[01:11] How to get program to run in ubuntu Linux? [01:11] Notify me of responses [01:11] Hi, [01:11] I have compiled a small program called danp001.pas using fp in ubuntu Linux and it runs from the fp IDE, but when I click on the icon for the program in a file directory nothing happens or when I type the program's name into the terminal set to the directory the program files are in the terminal says: "bash: danp001: command not found". [01:11] I have right clicked on the program icon and it has the box checked for "allow executing file as program" and it shows read-write. [01:12] It also shows "type: executable" but the filename for the program has no extension, just the first part of the name danp001 as taken from danp001.pas and danp001.o. [01:12] Sorry for the beginners question, but how do I get the program to run without using the Run command in the fp IDE? [01:12] Thank you in advance for your help in this matter, I have the current ubuntu CD (Dec. 2007). [01:12] Dan aka tempnulbox [01:12] -- Dan Hudgins, December 06, 2007 10:28 AM [01:14] DANCAD3D linux doesn't by default have ./ listed in it's path you may add that from the command line via export PATH="$PATH:./" also applications must be set as executable. check the permissions (ls -l /path/to/file.name) set with chmod 755 /path/to/file.name [01:14] anyone here uses Listen Music Player ?! [01:15] You have to run it with ./danp001, not juste danp001 [01:15] max or add ./ to your path [01:16] or use full path /blah/blah/file.name [01:18] adding . to your path is usually not that suggested [01:18] too easy for things to go wring [01:20] i disagree. exporting a path is only set for that one instance, and is very useful when testing things that "could" look for other executables in the same dir [01:22] hey folks [01:22] Thanks Max-P et al. the ./programname works, I was wondering is there a file extension that is hidden or is the program just its name without an extension? [01:22] hey maggie [01:23] DANCAD3D: linux doesn't rely on extensions [01:23] DANCAD3D: The filename extensions only really mean anything inside the gui, and pretty much only for documents. Executables are set by permissions. [01:23] extensions in linux are solely for identification [01:23] bah this is my wife's computer, but my nick is already in use. [01:24] /msg nickserv recover [01:24] so , when i start kde4 it complains about dbus not starting. [01:24] is this really a freenode server? [01:24] yes [01:24] yup [01:24] oh! [01:24] brb [01:24] margaret: yes, it is a freenode server, and try running "sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart" [01:25] margaret you've changed! [01:25] hehe [01:25] Much better. I can see my penis now! [01:25] anyway. [01:25] now tell him nosrednaekim [01:25] anyone had any sucess with kde4? [01:25] bearcat: yes, I have [01:26] margaret: yes, it is a freenode server, and try running "sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart" [01:26] I rock 2. [01:26] bye [01:27] first off let me clarify that i'm using sourcemage, but you folks have helped me on my kubuntu machine so much i though i'd come in here. I'm not a newb so i can get around the diffrences just fine. Just talk to me as though i was using kubuntu. [01:27] i have recompiled and restarted dbus [01:28] i have made sure that qdbus is in my path for both my user and for root. [01:28] bearcat: and whats the error? [01:29] "Could not start D-Bus. Check your installation" [01:30] bearcat: how did you get the kde4 installation? packages or from SVN? [01:30] if i run qdbus at the prompt i get " [01:30] Could not connect to D-Bus server: [01:30] > org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ExecFailed: Failed to execute dbus-launch to [01:30] > autolaunch D-Bus session [01:31] nosrednaekim: packages [01:31] Thanks for the ./programname trck, how do I get the same effect for clicking on the icon in the folder viewer?

[01:37] DANCAD3D: if it's a console program, there is zero point in launching it from a filemanager anyway [01:37] nosrednaekim: reading [01:37] because it probably takes arguments, which you can't pass to it when double-clicking from a file manager [01:38] Is there a way to make a short-cut on the desk-top, I thought the terminal would come up automaticly, so I need to make some other kind of script file and click on it in "File Browser" like a batch file? [01:39] DANCAD3D you right click and set it to open in a terminal ? [01:39] DANCAD3D: making a shortcut is easy (for on the desktop) [01:40] DANCAD3D right click drag+drop on the desktop choose make launcher or is it make shortcut [01:40] i have a problem, am unable to play mp3 files eith any music player but Amarok...any ideas?!

[01:57] Agent_bob: I would set it up to immediately switch to a different desktop with a spreadsheet open, hiding games/porn etc [01:57] tekteen: once you install it it should also bring in the language pack for spanish and another package or two related [01:58] * DaSkreech pops up at tekteen's alt+ctrl+A [01:58] how do I create the accented charactors [01:58] heh. ok. well i already use [left logo] & [menu] for switching up and down the tty's so that's a bit redundant, not that it's a bad idea. [01:58] then in the system settings you can change the language and it will set up an internationalized keyboard [01:59] some older dos games had a "boss screen" key which would put a pie chart or something dull on the screen :) === jorhumcc is now known as kuadrosx [02:00] mcrandello: all I see is switching between spanish and english not "international" [02:01] yeah i didn't at first catch the concept of "a screen just for your 'boss' to look at" it soaked in when you explained "switching desktops" but only those doing what they should not, have any use for a 'boss screen' [02:01] Agent_bob: that doesn't make it any less functional ;^) [02:02] tekteen: you can change the keyboard layout in that group [02:02] could make it an instant off button. that would be functional too [02:02] mcrandello: I have a quick question [02:03] sure [02:03] mcrandello: can I change my keyboard so...

HOw can a get this work? [02:08] I have right clicked and set the option "open with "gnome-terminal" with the exicute box un-checked and nothing happens when I try to run my freepascal terminal program that way, and when exicute file as program box is checked the open with "gnome-terminal" mesg does not show, and left click on the program or right click then open do not do anything, so I still cannot start the program from the icon, it does run with ./name in the [02:08] use "showkey" to find the key code [02:08] altGR would probably work well for the deadkey [02:08] mcrandello: like super?

