| ubotu | abyssion: Compiz-Fusion (and the older Compiz and Beryl) are window managers that employ the "composite" extension of X to draw windows using graphics cards' 3D hardware. They can additionally provide "desktop special effects" (such as the "cube") by means of plug-ins. Join #compiz-fusion for help and support with advanced features. See also « /msg ubotu compiz » and « /msg ubotu effects » | 00:00 |

| abyssion | compiz ? | 00:01 |
| WaltzingAlong | abyssion: the cube is one of the effects possible through compiz-fusion. you would need to 1) get 3d accelerated drivers for your video card working, 2) get compiz-fusion working, and 3) configure the cube effect | 00:02 |
| joseph_ | is there a compiz channel? | 00:02 |
| WaltzingAlong | joseph_: yes see ^^ | 00:02 |
| joseph_ | lol | 00:02 |
| WaltzingAlong | #compiz-fusion | 00:02 |
| joseph_ | well ok i have a question then | 00:02 |
| alexbobp | I just got a usb headset. I can get Audacity to use it with OSS. How can I make ALSA use it? I just need to change the device from /dev/dsp to /dev/dsp1 | 00:02 |
| joseph_ | i have my cube set up but i want a cool environment for the cube, the area outside the cube | 00:03 |
| joseph_ | how can i do this? | 00:03 |
| WaltzingAlong | joseph_: /join #compiz-fusion | 00:03 |
| * Dr_willis will be glad whenpeople get sick of that silly cube | 00:04 | |
| alexbobp | but it so pretty! | 00:04 |
| Dr_willis | Of course NEXT will be the 'fish tank' cube | 00:04 |
| Dr_willis | check the compiz-fusion homapage for all your Cubby Needs! | 00:04 |
| WaltzingAlong | agreed: for more, ask in #compiz-fusion & see http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/ | 00:05 |
| Dr_willis | Well Crysis is installed.. and first thign! bam - it wants a windows update. :) which will want a reboot... | 00:05 |
| ardchoille | Dr_willis: :) | 00:05 |
| alexbobp | I retract my question. Turns out I just had to restart the sound server and the programs that were using it. | 00:06 |
| Dr_willis | ardchoille, and http://www.ea.com/crysis/home.jsp web site - wants my birthday since the site has 'mature content' - Yea right. | 00:06 |
| Dr_willis | I bet i am the only 103 yr old gamer on that site! :0 | 00:06 |
| ardchoille | lol | 00:07 |
| Dr_willis | and of course the 'patch' i need.. requires i download some windows validation activex controll.. and go through 4 other popups.. | 00:08 |
| Dr_willis | gesh | 00:08 |
| Dr_willis | Perhaps i will get to play the game some time Today... | 00:08 |
| ardchoille | Dr_willis: I like the "move with the mouse" navigation | 00:08 |
| WaltzingAlong | Dr_willis: apparently you paid for it already, not really important that you actually play it ... | 00:09 |
| Dr_willis | yep.. | 00:09 |
| Dr_willis | Now i gotta reboot. | 00:09 |
| Dr_willis | Oh wait.. the 120gb hd i got is still formating... | 00:09 |
| Dr_willis | ben doing that since befor i logged in here. so thats been what? an hr+ :) | 00:10 |
| WaltzingAlong | not a fast format? :( | 00:10 |
| Dr_willis | i wanted to be doubly sure it checked out. :) | 00:10 |
| WaltzingAlong | :D | 00:10 |
| JackWinter | hiya, where do i find a driver fo a pixma ip4200 printer? or is the ip4000 driver good ? | 00:10 |
| Dr_willis | the hd sort of died on me last night. So now its going to be a 'windows games drive' | 00:10 |
| Dr_willis | JackWinter, check cups.org for that printer. | 00:11 |
| Dr_willis | I know that SOME canon pixma printers have no linux support at all. | 00:11 |
| Dr_willis | cups.org will tell you if the 4000 driver will work | 00:11 |
| JackWinter | thanks dr_willis! | 00:11 |
| Roey | hi | 00:12 |
| Roey | I try to load an .ogg in Amarok but get this message: "Error Loading Media | 00:12 |
| Roey | There is no available decoder. | 00:12 |
| Roey | file:///arch/music/israeli/Kaveret/Kavaret Ba Park - Disc 1/Track 02.ogg" What the heck is this about? | 00:12 |
| WaltzingAlong | Roey: in konsole run file "/arch/music/israeli/Kaveret/Kavaret Ba Park - Disc 1/Track 02.ogg" what are the results? | 00:14 |
| Roey | good point | 00:15 |
| Roey | one sec | 00:15 |
| Roey | /arch/music/israeli/Kaveret/Kavaret Ba Park - Disc 1/Track 02.ogg: Ogg data, Vorbis audio, stereo, 44100 Hz, ~256000 bps, created by: Xiphophorus libVorbis I (1.0 RC2) | 00:16 |
| Roey | seems kosher | 00:16 |
| Roey | (pardon the pun) | 00:16 |
| WaltzingAlong | :D | 00:16 |
| WaltzingAlong | ok having anything else that can play it? ogg123 for example in konsole | 00:17 |
| Roey | ok one sec. | 00:17 |
| WaltzingAlong | Roey: by the way i have not seen amarok fail with a ogg vorbis | 00:18 |
| WaltzingAlong | an* | 00:18 |
| Roey | hrm | 00:18 |
| Roey | it seems to show that it is processing the data but it's trying to use OSS | 00:18 |
| Roey | and I want it to use ALSA. | 00:18 |
| WaltzingAlong | Roey: so you can specify: amarok / settings / configure amarok / engine / xine engine - output plugin alsa | 00:20 |
| Roey | it's already set up that way. | 00:20 |
| Roey | with Amarok, it just throws up this error message. | 00:20 |
| Roey | when I try and play the file. | 00:20 |
| WaltzingAlong | Roey: perhaps check in #amarok has it always done this, just started? | 00:21 |
| elliott | Kubuntu has locked up 4 times in the last week at seemingly random times... It happened a few minutes ago, and as i was here typing up a qiestion about it, it happened again. no error messages, no common task being done, etc. any idea what's going wrong? | 00:22 |
| elliott | dmesg | 00:22 |
| Roey | WaltzingAlong: not sure. | 00:22 |
| Roey | Amarok is great but sometimes it can act like a pos | 00:23 |
| Arv3n | amarok is a pos | 00:23 |
| Roey | I checked in #amarok, only one person is active there | 00:23 |
| Arv3n | just kidding. ;) | 00:23 |
| Roey | Konqueror too | 00:23 |
| Roey | egven more so than amarok | 00:23 |
| WaltzingAlong | elliott: bad ram | 00:23 |
| Arv3n | band of brothers = win | 00:23 |
| elliott | WaltzingAlong It never happens in windows though. | 00:25 |
| WaltzingAlong | elliott: ok so just x is freezing or everything? could be buggy module (driver) | 00:26 |
| elliott | WaltzingAlong how can I tell? | 00:27 |
| WaltzingAlong | elliott: well let your computer run the memtest86 one night. otherwise, experiment with different scenarios to eliminate some possible culprits; like start without X or switch to the vesa or open source video drivers; overheating? | 00:28 |
| navets | what is the difference between kubuntu DVD and kubuntu live cd? | 00:29 |
| === _Angelus_ is now known as Ange|us | ||
| === cloud__ is now known as ChaosMachine | ||
| WaltzingAlong | dvd contains more packages / languages and can be run live (and then installed) or installed right away (without running live); | 00:33 |

| rattts | hey can linux get viruses | 00:34 |
| Roey | rattts: different secirty model | 00:34 |
| WaltzingAlong | !viruses | 00:34 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about viruses - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 00:34 |
| excitatory | does anyone know if taskbar-compiz works on gutsy? and if so, does anyone know of a repo or deb? | 00:35 |
| rattts | yesterday, my wireless gateway told me i might have a blaster virus...then today my ubuntu cRASHED and acting a little wierd | 00:35 |
| WaltzingAlong | rattts: technically possible | 00:35 |
| rattts | or can it just be compiz that may have caused all this? | 00:35 |
| WaltzingAlong | compiz! | 00:36 |
| alexbobp | Just out of curiosity, does anybody here have positive opinions on the replacement of konq with dolphin as the default file manager? | 00:36 |
| WaltzingAlong | it was not installed as standard in kubuntu gutsy for a reason ;) | 00:36 |
| WaltzingAlong | rattts: but i doubt you will ever see a virus/worm on your gnu/linux based kubuntu install | 00:36 |
| WaltzingAlong | alexbobp: could be that those of us here are more technical or have been using kde for a bit longer, since before dolphin | 00:37 |
| rattts | my comp crashed when i was installing(sudo apt-get install kde-desktop) what should i do? | 00:37 |
| ardchoille | rattts: kde-desktop isn't in the repos, try: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 00:38 |
| WaltzingAlong | rattts: retry sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop | 00:38 |
| alexbobp | WaltzingAlong: I just have yet to see anything redeeming about dolphin. Every difference between the two seems to make konqueror look better. | 00:38 |
| X314 | hey.. just a question.. is gutsy suposed to totaly lock in "wrong password" or whatever it says mode if you type in your password wron once on the login screen? | 00:38 |
| rattts | ok hold on. im speaing of junk files here. there may be junk files on my comp since it was downloading the files when it crashed | 00:38 |
| rattts | can i do a purge on kubuntu-desktop | 00:39 |
| WaltzingAlong | alexbobp: i have yet to give dolphin a chance myself but i could see how it may be easier for new users of kubuntu | 00:39 |
| WaltzingAlong | rattts: sure sudo aptitude purge kubuntu-desktop | 00:39 |
| rattts | is aptitude same as sudo apt? | 00:39 |
| alexbobp | WaltzingAlong: do you know how to configure the "system menu" locations to open in konqueror? | 00:39 |
| WaltzingAlong | no | 00:40 |
| WaltzingAlong | alexbobp: check in #kde ? | 00:40 |
| Arv3n | i think dolphin just looks betetr. =P | 00:40 |
| WaltzingAlong | !aptitude | rattts | 00:40 |
| ardchoille | rattts: If you used apt-get to install: sudo apt-get remove --purge package | 00:40 |
| ubotu | rattts: 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 | 00:40 |
| alexbobp | will do | 00:40 |
| excitatory | alexbobp: i actually really like dolphin, however i refuse to use it until it has 'tree view'.. i just cannot function without it... | 00:41 |
| ardchoille | I am told that dolphin has a tree view. But I refuse to use it until it has a tabbed ui | 00:43 |
| Arv3n | am i the only one that hates konqueror? o_o | 00:43 |
| Arv3n | love kde, hate konqueror. | 00:43 |
| excitatory | ardchoille: yes, tabs are key as well.. that was the other thing i forgot | 00:43 |
| Arv3n | imo, file manager is fine. | 00:44 |
| excitatory | konq is a horrible web browser, but really works well as a file manager for my purposes. | 00:44 |
| Arv3n | but the file manager and browser really should be separate. | 00:44 |
| Arv3n | and hte browser version is horrible. | 00:44 |
| Arv3n | yeah. | 00:44 |
| Arv3n | kde 4 is sexy. | 00:44 |
| Arv3n | im gonna be one of the early adopters. =P | 00:44 |
| alexbobp | excitatory: My main gripes with dolphin are that it can't have tabs and that it doesn't have a disk space analyzer | 00:44 |
| WaltzingAlong | actually i find myself using konqueror more and more for web browsing (had already been using it as file manager - when i manage files through a gui) | 00:45 |
| alexbobp | Arv3n: why should a file manager and browser be separate, and what's wrong with konqueror's browser? | 00:45 |
| Arv3n | konqueror supports nothing | 00:45 |
| excitatory | WaltzingAlong: but it renders everything funny.. | 00:45 |
| Arv3n | alexbobp, just imo, its what im used to. | 00:45 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Azzco | ||
| alexbobp | konqueror isn't just file manager+browser, it does all sorts of things. It has embedded plugins for everything from videos to text editing. | 00:45 |
| cuco | boy, kde4 stinks | 00:46 |
| Arv3n | im downloading the daily vm | 00:46 |
| cuco | i tested on real machine, and the new style is practically unusable. | 00:46 |
| ardchoille | alexbobp: konqueror is a shell for many things | 00:46 |
| cuco | i rolled back to plastik | 00:46 |
| Arv3n | this is exactly how i thought people would think kde4 would be like. | 00:47 |
| Arv3n | some people would like, some would hate. | 00:47 |
| Arv3n | kind of like oblivion and halo 2, lol. | 00:47 |
| cuco | no dud, it has a lot of problems, | 00:47 |
| ardchoille | Wait until it's finished, then it should be much better | 00:47 |
| Arv3n | thats an opinion. | 00:47 |
| ardchoille | cuco: it's an rc1, it's going to have problems | 00:47 |
| Arv3n | +, it can only get better from here. | 00:47 |
| cuco | for example there is no contrast in the theme, there is no clear definition of the current widget/window | 00:47 |
| Arv3n | exactly ard, | 00:48 |
| Arv3n | they arent even done doing plasma yet. | 00:48 |
| cuco | the sound theme is just anoying | 00:48 |
| Arv3n | 4.0 is more of an "ok herse what weve done, now its time to bug fix" type of thing | 00:48 |
| Arv3n | 4.0 = core technologies working | 00:48 |
| Arv3n | 4.1 = polish | 00:48 |
| WaltzingAlong | the lack of ability to have a contrast is far worse than a current theme not making use of proper contrast | 00:48 |
| cuco | dud, i know | 00:48 |
| Arv3n | it really is nice. | 00:49 |
| Arv3n | just give it time. | 00:49 |
| Arv3n | and if you dont like it, stick with kde 3.5 | 00:49 |
| Arv3n | or gnome (LOL) | 00:49 |
| ardchoille | Well, dolphin and system settings are the first two things I'm going to rip out | 00:49 |
| WaltzingAlong | xfce | 00:49 |
| Arv3n | xfce is damn good. | 00:49 |
| ardchoille | xfce is quite nice | 00:50 |
| Arv3n | you'd be surprised. | 00:50 |
| Arv3n | it just feels like its missing something, though. not sure what. | 00:50 |
| WaltzingAlong | i typically switch xfce to kde and so on | 00:50 |
| Arv3n | well. | 00:50 |
| Arv3n | xfce = has built in transparency and composite manager, right? | 00:50 |
| WaltzingAlong | yes | 00:50 |
| cobalt | I heard that there was an app called ek something that could be added to Gutsy Gibson to send faxes could someone help me find it if there is such a thing ? | 00:50 |
| Arv3n | +1 for xfce, lol. | 00:50 |
| WaltzingAlong | kde3.5 does transparency too | 00:51 |
| Arv3n | its not really very developed though is it? | 00:51 |
| ardchoille | Arv3n: kde 3.5.7 has a built-in composite manager. I use it for drop shadows, transparency, effects, etc. | 00:51 |
| Arv3n | people say kde looks really nice, imo its really ugly. | 00:51 |
| Arv3n | unless you customize it a LOT. | 00:51 |
| Arv3n | but then when you customize it, damn its sexy. | 00:52 |
| excitatory | Arv3n: yea, i find i have to shrink the fonts, install a new iconset, change colors, shrink and move panels, change default konq views/sizes, and arrange a few other things just to feel at home.. but when i do, you're right, it's sexy. | 00:54 |
| ardchoille | excitatory: You can do all of that in seconds with a master bash script/ | 00:54 |
| WaltzingAlong | curses to those developers who knew not enough to pick the settings you would like? | 00:54 |
| === litbang is now known as riefzu | ||
| ardchoille | excitatory: When I do a new install, I run a master bash script that does all the app install and tweaking, while I have lunch. When I come back, the system is ready for me. | 00:55 |
| Arv3n | lol, nice. | 00:55 |
| excitatory | nice | 00:55 |
| ardchoille | This is why a fresh install only requires me to be in front of the computer for about 10 minutes. | 00:56 |
| excitatory | i sort of do that too.. i have a file that has about 6 or so nice one liners that i run.. nothing that configures any kde config files, but symlink and app install stuff.. (i'm still refining this said 'master script') | 00:56 |
| ardchoille | :) | 00:57 |
| ardchoille | Of course, you can lessen that time even more by putting $HOME on it's own partition | 00:59 |
| Arv3n | d/c. | 00:59 |
| Arv3n | or something. o_O | 00:59 |

| bobito_ | Hey ya'll. I'm on a new kubuntu box, and I'm having difficulty connecting to the internet (normally). Normally, I have a winXP box set to bridge the network connection from its wireless to lan. However, when I plug my kubuntu box into the XP box, it can't find any internet, and to be honest, I don't know enough linux to know where to go from there | 01:11 |
| bobito_ | any help? | 01:11 |
| cam_ | what are u trying to do? | 01:12 |
| bobito_ | connect to the internet, on a gutsy machine | 01:12 |
| bobito_ | connect my cat5 into an xp box, while that xp box routs internet from its wireless | 01:12 |
| bobito_ | I have the xp box set up right, dunno how todo the linux part | 01:12 |
| cam_ | the xp is gettin internet from the wireless? | 01:13 |
| bobito_ | XP should be fine | 01:13 |
| cam_ | and u wana route it through to the linux box? | 01:13 |
| bobito_ | yup | 01:13 |
| bobito_ | already took care of the XP box (i do believe), but when I plug in the linux box to the xp, nothing detects | 01:14 |
| bobito_ | am i missing a step? | 01:14 |
| cam_ | u did the internet connection sharing on XP? | 01:14 |
| bobito_ | yup | 01:15 |
| bobito_ | well, network bridge, but about the same thing | 01:15 |
| cam_ | configure the interface manually on the linux box and put the IP address of the xp box where it says gateway | 01:17 |
| bobito_ | how do I do that? | 01:17 |
| tekstacy | Is there a single package with all the popular restricted codecs? I'm about to do a fresh install. | 01:17 |
| WaltzingAlong | tekstacy: kubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:17 |
| tekstacy | Cool, thank you. | 01:18 |
| bobito_ | could you at least point me to what to google for that? | 01:18 |
| cam_ | do u know where the network manager is? | 01:18 |
| tekstacy | :) I have turned another away from the dark side | 01:18 |
| bobito_ | yea, in the systems menu | 01:19 |
| bobito_ | KNetworkManager | 01:19 |

