| RdPB | i try using dmraid | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| BluesKaj | keith, it should be in the k-menu | 00:00 |
| RdPB | but... | 00:00 |
| BluesKaj | if it's motherboard then it's BIOS | 00:00 |
| keith | BluesKaj it is not showing up in the k-menu | 00:00 |
| JohnFlux | RdPB: in windows, did you have to do anything special to get it to work? | 00:01 |
| BluesKaj | keith, not in utililties | 00:01 |
| JohnFlux | RdPB: I'm trying to work out if it is software raid or hardware raid | 00:01 |
| RdPB | when i install windows i press f10 and pass the driver of the motherboard | 00:02 |
| JohnFlux | hmmm | 00:02 |
| JohnFlux | RdPB: what motherboard? | 00:02 |
| RdPB | MSI P965 platinum | 00:02 |
| keith | nope not in the utilities Blueskaj | 00:02 |
| RdPB | with fedora 8 and suse 10.3 its plays | 00:02 |
| JohnFlux | RdPB: if I google for that, I bet I find it is fake raid :( | 00:02 |
| BluesKaj | keith , try launching from the Konsole | 00:02 |
| keith | I tried vmware and got a bash error that so no such command. | 00:03 |
| urbmen | just incase I'm doing this wrong as for everything I have tried installing this eveing since installing Kubuntu has said it is missing some file or somthing have I missed anything out | 00:03 |
| keith | BluesKaj I am not certain that I have it installed correctly. | 00:03 |
| BluesKaj | right keith , i suspect that may be the case | 00:03 |
| JohnFlux | RdPB: it doesn't show up in ubuntu though? | 00:03 |
| keith | Can you help me get it installed correctly then blueskaj | 00:04 |
| RdPB | no | 00:04 |
| RdPB | when i run dmraid activate the raid | 00:04 |
| RdPB | when i see with fdisk -l i see the disk and with raid and without | 00:04 |
| RdPB | and when i try to install then its see many partions that are mapped | 00:05 |
| urbmen | as at the moment I am trying to install that w32 thing and it is saying libstdc++5 is missing so it can not install tat, so I get it, its an rpm file I type rpm -ivh (the file name) thats then needs a load of files | 00:05 |
| JohnFlux | RdPB: do you have a /dev/md0 ? | 00:05 |
| WaltzingAlong | urbmen: sudo aptitude install w32codecs ? | 00:05 |
| raylu | urbmen, are you still trying to install winamp? | 00:05 |
| BluesKaj | keith , it's been a while and I had help to install it too, but found it rather frustrating to use , so i removed it ..I won't be much help I'm afraid | 00:05 |
| sn00zer | howdy all, i'm having aptitude issues, i typically use apt-get but when i go into aptitude it wants to remove alot of packages because they are unused, but they aren't unused, amarok shows up on the list and its open at the time | 00:06 |
| BluesKaj | !VMWare | 00:06 |
| ubotu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 00:06 |
| RdPB | JohnFlux: i see /dev/sda | 00:06 |
| raylu | sn00zer, what operation do you want apt to actually do? | 00:07 |
| WaltzingAlong | sn00zer: if you have not been using aptitude all of the time then it does not know which items you installed elsewhere; it keeps track of that; sudo aptitude then find (main) ones it wants to remove, instruct aptitude to keep (add/install) it | 00:07 |
| JohnFlux | RdPB: is that sda the raid system? or just one of the hard disks? | 00:07 |
| WaltzingAlong | urbmen: add the medibuntu repositories then sudo aptitude update and then sudo aptitude install w32codecs | 00:07 |
| JohnFlux | RdPB: do you have a /dev/sda1 ? | 00:08 |
| sn00zer | i'm not trying to do anything in particular right now, but a few days ago i noticed it and want to fix it | 00:08 |
| keith | BluesKaj I am just trying to run XP so that I can use Quicken and Quickbooks, but virtualbox doesn't want to work well with screen resolutions. | 00:08 |
| WaltzingAlong | sn00zer: and my comments let you know how | 00:08 |
| RdPB | JohnFlux: can i post you to see it? | 00:08 |
| JohnFlux | RdPB: okay | 00:08 |

| raylu | what he said =\ | 00:09 |
| keith | Wine does not work well with bank downloads. | 00:09 |
| raylu | bank downloads = ? | 00:09 |
| keith | Wine does not work well at all. | 00:09 |
| JohnFlux | RdPB: do: ls /dev/sd* and post me the results of that | 00:09 |
| urbmen | I was about to give up then and go to bed as my brain feels like mush, but that seems to be working thank you | 00:09 |
| raylu | wine works for WoW; i'd be surprised if it couldn't handle a banking operation | 00:09 |
| ardchoille | urbmen: Give up? Welcome to the addiction :) | 00:10 |
| sn00zer | thanks waltzingalong | 00:10 |
| BluesKaj | will Open Office handle Quicken and Quickbook files and apps | 00:10 |

| stdin | FroggyTheGreat: it lets you set the native resolution for your GPU | 00:35 |
| FroggyTheGreat | I mean, where does one find it? | 00:35 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Or launch it? | 00:35 |
| stdin | FroggyTheGreat: you need to edit /etc/default/915resolution to have the settings you want, then it starts at boot | 00:36 |

| FroggyTheGreat | Let's try that then | 00:37 |

| yan | i uninstalled it cuz i have to install nvidia driver and they say to do that.. | 00:41 |
| stdin | you should use the packaged driver too | 00:42 |
| stdin | and you are going to need the restricted packages to get the wireless working | 00:42 |
| stdin | (i'm thinking it's a broadcom) | 00:42 |

| WaltzingAlong | !envy | yan | 00:43 |
| ubotu | yan: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 00:43 |

| yan | well.. it solved a lot of problem | 00:43 |

| WaltzingAlong | usually it steals from peter to pay paul | 00:44 |

| yan | so i need to reinstall kubuntu ? | 00:45 |
| WaltzingAlong | i00nsu__: maybe you wanted & at the end of that? | 00:45 |
| BluesKaj | stdin, ok , make looks like it finished with no errors , but should I run cmake again since it finished at 65% during the previous step ? | 00:45 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Oookay, 915reesolution is not finding 1680x1050, which is my LCD's intended resolution. | 00:45 |

| === ubuntu__ is now known as DreadKnight | ||
| stdin | BluesKaj: cmake is like the running "./configure" you should only need to run it once. but running it again will do no harm | 00:46 |
| yan | i should install restricted driver with apt-get or aptitude? | 00:46 |
| WaltzingAlong | yan: either or | 00:46 |
| WaltzingAlong | yan: but you can use the restricted manager to do it for you | 00:47 |

| DreadKnight | omg >_< | 00:48 |
| i00nsu__ | well... so kubuntu can run with two swap partions... and is nothing wrong with that? ok... and the end of rc.local file have this line> exit:0 ... this should be the probl? | 00:48 |
| stdin | BluesKaj: ok, seems it's all good then :) | 00:48 |
| DreadKnight | is there a desktop recording software using qt ... something similar to recordmydesktop_gtk ? | 00:49 |
| BluesKaj | stdin, coolness :) thx | 00:49 |

| WaltzingAlong | ok yan you know where to find us | 00:53 |
| i00nsu__ | something very very wrong here... none of the drives here is qtparted is the old drive instalation, so i cannot redit rc.local to delete the line... | 00:55 |
| WaltzingAlong | i00nsu__: booted from the livecd? then you may wish to mount your local hd | 00:56 |
| i00nsu__ | yes | 00:56 |
| i00nsu__ | hm | 00:56 |
| i00nsu__ | i have mounted all partiotion and none of them is the real | 00:57 |
| WaltzingAlong | i00nsu__: otherwise in the 'livecd' the hd that appears there is not your computer's hd | 00:57 |
| i00nsu__ | thats right | 00:57 |
| i00nsu__ | so _ | 00:57 |
| yan | back | 00:57 |

| yan | i just hope nothing break cuz of envy | 00:59 |
| yan | i need official nvidia driver, else i could not do dual screen... | 00:59 |
| WaltzingAlong | i00nsu__: so figure out which device that should be. qtparted should show it. then which partition, mount it sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/otherdrive -o defaults,rw something like that | 00:59 |
| yan | and the normal instal break xserver | 00:59 |
| yan | only envy worked.. | 00:59 |
| WaltzingAlong | yan, ok. or manual; and now restricted manager takes care of it | 00:59 |

| i00nsu__ | but WaltzingAlong if i try to startup normaly i can go sleep and to boot is stoped in execution rc.local .. | 01:00 |

| DreadKnight | m_tadeu: yes it does :) | 01:01 |
| WaltzingAlong | i00nsu__: yeah sorry i do not know enough about manually editing scripts there. look at some of the existing ones, follow that pattern; in the livecd you could mount the partition on the hard drive inside your computer (i just sent that command). then you could edit the files as needed through /media/otherdrive/etc/ and so on | 01:01 |
| FroggyTheGreat | I've got the xserver-xorg-video-i810 and xserver-xorg-video-intel packages installed -would they be conflicting? | 01:02 |
| i00nsu__ | the real is not here. WaltzingAlong it is not! sould i try mount /dev/ghost ? | 01:02 |
| m_tadeu | DreadKnight: well I'm trying to play an avi with a .sub that has the same name. it shows in the subtitles combo box, but no text on screen | 01:02 |
| WaltzingAlong | i00nsu__: that is a trick in itself | 01:03 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Anyone know which driver I need to be using for my Intel 845 graphics card? | 01:03 |

| WaltzingAlong | BluesKaj: /usr/lib/kde4 ? | 01:10 |
| yan | back, wifi wpa up and running... | 01:11 |
| WaltzingAlong | FroggyTheGreat: so in feisty and gutsy xserver-xorg-video-intel replaces i8xx and i9xx (you reported having 845) | 01:11 |
| yan | i would like to thanks you guys for you're help | 01:11 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Ok, so I uninstall i810 then. | 01:11 |
| FroggyTheGreat | right? | 01:12 |
| BluesKaj | WaltzingAlong, nope :( | 01:12 |
| MilitantPotato | FroggyTheGreat: install xserver-xorg-video-intel | 01:13 |
| WaltzingAlong | FroggyTheGreat: and no problem having more packages installed; could install xserver-xorg-video-all; pick which you want in sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh (intel) | 01:13 |
| FroggyTheGreat | xserver-xorg-video-all makes the others redundant then? | 01:14 |
| WaltzingAlong | just a meta package to grab all of them | 01:15 |
| MilitantPotato | it will check them all for you if I recall correctly. | 01:15 |

| inaety | how can i have the alt+f2 open to swiftfox instead of konqueror when i enter a web address? | 01:17 |
| WaltzingAlong | inaety: change default browser | 01:17 |
| inaety | WaltzingAlong: under what? | 01:17 |
| inaety | is there something in kcontrol | 01:17 |
| raylu | inaety, search for keyboard shortcuts in kcontrol | 01:18 |
| MilitantPotato | FroggyTheGreat: you can edit your xorg.conf to load the intel drivers, or reconfigure xserver | 01:18 |
| WaltzingAlong | inaety: yes search default applications | 01:18 |
| raylu | oh, wait, you want default applications | 01:18 |
| MilitantPotato | The GUI bit doesn't work for me either. | 01:18 |
| inaety | WaltzingAlong: ah i just found it. that was too easy, sorry to waste your time | 01:18 |
| WaltzingAlong | inaety: ha ha ;) | 01:19 |
| raylu | why doesn't firefox's "check now" for default browser work in gutsy and | 01:19 |
| raylu | is 2.0.0.9 in backports? | 01:19 |
| m_tadeu | anyone? my kaffeine is not playing .sub files | 01:20 |
| raylu | sub files are subtitles, aren't they? | 01:20 |
| m_tadeu | yup | 01:20 |
| raylu | oh, you mean read them? | 01:20 |
| inaety | m_tadeu: you right click in the video, go to subtitles, and choose them, i thought? | 01:20 |
| WaltzingAlong | are the 2.x.x.x firefox releases anything other than fixes for when on ms windows? | 01:21 |
| m_tadeu | I do...the subtitles are selected but don't apear on screen | 01:21 |
| WaltzingAlong | m_tadeu: not sure. in vlc i need to load subtitles by selecting from a menu | 01:21 |

| BluesKaj | Wonder what's wrong: ssh -X kde-devel@localhost ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused | 01:22 |
| m_tadeu | BluesKaj: I think you can't ssh to localhost....as far as I know | 01:23 |
| m_tadeu | BluesKaj: my mistake...you can :) | 01:23 |
| BluesKaj | well , the instructions : You can now run KDE 4 programs (e.g. kwrite) by typing: ssh -X kde-devel@localhost | 01:24 |
| m_tadeu | do you have openssh-server installed? | 01:25 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Oo, here's an offhand semiflamebait question - Anyone succeeded in getting Amarok to administer a Zune? | 01:25 |
| WaltzingAlong | openssh-server installed and allowusers set to allow kde-devel (or the new user you created) | 01:25 |
| FroggyTheGreat | ...not bloody likely, I'm thinking. | 01:25 |

| ignoramus | i copied a bunch of music from another computer to dvd, and transferred the files to a folder in dolphin... (more coming) | 01:27 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Heh | 01:27 |
| FroggyTheGreat | So now the question is - do I have partition space I want to dump into a Win2K vmware? | 01:28 |
| ignoramus | a few didn't take (they are reading as "0kb"), so now when i try to overwrite them with a "good" version of the file, permission is denied | 01:28 |
| WaltzingAlong | ignoramus: sudo chown ignoramus:ignoramus /home/ignoramus/ -R should reset them or you could check the permissions of them | 01:28 |
| ignoramus | i can copy them to another foler, and *then* overwrite, but not from disc. what gives? | 01:28 |
| ignoramus | waltzingalong: i'll try that... brb | 01:29 |
| WaltzingAlong | FroggyTheGreat: you could use a file to store the virtual hd used in vmware | 01:29 |
| m_tadeu | ignoramus: since you copied from a cd/dvd permissions might be as read only | 01:29 |
| BluesKaj | heh , kde-devel@localhost is asking for a password , it never asked me to create one :) | 01:30 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Yeah, but it's more a matter of do I feel like bothering, or do I e-bay this Zune off for more than I paid for it? | 01:30 |
| ignoramus | m_tadeu: even though i enabled read/write permissions for all users with this particular folder? | 01:30 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: "sudo passwd kde-devel" | 01:31 |
| stacey | is there a good dvd copying program that anyone can reccomend? one that backs up movie dvds and compresses them when necessary? | 01:31 |

| BluesKaj | nosrednaekim, pls explain , never seen sudo and password in the same command | 01:34 |
| raylu | ok...so what are the permissions ignoramus | 01:34 |
| raylu | BluesKaj, you're running the passwd command with su privilages | 01:34 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: "sudo passwd kde-devel" sets the password for kde-devel | 01:34 |
| raylu | the passwd command takes an argument for username | 01:34 |

| nosrednaekim | draik: you can navigate the repositories.. | 01:37 |
| draik | WaltzingAlong: Thank you | 01:37 |
| draik | nosrednaekim: How? Using what? | 01:37 |
| raylu | a web browser | 01:38 |
| nosrednaekim | draik: web browser/ | 01:38 |
| m_tadeu | raylu: most probably, since files are RO in the dvd, they are copyed with those permissions | 01:38 |
| ignoramus | raylu: chmod: missing operand after `+r*' | 01:38 |
| BluesKaj | nosrednaekim, afraid that's not working for me ..says kde-devel is an unknown user | 01:38 |
| WaltzingAlong | draik: or browse to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ and so forth | 01:38 |
| raylu | ignoramus, there's a space after the r | 01:38 |
| ignoramus | aha | 01:38 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: did you creat the kde-devel user? | 01:38 |
| BluesKaj | when | 01:38 |
| raylu | BluesKaj, then it looks like that ssh login will never pass | 01:38 |
| BluesKaj | it asked me for a pw before i had a chance to create one | 01:39 |
| m_tadeu | BluesKaj: didn't you create the user? | 01:39 |
| raylu | BluesKaj, sudo cat /etc/passwd | grep kde-devel | 01:40 |
| ignoramus | m_tadeu | raylu: the chmod +r * doesn't help | 01:40 |
| BluesKaj | it never asked for a user | 01:40 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: ok :D run the command "sudo adduser kde-devel" you may also want to install the ssh server if you don't have in installed | 01:40 |

| stacey | I installed a program (facturalux) but it isnt in the K menu....it wont start with katapult either. Can anyone tell me how I would go about starting it? | 01:41 |

| flaccid | anyone have azureus working with sun java on gutsy? | 01:43 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Cool. | 01:43 |
| ignoramus | m_tadeu: yes | 01:43 |
| raylu | ignoramus, the problem is when you copied them. you could modify the permissions on the HDD, but it'd be better to fix the disc | 01:43 |
| ignoramus | raylu: i know :/ | 01:43 |
| raylu | ignoramus; and the fact that it didn't say anything when you chmodded the directory means that there was nothing there, so you probably don't have r to the directory | 01:43 |
| raylu | and/or you didn't sudo the command | 01:44 |
| m_tadeu | ignoramus: can you type this under the folder "ls -la | grep damn_filename"? and paste the result here? | 01:44 |
| BluesKaj | bah! , kde-devel is 3.5.8 ,not 4.0 :( | 01:44 |

| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: just a sec.// | 01:47 |
| stdin | ice9__: just click the button, it'll run automatically | 01:47 |
| raylu | ignoramus, when you use spaces, it thinks it's a new argument | 01:47 |
| ice9__ | I did click finish and nothing happened | 01:48 |
| raylu | either way, you don't need to grep the file, you can just ls the filename. and, because you don't have r to the directory, you'll need to sudo it | 01:48 |
| ice9__ | it verified the upgrade tool but still nothing | 01:48 |
| ice9__ | can't find it | 01:48 |
| ice9__ | can I do it by command line | 01:48 |
| ignoramus | raylu: but i can't if the filename has spaces? | 01:48 |
| m_tadeu | ignoramus: it's because of the spaces...put the filename between "...ls -la | grep "Aerosmith - - Dream On.mp3" | 01:48 |
| raylu | ignoramus, you can by using quotations or "\ " | 01:48 |
| [ka]killer | lol | 01:48 |
| raylu | again, ls -l Aero* | 01:49 |