[03:02] DaSkreech dash is not compatable with bash ? is bash the gold standard ? i thought that it was bash extensions that broke posix not dash. [03:03] sh is the base shell in most unix [03:03] Agent_bob: it's the defacto standard [03:03] flaccid: not quite true :) but it should be [03:03] well it is actually [03:03] well base shell probably the wrong word [03:03] it's the default shell [03:03] yeah it's just linked to different things flaccid [03:03] sh will be supported on most modern nixes, where is bash can be quite optional [03:03] which then points to some other posix shell [03:04] some nix like to use dif base shell now [03:04] Most people don't know the difference between posix and bash though [03:04] * Agent_bob prefers dash [03:04] posix is not a shell but [03:04] so while dash may flfil posix it will still break many scripts [03:05] DaSkreech heh that's like saying a non-dos system breaks batch files === ubuntu is now known as ubuntu__ [03:05] "sudo apt-get reconfigure dash" then answer no to bring bash back [03:05] although dash is supposedly a lot faster. [03:05] the script was broken and using dash just showed the breakage [03:06] Agent_bob: yeah that's what I meant :) === bmk789 is now known as bmk789_sleep [03:07] the script was broken because it specified /bin/sh which should always be fully posix compliant and it also contained bash specific code that is not posix compliant. thus the script was broken not the shell [03:07] w2ktu ?? [03:07] hjik [03:07] ? [03:07] Agent_bob: Yup yup [03:08] !hi|ubuntu__ [03:08] ubuntu__: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! [03:08] hi there! [03:08] hi [03:10] what's going on? [03:15] Awholelottawork for KDE4 :) [03:22] hi, whats is a good way to generate a kde menu entries / folders from a script? === george_ is now known as djuro [03:23] ponyofdeath: eh? [03:23] DaSkreech: i want to generate a bunch of k menu items from a script wondering if there is an easy way for that [03:24] Why would you script that? [03:24] DaSkreech: because i need that do u know of a way or not? [03:25] Well the menu is database driven as far as I know so you would probably have to query it [03:26] DaSkreech: well i know that there is a .kde/share/applnk directory as well that u can make desktop file in [03:26] Yeah [03:26] DaSkreech: but there should be an easy way to make entries via script [03:27] Well it's on freedesktop.org if you want to see how it's done [03:27] DaSkreech: cool thanks [03:27] I'm still uncertain as to how many times you'll be manually changing the menu so ... don't know why you would want it scripted but I guess yuo have some complex plan [03:28] institutional rollouts perhaps? [03:29] You can use kiosk for that [03:29] And it's much nicer [03:30] DaSkreech: well basically i have a script that parses our dns and gets all the machine names and i want it to create menu items for each machine so i can ssh to it or cssh to the cluster of machines [03:30] DaSkreech: how can i use kiosk for that? [03:31] Where are you putting them on the Kmenu? [03:31] Kmenu -> Places -> servernames ? [03:31] question: any problems w/ the current Flash plugin (9.0.115.0) and Konqueror in *buntu? [03:32] DaSkreech: yeah Kmenu -> domainname -> and that a sub folder for each group of machines > machines them selfs etc.. [03:32] Hmm seems cool [03:34] DaSkreech: yeah easy way to have a listing of all machines from our dns and then easily access them [03:34] DaSkreech: and can be updated via the script once daily [03:34] DaSkreech: with other window managers its easy but kde is a bit tougher [03:35] DaSkreech: seems i have to create foler and subfolders with .desktop files for each [03:41] I'm using Gutsy and Compiz-Fusion. My desktop pager/preview (on the taskbar) only shows one LONG desktop, where I have three. I think it's a conflict of settings between Compiz and KDE; has anyone experienced this or maybe have any ideas to fix it? Thanks 8) [03:41] hi i have a strange question [03:42] !bluefish [03:42] Sorry, I don't know anything about bluefish - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [03:42] which is? [03:44] no i was just seeing if they had info on that myself [03:44] question: any problems w/ the current Flash plugin (9.0.115.0) and Konqueror in *buntu? [03:44] sorry [03:44] only reference outside Fedora (my OS) to this problem I can find is a post on an Italian Slackware forum [03:46] clear [03:46] clear [03:46] clear [03:48] somebody good with programming in the shell [03:48] marandello: I do not see a program /usr/bin/konsole but /usr/bin/gnome-terminal seems to bring up the terminal, but it ignores the program name an path after it, any ideas of how to get the string to move to the terminal prompt after the terminal opens? [03:52] guys I need to compile Glibc and it is said that I have to compile it in a separate folder than the one in which I unpacked it. I created the folder glibcBuild, what should I do next? [03:52] Neoxeekhrobe: $sudo apt-get install build-essential [03:59] elo guys [03:59] hi [04:08] are you also users of ubuntu? [04:08] We all are, we just use KDE instead of gnome... [04:09] ah ok, i have just also switched to kde [04:10] i prefer to use this one than gnome [04:12] anyone know an X11 util to invert the screen? [04:16] Kaffeine says: "The source can't be read. Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data (e.g: no disk in drive). (Error reading NAV packet.)" Does anyone know what this could be? I _do_ have a disk in the drive, of course 8) And I can see the FBI warning...

