BanisterKellyAt least it trying.  lol00:04
ardchoillejagcorvair: Linux experts?00:05
tekteenToddEDM: quick question: Does it ask if you want to install from "a local folder or the internet"?00:05
ardchoillejagcorvair: afaik, this channel is full of them. Have you tried the ubuntu forums?00:06
MurchadhBanisterKelly: Check in the smb.conf file under Authentication if there is a ; in front of security = user. If not add it, restart samba and try again.00:06
BanisterKellyOkay.00:07
ToddEDMno tekteen00:07
tekteenok00:07
BanisterKellyI really appreciate your help and putting up with me being new to this stuff.00:07
jagcorvairardchoille: I have surfed the infinite waves of the net00:07
tekteenI can not believe you have no wired network00:07
ToddEDMlol00:07
jagcorvairardchoille: I think the last thing left for me to do is to physically take it to a Linux tech for further inspection00:08
ToddEDMi could move my computer downstairs00:08
ToddEDMlol00:08
ToddEDMnot really00:08
BanisterKellyYes there is.00:08
BanisterKelly; Security = User00:08
BanisterKelly;   security = user00:08
tekteenToddEDM: does it say what "package" it could not download?00:09
ardchoillejagcorvair: What exactly is the problem?00:09
MurchadhBanisterKelly: Again, not a secure solution, I'd advise reading up on samba if you plan to have it running long term. Samba should be hardened by creating users on the linux machine for all people who are going to access the shares.00:09
MurchadhBanisterKelly: What version of Kubuntu are you using?00:09
BanisterKelly7.1000:09
BanisterKellyLive CD install00:10
jagcorvairardchoille: For the life of me, I cannot figure out the DMA issue. Kaffeine is quite choppy.00:10

tekteenToddEDM: u back?00:28
MurchadhBanisterKelly: On the Windows PC, try giving the linux username and password that you normally logon to the kubuntu machine with. Other than that you may need to create a user on the kubuntu machine with the same username and password as the Windows PC. I gotta go for a while. If it's still giving you problems have a good read of http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202605. Good luck with it. Persevere, kubuntu rocks!00:30

ToddEDMok i went to enable the restricted driver.....00:34
ToddEDMnow it wants me to locate the file, or download from internet00:35
tekteendoes it just work. without that00:36
stdintekteen: the bcm43xx-fwcutter needs to download the firmware from the net to install it (or install from a local file)00:36
ToddEDMmaybe i should restart ?00:36
tekteenstdin: he install a deb of it00:36
tekteenyes00:36

tekteenso have you tested it?00:42
DragnslcrI didn't quite expect glaring bugs though00:42
ToddEDMjust did..... cant get www.google up00:42
DragnslcrLike the system tray showing up in the middle of the screen and apparently not movable00:43
stdinToddEDM: have you activated the network, with network manager?00:43
scrubb2000Can anyone help me with my TV card?00:43
stdinDragnslcr: yeah, it's not ready yet ;)00:43
DragnslcrHehe00:43
ToddEDMstdin:  im trying , not sure how though00:44
DragnslcrAnd I really hope that the KDE3-style K menu will be available00:44
stdinToddEDM: you should just be able to right-click the icon in the system tray and choose the network to connect to00:44
DragnslcrLooks very promising though. Looking forward to the final release00:44
stdinDragonath: I'm sure someone will come up with a kde3 style clone00:45

