[00:00] Somebody told me that Ubuntu means "can't install Debian" is this true? [00:00] Sam1337, its african for Friends I think.. check ubuntu.org for the real info [00:01] I've been pronouncing Ubuntu wrong for ages and I've only just found out how to pronounce it lol [00:02] Sam1337: wrongly ;-) [00:02] Like all the ways people in the stores Pronounce 'linux' [00:02] Sam1337: and lol @ that explanation of Ubuntu :) [00:02] shaffy, ubuntu uses the gnome desktop , kubuntu uses the kde desktop , but both have the same name feisty or gutsy or whatever release and use the same 'kernel" [00:03] I pronounce Linux as lye nucks is that right? === neptunepink is now known as purpleposeidon [00:03] Linux is all about 'Layers and legos' :) [00:03] Layers of legos even.. [00:03] Sam1337: Linus himself pronounces it with a soft i, linn-ux [00:03] where lego = bits of software === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever [00:03] BluesKaj: thanks for the clarification. [00:03] Lynn-uxx [00:03] :) [00:03] Sam1337, no it's like lynn -ucks [00:03] so can i install openoffice2.3 from adept-manager? === ve7wnk is now known as wenko [00:04] !info open-office [00:04] Package open-office does not exist in gutsy [00:04] shaffy: Are you on Gutsy? [00:04] Why do so many people call it lynn -icks? [00:04] Linix ? :) [00:04] I got 403 forbidden errors when I tried to update! :O [00:05] yeah, heard that too [00:05] Because they are stupid I think. [00:05] a step below Minix? [00:05] Sam1337: because it rhymes with Unix and Minix better [00:05] purpleposeidon: so did the rest of us, calm down. [00:05] * purpleposeidon calms down [00:05] purpleposeidon: Lots of folks are getting the same error [00:05] !sambabug [00:05] A defect has been identified in a recent security update and as a result the associated packages have been taken offline.

[00:06] and that no LSB modules are available [00:07] shaffy: then you're on feisty [00:07] So, uhm, why don't the devs just hide the updates? [00:07] shaffy: 7.10 or 7.04? [00:07] purpleposeidon: add --fix-missing to your upgrade as the error suggests [00:07] 7.04 [00:07] purpleposeidon: that will make it ignore the offending packages [00:08] shaffy: Given the size of OO.o, if you want 2.3, I'd recommend upgrading to Gutsy. But, it's your call. [00:08] bah, --ignore-missing would be a better option name! :P [00:08] * Dr_willis pokes Minataku [00:08] purpleposeidon: well aren't you just a picky one today [00:08] shaffy: However, do not attempt to use gutsy sources in Feisty, that is dangerous [00:08] ardchoille: what's the advantage to Gutsy? [00:09] shaffy: updated packages [00:09] shaffy: I haven't seen any yet [00:09] ardchoille: new file browser [00:09] Gutsy is da latest and greatest. :) [00:09] well, other than newer versions of apps [00:09] Gutsy has compiz fusion :D [00:09] new kernel, new drivers, new porn,, err.. scratch that... [00:09] Sam1337: I wouldn't call that an "advantage" [00:09] Gutsy supports drive encryption :D [00:09] Dr_willis: hahaha [00:09] the addition of the Dolphin file browser is a big difference [00:10] jereme: No, I'm being practical. "--fix-missing" sounds like it would do something else [00:10] jereme, and its easy to FIX that :) [00:10] compiz runs like dog crap with KDE.... last I tried [00:10] !dolphin [00:10] Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [00:10] I have no real issues with compiz. (a few little bugs) [00:10] Dr_willis: I don't need to fix it.. I like dolphin better [00:10] * Dr_willis writes a perscription for jereme's head injury. [00:10] :) [00:10] purpleposeidon: i agree, but do you really want to help the user? :) [00:10] hahaha [00:10] can someone tell me how to upgrade to Gutsy then? [00:10] !info Gutsy [00:11] !upgrade [00:11] my X keep oepning vesa driver although xorg.conf was set to driver nvidia. Any idea? [00:11] Greenery, how do you know its using the vesa driver? [00:11] Package gutsy does not exist in gutsy [00:11] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [00:11] Greenery: get an nvidia card ;) [00:11] !dstats gutsy [00:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about dstats gutsy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:11] !vista [00:11] vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond.

[00:14] Sam1337: my apologies [00:14] just feeling a little loopy late on a friday [00:14] It's Saturday. [00:14] that's debatable [00:14] It's been Saturday for nearly 15 minutes now. === geleh is now known as GeLeH [00:14] i was trying to use the proprietery beta driver from nvidia for my 8800GT but X won't load dues to GLX error [00:14] and it will be saturday in 7 hours and 45 minutes [00:15] GMT man [00:15] so is Gutsy officially released for kubuntu? [00:15] shaffy: yup.. has been for a bit now [00:15] Why anybody would use any timezone other than gmt on a public irc channel is beyond my understanding. [00:15] jereme: it's just weird that my system didn't ask me to upgrade to [00:16] *to it [00:16] Sam1337: well the simple fact is that the sun isnt' down, and I don't work nights or weekends, and therefor it is not saturday morning for me [00:17] shaffy: see the upgrade link in the topic [00:17] Sam1337, most ppl like their time locally :) [00:17] Sam1337: though it would satisfy you if I used GMT, the other some odd thousand people in my life wouldn't so much appreciate the sudden change [00:18] so forgive me if I don't adjust for a channel full of people I don't know [00:19] and... scene. [00:19] bravo. [00:19] * jereme bows [00:20] anyone with Kubuntu and 8800GT here can use the latest beta driver from nvidia without any problem? [00:20] I got an 8800 - but dont use the latest beta. :) sorry [00:21] u got the GT? [00:21] i got a gtsxxx :) [00:21] and yes its called a XXX :P [00:21] heh okies [00:21] jereme: thanks. i'm on my way. [00:21] I think.. it may be a gtxxx [00:22] XFX card eh? [00:22] Of course theres the new 8800's comming oyut soon. [00:22] The 8800gt looks well good. I hope that nvidia makes a new driver compatable with it and while its at it they should open the source of their driver to. [00:22] yep. they had the best reviews at the time. [00:22] I wouldent hold your breath for the OpenSource part. :P [00:22] they've just released the beta driver for the 8800GT card, but seems like my X won't load after installing it [00:23] Is the fglrx driver open sourced yet? [00:23] Sam1337, not that i am aware of. [00:23] open sores [00:24] i thought they were working on some licensing changes.. but i did not think they were going opensourced. [00:24] But it will take a LOT of changes befor i ever buy an ati card again. [00:24] i have two xorg processes. any suggestions? [00:24] supposedly the newest ATI card is a big change [00:24] Rukus: using the new ATI drivers I take it? [00:24] no [00:24] using propritary with fglrx [00:25] built from the ati source drivers? [00:25] Ati cards are slower, noisier and hotter. [00:25] 8.43.2? [00:25] It will take more then just a few changes to get ATI back into my good graces. heh [00:25] built with the drivers that came with gutsy [00:25] Ah, no idea then. [00:25] 8.43.2 are suppsoed to be better are they not? [00:25] to fix my xorg problem i heard [00:26] but, i dont wanna get into something from one small thread [00:27] and of 512mb of ram, ubuntu uses it all [00:27] Sam1337, the restricted ati driver in gutsy works better on the low -end onboards , the 8.43 driver works best on higher end ati seperate graphics cards [00:27] is that normal? [00:28] BluesKaj so the 8.43 is open source then? [00:28] Hi All - anyone seen problems with update - like won't complete? [00:30] yup wait for the next update to fix that issue i guess [00:31] sounds like catch-22 [00:32] hola [00:33] oi [00:33] !sambabug | JavaMan [00:33] JavaMan: A defect has been identified in a recent security update and as a result the associated packages have been taken offline.

When Mapping a Drive to a SMB share in Dolphin I can't create files on the Share... But When using the Same Credentials on Konqueror it works just fine... [00:47] !d3lphin [00:47] Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [00:47] i recommend following that [00:47] because d3lphin is horrible. [00:47] mind you, once kde4 drops, you can use dolphin, which is a much much nicer experience [00:48] Well it seems to be a Bug in Dolphin.. That I can't copy files to a SMB share.. Of course I haven't tried doing the same to sftp [00:50] again, it isn't dolphin [00:50] dolphin works [00:50] d3lphin has actually been abandoned for some time, as i understand it [00:50] Minataku, did ya get the package? [00:50] Knoogle, ive had all sorts of issues with the dolphin manager. [00:51] Ahhh, Now I get it... The Backport sucks [00:51] Knoogle, for samba shares. You may want to try out that samba-fuse tool. it jiust seems to work better for me then the built in samba browser features of these filemanagers [00:52] Will do.. I was just wondering if I was doing something screwed... [00:52] How do I get the small volume control icon back in system tray? [00:53] run kmixer (i think) [00:53] kmix :) [00:54] Go To the Launcher --> Under Multimedia there is kmix Also [00:54] awsome, thanks.

[00:56] no GE , in xorg it's called ati , not fglrx [00:56] ForeverZero, i belive theres places other then MSN's lameing zone. :) [00:56] yeah, tired that already [00:56] *tried [00:57] error is "No devices detected" [01:00] I'm trying to make the kubuntu livecd start, I have a radeon FireGL V5200 (X1600) and X kinda starts, then crashes, when I try to just type 'startx' It load up so I get a mouse, can move the mouse around, then crashes back to the terminal.

