| bobfarley | Dr_willis you hit a dvd+- boot problem with old dvd drives | 00:00 |
| Minataku | bobfarley: I've had plenty of working OSes fail to boot on some machines | 00:00 |
| dga | so then it's eyecandy(gnome&compiz-fusion) vs. solid desktop environment (kde) | 00:00 |
| perrako | and I can load the firefox extension pages but it won't let me install any of them (clicking the install does nothing) | 00:00 |
| Minataku | Oooh, cool, another episode of How It's Made | 00:00 |
| perrako | videos won't load from any site.... it's so bizarre | 00:00 |
| Dr_willis | bobfarley, these were all decemntly new machines.. I wonder if the one it did boot on was the old machine.. i forget which one it was now. :) | 00:00 |
| Minataku | dga: Don't forget that both GNOME and Compiz are poorly written, lousy and ugly | 00:00 |
| bobfarley | and gOS image now fits on a cdr | 00:00 |
| bobfarley | http://www.thinkgos.com/ | 00:01 |
| Dr_willis | bobfarley, i was on a cd when i tried it. | 00:01 |
| stdin | bobfarley: read the topic, then take it to -offtopic | 00:01 |
| Minataku | Ew | 00:01 |
| dga | Minataku ugly? compiz looks so cool | 00:01 |
| Minataku | It looks like frickin' OSX | 00:01 |
| Minataku | gOS, that is | 00:01 |
| Minataku | I hate all this eyecandy garbage | 00:01 |
| dga | Minataku can i see your desktop? | 00:02 |
| Minataku | All the time and computational power wasted on stupid window animations | 00:02 |

| Grav3Mind | Hey guys | 00:02 |
| Minataku | Let me make another screenshot of it | 00:02 |
| bobfarley | i run kde-core, then add the stuff I need/want | 00:02 |
| Grav3Mind | does anyone know if theres a multi desktop effect like the one for OSX that when you swtich desktops it gives you cool effects like turning a cube or the desktop slides off to the left or right | 00:03 |
| Dragnslcr | !compiz | Grav3Mind | 00:04 |
| ubotu | Grav3Mind: 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 | 00:04 |
| Grav3Mind | also | 00:05 |
| Grav3Mind | one last thing | 00:05 |
| Minataku | Processing image | 00:05 |
| dga | Minataku thanks | 00:05 |
| corinth | I want to webcam with my friends over the MSN client. What program do you suggest I use? | 00:05 |
| Grav3Mind | i know there is stuff for ubuntu and gnome for making linux look like osx | 00:05 |
| Grav3Mind | but is there one for Kubuntu? | 00:05 |
| stdin | I wonder if someone is going to post an image here, when it should clearly go in -offtopic... | 00:05 |
| stdin | corinth: kopete can do that I think | 00:06 |
| Minataku | Uploading | 00:06 |
| stdin | Grav3Mind: compiz works on both, despite it's buggyness | 00:06 |
| Minataku | http://s95018220.onlinehome.us/random/desktop.png << Here ya go. My desktop. | 00:07 |
| Minataku | I was not warned of any such specific thing | 00:07 |
| stdin | I did say "I wonder if someone is going to post an image here, when it should clearly go in -offtopic..." | 00:07 |
| Grav3Mind | basically i wanna do this but with kde | 00:07 |
| Grav3Mind | http://www.taimila.com/?q=node/11 | 00:07 |
| stdin | I also said to take offtopic to -offtopic | 00:07 |
| Minataku | That is not a warning, that is speculation | 00:07 |
| stdin | several times | 00:07 |
| stdin | and you should know it's offtopic regardless | 00:08 |
| charlesg3 | does anyone know where 'startkde' is supposed to be called from after logging in? | 00:08 |
| Dr_willis | I would post my desktop. but its just 4 Terminal windows tiled. :P | 00:08 |
| Minataku | Heh | 00:08 |
| Minataku | Look at mine, it's just the Fluxbox slit | 00:09 |
| Minataku | And a sexy wallpaper, of course | 00:09 |
| Minataku | Set just for the screenshot occasion | 00:09 |
| Minataku | But head to the OT channel so stdin can stop throwing his weight around | 00:09 |
| stdin | stop being off topic and I won't have to | 00:10 |
| Grav3Mind | so did anyone read my on topic question | 00:10 |
| Grav3Mind | thats not about compiz | 00:10 |
| Grav3Mind | i posted link that shows you how to change your ubuntu/gnome install of linux to look like OSX | 00:11 |
| Grav3Mind | but i wanna do it with kubuntu | 00:11 |
| ardchoille | Grav3Mind: Something like this? http://ardchoille42.googlepages.com/kde-osx1.jpg | 00:12 |
| ubuntu | browser cannot find host, but IRC works...any suggestions? | 00:12 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu, oddly enough ive seen others in here asking that.. and i never have seen/herard how/Why thats even possible. | 00:13 |
| Grav3Mind | looks good to me ardchoille | 00:13 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu, this is with all web sites? how about their ip address? can you ping google.com ? | 00:13 |
| Grav3Mind | thats what i wat | 00:13 |
| ardchoille | Grav3Mind: There's a tutorial for it, look at the last three links here: | 00:13 |
| ubuntu | pings OK | 00:13 |
| Grav3Mind | what links? | 00:14 |
| Dr_willis | so ' ping google.com ' and 'ping 72.14.207.99 ' both work ubuntu ? | 00:14 |
| ardchoille | Grav3Mind: http://ardchoille42.googlepages.com/ | 00:14 |
| ardchoille | Grav3Mind: In that tutorial install "kwin-baghira" and start at step 2, since you don't need to compile baghira. | 00:14 |
| Grav3Mind | hmmmm | 00:15 |
| Grav3Mind | guys i have another question | 00:15 |
| ardchoille | Grav3Mind: sudo apt-get install kwin-baghira, then contiue with the tutorial, no need to compile baghira | 00:15 |
| Minataku | That would be KDE's idiocy | 00:15 |
| Grav3Mind | how hard would it be to install ubuntu | 00:15 |
| Grav3Mind | ON the same HDD | 00:15 |
| Grav3Mind | with kubuntu | 00:15 |
| ubuntu | pinged with the url and with the ip just fine | 00:15 |
| ardchoille | Grav3Mind: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 00:15 |
| Minataku | KDE requires KDE apps to connect to the internet through it's stupid network manager | 00:15 |
| Grav3Mind | from konsole? | 00:16 |
| Dr_willis | Grav3Mind, you can easially have 2+ desktops on the same machine.. no need to 'install' 2 whole os's | 00:16 |
| Grav3Mind | and that works? | 00:16 |
| Minataku | If it's useless network manager doesn't see the network, neither does any crappy KDE application | 00:16 |
| ardchoille | Grav3Mind: yes, that will get you the ubuntu desktop | 00:16 |
| Grav3Mind | cause i want gnome | 00:16 |
| Minataku | You know, because useless abstraction layers are all the rage | 00:16 |
| Dr_willis | then the login screen has a menu to pick what desktop. No haxoring needed like in windows - to change desktps here | 00:16 |
| ubuntu | works | 00:16 |
| ardchoille | yes, ubuntu-desktop is the gnome desktop | 00:16 |
| Dr_willis | Grav3Mind, then install 'ubuntu-desktop' set it to use GDM when it asks if you want to use gdm. | 00:16 |
| corinth | Anyone know how I can set my desktop folder launchers to open in dolphin instead of konqurer? | 00:16 |
| Grav3Mind | awesome!!! so just run that command and let it go? | 00:17 |
| Dr_willis | !dolphin | 00:17 |
| Grav3Mind | i love linux ^_^ | 00:17 |
| ubotu | 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. | 00:17 |
| ubuntu | thanks | 00:17 |
| Dr_willis | corinth, follow those directions (only in reverse) :) | 00:17 |
| Dr_willis | What ever is on top is the default. | 00:17 |
| Grav3Mind | heres hoping nothing screws up when i run this command! lol | 00:18 |
| Dr_willis | Grav3Mind, you are thinking in 'windows terms' again. :) | 00:19 |
| vit_ | lamorena_89_42@hotmail.com | 00:19 |
| Dr_willis | Grav3Mind, on a clean kubuntu install one of the first things i install is Ubuntu-desktop. and even xubuntu-desktop | 00:19 |
| Minataku | Ew | 00:19 |
| Dr_willis | and mc, and 100 other packages. :) i got a script | 00:19 |
| Grav3Mind | so would it be sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 00:19 |
| * Dr_willis installs Vice for Minataku | 00:19 | |
| Minataku | ? | 00:20 |
| Dr_willis | Grav3Mind, if you wanted the Xfce desktop yes. thats xubuntu | 00:20 |
| corinth | Dr_willis: I have a link to my external drive on my desktop, and I can't get it to auto open with dolphin instead of konq | 00:20 |
| Grav3Mind | i friggin love linux | 00:20 |
| vit_ | lamorena_89_42@hotmail.com | 00:20 |
| Grav3Mind | lol | 00:20 |
| Grav3Mind | im a long time linux user | 00:20 |
| Minataku | If you want what you saw in my desktop screenshot, that's Fluxbox | 00:20 |
| Dr_willis | corinth, i never touch dolphin. so cant help ya there. | 00:20 |
| Grav3Mind | theres only one reason i still have to use windows | 00:20 |
| Grav3Mind | actually two | 00:21 |
| Grav3Mind | some games and itunes | 00:21 |
| Grav3Mind | thats ALL | 00:21 |
| Krickey | ew, itunes | 00:21 |
| Grav3Mind | i like itunes for one reason | 00:21 |
| Grav3Mind | because when i burn a cd | 00:21 |
| Grav3Mind | once a year lol | 00:21 |
| Grav3Mind | it lets me do volume normalizing so that ALL the songs are the same volume | 00:21 |
| Grav3Mind | thats ALL | 00:21 |
| Dr_willis | i make it a point to have as little to do with APPLE as possible. :) | 00:22 |
| Grav3Mind | and the other game that doesnt work is called Hero online and maple story | 00:22 |
| Krickey | oh lord | 00:22 |
| Dr_willis | Grav3Mind, im pretty sure ive seen that feature in other tools as well. | 00:22 |
| * Krickey leaves the crazy mapple story person | 00:22 | |
| Minataku | Apple is ten times as evil as Microsoft | 00:22 |
| bobfarley | so its not all closed source that's hated. | 00:22 |
| Dr_willis | Then again. i never notice the problem with my Kenny G. Mix's :P | 00:22 |
| Grav3Mind | lol hush krickey | 00:22 |
| Minataku | Apple's "open source" is a flaming joke | 00:22 |
| Krickey | mapple story is possible worse than runescape | 00:23 |
| moofoo | !info mp3gain | Grav3Mind | 00:23 |
| Krickey | it's more colorful, but sooooo repetitive | 00:23 |
| moofoo | :) | 00:23 |

| bobfarley | maplestory has alot of users | 00:24 |
| Krickey | and yes it is :) | 00:24 |
| Grav3Mind | its asking me to configure it | 00:24 |
| Grav3Mind | is there anything i should do imparticular | 00:24 |
| Tarin | i added a bad repos and now i cant use apt or adept | 00:24 |
| Grav3Mind | its the blue and grey screen inside console | 00:24 |
| Krickey | i tried it before, it was completely full of fail, but whatever floats short-attentioned span peoples boats | 00:25 |
| Grav3Mind | its not in the adept installer | 00:26 |
| Grav3Mind | *googling* | 00:26 |
| Dr_willis | maplestory was an amuseing little diversion a week ago..:) played it for about 2 hrs.. befor the kids took it away from me | 00:26 |
| stdin | Grav3Mind: use adept manager, not adept installer | 00:26 |
| khumba_yo | Tarin - did you repair your / etc / apt / sources.list ? just let all inofficial repos out of it (put comment marks like ## at the beginning ) | 00:28 |