stdinscrubb2000: you just missed me say "if no one answers, it generally means no one knows. be patient and ask again in a while. you can also ask in #ubuntu seeing as it's not Kubuntu specific"00:47
DragnslcrI vaguely recall that KControl was supposed to be the standard instead of System Settings. Is that true, or am I imagining stuff again?00:47
stdinDragnslcr: no, other way around. kcontrol got broken horrible in the port so it was mostly abandoned00:48
DragnslcrAh00:48
DragnslcrGuess I should stop using KControl then00:48
stdinyep :p00:49
DragnslcrWill the new System Settings have a spot for Autostart apps? That seems like the only real difference between the two00:49
stdinmaybe, not all the modules are finished (and integrated) get00:50
DragnslcrKnow offhand if there's an RC2 planned, or are they just going with a release and then fixing stuff that comes up in 4.0.1+?00:53
DragnslcrOr I can just read the schedule notes00:53
stdinhttp://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Schedule <00:53
DragnslcrYeah, I asked before I read the details for the 4.0.1 release00:54
ToddEDMit is working guys00:54
DragnslcrThat's what I get for only reading the table of contents00:55
ToddEDMthanks for being so patient with me!00:55
pjeidehmm.. I just installed Mplayer and also w32codecs, but I am still unable to play any divx movies00:55
tekteenToddEDM: cool00:55
pjeidethe window that is supposed to contain the movie is just distorted as if the codec isn't installed... I can hear the audio in the background, and I have the video output set to xv/X11 in Mplayer00:56
pjeideand there was no hitch installing w32codecs00:56
pjeideI can play other video, just not divx video00:57

Dragnslcrpjeide- I've gotten that problem a few times. I'm not quite sure what causes it (might be related to Compiz), but restarting the X server fixes it01:04
pjeideDragnslcr: thanks01:04
pjeideI'll give it a shot01:04
steve_ni recently install Kubuntu, all installation is fine. After that it prompted me for 'Distribution Upgrade' which stuck at zero percent for hours. Not sure what really went wrong01:05
tekteensteve_n: I think you were already at the newest version01:06
tekteensteve: open a konsole and type "sudo apt-get update" then the enter key01:07
Dragnslcrsteve_n- there was a bug in Adept where it would show a new version being available after a 7.10 install01:07
steve_nok. if i close the Distribution Upgrade now, my pc can't book into Kubuntu anymore01:09
steve_nlast night, i close it and i had to reinstall Kubuntu again01:09
steve_nDragnslcr, should just ignore the Adept updates and use 'sudo apt-get update' command instead to get all the latest fixes for Kubuntu gutsy ?01:11
steve_nis there anyway that i can install Kubuntu without reformatting the harddisk ?01:12
DragnslcrYou should only have to format the system partition. This is why it's a good idea to make /home its own partition01:14
steve_nDragnslcr : normally for system partition, how much space would be require ?01:15
DragnslcrHow big is the hard drive?01:16
steve_n80 GB01:16
steve_ni had another 40 GB as the second hard drive01:16
DragnslcrProbably 10 GB should work01:16
DragnslcrI think 20 GB is normal for larger disks01:17
steve_nif i close the Distribution upgrade, is there a way to recover without re-installing ?01:17
DragnslcrI have 50 GB on / for some bizarre reason. Probably ignorance on my part01:17
DragnslcrI dunno offhand. You can try using the recovery mode option in Grub01:17
steve_nok. would try that.01:19
steve_nif i format the hard disk in Kubuntu, am I allowed to create folder on it ? I tried previously and had authority issues01:20
steve_nnot sure what went wrong, it doesn't allowed me to create any folder01:20
DragnslcrDepends where. Usually only root can create directories outside of your home directory01:20
steve_nhow do i change to root ? am i the administrator by default and should have access to all the drive folder creation authority ?01:21
Dragnslcr!sudo01:22
ubotusudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.01:22
DragnslcrShould probably do a bit of reading on sudo01:22
steve_nok. would do that :)01:23

steve_noops..sorry01:28
steve_ni didnt mean to01:28

steve_nK`zan : i had also just installed 7.1 yesterday. I also faced the same problem as you. I think could be some flaws in Adept. I am still very new to Kubuntu so i could be wrong.01:35

substancevhey all. I wanted to come in here and say that i found the fix for the issues i have been having with kubuntu and my hp pavilion laptop. The NVIDIA drivers was the cause of the problems and not allowing me to enter into gui mode. the fix is simply edit (sudo nano /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common) and change DISABLED_MODULES="" to DISABLED_MODULES="nv". thanks all and sorry to leave most of you mind boggled01:55
substancevbasically you can install the nvidia linux drivers and it will work.. until you reboot and your back at square one01:56

jerwareNickPresta: gftp is an other failure.03:31
jerwarefor it woefully fails to overwrite existing files with the same name..03:31
NickPrestajerware, are you sure you have permission to overwrite files?03:31
jerwareyes03:31
NickPrestai don't how an FTP client would prevent you from overwriting an existing file if you have permission to do so03:32
jerwarebecuase it works when i work on a windows box using wsftp03:32
jerwarein the pc lab03:32
NickPrestawhy not try using `ftp`? that way you can rule out any specific problems caused by specific clients03:32
Art_Has anyone gotten CUPS working in Kubuntu Gutsy?03:33