Check the repo's web page. [06:15] sub[t]rnl: is it possible to download non-free stuff with the default repos? [06:15] the default repos being -- deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy universe main [06:15] deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-security universe main [06:16] and deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates universe main [06:16] no [06:16] you'll need to add the non free repo's then update apt [06:16] can you tell me some non-free repos? or some documentation i can read related to this stuff? [06:16] !repos [06:16] The packages in Kubuntu are divided into various sections. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu [06:17] http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/sources [06:18] sub[t]rnl: okay..i will take a look [06:20] well..i checked out the site of the original repos..i located the keys..how do I add them to apt? [06:20] use apt-key [06:20] example [06:21] wget -q http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/medibuntu-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add - [06:21] !apt-key [06:21] Sorry, I don't know anything about apt-key - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:24] anyone use firestarter [06:24] aye [06:24] you like it [06:25] yeah it saves me from throwing around iptables commands at the cli [06:25] its just a gui interface to the firewall already installed in *buntu [06:27] moin [06:27] any tips on seting it up [06:27] hrm, pretty simple really. Just have the wizard run on the interface [06:28] there isn't a firewall installed by default on *buntu.. [06:28] iptables is [06:28] no [06:28] its not [06:29] it can be installed, but it isn't [06:29] ah, sorry ninjagambit. [06:29] I don't think [06:29] maybe it is [06:29] i always assumed it was [06:29] if it is its not configured to do anything by default [06:29] its just there [06:29] Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT) [06:30] (i've not played with it at all on this box) [06:30] well, it locks down all ports by default [06:30] which is nice [06:30] no [06:30] it doesn't [06:30] as that policy shows [06:31] run nmap on default kubuntu [06:31] (viewable with iptables -L) [06:31] its pretty secure [06:31] thats because nothing is listening at the ports [06:31] not because they are explicitly blocked [06:32] well, the firewall is there by default [06:32] yes [06:32] I guess it is [06:32] been a while since i've seen a fresh install [06:33] its easily changed === darkness_ is now known as darkness_s [06:39] i cant get in ubuntu channel [06:40] i followed the instructions from the fowarded channel [06:40] but now i cant get the ops [06:40] to do test === Shely is now known as iE18 [06:50] iptables -P INPUT DROP [06:53] Is it possible to have konqueror use one style (say plastic) and have konsole use a diff style (say CDW) ? [06:54] i think you right click on the window [06:55] wich size must the budy icon for xmpp be? [06:55] should have an option [06:56] ninjagambit: Has many options, but none for style [06:57] hi guys im switch over to konqueror 100% for web browsing but i need your help, can anyone assist me? [07:02] i am switching over to konq from firefox as my default web browser but konq is lacking a certain feature that i really need - the exception list to the "disable all images" rule, is there a workaround to this? [07:05] sigma: So far I have only seen a way to block images from certain sites [07:06] ardchoille: ya i saw that on that add blocker thing - i need it to do the reverse of that :( [07:07] otherwise its back to firefox - and i hate firefox! [07:07] sigma: Can you live without blocking some images? I too switched from firefox and found that I could live without blocking sime images [07:08] i personally dont mind the images, its my gprs data bill that does! [07:08] Ah, ok [07:09] i recently switched from firefox as well ardchoille. the konq preload sold it for me. [07:10] what is the command to turn off all firewall rules ? [07:11] hrm [07:11] sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop? [07:11] guess thats not there by default though [07:13] Voyage_: Did you use firestarter to set up the firewall? [07:17] I'm looking for this: http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/EmeraldThemeManager?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=emerald.png [07:17] what command do I run to get this? [07:17] ardchoille - how can i see what firewall rules are in place? [07:17] Voyage_: sudo iptables --list [07:17] sstchur: emerald-theme-manager [07:18] thanks! [07:18] ardchoille thanks [07:18] yw [07:20] sub[t]rnl: why would there be no themes listed for me? [07:20] sudo apt-get install emerald-themes [07:20] ok [07:20] thanks [07:29] my internet banking site is not working in konqueror, works fine in firefox, any idea why? [07:29] because the developer cannot do web standards [07:29] flaccid: what do u mean? [07:30] they can't code.. [07:31] heh [07:32] ok il drop them a email, its one of the big 4 banks in SA, kinda weird [07:32] not really [07:32] flaccid: You are so right [07:32] most banks don't have valid websites [07:32] sigma: Have you tried the user agent switcher?> [07:32] yeah, just because they are a bank, doesn't mean that they can code [07:32] eek, if the site does UA sniffing its even worse.. [07:32] try to set a different identification in tools [07:33] archoille: i disabled it and when i re-enabled it, it was greyed out, any idea why? [07:34] sigma: You have to go to a new web page for it to work. [07:34] sigma: restart konq, go to your banking site and try again [07:34] the question remains on the behaviour of why the site 'does not work' [07:34] !doesntwork [07:34] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [07:35] flaccid: It doesn't work because the designer can't code, you were right to begin with [07:35] ok its working now, should i identify as firefox or ie? [07:35] but what is the behaviour to verify this theory? [07:35] sigma: Whichever works [07:35] anyone know how to recover from a ati graphics driver upgrade? [07:35] flaccid: Works in ff, not in konq? [07:35] yeah so the bank is sniffing the UA string in the http request headers to determine if you should be able to load the site or not <-- totally bad practice [07:36] but what is the actual behaviour [07:36] i mean other than just using the old GPU driver? [07:36] is it saying 'invalid browser' or is the site unuseable ? === batistuta is now known as batis610 [07:37] oh my, that actually worked, but how secure is this guys? [07:38] let me try login [07:38] it doesn't relate to security really [07:38] your confidentiality should still be protected by TLS [07:38] if its not, im not sure what kind of bank you are with.. [07:39] sigma: I think all it does it tells the site that you're using something other than konqueror [07:39] well that lock is in the titlebar [07:39] so if it works, it works basically [07:39] If that's true, then it shows that the site designers didn't do proper testing either [07:39] testing is irrelevant if you can't do web standards [07:39] true [07:40] so basically just because my browser is konq and not internet explorer its not letting me in? [07:40] but the mentality is that 'you code for IE because thats what everyone uses'. where in reality you can code for anything with web standards. but ignorance reigns.. [07:40] sigma: Because it's identifying itself as something other than what the site knows to work [07:40] sigma: correct. [07:40] sigma: Which is stupid, really [07:40] agreed [07:40] we don't know exactly what UA strings are accepted by that site.. [07:41] yeah thats just retarded, so according to them only a set number of web browsers work, i mean who would ever think about hacking into your session if you are on linux [07:41] you only sniff UA strings for very , very very specific reasons... [07:42] sigma: nothing to do with session which is server side. this is to do with the fact that most people still cannot do valid HTML and CSS.. [07:42] which flash package should i use with gusty? [07:42] sigma: Well, this just proves that the site designers were wrong to assume only certain