| SMonk | !ask | 00:01 |
| ubotu | Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 00:01 |
| SMonk | Ok, I have an AMD machine, running a SATA HD 320gb, and a 150gb IDE HD.. Vista installed the MBR on the IDE for some dumb reason, and put the OS on the SATA, now when I went to put on Kubuntu 7.10 I think it must have erased the MBR for Vista and I can't seem to get it back.. any ideas? | 00:03 |
| vzduch | !vista | 00:04 |
| ubotu | vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org | 00:04 |
| vzduch | lol | 00:04 |
| |dthacker| | SMonk: grab a rescue CD that will let you rebuild an MBR. Google for such a beastie. | 00:04 |
| SMonk | lol | 00:04 |
| vzduch | I heard there are special precautions to be taken when dual-booting w/ Vista.. (which isn't desireable in itself anyway ;)) | 00:04 |
| Dr_willis | hmm.. im not sure how to recover the vista mbr. :) i know with XP you can boot a xp cd an duse the fixmbr command | 00:05 |
| SMonk | I tried to use the rescue from the Vista CD it'self but it can't find my HD's now | 00:05 |
| Dr_willis | I unpluged my ide drive and let my vista install only go on the SATA drive. | 00:05 |
| Dr_willis | then i pluged in the ide. for the linux install :) | 00:05 |
| SMonk | I know vista's crap.. the whole MS is crap.. but my wife needs it.. atleast I didn't pay for it.. lol | 00:05 |
| Dr_willis | Linux i think - should be able to boot the Windows Install from grub with the proper entry | 00:06 |
| Dresken | I remember reading a quote somewhere about vista.. | 00:06 |
| SMonk | That's not a bad idea Dr | 00:06 |
| Dresken | "Best thing about vista is that even viruses have compatibility problems" | 00:06 |
| SMonk | LOL | 00:06 |
| Dr_willis | ive also kept both os's totally seperate and used the BIOS to boot what hd i wanted depending on what OS i wanted to boot to. | 00:06 |
| vzduch | SMonk: what applications forcibly need Vista? I'd suggest you get a copy of XP and install that.. | 00:06 |
| SMonk | it's so true... it's such a POS. everything crashes on it | 00:07 |
| Dresken | Yeah well other than gaming I'm pretty much done with windows.. | 00:07 |
| Dresken | and for that I'll stick with XP | 00:07 |
| |dthacker| | Smonk:http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=2585240 | 00:07 |
| |dthacker| | may be helpful. | 00:08 |
| |dthacker| | no one here knows an answer to my question, and I just unsubscribed from the koffice list :) | 00:09 |
| acko88 | |dthacker| what is your question ?? | 00:11 |
| SMonk | Hmm... thanks hacker.. that might work | 00:11 |
| SMonk | i'll give it a shot | 00:11 |

| sam1337 | Is it possible to format a new 500gb hdd with encrypted lvm, copy the files over from my current 200gb hdd, delete all the data from the 200gb hdd and then use the 200gb hdd to expand my /home partition onto both discs so I can store tons of games, songs and movies? | 00:14 |
| |dthacker| | acko88: where in kontact do I set the program that opens when you click a link in kmail? | 00:15 |

| vip3rousmango | I'm running 7.04 KDE and I'm having issues burning anything (cd/dvd) with my DVD-RW Drive. Im using Nero Linux and all of the disks fail at the lead-out part. Anyone have any suggestions? | 00:24 |
| sd32 | are you getting any error codes? | 00:25 |
| Dry_Ice | no... | 00:25 |
| vzduch | vip3rousmango: tried burning w/ K3b yet? | 00:25 |
| Dry_Ice | i don't know how to boot it | 00:25 |
| sd32 | did you install? | 00:25 |
| acko88 | i now runing 192MBram. 433mhz CPU 10GB HDD | 00:25 |
| iSeriesSysAdm | it's either the CD/Firmware | 00:25 |
| sd32 | ahhh | 00:25 |
| iSeriesSysAdm | or move the CD to the other IDE | 00:25 |
| vip3rousmango | vzduch: no, never tryed the app. should i? better than nero? | 00:25 |
| vzduch | at least it's free | 00:26 |
| vzduch | in difference to Nero | 00:26 |
| iSeriesSysAdm | i would say it's better and light | 00:26 |
| sd32 | you have to download the disk image then burn it to a disk then run the disk | 00:26 |
| iSeriesSysAdm | lite | 00:26 |
| vip3rousmango | well nero linux is free... | 00:26 |
| vzduch | well, it might be free, but it's not free.. | 00:26 |
| vzduch | ;) | 00:26 |
| vip3rousmango | Can K3b burn DVD-Rs as well? or is it only cd? | 00:27 |
| Dr_willis | nero linux was not free last i looked. | 00:27 |
| sd32 | costly in time and frusrtration | 00:27 |
| vip3rousmango | ... i downloaded it for free fine.. right off the site | 00:27 |
| vzduch | my father has all kinds of issues w/ his burning software in Winblows.. K3b did everything flawlessly up to now | 00:28 |
| Dr_willis | all the reviews ive seen of nero for linux say k3b beats it. :) | 00:28 |
| Dr_willis | k3b can burn dvd's | 00:28 |
| vip3rousmango | alrighty then, k3b it is | 00:28 |
| Dry_Ice | sd32: yes, i installed | 00:28 |
| Dry_Ice | sd32: to a partition on an external drive | 00:28 |
| sd32 | dry ice, then what happens when you restart? | 00:29 |
| vzduch | Dry_Ice: then you need to point your BIOS to boot from that drive | 00:29 |
| sd32 | ahhh | 00:29 |
| Dry_Ice | how? | 00:29 |
| Dry_Ice | vzduch: how would i do that? | 00:30 |
| vzduch | depends on your BIOS and its revision.. | 00:30 |
| vzduch | better look for yourself | 00:30 |
| Dry_Ice | mac os x | 00:30 |
| vzduch | no idea about Mac BIOS.. | 00:30 |
| Dry_Ice | i can't find any docs | 00:30 |
| vip3rousmango | yikes.. mac | 00:30 |
| Dry_Ice | shaddup :P | 00:31 |
| Dr_willis_ | vip3rousmango, he sort of dident mention that imporntant fact. :) and its to an external drive... | 00:31 |
| Dr_willis_ | Dry_Ice, this is an external USB drive? | 00:31 |
| Dry_Ice | no | 00:31 |
| Dry_Ice | firewire... | 00:31 |
| Dr_willis_ | well at ONE time there was some key ya held down on macs that made them boot off the external HDs | 00:31 |
| Dry_Ice | don't tell me there aren't any mac nerds in here... | 00:31 |
| Dr_willis_ | but i dotn rember what the key is. or even if that still applies to the 'new' macs | 00:31 |
| Dry_Ice | that's for booting up to another hdd that has mac os... | 00:32 |
| Dry_Ice | its the 'option' key | 00:32 |
| Dry_Ice | nada shows up xcept my main drive | 00:32 |
| Dr_willis_ | I do recall people saying that LILO was needed for the mac installs. not grub. But i have no experience with them. | 00:32 |
| Dry_Ice | where the heck do i get lilo? | 00:33 |

| Dr_willis_ | Lilo is the old linux boot loader. befor grub became common. | 00:35 |
| Dry_Ice | ic | 00:35 |
| Dr_willis_ | Im not even sure that LILO can boot an external hd. | 00:35 |
| sam1337 | With lilo you can place /boot into an lvm partition. | 00:36 |
| vzduch | used to be quite a pain to dual-boot w/ Lilo, at least for me | 00:36 |

| sam1337 | What would happen if I tried to plugin a pci wireless card whilst kubuntu is running? | 00:37 |
| sd32 | is there any need for having 512 meg in kubuntu? | 00:37 |
| Dr_willis_ | Plugging in a PCI card with the Power on can = a dead pc. | 00:37 |

| Dry_Ice | does anyone know where i can get lilo? | 00:37 |
| Dr_willis_ | Dry_Ice, its a package you install... | 00:37 |

| sam1337 | Dr_willis_: Could I plugin a sata hdd whilst my pc is running? | 00:38 |
| Dr_willis_ | Dry_Ice, boot live cd. chroot over to the exteranal drive. install lilo then.. good luck. :) i bet theres other things needed as well. | 00:38 |

| Tm_T | _Angelus_: and? | 01:10 |
| _Angelus_ | i dunno someone told me to do that | 01:10 |
| _Angelus_ | does it mean it cannot find libraries or something | 01:10 |
| _Angelus_ | btw this a pre-compiled executable | 01:11 |
| Tm_T | yes I know it is that :) | 01:11 |
| Tm_T | _Angelus_: where did you find that binary? does it have installing instructions? are there Ubuntu packaged replacement? | 01:11 |
| _Angelus_ | no there isn't | 01:12 |
| _Angelus_ | its a playstation emulator | 01:12 |
| Tm_T | I see | 01:12 |
| Tm_T | well, I have no idea about how that binary was compiled | 01:12 |

| RogueJediX | _Angelus_: Do you have the libgtk1.2 package installed? | 01:13 |
| _Angelus_ | yes | 01:14 |
| RogueJediX | _Angelus_: Did you try making a symbolic link? | 01:15 |
| _Angelus_ | no | 01:15 |
| _Angelus_ | how can i do it? | 01:15 |
| RogueJediX | _Angelus_: Sorry, never mind. Didn't notice it's even named the same | 01:15 |
| RogueJediX | _Angelus_: Forget it, my bad | 01:16 |
| _Angelus_ | could it be because im using a 64bit OS | 01:16 |
| _Angelus_ | and the prog is 32bit | 01:16 |
| _Angelus_ | ? | 01:16 |
| RogueJediX | _Angelus_: I can only guess at this point | 01:16 |
| Tm_T | _Angelus_: not only that, there's lots of other things | 01:17 |
| RogueJediX | _Angelus_: How about trying PCSX? | 01:17 |
| _Angelus_ | tried it | 01:17 |
| _Angelus_ | but it didn't have the plugin to run directly from cd | 01:17 |
| _Angelus_ | it had only the one to run from ISO | 01:17 |
| RogueJediX | _Angelus_: Just a sec... | 01:18 |
| _Angelus_ | ok | 01:18 |
| Tm_T | sgumiel: you're there? | 01:18 |
| RogueJediX | _Angelus_: I'm sorry again. Didn't find anything. CDR Mooby is the plugin you used? | 01:19 |
| _Angelus_ | yeah | 01:20 |
| _Angelus_ | which loads only from ISO | 01:21 |
| _Angelus_ | also, Kubuntu Feisty had a PSX or PCSX package | 01:21 |
| _Angelus_ | which it got removed on gutsy | 01:21 |
| _Angelus_ | i wonder why | 01:21 |
| _Angelus_ | or maybe it's because im using the 64bit version | 01:21 |
| RogueJediX | Probably. I have a 32-bit processor and I can see it in the repos | 01:22 |
| _Angelus_ | you're using gutsy? | 01:22 |
| RogueJediX | Yes | 01:22 |
| _Angelus_ | if yes, then thats the reason | 01:22 |
| _Angelus_ | hehe | 01:22 |
| RogueJediX | _Angelus_: Oh, yeah. There's actually another emulator you can try | 01:23 |
| _Angelus_ | which one | 01:23 |
| atlfalcons866 | is kde 4 in hardy | 01:24 |
| Tm_T | atlfalcons866: by default? no | 01:24 |
| RogueJediX | _Angelus_: http://psxemulator.gazaxian.com/ | 01:24 |
| midnightmaniac | Hi all :) | 01:24 |
| atlfalcons866 | why | 01:24 |
| Tm_T | atlfalcons866: wont be stable enough for LTS release | 01:25 |
| atlfalcons866 | so hardy kde is going to be like gutsy then? | 01:25 |
| Tm_T | umm no | 01:25 |
| roomulo | hello, there | 01:26 |
| roomulo | how to set konqueror as default file explorer on gutsy? | 01:27 |
| Tm_T | atlfalcons866: ofcourse KDE3 is still moving train | 01:27 |
| atlfalcons866 | roomulo: remove dolphin | 01:27 |
| roomulo | atlfalcon866: just remove? | 01:28 |
| atlfalcons866 | roomulo: thats the only way i know how | 01:29 |
| atlfalcons866 | roomulo: sudo apt-get remove dolphin | 01:29 |
| Jucato | ??? | 01:29 |
| Jucato | !d3lphin | 01:29 |
| ubotu | 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. | 01:29 |

| _Angelus_ | i installed it | 01:30 |
| _Angelus_ | :o | 01:30 |
| biovore | you sure you got the right one? | 01:30 |
| biovore | might have the wrong version of the lib.. | 01:31 |
| RogueJediX | _Angelus_: Installed what? libgtkglext1? | 01:31 |
| _Angelus_ | yes RogueJediX | 01:31 |
| RogueJediX | _Angelus_: Well, I'm out of ideas then. ePSXe, PCSX and epSX are about the only three Linux Playstation emulators I'm aware of | 01:33 |
| _Angelus_ | pcsx is the only one that worked | 01:34 |
| Jucato | !info epsxe | 01:34 |
| ubotu | Package epsxe does not exist in gutsy | 01:34 |
| RogueJediX | Sorry, epSX = pSX | 01:34 |
| roomulo | atlfalcons866: i followed the ubotu sugestion and worked | 01:34 |
| Jucato | er... it was there before :/ | 01:34 |
| roomulo | atlfalcons866: thank you | 01:34 |
| atlfalcons866 | thank Jucato | 01:34 |
| RogueJediX | _Angelus_: How about ripping the CD and running it through Mooby? | 01:34 |

| _Angelus_ | yeah | 01:36 |
| _Angelus_ | thats what i want | 01:36 |
| Jucato | just install it through Adept or apt-get? | 01:37 |
| wesley | with wich app i need to lauch when taking screenshots with the shortcut from compiz fusion | 01:38 |
| RogueJediX | _Angelus_: Right, then run K3B, click CD copy and when the windows pops up, check "Only create image" | 01:38 |
| RogueJediX | _Angelus_: Also, don't forget to click the Image tab and set the directory where you want your image ripped to | 01:38 |
| hero | i <3 kubuntu | 01:38 |
| _Angelus_ | i know man | 01:38 |
| bazhang | wesley: you need to look at the key bindings in the settings manager | 01:38 |
| _Angelus_ | but its not worth making an image of every cd | 01:38 |
| _Angelus_ | lol | 01:38 |
| profoX` | wesley: hey where are you from? :P | 01:42 |
| profoX` | wesley: in compizconfig-settings-manager (ccsm) for the screenshot application you can put ksnapshot if that's what you mean | 01:43 |

| toxop1asma | i have a noob question about hardware | 02:08 |
| toxop1asma | does video card matter for much other than games? | 02:08 |
| bazhang | 3d effects if you like them | 02:09 |
| toxop1asma | what about 2d stuff, like dvds and hdtv? | 02:09 |
| bazhang | what card do you have? | 02:09 |
| toxop1asma | i have a geforce2, 64m. | 02:09 |
| bazhang | more than sufficient | 02:10 |
| toxop1asma | thanks! | 02:10 |
| bazhang | no problem! | 02:10 |
| toxop1asma | and just out of curiosity, would it be any good for compiz or such? | 02:10 |
| === jared is now known as _Rukus | ||
| bazhang | toxop1asma: I got compiz going on a 7 year old ati 340M card.. bit sluggish, but worked | 02:11 |
| profoX` | actually, hdtv might be a problem I think :P | 02:12 |
| bazhang | really? | 02:12 |
| bazhang | 740p or 1080? | 02:12 |
| _Rukus | is there XGL/Compiz for Gutsy? i'm fairly new to kubuntu, and i cannot seem to find if there is a solid way to make that work | 02:12 |
| bazhang | or is that 720? | 02:12 |
| profoX` | bazhang: well, i'm not sure, but I tried to run 1080p with video acceleration on my geforce 3 once and it worked, but it wasn't really smooth | 02:13 |
| _Rukus | 720 | 02:13 |
| bazhang | thanks _Rukus | 02:13 |
| _Rukus | np | 02:13 |
| bazhang | and yes of course there is compiz-fusion | 02:13 |
| profoX` | bazhang: I could make it smoother with some mplayer-fu fiddling, but then the quality was weirder :) | 02:13 |
| toxop1asma | profoX`: are you sure that was due to the card, though? | 02:13 |
| bazhang | it's what we live for :} | 02:13 |
| _Rukus | i think i need a walkthrough if there is one | 02:14 |
| _Rukus | to make it work | 02:14 |
| profoX` | toxop1asma: ah, well, it was a while ago, I can test it again on my Intel graphics Card if you want :P all in all it should be a bit faster than a geforce 2 i think | 02:14 |
| bazhang | _Rukus: it's right here | 02:14 |
| _Rukus | ? | 02:14 |
| bazhang | can you use the terminal _Rukus? | 02:14 |
| _Rukus | did i come at the right time? | 02:14 |
| profoX` | _Rukus: hold on. Xgl is probably not what you want. which graphics card do you have | 02:14 |
| _Rukus | yah | 02:14 |
| _Rukus | ATI 200m | 02:14 |
| _Rukus | lappy | 02:14 |
| profoX` | Xgl is almost not needed anymore (actually, it isn't needed anymore for any card nowadays) AIGLX is the future | 02:15 |
| profoX` | I'm not sure whether the new fglrx driver is already in Gutsy (it has AIGLX support) | 02:15 |
| profoX` | but otherwise, you have to whitelist the fglrx driver and install xserver-xgl | 02:15 |
| _Rukus | i also run 64bit (which i found can be tricky at times) | 02:15 |
| bazhang | _Rukus: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-kde emerald | 02:15 |
| profoX` | but that's just a temporary thing | 02:15 |
| profoX` | in the future it'll be nicer | 02:15 |
| _Rukus | ugh i cant listen to so many people at the same time | 02:15 |
| _Rukus | lol | 02:15 |
| profoX` | when the AIGLX driver is in Hardy or something | 02:16 |
| _Rukus | i dont know what is right and what is wrong | 02:16 |
| profoX` | yea it's confusing, and we're talking about different things :P | 02:16 |
| bazhang | hahaha you listen you hear things? | 02:16 |
| _Rukus | same sh*t man | 02:16 |
| _Rukus | lol | 02:16 |
| profoX` | wait, long story short | 02:16 |
| profoX` | did you already install the fglrx driver ? | 02:16 |
| toxop1asma | profoX`: thanks, but i'm probably not worth the trouble. how does one look for a good 2d video card, though? all the benchmarks concentrate on games | 02:16 |
| profoX` | (the proprietary graphics card driver?) | 02:16 |
| _Rukus | this is my setup Amd 3200+ 64bit with xpress200m notebook | 02:16 |
| _Rukus | i dont know | 02:17 |
| profoX` | toxop1asma: I have no idea.. my intel graphics card can do 3d you know ;) it's just not meant for high-performance games, but I occasionally play openarena and stuff | 02:17 |
| toxop1asma | a | 02:17 |
| toxop1asma | err. wrong finger placement :/ | 02:17 |
| profoX` | :P | 02:18 |
| _Rukus | can i install it using my Adept Manager? is that fine? | 02:18 |
| _Rukus | i found it in there not installed | 02:18 |
| toxop1asma | profoX`: what card is it? i didn't even know Intel made cards. i thought they only did onboard video (for which there are good drivers) | 02:18 |
| profoX` | toxop1asma: well it IS an on board video card | 02:18 |
| profoX` | toxop1asma: nevertheless it still is a graphics card :P | 02:18 |
| _Rukus | !! | 02:19 |
| profoX` | it works remarkably well for most things | 02:19 |
| _Rukus | i wish i knew what to do haha | 02:19 |
| toxop1asma | oh. in that case i didn't know they were called cards :p i stopped worrying about this stuff a long time ago, but now my hardware is getting crusty | 02:19 |
| profoX` | _Rukus: yea well.. it's a bit complicated with AMD/ATI.. you have several different solutions to get that "3D compiz stuff" running.. both have advantages and disadvantages.. | 02:20 |
| profoX` | for now I'd just go with Xgl.. when Hardy Heron (the next Kubuntu release) is here you'll probably want to use AIGLX though | 02:20 |
| profoX` | but first check whether your graphics driver is installed correctly | 02:20 |
| _Rukus | guhhh | 02:21 |
| profoX` | what does "fglrxinfo" give you in a terminal window? (k menu - system - terminal/konsole) | 02:21 |
| _Rukus | i am nna take this all as new information as i research | 02:21 |
| _Rukus | nothing too hasty for now | 02:21 |
| bazhang | we'll be here haha | 02:21 |
| _Rukus | lol tells me to install spoken of driver | 02:22 |
| _Rukus | lol thanks bazhang | 02:22 |
| profoX` | nyea I think the ubuntu guys made a rash decision by enabling compiz by default through AIGLX in gutsy | 02:22 |
| _Rukus | i'm gonna install it | 02:22 |
| profoX` | of course it's nice and all, but right now it has some serious limitations that aren't worked out yet | 02:22 |
| profoX` | (although upstream X.org and compiz are actively working on it, should all work really nice in Hardy Heron) | 02:23 |
| _Rukus | ive come across some annoyances so far, like the k-menu and kopete | 02:23 |
| profoX` | _Rukus: whats wrong with the K-menu? I myself use Kick-off because the K-menu is so "old" :) | 02:23 |
| profoX` | kickoff is pretty nice | 02:23 |
| profoX` | only the point-and-activate is a bit annoying sometimes.. not sure how to disable that | 02:23 |
| _Rukus | it has _entries :k-menu before everything | 02:24 |
| profoX` | _Rukus: huh??? | 02:24 |
| _Rukus | i'm new so i use whats there | 02:24 |
| _Rukus | serious | 02:24 |
| _Rukus | one sec | 02:24 |
| profoX` | _Rukus: that's pretty strange :P | 02:24 |
| profoX` | shouldn't be there | 02:24 |
| _Rukus | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/135084 | 02:24 |
| _Rukus | theres the big reference. started reading a bit. its not a big deal, i "fixed" it but i dont get a description now, i just see program names | 02:24 |
| _Rukus | i changed it to say "name only" in menu | 02:25 |
| profoX` | thats nasty but they explain a workaround to fix it in the comments | 02:25 |
| _Rukus | ok i installed the driver now | 02:25 |
| _Rukus | do i need to reboot now? | 02:25 |
| profoX` | _Rukus: not necessarily, this is not windows, but because it's a proprietary driver it's best if you do restart to be sure | 02:26 |
| _Rukus | ok | 02:26 |
| profoX` | although an X restart would probably suffice | 02:26 |
| profoX` | :) | 02:26 |
| _Rukus | one sec | 02:26 |
| _Rukus | how do i do that | 02:26 |
| _Rukus | the most terminal and commads i ever used were in my irc shell | 02:26 |
| _Rukus | lol | 02:27 |
| profoX` | _Rukus: uhm, well, close your open applications and press ctrl+alt+delete, that's the quick way :P remember: the whoole graphical environment will restart so save changes first | 02:27 |
| bazhang | kbfx--much nicer | 02:27 |
| profoX` | i prefer kickoff over kbfx | 02:27 |
| bazhang | kickoff is very nice too :} | 02:27 |

