[00:03] Heh [00:03] brb [00:03] I'm installing DR-DOS 7.03 on Minataku (Toshiba Satellite 100CS) [00:04] I told it no memory manager, I plan to install a separate one [00:04] QEMM :3 [00:08] i can't play audio on my kubuntu [00:08] anyone has a solution ?! [00:08] Uadio or mp3? [00:09] mp3 [00:09] it tells me that amarok cannot play mp3 as package is not installed [00:09] and after i installed and restarted amarok it didn't play it again [00:10] Forgot how to do that [00:10] i didn't have any problem with mp3 support [00:10] Google "Mp3 codecs for kubuntu" thats wat i did [00:11] * Dr_willis jamms to Kenny G. [00:11] amarok has offered install the support, end it installed it automatically [00:11] i have a question [00:11] I belive the 'kubuntu-restricted-extras' package installs mp3 and other things as well. :) [00:11] what kubuntu did you install [00:11] did u really quit from amarok or just put it down to the panel? [00:11] or which one you already downloaded ?! [00:12] no .. i quit it [00:12] 7.10 [00:12] what size is it [00:12] ?! [00:12] less than 700 mb [00:13] i think it is the same i have here [00:13] how do you enter your root then ?! it didn't ask me about the root password in log in !! [00:14] * Dr_willis is totally confused by this conversation. [00:15] why do you need the root? [00:15] (sorry my english isn't the best :d ) [00:15] to install programs and mount HDD drives [00:15] !sudo | ahmad [00:15] ahmad: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [00:16] AHAMAD [00:16] what ? [00:16] i don't need it... hey man if i start the "add/remove programs" it's automatically asks my password [00:16] try pasting this into ur terminal [00:16] sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs [00:16] It worked for me [00:18] anyone use kicker-kblogger? [00:18] Jangari: what is that? [00:18] E: Couldn't find package libxine-extracodecs [00:18] it's apparently a rather good blog editor [00:18] I see, never heard [00:18] except i can't seem to find it [00:18] i mean, i've installed it, but can't find it anywhere in the system [00:19] Jangari, it may be the menus need to be refreshed., [00:19] hmm if I install anything in the "add/remove programs" section, it downloads and extracts the packages perfectly, but before installation ends, it writes: "problems with installation, the packages have errors" or something like this..... but the programs what i installed, are working perfectly, after this eror message too..... has anybody knows whats this? [00:19] Or ya could launch it from a terminal. [00:19] mm [00:19] what's the command? [00:19] or log out/backin and seeif it shows up.. [00:19] Jangari, no idea try 'kicker-kblogger' :) or look in apt:/ in konqueror and search the package to see what files it installed [00:20] is konqueror kubuntu's package manager? [00:20] not === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever [00:21] i don't even know how to install xmms [00:21] i am trying now to install it [00:22] ahmad: tried amarok? [00:22] Tm_T : i already tried it and it failesd [00:22] failed [00:23] ahmad: failed in what? [00:24] Tm_T : it says it cannot play mp3 and asked me to install mp3 support [00:24] Ahmad try installing vlc it comes with its own mp3 codecs that work for amarok [00:24] tashiro: untrue [00:24] and after installation i restarted it and it fails again [00:24] !codecs > ahmad [00:25] It works fine for me [00:25] did you look that? [00:25] tashiro: doesn't matter [00:25] I just installed [00:25] seems that this kubuntu version is defective [00:26] Loosen up dude i was just tryin to help [00:26] I cannot install Synce (to connect Smartphone to Kubuntu) - I get the following error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45519/ Any ideas? [00:26] tashiro: I know [00:26] tashiro: and I appreciate it [00:26] I have some screenshots showing the trouble I'm having, every second line such as this window and others like username list, is blacked out [00:26] how do I correct that [00:27] lgkan: check your coloursettings [00:27] lgkan, there are some kde color themes that do that. [00:27] it seems a big mistake to leave suse and install kubuntu [00:27] I just installed Kubuntu Gusty on a box with a Radeon HD 2400 XT. Now I tried to change the resolution to 1024*768 but now it gives me a 16 color screen. I ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and installed fglrx but it doesn't work. Any idea? [00:27] ahmad: hold on [00:27] doesnt seem to matter on the theme, happens on all themes, so colors?? [00:27] ahmad, then dont leave. I would suggest getting away from xmms however.. its code base is quite dated and i dont beliuve theres much work on it any more [00:28] lgkan: colors, see "alternate background in lists" [00:28] Dr_willis: ehm [00:28] I like the beep-media-player these days.

[00:32] these are recent issues (last 48 hours) in a normally-zippy machine [00:32] what is the difference between alternate and desktop ?! [00:32] :-shy face [00:33] desktop includes a live cd/desktop on the cd.. alternative is just an installer [00:33] oh mann [00:33] installer and packages, no live [00:33] Tm_T: i did that last night, as well as just now, and it shows very little system and cpu usage [00:33] dennister: load? [00:33] i should say memory % and cpu usage [00:33] then the alternate copy has more packages than the desktop one ?! [00:34] ahmad: no, contents in different format [00:34] but same stuff [00:34] ahmad, it may have a few more packages never counted... but proberly not many. nothing you couldent install anyway [00:34] ahmad: did kubuntu-restricted-extras install well there? [00:34] i don't know how to make this task [00:35] Tm_T : i don't know how to make this task [00:35] load average: 0.02, 1.89, 3.48 [00:35] dennister: interesting, still sluggish? [00:35] Tm_T: so sluggish it's almost unusable [00:35] dennister: weird [00:36] dennister: something in cd/dvd drive? [00:36] ahmad: run "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras" in konsole [00:36] Tm_T: nothing, and yes it's wierd...which is why i come to the experts :P [00:36] ive seen hard drive/cd be 'bad' and the system keeps scanning the disk/drive and really lag things out [00:36] Dr_willis: I have that in times [00:36] evil [00:37] Hmm. dang it - firefox keeps dieing on me. :) teach ME to go to Youtube.

[00:39] i would do a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' then try 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras' [00:39] ahmad: use pastebin :) [00:39] Dr_willis: hmm, you like? :) [00:40] Dr_willis: if you have time, help ahmad, I'm bit in the middle of something here [00:40] puta [00:40] ji all [00:40] vit___: excuse me?

[00:53] nosrednaekim ive set up VNC all the ports blahh blahh and it still refuses connection [00:53] I thought the restricted-manager thing asks by default. :) other then that - i cant think of anything else to do from the start. [00:54] JJtech: updating itself won't necessarily install the restricted graphics drivers [00:54] !vnc [00:54] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.

[01:01] how to dual boot??? [01:01] i want to use my VISTA ultimate [01:01] which os.s [01:01] every other couple of seconds [01:01] JJtech: you should probably have loaded that first [01:02] ouch [01:02] julio3patas: sure its not your DVD drive? [01:02] UGH kde sucks for mounting stuff GUI [01:02] nosrednaekim: thx that was correct! :) [01:02] yep and only use half your hard drive [01:02] i tried on a sata drive and a ide drive same thing, the drive is fine [01:02] DM|: eh? [01:03] !DMA [01:03] dma is Direct Memory Access/Addressing. It makes hard disks & optical drives transfer data faster, and is almost always enabled in Ubuntu 6.06.

[01:05] or the media:/ address [01:06] jjtech did you make the proper swap partition [01:07] i used guided [01:08] i have 2 SATA and EDIE drive.. [01:08] 1 hard disk for every OS... [01:09] Hmm.. Only beeping i can think of would be the bios beeping.. It boots up ubuntu then starts beeping? [01:09] jjtech was there any othe os.s runing at the time or was it on boot [01:11] i think when ubuntu loads up it starts beeping.. [01:11] it beeps wildy, then a very loong beep [01:11] You think? Hmm... you see the grub menu? it beeps befr/after that? [01:12] blank screen [01:12] no grub? [01:12] beep [01:12] nothing [01:12] blank screen then beep [01:12] my red LED blinking === litbang is now known as riefzu [01:12] caps lock led? [01:13] no.. on my CPU [01:13] CPUs have no LEDs [01:13] i mean [01:13] You probably mean the case [01:13] in my casing [01:13] yes [01:13] Sounds like maybe the hard drive light (hd being accessed) [01:13] Sorry, but that's an error that really annoys me [01:13] yeah [01:14] my wife calls it the 'guts' :) [01:14] lol [01:14] Dr_willis: lol [01:14] lol [01:14] :) [01:14] !compiz [01:14] Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default.

The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion [01:14] and she has a new 'lapdesk' :) [01:14] but anyways, i figured it out just recently [01:14] >.< [01:14] lol [01:14] lol [01:14] im just wondering why it beeps annoyingly [01:14] it's like it will explode or something [01:15] Dr_willis: Your wife's dictionary have lots of white out? [01:15] it beepes befor you get to any OS then? [01:15] yeah [01:15] ardchoille, you dont whant to know the fight we had over a 'mango vs. a greenpepper' [01:15] dr.willis lmao [01:15] I would say.. open up the case. dust it out.. double check all fans, power up and look. [01:16] Dr_willis: There was a recent bug that disallowed tty1-6 showing text, they're active, they just don't show anything. And if he is experiencing a grub error, he won't see the output [01:16] ardchoille, havent seen that one. [01:16] no.. there is no problem with the internals.. [01:16] Dr_willis: tons of folks confirmed it in launchpad [01:16] JJtech, you dont want to know the times ive heard that. :) [01:16] jjtech then you have something tweaked wrong [01:16] JJtech, it wont boot any os?, could try unpluging all the hd's except one. [01:17] then why when i load my VISTA it wont do like ubuntu does [01:17] live cd would be a good test also [01:17] JJtech: Did you install nvidia or ati drivers via the restricted drivers manager? [01:17] ardchoille> not yet.. [01:17] ok [01:17] * Dr_willis thinks the whole deal needs more clarification. HOW can you boot vista if you dont even see a grub menu? [01:18] Dr_willis: default entry in menu.lst ? [01:18] Dr_willis : you got me on that one? [01:18] when booting, i press F11 to choose where to boot 1st... [01:18] so hes bypasing grub totally with F11 - ive done similer with a machine, [01:19] i hav 3 hard disk, each with diffirent OS [01:19] Problem with the f11 method. is that some times hard drives get 'swaped' around in the bios ive noticed. so what was sdb when you installed.. becomes sda whenyou boot it with the bios menu feature. [01:19] i see [01:19] hi all [01:19] But ive never heard of the ubuntu system beeping.. the flashing led. ivbe seen when the kernel really really crashes bad., [01:20] i think it's not with the ubuntu [01:20] i only have 1 hd with 3 o.s and never had a prob [01:20] akira, you hit a key at boot and tell the pc what hd to boot? ive had different machines handle that 'way' differntly. [01:21] no problem with 1 hard disk..i tried that already.. [01:21] but eevnif the hd;s were getting switched - he still should be seeing a grub menu. [01:21] but i want to use each hard drive, and separate system.. [01:22] Dr_willis i never used more than 1 hd [01:23] anyway, i change settings in my BIOS, when i want to load Kubuntu i change bios settings..and it fixed.. no beeping [01:23] i have 3 hard disk, but each only 80g [01:24] Dr_willis:not is he didnt have a swap [01:25] ??? === twylight is now known as Cake [01:26] damn === Cake is now known as twylight [01:28] wifes buggin me for dinner be back latrs all [01:28] JJtech: ok, well it looks like i'll be wiping this hard drive clean over the weekend and starting from scratch [01:28] ive booted with no swap. there would be some errors if the fstab tryes to mount the thing and its not there.. but ive had it boot. [01:29] i see [01:29] got to go... bRb [01:30] JJtech: having a different OS on 2 or 3 diff 80G drives is actually a good idea...i have 2 drives and if one drive goes bad, you have a backup while u try to rescue/re-install the other [01:30] i loved the fact that while my winblows was on sata drive, i put linux on ide drive...and i never have to "fool windows" to think it's on the first drive [01:31] when i was a noob i wasted a coupla weeks following howtos on how to "fool windows"; then found out by lucky accccccident that ubuntu did all that for me [01:32] aaaaaaaaaack! [01:32] <----talks to ghosts, herself... [01:33] actually, it was my slow-to-redrrraw xorg that was at fault :P [01:33] KDE 4 is awesome! [01:35] <|Jason8|MK|> Hey guys. [01:35] <|Jason8|MK|> I just installed kubuntu today, and it didn't install my sound card. [01:36] <|Jason8|MK|> I checked in /dev/ for the sound card device, and it's not even there. [01:36] <|Jason8|MK|> Any ideas? [01:36] there are some newer sound cards/chipsets that dont have linux/alsa support.. yet... sadly. [01:36] i would say use 'lspci' and see what your sound card is. and check the ubuntu forums [01:36] also check the !alsa wiki page [01:36] !alsa [01:36] If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 === Nyle is now known as stoned [01:37] <|Jason8|MK|> Thanks.

[01:42] :( [01:43] <|Jason8|MK|> It's a High-Definition Audio card with an nvidia chipset. [01:43] i have a dual boot, and in my vista boot, xfire runs perfectly with its updates. when i log onto my linux boot and access the vista os from it to run the xfire.exe with wine, it runs the oldest version of xfire. how do i make it run the updated version?????? [01:43] someone can help me? [01:43] <|Jason8|MK|> ...Actually, most of the stuff when I use lspci comes up as NVidia Corporation: Unknown Device [01:44] jason i have nvidia hd and run good [01:44] wait [01:44] RATTTTS, i wouls suggest you reinstall xfire with wine, and not run apps from a windows hd. that has caused issues with me in the past. [01:44] true, but i cant get xfire to install with wine so i have to do it that way [01:44] its also possible thers some other xfire.exe thats the newer one. [01:44] i get some errors [01:45] im suprised that xfire works at all. :) old or new. [01:45] <|Jason8|MK|> RATTTTS: sounds like you have two copies of xfire installed. [01:45] ?? [01:45] jason8: my module is snd_hda_intel [01:45] i doubt i have 2 copies [01:45] So i got VNC working to connect to a KDE box but cant control the desktop, any ideas? [01:45] |Jason8|MK|, did you setup alsa in the soundsystem as Dr_willis suggested ? [01:45] Prove it. :) you could reinstall xfire under windows and tell it to installto c:/NEWXFIRE and see if you an run it from there. [01:46] by the way. has anyone successfully run WOW on linux without cedega? [01:46] il try that === solid_liquid is now known as solid_liq [01:46] DM|, there may be some security setting for the kde remote desktop (sounds like) I never share the current desktop - so cant tell ya even where to look.

[01:51] and dodest play [01:51] angel: you don't make much sense [01:51] doesnt play* [01:51] <|Jason8|MK|> Maybe it's because I'm running an old version of kubuntu. I got 6.06 right now.