[01:08] Where is the A1200? [01:08] its still looking for a decent box. the UPS store dident want me to use the other box i had. They got some stricter rules now. [01:08] Heh [01:08] and i got 3 box's of disks. [01:08] Coo [01:08] aparently paperwrapped box's is not a good thing to them. [01:08] Heh [01:09] But i DO rember one of those 500's working. I even played some game on it for about 10 min in the garrage befor i packed it up [01:09] paper fibers cause minute scratches on discs [01:09] Hm [01:10] Well, when I tried them, neither were [01:10] And I've stripped one for parts [01:10] bummer. Its hard to tell if the PS's are good either. since they got no fans. [01:10] Since it was a total mess [01:10] Yep. :) that was the parts machine. [01:10] Bingo [01:10] I got a CD32 also i need to pack up [01:10] It's keyboard was nice, though [01:10] In fact, I swapped the keyboard out of the messy one into the good one [01:11] Its just sad that C= never really did use normal PC keybsards.. Actually the CD32 CAN use a PS2 keyboard. [01:11] and Mouse I think. [01:11] It was in pretty nice condition, unlike the rest of the parts machine XD [01:11] well, gonna watch some tv for a while ...BBL [01:11] But I do have an ultrawide DIP-64 68000 in my collection now :D [01:11] But the CD32 is missing its PS. but it does have a CD and with a parnet cable you can get the other amigas to use the cd. [01:12] Coo [01:12] Been doing the rounds at work looking for another nice cardbord box. [01:12] Heehee, thx ^^ [01:13] It sat here boxed up for like 3 weeks.. then one day i tripped over it as i was going to the grocery store. :) [01:14] where do I modify media keys? [01:14] on the keyboard [01:14] hi everyone [01:14] ı want to ask sth. [01:15] is there anyone who use groovy & grails [01:15] what the heck is Grovy and Grails? [01:16] it is agile web development tool [01:20] i think no one knows :( [01:21] It sounds like one of those lousy Web 2.0 dev things like "Ruby on Rails" [01:21] They're extremely poor [01:21] realy ? [01:21] why ? [01:21] I would suggest not using them at all unless your project will only be used by a small amount of users [01:21] Ruby on Rails in particular doesn't scale well at all [01:22] groovy & grails is design for java platform and seems like ruby on rails [01:22] did you use any of them minataku ? [01:23] No, but I know of a project that basically collapsed because of Ruby on Rails' poor scalability [01:23] Twas called "Danbooru" [01:23] Eventually the whole thing had to be rewritten from scratch without using Ruby at all [01:24] hımm thanks alot minakatu [01:24] The number of people using the app caused the server, a quad-core monsterbox to flail like a PC/XT [01:24] lol [01:25] np [01:25] That said, I know nothing about the one you mentioned [01:25] It may be good, but Java isn't known for being incredibly fast, especially in web applets [01:27] for the grails framework the developers develop a new language wihich's syntax is similar to [01:27] java [01:27] when i upgrade, everything will upgrade except something with samabia if i try to upgrade it i get an error [01:27] and its called [01:27] groovy [01:27] its like ruby [01:27] everything will upgrade except sambia [01:27] Python is better [01:27] !sambabug | maduser [01:27] maduser: A defect has been identified in a recent security update and as a result the associated packages have been taken offline.

[02:07] (the way the numbers go is the year.month of release. so 7.10 means it got released in October of 2007) [02:08] I see, I was confused 'cause on the site it said the the release before it was 4.sometime, well that explains it.

I preserved his home directory. Everything works fine except when a cd or any external medium is put in, he gets a double pop up asking what he wants to do. How do i make this behave normally?

[02:33] so kde4-beta 3 packages were available the day kde4-beta3 was announced. kde4-beta4 was announced before halloween, are there no plans to release packages for beta4? can't seem to find any forum posts with answers other than 'compile it', which I guess is an option. [02:33] i think there is something left over from the suse home partition that is messing with things,. just need to know what to delete.. Anyone got a real answer? [02:34] i was just making sure you weren't trying to run windows [02:34] lemme think for a second [02:34] ah [02:34] is the disc reading at two mount points? [02:34] that could possibly explain it [02:34] hang on, let me check the fstab === sammy-afk is now known as sammy [02:35] no. Example: i put in a thumb drive, i get two windows asking what i want to do with it. [02:35] two copies of the same window, i'm assuming [02:35] yes, except one has a (2) in the titlebar [02:36] right [02:36] hmm [02:36] i should probably use kde more than i do [02:36] i would be more useful in this [02:36] sherwin: when you say preserved, how exactly did you go about that? did the user log into kde before you copied over ~/.kde, or was it in place before he logged in the first time? [02:36] but, not knowing what suse puts in its home partition... [02:37] are there any other users on the machine that you can login and try to duplicate the behavior? that'll at least narrow it down to his personal settings. [02:37] i left the /home partition intactr, formatted the root partition, performed a clean install and mounted the old home partition, using the same username [02:37] and the kde versions were identical? [02:37] probably not... everything else works fine, though. I assume there is one config file i need to delete and let kde rebuild it on next boot [02:38] that's really weird. maybe try grepping everything in ~/.kde for things like mount or whatever the device name is, like cdrom or sda1 [02:39] sammy: can you help me with formatting? not usre how to use grep [02:42] check ~/.kde/config/medianotifierrc [02:43] that seems like the place to start. btw grep is "grep string file" so "grep mount *" or "grep mount * */* */*/*" etc. there's probably a better way of searching recursively, using 'for each' or some such [02:43] konversation won't allow me connect to other servers! Why ? anybody knows how to correct that? [02:44] oh. grep -r checks recursively. [02:44] * sammy pets the manpage [02:44] Kalamarenku: how are you trying to connect to other servers? [02:44] by using the command /server eu.undernet.org [02:44] * Jucato throws an -i at sammy too [02:45] Kalamarenku: I don't think that really is a command that Konversation recognizes. Have you tried File -> Quick Connect? [02:45] it works with mIRC in windows.. ssame system ... it should work on konversation too [02:45] jucato yes [02:46] oops sorry bout that [02:48] Kalamarenku, konversation requires manual server setup [02:48] ok did that [02:48] and yes it recognizes the command [02:49] it works fine for freenode [02:49] * Jucato can connect to other servers, but not with the /server command [02:49] freenode is the default konversation server [02:50] i know === sammy is now known as sammy-afk === ubuntu is now known as FroggyTheGreat [02:55] I've got some install questions, if anyone can help... [02:56] My volume keys still won't work, I can't even get them to bind now :( [02:56] if i hit the volume up key my curser flashes when it's in a text window [02:56] i really like kde [02:56] it's registering a keypress but it's obviously confused as to which [02:56] gparted made my new partition ext2, but my data partition is already ext3. Is there a difference I'd notice?

You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [02:57] !ext2 [02:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about ext2 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:57] try googling EXT3 vs EXT2 [02:59] Got it. ext3 is ext2 with journaling. [02:59] Considering how often I hit that bad memory sector and freeze, I want ext3. [03:01] this is frustraiting [03:02] i can bind all the other media keys to volume up and down, just not the ones that worked earlier today [03:04] Nothing quite like that moment of terror when you hit "install" and wonder "I did pick the right partition to format, right?" [03:04] heh [03:05] ...even though I double-checked. [03:06] yea [03:07] I whiped about 4 years of pictures e-books and random stuff I'd gathered doing htat [03:07] yech. [03:07] always make backups.. [03:08] Backups, by and large, are made. [03:16] well [03:16] with xev it's registering a keypress [03:17] KDE is just ignoring it, lovely. === andy_ is now known as BigIron === czessi_ is now known as Czessi === blendtux is now known as blendtux-away [03:32] meh. [03:33] Anyone have an idea why xev registers my volume up and down, but I can't bind them in Kmix [03:33] mute works fine though. [03:35] #singles [03:35] #singles [03:41] My motherboard (a8v deluxe) has a built in sound card. In the BIOS it's disabled, it seems that Kubuntu is ignoring BIOS settings and re-enabling the onboard card (VIA 8237), however I also have a SBLive! card installed. I want to use the SBLive! as my main card and disable the Via 8237 entirely. How would I go about doing this? I have no sound output at all from the SBlive!. [03:42] Help!

[04:03] perhaps in backports. :) but normally ubuntu does updates every 6 mo. [04:10] :( [04:11] willis any idea why KDE would ignore a keypress? [04:12] Never noticed. :) it may be more of an X issue then KDE. [04:12] MilitantPotato: what you mean by ignore [04:12] it's being detected with xev [04:12] But i do seem to recall my laptop/media keys doing that XF86 Raise/Lower stuff.. and they worked. [04:12] Well, I can't bind them to volume up and down [04:12] roger [04:13] I got a knob on my speakers. :) so i dont mess with the stuff much [04:13] i wonder if the thing would work properly with gnome.

[04:25] I am chatting in Kubuntu ! [04:25] then it's not an app problem :) [04:25] yes... [04:25] it is veeery strange though [04:26] very :/ [04:26] does anyone know how to make kubuntu start without starting the Xserver [04:26] yes that's strange [04:27] removing kdm? [04:27] no, just not starting xserver [04:27] nah, that'd be too much :) [04:27] Tann: permanently or temperately? [04:27] Tann: just remove the executable bits on /etc/init.d/kdm [04:27] "temporarily" [04:27] yeah :p [04:27] crimsun: is that even recommended? [04:28] Jucato: no [04:28] update-rc.d is the recommended way [04:28] well, i mean so that i can start it manually. I guess i do the /etc/init.d/kdm [04:28] crimsun: oooh where did you buy that hat? or does it come w/ shipit? :) [04:28] stdin: update-rc.d will cause the reinstallation of that file on upgrades.

[04:29] Tann: removed the links that run the script at startup (and shutdown) [04:30] s/removed/removes/ [04:30] stdin: not in my experience. [04:30] stdin: thanks a bunch [04:30] ie: the ones in /etc/rc.?/?kdm [04:30] (silly upstart!) [04:31] i use dhclient to grab an ipaddress when i boot up, when i right click on my knetwork manager it doesn't show any available wireless networks, any idea why it wouldn't be displaying anything? [04:32] can you check which ports are blocked in Ubuntu ? [04:32] i also tried to remove an applet from the panel and accidentallly clicked on something (not sure what) and all my open applications disapeared from the panel. does anyone know how to get them back? I added window list manager and it works but it's not the same thing [04:33] no ports are blocked by default [04:33] damn it [04:33] then it is my freakin ISP [04:33] ports are usually blocked by the router [04:33] you need to configure port forwarding [04:33] Kalamarenku: have you tried connecting to a specific port when you connect to other IRC servers? by default I think Kubuntu uses 8001 [04:33] Jucato: thank you. [04:34] MilitantPotato: did the link help? [04:34] yep, I'm at a loss why the volume controls broke but the rest didn't [04:34] :) [04:34] Jucato: undernet uses ports 6667-7000 [04:34] Kalamarenku: try connecting w/ port 6667 [04:35] did that also [04:35] that would be a possible cause :) [04:35] and 6668-6669-7000 [04:35] yes, I am almost sure it is the ISP has the ports blocked [04:37] if there's just 2 MB of RAM available, will newer apps start slower, than they actually do?

[04:37] not noticeablly slower, unless you're running out of swap too === Aresilek is now known as Aresilek|Videos [04:38] (and we're missing detail whether there's a considerable amount that's freeable, e.g., dcache) [04:38] hmm, well, they appear to do so for me.. [04:38] grr, sory to ask this again [04:38] but what was the comand that i was told [04:38] Mem: 1509 840 669 <-- does not imply that I can only start an app with a footprint smaller than 669 MB. [04:38] Tann: sudo update-rc.d kdm remove [04:38] thx [04:39] -/+ buffers/cache: 251 1258 <-- it's more realistically closer to 1258 MB [04:39] hmm, does Konqueror has a "Window" menu in the menu bar? [04:40] have* [04:40] not that I can see [04:40] Konqueror has. but Kubuntu's Konqueror doesn't :) [04:41] Jucato: ah, ok. [04:41] a.k.a. vanilla Konqueror has [04:41] so that's a "yesno" [04:41] hmm [04:41] "okcancel" [04:41] ubunturos: most of the entries under the Window menu can be reached via right-click on the status bar [04:41] * ubunturos was going through the KDE QUickstart guide (for tips) and found that Konqueror should have Window-Show terminal emulator [04:42] ubunturos: press F8 [04:42] Jucato: F8 works, right click doesn't :-? [04:42] hm? [04:42] F8 = Show terminal emulator (embedded terminal) [04:42] Jucato: right click only offers, split views [04:43] right-click on status bar = split views [04:43] yes, I did say "most" entries in the Window menu, not *all* [04:43] Jucato: oops, sorry. [04:45] !dolphin [04:45] Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [04:45] ubunturos: well, basically the Window has 3-4 sets of entries. The first set is for splitting views, which can be reaches via right-click on the status bar or keyboard shortcuts (my favorite) [04:45] Jucato: hmm, thanks.

