[00:00] Text based console/cli/dos is the next big thing. [00:00] Lol [00:00] Saves on Power ussage. so its more 'green' for the planet. [00:00] and GREEN CRT Serial terminal will be comming out soon! [00:00] Please stop it now [00:00] Actually, it seems to be finally sinking in at Micro$oft that the cli isn't so terrible. I mean, their implementation is still crappy, but at least it's there. [00:00] I'll be all laughed out [00:01] 'floppy disks are more recycelable then usb drives' [00:01] Hahaha [00:01] Exchange 2007 is CLI to even just change a mailbox limit :s [00:01] Don't get me started on that. I wasted ages trying to figure out limits on Exchange 2007. [00:02] The trouble is there are a zillion places to change the limits, and if you miss just one it defaults to the lowest. [00:02] that makes it more secure. :) [00:02] who needs a variable set in just 1 place! [00:03] :P [00:03] yep, took me ages too to figure it, damm Micros~1 [00:04] I applaud them for seeing the light that is the cli, but there are certain things that should be in a gui front end on a mail server. And I'd think changing message size limits would be one of them. I mean, it seems like a fairly common tweak.. [00:05] i have a digital camera and when i upload the pics to my hdd it saves them with the .ppm file extenstion. what program can i use to convert these .ppm files to jpeg? [00:05] Anyway, enough microshaft talk for me here. This is a Linux based channel after all. :D [00:05] !ppm [00:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about ppm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:05] !.ppm [00:05] ppmtojpeg I think. [00:06] What are you trying to learn penguin ? [00:06] !find ppm [00:06] Found: libcomplearn-mod-ppmdx, mrwtoppm, mrwtoppm-data, mrwtoppm-gimp, mrwtoppm-utils (and 2 others) [00:06] penguin, imagemagick has a nice utility called "convert" [00:06] Oh yeah, there is that too. [00:06] man convert [00:06] Dr_willis: im trying to convert .ppm inamges to jpeg images [00:06] NickPresta: is imagemagick available in the repos? [00:07] penguin, yep [00:07] yep. :) thats proberly the best tool for doind a lot of them [00:08] I'm looking for information on putting a file in /etc/hal/fdi/preprobe to ignore a device, anyone know if there's a guide anywhere on what I need to do to accomplish that? [00:09] google failed me and the "preferences.fdi" doesn't have any info on making it ignore the device [00:10] Faceoff :) === Moonra is now known as Necrobyte [00:16] I usually use gimp to change image file fromats myself [00:16] formats* [00:20] ok, i still need help, upgrading to gutsy didnt solve the problem [00:21] Zabulus: so you ran sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrad [00:21] Zabulus: so you ran sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade [00:22] after changing your sources file obviously [00:22] no... [00:22] Every time I open amarok it will seem to be loading, then the taskbar icon disappears and it doesn't start :( What can I do? [00:22] didnt get the chance, my mouse froze up before i could do anything [00:23] run it fron a ternubal and look for error messages [00:23] Zabulus: you dont need a mouse [00:23] i know, just makes things easier [00:23] Zabulus: login to t terminal no the desktop [00:23] not* [00:24] will that possibly stop my mouse from freezing up? [00:24] Zabulus: or press ctrl alt F1 at the login screen [00:24] this is a usb mouse? [00:24] yeah [00:24] I have a question about my flash drive: [00:24] i would say to to the console and look at dmesg output - see if any messages are showingup about the mouse. You can upgrade/edit the soruces totally from the console if need be [00:25] it used to come up when I plugged it in, and now I cant access it [00:25] it lights up, but no ones home [00:25] Dr_willis: Dang, now it won't even do what it WAS doing (showing the bouncy icon and a spot in the taskbar). I ran top and killed 2 amarok processes just before trying to run it from a terminal... [00:26] michael_: sound corrupted, have you tried it on another machine ? [00:26] yeah, my sound is currupted too lol [00:26] michael_: that is what happens when you remove a SD card without unmounting is usually [00:27] Dr_willis: My Adept Notifier isn't responding either... Hmm... [00:27] it* [00:27] hey everyone. my dsl connection seems to be dropping randomly about 5-6 times a day which is starting to get pretty annoying. does anyone know of any way to keep this from dropping? [00:27] adamonline45, I sometimes notice that behavior (amarok won't start) but only after X crashes and there is a zombie-like process left over. I have to `killall amarok*` and then it works just fine. [00:27] yes, in fact it was being 'borrowed, by another machine [00:28] working fine in that machine (using Windows)..... I bring it to mine and nothing [00:28] its a flash drive [00:28] NickPresta: I just typed that and it said 'no process killed'... === DrUnKnMuNkY1 is now known as DrUnKnMuNkY [00:29] NickPresta: two suggestions, rename the amorokrc file in /home/user-name/.kde/share/config to amarokrc-old and see if it fixes [00:30] amarokrc sorry [00:30] Linux_Galore: I just initiated a reboot, but if it's still happening (as it was with the LAST reboot) then I'll try that :) [00:30] or just reinstall amarok ie remove it then install it again [00:31] Linux_Galore: That's doable. I've seen a few means of removing with aptitude; which syntax would you recommend I use? [00:31] removing amarok will NOT clear out the users settings.. if those are the casuse of the problem [00:32] Dr_willis: Noted, ty [00:32] can anyone help me with a sound issue? [00:32] Dr_willis: thats why I suggested renaming the amarokrc file first [00:32] make a new user. see if it works for them. if so that shows that its a setting issue [00:32] Is there a doctor in the house? [00:33] I get nothig but static [00:33] ok, now that im on my kubuntu, what commands should i run after upgrading to gutsy? [00:33] Dr_willis: could also be a sql db error in the amorok setup hmm seen that before [00:33] I can hear the sound in the 'background', but masked with heavy static [00:34] michael_: sound like you have mute on [00:34] I have SB Audigy 5.1 [00:34] no [00:34] michael_: do you have on board sound ? [00:34] Hmm that card should be very well supported [00:34] everyone I talk to so far are stumped [00:34] Linux_Galore: Dr_willis: Ahh, cool, a second reboot fixed it! [00:34] You using the digital out? [00:34] michael_: ie on board and the and a sb card [00:35] yes, do you think they are conflicting? [00:35] can someone help me, my mouse keeps on freezing up, just upgraded to gutsy in hopes of abandoning the problem, but its followed me [00:35] michael_: no, whats happening is the machine is defaulting to your on board sound [00:35] http://segakatana.com/images/hardware/dclp100/gdrom/test_ptn/pulse_s.bmp [00:35] I am not able to load the Monitor & Display module in the System Settings. Any ideas how to fix this? USing Kubuntu. the error message is: "the module Monitor & Display could not be loaded" and I searched google and got nowhere [00:36] I thought I disabled the onboard sound, but not willing to bet my life on it [00:36] go to your bios and check [00:36] michael_: oj type asound list [00:36] I guess I will disable it in bios [00:36] oh ok [00:37] michael_: you will see two sound card/chipsets listed [00:37] btw - i'm a newbie [00:37] anyone have thoughts on ktorrent? i keep getting an input/output error reading from the cache of a file being downloaded.. fix? [00:37] oh btw ty guys [00:37] michael_: now what we will do is tell the sound manager what we want to set as the default [00:37] could remove the old data/cache [00:37] command not found [00:37] if anyone could help it would be greaty appreciated, mouse keeps on freezing up at random points, unplugging/replugging doesnt help, neither did upgrading to gutsy [00:37] for some reason konquer puts my tabs on the bottom instead of the top............... how do i fix this [00:38] Dr_willis: what do you mean? be more specific? [00:38] michael_: sorry asoundconf list [00:38] ahh k [00:38] ktorrent has a cache dir. delete the offending data. of course it could be some sort of disk issue going on [00:38] i deleted the data. it worked for a little bit, and then the same problem happened. [00:38] gives only Audigy [00:38] michael_: Im used to using autocomplete ie type asound [TAB] then list [00:39] Zabulus: what video card you have? [00:39] sounds like the driv4e may be having some issues.. or somthign really really weird with ktorrent [00:39] ...nvidia 7600gt, why? === mcrandello_ is now known as mcrandello [00:39] Does anyone know how to make my taskbar items (KBluetooth, KNetworkManager, Power Manager, etc.) not be displayed as widgets on the desktop, but in the taskbar next to KMix and Klipper, etc.? [00:39] i can read and write to the drive through other means. i think the problem must be with ktorrent. [00:39] how can i fix it, though? what could it be? [00:40] Zabulus: if it were a usb mouse and an ati card on a laptop I might have known a fix for it, sorry [00:40] thats ok, i wont be surprised if i never find a fix, im about to abandon linux entirely [00:40] Zabulus: MAN OVERBOARD! [00:40] been dealing with this mouse problem for over 12 months now [00:40] Linux_Galore: since Audigy is the only one listed, does that mean that the on-board sound is disabled for sure? [00:41] Zabulus: Took me 2 years to get my wireless working. [00:41] michael_: now type sudo soundconf set-default-card not can anybody here help me with a printer issue....i already used the cups forum on ubuntu but it didnt tell me where to get it from [00:41] i gave up on wireless too, but i got around that [00:41] although some things to look out for are how many devices are sharing irq, in my case it was a wifi card, modem, video card and the usb bus, the usb was usually the thing that shut down first [00:41] now* [00:41] moved the modem, have internet wire to me, everyone else gets wireless [00:41] dont mind that, but not being able to use the mouse kinda su@#$ [00:41] michael_: now type sudo soundconf set-default-card now is exactly what was listed when you typed asoundconf list [00:42] Zabulus: What's your mouse issue? [00:42] mouse freezes up at random times after startup, the mouse works fine in win xp, so im thinking its some compatability issue [00:42] and no, unplugging and replugging does not help [00:43] Linux_Galore: sudo: soundconf: command not found [00:43] Zabulus: change your mouse configuration [00:43] that's what made me think irq issue, once my usb stopped it wouldn't restart without a boot [00:43] michael_: asoundconf [00:43] k [00:43] to what? [00:43] Zabulus, I need drivers for a HP Deskjet 830C and 832C printer. any thoughts? [00:44] ummm, yeah, i have a thought, why are you asking me? im a linux newbie [00:44] Zabulus: usually you can select the default protocol in the setup [00:44] lol... [00:44] ie ms /logi / ps2 [00:45] Linux_Galore, I need drivers for a HP Deskjet 830C and 832C printer. any thoughts? [00:45] lovedeatm: you dont need drivers for a HP printer [00:45] Linux_Galore: got the list [00:45] ok, am i looking in the right place? system settings/keyboard and mouse? [00:46] id just manually edit the xorg.conf file. :) but im old-skool [00:46] lovedeatm: HP printers generally use the same setup within each family, you dont need a specific one for a specific model [00:46] Linux_Galore, then i have a definete printer issue because i can't print and i dont under stand why. i have the printer connect to an lpt port [00:46] id also install gpm for the console and see if the mouse works in the console [00:47] lovedeatm: hold on let me get the liunux-printing url they have a help databse telling what setup is advised [00:47] Linux_Galore, ok thanks [00:48] http://openprinting.org/printer_list.cgi [00:48] k ill let you know if it worked [00:48] !pastebin [00:48] 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) [00:48] lovedeatm: or you can just google the printer ie use www.google.com/linux [00:49] cups.org has printer info also. :) [00:49] Linux_Galore: mouse configuration under system settings/keyboard and mouse or what? [00:49] Linux_Galore: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/47482/ [00:49] lovedeatm: I havent hit a HP printer yet that doesnt work with cups (common unix print system) that comes standard with ubuntu [00:50] well HP has a low end color laser. that i hear has.. some what lacking.. linux support.. B/W worked.. but color dident. :( [00:50] it may been fixed by now [00:51] I think HP have a opensource help site too for Linux [00:51] yeah, I bought the HP OJ Pro L7680 just when the printer hit the shelves, brought it home and the driver was aiting for me when I got back home [00:52] michael_: your ignoring me [00:52] im amazed my mouse hasnt frozen up already, but im afraid to open up too many programs [00:52] michael_: now type sudo asoundconf set-default-card now is exactly what was listed when you typed asoundconf list [00:52] I sent you a link [00:52] see it? [00:53] michael_: yes it means you only typed asoundconf without telling asoundconf what you want it to do [00:53] Linux_Galore, so i went to the site and DLed the ppd jsut in case so how do i install..generlaly speaking [00:53] oh [00:53] michael_: lesseon 1, computers are idiots [00:53] lesson* [00:53] ahh [00:53] the ppd may allredy be inclided in the repos. I do recall there being some ppd packages not isntalled by default [00:54] michael_: dont tell what to do they will ask questions [00:54] michael_: now type sudo asoundconf set-default-card now is exactly what was listed when you typed asoundconf list [00:54] sudo asoundconf set-default-Audigy [00:54] hey, where is the grub config file located? [00:54] michael_: no - [00:54] michael_: just a space [00:55] got an evms question, I'll check #evms, but wanted to try here first... is it possible to have more than one volume per region [00:55] #grub [00:55] !mp3 | me [00:55] me: 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 [00:55] !grub [00:55] grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager.

