[00:04] not necessarily [00:04] mike-kubuntu: Ok, and for every directory below that that has "r" set, "x" is also set? [00:04] you have to change permissions to remove read/execute for everybody [00:04] if i set +r rights.. yeah, but i dont want to ^^ [00:04] haha [00:04] ardchoille: yes [00:05] shoud i make a directory in /home called Programs?

[00:12] Exploit: not sure :/ [00:12] Exploit: that or maybe /usr/lib/java.../ [00:12] Exploit: I recommend not to install any third party apps to /usr/*, because those directories are governed by the package manager. Better places would be /usr/local or /opt. [00:13] what are we installing anyway? heh === pablo_ is now known as Fastre [00:14] in /lib/ is java virtual machine [00:14] Hola muy buenasa noches, soy un novato y necesito una ayuda, para ver las actualizaciones y descargarme paquetes y tal.. x donde cae?

[00:16] in /bin are java things which looks like references to other files [00:16] and why am i not authorized to run a dam x session [00:17] in /lib is a directory called "java-6-sun-1.6.0.00" [00:17] Exploit, it's actually "java-6-sun-1.6.0.03" I believe [00:18] in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/lib there is a jexec [00:18] okay thank you [00:18] Exploit, what seems to be your problem? [00:18] Hi. Can someone help me with a NDISWRAPPER problem on KDE? A friend got this working for me previously using Gnome, but i've spent 3 hours and got nowhere tonight [00:19] ideally a pointer to a step by step guide, i'm very new to this [00:19] NickPresta: I dont know where my JDK directory is [00:19] i got it with apt-get install java6 [00:20] Exploit, why do you need to find your java-jdk directory? [00:20] i want to install BlueJ (programm to write source code in java) [00:21] and bluej needs it to use the compiler [00:21] Hello! Why Kopete opens by default all links with Konqueror? I've Firefox configured at setting to be the default web browser... [00:22] Exploit, and doing "java -jar bluej-220.jar" doesn't work? [00:22] NickPresta: it does but the window after that wants the directory [00:23] i got a small problem. every now and then my desktop just decides it doesn't want to put a screen saver up, if i look at desktop settings it is supposed to come on, but still doesn't [00:23] anyone know of that kind of problem [00:23] ? [00:24] Exploit, I installed the 'j2sdk1.4' package and then ran 'java -jar blue-220.jar' and it autodetected my jdk directory. Do you have the j2sdk1.4 package? [00:25] no i just made apt-get install java6 [00:25] Exploit, try installing the 'j2sdk1.4' package [00:25] sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre [00:25] that was the line [00:26] and 1.4 is out of date [00:27] Exploit, I'm aware you installed java6, just try installing the 'j2sdk1.4' package for me :) [00:27] how to install the old one? [00:27] Exploit, no, having the java6 packages are fine [00:27] just run `sudo apt-get install j2sdk1.4' [00:28] and then try to install bluej again [00:28] and Exploit you should probably install bluej to /opt/ as that is what the directory is for. === user01 is now known as user01_ [00:31] NickPresta: Wait, /opt is for user-installed stuff? [00:31] why /opt/ or do you mean /usr/opt? [00:31] Exploit: whats the problem your having? bluejay not recognizeing the installed JSDK? [00:32] whit jdk1.4 the installer found: /usr/lib/j2se/1.4 [00:32] tazgodx: the bluej found a directory now, but its 1.4 [00:32] ardchoille, well, as far as I understand it, /opt/ is for optional binaries and such that aren't installed by the system [00:33] and what about /opt as install folder..? [00:33] i thought i should install bluej to /home/exploit/buej [00:33] need it for public use (all users on this machine) [00:34] Exploit, you may, as you wish. It's ultimately your system; you're free to install stuff where ever you like. I like to keep binary packages out of my home directory (since I like to keep ~ clean) but you may not mind having bluej in your home. [00:34] NickPresta: Ah, ok, good to know. [00:34] ardchoille, http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#OPTADDONAPPLICATIONSOFTWAREPACKAGES [00:35] NickPresta: idont want to have it in my /home first.. (want clean too) [00:35] shoud i install it to /usr/opt? [00:35] Exploit, well, if it's installed to /opt, all users should be able to access it, providing they have permission [00:37] NickPresta: thats what i want. is it /opt or /usr/opt? [00:37] Exploit, /opt. There is no /usr/opt by default, AFAIK [00:38] NickPresta: Nice link, ty [00:39] NickPresta: ok its installed now :) [00:40] Exploit, good to hear.

[02:33] the only real idfferance betweek Kubuntu and Ubuntu Is the default Desktop [02:33] because they mostly don't need any [02:33] Sort of the point of the 'server' edition - is the lackof the Desktop :) [02:34] and a very slim set of packages. letting the server admin add what he really needs [02:34] so how the admin should control the seerver ? [02:35] The same way admins have been doing it for years..

[02:41] vzduch: is there a way I can change it back to the way it was in 7.04? [02:41] ignoramus: it did in Europe, so why wouldn't it in North America? :) [02:41] ignoramus fire up the package manager tool search for that game and see what files it installed where.. is one way [02:41] vzduch: good enough :) [02:42] Why would a drive show up - when it dosent exist? [02:42] ignoramus: we already changed back last week [02:42] dr_willis: what do you mean "package manager tool search" ... ? [02:42] How would a DVD drive not exist when it doesn't have a medium? [02:42] ignoramus pick one.,. adept. synaptic, ect... [02:42] dr_willis: k... lemme see... [02:42] or try the Konqueror apt:// address feature [02:43] andresj thats a very 'zen' question. :) [02:43] heh [02:43] not really ... :} [02:43] ignoramus: and rumour has it that it might have been the last daylight time period over here.. the European Commission is investigating whether it really has economical advantages to switch hours twice a year.. [02:44] vzduch : about time. daylight saving saves nothing as far as 'm concerned. [02:44] just confuses my sleeping patterns [02:44] mine too [02:45] Has anyone with an NVIDIA card got tvtime working in buntu? [02:45] If so - how did they do it? ;D [02:46] dr_willis: aha! Adept tells me that the install installs "data files and base characters"... so I don't actually have an executable, right? [02:46] How do I get a source package for my kernel that matches 2.6.20-16-lowlatency [02:46] dr_willis: the largest files it created were .dat files for the characters [02:46] seriously people, how do I get my drives on the desktop all the time? [02:46] andrej: by installing kernel-source, I guess [02:46] when kubuntu will support media (wma,avi,mp3,mms) like ubuntu or mandriva ? [02:46] BigDaddy: why? [02:47] can u tell me what is the next resolution after 1280x1024? [02:47] Did that... gave me linux-source-2.6.20 [02:47] doesn't quite match 2.6.20-16-lowlatency [02:47] no such package available [02:47] bigdaddy: what drives exactly do you want on the desktop? ubuntu doesn't by default, and neither does windows- it's not really necessary or even handy [02:48] vzduch: because I want to have one click access to them. One drive for photos and music, one for my XP partition, one for my linux partition [02:48] kubuntu does by default [02:48] when they are availible they show up there [02:48] 7.04 had the drives on the desktop. it was an option. I have mine turned on. [02:48] bigdaddy: you have three separate HDDs? [02:48] DevideZer: it does..? [02:49] ignoramus: I have 4, I have /home on it's own [02:49] *sigh* ... of course. I don't want the source tree - just the headers [02:49] Thanks everyone :} [02:49] devidezer: install automatix2 and you can download free codecs. I would also say non-free, but that would be wrong to do ;) [02:50] !upgrade [02:50] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:50] automatix-- [02:50] theres no need to install it [02:50] all codecs are availible [02:50] ignoramus , 1) also with firefox ? 2) why wrong todo ? [02:50] ignoramus: Please do not recommend automatix, it's dangerous [02:50] I wouldn't use automatix, I have heard upgrade nightmares [02:50] DevideZer: whats not working? [02:50] ignoramus: don't recommend automatix [02:50] automatix is a nightbear [02:50] lol, good to see I am not the only one [02:51] Good (insert appropriate time), everyone ... tea time [02:51] you can use the automatix repo if you think it fit, but DON'T use the program [02:51] hydrogen , can you see this ? http://yes.walla.co.il/?w=2/7802/1188018 [02:51] that's what everyone says, but when i first installed kubuntu (it was on feisty), and i never had it break anything [02:51] !worksforme | ignoramus [02:51] ignoramus: 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/ [02:52] ardchoille: what does the newest incarnation of automatix2 actually break? [02:52] Hi all, I'm having trouble loading the glx module, it's in xorg.conf but when I startx it says the module could not be found and that I should try reinstalling the nvidia drivers, I haven't done that yet but I might try it next. Discuss. [02:52] DevideZer: I'm not sure what I'm supposed to see..? [02:52] ignoramus: This is not the place for this. We are not to recommend automatix, plain and simple. [02:53] hydrogen , this is video [02:53] can you see it with ff ? [02:53] ardchoille: i didn't realize we had that rule. if this is the case, I will not mention it again [02:53] even if the plan for hardy is to possibly integrate automatix.. [02:53] but thats another story! [02:53] From what ive seen of Gutsy - its made automatix rather un-needed [02:53] DevideZer: no, but I tend to not install video stuff in my internet browser because 90% of it is spam [02:54] Dr_Willis: Indeed [02:54] hydrogen: i just read that on fscked - i don't see it as a big issue [02:54] ignoramus: neither do I [02:54] as long as its fixed [02:54] hydrogen , :( [02:54] before hand [02:54] which I'd assume it will be [02:55] !automatix [02:55] Automatix2 is a 3rd-party product attempting to automate installation of additional software.

[02:56] ardchoille: isn't 99% of linux software 3rd party apps that can potentially screw you??? [02:56] DevideZer: Did you install automatix? [02:57] im not in linux atm but i will [02:57] ignoramus: When in this channel we are expected to abide by its rules.. whether we agree with those rules or not. Automatix in a no-no here. [02:57] automatix isnt oss S? [02:57] I also just realized there is no home icon on the desktop [02:57] DevideZer: Please don't use automatix or you may end up reinstalling your os [02:57] ardchoille: what about easyubuntu? [02:58] !easyubuntu | ignoramus [02:58] ignoramus: easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ - For help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu [02:58] ardchoille , why ? [02:59] Last i looked Automatix was not OSS and the 'author' was a bit of a hard person to 'get along with' :) [02:59] ignoramus: Those scripts are, in my opinion, worthless. It's much better to learn how to do things yourself rather than have someone's unsupported script do it for you. If something breaks, you are better equipped to fix it yourself if you learned how to do things to begin with. [02:59] !automatix | DevideZer [02:59] There was a detailed review/dissection of automatix on some web site.. it had some very very very bad programing issues. :) [02:59] DevideZer: Automatix2 is a 3rd-party product attempting to automate installation of additional software.