[02:23] If it IS still running, it's likely you'll have to close it manually [02:23] yes im running compiz..unfortunately i can turn my screen into a cube for some odd reason [02:23] DM|, krdc [02:23] He meant krdc [02:23] cant* [02:23] The stupid KDE reimplementation of VNC [02:24] Dr_Willis KDE is the server not the client [02:24] wat does ps -ax do? [02:24] DM|, and yes.. you need to be sure the SERVER is not set to 'read only' type mode. [02:24] KDE seems to love taking things that exist and work excellently and making idiotic, broken reimplementations of them for no good reason [02:24] rattts dont worry about that, [02:24] ok [02:24] rattts: It'll list all running processes [02:24] DM|: Don't horn in on my assist [02:24] rattts if you are running compiz it clears the wow screen, shut it down and restart wow,, DO NOT RUN COMPIZ WHILE PLAYING WOW IN FULL SCREEN MODE [02:25] hey, does linux have a ctrl+alt+delete windows equivalent...i like being able to manage my processes [02:25] I'm trying to get him to see if WoW did indeed stop running [02:25] Minataku he has no need for that, thats not the problem [02:25] ok [02:25] Ah [02:25] Sorry then, DM| [02:25] Minataku its ok, i wasnt calling you out about it, just trying to help [02:25] I thought you were just trying to push me aside [02:25] lol [02:25] how do i shut compiz down again its been a while since i installed it and i forgot how? [02:25] Still, sorry, DM| :) [02:25] rattts alt F2, then metacity --replace [02:25] : ) [02:26] * Minataku shudders [02:26] rattts to run compiz again, AlT f2 "compiz --replace" [02:26] Ugh... metacity [02:26] so in alt f2 i type in "metacity --replace" [02:26] ok thanx [02:26] Minataku i prefer it, but this is not the place to discus it [02:26] Discus! [02:26] lol [02:26] * Minataku pulls out a frisbee and wags his fox tails [02:26] :D [02:26] XD [02:27] grr this vnc is making me want to scream [02:27] Spelling errors can be fun. :) [02:27] Did you check the link from ubotu? [02:27] !vnc [02:27] VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [02:27] It might have something that'll help [02:27] ok umm in gnome, i have 4 desktop icons i can ctrl+alt+"right or left" into...when i do metacity replace i only have 2, how do i make 4? [02:28] The thing is Minataku i can connect... but it doesnt allow me to move windows, only view [02:28] rattts: Well, when a male desktop icon and a female desktop icon love each other... [02:28] j/k [02:28] XD [02:28] rattts: you know where to go for gnome support... [02:28] lol i fixed it nvm [02:28] DM|: There's no extra info there? [02:28] thank for all the help [02:28] im logging out now cya guys [02:28] Later [02:29] Tm_T> uhhmm, my konsole here is still.. nothing happens.. shud i close it? [02:29] DM|: Hm. Perplexing problem. [02:29] Unfortunately, I've never used VNC. [02:29] JJtech: not yet, it installed and doesn't show any error? [02:29] So I can't really help [02:29] no error [02:29] whats the best way to reinstall the KDE desktop back? aptitude install kubuntu-desktop ? [02:29] Minataku yes, GNOME worked fine when i set it up the same method on a diff computer, it seems its KDE [02:29] JJtech: yay! lovely :) [02:29] Rukus: that [02:29] ok [02:29] but still i can't watch video at youtube [02:29] thx [02:30] JJtech: now, open Konqueror, settings -> configure -> plugins [02:30] Hm [02:30] ok..i'll try [02:31] To think, if you'd just used Firefox, you'd have been vegging out on YouTube videos hours ago [02:31] :P [02:31] I start the kde desktop with the SystemSettings->shareing-> Desktop, and start a inviatiation, then i run vncviewer IP.it.says:#itsays and then when it connects it ASKS if i want the client to have read only access or not. - Interesting way to do it. [02:32] its not a good idea to share the current desktop and view it at the same time in vnc viewer.. :) it was sort of like having 2 mirrors faceing each other effect. heh. [02:32] When I'm doing cross-network dealings, I usually just use X tunneling over SSH [02:32] JJtech: there's "scan new plugins" button to hit [02:32] Which takes away the need to constantly retransmit an entire screen [02:32] Tm_T> ok [02:33] Tm_T> then? [02:33] i hit the scan button [02:33] yes, when it have done the scan [02:33] see the next tab [02:33] if you find any flash related there, you're done === joseph_ is now known as ratttts [02:34] Minataku nope nothing in that helps [02:34] not a thing [02:34] hey DM| sound doesnt work on wow lol. i did the enable background sound thing but nothing happened [02:34] ratttts: again check out the link i gave you [02:34] JJtech: hmm? [02:35] ok [02:36] JJtech: back to konsole [02:36] JJtech: "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" [02:37] JJtech: and uhm, -> [02:37] TM_T is that the proper way to make flash work under amd64? is to install that? [02:37] Tm_T: apt-cache search "uhm" didn't return anything [02:37] * ardchoille hides [02:37] Rukus: no idea, I have never used 64bit system [02:38] oh ok [02:38] thanks anyways [02:40] oy this is really stinkin, VNC wont allow me to control the deskto [02:40] DM|, when i connected KDE poped up a dialog that had a checkbox to allow the remote user to controll the desktop or not. [02:40] hello [02:41] it also randomly generated a password.. which i found annoying. :) but i rarely use that method. [02:41] is there any way that i can recover my system? its all messed up! [02:41] how do I start the installer from the live cd. === jalbert is now known as MyNameIsURL [02:42] windswept: it's in desktop, icon? [02:42] guhhh: You're going to have to narrow it down a little more than that [02:42] windswept: There should be an icon on the desktop [02:42] tim, no icon... [02:42] Woohoo! I fixed the no-mouse problem in DESQview/X :D [02:43] Dr_willis lol now its just straight up refusing connections [02:43] I had to load a DOS mouse driver first [02:43] Hooray for CuteMouse :D [02:43] where can I download a debian file of the purple plugin pack for pidgin? [02:43] also, the machine currently has a version of ubuntu on it which I want to blow away. (sort of) [02:43] DM|, im testing this on a single machine using localhost as my ip: [02:43] windswept: alt+f2, type in "ubiquity" (no quotes) [02:43] DM|, i enabled the uninvited connections, and the allow uninvited connections to controll. [02:44] ardchoflle [02:44] thanks [02:44] yw [02:44] now when i 'vncviewer localhost:0' i get a dialog that confirms it. then it works. [02:44] That's rather dangerous, though [02:44] does any1 know if i can send SMS messages over internet by some free gateway? Im trying to write an application that would send SMS' to my phone when im away from computer.. is this possible? [02:45] sorry for OT [02:45] Unless you're sure that it can't get out over the network [02:45] !pastebin [02:45] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [02:46] if my system is lost, what should i copy to make a backup? /usr /var /etc /home ....? [02:46] Dr_willis thats weird, works now.. i didnt change anything [02:46] I'm trying to compile pidgin.. running ./configure worked and it said to type "make".. So I did and this happens: [02:46] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45527/ [02:46] Is kwrite not in the kmenu at all? [02:47] Dr_willis lol it crashed [02:47] DM|, dont forget the 'apply button' at the bottom. :) [02:47] DM|, now ya know why i normally SSH into a box. and run vncserver with a real light window manager, [02:47] lol i did [02:47] Dr_willis aye... lol its sad [02:47] Is kwrite only a shell that uses the kde text editor component? [02:47] ive noticed a lot of the KDE control center panels. get sized where the buttons are not seen [02:48] Dr_willis KDE is so heavy [02:48] And GNOME is so ugly [02:48] lol [02:48] DM|, i perfer the manual way. :) i keep icewm going (or jwm) and just a few apps that i always want running. [02:48] Sorry XD [02:48] ssh for the win [02:48] 41 minutes to back up a DVD so far [02:48] Fluxbox is both very light and featureful [02:48] wow [02:48] Help plz.... :'( [02:49] rdvon ask the question, dont ask for help [02:49] I asked it. >.> [02:49] we missed it [02:49] ask again [02:49] rdvon: Is there some reason you're compiling instead of using the one in the repos? [02:49] No [02:49] ardchoille: pretty much === downix is now known as A`Adjensenu [02:49] rdvon sudo apt-get install pidgin [02:50] Not pidgin >.> [02:50] You don't have to ask again, we can just scroll (or look) up [02:50] the pidgin plugin pack [02:50] I meant the plugin pack. [02:50] Ah, ok [02:50] Dr_willis anyway to scale down the effects and stuff so my VNC is faster [02:51] rdvon: That amke file is messed up === A`Adjensenu is now known as Downix [02:51] rdvon: in "rm -f $file && -o $file en_AU.po" That "-o" is an argument that is missing a command [02:51] lol [02:52] rdvon: That's the reason for the "/bin/sh: -o: not found" error [02:52] ok, I ran cedega no problem yesterday, but today after update, the graphics driver for my nvidia no longer seem to handle 3D at all [02:52] DM|, use a lighter window manager/desktop. :) disable wallpaper. disable fancy themes, eyecandy, other stuff... [02:53] I highly recommend Fluxbox [02:53] DM|, of course you will be turning them off on your main desktop as well.. [02:53] * Dr_willis highly reccomends jwm [02:53] :P [02:53] It's extremely featureful while also being extremely light [02:53] He IS replacing this on his MAIN DESKTOP [02:53] It's extremely featureful while also being extremely lighter. :) [02:53] * ardchoille looks up jwm [02:53] JWM is a bit light for that [02:53] Minataku Fluxbox is too simplistic for me, i find it ugly, thats why im trying KDE [02:53] I use compiz fusion with a nice vista-ish style theme. [02:53] Flame effects optional. [02:54] ;) [02:54] KDE + VNC = proberly going to be slow no matter what. [02:54] Then forget about ever using VNC [02:54] thats what im fearing [02:54] im using ssh mostly [02:54] * BonesolTeraDyne perfers afterstep for a light desktop [02:54] now freenx might be a little better. [02:54] and running apps through ssh [02:54] freenx doesnt have resumable sessions, or i havent found out how to do it [02:55] never noticed. :) never used freenx actually. Last i looked there was some bugs with it and gutsy. [02:55] I'm still getting the same compile error >.> [02:55] Dr_willis: jwm reminds me of icewm [02:55] Dr_willis worked fine for me under gnome [02:55] ardchoille, its lighter :) its about as basic as one can get and still have a start button. [02:55] rdvon, the makefiles created for my system didn't have errors in them. I don't know what to tell you [02:56] archdoille: so how do i fix the make file? [02:56] I just compiled the plugin pack [02:56] Yeah, jwm is incredibly light and very nice [02:56] any know how to install n1 mimo wireless card driver on xubuntu? [02:56] I just got downloaded and configured again. [02:56] same error. [02:56] jwm does have some issues with twinview/dual monitors however. [02:56] But it's a little too light IMO for standard use [02:56] rdvon: I'd contact the developer and ask him/her. You're going to have to, cuz it's simply not gonna work as it. [02:56] I use it for vnc. and my mythtv box desktop. [02:56] It's good for very tight systems === joseph_ is now known as ratttts [02:57] ardchoille: is there a .deb file I could use :'( [02:57] whats a good media player for linux? [02:57] for music [02:57] rattts: amarok [02:57] rythymbox i like [02:57] But I prefer to step up to Fluxbox for capable systems [02:57] Like Piyoko [02:57] Amarok! :) [02:57] ratttts: Audacious [02:57] wow a big mix lol [02:57] ratttts, amarok. bmpx, songbird. [02:57] Of course, songbird. [02:57] rdvon: Be careful with .deb's, find one made for Ubuntu, don't use one made for another distro cuz that's a bad idea. [02:57] Definitely use Audaciots [02:57] songbird is getting better all the time. :) [02:57] Dr_willis they finally fix songbird of all the bugs and crashes? [02:57] *Audacious [02:57] anyone know how to run ndis wrapper? [02:57] honestly. which one is lightly packaged and easy to use [02:57] ratttts: Audacious. [02:57] DM|, havent seen it crash on me lately. they di release a new version last week [02:57] ardchoille: could you send me a precompiled .deb... plz... :'( [02:58] Ever use XMMS? [02:58] rattts if you use gnome, just use rythmbox [02:58] ok thanks ill give it a try [02:58] rdvon: songbird... heh, I forgot about that thing. [02:58] anyone know why an update of the system would cause 3D to fail? [02:58] Audacious is pretty much the exact same [02:58] rattts: no no no. use amarok [02:58] ;) [02:58] rdvon: I don't have one [02:58] * BonesolTeraDyne goes off to get the latest version [02:58] !info bmpx [02:58] bmpx: Beep Media Player eXperimental. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.40.0~rc3-1build1 (gutsy), package size 2999 kB, installed size 9264 kB [02:58] lol [02:58] So if you've ever used Winamp then you'll be comfortable with Audacious, too [02:58] ardchoille: could you compile quickly.. only takes a sec :'( [02:58] i sense "brand" loyalty here [02:58] Plus, I know a developer of it [02:58] ok ya i used winamp [02:58] rdvon: And I don't compile. If it isn't in the repos, I don't use it :) [02:58] So if you have problems, I can bug him for you [02:58] ill try audacious first [02:58] lol [02:59] j/k, but you can always report any bugs, of course [02:59] :D [02:59] If rattts doesn't want access to an extensive script collection which you can download within amaroK then sure. go with the other ones :P [02:59] Victory is mine! [02:59] rdvon: Useless waste [02:59] He's already not using KDE because it's a bloated pile [02:59] we all need 1000+ scripts to paste what we are listing to - into irc. [02:59] :) [02:59] wats that command to completely remove somethign asgain?..i know it has the word purge in it [02:59] Dr_willis omfg, i cant reboot the computer and connect via VNC [02:59] It's just purge [02:59] Minataku: well... fine... But everyone I'm talking to on pidgin knows what I'm listening to via the pidgin plugin :P [02:59] You need to make it a switch, though [03:00] DM|, Now you get to learn 'trouble shooting 101' skills. :) [03:00] no lol its not purge [03:00] kopete can do that too [03:00] rdvon: Those scripts are incredibly annoying and also banned most places [03:00] Dr_willis im just tired, its KDE's problem [03:00] its some long command to completely remove something [03:00] Minakatu: For im. Not on irc. [03:00] That'd be annoying >.> [03:00] I don't even use IM, thankfully [03:00] Dr_willis KDE have an XDMCP option? [03:00] Considering IM is already annoying enough [03:00] DM|: IIRC has already [03:00] xorg has xdmcp [03:00] Minataku: IM is the greatest thing on earth. [03:00] !xdmcp [03:00] ok let me ask it this way, what do you guys type in the termianl to completely remove some software you have installed? [03:01] xdmcp is the X Display Manger Control Protocol -- look at http://tldp.org/HOWTO/XDMCP-HOWTO/ to find out how to configure it [03:01] rdvon: The crap it is [03:01] ok let me ask it this way, what do you guys type in the termianl to completely remove some software you have installed? [03:01] It's as bad as cell phones [03:01] also stuff on xdcmp/think client on the ubuntu wiki [03:01] rdvon, I created a deb using checkinstall. I can't promise you it will work on your system but I suppose it's worth a short? [03:01] Minataku: rdvon: offtopic [03:01] s/short/shot [03:01] ratttts: emerge --remove packagename [03:01] Could someone *please* compile this for me. :'( [03:01] http://downloads.guifications.org/plugins//Plugin%20Pack/purple-plugin_pack-2.2.0.tar.gz [03:01] Ok, that's annoying. Konqueror just decided that blogger.com doesn't need a working editor, and now the page is non-functional. [03:01] But that won't work for you [03:01] lol [03:01] and make a .deb [03:01] :( [03:01] flaccid looks like i have to install gdm :P [03:01] rdvon, look at my messages above [03:01] Oh thanks nic. [03:01] *nick [03:02] rdvon: If that make file is corrupt, no one else will be able to compile it either [03:02] DM|: you don't have to use gdm, i guess that was what the guide was written for.. you can use kdm [03:02] rdvon, meet me in #kubuntu-offtopic for the deb/information [03:02] ardchoille, I just compiled it just fine on my system [03:03] ardchoille: It's "makefile" [03:03] No space [03:03] flaccid that guide isnt written for ubuntu [03:03] hey guys [03:03] DM|: the one on the ubuntu wiki is [03:03] i have a computer on a livecd [03:03] I wasn't aware the phonics police were here [03:03] ardchoille: There's a big difference [03:03] hye [03:03] and im trying to mount a osx drive [03:03] flaccid it linked me a tldp.org [03:03] Namely, if you add a space, it doesn't work right [03:04] its giving me the error that its not in fstab [03:04] ubuntu wiki is a good place to search for anything you need to do. if its not there add it after you have done it :0 [03:04] DM|: search the wiki... [03:04] I am [03:04] Minataku: Worked quite well for me, I added a space and irssi posted the sentence :P [03:04] how would i go about puting the right information in fstab in order to mount the drive [03:04] ardchoille: Try naming it "make file" in your next programming project [03:04] It'll fail without specific instructions to make [03:05] Minataku: and you can stop that offtopicing [03:05] At which point you're just being stupid [03:05] !coc | Minataku [03:05] Minataku: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ [03:06] Uh, if you named it "make file" in your project, that would be stupid. You can ask anyone and they'll agree. [03:06] I wasn't calling you stupid [03:06] lol im gonna set it to auto login... lololo [03:06] I was saying that it's a stupid thing to do. :P [03:06] nobody isn't renaming anything so stop it [03:08] Sorry, as an engineer, if it's not correct within reasonable tolerance, it's wrong. [03:08] well we arent engineers [03:08] Thanks for your help everyone. [03:08] the 8ball loves you all. [03:08] rdvon : ) [03:08] The Purple 8 Ball says: It's possible [03:08] Haha [03:09] I love tose things [03:09] ;) [03:09] I had a real one, but it broke [03:09] Out of nowhere it started leaking :( [03:09] :( [03:09] Dr_willis my only solution ... auto login [03:09] Cheap plastic 8ball [03:10] so, can anyone help me mount a ppc osx drive on a dapper livecd? [03:10] The Purple 8 Ball says: Certainly [03:10] XD [03:10] lol [03:11] rdvon: lol [03:11] Dr_Willis left [03:11] please, this is an emergency [03:11] coreymon77: It uses the Apple Partitioning Scheme [03:11] Minataku: so, what do i put in fstab? [03:11] Is this on a PPC machine or an X86 machine? [03:12] Minataku: he\she said PPC [03:12] Well, when you look in /dev, you should see partition entries there [03:12] BonesolTeraDyne: I can take a harddrive out of a PPC machine and put it into an x86 machine [03:12] It'll still use whatever scheme it used in the old machine [03:13] coreymon77: One of those entries will probably be the partition you're looking for [03:13] Minataku: ? Wha? I answered your question... [03:13] Minataku: i know the partition [03:13] BonesolTeraDyne: An HDD from a PPC Mac can be put into an x86 PC [03:13] later all [03:14] Minataku: thats not the point [03:14] Minataku: its a laptop [03:14] Minataku: and the partition is hda3 [03:14] coreymon77: What filesystem did you use? [03:14] Minataku: That's a given, but I was just answering your question on what coreymon said. [03:14] Minataku: i still need to know what to put in fstab [03:14] HFS+ ? [03:14] UFS? [03:14] Minataku: whatever was the default [03:14] Minataku: because its my moms computer [03:14] I don't know what that is [03:14] Minataku: and she wouldnt do anything out of the ordinary [03:14] We'll try both then [03:15] Minataku: any way to find out, with konsole maybe [03:15] Yes, you can try file -zrks /dev/hda3 [03:15] That SHOULD read the fs and give the report [03:16] If it's HFS+, it should be easy [03:16] If it's UFS, it may be impossible === joseph_ is now known as rattts [03:16] hey people. i have compiz installed. why wont a cube desktop show up? [03:16] First, you can try seeing if the kernel can figure it out [03:17] Just type "sudo mount /dev/hda3 /" [03:17] rattts: 1) you have to activate that plugin, 2) support in #compiz-fustion [03:17] Hmm.. My HD just did a backflip on me.. AGAIN.. weird [03:17] ata2.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 [03:17] If it fails, it'll complain and we'll be a bit stuck [03:17] :)at elast i got some error messages however [03:17] Heh [03:17] rattts: install ccsm [03:18] Too bad they're practically useless [03:18] Minataku: heres what it says [03:18] Anyone figure out how to move widgets? I can only rotate them... [03:18] Dr_willis: check the cables?