| bobito_ | I should mention | 01:20 |
| syke | my adept (and apt-get) are having trouble updating my kde4 beta 3 install to RC1 | 01:20 |
| bobito_ | the entire reason I have to do all this shizzle | 01:20 |
| bobito_ | is because HP sold me a broken laptop, ie, the wireless card has been fried since day 1 | 01:20 |
| cam_ | type iwconfig in the terminal and see what it says | 01:20 |
| bobito_ | and they won't fix it | 01:20 |
| bobito_ | thats what I always assumed that was about | 01:21 |
| bobito_ | iwconfig gives back | 01:21 |
| syke | I get 4 or 5 errors like this one: | 01:21 |

| bobito_ | I would love to do that though | 01:23 |
| cam_ | then how? | 01:23 |
| WaltzingAlong | !brokenkde4 | syke, pastebin the results of that command | 01:23 |
| ubotu | syke, pastebin the results of that command: If you're trying to install KDE4 RC1 but getting errors about dependencies or files being overwritten, make sure you remove ALL of the KDE4 beta packages first. Try this in a !terminal: « sudo apt-get --purge remove $(dpkg -l | egrep '(KDE 4|KDE PIM 4|-kde4)' |cut -d ' ' -f 3) kdebase-workspace kdebase-runtime » | 01:23 |
| cam_ | well ur trying? | 01:23 |
| bobito_ | cam_:right now I'm right into a switch that goes into a modem | 01:23 |
| WaltzingAlong | syke: otherwise just add the failing packages to the list of those to be removed (the other kde-icons-oxygen ones, for example) | 01:24 |

| tekstacy | I havn't tried squid yet. I have heard of it. Does it really make a big difference | 01:32 |
| bobito | cam_: You still here? Sorry for the pause, believe it or not, kubuntu just crashed on me | 01:32 |
| BluesKaj | !squid | 01:33 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about squid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 01:33 |

| ardchoille | BluesKaj: Shh, You're giving away our age | 01:35 |
| ardchoille | lol | 01:35 |
| bobito | Alright everybody, listen up. I needs myself some help getting kubuntu to recognize that it can infact, get internet from the network bridge I set up on my XP box. It has thus far refused to do so, and my KNetworkManager is of no help since it either just failes to launch, or gets all pissy that my wireless card has been DOA since day 1 | 01:35 |
| bobito | anyone brave enough to help? | 01:35 |
| BluesKaj | ardchoille, you started it ...we must carry on :) | 01:36 |
| ardchoille | hehe | 01:36 |
| BluesKaj | ardchoille, I have the album on vinyl ...believe it or not | 01:37 |
| WaltzingAlong | tekstacy: maybe not a big difference but for frequently visited sites or slower connections... but in either case actually a dns cache may yield better results ("more responsive internet") | 01:37 |
| ardchoille | oh, in that case s/our age/your age/ :P | 01:37 |
| bobito | anybody? pretty please? | 01:37 |

| MyNameIsURL | thank you | 01:43 |
| MyNameIsURL | I should have thought to ask the friendly channel bot | 01:44 |
| tekstacy | MyNameIs, I had one of those cards, under 6.10, it was easier to just get a better card | 01:44 |
| WaltzingAlong | bobito: ok so eth0 is 192.168.0.110 what was not working? ping to router? dns? | 01:44 |
| MyNameIsURL | what's a better card? | 01:44 |
| MyNameIsURL | I have an HP laptop | 01:44 |
| MyNameIsURL | the card can be removed | 01:44 |
| MyNameIsURL | I been thinking about getting an 802.11n capable card anyway | 01:45 |
| WaltzingAlong | MyNameIsURL: i have had success with bcm43xx for broadcoms in a gateway and emachines | 01:45 |
| tekstacy | I have an intel n card, works fine, nothing to set up | 01:45 |
| tekstacy | Just take a look at the hardware compatability list | 01:45 |
| bobito | WaltzingAlong: Right now I'm plugged into a switch, and everything works fine, except of course that I don't have a wireless card. Because I don't have a wireless card, I've set up a network bridge on an XP box that does. When I take the cat5 from my kubuntu box out of the switch, and put it into the XP box, it doesn't detect automatically connect, despite the fact that I'm pretty sure I set the XP up correctly | 01:45 |
| bobito | WaltzingAlong: Your last statement flew completely over my head | 01:46 |
| bobito | WaltzingAlong: I really am too new to linux to know anything more than I just typed, so I'm just looking for someone to point me in the right direction | 01:46 |
| tekteen | Anyone know where kubuntu keeps the kde default settings? | 01:46 |
| MyNameIsURL | tekstacy: what's the model # of your Intel card? Is it a new card, still available? | 01:46 |
| tekstacy | um, if you are connecting JUST two boxes together, you need a different cable | 01:47 |
| WaltzingAlong | bobito: so the xpbox is running ICS ? then when you move the cable run sudo dhclient eth0 in konsole | 01:47 |
| MyNameIsURL | yo need a crossover cable to connect 2 macnines | 01:47 |
| WaltzingAlong | tekstacy: my systems do not need crossover cables :D | 01:47 |
| cobalt | Myname is URL: Ubuntu 7.10 has the drivers built in | 01:47 |
| bobito | WaltzingAlong: The XP box is running a network bridge, not quite the same thing, but similar. Does it matter? what should I be looking for when i run sudo dhclient? I have to disconnect from internet to try it | 01:48 |
| MyNameIsURL | well if the card is configurable to implement the crossover then of course you don't need one | 01:48 |
| tekstacy | hmmm, ok, I was wrong, I don't have n, it's a 3945abg | 01:48 |
| cobalt | MyName: I had that same problem with my hp lappy | 01:48 |
| MyNameIsURL | yeah? | 01:48 |
| WaltzingAlong | bobito: well from where should the kubuntu machine get its eth0 ip? normally a dhcp server but you can set it manually. | 01:49 |
| MyNameIsURL | I guess I'll have to open up the panel and look at the card to get the model # | 01:49 |
| tekstacy | ohh, crap, I got the two of you mixed up. :) I thought you were the one with the problem... | 01:49 |
| mike-kubuntu | WaltzingAlong: thanks! | 01:49 |
| tekteen | Anyone know where kubuntu keeps the kde default settings? | 01:50 |
| cobalt | MyName: no version of Ubuntu before 7.10 would pick it up. I did get it working with the ndiswrapper function using windows drivers but that was a pain in the $%@#$%@. | 01:50 |
| WaltzingAlong | tekteen: for your user? ~/.kde | 01:50 |
| tekteen | no | 01:50 |
| tekteen | kde has to get the contents of .kde from somewhere. | 01:50 |
| tekteen | that is what I need | 01:51 |
| tekstacy | MyNameIsURL, you can go to KInfoCenter and find the model of your card | 01:51 |
| === darkness_ is now known as darkness_s | ||

| tekstacy | er, nevermind | 01:53 |
| * tekteen is scared mom will find out | 01:53 | |
| tekstacy | :) | 01:53 |
| bobito | WaltzingAlong: I just did a quick little bit of research, and apparently, XP doesn't forward dhcp information, so is there a way to simply set my eth0 ip to the static IP of the XP box, the one that should be being passed on to the linux machine anyway? | 01:53 |
| cobalt | tecstacy: do you know a utility that will set up as a printer but send out faxes. I remeber one called EK- something that was located at a repository called Universe or Universal. Im an old goat and my memory is slipping any help would be appreciated. | 01:55 |
| WaltzingAlong | bobito: yes there are simple ways to set the static IP. could do so graphically through kmenu/system settings / network settings / network interfaces or manually editing /etc/network/interfaces | 01:55 |

| tekstacy | cobalt, sorry, never needed to send a fax yet | 01:56 |
| bobito | WaltzingAlong: So simply hitting configure interface in Network settings, and checking manual sets a static ip? | 01:56 |
| WaltzingAlong | bobito: yeah set the interface to manual (not dhcp) | 01:57 |
| bobito | WaltzingAlong: alright, let me try that. Wish me luck | 01:57 |
| cobalt | anybody else ? | 01:57 |
| tekstacy | MyNameIs, under an earlier version, I had to use ndiswrapper to use the windows driver | 01:57 |
| cobalt | teckstacy: It's good to see that someone else shared my nightmare | 01:58 |
| tekstacy | it sucked. Is there a better way now? | 01:59 |
| WaltzingAlong | same here - much easier to set up with ndiswrapper with feisty and very easy now with bcm43xx on gutsy | 01:59 |
| darkness_s | MyNameIsURL: bcm43xx acts weird on my laptop | 01:59 |
| darkness_s | i prefer ndiswrapper | 01:59 |
| cobalt | I will have that driver name in a moment | 02:00 |
| tekstacy | look on ebay and you can pick up an intel card for a few bucks. | 02:00 |
| darkness_s | is it bcmwl5 | 02:00 |

| cobalt | anybody here tried to send a fax from Ubuntu 7.10 ? | 02:07 |
| pacman | I'm trying to set it up so that everytime I download a torrent, it automatically goes into ktorrent | 02:08 |

| darkness_s | cobalt : maybe gfax could help | 02:11 |

| Dr_willis | and i havent messed with it on my laptop. :) | 03:06 |
| Rukus | compiz works, dont get me wrong. just not all the effects and its implied to me if i enadle Direct Rendering, i might boost performance | 03:06 |
| Rukus | enable* | 03:06 |
| WaltzingAlong | installed it. oh that is it? removed it (disabled for now) | 03:06 |

| inaety | resolution | 03:08 |
| WaltzingAlong | inaety: in konsole, xrandr shows what? | 03:08 |
| Rukus | inaety - if its an LCD, you cannot havea higher res than native. from what i understand | 03:08 |
| Rukus | atleast i cant | 03:09 |
| Rukus | :( | 03:09 |
| Dr_willis | Rukus, i belive so also.. ALSO anything higher will look rather nasty i bet. | 03:09 |
| jmichaelx | inaety: if 1650x1080 is the monitor's native resolution, i would think you should not increase it beyond that | 03:09 |
| inaety | Rukus: its an lcd | 03:09 |
| Rukus | stuck at 1280x800 trust me i tried | 03:09 |
| Rukus | native res is high as u can go | 03:09 |
| Rukus | google it | 03:09 |
| Dr_willis | lcd's best at their actual native res. | 03:09 |
| inaety | oh okay | 03:09 |
| Rukus | :) | 03:09 |
| inaety | it still looks nice i just like a lot of screen | 03:09 |
| Dr_willis | you are using a dvi connection? | 03:09 |
| Rukus | i never tried in linux tho | 03:09 |
| Rukus | ... | 03:09 |

| Dr_willis | Azzco, what command are you doing exactly? | 03:11 |
| inaety | thank god for Black Friday :P | 03:11 |
| WaltzingAlong | Azzco: mkdir grub ? mkdir grub/ ? | 03:11 |
| Dr_willis | inaety, yea. the 2nd lcd was a spare i had. | 03:11 |
| Azzco | Dr_willis: "mkdir grub" | 03:12 |
| Dr_willis | Azzco, you need root permissions to make files/dirs in 'system' type places | 03:12 |
| WaltzingAlong | Azzco: have permission to write to the device? | 03:12 |
| Azzco | I've used sudo su | 03:12 |
| WaltzingAlong | mounted as readonly? | 03:12 |
| Dr_willis | sudo -s - is a better habbit then 'sudo su' :) | 03:12 |
| Dr_willis | Azzco, so where are you trying to make this directory at? and why. | 03:13 |
| Azzco | I thoguht I'd make a new boot partition as I'm trying a few different distros right now... | 03:13 |
| Dr_willis | I think some day - the ubuntu/kubunu guys should put a bunch of Bash tutorials on the disks. :) | 03:13 |
| Azzco | It's a clean partition I'm trying to make the dir on | 03:13 |
| Dr_willis | Azzco, ive done that befor.. it can take some work. I normally let one disrto handle grub totally. | 03:14 |

| Dr_willis | Azzco, you did fdisk, then format the partion? thus making a actuual filesystem? | 03:14 |
| Dr_willis | then you mount the filesystem somewhere. | 03:14 |
| Rukus | thank you. | 03:14 |
| Azzco | I used parted and made it ext2 | 03:14 |
| Dr_willis | You did format it? You did mount it? | 03:15 |
| Azzco | Yupp | 03:15 |
| Azzco | There is even a kernel image there I added about 15 minutes ago | 03:15 |
| Dr_willis | you sure theres not a grub directory allready? :) | 03:16 |
| WaltzingAlong | sudo su then cd takes you to a different directory than you may expect as normal user and cd | 03:16 |
| Azzco | Nope... just a symlink to itself and a lost+found | 03:16 |
| Dr_willis | symlink to itself? | 03:17 |
| WaltzingAlong | Azzco: hm | 03:17 |
| Dr_willis | try 'touch test_file' to see if you can create a file on the filesystem | 03:17 |
| WaltzingAlong | cannot make it if it exists | 03:17 |
| Azzco | Okay touch worked... weird | 03:17 |
| Dr_willis | try 'mkdir test_dir' :) | 03:18 |
| Azzco | Nope making dirs doesn't work it seems.. | 03:18 |
| Dr_willis | thats... weird.. | 03:18 |
| Azzco | Was just thinking the same.. | 03:18 |
| Dr_willis | i would check how its mounted. | 03:18 |
| Dr_willis | ls -l , to see who owns the files also., and dirs that are there. | 03:19 |
| dannybuntu | can anyone help me? | 03:19 |
| Dr_willis | I cant think of a way to disable making of dirs.. :) so cant think of what to look for. | 03:19 |

| chris__ | yeah my wireless works great for everything but netgears for some reason | 03:28 |
| alex__ | someone of Brazil? | 03:28 |
| JmA___ | no .. its encore | 03:29 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. wow - i just found a HUGE example of "game company stupidity' - Dang serial # was using 0 and O's :) and the font w made them almost identical. | 03:29 |
| JmA___ | for some reason my auth doesnt work | 03:29 |
| Dr_willis | bobleny, Just for you. :) i will go play bioshock now for a while. heh | 03:29 |
| WaltzingAlong | Rukus: if you are going to use xserver-xgl (not aiglx) then you could specify aiglx as off in xorg.conf | 03:29 |
| JmA___ | but if i try to connect behind the screen asking me the password again, it works! | 03:30 |
| bobleny | Never heard of it....... | 03:30 |
| chris__ | try changing the router security settings to open or no security and see if oit works then. | 03:30 |
| WaltzingAlong | Rukus: by the way which version of the fglrx module is this? | 03:30 |
| Rukus | waltzing along, i read that xgl runs a little better for my chipset | 03:30 |
| Rukus | how do i find what version? | 03:31 |
| JmA___ | yeah .. alredy tryed... but i got another problem.. my network is fixed ip, so roaming mode doesnt work | 03:31 |
| WaltzingAlong | Rukus: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45653/ here aiglx is disabled | 03:31 |
| chris__ | Your best bet is to do a google search. I found step by steps for everything | 03:31 |
| Rukus | WaltzingAlong: OpenGL version string: 2.0.6473 (8.37.6) | 03:31 |
| Rukus | that? | 03:31 |
| chris__ | good luck | 03:32 |
| JmA___ | so I ve setted every manually, but it doesnt work | 03:32 |
| WaltzingAlong | Rukus: yes. fglrx 8.42.3 can use aiglx (does not require xserver-xgl) but try with the server flag disabling aiglx for now | 03:33 |
| Rukus | ok, so after i add "Option "AIGLX" "off"" i need to ctrl alt bckspce and see what happens correct? | 03:33 |

| ciacon | hi all | 03:55 |
| WaltzingAlong | asdfasdfasdfasdf: get your feet wet :D | 03:55 |
| homercycles | clicking on my existing NTFS partitions in Dophin also says "hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 999" as well :-( | 03:55 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | WaltzingAlong: loooooooooool | 03:55 |
| Rukus | WaltzingAlong: here is the pastebin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45656/ | 03:55 |
| asdfasdfasdfasdf | that says a lot :) | 03:55 |
| WaltzingAlong | homercycles: in konqueror media:/ right mouse click the device, properties, mounting, uncheck mount as user | 03:55 |
| WaltzingAlong | Rukus: even that one is reporting ati as the opengl provider (would be mesa if it were *not* direct as far as i know) | 03:56 |
| ciacon | I have a little q - for some reason I managed to brick Strigi - Status tells me -> "Unique words indexed -1" & "Documents indexed -1" | 03:56 |
| homercycles | WaltzingAlong: thanks, not sure how to get into konq as a file browser off this Kubuntu live CD (seems web browser only). but Dolphin has such an option, too... same error after I unticked user | 03:56 |
| ciacon | can someone give me a hint? | 03:57 |
| Rukus | well, i think i am going to try what that guy did, in your pm you sent me | 03:57 |
| WaltzingAlong | homercycles: open konqueror. in the location/address bar, type media:/ or settings/load view profile / file browsingg | 03:57 |
| Rukus | and see what happens | 03:57 |
| WaltzingAlong | Rukus: wait a moment | 03:57 |
| Rukus | k | 03:57 |
| WaltzingAlong | Rukus: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45657/ added drm to the modules | 03:58 |
| homercycles | WaltzingAlong: thanks. Did that and Konq seems to have remembered that preference after I unticked it in Dolphin. Still same error... Do you think it's possible that the Kubuntu installer has mangled my partitions and subsequently can't mount anything? | 03:58 |
| Rukus | WaltzingAlong: what did you add?? | 03:59 |
| Rukus | line 123? | 03:59 |
| WaltzingAlong | line 123 load drm | 03:59 |
| Rukus | ok | 03:59 |
| WaltzingAlong | homercycles: this hal-storage.. is a common one | 03:59 |
| homercycles | WaltzingAlong: don't suppose there's a common workaround for it? apart from that mount as user option? | 04:00 |
| pacman | so I downloaded totem, and tried to play a video | 04:00 |

| biovore | !restricted-formats | 04:00 |
| Rukus | its a laptop | 04:00 |
| WaltzingAlong | homercycles: not that i know. when you get the system set up that change should be remembered | 04:00 |
| homercycles | WaltzingAlong: I'm hoping to mount those drives and backup the data across the network since 'm worried Kubuntu installer has rendered my partitions unusable | 04:00 |

