| sub[t]rnl | or you could just go ahead and boot up the normal way, and enable the restricted driver with two clicks | 00:00 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as apox | ||
| JimBob | well, I did enable the driver with 2 clicks the normal way, but i says a reboot is required, which in turn would loose the setting (with a live dvd)... | 00:00 |
| Angelus | is it normal that wine crashes you're whole system? | 00:03 |
| Angelus | or is it because im using compiz=fusion and wine? | 00:03 |
| sub[t]rnl | shouldn't crash | 00:04 |
| sub[t]rnl | i run the two without problems | 00:04 |
| Angelus | hmm | 00:04 |
| sub[t]rnl | what are you trying to run in wine? | 00:04 |

| JimBob | so, back to my proprietary ati driver question: since the 'normal' activation requires a reboot (which kinda nullifies its use with a live cd), is there any way to activate the driver before the actual bootup? | 00:09 |
| JimBob | I'm pretty sure *someone* must have faced such a problem before ;) | 00:09 |
| Dragnslcr | You shouldn't need to reboot to use a new video driver, just restart X | 00:10 |
| Dragnslcr | Of course, I don't know if you can just restart X from the Live CD | 00:11 |
| JimBob | you can - i'll be right back after *this* short break ;) | 00:11 |

| ubotu | samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT | 00:18 |

| hellraizor_ | or ever try it | 00:22 |
| blueyed | Does compiz work for you in Kubuntu/KDE? Here it says "Error: Another window manager is already running on screen: 0"; full terminal output at http://pastebin.com/d34530fcf - it used to work in the end of Gutsy development cycle and still works with Gnome. | 00:22 |
| hellraizor_ | yes i get the same thang | 00:22 |
| blueyed | hellraizor_: the compiz one? | 00:23 |
| blueyed | Then I'll report a bug about it. | 00:23 |
| hellraizor_ | did that | 00:23 |
| blueyed | ok, where? | 00:23 |
| === morphine is now known as morphinex | ||
| hellraizor_ | kubuntu on there site is a bug report | 00:23 |
| blueyed | hellraizor_: on launchpad.net | 00:24 |
| blueyed | ? | 00:24 |
| morphinex | anyone using gmaail imap with kmail? | 00:24 |
| hellraizor_ | let me look | 00:24 |
| morphinex | And know how I can get rid of that annoying [Gmail] directory that duplicates everything in my inbox | 00:24 |
| blueyed | hellraizor_: I've not found something when searching for the error. | 00:24 |
| sub[t]rnl | blueyed: are you using compiz --replace | 00:25 |
| hellraizor_ | https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug/+login | 00:25 |
| blueyed | sub[t]rnl: yes, see the pastebin | 00:26 |
| blueyed | hellraizor_: that's not a bug url | 00:26 |
| ardchoille | I'm finding k3b to be more powerful than I thought. | 00:26 |
| blueyed | what's your launchpad.net account name, hellraizor_? | 00:26 |
| blueyed | sub[t]rnl: does it work for you? | 00:26 |
| sub[t]rnl | compiz? yeah | 00:27 |
| blueyed | sub[t]rnl: yes, it used to work for me, too - but I've not used it for a few days/weeks and now it does not anymore. | 00:27 |
| hellraizor_ | looking for it i posted one time it's been somtime ago | 00:28 |
| blueyed | hellraizor_: if you tell me your account name then I could look in the bugs you've reported. Or did you forget that one actually? | 00:28 |
| BluesKaj | morphinex, I'm using the autofowarding feature in gmail to kmail | 00:29 |
| BluesKaj | if that's what you want to do | 00:29 |
| morphinex | BluesKaj: Well, I'm checking my gmail account using imap since they just implemented it | 00:30 |
| BluesKaj | why imap? | 00:31 |
| BluesKaj | never used it | 00:31 |
| morphinex | Because it is awesome ;) | 00:31 |
| morphinex | BluesKaj: it letrs you keep all your email clients in synch | 00:32 |
| morphinex | BluesKaj: by storing all the emails on the server | 00:32 |
| BluesKaj | what's different than pop mail | 00:32 |
| BluesKaj | think my ISP mail syaten rquires pop3 | 00:33 |
| BluesKaj | system | 00:33 |
| morphinex | BluesKaj: POP just downloads the messages, whereas with imap your entire directory sturucture is duplicated on the server, so if you have a laptop and desktop you can keep them perfectly in synch | 00:33 |
| morphinex | BluesKaj: So when I reply to an email using my laptop, my desktop knows about that and the message is marked as replied to across all my email clients | 00:34 |
| BluesKaj | just my pc and wifes pc , no laptops .. | 00:34 |
| skeet | ok guys what do i have to do to get this http://youtube.com/watch?v=kYgV2GlsufI | 00:35 |
| BluesKaj | ok, gotcha morphinex | 00:35 |
| morphinex | BluesKaj: But the way gmail implements it is kidn of crazy and annoying, and I have to mark every read message as read twice | 00:36 |

| bazhang | alt +f2 for the one without ;} | 00:38 |
| sub[t]rnl | the & free's the console | 00:38 |
| blueyed | bazhang: yes, you can - to have it in the background. But you should not close the konsole anyway, with or without "&" :) | 00:38 |
| rudy_ | hola | 00:38 |
| BluesKaj | beryl, compiz-fusion ...just there to kill vista's eye candy thing | 00:39 |

| OmegaNine | Got a dumb question. Just moved from Ubuntu to Kubuntu and it seems like the apt-get list is tiny. can I just add the ubunutu feeds or is there a special place where I can get things like azurus for kubuntu? | 01:11 |
| callaway | how long has kubuntu been around ? | 01:12 |
| OmegaNine | Since the early ubuntu days | 01:12 |
| callaway | what year? | 01:12 |
| callaway | I am used to redhat | 01:13 |
| OmegaNine | Umm google will know :-P | 01:13 |
| Jucato | OmegaNine: Ubuntu and Kubuntu use/share the same repositories | 01:13 |

| Jucato | what Ubuntu has, Kubuntu has too. | 01:13 |
| Jucato | http://www.kubuntu.org/announcements/hoary-release.php <--- first release | 01:13 |
| callaway | kubuntu is Great for burning cds and using flash memory . It kicks ass all around that topic | 01:13 |
| OmegaNine | Weird, seems like stuff is missing, maybe its just im not connecting to the repositories....They come with the same lists by default? | 01:15 |
| Jucato | yes | 01:15 |
| callaway | oh its been around since 2005 | 01:16 |
| callaway | I thought it was relased in 2006 | 01:16 |
| OmegaNine | I was wrong, the first release was 5.* | 01:16 |
| Jucato | afaik, just one release behind Ubuntu | 01:16 |
| Jucato | (first Ubuntu was 4.10 iirc) | 01:17 |
| OmegaNine | Damn wikipedia and its sudo info :-P | 01:17 |
| wesley | wikipedia is useless everone can edit | 01:17 |
| OmegaNine | hehe | 01:17 |
| Jucato | everyone who has an account :) | 01:17 |
| wesley | no you dont need a account | 01:18 |
| Jucato | wikipedia is useful for gather related links though | 01:18 |
| Jucato | really? you needed an account to edit last I checked | 01:18 |
| callaway | you mean wikipedia contains false info? | 01:18 |
| Jucato | it may | 01:18 |
| OmegaNine | Yeah | 01:18 |
| hydrogen | wikipedia is awesome | 01:18 |
| callaway | thats scary | 01:18 |
| kyled185 | popular articles will sometimes be restricted to non-anonymous users | 01:18 |
| OmegaNine | some times its like....Exactly wrong...Some times its shades of wrong | 01:18 |
| wesley | what ubunyu has is not real wikipedia | 01:19 |
| callaway | a encyclopedia with false info | 01:19 |
| Jucato | sometimes it's exactly right :) | 01:19 |
| Jucato | wesley: you seem to be confusing a "wiki" from "Wikipedia" | 01:19 |
| OmegaNine | I wouldn't bet a term papers grade on it though ;-) | 01:19 |
| Jucato | callaway: it never claimed to be an encyclopedia replacement | 01:19 |
| Sanne | wesley: I wouldn't say wikipedia is useless, you just have to read critically. It's good we have independent media for information. | 01:19 |
| Jucato | callaway: better research on what wikipedia really is :) | 01:20 |
| wesley | yes but everone can delete the infio | 01:20 |
| hydrogen | I'd say an encylopedia editable by everyone is more likely to be right than an encyclopedia edited by only a few | 01:20 |
| hydrogen | but | 01:20 |
| Jucato | wesley: not everyone. you need an account | 01:20 |
| hydrogen | thats off topic for this channel | 01:20 |
| OmegaNine | Agreed, but...Its right so much, I dont read it as critically as I should. | 01:20 |
| wesley | wikipedia is still editable by everone | 01:20 |
| Jucato | "You are not currently logged in.

| wesley | i dont think they do that and its not easy in the dutch | 01:23 |

| ardchoille | earl_: I've wondered that myself.. I'll ask in #kde | 01:48 |
| earl_ | please | 01:48 |
| kgx | does anyone how i can figure out what caused a kernel panic. i can't make much sense ofthe log system log files | 01:48 |
| brandon | is there a howto somewhere on using kde4 instead of kde 3.5.7? | 01:49 |
| skeet | ok when i go into compiz fusion my comp freezes what should i do | 01:49 |
| dave__ | kde 4 iasnt even out yet | 01:49 |
| dave__ | *isnt | 01:49 |
| Jucato | brandon: depends on 1) where you got it from and 2) why you're trying to use it | 01:49 |
| ronin_ | nosrednaekim: OpenGL is pretty much broken, it seems. Do you know a way to tweak or fix it? Or is it just a crappy driver revision | 01:50 |
| Jucato | but as of KDE 4 Beta 3, it's not really that suitable yet for non-developer testing | 01:50 |
| brandon | 1) canonical and 2) because i feel the need to | 01:50 |
| Jucato | (Beta 4 is a bit better, but we don't have packages yet) | 01:50 |
| nosrednaekim | ronin_: works for me...is the kernel module laoding and accosiating? | 01:50 |
| skeet | i cant use compiz fusion or desktop effects...y? | 01:50 |
| Jucato | brandon: then see the kubuntu.org page for the beta3 release. it has instructions | 01:51 |
| dave__ | lol | 01:51 |
| ronin_ | nosrednaekim: Er... how could I check that? | 01:51 |

| k5ubuntu | that wasnt me | 01:57 |
| LjL | !nickspam | 01:57 |
| ubotu | You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages : use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently - See also !Guidelines | 01:57 |

| nosrednaekim | ronin_: near the top, direct rendering | 01:58 |
| LjL | k5ubuntu, benefit of doubt once - next time it's a ban, though. lock your computer while you aren't using it is my advice. | 01:58 |
| ardchoille | earl_: That gives you the logout window and option to restart/shutdown? | 01:58 |

| kyled185 | dave__, you there? | 02:32 |
| ronin_ | Going to need to pastebin this... | 02:32 |
| RogueJediZero | nosrednaekim: Tried that already. This is what happens: http://kubuntu.pastebin.com/m4c110a4a | 02:32 |
| ronin_ | !pastebin | 02:32 |

| usuario | I want to install some software, but i don' t know how about this | 02:32 |
| k5ubuntu | sure what kind of software | 02:33 |
| ronin_ | nosrednaekim: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/42983/ this is what occured | 02:33 |
| dave__ | kyled185, yeah just slow at typing | 02:33 |
| k5ubuntu | you want to install linux to a hardrive or like a software for something | 02:33 |
| hydrogen | kmenu->add/remove programs. | 02:33 |
| usuario | i want to install some software, as photoshop, coreldraw... | 02:33 |
| k5ubuntu | ok | 02:33 |
| hydrogen | there are equivelents to those that run under linux | 02:33 |
| usuario | and drivers, as TV TUNER PRO | 02:34 |
| kyled185 | dave__, ok, now down where it says Virtual 1400 1050 | 02:34 |
| hydrogen | functional equivilents | 02:34 |
| hydrogen | browese around add/remove programs | 02:34 |
| dave__ | kyled185, that should take me about a half hour..brb :-/ | 02:34 |
| nosrednaekim | ronin_: ah.... at the end of your Xorg config file you have compozite extention disabled | 02:34 |
| k5ubuntu | well im pretty new and i do know some stuff but i cant answer technical problems or hep installing software such as that | 02:34 |
| usuario | can i install it under linux, with windows | 02:34 |
| usuario | ? | 02:34 |
| k5ubuntu | hmm | 02:35 |
| nosrednaekim | usuario: the first two will not work, the tuner might | 02:35 |
| ronin_ | nosrednaekim: Oh, what should I look for? | 02:35 |
| RogueJediZero | usuario: Unfortunately, no. However, I would reccomend checking out GIMP, Inkscape, Krita or Karbon17 | 02:35 |
| nosrednaekim | !hardware | usuario | 02:35 |
| ubotu | usuario: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport | 02:35 |
| dave__ | kyled185, keep typing i can catch up with history | 02:35 |
| OmegaNine | Can someone recomend a nvidia howto? | 02:35 |
| kyled185 | dave__, ok | 02:35 |
| nosrednaekim | ronin_: near the end, should be something about extention composite | 02:35 |
| nosrednaekim | ronin_: really, AT the end | 02:36 |
| usuario | thanks... i will see it... | 02:36 |
| ronin_ | nosrednaekim: Change "Disable" to "Enable" ? | 02:36 |
| usuario | I want to install a windows XP with Linux. Because iḿ a designer, and i need to work with files as CDR and PSD | 02:37 |
| nosrednaekim | ronin_: delete the section altogether | 02:37 |
| nosrednaekim | !virtualbox | 02:37 |
| ubotu | VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox | 02:37 |
| kyled185 | dave__, replace Virtual 1400 1050 with Virtual 1024 768 | 02:37 |
| ronin_ | nosrednaekim: Okay, done. Why is that bad, exactly? | 02:37 |
| redshadowhero | Would someone know how to remap keyboard buttons on Kubuntu? | 02:37 |
| ronin_ | nosrednaekim: What is composite and why is it disabled etc? | 02:37 |
| vellakd | I don't | 02:37 |
| nosrednaekim | ronin_: it was for the previous fglrx driver, which didn't support it | 02:37 |
| kyled185 | dave__, and where it says Modes and then a ton of resolutions and refresh rates | 02:38 |
| nosrednaekim | ronin_: it does... different things... IDK;) | 02:38 |
| redshadowhero | ...vellakd: so, wait, I get on here to ask the question for you, and then you respond like that?! >:o | 02:38 |
| nosrednaekim | ronin_: restart X | 02:38 |
| ronin_ | nosrednaekim: What's the quick restart on that? ^^; | 02:38 |
| nosrednaekim | ctrl+alt+bckspace? | 02:39 |
| kyled185 | dave__, cut "1024x768@85" and put it right in front of the first resolution "800x600@60" make sure there's a space or tab in between the two resolutions | 02:39 |
| kyled185 | dave__, now, as a disclaimer, messing with this file can potentially make the GUI not start and will leave you at a command line system | 02:40 |
| nosrednaekim | ronin_: anything? | 02:42 |
| ronin_ | nosrednaekim: Okay, X not dead. | 02:42 |
| ronin_ | Nothing shiny though | 02:42 |
| nosrednaekim | run that command again | 02:42 |
| nosrednaekim | "compiz --replace | 02:42 |
| kyled185 | dave__, if that happens (which is highly unlikely, the changes we made are fairly benign) just type sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 02:42 |
| kyled185 | dave__, and reboot and it should be back to the way it was before | 02:42 |
| nosrednaekim | ronin_: anything :) | 02:43 |
| ronin_ | nosrednaekim: Okay, it "worked" but now I don't have any....er.. borders? | 02:43 |
| ronin_ | Ie. This window takes up the whole screen | 02:43 |
| kyled185 | dave__, alright, with the disclaimer out of the way, to make the changes take effect, save and close that file. then logout (you might need to press ctrl+alt+backspace) | 02:44 |
| martalli | How can I run a jar file? | 02:44 |
| LjL | martalli: java -jar filename.jar | 02:44 |
| nosrednaekim | ronin_: errrr.... alt+f2 "kwin --replace" | 02:44 |
| nosrednaekim | ronin_: and, unfortunately, I have to go... go to #compiz-fusion for help:) | 02:44 |
| martalli | LjL: thanks | 02:44 |

| RogueJediZero | Diskonnected: Depends. What can we help you with? | 02:49 |
| Diskonnected | RogueJediZero: I need to figure out how im supposed to use IPCop is it a Firewall and a Router or just a firewall and if its not a router where do i place it(behind router directly on the internet or what?? | 02:50 |

| Tm_T | Creationist: umm, what your nick is meaning? | 02:51 |
| RogueJediZero | Diskonnected: I haven't used Ipcop myself, but it looks like a firewall for your computer | 02:52 |
| Dragnslcr | Creationist- I believe the 6xxx and 7xxx cards use the same drivers | 02:53 |
| Creationist | Tm_T: I'm a creationist, as opposed to an evolutionist ;) | 02:53 |
| yurimxpxman | (compiz-fusion problem) any idea what's going on with this? http://yurimxpxman.dyndns.org/paste | 02:54 |
| Tm_T | Creationist: humm, thats quite religious | 02:54 |
| Creationist | Dragnslcr: So, I assume it's not like Windows where I need to uninstall the drivers, install the card, and then reboot. | 02:54 |
| Tm_T | Creationist: can I ask to change your nick? | 02:54 |
| dave__ | kyled185,the formatting is different in the paste than the console, does it matter if the colomns are more than 4rows accross? | 02:54 |
| Dragnslcr | Creationist- I wouldn't think so | 02:54 |
| hydrogen | Tm_T: and your name is quite almost explosive! | 02:54 |
| Tm_T | hydrogen: it is | 02:54 |
| Creationist | Tm_T: And extremely scientific. But that's a topic for a different channel. And you can ask me to change it, but I won't ;) | 02:54 |
| joshk1025so | do the compiz effects work on laptops? | 02:55 |
| joshk1025so | like older ones with not so much memory (128 shared for video)? | 02:56 |
| kyled185 | dave__, I'm not sure I understand what you mean | 02:56 |
| Diskonnected | RogueJediZero: Okay; so if it is just a firewall not a router; do i put it directly on the modem and then put the router on the IPCop box? | 02:56 |
| === osiris_ is now known as osiris | ||
| dave__ | kyled185, in the xorg file there are four colomns of resoloutions, does that format matter? | 02:57 |
| hydrogen | uhoh | 02:57 |
| hydrogen | here comes Mr Tm_T the thought-police cop! | 02:58 |
| mneptok | Creationist: IMO, the nick is a bit inflammatory given the scientific leanings of most geeks. it's like me walking into your church wearing an "Abortionist" t-shirt. i'm happy you have found something that gives you peace. there's no need to advertise it, IMO. | 02:58 |
| Tm_T | agreed | 02:58 |
| hydrogen | mm | 02:58 |
| hydrogen | he has had it for a while | 02:58 |
| hydrogen | a nick is a nick is a nick | 02:58 |
| dave__ | kyled185, sorry it depends on the size of the window on how the data is displayed | 02:59 |
| RogueJediZero | Diskonnected: I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do. Are you trying to make a router from your computer? | 02:59 |
| kyled185 | dave__, ok | 02:59 |
| Creationist | mneptok: Personally, I would love to welcome you into my church with such a shirt :). But my name isn't meant to be offensive in any way... it is a personal representation of my own beliefs and scientific research. :) | 02:59 |

| kyled185 | yep ;) | 03:00 |

| hydrogen | that it doesn't! | 03:01 |

| anton_ | Hey, I want to save something to my sources.list but I think I need to be in root mode. Can I save something to the list through a terminal? | 03:02 |
| kyled185 | dave__, whitespace isn't really that important as far as functionality is concerned, it helps with readability. | 03:03 |
| dave__ | kyled185, i mean if I misallign any of these numbers it would mess it up, correct? | 03:04 |

| lordofthepigs | What is a good way to make incremental backups of my important data? | 03:06 |

| kyled185 | lordofthepigs, git | 03:06 |
| dave__ | kyled185,ok, thanks for your in depth help, i owe you one :-) | 03:06 |
| hydrogen | git would be horribly overengineering it | 03:06 |
| kyled185 | dave__, yep, no problem | 03:06 |
| hydrogen | rsync would work | 03:07 |
| kyled185 | hehe | 03:07 |
| hydrogen | there are some scripts that automate it | 03:07 |
| hydrogen | !backup | 03:07 |
| ubotu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 03:07 |

| jjj543k3 | Any one know of a good audio mixing app? | 03:07 |
| hydrogen | audacity | 03:07 |
| DevideZero | simply question : why NOT to use gtk application on kde ? | 03:08 |
| posingaspopular | !worksforme | 03:08 |
| ubotu | Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability. Please see http://geekosophical.net/random/worksforme/ | 03:08 |
| Creationist | !sources.lst | 03:08 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about sources.lst - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:08 |
| posingaspopular | DevideZero: thats the answer i got when i asked that question | 03:08 |
| jjj543k3 | this sounds stupid but audacity looks terible on anythig other than windows because it was built with wx which annoys me know of any kde native audio mixind apps | 03:08 |
| RogueJediZero | Diskonnected: In that case you need to put the box with IPcop between the modem and the router | 03:09 |
| posingaspopular | duno if that answers the questions completly | 03:09 |
| DevideZero | posingaspopular , what ? | 03:09 |
| DevideZero | did you understand my question ? | 03:09 |
| hydrogen | DevideZero: you can use gtk apps on kde | 03:10 |
| hydrogen | theres no reason not to | 03:10 |
| hydrogen | except that kde apps are a whole lot better | 03:10 |
| hydrogen | but | 03:10 |
| jt__ | hola | 03:10 |
| kyled185 | except slightly slower start up time for the first app you open | 03:10 |
| hydrogen | apps can run independant of the desktop your on | 03:10 |
| hydrogen | kyled185: thats really not a big deal | 03:10 |
| kyled185 | hydrogen, agreed | 03:10 |
| DevideZero | why gnome and kde dont use both the same qt or gtk but the both you the samw it will sokve alot problems .. . | 03:11 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about compiz help - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:11 |
| danny | !compiz | 03:11 |
| 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 | 03:11 |
| danny | nevermind | 03:12 |
| hydrogen | DevideZero: gtk was formed a long time ago when qt's license didn't satisfy his holiness RMS. Since then Qt's licensing has been remedied, but people still use gtk because they don't know any better | 03:12 |
| hydrogen | at least thats my take on it! | 03:12 |
| dave__ | kyled185,it worked beautifully, thanks again, YOU DA MAN!! | 03:13 |

