I find the philosophy behind Ubuntu to be compatible with my Feng shui discipline that I abscribe to. [00:14] if it is half-installed but no line that says installed, that means the installation breaks in the middle, could be because of dependency [00:14] Hua_Zhuang, what ???? [00:15] It is my hope that Kubuntu will be as good as Ubuntu at maximizing (American spelling) Qi (flow of energy).

[00:25] correct [00:25] Are we talking about the Cube Cap or each virtual "desktop" have it's own background? I am pretty sure the former is possible in CF. It was in Beryl === ere4si is now known as newnick === newnick is now known as ere4si [00:27] well I know in kde each virtual desktop can have its own background [00:27] but I can't get the cube to have different backgrounds [00:27] endofnite, what about adding Background Images to the "Background Images" section in the Desktop Cube setting area? [00:27] Does anyone know how to remove a device from an mdadm array, when the device is not physically present? [00:28] where is that area nick [00:29] endofnite, in the main settings area (listing all the various plugins) click on Desktop Cube. Then click on Appearance [00:30] :( No one has mdadm experience then [00:30] how much experience? [00:31] Enough to tell me how to remove a device from the md array [00:31] nick: I don't have that option in my version which is gutsy native [00:31] even if the device is not physically attached to the PC anymore. === kerry is now known as wii [00:32] your filter "appearance does not match any items [00:32] endofnite: mdadm remove or the like?

[00:33] wii: :D :D :D :D [00:33] eVipere: mdadm --set-faulty perhaps [00:33] So mdadm --remove /dev/md0 /dev/sda1 doesn't work. [00:34] --set-faulty doesn't work, it keeps complaining about cannot find device. [00:34] yup nick you have different version [00:34] of ccsm [00:34] what version is that perchance [00:35] mine is ccsm-0.5.2. [00:35] endofnite, $ compiz --version: compiz 0.6.3 [00:35] damn you are happening [00:35] lolz [00:35] eVipere: What does mdadm think about itself, (ie, mdadm --examine) [00:35] tried compiling that yesterday with errors [00:36] maybe you can help me with those lolz :P [00:36] rather, --detail [00:36] Just No Superblock found for --examine.

[00:36] Stupid onscreen keyboard. [00:37] so when is kubuntu gutsy going to be ready? [00:37] it is ready [00:37] im running it [00:37] lolz [00:37] endofnite, i got that version of compiz from the repos. I only have Opera, backports, *verse and Canonical repos. It should be in there [00:37] really [00:37] I installed Kubuntu 7.10 on my laptop. Everything was alright, until I installed the nvidia driver from nvidia. I didn't like it.. so tried to unistall it... that didn't go well, driver didn't clean itself up well. So eventually I got rid of it... but I think I ended up doing a fresh kernel module install (not exactly sure what I did). Anyways, I lost some of my kernel modules.. vmware, soundcard, wireless card.. I got vmware back.. [00:37] pt I could run to get back all the other drivers ? i.e. like right after I did my install ? [00:37] pteague, kubuntu gutsy is ready [00:37] # ????????????????????? [00:37] # ????????????????????? [00:37] # ??????????????????? [00:37] # ??????????????????? [00:37] can you give me a screenie of your repos [00:38] nick please [00:38] hmm [00:38] Not working. [00:38] eVipere: Out of curiosity, why are you wanting to remove the device, I assume eventually you will add it back? [00:38] I wonder if it's the verse [00:38] don't think I have the verse [00:38] compbrain: When I get another drive, yeah, but I would like to get this system functional on just the 1 for the time being. [00:39] NickPresta> k, was just going through the gutsyupgrades page on help.ubuntu.com & it says "when kubuntu 7.10 is officially released..." [00:39] endofnite, i can upload my sources.list for you. hold one moment [00:39] awesome danke sehr :) [00:42] endofnite, http://nickpresta.ath.cx/temp/sources.list.txt [00:43] thanks so much sir [00:44] Hay all when i tried to do an upgrade yesterday apt said it couldn't. and now when ever itry to do apt or apt-get update i get Encountered a section with no Package: header Problem with MergeList /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_gutsy_universe_binary-amd64_Packages The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened. [00:45] I just installed 7.10 and nvidia drivers. but my X gives error API mismatch.. what should I install to it work? [00:46] you need to remove nv from the restricted modules, let me see if i can find my directions [00:47] shadowhywind: run a apt-get update [00:47] I used that new restricted modules manager to install the nvidia driver [00:47] fungos edit /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules you should see a DISABLED_MODULES="" change it DISABLED_MODULES="nv" [00:47] nosrednaekim i get that error when i run apt-get update [00:48] shadowhywind: bad mirror? [00:48] no clue, in the middle of the update it said that it had to stop or it would do bad things [00:49] Why would nv be in restricted modules? Isn't it installed with the system? [00:49] There are two version of the nvidia drives the ones that comes preinstalled and one that you can download from the repo's/nvidia website. [00:50] and I need to uninstall and install again nvidia? [00:50] the one that comes preinstalled doesn't do opengl *to my knowledge* [00:50] shadowhywind: Oh, ok, I thought that was the diff between "nv" and "nvidia". My bad. [00:50] have you installed the repo version or the website? [00:50] shadowhywind: Right, you need nvidia for OpenGL [00:50] ardchoille: I think it is.. [00:50] there is a difference between nv and nvidia, nv i believe is the preinstalled version [00:51] shadowhywind: I simply did: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx && sudo nlvidia-glx-config enable [00:51] And they were ready to go [00:51] shadowhywind: I dont know which I installed. It was using restricted-manager-kde [00:51] fungos: did you try any other methods for installing the nvidia drivers previously? [00:51] no, It worked with 7.04.. but 7.10 just hangs [00:52] fungos: restricted-manager installs nvidia, the nv driver ships with kubuntu [00:52] fungos: what worked with 7.04, and what hangs in 7.10 [00:52] I bet it's that restricted-manager [00:52] also my problem is apparently my apt's cache is too small to handle all of the packages [00:53] ardchoille: I have NEVER heard of a problem with restricted-manager. [00:53] nosrednaekim: I've seen many bugs caused by it [00:53] ussually its got to do with automatix or such [00:54] ardchoille: really?hmm [00:54] fungos: You didn't use automatix did you? [00:54] not going to say you are wrong.. [00:54] anyone know any good channels for help with java programming? [00:55] API mismatch: the NVIDIA kernel modules has the version 1.0-9631, but this X modules has the version 1.0-9639. Please make sure that the kernel module and all NVIDIA driver components have the same version. [00:55] nosrednaekim: Reading the bugs is what prompted me to use the cli install method instead of the restricted-manager. Worked great in cli, but the restricted-manager caused problems on 8 of my boxes [00:55] ardchoille: nope [00:56] fungos: open up adept and search for "nvidia" and tell us which ones are installed [00:57] nvidia-glx and nvidia-kernel-common only [00:57] Hello, Does Kubuntu come with the packages needed to install opera [00:58] Tailsfan: yes, it should [00:58] OK [00:59] Tailsfan: at least they are in the repositories [00:59] fungos: ok [00:59] Yeah, but I can't use Konqueror to access my net [00:59] Earthlink has a prob with Konqueror [00:59] another box with nvidia here, has only nvidia-glx-new and nvidia-kernel-common ... I will try that [01:00] fungos: worth a shot I guess. [01:01] Fungos, I had that same issue.. after installing nvidia's driver.. then trying to remove, and go back to the driver provided by kubuntu [01:01] I eventually fixed it... but I think I ended up replacing my Kernel modules.. cause drivers for my wireless card and sound card are now missing [01:02] which is why I am here, is there some script I can run, to autodetect what drivers I need, and get the installed... i.e. like the installer did ? [01:02] Ok, im trying nvidia-glx-new now.. then I try to uninstall it .. I really think that there is missing something with the kernel.. or kernel-headers or kernel-sources .. dont know [01:03] fungos: I'm not an nvidia user... sorry.. [01:03] sp3c: should automatically happen. [01:04] fungos: Try this to see if the modules are installed: apt-cache policy linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r` | grep -i installed [01:04] nosrednaekim... Yeah.. I did something bad... alsa shows no sound devices [01:04] sp3c: install an older kernel [01:05] just show: 2.6.20.5-15.20 [01:05] I believe the kernel I am at, was working fine.. before my little nvidia adventure... 2.6.22-14 [01:05] the other box mine has kernel 2.6.22.14-generic [01:05] fungos: Ok, that's what I was wondering [01:06] should I update the kernel? [01:06] fungos: yeah... install the -14 kernel [01:06] if I try to reinstall my kernel.. would that help ? [01:06] Is there anyway to get opera for Kubuntu while on Windows [01:07] Tailsfan: download the static binary from the OPera site [01:07] NickPresta: you still there? [01:08] are you running 386? [01:08] endofnite, yes, to both [01:08] hmm cos all I got upgraded with your repos is wine [01:08] :/ [01:08] endofnite, how did you check the version for ccsm? [01:08] probably they don't have builds im guessing for my amd64 [01:09] did an slocate [01:09] updatedb & [01:09] then sudo slocate [01:09] if you are unfamiliar with that [01:09] weird .. 2.6.22 alredy is installed.. maybe grub isnt updated [01:10] im sure there are other ways [01:11] endofnite, I know how to get ccsm. I'm asking how you found the version. Clicking on "about ccsm" inside the manager doesn't reveal the version number [01:13] I just updated firefox today, and a few other things ... something is seriously wrong with it. [01:14] endofnite, nevermind. I checked the python files. I have ccsm version 0.5.2. [01:14] not according to your screenshot [01:14] or wait [01:14] you said you had [01:14] endofnite, $ compiz --version: compiz 0.6.3 [01:15] hmm [01:15] my version says the same [01:15] and the same ccsm [01:17] endofnite, hmm. I don't know what to tell you. You had the Desktop Cube setting area, don't you? [01:17] sigh I sure do [01:18] * endofnite slaps himself repeatedly with a wet penguin [01:18] endofnite, open that area and click on Appearance :) [01:18] ya im looking at it [01:18] at least you helped me update wine \0/ [01:18] now it cant finde nvidia.ko !

[01:38] good morning (2.40am at my place) [01:38] is anybody here? [01:38] 3:38 here :) [01:39] any ideas why my openoffice isn't starting? "WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit ..." [01:39] just a question I was just wondering : [01:40] I just mounted an external hard drive [01:40] and I changed the owner of its files to.. say "lambda" [01:40] question is : [01:40] Hi. What do I have to do to access windows shares? === nalioth__ is now known as nalioth [01:40] files in konqueror are still said to be owned by root [01:41] although the "lambda" user can do anything to them [01:41] any idea how it works? (I mean it's all fine in my case, that's what I wanted, but just wondering why it says root and not lambda) === ForeverZero is now known as sea4evet [01:42] admonline45: to access [01:42] chown maybe? === sea4evet is now known as sea4ever [01:42] not sure [01:42] nothing if you've just installed kubuntu [01:43] type in your file browser "smb://xxx.xx.xxx.xx" [01:43] anyone here from the UK? any ideas how what income tax rate do expats pay? couldnt find it on the hmrc website [01:43] where xxx.xx.xxx.xx is an IP address of the computer you want to get your file from [01:43] anybody have a crt monitor and cant get their refresh rate to set with nvidia driver? [01:44] SR-latch : that's what I did to have the owner changed to lambda [01:45] now lambda can use it as if it were its own files [01:45] however, these files are still marked to be owned by root [01:45] jembouge: Is that for me? I'll give that a shot; but what do I ahve to do to see it in Dolphin? [01:46] have you tried changing group access also? [01:47] adamonline45: yes, for you :) [01:48] adamonline45: I don't know much about dolphin, I don't like the interface [01:48] adamonline45: but maybe you could just create a bookmark or something [01:48] adamonline45: there's probably a way to have your remote computer shown in the left list (if my memory serves) [01:49] adamonline45 : just by dragging something to it [01:49] yes there is one called network [01:49] SR-latch: no, should I ? [01:50] i am not sure but things could be messed up if for example the user belong to adiffrent group than the one owning the file if my memory serves me well === schiste_ is now known as schiste [01:51] SR-latch: well I've just tried, hasn't changed anything. [01:51] hmmm [01:52] SR-latch: but that's fine.... you know what? I haven't even thought about the rwx stuff! Let's give it a look... [01:53] yah, it says it's root, but anyone can do anything [01:53] ... [01:53] not sure that's good :p [01:53] weird [01:53] and dangerous i would add [01:53] indeed... by chance this is only my stuff at home, and not some work computer [01:55] Hello, Is it true that Kubuntu Kills Laptpo Batteries? [01:55] Tailsfan: no [01:55] Tailsfan, I don't think so. I usually get better battery life when in "Laptop Mode" in Kubuntu versus XP [01:56] if you ls -al in the folder what is the result? [01:56] how do I enable laptop mode? or is it enabled automatically? [01:56] Tailsfan: mine works longer with kubuntu than it used to before... but for only 5 minutes approximately :D [01:56] (I had winXP before) [01:56] I have XP now [01:57] the last 3 specifically [01:57] I'm using the Live CD right now [01:57] SR-latch: trying it now... [01:58] Tailsfan, in System Settings, you should have a Power Control module, I believe. It should look like this: http://www.kubuntu.org/docs/images/C/kubuntu-powercontrol-laptopbattery.png [01:58] I'm actually trying to get recordmydesktop right now [01:58] In Dolphin, I click Samba shares and I can see mshome, but when I click on mshome it says 'loading directory, 0%' at the bottom, and it's not doing anything. Does anyone know how to fix this? [02:00] SR-latch: all is root, and it returns the RECYCLER and System Volume Information (XP stuff, that's NTFS stuff I forgot to tell) [02:01] My new look. file:///home/johnny/snapshot1.png [02:01] Radio01: not sure we'll be able to see it :p [02:01] Radio01: Is that supposed to be a link? [02:02] I think.. [02:02] adamonline45: talking about Radio01's address, yes, but that's a "local" address [02:02] Radio01, "The file or folder /home/johnny/snapshot1.png does not exist." =D You have to upload it somewhere. [02:02] maybe its something with NTFS i am not sure [02:02] ah ok [02:02] Has anyone had any luck Running WoW in Kubuntu? [02:03] Tailsfan, never tried [02:03] with wine [02:03] i thought it attatchment guess not [02:03] its possible [02:03] but has a lower framerate [02:04] is wine good enough to do that now? Well it certainly improved since last time I heard of it then... good job developpers [02:04] yup its very good right now :) [02:04] * Tailsfan wishes Kubuntu comes with games [02:05] Tailsfan, they're only a "sudo apt-get install" away :) [02:05] yup its very good right now :) [02:05] SR-latch: I think that's the thing too... [02:05] * thinks Tailsfan will have to install Kubuntu to play games :p [02:06] I know [02:06] id software has a linux installer for quake wars [02:06] though you still got to buy the game ;) [02:07] SR-latch: yet I somehow feel reluctant about using it (wine). I believe we have all we need already without needing windows software [02:07] Yeah, but I play WoW, not ET: QW [02:08] i know, it sucks badly that most software houses built their games in windows [02:08] they rarely port them to linux [02:08] Tailsfan, you could always ask Blizzard to allow us to make binary versions of WoW for mass distribution to users of the APT/DPKG system :) [02:09] True [02:09] WoW and BC are Win/Mac only [02:09] hahahhahaha [02:09] SR-latch: yeah I saw it all (QuakeWars and others), I went through a lot of the games to test and see what is done today, and was well surprised in fact [02:09] sudo apt-get wow! [02:09] Believe me I know, I have the Battle Chest from it [02:09] unfortunately my damn old computer's not so good at graphics [02:09] Nor is mine apparently [02:09] same here [02:10] I had to set all graphics to low [02:10] and it run around 30-50 fps [02:10] * Tailsfan also hates Earthlink [02:10] all I play now is Frozen Bubble :D [02:10] hehehhehe [02:11] Frozen Bubble = Bubble Bobble [02:11] gotta go to sleep guys [02:11] I lik ethat game [02:11] lol [02:11] 4:11 here :) [02:11] gnite [02:11] Night *gives him a night cap* [02:11] me too, 3h11 here [02:11] cheers [02:11] wanking === SR-latch is now known as milfhunter [02:12] OMG!!!! milfhunter :D [02:12] Earthlink's Internet at nights s**k [02:12] what's Earthlink?

