I guess I should've removed it manually | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis | dont use swat.. thers better tools out there now a days | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis | !find ksamba | 06:14 |
| * Dhraakellian waits for the second install attempt to finish chugging away | 06:14 | |
| ubotu | Package/file ksamba does not exist in gutsy | 06:14 |
| needles | ok, i just freshly installed gutsy, and yet its telling me theres a new version i can upgrade to...gutsy | 06:14 |
| Dr_willis | the workgroup is one line in the samba config file. | 06:14 |
| needles | so im on gutsy, and its saying i can uprgrade to gutsy | 06:14 |
| Dr_willis | needles, do a update/upgrade.. and let it run.. may be some uodates | 06:15 |
| temppppp | ok thanks | 06:15 |
| posingaspopular | needles: or its a bug | 06:15 |
| temppppp | I'll try | 06:15 |
| Dr_willis | the upgrade button has a bit of a bug :) says its a upgrade when its done | 06:15 |
| Jucato | needles: it's a known bug | 06:15 |
| tds | what do you guys think of my color scheme i just uploaded? http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Blackened?content=68365 | 06:15 |
| needles | Jucato: im just going to ignore it | 06:15 |
| Jucato | Dr_willis: it's telling him to upgrade to gutys, no that there are just updates :) | 06:16 |
| xo | hi, just install kubuntu 7.10, and i couldnt find compiz fusion and firefox, also printer is not automaticaly detected when it pluged in, im wondering if the feature is acctually there | 06:16 |
| Jucato | !compiz | xo | 06:16 |
| ubotu | xo: 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 | 06:16 |
| Jucato | FAQ #1 strikes again! | 06:16 |
| Dr_willis | hay! thats my line! :) | 06:17 |
| kristen | I don't suppose anyone here could tell me why, when all my setting _seem_ to be correct, the new ATI 8.42 driver simply will not enable direct rendering? | 06:17 |
| Jucato | xo: you must be thinking about Ubuntu, not Kubuntu. Kubuntu doesn't have Firefox installed bydefault | 06:17 |
| tds | needles, are you using the beta? i was using gutsy beta and upgraded when it told me. now it's supposed officially gutsy RC | 06:17 |
| Jucato | tds: no it's really a known bug | 06:17 |
| xo | ai ai, thankx for the info | 06:18 |
| needles | tds: i just downloaded the iso off kubuntu.org | 06:18 |
| needles | so i assume is RC | 06:18 |
| needles | brb | 06:18 |
| Jucato | it's not RC. it's stable | 06:18 |
| Jucato | tds: RC = Release *Candidate* | 06:18 |
| Dr_willis | RC = Really Cool. | 06:18 |
| Jucato | well that too... but an RC release isn't RC :P | 06:18 |
| tds | as RC, i meant, official Gutsy...non-beta | 06:19 |
| Jucato | that's not RC :) | 06:19 |
| Jucato | that's Final release. or GM (Gold Master) | 06:19 |
| tds | Jucato, what is it then? | 06:19 |
| tds | oh, ok | 06:19 |
| Jucato | RC = Release Canditate = the release *before* final release. it's still a candidate | 06:19 |
| tds | Jucato, i don't quite understand that. if it's not good enough for release, may as well be called a beta | 06:20 |
| Jucato | Alpha -> Beta -> RC -> Final | 06:21 |
| Jucato | that's the usual flow of releases | 06:21 |
| Jucato | it's not like Ubuntu started that | 06:21 |
| _Pete_ | morning! | 06:21 |
| Dhraakellian | whew | 06:21 |
| posingaspopular | we should rename it to really cool though, so people know whats up | 06:21 |
| Dhraakellian | it appears to be working this time | 06:21 |
| _Pete_ | anyone else having problems with clipboard copy/paste | 06:21 |
| Dr_willis | Not heard of any complaints _Pete_ | 06:22 |
| Dr_willis | clarify the problem perhaps? | 06:22 |
| Xacarith | hal storage fixed mount all options refused uid 1000 | 06:22 |
| _Pete_ | well.. when I try to copy paste | 06:22 |
| _Pete_ | the paste isnt working | 06:22 |
| Dhraakellian | because there's a chance, however extremely remote, that the RC might just be suitable for use as the final release version | 06:22 |
| Dr_willis | _Pete_, you mean Text? or files in the Dolphin file manager? | 06:22 |
| _Pete_ | between different progs | 06:22 |
| _Pete_ | text | 06:22 |
| Jucato | tds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Release_candidate#Release_candidate and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReleaseCandidate | 06:23 |
| Xacarith | Why does kde have such issues with managing my other hard drives? | 06:23 |
| Dr_willis | Might want to check the klipper settings. | 06:23 |
| _Pete_ | like trying to c/p url from konsole -> other program (konsole, kopete) | 06:23 |
| _Pete_ | it worked fine couple of day ago | 06:23 |
| yareckon | hi kids, thanks for you help before... I've solved the issue in my user, and wanted to report back Dr_willis | 06:23 |
| _Pete_ | but then some upgrades come and problems started | 06:23 |
| yareckon | permissions or temp files were probably the issue | 06:23 |
| _Pete_ | and I havent changed any setting for that | 06:24 |
| yareckon | following instructions here | 06:24 |
| yareckon | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/susenovell-60/error-could-not-start-kstartupconfig.-328302/ | 06:24 |
| _Pete_ | YY | 06:24 |
| Dr_willis | _Pete_, interesting. Ive not heard of any others with the problem | 06:24 |
| _Pete_ | that YY is when I trie to copy URL from firefox | 06:24 |
| yareckon | I chown -R my whole user dir to repair permissions | 06:24 |
| _Pete_ | which should be: http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/chatirc | 06:24 |
| Xacarith | any one? | 06:25 |
| yareckon | blew away everything in /tmp | 06:25 |
| _Pete_ | in klipper when I do Edit | 06:25 |
| _Pete_ | its already screwed up | 06:25 |
| tds | Jucato, so what's with programmers doing the 1.48372 thing? why not version 1 or 2 or maybe 1.1 or 1.2 at the most? | 06:25 |
| _Pete_ | like some 2 unprintable character | 06:25 |
| yareckon | and kde will log in as well as kde apps will now launch under gnome | 06:25 |
| yareckon | happy ending, thanks for commisserating | 06:25 |
| Jucato | tds: never seen a program w/ that version number yet :) | 06:25 |
| Daisuke_Ido | tds: because version numbers reflect actual versioning | 06:26 |
| Jucato | also different people/projects use different numbering/versioning schemes | 06:26 |
| Daisuke_Ido | and it's usually something like 1.3.4.2 (if even that long) | 06:26 |
| _Pete_ | yes seems to be same copy/paste problem occurs between every app | 06:27 |
| Jucato | but nothing like "1.48372" | 06:27 |
| tds | Daisuke_Ido, so if they make one-tenth of a change, it goes up to version 1.1? is there an official version numbering scheme accepted? | 06:27 |
| _Pete_ | very annoying | 06:27 |
| _Pete_ | any ideas where even start to seek solution | 06:27 |
| Jucato | tds: nope. it's quite arbitrary | 06:27 |
| Jucato | tds: it might be 1.1.1 or 1.1-1 | 06:27 |
| tds | Jucato, kind of thought so | 06:27 |
| Jucato | and has nothing to do with the earlier scheme of Alpha, Beta, RC, Final :) | 06:27 |
| posingaspopular | it's all psychological | 06:28 |
| _Pete_ | maybe do something with wierd behaviour yesterday | 06:28 |
| _Pete_ | I was already using kubuntu 7.10 before last thursday but the system upgrade notification occured only yesterday and started to do upgrade | 06:29 |
| _Pete_ | even it already was | 06:29 |
| Dr_willis | .1 does not mean 1/tenth in version #'s :) | 06:29 |
| _Pete_ | in prosess some packages where actually upgrade | 06:29 |
| _Pete_ | d | 06:29 |
| _Pete_ | and after that very many was marked "not used any more" | 06:30 |
| * Xacarith frowns then sighs "Hard drive management seems to be kde's weakest point... | 06:31 | |
| Daisuke_Ido | Xacarith: i would have thought falling this far behind ubuntu in printer management was weak... never had much issue with hdd management | 06:34 |
| ackbahr | Hi! Feisty Fawn here. When I unplug my laptop from its power source, it goes to "suspend"; no setting specifies this, and I don't want it of course! Could someone help me? | 06:34 |
| Xacarith | Well, I've not done any printing from kde. Had no issue plugging in a printer and printing out something over on gnome And I have yet to get my one hard drive mounted any where... | 06:36 |
| needles | audacious is still being supported isnt it? | 06:37 |
| needles | unlike xmms | 06:37 |
| wilson | Xacarith: what do you mean by trouble managing hard drives ? | 06:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | needles: correct | 06:37 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Xacarith: what filesystem? | 06:38 |
| _dns_ | how do I change (relax) the password settings in relation to the password strength? | 06:38 |
| Dr_willis | I dident think GNOME or KDE managed the drives it was the HAL stuff that managed the AUTOMOUNTING of drives. | 06:38 |
| Dr_willis | You could always manage them by hand by editing the fstab | 06:38 |
| wilson | yeah, i've got no idea what he means | 06:38 |
| Dr_willis | as for printer mangement.. gusty has seen/poped up dialogs and auto set up my 2 printers so far. :) | 06:39 |
| Dr_willis | of course with windows.. i had to go to the hp.com web site and run their tool to find the riught drivers.. then do as 127mb download for the hp printer.... | 06:39 |
| sub[t]rnl | how d | 06:39 |
| Xacarith | Well I can't get my other hard drive to mount | 06:40 |
| needles | whats the library to watch avi, mpeg, wma etc | 06:40 |
| needles | with kmplayer? | 06:40 |
| Daisuke_Ido | sudo apt-get install vlc :D | 06:41 |
| Dr_willis | !find kubuntu-restricted | 06:41 |
| ubotu | Found: kubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:41 |
| Dr_willis | !info kubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:41 |
| ubotu | kubuntu-restricted-extras: Commonly used restricted packages. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10 (gutsy), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB | 06:41 |
| needles | Daisuke_: heh, thats somewhat what i was going to do | 06:41 |
| Dr_willis | needles, i always install that kubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:41 |
| Dr_willis | I think it might have a lot of the codecs | 06:41 |
| Dr_willis | its a meta-package - it installs a lot of the extras people want | 06:42 |
| needles | Dr_willis: ill get it a go | 06:42 |
| needles | Dr_willis: im setting up my system to how i had it before the upgrade incident | 06:42 |
| Dr_willis | It has java and flash and other brower things i recall also | 06:42 |
| Dr_willis | Xacarith, you could just mount the thing manually | 06:42 |
| Xacarith | daisuke_ido It's formanted in ntfs | 06:43 |
| Xacarith | dr_willis I tried, keep getting error messages | 06:43 |
| Dr_willis | Xacarith, and whats the error message? | 06:43 |
| Xacarith | hal storage fixed mount all options refused uid 1000 is one of them under dolphin | 06:44 |
| Dr_willis | Xacarith, sample fstab engtry for my ntfs drive using ntfs-3g -->> /dev/hda5 /media/winstorage ntfs-3g defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 | 06:44 |
| Dr_willis | Xacarith, and what did you do exactly that gave that error message? | 06:44 |
| Xacarith | Told it to mount the drive | 06:44 |
| Dr_willis | told it HOW. | 06:44 |
| Dr_willis | I am saying Manually Mount them from the shell... | 06:44 |
| Dr_willis | dont use the gui/filemanager tools. thats the 'user' mounting them. Use the konsole and the mount command to mount them. | 06:45 |
| Daisuke_Ido | did you just say "Computer, I'd... like you to mount a hard drive for me." | 06:45 |
| Dr_willis | "Sorry Dave, im afraid i cant do that...." | 06:45 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 06:45 |
| sub[t]rnl | lol | 06:45 |
| Dr_willis | "Mount the Drive Hal!" | 06:46 |
| Xacarith | No, there was a thing that said mount so I licked on it and got an error Now with kde control module I get something about windows.... Hmm... | 06:46 |
| sub[t]rnl | don't lick it! | 06:46 |
| * Xacarith has to try something | 06:46 | |
| Dr_willis | :) | 06:46 |
| dthacker | "Will I dream, Dave?" | 06:46 |
| redoo | hy@all | 06:46 |
| Xacarith | I would never have thought windows being hibernated would mater much | 06:46 |
| ackbahr | Bahh, licking ones screen.... | 06:46 |
| Dr_willis | Xacarith, you set it up to use ntfs-3g? Check the fstab file see if thers an entry for the drive in question. if you know its /dev/NAME | 06:47 |
| Dr_willis | layers of toubleshooting. :) when in doubt fall back to the lower layers. | 06:48 |