[00:56] Sorry. the computer AND me are stupid [00:56] lol [00:57] michael_: between the command and the card [00:57] ok, well, found the grub config file, now, to make sure, is it safe to delete lines out of it? [00:57] ahh, got ya [00:57] ok did it [00:59] still have static [00:59] michael_: reboot then run alsamixer [01:00] Linux_Galore, so thank you for your help...it worked...for some reason i don't have any print drivers installed (or i just can't acces them even as a root)...any thought on that [01:00] ok [01:00] hi,i had remote desktop enabled and run ktorrent after awhile i got a msg saying the remote user has closed the connection === ninhobomba is now known as elpez [01:00] lovedeatm: do you have cups turned on ? [01:01] ok, can someone help me with the grub? when i started the update to gutsy from feisty, it added to lines to the grub menu, is it ok to delete the 2 lines for what im guessing is feisty? [01:01] is it possible for ktorrent to somehow interact with remote desktop? [01:01] if i buy a macbook laptop with intel conroe cpu... what type of package do i need then? [01:01] lovedeatm: K -> System Settings click on the advanced tab then click on services [01:01] i have been using ubuntu for a week.. put kde desktop on today but my menu and bakground are still gnome (even the about gnome is tehre).. anyone know hoe wo completely remove gdm? [01:02] !purekde [01:02] purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » [01:02] private me so it doesnt' get mixed up in the rest of the chat [01:02] lovedeatm: make sure cups is ticked to be started on boot and make sure it started if not start it [01:02] You can configure/tweak grub all you want by editing the /boot/grub/menu.lst file.. BACKUP your original just in case. and its well worth reading the docs on grub at the grub homepage. to learn the ins and outs of grub [01:03] Zabulus: ^^ [01:03] northpunk, what menu and background are you refering to? You can easially change your desktop wallpaper. [01:03] Linux_Galore, whers the tickER @ [01:04] lovedeatm: next to were it says cups [01:04] * flaccid_ pats his NAS [01:04] when it starts up it showes the dubuntu blue desktop.. but then the dnome brown comes back (the gnome wallpapersr are in the list nothing else).. the top menu shows the ubuntu brown logo.. not the blue gears of kubuntu [01:04] Linux_Galore, ok thanks [01:04] and in the system where it has about ubuntu.. it has teh brown logo.. and has about gnome still [01:04] if i buy a macbook laptop with intel conroe cpu... what type of cd do i need then? powerpc or i386 [01:05] i386 [01:05] starts up as kubuntu fine.. but when it loads goes back to gnome (but i used apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop gdm) [01:05] when whast starts up? The PC? or when X starts up? you may be refering to the boot up splash screen? [01:05] Hmmm [01:05] You dident need to remove ubuntu-desktop or gdm. [01:05] i didn't like it anymore anyways [01:05] sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm and be sure that kdm is selected.. [01:05] lovedeatm: make sure your in admin mode so click the button on the bottom right when you go into the services section [01:05] povray only has an interface for kde not gnome anyways.. and that is what started my decision to change it [01:06] ok, back and alsamixer is up [01:06] You can easially run kde apps under gnome. : ) and gnome apps under kde.. heh.. [01:06] when i do sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm it just goes back to my root line and doesn't display anything [01:07] what do I need muted and what needs to be on other than the suround speakers of course [01:07] northpunk: Think about that for a second [01:07] lovedeatm: bugger they have changed it, right click on cupsd then if it isnt market with "yes" to the right and start then do the same again and start at boot [01:07] northpunk: If you're logged in as root, why would you use sudo? === cheguevara is now known as CheGuevara [01:08] thanks MaTiAz, i might buy a macbook in the future the (if the screen resolution is mimimum 1920x1200) [01:08] well i'm not on as root or su right now [01:08] * Linux_Galore admins rhel machines all day so gets mixed up with user settings layouts [01:09] ok [01:09] Don't buy Apple products.