[02:13] I think about 4 weeks [02:14] that's what's written on the website, was it true for you? [02:14] tonight I've been trying to install kubuntu on a friend's box, but his machine couldn't read burned cds.... [02:15] just a shame, he's so disappointed [02:15] he has noone else to install it on his box, and we don't meet often (every other month :p ) [02:15] well, leaving now [02:16] have all good times with Kubuntu :D [02:16] good night! [02:16] Can we KDErs use avant window navigator? [02:19] * genii makes a new pot of coffee for all the caffeine addicts [02:21] Okay... I'm having trouble getting a Windows-shared printer to show up in the Printer Wizard. [02:21] The printer is shared from a Windows XP system, which should be configured properly, (as I configured it myself). [02:21] But, It doesn't show up, (the computer itself doesn't even show up). [02:22] I've tried the Guest account, Anonymous, and the root account for the remote system. [02:26] Kr4t05, the guest acct is usually the one that works , however go to the windows pc and check on the printer driver in printer properties and use that name for the printer [02:26] BluesKaj: Yeah, I did that. [02:27] in the linux printer wizard ...setup samba too [02:27] BluesKaj: I've never had to "set up" samba before. The defaults usually worked fine. [02:34] So, I set up the printer using the information from the Windows machine. [02:34] I sent it a job, and in the System Setttings window, it says "Processing" [02:34] shalom folks [02:34] Oh, now it says "Held" [02:37] hello gents, quick question: how do I get a device which normally does NOT SHOW up on the media:/ kioslave, to show up there so the user can mount unmount and the dialog box of device insertion appears? [02:37] Kr4t05, samba will open the line to the pc and see it , then cups will see it as well when you run the printer wizard [02:38] BluesKaj: Well, obviously. [02:38] It's worked before, in Fiesty, Edgy and Dapper. [02:39] Kr4t05, does the pc workgroup show up if you type smb:/ in the konq addressbar ? [02:39] Yes. === genii_ is now known as genii [02:40] MSHOME shows up. [02:40] Should I click it? [02:41] I click it: Timeout on server MSHOME [02:41] As if anyone here would care, I'm honestly expecting someone to tell me to install Ubuntu on the other system. >> [02:42] ya get a new drive.. [02:42] Kr4t05, and you've shared the printer on the windows pc ?...sorry if I'm stating the obvious but I'm just trying to cover all the bases [02:43] Ok, who's taking me to dinner? [02:43] and make sure the windows pc is booted up [02:43] BluesKaj: Yep. [02:43] Yes. [02:44] but you don't see a workgroup? [02:44] with the linux pc [02:44] I see a workgroup, but if I click it, it errors out. [02:44] And says something about timing out. [02:45] my setup shows a workgroup and mshome in konq [02:45] my setup show mshome, and nothing else. [02:45] "MSHOME" is the workgroup. [02:45] how to set which user can use su or sudo with OWN password to become root [02:46] timing out , that's cuz it's looking but can't find the windows pc [02:46] LimCore: Add the user to the sudo/sudoers group. (Not sure which.) [02:46] BluesKaj: Yeah. [02:46] Which doesn't make sense. [02:47] Because the Windows PC is on a configured to share the printer. [02:47] can the windows pc see your linuxbox? [02:47] Dunno, I don't have anything shared on this machine. [02:48] ok [02:49] hiya all [02:49] hi, dmcglone [02:49] hey Nick [02:49] Kr4t05, did you setup the foomatic or whatever driver in the wizard , sometimes ppl forget that step [02:49] BluesKaj: Yes, I did. [02:50] pk [02:50] ok [02:50] It's a Lexmark z600 [02:50] The driver for which I installed already. [02:50] Lexmark. ewwww [02:50] I never h [02:50] > _______________________________________________ [02:50] > colug432 mailing list colug432@colug.net [02:50] > http://www.colug.net/mailman/listinfo/colug432 [02:50] oops [02:50] Nice. [02:50] I never had luck with lexmark printers [02:50] hmm lexmarks are notoriously undersupported on linux [02:51] Well, there are drivers, they were RPMs, which had to be converted to debs in the goofiest way possible. [02:51] But, it worked in Fiesty. [02:51] Does anyone here have Avant working under KDE? I just want to know if it's possible/not too painstaking... [02:51] Perhaps this is just another one of those notorious "upgrade hazards?" [02:51] I'm suprised you got a lexmark to work [02:52] adamonline45: If you don't mind messing with a metric butt-ton of GTK libs, yes, it does work. [02:52] so did you run alien in gutsy to "make" the driver [02:52] BluesKaj: No, It's a longer process. [02:52] Oh, wait. No... [02:52] It's a tar.gz that has RPMs inside, that are converted with alien. [02:53] wow [02:53] So, let me convert them in Gutsy. [02:53] Because, the DEBs I have now are ones I converted in Fiesty. [02:53] But, then again... [02:53] I don't see why that would be the problem. [02:54] Kr4t05: Ooh, yeah... That's what I figured... Are there any KDE-based apps like that that you know of? [02:54] Kiba-dock [02:54] It works about the same as Avant. [02:54] Some plusses, some minuses. [02:55] I used Kiba for the longest time, I only recently switched to Avant [02:55] !kiba-dock [02:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba-dock - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:55] !avant [02:55] Sorry, I don't know anything about avant - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [02:55] Kr4t05, it's odd but i had some hardware probs with x86 32bit gutsy , but when I decided on 64bit , the hardware probs , disappeared ....so far anyway :) [02:55] question: i can't get my hp 3550 printer to work with kubuntu. anyone help? [02:55] it's plugged in. test page produces a blank page. [02:56] have you installed the hpijs print drivers crackhead? [02:56] dmcglone: yeah hpijs is installed [02:56] it once printed a while back. then it stopped working somewhat unexpectedly one day. i dont knwo why [02:57] Ah well do you get any errors or anything? [02:57] nope [02:57] judging by your name i'll ask, is the printer on? LOL [02:57] crackhead_25, run the print wizard again ...the HP's are the most supported printers on kubuntu [02:58] BluesKaj: where do i find the print wizard? [02:58] is there a commandline? [02:58] need to make sure your not halucinating [02:58] LOL [02:59] in system settings/printers/addprinter/class [03:02] how do i download opera [03:02] BluesKaj: im running the wizard. let you know results ina min [03:02] BluesKaj: the wizard setup appears to be working. im having success with a test print page. [03:02] what does a person who broke his dpkg do? [03:03] let's see. hopefully it ifnishes fine. [03:03] crackhead_25, good [03:03] BluesKaj: if this works, you rock! you too dmc! :) [03:04] !util-linux [03:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about util-linux - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:05] !linux32 [03:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about linux32 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:06] !x86 [03:06] Sorry, I don't know anything about x86 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:06] awesome.. i think it worked.. ok, [03:06] BluesKaj: i have a second problem now.. maybe you will know how to fix.. [03:06] i have an external lacie hd, which will not mount.. it was mounting a while back, then suddenly stopped working one day too! [03:06] i know it has content and data on it, but it only shows up as an empty folder in the file explorer [03:07] crackhead_25, ntfs file system ? [03:08] yes, i think it is ntfs files system [03:08] hey [03:08] i put ntfs-3g on, so that i could read/write to it [03:08] and it was working for a while.. then one day it just stopped..d otn know why.. [03:08] oh mine [03:08] this place is Damn good [03:08] crackhead_25, i would also try ntfs-config [03:09] run that in a command line? and then what? [03:09] BluesKaj: can you open a private chat room or something with me ehre? it's easier to follow? can that happen with konversation here? [03:10] ntfs-config will give you read write permissions on the ntfs drive [03:10] but it resides in the kmenu , it's aGUI [03:11] BluesKaj: im not seeing it in the kmen [03:12] however, i' havent had any reason to use it on my setup , it may be redundant [03:12] you have to install it with adept or apt [03:14] how do i navigate to a directory in konsole [03:14] cd [03:14] BluesKaj: installed ntfs-config.. enabled write for both internal and external.. i dont think that has any effect on things.. [03:14] yea but like [03:14] i had write capability before.. [03:14] i dont know how to go pasat cd /home [03:14] i just can't see the external hd data now.. [03:15] cd /home/yourname/somedir [03:15] is there any wireless adaptor that consistantly works well in *ubuntu? if there is, i sure have not found it yet. [03:16] jmichaelx: intel [03:16] crackhead_25, yeah, it's a GUI for ntfs-3g [03:16] another problem [03:17] bazhang: but you can't just go out and buy an intel adaptor, can you? [03:17] im trying to download that flashplayer thiing [03:17] and it keeps saying "package not found" [03:17] jmichaelx: gutsy? [03:17] but im in the directory [03:17] BluesKaj: i installed and used it. it hasnt had any effect. it's only got two controls, it seems. two radio boxes to enable or disenable write support for internal and external drives.. [03:17] bazhang: huh? [03:18] jmichaelx: gutsy, feisty, dapper which version of kubuntu [03:18] bazhang: ahh, sorry. i am in gutsy, unfortunately [03:18] * genii sips a coffee and thinks about bitlocker [03:19] jmichaelx: which card do you have/or adaptor [03:19] bazhang: i had much better luck in feisty [03:19] genii, can you add any suggestions to crackhead_25's problem with read/write to an external HDD [03:19] bazhang: i had a bcm43xx.... but had a lot of problems, so i pulled it and replaced it with an rt2500 based card [03:20] BluesKaj: Consider me an observer tonight :) [03:20] ok :) [03:20] jmichaelx: that would be more problems imo; the bcm are so widespread that they are well supported in gutsy now [03:21] genii: flood averted? [03:21] genii: i'd love your help.. this is a really stubborn problem [03:21] bazhang: i could switch back... but with open source drivers, the speed for a bcm43xx card had been limited to 11Mbps... maybe that has changed [03:21] bazhang: No, water was ankle deep. But I shutoff the main water supply and repaired the pipes etc. Huge mess [03:22] genii: sorry to hear it--hope things are cleared up soon [03:22] bazhang: rt2500 is generall well-supported in linux (at least that has been my impression) [03:22] crackhead_25: OK, as I understand.. your external ntfs drive ... you can see it but not write? [03:22] no, i can't see it -- just an empty folder now [03:22] BluesKaj: So much for observation [03:22] jmichaelx: atheros has the best imo cards--the ralink cards are open source but poorly designed [03:23] sorry genii : ( [03:23] crackhead_25: What drive did it appear before eg: /dev/sdb1 or such, not /media name [03:23] jmichaelx: is this an external usb adapter? or a pcmcia card or internal one [03:23] BluesKaj: It's Ok I'm just bushed [03:24] i think it was /dev/sdb1.. though i actually never saw it in /etc/config [03:24] bazhang: i have thought about buying an atheros mini-pci card.. but was worried as i have a desktop with a pci atheros card.. and it, too had problems with kubuntu... i switched to slackware on that box and have had no more issues [03:24] bazhang: th ert2500 is mini-pci [03:24] genii, din't realize you had plumbing probs ...that makes it hard to concentrate :( [03:24] the rt2500* [03:24] jmichaelx: that is pci-e? [03:25] BluesKaj: At work, at home now but tired :) [03:25] crackhead_25: You familiar with pastebin? [03:25] is there such a thing as mini-pcie? [03:25] yeah [03:25] ill put up the etc/config.. [03:25] shall i? [03:25] crackhead_25: No [03:26] jmichaelx: I thought it was a very small card, smalller than pcmcia card even [03:26] crackhead_25: Please pastebin results of: sudo fdisk -l and also /etc/fstab also result of command: mount [03:26] fstab i mean [03:26] yeah [03:26] k [03:26] bazhang: mini-pci is not the same as pcmcia... mini-pci cards are used in many laptops [03:27] jmichaelx: so it is internal then? [03:27] mini-pci cards are installed inside the laptop... yes, it is internal [03:27] genii: http://pastebin.ca/807006 -- sudo fdisk [03:28] crackhead_25: sudo fdisk -l yes? -l part important [03:28] reading [03:28] genii: http://pastebin.ca/807007 -- etc/fstab [03:28] jmichaelx: I would suspect that the 11mb limit was a setting problem and not a hardware problem, either with the card or the router--did the bcm card reliably connect? [03:28] my experience with the buntus so far is that a card my work in one version, not in the next... but then work again in the next [03:29] http://pastebin.ca/807008 -- mount [03:29] bazhang: no, it was (and probably is) a problem with the OS bcm43xx driver [03:29] crackhead_25: OK, sdb1 looks like the one [03:29] jmichaelx: I had to leave kubuntu during fiesty my wireless was so bad--came back for gutsy though [03:30] genii: i added sdb1 to the fstab when it wasn't working [03:30] bazhang: that is the opposite from my experience [03:30] then i think i commented it out [03:30] lol [03:30] because it still wasn't working [03:30] hehe [03:30] it wasn't there to begin with, i dont think [03:31] crackhead_25: No worries. post here result of command: blkid|grep sdb and I'll give you a line to add to /etc/fstab for it [03:31] bazhang: i compiled and the legacy rt2500 driver (from serialmonkey) last night, and it is way better than the driver that ships with *buntu, but so far it still royally sucks [03:31] jmichaelx: this is way offtopic, but have you tried a live cd of another distro to see if the problem with the bcm card persists? [03:32] jmichaelx: I have had nothing but awful experiences with ralink cards (plural) [03:33] * genii sips his grapefruit juice and waits for the post [03:33] bazhang: as far as i know, the speed issue with bcm43xx-based cards is universal in linux when using th eOS driver... the only way around it is to use ndiswrapper... which is actually the route i should be taking with the rt2500 , too [03:33] genii: blk... -- http://pastebin.ca/807010 [03:33] bazhang: i have had nothing but great experience with ralink, when not using *ubuntu [03:34] crackhead_25: Bah. Need entire output, sorry. Just of: blkid [03:34] jmichaelx: well, that is a last resort ndiswarper that is, but if it works... [03:34] Or is it possible it has no uuid? [03:34] Hmm [03:34] bazhang: i know. i have learned some things, but am definitely far from a wireless wizard [03:34] genii: http://pastebin.ca/807011 -- blkid [03:35] jmichaelx: two weeks with ndiswarper and an external wireless card changed that for me..just wait you will be one soon :} [03:35] bazhang: this rt2500 card is working great when i'm at home, but i often cannot connect at coffee-shops , etc, even on completely unencrypted networks [03:36] jmichaelx: similar experience here, and as I do most of my blogging outside, a huge problem :{ [03:36] bazhang: you're probably right. i have never used ndiswrapper, and have never wanted to [03:36] ndiswaraper works great [03:36] crackhead_25: I was going to use the uuid of it to write the proper line. But it seems no uuids are on your ntfs drives at all [03:36] I prefer ndiswarper [03:37] bazhang: are you able to get on public access points using ndiswrapper? [03:37] for me, yeah [03:38] jmichaelx: mostly use my eeepc for that now, so have given up on that for the time being [03:38] eeepc? [03:38] * jmichaelx drools [03:38] haha [03:38] i bet your eeepc rocks [03:38] crackhead_25: Since no uuid we'll have to use the old /dev name.So into /etc/fstab, : /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 ntfs-3g defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0 1 [03:39] ndiswaper works better then that restricted driver thing in 7.10 [03:39] !eeepc [03:39] Sorry, I don't know anything about eeepc - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:39] crackhead_25: Then you need to make sure directory /media/sdb1 is there and if not, make it [03:39] www.eeeuser.com [03:39] maduser: ASUS Eee PC [03:39] ah that small thing [03:39] sorry for the spam [03:39] genii: ok, one sec.. can you explain the umask and gid meaning? [03:41] crackhead_25: Not really. I suppose I could google them for a full explanation. They are the defaults already in there for your other drives at the moment. [03:41] crackhead_25: The others read/write etc, yes? [03:41] maduser: i love gutsy except for two things.... the buntu devs seem to be (who am i to say) kind of wreckless when it comes to wireless (like packaging the VERY unstable beta rt2500 driver in gutsy, instead of the stable legacy driver) , and i still have an issue with USB drives not mounting upon booting up.. i have to unplug them, then plug them back in for them to mount [03:42] * genii sips a coffee and ponders why no UUIDs on those ntfs drives [03:42] genii: yeah, the others do, for the most part.. i think.. the others are internal drives.. [03:43] crackhead_25: Do you have Vista on that external? [03:43] genii: no, the external is just media data.. mp3, avi, movies, songs.. etc. [03:43] crackhead_25: Was it encrypted from inside Vista with Bitlocker? [03:44] no, never encryped, i dont think.. never used it on viista either.. [03:44] ok, added the dir in /media.. mkdir.. [03:44] now what? [03:46] crackhead_25: Try: mount -a then see if you can browse it from konq or dolphin [03:47] genii: mount -a ... http://pastebin.ca/807020 [03:47] check the results.. i dont know/think it worked.. [03:48] yeah, it didnt.. i dont see the contents within that folder in konquerer.. [03:49] crackhead_25: open back up /etc/fstab ... go to just past last letter on last line in that file and hit enter twice. then save it, retry mount -s [03:50] crackhead_25: mount -a rather [03:51] crackhead_25: Also your sdb1 will not mount at all until you chkdsk it from XP/2K whatever. It says filesystem is marked unclean [03:51] i never used it in windows.. should i plug it into my windows vista laptop and then run a chkdisk on it? [03:51] it's firewire external connected [03:52] crackhead_25: Yes, do that, chkdsk it then "Safely remove" it [03:52] Or alternately shutdown system properly before disconnecting it, etc [03:53] ok, be back in a few.. let you know when that's done.. may take a little while.. [03:53] np [03:53] you have an email? can you share in private chat or somethin? [03:54] crackhead_25: I avoid pm when possible [03:54] ok .. just dont go anywhere :) [03:54] * genii glues himself to the desk! [03:55] genii, next time I'm in TO , i'll treat you to big caffeine feast at starbucks or someting :) [03:55] din't think this was gonna such a big prob [03:55] BluesKaj: Yer on! [03:56] cool ! [03:56] BluesKaj: His drive is marked unclean, i bet it's whats been his headache all along [03:56] 'unclean' err that sounds serious [03:57] * genii shrieks and points his finger in horror! "UNCLEAN!" he shrieks again! [03:57] prolly needs a reformat [03:57] hehe [03:58] BluesKaj: Nah it just needs scandisk equivelent in xp/2k ..chkdsk [03:58] Infidel ! [03:58] windows machines call drives dirty if they have unix partitions on them [03:58] aha [03:58] it is true [03:58] genii: for some reason i cant get it plugged into my laptop. it was never plugged into the laptop. there is a 1394 plug socket, but it's not the correct size.. [03:59] windows thinks unix is dirty? [03:59] maduser: apparently [03:59] crackhead_25: Damn. Is it dual 1394/USB? [03:59] * BluesKaj has an unclean drive ...I'll wipe the drive with my left hand the next time :) [03:59] lol [04:00] yeah, probably [04:01] crackhead_25: If the drive can use both firewire and usb go srounge up a usb cord and use that then [04:01] *scrounge [04:02] genii: oh, no the firewire drive itself doesnt have a dual usb firewire.. [04:03] the port on the laptop is a dual usb/firewire socket.. [04:03] gateway convertible laptop [04:03] crackhead_25: Ah Ok. Well, I guess it will need to wait then for the time being. [04:03] I'm not much help here , so i'll hit the sack.. nite gents [04:03] its says there is some fix program for linux that could work? or will that reformat it? i can't reformat it. have to keep the data on it. [04:03] crackhead_25: But after you chkdsk it in Windows, should mount in linux anyhow [04:04] crackhead_25: I would NOT suggest messing with unclean ntfs from linux [04:04] ok [04:05] is there a similar "remove device safely" function in linux? could my having merely plugged and unplugged it from the linux a few times have caused the same uncleanliness? [04:07] crackhead_25: Please do command: locate ntfsfix and tell me if it finds it [04:07] didnt seem to find it [04:08] should i install it? [04:08] crackhead_25: OK. For external drives or drives which get removed sometimes a good option to make sure they sync before removing them [04:08] what is it? [04:08] how do i do that? [04:08] crackhead_25: ntfsfix is a part of linux-ntfs toolkit, just reading about it now [04:10] crackhead_25: to sync drives, just the command: sync by itself. Then you can umount /media/sdb1 with no half-copied files in buffer but not on drive, etc [04:11] damn kubuntu monitor settings is crazy and interfers with nvidia drivers-it says 53hz when its actually 60, i changed it to 50 hz and my refresh rate became 75hz as i wanted [04:12] genii: do you mean you have to do a commandline everytime you want to plug /unplug? isnt there a better way/a little applet to run in the toolbar or something? [04:12] crackhead_25: You can also alternately add option of nosync to the /etc/fstab line for sdb1 [04:12] ill have to look.. maybe.. [04:12] no sync? what would that do? maybe ill do that.. [04:13] crackhead_25: nosync means not to store/buffer data bound for drives which can be disconnected like usb/nfs etc [04:13] do i add that after gid=46? [04:14] crackhead_25: It writes anything immediately to drive so always marked clean if you umount it [04:14] crackhead_25: add it just after defaults [04:15] k, i did [04:15] since defaults includes sync the nosync overrides it if placed after [04:18] crackhead_25: Since you can't chkdsk it yet, there's not much more to be done for it tonight [04:20] * genii puts the coffeemug away and starts drinking milk out of the container [04:21] genii: ok, thanks.. ill be back to it soon.. see if i can get a little converter plug for the 1394 socket tomorrow maybe.. [04:22] crackhead_25: here time is nearing midnight. I'm normqally online daytimes here from about 9am til 4:45pm-ish Toronto EST [04:22] EST as well [04:22] Well 11:22 actually pm [04:23] crackhead_25: You can catch me almost any weekday then in those times, sometimes later from home like now as well [04:24] crackhead_25: If there's a Leafs game on expect lag :) [04:31] genii: fantastic. youve been a great help. thank you again [04:31] crackhead_25: You're welcome [04:33] !helpersnack > genii [04:37] is there any workaround for getting amarok to work properly with playlists that have http user/passwords embeded in them? [04:37] I have a di.fm premium subscription, and it's choking on the playlists. === tss_ is now known as Knightlust [04:44] e ai galera :D [04:46] Guys I need to decide in which format I should rip my music library. I have an iPod Nano 3g(not yet supported under Linux) but no iTunes, UIQ3 phone and Kubuntu? [04:46] I need music while I work with my computer and on the go. [04:47] What i want to do is to rip them and back them up on cds so that I don't have to rip again if something goes wrong and I lose my data [04:49] Neoxeekhrobe: Rip to flac, and convert to mp3 if you need it for a player. [04:50] yah but ripping again and again wont be that easy and flac takes a lot of space. [04:51] I'm trying to change my default sound-mixer slider to change the 'PCM' volume instead of the 'master' volume. Does anyone know how to do this in KDE? [04:52] oops, here's a how-to for gnome, but it uses gconftool-2, and I don't seem to have the target directories it specifies: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook#head-d374bb9e1b7183c133759a8c6877a34c50c4ba7d [04:53] adam: use kmixer [04:56] adamonline45: right-click on the kmix (speaker) icon in your system tray and click on Select Master Channel... [04:56] Neoxeekhrobe: Alright, I'll check it out. Do you mean KMix, or is that a separate application? oh okay [04:57] yah kmix [04:58] Jucato: I did that. I think I see what the problem is, it works if I change the volume from there now, thank you, but using my IR remote it still changes the Master volume instead of PCM. Do either of you know where I might find some conf file or something that'll let me change that? [04:58] the remote stuff has its own config files. :) [04:59] adamonline45: did you select PCM to be the Master Channel? [04:59] Dr_willis: Do you happen to know where I'd find that or what it's called? Even a guess? [04:59] Id say ask in #ubuntu-mythtv i bet they would know.. I found the remote i had.. lacking. so i dont use it any more. [05:00] Jucato: I did, yes. Now the slider on the sound icon in the taskbar works as expected, just the IR mote... [05:00] er, just the mote *doesn't. [05:00] its proberly somthing to do with 'lirc' [05:00] etc/lirc/lircd.conf [05:01] To find out how to get a proper configuration file please read:---> /usr/share/doc/lirc/README.Debian [05:02] Heh - what a good comment in a config file. [05:03] Dr_willis: Haha, nice! I think Samba does that... BRB, and thank you in case I'm too late to say it later...