| sMonk | I need some help.. I don't know if I f'd things up good now or not.. I have 2 hd's.. a ide and a Sata, Vista was installed on the Sata but the MBR was put on the IDE (i don't know why vista just does that) now after a while, I tried to install Kubuntu 7.1 and grub erased the MBR and put it's own in.. vista will not boot (all my wedding photos are on there inc other photos, resumes.. etc) I have tried putting in the Vista install | 02:28 |
| sMonk | dvd, and it does not see any hard drives and wants me to install drivers from the disk (wich I cannot find them) I have tried everything, for a while Kubuntu was showing the vista HD but would not mount it.. now it is not showing just the IDE is. Please I need some help.. I have searched every last forum I can think of. | 02:28 |
| profoX` | i hope that lancelot and raptor thing in KDE 4 will be in 4.0 or 4.1 and work :) those look real nice | 02:28 |
| froggles | hi | 02:28 |
| profoX` | as a menu replacement | 02:28 |
| froggles | it appears that ssh times out faster than other implementations of ssh clients (putty). | 02:28 |
| bazhang | they sure do--raptor especially | 02:29 |
| _Rukus | i accidentally did that too sMonk. i said "meh", enable ntfs-3g supprt hooked up my external USB sata drive to my laptop and transferred the partition to my external usb drive | 02:29 |
| profoX` | sMonk: auch, that sounds scary.. can you open up a terminal window (like Konsole)? K menu - system - terminal/konsole if I'm not mistaken | 02:29 |
| bazhang | sMonk: which is the internal kubuntu or other? | 02:29 |
| profoX` | sMonk: type "sudo fdisk -l" and copy/paste the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 02:29 |
| _Angelus_ | is it posible to use kubuntu without a drive at all | 02:29 |
| _Angelus_ | ? | 02:29 |
| sMonk | both are internal drives.. | 02:30 |
| bazhang | _Angelus_: hard drive cd drive | 02:30 |
| sMonk | yeah, I'm in Kubuntu right now, I can get consol etc | 02:30 |
| _Rukus | do u have an external hard drive? | 02:30 |
| sMonk | no | 02:30 |
| _Rukus | maybe you could atleast do what i did | 02:30 |
| profoX` | _Angelus_: you'll need something to have the data on :P | 02:30 |
| _Rukus | or install ntfs-3g into your distro | 02:30 |
| _Angelus_ | i know | 02:30 |
| _Rukus | and it gives you ntfs access | 02:30 |
| _Angelus_ | its just a test | 02:30 |
| profoX` | _Angelus_: so you'll probably atleast want a hard disk drive or something | 02:30 |
| _Angelus_ | because a friend booted gentoo without a drive | 02:30 |
| bazhang | pendrivelinux dot com :} | 02:31 |
| _Angelus_ | and he told me, try booting kubuntu without a drive | 02:31 |
| profoX` | _Angelus_: well, what do you mean "without a drive"? without a hard drive? | 02:31 |
| _Angelus_ | yeah | 02:31 |
| profoX` | bazhang: yea but then the question is.. is a pendrive a drive? :P | 02:31 |
| profoX` | you can boot ubuntu from a usb stick yes | 02:31 |
| _Angelus_ | no drives., just ram and network | 02:31 |
| _Angelus_ | networked to another box | 02:32 |
| profoX` | _Angelus_: that might be possible if the computers supports booting over the net | 02:32 |
| bazhang | profoX`: with casper rw then probably yes though no video compositing I'm guessing | 02:32 |
| sMonk | OK ProfoX I posted that text you want | 02:32 |
| profoX` | _Angelus_: i never tried it though | 02:32 |
| profoX` | sMonk: okay, can you give me the link? | 02:32 |
| sMonk | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43364/ | 02:32 |
| profoX` | sMonk: thanks | 02:32 |
| profoX` | sMonk: sda1 seems to be your windows partition | 02:33 |
| Rukus | u can liveboot | 02:33 |
| profoX` | sMonk: but something seems to be wrong with the partition table on that drive | 02:33 |
| profoX` | Rukus: are you _Rukus from a while ago? | 02:34 |
| Rukus | yes | 02:34 |
| Rukus | sorry | 02:34 |
| Rukus | u mean like moments ago right | 02:34 |
| sMonk | yeah, like I was saying, for some reason when I installed vista it put the mBR on the IDE drive, but put all the program on the Sata (leaving no mbr sector) | 02:34 |
| sMonk | now that the mbr is gone, and it's now ext3 and windows cant see that, it's all f'd up | 02:35 |
| Rukus | i'm on my windows XP machine that i use for satellite TV and DVD's and music and movies etc | 02:35 |
| Rukus | haha | 02:35 |
| sMonk | in a nutshell | 02:35 |
| profoX` | sMonk: try sudo fdisk /dev/hda | 02:36 |
| profoX` | Rukus: yea my English is a little broken :P | 02:36 |
| profoX` | Rukus: I'm no native speaker | 02:36 |
| profoX` | ..or typer | 02:36 |
| bazhang | I;m not a native typer :} | 02:36 |
| Rukus | lol its ok, i understood u well enough | 02:36 |
| profoX` | Rukus: does fglrxinfo work now? | 02:36 |
| bazhang | err I'm | 02:36 |
| Rukus | one sec just rebooted | 02:36 |
| Kr4t05 | Has anyone else been successful in getting a wired Logitech Chillstream to work in Gutsy? | 02:37 |
| profoX` | sMonk: sorry I meant: sudo fdisk /dev/sda | 02:37 |
| profoX` | s instread of h | 02:37 |
| profoX` | Kr4t05: whats that for a thing? | 02:37 |
| profoX` | a chillstream | 02:37 |
| profoX` | sounds neat | 02:37 |
| Kr4t05 | profoX`: It's a gamepad. | 02:38 |
| === jared is now known as _Rukus | ||
| sMonk | ProfoX.. here is the new msg http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43367/ | 02:38 |
| _Rukus | hey | 02:38 |
| sMonk | oops | 02:38 |
| sMonk | hold on | 02:38 |
| _Rukus | no | 02:38 |
| _Rukus | it never worked | 02:38 |
| _Rukus | Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server | 02:39 |
| profoX` | sMonk: you might want to try to type the letter "w" and then Enter to try and fix the partition table | 02:39 |
| _Rukus | couple more errors, i'll paste if relevant | 02:39 |
| profoX` | sMonk: I'm not sure it'll work though | 02:39 |
| sMonk | hold on here you go http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43368/ | 02:39 |
| profoX` | _Rukus: I don't think they are relevant.. did you try 'fglrx' as a regular user? | 02:39 |
| Rukus | i terminaled as root | 02:40 |
| profoX` | Rukus: well, don't :) | 02:40 |
| profoX` | it's not needed | 02:40 |
| Kr4t05 | So, anyone got any clues? | 02:40 |
| Rukus | oh | 02:40 |
| Rukus | worked now | 02:40 |
| profoX` | (and you'd have to give root permission to access X with xhost if you really wanted it like that) | 02:40 |
| Rukus | came back with some info about opengl | 02:40 |
| profoX` | okay that sounds like it's good | 02:41 |
| Rukus | now... | 02:41 |
| Rukus | whats my next step in getting that compiz workin | 02:41 |
| profoX` | Rukus: then for now (for 6 months atleast, the next ubuntu version i would do it a different way :P) | 02:41 |
| profoX` | I'd install xserver-xgl | 02:41 |
| profoX` | you can via adept if you want, but | 02:41 |
| profoX` | a terminal types faster :) | 02:41 |
| juan | hi! does anyone know how to enable voice chat with kopete? | 02:42 |
| profoX` | sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-kde compizconfig-settings-manager | 02:42 |
| sMonk | ProfoX - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43368/ that's what I get when I try to fdisk sda | 02:43 |
| Rukus | ok thjanks dude | 02:43 |
| profoX` | sMonk: okay, just type "w" and enter | 02:43 |
| === jared_ is now known as _Ruks | ||
| === _Ruks is now known as Rukus_ | ||
| profoX` | sMonk: and then show me a new output of "sudo fdisk -l" again | 02:43 |
| Rukus_ | there | 02:43 |
| profoX` | Rukus, Rukus_: you're dubble? | 02:44 |
| profoX` | :P | 02:44 |
| Rukus | this is for me | 02:44 |
| Rukus | sorry | 02:44 |
| profoX` | double* | 02:44 |
| Rukus | sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-fusion-plugins-extra compiz-kde compizconfig-settings-manager | 02:44 |
| Rukus | get it over to my other pc | 02:44 |
| Rukus | lol | 02:44 |
| Rukus | copy/paste | 02:44 |
| profoX` | lol ok | 02:44 |
| Dry_Ice | does anyone know how to boot linux off an external drive for mac? | 02:44 |
| profoX` | yea that command should download and install the necessary stuff for compiz through Xgl | 02:44 |
| sMonk | ProfoX - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43369/ | 02:44 |
| toxop1asma | another question: it's pretty much universally agreed now that one should buy nvidia over ati for linux, right? | 02:44 |
| profoX` | toxop1asma: it wàs | 02:44 |
| profoX` | toxop1asma: right now I'm not sure what the future holds | 02:45 |
| Rukus_ | dubble? | 02:45 |
| Rukus_ | oh ahha | 02:45 |
| profoX` | since AMD took over ATI the fglrx driver has seen very good improvements | 02:45 |
| Rukus_ | its easier to copy and paste like i said | 02:45 |
| bazhang | Dry_Ice: try ubuntugeek dot com | 02:45 |
| Rukus_ | lol | 02:45 |
| profoX` | so I don't know :) I think AMD might become a good alternative to nvidia | 02:45 |
| Dry_Ice | bazhang: thanks | 02:45 |
| profoX` | AMD/ATI that is | 02:45 |
| toxop1asma | ahh. nothing is ever simple | 02:45 |
| profoX` | right now I'd say nvidia is still a better choice in most cases | 02:45 |
| profoX` | or intel if you don't need the fastest graphics | 02:45 |
| Rukus_ | i always paired nvidia with amd haha. when i saw amd with ati, i was like.. well.. heeeelllll | 02:46 |
| toxop1asma | the problem with intel is that i don't need a very fast cpu, either. and a new mobo/cpu/memory would cost quite a bit | 02:46 |
| Rukus_ | hell | 02:46 |
| Rukus_ | haha | 02:46 |
| sMonk | doesn't look like much changed profoX | 02:47 |
| Rukus | profoX` : NOW... is that all i need to do? is there more to this instal;lation? | 02:47 |
| Dry_Ice | bazhang: i finally got the .iso downloaded...and i can boot up from it...i installed it on my external...but i can't figure up how to boot the darned thing up... | 02:48 |
| profoX` | sMonk: no :( i'm not that good in fixing these things either, that was the only thing I could think of | 02:48 |
| doop | i have a 2 gig pen drive and it's formatted incorrectly. how do i use fdisk to format it correctly | 02:48 |
| jombee | what is the difference between the cd and dvd versions? | 02:48 |
| profoX` | Rukus: not really much more | 02:49 |
| Rukus_ | so now i just play? | 02:49 |
| Rukus_ | how do i enable it? | 02:49 |
| Dry_Ice | :S | 02:49 |
| jombee | doop just use mkfs.ext3 | 02:49 |
| Dry_Ice | i think i might give up on linux altogether... | 02:49 |
| profoX` | Rukus: if the installation completed, try to run "compiz --replace" (in the terminal to start, so you can see what goes wrong if it doesn't work) | 02:49 |
| doop | jombee: will that automatically do it? | 02:49 |
| sMonk | well, atleast you're tryin | 02:49 |
| jombee | well you need to add the device id, but yeah pretty much that's it | 02:49 |
| profoX` | and use compizconfig-settings-manager to configure compiz | 02:49 |
| Dry_Ice | does anyone know a mac nerd? | 02:49 |
| Dry_Ice | mac/linux nerd... | 02:50 |
| profoX` | i know one | 02:50 |
| Rukus_ | command not found | 02:50 |
| profoX` | well, two, but one of them is not really a nerd and just messes things up | 02:50 |
| profoX` | :P | 02:50 |
| doop | jombee: add the device id? | 02:50 |
| bazhang | Dry_Ice: I installed kubuntu to a powerbook, but that was with wiping the drive.. | 02:50 |
| profoX` | Rukus_: compiz --replace doesn't work? | 02:50 |
| Dry_Ice | darn bazhang... | 02:50 |
| jombee | doop something like /dev/sda1 | 02:50 |
| profoX` | Rukus_: theres a space between the z and the - | 02:50 |
| doop | oh no probs then | 02:50 |
| Rukus_ | yah just saw that | 02:50 |
| Dry_Ice | maybe i should make mac teh external... | 02:50 |
| jombee | but you probably don't want to use sda1 unless you really want to kill your system | 02:50 |
| Rukus_ | said xgl not found | 02:51 |
| Dry_Ice | and use the internal for linux | 02:51 |
| bazhang | Dry_Ice: boot camp | 02:51 |
| Rukus_ | blacklisted pciid found | 02:51 |
| profoX` | Rukus_: oh butyou just installed xgl so you'll need to do an X restart | 02:51 |
| profoX` | since Xgl starts its own X server on top | 02:51 |
| Dry_Ice | bazhang: no leopard :P | 02:51 |
| Rukus_ | how do i do that | 02:51 |
| profoX` | thats how Xgl works (a bit messy :)) | 02:51 |
| profoX` | Rukus_: the same as before.. close your open applications and ctrl+alt+backspace | 02:51 |
| Dry_Ice | bazhang: i never got the beta... | 02:51 |
| Rukus_ | oh | 02:51 |
| Rukus_ | i did something else last time | 02:51 |
| Rukus_ | tahts why | 02:51 |
| bazhang | Dry_Ice: also available for tiger | 02:51 |
| Rukus_ | ooops | 02:51 |
| Dry_Ice | bazhang: and now, all the downloads are gone, coz of leopard... | 02:51 |
| Rukus_ | i hope order of installation doesnt matter | 02:52 |
| Rukus_ | hehe | 02:52 |
| Rukus_ | ok brb | 02:52 |
| profoX` | if ctrl+alt+backspace doesn't work, then just try to type sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart :p | 02:52 |
| sMonk | Hey profox... | 02:52 |
| profoX` | sMonk: yea? | 02:52 |
| doop | jombee: i want the pen drive to have a format that windows can read too | 02:52 |
| Dry_Ice | bazhang: no boot camp for tiger anymore... | 02:52 |
| sMonk | I changed a boot flag on sda1 wrote to table and I got a diffrent output | 02:52 |
| sMonk | I'll post it.. see what you think | 02:53 |
| Rukus | ok | 02:53 |
| profoX` | sMonk: umm okay | 02:53 |
| Rukus | i lovew having 2 pc's | 02:53 |
| bazhang | hmm | 02:53 |
| Rukus | love* | 02:53 |
| jombee | doop: the command would be mkfs.vfat /dev/whatever | 02:53 |
| jombee | might have to look that up | 02:53 |
| doop | ah ok thx | 02:53 |
| sMonk | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43371/ | 02:53 |
| jombee | I'm not 100% on the command to make it windows readable | 02:53 |
| Dry_Ice | i'm not buying another computer just for linux... | 02:53 |
| Dry_Ice | btw...how do you flag a disk/partition as bootable? | 02:54 |
| profoX` | sMonk: it looks healthier.. | 02:54 |
| sMonk | yeah | 02:54 |
| bazhang | Dry_Ice: vmware fusion | 02:54 |
| profoX` | sMonk: can you try to mount that drive? | 02:54 |
| Dry_Ice | !vmware | 02:54 |
| ubotu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 02:54 |
| sMonk | I try.. but I get an error.. I'll post that .. hold on | 02:54 |
| Dry_Ice | that's how bazhang? | 02:54 |
| jombee | Dry_Ice you have to use fdisk or disk druid or some kind of partion tool | 02:54 |
| profoX` | sMonk: okay | 02:54 |
| Dry_Ice | installing linux is WAYYY more than i thought | 02:55 |
| Dry_Ice | sure, i knew it was for nerds... | 02:55 |
| profoX` | Dry_Ice: it all depends on your hardware my friend | 02:55 |
| profoX` | :) | 02:55 |
| Rukus | profoX` ITS SLOW lol | 02:55 |
| Rukus | works tho | 02:55 |
| peterbecker | does anyone know how to record a stream of a V4L2 device? | 02:55 |
| sMonk | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43372/ | 02:55 |
| bazhang | and your nerves :} | 02:55 |
| shinda | was wondering if anyone knew any alternative way to start the strigi dameon, right now when I go configure I get taken to the strigi konqueor page, and click start daemon but it doesn't seem to go anywhere so thought mayabe there was a cli method tried /etc/init.d/ but theres no strigi option | 02:55 |
| peterbecker | I have a UVC cam and it works in Ekiga, but it seems nowhere else | 02:55 |
| profoX` | Rukus: it's not supposed to work slow on radeon X200 :P | 02:55 |
| Dry_Ice | bazhang: i'm at my wits end... | 02:55 |
| Rukus | no? | 02:55 |
| peterbecker | xawtv dies on me with XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode | 02:55 |
| Rukus | its jittery | 02:56 |
| profoX` | peterbecker: thats probably because some cameras using the uvc driver only support v4l1 (or was it v4l2?) so only v4l1 (or v4l2?) applications can use the camera | 02:56 |
| bazhang | Dry_Ice: what's the rush? | 02:56 |
| profoX` | a bit stupid of course, but that's how it is | 02:56 |
| peterbecker | AFAIK UVC implies V4L2 and Ekiga seems to agree | 02:56 |
| peterbecker | Camorama seems to be V4L1 only | 02:56 |
| profoX` | sMonk: not sure what that means, a bit cryptic that error | 02:57 |
| sMonk | ok | 02:57 |
| profoX` | sMonk: did you try sudo mkdir /media/test; sudo mount -t ntfs3g /dev/sda1 /media/test | 02:57 |
| sMonk | no I didn't | 02:57 |
| sMonk | hold on | 02:57 |
| profoX` | because the old terminal way will probably be a bit better for debugging purposes | 02:58 |
| Dry_Ice_ | whoops... | 02:58 |
| sMonk | this sis what I get... mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs3g' | 02:58 |
| Dry_Ice_ | if someone said anything to me while i got disconnected, would they mind repeating it? | 02:58 |
| profoX` | sMonk: wait, are you running Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon? | 02:58 |
| sMonk | yeah | 02:59 |
| profoX` | well, thats strange | 02:59 |
| profoX` | ntfs3g should be integrated into gutsy | 02:59 |
| Dry_Ice_ | maybe i should ask sean... | 02:59 |
| sMonk | How do I check again.. just to make sure? | 02:59 |
| profoX` | hah | 03:00 |
| profoX` | I have that error too if I try it that way | 03:00 |
| profoX` | sMonk: okay, just use ntfs instead of ntfs3g | 03:00 |
| Dry_Ice_ | curses... | 03:00 |
| profoX` | i think it's a name change :) | 03:00 |
| profoX` | the ntfs3g driver has been integrated and is just referred to as 'ntfs' to keep it simple | 03:01 |
| sMonk | How do I check my version again.. just to make sure? | 03:01 |
| profoX` | sMonk: version of ? | 03:01 |
| profoX` | ubutu? | 03:01 |
| bazhang | Dry_Ice_: want to join #kubuntu-offtopic? | 03:01 |
| profoX` | kubuntu* | 03:01 |
| sMonk | kubuntu | 03:01 |
| Dry_Ice_ | bazhang: if i put linux on my main internal drive, and power up the computer...will it boot up to linux automatically? | 03:01 |
| profoX` | sMonk: rightclick the K icon, help - about kubuntu or something | 03:01 |
| profoX` | there's also a command :) | 03:01 |
| profoX` | try lsb_release -a | 03:02 |
| Rukus | ok i am not sure if this is working or not | 03:02 |
| sMonk | ok, the drive mounted | 03:02 |
| profoX` | Dry_Ice_: probably | 03:02 |
| profoX` | sMonk: hmm, can you access the files? | 03:03 |
| profoX` | sMonk: try something like "konqueror /media/test" to check if you can browse (see) the files on the drive | 03:03 |
| profoX` | (or do a quick: ls /media/test) | 03:03 |
| sMonk | Yeah, I can see them and access them | 03:04 |
| profoX` | sMonk: then atleast you'll be able to backup some stuff, but if you're lucky windows should be able to boot too | 03:04 |
| Dry_Ice_ | profoX`: u sure bout the linux on internal thing? | 03:04 |
| === me is now known as ero | ||
| ero | hi :) | 03:05 |
| profoX` | Dry_Ice_: well it depends on the hardware, but in most cases and if no special RAID configuration is used it should work | 03:05 |
| profoX` | Dry_Ice_: i have no experience with installation on macs though, so I don't know how that goes | 03:05 |
| sMonk | well, I can try, only problem being that there is no boot sector on that hd... and for some reason the vista dvd wont recignize the linux partition. | 03:05 |
| ero | i just installed kubuntu 64bit edition and hope to replace xp for good :) | 03:05 |
| ero | any professional blender users here? | 03:06 |
| profoX` | sMonk: do you boot from the MBR on the linux drive? | 03:06 |
| sMonk | yeah | 03:06 |
| profoX` | sMonk: and so grub gets loaded.. grub should be able to load vista, right? | 03:06 |
| sMonk | yeah.. but I don't know how to re-write grub too well | 03:07 |
| profoX` | ahh.. | 03:07 |
| juan | does anyone know where to get konference or which messenger programme allows voice chat? | 03:07 |
| sMonk | I have SOME code.. but i'm a bit rusty | 03:07 |
| sMonk | I haven't used linux "constantly" for about 7yrs now | 03:08 |
| profoX` | sMonk: well, I'm not sure how to handle 2 different drives, but I have some ideas.. | 03:08 |
| sMonk | I have been trapped by the Mega Dick corp MS | 03:08 |
| profoX` | but maybe you can make grub detect it | 03:08 |
| profoX` | by itself | 03:08 |
| sMonk | Sound good | 03:08 |
| profoX` | sMonk: hehe, microsoft is not all that bad | 03:08 |
| sMonk | I'm up for ideas and or suggestions | 03:08 |
| profoX` | their company policy is bad, their technology is a bit bloated, but all in all, they do have some good products | 03:09 |
| profoX` | personally i kinda miss microsoft office ;) | 03:09 |
| profoX` | openoffice.org doesn't cut it for me, although it's getting better | 03:09 |
| sMonk | lol, the onlything that's good in MS is the coders and programmers that linux could use.. lol | 03:09 |
| profoX` | nyea well.. :P | 03:09 |
| sMonk | :) | 03:09 |
| profoX` | so let me google for a sec | 03:10 |
| sMonk | well, how do I get grub to try to auto detect again.. I'm lookin too | 03:10 |
| AngryElf | isn't there a package I can remove that will remove KDE/Desktop and basically revert back to a "server" install? | 03:10 |
| Rukus | ok profoX` computer is now sluggish and i dont even know if the effects are wroking | 03:11 |
| profoX` | sMonk: yea i'm not sure if that's possible | 03:11 |
| toxop1asma | profoX`: you mentioned openarena. does anyone play q3a these days? there is never anything good in the public server list | 03:11 |
| profoX` | Rukus: oh, you don't see a shadow beneath your windows? | 03:11 |
| profoX` | toxop1asma: a friend and I play sometimes, but thats maybe a few times a month | 03:11 |
| leileilol | people play q3 and oa | 03:11 |
| morphinex | hey folks, I have this crazy problem: when I do ifup eth0 the screen on my laptop goes blank for a moment | 03:11 |
| Rukus | no | 03:11 |
| toxop1asma | profoX`: same here. that's probably how everyone does it | 03:12 |
| sMonk | profoX` no? | 03:12 |
| morphinex | also, possibly related, knetworkmanager doesn't do anything on my machine | 03:12 |
| Dry_Ice_ | !vmware | 03:12 |

