Last night, after my initial install, my resolution looked fine. I set the screensaver to on, and went to bed. This morning, I got up, the screensaverhadn't com on, and the screen was blank, even though I told it no to turn off the monitor. When I woke the machine up, the resolution was WAY low, and it is no longer possible to increase ther resolution anymore. The slider indicates it is on the [01:52] highest level, even though the resolution is abysmal.. [01:52] check first to see if you even have the directory /scripts/kconfig/lxdialog [01:52] dmcglone: yes I do [01:53] Dooood, you need to reconfigure your monitor. I had the same problem. [01:53] ok, how? [01:54] like I said, I can't increase the slider anymore. [01:54] Is there some way to just reset kubuntu to default settings without a reinstall? drivers and everything? [01:54] actually had to run to the store real quick i said brb earlier [01:54] naelr, thats weird [01:54] a quick, nifty konsole command?

[02:00] kub type: about:plugins in your URL and see if your plugins are there [02:00] or will that just give me the same settings I've got? [02:01] no Doood, pick a monitor, you can pick a generic one that will do 1024x768 [02:01] ok [02:01] dmcglone: they are correct [02:01] what happened to my kaffeine player ? It doesn't play anything... same with totem [02:01] have you tried different sites?

[02:59] Well I can say, the past week I've been running compiz, it seems emerald crashes on me for no apearant reason [02:59] but not compiz [03:03] US, yuk [03:04] dmcglone: ah, I guess you're right. compiz is still running...