NickPrestajerware, in a konsole, type "ftp" sans quotes03:33
jerwarei get the ftp prompt. so what.03:33
NickPrestaso login and such and try to overwrite the file. see what error it returns and such03:34
jerware`ftp studentwebs.kutztown.edu`  # like this for example  ??03:36
NickPrestajerware, yes. It should ask for a Name and Password. Then, do something like "put localFile.ext remoteFile.ext"03:38

mrtimbohow do i hide my laptop on my network04:16
naelrmrtimbo: use a firewall04:20
mrtimbojust trying to help my dad04:21
mrtimboi use on here04:21
Dr_willisDefine "hide" :)04:35
Dr_willisAnd if its your own network.. why do you need to 'hide' it.04:35
jugheadI just had an odd occurrence.  My screen just went blank and the kb wasn't responsive.  I reset and got back tothe login screen, and it did it again.  Where can I start the troubleshooting?04:37
naelrwhat is the driver disk talked about on the boot up of the live cd?04:37
cam_does anyone know the command to check the codecs that are installed i forgot04:42
naelrand where does one find it04:42
jalbertjust install Mplayer. That opens everything.04:43
mrtimbois there a reason why when i uninstall superkaramba everything kde gets deleted04:44
mrtimboor the last time it was kopete04:44
cam_no i need to know if i can decode and encode 3gp04:44
zibrah3edcam_ : Just google it there are several alternatives04:48
cam_i was hoping to skip the long research but oh well thx anyway =)04:49
zibrah3edTher is no long research04:50
zibrah3ed3gp linux " press enter key"04:50
cam_lol thats step 104:51
cam_then shift threw 20 results and about 100 posts04:52
zibrah3edit looks like ffmpeg can encode 3gp04:53
zibrah3ed example command ffmpeg -i movie.avi -i movie.wav -b 30 -ac 1 -ab 12 -map 0.0 -map 1.0 movie.3gp04:54
cam_last time i had to compile ffmpeg and set an option to enable it04:54
cam_idk if they made a new version with it already enabled thats what i wanted to check04:54
cam_but oh well its not that important04:55
zibrah3edfront end for ffmpeg http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Multimedia/Video/3gp-converter-25338.shtml04:55
zibrah3eddownload ffmpeg from the medibuntu repos04:55