| WaltzingAlong | Rukus: yes | 04:02 |
| Rukus | ok brb | 04:02 |
| homercycles | WaltzingAlong: the wizard still shows my existing partitions but fdisk can't open /dev/sda (I was hoping to set XP as active and then reboot). | 04:02 |
| ciacon | can someone help me with strigi? | 04:02 |
| WaltzingAlong | homercycles: qtparted should be on there too; could set that partition active from there | 04:03 |
| i_want_kde_4 | WaltzingAlong: i finished donloading qt and it says nico@nico-desktop:~/qt-copy$ make -j2 | 04:03 |

| jmichaelx | if any in here use an rt2500 based wireless card, could you please tell me what you do to make it work well in gutsy? | 04:03 |
| WaltzingAlong | i_want_kde_4: not interested in installing rc1 through the existing kubuntu packages? | 04:04 |
| homercycles | WaltzingAlong: qtparted sayd currently active partition was "No Active on Drive" and is allowing me to set active to /dev/sda1. Thankyou very much. I'll give that a shot | 04:05 |

| WaltzingAlong | Rukus: ok how about the log again just for kicks and by the way does it seem like there is direct rendering eventhough there is the report to the contrary? | 04:06 |

| i_want_kde_4 | yup | 04:11 |
| usamahashimi | I am facing a problem, recently I have installed kubuntu on my pc, when I want to access files on my network which are shared, my system is asking for password, i entered the password but it is not accepting, can anyone help me? | 04:12 |
| WaltzingAlong | i_want_kde_4: maybe you could run a chroot gutsy just for that. i do not think it has been backported to feisty | 04:12 |
| Rukus | i am going to try without it, i think my transperancy worked better before? | 04:12 |
| i_want_kde_4 | ooops :( | 04:12 |
| i_want_kde_4 | chroot gutsy? on konsole? | 04:12 |
| WaltzingAlong | usamahashimi: and the computer sharing the files? windows? samba? had you set a password there? | 04:12 |

| i_want_kde_4 | and :( | 04:13 |
| i_want_kde_4 | xD | 04:13 |
| Rukus | brb | 04:13 |
| usamahashimi | WaltzingAlong: yes, these computers run windows, i installed samba at my system and also set user/password for it | 04:14 |
| WaltzingAlong | i_want_kde_4: well i have found the steps at the techbase site easy to follow | 04:14 |
| i_want_kde_4 | yup the are easy | 04:15 |
| i_want_kde_4 | except for the unknown errors :( | 04:15 |
| WaltzingAlong | usamahashimi: so in konqueror smb://user@192.168.0.100 then it should ask for the password | 04:15 |
| usamahashimi | WaltzingAlong: no, it is not asking for any password, an empty page appears | 04:16 |
| usamahashimi | WaltzingAlong: and an error comes, "timeout server" | 04:17 |
| i_want_kde_4 | well i tried cd # Note: qt-copy lives in $HOME/qt-copy. See $QTDIR in .bashrc | 04:17 |

| Chase | hey. I'm having some major problems with apt-get update and just about anything else that has to do with downloading anything through konsole. Can anyone help? | 04:32 |
| Chase | anyone? | 04:34 |
| maduser | whats the problem? | 04:34 |
| Chase | When I try to use apt-get for anything (automatix for example) I get tons of 404 errors and nothing downloads correctly | 04:35 |
| maduser | let me see | 04:35 |
| maduser | hmmm | 04:36 |
| Chase | are you getting my messages? | 04:37 |
| maduser | ? | 04:37 |
| Chase | or do I have to do them in the main window because I am unregistered | 04:37 |
| maduser | open a query | 04:37 |
| maduser | yeah | 04:37 |
| maduser | register | 04:37 |
| Chase | sorry. I'm new to IRC | 04:38 |
| maduser | yo automatix is not apperaring in adept | 04:38 |
| maduser | so | 04:38 |
| maduser | i don't think that program exists | 04:39 |
| astro76 | !automatix | 04:39 |
| ubotu | automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 04:39 |
| maduser | yeah | 04:40 |
| maduser | thats why | 04:40 |
| Chase | I just installed kubuntu (used ubuntu before) and had similar issues. | 04:40 |
| Chase | downloading wise | 04:40 |
| Chase | not just automatix | 04:40 |
| maduser | are using the program adept? | 04:40 |
| Chase | I need to see if I can get those errors again | 04:40 |
| Chase | yeah | 04:40 |
| maduser | did you install java yet? | 04:41 |
| Chase | no | 04:41 |
| raylu | Chase, if apt is giving you 404 errors | 04:41 |
| Chase | fresh install | 04:41 |
| raylu | it's probably because it's having trouble accessing the pages via HTTP | 04:41 |
| raylu | can you view pages in firefox/konqueror? | 04:41 |
| Chase | yep | 04:41 |
| raylu | o.0 | 04:42 |
| Ahmuck | is there a reason that kubuntu firefox "sudo aptitude install firefox" requires so much krap? | 04:42 |
| raylu | does apt-get update work? | 04:42 |
| Chase | but I'm having another weird occurance. Now that I connected to IRC, things are starting to download correctly | 04:42 |
| raylu | Ahmuck, like what? | 04:42 |
| raylu | Chase, at my university, we have to authorize with the network before we can download anything, so i get similar errors from apt | 04:42 |
| Ahmuck | seriously, like ubuntu, gnome, etc. the list was super duper long, and this is the first package on a default install | 04:42 |
| maduser | try downloadinf sun-java6-jre and sun-java-plugin | 04:42 |
| Chase | ah | 04:43 |
| maduser | try downloadinf sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-plugin | 04:43 |
| Ahmuck | for example "software sources" and "add/remove programs" all from ubuntu | 04:43 |
| raylu | Ahmuck, were those to-be-installed or held back? | 04:43 |
| Ahmuck | to be installed | 04:43 |
| raylu | Ahmuck, for an update or just firefox? | 04:43 |
| Ahmuck | kubuntu needs to really look at package management "depends" that ubuntu is doing | 04:43 |
| Ahmuck | yes, just the install for firefox | 04:43 |
| raylu | it wasn't that long for me | 04:43 |
| raylu | kubuntu and ubuntu use the same package management | 04:44 |
| Ahmuck | yes, and i am beggining to see a problem with it :-( | 04:44 |
| raylu | oh, firefox is gtk, so you'll need a little less on ubuntu I guess | 04:44 |
| raylu | what's the problem? | 04:44 |
| Ahmuck | i don't need all the *buntu stuff, just firefox. it's not really all that hard. | 04:44 |
| raylu | lol | 04:44 |
| raylu | you didn't get all the ubuntu stuff | 04:45 |
| raylu | you do need gtk, though | 04:45 |
| raylu | which in turn requires it's own list of dependencies | 04:45 |
| Ahmuck | but i hate to build something i already have a package for unless the package requires all the other packages in the known universe -- sheesh | 04:45 |
| raylu | huh? | 04:45 |
| raylu | you never need to build anything | 04:45 |
| maduser | you need gtk for a ton of other stuff | 04:45 |
| raylu | especially if you already have the package installed | 04:45 |
| Ahmuck | yes, a "megaton" of other stuff, which, again, i don't understand why. it's firefox | 04:46 |
| === kitten is now known as fyrmedic | ||
| raylu | ... | 04:46 |
| raylu | ok, you're not making sense anymore; who are you talking to and what are you talking about? | 04:46 |
| Ahmuck | well, that and currently some of the "update" packages break the package manager | 04:47 |
| raylu | and what does building have to do with any of this? | 04:47 |
| Ahmuck | anyhow, i need to do some fixing, so i'll stop griping | 04:47 |
| raylu | what update packages? no package has ever broken my manager. | 04:47 |
| Ahmuck | cause i would get a lot less krap if i built it | 04:47 |
| raylu | i've had connection problems while downloading, but that's the closest i've gotten - and apt resumed the download too | 04:47 |
| Ahmuck | or maybe that is urap | 04:47 |
| raylu | no, the packages are pre-built. downloading those is always less work | 04:47 |
| fyrmedic | I have a networking problem. I can connect to the internet but can't ssh to computers on my own network. Any ideas? | 04:47 |
| Ahmuck | E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) | 04:48 |
| Ahmuck | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 04:48 |
| Ahmuck | !lock | 04:48 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lock - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:48 |
| Ahmuck | !aptitude | 04:48 |
| ubotu | 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 | 04:48 |
| Ahmuck | !dpkg | 04:48 |
| ubotu | dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. | 04:48 |
| raylu | Ahmuck, _is_ another process using it? | 04:48 |
| raylu | fyrmedic, how are you confirming that those computers have ssh running? | 04:48 |
| Ahmuck | raylu: i killed the process just now and am dpkg --configure -a | 04:49 |
| Ahmuck | for example, why does firefox need docbook | 04:50 |
| fyrmedic | raylu: I have had no problem connecting to them in the past. I have 2 computers that I should be able to ssh into. I am trying to connect from a laptop that I can only log into via command. | 04:51 |
| raylu | Ahmuck, it doesn't i don't see that in the dependencies | 04:51 |
| raylu | fyrmedic, try sshing to themselves. then, check /etc/sshd_config to make sure that the sshd allows external connections | 04:52 |
| maduser | why would usamahashimi use kopete over Konversation? | 04:53 |
| maduser | usnless he does not have Konversation | 04:53 |
| fyrmedic | raylu: I can't even ping any of the computers on my network from the laptop. But I can ping outside url's and ssh. | 04:54 |
| angel | !er | 04:54 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about er - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:54 |
| raylu | it could be an issue with the laptops; they may be blocking connections via a firewall or similar | 04:54 |
| maduser | can you see thier ips? | 04:54 |
| inaety | whenever i try to run "mysql -u root" it returns that i am denied as root and/or normal users | 04:55 |
| genii | run mysql as user mysql | 04:55 |
| angel | inaety:try mysql -p root | 04:56 |
| inaety | genii: it gives me access denied | 04:56 |
| inaety | angel: it asks me for a password, then denies me | 04:56 |
| genii | su mysql -c mysql | 04:59 |
| genii | password mysql | 04:59 |
| fyrmedic | raylu: It appears that sshd is listening for outside connects. Any other ideas. | 05:00 |
| genii | might need sudo su <etc as before> | 05:00 |
| inaety | genii: it says -c is unknown | 05:00 |
| inaety | option | 05:01 |
| inaety | genii, the sudo su worked | 05:02 |
| vbgunz | anyone know of a way to create a shortcut to a program that will launch the program along with all parameters and options **but** kill it first if in case it is already running? | 05:02 |
| Dr_willis | vbgunz, may have to do a bit-o-shell-scripting for that. | 05:03 |
| vbgunz | I can do this with a script but prefer something else e.g., oneinstance program --options | 05:03 |
| Dr_willis | ive never seen an oneinstance program :) | 05:04 |
| Dr_willis | would be handy however.. so someone proberly made such a thing | 05:04 |
| genii | inaety: mysql cannot be run as any other user other than user named mysql | 05:04 |
| vbgunz | heh, yeah, I am convinced it probably exists a hundred times over, I just don't know of a single one :/ | 05:04 |
| Dr_willis | http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/programming-9/creating-single-instance-linux-application-256693/ | 05:04 |
| Dr_willis | is the first hit that looks good on that vbgunz :) reading it now | 05:05 |
| vbgunz | sweet find | 05:05 |
| * genii sips his beer | 05:05 | |
| inaety | genii, okay so how do i fix this "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)" | 05:05 |
| genii | inaety: Don't login as root. login as user mysql. Default password is ALSO mysql | 05:06 |
| Dr_willis | vbgunz, but its more of a 'how do i make a c program do this' Not a general for any program | 05:06 |
| inaety | genii: so mysql -u mysql? | 05:06 |
| vbgunz | I cannot imagine it being too hard to do. create a simple python script to do it. just curious if it already exists. I like to reinvent squares :) | 05:07 |
| genii | inaety: exactly, yes | 05:07 |
| inaety | genii: "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'mysql'@'localhost' (using password: NO)" | 05:08 |
| genii | use -p switch to make it password-prompt then put mysql ass password | 05:08 |
| genii | *ass | 05:08 |
| * genii sips beer | 05:08 | |
| Dr_willis | vbgunz, aha.. google for 'bash single instance' rather then linux single instance. :) got a lot better hits | 05:08 |
| Dr_willis | http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/25207-single-instance.html | 05:08 |
| genii | Dr_willis: Nice find | 05:09 |
| inaety | genii: mysql -p mysql? | 05:09 |
| inaety | that asks me for a password | 05:09 |
| inaety | so put mysql | 05:09 |
| genii | yes | 05:09 |
| inaety | and it denies me as my user (inaety@localhost) | 05:09 |
| Dr_willis | vbgunz, also http://www.unix.com/shell-programming-scripting/18137-run-processes-sequentially.html | 05:10 |
| genii | mysql -u mysql -p mysql | 05:10 |
| Dr_willis | vbgunz, has a sample script that sort of does it with a lock file | 05:10 |
| inaety | genii: "ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'mysql'@'localhost' (using password: YES)" | 05:10 |
| genii | also sometimes need to use local ip 127.0.0.1 instead of "localhost" | 05:10 |
| vbgunz | very cool am going to look them over. if I have some luck with them I will definitely thank you for your time :) | 05:11 |

| ignoramus | I click on my mail, it tries to load, and then says there;s a script thats not responding... | 05:15 |
| genii | inaety: perhaps try mysql -u mysql -p -h 127.0.0.1 mysql | 05:16 |
| raylu | Ahmuck, those may have been leftover from a previous install | 05:16 |
| ignoramus | my mail never opens, but it reads as "read" after i click on it | 05:16 |

| genii | typos. Bleh | 05:24 |
| maduser | is there spell check in Konversation? | 05:24 |
| genii | not that I'm aware of | 05:25 |
| maduser | like some kind of command | 05:26 |
| Ahmuck | found the problem. aptitude installs firefox/ubifox ... which is an intergration with apt, and requires synaptic which requires docbook, i suspect | 05:26 |
| Ahmuck | however if you aptitude remove firefox, it does not remove synaptic ... which might be a blessing for ubuntu users but is screwed up for kubuntu users, as kubuntu users already has a nice adept to work with | 05:27 |
| maduser | !synaptic | 05:27 |
| Ahmuck | ubuntu needs to seperate firefox from ubifox and let those peeps that want ubifox install ubifox | 05:27 |
| ubotu | synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto | 05:27 |
| Ahmuck | all this intergration bothers me | 05:28 |
| Ahmuck | all i want is an os, and a desktop, i'll pick and choose my apps. i understand the whole koffice, kgroupware thingy, afterall it is kde | 05:28 |
| maduser | what does the k stand for or is it just the K desktop enviroment? | 05:30 |
| Ahmuck | early on kde used to name all thier apps Ksomeapp for the big K | 05:30 |
| Ahmuck | the K stands for KDE | 05:30 |
| LazyStudent | ah yes, recursive acronyms... sometimes they're funny, but I wish I knew why it was K in the first place | 05:30 |
| Ahmuck | ah, yes ... good question, wonder if it is on kde's homepage | 05:30 |
| sdlvx_ | theys hould make a buntu which is just a super basic version of linux with access to the ubuntu repos | 05:30 |
| sdlvx_ | that would be elite | 05:31 |
| LazyStudent | that would be Debian ;) | 05:31 |
| Ahmuck | well, they do sorta. it's called ubuntu server | 05:31 |
| LazyStudent | (kidding) | 05:31 |
| Ahmuck | then you can install kde on top of it or the kubuntu desktop | 05:31 |
| Ahmuck | LazyStudent: actually you are quite right | 05:31 |
| sdlvx_ | i had one and I installed KDE, GNOME, and XFCE | 05:31 |
| maduser | could it mean kernal desktop enviroment? | 05:31 |
| LazyStudent | I doubt it | 05:31 |
| sdlvx_ | i did not know this about ubuntu server, I will have to look at it osmetime | 05:31 |
| sdlvx_ | i think it actually means Kool | 05:31 |
| LazyStudent | oh god | 05:32 |
| LazyStudent | that's bad | 05:32 |
| maduser | the kernal is what kde is built on | 05:32 |
| LazyStudent | they have to cross that out of history | 05:32 |
| LazyStudent | "Kool Desktop Environment" sucks | 05:32 |

| LazyStudent | the release cycle is a bit hectic for me -- everytime I burn a CD, it seems that I barely have a chance to use it before there's a new version | 05:33 |
| LazyStudent | haven't quite yet got it installed on this laptop and it's annoying me | 05:33 |
| maduser | 18 months | 05:33 |
| LazyStudent | I think I've settled on Kubuntu | 05:33 |
| LazyStudent | dunno why they like GNOME better; it's okay but I prefer K as my desktop | 05:33 |
| maduser | i don't think the kool one is raefering to linux | 05:33 |
| Ahmuck | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE | 05:34 |
| sdlvx_ | http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1823/170/1600/kde-note.png | 05:34 |
| LazyStudent | so | 05:35 |
| LazyStudent | this is a 7.04 CD I'm running | 05:35 |
| Ahmuck | His initial Usenet post spurred a lot of interest, and the KDE project was born.[1] The name KDE was intended as a word play on the existing Common Desktop Environment, available for Unix systems. CDE was an X11-based user environment jointly developed by HP, IBM, and Sun, through the X/Open Company, with an interface and productivity tools based on the Motif graphical widget toolkit | 05:35 |