[03:00] ardchoille: agreed, but I know when i first started with linux, there were certain programs I used that gave me fully-working media within minutes [03:00] ardchoille , so to install it or not ? [03:00] DevideZer: Please don't use automatix. [03:00] Kubuntu-restricted-extras --- Is a meta package - that installs Most all the 'restricted' media/java/other bits - that people commonly want/need [03:01] so for me 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras' replaces anything Automatix would do for me. :) [03:01] ardchoille , so how i can see media mms ? [03:01] But that package dosent get mentioned Much. [03:01] DevideZer: Which type of media? [03:02] !restricted [03:02] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [03:02] DevideZer: ^^ [03:02] devidezer: thats one issue with kubuntu (and linux in general), is that getting media support and codecs can be tricky [03:02] ardchoille , can you see this : http://yes.walla.co.il/?w=1/7022/1186713 [03:02] Of course media support under windows can be JUST as bad.. and 100x as dangerous. :) [03:02] DevideZer: What is that? [03:02] devidezer: once you get them all, it is a great experience, IMHO [03:03] Friend had to do a reinstall of XP when WMP11 was told 'yes' to 'automaticially install codec' :) moral is - DONT install codecs for porn from Russian web sites... [03:03] ardchoille , video embeddded [03:03] DevideZer: I don't use video [03:03] I like installing russian porn from codec sites :) [03:04] ignoramus yep.. he told me.. 'as soon as i clicked on OK' I knew i was Totally Dead.... ' [03:04] :) [03:04] ardchoille , what this mean ? [03:04] we never did get all the spyware off. [03:04] dr_willis: what the heck was he expecting??? [03:05] Dr_willis: did you tell him to install Linux? [03:06] DevideZer: if it isn't in the official repos, I don't install it. [03:06] ignoramus thats on his other HD. :) so he was able to recover his files.. then reinstall [03:06] firefox is int the official repos .. . [03:06] Could be why I've never had any major problems in any distro I've used. [03:07] Dr_willis: he was one of the lucky ones... [03:07] Dr_Willis , can you see this video in the page with firefox ? [03:07] devidezer: please link to another site containing video [03:07] DevideZer: Firefox is in the official repos, but I use Konqueror [03:07] DevideZer i never watch video Inside the browser - normally [03:08] ignoramus , why , what is wrong with this one ? [03:08] Hi, I have been trying for years to get a USB WLAN NIC working, and now Ubuntu is working with it. I can ping google.com and sign on AIM through kopete, but konqueror refuses to go to any websites. [03:08] Dr_Willis , but the media is embeded ... [03:08] devidezer: i'm not sure... maybe try one more recognizable to average users [03:08] DevideZer there are video-grabber extensions for firefox. :) [03:09] ignoramus: Is that video he linked to a flash video? [03:09] ignoramus , its very average . . . just avideo what is wrong ? [03:09] Dr_Willis , try to grab video from this page http://yes.walla.co.il/?w=1/7027/1186704 [03:10] ardchoille: not sure ... takes forever to load, but it looks suspect [03:10] I don't recognise the link, which is why I didn't click on it [03:10] devidezer: why do you need others to look at video for you??? [03:11] DevideZer im not in a Linux Desktop at the moment. [03:11] ignoramus , i dont need , i just want to know if other can see the video in kubuntu because i cant so i need someone to tell me how [03:11] Devidezer: what's wrong with YouTube or any other well-known site that uses embedded Flash? [03:12] youtube works for me on Kubuntu :) [03:12] me too [03:12] stage6 does also. [03:12] me three [03:12] flash works . . . for me but there is also MMS .. . i want to be able to view it [03:12] mms ? [03:12] what is mms? [03:12] thats what shoutcast uses? [03:12] microsoft media stream [03:12] windows media stream [03:12] For some reason, Gutsy will no longer let me lock my session... choose "Lock Session" and nothing happens. [03:13] Cant say that ive ever seen a mms stream then [03:13] I /think/ mplayerplug-in can play it [03:13] hydrogen Hmm.. that does sound familer. :) [03:14] hydrogen: VLC can play it [03:14] i believe xine can play mms streams as well [03:14] vzduch , vlc plugin for firefox ? [03:14] VLC should be installed regardless- it's pretty darn good [03:14] devidezer: just install the standalone [03:15] but [03:15] the point is [03:15] DevideZer: I think such a thing exists.. the stand-alone player can in any case [03:15] he wants to be able to view the media without the browser [03:15] I think mplayerplug-in can [03:15] devidezer: mplayer is good too [03:15] what is stand alone ? [03:15] devidezer: not a browser plugin- it is it's own program === sam64 is now known as Goop2 [03:16] ignoramus , so when the page is load the play is self open and the video start ? [03:17] devidezer: ideally, yes. Your browser should ask how you want to open the file, point it to the program of your choice, and voila [03:17] DevideZer: vlc plugin mplayer plugin and sometimes totem plugin will all play via the browser embedded [03:17] devidezer: type this in konsole: sudo apt-get install vlc [03:17] with mplayer you can right click and save the video [03:17] stream [03:18] also for firefox ? [03:18] t00lzf0nt: i think with mms, the browser cannot handle it, so it asks what program to use (... i think) [03:19] I use mms in my browser [03:19] i stand corrected :/ [03:19] t00lzf0nt: you can configure your browsers mimetypes, however [03:20] hmm bad example, [03:21] Ok I'm a n00b and need some help, I have the latest (7.10) live cde and I want to install it on my exisiting linux partion, but it keeps wanting to install on my windoze part, how do I work around this? === NetersLandreau__ is now known as NetersLandreau [03:22] motty: choose custom partitioning and make your existing partition / (the root directory) [03:22] anyone know how to make windows stick to one desktop in the taskbar using pager? [03:22] I tried that and it told me "error not root partion" [03:22] I'm using to harddrives [03:22] two [03:23] motty you want to replace your existing linux install? [03:23] yes, I am using mepis 6.5 [03:23] motty you dont plan on keeping any of the linux data/home dirs do you? [03:23] and I want to over write it with kubutu 7.10 [03:24] I know I have to over write the root thats ok [03:24] nope [03:24] thats a debian distro and not compatible [03:24] motty you could just delete the existing linux paritions. leaving part of the hd 'unallocated' and tell the installer to use the unallocated space. it should partition/set it all up automaticially then. [03:24] Mepis uses Ubuntu's repos, doesn't it? [03:24] contrast83 not any more [03:24] hmmm, ok appearently you need to hack your mplayer plugin, so i consider myself wrong for that one [03:25] it uses ubuntu and debin [03:25] contrast83: Mepis 6.5 does [03:25] Oh ok. I was gonna suggest a dselect-upgrade, but I guess that won't work. [03:25] they switched back to debian, [03:25] I think Mepis was went ubuntu,, then the dev. got mad.. so went back to Debian [03:25] 7.0 switched back to Debian for the base [03:25] yep mepis 7 is full debian [03:25] my grub and i are having issues. with the drives in the same order as when i installed kubuntu, it automatically started windows and didnt give me te grub menu. if i flip the first 2 hds, i get the grub menu and windows entry still starts, BUT ubuntu doesnt. there are 5 hard drives. 3 sata and 2 pata [03:26] does seem kind of pointless having debian AND k/u/x buntu [03:26] I tried that as well Dr is still gave me "not root partion error" I even checked the CD to make sure it was not defective [03:26] it's wierd [03:27] nevermind. supergrub "fixed it" and now i get a grub error 15 [03:27] nonewmsgs: You might try the SuperGRUB cd; just put them back in the same order as when you installed Kubuntu and that should put GRUB back on your MBR. [03:27] motty Hmm.. you Might need to reboot after deleting the partitions. [03:27] Oh, heh. nm then [03:28] I'm using a 20 gig partion and a 5 gig swap (I know I don't need it that large but thats how it ended up) [03:28] contrast that didnt work and im not very good with supergrub. i hate how boot options always use UUIDs [03:28] so use qpart and delete the current linux partions? [03:29] then reboot [03:29] be sure you apply the changes when you edit them :) [03:29] nonewmsgs: I'm not really sure then. Do you have / and /home on seperate partitions? [03:29] guys, I have peoblem to connect to a WPA network. Cccan any one help? [03:29] on seperate drives [03:29] no [03:30] same drives [03:30] motty: is it even possible to create 5 GB swap space? o0 [03:30] for most applications a maximum of 1 GB is enough [03:30] amir_: is your wireless card being detected? [03:30] vzduch without manually playing with partitions it gave me a 5gb one. since i have 2gb of ram [03:30] thats whats so wired about it, mandriva and mepis have no problem but the ubuntu distros freak out [03:30] nonewmsgs: You might just want to reinstall then. Do you know how to dselect-upgrade? [03:31] I have 3 different ubuntu distos and all of them do the same thing [03:31] sigh. this isnt a new problem. i have installed it before and had this happen [03:32] so basically you're telling me to trial and error the 5 drives in bios and keep reinstalling until one time grub is happy? [03:32] That's not exactly what I meant. I didn't know this was a recurring issue. [03:33] Have you filed a bug report? [03:33] it's an issue with the way grub handles sata and pata. it's in a different order than bios [03:33] or even linux [03:33] So that's a no? [03:34] i posted in the forums a month or 3 ago and got no response [03:34] http://www.launchpad.net [03:35] Sorry, man. I don't know what else to suggest. [03:35] motty: if you think *buntu is strange in this respect, try Fedora *duck* [03:35] well, I like mepis but is old, I want some new things but everytime I try toi update parts of it it breaks [03:36] supergrub will let me boot linux directly, but if i ever hit a regular menu, i'm screwed [03:36] all I want is destop weather for gosh sakes, that and all my mouse buttons to work [03:36] what might be convienant is if i could just install grub and then do a trial and error that way [03:36] Hello! Is there a way I can change the color of the Crystal window decorations [03:37] I'd like my title bar to be a darker blue than the default [03:37] extra mouse buttons? yea - i use those.. for grenades and medpacks in Quake. :) [03:37] or zoom and grapple in nexuiz [03:37] The Gentoo Wiki/Guides have a lot of good info/example xorg.conf entrys for the various Uber-Mice that exist [03:37] if i delete the mbr in supergrub and reinstall it there, would that work [03:38] nonewmsgs: Have you tried putting /boot on a seperate partition? [03:38] there doesn't seem to be any configuration option for that in "system settings => appearance => window decorations" [03:38] interesting idea [03:38] That seems to help for some people. Not sure if it'd be relevant in your situation though. [03:38] the weird thing is, I got them all working (9 on razor diamodback) but now it doesn't work the same way [03:39] Ill stay with my MX518 :) [03:39] * vzduch has been keeping /boot separate for a while now, no problems yet [03:39] nonewmsgs: I just googled for "pata sata grub ubuntu" and it appears that this is a fairly common issue. [03:39] but will BIOS go to that or the "first drive" [03:40] Not sure. If possible, I would personally try to put /boot on the first partition of the first drive just to be safe. [03:40] thats my problem. what IS the first drive [03:40] the first drive in bios is not the first drive in windows is not the first drive in grub is not the first drive in linux [03:40] *cries* [03:40] yikes [03:40] exactly [03:41] does kwikdisk tell you? [03:41] one sec it was in windows [03:42] it does on mine at any rate [03:43] what also doesnt help me out is i have a pata card [03:43] and a mboard pata port [03:44] maybe this would be easier if i exclusively use card? [03:44] it might [03:45] the funny thing is windows installation crashes because it wont install to a pata card [03:45] Anyone know if/when KDE 4 Beta 4 will be making its way into the repos? [03:45] beta 4 is still very buggy... [03:45] it sure is [03:45] I have it on live CD looks great tho [03:45] No more so than beta 3, from the impression I got. I was just checking out the Debian live CD last night. [03:46] motty: Same one? [03:46] well I built it from SVN last night.. [03:46] no a beta of mepis [03:46] Ahh [03:46] it set up all 9 button on my mouse on the live CD that was cool [03:47] impressive [03:47] I thought so [03:47] both that your mouse has that many buttons and that it detected them all. :-P [03:47] ok all pata ribbons are on card [03:47] I'm a gamer freak [03:47] ohh ok [03:47] lol [03:47] have been ever since wofstien came out [03:47] penis comparison.. *duck* [03:47] lol [03:48] vzduch: ahem [03:48] who didn't see that coming?

[03:48] not me, I'm no good at 'em just love to kill stuff LOL [03:48] bazhang: yep. but right now I'm severely lacking some [03:48] motty: you played Alien Arena 6.10? [03:48] I bet :} [03:49] so now let me try the "default fix" with supergrub [03:49] yes I just got it yesterday, the bots on easy kick my ass [03:49] lol [03:49] I'm almost 50 and can't see them to well [03:50] I kick ass in nexuz tho LOL [03:50] not as much background clutter [03:53] ok well I'm gonna go try and get a ubuntu distro to install otherwise I'll check out debian [03:54] thanks for all the help, later [03:55] ok that didn't do anything [03:55] apparantly both pata drives were in the card but the dvdrom wasnt [03:56] and launchpad has both bugs as confirmed [03:57] hello [03:57] Well, it seems that video playback is suddenly and inexplicably broken. [03:58] None of the videos that I have will play. :/ [03:58] is there a graphical app in linux which tells me how muh data is coming to a spicific connection [03:58] for e.g, a download app. [03:59] i m using ketstats, but it only shows global speeds [03:59] Kr4t05: what kind of errors are you getting? [03:59] oops [04:01] yay i played with boot orders and eventually i guessed right. apparantly grub always considers pata first [04:02] thanks for your moral support contrast. it helps to know someone out there cares :) [04:03] what is a good IM program? [04:04] pigeon? [04:04] pidgin [04:04] Kopete [04:04] and it's Pidgin, not pidgeon :) [04:04] yes [04:04] er pideon* [04:04] bah [04:05] o0 [04:05] Pidgin > Kopete [04:05] good night folks :) [04:05] sorry i was moving my 50+lb computer. heaviest damn computer i ever moved [04:05] !good [04:05] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[04:07] yeah [04:07] nonewmsgs: that has been fixed a week ago already [04:07] navets: and yes, kopete crashes to, especially since i updated to gutsy [04:07] update your system [04:08] sweet [04:08] Jucato: Maybe its just because I haven't looked very hard, but I haven't seen plugin support [04:08] i would use kopete but it wont show my file transfers [04:08] i haven't been playing with it much since then [04:08] and the gutsy upgrade sucks [04:08] Goop2: Settings -> Configure Plugins? [04:08] it broke all of my stuff [04:08] no more sound [04:08] cant dim my laptop screen [04:08] constant crashes [04:08] etc [04:08] i have seen it break 3/4 systems i tried it on [04:08] Goop2: Kopete has Now Playing/Listening, Logging/History, Web Presence, Auto Replace, etc. [04:09] this was the only successful one [04:09] Jucato: oh.. heh.. like I said, I haven't looked that hard =P [04:09] i am going to move to PCLinuxOS [04:09] navets: yeah, me too [04:09] Goop2: and that's only the built-in ones... not sure what other plugins are available in kde-apps.org :) [04:09] a clean upgrade works fine [04:09] but feel free to try pclos [04:09] and feel free to try another distro everytime something goes wrong :) [04:09] What advantages does PCLOS offer over Ubuntu? [04:10] (and I bet you'll be going around a lot...) [04:10] rpm [04:10] navets: i think u should use pidgin [04:10] even though debs are more common now than rpms [04:10] MagicCow: RPM (Mandriva) based, almost all codecs installed by default [04:10] x4245: i do, but it crashes 3-4 times during a 5 min convo, very very annoying [04:10] Codecs are easy enough to get though. [04:11] Is RPM a major advantage over Deb, or just another personal choice? [04:11] usually personal choice [04:11] i prefer debs [04:11] or technical... [04:11] I was looking at PCLOS, I've finally got everything set up and working now though, wonder if it's worth it. [04:11] navets: i know how to make it unfreeze [04:12] x4245: how [04:12] Compiz destroyed my system temporarily though.. what a pain that program is. [04:12] MagicCow: if it works *for you* then it's worth it, no matter what other say [04:12] navets: u using the shortcuts to open it right? [04:12] navets: from the kmenu > internet [04:13] x4245: i just open it with katapult [04:13] oh yeah i was wondering. if you install buntu with the vga driver, does it not install compbiz, or what al does that do [04:13] navets: well, open konsole [04:13] * MagicCow shrugs. [04:13] x4245: k [04:13] navets: make sure that pidgin is closed by checking ps -ef [04:14] navets: then use pidgin & [04:14] has anyone else had more troubles with WinE in Gutsy than Feisty? [04:14] nonewmsgs: you need the proper driver for your video card. and that still won't install compiz. compiz is a program you have to install. [04:14] navets: this'll make sure that it doesnt crash [04:14] !compiz | nonewmsgs [04:14] nonewmsgs: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default.

