However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [00:56] or IIS instead of apache [00:57] dwidmann: Yeah, they wroked fine until I started getting an error with adept telling me that it could not commit changes because it was going to break something. I re installed dpkg and it seemed to fix it, but now I have this issue. This all started from an update a few days ago. [00:57] or windows instead of linux [00:57] ok whats a good mail client -- sick of thunderbird [00:57] so really, LAMP could mean without much change MIPR [00:57] <_Angelus_> dwidmann: i solved that too [00:57] <_Angelus_> :D [00:58] vsudilov: the best overall right now (regretfully..) is thunderbird [00:58] that i've found [00:58] dwidmann: It seems to me to be a permissions issue, but I am not sure what directory to look at [00:58] unless you want to get into the world of mutt and pine [00:58] but I don't suggest it! [00:58] now I see the Linux MCE launch manager [00:58] <_Angelus_> dwidmann: my last issue, kubutnu gutsy is not reading playstation discs, k3b is reading them but giving me sector errors, is it something to do with 64bit [00:58] t1n0m3n: sudo updatedb && locate screensaver [00:58] meh...I prefer the apple mail [00:59] I'm used to that, and I hate having to use thunderbird on this machine [00:59] yep.. and because its opensource you can install it... oh wait : [00:59] :/ [00:59] _Angelus_: I don't know, let me pop a playstation disk into my brothers (32-bit) computer and find out [00:59] where is the php library stored in ubuntu? [00:59] Avt3kk, I dunno who you're talking to but maybe this site will help : http://linuxmce.com/ [00:59] but hey, thats okay, apple is still obviously better than ms... I mean.. they used a closed version of unix instead of a closed version of their own os! [00:59] * hydrogen sgihs [00:59] could someone please tell me the difference between suspend and hibernate [01:00] suspend = to ram, hibernate = to disk [01:00] err [01:00] no [01:00] suspend = hibernate [01:00] stand by = to ram [01:00] afaik [01:00] haha [01:01] I think suspend & Hibernate are 2 diff things, im just trying to fig out which one does which [01:01] <_Angelus_> thanks dwidmann :D [01:01] !suspend [01:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:01] !hibernate [01:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about hibernate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:01] !info suspend [01:01] Package suspend does not exist in gutsy [01:02] !info-suspend [01:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about info-suspend - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:02] dumb bots [01:02] does anyone here use Windowmaker? [01:03] _Angelus_: ps1 or ps2 disk, also, were you doing anything (ie copying) that caused you to get the sector errors (so I can try to reproduce) [01:03] <_Angelus_> dwidmann: its a ps1 copied disc [01:04] <_Angelus_> not the original one [01:04] _Angelus_: well, what were you doing when it gave you the sector error? [01:05] <_Angelus_> dwidmann: as i said, when i insert a ps1 disc in my drive, kubuntu doesn't mount it, but if i open k3b , k3b reads it, when i try to make an iso from it from k3b, it gives sector errors, when i tried to run the disc from epsxe(ps1 emu) it gives errors too [01:06] What package do I need to install for Dolphin to show previews of video files? [01:06] I cant seem to find any out of the ordinary file permissions... I did re-install kscreensaver just for grins, but it doesnt seem to make a difference [01:07] _Angelus_: tried to do the copy and got errors here on my 64-bit desktop, gonna try my brothers desktop now [01:07] what is the command to switch an audio device on [01:07] (ie soundcard) [01:07] <_Angelus_> ok dwidmann [01:07] Would anyone know why "nvidia" breaks/kills my X Server, but not "nv". I have the correct nVidia driver installed; nvidia-glx-new. Also, my OpenGL screensaver doesn't work.

[01:10] draik: No.. :( [01:11] sMonk: What is your driver? Video card? [01:11] nvidia as well. [01:12] 6600 [01:12] Yup. We're both nvidia-glx-new [01:13] yup [01:15] <_Angelus_> dwidmann: that wouldn't solve my mounthing problem, i wanna mount 'em [01:19] _Angelus_: I wonder what the fstype is [01:19] <_Angelus_> dwidmann: ISO , since its a copied disc [01:20] dmesg says this [01:20] [ 3079.751045] Unable to identify CD-ROM format.

[02:03] elliott_: what error messages did you get? [02:03] No error messages, there's just no sound output [02:03] but there was before I installed it [02:03] the video driver was the only thing that changed [02:04] oh that mac ext2/3 fs thing is called ext2fsx [02:04] elliott_: have you checked the sound controls--kmix for example? [02:04] its on source forge.. [02:04] cheers biovore [02:05] Hello, I have a problem with the ACPI volume buttons on my laptop keyboard [02:05] yeah, nothing is muted [02:05] in feisty, the volume would be adjusted for the "master channel" as chosen in Kmix [02:05] but in gutsy, it seems to alway apply to the headphones [02:05] lordofthepigs: have you tried kmilo? [02:06] !kmilo [02:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about kmilo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:06] bazhang: what' kmilo? [02:06] !info kmilo [02:06] kmilo: laptop special keys support for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 66 kB, installed size 240 kB [02:07] it looks like it was installed by default [02:07] bazhang: actually the keys do work [02:07] but it always changes the volume of the "headphone" chanel [02:07] even when the sound comes out of the speakers [02:08] hey [02:08] u can choose your "master channel" [02:08] in kmix [02:08] which means that when I listen to stuff from the speakers, changing the volume using the special buttons doesn't seem to work [02:08] Rukus-: I know, and it used to work properly in feisty [02:08] hmm [02:08] io dunno man [02:09] i just spend 3 days getting ndiswrapper to work [02:09] but now, it always applies to "headphones" no matter what the master channel is [02:09] spent* [02:10] bazhang: No ideas? [02:10] elliott_: which sound mixer? [02:12] bazhang: If you're not asking what program I'm using (Kmix, etc), then I don't know what sound mixer means [02:12] elliott_: perhaps I erred--alsa, arts, etc. [02:13] bazhang how do I find out? [02:13] <_Angelus_> if i install a new dvd drive , will kubuntu automatically add an entry in fstab [02:14] elliott_: in the kmenu sound and multimedia sound system hardware [02:15] it's set to autodetect [02:16] elliott_: try some different settings perhaps [02:17] how can I change the chanel to which the latop volume buttons apply to? [02:18] hi, all [02:18] hi! [02:18] I have two strange issues after my internet connection dies midway through a Gutsy upgrade and a subsequent install from scratch. [02:20] My Ensiniq AudioPCI is not giving me any audio (and KMix and alsamixer show strange controls) and more importantly (at least for the moment0, I can't seem to connect to any IRC servers via Konversation or XChat. I'm reduced to using Mirc on my work laptop. [02:20] The error I get from Konversation is [464] Hmmm, bad password [02:20] bazhang None of the options fixed it [02:20] But I can't seem to find any passwords set. [02:21] jeff-m: have you asked at #konversation? [02:21] hola [02:21] !es | djc-pedro [02:21] djc-pedro: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda. [02:22] bazhang, I didn't know such a channel existed. I'll ask immediately. [02:29] bazhang any ideas? [02:30] I just installed, so if there's nothing i can do I can just reinstall, but I'd like to do it the right way if possible [02:30] elliott_: have you tried opening either arts or alsa in the terminal? [02:33] If i download Photoshop 7.1 will it work with wine? [02:33] yes [02:33] but whats wrong with gimp [02:33] Well i have a Photoshop class and ive gotten really good with photoshop itself [02:34] ive been with GIMP but well..it's alittle confusing [02:34] XD [02:34] holy crap [02:34] I decided to go ahead and reinstall alsa [02:35] and in the process of reinstalling, I apear to have managed to uninstall kde [02:44] <_Angelus_> how can i fix this [02:44] <_Angelus_> Firefox doesn't know how to open this address , because the protoc(mms) isn't asociatted with any program [02:45] Hey [02:45] <_Angelus_> *protocol [02:45] Menus of WINE are using a rare FOUNT [02:45] how can i fit it? [02:45] I cant even read it [02:46] well. dolphin isn't as bad in kde4 as previously expected === alexbe01 is now known as Daisuke_Laptop [02:48] unfortunately, kde4 appears to be not at all useful yet [02:48] Daisuke_Laptop: the real dolphin is not bad at all... it's d3lphin that is [02:48] i'm hopeful that soon we'll actually get a menu for it in the repos :) [02:49] i've managed to actually get the system tray and task switcher in the bottom panel [02:49] huh? [02:49] what menu? [02:49] Jucato: no kmenu equivalent (at least not here) [02:50] kickoff has been there since beta3 [02:50] i'm using beta 3 :\ [02:50] unless there are packages i have yet to install [02:50] beta4 is nicer, more usable [02:51] * Jucato doesn't use the distro packages for kde4 [02:51] Daisuke_Laptop: check in the Add Applet program if you see an Application Launcher applet [02:51] (right-click on the desktop) [02:51] argh..so i've waited until tonight to upgrade to gutsy, having heard about all of the nightmares. I thought I was finally ready to do it..and guess what.. i'm in my own nightmare. so, i followed the official upgrade instructions, the upgrade tool seemed to work up until the point when it was 'cleaning up'.. in the process, the updater just exited, without any message of completion. Since that was the last step, i interpreted that as a [02:51] completion signal, and rebooted. Now, grub cannot find any of my listed kernels. So i'm in a feisty livecd and don't know what to do.. [02:52] Jucato: i do have that in the menu, but when i try to add it, i get "This object could not be created" [02:53] hm.. kickoff wasn't probably packaged then... :P [02:53] <|dthacker|> Hi, I've somehow lost my ability to send email after a fresh install to gutsy [02:53] not KDE's fault now [02:53] no [02:53] that's why i said i hoped we'd get it in the repos soon :) [02:53] How can I adjust brightness manually? Kubuntu stopped accepting the shortcuts on my laptop === jeff-m is now known as jeff [02:54] i'm installing all the additional kde4 packages [02:54] (utils, graphics, etc. etc.) [02:55] and when i try "engine explorer" i get "sorry, could not find the program 'plasmaAppletExplorer' === ubuntu is now known as bleaked [02:58] argh..so i've waited until tonight to upgrade to gutsy, having heard about all of the nightmares. I thought I was finally ready to do it..and guess what.. i'm in my own nightmare. so, i followed the official upgrade instructions, the upgrade tool seemed to work up until the point when it was 'cleaning up'.. in the process, the updater just exited, without any message of completion. Since that was the last step, i interpreted that as a [02:58] completion signal, and rebooted. Now, grub cannot find any of my listed kernels. So i'm in a feisty livecd and don't know what to do.. [03:01] well i thought that would take care of it :\ [03:02] bleaked: you might consider using apt-get to finish the upgrade [03:02] although no assurances it will be the best way to handle the situation [03:02] hello all. is it possible to make a root prompt red? ie "user@localhost:~$" would be "user@localhost:~$" ...ive seen it done b4 on different distros.....and im aware its a sudo based distro :-) [03:03] hero: well, should i just mount my two partitons, chroot in, and then try to finish? [03:03] bleaked: heh, what you *should* do is up in the air. i do know, though, that you don't need the graphical upgrade tool to finish [03:04] you can probably boot into the previous kernel version via grub [03:04] Hi, all. I had my internet connection drop when upgrading to Gutsy and ended up reinstalling from the Gutsy CD. Along the way, I seem to have lost my sound. KMix shows strange controls for my ensoniq audioPCI card. Same behavior from alsamixer. [03:05] !buglist [03:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about buglist - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:05] jeff__: err yeah... probably a messed up alsa conf. [03:06] jeff__: trouble is,I forgot where the config was.. [03:07] Kernel: you've been using PClinuxOS ;) [03:08] nosrednaekim: From my Mandrake (Mandriva) days, i think I remember something like sndconfig. Does that apply to Kubuntu? [03:08] nosrednaekim: indeed :-) [03:08] bazhang after a frsh install everything works, so something about that driver has to be it [03:09] jeff__: probably alsamixer or alsa conf [03:09] Kernel: yeah, I'm sure there is a way...if you still have PclinuxOS around you can just cpoy the .bashrc over. [03:10] elliott_: wow. glad to hear it--you installed that quickly? [03:10] nosrednaekim: yea. i googled and found a few examples...im now messing with it ..... :-) === stephanie_ is now known as Tyler_Durdan [03:10] Kernel: the bash howto on tldp.org is pretty good for that to, iirc [03:10] go red prompt go! [03:10] nosrednaekim: all right, I'll play with alsaconf. Thanks for the pointer. [03:11] hehe [03:11] ok ill scope it out :-) [03:11] jeff__: er... that seems not to be a command.. [03:11] jeff__: try alsamixer [03:12] alsamixer gives me the same sliders as KMix -- 3dControl - Center and 3d Control - depth are my first two, instead of the Master volume and others I would expect. [03:13] jeff__: does the sound work though? The names arerather superflous [03:14] nosrednaekim: nope. When I first installed, I got a horrible screeching through the speakers, but managed to turn that off by turning off one of the switches in KMix. [03:14] jeff__: do you have a MIC? [03:14] nosrednaekim: one of the ones labeled IEC958. [03:14] Yeah, I do have a mic. [03:15] jeff__: is that what you disabled? [03:15] so is kubuntu going to be getting kde4beta4 packages? [03:15] do you have to run the xserver-xgl to run compiz? [03:15] Daisuke_Laptop: when it has been built. heard there were FTBS problems... [03:16] No. The mic is connected but turned off. [03:17] hero: only if you have an ATI [03:17] ok [03:17] is the new gimp going to be made a backport [03:17] ah ha [03:17] just curious :) [03:18] well i think i'll leave kde4 alone for right now. [03:18] es [03:18] bazhang I've had to install before on this computer and it goes about that speed. The only issue now is being forced to use the generic driver [03:18] #kubuntu-es [03:18] hey.. is there any fixes out for the cpu maxed out problem with xorg [03:19] elliott_: you mean for the video card? you using compiz or some such? [03:20] after installing compiz, compiz-kde, etc., do you need to run any program to get it going? [03:20] I am trying to figure out how to fix my computer from running at 100% cpu [03:21] bazhang I'm not using anything that needs anything more than the generic driver, but it just bothers me [03:22] jeff__: mess around with the different channels and you'll probably figure it out :D [03:22] nosrednaekim: Thanks, looking into it [03:23] does anyone have the same problem i have with 100% maxed cpu in gutsy [03:23] elliott_: I understand the feeling. [03:24] Since upgrade to 7.10 I can't adjust screen brightness on my laptop - _and_ it is stuck on lowest :( any ideas appreciated [03:24] What's a good PDF editor for Linux? [03:24] FireTek: i did, because i was using xserver-xgl. i disabled it [03:24] MagicCow: I think OO.org can save as PDF [03:24] how do you do that [03:24] FireTek: search the bug reports at launchpad for the name of the file and such. [03:25] well, first [03:25] use the command top in a konsole [03:25] see what tops the list [03:25] if it is even xgl [03:25] htop is nice as well [03:26] well the thing is that half the time it just shows 100% usage [03:26] but nothing using [03:26] do you notice lag in screen movement? [03:26] a little [03:26] but it like completely locks up my system [03:26] hmm [03:27] FireTek: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xgl/ [03:27] it runs fine on my other system, but this lappy is dumb [03:28] FireTek: the solution is under "1:1.1.99.1~git20070727-0ubuntu2" on that page [03:28] i have to go through a huge process just to get my soundcard to work [03:28] well, it's worth a try [03:29] whats funny is that this damn laptop will run gentoo with no problems.. but wont run kubuntu or ubuntu or anything [03:29] distros have fine differences between them [03:29] so it's not that strange [03:29] frustrating, yes :) [03:29] I dont like gentoo.. i always had issues [03:29] hello... [03:30] my friend was always having to log in to my terminal and fix shit [03:30] i need some help...

