[00:04] BluesKaj are there any other clients for burning i can use ? [00:04] k9copy [00:05] or kiso [00:05] burning what? [00:05] thank you :) [00:05] dvd isos [00:06] gnomebaker! [00:06] kub^, you'll prolly have to DL those apps [00:06] >_> [00:06] if you have an ISO you can burn it w/ any burning program [00:06] if k3b won't burn it, the others won't either [00:06] his k3b is not doing the job [00:06] they all use the same backend, i think [00:07] my k3b freezes the pc requiring a hard reset even when i only look at the further actions menu with a blank dvd in [00:07] if there is no limitation built into growisofs preventing you from burning DL DVDs, it shouldn't be a problem [00:08] growisofs is the actual app that most use [00:09] when k3b works thats what it uses yeah, maybe i should just use growisofs from the command line === bsander is now known as bsander|gone [00:10] does that same DVD recorder work in other OSes (e.g. Windoze)? [00:10] probably a hardware problem if it freezes on popping in a blank DVD [00:11] it seems to work 1 out of say 4 goes, kinda hoping it isnt hardware >.< i'll try another client first :) [00:12] it might already help to just open the case and make sure that all cables are properly connected [00:13] yeah good idea [00:14] kub^, does nero or whatever client you use work in windows ? [00:14] yeah with no problems [00:15] hmmm, might be an issue with automounting then [00:16] automounting? his fstab? [00:17] or dbus/hal [00:17] yeah I guess growisofs wont be able to burn a mounted DVD. [00:17] he said that it freezes when he just sticks the dvd in [00:17] kub^: make sure noauto is in your fstab for you burning rom [00:17] ok sec [00:18] is that /etc/fstab coz i dont see a line noauto [00:18] ? [00:18] yeah [00:18] * BluesKaj studies growisofs man pages ...seems simple enuff ...the examples are clear [00:19] still, theres a pitfall if his fstab is auto mounting the dvd's [00:19] won't be able to burn [00:19] when i pop a dvd in a window pops up asking me if i want to open it in k3b [00:20] just cancel that out [00:20] kub^: show me the line in fstab for your dvdrom [00:21] assuming you want to use growisofs [00:21] right [00:21] apologies i missed it it does have no auto "/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0" [00:21] noauto is in there [00:21] then thats not the problem [00:22] !beryl [00:22] Beryl has been merged with Compiz to form Compiz-Fusion.

I installed Nero Linux, and everything went fine. However, when it scans for supported devices, it reports that it can't get access to /dev/sg0... how do I permanently allow access? Many thanks! [01:59] K`zan: 15% isn't that much, is it? [01:59] out of 200% (both CPUs) no, not really, just never noticed it before. [01:59] user_: well, "sudo chmod a+w /dev/sg0" should do it. [01:59] Nice thing about linux, you are always learning something new :-). [02:00] nosredaekim: i shall try. on the forums, people were saying edit this file, comment this or that, but i thought there would be a simpler answer :) [02:00] K`zan: thats the kernel interrupt I think.... [02:00] K`lan: often while dogpaddling frantically around a whirlpool... [02:00] LOL, that is TOO TRUE LOL! [02:01] Just converted back to kubuntu after a foray into fedora (ewwww!). [02:01] K`zan: what was it like? I last tried it when it was Red Hat, MANY years ago. [02:01] This version (7.10) seems to like my USB devices :). [02:01] Fedora is ****NOT*** our red hat of yesteryear :). [02:01] nosrednaekim: do i have to reboot for that change to take effect? i restarted nero, and got the same message :/ [02:02] etfb: I upgraded it and broke a lot of things, I suppose I should have known better... Managed to kluge fixes to get it going but I just am NOT a fan of RPMs. [02:02] Deb is the best :). [02:02] Deb / deb derived is the best :). [02:02] K`zan: that's my experience too. [02:03] user_: nope,no need to restart [02:03] Now if I can remember what my CUPS net work printer URL is, I'll be set :). [02:04] Do that so seldom that I forget it and have never figured out where CUPS keeps that info. [02:04] cd cups [02:05] nosrednaekim: hmmm... that didn't work then. how do i load the sg module? [02:05] user_: the what? [02:05] user_: try running nero as root [02:06] k hang on [02:07] nosrednaekim: Ok _that_ works.... now i'm confused! [02:07] would chown dwflo:dwflo /dev/sg0 work? [02:08] user_: i'm not sure, but there is really no harm in running it as root, in fact its slightly better === ubuntu__ is now known as bmk789 [02:08] nosrednaekim: is there a way to do it automatically, or will i have to open a terminal and "sudo nero"? (not that it's a lot of work, but...) [02:09] what does a grub read error mean? it just started after i switched my motherboard [02:09] user_: you could create a shortcut to run "kdesu nero" [02:09] bmk789: how do i do that? [02:10] user_: right click your desktop and create new link to application [02:10] ok [02:10] i've done _that_ before [02:10] bmk789: make sure hd is plugged into identical channel eg: primary or secondary if IDE also that head/sectors/cylinder mapping is same [02:11] genii: everythings plugged in the same [02:11] user_: make an icon whose command is "kdesudo nero" [02:11] ok [02:11] can someone please help me step by step on how to share a folder so that my windows pc can see it? i can see the shared folder from windows but its inaccessible. in the add/edit share window in kubuntu, all unspecified users is set to allow, and the only specified user is root, which has admin access rights. but i cannot access the folder from windows, though i do see it [02:12] bmk789: Then likely bios maps the drive differently than the previous one did [02:12] user_: he meant kdesu nero, not kdesudo... [02:12] aha! "sudo chown username:username /dev/sg0" also works! [02:12] user_: sounds like a Japanese anime, doesn't it! [02:12] etfb: actually,I meant kdesudo [02:12] you guys are right, i'm sure! [02:12] genii: the /dev files are the same as before [02:12] aren't they the same? [02:12] nosrednaekim: really? Sorry! What's the difference? [02:13] bmk789: /dev files have nothing to do with how bios sees the geometry of the drive [02:13] !kdesudo | etfb [02:13] etfb: 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) [02:13] can i use them interchangably? [02:14] kdesu is definitely a faster type [02:14] nosrednaekim: foo! You learn something new every nanosecond round here. I'll have to go look up the history behind that. [02:14] user_: I think in gutsy, kdesu is juct linked to kdesudo [02:14] gotcha. i just learned something today (well, a couple things). Thanks guys [02:15] anyone know where cups stores remote printers, it is not in /etc/cups/printers.conf no matter what they say :-). [02:15] bios = motherboard hardware [02:15] Only thing there is my local printer. [02:15] alright, I'm off to burn libraries of data. Thanks all!

[02:16] !ping [02:16] pong [02:16] just checking [02:16] aw crap, i'm back [02:16] dmcglone: Then how does it know about the network printer after reboots, it has GOT to be someplace... [02:16] genii: ever get the feeling the people who designed IRC had too much time on their hands? [02:17] etfb: Sometimes, yes [02:17] now, when i insert a disc, i get *two* windows that open, asking what to do with it. [02:17] Cups is SO frustrating... [02:17] genii: ah well, in contrast I don't have time, so since I've finished my lunch break, I'd better go back to work... [02:17] i had this before, and i always got an "unmounting error" whenever i tried to eject the disc. How do i fix this one? [02:18] etfb: Enjoy! ;) [02:18] user_: try "sudo eject /dev/sg0" [02:18] nosrednaekim: yes, that will eject the disc, but how do i stop two instances of mounting the disc in the first place? [02:19] user_: oh.. [02:19] in the windows that pop up, the disc is blue, and in the other window, the disc is golden... what the heck? [02:19] user_: ah... its cause you are running nero as root, so the root "user" tries to mount it as well [02:20] user ./do you have a disc in the cd tray ? [02:20] K`zan, check /var/run/cups/cups.sock === ubuntu_ is now known as Linha [02:21] nosrednaekim: this is happening without even opening nero [02:22] user_: oh.. you probably have another app open as root.its a known bug [02:22] screenshot ----> http://legalcondom.mirror.waffleimages.com/files/ac/ac1963e70f0baa58da355b640020125366a85bad.png [02:22] user_ . take the cd out of the tray .. Kubuntu will mount any cd dvd ddr ect that has a cd in it . [02:22] sorry about the urlname... i uploaded to waffleimages.com XD [02:23] *cdr [02:23] crush_groove: ok, but how do i stop the two separate instances of mounting? [02:24] take 1 of the cds out [02:25] user_: see, note one icon is different? [02:25] crush_groove: i only have one cd - only one drive [02:25] am i not understanding ?: [02:25] see the box at the bottome that says what do you want to do next time ? [02:25] the "configure" button? [02:26] crush_groove: umm I don't think you see whats going on here [02:26] gotcha mike [02:26] Ill back out [02:26] nosrednaekim: so do you know how to fix this? [02:26] user_: did you notice that the icons are different? [02:26] yes [02:27] when i first installed gutsy, this happened, but stopped when i removed Dolphin. But know i have no idea what to do [02:28] on if them is the default icon scheme for you, the other is the system default..... its a KDEsudo bug for sure, and I think the creator of kdesudo is already working on it [02:28] *now [02:28] so i just gotta wait, then, eh? [02:28] user_: basically, yes... but when one of those dialogs pop up, select the menu which has the "silvery" looking icon [02:29] what if i used the default icon scheme... then this problem wouldn't happen? [02:29] user_: it would, but you couldn't tell the dialogs apart, so you'd be worse off [02:29] ugh. [02:29] ok then. thanks for the help once again! [02:30] heyheyhey [02:33] Soooo.... How about that Leopard? [02:35] Leopard ? mac ? [02:35] so, ubuntu releases come out usually after new version of gnome...but what about kubuntu and new versions of kde? [02:35] nosrednaekim: ok, last time i'll be here tonight :) I think I learned something else new from you [02:35] kde4 will be out in jan [02:35] bassmac: when it happens, it happens, and ussually you can always get the newest relelase of KDE from backports [02:35] Yes! Whoa! Proof of life! ... I'm not alone here :) [02:36] user_: which is... [02:36] nosrednaekim, but will it 'just work' or will I have to change things to use it [02:36] bassmac: yeah... it'll just work [02:36] good, cause I don't mind fiddling around, but I know people who don't [02:36] nosrednaekim, we hope ..... [02:36] nosrednaekim: it turns out i had two instances of konqueror running in the background when i was inserting the disc (i only found out when i rebooted, and on startup, i had to give superuser password). I killed the instances, inserted the disc, and *poof* - only one window opened! [02:37] user_: there you go... one of those konquerors was probably running as root [02:37] yup! [02:37] I *hate* cups... [02:37] you were right yet again [02:37] *bows down* [02:37] thanks [02:37] lol [02:37] ok, just wanted to tell you that. [02:37] ;) [02:37] gnite [02:37] night.. [02:38] K`zan, what's the trouble with cups ? [02:38] BluesKaj: Just changed distros (to kubuntu) and couldn't remember the URL for the printer and can't find it... [02:39] Kubuntu & ark... Right click a file, choose "extract here", then do the same on another file, when the first one completes, the otherone stops tooo, leaving U with the otherone broken.... :-( [02:39] BluesKaj: Copied the printcap over from the old distro and it works, but the web interface does not report it right, but it works. [02:39] Did I mention I *hate* cups :-). [02:40] cups..... [02:40] K`zan, just run the wizard again with the network printer and pc it's connected to , turned on. [02:40] The web interface thinks the url is "/dev/nul" but it works :-). [02:40] Poll! Anyone who does NOT hate CUPS raise ha hand! [02:40] BluesKaj: Did that, didn't find the printer.... [02:40] Offered me a pdf printer :) [02:40] (to file) [02:42] K`zan, sign on as 'guest"? in the wizard [02:42] W-O-W, suddenly a lot of ppl leave....

[02:51] K-Menu --> System Settings [02:51] Regional and Language, and add japanese [02:51] !rpm | Teixen [02:51] sudo apt-get install rpm [02:51] Teixen: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [02:51] thanks!! [02:52] isnt there another program that deals with rpms as well for debain? [02:52] Anyone having more than two displays? [02:52] mico: sup ?

