[00:04] stdin: that seems to work, atleast its removing something :) [00:04] yes [00:04] at least i think so [00:04] jackuess: is it an apt-get error?

I've tried looking at the logs but I can't find anything there (but I also don't quite know what logs I should be looking at... I've looked at the Xorg log, the kdm log, messages and syslog) [00:06] that gives me an "unfullfilled dependencies error" [00:06] stdin: or atleast lets me download them [00:06] acemo: good, best way to install is "sudo apt-get install kdebase-dev-kde4 kdebase-workspace-dev kdebase-runtime" [00:07] stdni: im running that command atm [00:07] jackuess: put LANG=C before the apt-get command and post to pastebin [00:08] anybody got an idea of how I can figure out what's going on when my computer doesn't start X at startup?

[00:09] okay [00:10] thx [00:10] stdin: at the step where u install kdm-kde4 it asks wich to use as default, u suggest to use kdm as default? only other option is kdm-kde4 [00:10] stdin: many thanks, now it worked [00:10] yeah, it doesn't matter as you'll be using the kde3 kdm [00:11] stdin: k [00:11] hopefully we'll have the rest of the RC1 up tomorrow, I'm uploading kdepim-kde4 now === ThugLife is now known as Thug-life === cpk1_ is now known as cpk1 [00:15] okay.. should be installed now.. lets try it out ^.^ [00:15] hmm [00:16] Anyone here got Amarok to work with a Creative Zen Touch? [00:17] All I can find are tutorials for Edgy. === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever [00:20] FroggyTheGreat, I assume the CZT uses the MTP protocol.

(the start button thingy) [00:23] NickPresta - It doesn't find the device. [00:24] acemo: you have to add it, it's an applet [00:24] it may be a RC1, but it's still buggy [00:24] stdin: ahh alright [00:25] s/applet/plasmoid/ :) [00:25] hey yay! RC1 is in Kubuntu reps! :-) [00:25] sirina: almost [00:25] can u also add it to the task bar yet? [00:25] acemo: try it and see [00:26] sirina: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php [00:26] <[ka]killer> hey [00:26] Hmm. Gnomad2 worked, apparently. Let's see if I can populate it. [00:26] FroggyTheGreat, is the CZT a MTP device or is it set to UMS? If it is indeed MTP, make sure you have libmtp installed and then make sure mtp-tools is installed. Then try connecting the device from the command line (mtp-connect). if that doesn't work, perhaps the CZT isn't supported [00:26] stdin: thingy is... right clicking on task bar does nothing [00:26] <[ka]killer> bah nvm cant deal with this tonight [00:26] thx stdin. :-) [00:27] acemo: the task bar is a plasmoid too, some bits work others don't. right click the desktop to open the plasmoid adder (or use the little icon in the top right) [00:27] Lemme make sure about mtp-tools.

[00:37] acemo: I have to sleep sometime so people can pester ubotu now :p [00:37] Heh [00:37] stdin: hehe =) [00:38] Will having KDE3 and KDE4 installed at the same time be a bit more idiot-proofed for the release? [00:39] well, probably not :p [00:39] I may try RC1 if I have free time in the next couple weeks. I'm asking about release stuff more for my girlfriend's laptop [00:39] that's why we say to remove all old kde4 package [00:40] if you have no kde4 package is just one apt-get install, if you have old package, it's my hacky command ^ [00:40] then apt-get [00:41] So we'll be stuck manually setting the environment variables? [00:41] Or will the last "To run it as a full session install kdm-kde4..." step be the only thing required? [00:41] we may have a more elegant system in place by then [00:42] Heh, alright [00:42] but this is all pre-release and changing all the time, so having any system is impossible [00:42] Yeah, understandable [00:42] think kubuntu 8.04 will have kde4 as default? [00:43] and we install it in it's own separate directory, so it doesn't interfere. thats why you need the exports, so the system knows where to look [00:43] It took me long enough to convince my girlfriend to accept Kubuntu for her new laptop. I'd be a bit worried about installing KDE4 for her if there isn't an easy way to get back to KDE3 [00:43] acemo: not a chance in hell :) [00:43] acemo- definitely not [00:43] acemo- 8.04 is an LTS version [00:43] there will be special KDE4 (non-LTS) CDs (or that's the plan) [00:43] hmm yeah.. for LTS it would be kinda really dared.. [00:44] stdin: thats great =) [00:44] So even now, all that would be required to switch would be to copy the kde4.desktop file and add the export lines to startkde? [00:45] basically [00:45] that and a few sacrifices to the gods of KDE [00:46] oh, and I hope you all enjoy the svn konversation that will be installed when you update :) [00:47] I forgot to remove some old package from the archive and it's too late now :p [00:47] Heh [00:48] Maybe I'll wait a bit before switching from XChat then [00:48] How can I find out how many installed applications I have (not including libraries, etc)? [00:48] ohh crap, i knew it was a bad idea to try out rc1 in the evening.. 5 hours till my alarm goes off ;/ [00:49] acemo: what? I haven't slept in two days getting these packages out and you're complaining about a few hours? :P [00:50] and it's already tomorrow [00:50] * tekteen has awakened from the grave [00:51] stdin: its just.. that always when i think of going to bed early.. i end up in bed late [00:51] when ever I think of going to bed...

[01:02] so I can remove the kde-guidance-powermanager package? [01:03] stdin: how do you go about changing the screen size of your Xephyr session?