browsers actually work, I mean if you can falsify the UA string and get it to work [07:42] and standard javascript is a dif story altogether.. [07:42] !flash | knx_ [07:42] knx_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash [07:42] lol [07:42] gusty here [07:42] you can spoof a UA string just like the plugin does or whatever. its a totally arbitary and non-standard way to satisfy the lack of skill the developers have.. [07:43] flash was working, tried flash non free, now... [07:43] brb [07:43] perhaps it just gives them a false sense of hope inside! [07:44] so which flash package was originally installed? [07:44] I just rebooted my machine, and all my fonts are tiny, it's veeerrrrryyyy annoying, and I don't know why. Even If I choose larger fonts through system settings, it doesn't fix all the problems . . . [07:46] ardchoille: r u still there - i have a konq question that no one could answer [07:47] sigma: I'm here [07:48] mstodd: when did u install the os? [07:48] the resolution of the logon screen changes to a resolution of a wide screen after fglrx install???? [07:49] ardchoille: ok here goes, in firefox if you go to preferences and then content theres a "load images automatically" box but theres also an exception list next to it, is the same functionality somehow available in konq as well? [07:50] i need to have some pages load with images but have all other pages with no images [07:51] sigma: afaik, it's load all images or lod no images, there isn't any other choice. [07:51] sigma: Is this on a mobile/cellular device? [07:51] apparle: I believe the logon uses the first resolution listed in your xorg.conf. You might want to edit it and put the desired resolution first [07:51] yup i use my cellphone as a gprs modem so im trying to cut down on the bill [07:52] apparle: you can also set the resolutions with aticonfig, ex. sudo aticonfig --resolution=0,1280x1024,1024x768 [07:52] i just install kubuntu desktop on laptop and when i try and install java and mp3 support i get broken package problems any suggestions on correcting problem [07:52] ardchoille: im trying the adblocker plugin, its sort of working but in the opposite way [07:52] linuxnoob: You uninstalled an empty meta-package, all the apps kubuntu-desktop pulled in are still installed. [07:53] sigma: opera can do that iirc [07:53] linuxnoob: I tried it. I get some error " creen0 not found" [07:53] linuxnoob: Screen I tried it. I get some error " Screen0 not found" [07:53] is there anyway to see network traffic in and out [07:53] linuxnoob: Re-install kubuntu-desktop [07:54] ardchoille: how can i find which one [07:54] ardchoille: ok [07:54] !bwm-ng [07:54] Sorry, I don't know anything about bwm-ng - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:54] !info bwm-ng [07:54] bwm-ng: small and simple console-based bandwidth monitor. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6-2 (gutsy), package size 37 kB, installed size 148 kB [07:54] otherwise ethereal for packet sniffing [07:54] linuxnoob: kubuntu-desktop is an empty meta-package, it only exists to pull in all the apps needed for the kubuntu desktop environment [07:54] ardchoille: is there any plugin repository online for konq? if not is opera in the repo's? [07:54] sub[t]rnl: I opened xorg.conf. Any line related to resolutions not found [07:55] sigma: I haven't found a plugin repo for konq, konq does use mozilla plugins however. And, yes, opera is in the partner repo iirc. [07:55] thanks [07:55] ardchoille: package not avail [07:56] linuxnoob: kubuntu-desktop? [07:56] ardchoille: yep says referred to by other [07:57] sub[t]rnl: What do i do?? [07:57] linuxnoob: Can you pastebin your sources.list for me please? [07:57] ardchoille: so if i download a plugin from http://addons.mozilla.org how do i install it? [07:57] !pastebin [07:57] 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) [07:57] sigma: No idea [07:57] ardchoille: ok one sec [07:58] sigma: Which plugin? Are you sure it isn't already in the repos? [07:58] something for image filtering [07:58] lol trying to cheat konq via fox plugin...hope it works [07:59] ardchoille: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47190/ [07:59] sigma: There aren't any mozilla plugins for image filtering. [07:59] Good idea though. [08:00] Google it.Maybe youll find something. [08:00] linuxnoob: I don't see anything wrong with your sources.list except that backports is a "use at your own risk" repo [08:01] ardchoille: dam thought i might strike it lucky! [08:02] sigma: There are only 6 mozilla plugins available for Linux [08:02] hello [08:02] what is a good 3d bench mark program for kubuntu? im looking for something along the lines of "3DMARK" [08:02] ardchoille: any other ideas [08:02] sigma: Check this out.http://adblock.mozdev.org/ [08:03] Xcell: adblock is an extension, not a plugin and to my knowledge, konq cannot use firefox extensions [08:03] xcell: i saw that right now, isnt that the exact same adblock that is used in konqueror [08:03] I tried. [08:03] linuxnoob: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [08:04] Looks like it sigma. [08:04] ardchoille: ok will try [08:04] linuxnoob: Other than that, I don't know what to tell you [08:04] sigma: konq uses a "form" of that, yes [08:05] Konq has a mile long list..would take 3 weeks to get conf. [08:05] ardchoille: no go [08:05] how do I play MIDI files [08:05] linuxnoob: What exactly was the error? [08:06] !midi [08:06] Trouble playing MIDI files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo [08:06] ardchoille: will pastebin [08:06] I actually like konq/ just wish it had (no script) + image capa. [08:06] linuxnoob: Thank you :) [08:06] ardchoille: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47191/ [08:08] well i think i found a simple solution for now [08:08] what [08:08] linuxnoob: apt-cache policy kubuntu-desktop | grep -i install [08:09] Installed: (none) [08:09] linuxnoob: apt-cache search kubuntu-desktop [08:10] anyone a web developer [08:10] ardchoille: i have just use source omatic to make new soures list will update etc see what happens [08:10] i just disable all images, then when i need to see them i go to tools - html settings - autoload images [08:10] linuxnoob: Ah ok [08:10] ardchoille: its downloading new package info files [08:10] it remembers to load images just for that one site [08:11] cool..thats usin the ol noggin [08:11] Xcell: but its only for one session, if i close konq it forgets, anyway to make it permanentely remember? [08:11] cant make a switch @ the top? [08:12] prolly not [08:13] ya some kind of shortcut button would be helpful [08:13] prolly have to write a script [08:13] oi [08:14] I wish they would do konq like both opera and ff..that would rule. [08:14] Should be able to get a dcop call to autoload images [08:15] There ya go. [08:15] anyone? [08:16] Go ahead surg. [08:16] Well, seems you need to know the PID of konq before that dcop call would work. That was stupid. [08:17] ardchoille: how do i get dcop to call that? [08:17] hehe, firefox looks like crap in kde [08:17] sigma: It won't work unless you know the PID of konq before hand.. and the PID changes when you restart konq [08:17] lol [08:18] sigma: There are tons of skins for firefox [08:18] ok well thats not a option then!, ya but they all have issues [08:18] and firefox is rather slow compared to konq as i have noticed [08:19] Exactly..thats why i said i liked konq better. [08:19] I use konq, but I don't have images enabled at all. [08:20] well as long as my internet banking works and i can use f1 to turn on images where i need them im happy:), just wish it would remember where i turned images on, weird cos its on a local server on my pc, it should at least remember to enable images for that [08:20] can i leave a feature suggestion somewhere to implement that feature in a later version? === pemphigus is now known as posingaspopular [08:22] hey all where do i go to get help mounting a partition in gutsy [08:22] ubotu's respnse was kind of hard for me to get [08:23] !mount [08:23] Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Kubuntu, go to System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem.

