I'm running Kubuntu 7.10 on my other PC. About 10 minutes ago while using inkscape, my ps\2 Keyboard just completely stoped working.. I've checked the connection in the back of the PC and its good, rebooted and allows me to type my password.. but once loged in.. i can't get the Keyboard to do anything.. Anyone come across this issue? or know how to fix it? [00:02] what's the ccp plugin for compiz? === Trevi is now known as Trevinho [00:04] Kubuntu Gutsy is not shipping with compiz-fusion installed (or enabled). It can still be installed though.

[00:50] !info kxineplayer [00:50] Package kxineplayer does not exist in gutsy [00:50] i have a problem with it.

extract? [00:57] draik- very carefully [00:57] waltzing along: i'm planning to format my harddrive [00:57] Dragnslcr: Ok.... [00:57] What is the command to extract EXE files? [00:58] rasmus__- I'm not sure, but I would guess that your settings are stored somewhere in ~/.kde [00:58]

you mean a zip file? [00:58] rasmus__: then you should backup your /home/user folder and its contents [00:58] P: I believe so. I did it once, but I don't recall how I did it. [00:59] rasmus__- having /home on its own partition is definitely a good idea [00:59] Also, how do I make Firefox open maximized? [00:59]

you may need to install wine then [00:59]

wine can handle exe zip files [00:59] okay, grate! Thanx alot! [01:01] unzip file.exe [01:01] P: I know there's a command in Linux to unzip exe [01:01] WaltzingAlong: Is that the command?

[01:08] WaltzingAlong: how can i find that out from the output? [01:08] scorkik: sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg [01:08] scorkik: Not sure, I used automatix2 to get the codecs (Hope that is okay to post here) [01:09] are you accessing data from the drives? you could also check lsmod, see which modules are loaded. course then you would need to know which module would handle sataii disks [01:09] :( [01:09] MagicCow: no longer need that [01:09] MagicCow: and you can also go back to pure kde afterward http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde [01:09] WaltzingAlong: everything is on a single drive (4 partitions) [01:10] so things are working as expected. a module (driver) that worked was found as in use [01:10] bazhang: i already installed libxine1-ffmpeg , from some reason it didn't do anything except of installing it ... [01:10] Oh, yeah, one more thing.. when I am configuring my taskbar, and I am in menu, and I want to see Name and Description of my KDE "start menu" programs, I get "_: Entries in Kmenu" before a lot of the programs. [01:11] bazhang: when i opened amarok again it still didn't work [01:11] just hoping for 3 Gb/s ? ;0 [01:11] WaltzingAlong: the fact im using the sata hdd means that drivers for sataii are installed? couldnt it just be slower or something..... [01:12] hmm. strange [01:12] MagicCow: right mouse click the kmenu icon, panel menu, configure panel; then in menus, check either name only or description only [01:12] damn wierd [01:12] scorkik: did you restart amarok? [01:12] lovre: there may be things to do to speed them up [01:12] indid [01:13] scorkik: you know closing the window doesn't quit it--you have to go the wolf icon and choose quit [01:13] lol [01:13] WaltzingAlong: Aye, I did that, but was hoping I didn't have to. [01:13] not just that,,, i even reboot [01:14] i have no clue of what to do [01:14] WaltzingAlong: like? you got any idea? [01:14] i meen , every sound is working exept the mp3 and dvd stuff [01:15] scorkik: have you tried playing with something other than amarok? right click 'open with' === Gunther is now known as Gunth3r [01:25] I have that problem with regular mice [01:25] ok I probably found solution [01:25] scorkik: amarok says "some media could not be loaded not playable" [01:25] I'll leave the mouse alone, then I just barely touch it and the cursor flies all over the frickin' screen [01:25] oops [01:25] amerikanski: Well, system settings > keyboard & mouse > touch pad [01:25] bazhang: amarok says "some media could not be loaded not playable" [01:26] But there's a system tray program somewhere [01:26] I found touchpad unfit for me [01:26] The touchpad on my laptop is disabled in the BIOS :P [01:26]