| DeadJones | anyone have issues with upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10? its stalled out on me twice now | 06:53 |
| Dr_willis | Night all. | 06:53 |
| tds | DeadJones, It stalled on me once but after a reboot, successfully upgraded. But I was using Gutsy beta | 06:54 |
| DeadJones | so i guess i'll be screwed next time i reboot? | 06:55 |
| DeadJones | i'd really rather avoid a full install. i have things just the way i like them | 06:55 |

| tharun | Hi, is there any way I can recover a bunch of files off of a CD? The CD is readable, but some files are corrupt. These Corrupt files are family photos (.jpgs and .avis) which I want to file using DigiKam. My father decided these can be entrusted to CD-Rs of dubious quality. Now, accessing the files is becoming problematic. I want to get all the files off this "backup solution" ASAP. Please help! | 07:13 |
| tharun | Does anyone know how to recover data from a old CDR? | 07:17 |
| edenbeast | dvdisaster | 07:17 |
| edenbeast | or if it's on certain files only use dd with conv=noerror | 07:18 |
| contrast83 | Gutsy's the first release where I haven't felt a strong compulsion to change the wallpaper and color scheme in the first five minutes of use. | 07:19 |
| * contrast83 applauds the artwork team | 07:19 | |
| edenbeast | like dd if=/path/to/your/file of=/home/mine/output/file.jpg conv=noerror | 07:19 |
| tds | tharun, apt-cache search cd recovery | 07:20 |
| edenbeast | oh and sticking it into the fridge has actually helped for me already so some of those urban myths sometime come true by accident it seems :P | 07:21 |
| tharun | thanks guys, will check back with the results | 07:22 |
| edenbeast | just make sure to do the fridge thing last ;-) | 07:22 |
| tharun | ok... was walking over to the fridge right now as I thought HARDware might help mre than software | 07:23 |
| tharun | :) | 07:24 |
| edenbeast | tharun it must've been something else I used in the past, not dvdisaster I'll check if I can still find it in my bookmarks | 07:24 |
| edenbeast | the dd trick works though I can attest to that since it has saved much data on a few dozens of cds for me :-s | 07:26 |
| crazy_bus | anyone here that can help me get dvb-t to play in kaffeine? | 07:30 |
| Xacarith | Well that fixed one issue.... Though I hate booting into windows. It has a nasty lag on start up with this video card But at least it boots up every time now.... But I still have an issue with linux reading my 80G hdd | 07:35 |
| edenbeast | tharun: this is what I used http://www.gnu.org/software/ddrescue/ddrescue.html and I must say I found this in my bookmarks which may be useful for your purpose but I never used it before so I can't attest to its effectiveness: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec | 07:36 |

| soa2ii | thanks | 08:15 |
| pagan0ne | anyone? | 08:15 |
| Dhraakellian | how would I double check to see what version of Kubuntu I'm running | 08:16 |
| Dhraakellian | ? | 08:16 |
| pagan0ne | Dhraakellian: lsb_release -a | 08:16 |
| pagan0ne | in terminal | 08:16 |
| Dhraakellian | since I just installed (what I thought was) 7.10, and adept upgrade is telling me that "A new distribution version is available!" | 08:16 |
| pagan0ne | Dhraakellian: its a known bug, ignore it | 08:17 |
| Dhraakellian | okay | 08:17 |
| mojo_ | Dhraakellian: ur not alone...;) | 08:17 |
| Dhraakellian | hmm... volume buttons don't work. They didn't work when I installed from the Xubuntu 7.04 alt CD either | 08:18 |
| pagan0ne | anyone have any idea why kwallermanager doesnt work in gutsy after a upgrade from feisty? kopete wont login as kwalletmanager wont provide the keys.... | 08:18 |
| Dhraakellian | they did work when I installed from the Ubuntu 6.04 LiveCD | 08:18 |
| * Dhraakellian wonders why this is | 08:18 | |
| esperegu | is this normal: The application 'DCOPServer' has requested access to the open wallet 'kdewallet' | 08:18 |
| esperegu | ??? | 08:18 |
| Dhraakellian | a difference between Alt and Live? between Ubuntu and the other *buntus? | 08:18 |
| esperegu | Dhraakellian: Alt is only for installinc | 08:19 |
| esperegu | Live you can run from CD. | 08:19 |
| Dhraakellian | esperegu: not what I'm asking | 08:19 |
| esperegu | and it has a desktop item to install | 08:19 |
| ||arifaX | Dhraakellian: the alternate cd has a non graphical installer if you have problem getting the live cd to run and needs less than 320mb ram (for gutsy) | 08:19 |
| esperegu | As far as I know they are the same | 08:19 |
| Dhraakellian | I know that difference | 08:19 |
| Dhraakellian | hmm | 08:20 |
| Dhraakellian | so it's more likely the Ubuntu vs. Kubuntu/Xubuntu difference then? | 08:20 |
| esperegu | yeah. | 08:20 |
| esperegu | they all have there own according programs | 08:20 |
| esperegu | own mediaplayers etc. | 08:20 |
| esperegu | but you can install the one you like using packages | 08:20 |
| esperegu | is this normal: The application 'DCOPServer' has requested access to the open wallet 'kdewallet' ??? | 08:20 |
| esperegu | I get it when I log in. | 08:21 |
| Dhraakellian | expected behavior: Fn+pageup/pagedown changes volume | 08:21 |
| Dhraakellian | (or the buttons on the side of the laptop) | 08:21 |
| Dhraakellian | it worked with Ubuntu 7.04 and then the same installation with Kubuntu-desktop installed | 08:21 |
| Dhraakellian | (and running KDE) | 08:21 |
| * Dhraakellian wonders if installing Ubuntu-desktop would make it work | 08:22 | |
| esperegu | donno | 08:22 |
| pagan0ne | so noone knows why kdewallet would suddenly nolonger work? | 08:22 |
| Dhraakellian | well, it's a fresh install, so I suppose that if I want to install ubuntu-desktop to experiment, there's not much I'd lose by just wiping the installation to get rid of Gnome cleanly | 08:23 |
| esperegu | pagan0ne: it asks for access. | 08:23 |
| esperegu | pagan0ne: shoulf I Allow Always? | 08:23 |
| pagan0ne | esperegu: my kdewallet wont even load, it just is like its not there | 08:23 |
| esperegu | pagan0ne: hmm.. I don't see an icon either. | 08:23 |
| pagan0ne | esperegu: kdewallet stores passwords etc, sensitive info, if your loading a program that you want to have access to those passwords, yes, otherwise, no, dont allow it | 08:23 |
| contrast83 | Is it possible to make APT *always* look in a certain place for a CD-based repository, rather than /media/cdrom exclusively? | 08:24 |
| pagan0ne | well, im gonna try to reboot, need to change kernels anyway, hopefully all will be right in the world when i get back! | 08:24 |
| esperegu | anyone knows what DCOPServer is supposed to do? | 08:28 |
| Jucato | it allows KDE apps to talk to each other through dcop | 08:30 |
| Dhraakellian | esperegu: DCOP is the Desktop COmmunications Protocol, which lets programs integrate talk to each other | 08:30 |
| hangthedj | esperegu, http://www.kde.gr.jp/help/doc/kde-i18n/ja/docs/kdevelop/addendum/HTML/dcop.html | 08:31 |
| Dhraakellian | DCOPServer is what lets them d—ninja'd | 08:31 |
| esperegu | Ok. so it is probably not safe to give it access to the wallet? Or do all programs use it to talk to the walled? | 08:31 |
| edenbeast | esperegu: it'll only be able to use what methods kwallet itself exposes to dcop so there should be no danger there | 08:36 |
| edenbeast | I wish kwallet would be PAMed :-/ | 08:37 |
| esperegu | edenbeast: ok. thx | 08:37 |

| titanix88 | milesg:h did u do that razr stuff?0 | 09:14 |
| MilesG | titanix88: I didnt really put ubuntu on, i did connect to it via moto4lin, removed a lot of the garbage verizon puts on there, and i created a .gif that looks like the ubuntu splash screen | 09:15 |
| hangthedj | Myrth[home], i didn't even know what the command was, i just found it with ps ax}grep power | 09:15 |

| WaltzingAlong | no just the things within the << and >> | 10:15 |
| Selanit | Ah | 10:15 |
| Selanit | Hmm. Check this: | 10:16 |
| Selanit | Kill process 14347 ? (y/N) y | 10:16 |
| Selanit | dpkg: status database area is locked by another process | 10:16 |
| WaltzingAlong | ps aux | grep apt | 10:17 |
| WaltzingAlong | ps aux | grep dpkg | 10:17 |
| jarle | this is why I waited about a week before upgrade to gutsy, I wanted a smooth install, but seems like a week was not enough :) | 10:17 |
| === johan is now known as Alatius2 | ||
| WaltzingAlong | jarle: went smooth for me and i did so a week before | 10:18 |
| Selanit | Interestingly, the process ID that it asks me to kill changes every time I run the fuser -vki command | 10:18 |
| WaltzingAlong | Selanit: seems there may be several apt/dpkg/adept and so on open | 10:19 |
| WaltzingAlong | Selanit: killall appname | 10:19 |
| qwandor | can other people successfully change their desktop background on Kubuntu? | 10:19 |
| WaltzingAlong | qwandor: yes | 10:19 |
| Selanit | ps aux | grep dpkg shows only one process, but every time I kill it, it's still there | 10:19 |
| qwandor | hmm | 10:20 |
| osh_ | RedDevil: Sorry, I was on the phone. | 10:20 |
| hangthedj | qwandor, yes | 10:20 |
| qwandor | I cannot find any bug reports either | 10:20 |
| osh_ | RedDevil: I'm trying to connect to a windows printer in our AD but when I connect (smb://ad-name.domain.com) no printers show up, only folders and machines. | 10:21 |
| === johan is now known as Alatius3 | ||
| hangthedj | If you can't find anything and nothing is working, file a bug report, with your system information, and whats happening. | 10:21 |
| jarle | WaltzingAlong: I experience the same problem: "dpkg: status database area is locked by another process" | 10:21 |
| osh_ | RedDevil: Do you have any idea on how to connect to a printer that's been setup like that? | 10:21 |
| Selanit | jarle: what happens when you sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a ...? | 10:22 |
| * contrast83_ chuckles at the irony of typing "exec killall -1 katapult" into Katapult. | 10:22 | |
| jarle | WaltzingAlong: Thats when I get: "dpkg: status database area is locked by another process" | 10:23 |
| hangthedj | is adept running? ps ax|grep adept? | 10:23 |
| Jucato | contrast83_: um.. why? (aside from the irony?) | 10:23 |
| WaltzingAlong | jarle: because of the second part, dpkg --configure | 10:23 |
| qwandor | does anybody know what [$d] does in a kde config file? | 10:23 |
| qwandor | I know that [$i] prevents the option from being changed | 10:24 |
| jarle | I seem to have a lot of "usr/bin/python /tmp/kde-root/adept_manager6ANQya.tmp-extract/dist-upgrade.py --frontend DistUpgradeViewKDE --have-prerequists --with-network" running, better kill them and try again I guess.. | 10:24 |
| WaltzingAlong | try fuser -v /var/lib/dpkg/lock get just one process using it? | 10:25 |
| Selanit | I too have multiple adept processes running. I suspect that those are still active, and that every time I kill a dpkg process, they immediately spawn another one | 10:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | do you also have the python script running dist-upgrade.py ? | 10:27 |
| jarle | WaltzingAlong: this does not return anything... | 10:28 |
| jarle | WaltzingAlong: yes | 10:28 |
| Selanit | Ahhhh | 10:28 |
| Selanit | I managed to kill all the adept processes, which were actually python scripts that Adept spawned | 10:28 |
| Selanit | And now I can use apt again | 10:28 |
| Selanit | jarle, try sudo killall python (assuming that you don't have any other critical python scripts running) | 10:29 |