[04:47] viktor, compared to the problems ive had with windows - Linux is much easier. [04:47] amen [04:47] i have wierd problems [04:47] With linux - it pays to be Verbose, concise, and precise. [04:47] like gutsy does this thing were [04:47] when i boot it say can not allocate resoruce region 7 [04:47] and again at 8 [04:47] and now with this mplayer thing [04:48] I find that by doing Clean Reinstalls - Not "upgrades" i have much fewer issues. :) [04:48] After installing Kubuntu 7.10, it won't boot except in recovery mode. How do i fix this? [04:48] prestonG: playing dvds? [04:48] thats what i did [04:48] clean [04:48] prestonG, well you need to figure out what's saying that. :) is that in the kernel messages? or somewhere else. [04:48] i did alittle reserch [04:48] I need to reinstall windows for work, but when I try to do that, it says that it cannot find a hdd. i assume that it is do to the fact that the hdd is formated for linux, but I don't know what to do about it, Any Suggestions? [04:48] umm [04:48] does 'dmesg' mention similer messages.. is it keepiong the system from booting, ect.. [04:48] where do i go find the fstab thing [04:48] i think it saves something [04:48] fstab file is /etc/fstab [04:48] when it boots [04:49] fstab file does not 'save somthing' :) [04:49] O and....i should tell you [04:49] umm [04:49] Fstab file defines what filesystems get mounted where. [04:49] i have to press [04:49] so that i can continue booting normaly [04:50] o well fstab isnt it then [04:50] what told you to hit alt-ctrl-F6? that should switch to a different console display. I dont see how that would 'continue' anything. [04:50] Dr_willis, bazhang: Can u please help me regarding that issue [04:50] well i knew that earlier....about the ctrl thing.... [04:51] so when i freshly installed gutsy (32&64) [04:51] abhra_, clarify the issue. be verbose, yet concise. [04:51] it stopped at a blank screen [04:51] so i was like wth [04:51] and started pressing buttions [04:51] low and behold ctrl alt f6 worked [04:51] linux should just become user friendly it would be the best operating system [04:52] kubuntu has bugs [04:52] some...very little [04:52] imo linux is user friendly, it just geared towards people who want to be more involved with their PCing ventures [04:52] viktor: it's getting there [04:52] i cant install anything [04:53] !repos [04:53] The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections.

[04:59] sounded to me like he tried to do somthing and trashed his system. [04:59] man....listen i appreciate u guys volunteering to help people.....but thats no way to handle things.... [04:59] Maybe he'll come back to it. [05:00] * Dr_willis kept his cool and calm. [05:00] pope: why do you want 7.04? [05:00] it's not important to convert anyone to linux [05:00] they haveto find their own path [05:00] lol [05:00] indeed [05:00] some of their paths lead to linux others don't [05:00] 7.10 won't boot but in recovery mode, and i can't seem to figure out why [05:00] Yeah, but he was just asking for help and was getting frustrated. [05:00] the way of the linux [05:00] It happened to me too. [05:00] but you were civil [05:00] MagicCow: i will say i agree with you indeed [05:00] all living beings have sudo-clorians [05:00] is there a HOWTO for installing KDE4 on kubuntu gutsy? [05:00] I punched my computer across the room because of linux. [05:00] pope: /var/log love you long time [05:01] !kde4 [05:01] KDE 4 is the next major release of the K Desktop Environment. For more information see . The Release Schedule is available at http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Schedule. Beta 3 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-beta3.php [05:01] they can harnes the power of the linux [05:01] MagicCow, odd.. only windows gets that treatment here... [05:01] ?? [05:01] MagicCow: really? [05:01] hehe [05:01] Dr_willis: I was uninformed :D [05:01] what made you stick with it? [05:01] MagicCow: then you need anger management and a copy of ubuntu for dummies :D [05:01] I had not yet purged myself of Windows "Ease" [05:01] does the computer still work? [05:02] Aye, and I fear that even that would not help me. [05:02] MagicCow: i'm curious what made you stick with it? [05:02] The Golden Differance between Linxu and windows.. "When Linux Breaks, you can research/learn/ and normally fix it; when Windows breaks, you try doing odd/random/weird things just Hopeing it will work" [05:02] :) [05:02] MagicCow: buy a support contract! [05:02] MagicCow: did you try pdfedit? [05:02] Probably the same thing that makes everyone else stick with it, it's hard to give up on computer problems. [05:02] You just want to keep doing stuff until it is fixed. [05:03] for me it was freedom [05:03] bazhang: yeah, it would not open the PDF for me. [05:03] not being a sharecropper was a very powerfull motivator [05:03] * Dr_willis trouble shoot why the Svideo out wasent working for about an hr once.. then reaized he had the svideo plugged into the wrong conector.. :) [05:03] haha [05:03] lol [05:03] i just like orange., [05:03] One end to the TV IN.. other end to the Video Card OUT.. Not the Tv Tuner.. IN.. :) [05:04] Get this.. I was trying to figure out my network problems for hours and hours, until finally I gave up and went to pull the network cable out of the back. It was never plugged in. [05:04] hehe [05:04] linux (so far for my 3 months post-ms) has been more like a hobby than an OS. Once i'm used to it, i'm sure that'll lessen. But i've enjoyed it so far [05:04] lol, [05:04] MagicCow, i trouble shoot networking onlaptop for an hr.. the network cable was 'weak' at the conector and wasent 'clicking' when it went in.. [05:04] so once i replaced the worn out cable..... [05:05] Aye, simililar to me, I remember plugging it in, it just "fell" out. [05:05] "that Tree Jumped right out in front of my Car Officer!" [05:06] is it worth trying to install kde4 on kubuntu? [05:06] corevette, proberly not at this time [05:06] still beta [05:06] corevette, if you want to test kde4 - find a live cd with it. [05:06] is kde4 still slated for december release? [05:06] not much new? [05:06] or what [05:06] when its done its done.. Use it then. :) [05:06] pope: pretty much... for now... [05:06] Are there many notable changes in KDE4? [05:07] will there be an adept update for it? [05:07] MagicCow: hm... "lots"? [05:07] MagicCow, yes there will be.. WHEN its done. :) [05:07] its a rewrite from scratch [05:07] in otehrwords everything [05:07] holycow: not 100% true [05:07] the kde theme artists are doing an amazing job too [05:07] corevette: try the livecd beta4 [05:07] Jucato:aha k. to what degree is it a rewrite then? [05:07] Hmm. [05:07] watch the kde4 vids on youtube and you'll see the massive difference (imo) [05:07] kevin_: we still haven't gotten around to how the transition will go about... wait for further news [05:07] Are the graphic effects (compiz) going to be working well? [05:07] ok [05:07] the current livecd is pretty nice [05:08] I know it's not a big deal to some.. but I like the pretty desktop stuff. [05:08] holycow: can't really give statistics. most are actually ported to Qt4 than rewritten [05:08] compiz will NOT be needed with kde4 - it has its own thang. [05:08] or so i hear. [05:08] Ah, okay. [05:08] can't wait [05:08] it does [05:08] Jucato: i thought the kde framework it self was rewritten [05:08] not just ported [05:08] can someone help me. My CPU keeps jumping to 100% usage on cpu 1 & 2 in htop [05:08] I hope it's more stable for me than compiz was.. I really enjoyed it for the couple of hours that it worked. [05:08] not sure how that kde4 stuff relates to compiz... [05:08] i read that there won't be 'panels' as we've come to know (and love) them [05:09] Dr_willis: kde has it's own composite manager now (kompmgr) and I use it for drop shaows, transparency, and other things. [05:09] pope: what do you mean panels? [05:09] and my swap is not being used.. [05:09] you mean multiple desktops? [05:09] Has anyone tried the beta, and is it pretty stable? [05:09] holycow: that's why I said not 100%. some are completely brand new from scratch, some are ported, some are the same [05:09] Jucato: ah [05:09] MagicCow: no. not yet for end-users [05:09] can someone help me. My CPU keeps jumping to 100% usage on cpu 1 & 2 in htop [05:09] the panel (or panels in my case) that are at the top and/or the bottom of your screen [05:09] like your task bar [05:09] FireTek, Swap is only used when needed.. is the rest of your memory being used? [05:09] ah [05:10] pope: oh thats in gnome [05:10] pope: in kde you will have a suped up version of panels [05:10] FireTek, What does the 'free' command say about memory ussage? [05:10] in kde4 the panels are the same as the desktop [05:10] but you will be able to have just as many as you have now [05:10] its just that in terms of them sharing code, they will also share features, anything that can be on the desktop can be on a panel and vice versa [05:11] * Dr_willis still likes his Windowmaker Warf Applets. :) [05:11] Barf? O.o [05:11] * Jucato runs and hides [05:11] grrr....i've been trying to download gimp but portage seems to enjoy screwing with me [05:11] that's why there's APT :P [05:12] gimp?

[05:17] can someone explain why debian seems so natural to use, but gentoo seems...not bad, but less smooth? [05:17] pope, thats a 'feature' of gentoo :) [05:17] It keeps out the riff-raff [05:17] use flags? [05:17] debian's aim is stability, gentoo's aim is bleeding-edge [05:17] pope: think of fastfood vs. cooking on your own [05:17] Daisuke_Ido: Gentoo's fairly stable if you stay w/in the stable tree [05:18] (like any other distro) [05:18] Fast food vs.. killing the cow, grinding the beef, building the stove.... [05:18] nah... that's LFS :P [05:18] Then realizeing you cant cook becayse you frogot the --usepropane flag [05:18] :) [05:18] hahah [05:18] hehe [05:18] LFS is 'read/cut/paste/wait/read' repeate [05:18] :) [05:18] i agree with that summary...when i realised that every package had to be downlaoded, compiled, then installed [05:19] kde only 22 hrs === hanzz_ is now known as HanzZ [05:19] pope: that's the feature (advantage/disadvantage) of source-based distros. [05:19] I used gentoo for a long time.. Till one day they had "Linux Journel" magazines in the portage tree.. that had to be 'unmasked' to get installed... [05:19] Then i got sick of it. :) [05:19] i think i would like it more (i like sabayon for lots of other reasons already) once i'm more familiar with linux as a whole [05:19] but we're not here to discuss about other distros :) [05:20] true [05:20] so will kubuntu be getting a livecd with kde4--it just seems fitting [05:20] Sabayon lasted 1 day on my machine.. :) [05:20] bazhang: yeah. that's one of the plans [05:21] does Linus Torval(spelling) just work on the kernel, or does he help develop any of the gui's or distros? [05:21] final release fingers crossed [05:21] cheers Jucato [05:21] pope, he focuses on the kernel i belive. [05:21] pope: kernel and on git [05:21] Dr_willis: don't forget the Git :P [05:21] 'git' what a name... [05:21] :) [05:21] !you git!