Then he should have KRE if hes on Gutsy =\ [01:42] ok... [01:42] Hi, I am working on getting Amarok to play mp3's. [01:42] that's why I've been asking again and again and again... is scorkik on Gutys [01:43] I have been able to play mp3's but only as root. [01:43] see? now I make typos.. [01:43] heh. [01:43] so scorkik are you on Gutsy? [01:43] what's gutsy? [01:43] I am using Kubuntu gutsy... [01:43] please i don't know.. :/ [01:43] scorkik: what version of Kubuntu are you running? [01:43] tolstead, install libxine1-ffmpeg [01:43] how can i know? (i think one before the 7.1 [01:44] ah that explains it then [01:44] ahah [01:44] :/ [01:44] I have already done that, Amarok plays mp3's just fine as root, but as a normal user no go... [01:44] scorkik: "lsb_release -a" in Konsole will tell you what version [01:44] scorkik, type, in a Konsole, "lsb_release -a" and look at the release number. Is it 7.04? [01:44] ok [01:44] feisty [01:44] see? :) [01:44] 7.04 [01:45] it's not good? [01:45] blueskaj, did you get that? [01:45] scorkik: install libxine1-ffmpeg [01:45] i suppose i don't need to uninstall all the rest? [01:45] scorkik: no problems. we just needed to know which version you are running to give you the correct answer [01:45] no need to [01:46] my appologies this is my first shot at IRC... [01:46] jucato libxine1-ffmpeg is already the newest version [01:46] hm... [01:46] tolstead, yes i got that , but i have no idea how to fix it unless you set permissions up in amarok properties as root onlu user [01:47] scorkik: hat are you trying to listen to in Amarok [01:47] what* [01:47] Where do I look to correct the amarok permissions? === _czessi is now known as Czessi [01:48] mp3...not working , some default sound is working saying "u r using amarok bla bla bla" [01:48] but mp3 files not working [01:48] mp3's not working? hm... strange [01:48] I think that it is a permissions problem, but I installed the same as with fiesty... [01:49] i remmember when i tried to d/l codecs to play dvd's , it didn't work either [01:50] scorkik: did you rip the files to your computer? [01:50] does anyone have an idea how to correct the permissions for Amarok? [01:50] what do u meen by rip? [01:51] scrokik, copy files to your pc... [01:51] scorkik: put in an audio cd, then rip those files to mp3--to your hard drive [01:52] I'd go nuts without mp3s [01:52] tolstead, hmm, can't seem to find the amarok permissions either :( [01:52] nope. i have tones of mp3, do not use cd's but i can try..(which will take time for me to study ripping cd's do mp3's) [01:52] bazhang, you could always rip your CDs to -q7 Ogg Vorbis :) [01:53] NickPresta: very excellent point--though some of my music was not ripped on this machine, but on another--already in that format :{ [01:53] Blueskaj, perhaps it is an error in the permissions for the restricted codecs? [01:53] that's the wierdest line i have ever saw [01:53] scorkik: you have never heard the term 'rip'? [01:54] tolstead, dunno ..I use the restricted codecs without super user permission [01:54] bazhang, sometimes windows machines insert copyright protections to prevent the ripped files from playing on another machine... [01:54] ho i have heard "rip" ... but " CDs to -q7 Ogg Vorbis"..... mmm....??? [01:54] blusekak, I know I used to under feisty.... [01:55] how to unlock it? have any idea? [01:55] blueskak, must be some kinda bug... [01:55] damn [01:56] hello [01:56] scorkik: where do you tell amarok to look for your music? [01:57] hi sFEARs [01:57] ok, on with the hunt! [01:57] nowhere, i m just clicking the mp3 file... and when it doesnt play it i just tell him to play from music dir [01:57] what is it that your hunting? [01:58] i could install kubuntu 7.1 it worked very good but it had one wierd problam... it booted after 4-5 mimutes [01:59] with that problam i couldn't live :) [01:59] scorkik: what are your system specs? [01:59] specs? [02:00] cpu, ram.etc [02:00] ho [02:01] pentum m 1800 ibm r40 512mb (a bit old) but when i used to use windows it was pretty fast with games [02:01] new ones [02:02] scorkik: well how about never shutting it down :} [02:02] heh [02:02] it's a laptop... [02:02] it's already burning [02:03] more ram? [02:03] i don't believe that is the problam, cause it is a fast computer,, work very well.. i think it's a problam in booting hardware,, [02:04] probably Feisty is best for your laptop--weird music thing though. [02:04] scorkik: I suspect hardware, I have a older PIII laptop that works well. [02:04] with less RAM === jorhumcc is now known as kuadrosx [02:05] i have ndiswrapper.tar.tar on my desktop.. how do i install it? [02:05] like, right now my graphics card dosent work cause it dosent have drivers for kubuntu,, it's an ati (god, it looks like i just have problams) [02:06] scorkik: if you do upgrade, your mp3 problems will likely go away, then you can come here for your newer problems :} [02:06] lol [02:06] but you'll have music to solve them by... [02:07] yea i just need to finish my deploma firs, than i will get a good money and than... just than,, may b i will have a new laptop!