[03:19] Dr_Willis: Ah, that's a better error [03:19] And it could very well be on it's way out [03:20] Minataku: Macintosh HFS Extended version 4 [03:20] Oooooh [03:20] Hmm. i hope not - its a fairly new 500gb hd. :) [03:20] i need a good program that will do RSS, podcasts, and video podcasts all together, is there something good like this [03:20] well be back in a little bit. [03:20] like miro + rss feeds [03:20] Now, to see if the kernel supports HFS+ [03:20] Or if you need a userland tool [03:21] Minataku: i dont need anything complicated [03:21] Minataku: i just need a way to get the data from the hd [03:21] Minataku: CONFIG_HFSPLUS_FS=m (from "grep HFS /boot/config-2.6.22-14-generic") [03:21] Okay [03:21] In that case [03:21] stdin: this is a dapper livecd though [03:21] stdin: does it use the same kernel?

[03:24] Because Macs frickin' suck ass in that kind of way === iineg is now known as genii [03:24] Minataku: thats not the point!

[03:25] Minataku: don't be rude [03:25] mneptok: It does if it uses HFS+ [03:25] coreymon77: looking [03:25] Minataku: no, it doesn't [03:25] Which I believe is still an option [03:25] Funny, since the dual forks is what HFS is MADE FOR [03:26] Minataku: HFS and HFS+ both support forks, but only Classic MacOS uses them [03:26] coreymon77: You can try typing the damn command and seeing if it will [03:26] But if you don't actually want any help, then that's fine too [03:26] DaSkreech: no, im trying with k3b [03:26] coreymon77: yeah, same config as the newer kernels [03:26] stdin: thanks [03:26] You can scroll up to find it.

[03:27] * Minataku walks off [03:27] * mneptok laughs [03:28] Minataku: as a warning, behave or don't speak [03:28] I already said I'm done [03:29] and yet there you are. [03:29] My apologies for my behavior, but I'm rather frustrated [03:29] this planet has that effect on people. [03:29] So I'm stepping back [03:29] * genii hands Minataku a soothing coffee [03:30] * Minataku downs it in one gulp [03:30] lol [03:30] Thanks XD [03:30] guhhh: I don't know waht the problem space is [03:30] * mneptok hands Minataku a soothing metadone prescription and a copy of Dom Giampolo's "FS Design With The Be Filesystem" [03:30] +h [03:30] lol [03:31] * Minataku shreds the perscription and just reads the book [03:31] heh I have a book like that [03:31] good read. Dom's at Apple now. [03:31] I'm not a big drug guy [03:31] and probably more frustrated than you ;) [03:31] Only what I'm perscribed by an actual doctor [03:32] lol [03:32] If he's at Apple, he must be [03:32] He lost his GOOD job because of them [03:32] Now he's a slave there instead [03:32] YES! [03:32] coreymon77: It works? [03:32] it's more what he wants to do for Apple vs. what The Steve wants him to do for Apple [03:32] coreymon77: You'd have been saying that 15 minutes ago if you had tried the command when I gave it to you [03:33] Minataku: don't make me shove you out the airlock [03:33] * mneptok *raar*s halfheartedly [03:33] Hey, I have a point, don't I? :P [03:33] Minataku: you sound like my little bro.. [03:33] yes. sadly, at the moment, it's at the top of your head. :P [03:33] * genii examines Minataku's pointiness [03:33] ;) [03:34] Perverts! :) [03:34] * BluesKaj doesn't see the point ...of the discussion [03:34] well backing up stuff off this hd.. befor it dies.. [03:34] BluesKaj, its like a Broken Pencil. [03:34] !offtopic [03:34] #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [03:34] I gave him the command, and he chose to ignore it. The worst that would have happened if he had typed it and there had NOT been HFS+ support would have been an error. [03:35] Sorry, but that is one of my all time buttons, being ignored when I'm helping someone [03:35] You push that one, and I'm over the edge [03:35] Huh? did you say somthing? :P [03:35] give the guy a medal or somebody pat him on the back or something :) [03:36] It's really the utmost in disrespect, as if my help isn't good enough or something [03:37] Minataku: regardless of others behaviour, it's not an excuse to mirror it. just rise above it and relax [03:37] Sorry, but when I'm disrespected, I don't feel much like giving respect back [03:38] then respect the channel if not the user you're helping [03:38] (and the other users in the channel) [03:38] Either way, I'm sorry for getting out of hand [03:38] ok, forgiven :) [03:38] I'm sure you've had times like this :P [03:38] I just don't tend to handle them as well as others. XD [03:39] Minataku: Coffee? [03:39] Don't drink it [03:39] Caffiene has no effect on me anyway [03:39] I compile something when I'm upset, like the kernel or something. when it's done I'm too tired to be angry :p [03:39] !coffee [03:39] coffee is a caffeinated beverage made by filtering water through ground up roasted beans of the coffee plant. Flavouring to taste such as milk or cream, sugar or sweetener are often added afterwards. Not to be confused with !java [03:39] DaSkreech: :) [03:40] Everything I tried to compile today failed and pissed me off. XD [03:40] tm_t added !coffee for me today [03:40] Minataku: that's why the gnu folk added the "rm" command [03:40] XD [03:41] rm -- remove microsoft :-P [03:41] Yeah, but using it in that case is admitting failure :P [03:41] biovore: no, that's mkfs :p [03:41] yes yes [03:41] Minataku: no reason to misbehaviour [03:41] We already established that [03:41] Hey [03:41] there needs to be a "simulate" option for `rm`. Doing something like `rm -rfs /*` when I'm upset with my computer would make me feel better =D [03:41] yup yup [03:41] if you had a blank file system what would you need to add to it to start apt-getting ? [03:42] Sorry, I'm still a tad angry [03:42] DaSkreech: A kernel, for one [03:42] NickPresta: that's what chroots are for :) [03:42] Minataku: Well a live cd could suply that [03:42] Libraries would be nice, too [03:42] XD [03:42] Minataku: people ignore my advice all the time. and with all due respect, mine's worth more than yours. you learn to let people make their own beds. [03:42] yup [03:42] I'll partially ignore your comment, mneptok [03:42] let them crawl back :) [03:43] Minataku: your *Ubuntu advice will be worth as much as mine when we share an office. :) [03:43] Well if it's buntu advice :P [03:44] BeOS and any Apple OS, too. i've worked in those sausage factories, as well. [03:44] I've used BeOS [03:44] I also have fair experiece with A/UX [03:44] it's a great OS. if this is 1994. [03:44] Which I must admit, is the best OS to ever come out of Apple [03:45] They should have stuck with that one [03:45] Haiku!!! [03:45] good evening all and happy thanksgiving to usa irc'ers [03:45] DaSkreech: necrophilia is *really* unattractive ;) [03:45] hello, what are the packages i need to install to give dvd playback [03:45] <.< [03:45] !dvd [03:45] For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs [03:45] jacob: or just install VLC [03:45] I hate jumping into a chat room new and asking for help but this one has been kicking my butt for 3 days [03:46] mneptok: i did install vlc but i can't get past the first menu [03:46] mneptok: like i press play disc, and then dvd (titles) but it plays like a 15 second clip [03:46] anyone out there have a one of these acer aspire 5520 laptops and having problem getting kubuntu to boot [03:47] jacob: menus are usually a different track on the DVD. try skipping to the next track. === usser is now known as stdio === stdio is now known as usser [03:48] mneptok: It was the only really innovative OS for lie .. a long time [03:48] naelrssinssrig: you do realise that's what this channel is for? :) [03:48] Then Jobs went and ruined it [03:48] mneptok: after it plays the 15 sec thing it basically acts like its the end of the playlist [03:48] naelrssinssrig: did you try any cheat codes? [03:49] IDDQD [03:49] j/k [03:49] XD [03:49] DaSkreech: but there were fundamental problems that are not easily remedied [03:49] what channel is this [03:49] kubuntu channel right [03:49] please please stop that offtopic [03:49] naelrssinssrig: kubuntu support .. to fix your problems [03:49] hello all whenever i try to open amarok i get this error "Could not start process Unable to create io-slave: Permission denied." it opens and works, but there is no system tray icon. i do not have kde installed but was told to come here as you may know more about amarok any ideas [03:49] right .. I am having problems [03:49] DaSkreech: (e.g. lack of a decent netstack and half-right POSIX compliance) [03:49] kubuntu won't boot on this laptop [03:49] naelrssinssrig: live cd ? [03:50] no the live cd works just fine.. and installs... [03:50] ah [03:50] when I reboot... I end up in a busybox ash [03:50] what does the install do? [03:50] with no errors? [03:50] Pyrobyte, is that the only error you get? [03:50] i used to gat another error about dcopserver but it doesn't come up anymore [03:50] found on tht ubuntu forums that it is appeantly the acpi that the hard drive controller uses.. and noacpi in grub doens't help the boot [03:50] why kubuntu stinks so much ? [03:51] soviet, that is your opinion. [03:51] soviet: How does it stink? [03:51] the install goes great... no problems [03:51] in a lot of special ways [03:51] wait, i found the system tray icon, its in a window not the tray [03:51] exact same problem heare [03:51] is the update manager [03:51] can't stop stinking [03:52] naelrssinssrig: so It's never booted? [03:52] soviet: are you ranting or asking help? [03:52] DaSkreech: no it always fails.. even in recovery mode ends in busybox [03:52] naelrssinssrig: By any chance was it the server install? No gui with that one [03:53] genii: no it was graphical... [03:53] genii: that wouldn't explain bustbox [03:53] Busybox [03:53] DaSkreech: Yeah, true should just give regular shell [03:53] and the 64 bit won't even boot to the install desktop === stoned is now known as Nyle [03:53] Pyrobyte, you may need to `find ~ -user root -group root` and see if there are any files related to amarok owned by root. If there are, `chown yourusername:yourusername /path/to/file` [03:54] NickPresta: i will give it a go thanks [03:54] I have been using linux for bout 10 years... this is the first problem I have not been able to figure out myself [03:54] kubuntu is one 4 of my 5 comptuers... [03:54] er is on [03:55] I have read that opensuse works on this laptop.. and someone else suggested fedora 8 but I want Kubuntu/Ubuntu... [03:55] NickPresta: only output is "/home/mitchell/.kde/socket-ubuntu /home/mitchell/.rnd" [03:55] I didn't try Ubuntu because both K and U come from teh same package sources.. it wouldn't help do ya think? [03:56] No it wouldn't [03:56] didn't think so [03:56] is there a list of the cheatcodes [03:56] I forget [03:56] I recall there are two powermanagement cheat codes [03:56] noapci and another one === huahua is now known as Lige [03:56] It may be the other one that you need [03:57] noapci always seems to work for me so far [03:57] Pyrobyte, yes, the folder .kde/socket-YOURHOSTNAME is owned by root but the files instead shouldn't be (at least they aren't on my system).