[02:59] mico, well, yes, sometimes that is true [02:59] linux can be lean on documentation [03:01] Though, even how hard it is to sometimes get things done, when it's done, it keeps on going. [03:01] "some systems" just keep making trouble :) [03:02] ...even after they're fixed :-p [03:04] ... and I think it would be possible to get three displays if I'd splash out n a couple of matrox cards...

[03:23] jrsims: And, looking for cloning or a separate display [03:23] pastry: Your mixer selections are pretty much determined by the hardware. [03:23] mico: do you know what is up with my last issue here? [03:24] mico: not being able to adjust my monitor and display settings in Administrator mode? [03:24] All kmix or alsamixer do is provide a GUI to change the settings. [03:25] * jhutchins is not sure just what "set my sound output to 4.0" means, but suspects it's an output mode. [03:25] jrsims: Well, no... I dont know jack shit about your system :) [03:26] mico: it's saying "Possible reasons: An Error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module OR You have old third party modules lying around." This is stupid because this is a fresh install with updates applied. [03:26] mico: know how I could reinstall the said modules? [03:28] jrsims: try running "kcmshell displayconfig" [03:28] jrsims: something other than displaythings have gone seriously awry... [03:29] nosrednaekim: ok, now what? [03:29] jrsims: did that work? [03:30] nosrednaekim: got a window that said I needed to be in Admin mode to do anything. so I switched to that mode and got "The module Monitor & Display could not be loaded" [03:30] so same story [03:30] jrsims: try "kdesudo kcmshell displayconfig" [03:30] (kde seems really fragile) [03:30] k [03:31] nosrednaekim: same exact thing. [03:32] jrsims: yech. are you running XGL? [03:32] no [03:32] jrsims: kde is a bit "fragile"... But seems like something was missing in the install..... Checksummed the install-cd? [03:32] should I reinstall KDE over apt? [03:33] jrsims: are you sure you're not? do you even have it installed? [03:33] mico: no, I didn't checksum. After install, it was fine. Just now it isn't. [03:33] nosrednaekim: absolutely positive. I did not install that. [03:34] nosrednaekim: Could possibly missing/broken parts be fixed by reinstalling with apt? [03:34] jrsims: hmm k... [03:34] jrsims: is this a ubuntu install or a fresh kubuntu? [03:34] nosrednaekim: it's a pretty fresh kubuntu with updates applied. [03:34] jrsims: humm.

[03:38] jrsims: Did you "fiddle" with the system earlier?, before the upgrade? [03:38] mico: installed some packages like irssi, nmap, etc. [03:39] would reinstalling KDE help? or is there a way to revert to default video settings and start over? [03:40] jrsims: me not know jack s*t [03:41] jrsims: Hey! Ati & laptop... What happens if the secondary display is ON and connected when You cold boot the machine?

[05:37] Saagar: it's a big topic. Can you narrow down your question a little? [05:38] jessie: AFAIK, you'll be able to upgrade to KDE4 when it arrives (January?) but it's independent of the kernel upgrades [05:38] yes. Whenever I enable multicasting in my ip cam, my LAN gets congested [05:38] etfb, dang... when is the next kernel update going to be out/ [05:38] ? [05:38] any guess etfb? [05:39] jessie: hardy? [05:39] dang... [05:39] thats a while away... [05:39] back to compliing my own... [05:39] whenever linus says so [05:39] not so, you can install it now :} [05:39] Saagar: it's well beyond my area of knowledge. What I'd suggest is rephrasing the question with a different focus. A lot of people are lurking here but only glancing this way occasionally. You may catch their eye with different keywords. [05:40] what? hardy? and i meant if there was going to be a kernel update for kubuntu [05:40] jessie: new kernels come down the line every couple of months at least. I got ?4 with feisty. [05:40] for gutsy? [05:40] yeah [05:40] jessie: probably about due for a new one, actually [05:40] kubuntu = debian = linux = linus torvalds controls the kernel updates [05:40] update or new kernel [05:41] my bad... im a bit tired.... and he does? like, update from 2.6.20-15-generic to .16? [05:41] currently 2.6.22.14-generic [05:41] jessie: that sort of thing comes out when the gods of Ubuntu say. Won't be that long. Why do you want a new kernel? [05:41] dsfargeg [05:42] I enabled the cam to the multicast address 239.244.180.39 . Does it multicast outside my LAN? [05:42] lol [05:42] cause... my gateway laptop wont even boot into the one that shipped with gutsy. so i have gutsy everything except the kernel, etfb [05:42] I love music [05:43] it makes my life less boring [05:43] to my knowledge 239.x.x.x is within the network . right? [05:43] it's not kubuntu = ubuntu = debian etc...? [05:43] 127.0.0.1 <3 [05:43] jessie: yikes! I guess the best thing to do is compile your own kernel. I'm told it's not hard (and it's a rite of passage for Linux g33ks) but I've never done it. [05:43] no, kubuntu is the same thing as ubuntu with a different UI [05:44] etfb: just did.... im just talking on msn to a girl i like and dont want to restart... lmao! [05:44] ubuntu is debian based or debian compatible, not like I care [05:44] Oh, I thought they were distinct distros with their own developers, or what have you [05:44] I'm going to go smoke a cigarette [05:44] have fun twylight [05:44] then wander around aimlessly [05:44] lol... nice [05:44] take a few too many sleeping pills [05:45] and then pass out [05:45] haha wow... [05:45] seriously I'm wired [05:45] and it needs to stop [05:45] adamonline45: Debian is the parent distro, if you like. Ubuntu is a debian-based distro, but controlled by a company (Shuttleworth's company - starts with C, I'm drawing a blank here...) [05:45] so I'm going to take like two or six sleeping pills [05:45] k guys... time to restart [05:45] ;p [05:45] Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Ubuntu are all just Ubuntu with different windows managers (KDE, XFce and Gnome) [05:46] exactly [05:46] gotcha [05:46] what's edubuntu?

Can anyone help me out? [06:12] But My LAN bandwidth 100 Mbps [06:12] Ch1ppy: how much ram do you have? [06:12] onishidato: 2 gigs, and I'm nowhere near that amount [06:12] i enabled only 6 Mbps in the device [06:13] would that clog my network? [06:13] Saagar, but you want use higher res ? [06:13] Ch1ppy: wow [06:13] onishidato: :) [06:13] yes [06:13] Ch1ppy: and your VGA card? [06:13] onishidato: eVGA eGeForce 6800 GT [06:13] I suspect it is streaming outside my LAN. [06:14] Ch1ppy: maybe you should check your card, cause some cards doesn't support your game setting [06:14] onishidato: it handles the game really well (100+ FPS) except when X randomly spikes [06:14] oobe: What do you think? [06:14] Saagar, yeah it could cause 100 Mbps is still only theoretical speed plus are you streaming to more than one person at once [06:14] onishidato: so I don't think it's related to the game settings or anything exceeding the capabilities of my box [06:15] Ch1ppy: does it usually happen? [06:16] Oobe: How can I limit streaming to a particular group? [06:16] onishidato: you mean the X spikes? I'm watching it now, and it doesn't seem to happen without nexuiz running, but I don't see it being an issue with nexuiz [06:16] Say the ip address range 192.168.11.80 - 192.168.11.89 [06:16] onishidato: it does spike to ~4-7% cpu every now and then, but nowhere near the magnitude that I see while playing [06:16] Saagar, not sure [06:17] Ch1ppy: i c [06:17] okay oobe. Thank you anyway [06:17] Saagar, ur probably better limiting access to the ip cam [06:17] onishidato: yeah... I'm a little confused as to what might cause sudden, short spikes like that too though. I can't think of anything that would do that... :S [06:18] have u checked whats going on with netstat ?

Lemme try that out [06:19] rohan: which one? [06:19] onishidato: acer_acpi [06:19] onishidato: hehe. I doubt it though, since I can see the X process spiking in CPU usage when the lag happens, not just nexuiz compensating or something (I actually had that issue with CS 1.6 on windows before though, dual core problems :) ) [06:19] # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time. [06:19] Dr_willis: thank you. [06:19] rohan, add it to the /etc/modules file [06:19] I just wanted to verify if multicasting can also clogg the network. Coz it is a technology to reduce the netwrok traffic. right? [06:20] :) [06:20] oobe: Im not good at networks, plz correct me if im wrong [06:20] hey [06:20] wazzup\ [06:20] what [06:21] wassup [06:21] whatsup [06:21] that's so 90's [06:21] i know [06:21] Ch1ppy: got it he he [06:21] i was born in the 88 [06:21] the 90`s kicked ass [06:22] What You Talking about phil_ ! [06:22] :) [06:22] the freakin 90s lol [06:22] Saagar, i really dont know much about multicasting but im assuming if you watching a broadcast over your lan it should consume a fair amount of bandwidth [06:22] its all a blure to me... [06:22] lord i feel old now [06:22] dr.willis? [06:23] though i know i'm probably about median around here [06:23] oobe:thank you [06:23] i love this game awesome [06:23] 28 in just under 3 weeks :\ [06:24] tremulous everyone should get it [06:24] Saagar, are you trying to do somthing like a security ip cam system then using lower res should be an easy fix other wise i saw a fairly indepth tutorial on streaming tv over a campus using LAN i cant find it but google should help === phil_ is now known as phil_hardcore [06:25] de de de [06:25] phil_ that game makes me dizy and i puke.. :) [06:26] sorry [06:26] wall crawling/fisheyed/jumping aliens = way dizzy :) [06:26] lol [06:26] oobe: Okay. Thanks for your patience and help [06:26] i love that games [06:26] Of course the fact that i SUCK at the game dont help much [06:26] Saagar, as for limiting streaming to a particular group you could use ip tables to set a rule on what ip ranges can access the ip cam [06:26] Saagar, dont ask me how though [06:26] nexuiz? [06:26] oobe: :) Sure i wont [06:27] Ill stick with Team Fortress 2 for now. :) [06:27] lol [06:27] at least i spend more time alive, then dead in TF2 [06:27] Saagar, only cause i dont know [06:27] do you like devil driver? [06:27] the band? [06:27] hey im trying to install linux cause my computer retarted mid way [06:27] * Dr_willis jams to Kenny G. [06:27] and im doing it manual install now it doesnt seem to be working [06:27] oh noo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [06:27] HI all [06:27] I am trying to setup a dedicated partition for builds [06:27] Should i user ResierFS instead of ext3? [06:28] Mani213, my computer was retarted once [06:28] no use ext3 [06:28] I see no reason to use reiserfs over ext3. [06:28] ye like it was configuring after installing linux [06:28] Dr_willis: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=4#doc_chap4 [06:28] Unless you got some very speficic idea/needs as to why you need reiser. [06:28] monzie, just because gentoo suggests it . doesnt make it a good idea. :) [06:28] The gentoo handbook says reiser is faster than ext3 [06:28] anyone using enlightenment? [06:28] monzie, ive heard its faster at SOME operations. [06:28] Dr_willis: But i could not get ubuntu's position on filesystems, so aksed [06:29] Dr_willis: for builds? [06:29] Dr_willis: essentiallly i want to build KDE4 on the partition [06:29] phil_hardcore, been using the gos and Geubuntu desktops a little. :) [06:29] how do i install it manualy when the drives are there but it doesnt let me [06:29] do i check the home drive or the swap driveÉ [06:29] psh [06:30] Mani213, did u try using the alternate install [06:30] monzie, i aint touching KDE4 for some time. :) heh heh . I dont think you would gain much by using reiserfs on the build filesystem. but try it both ways and see I guess. [06:30] what do you mean alternate installÉ [06:30] Dr_willis: ok. i like building kde4. [06:30] i would just wait on kde 4 until the stable comes out [06:31] Dr_willis: Thought my laptop would maybe able to build it faster if i used reiserfs [06:31] laptop hd's are often so slow.. its.. well.. sad. :( [06:31] Mani213, there is a alternate install disk that doesnt use a DE it is all command like a Debian installer and it is much more versatile [06:31] My poor laptop has a 4800 rpm hd. :( [06:31] distcc an a lan of helper machines may help more. :) [06:31] okay well is there any way of resuming the installationÉ [06:32] u are better off starting again [06:32] was it a fresh install [06:32] so if the drive is already created from preivous installtion would i just format the ext3 driveÉ [06:32] or the swap drive toÉ [06:35] is there a popup blocker for kubuntu [06:36] firefox [06:36] There are such extensions for firefox. [06:36] adblock, noscript, and others. [06:37] Dr_willis: oh ok but do they work good [06:37] how can i move data from one computer to another and still make sure it is verified? [06:37] Dr_willis: becuase i get alot of pop up [06:37] s [06:37] they work same for me under windows as they do linux. [06:37] I dont recall getting any popups [06:38] In fact i find it bizzar when i use other pwoples machines that dont have them. at the shere FLood of spammy ads they get. :) [06:38] is there a software to combain two hard drives back to one disk [06:39] cause of partitioningÉ [06:39] Who ever came up with that Intellitext Double Underline popup ad/link thing. keeds to be .. well.. removed. :) [06:40] * twylight hiccusspssss mainaiccally [06:41] Mani213, you dont need to format it but it shouldnt take that long and wouldnt hurt [06:41] 10 bed [06:41] 20 goto 10 [06:41] 30 end [06:42] 15 print ZZZzzz... [06:42] oobe: you know how i mac computers have a icon dock thats 3d can you get that for kubuntu as wellÉ [06:42] Mani213, you can use cfdisk to delete the unwanted partitions and make a new one with the combined space [06:42] theres various dock/panel replacements for kde.. but a lot of them are rather.. lacking :) [06:43] so whats the swap drive for storing dataÉ [06:43] Mani213, i really cant answer you last question [06:43] !info kooldock | Mani213 [06:43] mani213: kooldock: Dock for KDE with cool visual enhancements.