[05:41] gracias [05:43] ectospasm: Adept, and any app that you run with sudo/kdesu (root) uses a different theme from normal users. it just so happens that it's configured to use the same initial theme as the default initial theme for all users. once you change a user's theme, Adept won't automatically adjust unless you change it yourself [05:43] Jucato: it did exhibit proper behavior before, but somehow it switched...

Thanks for the tip on the cdrom. [05:49] Jucato wasn't helpful. He identified the problem but not a solution... how do I get adept (or any kdesu program) to choose my user theme? [05:49] * Jucato was just pointing out that it's not really a "problem". but fine.... [05:49] you need to set the theme as the root user. use kdesu to run the kde theme selection tool. [05:50] its not a problem. :) the root user has his own settings. [05:50] people nowadays... [05:50] I perfer my root user to have a BRIGHT RED theme. :) so i know what programs are getting ran as root. [05:50] its actually a feature and a benefit to running a multiuser system :) [05:50] "kdesu systemsettings" and get done with it. [05:50] * Jucato is done here as well [05:51] onec ya get used to the idea of a actual multiuser system. and the linux fundamentals. :P [05:51] like windows 98 ? [05:51] like DOS! :) [05:51] hmm [05:51] lol [05:52] Windows 98 was pretty sweet [05:53] xp is good [05:53] xp pro 64 [05:53] never crashes man [05:53] !windows [05:53] For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents [05:55] heh [05:56] windows 98 + AD client is pretty sweet [05:56] Thanks guys... that worked (and gave me a good idea) [05:56] could someone please tell me the command to find out which release i have? (gutsy, feisty, etc) [05:57] so i can just apt-get -m upgrade [05:57] matt__, sudo apt-get -m dist-upgrade [05:57] shaffy, `lsb_release -a` [05:57] Hey, I'm having trouble Compiling a program from source, it's the gimp normal map plugin.. Here's the error I get http://pastebin.com/m67f8e20b [05:57] In fact, I haven't gotten one program to compile correctly. it bothers me :\ [05:58] can someone help me install kubuntu to my comp please [05:58] rdvon, do you have "build-essential" installed? [05:58] ubuntu, what seems to be the problem? [05:58] Nickpresta, one sec. I'll try it. [05:58] NickPresta: thanks bro. [05:58] its asking for some host file at the install [05:58] im new at linux [05:58] Haha, I didn't thanks! [05:59] So much better to get help here than at #ubuntu >.> [05:59] ubuntu, specific error messages are helpful. Screenshots too, if they will help explain your problem in greater detail. What exactly is the problem? What stage of the install does the installer ask you? [05:59] I'm still getting the same error it seems. [05:59] can i PM u? [05:59] ubuntu, sure [06:00] Yeah.. nick, that Didn't work, same error. :( [06:01] rdvon, gimme one sec [06:01] sorry nick but it said it blocked from private messages [06:01] oK. [06:01] thanks. [06:01] where would i find the md5sum of the kubuntu desktop cd iso? [06:01] ubuntu, you need to have a registered nickname, I believe [06:01] ok [06:01] ubuntu, you can type up your question and such in a pastebin and post it here. We will read it [06:01] !pastebin | ubuntu [06:01] ubuntu: 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) [06:02] NickPresta will that perform version upgrade? The manual leads me to believe it is just an upgrade of the current packages [06:02] What problem is he having? the kubuntu install is pretty straight forward.. [06:02] matt__, oh, you are upgrading to gutsy? I would wait a couple days then. [06:03] k [06:03] tip of the spear u know [06:03] chases -rHEAD [06:03] at install , its at a partition stage, its says " no root system is defined'....'please correct this from the partitioning menu [06:04] Are you trying a dual boot? [06:04] yea [06:04] Oh. [06:04] Well, you might need to resize your windows (ntfs) partition.. is that the problem? [06:04] to give space for kubuntu. [06:05] im doing it to an external drive..... [06:05] or delete it :-/ [06:05] ah [06:05] it should ask you which hard drive to install too. [06:05] yea it did [06:05] i selected the drive [06:05] Oh. [06:06] Nothing on it? [06:06] and i select te type and mounting and all of that [06:06] and then i get that error [06:06] no [06:06] Hmm.. [06:06] Ask nick ;) [06:06] yea [06:06] nick?? [06:06] Nickpresta [06:07] Where'd he go anyways... [06:07] I'm still having problems compiling ;( [06:07] beats me... [06:07] Well. [06:07] What was the host file? [06:07] Name? [06:07] me? [06:07] Yeah.. whatever that error was.. [06:07] :P [06:08] it says " no root file system defined" [06:08] i dont know what it wants [06:08] One sec. [06:08] ok [06:08] ubuntu: did you set a / mount point? [06:08] yea [06:08] rdvon, according to INSTALL, you need to have the -dev packages for glib2, gtk+ and gimp. Do you have those? (libglib2.0-dev, libgtk1.2-dev,libgimp2.0-dev) [06:09] ubuntu: did you set a filesystem type? [06:09] ubuntu, you should have created a root partition (of what ever size). You should have formatted it as ext3 or the filesystem of your choice. You should then, on the next screen, set that partition (sda4, for example) to / [06:09] yea [06:10] I was just about to say that ;) [06:10] it didnt go to a next screen [06:10] i got the error [06:10] The mount it to / part.. [06:10] yea [06:10] Have a great night. [06:10] ubuntu: are you marking it bootable? [06:10] if he had fdisked the disk and changed the partitions about. Ive had to 'reboot' some machines. other wise the kernel sees the older partiotion layout. [06:10] where? [06:11] If this is relevant at all... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=416154 [06:11] Seems to do the trick for most people. [06:11] Dr_willis: I've seen that too, come to think of it [06:12] Now... My compiling woes :( [06:12] anyone know alien arena well? [06:12] inversekinetix: it's *ok* try urban terror though. [06:12] or sauerbraten :) [06:13] rdvon how do you update the game? [06:13] rdvon, according to INSTALL, you need to have the -dev packages for glib2, gtk+ and gimp. Do you have those? (libglib2.0-dev, libgtk1.2-dev,libgimp2.0-dev) [06:13] im still lost here [06:13] Tremulus is fun.. but makes me puke. :) [06:14] ubuntu: did you take Dr_willis' advice and reboot the system after the repartitioning? [06:14] ubuntu, its possible you need to reboot.. and restart the installer and tell it where to put / [06:14] Say *NO* to tremulous :P [06:14] its already partitioned [06:14] I normally just leave a large part of the hd Unallocated. [06:14] i just select the partition [06:14] no? [06:14] urT ftw! [06:14] NickPresta: I think that should make it work.. [06:14] ubuntu, IF youjust changed the partitionlayouts. the kernel MAY be confused. reboot to be doubly sure its ok withthe disk layout. [06:15] i have been rebooting a couple of times... [06:15] Of course it may be you are just not setting the partitions/mount point propery then. [06:15] some failed updates seem to be blocking any further invocation of any installation commands - how do I clear this? [06:15] i looked at snapshots online...and it look right [06:15] i dunno :( [06:15] jetsaredim, wait a day or 2 and try again. [06:15] what failed updates?

[06:30] crazypoultry: that sounds great [06:30] Unless you know you need more for / [06:30] of course ya could always do some tweaking later. [06:30] 10gb ought to be good enough [06:31] 0k.

[07:48] maybe it's just a false alarm, i think [07:50] i have to believe 7.10 software is completely free from virus, nomatter which server it's from [07:50] hi kras. If commandline ''lspci'' shows 0x0c45:0x613c then you're lucky. yo can see your webcam on http://mxhaard.free.fr/spca5xx.html [07:56] did anyone have similar problems with i had with abiword? === mwilliam is now known as Nikio === Nikio is now known as Nikio_ [07:59] disw: considering that this is #kubuntu, where most people would presumably either be using KOffice (KWord) or OpenOffice, I think the chances of finding a fellow abiword user here is very slim [07:59] disw: I recommend asking in #ubuntu or #gnome [08:00] yeah i guess you're right [08:01] in konq, you can sftp? [08:01] Ahmuck: yes [08:02] sftp:// [08:02] 7joi [08:04] i forget, there is some other commapnd for ssh? [08:04] How do i add programs to my pkg_config? [08:05] It says this: Package gtkglext-1.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. [08:05] Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtkglext-1.0.pc' [08:05] to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable [08:05] what does it mean? [08:29] if i have an archive RAR and in windows i packed it with password how can unpack it using that pass? cuz there is only option to extract [08:29] i know pass but don't know where to type it ? ;] [08:30] w/ what program are you trying to unpack it? [08:30] combinio: try doing it from Konsole instead of in Ark. in konsole, type: unrar -x filename.rar [08:30] and where pass? :) [08:30] er... [08:31] unrar x filename.rar [08:31] Jucato: I guess, if using unrar, the x option is rather superfluous.. [08:31] vzduch: ark :) [08:31] it would prompt you for the password I tihink [08:31] Jucato: oka, lets's see [08:31] on the cmdline it does.. at least w/ the non-free rar [08:31] vzduch: no. x is not an option/flag, but a command. [08:32] (could also be unrar e I think [08:32] WOOOOOOOOKS :d:d [08:32] thx Jucato ;)) [08:32] got that :P [08:32] sure [08:43] is anyone familar with mplayer?