| LazyStudent | is it worth just downloading the 7.10 ISO and installing that from scratch? | 05:35 |
| sdlvx_ | i did the upgrade | 05:35 |
| LazyStudent | ah yes, I remember reading about CDE | 05:35 |
| sdlvx_ | and it blew up and I had to do fix it with dpkg | 05:35 |
| Ahmuck | heh, sometimes i think that 7.04 was a step forward and 7.10 was a step back | 05:36 |
| * genii apt-get installs cde | 05:36 | |
| LazyStudent | lol I've read cautions about upgrading | 05:36 |
| sdlvx_ | when I first upgraded I was pretty upset | 05:36 |
| LazyStudent | what's wrong with Gutsy? | 05:36 |
| sdlvx_ | it uninstalled a lot of stuff I installed on my own | 05:36 |
| maduser | komonon desktop enviroment? | 05:36 |
| LazyStudent | you're kidding? A version of Linux that decides what programs to remove for you? Argh | 05:36 |
| LazyStudent | package managers are good but this is would worries me | 05:36 |
| LazyStudent | what* | 05:36 |
| sdlvx_ | aptitude went nuts =/ | 05:37 |
| maduser | its like windows upgrade | 05:37 |
| sdlvx_ | lol | 05:37 |
| LazyStudent | I'm already annoyed with the seemingly often number of crashes | 05:37 |
| sdlvx_ | it worked and I didn't have to reinstall the OS | 05:37 |
| LazyStudent | for Adept/Apt | 05:37 |
| LazyStudent | locked database | 05:37 |
| sdlvx_ | but it was not as easy as I would like | 05:37 |
| sdlvx_ | adept seems to like to crash my whole X | 05:37 |
| sdlvx_ | right when it's installing packages | 05:37 |
| LazyStudent | lol | 05:37 |
| fscodelaro | hi everyone, i have a quick question, i just did a fresh install of kubuntu gutsy and after installing some gtk applications i kind of lost the qt look of gnome... e.g. kontact looks as if i installed it in gnome, it doesnt have the great kde look... anyone knows about this? i dont know what exact library caused this because i installed many things today | 05:38 |
| sdlvx_ | it's probably my fault for running the ATI 7.11 driver and compiz fusion from GIT | 05:38 |
| LazyStudent | yeah, I've been noticing a lot of random stalling with Ubuntu... which is a shame really | 05:38 |
| LazyStudent | I'm trying to give Linux a chance | 05:38 |
| * genii is reminded of the song "Give Peace a Chance" | 05:38 | |

| sdlvx_ | before I started loading up GIT programs I never really had many problems | 05:39 |
| sdlvx_ | wasn't that john lennon? | 05:39 |
| LazyStudent | ugh, yeah, I need the ATI Radeon drivers for this old 2004 laptop, and the nVidia Geforce 4 ones for my desktop -- if I'm even gonna get around to installing it on that one... I kept trying to, but it freezes half-way. I think I need to do something about the desktop CPU overheating. | 05:39 |
| LazyStudent | lol | 05:39 |
| sdlvx_ | is it overclocked or something? | 05:40 |
| LazyStudent | ah yes, "Imagine no possessions... [I'm rich!]@ | 05:40 |

| LazyStudent | what do you mean, overclocking on Linux? There are SOME games, lol | 05:42 |
| LazyStudent | actually I've been meaning to look at some FOSS games | 05:42 |

| LazyStudent | lemme guess, something based on Quake or UT engines? | 05:43 |
| === Huahua is now known as Shely | ||
| LazyStudent | there must be more 3D engines than that | 05:43 |
| mzanfardino | Ahmuck: not specifically, just more than what comes as default with Kubuntu. I'm checking apt-cache search xfonts- and see 112 fonts to select from, but many are simply foreign language fonts. | 05:43 |
| Ahmuck | try kubuntu-restricted-extras | 05:43 |

| sdlvx_ | WINE + STEAM | 05:45 |
| sdlvx_ | maybe? | 05:45 |
| LazyStudent | lol, because fonts are protected by IP stuff | 05:45 |
| LazyStudent | you can get free fonts, and lots of them | 05:45 |
| LazyStudent | but apparently they're "not quite so good" | 05:45 |
| LazyStudent | pah | 05:45 |
| LazyStudent | I'd just use the Windows ones | 05:46 |
| LazyStudent | never tried though | 05:46 |
| LazyStudent | this default font set doesn't seem too bad | 05:46 |
| LazyStudent | still on the LiveCD | 05:46 |
| LazyStudent | I watched an entire programme about bloody Helvetica the other day. | 05:46 |
| mzanfardino | Ahmuck: I already have the extra's installed. There are also quite a few ttf fonts available from apt-get, but again the bulk of which appear to be specific to individual languages | 05:46 |
| LazyStudent | seriously, an hour about a single font | 05:47 |
| mzanfardino | Ahmuck: I guess I will search google next. | 05:47 |
| LazyStudent | guess what channel it was one? Yup, BBC4 in the UK. I'm happy to pay my annual licence fee for the BBC to devote entire programmes to fonts. Pah. Not really. | 05:47 |
| mzanfardino | LazyStudent: yes, I have heard about the IP issues with fonts... I guess I was hoping there were more FOSS fonts out there. | 05:48 |
| LazyStudent | there's got to be | 05:48 |
| LazyStudent | surely? | 05:48 |
| mzanfardino | LazyStudent: I'm sure there are... and don't call me shirley | 05:48 |
| mzanfardino | :) | 05:48 |
| LazyStudent | lol | 05:48 |
| sdlvx_ | there are sites with a good number of free fonts | 05:48 |
| ardchoille | lol | 05:48 |
| sdlvx_ | i remember because I wanted the death note font | 05:49 |
| sdlvx_ | when the L comes on the screen | 05:49 |
| sdlvx_ | and I looked forever for it | 05:49 |
| sdlvx_ | and everyone wanted me to buy it | 05:49 |
| sdlvx_ | and I found a website that had it for free, but it wasn't a warez site or anything | 05:49 |
| mzanfardino | sdlvx_: you happen to recall the site? | 05:49 |
| sdlvx_ | I don't remember what it was though | 05:49 |
| sdlvx_ | I can look again | 05:49 |
| LazyStudent | can anyone advise me about what best to do with my NTFS partition? I've been reading that ntfs-3g is pretty good, but is it still worth setting aside a small shared FAT32 part? | 05:49 |
| sdlvx_ | I have a 400GB external drive formatted as NTFS and I always use NTFS-3g and I haven't had any problems | 05:50 |
| LazyStudent | I think that idea sounds a bit ugly | 05:50 |
| LazyStudent | the FAT one | 05:50 |
| LazyStudent | ah, good | 05:50 |
| LazyStudent | I might just do that | 05:50 |
| LazyStudent | no Windows crap? | 05:50 |
| sdlvx_ | I had this drive before I got started on linux | 05:50 |
| sdlvx_ | I use XP on my desktop because it's my gaming machine | 05:51 |
| ardchoille | LazyStudent: There are some of us who have never used NTFS. I threw Windows away back in 2001 when I discovered Linux, and I haven't used Windows since. | 05:51 |
| LazyStudent | is it still best to install Windows first these days, anyway? How it "likes to be first" and all that? | 05:51 |
| LazyStudent | lol, I would love to do the same Ardchoille | 05:51 |
| LazyStudent | but I'll probably still require "a bit of Windows" for some time | 05:52 |
| ardchoille | LazyStudent: You can install Windows first, but if you install Linux first, you'll just have to re-do your grub boot loder | 05:52 |
| LazyStudent | would rather not mess around with GRUB just yet, it's a bit messy for me | 05:52 |
| ardchoille | !grub | 05:52 |
| ubotu | grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 05:52 |
| ardchoille | ok | 05:52 |
| LazyStudent | btw how can you make GRUB look better, like the PNG background or whatever it is in OpenSuSE? | 05:52 |
| LazyStudent | I hate the plain text | 05:52 |
| LazyStudent | on a modern computer | 05:52 |
| Evil_` | I <3 apt-get makes things so much easier lol | 05:53 |
| LazyStudent | yeah I like packmans | 05:53 |
| LazyStudent | (I mean package managers not Packman itself) | 05:53 |
| LazyStudent | I'm surprised Ubuntu doesn't "prettify" GRUB by default | 05:54 |
| LazyStudent | like it's splash screens | 05:54 |
| LazyStudent | its* | 05:54 |
| ardchoille | Well, you don't really need to reboot Linux unless you're messing with kernels.. some folks I know haven't rebooted in a year.. so they don't care about the grub screen. | 05:54 |
| LazyStudent | I know, I know | 05:54 |
| ere4si | there is a howto in the forums for adding a pic to the grub screen | 05:55 |
| LazyStudent | but, having said that I am experiencing a lot of serious crashes... Maybe with my next proper installation that won't happen as much | 05:55 |
| LazyStudent | I couldn't even get to the console a couple of times | 05:55 |
| LazyStudent | I wasn't even doing anything intensive | 05:56 |

| LazyStudent | so they've finally included the GPL'd Java stuff? | 05:57 |
| LazyStudent | that's good | 05:57 |
| sdlvx_ | the new version supports AIGLX albeit not the greatest | 05:57 |
| LazyStudent | stupid Sun for waiting so long | 05:57 |