[02:45] not trying to trash it just saying [02:45] gribelu: that's because they really are bolted to the apps :p [02:45] (in 3x) [02:46] in gnome i configured everything i could but it still sucks and nothing looks like i wanted it to... in kde i managed to do it and it was stable too [02:47] the good thing is that linux is becoming usable and that's what matters ;) [02:47] Qt4 is a great tool too, it makes generating a fully interactive and nice looking GUI app really easy [02:47] I made my 1st working Qt4 app after 3 days of reading [02:48] and that's with me being a C++ noob too [02:48] and i'll be able to share Basket notes with people that use windows and macs [02:48] :D [02:49] how will the windows compatibility work btw? is it like installing the .net framework or something? [02:50] well Qt just works on windows mac and *nix [02:50] same source code for all [02:51] if it works on one, it should (if not using platform specific features) work on all [02:51] so the windows user just installs the app without any other (big) libs and stuff? [02:51] if you build static yes.. [02:52] they install Qt, but that's not a big deal. they already install Qt if they have google earth or skype [02:52] alot of things use QT [02:52] i always hated installing .net/mono apps simply because i had to install a big framework.. [02:52] and they seem fine with using firefox (which uses static GTK+) [02:52] which us HUGE [02:53] they probably already have Qt, if not, they get an .exe to install it, or go to trollteck and download it [02:53] but for example BasKet is one app that i'd like to share with some people in my team.. would be cool if it would just work (if the devs make it compatible that is) [02:54] getting kdelibs to compile on windows is the hardest part [02:54] and the most important [02:54] duh :D\ [02:54] it's been *nix only for so long it needed a complete rewrire [02:55] as with the rest of the kde core componants [02:55] if you can get kdelibs, kdepimlibs and kdebase to compile and install in windows, then you can get pretty much any kde app on it [02:56] well.. if you say it's so easy to use QT as a framework it should become a standard in no time [02:56] Qt, not QT :p [02:56] my bad [02:56] :)) [02:56] and it must be easy if I did it :p [02:57] i wouldn't know... when is build UI's it's in html and css [02:57] learnt some basic C++ (ie: finished my beginners book) last month and spent a few days reading the Qt guides and tutorials [02:58] I didn't use any html/css, just pure C++ [02:58] that's what was so cool [02:58] I don't even have to be a good designer :p [02:58] i'm a web developer.. but i always wanted to try some C stuff [02:59] tried it too but only as a toy [02:59] hey [02:59] what's the command for configuring xorg.conf [02:59] the program that does it based upon Q&A [02:59] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:59] thank you [02:59] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:59] yeah [02:59] heh [03:00] hey you're not sleeping.. so i guess no hardy packages yet? :)) [03:01] ok, kdeartwork-kde4 failed to build (should be a small fix), kdepim-kde build depends on a non existent package, now that's going to be a pain [03:01] I set k9copy to 4300mb and it's still making files too big for a dvd5 [03:01] this is is my ppa, I don't have any control over the ubuntu main buildds [03:02] hmm [03:02] any chance to install your packages on hardy? [03:03] well, it took 2 days to get to this point for gutst [03:03] gutsy* [03:03] i'm in a hurry because if i don't, i'll just erase this ubuntu and install a clean kubuntu... and i probably won't risk it's health with kde4 [03:03] and the source packages are in the hardy repos, just need to be built [03:04] you can't damage the kubuntu install by installing kde4 packages [03:04] i can't take any more gnome :| [03:05] why are you using hardy anyway? [03:05] so your ppa is no good for me? [03:06] no, my packages are build against the gutsy version of libraries. even if you installed the package they wouldn't work [03:06] what if i changed my repos back to the gutsy ones? [03:07] wouldn't work either [03:07] damn it... i still don't know why i changed the repos to hardy [03:07] you'd have newer package that are available, so no change [03:08] looks like kde4libs debs should be moving in to universe soon === sparr__ is now known as sparr [03:09] anyway, I'll come back to the packages tomorrow (or 4 hours, which ever comes first) :P [03:09] sleep well [03:10] * stdin heads to bed, to sleep per chance to dream... about something other then C++ classes for a change [03:12] Why would I get this error message...

[04:06] But at least I can make my computer look like Vista. [04:06] i think this laptop shouldnt be running 4. its not fast enough lol [04:06] At least then it looks like it's supposed to screw up [04:07] DrUnKnMuNkY: kwin was buggy? [04:08] I guess I'll go to compiz, thanks for your guys' help [04:08] DaSkreech: for me it gave me lots of issues. windows wouldn't display properly.. usually it was just that their titlebars weren't displaying properly. i think it was a problem with compiz though. emerald+compiz has worked fine [04:09] DrUnKnMuNkY: DaSkreech: I am using e+c [04:09] I'm really out of the compiz loop [04:09] !purekde [04:09] purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [04:10] jagcorvair: you can /msg ubotu too [04:10] DaSkreech how does the quick access command line work?

[05:44] when i kill them, they come right back too. [05:45] it also lists "getty" like 6 times. [05:46] earl: open a terminal and type: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 status [05:46] earl: The getty lines are normal [05:47] * Usage: /etc/init.d/apache2 {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload|start-htcacheclean|stop-htcacheclean} [05:48] earl: And you haven't installed apache web server or don't want it running?

Sounds to me like a security breach has taken place. [05:49] okay. sounds like it's gone. [05:49] no i don't think it's anything that serious. [05:49] earl: Did you perhaps install lamp? [05:50] i don't think so; [05:50] i've been fooling around with a lot of different programs. kiba-dock, compiz, stuff like that. [05:50] earl: Well, if you didn't install a web server, then someone else did and it's running.. serving something [05:50] its possible something installed apache as a dependency [05:51] where are the acpi settings in kde? i cant find them again and i need to change something...i forgot where they were [05:51] next question: how do you disable kicker? [05:52] earl: You don't want the kde panel at all?

[05:57] no it was some gui somewhere i didnt edit the file myself.. [05:59] hello [05:59] next question: have you been having trouble with getting your lappy to sleep?

[06:19] grub loads fine, just nothing else...always freezes/hangs at the 'mounting local filesystems' phase [06:20] what about the live cd? [06:20] it hangs too...will not complete being loaded [06:20] did you recently mess with hw [06:21] Hello guys. Can abybody advise me any software (it will be better if it is free and open) for solving this kind of task: I have a predefined table where information is stored. For example there are 15 columns. There are a lot of people who have to manage that information, but some of them can have access only to 5 columns and others can read all but change nothing. Also I need to setup predefined values for each column os people couldn't paste their data [06:21] into that columns. Is there any open and free solution for my problem? [06:21] nope, not at all...this happened tonight after a simple system total-freeze and cold boot [06:21] TillUnn: sql? [06:22] Nyle: yes. it would be great if it uses MySQL for example [06:22] Tillunn: Sounds like you're looking for a generic table front-end with column level access control. [06:22] Nyle, sorry...thought u might be talking to me...guess not [06:22] TillUnn: no idea [06:22] bigtrouble: i was [06:23] TillUnn, sounds like a 30 minute job if you have any knowledge of Python and/or Django :) [06:23] nite613_: yes. it is exactly what i mean. so is there any solution? [06:23] I don't know of anything, that's the type of thing you usualy pay a couple hundred $ to a freelancer to whip up for you in php [06:23] oh, thx :) [06:23] bigtrouble: unfortunately I just worked 16 hours [06:23] NickPresta: yes maybe... [06:23] Im laying down in bed about to enjoy a well earned smoke [06:23] i have no energy to help anyone [06:23] Don't smoke in bed! [06:23] im just chatting cuz im bored [06:24] Nyle, that's ok...thx anyway [06:24] but i can say this [06:24] you should maybe check your bios settings [06:24] But the time is limited. And in addition there MUST be versioning support with rollback to any of previous conditions [06:24] did you by any chance save any settings regarding ide/raid setup or anything [06:25] TillUnn, your task seems pretty specific. Perhaps a custom solution is required. I can't think of any premade models off hand... [06:25] Yeah, that's really a custom software job. Sounds like it could be pretty cheap, though [06:26] If this were 2001 I'd offer to write it for you for $400 ;) [06:26] nite613_: would ou do it for 18.99? [06:26] Nope! [06:26] i would [06:26] I'll do it for $18.99 and hour and I promise this will take no less than 40 hours ;) [06:26] what? [06:26] is that supposed to make sense? [06:26] ;) [06:27] TillUnn: Hire Nyle, he says he can do it for $20 [06:27] no [06:27] not for 20 [06:27] Nyle, I want my $1.01 finders fee [06:27] for 18.99 [06:27] hmm [06:27] Well gentlemen (and ladies), I'm off to bed for the night. [06:27] hmm [06:27] ok bye [06:28] bigtrouble: before you boot the live cd, hit f4 or f6 i think to modify boot options. in the kernel parameters line, take out the boosplash option and see at which step the live cd fails to start [06:29] TillUnn: you could try Rentacoder.com or somesuch, though the skills of the programmers there vary wildly. [06:29] Nyle: that or Alt + F1 to get to tty [06:30] snowdonkey: that doesn't show whats going on [06:30] it just gives you a login prompt [06:30] nyle: Ah, my mistake [06:32] I am going to go watch XXX [06:32] i have both of em [06:33] vin deisel or ice cube? [06:36] Nyle: can i pm you? [06:37] why? [06:37] unless you wanna have cyber *** don't bother ;) [06:37] for all support, just ask in the channel [06:37] i want to ask you some specific questions about the task i explained above. may be i could hire you? ;) [06:37] So can I? :) [06:37] you may not [06:38] I am not willing to take any jobs [06:38] O.K.