| k5ubuntu | it can be | 03:32 |
| Dr_Willis | it can look like it. :) | 03:32 |
| k5ubuntu | and since unix is like linux it is similar kind of | 03:32 |
| Dr_Willis | With a bit of work.. you can have a gui almost as annoying as OS-X | 03:32 |

| dave__ | they both have a unix core correct | 03:33 |

| kyled185 | dave__, Linux is a clone of Unix. OS X is actually Unix | 03:34 |

| Dr_Willis | Other then that. All the OS-X dock wannabes ive seen/tried all are rather lacking.. of course I find the original OS-X dock lacking | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | DreamLinux (a live cd) has Somthing that LOOKS very much like the OS-X dock. but not sure what its using | 03:40 |
| k5ubuntu | ill google it | 03:40 |
| Dr_Willis | good idea | 03:41 |

| dave__ | is there a way to disable the join and leave notifications in konversation? | 03:45 |
| BlackAngel | oi | 03:46 |
| dave__ | blackangel, annnddd? | 03:47 |
| BlackAngel | yes brasil | 03:47 |
| dave__ | blackangle, sorry | 03:48 |
| dave__ | blackangel, sorry | 03:48 |
| BlackAngel | :P | 03:49 |
| dave__ | :-) | 03:49 |
| RogueJediZero | dave__: Settings -> Configure Konversation ... -> Behavior -> Chat Window -> Hide Join/Part/Nick events | 03:50 |
| dave__ | roguejedizero,thanks | 03:50 |
| RogueJediZero | Don't mention it | 03:51 |
| the-erm | I can't believe I'm asking this ... in kcontrol there is a place to enable power saving. I have it set to 45 minutes. For both "root" and myself. Yet every ~5 minutes - I haven't timed it but seems about right - the screen turns off. | 03:52 |
| the-erm | Any ideas ... | 03:52 |
| navets | does anyone know if there is a way to redo the gutsy upgrade | 03:53 |
| BlackAngel | the IRC in Brazil was very weak here after the excrement of msn | 03:53 |
| RogueJediZero | the-erm: K-Menu -> System Settings -> Desktop -> Screen Saver. Is that it at the bottom? | 03:54 |
| the-erm | navets: I'm not sure. You could load up adept_manager find everything that's "installed" and set it to "reinstall" | 03:54 |
| navets | the-erm: humm, is there a quick way to do that lol? | 03:55 |
| the-erm | I wish. | 03:55 |
| the-erm | I don't know. | 03:55 |
| Lam_ | how do i globally stop my computer from beeping whenever i backspace or whatnot? | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | shall we ask WHY this is needing to be done? | 03:58 |
| draik | Soooooooo...... | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Lam_: xset b 0 0 0 might do it for ya | 03:59 |
| the-erm | RogueJediZero: That's really weird ... it didn't have a screen saver. | 03:59 |
| draik | Just upgraded to Gutsy | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Lam_: also Konsole has its own settings for the beep | 03:59 |
| dave__ | has that false upgrade bug been fixed yet? | 03:59 |
| draik | Not bad. Not bad at all | 03:59 |
| jacques | xset b off | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | I tend to set the beep to be a real short click. :) | 03:59 |
| Lam_ | Dr_Willis, jacques: i'll give that a try. thanks. this works with gtk too right? pidgin is doing the same thing and it's annoying -_- | 03:59 |
| the-erm | I could have sworn it was set ... odd, crazy weird. | 04:00 |
| the-erm | Maybe it's because it wasn't in the "saved session" | 04:00 |
| Lam_ | Dr_Willis: the man page says that the settings will revert upon logout. is there a way to make it more permanent? | 04:02 |
| perrako | Hey -- I'm having trouble getting window borders in Kubuntu with compiz | 04:03 |
| perrako | I don't have any window decorators, as it weer | 04:03 |
| hydrogen | run kde-window-decorator | 04:04 |
| perrako | Could not find the specified command... should I install it with synaptic? | 04:05 |
| perrako | NVM, fixed it. Is there a way to get a compiz system tray icon? | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis | Lam_: thats what .bashrc and .bashprofile are good for. | 04:06 |
| Lam_ | Dr_Willis: ah. didn't know that. thanks | 04:06 |
| kalorin` | hey dr_willis | 04:09 |
| kalorin` | how's thigns | 04:09 |
| kalorin` | anyone have any idea why I wouldn't be noticing any more updates for 7.04 lately? | 04:10 |
| kalorin` | just seems strange, when I was on 6.10, it popped up pretty quickly to upgrade to 7.10 | 04:10 |
| biovore | its being obsoleted | 04:10 |
| kalorin` | 7.04 rather | 04:10 |
| kalorin` | I'm not seeing any updater alerts saying click now to do an upgrade | 04:11 |
| kalorin` | specifically I'd like to be playing with gimp 2.4 now that that's out | 04:11 |
| biovore | I have always had to manualy upgrade here.. | 04:11 |
| biovore | between dists | 04:11 |
| kalorin` | doing an apt-get dist-upgrade gives me back that i'm up to date | 04:12 |
| kalorin` | it's strange | 04:12 |
| biovore | need to change your /etc/apt/sources.list from feisty to gusty | 04:12 |
| biovore | then dist-upgrade | 04:12 |
| biovore | and pray | 04:12 |
| kalorin` | yeah but it's interesting I didn't have to with the 6.10 to 7.04 upgrade | 04:13 |
| kalorin` | it just sort of popped up the caution sign one day and said click here to blow stuff up | 04:13 |
| kalorin` | and the full upgrade button isn't highlighted in adept | 04:14 |
| kalorin` | so it's like it has no idea it's obsolete | 04:14 |
| gil__ | alguien sabe en español? | 04:14 |
| kalorin` | I hope it doesn't find out from someone else, it's feelings will be hurt nad it'll be mad at me :) | 04:14 |
| kalorin` | !es | 04:14 |

| micha_ | cze jest ktos z polski | 04:20 |
| perrako | So, I just installed kick-off, but it won't open with the windows key -- how do I fix that? | 04:20 |
| * Dr_Willis wonders what kick-off is | 04:21 | |
| Dr_Willis | !info kick-off | 04:21 |
| ubotu | Package kick-off does not exist in gutsy | 04:21 |
| Dr_Willis | !find kick | 04:21 |
| ubotu | Found: kicker, kicker-applets, system-config-kickstart, kicker-contactsmenu, kicker-kblogger (and 1 others) | 04:21 |
| perrako | Kick-off is that really nice SUSE menu | 04:22 |
| perrako | Replaces the normal KDE menu... KDE 4 has a version of it as its default menu | 04:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Oh. that thing i always replace when i work on a suse box. :) | 04:26 |
| Dr_Willis | saw it on the kde4 live cd.. :) i found it lacking. But to each their own. | 04:26 |
| perrako | I love the search feature :) | 04:27 |
| perrako | just... always there, omnipresent | 04:27 |
| perrako | Heh, either way -- i think it's a problem with kde menu not responding to the key. how would I fix that? | 04:27 |
| Dr_Willis | Right its so anoying to use :) ya have to just search.. | 04:27 |
| Dr_Willis | of course I just use Katapult mainly these days. | 04:27 |
| perrako | heh, I just noticed it. | 04:28 |
| Dr_Willis | night all... | 04:35 |
| mmmiiikkkeee | powermanager keeps switching from "AC mode" to "battery mode" every 2 seconds... any ideas of what i could search google for to fix this? | 04:38 |
| Kamerheimer | some wireless driver help would be appreciated is anyone available | 04:40 |
| Kamerheimer | idk how to extract the firmware from broadcom drivers using fwcutter | 04:41 |
| posingaspopular | Kamerheimer: you got the install to work? | 04:42 |
| awag | does anyone know the name of the search program that came with the feisty faun version of kubuntu? | 04:43 |
| navets | how do I run the snddevices script? | 04:43 |
| awag | that was in kmenu | 04:43 |
| Kamerheimer | yes i did i had to run it with noapic and nolapic | 04:43 |
| Kamerheimer | i dont know hwo to get hte wireless drivers working | 04:44 |
| posingaspopular | excellent. well i hate to break the news to you, but it sounds like your computer is going to be a pain to configure | 04:44 |
| posingaspopular | did you try the wireless documentation? | 04:44 |
| Kamerheimer | idk what that is | 04:44 |
| Kamerheimer | this is my first time using linux | 04:44 |
| posingaspopular | !wireless | 04:44 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 04:45 |
| Kamerheimer | dont really know the menus and all that well esp since i have no internet on it | 04:45 |
| Kamerheimer | oh yeah iw as there already | 04:45 |
| posingaspopular | oh okay | 04:45 |
| Kamerheimer | idk what broadcom i have | 04:45 |
| navets | how do I run the snddevices script? or where would the script be | 04:46 |
| posingaspopular | hmm well ive never setup wireless drivers, so i can't really help, buti can try | 04:46 |
| dsmith_ | !beagle | 04:47 |
| ubotu | Services to index files for fast searching include: Beagle (front-ends: beagle, catfish, gnome-main-menu, mozilla-beagle for !GNOME; kerry, kio-beagle for !KDE; beaglefs for !CLI) - Tracker (tracker-search-tool, libdeskbar-tracker for GNOME; tracker-utils for CLI) - Strigi (strigi-applet, strigi-client for KDE, strigi-utils for CLI) - Kat (for KDE) - Pinot (and pinot-applet for GNOME) - Doodle (for CLI) | 04:47 |
| posingaspopular | broadcom is a company that puts integrated circuits into computers, which is of course the hardware. so you need the drivers to make the hardware play nice with the software | 04:47 |
| dsmith_ | more like narrow-minded com | 04:47 |
| posingaspopular | broadcom chipset just means that the broadcom hardware is the one that's actually connecting your computer to the internet | 04:48 |
| Kamerheimer | yep | 04:48 |
| posingaspopular | as far as i know anyway. | 04:48 |
| posingaspopular | so do you know what the broadcom chipset is on your computer, or are you stuck at that part? | 04:48 |
| Kamerheimer | yeah idk which one i got | 04:49 |
| Bearcat | hey folks, i know this isn't a hardware specific channel, but i really need some trouble shooting help here. | 04:50 |
| Bearcat | is anyone familiar with gigabyte boards? | 04:51 |
| Bearcat | I just put together a system around a gigabyte ga-p35-dsr3 and a intel core 2 duo e6550. The first time i turne the system a few minutes ago the cpu fan spun fine but i got no post tones and no video. After that i still get no post tones, no video and the cpu fan spins at first but then does not. This is *Exactly* the same problem i am having with another machine with a gigabyte board in it. Any ideas? | 04:52 |
| posingaspopular | Kamerheimer: ah i dont *actually* know how to findout whatchipset you have | 04:53 |
| posingaspopular | but let's see if we can figure it out | 04:53 |
| Kamerheimer | i see this thing written by darkn00b | 04:53 |
| Kamerheimer | yo knwo him | 04:53 |
| Kamerheimer | he puts a link to a file but the link doesnt work anymore | 04:54 |
| posingaspopular | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 04:55 |
| posingaspopular | the first command should be what you need, and then the rest is ignorable i guess | 04:56 |
| posingaspopular | so yea, lshw | 04:56 |
| Kamerheimer | so now i gotta go back to linux and then come back here | 04:56 |
| Kamerheimer | son of a bleep | 04:56 |
| Kamerheimer | be back | 04:56 |
| posingaspopular | doh sorry | 04:57 |
| posingaspopular | lspci | 04:57 |
| anton__ | Hi, I'm trying to get the avant window manager to work. I can open it and see the dock, but I can't open the preferences of the awn manager...what could be wrong? | 04:58 |
| Diskonnected | hey room; i have a question is there a package i can get for Kubuntu that will turn the computer its on into a Firewall like IPCop? | 05:00 |
| Diskonnected | I have a copy of ipcop downloaded but for some reason i cant get the cd to boot... | 05:00 |
| hydrogen | iptables.. | 05:01 |
| hydrogen | !iptables | 05:01 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 05:01 |
| Diskonnected | well what i meant was I need a distro to turn a computer into a high functioning firewall for my entire network | 05:03 |
| Kamerheimer | !wireless | 05:04 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 05:04 |
| _dns_ | try ipcop | 05:04 |
| LinuxReign | try Coyote as well | 05:04 |
| Diskonnected | thats what i tried; its 45mb cd and i cant get it to boot | 05:04 |
| Diskonnected | is Coyote its own distro? | 05:04 |
| LinuxReign | yes | 05:04 |
| hydrogen | Diskonnected: you can do that with any linux computer | 05:05 |
| bazhang | will setting the ip tables to exclude certain addresses effectively block them? | 05:05 |
| Diskonnected | whats the website? | 05:05 |
| LinuxReign | no cdrom or hdd needed, just a floppy drive | 05:05 |
| Kamerheimer | 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM94311MCG wlan mini-PCI (rev 01) | 05:05 |
| LinuxReign | http://www.coyotelinux.com/ | 05:05 |
| Diskonnected | Hydrogen: Thank you... | 05:05 |
| Kamerheimer | you see that man | 05:05 |
| LinuxReign | u can use a 486 with 16 mb of RAM with coyote | 05:06 |
| LinuxReign | no need to use expensive hardware | 05:06 |
| posingaspopular | yes i see | 05:06 |
| Diskonnected | yeah | 05:06 |
| Diskonnected | is it dependable? | 05:06 |
| LinuxReign | or keep ur main system up and running 24/7 | 05:06 |
| Diskonnected | and strong | 05:06 |
| Diskonnected | i need something strong | 05:07 |
| bazhang | ie, using a filter to exclude certain ip addresses in ip tables? | 05:07 |
| Diskonnected | iv had multiple intrusion attempts on my network | 05:07 |
| Diskonnected | well i need it to be able to filter out attacks; basically i dont want actual people being able to connect to my computers; i need logs of everything that happens and i need it to be able to be updateable for blocking new types of attacks and know how to tell if its a trojan or a hacktool thats connecting | 05:08 |
| Diskonnected | thats the deal im working with | 05:08 |
| Diskonnected | i was told ipcop is the best but i cant get the cd to friggin boot | 05:08 |
| bazhang | so will editing the ip tables do that? | 05:08 |
| Diskonnected | possible | 05:08 |
| Diskonnected | but only if i know exactly what ip's/ip ranges i need to block or want to block | 05:09 |
| posingaspopular | Kamerheimer: i am 'googling' | 05:09 |
| Kamerheimer | ok thanks broseph | 05:09 |
| Kamerheimer | pm me ok | 05:09 |
| Kamerheimer | too much clutter here | 05:09 |
| bazhang | I had about 35 hits from a mainland chinese address in less than two minutes | 05:09 |
| LinuxReign | Coyote should do what u need, IPCop as well | 05:10 |
| Diskonnected | yeah... | 05:10 |
| Diskonnected | is it possible the ipcop iso image i got isnt bootable or what? | 05:10 |
| Diskonnected | and if so how do i do a network install | 05:10 |
| bazhang | and whois doesn't know who they are. | 05:10 |
| LinuxReign | for a network install the system board must have that capability | 05:11 |
| LinuxReign | depends on the mainboard | 05:11 |
| Diskonnected | k... | 05:12 |
| Diskonnected | this is some crap:\ | 05:13 |
| Diskonnected | is Coyote a live cd? | 05:13 |
| LinuxReign | let me see if i have an image of that | 05:14 |
| Diskonnected | ok... | 05:14 |
| Diskonnected | idk but the comp wont boot from a cd but it will boot from a hard drive...its set to boot CD first | 05:14 |
| Diskonnected | doesnt make sense | 05:14 |
| LinuxReign | thats an old version but, woks | 05:15 |
| LinuxReign | works* | 05:15 |
| Diskonnected | what? | 05:15 |
| LinuxReign | accept the file | 05:15 |
| Diskonnected | ooo ok | 05:15 |
| Diskonnected | wait | 05:16 |
| Diskonnected | i dont c a pm? | 05:16 |
| Diskonnected | i am using XChat | 05:16 |
| LinuxReign | i see | 05:16 |
| LinuxReign | Im running Konversation | 05:16 |
| LinuxReign | not familiar with the Xchat thingy | 05:17 |
| LinuxReign | :P | 05:17 |
| Diskonnected | i dont use linux on this box | 05:17 |
| Diskonnected | lemme switch to Mirc | 05:17 |

| bazhang | fresh install, but just no swap--possible? | 05:23 |
| Jucato | (only one way to find out... | 05:24 |
| Jucato | :P | 05:24 |
| LinuxReign | lol | 05:25 |
| bazhang | trying to install to a solid state drive, and don't want to wear it out | 05:25 |
| Jucato | I suppose it's possible... but haven't really tried | 05:25 |
| LinuxReign | hiya jucato, long time no see you on the forums | 05:25 |

| ubotu | LinuxReign: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration | 05:28 |
| Jucato | quite simple to do :) | 05:28 |
| D1sk0nn3ct3d | ghetto | 05:28 |

| LinuxReign | 2.24 | 05:31 |
| Jucato | Quel: you don't need a boot parameter. you just need to set the driver up properly... unfortunately, I don't have an ATI so I can't help much | 05:32 |
| LinuxReign | ok, its time to me to get some sleep | 05:32 |
| LinuxReign | c ya guys later | 05:32 |

| bazhang | so if I install Kubuntu without swap, I'll need to create a 100MB /boot partition and the rest for / --am I missing anything? | 05:39 |
| smorg | check your xorg log in /var/x11 | 05:40 |
| smorg | I think | 05:40 |
| Quel | smorg what do you mean? | 05:40 |
| posingaspopular | bazhang: /home | 05:40 |
| Jucato | bazhang: /boot partition is not necessary either. it can be in the same / partition | 05:40 |
| bazhang | Jucato: so just a / partition will do? | 05:40 |
| Jucato | SSD's wear out more easily than regular HD's? | 05:41 |

| Jucato | btw how much RAM do you have? | 05:41 |
| Vuen | hi | 05:41 |
| bazhang | posingaspopular: this is on a solid state drive--only4GB, so want to keep size to a minimum | 05:41 |
| * posingaspopular actually heads off to bed before he falls asleep on the keys. not ideal #kubuntu conditions | 05:41 | |
| Vuen | i just selected a folder in Dolphin and click "Compressed Here" | 05:41 |
| smorg | Quel: oh this is just the livecd? | 05:41 |
| posingaspopular | ah i didn't know that | 05:41 |
| Quel | yes | 05:41 |
| bazhang | Jucato: one Gigabyte | 05:41 |
| Vuen | where the heck did it put the archive?? | 05:41 |
| smorg | :-/ | 05:41 |
| Jucato | bazhang: you probably won't be using the swap partition even if you had one :) | 05:42 |
| Quel | Ati Radeon XPress 1250.. i think its my videocard | 05:42 |
| smorg | do you have enough ram to run the livecd? | 05:42 |
| bazhang | Jucato: thanks! will give it a shot. | 05:42 |
| Jucato | Vuen: go one directory up | 05:42 |
| smorg | requires 256 mb afaik | 05:42 |
| bazhang | smorg: yes | 05:42 |
| smorg | hm | 05:42 |
| Quel | i have 2GB RAM | 05:42 |
| * Jucato is now confused who's talking to who... | 05:43 | |
| Vuen | Jucato: oh. it tarred the whole folder. i assumed it would only tar what i selected. | 05:43 |
| smorg | Quel: I guess i'm not so sure about configuring video drivers from command line... if thats even why its hanging for you. It could be anything. | 05:43 |
| Vuen | good thing i didn't click that while selecting something in home... | 05:43 |
| Jucato | Vuen: no you have to right-click on the particular folder | 05:43 |
| Jucato | Vuen: or go into the folder you want compressed, then select Compress Here | 05:44 |
| Jucato | and yes, D3lphin is a bit annoying when it comes to that :) | 05:44 |
| Quel | i had the same error while booting kanotix... kano said i had to use "screen=auto fglrx" in the bootmanager to boot because it is an ati radeon video-card, after that it worked | 05:44 |
| Quel | i think kubunto dont know this parameter | 05:45 |
| Jucato | I don't think the Live CD has one | 05:45 |
| Jucato | you can always check. at the startup screen, you can press F1. there might be help options | 05:45 |
| Quel | can i install kubunto to my /dev/sda1 in console? | 05:46 |
| drarem | since the 7.10 release, there haven't been any system updates to speak of, right? | 05:46 |
| Jucato | Quel: not if you're using the Live CD | 05:47 |
| Jucato | drarem: there were | 05:47 |
| Jucato | last week I think | 05:47 |
| Jucato | specifically there was an update to kdelibs that fixed the Kopete crashing problem | 05:48 |
| Quel | Jucato how can in install kubuntu without a cd? Do i need windows for installing? | 05:48 |
| drarem | i commented out my cd-universe.. | 05:48 |
| Jucato | Quel: there's an alternate installation CD that can install without a GUI | 05:48 |
| Quel | ah okay, so i need the xserver to install | 05:48 |
| Jucato | Quel: only *IF* you are using the Desktop CD. the Alternate Install CD doesn't need xserver | 05:49 |
| Jucato | drarem: if you have gutsy-updates repositories enabled, you should have gotten them | 05:49 |
| drarem | ok | 05:49 |

| wilson | mkisofs makes iso | 07:06 |
| Daisuke_Ido | utnubuk: try using k3b | 07:06 |
| utnubuk | ive heard of dd, i looked at man pages but didnt look easy :) | 07:06 |
| nalioth | k3b is probably the easiest way | 07:08 |

| Daisuke_Ido | i don't know how well that would actually work | 07:10 |
| Daisuke_Ido | but meh | 07:10 |
| bazhang | anton__: well, you do need compiz-fusion and all the plugins installed (both main and extra), as well as the settings manager | 07:10 |
| Jucato | Daisuke_Ido: might want to drop the / before whatever and it will :) | 07:10 |
| === esti is now known as adtya_yk | ||
| Daisuke_Ido | Jucato: just using that as a way to give a directory to store it | 07:11 |
| anton__ | bazhang: I think I have compiz-fusion installed. Could you send me a link to a guide or something? | 07:11 |
| nalioth | utnubuk: then dd is probably as hardcore as you're gonna find | 07:12 |
| Jucato | Daisuke_Ido: yes... but that will try to write it in the / directory, to which you don't have write access to :) | 07:12 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Jucato: this is true | 07:12 |
| bazhang | anton__: not sure about a guide, though I can tell you how to do it--pretty simple really | 07:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/directory/you/want/to/use/and/have/write/access/to/whatever.iso | 07:13 |
| Daisuke_Ido | there :D | 07:13 |
| Jucato | bah! just simply dd if=/dev/cdrom of=whatever.iso :P | 07:13 |
| Jucato | it will create it in the current directory, and he can just move it himself later :P | 07:14 |
| anton__ | bazhang: Sounds great! | 07:14 |
| Jucato | !compiz | anton__ | 07:14 |
| ubotu | anton__: 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 | 07:14 |