[08:28] ext3 is a option, i mounted one yesterday [08:28] ah [08:29] k [08:29] xcell: nope ext3 is a regular filesystem [08:29] ah i foudn it [08:29] I had it backwards. [08:29] xcell: its a slight upgrade of ext2, protects your data more [08:29] ok [08:31] okay but im still getting the same error [08:31] mount point is /mnt/Linux btw [08:31] okay no sorry nvm, different partition [08:31] this one has a mount point as [08:32] duh, create the mount point [08:33] yup [08:34] done thanks all [08:34] what is a good 3d bench mark program for kubuntu? im looking for something along the lines of "3DMARK" [08:35] glxgears [08:35] sigma: that is not a benchmark [08:36] well im downloading opera, gonna see how that browser fares [08:36] surgy: don't think theres anything else === ve7wnk is now known as wenko [08:37] can i make my kubuntu box an ftp server?

[08:38] sigma: but opera is fully loaded, with built in everything [08:39] sigma: not sure [08:39] !opera | sigma [08:39] sigma: opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser. Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" (dapper only) is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser [08:39] what do you mean with everything built in? [08:40] it has everything, imagine something you whould want a browser to do...... opera most likely has it [08:41] ah i see what you mean [08:42] i wonder why its so small though [08:42] sigma: it has a plugin system, and downloads and installs what you want :) [08:43] ardchoille: well i have install mp3 support but now i get a tzdata error when apt-get trying to update it see http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47193/ [08:43] sigma: it really is a nice browser, although not the fastest certainly my favorite if i was looking for options [08:44] surgy: does it look normal in kde, because firefox looks disgusting [08:44] what do you mean by not the fastest? [08:45] surgy: yeah, memleaks, ugly look, opera has it all! [08:45] sigma: both firefox and opera are both FULLY customizable, you can make them look and act in any way. my GF has her firefox set up with leopard skin and black buttons, i have mine themed to look just like my kde theme, and opera is even more customizable [08:45] wpk :) [08:46] surgy: how did u get the kde look for firefox? [08:46] wpk: sigma wpk has a point, but like i said its slower [08:46] sigma: google it [08:48] am i the only one who thinks that gutsy looks like windows 95? [08:48] gutsy kubuntu [08:48] yeah i think so :) [08:48] if i recall correctly it probably did [08:49] surgy, firefox is faster than opera for you? [08:49] surgy: im using it now, its not that slow, but it still can't disable images on certain websites like firefox can! [08:50] robotphood: yes, and if i recall, it is faster for most people [08:50] surgy: did you install that kdeff theme for firefox? [08:50] like rendering speed?

[09:26] anyone know why ktorrent is so slow [09:26] is there a powermanager for kubuntu [09:26] ninjagambit: could be a number of things [09:27] number of seeders is important.

[12:59] Jay-Oh-En: try both, they shouldnt be too big [12:59] well all that and still no you tube [13:00] Jay-Oh-En: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java#head-f4267cc37a197ccf46397cc58ff0944838741956 [13:00] ninjagambit: do other flash sites work [13:00] try www.rathergood.com [13:01] ActionParsnip: what is he on 32 or 64?

[13:05] ninjagambit, probably because Adobe doesn't provide 64bit Flash at all... [13:05] ninjagambit: cos adobe havent made it yet. its closed source [13:05] ninjagambit: plus i dont think your going to be using all the bits anyways so stick with 32 [13:05] ninjagambit: there are open source equivelants [13:06] but basically, 64-bit Flash doesn't exist yet, that's why. [13:06] so blame Adobe :P [13:06] i had it working for fedora [13:06] 8 [13:07] [21:04] can i ask why linux has such a problem geting stuff like adobe flashplayer 9 for 64 <--- then why the question? [13:07] (and are you sure it was 64-bit Flash? not 32-bit Flash running in 64-bit through nspluginwrapper or something?) [13:07] ninjagambit, afaik RPM-distros generally supprot multi-arch, so Fedora can easily run 32bit apps in 64bit system [13:07] oh [13:08] thats what i wanted to know [13:08] pag: Debian does too. it's not about how much architectures the distro supports [13:08] (afaik Debian supports more archs than RH) [13:09] Jucato, it's not as "easily" available yet.. in RPM-based you just can install an 32bit app. in Debian-based you'll have to play with libraries manually [13:09] *install 32bit app in 64bit system [13:09] maby i just had 32bit firefox [13:09] !flash64 [13:09] You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava [13:09] * ActionParsnip is sticking to 32bit til 64bit get s established properly [13:09] whats iced tea [13:10] !info icedtea [13:10] Package icedtea does not exist in gutsy [13:10] bah...