[06:45] better then a swap file. :) [06:45] Of course if you got a lot of ram. you really dont need one i hear.. but i always put at least 512mb swap partion on all my hd's [06:46] oh okay okay [06:46] ye cause i was wondering whats the point of 2 hard drives [06:46] 2 PARTITIONS is NOT the same as 2 hard drives... [06:46] Dont get the 2 terms confused. :)( [06:47] would the swap file be readable if you operate windows É === onishidato is now known as oni === oni is now known as onishidato [06:47] Mani213, you sound like you need to be doing some basic reading up on linux there are many website resources available to choose from [06:48] Mani213, www.google.com/linux [06:48] hey guys [06:48] Is there anyone familiar with using KDevelop as a C++ IDE? [06:48] hey im reinstalling and it stoped at scanning mirror [06:49] at the configuring apt [06:49] windows will not use the linux swap partition, or a linux swap file. :) [06:49] Linux can have swap FILES, and/or swap partitions also. :) and yes you can have one of each. or several of each. [06:49] i use both window and Kubuntu on my computer. i use 2 HD, 1 for WinXp, and one for Kubuntu, now, i'm using Kubuntu, but i want to check the other hardisk from kubuntu, how can i do now. [06:50] Normal Linux HD layout. 1 drive.. Parittion 1 (as big as ya can get ) mounted to /. then a swap partition. i make mine 512mb+ [06:50] onishidato, check? you want to scan the ntfs filesystem for errors? [06:50] no [06:50] define 'check' then. :) [06:50] i want to get the data from windowxp [06:51] You mean Mount the windows filesystem :) [06:51] onishidato, i think he just wants to look at his windows files [06:51] !ntfs3g [06:51] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

[06:54] Mani213, you dont normally install programs in such a way [06:54] The package manager tools allow you to install/remove/update programs in a rather easy way. [06:54] sorry the É suppose to be questionmark i guess its because im still installing linux right now [06:55] Mani213: Ah, ok, no problem. [06:55] package manager tool that comes with kubuntu 7.10 rightÉ [06:55] of course it comes with it. :) [06:55] !apt [06:56] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.

[07:31] by* [07:31] yup [07:31] how do i do that? [07:31] those links should tell you [07:31] boot into the live cd, then mount your root partition [07:31] then repair grub [07:31] then reboot with the cd out [07:34] !ohmy [07:34] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

(I don't want it to screw vista up, I use it for some things) [07:45] Sulo_Seppa, you can run it off the cdrom and see how it runs :D === Agrajag` is now known as Agrajag [07:46] Well I was also wondering if it works wireless or if you still have to set all that crap up? [07:46] hi, is there any way to transfer files using ANY im client to gtalk on winxp [07:47] Sulo_Seppa: Is that laptop 64bit? [07:47] yes [07:47] ok [07:47] Sulo_Seppa, it wont hurt to put the cd into the laptop and load it up. Anything you do wont affect your hard drive until you install it. Who knows, maybe wireless will work on boot :D [07:48] quit [07:48] Oh I wish. but I've grown accustom to having to grab one of my dusty cat5's and downloading some windows driver and doing that fun process [07:48] hello [07:48] I run vista + 64bit kubuntu on another computer just fine. I would recommend using the vista partition resizing utility though, as I've came across errors when using anything else, like partition magic and such [07:48] does the iso from this link http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php allow you to install kubuntu? [07:48] or is it just a bootable livecd without the hdd install script? [07:49] Sulo_Seppa: soon you will see the light though, and find that the vista partition is just taking up space :p [07:50] Well, I normally just use linux only, but there are some nice things about this. I may get rid of it if I get full functionality in linux (which I doubt) [07:50] So use vista resize? [07:50] yup [07:50] Sulo_Seppa have you run kubuntu live off the cd on the laptop before? [07:50] i tried fixing grub but doesnt seem to be working [07:50] vista doesn't like anything else touching the drives, go figure [07:50] nah, I just got done burning the iso [07:51] the dvd iso [07:51] is there a command (other than ls) to display the size of a file? [07:51] dh [07:51] i had to boot from cd inorder to run linux [07:51] du [07:51] du -h [07:51] du? haha 1 day of vista.. [07:51] I typed sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a ... what the hell did I get myself into? :) [07:52] ibilic: reconfiguring every package is what [07:52] :P === bsander is now known as bsander|gone [07:52] ibilic: thats only going to fix stuff... [07:53] I don't get this thing... I install Kubuntu on my computer, and I just try to update everything using Adept... and it crashes... how lame is that? [07:53] and then I want my USB drive to work... and I have to look up on the forums how to deal with the bug [07:53] is there any way of fixing grub while on linux [07:53] Sulo_Seppa, cool. Let us know if kubuntu found all your drivers when you ran it live from the cd on your laptop :) [07:53] and then the K-meny thing... again... looking up on the internet how to fix it [07:53] Okay, well partition will be easy since I have 2 HDDs (one has nothing on it yet, both 120GB), but will kubuntu set up grub right for vista? I've done dual-boot with xp, I don't know if vista is too much different. [07:53] nothing seems to work the easy way! [07:53] ubuntu: get into the grub shell via -> sudo grub [07:54] how do i do that? [07:54] but I won't give up :) [07:54] ibilic: good man [07:54] You may need to execute the asoundconf(1) set-default-card macro. [07:54] /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: libc6 is broken or not fully installed [07:55] what does this mean? what is libc6? [07:55] its very important [07:55] thats what [07:55] i think this crashed Adept [07:55] okay well I am going to boot the live cd. hopefully I can connect... [07:56] sudo mount -o dev /mnt/hda1? [07:56] can i type that in when i type in alt f6? [07:56] ubuntu: You'll need a device, simply using "dev" won't do [07:56] so gimmi step by step what i should do [07:57] ok so how do I fix the libc6 thing... I am reading what it is... and yes... it does seem pretty important.... [07:57] easy and fast [07:57] type this [07:57] sudo grub [07:57] do you see --> grub> [07:57] a grub shell?

Perhaps when you have time, you could take a look at the !grub tutorial and enhance it if possible. [08:13] sub[t]rnl: will those instructions make grub 'find' a vista OS on a seperate hard drive. Ie I installed kubuntu a while back but grub didn't pick up the vista installation [08:13] ardchoille: yes sir [08:13] how do i start ubuntu from windows boot menu ? [08:14] Hi, does anyone know what the default root password is after install, unable to do a sudo command [08:14] isnt there any automatic way ? [08:14] no [08:14] johann787: There is no root pass, sudo uses your user passwd [08:15] !root | johann787 [08:15] johann787: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [08:15] PJC121: using that method will only repair grub on a harddrive that has its installation files [08:15] I tries to use sudo but my username which I entered in the beginning is not in the sudo list [08:15] can i had an sudusless user ?

[08:17] unlocking the root acount is easy [08:18] johann787: You won't be using or setting up a root password in any ubuntu install, sudo is used, the root account is locked.

[08:19] also, something that will let me browse all those websites requireing special plugins like youtube [08:19] johann787: The recommended and supported method is to use sudo, it can do anything root can do.

[08:20] never eard about it [08:20] isnt root acount there ?

I suggest booting to a text login (Alt+F1 will let you do that if you're not there already) and then use the dpkg-reconfigure command. Let me check the syntax... [09:33] it was a fresh install, all i did was what the thing suggests [09:33] !nvidia [09:33] To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [09:33] and enable the nvidia thing in restricted drivers [09:34] but it kills eveyrthing === nunom_ is now known as nunom__ === nunom__ is now known as nfma [09:34] atwo1: I don't trust those restricted drivers.