KuscheltodHey @ll05:36
KuscheltodI;ve an question... :)05:37
Azzco..So... are you going to ask it or just make us wait?05:38
Daisuke_Idoand the search is *still* on for a great usenet binary download client05:39
yurimxpxmanis there an option in apache to not log requests from localhost or your own public IP address?05:39
Kuscheltodmy w=lan is breaking several times, in windows i've used a tool for w-lan adapter... is there a "same" tool at linux?05:39
Dr_willisDaisuke_Ido,  i used pan ages and ages ago. :)05:39
Daisuke_Idopan's nice, doesn't do what i would like05:40
Dr_willisYep all depends on your need.s05:40
Dr_willisI wantd binaries.. but i dident want ALL the ones. :)05:40
Daisuke_Idobnr2 is excellent, but buggy, prone to crashes, and slower than molasses in january with more than a couple large groups05:40
Dr_willisseen several 'grab them all' type programs also..   i think ive even seen some written in perl.05:41
Dr_willisButi havent used any in years05:41
Kuscheltodso... is there a tool which control's the network settings? ^^ (sry... new on this)05:42
=== Igorots is now known as Knightlust
AzzcoKuscheltod: Check your systray there should be a "knetworkmanager" check that out05:43
Dr_willisUnless you closed it. :)05:43
Kuscheltodyeah i've seen that and use it already... but sometimes it lost the whole connection to w-lan, had the same problem in windows and use there another tool and it stops ^^ it try to connect to the network and after that its not more visible to choose (settings correct for the network)05:46
lockdDaisuke_Ido: usenet is not really made for binaries05:50
lockdDaisuke_Ido: hence having few really good ones05:50
Kuscheltodna okay, i'll try different settings in knetworkmanager, thx a lot05:51
Dr_willisBut its the best way to get.. err.... i dont want to go there... :)05:51
Dr_willisheh heh.. gotta love alt.binary.erotica.penguins05:51
Dr_willis:)05:51
lockdI always thought torrent was the best way to grab binaries, because of the way multi files are handled05:52
Dr_willislockd,  usenet has been around for 20+ (perhaps 30+) years.. :)05:52
lockdDr_willis: oh, and where do all the old files stack up?05:53
Dr_willisbest is relative.. :) when it was used ages ago.. it was sort of the only way.05:53
Dr_willislockd,  thats a very very good question. :)05:53
Dr_willisThere used tobe some net archive sites. but no idea whos doing what now a days with them05:53
Dr_willisUsed to  be like once a month in the MAME groups some one sould post all the roms, or a select # very month.05:54
lockdusenet still might be the best. but the only ones i have ever saw are "Paysites"05:54
Dr_willisOf course Now a days all the MAME roms is like 20GB.. vs.. 200mb back then05:54
lockd(only usenet servers, that is)05:54
Dr_willistheres free ones.. :) but it all depends on your needs I guess as to whats best.05:54
Dr_willisI rember the old BBS days.. egads05:55
lockdI can't even find a free text posting that is -decent-05:55
* Dr_willis is old05:55
lockdlet alone binary05:55
Dr_willisTorrents got us all spoiled. :)05:56
lockdbtw, I still like konq over dolphin05:57
Dr_willislockd,  the dolphin in kubuntu - I think. is a bit brain dead.. compared to the  one in KDE4 :) also..05:57
lockdthat could be it05:57
Dr_willisor so i noticed in my kde4 live cd testing last week.05:57
lockdit IS brain dead05:57
lockdand it doesn't handle glob in address bar05:58
lockdkinda nice when searching through roms and such05:58
lockdglob, like *Legend*05:59
Dr_willisI just use MC for my main file manager. :P05:59

ubotutazgodx: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free08:08
posingaspopularlook at that page if you haven't yet08:08
tazgodxit says its empty08:09

corinthHi all, it seems that my cdrom doesn't mount on boot. How do I fix that?09:34
tahircorinth: do you mean the cdrom 'drive' is not being detected? or an actual cdrom disc?09:43
corinthtahir: An actual cdrom disc. For example, I have a game cd I usually keep in the drive. In Ubuntu, I can boot up, and jump in the game. In Kubuntu, I have to navigate to the drive and open it before it mounts so I can use it.09:44

posingaspopulari know because im supposed to be on the docs team11:32
* posingaspopular makes a mental note to write some docs asap11:32
waylandbillposingaspopular: aptitude is there because it was already there from upstream debian. It has an ncurses type gui. adept is for using the qt gui, synaptic, the gtk gui, and apt-get is simple command line.11:34

posingaspopularyea simple...11:34
posingaspopularbashes head into monitor11:34
posingaspopularaptitude is how one gets debian packages in debian/11:34
waylandbillaptitude was the way to actually select packages to install during a debian installation. I think one could have used dselect as well, but aptitude was a huge step forward from dselect.11:36