[05:32] Is the command even firefox32? try just firefox [05:32] is firefox32 the name of the binary? [05:32] is "firefox32" the name of the executable file? [05:32] bah he's faster... [05:32] i win! [05:33] when i typed in the konsol firefox32 it loaded [05:33] i dont even mess with 64bit disrto. :) [05:33] yea but isnt it faster?????? [05:33] no [05:33] prestonG, i doubt it. [05:33] mor processing at once [05:33] o [05:33] no [05:33] Whats the browserdoing that needs more processing... [05:34] firefox32 is the 32bit version of the browser also.. Is MY guess... [05:34] well i like to use...mupen...which i havent tested yet... [05:34] unless you have >4gb of ram, or happen to use your computer to be calculating the answer to the universe in the background, 64 bit will gain you absolutely nothing. [05:34] Hi everyone I have questions about configuring dual head monitors (I am aware of the unsupported nvidia driver issues). [05:34] Some programs may make use of 64bit sized #'s - but not a lot on a normal desktop machine will [05:34] !ask | klobster [05:34] klobster: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [05:34] and if i play with mupen wont my games run faster [05:35] ?? [05:35] with a 64 bit [05:35] kubuntu [05:35] no. [05:35] prestonG, whats mupen? [05:35] no no no. [05:35] !twinview | klobster [05:35] klobster: xinerama is an extension to !X to use two or more physical displays as one large virtual display. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XineramaHowTo - See also !DualHead [05:35] I use twinview all the time. :) [05:35] I need to know if it is possible to set up a cloned view of my monitor to a widescreen and have the crt monitor pan the the larger image (like a virtual screen size?) [05:35] using it right now in fact. :) [05:35] klobster, yes that is possible. [05:35] thanks for twinview options, i already set that part up [05:35] klobster, i had my TV out that way. ( i had to figure out how to makeit NOT do that. ) :) [05:36] without the 'paning' you can have 'dead' areas of the display that you cant really see. [05:36] Dr_willis: excellent. any pointers? [05:37] klobster, thers dozens of twinview guides/examples on google. the GENTOO wikis are very good also with examples. And a read of the actual NVIDIA docs is worth doing [05:37] Of course theres the nvidia config tools that may do exactly what you need. :) [05:37] nvidia-settings [05:37] Dr_willis: I have been pretty extensively searching them (that's how I got everything set up to begin with), but i can't find the panning info [05:38] I recall a very detailed example xorg.conf on the gentoo wikis for that stuff. lots of comments also [05:39] well its bed time here. Night all [05:39] I ran nvidia-settings --twinview, but it didn't change it. I feel like their is a screen0 "panning" option that i am just missing somewhere. I will hit the gentoo wikis. the problem is that most people want to use both side by side, not one or other, so i end up with ALOT of false leads. thanks! [05:39] Strigi is a file search tool right?

[07:02] hmm im still getting system beeps. from pidgin when i try to backspace when there is no text [07:02] ah duh! :P [07:03] Pidgin != KDE app [07:03] so don't expect it to obey KDE rules :D [07:05] Is there a way to fake having windows XP sp 2 from xubuntu? Say if I were trying to watch streaming video, and that were a requirement. [07:06] Jucato: upstream! [07:10] morning folks [07:13] Oh I have a question I have been wondering about for ages. Sometimes references show sth like "See 'hotplug(8) for details.". What does that mean exacty, and what does the (8) stand for? I have often seen this with regard to man pages; .e. "man hotplug(8)".... [07:14] yesterday, the updater pulled in network manager. that seems to have broken the default network settings. now, when the box comes backup from e.g. suspend, network manager always decides to wait for dhcp packets on eth0, where not even a cable is connected, as opposed to reconnect to the wireless network it was on via eth1 before [07:14] tuxwulf: that's a category for man pages [07:14] tuxwulf: you can read them by entering man 8 hotplug in a terminal [07:15] kblin: Ah, like that .. great, thanks! [07:16] tuxwulf: 8 is a "manuals" section, iirc [07:17] tuxwulf: there might be another manpage for hotplug in e.g. the programming section (just making that one up, but there are examples) [07:17] so usually "man something" will do the right thing [07:18] but if it's ambigious man 3 something will get the "something" manpage from section 3 specifically [07:18] kblin, tuxwulf: typing man:/ in konqueror will give you a list of what the sections stand for [07:19] * Jucato hopes the original man command had something like that... [07:19] and if you reference it from some text, convention is to write something(3) [07:20] Jucato: ah. I never really used that.. nifty [07:20] kblin > I see...! Thanks! ... Wow that's great ... [07:20] so.. section 8 - the one I am looking for - is the crazy section...? [07:20] Sys Admin section [07:20] Oh n, Konqueror says SysAd [07:21] Ah yes... Thanks! [07:37] !wireless > tuxwulf [07:38] tuxwulf: you could also just PM the bot :) [07:43] Jucato > PM means I won't bother anyone here? [07:44] you won't break the flow of the Join and Parts (a.k.a. the silence) :P [07:44] tuxwulf: it means you can msg the bot in private to your heart's content :) [07:44] ok, goody...! [07:44] tuxwulf: "/msg ubotu wireless" would do the same [07:45] without anybody knowing you ever asked... apart from the bot,of course [07:48] * Netham45 is off to bed [07:55] moin [08:10] <[ifr0g]> !find vncrec [08:10] Package/file vncrec does not exist in gutsy [08:11] <[ifr0g]> :( [08:11] <[ifr0g]> !find vncrec feisty [08:11] Package/file vncrec does not exist in feisty [08:15] [ifr0g]: what are you looking for? === harrison is now known as hengha [08:17] hi, for some reason super key + Tab does not work in shift switcher of compiz fusion, any idea ?

[13:45] FuseboxEllen: have you tried wicd? [13:45] bazhang, ok, I will leave it off for now. [13:45] Now, doesn't the acpi blank off the screen also? [13:45] wicd.longren.com [13:47] Hmm, I haven't, no. At the moment, what I've done is: Installed the bcm43xx-fwcutter package so I could enable my Broadcomm wireless router, tried setting it up manually, and tried setting it up with KwiFi. On the KWiFi screen, it says that my network's access point is FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF, no local IP available, and signal strength of 0. Thanks for the link Bazhang.

[13:56] Sorry to be a bother. [13:57] FuseboxEllen: WaltzingAlong is really right--sometime you should try it via cli--it's not that hard--even I could learn it :} [13:57] Just slightly intimidating, but heck, I'll give it a shot. One of the reasons I switched. [13:59] FuseboxEllen: it's basically just cutting and pasting stuff that you pick up here, from ubuntuforums.org, and google; after a while you can just remember what to do--Ubuntu/Kubuntu is really not that hard to do it with. [14:00] FuseboxEllen: the important commands are ifconfig, iwfconfig, dhclient [14:00] FuseboxEllen: and sudo iwlist eth1 scanning [14:00] that's iwconfig rather than iwfconfig [14:01] and while it may be cutting and pasting at first, the end goal is understanding why you're doing what you're doing with the CLI and starting to figure things out for yourself. [14:02] Daisuke_Laptop: right. and doing it through the cli general produces more (helpful) feedback [14:02] excellent points Daisuke_Laptop | WaltzingAlong. [14:03] FuseboxEllen: but of course ask back here as needed; more than happy to help [14:04] *Nods* Which is what I've been wanting to do anyway. Getting to work on it now.

Boy am I spoiled :) [14:30] hehe. [14:30] ScorpKing: There is a dial-up piece missing in the Kubuntu packaged version. Gentoo has it working [14:30] That's not working either. It just says that package knetworkmanager (and network-manager-kde) is not available, but is refered to by another package. [14:30] zyntax: sudo apt-get install wine [14:30] ScorpKing: So, the kubuntu package manager should be able to patch/fix using the Gentoo one [14:30] how do you reinstall the crystalsvg icon set? [14:31] it's part of kdelibs [14:31] why what happened? [14:31] (kdelibs-data iirc) [14:31] rgreening: oh ok. i didn't know that. thanks. have a link for me? [14:32] ScorpKing: 1 sec... looking at my Gentoo install [14:32] :D [14:32] I think I got it [14:32] ScorpKing: http://bugs.kde.org/148951 [14:32] thanks [14:33] Using the patch will add kppp support :) and dialup [14:33] Kubuntu should add it [14:33] looking at it now. [14:34] hi. i need to install some drivers which compile only on 2.6.16-17 kernel versions . the newest version of kubuntu has kernel 2.6.22. in order to make the drivers working, is it better to have an older version of kubuntu with 2.6.17 kernel or the last version with a downgraded kernel ? [14:34] ScorpKing: read the last note. It looks like Kubuntu package doesn't detect kppp and dialup [14:34] ScorpKing : hence no option to manage it [14:34] can`t install wine <"sudo apt-get install wine"> dont work any one know??

[14:35] how do I reinstall the crystalsvg icon set? [14:35] ScorpKing: Wha tkubuntu are you running?

I managed to delete all my icons... :( [14:36] :> [14:36] vbgunz: how exactly? [14:36] thx [14:36] Hello [14:36] Hello. Is it possible to make to seperate desktops, without xinerama? === ubuntu is now known as Polo9999 [14:36] rgreening: thanks for the help [14:36] Hello , i have a problem with Konkeror [14:36] ScorpKing: np. Glad to assist. [14:37] Konqueror [14:37] vbgunz: how did you "delete" your icons? [14:37] Polo9999: me too [14:37] Polo9999: explain plz [14:37] Jucato: I was trying to symlink the contents of 2 directories into 1. trying to first put in crystalsvg and then Tangerine on top. (tangerine is broken)... anyhow, I rm -fr the symlinks and it appears I killed the real icons too with that :/ [14:37] I can't install any packages, can't access my wireless network or my wired network, and seem genuinely screwed. Joy. [14:37] I can't go to internet but i have all the settings works [14:37] I have problem with konqueror too ScorpKing [14:37] vbgunz: unless you used sudo, it would be impossible for you to rm the crystalsvg icons [14:37] I'm in IRC here and i haven't any problems [14:38] FuseboxEllen: open up a terminal and sudo ifconfig and tell what it says (or paste it if it's very long). [14:38] vbgunz: I've never seen a situation where the -f switch is needed with rm -r [14:38] Jucato: I have a snapshot and am about to restore the icons back but I didn't know deleting a symlink like that would remove the real files too [14:38] vbgunz: they should be save in /usr/share/icons/crystalsvg/ unless you used sudo [14:38] Polo9999: you use dialup? [14:38] No , Wifi [14:38] vbgunz: they don't. deleting symlink doesn't delete what it links to [14:38] I do a ping test and it's work [14:39] Jucato: yes. I rm -fr the symlinks and managed to also delete the real icons. maybe I botched it. I'll restore them [14:39] but Konqueror can't detect anything :/ [14:39] Polo9999: did you setup the connection manually? [14:39] vbgunz: why would you use -r when rm'ing a symlink? a symlink is just a single file, it doesn't need recursion [14:39] vbgunz: again, if you didn't use sudo, it's impossible for the icons to be deleted. and secondly, if what was changed was a user configuration, reinstalling kdelibs-data might not work at all [14:39] I have put the SSID manually [14:40] akar: how do you get internet? have the same problem? [14:40] vbgunz: the -r deleted the contents :) [14:40] ardchoille: I was deleting the main symlink folder... the main folder wasn't a symlink [14:40] vbgunz: Ah, ok [14:40] vbgunz: So you had a folder of symlinks? [14:41] ardchoille: yes, was trying to put in symlinks from two different folders into one folder... [14:41] Unfortunately I did not get my raid running with what ubotu told me... [14:41] Polo9999: heh. no idea then. [14:41] Erf :/ [14:42] Jucato: Can't you do: ln -s folder1 folder2 link [14:42] Guess I'm reinstalling kubuntu on the laptop... [14:42] Could not connect to host http://www.kubuntu.org [14:42] :/ [14:42] ardchoille: um. what are you trying to accomplish? [14:42] Polo9999: firefox will most likely work. [14:43] Jucato: I'm trying to understand why vbgunz did what he did [14:43] How can i get Firefox? [14:43] Linking two diff folders to one symlink [14:43] I'm still not convinced that his icons were deleted, unless he used sudo or ran as root :) [14:43] Polo9999: sudo apt-get install firefox [14:43] ScorpKing: i don't have any problem with internet connection [14:43] Polo9999: sudo aptitude install firefox [14:43] akar: oh ok. nvm [14:43] ardchoille: the Tangerine icon set is broken on Gutsy [14:43] vbgunz: Were you logged in as root at the time? [14:44] I was trying to first symlink crystalsvg into dir1 *then* overwrite the icons I symlinked with icons for Tangerine... I was thinking, the icons that Tangerine do not have will be replaced by the crystalsvg icons [14:44] um.. Tangerine is a GNOME icon theme afaik... it won't work on KDE [14:45] Thanks , it's currency download =) [14:45] nån svensk här inne som kan guida mej genom wine install^^ [14:45] http://portal.telkomspeedy.com/ always failed authenticity test!

[14:48] Jucato: I had tangerine icons in Feisty. great set if icons. they worked in Feisty just perfectly but do not work in Gutsy. rather than copying both directories I thought I would be able to symlink them together [14:48] ok... [14:48] ardchoille: sudo aptitude show [14:48] ardchoille: uhm, i don't get you. if you just apt-cache show the package, it'll list its dependencies, including the gnome or kde libraries [14:49] LjL: That's what I wanted (show) [14:49] ardchoille: apt-cache depends [14:50] vbgunz: Jucato is right, tangerine-icon-theme is a gnome icon theme [14:50] :) [14:50] need ndiswrapper [14:50] please [14:50] import: so download it. [14:50] import: sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-common [14:50] howdy folks :) [14:51] i enabled the universe repos like this vi /etc/apt/sources.list then i enabled universe [14:51] import: sudo apt-get update [14:51] but i do a apt-cache search ndiswrapper i find ndis-utils and ndis-source now i know ndis-utils is good but what about ndis-source i thought it was suppose to be ndis-common [14:52] llutz, ScorpKing : Thanks [14:52] is ndis-source the same as ndis-common [14:52] How tu run Firefox in the terminal? [14:52] ardchoille: np. [14:52] Polo9999: firefox [14:52] ndis = ndiswrapper abbriviation sorry [14:53] Polo9999, type firefox [14:53] Ok thanks ;) [14:53] Internet works :) [14:53] Konqueror has a glitch O.o [14:53] daisuke_Laptop i did apt-get update but as i said before im not sure if ndis-source = ndis-common [14:53] Polo9999: Please explain [14:54] Well, this is an effort in fustration, I can't install the network manager off the cd, I can't install the network manager from online because I can't get a connection because I don't have the network manager, it's catch 22. [14:54] The internet pages can't run and in Firefox it's work [14:54] no they are not the same [14:54] will kde 3.5.8 work on feisty with 320MB RAM? [14:55] im adding ndiswrapper to the installation cd because ndiswrapper doesnt ship with it and i dont have a ethernet card nore a modem only a wireless driver. [14:55] ScorpKing: does 3.5.7 run? [14:55] ScorpKing: it should [14:55] wireless card [14:55] I go now ;) [14:55] because 3.5.8 is just a bugfix release, afaik [14:55] Cu!

