[00:00] Hi. Im using kubuntu 7.10 and currently / and /home are in the same partition. I want that /home point to another partition in my disc (currently, /media/Documents). I moved all files from / to /media/Documents using konqueror and changed fstab, but after reboot kde couldnt start, so i had to restore fstab. How can i change the location of /home?? [00:01] . [00:04] astrid: I'm not sure, but I think perhaps that's something need to be changed when you make the user/group.. [00:05] so, does anyone have an idea why adept manager behaves differently from command-line usage ? [00:06] kind of annoying when you've finally found a usable linux for someone that doesn't spend 22hours of the day nerding by the computer, and the so-called super stability everyone talks 'bout breaks in a thousand pieces.. [00:07] ronnie_: erm? [00:07] *sigh* [00:07] i doubt adept calls apt-get [00:08] adept and apt-get are totally different apps [00:08] there's no command-line usage in adept really [00:08] they are ? how come ? [00:08] i think they both call dpk and stuff [00:08] ronnie_: there's like 100 different apps you can use for apt [00:09] ronnie_: most famous are: adept, synaptic, apt-get, aptitude and wajig [00:09] dpk is a system general to debian, and apt is for ubuntu ? [00:09] no [00:09] apt uses dpkg [00:10] oh ok [00:10] hey all I have a philips go gear on mp3 player and everytime i try to mount it I get the following error: mount:wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sde1, missing codepage or helper program [00:10] wich system would be the easiest, yet most reliable for updating/upgrading ? [00:10] posingaspopular: what filesystem it has? [00:10] i should mention it is one of those 'OMG windows is awesome!!one1' types [00:10] Tm_T: fat32 [00:10] ronnie_: I would say wajig, but for you prolly synaptic [00:10] i can paste the dmesg | tail output [00:11] Tm_T: thanks. wajig, is that command-line based ? [00:12] yes, actually it is just "wrapper" for apt-get and friends [00:12] I'm not new to linux, just been quite a while since I played around with it, and have been impressed over the user-friendly kubuntu. [00:13] roger [00:16] if I remove adept from my system, and install synaptic, will it behave the same way? I'm thinking of when new packages are available, will it give a warning ? === darkness is now known as darkness_s [00:17] hi everybody [00:19] ronnie_: yes, they are pretty similar [00:19] hey, if i install gnome in kubuntu, should i leave kdm as default, or should i choose gdm? [00:19] synaptic is quite good [00:20] how can I make OpenGL work in gutsy? [00:20] darkness_s: depends on if you want gnome or kde as your desktop manager [00:20] Exilant: great thanks, I also see adept has several packages, adept, adept-manager, adept-updater etc, is synaptic one complete of all these ? [00:21] posingaspopular: i want to keep kde, but i want to test gnome [00:21] ronnie_: i think so, though it might require some extra packages on a really pure kde system [00:22] im pretty sure you can swap out between dm's if you want at login [00:23] Exilant: Ok thank you [00:23] posingaspopular: thanks [00:24] darm [00:24] , [00:24] argh [00:25] darkness_s: download the ubuntu livecd and give gnome a try..if you want to install it, keeping kdm will work just fine.. but as posingaspopular said, if you end up going gnome full time, it would probably make more sense to switch to gdm [00:26] i just downloaded google earth linux and its sitting on my desktop as a .bin how do i install it? [00:27] i just downloaded google earth linux and its sitting on my desktop as a .bin how do i install it? [00:27] just installed kubuntu and finished the updates and all. When adept was done, it told me that there was a new version available and to click next to continue [00:27] hi there, im trying to burn an mpeg to dvd media [00:27] i dont seem to know a program for linux that does that [00:27] joseph: can you rightclick it and see if the DM can choose program to run it with ? [00:27] would anyone be able to offer some suggestions? [00:27] needles: K3B [00:28] k3b doesn't author mpegs [00:28] open with wine or open with other [00:28] ronnie_: i mean like, mpeg to dvd format for a dvd player [00:28] needles: iirc, devede can do that [00:28] needles: hm, I was sure k3b handled that, but I could be wrong hehe [00:28] excitatory: thank you === blendtux is now known as blendtux-away [00:30] i am using kubuntu 7.10, how do i findout my dbus version? [00:31] just installed kubuntu 7.10 and the static in the sound is terrible [00:31] is there a fix? [00:31] ardchoille: does devede just make an iso image? [00:31] needles: you can use dvdauthor, it is command line only though. [00:31] needles: yes [00:31] joseph: the website has instructions, but generally you make it executable (chmod +x nameofbinfile.bin) then run it: sudo ./nameofbinfile.bin [00:31] tazz: apt-cache policy dbus [00:32] ardchoille: ah, i see [00:32] just installed kubuntu 7.10 and the static in the sound is terrible [00:32] is there a fix? [00:32] what about a nero-esque program that just transcodes and burns to dvd as it goes along? [00:32] joseph: getdeb.net might have a deb as well.. [00:33] michael: open up kmix (click the speaker in system tray), then play with the switches tab.. some chipsets act funny with certain swtiches on, especially nforce 5.1 chipsets.. [00:33] ardchoille: thanks [00:34] cool ok [00:34] tazz: yw [00:34] needles: you can try this guide: [00:34] http://www.greenfly.org/talks/multimedia/dvd.html [00:35] !videotrans [00:35] Sorry, I don't know anything about videotrans - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:35] !info videotrans [00:35] videotrans: DVD authoring utilities. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.6.0-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 69 kB, installed size 324 kB === ronnie_ is now known as Lycaon [00:39] for any programmers who might be on [00:39] a new goal: a linux nero copy [00:39] so that burning mpegs to dvd movies is easier [00:39] there isn't one that i can find that makes it easy [00:39] devede makes an iso, but i dont have the hd space to spare === Lycaon is now known as Inor === Inor is now known as Cold_Inz [01:04] needles: I can get you a hard drive if you need one [01:05] * Tm_T dances [01:07] couldn't k3b do it? [01:08] dunno, always used the command line, maybe it's just vcd [01:16] NO! Nero is one of the reasons I don't use Windows. [01:16] lol.. [01:17] needles: I don't believe that nero or roxio can create a CD or DVD without creating the iso first, though they may not call it an iso. [01:18] What are you trying to do? Transcode video to a DVD? [01:19] dvd is mpeg2 [01:19] There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. [01:19] I get this error every time I use adept [01:20] whats up? [01:20] you can actually burn a dvd without creating an iso first, growisofs will take a directory as input and an device as output [01:21] restarting [01:28] I just installed gutsy [01:29] I noticed a chip (guess its for the video card), but I was playing with it and it disappeared [01:30] in the system tray [01:30] bottom right of the screen [01:31] how do I get it back and enable my nvidia card? [01:31] for 3d support [01:31] I just switched from Suse 10.3 cause they cant get my card working [01:32] anyone awake in here? [01:32] how do i tell locate(1) that i want it to search for ALL the terms not ANY of them? [01:32] you're awake in here [01:32] lol yeah, ONLY one [01:33] I wish I could help you man, but i'm somewhat of a newbie [01:35] where does one get help for kubuntu? [01:36] here and forums and #ubuntu [01:36] !patience | michael [01:36] michael: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [01:36] michael: I just arrived. What is your problem? [01:37] wow, I didnt mean to sound like I had a bad additude [01:37] just asking a question....honestly [01:37] michael: I know, it was just reminder :) [01:38] ok :) got ya [01:38] michael: go to KMenu--System Preferences [01:38] then click the advanced tab [01:38] <|Jason8|MK|> Hello everyone. I have access to highspeed internet tonight, so I want to download the newest version of Kubuntu. I saw that there's a DVD and a CD version to download. Does the DVD version have more packages included? [01:38] I just switched from Suse 10.3 cause they cant get my card working [01:38] I noticed a chip (guess its for the video card), but I was playing with it and it disappeared [01:38] |Jason8|MK|: sorta yes [01:38] michael: go to KMenu--System Preferences [01:38] and advanced tab [01:38] how do I get it back and enable my nvidia card? [01:39] ok [01:39] system settings maybe? [01:39] yep [01:39] ok there [01:40] michael: It's going to be "Restricted Driver Manager" [01:40] <|Jason8|MK|> How far along has 64 bit support come along? [01:40] ahh [01:40] cool [01:40] |Jason8|MK|: all the way? [01:41] <|Jason8|MK|> Are most of the programs ported to 64 bit nowadays? I know about a year ago, there wasn't really anything "easy to use" in 64 bit [01:41] Another process is using the packaging system database (probably some other Adept application or apt-get or aptitude) [01:41] I get this error [01:41] |Jason8|MK|: thumb of rule: if you don't need 64bit, don't use it [01:42] <|Jason8|MK|> Tm_T, okay, that's what I was asking. Thanks. [01:42] michael: is adept open? [01:42] hehe [01:42] |Jason8|MK|: shouldn't be much headache anymore but... [01:42] umm, no [01:42] (not now) [01:42] :o) [01:43] Hi,anyone here [01:43] hi [01:43] no [01:44] Tm_T [01:44] heinkel_111: yes? [01:44] Ah!so many [01:44] FYI: I've just dropped the 32 bit partition [01:44] hey actually I still get the error even if adept is closed [01:44] can you help me about kde4rc [01:44] !adeptfix [01:44] heinkel_111: um? [01:44] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [01:45] Tm_T: you asked about 64 bits? [01:45] I have done that before and last time my pc refused to boot again [01:45] is kde4 available in gutsy? [01:45] heinkel_111: no I didn't ask [01:45] (after an update) [01:45] Myle!Iwant to say yes [01:45] michael: try doing that again [01:45] ok [01:45] !kde4 [01:45] KDE 4 is the next major release of the K Desktop Environment. For more information see . The Release Schedule is available at http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Schedule. RC 1 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php [01:45] Tm_T: oh bummer i misread then....checking... aha..you replied and i disagree [01:46] heinkel_111: feel free to disagree :) [01:46] heinkel_111: I wonder what part though? [01:46] Tm_T and |Jason8|MK| : I recommend 64 bit for 64 bit machines [01:46] ubotu : can you tell me howto [01:46] "event not found" [01:46] based on my experience, I am not missing any real useful software anymore [01:47] heinkel_111: ok, and gains? [01:47] nyle: check www.kubuntu.com [01:47] <|Jason8|MK|> heinkel_111, I'm downloading the 64-bit version just because I felt like it. [01:47] Tm_T: general performance is better [01:47] heinkel_111: any measures? :) [01:48] Nyle:are you english_speak [01:48] Tm_T probably lots but I have noticed procedures like ripping CDs are much faster on the 64 bit. [01:48] Hmm. You mean the actual 'encoding' of wav to mp3/ogg [01:48] lvjiabin: yes [01:48] 32 bit version works a heck of alot better (as in setting up things to work) [01:49] but gtg, cooking jambalaya on screen 3 [01:49] "event not found" [01:49] heinkel_111: I mean, without hard test numbers I can't sau a thing ;) [01:49] I agree 32 bit is more stable. [01:49] heinkel_111: anyway, !worksforme ;) [01:49] Nyle:aha ,can you help me [01:49] true, Tm_T: how about 16-bit ? ;-= [01:49] heinkel_111: I still use it [01:49] win 95? [01:49] michael: can you use the restricted manager now? === heinkel_111 is now known as Heinkel|afk [01:50] checking [01:50] Radi01: trying to insult? [01:50] Heinkel|afk: nooooooooo [01:50] loo no [01:50] En ,howto install kde4? [01:50] Actually win95/c,is still the most stable win pgm. [01:50] lvjiabin: see topic [01:51] How come Xine conntrol my volume ?? [01:51] tricky: because... it's configured so? [01:51] Tm_T:my poor English [01:51] lvjiabin: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php [01:51] darkness_s: no [01:52] should I restart? [01:52] Tm_T: I have to open xine to raise the volume of an other apps...ex. youtube video ...if i shut Xine , volume get back low [01:52] Tm-T:I cant grap what is discribe below! [01:52] michael: easy way: rebbot, long way: try ps -A |grep adept on a terminal [01:52] I'm having a problem with ManDVD; when I load the binary, I get the message "error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open". Could this be because this is a 64bit machine? [01:53] These KDE 4 packages install to /usr/lib/kde4 so run: [01:53] export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/lib [01:53] export KDEDIRS=/usr/lib/kde4 [01:53] export PATH=/usr/lib/kde4/bin/:$PATH [01:53] export KDEHOME=~/.kde4 [01:53] k [01:53] lvjiabin: don't flood [01:53] trying long way first [01:53] Yes,but what they mean？ [01:53] result: 00:00:10 adept_notifier [01:54] that good? [01:54] lol [01:54] lvjiabin: I recommend you not to try KDE4 yet if you don't know [01:54] michael: that shows that adept is not running [01:54] ahh ok, guess I'll try again [01:55] michael: maybe apt-get is your problem [01:55] Tm_T: Thanks!! [01:55] still no go [01:56] maybe it is [01:56] how do I kill it? [01:56] michael: try KSysGuard and search for apt-get or aptitude [01:56] Tm_T:I konw! [01:56] Thanks! [01:57] sorry, but where is the ksysguard at? [01:58] michael: alt+F2 and write it and hit enter [01:58] michael: or try KMenu--System--KSysGuard [01:59] alt f2 worked [01:59] usually quicker [01:59] I get the same error, that its being used [01:59] alt-space ksys ? :) [02:00] Dr_willis: hrrrr [02:00] Dr_willis: i didn't know about that one [02:00] katapult - is handy [02:01] ...for some people yes :p [02:01] wait maybe it was a previous error I failed to close out, cause I tried it again and I didnt get the same response [02:01] Just use the windows answer! - REBOOT! :) [02:02] ho bisogno di aiuto [02:02] help for italian man [02:02] !it | francesco [02:02] francesco: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! [02:03] when I type in adept or aptitude in the command prompt (alt f2) nothing happens [02:04] do I rebbot pc or restart x? [02:04] michael: try ps -A | grep apt [02:04] ok [02:04] in alt f2? [02:05] or konsole? [02:05] man, I am so dumb at this [02:05] konsole [02:05] feel like a retard [02:05] lol [02:06] didnt get a response out of either one (alt f2 or konsole) [02:07] still didnt work [02:07] wont let me enable driver [02:07] michael: then i guess you should just reboot [02:07] ok [02:09] how can i clean up the disk cache? [02:10] disk cache in where? [02:10] in ram [02:11] and why do you think its dirty? :) [02:11] lol [02:11] Dr_willis: lol [02:12] Dr_willis: cause i opened MS paint [02:12] with wine [02:12] lol [02:12] why you need to clean it? [02:12] why you opened M$ Paint in the 1st place? [02:12] i don't need to, i was just wondering [02:12] darkness_s: I'd say no [02:13] (yes but non-trivial) [02:13] darkness_s: Linux is quite better at managing memory than "that other OS" [02:13] ardchoille: what's wrong with BeOS ? [02:13] lol! [02:13] *ouch* [02:14] ardchoille: i know, i just wanted to know how to do that [02:14] darkness_s: Not really necessary.. akin to disk defrag ;) [02:14] where can download dock for ubuntu ??