giuseppethat option is in the save as dialog box14:12
waylandbill_giuseppe: might not matter. Looks like that section of code has a comment that it should be removed in kde 4. :)14:19
waylandbill_giuseppe: in any case, it looks like the application has to set the mime filter before it will enable that option. I don't know if that helps you or not.14:20
giuseppehi waylandbill_: thanks for your answer i ask this because every time i save a file in kwrite without extension, the file is saved as a generic file and not as a text one14:21
giuseppei have to add the .txt extensions to the name of the file to have it saved as text14:22
sunpawSo when my computerp comes on, HAL complains that the wifi card cannot be "attached". And indeed, i cannot get on my campus wifi connection with this laptop. Nobody seems to be able to help me. Im using an Acer Aspire 305014:22
simion314hi, i have a problem with my internet connection, i connect to internet with a non popular modem(i am using a script to turn on the dialup modem) and if i try to configure a network card the internet will not work after restart, i have to disable the card and restart, where could be the problem?14:24
waylandbill_giuseppe: actually, I just tried saving a text file without the txt extension and then clicked on it in dolphin and it opened in kate.14:24
Jucatoafaik, Linux doesn't need file extensions to identify files (although you can try to "fool" it sometimes)14:26
BluesKajsimion314, what network card and modem are you using ?14:26
giuseppewaylandbilll_:  it's strange because sometimes in my case it saves as text and other times as a generic file14:26
waylandbill_giuseppe: I'm not certain, but konqueror and dolphin probably use 'file' to determine what a file is, not an extension.14:26
Jucatowaylandbill_: afaik, KDE uses mimemagic of some sorts. not "file" (someone tried to explain it to me once. had to lie down after the lecture)14:27
simion314BluesKaj: i have a phone with a modem that i connect to internett, is a ZAPP z1130 but i elive that is not use outside romania14:27
Jucatogiuseppe: how are you checking that it's a generic fle and not a text file?14:28
sunpawSo when my computerp comes on, HAL complains that the wifi card cannot be "attached". And indeed, i cannot get on my campus wifi connection with this laptop. Nobody seems to be able to help me. Im using an Acer Aspire 305014:28
waylandbill_Jucato: interesting. file worked rather well. oh well. no biggie.14:28
simion314BluesKaj: ii install it by pasting some scripts in /etc/ppp and running a script after ading a line in etc/resolv.conf14:28
waylandbill_Jucato: hello BTW. :-D14:29
Jucatowaylandbill_: file works. but afaik, KDE3 and file use different mime databases/algorithms I think. KDE4 will be using a more cross-desktop solution I think (fd.o)14:31
Jucatowaylandbill_: hi too :)14:31
simion314BluesKaj:if i enable te network card something is breaking14:31
giuseppeJucato: because if i create it in kwrite and save it without extension sometimes it saves as text other times as a generic file14:31
Jucatogiuseppe: how are you determining that it's a generic file? by looking at the icon? by trying to open it?14:31
giuseppeJucato: yes by looking at the icon14:31
Jucatogiuseppe: that's not very reliable :)14:31
Jucatoso it's not being saved as  a generic file at all. just that the wrong icon is being used14:31

Jucatohm.. ok that's a different case14:32
Jucatoand I doubt the checkbox in the Save file dialog is the solution...14:33
BluesKajsimion314, you could have a dialup and network card conflict...I think you must disable one if the modem is looking for dialup via cellphone service, but I'm not sure14:33
giuseppeJucato: it happens that when i save a file as text sometimes it saves as a generic file an "empy icon"...14:33
giuseppeand i have to open with the dialog box and always choose kwrite or kate14:34