| nosrednaekim | draik: try "eject /dev/scd1" | 02:05 |
| draik | Aresilek: Yes | 02:05 |
| draik | nosrednaekim: sudo? | 02:06 |
| BluesKaj | nosrednaekim, the kwrite export KDEHOME=~/.kde4, can't be saved | 02:06 |
| nosrednaekim | draik: maybe.. | 02:06 |
| Aresilek | draik: thx | 02:06 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: oh... did you run it with kdesudo? | 02:06 |
| draik | nosrednaekim: Nope. Wasn't needed. It ejected the DVD in the DVD drive | 02:06 |
| nosrednaekim | draik: it means it detects the hardware.. | 02:07 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: oh.... Never mind... just a second | 02:07 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: saves for me here... | 02:08 |
| BluesKaj | I'm using the run command , | 02:09 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: oh... no, run that command from within the ssh terminal. | 02:09 |
| draik | nosrednaekim: What do you suggest now? | 02:09 |
| nosrednaekim | draik: what type of dvd did you put in? | 02:09 |
| nosrednaekim | draik: data or a movie? | 02:10 |
| draik | nosrednaekim: Data; APTonCD results. | 02:10 |
| BluesKaj | nosrednaekim, nope, can't save it ..."not possible to write to the file" | 02:10 |
| BluesKaj | either way | 02:10 |
| nosrednaekim | huh..... did kwrite look any different? | 02:11 |
| nosrednaekim | like did it look kde4ish? | 02:11 |
| BluesKaj | dunno, looked the same to me ...din't see any diff | 02:12 |
| ice9__ | python-apt is located at /usr/share/python-apt | 02:12 |
| ice9__ | does that seem right | 02:12 |
| carbon_monoxide | hello, what is the preferred foreign input method? | 02:12 |
| ice9__ | but I export pythonpath for /usr/share/python-apt | 02:12 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: wait.... if you dont' want to log in as yourself.... you can skip that step, thats only neccesary if you aren't using the kde-devel user. | 02:12 |
| BluesKaj | i used kde-devel instead of kde-test | 02:12 |
| carbon_monoxide | I have some trouble on using skim | 02:13 |
| nosrednaekim | ice9__: thats not where it is kept.. | 02:13 |
| ice9__ | where is it kept then | 02:13 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: right. | 02:13 |
| ice9__ | cause I can't find it | 02:13 |
| nosrednaekim | ice9__: I shall check | 02:13 |

| draik | nosrednaekim: DVD or data? | 02:14 |
| nosrednaekim | draik: either. | 02:15 |
| nosrednaekim | ice9__: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt | 02:15 |

| ice9__ | hmm | 02:15 |
| nosrednaekim | ice9__: and/or /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/apt | 02:15 |
| draik | nosrednaekim: DVD is closest. | 02:15 |
| ice9__ | and that is python-apt correct | 02:16 |
| BluesKaj | hmm .. cd .kde4/share/apps: No such file or directory | 02:16 |
| ice9__ | or is it something different | 02:16 |
| draik | nosrednaekim: Well, it loaded the prompt for action, but when I try Kaffeine, I am told insufficient rights | 02:16 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: you can skip all of those steps since you aren't loging in as yourself, but as a separate user | 02:16 |
| nosrednaekim | draik: ah.. good.! | 02:17 |
| nosrednaekim | draik: now try a data cd. | 02:17 |
| nosrednaekim | *dvd | 02:17 |
| draik | nosrednaekim: Hmmm? DVD or data? | 02:17 |
| nosrednaekim | data DVD | 02:17 |
| nosrednaekim | :D | 02:18 |
| ice9__ | man I just don't have that dir | 02:21 |
| ice9__ | how can I install it | 02:21 |
| nosrednaekim | ice9__: "apt-get install python-apt" | 02:21 |
| ice9__ | or can you just send it to me via email ? | 02:21 |
| ice9__ | I did | 02:21 |
| nosrednaekim | nah. | 02:21 |
| nosrednaekim | and it says its installed? | 02:21 |
| ice9__ | but its not there | 02:21 |
| ice9__ | yep | 02:21 |
| ice9__ | can you make me a copy and send it to my email | 02:21 |
| draik | nosrednaekim: Nothing. No prompt for action | 02:22 |
| ice9__ | Reading package lists... Done | 02:22 |

| nosrednaekim | ice9__: try removing that package and reinstalling it | 02:22 |
| ice9__ | k | 02:23 |
| nosrednaekim | draik: thats odd, since it seems to be working. | 02:23 |
| nosrednaekim | draik: check you fstab and see what permissions ou gave your cd drive | 02:23 |
| MilitantPotato | Where do I change what programs are opened after login? it keeps opening my messanger, amarok, and a virtual keyboard | 02:23 |
| * nosrednaekim isn't good with the fstab though | 02:23 | |
| BluesKaj | heh, kde-devel didn't pick up any of my settings ... what a PITA :( | 02:24 |
| ice9__ | got it sweet | 02:24 |

| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: of course it didn't... its a new directory | 02:24 |
| nosrednaekim | *user | 02:25 |
| BluesKaj | gonna dump it if possible , not going thru setting everything up again | 02:25 |
| draik | nosrednaekim: How do I check the fstab? | 02:25 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: just cpy your currect /home over | 02:25 |
| ice9__ | what the package you need for do-release-upgradde | 02:25 |
| ice9__ | what the package you need for do-release-upgrade | 02:25 |
| nosrednaekim | sudo cp -R /home/Blueskaj /home/kde-devel | 02:26 |
| nosrednaekim | ice9__: no clue | 02:26 |

| MilitantPotato | nosrednaekim: how would I sort out what exactly, and how to fix it? | 02:27 |
| nosrednaekim | MilitantPotato: first, your first question... go to system settings-> advanced-> session manager | 02:29 |
| MilitantPotato | nosrednaekim: thanks, I disabled restore prev. session. | 02:31 |
| MilitantPotato | Any idea about the adept and synaptic deal? | 02:33 |
| nosrednaekim | MilitantPotato: no... not really, I've just noticed it. | 02:34 |

| nosrednaekim | kdesu is not an editor | 02:35 |

| MilitantPotato | BluesKaj: did you manage to kdesudo working? | 02:46 |
| draik | BluesKaj: It is. | 02:46 |
| Zombocom | are you sure the drive is dvd compatible? | 02:46 |
| draik | Zombocom: Yes. It's a DVD Burner. I would hope so :) | 02:46 |
| Zombocom | kk | 02:46 |
| BluesKaj | MilitantPotato, I'm not too concerned ...use sudo in the shell and kdesu in the run command | 02:46 |
| Zombocom | sorry | 02:46 |
| draik | Zombocom: It's all good. You didn't know. | 02:47 |
| MilitantPotato | so my K menu for administrative stuff is going to remain broken? | 02:47 |

| Zombocom | I have a question: I would like to use my screensaver as a desktop background, and I've found plenty of information on how to do it with nautilus, but not with kde. is there any way to do it in KDE? | 02:48 |

| ice9__ | what key am I missing | 02:51 |
| BluesKaj | I don't understand strigi ...itdoesn't do anything for me ...I prefer to use locate: in the konq addressbar | 02:51 |
| Zombocom | locate: is still there? | 02:51 |
| Zombocom | sweet | 02:51 |
| ardchoille | Zombocom: there is a way to do that with a screensaver, something about the option "-root" to draw it on the root window (desktop) but I forgot how | 02:51 |
| Zombocom | ardchoille: where can I find that out? | 02:52 |
| Zombocom | ardchoille: I tried google but I didn't come up with anything other than the nautilus instructions | 02:53 |
| ardchoille | Zombocom: I found it, tested and it works :) | 02:53 |
| ardchoille | Zombocom: Open kcontrol and I'll guide you trhu it | 02:53 |
| Zombocom | k | 02:54 |
| ardchoille | Zombocom: Go to Desktop > Behavior | 02:54 |
| Zombocom | alright? | 02:54 |
| ardchoille | Zombocom: second checkbox "Allow programs in desktop window" check it | 02:54 |
| Zombocom | apply? | 02:55 |
| ardchoille | yes | 02:55 |
| MilitantPotato | well for somereason the wacom device in xorg was uncommented, removed those, now to sort out why kdesudo doesn't work. | 02:55 |
| ardchoille | Zombocom: ls /usr/lib/xscreensaver <-- choose a screensaver and launch it with: /usr/lib/xscreensaver/galaxy -root (replace "galaxy" with a scr of your choice) | 02:56 |
| Zombocom | ardchoille: what next | 02:56 |
| ardchoille | Zombocom: You should then see the screensaver as your desktop wallpaper | 02:56 |
| ardchoille | Zombocom: Keep in mind that some of the screensavers will eat up a lot of your CPU | 02:57 |
| draik | What can I do to get the DVD player to see my data DVD? I want to get some apps installed | 02:57 |
| Zombocom | ardchoille: I don't have a directory called /usr/lib/xscreensaver | 02:58 |

| ardchoille | Zombocom: I'm not sure which package I installed provides it, maybe kdeartwork | 03:00 |
| mrtimbo | does anyone else have a problem with the tap to click settings being saved | 03:00 |
| ardchoille | Zombocom: That's not it, still looking for it.. | 03:01 |

| mrtimbo | does anyone else have a problem with the tap to click settings being saved | 03:03 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Hmm. What's an easy way to uninstall GNOME? | 03:04 |
| ardchoille | Zombocom: I don't remember which package provides is, but you can onstall xscreensaver and xscreensaver-data and get all the screensavers | 03:04 |
| Zombocom | ardchoille: I think it's just in /usr/bin | 03:05 |
| Zombocom | ardchoille: because I checked the kscreensaver thing and it said that | 03:06 |
| mrtimbo | does anyone else in here use ksynaptics? | 03:06 |
| ardchoille | Zombocom: That may be the binaryitself, but testing here with "/usr/lib/xscreensaver/galaxy -root" works great | 03:06 |

| heinkel_111 | i have a multiboot installation with two kubuntu partitions. How do I set from which one my machine will find grub at boot-up? | 04:10 |
| heinkel_111 | (i also have a WinXP partition...) | 04:10 |
| heinkel_111 | maybe i should call that two kubuntu installations | 04:10 |
| heinkel_111 | they share a third /home partition but have separate /boot directories | 04:11 |

| heinkel_111 | now i have upgraded my 64 bit installation to gutsy but grub only starts the feisty version, because it is on the 32 bit installation, and the upgrade process did not fix that | 04:12 |

| bobleny | Hi! Could some one help me please? I was messing around with some settings in Konqueror, trying to get it to open images in Kview. Apparently in my meddling, I screwed something up. Now the entire system is incapable of displaying thumbnail images of PNG and JPG files. The only two things I messed with, go figure... Anyways, my question is this, how do I reset the thumbnail preview thingy? | 04:34 |

| \dEAD | you 'probably' could put IE on but its a waste of time and resource | 04:40 |

| ubuntu_ | Tm_T: It doesnt show on mount -l | 04:40 |
| ubuntu_ | Tm_T: Or maybe i just dont know how | 04:40 |
| MarcC | jagcorvair: does it work if you start kaffeine with "kdesu kaffeine"? | 04:41 |
| Tm_T | ubuntu_: mount alone should list enough | 04:41 |
| Tm_T | ubuntu_: if not, it's not mounted | 04:41 |

| Hirvinen | Well, there are valid motivations(besides questions of preference) to install IE under Linux such as website testing or sites that are built to work only with it... | 04:42 |
| ubuntu_ | because gparted > qtparted | 04:43 |
| Hirvinen | ubunturos: Yes, e.g. for testing an application not included on the cd or having a need for a newer version. | 04:43 |
| heinkel_111 | is it standard practice in gutsy that my root partition is not visible in /etc/mtab? | 04:43 |
| heinkel_111 | or do i have some kind of problem with the installation? | 04:44 |
| Tm_T | heinkel_111: latter | 04:44 |
| heinkel_111 | yes | 04:44 |
| heinkel_111 | it appeared rather strange | 04:44 |
| BluesKaj | Hirvinen, konq can be set to act like IE | 04:44 |
| ubuntu_ | This is bad. QTParted won't let me resize my old linux partition..... | 04:44 |
| jagcorvair | MarcC: No. It actually crashed after I got the same error message. | 04:44 |
| Tm_T | BluesKaj: doesn't render like IE though | 04:44 |
| Tm_T | but this IE discussion is offtopic | 04:44 |
| Hirvinen | BluesKaj: To report itself as IE, yes. To behave like it, no. | 04:45 |
| Hirvinen | Yup. | 04:45 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntu_ , try gparted live cd ..DL and burn it , it's very effective and easy to use | 04:45 |
| heinkel_111 | ubuntu_ is you old linux partition possible to resize then? you can only grow the partition if there is free space | 04:45 |
| heinkel_111 | right next to it | 04:45 |
| ubuntu_ | heinkel_111: I know | 04:45 |
| MarcC | jagcorvair: and it doesn't play in other media players like VLC? | 04:45 |

| rockets | also, how do I enable desktop effects? | 04:50 |
| MarcC | jagcorvair: I would think that's normal with a DVD :-/ | 04:50 |

| jagcorvair | MarcC: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 | 04:52 |
| jagcorvair | MarcC: Is that it? | 04:52 |
| MarcC | jagcorvair: I did it through automatix...I don't recall the libdvdcss2 thing doing it for me | 04:52 |
| jagcorvair | MarcC: Do tell...... | 04:52 |
| jagcorvair | MarcC: What is automatix? | 04:53 |
| MarcC | jagcorvair: http://getautomatix.com | 04:53 |
| rockets | Automatix is a fantastic way to break upgrades. | 04:53 |
| MarcC | just a quick setup utility for common stuff...but some say it's not kosher | 04:53 |
| MarcC | anyway, if you just want DVD support and are willing to really suck it up on your next dist-upgrade, give it a try :D | 04:54 |
| jagcorvair | MarcC: What do you mean? What does automatix do? | 04:54 |
| posingaspopular | someone say it's actively dangerous to the stability of the operating system. matthew made the case here: http://mjg59.livejournal.com/ i you read the third blog down | 04:55 |
| posingaspopular | some would say* | 04:55 |
| posingaspopular | if you read* | 04:55 |
| MarcC | jagcorvair: just read their FAQ...I think it breaks down most of the issues | 04:55 |
| MarcC | I think you can also remove whatever it installs through the same interface, but I haven't tried that | 04:55 |
| MarcC | I'm not sure how current most of the complaints/problems are | 04:56 |
| posingaspopular | ^^ complaints on matthew's blog | 04:56 |
| rockets | Ok, I'm having an actual "big deal" issue. When I log in to kubuntu with Xgl enabled, its slow as hell. With xgl disasbled its fine. | 04:57 |
| rockets | There's no problem at all with Xgl under gnome. | 04:57 |

| kristjan_ | hey my adept lost the ability to use KDE's user style, colors and font size recently - is it temporally so or what has happened to kdesudo? | 05:43 |
| keith- | it's because there is no theme set for root | 05:44 |
| kristjan_ | keith-: there doesn't have to be | 05:45 |
| kristjan_ | keith-: that's the point of kdesudo in gutsy | 05:45 |
| keith- | i've never had it use my theme or font even with kdesudo... | 05:45 |
| kristjan_ | keith-: adept should adapt the user kde preferences of look&feel | 05:45 |
| kristjan_ | keith-: it did for me after, but now it doesn't after the last system update | 05:46 |
| kristjan_ | keith-: err, scratch that extra "after" | 05:46 |
| keith- | hmm odd... check bugreports? | 05:47 |

| Rukus | I cant get my ATI card to use fglrx | 06:09 |
| Dr_Willis | hiddy hooo | 06:09 |
| Rukus | it defaults to Mesa | 06:09 |
| Rukus | why? | 06:09 |
| Dr_Willis | what card is this? | 06:09 |
| Rukus | this is resulting in a super slow pc | 06:09 |
| Rukus | i have a laptop with the xpress200m chipset | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | I got a x200m laptop also.. :) dont expect it to do much 3d wise... | 06:10 |
| Rukus | i dont expect it to, i just expect it to atleast run the driver | 06:10 |
| Dr_Willis | Not sure if its using mesa or not. it is using the fglrx driver. | 06:10 |
| Rukus | try fglrxinfo on yours | 06:11 |
| Rukus | tell me if yours works | 06:11 |
| Dr_Willis | The laptop is not handy. :) let me go plug it in downstairs. | 06:11 |
| Rukus | oh ok | 06:11 |
| Rukus | thanks for that too! | 06:11 |
| m4st3r | plz invite me the python channel | 06:12 |
| Rukus | i wonder if i need to enable the restricted driver??? that doesnt sound right | 06:12 |
| Dr_willis_ | And here i am in the basement.. :) | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis_ | all i did for my laptop was run the restircted-manmager tool and checked to let it install the fglrx drivers | 06:13 |
| Rukus | neatoo | 06:13 |
| Rukus | really | 06:13 |
| Rukus | whats that tool | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis_ | Its in the menus somewhere. | 06:13 |
| Rukus | hmm | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis_ | or try runnin sudo restricted-manager | 06:13 |
| Dr_willis_ | actually I though the first time ya booted up - it asked even. :) | 06:14 |
| Rukus | so i should run restricted driversS??/ | 06:14 |
| Rukus | i should reboot | 06:15 |
| === m4st3r is now known as bless09 | ||
| Dr_willis_ | All the restricted-manager tool does - Is install the actual ATI fglrx drivers and others your system may need | 06:15 |
| Rukus | so | 06:15 |
| Dr_willis_ | lets see what the wiki says | 06:15 |
| Dr_willis_ | !ati | 06:15 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 06:15 |
| bless09 | msg nickserv set email dandelion1773@hanmail.net | 06:15 |

| Rukus | never issue nickerv/chanserv commands in a chat | 06:16 |
| bazhang | bless09: you need to /msg | 06:17 |
| Dr_willis_ | sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager-kde | 06:17 |
| Dr_willis_ | Open the restricted drivers manager from KMenu → System Settings → Advanced → Restricted Drivers and select "ATI accelerated graphics driver". This will hopefully enable fglrx in a painless way | 06:17 |
| bless09 | bazhang: ok i did | 06:17 |
| Rukus | ok | 06:17 |
| Rukus | all i need to do now is reboot | 06:18 |

| MilitantPotato | rockets: but they're a little buggy. | 06:27 |
| Dr_willis_ | pacman, whatever for? | 06:28 |

| barkah | what is chown? | 06:28 |
| MilitantPotato | type man chown into console to learn how to use it :) | 06:28 |
| MilitantPotato | it changes file permissions | 06:28 |
| Dr_willis_ | When mounting a vfat partition you MUST use the proper options to set the permissions. | 06:28 |
| MilitantPotato | ah that too | 06:28 |
| Dr_willis_ | you dont 'chown' vfat mount points, or files on a fat partition | 06:28 |
| MilitantPotato | you don't? | 06:29 |
| barkah | ok, i'll try | 06:29 |
| Dr_willis_ | the umask=0002 is a common optiuon when mounting them | 06:29 |
| MilitantPotato | Ah sorry, thanks for correcting me. | 06:29 |
| Dr_willis_ | MilitantPotato, you can try.. :) it wont do anything. | 06:29 |