Every time I start linux, the sound only comes out of the right speaker. If I open Kmix and move the balance slider, the left channel comes in and everything works fine from there. [02:58] Can someone tell me how to make it "stick" so I don't have to do this every time I boot? [02:59] shouldn't have to boot [02:59] but once a month [03:00] you can use alsactl to save your mixer settings [03:00] That's not answering my question though. ;) [03:00] scrubb2000: well, the dirty way is to write a script that runs at bootup, using amixer or alsamixer (or dcop+kmix) [03:00] heh [03:00] I know... [03:01] technicaly if you restart alsa it should save the current mixer settings and then restore that saved settings [03:01] I'm not sure it's running ALSA. The hardware setting is "autodetect" [03:01] Should I just force ALSA? [03:01] its linux.. your running alsa [03:01] I have a similar problem with nvidia-settings. Gamma doesn't "stick", so I had to add 'nvidia-settings -l' to a startup script [03:02] !alsa [03:02] 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.

[03:49] Is update-manager a GTK app? [03:52] ok, i got knetworkmanager up and running again, but now it just reads "manual network configuration", and doesn't show "wireless networks" like it used to. what gives? [03:53] ardchoille: Yes.

[03:55] If so, just detect the user and use that user's kde theme [03:56] Well, IMHO, an app running as root should use root's settings and an app running as user should use user settings.

(It's /dev/sdb1 and /media/disk) [05:05] You can always make a link from /media/disk to the desktop [05:06] I just add things like that to the konqueror bookmarks also. :) [05:07] ardchoille: Any download attempt crashes Firefox. Any idea? [05:08] Thank you Dr_willis [05:09] draik: Are there any files in ~/.mozilla owned by root? [05:09] draik: find .mozilla -user root [05:11] ardchoille: Nope [05:12] how do I install a kde theme that I downloaded?

Thanks for your help [05:12] navetz, themes under kde are a little bit more complex then they first appear. [05:13] * _beata_ asks if anyone happens to know of/have an all-in-wonder working with feisty or gutsy. He's gotten it *partly* working, but hasn't yet found an howto for gatos that's recent enough to actuall work. [05:13] Dr_willis: alright, well for now I just want to change the icons [05:13] could load up the icon theme tool and drag the them to it. [05:14] Dr_willis: The issue is that when I login (from hard or soft boot), the drive isn't there. I have to unplug it and plug it back in for it to be recognized. [05:14] <_beata_> Heh. The thing I'd really like is to get gtk/gnome apps to correctly draw their menu bar. [05:15] Dr_willis: Where is the icon theme tool, I see install new theme in the icons section of apperance, but I dont know how to select the theme because there are just a bunch of icons the in folder of themes [05:15] draik, you could just make a fstab entry for it. so it dosent need to 'automount' [05:15] <_beata_> draik: USB drive? It des that to me on occation, but fixes itself. :/ [05:16] navetz, i think you can drag the whole icontheme.tgz or whatever over the icons theme controlpanel. [05:16] I rarely mess with the theme stuff so i may be wrong, It does worj that way for some other themes [05:16] other theme parts at least. :) [05:16] Dr_willis: k ill try it thanks [05:16] not using kde at the moment so i cant test [05:18] Dr_willis: it worked, thank you === koto is now known as uuflu === uuflu is now known as UUflu [05:19] so logical eh. :) [05:20] that installs that icon themne for that user only. [05:20] Does anybody know how to upgrade to kde4? === |Aryn|_ is now known as |Aryn| [05:21] Hiya. I'd like to set up my "windows" key as a shortcut for accessing the K menu. I found the "Popup Launch Menu" entry in the system settings, but it refuses to let me use JUST the windows key. It wants me to use at least two keys, when I only want to use the one. How do I fix this? === Heinkel|afk is now known as heinkel_111 [05:25] Selanit, im not sure thats doable [05:25] the 'windows key' is a special meta-key. called the 'super' key [05:28] Dr_willis: I've just been studying the "modifier keys" tab, and I see the win key listed there. Perhaps I can edit some configuration file somewhere to get it treated as a regular key. I'll keep looking. I know that Gnome can do this, so it's not an inherent limitation. It might well be a base assumption of KDE, though. [05:28] gnome assumes the user cant handle 2 keys. at once [05:29] does anyone know why my programs (autostart items) and just programs in general (e.g. firefox) will attempt to load and take a long time to load, or not load at all sometimes? [05:29] Hey Guys... [05:30] And KDE appears to assume that user will never want less than 2 keys. I'd rather have a system where I can either have a single-key shortcut OR a multi-key shortcut. [05:30] shaffy: no doubt you committed some grave sin in a previous life, for which this is a just punishment. ^_^ [05:30] Selanit: too bad.. hehe [05:31] I just went through and tried to get 7.10 loaded on an external USB drive... The loading went fine,but when it came to loading the boot loader it seemed to fail... [05:31] Perhaps I should say installing the boot loader... [05:31] I belive thers some manual tweaking ya have to do to get a ExternalUSb drive bootable. === UUflu is now known as olo === olo is now known as oYo [05:33] I'm installing Grub on the primary drive... so it shouldn't be too hard... but the grub installer on Kubuntu seems not to install on the correct partition... [05:34] does anyone know why my programs (autostart items) and just programs in general (e.g. firefox) will attempt to load and take a long time to load, or not load at all sometimes? [05:34] Or should I say the MBR... [05:35] I recall under the older releases you had to use the alternative install cd. and manually run the update-grub thing from the console. [05:36] anyone who can tell me how to compile linux kernel under ubuntu? [05:36] !kernel [05:36] The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [05:38] but i'd like to design my own kernel that contains the drivers of my machine. [05:38] Hello, new to the linux world so thought I would pop in here and say hi :D [05:38] is there any way i can use user's quota and group's quota if i just have one partition? [05:57] !module | me [05:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about module - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [05:59] !jdk [05:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about jdk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:00] !java [06:00] To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) or earlier. [06:01] that is so outdated [06:03] Dr_willis: got it working. I found an FAQ that answered my question. Here: http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdebase/faq/panel.html#id2552777 [06:04] Selanit, great!... err.. what was the question... [06:04] :P === wayne_ is now known as Joerg [06:05] Dr_willis: I wanted my windows key to open the menu, all by itself, and was having problems because KDE assumes that the windows key is ALWAYS a modifier key, never a single key by itself. [06:05] So now the official answer is read the kde faq! :) [06:06] I was messing around with my xorg.conf before I got to the FAQ. None of the google searches I tried actually brought up that FAQ until I started throwing in stuff from xorg.conf. [06:07] my poor keyboard.. i got the tops wore off the A/S/D/W keys.. so now they show the blue lights underneeth and you cant tell what the letters are on them [06:07] guess i go play some games and wear them down some more. [06:07] :) [06:08] It seems like a bad UI choice to force users to choose between win as a single key and win as a modifier key. It should be capable of acting as both. [06:08] Oh, well.

