| ubotu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 00:01 |

| ubotu | tekteen: To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade » - See also !automate | 00:01 |

| Doctor_Nick | how do i check what packages I installed last? | 00:20 |

| mehrez | i want to kow if there's a solution to ugrade from kubuntu 6.10 to kubuntu 7 with the instalation CD of Kubuntu 7 | 00:20 |
| coreymon77 | you dont need the cd | 00:21 |
| WaltzingAlong | mehrez: usually suggested to dist-upgrade one release at a time. edgy->feisty feisty->gutsy | 00:22 |
| smooker | what was the cool program for Kubuntu with the cool visual efects ? | 00:23 |
| WaltzingAlong | !compiz | smooker | 00:24 |
| ubotu | smooker: 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 | 00:24 |
| smooker | 10x | 00:24 |
| Doctor_Nick | how do i check what packages I installed last? | 00:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | Doctor_Nick: memory. or when that fails, the list you made of which packages you installed and when. | 00:26 |
| WaltzingAlong | otherwise, i do not know of a way | 00:27 |
| gabriel_ | how do i do a release / renew of my ip adress? | 00:27 |
| ardchoille | Doctor_Nick: If you used command line to install them, then open a terminal and do: history | grep install | 00:27 |
| WaltzingAlong | gabriel_: dhclient ethx | 00:28 |
| Doctor_Nick | but I dont know what dependencies it might have installed | 00:28 |
| gabriel_ | not just a renew, i need release as well i think, so i really get a different IP address | 00:29 |
| ardchoille | Doctor_Nick: Did you use apt-get or aptitude ? | 00:29 |
| Doctor_Nick | apt-get | 00:29 |
| ardchoille | Doctor_Nick: You might have a look in /var/log/apt | 00:30 |
| Doctor_Nick | thanks | 00:30 |
| ardchoille | yw | 00:30 |
| WaltzingAlong | gabriel_: even so, the dhcp server likely gives the same as the lease has not yet expired | 00:30 |
| smooker | after i install compiz | 00:31 |
| smooker | how i can get to the configuration ? | 00:31 |

| === firec is now known as FireCrotch | ||
| gabriel_ | WaltzingAlong: it gives me a different one in windows when i do release renew, usually. | 00:37 |
| gabriel_ | WaltzingAlong: that's why i want those two operations in linux... | 00:38 |
| WaltzingAlong | gabriel_: ifconfig ethx down; ifconfig ethx up | 00:39 |
| smooker | omg compiz just rox | 00:39 |
| smooker | :D | 00:39 |
| WaltzingAlong | gabriel_: or sudo dhcpcd -k | 00:39 |
| gabriel_ | WaltzingAlong: are you SURE that those two correspond to release / renew in windows? | 00:41 |
| WaltzingAlong | to release the address the command should return the the dhcp release to the dhcp server which bringing down and up the device will not do | 00:42 |
| gabriel_ | for instance, ifconfig down, doesn't that only affect my machines status, and not the dhcp server? and same thing with up? | 00:42 |
| gabriel_ | WaltzingAlong: well then. then ifconfig cannot do what i ask... | 00:42 |
| WaltzingAlong | mostly you should search the manuals | 00:43 |
| WaltzingAlong | and a quick search of the web thanks to google | 00:43 |
| trillis | I got pidgin! | 00:43 |
| tyfon | sudo ifdown ethX and sudo ifup ethX | 00:43 |
| gabriel_ | yeah i'm searching as well | 00:43 |
| WaltzingAlong | then you would come across the dhclient command which will issue the dhcp release when passed the -r | 00:43 |
| coreymon77 | trillis: yay | 00:43 |
| trillis | I kinda did. | 00:43 |
| trillis | It's an rpm file.. | 00:43 |
| coreymon77 | ... | 00:44 |
| coreymon77 | why not just go to www.getdeb.net | 00:44 |
| coreymon77 | trillis: and get it as a deb | 00:44 |
| * trillis feels stuped | 00:44 | |
| crimsun | ...because getdeb.net is /not/ a vetted repo. | 00:44 |
| coreymon77 | okay then | 00:45 |
| gabriel_ | WaltzingAlong: thanks | 00:45 |
| coreymon77 | is it on apt for feisty | 00:45 |
| crimsun | it is a third-party repo, but to recommend it without at least appending a significant caveat is foolish. | 00:45 |
| WaltzingAlong | gabriel_: cheers | 00:45 |
| trillis | How do I find it on that site? | 00:45 |
| coreymon77 | crimsun: i meant go to the site and get the one file | 00:46 |
| coreymon77 | crimsun: not add it as a repo | 00:46 |
| trillis | I tried the search funtion and got: Distro id not found | 00:46 |
| crimsun | coreymon77: makes no difference. | 00:46 |
| coreymon77 | crimsun: its on the main page | 00:46 |

| coreymon77 | crimsun: well then what do you suggest | 00:46 |

| crimsun | ...no. | 00:47 |

| WaltzingAlong | man dhclient | gabriel_ | 00:49 |
| crimsun | coreymon77: what I said above, and then requesting a backport to feisty once 2.3.0 is vetted into hardy. | 00:50 |

| khatahn | WaltzingAlong: it's not the latest | 00:55 |
| trillis | Google found it for me <3... | 00:55 |
| crimsun | (or rather, we ship a script that grabs 9.0.48) | 00:55 |
| khatahn | crimsun: yeah, it's just that i'm looking for the new fullscreen feature which is not supported on that version | 00:56 |
| crimsun | coreymon77: I have a responsibility to recommend "proper" procedure for getting newer versions of software. | 00:56 |
| crimsun | khatahn: there is no newer stable version. | 00:56 |
| FireCrotch | coreymon77: what crimsun is saying is that rather than using a .deb found on some third party site, an official version should be used | 00:56 |
| coreymon77 | crimsun: im not talking about newer versions, im talking about getting it period | 00:56 |
| crimsun | coreymon77: getting it /period/ is moot; Ubuntu ships it in the main component. | 00:57 |
| coreymon77 | crimsun: apparently t\cant find it on apt | 00:57 |
| FireCrotch | coreymon77: in fiesty it's called gaim | 00:57 |
| Marfi | whenever i close amarok, it unmounts the drive that its playing music from. how do i stop it from doing this? | 00:58 |
| khatahn | crimsun: but there's a release candidate. i was just wondering if someone knows an unofficial ubuntu package somewhere | 00:58 |
| coreymon77 | trillis: you hear that? for feisty its gaim not pidgin | 00:58 |
| crimsun | khatahn: I don't know of one, but that certainly does not preclude its existence. | 00:58 |
| ardchoille | I thought trillis was on Futsy | 00:58 |
| ardchoille | *Gutsy | 00:59 |
| crimsun | khatahn: and I certainly don't recommend its usage, since it's broken IME. | 00:59 |
| coreymon77 | trillis: im confused, which one are you on | 00:59 |
| ardchoille | trillis: Open a terminal and do: lsb_release -a | 00:59 |
| nosrednaekim | Marfi: #amarok.. | 01:00 |

| trillis | Sorry, brb. | 01:00 |

| === FireCrotch is now known as FireC | ||

| ardchoille | dthacker: What is the name that was decided on for the kubuntu news? | 01:24 |
| ardchoille | s/name/page/ | 01:24 |
| Selanit | I'm having a weird problem with Firefox. Sometimes, but not reliably, I'll click a link, and the page will /appear/ to load but not really. That is, the URL in the address bar changes to the new address, the loading throbber runs for a while and then finishes, I get status updates - but the viewport still shows the previous page. | 01:25 |
| Selanit | I can make it display the page properly by resizing the window, but it's a serious pain in the butt. | 01:26 |
| Selanit | Anybody else have this problem? | 01:26 |
| neur1 | is that the new firefox? (updated) because mine does that too | 01:26 |
| ardchoille | Selanit: Never seen that problem. I have ff installed, do you have a url for that? | 01:27 |
| Selanit | ardchoille: No, I don't have an URL. It's not limited to any one site. I've seen it happen with Google searches, my own web sites, my school web site, randomly. There's no apparent pattern. | 01:28 |
| neur1 | sometimes it load a blank page and says it's done | 01:28 |
| Selanit | Mine's been doing it for at least three months | 01:28 |
| Radi01 | did you clear your cache and error control? | 01:29 |
| Selanit | I've tried hard refreshes (CTRL + SHIFT + R ignores cache). What do you mean by error control, tho? | 01:29 |
| Radi01 | undet tools | 01:29 |
| Radi01 | r | 01:29 |
| Selanit | Eh? | 01:29 |
| Radi01 | under tools | 01:30 |
| Selanit | Oh, the error CONSOLE, not the error control | 01:30 |
| Radi01 | ya | 01:30 |
| Selanit | I hadn't thought to check there, but I'm not seeing anything | 01:30 |
| smooker | anyone know some other cool program like compiz ? | 01:31 |

| somekool | YO | 01:38 |
| somekool | is there a way to rerun the keyboard selection application from the install once kubuntu is installed? | 01:39 |
| Dr_willis | its proberly setting the default in ...(let me check) | 01:39 |
| smooker | how i termina application ? | 01:39 |
| smooker | terminate * | 01:39 |
| Dr_willis | /etc/console-setup/config - has some keyboard settings in there. | 01:40 |
| Dr_willis | smooker, depends. use xkill in a terminal, then click on the app you want to kill - is one way | 01:40 |
| smooker | haha its cool 10x :D | 01:43 |
| smooker | quite easy :D | 01:43 |
| Radi01 | Ubuntu has an icon for that , dont know about kubuntu. | 01:46 |

| smooker | btw Kubuntu is on 4GB dvd how Ubuntu is only on 1 CD ? | 01:48 |
| smooker | :O | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | smooker, look closer.. they both have cd and dvd versions | 01:48 |
| Dr_willis | and a live cd, and a alternative cd. version | 01:49 |
| smooker | is there way to download 5/4 cd's not dvd ? | 01:49 |
| Dr_willis | theres no need to download several cd's you wont gain much by using the dvd either. | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | the dvd may have some extra packages.. but i think mainly its a live cd + the alternative installercd. | 01:50 |
| draik | Dr_willis: Sounds about right | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | i dont think the dvd Installs any of the extra packages. | 01:50 |
| Dr_willis | and of course - it proberly wont have the updates. | 01:51 |

| draik_ | So what is the purpose of a DSL filter if it doesn't make a change? | 01:56 |
| draik_ | DSL connection dies when a call enters. | 01:57 |
| draik_ | :( | 01:57 |
| Radi01 | Go back and look and see if they are installed right. | 01:57 |
| Radi01 | and not backwards | 01:57 |
| Dr_willis | or sideways | 01:57 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 01:57 |
| Radi01 | lol | 01:57 |
| zibrah3ed | Draik_: OPr installed on your modems line | 01:59 |
| draik_ | We aren't using any at this time. | 01:59 |
| draik_ | We took them off | 02:00 |
| Radi01 | There is one that uses both phone and modem on same line. | 02:00 |
| draik_ | DSL won't even give me 100KB/s downloads | 02:00 |
| draik_ | I miss my $CABLE_ISP and the 300KB/s connections | 02:00 |
| Radi01 | Somthing is draging the line/somewhere | 02:00 |
| Radi01 | Who is the provider | 02:00 |
| draik_ | Verizon | 02:01 |
| draik_ | America's #1 blah blah blah | 02:01 |