| sonoftheclayr | How do I change the resolution of the terminal (tty1-6)? I have vga=791 appended to the boot options in grub's menu.lst but it is still 800x600 | 06:33 |
| Dr_willis_ | Hmm.. that advant-window-navagiator thing.. looks nice.. but cant get it to show up on the Correct Monitor.. heh heh.. | 06:34 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about umask - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 06:35 |

| rockets | Anybody have any reccomendations for making Kopete less ugly? | 06:36 |
| MilitantPotato | thanks willis | 06:36 |
| rockets | Hmm I can't seem to find a KDE cpu frequency monitoring applet | 06:38 |
| MilitantPotato | have you logged out and back in after installing it? | 06:39 |
| bazhang | rockets: what's wrong with kopete? you could ask in #kopete | 06:39 |
| rockets | bazhang: its ugly as hell. | 06:39 |
| MilitantPotato | rockets: get emerald :) | 06:39 |
| raylu | eh? | 06:40 |
| bazhang | rockets: not really a support channel issue--I like the way it looks | 06:40 |
| raylu | i hate how pidgin looks. kopete is awesome | 06:40 |
| rockets | II hate how kopete looks, pidgin is awesome. | 06:40 |
| rockets | ;-P | 06:40 |
| Rukus | my composite manager failed now | 06:40 |
| raylu | lol | 06:40 |
| raylu | if you like gtk, use ubuntu | 06:40 |
| rockets | I do, usually. | 06:40 |
| rockets | I can't stand the way Qt looks, its so cluttered. I just like fooling with KDE sometimes. | 06:41 |
| Daisuke-Ido | raylu: i like firefox, should i stop using kubuntu? | 06:41 |
| Tm_T | rockets: have you looked configurations? | 06:41 |
| rockets | what does "looked configurations" mean | 06:41 |
| raylu | Daisuke-Ido, eh? it's neither qt nor gtk, right? | 06:41 |
| Tm_T | raylu: Firefox is GTK | 06:42 |
| Rukus | http://pastebin.com/m404f64c0 | 06:42 |
| Tm_T | rockets: look settings, twice | 06:42 |
| Rukus | whats that mean | 06:42 |
| raylu | o.0 | 06:42 |
| rockets | "look settings"? | 06:42 |
| rockets | I'm going to guess that english is not your first language and that you're asking me to look AT configurations. | 06:42 |
| MilitantPotato | Rukus: what driver and card? | 06:43 |
| raylu | o.0, he's a kde dev | 06:43 |
| Rukus | ATI xpress200m fglrx. just rebooted into restricted drivers | 06:43 |
| Rukus | and enabled fglrx driver | 06:43 |
| rockets | raylu: it uses gtk | 06:44 |
| rockets | GTK + XUL | 06:44 |
| MilitantPotato | Rukus: unless you installed the drivers from the ATI website, your drivers don't support AIGLX, so you'll need to run XGL to get things like compiz and the fancier window decorations to work. | 06:44 |
| raylu | i see | 06:44 |
| rockets | Where is the Kubuntu gui for enabling effects btw | 06:44 |
| raylu | rockets, there is none :D | 06:44 |
| MilitantPotato | Rukus: on gutsy it should run XGL without any configuration, on feisty it requires some scripts. | 06:44 |
| Rukus | ohhhh | 06:45 |
| Rukus | so al li need to do i install xgl-server to correct this? | 06:45 |
| MilitantPotato | yep | 06:45 |
| Rukus | ok thanks man | 06:45 |
| MilitantPotato | hopefully. | 06:45 |
| Rukus | :) | 06:45 |
| bazhang | raylu: not quite so; none by default--but easily installed | 06:45 |
| raylu | right | 06:46 |
| raylu | but there's no gui for enabling them :D | 06:46 |
| MilitantPotato | it does mention enabling composite, but I seem to remember composite made compiz stop working for me on the old ATI drivers. | 06:46 |
| rockets | raylu: oh. great. | 06:46 |
| Rukus | xserver-xgl rather | 06:47 |
| Rukus | well we'll see | 06:47 |
| Rukus | i'm not running compix at the moment, i'm done with botching my ssystem for now | 06:47 |
| Rukus | i just want it to work now | 06:47 |
| MilitantPotato | compiz to work? | 06:48 |
| Rukus | no my video card | 06:48 |
| Rukus | i just got it back to normal res from 640x480 | 06:48 |
| Rukus | ok bbl | 06:48 |
| Rukus | restarting X-server | 06:48 |
| gorlak | i know you can install a fresh copy of kubuntu from the CD, and you can use the web to upgrade the os, but can you use the CD to upgrade so you dont lose your settings /files ? | 06:50 |
| Rukus | ok everything seems to work now | 06:51 |
| Rukus | altho a lil slow | 06:51 |
| bazhang | gorlak: you mean to have a backup of everything you have ever installed? | 06:51 |
| bazhang | !info aptoncd | 06:52 |
| ubotu | aptoncd: Installation disc creator for packages downloaded via APT. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.97-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 135 kB, installed size 1024 kB | 06:52 |
| gorlak | upgrading the os to gutsy. kinda like how windows does its "upgrade" feature. | 06:53 |
| gorlak | not just the applications, being kept when it upgrades but everything in my home dir too | 06:54 |
| bazhang | gorlak: not sure about windows--never touch the stuff :} back up your home folder, then use aptoncd for the rest | 06:54 |
| Dr_willis_ | I find its often much cleaner to just backup your home dir. (or keep it on its own partition) and do clean reinstalls | 06:55 |
| gorlak | backing up the home dir would be precautionary right? does it actually intentionally go through and wipe out those dirs or just in case? | 06:56 |
| MilitantPotato | gorlak: you can upgrade from the CD, but a fresh install is the best way to go. | 06:56 |
| gorlak | i see | 06:56 |
| bazhang | Dr_willis_: excellent point--but I always forget to do that--will remember next time :} | 06:56 |
| Tm_T | MilitantPotato: it's best way to go by who? | 06:56 |
| Tm_T | gorlak: try upgrading if you have nothing to lose | 06:57 |
| MilitantPotato | Tm_T: people who don't mind the extra bit of time it takes, or don't want to worry if something breaks I'd reccon | 06:57 |
| gorlak | tried doing it using the CD, but i couldnt figure out how to get it to use the CD for the upgrade is all | 06:57 |
| gorlak | i already have my homedir backed up, in a way. | 06:57 |
| vbgunz | what does rip dvd video in k3b do? I know it sounds straightforward, but seriously... what does it do? how do you work it? | 06:58 |
| MilitantPotato | the manual might tell you? | 06:59 |
| bazhang | vbgunz: it copies the dvd | 06:59 |
| vbgunz | I checked under toold 'rip dvd...' its not there | 06:59 |
| MilitantPotato | Tm_T: I guess I shouldn't of made it sound as definitive. | 07:00 |

| mot_ | alright then, let's take careful observation of, let's say the US as a good microism of study. | 07:18 |
| Tm_T | mot_: you are free to disagree, but that brings me some freedoms with it | 07:18 |
| Tm_T | mot_: no, that's offtopic | 07:18 |
| mot_ | it's acceptable to show blood, guts, gore and violence during mainstream prime-time television, but nudity and "coarse language" are oh-so lament-worthy? really now? | 07:18 |
| Tm_T | I know, but that's offtopic | 07:19 |
| mot_ | you're right. | 07:19 |

I hope I am not interupting any thingI am new to Linuk-based OSs and am unfilimar with such thing (being new to computers and all). Ia terrible sorry if I am out of line in... | 07:42 |
| Harahu | ...anyway and can what for the answers to the aforementioned question. (sorry for any syntax or spelling errors, and real or perceived. |\|00|3ishness) | 07:42 |
| Tm_T | Harahu: full list? urm, that would be long one | 07:43 |
| Harahu | *or if this is an improper place to ask such questions. | 07:43 |
| Tm_T | no this is fine | 07:44 |
| Harahu | I was wonder about a site with such a thing. | 07:44 |
| Tm_T | Harahu: one kind of, packages.ubuntu.com | 07:45 |
| Harahu | So there are are costomible downlaods? | 07:46 |

| bazhang | #kubuntu-offtopic is nice | 08:03 |
| Harahu | I have somewhat strange question. | 08:03 |
| Harahu | Can you (in the universal sense) program the "startbar"-like thing (I have no idea what it is called) on Kubuntu the open like a folder? | 08:05 |
| bazhang | kmenu--like in os x? | 08:06 |
| Harahu | So I can pick more then one program at a time. | 08:06 |
| killermike | Harahu: What I do is to create a launchbar and place it at the side of the screen. I then drop my most comonly used applications onto that. | 08:07 |
| Harahu | I see. | 08:08 |
| MilitantPotato | Does anyone have a fix for Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server | 08:09 |
| killermike | Harahu: That gives some of the benifits of what you are sugesting. | 08:09 |
| Harahu | yes. | 08:09 |
| MilitantPotato | I'm having to run <sudo xhost +local:usrname> after every login but it keeps breaking my xorg.conf | 08:09 |
| MilitantPotato | I can't run kdesudo untill I've run that command, but gksudo works fine. | 08:11 |
| MilitantPotato | anyone? | 08:15 |
| MilitantPotato | brb | 08:16 |
| AddyK | Hmm, it's strange that kubuntu be so quiet... | 08:16 |

| bazhang | less than 4GB iirc | 08:27 |
| se7en | on the desktop installer it says minimum2gb recomended 4gb ActionParsnip | 08:27 |
| ActionParsnip | se7en: dave? | 08:28 |
| se7en | ActionParsnip: dave? | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip | se7en: does the name shadoweater mean anything to you, maybe on yahoo? | 08:28 |
| vge | hmm, someone knows program to list last edited files in kde? | 08:28 |
| MilitantPotato | I keep getting Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server when I try to use kdesudo, running sudo xhost +local:jason makes it so I can run kdesudo. But I have to do this every login, and it seems to also be breaking my display (whatever the issue is) because it keeps putting me in fail safe grafics mode. | 08:28 |
| se7en | ActionParsnip: nop sorry | 08:29 |

| Harahu | Harahu>Can you (in the universal sense) program the "startbar"-like thing (I have no idea what it is called) on Kubuntu the open like a folder? | the thing clicked. | 08:48 |
| Harahu | "Adept", I am unfamiliar with this term. | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Harahu: so you want the startbar to give a folder view of the apps under each section | 08:49 |
| ActionParsnip | Harahu: so you can click "system" and folder with Adept, Dolphin, kbluetooth etc pops up? | 08:51 |
| Harahu | yes, so I can pick more then one app at a time without it closing first, or does it not do that, like windows startbar button does? | 08:52 |

| daffytheduck | anyway I need some repos for vmware can anyone help | 09:18 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman you need sudo for that | 09:18 |
| xanax` | I installed vmware player 2 and I run kubuntu 7.10 as guest OS (I found the appliance here : http://isv-image.ubuntu.com/vmware/ ) but I don't know what is the root password. Can someone help me find it out ? | 09:18 |

| daffytheduck | thnx :)))) | 09:19 |
| pacman | still getting the same error, action....the first time I did that was under sudo bash | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | daffytheduck: has the repo deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu feisty-commercial main | 09:19 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: what command are you running? | 09:19 |
| pacman | apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 09:20 |
| daffytheduck | yeah i noticed should i replace feisty with gutsy | 09:21 |
| daffytheduck | see if it updates ok | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: you will need to do sudo for that command | 09:21 |
| pacman | as sudo bash? | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | daffytheduck: try it :D | 09:21 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: run konsole as user then sudo the command | 09:21 |
| pacman | still same error | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: I would advise never running any app as root like that | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: do you have adept open? | 09:22 |
| daffytheduck | nope | 09:22 |
| daffytheduck | :( | 09:22 |
| pacman | I did, and it says I have the newest version | 09:22 |
| pacman | however, I'm on 7.04 | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | daffytheduck: http://igordevlog.blogspot.com/2007/07/vmware-in-ubuntu-gutsy-kernel-2622.html | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: so are you trying to upgrade to gutsy?? | 09:23 |
| pacman | yes | 09:23 |
| mikedomo | ttahanks y resolve that | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading has a link for upgrading KUbuntu as well | 09:25 |
| pacman | can you PM me, action? | 09:26 |
| schiste | pacman reinstall everything | 09:27 |
| xanax` | Can someone help me find out what is the root password for these (k)ubuntu vmware appliances ? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Player | 09:27 |
| schiste | It's the only flawless method | 09:27 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: if you follow that walkthrough you should be ok | 09:28 |
| pacman | well, it won't let me talk back to you, action | 09:28 |
| Lynoure | xanax`: probably still no root, just sudo. I don't know, but I'd try kubuntu first | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: weird, anyway that walkthrough seems ok. You could download the CD and wang it in your CD drive and upgrade that way | 09:29 |
| pacman | yeah, I put a new HD in, and only have 7.04 on disk | 09:30 |
| pacman | might as well upgrade since I have to set everything up anyhow | 09:31 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: try the site I sent. Should be ok | 09:32 |
| pacman | it's working now | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: or google for upgrade to gutsy | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: awesome :D | 09:32 |
| pacman | is wlassistant not available anymore? | 09:33 |
| pacman | or do I need to enable other repositories | 09:33 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: not sure man. just wait and see what you get after the update and go from there | 09:37 |
| pacman | it's done? | 09:37 |
| pacman | that's it? | 09:37 |
| === admini is now known as asasasssss | ||
| ActionParsnip | pacman: yeah pretty much | 09:38 |
| pacman | that was fast | 09:39 |
| pacman | thought it was gonna take an hour | 09:39 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: depends what apps you have installed | 09:40 |
| pacman | I didn't have anything | 09:40 |
| pacman | I literally just hooked up my new HD and installed 7.06 onto it | 09:41 |
| pacman | then installed everything in that link | 09:41 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: then you have very little to update | 09:41 |
| pacman | hmm | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: try a system reboot to test | 09:45 |
| pacman | okay, brb | 09:45 |
| serishema | i'm wondering why my battery life on my ibook g4 is so short under kubuntu as compared to under mac os x. With kpowermanager set to "power save" I only get about 2 hours, compared to 4 under mac os x. | 09:46 |
| MilitantPotato | .Xauthority should be owned by me right? | 09:49 |
| timri | MilitantPotato: yes | 09:49 |
| MilitantPotato | Awsome. | 09:49 |
| MilitantPotato | That was a huge headache. | 09:49 |
| MilitantPotato | somehow it was owned by root, so kdesudo aswell as the majority of the things in the K menu wouldn't load. | 09:50 |
| MilitantPotato | i had to use sudo and gksudo to open them | 09:50 |
| timri | MilitantPotato: NEVER use sudo and gui apps. | 09:50 |
| ActionParsnip | MilitantPotato: sudo chown should help :) | 09:50 |
| MilitantPotato | ActionParsnip: that's exactly what I did, worked like a charm | 09:51 |
| MilitantPotato | timri: yea, never do, not sure why I mentioned sudo | 09:51 |
| timri | MilitantPotato: Anyway, you should probably also sudo chown 0600 .Xauthority | 09:51 |
| pacman | ActionParsnip: I'm back | 09:51 |
| MilitantPotato | instead of chown jason:jason ? | 09:51 |
| timri | MilitantPotato: No, that also | 09:51 |
| MilitantPotato | will do. | 09:51 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: all good? | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | timri: why not use sudo for gui apps? | 09:52 |
| pacman | I guess...how do I tell which version I'm on? | 09:52 |
| MilitantPotato | Something about GUI aps needing access to the X server | 09:52 |
| timri | ActionParsnip: It can mess up the ownership of some of your configfiles | 09:53 |
| MilitantPotato | how would I make sure all the files in my home directory are properly owned by me? | 09:53 |
| MilitantPotato | I ran sudo chown -hR jason:jason /home/jason | 09:54 |
| MilitantPotato | is that enough? | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: cat /etc/issue | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: ? | 09:54 |
| timri | MilitantPotato: Thats a very bad idea | 09:54 |
| pacman | hmm, still 7.04 | 09:54 |
| MilitantPotato | Argh. | 09:54 |
| MilitantPotato | timri: bad enough I should re-install? | 09:55 |
| timri | MilitantPotato: Nah, but you might run into minor security problems. Like adept_managerrc should be root.root | 09:56 |
| timri | MilitantPotato: That one is in ~/.kde/share/config btw | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman: googling...sec | 09:56 |
| MilitantPotato | I don't have that file | 09:57 |
| MilitantPotato | have adept_installerrc | 09:57 |
| timri | MilitantPotato: Well, of course not, or you would not have been able to take ownership :) | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | pacman $ kdesu update-manager -c | 09:57 |
| timri | MilitantPotato: Thought of that just a little too late :) | 09:58 |
| sFEARs | hello | 09:58 |
| MilitantPotato | timri: any other files I should de-own? | 09:59 |
| timri | One sec. | 09:59 |
| WaltzingAlong | some programs will work fine with sudo GUIapp; some will not; rather than make a list, remembering each, follow the general rule: kdesu/kdesudo GUIapp but sudo CLIapp regardless of where it is started (alt+f2 or konsole) | 09:59 |
| MilitantPotato | What does CLI stand for? | 10:00 |
| pacman | I just sprayed my g/f's ass with a can of compressed air | 10:01 |
| WaltzingAlong | MilitantPotato: command line interface | 10:02 |
| niels_ | ubotu: !adept fix | 10:02 |
| MilitantPotato | pacman: i gave my wife a scar from compressed air, frost bit her. | 10:02 |
| ubotu | 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 » | 10:02 |
| MilitantPotato | Needless to say I never play with compressed air around her :( | 10:03 |
| timri | processing... | 10:03 |
| jamesarthur | Help! i just installed kubuntu 7.10 and am stuck at 640x480,,,, how do i change to 1024x768? | 10:03 |
| MilitantPotato | timri: I hope my request wasn't to much of a pain | 10:04 |
| BenjaminD | hello, i am new to linux. i have install kubuntu. I would like to get compiz or beryl running. I have an old laptop with ATI graphics card.. Is there a way i can find out if i have a composite manager running or installed alredy? | 10:04 |
| pacman | it does warn against frostbite | 10:04 |
| timri | MilitantPotato: not at all, just found out I had mounted some samba shares under ~, so grep takes a while :) | 10:04 |
| WaltzingAlong | jamesarthur: it may help to provide /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf to !pastebin | 10:05 |
| timri | MilitantPotato: Anyway, it looks like I exaggerated when I said "very bad idea", sorry lead you on a wild goose chase :) | 10:05 |
| WaltzingAlong | Kubuntu Gutsy is not shipping with compiz-fusion installed (or enabled). It can still be installed though. Follow the instructions for gutsy at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion . for more, ask in #compiz-fusion & see http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/ | BenjaminD, follow this | 10:05 |
| MilitantPotato | Warning labels, bah | 10:05 |
| MilitantPotato | BenjaminD: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg | 10:05 |
| WaltzingAlong | jamesarthur: you could run, in konsole, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh to reconfigure X | 10:05 |
| MilitantPotato | whoa wrong guy | 10:06 |
| jamesarthur | WaltzingAlong: thanks i hope :) | 10:06 |
| MilitantPotato | BenjaminD: With an ATI card you'll need XGL, or the latest ATI drivers from www.ati.com but that requires building from source and a hand full of xorg.conf modifications | 10:07 |
| MilitantPotato | BenjaminD: xserver-xgl is the package you'd need. | 10:07 |
| WaltzingAlong | timri: MilitantPotato yes for some programs "sudo GUIapp" will use the 'wrong' permissions/rights/account when writing files which later results in the normal user not being able to write to files in /home/user though some GUIapps will flatout not launch when called from sudo rather than | 10:07 |
| BenjaminD | i had it working on ubuntu with ATI fglrx | 10:07 |
| WaltzingAlong | MilitantPotato: that is true only for the fglrx module before this latest release | 10:07 |
| BenjaminD | but when i installed xserver-xgl my kubuntu redraw ran VERY slow | 10:08 |
| WaltzingAlong | fglrx ati howto wiki http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide (for 3d support on older radeon cards, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver for data) | BenjaminD, MilitantPotato | 10:08 |
| BenjaminD | ? | 10:08 |
| ActionParsnip | is there a way to make GUI apps not run if executed via sudo? | 10:08 |
| timri | WaltzingAlong: iirc kate has that refusal to run under sudo built-in | 10:08 |
| MilitantPotato | BenjaminD: you could attempt the new ATI drivers, and see how that works. | 10:08 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: yes with xserver-xgl especially with compiz not running, X can run very slowly | 10:08 |
| BenjaminD | is there an alternative? | 10:09 |
| BenjaminD | or better way? | 10:09 |
| timri | MilitantPotato: Ok, after the mother of all lousy greps, I conclude you did NOT mess up your system :) | 10:09 |
| BenjaminD | before i install compiz now? | 10:09 |
| MilitantPotato | timri: thank god, I havn't done a backup lately :D | 10:09 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: if you can use fglrx yes then you can grab the version from the link i sent to you, which is the first fglrx release to work with AIGLX (so xserver-xgl is not needed) | 10:09 |
| * timri will never ever try recursive grepping a samba share again :) | 10:09 | |
| ActionParsnip | BenjaminD: to run compiz you need 3d acceleration which vesa wont give you | 10:09 |
| BenjaminD | aiglx is an alternative to xgl? | 10:09 |
| MilitantPotato | XGL allows cards that don't support AIGLX to work | 10:10 |
| MilitantPotato | *drivers | 10:10 |
| MilitantPotato | the new ATI drivers are far from perfect. | 10:10 |
| BenjaminD | apt-get install compiz wants to install all the gnome librarys?? | 10:11 |
| WaltzingAlong | aiglx is accelerate indirect glx | 10:11 |
| BenjaminD | was trying to avoid that | 10:11 |
| === SoHBete4154266 is now known as eDaLi | ||
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: compiz was created with gnome in mind. kde has had a composite manager already and kde4 will include its own with similar effects to that of compiz | 10:11 |
| BenjaminD | so am i better to not worry about compiz then? | 10:12 |
| BenjaminD | laptop is oldish.. | 10:12 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: as you like really | 10:12 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: which video card? | 10:12 |
| BenjaminD | ati x300 | 10:12 |
| BenjaminD | 64mb | 10:12 |
| MilitantPotato | ping | 10:15 |
| BenjaminD | so kde4 is coming soon? | 10:15 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: december. you would need to use the open source 'radeon' module/driver for 3d accel with that card https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver | 10:15 |
| BenjaminD | fglrx ? | 10:16 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: fglrx is for newer ATI/amd cards | 10:16 |
| BenjaminD | i had compiz working on ubuntu before with fglrx | 10:17 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: yes fglrx will not work with your card anyway | 10:17 |
| daffytheduck | can i get compiz working with the nv driver | 10:17 |
| daffytheduck | or do i need nvidia | 10:18 |
| timri | BenjaminD: Re: your question about "kde4 coming soon", you might want to ask that in #kde (better don an asbestos coat though) | 10:18 |
| daffytheduck | lol | 10:18 |
| WaltzingAlong | daffytheduck: you need 3d accel which nv does not provide as far as i know | 10:18 |
| daffytheduck | ok | 10:19 |
| daffytheduck | i thought so | 10:19 |
| daffytheduck | can i install nvidia from the repos or do i have to get it from nvidia | 10:19 |
| WaltzingAlong | !nvidia | daffytheduck, either or | 10:20 |
| ubotu | daffytheduck, either or: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 10:20 |
| daffytheduck | thnx | 10:20 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: as far as i know 'radeon' works with your video card, not 'fglrx'; using 'ati' should call the radeon module for supported devices. check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for data about how that went | 10:21 |
| BenjaminD | thanks, i dont want to change drivers just this minute. im meant to be studying. i will follow that tutorial you sent before a little later | 10:22 |
| BenjaminD | radeon should work better than fglrx yes? | 10:22 |
| MilitantPotato | I got this in terminal while running kate: DCOP Cleaning up dead connections. kdecore (KProcess): WARNING: _attachPty() 11 | 10:22 |