[07:07] forevertheuni: no, it's a dns caching server [07:08] is there an option in kubuntu --> send to vt? [07:09] :( [07:09] lol [07:09] I used to use dhcpd [07:09] for example, i have two sessions open, one on f7 and the other on f9. i want to send an app to f9 without closing it [07:09] but that usually needs some reading in the config file [07:09] forevertheuni: basically it reads the local /etc/hosts and resolves every host in it for the local network. every other dns request is forwarded to the nameserver found in /etc/resolv.conf [07:09] screw it. i'll do it a different way [07:10] factorx, hmm but it uses the dns doors? [07:10] d03boy, i'm downloading the file...it is stupidilly slow [07:10] forevertheuni: u mean doors = ports? [07:10] oh yes.. [07:11] its 7am here [07:11] O.o [07:11] my eyes are lite. like that [07:11] yes, it does. because it can be used as a dns forwarder in a local network [07:12] it's perfect as a dns forwarder and dhcp server in a local network behind a dsl router or something [07:12] I was saying that [07:12] he has probably some other dns server running [07:12] dnsmasq...is still a server to lan's eyes [07:12] sure it is [07:13] I'm not saying its not [07:13] I was only trying to solve the dude's problem [07:13] :) [07:13] oic [07:14] if he's already running BIND or something dnsmasq is probably not the right choice [07:14] dont worry about it guys [07:14] too late [07:15] hey can any of you guys watch this video i made?