[16:57] lalalande: It would be kdesu kate /etc/apt/sources.list in KDE [16:57] Theres other backup/restore tools out there also. wasent there one called 'ghostforlinux' or somthing like that [16:57] !find ghost [16:57] Found: kghostview, ghostscript, ghostscript-doc, ghostscript-x [16:57] !find g4l [16:57] well i have also gnome installed [16:57] ghostforlinux? I thought that was actulaly made by symantec [16:57] Package/file g4l does not exist in gutsy [16:57] sean, they may have had to change their name. :) [16:58] i havent messed with it myself. I just rember some time back there being tool with a name similer to that. [16:58] sean: it's dd + nc + bzip2 ;) [16:59] DaSKreech_: what's the worst that can happen? [16:59] http://sourceforge.net/projects/g4l [16:59] G4L is a hard disk and partition imaging and cloning tool. The created images are optionally compressed and transferred to an FTP server instead of cloning locally. [16:59] sean: I am restoring a box from such an image just now === jan_ is now known as PPSD [16:59] what was the mount command if I want to mount sda1 partition? [16:59] hi [17:00] sudo mount /dev/sda1 /media/THISDIRMUSTEXISTFIRST [17:00] :) [17:00] with whatever options you may need. [17:00] Dr_willis: thanks [17:00] Linux FUNdaMENTALS !;) [17:01] lalalande: I'm not sure I understand the page. What are they asking you to change? [17:01] a few days ago i suddendly had no write access to any files anymore, after restarting fsck was forced and many errors corrected. afterwards everything worked. today i got the same except after a clean shutdown. what could be the problem? (hd is pretty new) [17:02] PPSD, Well i would be backing up anything imporntant As soon as you can. [17:02] PPSD: and after backing up - do: sudo badblocks -n -s /dev/YOURDISKDEVICE [17:03] Dr_willis: already doing so every evening before shutting down [17:03] PPSD: and watch those bad blocks fly [17:03] can you make firefox use the kde wallet like konqueror does? [17:03] PPSD, check the output of 'dmesg' and see if theres any messages about bad disk/badblockd an so forth. [17:03] rysiek|pl where were you last week when i needed to remebr that command. :) [17:03] rysiek|pl, actually the hd i had.. i used that on.. and it couldent even finish ... so that HD went to the trash. :) [17:03] Dr_willis: last week? my job I think [17:04] lost my 120gb of.. well... not much really heh heh.. [17:04] Dr_willis: (sh)it happens ;) [17:04] Dr_willis: in /var/log/dmesg there's nothing about blocks or disks [17:04] Yep. HD's are getting cheaper all the time. [17:04] rysiek|pl: can i do that in normal runlevel 5 ? [17:04] Im waiting for 1 TB disks to get $100 :) [17:05] PPSD: aye, but 1. that will clog your machine (it's quite CPU- and disk-intensive) [17:05] Dr_willis: thanks, thats at least given me something to search for [17:05] hi, I installed mysql-server, setted a user and a database for amarok, but amarok doesn't create a collection on mysql anyway. Is there a bug? I couldn't find it [17:05] PPSD: it will run a long time, so I would suggest living it running when you got to work/go to sleep [17:05] rysiek|pl: lol, I need something a little more robust however. Im looking to do multicasting not just snigle restorations [17:05] :) [17:05] rysiek|pl: and fsck doesnt do what badblocks can do? [17:05] sean: add tee here and there ;) [17:06] PPSD: fsck checks the filesystem - that is, an abstract entity ON the disk [17:06] rysiek|pl: ah got it [17:06] sean, mondo/mindi is a bit more like that.. I used ot to back up to a samba server. then used its restore disk to restore all the machines from that one server. [17:06] PPSD: badblocks checks the disk itself - physicall device blocks [17:06] rysiek|pl: thanks [17:06] rysiek|pl: so if it finds something, does it mean that just something went wrong or that the disk is phsyically damaged? [17:06] PPSD: your welcome :) [17:07] PPSD: hmmm [17:07] PPSD: if it finds anything, there are bad blocks on the device [17:07] PPSD: that means some physical damages, yes [17:07] PPSD: *BUT* every disk drive has some spare blocks [17:07] rysiek|pl: ok, that would suck but good to know ^^ [17:07] rysiek|pl: i see [17:08] of course if the disks starts making funny noises.. and seems to be good.. then bad.. then good.. then bad... [17:08] Heya, Dr_Willis [17:08] PPSD: and it *may* - just *may* "swap out" the damaged ones, if there aren't too many of them [17:08] Hay Minataku [17:08] rysiek|pl: ok but should be a starting point anyway, because this error/repair action won't probably work many more times [17:09] My guideline is that as soon as there's suspicion of drive failure, it's no longer trusted and assumed to fail shortly [17:09] My HD would boot, then about 10 min later.. it would have an error and get remounted read only. :( [17:09] PPSD: exactly. if you see some bad blocks - buy a new drive and do a backup immediately [17:09] Minataku: aye [17:09] Then it wouldent even fdisk properly. [17:09] * rysiek|pl has to go home - as he *can* go home. ;) [17:10] Yeah, anything like that is perfect evidence that the drive is bad [17:10] lol [17:10] cu later y'all [17:10] rysiek|pl: ok thanks for now, don't need the machine anymore today so i will just start it [17:10] PPSD: g'luck [17:10] rysiek|pl: thanks, goodbye [17:10] Piyoko's drive started making a really soft but weird kinda grinding noise [17:11] cze [17:11] Sort of like a Duck stuck in a Blender? [17:11] pl?? [17:11] phobos, Huh? [17:11] I turned her off for a week, when I turned it back on, the noise was gone, but I deemed the drive untrustable anyway [17:11] Im PL [17:11] As for why I turned her back on, I wanted to check the drive before I installed the new one I just bought [17:11] * Dr_willis wonders what PL means...