[06:08] slowly yet surely ;) [06:08] java is a mess no matter how you use it [06:08] i switch back to kubuntu.. i found that it is much nicer than ubuntu.. [06:08] Chrisco, well I'm by no means a pro at it, still learning myself, but it is pretty straightforward [06:08] Adept keeps crashing with a SIGABRT error. Help! [06:09] twylight, why do you say that? [06:09] lol [06:09] that's funny, cuz I switched back to ubuntu thinking it was nicer then kubuntu,. [06:09] lol [06:09] why said so? [06:09] rdvon> ??? [06:09] :? [06:10] awag in my experience it's just very messy to deal with [06:10] classes everywhere [06:10] Anybody? [06:10] actuall right now im installing from a live CD of Kubuntu [06:10] I like my default ubuntu :) [06:10] right on JJ [06:10] but you're talking to a 16 year old script kiddie so don't take my word as law [06:10] with compiz fusion, and emerald [06:11] twylight, well yes, but it all fits together nicely in the end, I like how everything is a Class [06:11] anyways, how to install the nvidia graphics driver? [06:11] !drivers [06:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about drivers - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:11] !nvidia [06:11] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:11] i see [06:11] thanks [06:11] rdvon, your using gnome right? [06:11] gnome *hiss* [06:11] awag: yup [06:12] i like KDE [06:12] Can someone please help me fix adept? [06:12] rdvon, when using emerald and compiz, when you maximize a window, does the window title text get all big for a second before resetting to the correct size? [06:12] !adept [06:12] adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto [06:12] awag: yeah, it does. Not all the time though. [06:12] scrubb: how'd you break it? [06:13] Beats me. I installed firefox and opera and then it started crashing. [06:13] rdvon, ah, same here, i thought maybe it was a kde issue or something, that wouldn't really make sense though [06:13] i stopped using emerald because that annoyed me :) [06:13] I never know how I break things in linux. They seem to break themselves. [06:13] lol [06:13] using the normal kde decorator [06:14] brb! [06:14] noooooo [06:14] I'm mad>=[ [06:15] vlc doesn't so 3g2 as a transcoding option! [06:15] awwww... [06:15] twylight, hang on a sec. [06:15] she left already === scrubb is now known as scrubb2000 [06:15] I found an insane website http://media-convert.com/ [06:16] what's with the website? [06:17] what does sudo mean? [06:17] super user do [06:17] really? [06:18] i think so [06:18] yes [06:18] xD [06:18] when to use it? [06:18] I knew the su was super user.. [06:18] But do makes me laugh :D [06:18] you use it when you need to do something that requires root [06:18] i think system user [06:18] but you don't want to have to log in as root [06:18] so it just does that one command that follows sudo as root [06:19] when i compile and make a source file and then install it what is the defualt installation path? i know the link to the executable is in /usr/local/bin but where are the data files? [06:19] a nice feature, unless you're doing a lot of things that need root permissions...then you use 'su' instead [06:19] or you type sudo -i and it makes everything run in root. [06:19] i see [06:19] what is su then? [06:20] su signs you on as root [06:20] try "sudo su" in your terminal [06:20] but only in the current terminal, no? [06:20] sudo -i [06:20] *or [06:20] b d way, what command to type installing flash player? [06:20] well if your working out of a terminal [06:20] else it signs you on as root in that session [06:21] can anyone answer my question? [06:21] Interesting. [06:21] !flash || JJtech [06:21] | JJtech: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [06:21] thanks [06:21] np [06:22] no one knows the answer to my question? [06:22] im at 93% in my Kubuntu installation.. [06:22] rdvon, i think my computer sucks too much to record my desktop while running compiz :) [06:23] omg i'm at 93% on transcoding [06:23] awag: sucks :( [06:23] lol [06:23] you tried istanbul? [06:23] using vlc or anything like that makes any pc lag. [06:23] rdvon, yes, it runs smooth during recording, but when i watch it, it always seems to skip huge periods of time and has a low fps in general [06:23] Could someone please help me figure out why adept keeps crashing? [06:24] becuase its adept [06:24] it sucks [06:24] heh [06:24] use the terminal [06:24] haha, i was gonna say the same thing [06:24] use apt-get instead of adept [06:24] what's the diffirence? [06:24] "sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree" or whatever package [06:24] What if I like GUIs more than terminal commands? [06:24] install synaptic [06:24] one sucks the other doesnt [06:25] scrubb2000: use windoze then [06:25] what does adept tell you when it crashes? anything? [06:25] Are you one of those " [06:25] ack [06:25] lol no [06:25] awag, hold on [06:25] im just frustrated becuase i cant find this directory please excuse my meaness [06:25] it's done installing...completed.. ^_^ i have to restart guys.. BRB [06:26] awag, it says "Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other adept application or apt-get or aptitude) Would you like to attempt to resolve the problem?" [06:26] Clicking yes makes it think for a bit. [06:26] scrubb2000, hang on, i think i might know how to fix this [06:26] scrubb2000, i had this problem a few weeks ago [06:26] scrubb2000: try logging out and logging back [06:26] should fix it [06:27] then the KDE crash handler says adept_installer crashed with SIGABRT [06:27] either that or try "sudo killall adept" [06:27] or sudo rm rf / [06:27] :P [06:27] :) [06:27] I think the wine abbreviation should be changed to WINdowsEmulator [06:27] that'll make all your problems go away [06:27] twylight: can you help me pleasE? [06:27] its not an emulator [06:28] its a subsystem [06:28] well... the other abbreviation is stupid :P [06:28] what's your issue surgy? [06:28] lemme try the logout thing. brb [06:29] "MS Windows Subsystem" or similar is appropriate [06:29] or flaccid? i know one of you guys knows the answer: i just compiled an emulator and it needs plugins and a bios image both of which i have i just cant find the data directory where the emulator was installed after "make install" was ran during compilation, can you point me in the right direction? [06:29] right direction of what [06:29] probably in somewhere under / [06:29] i dont even know what you are doing [06:29] where the data directory is [06:29] scrubb2000, working? [06:29] Nope. Same thing. [06:29] read the make file [06:30] scrubb2000, try this sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock [06:30] or the README or INSTALL file should advise [06:30] scrubb2000, if that doesn't fix it, do this sudo dpkg --configure -a [06:30] flaccid: ok it has the executable and a plugins directory and a bios directory, etc etc, and i looked in /usr/local/bin and all that is there is the executable non of the sub directories [06:30] rm /var/... didn't work... [06:31] surgy, when i install something from source, it somethings ends up in my home dir, but i'm a nub, so i don't really pay attention, but sometimes it's in a hidden folder in my home [06:31] surgy: iirc the make file will show all the install paths [06:31] there was no readme and i had to, sh build.sh all, in order to make a configure script to make a "make" file........ been at it for hours [06:31] scrubb2000, did you try this sudo dpkg --configure -a ? [06:31] awag, yeah. It's given me some options. [06:32] surgy: there is no actual standard way to package source trees for compilation, so its really up to the vendor's doco.. [06:32] scrubb2000, what kind of options? [06:32] flaccid: :( that sucks [06:32] install package maintainer's version, keep my version, show differences, background the process to examine the situation [06:32] is there a search feature where i can search for every file with a certain keyword? [06:32] surgy: its actually good. check the Makefile [06:32] scrubb2000, what is the default? keep your version? [06:32] yeah [06:32] scrubb2000, just do that for everything [06:32] surgy: grep "keyword" /file/location [06:32] k === DrUnKnMuNkY1 is now known as drunknmunky [06:33] awag, that did the trick. [06:33] scrubb2000, adept is working? [06:33] yup [06:33] cool [06:33] I noticed it set up opera while it was at it... [06:33] flaccid: [06:33] surgy@derek:~/pcsx2/pcsx2$ iirc Makefile.am [06:33] bash: iirc: command not found [06:34] Must have been opera that buggered it the first time. [06:34] Weird. [06:34] scrubb2000, yeah, did it crash the first time like in the middle of an install of something? [06:34] awag,indeed it did. [06:34] scrubb2000, when that happens i think you have to fix the install by doing sudo dpkg --configure -a [06:34] im back [06:34] awag, what's that doing, exactly? [06:34] !iirc [06:34] IIRC means "if I remember correctly" [06:34] ha! officially kubuntu user [06:34] I'm still new to the inner workings of linux [06:35] scrubb2000, i'm not entirely sure, i think it goes through and looks at packages that aren't configured or installed correctly and fixes them [06:35] scrubb2000, me too, hehe [06:35] running compiz-fusion on kubuntu should be quite easy in most cases, right? I have it working in Gnome, but not when I switch to KDE [06:35] and compiz-kde is installed [06:35] how to get compiz-fusion ??? [06:37] jhoc2x2: on Ubuntu it should be installed by default, on Kubuntu I don't know [06:37] !desktop-effects [06:37] Sorry, I don't know anything about desktop-effects - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:37] !compiz [06:37] Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion [06:37] scrubb2000, you should also check out synaptic, just search for it in adept, it is the default package manager in normal ubuntu [06:37] scrubb2000, alot of people seem to like it better [06:38] k. Is it less prone to weirdness? [06:39] scrubb2000, yeah, in fact i just opened it up to check it out for the hell of it, and searched for a program that adept didn't find for me, and synaptic found it [06:40] still need laptop help... anyone out there have kubuntu installed on an aspire 5520 [06:40] ok. [06:42] awag, how can I set one or the other to be the default package manager? [06:42] i just dont know where to look for help on this thing [06:42] 4 hours now [06:43] what kinda help you need surgy [06:43] made some long strides but now im stuck on something that should be easy [06:43] surgy, that describes almost all of my experiences with linux so far. =P [06:43] hahaha [06:44] scrubb2000: what do you mean default packagte manager [06:44] sorry package [06:44] scrubb2000, well, i'm not sure you need to set either one to default, i just put the one i like in my quicklaunch bar [06:44] and click on it, and use it [06:44] Naelr2: i just compiled pcsx2 and got it running now it needs bios and plugins i have the bios and the plugins i just need to know where the directory of pcsx2 is i used "sh build.sh" and "./configur" and "make installe" to build and install the program, there is no readme or any decent documentation on what i need help with [06:45] It may not be a non-issue now... [06:45] when i said it is the default package manager in normal ubuntu i just meant it comes installed with synaptic from the start [06:45] Opera wanted to install flash, and seemed to run adept, which then crashed. [06:45] oh [06:45] hmmm [06:45] But flash seems to be working now. Maybe Opera just wasn't configured right. [06:45] scrubb2000: you need to get confortable with terminal commands and then trash a few installs [06:45] lol [06:45] Already done that. [06:46] hehe [06:46] yeah apt-get is more fun anyway [06:46] I'm not afraid to use command lines, I just don't like doing it ALL the time, ya know? [06:46] then you should be installing from the command line its faste more stable and easier to use and troubleshoot [06:46] surgy: oh wow.. I never played with emulators ... have you googled it yet? [06:46] and probably takes 10x longer. [06:46] * Naelr2 loves the command line [06:46] do u have any idea why they did not use GUI installs? [06:46] Naelr2: for 40 mins now ive been working on it for hours [06:47] scrubb2000: you can do anything on the command line 10x faster than with a gui [06:47] surgy: doh... sorry man.. I have been using linux for 10 years and never played with emulators like those... [06:47] how so? [06:48] I am looking for help with a new laptop I just bought ... damn thing installs but will not boot [06:48] surgy, if you know the commands to use... [06:48] Naelr2: well i just need to know where the file hierarchy for the installed application is so i can find out where the compiled plugins went [06:48] Takes bloody forever if you don't. [06:48] scrubb2000: nah [06:48] try tweaking BIOS setting [06:48] scrubb2000: just use ! before a word here in irc, and ubotu will help like "!ati" she will teach you how to install ati [06:49] surgy: do (from the command line) sudo updatedb [06:49] surgy, is there a way to search for packages with apt-get ? [06:49] Naelr2: what does that do? [06:49] awag: it is called synaptic [06:49] Not everyone wants to spend hours reading man pages or forums. I usually just want to boot up and go. [06:49] awag: yeah "sudo apt-cache search packagename" [06:49] !nividia [06:49] Sorry, I don't know anything about nividia - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:49] surgy: there is a database of all files on the system... updatedb updates taht database [06:49] when you use configure you might as well use ./configure --prefix=/usr [06:49] then you do a locate filename and it will tell you where it is [06:50] Naelr2, do you mean i should just use synaptic? [06:50] updateing db now [06:50] awag: synaptic has a search feature [06:50] !nv [06:50] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [06:50] it's probably been installed to /usr/local/bin [06:50] that's not in the path by default [06:50] wilson: yeah i see the link to the executable there but not the datafiles [06:51] Naelr2, yeah i know, i was just wondering if i could do it from the command line [06:51] surgy: also alot of programs will have hiden directories in your home directory that you keep all your addons too it ... [06:51] i dunno, datafiles maybe in /usr/local/share or something [06:51] guys, adept batch is running in my pc, but i need to restart, shud i wait adept to finish?? [06:51] awag: try what i told you, sudo apt-cache search packagename from the command line [06:51] awag: I have never used one if it exists [06:51] surgy, oh yeah thanks i got that [06:52] Naelr2: i looked in hidden files in all the obvious directories, and my db is updated now what? [06:52] Naelr2, i was simply bringing it up because people were talking about how they could do everything faster from the cmd line [06:52] awag: thats how you search for packages from the command line [06:52] awag: what is the command to start the program [06:52] compiz-fusion is working for me in kubuntu now, but I only see one desktop in the desktop switcher in my panel. anyone? [06:52] and i was thinking that searching for a package is easier through synaptic and the like [06:52] awag: I agree [06:53] easier if your migrating from windows in my opinion but after you start getting into linux cmd will be better [06:53] surgy: after you update your database use command locate to find files [06:53] surgy, that command works nicely [06:54] now the only thing on my system that remains a problem is strigi [06:54] Ayabara: use the desktop settings manager [06:55] strigi? [06:55] the search program from feisty worked great for me, but strigi never seems to find anything lol, and yes i have my home folder and some other folders indexed [06:55] Naelr2: thanks, but that wasn't it. removing and readding the applet did the trick.. [06:55] use "locate filename" [06:55] which im having no luck with [06:55] surgy: you can use strigi as well I guess. I keep forgetting about that I use command line locate [06:56] yeah im not finding it with locate [06:56] finally a channel with real live people! hey i need someone to go to ubuntu and give the site moderator this link http://madderhatters.blogspot.com/? [06:56] seams what im looking for doesnt exsist or im doing something wrong [06:56] have you run the emulator yet [06:56] yes [06:56] hmmm what is the name of it and where did you get it [06:57] surgy: I will try to install it [06:57] it needs to be configured and asks for the bios file directory and the plugins directory, bios is no problem but the plugins were compiled with the emulator and are with its data files so i cant find them [06:57] pcsx2 [06:57] surgy, another useful command you've made me aware of tonight [06:57] www.pcsx2.net [06:57] hehe [06:57] awag: whats that? [06:57] surgy, locate :) [06:58] would somebody join into ubuntu and give the moderator this link as i cannot get on the channel please http://madderhatters.blogspot.com/? [06:59] what's the point A2t3can0v3r10rd [06:59] awag: well while Naelr2 is trying to install pcsx2 ill teach you more [06:59] awag: what else do you need to do from cmd? [06:59] can a newbie ask a question [06:59] i would like to call the moderator's attention to what is written about them [06:59] !ask | neilesh [06:59] neilesh: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) === neilesh is now known as fortytwo [06:59] I posted it [07:00] surgy, well, right now i don't really have anything that comes to mind :) [07:00] A2t3can0v3r10rd: I posted it === fortytwo is now known as neilesh [07:00] "without going into specifics" [07:00] i am having probs with adept.. it refuses to dl the updates..but mah net works just fine [07:00] thank you very much naelr2 [07:00] not sure if he reads it but I sent it [07:01] i had some bogus moderator cut me for life for nothing [07:01] man, some of the window animations in compiz are so cool, i just kinda sit there playing with them sometimes [07:01] who is the moderator do you know [07:01] or who is the moderator y9ou want to read this [07:01] im not sure it was so long ago [07:01] awag> will you teach me to configure compiz? [07:01] ok I posted it to the irc for ya [07:02] awag: you getting your pms? [07:02] surgy: exactly waht did you download [07:02] I see .exe [07:02] you might want to mention it's A2t3can0v3r10rd asking, or he won't even know who he's supposed to unban [07:02] the source package [07:02] i only ever used irc for ubuntu support i hate chatting half the chat is peverted [07:02] I see .exe's on that page [07:02] ok [07:02] !offtoipic ] [07:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about offtoipic ] - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:03] how do i change locales in kubuntu ? in ubuntu there is some Language tool gui [07:03] what do i do in kubuntu ? [07:03] ubotu: locale [07:03] To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf [07:03] !kubuntu | rohan [07:03] rohan: Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment, instead of Gnome. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support: #kubuntu - See also !KDE [07:03] surgy: err.. so ? [07:03] what was the reason of giving me that factoid, surgy ? [07:04] rohan: check out http://kubuntu.org [07:04] yea i dont really care at this point im just disappointed that people act the way they do on ubuntu it's pretty uptight sometimes [07:04] !KDE [07:04] KDE (http://kde.org) is the !desktop environment used natively in !Kubuntu.

[07:04] surgy: are you actually trying to help or just playing the fool ? [07:05] god forbid you go off topic or throw down more then 4 lines of text [07:05] Hmm...how do I make compiz focus and bring windows to the top when I click anywhere on them? [07:06] scrubb2000, as opposed to focus following the mouse? [07:06] yeah [07:06] i actually wrote a complaint to shuttleworth's secretary! lol [07:06] scrubb2000: it's in the general options but for some reason it always unticked itself automatically for me so i stopped using compiz [07:06] Naelr2: any luck? [07:06] Pardon my M$ accent, but I'd like it to emulate the way windows brings focus. [07:07] Is it the "raise on click" option? [07:07] scrubb2000, ie, you click and it brings it to the top, yes i agree that is what i like, it is in the general options [07:07] yes [07:07] surgy: wow... it has been a long time since I compiled from source.. and I have been drinking .. refresh my memory please ... it is unziped... dont' I gotta automake something [07:07] why does it automatically untick? [07:07] scrubb2000: you said you like gui right? check out systems settings in your kmenu and toy around there [07:07] scrubb2000: that sounds like it [07:07] thanks people! [07:07] adios [07:07] Naelr2: thats like a 15 page post on the forums on how to compile that [07:07] scrubb2000, oh wait, there is also a "click to focus" one that needs to be checkted too [07:07] i am having probs with adept.. it refuses to dl the updates..but mah net works just fine..no firefox :( [07:08] surgy: u have the link? [07:08] got it clicked already... [07:08] scrubb2000, both of those are clicked? [07:08] Naelr2: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=399165&highlight=pcsx2 have fun [07:09] GTG... bye all [07:09] well, they would be if the raise on click didn't keep unchecking itself. [07:09] scrubb2000, go to system settings and make sure under window behaviour that too is set to click to focus [07:09] scrubb2000: i had the exact same problem heh [07:10] awag, it is. [07:10] hmmmm [07:10] scrubb2000, not sure what is wrong then.. [07:10] weird [07:10] wilson, did you fix it? [07:11] surgy: did you get svn code or just what wason the website? [07:11] the 9.4 source is what i used other than that it was all the same as on that link, although that just sets you up for the ./configure make bs [07:14] scrubb2000: i'm trying again now [07:14] surgy: I got an error on the build [07:14] there's some things mentioned here http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-503145.html but i'm not holding my breath [07:16] Naelr2: what error?

[07:20] I never used an emulator [07:20] hmm that seemed to fix it for me scrubb2000 [07:21] i went to system settings > window behaviour [07:21] unticked 'click raise active window' [07:21] apply > then ticked it again and it works as you'd expect [07:21] PCSX2? I know PS1 emulation works ok but PS2? I'm not so sure about [07:22] I do have the emulator I just don't have any games to try it on lol [07:22] I think PS2 is meant to be backwards compatible anyway... [07:22] wilson, yeah, same here. [07:22] Must be a session thing. [07:22] woo yeh ! we done it haha [07:23] These rubbery windows are too cool. I'm probably going to set compiz to autorun. [07:23] ForgeAus: hey man long time no see [07:23] might have to do it everytime though [07:23] hey surgy :) yeah I havn't been around here much lately [07:23] ive been trying to get pcxs2 working for over 5 hours now [07:23] been busy elswhere [07:23] hahah gosh I came in looking for help with my problem... how did I get distracted [07:23] I take it you compiled it [07:23] Since can't play any HL2-based games on this, I need something to give my video card a workout while I"m using Linux. =) [07:24] Now, what is the "super" button?? [07:24] the windows key [07:24] ah ha [07:24] they can't call it the windows key in linux now can they [07:24] of course they can... [07:24] linux can still have windows [07:24] i really really like the negativity + transparency combo , i can take like this irc window, negatize it and make it a little transparent, pretty cool [07:24] ForgeAus: yes sir but now i cant get the pluggins installed or the bios installed, i have both, i think but i cant find out where to put them and when i tell the emulator where they are it says it cant read from that dir [07:24] its a general term... [07:25] surgy, sounds odd [07:25] what command to get flash?? [07:25] Naelr2: i cant find that dep now [07:25] !flash [07:25] To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [07:25] ForgeAus: yeah i know [07:25] maybe the bios you have is not the one its looking for?

[07:26] I dind't know there were THAT many of them [07:26] I thought there were only about 6 different ones... [07:26] oh yeah rangeing from sph1000 all the way to scph44000 [07:26] mostly SCPH#####.rom [07:27] ForgeAus: you havnt tried pcsx2 yet? [07:27] I've installed it but not tried running it [07:27] try it real fast [07:27] if you dont mind [07:27] havn't got a ps2 iso or CD to try it with yet.. [07:28] run the bios? [07:28] hmm I'm in XP right now.. brb... I wonder if its the same [07:28] :) [07:28] (there is PCSX2 for Windows as well) [07:28] yeah id rather bury myself alive [07:28] http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r19478366-The-Ubuntu-keyboard [07:28] they really need to do something about adept [07:29] ahh give me a list of your directories [07:29] or at least the subones of /pcsx2 [07:29] umm [07:29] comand? [07:29] in the bios dir I have 5 files [07:29] scph39004.bin [07:29] scph50003.bin [07:30] pcsx2/bin/branches/pcsx2/plugins [07:30] sony playstation 2 bios (e)(v1.6)(200-10-04)[scph30004].bin [07:30] so look slike they're all .bin not .rom files [07:31] i have three different versions of that bios [07:31] v4 v5 and version 6 [07:31] i tell pcsx2 too look in that dir for that bios and it doesnt show up in the drop down bios area [07:32] wait... the .bin bios files should reside /bin/branches/pcsx2/bios [07:33] in windows all the plugins are in /pcsx2/plugins but they're all .dll's in *nix I don't know if it works the same way [07:33] thats probably where the files are but if they're .dll's??? [07:33] yeah it sounds like my file structure is a lot different [07:34] when you run it it should give you a configuration dialog where you choose the plugins [07:34] they should come with the emulator... [07:34] if not pcsx ones should work... [07:35] they did [07:35] but they either didnt build with the rest of the emu or the were built and now i cant find them [07:36] do you have pcsx? or (I think epsxe and fpse are same basic emulator - just not sure which ones had *nix equivs) [07:36] i have epsxe pSX and pcsx2 [07:37] how do you remove widgets from your desktop in kde4 ? [07:37] ok from epsxe, I think the plugins are probably the same ones as you can use in pcsx2 [07:38] dunno much about pSX havn't heard of that emulator... [07:38] awe man this is making me crazy... can anyone help me make this laptop boot [07:38] it doesnt take plugins its totally emulated with software drivers no hardware acceleration [07:39] epsxe I'm sure has plugins [07:39] night all [07:39] yeah [07:39] just tried [07:39] they dont show up on the drop down lists for pcxs2 [07:39] dev 9, usb and firewire could be a problem tho [07:39] does kubuntu gutsy use utf-8 for filesystem encoding by default?