| Selanit | Okay, now that I've got my apt back I'm not sure how to recover. If I sudo apt-get -f install, it lists off a ton of things to install to correct unmet dependencies of existing packages. Do I do that? | 10:36 |
| WaltzingAlong | Selanit: yes. you could also do sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade (or sudo aptitude -f install) and even after the -f install you will want to run a dist-upgrade | 10:37 |
| TimS | LOL According to the malware alarm I have Trojans and Backdoor viruses and 26 peices of malware XD | 10:38 |
| Selanit | righto. -f install and then a dist-upgrade | 10:38 |
| Selanit | Sigh | 10:38 |

| WaltzingAlong | so help everyone you know get to gnu/linux based distros like kubuntu; not only installing but also some walkthroughs of where things are. one of my clients kept asking for weeks where "C:\" was and the letters of the removable media (digital cameras and such); as i mentioned, after a few days with it the kubuntu way, it was much nice and easier than remembering an arcane drive letter | 10:41 |
| contrast83 | ^ +1 | 10:43 |
| emilsedgh | ^ -1 | 10:43 |
| contrast83 | I cringe everytime I have to navigate through the filesystem (to use the term loosely) on a Windows system. | 10:43 |
| Selanit | I intend to plug Ubuntu at the end of the term as a great way for my students to continue studying web development on their own. | 10:44 |
| contrast83 | What's crazy is I used Windows for 10 years. I've used Linux for 1, and I'm already much more comfortable in it. | 10:44 |
| contrast83 | Selanit: Do you show them Quanta? | 10:45 |
| contrast83 | I hear that's one of the best Linux apps for web development. | 10:45 |
| Selanit | I teach them hand coding using very basic text editors, because that's the best way to really grok HTML and CSS. Then later on, once they've got a solid understanding of the code, they can go use more powerful programs. | 10:45 |
| WaltzingAlong | contrast83: while ms windows *may be* easier to start, there is certainly a peak which is reached rather quickly. with gnu/linux based distros like kubuntu that easier to start is not an ms windows only (or not a what we have been using for the last 10 years only) quality, but the level of knowledge and capacity to learn more and do more is bounds higher | 10:46 |
| contrast83 | Agreed, I think. :-) | 10:47 |
| Selanit | Hmm. My Firefox just crashed. Perhaps it was unwise to try opening a new page in the middle of a dist-upgrade | 10:47 |
| contrast83 | I dunno. I think things in Linux tend to follow a very clean logic. How quickly you take to it over Windows, or vice versa, just depends on how logical a person you are. :-P | 10:49 |
| Hamra | hi all, i always believed that learning to use the computer is done by practice and trial & error, but unfortunatly this consumes time, my knowledge in windows comes from the fact that ive been using it for a decade, but i only installed linux 2 weeks ago, is there any guide to speed up this learning process? | 10:52 |
| Selanit | Crud - the dist-upgrade got a long way in and then exited with an error code | 10:53 |
| WaltzingAlong | Hamra: what would you like to do with your gnu/linux installation? | 10:53 |
| jimmydee | Hamra: crystal meth and no sleep | 10:53 |

| sub[t]rnl | heh | 10:54 |
| WaltzingAlong | Hamra: check the manuals. in a !terminal, man <appname> | 10:54 |
| Hamra | nothing specific, in general, the common stuff | 10:54 |
| jimmydee | yeah, read the man man | 10:54 |
| contrast83 | Blah | 10:54 |
| Selanit | I think New Riders Press has published a couple books introducing Ubuntu | 10:54 |
| sub[t]rnl | hang around here long enough and you'll pick up a thing or two | 10:54 |
| WaltzingAlong | Hamra: like check email and surf the web? | 10:54 |
| WaltzingAlong | try something, when it does not work use the available tools (start with the logs!) to diagnose what happened | 10:55 |
| sub[t]rnl | WaltzingAlong: got nmap on your box? | 10:56 |
| Hamra | thnx a lot, maybe i should start reading man | 10:56 |
| WaltzingAlong | sub[t]rnl: yes | 10:56 |
| toby | Any clue yet when Gutsy is going to get moved into the standard repositories? Currently it's only installable via Adept if you enable the "Pre-released updates" repo. | 10:56 |
| sub[t]rnl | Hamra: yeah, just read whatever you come across | 10:56 |

| acey | lol i didn't know if anyone was one, whats the equivalent in KDE to th gconf-editor? | 11:02 |
| Jucato | nothing. you don't need it :D | 11:03 |
| toby | Jucato: I think we're at crossed purposes here :) I want to upgrade from Kubuntu Feisty to Gutsy using Adept. With the standard repos enabled the update isn't made available. You have to enable "PreReleased updates" as per instructions at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/7.10-release.php | 11:03 |
| jimmydee | acey: kate | 11:03 |
| Jucato | jimmydee: almost all (almost) available options for KDE and apps are in configuration dialog boxes | 11:03 |

| Jucato | acey: almost all (almost) available options for KDE and apps are in configuration dialog boxes | 11:03 |
| Jucato | jimmydee: you have no idea what gconf-editor is do you? :) | 11:03 |
| acey | yea I do I installed it it because someone told me I need it to make the shortcuts appear on my desktop | 11:04 |
| Jucato | toby: yes. that doesn't mean gutsy isn't on the standard repos. | 11:04 |
| jimmydee | I got it screwed up with gedit | 11:04 |
| jimmydee | I'm tired leave me alone | 11:04 |
| acey | like make the Home and trash bin shortcuts appear on my desktop | 11:04 |
| * Jucato leaves jimmydee alone w/ a cookie | 11:04 | |
| Jucato | acey: that's on GNOME. not on KDE | 11:04 |

| Jucato | of course you can | 11:04 |
| acey | well can you please tell me how? lol | 11:04 |
| qwandor | acey: just right click on the desktop, configure, behaviour | 11:05 |
| qwandor | tick 'show icons on desktop' | 11:05 |

| qwandor | if you want to add new icons, the easiest may be to drag icons from e.g. the panel and select copy | 11:06 |
| Jucato | toby: the Pre-released updates that you enable is to upgrade Adept on feisty to a version that supports the upgrade to Gutsy feature | 11:06 |
| qwandor | or what Jucato said | 11:06 |
| Jucato | if the icons are on the said panel already :) | 11:06 |
| qwandor | yes | 11:06 |

| epimeth | Jucato: you checked out kde4 yet? | 11:07 |
| qwandor | ok, never mind then | 11:07 |
| acey | Ok so how do I make a icon with the home shortcut? | 11:07 |
| WaltzingAlong | toby: you can merely change the entries in your sources.list file from feisty to gutsy then sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade but the adept updater tool is meant to assure a cleaner upgrade | 11:07 |
| acey | Because it made an icon with the trash bin shortcut I made just not with the home | 11:07 |
| Selanit | Oo, I think it's done. I'd better log out, restart X, and log back in to see if things are working. | 11:08 |
| Jucato | acey: right-click on the icon -> PRoperties -> click on the icon in the box and search for Home | 11:08 |
| toby | Jucato: This page https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KubuntuGutsyComments says that enabling pre-released updates will not be required "in about a week" which, from the date that comment was made, is about now. | 11:08 |

| epimeth | Jucato: nothing in the wiki about kde4 in gutsy... where is this topic discussion you're talking about? :-) | 11:26 |
| Jucato | (lsb_release just prints out /etc/lsb-release in a nice way) | 11:26 |

| tysonsw | can someone plz help me.. I have lost ALL my network mapping.. I cant se any wireless nor se if there are any connection with cable.. what have changhed that shoulden't be changed? | 11:32 |
| qwandor | mefisto__: symlinks are _symbolic_ links so just give the path of some file that they are pointing to | 11:32 |
| M_A_K | OK, brb | 11:32 |
| qwandor | mefisto__: depending on what you are trying to acheive, you may want to use hardlinks etc. | 11:32 |
| patrick_ | douglas: it works with ctrl alt +(num pad). But now I'm on a laptop... do you know what it is there? | 11:32 |
| douglas | same?? | 11:33 |

| epimeth | tysonsw: where's the link? | 11:37 |

| jeroen__ | Hi | 13:08 |
| WaltzingAlong | jarle: Dynamic MMap ran out of room ! add an option to the apt.conf file kdesu kate /etc/apt/apt.conf and enter there APT::Cache-Limit "33554432"; then save the file, try sudo aptitude -f install again | 13:08 |
| WaltzingAlong | TheFuzzball: using the prefix i suppose. check http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4 | 13:09 |
| jeroen__ | I've got a questio. I've heard something about a 3D interface for ubuntu. WHat's true about this? | 13:09 |
| * emilsedgh hears about going to space by ubuntu | 13:10 | |
| WaltzingAlong | jeroen__: you may be referring to compiz-fusion shipping by default with ubuntu 7.10; try !compiz or #ubuntu or #compiz-fusion | 13:11 |
| jarle | WaltzingAlong: Does this look safe to do? http://www.pastebin.ca/747844 | 13:15 |
| WaltzingAlong | jarle: ok so you can cancel that, instead running sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 13:16 |
| WaltzingAlong | jarle: (or first run sudo aptitude -f install and then run sudo aptitude dist-upgrade | 13:16 |

| werty | :) | 13:56 |
| Jucato | yes | 13:56 |
| werty | how? | 13:56 |
| Jucato | http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/index.php see the Pure KDE and Pure GNOME guides | 13:56 |

| * Jucato sips a cup | 13:57 | |
| * Jucato munches it rather | 13:57 | |
| stdin | Jucato: haven't you seen !purekde ? | 13:57 |