| Hizzle | I was wondering I am about to install kubuntu on laptop and replace vista, now for all the hardware like vid card, webcam, etc do I gotta individually get drivers for each one so they work with linux or how does that work? | 02:02 |
| draik_ | Hizzle: You should be ready to go with the install | 02:02 |
| draik_ | What is your video card? | 02:02 |
| Dr_willis | Hizzle, rarely. The video card and network cards (wireless) are progerly the only things you may need todownload stuff for to get full ussage | 02:02 |
| Dr_willis | Linux blows windows away in this area. :) | 02:02 |
| Radi01 | Just rte-check everything/im sure youll find somthing/plus/you might mant to reset your modem from the (back). | 02:03 |
| draik_ | Radi01: I've done that so many times. I've given that crappy modem/router amnesia by now | 02:03 |
| Radi01 | hahaha | 02:03 |
| === velho is now known as ciperlone | ||
| Radi01 | what about old wire? | 02:03 |
| draik_ | That's probably the cause. It forgot what it is and what to do. | 02:04 |
| Hizzle | alright I just want everything to work fine I am in the military and I am gone alot and the laptop is my way of chattin with my wife | 02:04 |
| draik_ | Hizzle: You should be ready to go from the start. I don't believe you will have any issues with the install and usage. | 02:05 |
| Radi01 | Hizzle: you will be glad you did. | 02:05 |
| Hizzle | alright thanks | 02:05 |
| Hizzle | thats what I keep hearing | 02:05 |
| Radi01 | I sent bill gates packing 1 yr ago. | 02:06 |
| draik_ | To top it off, Verizon told my mom that DSL was going to be faster than the cable internet we currently had. | 02:06 |

| Hizzle | Kubuntu is a full OS right I dont need linux already installed do I? | 02:31 |
| zibrah3ed | correct | 02:31 |
| ardchoille | Hizzle: Linux = kernel, kubuntu has it already | 02:31 |
| Hizzle | ok I am new to this whole thing, trying to get my feet wet | 02:32 |
| Radi01 | take your time. | 02:32 |
| beefjerky | oobe: I've had similar problems. VLC works better, imho. You could try the media player connectivity extension of firefox to use VLC instead | 02:32 |
| ardchoille | Hizzle: Linux = kernel, kubuntu = Linux distribution | 02:32 |
| Radi01 | ya use the (mosilla vlc) plugin. | 02:32 |

| beefjerky | radi01: was that directed to me? if so, i use 32bit | 02:35 |
| beefjerky | ftr, opera does not seem to be affected by this (but my precious extensions!) | 02:36 |

| Radi01 | you mean kd4? | 02:38 |
| ardchoille | It's there, I just don't remember the package name | 02:38 |
| beefjerky | pierreth: what do you need that you can't get using Adept or compiling yourself? | 02:38 |
| pierreth | beefjerky: it don't remember exactly, I was having more kde application with my older version of Kubuntu | 02:39 |
| ardchoille | pierreth: If you can name a few apps, someone could tell you what you need. | 02:39 |
| beefjerky | pierreth: have you looked into Add/Remove Programs? There's tons of stuff you can add | 02:39 |
| pierreth | beefjerky: yes, too much, this is where I need to find it | 02:40 |

| pierreth | these are not in the user directory? | 02:47 |
| ardchoille | pierreth: You mean your $HOME dir? | 02:47 |
| beefjerky | holzmodem: alt+f2 > appearance and themes | 02:47 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: yes | 02:47 |
| ardchoille | beefjerky: iirc, font *color* isn't in the settings | 02:47 |
| pierreth | I running 7.10 with my old 7.04 directory | 02:47 |
| beefjerky | ardchoille: youre probably right, and i forgot "kcontrol" in there anyway | 02:48 |
| ardchoille | He'd have to write it into ~/.gtkrc-2 I think | 02:48 |
| pierreth | is the file format for keyboard shortcuts has change in version 7.10? | 02:49 |
| ardchoille | pierreth: And which shortcuts are you speaking of? Desktop shortcuts? kmenu items? | 02:49 |
| beefjerky | ardchoille: even if he uses the KDE style in gtk? | 02:49 |
| ardchoille | beefjerky: Not sure about that one | 02:49 |
| holzmodem | beefjerky: i using kde, the fontcolor in kcontrol is set to lightgrey, but the font in gtk apps is still black | 02:49 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: my personal keyboard shortcuts that I had in the K menu | 02:49 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: There were all gone once in 7.10 | 02:50 |
| beefjerky | holzmdoem: have you tried making gtk use KDE styles (it's in kcontrol>appearance and themes) If that doesn't work, you'll probably have to tweak the settings manually :( | 02:50 |
| ardchoille | pierreth: Did you copy over the ~/.kde/share/apps/kcmkeys/<filename> file too? | 02:50 |
| ardchoille | pierreth: Also, if you didn't explicitly save those kb shorcuts to a file, they may be gone. I had to tangle with that too. | 02:51 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: What I did is that I hype out my user directory and I replaced it with the one that I had in 7.04 | 02:51 |
| ardchoille | pierreth: That happened with me and I found the problem was that I didn't save the shortcuts | 02:52 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: What do you mean, not saved? There are not in the user directory? | 02:53 |
| ardchoille | pierreth: kde uses them, but to save them to disk yu need to save them to a file. they are saved in ~/.kde/share/apps/kcmkeys/<filename> | 02:53 |
| ardchoille | At least that is what I was told | 02:54 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: Aren't they saved each I save the K menu with the editor? | 02:54 |
| pierreth | each time, I mean | 02:55 |
| ardchoille | pierreth: Nope, kmenu otems and keyboard shortcuts are two different things.. unless you mean your kmenu item shortcuts. | 02:55 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: yes, I mean kmenu item shortcuts | 02:56 |
| ardchoille | Those should have been saved in ~/.config/menus/ somewhere | 02:56 |
| ardchoille | pierreth: You can always open kmenuedit and re-enter them | 02:56 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: yes, I did that. I just wanted to understand why | 02:57 |
| apparle | genii: are you there | 02:57 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: Otherwise, everything was the way I left | 02:57 |
| pierreth | I did just that when I moved my kde suff from the mac ppc to an intel pc | 02:58 |
| ardchoille | pierreth: You can save some time/hassle by putting $HOME on its own partiton next time you install. This will keep your user dir just the way you left it | 02:58 |
| somekool | i installed ubuntu, then installed the kubuntu-desktop and I lost the french-canadian keyboard. I tried every options in kcontrol. is it possible to re-run the tool that kubuntu uses at install time ? | 02:58 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: what should I use to format and partition the disk? | 02:59 |
| pierreth | I was very happy to see my desktop the way I left it even if it was a complety different machine | 03:00 |
| ardchoille | pierreth: That can be done in the kubuntu installer or you can use gparted/qtparted for that, but don't worry about it until you next install | 03:00 |
| pierreth | this is very nice | 03:00 |
| ardchoille | somekool: Have you tried the Regional & Accessibility > Keyboard Layout tools in kcontrol? | 03:01 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: could I use to make an easy install of BSD? | 03:01 |
| ardchoille | pierreth: I know nothing about BSD, sorry | 03:01 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: could I partition without formatting? | 03:02 |
| ardchoille | pierreth: Making a partition without formatting that partition with a file system is useless | 03:02 |
| ardchoille | You need an fs on the part | 03:02 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: I mean without formatting the whole disk | 03:03 |
| rick_ | how do I set the clock on right bottom corner to show 12 hour time in AM & PM ? | 03:03 |
| ardchoille | pierreth: Oh, yes, you can make a new part and format just that part, but be very careful as one mistake can destroy other partitions. I would recommend you learn more about partitioning | 03:03 |
| pierreth | ardchoille: OK, and how can I learn? | 03:04 |
| Dragnslcr | rick_- right click -> Date and Time Format | 03:04 |
| ardchoille | rick_: Right click the clock, choose Date & Time Format, go to the Times & Dates tab and change the Time format | 03:05 |
| ardchoille | rick_: If it tells you that you need to log out and back in, just restart kicker: dcop kicker default restart | 03:05 |

| Dragnslcr | It's funny cause it's true | 03:15 |
| apparle | and what is new in gutsy over fiesty | 03:16 |
| ardchoille | Restricted manager was the only thing I noticed | 03:16 |
| oobe | gutsy has ntfs-3g pre configured | 03:17 |
| pjeide | I have the nvidia-glx-new drivers installed (100.14.19). I have two monitors.. 1680x1050 and 1024x768. By using the XServer Display Configuration option in nvidia-settings I was able to set up both screens appropriately. | 03:17 |
| oobe | it also has mythbuntu | 03:17 |
| pjeide | However, when I go to my Monitor & Display settings in KDE my system thinks I have a 2704x1050 desktop. Is there a way to configure the system so that it recognizes two distinct screens? There is an option in "SIze, Orientation & Positioning" for second screen, but it doesn't let me check the box for second screen. | 03:17 |
| pjeide | Is that a problem with my xorg.conf..? | 03:17 |
| oobe | pjeide, i have the same thing it has never mattered | 03:18 |
| pjeide | oobe: I want to play games at fullscreen on one montior | 03:18 |
| ardchoille | pjeide: Did you click the Admin Mode button on the bottom? | 03:18 |
| Dr_willis | pjeide, you using nvidia card? | 03:18 |
| pjeide | but wine and directx only see my screen @ 2704x1050 | 03:18 |
| pjeide | ardchoille: yes | 03:18 |
| pjeide | Dr_willis: yes | 03:18 |
| apparle | I have ATI drivers installed and set he screen to 1280x1024. but the logon screen has a diffrent resolution. what to do | 03:19 |
| oobe | you need to configure it to lauch using xinerame one screem x | 03:19 |
| oobe | *xinerama | 03:19 |
| Dr_willis | pjeide, for my nvidia systems. I had to enable the twinview settings using the nvidia contrll tool. THEN restart the X server for the programs to see it right. | 03:19 |
| pjeide | I am not currently using xinerama, perhaps that might help | 03:19 |
| Dr_willis | I was thinking that twinview was used in place of xinerama. | 03:20 |
| pjeide | Dr_willis: I have it setup for twinview, and I have been using it this way for about a month | 03:20 |
| oobe | it is | 03:20 |
| Dr_willis | I can move/max programs on one screen or another. Not sure if i got xinerama enabled or not. | 03:20 |
| pjeide | Dr_willis: as can I | 03:20 |
| pjeide | everything works appropriately except what resolution games recognize in WINE | 03:20 |
| Dr_willis | ive noticed that some programs are just brain dead about how they do the screen sizes. :( sadly | 03:20 |
| Dr_willis | ahh so wine is the only catch eh? | 03:21 |
| ardchoille | Figures | 03:21 |
| pjeide | mmm well some linux apps as well as you mentioned | 03:21 |
| Dr_willis | Ive notied issues with java games/programs mainly. | 03:21 |
| oobe | sounds like a tricky setup both my monitors are identical for that reason | 03:21 |
| Dr_willis | a few linux apps like.. err.. vmware, (which suprised me) and a few others. | 03:21 |
| pjeide | yea.. I tried a game called Einstein but it launches splayed out over both screens unintelligably | 03:21 |
| oobe | i dont play games either | 03:21 |
| Dr_willis | mame also had issues. | 03:22 |
| pjeide | oobe: I think that is one primary issue is that I'm using different resolutions | 03:22 |
| oobe | i spose u have already googled a bit? | 03:22 |
| pjeide | I am just wondering if I configure my xorg.conf differently if I might get KDE to recognize the dual screen setup | 03:22 |
| ardchoille | pjeide: That would make my brain explode :P | 03:22 |
| pjeide | oobe: mmhmm :P | 03:22 |
| Evil_ | Anyway to get past having to put in the Kubuntu disc, because I sorta lost mine lol (when installing the build-essential) | 03:23 |
| Dr_willis | pjeide, but you said kde and normal apps are working right - just wine is the problem? | 03:23 |
| Dr_willis | Section "ServerFlags" | 03:23 |
| Dr_willis | Option "Xinerama" "0" | 03:23 |
| ardchoille | Evil_: You can comment the cd lines in /etc/apt/sources.list | 03:23 |
| pjeide | Dr_willis: I am perfectly able to fullscreen applications on one screen as long as the app doesn't seem fundamentally flawed | 03:23 |
| Dr_willis | is whats in my main machine.. I THINK 0 = disables Xinerama | 03:23 |
| Evil_ | ok, thanks, ardchoille | 03:23 |
| Dr_willis | pjeide, yep. Ive seen the same issue under windows also.. bad programing. :( | 03:24 |
| ardchoille | Evil_: If you do that, then you'l need to reload the sources to take effect: sudo apt-get update | 03:24 |
| pjeide | Dr_willis: So put that way, yes, it seems as though WINE's implementation of DirectX only detects the resolution reported by KDE | 03:24 |
| oobe | xinerama is meant for running 2 xservers i forgot to mention that | 03:24 |
| pjeide | oobe: Which I am uninterested in doing | 03:24 |
| oobe | but that is a sure way of setting it up to work | 03:24 |
| pjeide | I see. | 03:24 |
| pjeide | that is logical | 03:24 |
| Dr_willis | xinerama i though twas ment to set 2 displays to be seen as one large one... twinview does a similer task but with some specific exceptions,details worked out. | 03:25 |
| Dr_willis | ie; maxamizing to just 1 monitor, and so forth. | 03:25 |
| Dr_willis | the #wine guys and forums for wine may have some work arounds. | 03:25 |
| Dr_willis | There may be a way to tell wine 'my monitor is actually.... So x So' | 03:26 |
| pjeide | Dr_willis, oobe, ardchoille: thanks for your assistance | 03:26 |
| ardchoille | yw | 03:27 |
| oobe | np | 03:27 |
| oobe | hope you get there | 03:27 |
| oobe | pjeide, you could try using a different driver like nv or vesa | 03:28 |
| pjeide | that is another option | 03:28 |