| Dr_willis | Grav3Mind, you pick what one to loging to from the Login screen | 00:34 |
| Dr_willis | You can easially run kde and gnome apps on each others desktop | 00:34 |
| Dr_willis | Ive seen no hassles with mixxing the2 | 00:34 |
| Grav3Mind | yeah but im saying if i install compiz on kde will it install on gnome | 00:34 |
| hydrogen | however | 00:34 |
| Dr_willis | It used to be ages ago. there were some issues. | 00:34 |
| hydrogen | using gnome has been proven to halve your IQ | 00:34 |
| hydrogen | so I'd suggest doing it only has a last resort | 00:34 |
| Dr_willis | Grav3Mind, you dont install compiz on kde or gnome. :) you ENABLE it for gnome or kde. its installed to the OS. | 00:35 |
| Dr_willis | Gnome is a bit easier to enable compiz with. | 00:35 |
| Grav3Mind | ahh ok | 00:35 |
| hydrogen | half*... as you can see, I used gnome once | 00:35 |
| khumba_yo | Tarin - this site might help: https://help.ubuntu.com/7.10/add-applications/C/index.html | 00:35 |
| Dr_willis | one issue with using compiz on KDE, and gnome both.. is that the compiz settings get shared btween both desktops. So wiggly windows off under gnome..will also turn them off when you log into KDE and enable compiz | 00:35 |
| khumba_yo | .. or have you ever used an editor to edit a text file? | 00:36 |
| Minataku | The wallpaper from that screenshot is on my webspace now | 00:36 |

| khumba_yo | Tarin - you have to start an editor like kate with the root-privilege - i mean "kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list" | 00:55 |

| Grav3Mind | does it come that way? | 00:58 |
| Dr_willis | IF using compiz however. you Must use the ccsm tool and its general->dektops tab | 00:58 |

| Grav3Mind | i wanna change the effect | 00:59 |

| Dr_willis | i find that gnome and kde both are a bit sluggish when used under vnc. I tend to use vncserver set to run fluxbox, or jwm, or icewm | 01:11 |
| nonewmsgs | well i like to pretend to be social with my family so i watch tv while using my laptop to conect to one of my "main computers" | 01:11 |
| bmk789 | moofoo: got my remote working, thanks for the help | 01:15 |
| Gargoyle76 | Minataku - U still there? | 01:16 |
| Dr_willis | nonewmsgs, You can also use xming and the xdmcp stuff. or freenx - dependong on your OS and needs. :) | 01:17 |
| Gargoyle76 | dang | 01:17 |
| nonewmsgs | i dont even know those ones yet :o | 01:17 |
| Minataku | Yes | 01:18 |
| Dr_willis | with 2 linux machines (or other ways) you can have X have an app run on one machine. but appear on a different machines display. :) | 01:18 |
| * jessy_james buona notte a tutti | 01:18 | |
| lockd | Dr_willis: that can be hellishly slow though | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | lockd, yep it can. ;) | 01:19 |
| Dr_willis | when i copy files to files - its noticeable. Im using xchat now over xdmcp with xming. | 01:19 |
| Gargoyle76 | I can't get the service to start | 01:19 |
| moofoo | bmk789: sweet.. what was it? (for reference?) | 01:19 |
| bmk789 | moofoo: nvidia RF remote, works now as mouse and controls amarok, kaffeine, etc | 01:21 |
| bmk789 | wait | 01:21 |
| Gargoyle76 | *gone* | 01:21 |
| moofoo | bmk789: i meant how did you fix it ; | 01:21 |
| moofoo | ;) | 01:21 |
| bmk789 | i realized that once i sent the message | 01:21 |
| bmk789 | shoulda taken a second glace | 01:22 |
| nonewmsgs | you know what i would really, really like to do? i remember back when i was in college i used to map a network drive between 2 NT machines and use napster to download straight to a remote drive, and i could play them from that drive the same way. i want to know if i can set up a machine to basically just handle the 2nd part of that to both windows and 'nix | 01:22 |
| nonewmsgs | like a magic remote folder that pretends to be local. | 01:22 |
| Minataku | !samba | 01:22 |
| ubotu | samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT | 01:22 |
| Tarin | why wont Kate let me save | 01:22 |
| bmk789 | um, i just had to purge lirc then reinstall and use the default config, and use the right remote in irkick | 01:22 |
| Dr_willis | nonewmsgs, thers dozens of tools/ways to do that. :) | 01:23 |
| Minataku | If you're editing a file that you don't have permission to write to, you can't save it | 01:23 |
| Minataku | Same if you're trying to save a file to a directory that you don't have write access to | 01:23 |
| moofoo | bmk789: i see .. so the "it could have worked in the first place approach" ;-) | 01:23 |
| Tarin | but i am the only user | 01:23 |
| Dr_willis | nonewmsgs, check out the samba fuse tool. for samba. :) thers a ssh fuse tool that dioes it for ssh connections, and a ftp fuse for ftp servers... | 01:23 |
| Dr_willis | nonewmsgs, all of them make a remote machine/service appear as a local dir. | 01:24 |
| BluesKaj | Tarin, did you open kate with your password or kdesu | 01:24 |
| Minataku | There are always two users on a Unix machine (or at least should be) | 01:24 |
| Minataku | root, and a non-privliged user | 01:24 |
| Minataku | root is ONLY FOR SYSTEM ADMINISTRATION | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | and bgates :) | 01:24 |
| * Dr_willis ducks. | 01:24 | |
| bmk789 | moofoo: yep, i didnt expect the config to be the same as the remote listed so i kept trying other configs only to have the right one under my nose the whole time | 01:24 |
| Minataku | The non-privliged user is what you always use for everything else | 01:24 |
| nonewmsgs | is it still real hard? the last time i messed with samba i was having man-sized issues | 01:25 |
| Tarin | ok so how do i get access to save in files | 01:25 |
| brad12345 | is there a way to manage/force antialiasing and anisotropic filtering? i'm not able to find a setting for it | 01:25 |
| BluesKaj | Tarin, how did you open the file ? | 01:25 |
| Dr_willis | nonewmsgs, i never found it real hard.. but i did read the 'using samba' book. :) | 01:25 |
| Tarin | went to user folders then to the root folder | 01:26 |
| Dr_willis | brad12345, i thought there was sone nvidia-* tool that could do that.. (but ive never messed with those settings) | 01:26 |
| Tarin | in konqueror | 01:26 |
| nonewmsgs | is using samba a free ebook or one of those expensive things like i sell all day at work | 01:27 |
| brad12345 | hmm, yah and i have an ati card... you think that tool would work maybe? | 01:27 |
| Dr_willis | Tarin, what are you tryign to do exactly? | 01:27 |
| Dr_willis | !info samba-doc | 01:27 |
| ubotu | samba-doc: Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.26a-1ubuntu2.2 (gutsy), package size 6816 kB, installed size 14752 kB | 01:27 |
| Dr_willis | nonewmsgs, is in the samba-doc package.. and some other books also are in there. :) | 01:27 |
| nonewmsgs | sweetness | 01:27 |
| Tarin | i added an svn to my apt repo not thinking about it | 01:27 |
| Tarin | now i need to delete it or comment it out | 01:28 |
| Dr_willis | Tarin, 'sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list' and change it. | 01:28 |
| Dr_willis | thats the easy way | 01:28 |
| BluesKaj | Tarin, copy the file path , beginning with the first / and open the k-menu , choose run command and type kdesu kate /pathtofilename | 01:28 |
| Dr_willis | or like BluesKaj says use kdesu and a graphical editor. | 01:28 |
| Tarin | i used the konsole | 01:30 |
| Tarin | i want to get as used to using the command line as much as possible | 01:30 |
| BluesKaj | then do Dr_willis' suggestion | 01:30 |
| * Dr_willis gives Tarin a Gold Star | 01:30 | |
| Dr_willis | :) | 01:30 |
| BluesKaj | it makes no diff it's still going open kate no matter what , i see no advantage to the cli for opening and editing files,but this is an old windows dude talking :) | 01:32 |
| brad12345 | I'm a super linux noob and i must say: linux is pretty awesome | 01:32 |
| Dr_willis | If he ever has a case where X is dead.. now he knows how to use nano. :) | 01:33 |
| brad12345 | what is the best way / program to compile source code?? | 01:33 |
| Dr_willis | brad12345, with a text editor? and a C compiler? | 01:33 |
| BluesKaj | yeah , ok | 01:33 |
| NickPresta | brad12345, we need more information to help you better | 01:34 |
| nonewmsgs | i like anjuta | 01:34 |
| Dr_willis | brad12345, you might watn to clarify the question a bit. :) | 01:34 |
| brad12345 | i've been trying though the konsole with ./configure | 01:34 |
| brad12345 | hmm | 01:34 |
| Dr_willis | ./confogure is normally used as part of source code packages.. yes... | 01:34 |
| Dr_willis | it then makes a config file after checking a lot of things , for make to use. | 01:34 |
| Minataku | I used to use Windows, but I do everything from the CLI | 01:34 |
| brad12345 | okay | 01:34 |
| Minataku | Dr_Willis: Actually, the configure script makes the makefile itself | 01:35 |
| Minataku | The downside is that the guy who made the program has to make the configure script | 01:35 |
| Minataku | If it doesn't come with one, you have to hope it's all in place | 01:35 |
| Minataku | My luck compiling things without configure scripts is about 40% | 01:35 |
| Dr_willis | Yep :) saw a configyure script once that required tcsh (i think) which confused the heck out of me for a bit... | 01:35 |
| brad12345 | okay...i;ve had pretty poor goings so far. but from what i've read it can be a tricky process | 01:36 |
| Dr_willis | brad12345, what can be tricky? gettibng basic C stuff compiling, and written? | 01:36 |
| BluesKaj | Minataku, I've encountered quite a few tarballs that don't come with a configure script or make or even make install scripts ...they have 'install' scripts | 01:37 |
| brad12345 | well, for instance, downloading a tar.gz file from sourceforge and then trying to get it into a working app | 01:37 |
| Dr_willis | brad12345, rather straight forward. | 01:38 |
| Dr_willis | gee.. a dcc offer.. how nice of you Barbecue | 01:38 |
| NickPresta | Dr_willis, I was thinking the same thing. I don't need 8 copies of "mirc.ini" | 01:38 |
| Minataku | Heh | 01:38 |
| Dr_willis | NickPresta, i only got offered 3! | 01:38 |
| Dr_willis | :P | 01:38 |
| Minataku | Barbecue: Send it here, I want to pick it apart and see what you're spreading | 01:39 |
| Minataku | You know, for the report to the police | 01:39 |