I can't seem to fix whatever happened to network manager to even give me a wired connection, so 2 of those three are out of the picture. [15:01] im not sure i looked at the list let me check again [15:01] FuseboxEllen: okay--you just installed Kubuntu? [15:02] bbl. have fun guys [15:02] I installed ubuntu on my PC last week. Installed it on my laptop last night. [15:02] kubuntu, that is [15:02] bazhang: what's the other option? [15:02] full install ie not shared with xp FuseboxEllen? [15:02] i see a drapper universe two of them and i see a securtiy main restricted two of those also and a updates main restricted two of them too. [15:02] Full install, yeah. [15:02] does anyone know how to check which ports are opened and which ones closed ? [15:03] hello i'm trying to build an iconset i got from kde-look, and when i type "./buildset", i keep getting an error saying "Checking for convert... no." what am i missing here ?

[15:03] archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu drapper universe: security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main restricted [15:04] yes === zyntax is now known as zyntax^^ [15:04] bazhang: iirc, it's libxine1-ffmpeg [15:04] Though due to my laptops memory issues, reinstalling via liveCD takes -ages-. [15:04] FuseboxEllen: a reinstall of Kubuntu is going to be less time than a reinstall of XP [15:04] ardchoille: my bad--thanks! [15:04] bazhang, libxine1-ffmpeg [15:04] fuseboxellen theres always woody damn small linux wouldnt use it if i was you but it runs great only like 50 megs [15:05] winterelf: you see that? [15:05] bazhang: FuseboxEllen a purge of knetworkmanager and a reinstall sometimes helps [15:05] i would stick with kubuntu or ubuntu for a lighter system [15:05] in addition,you may want to erase everything in /etc/network/interfaces [15:05] nosrednaekim: she has no net right now [15:05] yw [15:06] thanks BluesKaj [15:06] kubuntu = kde interface a little more eye catchy ubuntu = gnome less eye catchy but alot better then red hat mandrake 6.0 [15:06] wireless , what a PITA [15:06] BluesKaj its not that hard [15:06] BluesKaj: depends on hardware and net-stucture [15:06] what kind of driver do you have? [15:07] import: speak for yourself heh [15:07] i do my wireless with ndiswrapper takes me about 2 min now use to be hard [15:07] blueskaj: let's just say that in this last few month i hardcoded my wireless, (usb wierd) + grapghic card from year 1829 and it took some time since i used slackware 9.1,,, so now i m on kubuntu. and just wanted to know if anyone knows that simple problam on ubuntu who dosent recognized mp3.. so please.. if u can't help.. [15:07] import, it depends one yer setup , but from all the qestions about networks wireless have the most probs [15:08] FuseboxEllen: pop in a wire and run "sudo dhclient eth0" [15:08] what kind of set up are you doing? [15:08] winterelf, sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg [15:08] yep [15:08] wait [15:08] i thought just sudo apt-get install libxine1 would take care of all that [15:09] tx [15:09] even real media mpg avi mp3 etc [15:09] Okay, done that nosrednaekim. [15:09] FuseboxEllen: can you access the net now? [15:10] im sitting here chatting lol. anyone know a good repo for kubuntu i need ta get ndiswrapper-common. [15:10] Yup, that did the trick, I can access the net through Konqueror now [15:10] deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe,deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-security main restricted,deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates main restricted these are the ones i have [15:11] nice wrok nosrednaekim!

I wrok too ;) [15:11] haha [15:11] anyone showing anything diffrent in their source.list [15:11] Yeah, I do, a Linksys Wireless G home gateway. [15:12] Using a Broadcom wireless card on the laptop. [15:13] FuseboxEllen: what type of encryption? [15:13] WEP [15:13] i.e., WEP or WPA [15:13] i have two eth nics and the OS activates them automatically at boot time even if i choose to avoid that [15:13] how can i solve? [15:15] paolino__, blacklist them [15:15] eeuuww WEP is scary not very secure at all , from all recomendations for wireless encryption WPA is much more secure , but ihas to be on the thee individual computer not just the network router [15:15] damn, I loved the Tangerine icon set on Feisty. it blows hard in Gutsy though :/ [15:15] FuseboxEllen: ok, grab wlassistant [15:16] Looking for it now, though I'll have to dash off to work in quater of an hour [15:16] compiz is so sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet [15:17] poison--: already tried [15:18] FuseboxEllen: "sudo apt-get install wlassistant" [15:18] aww carp i get it now hey thank you Daisuke_Laptop i added the backports [15:18] Got it [15:18] FuseboxEllen: ok... tryusing that to connect [15:19] Helllo [15:19] I have a problem... [15:19] is it any program that butcher windows installation's for kubuntu? [15:19] like nlite but tahst for windows [15:19] thats* [15:20] dator you want a leaner kubuntu ? [15:20] xubuntu to the rescue! [15:20] nosrednaekim: Thanks, that did the trick!

[15:21] butchered [15:21] anyone know of an orangey icon set like Tangerine? [15:21] FuseboxEllen: kill Knetworkmanager and tell it not to start on login [15:22] vbgunz: for kde or gnome? [15:22] Done. [15:22] oh, I was gonna suggest a kde-core install [15:22] KDE [15:22] FuseboxEllen: you might not have automatic connection on login, but it should work now.. [15:22] perferably. I cannot get Tangerine to work on Kubuntu the way it used too. that icon set rocks :( [15:23] Is there any software for kubuntu that butcher windows installations? [15:23] I don't care about not having auto connection, the fact that wireless internet now works for me is all that I need. Thanks nosrednaekim, bazhang and everyone else who helped. :) [15:23] vbgunz: There's the human-icon-theme in the repos and it doesn't show gnome as a dependency [15:23] FuseboxEllen: yay! [15:23] FuseboxEllen: No problem... [15:24] dator: what you mean by "butcher" [15:24] like remove components [15:24] that i dont need [15:24] dator did you make a partition on the drive to ntfs so you could install winows on it ?

See you all! [15:25] please do! [15:25] FuseboxEllen: a great way to learn :D [15:25] ardchoille: cool, will give it a try, just tried several kde icon sets, all busted :) [15:25] that's what i did [15:25] oh well.....i used a ilegal. that was super tiny with nearly NO stuff on it [15:25] Tm_T, did they catch that crazy school shooter ?

[15:25] ardchoille: human breaks badly too :( [15:26] I don't get it. something must have changed to cause this kind of breakage. on Feisty, tangerine was awesome. on Gutsy it's busted :( [15:26] only one icon set really works fine and thats crystalsvg... should have called it monoplysvg :P [15:27] Anyone that know of a nlite-looking-software to kubuntu???? [15:28] What is nlite? [15:28] dator you can do a commandline install, then add kde-core, then the few things you need/want http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/kde-core [15:28] a windows downsizer [15:28] hi everyone [15:29] dator using the alternate install disk [15:29] !hi | jermain [15:29] jermain: Hi!

Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [15:32] dator: you should ask in ##windows [15:32] i have a problem: my usb stick is calling everything a read-only-system file, now i can't remove stuff anymore [15:32] Ok [15:32] dator: okay, i see what you're saying. you want to remove components YOU don't need from your existing windows install [15:33] Daisuke_Ido:Yes thats rigth [15:33] bazhang's got it, ##windows is where you wouls have to check. [15:33] jermain: Check permissions of the mount point [15:33] Ok [15:33] i will ardchoille, thanks [15:33] dator, then go to the #windows room [15:33] s/room/channel/ [15:33] BluesKaj: i think he got that :D [15:33] err, slow today :) [15:33] I still like Daisuke_Ido's option better :} [15:34] hehe [15:34] bazhang: me too [15:34] archoille: owner can view and modify [15:34] unfortunately, it's not always a good option [15:34] group and others can view [15:34] jermain: Who is the owner? [15:34] me [15:34] i have to use windows (so i run it in vbox on my lappy) [15:34] there is only one account [15:34] jermain: is the usb stick mounted as ro (read only)?

[15:43] lol [15:43] dator: your best bet is in add/remove programs, there should be a thing for adding/removing windows components [15:43] mkay [15:43] Yammeh: oh boy can i!

[15:48] i just want to help if i can. === hydrax is now known as hydrax1977 === hydrax1977 is now known as hydrax [15:48] jthomas: there isn't one that I know of. === hydrax is now known as hydrax1977 === hydrax1977 is now known as hydrax77 [15:49] hohayo [15:50] there is on the system i was setting up last night (6.06 lts) [15:51] fuck [15:52] How does kubuntu decide which network card to use for internet use? I've got 2 network cards both with different net connections through them === JohnFlux_ is now known as JohnFlux [15:52] i thought the cups pasword was the first users password. [15:53] but under the older Ubuntu's CUPS web interface was disabled. It sort of Looked like it worked..but it dident. [15:54] Yammeh: the default gateway [15:54] do both cards have ips in the same network? [15:54] They're different networks [15:55] so the default gateway you or dhcpcd set describes the way "to the outside world" [15:55] and only one interface has an ip in the gateways subnet [15:56] Every time I try to connect to my wireless network it gets to IP configuration started and then doesnt connect, anyone know why?? [15:56] Is it possible to set up kubuntu so I can use both connections? [15:57] Yammeh: sure - but thats not the standard we-need-a-gui-for-that task [15:57] Ok, I don't have time to set it up at the minute, I'll have to look into it later [15:57] so google for 'interface bonding linux' or thomething [15:58] oh my .. [15:58] it's something.. [15:58] Is it alot of work? [15:58] My lan port doesnt detect that its on a network, but its plugged in [15:58] I found an article on that somewhere, called 'bonding' [15:59] Yammeh: that depends on your knowledge ;) [15:59] I'm a noob :P [15:59] Yammeh: look into it and decide if it's worth the effort [15:59] Yer, I will do. Thanks [15:59] have fun ;) [16:01] deviance: could you try "sudo mii-tool interface_name"? [16:01] interface_name should be replaced with "eth0" or something [16:02] Siocgmiphy on eth0 not supported === Dominus is now known as cr0n === cr0n is now known as Dominus [16:05] rar [16:05] Is there a way to enable/disable compiz for a session? [16:05] use the kwin --replace command to stop it perhaps. [16:05] i think its kwin --replace.. not sure. :) [16:06] yep, then compiz --replace to turn it on again [16:07] deviance: try "sudo ethtool eth0 | grep Link" [16:08] Dr_willis: thanks, i will try that. [16:08] 1 second [16:09] Dr_willis: one more question: kde-window-decorator crashes every single time when I start compiz (either at start of session or manually). If i restarte with kde-window-decorator --replace, it runs fine. Any suggestions? [16:09] mneisen: install emerald [16:10] emerald is worse than kde-window-decorator [16:10] it looks utterly out of palce [16:10] .. and ugly [16:10] bazhang: well, I happen to like polyester. How do i get this with emerald? [16:10] agreed, but less crash-worthy [16:10] mneisen: sudo apt-get install emerald fromt the Konsole [16:10] bazhang: yes, emerald does not crash. [16:11] likely because compiz is horrible. [16:11] but [16:11] thats only my 200 cents! [16:11] * BluesKaj wonders what some would do if there wasn't any window dressing available :) [16:11] bazhang: I know about emerald - but how do i get a "normal" KDE theme with emerald? [16:11] and probably will be known in #compiz-fusion [16:11] bazhang: thanks for the pointer. [16:11] mneisen: what is normal? [16:12] I'm pretty sure you'd need to duplicate your favorite kde theme in emerald [16:12] bazhang: Polyester is normal, Keramic is normal, Plastik is normal. All these themes come with KDE. [16:13] trappist: that would be too much hassle for me. And another reason not to use emerald. [16:13] mneisen: okay--I just go with what the installer gave me--boring I know :} [16:13] mneisen: isn't there one called kde-window-decorator? [16:13] bazhang: No, I would not call that boring - I just do not like the much too colorful and windoze-like emerald themes. [16:14] trappist: Yes, there is, but it crashes on startup and I have to restart it manually. [16:14] seezer: That gave me Link detected: No [16:14] The transparency is a nice effect though. [16:14] mneisen: you can also look in the ccsm and check out the plugin window decorations [16:14] It adds a neat asthetic [16:14] ccsm? [16:14] mneisen: compizconfig settings manager [16:14] seezer: I have just run iwlist scan and its found my network, how can I tell it to connect with a key? [16:15] This is on my wireless stick now [16:15] bazhang: ah. [16:15] deviance: what is the device? eth1?