| profoX` | sMonk: what no? | 03:13 |
| sMonk | Grub can't auto detect? | 03:14 |
| profoX` | oh I'm not sure | 03:14 |
| profoX` | :P | 03:14 |
| Tm_T | grub cant itsel | 03:14 |
| Tm_T | f | 03:14 |
| Rukus | profoX` i dont see anytrhing noticeably special | 03:14 |
| Rukus | anything* | 03:14 |
| profoX` | Tm_T: yea but there are tools for it | 03:14 |
| Tm_T | profoX`: and thats different | 03:14 |
| profoX` | Rukus: hmmm... you're probably best off removing xserver-xgl for now and continuing like normal | 03:15 |
| Rukus | yeah, and i noticied the k-menu got slower | 03:15 |
| Rukus | thats all | 03:15 |
| profoX` | Rukus: it's a bit hard to debug your problem | 03:15 |
| profoX` | from this distance | 03:15 |
| Rukus | come closer | 03:15 |
| profoX` | well | 03:15 |
| profoX` | if you live near belgium feel free to visit | 03:15 |
| profoX` | ;) | 03:15 |
| Rukus | lol canada | 03:16 |
| profoX` | ahh close enough | 03:16 |
| profoX` | :P | 03:16 |
| toxop1asma | profoX`: let me guess. you're Flemish? | 03:16 |
| Rukus | my god | 03:17 |
| Rukus | computer is running sooo sluggish | 03:17 |
| profoX` | toxop1asma: yes | 03:17 |
| Rukus | takes forever to do anything | 03:17 |
| sMonk | Ok, if someone can help me out.. I am trying to get Vista to boot using GRUB.. this is what I have in my Menu.lst http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43375/ I have vist on /dev/sda1 and linux on /dev/hda | 03:17 |
| profoX` | toxop1asma: how'd you guess | 03:17 |
| sMonk | any ideas on a fix? | 03:18 |
| toxop1asma | profoX`: i hear the Flemish are pretty quick, and speak good english :) | 03:18 |
| profoX` | haha | 03:18 |
| profoX` | that's us | 03:18 |
| profoX` | :P | 03:18 |
| profoX` | lol | 03:18 |
| profoX` | where did you hear that? | 03:18 |
| profoX` | from some flemish guy | 03:19 |
| profoX` | ;) | 03:19 |
| toxop1asma | maybe--but i no longer remember that | 03:19 |

| Rukus | hwo do i uninstall xserver-xgl from terminal | 03:20 |
| sMonk | does anyone here know GRUB well? | 03:20 |
| Tm_T | !apt-get | Rukus | 03:20 |
| ubotu | Rukus: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) | 03:20 |

| profoX` | sMonk: maybe try add these to menu.lst http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43376/plain/ | 03:21 |
| profoX` | sMonk: and reboot and see if one of em works :P | 03:21 |
| sMonk | Tm_T quite the oppisite.. I'm trying to get Vista back after installing Kubuntu | 03:21 |
| profoX` | Rukus: sudo apt-get remove xserver-xgl | 03:21 |
| profoX` | oh | 03:21 |
| profoX` | remove the savedefault | 03:21 |
| profoX` | and makeactives | 03:21 |
| profoX` | :P | 03:21 |
| profoX` | only one entry can have that | 03:22 |
| sMonk | ok | 03:22 |
| Rukus | ok gotta go | 03:22 |
| Rukus | thanks! | 03:22 |
| Dry_Ice_ | bye :) | 03:23 |
| sMonk | profoX` do I leave in ANY of the save and make? | 03:23 |
| profoX` | later Rukus, maybe we can fix it some other time | 03:23 |
| Rukus | yah | 03:23 |
| profoX` | sMonk: wait | 03:23 |
| Rukus | wait | 03:23 |
| Rukus | remove savedefualts? | 03:23 |
| sMonk | ok | 03:23 |
| Rukus | maekactive? | 03:23 |
| Rukus | was that for me | 03:23 |
| profoX` | no | 03:23 |
| profoX` | sMonk: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43379/plain/ just try it like that then | 03:23 |
| Rukus | opk cya | 03:24 |
| Rukus | :) | 03:24 |
| profoX` | makeactive/savedefault just lets grub know which entry to start up by default, its not really necessary, not for testing anyway | 03:24 |
| profoX` | later Rukus | 03:24 |
| sMonk | ok... wish me luck | 03:24 |
| sMonk | thanks ProfoX` | 03:24 |
| profoX` | well good luck | 03:24 |
| sMonk | OK | 03:27 |
| sMonk | not good | 03:27 |
| sMonk | lol | 03:27 |
| sMonk | Both try 1 and 3 give me an error 13.... try 2 and 4 give me Booting... Bootmgr is missing press ctr+alt+del | 03:28 |
| profoX` | ah | 03:30 |
| sMonk | so now i'm back to the beginning | 03:30 |
| profoX` | at least your partition table is more healthy already | 03:31 |
| profoX` | so you should be able to mount the drive fine in linux and backup data for one.. but fixing it to boot will probably also work | 03:32 |
| profoX` | but I have no vista install to do some tests | 03:32 |
| sMonk | lol, sure ya do... me lol | 03:32 |
| Dry_Ice_ | !wpa | 03:32 |

| ToddEDM | could someone hlp me with K3b... how do i ake a DVD that i can watch on my TV.....the video file i have is .mkv | 03:33 |
| bazhang | ToddEDM: vlc should play it | 03:33 |
| sMonk | how can I set up that drive to auto mount to /media/vista? | 03:34 |
| bazhang | oo make--avidemux? | 03:34 |
| profoX` | sMonk: i think you can edit /etc/fstab for that, but maybe stuff like that should be easier in recent ubuntu versions | 03:34 |
| === Dry_Ice_ is now known as Semi_AFK | ||
| ToddEDM | bazhang: i dont want to play it , i want to burn it to DVD | 03:35 |
| sMonk | I thought I had the latest | 03:35 |
| morphinex | sMonk: I think there is an ntfs configuration tool | 03:35 |
| bazhang | right avidemux | 03:35 |
| morphinex | sMonk: I believe its name is... ntfs configuration tool ;) | 03:35 |
| === Semi_AFK is now known as Query_If_Needed | ||
| sMonk | LOL | 03:36 |
| sMonk | damn, slow down.. I gotta copy this stuff | 03:36 |
| Query_If_Needed | :D | 03:36 |
| morphinex | ok | 03:36 |
| profoX` | sMonk: maybe try "sudo grub-install /dev/sdb" | 03:36 |
| _Angelus_ | man | 03:36 |
| _Angelus_ | somebody explains me why | 03:36 |
| _Angelus_ | the embeded video player doesn work | 03:36 |
| _Angelus_ | of konqueror | 03:37 |
| _Angelus_ | when i try to play mms:// | 03:37 |
| sMonk | what will that do? | 03:37 |
| profoX` | sMonk: I think that will reinstall grub and place the MBR on /dev/sdb (where it should be now) and hopefully adds the right entry for vista itself | 03:37 |
| sMonk | Oh | 03:37 |
| sMonk | ok\ | 03:37 |
| morphinex | sMonk: here is how you can launch it: type kdesu ntfs-config | 03:37 |
| morphinex | sMonk: type that in the console | 03:37 |
| sMonk | any way I can check to see what it may have done or not done? | 03:37 |
| profoX` | sMonk: it should have changed the /boot/grub/menu.lst | 03:38 |
| profoX` | and it should have reinstalled itself in the MBR, hopefully not causing problems :) | 03:38 |
| sMonk | ok | 03:39 |
| profoX` | sMonk: I gotta go though, so.. if you're going to test this real quick, i'll wait a while | 03:39 |
| pramod | cd.. is not working in my konsole | 03:39 |
| pramod | help me quick pleaseee.... | 03:39 |
| sMonk | ok here is what I got /dev/sdb: Not found or not a block device. | 03:39 |
| profoX` | pramod: which error? and there should be a space between cd and the dots "cd .." | 03:39 |
| pramod | it tells me command not found... | 03:39 |
| pramod | really?? | 03:40 |
| pramod | okie | 03:40 |
| pramod | thanxxx | 03:40 |
| profoX` | sMonk: umm? waht was sudo fdisk -l again? | 03:40 |
| pramod | yeah i got it... | 03:40 |
| pramod | i did not use the space lol | 03:40 |
| profoX` | sMonk: oh it hsoul dbe hdb | 03:40 |
| profoX` | sMonk: hdb instead of sdb | 03:40 |
| sMonk | ok | 03:40 |
| sMonk | what is that copy / paste link again? | 03:41 |
| profoX` | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org | 03:41 |
| sMonk | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43381/ | 03:42 |
| pramod | how do i execute a compiled cpp file in konsole??? | 03:42 |
| profoX` | pramod: ./binary-file | 03:42 |
| profoX` | pramod: or what do you mean | 03:42 |
| pramod | okie thanx again bro | 03:42 |
| pramod | yeah i think that's it... | 03:42 |
| profoX` | no problem | 03:43 |
| sMonk | ok pro | 03:43 |
| sMonk | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43381/ | 03:43 |
| sMonk | that's what I get | 03:43 |
| profoX` | sMonk: can you check /boot/grub/menu.lst ? | 03:43 |
| sMonk | my menu.lst looks no diffrent | 03:44 |
| profoX` | ah crap | 03:44 |
| sMonk | lol.. that's my thought exactly | 03:44 |
| morphinex | oh, the many joys of grub | 03:45 |
| sMonk | but if vista's MBR is gone.. due to kubuntu... is this writing it so it will try to work.. or am I missing something | 03:45 |
| bazhang | doubt its kubuntu's fault | 03:45 |
| sMonk | lol... ok possible user oversight? | 03:46 |
| profoX` | sMonk: MBR just tells which boot stuff to run, it points to GRUB now and GRUB should be able to load the vista bootloader like that if i'm not mistaken | 03:46 |
| bazhang | vista defective by design :} | 03:46 |
| sMonk | OK.. that's what I thought.. but I wasn't sure ... I've been hearing that vista does some really dumb stuff | 03:47 |
| morphinex | grub is sucky by design, I have spent many nights fighting with it | 03:47 |
| Query_If_Needed | if i wipe the drive, and install kubuntu...i don't need grub, do i? | 03:47 |
| morphinex | until I finally submitted to its twisted logic | 03:47 |
| profoX` | sMonk: yea i'm not sure about vista, i only know what i read from google about that | 03:47 |
| Query_If_Needed | !vista | 03:47 |
| sMonk | if vista is on the SATA drive... should I not be writing the boot record sda0 not hda0??? | 03:48 |
| Query_If_Needed | !vista | 03:48 |
| profoX` | Query_If_Needed: well, you do need a bootloader, even if it just loads 1 operating system | 03:48 |
| ubotu | vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org | 03:48 |
| Query_If_Needed | profoX`: so, i do need grub then? | 03:48 |
| sMonk | or is it still hda? | 03:48 |
| profoX` | Query_If_Needed: yea, but Kubuntu installs that automatically | 03:48 |
| profoX` | sMonk: which boot record? | 03:49 |
| Query_If_Needed | kk | 03:49 |
| Query_If_Needed | thankx | 03:49 |
| sMonk | ok, | 03:49 |
| profoX` | sMonk: GRUB always refers to drives with hd | 03:49 |
| profoX` | no matter if it's ide or sata | 03:49 |
| profoX` | sMonk: "sudo update-grub" probably doesn't help you either? | 03:50 |
| sMonk | I'll try | 03:50 |
| profoX` | it probably only detects the linux partition | 03:50 |
| Query_If_Needed | !windows | 03:50 |
| ubotu | For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents | 03:50 |
| morphinex | doesn't vista demand to be on the first partition of the first disk or something? | 03:50 |
| profoX` | sMonk: anyway, it is very late here, so i'm going to go to bed now.. too bad we couldn't fix it right now | 03:50 |
| _Angelus_ | lol!!!!!!! @ mental institute | 03:50 |
| _Angelus_ | haha | 03:50 |
| profoX` | but well.. i'm pretty sure it can be fixed one way or the other | 03:51 |
| profoX` | i'll talk to you some other time though | 03:51 |
| Query_If_Needed | :D | 03:51 |
| profoX` | i really gotta go :p | 03:51 |
| profoX` | i have to sleep and get up in 3 hours | 03:51 |
| profoX` | later | 03:51 |
| sMonk | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43382/ that is what I get | 03:51 |
| Query_If_Needed | kk | 03:51 |
| Query_If_Needed | l8er | 03:51 |
| sMonk | yeah, I know your pain.. so I do I.. *uhh* stupid vista | 03:52 |
| profoX` | sMonk: nope, i dont think it finds vista like that.. | 03:52 |
| Query_If_Needed | !vista | 03:52 |
| profoX` | well, tomorrow i might be able to think of some other stuff | 03:52 |
| ubotu | vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org | 03:52 |
| profoX` | right now i need my bed | 03:52 |
| profoX` | sory | 03:52 |
| profoX` | sorry* | 03:52 |
| Query_If_Needed | i live near redmond :D | 03:52 |
| profoX` | bye | 03:52 |
| sMonk | no prob.. thanks any way.. later | 03:52 |
| * profoX` is away | 03:52 | |
| MagicCow | Wow, Kubuntu > PCLOS | 03:53 |
| Query_If_Needed | lol | 03:53 |
| bazhang | indeed | 03:53 |
| MagicCow | I was NOT happy with that experience. | 03:53 |
| Query_If_Needed | :D | 03:53 |
| underdog5004 | pclos is too long to say easily, imho | 03:55 |
| MagicCow | The whole thing is a sham. | 04:02 |
| MagicCow | The install process.. well, when trying to run the livecd, my computer would just restart. | 04:02 |
| MagicCow | It was ridiculous for me.. I guess some people had an easier time. | 04:03 |
| bazhang | it works for some | 04:04 |
| MagicCow | Ae. | 04:04 |
| MagicCow | aye. | 04:04 |
| bazhang | but Kubuntu is the superior system--no doubt | 04:04 |
| _Angelus_ | kubuntu pwnz j00 | 04:04 |
| bazhang | and a much nicer community | 04:05 |
| MagicCow | I'm glad I tried PCLOS, I feel now that I have a kinship with Kubuntu. | 04:05 |
| bazhang | but this is way #offtopic | 04:05 |
| MagicCow | It's the place I come back to. | 04:05 |
| MagicCow | Aye. | 04:05 |
| underdog5004 | it's good to try a bunch of distros, for sure. | 04:05 |

| rakan | hi. i used to have fat32 drive that i converted to ntfs after installing kubuntu> i noticed that it is automatically mounted. is there a way to add the mount command to start up? | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | the fstab defines what gets mounted at boot up | 04:10 |
| Dr_Willis | You can easially add an entry in there :) | 04:10 |
| rakan | is that a console command or gui? | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | BUT you made a typo i think.. you mean to say its NOT automaticially mounted. correct? | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | !fstab | 04:11 |
| ubotu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 04:11 |
| juan | does anyone know where kubuntu places the kdmthemes? | 04:11 |
| nonewmsgs | dr_willis you're here giving good advice 24/7? | 04:11 |
| rakan | yea not auto | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | nonewmsgs it seems like it. :) | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | 25/7 today.. the times changed | 04:11 |
| nonewmsgs | well as one of the people you've helped, thank you :) | 04:11 |
| bazhang | how was your drive Dr_Willis? | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | nonewmsgs - and given the # of peopl;e ive just made mad... heh heh | 04:11 |
| Dr_Willis | bazhang my back is killing me.. but the van at least has NICE seats... | 04:12 |
| bazhang | :} | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | I will say that I do like the RIde of my Chrysler Minivan.. everyond go buy one.! or a dodge van. :) | 04:12 |
| * Dr_Willis dosent mention that he works for Chrysler. | 04:12 | |
| Dr_Willis | Actually I got a Friends and Faimly Discount also If anyone wants one.. Heh heh. | 04:13 |
| bazhang | but does it run linux | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | The new Multi-Media thang in the high end vehicles.. - Not sure what OS it runs... | 04:13 |