[17:13] no [17:13] the new one is bigger [17:13] jak zainstalowac postfix [17:13] Then it's more complicated [17:13] it would have to be firefox code.. correct?

[17:16] I'm not [17:16] I'm using the nickname of a male anime character [17:16] well your nick seems to me like a female :P [17:16] okay [17:16] Heh [17:16] I know it seems female, though [17:16] hehe [17:16] But I never really cared XD [17:16] me too, since everyones trying to flirt me [17:16] It's easy enough to explain [17:16] but yea, so just copypaste the whole partition should do it?

I would like to add an IPP printer. [20:00] van_: You want to edit Winsock? [20:00] peter_: which adept are you using? [20:01] !hi | flyx [20:01] flyx: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! === hdevalence_ is now known as hdevalence [20:01] !amarok2 [20:01] Sorry, I don't know anything about amarok2 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi === beroual is now known as abyssion [20:03] where i can found a good source.list for my kubuntu??? [20:04] !easysource | flyx [20:04] flyx: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic [20:04] that site is awesome [20:05] thanks ;) [20:06] this source.list generator is good also for kubuntu? [20:06] yes [20:06] bitches [20:06] re [20:06] great thanks again [20:07] !wtf > qolo [20:08] guys, I know ssh supports X forwarding, but... is there a way I can connect to an XServer with a KDE/GNOME session already running on it? i.e. not starting a new session, but "taking over" an old one? [20:09] DMCP I think [20:09] or XDMCP [20:09] rysiek|pl: yes in otherwords :) === OFFICE\tc is now known as tchough [20:11] DaSkreech: rysiek@mybox:~$ echo XDMCP > google ;) [20:11] :-) [20:16] hello [20:16] I can't install realplayer. it gives me ./RealPlayer10GOLD-Linux.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [20:17] when aim' trying to install drivers of my UPS, i get that error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/zerog/lax/LAX [20:17] zvezdichko: you have to install libstdc++5 then [20:19] thanks, it worked [20:20] I have a question: Is real player as intrusive on linux as it is on windows? [20:20] Xcell: mp [20:20] err, no [20:20] How was that bypassed? [20:21] Xcell: it's intrusive on windows because it takes over control of a bunch of mime types, installs an autostarting system service, etc. It just doesn't do that on linux. [20:21] ok thanks..i was worried. [20:22] Is it worth having? [20:25] !real | zvezdichko [20:25] zvezdichko: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats === jrj is now known as jrjx [20:27] In "konversation" or any other IRC program, you know when you do a /whois and it says "xyzzy is username@host"? Is there any way to configure it to display "xyzzy is someoneelse@someplaceelse", or even "xyzzy is someoneelse@host", instead? [20:28] DaSkreech: from what I've read on the net it does not seem like XDMCP is able to "hijack" an already running X session [20:28] DaSkreech: am I wrong? [20:28] rysiek|pl: Woah Wait what are you trying t o do? [20:29] DaSkreech: I have a machine at work, running kubuntu 7.10. it was a 7.04, but I started the upgrade and left [20:29] DaSkreech: now, the update *should* be finished by now [20:30] jrjx: the someoneelse@someplaceelse would require spoofing, which most places frown upon, or even offer their own virtual hosts. the someoneelse@host just needs an ident daemon (oidentd is a good one), though i've never set it up, personally [20:30] DaSkreech: thought I could connect to the machine - somehow "hijack" the X server session so that I can control the apps already running (i.e. update manager), finish the job and halt the machine === neversfelde_ is now known as neversfelde [20:31] Also, OpenArena crashes on my box... It's not the thing however which crashes, but kwin... === cWolfe is now known as fucter [20:31] Hmmm. I'm using konversation, an older one since I'm running an older version of Kubuntu, and I thought I had this (well, another) identity set to display a different identd name. [20:32] if you don't have an ident daemon running, it won't work. [20:32] rysiek|pl: Oh yes yo ucan [20:33] rysiek|pl: But that has to be pre-setup [20:33] redirecting to the right channel [20:33] VNC or openNX can do that [20:33] i just installed nas and nas-bin. does anyone know if there is more required in setting this up? my qt app still tells me the soundsystem is unavailable, although i can play files with auplay. [20:33] DaSkreech: sed 's/great/darn/' [20:33] DaSkreech: yeah, I know vnc [20:33] jrjx: sure you can but you have to run your own IRC server :-) [20:33] DaSkreech: I can run it even now, and take over the desktop [20:34] DaSkreech: but thought I could use the XServer itself for that [20:34] jrjx: It's just spitting back what the server is telling it [20:34] windows clients such as mirc have their own ident server, konversation uses a system-wide one for linux. [20:34] !oidentd [20:34] Sorry, I don't know anything about oidentd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:34] !find ident [20:34] Found: libident, libident-dev, libkpimidentities1, xserver-xorg-video-trident, bidentd (and 15 others) [20:34] rysiek|pl: No the process is owned by the person who started it. It may be possible but X is notorious for spitting in your face and planningt the overthrow of your seed if you start messing with it [20:35] ok [20:35] I'll leave it till tomorrow, then :_ [20:35] :) [20:35] DaSkreech: thanks [20:35] Stupid complex archetict [20:35] Hi all [20:35] rysiek|pl: #xorg [20:36] I have just installed KDE - moving from Gnome - can anyone tell me where - if they exist - are the advanced appearance options in KDE? I.e thus that control CUBE, etc [20:39] Iggz: are you talking about compiz/beryl? [20:40] zvez - I believe that is it yes - sorry new to linux - well, its been many years and its changed a lot [20:41] Iggz: well, if you are talking about 3d desktop- so it's compiz and beryl [20:41] I'm just installing Kubuntu but have already got windows XPon the harddisk.I remember somewhere that windows needs to be the first aprtition.Is thiscorrect? [20:41] Yep, thats the one. Is it avaiable in KDE also? And if so, how to I access those settings ? :) [20:42] thas is cool [20:42] dont delt it [20:42] i thinqiiie you ned it [20:42] ubuntu: No but it really likes it [20:43] youness: i'm not *entirely* sure, but i think you need a new keyboard [20:44] Who installed driver for Mustek? i need help x( [20:44] lggz: It's the same as gnome [20:44] Iggz: I haven't tried it (I have an integrated Intel Express Video Chipset), but I suppose it should be "sudo apt-get install compiz" in the command line [20:44] same program [20:44] !compiz [20:44] Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion [20:45] yes is so fast my keybord [20:45] :) [20:45] Who installed driver for Mustek? i need help x( [20:45] UPS [20:46] Thamks zvez :-) [20:46] use kooka fo scanner [20:47] Iggz: it's a window manager. however, I'm not sure how to make it work with KDE and how to replace kwin. If somebody know how, please, tell us. [20:48] what is the command for chang the colore on IRC i type bath thas'nt work [20:48] zvezdichko: I think you can use the window manager binary like this: binary_name --replace [20:49] .

