[00:00] if it's motherboard then it's BIOS [00:00] BluesKaj it is not showing up in the k-menu [00:01] RdPB: in windows, did you have to do anything special to get it to work? [00:01] keith, not in utililties [00:01] RdPB: I'm trying to work out if it is software raid or hardware raid [00:02] when i install windows i press f10 and pass the driver of the motherboard [00:02] hmmm [00:02] RdPB: what motherboard? [00:02] MSI P965 platinum [00:02] nope not in the utilities Blueskaj [00:02] with fedora 8 and suse 10.3 its plays [00:02] RdPB: if I google for that, I bet I find it is fake raid :( [00:02] keith , try launching from the Konsole [00:03] I tried vmware and got a bash error that so no such command. [00:03] 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] BluesKaj I am not certain that I have it installed correctly. [00:03] right keith , i suspect that may be the case [00:03] RdPB: it doesn't show up in ubuntu though? [00:04] Can you help me get it installed correctly then blueskaj [00:04] no [00:04] when i run dmraid activate the raid [00:04] when i see with fdisk -l i see the disk and with raid and without [00:05] and when i try to install then its see many partions that are mapped [00:05] 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] RdPB: do you have a /dev/md0 ?

[00:07] 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] RdPB: is that sda the raid system? or just one of the hard disks? [00:07] urbmen: add the medibuntu repositories then sudo aptitude update and then sudo aptitude install w32codecs [00:08] RdPB: do you have a /dev/sda1 ? [00:08] 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] 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] sn00zer: and my comments let you know how [00:08] JohnFlux: can i post you to see it?

[00:35] Or launch it? [00:36] FroggyTheGreat: you need to edit /etc/default/915resolution to have the settings you want, then it starts at boot [00:37] FroggyTheGreat: or you can start it manually with "sudo /etc/init.d/915resolution restart" [00:37] Let's try that then [00:38] Ok, not installed. Lovely. [00:38] know offhand the apt-get package name? [00:38] "915resolution" ;) [00:38] wooga [00:38] i don't want to spam but anyone read my problem? [00:39] yan: if you have gutsy, setup a wired connection then go to system settings > advanced > restricted drivers [00:39] yan: and you need a module that correctly interfaces with it === ubuntu_ is now known as i00nsu === i00nsu is now known as i00nsu__ [00:41] "need to install the package linux-restricted-modules for this to work" [00:41] i uninstalled it cuz i have to install nvidia driver and they say to do that.. [00:42] you should use the packaged driver too [00:42] and you are going to need the restricted packages to get the wireless working [00:42] (i'm thinking it's a broadcom) [00:42] will installing that package will disturb my nvidia driver installed with envy? [00:43] eww, envy, BAD [00:43] !envy | yan [00:43] yan: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » [00:43] just use the restricted manager an prey envy hasn't broken anything [00:43] well.. it solved a lot of problem [00:44] pray* [00:44] heh, thanks WaltzingAlong [00:44] usually it steals from peter to pay paul [00:44] something strange here... i edit last boot rc.local with this line> sh /home/user/scripts/mount.user and the boot up stoped... now i am on live cd mode, started qtparted and i have two swap partitions... ":> what was wrong with the rc.local comand, and can i delete one of the swap partiions >? [00:44] looks like something works, it does even, but several other things are broken that show up later [00:44] i love kde xD [00:45] so i need to reinstall kubuntu ?

[00:45] yan: perhaps not. === ubuntu__ is now known as DreadKnight [00:46] 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] i should install restricted driver with apt-get or aptitude? [00:46] yan: either or [00:47] yan: but you can use the restricted manager to do it for you [00:47] stdin, /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_progress_report /home/kaj/kde/build/KDE/kdebase/CMakeFiles 100 [00:47] [100%] Built target krootimage [00:47] test [00:47] DreadKnight: faild [00:48] So 915resolution isn't finding the right resolution mode - it's not on the list.

[00:51] same [00:51] nothign found [00:51] do i have to reboot?

[00:56] i00nsu__: booted from the livecd? then you may wish to mount your local hd [00:56] yes [00:56] hm [00:57] i have mounted all partiotion and none of them is the real [00:57] i00nsu__: otherwise in the 'livecd' the hd that appears there is not your computer's hd [00:57] thats right [00:57] so _ [00:57] back [00:57] the reboot helped [00:57] led is flashing [00:57] iwconfig detect [00:58] now i have to set wpa.. going to google for it.. thanks again guys [00:58] great glad you got it going yan [00:59] i just hope nothing break cuz of envy [00:59] i need official nvidia driver, else i could not do dual screen... [00:59] 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] and the normal instal break xserver [00:59] only envy worked.. [00:59] yan, ok. or manual; and now restricted manager takes care of it [01:00] hi...does anyone knows if kaffeine supports .sub files? [01:00] but WaltzingAlong if i try to startup normaly i can go sleep and to boot is stoped in execution rc.local .. [01:00] Okay, 915resolution doesn't seem to find the right graphics mode I want - there aren't any widescreen modes listed. [01:01] m_tadeu: yes it does :) [01:01] 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 [01:02] I've got the xserver-xorg-video-i810 and xserver-xorg-video-intel packages installed -would they be conflicting? [01:02] the real is not here. WaltzingAlong it is not! sould i try mount /dev/ghost ? [01:02] 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 [01:03] i00nsu__: that is a trick in itself [01:03] Anyone know which driver I need to be using for my Intel 845 graphics card? [01:03] This worked before I upgraded to Gutsy, and I know it's a simple fix... [01:04] FroggyTheGreat: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto ? [01:04] FroggyTheGreat: or restricted manager takes care of it? [01:04] Restricted manager is what? [01:05] kmenu/system settings/advanced/restricted manager; ease the management of installing the restricted modules/drivers [01:06] thanks. [01:06] Says my hardware doesn't need restricted drivers. [01:07] oh well, I tried ..gonna take a break from the kde4 pursuit ..still on 3.58 so I dunno where to go from here, altho kde4 appeared to install , I see no evidence of it in the login [01:08] Nevertheless, it's either I get 1600x1200 and it's squished to fit into 16680x1050, or I get 1680x1050, but with a moveable 1024x768 viewport. [01:09] Does the fact that I have two xserver-xorg-video packages installed hurt me? [01:09] FroggyTheGreat: resolution is rarely a video driver problem... [01:09] Ok. [01:09] atleast from what I've seen. [01:09] Any ideas, then? [01:09] I've done all the software and config-file things I know to do.

[01:31] ignoramus: try checking the permissions of that specific file [01:31] !info k9copy | stacey [01:31] stacey: k9copy: DVD backup tool for KDE. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.1.3-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 1409 kB, installed size 2748 kB [01:31] stacey, that's not dvd copying... [01:31] m_tadeu: it seems to be all the files in my "Music" folder [01:32] right i'm looking for something thats similar to dvd xcopy in windows [01:32] ignoramus, but what are the permissions? [01:32] compress and copy for dvd movies [01:32] ignoramus: m_tadeu: yes my reply was typed when you mentioned about dolphin and ... well liked mentioned, may be other issues than just kdesu issues [01:32] raylu: for the folder? [01:32] !info k9copy | stacey, this is it [01:32] stacey, this is it: k9copy: DVD backup tool for KDE. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.1.3-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 1409 kB, installed size 2748 kB [01:32] !backups | stacey [01:32] stacey: There are many ways to back your system up.

[01:35] ignoramus: try "sudo chown +r *" in the folder [01:36] ignoramus: sorry "sudo chmod +r *" [01:36] it'd still help to know what it was before [01:37] if this is from a cd, his fstab might be messed uip [01:37] *up [01:37] m_tadeu: i have to "cd" to that folder in konsole, right? [01:37] How do I download a DEB from the repos? [01:37] I want aptoncd.DEB [01:37] ignoramus, yes, or chmod +r dir1/dir2/dir3/* [01:37] draik: aptitude download package [01:37] draik: you can navigate the repositories.. [01:37] WaltzingAlong: Thank you [01:37] nosrednaekim: How? Using what? [01:38] a web browser [01:38] draik: web browser/ [01:38] raylu: most probably, since files are RO in the dvd, they are copyed with those permissions [01:38] raylu: chmod: missing operand after `+r*' [01:38] nosrednaekim, afraid that's not working for me ..says kde-devel is an unknown user [01:38] draik: or browse to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ and so forth [01:38] ignoramus, there's a space after the r [01:38] aha [01:38] BluesKaj: did you creat the kde-devel user? [01:38] when [01:38] BluesKaj, then it looks like that ssh login will never pass [01:39] it asked me for a pw before i had a chance to create one [01:39] BluesKaj: didn't you create the user? [01:40] BluesKaj, sudo cat /etc/passwd | grep kde-devel [01:40] m_tadeu | raylu: the chmod +r * doesn't help [01:40] it never asked for a user [01:40] 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] ignoramus, what did it do/say? [01:41] 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? [01:42] raylu: it didn't say anything - just went to next command prompt [01:42] stacey: sometimes, running "kbuildsyscoca" helps [01:42] Does anyone know of any problems using Amaroq with a Creative Labs Zen Touch(tm)? [01:42] running it how?....sorry...noobish still [01:42] <[ka]killer> only problem ive had with mp3 players is my zune =( [01:42] ignoramus: but, is it still denying the overwrite? [01:42] i'm wondering if you are supposed to be allowed to overwrite files on HDD from disc [01:43] FroggyTheGreat: from what i;ve heard, zens work well. [01:43] anyone have azureus working with sun java on gutsy? [01:43] Cool. [01:43] m_tadeu: yes [01:43] 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] raylu: i know :/ [01:43] 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 [01:44] and/or you didn't sudo the command [01:44] ignoramus: can you type this under the folder "ls -la | grep damn_filename"? and paste the result here? [01:44] bah! , kde-devel is 3.5.8 ,not 4.0 :( [01:44] m_tadeu, you can actually ls a single file === qc is now known as ce_sexi === ce_sexi is now known as i [01:45] BluesKaj: eh? did you compile/install kde4? [01:45] raylu: :D you're right...bad habit [01:45] !pastebin [01:45] 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) [01:45] BluesKaj, wtf? did you compile the wrong version of kde? [01:45] <[ka]killer> im just waiting for the release of KDE4 [01:45] <[ka]killer> betas and me dont mix well >.> [01:46] m_tadeu: for some reason, it's telling me that file doesn't exist.... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44674/ [01:46] yeah nosrednaekim Iran the svn version install, but guess it din't install properly :( ...everything seemed ok after cmake and make ...had a few glitches that stdin helped me with bit it seemed fine [01:47] trying to upgrade adept wizard saying close adept and use the upgrade tool where is the upgrade tool ? [01:47] BluesKaj: oh... you need to make a kdm session entry. [01:47] ice9__, adept wizard? [01:47] BluesKaj: just a sec.// [01:47] ice9__: just click the button, it'll run automatically [01:47] ignoramus, when you use spaces, it thinks it's a new argument [01:48] I did click finish and nothing happened [01:48] 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] it verified the upgrade tool but still nothing [01:48] can't find it [01:48] can I do it by command line [01:48] raylu: but i can't if the filename has spaces? [01:48] ignoramus: it's because of the spaces...put the filename between "...ls -la | grep "Aerosmith - - Dream On.mp3" [01:48] ignoramus, you can by using quotations or "\ " [01:48] <[ka]killer> lol [01:49] again, ls -l Aero* [01:49] would probably be easier [01:49] ice9__: if you install "update-manager-core" you can do "sudo do-release-upgrade" [01:49] k [01:49] BluesKaj: http://nosrednaekim.wordpress.com/2007/11/10/kde4-or-bust-building-kde4/ [01:49] oh, that upgrade wizard.