| LazyStudent | much prefer JavaScript lol | 06:02 |
| LazyStudent | ah, C++ | 06:02 |
| LazyStudent | the print << "Hello" | 06:02 |
| LazyStudent | that confuses me | 06:02 |
| Evil_` | ehhh | 06:03 |
| LazyStudent | why do you have to use << just to send a string to a function? | 06:03 |
| LazyStudent | I miss brackets | 06:03 |
| LazyStudent | I mean () | 06:03 |
| biovore | its a stream.. | 06:03 |
| biovore | printf("Hello"); | 06:03 |
| LazyStudent | can't be bothered to type "parentheses" | 06:03 |
| biovore | not stream | 06:03 |
| LazyStudent | I see | 06:03 |
| Evil_` | cout << "Hello" << endl; | 06:03 |
| biovore | C/C++ | 06:03 |
| LazyStudent | haven't learnt much C/C++ yet | 06:03 |
| LazyStudent | lol | 06:03 |
| LazyStudent | gotcha | 06:03 |
| Evil_` | Ya, I haven't really learned much | 06:03 |
| biovore | cout is a iostream class.. << is overloaded for a stream operator in that class | 06:03 |
| LazyStudent | why << and not >> then? | 06:04 |
| LazyStudent | is it a bitwise shift? | 06:04 |
| Evil_` | I don't see anything fun to do with C/++ on linux, on windows I always played around with game hacking :P | 06:04 |
| biovore | << output >> input | 06:04 |
| biovore | the << and >> only matter with iostream class members.. | 06:04 |
| biovore | cout is a class | 06:04 |
| LazyStudent | ok | 06:04 |
| biovore | well a member function | 06:04 |
| LazyStudent | the difference? | 06:04 |
| biovore | the << and >> are overloaded for that class | 06:04 |
| Evil_` | ya, it still has () | 06:05 |
| LazyStudent | I'm still trying to figure out what classes are. But I think the Java tutorial helped somewhat. Now I just have to learn what they mean in C++ | 06:05 |
| biovore | that too.. I don't remember what the function is for that.. | 06:05 |
| Evil_` | Classes are objects | 06:05 |
| Evil_` | C doesn't have classes | 06:06 |
| LazyStudent | why couldn't they just use "object.method" btw? object::method annoyes me a little -- or is it object->method? | 06:06 |
| shinda | hey was wondering anyone here on gutsy using kopete? | 06:06 |
| Evil_` | it has . | 06:06 |
| LazyStudent | ah | 06:06 |
| biovore | :: <-- name space | 06:06 |
| Evil_` | :: is for static functions, I believe | 06:06 |
| Evil_` | and namespaces | 06:06 |
| biovore | . <-- direct access | 06:06 |
| LazyStudent | right | 06:06 |
| biovore | -> <-- inidrect access | 06:06 |
| Evil_` | I <3 -> | 06:06 |
| Evil_` | so awesome looking lol | 06:06 |
| LazyStudent | so there's a separation in C++, where there isn't in Java? | 06:06 |
| biovore | -> is for pointers | 06:06 |
| Evil_` | ya | 06:06 |
| Evil_` | dereferencing(sp?) | 06:06 |
| LazyStudent | why? | 06:06 |
| Evil_` | well | 06:07 |
| Evil_` | ya | 06:07 |
| Evil_` | like | 06:07 |
| Evil_` | Instance* i = new Instance(); | 06:07 |
| Evil_` | i->sayHi(); | 06:07 |
| Evil_` | I think | 06:07 |
| LazyStudent | pointer* syntax, got it | 06:07 |
| stdin | ##c < for C support ##c++ for C++ support | 06:08 |
| LazyStudent | lol that's okay | 06:08 |
| LazyStudent | I won't ramble about C anymore | 06:08 |
| shinda | was wondering if anyone else had problems with kopete when chatting with msn clients and space characters not appearing | 06:08 |
| maduser | C is outdated and soon C++ will be to | 06:09 |
| maduser | new version comming out soon | 06:09 |
| LazyStudent | even C++? | 06:09 |
| biovore | yeah.. digital mars.. D | 06:09 |
| LazyStudent | the kernel developers don't think C is outdated | 06:09 |
| biovore | well C is good for quick and small.. | 06:09 |
| biovore | can't beat it still.. | 06:09 |
| LazyStudent | yup | 06:09 |
| maduser | yeah | 06:09 |
| LazyStudent | but most things on top of the kernel is C++, Java, Python, Qt/GTK... etc | 06:10 |
| shinda | hahaha am I hearing you guys right? C and c++ are out dated | 06:10 |
| LazyStudent | (mixed things there) | 06:10 |
| shinda | Qt is a c++ library | 06:10 |
| LazyStudent | I know | 06:10 |
| LazyStudent | just filling out | 06:10 |
| maduser | new version C++0x | 06:10 |
| stdin | "<stdin> ##c < for C support ##c++ for C++ support" you did see that, right? | 06:10 |
| LazyStudent | you're kidding? | 06:10 |
| shinda | GTK also libaries, pyhton and java well those are understandable | 06:11 |
| maduser | out before 2010 | 06:11 |
| LazyStudent | what kinda name is that? C++ [HexValue]? | 06:11 |
| LazyStudent | (or would that be octal?) | 06:11 |
| maduser | ++ stands for an incramnt above C | 06:11 |
| LazyStudent | I know what ++ means | 06:11 |
| stdin | LazyStudent, maduser: take it to another channel, this is Kubuntu support | 06:11 |
| LazyStudent | but C++0x looks silly | 06:11 |
| Evil_` | lmao @ C += 2, that would be hillarious, last thing I say about it <3 lol | 06:12 |
| LazyStudent | sorry | 06:12 |
| LazyStudent | stdin | 06:12 |
| maduser | lets take this to offtopic | 06:13 |
| LazyStudent | nah | 06:13 |
| Evil_` | I WILL | 06:13 |
| LazyStudent | dried it up now | 06:13 |
| LazyStudent | lol | 06:13 |
| LazyStudent | I "lol" too much | 06:13 |
| Evil_` | everyone does | 06:13 |
| ardchoille | lol | 06:13 |
| LazyStudent | so how's Debian these days? Is it as "polished", or still not for the average desktop? I can see why Ubuntu picked up the baton | 06:14 |
| maduser | what does that stand for lots of laughs? | 06:14 |
| ardchoille | maduser: Yes | 06:14 |
| LazyStudent | "lonely obsessive laughing" | 06:14 |
| stdin | hmm, still off topic | 06:15 |
| maduser | ha | 06:15 |
| mzanfardino | what about ttf-xfree86 fonts? since we are using X and not xfree86, I correct in assuming that installing these packages won't add any usable fonts? | 06:15 |
| LazyStudent | don't kick us please | 06:15 |
| stdin | then stay on topic :) | 06:15 |
| LazyStudent | hah, I best go then | 06:15 |
| maduser | but no ones asking questions | 06:15 |
| LazyStudent | although, I have one "RTFM" question | 06:15 |
| maduser | ok | 06:15 |
| * mzanfardino asking question | 06:16 | |
| LazyStudent | I was a bit surprised when, after my USB 54g adapter worked perfectly first time in Kubuntu (better than Windows XP, which wouldn't even let me install the drivers from the bloody disc because it's being strange lately) | 06:16 |
| LazyStudent | well, my old PCMCIA 11b card wasn't detected at all | 06:17 |
| LazyStudent | wonder if my new 56g one will be | 06:17 |
| LazyStudent | bloody AddonTech | 06:17 |
| LazyStudent | got it 'cos it was only #14 at Maplins (argh dunno where the GBP symbol has gone, cbb to change kb settings) | 06:18 |
| LazyStudent | hmph | 06:18 |
| LazyStudent | looks like I have to actually have to install something for this one too | 06:18 |
| LazyStudent | :( | 06:18 |
| ardchoille | !enter | LazyStudent | 06:18 |
| ubotu | LazyStudent: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 06:18 |
| LazyStudent | hopefully it'll work right? | 06:18 |
| Evil_` | Does everyone have access to ubotu? | 06:19 |
| LazyStudent | I was trying to avoid it Ard, but my thought pattern was broken | 06:19 |
| LazyStudent | it's not really that busy in here | 06:19 |
| ere4si | !ping | 06:19 |
| ubotu | pong | 06:19 |
| stdin | Evil_`: everyone can access the factoids and everyone can submit factoids, only editors can add them tho | 06:20 |
| Evil_` | Ah, ok, thanks :) | 06:20 |
| LazyStudent | has anyone in here also bought a cheap Addon-Tech PCMCIA Wireless G card? | 06:20 |
| angel | !ping | 06:20 |
| ubotu | pong | 06:20 |
| LazyStudent | I don't wanna have to go with ndiswrapper | 06:21 |
| maduser | !pong | 06:21 |
| ubotu | pong is an old atari game. It's fun! | 06:21 |
| stdin | !botabuse | 06:21 |
| ubotu | Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (type also /msg ubotu Bot). Don't use commands in the public channels if you don't know if they really exist. Also avoid adding joke/useless factoids. | 06:21 |
| LazyStudent | I was hoping that it would be as easy as the USB wifi was | 06:21 |
| LazyStudent | anyone? | 06:22 |
| maduser | hmmm | 06:22 |
| LazyStudent | it seems that PC cards aren't autodetected like USB | 06:23 |
| maduser | ndiswrapper may be your only choice for good wifi | 06:23 |
| LazyStudent | lol | 06:23 |
| LazyStudent | I might just use the USB stick in that case, and take the card back | 06:24 |
| LazyStudent | then again I can't do that either, because the downstairs computer needs it | 06:24 |
| LazyStudent | got a spare Netgear USB one but it's broken, unresponsive | 06:24 |
| maduser | sell it on ebay:) | 06:24 |
| ardchoille | !ot | 06:25 |
| ubotu | #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! | 06:25 |
| LazyStudent | I was amazed when it picked up the USB wifi adapter | 06:25 |
| LazyStudent | and worked with WPA2 straightaway | 06:25 |
| LazyStudent | had to install an upgrade on a few people's WinXP laptops, just to deal with WPA2 | 06:25 |
| maduser | ah | 06:25 |
| LazyStudent | nah I have a 14 day return period | 06:25 |
| LazyStudent | half-way through that | 06:25 |
| maduser | get it back soon | 06:26 |
| LazyStudent | yup | 06:26 |
| LazyStudent | if Maplin will take it, which they should do | 06:26 |
| LazyStudent | read the small print | 06:26 |
| LazyStudent | doesn't exclude wireless network stuff | 06:26 |
| maduser | fine print g2 read it | 06:26 |
| LazyStudent | only "disco equipment and software" | 06:26 |
| LazyStudent | etc | 06:26 |
| LazyStudent | made me laugh | 06:26 |
| maduser | disco eqipment | 06:26 |
| maduser | disco is dead | 06:26 |
| LazyStudent | there must be a few people going to Maplins just to buy lights and things | 06:27 |
| LazyStudent | for a weekend | 06:27 |
| LazyStudent | then returning them after a gig | 06:27 |
| maduser | old people | 06:27 |
| ardchoille | Please take the off-topic chatter to another channel. | 06:27 |
| LazyStudent | I am sorry | 06:27 |
| LazyStudent | yet again | 06:27 |
| angel | lazyStuden | 06:27 |
| LazyStudent | anyway | 06:27 |
| LazyStudent | I shall look online for Linux drivers | 06:27 |
| LazyStudent | and leave you in peace | 06:27 |
| maduser | lets go to offtopic | 06:27 |
| angel | lazyStudent Ya callateeeeeeee | 06:27 |
| LazyStudent | sounds like a chatup line maduser :P | 06:28 |
| LazyStudent | I can't talk back to you maduser, I'm unregistered and it's blocking me | 06:28 |
| Trek | greetings | 06:28 |
| maduser | register | 06:28 |
| LazyStudent | not yet | 06:28 |
| LazyStudent | bye for now | 06:28 |
| LazyStudent | 6:29am in the UK, might go to bed... | 06:29 |
| maduser | see ya | 06:29 |
| ardchoille | LazyStudent , maduser You two could always join #maduser or #LazyStudent | 06:29 |
| maduser | 1:28 here | 06:29 |
| LazyStudent | I thought of that | 06:29 |
| Evil_` | How do you install a .rpm file? | 06:29 |
| LazyStudent | bye quiet chan | 06:29 |
| stdin | !rpm | Evil_` | 06:29 |
| ubotu | Evil_`: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 06:29 |
| ardchoille | Evil_`: You don't | 06:29 |
| Evil_` | I see | 06:30 |
| ardchoille | Evil_`: Look for a .deb package that was made for Ubuntu | 06:30 |
| LazyStudent | I was gonna suggest Alien -- just how "dangerous" is it? | 06:30 |
| ardchoille | dangerous enough that we shouldn't use it | 06:30 |
| Evil_` | when I tried to apt-get alien, it said to put in the Kubuntu disc, will the livecd suffice? | 06:30 |
| LazyStudent | (never used it) | 06:30 |
| LazyStudent | you need to update your sources | 06:31 |
| ardchoille | Evil_`: You realise using alien is dangerous, right? | 06:31 |
| stdin | Evil_`: should, you could also just remove the cd line from your sources with adept | 06:31 |
| Evil_` | ah | 06:31 |
| Evil_` | What makes it dangerous? | 06:31 |
| Trek | is there a way to download a package on a another computer not running linux | 06:31 |
| LazyStudent | well, I presume you could just download the .deb file on whatever computer you wanted | 06:31 |
| LazyStudent | I think you mean cross-platform package managers though? | 06:32 |
| LazyStudent | Java ones for instance? Or Gtk/Qt ones? | 06:32 |
| LazyStudent | anyone? | 06:32 |
| ardchoille | Trek: You could do that provided you grab the deps too | 06:32 |
| stdin | "apt-get --print-uris install <package>" will print all the package you need to download | 06:33 |
| ere4si | finding the dependencies will be hard | 06:33 |
| LazyStudent | but they won't work on Windows or whatever anyway, unless they're compiled for Cygwin or whatever | 06:33 |
| Trek | I trying to get kubuntu-desktop package, but my ubuntu box doesn't have a internet connection, it doesn't even have a modem | 06:33 |
| LazyStudent | ah | 06:33 |
| ardchoille | ere4si: apt-cache show package will show you the deps | 06:33 |
| ere4si | there you go then :) | 06:34 |
| stdin | ardchoille: but not the dependencies of the dependencies | 06:34 |
| ardchoille | stdin: Very good point | 06:34 |
| LazyStudent | so you just download everything separately, and then move it onto the target PC? | 06:34 |
| ardchoille | Trek: And that meta package will have a ton of deps | 06:34 |
| stdin | "apt-get --print-uris install <package>" will | 06:34 |
| LazyStudent | double dependencies now?? | 06:34 |
| ardchoille | LazyStudent: Each dep can have deps of its own, and each of those deps too, and so on | 06:35 |
| LazyStudent | thought so | 06:35 |
| LazyStudent | I'm grateful for package managers and the huge repos | 06:35 |
| LazyStudent | otherwise it'll be too much to handle | 06:35 |
| LazyStudent | it'd* | 06:35 |
| stdin | like RPM based distros :p | 06:35 |
| LazyStudent | heh, read about "RPM Hell" to | 06:35 |
| LazyStudent | too* | 06:36 |
| LazyStudent | gotta be better than DLL hell though? | 06:36 |
| LazyStudent | or is it worse...? | 06:36 |
| Trek | sounds like it would be easier to convince my dad to finally get broadband | 06:36 |
| stdin | well, if you have a dll you know it's made for windows, you don't know what specific distro an rpm was made for | 06:36 |
| ardchoille | Trek: Indeed | 06:37 |
| LazyStudent | how would you upload the files to the PC anyway? | 06:37 |
| stdin | cd/dvd/usb | 06:37 |
| ardchoille | Trek: Or transport the box to an internet connection, do what you need, then take it back home | 06:37 |
| LazyStudent | on a USB flash drive or external HDD? | 06:37 |
| LazyStudent | thought so | 06:37 |
| LazyStudent | no I mean, if the box has Ethernet | 06:37 |
| LazyStudent | could network them | 06:37 |
| stdin | I'd assume if they had another PC with internet they'd just get a router... | 06:38 |
| LazyStudent | but if it doesn't have a modem it probably won't have ethernet right? | 06:38 |
| Trek | can you download paackages and save them to a USB Drive, maybe I can use a liveCD and do it that way | 06:38 |
| ubuntu__ | I have a question about Kubuntu 7.10 | 06:38 |
| LazyStudent | mm, I like routers... Might get rid of OpenWRT on my Linksys though, unexplained signal loss. | 06:39 |
| twylight | a channels importance is based on the number of members, the activity, number of IRCops and most importantly, can be determined my the number of http links in the topic | 06:39 |
| ubuntu__ | I install it and when I try to install programs or do updates I get a commit error/break packages. | 06:39 |
| ubuntu__ | How do I fix that? | 06:39 |
| ere4si | Trek: you can get a network card for $20... | 06:39 |
| === ubuntu__ is now known as Banister | ||
| === Banister is now known as BanisterKelly | ||
| LazyStudent | yeah, or a USB to Ethernet converter | 06:40 |
| Trek | the box has a NIC | 06:40 |
| LazyStudent | that's good | 06:40 |
| LazyStudent | just connect it then | 06:40 |
| Trek | it's just a pain to transport the box | 06:40 |
| LazyStudent | if both comps have them | 06:40 |
| BanisterKelly | Also when I did updates it said there was a version update nd I installed from a 7.10 CD. | 06:40 |
| LazyStudent | ah, how far away are they? | 06:40 |
| BanisterKelly | Can anyone help, please? | 06:40 |
| Trek | I only have dial-up internet | 06:41 |
| LazyStudent | might take a while to download it even if it was connected to the modem | 06:41 |
| Trek | how large is the kubuntu-desktop package | 06:42 |
| stdin | Trek: big | 06:42 |
| angel | trek: 400 mb +- | 06:42 |
| Trek | carp | 06:42 |
| ardchoille | Trek: Open a terminal and type this: apt-cache show kubuntu-desktop | 06:42 |
| Trek | i mean crap | 06:42 |
| twylight | parc | 06:42 |
| ardchoille | Trek: Look at the "Depends" | 06:42 |
| LazyStudent | lol | 06:43 |
| twylight | 2'99 a pack | 06:43 |
| LazyStudent | Adept says that kubuntu-desktop is 44K installed | 06:43 |
| stdin | a lot of those are in ubuntu-desktop too, it's the dependencies of those dependencies and their dependencies | 06:43 |
| twylight | they're really cheap now | 06:43 |
| LazyStudent | mustn't be counting deps then... | 06:43 |
| twylight | too many incontinents | 06:43 |
| BanisterKelly | What is meant about breaking packages? | 06:43 |
| Evil_` | Anyone know why when I start my computer, it says it can't allocate memory in resourse 7 then about 3 minutes later, kubuntu will start up? | 06:43 |
| stdin | Evil_`: because you have a non-standard proprietary BIOS | 06:44 |
| ardchoille | LazyStudent: kubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package, it itself is empty, but it pulls in everything for a kde environment | 06:44 |
| LazyStudent | bye | 06:44 |
| LazyStudent | I gathered that, thanks Ard | 06:44 |
| Evil_` | stdin, what do you mean by that? | 06:44 |
| BanisterKelly | Did I ask a bad question? | 06:44 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: No | 06:44 |
| BanisterKelly | Why is no one answering? | 06:45 |
| ere4si | !patince | 06:45 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about patince - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 06:45 |
| BanisterKelly | I shall sit back and wait. | 06:45 |
| BanisterKelly | My apology. | 06:45 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: Noteveryone who is looking at their irc client right now knows every answer | 06:45 |
| Evil_` | Patience is a virtue. | 06:45 |
| stdin | Evil_`: it means that the BIOS (the bit of software that tells the OS about the hardware you have) does not use the standard way. so the kernel has to guess a bit | 06:46 |
| BanisterKelly | Patience is needed for computers and new OS' | 06:46 |
| twylight | <3 dmdfkz | 06:46 |
| Evil_` | Well, right now I have it to load the Disk drive first (because of the livecd) could that affect it at all? | 06:46 |
| stdin | Evil_`: it's not a huge problem, if it continues to boot then the kernel worked it out and doesn't care | 06:46 |
| Evil_` | k, I just find it abit annoying waiting 5 minutes lol | 06:46 |
| Evil_` | Solution: run computer 24/7 | 06:47 |
| stdin | it's down to the maker of the BIOS not to be evil :p | 06:47 |
| Trek | livecd take a while to load, depending on the CD/DVD Drive | 06:47 |
| BanisterKelly | I had an old PC running 2 weeks in 98SE without a reboot/shutdown. | 06:47 |
| Evil_` | Trek, this is the OS itself, not the livecd | 06:47 |
| stdin | *cough* 06:47:46 up 29 days, 6:22, 3 users, load average: 2.95, 2.62, 2.08 | 06:47 |
| Evil_` | I actually didn't think it installed correctly, I've reinstalled Kubuntu about 4 times because I thought it did it wrong....but now I know it just takes a while | 06:48 |
| ardchoille | stdin: :) | 06:48 |
| Trek | WIN98... 2 weeks! Why? did you want to see if the computer would commit suicide | 06:48 |
| BanisterKelly | lol | 06:48 |
| Evil_` | LOL | 06:48 |
| BanisterKelly | No, actually I kept forgetting it was on. lol Used primarily for networking and sharing. | 06:49 |
| Evil_` | 1 really wicked awesome thing about conversation is doing [[ word]] without spaces | 06:51 |
| BanisterKelly | WHen installing, how big should the swap file be? | 06:51 |
| BanisterKelly | swap partition | 06:52 |
| raylu | BanisterKelly, how much ram do you have? | 06:52 |
| BanisterKelly | 384MB 1Ghz CPU | 06:52 |
| raylu | er... | 06:52 |
| stdin | BanisterKelly: and is it a laptop that you want to be able to hibernate with? | 06:52 |
| BanisterKelly | No, old Dell PC | 06:52 |
| BanisterKelly | Desktop pc | 06:52 |
| raylu | since when do laptops come with 384? | 06:53 |
| BanisterKelly | I won't mention my old Dell with 32MB, or is it 64? lol | 06:53 |
| stdin | I usually recommend 1GB, just in case you want to make a DVD or do some graphics processing | 06:53 |
| raylu | i had a 64mb desktop :D | 06:53 |
| BanisterKelly | Nah, I don't do those stuff. | 06:53 |
| Trek | 1GB for swap, or just RAM | 06:53 |
| stdin | BanisterKelly: 512 should do then | 06:53 |
| raylu | how big is the harddrive? | 06:54 |
| BanisterKelly | I have an HP here I fool with that is max memory of 64MB. lol | 06:54 |
| twylight | lol | 06:54 |
| BanisterKelly | I have 2 hard drives on here at 20GB each. | 06:54 |
| BanisterKelly | Also a DVD burner | 06:55 |
| Trek | when i set up ubuntu, I put 10GB for root, 15GB for home, 5GB swap.... was this a bad move | 06:56 |
| Trek | ???? | 06:56 |
| raylu | o.0, that's a pretty big swap | 06:57 |
| stdin | 5GB swap? I doubt you need that | 06:57 |
| raylu | but otherwise, sounds reasonable. though, if you have only 30gb total, you probably would have been better off combining your root and home | 06:57 |
| ere4si | should still work - most of the swap won't be used but | 06:57 |
| stdin | unless you have 16KB ram | 06:57 |
| Trek | i wasn't sure how linux handled virual memory | 06:57 |
| stdin | better than windows | 06:57 |
| raylu | regardless, it uses approximately the same amount as windows. it doesn't need an extra 5 GB | 06:58 |
| Trek | I had a 1GB RAM | 06:58 |
| BanisterKelly | I install all one drive as / and the second drive as extra space and a swap partition. | 06:58 |
| raylu | is there a way to get konversation to load scripts or must I restart everytime? | 06:58 |
| raylu | the scripts are in ~/.kde/share/apps/konversation/scripts | 06:59 |
| stdin | it looks for scripts when you put in a command | 06:59 |
| BanisterKelly | Should I check back later and re-ask my question? | 06:59 |
| raylu | it doesn't :P | 06:59 |
| stdin | /exec scriptname | 06:59 |
| stdin | if you havent set an alias | 06:59 |
| Trek | so i know for next time, what's a good formula for estimating the size of the swap partition | 07:00 |
| raylu | i haven't, and that doens't work | 07:00 |
| BanisterKelly | Good question Trek | 07:00 |
| stdin | Trek: about 1.5 - 2x RAM generally, tho the more ram the less swap you need | 07:00 |
| raylu | o.0 | 07:00 |
| raylu | nevermind | 07:00 |
| Trek | thank you | 07:00 |
| raylu | so, what's wrong with this line? | 07:01 |
| raylu | dcop $PORT Konversation say $SERVER "ChanServ" "$1 $TARGET $2+" | 07:01 |
| raylu | assuming i've already shifted thrice? | 07:01 |
| stdin | so, if you have 4GB ram, you don't need 6-8GB swap :p | 07:01 |
| Trek | if you have that much RAM, why would you need a swap | 07:02 |
| stdin | raylu: 1 $PORT is "konversation" so you don't need another "Konversation" after | 07:02 |
| BanisterKelly | Would you recomend or not recomend running Kubuntu on a 550Mhz PC with 384MB memory? | 07:02 |
| raylu | but that was straight out of the help | 07:02 |
| stdin | Trek: sometimes it gives you a few extra seconds to stop an out of control process that's eating ram | 07:02 |
| Trek | oic | 07:03 |
| Rukus | hi | 07:04 |
| BanisterKelly | Howdy | 07:04 |
| Rukus | why would glxgears run REAL slow until i start compiz? then it runs fast | 07:05 |
| raylu | kubuntu can run on that, sure | 07:05 |
| stdin | raylu: "dcop $PORT default say $SERVER $TARGET $whatever $else $is $passed ", #konversation for help | 07:05 |
| raylu | Rukus, you mean..why does it slow down as you start compiz? | 07:05 |
| Rukus | no | 07:05 |
| raylu | ah, that looks like it'll work, stdin; I think the kde help for konv needs an update | 07:05 |
| Rukus | i get 150 frames/sec. then i start compiz --replace and it shoots up to 2000frames/sec | 07:06 |
| Rukus | why so kooky | 07:06 |
| ere4si | 2000 fps? | 07:06 |
| Rukus | ya | 07:07 |
| raylu | what is the variable for "every argument after 2"? i thought it was $2+? | 07:07 |
| ere4si | that's gotta be a record... | 07:07 |
| raylu | or a bug :P | 07:07 |
| Rukus | 9727 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1938.062 FPS | 07:07 |
| Rukus | 10920 frames in 5.1 seconds = 2148.201 FPS | 07:07 |
| BanisterKelly | I remember reading about the 3D cube effect in LInux. Is that still around, or faded? | 07:07 |
| raylu | !compiz | BanisterKelly | 07:07 |
| ubotu | BanisterKelly: 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 | 07:08 |
| Rukus | it even appears to run faster | 07:08 |
| BanisterKelly | Thank you. | 07:08 |
| raylu | the wall is better than the cube</fact></opinion> | 07:08 |
| BanisterKelly | I didn't know what it was, just knew of it from reading up on Linux. | 07:08 |
| ere4si | the wall? | 07:09 |
| BanisterKelly | Pink Floyd? lol | 07:09 |
| raylu | yes. instead of the Desktop Cube, i use the Desktop Wall | 07:10 |
| raylu | :D | 07:10 |
| BanisterKelly | Never heard of it. | 07:11 |
| raylu | it's one of the plugins to compiz fusion; i disabled the cube and enabled the wall | 07:11 |
| twylight | screenshots plz | 07:12 |
| stdin | > -offtopic | 07:12 |
| raylu | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7eaI9YcxD9s <16 | 07:13 |
| twylight | JUST AS he said offtopic | 07:13 |
| stdin | post links like that in -offtopic, not in the main channel, thanks | 07:13 |
| raylu | T.T sorry | 07:14 |
| BanisterKelly | I am off to do some reading. Be back later to ask questions. | 07:16 |
| Linux_Galore | heres a question, how come all the nice little kde image resize apps like SIR or Kim or even the three menu image resize apps that come to mind are not on the repo, Gnome has its plugins but KDE is left the poorer | 07:18 |
| BanisterKelly | Here is another question: Why do I get commit/broken package errors when I install/update? | 07:19 |
| papi | here comes another more question. Any experience in using Heimdal kerberos and php5? | 07:19 |
| BanisterKelly | Why does installing Kubuntu 7.10 CD/DVD say there is a version update? | 07:20 |
| Linux_Galore | BanisterKelly: hmm I got that too but not from the dvd install, worked fine though afterwards | 07:21 |
| raylu | BanisterKelly, your repositories might include the next version's preview | 07:21 |
| Linux_Galore | BanisterKelly: sounds like you have an old cd/dvd | 07:21 |
| BanisterKelly | I just downloaded it earlier today. | 07:21 |
| BanisterKelly | Took a few hours to get it. | 07:22 |
| raylu | have you configured your repositories yet? | 07:22 |
| BanisterKelly | Yes. | 07:22 |
| raylu | then I think you added the Hoary repository | 07:22 |
| BanisterKelly | But everytime I run update/install of programs I get a program and the program crashes. | 07:22 |
| BanisterKelly | I get an error | 07:22 |
| BanisterKelly | then it crashes after I press Okay | 07:23 |
| raylu | by "the program," you mean adept? | 07:23 |
| BanisterKelly | Something about Commit breaking the Package, or something like that. | 07:23 |
| BanisterKelly | Yeah, I think that the program. | 07:23 |
| BanisterKelly | Add/Remove Programs | 07:23 |
| raylu | ah. use: sudo dpkg --configure -a | 07:24 |
| Evil_` | How can I get Adobe's Flash Player to work with Konqueror? | 07:24 |
| BanisterKelly | Right now I am running from the LIve CD. | 07:24 |
| Linux_Galore | Evil_`: just install adobe flash then it will work | 07:25 |
| Linux_Galore | Evil_`: use your package manager | 07:25 |
| BanisterKelly | I will run that once I reboot. | 07:26 |
| Evil_` | Linux_Galore: ok, thanks | 07:26 |
| Linux_Galore | ? flash | 07:27 |
| Linux_Galore | ! flash | 07:27 |
| ubotu | 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 | 07:27 |
| raylu | BanisterKelly, actually, there is a way to run that command as if it were happening on your system | 07:27 |
| BanisterKelly | I am stuck between using Kubuntu and OpenSuSE. OpenSuSE runs vmware fine, but not Kubuntu. Kubuntu has a much better selection of programs to check out. | 07:27 |
| Linux_Galore | !vmware | 07:27 |
| ubotu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 07:27 |
| BanisterKelly | Now you're speaking my language. lol | 07:28 |
| raylu | you can mount your linux partition (as /media/linux, for example) and use chroot /media/linux | 07:28 |
| BanisterKelly | Never could get Vbox working in ANY Linux distros. | 07:28 |
| raylu | and then use dpkg --configure... from there | 07:28 |
| Linux_Galore | I use xen on Fedora 8, total no brainer | 07:29 |
| BanisterKelly | I will look that up. | 07:29 |
| BanisterKelly | All I am looking for is a way to run a 98SE in Linux so I can use my old favorites and still be running Linux. | 07:30 |
| raylu | BanisterKelly, define "old favorites" | 07:30 |
| stdin | BanisterKelly: try wine before vmware | 07:30 |
| BanisterKelly | Most of my favorite Windows programs will run fine in a virtual environment. | 07:30 |
| BanisterKelly | Stuff like 3D Ultra Trains, LCARS/Star Trek programs and utilities. | 07:31 |
| BanisterKelly | Old programming environment I love to fool with | 07:31 |
| raylu | o.0...never heard of any of that...but if it runs in 98, I bet wine can handle it | 07:31 |
| BanisterKelly | Old Windows 9x software and a few games. | 07:31 |
| BanisterKelly | Some from the Win 3.xx days. lmao | 07:31 |
| Jucato | lcars... | 07:31 |
| Linux_Galore | BanisterKelly: always try bocks or dosemu | 07:32 |
| BanisterKelly | LCARS - Library Computer Access and Retrieval System | 07:32 |
| Linux_Galore | oops bochs | 07:32 |
| Jucato | yeah I know :) | 07:32 |
| BanisterKelly | OS used in Star Trek | 07:32 |
| raylu | o.0 | 07:32 |
| BanisterKelly | I have a DOS program NO emulator can run without locking up the system. lol | 07:32 |
| Linux_Galore | BanisterKelly: most old windows games run fine in wine | 07:32 |
| BanisterKelly | Looks like I have quite a bit of reading to do. lol | 07:33 |
| stdin | and Wine Is Not an Emulator = WINE | 07:33 |
| Linux_Galore | BanisterKelly: always use mame roms, tons on the web and they run fine in Linux | 07:34 |
| BanisterKelly | Will Wine handle the programs used with MS agent tech? | 07:34 |
| Jucato | they should have really named WINE is as WICL (weekel) :D | 07:34 |
| stdin | ask in #winehq | 07:34 |
| Linux_Galore | howtoforge as a guide for setting up vmware in Linux, very well done too | 07:36 |
| Linux_Galore | s/linux/Ubuntu/ | 07:36 |
| stdin | ubuntu has a guide too... | 07:36 |
| Linux_Galore | s/Linux/Ubuntu/ | 07:37 |
| raylu | actually, blizzard games (including WoW), and the orange box run on wine ;D | 07:37 |
| raylu | with miminal configuration | 07:37 |
| BanisterKelly | Most of the games I play others avoid. lol | 07:37 |
| raylu | seriously, what does lcars do? | 07:37 |
| BanisterKelly | You mean like LCARS Media Player, LCARS System, etc? lol | 07:38 |
| Linux_Galore | doesnt Ubuntu sponsor the winetools project (making wine easy) | 07:38 |
| raylu | o.0...nevermind | 07:38 |
| BanisterKelly | Yup. | 07:38 |
| BanisterKelly | I am off to read. Thanks for all the help and suggestions. | 07:38 |
| raylu | you should redistribute xubuntu and rename everything with LCARS | 07:38 |
| Linux_Galore | wonder how far along that has gotten (winetools) | 07:38 |
| raylu | !winetoolls | 07:39 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about winetoolls - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:39 |
| raylu | !winetools | 07:39 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about winetools - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 07:39 |
| BanisterKelly | Can I post a link here? | 07:39 |
| ere4si | !wine | 07:39 |
| ubotu | WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility. | 07:39 |
| BanisterKelly | Non linux link | 07:39 |
| ere4si | !AppDB | 07:39 |
| ubotu | The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org | 07:39 |
| Linux_Galore | BanisterKelly: why do you want the LCARS media player, Linux has a gazillion players and some even allow you too use windows themes and skins | 07:40 |
| raylu | are any of them called the LCARS media player though? | 07:40 |
| BanisterKelly | No one said I wanted it, just mentioning a few LCARS programs I used in Winblows. | 07:40 |
| BanisterKelly | Check out: http://www.bennisoft.com | 07:40 |
| BanisterKelly | I bought some of them before they became free and there were more when it first started. | 07:41 |
| Linux_Galore | BanisterKelly: get ready to have your trekie mind explode heh imagine a portable Linux UMPC whats looks and works like the one on startrek http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwXBPjLdJnU | 07:42 |
| Linux_Galore | get a N770 cheap as cheaps right now too | 07:43 |
| Linux_Galore | chips* | 07:43 |
| Linux_Galore | or you can use superkaramba with some lcars themes http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/LCARS+Monitor+NEW?content=62823 | 07:47 |