[03:09] Come on people, I'm doing so good today I can probably read your fortune. [03:09] dmcglone: sweet, the gtk-window-decorator seems to work, thanks [03:09] Nothing, just plug it in and choose some software [03:09] dont puff up his ego even more nikosapi :) [03:09] no problem nikosapi [03:09] LOL kub [03:09] ok, dmcglone, read my fortune about my question above.... [03:09] ok, remembering I'm a n00b, where do I look for drivers for an Epson C66 printer, which I'll be accessing on one of the winXP machines on the network? [03:10] kub^: hehe [03:10] Doooood, was your printer detected? [03:10] no [03:10] figured I'd need drivers to get it to detect [03:10] have you installed the gimp printer drivers? [03:11] um. [03:11] no. [03:11] go for it. thats step one [03:11] that's where the total n00b part comes in.... [03:11] so, a sudo thiny? [03:11] thingy? [03:11] well the gimp print drivers will more than likely have your drivers you need [03:12] aha [03:12] use adept [03:12] and what do I type to get that again? ~sudo somethingsomethingsomething? [03:12] I can't remember the name of the package. do a search for gimp-print [03:13] ok [03:14] installing now [03:14] ta-da [03:15] that should do it. [03:15] koo [03:16] I'm on such a roll all while I got pink eye [03:16] once done, do I need to restart or do something? Do a little John Travolta dance? Hold my mouth in a frown? [03:16] Should I install samba before configure printer on network? [03:16] you don't have to do any of that crap [03:16] koo [03:17] funcrush, yes, you can't install a printer on a non-existant print server [03:17] dmcglone: yup thank you! [03:18] so, dmcglone, after doing that install, the printer should pop up in the samba window when viewing that mchine? It hasn't, am I looking in the wrong place? [03:19] ...maybe I should have done the Travolta? [03:19] Woah, where did samba come in here at? [03:19] hey can anybody recommend me a wireless card? [03:19] where else do I look for a printer, except attached to that machine? [03:20] Dooood, you never specified a network printer in your question [03:20] LMAO [03:20] I did [03:20] ok, remembering I'm a n00b, where do I look for drivers for an Epson C66 printer, which I'll be accessing on one of the winXP machines on the network? [03:20] hang on, let me see your question again [03:20] see? [03:20] hmm, I can't even download the nvidia drivers. [03:20] hmm. [03:20] OK gotcha [03:21] whew. [03:21] LOL [03:21] glad I covered my butt! [03:21] ok did you install the package? [03:21] yes [03:21] I didn't do the Travolta, tho.... [03:21] ok see if your drivers are listed in the "printer" in system settings [03:21] um, hang on [03:23] what willit say if they are? I have some references to printers there, including an "add" tab.... [03:24] ok, I'm trying to add the printer, I chose TCP, and it is scanning the network now. [03:27] ....slowly scanning, that is..... [03:28] can I just input the smb://l in the "Printer address" box, dmcglone? [03:28] Im back Nooob [03:28] ah [03:29] you missed it all then. [03:29] my wife unpluged the computer and tv [03:29] let me re enter what you missed. [03:29] what willit say if they are? I have some references to printers there, including an "add" tab.... [03:29] ok, I'm trying to add the printer, I chose TCP, and it is scanning the network now. [03:29] can I just input the smb://l in the "Printer address" box, dmcglone? [03:30] OK wait a minute, is the printer on the other computer? or the one your one right now? [03:30] the scan is going *very* slowly. [03:30] other computer [03:30] Ah then you need to set up an smb printer [03:30] aha [03:30] ok [03:30] I thought you were trying to install a printer on your linux box [03:31] Anyone with OpenOffice knowledge, could you help me with a OO problem regarding paragraph breaks and the enter key: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3887871#post3887871 [03:31] do you have samba running on the computer that the printer is hooked to? [03:32] uh. no. I don't. [03:33] I need samba on the XP machine, too? [03:33] dang I hate being a n00b. [03:33] first you need to set up samba on your computer that the printer is hooked to, and then find the share name for the printer then set it up on your linux box [03:34] hm. [03:34] You shouldn't need to install Samba on a Windows machine [03:34] you got a lot of work ahead of you being a noob and trying to set up a print server... LOL [03:35] ok, so I need to go to the XP machine, and download a Windows version of Samba? Where do I get that? [03:35] windows comes with smb [03:35] aha [03:35] which is windows sharing [03:35] dang I hate being a n00b. [03:35] all good [03:35] true, but he's gotta set it up LOL [03:35] printer is on xp machine? [03:35] if so just right click on it and share it [03:36] Im pretty sure he said it was [03:36] well, the printer can be seen by other winXP machines..... [03:36] it is shared. [03:36] then it can be seen by ubuntu as well [03:36] I'll double check, though [03:36] well what is the "share name" for the printer? [03:37] dmglonee cant seem to find a cs330 for sale in the UK its rather antiquated ;) any more recommendations ? [03:37] then just goto system settings | printers and add the printer. it has a share scanner thing in that gui as well.. [03:37] ok, I'll try again [03:38] kub did you look up "intel create and share"? [03:38] it would be quite rare that the printer is not browseable.. [03:38] no i will do that now tho [03:39] Ah my previous name finally was let go [03:41] I'll be back, I'm gonna go get in bed and get on my laptop. [03:41] does someone uses amavis + postfix + spamassassin? i need help. my spams are not getting tagged or any spam headers... [03:41] sounds kinky. [03:41] LOL Doooood [03:41] GuHHH: probably better to try #spamassassin [03:41] I'll be back on my laptop in a few minutes [03:41] I've never tried to get ON my laptop..... [03:42] my cat gets on my laptop..... [03:42] but.... [03:43] flaccid: not much help there [03:44] I'm back. [03:45] any luck while I was away? LOL [03:45] GuHHH: elaborate [03:46] oh sorry [03:46] ? [03:46] i thought you were someone else [03:46] yeah i don't think that anyone here would help with that [03:46] help with what, I missed the question [03:47] hm. Error returning browse list: NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED [03:48] why not replace XP with Kubuntu [03:48] dmcglone i cant find that webcam on any uk web retailers that i know of [03:48] woah! one machine at a time! [03:49] doood only way to learn is to just jump in head first [03:49] :-) [03:49] I can't change that machine, anyway, the wife has to have it for her business. If I change that, I become nutless. [03:49] I like my nuts. [03:49] I'm quite attached to them. [03:49] LOL [03:50] Someday you will see that having nuts is not as important than having a working machine ;-) [03:50] heh [03:50] maybe in YOUR opinion..... [03:50] LOL [03:50] your wife will leave you. Your working machine won't. End of story. [03:50] I value my nuts, thank you. [03:51] she'd take the nuts..... [03:51] and nuts are very secondary to a working machine. [03:51] unless you plan to farm yourself out, that is. [03:51] no, I just like my nuts where they are. [03:51] ..and whole.... [03:51] ...and functional.... [03:51] not my concern; I only care for working *buntu machines :-) [03:51] sounds like crimsun knows what it means to have a good OS [03:52] heehee [03:52] let's leave my nuts out of the equation. [03:52] Someday Dooood will understand [03:52] LOL [03:52] Doood, another good thing about it is, you can get a fresh new one every 6 months [03:53] LMAO [03:53] nuts? [03:53] no kubuntu system [03:53] LMAO [03:53] ohhhhhh..... [03:53] heheheh [03:54] Well, let's just get the first one running smoothly, for now. We can discuss me trading my nuts away later.... [03:54] wish I could say the same for women..... HA! HA! [03:54] heh [03:54] been there, done hat..... [03:55] it's not all it's "cracked" up to be, as it were. [03:55] the trick is to convince your wife you need a break from your daily stresses of life. [03:55] sorry was on phone [03:55] (....sorry...) [03:55] heh [03:55] you get nt access denied ? [03:55] yes [03:55] windows is not sharing it publicly [03:55] hm. [03:55] like anon [03:56] i've seen this many times when in fact it is shared properly [03:56] flaccid was you by any chance talking to microsoft tech support for Doood? [03:56] LOL [03:56] ok, how do I force ananomus sharing? [03:56] oops [03:56] don't need, just talk from experience heh [03:56] aninymous [03:56] you call bill [03:56] shite. [03:56] um [03:56] anonymous. [03:56] whew. [03:56] you see its the XP box returning that right [03:56] yes [03:57] but it doesn't return that with windows clients, right [03:57] windows clients can access the print share right? [03:57] I think if Dooood doesn't get it fixed soon, his wife is gonna make him anonymous [03:57] correct, although I haven't checked recently [03:57] never has, tho [03:57] yeah i've seen this before a lot. iirc many possible reasons, the problem being windows.. [03:57] hm [03:57] or he isn't using the correct share name [03:58] can't say i have a solution, besides nagging people in #samba and ##windows [03:58] ok, well, I can wait on this until I get more familiar. [03:58] how long you been married Dooood? [03:58] well, I can see the XP puter, but when I scan I get the NT error [03:59] well, technically, we're not really married, but effectively 15 years. [03:59] do you get the same error with smbclient ? [03:59] Ah cool, same here [03:59] not on all folders, no. [03:59] on the printer share [03:59] yes [03:59] as in smbclient -N //computer/printershare [03:59] with that command? [03:59] uh... [04:00] LOL he's now totally lost [04:00] (n00b, remember) [04:00] you can issue that command to test it in konsole [04:00] where would I input that command? [04:00] ok [04:00] also i believe in the printers add thing, you can select to use 2 dif usernames for anon [04:00] you might need to select the other one [04:02] looks like flaccid has this one under control. It's my bed time. gotta get up bright and early. [04:03] I'll stop back in tomorrow. [04:03] nothing is under control with m$ :p [04:03] LOL true [04:04] anyway, I'm off to bed.