| Jucato | ubotu: tell Jucato about purekde | 13:57 |
| Jucato | bleh | 13:57 |
| werty | about firefox vs konqueror what do you think/ | 13:59 |
| werty | ? | 13:59 |
| Jucato | !best | werty | 13:59 |
| ubotu | werty: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. | 13:59 |
| stdin | try both, see what you like | 13:59 |
| genii | werty: I like Konqueror for a file browser. Firefox not so much | 14:00 |
| Jucato | my personal opinion would be.... | 14:00 |
| * WaltzingAlong has not thought much of firefox as a file browser either | 14:00 | |
| Jucato | "try both, see what you like" and use what you need or fits your situation | 14:00 |
| genii | WaltzingAlong: :) | 14:00 |
| Shapeshifter | How can I get konqueror to remeber my last setup (tree, panes) & location? | 14:00 |
| Jucato | you definitely haven't tried it on *dows... | 14:00 |
| Jucato | Shapeshifter: Settings -> Save View Profile | 14:00 |
| Shapeshifter | Jucato: But it can't just remember the state it had when I closed it last time?? | 14:01 |
| Jucato | well... | 14:01 |
| Jucato | actually... | 14:01 |
| Jucato | (it can, but Kubuntu's modification of the Konqueror menus kinda make it difficult to do) | 14:02 |
| Shapeshifter | Jucato: I'm on gnome, only using Konqueror | 14:02 |
| ricercia | i tend to find firefox has better site compatibilkty due to it's popularity | 14:03 |
| Jucato | Shapeshifter: but Kubuntu's Konqueror right? | 14:03 |
| Lacrymology | kde stopped starting.... I get to the kdm screen, enter username and password and then blackscreen and back to the username-password window again | 14:03 |
| Shapeshifter | Jucato: Well I'm not sure, I just did apt-get install konqueror and it installed a bunch of dependencies. | 14:03 |
| vti | I much prefer konqueror to firefox any day.. but yes.. some sites work better in firefox. there is an "open with firefox" menu item in konqueror if you come across a page like that, but it is pretty rare. | 14:03 |
| bottiger | If I want to install GIMP 2.4 - should I grap the Debian-package or compile it from the source? | 14:03 |
| Jucato | Shapeshifter: yep. if you're on Ubuntu, then that;s the case | 14:04 |
| bottiger | http://next.gimp.org/unix/ | 14:04 |
| bottiger | (ubuntu dosn't have it in their repository yet) | 14:04 |
| * Jucato would probably compile from source rather than get a package made specifically for Debian.... | 14:04 | |
| Shapeshifter | Jucato: So getting a normal Konqueror would be to complicated I guess | 14:04 |
| [ifr0g] | hi, When i play anything with mplayer i get a blueseen.. | 14:05 |
| Jucato | Shapeshifter: not too complicated: http://www.kubuntu.org/faq.php#konqueror | 14:06 |

| [ifr0g] | sorry a green scrabled screen | 14:06 |
| WaltzingAlong | Lacrymology: the nvidia splash screen would work only with the nvidia driver and when the option to not show it is missing | 14:07 |
| ricercia | Lacrymology: nv is the open-source driver (no splash) if u want to use offical nvidia driver use nvidia | 14:07 |
| bottiger | WaltzingAlong: yes - that's RC3 - over a month old :) | 14:07 |
| WaltzingAlong | bottiger: luckily not always is age such a bad thing, otherwise i may be tossed out on the street now, being at least 300 months old | 14:08 |

| Jucato | Shapeshifter: weird indeed.... | 14:09 |
| Shapeshifter | but Konqueror ist still the same. where should I be able to configure that "remember" thing? | 14:09 |
| Jucato | in the Settings menu -> Save View Change per Folder | 14:09 |
| bottiger | WaltzingAlong: but you are missing the point :P 2.4 Final is out - I want to test it | 14:09 |
| Shapeshifter | Jucato: mh, it's greyd out | 14:10 |
| Jucato | restart Konqueror | 14:10 |
| WaltzingAlong | bottiger: perhaps build it from source or find an ubuntu specific build (ymmv with the for debian build) | 14:10 |
| Shapeshifter | Jucato: did so | 14:10 |
| Jucato | weird... | 14:10 |
| Shapeshifter | Jucato: mh, now it worked... Had to change the current folder. | 14:11 |
| Shapeshifter | Jucato: But it's still not working. I mean I would like Konqueror to be the same when I open it as it was when I closed it, say 5 minutes ago, or 4 months. It should just open the location I was last time and the view there. save per folder sounds like it remembers layouts for folders, that's not really what I mean | 14:13 |
| WaltzingAlong | Shapeshifter: kind of a 'session' to be restored from where you last were, like opera can do or kde with open windows | 14:14 |
| Shapeshifter | WaltzingAlong: Yes exactly, firefox can do it as well. Even Windows XP can do it with opened windows when it was shutdown ^^ | 14:15 |
| WaltzingAlong | Shapeshifter: i do not know of that feature in konqueror or how to enable it if it is there | 14:17 |

| genii | Vermux: You open the file /etc/apt/sources.list with admin privelege so you can save it. Usually alt-f2 then kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list works for this. then you add ad the bottom of the file a line with deb followed by the url you want to add as a repository. then you save it. then you open your package manager and it should update the list and give you options to install whatever is in the new repo as well as the ones you | 15:33 |

| genii | cyrex: Perhaps on the ubuntu wiki | 16:06 |

| genii | bottiger: You could delete the ~/.kde dir and it will re-create with default values next load | 16:07 |
| WaltzingAlong | in a way i am glad, it becomes a learning opportunity; so you followed the instructions at http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu | 16:07 |

| bottiger | Daisuke_Laptop: I didn't miss that part:) | 16:08 |
| WaltzingAlong | xsacha: i guess my point is just that this a known working solution | 16:08 |

| xsacha | copy/paste ftw | 16:12 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | WaltzingAlong: that seems to be a common train of thought for new linux users :) | 16:12 |
| genii | bottiger: There is a manual way also, described here: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase/faq/panel.html#id2552525 | 16:13 |
| genii | Just for general info | 16:13 |
| WaltzingAlong | Daisuke_Laptop: in my experience is it more general than just new gnu/linux users | 16:13 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | the reason i say new is that an experienced user generally doesn't blame others for a broken system, knowing it's likely something he did | 16:14 |
| xsacha | WaltzingAlong: is it hard to uninstall if i dont use a package. or.. can i risk it? | 16:14 |
| WaltzingAlong | xsacha: then the package managers cannot help you, sure; though certainly it is possible to remove; about risking it, you were the one wanting v8.42 rather than the repos 8.37 | 16:15 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | i'm guessing this is about ati drivers? | 16:16 |
| xsacha | the repos 8.37 doesnt work for me | 16:16 |

| benoyst | hello guys | 16:46 |
| MGalaxy | hello, what is differnece between normal Kubuntu and ALTERNATE Kubuntu ? | 16:46 |
| sam64 | I remember setting it to order them like that back in breezy though | 16:47 |
| sam64 | MGalaxy: I chose alternate assuming it was a live cd | 16:47 |
| Jucato | MGalaxy: "normal" Kubuntu = Desktop CD is a Live CD + basic graphical installer | 16:47 |
| Jucato | Alternate Install CD = text based installer with more options (no live cd) | 16:48 |
| sam64 | maybe it wasnt alternate I took then | 16:48 |
| sam64 | I thought it was :\ | 16:48 |
| MGalaxy | thx all | 16:49 |

| atlfalcons866 | is kde4 going to be in hardy | 16:54 |
| Jucato | no | 16:54 |
| atlfalcons866 | why | 16:54 |
| atlfalcons866 | kde4 will be released in december | 16:54 |
| xsacha | have you had a look at kde4? | 16:54 |
| Jucato | because hardy is an LTS release. we will be using super stable software | 16:54 |
| atlfalcons866 | =( | 16:55 |
| xsacha | it's not the sort of thing they want in a long term ubuntu | 16:55 |
| xsacha | maybe 4.1 or 4.2 will be better | 16:55 |
| Jucato | kde 4.0 does not promise to meet that requirement. | 16:55 |
| atlfalcons866 | then why is the latest gnome in every new release | 16:55 |
| xsacha | it'll definitely be in the repos though (as it is in kubuntu gutsy). and you can run it is a nested x server if you want to test it before taking the plunge | 16:55 |
| Jucato | atlfalcons866: you're comparing a jump from GNOME 2.18 to 2.20 to a jump from KDE 3.5.8 to KDE 4.0 | 16:56 |
| xsacha | atlfalcons866: the newest kde is also in every new release. i.e. 3.5.7 3.5.8 ... | 16:56 |
| Jucato | kinda big jump | 16:56 |
| atlfalcons866 | I dont want to risk breaking my kubuntu install and waiting 4 hours to upgrade from edgy to feisty to gutsy | 16:56 |
| ubuntu__ | espanha?? | 16:56 |
| xsacha | also, when gnome 3.0 is released. it would probably be 10x stabler in alpha than kde4 is right now in beta 3 | 16:56 |

| atlfalcons866 | gnome is annoying and too simple | 16:57 |
| sam64 | you cant do anything in gnome.. its like clay vs a rock | 16:57 |
| atlfalcons866 | is 512mb ram enough to run kde4 | 16:58 |
| xsacha | atlfalcons866: yes | 16:58 |
| Jucato | sure. but not right now | 16:58 |
| xsacha | oh, well, right now it has all the debug code to slow it down. | 16:58 |
| Jucato | most builds are built w/ debugging info (making it slower) | 16:58 |
| atlfalcons866 | is that still a lot these days | 16:58 |
| xsacha | 512 is still a lot in linux | 16:59 |
| atlfalcons866 | in windows vista its like having 32mb ram | 16:59 |
| xsacha | atlfalcons866: kde4 is meant to use less RAM than kde3 (because Qt4 is less of a memory hog?). not sure how it will turn out though | 17:00 |
| atlfalcons866 | ok | 17:00 |
| xsacha | wont know until release. (if they remove debug code for release ;) they might want to leave it in) | 17:00 |
| atlfalcons866 | i love how kubuntu is released twice a year windows only gets new releases twice a year | 17:01 |

| jarle | trying to boot after upgrade to gutsy I keep getting a lot of "device-mapper: table: 254:4: linear: dm-linear: Device lookup failed." This keeps scrolling over the screen in all my tty's! | 17:02 |
| xsacha | twice a year? cool | 17:02 |
| atlfalcons866 | i meant windows gets 2 new releases twice a decade | 17:02 |
| xsacha | as in xp,vista,7 or xp,server,server,vista,server,server,7? | 17:02 |
| sam64 | actually it does get small update about twice a year | 17:02 |
| xsacha | there's big gap between releases for xp and vista | 17:02 |
| jarle | I had to boot into failsafe and can't start firefox to google for a solution so please anybody help me... | 17:02 |
| xsacha | oh you mean SPs | 17:03 |
| atlfalcons866 | jarle: in failsafe mode you cant run graphical programs | 17:03 |
| sam64 | no - service packs get released about every 2 years | 17:03 |
| sam64 | and usually do more bad than good | 17:04 |
| jarle | atlfalcon: I succeeded in starting xchat.. | 17:04 |

| amigrave | when I try to upgrade to feisty via "Version Upgrade" I follow instructions to a dialog box where I can click on "Start Upgrade" button. THen the dialog box closes and nothing happens after that. Is there a logfile somewhere so I can check why it fails to upgrade ? | 17:07 |

| vbgunz | anyone know what could prevent some contacts in an ldif file from being imported into kontact? | 17:13 |
| brauerle | BluesKaj: thx | 17:13 |
| BluesKaj | vbgunz, I got that same error , but it still imported the file ...check the address book again | 17:14 |
| vbgunz | BluesKaj: I did, I do not see some contacts. i exported these contacts from thunderbird :/ | 17:14 |
| BluesKaj | vbgunz, import the t-bird addressbook to your /home/usr file first then into kmail from there | 17:16 |
| vbgunz | BluesKaj: not sure what you mean there :( | 17:16 |
| vbgunz | I exported my thunderbird contacts to my desktop | 17:17 |
| vbgunz | I then imported the ldif file thunderbird made into kontact | 17:17 |
| vbgunz | kontact got a bunch of imports but I do not see some contacts... some are just not getting imported :/ | 17:18 |
| vbgunz | if they're there, I am not seeing them :| | 17:18 |