| utnubuk | whats all that talk about bytes and blocks in the man pages for dd? | 07:18 |
| bazhang | you need to specify the block size ie 1024 | 07:18 |
| anton__ | bazhang: Yes, I have. | 07:18 |

| eagles0513875 | any1 know fi there are any bugs with soundkonverter and the w64codecs | 07:22 |
| eagles0513875 | !w64codecs | 07:22 |

| eagles0513875 | !w32codecs | 07:22 |
| ubotu | Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs | 07:22 |
| bazhang | anton__: there are a couple of ways to do this (likely more); one is with the scale effect, that will make all the other windows become transparent--except the one you are on. | 07:25 |
| bazhang | anton__: by mousing over the various windows, the new one becomes opaque, and the others transparent | 07:26 |
| anton__ | bazhang: Ok. | 07:26 |
| bazhang | anton__: try it--and you might want to make the top corner (or whatever corner) the trigger --located under bindings--double click the area under screen corner and then choose the one you want | 07:27 |
| anton__ | bazhang: Sorry, can you repeat that in a simpler version? | 07:28 |
| bazhang | anton__: you need to adjust the opacity in the main window as well--I set mine to 35, which is quite transparent--though you may want more :} | 07:28 |

| zgmf-x20a | hey all. have a question abt Kontact. how do i change the font color of the names? currently i cannot see any names after doing an import. also, i am running it out of gnome. i prefer kubuntu by far, but alas, my wireless card works on ubuntu, and not through kde... | 07:29 |
| zgmf-x20a | any thoughts? | 07:30 |
| eagles0513875 | zgmf-x20a: what kinda card do u have | 07:33 |
| eagles0513875 | !restricted | 07:33 |

| zgmf-x20a | eagles0513875: trust me dude, ive been thur it from so many angles.... ubuntu just works, getting it to work thru kubuntu was a nightmare... its the intel wireless 4695 agn, integrated in my laptop | 07:34 |
| eagles0513875 | zgmf-x20a: ouch. mine used to be a nightmare in any distro mines a broadcom 4306 | 07:35 |
| eagles0513875 | where do i get the w32codecs from for some reason i cant find them even though i have all repos enabled | 07:35 |
| zgmf-x20a | lol. dude, dont worry about media stuff.... download and install vlc media player | 07:36 |
| OliverKrueger | How do I change my repository mirror without editing apt/sources.list manually? Is there a tool to choose a mirror from a given list? | 07:36 |
| zgmf-x20a | just type vlc in adept | 07:37 |
| zgmf-x20a | downlaod and install the main package and you will never have to worry abt codecs ever again | 07:37 |
| zgmf-x20a | man,,,, i miss adept.... synaptic leaves something to be desired | 07:37 |
| Jucato | wow! | 07:38 |
| Jucato | first person I've heard say that :) | 07:38 |
| Jucato | there might be hope for adept after all :) | 07:38 |
| zgmf-x20a | lol, its true, adept is simple, clean, and descriptive | 07:38 |
| zgmf-x20a | synaptic is all over the place | 07:38 |
| Jucato | which adept? :) | 07:38 |
| zgmf-x20a | adept that comes with 7.10 is fine | 07:39 |
| zgmf-x20a | 6.10 was fine too | 07:39 |
| zgmf-x20a | its simple | 07:39 |
| zgmf-x20a | that is key | 07:39 |
| Jucato | There are 5 brothers in the Adept family now... | 07:39 |
| zgmf-x20a | hey eagles0513875 did you get vlc yet!? | 07:40 |
| Jucato | Adept Notifier (system tray notifier), Adept Updater (update tool), Adept Installer (Add/Remove Programs), Adept Manager (the Big Adept) and Adept Batch (almost never seen/used) | 07:40 |
| zgmf-x20a | well, i dunno, my opinion is that it is much cleanier, simpler to use | 07:40 |
| zgmf-x20a | oooo, adept updater | 07:40 |
| Jucato | (the simplest would be Adept Notifier since it just displays and icon and sits there :D | 07:40 |
| zgmf-x20a | well and installer | 07:40 |
| Zombocom | how do you edit xorg.conf from the command prompt? | 07:41 |
| Jucato | Zombocom: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 07:41 |
| zgmf-x20a | lol, yah that is good, but i mean to use for looking for packages, and seeing what they are for, and as a tool to manage packages its much better | 07:41 |
| Jucato | Ctrl+O to save (writeOver) and Ctrl+X to exit | 07:41 |
| Jucato | zgmf-x20a: ah you haven't encountered a big issue I have with Adept Installer | 07:41 |
| zgmf-x20a | i only used to encounter issues back in 5.10 | 07:42 |
| zgmf-x20a | from then on, its been a beautiful tool | 07:42 |
| Jucato | try search for GCC in there :) | 07:43 |
| Jucato | basically, Adept Installer (Add/Remove Programs) only shows a limited number of packages, compared to the actual number of packages available through the repositories... | 07:43 |
| Jucato | it sort of has it's own, smaller database... | 07:43 |
| zgmf-x20a | this is my second go on ubuntu.... since the 5.10 days... the gui is quite nice, very mac esque... with the closing and opening thing, but honestly, if kubuntu had that and the wireless networking ubuntu has, kubuntu would be hype | 07:44 |
| zgmf-x20a | ooooo yah i knoe there is that issue | 07:44 |
| Jucato | which annoys me.. because, if you can't find a package in Installer that you know exists, you have to close it and launch Manager instead | 07:44 |
| zgmf-x20a | yahhhhhhhh i had that with my nvidia card back in 6.10 | 07:44 |
| zgmf-x20a | that was hell | 07:44 |
| * Jucato wants a unified, clean, simple but powerful UI for Adept Installer + Manager... | 07:45 | |
| zgmf-x20a | lol it is pretty clean, just the useful ness with thos types of packages yah is a pain | 07:45 |
| Jucato | it's clean, but less useful, and a ripoff from Ubuntu's Add/Remove... maybe that's the goal anyway... | 07:46 |
| zgmf-x20a | SWEET,,,, kontact issue in gnome now solved... just had to re import after restart.... very odd, but with gnme it seems you have to restart after every kde app install to get it to work proper.... | 07:47 |
| Jucato | oh well.... | 07:47 |
| zgmf-x20a | lol well its a derivative of ubuntu right, so that makes sense | 07:47 |
| Jucato | it's not a deriv... it's a clone :P | 07:47 |
| zgmf-x20a | iiiiiiiiii dunno man.... they are pretty different in alot of areas..... well, front end wise | 07:48 |
| Jucato | hehe | 07:48 |
| zgmf-x20a | the core though yah, is clone, thats why i say derivative... like some stuff in ubuntu sucks so much. the way to burn files and all, horrible, k3b, amazing, and konqueror, same thing, amazing, easy, this nautilus is..... not fun... lol | 07:50 |
| Jucato | oh I was talking only about the Add Remove Programs :) | 07:50 |
| Jucato | that one's a real clone, interface-wise :) | 07:50 |
| zgmf-x20a | hahahahaha oh... damn that seems to be your focus... lol | 07:50 |

| zgmf-x20a | hahaha... im sure it will be equvalent at some point, i find kubuntu is always just a step behind ubuntu.... like as soon as 8.10 comes out, ill be back on kubuntu because it whould be pretty up to speed by then | 07:53 |
| * Jucato sighs... | 07:53 | |
| zgmf-x20a | course thats in like years | 07:53 |
| Jucato | I only know too well :( | 07:53 |

| zgmf-x20a | aight now that i got the kontact back up and running im gunna go mess around with it for awhile | 07:53 |
| zgmf-x20a | catch you later man | 07:53 |
| Jucato | well, Kubuntu 8.04 would have caught up to Ubuntu 7.10 by then. And Kubuntu 8.10 will have KDE 4.x installed by default | 07:54 |

| Jucato | you'll have to ask the compiz-fusion guys about that :/ | 08:10 |
| bazhang | thanks Jucato! | 08:10 |

| === galathal1on is now known as galathalion | ||
| lounge-about | but it wont let me do anything | 08:12 |
| Jucato | you will probably have to do it from a live cd. since you can't do any actions if the partition you want to modify is mounted | 08:12 |
| eagles0513875 | zgmf-x20a: i dunno what else to do except file a bug | 08:12 |
| TheGateKeeper | lounge-about, you should be able to use gparted to shrink the original partition, then create a new ntfs partition & format it | 08:12 |
| TheGateKeeper | I have done similar things but with ext3 | 08:13 |
| OliverKrueger | I want to upgrade from feisty to gutsy with adept. Doing so adept downloads an update-manager with a hardcoded repository uri (which is not avail at the moment). How do I change adepts behaviour? | 08:13 |
| eagles0513875 | OliverKrueger: look at the upgrade instructions at the top | 08:13 |
| OliverKrueger | eagles0513875: I did. | 08:14 |
| lounge-about | OliverKrueger: adept dist-upgrade | 08:14 |
| lounge-about | or adept install dist-upgrade | 08:14 |
| Jucato | lounge-about: er.... no | 08:15 |
| Jucato | not valid commands. | 08:15 |
| lounge-about | or is it apt | 08:15 |
| lounge-about | apt-get | 08:15 |
| Jucato | apt-get | 08:15 |
| OliverKrueger | eagles0513875: there is no adept on the cli. :-( | 08:15 |
| lounge-about | i go back and forth from KDE and GNOME a lot | 08:15 |
| OliverKrueger | sorry. I meant lounge-about. ;) | 08:16 |
| Jucato | but that's not the recommended method to upgrade to Gutsy | 08:16 |
| lounge-about | its how i had to do it...in a terminal boot on top of that | 08:16 |
| eagles0513875 | OliverKrueger: its apt instead | 08:17 |
| Jucato | OliverKrueger: at what part of the instructions have you stopped? what errors are you getting? | 08:17 |
| TheGateKeeper | I abandoned (k)ubuntu because the upgrade mechanism sucked, good to see nothing has changed... | 08:17 |
| Jucato | eagles0513875: if you're willing to give him exact instructions on what packages should be installed to ensure a complete upgrade, which repositories to disable, etc. | 08:17 |
| OliverKrueger | The problem is: I can perfectly change the repository uri in adept. Everything works fine until the external update-manager is launched. | 08:17 |
| eagles0513875 | TheGateKeeper: i upgraded successfully | 08:17 |
| eagles0513875 | Jucato: all he has to do make sure feisty has all the upgraded pkgs | 08:18 |
| lounge-about | are you getting package errors? | 08:18 |
| eagles0513875 | Jucato: then add the repos in adept the he can do a fully upgrade | 08:18 |
| Jucato | TheGateKeeper: it's improving... the upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy has not been very problematic | 08:18 |
| TheGateKeeper | eagles0513875, hmm works for me doesn't cut it, has to work for EVERYONE | 08:18 |
| OliverKrueger | /var/log/dist-upgrade/main.log says: IOError in cache.update(): 'Failed to fetch http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty.... | 08:18 |
| eagles0513875 | Jucato: or he could use source o matic to change the source list and use the cli to do a complete dist upgrade | 08:18 |

| intelikey | i went all through the wiki on midi and according to that it should be working there is no "if" contengent for when it doesn't "just work" so anyone have any insight at all on this ? playmidi: No playback device found. | 08:19 |
| sebastian^ | good morning folks :)! | 08:19 |
| Jucato | TheGateKeeper: most of the problems that have happened are 1) 3rd party repositories blocking the upgrade or 2) server traffic failing to fetch updates | 08:19 |
| OliverKrueger | 2) might be my problem. :) | 08:20 |
| OliverKrueger | How fresh is gutsy? Are the ubuntu.com servers still under heavy load? | 08:20 |
| Jucato | hi intelikey! | 08:21 |
| intelikey | shalom Jucato | 08:21 |
| TheGateKeeper | I got fed up with this nonsense, so I only use distros with rolling updates | 08:21 |
| Jucato | OliverKrueger: not taht new. not sure why the german servers would have a problem | 08:21 |
| lounge-about | server load is going down | 08:21 |
| OliverKrueger | I had probs doing a normal dist-upgrade (on feisty), thats why I chose a different mirror. | 08:22 |
| OliverKrueger | But the new mirror is not taken for update_manager. | 08:22 |
| Jucato | eagles0513875: not so simple. he has to 1) make sure all 3rd party repos are disabled and 2) make sure that some basic metapackages are installed, and some other checks. these are done automatically by the upgrade tool. but if you've had experience with some other method, please go ahead | 08:22 |
| lounge-about | hm,mm | 08:22 |
| Jucato | OliverKrueger: any change you do w/ mirrors affects Adept and APT | 08:23 |

| darth_chatri | can i use the battery monitor applet outside kicker? | 08:36 |
| darth_chatri | basically i want to use that outside kde | 08:37 |
| intelikey | echo `Q() { sleep 20 ;kill -9 $PPID ; } ;until false ;do Q & ;done` <<<< that might explain it better | 08:39 |
| emilsedgh | darth_chatri: there should be karamba for battery, look at kde-look.org and install superkaramba | 08:40 |
| Blissex | darth_chatri: that is not a good idea because it stupidly keeps writing the battery status to a file, wasting a log of power. | 08:40 |
| Blissex | darth_chatri: using the KDE default battery monitor applet is a bad idea in KDE too as a result. | 08:41 |

| Webbmaster | eagles0513875: i have a black theme, which is why | 11:28 |
| eagles0513875 | Webbmaster: there should be a way to mod the theme and change the txt color | 11:28 |
| nathan_ | yeah i've done that, the only thing nvidia that isn't installed is 'nvidia-xconfig' | 11:29 |
| ardchoille | nathan_: That's because it is included in the current and new drivers | 11:29 |
| Webbmaster | eagles0513875: it works for most sites, its just some that don't | 11:29 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | ardchoille, check your file associations and make sure that kate is not the default application to open that type of files. | 11:29 |
| ardchoille | gundam_rx78nt1: That file type isn't in file associations | 11:29 |
| eagles0513875 | gundam_rx78nt1: i think this is what ur referring to http://blog.taragana.com/index.php/archive/specific-rumors-on-java-os-based-google-phone-running-on-linux/ | 11:30 |
| nathan_ | ok well i still dunna wtf to do | 11:30 |
| ardchoille | nathan_: Trying to install the nvidia driver? | 11:30 |
| nathan_ | yeah i dunno what to type in terminal to install the linux drivers that are on my video card cd? :/ | 11:31 |
| ardchoille | nathan_: Which card? | 11:31 |
| nathan_ | asus 8600gt 256mb | 11:31 |
| grul | aren't there any readme files? | 11:31 |
| lg188 | first pers shooters ? | 11:31 |
| nathan_ | i can't view my cd content | 11:31 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | what is the extension for xmms skins? | 11:31 |
| ardchoille | gundam_rx78nt1: They are normally in .tar.gz packages, but some are in .wsx files. Regardless, konqueror should download them | 11:32 |
| eagles0513875 | down with microsoft | 11:33 |
| eagles0513875 | down with microsoft and ther drm | 11:33 |
| ardchoille | eagles0513875: That is ot an option, I won't allow a garbage OS in my house :P | 11:34 |
| eagles0513875 | ardchoille: lol im never goign back to it i need to get WoW setup on here | 11:34 |

| Webbmaster | btw, anyone here use the bbc website? | 11:35 |
| === ubuntu is now known as aziegler | ||
| Webbmaster | http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/linuxbbc/ <- tell them | 11:35 |
| eagles0513875 | i think my problems r solved | 11:36 |
| eagles0513875 | i installed the program that i used in winblows to convert the audio to wma and now im going to try convert them to flac | 11:36 |
| jpatrick | eagles0513875: what -dev packages did you have to install for this? | 11:36 |
| eagles0513875 | jpatrick: the ones u mentioned | 11:36 |
| jpatrick | and that's it? | 11:36 |
| jpatrick | ok | 11:36 |
| eagles0513875 | ya | 11:36 |
| eagles0513875 | jpatrick: there is also one dependency | 11:36 |
| eagles0513875 | jpatrick: which has to be compiled from source as well | 11:36 |
| jpatrick | which? | 11:37 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | Ok, back to my problem. I deleted the xorg.conf file, but my system still comes up in KDE at a resolution of 1280x1024 which is great. If I then make/save the xorg.conf file, the highest resolution I get it 1024x768. What is going on with this? | 11:37 |
| jpatrick | eagles0513875: taglib? you can install libtag1-dev | 11:37 |
| eagles0513875 | jpatrick: taglibg i downloaded 0.6 they have 0.7 beta out | 11:37 |
| eagles0513875 | jpatrick: didnt know that they were one in the same | 11:37 |
| eagles0513875 | time for the moment of conversion truth | 11:37 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | ardchoille, use firefox. I know it is not the answer you want, but you can also right click on the download link and save it that way. | 11:37 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | In konqueror. | 11:38 |
| === Sereg is now known as Serega | ||
| ardchoille | gundam_rx78nt1: Right clicking on that download link saves the download.php file, not the skin | 11:38 |
| lg188 | someone knows a 1persen shooter | 11:38 |
| eagles0513875 | !games |lg188 | 11:39 |
| ubotu | lg188: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php | 11:39 |
| eagles0513875 | lg188: take a look at that list | 11:39 |
| lg188 | eagles0513875 ty ^.^ | 11:40 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | ardchoille, you just rename the file before you save it to <filename>.wsz and it will save it. | 11:41 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I just finished trying it. | 11:41 |
| ardchoille | gundam_rx78nt1: And how do I know which extension to give it? | 11:41 |
| eagles0513875 | damn it it seems that when i converted them to wmas it also drmed all my music | 11:41 |
| eagles0513875 | any one know of anything that will remove the drm | 11:41 |
| eagles0513875 | !drm | 11:42 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about drm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 11:42 |
| eagles0513875 | jpatrick: this would be nice to have in repos as well | 11:43 |
| eagles0513875 | http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=130055 | 11:43 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | if it is a .tar.gz it will download correctly, if it is a wsz, you will need to rename it. Now, if it open up in kate, the title bar will have the file name and extension. | 11:44 |
| lg188 | tremulous ? i cant instal it | 11:44 |
| goodhabit | I cannot start my nvidia card. The error is - cannot load nvidia kernel modules. | 11:44 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | then just right click on it and save it with the name and extension from the kate title bar that you saw. | 11:45 |
| eagles0513875 | lg188: u should be able to i had no problems i have it and it works fine | 11:45 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I would suggest to use firefox. | 11:45 |
| lg188 | eagles0513875 somthing of independit | 11:45 |
| ardchoille | gundam_rx78nt1: That is my point, it shoudln't open in kate, it should download the file. | 11:45 |
| jpatrick | eagles0513875: it's 1) closed-source 2) not KDE :) | 11:45 |
| lg188 | eagles0513875 i did it with konsole | 11:45 |
| eagles0513875 | jpatrick: just noticed that | 11:45 |
| eagles0513875 | lg188: i dunno then | 11:45 |
| lg188 | eagles0513875 ? | 11:46 |
| lg188 | eagles0513875 dunno ? | 11:46 |
| lg188 | eagles0513875 undo ? | 11:46 |
| eagles0513875 | lg188: i dunno why its not working for ya | 11:46 |
| lg188 | Resolving dependencies... | 11:47 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | it all depends on how konqueror detects the link and file content if I am not mistaken. It will try to open it as text. You can try to go to #konqueror and ask the developers if they are online. | 11:47 |
| lg188 | dependencies can not be resolvd | 11:47 |
| eagles0513875 | lg188: does it give u a list of dependencies to download | 11:47 |
| eagles0513875 | lg188: its easier to do the cli | 11:48 |
| ardchoille | gundam_rx78nt1: Ok, thanks | 11:48 |
| eagles0513875 | lg188: type this in konsole sudo apt-get install tremulous | 11:48 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | you're welcome. | 11:48 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | Ok, back to my problem. I deleted the xorg.conf file, but my system still comes up in KDE at a resolution of 1280x1024 which is great. If I then make/save the xorg.conf file, the highest resolution I get it 1024x768. What is going on with this? | 11:49 |
| lg188 | eagles0513875 its says : tremulous-data is missing cant instal | 11:49 |
| emilsedgh | gundam_rx78nt1: did you try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg? | 11:49 |

| TheWozA | hey guys im having trouble with my kubuntu install im trying to install firefox but after i type su and it asks for my password it says authentication fail even tho i type my pass right | 12:42 |
| ardchoille | Captain_Redbeard: So kde4 beta 1, kde4 beta2, kde4 beta3 were all in the repos? | 12:42 |
| ardchoille | !sudo | TheWozA | 12:42 |
| ubotu | TheWozA: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 12:42 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ardchoille, yup | 12:42 |
| ardchoille | TheWozA: sudo apt-get install firefox | 12:43 |
| ardchoille | Captain_Redbeard: That's highly unusual | 12:43 |
| emilsedgh | thats mozilla-firefox i think? | 12:43 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ardchoille, beta1 was even available for both feisty and gutsy :P | 12:43 |
| ardchoille | emilsedgh: No, it's just "firefox" | 12:44 |
| TheWozA | thx arch | 12:44 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ardchoille, I guess I could add the debian repos to lay my hands on it... but it would be nice not having to do that :P | 12:44 |
| ardchoille | emilsedgh: apt-cache search --names-only firefox | 12:44 |
| ardchoille | TheWozA: yw | 12:44 |
| emilsedgh | so, sorry for that ardchoille | 12:44 |
| ardchoille | Captain_Redbeard: Adding repos for other distros is not a good idea | 12:44 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ardchoille, that's what I'm saying :P However when it comes to KDE4 the packages install to be able to live alongside kde3 so it shouldn't really pose a problem | 12:45 |
| ardchoille | emilsedgh: There are some nice firefox extensions with the name mozilla-firefox-* | 12:45 |
| emilsedgh | ardchoille: i use konqueror :D | 12:46 |
| ardchoille | emilsedgh: me too | 12:46 |

| Jucato | Captain_Redbeard: perhaps today or tomorrow (for kde4 beta4 | 12:46 |
| max__ | buon giorno | 12:47 |
| ardchoille | I keep hearing people say kde4 isn't usable atm. How true is that? | 12:47 |
| dfaure | can anyone check if they have both /etc/cron.daily/find.notslocate + /etc/cron.weekly/slocate on their system? or is it just me due to upgrade issues? | 12:47 |
| Captain_Redbeard | Jucato, ok... I'm just baffled due to the other betas being released within hours of the official announcment | 12:48 |
| emilsedgh | ardchoille: not much true | 12:48 |
| emilsedgh | ardchoille: most of the applications are in a very good, usable and stable shape | 12:48 |
| ardchoille | dfaure: I have the first one, not the second one (Gutsy Gibbon here installed from livecd) | 12:48 |
| ardchoille | emilsedgh: Ah, ok | 12:48 |
| lg188 | wat is the url of this channnel ? | 12:48 |
| ardchoille | it is #kubuntu | 12:48 |