| hydrogen | g++ file.cpp -o programname | 04:16 |
| rakan | in fstab there is something called uid that the page u gave me doesnt say anything about | 04:16 |
| hydrogen | user id | 04:16 |
| hydrogen | its the numeric representation of the user | 04:17 |
| rakan | its a hash :S | 04:17 |
| pramod | well this part i know it... | 04:17 |
| pramod | but the output itself? | 04:17 |
| Dr_Willis | uid is not always needed. theres several ways to mount/set the options for a vfat filesystem | 04:17 |
| Dr_Willis | do you just hafve the 1 user on the system? want any others to access the windows drive? | 04:17 |
| pramod | that is everything that is output in the screen with the compilation errors and all i want to record it in a file... | 04:18 |

| Dr_Willis | rakan you aibnt confusing the UUID with the 'UID' are you? | 04:19 |
| Dr_Willis | For example, if you want everybody to be able to read, write, and execute every file in your /mnt/c, you should specify the mask 0000: | 04:19 |

| Merritt | Hi guys. Having an odd problem here: Went into "Manual Configuration" for Knetworkmanager, to try and set my ip as static instead of DHCP. Not it won't seem to use either my wireless card or my Ethernet, it won't detect wireless networks and will not connect in any fashion. I ditched the static IP idea, put it back on DHCP, but it is still as if the nics are not loading at all. Any ideas? Had to boot into windows just to get on here. | 05:11 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Merritt: in linux, sudo kate /etc/network/interfaces | 05:13 |
| Jucato | !kdesu | 05:14 |
| ubotu | In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 05:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | Jucato: whoops | 05:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | okay, kdesu kate /etc/network/interfaces | 05:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | remove the information pertaining to the network devices you want handled by knetworkmanager | 05:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | (eth0 and whatever your wireless is) | 05:14 |
| Daisuke_Ido | leave lo in there | 05:15 |

| positrix | it should be pretty easy | 05:49 |
| Jucato | posingaspopular: yes, but you have to enter the exact path to the doc, starting from $HOME | 05:49 |

| psycholic | i tryed to ping it but it won't work | 06:39 |
| psycholic | is there any other firewall i should check | 06:39 |
| positrix | jHoNDoE: text replace "feisty" with "gutsy" in your /etc/apt/sources.list, the sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 06:39 |
| positrix | jHoNDoE: but you might be better off using a CD | 06:39 |
| positrix | jHoNDoE: It depends on how you have things organised. | 06:40 |
| ardchoille | positrix: That method of upgrading is not recommended | 06:40 |
| psycholic | might just reintall because the sound don't work ether | 06:40 |
| positrix | ardchoille: Why not? | 06:41 |
| jHoNDoE | positrix I'll try thanks | 06:41 |
| ardchoille | positrix: for one thing, that method won't get you any new apps that are in gutsy that weren't in feisty, it'll just upgrade what you already have. | 06:41 |

| tuxwulf | Does gkrellm work on kubuntu ...? | 07:50 |
| furio84 | I never tried it but i think it will work. But if you want a system monitor maybe you wil find some superkaramba applets more intresting | 07:53 |
| tuxwulf | ..I'll look into that, thanks... SuperKaramba | 07:55 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | my screensaver activates, about 1/2 hour later, I try to use the computer and xorg is taking about 92% of processor and it never responds. I always end up killing the X server and restarting kdm. What could be the problem? | 08:01 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | wow, it's very quiet here. | 08:05 |
| sd32 | its late in the US | 08:06 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I know. That is the problem with working over night. | 08:06 |
| sd32 | lol | 08:06 |
| sd32 | graveyard shift? | 08:06 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | yep. | 08:07 |
| furio84 | I had the same problem yesterday... solutions??? | 08:10 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | furio, what problems? | 08:11 |
| kraut | moin | 08:11 |
| furio84 | the same as you... Coming back from screensaver takes a lot of resources... But after half an hour i managed to close applications and shutdown... | 08:14 |
| jastengel | Hello | 08:14 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I have been trying to find an answer to this... | 08:16 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | what hardware do you have? | 08:16 |
| jastengel | I am kind of stuck. I am a novice linux user, and my Kubuntu box just did something "bad" | 08:16 |
| jastengel | when I loaded my package manager, and checked for updates... it told me to update to Feisty Fawn.... | 08:17 |
| jastengel | it did its thing... and now it wont boot. | 08:17 |
| furio84 | Acer Aspire 5100, amd turion 64x2, 1600Mhz, Ati Radeon xpress1100 with closed source drivers installed (but no compiz activated)... | 08:17 |
| furio84 | ...even I was looking for an answer... | 08:18 |
| furio84 | Maybe the problem is related to graphical hardware. I had a lot of problems with ati adapters... | 08:20 |
| jastengel | it goes through the grub screens.... then it goes to the kubuntu screen with the progress bar, which doesnt progress.... then it goes to a text prompt that says: | 08:21 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I think so, but I didn't see this problem with gentoo or Mepis when I had it installed a few months back. | 08:21 |
| furio84 | Maybe you were using a different version of drivers, kernel and Xorg. And it's not a secret that kubuntu is very far from perfection. It seems like developers give much more attention to ubuntu, that works much better. | 08:22 |
| jastengel | busybox v1.1.3 (debian 1:1.1.3ubuntu3) built-in shell (ash) enter help for a list of commands.... | 08:24 |
| jastengel | can anybody help me? I am soo lost. | 08:24 |
| sd32 | we wont know until you ask | 08:26 |
| furio84 | Sorry jastengel, i wasn't talkin about your problem but mine. If you cannot boot i suggest, first of all, to try to boot in failsafe mode. Once the machine is up and running (and you will see only a text prompt anding with a #)... | 08:26 |
| alexander | ru | 08:26 |
| alexander | how to go to russian chat ? | 08:26 |

| ubotu | alexander: Пожалуйста войдите в #ubuntu-ru для помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta vojdite v #ubuntu-ru dlq pomoshchi na russkom qzyke | 08:26 |
| alexander | #ru-ubuntu | 08:26 |
| furio84 | ... type apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get -f install && depmod -a | 08:26 |
| alexander | thankz | 08:26 |
| furio84 | exactly as i wrote you | 08:27 |
| jastengel | how do I get to the failsafe mode? | 08:27 |
| jastengel | (OMG I feel so stupid...) | 08:28 |
| sd32 | recovery mode? | 08:28 |
| furio84 | Don't worry... There must be a failsafe kernel in grub menu, at least i think. It will lead you to a root terminal, loading just the essential. So, assuming your network will work, my suggestions might help. | 08:29 |
| furio84 | Yes, recovery mode, sorry... | 08:30 |
| furio84 | "apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get -f install && depmod -a" | 08:30 |
| sd32 | hit escape during grub menu then select the recovery mode | 08:31 |
| jastengel | aah... in the grub process, it said hit escape (gave me 2 seconds) I did, and I have 8 choices, 2.6.20-16-generic (recovery mode) is the second one... is that what I want? | 08:31 |
| sd32 | yes | 08:31 |
| jastengel | tnx :) its doing --something-- | 08:32 |
| sd32 | yw | 08:32 |
| furio84 | Yes, the second one. Remember that the kernel version has to be the same as the first option in the list | 08:32 |
| jastengel | it was :) | 08:32 |
| CyberFlux | whats the channel i need for gaming tips in kubuntu? | 08:32 |
| furio84 | ... | 08:32 |

| noaxess_kubuntu | hey.. | 08:33 |
| sd32 | :) | 08:33 |
| jastengel | lol | 08:33 |
| noaxess_kubuntu | how can is see, what ubuntu i have.. 7.04 or 7.10? | 08:33 |
| furio84 | What appened | 08:33 |
| furio84 | ??? | 08:33 |
| jastengel | its initializing stuff | 08:33 |
| furio84 | A lot of strange things, right? | 08:34 |
| jastengel | yea... working on hard drives now... | 08:34 |
| jastengel | scsi1 | 08:34 |
| furio84 | Before doing as I told you before, try to write: ping www.google.com to verify network functionality... | 08:35 |
| jastengel | kk | 08:35 |
| furio84 | The fact that It's working on something is good. Better than nothing... | 08:35 |
| sd32 | phew!! | 08:36 |
| furio84 | Wait a minute, i'm going to have a coffee! | 08:36 |
| jastengel | it says it cant access tty; job controll turned off | 08:36 |
| sd32 | DOH!! | 08:36 |
| === jay is now known as Mizral | ||
| jastengel | ping not found | 08:36 |
| sd32 | sorry caps | 08:37 |
| jastengel | totally screwed eh? | 08:37 |
| sd32 | to tell you the truth, i realy dont know:( | 08:37 |
| WaltzingAlong | noaxess_kubuntu: cat /etc/lsb-release | 08:37 |
| sd32 | google it! | 08:38 |
| jastengel | :/ so how hard is it to mount a drive in another computer to recover critical work data? | 08:39 |
| jastengel | all that email... | 08:39 |
| jastengel | ... | 08:39 |
| jastengel | (gotta laugh at my self I guess) | 08:39 |
| furio84 | wait a minurte before give up... | 08:40 |
| jastengel | kk of course furio... knew you were getting your java | 08:42 |
| furio84 | Despite ping wasn't found (!!!) try with this: apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get -f install && depmod -a | 08:42 |
| furio84 | If apt-get doesn't work because your network is off, maybe depmod -a can solve the problem. If it doesn't, i ask you to boot normally and tell me what kubuntu tells you when boot freezes | 08:44 |
| jastengel | returns "/bib/sh: apt-get: not found" | 08:44 |
| furio84 | Excuse. First of all, type "/bin/bash" without " | 08:45 |
| furio84 | Then try again ping, apt-get and depmod | 08:45 |
| jastengel | hey... could I be in a ramdrive? bub doesnt have a bash in it | 08:46 |
| jastengel | *bin | 08:47 |
| jastengel | my prompt is "(initramfs) | 08:47 |
| jastengel | " | 08:47 |
| furio84 | oh my god... | 08:47 |
| jastengel | it didnt say that until I did cd /bin | 08:48 |
| furio84 | Are you in /bin?!? | 08:48 |
| jastengel | I am now | 08:48 |
| furio84 | So type "bash" | 08:49 |
| jastengel | bash: not found | 08:49 |
| furio84 | This may be a real problem... Try with depmod -a, then, and if it does'nt work reboot in "normal mode". | 08:49 |
| jastengel | I typed depmod -a and it didnt give me an error message... but it didnt "do" anything either | 08:50 |
| jastengel | it just went to a fresh line with a command prompt | 08:51 |
| furio84 | That's ok. Maybe it is enough... In my experience depmod -a (without any other option) doesn't give any output different from a fresh line. | 08:51 |
| furio84 | So, maybe if you reboot and wait evrything is gone in it's right place.... Or maybe not. | 08:52 |
| furio84 | Is there any strange reason why you speek italian? | 08:53 |
| Jasen | whoops... I missed that.... I closed my IRC client by accident | 08:53 |
| Jasen | and it changed my nick | 08:54 |
| WaltzingAlong | because i was in italy this past weekend? | 08:54 |
| furio84 | So after a weekend you leaned italian??? | 08:55 |
| furio84 | Where exactly was you? | 08:55 |
| furio84 | jastengel... how is it going? | 08:55 |
| Jasen | (jastengel) sry my nick changed, I accidentially closed the IRC client | 08:56 |
| furio84 | Ok ok... and you don't speek italian, i presume... | 08:56 |
| furio84 | Tried with a reboot in normal mode??? | 08:56 |
| WaltzingAlong | something like that | 08:56 |
| Jasen | not yet... doing it | 08:56 |
| Jasen | should I interupt the grub with escape again and select the first option? | 08:57 |
| furio84 | No, it will use it automatically | 08:57 |
| Jasen | kk | 08:57 |
| furio84 | Just wait until it freezes, if it does, and tell me what output you have | 08:58 |
| Jasen | thank you for your patience and assistance :) | 08:58 |
| furio84 | So, WaltzingAlong, where exactly have you been during your italian weekend | 08:58 |
| furio84 | ? | 08:58 |
| WaltzingAlong | close to venice | 08:59 |
| furio84 | Oh, i love venice. | 08:59 |
| sd32 | its sinking | 09:00 |
| sd32 | :( | 09:01 |
| WaltzingAlong | did not have time this trip to visit venice | 09:02 |
| furio84 | i think that some day a kind of "venice magic" will save the whole place from sinking... You didn't have time? I'm sorry... | 09:02 |
| Jasen | it went to the kubuntu load screen with the progress bar and the three gears, then black screen with flashing underline top left corner, then.... | 09:02 |
| furio84 | then... | 09:02 |
| furio84 | suspence... | 09:03 |
| Jasen | BusyBox v1.1.3 (debian 1:1.1.3ubuntu3) Built-in shell (ash) enter ' | 09:03 |
| sd32 | drum rool | 09:03 |
| Jasen | help ' for a list of built in commands. | 09:03 |
| WaltzingAlong | no problem; stop in next time i am there, in december | 09:04 |
| Jasen | "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off " | 09:04 |
| naught101 | does anyone know the command that's called by kmenu>logout>hibernate? | 09:04 |
| Jasen | (initramfs) | 09:04 |
| Jasen | then a cursur | 09:05 |
| furio84 | I don't think that "help" will really help you. At this point you have to consider a fresh installation. The good notice is that you have some posibility to save your data without backing up, the bad one is that if you want to back up it won't be possible without a "linux friend", because linux file system isn't read by windows and other os... | 09:06 |
| WaltzingAlong | !ext3 | 09:06 |
| ubotu | ext3 is the default filesystem on Ubuntu, and the most popular on Linux. You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org | 09:06 |
| Jasen | so... if I pop in a fresh hdd... I can install the OS, then mount this hdd and get my data? | 09:07 |
| Jasen | I just happen to have a fresh hdd.... | 09:07 |
| furio84 | I'm really happy you have the possibility to travel so much, WA. Jasen, of course you can, assuming that you know how to do that, because i can't help you | 09:08 |
| WaltzingAlong | just a few hours in the car | 09:08 |
| Jasen | well... I dont know how to do the software part... but a friend might... the hardware part is easy | 09:08 |
| WaltzingAlong | but yes true wonderful to have the opportunity | 09:08 |
| furio84 | Where are you from, WA? | 09:08 |
| Jasen | :) thanks for your help... | 09:09 |
| WaltzingAlong | furio84: the usa | 09:09 |
| furio84 | My help wasn't so useful... :( | 09:09 |
| WaltzingAlong | furio84: in germany now | 09:10 |
| Jasen | at least you tried :) now I just gotta find my buddies phone number... its in email on that computer... he is my linux connection lol | 09:10 |
| Jasen | AND I have to learn how to back up my emails | 09:10 |
| furio84 | The only thing I can say is: don't give up with linux, because with a little experience evrything will go exactly as you want it to... For the software part i can help, hardware is the real problem. But if you are able to put in your new hard drive, simply install kubuntu (or, better for a novice, ubuntu) and you will find your data in /home/<username> folder of your old hard disk. | 09:12 |
| furio84 | Remember that configs and private data such as e-mails are often stored in hidden directories, that in linux are normal directories preceded by a dot (so /home/<username>./kde/share/apps ecc...) | 09:13 |
| Jasen | :) I use to be a hardware tech.... but only really worked with microsoft "products" | 09:14 |
| Jasen | now I make furniture... | 09:14 |
| ubuntu_ | hello all | 09:14 |
| furio84 | So, WA, you'r from USA, but now you live in Germany??? | 09:14 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as preston | ||
| === preston is now known as presto101 | ||
| WaltzingAlong | furio84: yes | 09:15 |
| furio84 | Cool... A real traveller | 09:15 |
| WaltzingAlong | furio84: and you? | 09:16 |
| === presto101 is now known as preston | ||
| furio84 | So, jasen, if you are able to install ubuntu or kubuntu, you can manage the disaster, but be careful not to format your old HD, that i think will be recognized as sdb or sdc. | 09:16 |
| preston | ive got a few questions if someones got a sec | 09:16 |
| furio84 | I live in Italy, always lived here | 09:16 |
| furio84 | Your old hard drive will be recognized and mounted automatically from your new linux installation | 09:17 |
| furio84 | Sorry, but now i have to go... Fitness is calling me... Have an appointment with my personal trainer... See you again | 09:18 |
| furio84 | Bye | 09:18 |
| preston | adios | 09:18 |
| Jasen | thanks again | 09:18 |
| sd32 | Jasen, for future reference use both on-line "and" off-line backup for important data | 09:18 |
| preston | is kcontrol gone guys | 09:18 |
| WaltzingAlong | preston: no. alt+f2 kcontrol | 09:19 |
| preston | im a new kubuntu user and linux user for that matter ive been trying to find my distro | 09:19 |
| preston | i like kde over gnome i know that much | 09:19 |
| Jasen | lol.... of course... I just hadnt gotten around to learning --how-- to back up my files yet... my windows box is backed up periodically to dvds | 09:20 |
| WaltzingAlong | !backup | 09:20 |
| ubotu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 09:20 |
| Jasen | apparently that is a common question :) | 09:21 |
| preston | how strong of a kde desktop is kubuntu | 09:21 |
| progress0r | need help, ive battled compiz a hundred times and by God, I still cannot get it to work in gutsy with my ati radeon card. Currently I have followed one of the tutorials and now I cant login to kde, it just sits there with the background and the cursor and nothing else. Anyone have any idea? | 09:21 |
| sd32 | but nobody does it , including me | 09:21 |
| WaltzingAlong | fglrx ati howto wiki http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide | progress0r | 09:21 |
| WaltzingAlong | Kubuntu Gutsy is not shipping with compiz-fusion installed (or enabled). It can still be installed though. Follow the instructions for gutsy at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion . for more, ask in #compiz-fusion & see http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/ | progress0r (also check the wiki) | 09:21 |
| progress0r | WaltzingAlong: thanks, does it work with kde and kdm or should i be use gdm? | 09:22 |
| WaltzingAlong | progress0r: yes compiz works with kde (and in combination with ati) | 09:22 |
| progress0r | WaltzingAlong: ive followed at least 5 different tutorials whats one more ;) thanks | 09:23 |
| WaltzingAlong | progress0r: you may wish to reconfigure your xserver sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 09:23 |
| preston | is there a way to add a area to the kmenu for most popular apps | 09:23 |
| progress0r | WaltzingAlong: after installing everything (xserver-xgl) | 09:23 |
| preston | and forgive me if my previous question was a bit stupid | 09:23 |
| WaltzingAlong | preston: yes you could have it show the most recently or most frequently used apps | 09:24 |
| WaltzingAlong | preston: find the panel editor where you can manage the menu, the option is there (you could find it through kconrol) | 09:24 |
| WaltzingAlong | progress0r: i am not much of a fan of xserver-xgl and apparently using the most recent fglrx module/driver from ati/amd, then xserver-xgl is no longer needed | 09:26 |
| sd32 | <man I cant wait to get more memory in my system tomorrow!! | 09:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | sd32: what is the amount in your system now? | 09:26 |
| progress0r | WaltzingAlong: maybe thats my problem thanks | 09:26 |
| sd32 | WaltzingAlong: 128 meg | 09:27 |
| WaltzingAlong | sd32: and after tomorrow? | 09:27 |
| sd32 | 512 | 09:27 |
| WaltzingAlong | sd32: nice | 09:27 |
| sd32 | and a new ggraphics card | 09:27 |
| darlos_ | dosen't work | 09:28 |
| darlos_ | can soe | 09:29 |
| sd32 | old card | 09:29 |
| progress0r | WaltzingAlong: do you have xserver-xgl installed? I just removed it but it looks like it removed the libglitz stuff. other than i did follow that tutorial and when i do compiz --replace i get a No whitelisted driver found for XGL. | 09:31 |
| WaltzingAlong | progress0r: no i do not have xserver-xgl installed. | 09:37 |
| progress0r | WaltzingAlong: ok troubleshooting this thing. thanks | 09:38 |
| WaltzingAlong | progress0r: (this laptop has an nvidia card) | 09:38 |
| WaltzingAlong | progress0r: did you see the section about adding the 'fglrx' module to the list of whitelisted modules? | 09:38 |
| jstengel | hey sd... is 7.10 stable? | 09:39 |
| * jstengel slaps Jasen around a bit with a large trout | 09:39 | |

| sd32 | jstengel: workin good for mee | 09:40 |
| jstengel | I had Edgy... it tried to upgrade to Feisty and it ate itself | 09:40 |

| progress0r | WaltzingAlong: What was the last entry to me? i logged out just when you entered. I was restarting x server. | 09:41 |
| WaltzingAlong | progress0r: did you see the section about adding the 'fglrx' module to the list of whitelisted modules? | 09:41 |
| jstengel | kk... | 09:41 |
| jstengel | tnx | 09:41 |
| progress0r | WaltzingAlong: not on that tutorial - ill look again | 09:41 |
| sd32 | I think there all pretty stable, ubuntu is prob the most compatable | 09:41 |
| WaltzingAlong | progress0r: section on 3d desktop effects | 09:42 |
| progress0r | WaltzingAlong: looking now - tx | 09:42 |

| crazy_bus | I have a problem with a hp printer printing missing a colour. What package should I file it under? | 09:51 |
| jastengel | how do I mount a HDD | 09:54 |
| jastengel | it is the first drive on the second ide buss | 09:54 |
| WaltzingAlong | jastengel: typically one mounts file systems | 09:56 |
| WaltzingAlong | !mounting | jastengel | 09:56 |