| TrAndy | Kubuntu Gutzy freezes randomly and continuously after first on-line default update. Before update it works OK indefinitively. Any solution? | 10:36 |

| TrAndy | Feisty (v7.04) worked fine for months. Gutsy is a fresh install, not an upgrade from v7.04. Kernel is the default 2.6.22-14. I've tested it with the precedent 2.6.20.xx from v.7.04 but it freezes anyway. No hw changes. | 10:41 |
| se7en | WaltzingAlong: thanks anyway | 10:41 |

| B4S3M | WaltzingAlong .... how can i run the KDM again ? | 11:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | B4S3M: what do you mean? where are you? sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart ? | 11:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: check the X log /var/log/Xorg.0.log for relevant data | 11:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: in konsole, glxinfo | grep -i direct yes or no? | 11:27 |
| kak[ZzZ] | ohayou gozaimasu | 11:28 |
| B4S3M | WaltzingAlong .... i need to run Kubuntu with interfacing not in command line | 11:29 |
| Harahu | What do I click on to run it as a live CD? | 11:29 |
| Harahu | Do I have to restart first? | 11:29 |
| WaltzingAlong | Harahu: just put the desktop/live cd in the drive, start the computer. should boot from the cd (if bios is set accordingly) then so forth | 11:30 |
| WaltzingAlong | B4S3M: yes but you were telling me that the loading process was not getting that far | 11:30 |
| Harahu | what is the file name? | 11:30 |
| WaltzingAlong | Harahu: the file name of what; what are you attempting to do? | 11:31 |
| BenjaminD | no | 11:31 |
| BenjaminD | no direct rendering? | 11:31 |
| WaltzingAlong | !pastebin | BenjaminD, paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log contents here | 11:31 |
| Harahu | run iot as a live cd. | 11:31 |
| ubotu | BenjaminD, paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log contents here: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 11:31 |
| WaltzingAlong | Harahu: download the desktop cd image. burn the iso as a cd. restart the computer. if bios is set to attempt to boot from the cd, then the livecd should start. | 11:32 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: direct rendering is 3d accel in hardware | 11:32 |
| Harahu | I have no burner. (I am sorry I know little of computers.) | 11:33 |
| BenjaminD | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44715/ | 11:33 |
| WaltzingAlong | Harahu: without a burner. ok then you should ask a friend to burn one for you or order a free one from shipit | 11:34 |
| Harahu | My parent have a burner. | 11:35 |
| Harahu | I shall do it on there computer. | 11:35 |
| Harahu | I was going to network to there computer and make backup any way. | 11:36 |
| Harahu | oh does a DVD have to be a "special" DVD to burn data to it? | 11:37 |
| Harahu | (other then writable that is) | 11:37 |
| WaltzingAlong | Harahu: the dvd version can be both 'run live' and installed without running live. it also contains more packages | 11:37 |
| B4S3M | WaltzingAlong .... i have now a command line ... hence the problem is with KDE .... how can i fix or even how can i know it ? | 11:38 |
| WaltzingAlong | B4S3M: it may be kde or it may be X, among other possibilities. check the X log first; less /var/log/Xorg.0.log scroll looking for lines starting with (EE) which mark errors | 11:39 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: mind pasting the /etc/X11/xorg.conf as well | 11:39 |
| Harahu | No, I mean a DVD, not the DVD version of Kubuntu.I wanted burn Kubuntu to one DVD and all the data on my computer to another for a back-up. | 11:40 |
| BenjaminD | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44716/ | 11:40 |
| B4S3M | WaltzingAlong ok 2 error .... failed to load module fglrx and No drivers available | 11:42 |
| WaltzingAlong | B4S3M: ok. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh then in the list of drivers pick either ATI or vesa | 11:43 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: the log shows that dri would be disabled; check http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44717/ to add the modules to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file. you could do the same through sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh | 11:43 |
| Harahu | (I know my DVD answer now. sorry for asking.) | 11:43 |
| BenjaminD | which models am i adding sorry? | 11:45 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: the modules section, you could enable all, but mostly dri and glx | 11:46 |

| WaltzingAlong | B4S3M: ok, sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart to restart kdm | 11:52 |

| MidMark | so why xorg? | 11:53 |
| sirjoshimus | but just to check it out | 11:53 |
| sirjoshimus | and now that i want it gone, it wont get rid of everything it installed | 11:53 |
| blenbb | is there a guide for notebooks how to activate powersaving stuff? | 11:53 |
| sirjoshimus | such as sudo apt-get remove ubuntustudio-audio | 11:53 |
| BenjaminD | WaltzingAlong got your prv-msg, still no direct rendering.. | 11:53 |
| === i00nsu is now known as i00nsu_ | ||

| BenjaminD | WaltzingAlong: after adding modules to xorg, i lost transluceny... :S | 11:54 |
| contrast83 | blenbb: "sudo apt-get install kpowersave" might be a good start... What exactly are you trying to do? | 11:54 |
| WaltzingAlong | sirjoshimus: perhaps through autoremove in apt-get | 11:54 |
| B4S3M | thx WaltzingAlong ... owe u :) | 11:54 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: how about the new log to pastebin | 11:55 |
| WaltzingAlong | B4S3M: which module did you pick? ati or vesa? if you are on gutsy and want fglrx you could install it through the restricted manager | 11:55 |
| BenjaminD | cmd again? | 11:55 |
| sirjoshimus | WaltzingAlong: it still leaves all the metapackage contents | 11:56 |
| sirjoshimus | its very annoying, its sloppy work | 11:56 |
| WaltzingAlong | sirjoshimus: i typically use aptitude | 11:56 |
| WaltzingAlong | !aptitude | sirjoshimus | 11:56 |
| sirjoshimus | WaltzingAlong: whats the difference? | 11:56 |
| ubotu | sirjoshimus: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide | 11:56 |

| MidMark | but fan and cpu are @ 100% | 11:59 |
| JohnFlux | MidMark: fun | 11:59 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: perhaps you need to set the AGPGART in according to the radeon page i have sent | 11:59 |
| JohnFlux | MidMark: reboot ? :-) | 11:59 |
| contrast83 | That'll let you set up a custom profile for when you're running on battery. | 11:59 |

| === center is now known as lubashka | ||
| B4S3M | any idea how to have a Verilogger on kubuntu ? | 12:00 |
| MidMark | JohnFlux: yeah, but sometimes the problem reappears | 12:00 |
| blenbb | hmm my laptop has 1024 mb ram, but free shows only: 905216. Kubuntu has highmem support i hope! | 12:00 |
| WaltzingAlong | blenbb: is your video card using some of that? | 12:01 |
| contrast83 | Doesn't the video card only use system memory if you specifically set it up that way in your xorg.conf? | 12:01 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: also in konsole, LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo then pastebin those results | 12:02 |
| BenjaminD | if i add Virtual, do i put "1026x768" in quotes or 1024 768 like instructions? | 12:02 |
| WaltzingAlong | contrast83: i was thinking of the intergrated video interfaces that have no dedicated RAM but use only main system RAM | 12:02 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: like in the instructions | 12:03 |
| contrast83 | WaltzingAlong: Right, that's what I'm referring to. | 12:03 |
| WaltzingAlong | contrast83: and in that case i do not know if xorg.conf allows one to manage the system ram available to the video interface | 12:03 |
| contrast83 | It does. :-) | 12:04 |
| contrast83 | Under the Device section, you just put in a line like VideoRAM "65536" | 12:04 |
| WaltzingAlong | contrast83: ok to minimize it but not possible to put it to 0 | 12:05 |
| contrast83 | I'm pretty sure it defaults to 0, i.e., if you don't have a line like that there. | 12:05 |
| JohnFlux | MidMark: kill the programs one by one until the cpu drops? | 12:06 |
| contrast83 | On my old laptop that had an integrated Intel, I couldn't even play 640x480 videos until I put that line in, so I'm pretty sure it just wasn't using any system RAM. | 12:06 |
| JohnFlux | MidMark: then you can find out which is the program | 12:06 |
| WaltzingAlong | contrast83: oh, i see, interesting | 12:08 |
| WaltzingAlong | thanks for the update | 12:08 |
| contrast83 | np | 12:08 |
| contrast83 | Does anyone here play Frets on Fire? It performs *horribly* on Gutsy for me, played fine in Feisty on the same machine. :-\ | 12:08 |
| renzo | si | 12:09 |
| WaltzingAlong | videoRAM: This optional entry specifies the amount of video ram that is installed on the graphics board. This is measured in kBytes. In most cases this is not required because the Xorg server probes the graphics board to determine this quantity. The driver-specific documentation should indicate when it might be needed. so seems in your case it may have been using some already just not enough? | 12:11 |
| contrast83 | maybe | 12:13 |
| BenjaminD | WaltzingAlong: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44723/ | 12:13 |
| BenjaminD | added GART | 12:13 |
| BenjaminD | and virtual desktop | 12:13 |
| BenjaminD | transparency still gone | 12:14 |
| BenjaminD | :S | 12:14 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: now that one shows direct rendering yes | 12:14 |
| BenjaminD | shit it did too | 12:15 |
| BenjaminD | just looking now | 12:15 |
| BenjaminD | what abou tlibGL warinigns? | 12:15 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: what was giving transparency before? system settings/window behavior/translucency? | 12:15 |
| BenjaminD | yeah | 12:16 |
| BenjaminD | my opengl screen savers work better now | 12:16 |
| BenjaminD | :) | 12:16 |
| BenjaminD | id really love to get a window manager similar to beryl/compiz | 12:16 |
| BenjaminD | but continue with kde | 12:17 |
| nick_ | Hey everyone, I have a dual boot question. I installed windows after linux and it overrode my boot loader. So, went back in Linux and re-overrode the bootloader so now it boots into Linux, but I want to make it a dual boot machine. I nanoed into menu.lst but I didn't see Windows on the list What should I do? | 12:18 |
| WaltzingAlong | nick_: if your system still has ms windows recovery may be as easy as adding a few lines, a new entry, to menu.lst | 12:18 |
| nick_ | WaltzingAlong: Ok, I have this information so far...or at least I thougth I was looking for this, "Title of operating syste (new line) rootnoverify (hd0,0) (new line) make active (new line) chainloader +1" | 12:20 |
| nick_ | But I didn't know if I was supposed to add that or find it | 12:20 |
| WaltzingAlong | nick_: is windows sitting on hd0,0? sda1 or hda1 ? sure you could manually add to that file | 12:20 |
| BenjaminD | No diversion `any diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1', none removed | 12:20 |
| nick_ | WaltzingAlong: I have forgotten the find command...where should I put that in to find that information? | 12:22 |
| WaltzingAlong | /boot/grub/menu.lst | 12:22 |
| nick_ | It says I have 3 Ubuntu installations, generic, recovery and memtest+86 | 12:24 |
| WaltzingAlong | !grub | nick_, may be helpful to start here | 12:24 |
| ubotu | nick_, may be helpful to start here: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 12:24 |
| BenjaminD | WaltzingAlong: that worked! | 12:25 |
| BenjaminD | WaltzingAlong: thank you very much | 12:25 |
| nick_ | WaltzingAlong: all of them are are hd0,1 | 12:25 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: cheers! | 12:25 |
| WaltzingAlong | nick_: check the grub manual, there is a section on booting to dos/windows http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/DOS_002fWindows.html#DOS_002fWindows | 12:26 |
| nick_ | WaltzingAlong: So there's this one other small problem, I can't display webpages in Linux, for some reason my isp will only display webpages on Windows...it's been a long find and I still don't have the answer | 12:26 |
| nick_ | WaltzingAlong: That's why I installed Windows again | 12:26 |
| nick_ | fight not find* | 12:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | nick_: interesting; so you need at least to know which drive and partition contains ms windows | 12:28 |
| nick_ | WaltzingAlong: Ok, wait, I got it to load in conquerer...lucky, this was the page that I was working from earlier | 12:29 |
| WaltzingAlong | yeah first guess on that is misconfigured proxy settings, nick_ | 12:29 |
| nick_ | WaltzingAlong: That seems to be the best bet, my guess is a transparent proxy because sometimes it will work, and then without touching any other settings it will stop, and all other internet services work, and my roommate has a mac and the same problems, but all my flatmates have windows and no problems | 12:30 |
| nick_ | WaltzingAlong: Ok, I'm not understanding what's going on, I'm typing gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst and nothign is happening, it is just returning me to the prompt | 12:32 |
| WaltzingAlong | kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst ? | 12:33 |
| nick_ | That did it | 12:33 |
| nick_ | Same thing I was looking at when I nanoed into it, still no windows on the list | 12:34 |
| nick_ | Can we use process of elimination to tell where Windows is? or is there another way to find it? | 12:34 |
| WaltzingAlong | nick_: you need to add the entry for ms windows to the list. sure qtparted could show you details about the disks/partitions/filesystems | 12:36 |
| BenjaminD | WaltzingAlong: would i be silly to install xglserver now i have my ati drivers working fine? | 12:38 |
| nick_ | WaltzingAlong: So, I just need to know what the number after hd is (like in the example on the webpage hd0,0) plug in the lines and reboot? | 12:38 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: :D now you have the opensource 3d drivers for some ati cards working ... if it were my system, i would keep that part as it is (skipping on xserver-xgl) | 12:38 |
| BenjaminD | i was thinking that | 12:39 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: but you could investigate how to get transparency/translucency back | 12:39 |
| BenjaminD | no no, my transparency is back | 12:39 |
| BenjaminD | and opengl works | 12:39 |
| WaltzingAlong | oh! | 12:39 |
| BenjaminD | everything is running sweet | 12:39 |
| nick_ | Found it, "01 /dev/sda1 ntfs" | 12:40 |
| BenjaminD | i would like to get beryl/compiz though.. can i use with the setup i have now (AIGLX is it?) ? | 12:40 |
| BenjaminD | im happy not to | 12:40 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: aiglx currently, yes. try it out (compiz-fusion) | 12:40 |
| BenjaminD | thanks | 12:40 |
| BenjaminD | that will still install all the gnome files yes? | 12:41 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: yes | 12:41 |
| BenjaminD | i think ill pass | 12:41 |
| WaltzingAlong | Kubuntu Gutsy is not shipping with compiz-fusion installed (or enabled). It can still be installed though. Follow the instructions for gutsy at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion . for more, ask in #compiz-fusion & see http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/ | BenjaminD, instructions here | 12:42 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: :D ok | 12:42 |
| BenjaminD | is there an alternative app? | 12:42 |
| BenjaminD | or is installing the gnome stuff not that bad? | 12:42 |
| WaltzingAlong | BenjaminD: try it out. install it through aptitude (sudo aptitude install <package> ) so you can easily remove it should you wish | 12:43 |
| BenjaminD | thanks again | 12:43 |