[04:28] yes. [04:28] htmldotcom: I just want songs. For torrents I use kTorrent [04:28] <\dEAD> p2p is evil. try usenet [04:28] !info frostwire [04:28] Package frostwire does not exist in gutsy [04:28] dang [04:29] i guess you could install frostwire manually [04:29] you can get songs using torrents [04:29] How come a Mplayer plugin is able to completely crash my box? [04:29] <\dEAD> torrents are evil too [04:29] not to sound like an idiot but which java do you suggest for Kubuntu 7.10.. According to the wesite you suggested it seems to suggest iced-tea [04:29] tricky: probably because its craaap. i have issues with it all the time myself, but yeah i don't actually know why... [04:29] draik [04:29] htmldotcom: I know :) But I want just single songs. I use *.torrents for albums and discographys [04:29] how do you change the document to portrait style in openoffice? [04:30] flacid: thx ..i get same issue with xine plugin [04:30] <\dEAD> draik, see if your isp has a usenet news server .. its all there, all free [04:30] \dEAD: Highly unlikely [04:31] draik oh then why dont you just download the albums torrent, then uncheck the stuff you dont want [04:31] love kubuntu.. but I'm thinking of trying a minimal window manager to squeeze more juice out of this box, and suggestions for one? that will mesh well with kubuntu? [04:31] agreed [04:31] <\dEAD> most isp's have em. just not much retention or completion%. still better than 3 days waiting for a 10mb torrent :p [04:31] or buy the track legally [04:31] eek! [04:31] U238Willy: fluxbox [04:31] u238willy fluxbox or blackbox [04:31] ok [04:31] i hear fluxbox alot [04:32] thanks [04:32] look at the wikipedias, see what you like [04:32] draik, the only yime you can't get single songs using a torrent is if they are rared or zipped [04:32] exactly [04:32] otherwise, just pick and choose. [04:32] yepp [04:32] personally, I prefer whole albums. [04:33] me too [04:33] i had problemswith ktorrent [04:33] htmldotcom: I just want one song. The DSL here "vacuums" big time. My torrents are downloaded at around 20-40kB/s. [04:33] on kubuntu can I install sun-java6-jdk? [04:33] snarkster: Sure. I don't see why not [04:34] draik:use encryption? [04:34] ok, enough banging my head into the kubuntu machine. got some maintenance on my laptop to perform anywa, might as well bang the head on the windows machine.... [04:34] so just apt-get install sun-java6.jdk? [04:35] draik, you can GET just one song, even if the torrent is the entire album. [04:35] htmldotcom: I have the port forwarding setup, I have everything as it should be on the modem/router and my settings. [04:35] Dooood: downloads via torrents are an eternity [04:35] use encryption in your client, and just select the one song in the torrent to download. [04:35] exactly [04:35] force encryption [04:35] it will help. [04:35] snarkster: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk [04:36] awesome thank you [04:36] and besides, one song does not take an eternity, even at 30K [04:36] and dont use torrentswith only one seed :D [04:36] DSL dies just as a phone calls enters :( [04:36] ...unless you have less patience than a terrier. [04:36] then it will pick back up.... [04:36] i hate it when you have dsl like that. many possibles reasons... [04:37] just have patience. [04:37] Or, go buy the CD. [04:37] 1.3MB download as max. Cable was 5MB. :'( [04:37] get cable then [04:37] htmldotcom: I'm not the account holder. If I was, DSL would have never happened here. [04:37] who is [04:38] heck, I get FLAC albums over FTP, at 5.5kB/sec, nd it doesn';t take more than overnight [04:38] patience [04:38] simple. [04:38] i get movie trilogies overnightthrouh torrents. [04:38] its great [04:38] If the torrent does not exceed 50k I cancel. [04:38] your connection is better than mine, htmldotcom [04:39] this is nice.. having real sun java..

[05:25] i've only used aptitude [05:26] nightdragon: I haven't gotten it to work properly [05:26] I had aptitude decide to remove 300 packages once.. then reinstalled them...

[05:26] removal is fine, purging the cache is not [05:27] It removed, then reinstalled when i installed the next item on my list. Heh. [05:27] dident hurt anything., just took a lot of time. [05:27] well, if they weren't in cache it would have, at least for me with my bad conn [05:28] would have taken a decade, after which i would have just reinstalled distro [05:28] or apt-cd === smooker4 is now known as smookerPC1 [05:44] !beryl [05:44] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.

[05:49] none i'm awaare of [05:49] hm, sounds like you need someone who knows something. That leaves me out..... [05:49] i just need the quick answer [05:50] because well i'm going in for surgery in 6 hours. an i'm guna be toasted on pain meds after that for about a week. so i best not screw with things while loopy [05:50] Dooood, also you will need to make a samba password for the users 'sudo smbpasswd -a USERNAME' [05:50] aha [05:50] ow, surgery [05:50] or make a public share. :) [05:50] but i perfer each user staying in their own place.