[02:22] I want to look at something entertaining/educational/time-consuming. [02:23] hm.. [02:23] gutsy's ok [02:23] ksudoku? :) [02:23] Jucato: Loving it, actually. I just wish Beryl was still around for it. [02:23] I never cared for sodoku [02:23] Beryl re-merged with Compiz and produced Compiz-Fusion [02:23] I hadn't sounds in feisty gutsy fixed the problem [02:24] Yeah, but compiz-fusion keeps using GNOME for the windows manager [02:24] Speaking of which, I still haven't managed to get "nvidia" to work. I don't have my OpenGL screensaver running. [02:24] bazhang [02:25] Only "nv" works for me right now.

[02:26] its the 9xxx series drivers from nvidia [02:26] That's what I read on a website. [02:26] * draik wishes he would have saved the link [02:27] biovore: What do you suggest? [02:27] Last time I looked, nvidia-glx-new is for 5xxx cards and above [02:27] I install it from nvidia's setup... [02:27] nvidia-glx is for 4xxx cards [02:27] allways have problems with ububntu's package.. [02:27] bazhang: in the repositories i have under authentication,,, "ubuntu automatic signin key" or** "ubuntu cd image automatic signin key" [02:27] Dragnslcr: That's what I read on the site [02:27] the other opthin of the cd is set... [02:28] what do u say? should i change? [02:28] I have all newer stuff here... So I am not sure where the card cut off is.. could be 4xxx [02:28] scorkik: nah. that wouldn't be it [02:28] !nvidia | biovore [02:28] biovore: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [02:28] 5xxx and FX cards and up are nvidia-glx-new [02:28] biovore: the wiki page for Nvidia has a link to the nvidia.com listing [02:29] scorkik: you still have the cd as a source? should disable that [02:29] mm ok..

[02:29] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV36 [GeForce FX 5700LE] (rev a1) [02:30] okay that didnt work i looked for the wallpaper config. but this is a little diffrent im remastering the cd so where would be the config? I looked in /usr/share/config.kcfg not right [02:31] bazhang: but what does that meen? signin key? [02:31] authentication [02:31] draik: this a laptop? [02:32] biovore: Desktop [02:32] one is on ftpmaster.@ubuntu.com and the other is cdimage@ubuntu.com [02:32] scorkik: that is to make sure you only install from trusted sources [02:32] ho [02:32] well if the cut-off for the glx-new driver is 4xxx series.. then the glx-new driver should work if you setup X correctlly.. [02:32] so remove the one that is "cd" [02:32] I am following the instructions for the restricted driver... I don't have that option under the Advanced tab from System Settings [02:33] hi, wondering if anyone knew the name of the Ubuntu package that has a kicker applet that shows the name of the kaddressbook contacts? [02:33] i uses to have it, but now i have forgotten it... [02:33] biovore: "then the glx-new driver should work if you setup X correctlly.."

[02:42] lovre- I have the same issue, but I think the refresh rate is being reported incorrectly [02:42] If my monitor's rate was 50 Hz, the flickering would probably drive me mad [02:43] Dragnslcr: this is LCD.

