| Evil_ | sfears: what would happen if I didn't unmount it and shutdown? | 00:01 |
| sfears | should unmount automatically.. you will need to remount on startup | 00:01 |
| ardchoille | Evil_: file systems get unmounted during shutdown anyway | 00:02 |
| === genii_ is now known as genii | ||
| sfears | it's a good idea to unmount drives while your not using them though | 00:02 |
| sfears | mabey not a good idea to unmount.. but not a bad idea | 00:02 |
| sfears | if it loses power for some reason in the middle of doing something could corrupt some files.. should really worry about it though | 00:03 |
| sfears | shouldn't* | 00:03 |
| Jyzygzel- | why won't the sounds work in any of the KDE games | 00:03 |

| ardchoille | dany: Something like "focus follows mouse"? | 00:05 |
| dany | that you don't need to activate the window with a click.. | 00:05 |
| dany | yeah | 00:05 |
| dany | I want that! | 00:05 |
| dany | how? | 00:05 |

| NDPTAL85 | Can you actually install from the Kbuntu KDE 4 LiveCD? | 00:07 |
| sfears | can you install kubuntu from the kubuntu live cd?? is that your question? if so the answer is yes | 00:08 |
| Jyzygzel- | why can't i hear any sounds?? | 00:09 |
| NDPTAL85 | Yeah thats my question but this isn't the regular Kubuntu live cd. Its the one with KDE 4 on it | 00:09 |
| NDPTAL85 | I loaded the CD fully and didn't see an option to install | 00:09 |
| sfears | there should be an install icon on the desktop | 00:09 |
| NDPTAL85 | There wasn't | 00:10 |
| sfears | you booted from the cd? | 00:10 |
| NDPTAL85 | Yes | 00:10 |
| Evil_ | sfears: I can't download SP2 from linux, need IE | 00:10 |
| NDPTAL85 | I could see the lovely KDE 4 desktop | 00:10 |
| sfears | anyone know where the install file is on the live cd? i'm not sure | 00:10 |
| ardchoille | sfears: He means the KDE4 RC2 livecd | 00:11 |
| sfears | SP2 Evil_? | 00:11 |
| Evil_ | Service pack 2 | 00:11 |
| sfears | ohhh | 00:11 |
| martijn81 | NDPTAL85: you have downloaded the lastest kde4 RC2 live-cd, this release does not come with installation support | 00:11 |
| sfears | service pack 2 is for windows | 00:11 |
| sfears | it's an XP upgrade | 00:11 |
| dany | haha thks 4all ardchoille | 00:11 |
| ardchoille | dany: yw :) | 00:11 |
| Evil_ | Someone told me to download it to the partition and install it before the network drivers | 00:11 |
| NDPTAL85 | martijn81: Ahhh. So I have to install regular Kubuntu and then install KDE 4? | 00:11 |
| Evil_ | I thought you did, lol, sorry | 00:11 |
| Evil_ | umm, wrong place >.> | 00:12 |
| Evil_ | lmao | 00:12 |
| sfears | nope.. that's completely windows | 00:12 |
| ardchoille | NDPTAL85: There's a link in the topic | 00:12 |