geniisimi: OK. So as i gather: You boot the computer, run the script which directs pppd to use the usb modem, it then seems to connect and work. But then if you disconnect the modem connection, the regular ethernet connection seems not working. then if you start the ethernet connection, it is working but then the modem is not working, etc etc. Is this about it?17:20
jhutchinsalberto: Your reply will be in the server window, not the channel window.17:20
jhutchinsgenii: well... no, shouldn't be.17:21
jhutchinsgenii: Shouldn't be difficult to have two interfaces up, that's how a router works.17:21
geniijhutchins: He has a usb dialup17:21
geniinot usb ADSL/cable17:22
jhutchinsgenii: Figure a dial-up ISP uses a modem on one line and an ethernet connection on the other.17:22
=== ubuntu is now known as patata
geniijhutchins: That is what I would hope, yes17:22
jhutchinsgenii: The first linux project I did was to create a router that automatically connected via the modem when anybody tried to acccess the 'net.17:23
SeregaHey, guys!17:23
jhutchinsgenii: So it talked to the local net via ethernet and a switch, and to the internet via dial-up.17:23
Seregamy friend accidentaly installed (with --force) some version of xlib and he have troubles with it. Who does know how to reinstall native xlib?17:24
SeregaI think it is an apt-related issue17:24
geniijhutchins: I suspected earlier his issue was that default route before script startup was ethX then needs to become pppX so that internet access used usb modem and not ethX. However i think it may be something deeper17:25
jumperzpatata17:25
jumperzguarda sotto17:25
jhutchinsgenii: Yeah, you might need to tweak routing.17:25
jhutchinsgenii: It _should_ sort itself based on the address assigned to each interface.17:26
jumperzpatata per scrivere usa lo spazio accanto al nick17:27
geniijhutchins: I am trying to find out from him what is the exact nature of what is operational/default at what stage so that it can be narrowed which interface needs to be exmained, etc etc17:28
* genii tries to eat some lunch17:28
bacli1hello?17:28
geniisimi: If you are around please describe again the nature of the issue17:28
simigenii: hi17:29
geniijhutchins: Incidentally the linuxrouter and fli4l projects were extremely interesting and useful :)  (as a sidenote)17:29
simigenii: sorry of my nick has changed i am not used with xchat and simi is the user from ubuntu17:30
geniisimi: that is fine :) If you need, choose a different name which does not belong to a registered user.17:32
simigenii: after i restart i try to connect the modem but after 20 seconds the phone stops, i observed this behevior befoure when i used gnome ppp to connect the modem, this to devices will  not worck togheter after reboot17:32
simigenii: simion314 is my registred name, i set this to xchat but i do not know why it loged me with the sesion name17:33
geniisimi: Before you restart and try to reconnect next time, pick up the telephone to see if there is still computer screeching sounds, or if for instance the dial tone sound is normal or different.17:34
simigenii: is not there some kind of config file that sets the mode how linux search the devices that connect to the internet, or it is not this the problem17:34
geniisimi: If you hear still computer screeching sounds when computer has just been turned off, the modem is not being hung-up by the script17:34
simigenii: it works fine the 2 devices togheter, just after rebooting will not work17:35
=== ubuntu is now known as patata

* bcoffiel44 absolute linux newb17:37
bcoffiel44hi all.  are kubuntu and ubuntu the same aside from the kde/gnome interface?17:37
simigenii: it sais there to stop it with command: kill pppd but this not works, and why this meathers,  if the modem is properly close?17:37
geniisimi: Since you have indicated it is the modem which is being problemmatic after rebooting, that is the rreason i am asking you to physically lift up the telephone receiver and listen to see if the script that was provided to you is properly hanging the modem up. Or if it is not detecting a dialtone (eg you have messages waiting or there is something the script is not recognising as a dialtone and prevents it after 20 secinds or so17:38
geniifrom using it etc etc)17:38

Jack111hi bcoffiel4417:40
simigenii: i will try tjat but lather, my ubuntu boots very slow , this is the next problem i want to solve, i belive it makes some suplimentar checks, it checks the file system and this takes ubuntu a lot of time, and other stuff, it boots in 2 or 3 minutes and i have 1200Mhz and 512 RAM17:42
geniiInteresting. The AT DT command is indicating this may indeed be not a dialup modem which uses some telephone line but instead that it is a usb adsl modem. Since i sincerely doubt that #777  is some provider telephone number17:43
jugheadHi, I just changed out my video card to help figure out comp problems, I changed from an nvidia card to an ati card.  When I had the nvidia card I ran "nvidia-settings" to change things like res, refresh, etc.  is there something comparable for ati?17:43
geniieg: OK ATDT#777 \     CONNECT17:44
sillyforprezwhat do i do when the compiz packages in adept are broken?17:45
astockojughead: You can try installing the restricted drivers for your ATI card first of all. Secondly, the nvidia drivers are Ubuntu community supported, the ATI drivers are not, so you'll get much better compatability using your nvidia card.17:46
Jack111nayone an idea how to open word or spreadsheet in a browser tab like in konqueror?17:47
jugheadastocko, I installed the restricted driver using the restricted-driver-manager.  The monitor was randomly going blank (linux&windows) so I changed out vid cards to narrow down the possibilities.  I def. like nvidia more than ati. when nvidia installed, there was a control panel to change the resolution and refresh (a gui); but I don't see anything like that for ati17:48
jugheadwell; I just changed it through the kde control panel; hopefully the changes will stick on reboot17:49
claetussjughead: I get sort of the same thing, resetting the monitor allows it to sync up, I'm also running ATI onboard17:50
spcKDEcan amarok play file shared with samba on lan?17:50
jugheadclaetuss, how do you reset the monitor?  do you mean ctl+alt+bksp for restarting X?17:51
claetussjughead: there are quite a few tutorials out there on getting the res, etc. you want by dicking with your xorg.conf file17:51
claetussjug: no, simplest possible terms: power button (I'm running an hp w2007, it tries to detect res/settings and hangs up)17:52