My kubuntu feisty asked me last night to upgrade to Gutsy, so I did. But, about 4 package upgrades failed, but the progress bar continued growing. However, it stalled at 54%... I let it ran for over 6 hours but the upgrade stalled, so I rebooted... now I'm using it but there are several errors ocurring... no dhcp client, some commands crashing... what should I do to fix it? [09:01] Does "/usr/lib/kde4/bin/konsole: error while loading shared libraries: libkdeprint.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" ring any bells? It's supposed to be in kdelibs5 but isn't [09:06] I just re-installed kdelibs5, kdelibs5-data and kdelibs5-dev but to no avail. And yet packages.ubuntu.com claims that libs/kdelibs5 contains usr/lib/kde4/lib/libkdeprint.so.5 [09:06] something is messed up and I'm hoping it's me... [09:08] but... of course... I'm installing rc from another repository, so what packages.debian.org says has nothing to do with it.

[09:16] stephan_: you can't see the file because it's a theme for gnome, and not for kde [09:16] I know, I already installed GDM, and have used several gdm themes successfully, but only those that an be installed through adept.

I almost never use the packages :) [09:38] I don't get it, it was working just fine before I restarted [09:40] thanks, sorry [09:40] Jucato: so what do you use? [09:40] svn :) [09:43] ok this question is half kde, does anyone know if macports has kate? [09:44] i use a mac at work, and i hate the mac alternatives. [09:44] #kde-darwin [09:44] :) [09:44] wow they have a channel for everything [09:49] anyone have a Motorola A1200 Ming that they change themes and ringtones on??? what program are you using if you do??? === przem is now known as przem__ [10:05] salut tout le modne === dragon_ is now known as bytems [10:07] <_Shade_> hi [10:07] hi! [10:07] <_Shade_> is there anyone familiar to kde4? [10:07] hiho [10:07] a bit.. [10:08] Hi all ! I'm trying to figure out why apt-get wants to remove the kde metapackage when i remove superkaramba ? Is it a problem, will it brake the kde desktop ? [10:09] <_Shade_> i have just built the recent version and i am a bit amazed about the progress here in just two weeks. It's becoming usable! [10:09] BB83, kde is just a meta-package.. it contains only depencies. you won't lose anything even if it's removed. [10:09] _Shade_: Yeah, all the pieces are beginning to come together very rapidly! [10:09] it is looking nice _Shade_ [10:11] nice story about it at osnews.com [10:11] thaks pag ! [10:11] *thanks [10:11] np :) [10:11] <_Shade_> one thing i'm wondering is when i right click on the desktop, i haven't got some usual actions like create new file or configure the desktop. Will it be implemented? [10:12] _Shade_: I'd suggest asking in #plasma, but I think everyone is asleep atm :) [10:12] not sure about the final form--the link above leads to one of the devs blog posts--a bit more meat there [10:12] _Shade_: "Configure" should be there, but I think it missed the RC1 inclusion cut-off. [10:14] <_Shade_> SSJ_GZ: well it is some kind of configure but it allows only the slideshow mode, nothing else [10:14] <_Shade_> SSJ_GZ: do you know how can i enable the kwin compositing> [10:15] _Shade_: I think configuration via the UI is still very primitive. The panel, as far as I'm aware, currently has no available config options - you have to actually change the source code itself! :) [10:15] anybody tried the new KDE [10:16] _Shade_: Right-click on a window border -> Configure Window Behaviour(?) -> Desktop Effects [10:16] _Shade_: That's purely from memory, so probably wrong :) [10:16] haha [10:16] apparle: Yes, we're talking about it now ;) [10:16] sup e'rybody [10:17] apparle: I did. didn't work. [10:17] what the problem is? [10:17] apparle: missing /usr/lib/kde4/lib/libkdeprint.so.5 so nothing interesting will run, not even konsole [10:17] Hello I've got problem with my kde. When I open Konqueror, all anything else I get error: could not find mime type application/octet-stream, Please can you tell me what can I do to avoid this problem? [10:18] have you got a desktop icon linking to konqueror? [10:18] mzolisi: in the version that packages.ubuntu.com knows about, that library is in kdelibs5 which I've got installed from the 4-RC1 package, but I get no such library [10:19] is there anyone here with /usr/lib/kde4/lib/libkdeprint.so.5 installes who could tell me what package it's from? [10:19] have the same problem , is messing up my upgrade to Gutsy [10:19] mzolisi: no I don't have [10:19] przem: so you click on the system tray to get to conqueror? [10:20] oh, and the usual having to --ignore-overwrite to get kde packages to install. There is a slightly broken script somewhere. [10:20] mzolisi: no I usualy press alt+F2 and enter ~ fo instance [10:21] mzolisi: to get to my home folder [10:21] <_Shade_> SSJ_GZ: ok got it... nice but a bit slow [10:21] przem_, try to look in your filetypes settings in kde. You probably have something wrong like a generic entry for all extensions (I had that same problem) [10:21] could someone with a working kde4 tell me what 'dpkg --search /usr/lib/kde4/lib/libkdeprint.so.5' returns? [10:21] mzolisi: but this error shows almost all the time [10:22] sorry Logi: did'nt give much time to that issue, but im pretty sure our problems are related and are linked to kdelibs5 : in short, im stumped...for now [10:22] BB83 is probably right === apparle is now known as DR_wolf [10:22] ok, let's hope there is a fix soon after thepackager wakes up :) [10:22] BB83: how can I get there ? [10:23] It's probably a change in the filetypes settings for files of type 'bin' ? [10:23] Can you still have konqueror to start ? [10:23] BB83: Yes === icewater1an is now known as icewaterman [10:24] in the konqueror window (kde 3.5?) you should have configuration -> file types [10:24] or something similar [10:25] przem, Sorry, it's configuration -> Configure konqueror -> file types [10:26] or "file associations" [10:27] similarly, put a shortcut to , say 'kate' on the desktop and dont associate with any filetypes . then click and you will be explicitly asked what application to associate with the 'bin' file [10:27] You have the first file type "all", I think you should have no applications associated to this (przem_) [10:27] if that makes sense [10:27] hi.. [10:27] i need some help.. [10:27] BB83: Yes I have, all [10:27] hi! is there someone here who is familiar with video drivers and xine? I do not mean ati, nvidia, etc., but xv, xshm, ... [10:27] xine doesn't seem to find them! [10:28] does anyone here use satgate internet service on kubuntu [10:28] so normally you have all, and when you open it, there's "all" and "allfiles", they should have no applications associated [10:29] BB83: Yes, they don't have any application association [10:29] ok, so it must be another one... [10:30] associate with BASH? [10:30] przem_ you have to search a bit in these filetypes, maybe remember the last you changed... [10:30] Or try 'Run in Terminal'? [10:31] IF ALL ELSE FAILS: 'locate konquerorrc' Remove that file [10:31] Start Konqueror again and you'll default to original settings [10:31] mzolisi, the allfiles wildcard should be associated to nothing, so when you open an unknown file type it will ask you wich application you want [10:32] (I think) [10:32] I installed vlc, yesterday and associated flv with that application [10:32] ok [10:32] maybe this is the problem? [10:32] has anyone configured skystar2 on ubuntu [10:32] IT IS [10:32] przem_ ok then go to the flv, and verify the wildcard [10:33] przem: konqueror is now associated with octet-stream (a video media related format) [10:33] so that makes sense [10:33] przem_ it's in the right pane (general tab) that you must specify the file names (*.flv) not, in the list [10:34] so I have to remove association with vlc right? [10:35] which is the best video player for Kubuntu [10:36] yes [10:36] ok [10:36] przem: yes, but only for the filetype that has the wrong wildcard [10:36] if the wildcard in the general tab is "*.flv" and no other, then this is not your problem [10:37] I've got two wild cards *.flv and *.FLV [10:37] and type application x-kdeuser2 [10:38] but I removed vlc [10:41] Do I have to restart KDE to see chcnges? [10:41] changes [10:41] przem_ I don't think so for filetypes [10:43] przem_ what was your message again ? About "octet-stream" ? [10:43] yes: cannot find mime type application/octet-stream [10:44] If this is the case, try to go into the file associations menu, then "application" + "octet-stream", then in the right panel where you choose the application, you should have only konqueror === _roconnor is now known as roconnor === jeroen__ is now known as jealma [10:46] morning [10:46] hi [10:46] :D [10:47] I run kubuntu 7.10 and I'd like to try out KDE4 RC1 [10:47] I'm afraid I've got no octet-stream type in the known file types tree [10:47] after installing kdebase-dev-kde4 and kdebase-workspace-dev and kdebase-runtime, how should I proceed ? [10:48] dius: root?