[07:23] maduser: it's most probably a spambot (seeing it is in so many channels, most probably saying the same thing) [07:24] (and it is also gone btw) [07:24] Can't we block spam bots? [07:25] we can. but only after they've spammed once. It's called a ban. :D [07:25] right [07:25] (and it's the same thing we use to deal with trolls and miscreants :D) [07:25] cool [07:29] if thats a spam bot... [07:35] i've found that by banning *mp3* channels, it's drastically cut down on the number of spam craps. [07:38] does anyone know if a panel applet to control amarok exists? [07:40] sigma: amarocker I think. you can probably find some in http://kde-apps.org [07:40] There's also the Media Control panel applet [07:41] !info kicker-applets [07:41] kicker-applets: applets for Kicker, the KDE panel. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 223 kB, installed size 888 kB [07:41] I think the Media Control applet is there [07:41] yep, Media Control can control Amarok [07:43] nice! Just yionked that info 8) [07:44] * Jucato also notes that Amarok has very useful Global keyboard shortcuts so you don't need to have a control applet.. [07:46] Jucato: I'd actually most like to use my macbook remote, but I think the signal gets hooked by the OS before it gets to amarok, as it's not responding (though I can bind the remote keys by pressing them in the binding menu) [07:47] My reall question, though, is if anyone has any information on installing the Domino style engine? [07:47] Jucato: Yup I know that - tried to get the next / prev track set to the + - volume buttons on my mouse - but when i press the mouse buttons it only adjusts the volume and not the track, where do i stop the mouse buttons from adjusting the audio? [07:48] * adamonline45 listens intently [07:50] sigma: that I don't know. sorry [07:51] (it's more of a mouse button-mapping problem I think) [07:51] sorry to disappoint you adamonline45 :) [07:51] adamonline45: what about Domino?

[07:55] Well, I'm installing it from source... is there a package? Anyway, I'm getting an error at the ./configure stage saying it can't find my X config... [07:56] Jucato: the error: checking for X... configure: error: Can't find X libraries. Please check your installation and add the correct paths! [07:56] !xincludes | adamonline45 [07:56] adamonline45: When a program or configure script asks for "X includes", you should probably install the following packages: xlibs-dev xlibs-static-dev xorg-dev [07:56] Lynoure: afaik, no... (or at least maybe not yet) [07:57] adamonline45: and there's a package for Kubuntu floating around somewhere in http://kde-look.org [07:57] is it true that feisty packages will not install in gutsy? [07:57] sigma: some do. [07:57] sigma: but it's recommended against. [07:58] That is: feel free to try, but don't expect people to be eager to help if it breaks something [07:58] Jucato: It says there's no package xlibs-dev... Or, that it's been obsoleted. :/ [07:59] i see, is it dangerous to install them? i know the graphics drivers don't work but thats understandable as they are rather crucial to the system [07:59] adamonline45: try xorg-dev. but I really do suggest you try to look for the .deb package first [08:00] sigma: What packege are you eyeing, specifically? [08:00] sigma: more "unrecommended" than dangerous. Some packages *might* cause severe problems, some might not. The question is, are you willing to risk it? :D [08:00] sigma: and are you talking about official feisty packages or stuff packaged by a 3rd party?

[08:02] * Jucato shrugs [08:03] me? [08:03] oh i thought you meant the deb package of xorg-dev... er, the one I couldn't get [08:03] Well, I'm installing it from source... is there a package? adamonline45: and there's a package for Kubuntu floating around somewhere in http://kde-look.org [08:04] ooh got you [08:04] alright, I only saw the source...

[08:42] ActionParsnip: I'm not running hardy [08:42] The flash version is good [08:42] ActionParsnip: Thanks :) [08:42] ardchoille: np man [08:43] ardchoille: does "sudo apt-get install pixfrogger" not work? [08:43] !info pixfrogger [08:43] Package pixfrogger does not exist in gutsy [08:43] ActionParsnip: Not in Gutsy :) [08:43] !bah [08:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about bah - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [08:43] !! [08:44] !info pixfrogger hardy [08:44] pixfrogger: help the frog cross the street. In component universe, is extra. Version 1.0-1 (hardy), package size 2183 kB, installed size 2504 kB [08:44] Well, nice to know it'll be there when I switch to hardy [08:44] backports? [08:44] I've been burned by backports, I won't use them [08:45] really doubt it's important enough to be backported [08:45] do u guys suggest i download gutsy gibbon or dapper drake? [08:45] pastryness: get gutsy [08:45] ok [08:45] See, it's in hardy but not in gutsy. So, someone who upgrades from gutsy to hardy via cli won't get it even though they are upgrading. [08:46] pastryness: Dapper is quite old now [08:47] dapper's only plus is that it's supported for a while yet [08:47] WHat's new in Hardy Heron? Gutsy hasn't been out too long [08:47] Are there any font packages? [08:47] ActionParsnip: that's how it works, six months between releases [08:47] oic cheers Daisuke_Ido [08:47] and as for kubuntu hardy, it's a lot of catching up to ubuntu [08:48] finally [08:48] I thought they were identical but the WM [08:48] ...yes BUT. [08:48] look at some of the things u got before k did [08:49] restricted driver manager [08:49] AWN [08:49] that's not what i'm talking about [08:49] AWN isn't part of ubuntu [08:49] oh okay [08:49] yeah [08:49] and it doesn't play nice with kde anyway :) [08:49] you have kiba-dock [08:49] yeah... So I learned 8) [08:50] while the only difference in the base system is the WM, there are app differences where kubuntu is still catching up [08:52] True, something made me steer clear of kiba-dock though... I forget what... Maybe I didn't feel like compiling from source or installing a bunch of dependencies or something, heheh... [08:54] adamonline45: http://taufanlubis.wordpress.com/2007/11/27/how-to-install-kiba-dock-in-ubuntu-gutsy/ [08:55] adamonline45: i think you can just change feisty for gutsy [08:56] Well, Hardy will be an LTS release too [08:57] where do i get the doc for kdevelop [08:57] kdevelop3-doc [08:57] or kdevelop-doc [08:58] apparle: Try this: apt-cache search appname [08:58] Or if you want to search only in names: apt-cache search --names-only appname [08:59] !moo [08:59] Sorry, I don't know anything about moo - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [09:00] How can I fix dual screen on kubuntu, I have drivers for a intell card (laptop), At least I think so, since glxgears will run at 320 fps. [09:00] yuri_: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/ubuntu-help/69638-setting-up-dual-screen.html [09:01] ActionParsnip: thanks [09:02] yuri_: ALWAYS backup your xorg.conf before playing with it :) [09:03] I feel that /etc/X11/xorg.conf is one of those files that the system installer should make a backup of during initial install [09:04] ActionParsnip: Yes, yes, I am a noob, but not that kind of one :) [09:04] thanx for the tip though. [09:04] yuri_: I advise everyone equally :D [09:04] ActionParsnip: I'm an opensuse user, trying to fix someone elses kubuntu laptop, I miss the SaX :) [09:06] yuri_: SaX? [09:07] ActionParsnip: it is a xorg front end for opensuse (I just realised it is a opensuse thing, and not shipped with other distros [09:07] ardchoille: tell me something which can be done on WIN XP [09:07] bash doesn't seem to be reading in /etc/profile or ~/.profile why is this ? [09:09] the resolution of my logo screen has changed what to do?? [09:10] apparle: what logo screen? [09:11] sorry logon screen [09:13] apparle: is it too low or too high? [09:13] apparle: n /etc/X11/xorg.conf, the first entry in the "modes" lines of the various Screen->Display subsections determines the default resolution for X. [09:13] ActionParsnip: I don't know. The screen seems to be compresses horizontally [09:14] apparle: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=151192 [09:15] can i start windows setup in kubuntu form the windows-CD?

Packages for Ubuntu are provided by the makers at http://www.virtualbox.org/ - Setup details at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/VirtualBox [09:19] ownedd: you can run it as a virtualbox. Is that what you meant? [09:20] no, i was thinking of a dual-boot. windows - kubuntu. [09:20] ActionParsnip:thanks I will try when I am home [09:20] good morning !

[09:25] it came with Kubuntu [09:25] i have kubuntu installed on my computer, and i want to run windows aswell (dual-boot). but my windows-cd is fckd so it doesnt start after i reboot my computer.

[09:26] james296: kubuntu doesn't ship with kbfx unless you're talking about hardy [09:26] ownedd: then you need a new windows cd to install on the spre space you set aside [09:26] use command: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/????/win.img bs=16M [09:26] after burn to other cdrom [09:26] well, Gutsy seems to have came w/ it cuz the configurator for it is on it... [09:27] Gutsy is full bugs [09:27] james296: What configurator? [09:27] CrocoJet: That's your opinion [09:27] ardchoille, I am getting lots .. only installation process [09:28] CrocoJet: I haven't seen one yet and I installed Gutsy when it was released [09:28] for KBFX [09:28] CrocoJet: so.. do something about it :) [09:28] james296: I mean where is the configurator? In kcontrol? System Settings? [09:29] yes in the K menu and Settings [09:29] i have the windows-CD but the only problem is that it doesnt start after i reboot my computer. and i dont have an win.img file :S [09:29] james296: I am using Gutsy and don't see anything about kbfx. Can you tell me exactly where in settings you are seeing this? [09:29] error with these files: libqt3-mt, kdelibs4c2a, adept-manager, adept-installer, adept-updater adept-notifier, adept-batch, adept, libk3b2, k3b, kdesudo, openoffice.org-kde [09:30] this happen in first process of update [09:30] ownedd, create one with command [09:30] maybe its because I have installed extras using gnome... [09:30] for Kubuntu [09:30] james296: :) [09:31] ownedd: is your bios set to boot from cd? [09:32] whats the smilie for? [09:32] You have it because you installed it, it doesn't come with Gutsy [09:33] ok [09:33] but its available in the repos, thats kinda what I meant, anyway, how can I get to use it? [09:34] james296: Although, kde4 will have 4 different types of menus to choose from. [09:34] ardchoille, did you make install flash plugin using konqueror ? [09:34] REALLY?? [09:34] no success here after install [09:34] ardchoille: I mean to say tell me how to get documentation for kdevelop without using linux commands> any download?? [09:34] getting lot window with signal 11 [09:34] about:plugins show that is ok, but flash do not run [09:34] anyway how can I use that menu? [09:36] james296: Right click the panel, choose Add applet to panel, find the applet and add it [09:36] apparle: I'm a cli type person, I don't know much about how to do things in gui [09:37] AHHH SWEET [09:37] that worked [09:37] apparle: installing -doc packages ought to do it [09:38] apparle: on linux one would install kdevelop-doc, but if not then go to kdevelop.org [09:38] jpatrick: I should have thought of that :) [09:38] and what is everyones opinion on the KBFX menu? [09:40] why install process always stop at 57% (bar progress) ? [09:40] james296: I personally don't like it [09:40] CrocoJet: it's installing the kernel at that point, iirc [09:41] no, because appear one window with error and I can click "OK" button [09:41] well I need to get to bed now bye [09:42] I have a problem getting flash to work. Because flashplugin-nonfree has wrong MD5 sums again I installed it manually by untaring the package and copying libflashplayer.so to my browsers plugin directories. But now this is what I get: http://s3.directupload.net/images/071206/uekxdbl6.png [09:42] factorx, I got same problem here [09:42] and no solution yet, I guess? [09:43] beginner here in Kubuntu ... was Fedora user [09:43] no idea [09:43] CrocoJet: did you restart your browser? [09:43] factorx: I think a fix has been uploade [09:43] yes [09:43] -d* [09:43] CrocoJet: do other sites work ok? [09:44] I did, ActionParsnip [09:44] jpatrick: where? [09:44] is my 5 re-install of KUBUNTU .. and edit source-list to change server [09:44] br.archive to archive [09:44] factorx: to hardy at least, might end up in gutsy-updates, dunno [09:45] CrocoJet: have you do "sudo apt-get update" [09:45] done*, ?* [09:45] jpatrick: I dont think so because flashplugin-nonfree is just a metapackage that downloads the plugin from the official adobe site. [09:45] jpatrick, yes, this update came automatic from adept [09:46] factorx: from changelog: "New upstream release 9,0,115,0 : md5sums in postinst updated" [09:46] CrocoJet: No, he meant that once you edit your sources list, you have to update the sources so the changes in the list can be had [09:46] ardchoille, yes I did [09:47] ok [09:47] jpatrick: that does not solve my problem, the only thing thats changed with that update, is, that I dont have to untar the file manually [09:47] I did edit after install of cd-rom ... reboot and adept made update process ... 171Mb downloads [09:48] I cant understand why I did one upgrade process .. because was installing kubuntu from zero, not from old version [09:49] big mess .. install of kubuntu [09:50] i solve problem with these error package install using "dpkg --configure -a" [09:51] ardchoille: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get distupgrade [09:51] CrocoJet: Care to pastebin your sources.list file so we can try and help? [09:51] !pastebin [09:51] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [09:51] backtrace do not get information when nspluginviwer failed [09:51] ActionParsnip: Why are you telling me? [09:51] Aranel, ok [09:52] ardchoille: i thought you said ok to the comment about updating sources.list [09:52] Oh, no, I was acknowledging CrocoJet [09:52] ardchoille: ok man nm :) === wiki is now known as wikiLinux [09:54] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47077/ (source-list) [09:56] CrocoJet: The only thing I can see is backports. You do realise that backports is a "use at your own risk" repo, right? [09:56] yes I saw, but I did not make any install from there [09:56] (program) [09:56] Ah, ok [09:56] CrocoJet: if you update you do [09:56] Ah, good catch jpatrick [09:57] * jpatrick is a backporter [09:57] ok, I will make new install of kubuntu .. without this backport active [09:57] Ok I found out that the flashplugin actually works in firefox, but in opera it does not. any ideas? [09:57] lets go .. brb in 30 min [09:57] CrocoJet: good luck [09:58] jpatrick: I'd love to use backports, but I don't think I'm smart enough to figure out how to solve the problems it caused me in the past yet. [09:58] ardchoille: funny thing is... I hardly have most of the problems others have.. [09:59] jpatrick: Well, you're a backporter, you can head the problems off before they become problems I think [10:00] ardchoille: nah, I just request backports for kde packages that take my fancy [10:03] like, right now, I'm doing tork === wpk is now known as bogiem === bogiem is now known as wpk === wpk is now known as mistrzem === mistrzem is now known as wpk [10:20] I am able to see a large amount of documentation for KDevelop but I want it to be avialable offline. How to get it [10:21] apparle: install kdevelop-doc [10:22] why after i enter to the cdrom the live cd of kubuntu and click on start and install its open a terminal called busybox [10:22] ? [10:22] jpatrick: I did that. But I didnt get anything === profoX_ is now known as profoX` [10:22] how i can continue [10:22] apparle: it's probably in /usr/share/docs/kdevelop [10:23] ardchoille: I have seen all the files that the package contains. I contains some .png files which are not at all usefull [10:25] someone can help me [10:25] kipseron: maybe?! [10:25] kipseron: what [10:25] i click on install in the live cd [10:25] and its open terminal [10:25] busybox [10:26] how i can continue the install [10:26] i dont think that should happen. [10:26] but its happend [10:26] if you click on the desktop icon for the install, [10:26] no [10:26] a graphical installation tool should run. [10:26] i enter the live cd [10:26] and click on start or install [10:26] so you are running Windows right now? [10:26] and the terminal busybox is open [10:26] yes [10:27] well, i would suggest you shutdown your computer and reboot using the live cd. [10:27] i do it [10:27] i reboot and start the live cd [10:27] the graphical install tool can resize your windows partitions in the unlikely case you want to keep it. [10:27] :-D [10:27] and click on start or install [10:27] and the terminal is up [10:27] right. [10:27] you dont understand [10:27] that may be the case ... :-D [10:27] i enter the cd [10:27] apparle: /usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/kdevelop [10:27] at boot time? [10:27] the live cd [10:28] yes [10:28] its open a menu [10:28] i click on the one option [10:28] start or install [10:28] and the terminal is open [10:28] i do not think you can "click" at this time. [10:28] the system dont show up [10:28] i can [10:28] do you mean "select"? [10:28] yes [10:28] and than, the boot hangs? [10:28] than=then [10:28] the system dont show [10:29] only [10:29] the busybox terminal [10:29] ok. [10:29] tough one. [10:29] you might have incompatible hardware. [10:29] no [10:29] ubuntu 7.04 [10:29] work very well [10:29] sometimes it happens that the ISO images are defective. [10:30] Did you burn your CD on your pwn? [10:30] yes [10:30] well, excuse for asking that: Did you use data mode? [10:30] forget that. [10:30] you see grub. [10:30] so, you did burn it alright. [10:31] so what the problem [10:31] well, my suggestion is: re-download the ISO image, check the md5sum, and then burn it to a new medium. [10:31] happened to me once. [10:31] i check the md5sum [10:31] before i burn it [10:31] but i try againg [10:31] again [10:31] who know [10:31] yes, thats why I said "burn to a different/new medium." [10:32] good luck.