Just ask your question :) [06:55] heh ok ^_^ [06:55] well i installed [06:55] hi, im recording 2 streams with streamtuner, and now i have 2 konsole windows. is it possible to have just 1 window with tabs? [06:56] yes [06:56] and when it rebooted [06:56] i cant get to the gui [06:56] someone told me to try "startx" [06:56] <[ifr0g]> edi, ctrl + n [06:56] Grav3Mind: Does it just stop at the splashscreen? [06:56] <[ifr0g]> edi, ctrl +shift + n [06:56] edi, [ifr0g]: Ctrl+Shift+N [06:56] well it loads the blue bar all the way across [06:57] <[ifr0g]> ha,:)) [06:57] then it gives a few errors about resolution [06:57] Grav3Mind: You can press Ctrl+Alt+F[any key 1-6] [06:57] for text consoles [06:57] it loads to the text console [06:57] While in a text console you can indeed try startx and look at the output [06:57] and someone told me to try startx [06:57] then F7 is the first graphical console if X is running.. [06:58] (ctrl-alt-f7) [06:58] well when i typed startx [06:58] the screen went blck and a CRAPLOAD of text scrolls and then i get to see that last part of it [06:58] i cant even see it all [06:58] i think its my graphics card [06:58] You can scroll up with Shift+PgU [06:58] shift + page-up and shift + page-down [06:59] Grav3Mind: what graphics card you have? [06:59] hmm.. streamtuner starts streamripper with: x-terminal-emulator -e streamripper %q ,but how tell him to use a tab of the allready opened window? [06:59] opensuse,ubuntu,xubuntu,kubuntu and fedora wont work. Geofrce fx 5500 pci with 256 megs of ram [06:59] Grav3Mind: In either case you can "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh" [07:00] and what will that do [07:00] <--- is a totaly linux newbie trying to learn === koto is now known as oYo [07:00] Grav3Mind: that command will let you reconfigure the graphics part of xorg with a few menus [07:00] will i know what to do? or will i need to know commands? [07:01] You can choose what drivers, resulotion and that sort [07:01] It's just arrows and enter basicly ;) [07:01] well ill try that and then ill come back here if it doesnt work ^_^ [07:01] Try the "nv" driver [07:01] thanks guys [07:01] NP ;) [07:01] i really appreciate it....ive been at this for a week or two [07:02] bye for now guys ^_^ [07:02] any suggestions to start "x-terminal-emulator -e streamripper %q" in a konsole tab? [07:03] anyone there. [07:03] instead than opening in a new window [07:03] wah wah my sound doesn't work [07:03] mine does ;p [07:04] give me your sound [07:04] here, take it [07:05] no but serious what is up [07:05] i dont know [07:06] crazy6: have you tried running alsamixer from a console and check that nothing is muted and that the sound levels aren't extremly low? [07:06] Anyone having trouble connecting to MSN using Kopete? I try to connect, then with no error, the butterfly icon goes grey and stops trying to connect. (But Kopete can connect to AIM.)

Wonder if there's a fix; I'll let you know if I find it. [07:09] Sajes: my whole kopete crashes, not the same as you [07:10] Sajes: if you run kopete from a terminal do you get any weird output trying to connect to MSN? [07:12] Azzco: I'm not sure. Let me try. [07:12] anyone here familliar with ctags? [07:13] Azzco: turned everything up, unmuted em all [07:13] Azzco: Yes, I get two lines. one is "kopete: ERROR: Communication problem with kopete, it probably crashed." , and the other is "Error: "/var/tmp/kdecache-dakota" is owned by uid 1000 instead of uid 0" [07:14] Sajes: I get this...http://pastebin.com/d47920713 [07:14] crazy6: and sound still doesn't work? [07:15] i am trying to install on a computer that had onboard graphics, but i am using a PCI nvidia card.... however, upon running the install CD, it detects the onboard graphics and not the PCI card, and then X will not start. will i have to remove the PCI card and install using the onboard, then install the PCI card or is there some kind ofcheatcode i can use to accomplish this at boot? [07:15] Azzco: yeah, not working still... arts is running though [07:15] jmichaelx: disable onboard video through BIOS. [07:16] Azzco: Loading. I'm on dial up.. so.. well.. You get the idea. :\ [07:16] crazy6: sorry I'm not really a pro at sound =/ [07:16] Sajes: i have looked through my bios and see no way of doing that [07:16] hey guys im bacjk [07:16] *back [07:16] n/m lol I was being stupid [07:16] How did it go Grav3Mind? [07:16] jmichaelx: Disable the onboard video in the BIOS. [07:16] well it didnt bring up any choices [07:17] jmichaelx: Oh. I don't know what to tell you then. sorry :s [07:17] jmichaelx: my onboard video settings was hidden deep inside a menu I can't remember [07:17] it just says "warning overwriting setting" or soemthing like that [07:17] * Crell reads up and sees someone just said that... [07:17] Sajes: no problem...i appreciate the suggestion [07:17] Ignore me! [07:17] Azzco: That's a mean error :( [07:17] lol @ Crell [07:17] i can go look like the screen and type it exactly if you want [07:18] Grav3Mind: What was the command you wrote? [07:18] hmm.... i looked all through my BIOS, but i guess I can look again [07:18] Sure Grav3Mind [07:18] It may be under "advanced features" or something, or "integrated peripherals." [07:18] is it possible to run a single command line as root on startup *without* having to enter a password? [07:18] it's an old P3, seems like it has fewer options than it should have [07:18] vbgunz: An init script, perhaps? [07:19] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh [07:19] thats what i typed [07:19] Crell: not sure where to start [07:19] vbgunz: Iunno, but that'd potentially be dangerous I'd think. [07:19] I just want to run umount -a [07:19] Why?? :-) [07:19] I cannot do it as a regular user... I need to be root [07:19] Crell: to try and workaround a bug [07:19] Odd... [07:20] Grav3Mind: if you're unsure what you write but you know the command you hav tab auto-completition ;) But that looked right [07:20] ....umm what? [07:20] lol [07:20] Well, you'd want a script, or more likely a symlink to a script, named S99dostuff placed in your /etc/init.d/rcX.d/ directory where X is your runlevel. [07:21] Most of the files there are symlinks to something in /etc/init.d/ [07:21] Er, /etc/rcX.d [07:21] Grav3Mind: type sudo dpkg-re then tab and you'll see what I mean [07:21] * Grav3Mind runs to other computer [07:21] Crell: sounds great. found them. which runlevel is root :) [07:22] runlevel != user. [07:22] ......command not found? [07:22] o.O [07:22] lol [07:23] sudo apt-get install xorg? lol [07:23] How do I get root privileges for firestarter. [07:23] Crell: I don't think I would want to put it in rcS.d .. the README states, mounting, etc takes place after that dir has been run [07:24] Hm. Ok, scratch that. [07:24] as for runlevels, not sure what they are, I'll google for something [07:24] Azzco [07:24] im a moron [07:24] lol [07:24] i forgot the tab part [07:24] it said choose package to configure [07:25] Crell: probably and most likely runlevel 5 [07:25] and when i did sudo apt-get install xorg [07:25] it said newest version install [07:25] *installed [07:25] it didnt really do anything [07:25] lol [07:25] SOOO whats next? [07:25] ^__^ [07:25] Crell: the bug has to do with mounts not showing up on the desktop mounted or not... [07:25] !runlevel [07:25] Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:26] Azzco: hrm ok, well, it wants to output over a different port in linux... I home it is compat. with whatever windows wants to do! [07:26] õåëëëîîóóó [07:26] se7en_: I think I have a good resource on runlevels... am still reading it though [07:26] brb [07:26] lol Grav3Mind... ... it doesn't work as it used to before for me :S [07:27] so what does that mean for me? [07:27] lol === joerlend_ is now known as XiXaQ [07:27] is there a control panel for drive mounting? I am seeming allowed to list but not read files on my ext3 data drive as user....

Just ask your question :) [07:38] :))) [07:38] well the highest resolution is like 19 something [07:38] and i cant support that [07:39] Grav3Mind: 19!? o.O [07:39] it needs to be changed [07:39] 19 pixels?