[05:53] Use a real real real light window manager. :) like wm2/fluxbox/icewm/matchbox [05:53] well i'm thinking of getting rid of kubuntu an going with a lil leaner xubuntu after i'm feeling better [05:53] surgy, it was useable. :) [05:53] all it ran was X a little wm. and a few xterms [05:53] if you want fast on a really low spec system go with slackware an use fluxbox [05:53] or use fluxbuntu.. [05:54] Dr_willis: in your opinion is it better to run dosbox, or install dos 6.0 in a virtual box? for playing old games [05:54] or any other distro [05:54] I belive wmx, wm2, and jwm are lighter. :) [05:54] the distro under it doesn't matter [05:54] surgy, dosbox does GREAT for old dos games [05:54] surgy, and its a lot less hassle [05:54] Dr_willis: i have both, and the performance seams the same [05:55] surgy, i set up scripts/configs in each dos game dir. for specific settings, and made it wasy for me to just launch warlords, or whatever from the command line. :) [05:55] is there a mother board monitoring software suite available to kubuntu?

[08:18] Hiya, people. Question: Konqueror is currently set as the #2 web browser in my application preference order for HTML documents, after Firefox. In general, this is fine. But sometimes I want to look at a web page in Konqueror, and when I do I can't click any links because it offers to open them in Firefox. [08:18] How do I convince Konqueror that it's okay to open HTML documents when i'm using it as a web browser? [08:21] good morning folks :) [08:23] help i need to create my own custum boot screen can any1 help me???? PLZ [08:24] Yes. [08:24] hello? [08:24] fay i went to boot options in control center [08:24] and downloaded the file to customize the boot screen [08:25] i created my own .. butr when i save it .. it doesnt show up in the menu [08:25] Okay, this is bugging me: http://atuan.com/file_association_error.png [08:25] can any1 plz help me [08:25] Go to /usr/share/doc/grub/readme.debian.gz [08:26] I'd like to be able to use Konqueror as a web browser occasionally, even though I prefer Firefox as my default. But when Firefox is the default web browser, clicking links in Konqueror brings up that dialog. [08:26] A manual setup described there is quite easy [08:26] fay_elf thx ill try it [08:27] This is a side effect of making konqueor do double-duty as a web browser and a file manager, which was never a good idea if you ask me. [08:27] *konqueror [08:28] Selanit: but if you ask me, Konqueror Rocks! noone forces you to use it as both fileman and web browser [08:28] whats a good partioning tool for kde? besides Gpart - that has too many gnome dep's for me to handle [08:28] !info qtparted [08:28] qtparted: A parted frontend using QT.

[08:29] Selanit: Konqueror is the Default Web Browser of me, and many others. [08:30] flaccid: can that format new partitions as well? [08:30] Selanit: i think the default web browser is just a habit...try konqueror for a week and you cannot get back to firefox [08:30] emilsedgh: No thank you; I want my Firebug, Web Developer's Toolbar, and many other extensions which simply aren't available for Konqueror. [08:31] sigma_: yes [08:31] I would like to be able to TEST my web pages in Konqueror, for the benefit of people who prefer it. But I'd rather not have it as my default. And that doesn't appear to be possible at the moment. [08:31] Selanit: yes, im a web developer too and the only thing that i miss are web dev toolbar and firebug.i know many people who need these tools and they love to switch to konqueror but they cant because of these tools [08:32] Did you who asked about grub boot image get the idea?

[10:01] I don't know :) [10:01] meduxa: there might be some technical problems, like krecordmydesktop requiring newer version of libraries or packages that could cause some breakage in feisty [10:01] maybe... not sure [10:02] ok, lets see if I find somebody that takes a look at that, thanks [10:03] meduxa: #ubuntu-motu [10:03] it probably only needs a recompile in feisty.

[10:19] it will ask you which displaymanager you want as default, but i guess you don't want kdm4 as your default anyway. [10:19] thanks [10:19] fdoving: i don't? :) cuz i chose [10:19] i guess will go back to gdm [10:20] if you want it, then use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm' you can select kdm or others from there too.