The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion [04:14] what about in g:Pbuntu [04:15] x4245: alright ill try it out [04:15] navets: ok [04:18] Can anybody hear me? [04:18] nope, nobody. [04:18] my question properly stated is this. i installed a gutsy ubuntu and it killed performance because it was a low end vampire nv card. i restarted and selected vga mode and it seemed a lot better and i was wondering the full effects of that [04:19] I'm having problems installing * on my computer. [04:19] full effects of selecting vga mode [04:19] Nothing will install. [04:19] what error does it give [04:19] I just tried the latest Ubuntu, both graphical and alternate discs. [04:19] I must have gone through half a stack of discs, burning using different programs, different speeds. [04:20] you're not using cdrw's, are you? [04:20] The alternate discs won't even boot, and the graphical installers just get up to the part where I see the wallpaper and a mouse, nothing else. [04:20] contrast83: CD-Rs. [04:20] I used many different manufacturers. [04:20] Verbatim, Memorex, Maxell, etc. [04:20] i have seen issues with cdrws. why do they mess up [04:20] nonewmsgs: not sure. they usually work for me for 2-3 installs, then they crap out. [04:21] I also tried Fedora, PCLinuxOS, Mint Linux, and Debian. Be it DVD or CD, nothing will install on my computer. [04:21] Absolutely no OS or Distro that I have tried so far will successfully install. [04:21] nzk: what kind of computer? [04:21] This wouldn't be much of a problem if my current Ubuntu install wasn't FUBAR. [04:21] contrast83: A Dell Inspiron XPS Gen 1 [04:21] nzk: what is the underlying system? [04:21] proc? [04:22] I've reformatted it many times, but recently absolutely nothing will install. [04:22] contrast83: x86 [04:22] Use a different cd-rom...? [04:22] kevman_: ^^ [04:22] which is a better card to run on kubuntu, ati rage 128 or a 3dfx voodoo3 tv card?( i know both cards suck but those are my choices) [04:22] he's tried all kinds of different ones [04:22] I mean Cd-rom DRIVE [04:22] ahhhhh. [04:22] nzk: what speed are you writing at, and are you using dao (sp?) [04:23] that makes a lot more sense [04:23] bazhang: I tried every single speed. [04:23] Oh, an XPS. Isn't it like... 4 inches thick? [04:23] kevman_: It's a laptop. [04:23] kevman_: 5. [04:23] I can't really get another optical drive short of ordering a new one. [04:23] Hehe. I had a friend who had a Prescott-based one... [04:23] nzk, has you a USB drive? [04:23] Nay. [04:24] Like a thumbdrive? [04:24] Oh, yes. [04:24] Use it. [04:24] I don't think it supports booting from that, however. [04:24] nzk: have you tried booting from usb key [04:24] What CPU class it is? [04:24] bazhang: No. [04:24] kevman_: I forgot. [04:24] I swear English is my native language :> [04:24] haha [04:24] Whatever they were using in Dec 2004 :\ [04:25] P4, then. It'll boot from USB. [04:25] I thought you meant architecture. [04:25] I already said it was a 3.46ghz P4. [04:25] Oh. [04:25] It'll boot from USB. [04:25] Alright, then. How do I go about doing so? Just put the same image as I would burn to a CD on a thumbdrive? [04:26] You could also do PXE. [04:26] Eh, depends on your distro. [04:26] Explain. [04:26] pendrivelinux dot com has the answers [04:26] Um, USB would be far easier. [04:27] what's pxe? is that a way to boot from an iso image (i always wondered if that was possible) [04:27] bazhang: No can do. [04:27] PXE is booting accross the network. It needs a very specific DHCP, DNS, and FTP srever. [04:27] Unless I want to break my hand, I'm not opening Firefox. [04:27] What? [04:28] er...what? [04:28] nzk: have you considered getting disks from shipit dot com? [04:28] Firefox will unrecoverably freeze my computer, requiring a hard reboot. I can't kill it from SSH, or anything. This will piss me off, and make my punch through my drywall. [04:28] bazhang: I'm not going to bother. [04:28] why can't you kill it from SSH? [04:28] ok [04:28] Process won't show up, raylu [04:28] o.0 [04:28] ill mail you a disc [04:28] That's... odd. [04:28] what do you do to reveal the process? [04:29] top [04:29] How big is your thumbdrive? [04:29] Its probably just no using any CPU. [04:29] have you tried just killall -9 firefox-bin [04:29] kevman_: 4,096,000,000 bytes [04:29] raylu: Yes. [04:29] strange indeed [04:30] nzk: could you try burning on a friend's cd writer? [04:31] I've tried three different CD writers. [04:32] Heh, I only now how to do a USB install with Gentoo. [04:32] is the image the right md5? [04:32] nzk: well, I made many coasters in the past, so not sure how to help, apart from someone sending you a disk or shipit [04:32] Your drive is shot. That's all there is to it. [04:32] nonewmsgs: Yes. And every burning program I use verifies it. [04:32] weird [04:32] kevman_: So how do I boot from a thumbdrive, in the sense of what do I put on it. [04:34] I don't know, tbh === ronin_ is now known as Ellipsys [04:34] I'm looking, nothing's coming up. [04:34] Anyone running the fglrx 8.42.3 driver here?

[04:59] What GPU we talkin' here? [04:59] yeah.. no autotomatic dual graphics.. [04:59] humm i thought gutsy was supost to have very good dual monitor support [04:59] If you get a nvidia card.. and are using the nvidia driver.. you might be able to use nvidia-control panel [05:00] you have to setup X to use dual monitors..

[07:35] No bios in OS X, but something called efi [07:35] i bot up to cd... [07:35] boot* [07:35] install it on the partition... [07:35] and boot up to the partition [07:36] need boot camp for that. [07:36] no... [07:36] ic u iz a mac n00b :D [07:36] i think... [07:36] we'll see.. [07:36] ... [07:36] i've booted up to dvds... [07:36] lol [07:36] Dry_Ice, that sounds like a boot loader [07:36] not a BIOS [07:36] still [07:37] you can boot up to cds and dvds [07:37] linux ones? [07:37] on the other hand, they might just call their bios' code "efi" [07:37] ... [07:37] all in all, i think we can settle on "mac should tell the user what's going on instead of assuming it's doing what the user wants correctly" [07:37] efi is something firmware interface, i think [07:38] oh, okies [07:38] yeah [07:38] extensible [07:38] Dry_Ice: have you used a linux cd/dvd to boot before? [07:38] i use dvds for diagnostics all the time [07:38] bazhang: no... [07:38] EFI is intended as a significantly improved replacement of the old legacy BIOS firmware interface historically used by all IBM PC compatible personal computers[1].

[07:44] oh, and if you catch me using konversation...that's a big giveaway that i've gotten linux installed =) [07:44] haha [07:44] i'm taking full advantage of our time rollback :P [07:44] :} [07:45] safari sucks, firefox is a powersucker [07:45] opera is ok...

[09:58] hi guys - is it normal that amarok freezez up for like 60 secs on an idle 1,8ghz/768mb box, when loading songs onto an ipod with amarok??? [09:58] And more importantly, why the hell is there no menu entry for kcontrol? [09:58] lordofthepigs: System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Session Manager [09:59] * lordofthepigs wistles... [09:59] so does kcontrol really have more stuff than systemsettings?

[10:12] how can i connect to a windows shared drive? [10:12] sorry to ask cilly questions, but in SuSe's site, when u want to download it recommends to choose 64bit verson if you have core 2 [10:12] blendtux: Core2 Duo is [10:12] blendtux: pls ignore [10:13] blekos: Core2 IS 64 bit [10:13] ah ok.thought it was dual core only [10:13] i wont ignore it timri [10:13] :) [10:13] blendtux: :) [10:14] ok so my next question is, should i install the 64 of kubuntu?

[10:18] 64 bit if it's a server , 32 bit if it's a desktop [10:22] hmm... I have a weird problem with my headset. When I plug it in, the sound stops coming out of the speakers, but doesn't actually come out from the headset [10:22] after looking around a little, It seems that I should be using the "HDA Intel" sound device [10:23] but I can't find it in the list of devices in "Sound System" settings [10:23] It used to work fine in Feisty [10:23] Note that the selection of channels is also different from the one I had in Feisty [10:24] seems /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist? === jordan is now known as Inphoar [10:25] Hey. [10:25] how do i connect to a windows network? [10:25] Wow, a lot of people in here. [10:26] atfq [10:26] !samba | KalEl [10:26] KalEl: 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 [10:27] Hmm, I'm going. :P [10:27] BYE! [10:27] ok [10:27] thanks [10:30] can anyone tell me the command for backing up my whole system? [10:30] that is to create an image [10:31] create an image of the currently mounted hard drive? not sure if you can do that with a mounted drive [10:32] would that be the 'dd' command? [10:33] generally i use simple backup program [10:33] but i need smg that will allow me to have my whole system and settings, so i just reinstall the current version and then [10:33] untar (?) my backup [10:34] sounds like you just need to backup your home directory [10:34] if i backup my home dir, then i need to re-install the progs [10:35] ok, i know i can extract a list from the adept-manager and then re-iporting [10:35] then the 'dd' command would likely be in order [10:35] but i am looking for one thing solution [10:35] hm dd command? [10:35] gui you mean [10:36] doesnt matter if it's gui or not [i'd prefer gui though] [10:37] one thing solution is to backup everything, and not having a list of progs, a backup of home dir, a backup of this & that [10:37] blekos: you could have a look at partimage (http://www.partimage.org/Main_Page), we are considering using it at work [10:39] i'll have a look thnx :) [10:39] well for an automated backup system i'd have 2 hard drives and a samba share or something to put the disk image onto, then i'd install something small like dsl with a separate boot partition, then install ubuntu server or something, then create a corn job to restart the server every 24hrs, then create a startup script that coppies /boot/grub/menu.lst_dsl to menu.lst, and in dsl i'd create a bash script to mount the network shares and [10:39] dd an image onto the network share or to the second disk, and create a starup entry to copy menu.lst_kubuntu to menu.lst, basicly menu.lst makes the default startup option to dsl or kubuntu depending on what is to be restarted next, thus every 24 hours ubuntu restarts, goes into dsl, mounts the network uses dd to make an image of the network share, then restarts itself and goes into kubuntu and then carries on as the server :D [10:40] i mean uses dd to make an image of the hard disk onto the network share [10:41] Is there any way I can make kubuntu totally reset my sound settings? [10:41] oh wait [10:42] have a question, can GLXbe disabled at all in gutsy, tried # out GLX in the modules of xorg.conf and dri, still able to run glxgears, reason I'm asking is cause I am having a winr game issue relating to failed op codes on GLX [10:42] winr/wine [10:42] lordofthepigs: totally reset? to what? === asanchez is now known as alejandro [10:42] To the point where it does the same configuration that it does at install time? [10:43] you could change the settings here: kcontrol > Sound & Multimedia > Sound System [10:44] The thing is my sound used to work fine in Feisty, but my headset doesn't work in gutsy. [10:44] I remember I had to fiddle a lot to get my headset to work in feisty. [10:45] oh, thats probably not a settings issue, probably a bug [10:45] but I have no idea how I did that... [10:45] headset? [10:45] headphones? [10:46] is this for a laptop where the headphone jack stopped working or something? [10:46] exactly [10:48] more or less, how big is the download for an upgrade from feisty to gutsy? [10:48] Ace2016: You sound like you know something about it...

[10:52] lordofthepigs: i had to add "options snd-hda-intel model=laptop" to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base to get mine to work [10:52] I'll try that [10:52] how do I restart alsa after that?

[11:03] is it because I have a 64-bit kubuntu ? [11:03] Ace2016: Do you have any idea where I can find the list of options there are for snd-hda-intel?

I have two screens, one of them should run at 1600x1200@75 and one at 1600x1200@85, while the 75hz one is on the left and the 85hz one is on the right, and the 85hz one should be the primary one. So the seconadry screen is on the left. I also want to run two independet X screens. [13:14] The nvidia drviers are installed correctly, but however I configure xorg.conf (with the kde tool, nvidia-settings or by editingit manually) I can't get it working that way. Whenever I log in the right/primary screen0 has a resolution of 1024x786 and both screens run at lower Hz then I want them to. [13:14] After the login I can go into nvidia-settings and manually change it to the correct values and that works, the monitors are capable of such resoultions and frequencies.

[13:19] !rpm [13:19] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [13:19] I thought I read somewhere that 7.10 would allow support, but I guess not.... :( [13:19] hi [13:19] tekstacy: install 'alien' [13:20] I tried that, but it seems to screw up the package [13:20] shapeshifter ive been reading your xorg and it looks perrfect to me :\ === cloud__ is now known as ChaosMachine [13:20] nosrednaekim: there is one more problem.. what do i have to write under "program" into the "command" line? if i write bluej he cannot start it because its not executable.. the file is a shellscript too [13:20] not ruling out the package is screwed up in the first place...it's from Verizon [13:20] I have problem with bluetooth and 7.10, [13:21] tekstacy: tried with option "-c"?

It doesn't go fullscreen anymore on Gutsy Xubuntu [13:22] nonewmsgs_: Yeah, I think that too, I just don't get it, why does X always forget my screen setup? I can change it back to what I want one I'm logged in but this is totally annoying :| [13:22] *problems [13:23] nosrednaekim: i got a filed for "working directory" there is "/opt/bluej" now and under command "bluej" (thats the name of my file) [13:23] MatBoy: maybe there are problems with it running from inside XFCE ;) [13:23] no.... get rid of the working directory and put the whole path under command [13:23] nosrednaekim, yep that is what I'm trying to find out... I have seen errors before on it [13:24] but that was months ago [13:24] nosrednaekim: ahh now it works [13:24] nosrednaekim: whats the working directory good for?