[20:53] youness [20:53] oh [20:53] and i normally don't have the heart to tell them [20:53] jrjx: u restart it [20:53] ah. beloved konqueror is back. :) [20:53] youness: don't test your client in here, this isn't the place. [20:54] i want change colors on IRC X ( [20:54] this isn't the place for that either. [20:54] tnx :) [20:54] jrjx: did u see my post above ^ [20:54] on another network, another channel, sure, but colours are distracting and generally frowned upon [20:55] colours don't work here anyway [20:55] we're +c [20:55] *** Channel modes: topic protection, no messages from outside, no colors allowed, L, z, f [20:55] Daisuke-Laptop: I don't think you can do colours in this channel anyway due to channel mode +c [20:55] ardchoille: that's why i said this isn't the place :D [20:55] Ah, ok [20:56] Zvez: thanks again. Sorry for the slow reply was in #compiz.fusion trying to get an answer - no joy though :/ [20:56] respect Daisuke-Laptop [20:57] Iggz: did you install it? [20:58] and no joy for what? for my chipset? [20:58] Tekteen: Ummm... I have the understanding that, for at least _some_ server programs, you don't have to kill and restart them to get them to reread their config file, but instead you can send them a specific signal. Are you saying I'm mistaken by this? [20:59] jrjx: I will look it up [20:59] jrjx: it's sighup [20:59] hi [20:59] stdin: thanks [20:59] That's what I _thought_, but I wanted to doublecheck.

How crap [23:05] it's not there... it's not a programm "cedega-small-6.0.2.i386" [23:05] it has a real ui in kde4 [23:05] AmyRose: it calms down after it first indexes all the stuff [23:06] but it sucks anyway, for now === DarthWar is now known as [[WarMage]] [23:06] yes [23:06] all them search programs are pretty not that useful [23:08] bascule: It seems to take forever, LITERALLY [23:08] :) [23:08] as in I had it running 2 days straight and it never calmed down [23:08] that's a mighty long time [23:08] * bascule disabled it quite quickly [23:09] How do you disable it without removing kubuntu-desktop? [23:09] I think I told is in some config to go away [23:10] hydrogen: updatedb/locate are the only useful imho [23:11] bascule: I got the stupid thing disabled once somehow--the config file was corrupt in such a way that it kept SIGABRTing strigidaemon [23:14] !strigi [23:14] Services to index files for fast searching include: Beagle (front-ends: beagle, catfish, gnome-main-menu, mozilla-beagle for !GNOME; kerry, kio-beagle for !KDE; beaglefs for !CLI) - Tracker (tracker-search-tool, libdeskbar-tracker for GNOME; tracker-utils for CLI) - Strigi (strigi-applet, strigi-client for KDE, strigi-utils for CLI) - Kat (for KDE) - Pinot (and pinot-applet for GNOME) - Doodle (for CLI) [23:14] thats not helpful ubotu.. [23:14] you're supposed to have info on how to disable it [23:15] it's possible that I killed it and saved the session so it doesn't start at kde login [23:15] i really can't remember [23:16] hydrogen: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-systemsettings/+bug/148054 [23:17] apt-get remove strigi-daemon [23:17] AmyRose: ^ [23:20] hey all [23:20] i updated and now ubuntu won't hibernate [23:20] anyone else experience this problem before? [23:20] one can also use the add-remove programs utility in the kmenu === [[WarMage]] is now known as ][WarMage][ [23:28] Hello all [23:29] hi [23:29] Hello the-erm [23:29] Well, this is pretty quiet. [23:31] much quieter then ubuntu [23:31] too many ppl in that channel [23:31] Well I got a crazy question. [23:32] I have 2 keyboards. [23:32] 1 is a remote, but it's basically a keyboard. [23:32] I was wondering if it's even possible to set up something like xmodmap on a per keyboard basis. [23:33] So if I pressed 1 on the remote win+1 would actually be pressed. [23:34] Shoot even something like xev could do it ... [23:36] ... hmm maybe I should look for a keyboard logger :) [23:36] that prints to stdout, and gives you the device info at the same time. [23:41] sources.list.save is the backup of original sources? [23:41] sources.list.bak [23:42] No, wait [23:42] sources.list~ [23:42] I named it with .bak [23:44] Isn't Kubuntu supposed to be auto-detect when it comes to monitors? [23:47] My friend's monitor is both TV and computer monitor. For some reason, it won't work on the tv/monitor. It is set to Monitor, but nothing displays. [23:47] Anyone got a clue as to where I should start? === littlebear is now known as littlebear72 [23:54] draik, maybe the monitor circuit has a different input [23:55] BluesKaj: It has worked in the past. I took it home with me, worked on it, gave it back to him and nothing. [23:56] what is his setup is he running the TV input off a pc capture card ? [23:56] capture=tvtuner card