| Captain_Redbeard | ardchoille, well the previous betas hasn't really been worth mentioning.. they have more alpha-like imo, however the word is that beta4 is a huge improvement | 12:49 |
| ardchoille | emilsedgh: is plasma similar to superkaramba? | 12:49 |
| emilsedgh | ardchoille: but will be done in time | 12:49 |
| Jucato | Captain_Redbeard: Riddel is busy at UDS, other people who know the kde4 packages enough are also busy. the build system is a bit tied up due to merging from Debian Sid (taking snapshots) | 12:49 |
| Jucato | ardchoille: I haven't updated mine to to beta4 so I can't really say | 12:49 |
| emilsedgh | ardchoille: nooo | 12:49 |
| lg188 | wat is the url to this channnel ? | 12:49 |
| Jucato | whoa! dfaure's in here? O.o | 12:49 |
| * Jucato is shocked | 12:49 | |
| dfaure | Jucato: yeah, just trying to sort out why updatedb is run twice by cron :) | 12:50 |
| ardchoille | lg188: your question has been answered more than once | 12:50 |
| emilsedgh | ardchoille: Plasma is mix of superkaramba, panel and desktop, very better | 12:50 |
| ardchoille | emilsedgh: Oh, nice | 12:50 |
| Jucato | :/ | 12:50 |
| * lg188 helps Jucato out his shock | 12:50 | |
| * Jucato is still shocked | 12:50 | |
| emilsedgh | ardchoille: but there is no code from them | 12:50 |
| * emilsedgh joins Jucato, shocked | 12:51 | |
| Captain_Redbeard | emilsedgh, that's a bit unfair.. it's completly rewritten and has little in common with superkaramba other than its support for its widgets... I would rather label it as an element motor with widget capabilities... | 12:51 |
| * lg188 helps Jucato out his shock with tose things with eectro thing | 12:51 | |
| * lg188 helps emilsedgh out his shock with tose things with eectro thing | 12:51 | |
| ardchoille | So plasma will be able to use superkaramba widgets/themes? | 12:52 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ardchoille, yes as well as macosx widgets | 12:52 |
| ardchoille | o.O | 12:52 |
| ardchoille | Wow | 12:52 |
| lg188 | ardchoille ?? | 12:52 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ardchoille, it's also the engine behind the desktop and the panel... | 12:52 |
| lg188 | ardchoille wat is it then i dint see it | 12:53 |
| ardchoille | Captain_Redbeard: I usually have so many windows open that I never see my desktop | 12:53 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ardchoille, thus the whole desktop layout and architecture will be very flexible.... | 12:53 |
| ardchoille | <dfaure> lg188: channels have names, not urls :) | 12:53 |
| emilsedgh | Captain_Redbeard: but they have the idea of 'widgets', and plasma is superkaramba + panel + desktop... | 12:53 |
| Captain_Redbeard | ardchoille, I sign on that ;) But apparently you are going to be able to put the desktop "on top" of your ordinary windows... so you can have a glance at it without having to minimize all your windows | 12:54 |
| ardchoille | Captain_Redbeard: orly? That should be nice to see | 12:55 |
| Captain_Redbeard | emilsedgh, no... it may have the functionality of those elements... but it has nothing to do with them as applications :P | 12:55 |

| Captain_Redbeard | ardchoille, yea :) furthermore it is native composite enabled... so "compiz-like" effects and plugins will also be usable | 12:55 |
| emilsedgh | Captain_Redbeard: :P | 12:55 |
| ardchoille | One of my complaints about superkaramba is that I never figured out how to bring one certain widget to the front without having to minimise all apps | 12:55 |
| Jucato | are we still talking about Plasma? O.o | 12:56 |
| * ardchoille hides | 12:56 | |
| Captain_Redbeard | ardchoille, yea I know... I struggle with that on a daily basis... I wrote a widget a couple of days ago that I use here at work... but I never get to use it since it's alwayd hidden behind windows :P | 12:56 |

| frojnd | Hello there. Does anyone here has ati drivers sucessfully installed but he/she can't get compiz to work? I can't enable any of Visual effects. I get note: Desktop effects could not be enabled. Here is my xorg.conf output: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43016/ | 13:00 |

| ThePianoGuy | why does gdebi-kde eat ~640MB system ram when installing a package? | 13:06 |
| emilsedgh | bobiras_: what? | 13:06 |

| TheWozA | lol thx | 13:09 |
| TheWozA | and solly for langwadge | 13:09 |
| emilsedgh | TheWozA: if you didnt find the resolution you want at there, then go to terminal and run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 13:10 |
| ardchoille | sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 13:10 |
| bobiras_ | the xine is an extension of amarok? | 13:10 |
| ardchoille | bobiras_: I don't think so | 13:11 |
| emilsedgh | bobiras_: lol, no, you better try to install kmplayer to watch video | 13:11 |
| emilsedgh | bobiras_: amarok do not play video...its just for you to rediscover your 'music' | 13:12 |
| ardchoille | Got quiet in here | 13:12 |

| Jucato | gutsy's... um... gutsy :) | 13:15 |
| dfaure | not sure if worth a bug report, kernel is already 2.6.23/24-rc1 (gutsy is 2.6.22 iirc) | 13:15 |

| Rudd-O | hai guise, kdebeta for kubuntu? | 13:20 |
| Rudd-O | I mean the real beta? | 13:20 |
| Jucato | none yet | 13:20 |
| Rudd-O | sup juan | 13:21 |
| Rudd-O | how long? do you need help getting them out? | 13:21 |
| Rudd-O | I mean them packages | 13:21 |
| Jucato | Rudd-O: it's coming. probably in a day or two | 13:21 |
| emilsedgh | Rudd-O: real beta? what does 'real' means? is there any 'fake' beta!? | 13:21 |
| richard | I'm having problems with choppy video play and slow compiz using the newest ATi driver...anyone know about that? | 13:21 |
| Jucato | people are just busy, and the build system is busy too | 13:21 |
| Rudd-O | are there .dsc files I can use to build kdebeta? | 13:23 |
| Rudd-O | maybe I can help build it | 13:23 |
| Jucato | afaik, they're already in the queue, waiting | 13:23 |
| Rudd-O | oic | 13:23 |
| Rudd-O | jonathan around? | 13:23 |
| Rudd-O | (riddell) | 13:23 |
| Jucato | he is at UDS right now. but he's nick is always around :) | 13:24 |
| Rudd-O | :-) | 13:25 |
| Rudd-O | quick question: arts is dead on kde4 right? | 13:25 |
| ses59_ | found the program I needed under applet on tool bar thanks | 13:25 |
| Rudd-O | how does kttsd, knotify and friends issue sound now? | 13:25 |
| Jucato | Rudd-O: with Phonon, you can use whatever backend you wish. but yeah arts is practically dead | 13:26 |
| Jucato | phonon is the sound system now | 13:26 |
| Rudd-O | finally! | 13:26 |
| Rudd-O | ok but phonon I understood it to be something like an abstraction layer between apps and the gstramers/xinelibs of the world | 13:26 |
| dfaure | yes | 13:26 |
| Rudd-O | this is much more to the point -- playback of synthesized voices and sound events | 13:26 |
| Rudd-O | hey david | 13:26 |
| Riddell | Rudd-O: hmm? | 13:27 |
| Rudd-O | sup Riddell | 13:27 |
| Jucato | Rudd-O: basically yes. again, with phonon, you're not limited to a single backend. you can use whatever backend you want | 13:27 |
| Rudd-O | I'm assuming knotify plays event sounds and kttsd plays voices througn phonon api calls now? | 13:27 |
| Jucato | (well theoretically) | 13:27 |
| Rudd-O | omg I woke up david and jonathan | 13:27 |
| Rudd-O | hai guise | 13:27 |
| Rudd-O | reading planet kde atm | 13:27 |
| Rudd-O | :-) | 13:28 |
| dfaure | phonon api calls: yes. | 13:28 |
| Jucato | you're done for :) | 13:28 |
| dfaure | and then they end up in xinelib by default | 13:28 |
| dfaure | which seems to have a number of issues :) | 13:28 |
| Rudd-O | yes it does | 13:28 |
| Rudd-O | in amarok the pulseoutput plugin of xine causes a 15 sec delay when paused | 13:28 |
| Rudd-O | (already reported the bug) | 13:28 |
| dfaure | up to now I saw deadlocks, very hich cpu usage, and crashes. | 13:28 |
| Rudd-O | I ask because currently my pulse is giving me trouble with arts, arts continually respawns fora while then it works, then it dies, then it continually respawns again | 13:29 |
| Rudd-O | if xinelib and mplayer were horses in a race, I'd say the odds against them would be 1-80 | 13:29 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | trivia question for all you kubuntu masters, what will cause my time advance? I mean, the clock on my system only when I run linux advances about 30-40 minutes in about 5 hours. | 13:29 |
| Rudd-O | I'm not entirely sure about xinelib, but mplayer is a cesspool of bugs | 13:29 |
| maris | hi | 13:29 |
| Rudd-O | gundam_rx78nt1: usually the kernel is firing timer interrupts faster, you should install ntp and have it correct the time drift | 13:30 |
| kaod | sine I upgraded to gutsy I can't mount my ntfs partitions with ntfs-3g, I get a ''resource in use" error... is this my fault ? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling ntfs-3g but nothing changes | 13:30 |

| Rudd-O | nono it was on my dpkg-new | 13:48 |
| Rudd-O | I just confirmed it | 13:48 |
| Riddell | dfaure: the broken bit is having two scripts which do the same thing at all, the package maintainer much not have thought very hard about it | 13:49 |
| dfaure | Riddell: yes. I'm just pointing out that evaluating .dpkg-new files is also broken imho (unrelated to this actual bug), because you get things done twice in those .d kind of dirs | 13:49 |
| Rudd-O | dfaure: that's right | 13:50 |

| Rudd-O | |neon|: you should not install Xgl | 13:51 |
| ardchoille | Quel: Your first priority should be to fix the sudo problem | 13:51 |

| Quel | i just installed and boot without cD | 13:52 |
| Quel | now sudo apt-get update wants a password | 13:52 |
| Rudd-O | guise I don't know if you noticed, but when the computer logs in safe mode, it asks for a root password. ubuntu doens't have one by default, how to fix a system that asks for the rootpw if you can't log in as root? | 13:52 |
| ardchoille | Quel: That's your user password it wants | 13:52 |

| Rudd-O | and now it does | 13:53 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Quel: no | 13:53 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | !sudo | 13:53 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 13:53 |
| Rudd-O | Quel: no, your account is your account | 13:53 |
| Quel | but why is root password my accountpassword? | 13:53 |
| Rudd-O | sudo only lets you run commands temporarily as root | 13:53 |
| Rudd-O | sudo asks you for *your* psasword | 13:53 |
| ardchoille | Quel: No, your account is a user account, but your user is an admin too.. you need to use sudo for admin tasks | 13:53 |
| Quel | i know, but why is it my account password? | 13:53 |
| Rudd-O | because sudo wants it to verify that a malignant hacker is not at the keyboard | 13:53 |
| ardchoille | Quel: There is no root password. read the sudo page | 13:53 |
| ardchoille | !sudo | 13:53 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 13:54 |
| Jucato | !root | 13:54 |
| ubotu | Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 13:54 |
| Quel | Rudd-O ah that could it be. :) Thanks | 13:54 |
| Rudd-O | haha guys I win :-p | 13:54 |
| Quel | i wondered so much, because login in as root is not secure | 13:54 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | well yeah | 13:54 |
| Rudd-O | do I get karma in launchpad for helping here? | 13:55 |
| Rudd-O | :-) | 13:55 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | that's why sudo exists to begin with | 13:55 |
| maris | bye gays =) thanks for help | 13:55 |
| ardchoille | Quel: Right, logging in as root is not necessary and should never be done | 13:55 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | erm... | 13:55 |
| Rudd-O | think of sudo as microsoft user account control, done right and by smart people, instead of wrong and by a committee of drooling retards | 13:55 |
| ardchoille | hahaha | 13:55 |
| rjune_ | Rudd-O: more like an exact copy of how Apple does it | 13:55 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | rjune_: that's what he said | 13:56 |
| ardchoille | iirc, apple uses sudo too | 13:56 |
| Rudd-O | apple uses sudo as well, exactly | 13:56 |
| Rudd-O | but I'm still waiting for the magical "sudo make me a sandwich" | 13:56 |

| Rudd-O | ohhhhh, are food and sleep also bad words? | 13:57 |
| rjune_ | beer and whiskey seem ok though. dunno why | 13:57 |
| Rudd-O | (I disagree with the policy as a matter of principle, but will comply in the future) | 13:57 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | we tend to have food, sleep, beer, and whiskey. therefore they aren't bad. | 13:58 |
| rjune_ | I have that other non discussable thing too. | 13:58 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | </joke> | 13:58 |

| gary | I have a question and I'd be very happy if someone could help me out with this | 14:22 |
| MasterShrek | ask away gary | 14:22 |
| gary | I just installed Slackware 12 on dvd | 14:22 |
| kaod | nope MasterShrek, I don't think so | 14:22 |
| MasterShrek | gary, this is an ubuntu channel, but slackware ftw :) | 14:22 |
| kaod | it's auto mounted to /media/, isn't it ? | 14:22 |
| MasterShrek | kaod, yes i believe so | 14:23 |
| gary | I know, but i'm kinda in a hurry :-( | 14:23 |
| kaod | then it's not mounted... /etc/fstab only points to my mount points, but it's not mounted | 14:23 |
| ole | so ask, what's the problem? | 14:23 |
| MasterShrek | kaod, is that the only thing it says? "resource in use" ? | 14:24 |
| gary | I want to know how I can start up the system in the KDE mode | 14:24 |
| gary | It boots up in text mode | 14:24 |
| gary | Anyone?? | 14:24 |

| MasterShrek | kaod, not really sure then, is there an entry for it in /etc/fstab? | 14:28 |
| kaod | yes, but it fails mounting too, I tried commenting it and mounting it by myself and I get the same error | 14:28 |
| kaod | so I think that the resource is in use even before the system is really booted-up | 14:28 |
| MasterShrek | kaod, and you are sure that is the ntfs partition not something like your swap partition or soemthing? | 14:29 |
| kaod | yeah, I'm sure | 14:30 |
| MasterShrek | hmm, then i dunno for sure | 14:31 |

| estoesderisa | Hello, I click on Knetworkmanager but doesnt start | 15:09 |
| lg188 | Jucato me sorry its my name and i like anonymus-ety of my name | 15:09 |
| llutz | alias is a shell builtin | 15:09 |
| Jucato | Vermux: you can make shortcuts to longer commands or a group of commands. | 15:10 |
| jpatrick | lg188: we don't want away messages flooding up the channel tho ;) | 15:10 |
| Vermux | Jucato: what will be example for the use of alias with top? | 15:11 |
| Jucato | dunno | 15:11 |
| lg188 | jpatrick wtf im sorry you dont have to be angry at me of being a beginer nobody telled me befor of that nick change thing | 15:11 |
| Jucato | lg188: that's why I did the !away thing | 15:12 |
| jpatrick | lg188: I wasn't angry, I was just saying | 15:12 |
| Vermux | Jucato: "Summary_Area: The program name is shown, perhaps a symlink or alias." | 15:12 |
| lg188 | Jucato/jpatrick kk i wil stay cool now ... | 15:12 |
| Jucato | Vermux: still don't know :) | 15:12 |
| Jucato | alias = "another name" | 15:13 |
| Vermux | Jucato: so alias can be shortcut for a name | 15:13 |
| Vermux | ? | 15:13 |
| Vermux | Jucato: ok, thanks | 15:13 |
| Jucato | the "program name" | 15:13 |

| MasterShrek | Vermux, example: alias rabbit="ssh 192.168.1.102" | 15:13 |
| Jucato | for example, I can alias apt-get to "superpowers"... so that when I call "superpowers", I'm actually calling apt-get | 15:13 |
| Jucato | probably that will show in top as well | 15:14 |
| MasterShrek | Vermux, now when i type rabbit on the command line it will ssh 192.168.1.102 | 15:14 |
| lg188 | Philip5-aWay ty =.= | 15:14 |

| jkimilu | i have really tried updating this distro and its really frustating | 15:36 |
| MasterShrek | ok back :) | 15:37 |
| jkimilu | Mastershrek so any progress | 15:37 |
| Jucato | LjL: you don't even need to have a long filename... just resize d3lphin to have a very narrow width, and the status bar increases its height to accommodate the contents | 15:38 |
| MasterShrek | jkimilu, did u pastebin your sources? | 15:38 |
| jkimilu | yes i did | 15:39 |
| MasterShrek | can you give me the link? | 15:39 |

| jim88 | hi all ... is there a fix for kdesudo in 7.10 yet? if not, how can I work around it denying some programs to run | 15:40 |
| MasterShrek | jim88, there was just an update for kdesudo, i just installed it today | 15:40 |
| jkimilu | got it?? | 15:40 |

| jkimilu | Mastershrek yeah am wondering where the proxy is coming in?? | 15:41 |
| LjL | Jucato, i mentioned that in the report. however i find it hard to consider it a "feature", given that 1) it makes selecting certain files hard or impossible 2) moving the mouse over such files results in the statusbar refreshing like mad | 15:42 |
| MasterShrek | i got no idea jkimilu | 15:42 |
| jkimilu | yet even in the synaptic pkgm there are no proxies specified | 15:42 |
| jkimilu | wow seems am in real trouble here | 15:42 |
| llutz | jkimilu: try "unset http_proxy sudo apt-get update" | 15:42 |
| Jucato | LjL: hence "feature"... it might have been a KDE 3 Dolphin bug that has been fixed in KDE 4... | 15:42 |
| Jucato | anyway have to brb | 15:43 |
| jkimilu | unset----command not found | 15:44 |

| jkimilu | am really wondering where the proxy issue is coming from | 15:47 |
| X314Z159 | okay. how do I find programs that are not listed in adept.. and how do I install them? | 15:47 |
| BluesKaj | source-o-matic looks the same as it was 2 weeks ago | 15:48 |
| ardchoille | X314Z159: The programs listed in adept are the apps in the repos, you can enable more repos to see more apps.. but that's about it. Otherwise, you can compile almost anything. | 15:48 |
| BluesKaj | X314Z159, you just have to search for the the apps you want on google or other search engines , then DL and compile | 15:50 |
| X314Z159 | how do I compile? | 15:50 |
| BluesKaj | !compile | 15:51 |

| X314Z159 | okay. thanks guys :D | 15:51 |
| draik | What would happen if I enabled the Feisty repos with Gutsy? | 15:51 |
| ardchoille | draik: That might break a lot of things | 15:52 |
| draik | ardchoille: Thanks. I figured as much but thought I'd ask. | 15:52 |
| jkimilu | anyone who has had an issue with apt-g3t?????? saying there's a proxy error?? | 15:52 |
| jkimilu | see my pastebin on sources.list:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43021/ | 15:53 |
| llutz | jkimilu: it's spelled "apt-get" and you should it use this way to be taken serious | 15:53 |
| BluesKaj | draik, I'm not "real impressed" with gutsy , but it will do for now ... at least there is an attempt to help us poor ATI owners with 3D and DRI using the restricted fglrx driver ...altho in my case google earth is slow and clunky , but it does work if you have patience | 15:54 |