Or else: In which channel would this question be posted better? [12:46] got a question, about kcron jobs, i am trying to setup a kcron job through the gui, and i think im setting it up right, the trial command i was trying to get kcron to run was /usr/bin/touch sample , but it doesnt seem to be executing. is that the wrong command to place into kcron or would i need something diffrent? [12:48] gorlak: you should be able to use touch in there. [12:49] Greenery - Is Skim what you are looking for? [12:49] hey guys whats the command to unmount a cdrom and how do i do it as root? [12:49] i did try Skim but seems like its not working [12:50] any detail documentation for skim? [12:50] well i set the cron job and it doesnt create the test file, is there a place i can look for error msges? that would give me a clue on why its not running [12:50] it appears to be running (appears) the other cron jobs that the system made just fine [12:51] gorlak: maybe try the test file with an absolute path to a directory you can write to? [12:51] system or root cron? [12:51] i mean root or user [12:52] tried that too, used this /usr/bin/touch /home/gorlak/sample that should work in kcron correct? [12:52] gorlak: yeah. That should work [12:52] i dont see why not [12:53] user cron [12:54] cron messages can be found in the syslog right? === ubuntu is now known as TimS [12:55] in /var/log/syslog [12:55] yeah [12:55] should say that it attempted to run it [12:56] output is up to to the cron entry/script to redirect/log the output of stderr/stdout [12:56] I imagine stdout/stderr could be sent to an email if cron can use sendmail [12:56] i dont see anything in the syslog that outright says error, [12:56] waltzingalong you around? [12:57] if it attempted to run the command, should it give the command? like i should see a line in the file somewhere that says /usr/bin/touch...etc [12:57] ? [13:00] hey guys how do i sort this and unmount my cd so i can eject it [13:00] only rout can unmount /dev/hdc from media/cdrom0 [13:00] use something like: /usr/bin/touch /home/gorlak/sample &> /home/gorlak/sample.log [13:01] ill put that in and try it, curious what does the &>/home/gorlak/sample.log do? make an output logfile or something for this cron job? [13:01] yep [13:01] http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Bash-Prog-Intro-HOWTO-3.html [13:02] !bash [13:02] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

Anyone else experiencing problems with knetworkmanager lately? I can only manually configure the interfaces. it doesn't "see"(dbus/hal?) when I stick in the ethernet cable and it doesn't list the available wireless-networks nearby, I can only "configure manually", I am using the latest gutsy gibbon. Thank you for your help. I would also like to give debug-output, just tell me where to get it. [13:05] hm, interesting since changing it to use the absolute dir, it seems to be creating the sample file. the only difference from before was i was changing the system time to come to that time period over and over again when it failed to make the file. i didnt think it would keep the cron job from not working. [13:06] thanks [13:14] network-manager problem: the systray icon doesn't list my wireless accesspoints nearby anymore and does not automatically detect the ethernet cable(and uses dhcp) to connect...

[15:50] ugh [15:50] thank [15:50] hi all [15:50] what's the ugh for? [15:50] Dresken, ntfs is fully supported by kernel [15:51] Daisuke_Ido, nevermind [15:51] ksal: since when? [15:51] Dresken, Daisuke_Ido: afaik, GParted should be able to do that [15:51] tilt: exactly. ./poweriso -? shows you how to use it [15:51] since long time [15:51] hello denzuko [15:51] really... [15:51] ntfs-3g [15:51] hi dt [15:51] nice it got no graphical interface... ok thx i understand now [15:51] Jucato: Well the option to create an ntfs partition is grayed out on GParted.. [15:51] Dresken, Daisuke_Ido: http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php [15:51] so it's not natively supported by the kernel [15:52] BluesKaj, still about adeptfix: I did what suggested. Now Adept manager opens WITHOUT asking for password. When trying to update a package it says there was an error with the package. [15:52] neat [15:52] however, why ntfs?

You can read/write from Windows to ext3 via http://www.fs-driver.org [15:52] Daisuke_Ido, it's just not compiled into kernel [15:53] TheGentleman: jump to konsole so you see adequate output. sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude -f install (update and fix any dependency errors) [15:53] !ntfs-3g [15:53] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

[17:00] I want to delete one file and replace it with another on the command line === denzuko_ is now known as pit_lane [17:00] just delete it and create a new file? [17:01] The new file already exists, its a back up, I want to restor it [17:01] Im in recovery mode [17:01] mv oldname newname [17:01] that "renames" a file [17:01] Thanks, that should do [17:02] Daisuke_Ido: have you launched alsamixer in Konsole, then made sure it works with each reboot --code: sudo alsactl store 0 [17:03] installed kubuntu dualboot with xp on T60p working like a charm [17:03] ubuzztu: you have a lenovo T60 thinkpad? === andreas_ is now known as andy_123 [17:03] yes [17:03] what's the best app to record analog audio on line-in ?

[17:04] ubuzztu: damn... I have the same notebook, with the external mouse. the mouse has a bug where in Windows and Linux it just takes off by itself... sucks hard core when playing games like Portal... it spins out... worse mouse ever [17:04] BluesKaj: Krecord [17:05] Hello, need some help [17:05] vbgunz: bummer...

[17:06] that's the only option - even after installing amarok-engines [17:06] Joti: imho, all the time spent on reinventing the wheel could have gone into fixing, enahcing and crushing bugs in Konqueror :( [17:06] Daisuke_Ido: have you tried installing alsa-oss? [17:07] vbgunz: dolphin isn't reinventing the wheel [17:07] more like breaking it [17:07] dolphin and konqueror serve two completely different purposes [17:07] Daisuke_Ido: it is a file manager no? [17:07] can anyone help with a failed upddate, left me with blank screen flashing cursor [17:07] adam: ctrl+alt+f2 do anything? [17:07] vbgunz: it's not a browser, and it's not as fine grained as konqueror [17:07] adam: from feisty to gutsy? [17:07] dont like dolphin [17:07] adam: what you don't like is d3lphin [17:07] Daisuke_Ido: yeah Dolphin is for those who should be on Gnome and Konqueror is for those who like KDE :) [17:07] yes, Ican get to tty [17:08] vbgunz exactly thats what [17:08] I have a problem. I cannot start x at all. I installed the latest nVidia drivers, it worked, I restarted, nothing happend. I sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg and tried the nv and vesa drivers, what should I do? Can I make it automaticly redetect xorg.conf? It worked when i first installed Kubuntu [17:08] cannot boot to GUI [17:08] adam: have you tried to continue update? [17:08] need help installing kdm-theme-manager [17:08] Hey everyone, I'm doing a manual backup and I wanted to know if there is a way I can get the command line to display all the files created after a certain day [17:09] Daisuke_Ido: does amarok engines include alsa-oss? [17:09] i especially hate that there is now decent adress bar anymore but that gnome adress-click-o-bar-straight-frome-the-stoneage [17:09] vbgunz: no, and your attitude toward other DEs is despicable to say the least. wait for kde4 before passing judgement on dolphin, because what's in the repos right now? it sucks, and sucks hard. the actual dolphin is quite nice [17:09] Timmy|away: what do you when it comes to X? a blinking cursor or something? [17:09] Timmy|away: restore your backup. otherwise check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to find out why X failed. [17:09] checking for KDE... configure: error: [17:09] in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. [17:09] So, check this please and use another prefix! [17:09] Joti: it's a little more advanced than gnome's [17:09] WaltzingAlong: The backup doesnt work, Ill try again.

[17:11] can someone help me out? [17:11] it is installed, yes [17:11] Jucato: i only want ubuntu uses packagekit, if debian goes too packagekit too [17:11] Daisuke_Ido: the reason I switched to KDE was because of how much greater it really is. I say that after a year on Gnome and less than a year on KDE. I aint just dissing Gnome. truth is, Dolpin is so simple, that is the first impression I get from it. it doesn't belong in KDE. even if it had more options than Konqueror, what is the point in 2 file managers? why not 3 or 4 or 5? I think 1 is enough right now :) [17:11] vbgunz: have you used dolphin yet? [17:12] help with compiling errors [17:12] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44903/ [17:12] and linux = choice. more than one filemanager? sure! pick your favorite! [17:12] Tried dpkg --configure -a it finished installing packages and killed my boot into old kernel [17:12] emilsedgh: PackageKit isn't a replacement for .deb/APT [17:12] I used it for a little bit when setting up new accounts. I don't even switch it out for Konqueror becasue konqueror is my preference. the new accoutns I've set up I let stand and don't even mention konqueror. [17:12] Jucato: i know [17:12] Daisuke_Ido: what about grep 'audio' /etc/group [17:13] audio:x:29:sierra-x,writerone [17:13] ok [17:13] my first impression was: worst of osx (finder "click through multiple panels") , windows (strange usability), gnome (that adressbar) together in one thing...

I just see no point in introducing a new app that does the same thing and when compared is inferior to the latter [17:16] but of course emilsedgh [17:16] WaltzingAlong: so what do you think? [17:16] vbgunz: d3lphin is most definitely inferior to konqueror. dolphin is - depending on what you do. [17:16] it's not a browser [17:16] emilsedgh: just trying out an app here and there ... coming along nicely it seems [17:16] it doesn't need to be, though, it's *just* a file manager [17:17] Need help with compiling error with kdm theme manager [17:17] Gannondorf: is listening too difficult for you? [17:17] yes [17:17] WaltzingAlong: most of the apps except Konqueror, Kopete and 1-2 others are in a very good shape [17:17] Gannondorf: What's the error?

[17:55] #ubuntu-br [17:55] heinkel_111, yeah, my pc isn't exactly hiend audio wise ..realtek :) [17:55] BluesKaj i don't think the binary package will work out of the box, i think you must compile [17:57] i also have a realtek + a cheap audigy card, but on edgy (with an older version of same motherboard) nothing worked as far as sound recording, i switched to (insert name of alternative OS here) for that after much trouble [17:57] og course [17:57] now sound works fine [17:57] darryl: you could also ssh into the machine, launch tightvncserver, then vnc into that later, leaving it running (like nxserver can leave a session for later) [17:57] it was wine, i am an idiot, and bazhang, sorry for wasting your time :P [17:57] hey guys...i need some linux magic.....i have a websight here that i cannot use unless i have internet explorer 5....is there ANY way i can trick this websight into thinking that firefox is internet explorer....im using gutsy 64 [17:58] Daisuke_Ido: no waste here--you're not happy-we're not happy :} [17:58] heinkel_111: but the audigy drivers aren't that bad on linux. haven't had any recording issues since.. years.. [17:58] here is a question: when i now run sudo apt-get somepackage, the output always comes with " [17:58] Processing triggers for libc6 ... [17:58] ldconfig deferred processing now taking place [17:58] at the end [17:59] i cannot remember that from previous versions. what does it mean? [17:59] heinkel_111: that's a _good_ feature ;) [17:59] instead of running ldconfig after each package, packages trigger a single ldconfig run at the end of apt/aptitude etc. [17:59] seezer: I know, (concerning the audigy drivers), i assumed they were not the problem [18:00] seezer: in other words, it just report that it is doing the final set up? [18:00] so if you run apt-get upgrade or something you save 2*10²³ ldconfig runs which equals time which equals money ;) [18:00] how can i use kde4 [18:01] seezer: remember that it also relates to space, as there is no real distinction between time and space [18:01] ... [18:01] :) [18:01] DRtuxthepenguin: follow the instructions at kubuntu.org for installing kde4beta3 [18:01] is there a way for kde beta 4 [18:01] !info audacity [18:01] audacity: A fast, cross-platform audio editor.

[18:03] something like this.. [18:03] couple hours? depends on your system of course. DRtuxthepenguin; and no need to recompile each day [18:03] DRtuxthepenguin: it depends on your hardware [18:04] in addition to the time it takes to actually compile, you also have to download [18:04] 933Mhz [18:05] probably several (>6?) hours, i don't relly know [18:05] hi === andreas__ is now known as andy_123 [18:05] i will just wait till kubuntu people make kde4 beta 4 or when kde4 is out === GuyFromHell[AFK] is now known as GuyFromHell [18:06] !hardy [18:06] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [18:07] !kde4 [18:07] KDE 4 is the next major release of the K Desktop Environment.