[16:18] bazhang: well, in ccsm/window decorations I can only configure how big the shadows are and similar things. [16:18] mneisen: okay; my bad. [16:19] All I need to know is the CLI for connect to cell 01 with wlan0 and wep key [16:19] bazhang: no prob, just wanted to let you know... .-D [16:19] deviance: iwconfig --help [16:19] Ah [16:20] man iwconfig for details [16:20] otherwise use knetworkmanager [16:21] deviance, are familiar with ? :https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm [16:21] what channel would be a good one for legal advice? [16:22] No [16:22] But its all set up, I need to connect [16:24] ifconfig wlan0 up ? [16:24] I guess you would still need to enter password though. [16:25] * genii sips a coffee and tries to pry his eyes open [16:25] Why is knetworkmanager not working deviance? [16:26] MagicCow: I dont know it just doesnt [16:26] I have run that command and set the /interfaces up correct but nothing happens [16:26] It detects my network when I run sudo iwlist scan [16:26] after fiddling with the login setting in System Settings, i can not get the default Kubuntu KDM theme to show up during login [16:26] So your interface is recognized.. you jjust can't connect.. [16:27] Yes [16:27] I'll try to google search: Linux Wireless connection without knetwork manager [16:27] Maybe that will give a solution [16:27] Nothing yet :( [16:28] MagicCow, does your wifi card work and you just dont know how to use it on the command line? [16:29] hey... got a wireless problem on my laptop using broadcom 8433 chipset (I think) [16:29] MasterShrek: this is for deviance, but I think that would probably help him. [16:29] i need help getting a network monitor for kde [16:29] MasterShrek: Yeah that just about sums it up [16:29] wraithmagi, i doubt its 8433, shoudl be 43xx [16:29] deviance, whats the name of your wifi card? wlan0 or eth1 or soemthign im assuming [16:29] yeah... getting that confused with something else. [16:30] anyone know a good one for kde? [16:30] sry. [16:30] wlan0 [16:30] deviance, well youll want to do: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid [16:30] deviance, that will associate it with the access point [16:30] actually showing as eth1 [16:30] if its wpa, youll have to set up your wpa_supplicant.conf [16:31] wraithmagi, they you may be ok, you might need firmware though [16:31] MasterShrek: don't use networkmanager, do you? [16:31] Daisuke_Ido, no [16:31] er.... don't remember.... [16:31] italian room please? [16:31] on my driva box right now. [16:31] deviance, about WEP vs WPA encryption, http://www.wifiknight.com/wep-vs-wpa-a-brief-primer-article/ [16:31] !it | testablu [16:31] testablu: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [16:31] ok tank you [16:31] :) [16:32] it was working fine until I followed a tut on my schools website telling me to create a wpa_supplicant.conf in /etc/ [16:32] http://www.linux.com/feature/56946 <-- about wpa_supplicant [16:32] wraithmagi, that will happen, but at least your school has a tut for that, mine doesnt even acknowledge linux on their wireless setup page [16:32] Ill try that MasterShrek [16:32] deviance, if you need to enter a wep key: sudo iwconfig wlan0 key [16:32] well our CS dept uses ubuntu for labs... [16:33] well that and win2k/XP [16:33] deviance, after that you want to grab an ip: sudo dhclient3 wlan0 [16:33] Ok i have done the wep key [16:33] deviance, also to scan for networks in range: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan [16:33] deviance, try to grab an ip [16:33] Ok [16:34] wraithmagi, im sure ours does too, but i doubt any of them need wireless access [16:34] Its looking, I think [16:34] No DHCPOFFERS received [16:34] deviance, if your access point has a space in it, when u run the comand to associate it you need to enclose the name of the access point in '' [16:35] it's pretty neat... they actually order ubuntu cds in bulk for PPC and x86. [16:35] It doesnt [16:35] deviance, type iwconfig and see if it associated with the right ap [16:35] so if I'm using network manager I should remove it? [16:35] Ok, it has the essid writen there, but no key [16:36] wraithmagi, you dont have to, but i did because i dont like network manager [16:36] basically what I'm after is two seperate profiles... one for home and one for school. [16:36] deviance, iwconfig wlan0 key (its wep not wpa right?) [16:36] Its wep [16:36] school uses wep 2 [16:36] deviance, use sudo also [16:37] well, deviance , relying on WEP is not secure ...WPA is the way to go , google the difference and you'll undersdtand what I mean [16:37] Yep, when i run it nothing seems to happen [16:37] I KNOW the difference [16:37] But I have some WPA only deviced [16:37] wraithmagi, the way i used to do it is just have two entries in my wpa_supplicant.conf file, and it would automatically connect to whichever one it found, but that was a while back at the tech college [16:37] so i dont really remember how i did it [16:37] good , finally a response [16:38] oh. ok... where shoud supplicant.conf file be in kubuntu? [16:38] so i dont really remember how i did it [16:38] in /etc [16:38] actually hit up key =P [16:39] so just rebuild the .conf from the one my school has online and add my home network settings and I should be golden? [16:39] what's the command line for enabling a second monitor? ie not through the gui [16:39] MasterShrek: It says DHCPDISCOVER on wlan0 to 255.255.255.255, but I know my subnetmask is 255.255.255.0 [16:40] wraithmagi, i believe so [16:40] deviance, umm, your access point is successfully associated right? case sensitive? matches the relevant output of: sudo iwlist wlan0 scan ? [16:40] * genii hands out coffees [16:41] Yep [16:41] yay [16:41] * BluesKaj is all coffee'd out , but appreciates the gesture , genii :) [16:41] I desperately need coffee [16:41] my mic is still not working on kubuntu..... dont know how to make it work. Any ideas? [16:41] deviance, well damn...it does scan though right? [16:41] always room for coffee.... [16:41] You guys are obsessed with coffe [16:42] genii: ta! [16:42] Yeah [16:42] lovre, dont make it work, let it work :) [16:42] caffeine=God. [16:42] need to survive [16:42] * genii gets BluesKaj some nice fruit juice instead [16:42] Jucato :) [16:42] MasterShrek: ok, i let it, but it just wont. [16:42] thx genii :) [16:42] wraithmagi: Yer in the coffee cult ;) [16:42] MasterShrek: testing with skype [16:43] lovre, i dont know much about microphones, but its not muted in your volume control or anything is it? [16:43] genii: YAY!!! church, cult, cult, church.... [16:43] so I get bored somewhere else every sunday! [16:43] Bah. i wish Asus would start giving the driver source code for their motherboards in non-redhat specific code [16:44] Maybe I should just make the rpm then alien it [16:46] I HATE NETWORKING [16:46] MasterShrek: nothing muted [16:46] How can Lan not work? :( [16:46] and another problem: automount for USB memory does not work.... :( [16:46] how to fix it [16:47] It worked fine on 7.04 [16:47] agrees with deviance. [16:47] I try to play songs (mp3+ogg) in k3b, but it says there is a problem with audio output. It is set to alsa in the settings. Anyone an idea? [16:48] You need MP3 support installed [16:48] jeroenvrp, why would you play them in k3b? [16:48] deviance: I have [16:48] but yes, i think its k3b-mp3 or something [16:48] MasterShrek: to check them [16:48] i dident think k3b could play them [16:48] !info k3b-mp3 [16:48] Package k3b-mp3 does not exist in gutsy [16:48] jeroenvrp, thers a package you have to install, search synaptic for k3b and youll find it [16:48] deviance: it will work on 7.10 too - if done right ;) [16:48] adept* [16:48] !find k3b [16:48] there is a play this track in k3b [16:48] Found: k3b, k3b-i18n, libk3b-dev, libk3b2, libk3b2-mp3 [16:48] MasterShrek: I have [16:49] libk3b2-mp3 [16:49] deviance: you don't like knetworkmanager? [16:49] libk3b2-mp3 - is my guess :) [16:49] (i don't, but that's another point..) [16:49] * BluesKaj is happy to have built in cable snakes running thru-out the house ...no need for wireless [16:49] they can burned, but not played [16:49] wireless works like a charm here [16:49] Dr_willis: Could you shed any light on this, it appears to connect to a wireless network fine but gets stuck at 57% on IP configuration [16:49] i dont use wireless any more. :) [16:50] and iwconfig/iwlist haven't really changed from 7.04 to 7.10 [16:50] deviance: you have a dhcp server running in that network? [16:50] Yeah [16:50] maybe if i bought a laptop then wireless would be a consideration [16:51] BluesKaj, even lan isnt working for me right now [16:51] How can old fassioned cables not work :( [16:52] deviance: what hardware do you use? [16:52] Belkin USB stick [16:52] uah [16:52] ;) [16:52] What do you have? [16:52] I need to get a new one tbh [16:52] usb network devices are made by the devil i guess [16:52] so no one knows about this problem [16:53] deviance: let's try to get it working anyway.. [16:53] could you please close knetworkmanager [16:53] jeroenvrp, make your playlist in amarok and when you are done, click burn cd from there and it will open in k3b with your playlist ready to go [16:53] deviance: and show me "iwconfig wlan0" [16:53] MasterShrek: I know that [16:53] its about the play option in k3b [16:54] Not very easily its not on this PC [16:54] is it even possible to enable a second monitor via cli? [16:54] Otherwise I would be happy :P [16:54] deviance: i guess so ;) [16:54] bazhang, if its nvidia - yes. [16:54] bazhang, or are you refering to enabling it in the console? [16:54] and having a console show up on it? [16:55] Dr_willis: in the console [16:55] bazhang, still not clear.. :) You want to have a CONSOLE on the 2nd moniotr? or configure X for the 2nd monitor from the Console? [16:55] seezer: Its freezing on the step where it aquires a IP adress from the router [16:55] Dr_willis: have x on the second monitor, but without using gui [16:56] deviance: define "it" [16:56] not a big issue Dr_willis; just someone screwed up theirs and wanted some help [16:56] not me--only one monitor here :} [16:56] seezer: Sorry, KNetworkManager [16:56] bazhang, thers the nvidia command line tools that can tweak the xorg.conf for you [16:57] Dr_willis: thanks very much [16:57] deviance: could you close the app please [16:57] nvidia-xconfig -A [16:57] for the LONG help for it. :) [16:58] Okay [16:58] Closed [16:58] I'm using a logitech ultra-x keyboard (cheap, pretty standard keyboard) and the volume up/down keys seem to be recognized, but they dont affect the right soundcard/channel.... Where do i customize those keys? [16:58] now paste me "iwconfig wlan0" somewhere [17:01] anyone know how to reset katapult's database? [17:01] katapult has stopped working on my machine [17:01] dgrant, does the folder ~/.katapult exist? === aunes3 is now known as aunes [17:02] MasterShrek: it doesn't look it [17:02] (never used katapult so i dont know) but if it does, you should just be able to delete that folder [17:02] deviance: ok. could you add output of "iwlist wlan0 scan" (only the parts of your target wlan please ) [17:02] MasterShrek: just an rc file in .kde [17:02] ~/.kde/share/apps/katapul/ or ~/.kde/share/config/katapultrc [17:02] whats the name on the swedish kubuntu channel? [17:02] !se | dator [17:02] dator: Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du pa #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se [17:02] ~/.kde/share/apps/katapult ? [17:02] ty [17:03] there are 2 places. one for config files (~/.kde/share/config/) and one for app data (~/.kde/share/apps/) [17:03] MasterShrek: no, that doesnt' exist [17:04] dgrant, check Jucato's suggestion [17:04] s [17:04] dgrant: how exactly is katapult not working? [17:04] MasterShrek: Jucato: I already checked both those places but there's just an rc file in ~/.kde/share/config [17:04] yes. that rc file is the config file for katapult [17:05] ~/.kde/share/config/katapultrc [17:05] deviance: so try the following steps: iwconfig wlan0 essid "youressid (casesensitive!)" [17:05] Okay [17:05] Jucato: doesn't open up when I press the keyboard shortcut. also running strace katapult seems to show that it is hanging on something when it starts up [17:05] iwconfig wlan0 key "key" [17:05] or iwconfig wlan0 key "s:key" (if as string) [17:05] dgrant: move/rename the katapultrc file then. make sure katapult isn't running first [17:05] (or try both) [17:06] deviance: after that repaste iwconfig wlan0 please [17:06] deviance: and one hint: use those pastebins (i.e. the one in the topic) [17:06] Ok [17:06] I'm using a logitech ultra-x keyboard (cheap, pretty standard keyboard) and the volume up/down keys seem to be recognized, but they dont affect the right soundcard/channel.... Where do i customize those keys? [17:06] katapult seems to be working again. I unmounted some nfs drives that mounted but the remote host was disconnected but that was a while ago. That might have fixed the problem but I can't be sure. === safire is now known as SYPRESS [17:08] z1pp3r: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeutils/+bug/118723 [17:09] anybody [17:09] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43676/ [17:09] how i can remove sond card from system? [17:10] you need a screwdriver [17:10] :) [17:10] deviance: this was "iwconfig wlan0 key "bla"" right? [17:10] normally phillips [17:11] Yeah, my key appears fine now, I think I needed to use "" [17:11] ))) [17:11] thanks [17:11] seezer: thanks, i'll take a look [17:11] aww... linking to a bug report, this cant be good... [17:11] ciao a tutti [17:11] deviance: so you have a associated accesspoint in iwconfig output? [17:11] SYPRESS, to choose a default soundcard: sudo asoundconf set-default-card "name of soundcard" [17:12] z1pp3r: ;) you're right. but i guess this will be fixed soon [17:12] No, it says Acces Point: Not-Associated, but the ESSID and Key are there [17:12] SYPRESS: you can use 'asoundconf list' to get a list of available soundcards in your system [17:12] Is there a step I am missing? [17:12] seezer: it's wierd though... I have 2 soundcards, it works fine for my first one, but when i change to my other soundcard it breaks [17:12] Or should I do sudo dhclient3? [17:12] can't be a too serious bug then i guess [17:12] SYPRESS, sudo asoundconf list [17:13] deviance: try setting the correct channel - but i guess you need to use 'iwconfig wlan0 "s:key"' [17:13] ? [17:13] deviance: first wlan - then tcp/ip crap ;) [17:13] lol [17:13] z1pp3r: i guess it's caused by the problem described in the bugreport/comments [17:14] z1pp3r: kmilo assumes the correct channel is always the first one [17:14] seezer: yes... so it seems [17:14] perhaps it is correct for the one card - but not for the other [17:14] shouldn't be that hard to fix, hopefully they'll do it soon [17:14] some nice dude even made a patch [17:14] I have set the channel But its still not accosiated [17:15] right. i removed kmilo and use global shortcuts in kmixer until a official fix is out [17:15] this works - only the nice on screen display is missing [17:15] kmixer can do that? Well what do you know... [17:16] deviance: so _please_ try the 'key "s:yourkey"' thingy ;) [17:16] but removing kmilo, doesnt that break the kubuntu-default-package? [17:16] Okay [17:16] z1pp3r: that's not a problem for me [17:16] i'll install it when it's working again [17:16] it is for me... i've become lazy over the years, otherwise i would still be running debian =) [17:16] it doesn't break anything but a virtual package [17:17] so it will get removed - but nothing else [17:17] virtual package or not, it's hard to tell what unwanted sideeffects it might produce. Anyway, thanks for your help, i'll play around a bit with it [17:18] how can i get an eyecandy desktop sidebar for kde? i want it to hold my applications for quick running [17:18] lovre: why not use the default menu bar? [17:18] you can add application shortcuts to the panel [17:19] z1pp3r: you're welcome. but trust me. the virtual package is only good for easy installation. install one package - get the whole "kubuntu experience" ;) [17:19] z1pp3r, Debian is ok if it wasn't for the poor hardware recognition , at least in my case :P [17:19] sudo asoundconf list-what does it mean? [17:19] but the experience stays the same if the virtual package is mi [17:19] ssing ;) [17:19] ok. i stop now ;) [17:19] comand? [17:20] but i guess you need to use 'iwconfig wlan0 "s:key" [17:20] anyway , time to go for my flu shot ...BBL [17:20] I am not using a strink seezer [17:20] z1pp3r: i use it, but i could use another one on the right side of my desktop, to place some applications i often use. [17:20] SYPRESS,type that command in the konsole.. your available sound cards will be listed [17:21] BBL [17:22] deviance: then i guess i don't know what your problem is. haven't had any problems with wlan hardware over the last 1-2 years.. i guess this is it ;) [17:22] :( [17:23] deviance: but i bet it works if the card is detected correctly (it seems like) === safire is now known as SYPRESS [17:27] :( [17:27] I am booting into a live disk again, because that sometimes works with it [17:28] in mixer i have no activate MASTER button ...