[13:26] chances are quite high. but this totaly depends on the package [13:26] MatBoy: I don't use it [13:26] nosrednaekim, ok [13:27] Kann mir jemand Helfen? http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/126905/ [13:27] okay thanks so much nosrednaekim! I'll go offline for now :) [13:28] Goodbye everyone [13:28] tekstacy: to prevent x from loading you have to write "single" to the end of your boot-line (in the grub menu press "e" at your kubuntu line, add "single" to the end of the "kernel" line, press "return" and press "b" to boot) [13:29] but this also prevents most other daemons from beeing started [13:29] (for this single boot) [13:29] if you finished your work type 'init 2' and everything skipped gets loaded [13:29] i have follow all, but i cant send file from pc to cell but no the revers [13:30] seezer, thanks [13:30] I installed the wrong ati driver and couldn't get back in to change it [13:31] ah [13:31] you don't have to reboot for that [13:32] seezer, the .deb installed fine, but it turns out the package is no good for me. But hey, it was a learning process [13:32] ;) [13:32] how do I do it without rebooting? [13:33] larry: might want to search good for your cell phone model and linux [13:33] *google [13:33] what exactly are you trying to do? [13:33] change the ati driver back to the old one? [13:33] get to a text login so I can dpkg-reconfigure x [13:34] nosrednaekim, with 7.04 is all right, with 7.10 no [13:34] tekstacy: press ctrl+alt+f1 [13:34] :) unless you know a better way? [13:34] larry: no clue... bluetooth is one of thise things which I have never tested, and don';t have the hardware to do so. [13:34] thanks [13:34] ctrl+alt+f7 should bring you back to the running X session [13:34] but after reconfiguration you should restart kdm [13:35] ok thanks [13:35] /etc/init.d/kdm restart [13:35] (as root [sudo]) [13:35] now if i sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop from kubuntu6.10_AMD64 is it going to give me the 64bit ubuntu or the 32bit [13:36] Today I might install kubuntu on a super-badass box....

[13:40] this only starts the tool, loads the config and exits back again [13:41] anton__, kill (pid) [13:41] if you put this into .xinitrc or something, it gets loaded whenever you login [13:42] anton__, or in kubuntu you can just use ctrl + esc for a graphical alternative. [13:42] seezer: The problem is, after login everything is wrong, and if I start nvidia-settings the configuration is actually wrong in there, too. === martinb is now known as mb999 [13:42] Shapeshifter: ah ok [13:42] and you press 'save to x configuration file' in nvidia-settings, right? [13:42] Hi all. Where do I go to report a bug in the upgrade to edgy? [13:43] seezer: Someone at #xorg just told me something about "preferredmode" but it seems not to apply to the nvidia driver or something like that [13:43] Getting a 404 error when trying to get a package list: http://flomertens.keo.in/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz [13:43] seezer: yes, have look at the xorg.conf, it looks right, doesn't it: http://pastebin.ca/760852 [13:44] mb999: switch mirrors [13:44] I did [13:45] thanks! [13:45] seezer: Unfortunately I gtg now, you can leave me a message, I'll read it, thanks for you help [13:45] Went with the version upgrade. Changed to main server. Will try again with danish mirrors now. Thanks for the advice. [13:45] Shapeshifter: ah sorry. missed that. i did all those things with "twin view" but you disabled that [13:45] haven't had any problems with that (years ago..) [13:45] ok, one more question..... [13:46] Shapeshifter: i guess i can't help you in the finite time i have today.. [13:46] what's the easiest way to back up an entire hdd? [13:46] dd? [13:46] tekstacy: PartImage: http://sysresccd.org [13:47] * tekstacy thumps head against wall [13:47] tekstacy: dd will copy the entire partition, PartImage will only copy the used portion of the partition [13:47] I have that and forgot about it. Thanks [13:47] hehe [13:48] can someone point me to the set of commands to run to fix and recover a failed apt-get? [13:48] jetsaredim: what part failed.. [13:48] jetsaredim: isn't apt or dpkg verbose enough? [13:49] Hmm. the dist upgrade still tries to access the flomertens.keo.in server no matter what mirror I select for the packages. Anybody have a workaround for this? [13:49] well [13:50] I'm just getting normal updates through adept_updater [13:50] but for some reason during the install/configure step it keeps getting a failure [13:50] mb999 are you deciding to just go to edgy, or do you want feisty/gutsy [13:51] mb999: you have to re get the package lists after changing the mirror [13:51] want the latest. I believe it's 7.10? I'm following the destructions on the website, and have the 'full upgrade' button available. it keeps barfing though when it's downloading. [13:51] sorry, 'version upgrade' [13:52] ^- upgrade wizard thing, I believe. [13:52] mb999 i would recomend a clean install. even from just feisty to gutsy i have seen more systems break than upgrade correctly [13:52] ok. Was worth a try :) Thanks for the advice [13:52] mb999: you could always use the alternate CD to upgrade with [13:53] I think a clean install is in order. Now if I could just remember the crap I have installed?... [13:53] mb999 the biggest thing is to just copy /home. you can always get the latest versions of the programs you need [13:54] hi all [13:54] could someone please explain to me how to deactivate the Kubuntu startup logo [13:54] hey newbe [13:55] I want to see what Kubuntu is loading [13:55] newbe: you mean the usplash theme? [13:55] I don't like to just look at the startup sceen and don'T know what happen [13:55] I guess so [13:56] !usplash [13:56] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [13:56] minkä takia osioinnin yhteydessä 200Gb kovosta löytyy vain 125Gb tilaa? [13:57] what program gives 3d effects [13:57] jpatrick: yes it's the thing right after turning on the PC and after check the drives and stuff [13:57] !compiz | atlfalcons866 [13:57] atlfalcons866: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness.

Haven't tried it yet [14:00] is 933MHz enough for effects [14:00] tekstacy: Some people say it looks cool. I tried it and found it annoying [14:01] jpatrick: I think you get me wrong. I'm talking about the kubuntu startscreen. It's the thing that is shown wile kubuntu is starting and loading all the drivers and stuff [14:01] :) thought it might be. [14:01] I don't know how to describe it better [14:01] newbe: yeah, that's usplash [14:02] you turn on the computer then the HD and CDROM will be checked then you have a chance to decide which system you wanne start and then there is this bloody bootscree I wanne lose [14:03] gtg, bye all. Thanks for the help [14:03] bye === _Kernel is now known as Kernel [14:03] Remember, with MS Vista, failure is not an option [14:04] It comes pre-installed [14:05] jpatrick: how do I deactivate it [14:05] newbe: You can get rid of that boot splash screen easily. Remove the word "splash" from your kernel line and defoptions in /boot/grub/menu.lst [14:05] as ardchoille says :) [14:11] hello ? [14:11] how to add a node? [14:11] !hi | auser [14:11] auser: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [14:11] thanks~ [14:16] I have a problem getting my dual head setup working correctly. I have two screens, one of them should run at 1600x1200@75 and one at 1600x1200@85, while the 75hz one is on the left and the 85hz one is on the right, and the 85hz one should be the primary one. So the seconadry screen is on the left. I also want to run two independet X screens. [14:16] The nvidia drviers are installed correctly, but however I configure xorg.conf (with the kde tool, nvidia-settings or by editingit manually) I can't get it working that way. Whenever I log in the right/primary screen0 has a resolution of 1024x786 and both screens run at lower Hz then I want them to. [14:16] After the login I can go into nvidia-settings and manually change it to the correct values and that works, the monitors are capable of such resoultions and frequencies. This is my xorg.conf http://pastebin.ca/760852 Could someone please help me get this working, yesterday I've been trying to get this working for two hours.... [14:19] you need install nvidia driver first [14:19] auser: It's installed correctly [14:19] and use a command : dpkg-reconfigure [14:20] search at internet, this command needs a parameter like xerver-*** [14:20] like xserver-*** [14:20] then will generate a xorg.conf [14:20] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [14:21] auser: no I don't see why I woul need to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. 1. Have a look at my xorg.conf, it's configured very well, and 2. I use nvidia-settings to generate the xorg.conf [14:21] now is ok, edit the configure file, delete the 1600x1200 and so on [14:22] generate a new xorg.conf, it's old format [14:23] auser: why? ^^ I don't get it, I _want_ to have it 1600x1200. What do you mean it's old format, what's wrong with the xorg.conf? [14:26] how do I "scan" a network for windows shares? [14:27] want to use ? [14:27] sorry , never thought about it [14:28] may be your vedio card not support this [14:29] auser: ! It does ^^ Just after logging in I can change everything in nvidia-settings to the values I want, and everything is fine but if I log off and log in again evereything is back to the wrong settings [14:29] nvidia-settings does not work ? [14:31] auser: Yes it does ^^ Just as I said, I can configure the screen to the correct values just after the login and everything is fine, I can also write to xorg.conf but after log off and log on the lower resolutions and freqs are back. [14:33] i delete all of my configures but 1024x768 :) [14:33] so it works fine [14:33] and i don't want to change [14:35] shapeshifter: where are you from ? [14:38] auser: germany [14:39] lot's is germany :) [14:41] sound problems with kubuntu ? [14:41] anybody? [14:41] problemas de sonido en kubuntu [14:42] i thought the ubuntu book came with a pdf version on the cd ? === extremeracingtea is now known as elnano [14:45] hello everybody... === bmk789_ is now known as bmk789 === TimS|away is now known as TimS [14:54] where can i get emerald fusion themes? i tried the button in emerald and i tried apt-get install emerald-themes [14:56] nonewmsgs_, try compiz-themes.com, the emerald button didn't work for me either [14:56] thanks [14:56] 1 [14:56] wait [14:56] sorry, .org [14:56] not .com === MeTa is now known as MetaMorfozis [14:57] orgs are more fun anyway [14:57] hehe [15:00] now on that site they have k themes, beryl themes and compiz themes. will a beryl theme work with fusion [15:14] I have a problem getting my dual head setup working correctly. I have two screens, one of them should run at 1600x1200@75 and one at 1600x1200@85, while the 75hz one is on the left and the 85hz one is on the right, and the 85hz one should be the primary one.

[15:14] Alarm: yep. refreshing my problem. [15:15] Shapeshifter: since you seem to be having no luck with your issue in here, you might want to try and check ubuntuforums.org and kubuntuforums.net [15:15] Jucato: Yes I'm doing this right now, also checking #xorg and #nvidia. :| [15:15] Jucato, every installed a kde theme ? [15:16] not lately [15:16] Alarm: you can do it graphically if you install the kdmtheme package, then go to System Settings -> Appearance -> KDM Theme Manager === ubuntu is now known as gaspipe1 [15:16] except of the kth files that can easily be installed from the theme manager, how on earth to i install themes that are like gz files ? [15:16] hello all [15:16] Jucato, thats for theme files. how about themes that are being downloaded as gz files [15:17] Alarm: no. I said **KDM** Theme Manager. not KDE Theme Manager (which isn't in System Settings anyway) [15:17] er wait lol [15:17] roflmao sorry not reading red text well today [15:17] well kdm theme manager doenst open gz files :) [15:17] hehe [15:18] what kind of a theme is it? that's always the first question. [15:18] hi, i am using kubuntu and i have problems with the free radeon driver for my r300 (radeon 9700 pro). mostly google-earth is so slow and shows wrong 3d images [15:18] well one of them is a macos style one , and the second a vista one [15:18] when uncompressing it it includes folders like arrows, gtk and stuff like that [15:18] downloaded them from kde-look [15:19] Alarm: what specifically? is it a widget Style, window decoration? etc? [15:19] theme for kde, to change windows appearance [15:19] let me find one link [15:20] example: http://www.debian-art.org/content/show.php/MacOS-X+Aqua+Theme?content=13548 [15:20] or http://www.debian-art.org/content/show.php/LiNsta+3+%28Linux+is+Not+Vista%29?content=44570 [15:20] Alarm: er.. Type: GTK 2.x Theme/Style [15:20] that means it's a style for GTK, which GNOME uses.... [15:20] anyone check out ultimate ubuntu? [15:21] icewaterman: can you type this command in Konsole: glxinfo | grep render [15:21] okie, so i need kde ones [15:21] java has gone nuts...it keeps trying to force me to install it but that causes my adept to lock up... [15:21] Alarm: definitely... [15:21] Alarm: both are GTK themes. you won't be able to use those [15:21] question. installing it , would change just the appearance of my kde environment or also of all the applications [15:22] http://www.debian-art.org/content/show.php/Baghira?content=8692 isnt. i did find one baghira in my repo .but wasnt working that well , saw many issues with it [15:22] to have a qood question, what are the gtk themes exactly ? [15:22] themes just for gtk apps ? [15:22] does your baghira sscrew up the gtk-qt engine? [15:23] icewaterman: why not use fglrx? [15:23] icewaterman: ie binary [15:23] hi [15:24] i've some problems with console in my kubuntu 7.10 x64 [15:24] i can use my X server, everything works good [15:24] Alarm: GTK is the GUI library that GNOME uses for its user interface. so yes, GTK themes are for GTK apps, which would be GNOME apps too [15:24] but when i want to use console (ctrl+alt+f1) [15:24] syd: what problems i am running the 64bit and have no problems with my console [15:24] okie [15:24] i can see only black screen [15:25] and nothing more [15:25] syd: what gfx card u have? [15:25] hi guys ! i try to mount an external hdd an i can't do this because hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000 [15:25] tomg_: i have that same issue i just noticed that [15:25] i can return to X server [15:25] syd: i have that same issue when i do ctrl alt f1 [15:25] eagles0513875: i think ill try a new qt-gtk enigne version if i can find one [15:25] i've tried to change vga mode in grub list (vga=791), but it doesn [15:25] adept wont install anything... [15:25] ...work :p [15:26] tomg_: because fglrx are binary only drivers and i use a self-compiled kernel (too much to do to get the ati module working with that kernel) [15:26] and the binary driver also sucks [15:26] what can be wrong with it? [15:26] i dont use it that much to bother with it [15:26] please any solution? [15:26] icewaterman: did you run the command I gave? [15:26] Jucato: not yet : direct rendering: Yes [15:26] OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R300 20060815 AGP 8x TCL [15:27] ah that might be your problem... [15:27] ? [15:27] is mesa too old? [15:28] icewaterman: well the open source one is slower than fglrx, imho, but it is pretty buggy, becuase its reverse enigneered isnt it [15:28] Mesa is a software OpenGL renderer.. it will always be slower compared to 3D hardware acceleration (provided by the usually proprietary drivers) [15:28] Jucato: well but the command also said direct rendering was set to yes [15:28] something gone wrong, i'll repeat [15:29] [16:23] hi [15:29] * Jucato really knows very little about the ATI drivers... [15:29] [16:24] i've some problems with console in my kubuntu 7.10 x64 [15:29] [16:24] i can use my X server, everything works good [15:29] [16:24] but when i want to use console (ctrl+alt+f1) [15:29] and before i migrated to ubuntu it ran fine on debian etch [15:29] [16:24] i can see only black screen [15:29] [16:25] and nothing more [15:29] [16:25] i can return to X server [15:29] [16:25] i've tried to change vga mode in grub list (vga=791), but it doesn [15:29] [16:25] ...work :p [15:29] [16:26] what can be wrong with it? [15:29] icewaterman direct rendering is different to hardware acceleration [15:29] syd: will /etc/init.d/kdm restart help? [15:29] syd: try not to flood next time... [15:30] icewaterman: x works very vell [15:30] tomg_: it worked with the same kernel on debian (with hardware acceleration) [15:30] syd: you said you cannot return with ctrl+alt+f7 [15:30] i can return [15:31] syd: what is your problem then? [15:31] console doesn't work [15:31] it's only black screen [15:31] icewaterman: hmmm i guess ill not talk you into binary drivers, could try compiling them from git for latest features/bugfixes [15:31] syd: self-compiled kernel? [15:31] no [15:31] originaln with kubuntu 7.10 [15:31] syd: change to tty2 instead of tty1 [15:32] doesn't work [15:32] tomg_: binary drivers are not much more stable and binary after all (= more difficult to debug if at all) [15:32] syd: logout and have kdm return you to console [15:32] i had problems like that, but changin vga mode in kernel section helped [15:33] syd: i am not using any framebuffer driver and it works fine here [15:33] but i cant see anything before x starts [15:33] icewaterman i dont want to go into the binary v open source driver debate, i just use what works best, and would it be that much of a chore to compile fglrx from the ati webstie? [15:34] tomg_: it is if you want to get it running with a patched kernel [15:34] tomg_: my kernel is heavily patched and amd64 not i386 so i doubt ati binary will do any better [15:35] icewaterman wouldnt it be worth 20 mins try? [15:36] icewaterman i know its not ideal (i have intel :-) yaay) but sometimes its the only way for things to work right [15:37] icewaterman whats the worst that could happen :D [15:40] tomg_: well my system could crash and not awaken again :) [15:40] Hey there Guys n gals. Using Open Office Writer for first time. Would like to format the doc different so that it is a continuous page. Can that be done? [15:40] icewaterman lol you can always boot into failsafe, ull b fine :P [15:41] tomg_: actually i cannot :) [15:41] tomg_: i use a non-standard ubuntu :) [15:41] or lets say i have altered bootmanager etc. [15:41] there is no failsafe :) [15:41] but it reminds me i should add that [15:42] icewaterman well you could edit grub at the prompt lol [15:42] tomg_: afaik its a kernel option, right [15:43] then i can add that as a parameter [15:43] icewaterman to insert the fglrx module? [15:43] How do I rip in flac with k3 [15:43] tomg_: i didnt even download the ati installer - so no [15:44] icewaterman: sorry, i dont know what youre asking :S [15:44] tomg_: the ati installer once rendered another system of mine unbooteable (i've been trying to avoid that ever since ) and so far my system was quite stable [15:45] icewaterman: ah so thats why youre scared :) [15:45] tomg_: actually i hope to get that radeon driver regression bug fixed) [15:45] icewaterman lol fair enough [15:46] tomg_: i did a little forensics that time and found out that the ati driver had killed my swap partition when i entered suspend-to-disk/ram [15:46] icewaterman: ati as in binary or oss? [15:46] binary [15:46] icewaterman: what version? [15:46] tomg_: don't remeber [15:47] was ~1 year ago [15:47] in ubuntu on my laptop [15:47] icewaterman: it will have improved by now then :D [15:47] hi === ubuntu is now known as n00b [15:48] tomg_: the only binary driver i'd install is the nvidia gfx driver (that one was at least working well) [15:48] hi [15:48] but not with ati cards unfortunately [15:48] hmm, frets on fire doesn't work right, at all, even with the tutorial, anybody else having trouble with it? [15:49] i got a question how do i reinstall grub ? [15:49] got daul boot here [15:49] n00b: depends how you removed it, but in general [15:49] !grub [15:49] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [15:49] icewaterman: well the ati has improved since amd's takeover, ive heard [15:52] hello ,i have a big trouble [15:53] when i closed all windows and open language installer,"database locked - adept batch" why?? [15:54] !aptfix | b_ [15:54] tomg_: btw. tuxracer works fine @60fps+ (1024x768) [15:54] who knows why , thanks first [15:54] hm... [15:54] bot seems to be slow...