[10:54] przem__: solved ? [10:54] copy that directory to the one for the other user. /root/.kde/share/apps/konversation/ for the root user [10:54] also I think I should note that you shouldn't run anything root unless really really needed [10:54] Tim_t [10:54] ops [10:54] Tm_T: [10:55] i need to download something [10:55] * ScorpKing agrees with Tm_T [10:55] with konversation [10:55] but if in normal mode === jorge_ is now known as jojomadness [10:55] it doesn't open sda2 partition [10:55] if in root [10:55] like now i tried [10:55] yes [10:55] dius: fix the permissions on the sda2 partition [10:55] help me [10:55] if u can [10:56] sure [10:56] step by step....

[13:07] hi all [13:08] i'm using feisty, and since recently adept updater notifies me of a new distribution upgrade availbable (gutsy oc), but I'm not sure if there are any known issues with that upgrade ... hints? [13:09] jaguilera: known [13:09] jaguilera: if you are a laptop user and need hibernation, check launchpad first to see if it is likely to be broken for you. [13:10] Lynoure: ?? [13:10] timri: please rephrase [13:10] it's a desktop, and hibernation never worked with him, so I just don't use it ;) [13:11] jaguilera: if it's not "production system" then give it a try :-P [13:11] jaguilera: then there is a known issues page somewhere, too, I cannot remember the url, though [13:11] Lynoure: I think jaguilera's problem has little to do with hibernation. He/she is experiencing a known bug (can't recall the #) [13:11] timri: nah [13:11] timri: I only saw those comments he wrote after just joining a channel [13:11] i'm not experiencing any bug yet, I just want to be sure of any known one before hand [13:12] jalbert: , Tm: Ah, ok. I need some coffee :) [13:12] timri: I wish someone had warned me about the hibernation before I upgraded. Downgrading is too much hassle, so I have not done it yet [13:12] i guess it can't go tooo wrong so I'll just go on, and cross mu fingers [13:12] (famous last phrase) [13:12] Lynoure: I feel your pain. My laptop is completely disfunctional in the suspend/resume/hibernate/thaw department :( [13:13] thx ppl [13:13] For Gutsy, can someone advise which desktop is advisable for a new be, ubuntu or kubuntu? [13:13] * timri ducks [13:14] ubuntu: both have pros and cons [13:14] ubuntu: I'd say: try them both [13:14] Which one I install [13:14] Kubuntu ofcourse ;) [13:14] ubuntu: Try the two livecd's [13:14] timri: or install both etc [13:15] Yes I tried, right now I want features of both, but what should be my base [13:15] Tm_T: I wouldn't. I have seen too many problems from people installing kubuntu_desktop over an ubuntu install [13:16] ubuntu: Kubuntu if you ask from me [13:16] timri: I have had all 4 -desktops installed [13:16] ubuntu: Since this is a kubuntu support channel, we are all more or less partial to kubuntu :) [13:16] actually, still is [13:16] Tm_T: You are not an average user :) [13:17] Its okay I too liked Kubuntu, and want to make it default with an additional desktop of ubuntu [13:17] ubuntu: please do then, if any problems, we are here [13:17] Okay thanks see you after half an hour! [13:18] * Tm_T hides [13:19] * timri wonders why libxine in gutsy backports depends on a lot of gnome stuff [13:28] Hi all. I've recently installed the core of KDE and installed some applications for various tasks, but i might've missed some. What are some good applications for tasks i might be doing on the computer? [13:32] Arelis: Given your vague description it is difficult for us to give you pointers. You might try installing kubuntu-desktop and get a feel for the various applications. That way you can decide what you like/need. [13:34] no, i really don't want that. But i'll list my tasks, then: I need my computer for schoolwork, searching guitar tabs, listening to music, taking notes, downloading (from bittorrent AND http), managing my files, watching movies and video's, Animation (i'm an animator by hobby), drawing, painting, gaming, managing my photo's, managing my website... and i think more, but i can't think of more right now [13:34] timri: ping [13:35] are there debug packages for adept available? [13:35] Arelis: amarok, ktorrent, basket, kate, konqueror, dolphin, kaffeine, gimp, kflickr, digikam [13:39] Arelis: I don't know anything for animation apart from Blender [13:39] Arelis: An alternative to gimp: krita [13:39] Lynoure: 2d animation, i meant. Somewhat like macromedia flash [13:39] Arelis: ok, I don't know anything for 2d animation, unless you'd mean animated gifs... [13:39] Which you probably don't [13:40] Lynoure: nope, i don't. [13:40] anyone know about Avant Window Manager? [13:41] what the pre-requisites are? i see nothing related to that on the Awn website [13:42] Arelis: For animation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synfig [13:42] anyone here? [13:42] Arelis: Disclaimer: I have NO experience with the application, nor any in the animation field :) [13:42] livingdaylight: last I checked Avant, their pages said it's probably never doing to become usable, so not much I can say... [13:43] !find avant [13:43] livingdaylight: if it is packaged correctly, it should take care of it's own dependencies [13:44] File avant found in wims-modules [13:44] Lynoure: my concern is that i don't have a 3-D enabled Desktop [13:45] anyone know whether (y)AWN works with an old or non-3-D enabled Desktop? [13:46] livingdaylight: why not just try? [13:48] Lynoure: coz i wouldn't wanna break my system... [13:48] or slow it down [13:49] livingdaylight: you can probably uninstall from cli if you need to. [13:50] timri: wow synfig looks awesome, if not better than flash [13:51] :) [13:51] timri: is it better than flash? === blambert is now known as BrunoXLambert [13:52] Lynoure: its not so straightforward. its not in repos and so needs more investment setting it up; hence i just wondered if someone knew [13:52] Arelis: As I said: I have no experience with it whatsoever. In fact, I just googled for "kde vector animation". Never heard of it before ;) [13:52] timri: well, look at the demo video's [13:52] Arelis: Later perhaps, got to go now. [13:52] * timri waves. Bye all [13:52] libdvdcss where can i get it? [13:52] livingdaylight: does not seem to. you could try to contact the devs of avant?