| Grav3Mind | hey guys what was the command line to install Xubuntu from console? | 02:06 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | Grav3Mind, dont you need to boot to a cd to install it ? | 02:08 |
| Grav3Mind | nope | 02:08 |
| Grav3Mind | just the desktop environment | 02:08 |
| Grav3Mind | does anyone know | 02:08 |
| bazhang | Grav3Mind: you mean xubuntu-desktop? | 02:08 |
| Grav3Mind | yes | 02:08 |
| Grav3Mind | i got it | 02:09 |
| Grav3Mind | nvm | 02:09 |
| bazhang | sudo apt-get install | 02:09 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | what WM does xubuntu use ? | 02:10 |
| Grav3Mind | sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 02:10 |
| scooter_ | ok i need a major hand from someone who knows what they're doing | 02:10 |
| Grav3Mind | its that actually | 02:10 |
| NickPresta | scooter_, ask your question. Those who know will try to help :) | 02:10 |
| scooter_ | i got an install package for flashplayer, and its not installing | 02:11 |
| scooter_ | well, it is but its not installing completely | 02:11 |
| scooter_ | parts of it are left out | 02:11 |
| bazhang | BluDog_Anchorite: xfce | 02:12 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | like the plugin you have to copy by hand to the ./.mozilla dir ? | 02:12 |
| scooter_ | but i dont have mozilla | 02:12 |
| scooter_ | i just use konqueror | 02:12 |
| scooter_ | and i dont know how to donwload anything for kubuntu | 02:12 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | well, if lynx would ever time out, i could check the package name | 02:13 |
| NickPresta | !flash | scooter_ | 02:13 |
| ubotu | scooter_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 02:13 |
| NickPresta | have you tried that, scooter_ | 02:13 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | sudo apt-get install flashplayer-nonfree | 02:14 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | er flashplugin-nonfree . my bad | 02:14 |
| scooter_ | i dont even know what distribution i have | 02:16 |
| scooter_ | im really pathetic when it comes to linux | 02:17 |
| NickPresta | scooter_, did you install your distribution? | 02:17 |
| scooter_ | yea, but i dont have the cd on me anymore and i forgot what i installed | 02:19 |
| scooter_ | but i think its 6.06 | 02:19 |
| Grav3Mind | i just downloaded the Xubuntu desktop on my kubuntu installation | 02:20 |
| scooter_ | ok yes kubuntu 6.06 | 02:21 |
| Greythane | checkout http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux | 02:21 |
| Greythane | download the .gz, extract it and install it | 02:21 |
| scooter_ | ok i extracted it, but all i get is a shared library, and unknown and a shell script file | 02:24 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | this irc client feels like nano | 02:26 |
| mneptok | uh ... | 02:26 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | rhapsody | 02:26 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | i think i like irssi better | 02:27 |
| Greythane | run the shell script | 02:27 |
| scooter_ | with what | 02:28 |
| scooter_ | konsole? | 02:28 |
| Greythane | yes.. sorry.. run konsole, cd to the extract directory and then ./flashplayer-installer | 02:30 |
| scooter_ | how do i cd to the extract directory | 02:31 |
| scooter_ | i feel like an idiot im sorry | 02:31 |
| Greythane | if you downloaded to your home directory/desktop then | 02:32 |
| scooter_ | i saved it on desktop | 02:32 |
| Greythane | cd /home/(myusername)/desktop/(flashdir) | 02:32 |
| Greythane | you might need 'Desktop' if it barfs.. case sensitive | 02:33 |
| Greythane | cd /home/scooter/Desktop/flash-install or similar | 02:34 |
| scooter_ | ok | 02:35 |
| Grav3Mind | can anyone see the links here | 02:35 |
| scooter_ | im in the dir | 02:35 |
| Grav3Mind | http://svn.xgl-coffee.org/xgl-coffee/trunk/startxgl | 02:36 |
| Greythane | type in ./flash-installer (enter) and you shoud see things happen | 02:36 |
| angelv | hi | 02:36 |
| Grav3Mind | i need the xgl-startup-script for Xfce session | 02:36 |
| Grav3Mind | but its all blank | 02:37 |
| angelv | I try to install the nvidia drivers on 7.10, I intall all correct, but I reboot my systems I no start X, I need re-install drivers | 02:37 |
| angelv | any problem report? | 02:37 |
| scooter_ | i dont have mozilla installed | 02:37 |
| scooter_ | where can i get it | 02:37 |
| scooter_ | and who can talk me through installing it | 02:38 |
| ryan-c | any way i can figure out why my screensaver won't start? | 02:38 |
| Tarin | any one here use compiz and emerald theme manager | 02:38 |
| NickPresta | scooter_, use Adept to install applications | 02:38 |
| scooter_ | ok | 02:38 |
| NickPresta | Tarin, I use Compiz-Fusion and Emerald | 02:38 |
| Tarin | i was looking at the themes in emerald but how do i actually apply them | 02:38 |
| Greythane | scooter - xubuntu? correct? | 02:39 |
| NickPresta | Tarin, you should just click on them. The changes should be instant | 02:39 |
| scooter_ | kubuntu | 02:39 |
| Greythane | KMenu > system > Adept then filter for firefox | 02:39 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | so, is e17 in a repo yet, or do i still need to build it by hand ? | 02:40 |
| scooter_ | it says its installed | 02:40 |
| scooter_ | but i cant find it anywhere on the system | 02:40 |
| Greythane | KMenu > Internet > ?? | 02:41 |
| scooter_ | no just konqueror | 02:42 |
| scooter_ | thats all that i have | 02:42 |
| Greythane | adept says firefox is installed? | 02:42 |
| scooter_ | yea | 02:42 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | try typing firefox in a terminal | 02:42 |
| Greythane | .. or KMenu > run | 02:43 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | asuming he is using K | 02:43 |
| scooter_ | i tried run | 02:43 |
| scooter_ | it doesnt work | 02:43 |
| Greythane | kubuntu :) | 02:43 |
| tyan | how can you get a terminal to automatically be logged in as a certain user... and in a certain directory..... `getty -n -l /bin/bash 38400 tty9` works but its in the /dev directory, not home | 02:43 |
| Tarin | does it say installed or install? | 02:44 |
| scooter_ | installed | 02:44 |
| scooter_ | under status right? | 02:44 |
| scooter_ | like im looking in the right place? | 02:44 |
| Tarin | have you applied at the top of the screen? | 02:44 |
| scooter_ | apply isnt available | 02:45 |
| scooter_ | i didnt change n e thing | 02:45 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | what does sudo apt-get install firefox say | 02:46 |
| NickPresta | scooter_, open up a Konsole (alt + F2 and type in konsole). Then type: sudo apt-get install firefox | 02:46 |
| Grav3Mind | anyone know where i can get xgl-startup-script for Xfce session | 02:46 |
| scooter_ | Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock | 02:47 |
| NickPresta | scooter_, you have to close Adept | 02:47 |
| scooter_ | my bad | 02:47 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | killall adept && sudo apt-get install firefox | 02:47 |
| scooter_ | it says that it couldnt' be found | 02:48 |
| scooter_ | ? | 02:48 |
| scooter_ | refered to by another package | 02:48 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | sudo apt-get install mozilla-firefox | 02:49 |
| scooter_ | following packages replace it: libnss3 | 02:49 |
| scooter_ | same thing | 02:49 |
| scooter_ | i cant just get a package and install it? | 02:50 |
| Grav3Mind | can anyone help me? no one in Xubuntu will help at all | 02:50 |
| Grav3Mind | #xubuntu that is | 02:50 |
| NickPresta | scooter_, most GNU+Linux distributions don't work that way. You use your package manager. | 02:50 |
| Grav3Mind | i just need one file | 02:50 |
| NickPresta | Grav3Mind, ask in #compiz-fusion | 02:50 |
| Grav3Mind | or lines of code rather | 02:50 |
| Grav3Mind | ah ok thanks !!! | 02:51 |
| scooter_ | yea thas what i was affraid of | 02:51 |
| scooter_ | it says its installed though | 02:51 |
| NickPresta | scooter_, is there any reason you're using Kubuntu 6.06? | 02:51 |
| scooter_ | yea, it was the only version i had | 02:51 |
| NickPresta | scooter, why don't you upgrade? | 02:51 |
| scooter_ | idk how | 02:51 |
| scooter_ | i feel like a nooooob | 02:51 |
| NickPresta | !upgrade > NickPresta | 02:51 |
| scooter_ | how do i upgrade | 02:52 |
| NickPresta | scooter_, are you sure you have Kubuntu 6.06? Open up Konsole and run "lsb_release -a" | 02:52 |
| Dragnslcr | Upgrading from 6.06 could take a while | 02:52 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | im using 6.06 just cause i want ot wait till end of life for the LTS | 02:52 |
| scooter_ | acutally i found the disk | 02:52 |
| scooter_ | its kubuntu 6.06 | 02:53 |
| scooter_ | 6.06.1 | 02:53 |
| Dragnslcr | It would probably be faster to download a 7.10 CD and do a clean install | 02:53 |
| scooter_ | ok, can you talk me through that? | 02:53 |
| Dragnslcr | !download | 02:54 |
| ubotu | Kubuntu can be downloaded in various formats from here: http://kubuntu.org/download.php | 02:54 |
| Greythane | use adept > fetch updates > then should be able to > Full Upgrade, as well | 02:54 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | what is the next version up with the longest projected life cycle | 02:54 |
| Dragnslcr | Greythane- I don't think that works in 6.06 | 02:54 |
| NickPresta | BluDog_Anchorite, hardy+1, I believe | 02:54 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | is there going to be another LTS distro ? | 02:54 |
| Dragnslcr | BluDog_Anchorite- 8.04 will be an LTS release | 02:54 |
| Greythane | oh, ok.. have not used for yonks :) | 02:55 |
| Greythane | scooter.. beware - a full reinstall will wipe you home directory so backup | 02:55 |
| NickPresta | BluDog_Anchorite, ah. Listen to Dragnslcr. Hardy is going to be an LTS | 02:55 |
| scooter_ | im not seeing >full upgrade | 02:55 |
| lockd | Dragnslcr: hmm, when will that be out? | 02:56 |
| NickPresta | !hardy | lockd | 02:56 |
| ubotu | lockd: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu | 02:56 |
| NickPresta | lockd, the 8 corresponds to the year, 04 to the month. | 02:56 |
| Dragnslcr | lockd- Wild guess, but 8.04 should be released in April 2008 | 02:56 |
| lockd | oh, right | 02:56 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | im trying to get away from the bleeding edge distro, just based on the fact all my hardware is old, and i dont have time to rebuild sysems every 6 months | 02:57 |
| scooter_ | so how do i get the update from adept? | 02:57 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | scooter. go online, google kubuntu 7.10. download it. burn it with k3b | 02:58 |
| scooter_ | ok thanks | 02:58 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | always best to have a hard copy on hand | 02:58 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | net installs are convenient, but extra discs come in handy | 02:59 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | imho | 02:59 |
| lockd | yes, especially when you lose connectino | 02:59 |
| lockd | *ion | 02:59 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | yep | 02:59 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | or a mirror is down, and you need a package | 02:59 |
| lockd | are packages in ISOs updated? | 03:00 |
| lockd | it's annoying when I get lots from CD to save bandwidth, then I need updates immediately | 03:01 |
| BluDog_Anchorite | lockd. iso is not updated | 03:02 |
| BluesKaj | it's amazing in this day and age that ppl still have download caps | 03:08 |
| Tarin | how well does upgrading to a new version work when done from inside kubuntu | 03:09 |
| Greythane | I have had no real problems (yet) | 03:10 |
| Tarin | cool does compiz work better in gutsy than feisty? | 03:10 |
| BluesKaj | my last network upgrade failed 3 times , unfortunately , but the fault was mine for not waiting for a few days for the internet traffic to my sources to let up | 03:11 |
| Greythane | currently using compiz-fusion. took a bit of fiddling but works great on my compaq notebook | 03:12 |
| Tarin | cool cause in feisty i cant seem to apply the themes from emerald | 03:13 |
| Tarin | unless i am a total noob and not doing it right lol | 03:13 |
| Greythane | no idea.. just make sure xgl & compiz are running then select emerald them for settings. | 03:15 |
| Tarin | how can i tell if they are running | 03:15 |
| scooter_ | ok thanks for your help everyone | 03:17 |
| Greythane | in konsole > ps ax | grep xgl | 03:17 |
| Greythane | hope you sort it out scooter. You'll like once you get things running | 03:18 |
| Tarin | it didnt do anything just went to another line | 03:18 |
| Tarin | do i need to do the same for compiz?/ | 03:19 |
| Greythane | if compiz is not running in xgl your desktop redraw will be slow (is in my install) | 03:19 |
| Greythane | if you did not see any details then you are not running xgl.. then emerald will not run etc | 03:19 |
| Tarin | ok well i did it a second time and got 7746 pts/6 R+ : grep xgl | 03:20 |
| Greythane | ok.. that's the grep process looking for the xgl info.. | 03:21 |
| Tarin | should i be using a certain engine? | 03:22 |
| Greythane | should see something like > 5161 ? S 0:00 /bin/sh /usr/share/xserver-xgl/Xgl-lockfile-wrapper | 03:22 |
| Tarin | can i get xgl from adept | 03:23 |
| VulcanRidr | Couple of Kubuntu questions. | 03:23 |
| Greythane | yes.. replaces xserver as the windows server (open gl server) | 03:24 |
| NickPresta | VulcanRidr, how can we help you? | 03:24 |
| VulcanRidr | First, I upgraded from Feisty to Gutsy, and I can't install any kdm themes. I also installed kbfx, but I can't install any themes. | 03:24 |
| NickPresta | VulcanRidr, where are you installing the themes from? Could you install themes in Feisty? | 03:25 |
| VulcanRidr | Yes I could, and the ones I had installed work, but I can't install new ones. I am downloading to my desktop and installing from the system settings menu. (appearance). | 03:26 |
| Tarin | can i stop the upgrade without breaking my feisty?/ | 03:26 |
| * genii sips | 03:26 | |
| NickPresta | VulcanRidr, are you downloading the themes from kde-look.org or something? Can I download the theme and test it on my system? | 03:27 |
| Greythane | VulcanRidr - I had to install the kdetheme manager - not included in the gutsy defaults (that I could find) | 03:27 |
| VulcanRidr | Yes I am. The kdm theme I downloaded this evening was 69034-kdmflower.tar.gz, and I untarred that and tried to install 3dkdmflower.tar.gz | 03:28 |
| Greythane | you will have to extract the gz and end up with a directory & ca .kth file which is the theme configuration | 03:30 |
| NickPresta | VulcanRidr, are you talking about: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/3dKdmflower?content=69034 ? | 03:30 |
| VulcanRidr | Greythane: I have kdmtheme installed. A holdover from Feisty. | 03:30 |
| VulcanRidr | Yes, that is the theme, NickPresta. | 03:31 |
| NickPresta | VulcanRidr, what error do you get? | 03:33 |
| VulcanRidr | No error, just the theme does not show up in the list after I click "install theme" and select the theme. | 03:35 |
| NickPresta | Do you get a message box about override file warning? | 03:36 |
| VulcanRidr | I did...I just noticed that because it popped under the main window. Whats do I need to change? | 03:37 |
| NickPresta | Well, apparently, the kdm theme manager isn't updating a file in /etc/default/kdm.d/ which controls the kdm settings, meaning that any change you make in the kdm theme manager section won't work. This (appears) to be a bug | 03:38 |
| VulcanRidr | And does that apply to kbfx? (I installed kbfx-Silk) | 03:39 |
| VulcanRidr | And it works on my Debian box. | 03:39 |
| NickPresta | I don't know about your kbfx issue. That is probably something totally unrelated to the kdm theme issue. | 03:39 |
| VulcanRidr | Okay. Thats what I was checking, because it behaves the same way. | 03:40 |
| VulcanRidr | Guys, thanks for the help. | 03:45 |