[16:26] b_, but i mostly just use english, and have hardly ever messed with language setup :\ [16:28] soorry.my fault.thx all the same [16:28] Hi. I have an install of Kubuntu 7.4 (Feisty) that I'd like to upgrade to 7.10 (gusty). I see instructions here: [16:28] http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading [16:29] Need help! How do I change the default search engine in 7.10? For example, if i mistype a URL, it currently redirects to RCN's page... I'd like Google to be default [16:29] 可以用中文了 [16:29] exit [16:29] But if I want to do this remotely via ssh, can I just follow the instructions on that page for server? [16:30] This occurs both in firefox and in konqueror [16:30] What's RCN? [16:31] An ISP [16:31] ignoramus, So presumably this is your ISP's DNS doing this, not kubuntu. [16:32] unperson: is there a way i can change this? Their search page sucks, and Google usually redirects to the proper page, while RCN gives unrelated results [16:32] ignoramus, Sorry, I don't know how you tell kubuntu to make mistyped URLs do a search, but if you ISP DNS returns stuff, I'd think that there's no way for the browser to know it's a mistyped URL, you know? [16:33] ignoramus, Assuming I'm interpreting what's going on correctly (and I may not be, as I don't know a lot about it)... [16:33] unperson: i understand, i was hoping there was a script i could run or a force-command that would supercede or executive before the DNS redirect [16:33] ignoramus, I'm not sure there's much you can do unless you can change your DNS settings to use a different DNS server not controlled by your ISP. [16:34] ignoramus, Maybe. I'm not sure how the redirection works. Does it send you to some generic page with a timed redirect, or does it return a page directly as though it's the one you requested. [16:34] ? [16:34] unperson: I remember in Windows, if i typed a URL incorrectly (ie, youutbe.com), it would redirect to MSN Search... but since i've installed Kubuntu, it goes to RCN. Of course, my ISP could have changed settings... [16:35] ignoramus, Yeah, I don't know. Hopefully there's someone here more knowledgable than me. [16:35] :-) [16:35] ignoramus, You could also try the kde channel for help, since presumably the question would apply equally well to any KDE. [16:35] ignoramus, Or you could try ##linux. [16:36] My ISP (Speakeasy) doesn't pull these shenanigans, so I just don't have any experience. [16:36] unperson: Also, when Google was my default search, i used to be able to type "youtube" by itself in the address bar, and google would interpret properly. Now, i get this helpful bit: http://www17.searchresults.rcn.com/search?qo=youtube&rn=G4KJScDjlshEM8X [16:37] ignoramus, I see. Well, maybe I'm all wet on the issue. I'd look for other advice. :-\ [16:38] unperson: thx anyway :) [16:40] hi how do i unrar many files with one command? [16:41] someth=ing like for $i=ls [16:41] antonsky: are they all in one directory? [16:41] for i in *; do unrar $i; done [16:41] ignoramus, I will say that that last situation is probably different, in that the browser can recognize something is not a well-formed URL at all. [16:41] yes [16:41] hi, how can i stop compiz on my Kubuntu? Something as compiz --quit ... :) [16:41] thx [16:41] fairman: if all esle fails, kill the process in KSysGuard :) [16:42] what does "for i in *" do? [16:42] fairman: hit alt +f2 then type kwin --replace [16:43] antonsky: iterates through everything in * [16:43] unperson: in that last example, I would notice that my browser would contact Google, and then redirect me to the page i wanted. Now, it connects immediately to RCN [16:43] bazhang: thanks, it works :) [16:43] like "for i in `ls -l`" [16:43] that would iterate through every file in a directory [16:43] (although there are nicer ways of doing it) [16:44] fairman: to get compiz back just repeat, except alt +f2 compiz --replace [16:44] Viđi vraga su sedam binjišah, [16:44] su dva mača a su dvije krune, [16:44] praunuka Turkova s Koranom!

[16:50] ook [16:50] gracias [16:50] no problem [16:51] Firefox is giving me problems - for instance unrecoverably freezing my system, requiring a hard reboot. Is there a way to fix this? [16:51] anybody knows an application to encode AVI videos (from de digital camera for example) to DIVX or XVID? [16:51] dabis: avidemux [16:52] Or mencoder [16:52] it does not import the audio track and it is not encoded. I think that it is on WAV [16:52] nzk: using Gutsy? [16:53] bazhang: Yes, it was the cause of my problems. The whole Firefox-randomly-and-unrecoverably-crashing-and-freezing thing happened immediately after I upgraded. [16:53] thanks for all! Bye [16:54] nzk: I had the same issue initially as well--I disabled javascript for a while, then when some more upgrades came along--firefox I believe, it went away--don't know why though [16:55] how do i fix adept? i wont let me install anything unless i install java which glitches [16:55] bazhang: Let me try that. [16:56] nzk: what triggered it for me was autosave in wordpress (blog) --finally can use it now--javascript really is essential, moreso than flash even === dresken__ is now known as Dresken [16:57] Wolven_Pariah_UK: what's the problem? [16:57] bazhang: It seems to be for me... [16:58] i tried to install sun-java but it glitched...after unlocking adept it wont let me install anything (.debs work) unless i finish installing sun-java but that glitches at 23% [16:58] nzk: let me know how it goes. [16:59] Wolven_Pariah_UK: kill it and then do sudo apt-get -f install [16:59] it tries to install it... [17:00] if i say yes it opens window with documentation with OK in the middle but no way to say OK [17:00] Wolven_Pariah_UK: ever heard of the tab key? [17:00] Wolven_Pariah_UK: you have to tab to the ok, then hit return [17:01] ill try that.. === _czessi is now known as Czessi [17:02] hmmm its not doing the menu anymore...

I just replaced compiz with kwin, but since I have, my system has been so laggy that I can literally see it drawing the screen and refreshing it. HELP! [17:12] wow very active room lol [17:13] Quick question: what are the default entries for uid 110, 113, and 118 in /etc/? [17:14] (I imagine 118 is smmsp, but am not sure; trying to repair said files after a mishap) [17:15] Alyxander: what's your question? [17:15] does anyone know how you stop compiz shading your windows when you double-click the title bar? [17:16] i want it to maximize/restore them instead [17:16] webvictim : go through the compiz settings manager [17:16] webvictim: hmm, check the compiz configure thingie, or ask in #compiz-fusion [17:16] webvictim, use the ccsm tool. I think its under the general tab [17:16] i know how to change the global KDE behaviour, but it doesn't seem to make any difference [17:16] heh, i've had a good look through [17:16] can't seem to find the option [17:16] webvictim: the COMPIZ configuration [17:16] webvictim: 1sec.. [17:17] webvictim: that should be under the plugin window decorations or in general forgot which [17:17] webvictim: the command to start it is 'ccsm' [17:17] angasule: yes thanks, i know that [17:17] ah, i found it [17:17] it's in the emerald-theme-manager [17:17] :) [17:18] :} [17:18] Anyone? [17:19] Tamin: what's your question? [17:19] What are the default entries for uids 110. 113, and 118 in /etc/ [17:19] I see no entry for 118 in that file [17:19] hmm [17:20] avahi:x:106:113:Avahi mDNS daemon,,,:/var/run/avahi-daemon:/bin/false [17:20] mythtv:x:110:120::/home/mythtv:/bin/sh [17:20] are you on 6.06? [17:20] Heck No. [17:20] hmm [17:20] :) [17:21] great; thanks anyway :) [17:22] Howdy all ... friend sent me a .mkv video file , but I have no way of converting it to mpeg/dvd ... someone have an idea which converter/codec I should use? [17:23] Where are any kdm / kde scripts located that run upon user login? [17:23] what is the fsck command for a fat32 partition? [17:24] Shapeshifter: ~/.kde/Autostart [17:24] how do I copy the menus, settings, apps, etc.. to other user accounts? [17:24] shadowhywind: fsck [17:24] shadowhywind: fsck.vfat might also be it, if straight fsck doesn't work [17:24] And which of them affect screen resolutions. It doesn't matter what I put into my xorg.conf, I have _no mentioning whatsoever_ in my xorg.conf of "1024x786" and it still starts the session with that resolution. I only have "1600x1200" and it should start like that -.- ... Thx angasule [17:24] BluesKaj, i think that avidmux program can convert them [17:24] any special flags to correct issues? === samuk1 is now known as Euuuuuuuu [17:25] shadowhywind: no idea, I don't use fat any more [17:25] BluesKaj: does vlc not work? [17:25] Shapeshifter: oh, that's another issue [17:25] Shapeshifter: do you have an nvidia card? ati? or what is it? [17:26] hehe, once the my new wireless card comes, I wont be needing the fat partition anymore either [17:26] bazhang, it plays the mkv files yes, but I want to convert the file to mpeg for stand alone dvd playback [17:27] angasule: you know something about it? I don't get it, I'm so frustrated, been trying to make this happen for hours! nvidia, driver is installed correcty, everything ok, I can configure the two screens I have, but even if I use only one single screen, if I log off and back in the goddamn low resolution is back. I checked xorg.conf, I edited it so far that it can _only_ be 1600x1200 and nothing else and still it doesn't work :| [17:27] Shapeshifter, it may be gettting the "EID" info from the monitor and getting it wrongly. I think theres some xorg.conf option to ignore that EID stuff. [17:27] Shapeshifter: run: kdesu nvidia-settings [17:27] I mean if I'm logged in and use nvidia-settings, I can set up everything the way I want. I save the settings, write xorg.conf, log off and in, and there's the low resolution back on my primary screen [17:28] When i run fsck, It comes back with an issue to correct or not correct. I select correct and it says its leaving the system unchanged, any ideas? [17:28] BluesKaj: sorry--my misunderstanding perhaps avidemux, as Dr_willis suggested [17:28] Shapeshifter: but yeah, I have had issues like that, nvidia cards use proprietary drivers that don't play well with others [17:29] Dr_willis: sounds plausible, I'll have a look at that. [17:29] Shapeshifter: I'd try kdesu nvidia-settings so that nvidia-settings is run as root, it might help, worth a try :) [17:29] anyone have and ati? [17:29] angasule: yes, I'm always running nvidia-settings as root. === asanchez_ is now known as alejandro [17:29] nope, bazhang Dr_willis ,I don't see any mkv options in avidemux [17:29] to save nvidia-settings xorg, it has to be root [17:29] can anybody share the default fonts.conf? [17:29] hola [17:29] BluesKaj, ive done it under windows befor i belive. :) with the windows version. aint tried the Gutsy version yet [17:29] alguien me puede ayudar [17:30] estoy intentando que me funcione kradio [17:30] * Dr_willis looks for a mkv video [17:30] BluesKaj: perhaps Handbrake? [17:30] http://handbrake.m0k.org/ [17:31] * BluesKaj tries avidmux anyway ...taking a while to load [17:31] err avidemux [17:31] uh, what's the difference between kdesu and sudo btw? ^^ [17:32] hola alguien me puede decir cual es el canal en español [17:32] !kdesu [17:32] In KDE, use « kdesudo » (Gutsy) or « kdesu » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to.