First off, the live dvd didn't work for graphics unless I put noapic and other stuff, and second, it didn't have the wireless drivers.. I thought that kinda stuff was added in 7.10. How am I expected to connect to the internet if I need to download the drivers from the internet? [09:40] ok the story is....... [09:40] Sulo_Seppa: I sympathise; I'm having hell with wifi drivers too. Mind you, it's mostly self-inflicted in my case... [09:40] i installed kubuntu, the res is completely rooted in native. it's meant to be 1440x900 but using that forces the left edge of the screen inwards horizontally by about 200px. i enter the restricted drivers and turn on the nvidia detection and on restart it screws everything [09:40] im abuot to reinstall [09:42] etfb: how so? [09:42] atwo1: what happens if you press Ctrl+Alt+F1? (press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to get back to the X window if necessary) [09:42] from what [09:42] when i restart the screen comes to a blank black screen [09:42] but i can type in text [09:42] that does nothing [09:42] And I can get wifi working pretty easily, so why the _hell_ is it not included in ubuntu? [09:43] Sulo_Seppa: I uninstalled knetworkmanager and can't get it back. Wifi is included, but your installation may have stuffed up. [09:43] atwo1: just try it from there. Either it does something or it doesn't. [09:43] oi [09:43] that screen u told me to go to [09:43] the ctrl alt f1 [09:43] thats what the screen looks like when i reboot after the above changes [09:44] can i use a shortcut there to make somethnig happen [09:44] Press enter and see if you get a login prompt [09:44] What? No, I need the drivers, I mean why the hell doesn't ubuntu come with wireless drivers? [09:44] wait [09:44] im restarting [09:45] Sulo_Seppa: what hardware are you on (brand, model, wireless card, etc) [09:45] i restatr and it gets to this blank screen [09:45] with no prompt [09:45] atwo1: try Ctrl+Alt+F2 and tell me what you see [09:45] HP Pavilion dv9628nr Broadcom [09:45] OH MY FKING GOD [09:45] A LOGIN [09:45] Sulo_Seppa: googling now... please wait... [09:46] IM LOGGED IN OMFG [09:46] so thats what that useless screen is for [09:46] etfb: I know how to set it up [09:46] jwasuas [09:46] etfb: u just saved me so much [09:46] atwo1: Aha! Thank Google! Now do the dpkg thingy. [09:46] now how do i make crapbuntu work [09:46] load the kde [09:46] and main everything [09:47] etfb: It's just insane, because most wireless cards in laptops that I've seen are brodcom and intel (which is supported, obviously). [09:47] what do i type to load the KDE [09:47] startx [09:48] i did that [09:48] atwo1: what is your problem though? [09:48] it said [09:48] XIO [09:48] fatal IO error 104 === is is now known as Is_ [09:48] connection reset by peer on X server ":0.0" [09:48] Heh, you screwed up x? [09:48] atwo1: do the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command and go through the resetting of the windows system. It _should_ fix all your problems. [09:48] all i did [09:48] i installed kubuntu, the res is completely rooted in native. it's meant to be 1440x900 but using that forces the left edge of the screen inwards horizontally by about 200px. i enter the restricted drivers and turn on the nvidia detection and on restart it screws everything [09:48] then [09:48] i get this blank screen [09:48] i ctrl alt f2 [09:48] and login [09:48] type startx [09:48] and get what i just said [09:49] oh [09:49] okay [09:49] well do you know how to use vim? [09:49] i dont know anything i've had a linux system for 2 days [09:49] and its given me shit the whole time [09:49] okay then use nano [09:49] use what [09:49] let me try and explain.. [09:49] im in some black screen [09:49] how do i get to desktop [09:49] okay, in the terminal type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf [09:50] now what [09:50] Go down do where you see something like Device "nVidia" and change it to nv [09:50] it says [09:50] Sulo_Seppa: "Driver" "nvidia" not Device [09:50] Device 'nvidia coporation nv24 [ngeforece fx 5500] [09:50] which is my card [09:51] (I'll leave you two to it, since you're probably on the way now. I'm popping over to #ubuntu to see if anyone there can help me...) [09:51] okay [09:51] under what part is that [09:51] 1sec [09:52] Section "Device" [09:52] "Driver" "nvidia" [09:52] change into "Driver" "nv" [09:52] yeah [09:52] how do i save it [09:53] alt-x to exit then it asks to save I think [09:53] no that made help mode disabled [09:53] ctrl-x [09:53] ok [09:53] saved [09:53] and i typed startx [09:53] when partitioning a disk, isn't there a way to say *not* to automatically allocate 6% of the drive or something? I just formatted a 80GB hard disk, I got 75 out of it. with kubuntu insisting on taking 6% of space, I now only have 71GB of space... anyone know how to resize that 6%? [09:53] it's not 6% [09:54] finally, desktop is loaded [09:54] my system backup is 73GB, I cannot trim it anymore :( [09:54] vbgunz: 80GB? 80GiB ? [09:54] You want to remove the tables? good luck with that lol [09:54] exist a method for know the cpu temp?? [09:54] /quit [09:55] waltercool_eee: lm_sensors [09:55] woops [09:55] acpi -P [09:55] ok [09:55] Sulo_Seppa: now my res is screwed how can i fix it without that restricted driver [09:55] vbgunz: ext3? use tune2fs [09:55] StevenR: but i /proc? [09:55] Without the driver? I dunno [09:55] how can i force 1440x900 cover the whole scvreen instead of squishing the left side inwards by 200px [09:56] in [09:56] StevenR: it's pitched as an 80GB hard drive, looking at the label, it says 82.3GB. after formatting, the total size is 75GB, Kubuntu is taking up 6% and its leaving me with 71GB. my backup is 73GB :( [09:56] waltercool_eee: acpi -P [09:56] atwo1: Well.. [09:57] its in native res now [09:57] but the left is shoved over [09:57] Sulo_Seppa: Wow... thanks!! :P [09:57] atwo1: if you really want to, then edit that xorg.conf file again and add the resolution you want with all of the other ones. it should be pretty obvious, but make sure to back it up [09:57] vbgunz: man tune2fs (-m) [09:57] its in the native res, it pushes the left side over for some reason [09:57] its covernig 15% of the screen as a thicxk vertical black strip [09:57] Oh [09:58] oi [09:58] ok [09:58] i typed [09:58] alt ctrl backspc [09:58] it does [09:58] Heh [09:58] xinit: connection to x server lost [09:58] then a prompt [09:58] then i have to type startx [09:58] man im reinstalling [09:58] ctrl+alt+backspace logs you out [09:58] and just not using that shit restricted thing [09:59] it jstu kills it [09:59] llutz: without a walkthrough, that man will take me quite a while to understand :( do you know of a walkthrough using tune2fs that addresses the 6% issue? [09:59] vbgunz: what is this 6% ? [09:59] I found one once, I never thought I would need it. now I want to take a backup off site and am 2GB greater than the target :( [09:59] vbgunz: set it to 2%: sudo tune2fs -m 2 /dev/sdXY [10:00] llutz: I'll try [10:00] let me check man on -m [10:01] atwo1: reinstalling ubuntu?

[11:37] yeah [11:37] atwo1: adjust the screen [11:37] LOL [11:37] that doesnt work man [11:37] SRSLY [11:37] its some drive fk up [11:38] or, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [11:38] Stevethepirate: I wasn't the one going to upgrade his RAM :P [11:39] I was just asking [11:39] I've had people asking why their PC runs slow [11:39] and its like 256 meg /ram [11:39] ugh [11:39] OK :) [11:39] running like apache servers, tinyproxy, and liek 100 services [11:39] still, you could use amrok just fine, if you confi.. [11:39] yeah, OK :) [11:41] well my firefox runs slow [11:41] i think some update messed someting up [11:47] Hi [11:47] can someone help me? [11:47] with what? [11:47] i got a problem [11:47] i used opensuse first [11:47] Atleast it's just firefox running slow, and not a distribution upgrade gone wrong... A few weeks ago, I came in from work exhausted, not thinking, and ran the Kubuntu Dist. upgrade via synaptic... it worked... at first... but 1/3 way thru the upgrade, it bricked! I ended up having to backup everything I could via tarballing the directories, and had to reinstall... so I upgraded that way instead [11:47] but i tried kubuntu now [11:48] but the problem is, theres a lot diffrent from opensuse [11:48] i want to install programs like compiz fusion and the themes and stuff [11:48] right [11:48] but i can only install compiz manager [11:48] you use apt [11:48] or adept manager [11:48] ye i tried [11:48] but theres a lot less software then opensuse [11:48] have you installed synaptic [11:48] or can i add repositories? [11:48] yes you can [11:49] sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [11:49] 'sudo apt-get install synaptic' [11:49] add repos to that [11:49] oke where can i find a list with all repositories? [11:49] I don't think there is one :) [11:49] there is one for Compiz Fusion [11:49] lolz, where i find the repos then? [11:49] yes but i want community repos [11:49] with lots of craps :P [11:49] search google: Kubuntu Apt repos [11:50] oki [11:50] ty [11:50] ;) [11:50] np [11:50] and enable universe and multiverse repos in sources.list [11:50] absolutely [11:51] sorry, im not familiar with text mode and console [11:51] u just used windowmanager [11:51] you'd like synaptic, alot , I think. it's totally graphical [11:51] That's Gnome isn't it? [11:51] i dont know, i just use kde [11:51] use Adept Manager [11:51] it works regardless [11:51] :) [11:52] can i ask you something [11:52] I don't like Gnome [11:52] yes [11:52] me neither [11:52] I don't either [11:52] sure [11:52] is kubuntu really the most popular distro? [11:52] and user friendly? [11:52] yes [11:52] lolz oke [11:52] It has been for me anyway :) [11:52] i think i REALLY REALLY REALLY need to get used to kubuntu [11:52] cuz im like holy crap wtf is this [11:52] last I remember, it was... but check http://distrowatch.com [11:52] ok, i used opensuse before, and i liked it alot [11:52] hehe [11:52] lots of software and stuff [11:53] I found out how to enable the root account in the server version Its rather simple and should be documented [11:53] yes i used that [11:53] I don't really like SuSE [11:53] why not?:) [11:53] boot the cd again and choose rescue [11:53] johann787: They don't want it documented [11:53] ask for a command shell and change the password for root [11:53] It's really confusing [11:53] personally, and I've used many distros, Kubuntu has been the most friendly distro I've used since 1997 [11:53] why's that? [11:54] johann787: Please don't post that here, it's neither recommended nor necessary [11:54] ok, well i like kubuntu alot especially its very fast i think [11:54] If I´m setting up a server I want to enebla the root acount , but if im setting up a desktop machine the sudo is fine [11:54] but i need to get used to all the functions [11:54] indeed [11:54] johann787: That's fine for your server, but we should follow recommended and supported procedure when advising others. [11:54] do you think there's more software available to (k)ubuntu than for SuseA? [11:55] -a [11:55] Well you need to know about the sudo BUG in the 7.10, I´m unable to do a sudo when I´m finished installing [11:55] best bet... if you want root active, don't use Kubuntu, or Ubuntu... use Debian 4.0r1 instead. It's more designed for hackers/programmers [11:55] dansko: there is the same ammount [11:55] have you tried using 'sudu su' ? [11:55] ohyeah, its universal aint it? [11:55] yup [11:56] so if i want to use repos from suse i can use them on kubu? [11:56] for exampl [11:56] negative [11:56] e [11:56] i thought so [11:56] the packages are compiled differently [11:56] you can use alien [11:56] but it doesn't always work [11:56] suse uses RPMs, like Fedora/RHEL [11:56] Use of alien is also not recommended. [11:56] ok [11:56] !alien [11:56] RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) [11:57] Kubuntu uses DEB packages, like debian [11:57] aha ok :) [11:57] you can always complie it [11:57] yes but i think compiling is a risk [11:57] now, you *can* use Debian packages natively [11:57] i dont even know what it means exactly ;p [11:57] dansko: why? [11:57] It just takes ages [11:57] cuz last time u needed to enable xgl [11:58] When you need to compile every app [11:58] I think not [11:58] I've had no probs compiling from source, other than getting the dev environment together in the first place... [11:58] i used this command: gnome-xgl-switch --enable-xgl and i forgot one - [11:58] my pc wouldnt boot anymore :P thats only a command [11:58] the problem was that there is no meta-package for it [11:58] when i try to compile amsn the computer trips like hell [11:58] so, ya gotta know what you need. [11:58] dansko: maybe just x wasn't starting? [11:58] i dont know, im a newbie to linu [11:58] x [11:59] ok :) [11:59] :p [11:59] ima find some repos [11:59] ty for help :) [11:59] :) [11:59] that's one area where I've found that Fedora's package system was better thought out... but, all distros are constantly improving, and I expect that that will be remedied soon enough... ppl just have to request it and it'll eventually happen [12:02] but, that said, I sucessfully installed a good dev environment, enough to compile UnrealIRCD, espernet IRC services, and bopm onto a Athlon 64 3000+ running Kubuntu 7.10-x64 [12:02] it's been running flawlessly now for about 6 weeks on that installation. [12:04] though, I *do* have one complaint... but it's with another vendor... UltraVNC should be ported to Linux. I say that because it's got the best security model of any VNC server that I've used since VNC arrived on the scene [12:04] the good thing is that you can "apt-get build-dep" for packages which are present in apt [12:04] I didn't knew that a while back, gave me headaches compiling mplayer-SVN :) [12:05] * Tw|sT works on his Linux & Windows Servers remotely, most of the time, using Xming to make a XDCMP connection to the Xserver itself. [12:05] (rather, uses UltraVNC for windows servers, and Xming for Linux) [12:08] Synaptic, which is a front end for apt, has that option (build-dep). It also has an option that auto adds recommended packages as if they were deps. This is really handy. [12:10] btw, synaptic is multi platform. I started using it on Red Hat 8.0-psyche, and have used it on every distro since. On a few of them, I did have to add repos (found them via a google search), but overall it's been the best package manager that I've found [12:11] wasn't synaptic the GNOME-pendant to adept? :) [12:12] Kohlrabi: most gnome apps can run quite well in kde and vice-versa [12:12] I'm not sure that it's gnome dependent, but then again, I always install support for gnome apps. Thing is, I do that only so that I can run gnome apps within KDE [12:12] wtf just happened [12:12] right [12:12] atwo1: Please watch your language in this channel. You have been given several reminders. [12:14] Jay-Oh-En: oi [12:14] talk here so he shuts up [12:15] Jay-Oh-En: oi [12:15] atwo1: pastebin.com [12:15] oi? [12:15] wait up [12:15] hi [12:16] god what a tosser [12:16] seriously [12:16] omg [12:17] he needs a nap [12:17] http://pastebin.com/d44dbde48 === atwo1 is now known as atwo [12:17] so atwo [12:17] there [12:17] ^ [12:18] anyways, as soon as I install Kubuntu, I open Konsole, and run 'sudo apt-get install synaptic'. After Synaptic is installed, I install the two meta packages 'KDE' & 'gnome'. This installs all the base packages for both environments. From there, you can install anything else you need with a much higher level of success of it working. [12:18] atwo, don't make me ban you here too [12:18] Mez: leave me alone please i'm working on this issue, thx [12:18] atwo, then stop making personal attacks against members of the community [12:18] i'm not making personal anythnig on anyone im trying to talk to jay oh en [12:18] you're just hassling me [12:19] and im not even talking to u in here [12:19] Jay-Oh-En: any idea? [12:19] on what to change to make it work [12:19] atwo: yes [12:19] it's on native res atm [12:19] but it pushes the left side over [12:19] hi im back again [12:19] for some odd reason [12:19] Tw|sT, / what are meta packages ? [12:19] I have an idea... use a query chat. [12:19] atwo, I believe calling me a tosser is consdered an attack [12:19] atwo: ill edit your xorg [12:19] twist can you help me again for a sec? [12:19] crush_groove: meta-packages are compound packages that link to several subpackages. [12:20] basically, they install suites of applications [12:20] * Tw|sT is about out of time... and has to get ready for work [12:20] Jay-Oh-En: ok [12:20] dansko: I'll send you my email address, and will help out as possible as time allows. [12:21] ok that would be great [12:21] question.. the universe repo is not included on the dvd right? only main and restricted? [12:21] atwo: ok i edited it [12:21] http://pastebin.com/m27ff289b [12:22] atwo: or just go to system settings [12:22] dansko : see PM. [12:22] monitor and display atwo [12:23] how do i copy it all [12:23] * Tw|sT splits to get ready for work [12:23] atwo: then set it there [12:23] ive backed up my home directory to a new drive under /usr/home .. i will be reinstalling kubuntu from afresh onto / and then linking my /home to /usr/home after reinstall.. should all my app configurations remain as before? [12:23] atwo: join #mychannel [12:23] can anybody help me? [12:24] hmm.. have i gotten it right? b|cos if i use the dvd only and add universe to it. it wount work, so for using universe you have to use an online repo right? [12:24] i tried to install packages, but when i do its says that it cant connect, cant find source for packages or that when it installs packages it could be that it screws up system...? [12:26] sudo apt-get gnome? << will install meta package?