| Rukus | does anyone know how to enable your TV out, with an ATI xpress 200m card, without making my laptop screen 640x480. its rather frustrating, i have restored my xorg.conf several times already! | 04:35 |
| lockd | vbgunz_: does the screen turn off before the screensaver has time to kick in? | 04:36 |
| ubuntu | k | 04:36 |
| Tarin | where do i get xgl? | 04:38 |
| Tarin | its not listed in my adept? | 04:39 |
| hydrogen | why do you want xgl? | 04:39 |
| vbgunz_ | lockd: nothing. I just installed some xscreensaver stuff, see if that works | 04:39 |
| vbgunz_ | nope, nothing comes on in a minute | 04:42 |
| vbgunz_ | heh, going to try something else | 04:42 |
| vbgunz_ | lockd: something I did fixed it. found 2 possible solutions at this thread http://kubuntuforums.net/forums/index.php?topic=3087392.0 | 04:48 |
| vbgunz_ | removing the xscreensaver packages, hopefully the tweak in kdesktoprc fixed it. testing it now | 04:50 |
| lockd | screensaver has really one purpose, autolocking the session | 04:51 |
| vbgunz_ | lockd: yeah, the tweak to the file did the trick | 04:51 |

| vbgunz_ | anyone know how I can run a sudo command during startup *without* having to enter any passwords? I just wa | 05:03 |
| awag | hello everyone | 05:03 |
| Dr_willis | vbgunz_, which startup? the rc.local can run commands at boot up. they get ran as root. | 05:03 |
| vbgunz_ | sorry, I just need to run something but I need to run it with sudo permission. I just don't want to have to enter my password every boot up :( | 05:03 |
| posingaspopular | vbgunz_: it's possible | 05:04 |
| posingaspopular | let me google up the answer | 05:04 |
| awag | anyone know why open office suddenly stopped getting decorated by my kde-window-decorator ? | 05:04 |
| sub[t]rnl | sudo visodu | 05:04 |
| vbgunz_ | well, X has to be loaded... I guess it is during the loading X process | 05:04 |
| sub[t]rnl | can set no password in there | 05:04 |
| Dr_willis | vbgunz_, what are you trying to load exactly? | 05:04 |
| sub[t]rnl | though, i'm sure no one here would recommend it | 05:04 |
| sub[t]rnl | sudo visudo rather | 05:05 |
| vbgunz_ | I have a problem. storage mediums attached to the system do not show up on the desktop *unless* I mount something. so, if I mount the cdrom then unmount it, they all show up just fine... it's just a workaround | 05:05 |
| Dr_willis | You can set up sudo. where a user can run commands and not need to enter the root password. Or if you want to be more secure. Youc an set where a user can run SPECIFIC commands with sudo with no password. , or if you want to be INSECURE. you chould set the 'suid' bit on the program and it will get ran as root without need for sudo. (which is a bad idea) | 05:06 |
| vbgunz_ | well, I guess it would be nice if I could run mount and umount without ever having to enter a password | 05:06 |
| awag | i'm using kde-window-decorator with compiz and the other day open office randomly stopped having window borders attached to it, xchat was doing it for a few days too, then it randomly fixed itself | 05:07 |
| Dr_willis | vbgunz_, you can set devices in fstab with the user option where the users can mount/unmount them. | 05:07 |
| vbgunz_ | editing the sudoers file or something like that makes it work? | 05:07 |
| lockd | isn't that what pmount is for? | 05:07 |
| awag | anyone know what i can do to fix the problem with openoffice? | 05:07 |
| Dr_willis | vbgunz_, then theres the pmount command also. | 05:07 |
| lockd | awag: is it only openoffice that doesn't get window border? strange | 05:07 |
| Dr_willis | Of course i always disable all that clutter on the desktop. :) | 05:08 |
| vbgunz_ | Dr_willis: I am not messing with fstab. no matter what I do I can never get it working the way I need it too. honest. I've been through the man, google and everything else. I remember messing with fstab for hours without results. I rather avoid it | 05:08 |
| awag | lockd, right, just a few days ago i came back to my computer and open office and xchat didn't have borders, now xchat is fixed, it fixed itself, but office is not | 05:08 |
| vbgunz_ | I don't have pmount, I'll look for it | 05:09 |
| awag | lockd, even if i run kde-window-decorator --replace -a while open office is running, it has no effect | 05:09 |
| Dr_willis | !info pmount | 05:09 |
| ubotu | pmount: mount removable devices as normal user. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.16-4 (gutsy), package size 84 kB, installed size 656 kB | 05:09 |
| vbgunz_ | am downloadfing and installing now | 05:09 |
| vbgunz_ | ok checked the help, seems simple, will try | 05:10 |
| Dr_willis | of course manually mounting things may be goofing up the automounting fetures of kde. | 05:10 |
| Dr_willis | do the icons apear in media:/ like they are supposed to? | 05:11 |
| [GhOsT] | hello | 05:12 |
| [GhOsT] | is there anyone > | 05:13 |
| [GhOsT] | ? | 05:13 |
| vbgunz_ | lockd: thank you very much for the pmount suggestion. works perfectly! | 05:13 |
| lockd | Nobody seems to have gotten automount right. Even GRUB chokes on my USB external disk | 05:13 |
| _gtt_ | how do i configure the minimize/maximize sound events? | 05:13 |
| lockd | and that's not even automount - it just refuses to load | 05:13 |
| lockd | if lilo had ability to edit bootup commands, I would use that (which does boot regardless of attached media) | 05:14 |
| vbgunz_ | my only issue is getting attached media to show up on the desktop | 05:15 |
| Dr_willis | Ive seen windows have issues with some usb disks plugged in as well. | 05:15 |
| sub[t]rnl | _gtt_: kmenu -> System settings -> System Notifications -> Then change "Event Source" to Kde Window Manager | 05:16 |
| vbgunz_ | I have to this for all accounts. is there a universal Autostart folder that'll affect all users? | 05:16 |
| Dr_willis | of course i have some machines that grub does not like their usb keyboards. :P | 05:16 |
| Dr_willis | vbgunz_, not that i am aware of. | 05:16 |
| vbgunz_ | Dr_willis: I'll ask in #kde, those guys are real helpful | 05:16 |
| Dr_willis | vbgunz_, if you are going to be making new users you may want to alter the /etc/skel/ dir to have the changes in it. | 05:16 |
| [GhOsT] | I have got a simple question guys | 05:17 |
| Dr_willis | [GhOsT], ok... | 05:17 |
| vbgunz_ | Dr_willis: I admit I have plenty to learn in regards to linux.. I just spend too much time learning programming, etc and not my own OS :( | 05:18 |
| [GhOsT] | I have download 64 bit Gutsy DVD , unfortunately I am not able to run installation with graphics mode | 05:18 |
| Dr_willis | Dosent the DVD also have the 'text mode' installer? I thouht it did. | 05:18 |
| [GhOsT] | text mode installation worked fine but then it is same as installation with graphics mode , black blank screen | 05:19 |
| Dr_willis | [GhOsT], and whats your video card? | 05:19 |
| [GhOsT] | Geforce 8600M GS | 05:19 |
| Dr_willis | Thats weird. that card should work fine. | 05:20 |
| Dr_willis | You will need to install the proper nvidia drivers to get itworking at full speed. | 05:20 |
| [GhOsT] | did i download wrong edition ? | 05:20 |
| [GhOsT] | I have got Core2 Duo cpu | 05:20 |
| dxdt | I tried to install the KDE 4 on Ubuntu 7.10, but it is really messed up. I know that it is just a RC, so it will have bugs, but is it supposed to be totally messed up and ususable, or just buggy? Anyone here using it? Is there something else I need to do besides what Kubuntu's site instructed? | 05:20 |
| Dr_willis | well theres proberly no need for you to be using the 64bit version.. and the dvd was proberly overkill as well. | 05:21 |
| [GhOsT] | tried to install 64 bit one , that says amd64 ? | 05:21 |
| lockd | dxdt: I was unable to install it, something to do with package conflicts | 05:21 |
| Dr_willis | You may want to download the normal 32bit live cd. and see how well it works. Of course if it also has the issue. You may have to isntall with the 32bit alternative install cd. | 05:21 |
| Dr_willis | OR you could just try to get this install going | 05:21 |
| [GhOsT] | I need 64 bit one because I have Core2 Duo 2.2 GHz with 4 GB of RAM | 05:21 |
| Dr_willis | [GhOsT], i think 64bit is needed if you have MORE then 4gb of ram. | 05:22 |
| Dr_willis | that cpu can handle 32bit just fine. | 05:22 |
| [GhOsT] | under microsoft vista 32 bit , it recognizes only 3 gb | 05:22 |
| Dr_willis | I may be wrong on that ram part.. but im pretty sure its over 4gb for linux.. | 05:22 |
| [GhOsT] | when u turn to 64 bit vista , there u get 4 gb support | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | Well there may be a catch also with the video ram being part of that 4gb. | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | if you insist on 64bit then i guess ya manually intall the nvida drivers and reconfigure X. | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | You proberly should install the nvidia-glx - NVIDIA binary XFree86 4.x/X.Org drive package | 05:23 |
| Dr_willis | 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx ' | 05:24 |
| Dr_willis | then i think ya need to 'sudo nvidia-xconfig' to get the xorg.conf set up right. | 05:24 |
| [GhOsT] | it sounds like an issue with VEGA driver compability | 05:25 |
| lockd | Is there any possibility of a graphics card with a real open source driver? | 05:25 |
| posingaspopular | how do i fix this error in amarok: audio output unavailable: xine parameters unavaialbe | 05:25 |
| lockd | nvidia works - most of the time | 05:26 |
| [GhOsT] | it is supposed to | 05:26 |
| Dr_willis | lockd, matrox was big on that at one time.. but you dont hear much about them any more. | 05:26 |
| [GhOsT] | i have a kubuntu 6.10 32 bit CD here too | 05:26 |
| [GhOsT] | let me try this one also | 05:26 |
| [GhOsT] | I will be right back | 05:26 |
| lockd | Dr_willis: I mean reassembly is all fine and good | 05:26 |
| Dr_willis | ive used several nvidia cards under the different releases and have had no issues. | 05:27 |
| Dr_willis | But all it takes is for YOU to have an issue..and it can be a real bother. :P | 05:27 |
| [GhOsT] | Thank you in advance , I wanna try 32 bit one now | 05:27 |
| [GhOsT] | will be right back | 05:27 |
| Dr_willis | right back? boy ya got a fast connection to download it that fast. :P | 05:27 |
| Dr_willis | oh ya allready got the cd.. heh heh.. | 05:28 |
| lockd | I thought 3gb was some sort of limit for 32 bit, not sure if it is universal | 05:28 |
| [GhOsT] | nope i have it already | 05:28 |
| [GhOsT] | :-D | 05:28 |
| [GhOsT] | brb | 05:28 |
| lockd | there's also the "2012" limit for 32 bit dates, but that is a different story | 05:28 |
| lockd | (that one I understand) | 05:28 |
| Dr_willis | lockd, my gateway machine only came with 3gb. :) | 05:28 |
| Dr_willis | but i was still thinking id heard it was only an issue for over 4gb. (at least under linux) it may be 3gb for windows | 05:29 |
| Dr_willis | http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/11/26/32bit-vs-64bit-ubuntu-that-is-the-question/ | 05:29 |
| Dr_willis | that site has some comments abouyt 64bits i never thought of either.. | 05:33 |
| Dr_willis | not sure how accurate the claims are however. :) reduced battery life, 64bit apps needing more ram. (not sure why that would be) and again the mention of 4gb ram (not 3) | 05:33 |
| Dr_willis | Well after doing more research on the 4gb ram limit... i found out that.......... its very confusing.. :) | 05:38 |