[01:52] oh...that's your username [01:52] raylu: u got it [01:53] that's a ...lame username =\ [01:53] where is apt located [01:53] ice9__, apt the binary or it's configuration files? [01:53] raylu: that's just what I put to post here ;) [01:53] ./var/lib/apt [01:53] I dunno just says apt [01:53] ignoramus, oh. [01:53] ice [01:53] what says apt? [01:53] if you're looking for "apt," you're doing something wrong [01:54] python error [01:54] import error === Scotty_ is now known as Scotty [01:54] ok...mind pasting the output? [01:54] apt-get works just fine [01:54] ice9__: apt in that case is a python module [01:55] <[ka]killer> oyasuminasai [01:55] m_tadeu: crap! the "sudo chmod +w *" works! [01:55] ice9__: you many want to get the package "python-apt" === [ka]killer is now known as kak[ZzZ] [01:55] ignoramus: how... is... that.... crap? [01:55] ignoramus: :) [01:55] as in "oh crap! yes!" [01:55] already have it [01:55] :D [01:55] I could do an export but where is the apt located [01:55] can i do that to my home directory, or is that not advised? [01:56] not advised [01:56] that allows anyone to write to your home directory [01:56] raylu: i ask because i am the only user [01:56] is it var/lib/apt [01:56] still not a good idea. [01:56] or usr/lib/apt [01:56] raylu: gotcha... i mess enough stuff up [01:57] ice9__: no, neither ofthose places, and there isnot export command in python ;) [01:57] though it's unlikely that anything will harm a single-user system anyway. so...have you modified your fstab, ignoramus? [01:57] raylu: to what? [01:58] yes there is export PYTHONPATH={$PYTHONPATH}: [01:59] oh... that. well, I doubt that is your problem, but to test, try this... run "python" and then type in "import apt" [01:59] raylu: I think all files within the /home/user folder are writable....I see no problem on doing it [01:59] m_tadeu: i did it anyway ;) ... i like fixing stuff (with a little help, of course) [01:59] m_tadeu, it would set it for o [02:00] and nevermind about fstab [02:00] raylu: yeah, my drive works fine for now, so i dont plan on messing with the settings (its set to exec) [02:00] I did a fresh install of Kubuntu Gutsy on my friend's computer. [02:01] Why his DVD drive won't work is beyond me. [02:01] Also, his computer fails to go online when I hook it up to my network. [02:01] nope don't have apt [02:01] wierd [02:01] draik: did you install with the same dvd drive? [02:01] The gateway doesn't stick [02:01] I do have python-apt [02:01] though [02:01] thanks all- time to get drinks now! Cheers! [02:01] if a dvd doesn't auto-mount, is there a way to force it to? [02:02] nosrednaekim: The DVD didn't change. Besides, it didn't work with Feisty. This is a fresh install. I nuked the HDD and paved it with Gutsy. [02:02] ice9__: my system says apt can be found under sun-jave5-sdk.... [02:02] Aresilek: try "sudo mount /dev/cdrom" [02:02] thx nosrednaekim [02:02] apt is in java [02:02] really [02:02] Aresilek: actually its.. "sudo mount /dev/cdrom /mnt"... sorry [02:03] draik: is it a SATA dvd drive? [02:03] ice9__: kinda weird, but...it's what it shows up here [02:03] nosrednaekim: Nope. IDE. [02:03] nosrednaekim: and if i already did teh first one then what? [02:03] draik: weird [02:03] nosrednaekim: But it wants to go to /dev/scd1 [02:04] I'm about ready to do a new install [02:04] The program 'apt' can be found in the following packages: [02:04] * sun-java5-jdk === [1]Netham45 is now known as Netham45 [02:04] hmmm, nvm mind it worked [02:04] Aresilek: if the first one didn't return any errors,that works too :D [02:04] m_tadeu: the "apt" we are talking aout is not exactly a program [02:04] nosrednaekim: it worked thanks [02:04] XD [02:05] nosrednaekim: trying to mount the DVD drive results in "wrong fs type..." it's set to Automatic [02:05] nosrednaekim: oh, sorry then :P [02:05] nosrednaekim: and to unmount what do i do? 'sudo umount /dev/cdrom'? [02:05] draik: try "eject /dev/scd1" [02:05] Aresilek: Yes [02:06] nosrednaekim: sudo? [02:06] nosrednaekim, the kwrite export KDEHOME=~/.kde4, can't be saved [02:06] draik: maybe.. [02:06] draik: thx [02:06] BluesKaj: oh... did you run it with kdesudo? [02:06] nosrednaekim: Nope. Wasn't needed. It ejected the DVD in the DVD drive [02:07] draik: it means it detects the hardware.. [02:07] BluesKaj: oh.... Never mind... just a second [02:08] BluesKaj: saves for me here... [02:09] I'm using the run command , [02:09] BluesKaj: oh... no, run that command from within the ssh terminal. [02:09] nosrednaekim: What do you suggest now? [02:09] draik: what type of dvd did you put in? [02:10] draik: data or a movie? [02:10] nosrednaekim: Data; APTonCD results. [02:10] nosrednaekim, nope, can't save it ..."not possible to write to the file" [02:10] either way [02:11] huh..... did kwrite look any different? [02:11] like did it look kde4ish? [02:12] dunno, looked the same to me ...din't see any diff [02:12] python-apt is located at /usr/share/python-apt [02:12] does that seem right [02:12] hello, what is the preferred foreign input method? [02:12] but I export pythonpath for /usr/share/python-apt [02:12] 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] i used kde-devel instead of kde-test [02:13] I have some trouble on using skim [02:13] ice9__: thats not where it is kept.. [02:13] where is it kept then [02:13] BluesKaj: right. [02:13] cause I can't find it [02:13] ice9__: I shall check [02:13] thanks [02:13] nosrednaekim: When I insert the DVD it doesn't load the queue for an action. [02:14] draik: hmmm, try another dvd.. [02:14] nosrednaekim: DVD or data? [02:15] draik: either. [02:15] ice9__: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/apt [02:15] all I have is AptSources [02:15] hmm [02:15] ice9__: and/or /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/apt [02:15] nosrednaekim: DVD is closest. [02:16] and that is python-apt correct [02:16] hmm .. cd .kde4/share/apps: No such file or directory [02:16] or is it something different [02:16] nosrednaekim: Well, it loaded the prompt for action, but when I try Kaffeine, I am told insufficient rights [02:16] BluesKaj: you can skip all of those steps since you aren't loging in as yourself, but as a separate user [02:17] draik: ah.. good.! [02:17] draik: now try a data cd. [02:17] *dvd [02:17] nosrednaekim: Hmmm? DVD or data? [02:17] data DVD [02:18] :D [02:21] man I just don't have that dir [02:21] how can I install it [02:21] ice9__: "apt-get install python-apt" [02:21] or can you just send it to me via email ? [02:21] I did [02:21] nah. [02:21] and it says its installed? [02:21] but its not there [02:21] yep [02:21] can you make me a copy and send it to my email [02:22] nosrednaekim: Nothing. No prompt for action [02:22] Reading package lists... Done [02:22] Building dependency tree [02:22] Reading state information... Done [02:22] ice9__: try removing that package and reinstalling it [02:23] k [02:23] draik: thats odd, since it seems to be working. [02:23] draik: check you fstab and see what permissions ou gave your cd drive [02:23] 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 [02:24] heh, kde-devel didn't pick up any of my settings ... what a PITA :( [02:24] got it sweet [02:24] wired I trid that before [02:24] BluesKaj: of course it didn't... its a new directory [02:25] *user [02:25] gonna dump it if possible , not going thru setting everything up again [02:25] nosrednaekim: How do I check the fstab? [02:25] BluesKaj: just cpy your currect /home over [02:25] what the package you need for do-release-upgradde [02:25] what the package you need for do-release-upgrade [02:26] sudo cp -R /home/Blueskaj /home/kde-devel [02:26] ice9__: no clue [02:26] !fstab [02:26] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system.

[02:29] MilitantPotato: first, your first question... go to system settings-> advanced-> session manager [02:31] nosrednaekim: thanks, I disabled restore prev. session. [02:33] Any idea about the adept and synaptic deal? [02:34] MilitantPotato: no... not really, I've just noticed it. [02:34] hmm [02:34] kate, gedit, what's another editor? [02:35] kwrite [02:35] vim [02:35] emacs [02:35] kdesu right?

[02:41] try "gksu" [02:41] it wasn't working for me either kdesu or sudo worked but not kdesudo [02:43] gksu(do) works fine aswell. [02:44] i think i may have asked this before, but is there any way to disable the scroll thingys on the intergrated track pad? === rob__ is now known as Zombocom [02:44] hey [02:45] nosrednaekim: rebooted and still get XINE plugin errors Kaffeine cannot play DVD [02:45] <_< [02:45] nosrednaekim: Putting in a data DVD does nothing. Not even mount. [02:45] hmph.... I really don't have an idea [02:46] maybe look at the output of dmesg [02:46] wait [02:46] draik, install libdvdcss2 [02:46] BluesKaj: did you manage to kdesudo working? [02:46] BluesKaj: It is. [02:46] are you sure the drive is dvd compatible? [02:46] Zombocom: Yes. It's a DVD Burner. I would hope so :) [02:46] kk [02:46] MilitantPotato, I'm not too concerned ...use sudo in the shell and kdesu in the run command [02:46] sorry [02:47] Zombocom: It's all good. You didn't know. [02:47] so my K menu for administrative stuff is going to remain broken? [02:47] Aresilek- if so, it should be in ksynaptics [02:48] 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] Hello [02:49] why is strigi weak [02:49] anyone have a solution? [02:50] 007-11-15 20:47:49,665 ERROR pre-requists item 'http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/r/release-upgrader-dpkg/release-upgrader-dpkg_1.14.5ubuntu11.2_i386.udeb' is NOT trusted [02:50] wtf [02:50] i have finally got a download of gutsy. I am pondering upgrade tactics. Wipe clean and new install or using the upgrade wizard this time? got some recommended reading? [02:50] Drtux: strigi pisses me off to no end [02:50] not trusted [02:50] missing a key :) [02:50] happens everytime I try to upgrade [02:51] what key am I missing [02:51] I don't understand strigi ...itdoesn't do anything for me ...I prefer to use locate: in the konq addressbar [02:51] locate: is still there? [02:51] sweet [02:51] 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 [02:52] ardchoille: where can I find that out? [02:53] ardchoille: I tried google but I didn't come up with anything other than the nautilus instructions [02:53] Zombocom: I found it, tested and it works :) [02:53] Zombocom: Open kcontrol and I'll guide you trhu it [02:54] k [02:54] Zombocom: Go to Desktop > Behavior [02:54] alright? [02:54] Zombocom: second checkbox "Allow programs in desktop window" check it [02:55] apply? [02:55] yes [02:55] well for somereason the wacom device in xorg was uncommented, removed those, now to sort out why kdesudo doesn't work. [02:56] 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] ardchoille: what next [02:56] Zombocom: You should then see the screensaver as your desktop wallpaper [02:57] Zombocom: Keep in mind that some of the screensavers will eat up a lot of your CPU [02:57] What can I do to get the DVD player to see my data DVD? I want to get some apps installed [02:58] ardchoille: I don't have a directory called /usr/lib/xscreensaver [02:59] Zombocom: Holf on.. [03:00] Zombocom: I'm not sure which package I installed provides it, maybe kdeartwork [03:00] does anyone else have a problem with the tap to click settings being saved [03:01] Zombocom: That's not it, still looking for it.. [03:01] ardchoille: thank you [03:03] does anyone else have a problem with the tap to click settings being saved [03:04] Hmm. What's an easy way to uninstall GNOME? [03:04] Zombocom: I don't remember which package provides is, but you can onstall xscreensaver and xscreensaver-data and get all the screensavers [03:05] ardchoille: I think it's just in /usr/bin [03:06] ardchoille: because I checked the kscreensaver thing and it said that [03:06] does anyone else in here use ksynaptics? [03:06] Zombocom: That may be the binaryitself, but testing here with "/usr/lib/xscreensaver/galaxy -root" works great [03:07] any of you guys notice that since installing Ubuntu on a laptop, that the screen is not as bright as it was in XP? [03:07] kububuntu [03:07] no joy..kde4 won't start ...some error reverts back to 3.5.8 ...dunno what kde-devel is supposed to do but i seems like a seperate desktop altogether ...anyway , now I'm stuck with 2 extra destops that don't work , it seems [03:07] Zombocom: Try: find /usr -name xscreensaver [03:07] Any pointers on completely uninstalling Gnome? [03:08] my kubuntu is just as bright as vista i just had to turn the brightness up with keyboard shortcuts [03:08] hmmmmm === litbang is now known as riefzu [03:09] whats the keyboard shortcut.. just Fn -> [03:09] Fn+ the brightness key, mine are blue keys [03:09] looks like a sun [03:09] yeah, you on an acer laptop? [03:09] yes [03:09] me too [03:09] aspire 5610z [03:09] when i run aptitude it wants to uninstall all my kde programs but i still use them, how do i fix this? [03:10] hold down the fn key and brightness key at the same time [03:10] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44678/ [03:10] So if I were to select all GNOME packages in Adept and "Request Purging", is that a bad idea? [03:10] yeah i have it as high as it goes [03:10] huh, do you have it on powersave? [03:10] or a dark theme? [03:10] Gutsy Gibbon install had some errors halfway, and then tried again and gutsy doesn't recognize my wifi card. (i am currently on a windows machine) decided to install Dapper Drake, but it can't recognize my wifi card, waiting to see if Feisty Fawn CD is found and install that. [03:10] no, theme is not dark [03:11] powersave.. dunno [03:11] what model do you have? [03:11] 9300-5024 [03:12] when I try to run kdesu(do) i get the following: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server, Xlib: No protocol specified, kate: cannot connect to X server :0.0 [03:13] any ideas on my aptitude problem? [03:14] ardchoille: Hello. How are you? [03:15] Hi draik :) [03:17] ardchoille: what is it that the command does [03:17] Zombocom: that command runs the selected screensaver in the root window [03:18] ohkay [03:18] so If I knew where the screensaver was [03:18] I could modify the command? [03:18] Zombocom: Try: find /usr -name xscreensaver [03:18] it doesn't return anything [03:18] Zombocom: Yes, the galaxy screensaver even has a man page [03:18] locate: xscreensaver [03:19] Zombocom: Did you update the slocate database before using locate? [03:19] I fixed it, :) xhost +local: [03:19] locate: returns stuff [03:19] find doesn't [03:19] BluesKaj: xhost +local:username worked for me. [03:20] Zombocom: ok, use the path/screensaver with the -root option [03:22] ok [03:25] damn never going to be able to upgrade to gusty [03:25] lol [03:25] now getting source not trusted [03:25] wth [03:25] ice9 are you on feisty? [03:25] yes [03:26] !repositories [03:26] The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu [03:26] should I add those [03:26] nah [03:26] was reading it :) [03:27] k [03:28] great time for ubuntu wiki to be down :) [03:28] oh wait there's a command [03:28] MilitantPotato: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ works here [03:29] http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty [03:29] does that? [03:29] I don't get that manage-repos window to pop up either [03:29] and yes I do have software-properties-kde installed [03:30] there's a command to re-install the default repos [03:30] MilitantPotato: Oh, I thought you meant *the* ubuntu wiki [03:30] i just can't remember it.

[03:33] Zombocom: Those are .desktop files, not the screensavers themselves. you can open a .desktop file in kate and look at the "Exec" command to see what the .desktop file actually launches [03:34] ardchoille, I've decided against trying to use kde4 since it's broken ..and I'd like to free the space it uses on the hdd ...got any advice how to uninstall it ? [03:35] BluesKaj: Sorry, no. === rob1 is now known as rob [03:35] install something that conflicts with it and pray? :) [03:35] I don't use beta apps unless they come installed with the system.. learned my lesson before. [03:35] stdin, you still around ? [03:35] tired, but still here [03:36] yeah, my kde4 install is broken and i domn't feel much like fighting to make it work... what's the uninstall procedure [03:37] nope same untrusted error [03:37] BluesKaj: it's just "rm -rf /place/I/installed/kde4/to" [03:37] is it pulling it from another sources.list maybe [03:37] hehe stdin [03:37] ardchoille: am I looking for the file that the kss file actually executes? [03:37] I mean [03:37] .desktop file launches a .kss file [03:39] Does that work on the desktop? [03:39] hi, I need some help [03:39] wait [03:39] so I run the command -root? [03:39] there is a prerequists-sources.list [03:39] in sources.list.d [03:39] i try to install flash player 9 in koqueror [03:40] can I change the name [03:40] Zombocom: No, you run: /path/screensaver --root [03:40] you think that might work better [03:40] Zombocom: No, you run: /path/screensaver -root [03:41] so I type in /path/screensaver -root as in the path to the file containing the screensaver? [03:42] Zombocom: That should work [03:42] k [03:42] can you delete sources.list.d ? [03:43] ice9__: Why would you want to do that? [03:43] cause thats were the prerequists for the repos are [03:44] and thats the error I am getting when upgrading to gusty [03:44] ice9__: My /etc/apt/sources.list.d is empty, most of your sources are in the /etc/apt/sources.list file [03:44] no trusted sources [03:46] how to get LaTek? [03:46] I ran it [03:46] apt-cache search latek [03:46] and it appears that the screensaver isn't running [03:47] then apt-get install [03:47] Getting upgrade prerequisites failed [03:47] The system was unable to get the prerequisites for the upgrade.

How do I set from which one my machine will find grub at boot-up? [04:10] (i also have a WinXP partition...) [04:10] maybe i should call that two kubuntu installations [04:11] they share a third /home partition but have separate /boot directories [04:12] what's the easiest way to get s-video out working on kubuntu so i can stream stuff to my tc? [04:12] tv* [04:12] 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] i seem to be running gutsy with the feisty kernel right now [04:12] ...