[11:43] FlashWolf: gutsy [11:44] so, disable all 3rd party repos and enable the default [11:44] ok that worked but the program ran a error [11:44] and run that cmd [11:44] sigma: you need kommander to use .kmdr [11:44] poison--, do I need active some special repository for get this command or program called "ubuntu Restrited Extras" [11:44] sigma: the error? [11:45] MidMark: does that hav to be installed seperately? [11:45] no [11:45] you find under adept === toaster4623 is now known as neoxygen [11:45] after installed you can double click on any .kmdr file [11:45] just pay attention to the instalation, u need to accept some java stuff [11:45] ere4si: /home/sigma/Desktop/xrandr.kmdr: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `<' [11:45] FlashWolf: I was thinking of using Adept... is it as good as synaptic? [11:46] amit: sicerely, a rather synaptic. i disabled adept here [11:46] sudo apt-get install synaptic [11:46] sigma: here it works that file, install kommander :) [11:46] sigma: the script is prob wrong for your install - others here have relavant comments for that - I'd need to see the script [11:47] the script works under Gutsy ;) [11:47] sigma: do you have kommander? [11:47] ere4si: nope downloading it now! [11:47] k [11:47] MidMark: are you using gutsy? [11:47] yes I have said [11:48] FlashWolf: ubuntu doesn't use aptitude by default does it? cuz the debian guys are recommending aptitude these days [11:48] install kommander! [11:48] amit: ya, u can use aptitude too [11:49] but i dont knoe what is the defalut [11:49] *default [11:49] sigma: you tried to launch as normal bash script but it isn't, so why that error [11:50] FlashWolf: Kubuntu Gutsy is pretty buggy... [11:50] it works:) thanks MidMark and ere4si. just hope it works on my laptop [11:50] amit: i dont think so [11:50] well done! [11:51] i'm using and i'm liking it [11:51] amit: i find it more stable than Feisty with one huge load of bug fixes! [11:51] just some little bugs found so far [11:51] !aptitude [11:51] aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. Like other APT front-ends, it can install/remove packages and their dependencies (on Dapper and earlier, however, only aptitude keeps track of unused dependencies). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide [11:51] ok lemme go try it, i shall report back [11:51] k [11:52] sigma: feisty was that bad..eh? FlashWolf yeah agreed nothing prominent...except that virtual terminals thing [11:53] hey guys..is it safe to uninstall adept? [11:53] amit: just disable it [11:53] FlashWolf: disable as in? [11:53] or u can unninstall it and update your system via aptitude/apt-get upgrade [11:53] amit: na not really, i ordered the ubuntu cd first, then heard about kubuntu. for some reason when i got the kubuntu disk i had to re-format the pc about 5 times before it worked properly [12:02] do I need uncomment backport to get "kubuntu Restrited Extras" ? === desti_T2 is now known as desti [12:04] MidMark and ere4si, are u guys still there? i have a slight problem [12:05] help .. I need somebody help ... [12:05] ... not just anybody *sings* [12:05] lol [12:05] !ask [12:05] Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [12:06] how can I get "kubuntu-restricted-extras" from terminal ? [12:06] famous meta-package [12:06] why terminal? [12:06] sigma: ? [12:06] I want make install flash, java ... etc [12:07] not problem for me .. via terminal [12:07] but here "kubuntu-restricted-extras" is not avail [12:07] here yes, so probably you have to enable universe [12:07] !universe [12:07] The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu [12:07] do I need uncomment some repository ? [12:07] sorru it's in multiverse [12:07] !multiverse [12:08] MidMark, let me see [12:08] CrocoJet: add multiverse to your sources.list [12:08] i.e. uncomment it [12:08] then update & install [12:08] or just select it under adept [12:08] easier solution [12:08] mhja [12:09] ere4si: i got the program on my laptop, have it connected to the tv, but when i try add the svideo as the 2nd monitor (mirror) nothing happens, but i change the resolution of the laptops lcd that changes but the svideo soesn't activate [12:09] he wanted to use the terminal ;P [12:09] doesn't active [12:09] add multiverse .. but how ? [12:09] sigma: you're vid card needs the right driver it seems [12:09] CrocoJet: use adept! -> manage repositaries [12:10] let me see [12:10] !adept [12:10] adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto [12:11] sigma: lappy vid card is...? [12:11] ere4si: i have a ati radeon 9000 mobility using the xorg driver - theres no other driver i can use and it was said that driver supported tv out but you have to force detection in the xorg.conf - how do i do that? [12:11] ere4si: look above [12:11] k [12:11] damn .. no multiverse option to active [12:11] ops sorry [12:12] is active multiverse [12:12] but I cant find "kubuntu-restricted-extras" [12:12] crocojet: just get it from packages.ubuntu.com [12:13] got it .. finally !!! Ufa ! [12:13] ere4si: all the sites i went to say you have to force tv out detection in xorg.conf but none say how to do it [12:13] sigma: found a post on the forums [12:13] installing now [12:13] ere4si: whats the link? [12:15] sigma: here - http://ubuntu-utah.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=606540 [12:15] adept use different refresh repository than apt-get .. and aptitude [12:15] Evil !!! like say Mr. Bush !

[12:15] lol === reinhold is now known as reinhold_away [12:17] is installing .. pretty smooth now .. :) [12:17] thanks .. for all .. help [12:18] beginners are pain in the a** [12:18] ere4si: but that doesn't say how to force tv detection in xorg - its more about attaching a 2nd monitor to the laptop - i can already do that with no hassles [12:18] k [12:21] sigma: have you tried booting with the cable inserted? [12:22] sigma: the bottom comment links a patch that might work??? - http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-239347.html [12:22] sigma: maybe that helps?: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2007-October/029821.html [12:22] Option "TVDACLoadDetect" "TRUE" [12:22] hmm [12:22] it says ATI [12:22] :( [12:24] <_philipp> Hi all, what do u think of my idea to improve the usability of the trash bin: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153492 [12:24] or that: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/NVidia/TV-OUT [12:25] MidMark: yup tried that - still said it was disconnected, when i tried my external vga port just now that worked perfectly [12:26] Kohlrabi and ere4si: thanks for the links - im checking them out now [12:26] np [12:27] Kohlrabi: thats the command i wanted ! let me try it out [12:28] great :) [12:28] For a moment I thought you mentioned nVidida back then, but OK [12:30] okay. i have a 16x burner.. that used to come up to around 12x.. now that I have switched the computer to Kubuntu. it only goes up to around 1.5x with k3b. any ideas? [12:30] lol no its a ATI, i have a Nvidia in my desktop [12:30] ah. and its 16x dvd burning. [12:30] X314: ouch what make? [12:30] plextron I think [12:30] Plextor* [12:30] Plextor is great :D [12:31] X314: neva heard of it, what discs are you using? [12:31] x314: do you dtermine speed automatically? [12:31] maybe you can set the speed manually [12:31] TDK DVD-R ffp [12:31] or the media are bad, hm [12:32] X314: try a Verbatim 16x DVD [12:32] Kohlrabi: well.. tryed both.. but the software buffer is full. but the device buffer goes down. [12:32] X314: ok, I have a plextor myself, though I never burned with kubuntu [12:33] sigma: only have an old 4x DVD+RW verbatim [12:33] And I remember having issues with some media, though I don't remember if it were TDK's [12:33] Kohlrabi: tdk's always worked great for me [12:33] X314: ok :) [12:34] sigma: any luck with TV yet? [12:35] Kohlrabi and ere4si and MidMark: even after that addition to my Xorg.conf it still says the s-video is disconnected [12:35] i don't understand why it can see it but not use it? [12:36] ok hang on that website says it needs the ati driver and im using the "radeon" one, does that make a difference? [12:36] sigma: maybe that stuff form the wikibooks-link about nvidia/TV-out is also valid for ATI [12:36] sigma: maybe try fglrx [12:36] sigma: though fglrx will break compiz [12:36] (for now) [12:37] i.e. compiz won't work with fglrx [12:37] !ati [12:37] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [12:38] sigma? [12:39] Kohlrabi: fglrx no longer supports my card [12:39] if i lock my screen there are gl snowflakes in the background. where can i disable it ? [12:39] sigma: it's a long standing prob for that card - still searching [12:39] sigma: too bad :( [12:40] sigma: got a 8*** AIW? [12:40] or something? [12:41] oh my gosh i have a image on the tv:) [12:42] so I'm guessing I will have to live with it beeing slow for now? [12:43] sigma: how/ [12:43] *? [12:43] ere4si and Kohlrabi: i used the ati-xorg driver and that outputed a image on the tv but its rather garbled - how do i make it clear? it also can't play video's - can i make it do that somehow? [12:44] sigma: I don't know, sorry [12:44] sigma: found this - http://dir.filewatcher.com/-/?q=tv+out [12:44] great find :D [12:46] sorry tried that one! it doesn't work with my chip [12:46] well i guess this was the first attempt by the xorg team to get it working so it can only get better from here on in [12:47] hi, when I install kubuntu 7.10 I lose the start screen with the word "kubuntu" and under this word the bar of advancement..in Kubuntu 7.04 I had it..can you help me to have it in Gutsy? [12:49] sigma: being an older card you might be better with 6.04 lts version of the k/ubuntu's ? [12:50] ere4si: but thats so buggy compared to gutsy! is it possible to compile that fglrx driver for gutsy? i can get the driver from ati.com [12:51] sigma: what's your card's model? [12:51] sigma: I've never tried... [12:52] no offence - just curious - isn't kohlrabi a salad? [12:52] ere4si: kind of cabbage [12:53] knew it was healthy some way :) [12:53] I am!

[14:23] ActionParsnip: sudo mount only ?! or there are any arguments ? [14:23] that's probably bc your partition/disk is NTFS [14:23] isn't it ahmad?