[12:57] now what is the newer drv, th "nv" or the "nvidia", or are they the same (have a geforce 4400 ti) [12:57] crush_groove: It edits /etc/X11/xorg.conf [12:57] mib_: You should use the nv (2d) driver unless you have manually installed the nvidia (3d) driver [12:57] ty ardchoille .. just sittin here watchin and learning .. so my questions are kinda random [12:57] will kde4 be available for 7.10 release?

[13:08] i dont think so === Deviance is now known as TimS [13:09] hm, you need ntfs-3g to write to ntfs partition, the old driver only supports reading [13:10] ok great, thanks [13:10] ill give it a try [13:11] ok, you can install tne hte ntfs-3g package for the driver and the ntfs-config package to configure your system to use it === hasree is now known as gringgo [13:11] (you have to run ntfs-config and you can check which driver to use i believe) [13:12] ok [13:12] Now i have a question: about KDE4 RC2 build for hardy. Launchpad hasn't build the amd64 version yet and I see some errors in the buildlog for it because of dependancy problems. Does anyone know when the amd64 version will be succesfully build?

As a server you could use a firewall etc [13:16] my window has virus [13:16] but i can't get in to fix it [13:16] so [13:16] i have several problems with my graphic settings, fist i can´t start "nvidia-settings" [13:16] ty maarten [13:16] i have to use Kubuntu to fix it outside [13:16] (nvidia-settings:5454): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [13:17] onishidato: If your windows is really infected i would try to save my files with kubuntu (scan them with clamav to be sure they don't have any viruses) and back them up. next reinstall your windows ;) [13:18] still cant get frostwire to work grrrrrrrrrrrrrr [13:18] maarten: yeah [13:18] maarten: i'm trying to do that, thanks :) [13:19] !clamav [13:19] Sorry, I don't know anything about clamav - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:19] @all: can somebody help me, wann start nvidia setting but it wont > (nvidia-settings:5454): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: [13:19] ardchoille: so? :) [13:20] ardchoille: I asked if it will be available for 7.10 [13:20] also nvidia-glx-enable seems to work but theres no change in the xorg.conf then [13:20] ruxpin: 7.10 was released back in October [13:20] ardchoille: and is updated frequently, no?

But I have seen the rc updates available in the repos [13:21] ardchoille: yeah, that's what the kubuntu web site says .. I just wonder if it'll be officially supported [13:21] mib: Try this in a terminal: kdesu nvidia-settings [13:22] ruxpin: I'm not sure [13:23] adchoille: ok that works thx, but what is about the nvidia-glx-config enable > what does it do? [13:23] or what should it do [13:23] mib: I'm not sure what that command does exactly [13:24] ardchoille: k [13:25] mib: it should switch the driver from nv to nvidia in your xorg.conf [13:27] anyone know how to get kubuntu to work [13:27] sorry [13:27] anyone know how to get *frostwire* to work [13:27] I ran the "tail -f /var/log/syslog" command just to see what it got me .. and I have like a TON of ips hitting my machine .. with nothing running .. any idea ? [13:28] dreamcoder, should just work [13:28] maarten: k thanks, i read that it should add several option for section modules in xorg.conf but it didn´t do anything, so the nvidia setting was already set manually, nevermind, i do my setting with the nvidia-setting [13:28] whats the problem [13:28] it shows in the taskbar then just closes [13:28] i changed which java i was using but to no avail [13:29] gutsy> [13:29] *gutsy?

[13:42] i want to see the icon changed to red when intrusion occurs. and i can see the blocked ip port in "events" [13:42] Hello, How can I add all packages of Debian Etch DVD to Kubuntu Software Sources? [13:44] crush_groove: ? [13:44] mohammad: it's not adviced for... But some packages will install fine. [13:45] mohammad: why would you want to? [13:46] Lynoure: Why? Kubuntu is debian-based and I think Debian packages should work properly in kubuntu, should they? [13:47] bazhang: I have 3 DVD of debian and they have many packages, so I want to add them to my resources [13:47] mohammad: what packages? [13:47] mohammad: Yes, kubuntu is debian-based, but there have been many modifications.. and I have seen people mess their systems by mixing distro packages. [13:47] mohammad: debian-based and debian are two slightly different things. The versions of software differ, and you might end up with a mess of debian and kubuntu that no-one wants to help you with [13:48] If you are capable of helping yourself, and find the risk of breakage worth it - or just interesting - go for it. [13:50] bazhang: ardchoille: Lynoure: u mean there are special packages (for example Eclipse) for Debian and Kubuntu separately? [13:50] mohammad: yes, this is why there are debian repos and ubuntu repos. [13:51] mohammad: you can search at packages.ubuntu.com; you can also add a firefox plugin to search from your google search window [13:52] mohammad: alternately, you can open up konsole and type apt-cache search packagename and see if it is in there [13:52] bazhang: ardchoille: Oops, I have downloaded 4 un-useful DVDs? :(( [13:52] mohammad: Useful if you plan to run debian :) [13:52] mohammad: only if you don't want to run debia [13:52] n [13:53] ardchoille, is part of the trick to successfully getting a larger package selection to make yourself aware of alternate repositorys ? or is thier a main base that will load to your apt-get and thats it ..? [13:54] bazhang: ardchoille: Unfotunatelly I dont remeber who told me to download these DVDs to add to Kubuntu repos, so I cant kill him :D [13:55] crush_groove: I always stick with the official repositories and add medibuntu. In doing this I have found that everything I need is in the repos. It does little good to add millions of repos if the packages are able to break things. [13:56] nodz ., thats what I have . ty [13:56] crush_groove: If you're running Gutsy, then all of the good repos shold be enabled by default. [13:56] bazhang: ardchoille: thx [13:56] yessir [13:56] yw [13:56] mohammad: no worries :} [14:00] I've got a machine that has a network connection that at random times stalls for a random length of time [14:01] I can start a ping and let it run and after X amount of time it pauses and then happily continues.. but in the time that it's pausing the machine is completely unavailable on the network [14:05] rian: you can stop the ping; control c should do it [14:06] well yes, but that's not the problem [14:07] sudo update && upgrade? <<< is that right [14:07] sudo apt-get update && upgrade [14:07] bazhang: my network stalls, the ping is just a way of showing it [14:07] crush_groove: [14:07] ?

I meant I don't often need to switch or pipe [14:12] Im over here hittin enter again and again [14:12] hahahahaha [14:12] duh [14:12] I wish I could figure out whats wrong with my other machine >_< this network stall thing is really annoying === sara is now known as Teixen [14:14] is there a log file created by aptitude ? [14:16] Do any of you good people know if it is possible to pick up what comes through S-Video or the Composite connectors in a TV tuner card in Kaffeine? [14:16] i aint starting a row but i only want one OS so does anyone know of a way to use firmware toolbox 4.6 on kubuntu? if any one knows what that is [14:17] neville: I'd say it's possible if the tv card is properly installed it should show up as an input device, or no? [14:18] dreamcoder: no idea, never heard of it :) [14:18] xbox 360 firmware tool [14:18] it require .net framework to run [14:19] It's detected fine by Kaffeine, and as the correct hardware === LjL-Temp is now known as LjL [14:19] dreamcoder: well, it might.. depending on which part of the .NET code it needs [14:19] neville: but it's not showing output (or input, I guess) [14:19] But no options to change input [14:20] Yeah, pretty much [14:21] neville: have you tried other apps? XawTV maybe? Just to test [14:21] It also fails to find any television channels, which I've been attributing to a piddly antennae [14:21] Nope, thanks for the idea though === sara is now known as Teixen [14:22] give XawTV a shot to see if you can capture the input there.. if not I'd probably look at the driver [14:22] fdg [14:23] Okay, thanks for the info [14:23] hey [14:23] hello Dizzm [14:24] Im getting a random error in amarok "/lib/security/pam_securetty.sorok/" what is this [14:24] nm dont answer that .. imma try to find it [14:25] im trying to set up a CS: S dedicated server, except for the desktop enviroment (KDE/Gnome) any difference on preformance ??