| killermach | the adept updater fails to install Gutsy to my Fiesty machine, some core dump regarding debconf, | 00:12 |
| martijn81 | NDPTAL85: currenty: yes | 00:13 |
| killermach | last update I did from Edgy to Fiesty someone gave me a command line to upgrade which worked..can someone help me w/ this? thanks | 00:13 |
| BluesKaj | Evil_, gotta be in windows to DL XP-SP2 | 00:13 |
| ardchoille | killermach: If you do it from command line, you'll end up missing things which are new t Gutsy but weren't in Feisty | 00:14 |
| Evil_ | No way to get it to the NTFS partition from livecd? :( | 00:14 |
| BluesKaj | Evil_ never heard of such a thing ...MS doesn't take kindly to browsers or DLmanagers on linux | 00:15 |
| Jyzygzel- | why apt-get install iceweasel not work? | 00:15 |
| killermach | ardchoille: ok.. I have 7.10 CDROM, can do a full install, but I need some pointers on migrating my current settings to the new install..any tips? | 00:15 |
| Jyzygzel- | i need a browser | 00:15 |
| Evil_ | lol, k, thanks for all the help guys :) | 00:15 |
| BluesKaj | Jyzygzel-, use konqueror | 00:16 |
| martijn81 | Jyzygzel-: there is firefox | 00:16 |
| Evil_ | BluesKaj: I need ActiveX | 00:16 |
| Jyzygzel- | ic | 00:16 |
| ardchoille | killermach: What I did was back up $HOME and then copy desired files back into the new system. Seemed to work ok here. | 00:16 |
| dylan_ | killermach: make sure you use the same user and group ID (not just name) on your new system for each user, or you'll have a lot of difficulty in transferring things. create the users in the same order and you should generally have identical UID/GIDs. | 00:17 |
| BluesKaj | Evil_ if ya wanna play activeX platform games , do it on a windows installed partition | 00:17 |
| Kingzar | can you setup Kontact with hotmaiL!?>? | 00:18 |
| BluesKaj | Kingzar, set hotmail to send your hotmail email to k-mail ...It's easy to do with gmail , but I've never used hotmail | 00:20 |
| martijn81 | Kingzar: i believe only if you sign up for a paid service | 00:20 |
| BluesKaj | who would pay for hot mail anyway ? | 00:21 |
| martijn81 | there was a tool for it under windows though, libpopper3 or something like that, can't remember anymore.... | 00:21 |
| killermach | ardchoille: thanks | 00:21 |
| Kingzar | alright i read some google too you have to pay indeed for pop3 | 00:21 |
| ardchoille | killermach: yw | 00:21 |
| martijn81 | indeed, there is gmail | 00:21 |
| killermach | dylan_: cool, make the users in the same order.. got it | 00:21 |
| Kingzar | so whats by far the best Clock widget? | 00:21 |
| Kingzar | kclock? | 00:21 |
| BluesKaj | nope Kingzar , not true | 00:21 |
| abdulla | BluesKaj, i have hotmail , and what can i do now everybody knows my hotmail if i change services just to recieve my email to evoloution or thunderbird i would lose all my friends | 00:22 |
| ardchoille | !info styleclock | Kingzar | 00:22 |
| ubotu | kingzar: styleclock: a themeable replacement for KDE's clock applet. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.5.1-0ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 272 kB, installed size 684 kB | 00:22 |
| dylan_ | killermach: ive had nightmarish situations trying to transfer files but also wonderfully simple ones when i followed that rule. also make _sure_ you dont put them on a non-linux filesystem for backup if you want to preserve the permissions - otherwise everything will be executable, and youre lucky if thats the only issue you have. | 00:23 |
| Jyzygzel- | how do i map my mouse thumb button to do stuff? | 00:23 |
| abdulla | is theyr a way to transfer ? BluesKaj ? or maybe tell me if i can get hotmail to my thunderbird app ? | 00:23 |
| killermach | dylan_: a "non-linux system"? people still have those?? :) | 00:24 |
| abdulla | Jyzygzel-, you want to make the side buttons for back forward in firefox right? | 00:24 |
| Jyzygzel- | yea | 00:25 |
| dylan_ | killermach: some of us play games, you know. wine and cedega arent up to par for most of em. | 00:25 |
| Jyzygzel- | i have to find them to Alt + Left + Left | 00:25 |
| Jyzygzel- | and Right | 00:25 |
| PasteL | OpenArena rooooooooox | 00:25 |
| Jyzygzel- | i jsut don't know how | 00:25 |
| abdulla | Jyzygzel-, i dunno if theyr is an app to do this , but i was wondering myself , i think the only binding place for things like mouse keyboard will be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf , go fo kdesudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 00:25 |
| dylan_ | killermach: and watch out, cuz external hard drives come formatted fat32, even if theyre WAY too big for the fat32 specification. they just force format em. :-P | 00:25 |
| Jyzygzel- | nah it does not work | 00:26 |
| ardchoille | PasteL: And it's in the repos :) | 00:26 |
| abdulla | PasteL, OpenArena is multiplayer? | 00:26 |
| killermach | dylan_: yep just showed my cousin how to setup world of warcraft on wine.. well actually we googled up an ubuntu forum :) | 00:26 |
| Jyzygzel- | the xorg.conf if complete waste of time | 00:26 |
| Jyzygzel- | u never know what to write there | 00:26 |
| dylan_ | killermach: hows the performance, compared to on windows on the same comp? | 00:26 |
| abdulla | i know but i guess if you google you will know , i havent googles yet im lazy about this issue since 8 months now | 00:26 |
| ardchoille | Jyzygzel-: There is a nice cinfigurator to help with xorg.conf: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 00:26 |
| abdulla | ardchoille, OpenArena similar to Quake3 CPMA? | 00:26 |
| dylan_ | killermach: ie whats the fps in shattrath? ;) | 00:27 |
| killermach | dylan_: good advice.. I reformat mine ext3 to avoid infections from peoples winboxes | 00:27 |
| ardchoille | abdulla: No idea | 00:27 |
| Jyzygzel- | but it wont configure my mouse buttons | 00:27 |
| abdulla | how many MB? ardchoille | 00:27 |
| ardchoille | Jyzygzel-: Ah, ok. | 00:27 |
| dylan_ | killermach: its also good for privacy since windoze doesnt recognize even ext2 ^.^ | 00:27 |
| BluesKaj | hotmail doesn't do forwarding and pop , then keep your hotmail if you don't want to lose your contacts ...it's not so hard to bookmark your hotmail acct on om your browser toolbar | 00:27 |
| ardchoille | abdulla: apt-cache policy openarena | 00:27 |
| hdevalence | how do I tell konqueror to not play music or animations? | 00:27 |
| ardchoille | hdevalence: On websites? | 00:28 |
| hdevalence | ardchoille: Yeah. | 00:28 |
| killermach | dylan_: well it would not be a fair comparison, he went from a celeron 900Mhz 512MB w/ winxp home, to Kubuntu Gutsy on an X2 dual core 4100+ 2.1Ghz w/ 2GB RAM, so it runs better period :) | 00:28 |
| abdulla | ardchoille, apt-cache search / policy havent shown me the file zie | 00:29 |
| ardchoille | hdevalence: Sounds lke you may have flash installed | 00:29 |
| BluesKaj | flash and java | 00:29 |
| hdevalence | ardchoille: It's not flash | 00:29 |
| abdulla | who played OpenArena here? | 00:29 |
| abdulla | is itmultiplayer? | 00:29 |
| ardchoille | abdulla: apt-cache show openarena | 00:29 |
| killermach | dylan_: I use knoppix to get files off winbox to external HD then a read only ext2 driver for winbox to xfer files back to winbox from ext hd | 00:29 |
| hdevalence | it's animated GIFs and an mp3 file | 00:29 |
| BluesKaj | I tried it for 10mins one day | 00:30 |
| dylan_ | killermach: what RO driver? got a link? | 00:30 |
| ardchoille | hdevalence: Not sure on gif's and mp3's | 00:30 |
| abdulla | does it have online play BluesKaj | 00:30 |
| BluesKaj | yup | 00:30 |