[17:34] avidemux loads a .mkv here. :) [17:34] shadowhywind: kdesu in gutsy links to kdesudo, using kdesu the same way as usual should work just fine. that's the idea anyway. [17:35] something's happening with avidemux, it's taking up 100% cpu but I don't see waht's going on [17:36] avidemux can take some practice to get working right. [17:37] I normally use it to convert avi's to smaller xvid format for my portable player [17:38] Dr_willis: I was able to turn off edid checking in xorg.conf but it still keeps changing the resolution upon login. Btw while in the kdm login it displays the correct resolution, just upon loging in it switches to the lower res. [17:38] Shapeshifter, err.. You DO realize that each user can have their own specific Video res setting? [17:38] hi I needed some help with grub2 I don't want to reboot in case I get stuck [17:38] :) [17:38] my wife has her desktop set to a lower res. then what i use. [17:38] KDM is the same.. but as soon as she logs in it goes to a lower res. [17:39] Dr_willis: Yeah, ok, but where is that resolution defined? If not in xorg.conf, then where? [17:39] Its in the users settings somewhere. [17:39] I havent messed with that in a long time. :) lets see [17:39] when I installed grub-pc i got errors with grub-probe error: unknown filesystem [17:39] Perhrials -> monitors [17:41] hi, meine Taskbar zeigt keine offenen Programme mehr an. Weiss jemand woran das liegt? [17:42] Dr_willis: uhm, I have this "System settings" thing, there is Computer Administration > Monitor & Display > The thing is that I can't configure the screen resolution there because it thinks it can only display 1600x1200 at 50Hz, which is wrong. I configured the right hardware like a dozen times already but it keeps forgetting it, I guess because of some clinch with nvidia-settings [17:42] !de | superior [17:42] superior: Deutschsprachige Hilfe fuer Probleme mit Ubuntu, Kubuntu und Edubuntu finden Sie in den Kanaelen #ubuntu-de, #kubuntu-de, #xubuntu-de und #edubuntu-de [17:42] ah thx [17:42] hey shapeshifter are you using a desktop or laptop and what videocard/ [17:42] ?

[18:03] Dr_willis: I'm not following, what could I do with the nv driver? I mean the problem is that the kde configuration utility doesn't support using two X screns, instead it automatically enables xinerama when choosing "dual head". On the other hand the nvidia-settings tool wont set the kde settings for the user. How can the nv driver help? [18:03] i have a drive...that ive partitioned... [18:03] Can somebody help me?

It's not even there. [18:07] Dry_Ice, the easy way is to leave a section of the hd 'unallocated' and let the installer install to that. let it make the partition [18:07] webvictim: i have a partition...and it wont let me use it [18:07] Dry_Ice: what's the rror?

[18:08] dr_Willis_: the installer did make the partition [18:08] :-( [18:08] Dry_Ice, then it should of set the mount points also [18:08] webvictim: there're multiple errors :P [18:08] ardchoille: I converted 4 Windows users. 2 XP and 2 Vista === TimS is now known as TimSaway [18:08] <[mag]> Speccifically, are video and audio codecs optimised for it yet?

[18:09] i don't have any data on it atm [18:09] '/' IS the mountpoint :) and what its called. [18:09] ok... [18:09] draik: Awesome :) [18:09] it doesn't work :P === gsr_ is now known as gsr [18:09] Dr_willis: yeah, a guide would be nice [18:09] how big is the partition? [18:09] normally i just use ' Use all unallocated space' [18:09] 120000 mb... [18:10] do you have any reason to want more than one partition? [18:10] yep [18:10] so a sample layout would be (befor installing) (Windows a few gb) (Unallocated The rest of the HD) [18:10] hint: if you don't know what a mount point is, the answer is probably no... :P [18:10] its my backup drive...

[18:15] bazhang: yes [18:15] Dr_willis_ : It took some searching. If you just follow the directory (the web site you gave me is the HTTP interface to a FTP server) to the "releases", it only gets to the DVD release. You have to go to the "simple" subdirectory, and it's under "desktop". It didn't say "CD", but I guess if it's not a DVD then it's a CD.

[18:16] twager: there's a conflict between the two, was over at #konversation and they sent me to #compiz-fusion [18:16] Do you want to return to the partitioning menu? You have not selected any partitions for use as swap space. Enabling swap space is recommended so that the system can make better use of the available physical memory, and so that it behaves better when physical memory is scarce. You may experience installation problems if you do not have enough physical memory. If you do not go back to the partitioning menu and assign a swap partition, [18:16] the installation will continue without swap space. [18:16] ok/cancel? [18:16] Dry_Ice: right, ok. [18:16] you need to make two partitions [18:16] bazhang: Thanks.. [18:16] yep... [18:16] kwtm, or you could look at the filesize. :) [18:16] ATi drivers can remove XGL session and desktop effects?? [18:16] one needs to be double the size of your RAM, as a rough guide [18:16] twager: no problem :} [18:17] bazhang: The web site you mentioned looks like a 3rd party web site to point to the Kubuntu torrents, but I wonder if there's a possibility of trojans? Anyway, I got the torrent file. Thanks. [18:17] ok... [18:17] which is your swap partition [18:17] and what format should that partition be? [18:17] that should be "swap" [18:17] kwtm: no worries there--use it all the time [18:17] ok... [18:17] ATi drivers can remove XGL session and desktop effects?? [18:17] kwtm, you refering to http://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/ ? every file is a single click to get the .torrent there for me. :) [18:17] and then the other partiton can use the rest of your drive [18:17] the format of that should probably be "ext3" [18:17] Dr_willis_: technically, yes, but remember, I'm looking for a torrent. Those are, like, 2k in size. :) Fortunately, right next to "kubuntu-desktop-torrent (27k)" was "kubuntu-desktop (698M)", so I knew that was the right thing.

I am completely sure that it is a KDE specific issue, because kde seems to have no support at all for running multiple X screens.

[18:26] Shapeshifter, ive had 'similer' issues when using vnc, and having the same user logged in twice running kde 2 times. [18:27] KDE got a little confused at times. gnome did also. [18:27] ok i installed a bunch of xine plugins and it's working now [18:27] Shapeshifter, an interesting test would be to try it with 2 differnt users. [18:28] Shapeshifter, what are you running that needs 2 seperate X displays anyway? [18:29] Dr_willis: This is really tring ^^ At least I got it this fat, having 2 times 1600x1200 with wrong freqs. I guess it wouldn't matter if I used two different users because KDE alsways enables xinerama no matter what I'm doing in the kde config. But I'll try.

It's working :D that was some complicated stuff.... [19:02] vincent_: it's not in the software repositories [19:02] vincent_: There is an ubuntu .deb floating around. I installed it but the kickoff ui seemed to have bugs.. it looked like a webpage with the CSS badly written [19:03] vincent_: ?Have you tried kbfx? It's in the repos [19:03] thats sad i'm from suse. like the menu a lot... [19:04] bazhang: Yes, only beryl [19:04] vincent_: iirc, kickoff will be in kde4 [19:04] draik: any reason?

[19:12] ok [19:12] And besides, this surfaced a new problem: If I start e.g. Amarok on the secondary screen it will put a tiny tray icon on the upper left corner as a single window. How can I put another tray area on the panel I've placed on the secondary screen?

[19:21] then use gksudo instead [19:22] ardchoile i want to give rw permission to all users [19:22] has anyone managed to install wine 0.9.47 or .48? I'm only showing version 0.9.46 [19:22] nonewmsgs_: chmod a+rw [19:22] nonewmsgs_: is this a system file/folder? [19:22] nonewmsgs_: You can do that with konqueror (right click, properties, permissions tab) [19:23] Anyone else having FF 2.0.0.8 lock up on 7.10? [19:23] MetaMorfoziS: gutsy repos are frozen at .46 [19:23] it wouldnt let me in dolphin, but thanks that is good to know :D the chmod thing worked like a dream too thanks ardchoile [19:24] nonewmsgs_: yw === Chase_ is now known as Chase [19:24] nonewmsgs_: Yeah, dolphin is SO much easier >) [19:24] lol [19:25] * Dr_willis_ stuffs dolphin in a tuna can.

Is that nvidia-glx-new or just nvidia-glx? [19:26] nonewmsgs_: You should stick with the one which works best for you [19:26] Dolphin? [19:26] I much prefer dolphin :} [19:26] nonewmsgs: I prefer konqueror [19:26] What should I do if the system tray applet in the panel doesn't accept any tray icons? The applet is started but if I e.g. open amarok the amarok tray icon will appear in a little windows in the top left corner of the screen. how can I get the tray icons to show up in the tray? [19:26] i will use both :D [19:27] I always set Konqueror as my default file manager. :) [19:27] !dolphin [19:27] Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [19:27] draik: which have you tried? [19:27] Hello how can i use su in kubuntu i thought i knew the password but it don't work [19:27] Dr_willis_: Same here, plus, I removed that d3lph program [19:27] bazhang: With Feisty, I had -new [19:28] !sudo | psycholic [19:28] psycholic: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [19:28] psycholic: try sudo -i [19:28] psycholic: You used kdesu? [19:28] ok thanks [19:28] that su/root issue is here a lot. does that mean that people are migrating from other distros or are reading other distros docs? [19:28] !info sux [19:28] sux: wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials. In component universe, is optional.