[07:48] well im thinking theres a few things that need to be changed [07:48] question: I have an intel PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter in my lenovo lappy. I've installed kubuntu gutsy and am using the default driver which shows up as iwp2100. I have sporatic connectivity. I can connect to my wireless network, but I can watch it drop every few seconds, then restore with wavmon. Any idea what the cause might be? [07:49] Grav3Mind: Google up xorg I bet that there's a ton that you can change but I think that you should first backup the exisiting one and just change the driver and resolution if you find out how [07:50] ok thanks [07:50] I'll be back in a few minutes ;) [07:50] k ^_^ [07:50] and thanks for your help ^_^ [08:01] When i try to add a printer in the printers dialog of KDE, the add printer option is grayed out. Why is it grayed out, and what do i need to install? (I didn't install kubuntu-desktop, but kde-core) [08:05] Arelis: either you rot admin or cups is not installed or started, go into the services section and start cups [08:05] not* [08:06] Arelis: also mark cups to automatically start on boot [08:06] I'm using Kubuntu 6.06, and installed the gnome-desktop on it. However, even after assigning the ALT+F1 shortcut to the menu, it doesn't seem to pop up, what could be the reason? [08:07] ubunturos: doesnt who up whre ? [08:08] Linux_Galore: eh? [08:08] Linux_Galore: i did all those things, still not working. [08:08] is azzco back? [08:08] Arelis: so the services manager shows cups is running ? [08:09] Linux_Galore: okay, i got to the printer adding part - but when adding it, it shows no vendors and models. So no drivers [08:09] Arelis: thats usually a sign cups it not running, cant edit what isnt running [08:09] Linux_Galore: how do i enable it? [08:10] Arelis: in the services section in k-> system settings [08:10] i guess not [08:11] ubunturos: when you install the gnome desktop if you reboot it should show the option in the login screen to select gnome as the desktop [08:12] Linux_Galore: you seem to have got the question wrong [08:12] Linux_Galore: that section will not load [08:13] ubunturos do you want to run kde and gnome at the same time ? [08:14] Linux_Galore: no, I run them independently [08:14] ubunturos: well if you want to do that log out [08:15] hey guys i have a question [08:15] well i should just ask [08:15] lol [08:16] but anyway. if i want to dump the pre included nvidia driver with ubuntu [08:17] Grav3Mind: the free FOSS one ? [08:17] i guess [08:17] Grav3Mind: just install and run envy [08:17] the one that comes when you download kubuntu dvd [08:17] well theres a reason im asking this [08:17] envy will install the comercial driver for nvidia or ati [08:18] i cant get to it [08:18] because it wont load my gui [08:18] and even then, i wont be able to get online [08:18] Grav3Mind: aaah, have you run envy before ? [08:19] because im using a belkin usb wireless reciever [08:19] hi [08:19] so theres no way for me to access the internet even if i did manager to get to the desktop [08:20] Grav3Mind: so your running and rig that isnt exactly Linux friendly and you having issues [08:20] very much [08:20] i cant even get the GUI to load with the default nv drivers [08:20] i tried to install kde 4rc1 using apt-get but the packages are not installable, anyone got this working? [08:20] Grav3Mind: did the dvd have a network connection [08:20] it never evn took me to that part [08:20] *even [08:21] im thinking of taking out my nvidia card [08:21] Grav3Mind: if you cant get the dvd to do a live boot then it usually means you have issues [08:21] yeah [08:21] it wont do a live boot [08:21] why is that? [08:21] Grav3Mind: Nvidia card should work all my machines have one [08:22] its a geforce fx 5500 pci with 256 mb of ram [08:22] Grav3Mind: turn all the power management of in the bios [08:22] hmm lemme go look [08:23] ill brb dont go anywhere lol [08:23] pretty much turn everything off in the bios windows xp or Linux doesnt need any of it [08:23] why would that help? [08:23] just use the nv driver [08:24] marcel: the dvd defaults to the nv driver, I think he has a bios conflict causing the machine to hang [08:24] its agp, so it cannot have these conflicts [08:24] whoa!!!!! i just went back in the room and its at the desktop!!! [08:24] i dont know how or why! [08:25] i was just playing with the xorg config file [08:25] i gues i did something right [08:25] ill brb [08:25] ... [08:25] OH I KNOW WHY!!! i told it to start in safe graphics mode [08:25] sudo cat /var/log/messages |grep EE [08:25] what does that mean? [08:26] it means it uses the safest working settings. [08:26] run the command i gave you [08:26] tell me if it yields anything interesting [08:26] i would do less or tail [08:26] in what [08:26] instead of cat [08:26] konsole? [08:26] sorry i lie [08:27] sudo cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep EE [08:27] don't worry about less/tail, xorg.conf never yields that many errors anyways. a dozen lines at best. [08:27] in konsole? [08:27] yes. [08:27] k [08:30] hi, kwin crashes when I am away from my machine [08:31] I locked the screen and walked away [08:31] logged back in and kwin seems to be not running [08:31] I have to reboot [08:32] anyone ever get a usb wireless internet reciever to work with linux [08:32] anyone got kde 4 rc1 working? [08:35] anyone? [08:36] ive never really heard of it before but getting one to work should be possible somehow [08:37] <_6502_> grav3 what are you talking about ? [08:37] usb wireless internet reciever [08:37] <_6502_> ouch [08:37] thats not encouraging [08:37] lol [08:38] <_6502_> grav3 i had a fight with wpa-psk for quite long [08:38] well its not protected [08:38] its open access [08:39] <_6502_> grav3 if you go for simpler things (wep, open) should be easy... [08:39] you mean using a wireless usb reciever? [08:39] will work? [08:40] <_6502_> grav3 i had mine working with wep when i was on debian... [08:40] wow how did you get it to work? [08:40] was it plug and play? [08:41] <_6502_> grav3 i installed the ndis support (you know... that stuff that uses windows drivers) and just worked... [08:41] ndiswrapper? [08:42] <_6502_> grav3 yes [08:42] was it hard to install? [08:42] cause ive only heard of it [08:42] never done it [08:42] <_6502_> may be i was dead lucky... but everything just worked [08:42] lol [08:42] <_6502_> it was a debian package [08:43] <_6502_> for sure i got anyway the impression that wireless on linux is not ready for prime time [08:44] lol [08:44] <_6502_> not a linux fault... it's because of all those closed-source drivers... [08:44] <_6502_> still the problem remains [08:44] yeah [08:45] youd think that with wine you could install the driver [08:45] no? [08:45] <_6502_> ouch [08:45] <_6502_> i wouldn't even try that.... wine is not an emulator :-) [08:45] <_6502_> may be vmware player could work, however [08:46] <_6502_> then you could route trough the virtual machine.... hehehe jk [08:47] i know wines not an emulator [08:47] its a compatibility layer [08:47] <_6502_> but kidding apart i'd give a shot to ndiswrapper... i suppose it's a package even on ubuntu; probably even newer than debian version [08:48] <_6502_> yes... but it's a compatibility mostly at gui level, not lower levels [08:48] how hard is ndiswrapper to install? [08:49] <_6502_> once installed there was just a command to load a windows driver, accepting the .sys file as parameter [08:49] <_6502_> google for your usb dongle to see if anyone got it working before [08:50] <_6502_> mine was a belkin and worked [08:52] <_6502_> after the driver is loading there are special commands in linux for wireless support (configuration, probing etc.) and then you just see the network card in ifconfig [08:52] <_Angelus_> is there something to make kde/kubuntu look like vista? [08:53] 6502 mine is a belkin as well [08:57] <_6502_> googling for the model name and linux gives bad news or good news ? [08:57] nothing really lol [08:57] <_6502_> nah... impossible [08:58] <_6502_> with mainstream usb stuff you're never the first one to try [08:58] <_6502_> what is the model name ? [08:58] i have a question...would anyone know how to fix my problem...when i click on hibernate....it just desplays verticle colors that blink on the screen....and when it click or pres exc or space....it doesnt do anything...and keeps on blinking colors [08:59] hey people, anyone know why skim isn't working since i have upgraded from Edgy to Gutsy? I have removed/reinstalled, no luck.. Basically when i press ctrl + space nothing happens [08:59] <_6502_> one really silly thing is that often USB dongles are all marked with a certain model name but indeed they're different hardware, so you've to check serial numbers to know exactly what hardware you got [09:01] <_6502_> i've been told that hybernate in linux is not at sood as linux sound card mess... i think this says it all [09:01] <_6502_> s/sood/good/ [09:02] huh [09:03] im more confused now [09:03] lol [09:03] how do i make a .zip of a file on my desktop? [09:03] right click compress [09:03] i dont see that option [09:03] then compress as [09:03] install arc [09:04] ark** [09:04] im on gnome [09:04] o...

[09:41] i installed yesterday it, following instructions on kubuntu.org [09:41] from hardy-backports [09:41] after rc1 = most current, daily versions. meaning it must be compiled from source [09:41] aah. === Shely is now known as MJ086 [09:43] how to compile from source it?

[10:04] you can install kubuntu-restricted-extras and vlc [10:05] uhm [10:06] gutsy.. :shy: [10:06] sorry just running 2 days with Kubuntu. [10:06] ward_: install the vlc media player [10:06] ok [10:06] it runs almost all the files you would need [10:06] sudo apt-get install vlc should be the command [10:07] how you guys knows that commands? [10:07] sudo apt-get install vlc [10:07] as for audio, follow the guides that the nice bot posted above [10:07] ward_: ive been using kubuntu for about a year now, so i picked it up. also i ran that command yesterday. [10:08] it can be intimidating to use at first, but no worries, that's what this chan is for [10:08] :p [10:08] Thanks. [10:08] sudo: run as superuser [10:08] :p [10:08] apt-get: program to manage packages [10:08] hehe [10:08] q: what should be the command to install Adobe CS3 design premium then? [10:09] mmm [10:09] there is no CS3 for linux [10:09] oh [10:09] :( [10:09] Can I emulate it? [10:09] yep [10:09] :( [10:09] VMWare or something? [10:09] (I read about it) [10:10] !alsa [10:10] 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 [10:10] you can run it in vmware, but it would be slower [10:10] cause of the graphics card [10:11] vmware doesn't support them fully [10:11] ok [10:11] I'm running atm kubuntu at a low end pc [10:11] also [10:12] AMD Athlon XP 3000+ 2.2Ghz - Ati radeon 9600 pro 256mb - 20GB hdd 5200RPM [10:12] 2x 256mb ram(dual channel) [10:12] but it works :D [10:13] yeah, it should perform well on that machine [10:14] :) [10:14] but into this machine is an other hdd with windows on it... with 7200RPM [10:14] :p [10:14] i'm running AMD Athlon XP 2.8+ - nvidia geforce 2 mx - 80gb hdd [10:14] 512 ram [10:14] :p [10:15] nice [10:15] and it run OK. [10:15] does running games (counter-strike source) in wine have the potential to cause malfunctions with the soundcard drivers? alsamixer reports no such device, /proc/asound/cards doesn't exists, I have no sound in any application, yet lspci shows my integrated audio device @ 00:1b.0.. any suugestions? [10:15] ward_: "have fun" if you want to work with a vmware-windows with only 512MB on host-machine :) [10:16] it seems that my issues with sound coincided with running wine, but I could be mistaken.. I wish I was more positive about the origin of my dilema.. [10:16] and photoshop [10:16] You think it woudn't work? [10:16] ward_: define "work" [10:16] :p [10:16] pjeide: i run half-life 2 and it hasn't given me problems so far [10:17] ward_: the emulated Win needs more RAM you can offer, so it might start but isn't funny at all [10:17] darkness_s: thanks [10:17] pjeide: you are welcome [10:17] so i need to buy a buy a neew pc [10:17] ward_: RAM at least [10:18] ward_: yes, you need more ram to run vmware nicely [10:18] ok [10:22] Question [10:22] http://i12.tinypic.com/8acp3c7.png [10:22] how can I make a thing like on the right? [10:23] ward_: use conky, a system monitoring software [10:23] ward_, looks like conky... [10:23] i think that is conky [10:23] <_DT> ward_ : install conky or a super karamba desktop widget [10:24] lol [10:24] everybody agrees [10:24] oh, i thought it's conky :) [10:24] <_DT> :-) [10:24] <_DT> K > Utilities > SuperKaramba > Get More Stuff [10:24] :D [10:24] htnaks [10:24] <_DT> has some good widgets too ;-) [10:25] ward_: superkaramba on your pc might not be a good idea, it needs much more ressources than conky [10:25] ward_: bear in mind that SuperKaramba is preety resource heavy [10:25] ok it offers more eye-candy too [10:25] SO i thake Conky? [10:26] try it [10:26] sudo apt-get install conky [10:27] Works [10:27] ward_: to get some ideas how to customize it: http://conky.sourceforge.net/screenshots.html [10:27] Thanks [10:29] hmm [10:29] ist's installed [10:29] how to open :/ [10:30] Why would I have no /proc/asound directory? Is that standard with ALSA?

[10:33] Hi [10:33] is /etc/asound.conf a standard file with ALSA? [10:33] (no activity over on the channel) [10:35] hi conma, welcome to #kubuntu [10:35] who can tell me why my Konq does not work like internet browser? [10:36] conma: what happens when you try to open a web page [10:37] 大家好 [10:37] Konq says "connection error", but links2 opens the same page [10:37] !cn [10:37] For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw 或者 #ubuntu-hk [10:37] 这应该是个kubuntu [10:38] 的聊天室呀 我第一次来 [10:38] conma: do you get unknown host errors or just 'connection error'? [10:40] is the KDE4 rc1 in gutsy backports supposed to be in an installable (though not supported) shape? I keep on getting notes on broken packages [10:40] Lynoure: like? [10:41] I think it's "error loading page" and "error connecting to host" [10:41] Lynoure: it should be installable [10:41] I installed it [10:42] Lynoure: you should be installing from the Launchpad PPA [10:42] Tm_T: they scrolled off already, I'll tell you if the rehappen (I'm trying again after yet another update and clean) [10:42] Lynoure: roger [10:42] This host is "pingable" and I can open the page with links2 [10:42] jpatrick: because the backparts is broken? or why? [10:42] hi everybody, can anyone tell where to put options for certain modules? I need to make sure my wifi/module (iwl4965) is always loaded with "hwencrypt=1" [10:42] s/parts/ports [10:42] Lynoure: because that's where the lastest are [10:42] conma: switch off "use-cache" in konquerors settings [10:44] jpatrick: I prefer ok backports to lastests 'someguy's own', that's why I asked about it.... but I did try ppa too, yesterday, it did not have kdm-kde4 and installing that from backports caused conflicts [10:44] deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/tsimpson/ubuntu gutsy main [10:44] Lynoure: this 'someguy' rocks :D [10:45] conma: ah i see. yea i get that in konqueror when I try to open links in IRC, and if I try to open it again it works. duno how to fix it, i just use firefox [10:45] Amazing! It works! Thank you VERY MUCH :) Why it does not want to work with cache? [10:45] Lynoure: kubuntu.com recommends that repository [10:45] jpatrick: see what I said about kdm-kde4...? [10:45] darkness_s: ditto to you... [10:45] ditto? [10:45] darkness_s: see what I said about kdm-kde4 [10:46] Lynoure: personally I wouldn't use the KDE4 KDM, you just need to add a new xsession in the right dir as the instructions say [10:46] darkness_s: What instructions? http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php tells to install that... [10:47] Lynoure: that says nothing about KDM [10:47] oops, nicks wrong way around, sorry about that. [10:47] oh, wait, it does, odd [10:47] jpatrick: yes, it does. [10:48] But ppa repo does not have kdm-kde4 and installing that from backports when the rest is from ppa breaks stuff. [10:48] Lynoure: ignore it and do what the rest says, it works fine here [10:48] Who knows how to deal with Conexant modems? Is there an opensource driver? [10:49] Lynoure: i followed that guide and it all went good [10:49] jpatrick: Don't know enough on xephyr to be comfortable with it.. what exactly does it do? [10:49] Hi all, have upgraded to Gutsy recently following official instructions but now have a couple of strange issues. Can someone help explain/fix? Let's start with - when I click Logout/Shutdown button I can't shutdown or restart, I only have the logout option...? [10:49] darkness_s: even the kdm part? [10:49] Lynoure: no idea.. (never used it) [10:49] Lynoure: yes [10:50] darkness_s: when? I wonder if something changed meanwhile? [10:50] Lynoure: two or three days ago [10:50] darkness_s: Did you get kdm-kde4 from backports? or from somewhere else? [10:51] erland: where does log out take you to? can you shutdown from there? [10:53] bazhang: yeah, it takes me back to the normal login screen and then I can logout by Ctrl+s and it gives me the shutdown & restart buttons - it's just frustrating to have to go through both steps. [10:53] hi all, could someone tell me from where i change screen resolution on kubuntu plz? [10:53] Lynoure: yes, i guess... i didn't check i just installed it [10:54] it says provider: Ubuntu MOTU developers [10:54] that's right, it's in universe [10:54] darkness_s: If I try following the instructions with both ppa and backports enables, I get an ugly mess... [10:55] erland: what about from the konsole? does that allow it? [10:55] bobiras: under peripherals monitor and display [10:55] bobiras: have you tried "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"? (back up your xorg.conf first) [10:55] Hi all... [10:55] nope [10:56] need some help with grub problems... [10:56] Lynoure: that's weird [10:56] cannot boot to kubuntu... [10:56] tried to fix it with easy bcd .. didnt work..