The website may be coded poorly (non standard-compliant) so that it has a lot of errors and standards that only works with IE and fails other browsers [18:19] .. fatally [18:19] if it uses activex, you're pretty much SOL [18:20] or lucky [18:20] i see [18:20] changing the user agent string throught about:config isn't probably the best solution :/ [18:20] but what if it just redirects me to a flash video [18:20] -t [18:20] cuz i mean its just an online class [18:20] then i "might be able to pull it off?"

[18:33] DRtuxthepenguin: sudo is for cli apps, kdesudo is for gui apps (kdesudo sets up the environment better) [18:33] is kdesu like gksu [18:33] DRtuxthepenguin, I guess it's a good idea to launch nautilus with --no-desktop option [18:33] !info xfce-desktop [18:33] Package xfce-desktop does not exist in gutsy [18:33] !info xubuntu-desktop [18:33] xubuntu-desktop: Xubuntu desktop system.

[19:14] jpatrick: no, it definitely did... i installed the theme about a week ago, and just today i noticed there's no icon [19:14] the question is... adept claimed zlibc isnt installed, i installed it and then decided to dump it. result -> half a distro gone :/ [19:14] jpatrick: should i try a default icon set? [19:14] ignoramus: or any other [19:15] <_abbenormal> hello all [19:16] <_abbenormal> can i get a daily iso and where can it be found [19:16] jpatrick: just tried Crystal SVG (came as default) - no dice :( [19:16] ignoramus: odd, no idea then :( [19:16] <_abbenormal> i just d/l from main site and iso has bad mds checksum wont burn [19:17] _abbenormal: are you a bNer? If not, disregard :) [19:19] ignoramus: erm? [19:20] snego_: always check changes before applying them [19:20] Tm_T: Fixed it! [19:20] ignoramus: 2117 < ignoramus> _abbenormal: are you a bNer? If not, disregard :) [19:21] Tm_T: oh, i just recognized the name from an online forum- could be anyone, though:) [19:21] ok [19:21] Tm_T: How? The thing is I use Adept not Add/Remove Programs. Because the latter is veryyyyy slow for me. I have no idea why. [19:21] hi i've just installed xubuntu [have kubuntu] [19:21] <_abbenormal> typical linux guys doesnt matter heads up if there is a problem with the iso you all know now thanks [19:22] snego_: both are adept [19:22] yes, i noticed. but add/remove is horribly slow [19:22] is there any benchmark so i can compare the speed of the two managers? [19:22] and it has check changes :> [19:22] snego_: both should have [19:22] blekos: what managers? [19:22] Had to re-install Kubuntu, when I try to mount an external NTFS HDD I get an error saying "hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000" [19:23] Any idea how to fix this?

[19:24] Tm_T: i m sorry, but for some reason i cant find it... I have apply changes and safe update [19:24] Tm_T: i dont see check changes option [19:24] is it so unlikely that someoney will want to check what's best for its computer? [19:25] snego_: interesting, should be, though I don't use those apps [19:25] i can see the xfce is faster, but thre is allways the well know user illusion [19:25] blekos: no, problem is, there's no easy way to benchmark [19:25] hmm [19:25] Tm_T: what do you use for package management then? [19:26] blekos: for example, KDE has high variety in configurations, so you can make huge difference in speed etc etc [19:26] maybe there is a benchmark for checking my pc speed etc, so if i do that for each manager then i could see if there is any difference [19:26] snego_: apt-get [19:26] blekos: umm, with default settings? [19:26] Tm_T: fair enough :> but what happens if u dont know the exact name of the package you need? : ) [19:26] snego_: I have search [19:27] good question [19:27] if i remember right under fiesty there was a package for the lacie lightscribe labeler but i cant seem to find it in the gutsy repos. am i missing a repository, maybe a 3rd party repo or something, i cant remember loading any other 3rd party repos for this. [19:27] blekos: I prolly can make my KDE faster than your XFCE [19:27] just matter of settings [19:27] how is that? [19:28] KDE isn't "fast and light" by default, but there's lots of things you can drop or turn off [19:28] like [19:28] Tm_T: How do you search repositories using apt-get? [19:28] or do you mean Google? : > [19:28] to be honest i dont have any speed problem [19:28] snego_: apt-cache search foofoo [19:28] ! compiz [19:28] Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default.

[20:16] benpicco_: then code one [20:16] * Tm_T goes -> [20:17] Tm_T: using aalib? [20:17] ezra_: sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc [20:17] it says sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/sdc [20:18] sorry [20:18] you must specify the filesystem type [20:18] ezra_: Do you know the file system? [20:18] ezra_: oh, what happens when you type to /dev/sdc and then press tab? [20:18] Is this a Windows drive/device? vfat? ntfs? [20:19] ezra_: what is ls /dev/sdc* telling you? [20:19] ls /dev/sdc* [20:20] nothin [20:20] its a WD passport [20:20] hello, I'm want to set up the java6 SDK/eclipse on my new kubuntu gutsy. I found a comprehensive ubuntu forum article on the process for edgy that uses the Sun third party sdk-6u3-i386.bin. Adept shows the only java package installed is java-common. Can anyone suggest a comprehensive howto or other forum for gutsy or some other resource that doesn't use third party software but limits the java environment to kubuntu packages? [20:20] erm, you typed it in the terminal, right? [20:21] typed what command? [20:21] benpicco_: It wasn't mounted because he didn't specify the file system [20:21] ardchoille: normaly mount should find it out on it´s own [20:21] benpicco_: Doesn't always work that way [20:22] ok. Have added smbfs mount to my fstab. Mounts to /media/server. Icon shows up on desktop but does not show the contents of my servers folder. However going directly to /media/server does... [20:22] When i tried to use SYSTEM SETTINGS-ADVANCED-Disk Management. When i selected Windows Network, and press SCAN, it crashes every time [20:22] im sure its a bug [20:23] i think i'm gonna give up, i appreciate your help though [20:24] so i can access smb mount point going to /media/server. but i can not access when i go to STORAGE MEDIA. === ubuntu is now known as genii [20:28] * genii sips a coffee [20:31] hi genii [20:31] can someone tell me why i can access my smb share via /media/server, but not when i click on the Desktop icon, or go through dolphin-Storage Media. (permission errors).. I can not setup the share via KDE Advanced Disk mounting. (crashes when press SCAN on windows file sharing) [20:32] ardchoille: Heya :) [20:32] hola mundo [20:32] does anyone know how to make konversation start minimised(in systray)?

[20:46] Would anybody know why Adept Manager is wanting me to do a version upgrade on Gutsy? [20:46] there was a little bug about that, but i thought it'd have been fixed by now [20:47] I'll update. [20:47] GrahamA: some upgrades require that, it's no big deal, just do it [20:47] No it's just I've got like... 3 problems off the top of my head. [20:47] Ok, linux gurus, I've the following problem, perhaps you've a clue: I upgraded to kubuntu 7.10 and now none of my hds will mount except the partition the os is on. [20:47] I tried to look up "Disk & Filesystem" in the system settings, but it tells me, that this module cannot be found. [20:49] Gimlet: I'm assuming you've tried mount on the command line? [20:49] Gimlet: i had that issue on the PC i am using right now. i wound of doing a fresh install because of that problem. i had not done a frsh install on this machine since breezy [20:49] #sexo [20:49] GrahamA: I did [20:49] HELLO PEOPLE [20:49] Disk & Filesystem and then try to add a Windows File Share through that. I think its abug [20:49] jmichaelx: :-( [20:50] Gimlet: had you used automatix? [20:50] Gimlet: Do you have any other OSes on the PC? [20:50] GrahamA: Yes, Win2k [20:50] That works? [20:51] They haven't been renamed by accident have they? [20:51] jmichaelx: I used the build-in version updater of kubuntu [20:51] Once, I think Feisty, though my harddrives were sda instead of hda [20:51] alguien espñol [20:51] ? [20:51] ¿? [20:52] They're all "sdx", but fstab uses the UUID [20:53] If i can access my mounted server through /media/server, how come i can not access through Dolpihin - Storage Media ? (permission error) [20:53] Gimlet: You can mount them with /dev/sdx [20:54] Gimlet: What it might be, to get the module for control center, have you got kubuntu-desktop installed? [20:54] Brb fire [20:56] GrahamA: kubuntu-desktop is installed [20:56] Haven't the foggiest [20:56] Have you trried fdisk? [20:57] GrahamA: Yes [20:57] I don't think I can help you much, sorry. [20:57] GrahamA: Thank you for trying [20:57] Gimlet: whats the problem? [20:58] nosrednaekim: After upgrading to kubuntu 7.10, I cannot mount my disks [20:59] Gimlet: any of them? what format type.. [20:59] nosrednaekim: Most of them FAT32 [21:00] Gimlet: can you mount them from the command line? [21:00] nosrednaekim: Nope, it says, they're already mounted [21:00] Gimlet: do a "mount" [21:00] nosrednaekim: I did [21:00] and see where it says they are mounted [21:01] nosrednaekim: But they aren't mounted [21:01] Gimlet: odd.... [21:01] Problem number 2: Kopete crashes when I try to sign into my MSN account... [21:02] GrahamA: run all system updates [21:02] GrahamA: That kopete bug was fixed [21:02] Seems to answer everything... I hope... [21:03] Ah ha! Great success! [21:03] Gimlet: take a look in systemsettings->advanced->disks and partitions. [21:03] nosrednaekim: Odd indeed; when I try to get in the Disk & Filesystems module in the system settings, it says, that the module cannot be found! [21:03] GrahamA: that was a problem with the kde libs in the liveCD [21:04] We're doing good! 2 problems fixed. === askekjaer is now known as DA-freakshow [21:05] I installed kernel 2.6.23.1 how to i uninstall it? [21:05] Gimlet: ouch.... did you run all system updates? [21:05] so i just in stalled kubuntu and would like to install kdevelop, but i don't see it in add/remove programs [21:05] so i only have the old one [21:06] ubuzztu: Use Adept Manager, it's in ther [21:06] there* [21:06] ubuzztu: use adept_manager [21:06] i don't see it... [21:06] I think there's a 4th but I can't remember, either way 3rd is, unless the update fixed it too... sound seems to blip... sort of like skipping... sounds like every now and then a small peddble hits the cone... but it seems to just be with Xine and some of my games. Mplayer never had that problem unless it was a problem with everything except mplayer. [21:07] nosrednaekim: I think so. I there a way to repeat the whole updating process? [21:07] Gimlet: run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" [21:07] any ideas? [21:08] mrtimbo: how did you install it? [21:08] It's bugged me since I got this motherbaord that according to lspci has a built in "Multimedia audio controller: nVidia Corporation nForce3 250Gb AC'97 Audio Controller (rev a1)" [21:08] Kubuntu killed windows. How to fix? [21:08] GrahamA: make the sound buffer higher. [21:08] debian: how did it kill windows. [21:08] i compiled a new kernel via make xconfig [21:09] mrtimbo: oh... umm you can remove the entry from the /boot/grub.menu.lst [21:09] when windows boots it says unmountabole boot voulme or something [21:09] nosrednaekim: It just says, that everything is up-to-date [21:09] i didnt compile right or something cause i cant open my mmc cards or webcam with new kernel [21:10] Gimlet: run "kdesudo mountconfig" [21:10] or external hard drives [21:11] FIXED my STORAGE MEDIA problem. Changed fstab to cifs instead of smbfs [21:11] :) [21:11] BenjaminD: cool [21:11] How do I make sure a partition is unomnted?