[01:09] apple is nice [01:09] Minataku: Got it :) [01:09] Minataku: Ive got one, for the life of me I cant think what people say they are easier I find them terribly confusing [01:10] Sure, if you think completely proprietary hardware is "nice". [01:10] Does anybody here play Enemy Territory? [01:10] Wolfenstein, not Quakr Wars [01:10] Linux_Galore, im goign to system ---> printer right/ [01:10] lovedeatm: no "services" [01:10] still have static [01:10] lovedeatm: in the advanced tab [01:11] michael_: run alsamixer in a terminal [01:11] Linux_Galore: OSX is based heavily off of NeXTSTEP, which was a horrible system if you ever had the misfortune of experiencing it [01:11] got it up [01:11] (they (we) are working you tonight, eh? [01:11] michael_: check mute and levels in each, you should see a whole pile of controls [01:11] I do [01:12] mic is at 0 [01:12] michael_: if you see all the controls that means the driver is working [01:12] everything else looks good [01:12] but I still get static [01:13] I just switched from Suse and it worked great with that [01:13] michael_: find a wav file and type aplay file.wav [01:13] i wish windows had this irc thingie..this make linuz so much easier than windows by like a conjillion times [01:13] There are two controls that carry importance, at least on my card [01:13] "Main" and "PCM" [01:13] lovedeatm: windows does have irc just no real community to talk of [01:14] Set one to 100%, and adjust the other one as desired [01:14] macbook pro or thinkpad T60? [01:14] o0o...lol...i wihs i had known about it then and that they had a community [01:14] I'm pretty sure I've seen a windows channel here on freenode [01:14] I set "Main" to 100% and adjust "PCM" [01:14] martijn81: Thinkpad T60 [01:14] But I personally and very highly recommend Toshiba laptops [01:15] RogueJediX: yeah, there are a few FOSS projects on windows but the community os very small [01:15] is* [01:15] I played a MP3 and get all static [01:15] Linux_Galore: Ah, I see [01:15] Linux_Galore, cupsys = yes = running [01:15] I've got two Toshiba machines running ATM [01:15] hard to have a community when one side keeps saying "we own it all and wont share", sort of puts a dent in the realtionship [01:15] One is from 2003 and is my primary system [01:15] The other is a collection piece from 1987 [01:16] lovedeatm: ok [01:16] when the hell will kde4 be released [01:17] !kde4 > devinus [01:17] yeah...ok i think i'm throuhg with question for the night thanks all for the help..im sure ill be back for me..im working on a server...using ubuntu..anyway lataz [01:17] When it's ready [01:17] lovedeatm: run sudo adept_manager [01:17] lovedeatm: lets get all the HP stuff installed [01:17] Linux_Galore, that should be kdesu, instead of sudo [01:17] gotta go [01:17] k [01:18] NickPresta: never used the k version in 3 years [01:18] later folks, thanks [01:18] Linux_Galore, that's fine, but http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo [01:18] I may have more time later [01:18] thanks Linux_Galore: [01:18] NickPresta: I know, un-needed fluster [01:19] ok so what do i now [01:19] type hp in the seach box [01:20] lovedeatm: what type of HP printer is it ? [01:20] now that my mouse is actually working, knock on wood, any suggestions on making the linux experience more pleasurable? [01:20] its an deskjet 832C and 830C [01:21] Hm [01:21] Zabulus: mplayer libdvdcss2 (medibuntu repo) [01:21] I just noticed that the Toshiba T1200 keyboard has the Ctrl key in the Unix position [01:22] Linux_Galore, 832C and 830C, i DLed the drivers though so it owrks now [01:22] lovedeatm: ok make sure the foomatic-hp-hpijs package is installed if not install it [01:22] lovedeatm: aah dont worry then [01:22] Linux_Galore, lol yeah its installed and thanks... [01:23] lovedeatm: might be wise though to install the correct drivers package [01:23] lovedeatm: that way you get any updates automatically [01:24] Linux_Galore, foomatic? yeah its installed [01:25] I find that by using windows for some time.. when i come back to Linux.. i find linux very pleasureable.. :) [01:26] Yes!! [01:26] I agree! [01:26] lovedeatm: also hpijs [01:26] gahh, now i get to figure out why audio card isnt working... [01:26] I have mixed feeling, windows does some things better linux others [01:26] Zabulus: networking working now? [01:27] my networking was fine, i was having problems with my mouse [01:27] I think it more to do with Linux not being supported by hardware makers than anything [01:27] I find some programs FOR windows - do some things better then some programs for linux. :) [01:27] oh... yeah... thats right [01:27] now im trying to play music, but im not hearing anything [01:27] Try them in Wine? [01:27] I fiddled with it for a long time [01:27] Vista seems to have been a step back in 'hardware' compatiability for a lot of my stuff... [01:27] And got most everything of mine going fine in wine [01:27] Zabulus: check and make sure all of the channels in kmix are maxxed and unmuted [01:27] Except for some games === michael__ is now known as chanshe [01:27] sucks when the HW makers decide to obsolete things. :) [01:28] I think Linux/BSD etc have an edge over windows thanks to the community === ubuntu is now known as N1ghtm4r3 [01:28] Im not sure how well Nero 8 would work with wine. Id live to see all of Nero8 and its tools ported to linux [01:28] I think Linux doesnt sell the community aspect enough and just talks software [01:29] Microsoft Achilles heal is the lack of a free and open community [01:29] Helo everybody [01:29] i am right now on my Kubuntu Live CD [01:29] everything in kmix is good [01:29] Linux_Galore, i just installed hpijs like you said anything else i should do? [01:29] See [01:30] If Linux had a footprint bigger than <1% [01:30] lovedeatm: well you can look at the other packages and see what you like but thats all I installed form my HP jet stuff [01:30] I'm sure we'd get alot of the Windows software too [01:30] =] [01:30] Zabulus: hrm... what audio chipset? [01:30] im going to reinstall Kubuntu again [01:30] i have a soundblaster audigy 4 [01:31] due to previous problems [01:31] Linux_Galore, ok, can you have a look at this question and give me your thought http://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/19501 [01:31] !hardware | Zabulus look it up on this page [01:31] Zabulus look it up on this page: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport [01:31] audigy 4? that the xi-fi card? [01:32] or is it called X-fi - i forget. [01:33] thats whats weird, i think it was working with feisty [01:33] maybe the bios turned my onboard audio back on... [01:33] Dr_willis, it's X-Fi, but that isn't the same as the audigy 4 card, IIRC [01:33] lovedeatm: why RTSS, I just use nfs [01:34] Well last i heard the 'x-fi' cards for some odd reason - creative had released 64bit drivers.. but not 32bit drivers... [01:34] whats nfs... [01:34] I havent kept up on it lately. My Audigy2 is still doing the job. :) [01:34] !nfs [01:34] nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. [01:34] Dr_willis, yeah. I was checking it out today: http://connect.creativelabs.com/linux/default.aspx [01:34] !nfs [01:34] Dr_willis, the 64bit drivers aren't too great but at least they're available :) [01:35] Yep. Creative really dropped the ball with their x-fi stuf.. i was going to get one.. but decided to not bother. [01:35] !nfs > lovedeatm [01:35] lovedeatm: user | [01:36] thats for the file sharing side...RTSS is for streaming audio [01:36] lovedeatm: user | subject [01:36] funny how i can install Linux very easily and run whatever programs i want at the same time [01:36] the only problem to this is that my computer's fan becomes very loud lol! [01:37] lovedeatm: what not icecast [01:37] well, i think ill check bios to see if onboard got activated somehow [01:37] brb [01:37] lovedeatm: why not icecast [01:38] Linux_Galore, i have icecast...im more concerned about the workstations part of the question [01:38] i want to make a keyboard shortcut for /etc/acpi/hibernate.sh, i changed its permission, but i still cant use it w/o being root. anything i can do? [01:38] because i still need to be able to run things like final cut pro and garagband on the mac\ [01:39] lovedeatm: aaah proprietary lock in [01:40] ilife<- talks to -> ilife [01:40] Linux_Galore, i know on windows i could install mac stuff on to windows if i install it in a mac enviorment..can i do the same with linux i guess is the important question..then just set permissions on linux to that folder === gollum is now known as gollum_ [01:43] Linux_Galore, i know on windows i could install mac stuff on to windows if i install it in a mac enviorment..can i do the same with linux i guess is the important question..then just set permissions on linux to that folder. can i do that [01:43] yay, simple fix [01:43] lovedeatm: havwent got a clue I only have 1 apple machine and I dont use it for media [01:44] Zabulus: works now? [01:44] yep, my onboard audio somehow got turned back on [01:44] Zabulus: what was the fix for the mouse? [01:44] Linux_Galore, o...i have a top that won't install linux on it...thats another log gruling thing and im sure your tired and dont want to help woth that its late ya'now [01:44] now im just hoping that doesnt mess something up with my win xp [01:45] im not actually sure what fixed the mouse, im not even sure its entirely fixed or if i havent set off whatever triggers it to freeze [01:45] lovedeatm: Ive got a G3 lap and Linux is not well supported on ppc anymore Im finding [01:45] Linux_Galore: yellow-dog is supposed to be good [01:46] lovedeatm: unless you have a server then its fine [01:46] Zabulus: XD [01:46] ok, any more suggestions for a better linux experience? [01:46] yeah, i keep knocking on wood every time i say my mouse is working [01:46] knock on wood [01:46] Zabulus: don't do anything until you know exactly what it does. [01:46] Linux_Galore, lol not a server check it out...this is what happened after following all the directions for a G# lombard, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/19141 [01:47] now i have to figure out which of my games i can play on linux [01:47] G38 [01:47] G3* [01:47] UT2004, Doom, Neverwinter NIghts [01:48] Neverwinter Nights great [01:48] :p [01:48] works all fine [01:48] wow works pretty well under wine now [01:48] hi all, i have problems with the sound, i cant put the sound UP its like 30% and my KMix doesnt work .. [01:49] smooker: run alsamixer [01:49] well, which doom? and how about unreal anthology? [01:50] Zabulus: all of the dooms [01:50] awesome [01:50] there is also a pile of open source doom engine games [01:50] * Zabulus grabs doom trilogy [01:50] Wolfenstein is good too [01:50] as well as Saurbraten [01:50] also some unreal engine based games too [01:51] Alien Arena for example [01:51] i think i have too many games [01:51] nahhhh [01:52] thanks it was like 70% in alexamixer but stil not hearing as before [01:52] Zabulus: No such thing as "too many games" [01:52] proubly i have other mixers with the players come ? [01:52] Im am mame person and Linux is the king of emulation support [01:52] a* [01:52] yes there is, when you dont have enough time to play 1/4 of the games you have [01:53] soup all... i have Feisty installed on an old lappy. the cd-rom recently died. would i be able to download the Gusty .iso and mount it while runny Feisty to install 7.10? [01:53] I must be the only person with over 40 different version or space invaders [01:53] you should be able to use feisty do update, not have to use image [01:53] Zabulus: I have a corrupted version of 7.04 already :/ [01:54] I must be the only person with over 40 different versions of space invaders [01:54] ouch [01:54] you said that [01:54] zabulus: i have no directory other than "root" [01:54] zabulus: which contains "desktop" and thats *all* [01:54] how the hell did you do that? [01:55] Are you viewing "hidden" files/folders? [01:55] zabulus: don't know. booting one day, it said it found errors on the disk, and to run fsck. So i did, and when i finally was able to get into X, everything was gone [01:55] user_: sudo -s then look [01:56] ardchoille, linux_galore: i can try that, but i'd like to do a fresh install of 7.10 [01:56] 40 different versions of space invaders, i think ive played 10-20 different versions, dont have any installed on my comp [01:56] am i able to mount the .iso while running Feisty? [01:56] networking is all i have that still works [01:56] user_: standard user on 7.04 cant view root directories from memory [01:56] have a few versions for ps2, one of those "collections" games [01:57] Has anybody here ever given Virtualbox a go before? [01:57] linux_galore: maybe i phrased it wrong - when i open konqueror, it automatically opens root (file:///), and in there is "Desktop". There are *no* other directories (ie, /usr, /bin/ /home) [01:57] If so, what was the performance like? [01:58] user_: correct that is exactly right [01:58] linux_galore: so what is the fix? [01:58] user_: you opened konqueror as a "user" users dont change root directories on root does [01:58] only* [01:59] neville: works great here [01:59] i used to be able to view all directories before, now i can't even open /home [01:59] user_: type sudo konqueror [01:59] ok, so what changed? [01:59] why could i view all my directories before, but not now? [01:59] user_: basically your user isnt an administrator [01:59] neville: I'm running windows in it, it's not much slower than native [01:59] hey, is there a game like bust a move that i can dl? [01:59] neville: having some problems with drm devices though which kind of makes it moot [02:00] user_: check your user settings, basically your machine is in normal secure mode [02:00] linux_galore: so i do i revert back to the way it was? [02:00] linux_galore: i wouldn't know where to look, as i didn't knowingly change anything- this all started after running fsck [02:00] neville: also turn off composite effects on the DT if you want to run windows in seamless mode, it causes refresh problems otherwise [02:00] Ahh [02:01] Because, I wasp lanning on putting Windows 98 on it, and seeing if Starcraft would run well === rob1 is now known as rob [02:01] Due to Wine not entirely liking Starcraft [02:01] I don't think it does accellerated 3d if it uses that [02:01] Starcraft is direct draw 3 =] [02:01] hehe, bomberman!!! [02:02] Only needs a 90MHz processor, 16Mb ram [02:02] user_: The root directory (/) contains a file called /.hidden. Open this in a text editor and delete the names of the directories which you want to have shown. [02:02] insane requirements. [02:02] Tell that to me when I had my pentium 90, and I'll be inclined to agree =P [02:02] user_: you will have to open the file with sudo [02:03] Thanks for the input though mcrandello [02:03] so whats a good version of bomberman on here? [02:03] ksudo kedit [02:03] multiplayer version hopefully... [02:04] linux_galore: thanks! that probably will work. But now, I'm still interested in being able to mount an .iso of 7.10 (seems better to do fresh install - people have had issues upgrading). Is this possible? [02:04] !upgrade [02:04] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:05] Linux_Galore: i don't want to upgrade- I want to do a fresh install, hopefully without the aid of flash drive (don't have one) or cd-rom (recently died) [02:06] user_: I don't suppose it can net-boot? [02:06] linux_galore: if this isn't possible, i'll try the upgrade [02:06] user_: that's going to be very complicated I would think [02:06] user_: How many hard drives do you have? [02:06] user_: just upgrade, it will just replace the old packages [02:06] ardchoille: only one [02:06] partitions? [02:07] user_: Ok, you're going to need one partition to use while the installer is running and another partition to hold the new system it is installing to. Can you see why that wouldn't be a good thing with only one drive? [02:07] hey, does anyone know of a good multiplayer online version of bomberman? the more like bomberman party edition it is the better [02:07] ardchoille: yeah, i understand... fortunately, repartitoning is fairly easy [02:08] ardchoille: think about the path your taking, have you got a spare 3 hours [02:08] Linux_Galore: That's exactly what I was trying to get user_ to realise [02:09] ok, i get it! :) I'll re-open hidden files, and upgrade like everyone else [02:09] user_: basically with Linux almost anything can be done, the down side is your going to have to blow 3-4 hours way of your time to get there [02:09] away* [02:10] user_: the hidden files are not hidden to the root user only to the normal user [02:10] linux_galore: why would it take 3 hours to mount 2 drives and copy an O/S to one? [02:10] as onlg as you have "cp" anything is possible [02:10] user_: updates are a root process so those directories wont be hidden [02:10] linux_galore: ok, so i can skip that step if i just want to upgrade, right? [02:11] I can just use [02:11] Adept to upgrade then? [02:12] user_: backup files, resize partitions, partition hard disk, the list goes on [02:12] user_: just read the following link [02:12] !upgrade [02:12] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [02:13] alright, alright. I'll try it. thanks everyone for the help! [02:14] heh [02:14] I usually just save /home and flush the system [02:15] Better to put /home on its own partition [02:15] ardchoille: I do that but I have had installers totally ignore my instructions and stuff up /home [02:16] Linux_Galore: eh?never had that happen.. [02:17] finally [02:17] xcell [02:17] ya [02:18] Everything ok? [02:18] Linux_Galore: Oh, that's not good. [02:18] ardchoille: yeah especially when I didnt back it up for a month [02:19] its still ubuntu, i couldnt get the modem to dial, [02:19] i finally through much trial and error got it to query, and it goes on to initialize, but will not get the dial tone nor dial === Evil_DuDe_ is now known as Evil_DuDe [02:19] Deu: brb..stand by. [02:19] think it was a red hat bug on the installer ie use whole disk but not this bit conflict [02:20] so now I always backup the /home directory/partition [02:22] k [02:22] its still ubuntu, i couldnt get the modem to dial, [02:22] i finally through much trial and error got it to query, and it goes on to initialize, but will not get the dial tone nor dial [02:23] man I totally love my N810 with canola 2 (media player) [02:23] Tomorrow..bring the modem and sys with you..k? [02:23] got my holidays coming up so i can take some movies that I havent watched yet and sit on the beach and relaxe [02:23] let me try a little more 1st [02:24] ?modem [02:24] k stand bye...ask ardchoille he can help. [02:24] serial modems are the only way !!! [02:24] god no, not dial up I hope [02:25] if u saw where i lived, youde be concidered rich to have even that [02:25] ardchoille: I put brand new Kubuntu using high speed..he took it home and has dial up. [02:25] eeewww @ dialup [02:25] * ardchoille knows nothing about dialup [02:25] deuryte: Im spoilt I must admit 22mb connection [02:25] yum, yum. he he he i luv dial up!! [02:25] He has no choice ardchoille. [02:26] Xcell: satelite [02:26] Please walk him through it.thanks [02:26] umm hi [02:27] I spent 20 years on dialup, never will I go back [02:27] 1200 baud terminal connections argh!

[02:47] what do you think it is?? it queries and finds the modem, but when i attempt to dial out, it doesnt go any further than to initialize..... [02:47] NIXPIX: I think it works either way [02:48] ok...so how do i test to see if that solved the prob [02:48] It has to be configured...tomorrow..not now. [02:48] ok, how do i stop my mouse from freezing?

[02:54] NIXPIX: the bars I suspect are an error in your setup ie refresh/resolution is out fo sync [02:54] of* [02:54] and? [02:54] become root while using the live cd. the laptop's drive won't boot and need to recover some files off from it. ive already mounted the partition but cant see inside it. [02:54] change desktop size [02:54] ? [02:55] Is there a way to adjust gamma or overall screen brightness? [02:55] NIXPIX: well I usually just run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [02:55] that SHOULD fix...or tell me whats wrong [02:55] deu: I am in another room say my full nic when needed. [02:55] deuryte [02:56] NIXPIX: that allows you to play with the settings, its a helper app [02:56] Guys there are so many processes in Ksysguard, what to do? [02:56] neo: what live cd are you using? kubuntu? [02:56] o [02:56] ran sudo mount /dev/sda1 to-mount-point but the ubuntu live cd user cant cd into it [02:56] xserver driver...