[08:15] I get that problem when I run games in it, but it's a problem with my motherboard [08:15] it's not just games [08:15] it's even when i do 'configure wine' [08:15] and it worked great in feisty, so i don't think it's my motherboard [08:16] Try purging it, and then freshly installing it, or compiling it from source? [08:16] how do i purge it? [08:16] uninstall it? [08:17] Open Adept [08:18] Right click Wine, request purging [08:18] Then apply changes [08:20] thanks [08:20] just curious, how do you purge via the command line [08:21] could i do 'sudo apt-get purge wine'? [08:21] I'm not entirely sure, to be honest, I'm a noob =) [08:21] Check apt help though?

[08:27] maybe they want to reinstall it after? who knows. apt works fine (I do use aptitude tho) [08:28] stdin: Erm, I meant autoremove *blush* [08:28] well, that wasn't it [08:28] timri: I know you did ;) [08:28] :P [08:31] SatManUK: If you're referring to the levels I mentioned yesterday: According to the site you can just copy them.

[09:04] at this moment im using Live CD 32bit, and installing.. hoping not get caught with the previous problem again.. [09:04] if i had 64bit hardware i would be running kubuntu 64bit [09:06] im running 64bit earlier, but got the problem of installing flash, and compriz..(i think bcoz im just a newbie) [09:06] what would you most prefer??? ubuntu or Kubuntu??? [09:06] i guess compiz will be a problem again with 32bit but flash can work through the nspluginwrapper [09:06] JJtech: i have a suspicion those in #kubuntu may lean toward kubuntu [09:07] :) [09:07] i guess so [09:07] so i prefer kde and thus kubuntu [09:08] is there a way to fire up gnome under kubuntu to check it out, wo installing another partition? [09:08] well, me too.. i use the live CD ubuntu before, but it's not like kubuntu..(i think).. [09:09] ah, live ubuntu would be a good idea ;-) [09:09] hello ppl [09:09] JackWinter: you can just install ubuntu-desktop and login to gnome [09:09] JackWinter: you could also install the package ubuntu-desktop ... ^^ [09:10] hey, cool. is it dificult to remove if i don't like it? [09:10] guys, can som1 send me a list of commands regarding kubuntu?? jhoc2x2@hotmail.com [09:10] if you use aptitude to install it, then no [09:10] JackWinter: install it through aptitude then remove it through aptitude. just a package to install then remove [09:11] !shell | JJtech [09:11] JJtech: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful.

[09:11] JJtech: this channel is logged and crawled by google, not a good idea to post you email address [09:11] sorry [09:11] JackWinter: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop will install all that is needed for the 'ubuntu' gnome; sudo aptitude purge ubuntu-desktop would get rid of that package and the installed dependencies (which are no longer required) [09:11] i have a problem with the default installation - screen flickers even in safe vga mode with resolution set (resolution disregarded and set to a resolution that monitor or gpu does not support) [09:11] JackWinter: aptitude takes care of that for you, that's why we suggest it [09:12] so, if anyone could tell me the parameters to give at boot time so i dont have to download the alternative cd [09:12] or just remove in place of purge* JackWinter [09:12] k i`ll wait :) [09:13] anyone? :( [09:13] why do i get this error while compiling a plugin?

[09:13] !aptitude | JackWinter [09:13] JackWinter: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [09:13] JackWinter: yes [09:14] Heya everyone! [09:14] Thanks [09:14] I was hoping to find out whether or not this distro has a package manager which takes care of all your dependencies. [09:15] meta_: yep, it's debian bases so we use apt [09:15] ok let me make this shorter. is there a way to run a debian-installer from the DESKTOPcd? [09:15] Thanks. I think I have a basic idea. [09:15] (i`m talking about booting from the cd) [09:15] milos: no, the debian installer isn't even on the live cd [09:15] It would be apt-get ndiswrapper? [09:15] meta_: close "apt-get install ndiswrapper" [09:16] meta_: kubuntu installs Adept as it's default GUI package manager, so you don't need to know apt at all [09:16] (unless you want to know it, that is) [09:16] stdin, is there a way to set the resolution to something safer? when i press F4, choose 800x600, and do the installation in the "safe vga mode" - the installer seems to disregard that, and set the resolution to 1920xsomething , and the screen flicers etc... [09:17] Well, Adept isn't showing any packages other than those installed. [09:17] *flickers [09:17] surgy: Could be an old simd bug in gcc, or it can't find gcc. Try export CXX=`which g++` [09:17] My amarok always freezes my system any ideas? [09:17] I'm gonna reboot for a sec. That command you gave me was yapping about some process using something and rebooting will probably close that process sooo brb. [09:17] meta_: that's probably because you have the repositories disabled, go to Adept>Manage Repositories and check the boxes [09:17] wtf..english pls [09:17] Okay. Thanks. [09:17] timri your way over my head [09:17] surgy: and export CC=`which gcc` [09:18] btw desktop computer, geforceFX5600, nforce2 mobo [09:18] milos: afaik that should work, don't know why not [09:18] Sorry I'm a Kubuntu noob.

[09:20] meta_: that's ok, was just going to recommend the restricted drivers manager if you were [09:20] Well, Adept isn't showing anything about repositories. [09:20] i got it: #linux-rt ;-) [09:20] When I click Adept, there's only one option. It's quit. [09:20] meta_: should be the 2nd option down [09:20] lol [09:21] stdin: There is no second option...

[09:30] meta_: when you install with no internet connection the internet sources are disabled, that's why it was only showing packages you had installed [09:30] That's just weird. Well, thanks!

I'm fairly certain I can take it from here. I've already extracted the driver using cabextract and all I needed was ndiswrapper. [09:33] meta_: well ndiswrapper should be a last resort, usually gives poor performance [09:33] if it's broadcom there are native drivers [09:33] stdin: It is broadcom. [09:33] !broadcom [09:33] Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Broadcom43xx [09:33] the native version should be quite simple to do [09:34] Hello. My umask is set to 0022 so when I create a file or dir its perissions are 0644 resp. 0755. When I save an attachment from kmail its perms are 0400. How can I correct this behaviour?

[09:37] not much, you could install the nvidia graphics driver but that's it. [09:37] linux optimises the rest for you [09:38] JJtech: #kubuntu-devel is not a support channel [09:40] stdin, how many people do you help daily? [09:40] no clue, I don't keep count [09:40] it is commendable [09:41] it's our call, you can say [09:41] :) [09:41] calling even [09:41] got to go.. have to restart.....again.. [09:42] is your work IT related, or do you do this just for a hobby? (sorry for the personal question) === gh0st is now known as si0ux [09:43] milos: you can consider me as retired hobbyist [09:43] hahaha great :) [09:43] it's more a lifestyle than a hobby [09:43] stdin: that yes [09:44] [09:44] not many people in the world that would help just because they can... [09:44] I do that in every aspect I can [09:44] well, that's the open-source philosophy [09:44] IT-related or not [09:45] i`m forcing myself to do similar work that you guys do [09:45] and i will [09:45] as soon as i get my army/work sorted out [09:45] anyway, this is slipping to offtopic :-P [09:45] sry [09:46] no need to be sorry [09:46] milos: feel free to join #kubuntu-offtopic [09:46] haha cool [09:47] I always thought openStep should have been opensourced by now :) [09:47] lol [09:49] how do you extract a rea only tgz.gz archive? [09:49] read* [09:49] a read only tarball? [09:49] Gotta go! See ya! Thanks again. [09:49] should be smae way as a normal one, you don't need to write to it to extract it [09:50] although generally its .tar.gz [09:50] I've never really heard of read only archive files [09:51] ark says its not in gzip format and the operation failed [09:51] Hello. My umask is set to 0022 so when I create a file or dir its perissions are 0644 resp. 0755. When I save an attachment from kmail its perms are 0400. How can I correct this behaviour? [09:51] only thing holding me back from my emu [09:51] either its corrupted or a different format that ark isn't recognising [09:51] (do you have midnight commander? you might want to see if it opens it) [09:51] says gzipped archive with extension .tgz [09:52] yeah you'd expect that, but maybe its named wrong? [09:52] try making it .tar.gz instead? [09:52] .tgz ive mostly only seen used in slackware packages [09:53] !tgz [09:53] Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with ark - also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression [09:53] .. sofar [09:53] yes I'm aware that its an archive [09:53] well my gpu is in it [09:53] and i need it [09:53] okok I understand that [09:53] like I said try renaming it to .tar.gz and see if its any different [09:54] i did didnt help [09:54] ok... well then I'm not sure I know how to help... it sound sstrange that they're gzipping something thats already gzipped [09:55] (ie I'm not 100% certain but I think .tgz = .tar.gz'd already.. so .tgz.gz is a bit strange) [09:55] .tar.gz is much more common [09:55] hi i have a problem with kommander , save a wigettree setttings [09:55] and restore the settings [09:57] so i need it extracted, either that or i need gssoft.so [09:57] um do a file command on it [09:57] ForgeAus, do a 'file' command on that file to make sure what the extension says it is is, in fact, what it is. [09:58] and how do i do that? [09:58] file from tthe prompt I gather [09:58] surgy? === jhoc2x2 is now known as JJtech [09:59] he's h ere [09:59] yeah [09:59] You have a .tgz.gz or somesuch? [09:59] yeah [09:59] and ive been at this progect for over 9 hours :( [09:59] lol [09:59] almost sounds like a slackware package thats been re .gz'd [09:59] Do a 'file whateverfile.tgz.gz' and observe what the command returns. That file may have been renamed. [10:00] GSsoft-0.61.tgz.gz: gzip compressed data, from Unix, last modified: Tue Nov 25 07:20:35 2003 [10:01] Mmkay, gunzip it. [10:01] A new file will appear in that directory. do a 'file' on it, as well. [10:01] what's the command to get compiz fusion? [10:01] nope [10:01] * ForgeAus nods sounds wise [10:01] no new file [10:02] Did it hurl an error? [10:02] nope [10:02] surgy@derek:~/Desktop$ gunzip -f GSsoft-0.61.tgz.gz [10:02] um... can't remember JJtech, something like apt-get compiz-fusion [10:02] Moment. [10:02] just curious whats the -f flag? [10:02] actually i gotta hit the sack [10:03] force unzip [10:03] IC [10:03] ok... i will try [10:03] ima pick this up tommorow [10:03] email me surgy_377@yahoo.com if you get the chance please [10:03] thnx for all the help especially you ForgeAus [10:03] no problem surgy [10:03] like I said, good luck :) [10:04] or just pm me with any info you guys got [10:04] I really don't know why they made it so difficult [10:04] i got invalid command [10:05] lol JJtech I'm not suprised [10:05] and why? [10:05] what shud i do? [10:05] you can get it from adept if you run adept-manager [10:05] find the compiz package in the list then install that one [10:06] (as long as your using #Kubuntu) [10:06] erm kubuntu [10:06] kk... i will see to it [10:06] (if you ar using a different distro you may have to use synaptic or whatever it has instead) [10:07] btw sauvin thanx for helping surgy :) [10:07] I tried. [10:07] http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0833030477 [10:07] yeah well I'm not so certain its even doable... [10:08] Forge, can't understand what distro mean... im a kubuntu nood.. [10:08] for all I know it could be a corrupt file or something [10:08] noob [10:08] ok there are many different forms of the "linux" operating system [10:08] !distro [10:08] Sorry, I don't know anything about distro - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [10:08] (actually its a linux kernel with alot of gnu programs) [10:08] ??? [10:09] ForgeAus: and KDE or GNOME [10:09] or both [10:09] or [10:09] they all have different names like Mepis, Arklinux, Kubntu, Debian, etc etc.. [10:09] ok.. and??? [10:09] well they come with different systems and different software [10:10] its most common that they have one of Gnome and/or KDE as a display manager for X-windows... [10:10] but they often vary between different package management systems [10:10] ie, redhat and Mandriva use .rpm files [10:10] Debian based ones use .deb's [10:10] slackware uses .tgz [10:11] Gentoo uses a system called portage or ebuild.. [10:11] so what is this im using??? [10:11] your using Kubuntu which is based on debian, hence .deb packages [10:11] it said here in the CD, KUBUNTU [10:11] ahhh.. i see [10:11] and what shud i do in order to gain it's optimal performance? [10:12] note Ubuntu is an alternate Kubuntu in fact kubuntu is based almsot directly on it, only with KDE packages instead of Gnome ones... [10:12] hi all [10:12] learn how to tweak your system [10:12] my PC specs " AMD64 athlon FX dual core 4000+, 1.5gb RAM [10:13] I have a p4 3gig processor... (socket 768) [10:13] my PC specs " AMD64 athlon FX dual core 4000+, 1.5gb RAM, 200+Hard drive, Geforce 8400GS [10:13] and only 1 gig of ram [10:13] 2x 160 gig hdd's tho [10:13] and an ATI video card [10:13] (AGP8x) [10:13] hmmm... does anybody know if there is a way to use sed to substitute parts of a file with an output of a command, BUT giving this command one of the matches (e.g. \1) as a command-line argument? [10:14] um not sure what you mean rykiek but sounds like you should be able to pipe it???? [10:14] ie output of command a | input of command b [10:15] much like you do with something like: cat < filename | less [10:15] ForgeAus: aye: some_command | sed "s/myreg(exp)/$( my_command )/" [10:15] ForgeAus: thing is: I want to do something like: some_command | sed "s/myreg(exp)/$( my_command \1 )/" [10:16] where \1 is "the first regexp match of sed" (in this case - "exp" [10:16] ) [10:16] wow you guys!! u do have a great knowledge of commands... [10:16] I'm not familiar with the sed command nor the format of regexp [10:16] rysiek> i don't know what you mean with that s/myreg thing [10:17] regexp is insane, don't expect to understand it :p [10:17] lol [10:17] regular expression right? [10:17] yep [10:17] just describes the syntax of things somehow? [10:17] anyone here using the iwl4965 wireless driver? I'm having some bizarre performance issues here.. just want to check if it's the driver or something else [10:18] ie to match stuff like number number number exclaimation number number ??? [10:18] ForgeAus: something like that ;) [10:18] well at that general level I understand it, as for the symbology it uses is another matter entirely [10:19] $(echo "Hello" | sed 's/[a-z]//') outputs "H" [10:19] lol [10:19] and that's probably the simplest example I can think of [10:20] hola [10:21] how can i play .DAT on Kaffeine [10:21] onishidato: rename it to .mpg :) [10:21] ảe you sủe? [10:21] .dat is usually mpeg1 from VCDs [10:22] are you sure [10:22] rename and we can play? [10:22] try it and see [10:22] really would not need to rename it either but doing so should not hurt [10:22] try "file yourfile.dat" to see what it is [10:25] "file yourfile.dat"? [10:25] can you explain? [10:26] "file" is a command, and "yourfile.dat" is the .dat file you have [10:26] so if your file is ~/Desktop/MyVid.DAT you'd run "file ~/Desktop/MyVid.dat" [10:27] thanks [10:30] there is a problem [10:31] whn i use Linux === redoo_ is now known as redoo [10:31] i can't manually onpen my DVD disc tray [10:31] how can i fix it?

[13:18] loguser1: besides the drawback of using windows software and the buggyness of wine, nope [13:19] also that you make the transition more difficult for yourself [13:19] and then get to brag to people "yeah i use kubuntu to run my windows programs through wine" to which the reply is "ah ha, so linux does not have applications!"

[14:36] w it works, sorry [14:37] they're sat on a debian box, i would just search to the file and click on it to view... normally [14:37] i used sudo and thats why it do not work, so strange this message errors, it said permision denied and the file was in fact not executable, thx foe all, grath comunity [14:39] kaffeine gives eror... xine: cannot find input plugin for MRL [14:44] Bauldrick: so what changed?