[21:12] How to unmount?

[21:13] It is it [21:13] mrtimbo: well, what do you need in a newer kernel than what gutsy ships? [21:13] man mount [21:13] reading is good [21:14] nothing, just wanted a faster system, but now since its not right i just want to unistall what i did [21:14] debian: then you must have really messed up your system if you aren't in the sudoers file. [21:14] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=311158 is what i did [21:14] No, kinda doesnt have kubuntu but debian with kde. but that is pretty much the same [21:15] Gimlet: sounds like you may have a messed up upgrade [21:15] debian: kinda, but there are some fundamental differences, #debain might be able to help you better [21:15] #debian [21:15] Gimlet: Do you have a Gutsy liveCD? [21:15] nosrednaekim: I think you're right and I really do not like it [21:16] GrahamA: No, I haven't [21:16] mathcore is great [21:16] Download one, see if it can see your hard drives. [21:17] GrahamA: This could be a problem, since I have no cd drive [21:19] GrahamA: do you have a usbstick? [21:19] Gimlet: ^^ [21:19] OMG!

The iPod runs linux very well :-) [21:23] Gimlet: you have linux running on ti?

[21:25] nosrednaekim: Borrowing an usb stick won't be any problem, but I'm not sure, whether my bios will allow booting from an usb stick [21:26] nosrednaekim: But it's worth a try [21:26] Gimlet: you can check.