| WaltzingAlong | !intelhda | thylio, follow this guide | 13:33 |
| ubotu | thylio, follow this guide: please see above | 13:33 |
| thylio | WaltzingAlong: As always, thanks for the help | 13:33 |
| WaltzingAlong | thylio: you probably could skip the part on building the latest alsa, instead skipping to setting the module parameters | 13:34 |
| thylio | WaltzingAlong: Okay;D | 13:35 |
| MidMark | thylio: install also linux-backports-modules package | 13:36 |
| MidMark | it's needed because has a newer driver for your soundcard | 13:36 |
| thylio | MidMark: Will do:) | 13:36 |
| MidMark | then you just need to add the model in the file as explained in that link | 13:37 |
| MidMark | usually acer or toshiba should work | 13:37 |
| thylio | "cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec" No sutch file or directory | 13:38 |
| MidMark | thylio: yeah first install the package I said, then reboot | 13:38 |
| MidMark | then do the other things | 13:39 |
| thylio | MidMark. Aah Okay;D | 13:39 |
| MidMark | your card now doesn't exist so the command is useless | 13:39 |
| MidMark | till you install properly drivers | 13:39 |
| thylio | MidMark: aah. I see | 13:40 |

| thylio | I can only find the Conexant codec in alsa doc | 13:52 |
| MidMark | thylio: really | 13:52 |
| MidMark | use acer or toshiba will work | 13:52 |
| MidMark | as model, I had the same problem with another notebook and same ich8 chip | 13:52 |
| MidMark | try it :) | 13:52 |
| thylio | MidMarc: Hmm. Where do i find the acer/tochiba models then? | 13:53 |
| MidMark | put options snd-hda-intel model=acer in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base | 13:53 |
| MidMark | if it doesn't work try with options snd-hda-intel model=toshiba | 13:53 |
| MidMark | understood? | 13:54 |
| thylio | MidMark: Yeah, i'll try it;D | 13:54 |
| MidMark | you need to reboot every time AFAIK | 13:54 |
| thylio | AFAIK? | 13:55 |

| ScorpKing | hi BluesKaj | 14:03 |
| WaltzingAlong | rebooting is not necessary but likely much easier than manually unloading then loading the modules | 14:03 |

| sharkp | Hi | 14:11 |
| sharkp | I've to compile amarok | 14:11 |
| sharkp | but configure asked to me kde headers | 14:12 |
| sharkp | what shall I do? | 14:12 |
| BluesKaj | Oldtoker, libdvdcss2 | 14:12 |
| sharkp | anyone? | 14:13 |
| Oldtoker | BluesKaj, doesn't show up.. | 14:13 |
| Oldtoker | and I do see the repositories for media sources. loaded... but something is wrong.. I keep geting messages about some packages failing. | 14:13 |
| Oldtoker | either due to bad download or it will break something. | 14:14 |
| sharkp | checking for KDE... configure: error: | 14:14 |
| sharkp | in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. | 14:14 |
| sharkp | So, check this please and use another prefix! | 14:14 |
| sharkp | what means?? | 14:14 |
| timri | sharkp: you need at least kdebase-dev | 14:14 |
| sharkp | ok,I'll try | 14:14 |
| timri | sharkp: But simpler is to just install kde-devel | 14:15 |
| Oldtoker | is there a way I can make it purge it's repositories.. and redownload? | 14:15 |
| Oldtoker | In mandriva it's possible.. Sorry new Convert here :) | 14:15 |
| sharkp | timri, which are the differences? | 14:15 |
| timri | sharkp: That will also pull in the arts dev packages (often necessary) | 14:16 |
| WaltzingAlong | Oldtoker: first sudo aptitude update; then sudo aptitude -f install shows what? | 14:16 |
| sharkp | timri, now I'm trying with kdebase-dv | 14:16 |
| timri | sharkp: dev | 14:16 |
| timri | sharkp: not dv | 14:16 |
| Oldtoker | WaltzingAlong, working..... | 14:16 |

| WaltzingAlong | Oldtoker: give it a Y then | 14:23 |
| WaltzingAlong | psychoholic: which | 14:23 |
| psychoholic | Unable to save bookmarks in /home/psychoholic/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml. Reported error was: Permission denied. This error message will only be shown once. The cause of the error needs to be fixed as quickly as possible, which is most likely a full hard drive. | 14:24 |

| psychoholic | sorry thats the dolfin one i'm getting | 14:24 |
| Oldtoker | so that will have fixed the errors I have now? | 14:24 |
| timri | psychoholic: let me guess, bookmarks.xml does not exist ? | 14:24 |
| psychoholic | yes | 14:24 |
| timri | psychoholic: another guess: You recently ran some GUI app with sudo? | 14:25 |
| psychoholic | but sp -get is geting one too | 14:25 |
| psychoholic | ummm yep | 14:25 |
| WaltzingAlong | Oldtoker: ok and now sudo aptitude install libdvdcss2 , that is the package you wanted from medibuntu right | 14:25 |
| timri | psychoholic: Never EVER use sudo with a gui app. Use kdesu if you must :) | 14:25 |
| psychoholic | hmm how | 14:25 |
| timri | psychoholic: ...to solve it ? | 14:26 |
| jpatrick | timri, psychoholic: kdesudo ;) | 14:26 |
| psychoholic | well i'll google kdesu | 14:26 |
| ScorpKing | kdesudo <app> | 14:26 |
| timri | jpatrick: that's a link to kdesu isn't it? | 14:26 |
| psychoholic | ok | 14:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | psychoholic: so reset the permissions. in konsole, sudo chown psychoholic:psychoholic /home/psychoholic -R | 14:26 |

| timri | WaltzingAlong: Heh! It was my turn... grumble :) | 14:26 |
| * WaltzingAlong passes the torch to timri; ok ok how about teaching him to use sudo CLIapp but kdesu/kdesudo GUIapp ? ;) | 14:27 | |
| psychoholic | now let me see what that ap get error is brb | 14:27 |
| timri | WaltzingAlong: That was NOT a good thing to suggest, though. Some files (even in ~) should remain root.root owned ! | 14:27 |
| Oldtoker | WaltzingAlong, I just hope I don't become too much of a pest.. being's as I have PTSD and a few other slight problems.. mostly stemming from war.. I tend to get things slower than the average person.. so I'd like to take the opportunity to apologize in advance. | 14:28 |
| WaltzingAlong | timri: such as? . and .. ? :D | 14:28 |
| jpatrick | timri: yeah, but kdesudo should cause less confusion with new users | 14:28 |
| timri | WaltzingAlong: :) | 14:28 |
| Oldtoker | but thank you for all your help thus far. | 14:28 |
| WaltzingAlong | Oldtoker: for what? are there more questions to come! ah glad to help | 14:28 |
| ajmoulen | actually kdesu is linked to kdesudo on ubuntu not the other way around | 14:28 |
| timri | WaltzingAlong: I think adept wants to store some credentials stuff in ~ sometimes | 14:28 |
| ajmoulen | but the same still holds I guess | 14:29 |
| timri | ajmoulen: Thanks, I took the 50% change I guessed right :) | 14:29 |
| psychoholic | this is the other error | 14:29 |
| timri | ajmoulen: And failed... | 14:29 |
| psychoholic | There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. | 14:29 |
| WaltzingAlong | psychoholic: in konsole, sudo aptitude -f install shows what? | 14:29 |
| ajmoulen | timri: it is Friday at least here, so that is okay ;-) | 14:29 |
| psychoholic | every time i update and install new apps | 14:30 |
| timri | Tsk, tsk what will big blue say ... | 14:30 |
| psychoholic | Adept | 14:30 |
| psychoholic | any update or install | 14:30 |
| ajmoulen | timri: if that was too me, they would say get back to work you slouch | 14:30 |
| timri | psychoholic: Adept spits out that generic warning for any number of reasons. Close adept, and try to run sudo aptitude from a konsole window | 14:31 |
| timri | ajmoulen: :) | 14:31 |
| Oldtoker | OH!!! WaltzingAlong, I had a wierd message about my nvidia driver.. it was trying to do some stuff.. "Restricted Driver manager" or something along those lines.. was trying to do something while the system was updating.. so I don't know if this is using the nvidia driver.. any way I can re-run the restricted driver thingy again? | 14:31 |
| Oldtoker | and yes BTW thingy is a very technical term.. :) | 14:32 |
| NightBird | question... I have a fresh install of fesity kubuntu, but when I pull up the package manager and update the list, it claims that there is a new version available. If I click on that button, it starts the version upgrade tool, but then it notices that I'm already running Feisty and closes. How do I fix this? | 14:32 |
| timri | psychoholic: Start konsole with alt+2, then konsole | 14:32 |
| timri | psychoholic: ehh... make that alt+F2 | 14:32 |
| psychoholic | well is did some thing | 14:32 |
| WaltzingAlong | Oldtoker: sure it is in kmenu/system settings/advanced/restricted drivers | 14:32 |
| NightBird | I've also tried an apt-get dist-upgrade, and that doesn't do anything | 14:33 |
| ubuntu | Please help me! I'm using kubuntu live cd, but the partitioner wont resize one partition, what should I do? The partition I want to resize is ntfs. | 14:33 |

| WaltzingAlong | NightBird: feisty is 7.04 and gutsy is 7.10, so yes there is a dist upgrade for feisty to gutsy | 14:33 |
| timri | psychoholic: ok, run sudo aptitude and tell me what it says | 14:33 |
| DaSkreech | timri: oh THE big blue | 14:33 |

| psychoholic | I will go I | 14:34 |
| ajmoulen | ubuntu: what error do you get? | 14:34 |
| ajmoulen | it is likely you have data at the end of the drive it can't move | 14:35 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntu, download and burn GParted Live CD partition editor. It's a bootable live cd which will edit your partitons and it's easy to use | 14:35 |
| ubuntu | no error, the resizing just stucks in 0% | 14:35 |
| NightBird | WaltzingAlong: what do you mean I should grab the updates? is there a new cd I need to download or something? | 14:35 |
| * timri already harrassed ridell about that qt3 package thingy. | 14:35 | |

| ajmoulen | DaSkreech: nothing against typewriters | 14:36 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntu, data dvd should work yes | 14:36 |
| WaltzingAlong | NightBird: no i just meant through adept manager, update sources list, install any upgrades; or from konsole, sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade | 14:36 |
| psychoholic | ok umm does this install a few programs or just the one you said kdesu | 14:36 |

| ehird_ | ajmoulen: yeah but i've already done that yesterday! i'm going to go in and disable the saving, but i want to keep my settings | 14:45 |
| ehird_ | ajmoulen: so i'd rather know where in .kde it is | 14:45 |
| ScorpKing | there is also bitchx for cli irc | 14:45 |
| ajmoulen | ~/.kde/share/config/sessions | 14:45 |
| ehird_ | thanks | 14:46 |
| ehird_ | Just rm -rf that, right, ajmoulen? | 14:46 |
| ajmoulen | I think so | 14:46 |
| ehird_ | OK. Thanks. | 14:46 |
| DaSkreech | or you know ... mv it incase bad thigns happen | 14:47 |
| * ScorpKing nods | 14:47 | |
| jpatrick | DaSkreech: too late, mate! | 14:47 |
| DaSkreech | jpatrick: I know but .. for future refrence | 14:48 |
| ajmoulen | DaSkreech: for him bad things already happened, he can't log in | 14:48 |
| ScorpKing | i hope he does not have mail in kmail | 14:48 |
| jpatrick | ajmoulen: and now he may have trashed his ~ dir if he didn't know what he was doing | 14:48 |
| ajmoulen | session doesn't keep track of email | 14:48 |
| BluesKaj | oops , I looks like GParted requires cd media , K3B won't burn it to a dvd+rw | 14:48 |
| ajmoulen | that is in the kmail configuration | 14:48 |
| ScorpKing | oh ya. | 14:48 |
| ajmoulen | sessions only stores what applications were running when you shutdown, the location and size of those applications | 14:49 |
| ScorpKing | i thought he'd rm .kde/ | 14:49 |
| ajmoulen | and if you are running kwin restores them to the appropriate location and size, under compiz just to the size | 14:49 |
| ajmoulen | ScorpKing: nope he asked which directory stored sessions, so I said ~/.kde/share/config/sessions | 14:50 |
| ScorpKing | i see now. | 14:50 |
| * ScorpKing hides.. | 14:50 | |
| WaltzingAlong | should be able to burn the cd iso to dvdr | 14:50 |

| ubotu | By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration | 14:56 |
| timri | ehird_: rm ~/.kde/share/config/session/* | 14:56 |
| ehird_ | (or in ~/.kde/config) | 14:56 |
| ehird_ | ajmoulen: yes, i did | 14:56 |
| timri | pfff | 14:56 |
| ehird_ | ajmoulen: (fix your typo) | 14:56 |
| ajmoulen | it is ~/.kde/share/config/session not sessions | 14:56 |
| ehird_ | yes | 14:56 |
| ehird_ | i know | 14:56 |
| ehird_ | i tab-completed it | 14:56 |
| ajmoulen | and you still couldn't log in? | 14:57 |
| ehird_ | however it still did it, just the window positions/sizes weren't remembered | 14:57 |
| ajmoulen | did you get any errors? | 14:57 |
| ehird_ | so, where in ~/.kde/config is the RestoreItAtStartupThing option? | 14:57 |
| timri | ehird_: system settings - settings manager 'always start with a new session' | 14:57 |
| ehird_ | and no | 14:57 |
| ehird_ | it just froze. | 14:57 |
| BluesKaj | is there a way to burn a cd image to a dvd+rw ? | 14:57 |
| ehird_ | timri: that'd be good if i could get into system settings. | 14:57 |
| ajmoulen | ehird_: good question | 14:57 |
| timri | ehird_: rm ~/.kde/share/config/session/* | 14:57 |
| ehird_ | i did that | 14:57 |
| ehird_ | i already said that. | 14:57 |
| stdin | BluesKaj: yep, just do it like it's a dvd image (ie: select "burn DVD image") | 14:58 |
| timri | ehird_: sudo adduser newuser | 14:58 |
| TheGateKeeper | ok thanks Lynoure let me try that | 14:58 |
| uhlive | can someone help me with a bootsplash | 14:58 |
| ehird_ | timri i am aware i could just remove my .kde however i do not wish to lose all of it | 14:58 |
| timri | ehird_: I understand, but using a new account will let you keep your old, while at the same time giving (perhaps) useful debug info | 14:58 |
| ehird_ | timri; i've moved .kde to .kdeold | 14:59 |
| uhlive | anyone? | 14:59 |
| ehird_ | so i'm in a 'green' kde right now | 14:59 |
| BluesKaj | cool stdin .... seems to be working :) | 14:59 |
| ScorpKing | uhlive: what is wrong with it? | 14:59 |
| ajmoulen | ksmserverrc | 14:59 |
| stdin | BluesKaj: I've had to do it a few times when I couldn't find a CD, so I know it works fine | 15:00 |
| ehird_ | ajmoulen: how obvious | 15:00 |
| ehird_ | :D | 15:00 |
| uhlive | scorpking well see my computer boots and then goes to the grub menu it says press esc to enter menu etc etc.. well then after that the computer screeen goes blank and i can't see anything until my login screen comes up.. | 15:00 |
| ajmoulen | ehird_: of course it is ;-) | 15:00 |
| ajmoulen | ksmserver -> KDE Session Management Server | 15:01 |
| uhlive | scorpking i would at least like to see all the text and stuff | 15:01 |
| ScorpKing | uhlive: make the resolution lower in /etc/usplash.conf | 15:01 |
| ajmoulen | makes perfect sense ;-), of course that is if you can find the silly thing via a search | 15:01 |
| BluesKaj | right on stdin...looks like it worked | 15:01 |
| ScorpKing | uhlive: you don't have to reboot to test it | 15:01 |
| WaltzingAlong | uhlive: remove 'splash' from the boot menu entries; perhaps 'quiet' as well | 15:02 |
| uhlive | scorpking it is set to 1024 768.. shouldn't that be ok? | 15:02 |
| uhlive | waltzingalong what file would i edit? | 15:02 |
| ScorpKing | uhlive: press control+alt+f1 and login. run sudo usplash -c . to get back press control+alt+f7. | 15:02 |
| ScorpKing | uhlive: maybe 800x600 wil work. | 15:03 |
| uhlive | scorpking ok.. but should i set that conf file to 800 600 | 15:03 |
| uhlive | ah ok.. hang on let me try taht | 15:03 |
| ScorpKing | yes | 15:03 |
| WaltzingAlong | uhlive: /boot/grub/menu.lst find # defoptions= then change it accordingly; save the file and update grub; update-grub | 15:04 |
| uhlive | k i'm gonna try all that.. thanks guys | 15:05 |
| ScorpKing | uhlive: after all that go back to tty1 and see if there are any errors. | 15:05 |
| ScorpKing | uhlive: don't go | 15:05 |
| uhlive | tty1? | 15:05 |
| uhlive | i'm not leaving | 15:05 |
| ScorpKing | ok | 15:05 |
| ScorpKing | any errors? | 15:05 |
| uhlive | just giving thanks lol | 15:05 |