[14:32] actionparsnip, nothing happens, maybe it's the mouse configuration in xorg-conf that's causing the problem, it's set to ImPS/2, i have a Genius 2 button with scroll PS2 optical mouse, wich other driver could be set to make some test??

[14:42] !eclipse [14:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about eclipse - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [14:42] hi [14:42] pteague_work: if apt says you need it, you need it [14:42] hi tko_ [14:42] ActionParsnip: so what did you get ? [14:43] why do i need ant & junit for eclipse? the only reason i need those is if i'm doing java development [14:43] pteague_work: stop aptitude from installing recommends [14:43] ahmad: does your drive pick up in the bios at power on? [14:43] ah, gotcha [14:43] pteague_work: aptitude installs recommends by default. use -R to stop that [14:44] ahmad: have you just taken the drive out of another pc and stuck it in your system [14:44] or use apt-get (which doesn't install recommends by default) [14:44] Folks,i have an question regarding installing soundcard on my notebook [14:45] ActionParsnip: i just installed this system after i removed mandriva .. and my system is latpop .. so i didn't stuck the hdd to it [14:45] hi, could you someone clarify this "developers plan on implementing a new strategy which will allow Kubuntu to catch-up with some of the functionality of Ubuntu" [14:45] tko: just ask the question. No need for a preface. :) [14:45] appeared on the kubuntu.org, regarding the herdy version [14:45] actionparsnip, i think it uses the one in /usr/share, i renamed it and rerun and asked for the config file, i pressed cancel and the same problem again [14:45] ActionParsnip: would you like me to reboot to check if the drive is picked in start up or not ?! [14:45] ahmad: ok so you are on a laptop with an internal hardrive that boots ok an you are trying to mount a usb hard drive [14:45] is ubuntu more funnctional than kubuntu and in what way? [14:45] ahmad: is that right] [14:46] actionparsnip: checking the xonfig file i see the only icon set in the dock, maybe i could add some other in the config file to see if apears [14:46] lol,thanks [14:46] i have an Lenovo 3000 n100, i know that there many tutorials in the net [14:46] with sharing folders is there away that when you share 1 folder the folders within that get shared aswell? [14:46] ActionParsnip: nooo .. i already can't read my internal hdd .. i read its name and can't access its contetns :( [14:46] ahmad: so you are running from the live cd? [14:47] actionparsnip: do you have installed kxdocker on youyr system?? if do could you send me your config file to see how kxdocker saves icon data in config file? [14:47] no .. from hdd [14:47] i installed the kubuntu itself from the alternate CD [14:47] xstat: I dont have it installed. I'd have figured renaming the config file would foce a fresh one to be created [14:47] Bandit12: If you are talking about changing the folder permissions to be readable by other users than just you, you can do a recursive change. -R from a command line. [14:48] ahmad: accept my chat offer [14:49] i have a music folder and when i put new stuff in i wanted that available across my home network automatically. [14:49] actionparsnip: yes, but the problem reappears, i really don't know where could be the problem at, but i know it can be solved, just don't know how :-S [14:49] ok, 29 new with 86.3mb is a bit more reasonable... still trying to install eclipse-source, junit & ant though :( ... hmm... i wonder if the 'eclipse' package is just a dependency package & really doesn't provide anything [14:49] xstat: try uninstalling then reinstalling [14:50] i think i already accepted !! [14:50] ahmad: so you have installed kubuntu to a laptop with a single hard drive [14:50] ahmad: where is the other drive if it is not usb [14:50] Bandit12: I think if you're sharing with samba, then folders within your shared folder should be shared to [14:50] it's recursive [14:50] actionparsnip, don't think the problem would get solved by that, i have installed it many times form sources now i'm using checkinstall to build and install it as a deb package to easely remove it [14:51] where can i find network printer support for kubuntu? [14:51] ActionParsnip: internal .. the HDD of the laptop !! [14:51] yep, looks like eclipse is just a bundle of dependencies... time to go dig [14:51] ahmad: so what is kubuntu installed to? [14:51] ActionParsnip: ahmad probably mens a partition then [14:51] ahmad: the same drive you cannot read? [14:51] ActionParsnip: yes [14:52] ahmad: ok do you have a seperate partition desired to store user data [14:52] OMG, I hope for you that you didn't ... [14:53] xstat: have you tried kibadock? [14:53] jembouge: wassup? [14:53] ActionParsnip: first i deleted the partition was holding the mantundiva from windows .. and then i installed the kubuntu over it - assumig that the setup will re-organize the partitions again as it likes - and then here i am [14:53] ActionParsnip: i even can't installa any programs .. i don't know whassup !! [14:54] I just wondered whether ahmad had "replaced" his ntfs partition by the linux one, yet wanted to keep it. [14:54] ok so you want to mount your windows partition? [14:54] yes [14:54] ahmad: why didnt you say that then? [14:54] because you did't ask what partition i want to mount !! [14:55] you were on about disks [14:55] ActionParsnip: do you already know the solution ?! [14:55] ahmad: took ages to realise you were on a laptop [14:55] ActionParsnip: please be nice. [14:55] actionparsnip, yes i have installed it once, but i have solved many installation problems, i think this is the last to solve [14:56] ahmad: ok so you have a windows partiotion you would like to access from kubuntu [14:56] ActionParsnip: i am on a laptop .. i have 1 hdd .. i have windows XP on separate partition .. and other 2 partitions .. i want to mount the 3 partitions [14:56] xstat: short of reinstalling and renaming the profiles i'm pretty stumped [14:56] ActionParsnip: i wish it is clear by now ! [14:56] xstat: sorry :( [14:56] ahmad: ok cool, gimme a sec [14:57] ahmad: probably easiest done by useing the mount config in systemsettings->advanced->disks and partitions [14:57] actionparsnip thank you anyway you had helped me a lot [14:57] ahmad: sudo fdisk -l [14:58] ahmad: this will show you which partition your windows is on as 1 will be ntfs [14:58] ahmad: this will help loads [14:58] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/mountwindows [14:58] ActionParsnip: mount config is a ton easier than all that CLI stuff. [14:58] nosrednaekim: fair point [14:59] Question :: can i mount a NTFS from kubuntu !? [14:59] nosrednaekim: Looks like you drove them off LOL [14:59] ahmad: yes [15:00] * genii puts on another pot of coffee [15:00] genii: mention GUIs and everyone scatters and goes to look at the pretty tool :D === [GuS] is now known as |GuS| [15:00] it gived me error [15:00] ahmad: ehat did. [15:00] *what [15:01] ahmad yes, you need one command line to do so [15:01] Wait, Linux has a gui? [15:01] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47100/ [15:01] ahmad: and the name of the device you want to mount [15:01] hi [15:01] i tried it from the system settings [15:01] the system seems to go unstable [15:02] hi, how do i release and renew my ip for dhcp (kubuntu gutsy)? [15:02] i have also thin error when i try to close dolphin [15:02] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47101/ [15:03] i don't know what is happening :'( [15:03] ahmad: unmount that ntfs drive [15:03] me neither, this is really weird.. [15:04] so tell me, did you install kubuntu or are you just running from the cd? [15:04] kub^: "sudo dhclient " [15:04] nosrednaekim thanks :) [15:05] dane: hi, what's up? [15:05] ahmad, " sudo chown ahmad:ahmad /home/ahmad/.kde/share/apps/d3lphin/bookmarks.xml " should solve that dolphin bookmark issue [15:05] ahmad: that's a known bug with kdesudo [15:05] follow what pag said [15:06] (and check if there are updates available because I think this has been fixed already) [15:06] ahmad: I see your problem, you uncleanly shut down windows while that drive was mounted. you need to boot windows to recover the journal and then shut-down cleanly. [15:07] so what are the steps now ?! [15:07] nosrednaekim: to which problem are you referring to? [15:07] ahmad: boot windows, then cleanly shut down [15:07] Jucato: his hard drive mount error [15:07] ah ok [15:07] Good thing I have finally a fast machine. Now I'd like to try KDE 4. But will there be a conflict between qts and skype? [15:07] not the kdesudo/d3lphin error then :P [15:08] nah.... I stay clear of kdesudo errors :D [15:08] ok .. meet you after 15 mins .. i didn't turn off windows since ages :D [15:08] !wifi [15:08] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs === ubuntu is now known as jojo54fr === ola_ is now known as Aartix003 [15:23] v [15:23] w [15:26] vdub [15:34] hello people, i'm trying to get workin kxdocker on kubuntu gutsy, does anyone successfuly installed kxdocker??

[15:41] BluesKaj: heh.. [15:42] zvezdichko: if its from svn/source, just recompile [15:42] yeah, tried twice to get those kde4 instructions to work , but no dice .. obviously doing something wrong , but I can't be bothered to find out : ) [15:42] BluesKaj: heh...

[15:48] kppp's the wrong app [15:48] Jucato: yeah, but I told him earilier that KPP coulddo it [15:49] ah [15:49] why does the search feature in konqueror not work? [15:49] aaaah [15:49] what search feature? [15:49] ok so it is command line only [15:49] good [15:49] alesan: yep [15:49] pppoeconf [15:49] er...sudo pppoeconf [15:50] I have to tell my girlfriend in europe how to setup the connection [15:50] sigma, do you mean strigi or locate ? [15:50] she's now gone to buy a ethernet cable [15:50] oh.. [15:50] press ctrl+f in a konqueror window, that feature - whatever i type in it never finds anything [15:50] about me... you know, I feel like knetworkmanager sucks regarding wireless connections [15:51] now I cannot connect with any WPA network, only "free" ones [15:51] High everyone. I'm seriously struggling to find a way to increase the amount of RAM Java allocates to my browser. [15:51] yeah, knetworkmangler has problems [15:51] any idea how to reset knetworkmanager or some other component? [15:51] Can anyone help? [15:51] sigma: while browsing web pages? yes sometimes it doesn't work. I don't know why. I think perhaps it has to do something with the web page itself [15:51] alesan: the cuases vary wildly. [15:51] any better wifi manager I can install? now I am connected with a ethernet cable [15:52] alesan: for wpa? yeah, there are a couple [15:52] * Jucato is lucky to be using only WEP at home... no problems there [15:53] hi everyone [15:53] * nosrednaekim lives so far out in the middle of nowhere that he leaves it open [15:53] hi denn: [15:53] alesan: the names are escaping me ATM [15:53] Jucato: no while searching my hdd, im at a folder with files which start with the word alien, but if i open the find bar and type in alien then click find nothing happens - it don't find anything even though there are files with that word in the name there [15:53] sigma: aaah that [15:54] it uses regular expressions (I know, annoying...) [15:54] try alien* [15:55] oh my gosh, lol. they go all the way to make a gui to search and it still needs regular expressions to work:) [15:56] find is a pretty GUI frontend to "find" and "grep" === thiago is now known as chandeller [15:57] thanks, its working well now, it should tell people that in the find bar or add the star in at the end automatically [15:57] sigma: but what if people want an exact match? [15:57] (reg exp are actually very powerful... once you know even just the basics....) [15:58] nosrednaekim: the actual problem is that kfind doesn't really tell the user in an obvious manner that it requires regexp [15:58] nosrednaekim: good point! [15:58] hmmm yeah,it really should. [15:58] ya thats it Jucato [15:58] or it should "scale" to both...accepting reg exp and non-reg exp... [15:59] dunno if that's even possible though :) [15:59] * Jucato goes back to studying [15:59] there should be a one line hint above the search bar giving an example of how to enter the variable [15:59] maybe its fixed in kde4 [15:59] (or gone... dunno :P) [15:59] anyone with xinerama? testers needed for qt 4 [16:00] The petition!!!!! http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/mainactor/index.html [16:00] sigma: oh Dolphin works on filters, but only for the current directory (same as filters in Konqueror) [16:01] lol, i test drove konqueror on a kde4 live cd, its great, looks so much better. i still don't like dolphin, seems to be lacking functionality. i still say kde should use konq for file browsing and firefox for web browsing [16:02] sigma: that last part is impossible :) [16:03] Jucato: why you say that - how come its possible for gnome to do it but not kde? [16:03] GNOME's default web browser isn't Firefox [16:03] Jucato: what are you studying? [16:03] C++ [16:03] sigma: Use of a non-KDE component is up to the distros; it's out of KDE's hands. [16:04] SSJ_GZ: although what he's saying is that KDE itself should use Firefox as KDE's browser [16:04] Jucato: i'm trying to learn SIP so I can make a python linking to the qt pictureflow widget [16:04] sigma: one good reason is that a KDE browser would need to use KDE :) [16:05] Jucato: good point! but why is firefox the norm in ubuntu and not kubuntu? [16:06] sigma: firefox is gtk based and loads a shitload of libs. and that comsumes memory [16:06] sigma: because firefox is written in gtk, which is what gnome uses [16:06] sigma: that's for distros to decide. nothing to do with GNOME or KDE actually [16:07] nosrednaekim: It's a bit of a stretch to say Firefox is "written in GTK" but yes, it currently uses GTK as its toolkit on Linux. [16:08] yeah.. [16:08] well i use firefox, the only extra lib i had to install was libstdcc++5 to install it, can't say its consuming that much more memory [16:09] is there any way just to remove the web browsing part of konqueror? [16:09] sigma: you probably had already installed other gtk apps. [16:09] just don't use it [16:09] the web browsing part of Konqueror (KHTML) is used in other KDE apps to. it's a core library [16:10] nope firefox was the first one [16:10] oh ok i see, better not fiddle with that one! [16:11] all the other dep's except that one lib were pre-installed on my system [16:11] does anyone know if theres a .deb package for the vdrift racing game? [16:12] !info vdrift [16:12] what package enables slideshow in konqueror? [16:12] Package vdrift does not exist in gutsy [16:12] HEy. [16:12] hey Insurgent [16:12] Can someone help me out? [16:12] i checked packages.ubuntu.com - it wasn't there [16:12] I'm trying to update and it isn't working [16:12] Insurgent: whats the problem [16:12] whats the problem? [16:12] sigma: try www.getdeb.net [16:13] will do, thanks [16:13] mot_: what slideshow do you mean? [16:13] nosrednaekim, during update i get a 404 on "http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz" [16:13] i hate building from source [16:13] Jucato, slideshow view [16:13] * Jucato loves compiling... [16:13] It's in trying to compile to kubuntu 7.4 [16:13] It's in trying to compile to kubuntu 7.04 [16:13] * Jucato has never seen a slideshow view [16:13] Insurgent: compile? [16:14] Err [16:14] upgrade* [16:14] I'm not at all with it today. [16:14] mot_: kipi-plugins [16:14] Insurgent: you're trying to upgrade to 7.04? then remove that line. [16:14] llutz: in Konqueror? [16:14] Remove what line? [16:14] Jucato: iirc uses konqi some kio-slave to use those plugins too [16:14] from your /etc/apt/sources.list.... the line that has the kubuntu URL in ir. [16:14] *it [16:15] nosrednaekim, okay. [16:15] Thanks [16:15] llutz: I don't think Konqueror uses any kipi stuff at all [16:15] hey i didnt know that getdeb.net was owned by canonical [16:15] llutz, nogo, i already have that installed and it's not doing the trick. [16:15] perhaps Gwenview, Digikam or Krita [16:15] why is it then not in packages.ubuntu.com? [16:15] Arg. [16:15] sigma: unsuppoerted games mostly. [16:15] O.o [16:15] Don't you hate it when packages are not kept up to date? [16:15] Like older versions of software. [16:16] Insurgent: they are in the unstable release [16:16] jpatrick: lol, he's all the way back on edgy [16:16] jpatrick, ? [16:16] oh i see [16:16] Insurgent: if you're on edgy no wonder... [16:16] sigma: where did you get the idea that getdeb is owned by canonical? [16:17] jpatrick, hmm? [16:17] Insurgent: the archives are frozen from updated packages after the release [16:17] © 2007 Canonical Ltd. Ubuntu and Canonical are registered trademarks of Canonical Ltd. [16:17] jpatrick, do when i update will packages update? [16:17] sigma: yes. Canonical owns Canonical and Ubuntu :D [16:17] Insurgent: nop [16:17] sigma: it doesn't say that getdeb is owned by Canonical does it? :D [16:17] but why does that appear at the bottom of the getdeb website? [16:18] Insurgent: unless you upgrade to a newer release [16:18] sigma: it's a copyright notification. :) [16:18] jpatrick, How do i do this? [16:18] probably because they use Ubuntu and Ubuntu logos [16:18] and that site looks alot like the canonical + ubuntu sites [16:18] !upgrade | Insurgent [16:18] Insurgent: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [16:18] thanks [16:18] perhaps canonical sponsored the hosting + bandwidth or something [16:18] sigma: that's irrelevant. the drupal theme used for the Ubuntu websites are freely and openy available :) [16:18] sigma: not even :) [16:20] oh ok, i dont get why vdrift is not in the repo's - its such a cool game, better than torcs that is there === JackAway is now known as JackWinter [16:20] sigma: tie, manpower, no one has done it yet? there can be many reasons why [16:20] (usuallyanpower and time) [16:20] er.. "man power" [16:22] well there is a feisty version available, would that possibly work on gutsy? [16:22] Please help. I've screwed something up and figure out what happened. I followed the instructions for disabling tapping on my touchpad while typing [16:22] then I lost tapping completely. [16:23] so I deleted the script [16:23] and removed the entry to xorg.conf to return the system to how it was before [16:23] and now I have no touchpad functionality at all when logged into X [16:24] I do have touchpad when signing into the initial session [16:24] I think reconfiguring the X server might help [16:24] vara: you should run that reconfigure xorg command [16:24] lesson: always have a backup of your xorg.conf! [16:24] please tell me how to do that! (run the reconfigure command) [16:25] does anyone know the command off hand? i forgot it [16:25] yeah (bashes head against wall) - backup! kicking myself now [16:25] sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [16:25] don't worry i learnt the hard way - had to re-install [16:25] I plugged in a usb mouse and it works fine - so it's just the touchpad [16:26] hello [16:26] i love my compiz cube, yesterday i put one video in each window and played them in full screen, then i rotated the cube and they were all playing super-smoothly! [16:27] vara: ya then its just a reconfigure that you need [16:27] OK, thanks...trying it now [16:27] check the /etc/X11 folder, sometimes it makes a backup there [16:27] OK [16:28] can compiz not show window contents while moving windows? [16:29] jpapas: ask man [16:30] sigma: sure it can [16:30] and why does klipper disapear when im using compiz? [16:30] trappist: how? im using kwin with compiz [16:33] back in a sec - gotta restart X [16:33] sigma: I don't even know how you're doing that [16:33] trappist: lol i just didnt install emerald, and its working perfectly [16:39] kubuntu français ?