[10:57] Lynoure: maybe you should install them separately [10:57] Lynoure: first kdebase-dev-kde4 kdebase-workspace-dev kdebase-runtime [10:57] Lynoure: and then kdm-kde4 === ubuntu is now known as salerno [10:57] bazhang: I'm not sure, I haven't tried from the console but I think I did try by keyboard shortcut for "Halt without Confirmation" (Alt+Ctrl+Shift+PgDn) and it worked like that, but I'd like the GUI if possible - When I ran the Kubuntu Gutsy Live CD it gave me the shutdown/restart/suspend options. === salerno is now known as radeon2 [10:58] erland: that is very strange [10:58] The various docs on grub/windows problems assume that one has either only one versionof windows.. i have xp and vista or it assumes the problems came when windows was installed after kubuntu... I had xp and vista first and kubuntu came as the 3rd o-system... [11:00] bazhang: I know, I don't get it. I used to have the normal dialogue under Feisty too... [11:00] http://lifehacker.com/software/ubuntu/hack-attack-how-to-tripleboot-windows-xp-vista-and-ubuntu-193474.php FlyBye [11:00] erland: normal here on my gutsy kubuntu [11:02] darkness_s: that's what I did... [11:02] darkness_s: the last step ended in massive dependency hell. [11:03] bazhang: OK, well next one is weird scrolling - after upgrading, the scrolling in programs like OOo and Firefox is jumpy regardless of the "smooth scrolling" setting. It's actually really frustrating even though it sounds like a small thing - makes stuff hard to read. [11:03] Lynoure: i have no idea what happened then [11:03] erland: not small if its frustrating [11:04] erland: I tend to turn off smooth scrolling as it's anything but smooth [11:04] darkness_s: do you have backports in your sources list? [11:05] darkness_s: if not, that could explain stuff :) [11:06] Lynoure: yes, i do have backports [11:06] darkness_s: hmm [11:06] bazhang: yeah, it's probably a little better without smooth scrolling, but still jumpy. Again, smooth scrolling worked fine under Feisty. [11:06] darkness_s: and ppa, too? [11:07] Lynoure: yes [11:07] erland: feisty and gutsy are very different experiences--I could get almost nothing to work under feisty, and gutsy is not that bad (for me) [11:07] who is pl? [11:07] !pastebin [11:07] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [11:08] hi there, i installed kubuntu yesterday, using debian before. i figured out, there might be more "nescessary" repositories, than the free one? [11:08] Aphelia: as in restricted (codecs etc)? [11:08] Lynoure: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45768/ [11:08] i read something about "community repositories", can anyone help me with the deb url? [11:08] thanks folks - have had a look at the info in the page that the bot gave and it seems to be what I am looking for.. [11:08] yes, like that [11:09] Aphelia: via gui or cli--adept is the gui [11:09] there must be something as the "non-free" equivalent in debian, i think.. via adept [11:10] Aphelia: yes, there is, and if that doesn't have what you want then there is medibuntu.org as well [11:10] bazhang: Alright, moving on to strike 3, Amarok has become unusable. Not sure if this has to do with upgrading, as it slowed down after I upgraded to a newer less stable package (maybe 1.7 at the time) while still using Feisty. Anyway, I rolled back to the standard stable package, but it's been so slow that it now just crashes when I try to use it. I have a large collection, but it should be able to handle that right? Again, using [11:10] the Gutsy Live CD,everything was dandy, even after hooking it up to my large collection on external HDD. Any suggestions? [11:11] is there any site, , where i can look up the urls easily? [11:12] darkness_s: one last question, did you install with aptitude (like I did), adept, apt or something else? (might make a difference when it comes to recommended stuff) [11:12] Aphelia: just open up adept and enable the repositories there (including canonical partner repos), then follow instructions at medibuntu org for enabling those [11:13] Lynoure: i used apt-get [11:13] erland: using the live gutsy cd with feisty installed was alright, then installing the gutsy over feisty (or apt dist upgrading via the net) things became broken? [11:14] sorry i'm noob, i can not find peripherals monitor and display, can someone help me plz? [11:14] bazhang: thanks :) I'l try that [11:15] Aphelia: no worries :} [11:15] darkness_s: I'll try that way then. Maybe it was some of the recommended stuff that caused the dependency mess. Thanks [11:15] bobiras: do you see the kmenu? [11:15] sure [11:15] but i'm stuck [11:15] bazhang: so it's using the live gutsy cd (with gutsy already installed) VS. using gutsy installed via apt dist upgrade via net [11:16] hello.. i'm a noob and i have this problem with dialogue box [11:16] http://www.flickr.com/photos/gabii/2062279094/ [11:16] that's the link to a snapshot [11:17] bobiras: can you look for peripehreals (sp) in the kmenu? [11:17] i searched on system setting [11:17] but i still can't find from where i change the resolution [11:17] erland: you upgraded to gutsy via net? [11:17] bobiras: you using kubuntu or ubuntu? [11:18] Lynoure: you are welcome [11:18] kubuntu [11:19] i cant add a theme in kdm theme manager. what can be wrong? [11:19] bobiras: you can find the appearances and themes section? peripherals is below that [11:19] bazhang: yes, I upgraded via the net [11:19] erland: sounds like that old amarok upgrade is conflicting with the new gutsy one somewhere [11:20] bobiras: kmenu--System settings--screen [11:20] bart1105: what specifically?

[11:22] ok [11:22] posingaspopular: yes [11:23] bazhang: what i'm actually looking for is opera and alien. i have "partner" and "free/nonfree" in sources.list [11:23] and can't still find opera and alien [11:23] that's ctrl+f?

[11:23] it suppose to be like in the look&feel menu? [11:24] the only thing I did was click inside the box and type test [11:24] posingaspopular: yes, its a crtl+f with the advanced options opend [11:24] text* and that worked for me [11:24] bobiras: settings for keyboard, appearanc and themes, monitor etc there?

[11:32] Aphelia: oops it is there listen to darkness_s [11:32] can any one please help me.................? [11:32] hello, where does my system store the log file with what packages i installed/removed ? [11:33] Aphelia: it should work [11:33] I gues /dev/fd0 is the address of some storage device ... is it a usb stick perhaps? [11:33] ok found [11:33] s4xxon: dpkg -l will show you the list not sure where they are stored [11:34] darkness_s: it works, i think its because i don't have the source "main" in adept [11:34] hi, i'm installing kubuntu 7.10, but i dont want format the / filesystem, it is possible? [11:34] ah well .. i will struggel along a bit further... [11:34] kdm manager is not adding the theme i downloaded [11:35] bart1105: is that the spreadsheet software?

After blacklisting my onboard drivers and using the Xorg wizard I was able to get ubuntu to boot with the 6200. [11:39] I promptly used nvidia-settings to configure a dual screen setup. [11:40] but now ubuntu thinks I have a 2704x1050 big desktop [11:40] why the installer want format the root filsystem? [11:40] darkness_s: tells me to do apt-get -f install, and that results in the same errors about things being in multiple packages [11:40] when it is really a 1024x768 next to a 1680x1050 screen [11:40] posingaspoplular: how come your dialogue screens are smaller than mine?

[14:30] w00t, have we gotten full NTFS write support as well now ? [14:31] does pmount automaticly mount the hda everytime i reboot [14:32] andreas__: no I don't think so, try adding the command (test it first ;) to /etc/rc.local <- this is a runlevel thingy, meaning it will run all commands within when you boot the system [14:33] Cold_Inz: I'll try;D [14:33] hi [14:34] andreas__: if you want it mounted at bootup, it should be added to /etc/fstab [14:34] everybody is english ?

I've discovered a whole new (and beautiful) world after kubuntu.. used to be a slackware/gentoo user :P [14:40] JohnFlux: should there normally be at least abit usage of swap ? according to a monitor, I'm using 0% swap of 489mb [14:42] JohnFlux: can you change the fstab file for me? the gui is in chinese!

[14:55] nothing ;) just making out a point, if I've installed an extra repository then I must've been sleepwalking, I don't even have a clue how to do that [14:55] heh [14:56] Cold_Inz: do "apt-cache show opera" in konsole [14:57] Tm_T: I'ma put this in pastebin.

[15:13] jpat .. if you are interested in taking a run at it - i need to re-boot with the kubuntu live cd and then need to start a ssh session .. but also need to know how to set that up...?