| ehird__ | Stupid, STUPID KDE. | 15:10 |
| uhlive | gonna test it.. | 15:10 |
| ajmoulen | by deleting the ksmserverrc? | 15:10 |
| ehird__ | no. | 15:10 |
| ScorpKing | for the mv .kde .kdeold | 15:10 |
| ehird__ | no. | 15:10 |
| ehird__ | I fixed the ksmserverrc's session info, | 15:10 |
| uhlive | i think i can handle it from here.. i'll have to do some rebooting | 15:10 |
| ehird__ | did a "mv .kde2 .kde" | 15:10 |
| ehird__ | and then hard-rebooted so kde couldn't mess it up | 15:10 |
| ehird__ | evidently, kde watches ~/.kde like a hawk and synchs it | 15:10 |
| ajmoulen | apparently kde doesn't love you today | 15:10 |

| ajmoulen | ah yes | 15:10 |
| ehird__ | now i'm wondering how i tell kde to start being a lazy ass | 15:10 |
| uhlive | thanks for all the help | 15:11 |
| ajmoulen | it loads a fair amount of information into memory | 15:11 |
| ScorpKing | uhlive: save that link. | 15:11 |
| ajmoulen | then writes it out on session close | 15:11 |
| ScorpKing | uhlive: you're welcome | 15:11 |
| ehird__ | ajmoulen: yeah, but i pressed the reset button on my computer! | 15:11 |
| ehird__ | how could it have a chance? it literally had its power cut | 15:11 |
| ajmoulen | well you don't, what you do is make sure you are not in an X session when you modify the kde files | 15:11 |
| ehird__ | yeah | 15:11 |
| ehird__ | well. :| | 15:11 |
| WaltzingAlong | ehird__: and the journaling filesystem restored to when? | 15:11 |
| ehird__ | too late now | 15:11 |
| ehird__ | all my settings: gone | 15:11 |
| ehird__ | waltzingalong: it didn't, actually | 15:12 |
| ehird__ | waltzingalong: fsck checked it and it was OK | 15:12 |
| ehird__ | now, WHERE do I disable setting saving so I can stop this happening ever again | 15:12 |
| timri | ehird__: Perhaps Iam missing something, but where did the kde2 dir come from ? You didnt mention creating that one iirc | 15:12 |
| ajmoulen | what happens is that the files were open when you tried to copy under them, even though they looked right, you couldn't have changed them | 15:12 |
| ehird__ | timri: I typo'd, when I said kdeold I really meant kde2. | 15:13 |
| ehird__ | ajmoulen: I rm -rf'd .kde beforehand. | 15:13 |
| timri | ehird__: ok | 15:13 |
| === reinhold is now known as reinhold_away | ||

| ScorpKing | it* | 15:25 |
| timri | ajmoulen: No, those issues are beyond the control of KDE | 15:26 |

| ajmoulen | timri: no I am too lazy to improve performance on my machine, so i don't pay attention to these things | 15:26 |
| timri | tung: You installed the meta package "kubuntu-desktop" ? | 15:27 |
| ajmoulen | tung: did you install kde under ubuntu? | 15:27 |
| SpoZen | thanks | 15:27 |

| timri | ajmoulen: Ah, ok :) | 15:27 |
| timri | :) | 15:27 |
| ajmoulen | tung: so you installed kubuntu-desktop not just a pile of kde packages | 15:27 |
| ajmoulen | from a command line, try sudo apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade | 15:28 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | tung: are you trying to launch kde from inside gnome? | 15:28 |
| timri | ajmoulen: it is called safe-upgrade nowadays, "upgrade" is the new dist-upgrade I think | 15:29 |
| === elliott is now known as ehird` | ||
| tung | I can use KDE app inside GNOME | 15:29 |
| jasonago | also just a little prob, when creating numbered list or bulleted list in OpenOffice.org writer, it has this "field color" that wasn't present in earlier versions...I can't turn it off even in the configuration...now it looks like the page numbers with "field color" around them.... | 15:29 |
| ajmoulen | timri: why do they break things like this, whose smart idea was that? | 15:29 |
| tung | but I can't start KDE session under Ubuntu | 15:29 |
| * timri shares ajmoulens sentiment | 15:30 | |
| ajmoulen | timri: I left gentoo for crap like that | 15:30 |
| ajmoulen | heck through the years, I have left several distributions for stuff like that ;-) | 15:30 |
| ScorpKing | tung: you have to start a kde session from gdm/kdm | 15:31 |
| timri | ajmoulen: Yeah, the disregard for backwards compatibility is astounding | 15:31 |
| ajmoulen | tung: so when you are at the gdm login page you change your session to kde and while it is trying to start you get an error ? | 15:31 |
| tung | I start KDE session from gdm | 15:31 |
| jasonago | konqueror is also not functioning even in feisty unless I disable the cache although it is still very very slow and unbearable...Firefox do function without any glitches...I'm using a linuxant driver (free) and a dialup | 15:31 |
| ScorpKing | jasonago: it is a problem with knetworkmanager | 15:32 |
| tung | yes, I can't start KDE session | 15:32 |
| ajmoulen | jasonago: are you trying to carry forward old configuation files? | 15:32 |
| timri | jasonago: Try posing your statements more like specific questions, we can help you better that way. | 15:32 |
| ajmoulen | tung: you may need to reinstall the kde packages, I have seen that happen on a bad install before but not otherwise | 15:32 |
| ScorpKing | jasonago: klose knetworkmanager and it will work. because you use dailup and only have ppp0 and not eth* it thinks there is no default route so a lot of kde apps have no internet. | 15:33 |
| ScorpKing | close* | 15:33 |
| ajmoulen | tung: also did you have an old .kde directory you tried to move forward? | 15:33 |
| tung | I have installed kubuntu-desktop | 15:33 |
| ajmoulen | tung: unfortunately just removing and reinstalling that will not remove kde | 15:34 |
| ajmoulen | try running a kde app from within a terminal in gnome | 15:34 |
| ajmoulen | then check if kdeinit is started | 15:34 |
| tung | I see. The only thing I should do is to reinstall KDE. Right | 15:34 |
| ajmoulen | it may give you some ideas, also you could try startkde from within gnome and see what shows up in the terminal | 15:35 |
| ajmoulen | well I think you may need to figure out what is causing the failure and there should be some error message | 15:35 |
| tung | I can't use sudo apt-get install to install kdeinit | 15:35 |
| ajmoulen | so running startkde from a gnome terminal may give you some information that we may be able to help you with | 15:35 |
| ajmoulen | kdeinit isn't a package by itself | 15:36 |
| ajmoulen | at least I don't think it is | 15:36 |
| ajmoulen | what happens when you try typing kdeinit from a gnome terminal? | 15:36 |
| kuta | how to updates kubuntu? | 15:36 |
| VSpike | timri: looks like keep uses rdiff-backup in the background | 15:37 |
| stdin | kuta: see the topic | 15:37 |
| tung | I start KDE from GNOME terminal and the same error happens | 15:37 |
| timri | VSpike: Oops, didnt know that. | 15:37 |
| VSpike | me either :) | 15:38 |
| ajmoulen | but is that the only error? | 15:38 |
| VSpike | timri: as a UI, it sucks however.. so that's useful info as I'll try to just script rdiff-backup directly instead | 15:38 |
| ajmoulen | tung: that was toward you sorry | 15:38 |
| snake | hello | 15:39 |
| tung | when I type kdeinit in terminal, it says: | 15:39 |
| VSpike | timri: If I use rdiff-backup to an ntfs partition I'll lose ownerships and permissions, right? | 15:39 |
| tung | kdeinit: Shutting down running client. | 15:39 |

| snake | i have a problem. i opened a shell in kde but now everytime i restart the pc the shell reopens automatically. can anyone tell me how to remove it please ? | 15:39 |
| timri | VSpike: idea | 15:39 |
| timri | !pastebin | tung | 15:40 |
| VSpike | timri: heh thought you just lapsed into french for a moment | 15:40 |
| stdin | snake: exit the shell before you logout | 15:40 |
| snake | stdin: i tried | 15:40 |
| Nitz | guys | 15:40 |
| timri | VSpike: No, just icy hands | 15:40 |
| snake | i exit it anytime | 15:40 |
| snake | at the beggining | 15:40 |
| Nitz | kubuntu is very dificult for begining | 15:40 |
| ajmoulen | under the kde menu, do you have an option "save session"? | 15:40 |
| VSpike | timri: I can't see how it will preserve them ... tar could i guess but if it's just mirroring files it can't unless it tries to store all that stuff as metadata somewhere | 15:40 |
| Nitz | so how can i help to improve it and suggest bugs? | 15:41 |
| stdin | snake: manual way is system setting > advanced > session manager set it to start an empty session | 15:41 |
| timri | VSpike: one sec | 15:41 |
| snake | stdin: thank you | 15:41 |
| snake | going to try now | 15:41 |
| timri | VSpike: ok, Iam back. | 15:41 |
| VSpike | timri: oh actually it does.. "rdiff-backup records file metadata in a separate file so that all information is preserved even if the destination file system is missing features." | 15:42 |
| timri | VSpike: Even if it preserves your permissions (I could think of some kludge using ACls for that) you will have problems with some filenames | 15:42 |
| downix_ | I hate printer makers that supply Linux drivers that only work in 1 distro..... | 15:43 |

| === downix_ is now known as Downix | ||
| VSpike | yeah i need to reformat this external hdd to ext3 :) | 15:43 |
| B4S3M | how can i install HP lasrjet 1020 printer ? | 15:43 |
| Downix | Does anyone know how to extract a printer driver out of an .rpm so that I can manually install it? | 15:43 |
| timri | Downix: rms ? | 15:44 |
| VSpike | Downix: alien? | 15:44 |
| VSpike | B4S3M: did you check the database at http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting | 15:44 |
| tung | ajmoulen: how can I set up knetworkmanager to run at startup | 15:44 |
| timri | VSpike: That's what I do. | 15:44 |
| Downix | don't know rms, and alien just tried to install it like a .deb, which doesn't add it to the driver list for cups. | 15:44 |
| === keith is now known as CPrgmSwR2 | ||
| timri | Downix: ignore me pls. | 15:45 |
| ajmoulen | tung: wouldn't it make sense to first get kde to start before worrying about knetworkmanager? | 15:45 |
| mdos | hello all | 15:45 |
| Downix | timri: but you're so nice and helpful! 8) | 15:45 |
| timri | Downix: :) | 15:45 |
| tung | ajmoulen: because i can use KDE app inside Ubuntu | 15:45 |
| Downix | My thought was, could I un-archive the rpm to get at the driver file underneath, and install it through the "have driver" button of cups? | 15:45 |
| VSpike | tung: put a link into ~/.kde/Autostart | 15:46 |
| ajmoulen | tung: use gnome's network manager rather than kde's | 15:46 |
| ajmoulen | it is more complete anyway | 15:46 |
| VSpike | B4S3M: http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1020 | 15:47 |
| kuta | hi, after fectching updates in adept Manager, how to update my kubuntu to the latest patches? | 15:47 |
| ajmoulen | tung: if you haven't invested a lot into your system already, backup your home directory and reinstall kubuntu | 15:47 |
| ajmoulen | kuta: did you just fetch them? rather than install? | 15:47 |
| tung | ajmoulen: I think wicd is better than gnome network manager, but when I install kubuntu-desktop it force me to uninstall wicd | 15:47 |
| kuta | ajmoulen: fetch updates | 15:48 |
| timri | VSpike: To elaborate: my external backup drive also has a pristine kubuntu dapper install on it (separate partition), so that in case of disaster I can boot from it. | 15:48 |
| ajmoulen | kuta: on the bottom of the screen it should have install option | 15:48 |
| VSpike | timri: good idea | 15:48 |

| hydrogen | timri: right, thats because ps aux isn't a file | 17:22 |
| BluesKaj | timri, ?? | 17:22 |
| hydrogen | you can grep stdout or you can grep a file | 17:23 |
| timri | hydrogen: Well duh :) | 17:23 |
| hydrogen | it makes more sense to grep the file | 17:23 |
| hydrogen | then to put the file in stdout and grep that | 17:23 |

| excitatory | alrigh, so i have a radeon 9600 with dual heads (VGA & DVI). I want to add a second monitor to the dvi port and have a spanning or extra wide desktop. someone told me not to use xinerama anymore and to look into randr 1.2. i've searched around and everything i find is a bit confusing.. is there a coherent guide for setting this up? | 17:33 |
| i00nsu_ | excitatory: i have an 9600 but never put it on, alot of errors and my secound monitor never works... | 17:39 |
| i00nsu_ | be sure u have an non-old monitor :) | 17:40 |
| yan | i have 2 monitor , but i have a nvidia , and i use them with xinerama.. | 17:41 |
| yan | but its configured by my official nvidia driver.. | 17:41 |
| i00nsu_ | well is not ati | 17:42 |
| i00nsu_ | lots of ppl says well good about nvidia cards | 17:42 |
| yan | i heard ati didnt have good linux support... *im not an official source* | 17:43 |
| i00nsu_ | well maby you right .. cause the installation drive present itself as an wrong drive | 17:44 |
| i00nsu_ | for other distros work but is instable | 17:45 |
| i00nsu_ | maby in two three years linux will be more compatible for win games an so on | 17:47 |
| i00nsu_ | alien-arena have good playig hehe | 17:48 |
| Downix | i00nsu_: The irony is that Linux with Cedega can get more games running than Windows Vista can. | 17:48 |
| Downix | in my experience | 17:48 |
| Downix | admittedly, they're majority older games | 17:48 |
| i00nsu_ | Cedega? | 17:49 |
| i00nsu_ | hmmm never did heard about | 17:49 |
| yan | i think its a non free wine like app | 17:49 |
| Downix | It's a port of Wine with heavy focus on DirectX games. $5 a month | 17:49 |
| i00nsu_ | non free? | 17:49 |
| Downix | worth the $15 I've paid for it. | 17:49 |
| i00nsu_ | :/ | 17:49 |

| lordofthepigs | Hello! I'm trying to mount an ISO with "sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 myiso.iso /media/iso", but for some reason I can't get it to work | 17:51 |
| Downix | Wine runs quite a few, but they're not as fast to update specific game crashes. | 17:51 |
| i00nsu_ | well but u can run lineage2 for exemple? | 17:51 |
| yan | google lineage2 + cedega.. i think ull find something | 17:52 |
| yan | i never used wine or cedega to play game since i only play on xbox360 :P | 17:52 |
| i00nsu_ | yes, wine crash with most software | 17:52 |
| i00nsu_ | lol yanb | 17:52 |
| lordofthepigs | the iso mounts fine with deamon tools on windows | 17:52 |
| yan | lord, i don't think anyone here is skilled enought to help you :( | 17:53 |
| lordofthepigs | dmesg has the following message "Unable to identify CD-ROM format" | 17:53 |
| yan | im new to linux so i can't.. sry | 17:53 |
| Downix | I run City of Heroes on Cedega. It runs under Wine, but less stable | 17:55 |
| i00nsu_ | but some software everyone can run with wine .. i have tryd Fruity Loops 7.0 and just a few samples wouldn't installed .. but is ok.. | 17:55 |
| i00nsu_ | hmmm.. good references... now I will google it | 17:56 |
| Downix | lordofthepigs: What format is the disk in? | 17:56 |
| lordofthepigs | well, iso9660, I suppose | 17:57 |
| lordofthepigs | how can I find out for sure? | 17:57 |
| Downix | hex view the file? | 17:57 |
| lordofthepigs | er... and how is that going to tell me which format it is in? | 17:58 |
| lordofthepigs | I read somewhere to use the file command | 17:58 |
| lordofthepigs | and it returns myiso.iso: data | 17:58 |
| Downix | well, if you know what the different file format headers are, you'll know that way | 18:00 |

| Gerrit | Hello. How do I tell my wireless card (Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG) to use 802.11b (11 mbit) rather than 802.11g (54 mbit)? If we change the mode in the router, I can no longer connect, but if we change it back, I can. Do I configure it with iwconfig or something like that? | 18:20 |
| ajmoulen | I think floppy drives should appear there | 18:20 |
| jim88 | what's the command line entry lol | 18:20 |
| grim_reaper2001 | is there a way in irssi to get different people to show up in different colours? | 18:20 |
| ajmoulen | jim88: under the kde menu, system settings, no idea what the command line is for it | 18:20 |
| jim88 | one sec | 18:21 |
| Gerrit | I am using the ipw2200 network driver. | 18:21 |
| ajmoulen | Gerrit: if your router is set to B you should automatically connect to it without changing anything | 18:21 |
| ajmoulen | Gerrit: you shouldn't need to tell the system you want B rather than G unless you router continues to advertise G when it refuses to negotiate G | 18:22 |
| lordofthepigs | how can I find out the FS type of an iso? | 18:22 |
| lordofthepigs | well, a CD image, since I'm not sure it actually is an iso9660 image | 18:22 |
| jim88 | ajmoulen I dont see it but have mounted it and it the light comes on but cannot access it ... I did check and have permission | 18:22 |
| ajmoulen | check under /media | 18:23 |
| ajmoulen | you may find the mounted folder there | 18:23 |
| jim88 | it's listed as fd0 | 18:23 |
| Gerrit | ajmoulen: If it's set to B, it won't connect. If it's set to G, it will. | 18:23 |
| ajmoulen | Gerrit: let me ask the obvious question, why would you force your router to B? | 18:24 |
| seezer | lordofthepigs: try `file /path/to/fiilename` | 18:24 |
| Gerrit | ajmoulen: Because 10 other wireless routers are using G in a range of 20m. | 18:24 |
| Gerrit | or perhaps a range of 40m | 18:24 |
| ajmoulen | jim88: not sure I understand the problem | 18:24 |
| Gerrit | ajmoulen: There is a lot of interference when we use G | 18:24 |
| jim88 | I cannot access the contents of the floppy | 18:24 |
| ajmoulen | B and G use the same frequency | 18:24 |
| lordofthepigs | Ah, I just found it using a windows tool... | 18:25 |
| ajmoulen | A is what you would want if you want to use a different frequency | 18:25 |
| Gerrit | My neighbours claim that the internet works better with B. | 18:25 |
| lordofthepigs | it seems the filesystem type is Joliet | 18:25 |
| ajmoulen | they may just have a devices that is better at dropping crosstalk | 18:25 |
| Gerrit | Is it possible that we have less packet loss with B than with G? | 18:25 |
| lordofthepigs | so how can I mount that? mount -t joliet? | 18:25 |
| seezer | lordofthepigs: iso9660 should work if joilet support is in the kernel | 18:26 |
| ajmoulen | Gerrit: not sure | 18:26 |
| lordofthepigs | seezer: and is it by default? | 18:26 |
| ajmoulen | Gerrit: you could try manually setting the channel to something other than 11 | 18:26 |
| lordofthepigs | I don't remember installing that explicitely | 18:26 |
| seezer | yes should be | 18:27 |
| lordofthepigs | seezer: Well for some reason, it still doesnt want to mount | 18:27 |
| nagyv | Hello! How can I find out if my ethernet card is wrong or just the config/modules/sw? I've a Compaq Presario 700 with a built-in ehternet card, according to lspci it's a Realtek 8139. But still I have no net over it | 18:27 |
| seezer | perhaps its a "freak" format of alcohol120% or whatever products exist out there | 18:27 |
| Gerrit | ajmoulen: ok | 18:28 |
| lordofthepigs | sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 myiso.iso /media/iso doesn't work | 18:28 |
| lordofthepigs | this yields an "Unable to identify CD-ROM format" in the syslog | 18:28 |
| ajmoulen | Gerrit: the only thing that may make sense is that G is a little more sensitive then B, but once you connect it shouldn't matter anymore | 18:29 |
| ajmoulen | lordofthepigs: are you sure the image is good? | 18:29 |
| Gerrit | ajmoulen: Then perhaps my neighbours are mistaken. | 18:29 |
| lordofthepigs | ajmoulen: It mounts in windows with poweriso | 18:29 |
| Gerrit | I will discuss it with them. | 18:29 |
| ajmoulen | lordofthepigs: are you trying to mount a file off a fat32 partition or something like that in Linux? | 18:30 |