I just downloaded the Gutsy Gibbon KDE4 RC1 packages. Awesome stuff! ARe any of the other apps being packaged? Games, Kate, KDevelop, Amarok, KOffice (I know they are on a different release schedule) etc [15:48] ok, thanks stdin [15:48] also anyone know how i can install additional plasma applets? [15:48] SHaklev: they are being packaged as quickly as I can [15:48] what about installing Kubuntu on a HD which is now hosting Win XP with NTFS by resizing the Windows partition? Couldn't I risk to damage the NTFS partition ? [15:48] SHaklev: right mouse click the desktop, add applet or plasmoid, whichever the name [15:49] stdin: ok got the dev tools still giving me qt errors like, ‘QString’ does not name a type === SHaklev is now known as houshuang [15:49] i am habituated using ctrl+enter to autocomplete webadress on firefox and ie. How do i do that on konqueror [15:49] stdin: it's said that some directories weren't removed, as they weren't empty - is this a problem? [15:49] I did google but could not find the answer to this... what has replaced inittab? [15:49] TheGentleman: of course there would always be some amount of risk but if gparted and its backends start it in my experience i have had no troubles at all resizing partitions [15:49] I mean /etc/inittab [15:50] !inittab | Pollywog [15:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about inittab - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [15:50] Hi guys.

Games, Kate, KDevelop, Amarok, KOffice (I know they are on a different release schedule) etc [15:50] lso anyone know how i can install additional plasma applets? [15:50] houshuang: kate would be in the kdesdk module of kde4 (if that's packaged too) [15:50] surgy: try making sure libqt3-headers is installed [15:50] Black_Monkey: shouldn't be a problem [15:50] houshuang: kdevelop, amarok, and koffice are all released separately/independently of kde schedule [15:50] is it safe to upgrade to the new distribution version? [15:50] houshuang: certainly there must be a #kde channel for exactly that [15:51] WaltzingAlong: he is asking for packages [15:51] Vermux: to 7.10 gutsy? [15:51] Vermux: if you mean to Gutsy, I do not recommend it if you use wmware [15:51] stdin: the repairing of GRUB failed again error 15 [15:51] but virtualbox will work [15:52] has Ubuntu gone 64-bit on SPARC yet? [15:52] never checked [15:52] WaltzingAlong, you mean i can start my kubuntu CD and just select the partition sizes I lake with very little risk? I'm worried beacuse it's the first time for me with NTFS (did it more than once with FAT disks) [15:52] like* [15:52] WaltzingAlong: yes [15:52] and if you use a Ralink wifi card, probably best not to upgrade unless you want to tinker [15:52] Vermux: but of course!

It may rember your login/password for the session however if you try to go back [16:50] It does remember :( [16:51] rkhunter gave me a couple warnings, sweet.

I once had a link to a page describing how to install the latest picasa using wine. [17:05] can't find it now :-/ [17:05] * WaltzingAlong has been using the windows picasa build through wine [17:06] Ayabara: wine picasaweb-current.exe [17:06] MilitantPotato: Phone number with that IP: 0800 1656531 (Germany), give them a call [17:06] WaltzingAlong: do you run the installer for that? [17:06] I think picasa uses wine anyway. :) well their own wine [17:06] Dr_willis: true [17:06] Home brew wine :) [17:07] Ayabara: download the .exe from picasa.google.com then wine thatexe runs the installer, yes [17:07] WaltzingAlong: on my way. thanks :-) === rui is now known as freeforever [17:08] what is intended to be used for sms messages in kontact?