Any suggestions , cuz I havent found any fixes anywhere. [16:48] Can someone let me know how to get kwin working with compiz? Is it even possible? [16:48] yes!!!, I'm just starting the reconfigure process... [16:48] Walkboss: no, you have to replace kwin with compiz with "compiz --replace" [16:49] jpatrick, my window decorations disappear when I run that. [16:49] Walkboss: installed compiz-kde ? [16:49] Walkboss: have you installed emerald and compiz-kde? [16:50] Not emerald [16:50] hi [16:50] Do I also need emerald-themes? [16:50] yep [16:50] shouldn't *need* emerald, but it's another window decorator [16:50] I needed emerald here [16:50] (probably better than the one in compiz-kde) [16:51] What is the package name? [16:51] Package emerald-themes has no installation candidate [16:51] emerald or compiz-kde?

[20:09] and now I get an error every time when I *close* this window (for the rest it works fine) [20:09] want to ask about possibility and compatibility between compiz and ATI display card ??? [20:09] can I copy/paste this error here? [20:09] no i did not upgrade [20:10] !paste | podr0znik [20:10] podr0znik: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) [20:10] podr0znik, dolphin is hopeless, why not switch back to konqueror and uninstall dolphin? [20:10] i fear of having trouble with the upgrade [20:10] sigma, I hate konqueror as an internet browser but as local browser it should be fine actually [20:11] mehdi: you'll be surprised, its alot more stable than feisty, with lots of bug fixes === antolin is now known as antolin_ === antolin_ is now known as antolin [20:11] ScorpKing, thank you for the explanation, makes sense [20:11] np [20:11] podr0znik, dolphin isn't a internet browser, just use firefox for internet browsing [20:11] sigma, of course :) [20:12] sigma do i have to have a specific source list to upgrade to 7.10 ??? [20:12] do I just change it in settings somehow that default file browser is konqueror instead of dolphin? [20:12] mehdi, i don't believe in physically upgrading, i just format and re-install, helps to avoid issues [20:13] podr0znik, yup let me walk you through it, do u know how to get into the kde control center? [20:13] ahha ok you are right ...sigma [20:13] just the system settings you mean? [20:13] I'm there now [20:13] sigma do you think that s no problem between ATI dsiplay card and compiz ?? [20:14] podr0znik, nope rather use the control center, click run command and type in kcontrol [20:14] ok [20:14] mehdi: well honestly i haven't been impressed with ati driver support in ubuntu [20:15] which card do u have? [20:15] <_ede_> join #kubuntu-devel [20:15] aha so i dont have to try that so ? sigma [20:15] podr0znik, click on "kde components", then "file associations" [20:16] mehdi: always worth a try [20:16] podr0znik, did u get there - its on the left hand menu [20:16] d [20:16] thx sigma [20:16] mehdi: no prob [20:16] where are you from sigma ??? [20:16] i m from Tunisia [20:17] mehdi: south africa, land of mark shuttleworth:) [20:17] erm, should I know him? [20:17] podr0znik, ok click on "inode" and then directory [20:17] ah ok, the rest is clear I think [20:17] sigma ah ok welll we are from the same continent [20:17] move konqueror up and done? [20:17] Africa [20:18] podr0znik, then on the left move konq up or just remove dolphin [20:18] mehdi: where did u hear about kubuntu? [20:18] podr0znik, you need to do it for system_directory in inode as well [20:18] ok, problem solved - no error in konqueror [20:19] a freind tell me about it , and i studie a linux module [20:19] in system_directory there is no Dolphin anymore already [20:19] theu use Fedora in my university but i choose Kubuntu [20:19] podr0znik, oh ok, just to be safe you may want to remove dolphin from add remove programs [20:19] you know what, this kubuntu is really so intuitional... [20:20] but some things are difficult to find without help [20:20] sigma ok have to go to try that thing [20:20] mehdi: i see, interesting [20:20] sigma thx [20:20] I just installed Skype, I remember how I was fighting with that in 7.04 [20:20] now it's 3 mouse clicks :) [20:20] podr0znik, yup its all there you just need to find it [20:20] lol [20:21] a friend has a laptop with a broken port, Windows was having system jams (of course!) [20:21] I told her - are you surprised about that? [20:21] I told her to run kubuntu once from cd... while booting there was a text "Something bad happened." and the system just went on as if nothing happened ;) [20:21] as linux gets more popular, more apps will become linux friendly, its happening with the games already [20:22] indeed [20:22] and I think (k)ubuntu are doing a big job there [20:22] 'cause this is exactly how to make linux popular [20:22] (I mean - for the non IT-people) [20:22] podr0znik, sometimes it doesn't work with laptops, they are very picky [20:22] people are just scared that they can't manage with linux, then when I show them kubuntu they are amazed that it works easier than Windows [20:22] indeed [20:23] podr0znik, yup especially with mark shuttleworth behind it gives the project huge amounts of leverage because of the respect he has in the IT industry [20:24] podr0znik, people will always complain, especially because its free [20:24] ok, so now I know that I indeed SHOULD know Mark Shuttleworth [20:24] lol he did fund the creation of your OS after all [20:24] I did not pay any attention to Mr. Shuttleworth before Ubuntu [20:25] I was doing the MCSE study someday and the teacher was telling me bs that linux was more expensive than Windows because it demanded more hours of work for system administrators [20:25] but hey, he was paid by Microsoft to say that of course ;) [20:25] Lynoure: to be honest i never knew he existed even after he made his billions [20:25] i heard about his when he went into space [20:26] podr0znik, lol yup they are rather scared because linux isn't that toy it used to be, nows its a serious hard working operating system [20:27] how do i check my graphics card? [20:27] pastryness: what exactly do u want to know about it? [20:27] what it is :< [20:27] i dont know what my graphics card is [20:27] pastryness: try lspci [20:28] sweet thanks [20:28] hello [20:28] i downloaded some manuals from the shuttleworth organisation - it teaches linux from the command line up - things click faster when you learn it that way [20:29] but i hear hardy is getting pretty much a full facelift (in ubuntu not too sure about kubuntu) so it seems one step further towards a completely user friendly OS [20:30] sigma, I think so too that it would still be good to learn the command line stuff [20:31] yup its the only way to fully understand it [20:31] anyway, I have another small issue, maybe you also have a suggestion for that [20:31] I copied back all my documents, including a number of spreadsheets which I use very often, and after the clean install to 7.10 the fonts changed drastically [20:31] commandline is not necessarily used-infriedly... let's e.g. compare lspci there with finding the same info in gui... [20:31] after all, the GUI apps in kde and Gnome all operate directly some way or the other off the command line [20:31] s/infriedly/unfriendly [20:31] very small letters I have now, while the documents' size is bigger (doesn't fit on A4 anymore) [20:31] good point [20:32] sigma, indeed, that's why it's GUI [20:32] lol [20:32] now back 2 your problem === OFFICE\tc is now known as tchough [20:33] did you have any fonts installed in 7.04 that you didn't re-install in 7.10 [20:33] nothing what was not standard in 7.04 [20:33] but I must say I was always using the font "Verdana' [20:33] I got used to it in Windows and kept using it, although I'm not sure if 7.04 had that font at all [20:33] now back 2 your proble [20:33] ignore that [20:34] hi [20:34] hmmm ya you may want to install that font [20:34] how do i enable compisiting in kde4? [20:34] hi vincent, got a question? [20:34] vincent_ you mean compiz fusion (desktop effects)? [20:34] no [20:35] i mean kwin4 [20:35] oh sorry didnt see kde4 [20:36] hmmm not too sure, very few have tried kde4, when i did i couldn't enable them, rather wait for the final release [20:36] 11 jan i think [20:36] podr0znik: did installing the font work for you? [20:36] vincent_: there is an option [20:36] sigma, trying to find out how to do it ;) [20:37] vincent_: in systemSettings->Desktop or SystemSettings->Windows i think, lemme see [20:37] it's worth trying if you want to port something to it... other than that, it's either too late or too early. [20:37] (too late to get it change much, too early for it to be fun to use) [20:37] podr0znik: just use the font installer in system settings or kcontrol, make sure you install it as a system-wide font [20:38] vincent_: its in SystemSettings->Appearance->Windows [20:38] emilsedgh: i went there but it was greyed out [20:38] oh sorry [20:38] its in systemsettings->Desktop [20:39] 'Enable Desktop Effects' [20:39] emilsedgh: are they like the compiz fusion effects? [20:39] sigma, I'm in there now, I see many fonts and a button "Add fonts..." [20:39] that button makes me search on my system for a font [20:39] sigma: they are good, you have expose, explode, zoom and many others, but they are not that chunky-munky yet! [20:39] lol [20:39] podr0znik hang on a sec, im going in there [20:40] thx :) [20:40] emilsedgh: cant find it [20:40] podr0znik: wouldn't it be fixed by letting him install the msttcorefonts package? === powerpigeon is now known as pigeon336 === pigeon336 is now known as powerpigeon [20:40] podr0znik: click on administrator mode, then add fonts, then search for it and install it [20:41] vincent_: run this: kcmshell4 kwincompositing [20:41] you'll have to login as admin of course:) [20:41] yes, and the font must be on the hard disk I suppose [20:41] emilsedgh: sounds good, is there anything like the compiz cube? i like compiz but it doesn't gel too well in kwin [20:42] sigma: no, there is another effect for viewing all desktops, but no thats not like Cube [20:42] podr0znik: nope it will copy it to the right folder, so off removable media is fine as well [20:42] ok, let me try to find it online [20:42] emilsedgh: ah ok what does that effect do? [20:43] emilsedgh: what graphics card did u use and did u use kubuntu on kde4? [20:43] sigma: shows all desktops altogether! there are many videos in youtube showin kwin compositing (but they are old) [20:43] emilsedgh: ah i see [20:43] sigma: im on an intel graphic card, and im on kubuntu but from svn, not packages [20:44] podr0znik: you should just keep it as a backup, i keep all the ms fonts (only thing i have left from windows) [20:44] emilsedgh: i tried the opensuse live cd, didnt work 2well. not sure if that should surprise me or not:) [20:45] so a MS font can be used for linux also, that's nice :) [20:45] sigma: dont except that much for 4.0 [20:45] I didn't have this issue before, so that's why I don't have the ms-font somewhere stored [20:45] podr0znik: yup any true type font and some other types too [20:46] cool [20:46] emilsedgh: why u say that? i like the oxygen theme the best [20:46] sigma: the theme is a minor part of it all... [20:47] sigma: oxygen theme has many issues and kde4 is not the oxygen theme! there are many parts, maybe oxygen is 1/10 [20:47] hm, an .exe file? [20:47] weird [20:47] emilsedgh: always good to know:) the new amarok looks cool and so does konquerro, i still prefer it over dolphin as file manager [20:48] podr0znik: what a font as a exe file? [20:48] how do i check the size of my video card? [20:48] i dont know how big it is :< [20:48] yeah [20:48] pastryness: What line did you get from lspci for it? [20:48] 4x6.5 [20:48] j/k === devinus_ is now known as devinus [20:49] nVidia Corporation NV4 [RIVA TNT] [20:49] sigma: the New amarok is yes, good, and Konqueror hm, there are changes that i dont like on it, but i am hoping for post 4.0 releases :) [20:49] podr0znik: maybe its one of those self extracting files. or a virus, but then again you are on linux so no worries [20:49] Paste bin the results so some one can look at it. [20:49] podr0znik: is there no windows pc around that you can swipe it off? [20:50] emilsedgh: do u use konqueror for web browsing? [20:50] sigma: yes.i cant look at firefox! [20:51] emilsedgh: whats wrong with firefox? i dont like how konq draws webpages [20:51] pastryness: that's all? It's a quite old card, then... [20:51] sigma: web browsing mode is good,khtml is improved, but filemanagement mode is a little bit weak...but not changed so much [20:51] no, no such computer here :) [20:51] but I'll be fine [20:51] If konq has (no script) like ff i would ditch ff in a heart beat. [20:51] pastryness: late 90s, huh? [20:52] podr0znik: well when you come across one just copy it from the \windows\font folder [20:52] sigma: for me, khtml renders better than gecko and i see many sites that gecko cannot render but khtml does.there is only gmail and yahoo and 1-2 like them, but i use kmail.also konqueror is superfast and light.firefox is heavy and slow.eats my memory! [20:52] pastryness: 16MB, in that case, probably. [20:52] hy, I selected all kde4 packagees [20:52] and tried to install them [20:52] but I get errors [20:53] Unpacking kde4base-data (from .../kde4base-data_3.94.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb) ... [20:53] dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kde4base-data_3.94.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb (--unpack): [20:53] trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/services/kuiserver.desktop', which is also in package kdebase-runtime-data [20:53] emilsedgh: everyone says firefox is heavy, i don't experience that at all [20:53] what should I do about it? [20:53] DjDarkman: oh that. [20:53] !brokenkde4 [20:53] If you're trying to install KDE4 RC1 but getting errors about dependencies or files being overwritten, make sure you remove ALL of the KDE4 beta packages first. Try this in a !terminal: « sudo apt-get --purge remove $(dpkg -l | egrep '(KDE 4|KDE PIM 4|-kde4)' |cut -d ' ' -f 3) kdebase-workspace kdebase-runtime » [20:53] :< [20:53] sigma: maybe thats because you never tried Konqueror.but i was a firefox user too.Browser is just a habit, try to use konqueror for one week and then you cannot go back to Firefox [20:54] pastryness: but, unless you are hoping for 3d games, it will probably be quite ok, anyway [20:54] sigma: specially if you use ssh, ftp and such services and you maintaint websites, KDE and specially Konqueror, really Rocks! [20:54] Lynoure: won`t work [20:55] emilsedgh: i think i used konq in 7.04, hated what it looked like. but il try it out again, maybe the latest fixes have resolved my issues [20:55] how can I cancel the installation of the problematic packagees? [20:55] i have a apache server installed, maybe i should give it a try [20:55] DjDarkman: usually it just ends in error, and they don't get installed [20:55] sigma: KDE3 default settings usually are very bad.change applications settings and then they will rock! [20:55] DjDarkman: more detail on the "won't work" please [20:56] Package kdebase-workspace is not installed, so not removed [20:56] Package kdebase-runtime is not installed, so not removed [20:56] You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: === gollum is now known as gollum_ [20:56] DjDarkman: sounds good, still [20:56] DjDarkman: try installing again? [20:57] the problem is that I think I accidently put kde4 beta on istallation [20:57] same error [20:57] but, if it tells you to do apt-get -f install, that's usually a good idea, then the romeve command again, then install again [20:57] s/romeve/remove [20:57] emilsedgh: which settings are u referring to? [20:57] DjDarkman: or just try the livecd :) [20:58] the install gives the error so it doesn`t do anything [20:58] sigma: all the settings, kde apps are highly configurable, little things that really change the taste [20:59] the problem is that apt wants to install kde4 beta and rc1 at the same time [20:59] how can I cancel the installation of the beta? [20:59] emilsedgh: taking a look at my internal wiki on it, it does look a whole lot better now! [20:59] hehe [20:59] DjDarkman: Where are you installing it from? Prune your sources.list, then do apt-get update again [21:00] emilsedgh: now i remember why i switched to firefox, konq kept on crashing on certain pages - must have been a khtml bug in feisty [21:00] sigma: aah, maybe.its so stable now... [21:00] Lynoure: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc1.php [21:00] DjDarkman: that's rc1, where are you getting "the beta"? [21:01] sigma: if it crashed for you on a page, give me a link to try it [21:01] hardy is beta [21:01] emilsedgh: ok well il use it and let u know [21:01] right? [21:01] Lynoure: I think it`s from the ubuntu repositories, since I don`t have any third party added [21:01] thasnk sigma [21:01] DjDarkman: uh, oh, if you are on hardy, I think I'll let you be :) [21:01] exept for the one noted on kubuntu.org [21:01] no I`m on gutsy [21:02] Xcell: what is so new in hardy? i read the review on the wiki, didnt sound so exciting [21:02] http://ppa.launchpad.net/tsimpson/ubuntu gutsy main [21:02] I know/prolly just looks. [21:02] DjDarkman: what packages do you think are the beta ones? [21:02] sigma: it was so nice to talk to you, bye for now [21:02] bye bye [21:02] how do you disable images for some websites but not others in konqueror? [21:03] they have that feature in firefox and i really need it [21:04] kde4-workspace I think [21:04] Konq needs (no script) to.