| venik | so I take it that ppl have not reported a significant slowing down from 7.04 to 7.10? | 16:57 |
| hydrogen | no | 16:57 |
| smorg | venik: I haven't noticed anything... why? | 16:57 |
| X314Z159 | DaSkreech: well. no I'm manually installing a old libgtk -.- | 16:57 |
| venik | I have, so I was wondering why 7.10 is slower on my system | 16:58 |
| === Gunirus is now known as [Gunirus] | ||
| venik | especially in browsers | 16:58 |
| smorg | yes I have noticed that too, but only since installing compiz | 16:58 |
| W8TAH|Class | venik: mine is faster if anything | 16:58 |
| venik | I did not install any of those fancy things | 16:59 |
| smorg | hm | 16:59 |
| smorg | check out kde system guard? | 16:59 |
| venik | W8TAH-- did you UPGRADE or installed fresh? | 16:59 |
| smorg | see if anything is being a hog | 16:59 |
| supert0nes | does anyone know why kaffeine brings up shadow windows in compiz that even after closing the program dont go away? | 16:59 |
| X314Z159 | DaSkreech: and the issue is that there is a newer version so it wont install the old one. | 16:59 |
| venik | smorg-- How do I do that? | 16:59 |
| smorg | k menu/system | 16:59 |
| smorg | its a nice front end for ps basically | 17:00 |
| hydrogen | ctrl-escape works as well | 17:00 |
| smorg | ah thx for the tip hydrogen ^^ | 17:01 |
| venik | Thanks-- ctrl-escape seems a useful thing | 17:01 |
| smorg | on that note... anyone happen to know why compiz makes firefox so godaweful slow for me? | 17:02 |
| smorg | particularly just page scrolling | 17:02 |
| smorg | I don't think it has anything to do with the slider widget since nothing else is as bad as firefox | 17:02 |
| venik | what process is artsd? That one seems busy | 17:03 |
| smorg | its a daemon for sound hardware | 17:04 |
| jpatrick | venik: artsd is the sound server | 17:04 |
| smorg | I had some major issues with it for a long time after installing the opensound driver for my audio interface | 17:05 |
| venik | what are the different colors in the System Load display (for physical memory)? | 17:08 |
| === Thug-life is now known as Death_roW | ||
| DaSkreech | X314Z159: Why do you want an old one? | 17:09 |
| supert0nes | so no one else gets shadow windows when openning kaffeine in compiz? | 17:10 |
| venik | so-- running only Konversation and the System Guard, uses up 647 mb of RAM...! | 17:10 |
| smorg | wow man | 17:11 |
| venik | I usually also have Opera, Firefox, and Thunderbird open, when I am not using OpenOffice or Latex editing | 17:11 |
| Chousuke | venik: are you sure it's not cache? | 17:11 |
| smorg | i've got vmware running xp going fullscreen on my other desktop and firefox, dolphin, and irc on this one | 17:11 |
| venik | this system is a memory hog! | 17:11 |
| smorg | and i've only got 512 mb of ram | 17:11 |
| Chousuke | venik: how much RAM do you have? | 17:11 |
| smorg | runs without toooo much swapping | 17:11 |
| venik | 1 gb | 17:11 |
| pass | dolphin sucks. period. | 17:12 |
| Chousuke | venik: well then that sounds about right. | 17:12 |
| venik | I agree-- it seems very sluggish | 17:12 |
| pass | no multi tabbing, crashes. | 17:12 |
| Chousuke | venik: assuming it's cache | 17:12 |
| smorg | Pass: I like it better than konq file browser | 17:12 |
| pass | smorg: it crash! | 17:12 |
| smorg | never for me | 17:12 |
| pass | smorg: and no multi tabbing | 17:12 |
| Chousuke | venik: what does "top" say about memory usage? | 17:12 |
| venik | I actually prefer Krusader-- more like to good old Norton COmmander | 17:12 |
| DaSkreech | venik: Being a memory hog is a good thing | 17:12 |
| venik | top? | 17:12 |
| pass | smorg: and it creates those anooying .dol3phin files | 17:12 |
| Chousuke | venik: run top in a terminal | 17:13 |
| smorg | yeah I should really start looking into a better alterntive | 17:13 |
| Chousuke | and paste the lines at the top that have stuff about memory. | 17:13 |
| pass | smorg: :-D | 17:13 |
| smorg | is there anything more remanicint of windows explorer with mulitple tree views that also supports tabs? | 17:13 |
| smorg | thats the one gripe i have with all of the linux graphical filesystem browsers so far is that even if there are multiple tree views, they run independantly | 17:14 |
| venik | 106 total running, average load 0.16 (with only two apps running | 17:14 |
| Chousuke | venik: memory usage, not process statistics :P | 17:14 |
| smorg | not like explorer where theres one for folders and one for files within folders | 17:14 |
| Chousuke | venik: anyway, as long as your machine isn't swapping, you can just ignore the fact that apps use memory at all. | 17:14 |
| DaSkreech | smorg: Konqui? | 17:14 |
| Chousuke | venik: it simply doesn't matter :) | 17:15 |
| smorg | possibly | 17:15 |
| pass | smorg: you can run indipendent process for folder browsing with windows explorer as well | 17:15 |
| venik | 650mb used-- same as the GUI program said | 17:15 |
| Chousuke | venik: paste the whole line | 17:15 |
| Chousuke | venik: what I'm suggesting here is that most of that 650MB is cache. | 17:16 |
| Chousuke | venik: which you want it to be. | 17:16 |
| Chousuke | I mean, if you have 1GB of RAM, and only 512MB is used, what is the other half, if not useless? | 17:17 |
| pass | linux uses 100% ram all the time, apps, cache and buffered ram. | 17:17 |
| Chousuke | pass: well, close to 100% anyway | 17:17 |
| Chousuke | using 100% all the time would be ideal, but pretty difficult to achieve /: | 17:17 |
| pass | ok 99% if u insist. | 17:18 |
| venik | The konsole won't let me copy and paste the line, but it says that 650 mb is used, 379 are available | 17:18 |
| Chousuke | venik: what does it say about cache? | 17:18 |
| Chousuke | venik: also, copying the line is just painting it with the mouse | 17:19 |
| Chousuke | venik: middle-click pastes :) | 17:19 |
| DaSkreech | X314Z159: Still there? | 17:19 |
| Chousuke | venik: anyway, as long as you have some free RAM and you're not swapping, there's not problem. | 17:20 |
| Chousuke | -t | 17:20 |
| DaSkreech | venik: if you open like 5 more apps | 17:20 |
| DaSkreech | It will probably use thesame amount | 17:20 |
| venik | when they learn to program, this could work. Anyway, swap: 3028212k total; 35488 used | 17:20 |
| pass | venik: open konsole and type: free | 17:21 |
| pass | copy and paste the line here | 17:21 |
| venik | no-- when I had TB, Opera and Firefox open, it was using 850mb | 17:21 |
| Chousuke | venik: that sounds fine. you have a lot of swap though :P | 17:21 |
| ftacolombia | hola pietro | 17:21 |
| kamui | I just started working with permissions...is there a way to make files inherit the group and permissions of its parent folder by default? | 17:21 |
| Chousuke | venik: still okay, as long as it's not swapping actively :) | 17:21 |
| Chousuke | and you will notice when it starts swapping | 17:22 |
| venik | total used free shared buffers cached | 17:22 |
| venik | Mem: 1035144 655684 379460 0 25748 431420 | 17:22 |
| venik | -/+ buffers/cache: 198516 836628 | 17:22 |
| venik | Swap: 3028212 35488 2992724 | 17:22 |
| Chousuke | so yeah | 17:22 |
| venik | yes, I understand the concept of swapping when RAM is exhausted | 17:22 |
| JuJuBee | I jsut installed a smartboard in my classroom. How do I make the SMARTBoardService startup when I boot the computer? I have to start it manually now... | 17:23 |
| Chousuke | hmm, I'm not so sure I understand free's output properly | 17:23 |
| pass | what is there to understand? | 17:23 |
| Chousuke | well, the -/+ buffers/cache part | 17:23 |
| pass | USED ram - cached ram - buffers ram = ram being used by applications | 17:24 |
| DaSkreech | kamui: yes | 17:24 |
| DaSkreech | !permissions | 17:24 |
| Chousuke | does it mean his "real" RAM usage is about 200MB? :) | 17:24 |
| ubotu | The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux | 17:24 |
| Chousuke | doesn't sound too bad :P | 17:24 |
| pass | <venik> -/+ buffers/cache: 198516 836628 this means: | 17:24 |
| pass | 198516 ram is used by apps | 17:24 |
| Chousuke | heh | 17:24 |
| pass | 836628 ram free | 17:24 |
| pass | d'accord? | 17:25 |
| Chousuke | okay | 17:25 |
| Chousuke | so no problem :P | 17:25 |
| venik | the only two things I am running is Konversation (so I could type to you'all) and The SystemGuard | 17:25 |
| pass | yep, no problem at all. | 17:25 |
| venik | I am glad you are happy-- so why is it slower than 7.04? | 17:25 |
| Chousuke | venik: you're also running a ~100 other processes | 17:25 |
| pass | venik, it's ok. you got 836628 ram free and only 198516 is being used by applications | 17:25 |
| smorg | how do you change the default program that the kde shell runs programs in | 17:25 |
| venik | correction: LINUX is running those | 17:25 |
| Chousuke | well you're running KDE too | 17:26 |
| venik | ;-( | 17:26 |
| Chousuke | that makes up about ~20 processes | 17:26 |
| Chousuke | of not mre. | 17:26 |
| Chousuke | if not more' | 17:26 |
| smorg | aah nvm | 17:26 |
| smorg | 'remember application type' | 17:26 |
| Chousuke | venik: anyway, slowness may be just because of slow app code. | 17:26 |
| venik | ok, guys. THanks for the help. I was just wondering whether I was alone in this, or others have noticed a slowing down upun Upgrading | 17:27 |
| Chousuke | venik: but it's definitely not because you're running out of RAM :) | 17:27 |
| venik | maybe the new versions of Opera and Firefox are slower | 17:27 |
| venik | that is always a possibility | 17:27 |
| pass | actually since i gone to 7.10 it is much faster for me | 17:27 |

| blendtux | yes but its saying that the module is in use, how can i see wich proces are using a certain module | 17:29 |
| pass | but it will only remove it NOW, not in startup | 17:29 |
| blendtux | i know i have to play with the index, to get my cards loaded in the way i want | 17:29 |
| pass | lsmod to see what other modules use it | 17:29 |
| blendtux | what i dont understand is that linux is still not good with multiple sound devices | 17:30 |
| blendtux | for example when i plugin my usb headset, you would expect that you get the sound in your headset but no, you have to configure config files by hand, remove modules and load the modules for the headset again :( | 17:31 |
| blendtux | something so trivial, its like if the developers at cananocal dont use headsets | 17:31 |
| hdevalence | how do i set an ext3 partition in the fstab so it will be writable by my normal user | 17:38 |
| nocivo | kde ? gnome? | 17:39 |
| nocivo | hi | 17:39 |
| llutz | hdevalence: use chown/chmod to do so | 17:39 |
| nocivo | i can ubuntu. | 17:39 |
| nocivo | for install kde in ubuntu is? sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 17:39 |
| hdevalence | llutz: won't I have to do that every time I boot though? | 17:40 |
| llutz | hdevalence: it's not job of fstab because ext3 is a linux-filesystem with rights-management | 17:40 |
| llutz | hdevalence: no, why should you? | 17:40 |
| llutz | hdevalence: mount it and set desired permissions then | 17:40 |
| hdevalence | llutz so if I mount it in /home/harry/vm and that dir is owned by me, when it mounts, i will have write access? | 17:41 |
| llutz | hdevalence: no | 17:42 |
| hdevalence | so I need to chmod after I mount it? | 17:42 |
| llutz | hdevalence: example: sudo mount /dev/sdXY /home/harry/vm && sudo chown -R harry:harry /home/harry/vm | 17:43 |
| llutz | hdevalence: makes you owner of that dir (mounted partition) | 17:44 |
| === shinkamui is now known as kamui | ||
| llutz | hdevalence: but be carefull, it changes ownership of all existant files. maybe not what you want | 17:44 |
| DaSkreech | blendtux: lsmod | 17:45 |
| hdevalence | llutz: it's ok, it's a new partition | 17:45 |
| blendtux | i have it already | 17:45 |
| DaSkreech | nocivo: yes sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 17:45 |
| blendtux | i needed to know wich process are using my sound module | 17:45 |

| gilles_ | I couldn't have the 3d with my nvidia 7600 gs and today I do an update of nvidia-glx-new and other 2 package but I have errors : /sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1.0.9755 is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start. | 17:56 |
| e-m00 | rgreening im assuming you followed the ndiswrapper guide verbatim | 17:56 |
| gilles_ | I don't understand what it is ? | 17:56 |
| e-m00 | rgreening do iwconfig and whatever interface the wireless is do iwlist <interface> scan | 17:57 |
| e-m00 | and see if it comes up with anything | 17:57 |
| rgreening | e-m00: yep. I've used it in the past prior to Knetworkmanager. I can even connect if I do everything either Manual or simply tell it the ESSID. It just doesn't see the broadcaseted ESSID's,not do any auto connect... | 17:57 |
| nosrednaekim | rgreening: does iwlist scan show anything? | 17:58 |
| === [Gunirus] is now known as Gunirus | ||

| rgreening | weird | 17:58 |
| e-m00 | that is weird | 17:58 |
| andyho623 | ok.. even with dolphin it's not letting me in the drive | 17:59 |
| rgreening | I've been playing with it for a while. I don't want to use wicd, bit I may have to | 17:59 |
| nosrednaekim | rgreening: whats it say..."hidden"? | 17:59 |
| rgreening | nosrednaekim : no. they are all broadcast visible | 17:59 |

| mneisen | Hi, i use bzr and bzrtools on Kubuntu. My problem: bzr is always released well before bzrtools, so apt wants to upgrade bzr and remove bzrtools. Is there any way to solve this? | 18:00 |
| andyho623 | I still get Unable to enter file://media/sdf1. You do not have access rights to this location. | 18:00 |
| nosrednaekim | andyho623: go into system settings->advanced->disks and partitions and set a mount point/do it right, from there | 18:00 |
| andyho623 | yes I already set the mount point from there and enabled it | 18:01 |
| nosrednaekim | andyho623: did you set ti to be able to be mounted and acecssed by all users? | 18:02 |
| eagles0513875 | is anyone having issues in gutsy 64bit | 18:03 |
| eagles0513875 | with amarok | 18:03 |

| nosrednaekim | eagles0513875: nope | 18:03 |
| nosrednaekim | eagles0513875: that would be java, correct? | 18:03 |
| eagles0513875 | azureus is a java bit torrent client | 18:03 |
| andyho623 | nos:yes I set the mount permission as any user may enable/disable | 18:04 |
| eagles0513875 | for me azureus starts then shuts down | 18:04 |
| eagles0513875 | what other bit torrent clients r the for kubuntu | 18:04 |
| Cthuloid | ktorrent, eagles0512875 | 18:05 |

| Cthuloid | rtorrent, if you want to go console based | 18:06 |
| eagles0513875 | Cthuloid: thats gotta be quite interesting to use lol | 18:06 |

| Captain_Haddock | Anyone familiar with Ksysguard? I can't seem to find the section for temperature monitors? It apparently should be under ACPI, but there is no such section. | 18:11 |
| andyho623 | nos because that's what I was able to find and usually I like trying to figure out the terminal commands :) | 18:11 |
| nosrednaekim | andyho623: but that just ignores the fstab.. | 18:12 |
| andyho623 | even if you change the fstab in terminal?? | 18:12 |

| MagicCow | I've used Madwifi with no problem in standard Ubuntu, when I decided to install Kubuntu though, I just can't seem to get it to work. I get all the drivers installed, but when it's time to bring up my wireless connection, I get this: | 18:13 |
| MagicCow | desktop:~/Downloads/madwifi-0.9.3.3$ sudo ifconfig ath0 up | 18:13 |
| MagicCow | ath0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device | 18:13 |

| nosrednaekim | andyho623: correct | 18:14 |
| Captain_Haddock | JohnFlux: processor, thermal..., fan, battery, button etc. | 18:14 |
| nosrednaekim | Captain_Haddock: you may need to enable some sensors | 18:14 |
| nosrednaekim | !sensors | 18:14 |
| ubotu | You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto | 18:14 |
| JohnFlux | Captain_Haddock: in ksysguard, there should be an lmsensors 'directory' | 18:15 |
| nosrednaekim | MagicCow: did you modprobe it? | 18:15 |
| dave | is it possible to install realplayer on kubuntu gutsy? | 18:15 |
| MagicCow | Yes, I did. | 18:15 |
| Captain_Haddock | JohnFlux: I tried installing ksensors earlier which apparently installs the lm-sensor library. But there were no temperature options there either. | 18:15 |
| JohnFlux | Captain_Haddock: try what nosrednaekim said | 18:16 |
| JohnFlux | Captain_Haddock: don't know otherwise sorry | 18:16 |

| dave | lji, thanks | 18:17 |
| nosrednaekim | MagicCow: does the defualt madwifi driver not work? I noticed it seems you compiled it yourself | 18:17 |
| MagicCow | Well, I had heard that it should work out of the package, but it did not seem to. | 18:17 |
| MagicCow | So yes, I compiled it. | 18:18 |

| blendtux | yeah it seems that kubuntu is a second rated ubuntu, we are behind several months | 18:19 |
| JohnFlux | blendtux: i agree, but not in this case | 18:19 |
| supert0nes | we are waiting for kde4 | 18:19 |
| JohnFlux | right | 18:19 |
| JohnFlux | blendtux: kde4 will have its own comp manager. just means being patient for year though :( | 18:20 |
| JohnFlux | well, 6 months | 18:20 |
| MagicCow | I thought that gnome was pretty slow. | 18:20 |
| dave | ljl, yeah it works fine in ubuntu but when i try to install it on kubuntu gutsy it complains about a file that cannot be found in adept? | 18:20 |
| MagicCow | KDE seems a lot faster. | 18:20 |
| nosrednaekim | MagicCow: disable the default restricted driver in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules | 18:20 |
| MagicCow | k | 18:20 |
| nosrednaekim | dave: which one. | 18:21 |
| dave | mosrednaekim, justa sec | 18:21 |
| rgreening | compiz works fine here. | 18:22 |
| rgreening | After installing it, I ran compiz --replace & | 18:22 |
| rgreening | in a run command to verify | 18:22 |
| rgreening | Picked up my kde wondow decorations fine | 18:22 |
| dave | nosrednaekim, the libstdc++.so.5 | 18:23 |
| nosrednaekim | dave: search for libstdc in adept | 18:24 |
| dave | ok | 18:24 |
| Captain_Haddock | JohnFlux, nosrednaekim: The first comment on that page provided a nice and simple solution - thanks! | 18:24 |
| nosrednaekim | Captain_Haddock: NP | 18:25 |
| JohnFlux | Captain_Haddock: what was the solution? :-D | 18:25 |
| JohnFlux | bah I don't even know these things | 18:25 |
| JohnFlux | Captain_Haddock: the embarrassing part is i'm the ksysguard guy ;-) | 18:25 |
| Captain_Haddock | JohnFlux: installing lm-sensors and just running sudo sensor-detect and answering yes to everything :) | 18:25 |
| JohnFlux | Hmm | 18:26 |
| JohnFlux | I should try to add that in somehow :) | 18:26 |
| Captain_Haddock | Then I did a sudo modprobe <newly detected stuff> to enable them | 18:26 |
| JohnFlux | Captain_Haddock: don't suppose you want to go to bugs.kde.org and file a bug report at it and how you fixed it :) | 18:26 |
| BluesKaj | latest rumour about KDE4 is the official release date no longer being speculated by the devs ...speculation about a dateis being discouraged due to the many probs early adopters and testers are encountering. | 18:27 |

| Greeny | could anyone suggest a good desktop widget app | 18:29 |
| JohnFlux | I can see that they might try to be a month late or whatever | 18:29 |
| Greeny | for kde obviously | 18:29 |
| e-m00 | hmmm | 18:29 |
| JohnFlux | but it's important to get a release, to get people porting to it | 18:29 |
| nosrednaekim | Greeny: super karamba | 18:29 |
| dave | nosrednaekim,how do i di that? | 18:29 |

| e-m00 | oh well | 18:32 |
| nosrednaekim | dave: for realplayer? no | 18:34 |
| dave | nosrednaekim, ok thanks for the help | 18:34 |
| BluesKaj | nosrednaekim,, yes , but it's called informed speculation . I t's aconclusion I've come to after reading interviews and blogs with developers ...They're very non-commital about a release date :) | 18:34 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: :D | 18:35 |
| andyho623 | nos you still around? What do I need to alter in my fstab to get this to work? | 18:37 |

| ishumaru | can someone explain what this is for? | 18:42 |
| MagicCow | I know this is opening a can of worms, but I am new to linux and doing the "Newbie Tour" so far I've only tried Ubuntu and Kubuntu, what are some of the other recommended distros? I was curious about Mandriva, OpenSUSE, and PClinux. | 18:42 |
| eagles0513875 | anyone that work for canonical in here | 18:42 |
| MagicCow | Probably settle on something with KDE though. | 18:43 |
| eagles0513875 | MagicCow: alot of the others are rather resource intensive | 18:43 |
| jpatrick | eagles0513875: why? | 18:43 |
| mike-kubuntu | hey guys, i just put in a new nvidia video card | 18:43 |
| MagicCow | That's definately something I want to stay away from. | 18:43 |
| DaSkreech | X314Z159: Passing through | 18:43 |
| DaSkreech | X314Z159: did you apt-get it? | 18:43 |
| MagicCow | Would you say Ubuntu is the best balance between pretty and quick? | 18:43 |
| eagles0513875 | jpatrick: j/w cuz i read in a linux magazine that canonical is looking to create a mobile platform and i think i just found something that might rocket them forward on that development front | 18:43 |
| eagles0513875 | jpatrick: its also something open source | 18:43 |
| mike-kubuntu | and lspci makes it out to be a vga compatable controller: nvidia Coorperation GeForce 8600 gts (rev a1) | 18:43 |
| blendtux | MagicCow: it does not matter what distro you use, as long as you use kde as your desktop :) | 18:44 |
| mike-kubuntu | and i no longer have glx on display 0:0 | 18:44 |
| nosrednaekim | MagicCow: PClinux OS is nice and polished, not aas many apps tho. | 18:44 |
| webvictim | mike-kubuntu: using the right driver? | 18:44 |
| MagicCow | Aye, I would tend to agree :P | 18:44 |
| Ace2016 | MagicCow: try debian, its ubuntu but you never have to reinstall, but you will notice the difference between kubuntu's kde and debian's unmodified stock kde, the thing i miss most is the ctrl+alt+delete in kubuntu | 18:44 |
| eagles0513875 | MagicCow: kubuntu is the least resource intensive that ive found | 18:44 |
| jpatrick | nosrednaekim: that's cos they don't have me :) | 18:44 |
| mike-kubuntu | it shoudl be using nvidia's binary drivers, its what my last card was on and i just rebooted | 18:44 |
| nosrednaekim | mike-kubuntu: you need nvidia-glx-new | 18:44 |
| mike-kubuntu | do i need to run a dpkg-reconfigure on them? | 18:44 |
| dave | nosrednaekim, should i delete them or just uncheck them? | 18:44 |
| nosrednaekim | jpatrick: haha | 18:44 |
| nosrednaekim | dave: uncheck will work | 18:44 |
| mike-kubuntu | nosradnaekim: they just added support? | 18:45 |
| dave | nosrednaekim, ok thnaks again | 18:45 |
| dave | *thanks | 18:45 |
| DaSkreech | MagicCow: Maci si the best balance between Pretty and quick | 18:45 |
| MagicCow | Yeah, Kubuntu is nice.. I have had a little trouble getting some things to work properly, so I feel a slight bit of annoyance. | 18:45 |
| MagicCow | Hmm, never heard of that one. | 18:45 |
| TheGateKeeper | MagicCow: cut your teeth on (k)ubuntu then try installing Arch & maybe even gentoo | 18:45 |
| MagicCow | okay, I'll give it a go. | 18:46 |
| mike-kubuntu | ok, gonna try a restart | 18:46 |
| mike-kubuntu | brb | 18:46 |
| TheGateKeeper | MagicCow: really depends what you want from your distro | 18:46 |
| nosrednaekim | MagicCow: if you mean you had problems with your wireless, then that is VERY normal | 18:47 |
| MagicCow | Something that isn't a bare bones distro, but isn't a resource hog, and one that caters to the beginner. I liked ubuntu, but I found Gnome to be too slow, and Kubuntu seems great.. minus some of the problems. | 18:47 |
| MagicCow | nosrednaekim: Aye, that is what I mean. The restricted drivers thing.. couldn't figure that out. | 18:48 |
| MagicCow | I'm googling for a solution as we speak. | 18:48 |
| nosrednaekim | MagicCow: I just use ndiswrapper to make things easy | 18:48 |
| nosrednaekim | MagicCow: although my atheros is now supported | 18:48 |
| MagicCow | I tried that route, it didn't work, don't remember why. | 18:48 |
| MagicCow | Ah, yes, mine wasn't. | 18:49 |
| rfrancisco | hi | 18:49 |
| mike-kubuntu | installed nvidia-glx-new and its still not detected, is there a way i can check to make sure it's not still loading the old drivers? | 18:50 |
| nosrednaekim | mike-kubuntu: how did you load them? | 18:50 |
| mike-kubuntu | nosrednaekim: apt-get install nvidia-glx-new & reboot | 18:50 |
| nosrednaekim | mike-kubuntu: ah :) use the restricted-manager | 18:50 |
| nosrednaekim | MagicCow: ussually ndiswrapper works well... what atheros chipset do you have? | 18:52 |
| mike-kubuntu | aw, i think i messed up entering the kdesu password and now it wont let me into administrator mode, brb, gonna try a relogin | 18:52 |
| MagicCow | Ill find out | 18:53 |
| MagicCow | AR5416 | 18:54 |