[10:40] Myrth[home]: they have been around longer than Vista [10:41] _dac_: have you been living under a rock or what ;) [10:41] desktop applets are nothing new [10:41] fyi, that's a wink [10:41] then i tried adding more applets [10:41] They are new to windos users [10:41] and they just got stretched out and stuck in tray [10:41] <_dac_> yes,perhaps I'm a 61 year old man [10:42] mind you so is tabbed web browsing [10:42] and no right click, etc [10:42] Myrth[home]: if you're using the rc1 packages... that's quite old and not updated [10:42] a lot of fixes have been made since then [10:42] _dac_: perhaps ur a 14 year old delinquint [10:42] :P [10:42] that's the latest update, followed by last blog in kubuntu.org [10:43] upgraded just now [10:43] <_dac_> born i 1946... [10:43] Myrth[home]: no. the *latest* update is from SVN [10:43] Jucato: [10:43] ah [10:43] * stdin is working on that ^ [10:43] i see [10:43] stdin: y0. [10:43] Stevethepirate: ask stdin your kde4 package questions :) [10:43] hey :) [10:44] he's the guy to thank for those packages :) [10:44] How recent is http://ppa.launchpad.net/tsimpson/ubuntu gutsy main [10:44] Jucato: i know [10:44] it's RC1 [10:44] hence i'm asking [10:44] Okay. [10:44] 2 weeks+ old [10:44] I'm working on some recent svn packages though [10:44] and for a fast moving target like KDE4, that's very old [10:45] Jucato: indeed, I know this. [10:45] stdin: well, i'm about to install. [10:45] Should I wait a short while? [10:45] Stevethepirate: that wasn't just for you :) [10:45] Until new changings in svn are merged? [10:45] Jucato: sorry, I'm an attention seeking brat :P [10:46] Stevethepirate: no point in waiting, I'm only just beginning to package the svn version now and I can't be sure it'll even build yet [10:46] ahh [10:46] RC3 estimate? [10:46] stdin: is it going to be better than 3.5? :) [10:47] Myrth[home]: depends what you mean by "better" [10:47] You should edit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_4 to include the RCx for x E Z, x>0 [10:47] Stevethepirate: eww, wikipedia :p just use http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Schedule [10:47] stdin: evolution wise :) [10:47] stdin: A lot of people use wikipedia :P [10:47] Myrth[home]: it'll be newer, and it'll have more features... [10:48] Stevethepirate: yeah, but I don't edit it. I spend too much time editing the ubuntu wiki, don't want to work on another too [10:48] stdin: is it going to have a compact theme? [10:48] Um, where it says "To run it as a full session install kdm-kde4 " does it mean, do that in addition to apt-getting the "kdebase-dev-kde4 kdebase-workspace-dev .." or on its own [10:49] Stevethepirate: I'm actually pretty sure you don't need kdm-kde4 [10:49] Why is that? [10:49] Is it just extra packages that I may not have [10:49] you only need one .desktop file from the package, you can also easily use the one from kde3. [10:49] with modifications. [10:49] stdin: is it going to be heavier than 3.5? (memory, cpu) [10:50] Stevethepirate: if you have /usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/apps/kdm/sessions/kde.desktop without installing it, then you don't need it [10:50] Myrth[home]: should be faster with Qt4 [10:50] stdin: kk [10:50] that's good :) [10:50] I doubt I have that file [10:51] Stevethepirate: after installing the other packages first [10:51] stdin: where are you on the splash photo? :) [10:51] Kk [10:51] Myrth[home]: heh, I'm not on that. I'm not a KDE developer [10:51] (yet) [10:51] stdin: could you guess the size of kde4 for gutsy? [10:52] [download size] [10:52] is firefox always a memory hog? [10:52] when i just downloaded it was abt 110M [10:52] yeah [10:52] Myrth[home]: how longs ago?

[17:48] i have to manually kill the process [17:49] joseph: thats the default shortcut for lock screen, if that makes any difference [17:49] yeah, i disabled that shortcut [17:50] because i'm having some other problem with kde's screen saver [17:50] BluesKaj: thanks, but the issue I'm after isn't about ripping a dvd. I have several ways to do that which work fine. I just want the slave working in Konqueror. I like the convenience of being able to open the file browser and simply drag a video file to my desktop and have it rip and encode in one shot. [17:50] joseph: ah.. ok..... what problem were you having with the kde lock screen? [17:50] for some reason, the screen saver listing in kcontrol is empty. not sure why. [17:51] ok sivananda, gotcha [17:51] it may have gone empty after an update, but it's been working since i upgraded to gutsy [17:52] the maintainer of xscreensaver says the way that kde implements the screen saver is improper for some reason [17:52] BluesKaj: I do appreciate your suggestions tho'. Thanks :) [17:52] joseph: hrm.... what happens with the kde screensaver? lock up? [17:53] no, it works [17:53] i just can't configure it [17:53] or change the screen saver [17:53] if i run kcontrol as root, i get the listing, though [17:53] so go figure [17:54] well sivananda , k9copy is great at stripping DRM and code area info from dvds ,...sort of a linux version dvdshrink [17:55] BluesKaj: I'm really kinda surprised that there's no one here with more familiarity with the kio slaves. They're incredibly useful. For example, the audiocd slave lets me browse a CD in Konqueror and it shows a number of 'virtual' folder views of the disk, each with the tracks shown in various formats, mp3, flac, etc., and I can just choose which format I want and drag the files to my... [17:55] ...machine and it rips and encodes. [17:55] so for some reason, i can view the list of screen savers via kdesu, but not as a normal user [17:56] anyone know why that would be the case? [17:56] joseph: thats weird.... try #kde [17:56] heh [17:56] they ussually know a bit more about such things [17:56] joseph, are you running the media scrn saver or slideshow ? [17:56] ;) [17:56] hey all - has anyone actually gotten gmail to work in konqueror and how? It always stops for me at the "Loading…" screen and won't go further... I have browser identification set to firefox 1.5 and have tried 1.0 as well... [17:57] * nosrednaekim uses pop with Gmail....

I knew there was a simple solution that I was just looking over. [20:57] i think the other option is smb://workgroup/ [20:57] i use nfs only so can't check [20:58] So this is only for linux -> windows? [20:58] yes [21:00] Thank you so much. I have one more question! I will be getting a new computer and printer in the office soon and I want to be able to print from my kubuntu laptop to the printer (which will be connected to another XP box). What do I need to do to accomplish this? I've used linux for about 1 1/2 and I've never set up a regular printer, much less a networked one. [21:00] for linux -> linux nfs is a lot better.