| apparle | how to change the resolution of the logon screen | 03:28 |
| Evil_ | to the people who told helped me, I solute you! XD | 03:28 |
| pjeide | I went through quite a fiasco rewriting my xorg.conf to accept this video card over the onboard Intel gpu along with blacklisting the onboard's driver.. I am reluctant to go through rewriting the file again :-) It sounds as though trying to futz with WINE might be the best option | 03:28 |
| Evil_ | salute* whatever l0l | 03:29 |
| oobe | you should disable ur onboard graphics card in the bios | 03:29 |
| apparle | what to do to change the resolution of logon screen | 03:30 |
| oobe | and its not that hard to switch drivers its only one line | 03:30 |
| oobe | you can back up your xorg.conf | 03:30 |
| pjeide | oobe: of course | 03:30 |
| pjeide | oobe: I am just less than compelled to play with it more from that end | 03:30 |
| oobe | did you disable your onboard card? | 03:30 |
| pjeide | yes | 03:30 |
| pjeide | well | 03:31 |
| pjeide | the BIOS only has the option to set priority | 03:31 |
| oobe | wow i thought that would of fixed it | 03:31 |
| oobe | oh ok | 03:31 |
| rick_ | Anyone know Quanta+ ? | 03:31 |
| pjeide | which is similiar to disabling I suppose, because it will give priority to the PCI card (second hand box) in the event that one is detected | 03:31 |
| pjeide | and the onboard card gets disabled | 03:31 |
| pjeide | which alone wasn't sufficient, neither was blacklisting the intel driver. I had to rewrite xorg file using a configuration utility, which got it booted right up | 03:32 |

| sMonk | "There was an error commiting changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages" | 03:53 |
| Neoxeekhrobe | Zoo1: just detach your second monitor. | 03:53 |
| sMonk | But the "program" that I'm installing seems to install and work fine... it's more of an annoyance | 03:53 |

| Neoxeekhrobe | guys in KDE(kubuntu) when I use tab button to move around within a dialog window I am unable to see where the focus is going. If there are too many fields and buttons, I am forced to use the mouse. Is there a way to change this so that I could see the focus move? | 03:54 |
| Neoxeekhrobe | I am unable to see focus mover over buttons and check boxes. Links and text fields are fine. | 03:54 |
| Dr_willis | Neoxeekhrobe, may want to try some other themes/widget sets. | 03:54 |
| Neoxeekhrobe | I am currently using the default theme. | 03:55 |
| ardchoille | Neoxeekhrobe: Some apps which have tabs have the tab key focus run into the depths of those tabs.. so if yo ar enot on the tab that is currently focused with the tab key, you won't see the focus. | 03:56 |
| ardchoille | And then there are devs who don't even set tab focus when deisgning the apps | 03:56 |
| Neoxeekhrobe | but its like the same thing on all apps | 03:56 |
| Neoxeekhrobe | even on dialog boxes that have no tabs | 03:57 |

| level1 | Could not find mime type application/octet-stream | 05:11 |
| ardchoille | Right | 05:11 |
| level1 | I get that error message every time I start an app... the app still starts | 05:12 |
| level1 | causes some trouble on startup too | 05:12 |
| ardchoille | level1: Sometimes changing file associations can remove the octet-stream, you just need to re-add it. I'll help you do that. | 05:12 |
| level1 | I tried changing the first four bits of each file, it still has this problem | 05:12 |
| level1 | ardchoille: I can do that | 05:12 |
| ardchoille | level1: ok, add octet-stream back to the applications group but don't give it a file extension or an application | 05:13 |
| level1 | ardchoille: I just want to be able to one click open my roms, but when I re-add octet-stream, I lose the genesis roms | 05:13 |
| ardchoille | That's a bug, I don't know how to fix it, tho :( | 05:13 |
| level1 | ardchoille: anyway, I tried changing the first four bytes of each file in a hex editor and then putting the association back in... didn't seem to work, although dgen still opens the files | 05:14 |

| nicolas | Hey guys, I just installed 7.10 (dual booting with Gentoo), I used LILO from my Gentoo to boot Kubuntu. Can anyone check my lilo.conf to ensure it is correct? (for instance, I didnt add the UUID stuff from grub) | 05:19 |
| stdin | it's not really there, only in your mind | 05:19 |
| * purpleposeidon redirects stdin to /proc/self/fd/0 | 05:19 | |
| stdin | purpleposeidon: still doesn't exist, proc is magical :p | 05:20 |
| * purpleposeidon surgically opens up stdin's hard drive, puts an ant inside, and closes it | 05:22 | |
| * stdin debugs | 05:22 | |
| ardchoille | There, stdin, you now have a bug | 05:22 |
| ardchoille | hehe | 05:23 |
| stdin | same thought :p | 05:23 |
| purpleposeidon | better make sure you've got GDB installed. | 05:23 |
| stdin | I have gdb, ddd and kdbg | 05:23 |
| level1 | nicolas: why don't use grub? | 05:24 |
| level1 | nicolas: any reason? | 05:24 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Cryptic_Creature | ||
| nicolas | level1: Always prefered LILO. It also allows me to display a bitmap instead of the menu. Last I checked grub only allows an image as a background to the menu. That and all my configs were already in LILO on my /boot. But never encountered all the UUID stuff that kubuntu put into it's grub. Never seen it configured as a menu.lst either. | 05:25 |
| level1 | my grub doesn't have UUIDs, I don't think... | 05:26 |
| stdin | nicolas: not sure lilo can do the UUID stiff, but it's not required, you can still use /dev/ addresses | 05:26 |
| level1 | oh I see | 05:27 |
| level1 | if menu.lst is anything like fstab, the UUIDs aren't actually nessary... I don't know why ubuntu uses them | 05:27 |
| nicolas | ok, just wondering since I wasnt sure what they were. Second up would be how do I get KDE4. AFAIK still in beta but I wouldnt mind trying it. Is there a metapackage or something for it. | 05:27 |
| level1 | It causes hell when I do any kind of trivial reformating.. | 05:27 |
| nicolas | I've never seen UUIDs in fstab *shrugs* But I've mostly been on Gentoo and Fedora. | 05:28 |
| level1 | nicolas: I find complining it from source is always much more stable than getting the binaries... | 05:28 |
| level1 | nicolas: it takes a little while (mostly downtime) but its not that hard | 05:28 |
| level1 | nicolas: I'll get you a link | 05:28 |
| stdin | nicolas: kde4 reached RC1 a little while ago, see the link in the topic to get it | 05:29 |
| nicolas | checking | 05:29 |
| level1 | http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4 | 05:29 |
| stdin | ardchoille: /whois me :) | 05:31 |
| sparr_ | [how] can i symlink directories across different drives and have the ".." directory behave sensibly? | 05:31 |
| stdin | sparr_: if you use relative links then you need to make sure the partitions are mounted in the same place all the time | 05:32 |
| ardchoille | stdin: That's more like it :) | 05:32 |
| stdin | :) | 05:33 |
| ardchoille | stdin: Tho, it's good to see the pdpc support | 05:33 |
| sparr_ | stdin: they are | 05:33 |
| ardchoille | O may apply for membership myself, tho I don't know if I'm eligible | 05:33 |
| sparr_ | stdin: and the links are absolute | 05:33 |
| stdin | ardchoille: I may get it added back, but I don't need to advertise my support for pdpc as long I a | 05:34 |
| stdin | * as I support them | 05:34 |
| ardchoille | True | 05:34 |
| stdin | spar_: then what's not working in your case? | 05:34 |
| stdin | ardchoille: why wouldn't you be eligible ? | 05:35 |
| ardchoille | stdin: I'm not a coder nor an important person | 05:36 |
| stdin | ardchoille: I only just finished my 1st beginners book on c++, I don't consider myself a coder | 05:36 |
| purpleposeidon | ardchoille: But do you have money? | 05:36 |
| stdin | ardchoille: and providing support is important | 05:37 |
| ardchoille | stdin: I think I'll apply, the most they can say is no. | 05:37 |
| draik | How do you piece together rar files that are filename.part001.rar, filename.part002.rar, etc....? | 05:37 |
| stdin | ardchoille: ask what you can do to help too (with documentation for instance) too | 05:38 |
| ardchoille | draik: Wouldn't unrar do that? | 05:38 |
| ardchoille | !rar | 05:38 |
| ubotu | 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-free | 05:38 |
| ardchoille | !unrar | 05:38 |
| draik | ardchoille: Yet again, thanks for the info. | 05:40 |
| ardchoille | draik: You're welcome :) | 05:40 |
| draik | I have the worst luck with part001.rar types | 05:40 |
| draik | r01 and so forth are ok | 05:41 |
| somekool | hello | 05:41 |
| somekool | I want to install kde4 on my kubuntu system, any package of RC1 that can be easily installedÉ | 05:41 |
| somekool | ?? | 05:41 |
| ardchoille | draik: With today's DSL and high capacity devices, I can nly assume that is an old set of rar files. | 05:41 |
| stdin | somekool: yes, see the link in the topic | 05:41 |
| draik | ardchoille: possibly. It's a movie | 05:42 |
| ardchoille | draik: In that case, it may have been broken down to aid in fast downloading | 05:42 |
| leileilol | how can i get fluidsynth working as the default midi synth? | 05:43 |
| draik | ardchoille: And that's fine, but I would prefer r01, r02, etc... | 05:43 |
| nicolas | Is VMware supported under kubuntu? | 05:43 |
| ardchoille | draik: yeah | 05:43 |
| draik | nicolas: Yes | 05:43 |
| Stokesy | why is 667 ram more expensive than 800? | 05:43 |
| nicolas | draik: just run the tarball or is there a adept repo I havent found? | 05:44 |
| draik | 667 is the neighbor to The Beast | 05:44 |
| draik | !vmware | 05:44 |
| ubotu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 05:44 |
| Stokesy | is 667 better than 800? all of dell's 'high end' machines have 667 | 05:44 |
| nicolas | Stokesy: RAM is priced to order. Its about the only computer component that isnt priced as per its performance. | 05:44 |
| draik | It's late. I'm going to leave the desktop on overnight to download the movie at average 25KB/s. :/ | 05:47 |
| nicolas | thats a wee bit slow. Better be a good movie heh | 05:47 |
| somekool | I have a serious keyboard problem that I really can`t fix.. I set my xorg to a french-canadian keyboard which works fine under kdm login manager. but once i logon in KDE, it get screwed and becomes half working. any idea what could it be ? | 05:48 |
| stdin | have you set the keyboard layout in system settings > regional & language ? | 05:49 |
| IceGuest_7 | could someone point me in the direction of a good tutorial for installing kubuntu while still keeping winxp intact? that whole partition thing has me a little confused. thank you in advance. | 05:50 |

| INIT_6 | Right now, I am kind of stuck using VLC to play music. what is a really good mp3 player for kubuntu. don't like amarok, or kaffine. any suggestions? | 06:34 |