[14:27] is there a setting to delay the input of keystrokes. cause this morning i can't type on my laptop i feel asleep with it on the bed and pressed some keys too much... I know it't a setting since after a reboot p untill login the keyboard function correctly [14:27] I'm good, thanks :) [14:27] Hi all [14:27] I3ooI3oo: try looking for 'slow keys' in keyboard settings [14:27] I am playing with the KDE4-RC2 install [14:28] however, whenever I try to launch a KDE4 session, it gives me an error about having to setgid, then sends me back to kdm [14:28] any one help me for compiz [14:28] If i hold the keys down for 2 sec it types. [14:28] no idea BrianV, I'd guess there are actually support rooms for KDE4 [14:29] I can't find slow keys in keyboard settings [14:29] I3ooI3oo: are you using KDE? [14:29] yes [14:29] rian: could you direct me to a kde4 support room? [14:29] I3ooI3oo: lookin', I had this problem a while ago [14:29] BrianV: I can google it for you :) [14:29] I can google it myself [14:29] however, a brief search brought up no hits [14:30] I3ooI3oo: I was wrong, it's in regional & accessibility >> keyboard filters [14:30] BrianV: hm [14:31] ok i think i have it [14:31] de #kde4-devel, BrianV [14:31] de = try [14:31] no guarantees.. they might not be into giving support [14:31] thanks rian I found it while googleing slow keys [14:31] i knew it had to be something [14:31] thanks again [14:31] I3ooI3oo: np [14:32] rian: lol. I was told to leave there and ask here [14:32] I'll try #kde [14:32] BrianV: haha [14:32] BrianV: good idea, sorry :) [14:32] although my issues I think may have something to do with kubuntu [14:32] possibly === sara is now known as Teixen [14:33] I am getting "/lib/security/pam_securetty.sorok " error from amarok ..what is this ? [14:33] googled it and got nada [14:34] crush_groove: is it spelled like that? [14:34] crush_groove: it looks like a typoed "pam_security.sock" [14:34] HI everybody [14:35] hello ubuntu [14:35] rian yes [14:35] Ill google other way ? [14:35] crush_groove: what's the error say? [14:35] exactly that rian [14:36] I cp-ed [14:36] wait [14:36] nothing else? just that? [14:36] yea [14:36] 1 sec [14:36] :) [14:37] the collection scanner was unable to process these files :/lib/security/pam_securetty.sorok/ [14:37] http://youtube.com/watch?v=RoLV_IkcIQk [14:38] that was just a pain in the arse, try unlocking a PC with slow keys active 10 digit password with upper/lowers/and symbols [14:39] I3ooI3oo: I purchased a new keyboard because I thought my keyboard was busted [14:39] damn [14:39] crush_groove: amarok is indexing your computer and probably didn't have access to that file, I'd uncheck the /lib folder in the preferences for collection scanning [14:40] I3ooI3oo: then after hooking it up that one had the same problem.. I hit the keyboard with two hands flat and appearantly pressed shift for about 8 seconds or so and had a 'slow keys setting' window popup [14:42] nodz [14:43] is "snort" a good tool for the single user that doesnt have any other boxes ? [14:44] I ran a game that changed my resolution and the game crashed [14:44] so now I'm stuck in 600x480 [14:44] how can I change the resolution? :) [14:44] JohnFlux: ctr+alt+backspace [14:44] beware, you're logging in again [14:44] without killing X :-D [14:44] hehe [14:45] chuckles [14:45] try the settings? [14:46] I was thinking I should be able to do it with xrandr [14:46] but I can't seem to get it to work [14:46] xrandr -s 0 does nothing [14:46] my own issue just got even cooler.. I just tried a sdl live cd and then my network connection is fine, but when I boot back into kubuntu it starts stalling and pausing again, hrm [14:48] JohnFlux: try using -o instead of -s? [14:48] rian: still nothing hmm [14:49] doing, say, xrandr -s 1280x1024 just does nothing [14:49] i'm stuck in 640x480 strange [14:50] LjL is giving people an early christmas it seems, heh [14:50] JohnFlux: I'd say you're stuck booting X or the machine as a whole [14:50] yeah i think so too === emilsedgh_ is now known as emilsedgh [14:57] how could I shedule a file system check for my next system load? [14:58] hi [14:59] i've got a problem: when I want wo manage my package lists in adept, the background color of this dialog is black and the buttons are not labeled or the color is equal to the button color. how could I fix this problem? [14:59] zvezdichko: no idea, sorry [15:00] matflasch: is this only in adept? [15:00] I've got this problem in pokerth6 too, this is a sdl app [15:01] but other dialogs are fine/ [15:01] yes, rest is very fine [15:02] hm, right click the titlebar of adept [15:02] maybe check the theme in "configure window behaviour.." [15:05] I installed last night, the problem was from the beginning, tried to fix it, but no chance... theme is plastik (default) [15:05] other themes have this problem too === schiste_ is now known as schiste [15:11] this is a screenshot: http://matflasch.sytes.net/sshot.png [15:12] everything works fine, but the "source dialog" is black [15:12] sorry, back.. was someone at the door [15:12] :) [15:14] I have no idea.. it's really weird because the other dialogs do get drawn properly [15:14] Software Sources is Qt4 [15:14] so it's different from other dialogs [15:14] adept isn't writen in qt4 as a whole? [15:14] no [15:15] adept is a plain KDE application [15:15] hi [15:15] i need help [15:15] dansko: whats up? [15:15] when i try to login as root it says verification error, but when i edit system settings in my own account its no problem i use same password [15:15] could not understand, why only this dialog and the pokerth app are like this [15:16] i dont get it really [15:16] LjL: then have him reinstall qt4 maybe? [15:16] rian, doubt that will do anything [15:16] does qt4 use themes? [15:17] dansko: where and how are you trying to login as root? [15:17] rian, it certainly can, but i think it should just use the default style in a normal Gutsy installation [15:17] i try to login as root [15:17] but it doesnt work [15:17] and when i use su [15:17] perhaps it's something in ~/.qt, but i'm not sure where to look [15:17] it says verification error [15:17] !root > dansko (dansko, see the private message from Ubotu) [15:18] tyvm [15:18] is there a qt4 room maybe? [15:18] so there actually is no root? [15:18] dansko: the root account is locked. use sudo, it works fine. [15:19] sudo is the same as root but then only from another account huh? ok i will try that, thanks alot :) [15:19] rian, maybe, but this is certainly an ubuntu specific problem, this is the correct channel really... [15:19] what's the command line command to reconfigure postfix? dpkg-configure ... [15:19] something like that? [15:19] i already like kubuntu better than suse now :D [15:19] sudo dpkg-reconfigure postfix [15:20] cool, thank LjL [15:20] has anyone gotten the nvidia tv out working with the glx repo drivers here?

[15:45] wwhy would it drop [15:45] i would assume different computer then the one you are on [15:45] yes [15:45] i didnt do anything [15:45] Jyzygzel-, cuz the adept upgrader sucks [15:46] i mean initially i don't plan to have that much stock but its good to get something into place now [15:46] yum ftw [15:46] im putting the business plan together for a new business and i want to include all this into my research [15:47] and now i bet when i ctrl -c [15:47] kmymoney is a financial [15:47] It operates similar [15:47] to MS-Money and Quicken, [15:47] it removes everything [15:47] and starts over [15:47] opps sorry [15:48] * genii puts on a new pot of coffee [15:48] i have used kmymoney and gnucash [15:48] SatManUK, I've heard od a stock control app used in some large markets called ELVIS , (don't ask what acronym stands for :) [15:49] jesus christ its stupid [15:49] I'm back :) [15:49] i had to start it all over again [15:49] but the elvis i see here is just a text editor of some kind [15:50] I just move my home-dir and created a new one, now I have to reconfigure my apps, but everything works fine now. the error could be in .kde/* or .qt/* or something, couldn't locate it exactly [15:51] i found squirrel pos [15:51] but its for restraunts [15:51] dunno if it could be adapted or not [15:52] SatManUK, the apps on google-linux all cost money [15:52] yeah [15:53] im looking on sourceforge atm [15:53] is it hard to convert a rpm to deb?

[15:57] i couldn't get kdm/kde4 to even load so.. [15:57] i had to remove it - it broke package management [15:59] so tMono the .net application.. i am just wondering wether i would be able to run a application in wine and make wine use that program [15:59] isn't NTFS-3G safe?

It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.

[16:46] amed you need help in spanish? [16:46] trappist: Thanx, but synaptic is requesting root password [16:46] waylandbill, whats runlevel 3 ? no background ? [16:46] snarkster: how are you running it? you should be giving it your user password [16:46] bazhang: amed has left [16:46] console only [16:46] ty [16:47] snarkster: synaptic is probably asking for the sudo password. [16:47] trappist: by clicking the synaptic icon in the new kde4 menu [16:47] msemtd: thanks--I have joins and leaves blocked :} [16:47] boungour [16:47] md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.g [16:47] what does this mean? [16:47] snarkster: oh, I've heard that the kde4 packages have an issue with root/sudo like that. [16:47] snarkster, kde 4 is still unstable ? [16:47] ibilic: bad package in the repo, probably [16:47] snarkster: if you must know though... sudo passwd will assign a root password. [16:48] crush[A]: it's not even released yet! [16:48] hello9 === [1]VoteForPedro is now known as VoteForPedro === bsandert is now known as bsander [16:48] trappist, snarkster, has it .. [16:48] the sudo password? [16:48] trappist: I just wanted to install flashplugin-nonfree [16:48] waylandbill: ? [16:48] sudo [16:48] crush[A]: it's available, just not released. it's basically unstable by definition. [16:49] anyone know the right way to fix a dist-upgrade that's hung? [16:49] hmm runs fine on my laptop [16:49] how do I reinstall a package? [16:49] but understand things will be changing [16:49] WaltzingAlong: the user password to give to sudo. I mean not the root password. [16:49] msemtd: hung how? [16:49] msemtd: yes. konsole. sudo aptitude -f install; sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude dist-upgrade [16:49] ibilic: sudo apt-get install --reinstall packagename [16:50] nice [16:50] WaltzingAlong: E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/) [16:50] !aptfix | msemtd [16:50] msemtd: 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 » [16:50] ive been trying to get ndiswrapper on this thing since I installed kde4 rc2 [16:51] what is that snarkster ? [16:51] ndiswrapper allows you to use windows NIC drivers for hardware without linux support [16:52] why is that important snarkster if you have a connection ? [16:52] im on a wire right now.. I want wifi [16:52] check out my desktop guys :) http://www.picoodle.com/view.php?img=/5/12/13/f_mydesktopm_81765b4.png&srv=img33 [16:52] << sits and reads to learn so my questions are random .. [16:53] ahh gotcha [16:54] WaltzingAlong: hmm, it seems that each time I kill one of the processes locking the database, another takes its place. Maybe that's kicked off the upgrade again [16:55] what does it mean when it says in Adept manager under Requested in red letters: "BREAK (install)"? [16:55] msemtd: is there still the python script running? if so, then yes it would be doing exactly as you describe [16:55] ibilic: means that something would be installed but a prereq does not exist for it [16:56] WaltzingAlong: yup - it's using 0% cpu so I guess the front-end death hung its IO [16:56] ibilic: it means that some dependencies for the install can't be met. You'll risk "breaking" your system if you continue to perform the installation [16:56] WaltzingAlong: shall kill the python! [16:56] that's worst case, but still.. you'll at least break one or more apps [16:57] ibilic: breaking may be a bit of a stretch - depending on the package - more or less that the package will be installed but it or others may not work as expected [16:57] ibilic: as WaltzingAlong said.. and most likely an unsupported repository is causing it. [16:57] if at all [16:58] i am just trying to install swf-player after the installation of flashplugin-nonfree failed [16:58] the icon of firestarter turns red when an unauthorised access try is made and if it is visible in the tray always. i can observe that. and any way. why does it disappears. how can i make sure it doest ? [16:59] would it be a good idea for me to reconfigure my packages using "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a"? [16:59] ibilic, that may ask a lot of questions.. but shouldent hurt anything. [16:59] Unles of course you answer wrong. :) [16:59] ibilic: but still will not take care of the 'broken' you see in adept [16:59] i've done it yesterday when Adept crashed [16:59] right [16:59] so how do I get rid of the broken thing? [17:00] how do I at least diagnose the problem? [17:00] whats broken? [17:00] it shows up when I try to install swf-player [17:00] * Dr_willis scrolls up.. Wishes there were irc clients that could color code base on who said what. :) [17:01] I was more successful whn went from dapper to edgy by changing the repos to edgy sources then doing the: apt-get upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade [17:01] Flash has had issues for the l;ast few days due to some issue.. Not sure what the deal is. I thought it had been fixed by now. [17:01] adobe has a new version out iirc [17:01] Dr_willis: nothing, ibilic just asked what adept meant with big read broken [17:02] bazhang, yea. and somehting with the md5sum got messed up. I dident pay much attention to it all. :) [17:02] sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a - can take a lot of time. :() [17:02] !cab [17:02] Sorry, I don't know anything about cab - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [17:02] how to extract .cab files?