[18:15] yes [18:15] didn't find ANYTHING [18:15] threw backports? [18:15] just other people with same problem [18:15] x_zeuss: either the cd, hd or ram [18:15] it's not a disk error, i tried with 4 cds [18:16] and 4 hdds [18:16] ram then or even bios settings [18:16] is there an app to develope flash on linux (like dreamweaver)? [18:17] but 7.04 works just fine to install [18:17] so....? what's the problem? [18:17] i even tried with alternate cd [18:17] atlfalcons866: no, not backports, stable [18:17] atlfalcons866: it just will be a different repo [18:18] ok [18:18] x_zeuss: ouch. good luck with that one then. ;) [18:18] atlfalcons866: there will be stable, supported gutsy packages for kde4 stable as far as i know, but it wont be installed default till 8.10 [18:18] the alternate cd gives the same error [18:18] ubuntu 7.10 the same [18:18] xubuntu the same [18:19] alright [18:19] the whole 7.10 suit gives the same error [18:19] no ideea? [18:20] x_zeuss: check the ram and bios settings. other than that i have no idea. i looks like it's something with the kernel or initrd image === kelvie__ is now known as kelvie_ [18:20] sumting is wong der. :P [18:21] anyway, nite guys. have fun [18:21] opensuse 10.3 uses same kernel and there is no problem [18:21] but i don't like suse [18:22] how long does ship it take [18:22] I need to install realtek drivers to use my USB wireless stick, but I cannot as I dont have the build-essentials, is the a .deb for the drivers [18:23] where did this .deb come from? Its odd that it would need build-essentisls. [18:23] Unless it actually compiles them [18:24] [18:24] No, I Dont have a build essentials, so I would like a .deb for the realtek drivers [18:25] Hmm.. [18:25] deviance: sudo apt-get install build essentials (?) [18:25] when i write a script, how do i make sure the second line will NOT start executing untill the first line has finished? [18:26] *build-essentials [18:26] I dont have an internet connection, so that wont work mintlars [18:26] deviance, sudo apt-get install build-essential ...there's no "s" in the application name [18:26] ok [18:27] lovre, normally thats now it works.. Unless the first command ends in a & or spawns off its own process [18:27] <_Angelus_> probably .deb is a kernel source package, it installs a .tar.bz2 or .tar.gz in you're /usr/src, then you must compile and install using module-assistant or m-a which extracts/compiles/installs that modules into you're kernel [18:27] Dr_willis_: ok [18:28] i have a problem, i installed an application (matlab) and i dont see the interface, i know its there because if i click somewhere it does something. Like menu popup. But everything is blank, i dont see it.?? [18:28] matlab is a linux app? Hmm. [18:29] or are you using wine? [18:29] Dr_willis_: no, it is matlab for linux [18:29] version [18:29] how can i ban IP access from a specific computer in samba? [18:29] Interesting.. the way youve described it. sounds like some fonts may be missing. [18:29] !info samba-doc [18:29] samba-doc: Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.26a-1ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 6816 kB, installed size 14752 kB [18:30] poison--, its doable I belive with the samba configs - Or you could block the ip with the proper iptables command. [18:30] ty buddie [18:30] Of course if the machine changes ip... [18:30] no, its fixed [18:31] some retard here on the company is trying to sniff my server [18:31] Sorry to be a bother, but I have a question, and searching via google hasn't bought up anything viable. I blacklisted something earlier, and am now trying to unblacklist it, but darn if I know how to. [18:31] maybe i can block the retard with the firewall [18:32] seezer: You were helping me with my wireless, but it has a acces point now, what should I do next [18:32] poison--, thats proberly best. block him completely [18:32] go find him.. and pummle him in the head. [18:32] :) Could be some virus/spyware on his box he dont know about also. [18:33] :D [18:33] is it possible i need to isntall something? JVM maybe? im guessing, i read something where they mentioned it [18:35] deviance: ? [18:35] http://iptables-tutorial.frozentux.net/iptables-tutorial.html - is a rather deep iptables tutorial.. wowsers.. :) [18:35] hm. bad timing. [18:36] ah here he is again [18:36] ya :D [18:36] deviance: whenever you have a wlan link you could try to get an ip via dhcp or set it manually [18:37] Okay, how do I do it via dhcp? [18:37] "ifconfig wlan0 192.168.0.32 netmask 255.255.255.0" something like that [18:37] dhclient wlan0 [18:37] first is manual second is dhcp [18:38] Right, Ill try dhcp [18:38] Nope, nothing, Ill do it manualy then [18:39] you know your ip range, right? [18:39] Right, i have run the top one, now what [18:39] Erm, think so [18:40] Normaly it sits on 192.168.2.5 [18:40] !firewall [18:40] Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [18:40] deviance: so use something like 192.168.2.5 [18:40] ;) [18:40] :D [18:40] Okay, thats done === mlg is now known as Mork|weg [18:41] you know the ip of your gateway? [18:41] FuseboxEllen, open the Run Command or alt+F2, click on the drop down dialog and you'll see the entry for the file you used to blacklist [18:41] (if it's the same you're using right now - look it up there..) [18:43] 192.168.2.1 [18:43] I think [18:43] yes deviance that IP is pretty std [18:43] Yup [18:43] Ok, so what do I do with it then seezer [18:43] BluesKaj: Got the file up in Kate. [18:43] <_Angelus_> 192.168 , aint that a router's ip [18:44] Yeah, shouldnt it be? [18:44] <_Angelus_> dunno [18:44] <_Angelus_> i just arrived now [18:45] ok FuseboxEllen , can you rmember what the line was that you entered [18:45] deviance: just type "ping 192.168.2.1" [18:45] and see if you get an answer [18:45] Hi, I'm using g++ through the shell to compile my code, Im new to C++ and I find no problem to compile something that has no errror, but the error message returned is impossible to understand, someone know any IDE for simple shell-run programs? [18:45] Destination host unreachable [18:45] From 192.168.2.5 [18:46] can you put "iwconfig wlan0" and "ifconfig wlan0" into pastebin? [18:46] BluesKaj: Yup, it was "echo 'blacklist bcm43xx' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist" sans quotations === dresken_ is now known as Dresken [18:48] FuseboxEllen, why is it blacklisted again ? [18:49] I was trying to get my wireless card working and following a guide on the ubuntu site for its model, but with help from the channel earlier was able to get it working. THe problem is that with the blacklist in place, every time the computer restarts I then need to sort out the wireless again due to the blacklist. [18:49] Ok, its being a bit weird but gimme a sec [18:49] anyone know where i can find glibc2.4 [18:49] deviance: sure [18:49] deviance: but my time for today is really running out [18:49] Ok ill be wuick [18:50] deviance: perhaps we have to go on tomorrow or you have to find anotherone ;) [18:51] Getting called away for dinner, back soon. [18:52] Anything I save and move over on a usb stick turns out as all Ys [18:53] hm? [18:53] did you unmount the stick before removing? [18:53] hi [18:54] Wolven_Pariah_UK, try glibc-docs in adept [18:54] ill check [18:54] Yeah [18:54] Lovely [18:55] I just xkilled the system tray [18:55] what repo is it in?? [18:55] Anyway to restore it without restarting? <_<; [18:55] Wolven_Pariah_UK, just glibc or glibc-doc [18:55] firestarter seems nice [18:56] seezer: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43684/ [18:56] it says i have glibc but truecrypt says otherwise.. [18:56] deviance: ok. could you please make sure your gateway has the ip you tried before? [18:57] How do I change it again, Ill try a different one taht I know works [18:58] deviance: ifconfig wlan0 IP netmask 255.255.255.0 [18:58] Ok [18:58] Im getting a ping this time :D [18:59] yay ;) [18:59] I am pretty sure anyway :P [18:59] after installing JVM, do i need to restart? [18:59] so "route add default gw IPOFYOURGATEWAY" [18:59] help; I can't upgrade to 7.10 [18:59] 404 while downloading update files [18:59] !upgrade | themusicguy [18:59] themusicguy: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [18:59] deviance: and then `echo "nameserver IPOFYOURGATEWAY > /etc/resolv.conf"` [18:59] had the same problem, just download the alternate install disk, [19:00] but nack up all your data on removeable media [19:00] but back up all your data on removeable media === christian_ is now known as TakeoOtori [19:00] seezer should my IP of the gateway be the same of my routers IP? [19:01] Hey. does anyone know of any solutions to problems with suspend to disk or ram? i don't have the fglrx driver.. my video card's an intel gma950. [19:01] right router==gateway [19:01] So, the router is 192.168.2.1, the gateway should be too [19:01] deviance: exactly [19:01] Because I might be pinging myself [19:02] ubotu: thats for Ubuntu, I'm using Kubuntu === christian_ is now known as TakeoOtori === TakeoOtori is now known as TakeoOtri [19:02] Surely then ping 192.168.2.1 would ping myself? [19:02] deviance: ah. pinging yourself should work always ;) [19:02] DrUnKnMuNkY, the fglrx driver is for ATI graphics cards , not Intel [19:02] again. [19:02] they are similar in many ways [19:02] Well, the gateway was set to the same as the ping, so it was going to work [19:02] deviance: what did you set with "ifconfig"? [19:02] 192.168.2.1 [19:02] ok. then you ping yourself. :) [19:02] Oh I know, ill try one out of my range [19:03] ifconfig wlan0 YOUR_IP netmask 255.255.255.0 [19:03] route add default gw ROUTER_IP [19:03] BluesKay: I'm aware. I know that there is a known issue with this with fglrx drivers and I've been asked if I have an fglrx card a number of times after asking this question. Just trying to save a question. [19:04] My ping doesnt get any answer :( [19:04] Oh maybe [19:04] deviance: do you use the same router right now? [19:04] Hmm, my wireless usb stick is flashing and it hasnt doen that for a while [19:04] Yeah [19:05] anybody having a 404 when trying to upgrade to 7.10? [19:05] so check the ip configuration there please [19:05] themusicguy: ubotu is a bot so his answers are automated. try this page for kubuntu: http://www.kubuntu.org/download.php [19:05] I am on windows here [19:05] ipconfig here says my gateway is 192.168.2.1 [19:05] DrUnKnMuNkY, fglrx drivers don't work on Intel graphics cards ...they are written for ATI cards [19:06] and your ip differs from the "problem-pc" right? [19:06] DrUnKnMuNkY: bot? Yeah...I just realized that. [19:06] .j ps3dev [19:06] Yeah the IP on here is 2.4 [19:06] can you ping 2.5 from your computer? [19:06] I think the problem is dhcp should auto assign IP's but for somereason isnt [19:06] And back. [19:06] DrUnKnMuNkY: do I really have to download the ISO? [19:06] if you set one yourself it's fine [19:07] dhcp does nothing you can't do by hand ;) [19:07] how do i shut off compiz? [19:07] Nope, host unreachable [19:07] seezer: try killall compiz [19:07] works for me [19:07] themusicguy: that's the only way I know of for installing ubuntu/kubuntu, since you can't be running any other OS while you install it. you'll have to boot for CD [19:07] from CD* [19:07] your wlan (iwconfig) looks good, so it really should be a problem of routing or something [19:08] thats brute, i was thinking of a normal shutdown method [19:08] paste me "route -n" please [19:08] but i really have to go in a few minutes [19:08] but I already have 7.04 installed and Adept is giving me the "upgrade version" button [19:08] Ok, I have one row that says destination 169.254.0.0 gateway 0.0.0.0 genmask 255.255.0.0and the interface isnt wlan0 [19:09] I need to set up a route I think [19:09] I've never had to use a CD for an upgrade before [19:09] or DVD [19:09] Its my ethernet interface [19:10] themusicguy: sorry i didn't realize you were upgrading. type sudo apt-get install update-manager and that should install the ubuntu upgrade manager [19:10] ARGG [19:10] I hate this [19:10] deviance: you should have a minimum of 2 routes [19:10] I have a second one where everything is set to 0 [19:10] one destination 192.168.2.0 gateway 0.0.0.0 blabla iface wlan0 [19:11] Nope not there atall [19:11] and one destination 0.0.0.0 gateway 192.168.2.1 blabla wlan0 [19:11] How do I add a route [19:11] route add default gw IP [19:11] sets the ip [19:11] (of your default gw) [19:11] but your interface seems down [19:12] just paste "ifconfig wlan0" again please [19:12] it should have a line like " UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1" [19:12] an a inet addr: 192...