I cannot enter any text, otherwise the GUI is responsive. Has anyone seen this beofre? [15:17] alex - I would be happy if I got as far as that with the boot to be honest... [15:17] lol [15:18] i am certainly a linux noob too [15:18] with my problem at the moment i get as far as hung boot - grub fault #22 - end of story.. heheh [15:19] alex - achtssst - your no good - fuck off.. heheheh [15:19] np [15:19] would it help if i told you that I like Kubuntu otherwise :P [15:20] yeah .. really - I will probably like it too - a whole lot more when I get it too boot the first time hehehe!! [15:20] just curious. Have you tried just regular ubuntu? [15:20] ( I can get into the kubuntu live cd session - but that is the limit of it at the moment...) [15:21] no - i like kde.. [15:21] way back I had opensuse for a while with kde... [15:21] FlyBye: possibility go the easiest path and reinstall Kubuntu? [15:21] i think you can add KDE later. anyone else want to verify that? [15:21] alexander: yes, not the issue though in this case [15:21] FlyBye: .. You could format the drive, install windows leaving a bit of space left for kubuntu, and then after windows is installed, install kubuntu. [15:23] Sajes.. I already had xp and vista installed and was trying to install kubuntu as a 3rd o-system... [15:24] no way do I want to take off xp and vista.. need a week to re-install and get back to square one... [15:24] while it might be dumb for me (as a noob-) to say so - it *only* needs the grub correctly installed and configured .. eh... [15:25] sounds arrogant but u c what I mean I guess... [15:25] FlyBye: yup, the "under-the-fence" method would be just reinstall Kubuntu [15:25] Sajes.. what I really need is sbdy who knows thier stuff to come on a ssh session and sort it out...

[16:19] Never mind, that wouldn't get him to kdm [16:20] B4S3M: i would recomend kopete over amsn - i always found amsn crashed and wish an application name of "wish its no wonder" [16:20] substancev: have you tried sudo /etc/init.d/kdm start?

[16:24] B4S3M: why don't you apt-get remove --purge the kopete application and reinstall [16:25] connection to msn.. [16:25] SatManUK: no, it's not because of client, as I said many times before [16:25] ardchoille: me neither in the years i been a ubuntu fan never seen this.. regular flavor(GNOME) of ubuntu works perfectly [16:25] i know that.. [16:25] kopete works perfectly for me [16:25] but if it crashes - then doesn't trying another program provide an alternative solution? [16:26] ardchoille: i think initially it wasn't going in due to lack of drivers... but now that the drivers are installed it seems not to be working... how can i check my start logs [16:26] substancev, hmm, do a sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop , the init file is obviously not setup right [16:26] how do i convert a /dev/sda5 into a hd0,x problem?

[16:26] SatManUK: i neeed the most likely to Windows live messanger is it kopete ot pidgin ? [16:26] SatManUK: that depends on what partition they are in.. [16:27] either will do it [16:27] kopete supports file transfer [16:27] pidgin has a spell checker.. [16:27] so does Kopete [16:27] i didn't know that..

I am a newby. thanks [16:59] howdy [16:59] i got a porblem with amarok [16:59] shawn_, explain what you mean by "breaks" [16:59] Ive been told to instal QtRuby, what package is this in?

I have backed up all of my data and am going to do a fresh install of 7.04. I want to partition a /home and /data and / any suggestions on sizes for each? [17:15] Probably 10 GB or so for / [17:16] fyrmedic: How many additional apps are you going to install? How will /data be used? [17:16] The others depend on what will be on them [17:17] ardchoille; I don't know about the apps, I tend to install and delete stuff frequently so it's not something I can specify. The /data will be used for music and pictures for the most part. [17:19] fyrmedic: Ok, I would say 8 to 10 Gb for / , and you can split the rest between /home and /data but it sounds like /data will need to be bigger than /home due to music and pics taking up a lot of space [17:19] fyrmedic: Keep in mind that your /swap will need up to 2Gb depending on your ram [17:19] ardchoille; that's kind of where I was going with it. Thanks [17:19] yw [17:20] Anything more tha 2Gb for /swap is a waste of space IMHO [17:21] fyrmedic: If you are able to add another hd, you might think about adding one, throw it into fstab so it's automounted and keep /data on that one === luk is now known as \SeVeN\ [17:22] I have /dev/hda1 for /, /swap/ home and /dev/hdb1 for /data [17:23] ardchoille; I would love to but it's on a laptop [17:23] ok [17:23] anyone figured out how to stop ubuntu breaking laptop harddrives over time? [17:24] I thought that was just a rumor [17:24] not conclusive sigma [17:25] I think that was an article that was posted on slashdot.org. I read it and it didn't seem legit [17:25] nope it really happens, happens on my dell d600 with linux but not windows, however im not sure if its actually damaging the drive [17:25] Figures, it's slashdot [17:25] it just accesses the drive every 5 min or so [17:26] sigma: Do you have a partition that fills up to quickly? [17:26] sigma; and spins it up then does nothing? [17:26] sigma: syncing won't break your HDD [17:27] ardchoille: the partition of the drive (only one main partition) is pretty empty, only has kubuntu gutsy and a few apps [17:27] is there away to get firefox to look like the rest of KDE and use KDE widgets and the like ? [17:27] llutz: well thats good to know, why doesn't windows do it though? [17:28] sigma: because win uses different techniques/filesystems etc. [17:28] BlackDiamonds: No, the best you can do is to install a firefox theme. Firefox doesn't use qt or gtk afaik. [17:28] sigma: i havent lost a single HDD in about 10 yrs linux on laptop [17:28] blackdiamonds: go to mozilla.com and check the themes section out, i use a theme called crystalfox modern 1.1 [17:29] roger [17:29] hello! [17:29] also, what is this Firefox + Ubuntu mix and love I am reading about in Gutsy [17:29] blackdiamonds: however that has nothing to do with making it look like kde [17:30] llutz: well thats great, what laptop do you have? and what hdd is in it? [17:30] does anyone know where i can get a graphical data counter to monitor my gprs internet usage? [17:31] sigma: different ones, ibm thinkpad + toshiba tecra + samsung x20 (now), harddisks were fujitsu and toshiba [17:32] sigma: the only trouble i ever had, was corrupted filesystems caused by defective RAM [17:32] llutz: my dell has a toshiba, anyway doubt its anything to worry about, considering dell themselves are shipping machines pre-installed with ubuntu [17:33] llutz: talking about defective ram i should run memtest before boot, my ram has never been tested since i got the laptop [17:34] Speaking as a security-minded Linux user, I would wipe the hd of a box that shipped with Linux. I mean, most people trusted Sony until that rootkit fiasco. [17:34] llutz: do you know of a gprs internet couter for kde? [17:34] sigma: kppp [17:35] sigma: not a counter, but counts transfered bytes [17:36] Hello, everyone. [17:36] please somebody know a aplication for ubuntu or debian for monitorize and save clipboard content in a editable file [17:36] or how i can make klipper save his clipboard history in a txt file [17:37] llutz: thats exactly what i need, but kppp can't connect to the net for me (i have to use wvdial), because it has no "stupidmode" (i use a windows mobile smartphone to connect) [17:38] sigma: ah ok, gkrellm/conky/superkaramba may show you the data transfered via ppp0 but it might be a bit exaggerated [17:40] hey [17:40] is there a way to edit wine so that the fonts aren't all retarded?

[17:58] d4ef6s: dcop klipper klipper getClipboardContents [17:58] thomas_newbie__: no. basically, you are redirecting the output of the command (which by default goes to standard output, which is 1) to "result", then 2>&1 means you are redirecting the output of standard error (which is 2) to 1 (standard output) which adds it to the file [17:59] afaik [18:00] guys, just a short one - where can I change the default filemanager from dolphin to konqueror? [18:00] !d3lphin | rysiek|pl [18:00] rysiek|pl: Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [18:00] dlphin still needs a bunch of improvements to be functional for me [18:00] thanks [18:00] on every startup fsck starts to check / for errors and finds them but doesn't fix them. [18:00] how can i fix them manually? [18:01] Jucato: ok I see, so the first ">" is the one that takes the standard output, but whats the &1 do? [18:01] that I forgot :) [18:01] Jucato: he [18:02] thomas_newbie__: I think it has something to do with redirecting output between stdout and stderr [18:02] I saw that 7.10 has auto detection of USB printers but I can't get 7.10 to work on my machine, can I still get printer auto-detect? [18:03] &1 is stdout, &2 is stderr [18:03] where shoud put this [18:03] d4ef6s: run it in konsole [18:03] !wine [18:03] WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux.

[18:24] ls text a <-- looks like you're listing the file "text a" but cat text will throw an error. cat text\ a should succeed [18:24] ardchoille: no, the file "text" exists, but "a" doesn't.

[18:59] Ax-Ax: Did yo happen to notice which driver (current, new, legacy) the manager installed for you? [18:59] Ax-Ax: What I found was that the restricted driver manager installed the wrong driver for my card. [19:00] ardchoille: I think it was legacy [19:00] ok [19:00] ardchoille: it works with opengl and such [19:00] Ax-Ax: Right, but if you have a severe problem and need to do cli work in tty1, yo're out of luck [19:01] :( [19:02] ardchoille: thats true, it's just too bad there isn't a more kde competitor.