Version 1.2-2 (gutsy), package size 52 kB, installed size 184 kB [17:04] doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a :( [17:04] ro [17:04] I do recall some of the pages at the !apt factoid having some common problem/fix's for when your packaing system gets confused [17:04] !apt [17:04] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [17:04] !aptfix [17:04] 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 » [17:05] how is someone to know thats what you do to fix apt when it breaks? [17:06] going for a smoke [17:06] snarkster, see above [17:06] snarkster: no idea! mibbee we just gotta trust the bot! [17:06] well yah, but new people will not know what to do.. [17:06] msemtd, read the !aptfix above [17:06] incidentally, when I try to trash something, my trash button has "_: Verb" at the beginning... it's annoying... anyone else? [17:07] sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a [17:07] fix's a lot of the probklems [17:07] thanks for that cabextract worked like a charm Dr_willis [17:08] can any one help me? [17:08] Hi, has anyone here used Mathematica on Kubuntu Gusty? I'm having some weird display problem where the window becomes garbled if I scroll. Anyone had this? [17:08] !ask | ubuntu_ [17:08] ubuntu_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) [17:09] how do i type special characters using their unicode values? ALT+ doesn't work for me :( [17:09] when you boot my computer and select linux it says cannot mount selected partition [17:09] how can i fix that problem [17:10] ubuntu_, this is on a new install? [17:10] yes its new [17:10] and when i select windows it run but linux doesnt [17:10] it says cannot mount selected partition [17:11] SO you get the grub menu, select linux. it boots a little bit then says that eh? [17:11] night all [17:11] ye [17:11] correct [17:11] night satmanuk [17:11] error comes up cannot mount selected partition [17:11] Sounds like the installer may of gotten confused. what partition is it not being able to mount? [17:11] error number ubuntu? [17:12] I suspect this problem may be related to the problem with the X Composite Extension, as mentioned here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mathematica#head-f257f6630497b04601075cc9a92b88a26e60e21b [17:12] 27 erorr [17:12] is there a way to make sure that a specific app is running all the time. and making it run when its not running in the sys tray? [17:12] But the work around they mentioned (which has worked for me in the past on other Ubuntu systems) doesn't seem to be working here. [17:12] I'm actually running mathematica on a remote machine in this case, though, and forwarding if over ssh. [17:13] so what should i actually do? [17:13] Voyage_: Can you clarify the second part? [17:14] grub error ubuntu [17:14] unperson i want it to be keep runing in sys tray. [17:14] firestarter Voyage_? [17:14] so theres no way of fixing it in the command box [17:14] i would just have to reinstall linux again? [17:14] bazhang - check this. its a bug. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firestarter/+bug/174249 [17:15] bazhang yes [17:15] Well, if no one has any idea about that specific error, can anyone tell me the correct way to turn off the composite extention? [17:15] ok, the !aptfix info hasn't fixed things - I have thousands of packages held back [17:16] msemtd: after aptfix, sudo aptitude -f install && sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade in konsole [17:16] ubuntu you get error 27 when trying to mount a partition? [17:16] ye [17:16] error 27 [17:16] it says annot mount selected partition [17:16] ubuntu have you tried to repair the partition? [17:16] but i see windows and linux on the slection menu to run which operating system [17:17] Voyage_: Well, if you just want something to restart if it crashes, you could just have a cron job that checks periodically to see if it's running and, if not, restarts it. [17:17] ubuntu_: so what changed that you now see this? [17:17] ubuntu fsck -y /dev [17:17] were do i type that [17:17] command box? [17:17] unperson yes. how to do it [17:17] Voyage_: Actually, assuming the process actually exits, you could presumably start it with a script that basically restarts the process any time it exits (i.e. in a never-ending loop). [17:18] ubuntu there are different words for different things, in linux we have konsole, or terminals not command box [17:18] unperson yes. how to do it? [17:18] hey where was the ATI help for ubuntu? [17:18] how to install ATI card [17:18] for firestarter, it's a waste of cycles--it's just a front end for iptables [17:18] WaltzingAlong: uuh! fingers crossed some grief with lvm2 but I don't use it AFAIK [17:18] okay so how do i know what partition name do i have? [17:19] ubuntu_: if you can get to a konsole or command line interface then yes. being that the partition isnt mounted youll have no issues [17:19] Voyage_: Well, the shell script is probably the more elegent option. [17:19] can u tell me what to type cause its my first time [17:19] so firestrater IS NOT an acceptable replacement for IPtables ? === apol|work is now known as apol [17:19] ubuntu_: to find the right partition use fdisk -l that will list all your partitions [17:19] Voyage_: My shell scripting is a little rusty. Give me a minute. [17:19] okay [17:19] i see a list [17:19] (Or someone else is welcome to give it a shot) [17:19] now? [17:19] crush[A]: just a way to access iptables, not a replacement [17:20] k [17:20] unperson: this is for firestarter; Voyage_ has it confused with norton/symantec/pc-cillin etc [17:20] ubuntu_: since Im assumin you are dual booting with windblows choose the ext3 partiton which should be somehting like sda<#> which partitons is ext3 [17:21] Usage: fdisk [-l] [-b SSZ] [-u] device [17:21] E.g.: fdisk /dev/hda (for the first IDE disk) [17:21] or: fdisk /dev/sdc (for the third SCSI disk) [17:21] or: fdisk /dev/eda (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive) [17:21] or: fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0 or: fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0 (for RAID devices) [17:21] bazhang its a bug.................... [17:21] thats what i see [17:21] when i type f disk [17:21] bazhang and even its not. it should stay in systray. even if iptables is running. [17:22] ubuntu_ you should type fdisk -l thats an L not a 1 [17:22] ubuntu_: in kubuntus case the command will be sudo fdisk-l [17:22] perhaps Voyage_, but makes no difference what so ever [17:23] copy that and paste it in the command line interface [17:23] use shift insert to paste in the CLI [17:23] I think I am having a config tug of war issue between "nvidia-settings" and the default KDE application. I am running dual monitors. Primary is 1440x900. Secondary is 1680x1050. I am running two x-servers. When I am at KDM the resolution is fine. When I log in, my secondary monitor goes to 640x480. I have to reset the resolution to 1680x1050 with "nvidia-settings" to get the resolution correct. Any idea on where to look would be appreciated.

[20:20] Must [20:21] Dominate [20:21] But you can't have everything, I suppose. [20:21] more [20:21] stuph! [20:21] !enter | smcintyre [20:21] I'm surprised that there isn't a FOSS Flash creater [20:21] hello guys... i have some issues with my hard drive, i believe it has some bad sectors... is it safe to start my computer with the damn small linux live cd and mount the harddrive and then do e2fsck -c /dev/hda1 [20:21] actually [20:21] SonicChao: They are making one [20:21] midgetnat: yes and run badblocks [20:21] hi [20:21] with which options? [20:21] smcintyre, really? This interests me, a lot. Since I have a windows partition specifically for flash [20:21] can you tell me what it's called? [20:21] badblocks /dev/hda1 [20:22] just that? [20:22] i am a girl [20:22] hi all. [20:23] smcintyre: ok so just to get it.. hehe.. first i start with the dsl live cd, then i mount the hda1 then i do e2fsck -c /dev/hda1 and then badblocks /dev/hda1 right? [20:23] SonicChao: Gnash is one and Gnu is working on a new one I hear [20:23] midgetnat: yes [20:23] ok thank you smcintyre [20:23] :) [20:23] i have a problem.. i cant start my kubuntu, it comes to login, and i write my password, so it goes black like its gonna login, but insted it just comes back to login screen again.. I cant log in..Help please.-.. [20:23] smcintyre, A free _player_ [20:24] not a _creator_ [20:24] in reference to gnash [20:24] SonicChao: We need an opensource Flash replacement [20:24] Yes. [20:24] lovre: You may need to check your error logs [20:25] smcintyre, Didn't you say they were making one? -.- [20:25] where do i find those logs? [20:25] smcintyre [20:25] SonicChao: No idea what it's called [20:26] smcintyre, ;; [20:26] lovre: ~/.xsession-errors and /var/log/X11/ [20:26] smcintyre: check the first one first [20:26] smcintyre: it says it was not possible to run e2fsck asked me to upgrade it because it didnt recognize my filesystem (ext3) but i started running sudo badblocks /dev/hda1 is that ok it wont screw up my system right? [20:26] midgetnat: fsck /dev/hda1 will choose the right one [20:26] ok, for those who are using the konqueror browser and are having probs with flash on sites like youtube , make sure you have konqueror-nsplugins installed ..this might work. [20:26] smcintyre: shit can i cancel badblocks then? [20:27] !ohmy | nid [20:27] nid: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [20:27] smcintyre: i dont see either of thoose...? [20:27] Sound = dead on my laptop, running gutsy. Can somebody help me?