"the command "kicker" failed to run: Faild to execute child process "kicker" (no such file or directory) [19:49] themusicguy,try this in the konsole : sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [19:49] How do I disallow a user to change their password? [19:49] the upgrade tool seems to be stuck. [19:50] hey guys im trying to get Wine for my kubuntu install but the WINEHQ only has it for ubuntu will that still work on kubuntu? [19:50] TheWozA: probably. [19:50] I think I tried that once; it seems ok [19:51] themusicguy: it takes a while. it may unfreeze [19:52] TheWozA: wine is not dependant on any gnome or kde packages, so yes, it'll work [19:53] TheWozA: unless you're running 64bit [19:54] k thx [19:55] gah lame [19:55] my terminal just closed when i tryed installing ati drivers [19:56] has anyone in here experienced usb mass storage problems with gutsy? === krs is now known as weuihwieur [19:58] jakob_SDU: no way, I actually have a usb mass storage device that didn't work *until* gutsy [20:00] trappist: weird... It's a bitch 'cause I cant' download from my camera :-\ [20:01] PLUS it's the same on my laptop AND desktop box. === morbid is now known as morbid_ === morbid_ is now known as morbid [20:04] hi, i'm trying to set up a wireless connection on my kubuntu laptop via an ASUS PCMIA card [20:04] i'm in the network settings panel, and have filled in all the fields, i think === StasV is now known as LegolasV [20:04] still no dice [20:04] DrUnKnMuNkY: its still stuck. Hard drive's not doing anything. [20:05] does anyone have any ideas? [20:07] Bunnywabbit2: Do you have the network manager applet visible? [20:07] yes, thanks [20:07] Hi I've got a little problem on ssh X11 forwarding " forwardX11 yes" and "X11 forwarding yes" are set both on my server and client yet I can't display xclock. xhost + (on server) gives an error (actually it hangs by now) and "export DISPLAY=client_ip:0.0" gives " Error: Can't open display:192..." and "export DISPLAY=server_ip:0" results in a hang but no xclock on the server screen. [20:07] looking at it [20:08] alexmic: you don't want to export DISPLAY when you do ssh X11 forwarding [20:08] it picked up my essid fine [20:08] i'm not sure about whether the authorization went ok [20:09] trappist: well actually I do :p, but only in the local network... [20:09] som one swedish here? [20:09] need som help whit wine^^ [20:09] alexmic: what makes you think you do? [20:11] nån som kan hjälpa mej instalera wine? [20:11] when i run compiz --replace, I get this error message. Why? http://pastebin.org/7346 [20:11] hi im having trouble setting up my wireless network card [20:12] hello [20:12] does kubuntu's network settings applet support TKIP encryption? [20:12] testing bitchx [20:12] trappist: well, first of all for testing reasons, see if it works well and stuff, and eventually see if I can launch X apps in a "screen" session on a deported PC (with more CPU and disk space) and check the progress not having to start the monitor (which happen to be my TV) for that. [20:12] its a netgear wg311tv1 [20:12] kthxbai [20:12] !se [20:12] Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du pa #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se [20:12] Zyntax: English please. Höhö. [20:12] anton_: okey [20:13] Bunnywabbit2: it should.. Haven' tried myself though. [20:13] i have very high iowait cpu usage and would like to find out why. can anyone help me? [20:13] Zyntax: I'll link a guide...hold on [20:13] ok [20:13] ok...he left... [20:14] alexmic: when you forward X11 over ssh, your X11 connection automatically goes back to the client over an encrypted channel. when you export DISPLAY you override that and try to make X11 connect directly to another X session [20:14] weird. So is there any way to figure out what is going wrong? [20:14] dedi, install htop , it lists all running apps and services and how much cpu they're using [20:14] can any help me with setting up a netgear wg311t wireless net work card [20:15] trappist: ok, good to know... and how can I reset my DISPLAY value? === themusicguy is now known as themusicguy_AWAY [20:16] BluesKaj: its the iowait causing the usage, you cant see that there [20:16] strange yet because I think I tried xclock from scratch with no success... [20:16] alexmic, maybe with "DISPLAY=:0"? [20:17] hello is there any 1 that can help me set up my wireless network card :) [20:18] Bunnywabbit2: If it doesn't detect the encryption method correctly it might be a driver problem. You using ndiswrapper? [20:18] i don't know what that is [20:18] Arwen: trappist : well it worked but actually showed the clock on the server side ;) [20:19] i'm not sure about the encryption method, itś just the only setting i can t find a corresponding field for [20:19] logged out and in and now xclock "Error: Can't open display:" [20:19] Bunnywabbit2: Usually it will autodetect the correct auth method, if the card is supported [20:21] how could i start sshd from livecd? [20:21] ?? [20:22] /etc/init.d/sshd or ssh start ....doenst wort!!! [20:22] well, it probably got the password type correct, i don't remember. There is no setting for encryption type, so i guess it supposed to figure that out on its own. [20:22] I would assume you'd need to install sshd, cplusplus [20:22] on livecd? [20:22] or, openssh-server [20:22] cplusplus: are you sure sshd is included in the cd? [20:22] alexmic, it's not [20:22] the asus CD comes with driver packages i'm supposed to compile, which i don know how to do. [20:22] and now? [20:23] i need ssh on livecd [20:23] !! [20:23] Bunnywabbit2: for linux ? :-) [20:23] * Bunnywabbit2 is fiddling with his first linux install [20:23] no need to yell, "apt-get install openssh-server" [20:23] :) [20:23] ok [20:23] failed to fetch... [20:23] http://arschive.ubuntu.com ... not found [20:24] err yes, the drivers are for linux [20:24] lol [20:24] alexmic: try ssh -v -X hostname and look for: debug1: Remote: No xauth program; cannot forward with spoofing. [20:24] ah need update [20:24] no [20:24] lol [20:24] heh [20:24] alexmic: or take the shortcut and sudo apt-get install xauth on the remote machine :) [20:25] Bunnywabbit2: If they release souce drivers, they are probably included already [20:25] ah, interesting tidbit: in the network-name dropdown list, it shows my network as 0% [20:25] this is a dual boot system, and XP works fine, so itś not a hardware thing [20:25] cplusplus, the URL is : http://archive.ubuntu.com/ [20:26] so i guess i'm lost in driverland [20:26] trappist: xauth is already up to date :( [20:26] alexmic: look for other hints in ssh -v (and xauth is already installed on both ends?) [20:27] problem -> http://www.rafb.net/p/JPhrT232.html [20:27] alexmic: maybe you could pastebin the output of ssh -v -X hostname [20:28] whats wrong bluekaj? [20:29] cplusplus, dunno if the breezy reositories are still being maintained ...that's a rather outdated kubuntu release [20:29] and now? [20:29] err repositories [20:29] jakob_SDU: ah sorry i missed your last chat [20:29] any solution? [20:29] oh, breezy repositories are taken down [20:29] you should upgrade [20:29] trappist: sure, (btw yes xauth is on both sides) http://pastebin.com/d41a82086 << here [20:29] fuck....thats the only livecd [20:29] say, why do you need to ssh to a livecd? [20:30] to repair somth [20:30] err.. [20:30] cplusplus, just to be sure run this in the konsole: lsb_release -a [20:30] jakob_SDU: so how do i find out if the card is installed properly? === jorhumcc is now known as kuadrosx [20:31] cplusplus, to upgrade the newest kubuntu release, http://kubuntu.org/download.php [20:31] alexmic: unfortunately there's nothing there describing a problem with X11 forwarding. you don't maybe set your DISPLAY in a .bashrc or similar on the remote end, do you? [20:31] shitt [20:31] sucks [20:32] !language | cplusplus [20:32] cplusplus: Please watch your language and topic, and keep this channel family friendly. [20:33] Bunnywabbit2: If it detects the network name it must be installed-- but if it doesnt work then that's the tricky bit ;-) [20:33] trappist: Nope grep X11 or DISPLAY on .bashrc gives nothing [20:34] well, it does detect the network name, but does not receive correctly. [20:35] neither on /root/.bashrc nor /etc/bash.bashrc [20:35] alexmic: wait you're doing this as root? [20:35] of course not [20:35] ok :) [20:36] alexmic: and your sshd_config on the remote end says X11Forwarding yes ? [20:37] jakob_SDU: hmmm ... okay, is there some kind of diagnostic tool out there that i can use ? [20:37] trappist: yes http://pastebin.com/d3b226cf2 [20:38] (bottom) [20:39] alexmic: I'm stumped :/ [20:39] Bunnywabbit2: I'm no expert, I would google the card model with "linux driver" to find out if it's supported by the kernel. If it's not, you can probably use the "ndiswrapper" thing, which is a bit tricky, but there are some good guides :) [20:40] jakob_SDU: okay, iĺl try the that [20:40] including the ndiswrapper thing [20:40] trappist: strange thing is not it, thanks for your help anyway, really appreciated. If I come across a solution I will come back here to tell you [20:40] thanks for helping, i have to go now [20:41] alexmic: that would be great, thanks [20:41] i'll be back with more delightful issues :) [20:41] good day, afternoon, evening or night [20:42] trappist: and anyway as you said, X forwarding is evil so... === gerhard is now known as gerhard__ [20:43] I might even be able to achieve with dcop ! [20:43] anyone know the command line to get twinview for extended desktop with Nvidia? [20:49] alexmic: what are you trying to do? [20:50] Does anyone have a plug and play linux wireless card at all?

[20:55] my other question was about the grub installer. it offered to install that on sda, not my external USB2 drive.. so is it going to mean my windows sda drive will not boot unless USB2 drive is plugged in now..?