| BanisterKelly | I don't do wireless phones. | 07:51 |
| Linux_Galore | BanisterKelly: well you can get a N770 for under US$100 | 07:51 |
| * Jucato has that link too :) | 07:51 | |
| Jucato | BanisterKelly: it's not a phone :) | 07:51 |

| Jucato | :D | 07:51 |
| Linux_Galore | BanisterKelly: its a UMPC | 07:51 |
| BanisterKelly | Whats a umpc? | 07:51 |
| Jucato | officially it's an IT (Internet Tablet) | 07:51 |
| Jucato | Ultra Mobile PC | 07:51 |
| Linux_Galore | BanisterKelly: portable tablet device with WiFi and Bluetooth | 07:52 |
| Jucato | which is sort of a Windows "brand"... | 07:52 |
| Linux_Galore | the N770 though technically isnt a PC because it runs an arm based cpu | 07:52 |
| BanisterKelly | Oh boy, another thing bill has his filthy hands on. lol | 07:52 |
| Jucato | (hence the Internet Tablet name) | 07:52 |
| Linux_Galore | Im getting a N810 this xmas, got my order in over at amazon | 07:53 |

| Evil_` | Any idea why I can't hear music from Amarok? | 08:03 |
| Linux_Galore | Evil_`: do you have two sounds cards ie built in & pci sound card ? | 08:03 |
| ere4si | Evil_: done the obvious? - !sound | 08:04 |
| Evil_` | I guess lol, dunno | 08:04 |
| ere4si | !sound | 08:04 |
| ubotu | 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 | 08:04 |
| Linux_Galore | Evil_`: if you have two sound cards often it will default to the on-board sound not the sound card you have to tell it too use the correct one | 08:05 |
| Evil_` | in the sound options thing the PCM was down all the way | 08:05 |
| Evil_` | when I turned it up, it worked lol | 08:06 |

| simion314 | Linux_Galore: they do not put in the memory field nothing, and i belived that it will default to something | 08:13 |

| Jucato | spykedtomato: if you do, run "make uninstall" (or sudo make uninstall) | 08:17 |
| spykedtomato | Jucato: no - i don't have the build dir | 08:17 |

| spykedtomato | wait | 08:18 |

| Jucato | no that won't be the build dir... | 08:18 |
| spykedtomato | if it's the same version... | 08:18 |
| Jucato | that would be the source dir... but you could try this (not guaranteed) | 08:18 |
| posingaspopular | ahh i see | 08:18 |
| Jucato | try to compile and install it in exactly the same way as before | 08:19 |
| Jucato | then uninstall it using make uninstall... | 08:19 |

| DjDarkman | ok it`s back | 08:31 |
| DjDarkman | but why did this happen? | 08:31 |
| DjDarkman | I mean this happened last day | 08:31 |
| DjDarkman | but my harddisk worked before | 08:31 |
| DjDarkman | is there a logical explanation for it? | 08:32 |
| phaedra | DjDarkman, there are some problems with 7.10 and laptop hd's... It has something to do with the power saving routines being too agressive. That might be it. | 08:32 |

| fairyeneried | i have a problem, a really big problem, i can't use KDe cause KDE windows are borderless and KDE does not recognize any keboard input :( | 08:56 |
| stdin | simion314: unless you know the mac address of each, you just have to try it one way and see | 08:57 |
| fairyeneried | the weird fact is, i'm using konversation now under gnome and it seems to be complete | 08:57 |
| bazhang | fairyeneried: is this using compiz in kde session? | 08:58 |
| fairyeneried | i think i have no compiz installed, but, yes, seems to be a compiz problem | 08:58 |
| bazhang | fairyeneried: if using compiz there is a fix, if not need more info | 08:59 |
| simion314 | stdin: i know theyr name, there are diffrent, i need to see the name of the cards to determine what is eth0 and what is eth1 | 08:59 |

| DjDarkman | phaedra: is there some way to make 7.10 not want to save power? | 09:01 |
| arun_ | thank you se7en, stdin | 09:01 |
| DjDarkman | I mean I was happy with the power saving features before 7.10 | 09:01 |
| arun_ | se7en: it says -R is an illegal option | 09:02 |
| arun_ | sorry -r | 09:02 |
| stdin | arun_: "mv directory1 directory2" no -r | 09:02 |
| arun_ | alright | 09:02 |
| simion314 | stdin: i try to start firestarter and put to share internet with eth0 first and then with eth1 but it said that device is not ready, but first i want to determin exactly with card is witch | 09:02 |
| arun_ | stdin: worked | 09:02 |
| arun_ | thanks :) | 09:02 |
| stdin | simion314: the interface won't be "up" unless it connected to something | 09:03 |
| arun_ | um how do i cd to folders that have spaces in the name | 09:03 |
| se7en_ | use the\ for\ files | 09:04 |
| fairyeneried | bazhang: i have no compiz | 09:05 |
| phaedra | DjDarkman, You can try noacpi boot param but I don't know if that'll stop the cycling... | 09:05 |
| stdin | arun_: use tab to complete the name, spaced need to be "escaped" with a back-slash "cd folder\ with\ some\ spaces" | 09:05 |
| arun_ | alright.. thanks | 09:05 |
| DjDarkman | phaedra: is the dev team working on a solution for this problem? | 09:05 |
| bazhang | fairyeneried: have you checked the themes for a better alternative (ie one with borders) | 09:06 |
| arun_ | thanks a lot se7en, stdin | 09:06 |
| arun_ | you've been a real help! :) | 09:06 |
| fairyeneried | bazhang: i'm using plastik theme | 09:07 |
| fairyeneried | and i'm in gnome now, and my Konversation window has borders | 09:07 |
| fairyeneried | i did kwin --replace, and gnome borders gone and kde borders appeared | 09:08 |
| bazhang | fairyeneried: have you tried another--to see if the problem persists | 09:08 |
| fairyeneried | under gnome XD | 09:08 |
| phaedra | DjDarkman, I don't know but the trouble is with the power.sh script that is run. It issues an hdparm -B1 to all block devices... | 09:08 |
| fairyeneried | let me try | 09:08 |
| DjDarkman | but that is wrong phaedra it makes my dvd writer useless | 09:11 |
| phaedra | DjDarkman, You can always edit the affected files... But I think 7.10 has a few gotchas in it. It's the reason I've gone back to 7.04... | 09:11 |
| fairyeneried | bazhang: i'm here again | 09:11 |
| fairyeneried | no luck | 09:12 |
| phaedra | DjDarkman, What makes the dvd useless? | 09:12 |
| DjDarkman | phaedra: if It turns off DMA on my HDD and my DVD writer then how am I supposed to write DVD`s? | 09:12 |
| fairyeneried | i started a session in KDE, changed themes to all other themes, windows remains borderless, then i tryied changing window decorations, and the problem continues | 09:12 |
| bazhang | fairyeneried: so now you no gnome borders but yes on the kde borders? strange | 09:12 |
| fairyeneried | no no no | 09:13 |
| phaedra | DjDarkman, Not turning off dma... Turn off acpi. | 09:13 |
| DjDarkman | all this stuff happens in laptop mode? | 09:13 |
| fairyeneried | i'm in gnome, windows are normal | 09:13 |
| fairyeneried | gnome borders and gnome decoration except inside | 09:13 |
| fairyeneried | kde windows have plastik decoration | 09:13 |
| phaedra | DjDarkman, yes. It happens as soon as you go to battery power. | 09:13 |
| DjDarkman | yeah that`s cool phaedra but I`m not on battery power and DMA is turned off on all | 09:14 |
| fairyeneried | ok, under gnome i openen a terminal and wrote "kwin --replace" then borders changed to other borders, i think they're KDE borders | 09:14 |
| fairyeneried | then i closed terminal, and of course borders disapeared, i got a gnome with no window borders | 09:15 |
| phaedra | DjDarkman, Just turn 'em on again... | 09:15 |

| bazhang | fairyeneried: you have kde4 gnome and kde all installed at the same time correct? did you have this issue before you installed kde4? | 09:15 |
| fairyeneried | i openen the appareacen control panel in selected something trying to enable little compiz features | 09:15 |
| DjDarkman | would it be wise phaedra to just delete the lines from the power.sh where it goes into "laptop_mode"? | 09:15 |
| fairyeneried | system says, ther's no compiz and restored my window borders | 09:15 |
| simion314 | where can i set my ip in KDE ? | 09:15 |
| DjDarkman | simion314: system settings -> networking... | 09:16 |
| fairyeneried | then i have gnome working and kde apps working under gnome, but kde session is useless | 09:16 |
| phaedra | DjDarkman, No... You can add some things to stop the cycling... I'll see if I can get you a url for it. Hang on... | 09:16 |
| DjDarkman | ok | 09:16 |
| fairyeneried | bazhang: i don't have kde4 | 09:16 |
| fairyeneried | and this is the first time i try to use KDE | 09:17 |
| phaedra | DjDarkman, Here's one. http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/forums.asp?s=2&c=16&t=4658 | 09:17 |
| simion314 | DjDarkman: how can i start it as root? | 09:17 |
| DjDarkman | one thing I don`t understand... how does turning off DMA save power? | 09:17 |
| fairyeneried | i mean using KDE in this installation | 09:17 |
| DjDarkman | simion314: it will ask for your root password don`t worry | 09:17 |
| bazhang | fairyeneried: so now you have borders back again--after trying to start compiz? | 09:18 |
| simion314 | it do not ask me yet, and it seams that the options are disabled | 09:18 |
| phaedra | DjDarkman, And another one. http://paul.luon.net/journal/hacking/BrokenHDDs.html | 09:18 |
| fairyeneried | yes, cause system cannot start compiz, thee's no compiz file at all, and then when this panel fails starting compiz then it restored last behavior XD | 09:19 |
| bazhang | fairyeneried: so that's fixed, or there's something still remaining? | 09:21 |
| Les_Caesars | I use regular old ubuntu, but I use kopete as my instant messenger because it supports webcam. When I click on a hyperlink, it opens konqueror, which I do not want. How do I make it instead open up firefox? | 09:21 |
| simion314 | DjDarkman:in network connections at network interface the devices are disabled(eth0 and eth1) and i can't configure the ips | 09:22 |
| DjDarkman | simion314: no problem just re-enable them | 09:22 |

| fairyeneried | i closed ubuntu by error :( | 09:24 |
| bazhang | arun_: depends on your cpu | 09:24 |
| DjDarkman | simion314: press admininstrator mode | 09:25 |
| DjDarkman | brb | 09:25 |
| bazhang | fairyeneried: how are those borders looking | 09:25 |
| arun_ | bazhang: I have an intel core 2 duo processor with 1GB RAM | 09:26 |
| fairyeneried | bazhang: invisible | 09:26 |
| bazhang | arun_: then no time at all :} | 09:26 |