[02:58] need help, my mouse keeps on freezing up, can anyone assist me? [02:58] Can I list say five or ten processes name here at a time and you can tell me which ones to kill? [02:58] hrp2171: You don't need su, use sudo [02:58] hrp2171: try sudo su === ubuntu is now known as Linha [02:59] this might help...when i installed the gl driver from restricted drivers manager [02:59] awesome nyork [02:59] neo: yep.. let's try.. [02:59] it didnt have this problem [02:59] thanks [02:59] nyork: That's not recommended nor supported. [02:59] Zabulus: started happening again? [02:59] hrp2171: you are the root user now? :-) [02:59] yep... [03:00] i was doing different stuff, tried to go to myspace, and it froze [03:00] ardchoille: im using the live cd to recover some files off my niece's laptop because the drive won't boot anymore. [03:00] Zabulus: any clue at all what you did? do a "dmesg" see if the kernel is doing something. [03:00] sudo -c is not to be used unless you have your head screwed on [03:00] acpid, aio/0 artsd aspell ata/0 ata-aux atd avahi-daemon bash cron cupsd [03:00] seems like it happens when the computer is loading something [03:00] sudo is all that is needed. Been using it for years and haven't needed anyting else [03:00] Linux_Galore: i know how to run with scissors LOL [03:01] xcell [03:01] ummmm, dmesg has a nice long output [03:01] VOICE ME NIGGERS [03:01] ardchoille: depends, I often have long admin sessions and sudo can be annoying [03:01] ya [03:01] neo: list all process not only those for the user [03:01] the "j" room is now back open... [03:02] Zabulus: just look at the last 20 lines or so( if you haven't rebooted since your mouse froze) [03:02] Its all, should I list enter more now. [03:02] lol b right there. [03:02] sources.list.save is a backup of the original sources.list? [03:02] lol not 4 me. [03:02] ardchoille: for 5 minute admin sessions sudo is fine but for reconfiguring apache or mysql on a server forget it [03:02] polo2: maybe. === cheguevara is now known as Che|sleep [03:03] am i looking for something specific? im too new to linux... [03:03] Linux_Galore: sudo vim apache2.conf? [03:03] maybe? is posible not? [03:03] neo: in the process table tab .... you can use the list all processes drop down... [03:03] ardchoille: 1 file, now the other few thousand root only files I have [03:03] sub[t]rnl: Alright cool, thank you! My color still doesn't match a gif I made in gimp when viewed from my windows computer... [03:04] Linux_Galore: maybe you miss sudo -s ? :-) [03:04] The real problem with sudo is that if you mess with your hostname, you're out of your PC [03:05] yeah sorry typo sudo -s === narg_ is now known as narg [03:05] sigh, to many command flags [03:05] xcell, non responding [03:05] is -s similar to -i? [03:06] ya I cant go.lol [03:06] nosrednaekim: am i looking for something specific? [03:07] mcrandello: -s: shows sizes with -l. -l only show long list format [03:07] Zabulus: anything to do with USB or mouse [03:07] Zabulus: did you reboot since it froze last? [03:07] nope [03:08] mcrandello: (if you where talking about sudo :-) ) similar but not the same. -s only starts a shell in the current dir, -i simulates a login for the root user [03:08] i dont see anything about usb or mouse... [03:08] sudo -i changes the user variable -s doesnt ie $PATH etc [03:08] Zabulus: soo how are you working without a mouse? [03:09] alt+tab and what not [03:09] 4am... time to go to sleep for me ^^' good night to all [03:09] RobertoM_[away]: so then -s would be a lot handier in a lot of instances where I don't want to change dirs to /root [03:09] (night) [03:09] Zabulus: lol, ok....try doing "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log" and look at the last 20 or so lines of that for anything relating to mouse or input [03:09] thanks guys. worked wonderfully. [03:10] deuryte [03:10] yo [03:10] mcrandello: yes if you what to stick to your admin user variables -s is better [03:10] whats up [03:10] tail -lines 20 /var/log/Xorg.0.log [03:10] pondering modemic epidemic [03:10] acpid, aio/0 artsd aspell ata/0 ata-aux atd avahi-daemon bash cron cupsd dbus-daemon dcopserver dd dhsdbd dhclient events/0 getty hald hald-addon-acpi hald-addon-keyb hald-addon-stor hald-runner hcid init kaccess kacpid kacpi_notify katapult kblockd/0 kblueplugd kded kdeinit kdesktop kdm khelper khubd kicker kinfocenter kio_file kio_uiserver kjournald klauncher klipper klogd kmix knetworkmanager knotify kondemand/0 konqueror konsole konversation kpsmoused [03:10] krfcommd kseriod ksmserver ksoftirqd/0 ksuspend_usbd kswapd0 ksysguard ksysguardd kthreadd kwin kwrapper migration/0 NetworkManager NetworkManagerD pdflush scsi_eh_0 scsi_eh_1 sh ssh-agent start_kdeinit syslogd udevd watchdog/0 Xorg s-session-manag [03:10] oops, should be --lines [03:11] yeah, pretty much everything i can see has to do with input/mouse [03:11] Zabulus: can you pastebin it?

[03:11] Zabulus: you registered? if so...PM me and paste it there [03:11] yes [03:12] neo: you can sort these processes such that it is arranged from process intensive to lesser [03:12] neo: select it then stop it with the button down the bottom [03:12] ok, but it might take a while, and it might be a mess [03:12] VMsize?

[03:21] neo: if you want, could be you have too much crud running, it does add up [03:21] crud?

[03:23] ok should I increase the ram [03:23] I cant install anything :shock: [03:24] deuryte [03:24] neo: One thing you could do is kill konqueror if you don't use it much. I'm not sure why the devs made d3lphin the default fm and then left 2 konq procs running all the time. [03:24] path_: I had the same bug a while back in feisty [03:24] how do I kill a process? [03:24] deuryte [03:25] Linux_Galore and you fixed it ? [03:25] sup [03:25] neo: right click on the process then click on the [KILL] button down the bottom [03:25] alt+f2+kppp [03:25] path: they have this thread in ubuntu forum.. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=167504&highlight=VIM [03:25] path_: yes, Im trying to remember how, it was a package script bug [03:25] there is no kill option [03:26] what is that?? [03:26] path: i just don't know if that will also work for you.. [03:26] lol [03:26] ok, now, how do i do that? (forgive my ignorance) [03:26] [22:26] ctrl+alt+backspace..

[03:26] bocopy your connection statistics on paper..and boot kubuntu and press alt+f2 and put (kppp) and enter info [03:27] path_: I have the feeling it was ripping kde out and putting it back that fixed it [03:27] nyork It worked :D [03:27] path,Linux_Galore: hope you did not experience the hal errors during the upgrade ... [03:27] bocopy ?? [03:27] copy [03:27] nyork: lol, no [03:28] path: awesome..

[03:28] neo: did you run ksysguard ie sudo ksysguard [03:28] Never run a gui app with sudo. use kdesudo [03:28] nyork: i have to do a clean install of gutsy rather than an upgrade due to those errors.. that was a few days after the release.. i got my lesson.. upgrade after a month.. [03:28] !kdesudo [03:28] i need some help for kubuntu concerning a synaptics touch pad [03:28] In KDE, use « kdesudo » (Gutsy) or « kdesu » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [03:29] bottom right..click on the small computer screen [03:29] yes and I found the kill button, I was looking for it in the context menu(that how I did it in windows) [03:29] neo: I did say "down the bottom" [03:30] Sorry and thanks, so would you suggest I should get more ram? [03:30] it just showed connection speed and ip address.. no data there for modem configs [03:30] Ya sorry, my mistake. [03:30] neo: yeah, I added another 512meg on the last update [03:30] system.network settings..go from there [03:30] neo: mainly sue to firefox sucking up my ram [03:30] due* [03:30] sys admin.net settings [03:31] neo: 512m of ram is dirt cheap right now [03:31] Ya it does that and I am definitely upping my ram [03:31] Need to get 583MB/597MB of archives. [03:31] I have p3 I wonder if it supports 1g ram [03:31] thats pretty nice [03:31] 4 [03:31] k [03:31] neo: firefox 3 is fixing the ram problem [03:32] I think firefox 3 is on the repo too [03:32] that would be nice and I can't wait to use it, I love FF. [03:33] path: so you are continuing the upgrade..? [03:33] yep doing an dist-upgrade from 6.06 to 7.10 I guess [03:33] hey all, any way to transfer an .avi file to an ipodvideo? [03:33] gutsy if Im not mistaken nyork ? [03:33] the configs on this setup are no where near the same......... [03:33] neo: i think it do support 1gb...

[03:44] i installed Kubuntu restricted stuff [03:44] flash still dont work ... wtf [03:44] and [03:45] open the ff browser and go to a known flash site and it will prompt you [03:45] n1ghtm4r3: be careful there are two versions of flash on the repo make sure you install the adobe one [03:45] xcell: i dont have firefox [03:46] install it..it will work universally..do it from add remove/internet [03:46] n1ghtm4r3: ie install flash-plugin-nonfree [03:46] is that bug/md5 issue with flash still going on? [03:47] it keeps saying me that another process is using the database ... WTF [03:47] well I dont have any flash issues [03:48] n1ghtm4r3: do you have an other adept sessions open ? [03:48] Linux_galore: not realy [03:48] another* [03:48] n1ghtm4r3: it wont allows two sessions [03:49] n1ghtm4r3: ..do a (sudo apt get update..when error appears do this.. [03:49] !aptfix [03:49] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [03:49] Linux_Galore: i have this msg: You are not using "bash" as your default shell. This is most likely because you are using Ubuntu which links the default shell to the "dash" shell. See http://liquidweather.net/howto/index.php?id=59 on how to fix this. thinliquidfilm won't work properly unless you fix this. [03:49] any idae? [03:49] will it matter? [03:50] all aptitude related programs will not acess the internet, how do I fix this? [03:50] !aptfix [03:50] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [03:50] that's not the problem [03:50] oh [03:50] how to fix it? heh tghe fix is for them to do their shell scripts right. :) [03:50] posingaspopular: see the link in the message you pasted? [03:50] the aptitude programs function correctly [03:50] just they won't acess the internet [03:51] I can reinstall programs who's packages have already been downloaded [03:51] although their justificationis are a bit not at all right [03:51] I can uninstall programs [03:51] that 'fix' for fixing dash/bash is totally wrong in its 'reasons' [03:51] yes [03:52] but apdept manager, apt-get, adept updater, aptitude, etc will not access the internet [03:52] can anyone help me? [03:52] and its wrong in how to propely set /bin/sh to be bash. :0 [03:52] Dr_willis: it is a fix for those just starting..and will allow them to continue. [03:52] no [03:52] Xcell, yes. but theres the proper way to fix it.. then there his changes [03:52] it is a broken [03:52] !dash [03:52] /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash [03:52] Dr_willis: post the fix then. [03:52] Heh that factoid has a typo also. [03:53] /bin/sh is required to be a posix shell [03:53] if the script uses BASH then it shoudl call bash with #!/bin/bash NOT #!/bin/sh [03:53] not a bash shell [03:53] #room [03:53] ok so can anyone help me? [03:53] the scripts are using 'bash' features - which do not exist in sh. [03:53] this is a serious problem... I was thinking of reinstalling linux but then I'd have to start from scratch and I'd rather not do that [03:54] Nicely done [03:54] Dr_willis: [03:54] !adept [03:54] adept is the Kubuntu package manager. Howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdeptHowto [03:54] the proper way to change dash to bash is ----> sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash [03:54] But: beginners cant get that far and are not afforded that info on a daily basis. [03:55] Xcell: so the scripts need to behave properly [03:55] Xcell, totally wrong.. that sites fix had them doing all sorts of things... [03:55] sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash --> asks a Simple YES/NO [03:55] HELP [03:55] rob_: be patient [03:55] the true fix is for the scripts to quit relying on the bash 'bug' of allowing bash features when called as sh. [03:55] ok ok hydrogen I'll hold on [03:55] k [03:55] rob, does 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade' work? [03:56] But like I said: Beginners who come here dont get that info readily. [03:56] posingaspopular: I found it didnt ,atter [03:56] posingaspopular: matter* [03:56] I never seen it till U just posted it Dr_willis [03:56] Xcell, sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash = - is much more clear then their fix.. and the script writers need to be told of the bug in their script. [03:56] Xcell: they do if the friendly people who answer questions answer it [03:57] !dash shows it properly [03:57] Xcell, when they first did the dash change. there was a lot of scriopts that got broke. [03:57] hydrogen: That is a rarity. [03:57] most of them that i know are now fixed. [03:57] posingaspopular: easy to change the default back to bash though sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash [03:57] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh explains the reasons and issues. [03:58] Thanks Dr_willis. [03:58] That should be the fix that ubotu should show. === neville is now known as neville__ [03:59] The fix at the liquid weather site.. leads me to belive the guy dident research the dash program/problem very much. :) [03:59] yea theres a typo in the bots factoid it seems [03:59] !dash [03:59] /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash [03:59] Dr_willis: U have experience..beginners do not..have a little mercy. [03:59] ah i see.. thanks guys [03:59] Thats the 'core' of the bugs with lots of scripts.. but theres other things to watch for. [04:00] it doesn't matter atm because ubutnu decided to not see or mount my ipod again. whatever i'll deal with this some other time [04:00] Xcell, i dident make the incorrect howto at that site. Im jut explaining how its wrong. [04:00] k [04:00] My apologizies [04:00] i was about to post to their forum to give them the proper info.. but i aint going to register for that. :) [04:00] Dont blame ya [04:01] ok this is rob_ [04:01] someone just kicked me off of that nickname [04:01] Hi, I am trying to use doxygen w/ default options. [04:01] It generates colored code html... [04:01] Hi from Mexico [04:01] Zomb: bill gates is atching you. [04:01] but no function lists or classlists. How do I get it to do the cool stuff? [04:02] watching [04:02] this nick is registered to me [04:02] wow i think my conection is angry at me lol [04:02] so Bill Gates can't to crap to me [04:02] exuse my french [04:02] lol [04:02] j/k Zomb. [04:03] Tu parle français Zombocom? [04:03] Dr_willis: Could I enter that info and continue as is right now? [04:03] I have an old machine running winxp, mainly so I can connect some of my weird portable devices [04:03] my desktop is Linyx [04:03] damint I'm having more and more odd problems [04:03] Linux* [04:04] Zombocom: U on 64 bit? [04:04] Xcell, i got it straight from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DashAsBinSh , its the 'proper' way to set /bin/sh to be bash or dash on a ubuntu system. :) [04:04] yes Xcell as a matter of fact I am [04:04] k Dr_willis thanks man. [04:05] I must admit though I rarely use the winXP machine for connecting stuff anymore [04:05] Does anyone know of command that would display the file size of an entire directory? [04:05] and i Have edited some of those wiki pages. :) not many but some. [04:05] Good job. [04:06] there is a weird way of transfering video file to your ipod, use Amarok, Im not kidding it works [04:06] Zombocom: I used the 32 bit kubuntu to avoid problems when learning linux..that was a personal decision. [04:06] I'm not really learning [04:06] normally I can maintain a system pretty well [04:06] only down side is it doesnt name the file properly on the ipod [04:06] it's when stuff like this happens [04:07] I'm going to uninstall something that I think could be at fault here [04:07] but you can see the video file on the ipod and play it [04:07] Do the 32 bit thing..you will be much happier. [04:07] SuprUsr, du -c --si -max-depth=0 DIR `man du` for more information [04:07] this wouldn't be that big an annoyance had I not just uninstalled kdm [04:07] SuprUsr, 'du -hs' is what i often use in a dir [04:07] by a freak accident [04:08] !aptfix [04:08] If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » [04:09] I find sudo dpkg --configure -a on its own works most of the time [04:09] SuprUsr, listen to Dr_willis. I forgot about "summarize" :) [04:09] xcell [04:10] ya [04:10] heh heh.. [04:10] Dr_willis: Thanks. [04:10] My Bash Prompt shows me the amount of Files in the current dir. :) [04:10] Anyway to concactenate the "music [04:10] ? [04:10] willis@MythBox:~(2650.329 Mb)$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash [04:10] no go, keeps hangin in the initialize state. then drops out after 1.5 min [04:10] see i got 2650 mb in that dir. :) [04:11] I just want a number and k/m/GB [04:11] k bring tomorrow afternoon and will fix.