SalanthHello.23:03
Cannolii plan to XD23:03
SalanthActually, I'm probably in the wrong channel for this.23:03
ardchoilleCannoli: The drivers allow graphics instesive stuff to be taken off the CPU and handled by the video card23:03
ardchoilleSalanth: You won't know until you ask :)23:03
holeinoneI screwed up my kdm file in init.d Can  someone help me?23:03
Cannoliwill it cause any harm if i install them?23:03
ardchoilleCannoli: I have installed them on 200+ machines and never had a problem. Which card do you have?23:04
SalanthAlright.  KDE4.  Usually I'm good at figuring things out...Any way to customize the menu bar? (The default one on the bottom.)  Oh, and maybe tone down a bit of the effects.23:04

Cannolioh yea i know how to install it, the driver manager thing came up and asked me23:05

Cannoliawesome thank you23:06
* Cannoli needs a restart23:06
Cannolibrb23:06
rysiek|plCannoli: it's not you messing the system up, but the system installing the drivers for your card23:06
ardchoilleCannoli: I hear that ati drivers have quite improved lately23:06
rysiek|plmeh, too slow23:06
angasulewhat's a good app to use hot corners? mostly I'd like a "show desktop" in the upper left and I'm sure I can think of something for the lower right (both of which have no useful widget there anyway)23:06
rysiek|plangasule: are you using compiz?23:06
angasulerysiek|pl: no, I find compiz doesn't get along too well with KDE, I'll wait till KDE423:07
rysiek|plangasule: ah, ok. in that case I have no idea what you could get in those corners. konsole? bring up som app from tray (like kmail/kopete)?23:08
ardchoilleangasule: If you're just wanting menu drop shadows, transparency and some other light stuff, kde can do that on its own.23:08
dannybuntu_wot23:08
* rysiek|pl 's gonna get some tea23:09
dannybuntu_aiiiie somebody stole my name23:09
rysiek|planybody? ;)23:09
SalanthOh.23:09
claetusscannoli: in my limited experience, some stuff designed for gnome runs poorly under kde and vice versa, but most times is works23:09
SalanthAngasule.  There's a setting for that I believe.23:09
angasulerysiek|pl: *how* do I get hot corners? I don't care about compiz, hot corners and 3D effects are unrelated23:09
SalanthLet me check real fast...23:09
LjLangasule, i think you don't.23:10
=== dannybuntu_ is now known as dannybuntu
Salanthangasule: Darn, that setting doesn't work.23:10
LjLangasule: for having a "Show Desktop" thing on a corner, however, you might perhaps live with the following: create a new panel, make it 0% length, place it bottom-left (or whatever), set it as hidden, and add a "Show Desktop" applet to it. then you'll have to squash the mouse to the bottom right corner *and* hit the left mouse button23:11
benediktHallo23:11
angasuleLjL: hmm, that's not entirely awful, thanks :)23:12
ardchoilleLjL: That's actually a nice idea23:13
* ardchoille writes that down23:13
LjLardchoille: i've done it for ages... although i didn't *want* to =) i'm doing it because, while KDE insists on needing to have a "main" panel which can't be removed, i don't *want* such a main panel, since my "main" panel is the menubar23:14
=== tiborio__ is now known as tiborio
LjLso i made the main panel tiny and hidden, and though i could put Show Desktop on it just to make it do something23:14
ardchoilleLjL: Sounds cool.. I don't use my panel at all either, so it's good to know how to hide it like that23:15
=== dannybuntu is now known as dannybuntu_
rysiek|plangasule: ah, right, sorry. I thought you asked what could you do with your hot corners, missed the first part of the question23:15
angasuleLjL: hmm, I right click on the new panel (I already added the 'show desktop' applet), select 'configure panel'... and I get the configure stuff for my main panel instead23:16
jonryshThanks genii23:16
geniiLjL: Isn't that like that old 1 pixel transparent gif trick?23:16
LjLangasule, but there is a selection box at the top of the tab, with "Settings for: main panel"23:16
geniijonrysh: yw23:17
LjLgenii, i don't know about that trick... i know this one requires a mouseclick. and it isn't really a trick, it's just a quite standard panel with only one icon on it23:17
angasuleLjL: what tab?23:17
angasuleLjL: in the Configure - KDE Panel stuff I don't have any such thing23:17
=== dannybuntu_ is now known as dannybuntu
LjLangasule: i mean just the settings window, "Arrangement" icon/tab/page/whatyoucallit23:18