[21:05] anto: you can make one partition (primary) for / and one (primary) for /home and swap (primary). that's how i got it. [21:05] matttis: Should be one file per channel. [21:05] I like to make all my partitions primary, but that's just how I roll. [21:06] same here [21:06] has anyone used CIFS in place of samba/smb on their network ,and if so what are the advantages, if any ? [21:06] I think there is a limit of four primary partitions per disc [21:06] yes [21:06] BluesKaj: CIFS is the more general system that samba is moving towards, you're going to start seeing complaints if you use the old smbfs stuff. [21:06] BluesKaj: smb is depricated, CIFS is in development [21:07] parabol0x: Ironic, no? Deprecated, but the replacement isn't ready yet. [21:07] I'll say it's not ready.

[21:18] yw :) [21:18] there are others as well. google for them. [21:19] guys is there a program to see a videos codec? [21:20] milfhunter, one can usually see from the file extn [21:21] often the extension only describes the container... [21:21] that doesn' [21:21] t always tell you what codec was used [21:21] any one get kubuntu installed on eee pc [21:21] yes its an .avi but i need to see something like video encoder MP4 audio encoder AC3 [21:23] usually divx or xvid , if it's avi [21:24] milfhunter, try devede GUI , it may give the codecs for both audio and video [21:24] well i'll explain better what i mean, i have a 40min video thats like 700Mb and i have downloaded avidemux2 to re-encode it but i am not sure what type of video/audio encoding is the best to use... [21:24] normally it could be like 350-370mb [21:25] the tovid package has a nice utility to display all the info on a video file. [21:25] It'll give you the length and encoding and everything.

[21:28] yes jhutchins, agreed but devede will give the properties without having to transcode [21:28] Did anyone have any trouble getting KRec to work? [21:28] BluesKaj: The tovid util doesn't transcode, it just reads the headers and dumps the info. [21:29] ok, point taken, jhutchins [21:30] thanks for the help guys :) [21:30] i hope transcode does the job! === Necrobyte is now known as Necro_no_ta [21:32] hej [21:32] någon svensk? [21:33] svenne: Sadly, no. [21:33] !se | svenne [21:33] svenne: Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du pa #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se [21:33] anyone know how to do a net install? [21:34] tekteen: Never don a 'buntu one, there should be a way from the alternate install CD though - probably an option on the menu. [21:34] I looked [21:34] everywhere [21:35] na there aint one tiko [21:35] I know the alt install cd inside and out. [21:35] were u talking to me? [21:35] tekteen: Um, did you try googling "kubuntu net install"? [21:35] yes [21:35] dont know anyone that did netinstall [21:36] sudo apt-get distro-upgrade ? [21:36] ? [21:37] tekteen: It's not really meant to be done over the net, as long as you've got the CD anyway might as well install from that. It pulls updates from the net anyway. [21:37] tekteen, I'm not sure :) [21:37] tekteen: http://wiki.koeln.ccc.de/index.php/Ubuntu_PXE_Install [21:37] I see that net installs are a future planned feature, which implies that they haven't been explicitly made available yet. [21:37] not looking for PXE [21:37] what are you looking for then? [21:38] tekteen: Don't just a FAQ by it's URL! [21:38] I want a cd that will [21:38] tekteen: Just use the alt CD. [21:38] install from its own repo [21:38] jhutchins_lt, no wonder my attempts at a net upgrade to gusty kept failing :) [21:38] almost nothing about kde 4 works for me still [21:38] I think its "dist-upgrade" [21:38] err gutsy [21:38] BluesKaj: Net upgrade is not the same as net install. [21:38] if there is an update or it does not have it it will get it from the net [21:38] tekteen: http://mirrors.ccs.neu.edu/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/main/installer-i386/current/images/netboot/mini.iso [21:39] thanks [21:39] or the equivalent path for a mirror near you.

[21:40] There's a lot of stuff that says it's not available. [21:40] compbrain: Old stuff no doubt. [21:40] What page are you speaking of? [21:41] Whatever, first page of hits on google assumes it's not explicitly possible. [21:41] jhutchins_lt, i did a clean install from the live cd after adept's upgrade client kept failing [21:41] the repos kept disconnecting [21:42] Yuck [21:42] compbrain: do u know of and documentation on the mini.iso [21:42] Bad repos will make a mess of the best installers. [21:42] any* [21:43] tekteen: It boots, and is the text mode ubuntu installer, not sure specifically what your looking for. [21:43] tekteen: You still haven't explained _why_. [21:44] mike-kubuntu: are you using the RC1? [21:44] jhutchins_It: I do installs on machines with no DVD drive but need them to auto install A LOT of software [21:44] nosrednaikim: yeah [21:44] I have been modifying the alt install cd but it will not get packages off the internet [21:45] tekteen: also, the 'installation-guide-$ARCH' packages will have information your looking for [21:45] ok [21:45] I need to figure out how to put a deb repo (like on the alt install cd) on the mini.iso [21:46] and make in gigantic.iso :-) [21:46] Hm. There's a program called kickstart in RedHat, pretty sure there are similar ones, allows you to profile a machine and use that as an install template. Takes a few extra steps, but it sounds like you're already doing those. [21:46] yep [21:46] There should be something like that for kubuntu.... [21:46] Does anyone know where I can find a good walkthrough to connect to a wireless network with wpa enabled, when im only booted up to a command line interface? [21:46] there ir [21:46] preseed [21:46] is* [21:47] !wpa [21:47] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [21:47] jhutchins_lt: There is. If you look at the installation guide, you can use preseed OR kickstart files with the ubuntu-installer, which will install a kubuntu machine. [21:47] tekteen: So you would be using something like that? [21:47] ? [21:48] jhutchins_lt: I do not understand [21:48] what is "that" [21:48] * tekteen is too tired to think [21:49] tekteen: You would use something like preseed to build your boot/install iso. [21:49] yes, I do use preseed [21:50] Well, enought of this foolishness. Sitting around pretending to support a Windows site all day! [21:50] But it will not use a repo [21:50] there is a tool for it [21:50] genii: what tool? [21:51] g2g [21:51] bye [21:51] anybody know if there's a way to get kget to save a file with the server date rather than now() ?