My desktop runs that.. I'll upload that xorg.conf file for you.. 1 sec.. [02:52] Ok [02:52] Thanks [02:53] How can I change the default view mode in konqueror? [02:53] How can I have firefox default to open maximized? [02:53] draik: http://www.biovore.net/Fileserver/Linux/gusty-xorg.conf [02:53] tuxwulf_: View menu -> View Mode. then Settings -> Save View Profile [02:54] back up your current xorg.conf first though.. [02:54] i figured it out. The kcontrol is lying. I used nvidia-settings to set up frequency to 75Hz (highest available for my lcd) and kcontrol says its @100Hz, what is impossible.:D [02:55] Jucato > Cool! Works! ... Sometimes in Linux there are things that work a little different than what I am used to... [02:55] :) [02:56] Here goes nothing. Thanks biovore [02:56] Oh well. On to the next problem ... sound in tvtime.... [02:57] In kreversi, does anyone know the difference between casual and competitive mode? [02:57] Hi === ubuntu is now known as ubuntu__ [02:57] tuxwulf_: why dont you use dolphin? [02:57] Hi [02:57] hi ubuntu__ [02:57] how to mount 2 partitions from live cd [02:57] hi lovre [02:57] sudo mount? [02:57] tuxwulf , what tv card setup do you use ? [02:58] lovre > eh... instead of konqueror? (I do not know what dolphin is except for an aqua-mammal...) [02:58] lovre, yes , i did sudo -1 mount -t [...] , but what after that [02:58] or video capture [02:58] lovre, what after the -t [02:59] [02:59] ok [02:59] like /dev/sda1 /media/myMount [02:59] tuxwulf_: what distro are you at? [02:59] oh ok [02:59] i will se now [02:59] see* [03:00] lovre > Fawn [03:00] biovore: Nope. didn't work [03:00] I'm using my backup [03:00] Here [03:00] *Here's what I don't understand... [03:00] lovre, why i get this [/bin/mount: /bin/mount: cannot execute binary file] [03:00] tuxwulf_: dolphin is a file manager thats default in 7.10 (Gutsy). Its actually a backport from KDE4, still testing i suppose. But its much better than konqueror if you ask me [03:01] I am using Kubuntu. KDE. I logout to restart X. If it fails, it hangs at a list of commands. I do the 3-finger salute. I restore my Xorg.conf file from the backup. I "startx". I am taken into GNOME. Why is that? [03:02] draik: probably the default session. [03:02] draik: in the startx script [03:02] nosrednaekim: How do I change that? [03:02] im not sure if its anyhow different when on live. Try 'mount' to see what you get [03:02] where is startx? [03:02] dolphin is not mu cuppa tea... defeated in my setup [03:02] lovre > I see... [03:03] nosrednaekim: Would you know how to change it? [03:03] draik: "type startx" and its ussually reccomend to start up KDM with "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart" [03:03] "type startx" tells you where it is [03:03] which startx [03:04] Hey! [03:04] I have Restricted Drivers in GNOME [03:04] It's not in use. [03:04] Check enable? [03:04] ubuntu__: ? [03:05] lovre, yes [03:05] ubuntu__: what are you trying to do? [03:05] lovre > ..

[03:05] lovre, to mount first part [03:06] is it NTFS ot ext2 or something else [03:06] ntfs [03:08] ubuntu__: you need to install the NTFS-3G driver for reading ntfs partitions from linux [03:08] !NTFS-3G [03:08] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

Wonder why it didn't get installed with the upgrade [03:21] MilesG: why should THAT be depressing..

Would you recommend using the adept method or the cd upgrade method? [04:14] varaonaid: See the topic for instructions [04:14] varaonaid: the command line method [04:15] I've never had good luck with upgrades, no matter what version of any distro. It's always been goofy. [04:18] WOAH [04:18] i tryed updating 7.04 to 7.10 but found it to be never ending updating and bugs so i just updated with the cd [04:25] everybody ok? [04:26] * Sudosu gets the IRC First Aid [04:27] Is there any way for me to open a .docx? [04:28] Sudosu: I think these netsplits causes noise enough, no need to fuss about it any further [04:28] nzk.. proally need to use WINE [04:28] and install office [04:29] sFEARs: untrue. [04:29] ok [04:30] i don't know if the version of OOo in the repos will do it yet [04:30] IF NOT, check this out: http://www.sigmundvoid.com/?p=81 [04:31] thanks for the help. i think i might just go with the cd upgrade. :) [04:32] not sure if anyone saw this cause of the splits but I'm having problems with k3b not working in gutsy.