| MagicCow | No. PCI card. | 18:55 |

| nosrednaekim | MagicCow: probably too new yeah | 18:56 |
| Captain_Haddock | JohnFlux: still here? | 18:56 |
| MagicCow | I've had it working with madwifi in ubuntu | 18:56 |
| nosrednaekim | MagicCow: did you say you got it working before? | 18:56 |
| MagicCow | Yes. | 18:56 |
| MagicCow | For some reason Kubuntu doesn't see ath0. | 18:56 |
| MagicCow | Where ubuntu had no problem. | 18:56 |
| nosrednaekim | MagicCow: you should installubuntu then, and "apt-get install kubuntu" | 18:57 |
| nosrednaekim | "kubuntu-desktop" | 18:57 |
| MagicCow | I had done that, is there a way to get rid of all of the gnome programs then? It was too crowded, so I did a full install of kubuntu. | 18:57 |
| Angelus | is it normal that kubuntu needs a reboot after using windows games and wine doesn't work anymore? | 18:58 |
| donsdw | After sfdisk -l, I get "Warning: extended partition does not start at a cylinder boundry". Is this normal? | 18:58 |
| llutz | Angelus: doesn't wineboot work? | 18:59 |
| nosrednaekim | MagicCow: so it worked in kde then? | 18:59 |
| MagicCow | Yes sir. | 18:59 |
| Angelus | no man | 18:59 |
| Angelus | i do winecfg | 18:59 |
| Angelus | nothing comes u | 19:00 |
| Angelus | *up | 19:00 |
| Angelus | i need to reboot the godamn computer for wine to work proparly again | 19:00 |
| Jucato | MagicCow: try this: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde | 19:00 |
| llutz | Angelus: winecfg? you should use wineboot | 19:00 |
| nosrednaekim | MagicCow: hmmm are you sure it was working int he default install? did you try the command line? | 19:00 |
| MagicCow | In the default install of Ubuntu? I had to install the madwifi drivers, but it worked. | 19:00 |
| DaSkreech | !purekde | MagicCow | 19:01 |
| ubotu | MagicCow: purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 19:01 |
| MagicCow | Hey, thanks. | 19:01 |
| MagicCow | That's perfect. | 19:01 |
| mike-kubuntu | cool, that worked, but for some reason i cant get into administrator mode, i had to use sudo restricted-manager-kde | 19:01 |
| mike-kubuntu | and i think i have to redo my usplash, anyone know the command for that? | 19:01 |
| nosrednaekim | mike-kubuntu: ah.. that probalem.. ok | 19:01 |
| MagicCow | Wish I knew that yesterday :D | 19:01 |
| mike-kubuntu | 1280 x 1024 is a valid screen resolution for a standard monitor, correct? | 19:04 |
| crazy6 | okey dokey, so I used the Restriced Modules manager to turn off fglrx (thought it was breaking hibernation), but now what to do about restoring xorg.conf? I didn't explicitely make a backup; | 19:04 |
| nosrednaekim | mike-kubuntu: if it supports that... yes | 19:04 |
| nosrednaekim | mike-kubuntu: any modern LCD over 15 inches should work w/ that | 19:05 |
| JohnFlux | Captain_Haddock: here now - wassup? | 19:05 |
| nosrednaekim | crazy6: its crashing? | 19:05 |
| crazy6 | nosrednaekim: doesn't start, saying fglrx isn't loaded... so I clearly still have the old config | 19:06 |
| crazy6 | nosrednaekim: I didn't o a backup by hand; is there any way to re-run the auto-config that is done at install? or should I just reinstall now and save time? | 19:06 |
| nosrednaekim | crazy6: yeah.. it redoes the config when you uninstall it, it should be ok | 19:07 |
| Captain_Haddock | JohnFlux: Not sure if this should be a separate bug report or if it has been resolved in a subsequent release (this is 1.2.0) - but once I ran modprobe and restarted Ksysguard, I could access the new sensors. But dragging them to the Panel applet resulted in a blank display (with the lightning icon). | 19:07 |
| crazy6 | nosrednaekim: oh I meant reinstall all of ubuntu; which package is it? | 19:07 |
| Captain_Haddock | JohnFlux: I had to re-add the applet for it to take effect (or I suspect, restart KDE). | 19:07 |
| perrako | How do I get my media keys working? I've set up an Xmodmap to the normal XF86 stuff, but mute still doesn't work | 19:08 |
| nosrednaekim | crazy6: wait what? you want to reinstall fglrx? | 19:08 |
| perrako | for volume up and down, I also don't get an OSD. The global shortcuts are set up right in kmix, too. | 19:08 |
| nosrednaekim | !hotkeys | 19:08 |
| ubotu | keyboard shortcuts can be set in K -> System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse. Try also "Input Actions" in KControl. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KDEMultimediaKeys - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 19:08 |
| JohnFlux | Captain_Haddock: hmm yes. file a bug report for that too :) | 19:08 |
| crazy6 | nosrednaekim: nah,I want to get rid of it; you said I should uninstall the package, and I can't remember what name it was... | 19:08 |
| Captain_Haddock | JohnFlux: okie dokie :) | 19:08 |
| nosrednaekim | crazy6: oh.... you are using it right now? | 19:09 |

| crazy6 | and kdm won't start for some reason | 19:09 |

| crazy6 | when I start up, all the pdf's I had open w/ kpdf no longer work, and each produce an error message; I assume this is because /tmp or wherever they are put is cleared out... is there a way to prevent that? | 19:32 |
| nosrednaekim | matahari: oh... ok | 19:33 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: can i install a new kernel? | 19:35 |

| nosrednaekim | dave: anything from the past 3 years will do | 19:48 |
| noam_ | so basically, if i install the new proprietary ATI drivers, i need not worry, because i can always revert to the repository drivers by just removing fglrx from the restricted_modules file. right? | 19:49 |
| dave | jpatrick, thanks but that doesn't give any requirements as far as i can see? | 19:49 |

| nosrednaekim | and heard | 19:53 |

| BluesKaj | nosrednaekim, the 8.42 is prolly ok for higher end ati's , onboards don't work well despite what amd recs | 19:55 |

| nosrednaekim | noam_: I *THINK* x will load without 3d | 20:09 |
| mike-kubuntu | nosrednaekim, is it a significant drop in performance between ddr and ddr2/3? | 20:10 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | nosrednaekim: in gutsy i believe it will, because of bulletproof x | 20:10 |
| matahari | i'm back | 20:10 |
| nosrednaekim | Daisuke_Laptop: KDM can't so bulletproof x | 20:10 |
| vzduch | matahari: good choice :P | 20:10 |
| darth_chatri | kubuntu gutsy to be more precise | 20:10 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | mike-kubuntu: fairly significant. but if you want to go to ddr2, you're looking at a new motherboard at least | 20:10 |
| nosrednaekim | matahari: any luck? | 20:10 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | nosrednaekim: ah... | 20:10 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | another area where kubuntu is the forgotten stepchild :\ | 20:11 |
| nosrednaekim | darth_chatri: does the mouse work? | 20:11 |
| nosrednaekim | Daisuke_Laptop: indeed... | 20:11 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: no luck | 20:11 |
| darth_chatri | nosrednaekim: yes, everything else works | 20:11 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: i'm really depressed now - the guys in #alsa don't respond | 20:11 |
| mike-kubuntu | Daisuke_Laptop: figured, i'll wait till its time for a new processor | 20:11 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | i actually have encountered that problem one time resuming from suspend on this 1420... i had to reboot to get the keyboard back | 20:11 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | mike-kubuntu: do you tend toward amd or intel? | 20:12 |
| nosrednaekim | matahari: hmmmm | 20:12 |
| nosrednaekim | matahari: I'm not too good with sound at all | 20:12 |
| BluesKaj | sammy , it's atitude like yours that used to be quite prevalent a few yrs ago, ( I got linux chops and you don't ,you dummy ...read the man pages) ...well we're here to help those who are confused about what we mean by "documentation and the like " If you need to be on your high horse , then this isn't the room for you. | 20:12 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: too bad... | 20:12 |
| darth_chatri | it seems to happen randomly | 20:12 |
| nosrednaekim | matahari: try posting on the ubuntu forums | 20:12 |
| nosrednaekim | darth_chatri: my dad had the same problem on his laptop... is it a laptop? | 20:13 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: the prob is: tomorrow at 9am i have a teleconference and need the sound there.... i could go crazy... | 20:13 |
| darth_chatri | nosrednaekim: yes | 20:13 |
| nosrednaekim | darth_chatri: disable your touchpad.. | 20:13 |
| BluesKaj | BBL ...naptime | 20:13 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | intel's 775 is a general standard with motherboards encompassing ddr and ddr2. amd's a little more picky, i think am2 is the only processor line that will do ddr2 | 20:13 |
| darth_chatri | nosrednaekim: how? | 20:14 |
| nosrednaekim | darth_chatri: it had something to do with X/KDE and the touchpad being accidentally touched while typing | 20:14 |
| nosrednaekim | Daisuke_Laptop: or S1 for mobile.. | 20:14 |
| darth_chatri | nosrednaekim: eh? doesnt quite make sense. anyway, i dont have a button to disable the touchpad | 20:15 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | nosrednaekim: i haven't kept up with amd recently :) | 20:15 |
| * nosrednaekim is a AMD fanboi in his spare time | 20:15 | |
| nosrednaekim | darth_chatri: such was his dillema as well | 20:15 |
| nosrednaekim | matahari: load up a liveCD for the teleconference ;) | 20:15 |
| darth_chatri | nosrednaekim: so how did he solve the problem? | 20:16 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | nosrednaekim: given the performance from the core 2 duo in the laptop, i think i'm going to go to an intel system next time i upgrade my desktop (if i do) | 20:17 |
| nosrednaekim | darth_chatri: to tell you the truth...IDK. | 20:17 |
| darth_chatri | nosrednaekim: are you sure its a kde problem? it happens to me while using a different manager as well | 20:17 |
| nosrednaekim | Daisuke_Laptop: Intel chips are more expensive... and I find the bottle neck on this Turion X2 laptop is not the CPU,. but the graphics and HD/ | 20:18 |
| darth_chatri | i have some kde apps running, but the services and the wm are not | 20:18 |
| nosrednaekim | darth_chatri: no,i'm not certain, it very well could be an X problem | 20:18 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | aaaaand, i so want to grab one of those $199 walmart linux pcs (mini-itx, via c7 1.5ghz processor, 512mb ram, 80gb hdd)... strip the atx case and stick the system in a nice small mini-itx case :D | 20:18 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | use it as a streaming machine | 20:19 |
| nosrednaekim | Daisuke_Laptop: yeah... we have a Via system with about those specs... its runs nicely...22 watts! | 20:19 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | keep it connected to the tv :D | 20:19 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | nosrednaekim: have you seen those yet? | 20:19 |
| nosrednaekim | Daisuke_Laptop: get a good graphics card though... via is crap | 20:19 |
| nosrednaekim | yeah.. I did | 20:19 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | all i really need is vga output | 20:19 |
| nosrednaekim | ah.. ok | 20:20 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | if it can handle 1024x768 i'm fine | 20:20 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | certainly not a gaming machine, and the new TV can't handle anything above that resolution (which is weird, the native res is 1366x768) | 20:20 |
| nosrednaekim | it can (without 3d accel) we have it attached to a 1280x1024 monitor. | 20:20 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | the most taxing thing i would use it for is have it double as a classic gaming machine | 20:21 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | nes/snes/genesis emulation | 20:21 |
| nosrednaekim | shouldn't have a problem with that | 20:21 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | i'm gonna take this to -offtopic :) | 20:22 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | before someone gripes :D | 20:22 |
| franki | hay no one knows how to upgrade to 7.10 without turning off | 20:26 |
| mcquaid | i only recently upgraded to gutsy. I just noticed kfind is no longer in my kmenu | 20:26 |
| mcquaid | i checked and it's still installed, and obviously I can easily readd it, just curious if others encountered this | 20:26 |
| nosrednaekim | franki: not entirely possible...(kernel requires a reboot) | 20:27 |
| tekstacy | 'lo all | 20:27 |
| mcquaid | does everyone else have kfind in their menu in gutsy? | 20:27 |
| perrako | How do you load new compiz themes into kde? | 20:27 |
| franki | yea i know kernal requiers reboot but never mind i started the upgrade | 20:28 |
| tekstacy | I have 4 gb ram, but Kinfo says I have 3.1gb, anyone know why this would be? | 20:28 |

| qolo | I friggin hate Konsole, is there a better shell ? | 20:29 |
| tekstacy | cmd.exe | 20:29 |
| qolo | thx | 20:30 |
| tekstacy | ok, ok, sorry :) | 20:30 |
| matahari | lol | 20:30 |
| mcquaid | tekstacy, I'm not sure but I read that 32 bit os's only have support for 4 gigs. But from what I understand that xp doesn't report the 4 gigs correctly and you end up with something like you're saying. And I heard that this happens in linux as well, which I'm surprised of | 20:30 |
| mcquaid | f | 20:30 |
| qolo | 4 gigs is directly addressable, you can still have more it just takes a little longer to access | 20:30 |
| qolo | ( i think ) | 20:31 |
| mcquaid | takes a little longer to access... that just doesn't sound correct | 20:31 |
| tekstacy | hmm, cool, thanks. | 20:31 |
| qolo | 32^2 = 4gigs | 20:31 |
| mcquaid | so can anyone just quickly tell me if kfind is still in their kmenu after upgrading to gutsy? | 20:32 |

| NDPTAL85 | Anyone have any ideas on why Thunderbird on 7.10 won't access my IMAP accounts? | 20:32 |
| tekstacy | mcquaid, I don't see it | 20:32 |
| mcquaid | thx, wonder why there is no entry for it now | 20:33 |
| mcquaid | i was curious if they were replacing kfind or something | 20:33 |
| tekteen | NDPTAL85: I will try it | 20:33 |
| NDPTAL85 | It will access one, but I have 4 others that it won't. | 20:33 |
| rakan | Hello | 20:34 |
| tekstacy | mcquaid, open Adept and see if it is installed | 20:34 |
| tekstacy | hello rakan | 20:34 |
| rakan | I copied and burned debian packages downloaded by adept from archives folder to a CD | 20:35 |
| mcquaid | yep it's installed, just launched kfind from the run cmd. but I think it's a glaring omission to forget an entry for the find util | 20:35 |
| tekteen | NDPTAL85: what are the settings | 20:35 |
| rakan | now i formated my computer and reinstalled kubuntu | 20:35 |
| rakan | how can i give all these packages to adept to reinstall because i dont want it to download them all again??? | 20:35 |
| NDPTAL85 | tekstacy: Settings? Regular settings for a GMail account. | 20:35 |
| tekteen | ok | 20:36 |
| tekteen | hold on | 20:36 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: i noticed something strange | 20:36 |
| tekstacy | NDPTAL85, I think you meant that for tekteen | 20:37 |
| mcquaid | rakan, i never use adept but for apt-get/synaptic they go in /var/cache/apt/archives | 20:37 |
| NDPTAL85 | tekstacy: My bad | 20:37 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: days when sound worked, i looked at the ouput of /proc/asound/cards - and there were 2 cards present (one analog, one digital) | 20:37 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: now i only have one card there | 20:37 |
| rakan | mcquaid: ok i copied the packages into the archives folder | 20:37 |
| tekteen | it is working for me | 20:37 |
| tekteen | check your settings | 20:37 |
| rakan | how can i instruct apt-get to install them? | 20:37 |
| NDPTAL85 | I know the accounts work fine because they work in KMail and on both of my Macs. | 20:37 |
| tekteen | ok | 20:38 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: is there a command to run a base-config of my system again? | 20:38 |
| bibou | salut | 20:38 |
| tekstacy | mcquaid, you could just put it in the menu yourself. | 20:38 |
| tekteen | rightclick on the acount then click properties | 20:39 |
| mcquaid | tekstacy, yes which i already did, but it's still pretty bad to miss that | 20:39 |
| tekteen | NDPTAL85: then click the server settings tab | 20:39 |
| nosrednaekim | matahari: didn't you say you recompiled alsa? | 20:39 |
| mcquaid | rakan, i'm not sure I exactly understand. are you doing a fresh install? | 20:39 |
| NDPTAL85 | tekteen: Then what? | 20:40 |
| tekstacy | yup, yup. someone forgot. But hey, at least wer're not stuck with vista.... | 20:40 |
| edo_ | hi all | 20:40 |
| tekstacy | hi edo_ | 20:40 |
| tekteen | NDPTAL85: rightclick on the acount then click properties | 20:40 |
| edo_ | i'm italian | 20:40 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: yes, i did | 20:40 |
| NDPTAL85 | tekteen: Yeah I'm there already | 20:40 |
| tekteen | NDPTAL85: then click the server settings tab | 20:40 |
| nosrednaekim | matahari: well, that probably messed something up.. | 20:41 |
| edo_ | goodbye | 20:41 |
| NDPTAL85 | tekteen: Dood, I'm there. Whats next? | 20:41 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: maybe i can uninstall it... | 20:41 |
| tekteen | check that it is connecting to pop.gmail.com and port 995 | 20:41 |
| rakan | mcquaid: i did a clean install for kubuntu. But in the previous installation i installed alot of programs and packages using adept, to prevent downloading them again i just copied all the packages from the archives. What i am asking for is how can i give those packages to apt-get to install them all automatically with me having to go install them one by one??? | 20:41 |
| nosrednaekim | matahari: not sure... | 20:41 |
| NDPTAL85 | tekteen: Its IMAP. So it would be imap.gmail.com | 20:41 |
| nosrednaekim | matahari: try reinstalling the kernel.. | 20:41 |
| tekteen | ok | 20:41 |
| nosrednaekim | matahari: is its gutsy? | 20:42 |
| nosrednaekim | *this | 20:42 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: yes | 20:42 |
| tekteen | I suggest u use pop | 20:42 |
| nosrednaekim | matahari: oh... hmm | 20:42 |
| tekteen | it makes no difference | 20:42 |
| nosrednaekim | NDPTAL85: gmail's IMAP is buggy | 20:42 |
| tekstacy | back to work... Thanks for the help guys. bye | 20:42 |
| rakan | mcquaid: got it? | 20:43 |
| nosrednaekim | matahari: yeah... I don't know.. | 20:43 |
| mcquaid | rakan, ok, again I never used adept but in synaptic if you select all those packages to install it will recognize they are in the archive and not download them again | 20:43 |
| NDPTAL85 | nosrednaekim: Possibly but I'm only experiencing this issue on Thunderbird on Kubuntu. No other OS or email client. | 20:43 |
| mcquaid | but that still is a pain selecting them all again | 20:43 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: what can i do.... | 20:44 |
| nosrednaekim | NDPTAL85: oh... ok | 20:44 |
| tekteen | anyone know howto make accented characters (for spanish) | 20:44 |
| rakan | aha ok, will try them | 20:44 |
| rakan | i have to do it | 20:44 |
| mcquaid | so... i would do from konsole: sudo dpkg -i *.deb while in the archive dir | 20:44 |
| rakan | dont got any other way :( | 20:44 |
| rakan | hmm | 20:44 |
| rakan | i will try that * :) | 20:45 |
| mcquaid | rakan, let me know if that works. it should | 20:45 |
| rakan | at least windows doesnt have such options | 20:45 |
| rakan | if i format windows i have to do 2 days of reinstallation :D | 20:45 |
| rakan | mcquaid: i will, thanks for now | 20:46 |
| mcquaid | k | 20:46 |
| tekteen | raken: u could back up windows | 20:46 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | you're better off without windows :D | 20:46 |
| tekteen | I agree | 20:47 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: how can i reinstall the kernel? | 20:47 |
| tekteen | but u might need it | 20:47 |

| DaSkreech | mcquaid: I think it may be they are using strigi now | 20:48 |
| rakan | mcquaid: do u think it will work with some programs needing dependencies? would it install dependencies first then install package? | 20:48 |
| nosrednaekim | matahari: that... I do not know... maybe install an older version of the kernel? | 20:48 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: and how can i do that? | 20:48 |
| MaDiNfO_ | does any one knows how can i enable TVout on my GFX board ? | 20:49 |

| MaDiNfO_ | to watch some movies on my TV ? | 20:49 |
| mcquaid | rakan, hmm, that will proabably fail on some of them, if you haven't already downloaded the dependencies | 20:49 |
| mcquaid | if all the dependencies are in that dir, you'll be fine | 20:49 |
| rakan | mcquaid: They are there :D | 20:49 |
| rakan | i will try now | 20:50 |
| mcquaid | then you should be good to go | 20:50 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: i think i will reinstall gutsy.... | 20:51 |
| rakan | mcquaid: hmm, sudo dpkg -i *.deb did not install all | 20:51 |
| rakan | i think it took the last installed package and reinstalled it | 20:51 |

| mcquaid | rakan, not sure I understand last installed package. dpkg is for manually installing debs. It will not go to the net and grab new versions or anything like apt-get. it doesn't not reference your sources.list file. it's just a manual deb installer | 20:52 |
| NickPresta | raindog, you could try this in a konsole: dcop kicker kicker restart | 20:52 |

| NickPresta | raindog, no problem :) | 20:53 |
| mcquaid | DaSkreech, I see there is a strigi applet, but is there not a standalone search that utilizes strigi/tracker backend? | 20:54 |
| mcquaid | rakan, so what happened some installed? none? | 20:54 |
| rakan | mcquaid: no dpkg -i *.deb only installed bcm43xx-fwcutter.deb package which is for Broadcom wireless device drivers. Stopped right after the installation of this package completed | 20:55 |
| mcquaid | hmmm | 20:55 |
| matahari | nosrednaekim: yes/no..... the amount of files is not the problem.... how can i get a list of packages i installed manually? | 20:55 |