| mefisto__ | vbgunz: look at the ldif file and see if there's anything about the missing contacts that is different. eg are there some blank fields in the missing contacts | 17:21 |
| stamen | how to fix it | 17:21 |
| edenbeast | #ubuntu-classroom-chat | 17:22 |
| edenbeast | oops sorry :-/ | 17:22 |
| vbgunz | mefisto__: yeah, I checked out the ldif, don't see nothing unusual, will check again | 17:22 |
| vbgunz | yeah, I cannot figure it out :( | 17:24 |
| === zac is now known as Zigonick | ||
| mefisto__ | is it a specific thunderbird import, or generic ldif import? | 17:24 |
| poison---- | i guet image corruption while playing dvds or mpeg | 17:25 |
| vbgunz | mefisto__: I exported directly from thunderbird | 17:25 |
| Zigonick | I got Kubuntu and the Ubuntu install cd, is there a way to get all the apps off the ubuntu cd installed? Seems like it comes with more (IE Firefox, as am on dailup so downloading all them apps would be really slow) | 17:26 |
| mefisto__ | vbgunz: yes but is the import specially for thunderbird addressbook, or any ldif? | 17:26 |
| RCG1984 | hello all, I need some sort of http plugin inorder to run shoutcast streams on any media client. Does anyone know what plugin the programs are refering too? | 17:26 |
| taylan | Hi all I have kubuntu gutsy and I am looking for a partion imaging tool do you know a program with a gui | 17:27 |
| vbgunz | mefisto__: not sure. the thunderbird file that was exported is in ldif format. thunderbird doesn't offer any more options that that :( | 17:27 |
| vbgunz | and kontact cannot import directly from thunderbird format | 17:27 |
| mefisto__ | vbgunz: so contact has a "import ldif" or "import thunderbird ldif" ? | 17:28 |
| RCG1984 | taylan: take a look at QTparted | 17:28 |
| taylan | thx | 17:28 |
| RCG1984 | n/p | 17:28 |
| vbgunz | mefisto__: kontact has nothing to do with thunderbird. ldif and several other formats but nothing thunderbird... ant thunderbird offers no option to export in any format except for ldif | 17:29 |
| vbgunz | looking at the raw ldif file, i can see nothing wrong with the contacts that were not imported | 17:30 |
| mefisto__ | vbgunz: I think thunderbird also exports .csv and .txt formats | 17:30 |
| brauerle | when apt donloads packages and unzips them - to which folder will these packages been unzipped? Is it /tmp? | 17:31 |
| BluesKaj | vbgunz, ldif works on kmail | 17:31 |
| vbgunz | this is the latest contact as per gutsy | 17:31 |
| vbgunz | kontact* | 17:31 |
| vbgunz | thunderbird addressbook offers no options to export in any other format :( | 17:32 |

| atlfalcons866 | is there a faster filesystem than ext3? | 17:48 |
| fkm | Is here someone who _likes_ Dolphin? | 17:49 |
| fkm | And I'm talking about the Dolphin from Kubuntu Gutsy. Not the one from KDE4! | 17:50 |
| atlfalcons866 | fkm: dolphin is buggy | 17:50 |
| fkm | That may be. But after googlin' I couldn't find someone posting who actually likes and uses Dolphin. Just people who say that there are people who like it... | 17:51 |
| atlfalcons866 | konqueror is way better atm | 17:51 |
| mefisto__ | I like dolphin | 17:51 |
| fkm | So I'm eager to find someone who actually likes Dolphin | 17:51 |
| Firetech | hmm. When I hold my mouse over the clock in kicker (with "mouse over effects" enabled), kicker suddenly starts to use 100% CPU and doesn't update the "tool tip", which it did before. (also, kicker updates begin to lag a bit.) Only me? What can be the cause? | 17:51 |
| fkm | That's a start :D mefisto__, Do you use Dolphin from Gutsy or KDE4? | 17:51 |
| CapaH | Question, I am now running -- apt-get install kubuntu-desktop (from ubuntu) --- my question is, does Kubuntu have Compiz enabled by default or is there additional setup I have to do? | 17:52 |
| mefisto__ | fkm: I'm still using feisty. I'm using d3lphin atm, slightly improved dolphin | 17:52 |
| fkm | Firetech, I don't have this problem here on Kubuntu Feisty. Give me a minute and I'll tell you how it's behaving on the Laptop with Kubuntu Gutsy | 17:52 |
| fkm | mefisto__, Ok. I'll give d3lphin a try :) Thank you :) | 17:53 |
| mefisto__ | fkm: it's not that different. It has 2 sidebars, and is a little less buggy | 17:54 |
| Firetech | fkm: I've got two computers with gutsy, haven't tried/noticed it on the other one. However, in feisty and before, all it did on this computer was to increase the CPU usage a little bit (it's a bad computer)... | 17:54 |
| === andrea_ is now known as ndrea | ||
| fkm | mefisto__, Well. I'll go great lengths to prove myself that my oppinion about Dolphin is wrong as I - at first - wasn't a fan of Konqueror and now I'm loving it :D | 17:55 |
| Firetech | mefisto__: as far as I know, the dolphin in gutsy is actually a renamed d3lphin :S | 17:55 |
| fkm | Firetech, On Gutsy aswell as Feisty the tooltip is updated (activated the seconds for that) and the CPU rests at about 2% | 17:55 |
| mefisto__ | Firetech: I think you're right, just a newer dolphin for feisty | 17:55 |
| fabio_elio_tonti | is this the place to ask stupid questions? | 17:56 |
| fkm | fabio_elio_tonti, There are (almost) no stupid questions | 17:56 |
| mefisto__ | stupid kubuntu questions | 17:56 |
| fkm | :) | 17:56 |
| Firetech | fkm: as I thought... what can be the cause? I don't run Compiz, and all the other tool tips animate fine. | 17:57 |
| vbgunz | this is quite frustrating. konqueror cannot find http://vim.org but it can find http://www.vim.org | 17:57 |
| vbgunz | why? | 17:57 |
| coreymon77 | vbgunz: why not use firefox? | 17:57 |
| fabio_elio_tonti | thanks | 17:57 |
| fabio_elio_tonti | I know | 17:57 |
| Firetech | vbgunz: that's why I use Firefox/Vimperator ;) | 17:57 |
| fabio_elio_tonti | but you know what I mean | 17:57 |
| fkm | Firetech, I got no idea, sorry. But if I stumble upon a solution. I'll let you know | 17:57 |
| Firetech | fkm: thanks :) | 17:58 |
| fabio_elio_tonti | so I've heard that ubuntu's got a gui to configure xorg.conf (especially for dual screens) | 17:58 |
| vbgunz | coreymon77: I don't know. I do use it for things like the web developer toolbar and firebug but other than that, I use konqueror | 17:58 |
| vbgunz | Firetech: vimperator? | 17:58 |
| fabio_elio_tonti | does that work with kubuntu too? | 17:58 |
| Firetech | vbgunz: http://vimperator.mozdev.org | 17:58 |
| fabio_elio_tonti | anyone? | 17:59 |
| Firetech | fabio_elio_tonti: kubuntu has it's own xorg config | 17:59 |
| fkm | Well. There are the "Display Settings" that modify the xorg.conf. | 17:59 |
| fkm | But I don't trust these applications | 17:59 |
| Firetech | "Monitor and display" in System Settings | 18:00 |
| fkm | I rather modify the file myself. Gives me much cleaner results too ;) | 18:00 |
| vbgunz | Firetech: heh, thats going a lil far :) | 18:00 |
| Firetech | vbgunz: nah, I'm still using Firefox normally, but vimperator adds a useful "surf without mouse" mode ;) | 18:00 |
| Firetech | not tabbing through the whole page, that is | 18:01 |
| vbgunz | I just don't get why konqueror has trouble without the www. in some instances | 18:01 |
| The_Machine | really quick - before when konqueror was the default file manager, i could right click and select Move To, and be able to browse the file system and drop it. | 18:01 |
| The_Machine | How can i do that w/ Dolphin? | 18:01 |
| vbgunz | that was a problem solved in 95 no? | 18:01 |
| The_Machine | ) | 18:01 |
| ice9__ | trying to upgade to 7.10 using adept manager but the software sources window doesn't come up | 18:01 |
| Firetech | vbgunz: because it doesn't have the code firefox has ;) | 18:01 |
| fkm | lol, Firetech, the VIMperator sound like a funny idea :D *downloading* :o | 18:02 |
| Firetech | vbgunz: the times it works, is when the server is responding without "www." too. | 18:02 |
| ice9__ | I do have software-propertes-kde installed | 18:02 |
| ice9__ | too | 18:02 |
| Firetech | vbgunz: firefox is just a little smarter | 18:02 |
| Macris | anyone noticed that forcemonitors fglrx command in xorg.conf gives a black screen when kdm should be | 18:07 |
| Macris | i have been messing around and trying to figure why does not fglrx work for me in gutsy as it did in feisty, and i finally got it to work after removing forcemonitors line from xorg.conf | 18:08 |
| sven_ | Is the adept-manager still alpha version?? I have used it in kubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 and it crashes about.. 40% of the times I use it :( from the other 60% left, I have about 40% problems.. like me selecting software, trying to install it, it downloads 30 mins and _then_ it tells me there is a version conflict or so.. :( | 18:08 |
| fabio_elio_tonti | Firetech what do you mean by "it has it's own"? | 18:08 |
| Jucato | sven_: you could say that it's a funky version :) | 18:08 |
| Jucato | a *very* funky version :) | 18:09 |
| Firetech | fabio_elio_tonti: 19:00:04 <Firetech> "Monitor and display" in System Settings | 18:09 |
| fabio_elio_tonti | thanks | 18:10 |
| sven_ | Jucato, Is there a "stable" version of software that can give similar functionality? Or is there any view on a stable version of adept? I mean, nofi! Its a great piece of software! when it works... | 18:11 |
| Jucato | sven_: I wish I could tell you there was one :) | 18:11 |
| Jucato | unless you're willing to install Synaptic, a non-KDE app... but you'll lose the update notification in the system tray | 18:11 |
| sven_ | Jucato, If they really want more ppl to use KDE.. I mean, adept will be about the piece of software they want to use to install more things.. if that keeps crashing in their face, they won't really be happy with it.. | 18:12 |
| Jucato | sven_: 1) Adept is not made by the KDE project. 2) KPackage is the first and last "official" package manager KDE really had | 18:12 |
| vbgunz | for some reason, gutsy does not ntoify me of new updates anymore | 18:12 |
| coreymon77 | one thing i do agree about is that adept has its problems | 18:12 |
| vbgunz | I just happen to check with sudo apt-get update and find updates | 18:12 |
| coreymon77 | thats why i just command line apt it | 18:12 |
| sven_ | Jucato, but KPackage, thats the "Add / remove programs" thing, right? | 18:13 |
| Jucato | no | 18:13 |
| Jucato | that's still Adept (Adept Installer) | 18:13 |
| sven_ | Jucato, will kpackage give the same functionality then? :S | 18:13 |
| coreymon77 | sven_: NO | 18:14 |
| sven_ | same as adept that is? | 18:14 |
| coreymon77 | SORRY | 18:14 |
| coreymon77 | didnt know caps was on | 18:14 |
| Jucato | sven_: no | 18:14 |
| sven_ | coreymon77, it was a clear no al the same :) | 18:14 |
| coreymon77 | accidentally pressed caps instead of shift | 18:14 |
| Jucato | adept is currently the only actively maintained KDE package manager for Debian systems | 18:14 |
| coreymon77 | and kpkg was never redone to work without root | 18:14 |
| coreymon77 | thats why kde never worked on ubuntu until kubuntu came | 18:15 |
| sven_ | Jucato, Then I hope they will fix these many bugs in it.. its rare that I use adept without seeing any sort of problem | 18:15 |
| === paolo is now known as fic0 | ||
| Jucato | sven_: you and me both.. but ... | 18:15 |
| Jucato | oh well | 18:15 |