| WaltzingAlong | jastengel: graphically through kmenu/system settings/advanced/disks and filesystems | 09:57 |
| WaltzingAlong | jastengel: need to switch to admin mode, then | 09:58 |
| jastengel | kk in admin | 09:58 |
| WaltzingAlong | jastengel: click the entry, click modify, then point to a folder where you want the item mounted | 09:58 |
| jastengel | kk did that... then I went into the directory and it didnt work | 10:01 |
| WaltzingAlong | jastengel: apparently not following one of the provided guides. my guess is that you need to set up the correct permissions | 10:01 |
| jastengel | ummm how do I do that? | 10:01 |
| WaltzingAlong | jastengel: open konsole. type mount then pastebin the result | 10:02 |
| WaltzingAlong | !pastebin | jastengel | 10:02 |
| ubotu | jastengel: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 10:02 |

| jastengel | (back story, in case lurkers are curious: Feisty Fawn ate my Edgy install, and I am a nub who didnt back up his email before he let the machine upgrade... plus its my work email... cant afford to loose it | 10:24 |
| jastengel | the moral... backup b4 it cracks up | 10:25 |
| WaltzingAlong | jastengel: but you have the backup of your old email so the task is now in recovering/restoring it | 10:25 |
| jastengel | I dont... I have the hard drive in a different linux computer... the one I tested kubuntu on before I put it on my production computer | 10:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | jastengel: you have a copy of the data. | 10:26 |
| jastengel | I have the data.... but I am having trouble finding it :) | 10:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | jastengel: use konqueror, browse in /home/jasen/Desktop/old/home/jasen/.thunderbird/Mail | 10:27 |
| jastengel | .thunderbird is not in /home/jasen/Desktop/old/home/jasen/ | 10:30 |
| WaltzingAlong | jastengel: may be .mozilla-thunderbird | 10:30 |
| jastengel | it was .mozilla-thunderbird | 10:37 |
| WaltzingAlong | jastengel: and if you used the same username, restoring could be as easy as copying .mozilla-thunderbird to your new /home/user folder | 10:41 |
| jastengel | just a question... not critical... the attachments that were on each message... are they in the local folders directory? or are they elsewhere... its not too big a deal if I loose them... but if its as easy as copying another directory... | 10:43 |
| tala_ | Hi all, i gotta a question, maybe someone can help me... | 10:43 |
| emilsedgh | jastengel: emails are usually in ~/.mail | 10:46 |

| emilsedgh | jastengel: or ~/.kde/share/apps/kmail/mail | 10:46 |
| tala_ | I use Kubuntu since 2 years, and i could configure all i did want (beryl, wine, Steam...), theres only one thing i couldnt setup... the sync with my pda... | 10:47 |
| tala_ | I try It with SynCE, but it doesnt conect, I got a Qtek S200 with WinME 5.0 | 10:48 |
| tala_ | the sistem detects my device when i conect it at ttyUSB0 | 10:48 |
| WaltzingAlong | jastengel: the way thunderbird stores the email, the attachments are stored within the files you see there in the directory structure in konqueror | 10:48 |
| jastengel | Thank you for your help WA, my data is safe!!!! I am in youer debt | 10:48 |
| WaltzingAlong | jastengel: glad it worked out for you | 10:49 |
| tala_ | I did configure synCE to listen dis dev, but it seems it doesnt conect the pda | 10:49 |

| Lynoure | tala_: unless it's a "has synched a PDA / has not synched" poll. Synching Palm was different from synching N800, and I bet others are different, too | 10:54 |
| yeo_ | i'm guessing that kopete steals acess to the audio. but i thinking that shouldnt happen... | 10:54 |
| tala_ | ah ok, i have a Qtek s200 (HTC prophet), its has WindowsCE 5 | 10:55 |

| berkes | is anyone aware of a good way to enlarge the swap partition on an installed system? | 11:39 |
| shaka | thanks | 11:39 |
| WaltzingAlong | berkes: what size is it? a partition editor to resize partitions | 11:40 |
| nonewmsgs | use gparted to boot so it wont use the swap so you can resize it | 11:40 |
| darlos | do i have to rwite my email adress? | 11:40 |
| berkes | WaltzingAlong: it is now 580M I want it 1.5G or so. | 11:41 |
| darlos | i have hotmail | 11:41 |
| berkes | problem is, WaltzingAlong, its the first partition, So I am not sure if a partition editor (I use qparted) can do it, | 11:41 |
| berkes | without severe loss of data | 11:41 |
| RomeoOrdos | hi | 11:42 |
| WaltzingAlong | berkes: one route would be to load from a livecd, use qtparted to resize the partitions as necessary, then reboot | 11:42 |
| WaltzingAlong | berkes: and the amount of ram in your computer? | 11:42 |
| WaltzingAlong | berkes: or how much swap have you noticed being used? | 11:43 |
| berkes | WaltzingAlong: 560M, so pretty small, wich is why i gave my swap the same | 11:43 |
| WaltzingAlong | berkes: should be about right though | 11:43 |
| berkes | WaltzingAlong: it often is nearly saturated, after wich the system gets really slow | 11:43 |

| WaltzingAlong | pawan: at the login manager (gdm or kdm) select kde as your session | 11:44 |
| berkes | WaltzingAlong: yup, I know, Ive been on kde for nearly 8 years exclusively :p | 11:44 |
| WaltzingAlong | berkes: then you may wish to grab another harddrive, perhaps one you have laying around, then use its 2 GB as another swap | 11:44 |
| berkes | however, 2x560M is not enough. Especially when I need monsters like OO.o and swiftfox/firefox. They tend to eat over 20% of the mem. | 11:45 |
| berkes | WaltzingAlong: good idea. Only. Its a laptop :) | 11:45 |
| WaltzingAlong | berkes: yes i think you could use partition editors to change the sizes | 11:46 |
| nonewmsgs | !fsck | 11:46 |
| ubotu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.

| pawan | hi | 11:46 |
| pawan | selected kde | 11:46 |

| WaltzingAlong | !ask | sorin | 11:50 |

| sorin | i try from 3 times and i don't get any help here | 11:51 |
| sorin | so i ask first | 11:51 |
| sorin | how can i mount a vfat partition? | 11:51 |
| WaltzingAlong | !mount | sorin | 11:51 |
| ubotu | sorin: Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Kubuntu, go to System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter | 11:51 |

| WaltzingAlong | sorin: the guides walk you through the answers. ask when you get stuck | 11:52 |
| sorin | i just want to be mounted at kubuntu start | 11:53 |
| sorin | p[lease how can modify fstab for that ? | 11:53 |
| WaltzingAlong | !fstab | sorin | 11:53 |
| ubotu | sorin: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 11:53 |
| berkes | WaltzingAlong: yea, I already ordered more RAM, but 1G of ram would "require" (is adviced) also more swap. hence I want to resize it. | 11:53 |
| berkes | and WaltzingAlong: the noteook is off right now so no "free" results :) | 11:53 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | berkes, you don't need a large swap file if you have large amount of RAM. | 11:54 |
| WaltzingAlong | berkes: so use the partition managers to change sizes. lot of flexibility because you could boot without swap, recreate it later, | 11:54 |
| WaltzingAlong | berkes: i agree | 11:54 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | I only have 250 MB of swap on mine with 2GB of ram and it runs excellently (my laptop). | 11:55 |
| nonewmsgs | exactly. i have resized my swap so it's smaller. for some reason when i allowed feisty to autopartition it gave itself a 5gb partition because i have 2gb of ram | 11:56 |
| === pawan is now known as pawan1234 | ||
| WaltzingAlong | on this machine the swap is the same size as the installed RAM (2GB) but the system hardly ever uses the swap and runs completely fine with swap disabled (sudo swapoff -av) | 11:56 |

| madler | hi everyone... my us international keyboard setting has stop working inside kde apps (firefox for example is still fine) | 12:18 |
| madler | can someone help me debug this | 12:18 |
| madler | ? | 12:18 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | madler, what does it do? | 12:19 |
| madler | it somehow ignores the deadkeys and for example for double quotes it prints this ¨ | 12:20 |
| madler | so there is now way that I can input any umlauts since no deadkey on ¨ | 12:20 |
| WaltzingAlong | madler: kmenu/system settings/regional and language/keyboard layout, which is selected? | 12:20 |
| madler | only in kde apps though | 12:21 |
| madler | none | 12:21 |
| madler | hang on | 12:21 |
| madler | turned off | 12:21 |
| WaltzingAlong | madler: enable it, select the keyboard layout you wish to use | 12:22 |
| WaltzingAlong | madler: along with the corresponding variant | 12:22 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | open up your kde control center and look under Regional & Accessibility. You can change your keyboard layout and set additional settings for you keyboard behaviour. | 12:22 |
| madler | WaltzingAlong: does this becomce active immediatley | 12:22 |
| madler | ? | 12:22 |
| WaltzingAlong | i think so | 12:23 |
| madler | or logout back in? | 12:23 |
| gundam_rx78nt1 | log back in. | 12:23 |
| madler | ok | 12:23 |
| madler | brb | 12:23 |
| yknott | WaltzingAlong: greetings | 12:26 |
| tiger_ | Hi | 12:26 |
| madler | this did not help WaltzingAlong and gundam_rx78nt1 | 12:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | madler: ok otherwise check that the keyboard settings are right in x server conf file. btw, what changed that it started not working? | 12:27 |
| madler | WaltzingAlong: I was hoping you would have skipped this question ... are you seated? I changed sources.list to hardy, after dist-upgrade noticed that not all of xorg 1.3 was in yet so changed back to gusty ... got the system back up and I though all is good until I tried to do double quotes in konsole ... as said in firefox, it works fine | 12:29 |
| madler | so yes I know myself around a bit | 12:29 |
| WaltzingAlong | madler: so you may want to reconfigure xserver, selecting the keyboard layout and variant you want. (may also help to have all packages from one dist release ;) ) sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 12:30 |
| madler | did that | 12:30 |
| madler | at least the reconfigure part | 12:30 |
| madler | but I will completely remove all xserver-xorg packages and re-install them ... to make sure that I am not running different version | 12:31 |
| madler | s | 12:31 |
| madler | brb, I hope | 12:32 |

| Alarm | anyone here having baghira theme installed ? | 12:45 |
| wesley | baghira theme give problems with non kde apps thats why i did disable it | 12:46 |
| Alarm | i have it installed, havent seen this problem yet | 12:46 |
| Alarm | problems like what wesley ? | 12:46 |
| wesley | blackscreens only if you hover with the mouse over it you could click it its by apps that are non kde | 12:47 |
| Alarm | i use also apps that are not kde and dont have this problem. i use xchat, acroread, azureus | 12:48 |
| Alarm | havent seen anything like that | 12:48 |
| wesley | its not always | 12:48 |
| Alarm | the only thing that i see which is , when i do a download and the titlebar is refreshing for example to 50% to 51%, 52% , every time its flashing | 12:48 |
| Alarm | instead of that everything works fine. though i cant understand most of the colours or settings what changes they do | 12:49 |
| Alarm | did you install it from your repo ? | 12:49 |
| E_mE | what does it mean when Kubuntu wont load the desktop from KDM login screen?!?! | 12:49 |
| wesley | yes i install from repo | 12:50 |
| Alarm | that you wont have a login screen | 12:50 |
| Alarm | it will boot directly to your user, (i suppose) | 12:50 |
| WaltzingAlong | !autostart | 13:04 |
| ubotu | To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. | 13:04 |
| E_mE | Alarm: no.. i use the login screen first.. then click login and it just halts | 13:09 |
| Alarm | and what happens ? | 13:10 |
| E_mE | Alarm: nothing... just stays pre-KDE start up.. need to press Alt+Ctrl+Backspace to get back to KDm and then go via console login | 13:11 |
| Alarm | dont know where kdm saves the logs. check if there are kdm longs under /var/log | 13:11 |
| Alarm | cause if it would be xorg it wouldnt load the splash screen either | 13:12 |
| E_mE | Alarm: understandable... ive looged at the logs and doesn;t appear to say much.. | 13:14 |

| Jahman | hi | 13:34 |
| atlfalcons866 | hi | 13:35 |
| Downix | ARGH! My new Kubuntu machine went south on me | 13:38 |
| Downix | still can't figure out what happened | 13:38 |
| ubuntu | hi | 13:44 |
| Downix | hello | 13:44 |
| ubuntu | lol | 13:44 |
| ubuntu | Umm what one is better ubuntu or kubuntu' | 13:44 |
| bazhang | Downix: it won't boot | 13:44 |
| bazhang | ? | 13:44 |
| Downix | bazhang, It turn off without warning, and ever since it will randomly try to start up, then turn off again. | 13:45 |
| Downix | ubuntu: they're the same thing save which window manager it comes with. | 13:45 |
| bazhang | single boot machine Downix? | 13:45 |
| Downix | bazhang, Yup. Note, it's not a PC. | 13:45 |
| ubuntu | No they are completly different | 13:45 |
| ubuntu | Kde and gnome | 13:45 |
| bazhang | Downix: what do you mean not a PC? | 13:46 |
| Downix | ubuntu: yes, those are the window managers. | 13:46 |
| Downix | bazhang; just that, no BIOS, no x86-compat CPU, no 8-bit legacy, no method of booting any Windows newer than NT 4.0.... not a PC. | 13:46 |
| ubuntu | Ok, Can i get compiz on kubuntu | 13:46 |
| ubuntu | PS# right | 13:46 |
| ubuntu | Ps3 | 13:47 |
| bazhang | Downix: ok. | 13:47 |
| ubuntu | Can boot ubuntu | 13:47 |
| bazhang | ubuntu: yes you can get compiz-fusion on Kubuntu | 13:47 |
| Downix | bazhang: It's perplexing me because I can't use my usual method of hitting the BIOS to see what's the matter. OpenFirmware is still quite alien to me. | 13:47 |
| ubuntu | Ok. Well i am going to dualboot ubuntu and kubuntu. see you all later. | 13:48 |
| Downix | ??? | 13:48 |
| clyde | what kind of maintenance has to be performed on kubuntu (new to linux, am uesd to windows where there is a lot of maintenance) | 13:48 |
| Downix | Why not just install Ubuntu then install KDE with it? | 13:48 |
| ubuntu | how | 13:48 |
| Downix | clyde: not much | 13:48 |
| ubuntu | Why. | 13:48 |
| Downix | ubuntu: use the package manager to install kde. | 13:48 |
| ubuntu | Ok. | 13:48 |
| ubuntu | Yoou have a point. | 13:48 |
| Downix | or install kubuntu then install gnome | 13:49 |
| Downix | same thing | 13:49 |
| ubuntu | Yea. Ok | 13:49 |
| ubuntu | Ill do that. | 13:49 |
| Downix | My son likes GNOME, I run KDE, my wife goes for Enlightenment | 13:49 |
| Downix | the beauty part about Linux, they all just work! | 13:49 |
| clyde | do i need to do anything to maintain kubuntu? | 13:49 |
| Downix | clyde: every so often it will check for updates | 13:50 |
| Downix | clyde: when you need to install them it'll let you know. | 13:50 |
| clyde | the updates i understand but do i need to defrag or anything? | 13:51 |
| Downix | I'm about to put Kubuntu on a PC now, and use that to serial-terminal into the box to see what's going on with the firmware. I was so sad when the SPARC crashed.... | 13:51 |
| Casey | No. | 13:51 |
| Downix | clyde: no. The ext3, xfs, ReiserFS and JFS file systems all eliminate the need for defragging. | 13:51 |
| Casey | clyde: Linux is not like Windows where you have to defrag | 13:51 |
| clyde | this seems a lot easier than windows. thanks for the info... | 13:52 |
| Downix | clyde: the irony of course being that it now runs more Windows software, using the WINE add-on, than Windows Vista does. 8) | 13:52 |
| clyde | i have an old address book that i like, are you saying that it will run it??? | 13:53 |
| Casey | Possibly. | 13:53 |
| kalorin | I just got parts for an upgrade yesterday | 13:54 |
| Casey | You'll have to look at Wine's Apps DB or test it yourself | 13:54 |
| Downix | there's a good chance, but you'd have to first install and set up Wine or one of the commercial wine variants like Crossover Office or Cedega. | 13:54 |
| kalorin | E6750 baord and chips and stuff | 13:54 |
| kalorin | is there any reason i shouldnt' got to 64bit? | 13:54 |
| clyde | windows vista would not run it on this 64 bit computer. | 13:54 |
| clyde | is there help on wine? | 13:54 |
| Casey | clyde: There might be a Linux alternative you might like. | 13:55 |
| clyde | yes??? | 13:55 |
| Downix | Yes but I'd check on native Linux apps first | 13:55 |
| clyde | Casy: what is the alt in linux? | 13:56 |
| Casey | clyde: Are you talking about just an address book client or an address book + email client? | 13:58 |
| poison-- | mornin guys | 13:58 |
| Downix | Hey, does the 64-bit SPARC port run apps in 64-bit land or 32-bit land? | 13:59 |
| Downix | I know Debian runs them in 32-bit land | 13:59 |
| clyde | yes, i've got one that i have used since win 95, and i like it a lot for it's ease of use | 13:59 |
| Downix | clyde: which one is it? | 13:59 |
| clyde | parsons address book | 13:59 |
| MasterShrek | clyde, if it run in win95 im almost positive it will runin wine | 14:00 |
| clyde | ok, thanks i will try it. | 14:00 |

| hydrogen | there are some binary-only apps (flash fex) that do not work on 64bit nicely | 14:31 |
| kalorin | "mostly"? | 14:31 |
| hydrogen | openoffice | 14:31 |
| SteamMachine | koffice or oo.o? | 14:31 |
| kalorin | ah | 14:31 |
| SteamMachine | Ah | 14:31 |
| kalorin | openoffice doesn't run on 64bit? | 14:31 |
| hydrogen | it does | 14:31 |
| SteamMachine | Wait what? | 14:31 |
| hydrogen | Ooo wasn't to you kalorin | 14:31 |
| hydrogen | it was to SteamMachine | 14:31 |
| SteamMachine | ah, thought so. : ) | 14:31 |
| kalorin | ah sorry | 14:31 |
| SteamMachine | awesome. | 14:31 |
| hydrogen | there are very few benefits from running 64bit os's at this point | 14:31 |
| hydrogen | unless you happen to want to use your desktop for high end mathematical/scientific computing | 14:32 |
| hydrogen | or have >4gb of ram | 14:32 |
| SteamMachine | So... what's the general consensus of kubuntu 7.10? | 14:32 |
| hydrogen | it took guts! | 14:32 |
| * hydrogen goes to get breakfast | 14:32 | |
| eetfuk | > 4gb ram or >= 4 gb ram? | 14:32 |
| kalorin | steam: i tried to do an upgrade over the weekend and blew things up really bad | 14:32 |
| SteamMachine | Oh dear. | 14:32 |
| kalorin | but I think it was mostly because I had an ATI card in there, then replaced it | 14:33 |
| SteamMachine | I'm planning to back everything up onto DVD and then install from the kubuntu dvd. | 14:33 |
| kalorin | and was using the ATI closed drivers and then the NVidia closed drivers | 14:33 |
| Downix | I hate closed drivers | 14:33 |

| emilsedgh | mohamed_: if you want gui, knoda is great | 14:35 |
| SteamMachine | Lines, smooth colours, etc. | 14:35 |
| jeanmass | i've just installed 7.10 to a new pc, i wanted to use recovery partition to restore PC to fabric settings, but nothing happens when i pres F9 during boot... ? | 14:35 |
| SteamMachine | Not too space age, but modern. | 14:35 |
| kalorin | yeah | 14:35 |
| mohamed_ | thx, emilsedgh i install it now | 14:35 |
| eetfuk | My desktop freezes when using Ktorrent or Mediatomb. | 14:35 |
| SteamMachine | Sadly it seems to have changed with this release. | 14:35 |
| kalorin | so what should you do to upgrade if you're using the nvidia closed drivers? | 14:35 |
| eetfuk | I have a D-link DWL-510(802.11b) | 14:36 |
| kalorin | uninstall them and go back to just standard stuff then upgrade, adn then reinstall theM? | 14:36 |
| mneisen | hi, after upgrading to gutsy the desktop has become insanely slow. I guess it has something to do with the xorg settings. Especially, I noticed that Xgl is running instead of the traditional X. The output looks like it's using VESA/frame buffering. Does anybody know anything? | 14:36 |
| pault | kalorin: i had problems installing nvidia in gutsy. tried to use package manager, but should have used the install proprietary drivers applet | 14:37 |
| pault | re-installed used proper option, and it worked after that | 14:38 |
| kalorin | k thanks | 14:38 |
| kalorin | iv'e got my workstation here at work to do as well | 14:38 |
| kalorin | thinking I should just go ahead and do it, but I'd hate to have it blow up | 14:39 |
| pault | dited xorg.conf to show nvidia splash screen, confirm its working | 14:39 |
| pault | *edited* | 14:39 |
| kalorin | so just go ahead and try to do the upgrade with the nvidia propriatary drivers in place and it'll be ok you think? | 14:40 |
| pault | welll i didn't upgrade, I re-installed...... | 14:40 |
| kalorin | ah | 14:40 |
| pault | ah indeed | 14:40 |
| SteamMachine | Is there a list of what is installed in the kgear menu? | 14:40 |
| SteamMachine | Erm | 14:40 |
| SteamMachine | rephrase | 14:41 |
| SteamMachine | For the gutsy release, what applications are installed by default? | 14:41 |
| pault | upgrading's a bugger! | 14:41 |
| kalorin | yeah thatw as something else I noticed | 14:41 |
| kalorin | when I did hte upgrade, all the sudden I had all these packages back that I'd uninstalled before | 14:42 |
| kalorin | kind of aggrevating, I didn't want them before, i don't want them now | 14:42 |
| kalorin | of course it didn't complete the upgrade, because it blew up before it finished due to that symlink it wasn't able to make | 14:43 |