| === koyoteeeeee is now known as koyote | ||
| hydrogen | 4gb of ram is an x86 limit | 05:57 |
| hydrogen | as for 64bit apps needing more ram.. one possible reason I can think of is that some of the base data sizes are different on a 64bit system from a 32bit, so more memory gets allocated for the same types (I think?) | 05:58 |

| Crell | Hi all. I'm having what I think is a repository issue. I'm trying to install something through PECL (PHP's binary repository), but the pecl binary doesn't seem to be available. When I aptitude search for pecl, I don't even see a package for it. Any idea why that might be? (Kubuntu Gutsy) | 06:43 |
| sub[t]rnl | if you've added a repository you'll need to update apt* | 06:47 |
| sub[t]rnl | sudo apt-get update | 06:47 |
| Crell | I haven't added a repository; it should be available along with PHP. I've also updated apt many a time. | 06:48 |
| sub[t]rnl | what are you trying to install? | 06:48 |
| sub[t]rnl | php-pear? | 06:48 |
| sub[t]rnl | could be your just looking for the wrong package | 06:48 |
| Crell | hm. | 06:49 |
| Crell | OK, that's weird. I just dpkg -L php-pear, and apparently the pecl binary is there. | 06:49 |

| pjeide | Does anyone know about using AWN under KDE? I've followed the guides to install all of the various parts, but awn-manager throws Gnome errors under Kubuntu Gutsy http://rafb.net/p/bVlMtL57.html | 06:49 |
| sub[t]rnl | awn is a launch bar? | 06:53 |
| Crell | Fascinating. apt-cache finds things aptitude search does not. | 06:53 |
| pjeide | yes | 06:53 |
| pjeide | I can launch avant-window-manager, but it launches in the middle of screen 1 of 2, and an attempt to select preferences from the menu shows "ImportError: could not import gnomevfs" in the console that I launched it from.. how do I switch AWN to look for KDE? | 06:53 |
| sub[t]rnl | i don't have any experience with it personally | 06:54 |
| sub[t]rnl | :/ | 06:54 |
| sub[t]rnl | are you running compiz-fusion? | 06:54 |
| sub[t]rnl | i know you need a compositing window manager | 06:54 |
| pjeide | I am running compiz-fusion, yes | 06:55 |
| pjeide | with no issues regarding compiz | 06:56 |
| pjeide | strangely enough the dock bar is functional, just misplaced and inconfigurable through gui or command line | 06:56 |
| pjeide | there is a configuration line that gets flagged, file not found on line "import gnomedesktop" | 06:57 |
| pjeide | what might the corresponding kde reference be? | 06:57 |
| pjeide | kdm? | 06:58 |
| pjeide | gtk-window-manager? | 06:58 |
| pjeide | emerald for compiz? | 06:58 |
| sub[t]rnl | no idea | 06:59 |
| sub[t]rnl | i run pure kde, so I don't have the directory that error is pointing too | 07:01 |
| sub[t]rnl | -> /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0/gtk/__init__.py | 07:03 |
| sub[t]rnl | if that helps anything | 07:03 |
| sub[t]rnl | i would guess that awn was written from gnome :/ | 07:04 |

| ciacon | Agent_bob: I have the feeling, that my sound is not quite what it should be... I have one of theese superb -.- Intel HD audio-thingies | 07:30 |
| Agent_bob | power on and hold down the f1 or right shift or something depending on the hardware | 07:31 |
| serrucho | I tried the safe mode but is lock too | 07:32 |
| Jay-Oh-En | serrucho: your doing it all wrong | 07:32 |
| Agent_bob | ciacon ok. but if sound works in other apps you should be able to pipe it through the same device that they use, it's a simple matter of configuring the app. | 07:32 |
| ciacon | Agent_bob: is there an alternative?? I love to listen to music while I play tremulous - only problem - mp3blaster is the only reasonable mp3 player I know for the command-line... | 07:32 |
| declan | Ola, anyone know how to turn off wine in kubuntu gutsy? | 07:33 |
| Jay-Oh-En | declan: do you wanna uninstall it | 07:33 |
| Agent_bob | serrucho you'll have to get into the BIOS not the boot manager. | 07:33 |
| serrucho | and then ? | 07:33 |
| Jay-Oh-En | serrucho: set it to boot from cd | 07:33 |
| declan | Jay-Oh-En: No. I just want to switch if off when I'm not using it. To avoid any possible win viruses. | 07:34 |
| serrucho | I did that already | 07:34 |
| Agent_bob | ciacon cli sure sox but vlc can handle that too. ummm an mplayer i think | 07:34 |
| Jay-Oh-En | declan: i dont think you have to worry about any of that | 07:35 |
| Agent_bob | declan can you define "turn off wine" please ? | 07:35 |
| serrucho | I went to sequence of the boot and put the cd-rom on number 1 | 07:35 |
| serrucho | to boot from the cd-rom | 07:35 |
| serrucho | but still same thing | 07:36 |
| ciacon | Agent_bob: i'd hoped there is an similarly simple player out there... checkin through the man-pages for mp3blaste | 07:36 |
| declan | Jay-Oh-En: Well, I was just reading this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=72598 | 07:36 |
| declan | Jay-Oh-En: Got me thinking. | 07:36 |
| Jay-Oh-En | could anybody help me out why does this do this http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s272/pronege/snapshot6.png | 07:36 |
| declan | Agent_bob: Well, I was thinking maybe it ran as a service so that I could just stop the service and not have wine running. | 07:37 |
| Agent_bob | wine is wine is not an emulator, wine is an application layer that is used to support windows based application in linux. wine is normally called something like this "wine /media/win_c:/my\ program.exe " when "my program.exe" exits so does wine. | 07:38 |
| serrucho | agent bob you are a pro on this | 07:39 |
| serrucho | you know a lot | 07:39 |
| declan | Agent_bob: Ok, thanks. Maybe I'll just uninstall it then. | 07:39 |
| _dac_ | when you email - forward,what is "inline text" and "an attachment" ? Yea, I'm not too smart... | 07:39 |
| Agent_bob | think of it in the same way as the shell us used for a script. sh my_script.sh sh runs to provide a shell for "my_script.sh" to run in. when my_script.sh exits so does sh | 07:39 |
| Agent_bob | perl script might be an even better example perl my_script.perl idk. | 07:41 |
| Agent_bob | any way you see the point i'm sure. wine is not "always running" it's just there if you need it. | 07:42 |
| Agent_bob | !virus | 07:42 |
| ubotu | A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 07:42 |
| Agent_bob | see the link ^ | 07:42 |
| Agent_bob | serrucho thanks. i think. ;/ | 07:43 |
| declan | There we go. Wine no more. I'm feeling safer already. | 07:45 |
| Agent_bob | ok but do read the link ^ | 07:45 |