They cant handle the 'security above all else' mentality that Kubuntu has. :) [19:29] draik: have you tried new in gutsy? [19:29] I have -new in Gutsy [19:29] Dr_willis_: wow, nice name for that wrapper, lol [19:29] draik: did you see the wiki for your card? [19:29] Which wiki? [19:30] I've gone through so many [19:30] !nvidia [19:30] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [19:32] this is the 7500 nvidia card? [19:33] 5700 I believe [19:33] that # card - just seems to have ... issues.. :) [19:34] Is there a way to get tabs in Dolphin? [19:34] nVidia GeForce FX 5700LE [19:34] * timri looks around innocently at the mention of THAT app [19:35] http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/100.14.11/README/appendix-a.html says that card is supported with the nvidia-glx driver [19:35] mm_202, thats too complex.. so its been removed. :) [19:35] along with all the other to-hard-to-use-features. :) [19:35] mm_202: if you look at configure dolphin, then you can choose to customize thte toolbar [19:36] err the [19:36] What should I do if the system tray applet in the panel doesn't accept any tray icons? The applet is started but if I e.g. open amarok the amarok tray icon will appear in a little windows in the top left corner of the screen. how can I get the tray icons to show up in the tray? [19:36] Then again.. ive had so many other issues with Dolphin. I havent explored it much [19:36] bazhang: danke [19:36] Dr_willis_: Ouch, bad pun [19:36] Shapeshifter, ive noticed that issue at times with compiz. [19:36] I like dolphin so far. [19:36] Shapeshifter: Screenshot? [19:37] hey do you know how to set it so that if I touch the touchpad it doesn't click? [19:37] wow--I like dolphin. :/ [19:37] nonewmsgs: i have 2 rigs one is my wifes this is mine i have thought about making my rig a ubuntu rig but my wifes rig is the test ground... [19:37] hdevalence: MaxTapTime in xorg.conf [19:37] timri: I can get you a screenshot, wait a minute... [19:37] mm_202: but it doesn't seem to do much..sorry :{ [19:38] yeah, that sucks [19:38] any way do i need to log out after i add my user to sudo [19:38] why the hell did they remove the tabs?? [19:38] or should it just pick up the change [19:38] mm_202: I think Dr W gave a sufficiently eloquent explanation [19:38] haha [19:39] psycholic: I think you have to log out first, not sure though [19:39] lol, /me was hoping he was joking :S [19:39] i'll give it a go all i got is time.... [19:39] mm_202, :) [19:39] Make things user friendly by removing features. :) [19:39] The new 'paradime' [19:39] lol [19:39] timri: how do I use it? I can't find MaxTapTIme in man xorg.conf [19:40] hdvalence: One moment please [19:40] timri: ok [19:40] bazhang: Yes, I've been through those wikis numerous times. What do you think? [19:41] hey there, im setting my new kontact mailbox, do i still need to get gotmail to check hotmail? [19:41] I've got an external drive at /media/store which I can't write to (unless I sudo). How can I fix this? I want to use it for backup... [19:41] hdevalence: In the InputDevice section corresponding to your touchpad, add the line: [19:41] hdevalence: Option "MaxTapTime" "0" [19:41] draik: Dr_willis_ says it is the glx one, I'd trust him over anything I might say :} [19:41] timri: Look, http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/7743/snapshot3mw8.png8 I can move around and scale the tray icon on the screen, but the tray area (which i right clicked on here) stays empty [19:42] hdevalence: Then restart X [19:42] Shapeshifter: Correct url: http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/7743/snapshot3mw8.png [19:42] bazhang: glx it is... [19:42] Huh? what? huh? :) [19:42] draik: good luck [19:43] Yea. that was on the nvidia supported cards link. [19:43] timri: yes [19:43] Shapeshifter: HOLY COW! never seen that one before [19:43] Why do I always get this message... [19:43] debconf: unable to initialize frontend: Kde [19:43] debconf: (Unable to load Qt -- is libqt-perl installed?) [19:43] debconf: falling back to frontend: Dialog [19:43] Ok, done. [19:43] Ive seen that meddage befor.. [19:43] Restart X? [19:44] Also, should I use Generic or 386 for the kernel? [19:44] draik: did you install libqt-perl? [19:44] the apt package tools can support different 'methods' for getting input from the user during install. [19:44] timri: out of Configured Mouse and Synaptics Touchpad, the touchpad is the right one, right? [19:44] dialog - is the classic console based one I belive. [19:44] timri: well.... it "might" just have something to do with me using two X screens ^^ On screen0 the tray works correctly. All I want is a second tray on screen1. [19:44] bazhang: Just did [19:44] all i want to do is flush my iptables [19:44] htop is so nice. thanks all. [19:44] hdevalence: Yes. I can paste that section if you want. [19:44] timri: I'm ignoring all the ones that say tablet PC only [19:44] There used to be some dpkg-reconfigure option that could set the differnt ways/modes it used. [19:45] apologies for reasking - can anywone tell me how to make /media/store writeable for a normal user? [19:45] timri: Thanks for the help [19:45] miso_, what sort of HD is on /media/store? [19:45] Shapeshifter: Ah! [19:45] usb [19:45] miso_, and its filesystem is? [19:45] hdevalence: Of course, the section for the touchpad ONLY! [19:45] fat [19:45] Dr_willis_ bazhang: Logout, restart X, Login? [19:45] timri: so the tray applet on screen1 is broken. [19:45] hdevalence: You're welcome [19:46] fwiw I'm runnin gutsy [19:46] miso_, Hmm.. it 'should' mount that thing where all users can access it. [19:46] miso_, is it read only? or cant even read it? [19:46] Dr W - it mounts fine, I just can't write a file (or directory) to it. I can read from it. If sudo, can do anything... [19:47] timri, Dr_willis_: and in fact it works when Compiz-Fusion is disabled... [19:47] Shapeshifter: The strange thing is, there should be only one ! (no pun intended) [19:47] Shapeshifter, now ya know why compiz was not included by default. :) [19:47] haha [19:47] miso_, Hmm.. Not sure of what/where to fix it. other then to manually mount the thing. [19:47] Shapeshifter: Your kicker spans the two screens? Perhaps that helps [19:48] bazhang: Nope. Screensaver still doesn't work. [19:48] where i can install compiz-fusion on kubuntu 7.10? [19:48] !compiz [19:48] 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 [19:48] !compiz [19:48] Shapeshifter: As in: http://osdir.com/ml/kde.devel.konversation/2006-07/msg00011.html [19:49] n1lo: you need to install some packages--are you ok with the command line? [19:49] timri: as I have two independent X screens I can't even span one kicker over both screens, I'm using two independent kickers. It's actually quite fun to see how kde is shaking things up because somethings are unrelated between the two screens, other things are connected and will be treated as one session. ;) [19:49] Shapeshifter: Yeah, in that case dcop must have a field day :) [19:50] At one time i had kde going twice - once in vnc, once in the desktop.. if i logged out of ONE.. then BOTH would logout [19:50] bazhang: ah ok, tks. . . i know the commands to install! =] [19:50] Shapeshifter: Perhaps this is one for #kde [19:51] timri: If I 1. close compiz, 2. start amarok, 3. start compiz the tray icon is in the taskbar, and then 4. close amarok, 5. open amarok I get the floating tray icon again. Well. Mh. It could as well be for #compiz-fusion. I'll ask over there ;) [19:51] bazhang: Ok. Let's start fresh. I want to get Compiz-Fusion working. All I care about having is a rotating cube and the ability to place my mouse in the upper right corner and seeing all of the open applications from the 4 sides of my cube. [19:51] Shapeshifter: Good luck. [19:51] bazhang: I was think: "Were is the botton to press to install compiz-fusion?" [19:52] Im amazed at the effort people go through for compiz eye candy. [19:52] :) [19:52] bazhang: Its not implemented. [19:52] n1lo: ok then you need to sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-kde emerald [19:53] hi gang [19:53] draik: I think it might be an issue with your card--is it a laptop, or a desktop [19:53] how do i turn off iptables? [19:53] bazhang: Desktop [19:53] Dr_willis_: I think it get a lot of memory. =( [19:53] does kubuntu come with iptables enabled ? [19:54] froggles, it comes with no rules by default [19:54] oh [19:54] froggles, so if its ON with no rules - is that off? :) [19:54] !firewall [19:54] 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). [19:54] guarddog is nice [19:56] draik: you now have the proper drivers installed for your card--correct? [19:56] bazhang: I have nvidia-glx installed, no longer -new. [19:56] and you have all the packages I just listed for n1lo as well, right? [19:58] how do i turn off iptables ? [19:58] hi there, I typed cat /proc/asound/cards and i want to check the device to another card, how do i do that? [19:59] froggles, if theres no 'rules' set with iptables - then it basicially is off [19:59] draik: you have those installed as well? [19:59] sudo iptables --list [20:04] hey, ever since I upgraded to gutsy my nvidia drivers get removed every reboot. I suspect this has something to do wit hthe new Restricted Drivers thing, but I have no idea how to fix it? [20:04] Reinstall them with the 'restricted-manager' tool perhaps? [20:05] You dident use AUtomatix or Envy have you? [20:05] first of all, how can i see all the refresh rates that my monitor supports on each resolution ? [20:05] Dr_willis_: I've installed them from the nvidia sh installer. How do I resintall them with the restricted driver tool? [20:06] !info restricted-manager [20:06] restricted-manager: manage non-free hardware drivers - GNOME frontend. In component restricted, is optional. Version 0.33.1 (gutsy), package size 38 kB, installed size 316 kB [20:06] hiho! [20:06] !info [20:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about info - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:06] Dr_willis_: I know what it is, and how to get to it, but that doesn't help me reinstall drivers with it [20:06] Install the package, run the tool. :) click the nvidia box. BUT if you ahve allready used the nvidia isntaller.. you might be confusing things. [20:06] How can I add apps to be started upon login? for gnome there's this session manager but the session manager in kde has no such options. Where can I add these apps? [20:06] Dr_willis_: As I said, nvidia drivers are already installed, so the box is checked [20:07] not sure of the proper way to use the nvidia install scripts [20:07] it may be the module just isent getting loaded at startup. [20:07] Dr_willis_: it was before upgrading to gutsy... but is there any way to check? [20:07] when it dosent work. use 'lsmod' and see whats loaded. [20:08] then perhaps manually load the 'nvidia' module with 'sudo modprobe nvidia' and try startx [20:09] okay, well brb === ubuntu_ is now known as winterelf [20:12] Im trying to get IM contact with someone using Kopete and IRC - would someone here care to help me check it out for me .... [20:13] well, you're on IRC... [20:13] so you're probably most of the way there :P [20:13] yup - I just need to connect to someone using Kopete - can I try you? [20:14] i don't understand [20:14] you want to send me a private message? [20:14] Actually I dont really know Kopete at all .... [20:14] heh [20:14] bazhang: Sorry, got a visit from a cousin I never knew I had. [20:14] bazhang: Yes, I have those installed [20:14] well, IRC isn't like a conventional IM service [20:14] I recon, I can use it to connect 1-to-1 via IRC [20:15] IRC needs a server [20:15] and for two people, it's a bit pointless [20:15] Can I specify on which screen an Autostart command should be run? I have two independent X screens and I would need that command to run on screen1 and not screen0 [20:15] Its just I dont want the bother of setting up MSN or Jabber accounts [20:15] hm, i see what you mean [20:16] you can certainly use IRC if you can teach them how to get here :) [20:16] you could make your own channel [20:16] or just private message (query) each other [20:16] Would I need to use Konversation for the actual chatting or can that be done from within Kopete? [20:17] Shapeshifter, you could do it by making a script that exports the proper SCREEN variable, then runs the command. [20:17] i'm not sure what kopete's IRC support is like [20:17] but i believe i've seen quit messages with it in, so i'd presume it's possible :) [20:17] oops it would be the 'display [20:17] Dr_willis_: that's what I'm trying to do, I thought it was DISPLAY=0:1 or something like that but I can hardly google for that information [20:17] oops it would be the 'display' variable. not the screen variable, :) my mistake [20:18] hmm [20:18] bazhang: I have it all installed. Sadly enough, I do not have OpenGL working for my screensaver. [20:18] 'DISPLAY=0:1 command' should do it. [20:18] IF you have the proper X permissions [20:18] I've added you as webvictim@Freenode and it tells med youre not available / cant be reached [20:18] xhost +localhost may be needed to get ran some how befor you do this. [20:18] i don't think it works like that :( [20:19] apparently not :-( [20:19] not to worry ... I'll just tell him to reach me here ... [20:19] thanks though [20:19] i got a 19" monitor. how can i set a higher refresh rate for the 1152x864 (the maximum i see is 85) resolution , or through xorg or through the nvidia tool [20:19] IRC is radically diffrent from Yahoo and so forth. :) [20:19] Dr_willis_: If I do DISPLAY=0:1 command then I get an error "..... yadda... "cannot open display"" [20:19] this is a bit weird :P [20:19] but i guess it does work on some level === francesco_ is now known as leprod6 [20:20] Shapeshifter, thats the X security stuff precventing what could be bad activity [20:20] 'xhost + localhost' on both desktops MAY let it work [20:21] Dr_willis_: Well, it doesn't ;) [20:22] is there anyone who is a premium member of rapidshare.com and can easily handle with downloading files as in flashget [20:23] Dr_willis_: The problem is that emerald doesn't start automatically on screen1 when logging in. CF does, but emerald only starts on screen0. So I wanted to put a script to ~/.kde/Autostart to make it work. The script looks like this: sleep 10 && DISPLAY=0:1 emerald --replace [20:24] Ok got sudo to work [20:24] flushed my iptables [20:24] and i can't get on the web still [20:25] any one got any ideas was there a update with 7.10 that might have done this [20:25] bazhang: What's your next step? [20:25] psycholic: how doesn't it work? [20:25] (as in, what can't you do) [20:25] welll i have a router [20:26] i check that its connected [20:26] i have ktorrent running [20:26] Shapeshifter, could be emerald has some issues.. Try it for some other apps and see if it works for them. [20:26] it won't connect and no web brosers work [20:27] you're on the same computer now though, talking on IRC? [20:27] Dr_willis_: DISPLAY=0:1 kate won't work eighter. [20:27] no this is my other linux rig [20:27] i have a network [20:27] sure [20:27] does the other computer get an IP address [20:27] umm ok [20:27] yes [20:27] and can you ping the computer you're on now? [20:28] hi! ie got some problems with the ATI Driver i got from ati.com... i installed them like in the instructions and the 3D Part still doesn work. can anyone help me please? [20:28] Shapeshifter, on each desktop. open up a terminal and use the 'xhost + localhost' command [20:28] hmmm i never did that before what do i need to type in term to ping my other box i do know the ip [20:28] ping [20:28] :P [20:28] lol [20:28] hey, so i disabled mouseclicking on the touchpad and now the scroller thing doesn't work. Is that a consequence of disablin gthe tapping? [20:28] ok i'll try that === |Aresilek| is now known as Aresilek [20:29] Hi, after installing compiz, katapult ceased to work. Anybody know something about this? === joseph is now known as Super-Link7 [20:30] do i have to break this if i want it to stop [20:30] ctrl ^c [20:30] Dr_willis_: It doesn't work. I had some problems with X on behalf of something else. I think with "localhost" and this xhost command you're referring to X using network ports. But if you (i don't know how) grep port :600 you will see no X, because it uses a "unix socket" or something like that ^^ I have no idea in detail but.... [20:31] got this [20:31] Dr_willis_: netstat -plunt | grep :600 [20:31] 67 packets transmitted, 67 received, 0% packet loss, time 66016ms [20:31] rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.037/0.039/0.045/0.006 ms [20:31] Dr_willis_: You believe my nVidia GeForce FX 5700LE is glx and not glx-new? [20:31] Shapeshifter, you are getting into some Old-skool linux/X stuff now. :) [20:31] Hi, after installing compiz, katapult ceased to work. Anybody know something about this? [20:32] draik, i never have seen what uses 'glx-new' i though that was for the 8800+ cards. [20:32] draik, it should be nvidia-glx, or glx-new, ts not glx-legacy [20:32] mneisen: press alt+f2, type katapult and press enter [20:32] then try alt+space [20:32] does it work? [20:32] how do i check my ip address [20:32] psycholic: ifconfig [20:32] Dr_willis_: Yeah... it totally sucks. Why can't linux be more dual head friendly. I mean it's soso these days but 3 years ago it was a desaster.. [20:32] With Feisty, I tried glx and turned out I needed glx-new (which I found to be weird as well. [20:33] Shapeshifter, to be honest with you - you ARE doing some weird things. and i think 1/2 your problems are from using the same user/kde on 2 different sessions. [20:33] what you are geting into now has NOTHING to do with dualhead. :) but more of 'dual desktops' [20:33] You would encounter similer issues with 2 vnc sessions, or so forth. [20:34] Dr_willis_: mh ;) Well, you know actually, why am I doing this? Because I want two independent CF cubes :P [20:34] Plus you are adding compiz into the mix - and compiz is very much a 'work in progress' [20:34] Dr_willis_: And I have two independet cubes now, its AWESOME. [20:34] psycholic: ifconfig in a terminal [20:34] Shapeshifter, I find the cube useless... :) [20:34] i find most of the compiz stuff useless.. [20:34] hi! ie got some problems with the ATI Driver i got from ati.com... i installed them like in the instructions and the 3D Part still doesn work. can anyone help me please? got an x700 [20:35] Dr_willis_: Well, matter of taste [20:35] well i cant ping the other computer it does nothing and says sent # recived ) [20:35] some people spend way too much time twiddling wuith eyecandy. :) [20:35] i did mange to ping myself lol [20:35] I think bazhang went MIA [20:35] webvictim: no, it does not work. it seems like alt+space does not trigger katapult any more. [20:35] psycholic: could be that a firewall is blocking it [20:35] yeah [20:36] could be compiz is taking over the keybindings. with somthing else [20:36] Dr_willis_: Eyecandy is good. It make's working more fun and less stressful. After all the stress getting it working ^^ [20:36] since compiz does replace the kde window manager [20:36] i just got it going though [20:36] ^ yup thats it.. [20:36] Shapeshifter, sounds like you managed to stress yourself out quite a bit fighting with the system. [20:36] i installed guardog firewall didn't know what i was doing and fed up something === francesco_ is now known as leprod6 [20:36] and i haven't changed the compiz key bindings [20:37] my laptop doesn't play nice with compiz. I like it on my desktop though [20:37] i tryed to flush my iptables did not work [20:37] webvictim, the default bindings MAY be taking over. [20:37] compiz has its own set of keybinding controlls/settings [20:37] Is there a reason knetworkmanager would work in kubuntu and not in debian with my wireless card? [20:38] sure, but i don't think but the default bindings interfere with katapult [20:38] webvictim, try some other kde keybindings.. [20:38] do any of them work. :) [20:38] alt+f2 does :D [20:38] although i will admit that i have tried to bind winkey+R to the same function, and it won't work :( [20:39] alt-space is often used to activate the windows/menus. thats a common issue with katapult at times [20:39] i don't want to have to renintall it that sucks [20:39] fire up ccsm and look at all the bindings I guess. [20:39] guess i have to [20:39] psycholic, or learn how to use guarddog. :) [20:39] psycholic: do sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop [20:39] i uninstalled it [20:40] and give a ping another try [20:40] guarddog proberly generated a iptables ruleset. which is still around [20:40] ok [20:40] i can do that [20:40] 'sudo iptables --list' to see them all [20:40] bear in mind that i don't know how guarddog works === blendtux is now known as blendtux_ === blendtux_ is now known as bblendtux [20:40] but i think if you disable iptables, we should be able to work out whether that's the problem [20:42] hello all [20:42] I have a quick question: does anyone here know how to use Keep to backup files to a samba share on a network? [20:42] Dr_willis_: Well how would I be able to run two parallel X sessions each of them on one screen? [20:43] Shapeshifter, vnc :) and put one in a vncclient window. or xnest [20:43] i test out diffrent desktops that way all the time [20:43] of course compiz wont work with that stuff [20:43] Dr_willis_yeah well. ... [20:44] Dr_willis_: I'm hungry now :P gtg [20:44] thx for the help [20:44] but it can workj as a test bed to see how to run different apps with display, and xhost and so forth [20:44] yeah well. cu then [20:45] well iptables has no lists i did do a flush [20:45] sudo iptables --flush [20:46] can i check to see what ip address are on my network? ie... term === francesco_ is now known as leprod [20:48] You mean scan the network for what ip address other machines are using? [20:49] is there a way to use "normal" KDE window decorations with compiz? [20:49] mneisen: you probably want kde-window-decorator [20:50] doe_: thanks. === gsr_ is now known as gsr [20:50] does anyone know of a good way to automatically back up my home folder to a samba share on the network daily? [20:50] Keep doesn't seem to like samba shares [20:50] although if you're willing to help me fix Keep to do it, I'd be grateful [20:50] depends on how you are accessing the share. :) [20:51] doe_: rsync [20:51] doe_: in which repository is kde-window-decorator?