| * trillis is linux retarded | 06:41 | |
| stdin | try starting up a video in firefox first, then the file should be created, then edit it | 06:42 |
| trillis | Should I install mozilla-mplayer first? | 06:42 |
| stdin | yes | 06:42 |
| stdin | and if you've installed any other media player plugins for firefox you should remove them | 06:43 |
| stdin | they can conflict and stop each other | 06:43 |
| trillis | Said broken packages...? | 06:43 |
| stdin | helps to have the whole error message, pastebin is your friend | 06:44 |

| trillis | Yes. | 06:54 |

| stdin | trillis: have adept or another package manager open? | 06:54 |

| sigma_ | does anyone know if xorg-driver-fglrx_7.1.0-8.28.8+2.6.17.9-12.4_i386.deb will work on feisty? i tried it on gutsy with my ati mobility 9000 and it picked up the driver but didnt work | 06:57 |
| sigma_ | trillis: dam don't you think its time to upgrade:) | 06:58 |
| stdin | trillis: close all package managers, press Alt-F2 and type in "kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list" then post that file to pastebin | 06:58 |
| stdin | sigma_: why didn't you install the gutsy version of the driver on gutsy? | 06:59 |
| trillis | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/46536/ | 06:59 |
| sigma_ | stdin: ati dropped support for my chipset in that version :( so i can't use the latest version | 07:00 |
| stdin | sigma_: then your only option is to get the old driver from ati.com and install that (if it exists) | 07:00 |
| sigma_ | i got the version from the ubuntu repo's, is that the same thing? | 07:01 |
| stdin | sigma_: no, that version will only work with a certain kernal version, the 2.6.17 one (gutsy uses 2.6.22) | 07:02 |
| stdin | trillis: see the line "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe", add the word "multiverse" after "universe" so it looks like "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse" | 07:02 |
| sigma_ | dam! | 07:03 |
| sigma_ | so if i install the binary one from the ati website in gutsy it should work you say? | 07:03 |
| trillis | To all of them? | 07:03 |
| stdin | trillis: no, just that one line | 07:03 |
| stdin | sigma_: only if that particular version is available | 07:04 |
| fildo | ok i have a nvidia question if anyone can answer for me | 07:04 |
| sigma_ | ya i saw it on the ati site - they keep it in the archives | 07:04 |
| trillis | save? | 07:04 |
| stdin | sigma_: or you could get "fglrx-kernel-source" from feisty and compile that one on gutsy, that may work | 07:04 |
| stdin | trillis: yes, then do "sudo apt-get update" | 07:05 |
| sigma_ | fildo: shoot, nvidia is usually simpler than ati | 07:05 |
| sigma_ | ]stdin: what does that kernel source thing do? | 07:05 |
| trillis | It finished, not try mozilla-mplayer? | 07:05 |
| stdin | sigma_: that's the source of the driver, the same one that's used to make the driver on feisty | 07:06 |
| stdin | trillis: yes | 07:06 |
| trillis | Yaay, thank you stdin. | 07:06 |
| sigma_ | stdin: does it work on gutsy as well and how exactly do i use it after installing it? | 07:07 |
| trillis | I'll most likely be on tomorrow with many more questions and dilemma's. | 07:07 |
| fildo | sigma_: using fiesty i was using the proprietary driver it worked brillant. now i have upgraded to gutsy. using the proprietary driver , it tend to login to kde, then boot me out into the login screen after a few mins, like its crashing | 07:07 |
| trillis | Thanks, and have a good night. | 07:07 |
| stdin | sigma_: you get that package and then do something like "sudo ma ai fglrx" i think | 07:07 |

| Radi01 | did ya find it | 07:08 |
| sigma_ | fildo: did you build the driver from the nvidia or use the glx drivers in the repo? | 07:09 |
| fildo | glx in the repo | 07:09 |
| fildo | i usally install it myself, thru apt-get | 07:09 |
| ardchoille | Radi01: I was going to suggest you stand on your head :) | 07:09 |
| Radi01 | lol | 07:09 |
| fildo | but i have been told you can also use restircted-manager | 07:09 |
| Radi01 | Some people have no sense of humor. | 07:10 |
| fildo | fiesty used to use nvidia-glx | 07:10 |
| sigma_ | fildo: dont use restricted manager, confuses the situation, what card do you have? | 07:10 |
| fildo | gutsy uses nvidia-glx-new. could be the driver i say | 07:11 |
| fildo | im on a laptop | 07:11 |
| sigma_ | fildo: gutsy also uses it, thats how i installed my one, no there is a "nvidia-glx" version for gutsy | 07:11 |
| sigma_ | check it out @ packages.ubuntu.com | 07:12 |

| purpleposeidon | How do I make wlassistant run with that setuid thing? | 07:20 |

| purpleposeidon | If I do chmod+s; it says The KDE libraries are not designed to run with suid privileges. | 07:21 |
| sigma_ | stdin: ok im lost what do you mean? | 07:21 |
| ardchoille | purpleposeidon: Be careful with setuid, are you sure you really need to change that? | 07:21 |
| purpleposeidon | ardchoille: Yeah, I'm lazy. | 07:22 |
| ardchoille | purpleposeidon: fwiw, being lazy can open up a security hole where one wouldn't otherwise be open :) | 07:22 |
| purpleposeidon | "Oh no, somebody's gonna somehow login to my laptop and do x forwarding, and change my wireless access point!" | 07:22 |
| stdin | sigma_: from what I think I know ;) you do "sudo apt-get install module-assistant build-essential debhelper debconf dh-make fakeroot libstdc++5 linux-headers-generic fglrx-kernel-source" then do "sudo m-a prepare,update" then "sudo m-a build,install fglrx-kernel" | 07:24 |

| stdin | sigma_: the fglrx-kernel-source package is just the source, it should build on any version | 07:26 |
| stdin | *should* (doesn't mean it will) | 07:27 |

| sigma_ | convert it to a gutsy deb | 07:28 |
| stdin | if you built it with module-assistant then it is | 07:29 |

| FunnyLookinHat | Ah crap, just read the news about KDE 4.0 being pushed back another month to mid-january : P | 08:38 |
| === posingaspopular is now known as posingaspopula | ||
| Lynoure | I could not figure out how to add things to panels in KDE4 rc1 yet, so not really eager for it. :) (help is welcome, though) | 08:41 |
| sigma_ | why can't k3b burn multisession dvd-rw's on lg dvd writers? | 08:43 |
| sigma_ | it keeps telling me some incremental streaming method is not available | 08:43 |
| Lynoure | I have an LG writer but I have not had need to try multisession dvd-rw yet... | 08:44 |
| === posingaspopula is now known as posingaspopular | ||
| sigma_ | lynoure: it don't work and i dont know why, i like multisession because i used it in windows to do my backups quickly | 08:44 |
| Lynoure | sigma_: you mean you have already gotten some other people to verify it does not work for them either? | 08:45 |
| sigma_ | lynoure: nope but i tried it on both my pc's - one intel and one amd will totally diff hardware but the same dvd-rw drive and it doesnt work | 08:46 |
| Lynoure | sigma_: it's still possible you are missing some software on both, but you could check Launchpad for that, and maybe report a bug | 08:48 |
| sigma_ | ok i see but can they fix k3b? | 08:48 |
| Lynoure | the exact error message would help, too. As I cannot test with dvd-rw now (none of them around right now) | 08:48 |
| Lynoure | They can delegate bug reports, and it being open source, yes, fixing is possible, too. | 08:49 |
| sigma_ | does anyone know how to change the phpmyadmin password manually? | 08:58 |

| hangthedj | wiggy, the installation should let you choose your language though. | 09:41 |
| Cicci0 | jpatrick: I need it cause I'd like to have online control on removable media (for work purpose) | 09:42 |
| wiggy | I said that I choose french during the installation hangthedj | 09:42 |
| hangthedj | weird. | 09:42 |

| jpatrick | Cicci0: sorry, I can't help you there :( | 09:43 |
| wiggy | how to do it ? | 09:43 |
| jpatrick | wiggy: type "sudo apt-get install language-pack-kde-fr" into the konsole | 09:43 |
| jpatrick | Cicci0: unless you look for the logs in /var/logs | 09:44 |
| wiggy | thanks | 09:44 |
| jpatrick | wiggy: and afterwards it should appear under Languages in system settings | 09:45 |

| _DT | onishidato: open a terminal window. type sudo killall synaptic | 10:48 |

| WaltzingAlong | !info kmilo | ilor, perhaps this software? | 11:00 |
| ubotu | ilor, perhaps this software?: kmilo: laptop special keys support for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 66 kB, installed size 240 kB | 11:00 |
| ilor | I seem to have it already installed | 11:01 |
| hangthedj | kmilo is a peice of crap | 11:01 |
| WaltzingAlong | ilor: yeah it probably is. which keys did you want? | 11:01 |
| ilor | I want brightness and volume | 11:01 |
| ilor | the rest I dont care | 11:01 |
| ilor | the panel-light-off key works | 11:02 |
| JackWinter | which screen capture program do you guys prefer. i might lean to recordmydesktop since it's in the repo and has a kde frontend? | 11:03 |
| ilor | and the volume "kind of" works - it goes form 0% to 11% only and doesn't actually affect the colume | 11:03 |
| WaltzingAlong | !fn | 11:03 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fn - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 11:03 |
| hangthedj | ilor, what kind of computer do you have? | 11:03 |
| ilor | asus f3jp | 11:03 |
| hangthedj | if your having the 11% bug, kmilo won't work with your computer | 11:04 |
| hangthedj | it only recognizes, the master channel so if your first channel is like pcm, it wont work. | 11:04 |
| ilor | what should I do then? | 11:04 |
| hangthedj | or front | 11:05 |
| hangthedj | uninstall it, and map your keys using the kmix global keyboard shortcuts | 11:05 |
| hangthedj | there will be no osd, but it will control your volume | 11:05 |
| hangthedj | big reason why i use kubuntu for my desktop and ubuntu for my laptop | 11:06 |