[04:26] Zombocom, yea. but i dont think just installing a proxy server would edit the system settings like that. [04:26] oh shit... [04:26] I'm introuble [04:27] lool keep lisrening to Dr_willis..lol [04:27] almost everything is gone [04:27] in the systems part of the kicker === neville is now known as neville__ [04:27] oh god [04:28] enjoy. [04:28] Xcell... [04:28] what happened [04:28] ya [04:28] adept_manager is gone [04:28] adept_updater is gone [04:28] ............... [04:29] wow um... [04:29] this program shouldn't even exist [04:29] yeah... [04:29] sudo apt-get touch /forcefsck and re boot to make files repaired. [04:29] Thats all I know. [04:29] invalid operation touch [04:30] oi [04:30] That sounds bad Zombocom - You dont have anything super imporntant on the system do ya? [04:30] If so i'd be backing up stuff right now. [04:30] Dr_willis not really... [04:30] starcraft is on this drive though... [04:30] I kinda like starcraft [04:30] push the reset buton..hurry [04:30] 'sudo toucn /forcefsck' i think is the right command. [04:30] lol [04:30] 'sudo touch /forcefsck' i think is the right command. [04:31] no returns [04:31] geesus [04:31] jeesus [04:31] that makes a file on the / that will make the system check the filesystem on next boot.. if no error came out.. thats good. [04:31] just reboot and enter it and reboot..no worries [04:31] lol [04:31] ok this is bad [04:31] do I shut down normally? [04:31] not as bad as it first sounded.. [04:31] :) [04:31] Re boot dont be silly [04:32] ok have linux shutdown or do I just do an unclean reboot [04:32] your sys is adjar...reboot [04:32] just have it reboot [04:32] lol [04:32] how to install xmms-1.2.11.tar.gz in my system [04:32] !source [04:32] You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html [04:32] Oh, wait. [04:32] sakthian, why are you installing xmms from source in the first place? [04:33] !info xmms [04:33] xmms: Versatile X audio player. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:1.2.10+20070601-1 (gutsy), package size 2101 kB, installed size 6292 kB [04:33] Old version? [04:33] ok 1 or 2... 1 as in hold down shutdown untill system powers off by force or 2 enter sudo shutdown -r now in the terminal [04:33] xmms is not that old. :) [04:33] Well, I dunno? [04:33] Anyway. [04:33] xmms IS old.. i mean.. and its proberly best to start using some other tools.. :) but the version in the repo is not that old from the one he has. [04:33] Dr_willis: How do you trim out the directory name when you run "du -hs" [04:33] sudo shutdown -r now [04:34] kk [04:34] SuprUsr, what dir name? [04:34] du -hs [04:34] 80K . [04:34] you mean the . ? [04:34] 24G . [04:34] Yes. [04:34] guess ya could use awk for that. [04:34] The dot. [04:34] waits. [04:34] check the du options - it may have it also. [04:35] Dr_willis: I did. Nothing seems to be in there. :/ [04:35] du -s [04:35] 203012472 [04:35] oh wait it had the . also. :) heh [04:35] Or else I'm not looking hard enough... I've stared at the manpage for du for a few minutes. [04:36] I thought grep might be able to do it, but I guess not. :/ [04:36] grep prints out lines matching a pattern. [04:36] Yeah. [04:36] awk/sed edit input out. [04:37] Zombocom hasnt returned..oi. [04:37] du -s | awk '{print $1}' [04:37] 203012472 [04:38] :P [04:38] Dr_willis: Awesome. [04:38] Thanks. :) [04:38] how to install .tar.gz [04:38] awk is worth learning a bit of.. [04:38] sakthian, uncompress it.. read its docs.. installthe needed libs/C compiler. do the './configure make, and make install' procedure [04:39] whats that other program similar to awk is it called sed? [04:39] sed and awk sort of are like... salt and pepper. :) [04:39] both work well together. :) [04:39] sed is easier to use [04:39] but ya often perfer one to the other. [04:40] true [04:40] Yep. sed is good for a lot of the similer needs. [04:40] but can't awk do more? [04:40] perl can also do a lot of things. [04:40] awk is... sort of amazing in what it can do. [04:40] more amazing then sed? [04:40] I have the using sed/awk book. [04:40] ah [04:40] Yes. awk is much more amazing/flexiable/powerfull then sed [04:40] I learned how to sort of use it off of the acm [04:41] online courses [04:41] awk supports more complex commands better than sed I find [04:41] i belive ive seen games written in awk. :) [04:41] written by SICK people! :) [04:41] there are lots of things created by sick people [04:42] in many senses [04:42] same people who write lisp games heh [04:42] http://doc.novsu.ac.ru/oreilly/unix/sedawk/index.htm [04:42] not sure how legal that url is.. :) [04:42] the same people who made........ [04:43] ufdsfasdffhdhhsdffhdtht [04:43] dam [04:43] i just slamed my keyboard [04:43] woops [04:43] anyone have problems with compiz fusion causing a total system freeze on a regular basis? [04:43] no [04:43] :) [04:43] mine was working fine for about a month [04:43] and then last week it started freezing randomly [04:43] then what? [04:44] yes [04:44] ah [04:44] i havn't changed anything to my knowledge [04:44] I still have time left for that [04:45] another thing that is interesting, at around the time my system started freezing randomly, firefox also stopped saving my previous sessions [04:45] even though i have it set to restore session on start [04:46] hmmm [04:46] interesting [04:46] yes [04:46] hehe [04:46] it sucks [04:46] restart xorg? [04:47] lots of things suck [04:47] re config xorg? [04:47] well, everything seems to be working fine just using kwin though [04:47] dunno [04:48] and compiz seems to work perfect as well, just after about 30 min of using it [04:48] it freezes [04:48] maybe vid card overheating? [04:48] ya [04:48] it is odd, if i boot up with compiz [04:48] prolly [04:48] and then go away, and don't use my computer [04:48] it is fine [04:48] how old is your computer? [04:48] but then if i start using it [04:48] and spinning my cube and shit [04:48] it will die without fail [04:48] in about 30 - 1 h [04:49] spinning your cube can cause blindness... [04:49] :) [04:49] hahaa [04:49] lol card is tired. [04:49] dare i suggest just disabling compiz ? [04:49] :P [04:49] you could [04:49] well, see, the thing is, when i'm doing homework and stuff, i sometimes like to be able to wobble my windows, and distract myself [04:50] ah [04:50] lol [04:50] window wabbling can cause blindness... [04:50] dear god it fixed nothing [04:50] I'm reinstalling kubuntu [04:50] :) My wife made me turn off Wobbly windows for her. [04:50] haha [04:50] my gf thinks it's cool [04:50] and never taking advice from Dr_willis [04:50] and wishes windows could do it [04:50] Zombocom, or check your /etc/apt/sources.list and apt config file. [04:50] there are much worse things in thois world then reinstalling kubuntu [04:50] Zombocom, whatever ya want.. have fun. [04:50] lol [04:50] sudo touch /forcefsck see if U can now. [04:51] Xcell I did that [04:51] Guess i will stop researching the problem. [04:51] Are the menus and things still messed up? [04:51] sudo apt-get clean ? [04:52] man, i bought this video card just so i could use compiz-fusion too [04:52] how old [04:52] is there an app i can use to see the temp of an nvidia card in kubuntu? [04:52] look it up on adept_manager [04:52] agp geforce 6600 256 mb [04:52] something I cannot do anymore [04:53] awag htop [04:53] Xcell, k thanks [04:54] well Zombocom your screwed [04:54] thanks maduser [04:54] lol i smell re- install/ [04:54] exactly Xcell [04:54] lol [04:54] this time use 32 bit [04:55] hi all... I was wondering, if the standard kubuntu install is applyed to a core2duo... [04:55] hello [04:56] y can't I install Kde on my computer [04:56] ? [04:56] KDE 4? [04:56] I try to use synaptic [04:56] kdehelp, just use 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' [04:56] cant find kde in search [04:56] ill try [04:56] install 'kubuntu-desktop' not 'kde' [04:57] ya [04:57] oh, stupid me, nvidia-settings shows temp [04:57] oi [04:57] lol [04:57] Zombocom, you may want to check your /etc/apt.conf to see if it has any proxy settings, and your /etc/apt/sources.list [04:58] hmm, only 42 degrees [04:58] what mirror is fast ? [04:58] I quit useing graphic cards..on board video for me..less expense and headaches/ [04:58] lets see what happens when i reenable compiz [04:58] ubuntu.com seems pretty slow [04:59] Dr_willis I don't have many of the core applications that come with kubuntu anymore [04:59] I uninstalled a proxifying program that somehow treed up to core aplications [04:59] Zombocom, thats... odd... [04:59] and uninstalled them [04:59] yes it is [04:59] dony use ubuntu..use a another ubuntu uses 50k max only. [04:59] Konqueror [04:59] is gone [04:59] Zombocom, how did you uninstall them? [04:59] Kopete is gone [04:59] hahhah [04:59] I uninstalled something calles smproxy or something [04:59] 2 funny [04:59] smanon [04:59] os some thing like that [05:00] HOW did you uninstallit? with adept? or from the command line? [05:00] sm something [05:00] adept manager [05:00] nice, already up 3 degrees [05:00] then all of a sudden adept_manager dissapeared [05:00] so adept some how removed itself. :) [05:00] I look and adept manager is gone [05:00] Someone name a decent manufacturer of portable media players? (Besides Apple.) [05:00] adept is still there [05:00] try 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop' perhaps.. [05:00] zom...download 32 bit...works well on 64 bit comp...no worries. [05:00] if apt now works.. [05:00] Xcell it's the principle of it all [05:01] Dr_willis I still have the problem where adept doesn't acess the internet [05:01] I know but still....why punnish yourself. [05:01] Zombocom, well now the question.. do you want to try to fix it..or just reinstall the os... [05:01] i would sugest reinstall [05:01] reinstall sounds like it would take far less time [05:01] looks like it worked,,,thx [05:02] Im going to relg in and seell [05:02] good job kde bravo. [05:02] Xcell I on the other hand have failed [05:02] hmm, temp is still only 46 C after spinning the cube for a minute or so, that should be a fine temp for it to run at i think.. [05:03] nah z ur just fine [05:03] sudo apt-get remove./bill gates. [05:03] sudo apt-get remove ./steve jobs [05:03] lol [05:03] i wouldent think the 6600 video card would have much of a heat issue.. Unless you are in bad need of a cooling fan or 2. [05:04] z do the 32 bit and be (happy) done with it.........already. [05:05] i would also say - stick with the 32bit disrtos unless you know you have a need for 64bit stuff. [05:05] Dr_willis, yeah i can't believe heat would be the problem, i have quite a few fans, and the temps seem to be fine, and i opened the case and put a room fan next to it just in case [05:06] NO Xcell I DEMAND THE PAIN [05:06] lolo un necessary [05:06] awag [05:06] z pinch me..hurry........no waiting. [05:07] * Zombocom pinches Xcell [05:07] feels 32 bit ticklness. [05:07] awag, could of been some update to compiz that is causing issues/memory leaks leading to crashing.. with compiz its hard to tell. [05:08] good point...mem leak [05:08] and your cube spinning maybe making it leak faster - due to centripital force. :) [05:08] plug it with more room fans....lol. [05:09] maybe a mem test?..all I know. [05:10] z...stop talking so fast..k? [05:11] back .. conection went nut [05:11] had to reconfigure everything lol [05:11] bravo. [05:12] hmmm [05:12] this time it died a slow death [05:13] where i was able to actually move the mouse while it was dying [05:13] and i could back out to a terminal and run top [05:13] and compiz was taking like 70% cpu [05:14] it would on startup [05:14] but d htop..u can quit sessions at will.