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? [04:37] Is there a fusion-icon package hiding somewhere in my apt tree? Or an equivalent handy tool for switching wms and decorators? [04:37] how do I delete root's trash? [04:38] heyas [04:38] ive got some kicker issues [04:39] Can you install internet explorer in kubuntu? [04:39] as in .. its not coming up. and when i alt+f2 and type kicker, kicker comes up but task area on the right is garbled [04:39] SudoKing: sure, just run ies4linux === DeadJones is now known as \dEAD [04:39] <\dEAD> why would you want to put IE on kubuntu? [04:39] no no just kidding === john__ is now known as jagcorvair [04:39] Can someone tell me why this stupid live cd wont let me unmount my partitions? I need to mess with them. [04:39] <\dEAD> live cd is just a taste [04:39] I just wonderhed how biased M$ was.. [04:39] qtparted wont even let me resize one [04:39] ubuntu_: and the error is... [04:39] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44680/ [04:40] <\dEAD> you 'probably' could put IE on but its a waste of time and resource [04:40] Tm_T: No error. it just doesnt have an option in qtparted to unmount [04:40] SudoKing: don't troll [04:40] Can someone please take a look at the error messages I received from trying to watch a DVD with Kaffeine [04:40] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44680/ [04:40] ubuntu_: then umount in konsole [04:40] I didn't know wthat was trolling... [04:40] Tm_T: It doesnt show on mount -l [04:40] Tm_T: Or maybe i just dont know how [04:41] jagcorvair: does it work if you start kaffeine with "kdesu kaffeine"? [04:41] ubuntu_: mount alone should list enough [04:41] ubuntu_: if not, it's not mounted [04:41] Tm_T: It only lists proc, tmpfs, devpts, udev and varrun [04:41] ubuntu_: then no mounted [04:41] * BluesKaj wonders what fascination ppl have with IE , never understood that :) [04:41] Tm_T: Then how come qt part ed won't allow me to resize one of my partitions? [04:41] ubuntu_: no idea [04:42] *sigh* [04:42] wow, this is ridiculous === linuxwizard_ is now known as linuxwizard [04:42] if i apt-get on a live, where does it save to? [04:42] * ubunturos wonders if apt-get on live, makes sense? [04:42] 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... [04:43] because gparted > qtparted [04:43] ubunturos: Yes, e.g. for testing an application not included on the cd or having a need for a newer version. [04:43] is it standard practice in gutsy that my root partition is not visible in /etc/mtab? [04:44] or do i have some kind of problem with the installation? [04:44] heinkel_111: latter [04:44] yes [04:44] it appeared rather strange [04:44] Hirvinen, konq can be set to act like IE [04:44] This is bad. QTParted won't let me resize my old linux partition..... [04:44] MarcC: No. It actually crashed after I got the same error message. [04:44] BluesKaj: doesn't render like IE though [04:44] but this IE discussion is offtopic [04:45] BluesKaj: To report itself as IE, yes. To behave like it, no. [04:45] Yup. [04:45] ubuntu_ , try gparted live cd ..DL and burn it , it's very effective and easy to use [04:45] ubuntu_ is you old linux partition possible to resize then? you can only grow the partition if there is free space [04:45] right next to it [04:45] heinkel_111: I know [04:45] jagcorvair: and it doesn't play in other media players like VLC? [04:46] *sigh* now QTParted wont even load... cya guys [04:46] anyway it's sacktime here [04:46] nite folks [04:46] ubuntu_: Try gparted, I hear it's better than Qtparted. [04:47] ahhh, tried 1394 video capture on the dell ubuntu laptop today, first time....worked a charm [04:47] MarcC: This is a new install. I have covered the basics, but I will keep trying. "sudo apt-get install vlc' right? [04:48] myraiskool@hotmail.com [04:48] jagcorvair: jep, proabably [04:48] 0_o [04:48] ?? [04:48] who r u??

[04:50] also, how do I enable desktop effects? [04:50] jagcorvair: I would think that's normal with a DVD :-/ [04:51] MarcC: Ok. But why can't it play at all? [04:51] jagcorvair: did you do the CSS magic? [04:51] MarcC: CSS magic? [04:52] MarcC: sudo apt-get install libdvdcss2 [04:52] MarcC: Is that it? [04:52] jagcorvair: I did it through automatix...I don't recall the libdvdcss2 thing doing it for me [04:52] MarcC: Do tell...... [04:53] MarcC: What is automatix? [04:53] jagcorvair: http://getautomatix.com [04:53] Automatix is a fantastic way to break upgrades. [04:53] just a quick setup utility for common stuff...but some say it's not kosher [04:54] 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] MarcC: What do you mean? What does automatix do? [04:55] 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] some would say* [04:55] if you read* [04:55] jagcorvair: just read their FAQ...I think it breaks down most of the issues [04:55] I think you can also remove whatever it installs through the same interface, but I haven't tried that [04:56] I'm not sure how current most of the complaints/problems are [04:56] ^^ complaints on matthew's blog [04:57] 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] There's no problem at all with Xgl under gnome. [04:58] posingaspopular: yeah, I read that before, but I'm not sure if they haven't addressed those issues since...august [04:58] not to defend them or anything :( [04:59] hi there - dumb lille konqueror question - I made some modifications a long time ago using the instructions here: http://wiki.kde.org/tiki-index.php?page=Hidden%20configuration - but I want to turn everything to defaults again - any ideas how?

[05:02] control panel [05:02] appearance -> fonts I think [05:02] found it [05:02] heh [05:02] the funny thing is [05:03] automatix is going to be integrated with ubuntu proper in hardy [05:03] Hmm . . . [05:03] No KDE sounds seem to be playing [05:03] arts is running [05:03] sound works in gnome [05:04] hydrogen: where do you have that info from? [05:04] the blueprints [05:04] for hardy [05:04] ... i thought automatix and ubuntu hated each other? or is that old news? [05:05] they dont *hate* eachother. [05:05] ubuntu just thinks automatix breaks ubuntu. [05:05] and it does.

Nothing seems to work :( [05:36] What's the metapackage for kde4 again>? [05:43] 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? [05:44] it's because there is no theme set for root [05:45] keith-: there doesn't have to be [05:45] keith-: that's the point of kdesudo in gutsy [05:45] i've never had it use my theme or font even with kdesudo... [05:45] keith-: adept should adapt the user kde preferences of look&feel [05:46] keith-: it did for me after, but now it doesn't after the last system update [05:46] keith-: err, scratch that extra "after" [05:47] hmm odd... check bugreports?

[06:10] i dont expect it to, i just expect it to atleast run the driver [06:10] Not sure if its using mesa or not. it is using the fglrx driver. [06:11] try fglrxinfo on yours [06:11] tell me if yours works [06:11] The laptop is not handy. :) let me go plug it in downstairs. [06:11] oh ok [06:11] thanks for that too!

[06:13] hmm [06:13] or try runnin sudo restricted-manager [06:14] actually I though the first time ya booted up - it asked even. :) [06:14] so i should run restricted driversS??/ [06:15] i should reboot === m4st3r is now known as bless09 [06:15] All the restricted-manager tool does - Is install the actual ATI fglrx drivers and others your system may need [06:15] so [06:15] lets see what the wiki says [06:15] !ati [06:15] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:15] msg nickserv set email dandelion1773@hanmail.net [06:16] use status screenf or that [06:16] for [06:16] never issue nickerv/chanserv commands in a chat [06:17] bless09: you need to /msg [06:17] sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic restricted-manager-kde [06:17] Open the restricted drivers manager from KMenu → System Settings → Advanced → Restricted Drivers and select "ATI accelerated graphics driver".

[06:27] rockets: but they're a little buggy. [06:28] pacman, whatever for? [06:28] barkah: use chown [06:28] what is chown? [06:28] type man chown into console to learn how to use it :) [06:28] it changes file permissions [06:28] When mounting a vfat partition you MUST use the proper options to set the permissions. [06:28] ah that too [06:28] you dont 'chown' vfat mount points, or files on a fat partition [06:29] you don't? [06:29] ok, i'll try [06:29] the umask=0002 is a common optiuon when mounting them [06:29] Ah sorry, thanks for correcting me. [06:29] MilitantPotato, you can try.. :) it wont do anything.

[06:31] wb [06:32] !factoids [06:32] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [06:33] 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 [06:34] Hmm.. that advant-window-navagiator thing.. looks nice.. but cant get it to show up on the Correct Monitor.. heh heh.. [06:35] !umask [06:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about umask - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:35] !ntfs [06:36] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [06:36] the ntfs/vfat guides show examples of using the umask optuon in the fstab file [06:36] Anybody have any reccomendations for making Kopete less ugly? [06:36] thanks willis [06:38] Hmm I can't seem to find a KDE cpu frequency monitoring applet [06:39] have you logged out and back in after installing it? [06:39] rockets: what's wrong with kopete? you could ask in #kopete [06:39] bazhang: its ugly as hell. [06:39] rockets: get emerald :) [06:40] eh? [06:40] rockets: not really a support channel issue--I like the way it looks [06:40] i hate how pidgin looks. kopete is awesome [06:40] II hate how kopete looks, pidgin is awesome. [06:40] ;-P [06:40] my composite manager failed now [06:40] lol [06:40] if you like gtk, use ubuntu [06:40] I do, usually. [06:41] I can't stand the way Qt looks, its so cluttered. I just like fooling with KDE sometimes. [06:41] raylu: i like firefox, should i stop using kubuntu? [06:41] rockets: have you looked configurations? [06:41] what does "looked configurations" mean [06:41] Daisuke-Ido, eh? it's neither qt nor gtk, right? [06:42] raylu: Firefox is GTK [06:42] http://pastebin.com/m404f64c0 [06:42] rockets: look settings, twice [06:42] whats that mean [06:42] o.0 [06:42] "look settings"? [06:42] I'm going to guess that english is not your first language and that you're asking me to look AT configurations. [06:43] Rukus: what driver and card? [06:43] o.0, he's a kde dev [06:43] ATI xpress200m fglrx. just rebooted into restricted drivers [06:43] and enabled fglrx driver [06:44] raylu: it uses gtk [06:44] GTK + XUL [06:44] 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] i see [06:44] Where is the Kubuntu gui for enabling effects btw [06:44] rockets, there is none :D [06:44] Rukus: on gutsy it should run XGL without any configuration, on feisty it requires some scripts. [06:45] ohhhh [06:45] so al li need to do i install xgl-server to correct this? [06:45] yep [06:45] ok thanks man [06:45] hopefully. [06:45] :) [06:45] raylu: not quite so; none by default--but easily installed [06:46] right [06:46] but there's no gui for enabling them :D [06:46] it does mention enabling composite, but I seem to remember composite made compiz stop working for me on the old ATI drivers. [06:46] raylu: oh. great. [06:47] xserver-xgl rather [06:47] well we'll see [06:47] i'm not running compix at the moment, i'm done with botching my ssystem for now [06:47] i just want it to work now [06:48] compiz to work? [06:48] no my video card [06:48] i just got it back to normal res from 640x480 [06:48] ok bbl [06:48] restarting X-server [06:50] 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 ? [06:51] ok everything seems to work now [06:51] altho a lil slow [06:51] gorlak: you mean to have a backup of everything you have ever installed?

[06:54] not just the applications, being kept when it upgrades but everything in my home dir too [06:54] gorlak: not sure about windows--never touch the stuff :} back up your home folder, then use aptoncd for the rest [06:55] I find its often much cleaner to just backup your home dir. (or keep it on its own partition) and do clean reinstalls [06:56] 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] gorlak: you can upgrade from the CD, but a fresh install is the best way to go. [06:56] i see [06:56] Dr_willis_: excellent point--but I always forget to do that--will remember next time :} [06:56] MilitantPotato: it's best way to go by who? [06:57] gorlak: try upgrading if you have nothing to lose [06:57] 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] 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] i already have my homedir backed up, in a way.

[07:44] no this is fine [07:44] I was wonder about a site with such a thing. [07:45] Harahu: one kind of, packages.ubuntu.com [07:46] So there are are costomible downlaods? [07:46] *costomizeble [07:46] well, when you have installed Kubuntu, you can install ~whatever you like in it from package repositories [07:46] wow [07:46] this is so awesome [07:46] cool. [07:47] * Harahu is 17% into a Kubuntu DL [07:49] Does anyone here know if the ISP wildblue works with Kubuntu? [07:50] or more accurately if their modems do? [07:52] is it a cable modem? dsl modem?

[08:02] hehe [08:02] of course--I thought you were off to install--sorry! :} [08:02] * Harahu has been wanting to join another chatroom. [08:03] #kubuntu-offtopic is nice [08:03] I have somewhat strange question. [08:05] 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? [08:06] kmenu--like in os x? [08:06] So I can pick more then one program at a time. [08:07] 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. [08:08] I see. [08:09] Does anyone have a fix for Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server [08:09] Harahu: That gives some of the benifits of what you are sugesting. [08:09] yes. [08:09] I'm having to run after every login but it keeps breaking my xorg.conf [08:11] I can't run kdesudo untill I've run that command, but gksudo works fine. [08:15] anyone? [08:16] brb [08:16] Hmm, it's strange that kubuntu be so quiet... [08:17] Does Kubuntu have good tablet PC support. (my current PC is a non-tablet laptop. but I want to get one.) [08:23] yo yo yo [08:24] Hello. [08:24] moin [08:25] does anyone know how big is the basic install of kubuntu is? [08:26] as big as large xp install would imho [08:27] less than 4GB iirc [08:27] on the desktop installer it says minimum2gb recomended 4gb ActionParsnip [08:28] se7en: dave? [08:28] ActionParsnip: dave? [08:28] se7en: does the name shadoweater mean anything to you, maybe on yahoo? [08:28] hmm, someone knows program to list last edited files in kde? [08:28] 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. [08:29] ActionParsnip: nop sorry [08:29] se7en: I had an old mate who had the same/similar screen name to yours [08:29] se7en: oh well === perpustakaan is now known as dony [08:30] Is there a way to choose apps to install / not install? [08:31] i can uninstall when it is in but figured it'd be more graceful [08:31] not at this point in time [08:31] unless you do the minimal install [08:32] bazhang: does minimal give me X? [08:32] if you want it :} [08:32] ok cool [08:33] just trying to maximise storage as the system is to be a NAS [08:46] oh by the way this is the thing https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyGibbon/Beta/Kubuntu?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=color.png I was talking about. [08:47] Harahu: which bit? [08:47] Harahu: do you mean Adept? [08:48] 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. [08:49] "Adept", I am unfamiliar with this term. [08:49] Harahu: so you want the startbar to give a folder view of the apps under each section [08:51] Harahu: so you can click "system" and folder with Adept, Dolphin, kbluetooth etc pops up? [08:52] 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] hi eyi have trouble with 3 D cube [08:52] i cant zoom out it [08:53] Harahu: if you right click the menubar does it say open? I'm at work on an XP lappy at the moment so I cant investigate [08:53] I am weird and I become annoyed when it closes in windows. [08:54] oh my, I never in my life new you could do that.

[08:55] mikedomo: not sure. let me google [08:56] (note I am still run WinXP, the Kubuntu is not Dled yet) [08:57] Harahu: can you add to what you now see?