| === fic0 is now known as fic01 | ||
| sven_ | coreymon77, again, NOFI, I think adept is great.. it just needs some ironing.. | 18:15 |
| coreymon77 | nofi? | 18:16 |
| sven_ | coreymon77, Jucato Where could I report adept bugs? | 18:16 |
| sven_ | I have quite a nice list for them, it may help | 18:16 |
| Jucato | bugs.launchpad.net | 18:16 |
| Jucato | sven_: please check if they have not been reported yet | 18:16 |
| Jucato | I'm pretty sure they have :P | 18:16 |
| sven_ | Jucato, I have so many to report that I might bring in something new :) | 18:18 |
| Jucato | just double check please? | 18:18 |
| aguitel_ | anyone use chipset Realtek rtl8180L because is not working in gutsy ? | 18:18 |
| Jucato | make it easier for me | 18:18 |
| Jucato | :P | 18:18 |
| sven_ | Jucato, in any case, its weird.. its like, adept is what the people will use to install software, and its really buggy.. kde or not, its what people will use to judge kde anyway.. | 18:19 |
| Jucato | sven_: although it's not really *that* buggy... you make it sound that it's 100% unusable :) | 18:19 |
| sven_ | Jucato, makes it easier for you if I double check? you mean you are a developer? | 18:19 |
| sven_ | Jucato, no no.. its IS usable :) | 18:19 |
| Jucato | make it easier for me to triage the bugs, filter those that can be done, forward them to the devs, or maybe work on some of them | 18:19 |
| sven_ | Jucato, its just anoying at times, specially if you select like 20 packages.. (yeah yeah, sometimes I feel like Im a kid in a toy store) | 18:20 |
| coreymon77 | sven_: and yes, jucato is a developer | 18:20 |

| coreymon77 | Jucato: not meaning to speak for you | 18:20 |
| Jucato | it's ok :) | 18:20 |
| sven_ | Jucato, actually.. maybe a suggestion that might be nice: Remeber the selected packages in case of a "cant install beacause of dep problems" or a crash.. that would save a lot of time having to select these pacakges again :) | 18:21 |
| Jucato | I've been wanting to have a sort of feature like that in Adept... Synaptic has one iirc | 18:22 |
| coreymon77 | well, thats the bell | 18:23 |
| vbgunz | is klash anygood? | 18:23 |
| coreymon77 | i have to go | 18:23 |
| coreymon77 | cya later everyone | 18:23 |
| sven_ | Jucato, it would actually be a great fix; if something goes wrong, you won't have to start all over again | 18:26 |
| Jucato | sven_: please check if there's a bug/wish filed like that. if not. please do :) | 18:26 |
| fkm | Firetech, I got a little question. How do I deactivate VIMperator? | 18:26 |
| sven_ | Jucato, and another nice feat., would be that you can still browse the package list (possibly selecting other packages you want to install / remove in a next "apply changes") while the apply changes is running.. | 18:27 |
| sven_ | Jucato, I'll go and check | 18:27 |
| Jucato | sven_: you can | 18:27 |

| [ifr0g] | Dekans, one mini live cd it is possible with a kernel option to load os to ram but i dought the 700 live cd has it. | 19:20 |
| Dexhu | sorry I'm lost here how to accomplish this:( | 19:21 |
| [ifr0g] | sui, thats normal as far as i know, it will only download the upgrades which are small. | 19:21 |
| LastMall | lovre_ it should be close to nil | 19:21 |
| BluesKaj | Dexhu, do you see the install icon ? | 19:21 |
| LastMall | lovre_ but nothing is foolproof | 19:22 |
| Dexhu | on where..the browser or web site? | 19:22 |
| sui | [ifr0g]: do you mean I should let him do the upgrade again? | 19:22 |
| [ifr0g] | Dekans, desktop. | 19:22 |

| lovre_ | LastMall: i dont know how to explain the problem im having | 19:23 |

| Dexhu | are those on the HD? | 19:23 |
| lovre_ | and its not only firefox, its every HTTP application | 19:24 |

| [ifr0g] | and disable all the options | 19:24 |

| Dexhu | OK..I'm trying to restore kbuntu that crash while I was upgrading it and now I want want to boot to it without loosing my data | 19:29 |
| blendtux | maybe because you can download the dvd from a fast connection and you install it on a machine with a slow connection xevious | 19:29 |
| BluesKaj | ok, now we find out the problem | 19:29 |
| Dexhu | yes I do blues but I don't have the update version on a CD | 19:29 |

| xevious | blendtux: yeah. ok. i'll just grab the cd | 19:29 |
| LastMall | xevious lots of disk space and wanted to see nearly every installable app | 19:30 |
| Dexhu | I get a ERROR 15 file not found when I try to boot up o the upgrade | 19:30 |
| xevious | so if you have a fast internet connection the only real benefit of the dvd is a more featureful live bootup environment? | 19:31 |

| zmitya | hi all | 19:33 |
| xevious | Dexhu: one solution would be to remove everything on the hard drive except /home (and any other directories you have), maybe make a copy of /etc to your home directory so you can restore any customized configuration files, then reinstall and have it use the exisiting partitions | 19:34 |

| WaltzingAlong | Eeyore-Jr: known issue, fixed in gutsy-proposed (pre-release) | 19:34 |
| [ifr0g] | Dexhu, i dought it. Best option right now is to reinstall / on another partition, thus saving your files OR Fix the error you are getting at boot. | 19:34 |
| xevious | Dexhu: by (and any other directories you have) i meant any other directories you've created outside of /home | 19:34 |
| lovre_ | this is veird. But im almost sure it has something to do with ruter/proxy, cuz a friend of mine has it also, and he is in the same LAN sharing internet connection. Here is screenshot: http://i20.tinypic.com/1zwdjt4.png | 19:34 |

| [ifr0g] | Eeyore-Jr, Ooo. what is the code name for 8.04 ? | 19:37 |
| WaltzingAlong | Eeyore-Jr: i answered this twice. there is an update Already. it is in the "gutsy-proposed" repository. you can get in now by enabled proposed/pre-release updates in adept manager | 19:37 |

| lovre_ | [ifr0g]: on BOF. so u suppose the problem is not on my comp | 19:42 |
| [ifr0g] | serenity_, right click on the icon in the panel and manual.configuration.. every thing you add edit there will stay at every boot | 19:43 |
| [ifr0g] | lovre_, well if only you could test it with out your router | 19:43 |
| [ifr0g] | we could be sure | 19:43 |

| jhutchins_x | acey, You've got to accept that compiz is bleeding edge alpha-test software, and still doesn't work on a majority of linux PC's. | 21:19 |
| rakan | Hello, is there a good open source PHP editor with intelisense like Zend studio? | 21:20 |
| jhutchins_x | rakan: vi | 21:21 |
| rakan | does it have auto completition and Intellisense? | 21:21 |
| waylandbill | I thought the default action was to mouse over a window and make it active or at least I know the scroll wheel functions that way. | 21:21 |
| jhutchins_x | You can set it up to, although it's not as thorough as emacs. | 21:22 |
| jhutchins_x | I thought Zend was OS anyway, don't they have a linux version? | 21:22 |
| rakan | no they dont | 21:22 |
| rakan | Zend studio is created using Java | 21:23 |
| rakan | so its OS independant | 21:23 |
| rakan | what about PHP 4? i dont see it anywhere in my kubuntu repo. can i still install it and integrate it to apache? | 21:23 |
| waylandbill | a firm understanding of a programming language and its libraries makes working with it easier and lowers the dependency of autocompletion and the like. | 21:24 |
| rakan | yea but we are talking about productivity here | 21:24 |
| rakan | i do know PHP quite well | 21:24 |
| rakan | but i recently moved to LInux. used to code on Windows using Zend | 21:25 |
| rakan | and auto-completion really helped in decreasing the time required to code something | 21:25 |
| rakan | it was such a good editoe | 21:25 |
| rakan | for some reason it doesnt accept arabic input on linux | 21:25 |
| rakan | which is strange | 21:25 |
| astan | maybe kdevelop has php autocompletion, and is maybe more like zend studio than vi(m) is. but i don't know. | 21:26 |
| rakan | thanks guyz | 21:26 |
| waylandbill | I'm sure there are many that can be rather productive with a simple text editor. | 21:27 |

| frojnd | waylandbill, I've installed windows drivers for the laptop but I can't connect | 21:43 |
| === rachid is now known as harpi | ||
| harpi | hey everybody ! | 21:43 |
| waylandbill | frojnd: is ndiswrapper's module loaded and did you set an alias? the ubuntu help wiki has good instructions. | 21:44 |
| waylandbill | (also bcm43xx would have to be unloaded to use ndiswrapper to load a windows driver) | 21:45 |
| harpi | i'm experienciing some trouble, I 'm behind a proxy server ... and i try to install via apt-get but the problem is that apt doesn't want to connect to any server to update .... | 21:45 |
| frojnd | waylandbill, first I've installed a program that allows windows drivers | 21:45 |
| harpi | does anyone have any idea of that | 21:45 |
| frojnd | than I load .nfo file from windows driveres | 21:45 |
| frojnd | and program said that driver is installed.. | 21:45 |
| waylandbill | .inf file.. right. | 21:45 |
| frojnd | waylandbill, inf sorry | 21:45 |

| waylandbill | did you do ndiswrapper -ma (install alias for all devices) | 21:46 |
| frojnd | waylandbill, no | 21:46 |
| harpi | nobody had some experience with apt-get and proxy ? | 21:47 |

| waylandbill | frojnd: you may want to try that. I'd do modprobe -r bcm43xx; modprobe -r ndiswrapper; ndiswrapper -ma; modprobe ndiswrapper in a terminal to see if it will help | 21:47 |
| waylandbill | frojnd: do those as root or via sudo btw. | 21:48 |

| angasule | Dhraakellian: "aptitude remove ubuntu-desktop" doesn't do it? it should | 22:05 |
| frojnd | Ok looks like waylandbill is gone.. | 22:06 |
| frojnd | does anyone know how can I enable or install wireless card? | 22:06 |
| zerothis | angasule: can aptitude remove itself? | 22:06 |
| frojnd | I wnet to administration and than enabled firmware for broadcom 43xx chipset family | 22:07 |
| frojnd | but han I have to specify a firmware location | 22:07 |
| angasule | zerothis: eh? you want to remove aptitude? why on earth? | 22:07 |
| frojnd | what exactly is firmware location??? | 22:07 |
| Dhraakellian | angasule: that only removes the metapackage | 22:07 |
| ||arifaX | a friend of mine has installation problems (feisty and gutsy) on a notebook. it is a 64bit machine. the 32bit installer does not reach the boot screen. the 64bit version installs with no problems. some kind of timer error appears during boot. any ideas because he wants to install 32bit? | 22:07 |
| angasule | Dhraakellian: did you install with aptitude or with apt-get (or a front end like adept, synaptic, etc)? | 22:08 |
| zerothis | angasule: no Dhraakellian wanted to remove it. I want X to work <http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/41990/> | 22:08 |
| angasule | zerothis: Dhraakellian wanted to remove ubuntu-desktop, not aptitude | 22:09 |
| WaltzingAlong | frojnd: seems like you need to grab a copy of the ms windows driver. the firmware would be in that | 22:09 |
| frojnd | I wanna to install drivers for my wifi: bradcom. So I went to administration -> restricted drivers and enabled Broadcom 43xx. And than a window appeared with some kind of note that I have to specify firmware location... where is this? | 22:09 |