[19:20] sweettooth: try VirtualBox or qEmu [19:20] PeterPan_: i dont think that they affect your system, dont worry! just use your GNU/Linux :) [19:21] PeterPan_: virous run under wine can't affect your system, unless you really b0rked your install [19:21] somekool, thx. I have heard of qumu, and also the pros and cons. However i am interested to try vmware, but don't know which one i need [19:21] PeterPan_: 1. wine is a compatibility layer written from scratch; virouses exploit ERRORS in implementations of windows system services [19:22] hey guys, im trying to install Kubuntu, but im having problems.... i load the live CD and it comes up, but there is no "instal to HD" icon on the desktop, i can open the "start menu"thingie, but nothing shows up in it... can someone help me maybe? [19:22] PeterPan_: likelihood that wine developers made exact same mistakes that M$ did is almost none [19:22] rysiek|pl: theorically if you run wine as root, could do some damage, maybe only to the wine system. but as long as you dont use root or sudo for wine, no problem with windows virus [19:22] I used to do collection of virus and I never had a problem [19:22] somekool: as I wrote above, it is nearly impossible to run a windows virous under wine in the first place [19:23] hola a todos mando saludos desde mexico df [19:23] somekool: as that would require wine devs to make exactly same errors as M$ [19:23] recent viruses are trojan for MSOffice/VBA anyway... so unless you run powerpoint+word+outlook in wine, its no big deal. IMHO [19:23] can someone help me get this Kubunt installed [19:23] kubuntu: try #kubuntu-es [19:23] rysiek|pl: emilsedgh but if i have write rights to a partition and wine runs a virus. cant it delete all in that partition? [19:23] gracias [19:23] kubuntu: bitte ;) [19:24] PeterPan_: as I wrote before, that would need wine devs to make exactly the same errors as M$ [19:24] rysiek|pl: makes sense. the would need to implement the virus API ;) [19:24] is anyone seeing this text? [19:24] somekool: I think they're at it at M$ ;) [19:24] PeterPan_: wine's Partitions are not 'real' partitions, they are just dirctories in Linux filesystems, i think you will find them in ~/.wine [19:24] ToddEDM: I'm not, why? [19:24] lol rysiek|pl [19:25] i need help getting kubuntu installed [19:25] rysiek|pl: I thought it was you asking question, but I must have confused [19:25] PeterPan_: even if a windows virous runs under wine, it will have exactly same permissions as you, the kubuntu user [19:25] the live CD runs really slow, and when i press the "start menu" nothing comes up in it [19:25] ToddEDM: defrag your windows twice and choose your mother language and follow EASY instruction. [19:25] PeterPan_: and that means that - unless you heavily modified your system - it can't actually damage the system [19:26] somekool: the install wont start [19:26] rysiek|pl: if i have right permissions to some folders. it can destroy them..... so its dangeouros [19:26] ? [19:26] PeterPan_: worst case scenario in this case is: you might losse your files. the system will be fine. [19:26] PeterPan_: but as I said, that is *extremely* unlikely [19:26] hi, I need to browse the computer as sudo [19:27] rysiek|pl: my files are more important from my system [19:27] PeterPan_: besides, how could you get the virii in the first place? you are not able to use IE under linux, you know ;) [19:27] because the www-data created many many files and its not letting me control them, so I need to control them some how [19:27] anyidea? [19:27] PeterPan_: than limit what such a malware can reach from within wine - just change the paths wine has access to [19:27] rysiek|pl: yes. but i have many bad experiences. viri from cds. mails . friends. etc [19:27] wait Canada keyboard in KDE and Gnome is not same .... [19:27] newguyss: Alt-F2, then gksu konqueror (or something) [19:28] ToddEDM: why É [19:28] newguyss: kdesu konqueror [19:28] why ? [19:28] newguyss: but that is EXTREMELY dangerous [19:28] somekool: wtf you talking about? [19:28] well guys I will just get the files and then get out [19:28] !language | ToddEDM [19:28] ToddEDM: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [19:28] PeterPan_: you are safe as far as mails go - just don't use outlook ;) [19:28] somekool: i think thats not a kde/gnome related thing, that should be in X i think... [19:28] ToddEDM: I am asking question and answering same time . that`s why youre confused. [19:29] what question are you asking? [19:29] PeterPan_: then, just change the drives/paths for wine so that your really important files are noit accessible for Windows executables [19:29] I have keyboard problem in KDE and you cannot install kubuntu [19:29] somekool, you've chosen the canada french KB , is why [19:29] rysiek|pl: cds? [19:29] PeterPan_: I run Linux on 20+ systems for years now, and this I can tell you: AV software is a HUGE overkill [19:30] PeterPan_: are you reading what I am writing? [19:30] PeterPan_: [20:29] PeterPan_: then, just change the drives/paths for wine so that your really important files are noit accessible for Windows executables [19:30] how can it be EXTREMLY dangerous to root-browse the system? [19:30] Ax-Ax: because you are just a click away from deleting important files [19:30] rysiek|pl: how to do that. how to changs paths. what do you mean. [19:30] Ax-Ax: it's easier to make serious mistakes [19:30] hey guys if you wont help me install kubuntu, heres another question... i got some guyon my network, is there a way to send a message to him, in the form of a popup or something? [19:30] PeterPan_: KMenu -> System Settings -> Advanced -> Wine [19:30] rysiek|pl, just like turning of the screen? :P [19:31] BluesKaj: I am french but I use US all the time for programming and everything, plus I need japanese. I install scim-anthy, worked in gnome. then I did install kubuntu-desktop with apt-get and japanese keyboard does not load, skim menu is empty. and Canadian keyboard in KDE and Gnome is not same. [19:31] Ax-Ax: just like "ops I didn't want to Shift+Del that /etc/modules.d dir..." [19:32] rysiek|pl, everyone isn't clumsy [19:32] PeterPan_: besides, pleae _do_ read the article: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [19:32] Ax-Ax: believe me, I've seen much in that dept [19:32] rysiek|pl, ok then [19:32] Ax-Ax: browsing as root is just something you should *not* do, as long as there are alternatives [19:32] Ax-Ax: People make mistakes. Making a mistake in /boot/grub as user does nothing. But removing the wrong file there as root can keep your system from booting [19:33] Ax-Ax: like: sudo chown my_user some_dir/* [19:33] rysiek|pl: do you mean that i can restrict wine to open windows files in some areas and disable it to open any windows files outside that area ? [19:33] hello! [19:33] PeterPan_: exactly [19:33] PeterPan_: wine apps will *only* have access to files and folders configured as "drives" in wine config [19:34] hello, this is my fist time in this program and in this chatroom. can somebody help me? [19:34] velho: what's the problem? just ask [19:34] velho: Help with what? [19:34] can anyone tell me the difference between vmware workstation and vmware sever? [19:34] i'm not english [19:35] velho: #kubuntu-pt [19:35] velho: That's ok, I'm Scottish and they let me in :) [19:35] an i would lika to join a portuguese chatroom. how I do that?

[19:36] how can i join a chanel? sorry, i'm really noob in here... [19:36] JackWinter: you want to choose gnome at login or you want to remove gnome ?? [19:36] !purekde [19:36] purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [19:36] velho: /join #ubuntu-pt [19:36] NICE !!! [19:36] sub[t]rnl: thanks [19:36] the help for Kubuntu is so great [19:36] velho: type "/join #ubuntu-pt" (without the quotes" [19:37] i'd like to return to a plain kubuntu installation [19:37] thank you all [19:37] rysiek|pl: ok [19:37] JackWinter: watch what sub[t]rnl said... PureKDE on ubuntu help site [19:37] thanks, purkde it is ;-) [19:37] thankx :D:D:D:D [19:37] JackWinter: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package, it's empty and only serves to "pull in" other packages. [19:37] !purekde | JackWinter [19:37] JackWinter: purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [19:38] PeterPan_: and just as a footnote, I use Linux for 4+ years now, my sisters sit on it for ~2 years, no AV installed, all is ok. even when using wine === kubuntu is now known as tigre_mex [19:38] rysiek|pl: if / is added in drives. that will mean it has access to all my harddisk... ? [19:38] PeterPan_: But, keep in mind that wine *can* run Windows viruses/trojans/worms just as well as Windows can [19:39] PeterPan_: yes; just remove it [19:39] hi [19:39] ardchoille: not quite [19:39] rysiek|pl: There have been articles on it, yes, quite :) [19:39] im back - windows deleted - fresh install. [19:39] ardchoille: as stated before (3 times ;) ) most virii and trojans base their operations on bugs in windows programs [19:40] can anybody say program for games in linux?? [19:40] why is their a version upgrade from 7.1 to 7.1 :) [19:40] SatManUK: known bug [19:40] do i need to do this upgrade or not? [19:40] SatManUK: nay [19:40] rysiek|pl: oh ok. any by that. it will not auto run and windoes app if i just double click it by mistake. ? but it will auto run only that are inside the drives added. ? [19:40] ardchoille: and the possibility that wine devs made exactly the same errors, well, is not likely ;) [19:41] PeterPan_: yup [19:41] rysiek|pl: THANKS. GREAT HELP [19:41] rysiek|pl: [19:41] whats the command to release the package manager [19:41] root_: erm, rooted? [19:41] hey guyz [19:41] cancelling that upgrade locked out pkg [19:41] PeterPan_: no prob; somebody once told me all this, so I just sort of give back to community ;) [19:41] can anyone confirm. i didn't spend much time with it, but it seems like the gnome desktop didn't quite work on my system. there were icons missing, windows didn't show all controls etc..? [19:41] is that just for linux ubuntu support or its public chat [19:42] root_: neither [19:42] root_: linux kubuntu support, it is [19:42] root_: this is for Kubuntu support [19:42] ;) [19:42] yep [19:42] hi [19:42] rysiek|pl: how do i restart package manager now - upgrade manager locked it out [19:42] hi [19:42] hi nadie [19:42] SatManUK: huh? what do you mean by "locked it out" [19:43] btw, is there something better that wine ? crossover .. i heard. is it? [19:43] PeterPan_: CrossOver, Cedega, etc, are all based on wine [19:43] is there arelease of dc++ fo kununtu [19:43] another process is using the database when its not [19:43] PeterPan_: but have nice tested configs for few stubborn apps [19:44] PeterPan_: and some nice GUIs [19:44] i want to do a full update [19:44] coul u tell me about a good irc client for kubuntu please? i've tested irssi and it's cool but a little fuzzy [19:44] hello [19:44] SatManUK: open konsole and: ps aux | grep -e 'apt|adept' [19:44] nadie: konversation [19:44] root_: why you are as root? [19:44] nadie: it's pre-installed with kubuntu [19:45] thanx [19:45] no prob [19:45] i just wanna say miro player is really nice (even on kde) i'm trying it again after a year break [19:45] it's a pitty cos i love to use the console [19:45] SatManUK: did you get any output? [19:45] rysiek|pl: which is better. most popular [19:45] cuz i like dominate every thing :D [19:45] yes [19:45] pid 7164 [19:46] when i try and kill it - itsays no such pid [19:46] nadie: in that case just search wikipedia for IRC and there you'll find some console chat clients [19:46] root_: you should NOT IRC as root, nor use X as root [19:46] SatManUK: that pid is the grep's pid, don't worry about it [19:46] why [19:46] nadie: i'd recommend irssi [19:46] ok [19:46] root_: ...because somebody can dominate you [19:46] iam noob in linux in genreal [19:47] lol [19:47] root_: it's security risk [19:47] stuart 7201 0.0 0.1 2976 756 pts/1 R+ 23:46 0:00 grep -e apt|adept [19:47] SatManUK: nothing besides this single process? === RogueJediZero is now known as RogueJediX [19:47] Root for IRC? thats like using a plane to going around! [19:47] thats it [19:47] one line [19:47] somebody like who [19:47] hmmm [19:47] root_: like me for example [19:47] root_: it's security risk, don't make me repeat [19:47] root_: I am not a linux noob, you know [19:47] rysiek|pl: can't i just restart package manager? [19:47] SatManUK: lemme think [19:47] i didnt said u r noob [19:48] i said iam noob [19:48] root_: rule of thumb, if you don't need to be as root, don't be as root [19:48] root_: yeah. And I mean: some non-noobs are telling you that it's a security risk [19:48] root_: it's for your own safety [19:48] okay [19:48] root_: chances are they know better :) [19:48] hi, installed 7.10 on a g4 powerpc with kubuntu-7.10-alternate-powerpc.iso, from cd. [19:49] root_: convince yourself you dont know root exist. sometimes ubuntu will ask you for passwords [19:49] it installed ok, yaboot starts booting something [19:49] and then nothing [19:49] yeah always === velho is now known as ciperlone [19:49] but how root is asecurity risk for me [19:49] u can hack my system easily while iam in root [19:50] root_ rootkit [19:50] root_: if any of the programs you are running has a security flaw [19:50] anyone have any idea on how to proceed? [19:50] MeglaW_: does #ubuntu-ppc help? [19:50] root_: than if you are running them as a normal user, not much can be damaged [19:50] yep it not askin for pass cuz iam in root [19:50] i can't purge kopete either because of package manager.. [19:50] root_: but when you run them as root, and somebody uses the flaw - he or she automagically gains root provs [19:50] i need to reinstall it to clear the sigterm issue [19:50] root_: and it won't ask password from me neither now [19:51] so thats the risk that root confirm any thing [19:51] Tm_T: scence its kubunto... [19:51] root_: try google ... "why not to use root" [19:51] easy as a pie [19:51] MeglaW_: Ubuntu is Kubuntu is Ubuntu [19:51] root_: Someone who wants to hack you knows you have a root account and can sit there all month brute-forcing root, but you can't do that if the root account is locked. And you can't brute-force your user accounts without knowing the user names. This is why using sudo is, IMHO, more secure. [19:51] root_: root has access to everything, that's the whole problem [19:51] yeah [19:51] SatManUK: hmmm... I don't l;ike what I am going to say, but... could you reboot your machine? [19:51] root can delete your porn [19:51] ok.. brb yall [19:52] advanced users can use root [19:52] hahahha i dont have porn [19:52] root_: no, advance users never use root except for install [19:52] somekool: . [19:52] root_: advanced users KNOW that they should NOT use root account on a daily basis [19:52] yeah [19:52] thanks for the advice guyz [19:52] root_: you know now, you have been informed, rest is up to you [19:52] so, what to do, cant find anything helpfull in yaboot [19:53] MeglaW_: have you asked from #ubuntu-ppc ? [19:53] yeah [19:53] ideling [19:53] okie [19:53] root_: most people actually quit using su in favor for sudo [19:53] * rysiek|pl did [19:53] MeglaW_: you have much better chance there [19:53] KDE Run dialog (alt-f2) has root checkbox [19:54] sudo use in normal user to confirm root quists is that right ?? [19:54] somekool: which uses sudo? [19:54] actually run as different user, so you can run kopete under your account and under your girlfriend account [19:55] Tm_T: kdesu internally, but it turns out to be the same yes. [19:55] I know [19:55] lets try again with adaptec upgrade [19:56] well it loaded this time - to guess you were right mate.. [19:56] hi [19:56] !stream [19:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about stream - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [19:56] reboot fixed it.. - would a log out and log in have fixed it or not? [19:56] SatManUK: yeah, there must have been some process taht was using the db [19:57] meh. someone know how save a copy of a mms stream to disk? [19:57] SatManUK: nope, I don't think so [19:57] root_: $ man sudoers && sudo kwrite /etc/sudoers [19:57] mplayer i think can grab [19:57] Does anybody know why when I'm using my laptop's sound control it only goes from 0% to 11%?