| Raizard | i used this command | 12:32 |
| dyson2 | aight | 12:32 |
| dyson2 | so sum1 feel like helping me install compiz? | 12:32 |
| jpatrick | !compiz | dyson2 | 12:33 |
| ubotu | dyson2: 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 | 12:33 |
| dyson2 | been there | 12:33 |
| Lynoure | Raizard: that just loads the module, it does not necessarily start the web service. Could you tell me what instructions you followed so far? | 12:33 |
| Raizard | Lynoure: i do exactly this | 12:34 |
| Lynoure | (I normally steer clear of wifi that requires closed source drivers, so I really don't know what howto people use) | 12:34 |
| Raizard | Lynoure: i MUST use this drivers | 12:34 |
| Raizard | Lynoure: it's the only way i have to reach the web | 12:35 |
| Lynoure | Raizard: sudo dldrconfig --webconf=127.0.0.1:18020 should start it | 12:35 |
| Lynoure | Raizard: what's the wifi card you are using? | 12:35 |
| dyson2 | thing is, when i `compiz --replace` i get the login screen, and when logging in it loads kdm again | 12:35 |
| ciperlone | ey | 12:35 |
| Raizard | Lynoure: D-Link DWL G-132 | 12:36 |
| Raizard | Lynoure: in ubuntu works, in other KD Environments work | 12:36 |
| Raizard | Lynoure:in Kubuntu doesn't work | 12:36 |
| Raizard | Lynoure: now i try with the command you tell me | 12:37 |
| Raizard | Lynoure: and then came back | 12:37 |
| Raizard | Lynoure: to let you know | 12:37 |
| dyson2 | compiz on kubuntu | 12:45 |
| dyson2 | be a man | 12:45 |
| Pilot | I need to install JRE. Is it best to use the .bin file from sun, or use a package through Adept? And if through Adept, the architecture dependant (75MB) or the architecture independant (14MB) | 12:46 |
| dyson2 | Kubuntu 7.10 & compiz? followed numerous online guides. can i get some help from sum1 who knows something? | 12:48 |
| Lynoure | Pilot: I ended up using the one from Sun, but I have not really done comparative research, just at the point when I did it Eclipse seemed happier that way | 12:49 |
| Lynoure | Pilot: But of course Ubuntu packages are easier to upgrade. | 12:49 |
| ksal | dyson2: what's the problem? | 12:51 |
| Pilot | ok thansk. | 12:51 |
| dyson2 | well i THINK xorg dies | 12:52 |
| dyson2 | when i do a 'compiz --replace' | 12:52 |
| ksal | dyson2: are you sure that x crashes? | 12:53 |
| dyson2 | well i get the login screen again | 12:54 |
| Pilot | So I tried to install jre through adept and it crashed... lol | 12:54 |
| ksal | dyson2: kde? what graphic card you have? | 12:54 |
| ksal | have you installed restricted drivers? | 12:54 |
| === thomas_ is now known as Werzi2001 | ||
| dyson2 | i thought i was supposed to NOT install the restricted drivers | 12:55 |
| dyson2 | the drivers i have are from the nvidia site | 12:55 |
| dyson2 | followed some guid | 12:55 |
| dyson2 | guide | 12:55 |
| dyson2 | (thought the restricted drivers = nvidia-glx package, yes? i`m not using those.) | 12:56 |
| ksal | dyson2: you should'nt install drivers from nvidia or ati sites | 12:56 |
| dyson2 | nvidia 7-series card | 12:56 |
| ksal | they can do a mess in your system | 12:56 |
| dyson2 | so i revert back to the nvidia-glx drivers? | 12:56 |
| dyson2 | 3d works fine though, i can play games and my openGL screensavers work | 12:57 |
| dyson2 | how do i get the output from 'compiz --replace' into a text file ? | 12:57 |
| dyson2 | can i run it from a different login? | 12:57 |
| Lynoure | dyson2: compiz --replace >> compiz.txt should probably be enough | 12:58 |
| dyson2 | brb | 12:58 |
| ksal | dyson2: kubuntu should propose you to install restricted drivers from the repo | 12:59 |
| ksal | i had this with my card | 12:59 |
| liyongning | 大家好 | 12:59 |
| dyson2 | this is even thought the compiz site tells me different | 12:59 |
| dyson2 | http://compiz.org/NVidia | 12:59 |
| dyson2 | ? | 12:59 |
| ksal | in control center, on advanced tab you have a manager for that. | 12:59 |
| ksal | oh, yeah? strange, i never heard that | 12:59 |
| ksal | dyson2: i have gf4, restricted drivers from repo and everything works well | 13:00 |
| ksal | however, i don't enable compiz, to slow machine for that ;) | 13:00 |
| dyson2 | ok, reverted drivers | 13:01 |
| dyson2 | lets have a reboot | 13:01 |
| dyson2 | and i`ll get back to you | 13:01 |
| dyson2 | thanks so far | 13:01 |
| WaltzingAlong | !nvidia | 13:01 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 13:01 |
| ksal | WaltzingAlong: too late :p | 13:01 |
| ksal | i hope it won't crash his sys :p | 13:02 |
| Pilot | So I tried to install JRE through adept and it crashed. Now trying to reload it says another app is using it. If I click Yes to the prompt, adept crashes again. Aside from rebooting, is there another way to fix this? ps aux doesnt seem to show any processes | 13:08 |

| chillmann | hi there | 13:33 |
| chillmann | I' | 13:33 |
| ciperlone | yey | 13:34 |
| chillmann | I've got a problem with my Alt-Tab and Alt-F5 behaviour in KDE. Alt+Something seems to work only on the desktop but not when an application has the focus. any idea? | 13:34 |
| chillmann | actually this is also true for alt-F4 etc.. | 13:35 |
| ciperlone | fif you check on the kde shortcuts? | 13:36 |
| chillmann | xev shows Alt key is definetely working and I can also assign Alt-Tab to "cycle through windows" in KDE system settings. however, as soon as an application has the focus, it's not working | 13:36 |
| chillmann | ciperlone: yep, those are set up correctly | 13:36 |
| Pilot | Can anyone help me figure out why Firefox doesnt want to use my installed jre6? Installed both via adept and via Sun's .bin download. | 13:36 |
| ciperlone | are you using compiz ou beryl? | 13:36 |
| ciperlone | ore none of them? | 13:37 |
| chillmann | ciperlone: actually I think I'm using Kwin. I just upgraded to gutsy. | 13:37 |
| ciperlone | hmm | 13:37 |
| chillmann | ciperlone: yes, KWin | 13:37 |
| ciperlone | because if you are using compiz, it takes control of default kde shortcuts | 13:37 |
| ciperlone | i'm sorry, i cannot help you | 13:38 |
| ciperlone | unless you expecify the problem | 13:38 |
| ciperlone | but i cannot promisse anything | 13:38 |
| === emilsedgh_ is now known as emilsedgh | ||
| chillmann | ciperlone: I just double-checked. Definitely no compiz. It's not even installed | 13:38 |
| chillmann | it's quite funny that it's only not working from the apps | 13:39 |
| chillmann | but it's working on the desktop | 13:39 |
| ciperlone | WHICH apps? | 13:40 |
| chillmann | all | 13:40 |
| chillmann | like when an application window has the focus, alt-f5 does nothing | 13:40 |
| ciperlone | r u using kde? | 13:40 |
| chillmann | yes | 13:40 |
| chillmann | when on a desktop without any windows, alt-f5 shoes me a nice list of all windows in my KDE environment sorted by desktop | 13:41 |
| chillmann | as it should be... | 13:41 |
| ciperlone | did you double check everything in the kde shortcut area? | 13:41 |
| chillmann | yep | 13:41 |
| chillmann | the shortcuts are fine in general | 13:42 |
| chillmann | the problem is that the system wide shortcuts are ignored in application windows | 13:42 |
| chillmann | they only work when the desktop has the focus | 13:42 |
| ciperlone | that's strange... | 13:42 |
| Lynoure | chillmann: have you always had that problem, or did it start after one change or another? | 13:42 |
| chillmann | Lynoure: it started after my upgrade to gutsy | 13:42 |
| ciperlone | mayke an sudo aptitude update will solve the problem | 13:43 |
| chillmann | ciperlone: all packages are up to date | 13:43 |
| ciperlone | well, i'm sorry but i cannot help. if i was a dev I will ask you to type some commands in the terminal, but since i'm not... | 13:44 |
| chillmann | ciperlone: thanks anyway | 13:45 |
| ciperlone | you're welcome :) | 13:46 |

| llutz | Norgur: then "Layout" and "Variant" | 13:49 |
| somekool | hello, my french-canadian keybaord works in X, but not in KDE ??? Why would that be ??? | 13:50 |
| somekool | I do setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout ca -variant fr and it works in any WM but KDE .... I cannot believe this ... | 13:50 |
| Lynoure | somekool: do you have it similarly set up in the kde settings? | 13:50 |
| somekool | yes | 13:51 |
| somekool | I can do some accent but not all | 13:51 |

| asktoby_ | I note that gspca-source, the driver for my webcam, is in the repositories. | 14:41 |
| asktoby_ | If I install it from there, how would I go about building it? | 14:41 |
| asktoby_ | What is the benefit over just downloading the tarball from the dev's website? | 14:41 |
| yaccin_ | how can i use wpa in kubuntu/kde when it worked un ubuntu/gnome? | 14:43 |
| emilsedgh | asktoby_: you should compile it of you het the source.to compile it you need hundreds of -devel packages that have nothing for you | 14:44 |

| Hizzle | Do I need to format c: myself if I am to switch vista with kubuntu or is there a way I can do that with the cd? | 15:05 |
| Hizzle | c: = harddrive | 15:05 |
| Radi01 | Hizzle: if all you are installing is ubuntu/chose full partition on installation. | 15:06 |
| asktoby_ | emilsedgh: I understand that I will need to compile it - I guess my question is what is the benefit of installing source via apt rather than downloading a tarball? | 15:06 |
| Hizzle | hmm dont remember seeing that option on bootup | 15:07 |
| Radi01 | Will it be the only o/s on the drive? | 15:07 |
| Hizzle | ya | 15:07 |
| Radi01 | Then when you get to partition click (manual/full) it will do the whole drive automatically/easy as pie. | 15:08 |
| Hizzle | now the install update cd is that a cd I have to provide or is that something I can get offline? Just curious | 15:09 |
| Radi01 | do the install od o/s first the rest can be done online. | 15:10 |

| Hamra | hi, in display manager, when i press the test button, if everything went ok, what am i supposed to see? what happens? coz im not sure if things are right with me. | 15:53 |
| sparr_ | many hard drives used to store particular types of files. one for music, one for movies, etc. I want to access their contents (nice directory hierarchies) as if they were subdirectories of one location. I tried symlinks, but they fail when relative paths go above the symlinked structure. Is there any better way short of actually mounting the driives where I want to access them? | 15:55 |
| jhutchins | sparr_: Why wouldn't you do exactly that? | 15:56 |
| sparr_ | jhutchins: because mounting things at random points in the filesystem seems like bad form, especially when they are already mounted elsewhere. also because it would require moving things to the top level of the drives, instead of having the same base hierarchy on some of them | 15:57 |
| jhutchins | Ok, so you need to effectively mount a subdirectory of the drive in a filesystem. | 15:58 |
| jhutchins | sparr_: Read up on the docs for the mount command, this can be done. | 15:58 |
| sparr_ | mount --bind ? | 15:58 |
| sparr_ | also, it will pollute my mtab | 15:59 |

| sparr_ | Hamra: mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /media/iso | 16:00 |
| sparr_ | after mkdir /media/iso | 16:00 |

| Lynoure | yaccin: Sometimes you need to break a little to fix a little, try commenting at least eth1 out, and restarting networkmanager (or just rebooting). If it does not help, you can easily uncomment them again | 16:27 |
| yaccin | but i want to easily switch between wireless and wired network :/ | 16:27 |
| jembouge | remotechief_311: link to trash is "trash:/" :) | 16:27 |