| frojnd | but what file am I looking for | 22:10 |
| frojnd | WaltzingAlong, | 22:10 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: I have also a broadcom BCM4328 in a notebook what is yours maybe I can help you a little | 22:10 |
| Dhraakellian | angasule: I'm pretty sure it was aptitude, since I remember reading that aptitude is smarter about uninstalling metapackages | 22:10 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: mine did NOT work with the bc43xx driver from linux | 22:11 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, just a sec | 22:11 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: I needed the win driver and ndiswrapper | 22:11 |
| Dhraakellian | I can double-check my bash history though | 22:11 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, Dell Wireless 1390 802.11b/g | 22:12 |
| angasule | Dhraakellian: yes, aptitude is smarter for uninstalling, but you have to use aptitude all the time for it to work right | 22:12 |
| Dhraakellian | angasule: yeah... I installed ubuntu-desktop with aptitude | 22:12 |
| Dhraakellian | other stuff with different frontends, yes, but ubuntu-desktop was installed with aptitude | 22:12 |
| MEtaLpREs | so, just got my copy of Guttsy, the livecd works fine, boots fine, the installer goes great and installs fine, then when i reboot it starts booting fine then i get a blank screen, not even a cursor or anything and it sits and doesnt ever go any further, even after 30 mins | 22:13 |
| Dhraakellian | on the other hand, this is a very fresh install, so wiping it out and starting over wouldn't be too tragic | 22:13 |
| MEtaLpREs | i checked my xorg.conf file and reset it back to vesa drivers and it still doesnt boot | 22:13 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: there is a howto her for feisty http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092 maybe this also applies to gutsy? | 22:13 |
| angasule | Dhraakellian: you have to use *only* aptitude if you want it to work right, aptitude isn't magic, it keeps a database on automatically installed packages | 22:14 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, I hopse so | 22:14 |
| * Dhraakellian looks around for that purekde page | 22:14 | |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: I think you can skip the part with compiling ndiswrapper, just install it and use the one that comes with gutsy | 22:15 |
| Dhraakellian | ah, found it: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde.php | 22:15 |
| MEtaLpREs | i did see some forums posts saying that some systems can take as much as 5mins to detect the vid card on boot, but even after 30 im still not getting anyhting, and it appears to be frozen totally, cant even dump back to a console | 22:15 |
| ||arifaX | MEtaLpREs: pc or notebook? | 22:16 |
| MEtaLpREs | pc | 22:16 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, well I don't have cable internet here | 22:16 |
| frojnd | just wireless | 22:16 |
| frojnd | that sux | 22:16 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: but you are online at the moment how comes? | 22:17 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, I have 2 computers one laptop that I can't connect and this box.. | 22:17 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: I see | 22:18 |
| MEtaLpREs | im grabbing a copy of feisty now so i can try that and maybe do an upgrade cause gutsy just doesnt work as a frsh install on this box | 22:18 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: you could try to get the .deb packages or make a net2net connection to the working machine via cable and use it as gateway | 22:19 |
| MEtaLpREs | i can only assume its a video card issue, but im running a radeon 9600, its like one of the most common video cards out there, so why it wouldnt work its a mystery to me | 22:19 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: a small proxy server would be enough | 22:19 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, I also have flash drive | 22:19 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, I don't have any cross over cable here with me | 22:19 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: I see | 22:19 |
| WaltzingAlong | with two linux machines? using a normal cable should work | 22:20 |
| jing | hi | 22:20 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: so what you need would be ndiswrapper and the dell driver executable and cabextract | 22:21 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: do you run same distribution on both machines? | 22:21 |
| === _Kernel is now known as Kernel | ||
| frojnd | ||arifaX, nop, on box feisty and on laptop gutsy | 22:21 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, ndiswrapper ok | 22:22 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, I just have to download windows drivers | 22:22 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: you could extract the dell driver on the other machine so you don't need the cabextract on the target machine | 22:22 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, i allready have extracted on the laptop just on XPs... | 22:23 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: so you need the .deb for ndiswrapper the .inf and the .sys from the driver and that should be all | 22:23 |
| ||arifaX | I could send you the .deb for ndiswrapper from my apt-cache if you like (I am on gutsy) | 22:24 |
| frojnd | || I have ndiswrapper | 22:26 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, I have ndiswrapper | 22:26 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: so you just need to do that tutorial and it should work! oh and if you have wpa you need wpa_supplicant | 22:26 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, when I do ndiswrapper -l there is a note: bcmwl: invalid driver! bcmwl5: invalid driver! | 22:27 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: strange | 22:27 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: you have the .sys and the .inf there? | 22:28 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, how can I unistall em | 22:28 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, yes | 22:28 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: ndiswrapper -r drivername | 22:28 |
| ||arifaX | btw I use bcmwl5 here | 22:29 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, same here :> | 22:29 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: I don't know if ndiswrapper does copy the driver when you install it. did you install it from the flash drive or did you copy it to local disk before? | 22:30 |
| frojnd | ok | 22:30 |
| frojnd | removed | 22:30 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, I just copyed the content on my local disk | 22:30 |
| frojnd | NOW | 22:31 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: I checked. ndiswrapper copies the driver to /etc/ndiswrapper/bcml5/bcmwl5.sys | 22:31 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: and you used that R151517.EXE from dell as source? | 22:32 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, rhat's correct :) | 22:33 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: maybe the linux bc43xx module is loaded on your machine and makes problems with the other driver. hmm could be | 22:34 |
| miles_ | is there a command to display how much ram one has in konsole? | 22:35 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, could be... | 22:35 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, now I've installed successfully | 22:35 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, how can I check if it works | 22:35 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: did you do that part adding ndiswrapper to your modules? | 22:36 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, yes | 22:36 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, I can see wireless settings there | 22:36 |
| AmyRose | How can I find out what programs are started with the default Kubuntu session? (I turned off session saving) | 22:36 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: yeah | 22:36 |
| ||arifaX | do a sudo iwlist scanning | 22:37 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, but when I do lsmod | grep bcm there is nothing | 22:37 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: thats ok! same here | 22:37 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: you do not use the bcm kernel modul you use ndiswrapper! | 22:37 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, oh ok | 22:37 |
| === miles_ is now known as MilesG | ||
| ||arifaX | frojnd: when I do sudo iwlist scanning here I see my accesspoint in the result. but I remember I needed a reboot before it worked - what shows ndiswrapper -l ? | 22:38 |

| ||arifaX | frojnd: you should be able to ping the router without setting a dns | 22:59 |
| MilesG | necromancer | 22:59 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: just do a sudo ifdown eth1 and sudo ifup eth1 | 22:59 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, well I can ping it ... | 22:59 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: then good so | 22:59 |
| WaltzingAlong | !info monodevelop | 23:00 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: now check /etc/resolv.conf and maybe post it - what is your dns ip same es gateway? | 23:00 |
| ubotu | monodevelop: C#/Boo/Java/Nemerle/ILasm/ASP.NET Development Environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.14+dfsg-1ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 2273 kB, installed size 7280 kB | 23:00 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42007/ settings for this box | 23:00 |
| astan | hm. the very simple thing of opening up a network port, will i have to fiddle with iptables for that, or is there something that comes standard with kubuntu (KDE?) to just open up a port? | 23:00 |
| Bandito | Yesssss I finally got this poxy KUBUNTU to go Wireless | 23:00 |
| MilesG | astan: try firestarter | 23:00 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, nop gateway IP and dns1 and dns2 are different | 23:00 |
| MilesG | !firestarter | astan | 23:00 |
| ubotu | astan: 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). | 23:00 |
| WaltzingAlong | !info guarddog | 23:00 |
| ubotu | guarddog: firewall configuration utility for KDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5.0-1ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 482 kB, installed size 1436 kB | 23:00 |
| AmyRose | WaltzingAlong: I know | 23:01 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: wait a mom | 23:01 |
| trappist | anybody got a geforce 8800? I'm wondering if they've fixed the drivers yet. | 23:01 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 193.2.1.66 nameserver 193.2.1.72 | 23:02 |
| astan | MilesG WaltzingAlong: okay. thanks. on one of my computers i was using kmyfirewall, which worked okay.. i just thought if there was something already in KDE for very simple things. | 23:02 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: are this the right ones? | 23:02 |
| astan | i'll look into the alternatives again then. | 23:02 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, yes the same as here on the box | 23:02 |
| WaltzingAlong | astan: those are just interfaces to configuring iptables but sure, use whichever suites you | 23:03 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: ok. you can ping the router so your wireless works. you have the correct dns settings in resolv.conf you should be able to ping some hostname on the internet now. try ping www.google.de | 23:03 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, it wont :S | 23:04 |
| MilesG | computers are crazy | 23:04 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: your nameservers are public nameservers in the internet. so you won't come over the router at the moment | 23:04 |
| ||arifaX | can you ping the nameservers ips and get a response (I can from here!) | 23:05 |
| Hamppari | Hello, how do I install Compiz? | 23:05 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: ^I can ping your dns servers so they are public | 23:05 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, well what is it than | 23:05 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, what is the hatch... this is really insane | 23:05 |
| Hamppari | !compiz | 23:05 |
| 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 | 23:05 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: can you ping the nameservers IPs? | 23:06 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, I got response: ping: unknown host www.google.de | 23:06 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, yes | 23:06 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, ok I CANT | 23:07 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, from ping 192.168.2.11 ... | 23:07 |
| frojnd | WTF | 23:07 |
| frojnd | This settings are for my wired network at home | 23:07 |
| frojnd | I have this IP at home.. | 23:07 |
| WaltzingAlong | frojnd: it may help to read a little about routing | 23:08 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: what shows dig @193.2.1.66 www.google.de | 23:08 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, 1 server found | 23:09 |
| frojnd | ;; global options: printcmd | 23:09 |
| ||arifaX | WaltzingAlong: he already can ping his dns-servers which are on the internet so routing is okay I think | 23:09 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: use pastebin | 23:09 |
| frojnd | ;; connection timed out; no serveres could be reached | 23:09 |
| frojnd | oh sorry I was in the hurry | 23:10 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: so this means you can't reach your dns servers. you told me you could ping them right? | 23:10 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, but than I've corrected myself :S | 23:10 |
| frojnd | I thought I could ping couse I misstyped: ping 193.2.166 | 23:11 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: then WaltzingAlong is right. you cannot reach the public internet. | 23:11 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: what shows dig @192.168.0.1 www.google.de | 23:11 |
| astan | WaltzingAlong: guarddog was just what i was looking for, it was even easier than kmyfirewall which i've used before. thanks! | 23:11 |

| frojnd | ||arifaX, btw, thanx for helping me so much | 23:12 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, the same as 193.2.1.66 | 23:12 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: no problem. could you please pastebin the output of route | 23:13 |