ardchoillejonrysh: sudo apt-get install firefox23:20
Cannolilike i see a black screen23:20
Cannoliand thats it23:20
angasuleLjL: what version of Kubuntu are you using? what version of KDE? I don't have that drop down23:20
epimethdoes anyone know how to check if there are updates / which updates are available after running apt-get update *without* running upgrade?23:21
LjLangasule: gutsy 3.5.823:21
angasuleLjL: same here, it's very odd, why wouldn't I have that drop down??23:21

Cannoliardchoille: it messed up, now when the log in screen is suppose to come up i just get stuck at a black screen the a tenth of that screen is missing on the left hand side23:23
ardchoilleangasule: I noticed that I didn't have that drop-down menu either until I opened the panel config in kcontrol23:24

jonrysh(Repeating)  I'm running an x86_64 system and want to install the 32-bit version of firefox.  What's the easy way to do this?23:26
epimethalso... I checked out the help on WPA ad it said it should be installed by default, then mentioned a wpa supplicant I have to install?  how do I install wpa support for knetwork manager? just apt-get wpa_supplicant ?23:27
LjLangasule: you mean "raise when the pointer touches..."?23:27
claetussjonrysh: I just looked for firefox in adept and it hooked me up23:28
LjLsyke: i'm afraid it won't allow you install or uninstall anything now... (as for the setting kdm-kde4 as default, haven't tried, i followed the instructions for kdm 3)23:28
angasuleLjL: hmm, even *after* going to kcontrol, if I right click on it and go to settings, it shows the settings for the main panel, so it's a bug23:28
toggi hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options refused uid 100023:29

toggihow to fix that ?23:29
LjLangasule: it most likely is, but i still wonder why *i* see it. perhaps try logging out and in23:29
=== toggi is now known as ToGGi
claetussgenii, jonrysh: my bad, I just realized that23:29
geniijonrysh: The method to install the 32 bit version is described in the post I referred you to earlier23:30
ToGGiany one know how i can fix this problem?? " hal-storage-fixed-mount-all-options refused uid 1000"23:30
geniiIn fact any 32 bit version of an app into the 64 bit ubuntu, using the getlib23:30
angasuleLjL: kinda busy at the moment for that, at least now it's working23:30
LjLangasule: (as an aside, anyway, i don't even have "raise when the pointer touches corner" enabled - all i have is "hide automatically - immediately", with no animation)23:31
holeinonegenii <- executed "sudo apt-get install --reinstall kdm" but init.d/kdm was not replaced23:31
zerthdy23:31
zertchong23:31
angasulehmm, and 'show desktop' isn't a toggle, which is a bit annoying23:31

flaccidyou can always check the md5sum for integrity23:56
keithflaccic: that's it. will k3b still read it as an iso?23:57