[22:16] <[ka]killer> xD [22:16] <[ka]killer> always check that first [22:16] [ka]killer: thanks :) [22:17] <[ka]killer> =P normall when i do that i forgot to hit stop before minimizing the amarok window [22:17] [ka]killer: sudo aptitude -- did it "manually" on a 6.06 [22:17] <[ka]killer> i never do it manually, i break things to often =/ [22:17] [ka]killer: it updated cups, and now cups is broke. [22:17] <[ka]killer> humm [22:18] hay [22:18] <[ka]killer> why not upgrade from 6.06? [22:18] cause it'S LTS [22:18] i'm upgrading from feisty to gutsy and it keeps failing [22:18] [ka]killer: prefer LTS, yeah. [22:18] "subprocess post-installation script killed by signal (Segmentation fault), core dumped" [22:18] <[ka]killer> o [22:18] <[ka]killer> minceR mine did that [22:18] the Report bug button pretends it's trying to start konqueror but nothing happens [22:18] <[ka]killer> i just ended up burning a disk [22:18] MinceR: if you can, clean install. [22:18] it told me x11-common isn't going to be installed [22:19] why, is it really that hard to get dist-upgrade actually work? [22:19] MinceR: post inst script for what? [22:19] dunno [22:19] can't copy from those dialogs [22:19] and what else gives it out, cause this is not the causing error [22:19] only the message i've pasted already [22:19] show terminal shows an empty panel [22:20] aptitude: I wasn't able to locate file for kdevelop package.This might mean you might need to manually fix the package.(due to missing arch) [22:20] MinceR: can you get it to install x11-common? [22:20] that is what I get from aptitude [22:20] i'll try after the upgrade finishes or dies [22:21] <[ka]killer> why do i get "loading player part 'xinepart' failed all video drivers failed to initialize!" [22:21] dusan: do you know how to download the package manually? I could help with that. [22:21] maybe Show terminal froze something in there because it stopped doing things [22:22] Norty: I will try? [22:22] dpkg? [22:22] apt-get? [22:22] dusan: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [22:22] Norty: Already there. [22:23] dusan: find your package, and download it. Then command line to the file, and dpkg -i [22:24] ok === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever [22:25] <[ka]killer> does anyone have experience with xine [22:26] hey [22:26] I can't run any aptitude programs [22:26] it says there's something running using it [22:26] <[ka]killer> then there is [22:26] but I checked the precess table and there's nothing with the name apt [22:26] ezra_: try to find that program and tell it to quit nicely [22:26] or aptitude [22:26] or anything [22:26] related [22:27] <[ka]killer> try running apt-get it should tell you what is using it [22:27] k, thanks [22:27] <[ka]killer> normally it yells at me to dpkg something when that happens [22:27] <[ka]killer> and back to my problem anyone have experience with xine === andreas_ is now known as andy_123 [22:28] ezra_: I usually give up and do a soft-reboot then. I never took the time to track it down. [22:28] I reebooted [22:29] but that's just me. [22:29] and it still was there [22:29] how do i go about mounting an ftp url? [22:29] I restarted [22:29] can i restart distribution upgrade if it freezes or will i have to restore my backup? [22:29] ubuzztu: You can just open konqueror and do: ftp://url [22:29] it says that dpkg was interrupted and that I must manually run something to correct the problem [22:29] which I am now doing [22:30] Is it possible to list all commands that start with the letters vnc [22:30] i want to mount the directory so i can view the directory in kdevelop [22:31] vnc :) [22:31] Ah, thanks!! [22:31] Thats bash command completion at work [22:32] =] [22:32] suggestion: for the next version, support cut/paste [22:32] suggestion: be more clear on the suggestions... [22:32] ;) [22:33] * Dr_willis cuts and pastes all the time === andreas_ is now known as andy_123 [22:34] even after closing the window i can't kill the remaining processes even with kill -9 [22:34] zorglu_: for comand line, did you use + for +V ? [22:34] Klipper is very irritating, it drops whatever you copy, but you can manualy select it [22:34] * Dr_willis cuts/pastes a URL of the Channel Old timers dancing --> http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1778911 [22:35] <[ka]killer> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/44950/ === andreas_ is now known as andy_123 [22:37] Dr_willis: How do I stop the dolphin error about bookmarks? Apart from by using Konqueror :P [22:38] I dont use dolphin. I stuff dolphin into little cans marked 'tuna' [22:38] :) [22:38] Dr_willis: that's not very nice... [22:38] Ive yet to see any thing that dolphin does for me that i cant do with Konqueror better/faster/stronger/quicker. :) [22:38] Is there a KDE/Qt IRC client that supports HTTP proxy (including proxy support for xdcc)? [22:38] True [22:38] Dr_willis: X got 2 cut/paste stuff. and so kde/gnome apps poorly interact due to that [22:38] of course KDE4 may make it better. [22:39] zorglu_, thers settings to sync the cut selection buffer with the cut/paste buffer. [22:39] Dr_willis: How do I search apt from the cli? [22:39] adept says the database is locked. i've deleted /var/cache/apt/archives/lock as a webpage said and adept still says it's locked [22:39] Dr_willis: any keyword or url to help me fix this ? [22:39] apt-cache search whatever [22:39] zorglu_, i think klipper has that feature [22:39] how can i make adept work again? [22:39] I sort of perfer the 2 buffers. :) [22:40] Of couse im used to the 'old fashined selection buffer/middle click' method [22:40] i would prefere to be able to cut/paste :) [22:40] ctrl-c and ctrl-v works for me in most cases.. cant say that ive ever had an issue with cut/pasteing [22:40] currently to cut/past from firefox to console, i need to do firefox->eclipse->konsole [22:40] And anyone else here having problems with the latest nVidia and 7300? === andreas_ is now known as andy_123 [22:41] firefox does have a plugin to 'auto copy to clipboard' any selections made on a web page [22:41] Thats handy at times [22:41] Dr_willis: ok this was my suggestion :) to get cut/paste to work by default :) [22:42] I just select text in firefox, right click -> copy, then click in konqueror -> right click paste. [22:42] Dr_willis: if plugin are required to support cut/paste to have them by default [22:42] its working here by default for me. [22:42] Not sure what you are doing thats so weird. [22:42] i guess im unlucky then [22:42] technically firefox is not included in Kubuntu by default. :) [22:44] I can select text in firefox, and middle click to paste the selection in Konsole also. [22:44] i guess i'll see if "sudo dpkg --configure -a" fixes things. [22:45] Dr_willis: it is ok i will keep going thru eclipse [22:48] Ok, so how do I undo an update? [22:48] Hey everyone, I was wondering if someone could help me refine a command for the command line. I want to copy files to a usb drive "cp *.mp3 /media/MCUSB" but all the files I want to copy are scattered in a variety of sub folders, but those sub folders are all contained within one partent folder. Is it possible? [22:48] bye [22:48] Hello there, whats the difference between apt-get and aptitude? [22:48] question if i stop the upgrade do i have to start it from the beginning all over again....? [22:48] I'm upgrading to 7.10? [22:48] aptitude has a 'console gui' and it supposed to be a bit smarter in ways.. but i rarely use it. [22:49] knightz: you would more likely get a broken system. [22:49] knightz: if you stop the upgrade, you could mess up your system [22:49] hi, if a create a new user without administrative permission, on the same pc will he be able to access my home directory? [22:49] knightz: it happened to me [22:49] so be weary [22:49] eg user1, user2 [22:49] Dr_willis: what do you use? [22:49] will be user2 able to se user's1 files? [22:49] so I have to wait for the dam thing to finish upgrading? [22:49] I just apt-get install stuff. [22:49] blekos: I don't think so. [22:50] knightz: yeah, that would be the smart choice [22:50] hm......... [22:50] 11 hour 38min left [22:50] blekos: not unless you specifially allow it, I think. [22:50] Dr_willis: the only reason i ask is because i used apt-get to install ubuntustudio-audio, just to check it out [22:50] then when i tried to get rid of it, it left all the packages [22:51] Lazarus, yep. apttitude will supposebly be a little smarter at removing things. [22:51] But i rarely remove things.. :P [22:51] !mythtv [22:51] MythTV is a TV framework for Linux - Instructions for using with Ubuntu at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV [22:51] ive also had aptitude decide to remove 300+ packages.. then it decided to reinstall them [22:51] so i can't shut down my system till it's over? [22:51] knightz: whats your hurry? [22:52] knightz: it would be unwise [22:52] all: can I get aptitude to undo some upgrades? === andreas__ is now known as andy_123 [22:54] yes I'm using the wireless in the mall [22:54] and when the mall close i have to leave! [22:54] Hide out in the Store! :) [22:54] funny [22:55] No starbucks close eh? :) [22:55] knightz: ok, if it's just downloading, you're ok to power down. Install: bad idea. [22:55] 9 out of 1068 packages [22:55] it's just downloading [22:55] actually if its done downloading.. the install can run without network connection [22:58] how long the install takes? [22:58] for 1000+ packages... id say.. hr or so. [22:58] i have a 2.1gig with 512m ram [22:58] its almost faster to do a Clean Reinstall then upgrade. :) [22:59] hm.......... [22:59] big speed limit will be the HD speeds. === sirjoshimus is now known as Lazarus [22:59] th last version was 7.08? then right? [22:59] 7.04 [22:59] ok.......... i thought the new version was 8.10? [23:00] 8.10 implies 2008, month 10 [23:00] the LAST version was 7.04 - the latest is 8.10 :) [23:00] hm.......... long wait [23:00] correction: 7.10 -- it isn't 2008 yet. [23:00] the LAST version was 7.04 - the latest is 7.10 [23:00] Dr_willis: 8.10 is out already? [23:01] :) [23:01] typo :) [23:01] Dr_willis: what exactly do they have planned for it [23:01] Lazarus: he's using libtimetravel [23:01] ;P [23:01] ok if i shut down then it would just start back where i stopped right? [23:01] hey Dr_willis [23:01] !ubuntu+1 [23:01] Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [23:02] when I rebuilt this box, I installed 2GB of RAM...in my BIOS, it only shows 512MB [23:02] what is mythtv good for [23:02] i keep hearing about it [23:02] if i knew this i ould of done it at home [23:02] if i knew this i would of done it at home [23:02] !mythtv > Lazarus [23:02] Is there any difference between the Kubuntu dist and the regular Ubuntu dist aside from +KDE -gnome? [23:03] yes is there? [23:03] Lazarus, i have a mythtv box in the basement recording tv shows :) [23:03] Dr_willis: yeah, thats interesting [23:03] pjeide: It's the same base distro, just a different desktop environment === andreas__ is now known as andy_123 [23:03] wikipedia compared it to free tivo [23:03] ardchoille: thank you [23:03] i love how kubuntu handles memory cards [23:03] Yep. basicially is TIVO for those that hate Comercials. :) [23:04] it can auto-remove comercials. [23:04] Dr_willis: how do you have it set up [23:04] !mythtv > pjeide [23:04] im trying to think of how this can related to my actual television [23:05] Lazarus, just the normal defaults for the most part. I just knew where to click to 'enable auto comercial skip' :) [23:05] amd64 2 ghz box, nvidia 6800 card. and Loads of HD space. [23:05] Dr_willis: no, i mean how would you set it up for your living room [23:05] rather than computer [23:05] I installed the 'mythbuntu' disrto. [23:05] set it up? the pc just sits below the tv. :) [23:06] it auto boots to MythTV [23:06] Dr_willis: very interesting [23:06] i don't know thatd id waste good hardware for something akin to tivo though [23:07] actually in the basemnt i got it hooked to a Monior and the TV. i get a normal Desktop on the PC moniotr. I got a MythTV client for the living room [23:07] i have an old crappy box laying around [23:07] I have several. :) [23:07] I've mulled over the idea of turning this box into a media center/file server when finished with it.. something like MythTV might be a good push in the right direction.. [23:07] Dr_willis: how do you stop/start and such from a remote control [23:08] it has support for my remote. :) i just hit play/move the arrows around and so forth. [23:08] Dr_willis: ah, i see [23:08] what model [23:08] are the repostitories down? I can't update gutsy. [23:08] jeez, i love this stuff [23:08] a full work around of shitty commercial products [23:08] i do perfer a full wireless keyboard. - that way i can Play Frozenbubble on the tv. :) [23:09] id never buy tivo in a million years [23:09] im cheap [23:09] I got a tivo gave to me. Its in the closet. [23:09] heh, a huge wireless keyboard would be a little bulky [23:10] i try to keep tv/media separate from my computer [23:10] otherwise id have no reason to leave my room [23:10] They got little ones also. :) [23:10] Or ya could always just use a wireless gamepad. [23:10] very very intriguing [23:10] or ya just run some ps2 cables under the floor to the couch. [23:10] Dr_willis: you have enlightened me somewhat more to the capabilities of the hardware i have laying around [23:11] Im waiting for those USB-Wireless hubs to get common. then i canhave all theusb things done wirelessly. :) [23:11] Dr_willis: how would you get a gamepad to work === mathieu_ is now known as mateo3420 [23:11] plug it in.. it works. :) [23:11] I am rather pleased that I happened across the conversation at this juncture as well. [23:11] you may need to define all the buttons in a config. [23:11] any one having trouble updating? [23:11] i dont have a ps2 actually [23:12] #ubuntu-mythtv is a good place to check for info also. [23:12] Keyboard shortcut for increasing/decreasing master volume not showing on OSD...Is there a fix for this? [23:12] but id buy a custom remote, or even a wireless keyboard i guess [23:12] I found the remote a bit laggy.. and i had a wireless keybord handy. :) [23:13] id like to find a mini keyboard with a little trackball. [23:13] wireless. [23:13] I'd like one of those for an in-car rig. [23:13] Dr_willis: id need a mouse as well [23:13] jeez, the possibilities are endless [23:14] i dont really watch much tv, but id do stuff anyway just for the hell of it [23:14] then you can also have MythTV client box's around the house so others can watch what the main backend has recorded [23:14] I tend to record shows. burn them to dvd. or convert->copy to laptop to watch [23:14] that sounds like a pretty nice feature [23:14] its gotten where i cant stand to watch normal tv. I want pause-at-any-time, and no comercials. :P [23:15] Dr_willis: indeed [23:15] plus the mythtv box can play about any video format you can toss at it. [23:15] I'd rather watch my netflix movies :) tv just doesn' [23:15] i was at my aunts house last night and was amazed at the possibilities [23:15] t entertain me much [23:15] she has tivo [23:15] shane_: me either [23:15] im the opposite - i hate movies [23:16] i like movies over shows [23:16] most shows nowadays are somewhat crappy === gdnet is now known as lali [23:16] but history channel specials and whatnot i always want to record [23:16] I enjoy south park, but that's about it on tv [23:16] south park and such [23:16] ha yeah === andreas__ is now known as andy_123 [23:16] why cant i play the whole .flv movie? In Firefor and Konqueror. [23:17] hi, although i've chosen for the mounted drives to appear on the desktop that's not the case anybody having the same "problem" [i'm running 7.10 dual boot] [23:18] off the wall question where can i get software to unlock the sony ericsson w880i phones? [23:18] <_novocaine_> Hi. Does anyone know if there's a way to extend windows all the way to the right of the screen so the scrollbar touches the edge? [23:18] blekos, are the drives accessible at all? [23:18] or just not on the desktop [23:18] I am having a problem with the following: "weird, boot cpu (#15) not listed by BIOS" [23:18] <_novocaine_> I hate missing it and resizing the window by accident [23:18] does anyone here know how to add konqueror service menus to dolphin? [23:19] does anyone know of a good program that will let a linux system and a windows system send/receive files. would use google chat, but it won't work with my friend on windows [23:19] why cant i play the whole .flv movie? In Firefor and Konqueror. [23:19] so i am just looking for a small application that could do that for both platforms [23:19] weswh, how bout pidgin? [23:19] yes 100% accessible and r-w/able [23:19] hello [23:19] guys how can i revert changes in kubuntu? === debian is now known as N1ACT [23:20] Dr_willis: what do you plug the coaxial into [23:20] Dr_willis: im trying to make a diagram of what i would need to do [23:21] shane...yeah, I am using pidgin. see if I can talk him into it. [23:21] i didn't consider that pidgin to pidgin would work [23:21] Dr_willis: how do you have av i/o set up [23:22] I cannot see the drives in the media directory in dolphin [23:22] is this the right channel for nvidia problems in gusty? [23:22] I am having a problem with the following: "weird, boot cpu (#15) not listed by BIOS" [23:22] weswh, pidgin transfers files..if you have problems, be sure your ip address is correct in your preferences and that you're opening the right port in your firewall [23:23] yeah, just when he's done it through google talk, it says my client doesn't support it. [23:23] lag? [23:23] weswh, interesting..I thought for sure I've sent files to people using google talk before [23:23] doesn't kopete work? [23:23] my nvidia geforce3 is not working anymore in gusty... in feisty everythink was working wel... any solutions? [23:24] nareshov, kopete does transfer as well [23:24] sourcemaker, what's the problem? [23:24] too bad kopete doesn't have http proxy support :\ [23:25] and neither does konversation [23:25] a minute ago I could see the partitions in storage media but now I cannot, it happens at time and Im forced to reboot to solve it...can you help me please? [23:25] nareshov, I think kopete falls short on many features, but that's just my opinion...pidgin probably isn't any better. We sure could use a google talk type program for linux [23:26] shane_: Ever try psi? [23:26] yep. I'm currently using psi on KDE [23:26] NeoFax, yes I have..I do like some of the features, but I wasn't too impressed with the UI. I'm probably being too picky [23:27] Lazarus, the tv tuner card has the inputs for the tv. [23:28] Lazarus, then video card out goes to the TV itself. [23:28] media:/ protocol is failing in my kubuntu..can you help me pls? [23:28] Dr_willis: ah, i see [23:29] when starting the xserver... the xserver crashs with the error message api missmatch kernel module 9631 nvidia version 9639 [23:30] using geforce3 [23:30] sourcemaker: How did you install this driver? === andreas__ is now known as andy_123 [23:30] first... i tried the new registry driver module from systems settings (kde) gusty... is was not workingthen i used apt [23:31] arent you capabl of helping me?! :( [23:31] restricted driver i mean [23:31] sourcemaker: Well, you have the wrong restricted modules installed. Find the ones that match your Nvidia version [23:31] apt and the 'restricted-manager' tool install the same packages. [23:32] unless you mean you used 'dkpg -i SOMTHINGYouDownloadeed.deb' [23:32] instead of apt-get install nvidia-glx [23:32] I used apt-get install nvidia-glx [23:33] I n feisty... everythink was working well [23:33] media:/ protocol is failing in my kubuntu..can you help me pls? [23:33] sourcemaker: Did you upgrade from feisty? [23:33] never touch a running system.... yes... I have [23:34] sourcemaker: Have you heard of the program called Envy? [23:34] No i am sorry... I have not head this programm yet [23:34] dont even mess with envy, :) heh heh... [23:34] well i guess ya can if you are brave/foolhardy [23:34] not a fan Dr_willis? [23:34] haha [23:34] is it stable? [23:35] i see a large # of people in here a week with "i used envy, and now its not working" [23:35] Hmm..maybe you're right then... [23:35] In fact IF you use envy. and then theres a kernel upgrade.. you must reinstall the nvidia drivers with envey again manually [23:35] Dr_willis: I didn't think envy and automatix were even necessary anymore [23:36] ardchoille, as far as im concerned they are not.. then again.. they never were necessary. :) [23:36] True [23:36] I am not interessed in beeing your alpha-tester of Envy [23:36] ;-) [23:36] I think they can help people who may have a hard time installing things on their own, but that could turn into a big debate, ha [23:36] yeah, envy is a short term fix [23:36] media:/ protocol is failing in my kubuntu..can you help me pls? [23:36] haha [23:36] I would rate envy better then AUtomatix. :) [23:36] its given me problems before [23:36] I haven't had any problems, but maybe I've been lucky [23:36] automatix is the devil [23:36] shane_, very lucky [23:37] I wouldn't so much as blame envy as I would blame the nvidia installer program [23:37] I had no problems with drapper or feisty. [23:37] i normally just use restricted-manager tool and never have problems. :) [23:37] All envy is a script nothing more. [23:37] I hear ya Dr_willis [23:37] I do the same [23:38] But how do you suggest sourcemaker gets out of this without knowing how to mess with his modules to fix his nvidia card? === andreas__ is now known as andy_123 [23:38] I mean I could remote into his machine or something (not!) [23:38] I have also used gentoo 4 years... and my nvidia driver was always working... [23:38] It is better to use the apt program to handle 99% of your system as it is great. Using scripts that do the same as apt is just asking for trouble. [23:38] I just do "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx && sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" and the nividia drivers are installed. Takes jus a few minutes and you don't have to open a gui for it :) [23:38] where would i find the md5sum of the kubuntu desktop cd iso? [23:39] "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx && sudo nvidia-glx-config enable => did not work for m [23:39] If the kernel verison and nvidia versjions differ. they wont work. You may need to figure out why they are differeing. [23:39] sourcemaker: After doing that, what exactly was the eroor you received in /var/log/Xorg.0.log? [23:39] an apt-get update, and upgrade, THEN try reinstalling the nvidia drivers.. may be the best route. [23:39] sourcemaker: Then you have a weird system, that has worked for me on over 200 machines. [23:40] has the nvidia stuff ever worked? when did it break? :) [23:40] lol [23:40] Dr_willis: Try ATI [23:40] You dont want to know what i do to ATI. [23:40] :P [23:40] hehe [23:41] actually the one ATI box i have.. restricted-manager handles it also. [23:41] ha..maybe these open drivers that are going to come out for ATI (someday) will change things [23:41] I found a workaround thanks for not helping me [23:41] no problem [23:41] you are welcomed. [23:41] yendor: sorry we didn't know what was wrong with your storage media [23:41] shame on us for not knowing every obscoure bug I guess. [23:41] yendor: Not everyone in here knows everything there is to know about Linux. [23:42] Anyone know how to fic this: "weird, boot cpu (#15) not listed by BIOS" [23:42] They don't? [23:42] ardchoille: I do..haha yeah right [23:42] lol [23:42] My pc worked fine until I rebooted a while ago [23:42] my knowledge = /dev/null [23:42] (II) Setting vga for screen 0.(**) NVIDIA(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32(==) NVIDIA(0): RGB weight 888(==) NVIDIA(0): Default visual is TrueColor(==) NVIDIA(0): Using gamma correction (1.0, 1.0, 1.0)(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "NoLogo" "True"(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "NvAGP" "1"(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "RenderAccel" "true"(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "1"(**) NVIDIA(0): Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"(**) NVIDIA(0): Enabl [23:42] A internal AGP requested(II) NVIDIA(0): Support for GLX with the Damage and Composite X extensions is(II) NVIDIA(0): enabled.(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!