Should be ok [09:32] it's working now [09:32] pacman: or google for upgrade to gutsy [09:32] pacman: awesome :D [09:33] is wlassistant not available anymore? [09:33] or do I need to enable other repositories [09:37] pacman: not sure man. just wait and see what you get after the update and go from there [09:37] it's done? [09:37] that's it? === admini is now known as asasasssss [09:38] pacman: yeah pretty much [09:39] that was fast [09:39] thought it was gonna take an hour [09:40] pacman: depends what apps you have installed [09:40] I didn't have anything [09:41] I literally just hooked up my new HD and installed 7.06 onto it [09:41] then installed everything in that link [09:41] pacman: then you have very little to update [09:42] hmm [09:45] pacman: try a system reboot to test [09:45] okay, brb [09:46] 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. [09:49] .Xauthority should be owned by me right? [09:49] MilitantPotato: yes [09:49] Awsome. [09:49] That was a huge headache. [09:50] somehow it was owned by root, so kdesudo aswell as the majority of the things in the K menu wouldn't load. [09:50] i had to use sudo and gksudo to open them [09:50] MilitantPotato: NEVER use sudo and gui apps. [09:50] MilitantPotato: sudo chown should help :) [09:51] ActionParsnip: that's exactly what I did, worked like a charm [09:51] timri: yea, never do, not sure why I mentioned sudo [09:51] MilitantPotato: Anyway, you should probably also sudo chown 0600 .Xauthority [09:51] ActionParsnip: I'm back [09:51] instead of chown jason:jason ? [09:51] MilitantPotato: No, that also [09:51] will do. [09:52] pacman: all good? [09:52] timri: why not use sudo for gui apps? [09:52] I guess...how do I tell which version I'm on? [09:52] Something about GUI aps needing access to the X server [09:53] ActionParsnip: It can mess up the ownership of some of your configfiles [09:53] how would I make sure all the files in my home directory are properly owned by me? [09:54] I ran sudo chown -hR jason:jason /home/jason [09:54] is that enough? [09:54] pacman: cat /etc/issue [09:54] pacman: ? [09:54] MilitantPotato: Thats a very bad idea [09:54] hmm, still 7.04 [09:54] Argh. [09:55] timri: bad enough I should re-install? [09:56] MilitantPotato: Nah, but you might run into minor security problems. Like adept_managerrc should be root.root [09:56] MilitantPotato: That one is in ~/.kde/share/config btw [09:56] pacman: googling...sec [09:57] I don't have that file [09:57] have adept_installerrc [09:57] MilitantPotato: Well, of course not, or you would not have been able to take ownership :) [09:57] pacman $ kdesu update-manager -c [09:58] MilitantPotato: Thought of that just a little too late :) [09:58] hello [09:59] timri: any other files I should de-own? [09:59] One sec. [09:59] 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) [10:00] What does CLI stand for? [10:01] I just sprayed my g/f's ass with a can of compressed air [10:02] MilitantPotato: command line interface [10:02] ubotu: !adept fix [10:02] pacman: i gave my wife a scar from compressed air, frost bit her. [10:02] 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 » [10:03] Needless to say I never play with compressed air around her :( [10:03] processing... [10:03] Help! i just installed kubuntu 7.10 and am stuck at 640x480,,,, how do i change to 1024x768? [10:04] timri: I hope my request wasn't to much of a pain [10:04] 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] it does warn against frostbite [10:04] MilitantPotato: not at all, just found out I had mounted some samba shares under ~, so grep takes a while :) [10:05] jamesarthur: it may help to provide /var/log/Xorg.0.log and /etc/X11/xorg.conf to !pastebin [10:05] MilitantPotato: Anyway, it looks like I exaggerated when I said "very bad idea", sorry lead you on a wild goose chase :) [10:05] 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] Warning labels, bah [10:05] BenjaminD: sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg [10:05] jamesarthur: you could run, in konsole, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh to reconfigure X [10:06] whoa wrong guy [10:06] WaltzingAlong: thanks i hope :) [10:07] 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] BenjaminD: xserver-xgl is the package you'd need. [10:07] 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] i had it working on ubuntu with ATI fglrx [10:07] MilitantPotato: that is true only for the fglrx module before this latest release [10:08] but when i installed xserver-xgl my kubuntu redraw ran VERY slow [10:08] 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] ? [10:08] is there a way to make GUI apps not run if executed via sudo? [10:08] WaltzingAlong: iirc kate has that refusal to run under sudo built-in [10:08] BenjaminD: you could attempt the new ATI drivers, and see how that works. [10:08] BenjaminD: yes with xserver-xgl especially with compiz not running, X can run very slowly [10:09] is there an alternative? [10:09] or better way? [10:09] MilitantPotato: Ok, after the mother of all lousy greps, I conclude you did NOT mess up your system :) [10:09] before i install compiz now? [10:09] timri: thank god, I havn't done a backup lately :D [10:09] 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] BenjaminD: to run compiz you need 3d acceleration which vesa wont give you [10:09] aiglx is an alternative to xgl? [10:10] XGL allows cards that don't support AIGLX to work [10:10] *drivers [10:10] the new ATI drivers are far from perfect. [10:11] apt-get install compiz wants to install all the gnome librarys?? [10:11] aiglx is accelerate indirect glx [10:11] was trying to avoid that === SoHBete4154266 is now known as eDaLi [10:11] 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 [10:12] so am i better to not worry about compiz then? [10:12] laptop is oldish.. [10:12] BenjaminD: as you like really [10:12] BenjaminD: which video card? [10:12] ati x300 [10:12] 64mb [10:15] ping [10:15] so kde4 is coming soon? [10:15] 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 [10:16] fglrx ? [10:16] BenjaminD: fglrx is for newer ATI/amd cards [10:17] i had compiz working on ubuntu before with fglrx [10:17] BenjaminD: yes fglrx will not work with your card anyway [10:17] can i get compiz working with the nv driver [10:18] or do i need nvidia [10:18] BenjaminD: Re: your question about "kde4 coming soon", you might want to ask that in #kde (better don an asbestos coat though) [10:18] lol [10:18] daffytheduck: you need 3d accel which nv does not provide as far as i know [10:19] ok [10:19] i thought so [10:19] can i install nvidia from the repos or do i have to get it from nvidia [10:20] !nvidia | daffytheduck, either or [10:20] daffytheduck, either or: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [10:20] thnx [10:21] 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 [10:22] 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] radeon should work better than fglrx yes? [10:22] I got this in terminal while running kate: DCOP Cleaning up dead connections. kdecore (KProcess): WARNING: _attachPty() 11 [10:23] can i get a sources.list with fast mirrors all i seem to be getting is everything at 11kbps :(( [10:24] BenjaminD: stick with the radeon drivers :) [10:24] i upgraded to 7.10 and have multiple options in my boot menu... RT, Generic, & Low Latency... Generic & Low Latench boot fine but when i pick RT which i think is Real Time it hangs on the very end of the boot process. Any ideas?

[10:44] TrAndy: so the trick is to find out which module, which piece of hardware; check the logs for any relevant errors [10:45] It is done. yeah [10:46] Hi all [10:47] WaltzingAlong:ok, I'll look at the logs. The strange thing is it works ok if no update is made. I don't see any module/kernel related updates in this updates.

[11:30] 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] B4S3M: yes but you were telling me that the loading process was not getting that far [11:30] what is the file name? [11:31] Harahu: the file name of what; what are you attempting to do? [11:31] no [11:31] no direct rendering? [11:31] !pastebin | BenjaminD, paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log contents here [11:31] run iot as a live cd. [11:31] 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) [11:32] 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] BenjaminD: direct rendering is 3d accel in hardware [11:33] I have no burner. (I am sorry I know little of computers.) [11:33] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44715/ [11:34] Harahu: without a burner. ok then you should ask a friend to burn one for you or order a free one from shipit [11:35] My parent have a burner. [11:35] I shall do it on there computer. [11:36] I was going to network to there computer and make backup any way. [11:37] oh does a DVD have to be a "special" DVD to burn data to it? [11:37] (other then writable that is) [11:37] Harahu: the dvd version can be both 'run live' and installed without running live. it also contains more packages [11:38] WaltzingAlong .... i have now a command line ... hence the problem is with KDE .... how can i fix or even how can i know it ? [11:39] 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] BenjaminD: mind pasting the /etc/X11/xorg.conf as well [11:40] 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.

[11:45] which models am i adding sorry? [11:46] BenjaminD: the modules section, you could enable all, but mostly dri and glx [11:46] section modules up top === phil is now known as phil131 [11:46] got it [11:46] will try now [11:47] I have a process that take 100%, but top doesn't show it, how can I do?

[11:52] jhutchins: sorry top shows it... say xorg 76% [11:52] heh [11:52] B4S3M: ok, sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart to restart kdm [11:53] but the question is: the abnormal cpu started before evenb starts kdm [11:53] at very beginning of the kernel loading [11:53] hi there, i just install the metapackage ubuntustudio-audio [11:53] so why xorg? [11:53] but just to check it out [11:53] and now that i want it gone, it wont get rid of everything it installed [11:53] is there a guide for notebooks how to activate powersaving stuff? [11:53] such as sudo apt-get remove ubuntustudio-audio [11:53] WaltzingAlong got your prv-msg, still no direct rendering.. === i00nsu is now known as i00nsu_ [11:54] it leaves everything it installed, which is a plethora of odd packages [11:54] WaltzingAlong: after adding modules to xorg, i lost transluceny... :S [11:54] blenbb: "sudo apt-get install kpowersave" might be a good start... What exactly are you trying to do? [11:54] sirjoshimus: perhaps through autoremove in apt-get [11:54] thx WaltzingAlong ... owe u :) [11:55] BenjaminD: how about the new log to pastebin [11:55] 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] cmd again? [11:56] WaltzingAlong: it still leaves all the metapackage contents [11:56] its very annoying, its sloppy work [11:56] sirjoshimus: i typically use aptitude [11:56] !aptitude | sirjoshimus [11:56] WaltzingAlong: whats the difference? [11:56] 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] contrast83: I would like to save battery :) [11:57] WaltzingAlong i didnt pick any ... :S lol [11:57] Hey, I have a problem. I'm currently trying to install a game with a tar.gz extension. [11:58] and i can't get past the ./configure part [11:58] JohnFlux: shut down xorg doesn't help in fact [11:58] blenbb: kpowersave :-) [11:58] now 1% us, 2 sys [11:58] WaltzingAlong: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44720/ [11:59] but fan and cpu are @ 100% [11:59] MidMark: fun [11:59] BenjaminD: perhaps you need to set the AGPGART in according to the radeon page i have sent [11:59] MidMark: reboot ? :-) [11:59] That'll let you set up a custom profile for when you're running on battery. [11:59] * contrast83 loathes the kde-guidance-powermanager applet. === center is now known as lubashka [12:00] any idea how to have a Verilogger on kubuntu ? [12:00] JohnFlux: yeah, but sometimes the problem reappears [12:00] hmm my laptop has 1024 mb ram, but free shows only: 905216. Kubuntu has highmem support i hope! [12:01] blenbb: is your video card using some of that? [12:01] Doesn't the video card only use system memory if you specifically set it up that way in your xorg.conf? [12:02] BenjaminD: also in konsole, LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo then pastebin those results [12:02] if i add Virtual, do i put "1026x768" in quotes or 1024 768 like instructions? [12:02] contrast83: i was thinking of the intergrated video interfaces that have no dedicated RAM but use only main system RAM [12:03] BenjaminD: like in the instructions [12:03] WaltzingAlong: Right, that's what I'm referring to. [12:03] contrast83: and in that case i do not know if xorg.conf allows one to manage the system ram available to the video interface [12:04] It does. :-) [12:04] Under the Device section, you just put in a line like VideoRAM "65536" [12:05] contrast83: ok to minimize it but not possible to put it to 0 [12:05] I'm pretty sure it defaults to 0, i.e., if you don't have a line like that there. [12:06] MidMark: kill the programs one by one until the cpu drops? [12:06] 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] MidMark: then you can find out which is the program [12:08] contrast83: oh, i see, interesting [12:08] thanks for the update [12:08] np [12:08] Does anyone here play Frets on Fire? It performs *horribly* on Gutsy for me, played fine in Feisty on the same machine. :-\ [12:09] si [12:11] 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? [12:13] maybe [12:13] WaltzingAlong: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44723/ [12:13] added GART [12:13] and virtual desktop [12:14] transparency still gone [12:14] :S [12:14] BenjaminD: now that one shows direct rendering yes [12:15] shit it did too [12:15] just looking now [12:15] what abou tlibGL warinigns? [12:15] BenjaminD: what was giving transparency before? system settings/window behavior/translucency? [12:16] yeah [12:16] my opengl screen savers work better now [12:16] :) [12:16] id really love to get a window manager similar to beryl/compiz [12:17] but continue with kde [12:18] 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] nick_: if your system still has ms windows recovery may be as easy as adding a few lines, a new entry, to menu.lst [12:20] 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] But I didn't know if I was supposed to add that or find it [12:20] nick_: is windows sitting on hd0,0? sda1 or hda1 ? sure you could manually add to that file [12:20] No diversion `any diversion of /usr/lib/libGL.so.1', none removed [12:22] WaltzingAlong: I have forgotten the find command...where should I put that in to find that information? [12:22] /boot/grub/menu.lst [12:24] It says I have 3 Ubuntu installations, generic, recovery and memtest+86 [12:24] !grub | nick_, may be helpful to start here [12:24] 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 [12:25] WaltzingAlong: that worked! [12:25] WaltzingAlong: thank you very much [12:25] WaltzingAlong: all of them are are hd0,1 [12:25] BenjaminD: cheers! [12:26] 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] 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] WaltzingAlong: That's why I installed Windows again [12:26] fight not find* [12:28] nick_: interesting; so you need at least to know which drive and partition contains ms windows [12:29] WaltzingAlong: Ok, wait, I got it to load in conquerer...lucky, this was the page that I was working from earlier [12:29] yeah first guess on that is misconfigured proxy settings, nick_ [12:30] 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 [12:32] 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 [12:33] kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst ? [12:33] That did it [12:34] Same thing I was looking at when I nanoed into it, still no windows on the list [12:34] Can we use process of elimination to tell where Windows is? or is there another way to find it? [12:36] nick_: you need to add the entry for ms windows to the list. sure qtparted could show you details about the disks/partitions/filesystems [12:38] WaltzingAlong: would i be silly to install xglserver now i have my ati drivers working fine? [12:38] 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] 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) [12:39] i was thinking that [12:39] BenjaminD: but you could investigate how to get transparency/translucency back [12:39] no no, my transparency is back [12:39] and opengl works [12:39] oh! [12:39] everything is running sweet [12:40] Found it, "01 /dev/sda1 ntfs" [12:40] i would like to get beryl/compiz though.. can i use with the setup i have now (AIGLX is it?) ? [12:40] im happy not to [12:40] BenjaminD: aiglx currently, yes. try it out (compiz-fusion) [12:40] thanks [12:41] that will still install all the gnome files yes? [12:41] BenjaminD: yes [12:41] i think ill pass [12:42] 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] BenjaminD: :D ok [12:42] is there an alternative app? [12:42] or is installing the gnome stuff not that bad? [12:43] BenjaminD: try it out. install it through aptitude (sudo aptitude install ) so you can easily remove it should you wish [12:43] thanks again [12:45] hm [12:46] WaltzingAlong: So, I add those lines under the three ubuntu entries yes? [12:46] nick_: yes [12:46] WaltzingAlong: Awesome, thank you so much for the help [12:46] nick_: well we will see how well that works ;) [12:47] If I'm back in 15 minutes you'll know :) [12:58] hello, where do I disable automount? [13:02] WaltzingAlong: " If I'm back in 15 minutes you'll know :)" uh oh.... :) [13:09] timri: maybe he was rounding?