| * Agent_bob feels that sudo is more of a virus/mal_ware portal than wine... (personal openion) | 07:47 | |
| ciacon | Agent_bob: I managed to find out that I have the choice between "oss, esd, nas and sdl | 07:48 |
| Jay-Oh-En | Agent_bob: can you help me with this http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s272/pronege/snapshot6.png look to the right with the blue and white selections it gets on my nerves do you think theres a way to turn that off for every program? | 07:48 |
| ciacon | Agent_bob: I suppose that I can best start off with oss, right? | 07:48 |
| declan | Agent_bob: Just read the link. Cheers. Some interesting points raised. I just uninstalled sudo out of paranoia too :) | 07:48 |
| Jay-Oh-En | declan: why? | 07:49 |
| Agent_bob | ciacon well if you must... but alsa is what you want... | 07:49 |
| ciacon | Agent_bob: thoose 4 are the ones mentioned in the man-pages... I would not know what else I could try | 07:50 |
| Agent_bob | lol. declan i hope you set a good root password first. | 07:50 |
| declan | Agent_bob: uh oh... | 07:50 |
| declan | :) | 07:50 |
| Agent_bob | ciacon might look at apt-cache search <packagename> to see if it has modules for other output devices | 07:51 |
| serrucho | agent bob are you a teacher? | 07:51 |
| ciacon | Agent_bob: mp3blaster is the only with that or equiv. name in repository | 07:51 |
| Agent_bob | serrucho i've been called that. but actually i'm a highschool drop out. | 07:52 |
| === Shely is now known as MJ086 | ||
| declan | Jay-Oh-En: Only joking. I wouldn't even know if you can uninstall sudo. I did get rid of wine though. Just because I don't really use it anyway. | 07:52 |
| Agent_bob | declan you can. | 07:52 |
| serrucho | then how old are you? | 07:52 |
| Agent_bob | serrucho fourty something ? | 07:52 |
| Agent_bob | why ? | 07:53 |
| serrucho | wao | 07:53 |
| declan | Agent_bob: Well, you learn something new every day. | 07:53 |
| serrucho | just curios | 07:53 |
| serrucho | you are right | 07:53 |
| Agent_bob | declan maybe so. i have learned one thing, you forget twice as much as you learn. | 07:53 |
| serrucho | I would like to know a lot about computers | 07:53 |
| Agent_bob | settle for knowing a little about everything. rather than knowing every thing about a little. | 07:54 |
| ciacon | Agent_bob: I did it... solution: configfile in home-dir (~/.mp3blasterrc) with 2 lines: "AudioDriver = oss" "SoundDevice = /dev/dsp"... that did the trick | 07:54 |
| serrucho | I always use windows but I tried linux ubuntu and I thing I like it more than windows now | 07:54 |
| Agent_bob | ciacon good on ya mate. | 07:54 |
| Agent_bob | serrucho i only knew M$ until about the turn of the century. i haven't used it sense. | 07:55 |

| Jakobsen | Is there a Evolution-like application for KDE, that supports MS Exchange sync? | 07:55 |
| declan | Kmail rocks! Not sure about the syncing. | 07:56 |
| Jay-Oh-En | how do i veiw my xorg | 07:56 |
| Jay-Oh-En | so i can pastebin it | 07:56 |
| Jakobsen | declan, I didn't ask if the mail app rocks, I asked for Exchange sync ;) | 07:56 |
| Agent_bob | Jakobsen i don't think so. but you can use evo if you want... it works in kde as well as in gnome | 07:56 |
| declan | Jakobsen: Sorry couldn't help myself :) | 07:57 |
| Jakobsen | Agent_bob, I just want to use Qt apps in KDE and GTK in Gnome.. imho the mix will become a mess.. | 07:57 |
| Agent_bob | jucato would know if he was here.. | 07:57 |
| Agent_bob | Jakobsen a mess ? </shrugs> | 07:57 |
| Agent_bob | you want no mess remove xorg the console is not messy | 07:58 |
| Agent_bob | clean and sain imo | 07:58 |
| serrucho | agent bob what do you thing about compiz? | 07:58 |
| Agent_bob | eyecandy is not appealing to a cli user. | 07:59 |
| Jakobsen | Agent_bob, that's exactly what I mean.. I'm a console guy.. Now that I need a GUI on my linuxbox, I don't want to mix Gnome and KDE.. I tried it before, and the Gnome apps looked weird in KDE.. | 07:59 |
| Agent_bob | i think it wastes horse power and sells new hardware. | 07:59 |
| serrucho | ok | 08:00 |
| Agent_bob | Jakobsen k. you know what you want/like and i'll leave it at that. | 08:00 |
| serrucho | I want to used but couldn`t | 08:01 |
| Jakobsen | Agent_bob, I like Gnome, but I want KDE :D I guess it'll change the other way around, when I switch to KDE............ | 08:01 |
| declan | Jakobsen: Not sure if this helps but I came across this recently when I was looking at something similar - never tried it out though http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-user&m=98600724802550&w=2 | 08:02 |
| Agent_bob | serrucho i'm presently talking to you on a 1ghz p3 box but normally run a p1 100mhz box and wonder why people complain about their computer being slow when they have 2g processer and 2g ram... ya know. | 08:02 |
| Agent_bob | Jakobsen here's the man to ask about that. Jucato ! | 08:03 |
| Jucato | please, not about networking... | 08:04 |
| Agent_bob | no | 08:04 |
| Agent_bob | kde alternative to evolution | 08:04 |
| Agent_bob | or should i say qt alternative | 08:04 |
| Jucato | kontact (kmail, korganizer, kaddressbook, knotes, etc) | 08:04 |
| Jakobsen | I just want to know, if it would lead to any problems if I run GTK apps in KDE.. | 08:05 |
| Jucato | there shouldn't be any problems | 08:05 |
| Agent_bob | that wasn't the question. :| | 08:05 |
| Jakobsen | Agent_bob, be quiet - and let the question evolve :P | 08:06 |
| Agent_bob | <Jakobsen> Is there a Evolution-like application for KDE, that supports MS Exchange sync? <<<< that was the question. | 08:06 |
| Jucato | er... dunno about Exchange support | 08:07 |
| Agent_bob | i said NO. if i was wrong Jucato can streighten me out... | 08:07 |
| Jucato | unlike GNOME, KDE's PIM apps aren't just part of one single big app. they're separate apps, just hundled together under a convenience wrapper (Kontact) | 08:08 |
| Agent_bob | see it wasn't netowrking :) | 08:08 |
| Jucato | semi-related.. Exchange.. | 08:08 |
| Jucato | anyway gotta go for a while... | 08:08 |

| m00foo | is this actually a (known?) bug in kde 3.5.8 or only a gutsy problem? i can't change the settings for a (kicker) panel but the "main panel". neither right click "configure panel" let me choose another one nor "systemsettings". The only way to change it is to run kcontrol. [first one could be a kde bug, second one is definitely a gutsy bug ;-)] | 10:05 |
| === m00foo is now known as moofoo | ||
| Lynoure | moofoo: tried searching on Launchpad? | 10:06 |
| Jucato | moofoo: bug in KDE since 3.5.6 I think. | 10:06 |
| Jucato | (I'm sure it's a KDE bug, just not sure how far it goes back) | 10:06 |
| moofoo | Jucato: hm oh since 3.5.6 alrady? :O .. well the missing option in systemsettings is a gutsy thing i suppose ;) | 10:07 |
| Jucato | nope | 10:07 |
| moofoo | why not? i can change it with kcontrol.. | 10:07 |
| Jucato | panel options in system settings have been gone since edgy or dapper | 10:08 |
| Jucato | it's not a bug either. an intended behavior of system settings | 10:08 |
| Jucato | anyway, the easier way to solve that (other than launching kcontrol) is to run this command: dcop kicker kicker restart | 10:09 |
| Jucato | as the name suggests, it restarts kicker, refreshing it's brain and telling it that it has a new arm or leg | 10:09 |
| moofoo | Jucato: hm yeah thanks that seems to work... | 10:12 |

| corinth | I have a desktop launcher that I can't get to open in dolphin by default. Suggestions? Kubuntu Gutsy | 11:10 |
| Tm_T | corinth: desktop launcher containing what? | 11:11 |
| ere4si | launcher probs are mostly syntax - done the obvious and run the command in konsole and selected run in konsole? | 11:12 |
| corinth | Tm_T: Eh, sorry. It's a link to my external hard drive | 11:12 |
| Tm_T | corinth: be more precise | 11:12 |
| ere4si | mounted? | 11:13 |
| corinth | Tm_T: Hmm. Not sure I can be, really. It's a shortcut to my external hard drive. Sorry, Im getting the hang of Linux, but I'd still call myself a noob. | 11:13 |
| === kde4daily is now known as quique | ||

| corinth | Tm_T: Sorry, you'll have to be a bit more specific ;-) | 11:15 |
| Tm_T | hahaha | 11:15 |
| ere4si | the command you gave the launcher? | 11:15 |
| corinth | I dragged it from the mounted media folder in dolphin, and chose the "create a shortcut" option | 11:16 |
| Tm_T | ahah | 11:16 |
| corinth | Alright, I'll spit out information that I find in it. | 11:18 |
| corinth | The URL tab says system:/media/sdb1 | 11:18 |
| corinth | general says desktop config file, location /home/mitch/Desktop | 11:18 |

| corinth | Alright, I installed Ubuntu Gutsy, but I'm addicted to KDE, so I installed Kubuntu Gutsy via apt-get install kubuntu_desktop | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | corinth: ok | 11:26 |
| corinth | In ubuntu, my volume + and - media keys work fine, but not in kubuntu | 11:26 |
| ActionParsnip | corinth: are those on your keyboard | 11:27 |
| corinth | ActionParsnip: Yep | 11:27 |
| corinth | ActionParsnip: volume up or down only toggles between 0 and 11 % in the OSD, without actually changing my volume. | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | corinth: ok what has happened is you configured the key capture in gnome | 11:28 |
| ActionParsnip | corinth: you have to config it in kde now | 11:28 |
| === Raumkruat is now known as Raumkraut | ||
| corinth | ActionParsnip: The keys worked in gnome without haing to configuer it manually. If I try to set them as volume + and - in Kmix, the problem is still the same. | 11:29 |
| corinth | ActionParsnip: However, if I set other keysets to volume + and -, it works fine, but without the OSD. | 11:29 |
| corinth | :-/ | 11:29 |
| ActionParsnip | corinth: if you press them,what happens? | 11:29 |
| corinth | ActionParsnip: The actual volume + and - keys, or the alternates I binded? | 11:30 |
| ActionParsnip | corinth: the actual keys | 11:30 |
| corinth | ActionParsnip: The OSD will go to either 0% or 11%, but the volume won't actually change. | 11:31 |
| corinth | And it won't display anything besides 0 or 11 | 11:31 |
| ActionParsnip | corinth: try running xev in a shell to get keymappings | 11:32 |
| ActionParsnip | corinth: this may help https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/35824 | 11:33 |

| ActionParsnip | corinth: and this looks helpful http://www.mepis.org/node/6195 | 11:33 |

| ActionParsnip | ciacon: amarok is prettysweet :) | 13:12 |
| ciacon | ActionParsnip: mp3blaster mentions in it's manpages, that ~/.mp3blasterrc is the file containing the config... I can choose between "sdl", "oss", "nas" and "esd"... I thought "alsa-oss" is the closest shot I have, though setting it to OSS doesn't move me one inch further | 13:14 |

| apparle | donsdw: when you click on admin mode do you get a window asking for root password | 13:59 |