| arun_ | as in very close to 100% | 09:27 |
| thomax__ | fairyeneried: chmod 777 file.sh | 09:28 |
| bazhang | arun_: sounds hung--maybe give it a few more minutes | 09:28 |
| arun_ | bazhang: it's been this way for over an hour now | 09:28 |
| thomax__ | fairyeneried: and to execute it, just type path to file in console | 09:28 |
| bazhang | arun_: at 100% for an hour? | 09:28 |
| fairyeneried | i'll try to double click ir under KDE, cause KDE is not receiving me any keyboard input | 09:29 |
| arun_ | near 100% yes | 09:29 |
| arun_ | been stuck there | 09:29 |

| mauri | i've a problem wwith adept manager. It say: Anoter process is usign....... | 09:42 |
| fairyeneried | i think the problem is there's no compiz, but KDE is trying to load it | 09:42 |
| thomax__ | by uninstalling it? | 09:42 |
| thomax__ | hmm | 09:42 |
| fairyeneried | there's no compiz, there's no way to uninstall it | 09:43 |

| risto | what was the fps testing program ? | 09:44 |
| mauri | yodo: i know thet after reeboot it should be probably solved. I would like to avoid this case | 09:44 |

| mauri | yodo: i seen but no process whit the name adept are existing | 09:46 |
| risto | what was the the name of testing video driver glx.. ? | 09:47 |

| lvjiabin | Stdin，thanks | 11:12 |
| lvjiabin | It likely somewhat beautiful | 11:12 |
| stdin | very :p | 11:13 |
| lvjiabin | En ,do you know when the stable come out? | 11:14 |
| luca_b | lvjiabin: Tagging is in December | 11:14 |
| blendtux | stdin: question | 11:14 |
| blendtux | i am trying to install kde4 rc 1 | 11:14 |
| blendtux | but i got a dep problem | 11:14 |
| stdin | lvjiabin: http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Schedul | 11:15 |
| blendtux | /msg stdin: | 11:15 |
| blendtux | The following packages have unmet dependencies: | 11:15 |
| blendtux | kdebase-workspace-dev: Depends: libnm-util-dev but it is not going to be insta | 11:15 |
| blendtux | Depends: network-manager-dev but it is not going to be | 11:15 |
| blendtux | E: Broken packages | 11:15 |
| stdin | blendtux: you need to remove all the old kde beta package, all of them | 11:15 |
| blendtux | i never installed them stdin | 11:15 |
| simion314 | stdin: same output | 11:15 |
| lvjiabin | stdin:En ,I know !But too slow ! | 11:16 |
| stdin | blendtux: both those are in main, should be installable. try installing them manually | 11:16 |
| stdin | lvjiabin: then go help out :) | 11:17 |
| lvjiabin | Oh ,my poor English | 11:17 |
| stdin | simion314: post the /etc/network/interfaces file to pastebin | 11:17 |

| lvjiabin | Thanks,evrybody | 11:19 |
| simion314 | stdin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45687/ | 11:21 |
| blendtux | cant do it stdin, libnm-util-dev: Depends: libnm-util0 (= 0.6.5-0ubuntu16) but 0.6.5-0ubuntu16.7 .10.0 is to be installed | 11:21 |
| stdin | simion314: the one with the internet connection should not have "gateway 192.168.0.1" only the one without | 11:22 |
| simion314 | stdin: i tried every thing, and the applet from kde complains that the gateway is invalid, try to put nothing there again, i will modify the interface file | 11:23 |
| stdin | blendtux: looks like you had gutsy-proposed enabled then disabled. try re-enabling it | 11:23 |
| asktoby | How do I set the permissions on an SD card? It mounts as root:root and I can't seem to change it. | 11:23 |
| blendtux | stdin: lol, ehm sorry what do you mean by that | 11:24 |
| stdin | asktoby: mount it with pmount, not mount | 11:24 |
| asktoby | Trying "Disks and filesystems", and also sudo chmod :mygroup /media/mountpoint | 11:24 |
| asktoby | stdin: Is this facility not offered by the GUI? I don't mind CLI, but my wife does :) | 11:25 |
| stdin | blendtux: in adept, Adept > Manage Repositories, in the Updates tab make sure that the first 4 boxes are checked | 11:25 |
| stdin | asktoby: how are you mounting it? | 11:26 |
| asktoby | If it doesn't automount, I right-click on the icon that appears on the desktop | 11:26 |
| simion314 | stdin: is the same output from ifconfig eth1 and the applet gives me the same error that the gatway ip is invalid, i do not understend why is not working | 11:28 |
| blendtux | thanks stdin :) | 11:30 |
| stdin | asktoby: is it ext3 ? | 11:30 |
| stdin | simion314: in the interfaces file, take out the "gateway 192.168.0.1" and add "auto eth1" at the very top | 11:31 |
| blendtux | btw stdin how is kde 4 rc1 | 11:33 |
| stdin | blendtux: haven't had that much chance to test it yet :p | 11:34 |
| blendtux | oke, but are you going to help with the krush days | 11:34 |
| asktoby | stdin: It's VFAT, according to the 'mount' command | 11:34 |
| stdin | blendtux: I'm not a kde dev (not yet anyway), I just do the packaging | 11:35 |
| === renato is now known as renato_ | ||
| === renato_ is now known as renato__ | ||
| stdin | asktoby: strange, it shouldn't/can't mount as root if the user is mounting it | 11:35 |
| stdin | unless you have a line for it in /etc/fstab? | 11:36 |
| === renato__ is now known as sax_tenore | ||
| simion314 | stdin: the fiels are now emptin in system settings network.. and ifconfig output is the same, i belive i must try other time, some thing is wrong here, i made this before in ubuntu and in windows it works fine | 11:36 |
| blendtux | but the krush days, are for users to report bugs right | 11:36 |
| blendtux | you hdont have to be a developer to report bugs stdin | 11:36 |
| stdin | blendtux: yeah, but I haven't used it enough to see any bugs | 11:36 |
| stdin | been busy getting kdenetwork-kde4 to compile | 11:37 |
| stdin | which it now does :) | 11:37 |
| asktoby | quit | 11:37 |
| simion314 | stdin: can i install other interface to the network settings? | 11:38 |
| asktoby | (sorry, typed into wrong window there.) | 11:38 |
| asktoby | stdin: There is a line in the fstab, I think it was put there by "Disk and filesystems". | 11:40 |
| asktoby | stdin: It reads "UUID=E494-4355 /media/R4DS auto users,atime,noauto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid 0 0 | 11:40 |
| stdin | simion314: try resetting everything to what it was. then just give both PCs a static IP address and set the interfaces to start at boot. then make the 2nd PC use the IP of the 1st one as the gateway. then try getting firestarter to use it | 11:40 |
| asktoby | stdin: I thought the "users" section would make it usable by all users, no? | 11:40 |
| stdin | asktoby: it should, but it's not | 11:41 |
| stdin | asktoby: you generally don't put a fstab line for removable media anyway | 11:41 |
| stdin | it should just be detected when inserted | 11:41 |
| asktoby | stdin: Okay, I'll try commenting that line out | 11:42 |
| simion314 | stdin: tha applet has a bug, i configured the both y cards to auto ,and it gives me the same gatway ip invalid, and i put them to automatic dhcpm | 11:42 |
| stdin | you aren't using dhcp are you? | 11:43 |
| simion314 | no | 11:43 |
| asktoby | stdin: Having removed that line from fstab the device is now auto-mounted by the first desktop user, my wife on Ctrl-Alt-F7 | 11:45 |
| stdin | simion314: keep it as manual, put in the IP address and click the "Activate when computer starts" button, on the 2nd PC do the same but click the advanced tab and put in the IP of the 1st PC as the gateway | 11:45 |
| asktoby | stdin: How would I make it such that we both have write access to it? | 11:45 |
| stdin | asktoby: that'd be a bit difficult to let two users access it at the same time | 11:46 |
| simion314 | stdin: thx for your time, i search for other interface, one from gnome maybe will work | 11:46 |
| asktoby | stdin: Is it not just a matter of chowning /media/mountpoint to a group of which we are both a member? | 11:47 |
| stdin | asktoby: the easiest was is to put back the fstab line :p add to it "uid=46" | 11:47 |
| stdin | asktoby: no, because chown only work on filesystems that have support for permissions | 11:47 |
| asktoby | **epiphany** :D | 11:48 |
| stdin | asktoby: that should be "gid=46" too | 11:48 |
| stdin | asktoby: you could also just do "umask=0000" I guess | 11:49 |
| asktoby | stdin: what is the significance of 46 for the group identifier? | 11:49 |
| stdin | asktoby: that's the standard group number of the "plugdev" group | 11:50 |
| asktoby | My wife and I are both a member of the "newmans" group (our surname), so could I go gid=newmans | 11:50 |
| stdin | it has to be a number, not a name | 11:50 |
| stdin | asktoby: try this line "UUID=E494-4355 /media/R4DS auto users,atime,noauto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid,umask=0000 0 0" | 11:50 |
| stdin | that should work | 11:51 |
| asktoby | If I modify fstab manually will it upset the "Disks and filesystems" utility? | 11:52 |
| stdin | "Disks and filesystems" is just a GUI for fstab | 11:52 |
| asktoby | Neither my wife nor I have permission to mount the device now, I have to manually mount it as root. | 12:02 |
| simion314 | had anyone tried SUSE linux? i wan to now how is it in compare tu ubuntu | 12:02 |
| stdin | asktoby: it should be the same line as before, just with ",umask=0000" at the end | 12:04 |
| asktoby | stdin: I have: | 12:05 |
| asktoby | UUID=E494-4355 /media/R4DS auto users,atime,noauto,rw,nodev,noexec,nosuid,umask=0000 0 0 | 12:05 |
| asktoby | Should that be user, not users? I'm reading fstab on wikipedia now and it says "user" singular | 12:06 |
| stdin | asktoby: they are different options, users lets users mount it. user only lets the owner of the device node mount it (probably root) | 12:06 |
| kde4 | stdin: i installed the packages but now i want to run kde4 instead its running kde3 | 12:07 |

| asktoby | stdin: I've found that I can mount it using the command "$ mount R4DS" but I can't by right-clicking the GUI icon. | 12:09 |
| asktoby | stdin: Right clicking and choosing mount gives me a "permission denied". | 12:10 |
| invite_ | can somone tell how to set the language of a specified app (like ksysguard) ? | 12:11 |
| invite_ | From konsole | 12:11 |
| stdin | asktoby: you can create a new "link to application" and have the command "mount R4DS" then you could just double click that link to mount it | 12:11 |
| kde4 | yes but i followed everything from the website on kubuntu | 12:11 |
| invite_ | I have some .mo i want to test | 12:11 |
| stdin | kde4: then you choose kde4 from the KDM login menu | 12:12 |

| kde4 | yes i did, and then i get a kde3 desktop | 12:13 |
| stdin | invite_: #kde-i18n ? | 12:13 |
| invite_ | thnx | 12:14 |
| stdin | maini10: I see nothing like that, try re-running the apt-get line to make sure you have all the needed packages | 12:14 |
| stdin | kde4: and you edited the file too? | 12:14 |
| stdin | kde4: and added the lines to /usr/lib/kde4/bin/startkde ? | 12:15 |
| invite_ | Found no one in #kde-i18n , strange !!! | 12:15 |
| kde4 | yep i did stdin | 12:15 |
| invite_ | stdin : Are you sure for the channel? | 12:15 |
| maini10 | stdin: unfortunately, no further upgrades are available | 12:15 |
| stdin | invite_: no, it was a guess. maybe someone knows in #kde | 12:16 |
| invite_ | :) | 12:16 |
| invite_ | maybe google can be of some help too, thanks | 12:17 |
| stdin | maini10: can you post the output of this command to pastebin: dpkg -l|grep "4:3.96.0" | 12:19 |
| asktoby | stdin: That works for me. It's a little scruffy (!) but it does work,thanks. | 12:21 |
| stdin | asktoby: there is no perfect solution, only well hidden problems :) | 12:22 |
| kde4 | is there a way to manualy start kde4 stdin | 12:23 |

I installed ubuntu, of course with Gnome, then i installed Amarok, then few days later kdebase, yesterday SCIM with chinese and japanese support, after that (i removed default compiz, this computer does not support it, but system wanted to update it, then my friend asked me to remove it), then i | 15:28 |
| fairyeneried | configured SCIM as the guide says... AND... i started KDE just for curiosity... and the problem is KDE have no window borders, as i said i have no compiz at all, what the problem could be, and how can i solve it? | 15:28 |

| TheGentleman | anyone knows why I cannot see avaliable wifi networks with knetworkmanager, while "iwlist ath0 scanning" shows several networks available? | 18:33 |
| Lynoure | TheGentleman: most common fix seems to be to comment out the wifi interface from /etc/network/interfaces | 18:33 |
| pag | maverick_, kcontrol -> KDE comp. -> File Manager -> Previews -> set the "maximum file size" to zero | 18:34 |
| TheGentleman | going to have a look Lynoure ....... | 18:34 |
| Lynoure | TheGentleman: networkmanager has known throuble configuring interfaces that are already configured in that file. Try it out, cannot hurt as you can always uncomment the changes | 18:34 |
| TheGentleman | ok, tahnks Lynoure | 18:34 |
| Tm_T | maverick_: have you tried #kde ? | 18:35 |

| Tm_T | roger | 18:37 |
| TheGentleman | Lynoure, what exactly do I have to comment out in the interfaces file? | 18:37 |
| TheGentleman | Lynoure, I can't see any "wifi" line there. | 18:38 |
| Lynoure | TheGentleman: If you pastebin the contents, I can show you, but pretty much anything except loopback is ok. | 18:38 |
| Lynoure | TheGentleman: I cannot see anything about what you have in there, hard to say what you have :) | 18:38 |
| TheGentleman | I can't pastebin: it's adifferent computer and it is obviously not connected.... | 18:39 |
| Lynoure | TheGentleman: Then, unless you can type it out, above was the only advice I could give. Anything except the lines for loopback | 18:40 |
| TheGentleman | Lynoure, if you have a few minutes, i could manually copy the content of the interfaces file to pastebin | 18:40 |
| Lynoure | TheGentleman: see http://www.lynoure.org/blog/index.php?/archives/76-Solving-the-common-NetworkManager-problem.html for an example | 18:41 |
| TheGentleman | ok, thanks Lynoure | 18:41 |
| TheGentleman | Lynoure, you can have a look at http://pastebin.com/d2026b4f2 if you like | 18:45 |
| Lynoure | TheGentleman: if you want to use knetworkmanager, try commenting out everything starting from line 7 | 18:46 |
| TheGentleman | i will try Lynoure . By the way, are there alternatives available to knetworkmanager? | 18:47 |
| Lynoure | TheGentleman: Not using it is a popular alternative. :) It all depends on what you are comfortable with. | 18:48 |
| Lynoure | and what you need to connect to, too. (Though it has been a year or so since I used anything except manual configuration or knetworkmanager) | 18:49 |

| Lynoure | TheGentleman: That's good to hear. :) | 19:03 |
| TheGentleman | I guess this malfunction with knetworkmanager is well known and already reported as a serious bug | 19:04 |
| Lynoure | TheGentleman: It has been around since Dapper, and I made a lot of noise about it then... So I suppose it would have gotten changed if it was going to. It's not necessarily a bug, sometimes you want networkmanager to keep its paws off some interfacees | 19:06 |

| ksal | so, somebody has any idea where i can change it? | 19:54 |
| ksal | it's not in fstab anyway | 19:54 |
| biovore | ksal: I think it has to do with the drive's volume label | 19:55 |

| ksal | i hope you understand that by label i meant name of a disk i.e. Kubuntu | 19:56 |

| ignoramus | exilant: that's what im thinking, too. Unfortunately, krecordmydesktop does not offer any qualities or alternative filetypes :( | 21:04 |
| ignoramus | ahmad: is your sound card being recognized? " sudo asoundconf list " | 21:05 |
| Exilant | ignoramus: can't you view the oggfiles directly? | 21:07 |
| ignoramus | exilant: yeah - they play fine in vlc, kaffeine, etc. But when i need to edit the screencasts, editors like kino or cinelerra can't read .ogg files | 21:08 |
| ignoramus | hence the need for conversion :/ | 21:08 |
| Exilant | yeah | 21:09 |
| Exilant | dunno though, only converted my science videos so far, where quality was not an issue | 21:09 |
| ignoramus | exilant: did you use a movie editor? | 21:10 |

| miknic | jjaa ok | 21:31 |
| riri | is talking about hardy here ? | 21:32 |
| raylu | also worth noting: xfce ran fine | 21:32 |
| ardchoille | xfce is nice | 21:32 |
| raylu | i'm guessing it doesn't try to reconfigure the display | 21:33 |
| vzduch | it is.. but *buntu used to have some bugs w/ XFce quite a while ago | 21:33 |
| vzduch | back in Hoary when there was no Xubuntu yet, e.g., there was something that caused Gnome to interfere w/ XFce | 21:33 |
| raylu | Dr_willis, RANDR is listed by xdpyinfo | 21:33 |
| Arelis | How do i set my default browser? | 21:34 |
| ardchoille | Arelis: System Settings > Default Applications | 21:35 |
| Arelis | ardchoille: I don't have system settings at the moment.. how do i install it? | 21:35 |
| ardchoille | Arelis: You on Gutsy? | 21:36 |
| raylu | ok...I think I know what the problem is... but I need to know how to disable one of my displays | 21:36 |
| Arelis | ardchoille: Yes. | 21:36 |
| raylu | my setup is actually a laptop connected by VGA to a monitor; the laptop's screen is broken and | 21:36 |
| raylu | xrandr --output LVDS --off works, but only for that session | 21:36 |
| sstchur | how com alt + f2 doesn't seem to work in KDE4? is that by design, or because the software is still beta? | 21:36 |
| raylu | sstchur, actually, I believe alt+f2 is a *ubuntu thing | 21:37 |
| ardchoille | Arelis: Then you should have System Settings, alt+f2, type in systemsettings | 21:37 |
| Arelis | ardchoille: naw, i didn't install kubuntu-desktop, but kde-core. So i installed just the core of KDE | 21:37 |
| ardchoille | raylu: no, alt+f2 is not a kubuntu thing | 21:37 |
| raylu | oh :( | 21:37 |
| ardchoille | Arelis: alt+f2, type in kcontrol, go to KDE Components > Default Applications | 21:38 |
| sstchur | raylu: oh, that would answer it then | 21:38 |
| raylu | er...it doesn't :P | 21:38 |
| Arelis | ardchoille: the Default applications thing is not there | 21:38 |
| ardchoille | sstchur: install an rc1 desktop should tell you that there will be certain problems ;) | 21:38 |
| Radi01 | They have it here http://www.getdeb.net/release.php?id=1840 Thanks vzduch. | 21:38 |
| ward_ | Hi guys, Just installed Kubuntu 7.04 on my hard disc | 21:39 |
| vzduch | ward_: why not 7.10? | 21:39 |
| ward_ | Now I need to update with Adept? | 21:39 |
| raylu | ward_, yes | 21:40 |
| ward_ | Because this was hte version I had on my bureau | 21:40 |
| ward_ | 'desk' | 21:40 |
| ardchoille | Arelis: Then I think you're out of luck since you didn't install kubuntu-desktop | 21:40 |
| ward_ | Is it good as graphic designer to install my Adobe CS3 design premium on Kubuntu? | 21:40 |
| ward_ | Or is it better to use windows? | 21:40 |
| ardchoille | ward_: It's never beter to use Windows, IMHO | 21:41 |
| ward_ | So you should advice me Kubuntu :) ? | 21:41 |
| simion314 | stdin: hi, are you there? | 21:41 |