[23:42] sourcemaker: Please use pastebin === oblivious is now known as sea4ever [23:43] whats the difference between ext3 and reiserFS filesystems [23:43] it apparent that it is quite a very common bug in Kubuntu 7.10 guys [23:43] sourcemaker, that looks like your monitor settings are incorrect. Not the nvidia card settings. [23:43] Lazarus: Support [23:43] at least t should draqw some attention [23:43] yendor: What was the rpboelm? [23:43] Lazarus: reiserfs was created by a murderer [23:43] gd typed it b4 me [23:43] shane_: ha, you have to explain that [23:44] for an unknown reason media:/ was not showing any content [23:44] sourcemaker: Try doing sudo modprobe nvidia [23:44] nothing although the mounts are ok [23:44] !reiserfs [23:44] reiserfs is a journalling file system, which outperforms many others on I/O operations, but has drawbacks (such as increasing likelihood of data loss, and introducing latency unsuitable for gaming or real-time audio). Using !ext3, the default on Ubuntu, is *highly* recommended. A read-only Windows driver is available at http://p-nand-q.com/download/rfstool.html [23:44] On the console... I get the message: API missmatch the kernel version is 1.0-9631 the x server module is 9630 === schiste_ is now known as schiste [23:44] shane_: Innocent until proven guilty [23:44] yendor: Ah, ok. Well, I use bash as a file manager, so I don't use "media:/". [23:44] Lazarus: The guy who created it was accused of murdering his girlfriend..yeah, I was joshing NeoFax haha [23:45] sourcemaker, So has this nvidia card ever worked? [23:45] hmm, ive been using reiserfs for a long time on many systems [23:45] never had too much trouble [23:45] i guess you all use ext3? [23:45] I do [23:45] I lost a few 100gb on a reiserfs once.. so now i use ext3 [23:45] Only on opensuse machines [23:45] * nareshov has been using reiserfs for two years now [23:45] yes... on festy bevore doing the upgrade [23:45] really i have little to gain from reiserfs. [23:45] Lazarus: Will it work a year from now without support? SuSE maintains only bugs now [23:45] opensuse uses ext3 by default now [23:46] yes they did at 10.3 [23:46] * ardchoille has never used anyting other than ext3 [23:46] The company Hans Reiser started is working on Reiser 3 and has no intention to support Reiser2 [23:46] sourcemaker, Upgrades ahh.. Well it could be the kernel has not been upgraded yet. or the drivers havent. I never use upgrades so not sure of the proper way to be sure everything upgraded [23:46] Ew, reiserfs came out of suse? [23:46] i despise suse [23:46] no [23:46] i used the dist-upgrade command--- [23:46] everythink was fine [23:46] except the nvidia card [23:47] sourcemaker, id try it again to be sure, then do a sudo apt-get update, and apt-get upgrade again... [23:47] sourcemaker: You upgraded to Gytsy with "dist-upgrade"? [23:47] sourcemaker: How was it setup in feisty? with restricted modules or using the NVIDIA installer? [23:47] Should he try the module-assistant method? sudo m-a a-i nvidia ? [23:48] Lazarus: No, Reiser was designed by Hans Reiser who lives near San Francisco and SuSE only championed it back when Linus Torvalds would not include it straight in the kernel. [23:48] NeoFax : on feisty... i used the restricted modules: I was a fresh clean install... without upgrading from drapper...Yes... all update are installed.... [23:48] where can i find the latest java sdk/jvm? sources? [23:48] NeoFax: interesting [23:48] Why doesn't the OSD work with keyboard shortcuts controlling my master volume [23:48] I switched from gentoo distro to kubuntu... so i was doing a fresh install... [23:49] how can you not setup a video card if you used gentoo? [23:49] after I have read the release notes of gusty... I have done the upgrade... based on the upgrade guide [23:49] yeah :P [23:49] sounds to me like the kernel, or the drivers didient upgrade properly [23:49] well... on gentoo... I compile the kernel and drivers myself... [23:49] you still can [23:49] but i won't do that in kubuntu [23:50] sourcemaker: Try booting into a differnet kernel and then apt-getting the restricted modules for that kernel and reinstalling nvidia-glx to see if it is a symlink problem [23:50] hi, in my work we have a win 2003 server with active directory etc. Is it possible a terminal running linux to [23:50] map an ntfs drive? [23:50] biekos: rdesktop can connect to windows terminal server [23:50] blekos: yes with samba [23:51] NeoFax : "sourcemaker: Try booting into a differnet kernel and then apt-getting the restricted modules for that kernel and reinstalling nvidia-glx to see if it is a symlink problem" => i have already tryed this ;;-) [23:51] so i have to install samba on the linux terminal? [23:52] actually just to get TO the windows machine. i dont think you need to install samba.. but i may be wrong. [23:52] the kde file manager has a samba:/ feature [23:52] Open nvidia-glx in like kpackage and see what symlinks it installs and see if your system matches those symlinks. Also, try sudo updatedb then locate nvidia.ko [23:52] maybe it is better to use gentoo... and doing all the stuff myself... everythink was working well [23:52] smb://mshome/ :) in my case [23:52] and how to i do that? [23:52] where can i find the latest java sdk/jvm? sources? [23:52] This will tell you where the nvidia kernel driver is located. [23:53] sourcemaker, problkems like yours are the reasin i never upgrade. I keep /home seperate and do clean installs. :( [23:53] i just plug in the kubuntu terminal? (i guess i'm looking for an option equivelant "map network drive" [23:53] sourcemaker: Different strokes for different folks. If Gentoo worked well, I would have stuck with it. I used to use it until it became a burden maintaining my machine === Iradigalesc is now known as I === I is now known as Iradigalesc [23:54] blekos, system:/remote shows icons to get to the smb, and other network servers [23:54] NeoFax: I used to use it until it became a burden maintaining my machine => That's the reason... why I will kubuntu a try [23:54] blekos: Go to samba.org and they have tutorials there for exactly what u are asking [23:55] or couse if the old ubuntu worked.. :) why upgrade at all. [23:55] For the WIGGLY WINDOWS! :) thats why [23:55] jeez, why can you just watch tv through a lan cable [23:55] Lazarus: Try joost [23:55] !joost [23:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about joost - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:55] I watch tv throgh my lan cable. :) [23:55] Dr_willis: what, thats crazy [23:55] Dr_willis: Is the problem of all software developers... the always want to have the newest version available [23:55] Try XTV [23:55] <[ka]killer> =O [23:55] *XDTV [23:56] it is running a mythtv client on one end.. and mythtv server on the other. [23:56] I can using my Xbox360 and Vista's Media Center [23:56] actually Im not sure i can watch livetv.. or just the recorded shows.. [23:56] Dr_willis: what do you use to watch it through lan? [23:56] I wish Myth would come out with a MCE capable backend [23:56] Lazarus, MythTV [23:56] I just fired it up. i can watch live tv on the mythtv server [23:57] Dr_willis: Ah, then whats this 'joost' that NeoFax just mentioned [23:57] Does anyone know how to fix my boot BIOS problem? [23:57] Query, good sirs! I recently dled and did a fresh install of Gutsy, and wouldn't you know it? My wifi doesn't work! (WPA) It lists eth0 for my device, but it also says there is "No active device" and it also lists a false IP address (169.XXX.XXX.XX) Any suggestions so I can get my wifi working? Much appreciated. [23:58] Joost is a IPTV system. It allows you to connect to free and payperview shows thru the internet [23:58] NeoFax: i dont see where it runs on linux [23:58] What wireless adapter you have would be a start [23:58] Go to the ubuntuforums and there is a tutorial on how to install it under wine [23:59] welll... fuck up the shit... I will buy a new nvidia card... so everything will working fine... without have always problems with the old legacy cards [23:59] sourcemaker: What video card do you actually have? [23:59] !ohmy | sourcemaker [23:59] zibrah3ed:: Are you talking to me? [23:59] sourcemaker: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [23:59] sourcemaker: legacy cards are lame to get working [23:59] Excelsior: Yes [23:59] a very old geforce3