| ubuntu | fixmbr? | 15:23 |
| ubuntu | i read it did not work for vista | 15:23 |
| rjune_ | ubuntu: you mean fdisk /fixmbr? | 15:25 |
| ubuntu | rjune_: yes | 15:25 |
| ubuntu | i want to remove grub | 15:26 |
| ubuntu | i read a commqnd like fixmbr | 15:26 |
| ubuntu | does it work for vista? | 15:26 |
| rjune_ | no clue. | 15:26 |
| rjune_ | that's the way it was done in xp, I would think it would work in vista. | 15:26 |
| rjune_ | but I don't use vista. | 15:27 |
| backtick | hi all, i'm installed gutsy on my machine with an old LG Studioworks 550G monitor (refersh rate is 60).. but during the boot process, the monitor reports that it's being set to an unsupported (higher) frequency and reverts back.. by then most of the boot process has already completed and X goes on to start.. any ideas on how to fix that? | 15:30 |
| BluesKaj | rjune_, no to restore the mbr in vista one needs a seperate app called EasyBCD | 15:32 |
| BluesKaj | backtick, the only way i can think of is : k-menu/system settings/monitor&display/hardware-tab/admin mode/monitor/configure. Find your monitor in the list and "apply" , if possible.Click "test". If all is well, logout and back in again. | 15:37 |
| === clemenml is now known as mallize | ||
| backtick | BluesKaj: well i did but i think it configures X not the boot splash stuff.. | 15:43 |
| BluesKaj | well, backtick that's not a serious problem , you can configure that in system settings splash screen , if that's what you mean | 15:46 |
| bazhang | err this is pretty embarrassing--went to install realplayer to my system and installed it twice --once to /opt/RealPlayer, and once to my Desktop :{ | 15:47 |
| bazhang | so to remove the desktop version I should sudo rmdir rm -f RealPlayer, right? | 15:48 |
| === dresken_ is now known as Dresken | ||
| bazhang | don't usually make such idiot moves, but there you are.. | 15:49 |
| BluesKaj | bazhang, remove both , then reinstall one ...that way you'll be sure one installation won't interfere with the other | 15:52 |
| bazhang | BluesKaj: thanks--so was that code right? sudo rmdir rm-f RealPlayer? | 15:53 |
| BluesKaj | yeah , I think that should work | 15:53 |
| KingJere | I installed a command line kubuntu feisty on a very low end laptop. What packages do I need to install to enable usb automount? | 15:54 |
| bazhang | it says directory not empty :{ | 15:54 |
| MementoMori | bazhang: rm -rf | 15:54 |
| BluesKaj | bazhang, did you compile ? | 15:54 |
| savetheWorld | wow, ISO download in 17 minutes! | 15:54 |
| bazhang | BluesKaj: yeah, downloaded from real.com then sudo ./Realetcetc.bin | 15:55 |

| === emilsedgh_ is now known as emilsedgh | ||

| downix | Ok, kubuntu is now on my PC | 15:57 |
| downix | hopefully this can fix my SPARC machine | 15:57 |
| downix | still fustrating, I had AROS half-compiled when it went down | 15:58 |
| BluesKaj | dunno why webmasters use realplayer ..it's a PITA | 15:58 |
| KingJere | BTW I can confirm that kubuntu (command line) can be installed on PII with only 64M of ram. | 15:58 |
| cloakable | :D | 15:58 |
| BluesKaj | KingJere, yes i did that 2 yrs ago with dapper ...was a bit slow with kde tho | 15:59 |
| KingJere | BluesKaj: I use fluxbox | 15:59 |
| KingJere | BluesKaj: its tollerable | 15:59 |
| BluesKaj | yes KingJere fluxbox is a smaller footprint | 15:59 |
| wesley | can it be they hacked my kopete? | 15:59 |
| KingJere | BluesKaj: did you see my original question about automount? | 16:00 |
| bazhang | Hi Jucato | 16:00 |
| Dream_Coder | has anyone got 3gp encoding to work in kubuntu? | 16:01 |
| bazhang | how does one play 3gp files? | 16:01 |
| Dream_Coder | i installed 3gp movie wizard it loads etc then just sort of tries to encode and doesnt | 16:01 |
| BluesKaj | KingJer no I didn't ...was doing some other stuff | 16:02 |
| KingJere | Whats the packages I need to enable automount of usb drives on that laptop PII | 16:03 |
| Dream_Coder | bazhang http://my.opera.com/kubuntu-linux/forums/topic.dml?id=194476 | 16:03 |

| bazhang | Dream_Coder: thanks! | 16:03 |
| KingJere | just hal? | 16:03 |
| downix | I just ran a gears test under the new kubuntu install, got a 30% performance boost over the same test under Vista | 16:03 |
| KingJere | and its dependencies? | 16:04 |
| Tasos | does anybody know which packages I need to enable to use the 'make' command? | 16:04 |
| downix | tasos: automake autoconf | 16:04 |
| BluesKaj | Tasos, you need build-essential | 16:04 |
| Tasos | thanx downix i'll try it | 16:04 |
| downix | build-essential will add those IIRC, plus a lot of other things | 16:05 |
| hydrogen | everything you need to actually build.. | 16:06 |
| BluesKaj | KingJere, I'm not sure what you mean ...my USB pendrive is auto detected | 16:06 |

| hydrogen | afaik | 16:06 |
| hydrogen | yea | 16:07 |
| BluesKaj | chores to do for 20mins or so ...BBL | 16:07 |

| dappermuis | zenzu-yang, sure - cheers | 16:37 |

| Dr_Willis | My brother got his WoW account banned.. so we dont play it any more. :) theres plenty of other games out. | 16:39 |
| downix | Dr_Willis: I tried LOTR, still found it lacking. I guess I got spoiled on CoH's creation system. Find the others too limited | 16:41 |
| Dr_Willis | spend 10 hrs making a char.. ya play for 10 min. :) | 16:41 |
| downix | 8) | 16:41 |
| Dr_Willis | I havent played CoH in ages.. last i was on . it was eveyrone just farming for exp. | 16:41 |
| downix | yes, but you look so good doing it! | 16:41 |
| downix | Dr_Willis: it's changed dramatically over the past year. | 16:42 |
| Dr_Willis | downix for the better or worse.. :) i saw where they adeded crafting.. which i 'feel' is a bad thing. heh :) | 16:42 |
| Dr_Willis | But if you like it - have a blast. | 16:42 |
| Dr_Willis | Its just kind of depressing to go back into a game. and the once "highly populated' areas are now totally dead. | 16:43 |
| downix | Dr_Willis: The CoH crafting system is unlike EQ/WOW/LOTR's. | 16:43 |
| downix | Hrm? Subscription hasn't been this high since the game began. | 16:43 |
| Dr_Willis | They had Horse Raceing in LordOfTheRings the last few weeks. :) you actually rode the horse in the races. | 16:43 |
| downix | fun | 16:43 |
| Dr_Willis | downix if you say so. I never see CoH mentioned any more in the mags. But I dont pay attention to it all. | 16:44 |
| Dr_Willis | Perhaps if NcSoft had an "all in one' package. for a reasonable price. | 16:44 |

| vge | !dolphin | 16:50 |
| ubotu | 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. | 16:50 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | Dr_Willis: i'm thinking they won't break a model that's served them very well | 16:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Is autoassault like.. GONE? I dont see it mentioned ion the NCsoft page. | 16:52 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | they have the whole "don't want to pay monthly" crowd wrapped up, and the monthly-fee arena is waaaay too overcrowded. moving to a monthly model would kill GW. | 16:53 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont see mention of any all-in-one priceing either for the other games.. Hmm.. lets look some more | 16:53 |
| ardchoille | kbfx is quite nice. Nice change from the standard menus | 16:54 |
| downix | Dr_Willis: AutoAssault was closed down months ago. As for all in one pricing, I stand corrected. They made an all-in-one NCSoft time card you could use on any one of their games. | 16:56 |
| downix | they need all-in-one. | 16:56 |
| downix | then again, I only play CoH | 16:56 |
| Dr_Willis | downix ahh.. Ok.. Heck I cant even find Pricing on the games. :) | 16:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Guess i wont be doing any of them for a while. | 17:00 |
| Dr_Willis | I got the Lifetime Membership for LOTROnline. so i will be with it for a while. :) | 17:00 |
| downix | I tried it, the thing ate so much HD space and RAM I was turned off. Then seeing the game in action, felt too limiting. | 17:07 |
| downix | But, if you like it, good for ya | 17:07 |
| Dr_Willis | I need a game i can sit and play and relax. :) | 17:07 |
| Dr_Willis | Or i just hang on IRC> | 17:08 |

| RurouniJones | mmm, new laptop should be arriving tomorrow, got the Gutsy CD ready to go. | 17:14 |
| jhutchins | It says something that noatun is using a sound system that's years out of date. | 17:14 |
| console_jockey | jhutchins: ok, that makes sense. I'm just not clear how to configure arts | 17:14 |
| Dr_Willis | jhutchins i was just thinking that also.. :) | 17:14 |
| Dr_Willis | arts is old... alsa is the new way. | 17:15 |

| console_jockey | bazhang: I'll let you know. It's a new install, so there are bound to be issues to resolve. I've of course resolved them all with the previous install, so I know there has to be a fix... just have to play | 17:37 |
| bazhang | console_jockey: good luck with that give a holler if you need help (for others to help that is haha) | 17:38 |
| ScorpKing | console_jockey: i just got here. what is wrong? | 17:39 |

| bazhang | cool | 17:41 |
| ScorpKing | oh ok. ;) | 17:41 |

| Vermux | how do I switch tabs with with the keyboard on Firefox? | 17:43 |

| TimS | What the official way to update from 7.04 to 7.10? | 17:44 |
| ScorpKing | !upgrade | 17:45 |
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 17:45 |
| bazhang | TimS: fresh install or through dist-upgrade? | 17:45 |
| TimS | Dist-upgade | 17:45 |
| TimS | I would like to keep my stuff :P | 17:45 |
| bazhang | haha | 17:45 |
| ScorpKing | TimS: make a seperate /home patririon next time. :P | 17:46 |

| TimS | Is there a turoial anywhere on how to switch back to Konqueror as a file manager instead of dolphin? | 17:49 |
| Vermux | bazhang: there is nothing there with the word Keyboard | 17:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !dolphin | 17:49 |
| ubotu | 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. | 17:49 |
| Dr_Willis | its easy TimS :) | 17:49 |
| Dr_Willis | see the bot factoid above | 17:50 |
| TimS | :D | 17:50 |
| TimS | Thanks | 17:50 |
| TimS | D3lphin is awefull in my opinion | 17:50 |

| Vermux | how do I change permissions so I could cp a file? | 18:08 |
| vge | sudo cp | 18:09 |
| Dr_Willis | or chmod +r the file | 18:10 |
| asfak | i have found a great way to communication. www.tringme.com but unfortunately playback is supported through quicktime only. (i think that are gsm files). How do i play them embedded in firefox or konqueror. help greatly needed. | 18:10 |
| === dresken_ is now known as Dresken | ||
| Vermux | Dr_Willis: chmod changes permamently the permission so I can copy a certain file without having to type sudo everytime I want to cp the file? | 18:11 |
| Q-collective | Vermux: if you can read a file, you should be able to cp it | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Vermux thats how permissions work. :) | 18:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux fundamentals. check out a 'chmod' tutorial or 2 online it explaines it all and how the #'s work and what mode do what. | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Unlike the Lame way Windows handles file permissions.. Linux actually makes USE of them. in a useable fashion | 18:12 |
| ScorpKing | lol | 18:12 |
| Vermux | Dr_Willis: the chmod +r dowsnt work | 18:12 |
| Dr_Willis | whatever promted MS to make all files copied from a cdrom drive 'read only' i will never know.. THEN it really dosent even make them read only | 18:13 |
| Vermux | Q-collective: I can read the file but cant cp | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Vermux if you are Not the owner of the file. You can change that also. | 18:13 |
| vge | sudo chmod works ofcos :) | 18:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Vermux 'ls -l filename' see what permissions/ownershp of the file is | 18:13 |
| ScorpKing | Vermux: chown you:you file or chown you:you -R dir/ to change them all | 18:13 |
| Vermux | Dr_Willis: Im the owner | 18:14 |
| Vermux | Dr_Willis: also: rwxr | 18:14 |
| ScorpKing | Vermux: do you own the place where you want to copy it to? | 18:15 |
| Vermux | ScorpKing: no | 18:15 |
| ScorpKing | hehe. have write permission there? | 18:15 |
| thomax__ | anyone in here who know when kubuntu packages of KDE4 beta 4 will be available? | 18:16 |
| Vermux | ScorpKing: yes, have -rw | 18:16 |
| ScorpKing | thomax__: they usually announce that on www.kubuntu.org | 18:16 |
| thomax__ | ScorpKing: yeah I know, but nothing to be found there, and the beta4 has been reseased some time now, so I was wondering why there are no packages yet | 18:17 |
| ScorpKing | Vermux: you must own it or others must have -rw on the dir to be able to copy to it | 18:17 |
| === winnie is now known as Fulgrim | ||
| Vermux | ScorpKing: the directory that I want to cp the file to has rw permission | 18:19 |
| eagles0513875 | guys i have a question is there any wifi manager in kubuntu that allows for tkip | 18:19 |
| savetheWorld | does anyone know if DNSmasq can be installed and used (for local DNS caching) on a system which has a static IP without causing problems? | 18:19 |
| eagles0513875 | cuz my school uses tkip and for some reason with 2 wifi utils i have they wont allow for tkip | 18:19 |
| coreymon77 | eagles0513875: tkip? | 18:20 |
| eagles0513875 | coreymon77: ya | 18:20 |
| coreymon77 | eagles0513875: whats that, if you dont mind my asking? | 18:20 |
| Vermux | ScorpKing: I tried also to cp the file to a directory that I own, and cannot cp | 18:20 |
| ScorpKing | Vermux: if you don't own it it should be -rw-rw-rw | 18:20 |
| eagles0513875 | coreymon77: give me a min | 18:20 |
| bazhang | tkip is a wpa protocol | 18:21 |
| coreymon77 | ah | 18:21 |
| coreymon77 | wpa | 18:21 |
| eagles0513875 | coreymon77: encryption protocol | 18:21 |

| Vermux | ScorpKing: ? I dont c 0 | 18:23 |
| ScorpKing | eagles0513875: the only way that seems to work is if you connect wpa with cli | 18:23 |
| eagles0513875 | cant connect to an unsecured wifi netowrks on that or kwifimanager | 18:23 |
| coreymon77 | eagles0513875: whats the point of a wired laptop, you loose the portability | 18:23 |

| eagles0513875 | Toph: no konversation | 18:38 |

| eagles0513875 | Dream_Coder: they have some pretty sweet games | 18:40 |
| Dr_Willis | lascar yes. 3d support for that card has been around for ages. | 18:40 |
| Dr_Willis | lascar ive used that card on my linux box. for a few years :) | 18:41 |
| eagles0513875 | Dream_Coder: u know what katapult does | 18:41 |
| lascar | oh. | 18:41 |
| Dream_Coder | nope | 18:41 |
| Dream_Coder | shots soemthing somewhere? | 18:41 |
| Dream_Coder | lol | 18:41 |
| Dr_Willis | You Do mean the 6800 Not the 8600 ? | 18:41 |
| eagles0513875 | guys if i remove knetworkmanager it will breka some dependencies | 18:41 |
| lascar | Dr_Willis: i knew of that, but i got similar problems in previous editions of kubuntu. In versions like Dapper or Hoary, I'd have to edit the xorg config file | 18:42 |
| * Dr_Willis is annoyed there is a new 8800 comming out that would of been cheaper for me then this one i got now. :) | 18:42 | |
| eagles0513875 | lascar: same with my card which is only 2 yrs old in edgy and feisty but now in gutsy its changed | 18:42 |
| Dr_Willis | lascar odd. My 6800 has been a total breeze. | 18:42 |
| eagles0513875 | then again mine is an ati | 18:42 |
| Dr_Willis | lascar normally i just run the 'restricted-manager' tool and let it do the work.. reboot.. its done. | 18:42 |
| ScorpKing | Dream_Coder: for learning C++ - http://mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html | 18:43 |
| eagles0513875 | how do i make sure that when removing knetworkmanager it also removes its dependencies | 18:43 |

| |Alessandro| | Hi, i install wmvare and when i presss Power ON for running give me this error: Unable to change virtual machine power state: Cannot find a valid peer process to connect to. | 19:20 |
| aunes | parsnip: it doesn't return anything, but when I run ident2, it says something is already bound to port 113. Thoughts? | 19:20 |
| elliott | affan: That's something you would ask your ISP about. | 19:21 |
| affan | elliott: i disagree i am sorry... what does ISP have to do with it.... i can connect to the internet via the modem.... the network settings on Kubuntu are somehow messed up | 19:22 |
| parsnip | aunes: sorry, i just googled and found that | 19:22 |
| aunes | parsnip: ahh. gotcha. thanks anyway! | 19:22 |
| ScorpKing | affan: do you have ppp0 for internet? | 19:24 |
| affan | ScorpKing: ppp0? i think i do but why do i need that in this case? | 19:24 |

| aunes | TimS: perhaps netstat -a? | 19:25 |
| aunes | - the ? | 19:25 |
| ScorpKing | wait guys. let me explain the problem. | 19:25 |
| pedahzur | Hey, anyone know when KDE 4 beta 4 (3.95 packages) will be available for Gutsy? | 19:27 |
| elliott | affan: I think it's something to do with going from router to DSL modem to the internet. The router isn't expecting the DSL modem and the DSL modem isn't expecting the router. I ended up having to call my ISP to get the same setup goingand that was on windows. | 19:28 |
| ScorpKing | when using dsl or any other kind of dailup that needs authentication from the computer it uses ppp for the connection. konqueror and other kde apps seems to have no internet. the problem seems to be with the default route.... | 19:28 |
| affan | elliott: thanks for ur reply... i was able to connect just fine 30 minutes ago using feisty... just now i upgraged to Gutsy and it complained about restricted drivers etc.. which i think i installed but then it wouldnt connect thru the router... | 19:29 |
| jermain | hi everyone | 19:29 |
| ScorpKing | kde use the default route to connect to the internet. ppp has a different route. if a network connection on eth? is started before the ppp0 connection kde will have internet... | 19:30 |
| ScorpKing | eth? will then route through ppp0 and for some reason there will be internet. setting up eth0 manually seems to solve the problem. | 19:31 |
| jermain | quesstion: can i upgrade from feisty to gutsy or do i need to go for a clean install? I allready burned the gutsy cd | 19:31 |
| ScorpKing | affan: look at what i said. ^ | 19:31 |
| pedahzur | jermain: You can upgrade, but there are special procedures for using the CD to do so. | 19:32 |

| timri | vbgunz_: Wifi? | 19:42 |
| vbgunz_ | timri: yeah | 19:42 |

| dappermuis | DaSkreech, lets not forget about an understanding of some low level language | 20:02 |
| DaSkreech | I think the open source driver covers that | 20:02 |

| DaSkreech | eagles0513875: Attach yourself to the opensource team | 20:06 |
| eagles0513875 | DaSkreech: ? | 20:06 |
| DaSkreech | you can give them info that will help them make a better driver | 20:06 |
| eagles0513875 | what opensource team | 20:06 |
| eagles0513875 | ati | 20:06 |
| eagles0513875 | and where do i attach myself to | 20:07 |

| dappermuis | you know what would be great, a single dvd/video studio. sort of like Kontact, but with dvd authoring/ripping tools instead | 20:07 |
| _Angelus_ | timri: no | 20:07 |
| DaSkreech | eagles0513875: the Xorg team would be one place to start | 20:07 |
| eagles0513875 | ok do they have their own irc channel | 20:08 |
| gnurph69 | does VNC exist for kubuntu? | 20:08 |
| timri | _Angelus_: Google found this: http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/Software/System/Files/DVD/CDROM/1930/ (dont know that site, though) | 20:08 |

| eagles0513875 | gnurph69: u have to use adept manager | 20:10 |
| eagles0513875 | gnurph69: that is what manages all the pkgs | 20:10 |