[21:51] cat /etc/fstab [21:52] BluesKaj: no, just Kubuntu [21:52] I set it up for him about 6 months ago [21:52] He has a / partition , a /home partition, and a swap parttition [21:53] Thylio: you need to be root (admin) to change it. Use the following to edit then: kdese kwrite /etc/fstab [21:53] myk_: can u help me mounting my cd-r? I think kubuntu want to mount is as iso9660, but it's udf! [21:53] hi, anyone using uim-anthy with kde applications ? [21:53] SeanTater: How can i change it,so it will mount? [21:53] thylio, unfortunately, i cannot help with that [21:53] Thylio: I've never heard of a CD being udf, but you don;t need to change your fstab for that [21:54] iso9660 is the standard for cdroms, isnt it? [21:54] Thylio: execute sudo mount -t udf /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 [21:54] Thylio: tell me if that works [21:54] myk_: yes, it is, but I'm fairly sure k3b and the like have strange options if you dig neep [21:54] /deep/ [21:54] myk_, that's a nice setup, the diff partitons ,but sometimes an upgrade can affect it, that what happened to me ...is there a way to post the /boot/grub/menu.lst on pastebin ?

[21:56] np [21:56] Thylio: uh-oh, this does not sound good :-| [21:57] if i download kubuntu now. is it easy to update kde 4 when it arrives? [21:57] and does it already use Qt 4? [21:57] SeanTater: Hehe:p http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/2515/ === ubuntu is now known as gurtubay [21:58] HS^: there is live CD with kde4 rc1 already [21:59] but yes, upgrading should always be a piece of cake with *buntu [21:59] i saw that. but its unstable [22:00] is kubuntu just vanille/standard kde [22:00] standard fonts.. [22:00] everything standard [22:00] or tweaked [22:00] Thylio: not surprisingly, I'd like to know what dmesg|tail says about the cd drive (I don't need the whole thing). Unfortunately, the same thing happened to me and I had to buy a new cd drive to fix it [22:01] SeanTater: wow. that's bad news. This is a laptop. -.- [22:02] Thylio: On the upside, it probably only happens to UDF cd's, and that's (at most) one in a million [22:02] Thylio: but out of curiosity, why does this cd have UDF and how do you know?

[23:10] pastryness: almost, the format for /etc/fstab is "thing-to-mount mountpoint type options dump pass" [23:11] pastryness: generally you set "dump" and "pass" to 0 [23:11] pastryness: so add a line like: //server/my music /home/user/mount-point smb username=yourusername,password=yourpassword,auto [23:11] i dont understand what u just said :/ === blizzz is now known as blizzzek === XNOR is now known as SR_Latch [23:12] pastryness: /etc/fstab is a file that stores what to mount and where, to have the system mount something at boot you need to add a line for it in there [23:12] linux community FTW! [23:14] okay [23:14] thanks very much stdin [23:17] any ideas how i can fix this openoffice error "Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit"?? :( [23:18] does anyone who has a laptop has a schematic of his motherboard? [23:19] the above ir related with one question in the kubuntu mailing list [23:22] any1? [23:23] there was a guy reporting about a problem with his laptop, stating that his built in button to turn off his wifi card was not working uder kubuntu [23:24] my hypothesis is that these buttons are not related with the wifi card but must be built in on the mobo [23:24] I haven't seen a schematic ship with hardware since the 1950's era tube radio my pop gave me :( [23:24] but freaking acer has not responded yet at my inquiry [23:25] Lol ive been a electronics tech 30+ yrs...that button is prolly ic controlled. [23:25] sweet thanks ubotu [23:26] SR_Latch: that hypothesis does sound fairly solid I suppose, the wifi card in my cheapo toshiba unplugs and doesn't take the button with it, so it's attached in there somewhere by the mobo [23:26] if there's an LED for feedback on the wifi have him press it when the machine is booting, My LED goes on/off at that point. It also works under Linux no prob though. [23:27] yes thats what i mean there is no way atheros for example has a built in swith on the chip [23:27] Xcell what do you mean ic? [23:27] Data latch looped through software. [23:28] some of the pins on the slot it plugs into could be directly routed to the button and LED [23:28] but why a data latch and not a simple power switch? [23:29] It's called a (jk/flip flop. [23:29] to cut power only in wifi chip? [23:29] I suppose the question is what happens when the button is pressed, is the wifi card turned off from within the wifi card, is the bus disconnected physically, is it something in the southbridge? [23:29] Electronic switch. [23:29] SR_Latch, Xcell, mcrandello: take the conversation #kubuntu-offtopic please [23:29] how would I extract files from .rar format? [23:30] !rar [23:30] 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.

PLEASE HELP guys [23:38] can i burn kubuntu cd edition on a dvd? (i have no cd's left) [23:38] HS^: yes [23:38] thats not true [23:38] yes it is [23:39] it gives error in nero [23:39] that's nero, I don't use nero [23:39] sorry your compilaton cannot be written on this kind of disc [23:39] choose to burn a DVD image, not a CD image [23:39] please inser a disc of the correct type or modify your settings of your compilation [23:39] i did that [23:39] Guys i need to use SKypemate... is there anyway i can actually get skype working with skypemate inorder to use my USB phone??? PLEASE HELP guys [23:40] HS^: then choose another burning software, it works fine in K3B so it can be done [23:41] i must type "echo "//192.168.0.1/linux /mnt/sharename smbfs \" and then the same command continues onto a new line... do i just press unter after the \? [23:41] enter* [23:41] i dont know how i pressed u insted of e :< [23:41] u* [23:41] right.. nero is one of the best disc writing softwares [23:42] pastryness: what are you trying to do? [23:42] http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/windows.html [23:43] it tells you how to mount at boot up [23:43] but there is one of the commands that is two lines :/ [23:43] whabo: Most of that hardware has really clunky support in Linux. Your best bet is probably to search http://forum.skype.com/ and ask around on the Linux forum. Last time I tried, though, I was unable to get my Skype phone hardware to work. [23:43] wow, that's an odd way to do it.. [23:44] it finally burns [23:44] is it hard to setup wireless in linux, (i heared this) [23:44] pastryness: just put the line directly into the file, press Alt-f2 and put in "kdesu kate /etc/fstab" so you can edit it properly [23:47] whabo: If you're somewhat experienced with Linux, you might try the usbb2k-api software. It's at https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/usbb2k-api/ . It will probably take some fiddling to get working correctly. [23:52] jj [23:52] exit === mcrandello_ is now known as mcrandello