| jords | athen | 21:11 |
| nosrednaekim | debian-is-me: you need to enable the restricted-repository | 21:11 |
| rakan | mcquaid: i thank you for saving 12 hours of my time :p :D | 21:11 |
| DaSkreech | athem: ah. Umm why don't you just install Kaffiene then? | 21:11 |
| DaSkreech | or vlc ? | 21:11 |
| mcquaid | np | 21:11 |
| debian-is-me | why is it restricted? | 21:11 |
| tekteen | it means it is not open source | 21:12 |
| tekteen | you can still use it | 21:12 |
| tekteen | :-) | 21:12 |
| jords | athem: is it there? | 21:12 |
| nosrednaekim | debian-is-me: just that its not officailly supported since it is closed sourse...itssafe tho | 21:13 |
| debian-is-me | But what is point of open-source for people that doesn't know how to program? | 21:13 |
| athem | jords: there's lots of packages starting with kde, which one would be the right one to choose? | 21:13 |
| athem | DaSkreech: what is Kaffiene? | 21:14 |
| tekteen | it means other people can find bugs | 21:14 |
| DaSkreech | athem: The KDE video player | 21:14 |
| DaSkreech | You can install it in Gnome | 21:14 |
| DaSkreech | what are the specs on your machine ? | 21:14 |
| DrakeJustice_ | athem: not as well programed as some other video players i might add | 21:14 |
| tekteen | debian-is-me: it also means it cannot be supported | 21:14 |
| tekteen | although still safe | 21:14 |
| debian-is-me | But for me, whats the diffrence? the binarys makes as much sense as the source-code, so should I use open-source or not care? | 21:15 |
| tekteen | do not care | 21:15 |
| tekteen | simple answer | 21:15 |
| DrakeJustice_ | sheesh! | 21:15 |
| athem | DaSkreech: I am using ubuntu 7.10 with the standard gnome environment. running a kde program isn't possible atm ;) | 21:16 |
| DrakeJustice_ | tekteen: what if no one cared? | 21:16 |
| DaSkreech | athem: Yes it is | 21:16 |
| tekteen | i know | 21:16 |
| DrakeJustice_ | athem: gnome can run KDE apps | 21:16 |
| tekteen | but it is all we have | 21:16 |
| athem | oh...hmm...gonna give this a try then | 21:16 |
| tekteen | and it has crashed many times | 21:16 |
| tekteen | lol | 21:16 |
| debian-is-me | Can gnome run Knetworkmanager? | 21:16 |
| DaSkreech | Yes | 21:16 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: yea, but i wouldn't recommend it... | 21:17 |
| arcade | Hmm. Having trouble with compiz and Ubuntu 7.10 (w/kubuntu-desktop) .. | 21:17 |
| debian-is-me | why not? | 21:17 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: gnome has a better one (for gnome) | 21:17 |
| debian-is-me | I like knetworkmanager | 21:17 |
| DaSkreech | Knetworkmanager was abused | 21:17 |
| arcade | Is it completely non-supported? | 21:17 |
| DaSkreech | It needs love and attention | 21:17 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: by all means, use it then :) | 21:17 |
| DaSkreech | arcade: Not totally unsupported :) | 21:17 |
| debian-is-me | how can i abuse knetworkmanager? | 21:17 |
| DaSkreech | arcade: There is #compiz-fusion | 21:17 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: he meant the developers of it i think | 21:17 |
| arcade | DaSkreech: :P Of course, but I'm thinking "support from other kubuntu-users"-supported :P | 21:18 |
| DaSkreech | Sure | 21:18 |
| debian-is-me | Can kubuntu/debian be used to crack wpa sertificates? | 21:18 |
| angeldarkholme | hello everybody...could you please tell me how can I activate compiz fusion on kubuntu gutsy? | 21:18 |
| DaSkreech | But a good number of KDE<__>compiz-fusion bugs are really only fixable by the compiz-fusion people | 21:18 |
| DaSkreech | debian-is-me: Any computer can do that | 21:19 |
| angeldarkholme | everything is installed (all the packages that I need) | 21:19 |
| arcade | DaSkreech: Aha.:) | 21:19 |
| DaSkreech | !compiz | angeldarkholme | 21:19 |
| ubotu | angeldarkholme: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 21:19 |
| angeldarkholme | but I can't see any desktop effects | 21:19 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: essentially anything electrical can... | 21:19 |
| angeldarkholme | thanks :) | 21:19 |
| debian-is-me | But how? | 21:19 |
| DaSkreech | angeldarkholme: open a konsole and type compiz --replace | 21:19 |
| tekteen | look opensource is the way to go. but if you want to play 3d games you need to install restricted drivers. :-( | 21:19 |
| DaSkreech | debian-is-me: Wrong place to discuss that | 21:19 |
| arcade | DaSkreech: Well, I'm hoping Kubuntu 8.04 and Compiz will play better together :P (And Ubuntu ... I mean, there are still Bugs!) :P | 21:19 |
| DaSkreech | arcade: They will but it won't make much a difference | 21:20 |
| jpatrick | arcade: it's planned | 21:20 |
| gogy | hi to all I`m having pšroblems installing beryl-settings becouse they depend on python 2.4 I have 2.4 and 2.5 how to use right one for the instalation?? | 21:20 |
| debian-is-me | But I have a legimate reason, my school has wpa, but they won't give support for linux users, I have the username/password, but I need the sertificate | 21:20 |
| arcade | DaSkreech: Hey, anything I can use to impress the windowsers at the office .. and try to get'em to switch :P | 21:20 |
| DrakeJustice_ | gogy: update-alternatives --config python | 21:20 |
| DrakeJustice_ | arcade: dozers aren't intelligent enough, switching them just makes them confused | 21:21 |
| DrakeJustice_ | lol | 21:21 |
| DaSkreech | arcade: 8.10 will have KDE4 which has compositing built in | 21:21 |
| DaSkreech | compositing is the fanciness that compiz brings :) | 21:21 |
| DaSkreech | arcade: try the comfusion DVd | 21:21 |
| DrakeJustice_ | KDE4.5 > compiz ?? w00t | 21:21 |
| DaSkreech | arcade: or press alt+space :) | 21:21 |
| arcade | DrakeJustice_: That's not _our_ windows users :P I mean, we're a sysadmin company :P Our windows users are smart. | 21:22 |
| debian-is-me | what features will be inplented in Kubuntu 20.0.0.5? | 21:22 |
| DrakeJustice_ | arcade: that's cool... | 21:22 |
| arcade | DrakeJustice_: about 120 people, around 70 unix users :P Not all linux though ;P | 21:22 |
| DrakeJustice_ | arcade: lemme quote that 'windows users are smart' - nytimes | 21:22 |
| DrakeJustice_ | lol | 21:22 |
| debian-is-me | is it freenode.com or org? | 21:23 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: org | 21:23 |
| arcade | DrakeJustice_: I'll be happy when our technical director turns unix (again). he's just using windows these days because the windows-department are feeling bullied ;PP | 21:23 |
| athem | DaSkreech: installed kaffeine but its not playing anything. so is there no way to get a kde desktop running other then to completely reinstall kubuntu from a live cd? | 21:23 |
| DaSkreech | athem: Sure install kubuntu-desktop | 21:24 |
| DrakeJustice_ | arcade: tell the CEO's a nice presentation about 'vendor lock-in' and see their reaction | 21:24 |
| debian-is-me | is samba faster than a windows 2003 server, and can samba connect to an windows 2003 server? | 21:24 |
| tekteen | yes and yes | 21:24 |
| DaSkreech | athem: are you upgrading to 7.10 | 21:24 |
| === ola_ is now known as Aartix003 | ||
| ardchoille | DrakeJustice_: Nice technique | 21:24 |
| arcade | DrakeJustice_: Not necessary ;P They know it. | 21:25 |
| tekteen | samba it can also be configured more | 21:25 |
| DrakeJustice_ | arcade: and they still bought it?? lol | 21:25 |
| athem | DaSkreech: am using ubuntu 7.10 already | 21:25 |
| tekteen | debian-is-me: have any more questions | 21:25 |
| debian-is-me | can I use a 133mhz 78mb ram as a samba file server? | 21:25 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: yup | 21:25 |
| DaSkreech | athem: ah ok :) yeah just install kubuntu-desktop | 21:26 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: slowly :) | 21:26 |
| arcade | DrakeJustice_: Well, as we're a "both windows and unix shop" some of them need to ;P | 21:26 |
| debian-is-me | faster than windows 2003 on an fast computer? | 21:26 |
| tekteen | debian-is-me: you would need a very basic install | 21:26 |
| tekteen | (with samba) | 21:27 |
| athem | DaSkreech: giving it a try, thanks ;) | 21:27 |
| jords | athem: Yes you get a kde desktop if you install kubuntu-desktop | 21:27 |
| debian-is-me | Yes, how can I strip debian down to speed up startup? | 21:27 |
| ardchoille | debian-is-me: I don't think you'll get the desktop cd to run ont that, you're better off installing from the server cd | 21:27 |
| DaSkreech | arcade: I like alt+space though :) | 21:27 |
| athem | jords: thanks | 21:27 |
| ardchoille | debian-is-me: install the server edition and build from there | 21:27 |
| DaSkreech | debian-is-me: at that point I'd be looking at gentoo | 21:28 |
| debian-is-me | I'm talking about a diffrent computer, it is debian, and it uses 70sec to boot, too slow. Need to speed up- | 21:28 |
| tekteen | debian-is-me: boot does not matter | 21:28 |
| === andrea_ is now known as ndrea | ||
| debian-is-me | how do I login? | 21:29 |
| tekteen | debian-is-me: what do u mean? | 21:29 |
| debian-is-me | I want the boot time to be lower, I get bored when I start the computer. | 21:29 |
| tekteen | you could run it all the time (i do) | 21:30 |
| Aartix003 | you get bored? | 21:30 |
| DaSkreech | debian-is-me: kill services you don't need | 21:30 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: check sysv-init (read up on it) | 21:30 |
| ardchoille | debian-is-me: Why do you even reboot/shutdown? | 21:30 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: /etc/init.d/ | 21:30 |
| debian-is-me | ok | 21:30 |
| tekteen | debian-is-me: /etc/rc.2 | 21:31 |
| debian-is-me | Once in a while the power goes out, or the dog eats the wires | 21:31 |
| ardchoille | debian-is-me: There's a nice cli ui for that: sysv-rc-conf | 21:31 |
| tekteen | that is very rare | 21:31 |
| tekteen | live through it | 21:31 |
| Aartix003 | debian-is-me: working? | 21:31 |
| debian-is-me | working? | 21:31 |

| noam_ | ...so i installed the 8.42 driver, had some issues, so i ran uninstall_fglrx from /usr/share/ati and removed fglrx from the linux-restricted-modules. after i did that, X DID NOT LOAD AT ALL, and the radeon driver was sort of broken, so i installed 8.40. how depressing | 21:32 |
| DrakeJustice_ | ardchoille: does debian-is-me know what cli or ui are? | 21:32 |
| debian-is-me | no, but do I need too? | 21:32 |
| ardchoille | DrakeJustice_: I assumed he did | 21:32 |
| DrakeJustice_ | noam_: you aren't alone... my 200m hates me as well | 21:32 |
| DrakeJustice_ | ardchoille: lol | 21:32 |
| qolo | I hate you too | 21:32 |
| tekteen | I assumed too | 21:32 |
| tekteen | cli=command line interface ui=user interface | 21:33 |
| debian-is-me | so I can just remove stupid stuff? like hp printing? torrent tracker? and other crap | 21:33 |
| ardchoille | I guess I could have foregone the "ui" | 21:33 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: Alt+F2 'type 'konsole' then press enter then type into the terminal 'sudo sysv-rc-conf' and press enter | 21:33 |
| yakuzi | Hi all, i've a strange problem... i just had a sudden shut-down (for the 3th or 4th time in a few days) on my laptop (using gutsy) | 21:33 |
| DrakeJustice_ | yakuzi: u need a new kernel compile probably | 21:34 |
| DrakeJustice_ | yakuzi: userspace apps shouldn't cause that unless they are malicious... | 21:34 |
| bmk789 | ktorrent isnt seeding correctly, is this a common problem? | 21:34 |
| DrakeJustice_ | bmk789: no... what version are you using | 21:35 |
| yakuzi | i have totaly no idea what can cause it... because it's not a normal shut-down, but my laptop just turns of directly... | 21:35 |
| bmk789 | 2.2.1 | 21:35 |
| DrakeJustice_ | bmk789: default gutsy version seeds fine for me... maybe a reinstall or check the tracker's in your torrent | 21:35 |
| tekteen | bmk789: it may be your isp | 21:35 |
| alexander | hi | 21:35 |
| debian-is-me | sysv-rc-conf not found | 21:35 |
| DrakeJustice_ | yakuzi: that's what im saying, it has to be 'your hardware + bad kernel' | 21:35 |
| bmk789 | tekteen: its worked fine until i switched to ktorrent | 21:35 |
| tekteen | type the command it gave | 21:35 |
| alexander | how do i install my printer (hp laserjet 1018) on my kubuntu | 21:35 |
| tekteen | ok | 21:36 |
| bmk789 | it will occasionally upload slowly but it drops after a few minutes | 21:36 |
| ardchoille | debian-is-me: sudo apt-get install sysv-rc-conf | 21:36 |
| tekteen | no clue | 21:36 |
| DrakeJustice_ | ardchoille: lol | 21:36 |
| debian-is-me | ' OK | 21:36 |

| debian-is-me | Is it a overkill to run kdm and gdm at the same time? | 21:38 |
| DaSkreech | debian-is-me: yes | 21:38 |

| DaSkreech | :-P | 21:38 |
| DaSkreech | the one you like | 21:38 |
| DrakeJustice_ | i figured someone would yell... | 21:39 |

| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: don't run both unless you use both... | 21:39 |
| debian-is-me | what does alsa do? | 21:39 |
| tekteen | sound | 21:39 |
| DrakeJustice_ | yakuzi: i don't think so... do you use proprietary drivers? | 21:39 |
| debian-is-me | Can I run kdm and gdm at the same time? | 21:39 |
| tekteen | I would keep that | 21:40 |
| tekteen | no | 21:40 |
| debian-is-me | Why? I usally don't have any speakers | 21:40 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: yes you can, but you can only use one at a time | 21:40 |
| tekteen | ok | 21:40 |
| yakuzi | well i've the restricted intel driver for my videocard | 21:40 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: you can run more than one at a time, but can only Use one at a time... | 21:40 |
| DrakeJustice_ | yakuzi: that could be it... i wouldn't make that my first guess... how long has it been running good before shutting down (3months or more?) | 21:41 |
| debian-is-me | cupssys, is printers right? | 21:41 |
| tekteen | yep | 21:41 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: if you don't know don't stop it! | 21:41 |

| debian-is-me | what does klogd do? | 21:42 |
| Aartix003 | woot? | 21:42 |

| tekteen | logs kde programs | 21:42 |
| debian-is-me | change the room | 21:42 |
| debian-is-me | that can't be useful? | 21:43 |
| DrakeJustice_ | or google up howto compile a kernel for ubuntu | 21:43 |
| bjwebb | my cursor is broke :S | 21:43 |
| yakuzi | can i repair the kernell with the repair older instalation thing on the cd? | 21:43 |
| bjwebb | its stuck on the crossed circle | 21:43 |
| bjwebb | can i fix without logging out? | 21:43 |
| DrakeJustice_ | yakuzi: maybe, i've never had that situation... | 21:43 |
| debian-is-me | It probably only use space an slow down computer making stupid logs? | 21:43 |

| rahmat | how do I make emerald my main theme manager? | 21:44 |
| tekteen | debian-is-me: 1 I use them 2 they will be started later by kde | 21:44 |

| debian-is-me | crapy kde | 21:44 |
| tekteen | yep | 21:45 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: i wouldn't... they don't take that much ram or space... | 21:45 |
| yakuzi | can i remove that safely? (maybe that's left from the compiz-try and it causes it?) | 21:45 |

| RichardBH | hi | 21:49 |
| RichardBH | does anyone know anything about usb mmory sticks/cameras in kubuntu? | 21:49 |
| tekteen | what do u need help with | 21:50 |
| debian-is-me | Should I use rmnologin or does it suck like all the other stuff? | 21:50 |
| tekteen | ? | 21:50 |
| j2^ | Hello! I've spent most of the night on google, trying to figure out why 7.10 on a fresh install (Even in safe graphics mode) just gives me horizontal stripes (i can sort of see the desktop, but reading anything is impossible) (Core2Duo 2.66, nVidia 7300) Knoppmyth and LinuxMCE works fine. | 21:50 |
| yurimxpxman | what's the sftp command to download an entire directory? `get dirname` isn't working for me.. | 21:51 |
| debian-is-me | does sysklogd also only make stupid logs? | 21:52 |
| jords | yurimxpxman: Not sure there is one, but I think most graphical sftp clients (I use gftp) will just list the directory and then fetch each file... | 21:53 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: 'system kernel log deamon' | 21:53 |
| jords | yurimxpxman: that works fine | 21:54 |
| debian-is-me | thaty would mean i don't need it at startup? | 21:54 |
| DrakeJustice_ | debian-is-me: depends... what are you doing? a samba server? u need logs for servers... you'll get in legal bs over not having apropriate logs | 21:56 |
| debian-is-me | no a desktop | 21:56 |
| RichardBH | anybody got any idea why my camera isnt detected when i plug it in? (even as just a usb storage thing like in windows)? | 21:56 |
| DrakeJustice_ | RichardBH: have you tried digiKam? it might be a PTP camera... | 21:57 |
| ardchoille | RichardBH: Plug it in and see if you can add it on digicam | 21:58 |
| === neptunepink is now known as purpleposeidon | ||
| ardchoille | *digikam | 21:58 |
| tekteen | my camera (ect.) work fine | 21:58 |
| ryanakca | Nyle: hmm... does it happen under GNOME? | 21:59 |
| Aartix003 | how can I get an ATI driver for my grafic-card? | 21:59 |
| ardchoille | RichardBH: What kind of cam is it? | 21:59 |
| ardchoille | !ati | Aartix003 | 21:59 |
| ubotu | Aartix003: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 21:59 |
| purpleposeidon | Is there a daemon for letting a computer access another's usb ports? | 21:59 |
| tekteen | samba will work | 21:59 |
| yakuzi | DrakeJustice_: after i tried compiz-fusion i removed all the things i installed... but if i search in adept on compiz, i still find an installed package called "libdecoration0" can i remove it safely? | 22:00 |
| DrakeJustice_ | yakuzi: if you don't need compizfusion anymore | 22:00 |
| DrakeJustice_ | yakuzi: make sure libdecoration isn't dependant on kwin or metacity first... most importantly actaully | 22:01 |
| Nyle | ryanakca: i don't use knome | 22:01 |
| Nyle | but it happens not under anything but kubntu gusty | 22:01 |
| RichardBH | DrakeJustice_: is digiKam something i can install with Adept? | 22:02 |
| DrakeJustice_ | RichardBH: yea, if it isn't already in the menu | 22:02 |
| ardchoille | RichardBH: You should have digikam already in the Graphics menu | 22:02 |
| RichardBH | ahha, found it, thanks | 22:02 |
| RichardBH | im always worried i havent quite got 7.10 - i thought dolphin was supposed to replace konqueror, but theres no sign of it | 22:03 |
| ardchoille | RichardBH: Open a terminal and type: lsb_release -a | 22:03 |
| methods | whats that program that can make a screen cap of a vnc session ? | 22:03 |
| RichardBH | ardchoille: lsb-release: command not found | 22:04 |
| ardchoille | RichardBH: you need a "_", not a "-" | 22:04 |
| ardchoille | lsb_release -a | 22:05 |
| RichardBH | ardchoille: my mistake :$ | 22:06 |
| RichardBH | 7.10 | 22:06 |
| ardchoille | That's Gutsy | 22:06 |
| RichardBH | yeah | 22:06 |
| RichardBH | i just thought that meant dolphin should have replaced konqueror :P | 22:06 |
| ardchoille | RichardBH: My camera wasn't detected either, but I was able to add it n digikam | 22:06 |
| RichardBH | digiKam cant autodetect it - ill try adding it manually | 22:07 |
| yakuzi | DrakeJustice_: it seems not to be needed for kwin or metacity, lucky for me because i was a bit fast with removing... your wrning came after i hit the remove :s | 22:07 |
| ardchoille | RichardBH: Which kind/model is it? | 22:07 |

| ardchoille | RichardBH: I'm looking it up in the Hardware Compat List | 22:10 |
| RichardBH | ardchoille: im fairly sure its a C-700 DERIVATIVE | 22:11 |

| RichardBH | no, but i mean its almost identical to the C700 | 22:12 |
| RichardBH | just has a slightly better lens on the front | 22:12 |
| ardchoille | Ah, ok | 22:12 |
| RichardBH | ardchoille: if it helps, im not sure any usb thing is detected.. | 22:14 |

| bjwebb | hi | 22:29 |
| sorush20 | hi bjwebb | 22:29 |
| bjwebb | ħełłø | 22:30 |
| sorush20 | hello bjwebb | 22:30 |
| bjwebb | any ideas of a video manager for linux? | 22:30 |
| purpleposeidon | !USB | 22:31 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about usb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:31 |
| sorush20 | bjwebb: is there a video manager in windows? | 22:31 |
| bjwebb | sorush20: well for windows | 22:31 |
| bjwebb | itunes? | 22:31 |
| sorush20 | !itunes | 22:31 |
| ubotu | itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee | 22:31 |
| sorush20 | banshee is a good one and also kaffeine | 22:32 |
| bjwebb | i know, but i don't want an audio player/manager alternative | 22:32 |
| arash_ | isn't itunes for music, not video manager? | 22:32 |
| purpleposeidon | !usb | 22:32 |
| bjwebb | it does music videos as well | 22:32 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about usb - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:32 |
| arash_ | what is video manager anyway? | 22:32 |
| sorush20 | there is songbird | 22:32 |
| sorush20 | !songbird | 22:32 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about songbird - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:32 |
| arash_ | !info songbird | 22:32 |
| ubotu | Package songbird does not exist in gutsy | 22:32 |
| bjwebb | its not in gutsy repos i don't think | 22:33 |
| bjwebb | songbird does video? | 22:33 |
| arash_ | too bad :p. bjwebb, are you looking for a program that simply plays video files? | 22:33 |
| bjwebb | no | 22:34 |
| bjwebb | i have them | 22:34 |
| sorush20 | there just isn't a program like that available as far as I know for linux | 22:34 |
| bjwebb | hmmm | 22:35 |
| methods | hey ? | 22:35 |
| arash_ | mind describing what a 'video manager' is? | 22:35 |
| bjwebb | you would have thought someone would have done an itunes clone with video | 22:35 |
| methods | is x11 tcp turned off ? | 22:35 |
| bjwebb | arash_: like amarok is an audio manager | 22:35 |
| arash_ | bjwebb: ah, you mean it's have them in a playlist? | 22:35 |
| sorush20 | how do I add a user to a group from the command line | 22:36 |
| bjwebb | arash_: yeah and a library | 22:36 |
| zengen | Anyone know of a cd catalog app that will index id3 date of mp3's? | 22:36 |
| arash_ | bjwebb: maybe Democracy player or Miro is what ur looking for, I've nnot really used any of them seriously... | 22:36 |
| bjwebb | arash_: hmm mebbe | 22:36 |
| arash_ | !info Democracy | 22:37 |
| ubotu | Package democracy does not exist in gutsy | 22:37 |
| arash_ | !info Democracy Player | 22:37 |
| bjwebb | !info miro | 22:38 |
| ubotu | miro: GTK+ based RSS video aggregator. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.8.1-0ubuntu5 (gutsy), package size 555 kB, installed size 3012 kB | 22:38 |
| bjwebb | arash_: you know Democracy = Miro | 22:38 |
| arash_ | bjwebb: yea, but I wasn't sure if they implemented it in 7.10 | 22:38 |
| bjwebb | oh okies | 22:38 |
| arash_ | bjwebb: I still have Democracy Player ;) , (I have 7.04), it's far to buggy to use | 22:39 |
| bjwebb | yeah, i think i tried one of them briefly | 22:39 |
| B-Minus | how can i upgrade to the latest compiz-fusion ? | 22:40 |
| Alarm | when i just tried to do an apt-get upgrade , there were some packages to get upgraded like iceweasel openoffice.org-java-common . but i get also that penoffice.org openoffice.org-base and many others are being kept back, why is that | 22:41 |
| d3vil_ | hi | 22:41 |
| sorush20 | what are the dbg packages for system settings? | 22:41 |
| methods | how do i enable x11 over tcp ? | 22:42 |
| d3vil_ | Hi, this is my first try with Linux... i installed kubuntu and can't access my other (sata) windos partitions | 22:44 |
| yakuzi | !firewall | 22:45 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 22:45 |
| [Relic] | Hello :) | 22:45 |
| d3vil_ | i have read that i modified the fstab... | 22:45 |