| bjwebb | hihi | 21:44 |
| bjwebb | how do i get it to foreably fix apt, removing packages? | 21:45 |
| raylu | bjwebb, ..huh? | 21:46 |
| bjwebb | like apt-get -f install | 21:46 |
| raylu | Does anyone know how to get the equivalent of "xrandr --output LVDS --off" into my xorg.conf? | 21:46 |
| raylu | bjwebb, why won't it remove something? | 21:46 |
| bjwebb | raylu: because its broke | 21:47 |
| bjwebb | i want to tell it to do whatever it takes to fix it | 21:47 |
| bjwebb | including removing packages | 21:47 |
| ward_ | Question I have A disc :c & a disc :d in my pc. Can I set up a file server that accesses the C disc and maybe other external hard drives? | 21:47 |
| raylu | right..."because it's broke" is really not helping; paste the error | 21:47 |
| Dr_willis | ward_, you can mount and access windows drives from linux.. so yes. | 21:47 |
| raylu | ward_, with other linux machines or windows? | 21:47 |
| ward_ | I mean can I acces from kubuntu my windows driv | 21:48 |
| ward_ | e | 21:48 |
| * ward_ test | 21:48 | |
| Dr_willis | ward_, linux can read/write to windows filesystems so yes... | 21:48 |
| bjwebb | http://pastebin.ca/796229 | 21:48 |
| bjwebb | raylu: sorry, i jsut thought it was a very genearl question that could be answered easily | 21:49 |
| raylu | ward_, yes, google "ifs ext" | 21:49 |
| raylu | bjwebb, er...do you want kde4 installed or uninstalled? | 21:50 |
| bjwebb | either | 21:50 |
| bjwebb | i don't care | 21:50 |
| bjwebb | i installed it a while ago | 21:50 |
| raylu | then just uninstall it? | 21:50 |
| bjwebb | and all ive done recently is done apt-get update | 21:50 |
| bjwebb | raylu: but will it whilst apt is broke? | 21:50 |
| raylu | apt isn't broken, it's just that | 21:51 |
| raylu | two of the packages are modifying the same ifle | 21:51 |
| raylu | *file | 21:51 |
| ward_ | And can I also acces | 21:51 |
| ward_ | External hard drives? | 21:51 |
| bjwebb | no but apt won't let me do much | 21:51 |
| ward_ | And wich prorgam do I need to use to for example write files from my network to this linux pc on the hdd | 21:53 |
| bjwebb | nvm i think ive fixed it | 21:53 |
| raylu | ward_, from windows machines or linux machines? | 21:54 |
| raylu | and yes, you can access external HDs; these are USB, i assume? | 21:55 |
| ward_ | yes | 21:55 |
| ward_ | USB | 21:55 |
| ward_ | oh damn | 21:58 |
| ward_ | I have a problem :( | 21:58 |
| ward_ | There was an error isntalling MP3 support. You need to install the package "libxine1-fmpeg" manually. | 21:58 |
| ardchoille | ward_: sudo apt-get install libxine1-fmpeg | 21:59 |
| ward_ | how to do? | 22:00 |
| ward_ | sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg | 22:00 |
| ward_ | It's my first time. | 22:00 |
| ardchoille | ward_: open a terminal and type: sudo apt-get install libxine1-fmpeg | 22:00 |
| ardchoille | That will install libxine1-fmpeg for you | 22:00 |

| hydrogen | yep.. because everyone that uses a gui is a wimp | 22:02 |
| hydrogen | the fact that they have a monitor that displays more than shades or gray with a resolution of higher than 80x24 has nothing to do with it | 22:02 |
| ardchoille | I find adept extremely sluggish, I like synaptic | 22:02 |
| Dr_willis | ardchoille, you and most people.. Not sure why its like.. click.. wait 10 sec... click next package... and so on.. | 22:02 |
| ardchoille | Yeah | 22:03 |

| ward_ | Maybe he shows the error because | 22:06 |
| ward_ | Adept is updating? | 22:06 |
| ardchoille | ward_: Right. You can't have more than one package manager front-end opened at a time | 22:06 |
| ward_ | Then I have to wait. | 22:07 |
| ward_ | "update finished" aha nice | 22:07 |
| ardchoille | ward_: Wait for adept to finish, then close it and you can apt-get | 22:07 |
| ward_ | nice I installed my first program. | 22:07 |
| ward_ | Thanks for help. | 22:07 |
| ardchoille | ward_: :) | 22:08 |
| dsmith_ | kubuntu locksup after a period of say a few hours when I walk away from it, any thoughts on where to start to look for issues? | 22:08 |
| ward_ | I would like to make a "file program". Is that possible? | 22:08 |
| ardchoille | dsmith_: Is it locking and requiring a password to unlock, or does it just freeze? | 22:08 |
| Exilant | dsmith_: probably some suspend to ram/disk stuff | 22:08 |
| ward_ | so when I put this pc on I can send with my notebook files to a hard driver internal / external. | 22:08 |
| ardchoille | ward_: Please elaborate | 22:09 |
| dsmith_ | in the past, I was using the sceen saver. I just now shut it off.. | 22:09 |
| Ashex | Does kubuntu take longer then usual to shutdown with Gutsy for anyone else? | 22:09 |
| Ashex | Or is it just me? | 22:09 |
| dsmith_ | Exilant: I was thinking along those lines | 22:09 |
| dsmith_ | this is a laptop | 22:09 |
| ward_ | how you mean?? | 22:10 |
| ward_ | elaborate.. | 22:10 |
| ward_ | work out.. | 22:10 |
| ardchoille | ward_: You can use the file manager for that, and you need to learn more about mounting file systems | 22:10 |
| ardchoille | !mount | 22:10 |
| ubotu | Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Kubuntu, go to System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter | 22:10 |

| Radi01 | loo | 22:10 |
| ward_ | You mean I have to make myself another partition? | 22:11 |
| Dr_willis | You normally install linux to its own partition.. | 22:11 |
| ardchoille | ward_: I recommend these two sites to start with: http://www.kubuntu.org/faq.php and http://www.kubuntu.org/doc/7.10/index/C/index.html | 22:11 |
| BanisterKelly | Is there a way to have Kubuntu shrink down its windows so I can use 800x600? | 22:11 |
| ward_ | Is there also a dutch site of that faq? | 22:12 |
| ardchoille | ward_: I believe there is a Dutch ubuntu channel, but I don't remember the factoid trigger. Dr_willis ? | 22:12 |
| thE_oNE | I'm about to follow http://www.howtoforge.com/ubuntu_feisty_beryl_ati_radeon to install my ati mobile radeon 9000 graphics card + the 3d desktop(Beryl) any other suggestions - better driver install guides? | 22:13 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: Usually you can just resize windows and they'll remember that new size | 22:13 |
| dsmith_ | ardchoille: it just freezes | 22:13 |
| ardchoille | !ati | thE_oNE | 22:13 |
| thE_oNE | ok thanks did try there was dead :( | 22:13 |
| BanisterKelly | Well, some things I run in 800x600 are too big and go off the screen. I am trying to get used to 1024x768. | 22:13 |
| ubotu | thE_oNE: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 22:13 |

| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: Have you installed the nvidia drivers? | 22:14 |
| ward_ | Linux is nice | 22:15 |
| BanisterKelly | Not that I know of, Fresh install. | 22:15 |
| ardchoille | !nvidia | BanisterKelly Have a look here: | 22:15 |
| ubotu | BanisterKelly Have a look here:: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 22:15 |
| BanisterKelly | Live CD 7.10 install. | 22:15 |
| BanisterKelly | I am there. | 22:15 |
| ardchoille | Ok | 22:15 |
| BanisterKelly | I clicked on it the first time it appeared. | 22:15 |

| thE_oNE | anyone using Beryl on Kubu? | 22:17 |
| ardchoille | !beryl | thE_oNE | 22:17 |
| ubotu | thE_oNE: Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion. New Beryl installs are discouraged. See also !compiz | 22:17 |
| ardchoille | !compiz | 22:17 |
| ubotu | 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 | 22:17 |
| thE_oNE | ah great thanks for the info | 22:17 |
| BanisterKelly | I am confused. | 22:18 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: ? | 22:18 |
| thE_oNE | Compiz is sexy guys | 22:18 |
| BanisterKelly | It says to go to advanced tab and there is no advanced tab under system settings. | 22:18 |
| BanisterKelly | Says to go to restricted drivers. | 22:18 |
| BanisterKelly | Don't see it. | 22:18 |
| BanisterKelly | As of Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) the recommended way to install the binary driver is to open System Settings KMenu → System Settings, go to the Advanced tab and click Restricted Drivers. Then click the Administrator Mode button and check the box marked Enable to install the driver. This should install the right package for your card and set it up for you. | 22:19 |
| BanisterKelly | I think they left something out. | 22:19 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: Your system settings only has the General tab? | 22:19 |
| BanisterKelly | No tabs at all. | 22:20 |
| BanisterKelly | Just a start menu like the Windows 9x does. | 22:20 |
| BanisterKelly | But it looks all different, of course. | 22:20 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: Which version of Kubuntu are you running? lsb_release | grep Release | 22:20 |
| ward_ | Ok i'm going to sleep. | 22:20 |
| BanisterKelly | I installed from Kubuntu Live CD I downloaded this mornin. | 22:21 |

| BanisterKelly | Be right back. | 22:23 |
| neville | :/ | 22:24 |

| Kohlrabi | "sudo envy -t"? *cough* | 22:27 |
| ardchoille | Envy is neither supported nor needed | 22:27 |

| Kohlrabi | OK, sorry :( | 22:27 |

| BanisterKelly | Release: 7.10 | 22:29 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: That's Gutsy. No idea why your system settings has no Advanced tab :( | 22:30 |
| BanisterKelly | I know I went to do updates and it kept crashing on a fresh install. Something about something. Cannot remember. | 22:31 |
| beefjerky | i am having problems with Knetworkmanager - it used to automatically connect to my wifi network. Now it starts, and immediately goes to the white box with an X in it. Upon right-clicking, and clicking on my | 22:31 |
| BanisterKelly | Ready. to install drivers. | 22:32 |
| beefjerky | SSID, it will connect | 22:32 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: Well, I can walk you through installing nvidia drivers via the command line, it's up to you | 22:32 |
| BanisterKelly | Lets try it. | 22:32 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: Ok, open a terminal | 22:32 |
| * Dr_willis is back | 22:32 | |
| beefjerky | Also, there's a new entry under "wireless networks": hpsetup - wtf is this? | 22:33 |
| beefjerky | i just want it to auto-connect like it did before | 22:33 |
| BanisterKelly | Ready | 22:33 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: Let's make sure your restricted modules are installed: apt-cache policy linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` | grep Installed | 22:33 |
| BanisterKelly | bash: pt-cache: command not found | 22:34 |
| ardchoille | you missed the "a" | 22:34 |
| ardchoille | apt-cache, not pt-cache | 22:34 |
| BanisterKelly | Installed: 2.6.22.4-14.10 | 22:35 |
| bascule | beefjerky: is it in the trusted networks? | 22:35 |
| beefjerky | bascule: yes | 22:36 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: Good, now we'll install the drivers: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx | 22:36 |
| beefjerky | bascule: there is a black X next to my SSID now, though =/ | 22:36 |
| bascule | isn't that the connected indicator? | 22:37 |
| beefjerky | bascule: you know what - it probably is :) | 22:37 |
| bascule | :) | 22:37 |
| bascule | is the pass[hrase saved? | 22:37 |
| beefjerky | bascule: but why is there this "hpsetup" listed? | 22:37 |
| beefjerky | bascule: yup, once i click on my SSID, it will connect without having to enter the WPA | 22:38 |
| BanisterKelly | Done. | 22:38 |
| BanisterKelly | Thank you for the help. | 22:38 |
| bascule | that sounds like a wi-fi printer hp, just a guess | 22:38 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: Now we need to enable the drivers: sudo nvidia-glx-config enable | 22:38 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: We're not done yet :) | 22:38 |
| beefjerky | bascule: yeah, but I don't have one, and there's no other houses around me... this problem started when i took my laptop out and connected to other wireless networks | 22:39 |
| BanisterKelly | Warning: your X configuration has been succesfully changed. | 22:39 |
| BanisterKelly | In order to take full advantage of the changes, X needs to | 22:39 |
| BanisterKelly | be restarted. | 22:39 |
| bascule | beefjerky: try removing them from the trusted networks, the other wi-fis that is | 22:39 |
| beefjerky | bascule: now i have this weird entry under "wireless networks" (doesn't really bother me), and it won't connect automatically | 22:39 |
| beefjerky | bascule: the other one isn't listed in trusted or untrusted ... weird, huh? | 22:40 |
| BanisterKelly | Ready. | 22:40 |
| BanisterKelly | Do I reboot now? | 22:40 |
| bascule | beefjerky: yeah, every network i habe ever connected to is in my list | 22:40 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: Ok, now open xorg.conf for editing: kdesudo kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 22:40 |
| BanisterKelly | Opened | 22:41 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: Ok, in kate, go to the section marked: Section "Device" and you'll see the current Driver (it's probably nv) | 22:42 |
| beefjerky | bascule: what should my "default gateway" be set to? | 22:42 |
| bascule | the wpa you are using | 22:42 |
| bascule | wap rather | 22:42 |

| _michael | Hello I'm looking to upgrade to Gutsy, but I certainly don't want the full contents of the kubuntu-desktop meta package. Is there a way to upgrade only upgrading packages I currently have installed. | 22:44 |
| beefjerky | bascule: do i need to enter anything in "domain name"? | 22:44 |
| ardchoille | _michael: Are you running Kubuntu now? | 22:45 |
| Mr_President | hi everybody! | 22:45 |
| bascule | beefjerky: no not really unless you use multiple hosts ina domain that isn't in DNS records :) | 22:45 |
| beefjerky | bascule: nope... at least no problems there =) | 22:45 |
| beefjerky | bascule: ok, now that "hpsetup" has disappeared! very strange | 22:46 |
| Exilant | _michael: there is, but dependencies just run amok if the metapackages aren't there | 22:46 |
| bascule | _michael: it will only update what is there in erms of downloads and installs, the packae lists reflect all updated versions though | 22:47 |
| Shao` | Anyone gotten a HP PSC 1110 to work with kooka and/or xsane here? It's recognized but kooka says it's not a sane scanner, and xsane just locks up when trying to select the scanner | 22:47 |
| gustavo | hi! can someone give a iptables basic rules? (for security) like anti-dos attack, ping of death... something like it? | 22:47 |
| _michael | ardchoille: Yes 7.04 and I don't want everything in kubuntu-desktop to be installed again since I've removed many things from it. Should I just manually edit my sources.list and "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade"? | 22:47 |
| bascule | beefjerky: well I dunno what it was so I am kind of glad to here that | 22:47 |
| beefjerky | bascule: me too - now is there a way i can test to see if it will auto-connect to my network? | 22:47 |
| ardchoille | _michael: I think even that will cause problems. you really need to have the meta-package installed to have a safer upgrade | 22:48 |
| bascule | beefjerky: sudo killall NetworkManager && sudo NetworkManager | 22:48 |
| _michael | ardchoille: Ok then is it better to upgrade off of the alternate cd or from the internet? | 22:51 |
| ardchoille | _michael: Seeing that the packages in the repos are more current than those of the cd, I feel it's better to upgrade from the internet so you don't double your work. | 22:52 |
| ardchoille | !upgrade | _michael | 22:52 |
| ubotu | _michael: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 22:52 |

| BanisterKelly | I am installing 48 under Edutainment. | 23:08 |

| MaTiAz | In a world without fences and walls, who needs Gates and Windows? ;) | 23:13 |
| ardchoille | MaTiAz: Exactly | 23:14 |
| BanisterKelly | I cannot live without 98 and my most used software/games, and especially DOS mode. | 23:14 |

| MaTiAz | BanisterKelly: you could try dosbox :P | 23:14 |
| chx | BanisterKelly: dosbox | 23:14 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: I'd be willing to bet you can find equivalent apps in Linux for your Windows apps | 23:14 |
| chx | ardchoille: your bet is wrong, though. TortoiseCVS or SVN has no match. | 23:15 |
| ardchoille | BanisterKelly: Sadly, gaming is one area where Linux is still behind the times, but it's getting better. | 23:15 |
| neville | But this is a world WITH gates and walls, unfortunately | 23:15 |
| BanisterKelly | I don't play alot of games and the ones I do are mostly card/board games. Hoyle is one I have loads of. | 23:15 |

| BanisterKelly | Linux might not be big in the game department, but it does have one I will stay playing for hours. Midssile Command. | 23:17 |
| BanisterKelly | Missile Command | 23:17 |