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.

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/ | cuco, check the wiki for the CUBE how to - or in the compiz channel [14:41] ajmoulen: i did that. in general serrings. [14:41] psychoholic: No need to restart, you're ready and done :) [14:41] sweet thanks [14:41] cuco: so under the k menu, go to settings, then Advanced Desktop Effects Settings [14:42] then in General Options [14:42] ajmoulen: i am running that application.

[14:44] ehird_: you could just delete .kde all together [14:44] man i am glad i took the time to learn IRC it helps lots installing linux and such [14:45] ajmoulen: ok, thanks. i see what went wrong. but still, i try to setup 4/1/1 and when i close that that and enter back it gets 2/2/1 [14:45] ehird_: or just copy .kde out of the way then you can copy back your settings [14:45] 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] ajmoulen: so i'd rather know where in .kde it is [14:45] there is also bitchx for cli irc [14:45] ~/.kde/share/config/sessions [14:46] thanks [14:46] Just rm -rf that, right, ajmoulen? [14:46] I think so [14:46] OK. Thanks. [14:47] or you know ... mv it incase bad thigns happen [14:47] * ScorpKing nods [14:47] DaSkreech: too late, mate! [14:48] jpatrick: I know but .. for future refrence [14:48] DaSkreech: for him bad things already happened, he can't log in [14:48] i hope he does not have mail in kmail [14:48] ajmoulen: and now he may have trashed his ~ dir if he didn't know what he was doing [14:48] session doesn't keep track of email [14:48] oops , I looks like GParted requires cd media , K3B won't burn it to a dvd+rw [14:48] that is in the kmail configuration [14:48] oh ya. [14:49] sessions only stores what applications were running when you shutdown, the location and size of those applications [14:49] i thought he'd rm .kde/ [14:49] and if you are running kwin restores them to the appropriate location and size, under compiz just to the size [14:50] ScorpKing: nope he asked which directory stored sessions, so I said ~/.kde/share/config/sessions [14:50] i see now. [14:50] * ScorpKing hides.. [14:50] should be able to burn the cd iso to dvdr [14:51] ScorpKing: same thing as I said to timri - It's Friday ;-) [14:51] * BluesKaj waits for ..."It didn't work!"

[14:56] 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] ehird_: rm ~/.kde/share/config/session/* [14:56] (or in ~/.kde/config) [14:56] ajmoulen: yes, i did [14:56] pfff [14:56] ajmoulen: (fix your typo) [14:56] it is ~/.kde/share/config/session not sessions [14:56] yes [14:56] i know [14:56] i tab-completed it [14:57] and you still couldn't log in? [14:57] however it still did it, just the window positions/sizes weren't remembered [14:57] did you get any errors? [14:57] so, where in ~/.kde/config is the RestoreItAtStartupThing option? [14:57] ehird_: system settings - settings manager 'always start with a new session' [14:57] and no [14:57] it just froze. [14:57] is there a way to burn a cd image to a dvd+rw ? [14:57] timri: that'd be good if i could get into system settings. [14:57] ehird_: good question [14:57] ehird_: rm ~/.kde/share/config/session/* [14:57] i did that [14:57] i already said that. [14:58] BluesKaj: yep, just do it like it's a dvd image (ie: select "burn DVD image") [14:58] ehird_: sudo adduser newuser [14:58] ok thanks Lynoure let me try that [14:58] can someone help me with a bootsplash [14:58] timri i am aware i could just remove my .kde however i do not wish to lose all of it [14:58] ehird_: I understand, but using a new account will let you keep your old, while at the same time giving (perhaps) useful debug info [14:59] timri; i've moved .kde to .kdeold [14:59] anyone? [14:59] so i'm in a 'green' kde right now [14:59] cool stdin .... seems to be working :) [14:59] uhlive: what is wrong with it? [14:59] ksmserverrc [15:00] 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] ajmoulen: how obvious [15:00] :D [15:00] 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] ehird_: of course it is ;-) [15:01] ksmserver -> KDE Session Management Server [15:01] scorpking i would at least like to see all the text and stuff [15:01] uhlive: make the resolution lower in /etc/usplash.conf [15:01] makes perfect sense ;-), of course that is if you can find the silly thing via a search [15:01] right on stdin...looks like it worked [15:01] uhlive: you don't have to reboot to test it [15:02] uhlive: remove 'splash' from the boot menu entries; perhaps 'quiet' as well [15:02] scorpking it is set to 1024 768.. shouldn't that be ok?

[15:11] then writes it out on session close [15:11] uhlive: you're welcome [15:11] ajmoulen: yeah, but i pressed the reset button on my computer! [15:11] how could it have a chance? it literally had its power cut [15:11] 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] yeah [15:11] well. :| [15:11] ehird__: and the journaling filesystem restored to when?

You didnt mention creating that one iirc [15:12] 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 [15:13] timri: I typo'd, when I said kdeold I really meant kde2.

[15:24] what is that supposed to do? [15:24] to start kde [15:24] ajmoulen: it is the process in KDE that start all the others [15:24] !iso [15:24] To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop » - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning. [15:24] ajmoulen: it's a bit of a hack to improve performance [15:24] timri: ah, too lazy to improve performance ;-) [15:25] thanks but isnt that the command i just showed ya? [15:25] try is [15:25] it* [15:26] ajmoulen: No, those issues are beyond the control of KDE [15:26] when I start KDE in Ubuntu, it says "Could not start kdeinit. Check your installation". What should I do? [15:26] timri: no I am too lazy to improve performance on my machine, so i don't pay attention to these things [15:27] tung: You installed the meta package "kubuntu-desktop" ? [15:27] tung: did you install kde under ubuntu? [15:27] thanks [15:27] Yes [15:27] timri: looks like we are going to the same place [15:27] ajmoulen: Ah, ok :) [15:27] :) [15:27] tung: so you installed kubuntu-desktop not just a pile of kde packages [15:28] from a command line, try sudo apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade [15:28] tung: are you trying to launch kde from inside gnome? [15:29] ajmoulen: it is called safe-upgrade nowadays, "upgrade" is the new dist-upgrade I think === elliott is now known as ehird` [15:29] I can use KDE app inside GNOME [15:29] 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] timri: why do they break things like this, whose smart idea was that? [15:29] but I can't start KDE session under Ubuntu [15:30] * timri shares ajmoulens sentiment [15:30] timri: I left gentoo for crap like that [15:30] heck through the years, I have left several distributions for stuff like that ;-) [15:31] tung: you have to start a kde session from gdm/kdm [15:31] ajmoulen: Yeah, the disregard for backwards compatibility is astounding [15:31] 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] I start KDE session from gdm [15:31] 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 [15:32] jasonago: it is a problem with knetworkmanager [15:32] yes, I can't start KDE session [15:32] jasonago: are you trying to carry forward old configuation files? [15:32] jasonago: Try posing your statements more like specific questions, we can help you better that way. [15:32] tung: you may need to reinstall the kde packages, I have seen that happen on a bad install before but not otherwise [15:33] 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] close* [15:33] tung: also did you have an old .kde directory you tried to move forward? [15:33] I have installed kubuntu-desktop [15:34] tung: unfortunately just removing and reinstalling that will not remove kde [15:34] try running a kde app from within a terminal in gnome [15:34] then check if kdeinit is started [15:34] I see. The only thing I should do is to reinstall KDE. Right [15:35] it may give you some ideas, also you could try startkde from within gnome and see what shows up in the terminal [15:35] well I think you may need to figure out what is causing the failure and there should be some error message [15:35] I can't use sudo apt-get install to install kdeinit [15:35] so running startkde from a gnome terminal may give you some information that we may be able to help you with [15:36] kdeinit isn't a package by itself [15:36] at least I don't think it is [15:36] what happens when you try typing kdeinit from a gnome terminal? [15:36] how to updates kubuntu? [15:37] timri: looks like keep uses rdiff-backup in the background [15:37] kuta: see the topic [15:37] I start KDE from GNOME terminal and the same error happens [15:37] VSpike: Oops, didnt know that. [15:38] me either :) [15:38] but is that the only error? [15:38] 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] tung: that was toward you sorry [15:39] hello [15:39] when I type kdeinit in terminal, it says: [15:39] timri: If I use rdiff-backup to an ntfs partition I'll lose ownerships and permissions, right?

[15:40] 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 [15:41] so how can i help to improve it and suggest bugs? [15:41] snake: manual way is system setting > advanced > session manager set it to start an empty session [15:41] VSpike: one sec [15:41] stdin: thank you [15:41] going to try now [15:41] VSpike: ok, Iam back. [15:42] 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] VSpike: Even if it preserves your permissions (I could think of some kludge using ACls for that) you will have problems with some filenames [15:43] I hate printer makers that supply Linux drivers that only work in 1 distro.....

[15:44] B4S3M: did you check the database at http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting [15:44] ajmoulen: how can I set up knetworkmanager to run at startup [15:44] VSpike: That's what I do. [15:44] 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. === keith is now known as CPrgmSwR2 [15:45] Downix: ignore me pls. [15:45] tung: wouldn't it make sense to first get kde to start before worrying about knetworkmanager? [15:45] hello all [15:45] timri: but you're so nice and helpful! 8) [15:45] Downix: :) [15:45] ajmoulen: because i can use KDE app inside Ubuntu [15:45] 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? [15:46] tung: put a link into ~/.kde/Autostart [15:46] tung: use gnome's network manager rather than kde's [15:46] it is more complete anyway [15:47] B4S3M: http://www.openprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=HP-LaserJet_1020 [15:47] hi, after fectching updates in adept Manager, how to update my kubuntu to the latest patches? [15:47] tung: if you haven't invested a lot into your system already, backup your home directory and reinstall kubuntu [15:47] kuta: did you just fetch them? rather than install? [15:47] ajmoulen: I think wicd is better than gnome network manager, but when I install kubuntu-desktop it force me to uninstall wicd [15:48] ajmoulen: fetch updates [15:48] 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] kuta: on the bottom of the screen it should have install option [15:48] timri: good idea [15:48] I have a little prb with amarok and wikipedia fr [15:49] If I use the fr locale the progress bar loops [15:49] and no info appears [15:49] it's work with other ( en , es ... ) [15:50] somebody has already see that ? [15:51] mdos: did you try in kubuntu.fr ? [15:51] !fr [15:51] Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais. [15:51] err -fr, I always get that wrong [15:51] I think I need to stop helping ;-) [15:52] everybody sleeping on kubuntu-fr :) [15:52] mdos: Ask _4strO, he/she is from (around) strasbourg [15:52] oki [15:53] <_4strO> mdos: exact [15:53] it's strange because it worked before [15:54] mdos: You have to repeat your problem: _4strO just joined the channel, so he couldn't have heard you :) [15:54] <_4strO> right ! [15:54] I have a little prb with amarok and wikipedia fr [15:54] If I use the fr locale the progress bar loops and no infos appears [15:54] timri: I picture you with a google map with the names of people pinned to it ;-) [15:55] hehe [15:55] and a white cat [15:55] can you test it 4strO ? [15:55] wow, writing to usb hard drive is cpu intensive :/ [15:55] how would one get kate's fish to work with a knock firewall? [15:56] I use amarok ver 1.4.5 [15:56] ajmoulen: Nope, I see the join/leave messages in konversation. Like me, _4strO is a wandoo/orange client, and they include the some geographical info in the reverse dnsname (or whatever it is called ;)) [15:56] someone can try to change the locale to fr and say me if the problem occurs ? === WorkRoey is now known as Roey [15:57] <_4strO> mdos: i'm under 1.4.7 [15:57] <_4strO> but i will try [15:57] ok thx [15:57] I want to know if the problem come from me or if it's more general [15:58] NetersLandreau: good question... :) I have no clue [15:59] NetersLandreau: I doubt the fish kioslave supports knocking, though [15:59] <_4strO> mdos: you speak fr ?

[16:40] Configuration module of KDE [16:40] like for example system services [16:40] kristjan_: it should, unless you changed the users's theme [16:41] or monitor [16:41] & dispmlay [16:41] Jucato: something happened after recent update - adept no longer integrates into my desktop, uses kubuntu's default look [16:41] kristjan_: apps that run as root (with sudo/kdesu) use a separate theme (the root user's theme). but it's configured to use the same default theme as the default users [16:42] the windows is always too small and the Administrator mode button along with the Cancel and ok [16:42] ones are always hidden [16:43] How can i change this behavior [16:44] even if I maxmize the windows then close them === Simeon is now known as Ansaguy [16:44] the next time i open them they remain as described [16:44] Jucato: I think this is related to "libqt3-mt" - after the update there was an error and I had to "sudo dpkg --configure -a" http://hashbin.com/1627e.html [16:45] kristjan_: I think I answerd Y (install package manager's version) [16:45] This is only happenig with Kde control Modules windows [16:45] Jucato: I answered N (default) === Ansaguy is now known as ansaguy [16:46] Jucato: can I rerun it and answer Y (to see if this caused adept strange behaviour) [16:46] invite_: run "kcontrol" - this version won't resize strangely [16:46] kristjan_: I don't think so. but perhaps it works now. it might have not finished installing === ansaguy is now known as Ansaguy [16:47] So is this a common problem [16:47] ? [16:48] already listed in launchpad or kde bug tracking system...