[20:27] someone could help me with wine-doors? [20:27] smcintyre, http://sourceforge.net/projects/qflash/ <<< does this look familiar? [20:27] so smcintyre: can i cancel that? [20:27] alex__: Have you looked in #winehq [20:27] midgetnat: By all means [20:27] !info qflash [20:27] Package qflash does not exist in gutsy [20:28] !sound | lascar [20:28] lascar: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 [20:28] smcintyre: i found it. but it is empty [20:28] no :-) [20:28] lovre: ah right then go to /var/log/X11 [20:28] just wine-doors ;) [20:28] why is kubuntu behind ubuntu [20:28] !nsplugins [20:28] Sorry, I don't know anything about nsplugins - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:28] so smcintyre: it says fsck has unsupported features and cannot scan ext3 [20:28] smcintyre, actually, it looks quite nice [20:28] smcintyre: there is no such directory in /var/log/x11 [20:28] I think I'm going to try it [20:29] !konqueror-nsplugins [20:29] really???? [20:29] smcintyre: there is /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?? [20:29] midgetnat: need a newer CD then [20:29] :( ok [20:29] lovre: Oh right sorry I was thinking /etc/X11 [20:29] Whoops [20:30] skyfalcon866: behind? === amber_ is now known as angel [20:30] smcintyre: ok, what is the file name in /etc/x11? [20:30] IDENTIFY [20:30] lovre: No no the log file you just said is right [20:30] i see [20:30] angel: Try a different tab [20:31] angel like /msg nickserv help [20:31] what do you meen [20:31] I installed compiz and the configuration manager.. how do I get it to come on?? [20:31] smcintyre: would you mind looking at it? [20:31] lovre: You are looking for lines that start with EE [20:31] lovre: you are on the command line? [20:31] grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log will work [20:31] smcintyre: no, im currently on windows, so im using an text editor [20:32] I like my nickname [20:32] lovre: and browsing the linux drive? [20:32] in features no compiz by defalt migration wizard [20:32] smcintyre: yes [20:32] whenever i try to convert music with SoundConverter, i get this error after about 3 songs. "could not open resource for writing" its a gstreamer error...any ideas? [20:33] skyfalcon866: Ah ;) there are many answers but there are things that Ubuntu lags behind Kubuntu as well [20:33] skyfalcon866: It's a matter of perception and marketing [20:33] who likes linux [20:33] well is compiz a gnome thing [20:33] skyfalcon866: But as it's offtopic #kubuntu-offtopic or if you want to lend a helping hand #kubuntu-devel [20:33] Whenever I go to udpate my Kubuntu using the Adept Updater i get this error: "There was an error committing changes. Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages." How do I fix this? [20:34] skyfalcon866: No it's a window manager thing it happened to start off with a gnome centric window manager [20:34] it is gnome, but it spose to work with kde as well [20:34] it works with kde [20:34] but really it shouldn't matter and by the end it probably won't [20:34] causes some minor problems tho.. [20:34] smcintyre: there are no lines beginning with EE tbh...? [20:34] hi derEddie [20:34] i cant stand gnome. Compiz was disabling my kde settings [20:34] lovre: Ah Umm [20:35] skyfalcon866: you should play with KDE4 :) [20:35] lovre: did it work before? [20:35] is KDE4 stable enough right now? [20:36] NDPTAL85, do you have synaptic ..if so sometimes you can fix broken pkgs with it. [20:36] are there any girls on here please reply [20:36] BluesKaj: Yeah but I don't even know what packages are broken to begin with. [20:36] skyfalcon866: Ahhhm it's close :) [20:36] synpatic will detect them [20:36] smcintyre: it worked, but all of a sudden it just restarted X. It happened while i was doing an update with adept managert [20:36] lovre: oh great [20:36] lovre: can You mention this in #kubuntu-devel [20:37] im gonna try it now [20:37] smcintyre: why [20:37] cya everyone [20:37] * smcintyre goes to see about a smoking power supply [20:37] lovre: Well yeah I guess it may be just a passing issue [20:38] can You stop kdm and startx ? [20:38] whenever i try to convert music with SoundConverter, i get this error after about 3 songs. "could not open resource for writing" its a gstreamer error...any ideas? [20:38] smcintyre: i will restart, maybe it will work now [20:38] lovre: May not but do you know how to get to the command line ? [20:38] ugh [20:38] NDPTAL85, open synaptic /edit/fix broken pkgs/apply [20:39] smcintyre: alt+ctrl+f1? [20:39] BluesKaj: Thanks will do. [20:39] lovre: right and you know how to stop KDM? [20:39] anyone else getting sig 11 from 'nspluginviewer' ? [20:39] smcintyre: how? [20:39] sudo /etc/init.d/kdm stop [20:39] then when that's done just type startx [20:40] I want to see if it's a KDM problem [20:40] if startx doesn't work then type X [20:40] lovre: so to break down [20:40] stop KDM and startx to start a session [20:40] if it works then KDM is the problem [20:40] if it doesn't work then type X [20:41] if that works then KDE is the problem [20:41] smcintyre: ok, thank you, i will restart now. [20:41] cya in a min [20:41] if X doesn't work then X is broken [20:41] My title bar is sooo transparant i can barely see it how do i make it less transparanet again? === alex__ is now known as Selfarian [20:41] Money on KDM! [20:42] i love cats [20:42] where can I find the md5 for http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/cds/kubuntu-kde4-rc2.iso ? [20:43] because my internet sucks and all my big downloads gets corrupted === michel_ is now known as michel_csn [20:43] waag === michel_csn is now known as michel_ [20:44] ScarFreewill: http://kubuntu.org/~jriddell/cds/kubuntu-kde4-rc2.iso.md5 [20:44] anyone knows if there is wine-doors for kde also? [20:44] hehe thanks trappist [20:46] is there a better file browser than Dolphin? i find it hard to nivigate around Dolphin, i want something like Windows Eplorer, where you can select folders on one side and view them on another. in dolphin you cant do that [20:46] Krusader [20:46] i like konqueror [20:47] but lately it's been giving me crash errors [20:47] which is better for file browsing though? krusader or konqueror? [20:47] I dunno you like apples or grapes better? [20:47] apples [20:47] :/ [20:47] hello Flare183 [20:48] angel:>hey [20:48] sorry.. my point being.. to try them both out.. though krusader has more of a win.explorer look to it. [20:48] pastryness: Have you tried the split view in Dolphin? [20:48] i like dolphin [20:49] i prefer it as a file manager to konquerer [20:49] what is dolphin [20:49] yes, t1n0m3n, however doing that, when you select a folder on one side, it doesnt automaticall show the contents on the other sidfe [20:49] its a file manager for kde [20:49] pastryness: ahh, k [20:49] Oops I didn't have synaptic installed and can't install it now [20:49] hi [20:49] it works now [20:49] smcintyre: thanks for your time [20:50] lovre: great :) [20:50] !dolphin | angel [20:50] wooooh 91cf0f6a99cf299a8302ce60ea39f8fc its right, I'll write it and check it out thanks, gday all [20:50] angel: 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. [20:50] Anyone could help me, getting my (windows) game running? :( [20:50] hello there, I have some codecs installed, which are broken and there for I can't watch .avi movies... [20:50] another question, how do i uninstall stuff? I have some games i installed using their scripts, but how do i uninstall them now? [20:50] were they installed as .deb's? [20:50] can someine guide how can I check what crap do I allready have installed and needs to be removed and what do I need to install so .avi movies will work? [20:51] ziggy_: no [20:51] ziggy_: well, some [20:51] you made the files yourself? [20:51] ziggy_: no, downloaded. I think it was a .run file or something like that [20:51] the debs should be easy to removes, for the hand installed stuff youll have to remember where you installed the files [20:51] .run? [20:52] ziggy_: i know where i installed it. So do i just delete the folder or what? [20:52] ziggy_: and how do i remove deb files [20:52] first make sure you cant use adept or synaptic or whatever your package manager is to remove it [20:52] if they cant see it, then basically yes [20:52] i see [20:52] ziggy_: thanx [20:53] you might leave some orphans behind though if you dont get everything...which normally shouldnt be a problem [20:53] theres way to get rid of orphans laqter [20:54] ziggy_: what is the difference between "Request removal" and "Request Purge" in Adept? [20:54] lovre: purge deletes config [20:54] yes [20:54] settins files [20:54] * Selfarian get's crazy [20:54] so if you ever reinstall it it will rememeber your settings [20:54] i just downloaded a new theme it's in a tar file, what do i have to do to load it? [20:54] so if i really want to get rid of something i use purge? [20:55] i dno [20:55] you have to open it with with whatever your window manager is [20:55] probably kwin [20:55] yes lov, use purge if youre sure youll never need to reinstall those programs [20:56] ziggy_: thanks man [20:56] no prob [20:56] how can i jump to line 21 in vi? [20:56] i have kubuntu [20:57] hey guys, i wanted to just throw this in here [20:57] i found that the latest kubuntu install was almost rubbish (7.10) [20:57] so what i did [20:57] was installed ubuntu command line system [20:57] and then apt-get install kubuntu-desktop [20:57] this was a nice install with no bugs that i can see [20:58] eh, when is KDE 4.0 coming out? [20:58] December some time [20:58] is it worth upgrading to kde 4? [20:58] does anyone have a toshiba laptop m45-s169? [20:58] but i tried the liveCD [20:58] pwr mgmt issues [20:58] it is rubbish too [20:58] i have installed mdadm for my raid disks, but not kubuntu does not start proper anymore. I see no kwin/kicker and a popup in the left corner with "Could not start kstartupconfig. Check your installation." What can i do? [20:58] poly, im not sure what the difference would be between that and KDE, maybe you hand picked some extra packages or something......i switched to mandriva [20:58] where do i put my theme in? [20:58] any1 has problems with icons floating around desktop in tiny windows insted docking in kicker? [20:58] well the kubuntu iso disk is basically rubbish ziggy_ [20:59] i had errors in the package manager as well as in kopete [20:59] i played with the kde4 rc1 opensuse livecd, i was very underwhelmed....judging on that preview id wait until 4.1 to seriously play with it [20:59] so i did a clean install to just a command line system (i didnt want GNOME) [20:59] and then installed the kde-desktop [20:59] they say the projects are the same, but this opinion, i doubt [20:59] what has been happening [20:59] imo, if youre a kde fan, then ubuntus not your best option [20:59] i believe ubuntu is better maintained. [21:00] kubuntu is ubuntus ugly stepchild [21:00] u can install the ubuntu command line system [21:00] and then work from there [21:00] Kingzar: you can import the theme from system settings> colorws [21:00] *colors [21:00] yeah, but whats the point, why not just go for a distro thats built with kde in mind? [21:00] see i built my own gentoo system once, and sometimes i find it is best to start from scratch ziggy_ [21:00] polywaffle: kubuntu = ubuntu-base + kde [21:01] hey; i tried to install the kde4 via the link in the topic, and now kubuntu doesn't start at all. i tried recovery mode, and startx.. but it just errors, and returns to a prompt. any ideas on how to just restore kde3? I already removed all the kde4 packages. [21:01] jpatrick i am aware of this but it seems to not only myself but my friends that there is some disparity between the ubuntu project and the kubuntu one [21:02] poly, the only thing is, i dont always have time to build my own packages, and the repositories for gentoo dont seem to be that great in terms of variety [21:02] wasted try purging kde4 and kde3.5.7 and installing again. [21:02] cousre i was using sabayon so im not too sure about vanilla gentoo [21:02] ziggy_ kubuntu is superior to gentoo in most respects. [21:02] really??not [21:02] sabayon breaks on my system too ziggy_ [21:02] hmm i uninstalled the theme (domingo) and there is a install file [21:03] how do i install it then? [21:03] i would stick to kubuntu ziggy_ [21:03] anyone know hoe to deal with this? [21:03] galactica@kiola:~$ fdisk /media/disk [21:03] last_lba(): I don't know how to handle files with mode 40755 [21:03] You will not be able to write the partition table.

Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! [21:04] ziggy_ yes but their commercial offerings have cedega etc. which are very much users of winex which was before the fork :( [21:04] no, cannonical is for profit...not a chairty, they sell service...not that i have a problem with that [21:05] you dont have to get the commercial version, you can download the public version for free and no cedega [21:05] there is a totally free-as-in-freedom derivative of ubuntu as well [21:05] who is youger than 18 [21:05] yes hydrogen, thats new though [21:05] i'm fairly sure thats not on topic for this channel angel [21:05] !ot | angel [21:05] angel: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions.

[21:07] !broken packages [21:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about broken packages - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:08] Selfarian: that means you got it from the repo [21:08] what does that mean jpatrick, i want to install it [21:08] sigma_: ok... but it doesn't work, if i type wine-doors :( [21:08] Kingzar: that it's in the development version but not Gutsy [21:09] huhu i have kubuntu ;) [21:09] I though maybe it wont run on kubuntu? [21:09] wine in general tends to be pretty buggy.......i use it only as an absolute last resort [21:09] it seems to work about 1/3 of the time [21:10] ziggy_; if you know how to play dark age of camelot under linux without wine, i would be happy :D [21:10] the wine derivative commercial packages arent any better either [21:10] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=535705 <-- can i do this jpatrick [21:10] ? [21:10] well selfar, that depends on how powerful your computer is and if youre willing to run a virtual machine [21:11] ziggy_: i try virtualbox-ose, do you have xp with it= [21:11] ? [21:11] xp should run fine in a virtual machine [21:11] again, depending on your hardware [21:12] olivwa [21:13] can anyone confirm if this is the way to install the domino theme? [21:13] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=535705 < [21:13] Kingzar: before "make" do: ./configure --prefix=/usr [21:14] and if it fails what do i do then?

[21:31] KDE's systemsettings tool not working === bucatoamano is now known as Creative2 [21:32] ... === elcuco_ is now known as elcuco [21:32] !medibuntu [21:32] medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org [21:33] :) [21:33] hi [21:33] ok king, compiz complicates things....assuming your window manager is kwin, then go to your kde control center and go into theme manager and open it from there....if your window manager is compiz you may have to change the window manager to kwin first [21:33] could anybody who has english as mother language query me? i have a simple question [21:34] then ask it in here [21:34] could you guide me step by step ziggy [21:34] :P [21:34] can i get anyone to help me with my wireless card [21:34] ill do my best, im not running kubuntu so im working fro memmory here [21:34] is something wrong with this: "This Mailbox is shut down for privacy reasons [1]. Contact me on other ways to get my new adress." [21:35] go to your kmenu [21:35] i ask, because i dont want to blame myself :/ [21:35] go to tools, or system tools or whatver it says [21:35] oh wait, could it be emerald theme manager? [21:35] look for something that says kde control center [21:35] boom [21:35] emerald is the manager your running then [21:36] hghehe [21:36] ok, in that case the theme you chose is for s different window manager [21:36] i have a question. after following the instructions to install kde4-rc2 from here "http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php" I can't open any html sites from kmail or konversation directly. the mime type given is "text/html-kde4".. what can I do?? [21:36] first see if there isnt a premade theme like that written for emerald [21:36] is there something wrong with my message? [21:36] i need some help getting my wireless card to work [21:36] some that look like it, but their name isn't domino [21:37] hi [21:37] can i use nvidia-settings to set up my resolution? [21:37] hi serenity [21:37] you have two choices, either stop using emerald as your theme manager and use kwin...which may mean less cool compizy stuff, or use a different theme [21:38] can i not import it in emerald? [21:38] you can try, [21:38] i dont know how emerald will deal with themes desidgned for kwin though [21:38] even if it works itll probably be buggy [21:38] nope it's only looks for theme packages [21:38] i'll just use another that looks alike [21:39] thats proabbly your best option [21:39] can i use nvidia-settings to set up my resolution? [21:41] serenity: yes, sort of [21:41] serenity: i do it from kcontrol btw [21:41] heh, I always go through xorg.conf myself [21:41] many of our users are complaing about changing resolution. === neville is now known as neville__ [21:42] so i think nvidia-settings would be a nice choice for doing this [21:42] serenity: they won't be able to change the res to anything not defined in xorg.conf [21:42] ah, ok. So no solution ;) [21:43] IIRC === tyfon_ is now known as tyfon [21:43] aaah ziggy_ there's only 1 bad thing, the similar ones are tru mac clones, which means close button on the left etc. [21:43] I'm sure this has been hashed out a million times, but I'm not turning up anything with google. How do I make the standard tty control keys (control-h, control-u, and control-w) do the same thing (erase character, line, and word) in kde applications (like, say, konversation)? [21:43] well King, if you dont care about transparency, you caqn use kwin [21:44] any help with the mime type "text/html-kde4" problem? [21:45] serenity: some background on the situation may be a little more helpful, can you preset the possible resolutions in xorg.conf before they get the machines? [21:45] ill use it a day and see what comes up [21:45] too late...ugh [21:45] now for my next problem [21:45] i need some help getting my wireless card to work [21:45] dustin__: !wifi | dustin [21:46] it wont recognize it [21:46] hmmm, what happened to the bot?

There's a keyboard layout option with a bucket of different possibilities. [21:53] BluesKaj, i know it will be on the settings tab. how do i get to the settings for gstreamer?