| RedLizard | when booting kubuntu 7.10 on one of my secondary machines, the installer failes at 23% of the "copying files" step with an I/O error. dmesg reveales a shitload of squashfs errors (sb_bread failed reading some block, unable to read page, zlib_inflate errors), but no I/O errors (except for a missing floppy). the squashfs errors started before i started the installation (~15 seconds after the previous, unrelated kernel message). note that i ha | 20:11 |
| RedLizard | ubuntu 7.04, on the same machine. no other machines i installed kubuntu on ever gave me this problem. multiple cdroms (and cdrom drives) where tried, and memory has been tested (to no avail). notable hardware is an ATI graphics card (radeon 9200se), whereas all previous systems always contained nvidia graphics cards. does anyone recognise this problem? | 20:11 |

| eagles0513875 | RedLizard: or an upgrade | 20:13 |
| RedLizard | eagles0513875: a clean install | 20:13 |
| eagles0513875 | RedLizard: is this happening once u hit start install option to start loading the live cd | 20:14 |
| DaSkreech | eagles0513875: It has like 100 people in there | 20:14 |
| RedLizard | eagles0513875: squashfs errors begin before the installation | 20:14 |

| eagles0513875 | DaSkreech: what did he say wrong and nobody is talking in there | 20:14 |
| DaSkreech | RedLizard: Your Cdrom drive probably doesn't like the brand of CD | 20:14 |
| DaSkreech | timri: make some for genii | 20:15 |
| RedLizard | eagles0513875: i did a few months ago, with kubuntu 7.04 | 20:15 |

| eagles0513875 | RedLizard: did it work | 20:16 |
| eagles0513875 | RedLizard: or u run into same issue | 20:16 |
| RedLizard | DaSkreech: also, the cd autotest found no errors | 20:16 |
| DaSkreech | RedLizard: Can it run other live CDs? | 20:16 |
| DaSkreech | RedLizard: ok that's funky | 20:16 |

| soon | henrik ... DC fra SDU? | 20:16 |
| DaSkreech | and memtest checked out? | 20:16 |
| RedLizard | DaSkreech: didn't test that | 20:16 |
| DaSkreech | Run a memtest on it | 20:16 |
| RedLizard | DaSkreech: let me try | 20:16 |
| DaSkreech | that's the only other place squash can fail | 20:17 |
| RedLizard | DaSkreech: memtest found no problems | 20:17 |
| DaSkreech | You can't run a memtest that fast :-P | 20:17 |
| Ertain | Hello everyone. I'm trying to write a pack for the image viewer Ksquirrel. I've looked at a tutorial on the Ubuntu forums on how to write a pack. Though the pack was built, it doesn't contain any files. The sources can install as normal, using the "./configure", "make" , "make install" method, but it doesn't build properly. Any ideas on how to fix that? | 20:17 |
| DaSkreech | it takes like an hour | 20:17 |
| RedLizard | DaSkreech: i tried it earlier | 20:17 |
| eagles0513875 | DaSkreech: he already ran it | 20:17 |
| eagles0513875 | RedLizard: how old is ur hard drive on that machine | 20:17 |
| DaSkreech | Oh you are testing other Cds | 20:17 |
| DaSkreech | ok :) | 20:17 |
| RedLizard | DaSkreech: the other two responses where about the "other-live-cds" suggestion | 20:17 |

| eagles0513875 | ok | 20:18 |

| RedLizard | eagles0513875: "what u mean its the default problem when you're otherwise unable to find anything" i mean that if you're unable to find any problems, but it still doesn't work, it's usually the ram or the motherboard | 20:33 |
| eagles0513875 | that is why i said try another stick of ram to see then if its for certain the mother board cuz it could be just bad stick of ram | 20:33 |

| profoX` | why was the smooth scrolling in kopete removed from the contact list? was it a kubuntu or upstream kde decision? | 20:34 |
| profoX` | i would rather have smooth scrolling like that everywhere :) with an enable/disable option in kcontrol | 20:34 |
| emilsedgh | profoX`: upstream kde decision | 20:35 |
| emilsedgh | profoX`: it was using many power resources | 20:35 |
| === henrik_ is now known as hl-dk | ||
| eagles0513875 | RedLizard: u think the processor is still good if the motherboard is bad | 20:35 |
| profoX` | emilsedgh: really? never noticed anything like that and I don't really have a powerful pc either | 20:36 |
| profoX` | why not make it an option instead of removing it then | 20:36 |
| emilsedgh | profoX`: it was very bad for laptops, was wasting battery | 20:36 |
| profoX` | emilsedgh: it can't possible matter that much, my CPU usage didn't really go up that much using the smooth scroll.. but still, an option would've been nice for those who really cared about that | 20:37 |
| emilsedgh | profoX`: well, i wanted an option for that too, but i prefer that goes to a widget style, to be enabled everywhere | 20:37 |
| eagles0513875 | !upstream | 20:37 |

| profoX` | but I'm in the wrong channel for that of course | 20:38 |
| Ertain | Hello once again, everyone. | 20:38 |
| emilsedgh | profoX`: domino widget style has such thing i think...but thats not smooth as kopete's | 20:38 |
| DaSkreech | profoX`: Upstream | 20:38 |
| DaSkreech | it was waking the CPU every 1/2 second or something | 20:38 |
| profoX` | DaSkreech: aah yes, a lot of timers, thats true | 20:39 |
| profoX` | DaSkreech: but still, I really miss the darn thing :P | 20:39 |
| DaSkreech | profoX`: It will be rethought and brought back in KDE4 | 20:39 |
| profoX` | emilsedgh: really? that would be a bit strange | 20:39 |
| DaSkreech | eagles0513875 Why are you looking for upstream ? :) | 20:39 |
| emilsedgh | darkphader: really?! it will? | 20:40 |
| DaSkreech | Hi Ertain | 20:40 |
| eagles0513875 | DaSkreech: wondering what it does | 20:40 |
| emilsedgh | ah | 20:40 |
| profoX` | DaSkreech: only in kopete? it would be nice if it would be reworked as a global configurable option in kcontrol | 20:40 |
| emilsedgh | dasKreech: it will? | 20:40 |
| DaSkreech | eagles0513875: they code the application | 20:40 |
| DaSkreech | profoX`: Yeah but Kopete was the offending app | 20:40 |
| eagles0513875 | they code what app | 20:40 |
| DaSkreech | eagles0513875: Any app | 20:40 |
| eagles0513875 | ahh | 20:40 |

| eagles0513875 | profoX`: what language do u do alot of ur programming in | 20:41 |
| DaSkreech | Everytime they put out a new Konqui then kubuntu has to reapply the code | 20:41 |
| profoX` | eagles0513875: me? C++/Qt4, sometimes Python/Qt4 | 20:42 |
| eagles0513875 | ahhh ok | 20:42 |
| eagles0513875 | profoX`: no java | 20:42 |
| DaSkreech | if they sail the code upstream to the Konqueror project then all distros get the change and Kubuntu doesn't have to do it everytime | 20:42 |
| profoX` | eagles0513875: I do not like Java myself | 20:42 |
| DaSkreech | Ertain: Which package ? | 20:42 |
| profoX` | nothing but trouble, and it looks bad unless you use special libraries | 20:42 |
| profoX` | and I don't like the virtual machine system | 20:42 |
| eagles0513875 | profoX`: what language do u think i should learn next after java | 20:42 |
| eagles0513875 | profoX`: r u talking about the swing lib | 20:42 |

| DaSkreech | Ertain: repackage ? | 20:44 |
| profoX` | eagles0513875: C++ is a logical step up from Java though, and good if you want to develop for KDE :) because KDE consists out of C++ in combination with the Qt library for the most part | 20:44 |

| eagles0513875 | DaSkreech: ya for embedded platforms i found and google has one for mobile devices | 20:45 |
| profoX` | some apps also Python/Qt.. Python is flexible and you don't have to compile stuff.. so it's rather nice too.. it's not as low level as C++ though | 20:45 |

| profoX` | i tried to write a driver + userspace tool once for some special flash card device ;) | 20:49 |
| profoX` | didn''t really work out | 20:49 |
| RedLizard | eagles0513875: i sense C here as a nice next language to learn | 20:49 |
| eagles0513875 | RedLizard: or c++ | 20:49 |
| DaSkreech | eagles0513875: Eh? Why don't you take a clustering OS and use that? | 20:49 |
| profoX` | C if you want to do kernel development yes | 20:49 |
| profoX` | C++ if you want to do KDE development | 20:49 |
| eagles0513875 | profoX`: ok kool | 20:49 |
| RedLizard | eagles0513875: you can't learn c++ without learning C first | 20:49 |
| affan | hi all.... I am able to connect to the internet with manual IP configuration but not when I change that to DHCP in the network configuration... any ideas? | 20:49 |
| eagles0513875 | profoX`: what bout pkg dev | 20:49 |
| profoX` | RedLizard: what's that ? that's not right at all | 20:49 |
| profoX` | RedLizard: of course you can.. | 20:50 |
| eagles0513875 | i was teaching myself visual c++ before i started java | 20:50 |
| RedLizard | eagles0513875: btw: update: known-good ram, same problem | 20:50 |
| eagles0513875 | i never finished though | 20:50 |
| DaSkreech | affan: can you ping your gateway ? | 20:50 |
| RedLizard | profoX`: given that C is a subset of c++, learning c++ implies learning C | 20:50 |
| Ertain | Yes. I can't find an Ubuntu package for Ksquirrel 0.7.3. | 20:50 |
| eagles0513875 | RedLizard: then that comp is trash unless u want to fork out some money to buy a replacement mobo | 20:50 |
| profoX` | eagles0513875: package dev? what do you mean? | 20:50 |
| eagles0513875 | package development and maintenence | 20:50 |
| profoX` | RedLizard: not really, if you learn C++ you will of course learn some C stuff too, but in itself you don't need to learn to program apps in C before you can program in C++ | 20:51 |
| thomas_newbie__ | is there a way i can sort files by their i-node? | 20:51 |
| DaSkreech | !packaging | 20:51 |
| ubotu | The packaging guide is at http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/index.html - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/New for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DeveloperResources - See also !backports | 20:51 |
| DaSkreech | Ertain: ^^^ | 20:51 |
| DaSkreech | First link should help | 20:51 |
| RedLizard | profoX`: i meant learning the core of c and what makes it different from other languages, not necessarily writing significant programs in it | 20:51 |
| eagles0513875 | c and c++ as well as java are all object oriented programming no | 20:52 |
| RedLizard | eagles0513875: nah, i just needed a quick box for a quick project | 20:52 |
| profoX` | RedLizard: well, I beg to differ.. you can just as easily learn that in C++ :) | 20:52 |
| eagles0513875 | RedLizard: ahhh ok i need a dev machine ovr here | 20:52 |
| eagles0513875 | but taht i have to ship ovr with some of my own stuff when i go back in xmas | 20:52 |
| profoX` | you'll automatically learn some "core C stuff" of course, but a good C++ tutorial will make that transparent | 20:52 |
| thomas_newbie__ | is there a way i can sort files by their i-node? | 20:52 |
| profoX` | (or book) | 20:53 |
| Ertain | Cool | 20:53 |
| RedLizard | eagles0513875: so... use vmware player for an instant dev machine ;) | 20:53 |
| * Ertain checks the guide. | 20:53 | |
| DaSkreech | eagles0513875: C isn't OO | 20:53 |
| thomas_newbie__ | like in console | 20:53 |
| eagles0513875 | RedLizard: im on a laptop lol | 20:54 |
| RedLizard | eagles0513875: and? | 20:54 |
| eagles0513875 | performance on this thing isnt the greatest | 20:54 |
| eagles0513875 | my desktop is more of a beast | 20:54 |
| === genii_ is now known as genii | ||
| eagles0513875 | and for me its more java dev | 20:54 |
| DaSkreech | thomas_newbie__: ls -i | sort | 20:55 |
| RedLizard | profoX`: yes, you have a point | 20:55 |
| eagles0513875 | RedLizard: i can only ahve a max of 2gb of ram on my desktop besides being able to have a 64bit os i can have up to 8gb of pc3200 | 20:55 |
| profoX` | RedLizard: well I talk from experience, I never really learned C myself.. :P | 20:56 |
| RedLizard | profoX`: well, that's a strong piece of evidence | 20:56 |
| profoX` | lol | 20:56 |
| profoX` | not really, but, well | 20:57 |
| eagles0513875 | lol | 20:57 |
| eagles0513875 | i love java but it pisses me off when im learning new stuff | 20:57 |
| thomas_newbie__ | DaSkreech: ok thanks, i tried it but I don't get why does it know to sort the i-nodes? | 20:58 |
| profoX` | eagles0513875: I love the Qt toolkit :) | 20:58 |
| DaSkreech | thomas_newbie__: read the man for sort | 20:58 |
| profoX` | it is sooo flexible, and sooo cross-platform | 20:58 |
| thomas_newbie__ | DaSkreech: lol i did | 20:58 |
| DaSkreech | thomas_newbie__: in a konqueror window type man:/sort | 20:58 |
| eagles0513875 | profoX`: what is it | 20:59 |
| eagles0513875 | profoX`: whats the name of the pkg | 20:59 |
| profoX` | eagles0513875: umm.. well.. libqt4-dev I guess, for the qt 4 development libraries | 20:59 |
| eagles0513875 | profoX`: is there an ide | 21:00 |
| profoX` | eagles0513875: it's a library you can use in combination with C++ or Python, or even Java for that matter ;) | 21:00 |
| profoX` | so pick your own IDE | 21:00 |
| profoX` | I use KDevelop | 21:00 |
| eagles0513875 | profoX`: really | 21:00 |
| eagles0513875 | so just that lib and i can use it | 21:00 |
| profoX` | more or less | 21:01 |
| profoX` | find some documentation/guide | 21:01 |
| profoX` | :) | 21:01 |
| eagles0513875 | profoX`: i think im goign to focus on java for the time being | 21:01 |
| eagles0513875 | im actually struggling with drawing graphics like cubes and what not | 21:01 |
| RedLizard | eagles0513875: in 3d i assume? | 21:02 |
| profoX` | well, OpenGL is the only real option for that | 21:02 |
| eagles0513875 | RedLizard: ya using coordinates | 21:02 |
| profoX` | how to implement it is another thing | 21:02 |
| eagles0513875 | when it comes to me and drawing i wouldnt be able to draw anythign that would save my life | 21:02 |
| profoX` | you can use raw OpenGL or some libraries that does the work for you but is less advanced | 21:02 |
| eagles0513875 | profoX`: not there yet lol | 21:03 |
| eagles0513875 | proq | 21:03 |
| profoX` | Qt can do some nice simple animation stuff with OpenGL acceleration :) | 21:03 |
| eagles0513875 | profoX`: i just need to learn what parts of the java code do what | 21:03 |
| profoX` | and it has a QGLWidget | 21:03 |
| RedLizard | eagles0513875: no, that's not enough | 21:03 |
| eagles0513875 | RedLizard: ? | 21:03 |
| RedLizard | eagles0513875: you need to know quite a bit of theory to properly use 3d libraries | 21:03 |
| profoX` | although for real full 3D games you'll probably want to use something else than Qt | 21:03 |
| profoX` | (something like SDL + a good sound library + OpenGL) | 21:03 |
| eagles0513875 | RedLizard: im making these 3 d shapes line by line | 21:04 |
| RedLizard | i'm afraid you won't get very far in 3d graphics without quite a bit of theoretic background | 21:05 |
| eagles0513875 | RedLizard: i know i really wanna learn how to use blender | 21:10 |

| Romina | can you recommend using firefox-3.0 ? | 21:11 |
| eagles0513875 | Romina: there is firefox3 which if i saw correctly is dev | 21:11 |
| ScorpKing | hehe dappermuis. still good. :) | 21:11 |

| Romina | does someone stick to or stick with something? | 21:12 |
| eagles0513875 | even though .9 is out | 21:12 |

| Agent_bob | ? | 21:43 |
| Agent_bob | grub issue: i have linux on hda6 and M$ on hda5 grub boots linux just fine but when i select hda5 it errors with "Error 12: Invalid device requested" ??? | 21:43 |
| pault | goop2: i erred with saying gl games, it just happens with action games such as opena arena, oolite, doom, etc | 21:43 |
| MagicCow | Is there a way to configure ksudo in such a way that I don't have to keep entering passwords to modify any aspect of my system? | 21:44 |
| DarkLegacy | Yes! Now we are getting somewhere! | 21:44 |
| DarkLegacy | Gparted successfully detected my RAID-0 array! | 21:44 |
| DarkLegacy | :D :D :D | 21:44 |
| DaSkreech | Agent_bob: Sounds like grub was set up wrong | 21:44 |
| pault | agent_bob: i can only think that there is no boot sector on hda5, but thatś a guess | 21:44 |
| Goop2 | pault: found what I asume is a guitar hero knockoff, so I guess it sort of fits in that category.. I cant play it to find out though :\ | 21:45 |
| Agent_bob | MagicCow sure, you can make root jr. full root if you like. but root jr. is already too permiscuess imo | 21:45 |
| === krughanh is now known as Tuxulin-Nux | ||
| MagicCow | Why is it so dangerous to log in as root? | 21:45 |
| Goop2 | pault: to think before I uped to gutsy I was playing RCT | 21:46 |
| Agent_bob | pault whouldn't happen to know the exact sector size and location would you ? i could dd it from hda1 and make sure | 21:46 |
| DaSkreech | MagicCow: Sure easy | 21:46 |
| DaSkreech | MagicCow: Why would you want to? :) | 21:47 |
| MagicCow | I just get tired of entering my password on a constant basis. | 21:47 |
| Agent_bob | MagicCow because then you have windows and not linux as far as security/antivirus/antimalware goes | 21:47 |
| MagicCow | If I want to change my resolution than I should be able to without entering a pass. | 21:47 |
| pault | Agent_bob: no, I really don´t know how your set up. you could end up nuking your M$ (a pity?) | 21:47 |
| DarkLegacy | Ok guys | 21:47 |
| DarkLegacy | Partioning time | 21:47 |
| DarkLegacy | What is ext2? | 21:47 |
| DaSkreech | !ext2 | 21:48 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 21:48 |
| DaSkreech | :-P | 21:48 |
| MagicCow | Agent_bob: I guess.. I just never had a problem with any of that stuff in windows. | 21:48 |
| DarkLegacy | I think I need ext3 for boot partition on Linux, and then linux-swap? | 21:48 |
| DaSkreech | MagicCow: You can setit up to have a timeout would that help? | 21:48 |
| pault | DarkLegacy: ext2 is the file system, superseded by ext3, which is journalled | 21:48 |
| Agent_bob | !virus > MagicCow | 21:48 |
| DaSkreech | DarkLegacy: You don't "need" but yes it's nice :) | 21:48 |
| DarkLegacy | So which is recommended for the boot partition? | 21:48 |
| DarkLegacy | Ext3? | 21:48 |
| DaSkreech | yup | 21:49 |
| DarkLegacy | Ok and for swap drive, linux-swap? | 21:49 |
| DarkLegacy | Is swap even needed with 2GB of ram? | 21:49 |
| DaSkreech | DarkLegacy: No but you can toss in a few hundred megs if you want | 21:49 |
| DarkLegacy | Ok, because I left very little space on my HDD for Linux | 21:50 |
| DarkLegacy | Somewhere around 11GB | 21:50 |
| pault | DarkLegacy: they used to recommend 2x to 3x your physical ram - ha ha | 21:50 |
| DarkLegacy | LOL | 21:50 |
| DarkLegacy | My swap in Win is 6GB | 21:50 |
| DarkLegacy | :( | 21:50 |
| DaSkreech | DarkLegacy: oooh that's close :) | 21:50 |
| DarkLegacy | Ok, so let's try | 21:51 |
| DarkLegacy | ext3 = 10 GB | 21:51 |
| DarkLegacy | linux_swap = 1 GB | 21:51 |
| DarkLegacy | Will that work? | 21:51 |
| pault | yes | 21:51 |
| Agent_bob | MagicCow adding your user to the sudo(ers) group will make it passwordless as well as editing the sudoers file and making it say %admin ALL=<blah> NOPASSWD:<blah> the NOPASSWD makes it passwordless too | 21:51 |
| pault | DarkLegacy: my Kubuntu partition uses 6.7Gb after installing extra software | 21:52 |
| DarkLegacy | :( | 21:52 |
| Agent_bob | but again you should read about privledge seperation and the reason that linux doesn't have a virus problem i think ubotu sent you a link | 21:52 |
| DarkLegacy | There | 21:52 |
| DarkLegacy | 10 GiB partition created, ext3 | 21:52 |
| DarkLegacy | 1.52 GiB swap | 21:53 |
| DarkLegacy | Yeah, it just failed. | 21:53 |
| DarkLegacy | It doesn't say why | 21:54 |
| ScorpKing | i still get only text with usplash and i can't find the boot messages in the log files. any ideas? | 21:54 |
| genii | Agent_bob: in /etc/sudoers <username> ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL instead of groupname like %admin will allow just that 1 username to operate without password auth for sudo. | 21:54 |
| DarkLegacy | "create new ext3 filesystem" failure | 21:54 |
| pault | DarkLegacy: try with a smaller swap partition? | 21:54 |