[16:59] oops ignore that >.> [17:00] Another thing that is strange is the power saving. If I enable it , keep using the computer and then [17:00] it's not working anymore [17:01] the screen doesn't turn black [17:01] invite_: define "not working" [17:01] iWhen i check the Power saving option i find it desactivated [17:01] The check box is not checked anymore [17:02] and the power saving by the way [17:02] invite_: really strange - works here [17:02] it's randomly happening [17:02] somtimes it last a day [17:02] sometimes 2 [17:03] sometimes not even a hour [17:03] Last day i was doing a projection at school [17:03] invite_: can you post the output of "xset -q" in hashbin.com? [17:03] it was a movie i have disabled it [17:03] but the screen turned black after about 2 minutes [17:04] I have checked the power saving option and found it uncked [17:04] unchecked [17:05] when i switched to my gnome session [17:05] it worked fine [17:05] it was really disappointing [17:06] DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 60 Suspend: 60 Off: 60 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On [17:07] ok on irssi I did /nick newnickname then did /save then restarted irssi and it restarted with the original user name, so how do I fix this? [17:07] invite_: Sometimes the settings in your BIOS will override the settings in Linux. [17:08] but it was working perfectly [17:08] with feisty [17:08] TheGateKeeper: Dunno, I run Konversation. I suspect there's a manual, and probably a support channel where you can be told to read it. [17:08] and dapper [17:08] this issue happened when i upgraded to gusty [17:08] TheGateKeeper: ~/.irssi/config file [17:09] Hello guys.

[17:09] when i try to mount my extern hdd i get "hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000" !? [17:10] and i think it will be hard to track as it is happening "randomly" even if I know that ther is certainly some reason [17:11] hello all, problem : i have kubuntu (gutsy) and the language is set to canada (french), i have some document (actually .java) on a usb key and there is many é,è,à in the comments there, but they appear in kate and netbeans as ?(kate) or square (netbeans), both r in utf8 and i tryed to change to every encoding in kate but this is not helping. thanks [17:11] Thylio90: Page 4 and 5 on: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=473511 [17:13] timri: thx [17:13] thanks Jucato :) [17:13] xultz: dd if=/dev/hdc of=mybackupcopy.iso === i00nsu is now known as i00nsu_ [17:14] thank you timri, I will try it [17:15] xultz: Note: you may need to use sudo, and your cdrom/dvd could be on another device than /dev/hdc [17:16] this kubuntu is dificult to understand that slackware 3.0 jesus... joke ... why i cant make any software installation? every time I try ...

I like the consistency of the pipe'd one.

[17:22] hydrogen: I can use the same syntax with data not from a file, eg ps aux | grep yada [17:22] timri : /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 fuseblk rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096 0 0 [17:22] timri: right, thats because ps aux isn't a file [17:22] timri, ?? [17:23] you can grep stdout or you can grep a file [17:23] hydrogen: Well duh :) [17:23] it makes more sense to grep the file [17:23] then to put the file in stdout and grep that [17:23] BluesKaj: I typed the exact same thing some seconds before you [17:23] yan: Ah, there's a utf missing! [17:23] err, you forgot "install" [17:23] hydrogen: Whatever. [17:23] BluesKaj: *blush* [17:24] ppl copy and paste :) [17:24] how i add it?

[17:48] in my experience [17:48] admittedly, they're majority older games [17:49] Cedega? [17:49] hmmm never did heard about [17:49] i think its a non free wine like app [17:49] It's a port of Wine with heavy focus on DirectX games. $5 a month [17:49] non free? [17:49] worth the $15 I've paid for it. [17:49] :/ [17:49] It can be free if you compile it yourself from the CVS tree [17:49] How are you?

[17:57] hex view the file? [17:58] er... and how is that going to tell me which format it is in? [17:58] I read somewhere to use the file command [17:58] and it returns myiso.iso: data [18:00] well, if you know what the different file format headers are, you'll know that way [18:03] can someone point me in the right direction concerning getting floppies to read ... getting an error when I click on the desktop icon ...

The desktop entry file /home/me/Desktop/Floppy Device is of type FSDevice but has no DEV=... entry [18:12] (had to go check :) ) [18:14] hi [18:14] hi [18:17] jim88: don't know the last time I had a floppy drive on a computer, but does the floppy drive show up in the kde devices list? === Tonio__ is now known as Tonio_ [18:19] Hey [18:19] i need help with grub [18:19] i installed fresh [18:19] ajmoulen under what list [18:19] grub points to correct hdd and partition [18:19] but cannot mount it [18:19] kde system settings, advanced, disks or something like that [18:20] 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] I think floppy drives should appear there [18:20] what's the command line entry lol [18:20] is there a way in irssi to get different people to show up in different colours? [18:20] jim88: under the kde menu, system settings, no idea what the command line is for it [18:21] one sec [18:21] I am using the ipw2200 network driver. [18:21] Gerrit: if your router is set to B you should automatically connect to it without changing anything [18:22] 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] how can I find out the FS type of an iso? [18:22] well, a CD image, since I'm not sure it actually is an iso9660 image [18:22] 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 [18:23] check under /media [18:23] you may find the mounted folder there [18:23] it's listed as fd0 [18:23] ajmoulen: If it's set to B, it won't connect. If it's set to G, it will. [18:24] Gerrit: let me ask the obvious question, why would you force your router to B? [18:24] lordofthepigs: try `file /path/to/fiilename` [18:24] ajmoulen: Because 10 other wireless routers are using G in a range of 20m. [18:24] or perhaps a range of 40m [18:24] jim88: not sure I understand the problem [18:24] ajmoulen: There is a lot of interference when we use G [18:24] I cannot access the contents of the floppy [18:24] B and G use the same frequency [18:25] Ah, I just found it using a windows tool... [18:25] A is what you would want if you want to use a different frequency [18:25] My neighbours claim that the internet works better with B. [18:25] it seems the filesystem type is Joliet [18:25] they may just have a devices that is better at dropping crosstalk [18:25] Is it possible that we have less packet loss with B than with G? [18:25] so how can I mount that? mount -t joliet? [18:26] lordofthepigs: iso9660 should work if joilet support is in the kernel [18:26] Gerrit: not sure [18:26] seezer: and is it by default? [18:26] Gerrit: you could try manually setting the channel to something other than 11 [18:26] I don't remember installing that explicitely [18:27] yes should be [18:27] seezer: Well for some reason, it still doesnt want to mount [18:27] 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] perhaps its a "freak" format of alcohol120% or whatever products exist out there [18:28] ajmoulen: ok [18:28] sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 myiso.iso /media/iso doesn't work [18:28] this yields an "Unable to identify CD-ROM format" in the syslog [18:29] 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] lordofthepigs: are you sure the image is good? [18:29] ajmoulen: Then perhaps my neighbours are mistaken. [18:29] ajmoulen: It mounts in windows with poweriso [18:29] I will discuss it with them. [18:30] lordofthepigs: are you trying to mount a file off a fat32 partition or something like that in Linux? [18:30] nope, it's on a ext3 partition [18:30] ho un problema con hard disc esterno [18:30] ajmoulen:I cannot access the contents of the floppy [18:30] did you try just mount -o loop myiso.iso /media/iso [18:31] jim88: from /media/fd0 or from that KDE link? [18:31] [13:28] sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 myiso.iso /media/iso doesn't work [18:31] lo vedo ma non riesco ad aprire accesso negato [18:31] ajmoulen: from the KDE link [18:31] lordofthepigs: notice the lack of -t iso9660 [18:31] ajmoulen: If I don't use the -t iso9660 option, I get an "you need to specify the filesystem type" error [18:31] lordofthepigs: it isn't recognizing the file type [18:32] ajmoulen: media/fd0 does exist [18:32] lordofthepigs: I mount iso files all the time, and never put a -t iso9660 [18:32] ajmoulen: any idea what I can do? [18:32] well if it works in windows burn it to CD would be my best suggestion [18:33] 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] bah, I'm trying to extract an ISO from my mounted image :) [18:33] we'll see what I get to with that... [18:34] ajmoulen: I understand but there is nothing there and I know there is something on the disk [18:36] jim88: from the command prompt when you do ls /media/fd0 you get nothing? [18:36] ajmoulen: yes [18:37] then you don't really have it mounted [18:37] ajmoulen: heh, it seems that my extracting the mounted image into another iso worked properly [18:38] ajmoulen: I did mount -a [18:38] ajmoulen: and got no errors [18:38] type mount (do not paste it all here) do you see something specifically mounted to /media/fd0? [18:39] ajmoulen: ok it gave me an error mddosfs [18:41] ajmoulen: I changed fstab to auto and it gave no errors [18:42] ajmoulen: now it works [18:44] ajmoulen: thank you [18:45] jim88: if anything I did was helpful you are welcome, sounds like you solved it on your own [18:46] hi. Kopete can't connect to MSN. amsn can. I was able to connect to ICQ/AOL. 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. [18:51] what could be the reason, why knetworkmanager suddenly stops looking for active interfaces? seems like hotplug is down === _gukk is now known as gukk_devel [18:52] 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] I can only go for manual network configuration in knetworkmanager [18:53] 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) [18:55] actually I think, this is knetworkmanager, clicking on "manual configure" doesn't let pop up any window ... :I [18:55] kNetworkManager 0.2 [18:58] ajmoulen: no, you helped ... just thankful you guys are here [18:58] knetworkmanager seems blind, it doesn't even detect, that I'm in here (ethernet, dhcp) [18:58] help :) [19:00] what input do you need, to better help me? [19:04] patricio, why not use System-->Settings? [19:04] is there any particular reason why Kubuntu keeps freezing on me? [19:05] pacman: you will need to provide more information than that. [19:05] it does it especially after I've been trying to add stuff in Adept [19:06] it'll just freeze, and I'll have to restart [19:06] ....... hmpf [19:07] pacman: not sure, I am also having a [19:07] Adept issues [19:08] pacman, if u use aptitude is it freezing? [19:08] or do you use the adept_manager? (GUI) [19:08] you mean sudo apt-get? [19:09] there sudo apt-get and sudo aptitude [19:09] I use both....been using adept since I'm just setting up my new HD [19:09] does sudo apt-get freeze kde? [19:09] no, it doesn't [19:09] so only the gui does right? [19:10] yeah [19:10] well i have some issu with the adept_manager (gui) 2.. so i started to use sudo apt-get [19:10] i look in adept_manager for the package i want [19:10] then download/install them trought apt-get [19:11] if u absolutely need a GUI to do that then type in console sudo apt-get install synaptic [19:11] I guess I'll start doing that [19:11] when it's installed, type synaptic [19:11] its another package manager [19:11] synaptic is the Gnome version of adept, right? [19:12] ewww i just started to use linux so i cant tell u [19:12] pacman: yes, but a lot of folks think synaptic is much better [19:12] I've never tried it, though my g/f has ubuntu on her box [19:12] you could try it [19:13] pacman: I hate GTK apps, but I use synaptic when I need a gui for package management. [19:13] opening it now [19:13] Kinda says a lot [19:14] pacman: Synaptic? [19:14] yes [19:14] pacman: I'd like to make one suggestion wrt synaptic [19:15] okay [19:15] When it opens, click on Settings > Preferences and make sure the option "Show package properties in the main window" is checked. [19:15] That will get you a nice "package explanation" in the main window [19:19] Who got worked Ati radeon x1600 successfully? I have problems with beryl and tv capture card. Can you help me? [19:22] I think I found the offending packages. libsmclient, samba-common, and smbclient refuse to update via adept. Everything else is applied. [19:28] okay, now I'm having an audio issue [19:30] hmm...vlc issue...works fine in mplayer [19:30] <_Angelus_> use amarok ;p [19:32] Please help me :D I'm on kubuntu 7.10 live cd at the partitioning phase, I chose manual. How can I set the swap space? [19:33] <_Angelus_> ubuntu simple [19:33] How? [19:33] <_Angelus_> create a partition double the size of you're ram and choose to use as swap [19:33] <_Angelus_> :) [19:33] allright [19:33] 2048 [19:33] <_Angelus_> yeah [19:33] but how do I choose it as swap? [19:33] <_Angelus_> and select to use as swap [19:34] how to select? [19:34] there comes some box [19:34] <_Angelus_> from were you select the size [19:34] ok [19:34] <_Angelus_> yeah [19:34] <_Angelus_> you have an option in that box [19:34] do I write "swap" in it or? [19:34] <_Angelus_> use as: [19:34] <_Angelus_> no [19:34] ok [19:34] <_Angelus_> it's a drop down box [19:34] umm [19:34] 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] oooooooohhhkdjglkdjgldkfgj [19:34] lol :D [19:34] <_Angelus_> you have a choice called swap [19:34] thanks alot! [19:34] <_Angelus_> hehe [19:34] <_Angelus_> xD [19:34] understood :D [19:35] <_Angelus_> then make a partition and use it as / [19:35] I made the ext3 and / now [19:35] 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] Well I'll make: windows, media, swap and a kubuntu [19:35] <_Angelus_> oh [19:36] 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] well when windows crashes, then I can reinstall it without problems [19:36] by media I mean videos etc [19:36] i'm not sure how to troubleshoot it w/ linux [19:36] <_Angelus_> oh [19:36] it's obviously a codec problem [19:36] but i've played other divx files on here just fine. [19:37] <_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] ummm [19:37] then I cant read it from windows [19:38] well I just want to make partition for media, isn't it ok? :P [19:38] "no root file system is defined" [19:38] how do I define it? [19:38] you have to basiclaly put it somewhere [19:38] how about / [19:39] it can't be blank [19:39] it worked! :D ty [19:39] yea [19:39] figured it out [19:39] :) [19:39] hi, anybody get cryptsetup luksformat to work? i can't.......... :( [19:39] but wait [19:39] before you do that [19:39] i don't know if you want to do what you're doing [19:39] i know what you want to do [19:39] shared 'media' space [19:39] between both operating systems [19:39] I already did [19:39] yea [19:39] <_Angelus_> ubuntu you must choose a partition with mount point / [19:39] but why are you putting it at root? (/) [19:39] yeye [19:40] nm [19:40] you're high or something. [19:40] The_Machine: I haven't created the media partition yet [19:40] oh, then you're just installing it [19:40] I'm trying to create it afterwards [19:40] yea [19:40] and then you'll make your media partition later [19:40] okay :) [19:40] heh [19:40] thanks for trying to help! :) [19:40] thanks fine then :) [19:40] lol [19:40] I appreciate it [19:40] Formatting [19:40] <_Angelus_> ubuntu listen , create swap , create the root file system and use it as / , then creat the media partition and mount it at /media/data for example and choose ntfs as partition for it ;0 [19:40] i love the live cd <3 irc and formatting in a same window! [19:41] :) [19:41] yeah, tha'ts awesome [19:41] _Angelus_: I'll create the media afterwards [19:41] <_Angelus_> well you can create it afterwards too [19:41] <_Angelus_> just leave enough space [19:41] ubuntu type /nick and you can get a nickname also :) === ubuntu is now known as Eicca [19:42] oh ty :D [19:42] <_Angelus_> btw ubuntu i would recomand installing windows first, and instaling kubuntu after, because windows re-writes the boot manager so you will have to boot into the livecd again and re-install grub after installing windows [19:42] _Angelus_: thats what I've done [19:42] <_Angelus_> oh [19:42] <_Angelus_> ok [19:42] <_Angelus_> :p [19:42] :) [19:43] I'm just trying to figure out how to create media partition, put the media from windows partition to media partition, and then resize the windows partition [19:43] seems like a hard task, since partition magic 8 wasn't able to do it :/ [19:43] any idea why i am getting a 403-forbidden when trying to run updates today ?