[17:26] Narada: Weird, kcontrol calls it avahi-daemon [17:27] hey is there a channel for thinkpad users? having a terrible problem with my trackpoint [17:28] I think theres a thinkpad forum on the ubuntu forums [17:29] timri: done thanks so much [17:29] Happy Pre Thanksgiving Everyone I'm off to Las Vegas !!!Q [17:30] thanks dr_willis [17:31] I want to change my JAVA_HOME environment variable in /etc/enviornment, how can I reload the value after Ive changed w/o logging out and back in ? [17:31] also, how do I get to a text based startup instead of a GUI startup thing ? [17:32] disable gdm/kdm service :) [17:32] excuse me, is there something special I need to do to enable 3d acceleration on an intel IGP? (855GM) === bucatoamano is now known as pennette [17:34] Is it possible to back up files that I have on xp machine to another machine that runs Kubuntu through the network? [17:34] Vermux, yes. [17:35] Vermux, you can access the linux box with samba, and just copy things over.. or use some other backup tools. [17:35] or use ssh and winscp, [17:35] ok... quick question... keep getting message that apps like ark, dolphin, and konqueror cannot save changes to various files (bookmarks.xml, etc....) [17:35] how do I get samba and for what purpose? [17:35] says most likely full disk, but have 18Gb free. [17:36] !samba [17:36] samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT [17:36] do I just need to change permissions on the /.kde folder? [17:36] Vermux, may be easier to just use ssh and winscp then. [17:36] Vermux, how much data are you talking about? [17:36] what is winscp? [17:36] Vermux, a windows front end to ssh/scp [17:36] anyone know about the trackpoint bug with ibm thinkpad r31 (even on gutsy) [17:37] about 50 or more giga I think [17:37] what is scp? [17:37] scp = secure copy [17:37] Vermux, the copy command that ssh uses [17:38] ic [17:38] and if you dont know what ssh is... well.. :) [17:38] !ssh [17:38] SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ [17:38] I use winscp/ssh to transfer stuff to/from windows machines - when i just have to do it once or twice and dont want to mess with samba. [17:39] Ic [17:39] anyone know about trackpoint bugs? cheers [17:39] I may get to that later on.. I got an extra machine that I think I will install Kubuntu on it and use it as backup for the other xp machine [17:40] any ideas on my ? [17:41] Dr_willis: I have the machine with xp for about 4 years now. never backed up my music and media files. [17:41] Vermux, if you want the kubuntu box to be a fileserver, you will want to learn about samba. [17:41] then you can access it from windows as you would any other shared folder on a windows machine. [17:42] has anyone tried kde4 rc1 yet? [17:42] Dr_willis: what uses would I do with it if it will be used as file server? [17:42] Vermux, install and configure samba [17:43] !info samba-doc [17:43] samba-doc: Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.26a-1ubuntu2.2 (gutsy), package size 6816 kB, installed size 14752 kB [17:43] Dr_willis: would I be able to use the file server machine as just workstation too? for Linux? [17:43] the samba-doc package has whole books on the topic. :) but its rather straightforwared [17:43] Vermux, of course. [17:43] 85.190.0.3 Anyone able to sort out who/what that IP is? [17:43] My fileserver, is also a desktop, and a torrent grabber, and a vncserver, and a mythtv backend. [17:44] can i run windows (that is preinstalled on a partition) from linux kubuntu at the same time? [17:44] Dr_willis: I undersood up to the word "Desktop...." but leave it for now [17:44] Dr_willis: thanks that worked [17:45] loguser1: try VirtualBox, thats what I use to run windows in linnux [17:45] its insanely easy to setup [17:45] anyone know where i could look for trackpoint help with the thinkpad? [17:45] Problem with a preinstalled windows, under a virtual machine is that windows will basicially 'see' that its been removed and put in a totally new machine/new hardware.. That may flag the windows anti-piracy stuff. [17:46] of course if you boot back to the original machine.. the Os will see that its been changed again. [17:46] I tried installing the KDE4 RC1 as posted on kubuntu.org . However it fails with this message "Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)". [17:46] I am using kaffien to run DivX videos off stage6, but I cannot seek within the video like i would in the stag6 player on windows, is there a way arround this? [17:48] qolo: ok [17:48] Dr_willis: do u suggest installing both win and linux samba on the extra machine or just linux samba? [17:48] qolo: by that i cant run both linux and preinstalled windows at the same time [17:48] There is no 'windows samba' - Linux uses 'samba' to access the windows 'network neighborhood' type shares. and visa-versa [17:49] unless you mean installing 2 os's. in that case.. do what you want. :) i dont see much need for windows on the other box. [17:49] how can i see my network computers [17:50] Dr_willis: ok, I think I will install kubuntu. does samba is an additional software or it has to be installed together with kubuntu?

[17:54] As a long time Debian user ready to move to kubuntu, I was confused on a couple of things. I am used to just installing whatever I want and running whatever window manager I want. My temptation was to load up ubuntu first and add the kde packages. Does that make sense to do? [17:54] to get both Gnome and KDE apps === kopyto is now known as kopyto_ === kopyto_ is now known as kopyto [17:55] you can do so [17:55] jak přehrávat videa z youtube přes konvector?

RC 1 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php [17:56] can one run both KDE 4 and compiz? [17:57] Whistleboy: if you install ubuntu first, it's best to install "kubuntu-desktop" package rather than "kde" [17:57] can i run windows (that is preinstalled on a partition) from linux kubuntu at the same time? [17:57] what options do i have. and is there a place where i can get their details.? [17:57] i ran rkhunter and /bin/su has it's permissions and group changed, the group is "admin" my samba share is a member, is this typical? [17:57] ok, yea I had seen that. thanks [17:58] what was the reason for having compiz on ubuntu but not kubuntu? [17:59] are there any disk partitioning recommendations? I've had /var /usr /home and /, and swap on Debian - probably overkill [18:00] I assume separate /home is a good idea [18:00] but any advice on how big to make the / partition? [18:00] Whistleboy: http://blog.linuxkungfu.org/blog/index.php?/archives/15-My-Partitioning-Preferences.html [18:01] thanks. So far I am extremely impressed at the level of polish over Debian, and I am a big Debian fan! [18:01] hey, i can't access administrator mode in system settings. I never get prompted for my password.

[18:08] loguser1, you dont normally run 2 os's at once. you boot to the one you want to use.

How u would suggest installing Kubuntu? [18:15] how to remove al packages and only keep the linux-image-generic(and dependent packages) + ubuntu minimal(and dependent packages) metapackages ? [18:15] Vermux, may as well keep it simple and put /home and swap on one, and / on the other. [18:15] Vermux, 10gb may be plenty for / , but it all depends on your needs [18:15] 10gb for / will NOT work for me. :) [18:16] Dr_willis: my needs currently are to play with linux and to back up my data that resides currently with windows on another machine [18:17] no one ? [18:17] anyone know why system settings won't let me enter administrator mode? [18:19] ryan-c: Are you logged in as first default user that was created, or a subsequent username? [18:19] default user [18:19] it prompts me for my password, but then fails to load the module as root. [18:19] I can sudo with that user. [18:19] ryan-c: Ah, that was my next question, about the sudo etc [18:20] ddddd: dpkg -l | grep '^ii' | awk '{ print $2 }' will give you a list of all packages installed [18:20] ryan-c: kdesu systemsettings ? [18:20] ryan-c: Did you chmod anything in that user's dir to other than that user's ownership?

(sorry for my english : i'm french) [18:25] I'm trying to install Ubuntu 64 bit off the alternate CD. Can someone help me partition my harddrive without erasing anything i've got on there? [18:26] ryan-c: Perhaps try reinstalling the app, eg: sudo apt-get remove --purge kde-systemsettings; sudo apt-get install kde-systemsettings [18:26] DK, well.. when in doubt BACKUP the imporntant stuff [18:26] genii, I already reinstalled [18:26] DK, i normall y use the live cd and the gparted/qtparted to resize the partitions manually, then install into the unallocated space. to be 'extra' safe [18:26] ryan-c: With the --purge ? [18:26] Dr_willis: so every time Im turning on the computer I will have to mount the 2nd hd (in case that I put /home on it)? [18:27] genii: not with purge [18:27] Vermux, thats what /etc/fstab does for you :) [18:27] since when is reinstalling the answer? :D [18:27] Dr_willis: did that, but my computer has windows installed as a partition instead of having a separate CD [18:27] WaltzingAlong: Just one app, not the entire OS :) [18:27] Dr_willis: I'm installing off the alternate CDs because the live CD wasnt working on my computer [18:27] Dr_willis: remind me what is it? [18:28] do i need to worry that that's removing kubuntu desktop? [18:28] ryan-c: Nah [18:28] DK, that... almost made sence.. you have a single HD. with 2 windows partitiosn on it? a system partition and a rescue/restire partition? [18:28] !fstab [18:28] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [18:28] Dr_willis: I'm trying to put ubuntu on a 15 GB partition without erasing anything else [18:28] it's just a meta package, isn't it? [18:28] DK, do you need to make any changes to the partition table? [18:28] Dr_willis: yeah. One HD, 1 partition for my OS, 1 with the backup/reinstall files on it [18:29] DK, im not sure if the alternative cd- has a resize feature. I always either use a live cd (there are other distro/live cds that may work) to repartition with gparted manually. [18:29] ryan-c: I'm trying to make a 3rd partition [18:29] can you either a) back up your data or b) afford to lose it? [18:29] I always perfer to have a 2nd hd just for linux. :) unless of course this is a laptop. [18:30] Dr_willis: this is on my laptop [18:30] Is there any way at all to view or convert .sub files to a usable format under Linux? [18:30] ryan-c: I'd rather not loose it [18:30] Dr_willis: I prefer to go tell windows to get the fsck off my computer >:) [18:30] DK: can you back it up? [18:31] ryan-c: my most important documents are backed up, but I still want to keep windows on my computer [18:31] Dr_willis: that's fair. I want to have both OSes here [18:31] genii: purging and reinstalling didn't work. [18:31] kaminix: mplayer or vlc can probably deal with them [18:32] DK, so you need to resize the windows partition? [18:32] I'd prefer it if I could use mplayer somehow. VLC is okay, but mplayer is a big no no for an entire movie. :/ [18:32] ryan-c: sounds about right. I'd like to make a 3rd partition for linux [18:33] It looks like the sudo is successful, but then it chokes because the subset/module of systemsettings called serviceconfig cannot be found. [18:34] genii: yeah, that was my conclusion [18:34] DK, can you afford to spend $30 on partition magic? [18:34] ryan-c: does /usr/bin/serviceconfig exist? [18:34] ryan-c: is it cool to pm you?