| SoulChild | HI ALL! How must i configure grub to load vista from my extended device /dev/sda5 ??? | 17:41 |
| sigma_ | how do i share a gprs internet connection in kubuntu? from my pc to others on the network | 17:41 |
| maduser | vista as defult? | 17:41 |
| sigma_ | windows had a simple sharing dialog, don't see that anywhere in kubuntu | 17:42 |
| jhutchins | MementoMori: RedHat made it a standard to have each user be primarily a member of his own group. Other systems have them be members of "users" or something like that. Many programs use groups for cross-program access (ie a program running as a member of the apache group has access to web pages). | 17:42 |
| jhutchins | MementoMori: There are also "traditional" groups that are holdovers from multi-user Unix mainframes. They're all included so that programs will be more portable. | 17:43 |
| Marchese | ciao | 17:43 |
| jhutchins | MementoMori: Usually system groups will have a GID of less than 500. | 17:43 |
| jhutchins | MementoMori: Depending on the system, for some it's 100, for others 1000. | 17:43 |
| warren_ | hello | 17:44 |
| warren_ | i need some help | 17:44 |
| trillis | Hey everyone... | 17:44 |
| trillis | Haha, me too. | 17:44 |
| warren_ | i installed wine from source but it was buggy | 17:44 |
| stdin | sigma_: the way I did it a while ago was to install firestarter and use that to set it up | 17:44 |
| warren_ | and now i would like to remove itr | 17:44 |
| warren_ | but | 17:44 |
| warren_ | i don't have the source anymore, i removed manually files | 17:44 |
| Radi01 | hey trillis how did kopete work out. | 17:44 |
| trillis | sux0rz. | 17:44 |
| Radi01 | oi | 17:44 |
| sigma_ | warren: use the ubuntu deb if you want to install wine | 17:44 |
| warren_ | and now when installing a deb package of it it doesn't work | 17:44 |
| trillis | Couldn't get it to load the AIM info, got everything else to work though. | 17:45 |
| warren_ | yeah i know | 17:45 |
| warren_ | but i didn't do it | 17:45 |
| sigma_ | stdin: is firestarter available in the ubuntu repo's? | 17:45 |
| Radi01 | Interesting. | 17:45 |
| stdin | sigma_: yeah | 17:45 |
| trillis | Hey stdin: Is there a way to make mplayer not have the white sides when watching a widescreen movie? | 17:45 |
| MementoMori | jhutchins: the info I'm looking for is: a user in the x group can do this this and this, a user in the y group can do this and that | 17:46 |
| stdin | trillis: never seen that, shows a black border for me | 17:46 |
| Radi01 | trillis: vlc does the rest do not. | 17:46 |
| trillis | :( | 17:46 |
| trillis | I have an ati graphics card, could that be the problem? | 17:46 |
| Radi01 | mozilla vlc plugin | 17:46 |
| jhutchins | MementoMori: Linux can also use acl's. | 17:46 |
| stdin | trillis: you can try using the "-aspect" and "-monitoraspect" options | 17:46 |
| Radi01 | no | 17:46 |
| trillis | sudo apt-get install vlc-mozzila-plugin? | 17:46 |
| Radi01 | ya | 17:46 |
| Radi01 | i tried aspect..dont work | 17:46 |
| Radi01 | aspect also screwed up x.. | 17:47 |
| stdin | trillis: it's best to remove mozilla-mplayer before installing another plugin | 17:47 |
| MementoMori | jhutchins: for example: the first user created in the gusty installation is in admin and adm groups. What privileges gives adm to me? | 17:47 |
| sigma_ | stdin: thanks il take a look, hope it works! i think that should be a applet in kubuntu that caters for file-sharing | 17:47 |
| jhutchins | Radi01: The options on mplayer are pretty complex (and very extensive), but just switching to vlc might be easier. | 17:47 |
| Radi01 | good point..sry | 17:47 |
| jhutchins | MementoMori: For one thing the ability to use sudo. | 17:48 |
| Radi01 | exactly | 17:48 |
| trillis | k... | 17:48 |
| stdin | sigma_: there is an applet for file sharing | 17:48 |
| trillis | So.. sudo apt-get uninstall mplayer? | 17:48 |
| jhutchins | MementoMori: In other distros that might be configured for the group "wheel". | 17:48 |
| sigma_ | stdin: but it doesn't cater for internet sharing or does it? | 17:48 |
| stdin | trillis: mozilla-mplayer | 17:48 |
| trillis | k | 17:48 |
| MementoMori | jhutchins: but for the use of sudo I have to be in the admin group not in adm | 17:48 |
| stdin | sigma_: internet connection sharing isn't the same as file sharing | 17:48 |
| jhutchins | MementoMori: Thousands of programs, millions of programmers, a hundred different ways to do just about anything. | 17:49 |
| MementoMori | $ sudo grep "%adm" /etc/sudoers | 17:49 |
| MementoMori | %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL | 17:49 |
| stdin | sigma_: to share your internet connection you need to change/create some iptables rules, firestarter is a nice GUI for it | 17:49 |
| trillis | uninstall doesn't seem to be a command... | 17:49 |
| stdin | trillis: remove :) | 17:50 |
| Radi01 | I dont know the -r command | 17:50 |
| sigma_ | stdin: ya i read about the iptables stuff, didn't have a clue what those guys were going on about | 17:50 |
| trillis | heheh | 17:50 |
| MementoMori | jhutchins: ok but maybe I should check the LSB doc for a stardard view about groups... | 17:50 |
| MementoMori | shouldnt I? | 17:50 |
| stdin | sigma_: it's all extremely complicated :p | 17:50 |
| trillis | stdin: You should rename to 'God". | 17:50 |

| |TroubleMaker| | when partitioning a slave drive from the command line the command should look like: "$ parted -i hdb mkpart primary ext2 0 4000" right? for aprox 4 gig ext 2 partition???? or should i use another command? | 18:06 |
| rick_ | there is no monitor and display under settings | 18:07 |
| Radi01 | U have kde? | 18:07 |
| jalbert | whenever I load a website that has a Flash applet embedded, my keyboard stops working | 18:07 |
| ubuntu | need help with Kubuntu pendrive making settings persistent, any takers?? | 18:07 |
| rick_ | I'm using the kde version of ubunto. Does that matter? | 18:07 |
| stdin | |TroubleMaker|: you can use qtparted for a GUI | 18:07 |
| nosrednaekim | rick_: make sure you have the package "kubuntu-desktop" and all of its dependencies | 18:07 |
| Radi01 | it should be there | 18:07 |
| rick_ | can it be installed as a package? | 18:08 |
| trillis | Radi01: Heheh, you have an icon for sale? | 18:08 |
| Radi01 | ya lol | 18:08 |
| |TroubleMaker| | stdin, *sigh* yes i know but this is for my linux class and im looking to verify i understood the man page right..... we are supposed to be working from CLI but i dont have a second drive to mess with. | 18:08 |

| ubuntu | How to I ge the pen drive to list the kernels, It always goes straight into the live mode where I can't save any settings. | 18:09 |
| nosrednaekim | ubuntu: never done a persistent, but as soon as the bios exits hit "esc" until you see the grub kernel list (or boot up starts, which it shouldn;t) | 18:11 |
| rick_ | nos_ how do I install or know if the kubuntu-desktop is installed? | 18:11 |

| stdin | Cem_UNAL: and why in the world are you upgrading to 8.04 ? | 18:12 |
| Cem_UNAL | stdin: tx | 18:12 |
| |TroubleMaker| | its a online class | 18:12 |
| jobbe | hey, is there a nice way to tell the display manager (in my case kdm) to use a different Xorg server than the one installed by kubuntu? I compiled a more recent version which lives in /opt/xorg/bin | 18:12 |
| nosrednaekim | rick_: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" | 18:13 |
| stdin | |TroubleMaker|: a small usb pen drive would work just as well (if you have one), adjusting the size ofcourse | 18:13 |
| ubuntu | it stop and I get the options f1 -f10 and if I pick anything like rescue mode, it can't find the kernel. IT does the memtest alright. Maybe I need to take a close look at the grub.conf | 18:13 |
| trillis | sudo apt-get remove hardrive? :-D | 18:14 |
| nosrednaekim | ubuntu: yeah, probably. | 18:14 |
| |TroubleMaker| | stdin, good idea maybe i can lay hands on one later today =) | 18:14 |
| Cem_UNAL | stdin: curiosity :) | 18:14 |

| Kachna | hi,what's the easiest(fastest to set-up) ftp server available? :P | 20:02 |
| nado | katchna: proftpd | 20:02 |
| jhutchins | Kachna: Standard warning: running an FTP server is the best way to get hacked, even if you know what you're doing. | 20:02 |
| jhutchins | Kachna: proftpd or vsftpd | 20:03 |
| Kachna | nado: thx,will try | 20:03 |
| nado | Kachna: make sure to install gproftpd plugin | 20:03 |
| Kachna | jhutchins: well,i need it just for a while...:-) | 20:03 |
| nado | its the gui | 20:03 |

| Kachna | jhutchins: yep,i use scp usually,but now i want one guy to upload some stuff to me,so i think ftp is the easiest way for both :-) | 20:04 |

| podr0znik | just curious - I tried to upgrade yesterday to 7.10 and experienced some problems, am I the only one? :) | 21:04 |
| BluesKaj | well michael_ , that pretty well exhaust my knowledge and ability to solve your problem ...can anyone else help with some suggestions ? | 21:04 |
| michael_ | thank you BluesKaj | 21:05 |
| BluesKaj | podr0znik, FYI , I tried to use the adept upgrader but the repos connection failed 3 times , so i just did a regular clean install | 21:06 |
| BluesKaj | sorry I couldn't do more , michael_ :( | 21:06 |
| Sunriseboy | Hello everyone! | 21:06 |
| === Zoo2 is now known as Megiddo | ||
| podr0znik | BluesKaj, during downloading/installing I had a REAL system jam, you know, such events which belong more to Windows | 21:07 |
| michael_ | :o) | 21:08 |
| podr0znik | I tried later a clean install and got again errors, KDE didn't want to switch to admin mode, and sth more what I forgot already. | 21:08 |
| podr0znik | For now I returned to 7.04 which was good anyway ;) | 21:09 |
| BluesKaj | 7.04 is a fine OS , IMO :) | 21:09 |
| michael_ | its strange, I have not been able to get my sound working since edgy. Dapper and older works fine | 21:10 |
| podr0znik | Now I have sth else - I put in a DVD with all documents, but it's not automatically mounting/opening. Actually I cannot even find the contents of the disc. But when I start the burning program it says "Documents (Complete Data DVD-R)" | 21:10 |
| BluesKaj | which soundcard michael_ ? | 21:10 |
| michael_ | Audigy | 21:10 |
| podr0znik | do I have to mount it now manually (and if yes, with which command, because I'm not of the Linux command line generation)? | 21:10 |
| michael_ | all other distros (that I have tried) work fine as well | 21:11 |
| kyled185 | michael_, I wouldn't know how to fix it, but I had an audigy and I had to enable digital out or some other option | 21:11 |
| michael_ | ooo, I'll try that | 21:11 |
| BluesKaj | michael_, maybe your audigy audio drivewrs need upgrading | 21:11 |
| michael_ | I seen that somewhere | 21:12 |
| BluesKaj | err drivers | 21:12 |
| michael_ | got ya blues :o) | 21:12 |
| crimsun | michael_: download http://trilug.org/~crimsun/alsa-info.sh, run it using bash, and tell me the url. | 21:13 |
| kyled185 | michael_, yeah, just one by one enable options and see if anything makes it works (you might have to unmute and/or adjust some volume stuff) | 21:13 |
| BluesKaj | kyled185, we went thru that routine | 21:14 |
| michael_ | where do I search for bash? | 21:14 |
| kyled185 | BluesKaj, oh ok well then I wouldn't be of any more help | 21:14 |
| crimsun | michael_: you have bash already. I meant, bash /path/to/where/you/downloaded/the/script | 21:15 |
| michael_ | ha, sorry I'm a noob | 21:15 |
| martinw | When I first ran KDE it gave me a wizard and told me where to find the wizard again. But now I can't find the wizard again. Where is it? | 21:15 |

| michael_ | got ya | 21:18 |
| crimsun | michael_: where did you save the script? On your Desktop? | 21:18 |
| BluesKaj | michael_, run it in the terminal by cd to the downloaded script | 21:18 |
| michael_ | hmmm, there wasnot script | 21:18 |
| michael_ | when I clicked on the link it wanted a program picked from a list to run something | 21:19 |
| crimsun | likely Kate/editor? | 21:19 |
| crimsun | instead of choosing that option, just choose to save it. | 21:19 |
| BluesKaj | crimsun, what's the script do ? | 21:20 |
| michael_ | ok | 21:20 |
| crimsun | BluesKaj: grabs /proc/asound/* info and amixer output | 21:20 |

| PeterPan_ | Radi01: i have firestarter installed. but its not asking my to allow or disallow the apps..................... | 21:45 |
| Dr_Willis | If this is a new install - i would gues s that the warnings are just being over-protective-cautious. | 21:45 |
| vladdracus | Dr, well I have a "friend" hwo I'm starting to get suspicious of. maybe I'm being paranoid but he really knows a lot about linux and I dont so... | 21:45 |
| Dr_Willis | PeterPan_ you expecting the firewall to pop up and ask - like windows does? Not sure any of the firewalling tools for linux do that. | 21:45 |
| michael_ | the file name is just script | 21:45 |
| vladdracus | ..just being cautious | 21:46 |
| michael_ | should there be a .xx | 21:46 |
| PeterPan_ | Dr_Willis: then what does it do | 21:46 |
| vsudilov | vladdracus : if he doesn't have your password, he can't really do much | 21:46 |
| Dr_Willis | PeterPan_ it configures the iptables rules. plain and simple. Windows firewalling - is more of a 'personal' firewall i guess you can say. | 21:46 |
| michael_ | its telling me bad file name | 21:46 |
| Dr_Willis | PeterPan_ i dont een worry about firewalls under linux. :) of coruse my router blocks most garbage | 21:47 |
| Dr_Willis | michael_ you did make the script excecutable with 'chmod +x scriptname' ? | 21:47 |
| vladdracus | vsudilov, good...he is a good friend but maybe I'm being too cautious | 21:47 |
| michael_ | sorry, it said no such directory | 21:47 |
| PeterPan_ | Dr_Willis: will it auto block suspercious apps or a hacker. portscaning etc | 21:47 |
| Dr_Willis | michael_ you did a typo or somthing basic wrong is my guess. | 21:47 |