I formated the hdd and clean install... no ideas [21:06] any1 know how to change icon size on desktop (just one)? [21:07] lovre: you can't [21:07] Hi, have just bought a belking F5D8051 N1 wireless USB adaptor that i would like to install using ndiswrapper. I have gutsy 64 bit installed. IS it likely that the ndiswrapper will work with the 32bit driver supplied. (have already had problems with a D link 32bit driver hence replacement device). [21:07] until KDE4:D === darlos is now known as darklos [21:07] xapper: 32 bit driver with 64 bit linux will not work [21:08] !hardware | xapper [21:08] xapper: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [21:08] nosrednaekim: too bad :( [21:08] thats nosred, ill have to take the damn thing back and try something different [21:08] hello [21:08] can i at leat enlarge all icons on desktop? (not the ones in d3lphin) [21:08] xapper: yeah... research next time, there are linux supported ones [21:08] lovre: maybe...IDK. [21:09] yeah i did some reserach but it stil lwasnt easy and didnt pay off [21:09] what is the video card help channel? [21:09] IDK? [21:09] if i revert to 32bit ubuntu it might just work [21:10] lovre: I don't know [21:10] xapper: possibly [21:10] lovre do you know about grub? [21:10] my other question was about the grub installer. it offered to install that on sda, not my external USB2 drive.. so is it going to mean my windows sda drive will not boot unless USB2 drive is plugged in now..? [21:10] boggystudios: take a look at this: http://rss.slashdot.org/Slashdot/slashdot [21:10] can anyone recommend a good usb wireless for 64bit either pci or usb? [21:11] see if you can find something that's necessary [21:11] here's a thought for wireless problems (if the money's available) - would those wired > wireless game console adapters work? [21:12] it's essentially a wired connection to an AP, from there it's wireless to the main router [21:12] xapper: my usb edimax works well.. think that will work on 64bit? shows up as ZyDAS [21:13] should "ubiquity" take so long to install on lapotp? === ian__ is now known as ian| [21:14] ah cool thanks now3d [21:14] i was starting to think Zydas chipset was the way to go [21:14] better than cacky broadcom! [21:16] !hardware | xapper [21:16] xapper: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [21:16] yeah ive looked there thanks guyz, have it bookmarked [21:17] how do i download firefox [21:17] kman: open adept, search for firefox and mark it as install. [21:17] An easier way is to tupe "sudo apt-get install firefox -y" in a terminal. [21:17] where are icons placed in kubuntu? [21:18] lovre: /usr/share/icons [21:18] the -y option is not recommended. [21:18] ok next question, once i get my wireless up and running i want to use my ubuntu os as a media server (im trying to get rid of XP!!!). is there and equivalent of Tversity for linux that can convert audio/video on the fly so i can access it on ps3? [21:19] it did not work wulong [21:19] What did it say? [21:20] Daisuke_Laptop: why is -y not recommended in this case? firefox don't depend on many packages. [21:20] how to watch webcam in pidgin? [21:20] just not good form - remember, this is part of what made automatix so volatile [21:20] in this case, it wouldn't hurt [21:21] but getting into the habit of using -y is likely to create issues down the line [21:22] i think elisa media center can stream content but i dont think it has on the fly capability (looks like ill be stuck with xp a while longer) [21:22] linuxmce? [21:24] Hi! I'm trying to upgrade to kubuntu 7.10 and followed the instructions on http://kubuntu.org/announcements/7.10-release.php#upgrade [21:25] When I'm finish the Version Upgrade (http://www.kubuntu.org/~jriddell/kubuntu-upgrade/snapshot8.png), nothing happens. [21:26] sorry about that [21:26] ian|: got to terminal and do "apt-get update;apt-get upgrade;apt-get dist-upgrade" as root. [21:26] it said "Package firefox is not available, but is referred to by another package." [21:26] Wulong: i will try so [21:27] BTW: On konsole, the error "Unable to get exclusive lock. This usually means that another package management application (like apt-get or aptitude) is already running. Please close that application first." is stated [21:27] kman: apt-get install mozilla-firefox then. [21:27] !adeptfix | ian| [21:27] ian|: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [21:27] I think this is caused by the running adept_manager. In the message box is said that adept_manger will close. But this does not happen. [21:28] ian|: do what ubotu just said. [21:28] nosrednaekim, Wulong: I that 1 milisecond when the version-upgrade is started? [21:29] The locking program is the running adept_manager which starts the version updater. [21:29] what's wrong with this line: find . -name '*.zip' -exec unzip '{}' -d `sed s/.zip/_/ '{}'` \; [21:29] * nosrednaekim 's eyes hurt [21:30] dragonath: what are you trying? [21:30] Wulong: dist-upgrade is not a version upgrade [21:31] to find every zip file and unzip them to a directory named just like the zip file without the extension === QMehdi is now known as mehdi_ === mehdi_ is now known as mehdi__ [21:34] dragonath: try: for i in $(find . -name '*.zip');do unzip -d ${i%%.zip} $i;done [21:35] doesn't work with folder names that have spaces in [21:36] dragget rid of the quotes on the .zip part maybe [21:36] how can i create a bluetooth pan between 2 kubuntu pc's ? === michael_ is now known as DarkLegacy [21:36] you mean - find . -name *.zip -exec unzip '{}' -d `sed s/.zip/_/ '{}'` \; ? [21:37] ok, my Kubuntu install seems to have died [21:37] dragonath: try it.... I never used quotes. [21:37] or not [21:37] it looks... maybe... it might be running again [21:38] well it does find the zip files [21:38] but it can't get it's ass to exctract them :) [21:40] dragonath: what about: for i in "$(find . -name '*.zip')";do unzip -d "${i%%.zip}" "$i";done [21:40] Ok, ive been looking in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport to try and track down a wireless usb or pci adaptor to work with 64bit install of gutsy. Doesnt always seem too clear about which system (32/64) the adaptors work on. does anyone have a wireless card working on 64bit gutsy? [21:42] xapper: anything that has native support (i.e. without ndiswrapper) will work with both 32 and 64 bit [21:42] smile_yess, yes? [21:42] dragonath: even: for i in "$(find . -name '*.zip')";do unzip -d "${i%%.zip}" "$i";tar -cjvf "${i%%.zip}".tar.gz "${i%%.zip}";done - might do what you really want. not sure how it works with subdirs. as $i will contain the path from the current dir. [21:42] pagi.................. [21:42] thanks nosred [21:42] hello people of kubuntu [21:42] hmm [21:43] can one use katapult in gnome? [21:43] helooooooooo............. [21:43] hai............. [21:43] Hey guys [21:43] I have Compiz running [21:43] And I have wobbly windows on, it's great and all [21:43] But how to I see the huge desktop cube? [21:43] heyyyyyyyyy................. [21:43] it says bad substitution [21:43] what............ [21:44] DarkLegacy: you may have to enable it in the compizconfig-settings-manager [21:44] The settings manager is running [21:44] I enabled "Desktop Cube" [21:45] katapult in gnome - possibilee? [21:45] darkleg, first make sure you have four desktops [21:45] livingdaylight: I think so' [21:46] you just need some kde compatibility thingies [21:46] DarkLegacy: try ctrl+alt+right arrow [21:46] then hold down ctrl and alt and left click and drag mouseat edge of desktop [21:46] Ctrl Alt Right arrow flips to desktop #2 [21:46] alright guys.?? [21:46] Oh [21:46] Ctrl + Alt [21:46] dragonath: APT would install katapult in gnome? [21:46] And drag [21:46] I see, thank you xapper [21:46] I only have two desktops [21:46] np [21:46] How do I enable all four? [21:46] i thought it was a kde thingy only [21:47] DarkLegacy: general-> desktop size->horizontal desktop size [21:47] right click on the desktops in bottom right hand corner and select in preferences [21:47] Beautiful, thank you [21:47] 4 columns 1 row (in ubuntu) not sure in KDE [21:48] Man, this is freaking COOL! [21:48] I love it! [21:48] anyone here know for sure whether katapult works in gnome? sorry to ask here but over at ubuntu dey not sure [21:48] livingdaylight: try it :D [21:48] Abuse! [21:48] yeah it does [21:48] Yay! I loved that game. [21:48] well it loads up ok [21:48] Linux seems to be only 4 years behind Windows 3D game development. [21:49] Er, 3 years*. [21:49] Wolfenstein 3D: Enemy Territory is our latest [21:49] As well as Doom 3 [21:49] nosrednaekim: that's one way, but i don't wanna download half the kde libraries to find out that it doesn't, know hwat i meant ese? :s [21:49] i use ps3 for gaming, not much of gamer on pc [21:49] livingdaylight: yes, with all the stuff it needs I think [21:49] livingdaylight: ah [21:50] join donk.............?????????? [21:51] I'm a heavy PC gamer [21:51] So that's why I had to dual boot Kubuntu/WindowsXP32 [21:51] After installing Kubuntu, and going back into Windows; it felt like I was playing with Gerber toys. [21:51] Linux required so much effort to install properly on RAID-0, it just blew my mind. [21:51] It installed so quickly also (copying from CD) [21:52] But I'm glad I made the switch [21:52] DarkLegacy: yeah... I did RAID1 on my friends computer... took 3 hours on windows, 30 minutes on linux [21:52] On Windows, it took me less than 20 minutes to reformat unfortunately [21:52] I slipstreamed SP2, latest updates, and RAID drivers onto the CD [21:52] ah. :D [21:52] So it came with most of the stuff filled in already [21:52] All I had to do was sit back and watch it go [21:53] of course... this was hardware RAID [21:53] With Linux, there was the installing dmraid, partitioning manually, formatting manually, configuring grub manually, aghh >_< [21:53] which I guess is the exact opposite by way of comaptibility [21:53] Three hours to install Kubuntu on RAID-0 [21:53] Which isn't that bad [21:53] I'm suprised by the amount of my hardware that's supported [21:53] DarkLegacy, I did the same, but Cedega allowed me to give up Windows entirely. [21:53] DarkLegacy: That's horrible [21:54] It recognized my ethernet card, my raid drivers, my video card, my monitor, etc [21:54] Even my sound card! [21:54] So in terms of drivers, Kubuntu is ++ [21:54] Recognized everything, first boot [21:54] what is katapult btw? [21:54] Let me try out Abuse now (game) :) [21:54] xapper: quick launcher [21:54] !katapult [21:54] katapult is the new application launcher for KDE, to be used with applications, bookmarks, and Amarok playlists. Once you have installed, hit Alt+f2 -> katapult, then hit Alt+Space, and type what you want. [21:55] I think it's funny, Kubuntu could handle my sons sound card and windows can't. (company which made it was bought by CL, who quietly dropped the drivers a few years back) [21:55] DarkLegacy, Which games? [21:55] DarkLegacy: Kinda funny that people are still amazed that Linux even installs on the computer. Guess that means we still have a way to go [21:56] People should be outraged when it doesn't [21:56] Well, the amount of work required to install Kubuntu on a RAID-0 config is daunting at first [21:57] !myth [21:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about myth - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:57] Abuse is running very well [21:57] !mythtv [21:57] MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV [21:57] SDL [21:57] MythTV?

[21:58] i tried to install it on my dads pc the other evening and couldnt get it to work [21:58] ive set up mythtv before so im familier with it.....but is there a guide to setting it up without mythbuntu? [21:58] I manually configured my wireless connection once, and now I can't get NetworkManager to take control again. How do I do it? [21:58] xapper: Welcome to Kubuntu [21:58] But yeah, compared to like [21:58] Knoppix back in 1994 [21:58] Linux has come a really far way [21:58] Thanks Daskreech! [21:58] roob: did you even read what ubotu said ? [21:59] yes [21:59] DarkLegacy: Duuuuh. But not far enough apparently [21:59] they all want you to install mythbuntu...which i dont want. i installed it a few days ago and it installed ALL sorts of servers(apache being one) and whole new desktop.... [21:59] LogicalDash: edit /etc/network/interfaces and erase all of the entries [21:59] Im hoping that Microsoft OS's for me will soon be a distant memory [21:59] it bit much when all i want is mythtv === StasV is now known as LegolasV [22:00] roob: Did you look at the URL ? [22:00] roob: ah... well, any mythtv guide whould do then [22:00] well i ran into issues with the data base set up. [22:00] there was no provided mythDB to import [22:01] im used to installing it then importing the original DB then running mythfilldatabase [22:01] oh [22:03] How do I enable wireless roaming mode? [22:03] Hey guys, my sound card is recognized by Linux, but no sound comes out when I try to play something :P [22:03] also does anyone here use ivtv? and possibly ivtv-channel.py ...ive use this script for a while now ..but now on kubuntu it no longer works. [22:17] how do I know what file system do I have? [22:18] what command in the terminal can I use to see information on the file system [22:18] ?? [22:19] anybody?

[22:56] tinin: just apt-get remove dolphin [22:57] bmk789 thanx [22:57] it sux [22:58] i know it will be better in kde4, but not now [23:01] go into konqueror's settings and set it as the default rather than d3lphin [23:02] and i can say from minor experience that the kde4 version of dolphin does not suck half as bad as d3lphin. [23:02] press alt+f2, type kcontrol [23:02] go to file associations, then inode?directory [23:02] move konqueror up on the list [23:02] first thing i did when i installed gutsy [23:07] wish to replace dolphin with konqueror? follow the instructions at http://sathyasays.com/?p=23 but the opposite (as the article is how to replace konqueror with dolphin) === Mez|Away is now known as Mez [23:14] anyone here good with wine emu???? like improving emulation fps?

[23:31] my rules allow any any, [23:32] That's weird. I don't know what your problem is. [23:32] Perhaps posting in the ubuntu forums? [23:32] when the firewall is off and my virtual machine is on there is no session tracking the vm uses pat for outgoing but the port is unknown so the packet is lost.

Do you mean for when I need to use Konq as an FTP client to use sftp? [23:39] BigDady were you against the idea of using ssh? the kde client handle is fish://user@host [23:39] BigDaddy: you can use sshd/ssh to transfer files. sftp on the command line uses ssh but provides an ftp-like interface. in konqueror, instead of ftp://user:pass@ip:port/ you could use sftp which is ftp-like ssh access; then you have the security of ssh rather than the plaintext passwords of ftp [23:39] installation is as easy as apt-get install ssh [23:39] fish [23:40] WaltzingAlong: So I would need an ssh server instead of an ftp?

[23:47] Hello. I'm trying to use compiz as my default WM for KDE (with emerald as decorator since kde-window-decorator is crappy) [23:48] I managed to set everything up so that when I start compiz from an already open KDE session, it works fine [23:48] So I created a new XSession entry that will start KDE with compiz as the default WM, leaving the original one intact (just in case) [23:49] my problem is that I need indirect rendering to be enabled, or I weird stuff starts happening. [23:50] lordofthepigs: which you could do by changing the driver in /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:50] my xession, calls /usr/local/bin/startcompiz.sh as startup script [23:50] TheWozA: which 7zip install bug? [23:50] and the startup script is just this: [23:50] export KDEWM="INTEL_BATCH=1 LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 compiz --indirect-rendering --force-aiglx --sm-disable" [23:50] exec startkde [23:50] help... konqueror no connect ............. [23:51] firefox connection no problem ... [23:51] and konqueror and kopete no connect.. [23:51] My problem is that when I set KDEWM to simply "compiz" it works fine but when I set it to "compiz --indirect-rendering" the session doesn't start [23:51] the KDE splash screen stops before activating the "starting window manager" icon [23:52] i get an error when trying to install through apt installer [23:52] downloads everything comes to setting up then says wierd error [23:53] So my question is: What is the right way to specify KDEWM? [23:53] TheWozA: sudo aptitude -f install [23:53] i go into regional and language settings, set a language and a variant... the language is set ok but the variant setting seems to be ignorad, any idea why? [23:55] !aptfix > TheWozA [23:55] lordofthepigs- I had trouble getting compiz to work as the default window manager last time I tried. I found it was easier to just start it myself after KDE is done starting [23:55] i really need some help, about 10 minutes ago my keyboard stoped working.. I didn't install anything new, or change any files.. I know its not the KB itself, because i can login.. anyone have any suggestions? [23:56] Dragnslcr: so you didn't find any way to do it? [23:56] it just completely does nothing once loged in.. an issue with xorg.conf? [23:56] I followed the instructions here : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/131013/comments/12