| RichardBH | anybody know anything about pci cards not being detected in kubuntu? | 22:47 |
| sorush20 | RichardBH: what pci card | 22:47 |
| RichardBH | its a USB card with 2 sockets on | 22:47 |
| sorush20 | most usbs are detected.. | 22:48 |
| sorush20 | try do in lspci to find out the name | 22:48 |
| sorush20 | do you see anything that sounds like your card | 22:48 |
| sorush20 | somone help me access my systemsettings it keeps crashing | 22:49 |
| RichardBH | i have a host bridge, pci bridge, isa bridge and ide interface | 22:49 |

| RichardBH | then my agp graphics card | 22:49 |
| sorush20 | oaky | 22:49 |
| RichardBH | the usb card doesnt seem to be listed | 22:49 |
| DrakeJustice_ | sorush20: type 'kcontrol > /tmp/bob' and paste the /tmp/bob file please | 22:50 |
| sorush20 | there isn't anything is the file | 22:51 |
| sorush20 | DrakeJustice_: | 22:51 |
| genii | RichardBH: Perhaps plug some usb deivice into it then see the results of dmesg | 22:57 |
| RichardBH | genii: the bits that get added just after it gets plugged in? | 23:01 |
| genii | RichardBH: Yup. then you'll know at least if it's seeing the usb somehow even if it's not listing it as on the pci bus | 23:02 |
| KeithF40 | hey guys hwo do you get firefox working?????????? | 23:02 |
| KeithF40 | i downloaded it and have all the files but nothign opens it up | 23:02 |
| RichardBH | no - it still ends in the same lines, so it doesnt look like anything is getting added | 23:02 |
| RichardBH | genii: i know the USBs have power because the camera turns on | 23:03 |
| genii | So you went to Adept or Synaptic package manager and chose for firefox to be installed, it installed, and now won't run? | 23:03 |
| KeithF40 | oh i didnt know what to do there | 23:03 |
| KeithF40 | i just downloaded the file and extracted it | 23:03 |

| Daisuke_Laptop | explaining repositories and software installation :) | 23:04 |
| KeithF40 | ok im in the manager | 23:04 |
| genii | KeithF40: Install by package manager when possible :) Another alternative is from a Konsole, to type in: sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get install firefox | 23:04 |
| RichardBH | Daisuke_Laptop: that would have been so useful for me... | 23:04 |
| KeithF40 | where is this tutorial for me to read | 23:04 |
| eljefe_ | can anyone tell me why me Kaffeine won't start? It bounces there, mocking me, but there is no CPU usage or anything. | 23:05 |
| genii | RichardBH: Does it show on command lsusb instead of the lspci ? | 23:05 |
| RichardBH | lsusb just makes it pause for about half a second and then display the next prompt | 23:05 |
| BluesKaj | eljefe_, are trying to play a commercial dvd ? | 23:06 |
| genii | KeithF40: OK you see where it has Search in top left? put in for instance firefox | 23:06 |
| eljefe_ | BluesKaj: no, a home video. its not the videotho, i cannot even launch the app. | 23:06 |
| KeithF40 | yeah there are like 20 maybe | 23:07 |
| BluesKaj | will VLC play the video eljefe_ ? | 23:07 |
| eljefe_ | mplayer will | 23:07 |
| eljefe_ | its not the video, tho. kaffeine won't open | 23:07 |
| navets | is there a way to reinstall the gutsy kernel | 23:07 |
| genii | KeithF40: n to where the main one, just firefox is. then check off the box | 23:07 |
| kubuntunewbie | get vlc | 23:07 |
| eljefe_ | any video or anything | 23:07 |
| eljefe_ | lol thanks kubuntunewbie | 23:07 |
| eljefe_ | but i like and want kaffeine; it worked yesterday. | 23:08 |
| KeithF40 | idk if its workoing | 23:08 |
| KeithF40 | i clicked reques install | 23:08 |
| kubuntunewbie | eljefe_: u think people want advice from a guy with the name kubuntunewbie?!?! ;) | 23:08 |
| genii | KeithF40: You have to hit Apply Changes in bottom right | 23:08 |
| KeithF40 | not it says break isntall | 23:08 |
| eljefe_ | lol | 23:08 |
| BluesKaj | ok eljefe_ , try to install libxine1-ffmpeg | 23:08 |
| eljefe_ | already installed | 23:09 |
| eljefe_ | i reinstalled kaffeine but still, no. | 23:09 |
| BluesKaj | eljefe_, was kaffeine working previous to your latest login ? | 23:10 |
| eljefe_ | yes | 23:10 |
| BluesKaj | try a reboot | 23:10 |
| genii | RichardBH: Do you know how to use pastebin website? | 23:10 |
| eljefe_ | i just powered down to install a hard drive, but I've done nothing with that yet, and i don't see how it is related. | 23:10 |
| eljefe_ | ok i'll try it... | 23:10 |
| eljefe_ | or can i just change runlevels? | 23:11 |
| kubuntunewbie | rebooting fixes everything | 23:11 |
| kubuntunewbie | one time i got a virus | 23:11 |
| kubuntunewbie | and rebooted | 23:11 |
| kubuntunewbie | and it was gone. | 23:11 |
| BluesKaj | <---doesn't fool with runlevels | 23:11 |
| eljefe_ | i even removed the ~/.kde/apps/share/kaffeinerc but still no go | 23:11 |
| eljefe_ | lol ok i'll reboot, back in a few | 23:11 |
| kubuntunewbie | anyone know of a good mindless game that can be played with a touchpad that is for linux and is free? | 23:12 |
| genii | RichardBH: You can perhaps put in the pastebin the results of command: lspci -vv as well as the entire contents of the file /var/log/dmesg | 23:12 |
| KeithF40 | why am i getting this break install erorr? | 23:12 |
| RichardBH | genii: ill give it a go | 23:12 |
| BluesKaj | kubuntunewbie, watch tv :) | 23:12 |
| kubuntunewbie | BluesKaj: already doing that | 23:13 |
| BluesKaj | tyhen yer halfwat there | 23:13 |
| genii | KeithF40: When you opened the package manager did it ask for a password? | 23:13 |
| BluesKaj | oops err then yer halfway there | 23:13 |
| genii | !ping | 23:15 |
| ubotu | pong | 23:15 |
| genii | OK, not ghosting :) | 23:15 |
| KeithF40 | yes genjii and i entered it | 23:15 |
| RichardBH | genii: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43055/ is the lspci -vv | 23:16 |
| kubuntunewbie | ubotu whats up homie? how u been? u pimpin hoes tonight? | 23:16 |
| bassmac | the packages with the kubuntu logo next to them in adept are "official" and others are not, right? | 23:16 |
| eljefe_ | BluesKaj and kubuntunewbie -- yeah the reboot fixed it :) thanks for the obvious tip | 23:16 |
| genii | KeithF40: OK, good. Exactly what was the message it gave about not being able to install, or such? | 23:16 |
| genii | RichardBH: OK, reading | 23:17 |
| kubuntunewbie | eljefe_: WAHOO! grab yourself a beer and enjoy watching that video u were going to watch! | 23:17 |
| DrakeJustice_ | i just popped in, but kubuntunewbie: do you know what ubotu is? | 23:17 |
| eljefe_ | will do! | 23:17 |
| kubuntunewbie | DrakeJustice_: yes, its a bot. | 23:17 |
| DrakeJustice_ | kubuntunewbie: k | 23:17 |
| kubuntunewbie | DrakeJustice_: i was hoping a few people in here had a sense of humor. | 23:17 |
| kubuntunewbie | DrakeJustice_: ;) | 23:17 |
| DrakeJustice_ | kubuntunewbie: otherwise that would have been hilarious... | 23:17 |
| kubuntunewbie | DrakeJustice_: lol | 23:17 |
| BluesKaj | eljefe_, it's not obvious , it's just that it's symptomatic of a prob I had a few days ago as well, but why it requires a reboot to fix puzzles me :) | 23:18 |
| DrakeJustice_ | kubuntunewbie: only a few ppl im tore up on dro right now, so it didn't sink in | 23:18 |
| kubuntunewbie | DrakeJustice_: hahah, nice bro | 23:18 |
| RichardBH | genii: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43056/ is the /var/lg/dmesg file | 23:18 |
| genii | RichardBH: Great :) Reading | 23:19 |
| eljefe_ | yean me also puzzled too. i wonder if it was "running" and I should have dug for its process? whatever, we're in business. | 23:19 |
| RichardBH | genii: thanks | 23:19 |
| DrakeJustice_ | spacing back out into google now... | 23:19 |
| BluesKaj | eljefe_, we should have tried to launch it from the CLI , to see what the error output was ..but it works now so.... | 23:20 |
| ubuntu | hi all i want to enable subpixel font smoothing in kubuntu, any ideas? | 23:20 |
| eljefe_ | I had, even with an strace, but nothing. | 23:20 |
| eljefe_ | without strace it just sat there. | 23:20 |
| kubuntunewbie | what are the chances I could get pokerstars to run on linux? | 23:21 |
| eljefe_ | you tell us! try it out | 23:21 |
| KeithF40 | there was an error commiting changes possibly ther wsa a prob d/ling some packages or teh commit woudl break packages | 23:21 |
| KeithF40 | could not commit changes-adept manager was the title bar | 23:21 |
| kubuntunewbie | eljefe_: well it is an exe file and i would not know the first thing about runing an EXE file in linux | 23:21 |
| eljefe_ | next question, how do i get a UUID to help mount drives? | 23:21 |
| eljefe_ | nah, i'll just use the /dev/sdc1 i think, not really needed. | 23:22 |
| robinson | evening, all | 23:22 |
| KeithF40 | this is the firefox-3.0 package | 23:22 |
| robinson | running gutsy on my laptop, a compaq v5204nr. I have an occasional "stutter" in response, any ideas on how to get rid of this? | 23:22 |
| genii | RichardBH: Some clues there. "Cannot allocate resources to slot 5" etc etc. Also your ACPI or APIC is not being seen or setup properly. I would recommend to try a kernel option of pci=routeirq to try and sort out the resources (likely irqs) | 23:22 |
| robinson | i have 1GB of ram and a 1.5GHz CPU, worked fine on older distros | 23:23 |
| eljefe_ | ah you ARE a newbie then. To do so, make sure that you have installed Wine; then at a command line (browse to the EXE in Dolphin, hit [F4] to open a terminal there) run "wine pokerstars.exe" | 23:23 |
| eljefe_ | kubuntunewbie: ^^ | 23:23 |
| RichardBH | genii: ok - how would I go about doing that? | 23:23 |
| kubuntunewbie | eljefe_: thanks a lot. | 23:23 |
| kubuntunewbie | eljefe_: trying that now | 23:23 |
| eljefe_ | sure | 23:24 |
| eljefe_ | thats why we're all here, to share what we know | 23:24 |
| KeithF40 | gegi you see what i wrote | 23:25 |
| BluesKaj | robinson, it should run fine with those specs, but it could be a graphics or other hardware driver struggling to keep up, with xorg settings | 23:25 |
| robinson | strange.. didnt have this stutter with fesity | 23:25 |
| genii | RichardBH: To test it for a single boot, hit esc at grub. edit the default kernel line that ends something like quiet splash to add in pci=routeirq then hit enter to save it for that session and b to boot. To make these kinds of changes permanent editing with admin privelege the file /boot/grub/menu.lst for that same kernel line. | 23:25 |

| arash_ | kubuntunewbie: oh, sorry, I was comparing with 'Windows Update' upload speed ;) | 23:28 |
| RichardBH | hopefully be back in about 10 minutes - thats how long it takes to shut down/boot up | 23:28 |
| RichardBH | thanks for your help so far if i dont make it back | 23:28 |

| kubuntunewbie | eljefe_: oh wow, not in a million years did i expect it to work, but yeah, pokerstars is up and running. i had no idea it would work. Is wine pretty flawless? | 23:30 |
| eljefe_ | far from it | 23:30 |
| eljefe_ | but it depends on the app, and its getting pretty good these days | 23:30 |
| eljefe_ | larger apps, like Office 2003 or something, tend to wrok less well | 23:31 |
| eljefe_ | esp if its a MS app, as they like to make it hard | 23:31 |
| eljefe_ | but that is great that you're running! | 23:31 |
| eljefe_ | is it a fun game? | 23:31 |
| robinson | Running Dreamweaver 8 with no issues using wine :) | 23:32 |
| eljefe_ | what release is Dreamweaver at now tho? | 23:32 |
| level1__ | hi, knetworkmanager is being a little dumb for me, I've had this problem since gutsy beta. Basically, it deletes elements from knetworkmanagerrc; it seems to have trouble with more than 3 hardware (MAC) addresses being associated with one AP | 23:32 |
| robinson | 9, i think | 23:32 |
| eljefe_ | eh, not too bad then | 23:32 |
| level1__ | copy in a new knetworkmanagerrc, sometimes it works | 23:32 |
| robinson | 9 may work, just no need to buy it... | 23:32 |
| eljefe_ | Photoshop is another that doesn't often work well | 23:33 |
| kubuntunewbie | eljefe_: its a poker site, u can play poker for free against people | 23:33 |
| eljefe_ | i think, i don't use it so no idea | 23:33 |
| eljefe_ | kubuntunewbie: nice | 23:33 |
| genii | kubuntunewbie: I just did this last week for my friend, no linux pokerstars client. He says all the functions on it work as expected (feisty) | 23:33 |
| kubuntunewbie | genii: yeah, i could not believe it | 23:33 |

| eljefe_ | cedur: you can install from VMWare's site, but when the package is available for install with Adept it'll work/upgrade nicer | 23:39 |
| nosrednaekim | use virtualbox | 23:40 |
| BluesKaj | eagles0513875, you spend entirely too much time in here to have friends :) | 23:41 |

| eagles0513875 | ardchoille: i figured out my problem | 23:41 |
| eagles0513875 | !qemu | 23:41 |
| ubotu | qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo | 23:41 |
| cedur | is there a possibility that vmware will run on wine? | 23:41 |
| tekteen | no | 23:42 |
| eagles0513875 | cedur: just use virtualbox its exactly like vm | 23:42 |
| tekteen | it is not working | 23:42 |
| eagles0513875 | and its in teh repos | 23:42 |
| BluesKaj | err if you have vmware , you don't need wine | 23:42 |
| cedur | Y? | 23:42 |
| tekteen | ubuntu under ubuntu | 23:42 |
| RichardBH | genii: no luck :( although i did discover i have 4 or 5 7.10 kernels installed ^o) | 23:42 |

| tekteen | ok | 23:42 |
| tekteen | sorry | 23:42 |
| eagles0513875 | tekteen: there should be virtual box in repos for ubuntu as well | 23:42 |
| tekteen | next time you should private chat with the box | 23:43 |
| tekteen | (I have done it) | 23:43 |
| tekteen | bot* | 23:43 |
| eagles0513875 | ardchoille: i figured out why i couldnt convert my wmas | 23:43 |
| genii | RichardBH: since the motherboard is also pre 1998 you will need as an option: acpi=force. (scouring the dmesg stuff again) | 23:44 |
| eagles0513875 | whats become of hobbsee i havent talked to her in ages | 23:44 |
| RichardBH | does it matter that the motherboard may not have acpi? | 23:44 |
| BluesKaj | eagles0513875, think she's busy with her blog etc | 23:44 |
| cedur | please, god, make a miracle, and make mi shitty-installed wine run this wmvare | 23:45 |
| eagles0513875 | BluesKaj: what blog | 23:45 |
| WindowSmasher | !upgrade | 23:45 |
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 23:45 |
| oficinia | Hi, i need to go to Kubuntu-es | 23:45 |
| RichardBH | !ES | 23:45 |
| ubotu | Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda. | 23:45 |
| oficinia | Can you tell me how? | 23:45 |
| oficinia | Thanks | 23:45 |
| genii | RichardBH: Actually, it does have acpi, it's using some via chip for that actually. But you have to force the kernel to use it, older bios automatically for safety sake the boot process disables it | 23:45 |
| RichardBH | ah, ok | 23:45 |
| tekteen | type "/join #kubuntu-es" | 23:46 |
| eagles0513875 | this is going to be a headache debugging this embedded java os that i found and make some upgrades to it | 23:46 |
| cedur | YES | 23:46 |
| cedur | its working! | 23:46 |
| cedur | i can't belive it! | 23:46 |
| genii | RichardBH: Other notes: If possible to set in the bios of the system, check the pnp on or off settings. On really old boards it might be something like windows95 compatible or not | 23:47 |
| WindowSmasher | Is there a graphical update manager to upgrade kubuntu? | 23:47 |
| cedur | crap, its not working. | 23:47 |
| ignoramus | Is anyone here any good with SynCE? | 23:47 |
| eagles0513875 | none of the girls i like seem to like nerds like me | 23:47 |
| kubuntunewbie | WindowSmasher: yes, its called adept manager | 23:48 |
| WindowSmasher | Right, but I have to change all the repos by hand, yes? | 23:48 |
| kubuntunewbie | WindowSmasher: nope, let me get exactly how to do it for u | 23:48 |
| RichardBH | genii: what should it be set to if possible? | 23:48 |
| WindowSmasher | Thank you | 23:48 |
| oficinia | Hi | 23:48 |
| eagles0513875 | WindowSmasher: u trying to upgrade to gutsy | 23:48 |
| kubuntunewbie | windows load adept manager go to adept and then go to manage repositories | 23:49 |
| kubuntunewbie | ^^ WindowSmasher | 23:49 |
| eagles0513875 | *jumps out of a window | 23:49 |
| ignoramus | Has anyone been able to connect a WM5 device using synce? | 23:49 |
| genii | RichardBH: If irq assignment is an issue then set the bios NOT to use pnp. Then it will assign an irq to devices on it's own and report those to the OS | 23:49 |
| RichardBH | ok | 23:49 |
| WindowSmasher | k | 23:50 |
| WindowSmasher | I can only jump one version at a time right? | 23:50 |
| genii | WindowSmasher: Yes | 23:50 |
| kubuntunewbie | is there currently any sort of itunes software for linux so i can put song on my aidspod from linux? | 23:50 |
| WindowSmasher | rude | 23:50 |
| WindowSmasher | kubuntunewbie: banshee | 23:50 |
| ignoramus | kubuntunewbie: also, sonbird has ipod support | 23:50 |
| ignoramus | *songbird | 23:50 |
| WindowSmasher | I always forget about songbird | 23:51 |
| WindowSmasher | I used it for a while tho | 23:51 |
| genii | WindowSmasher: If you are trying to upgrade from some version like 5.10 or such, I would say to just back up /home and do a fresh install | 23:51 |
| ignoramus | WindowSmasher: It's been getting a lot better | 23:51 |
| WindowSmasher | I'm on 6.06 | 23:51 |
| genii | WindowSmasher: 6.06 to 6.10 is the biggest leap/headache | 23:52 |
| WindowSmasher | okay | 23:52 |
| WindowSmasher | I'll use my works' ds3 to download 7.10 then | 23:52 |
| nosrednaekim | amarok can do it too! | 23:52 |
| WindowSmasher | haha | 23:52 |
| Chris7mas | hi | 23:52 |
| Chris7mas | don't you know, is there a way to mount or convert to iso a nrg image? | 23:52 |
| ignoramus | WindowSmasher: I actually backed up whatever data, and then just used the 7.10 live cd - a *lot* less headaches | 23:52 |
| nosrednaekim | Chris7mas: what is an nrg? | 23:53 |
| WindowSmasher | nrg is a nero file | 23:53 |
| genii | nrg=nero iso | 23:53 |
| WindowSmasher | right? | 23:53 |
| WindowSmasher | yeah | 23:53 |
| WindowSmasher | ignoramus: okay | 23:53 |
| Chris7mas | nrg image | 23:53 |
| DaSkreech | nosrednaekim: An ISO made by Nero | 23:53 |
| DaSkreech | it's nearly an ISo | 23:53 |
| Chris7mas | so can i mount it as iso with sudo mount -o loop? | 23:53 |
| Chris7mas | i don't have it yet, that's why i'm asking | 23:54 |
| genii | !info nrg2iso | 23:54 |
| ubotu | nrg2iso: Extracts ISO9660 data from Nero ".nrg" files. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.4-1.1 (gutsy), package size 4 kB, installed size 64 kB | 23:54 |
| Chris7mas | thankyou very much genii | 23:54 |
| genii | np | 23:54 |
| WindowSmasher | thanks all | 23:54 |
| ignoramus | Chris7mas: I thought you wanted to convert TO .nrg | 23:54 |
| ignoramus | although i dont know why you would need to | 23:55 |
| === ignoramus is now known as FUD | ||
| genii | Chris7mas: usage is commandline but simple: nrg2iso filename.nrg newisoname.iso | 23:56 |
| FUD | anyone been able to sync a SmartPhone with Kubuntu? | 23:57 |
| kubuntunewbie | FUD: what do u mean by sync? | 23:58 |
| kubuntunewbie | FUD: like sync contacts? | 23:58 |
| kubuntunewbie | FUD: i have a blackberry curve and i can get my data on and off of it with no problem | 23:58 |
| === sjsayers is now known as TheSayers | ||

| kyron | hello all, there seems to be many sources for info on ndiswrapper usage under kubuntu...too many, could anyone point me to a good one applicable to 7.10, thanks! | 23:59 |
| FUD | kubuntunewbie: i've installed SynCE, but it doesn't connect - it just hangs | 23:59 |