[21:52] but he ended up reinstallng [21:52] mmkay. [21:52] way overkill [21:52] thats windows training kicking in. [21:53] thought that maybe you could help him ... bu I think everything is OK [21:53] what was... [21:53] (reinstalling is overkill) [21:53] Dr_willis_: yeah.. but he had a teleconference the next morning [21:54] does anyone have a wb-1400T trust webcam? [21:54] how can i print with the correct resolution? [21:55] what res is the correct one? :) [21:55] i need to have exact measurements on a printout, but cannot get it right, because printing from gimp does not work correctly and the other apps don't get it [21:55] gg [21:55] well i have set in gimp that 200px match 5 centimeters [21:56] thats what i want :) [21:56] Heck in 20+ years i can only rember one way i could print 'exact' distances with a printer. :) [21:56] and that was with my AMIGA and a 9 pin printer [21:56] hehe [21:57] printing is not fashionable anymore ^^ [21:57] i just generated an 6,1 gb image by setting the corresponding 600dpi size trying to workaround so that i can print using gwenview ^^ === pedro_ is now known as PHI === PHI is now known as PHIxxx [22:02] hi all [22:03] is my question that hard to answer? :) [22:03] or do i have to boot M$ to be able to print correctly :) [22:04] Briareos1, i cant even get things to print to scale with Autocad :) [22:04] Briareos1, and thats under windows.

[22:08] should at least end with a questionmark [22:08] :) thanks aapzak. [22:09] got one myself: how do I disable compiz by default in kubuntu? [22:09] my question is what is the right place to start for troubleshooting soundcard problems? [22:09] start by describing your issue. [22:09] Afternoon again everyone. [22:09] and knowing vendor and type of soundcard [22:10] I've got the PCI code for it. [22:10] aapzak: it's not enabled by default [22:10] !compiz [22:10] how did you enable compiz? [22:10] 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 [22:11] unless you did a custom iso that enables it on default... in which case there would be a ton of people out there who would love you [22:11] so if I uninstall the kde-compiz stuff I should be allright .. [22:11] aapzak: it's not turned on by default, so if it's starting with KDE, there's probably something in ~/.kde/Autostart that's doing it [22:11] Anyone running with a successful ATI fglrx 8.42.3 install, that has non-fubar'ed OpenGL ? [22:11] probably in my sessions then [22:11] posingaspopular: it's hardly difficult to turn it on ;P [22:13] Is there an authoritative source to say if Audio device [0403]: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia [1002:4383] is supported? [22:14] !hardware [22:14] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [22:14] Ellipsys: yup :) [22:14] Ellipsys: install it directly from the .run [22:14] robert__: it is supported.

So the version on the repos is bad somehow, but the .run is fine? [22:15] hello [22:15] guys, where can I get the SMS plug-in for Kopete? I can't find it in the repos. I am still feisty-fawining ;) [22:15] Ellipsys: there is a 8.42 in the repositories? [22:15] nosrednaekim: There is. 8.43.3 [22:15] robert__: note that it's entirely possible that you need a quirk; I'd need the subvendor and subdevice IDs. [22:16] I don't understand your second post crimsun. [22:16] i have 2 vista entries in grub [22:16] nosrednaekim: Er... 8.42.3 [22:16] 1 works, the other one takes me to a big ERROR on a blue screen [22:16] k, sry people. Appearantly compiz ended up in my session. Got rid of it quiet easily [22:16] robert__: you asked for an authoritative source to say if that vendor and device ID are supported. I gave you the precise line number in the actual source file that answers, 'yes'. [22:16] Ellipsys: I only see one(8.34)... what extra repository do you have? [22:17] D'Oh! okay. I get it now. [22:17] thanks crimsun. [22:17] np [22:17] nosrednaekim: Just says "restricted" is where the package is [22:18] humm [22:19] Ok, I've got a major problem. I ended up having to reinstall everything after a major crash. The problem is, the mouse on my Wacom Graphire4 is not working. The Stylus is fine, but no mouse. [22:19] nosrednaekim: Unless it came in Medibuntu somehow, but it would be labled that way right? [22:19] IDK [22:19] it may have.. [22:19] nosrednaekim: Medibuntu, WineHQ, and the officials are the only ones I have [22:19] you can check where its from with apt-cache policy [22:19] wow - the first person ive seen in here that actually USES a wacom tablet. :) [22:19] Dr_willis_: I use it for art. [22:20] why do i have 2? [22:20] Ellipsys: and unfortunately... my mom is kicking me off the computer so I can'thelp you :( [22:20] Dr_willis_: Gimp seems work better with it, too. [22:20] nosrednaekim: No problem. I'll see what I can find out. [22:20] nosrednaekim: Hope your mom lets you back on soon :D [22:20] :D [22:21] why do i have 2 vista entries in grub? [22:23] jeanmass_, check your hard drive/system - most likely yiou have 2 'windows' partitions or drives. [22:24] Many companies have a 'restore' partition these days on their machines. [22:24] i've 1 vista partition and a recovery one [22:24] maybe the 2nd one is the recovery [22:24] Yep. thats proberly right. [22:24] on my silly machine the FIRST partition is the recovery one. :) [22:25] do you reckon the second vista entry in grub is for the recovery partition? [22:25] try one, try the other. :) see which one works [22:25] rename them in the menu.lst file [22:25] you guys use the KDE translucency and stuff? I'm a sucker for shadows under windows :) [22:26] Dr_willis_: should i delete it or rename it? [22:26] anyone else have trouble uploading pictures to ebay? i tried ff and opera and ended up having to do it in windows [22:27] because when i load the 2nd partition, it starts like windows is loading, and it ends with a big ERROR in blue [22:28] plus i am never going to boot from a recovery partition [22:28] Dr_willis_: is OK to erase it? [22:34] How's that Kopete/MSN fix coming along? [22:34] How do i stop the trackpad scroll thingies from working? [22:35] Is there an app to convert OGG to MP3? I have many CDs that I have ripped with k3b and I didn't notice I was doing them in OGG instead of MP3. I wouldn't mind if only my MP3 player would read OGG [22:35] xfca does draik [22:36] if i told knetworkmanager to save my passwords in plain text, how do i find the password [22:36] xfca? [22:36] apt gets me soundkonverter [22:36] ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-455963.html [22:37] http://bulin.claude.neuf.fr/xcfa-download.html [22:38] jeanmass_, could just comment it out with the # symbol [22:39] Dr_willis_: yes, there is no point in loading from recovery partition [22:39] juan: try in .kde/share/config/knetworkmanagerrc [22:40] hello. i have an "interesting" question: i have a dell inspiron 1501 and am using kubuntu, of course. now, not everything works (like screen brightness, suspend...) but i'm quite pleased with it [22:40] Dr_willis_: the 5 lines? title, root, savedefault, makeactive, chainloader? [22:40] Yep [22:41] the interesting matter is that those running ubuntu on the same laptop (same version, feisty), have no such problems [22:41] each menu entry is defined by a 'paragraph' of lines. :) [22:41] question: why is this huge difference? it should not be there [22:41] second: is it then better to install ubuntu then KDE on top of it? [22:42] what channel should i go to ask about hardware? [22:42] clau85, i though Dell was supposed to come out with a ubuntu-variant thats tweaked for their lapttops [22:42] #hardware [22:42] ? [22:42] clau85, install ubuntu, then intall kubuntu-desktop is what i normally do. [22:42] looks good ;p [22:42] clau85, the other way - would work. proberly will see no diffeances other then perhaps artwork. [22:43] yea, but that actually sucks :) [22:43] i mean, why is there kubuntu in the first place? :) [22:43] i mean, don't get me wrong, i love it, but this is quite a... problem [22:43] do it eitgher way.. why is there a ubuntu... :) [22:43] i see no problem either way. [22:43] thx MementoMori [22:44] I installed Mythbuntu on this box. Then installed Ubuntu-desktop and Kubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop [22:44] ok, thanks ;) [22:48] Would you all say that kubuntu's hardware support for laptop is as good as ubuntus? [22:48] goingtomoonbrb, it 'should' be identical [22:48] laptops* [22:48] yeah the underlying stuff is the same [22:48] All that's different is the wm? [22:48] Okay. [22:48] aince the hardware support is at a lower 'layer' of the os [22:48] :) [22:48] and the default programs [22:48] Thanks. [22:49] (k)Ubuntu has the best laptop support ive seen in a distro so far. :) [22:49] i've just installed latest kubuntu on a new asus f3sa [22:49] and i have no sound [22:50] Thats the problem with 'brand new' stuff. it may have a audio chipset thats so new - there may not be any linxu support for it yet. :( [22:50] Dr_willis_: it worked on livecd just before installing kubuntu [22:50] jeanmass_, thats a good sign then. :) [22:51] but nothing since installation [22:51] You sure the mixers are just not set to a low volume/muted? [22:51] and since install it doesnot even work on livecd [22:51] i've checked 100 times the volume [22:52] jeanmass_, thats very very odd... [22:52] are you dualbooting this? [22:53] whats the command to reset alsa settings? === morpheus is now known as paraflyer [22:53] I'm planning on dual booting, and I was wondering if (k)ubuntu can mart NTFS partitions. === paraflyer is now known as morpheus [22:53] heres a n00b question for you: how do i boot up to linux? [22:53] goingtomoonbrb, linux has read/write support for ntfs now with the ntfs-3g drivers [22:53] Dry_Ice, when you power up after inatll you should see th grub menu. that lets you pick what os to boot [22:54] ? [22:54] ?? [22:54] i'm booting up an intel mac [22:54] 'You power up' 'You see menu' 'you select linux' :) [22:54] nope... [22:54] No idea on macs. i think they need to use LILO instead of grub. [22:54] i can't boot up to sys... [22:54] g2g [22:55] i'll ask later [22:55] Hmm... ##windows is telling me that I'm going to kill my Vista partition if I try to split it :P [22:55] Oh well' [22:55] goingtomoonbrb, ive resized befor with no hassles. :) [22:55] goingtomoonbrb, depends on the exact layout. [22:56] < [22:57] !compiz [22:57] Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness.

Until latest rc everything was ok [23:08] how annoying :) [23:09] MementoMori: thanks for the answer though [23:09] profoX`: do a full update enabling proposed repository [23:10] I think proposed updates are a bit more secure than unsupported ones, am I wrong? [23:10] MementoMori: sure. I hope it gets merged as a normal update soon.. I can imagine a lot of frustration of some people though [23:10] s/though/otherwise [23:11] profoX`: I dont remember its bug number, let me do a quick search [23:11] MementoMori: its okay [23:12] MementoMori: if I'm really worried I'll go look for it myself.. for now I'll just enable gutsy-proposed for myself [23:14] the correct order to clean reinstall an app is to delete the ~/.appfolder and then remove it via synaptic and then reinstall it, right?