What should I do? here is the information about the network http://pastebin.ca/797131 [19:57] but mplayer to a wav.. [19:57] but the wav would be huge,, [19:57] huge [19:57] !compiz-fusion [19:58] SatManUK: bu then lame or oggenc and you have a nice mp3 or ogg [19:58] 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 [19:58] Does anybody know why when I'm using my laptop's sound control it only goes from 0% to 11%?

I have the password of course yes === knapik is now known as Daemon [20:03] is it possible to install the new kde release with the fancy eyecandy err...whats-its-name from feisty fawn? [20:03] Phlogi: hmmm, in that case you probably need to use wpa_supplicant, but I can't help you with that :/ [20:03] bamsamba: no if you have to ask [20:03] bamsamba: compiz-fusion?

Here is my strange issue. It's a Dell Dimension 4700 desktop. I cleared the CMOS and was able finally access DVDs in the drive. Now, Kaffeine is choppy. The Transformers DVD is not only choppy, but pixelated. It's just a bunch of green and orange squares blocking the main video. When I put in Chris Rock's special (pretty old), it plays, but not smoothly. It's jumpy/choppy and then it's fine. It goes back and forth. What could be causing this issue?

[23:10] BanisterKelly, using samba I assume ? [23:10] mke2fs -j /dev/USBDRiVE [23:10] Yes [23:10] samba [23:10] mount: can't find /dev/sdc1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab [23:11] BanisterKelly, konq or other means? [23:11] you forgot the mount pount :-( mount /dev/sdc1 /media/usb [23:11] I click on copy, choose the network shared folder and choose paste. [23:12] It copies all the way and then stops with an error. [23:12] what's the error? [23:12] Cannot write to the destination or something. [23:13] Wait. I am copying a 4GB file to fat32. That might be why. [23:13] Duh. [23:13] * BanisterKelly slaps himself. [23:13] you may have to go into the shared folder in windows to give yourself read/write permission [23:13] If I remember right, Fat32 cannot handle 4GB files. [23:14] dunno , been using XP on my windows share = ntfs [23:14] Thats probably why I cannot copy the file. [23:14] My PC cannot use XP. [23:14] Too old, slow, etc. [23:14] I mean your windows pc [23:15] ok [23:15] The Windows PC is 550Mhz 384MB [23:15] BanisterKelly: 4 GiB − 1 byte *g* [23:15] wife has xp on her 366mhz 256ram pc..runs fine [23:15] BanisterKelly: That's the reason alright. I remember ripping a DVD to a FAT32 drive once and it split the file into 2 4 gig pieces due to the FAT32 limitations. [23:16] Thank you [23:18] Is there a way to have Windows access the ISO from this PC? [23:19] LInux sees Windows, can I have Windows see and access LInux? [23:19] hi folks. the difference between kubuntu and original ubuntu is _only_ kde vs gnome? i have to setup ubuntu+kde on 16 desktops, so wanna chose the right one ;-) [23:21] BanisterKelly: Share it with samba. Should be installed if you can access Windows shares. [23:21] jesus, I can't get my feisty to gutsy upgrade to happen [23:21] How? [23:22] I tried clicking on Share folder and it says that smb and nfs servers are not installed. [23:22] I was going to add/remove to install them. [23:23] BanisterKelly: In konqueror, right-click on the .iso file and select sharing. Install samba with apt-get install samba. [23:23] BanisterKelly: are the drives on the same pc? [23:23] OKay. [23:23] No [23:23] then samba [23:24] I am trying to allow Windows to access a 4GB file on this PC. [23:24] File too big to copy over. [23:24] banisterkelly: see http://www.fs-driver.org/screenshots.html [23:24] how is /dev/sda used a default in kubuntu?? [23:24] read partition ext3 in windows [23:26] BanisterKelly: http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic2791.html seems to be a good place to start. [23:26] BanisterKelly: what exactly do you want to do? [23:26] morphinex: what's wrong? === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde === declan_ is now known as frogface [23:29] I am trying to get Windows 98 to be able to see a folder on the Linux PC so it can read a large file/ [23:30] If that makes sense. [23:30] The file is too large for the Fat32 filesystem. [23:31] larger than 32 gb (this is the limit, isn't it). and what does the file size have to do with it if you access it via samba anyway [23:31] when I click on "request install" nothing happens [23:31] BanisterKelly: it make not sense :-) The file is too lage... why are u using Win98? [23:31] sourcemaker: it keeps crashing in the middle of the upgrade [23:32] morphinex: I had the same problem... [23:32] probably because he has to...? why else? [23:32] sourcemaker: what is the solution? [23:32] Forget I asked. I like 98 for one, and second the PC is too old for XP. [23:32] morphinex: the upgrade utility have some bugs in my opinion... using the command line solves the problem [23:32] BanisterKelly: At a prompt type apt-get install samba and tell us what it reports back. If samba is installed you can share directories in 2 different ways, editing /etc/samba/smb.conf or right click on the folder in konqueror and select sharing. [23:32] sourcemaker: so just apt-get dist-upgrade? [23:33] Now I have like half a feisty and half gutsy install [23:33] banisterkelly: whyt the program Ext2IFS you can read/write ext3...but only run in Windows NT4.0/2000/XP/2003 [23:33] Sooo annoying. Why don't they fix it? It crashed when I upgraded before too [23:34] angel I don't have Windows NT 4/2K/XP/2003 [23:34] i am asking myself the same question for a dozen of other issues [23:34] morphinex:(1) apt-get dist-upgrade (2) do-release-upgrade [23:34] morphinex: execute do-release-upgrade only... when all updates are installed [23:34] sourcemaker: dist-upgrade gives me an error [23:34] morphinex: what's the error message? [23:35] I think its installing samba [23:35] BanisterKelly: what exactly do you want to do? you don't need ext2IFS if you don want access an ext2/3 partition on the same pc from win [23:35] sourcemaker: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45856/ [23:35] I hope the database isn't hosed [23:35] I keep mentioning I am using two PC's. One WIndows and one Linux. [23:36] then forget IFS and install samba. i suggest u use konqueror for sharing as it provides a similar feel to windows [23:36] ahhh... with samba you can [23:37] BanisterKelly: When it's installed do the right click in konqueror on the .iso you want to share, select Properties, Sharing.... [23:37] Hi - I am running kubuntu 7.10 with vlc 0.8.6c and am trying to play an avi coming from my home computer many miles away to my parents computer. I have upload speed by my ISP of 1.3Mbps and download speed of 1Mbps at my mums. The file plays ok for a few minutes and then stops playing. I reckon it is a bandwidth issue but I am not sure what the options to change in preferences are to help the file to play across the WAN. [23:38] morphinex: apt-get update [23:38] Sharing isn't listed. [23:38] It is when I select the folder. [23:38] you might have to "be" root [23:38] sourcemaker: I have both gutsy and feisty repos in there [23:38] which is kind of annoying and stupid, but hey... [23:39] morphinex: why doing this? [23:39] sourcemaker: same exact error [23:39] brb [23:39] sourcemaker: like I said, it crashed when I was upgrading before and left my system this way [23:39] hey all- still having trouble with KnetworkManager - it won't connect automatically, but after 2 or 3 tries to connect manually, it finally does. WTF? [23:39] morphinex: cat /etc/apt/sources.list [23:39] I have mounted the files with sshfs [23:40] morphinex: replace feisty with gusty [23:40] sourcemaker: are you sure? the machine is currently running feisty [23:40] baniserkelly: propieties [23:41] and am playing the avi with vlc but only plays for a few minutes ... Is playing an avi across such distance possible with the upload and download speeds mentioned? [23:41] sou [23:41] sourcemaker: maybe I should repalce gutsy? [23:42] morphinex: well have you execute apt-get dist-upgrade bevor starting the gui upgrade ? [23:42] sourcemaker: yeah, I tried that after the first time it crashed [23:42] sourcemaker: byut the first time I did it, it upgraded only vrey few packages [23:42] tahir: it is very hard to strem these files fast enough [23:43] Shao`: hey what is this firmware you spaeak of that i need to get my WMP54G wifi card working ? [23:43] stream* [23:43] morphinex: replace gusty with feisty and execute do-dist-upgrade [23:44] tahir: The biggest problem is that vlc does not know it is remote and therefore expects it to be a faster disc. [23:44] sourcemaker: what does do-dist-upgrade do? [23:45] morphinex: i mean: do-release-upgrade [23:45] ok, it is doing it now === eliaselietarek is now known as elias [23:45] morphinex: it's a script from ubuntu... for release upgrading... i [23:46] anyone know of some firmware i need to get a linksys WMP54g Wifi card working?....

[23:48] nope [23:49] where do i find that tekteen [23:49] Back. I chose sharing on the folder and says I can only share folders in my home directory.

[23:52] sourcemaker: that file is downloadable... [23:52] banisterkelly: or a ln -s link symbolic [23:52] do u have all the repositories enabled [23:52] ? [23:52] I try to access and its giving me I have no permissions. === darkness is now known as darkness_s [23:54] morphinex: I do not know this problem... the do-release-upgrade was working for me... :-) [23:54] permission with chmod 777 as root [23:54] notsure tekteen [23:54] I have followed what seems to be every instruction on the 'net, but I cannot enable DMA. Would this be a Kubuntu, media players, drive, Dell (computer brand), Memorex (DVDR brand) or _____?____ issue? [23:54] BanisterKelly: You could edit the /etc/samba/smb.conf file and add the share that way. I can pastebin the 3 lines required to do that. [23:54] sourcemaker: oh well... someone told me to try to upgrade with the alternate install CD, so I guess I will try that next [23:54] angel_: for BanisterKelly's problem, the kde daemon that mounts the drives does not change the ownership to plugdev. [23:54] is that where it says show proprietary and un supported software [23:55] s/drive/driver [23:55] ToddEDM: can u pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list?

[23:59] How stable is the KDE4 RC? Anyone found any bugs that make it annoyingly unusable? [23:59] BanisterKelly: This is just a temporary solution to see if it solves your problem.