[05:00] since the upgrade to kde 3.5.8, it seems the kde gui has been moving alot smoother, or is it my imagination [05:00] probably a little bit of both :) [05:01] cool === Rukus is now known as RukusX [05:11] !codecs [05:11] MagicCow: bot's down... netsplit [05:11] Doh. [05:12] Divx Codecs for linux? [05:12] libxine1-ffmpeg (usually) [05:12] MPlayer [05:12] divx/xvid is actually just a wrapper... it really depends on what format the real video and audio come in [05:12] (mplayer is not a codec though... but that works too) [05:12] yep, fun with freenode :| [05:12] I have mplayer, but it's streaming video from a site. === firephoto_ is now known as firephoto [05:13] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [05:13] how would I fix this horrible error?

[05:17] thanks Jucato. it's the one i use now when im at ircatwork.com instead of eddieftw [05:17] oh man... darwinia has native binary :) picked up game for $3.99 from outlet store [05:18] That game looked neat. === actuallypopular is now known as posingaspopular [05:19] ah much better [05:19] heh [05:19] poser [05:20] drarem, seen it for $10 here.. Silly Valve STEAM store online sells it for $20 [05:20] drarem, be sure to get the latest updates at the homepage. [05:20] found it at that popular outlet store, forget the name [05:20] drarem, and some extra user mods/levels [05:24] So.. this KDE4 beta thing, can anyone install and play with it? [05:25] You can. :) [05:25] It may be safer/easier to just use a KDE4 live cd as a test [05:25] MagicCow: I just compiled it and use it from svn. plenty of development has happened since beta 3. [05:26] I am too impatient. [05:26] though if you compile it, Id suggest only adding the dbus package suggested for gutsy and build your own kdesupport and qt [05:26] its not that bad [05:27] you compile it once and It does take a *while* [05:27] but after that it just updates a few things and your good to go [05:27] just the first compile is the painful once [05:27] "just because you can, doesn't mean you should (yet)" [05:28] for general user, KDE4 is far from usable === Agrajag` is now known as Agrajag [05:29] and doesnt offer anything you need to "just look at" yet [05:29] setting up a kde-dev user and switching between, not full kde4 replacing 3 [05:30] well I do. If only to file some bug reports (had a few of em fixed already). plus parley is indespensible for my arabic class ;) [05:31] should i install the game to /usr/local.. or to /home/drarem.., or does it really matter [05:31] bugs from svn not beta3 of course [05:33] speaking of kde4, if Hardy is LTS and plans on providing KDE4 packages, will the KDE4.0 (4.1?) packages be considered LTS? [05:34] or will it continue with kde4 updates but stay with the kde3 version that ships [05:34] or am I thinking more of a debian type LTS [05:35] LTS has always be "debian-type" stable imho... [05:36] kde4 pacakges, perhaps. [05:36] but hardy will still have KDE 3.5.x [05:37] so if kde4.0 is the release around Hardy time, providing LTS for it... [05:37] yes kde 3 as default [05:38] but does LTS cover the whole repository or just the kubuntu-destop default packages? [05:40] all packages that are officially supported by Canonical (main and restricted) [05:40] just curious. thats all. I was still on debian during dapper [05:40] but basically all of the repos [05:42] then youd backport the KDE4 changes? sounds daunting [05:43] you can't "backport" KDE4 [05:43] had to copy my wine installed directory over to the native folder, the .sh file couldn't mount my CD even though I was able to view the contents [05:43] ok, I missed this part: "CDs are available for those who prefer a complete KDE 4 environment without LTS" [05:44] thats pretty much answers it :p.