| DarkLegacy | It is failing | 21:55 |
| Agent_bob | genii i wouldn't recommend : ALL but yes | 21:55 |
| DarkLegacy | It created the blank 10 GB | 21:55 |
| DarkLegacy | But doesn't want to format to ext3 | 21:55 |
| DaSkreech | DarkLegacy: Woah 2 GB for swap ? | 21:55 |
| DarkLegacy | 1 gb | 21:55 |
| DarkLegacy | Why does it fail to format the drive? | 21:56 |
| Agent_bob | genii you might as well tell them to just set root login it's no safer... ;/ | 21:56 |
| sam1337 | With lvm can I move a volume group from one hdd to another? | 21:56 |
| Agent_bob | thomas_newbie__ you'll have to ask in the channel, i'm not regestered any more. | 21:57 |
| thomas_newbie__ | :S | 21:57 |
| genii | Agent_bob: Ideally there would be a long list of cmnd_alias in there disallowing passwd vipw and some others of course. | 21:57 |
| DaSkreech | That's what I have and I'm ok except for strigi | 21:57 |
| DaSkreech | sam1337: yes | 21:57 |
| otto_ | hi, just switched from ubuntu to kubuntu, works great (much faster)! but have a question about konqueror | 21:58 |
| nosrednaekim | otto_: go ahead.. | 21:58 |
| Agent_bob | genii yes, ideally :ALL would be replaced with : %user_commands and that would expand into the long list :) | 21:58 |
| otto_ | it won't load any webpage!? | 21:58 |
| sam1337 | "sudo vgrename Debian vg0" reports "Volume group "Debian" still has active LVs" how do I circumvent this? | 21:59 |
| nosrednaekim | otto_: thats a problem with knetworkmanager | 21:59 |
| otto_ | ok, should I disable it?? | 21:59 |
| pault | DarkLegacy: itś usually a two stage process to create a file system - create a linux partition, and then format it with a file system such as ext3 | 21:59 |
| nosrednaekim | otto_: if you don't have wireless, yes | 21:59 |
| DarkLegacy | I see | 22:00 |
| DarkLegacy | Why does it fail to format it with the filesystem, however? | 22:00 |
| Agent_bob | heh. my /etc/sudoers has only one line in it. ALL ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD:ALL | 22:00 |
| sam1337 | lol | 22:00 |
| nosrednaekim | :D | 22:00 |
| DaSkreech | thomas_newbie__: Don't make faces in here! | 22:00 |
| nosrednaekim | thats dumb! | 22:00 |
| otto_ | it works! | 22:00 |
| sam1337 | You need to sort that out Agent_bob. | 22:00 |
| otto_ | thanks for the quick help!! | 22:01 |

| Rukus- | hi when i type in ndiswrapper | 22:02 |
| pault | if you do fdisk -l as root, itĺl list your partitions and their types | 22:03 |
| Rukus- | err | 22:03 |
| Rukus- | when i type in sudo modprobe ndiswrapper it doesnt work | 22:03 |
| Rukus- | i already chcked if driver installed properly and it is | 22:03 |
| Rukus- | says it cannot find ndiswrapper.ko | 22:04 |
| nosrednaekim | otto_: do you see anything missing in kubuntu? any other problems? | 22:04 |
| pault | DarkLegacy: did you have to specify a mount point for the new filesystem? | 22:04 |
| nosrednaekim | Rukus-: how did you install ndiswrapper? | 22:05 |
| Agent_bob | pault sudo fdisk -l or you may need to specify the device | 22:05 |
| Rukus- | i used adept manager | 22:06 |
| DarkLegacy | Ok so if | 22:06 |
| DarkLegacy | GParted creates the blank partitions | 22:06 |
| DarkLegacy | But fails to format them | 22:06 |
| DarkLegacy | Can't I simply use | 22:06 |
| DarkLegacy | mkfs to do it? | 22:06 |
| pault | Agent_bob: sudo su :) | 22:06 |
| Agent_bob | or sudo -i | 22:06 |
| Agent_bob | :) | 22:06 |
| pault | DarkLegacy: mke2fs -j /dev/h?? will make an ext3 partition | 22:07 |
| nosrednaekim | Rukus-: did you do this while running your current kernel? | 22:07 |
| Rukus- | umm... yes? | 22:07 |
| Rukus- | i dont know what u mean | 22:07 |
| sam1337 | What type of lvm encryption does gutsy use? | 22:07 |
| Agent_bob | ok if bios is not reading the extenxed partition correctly then will that prevent grub from booting a logical drive within the extended partition ? | 22:07 |
| sam1337 | is it dm-crypt? | 22:07 |
| pault | Agent_bob: i didnt know sudo -i, ta | 22:08 |
| Agent_bob | np | 22:08 |
| DarkLegacy | Yeah | 22:09 |
| DarkLegacy | It's a raid partition | 22:09 |
| DarkLegacy | So would it be | 22:09 |
| Agent_bob | pault it's the official ubuntu way to achieve root shell FYI | 22:09 |
| DarkLegacy | mke2fs -j /dev/mapper/nvidia_bbefgidh7 (newest created) ? | 22:09 |
| nosrednaekim | Rukus-: sorry, I have to go.. | 22:09 |
| Rukus- | oh | 22:09 |
| Rukus- | k thanks anyways i guess | 22:09 |
| nosrednaekim | Rukus-: look into compiling it yourself... it ussually works better than way, and you get a newer version | 22:10 |
| DarkLegacy | Hmm | 22:10 |
| pault | DarkLegacy: if thatś the right partition, then your command is correct, but i know nothing about raid. | 22:10 |
| DarkLegacy | Succesfully created me thinks | 22:10 |
| DarkLegacy | Yes, it is correct | 22:10 |
| Rukus- | ok... | 22:10 |
| DarkLegacy | Because I wrote down all of the paritions before | 22:10 |
| DarkLegacy | And this is the latest | 22:10 |
| DarkLegacy | Just made with Gparte | 22:10 |
| DarkLegacy | Now let me check in gparted to see if it made it ext3 | 22:10 |
| DarkLegacy | because it went through with the format | 22:10 |
| DarkLegacy | EXCELLENT! | 22:10 |
| DarkLegacy | IT WENT THROUGH! | 22:10 |
| DarkLegacy | You are a godsend | 22:10 |
| DarkLegacy | Now, what is the command to format with linux_swap? | 22:11 |
| Agent_bob | mkswap | 22:11 |
| DaSkreech | Rukus-: What's the issue? | 22:11 |
| DarkLegacy | mkswap | 22:11 |

| DarkLegacy | mkswap adn then <device_name> ? | 22:11 |
| Agent_bob | yep | 22:11 |

| DarkLegacy | Hmm | 22:19 |
| DarkLegacy | We hit another brick wall | 22:19 |
| DarkLegacy | "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu." | 22:19 |
| DarkLegacy | I just checked which one | 22:19 |
| DarkLegacy | I selected it and pushed next | 22:19 |
| pault | DarkLegacy: did that fix it? | 22:20 |
| DarkLegacy | no | 22:20 |
| DarkLegacy | wtf | 22:20 |
| sMonk | Here's my problem.. I was running Vista on a SATA 320gb drive, for some reason it installed it's MBR on my IDE 150gb drive, when I went to install Kubuntu I had a small over sight with GRUB (it erased vista's MBR) I thought, no problem, I poped in the Vista recover DVD and blammo, it cannot find the Hard drives, nor can it seem to fix the MBR (I tried the bootrec.exe /fixmbr and /fixboot) the /fixmbr says it worked then the | 22:21 |
| sMonk | /fixboot fails saying there is no drive.. then I can't boot linux, so I have to recover that. | 22:21 |
| sMonk | so now I'm stuck.. my wife want vista back... and I want my Kubuntu.. and for some dang reason I cant seem to trick GRUB into booting it. | 22:22 |
| DarkLegacy | Why does it keep saying no root file system is defined | 22:23 |
| DarkLegacy | I just picked the partition | 22:23 |
| Agent_bob | sMonk possable better help in ##windows we might be able to fir grub for you. but vesta i wont even try. | 22:23 |
| pault | DarkLegacy: sMonk: you probably overwrote your grub boot mbr when you used vista bootrec.exe | 22:24 |
| DarkLegacy | Ok | 22:24 |
| DarkLegacy | I get it now | 22:24 |
| DarkLegacy | I need to set all of the previous partitions to dontuse | 22:24 |
| sMonk | yes.. and I fixed grub | 22:25 |
| sMonk | I re-installed it | 22:25 |
| sMonk | but I still can't boot Vista | 22:25 |
| DaSkreech | sMonk: recovery and then type fixboot | 22:25 |
| sMonk | fixboot fails | 22:26 |
| tuxwulf | Could be grub prob | 22:26 |

| dappermuis | Felase, does that bug describe the problems you're having? | 22:53 |
| Felase | dappermuis: no, when i successfully connect i stay connected | 22:53 |
| Felase | dappermuis: it's trying to connect that's the problem | 22:54 |
| dappermuis | Felase, ah ok...for me sometimes I can connect and sometime I can't. When I can't i have to restart :/ | 22:54 |
| Felase | dappermuis: usually i can connect after staying connected to the wired network for some time | 22:55 |
| dappermuis | Felase: hmmm, interesting - well there are definitely some bugs in the wireless code, since i had no problems in edgy nor in feisty | 22:56 |
| Felase | dappermuis: i'm still in feisty | 22:57 |
| DarkLegacy | Wow | 22:57 |
| DarkLegacy | I can't believe it | 22:57 |
| DarkLegacy | I manually installed Grub | 22:57 |
| DarkLegacy | I'm going to double-check everything and then hopefully reboot | 22:57 |
| Felase | dappermuis: brb, trying something | 22:57 |
| DarkLegacy | And if I didn't fuck up somewhere, my machine will still work | 22:57 |
| dappermuis | Felase, oh - thats a completely different case then | 22:57 |
| Felase | dappermuis: oh ok | 22:57 |

| hdevalence | How do I add an application to start every time I log in? | 23:02 |
| DaSkreech | !autostart | hdevalence | 23:04 |
| ubotu | hdevalence: To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. | 23:04 |
| DaSkreech | !ohmy | DarkLegacy | 23:04 |
| ubotu | DarkLegacy: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly. | 23:04 |
| tuxwulf | Anyone know how to prevent those Kopete msgs when someone changes status and etc ...? | 23:04 |
| DaSkreech | tuxwulf: Notifications I think | 23:05 |
| tuxwulf | DaSk > Yeah, I found that, but nothing I check or uncheck seems to work.... | 23:05 |
| BluesKaj | hdevalence, kdesu konqueror /usr/share/autostart | 23:06 |
| TimS | Oh crap, I was updating and now it sais theres 7 hours to go, but I have to go out and I keep getting such as service could not be installed | 23:07 |
| tuxwulf | DaSk > Oh... THERE.. I thnk I found it... | 23:07 |
| hdevalence | In the kcontrol module, it says : Run On [Startup|Shutdown|ENV] | 23:09 |
| hdevalence | what is ENV? | 23:09 |
| tuxwulf | DaSk> There is more than one screen with notifications.... | 23:09 |
| tuxwulf | DaSk > And they are called "Passive Windows", it sees... | 23:10 |
| hdevalence | I want to make sure katapult / yakuake / etc... are always running, but if I save a session and then log in again, will I get 2 instances of katapult? | 23:10 |
| DarkLegacy | Grub config done | 23:11 |
| DarkLegacy | Now, would I also need to install Nvidia drivers | 23:11 |
| DarkLegacy | Given that I've got an 8800GTS? | 23:11 |
| TimS | !info libslang2 | 23:11 |
| ubotu | libslang2: The S-Lang programming library - runtime version. In component main, is required. Version 2.0.7-2 (gutsy), package size 416 kB, installed size 1060 kB | 23:12 |
| DarkLegacy | nvidia-glx-new ? | 23:12 |
| tuxwulf | DaSk > Thanks! | 23:12 |
| DarkLegacy | I'll install it for good measure | 23:12 |
| DaSkreech | tuxwulf: got it/ | 23:13 |
| DaSkreech | ? | 23:13 |
| DaSkreech | !tab | tuxwulf | 23:14 |
| ubotu | tuxwulf: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 23:14 |
| DarkLegacy | Ok here we go | 23:14 |
| DarkLegacy | RAID-0 Partitions created | 23:14 |

| * DaSkreech sheds a taer and Kries | 23:14 | |
| Felase | How do i sudo i gui app? | 23:15 |
| TimS | How can I use a partition manager, probably one from a Knoppix live CD to take the /home and put it on a seperate partition, then Install Kubuntu onto a different one | 23:15 |
| DaSkreech | !kdesu | Felase | 23:15 |
| ubotu | Felase: In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 23:15 |
| DaSkreech | TimS: how are you setup now ? | 23:15 |
| Felase | thx DaSkreech | 23:16 |
| TimS | DaSkreech: Well, I am on 7.04 all onb one partition, and Distribution Upgrader has just given up, so I think I'm done for, its borked | 23:16 |
| DaSkreech | TimS: Well you use gparted or qtpaerted (or parted) to make a partition large enough to hold /home and then mount it and move the data across | 23:17 |
| tuxwulf | ubotu > Yes, I a new here ... Not familiar with irc..Why are some msgs in red? | 23:17 |
| TimS | Da | 23:17 |
| DaSkreech | tuxwulf: Cause I said your name | 23:17 |
| TimS | DaSkreech: Can I do that in a live disk? | 23:17 |
| DaSkreech | no name | 23:17 |
| Felase | is there another way to connect to networks apart from knetworkmanager? | 23:17 |
| DaSkreech | tuxwulf name | 23:17 |
| DaSkreech | no name | 23:17 |
| DaSkreech | tuxwulf: name | 23:17 |
| DaSkreech | TimS: sure | 23:18 |
| tuxwulf | Ooooooh ... ok! | 23:18 |
| tuxwulf | Ah, hence the TAB shortcut... | 23:18 |
| DaSkreech | Felase: Kill knetworkmanger and normal kernel spavce drivers will take over | 23:18 |
| DaSkreech | tuxwulf: Yup | 23:18 |
| TimS | DaSkreech: I dont suppose there are instructions anywhere or if possible you could write some out, its just this PC is going down ina couple of mins, SO ill loose everything | 23:18 |

| DarkLegacy | It works. | 23:18 |
| DarkLegacy | I'm on Kubuntu right now. | 23:19 |
| DaSkreech | TimS: Do you know how to mount a drive ? | 23:19 |
| DarkLegacy | Dual booted, on a RAID-0 configuration. | 23:19 |
| DarkLegacy | YES! | 23:19 |
| DarkLegacy | GREAT SUCCESS! | 23:19 |
| TimS | Nope :( | 23:19 |
| DaSkreech | DarkLegacy: You left me Krying! | 23:19 |
| Rukus- | VERY NICE | 23:19 |
| DarkLegacy | :D | 23:19 |
| DaSkreech | TimS: What live Cd is it? | 23:19 |
| Rukus- | I LIKE | 23:19 |
| * DarkLegacy high-fives the entire room | 23:19 | |
| TimS | DaSkreech: Probably Knoppix as it is most likely to have qparted | 23:19 |
| DaSkreech | TimS: which version ? | 23:20 |
| DarkLegacy | Ok, time to install Compiz :) | 23:20 |
| TimS | 5.10 | 23:20 |
| Felase | DaSkreech: but if knetworkmanager isn't running, how do i start a connection in the console for instance | 23:20 |
| DaSkreech | !compiz | DarkLegacy | 23:20 |
| ubotu | DarkLegacy: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 23:20 |

| DaSkreech | Felase: is it DHCP ? | 23:20 |
| DaSkreech | TimS: Ok should have a good irc client | 23:20 |
| Felase | DaSkreech: yes | 23:20 |
| TimS | :D | 23:20 |
| DaSkreech | Just come online and join us back here | 23:20 |
| DaSkreech | TimS: You know how to do that? | 23:21 |
| DaSkreech | Felase: Should pick it up automatically | 23:21 |
| DaSkreech | Felase: If not then sudo dhclient from the command line | 23:21 |
| TimS | Okay, and When I install Kubuntu it will be able to talk to a preexisting Home directory and put new files in where needed and leave old files, like IRC logs where they are DaSkreech? | 23:21 |
| Felase | DaSkreech: what about wireless networks? | 23:21 |
| DaSkreech | TimS: yes | 23:21 |
| TimS | :D | 23:21 |
| wesley | is (k)ubuntu the only linux distro that shipas free cd,s? | 23:21 |
| TimS | I am happy now | 23:21 |
| DaSkreech | Felase: That's more of a non-front pain | 23:22 |
| DaSkreech | wesley: No check distrowatch | 23:22 |
| ardchoille | wesley: kubuntu and ubuntu | 23:22 |
| wesley | yes i meaned if there are that ships free and not of the ubuntu family | 23:22 |
| DaSkreech | What do you mean "ships" ? | 23:23 |
| crazy6 | I was trying to play with some parameters in the SYstem Settings panel trying to get my laptop to work witha projector, but now that I reboot I can't get back to my super-high resolution (1920xsomething) | 23:27 |
| DarkLegacy | Hmmm | 23:28 |
| DarkLegacy | I did everything for Compiz | 23:28 |
| DarkLegacy | But! | 23:28 |
| DarkLegacy | I don't have XGL installed | 23:28 |
| DarkLegacy | Checking for XGL: not present | 23:28 |
| DarkLegacy | No whitelisted driver found | 23:28 |
| DarkLegacy | Oh, I didn't enable my nvidia driver | 23:28 |
| DarkLegacy | Makes sense | 23:28 |
| DarkLegacy | Ok | 23:29 |
| diomedes | crazy i found the display tool useless, i had to write my own xorg.conf to get my dual displays working correctly and with the right resolutions | 23:29 |
| DarkLegacy | How do I restart X server? | 23:29 |
| diomedes | if its not running just type startx from the shell | 23:29 |
| DarkLegacy | X is running, I need to restart it | 23:29 |
| ardchoille | DarkLegacy: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 23:29 |
| DarkLegacy | Log out and restart X? | 23:29 |
| diomedes | to restart you can log out and use restart x from kdm | 23:30 |
| DarkLegacy | Ok | 23:30 |
| diomedes | ctrl+alt+backspace as well | 23:30 |
| ardchoille | diomedes: That is not a safe alternative | 23:30 |
| diomedes | been doing it for 10 odd years seems safe enough to me :-) | 23:31 |
| ardchoille | !worksforme | diomedes | 23:31 |
| ubotu | diomedes: 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/ | 23:31 |
| joher | salut tout le monde | 23:31 |
| ardchoille | The clean way to restart x is: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 23:31 |
| joher | sorry, hello | 23:32 |
| DarkLegacy | Hey guys | 23:33 |
| DarkLegacy | Something got REALLY screwed | 23:33 |
| DarkLegacy | I logged out | 23:33 |
| joher | ardchoille what is it kdm? | 23:33 |
| DarkLegacy | Had a black screen with orange lines and 1/4 and stuff | 23:33 |
| DarkLegacy | Then rebooted | 23:33 |
| DarkLegacy | And grub is now unable to mount my Kubuntu partition | 23:33 |
| DarkLegacy | I'm on the Windows partition ATM | 23:33 |
| DarkLegacy | WTF happened? | 23:33 |
| ardchoille | joher: kdm = Kde Display Manager | 23:33 |
| joher | ok | 23:34 |
| DarkLegacy | I didn't run ardchoilles command | 23:34 |
| DarkLegacy | I logged out after installing the Nvidia drivers | 23:34 |
| DarkLegacy | Why did it just render my partition useless? | 23:34 |
| lovre | hi all | 23:34 |
| DarkLegacy | Oh wait, I know | 23:34 |
| DarkLegacy | I think I messed with grub settings.. | 23:34 |
| DarkLegacy | Hmm | 23:34 |
| joher | lovre hi | 23:34 |
| lovre | does any1 know if the problem with bookmarks and privileges in d3lphin has been solved? (Gutsy) | 23:35 |
| BluesKaj | DarkLegacy, sounds like you need to reconfigure X | 23:35 |
| DarkLegacy | Yeah, how do I do that | 23:35 |
| DarkLegacy | If it's unable to mount partition | 23:35 |
| lovre | my USB memory stick wont automount. Does any1 know how to fix this? | 23:36 |
| ardchoille | DarkLegacy: after installing the nvidia drivers, did you run: sudo nvidia-xconfig | 23:37 |
| BluesKaj | DarkLegacy, after grub boots up choose linux then, ctl+alt+F1 , then at the tty prompt : sudo dkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 23:37 |
| joher | have you ever heard about a bug in kubuntu that kills hard-drives on laptop?? | 23:38 |
| diomedes | ardch maybe you should tell that to the people that write the docs for centos as I've seen it mentioned there a few times as well | 23:38 |
| diomedes | centos/kubuntu | 23:38 |
| ardchoille | diomedes: CentOS is a whole different distro. | 23:38 |
| wesley | where do you get the unofficial plugins for compiz fusion? | 23:39 |
| diomedes | also distro has sfa to do with it when they both run X and X has the functionality we're talking about | 23:39 |
| ardchoille | diomedes: The proper way is the command I gave. Arguing about it isn't going to change that. PErhaps this needs to go to an ot channel. | 23:40 |