| ajmoulen | jim88: from /media/fd0 or from that KDE link? | 18:31 |
| lordofthepigs | [13:28] <lordofthepigs> sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 myiso.iso /media/iso doesn't work | 18:31 |
| kingmanto | lo vedo ma non riesco ad aprire accesso negato | 18:31 |
| jim88 | ajmoulen: from the KDE link | 18:31 |
| ajmoulen | lordofthepigs: notice the lack of -t iso9660 | 18:31 |
| lordofthepigs | ajmoulen: If I don't use the -t iso9660 option, I get an "you need to specify the filesystem type" error | 18:31 |
| ajmoulen | lordofthepigs: it isn't recognizing the file type | 18:31 |
| jim88 | ajmoulen: media/fd0 does exist | 18:32 |
| ajmoulen | lordofthepigs: I mount iso files all the time, and never put a -t iso9660 | 18:32 |
| lordofthepigs | ajmoulen: any idea what I can do? | 18:32 |
| ajmoulen | well if it works in windows burn it to CD would be my best suggestion | 18:32 |
| ajmoulen | jim88: if it is just the KDE link, then I would suggest just going direct to that directory from dolphin or whatever app you choose and forget the icon | 18:33 |
| lordofthepigs | bah, I'm trying to extract an ISO from my mounted image :) | 18:33 |
| lordofthepigs | we'll see what I get to with that... | 18:33 |
| jim88 | ajmoulen: I understand but there is nothing there and I know there is something on the disk | 18:34 |
| ajmoulen | jim88: from the command prompt when you do ls /media/fd0 you get nothing? | 18:36 |
| jim88 | ajmoulen: yes | 18:36 |
| ajmoulen | then you don't really have it mounted | 18:37 |
| lordofthepigs | ajmoulen: heh, it seems that my extracting the mounted image into another iso worked properly | 18:37 |
| jim88 | ajmoulen: I did mount -a | 18:38 |
| jim88 | ajmoulen: and got no errors | 18:38 |
| ajmoulen | type mount (do not paste it all here) do you see something specifically mounted to /media/fd0? | 18:38 |
| jim88 | ajmoulen: ok it gave me an error mddosfs | 18:39 |
| jim88 | ajmoulen: I changed fstab to auto and it gave no errors | 18:41 |
| jim88 | ajmoulen: now it works | 18:42 |

Do not know whether it's related but this often (not always) happens after hybernation, ktorrent also seems to have problems. i did a /etc/init.d/networking restart. is there any KDE specific networking service i need to restart? I run Gutsy. | 18:46 |
| patricio | what could be the reason, why knetworkmanager suddenly stops looking for active interfaces? seems like hotplug is down | 18:51 |
| === _gukk is now known as gukk_devel | ||
| patricio | but when I restart, nothing changes: No w-lan accesspoints show up, and if i plug in the ethernet cable, there is no automatic dhclient'ing | 18:52 |
| patricio | I can only go for manual network configuration in knetworkmanager | 18:52 |
| patricio | this all started when I first killed knetworkmanager and set ifconfig eth0 192.168.123.111 just because I only needed point to point there for accessing a newly bought router (so no dhcp there) | 18:53 |
| patricio | actually I think, this is knetworkmanager, clicking on "manual configure" doesn't let pop up any window ... :I | 18:55 |
| patricio | kNetworkManager 0.2 | 18:55 |
| jim88 | ajmoulen: no, you helped ... just thankful you guys are here | 18:58 |

| patricio | what input do you need, to better help me? | 19:00 |
| dthacker-work | patricio, why not use System-->Settings? | 19:04 |
| pacman | is there any particular reason why Kubuntu keeps freezing on me? | 19:04 |
| dthacker-work | pacman: you will need to provide more information than that. | 19:05 |
| pacman | it does it especially after I've been trying to add stuff in Adept | 19:05 |
| pacman | it'll just freeze, and I'll have to restart | 19:06 |
| patricio | ....... hmpf | 19:06 |
| dthacker-work | pacman: not sure, I am also having a | 19:07 |
| dthacker-work | Adept issues | 19:07 |
| yan | pacman, if u use aptitude is it freezing? | 19:08 |
| yan | or do you use the adept_manager? (GUI) | 19:08 |
| pacman | you mean sudo apt-get? | 19:08 |
| yan | there sudo apt-get and sudo aptitude | 19:09 |
| pacman | I use both....been using adept since I'm just setting up my new HD | 19:09 |
| yan | does sudo apt-get freeze kde? | 19:09 |
| pacman | no, it doesn't | 19:09 |
| yan | so only the gui does right? | 19:09 |
| pacman | yeah | 19:10 |
| yan | well i have some issu with the adept_manager (gui) 2.. so i started to use sudo apt-get | 19:10 |
| yan | i look in adept_manager for the package i want | 19:10 |
| yan | then download/install them trought apt-get | 19:10 |
| yan | if u absolutely need a GUI to do that then type in console sudo apt-get install synaptic | 19:11 |
| pacman | I guess I'll start doing that | 19:11 |
| yan | when it's installed, type synaptic | 19:11 |
| yan | its another package manager | 19:11 |
| pacman | synaptic is the Gnome version of adept, right? | 19:11 |
| yan | ewww i just started to use linux so i cant tell u | 19:12 |
| ardchoille | pacman: yes, but a lot of folks think synaptic is much better | 19:12 |
| pacman | I've never tried it, though my g/f has ubuntu on her box | 19:12 |
| yan | you could try it | 19:12 |
| ardchoille | pacman: I hate GTK apps, but I use synaptic when I need a gui for package management. | 19:13 |
| pacman | opening it now | 19:13 |
| ardchoille | Kinda says a lot | 19:13 |
| ardchoille | pacman: Synaptic? | 19:14 |
| pacman | yes | 19:14 |
| ardchoille | pacman: I'd like to make one suggestion wrt synaptic | 19:14 |
| pacman | okay | 19:15 |
| ardchoille | When it opens, click on Settings > Preferences and make sure the option "Show package properties in the main window" is checked. | 19:15 |
| ardchoille | That will get you a nice "package explanation" in the main window | 19:15 |

| _Angelus_ | create a partition double the size of you're ram and choose to use as swap | 19:33 |
| _Angelus_ | :) | 19:33 |
| ubuntu | allright | 19:33 |
| ubuntu | 2048 | 19:33 |
| _Angelus_ | yeah | 19:33 |
| ubuntu | but how do I choose it as swap? | 19:33 |
| _Angelus_ | and select to use as swap | 19:33 |
| ubuntu | how to select? | 19:34 |
| ubuntu | there comes some box | 19:34 |
| _Angelus_ | from were you select the size | 19:34 |
| ubuntu | ok | 19:34 |
| _Angelus_ | yeah | 19:34 |
| _Angelus_ | you have an option in that box | 19:34 |
| ubuntu | do I write "swap" in it or? | 19:34 |
| _Angelus_ | use as: | 19:34 |
| _Angelus_ | no | 19:34 |
| ubuntu | ok | 19:34 |
| _Angelus_ | it's a drop down box | 19:34 |
| ubuntu | umm | 19:34 |
| ubuntu | ext3? | 19:34 |
| _Angelus_ | you can select the filesystem type | 19:34 |
| _Angelus_ | no | 19:34 |
| _Angelus_ | swap | 19:34 |
| _Angelus_ | not ext3 | 19:34 |
| ubuntu | oooooooohhhkdjglkdjgldkfgj | 19:34 |
| ubuntu | lol :D | 19:34 |
| _Angelus_ | you have a choice called swap | 19:34 |
| ubuntu | thanks alot! | 19:34 |
| _Angelus_ | hehe | 19:34 |
| _Angelus_ | xD | 19:34 |
| ubuntu | understood :D | 19:34 |
| _Angelus_ | then make a partition and use it as / | 19:35 |
| ubuntu | I made the ext3 and / now | 19:35 |
| ubuntu | then swap | 19:35 |
| _Angelus_ | i recommand making another to partitions, one as /boot and the other as /home | 19:35 |
| _Angelus_ | *two | 19:35 |
| ubuntu | Well I'll make: windows, media, swap and a kubuntu | 19:35 |
| _Angelus_ | oh | 19:35 |
| The_Machine | i have an xvid i'm trying to watch with Kaffeine and the video is all weird | 19:36 |
| _Angelus_ | why would you do media on a separate partition? | 19:36 |
| ubuntu | well when windows crashes, then I can reinstall it without problems | 19:36 |
| ubuntu | by media I mean videos etc | 19:36 |
| The_Machine | i'm not sure how to troubleshoot it w/ linux | 19:36 |
| _Angelus_ | oh | 19:36 |
| The_Machine | it's obviously a codec problem | 19:36 |
| The_Machine | but i've played other divx files on here just fine. | 19:36 |
| _Angelus_ | ubuntu then why don't you make /home as a separate partition and save you're media in you're /home/user so if you format youre computer you won't loose you're programs settings and you won;t loose you're media :) | 19:37 |
| ubuntu | ummm | 19:37 |
| ubuntu | then I cant read it from windows | 19:37 |

| * dthacker-work left his coffee in the break room..... | 20:57 | |
| puzzud | created/uploaded | 20:58 |
| puzzud | is it possible someone didn't set the correct group access rights on them? | 20:58 |
| arash | nosrednaekim: well, one thing for both of us, maybe you shouldnt tell newbies to type \ sudo dpkg/reconfigure xserver/xorg . non of what said there maid sense | 20:58 |
| eicca | nosrednaekim: is there a virtual machine available on kubuntu? some that could run windows xp | 20:58 |
| nosrednaekim | eicca: virtualbox | 20:58 |
| nosrednaekim | arash: well, if you go with the defaults,you are good :D | 20:59 |
| arash | but restarting x worked, but not my keyboard layout is changed , and also, I wonder if my ATI drivers is uninstalled now, can I upgrade to 7.10 | 20:59 |
| arash | nosrednaekim , I just pressed esc out of scareness >D | 20:59 |
| eicca | nosrednaekim: is it good? | 20:59 |
| nosrednaekim | arash: your ati drivers are probably still installed, but not being used | 21:00 |
| nosrednaekim | eicca: excellent | 21:00 |
| nosrednaekim | eicca: youneed over a gig of ram though.. | 21:00 |
| eicca | nosrednaekim: I like the sound of that :P | 21:00 |
| eicca | Well I have 1 gig | 21:00 |
| eicca | in windows the microsoft virtual machine worked fine | 21:00 |
| nosrednaekim | ok... you should be good then | 21:00 |
| nosrednaekim | ok | 21:00 |
| nosrednaekim | eicca: you will have to reinstall WindowsXP into it | 21:01 |
| eicca | nosrednaekim: I know | 21:02 |
| nosrednaekim | eicca: you aren't going to be playing any games in it though. | 21:07 |
| eicca | I know that too ;) | 21:08 |
| nosrednaekim | eicca: this your first time using linux? | 21:08 |
| eicca | umm no | 21:08 |
| arash | nosrednaekim , why can't you play games in a virtual machine? | 21:08 |
| nosrednaekim | I ask...cause I want to stop assuming that you know nothing.. | 21:08 |
| nosrednaekim | ok.. good XD | 21:08 |
| eicca | I know just very little :P | 21:09 |
| eicca | arash you'd need a very fast computer | 21:09 |
| nosrednaekim | arash: no 3d acceleration | 21:09 |
| eicca | at all? | 21:09 |
| eicca | what about for example java games | 21:09 |
| eicca | that has a little 3d | 21:09 |
| arash | nosrednaekim: can I play 10/13 year old games if I got a very good graphics card :p? | 21:09 |
| nosrednaekim | eicca: only what can be done on your CPU | 21:10 |
| eicca | umm ok | 21:10 |
| Dr_Willis | I play games in 'virtual' machines all the time. | 21:10 |
| eicca | For example runescape? | 21:10 |
| drarem | ok so i have glade and anjuta, now what... | 21:11 |
| nosrednaekim | arash: actually, anything more than 5-6 years old will play decently | 21:11 |
| eicca | I want to run macro on it | 21:11 |
| puzzud | is anyone here a kubuntu dev? | 21:11 |
| Dr_Willis | C64, amiga, Dosbox, ect.. and all the mame games.. :0 | 21:11 |
| drarem | on glade, the menu shows up in the middle of the window maximized, like any button or image control I add to it | 21:11 |
| drarem | it's confusing | 21:11 |
| nosrednaekim | eicca: don't know what that is. | 21:11 |
| arash | nosrednaekim: sounds interesting, I'll keep the name of it in mind :) | 21:11 |
| eicca | nosrednaekim: www.runescape.com | 21:11 |
| slow-motion | re | 21:11 |
| eicca | but yea | 21:12 |
| eicca | I have to go to sleep | 21:12 |
| nosrednaekim | puzzud: they hang out over at #kubuntu-devel | 21:12 |
| eicca | thanks alot guys and see you! | 21:12 |
| puzzud | nosrednaekim: thx | 21:12 |
| nosrednaekim | drarem: wrong channel for glade. | 21:12 |
| drarem | heh, don't have channel operator access to #glade | 21:12 |
| nosrednaekim | drarem: try #ubuntu-motu | 21:13 |
| drarem | thanks :) | 21:14 |
| nosrednaekim | or #ubunt-devel | 21:14 |
| nosrednaekim | or #gnome | 21:14 |
| drarem | cool | 21:14 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | well, aparently the 403 errors are a known issue. Looks like i will have to wait until they fix the updates. | 21:26 |
| KDEusr | synaptic transaction set check failed | 21:40 |
| KDEusr | anyone know why? | 21:40 |
| Dr_Willis | check is in the mail? | 21:41 |
| Dr_Willis | :) | 21:41 |
| ardchoille | hahaha | 21:42 |
| Henkie | hi, my kdm doesnt recognize my default kde | 21:43 |
| Henkie | where is the setting responsible? | 21:44 |
| Henkie | it always start gnome | 21:44 |
| Henkie | starts | 21:44 |
| jpatrick | Henkie: in session menu press kde | 21:44 |
| Henkie | jpatrick, yeah, but it doesnt remember | 21:44 |
| jpatrick | hmm | 21:45 |
| ardchoille | I thought kdm rememberd the last session and set it to default | 21:45 |
| Henkie | same here, but it doesnt | 21:45 |
| Dr_Willis | the users have a .dmrc file (i think) that it saves it in. | 21:45 |
| Dr_Willis | some times that file gets the wrong permissions and cant be saved | 21:46 |
| Henkie | ah, sounds about right | 21:46 |
| ardchoille | Dr_Willis: my ~/.dmrc file says: Session=default | 21:46 |
| sn00zer | Henkie: check this forum: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/27155-making-kde-default-session.html | 21:46 |
| Henkie | i moved my home dir to another uid because of winbind | 21:46 |
| Dr_Willis | ardchoille change it to kde then. :) or just delete the file | 21:47 |
| Dr_Willis | it will remake it next time you liogin | 21:47 |
| ardchoille | Ah, ok | 21:47 |
| Henkie | alright, i'll try it at work tomorrow | 21:48 |
| arash | Hi, I try to upgrade to Gutsy, but I get this error after a short while http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44807/ | 21:48 |
| WaltzingAlong | arash: should comment out those anyway since they are for feisty and you are on gutsy now | 21:50 |
| arash | WaltzingAlong: huh? Im on 7.04 now, I want to upgrade to 7.10, and during that installatioon with adept it hangs and says that those 3 lines are the problem | 21:52 |
| ardchoille | arash: What he meant was that if you are upgrading *to* Gutsy, you shouldn't have any Feisty repos enabled | 21:53 |
| arash | ardchoille: ah OK :), what acction should be taken | 21:53 |
| arash | ? | 21:53 |
| ardchoille | arash: as WaltzingAlong mentioned, comment out all the Fesity repos | 21:54 |
| arash | ardchoille: /etc/sources ? | 21:54 |
| ardchoille | arash: But, there's a better way to upgrade | 21:54 |
| ardchoille | !upgrade | arash | 21:54 |
| ubotu | arash: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 21:54 |
| Henkie | how do i get rid of dash? | 21:54 |
| Henkie | because it kinda annoys me | 21:55 |
| ardchoille | !info dash | 21:55 |
| ubotu | dash: The Debian Almquist Shell. In component main, is required. Version 0.5.4-1ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 85 kB, installed size 208 kB | 21:55 |
| ardchoille | Well, that description helped a lot | 21:55 |
| arash | ardchoille: huh?, not through the KDE applications? | 21:55 |
| Henkie | :) | 21:55 |
| Henkie | i kinda said i couldnt :P | 21:55 |
| Henkie | i -> it | 21:55 |
| BluesKaj | arash, upgrading from launchpad ? | 21:55 |
| ardchoille | arash: I was under the impression that the gui upgrader took care of that for you | 21:55 |
| arash | BluesKaj: I followed the steps that were mentioned in the channels topic | 21:56 |
| arash | in the link in the channels topic * | 21:56 |
| ardchoille | amaranth.. I recognise that word from somewhere | 21:56 |
| MaTiAz | Nightwish? | 21:57 |
| arash | ardchoille: hmm, maybe I should comment em out manually? | 21:57 |
| ardchoille | arash: I would. /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:58 |
| Henkie | kde printing seems not to work, but printing from a gnome app does work | 21:59 |
| Henkie | what can be the problem? | 22:00 |
| ardchoille | arash: Where did you get those sources from anyway (amaranth)? | 22:00 |
| arash | ardchoille: dunno, :p, probably some manual told me too :) | 22:01 |
| arash | ardchoille: u know where they are from? | 22:01 |
| ardchoille | arash: Ok, the only reason I asked is because those sources are missing the "component" | 22:02 |
| sn00zer | i'm using beryl (i know its outdated) but aquamarine crashed and now all the window decorators disappeared from the list except gtk\ | 22:02 |
| sn00zer | any clue as to what happened? | 22:02 |
| arash | ardchoille: u use 7.10 ? | 22:02 |
| ardchoille | arash: Yes | 22:02 |
| arash | ardchoille: hehe, Im gonna be enjoying KDE 3.5.8 anytime now :D | 22:03 |
| ardchoille | It's nice. I had my doubts about upgrading, but I'm glad I did. Kubuntu ROCKS! | 22:03 |
| arash | ardchoille: hehe, well, cya , it tells me to close down all programs, | 22:04 |
| ardchoille | ok | 22:04 |
| sn00zer | anyone? | 22:04 |
| MilitantPotato | my wife keeps getting 403 forbidden messages trying to upgrade samba via synaptic or adept, anyone else having this problem? | 22:04 |
| ardchoille | !beryl | sn00zer | 22:05 |
| ubotu | sn00zer: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 22:05 |
| ardchoille | MilitantPotato: Might be a problem with the repos.. althought it isn't often, it's known to happen | 22:05 |
| sn00zer | i know know.... upgrade... | 22:05 |
| Daisuke-Ido | MilitantPotato: about everyone's having the problem | 22:05 |
| MilitantPotato | Ok, atleast it's not a local issue :) | 22:06 |
| Daisuke-Ido | ardchoille: right now it seems very widespread | 22:06 |
| === [1]Netham45 is now known as Netham45 | ||
| ardchoille | Daisuke-Ido: Ah, ok | 22:06 |
| Daisuke-Ido | but i have faith it will be restored to glory shortly | 22:06 |
| sn00zer | is the compiz in the fiesty repos the same as compiz-fusion? | 22:07 |
| MilitantPotato | are you using amaranth's repo? | 22:07 |
| sn00zer | talking to me MilitantPotato? | 22:08 |
| MilitantPotato | yea | 22:08 |
| sn00zer | i doubt it, i'm using the default repos | 22:08 |
| MilitantPotato | is compiz included in the feisty repos now? | 22:08 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, seems to me only certain countries are having repository/install-update probs , but not all. I haven't seen it in .ca repos ...but the prob could be package dependent | 22:08 |
| ardchoille | !info compiz | 22:08 |