Weird [14:52] konrad: ok and about flash? sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree [14:54] WaltzingAlong: "Nothing to install, upgrade or remove". sudo aptitude install kpat installs as expected though. [14:54] that is VERY strange [14:54] there is no fglrx.ko in /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/misc and volatile [14:54] konrad: and results of aptitude show flashplugin-nonfree ? [14:55] this is probably the killer of my opengl :( [14:55] cs__: how did you install your driver? [14:55] WaltzingAlong: sudo aptitude install j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin seems to be getting me somewhere [14:55] http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Gutsy_Installation_Guide manual method [14:56] konrad: using kubuntu 7.10 (gutsy gibbon) ? [14:56] i'm down to the 'Check that fglrx.ko has been created' step [14:56] WaltzingAlong: yes [14:57] konrad: and what were the results of aptitude show flashplugin-nonfree in konsole? [14:58] WaltzingAlong: And as for show flashplugin it says installed. I can send it to the pastebin if you can cope with the Swedish :) [14:59] WaltzingAlong: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45557/ [14:59] konrad: aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree said nothing installed, removed, or so on because the requested package was already installed. if the requested package had not existed (in available repositories) there would have been the same message plus a line about package not being found. hence asking for aptitude show package [15:00] konrad: ok thanks. so far so good it seems [15:00] WaltzingAlong: So basicly I might just be getting random error messages from Adept but the programs still gets installed? [15:01] Flash is working now [15:01] konrad: ah no. just that it would have told you nothing was installed or removed, just running the show made it clear that the package was available (and in your case installed as well) === hbl04028 is now known as hectorber [15:02] cs_: are you instaling the 8.42 ot 7.11 drivers? [15:03] konrad: with aptitude install nonfree-flashplugin for example, aptitude show give the summary: 0 upgraded, 0 new installed, 0 to remove, and 0 not upgraded but it also would have a line about not finding the package. (perhaps that one line gets hidden among the rest, is what i meant) [15:04] hi [15:04] i have an crypted home part can this cause trouble wehn i upgrade to gusty? [15:05] manuel_: not if you just upgeade and don't do a fresh install [15:05] WaltzingAlong: Yes but in the case of KMyMoney it was not installed on my computer. I then try to install with adept, which results in an error saying installation failed. I then run aptitude which says nothing to do because program already installed. [15:06] ok thx [15:06] konrad: well the package name is kmymoney2 .try in adept again now [15:07] WaltzingAlong: Adept shows it as installed now after running aptituse [15:07] konrad: ok perhaps aptitude -f install / apt-get -f install took care of it [15:07] WaltzingAlong: Yes, that could be it [15:08] which as far as i know adept manager cannot do [15:11] WaltzingAlong: Thanks a lot for all help! [15:11] konrad: glad you got it working! [15:12] Hi...I'm having a spot of trouble with dolphin.

[15:35] wenus: it could be that someone else registered the nick already - so you cannot register it and do not know the password to it === wenus is now known as weenus5000 [15:36] poor cs_ , there goes another ATI victim back to windows :/ [15:36] weenus5000: it was registered, but hasn't been used in over a year so you can ask a staffer to drop it for you [15:36] Hello all [15:36] Hello, I have just recently changed to KDE from Gnome. There are two things I am missing: 1) ability to open a new session keeping the current working directory 2) URL handler able to work from the text in the terminal window. Any advice? [15:37] ptath: KMenu -> Switch User [15:37] Quick question. I just plugged in my new 500GB external HDD. I got the following error: hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000 [15:37] jack111: kmail / options / html formatting, then bold and such still are not sent? [15:38] draik: right mouse click the device, properties, then uncheck 'mount as user' [15:38] stdin: i was talking about konsole sessions not login sessions [15:39] ptath: ohh, session > new shell not working? [15:39] ptath: to launch konsole from konqueror with F4 would keep the current working directory [15:40] ptath: For your question number 2) try this: kfmclient exec file (where file can be a file on your system or an url like http://www.google.com) [15:40] ptath: you can also use bookmarks to open a shell at a specific location [15:40] Thank you WaltzingAlong [15:41] WaltzingAlong: thanks but I want to start the new session form the konsole [15:41] WaltzingAlong: hey, where do i check that if the option is ticked? i have only settings there and cannot really find it ..just looked through all [15:42] stdin: bookmarks are not felxible enough for this [15:42] WaltzingAlong: hey i found in the folders...prefer html to plain text..thats it i guess? [15:43] ptath: good question. if you did the f4 through konqueror then each subsequent session within konsole would start in the same working dir [15:45] ardchoille: thanks for kfmclient, it is kind of half solution but is better than nothing [15:45] good morning [15:45] has anyone tested the 4.0 rc1 packages on 7.10? [15:45] looking for some help with kubuntu on my new laptop [15:46] cuco: yes many of us [15:46] cuco: yes [15:46] it installs fine but will not boot [15:46] ptath: It simply uses the file association to launch the file in the associated app [15:46] anything special that will mess up completely my machine? [15:46] WaltzingAlong: re f4 from konqueror : interesting, unfortunately I don't really use file browsing, i am a cmdline type, will try anyway === naelr_ is now known as Naelr [15:47] cuco: kde4rc1 does not replace your kde3.5.x so you can use both or one and apps from the other [15:47] is it possible to run a full session? [15:47] cuco: yes [15:48] WaltzingAlong: yes yes... but do the new packages requier something that may mess up? [15:48] waltzubg [15:48] waltzing [15:48] cuco: na just follow the guide at www.kubuntu.org [15:48] hi risto [15:48] risto: still with the zip? [15:48] yea [15:48] normal zip [15:49] WaltzingAlong: re f4 from konqueror : it does not work either, the working dir ins not inherited [15:49] i dont no why i cant open it with ark [15:49] does anyone have any idea how to get my HD recognized by the boot up process I end up in a busybox everytime I try to boot [15:49] WaltzingAlong: any ubuntu rebranding, or stock kde4 packages? [15:49] would be kubuntu rebranding i suppose but as far as i know kde4 built for kubuntu [15:50] * Tm_T slaps MPat [15:50] ptath: for example when browsing with konqueror to ~/downloads then pressing F4 brings up konsole which starts in ~/downloads [15:51] cuco: it's pretty much stock kde4 [15:51] can someone suggest a channel that might be able to help me? [15:51] ardchoille: yes I understand, just read the manual. in gnome terminal you can open a menu with right click on any url no need for copy-paste [15:51] risto: so what do you think is the issue? i just downloaded that zip through konqueror/kget then clicked on it in konqueror which opened it in ark. now i could extract it all [15:51] Hello. Any idea how to persuade kmail to respect my umask of 0022 when saving attachments? [15:52] lol [15:52] cuco: in fact, I don't think we apply a single patch [15:52] (test) [15:52] i dont no mine thinks its docx file [15:52] stdin: sweet [15:52] ptath: You can do that in konsole too, use klipper and enable actions. Then right click on a url pops up the actions and asks what you want to do with the url. [15:52] stdin: are you using an intel based video card by any chance? [15:52] yeah [15:53] ptath: I use klipper actions quite a bit in irssi [15:53] Uptime: 1 days, 7 hours and 28 minutes [15:53] cuco: "Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)" [15:53] wrong channel [15:53] stdin: tested the kwin effects? when i tried it on svn a few months ago, it did nothing on my machine [15:53] can anyone even see me ? [15:54] Naelr: Yes [15:54] perhaps they have naelr filter set to on.... [15:54] hehe [15:54] oh I am alive .. this isn't a dream [15:54] 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) [15:54] cuco: it works if you don't choose OpenGL [15:54] WaltzingAlong: f4, yes I tried, it works first, but it does not keep the work dir subsequently, [15:54] lemme see if I can find the config [15:54] so no answer means we don't know... :D [15:54] ptath; if you're using konqueror you're in gui context so another way that you might want to make the console always available is to go to settings -> configure toolbar->main toolbar move konsole to active so it will come up on the menu and can be activated in what ever context that you are in in konqueror [15:54] ptath: right it will always be the one from which f4 was pressed [15:55] Naelr: Or it means the person(s) who do know are either away or not in the channel [15:55] ardchoille: re klipper: I will try it, never used before [15:56] ptath: klipper has lots of actions for different apps and content. copying text to the clipboard can trigger certain actions.. makes using the cli much easier. [15:56] ardcholille: i figured that one.. it was the people who are here and don't say sorry sir perhaps so and so might know but he is not on right now. This problem has been kicking my butt for going on 5 days now.. no help in forums so went looking for live people [15:58] ardchoille: don't suppose you know of a good ubunutu or even just linux channel where people might know some good stuff about busybox and why my hd isn't being detected on reboot [15:58] Hello all. I need your help- KNetworkManager no longer automatically connects to my wifi - and there's an entry listed as "hpsetup" ... any help? [15:58] Naelr: The problem with that is you'd end up having 380 replies of "I don't know".. that'd be annoying. [15:58] Naelr: #linux ? [15:59] mm i have a problem -,.- i have tryed to install kde4 but it said it has some problme with dowloading kde4core [15:59] where can i download that package [16:00] bucatoamano: what exactly did the error say? [16:00] I have my / and ~ on two separate partitions. How can I merge them into one partition? [16:00] ignoramus: just a second a redo [16:01] ignoramus: There was an error committing changes. Possible reasons include problems downloading some of the packages or that the commit would break other packages. [16:01] bucatoamano: did you try " sudo apt-get -f install " ? [16:01] ignoramus: i think yes but i re.try now [16:02] cuco: having something like this in ~/.kde4/share/config/kwinrc should work http://stdin.pastebin.com/m65a121d1 [16:03] stdin: XRender? wow... lame... how is the performance? [16:03] ignoramus: naa =( it said trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/kde4/share/icons/oxygen/64x64/actions/knewstuff.png', which is also in package kde-icons-oxygen [16:03] cuco: it's fine, I could never get the OpenGL backend to work so I tried XRender and it magically worked :p [16:03] bucatoamano: have you tried compiling from sources? [16:04] cuco: no noticeable lag that I saw [16:04] ignoramus: no i have read this http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-beta3.php [16:04] stdin: well, i will try tonight probably [16:05] cuco: if you're lucky I'll have kdeutils, kdetoys and kdenetwork uploaded by then [16:05] bucatoamano: and you've installed all the dev packages? [16:06] bucatoamano: remove ALL the old package FIRST [16:06] ignoramus: i have done only this sudo apt-get install kdebase-workspace and kde4base-dev. [16:06] http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php < [16:06] ignoramus: i have done only this sudo apt-get install kdebase-workspace kde4base-dev. [16:06] http://funcrush.tistory.com/77 is this wrong? [16:06] for anyone: I'm a Ubunutu user but for the heavy lifting I rely on konqueror because it supports just about every protocol I can think of fish, webdav http https bluetooth samba, I can copy a picture from my cellphone to my server across the internet. I'd like to see Windows explorer do that! [16:06] bucatoamano: wrong [16:06] how do you extract a tgz.gz ? [16:06] stdin: but omg i have read this http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-beta3.php [16:06] bucatoamano: please follow *every* step and try again [16:07] ardchoille: re klipper: that works - thanks; do you have any idea about keeping the working directory? [16:07] bucatoamano: that's beta3, that's old. we're at RC1 now [16:07] ptath: Working directory? Please explain [16:07] surgy: with ark [16:07] surgy first you do tar xzvf filename.gz [16:07] weenus5000: It works like that because konqueror is simply a shell for other modules [16:08] surgy: with Ark or tar xvf filename.tar [16:08] gzip: stdin: not in gzip format [16:08] tar: Child returned status 1 [16:08] stdin: ignoramus ok thank i will read http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php =) [16:08] how i can extract with unzip command ? [16:09] Risto: unzip filename [16:09] Risto: unzip filename.zip [16:09] unzip ? [16:09] ardchoille: when i open a new (terminal) session from konsole I'd like to keep the current working directory of the root (initial) konsole [16:09] weenus5000: ark says its not a zip [16:09] hhe got to work :D [16:10] ty for all [16:10] surgy: try just using "tar xvf filename" [16:10] ptath: I've not done that before, sounds like bookmarks or saving a session, not sure. [16:10] surgy: you can download rar, 7zip, etc to simply right-click and extract other types of compressed files [16:11] is there flash plugin for konqueror? [16:11] stdin: i tryed that [16:11] stdin: We no longer need the z or j (gz or bzip) in the arguments? [16:11] ardchoille: like bookmarks, but more dynamic; gnome-terminal always works this way -- make more sense than going $HOME [16:11] Risto: libflash-nonfree [16:12] ardchoille: tar will normally autodetect the type [16:12] ptath: Ah, yeah, ok [16:12] risto: for further documentation -------> http://freebsd.kde.org/howtos/konqueror-flash.php [16:12] stdin: Nice, ty [16:13] stdin the extension is just .tgz which is weird to me, and ark doesnt know how to handle it [16:13] Wow, it went from "tar -xzf file.gz" to "tar xzf file.gz" to tar xf file.gz", the arguments are getting easier to remember :) [16:13] surgy: tgz is short for tar.gz, usually used by slackware [16:13] stdin: ok [16:14] surgy: and tar xvzf filename.tgz didn't work? [16:14] nope [16:14] surgy: dumb question- you did "cd" to the proper directory, yes? [16:15] ignoramus: of course....... [16:15] surgy: ya never know... last week I troubleshot sound issues with a guy for 20 minutes before he discovered he had muted it =) [16:16] surgy, tar -xzvf filename.tgz [16:16] lol [16:16] well i spent 9 hours on this project last night just to find out i couldnt unzip the last file i need [16:17] err , tar -xvzf filname.tar.gz [16:17] gzip: stdin: not in gzip format [16:17] tar: Child returned status 1 [16:17] tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors [16:17] surgy: bad file [16:17] cant be [16:17] :( [16:18] surgy: do you have either Rar or 7Zip installed - sometimes theyre helpful... [16:18] If stdin says it's a bad file, then I would believe him [16:18] file file.tgz [16:18] Bad file, bad file! [16:18] surgy@derek:~/Desktop$ file GSsoft-0.61.tgz [16:18] GSsoft-0.61.tgz: POSIX tar archive (GNU) [16:18] :) [16:19] it's not tgz, it's TAR [16:19] heh [16:19] its the only file that has this software that im aware of [16:19] stdin: so? [16:19] tar xfv GSsof-0.61.tgz [16:19] surgy: mv GSsoft-0.61.tgz GSsoft-0.61.tar; tar xf GSsoft-0.61.tar [16:19] or that first ^^ [16:20] I'm not sure if tar detects my magic or filename, so rename to tar [16:20] rawks thnx guys [16:22] i thought tar knew what to do because of tar z for gzip and j for bz2 [16:22] WaltzingAlong: NEwer versions of tar should have detected that [16:22] I guess it's not perfect yet [16:23] ardchoille: it probably looks at the file extension [16:23] course if we tell tar to extract through gzip though the file is not gzipped should tar ignore our request? [16:24] * genii thinks about the magic tricks stdin could do with tar [16:24] no, options are explicit [16:24] tar expects the user to be smarter than it is :p [16:25] lol [16:26] help, i cant seem to make tremulous or google earth to work in my 7.04. when i try to run them it goes back to login screen badabing [16:28] well [16:28] i need help with pcsx2 but this is the wrong place. [16:28] a lot of people seem to be asleep? [16:29] ok,can anybody pls tell me why im brought back to log in screen when i try to run tremulous or google earth? [16:30] dan__: Sounds like a crash, I'm afraid :/ [16:30] dan__: Let me guess - ATI card? [16:30] ok nvidia geforce 64 [16:30] what was the widget engine for KDE ? [16:30] very old [16:31] i got to geforce 440 64mb [16:31] i run a pentium 3 with 256 mb ram and 4 gigs of hard disk [16:31] dan__: Hmmm... not sure then. What about something simple like glxgears? [16:31] dan__: Wow! [16:32] but i was able to run trem on dapper then [16:32] Risto: widget engine is QT3.3 I think for KDE 3.5.x [16:32] hehe ok maybe not 4 gig - its 30 [16:32] !glxgears [16:33] To display the FPS in glxgears, run 'glxgears -printfps' in a terminal. [16:34] SSJ_GZ: could you tell me what you meant? [16:34] dan__: Oh - open a terminal, and run [16:34] glxgears [16:34] dan__: and see if it crashes at all. === sebastien is now known as sebastien__ === sebastien__ is now known as sebastien [16:35] dan__: Obviously, save your work first :) [16:36] ok the gears are turning blue green and red [16:36] i meant they were turning aroound [16:37] dan__: Ok, so your comp can run a 3d app without crashing - that's good news [16:37] dan__: Not really sure what to suggest from here - I was expecting that to crash :/ [16:38] sigh...thanks for trying tho [16:38] sounds like tremulous and google earth are crashing xorg [16:39] im really a nub been switching back and forth - winxp - dapper - winxp - feisty [16:39] this is the first time i wasnt able to run trem [16:40] man i love that game [16:40] imho best ever fps (aside from cs) [16:40] dan__: nvidia geforce 64 ? Not geforce go 6400? [16:41] yep the first one 64 - and a pentium 3 with 256 mb of pc100 ram [16:42] dan__: I don't even see that card listed on nvidia's list [16:42] how can i record radio ?? :] [16:42] ? meaning not existing or not supported? well its here [16:43] combinio: internet radio you mean? [16:43] dan__: Meaning not supported [16:43] biovore: yeap :) [16:43] gstreamripper works I think [16:43] thats strange tho for it not to run in 7.04 when it ran trem in dapper [16:43] there are programs [16:43] dan__: How did you get the model of that card? lspci | grep vga ? [16:43] !gstreamripper [16:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about gstreamripper - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [16:43] I guess thats not it.. [16:44] biovore: i've already installed streamripper [16:44] that command didnt do anything [16:44] but don't know how to use it :/ [16:44] dan__: Sorry, it's: lspci | grep VGA [16:45] oops my bad [16:45] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 MX/MX 400] (rev b2) [16:45] Thought so [16:46] sorry [16:46] np :) [16:46] :) [16:46] dan__: That card requires the legacy nvidia driver. Did you install it? [16:47] not yet [16:47] dan__: Want me to walk you thru it? [16:47] theres a gui for that now [16:48] surgy: I realise that but that gui has broken things on lots of computers [16:48] ill try to spare you the trouble ;) [16:48] dan__: It's no trouble, let me know if you want me to help :) [16:48] ardchoille: i was unaware worked fine on mine :) === DeadS0ul is now known as spawn57 [16:48] surgy: You're lucky [16:49] alright - ill tell when im desperate lol [16:49] ok [16:52] !compiz [16:52] Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default.