| ubotu | LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 21:54 |
| Dr_Willis | joey722 its apache2 I think for the package name | 21:54 |
| Dodger73 | but mainly the performance tells me it's not turned on | 21:54 |
| Dr_Willis | !find apache | 21:54 |
| ubotu | Found: apache2, apache2-doc, apache2-mpm-event, apache2-mpm-perchild, apache2-mpm-prefork (and 120 others) | 21:54 |
| purpleposeidon | joey722: sudo apt-get install apache2 | 21:55 |
| Dr_Willis | Dodger73 cant really help ya much. Ive not experienced the issue. be intereesting to test with hdparm -Tt /dev/whatever from your install.. and from various live cd's | 21:55 |

| vsudilov | Hey anyone know of a script out there that does the following: Checks external IP address periodically, if its different from your old IP (ie it has changed), send an email to some email address with the new IP address | 22:05 |

| PeterPan_ | does any one know a gui to iptabes firewall that auto asks for each connection and app to permit or not. and then makes that rule for future. ? and does not allow any other connection or app unless permited.? | 22:08 |
| sstchur | I can't seem to apt-get install anything these days -- I keep getting errors regarding kde-icons-oxygen and kdebase-runtime-data. Anyone know what that is about? | 22:09 |
| twylight | guys | 22:09 |
| twylight | what was that doom clone with the doom 2 content? | 22:09 |
| Dr_Willis | PeterPan_ never seen such a thing under linux. given the security methods linux uses. Id be suprised if such an app exists. Good luck googling for that. :) let us know what you find. | 22:09 |
| vsudilov | PeterPan, are you thinking of LittleSnitch for Mac OSX? | 22:09 |
| kyled185 | sstchur, did you try to install KDE 4 stuff? | 22:10 |
| sstchur | kyled185: yes | 22:10 |
| PeterPan_ | k | 22:10 |
| sstchur | kyled185: I got KDE4 running and it worked okay, but I'm not using it at the moment | 22:10 |
| sstchur | kyled185: I set it up to be an option to select it when I log in | 22:11 |
| michael_ | ok, I need a break guys | 22:11 |
| Dr_Willis | Linux firewall uses ports rather than executables to allow or deny connections. So if you allow Epiphany Firefox will be able to go as well since they both run on the same port. | 22:11 |
| PeterPan_ | vsudilov: i use kubuntu | 22:11 |
| michael_ | thank you for your help | 22:11 |
| michael_ | I will return after a while | 22:11 |
| kyled185 | sstchur, I had a similar problem when I tried to update it to the RC | 22:11 |
| vsudilov | PetePan_ Yeah I figure, but it sounds 100% like an application for Mac OSX called LittleSnitch | 22:11 |
| === PeterPan_ is now known as PeterPan | ||
| michael_ | thank you for your help | 22:12 |
| vsudilov | ...Which is really really cool | 22:12 |
| sstchur | kyled185: what is the solution? do you know? | 22:12 |
| PeterPan | vsudilov: or most apps of windows do this | 22:12 |
| kyled185 | sstchur, you've gotta remove the beta stuff, I used aptitude, but it was a while ago and I can't quite remember what the solution was | 22:12 |
| PeterPan | vsudilov: right? | 22:13 |
| vsudilov | PeterPan_ I'm not up to date with whats going on with windows... | 22:13 |
| kyled185 | sstchur, for example it said that kde-oxygen was trying to modify a file, but $somekde4package was using it | 22:14 |
| kyled185 | sstchur, so I removed that $somekde4package | 22:14 |
| PeterPan | k | 22:14 |
| kyled185 | sstchur, actually, I haven't rebooted yet so ymmv | 22:15 |
| Radi01 | sudo dpkg --configure -a worked for me. | 22:16 |
| sstchur | kyled185: ymmv? | 22:17 |
| sivananda | Anyone here at all who's familiar with the ProjectM music visualizer? | 22:17 |
| kyled185 | your mileage may vary | 22:17 |
| Dr_Willis | PeterPan doing some googling on this. and as far as i can tell iptables just blocks based on ports. so if you want to block MSN which uses port 1863 - a iptales entry to blockit would be --> /sbin/iptables -t mangle -A PREROUTING -s $IP -p tcp --dport 1863 -j REJECT | 22:18 |
| kyled185 | - it worked for me no guarantees it'll work for you | 22:18 |
| BluesKaj | Dr_Willis, could you explain what the purpose of chmod +x filename is, previous to the install ? | 22:19 |
| Dr_Willis | PeterPan http://www.linuxtopia.org/Linux_Firewall_iptables/x499.html has a lot of really hard core info on the filtering. | 22:19 |
| Dr_Willis | BluesKaj it makjes the thing executable | 22:19 |
| Dr_Willis | othereise you cant run it witn ./whatever | 22:19 |
| BluesKaj | ok, thx , so it's the same choosing the make exectable box in properties | 22:20 |
| PeterPan | Dr_Willis: where can i get one. i dont wana add a deny rule for each manualy. i want it to ask when observing any active connection or request................. | 22:20 |
| BluesKaj | err the same as | 22:20 |
| PeterPan | thx | 22:22 |
| Dr_Willis | PeterPan dont think thats going to happen. reading that site now and i see iptables can filter based on owner. but i see no thing on a specific executable name. | 22:22 |
| PeterPan | k | 22:22 |
| Dr_Willis | and as for 'asking' that opens up a whole other set of problems that could spring up. :) | 22:23 |
| sivananda | PeterPan: It sounds like you're looking for something that works similar to zonealarm on windoze. Nothin' like that in linux AFAIK | 22:23 |
| BluesKaj | !antivirus | 22:24 |
| ubotu | antivirus is something you don't really need on Linux, unless you serve windows clients. ClamAV and aegis are decent linux virusscanners. Also see !linuxvirus | 22:24 |
| BluesKaj | !linuxvirus | 22:24 |
| ubotu | The short life and hard times of a Linux Virus http://librenix.com/?inode=21 | 22:24 |
| PeterPan | sivananda: yes | 22:24 |
| sstchur | how do i remove kde4? | 22:25 |
| PeterPan | Dr_Willis: sivananda then how does a firewall work . eg. a hacker comes and attack or allowed ports. how will i know some thing ingenuine is happening. or a malicous app (very rare) uses the allowed port 80 ? | 22:25 |
| vzduch | sstchur: how did you install it? | 22:25 |
| sstchur | vzduch: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php | 22:25 |
| vzduch | PeterPan: that's what log files are for | 22:25 |
| sstchur | vzduch: but trying to run apt-get remove [ kde packages ] doesn't seem to work | 22:25 |
| PeterPan | vzduch: who will tel me to be alert and watch log files | 22:26 |
| sstchur | vzduch: it complains about "unmet dependencies" -- I guess I need some way to revert back | 22:26 |
| sstchur | vzduch: I actually can't apt-get install or remove anything right now -- everything fails | 22:26 |
| vzduch | !aptfix | sstchur | 22:27 |
| ubotu | sstchur: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 22:27 |
| Dr_Willis | PeterPan iptables blocks specific data based on specific rules.. You set up rules to block what you consider bad. its only windows and its 'firewall' that has peole thinking its sdesigned to block malicious apps. ITS actually designed to stop Malicious packets. | 22:27 |
| sivananda | PeterPan: as I understand it, linux generally adopts a philosophy that is diametrically opposite of windoze. Whereas windoze has an 'every port open' approach, and you must choose to close individual ones, linux is the opposite. It has an 'everything closed' approach, and you must choose what you want open... | 22:27 |
| sstchur | vzduch: I don't think that's the issue exactly. The commands run, but if I try to install anything, it complains about unmet dependencies no matter what | 22:28 |
| Dr_Willis | PeterPan the proper ip tables rules can detect a port flood or scan or other bad things and block the incoming packets. and log them . If you set it up that way. | 22:28 |
| sstchur | vzduch: but i can try it | 22:28 |
| * Dr_Willis agrees with sivananda linux and windows do it from different 'approaches' | 22:28 | |
| sstchur | vzduch: it tells me to run "apt-get -f install", but when I do, that fails too | 22:29 |
| PeterPan | Dr_Willis: well then how to set up proper iptable rules then? | 22:29 |
| Dr_Willis | http://www.linuxtopia.org/Linux_Firewall_iptables/index.html - has some really neat info.. | 22:29 |
| Dr_Willis | PeterPan define what you want to do.. create the proper ruleset. :) that url has some examples. | 22:29 |
| Dr_Willis | in 'theory' under linux and proper security - you would have the firewall all set up befor the pc ever gets connected to the internet. | 22:30 |
| vzduch | sstchur: gimme your sources.list in a pastebin | 22:30 |
| sivananda | PeterPan: Altho' it doesn't do anything 'automagically', I would have to say that about the friendliest GUI app i've found for configuring iptables is called Guarddog. It should be available in the repositories... | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Normally the rules would be to block everything.. allow in/out the ports you need. | 22:31 |
| Dr_Willis | Lokkit, an application that walks you through a few simple steps and configures a basic firewall for you. Lokkit is dead easy to use, and requires very little understanding of firewalls to set up, but it provides few options, and it's not a good choice if you want to set up a complex firewall. | 22:33 |
| Dr_Willis | !info lokkit | 22:33 |
| ubotu | lokkit: basic interactive firewall configuration tool (console interface). In component universe, is optional. Version 0.50.22-7.1ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 125 kB, installed size 792 kB | 22:33 |

| Dr_Willis | gotta love it whenyou mess up and make a firewall so strong that you cant do anytying :) | 22:35 |
| sstchur | vzduch: http://pastebin.us/?show=m3479d938 | 22:35 |
| sivananda | lol yea... | 22:36 |
| PeterPan | sivananda: thanks | 22:36 |
| PeterPan | Dr_Willis: thanks | 22:36 |
| vzduch | sstchur: nothing wrong w/ that afaics | 22:36 |
| Radi01 | I did that with zone labs..they emailed me with a paraniod list to un do/ lol | 22:37 |
| vzduch | you might want to uncomment gutsy-backports | 22:37 |
| sivananda | something else to keep in mind, if you're behind a router (such as with a home network), then it very likely already has at least a basic firewall. I for example don't even need iptables on my machine... | 22:37 |
| vzduch | and if you haven't lately, try 'apt-get update' | 22:37 |
| sivananda | PeterPan: np :) | 22:38 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont een use a firewallon the linux box's - Nothing is really attacking them. the router is blocking most garbage. and theres no real spyware/malware ever going to get on them | 22:39 |
| Dr_Willis | You can alwyas use the variput logging features to watch what info is going out.. if you want to see whats happening. | 22:39 |
| Kr4t05 | Are there any ways I can clean up some of the clutter in my / partition? | 22:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Kr4t05 what clutter? | 22:40 |
| Kr4t05 | I've already done "sudo apt-get clean" | 22:40 |
| Dr_Willis | Find clutter.. delete it..:) | 22:41 |
| sivananda | Yep Dr_Willis. Attacks against linux machines are pretty rare (tho' not unknown). There are so many different 'flavors', and they're so highly configurable, that it's difficult to create a network virus that would propagate to any great degree... | 22:41 |
| Kr4t05 | Dr_Willis: Er... That's a bit vague. | 22:41 |
| Dr_Willis | sivananda and most of the attacks are against specific services.. so if its not running. | 22:41 |
| Dr_Willis | Kr4t05 so was your question. :) | 22:41 |
| sivananda | Dr_Willis: indeed | 22:42 |
| Kr4t05 | Hrm... | 22:42 |