[18:38] the linux one doesn't work well unless you defrag under windows first [18:39] always a good idea to defrag/scan the disks, befor and AFTER resizing them [18:39] heh , beware of partition magic ...it can really screw up you drive(s) [18:39] I tend to use gparted with no hassles so far. on the 20+ machines. [18:39] ryan-c: are you sure? I recommended the gparted liveCD to a lot of people - only positive feedback [18:39] Ive had partition magic - magicially trash things. [18:39] never had any issues with PM when i used windows, but now it's gparted all the way :D [18:39] !GParted | ryan-c [18:39] ryan-c: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program.

I've got three options here. #1 primary 109 GB B K ntfs /media/sda1, and under it it says 8.2MB free space [18:40] * genii sips a coffee and thinks [18:40] then #2 primary 9.9GB K fat32, and #3 primary 1.1 GB k ntfs [18:40] i have hundreds of problems with symantec. 95% of them start with 'norton' [18:40] also, post install, i did aptitude reinstall on every package on my system.

[18:42] well, I've tried the live CDs, and none have worked for either ubuntu or kubuntu [18:42] so now im using the alternate install CDs [18:43] genii, reinstalling kcontrol didn't work [18:43] ryan-c: When i did a test of removeing kcontrol it has on the list of items to remove: kcontrol kde-systemsettings kmplayer-konq-plugins konq-plugins konqueror kubuntu-desktop kubuntu-konqueror-shortcuts [18:44] I could delete every file the package owns then reinstall. [18:44] well, kubuntu-desktop is the entire metapackage [18:44] So i would not suggest [18:44] work, afk [18:44] DK, gparted is a live bootable cd , that works with windows and linux ...very easy to use and has proven to be safe and effective. [18:45] can anyone help me partition my hard drive using the alternate Ubuntu CD? [18:45] Blues Kaj: is it free? [18:45] yes [18:45] kubuntu-desktop is just a met package, it can be safely removed without harming the system. Purging it, however, is another matter entirely [18:45] DK, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php [18:46] gparted live cd - is a MUST have in your PC toolbox. :) [18:46] Puppylinux, and a DSL live cd are also worth having handy [18:47] Blues Kaj: I've never really partitoined a hard drive before. Is this simple? [18:47] also getting "kio (KSycoca): ERROR: No database available" errors when trying to use administrator mode on stuff [18:47] DK, if you have never done it befor.. I highly suggest the parted live cd. If it works.. [18:48] Dr_willis: I've tried the ubuntu/kubuntu live CDs for my computer, none have worked [18:48] ryan-c,try : sudo updatedb [18:48] Dr_willis: And putting puppylinux, DSL, MEPIS, knoppix and Kubuntu livecd all on a live dvd is even handier :) [18:48] DK, try the others... [18:48] Dr_willis: I've only gotten the alternate CDs to work so far [18:48] ardchoille, dont for get geexbox [18:48] Dr_willis: Ah.. :) [18:48] Dr_willis: what others? as in, older versions? [18:48] DK, the others dsl/puppy are not ubuntu takeoffs. they are from different peoples.. they should work [18:48] If you cant get ANY live cd's working at all.. well thats a bad sign [18:49] hi all on the old version of kubuntu(feisty) my mobile communicated as expected now on the new version(dusty dawn) plug the phone in and nothing... where do i start to try and sort this out? [18:49] Dr_willis: I'm not sure what those things are [18:49] They tend to default to very 'safe' defaults. [18:49] DK, Gparted livecd, mentioned above, would be what i would download/try next. [18:49] its only like 50mb. [18:49] dusty dawn? wt... [18:49] lol [18:50] are we talking about the same distro here? [18:50] DK, you may have to go into your BIOS boot sequence to make the the cd/dvdrom #1 on the sequence list [18:50] Dr_willis: so which live CDs did you say I should try? === JackWinter is now known as JackAway [18:50] Daisuke_Laptop.. lol i ment Gutsy Gibbon [18:50] back [18:50] BluesKaj: why? it ran last night from cron [18:50] that was weird :) [18:51] but cool :P [18:51] wb genii [18:51] BluesKaj: LOL thanks [18:51] is auto mount still default in Gutsy Gibbon [18:51] DK, the gparted live cd, Puppylinux, and DSl [18:52] ryan-c, it's an update command after installing deb pkgs [18:52] Dr_willis: I'll give those things a shot. anything I should do beforehand? i've got a lot of free space on my C drive, but do I have to do anything other than burn GParted onto a CD? [18:52] ryan-c: Do you have some default encoding that is NOT utf-8? [18:52] I doubt it. [18:52] Dr_willis: and how big should I make my linux partition? [18:52] hmm [18:52] how would i check. [18:53] if not, it'd be en_US [18:53] DK, what kind of work/play do you intend to do on the linux partition ? [18:54] DK, bigger is better. :) [18:54] Blues Kaj: I want to just try out linux. I'm a students, so mostly open office stuff, download music, email and internet. basic stuff. maybe some audio recordings [18:54] BluesKaj: I know what it does. I just reinstalled the package, i don't see the point. [18:54] anyone got vmware workstation installed on 7.10? [18:55] and it'll take forever to run.