[08:41] mh anyone know what is the X Window ? [08:45] n1ghtm4r3_, to run rosegarden a low latency kernel is needed [08:46] hatter: what is rosegarden (dont mind me , im a Kubnoobto) [08:46] n1ghtm4r3_, rosegarden is a midi sequencing program [08:47] hatter: Oooooh then maybe you should consider Ubuntu Studios [08:48] n1ghtm4r3_, yep, thats it, i just installed it , the kernel related is 1.6.22-14-rt [08:48] '2.6.22-14-rt' [08:48] time to reboot, hope it worked :) [08:53] hey all [08:54] so i have this interesting problem on reboot... alsamixer's master volume always goes way low, and i have to turn it up every time the computer is restarted. is there any way to have it save the master voluem? [09:06] arrrghhh: sudo alsactl store [09:17] vzduch: ok i'm going to reboot... [09:20] vzduch: that didn't work... [09:20] i didn't have this issue in xfce. [09:23] i want prevent a specific package from updating. i can do this in synaptic, but how does adept_updater know that it shouldnt update that package ? [09:27] i don't know if you can with adept... [09:27] i need sum help here... how can i upgrade to 7.10 [09:27] i got feisty rightnow [09:28] fire up a terminal [09:28] running [09:28] sudo update-manager -d [09:29] woah... it's offering me hardy already? i didn't realize i had THOSE repos on... sheesh [09:30] adept is a front end for aptitude, right ? [09:30] either that or apt-get... i don't remember [09:31] it's a gui for APT [09:31] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adept_Package_Manager [09:31] so it should be possible to keep a specific version? [09:31] via terminal .. [09:32] sure? i dunno. [09:32] arrrghhh: it says some packagerepos are deaktivated [09:32] is that a problem?? [09:33] no [09:33] you can reactivate after the dist-upgrade [09:34] from apt-get manpage: --no-upgrade: Do not upgrade packages; When used in conjunction with install, no-upgrade will prevent packages on the command line from being upgraded if they are already installed. so "sudo apt-get install --no-upgrade openarena-data" would do this job ? [09:35] i'd say so [09:35] try it [09:36] Canonical Ltd. no longer provides support for the following software packages. You can still get support from the community. [09:36] it says [09:37] arrrghhh: you mean, if the upgrade is done, i should just update my packages? [09:38] maybe some packages moved from main to universe or whatever [09:38] oh, well... [09:38] universe and multiverse are not officially supported [09:38] after the upgrade is done, i have to run "dist-upgrade" right? [09:38] as far as i know [09:38] uh i don't think that's necessary [09:38] update-manager -d is the same thing [09:38] oh, aight [09:38] never used the update-manager [09:38] sorry, i'm used to xfce [09:38] it downloads the upgrade now [09:39] i forgot the apt-get way... [09:39] yea the update-manager way is the easiest imo [09:39] 1343 packages [09:39] nice [09:40] yea if you had done "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" it would've done the same thing. oops. [09:40] lul [09:40] :) [09:40] gotta love linux, they give you 143 ways to skin a cat [09:40] :o? [09:41] dist-upgrade isnt the same as update-manager -d ?! [09:41] well dist-upgrade leaves me on gutsy.. [09:41] :O [09:42] hrm [09:42] well maybe not. [09:42] i dunno, but i'm positive update-manager -d gets the job done [09:42] i always update with dist-upgrade [09:42] is it not Kite_DH? [09:42] does its job [09:42] dist-upgrade will update everything, even if things have to be removed [09:42] 1 hour to go :( [09:43] safe-upgrade will not remove anything [09:43] at least you're not doing this on dialup [09:43] are you doing this on dialup? [09:43] but to get to another version 7.04-7.10 or higher, dist-upgrade wont do that [09:44] me? heck no [09:44] just sayin lol [09:44] heh [09:46] update-manager isnt installed on my system, is this gnome ? [09:46] i'm on kubuntu [09:46] kde [09:46] me too [09:46] hehe maybe i should reinstall kubuntu-desktop :P [09:46] the original install on this system was xubuntu, but i put kubuntu on it since. [09:47] update-manager: GNOME application that manages apt updates [09:47] it's possible it came w/xfce... [09:48] thats it [09:48] never had gnome on here [09:48] xubuntu has a lot gnome [09:48] well i don't know how Kite_DH got it [09:48] yea that's true [09:49] i moved from windoze to kubuntu edgy [09:49] long long time ago [09:49] lol [09:49] did you ever have gnome? [09:49] not installed, i checked ubuntu 7.04 out tho...via live-cd [09:49] hrm [09:49] gtk apps integrate good with kde imo :) but i dont like the file saving/opening dialogs :P [09:49] it was nice, but i love KDE [09:49] i dunno [09:49] yea i prefer kde from the 3 big ones [09:52] for a good look try: sudo aptitude install kde-style-qtcurve gtk2-engines-qtcurve === Agrajag` is now known as Agrajag [09:56] Hi there - does anybody know how to install a KDE theme *.kth onto a remote Kubuntu box to which I only have command line access? === ingo_ is now known as plodder [09:57] Hey there everybody.

[10:15] will a 250gb seagate sata drive work fine on kubuntu 7.10 as a secondary hard drive? [10:15] my primary hdd is currently a 80gb seagate sata drive [10:17] anyone there? [10:51] sigma: why shouldn't it? === richard__ is now known as intrepidlytrite [10:56] hey, I've got a webcam question...anyone here? [11:05] intrepidlytrite: in what way ?