| Hamppari | How do I make sure I have the 8.42.3 ati driver installed and not the "old" one | 23:14 |
| jcha | guys, i've installed the compiz-fusion packages on gutsy... now what? :-) There appears to be no difference, what do i have to do to enable it? | 23:14 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42008/ | 23:14 |
| newsense07 | jcha: from run: compiz --replace | 23:15 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: and the output of route please | 23:15 |
| 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 . for more, ask in #compiz-fusion & see http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/ | jcha, check the wiki; | 23:15 |
| Hamppari | I have the newest ati driver now when I run compiz --replace It says Checking for Xgl: not present. Why is tht? | 23:16 |
| jcha | newsense07: you're a star! that worked! | 23:16 |
| jcha | nice one! | 23:16 |
| newsense07 | np | 23:16 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, and with this u mean dig @dns ? | 23:16 |
| jcha | cheers | 23:16 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: no just the output of the command "route" | 23:16 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, ok just a sec | 23:17 |
| jcha | by the way, am I the only person that gets p***ed off at how google returns results for ubuntu when you search for kubuntu even when half the time ubuntu isn't even mentioned in the page?! it's driving me nuts! | 23:17 |
| ||arifaX | jcha: modify your search string then and add -"ubuntu" maybe helps | 23:18 |
| Hamppari | !aigxl | 23:18 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about aigxl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:18 |
| newsense07 | same thing besides kde replaces gnome | 23:18 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42010/ | 23:18 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, it is using the settings for my home wired network... somehow | 23:19 |
| jcha | just a pet peeve ;-) cheers for the help guys, laters | 23:19 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: that is strange | 23:19 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, I'll paste u the /etc/network/interfaces | 23:20 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: your gateway is 192.168.0.1 - right? and on eth1 your default route points to 192.168.2.8 on eth0 so you could not get out of your net | 23:20 |
| john_ | cunt | 23:20 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: ok | 23:20 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: also add "ifconfig eth1" output please | 23:21 |
| WaltzingAlong | !intel | 23:22 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about intel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:22 |
| needles | how would i make kmplayer the default media player? | 23:23 |
| WaltzingAlong | !default | 23:24 |
| ubotu | To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations" | 23:24 |
| needles | WaltzingAlong: thanks | 23:26 |
| * WaltzingAlong nods | 23:26 | |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, sorry for delay: I have to put in out flash... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42011/ | 23:26 |
| MilesG | is it possible to download kde themes from the kubuntu repositories> | 23:27 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, still there ? :) | 23:29 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: your settings for eth0 and eth1 interfer. | 23:29 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, somehow they fight... | 23:29 |
| ||arifaX | try a "sudo ifconfig eth0 down" and then "sudo ifconfig eth1 down" then "sudo ifup eth1" and check "route" for changes | 23:30 |
| imagine[laptop] | Hmm... All my menu in Kmenu are weird it is like this: :Entries from Strigi Apps | 23:32 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, sudo ifup eth1 SIOCSIFFČAGS: NO such file or directory | 23:32 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: np what about route is there now eth1 in? or still eth0 as default? | 23:33 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, route: everything disapeard :) | 23:33 |
| imagine[laptop] | anyone has their Kmenu all weird with Stuff related to strigi to all entry ? | 23:33 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: ok so you are not connected to the accesspoint anymore I think | 23:33 |
| frojnd | just writes: Destination, Getway, Fenmask Flasgs Metric... | 23:33 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: do a "sudo ifconfig eth1 up" | 23:34 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory | 23:34 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: strange - if you do again sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart what happens? | 23:35 |
| frojnd | first: * reconfiguring network interfaces... RTNETLINK answer: no such process SIOCDELRT: no such process | 23:36 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: I think you really have only the problem that you have concurrent settings for your 2 interfaces. you could remove eth0 completely from interfaces temporary to get eth1 as default route or maybe do a reboot now and we can look again | 23:36 |
| imagine[laptop] | come on.. somebody has to have this problem.... It's just stupid.. All my menu are bugged by strigi | 23:36 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: I will be smoking a cig and be back soon maybe your reboot is done then | 23:36 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, ok.. | 23:36 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, but it will be quick | 23:36 |
| frojnd | 30 sec :D | 23:36 |
| shadowhywind | where are the location where most icons are stored in? | 23:37 |
| imagine[laptop] | shadowhywind: ~/.kde ? | 23:37 |
| shadowhywind | do you know what folder in side of the .KDE folder they would be in? | 23:38 |
| stdin | shadowhywind: you mean system icons? | 23:39 |
| shadowhywind | like the pidgin systray icon | 23:39 |
| stdin | shadowhywind: /usr/share/icons and /usr/share/pixmaps | 23:39 |
| imagine[laptop] | oh yeah.. /usr/share/... didn't remmeber | 23:39 |
| Minataku | <.< | 23:40 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: so what now? | 23:40 |
| imagine[laptop] | stdin: Did you have any issue with Kmenu entries being altered by Strigi? | 23:40 |
| Minataku | Where is Dr_Willis ? ;o; | 23:40 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, let's move away ath0 | 23:40 |
| stdin | imagine[laptop]: nope, all strigi does is eat my cpu :p | 23:40 |
| imagine[laptop] | All my entries start with _:Entries in K-Menu: Strigi app name: name of the apps | 23:41 |
| imagine[laptop] | It's damn annoying... | 23:41 |
| Minataku | Mmmmm. Semiconductors. | 23:41 |
| imagine[laptop] | stdin: yeah.. I disabled the daemon.. but it still ***** my Menu | 23:41 |
| stdin | I don't see how strigi could write to the kmenu, but I don't know it all that well | 23:42 |
| zach_ | hello | 23:42 |
| imagine[laptop] | I don't know but it does it... it's like it's corrupted on my system, but it's a fresh install | 23:42 |
| zach_ | i've got this problem that involves Firefox | 23:43 |
| imagine[laptop] | oh well.. | 23:43 |
| imagine[laptop] | I'm out | 23:43 |
| stdin | imagine[laptop]: I'd recommend you report it on launchpad | 23:43 |
| imagine[laptop] | laucnhpad ? | 23:43 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, we could remove settings for wired network... | 23:44 |
| stdin | imagine[laptop]: launchpad is the site Ubuntu (and Kubuntu) bugs go https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu | 23:44 |
| imagine[laptop] | ty | 23:44 |
| zach_ | it seems to have problems loading the security features | 23:44 |
| imagine[laptop] | no time to report it right now.. Got some studying to do I'll do it later on | 23:44 |
| MaDiNfO_ | hi | 23:45 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: look at the end of http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42013/ | 23:45 |
| MaDiNfO_ | can i use i386 distro with a AMD 64 cpu ? | 23:45 |
| ||arifaX | MaDiNfO_: yes | 23:45 |
| MaDiNfO_ | okay | 23:45 |
| zach_ | because it won't start up, and it says that it had problems trying to load the security features | 23:46 |
| ||arifaX | MaDiNfO_: would be the better choice if you you want to use it as simple desktop systems because all stuff like flash firefox codecs etc. works out of the box then | 23:46 |
| zach_ | and that it couldn't load firefox for that reason | 23:46 |
| MaDiNfO_ | no flash for x86_64 ? | 23:47 |
| Minataku | x64, IMO, is a lousy hack | 23:47 |
| Minataku | I don't see it getting too much support any time soon | 23:47 |
| zach_ | ;_; | 23:47 |
| Minataku | Just boot the lousy pieces of silicon in Legacy Mode | 23:47 |
| ||arifaX | Minataku: good for servers | 23:47 |
| Minataku | Even though you're stuck with x86 either way, you'll be happier | 23:48 |
| stdin | MaDiNfO_: flash only works on 32bit (tho Adobe have some plans for 64bit versions some time in the future) | 23:48 |
| Minataku | Of course, you'll be happiest when you're like be and you find the world outside x86 | 23:48 |
| Minataku | Like UltraSPARC <3 | 23:48 |
| zach_ | can anyone help me? | 23:48 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, ok I've pasted | 23:49 |
| blendtux | anybody ovehrere having problems with blender on gutsy gibbon | 23:49 |
| zach_ | i'm new to this OS, and I'd like to learn more | 23:49 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: restart networking | 23:49 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, so now sudo /etc/init.d/network restart | 23:49 |
| blendtux | crashes when you push the play button | 23:49 |
| zach_ | 23:49 | |
| zach_ | >_> | 23:49 |
| bottiger | I've always used "du -sk .[A-z]* * | sort -n" to se which files/folder that takes up space on my harddrive. However, can someone help me extend it so it prints out the filesize in a human readable format. like "du -sh foo" ? | 23:49 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: yep | 23:49 |
| zach_ | <_< | 23:49 |
| Minataku | Sorry, I've grown to dislike x86 after using other architectures and realizing just how poor x86 is | 23:49 |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: and checkout "route" again and all other stuff we tried | 23:49 |
| zach_ | :'( | 23:50 |
| MaDiNfO_ | well i can compile on i386 with x64 cpu extencions to get more speed or not ? | 23:50 |
| Minataku | zach_: Slow down | 23:50 |
| Minataku | MaDiNfO_: No | 23:51 |
| _mark_ | Does anyone know how to downgrade from Gutsy to Feisty? | 23:51 |
| zach_ | ok.............. | 23:51 |
| Minataku | If it's booted in legacy mode, it can only run IA-32 apps | 23:51 |
| MaDiNfO_ | ok | 23:51 |
| Minataku | And 64bit doesn't give much improvement on x86 anyway | 23:51 |
| MaDiNfO_ | i will stay on i386 than | 23:51 |
| Minataku | Especially in userland | 23:51 |
| zach_ | i just kind of tend to assume that people ignore me | 23:51 |
| Minataku | zach_: If nobody knows the answer, they won't respond | 23:51 |
| Minataku | It keeps the signal to noise ratio better | 23:52 |
| MaDiNfO_ | zach_: learn linux | 23:52 |
| MaDiNfO_ | or kubuntu | 23:52 |
| MaDiNfO_ | or anyother distro | 23:52 |
| MaDiNfO_ | google is your teacher | 23:52 |
| zach_ | i have kubuntu | 23:52 |
| Minataku | zach_: Limit asking to maybe every 20 minutes | 23:52 |
| MaDiNfO_ | wathever | 23:52 |
| zach_ | ok | 23:52 |
| MaDiNfO_ | google teach you | 23:52 |
| Minataku | Perhaps someone will show up later who knows | 23:52 |
| zach_ | cool | 23:52 |
| Minataku | MaDiNfO_: Cease | 23:52 |
| zach_ | alright | 23:53 |
| declan | What does zach want to know? | 23:53 |
| Minataku | We don't harass the newbies here | 23:53 |
| ||arifaX | a friend of mine has installation problems (feisty and gutsy) on a notebook. it is a 64bit machine. the 32bit installer does not reach the boot screen. the 64bit version installs with no problems. some kind of timer error appears during boot. any ideas because he wants to install 32bit? | 23:53 |
| Minataku | We help them | 23:53 |
| marx2k | Anyone here use KLibido? | 23:53 |
| Minataku | Unless they're just being stupid and/or lazy, which has happened before | 23:53 |
| MaDiNfO_ | Minataku: yes but they need to be more specific about their problem | 23:53 |
| MaDiNfO_ | :P | 23:53 |
| Minataku | He was quite specific | 23:53 |
| Minataku | You probably missed it | 23:53 |
| MaDiNfO_ | <zach_> i'm new to this OS, and I'd like to learn more | 23:54 |
| MaDiNfO_ | maybe | 23:54 |
| MaDiNfO_ | this was wath i saw | 23:54 |
| declan | Seems a bit of a large question... | 23:54 |
| * WaltzingAlong had not even seen a question in that | 23:54 | |
| declan | Nothing more specific? | 23:54 |
| MaDiNfO_ | anyway | 23:54 |
| MaDiNfO_ | sleep time | 23:55 |
| WaltzingAlong | _mark_: grab the feisty alt cd, install from there, formatting / but leaving /home intact | 23:55 |
| Minataku | Scroll up and look for it, or zach_, just repeat it | 23:55 |
| * MaDiNfO_ AFK | 23:56 | |
| ||arifaX | frojnd: any news? | 23:56 |
| WaltzingAlong | MaDiNfO_: in konversation press f3 to start a search | 23:56 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, jsut bad news :s | 23:57 |
| stdin | MaDiNfO_: public away messages are obnoxious | 23:57 |
| _mark_ | WaltzingAlong: I think my /home is in the same partition as everything else. It won't work then, will it? | 23:57 |
| _mark_ | Or will it? | 23:57 |
| MaDiNfO_ | stdin: its s simple /ame | 23:57 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, I've tryed everything: route nothing dig nothuing... and than I've sudo ifconfig eth0 down | 23:58 |
| stdin | MaDiNfO_: just use /away <reason> when you are away | 23:58 |
| WaltzingAlong | _mark_: well saving /home was meant to save your personal files/folders; but any of the !backup methods should work for that | 23:58 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, still nothing, and than I sudo ifconfig eth1 down (I don't know why) | 23:58 |
| stdin | and take a look at the IRC Guidelines | 23:58 |
| MaDiNfO_ | anything else ? | 23:59 |
| stdin | MaDiNfO_: nope, you're free to sleep :) | 23:59 |
| frojnd | ||arifaX, but if I do iwconfig there are settings for eth1 despite I made sudo ifconfig eth1 down | 23:59 |
| MaDiNfO_ | :P | 23:59 |
| MaDiNfO_ | okay | 23:59 |
| declan | I have a question: how do people here start compiz on kubuntu gutsy. When I type compiz, I end up without decorations, and the desktop becomes unusable. Is there a better command to type? I have ubuntu-desktop installed, and it works there, so I guess I have all of the requisite packages... | 23:59 |