| dsmith_ | my kubuntu freezes after I am away from it say +30 mins, I thought it was from the screensaver but i turned that off | 22:59 |
| podr0znik | draik, built it myself | 22:59 |
| draik | Sorry, forgot to close the quote | 22:59 |
| draik | podr0znik: Check your mobo specs. | 22:59 |
| podr0znik | draik, so that's a bit of everything I guess | 22:59 |
| draik | check for faulty mobo drivers and work back towards the OS. | 23:00 |
| PeterPan | where to find deb package for firestorm ? | 23:00 |
| snarkster | hi is there anyway to remove all the gnome crap from kubuntu? | 23:00 |
| draik | The reason I ask is because my friend's Dell had the same issue. I had to clear the CMOS for it to read. | 23:01 |
| draik | snarkster: !purekde | 23:01 |
| snarkster | where do you put that? | 23:01 |
| draik | Whoops | 23:01 |
| draik | !purekde | snarkster | 23:01 |
| ubotu | snarkster: purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 23:01 |
| draik | There you go | 23:01 |
| podr0znik | draik, hm. I only don't understand why I didn't have this problem earlier (I made the DVD's myself, in the same Kubuntu version as I have right now) | 23:01 |
| Dr_Willis | PeterPan given that the firestorm website seems to be dead..you may want to find a different iptables monitoring tool | 23:02 |
| Dr_Willis | !find iptables | 23:02 |
| ubotu | Found: iptables, iptables-dev, arno-iptables-firewall, libiptables-ipv4-ipqueue-perl | 23:02 |
| Dr_Willis | !find fwmon | 23:02 |
| ubotu | Package/file fwmon does not exist in gutsy | 23:02 |

| zeldaII | i've got a question about compiz/kde desktop. I have compiz set to give me window previews when i hover over the taskbar, but kde is having a text bubble pop up as well, that says the name of the program. How do i get that to stop? | 23:03 |
| snarkster | thank you | 23:03 |
| draik | yw | 23:03 |
| snarkster | I will now install kubuntu | 23:03 |
| Dr_Willis | PeterPan if all else fails you could use the soruce and recompile it. | 23:03 |
| PeterPan | Dr_Willis: any other place to find deb package for firestorm and snort? | 23:04 |
| PeterPan | Dr_Willis: ok | 23:04 |
| Dr_Willis | the package managers have searching features for the packages that exist. also theres the alternative/unofficial repos. | 23:04 |
| Dr_Willis | put 'apt:/' in konqueror - is my fave search tool | 23:04 |
| sivananda | !find snort | 23:05 |
| ubotu | Found: airsnort, oinkmaster, snort, snort-common, snort-common-libraries (and 4 others) | 23:05 |
| GradeFPoultry | Can someone answer some questions about QTParted for me? | 23:05 |
| ardchoille | PeterPan: apt-cache search snort | 23:05 |
| draik | !ask | GradeFPoultry | 23:06 |
| ubotu | GradeFPoultry: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 23:06 |
| GradeFPoultry | Haha. | 23:06 |
| bogdan | Dr_Willis: didn't know that.. but when i try searching for something it prompts me to save an HTML file :)) | 23:06 |
| GradeFPoultry | Well, I'm running Kubuntu from a disk right now. I need to create a partition, but keep my windows data intact. | 23:07 |
| draik | !someone | GradeFPoultry | 23:07 |
| ubotu | GradeFPoultry: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? | 23:07 |
| GradeFPoultry | o_O | 23:07 |
| PeterPan | ardchoille: it gives snort. but not firestorm. solarwolf - Collect the boxes and don't become mad | 23:07 |
| sivananda | !info snort | PeterPan | 23:07 |
| ubotu | peterpan: snort: Flexible Network Intrusion Detection System. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.7.0-6 (gutsy), package size 455 kB, installed size 1060 kB | 23:07 |
| draik | ardchoille: Hey there. How are you? | 23:07 |
| kiwi__ | im having an issue with the adept manager, whenever i open the application, a message pops up saying im not able to change my system settings and that it needs special admin root privileges | 23:07 |
| draik | kiwi__: You should be able to provide your own PW and gain the rights to make necessary changes. | 23:08 |
| kiwi__ | i do hav my own pw but whenever i open the adept it doesnt ask for it | 23:08 |
| ardchoille | Hi draik :) | 23:09 |
| draik | kiwi__: What does it ask for? | 23:09 |
| draik | ardchoille: I get 11 days of vacation as of December 22 :) December 22 to January 1 | 23:09 |
| kiwi__ | it doesnt ask for anything just says You will not be able to change your system settings in any way (install, remove or upgrade software), because this application needs special administrator (root) privileges. Please run it as root or through kdesu or sudo programs to be able to perform these actions | 23:10 |
| draik | kiwi__: Do you have a prompt for a password? | 23:11 |
| draik | ardchoille: Yeah Yeah Yeah | 23:11 |
| kiwi__ | no | 23:11 |
| ardchoille | draik: Quite boring, tho | 23:11 |

| draik | ardchoille: Recall my ISP issue? | 23:13 |
| ardchoille | draik: No | 23:13 |
| kiwi__ | draik: it said command adept not found | 23:13 |
| g2g591 | kiwi_:try adept_manager | 23:14 |
| ardchoille | kiwi__: kdesu adept_manager | 23:14 |
| kiwi__ | it opened but i got the same message saying im not able to change my system settings | 23:15 |
| ardchoille | kiwi__: So it prompted yo for the admin passwd? | 23:16 |
| sstchur | what do you do if the status in Adept Updater says "BROKEN (installed)" ? | 23:16 |
| kiwi__ | no it did not | 23:17 |
| g2g591 | sstchur:try right clicking and try to reinstall, but be check in the preview tab what it will try to do | 23:18 |
| ardchoille | kiwi__: Are you able to install/remove things via command line? | 23:19 |
| GrahamA | How would I make Konqueror my default file manager? I don't like Dolphin that much. | 23:19 |
| LjL | !dolphin | GrahamA | 23:20 |
| ubotu | GrahamA: 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. | 23:20 |
| ardchoille | !dolphin | GrahamA | 23:20 |
| kiwi__ | i dont think so, i hardly use the terminal | 23:20 |
| g2g591 | kiwi_:it seems you might be trying to install and remove things from a nonadmin account, check in system settings to see if you are in the admin group | 23:20 |
| sivananda | luvss: Sounds like maybe konqueror is configured to use a proxy that's not present... | 23:20 |

| === draik_ is now known as draik | ||
| luvss | sivananda: proxy tab is set to "connect to the internetdirectly" | 23:23 |
| draik | ardchoille: Sorry about that. Someone called and I got taken offline | 23:23 |
| draik | ardchoille: And that pretty much sums up the past few days with DSL | 23:23 |
| ardchoille | draik: lol | 23:23 |
| sivananda | luvss: Do you have another browser you can try? | 23:24 |
| draik | ardchoille: I compared the $CABLE_ISP service to this Verizon DSL and I told them this, "I had a sooped up, non-street legal Lamborghini with a life-long pass to the autobahn. Now, I got a bicycle with two flat tires, no brakes and a rusty chain. Tell me again, how is this DSL faster than Cable?" | 23:25 |
| ardchoille | draik: Would you like to join #draik ? | 23:26 |
| luvss | sivananda: default install of Kubuntu 7.10. I don't see one in the menu. | 23:26 |

| PeterPan_ | http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/6246/snapshot6ol9.jpg what should i do? | 23:26 |
| sivananda | draik: ok just wondered. Might want to doublecheck that none have been missed. It's also possible for one to be faulty I guess. I got a bad one once with dsl | 23:27 |
| draik | sivananda: Only 2 phones in the house. Well, 2 that plug up. The other 2 or 3 are units which connect to a charging base; no phone line. | 23:30 |
| scrubb2000 | Does anyone know what part of linux remembers where an application window was when it was closed? | 23:30 |
| Dr_Willis | scrubb2000 that would be a feture of the windowmanager | 23:30 |
| === abdon is now known as ga | ||
| ardchoille | scrubb2000: Lots of apps store that in the *rc file | 23:31 |
| scrubb2000 | ardchoille: where is that located? If an application isn't remembering where it was last time it ran, does that mean it's not storing that value at all? | 23:31 |
| sivananda | luvss: The first thing I would try would be to install another browser and see if I can reach any sites with it... | 23:32 |
| trillis | Hm... | 23:32 |
| ardchoille | scrubb2000: Many apps have their own *rc file as <appname>rc in ~/.kde/share/config | 23:32 |
| trillis | Could anybody explain why my wireless internet cuts out at random times? | 23:32 |
| ardchoille | scrubb2000: If you look at some of those files, you'll see settings like width=blah | 23:33 |
| luvss | sivananda: Thanks for the help. I'll try that. | 23:33 |
| trillis | Shouldn't really say it's my internet... | 23:33 |
| sivananda | draik: my only other thought would be to make sure you have good connections on the line carrying the dsl into the house. How's the sound quality on the phones? Any 'scratchiness' on the line? | 23:33 |
| draik | sivananda: Good question. I don't know. I don't use the phone. I have my cell, which doesn't work too well in my area cuz of planes, and resort to IMs, IRCs and emails. | 23:34 |
| root__ | hi | 23:36 |
| root__ | I need help with my kubuntu | 23:36 |

| ubotu | root__: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 23:36 |
| Xero | root__, it's not safe to be root. | 23:37 |
| sivananda | draik: I seem to recall that at one point I was having a random disconnect issue with my DSL, and it turned out that the wire from the wall jack to the DSL modem had a partially broken wire. I replaced the wire and it was fine thereafter. But if that's your problem, it could be anywhere in the wires, even potentially in the feed into the house... | 23:37 |
| Xero | Log in as a different user, please. You're putting your box at risk. | 23:37 |
| root__ | my kubunut has broke down since the las update, right now I just can work i recovery mode | 23:37 |
| Xero | oh | 23:37 |
| Xero | That would explain the rootness then. | 23:37 |
| root__ | If Ia try to run multiuser the computer freezes with the usplash | 23:37 |
| scooter_ | whats the command for the terminal to make amorak play mp3's | 23:38 |
| Xero | Try running it without usplash (take off the splash parameter from GRUB/LILO/Whatever you use | 23:38 |
| root__ | I woul like to know what makes my kubuntu crash, so I can downgrade | 23:39 |
| ardchoille | root__: Aren't you the one who sometimes irc's as root? | 23:39 |
| Xero | kernel=yourkernel-2.x.xx-XXXXXXXX ro splash | 23:39 |
| root__ | Xero: I have done that but it down't work either | 23:39 |
| Xero | remove the "splash" from that line | 23:39 |
| sivananda | draik: I've heard reports from people about water occasionally getting into the phone lines causing such problems. That's something the phone company would have to fix of course... | 23:39 |

| Xero | Sorry, haven't been here for a long time | 23:41 |
| root__ | may be in /var/log/ I can fnd the info | 23:41 |
| ardchoille | root__: to be honest, if you've enebled the root account, then you've likely caused your own problems because it's easy to log in as root and eventually you're going to mess something up. I feel you should kick that "habit". | 23:41 |
| Xero | ardchoille, he's running in recovery mode. | 23:41 |
| Xero | That's why s/he's logged in as root | 23:42 |

| root__ | ardchoille: I am trying to fix it but I dont know how | 23:43 |
| ardchoille | root__: Ok, the system crashes during the usplash phase? | 23:43 |
| root__ | ardchoille: yes I have disable the usplash but I still don't know how to fix the problem | 23:44 |
| Xero | What's the last thing it says before phail? | 23:45 |
| ardchoille | root__: If you take the "splash" and "quiet out of menu.lst and reboot, you should be able to see what is going on. You can then use that info to tell us or maybe even figure it out. | 23:45 |
| Xero | ardchoille, he already took "splash" out, and usually if they take out splash they'll take out quiet too | 23:46 |
| Xero | I'm just guessing though. | 23:46 |
| root__ | ardchoille: ok, but the ifo I have is not very clear | 23:46 |
| Xero | Where does it hang? | 23:46 |
| Xero | What is the last thing that it says? | 23:46 |
| ardchoille | root__: You'd be surprised, some of the gurus here have helped with a minimum of info | 23:46 |