If so, you should install the kubuntu-desktop meta-package [16:59] <_michael> hello is there a way when dual booting to get lilo to when booting linux show the existance of the windows drive, but when windows boots for it to not know the linux drive even exists? [16:59] ya [16:59] ok [17:01] _michael: windows only recognises windows formatted partitions (FAT and NTFS), anything else it ignores [17:01] _michael: firstly, Kubuntu comes with GRUB as default [17:02] _michael: secondly, GRUB chainloads Windows, so it thinks it's started by the BIOS [17:03] <_michael> sandsmark: I know but I had to install lilo to get it to boot it was available as an alternative [17:03] what are pre released updates.? is it important to check it while upgrading or updating. [17:04] <_michael> My biggest concern is that a virus that may format the drive woudl come on windows and with the linux drive connected it may be formatted. Is that a valid concern or is it impossible? [17:04] i installed nvidia legacy === ubuntu is now known as naelr2 [17:07] _michael: highly unprobably [17:07] *probable [17:08] _michael: there's been maybe two proof-of-concept viruses that could spread between different types of partitions in windows [17:10] what are pre released updates.? is it important to check it while upgrading or updating. [17:10] * genii sips a coffee [17:11] <_michael> Well that is a relief, but do you know I can edit lilo.conf and add an option to the windows entry blocking it from knowing about a second drive? maybe something like "ignore hda" (as windows will be the slave drive) [17:16] dan__: Good job! Is the game working now? [17:16] Morning genii [17:16] I just upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 on a ppc, and now my kmix won't work at all; I'm getting now sound. Any advice?

[17:18] dan__: ok [17:18] <_michael> A second question if I were to do a full upgrade in adept followed by a version upgrade would I lose ANY of my current configurations (even aethetic preferences?) or would I turn on the system and everything would be displayed as I had before with only "under the hood" changes? [17:18] ardchoille: Hiya :) Sorry for lag, giving assistance in #ubuntu plus also trying to eat lunch [17:18] :) [17:19] _michael: your personal configs are in your $HOME, usually upgrades don't touch those unless absolutely necessary [17:20] I put alsmixer through the terminal and got this: alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device [17:20] *alsamixer [17:20] ubotu: !adept crash frix [17:20] ubotu: !adept crash fix [17:20] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [17:21] loguser1: With the increasing use of certain Linux distros, I would guess they will be around for quite some time [17:21] <_michael> ardchoille: Thanks and I'm running off the backup kernel know if I upgrade the kernel again will it remove by current backup kernel? [17:21] brb ardchoille need to free up resources - thanks in advance [17:21] ardchoille: about how many years? [17:21] _michael: No, you'll ned to remove kernels manually. But, it's good to keep the last three kernels just in case, IMHO. [17:22] loguser1: No one knows the future. 10 years from now a different OS maybe gaining popularity. Who knows. [17:23] hmm [17:23] <_michael> ardchoille: Great but in the upgrade will it only upgrade the packages I have installed or will it install all the packages in the new kubuntu-desktop (for example I don't need bluetooth support so I removed it along with other things), and I would have to remove then all over again? [17:23] are disrtros converatable? [17:24] loguser1: There's no guarantee that you or I will be alive 10 years from now. [17:24] but there is probabilty [17:24] are disrtros converatable? [17:24] _michael: I'm not sure how upgrades work exactly, I never upgrade. [17:24] loguser1: What do you mean by convertible? [17:25] I opened gnome-alsamixer and I get a blank window. When I go to the "configure soundcard" menus, it crashes. Still no sound...please advise!

[18:24] hi, i have exaclty the same problem as described here http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=95493&p=22 post 540 while trying to install kde 4 rc 1. I followed the instructions here,http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php and i don't know what to do now ... [18:24] loguser1: you can ask in #winehq if viruses that are made for Windows will work on Linux. but biovore already gave you an answer [18:25] biovore: can you repeat pls [18:25] claetuss, hmmm i'm not really to knowledgeable about things like this.. [18:26] claetuss, maybe a permissions problem? [18:26] you'd think though, that the directory would be visible, just inaccessible, esp. as root, right? [18:27] claetuss that looks formatted. so your data is probably long gone. [18:27] oh yeah, i didn't see that 1% use.. [18:28] No one to help me ? ... [18:28] claetuss: unless you have only around 200MB of data on it, which is unlikely i guess. [18:29] awag/fdoving: yeah... poop. I don't remember formatting it. Thanks for the help though, it's appreciated [18:29] yeah, that sucks man [18:30] is there a way that i can stop wine to auto open an .exe (windows app) instead i always have to open a windows exe file by konsole. ? [18:30] jbesiee: I'd try, except I don't speak french and the translator won't pick up on the colloquialisms [18:30] loguser1: Perhaps ask in channel #winehq [18:31] loguser1, if you go to properties of any file [18:31] loguser1, in kde, you can set the defualt application used to open it [18:31] loguser1, just remove all the applications from the default application for .exe files [18:31] loguser1, which should only be wine [18:32] loguser1, then even if you click on it i think it should ask you what you want to open it with [18:34] yes. but there are many kings of viruses. like .bat .scr etc [18:35] claetuss : i'm going to revert back to english and make a pastebin [18:36] Hi, i have a problem , i instaleed crossover and install a program, all is ok except that the .exe fle are not asocieted to run with crossover, the .exe have now the crossover icon but i cannot run them, and the shortcuts to the installed software do not appear on descktop [18:36] jb: not promising anything, I'm a bit of a noob myself, want to save yourself some effort and synopsize for me? [18:37] hi [18:37] claetuss : what do you propose me to do ? [18:37] loguser1, won't a virus run inder wine only cause problems within the wine folder and other wine related things [18:37] i have upgraded to gusty now and kde has now shortcuts on my Email and mute key [18:38] simion: can you find the installed software? if so, just click and drag to desktop and choose create link here (or whatever it says) [18:38] loguser1, i'm pretty sure that is the case [18:38] how can i delete these default shortcuts??

I've installed kUbuntu and removed "konqueror" and "hplip" packages after that. Now there's no option to pack/unpack a file with ark, when I right-click on an icon. I can open it with ark, which IS installed, but no option is in the menu :/ [18:45] Hi, I wonder, I want to have a virtual machine, I'll use virtualbox, Can I decide on which parition I want to install it? Or do I have to install the guest OS at my main "/" partition? [18:46] JB: YOU ROCK [18:46] sorry for shouting [18:46] ubuntu, you can put it anywhere you want i think [18:47] ubuntu, you make a file, that acts as a virtual harddrive for your virtual machine [18:47] just start up virtualbox, it more or less will tell you what to do i think === Pricey is now known as PriceChild [18:47] ubuntu: by default it will install in a hidden .VirtualBox folder in your home [18:48] claetuss : thx :D [18:48] ubuntu: you're not going to really install an OS on a real partition [18:48] exactly [18:48] Jucato, Ok. But I can change it? [18:48] hi all [18:48] speak french ?

[18:48] thank's [18:48] ubuntu: it has nothing to do with partitions [18:48] Can anyone edit this page : http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php ? It seems you also have to remove the kde4base-data package before attempting an kde4 rc1 update [18:49] jbesiee: it does say remove all kde4 beta packages right? [18:49] Jucato, oh :(, well, my goal is that if my XP parition gets a virus, it shouldn't be able to touch my "/" path [18:49] here is what is said : "Remove previous KDE 4 packages, they are not compatible (apt-get remove kdelibs5)" [18:49] ubuntu, it won't work like that anyway [18:49] ubuntu: it really won't [18:50] ubuntu: again, you are not installing on a partition. think of a virtual machine as a big file that holds the OS [18:50] ubuntu, the way it works to my knowledge, is that virtualbox will make a file that will act as a virtual harddrive, the entire disk [18:50] it's just a file [18:50] it should be "Remove previous KDE 4 packages, they are not compatible (apt-get remove kdelibs5 kde4base-data )" [18:50] stdin: ping [18:50] ubuntu, anything that you do in virtualbox, with windows xp, will be contained in that one file [18:50] stdin: re: what jbesiee said === beata_ is now known as Aleksander-pl [18:51] awag, jucato, thanks. Can I decide to have that specific 'big file' on another partition? Or is that just unnessecary? [18:52] how can i get a microphone working with kopete? for a yahoo account? [18:52] ubuntu: unnecessary unless you really *really* want to [18:52] espanñol alguien habla its my firts time [18:52] ubuntu, but yeah if you want to, like for example, i had my virtualbox stuff on an entire different harddrive for a while, just because i didn't have space on my main drive [18:52] awag,jucato , I though to have 16 GB for my main parition (Im in live CD installing), but I shoiuld rather make it huger if I want to have a virtual machine on it, right? [18:52] ubuntu: the thing is, it doesn't matter. virtual machines don't really mind your partitions [18:52] ubuntu: yes [18:53] ubuntu, how big is the drive? [18:53] !es | maikel [18:53] maikel: Si busca ayuda en Español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá mas ayuda. [18:53] awag. It's totally 160 GB, I at very first thought to have a 16 GB and a ~20GB for the XP guest Virtual machine, but I should put those togehter, right? [18:54] is the rest of your drive, other than swap going to be used as /home? [18:54] how can i get a microphone working with kopete? for a yahoo account? [18:54] awag, I have another drive jsut for legally downloaded stuff ;), I thought of it being 110 GB [18:56] ubuntu, if you are going to mount a nice big partition on /home then you don't have to have a huge main partition, but i'd definately go with more than 16 gb === nietgen is now known as Nietgen [18:56] awag, hmm, 36 GB :)?, what do you think about that? [18:57] !version [18:57] To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell [18:58] ubuntu, sure, is your home going to be on a different partition / drive though? [18:59] awag, No, I have my /home/ at the same partition Im installing Kubuntu, is that good/bad? [18:59] oh, well in that case, make it way bigger [19:00] awag, /home/ ,I dont use that so much , do you? I thought it just was for some personal documents and such, I have all my media on the big partition [19:00] ubuntu, for example, i have an 80 gb drive as my main drive mounted on / and then i have a 320 gb drive mounted on /home [19:00] ubuntu, well yeah i did that at one point a few years ago, when i first tried to use linux, and then someone told me to do it this way [19:01] see if you put all your important stuff in home, and have it so that home points to another disk or partition entirely [19:01] awag, did you see any improvement? I mean, was it worth it? [19:01] well, the only thing is, if you want to reformat, and reinstall your OS [19:01] you can reformat your / without touching your home [19:03] and since alot of things automatically get saved to your home dir, if it is all safe on a separate partition you won't have to worry about trying to find your files to back up if you want to format [19:04] awag, what you say makes sense, but I keep it to less than 2-3 GB; I mean documents take no space right? [19:04] yeah if thats all you use it for thats fine [19:05] awag, If I want it that way.... should I type the mount point: '/home/' in kparted? [19:05] awag, or wahtever that partitiion program that is in the installation program is labeled [19:06] are you in the middle of an install on another machine right now?

[19:36] Lacrymology: did it crash while upgrading? [19:37] lol [19:37] Jucato: if I open the updater and click on new version, it downloads the "updater program" or something like that and dies [19:37] Jucato: then I sudo adept_updater and I get that output after doing that [19:38] but you should use adept_manager for upgrading to 7.10... although not sure if that will fix it [19:38] I mean, I get the "press version upgrade" then the "press finish" after "downloading and veryfying upgrade tool" [19:38] did you follow the upgrade instructions exactly?

[19:53] awag: nope, just k3b when it crashes, I am running 3 programs now at the slower speed and it works [19:54] awag: I ran across this post where this guy said he saw on a windows forum that sometimes the laser can get dim and won't write as fast, but would that return that kind of error? [19:56] Yep, successful burn at 4x [19:58] even if the cd could be burnt at 32x, for example, should be more compatible with a slower burn [20:01] at least this has been so in my experience especially with video dvd formatted discs [20:01] i'll agree. as lower the speed. more secure to write a cd/dvd better [20:01] Oh yes, I know they work down, I just can't figure out why k3b was returning the permission error when it was set on auto (and we're not talking about hyper speed 16x or less) [20:02] Anyway, I don't mind waiting thanks for the help everyone [20:02] Night [20:04] Is there anything Visual-Studio like for Linux?

I dont think that has to do with fstab, though im not sure at all [20:43] ksal: right click it in konq and properties, should be there somewhere [20:43] ksal: under "media:/", I think [20:44] oops.

[21:03] for bb checking [21:03] darn hd went kabam when i did a fsck /dev/sdb4 it said 'is this a zero legenth partition' unfortunatly it was /home :) [21:03] hello everyone. i'm trying to record some sound using krec and that's not working. audacity and skype work with my mic, how can i tell kde what to use as sound input? [21:03] i did do a mkfs with an option to check badblocks [21:04] just wondering if there was somthing more 'in depth' to help me decide to toss the HD. or reformat/reinstall/watch it die again. :) [21:05] bonsoir [21:06] * genii sips a coffee [21:06] genii: all that coffee can't be good :-P [21:07] hi everybody [21:07] hello johannes__ [21:07] leo_rockw: To the contrary, it's extremely tasty [21:07] genii: hahaha [21:07] can someone help me with wine? im new to linux ^^ [21:08] johannes__: There is a channel for them, #winehq Just to install it, use the package manager [21:08] thx for the channel ;) [21:08] eg: kmenu..Add/Remove Programs [21:08] I have it already instaled [21:09] you should need wine too much, unless you're trying to play games. in which case you can buy a ps2 with the money you saved from the winbugs license [21:09] shouldn't* [21:09] I don't ned it for gaming [21:10] johannes__: what are you trying to run? [21:10] howdy folks, I am having trouble connecting my mp3 player... [21:10] I am getting error -71 in my dmesg output [21:10] * Wolf32 is away: Zur Zeit nicht da. [21:11] * Wolf32 is back. [21:22] Hi, which progam should I use to scan (images, text)? [21:23] Hmm. I thought 'kooka' was the default tool for that. [21:23] !info kooka [21:23] kooka: scanner program for KDE. In component main, is optional.

[21:28] morphinex: for... [21:28] Tm_T: for Psi 0.11 [21:28] is there anybody that can help me for my printer on kubuntu 7.04? [21:28] It seems kind of insane to do a full upgrade to gutsy justy so I can get that one library [21:29] IS there any known problems with installing Kubuntu on a Dell laptop? because I've resinstalled this about 5 times, and no luck [21:29] it keeps saying something about not being able to allocate memory in resourse 7 or something [21:29] is there anybody that can help me for my printer on kubuntu 7.04? [21:29] Dell makes a lot of laptops. :) [21:29] Evil_`, may want to try the alternative installer cd. [21:29] bye [21:29] alternative installer cd? [21:29] Ihad a odd machine that would crash on the live cd. but the alt install cd worked fine. [21:30] Alternive install cd = text only installer, no live desktop [21:30] ah [21:30] novizio: Better to state the specific problem you're having, and what printer it is. No need to repeat while your original question is still on-screen. [21:30] Ok, I'll try it...thanks :) [21:30] Evil_`: It's test-based, but very easy to follow. [21:31] alright, is it on the livecd? [21:31] No, it's a diff cd, the alternate cd [21:31] Evil_`: The alternate install CD is not on the live CD, no. [21:32] Psi is packaged in a weird way... the .deb file I found will actually installed on edgy, but it crashes when it tries to connect [21:33] i have an Epson dx7400 print/scanner, and mi kubuntu 7.04 haven't driver for that printer. [21:33] how can i tell kde what device to use to input sound? [21:33] novizio, check cups.org to see if that printer has any linux sypport. that site may suggest a alternative driver for it. [21:34] thanks! i'm going.. [21:35] well bbl.. egads.. the 'inlaws' got a computer at walmart today.. Now i have to explain to them why they cant get the internet... they dont even have cable. :) [21:36] I think i may hide from them for a few days [21:36] Hmm, is there a way I can download the alternative CD and burn it to a disk...from the livecd? I have a feeling the answer is no lol [21:36] Dr_willis: They thought... you just plug it in, eh? Maybe all that wifi stuff people talk about... [21:37] Evil_`: Dunno why not. [21:37] because I can't take the livecd out [21:37] Evil_`: ...because you have a partial install that doesn't work? [21:37] jhutchins, they are so old.. they can barely read the screens with 1 inch tall letters. [21:37] Evil_`: Were you setting it up to dual-boot? [21:37] :) [21:37] no === ee| is now known as casey| [21:45] Dr-Willis, on cups.org i don't found my drivers, but on epson-org i found they... the problem is this: how can i install the drivers named f.es.: pipslite-1.0.1.tar.gz ??? this ia a zipped archive and i don't know whot can i do! === genii is now known as skynet [21:45] Evil_`: It's worth a try. [21:45] if i shrink and ext3 partition in qtparted how can i be sure it won't damage the data on it? [21:45] *an [21:45] novizio: Look for instructions on the web site or in the tar.gz, which should open with ark. [21:45] my disk drive won't open :P [21:46] bouhhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!