[18:57] biopod: I don't mind learning that so much. right now i'm just trying to figure out how to partition my HD to run linux and windows without erasing any of my windows stuff [18:58] Dr_willis: why when I typ cat fstab the columns are not alligned? [18:58] http://pastebin.com/m736a8070 < console from systemsettings [18:59] DK: i think partition magic was the tool for editing partitions in windows. after that, it'll be easy [18:59] ryan-c: You are running as root? [19:00] eg:remove /root/.DCOPserver_windy__0 etc etc [19:00] (in the paste) [19:00] biopod: I was recomended GParted [19:01] i'm basically looking for a very easy way to partition my HD. should I try an old version of linux for a live CD? [19:01] DK: i never used it on windows. so i cant really say. [19:01] DK: why old version? [19:01] Vermux, so? why do you think that matters. :) [19:01] biopod: I can't get any live CDs of v7,10 to work for ubuntu or kubuntu [19:01] work time for me.. byeee... [19:02] dk: old computer? [19:02] Dr_willis: it seems to be not organized [19:02] what's the package that i need to have installed so that when i open konqueror i can go to the "view" menu and select "photobook" as a way of viewing my photos? [19:02] biopod: not really. it's an HP dv6040us [19:03] DK: should work... did you asked the guys here? i'm sure they can help (i'm a noob my self, so cant really offer anything but mental support..) [19:03] biopod: whenever I tried to install, it'd just quit after some loading text and the screen would go blank and the disk would stop spinning [19:03] maybe your disk is not good? [19:04] After upgrading to gutsy, it goes wrong when I try to print out on a small paper size from OpenOffice: Instead of centering the paper, the contents are printed to the left. This is a problem as the paper feed are narrowing towards the *center* when I adjust it to fit the paper size. It worked fine in Feisty. What is wrong? [19:04] biopod: I ran the disk check features for them. I've tired 64 bit versions of kubuntu and ubuntu, and the 86x version of kubuntu [19:05] well, looks like libk3b2-mp3 is the solution for my quation... thx, 2 all who tried to find an answer... [19:05] DK: as I said, I can't really help you with it, but you can try the 7.04 and see how it goes. [19:06] biopod: if I make the 7.04 install work, will it be an easy upgrade? [19:06] yea [19:06] DK: yea, it will be easier then you imagine [19:06] biopod: will it just update itself via downloads or how much manual effort will I have to put in? [19:06] DK , there shouldn't be any diff trying 7.10 vs 7.04 installs [19:07] is there a p2p app that can by pass any router or firewall? [19:08] Blues Kaj: well, i'm still not sure why the live CDs don't work as tey should. the text goes though, then nothing. just blank screen, no disk spinning, nothing [19:09] DK: press + a few times and see if it does anything. [19:10] ScorpKing: I think I tried that once. Do you mean any button on the keypad or the "+" button? [19:10] ryan-c: Other than messed up permissions/ownership of files in the user's home dir, corrupt/misconfigured kcontrol or kde-guidance I'm pretty much outta immediate ideas [19:10] DK: the + button on the keypad. not the + with [19:11] hi genii [19:11] * genii slides ScorpKing a coffee [19:11] damnit. [19:11] it's annoying :/ [19:11] ScorpKing: so basically ctrl, alt, and = all at the same time? just making sure I didn't do this wrong last time I tried [19:12] ty genii [19:12] DK: no. it has to be ctrl alt keypad+. it will switch resolution [19:13] ScorpKing: well, now i'm a little confused [19:13] DK: do you have a laptop or a desktop [19:13] biopod: laptop [19:13] DK: the = <+> is the wrong one [19:14] ScorpKing: that might be what I did wrong. which "+" do I use? [19:15] DK: the keypad one. [19:15] NOT shift = [19:15] DK: what ScorpKing is saying that maybe the defult screen resulotion is not set right for your computer, and that maybe it's just a matter of changing it. in linux, they have a shortcut to change the resolution, it's alt control and + ./// i dont think there are 2 + keys on your computer, so the =/+ will do. [19:16] biopod: I think I tried that one already. the thing is, it starts out normal, but then the text dissapears and the disk stops spinning [19:16] it might be the second function key and ;/: [19:16] function key* === Dresken_ is now known as Dresken [19:17] why is source-o-matic page so small? [19:17] DK: it might also be that kdm does not start. you can go to tty1 and start it manually [19:17] ja2: it was designed by little people [19:17] or you can just try to kill it with the ctrl alt backspace and see what you get. [19:18] I'll try those things out. thanks [19:18] lol it use to have more repo's.... now it only had 4!!! [19:18] !repos [19:18] The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu [19:18] que passa hombre ? [19:18] so, anyone can tell me something about vmware? [19:18] biopod: what do you want to know? [19:19] i want to know if there's another alternative for it. [19:19] yes [19:19] !info virtualbox [19:19] Package virtualbox does not exist in gutsy [19:19] bah. [19:19] !virtualbox [19:19] VirtualBox is open-source virtualization software for x86, with a proprietary "enterprise" version sporting additional features. Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox [19:20] thanks [19:20] blah blah blah [19:20] i wonder if it will run xp and photoshop cs3 on it. [19:20] biopod: maybe. i know vmware does. [19:21] ScorpKing: i thought about going open source all the way... [19:22] biopod: give virtualbox a try then. ;) [19:22] (except for the installation of xp and cs3 which are totally for work) [19:22] if it runs xp the rest will work [19:22] !emulate [19:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about emulate - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:23] silly bot. :P [19:23] except virtualbox's open version is missing a few things [19:23] ScorpKing: false logic, infortunately. 3d is still iffy at best [19:23] un* [19:23] i won't know. hehe [19:24] i use vmware and qemu here [19:26] how do i unpack a file packed as just a .gz [19:26] as in file.gz [19:28] mot gzip [19:29] or open it with ark === hbl04028 is now known as hectorber [19:30] mot_: command-line way: gunzip -d [19:43] i'd like to report another bug. something in the dapper updates breaks "startkde" the process "xrdb -nocpp -merge" hangs and leaves the gui useless. this is a fresh clean install plus apt-get update/dist-upgrade so nothing i have done. [19:43] <_al_> hello [19:43] <_al_> can someone tell me where could I find amarok2 package for gutsy gibbon? [19:45] i can't install anything. i get - subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1. how can i fix it? it's cupsys that has the error [19:46] Setting up cupsys (1.2.8-0ubuntu8.1) ... - that one === espaciousK_ is now known as espaciousK [19:48] how do i add my user to a group?

[19:52] pennette: I use kommander and maybe I can help [19:52] seems that xrdb reads from /dev/null for input. how dumb can you be and still breath... [19:53] ScorpKing: looks like bad update-rc.d usage in the postinst script. look in /var/lib/dpkg/info for the postinst script and get rid of (or fix!) the update-rc.d line [19:53] ardchoille: well :) i have a treewiget and i would like , when some item is selected, set the value to a general variable [19:53] What video codecs is not supported by linux?

[19:58] Is anyone around? [19:58] yes. in kcontrol [19:58] lego: Are you wanting to select a res that's already in xorg.conf?

[20:04] pennette: Ah, ok. @exec(@global(variable_name)) [20:05] ardchoille: :) now i try [20:05] thank [20:05] yw [20:06] pennette: http://www.kde-apps.org has a kommander scripts section [20:06] Thank you all.