[21:59] yeah [21:59] should the linux-swap be primary or extended partion also is 50gb to big? [21:59] anto: doesn't matter, and 50gb is way to big for swap. [22:00] primary is fine if you have only /, /home and swap. 1GB is enough [22:00] anto: 2gigs is about right for most [22:00] 2G swap is plenty [22:00] i have 500MB swap here [22:01] swap should be 2X RAM [22:01] or 1.5 [22:01] 4gb then [22:01] Ill set 6gb thinking of adding another gb of ram [22:01] you'll never use all that [22:01] That's more than you'll need, guaranteed [22:01] parabol0x: i got 700gb of space [22:01] w/e [22:02] w/e ?

[22:54] thanks [22:54] do in need antivirus [22:54] steve_: if you have question, chances are we can answer them,(or point you in the right direction) [22:54] !virus [22:54] A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21 [22:55] i cant access my discs where my windows is on [22:55] or any disc for that matter and dont want to lose the data on it [22:55] !mount [22:55] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Kubuntu, go to System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter [22:55] NeoFax: you should have /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15 as a symlink to /usr/lib/libmysqlclient_r.so.15.0.0 [22:56] trappist: It is. [22:56] NeoFax: what are you trying to build? [22:57] trappist: MaNGOS [22:57] Does Gateway T-1616 help? [22:57] jamie_: err sorry, didn't see tha.. just a second. [22:57] <_dac_> is there training one can take on freenode ? [22:58] SportChick: erm wow.... I remember you from bzflag :D [22:59] NeoFax: ok I get the same thing... [23:00] trappist: OK, then it is a MaNGOS problem then or a possible mysql_config problem? [23:00] NeoFax: checking that out now [23:01] Hi all [23:01] hi Nonino [23:01] Somebody is able, and happy of helping me with some networking issues? [23:02] Hi nosrednaekim === AndrewYoung is now known as Vaelen [23:02] jamie_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=609196 [23:02] Nonino: like what? [23:02] I am new to linux and Intalled fedora 8 it auto set up partitions using freespace on my hard disk Now I have 4 partitions 2 are for winddows [23:03] I was wondering how to do away with fedora completely [23:03] and install kubuntu [23:03] If i give you a diagram of a topology... could you tell me the mac source that each access point in the net would see? [23:03] if i delete the the partitions will it delete all content in them [23:03] ? [23:03] ninjagambit: just launch the installer, do manual partitioning, and select the mount points for your partitions [23:04] ninjagambit: yes [23:04] Nonino: eh? [23:04] ninjagambit, you need to format the partitions [23:04] nosrednaekim: i need to know what happens with the mac address of a packet every time it go thru each hop [23:05] Nonino: oh.... wow... ok, never done that, but wireshark might be able to tell you [23:05] can i delete partitions then format the new freespace [23:05] ninjagambit: yes, but it will delete your information. [23:05] yes [23:06] nosrednaekim: the problem is that i'm not able to test it, i need the concept before to develop an application related with that [23:06] thats fine [23:06] how do I change my nick to dmcglone? [23:06] i just want to have it blank [23:06] !nick [23:06] By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your Freenode nick can be found at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration [23:06] to do fresh kubuntu install [23:06] ninjagambit: ah ok... yeah, that should be fine then [23:07] ninjagambit, you only need to deete the partitions if your gonna resize them [23:07] yeah i have to [23:07] then just delete them and then after you re-create them format them [23:07] fedora requires one for boot 126mb [23:08] and then another [23:08] I thought you were putting kubuntu on and removing fedora? [23:08] I am [23:08] then why worry about what fedora requires? [23:08] i think i found the driver, how do i install .tar.bz2? [23:08] but the boot partition isnt large enough now [23:09] jamie_: well, thats probably a kernel driver, [23:09] i believe so. is that what i need? === ubuntu is now known as Linha [23:09] the questions you are asking, I wonder how you even got fedora installed. === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever [23:10] NeoFax: ah, looks like you need libmysql++, the c++ bindings for mysql [23:10] !ralink [23:10] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [23:10] NeoFax: sudo apt-get install libmysql++-dev libmysql++2c2a [23:10] during the manual set up off kubuntu install there is option for primary or logical which one do i use and should i format the swap partion as swap [23:11] jamie_: I have to go.... please read that wifi-docs page. it should explain how to get your raLink wireless working. [23:11] that site didn't work [23:12] can anybody help with some networking concepts? [23:12] jamie_: err! well i'm very sorry. [23:12] is that kernel driver the one i need tho? you sounded as if it wasn't [23:12] Nonino: #linux may be more helpful [23:12] nosrednaekim: thanks! [23:12] jamie_: well, that probably is the right driver,but its also probably installed on your computer. [23:13] jamie_: does "iwconfig"show any wireless devices? [23:13] no [23:13] "no wireless extensions" [23:13] hrm... well sorry... good luck! [23:13] ty [23:14] trappist: Already had them installed [23:14] * genii sips a coffee [23:15] I want some of that coffee [23:15] black please [23:16] where ya at bazhang_? [23:16] Kubuntu is not detecting