[21:46] on va pas s'en sortir [21:47] !br | julsha [21:47] julsha: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado. [21:47] jhutchins: a backup isn't possible... it's too big [21:47] voicu: External hard drive. [21:47] i could go on windows and use partition magic but i want to know how to do it in kubuntu [21:47] voicu: You can never be completely sure you won't loose data if you mess with partitions. [21:47] hello, I downloaded this live dvd from my isp and it said it's ubuntu but it installed kde automatically from wubi, any idea how I can get it to run ubuntu-desktop? I've tried sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and it almost completed but half way through unpackaging it gave me no space errors. [21:48] I open it, but inside there are about 300 files, but nothing with the extension like a driver... [21:48] voicu: qtparted is as reliable as partition magic. === juergen_ is now known as fowler [21:48] novizio: look for README or INSTALL. === fowler is now known as fowlerhh [21:48] jhutchins: can't i defragment an ext3 or something? put all the data at one end? === RogueJediX is now known as genii [21:48] voicu: ext2/3 doesn't usually fragment. === genii is now known as RogueJediX [21:49] jhutchins: soo... i can assume the data is already at the beggining and all the free space at the end? [21:49] voicu: Let's say yes. === skynet is now known as genii [21:49] how can i fix this error: "ar: lib/lib.a: No such file or directory" ? i've got lib.a in my kernel-lib directory... [21:50] voicu: If not, qtparted is going to move it anyway. [21:50] snikker: context? [21:50] jhutchins: kernel recompile... === ubuntu is now known as Newbuntu [21:50] snikker: Which step? [21:50] jhutchins: aha, i'll try qtparted then [21:50] snikker: What guide are you following? [21:51] jhutchins: make bzImage === Newbuntu is now known as nicknotpwned [21:51] voicu: Just be aware that there is always a risk, even with partition magic. [21:51] what are the odds newbuntu is registered? lol [21:52] jhutchins, well yeah, i know [21:52] jhutchins: could i save the file table or something? is it in a particular place? [21:52] snikker: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [21:52] maybe dd if=/dev/sda3 of=backup count=10000? [21:52] am I in the right channel to get help on this installing ubuntu from kubuntu wubi problem? [21:53] nicknotpwned: you boot into kubuntu.. and do apt-get install ubuntu-desktop.. [21:53] jhutchins, this is my command in the shell 'rpm -i --nodeps pipslite-cups-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm' and this the 'error.. rpm -i --nodeps pipslite-cups-1.0.1-1.i386.rpm' can u help me? [21:54] novizio: we don't use rpm's in this distro.. try alien [21:54] biovore: yes. I did that. But half-way through unpackaging it gave me errors that there was no space left. But I've only used about 8% of my 5gb virtual fs. [21:55] jhutchins: i'm in a uclibc chroot, and i can't compile in ubuntu-way, i must use the classic way ()make menu config, make dep, ecc.)... [21:55] hmm.. probably out of disk space.. if its only 5GB.. kubuntu and gnome at the same time takes some space.. 3 -> 4 GB with all the apps it installs with them.. [21:55] o [21:56] any idea how I can find out how much this wubi kubuntu is using? [21:56] voicu: The option to dump the partition table to a file is missing from the current gnu fdisk, but may be available in parted, gparted, or qtparted. [21:56] I think you can grow the virtual filesystem in windows with the wubi installer I think.. [21:56] nicknotpwned: boot into linux and type "df -h" [21:57] novizio: You would need to use alien to transform the rpm to a deb file, or you can look for a deb file directly. [21:57] novizio: you would need to aptitude install alien first, since it's not included by default. [21:57] biovore: it says there are 8 fs, one of them is the live dvd. [21:57] !info alien [21:57] alien: install non-native packages with dpkg. In component main, is optional. Version 8.68 (gutsy), package size 101 kB, installed size 276 kB [21:58] nicknotpwned: df? df -h? fdisk -l? [21:58] biovore: if I add them all up it's using about 17mb which doesn't sound right. [21:58] jhutchins, how can i do to install alien? === miles_ is now known as stansmith [21:59] hello [21:59] novizio: aptitude install alien [21:59] can anyone point me to a great reference on microcontrollers using C ? [21:59] stansmith: Depends on the microcontoller [22:00] jhutchins: can u tell me what have to do for became root? [22:00] !sudo | novizio [22:00] novizio: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. [22:00] !kdesu | novizio [22:00] novizio: In KDE, use « kdesudo » (Gutsy) or « kdesu » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [22:00] hi ppl. [22:00] biovore: i have seen the word "PIC" thrown around, im guessing this is the type of MC i want [22:01] Im trying to play a game under wine, but its not working very well.

[22:05] ardchoille: yeah just switched to non default mirror and it has it. [22:05] odd [22:05] biovore: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45627/ is what I get when I do df -h. It doesn't look very informative, so I don't know whether I've filled up the wubi. [22:05] positive internet mirror is sloooowww [22:05] row: All the official sources should be enabled.

[22:07] df is only going to show things that are mounted in the live filesystem.

[22:08] jhutchins: i'm not sure that i understand.. is there a place where can speak italian? [22:08] nicknotpwned: You're running on something like a live CD filesystem, you can't install a whole alternate desktop on it. [22:08] nicknotpwned: You're still running within windows! [22:09] exit [22:09] nicknotpwned: If you want to do that, do an install-to-disk (which is what I thoguht that tool was for), boot to the install, then add stuff.

[22:11] TNX [22:11] bye [22:11] jhutchins: I'm not running kubuntu on top of windows. There was a boot screen the moment I turned my computer on to select either ubuntu-linux or Windows XP Home. [22:12] hi all, can i improve my kubuntu boot time/speed?, it takes 3-4 times more time to start then windows, can i stop some checkings? [22:15] nicknotpwned: You're not running a standard installation of linux. It looks like a live CD. [22:16] Pasting 4 lines against the rules here: [22:16] Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on [22:16] /dev/hda3 68G 44G 22G 68% / [22:16] /dev/hda2 4.8G 3.8G 1.1G 78% /windows [22:16] none 252M 8.0K 252M 1% /tmp [22:18] I don't need a cd to boot though [22:18] That's what a linux system should look like from df -h. [22:18] and I can save files in kubuntu [22:18] Your installer has probably installed linux as a file on your windows system like an iso, and is mounting it like a CD. [22:18] yes [22:19] #kubuntu-de [22:19] except I don't think windows is mounting it, I think wubi convinces linux that it is a real hardrive [22:19] nicknotpwned: Essentially. [22:20] that's what I gather from their faq [22:20] jhutchins: so, any idea how I can know how much of the virtual drive I've used and how much free space there is left? [22:20] nicknotpwned: it looks like what you end up with a 500M drive. [22:21] 500mb left? [22:21] nicknotpwned: If you just want to play with gnome, I'd go with the ubuntu live CD. [22:21] nicknotpwned: 500MB total. [22:21] lol [22:21] jhutchins: can you run ubuntu live from the dvd? [22:21] nicknotpwned: You should see a / and there should be /home/ directories. [22:22] nicknotpwned: I believe so, I'm still pretty much in CD land. [22:22] nicknotpwned: As far as I know, though, you can't run from the CD and save files and settings automatically, so you can't like boot the kubuntu CD and install gnome. [22:23] * lavacano201014 plays Tremulous [/ame] [22:23] jhutchins: kubuntu fits on a 500mb drive? [22:23] ubuntu makes me want to flush my head down a toilet sometimes [22:23] knoppix has an option to save your files and settings to a windows partition, but you still don't go doing major installations on it. [22:23] I might put it on my old notebook [22:23] nicknotpwned: Probably not, that's probably a RAM file for "scratch" space. It's usually 2-5GB. [22:24] jhutchins: oh [22:25] nicknotpwned: For older systems you might try dsl or puppy linux. [22:26] jhutchins: are those any more performant or just take less space? [22:26] jhutchins: the dvd comes with both ubuntu and kubuntu doesn't it? [22:29] * casey| insert head into toilet [22:29] * casey| flushes [22:30] Not the patient type, was he?

[22:37] RogueJediX: rdesktop will connect with an XP box. [22:37] RogueJediX: yeah, using krdc is a good idea [22:37] Cool. So all I have to do is enable rdc at her computer? [22:38] RogueJediX: Yep.

[23:05] I've installed all the dependencies and things I need, now I just need to do the SVN part. [23:06] is on kde's site [23:06] Arv3n: Have you read the guide on techbase? [23:06] no. [23:07] http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4? [23:07] Which part do I do? I've done the installing required programs part, now do I just skip to kdebase? [23:07] Arv3n: Beat me to it - yes, that's the one :) [23:07] Arv3n: Thats it.. [23:08] No. [23:08] Yes.. [23:08] I just installed the required software to actually do the SVN part. [23:08] not actual kde4 itself. [23:08] read some more.. [23:08] Arv3n: Probably skip to "Create a user account for KDE4 development" [23:08] im just wondering, its kind of confusing. [23:08] no, im using the same user. [23:08] Arv3n: Just start at the top and work down, really. [23:08] it say how to check the code out.. create a development user and then build the code.. [23:09] hiya, how do i see how many threads an application is using ? [23:09] do i need to build ALL that? [23:09] or can i just do kdebase? [23:09] just have to weed though some of the crap that ins there.. [23:09] that just does kdebase I think.. [23:09] isnt that all i need? -_- [23:10] & is there a way to see how much cpu each thread is using? [23:10] Arv3n: You'll need cmake, dbus (might both be in your repositories), qt, kdesupprt, kdelibs, kdepimlibs (at least) [23:10] Arv3n: KDE is pretty big :) [23:11] im using linspire, lol. [23:11] Arv3n: Hehe [23:11] some guy on the #suse channel said it took an hour to install. is that REALLY all it takes? [23:12] Arv3n: Depends on what you compile. I would say more than that, though, depending on the speed of your CPU. [23:12] pentium 4 1.6ghz o_o [23:12] will it take 8 hours? [23:12] Arv3n: Aaargh [23:12] Arv3n: If you only want up to kdebase, I would think less than 8 hours. [23:13] -_- [23:13] i was under the impression it would take an hour, lol. [23:13] Arv3n: I generally build almost the entirety of KDE every day, so I can't really give an estimate :/ [23:13] ic. [23:13] well, is there an svn repo? [23:13] i mean, like for apt-get [23:14] Arv3n: If you don't mind using it in a VM, then there's my project ("KDE4Daily") [23:14] Arv3n: http://dot.kde.org/1195829316/ [23:14] hey, are you that guy on the ubuntu forums that keeps advertising that?

[23:15] its not important, no one knows me. xD [23:15] Arv3n: Hehe :) [23:15] i usually visit hte freespire forums, and other smaller ones. [23:15] i just lurk in bigger forums. [23:15] Has anyone tried to get side-scrolling to work on a mouse? [23:15] and this is perfect, because i have vmware workstation installed. [23:17] ew, torrent. [23:17] is the torrent very fast? [23:17] Arv3n: There's over 350 people on it, so it should be OK, I think. [23:17] well, i have a 160kb/s internet connection. [23:17] so.. [23:17] Arv3n: Nobody has tested it with VMWare, yet, so if you'd like to be a guinea-pig ... :) [23:18] sounds good to me, do you have msn? [23:18] Arv3n: If you read the comments in the Dot article, there's instructions for creating a vmdk image that I think VMWare uses. [23:18] Arv3n: Yep, but I'm about to go to bed :/ [23:18] well i mean i could use qemu or something. [23:18] where do you live? europe? [23:18] Arv3n: Yep - UK [23:18] nice. [23:19] Can someone help me set up my mouse's button mappings? [23:19] *whistles old spice song* [23:19] ok im getting semidecent speeds, it should be finished tonight. [23:20] Arv3n: Cool :) [23:20] dude, why cant bit torrent just have stable speeds. [23:20] it was at 100kb/s then it keeps going down to 3kb/s. [23:20] -_-v [23:20] Arv3n: Dunno - getting this thing seeded has been a real chore. [23:20] well, my upload speed = download speed, so ill keep it on all night and stuff. [23:21] Hello? [23:21] im uploading more than im downloading right now, so shmeh. [23:21] hello scrubb2000 [23:21] Arv3n: Thanks:) [23:21] whats up people [23:21] np. [23:21] kde4 = win [23:21] you using the beta? [23:21] and the only thing it can do now is keep getting better. [23:22] beta? rc is out now. lol [23:22] oh real? [23:22] yeah [23:22] been out for a few days. [23:22] 3 days [23:22] rc is still beta.. [23:22] technically its not. [23:22] Anyone handy with mouse configuration in here? [23:22] its pre-release.. [23:22] ? === dac_ is now known as _dac_ [23:22] i dont understand. [23:22] rc --> Release Canidate, [23:22] !fr haku [23:22] Sorry, I don't know anything about fr haku - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:23] erf [23:23] Not an actual release.. === beroualm is now known as abyssion [23:23] yeah, i know. [23:23] !fr abyssion [23:23] Sorry, I don't know anything about fr abyssion - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:23] rc =/= beta [23:23] Hey all [23:23] I used to have an nvidia card, so I've got all the nvidia-glx stuff installed. but now i have an intel card [23:24] what package to I install for glx for intel? [23:24] someone left 4 unopened linksys network cards laying at the bottom of the stairs to my apartments [23:24] * awag now owns them [23:24] lol [23:24] lucky. [23:24] apt-cache search glx mentions intel and ati, but nothing about intel [23:25] <_dac_> .join #ubuntu [23:25] Hey folks...anyone know what the deal is with /dev/mapper after upgrading? === beroualm is now known as abyssion [23:27] CHICKEN_HEAD, you are the first ive heard mention anything about /dev/mapper [23:28] You may want to check the forums. im not even sure what /dev/mapper is :) [23:28] Well, before upgrading I had /dev/sdc1 -> /usr/local. After upgrading, /dev/sdc1 no longer works...only /dev/mapper/sdc1 works. [23:28] So I'm guessing nobody can help me because everyone's just ignoring my requests? === michael is now known as ChanShe [23:29] scrubb2000, its always good to be very clear and concise.. [23:29] And I see now that my cdrom devices are only accessible via /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1. [23:29] CHICKEN_HEAD, a lot of ide decices are now 'moved' to scsi type names. as part of some kernel improvements. [23:30] Ive never noticed /dev/sr# befor. Thats interesting. [23:30] dr_willis, I have an M$ wireless laser mouse 5000. It has a four-way mouse wheel (up,down, left, right) and I'd like to get it working in Kubuntu Gutsy [23:30] Ah...that would explain a lot. Both CDROM devices are IDE> [23:31] scrubb2000, i do recall some gentoo wiki pages that went into a lot of details on multi-button mice. I have not personally used them however. Thers proberly some ubuntu wiki pages on it also. You will proberly need to edit the xorg.conf file manually. [23:32] I recall there being a lot of issues with side scrolling on those things. since thats in many ways a very nonstandard feature. [23:32] I don't know if anyone here uses XDMCP (logging in remotely to an x-server), but it is completely broken by Xgl being enabled in Gutsy. [23:32] dr_willis, I'm not afraid to do that, and I've found the relevant wiki pages on ubuntu.com, but I don't know how to figure out what signals are sent when I press each button. [23:32] i.e. I can't map what I don't know about. [23:33] scrubb2000, Hmm.. the 'xev' (i think) command comes to mind. === beroualm is now known as abyssion [23:34] hola [23:34] quien esta hay [23:36] dr_willis, OK, that's a start. [23:37] scrubb2000, the Gentoo pages on mice are some of the most detailed ive seen. :) may want to check them out. [23:37] dr_willis, where do I find those? [23:37] gentoo.org I think :) i alwyas just google for 'gentoo whatevermouse wiki' [23:40] Thx for the info DrW, ciao! [23:40] dr_willis, they have an "advanced mouse howto" Thanks. [23:40] Let's see if this does the trick. [23:40] How do I check my version of xorg? [23:40] for all your advanced mouseing needs. [23:41] X -version [23:41] for the version of X. :) normally a program would use --version also. [23:41] But gotta love people following their own standards. heh. [23:44] How do I check to see if evdev is either built into the kernel or loaded as a module? [23:44] lsmod | grep evdev [23:44] evdev 11136 6 [23:44] I would guess thats a module. [23:45] Not sure if they show up in lsmod if they are in the kernel. [23:45] /lib/modules/2.6.22-12-386/kernel/drivers/input/evdev.ko === styx is now known as styx_ [23:45] Dr_willis:, scrubb2000: also 'modinfo ' might be interesting for that [23:46] sanne, yup. It's there. [23:46] description: Input driver event char devices [23:46] :) [23:46] isent that Special.. :) [23:47] I havn't been able to get evdev to work on amd64 here.. I am not sure if it does work on AMD 64.. [23:47] Its working on my amd64 machines... im NOT using the 64bit disrto. [23:47] I could get it work on 32bit systems.. [23:48] at least it's loaded here on Kubuntu Dapper 64bit [23:48] I wonder why X didn't use evdev instead of mouse as the driver. Oh well. [23:50] !evdev [23:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about evdev - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:50] stdin: ping === pemphigus is now known as posingaspopular [23:51] wowsers.