| ardchoille | BluesKaj: No problems here (http://archive.ubuntu.com/blah) | 22:09 |
| sn00zer | well there's compiz, compiz-core, compiz-dev, compiz-extra, compiz-gnome, compiz-gtk, compiz-kde, and compiz-plugins under aptitude but could that be the old compiz? | 22:10 |
| arash | dang | 22:10 |
| arash | same problem, but new sources | 22:10 |
| arash | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44813/ | 22:11 |
| ardchoille | arash: Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list ? I'll have a look | 22:11 |
| arash | any ideas? | 22:11 |
| ardchoille | arash: That looks like the same issue others are having right now | 22:11 |
| arash | oh, so theres nothing to do about it :< ? | 22:12 |
| ardchoille | Not at the moment | 22:13 |
| tilt | I'm a new user of Kubuntu and it's the first time that i wanna install a prog wich isn't on Add/Rem prog. How i'm supposed to do that? | 22:13 |
| arash | ardchoille , then Im gonna be an Vista user until the CD's arrive :( | 22:14 |
| ehird` | tilt: First you must flip the magnetic quantum flux of your soul. | 22:14 |
| arash | tilt , have you tried adept-manager? | 22:14 |
| ehird` | tilt: Then, you must reinforce the portal to exemplify its positive/negative output points. | 22:14 |
| tilt | yes... the prog is not in.. | 22:14 |
| ehird` | tilt: Then, you must start konsole and type "sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAME". | 22:14 |
| ehird` | Actually you only have to do the last bit. | 22:14 |
| tilt | nice thx i take this in note | 22:14 |
| ardchoille | ehird`: That's not helping | 22:15 |
| ehird` | ardchoille: Hey! I did help. ... eventually | 22:15 |
| ardchoille | hehe | 22:15 |
| myrdos | How can I tell what the dungeon I'm in is called? | 22:16 |
| myrdos | Like "gnomish mines" or "sokoban" | 22:16 |
| myrdos | Is there a way? | 22:16 |
| Daisuke-Ido | huh? | 22:17 |
| arash | well, thanks anyway :) | 22:17 |
| BluesKaj | ardchoille, this one is ok, http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ | 22:17 |
| ardchoille | BluesKaj: Ah, thanks | 22:18 |
| tilt | E: Couldn't find package poweriso.tar.gz | 22:18 |
| tilt | where the package should be? | 22:18 |
| ehird` | tilt: don't install from a tar. | 22:19 |
| ehird` | tilt: try 'sudo apt-get install poweriso', failing that google for ubuntu packages | 22:19 |
| BluesKaj | tar files are normally not listed in repositories that adept and synaptic use | 22:19 |
| ehird` | failing that, get dirty with the command line and compile it yourself with that tar | 22:20 |
| BluesKaj | not impressed with the latest version of poweriso | 22:20 |
| tilt | have you another prog that read .daa? | 22:21 |
| BluesKaj | it's hacked from the windows app | 22:21 |
| ehird` | BluesKaj: does it use WINE? :| | 22:21 |
| ehird` | if so i wish they didn't say it supports Linux. Ive seen loads of things saying 'Supports linux too, with WINE!' and I just think 'no. just no.' | 22:21 |
| BluesKaj | dunno , ehird` ..using kiso or k3b | 22:22 |
| tilt | k3b do not open it | 22:22 |
| BluesKaj | the older vesions of acetoneiso were good | 22:22 |
| BluesKaj | but not the newer ones | 22:23 |
| Greenery | i cant update samba from the current update, something about commiting | 22:24 |
| BluesKaj | ehird`, tilt , I used poweriso in windows and it was clunky | 22:24 |
| Dr_Willis | ive herad of some others with similer issues Greenery - i think there may be a bug in the updates | 22:24 |
| Dr_Willis | Greenery may want to try again in a day or so | 22:24 |

| BluesKaj | ardchoille, dunno , I normally use the gui ...it's easier for us old windows users :) | 22:34 |
| ardchoille | :) | 22:34 |
| faires | I tried ffmpeg, but it doesn't have a 3gp support when downloading through Adept | 22:35 |
| ardchoille | I always like to know the cli way of doing things in case a gui breaks. But, I've never had a gui break. | 22:35 |
| faires | (at least it's accusing it) | 22:35 |
| faires | ubotu: 3gp | 22:35 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about 3gp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 22:35 |

| leo_rockw | hello everyone | 22:36 |
| leo_rockw | can someone help me set up kpf? | 22:36 |
| ardchoille | tilt: Are you logged into the root account? You can use sudo for tar | 22:37 |
| MilitantPotato | BluesKaj: yea, it lists me, but I'm not seeing an option to change the login windows manager..? It's using the GDM login screen and options, instead of KDE's | 22:37 |
| tilt | ardchoille: i have use sudo su - and i enter my password before i write down this command.. | 22:37 |
| ubuntu | I am just about at wits end here with these STUPID partitioning programs on the live cds!!!! | 22:38 |
| ubuntu | why is my drive status "busy" when nothing's mounted?!! | 22:38 |
| faires | How can I convert files to 3gp on Kubuntu? I tried ffmpeg, but it doesn't have a 3gp support when downloading through Adept (or at least it say so) | 22:38 |
| MilitantPotato | when I first installed KDE on my Ubuntu install it asked if I wanted to use GDM or KDM as a login manager, I chose GDM because I wanted to try KDE first. Turns out I prefer it and want KDE to handle the login screen. | 22:39 |
| leo_rockw | ubuntu: if the program is so "stupid" then program your own, otherwise don't complain | 22:39 |
| hydrogen | leo_rockw: thats a stupid way to look at it. | 22:39 |
| ubuntu | im not getting mnuch help here | 22:39 |
| ubuntu | this is day 2 | 22:39 |
| ubuntu | i tried to gparted live cd, and it just crashes | 22:39 |
| leo_rockw | hydrogen: you can't say something is stupid when someone put a lot of effort into it | 22:39 |
| hydrogen | leo_rockw: one can complain about how bad a program is without having a better alternative | 22:39 |
| ardchoille | tilt: Ok, just for future reference, there is hardly a need to use su, using sudo can do most everything. I've been using ubuntu since 2004 and never have needed to be in a root shell | 22:40 |
| hydrogen | leo_rockw: sure you can.. we say it about windows all the time | 22:40 |
| leo_rockw | hydrogen: then program one yourself | 22:40 |
| MilitantPotato | ubuntu Serial or ATA? | 22:40 |
| hydrogen | leo_rockw: why? | 22:40 |
| hydrogen | leo_rockw: I can call it stupid without doing so | 22:40 |
| leo_rockw | hydrogen: why not? | 22:40 |
| ubuntu | MilitantPotato: ATA | 22:40 |
| leo_rockw | hydrogen: that's being ungrateful | 22:40 |
| hydrogen | leo_rockw: because programming my own doesn't automatically make the other more or less stupid | 22:40 |
| MilitantPotato | ubuntu do you have the jumpers set correctly? | 22:40 |
| ubuntu | It claims my old swap drive from the partition im trying to erase is mounted | 22:40 |
| leo_rockw | hydrogen: the source is there, if you want to make it better, then make it better | 22:40 |
| hydrogen | leo_rockw: right, but even if I don't make it better it doesn't stop it from being stupid | 22:40 |
| ubuntu | MilitantPotato: its been working fine. | 22:41 |
| leo_rockw | hydrogen: if you don't make it better, then don't complain | 22:41 |
| hydrogen | logic is good. | 22:41 |
| hydrogen | leo_rockw: No, I'm free to complain about it. | 22:41 |
| leo_rockw | hydrogen: the program is not stupid if it works for others | 22:41 |

| hydrogen | leo_rockw: err, let me bring up windows again? | 22:41 |
| tilt | ardchoille: ok... and you said that i can install a .tar.gz with sudo? the guys before you just said that it was impossible | 22:41 |
| leo_rockw | hydrogen: i never called windows stupid | 22:41 |
| hydrogen | leo_rockw: nope, but we all think it | 22:41 |
| ubuntu | I did. | 22:41 |
| leo_rockw | hydrogen: so your logic ends there | 22:41 |
| leo_rockw | hydrogen: this is OT anyway | 22:41 |
| leo_rockw | hydrogen: i don't | 22:41 |
| hydrogen | leo_rockw: at least my logic started somewhere. | 22:41 |
| hydrogen | anyways | 22:41 |
| hydrogen | off topic | 22:41 |
| hydrogen | lets move on | 22:41 |
| ardchoille | tilt: tar packs and unpacks files, you can do that with sudo, it's not impossible. Someone gave you bad info. | 22:42 |
| leo_rockw | hydrogen: mine too: you don't like the program, don't use it, but don't complain | 22:42 |
| ubuntu | I thought windows is stupid was a statement... not like, a question or an opinion. | 22:42 |
| MilitantPotato | i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm and chose KDM, lets see if that works :) | 22:42 |
| hydrogen | ones free to have an opinion without 1000000 LOC to back it up. | 22:42 |
| hydrogen | and ones free to express that opinion | 22:42 |
| leo_rockw | hydrogen: not when you're complaining about someone's hard work | 22:42 |
| MilitantPotato | tilt: I'd think you'd need to build it if it's a source file | 22:42 |
| leo_rockw | if you complain to make things better, fine. if not, your complain is useless | 22:42 |
| ubuntu | Sooooo why is my drive considered "busy" by qtparted? | 22:42 |
| hlopez | Hi, anyone knows how to install Xmule? | 22:43 |
| hydrogen | leo_rockw: even if its useless (in your opinion) its still my (or whoevers) opinion | 22:43 |
| jpatrick | ubuntu: cos it's mounted? | 22:43 |
| tilt | MilitantPotato: ok and how i do that? | 22:43 |
| MilitantPotato | ubuntu chances are it's mounted | 22:43 |
| leo_rockw | hydrogen: then say "it doesn't work for me" | 22:43 |
| ubuntu | MilitantPotato: I tried umount -a | 22:43 |
| leo_rockw | hydrogen: that doesn't make the program stupid | 22:43 |
| MilitantPotato | !source | 22:43 |
| ubotu | You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html | 22:43 |
| hydrogen | leo_rockw: no, programs can be stupid and still work for me | 22:43 |
| MilitantPotato | hmm | 22:43 |
| ubuntu | MilitantPotato: nor do i see it when i do 'mount' | 22:43 |
| hydrogen | programs stupidity (how they are designed) is orthagonal to their functionality | 22:44 |

| nick_ | Hey everyone, I have been in and out of this chatroom a lot in the past week asking for help to all kinds of things. I just got kbuntu 3 weeks ago (only windows previously) and it has been a great experience, especially because you were all so friendly and helpful. Especially you ScorpKing, if you are here, you have been a great consistent help for almost every question I've asked and I fixed that internet problem I was having with a bit of a workaround. | 22:51 |
| nick_ | So, thanks again everyone | 22:51 |
| ardchoille | That is why I love this community ^^ | 22:53 |
| leo_rockw | nick_: the community needs more people like you | 22:54 |
| Agreken | do i have to configure anything special to access my external usb drive? | 22:54 |
| jjones | Agreken, no, it should be recognized when you plug it in... a dialog should pop up with options | 22:55 |
| Agreken | any suggestions if it doesn't? | 22:57 |
| jjones | hmm.. well, if it doesn't for me it usually means I plugged the sd card in upside down in my reader ;) | 22:57 |
| jjones | but I think I had an issue otherwise a while ago.. | 22:57 |
| MilitantPotato | tilt: no idea man, It's not working for me either. | 22:58 |
| smallfields | help, my kubuntu doesnt pass the login window, it always says my password is wrong, im sure its right... | 22:58 |
| jjones | Agreken, are you familiar with dmesg in the terminal? | 22:59 |
| === ubuntu is now known as FroggyTheGreat | ||
| FroggyTheGreat | So...How much space does 7.10 need? | 23:00 |
| BluesKaj | FroggyTheGreat, which install are using ? | 23:01 |
| BluesKaj | you | 23:01 |
| FroggyTheGreat | The standard Kubuntu 7.10 livecd. | 23:01 |
| jjones | Agreken, if you type dmesg at a terminal window right after you plug in the sd card it should give you some hints as to what is happening. | 23:01 |
| BluesKaj | FroggyTheGreat, and what kinds of apps do you intend to use | 23:01 |
| Agreken | ok, let me check that | 23:01 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Just general office and puttering-around stuff - no huge games or anything. | 23:02 |
| === jan-eike is now known as squish2 | ||
| lounge-about | anyone really familiar with dpkg? | 23:03 |
| BluesKaj | I'd give kubuntu , if you're into media and photos, mp3s etc at least a 20G partition...30Gwould be better if you intend to burn movies etc | 23:03 |
| BluesKaj | !dpkg | 23:03 |
| ubotu | dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. | 23:03 |
| lounge-about | im having a problem removing a package | 23:03 |
| FroggyTheGreat | I've got a 108gb drive. I'm going to mount /home on the partitiion left from whatever the system gets. | 23:04 |
| lounge-about | would it be ok if i pasted a small terminal output? | 23:04 |
| Agreken | jjones: it looks like everything is loading correctly. how do I navigate to it? | 23:04 |
| BluesKaj | FroggyTheGreat, you got lots then: :) | 23:04 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Basically, I can't find the "Minimum System Requirements" page and I'm looking around. | 23:04 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | lounge-about: general rule of thumb is: one or two lines is fine, more than that you should pastebin it | 23:05 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Looks like a 30gb system partition should be plenty then? | 23:05 |
| jjones | Agreken, it should be in /media/disk/ the dmesg might tell you where it was mounted otherwise.. /media/camera etc | 23:05 |
| Daisuke_Laptop | BluesKaj: 30gb for multimedia? i would have to delete about 400gb of stuff >_> | 23:05 |
| FroggyTheGreat | Basically, anything that I don't want destroyed if I have to wipe and reinstall is going on the non-system partition. | 23:06 |
| BluesKaj | Daisuke_Laptop, wasn't alking about storage , just a 'working' type partition...was assuming he was gonna dual boot with windows | 23:07 |
| jjones | Areken, dmesg just shows which device I guess.. sda sdb etc.. typing mount will sho you if it was mounted. | 23:07 |
| faires | !convert | 23:07 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about convert - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:07 |
| Agreken | jjones, it doesn't look like it ever mounts. it sees it, but no mount messages | 23:07 |
| jjones | Agreken, does /dev/sdb ( or whatever dmesg said it was) show up when you type mount? | 23:07 |
| Agreken | jjones, no, only /dev/sda1 | 23:08 |
| BluesKaj | faires, convert what ? | 23:08 |
| faires | BluesKaj: an mpeg-avi to 3gp | 23:08 |
| faires | (The cell phone format) | 23:08 |
| faires | I found ffmpeg | 23:09 |
| jjones | Agreken, dmesg showed the usb drive as sdb correct? | 23:09 |
| faires | But the adept install doesn't recognize .3gp support | 23:09 |
| faires | The adept install of ffmpeg, I mean | 23:09 |
| jjones | Agreken, if you type sudo pmount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk what happens? | 23:09 |
| Agreken | jjones, however, i see one that says "proc on /proc type proc" which is what the drive shows up as in System Settings | 23:09 |
| jjones | Agreken, hmm.. proc is another thing entirely ( you can see system process info there) | 23:10 |
| jjones | is there a udev on /dev line ? | 23:11 |
| Agreken | "pmount: command not found" | 23:11 |
| jjones | did you do sudo pmount? | 23:11 |
| Agreken | yes | 23:11 |