| donsdw | corinth: It doesn't for me. | 14:02 |

| matttis2 | ciacon: I already have it here in the taskbar (or how it is called) at the place where konqueror was. Does that mean I should arrange myself with dolphin because it will get better ? | 14:23 |
| emilsedgh | donsdw: but when you enter password everything should be enabled | 14:23 |

| apparle | ciacon: No . It takes control of the card only for system sounds like logon etc. I played three mp3 files on my pc(amarok,kaffiene,mplayer) simultaneously just for fun. And that also in case of an old box | 14:54 |
| apparle | genii: i want a mixer which can be controlled by the volume keys of a multimedia keyboard | 14:55 |
| ciacon | I have the feeling, that the sound in KDE is managed by arts - which mixes all the sounds played in KDE and then feeds it to alsa which then again links to the card... | 14:55 |
| genii | apparle: Then you don't neccesarily want a different mixer but rather to configure the keyboard | 14:56 |
| genii | Because for instance kmix on my laptop uses the builtin volume keys,mute etc perfectly | 14:56 |
| matttis2 | apparle: alsamixer in console | 14:56 |
| apparle | ciacon: I don't know that much. I am using linux for only a month. I use OSS | 14:56 |
| apparle | genii: kmix has configured my KBD but It itself does not start | 14:57 |
| ciacon | apparle: I have been up and about with linux for nearly 5 years - just have no time to really learn the stuff ;-) | 14:57 |

| genii | apparle: I've had where it does not autostart. Start it manually then by alt-f2 type in kmix then leave it open in tray when shutdown, should load next time | 14:59 |
| ciacon | funcrush: I get what you mean - right click on the gedit on the taskbar --> To Desktop --> Desktop 1 (you should have "All Desktops" selected) | 14:59 |
| genii | Or does it refuse to start, etc? | 14:59 |

| funcrush | ciacon : thank you very much!!!!!! | 15:00 |
| apparle | ciacon: how to do that | 15:00 |
| apparle | genii:any suggestions | 15:02 |
| ciacon | apparle: I right click on the task-bar --> add applet to pannel --> Public File Server | 15:02 |

| apparle | ciacon: anything which can be done on any platform(Windows, MAC, linux) | 15:03 |
| ciacon | apparle: under win and mac I'm lost, but that's the "cheap and nasty" "all-singing-all-dancing" linux solution | 15:04 |
| blizzzek | bye | 15:04 |

| apparle | ciacon: any fileserver website which does the same | 15:05 |
| apparle | genii: are ou there | 15:05 |
| ciacon | apparle: none, that I know of - I just add a folder (eg ~/pub_files/8001/) and go - under windows I'd say apache2 or PAMP should do | 15:06 |
| genii | apparle: Yes, just returned to my computer... it would seem there is then some underlying issue nothing to do with kmix but rather either some sound libs or your driver for the soundcard or so on. no immediate idea springs to mind as a fast fix | 15:07 |
| apparle | ciacon: well forget it. Do you know what to use for software GUI development ( new to linux and programming) | 15:08 |
| ciacon | apparle: have you had a look @ kdevelop?? | 15:08 |
| ciacon | apparle: I am rather into web-dev | 15:09 |
| apparle | genii: I use OSS drivers. Also the problem gets resolved if i compile and install ALSA-lib, but returns again after reboot | 15:09 |
| apparle | ciacon: I want good GUI results with minimum code and ofcourse and offline software | 15:11 |
| genii | apparle: Perhaps to try install or reinstall of packages libasound2 libasound2-plugins (ALSA) | 15:12 |
| ciacon | apparle: I haven't done much dev under linux... just some small mucking about... I am told - the place to start (if you are looking for a gui) is with kdevelop (which aparently offers somthing like VBasic to design a ui) | 15:12 |
| apparle | genii: But i use OSS not ALSA | 15:13 |
| apparle | ciacon: how to get it | 15:13 |
| ciacon | apparle: apt-get kdevelop | 15:14 |
| apparle | ciacon: any offline method?? I will try to download kdevelop .deb | 15:15 |
| ciacon | omg - a mate just got a bluescreen on windumb - IRC-logs managed to lock him down to 64k free on hdd -.- | 15:15 |

| ciacon | apparle: I am lost, when it goes to offline - I used to 18000down/1481up - no offline here ;-)... sorry =S | 15:16 |
| genii | apparle: Yes, I understood your post that you use OSS. But the error you described is reporting some libasound-related thing, which is ALSA related. | 15:16 |
| ciacon | apparle: is genii working on my prob?? | 15:17 |

| ciacon | apparle: not, that I'm glad to have more ;-) | 15:17 |

| ciacon | I have 2 uses for a comand-line based mp3-player (an ancient server in my citchen with speakers) and I love to be able to operate a player during gaming... only mp3blaster offers that - but for some reason it only can deal with OSS, ESD and 2 others - no alsa... I am slightly lost on how to get it to work... I tried setting OSS-output, but that fails, when kde is running (my old 7.04 managed this task like a doddle... | 15:20 |
| apparle | ciacon: do you have any problem if you install OSS drivers | 15:21 |
| ciacon | apparle: which are? | 15:21 |
| michael_ | ciacon: what doesn't mpg123 work? | 15:22 |
| michael_ | *why | 15:22 |
| apparle | ciacon: a replacement for ALSA drivers | 15:23 |
| ciacon | michael_: mpg123-alsa works fine - but I can't realisticly use it, to play my music-collection | 15:23 |
| apparle | ciacon: what did you do with alsa-oss | 15:24 |
| apparle | genii: are you there | 15:25 |
| ciacon | apparle: as far as I can understand, alsa-oss is there, that I can use a fake OSS-enviroment, that ALSA sets up | 15:26 |
| genii | apparle: Perhaps install package alsa-oss | 15:26 |
| ciacon | genii: installed that, rebootet, same prob.... | 15:26 |

| JackWinter | so then i did sudo dpkg -i *.deb | 15:40 |
| JackWinter | where do i find the source to compile it? | 15:40 |
| genii | apparle: So then try the install/reinstall of libasound2 libasound2-plugins ... then switch the system to alsa and try to start kmix again, see if it's giving you those "libasound" errors" etc etc | 15:41 |
| apparle | genii: anything else you can do | 15:41 |
| apparle | genii: dont you understand, the sound stops if I switch to alsa | 15:42 |
| apparle | genii: what is the use of kmix if there is no sound | 15:42 |
| * genii tries to see if he is giving obfuscated instructions of some sort or if the average person could undertand them | 15:43 | |
| Radi01 | Looks good to me. | 15:44 |
| apparle | genii: I have told you if I reinstall alsa-lib then kmix starts but again same error after reboot | 15:45 |
| genii | apparle: Ok i will explain the logic of my instructions more clearl: If alsa is not working and you say kmix gives you this libasound error... then obviously since libasound is an alsa library and there is some issue with it, reinstalling or installing it then trying to use alsa with kmix again to see now if the same libasound error repeats may be a useful debugging tool | 15:45 |

| t1n0m3n | eckmaster: open adept and search on crack | 16:48 |
| genii | eckmaster: There is a simpler way | 16:51 |
| eckmaster | genii: i'm hearing | 16:51 |
| genii | eckmaster: Boot to livecd. Mount the old hd which used to be the root directory of linux. Open from there the file which is called /etc/shadow normally. depending on where mounted may be something like /mnt/somedrive/etc/shadow then find the username in that file you wish to reset password of. There is a part which has a colon : then the hashed result of password. then another : remove everything between the two : and save it. Now | 16:53 |
| genii | is no passowrd | 16:53 |
| eckmaster | genii: the problem is that he has used RAID5 in combination with LVM. I tried to mount the drives with a live-cd, but it didn't work cause of the raid | 16:56 |
| genii | eckmaster: Yes that could be somewhat problemmatic then | 16:58 |
| eckmaster | genii: I can only mount the root directory as you said it but it only has 1,8GB. this is surely not the whole root-directory of a gentoo-system. | 16:58 |
| genii | eckmaster: His / was a RAID5 ? | 16:58 |
| genii | eckmaster: Well, you are in #kubuntu support not #gentoo :) But if you can mount the old root you can reset the password as i just described. although on gentoo I am not sure if then /etc/shadow is correct (on debian/ubuntu it is correct) | 17:00 |
| genii | eckmaster: If you reset the password from an accessible old / then when you boot the computer normally you should be able to login without password and acces the data RAID5 part | 17:01 |

| ubuntu | canonical is not paying so much attention to the superior KDE desktop ,giving all the credit to ubuntu instead ... | 17:13 |
| Tetrapus | hi there | 17:14 |
| ubuntu | so the question is ,why all you supreme KDE developers don't move to a more KDE friendly distro? sorry if offending anybody | 17:14 |
| === ubuntu is now known as drsys | ||
| Tetrapus | hi there. wanted to know how to remove all private data from kde, including cookies | 17:15 |
| genii | drsys: why not ask in #kubuntu-devel | 17:15 |
| jpatrick | genii: blah, trol | 17:16 |
| jpatrick | -l* | 17:16 |
| genii | Tetrapus: Do you mean more how do you purge internet private data? | 17:17 |
| genii | Seeing as cookies are a product of your web browwser for instance | 17:17 |
| Tetrapus | yes, genii, think so | 17:18 |

| newb | hello everybody! | 17:21 |
| udi | Stupidly, I installed the ATI proprietary driver, and now my GUI KDE Desktop is gone. How do I revert to the generic ati driver drom the command line? | 17:24 |
| blendtux | how can i edit program paths for kdeinit | 17:26 |
| BluesKaj | udi , the KDE GUI isn't gone , you just can't open X , the Xwindow system , due to the changes to your xorg file | 17:27 |
| BluesKaj | !Xserver | 17:27 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xserver - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 17:27 |
| BluesKaj | !Xorg | 17:28 |
| udi | that is what I feared... | 17:28 |
| ubotu | The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type « sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart » in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto | 17:28 |
| BluesKaj | ok udi ..are you on the TTY prompt ? | 17:28 |
| udi | yes | 17:28 |
| BluesKaj | ok , try the above command | 17:29 |
| BluesKaj | in your case it is : sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 17:29 |
| genii | Tetrapus: for that, you need to set inside of whichever web browser you are normally using the specifics. In firefox for instance you can set it to purge all personal data every time it closes, etc | 17:29 |
| udi | bluesKa, which command? | 17:30 |
| BluesKaj | udi, in your case it is : sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 17:30 |
| Tetrapus | why did i write KDE? i meant nautilus ~.~ genii | 17:30 |
| genii | Tetrapus: For nautilus perhaps ask in regular #ubuntu channel and not #kubuntu :) | 17:31 |
| * genii doesn't use nautilus much | 17:31 | |