At the time that the Graphical login window appears, only thing that happens is that the kubuntu startup bar appears, it's empty and it isn't moving, when I press the power button on my computer then the bar starts to get to decrease and the computer shuts off [20:41] ubuntu: you can go "ctrl+alt+f1" and see the boot up logs and have the ability to log in from the command line [20:41] is thier a way to get some one ip with kubuntu [20:42] mastermanx2005: what do you mean? [20:42] nosrednaekim: whats the partition tool for kubuntu?

[20:43] nosrednaekim , Ok, is it possible to fix X :)? [20:43] ubuntu: There's a wealth of things you can do with that, like cat file, sudo apt-get install/remove, top, screen, etc === heni is now known as gsuveg [20:44] ubuntu: you can run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and then "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart" [20:44] and if it fails,it will tell you why [20:44] nosrednaekim , is there any way to do that without leaving the LIve CD :) ?

[20:45] nosrednaekim , those commands are spelled right right?, I'll writte em down and try [20:46] nosrednaekim: Can't he use mount and nano to fix his xorg.conf? [20:46] I am having trouble installing Unreal tournament 2004 on Kubuntu can any one tell me how to do it [20:47] ubuntu: yeah, they are right. [20:47] ardchoille: IDK what the [problem is... easier to do a dpkg-reconfigure [20:47] true [20:47] nosrednaekim , Thanks alot, I'll try that, so I press ctrl+alt+f1 after I get stuck? [20:47] yeah. [20:48] maybe ctrl+alt +f2 it sometimes depends [20:48] its got the linux installer on disk one but I have no idea how to install it [20:48] cya soon :) [20:48] nosrednaekim: I am using http://security.ubuntu.com - isn't that the main mirror?

Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [20:50] why do I need to use "Automatic Image Adjustion" on my view sonics VA903b every time the kde starts? [20:50] and that command didnt work [20:50] had to reboot [20:50] eicca: it probably got messed up by the boot splash [20:51] Anybody have any experience with Atheros wireless cards? They give me mad loads of diarrhea. [20:51] nosrednaekim: yea, but it gets every time I open it [20:51] alucardromero: yalp.. got one. [20:51] can I change the resolution of the splash? [20:51] How did you get yours to work? [20:52] does anybody play unrela tournament 2004 [20:52] alucardromero: default driver ussually works, when it doesn't I use ndiswrapper [20:52] unreal* [20:52] alucardromero: what chipset have you got? [20:52] thanks nosrednaekim [20:52] Celeron 530 [20:53] alucardromero: no... I mean which atherso chipset?

[20:54] alucardromero: use ndiswrapper :D [20:54] Do I blacklist the restricted driver? [20:54] nosrednaekim: can I change the resolution of the splash screen to 1280x1024? [20:55] eicca: hrm...not sure.... you can change its res, but i'm not sure how high. [20:56] k [20:56] puzzud: don't know, I'm getting it too. [20:56] I must have forgot to register ;) [20:56] yea, and I was really happy to do a online upgrade [20:57] nosrednaekim , Yay, that commando worked, I was ubuntu recently [20:57] arash: ok.. sweert [20:57] http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/samba/libsmbclient_3.0.26a-1ubuntu2.1_i386.deb and similar files are all dated for today [20:57] * dthacker-work left his coffee in the break room..... [20:58] created/uploaded [20:58] is it possible someone didn't set the correct group access rights on them? [20:58] 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] nosrednaekim: is there a virtual machine available on kubuntu? some that could run windows xp [20:58] eicca: virtualbox [20:59] arash: well, if you go with the defaults,you are good :D [20:59] 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] nosrednaekim , I just pressed esc out of scareness >D [20:59] nosrednaekim: is it good? [21:00] arash: your ati drivers are probably still installed, but not being used [21:00] eicca: excellent [21:00] eicca: youneed over a gig of ram though.. [21:00] nosrednaekim: I like the sound of that :P [21:00] Well I have 1 gig [21:00] in windows the microsoft virtual machine worked fine [21:00] ok... you should be good then [21:00] ok [21:01] eicca: you will have to reinstall WindowsXP into it [21:02] nosrednaekim: I know [21:07] eicca: you aren't going to be playing any games in it though. [21:08] I know that too ;) [21:08] eicca: this your first time using linux? [21:08] umm no [21:08] nosrednaekim , why can't you play games in a virtual machine? [21:08] I ask...cause I want to stop assuming that you know nothing.. [21:08] ok.. good XD [21:09] I know just very little :P [21:09] arash you'd need a very fast computer [21:09] arash: no 3d acceleration [21:09] at all? [21:09] what about for example java games [21:09] that has a little 3d [21:09] nosrednaekim: can I play 10/13 year old games if I got a very good graphics card :p? [21:10] eicca: only what can be done on your CPU [21:10] umm ok [21:10] I play games in 'virtual' machines all the time. [21:10] For example runescape? [21:11] ok so i have glade and anjuta, now what... [21:11] arash: actually, anything more than 5-6 years old will play decently [21:11] I want to run macro on it [21:11] is anyone here a kubuntu dev? [21:11] C64, amiga, Dosbox, ect.. and all the mame games.. :0 [21:11] 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] it's confusing [21:11] eicca: don't know what that is. [21:11] nosrednaekim: sounds interesting, I'll keep the name of it in mind :) [21:11] nosrednaekim: www.runescape.com [21:11] re [21:12] but yea [21:12] I have to go to sleep [21:12] puzzud: they hang out over at #kubuntu-devel [21:12] thanks alot guys and see you! [21:12] nosrednaekim: thx [21:12] drarem: wrong channel for glade. [21:12] heh, don't have channel operator access to #glade [21:13] drarem: try #ubuntu-motu [21:14] thanks :) [21:14] or #ubunt-devel [21:14] or #gnome [21:14] cool [21:26] well, aparently the 403 errors are a known issue. Looks like i will have to wait until they fix the updates. [21:40] synaptic transaction set check failed [21:40] anyone know why? [21:41] check is in the mail? [21:41] :) [21:42] hahaha [21:43] hi, my kdm doesnt recognize my default kde [21:44] where is the setting responsible? [21:44] it always start gnome [21:44] starts [21:44] Henkie: in session menu press kde [21:44] jpatrick, yeah, but it doesnt remember [21:45] hmm [21:45] I thought kdm rememberd the last session and set it to default [21:45] same here, but it doesnt [21:45] the users have a .dmrc file (i think) that it saves it in. [21:46] some times that file gets the wrong permissions and cant be saved [21:46] ah, sounds about right [21:46] Dr_Willis: my ~/.dmrc file says: Session=default [21:46] Henkie: check this forum: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/debian-linux-help/27155-making-kde-default-session.html [21:46] i moved my home dir to another uid because of winbind [21:47] ardchoille change it to kde then. :) or just delete the file [21:47] it will remake it next time you liogin [21:47] Ah, ok [21:48] alright, i'll try it at work tomorrow [21:48] Hi, I try to upgrade to Gutsy, but I get this error after a short while http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44807/ [21:50] arash: should comment out those anyway since they are for feisty and you are on gutsy now [21:52] 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 [21:53] arash: What he meant was that if you are upgrading *to* Gutsy, you shouldn't have any Feisty repos enabled [21:53] ardchoille: ah OK :), what acction should be taken [21:53] ? [21:54] arash: as WaltzingAlong mentioned, comment out all the Fesity repos [21:54] ardchoille: /etc/sources ? [21:54] arash: But, there's a better way to upgrade [21:54] !upgrade | arash [21:54] arash: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [21:54] how do i get rid of dash?

[21:55] :) [21:55] i kinda said i couldnt :P [21:55] i -> it [21:55] arash, upgrading from launchpad ? [21:55] arash: I was under the impression that the gui upgrader took care of that for you [21:56] BluesKaj: I followed the steps that were mentioned in the channels topic [21:56] in the link in the channels topic * [21:56] amaranth.. I recognise that word from somewhere [21:57] Nightwish? [21:57] ardchoille: hmm, maybe I should comment em out manually? [21:58] arash: I would. /etc/apt/sources.list [21:59] kde printing seems not to work, but printing from a gnome app does work [22:00] what can be the problem? [22:00] arash: Where did you get those sources from anyway (amaranth)? [22:01] ardchoille: dunno, :p, probably some manual told me too :) [22:01] ardchoille: u know where they are from? [22:02] arash: Ok, the only reason I asked is because those sources are missing the "component" [22:02] 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] any clue as to what happened? [22:02] ardchoille: u use 7.10 ? [22:02] arash: Yes [22:03] ardchoille: hehe, Im gonna be enjoying KDE 3.5.8 anytime now :D [22:03] It's nice. I had my doubts about upgrading, but I'm glad I did. Kubuntu ROCKS! [22:04] ardchoille: hehe, well, cya , it tells me to close down all programs, [22:04] ok [22:04] anyone?

[22:07] are you using amaranth's repo? [22:08] talking to me MilitantPotato? [22:08] yea [22:08] i doubt it, i'm using the default repos [22:08] is compiz included in the feisty repos now? [22:08] hmm, seems to me only certain countries are having repository/install-update probs , but not all.

[22:11] arash: That looks like the same issue others are having right now [22:12] oh, so theres nothing to do about it :< ? [22:13] Not at the moment [22:13] 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? [22:14] ardchoille , then Im gonna be an Vista user until the CD's arrive :( [22:14] tilt: First you must flip the magnetic quantum flux of your soul. [22:14] tilt , have you tried adept-manager? [22:14] tilt: Then, you must reinforce the portal to exemplify its positive/negative output points. [22:14] yes... the prog is not in.. [22:14] tilt: Then, you must start konsole and type "sudo apt-get install PACKAGENAME". [22:14] Actually you only have to do the last bit. [22:14] nice thx i take this in note [22:15] ehird`: That's not helping [22:15] ardchoille: Hey! I did help. ... eventually [22:15] hehe [22:16] How can I tell what the dungeon I'm in is called? [22:16] Like "gnomish mines" or "sokoban" [22:16] Is there a way? [22:17] huh?

[22:19] tilt: don't install from a tar. [22:19] tilt: try 'sudo apt-get install poweriso', failing that google for ubuntu packages [22:19] tar files are normally not listed in repositories that adept and synaptic use [22:20] failing that, get dirty with the command line and compile it yourself with that tar [22:20] not impressed with the latest version of poweriso [22:21] have you another prog that read .daa? [22:21] it's hacked from the windows app [22:21] BluesKaj: does it use WINE? :| [22:21] 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.' [22:22] dunno , ehird` ..using kiso or k3b [22:22] k3b do not open it [22:22] the older vesions of acetoneiso were good [22:23] but not the newer ones [22:24] i cant update samba from the current update, something about commiting [22:24] ehird`, tilt , I used poweriso in windows and it was clunky [22:24] ive herad of some others with similer issues Greenery - i think there may be a bug in the updates [22:24] Greenery may want to try again in a day or so [22:25] okies === jan-eike is now known as kWiJiBo === kWiJiBo is now known as squish [22:26] is it just me or is http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/samba/libsmbclient_3.0.26a-1ubuntu2.1_i386.deb giving a 403? [22:26] as is all architectures of that one file, but nothing else [22:26] raylu: At the moment, several users have reported that problem. [22:27] ok, thanks [22:27] n8 [22:30] Gnome is currently my login manager, how do I set KDE to handle it? [22:31] MilitantPotato: /etc/X11/default-display-manager ? [22:32] /usr/sbin/gdm [22:32] change it to /usr/sbin/kdm ? [22:32] MilitantPotato, system settings/user management/admin mode [22:32] Mine has /usr/bin/kdm and I use kdm [22:32] * ardchoille likes BluesKaj's idea better [22:33] BluesKaj: But, without a gui, would that be the correct file to edit? [22:34] Hello [22:34] BluesKaj: what am I modifying in here? [22:34] How can I convert files to 3gp on Kubuntu? [22:34] ardchoille, dunno , I normally use the gui ...it's easier for us old windows users :) [22:34] :) [22:35] I tried ffmpeg, but it doesn't have a 3gp support when downloading through Adept [22:35] 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] (at least it's accusing it) [22:35] ubotu: 3gp [22:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about 3gp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:35] root@CPE00112f54d8de-CM00111adeaa42:~# tar zxvf poweriso.tar.gz in wich folder it needed to be? [22:35] ubotu: viedo [22:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about viedo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:35] ubotu: video [22:35] Ubuntu 7.04 installs multimedia codecs automatically. For older versions of Ubuntu, or if you can't use the automatic installer, see https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - For multimedia applications, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications [22:36] MilitantPotato, the users and groups , there should be listings for gnome and kde users [22:36] hello everyone [22:36] can someone help me set up kpf? [22:37] tilt: Are you logged into the root account? You can use sudo for tar [22:37] 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] ardchoille: i have use sudo su - and i enter my password before i write down this command.. [22:38] I am just about at wits end here with these STUPID partitioning programs on the live cds!!!! [22:38] why is my drive status "busy" when nothing's mounted?!! [22:38] 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) [22:39] 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] ubuntu: if the program is so "stupid" then program your own, otherwise don't complain [22:39] leo_rockw: thats a stupid way to look at it. [22:39] im not getting mnuch help here [22:39] this is day 2 [22:39] i tried to gparted live cd, and it just crashes [22:39] hydrogen: you can't say something is stupid when someone put a lot of effort into it [22:39] leo_rockw: one can complain about how bad a program is without having a better alternative [22:40] 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] leo_rockw: sure you can.. we say it about windows all the time [22:40] hydrogen: then program one yourself [22:40] ubuntu Serial or ATA? [22:40] leo_rockw: why? [22:40] leo_rockw: I can call it stupid without doing so [22:40] hydrogen: why not? [22:40] MilitantPotato: ATA [22:40] hydrogen: that's being ungrateful [22:40] leo_rockw: because programming my own doesn't automatically make the other more or less stupid [22:40] ubuntu do you have the jumpers set correctly? [22:40] It claims my old swap drive from the partition im trying to erase is mounted [22:40] hydrogen: the source is there, if you want to make it better, then make it better [22:40] leo_rockw: right, but even if I don't make it better it doesn't stop it from being stupid [22:41] MilitantPotato: its been working fine. [22:41] hydrogen: if you don't make it better, then don't complain [22:41] logic is good. [22:41] leo_rockw: No, I'm free to complain about it. [22:41] hydrogen: the program is not stupid if it works for others [22:41] leo_rockw: if I choose to [22:41] leo_rockw: err, let me bring up windows again? [22:41] 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] hydrogen: i never called windows stupid [22:41] leo_rockw: nope, but we all think it [22:41] I did. [22:41] hydrogen: so your logic ends there [22:41] hydrogen: this is OT anyway [22:41] hydrogen: i don't [22:41] leo_rockw: at least my logic started somewhere. [22:41] anyways [22:41] off topic [22:41] lets move on [22:42] tilt: tar packs and unpacks files, you can do that with sudo, it's not impossible. Someone gave you bad info. [22:42] hydrogen: mine too: you don't like the program, don't use it, but don't complain [22:42] I thought windows is stupid was a statement... not like, a question or an opinion. [22:42] i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm and chose KDM, lets see if that works :) [22:42] ones free to have an opinion without 1000000 LOC to back it up. [22:42] and ones free to express that opinion [22:42] hydrogen: not when you're complaining about someone's hard work [22:42] tilt: I'd think you'd need to build it if it's a source file [22:42] if you complain to make things better, fine. if not, your complain is useless [22:42] Sooooo why is my drive considered "busy" by qtparted? [22:43] Hi, anyone knows how to install Xmule? [22:43] leo_rockw: even if its useless (in your opinion) its still my (or whoevers) opinion [22:43] ubuntu: cos it's mounted? [22:43] MilitantPotato: ok and how i do that? [22:43] ubuntu chances are it's mounted [22:43] hydrogen: then say "it doesn't work for me" [22:43] MilitantPotato: I tried umount -a [22:43] hydrogen: that doesn't make the program stupid [22:43] !source [22:43] 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] leo_rockw: no, programs can be stupid and still work for me [22:43] hmm [22:43] MilitantPotato: nor do i see it when i do 'mount' [22:44] programs stupidity (how they are designed) is orthagonal to their functionality [22:44] hello all [22:44] im on a live disc, trying to erase my old linux partition so i can make a new one [22:44] hydrogen: the program works for everyone except for ubuntu [22:44] Thanks! [22:44] leo_rockw: I highly doubt that as well. [22:44] i dont doubt it, that happens a lot [22:44] !build [22:44] Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!) [22:44] hydrogen: i haven't heard any other reasonable complain other than ubuntu's "this program is stupid" [22:44] can someone help a noob connect to his external usb drive? [22:44] tilt: read that link [22:45] if your complain is something like "the program is not working well because of so and so" that's a complain [22:45] i'm reading it [22:45] otherwise you're just trolling === squish is now known as squishich [22:45] yadda yadda. When am i going to get this stupid thing installed... [22:46] ubuntu: welcome to my ignore list [22:46] How about QTParted should have an 'unmount' option, and it should handle ext3 like gparted? Or how about, we should have gparted on the live cd instead of this old thing? [22:46] ubuntu: try swapoff -a [22:46] hmm [22:46] ok lets see [22:47] E: Unable to find a source package for poweriso.tar.gz [22:47] can someone help a noob connect to his external usb drive? [22:47] errr [22:47] plug it in [22:47] and then [22:47] tilt: did you change the directory to your folder?