[11:11] intrepidlytrite: nope [11:13] linux_galore ok, thanks [11:13] webcam howto https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam [11:13] yes, had a look there too === Deviance is now known as TimS [11:14] intrepidlytrite: some times I find loging out and back in (not a reboot) can make usb devices work better [11:17] linux_galore yes, well, I've tried that....do you think it could be a graphics driver issue? === MeTa[AwAy] is now known as Metam [11:20] how do i use firewall builder? everything is greyed out [11:21] pls where can i find libdvdcss2 needed to play dvds [11:21] kiiz: its in the medibuntu repository [11:24] is it in the main,restricted ,multiverse or universe directory [11:24] sigma: is it in the main,restricted ,multiverse or universe directory [11:27] sigma: thanks i found it === edgard is now known as skwalf [11:45] how can i play mp3 in kubuntu.transcoding my collection to .ogg is an overkill [11:46] kiiz, install libxine1-ffmpeg [11:46] hello === Pupeno_ is now known as Pupeno [11:46] about-to-be-new-user-of-Kubuntu here :) [11:46] What's more, not all portable MP3 playeers support oggs [11:47] I'm just preparing my PC for it. But in the meantime, I want to get a bit informed. :) [11:47] Migs-se, sure. Just ask your question(s) :-) [11:47] I've heard that the Linux Media Center is based on Kununtu. If I install Kubuntu 7.04, am I able to download the media ceter specific componets? [11:47] *center [11:48] *Kubuntu [11:48] man, my typo's are nasty [11:49] Basically, I just want a non-resource hungry OS to run a media center on to play videos on the hard drive/cd-dvd or stream off the network from a Windows-Based PC. [11:49] Migs-se, I'm not sure, but it might be possible, if it's in the repositories [11:50] I see [11:50] a friend mentioned it uses MythTV for the Media Center aspect [11:51] well, I'll find out when I start installing it in about 5 minutes [11:51] busy making an image of the hard drive before I start. [11:52] Migs-se, at least MythTV is in the repo's... so even if you will not be able to install Media Centre in other way, it still should be manually configurable somehow.. [11:52] Actually, I'm glad there are people around here today. :) [11:52] I see [11:53] do you know how large is the download for MythTV? [11:54] Migs-se, on my system it says "After unpacking 155MB of additional disk space will be used." but the result may vary a bit in both direcions [11:54] pag: did't find it in medibuntu repo [11:55] kiiz, it's in multiverse [11:55] !info libxine1-ffmpeg [11:55] Hmm [11:55] libxine1-ffmpeg: mpeg related plugins for libxine1. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.1.7-1ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 435 kB, installed size 908 kB [11:55] guess I'll only find out when I start Kubuntu then [11:55] thanks anyway pag [11:56] busy starting up Kubuntu now [11:56] Hmmm [11:56] Migs-se, good luck :) [11:56] looks like Kubuntu Install is not TV Friendly [11:56] getting bad picture of blues and purples [11:57] guess I have to hook up a monitor [11:59] by the way [11:59] is Kubuntu Ati friendly now? [12:00] I remember with the older linux distros I used, I could't use an ati card [12:00] Migs-se, sure it is - Ati just isn't Linux friedly yet ;P [12:00] Hmmm [12:00] then I may have a problem with TV Out then [12:00] how about Nvidia? I have a 5200 that is't being used [12:01] Migs-se, nvidia works great as far as I know :) (I don't have experience with TV-out though..) [12:01] Ah, we have a visual [12:01] looks like Kubuntu needs a monitor for installation, heh [12:02] I'll try the Nvidia if the Ati fails [12:05] righty, this is where I need some real help, heh [12:05] I'm at the partition disk space now [12:05] I'm thinking of using it all, but can it still be read on a Windows-Based PC? [12:06] Migs-se: yes [12:07] so use the guided-use entire space option or guided-use the largest continuous free space? [12:07] don't want to make separate partitions, so I rather use all of the free space. [12:07] it will be just 1 oS. [12:09] pag: under what dir is it in.it is not in the x,libx dir [12:09] kiiz: it's a package you install with adept [12:10] kiiz, dir? just open konsole, and type "sudo apt-get install libxine1-ffmpeg " [12:10] kiiz, ..or use Adept, if you prefer graphical way [12:10] i dont have an internet connection! [12:11] really? [12:11] how are you able to communicate here then? [12:12] kiiz, http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/libs/libxine1-ffmpeg <- you can download all the needed packages from here.. [12:12] i am in an internet cafe'. far far from home [12:13] and Kubuntu is now formatting my drives [12:13] *prays for good luck* [12:13] stop praying [12:13] this never helped for me :P [12:15] LOL! [12:15] Is there any playstation emulators for kubuntu? [12:16] just curious, but where are you based pag? [12:16] Eicca, jes there is [12:16] Eicca: Ah! thanks for reminding me [12:16] in repos: pcsx [12:16] Migs-se, you mean, which country am I from? I currently live in Finland.. [12:16] yep, was refering to country. [12:17] I Hail from South Africa though [12:17] ^^ [12:17] <---Germany :P [12:17] you poor bastards, heh [12:17] I despise the cold [12:17] well [12:17] isnt cold at all [12:18] 15 Degrees Celsius ;) [12:18] thats cold, heh [12:19] snow is over-rated [12:19] i never mind [12:19] no^^ [12:19] currently 21 degrees celcious over here [12:19] exactly noone rates this very high at all [12:20] * oliver3 stares at Dolphin in Kubuntu [12:21] pag: do i also have to download links with red bottons [12:21] I thought Dolphin wasn't going to be the file manager until KDE4? [12:21] !dolphin | oliver3 [12:21] oliver3: Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. [12:21] <_< [12:22] But why? xD [12:22] kiiz, I'm not sure if default installation has them already... but it might be a good idea to download them just to be sure [12:22] oliver3: users wished [12:22] Fair enough. [12:22] I've just noticed, in Dolphin, on the right there is a little menu. [12:22] It's there twice. [12:22] O.o === ^kaminix^ is now known as kaminix [12:24] I think I'll stick with Ubuntu as my main OS for now. [12:24] Can't be doing will silly bugs like that. >_> [12:24] * oliver3 sticks his nose up pompously. [12:24] :P === desti_T2 is now known as desti === Hirvinen_ is now known as Hirvinen [12:33] oliver3: dolphin is not finished and I was surprised they set it as the default, I just swap it back to konqueror [12:35] if you really want to have fun try getting a network scanner working in kubuntu, I gave up and wrote my own program [12:36] xD [12:37] Oh my :x [12:39] Okay, another question :) [12:39] what is the difference between Ati Radeon(fbdev) - Ati Radeon(fglrx) and Ati Radeon(vesa)? [12:39] I'm using a Ati Radeon 9250 AGP [12:40] there is one that simply says Ati Radeon though [12:40] okay, currently right now im using the Gnome desktop, Is it possible that I could have Gnome and Kubuntu because im curious in trying out the KDE Desktop. But I do NOT want to messup my Gnome desktop and its files. Is it possible? If so what is the best way I getting it installing and running? [12:41] Migs-se, fbdec is an open ati driver iirc, vesa is generic driver and fglrx is closed-source ati driver. [12:42] Migs-se, fglrx is the official driver, but I think it's proprietary. vesa is a generic driver and fbdev I'm not sure about. [12:42] ricanelite, install kubuntu-desktop [12:42] ricanelite, install kubuntu-desktop and use it with another user - it shouldn't affect your user settings at all that way (iirc it won't affect them even if you run with the same user, but if you want to be 120% sure..:) [12:42] hmmm, so which driver do you guys recommend I use? [12:43] or try each one until I get tv-out? heh [12:43] Migs-se, if fglrx wasn't proprietary I would recommend that. [12:43] But seeing as it is, I can't do that. [12:43] i type it on the terminal? and can I use Compiz-Fusion as well with Kubuntu? [12:43] Migs-se, start with open one, and the proceed to proprietary... vesa isn't the best option for sure.. [12:43] okay, thanks [12:44] ricanelite, you can use synaptic to install packages if you want [12:44] what do I search for kubuntu-deskto [12:44] kubuntu-desktop [12:45] ricanelite, yup. [12:45] what is the latest version? 1.59? [12:45] i have gusty [12:46] ricanelite, nevermind those version-numbers. [12:46] What are the main advantages of Gutsy over Feisty...? [12:46] so thats it? [12:47] tuxwulf, gusty is newer and has 3D stuff out of the box. It also has a fast user switching feature and numerous other things. [12:48] oliver3: ...oooowwkay... thanks! [12:48] oh sorry tuxwulf I was talking about Ubuntu. [12:48] Forgot which channel I'm in for a moment... [12:48] czesc [12:52] Okay, this looks bad [12:52] mabey I broke Kubuntu already? heh [12:52] I restarted the machine with the new video settings and Kubuntu is not loading [12:53] how do I submit a bug report for the kde panel ? Whats the name of this program ? [12:53] Migs-se, Kubuntu, or a graphical mode? [12:53] I getthe Kubuntu logo at startup, but then it disappears. now I nothing [12:53] matttis, 'kicker' [12:53] *Now i have nothing [12:53] if one has a machine with Core Duo processor(s), could he use the AMD64 images to install Kubuntu? [12:53] Migs-se, ctrl+alt+F1 should get you to the command line [12:54] at command line now [12:54] lascar, yes, he could, but I still think, taht 32bit would be easier.. [12:54] what do I do now? [12:54] pag: how so? [12:54] Migs-se, " sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg " will get you the configuration dialog, in which you can choose a different driver [12:54] Migs-se, type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xoth [12:54] migs-se: does it drop you at a prompt? [12:54] Migs-se, type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg * [12:55] Migs-se, without the * [12:55] hi to all [12:55] Hi to niko__ [12:55] where is the konversation config file? [12:55] :) [12:55] at the moment, it's trying to login [12:55] I had a similar problem and fixed it with sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new [12:55] i wanna to backup it [12:55] lascar, well.. ie. Flash is (or at least was) far easier to install in 32bit system.. same goes for Skype. [12:55] niko__, ~./kde/share/config/konversationrc iirc :) [12:55] when I type the password, I don't see what is being typed until I press enter. then I can see what is being typed [12:55] (i'm a heavy Skype user...) [12:55] the automatic nvidia drivers dont like me [12:55] but it kickes me out saying its incorrect [12:56] thnx [12:56] pag: but difficult is not synonymous with impossible. Surely there are ways around it? [12:56] hi! at boot time when screen goes blank for 1-2 minutes and display only comes back just before KDM shows up. Someone please tell me the solution for this [12:56] thats pretty normal migs, its to stop people guessing how many characters are in your password [12:56] hi! at boot time the* screen goes blank for 1-2 minutes and display only comes back just before KDM shows up. Someone please tell me the solution for this [12:56] you can still type [12:56] Migs-se, just type your user password - passwd not supposed to be seen [12:56] Migs-se, that's normal, except kicking you out. [12:56] I got it now [12:56] :) [12:56] it does't show you the password as you type it [12:56] weirdness [12:56] anyway [12:57] it makes sense if you think about it :-) [12:57] lascar, yes.. you *could* install 32bit libs on your 64bit system, the do a littel command-line magic and so on.. it *can* be done, but it can get messy [12:57] going to try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg now [12:57] i hate compiz [12:57] would someone please help me in my problem? [12:57] lascar, there are instructions on the forums for that [12:57] pag: i'll keep that in mind. Know any good wardriving apps? [12:57] lascar- yeah, there are ways to get everything working on a 64-bit install, but unless you have more than 4 GB of memory, you probably won't notice any performance increase with a 64-bit install anyway [12:58] ah. [12:58] so [12:58] At boot time the* screen goes blank for 1-2 minutes and display only comes back just before KDM shows up. Someone please tell me the solution for this [12:58] if i do an new installation on an other pc... [12:58] madprobe, but KDM shows up just fine and everything works after? [12:58] this config make two konverstion same configured? [12:59] (i'm italian, forgive my english) [12:59] pag: oh, i was beginning to think that may be there is some prob in my pidgin and noone can see my msg. coz chatting in pidgin first time [12:59] righty [12:59] it asked me to give a name for the video card, which I did [12:59] niko__, it should, yes [12:59] okiz [12:59] i try [13:00] and now, its talking about people that have multiple video cards, which I don't have [13:00] thnx a lot and enjoy yuor time! [13:00] there is a OK section, but pressing enter does nothing [13:00] what now? [13:00] pag: yes, display comes back just b4 KDM was going to come, first thing to see after booting from grub is the mouse cursor as a circle, display goes blank in between for 1-2 mins [13:00] Migs-se, use space instead of enter [13:01] space does nothing either [13:01] KDE-Bugreporting: Are the backtrace data of interest for the bug report ? [13:01] Migs-se, which step exactly? [13:01] sorry if I seem like an idiot, but this is totally new to me [13:02] third step I think? [13:02] first was select chipset of video card, second was name the video card (type it in) and now I'm in the third step [13:02] where it mentions about people that use multiple video cards to type in the busID address [13:02] madprobe, if I understood you right, you could just disable splash from boot-options [13:03] after grub menu, the next thing i see is KDM screen, screen goes complete blank in between for a long time of abt 1-2 mins. i dont know the reason for such a long time too as screen is blank during that time [13:03] guess I have to re-install Kubuntu, heh [13:04] pag: i've disabled the quite option from menu.lst, but havnt removed splash [13:04] removing quite didnt helped [13:05] !war driving [13:05] Sorry, I don't know anything about war driving - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:05] Migs-se: just leave that field blank [13:05] pag: i will reboot after removing splash option. then i will be back again. thanks for the ray of hope [13:05] Migs-se, hmm.. strange - I can't recall having such step myself [13:05] there is no place to type it in though nosrednaekim [13:05] Migs-se: thats ok... just skip that step. [13:05] only option is the OK [13:05] press ok [13:05] but pressing enter or space does nothing [13:06] press tab once [13:06] and then hit space [13:06] that did the trick, heh [13:06] now it's asking for the Video Cards Bus identifier. which is already filled in. [13:06] which is PCI:1:0:0 [13:07] press enter to continue? [13:07] yeah [13:07] righty [13:07] anything you don't have a clue about, just continue [13:08] now it's asking for the amount of memory to be used by the video card in kilobytes [13:08] type ina figure or leave it blank? [13:08] leave it blank [13:09] Use Kernal Framebuffer Device Interface? options are Yes or No. [13:09] yes [13:09] thanks for taking me step-by-step in this by the way [13:10] yeah, this is one baffling dialog... I think thre is a way to cut out the uneccesary steps..but Iforget how. [13:12] okay, went through the entire dialoge now [13:12] nosrednaekim, you mean -phigh option? [13:12] and it's back to the dos prompt [13:12] restart the PC> [13:12] restart the PC? [13:12] pag: ah.... yes [13:12] pag: removing splash option did its job [13:12] pag: thanks dude [13:12] madprobe, np :) [13:12] Migs-se: ok, no, run "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart" [13:13] Migs-se, command ' startx ' hsould do the job [13:13] pag: starting up kdm is reccomended because it provides for a clean log out and shut-down [13:13] and I'm back to graphical Kubuntu [13:13] without more command-line sorcery :D [13:14] i'm unable to do everything from my keyboard, coz tab doesnt stops on list controls. i've to always use my mouse to select option from some list control. is there some problem in my theme or window style? i am using default theme and window style. === eduardiyo is now known as Eduardiyo [13:14] madprobe, you could also remove splash from def-options - that way grub won't add it to every new kernel. [13:14] nosrednaekim, oh, ok :-) [13:15] thanx again [13:15] how do I shutdown Kubuntu? I see no option to do so. Just log off, which takes you back to the command prompt. [13:15] pag: where are the def-options defined? [13:15] madprobe: poweroff ? [13:15] Migs-se: "sudo shutdown -r now" [13:15] that will probably reboot [13:15] madprobe, in /boot/grub/menu.lst [13:16] Migs-se: did X work? [13:16] it restarted [13:16] but I switched off the machine when it restarted [13:17] madprobe, kdesu kate /boot/grub/menu.lst and there look for the line that says osmething like "# defoptions=quiet splash" [13:17] wanted to plug in my TV to see if it works [13:17] and it does't. nasty [13:17] Migs-se: ok. [13:17] Migs-se: oh.. it'll probably works with some work :D [13:18] !dualhead [13:18] Information about dual-head on linux can be found on http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead - See also !Xinerama [13:18] back to the monitor then [13:18] and try a different driver [13:18] !ipod [13:18] For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod [13:18] I plan to only use a TV by the way. not have dual head [13:20] Migs-se: ah....well, what are you using? s-video? [13:21] wow [13:21] Kubuntu is broken. again [13:21] getting no visual on the monitor after Kubuntu loading screen is gone [13:21] monitor reports no input from the PC [13:21] re-install Kubuntu? heh [13:21] nosrednaekim: RCA [13:22] so, for now, I'll re-install Kubuntu [13:22] mabey I'll have better luck with a Nvidia card? [13:22] Migs-se: nah... don't reinstall, go to "ctrl+alt+f1" [13:22] Migs-se: what graphics card are you using? [13:22] bacl to the command prompt [13:23] using a Ati Radeon 9250 [13:23] the 128mb AGP model [13:23] the Nvidia I have is a Geforce 5200 128mb AGP [13:23] Migs-se: tv-out will only work on that card with the officail ATI driver. and lol, not sure that the official driver even supports that card any more. [13:23] Migs-se: I definately go with the nvidia. [13:24] Okay, will try Nvidia then [13:24] Migs-se: I have exactly that ati! [13:24] works perfectly [13:24] stupid netsplits... sigh [13:24] so, what do I do now at the dos prompt? [13:24] shut it down and pop on the nvidia or continue using the ati? [13:25] jussi01, I'm trying to get TV-Out in Kubuntu with the card [13:25] did you get yours working in tv-out? [13:25] Migs-se: ahh... that nasty one. I have never got it to work [13:25] I see [13:25] I've an error while I tried to launch nvidia.run : NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.19-pkg1.run: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string [13:25] then I'll pop in the Nvidia then [13:25] what does it means ? [13:25] Migs-se: I would reccomend that [13:26] do I need to reinstall Kubuntu when I put in the Nvidia card? [13:26] Migs-se: run that command again " sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg" select the vesa driver when you get to that page. [13:26] jordinateur: something wrong with that shel script [13:26] !nvidia | jordinateur [13:26] jordinateur: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [13:26] Migs-se: nope. [13:26] Hello, como andan [13:27] Migs-se: run that command I just said, which should put the computer into generic graphics mode. then swap in the nvidia [13:27] ubotu: I can't access the internet with ubuntu, i just can connect and open "konversation" [13:27] or you could swap in the nvidia first [13:28] doing that now nosrednaekim, changing to vesa mode. [13:28] k [13:28] nosrednaekim: What's wrong ? What can i do ? [13:28] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg just sends me a list of proper command usage [13:29] pag: where are the def-options [13:29] jordinateur, so konversation works, but other apps do not? [13:29] Migs-se: ah... well then just run the whole dialog with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" [13:30] madprobe, in /boot/grub/menu.lst on line that says something like "# defoptions=quiet splash" [13:30] pag: Hum I think it's a problem of config with konqueror ;p But I don't know what and for the moment, the problem is why i've an error with nvidia.run... [13:31] jordinateur: use the restriced-manager to unstall your drivers. [13:31] jordinateur, no idea about nvidia.run... I have an idea about what's wrong with your net, though. [13:31] pag: What is your idea ? [13:31] *install [13:31] nosrednaekim: Okay i'll try ;p [13:32] pag: right now it is #defoptions=quite splash. what will it be after i would remove the quite and splash options? defoptions=""? [13:32] jordinateur, if you don't happen to use knetworkmanager, the alt+f2 -> " killall knetworkmanager " and all should be fine [13:32] pag: or should i remove the whole defoptions line [13:32] ?