| === narg_ is now known as narg | ||
| waylandbill | so I am thinking I want to write a man page type document. Where would I look to get started doing that? | 17:32 |
| genii | udi: try alt-f7 to see if console 7 has the kdm on it | 17:33 |
| genii | udi: sorry, forget that, i just scrolled up to see history of your issue LOL | 17:34 |
| udi | I hit Cntrl-alt-delete and it is now stuck with kubuntu wheel and progress bar 1/3 done | 17:34 |
| genii | udi: Instead, do ctrl-alt-f1 to enter console 1 then login, and reconfigure xorg again etc | 17:35 |
| udi | I do have a copy of the old xorg.conf on a flash USB drive | 17:35 |
| genii | udi: then even better, just copy it back to /etc/X11 | 17:35 |
| udi | I shall have to discover how to address the USB drive, but hold on | 17:36 |
| Tetrapus | genii: ii'm killing myself. i menat konqueror | 17:36 |
| Tetrapus | i always swap the names -.- | 17:36 |
| genii | Tetrapus: in konqueror. Settings...Configure Konqueror then set options for cookies,cache etc etc there | 17:38 |
| udi | how do I find out the name of the flash drive? | 17:39 |
| udi | it does not appear in media | 17:39 |
| Tetrapus | got it, thanks genii | 17:39 |
| genii | udi: have it unplugged then do: dmesg|tail then plug it in and do: dmesg|tail and note what drive it says | 17:41 |
| deepfreez | hi, i running kubuntu, how i can install java for mozilla firefox? | 17:41 |
| udi | Damn-- it now claims I cannot cp xorg.conf to /etc/X11/ because it is a read-only file system!!! | 17:42 |
| genii | deepfreez: j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin | 17:42 |
| genii | udi: sudo mount -a -o rw | 17:43 |

| udi | no, on another machine | 17:44 |
| deepfreez | genii, tnx | 17:44 |
| genii | deepfreez: np | 17:44 |
| udi | well, that failed | 17:44 |
| genii | udi: Then to remount all with option read/write should suffice | 17:45 |
| udi | FUSE mount point creation failed | 17:45 |
| genii | udi: eg: sudo mount -a -o rw | 17:45 |
| udi | I tried that, but got the FUSE response above | 17:45 |

| udi | I have learned my lesson-- EACH time I mess around with video stuff, I have to reinstall... ;-( | 17:46 |
| udi | I tried the ATI drivers because Gutsy was very sluggish | 17:47 |

| jhutchins | udi: How are you trying to copy it? | 17:51 |
| genii | !aptfix | 17:51 |

| genii | deepfreez: Do the sudo dpkg --configure -a thing there | 17:52 |
| udi | cp xorg.conf xorg.nov-29-2007 | 17:52 |
| genii | udi you have arguments reversed | 17:52 |
| udi | cp source destination... is that wrong? | 17:52 |
| genii | udi: firstly use full paths in this case | 17:53 |
| udi | I think it is right | 17:53 |
| udi | I am in the /etc/X11 directory | 17:53 |
| Kohlrabi | sudo cp ... | 17:54 |
| udi | sudo cp xorg.conf xorg.nov-29-2007 | 17:54 |
| genii | udi: If you are trying to put xorg.conf from the local working directory into another file as backup then correct syntax. Excdpt as Kohlrabi points out may need sudo pre-pend | 17:54 |
| deepfreez | genii, don't work | 17:55 |
| udi | I did, and I still get Cannot create regular file 'xorg.nov-29-2007': read-only file system | 17:55 |
| genii | deepfreez: Same error? (about fonts etc) | 17:56 |
| genii | udi: sudo mount / -s -o rw | 17:57 |

| udi | I am sure the drive is fine-- it was working perfectly until I install the ATI driver | 18:00 |
| genii | (since already ro mounted) | 18:00 |
| genii | udi: Yes but you have likely sloppy restart due to forcibly neding to turn off box, etc etc so fsck needs to scan | 18:00 |

| Berto | ciacon, no clue. I have MySQL on my LAMP setup | 18:40 |

| ciacon | Berto: have you got a big music-collection?? I went to #amarok the other day and they recomended me to migrate to a MySQL DB... (and as an added bonus you get a speedier ipod-db-update ;-) ) | 18:41 |

| ardchoille | That opens the file in the app that iassociated with that file association | 18:50 |

| ardchoille | pierreth: That might be exactly what konqueror does in the bg when you double click a file | 18:51 |

| ardchoille | pierreth: That might conflict with /usr/bin/open | 18:52 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: so 'Open' instead | 18:52 |
| ardchoille | How about "launch" ? | 18:53 |
| pierreth | I see that 'xdg-open' do the same | 18:53 |
| ardchoille | alias launch='kfmclient exec' | 18:53 |
| ardchoille | ? | 18:53 |

| waylandbill | I know it's simpler to toss some javascript on the client end to validate a form, but that could be done on the server side and the client would just think it was standard html if it was done right. Of course, that doesn't take into consideration rollovers and such... must stay on topic though. :) | 19:05 |
| pierreth | waylandbill: back to Kubuntu :) | 19:06 |
| Minataku | Heya, Dr_Willis | 19:08 |
| waylandbill | pierreth: if you really need to find the mac or windows roots without leaving kubuntu, there's always virtualbox. It's open source and works rather well. | 19:08 |
| pierreth | waylandbill: yes but I want to play games with Windows | 19:09 |
| === eviljager is now known as googlejager | ||
| pierreth | waylandbill: so I will need to install and two copies of Windows | 19:09 |
| pierreth | waylandbill: one native to play and another one virtual | 19:10 |
| waylandbill | pierreth: I hear that alot. It's a very valid argument. I personally abandoned the pc gaming and do it all on a console now. | 19:10 |
| pierreth | waylandbill: This is not fare to have to pay twice | 19:11 |
| waylandbill | pierreth: I think you can use the same copy in the VM. You have to activate it again. I'm not a lawyer, so that's not legal advice. :) | 19:11 |
| Berto | hey guys, i'm back with my amarok issue. Business came up. | 19:11 |
| Berto | anyway, genii - thanks so much for fixing the problem!! renaming amarokrc helped | 19:11 |
| waylandbill | pierreth: it was a shame to pay the first time. It's your hardware, but you have to pay to use it. | 19:11 |
| pierreth | waylandbill: I will to do that each time I am switching, this is a lot of trouble | 19:12 |
| Berto | ciacon, how do i change to MySQL i amarok? | 19:12 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, that's what i keep telling ppl...wanna game? buy an Xbox, PS or whatever , they're designed for games | 19:12 |
| pierreth | waylandbill: yes almost all PC comes with Windows, it is not even a choice | 19:12 |
| Berto | BAH. Playing a song in amarok froze it again | 19:13 |
| ardchoille | pierreth: You can also make a new, empty launcher on kicker and give it a command of "kfmclient exec" (without quotes), then drag and drop any file on that launcher and it will open in the appropriate app. | 19:13 |
| === hi is now known as qolo | ||
| waylandbill | there are small companies that don't put any operating system on by default. you can get good deals through them if you already have a livecd. | 19:14 |
| genii | Berto: Glad to help | 19:14 |
| Berto | genii, not so fast... i'm still not able to play music | 19:14 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: that's cool but the solution you gave me was just what I wanted | 19:15 |
| genii | Heh :) | 19:15 |
| genii | Berto: unfortunately I'm fairly occupied now in #ubuntu giving others support. Perhaps another can assist you more in here than me right now | 19:15 |
| ciacon | Berto: I have some slight recomendations for that - first you have to open a new catalogue in mysql - then I added a new user which may only acess that catalogue, and then you are down to amarok... settings --> configure amarok --> collection (right tab) --> collection DB --> mysql - the rest should be self-explanitory ;-) | 19:16 |
| === googlejager is now known as jager | ||
| Berto | ciacon, ok cool, i'll try that, but i don't think it's the root cause of my issue right now | 19:16 |
| blendtux | could somebody tell me where in kubuntu are the scripts so i could disable tty2-tty6 from beeing loaded at boot | 19:18 |
| BluesKaj | Berto, have you set up a default soundcard on your machine ? try this : cat /proc/asound/cards .. then : sudo asoundconf set-default-card "name of soundcard | 19:18 |
| Berto | BluesKaj, i only have one card, HDA-Intel. Is the name "0" or is it HDA-Intel ?? | 19:19 |
| Berto | BluesKaj, line 1 = 0 [Intel ]: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel and line 2 = HDA Intel at 0x8a300000 irq 22 | 19:19 |
| pierreth | I am not able to use my mouse well to shade my windows | 19:19 |
| Berto | this has been working for a year | 19:19 |
| BluesKaj | Berto, definitely HDA-Intel | 19:19 |
| pierreth | do you have a idea why it does not work? | 19:19 |
| Berto | BluesKaj, ciacon, now amarok freezes after i try playing a song. VLC and mplayer play it just fine | 19:22 |
| pierreth | Could the problem be the emulation of the tird mouse button? | 19:23 |
| * ScorpKing greets the pros and not-so-pros.. | 19:24 | |
| BluesKaj | Berto, ok, amarok is broken ...if you upgraded the OS lately sometimes the new codecs aren't installed properly or at all on amarok ... install libxine1-ffmpeg ..see if that helps | 19:25 |

| Radi01 | thanks | 20:22 |

| Alonea | now why does adept lock almost every time I use it in gusty? | 20:23 |
| Radi01 | After that? | 20:23 |

| Alonea | or what I did to make it so bad.... | 20:28 |
| ScorpKing | Alonea: use aptitude or apt-get from konsole and see what's the problem | 20:28 |
| ScorpKing | is there a way to remove all the <TAB> spaces in a textfile? | 20:29 |
| Alonea | ScorpKing: not sure. there was a java thing that was making it mad, but I removed it. Still seems to do it though. I will check again after I get all these installs on. | 20:29 |
| Alonea | ScorpKing: could always write a program to do it. I did something similar for my java class the other day. removed all extra spaces over one space | 20:30 |
| ScorpKing | ok. jou can also start adept from konsole and it will display the errors | 20:30 |
| ScorpKing | Alonea: i was looking for the easy way. :P | 20:30 |
| Alonea | ScorpKing: ah. well, if you have something like eclipse to compile and run I could give you code, but then again I have no idea if you have any programming experience. | 20:31 |

| === Necrobye is now known as Necrobyte | ||

| NickPresta | Narissa, as far as I know, this is a bug. The kdm theme module doesn't take into consideration a file in /etc/default/kdm.d/ | 23:30 |
| Narissa | Nick: so I am to assume that any theme's I install or use will be done manually then? | 23:30 |
| kub^ | hi, i have a logitech g5 mouse and want to use the side buttons for forward and back in firefox, any clues on where to start ? (gutsy) | 23:31 |
| NickPresta | Narissa, AFAIK, the kdm module is useless right now. Any themes downloaded from kde-look.org or something similar have to be added manually by editing the file in /etc/default/kdm.d/. Let me see if I can find anything on Launchpad | 23:32 |
| Narissa | Nick: kk 8) tyvm for the assist btw | 23:32 |
| Narissa | kub: you have the buttons working in general yes? | 23:32 |

| NickPresta | Narissa, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-systemsettings/+bug/148706 So apparently you need to edit the file manually or wait for a fix. | 23:36 |

| Hirvinen | patrik: Well, it's not your fault that the namespace is so limited. Collisions are common. | 23:43 |
| NickPresta | Hirvinen, how does "patrick" cause highlighting for you? | 23:44 |
| ardchoille | NickPresta: It's his first name and he set a hilight? | 23:44 |
| Hirvinen | NickPresta: "patrik", without 'c'. And it's my first name, which some people use to address me. | 23:44 |
| NickPresta | Hirvinen, ah, well. That would seem to be your fault then =P | 23:45 |
| === patrik is now known as Megget | ||
| Hirvinen | Megget: No need to change nicks. | 23:45 |
| NickPresta | It's okay. I used to highlight "Nick" and quickly realized that was not a good idea. | 23:45 |
| Megget | Haha, I was going to anyway :) | 23:45 |
| ardchoille | NickPresta: lol | 23:46 |
| Hirvinen | Hmm, Irssi doesn't have capability to exclude sources for highlight matching, only to include only given sources. | 23:47 |