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] So, thanks again everyone [22:53] That is why I love this community ^^ [22:54] nick_: the community needs more people like you [22:54] do i have to configure anything special to access my external usb drive? [22:55] Agreken, no, it should be recognized when you plug it in... a dialog should pop up with options [22:57] any suggestions if it doesn't? [22:57] hmm.. well, if it doesn't for me it usually means I plugged the sd card in upside down in my reader ;) [22:57] but I think I had an issue otherwise a while ago.. [22:58] tilt: no idea man, It's not working for me either. [22:58] help, my kubuntu doesnt pass the login window, it always says my password is wrong, im sure its right... [22:59] Agreken, are you familiar with dmesg in the terminal? === ubuntu is now known as FroggyTheGreat [23:00] So...How much space does 7.10 need? [23:01] FroggyTheGreat, which install are using ? [23:01] you [23:01] The standard Kubuntu 7.10 livecd. [23:01] 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] FroggyTheGreat, and what kinds of apps do you intend to use [23:01] ok, let me check that [23:02] Just general office and puttering-around stuff - no huge games or anything. === jan-eike is now known as squish2 [23:03] anyone really familiar with dpkg? [23:03] 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] !dpkg [23:03] dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. [23:03] im having a problem removing a package [23:04] I've got a 108gb drive. I'm going to mount /home on the partitiion left from whatever the system gets. [23:04] would it be ok if i pasted a small terminal output? [23:04] jjones: it looks like everything is loading correctly. how do I navigate to it? [23:04] FroggyTheGreat, you got lots then: :) [23:04] Basically, I can't find the "Minimum System Requirements" page and I'm looking around. [23:05] lounge-about: general rule of thumb is: one or two lines is fine, more than that you should pastebin it [23:05] Looks like a 30gb system partition should be plenty then? [23:05] Agreken, it should be in /media/disk/ the dmesg might tell you where it was mounted otherwise.. /media/camera etc [23:05] BluesKaj: 30gb for multimedia? i would have to delete about 400gb of stuff >_> [23:06] Basically, anything that I don't want destroyed if I have to wipe and reinstall is going on the non-system partition. [23:07] Daisuke_Laptop, wasn't alking about storage , just a 'working' type partition...was assuming he was gonna dual boot with windows [23:07] Areken, dmesg just shows which device I guess.. sda sdb etc.. typing mount will sho you if it was mounted. [23:07] !convert [23:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about convert - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:07] jjones, it doesn't look like it ever mounts. it sees it, but no mount messages [23:07] Agreken, does /dev/sdb ( or whatever dmesg said it was) show up when you type mount? [23:08] jjones, no, only /dev/sda1 [23:08] faires, convert what ? [23:08] BluesKaj: an mpeg-avi to 3gp [23:08] (The cell phone format) [23:09] I found ffmpeg [23:09] Agreken, dmesg showed the usb drive as sdb correct? [23:09] But the adept install doesn't recognize .3gp support [23:09] The adept install of ffmpeg, I mean [23:09] Agreken, if you type sudo pmount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk what happens? [23:09] jjones, however, i see one that says "proc on /proc type proc" which is what the drive shows up as in System Settings [23:10] Agreken, hmm.. proc is another thing entirely ( you can see system process info there) [23:11] is there a udev on /dev line ? [23:11] "pmount: command not found" [23:11] did you do sudo pmount? [23:11] yes [23:11] faires, 3X 3GP Video Converter at http://www.3gp.com/ [23:11] "udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755) [23:12] faires, prolly have to run it in wine [23:13] Doesn't have a free version? [23:13] dunno [23:13] teh udev line is correct. udev is what should be mounting the usb key for you. [23:13] :( [23:13] Thanks a lot, anyway [23:13] do a google [23:13] try sudo apt-get install pmount [23:13] I need to go soon.. [23:14] jjones installing now [23:14] are the missing samba packages a common topic today for 7.10? [23:14] then try the pmount command again [23:15] brb [23:15] jjones, Error: device /dev/sdb1 is not removable [23:15] mount [23:15] mt [23:15] ahh.. what did dmesg say === dresken_ is now known as Dresken [23:16] sdb: Write Protect is off [23:16] [63192.372000] sdb: Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 [23:16] [63192.372000] sdb: assuming drive cache: write through [23:16] [63192.372000] sdb: sdb1 [23:16] [63192.376000] sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb [23:16] keeps saying something about it being SCSI, which it isnt [23:16] sdc? [23:16] When I try to run the synaptic package manager I get an error saying "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. " [23:16] Any idea how to resolve this issue? [23:17] it is a scsi device in this case.. [23:17] or at least it uses the scsi driver or something.. [23:17] do you get a line like this: sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb [23:18] hi. i'm trying to emulate N64 games with mupen64 and kamefu but neither of them is working. i downloaded roms, unzipped them in a folder and kamefu doesn't even see the files. mupen64 sees the files but does nothing with them. could someone help me work this out please ? [23:18] Dresken: run 'dpkg --configure -a' ? [23:19] no, I see usb 3-2: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 12 [23:19] Ok folks I am having trouble getting printer sharing set up with an XP machine. I have tried to follow a thing I found online but kde must be a bit different. Anyone able to walk me through it quickly? [23:19] and usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [23:19] cpk1: I did, but it didn't do anything [23:19] and [23:19] usb 3-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [23:19] [11041.624000] scsi12 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices [23:19] Agreken, are you using a hub? [23:20] no, laptop tho, if that matters [23:20] Dresken: didnt give you any output just line returned? [23:21] hi. i'm trying to emulate N64 games with mupen64 and kamefu but neither of them is working. i downloaded roms, unzipped them in a folder and kamefu doesn't even see the files. mupen64 sees the files but does nothing with them. could someone help me work this out please ? [23:22] compilerwriter: iirc kde has a very easy wizard to set it up... [23:22] compilerwriter,to which OS is the printer connected / [23:22] Nevermind, fixed it, thanks anyway cpk1 :) [23:22] Agreken, nothing more after the "emulation for USB Mass Stor.." line? [23:22] BluesKaj and cpk1 the printer is currently connected to Kubuntu. [23:23] I need to share it with XP machines. I had it connected to an XP machine and then shared it with my Kubuntu box but that XP machine took a crap on me and now I have it working for Kubuntu but need to share it with the wifes lappy. [23:23] Agreken, if you type lsmod | grep usb-storage wht do you get? [23:24] Agreken, sorry.. lsmod | grep usb_storage [23:24] with an underscore.. not dash [23:25] hi there, anyone can help me with some problem updating the samba packages? 403 forbidden message [23:25] right in the middle of the upgrade to gutsy [23:25] compilerwriter, it's best to setup printer sharing from the windows machine so it can search for it on the network [23:25] Hi HeiKu .. I came on here for the same reason.. someone made a mistake and the files aren't accessable.. we might just have to wait until someone with permissions to change them finds out. [23:26] jjones, 5 lines of stuff [23:26] compilerwriter: go to the kmenu then system settings then printers and then in the pulldown menu "print server" then share printer on local network i think [23:26] accessible.. argh.. anything listed as changed today here: http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/s/samba/ [23:26] usb_storage 73024 0 [23:26] scsi_mod 147084 6 sbp2,sr_mod,sg,sd_mod,usb_storage,libata [23:26] Agreken, that's good.. at least the kernel module is loaded then. [23:27] scsi_mod 147084 6 sbp2,sr_mod,sg,sd_mod,usb_storage,libata\ [23:27] cpk1 now that I have told it to share with the network how do I go about finding it on the XP box? [23:28] hi. i'm trying to emulate N64 games with mupen64 and kamefu but neither of them is working. i downloaded roms, unzipped them in a folder and kamefu doesn't even see the files. mupen64 sees the files but does nothing with them. could someone help me work this out please ? [23:30] cpk1, has a good point ...my setup is that both kubuntubox and windows both share a router and the printer is USB connected to the windows box . Since Kubuntu easily recognizes HP printers , it's a breeze to setup even a network printer from the kubuntubox. [23:30] !patience | ariane [23:30] ariane: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [23:31] Agreken, try running udevmonitor and then plug in the memory card. [23:32] hi all I need some help.. if possible.. to install the new beta of skype? [23:32] jjones, ok, printed a lot of stuff to the screen [23:32] hey, anyone know what the little window is called the shows info when you hover over an application in the panel? [23:32] UDEV [1195255920.191430] add /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1d.7/usb3/3-2/3-2:1.0/host13/target13:0:0/13:0:0:0 (scsi) [23:33] Agreken, what's the last line it printed? [23:33] UDEV [1195255920.289791] add /block/sdc/sdc1 (block) [23:33] compilerwriter, controlpanel / printers/ ...on the left hand column there should be an option "network printers" ..click on it and the wizard should pop up. [23:33] try sudo pmount /dev/sdc1 /media/disk [23:34] BluesKaj now I have to enter a url or something. [23:34] ok, no error message [23:34] Agreken, now try ls /media/disk [23:34] does windows wizaerd see the network printer? [23:34] anything there? [23:35] permission denied [23:35] Agreken, try sudo ls /media/disk === s_ is now known as shaffy [23:36] jjones, that worked! [23:36] cool, type sudo pumount /dev/sdc1 [23:36] yesterday i installed ubuntu studio on my lap. works really nice. right now ive just edited a track with Audacity which is a very respectable audio editor. the point here is .. how the fck can i convert a wav to mp3. any idea ? [23:36] done [23:36] then do the pmount without the sudo.. then you can get at it normally. [23:37] I'm not sure why it isn't mounting automatically for you.. but at least you can get at it now. [23:37] what kind of libraries do I need to install to run 32 bit software on the 64 bit [23:37] Agreken, make sure you do the unmount ( ie pumount ) before removing the device so that you don't lose any information. [23:37] compilerwriter, did you addprinter ? [23:38] jjones, cool! Thank you VERY much! [23:38] Agreken, I hope that works well enough for you now.. I need to go. [23:38] xristian: i think ´lame x.wav x.mp3´ or some such should do it [23:38] jjones, is there a reason it doesnt show up in Dolphin? [23:38] jjones, cool, thanks a lot!! [23:38] I'm not familiar with Dolphin.. [23:39] but you might just need to refresh it? [23:39] it's a graphical dir browser I assume? it does ring a bell.. [23:39] ok i ll try [23:39] new gui file browser in KDE [23:40] default browser witn 7.10 install [23:40] compilerwriter, this may help, http://www.le.ac.uk/cc/dsss/docs/print-con.shtml [23:40] Agreken, that's the bell it rang I guess. It should show up in there when you browse to /media/disk ... [23:40] I'm trying to install kubuntu gutsy, but X isn't starting for me, can drop into a command line and try to manually start X, but it still fails w/ an error about AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable [23:40] and I've tried just about everything I can think of, and it just is not starting [23:40] Agreken, ok, gotta move.. good luck... and don't forget to unmount befre you pull out the key if you've written to it at all. [23:41] can someone tell me how to completely (purge) my OpenOffice installation? i want to completely remove any trace of it and then reinstall it b/c i am having problems with it. [23:41] jjones, will do, thanks man [23:41] nothing in the log files either, I've tried disabling AIGLX and Compositing, still nothing, I'm running an ATI gfx card [23:41] pumount /dev/sdc1 or pumount /media/disk will both work. adios [23:42] For some strange reason my /var has started to get filled up by logs as large as 250mb... I deleted a couple of them but my /var is getting filled up again now. [23:42] GE, are you at the TTY prompt ? [23:42] yes [23:43] I have gotten kubuntu/ubuntu working on my laptop before, but I usually have to go and get the alternate install cd, and then also install the proprietary ATI drivers, and then X will start, but I don't have high-speed internet avaliable to me, so I'm trying to make the livecd work [23:44] !mp4 [23:44] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats === ubuntu is now known as mockus [23:44] GE, I suggest reconfiging xorg using the generic vesa driver for X , at least that should help load X and kubuntu: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [23:44] can someone tell me how to completely remove (purge) my OpenOffice installation? i want to completely remove any trace of it and then reinstall it b/c i am having problems with it.

[23:48] GE , perhaps you can edit Xorg , sudo cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf [23:49] BluesKaj, I don't think I want to cat it to edit it ;), but add what? [23:49] brb, dinner === GE is now known as GE_Food [23:49] try the ati driver [23:56] do anyone have any objections to install openoffice 2.3 on a kubuntu desktop? [23:57] its already installed..