I've set up a printer using System Settings -> Printer -> etc. It works fine from there, printing the test page and everything. However, when I try to print from kpdf, it does not appear in the drop-down list of the print dialog. Any ideas? [15:46] alrighty [15:46] now to switch it off and try it with the TV Now [15:47] Hmm [15:48] switched on and no display on the TV yet [15:48] but I hear Kubuntu is loading. presumably [15:48] judging by the churning of the hard drive [15:49] man, this blows [15:49] still no display at all [15:50] plugged in the monitor and it has display [15:50] so, how do I turn on the TV-Out? [15:51] Mi'have a look in the display bit in system settings [15:52] how do I put the settings into effect? the apply button is greyed out [15:52] i'm in administrator mode by the way [15:53] hmmm... Im not sure [15:55] prxq, there is no print option in "file" of the page in kpdf ? [15:55] that does't sound good. [15:55] Migs-se: log-out and restart X [15:56] click restart button you mean? [15:57] no [15:57] log-out then restart X server from user login [15:58] I'm sorry, but how do I do that? [15:58] do it in the Konsole? [15:58] Migs-se: you understand "log out" ? [15:58] as in click the button that says log out? === admini is now known as Mikko [15:59] eicca u here?

[16:00] MidMark do you mean 'restart x server? [16:00] yup [16:00] it's done [16:00] and back to the login screen [16:00] Migs-se: yes that it, new config are read now [16:00] log in as normal? [16:01] even weirder though [16:01] tv still not activated [16:01] !tv-out [16:01] For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*) [16:01] BluesKaj: no.

[16:10] kate did'nt open [16:10] I got that error message [16:10] instead [16:10] well, nothing opened up [16:10] it should, the error doesn't affect kate for opens, and stop hit enter to say one phrase, this someone already said to you [16:10] sorry [16:11] It was an after thought. <-- is this safe though? [16:11] eicca [16:11] okay, so should I open kate and manually find the xorg.conf file?

[16:59] Migs-se: so you said--would you like help fixing it? [17:00] jpatrick: Yes, but had to make changes to the conf file just to enable the tv-out and it seems I made an error somewhere. [17:00] Migs-se, nope.. nothing to do with xbox at all. [17:00] sorry, I mean the xorg.conf [17:00] Migs-se, a mini live cd/installable disrto taht is just a media player. :) [17:00] that is sweet [17:00] Migs-se, i got it installed on my laptop - i can fast boot to the media player now. [17:00] it also handles UPNP [17:01] nice [17:01] can it handle tvout? [17:01] and has a customizer program so you can make your own live cd's [17:01] Migs-se, supposed to be able to. never tried tv out on it. [17:01] bazhang, that would be great [17:01] handles various remotes also. [17:01] but I have a feeling I won't accomplish what I'm trying to do. [17:02] seriously, this is pretty knee deep stuff for a beginner [17:02] Its a 50mb Install to HD. :) so my laptop has 2 Linux's on it.. Geexbox and Ubuntu. [17:02] wha? that small? wow [17:02] Migs-se, no idea what you are trying to do. so cant helop ya much. :) [17:02] will do a search for it now and see if I can download it [17:02] GeeXbox live cd - boots/copies itself to ram, then ejexcts the cd. so it can play dvd's also [17:02] I just want a linux based media center to play videos on the TV. thats it. [17:02] Migs-se: you need to describe your problem in detail for the folks here to help [17:02] GeeXbox can do that. [17:03] MythTV can do that. [17:03] mythbuntu [17:03] if they are cd images, then I'm screwed [17:03] Theres proberly other Tivo-takeoffs also. [17:03] don't have the bandwidth to download such large files. [17:03] mythdora [17:03] geexbox = 50mb or so download. [17:03] looks like you dont have much options then. [17:04] Or install Kubuntu/Ubuntu/ then Mythtv on Ubuntu [17:04] thats what I am trying to do [17:04] which is better to use normal wine or crossover office? [17:04] geexbox sounds way easier than mythtv [17:04] but don't I have to enable TV-Out first before installing MythTV? [17:04] Geexbox is easier for just video playback. [17:05] Migs-se, not really. Whats your video card? TV out is easy to enable on nvidia. [17:05] geexbox is awesomeness in a can [17:05] and only uses 15mb [17:05] Migs-se: what size tv? lcd plasma other [17:05] tops [17:06] It's a SDTV. 51' Toshiba [17:06] what calendaring tool would you guys recommend? [17:06] * bazhang goes to download geexbox [17:06] Geexbox iso is just 8.9 MB? wow [17:06] yeah [17:06] extra cool [17:06] I saw a LCD TV today that had networking/wireless networking. and could some how play videosfiles from the pcs on the network. :) THATS got possibiltys [17:06] my install's 15mb because i included a metric ton of codecs [17:06] Migs-se: what resolution? [17:06] Migs-se, you may want to use the geexbox customizer - if you are going to network the machine.

Got the BWBOD. :) [17:07] ops sorry [17:07] scottman_: no worries [17:07] I'm using it with Kubuntu [17:07] Daisuke-Ido, thats the one im using on my latest cd. :) [17:07] how i can control the volume with gxine without change PCM alsa volume? [17:07] what do you recommend for kde for music? [17:08] Dr_willis: love it [17:08] I do wish the darn web site/docs had better referance for the keyboard controlls also. [17:08] Migs-se: lots of options in linux; don't give up just yet :} [17:08] scottman_: amarok, no question [17:08] so Dr_willis, I will onlu need the geexbox iso and the customiser only? [17:08] Migs-se, you JUST need the customizer. [17:08] oh. [17:08] ok [17:08] Migs-se: Which card? [17:08] scottman_: amarok [17:08] run it - select the various options. It can download codecs and stuff.. then makes the cd. [17:08] I'd like to use amarok for podcasts. [17:08] Migs-se: you putting together a dedicated tv box? [17:08] I'm hoping that it won't use file names with question marks for the files. [17:09] last i used the custmizer however.. the Linux binary didetn work. I had to use 'wine customizer.exe' :) [17:09] scottman_: it does that no problem [17:09] Dr_willis: don't forget to edit the etc/nfs file if you want to use nfs shares [17:09] I had it working with a Ati Radeon 9250 in windows. But you guys mentioned I have better luck using a Nvidia card, so now I've put a Nvidia Geforce FX5200 [17:09] Migs-se: You might add a comment to the howto page that it didn't work for your card. [17:09] anyone? I need a calendar tool with todo lists, events, etc. What would you guys recommend? [17:09] when i try to transfer the files to my removable flash drive, there are errors and I have to rename it.

[17:09] Daisuke-Laptop, except it dident work.. Not sure what the deal was.. [17:10] Migs-se: streaming from another machine? [17:10] fat32 I think [17:10] jhutchins: I don't think that is the problem [17:10] hmmm. [17:10] I may have made a mistake somewhere [17:10] so not certain [17:10] With a Nvidia card. IF you boot up - with JUST a tv attatched. ive seen them default to the tv out - with No tweaking needed. :) [17:10] I will try out amarok again. [17:10] przepraszam sa tu polacy xDD [17:10] now the big question: does the tv you're connecting this to have a vga input? [17:10] but that may depend on the nvidia card. [17:10] Daisuke-Ido: Sometimes it may playback files from a Windows Based PC on the network. [17:10] Kontact alakhia [17:10] Daisuke-Ido: No VGA input on my TV [17:11] that sucks :\ [17:11] i found that was the easiest way to set mine up [17:11] It's a SDTV, to be expected [17:11] bazhang ... oh, yes, I have it installed [17:11] not LCD and up [17:11] right === xxx is now known as Saurus [17:11] bazhang ... thanks ... let me read about it ... i hope it can sync with goggle calendar [17:11] alakhia: good news [17:11] mmmkay [17:11] okay, I downloaded GeeXboX 1.1 for i386 (PC). Is this correct Dr_willis? [17:12] Migs-se, there was only 2 downloads a .iso and a .tgz i think L:) get the tgz [17:12] thanks [17:12] for nvidia, geexbox handles tv-out perfectly [17:12] I see there are GeeXboX ISO Generator - GeeXboX Sources and GeeXboX Debian Repository for download [17:12] I got the Iso, not the tgz [17:12] Migs-se: you want the ISO generator [17:12] hm...i installed xfont-terminus package, but i don't see this fonts from Konsole font's propertie [17:12] Hmmm, if i am trying to install some debs that are dependant on each other, how do I make them install all the way - as when I dpkg -i them it gives me dependancy probs, saying the other ones are not configured yet [17:13] what exactly is iCal ? [17:13] all the downloads on there are in iso format only anyway [17:13] Migs-se: you want the ISO generator <-- do you mean I have to download it or is it a question?

[17:15] jhutchins: no, it isnt. its just that the packages depend on one another === yannis is now known as yannis_ [17:20] Hmm [17:20] looks like geexbox supports the Ati Radeon line of cards [17:20] dependecy hell [17:20] err dependency hell [17:21] the trick is to find which is the key dependency , then the others will install...usually [17:22] BluesKaj: yeah, thanks. :D [17:23] man Dr_willis, I hope this works [17:23] if it does, I love ya man! wish you arrived much earlier!

[23:30] matttis: sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart [23:30] Don_jr333: you have to use an input method app like skim [23:30] i *think* [23:30] brad__ I have skim, how do I use it? [23:30] hello [23:30] I click the little icon down there nad it does nothing [23:30] posingaspopular: no, i would have to change some settings [23:31] I've got an interesting problem [23:31] just one question: I'm looking at KDE System Guard, and it says "104 processes"...am I really running 104 processes, or is that the total processes available on the computer? [23:31] i used this to set up japanse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Japanese_Input_and_Fonts_in_Ubuntu_7.04 [23:31] should be similar for korean [23:31] thanks [23:32] this looks good also: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SCIM/Kubuntu [23:32] great, I appriciate it. I've been digging and couldnt' find it [23:33] once I installed compiz, where do I activate the desktop effects? [23:33] !compiz [23:33] 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 [23:33] hi, how can i add windows on a striped raid drive to my grub menu? windows is on sda1 and sda2 [23:33] thanks [23:33] You have to run compiz --replace and perhaps emerald --replacve i belive [23:35] hie all [23:36] is there any body there ?? [23:36] Let's say I wanted to have torrents running on my account, but other users need to use the computer. How do I let them login to their accounts without logging off myself? [23:36] i dont see any wi-fi networks in the manager even though my wi fi is on??? [23:36] should be able to go to k menu and hit switch user [23:36] yep, use switch user !! [23:37] "lock current and start new session" or "start new session"? [23:37] the former [23:37] thank you [23:37] think the first one, ask ur password to reconnect and the second not !?! [23:39] do u know if it's normal that adept don't ask any root pass in new 7.10 Gutsy ??? [23:41] holas a todos [23:42] alguien habla español? [23:42] !es [23:42] Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [23:43] gracias [23:49] if I wanted to have a folder accessible by all users on the machine, where should I put it? [23:50] anywhere you just need to change the permissions [23:50] /usr/share would work [23:50] I know, but are there guidelines? Is it a bad idea to create a new root folder? [23:50] allright, that'll work [23:50] thanks [23:53] do u know if it's normal that adept don't ask any root pass in new 7.10 Gutsy ??? [23:53] anybody else getting segfaults on certain commands?? [23:54] altg, there is no root password configured [23:54] altg, you can use sudo to set a root passwd [23:55] for my desktop i did an upgrade to gutsy and it's ok for the pass !!! [23:55] altg- it should, though I've noticed that kdesudo saves your password briefly, just like sudo [23:55] but for my laptop i just do a new install of gtsy [23:56] So if you opened something else that requires sudo a few minutes earlier, it may have had your access saved [23:56] !compiz [23:56] 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 [23:57] and during install, nowhere there is root pass asked [23:57] no, i didn'n open any else that require sudo before [23:58] just fist time use kwallet to record my wifi wep key [23:58] OK OK I have finished reinstalling ubuntu 7.10 again and now I'm updadting the software that was initially detected by thesystem...