my wireless on my laptop [23:16] what card you using jamie? [23:17] david__: I'll take bourbon and creme in mine. [23:17] * genii passes david__ a large black coffee, extra strong [23:17] jamie_: You've had the linux hardware support rant? [23:17] Ah, tastes great [23:17] compbrain: u still here? [23:17] I don't know. this is a new laptop that had vista and now with kubuntu it is as if doesn't exit [23:17] * genii rummages for jhutchins' bourbon [23:18] i don't know what the support rant is [23:18] genii: That's ok, just cream then, i'll add the burbon. [23:18] first you need to figure out your model of card [23:18] how can I format a sata drive? It initializes /dev/md0 but I cant manage it with fdisk [23:18] * genii slides a coffee with cream down to jhutchins [23:18] it is difficult because lspci doesn't show it [23:18] jamie_: did u chech the restricted drivers manager? [23:19] md0 <> sata it's some raid device [23:19] check* [23:19] it's not going to because linux doesn't reconize it yet, because you haven't set it up yet. [23:19] jamie_: Manufacturers of the cards don't supply OS drivers because we could theoretically hack them to make the cards use illegal parts of the radio spectrum. Only the cards that brave, noble souls have hacked work, but that's most of 'em, dang it! [23:19] yeah ski challenge is back [23:19] anyone had try it under linux [23:19] jamie_: sudo lspci | grep Ethernet will show you what chipset you're dealing with. [23:19] ok ty brb [23:20] I doenst want raid, just want to use it as a normal ide or something [23:20] fungos_: what does fdisk say when you try? [23:20] fungos_: sudo fdisk -l? [23:20] jamie: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/joomla/index.php?/component/option,com_openwiki/Itemid,33/id,list/ [23:21] Unable to find /dev/md [23:21] fungos_: sudo fdisk -l? [23:21] ops [23:21] 08:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8101E PCI Expres s Fast Ethernet controller (rev 01) [23:21] jamie_: Um, that's the wired one, is there another? [23:21] no, fdisk -l doesnt show anything to do with that drive. just the master one [23:21] Ok jamie, go find your card on that site I specified [23:21] Ah thats wired [23:22] when I try fdisk /dev/md I get: Unable to read /dev/md [23:22] fungos_: Does your bios have hardware raid of some kind enabled? [23:22] no, thats what i mean it doesn't 'see' the wireless. i know it's there it worked on vista [23:22] fungos_: It woudl be /dev/md#, starting with 0 [23:22] jamie, go read the ndiswrapper docs I sent you above [23:22] when I try fdisk /dev/md0 I get: Unable to read /dev/md0 too :) [23:22] ok [23:22] your problem is beyond the scope of a chat room [23:22] Er, no, /dev/... it'd be /dev/sda, with the partitions 1-9. [23:22] lOL [23:23] my bios doesnt support raid.. but the disk itself shows its own "bios" [23:23] fungos_: Possibly you need a driver for the sata adapter, although linux is pretty good about that. [23:23] a bios on a sata drive? Hmmm thats news to me [23:23] might be some Promise controller [23:23] david__: bios on a controller, that's normal. [23:24] i have to know what kind of wireless i have for that site to work [23:24] well of course a controller [23:24] NeoFax: My nvidia card is running... ;-) ;-) ;-) [23:24] david__: We often walk people through basic native/ndiswrapper/wifi setups, as long as they're willing to try. [23:24] i went to gateway and in order for them to specify they wanted me to use IE [23:24] jhutchins, be my guest then... LOL [23:25] sourcemaker: NP. I am glad I can help someone === Delvien is now known as DM| [23:25] this drive I just bought, I need to do a physical format in it? [23:25] jamie_: ok, sudo lspci then, and look at what you get. [23:25] fungos_: Not if fdisk doesn't see it. [23:25] NeoFax: there was a problem with my boot loader... the installed kernel was not loaded... ;-) [23:25] in no way am I going to sit here that long [23:25] only the wired one pops up. do you think this could be a BIOS problem? [23:25] fungos_: you might try the gparted live cd, see if it can find it. [23:25] see [23:25] LMAO good luck jhutchins [23:26] ok, I will try [23:26] brb i'm going to search high and low for my wireless card type [23:27] I hope you find it [23:27] david__: I'm intrigued. What sort of new wireless hardware might not show up in lspci? [23:27] Is it on some other bus? [23:27] pcmcia possibly (still lspci should show that) or maybe usb [23:27] Even usb cards show up on the pci bus through the bridge. [23:28] I didn't say anything about not showing up in lspci, i'm talking about how hard it's going to be to help her if she can't do anything in the first place. [23:28] exactly. It _should_ show up, even as an unidentified device. [23:28] david__: You're assuming a gender that has not been clearly indicated. [23:28] is there a beryl installation guide available? [23:28] this has nothing to do with gender either. [23:29] sourcemaker- Beryl has been discontinued [23:29] sourcemaker: Pretty sure there is, see #ubuntu-effects and #compiz [23:29] sourcemaker: beryl has merged back with compiz. [23:29] jhutchins: thank for information [23:30] !compiz | sourcemaker [23:30] sourcemaker: Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default.

[23:58] stdin: ok... I hope that it won't release unti it is stable for productive use :-) [23:58] it'll be stable enough, don't expect it to be fully usable for all users until 4.1 [23:59] i will wait until kde4 becomes full stable b4 install it on my main system