| ardchoille | Kingzar: Right click the panel, choose Add applet to panel, find the Weather Service applet and add it | 00:32 |
| theunixgeek | By no customization, I mean having this as the default desktop look: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/figures/rnintroduction-screenshot.png | 00:32 |

| Kingzar | problem is it doesn appear | 00:50 |
| abdulla | if you tried apple .. you will know what i mean, but if you tried a Gnome hacked panel ( apple customization ) you will not notice | 00:50 |

| PasteL | hahahahahahaha | 01:15 |
| godzero | "/mnt/sda1 and /mnt/sda2 for example. If you have other drives that are not PATA - you might want to mount them as /mnt/sata1 and /mnt/sata2. The name is anything that makes sence to you" | 01:16 |
| linuxmce | ok | 01:16 |
| godzero | linuxmce: I use /mount/external_1 | 01:17 |
| linuxmce | There internal drives :) | 01:18 |
| godzero | :) | 01:18 |
| linuxmce | what about the mount point though: | 01:18 |
| godzero | ? | 01:18 |
| godzero | you can mount the thing as a subdirectory in any existing directory, even /etc/my_stuff is legal | 01:19 |
| dor0 | guys, there is any applet to show me the network connexions in tray bar like in windows? | 01:20 |
| godzero | brb | 01:20 |
| linuxmce | I guess I just don't understand. Mount Points, Type, Device - I need to put stuff in there and If I don't it ask me to add loops | 01:20 |
| wintermute_ | mine already does off a fresh install | 01:20 |
| godzero | linuxmce: First step is to plug it in, and format it. I suggers using "qtparted" to format it. Install it. Power down. Plug in your drives. power up, login. run qtparted. Format your new drives (they should stick out like sore thumbs in the left pane). Write down thier paths (like: /dev/sdc and /dev/sdd) on a piece of paper, and come back. | 01:29 |
| linuxmce | The drives are plugged in and I know what they are - I just don't know how to start qtparted | 01:30 |
| godzero | install qtparted, alt-f2, kdesu qtparted. | 01:31 |
| linuxmce | I think it is installed already | 01:31 |
| linuxmce | or not | 01:31 |
| linuxmce | how do I install | 01:31 |
| godzero | press "ALT-F2", type "kdesu qtparted" in the box. Enter your password. | 01:32 |
| linuxmce | sounds the command not found | 01:33 |
| linuxmce | so must not be installed | 01:33 |
| jhutchins | Um, we're not trying to run qtparted from the drive we're working on, are we? | 01:33 |
| linuxmce | no | 01:33 |
| jhutchins | oh, good. | 01:33 |
| linuxmce | just tryint to install it - don't know how | 01:33 |
| jhutchins | linuxmce: apt-get install qtparted | 01:33 |
| linuxmce | ty | 01:34 |
| jhutchins | linuxmce: or better sudo aptitude install qtparted | 01:34 |
| jhutchins | You'll need sudo in any case. | 01:34 |
| godzero | to install: open the konsole, type "apt-get update" press enter. ***password**. Wait. Type "apt-get install qtparted". press "y" anytime it asks. | 01:34 |
| jhutchins | linuxmce: So what are you installing it to? | 01:34 |
| jhutchins | godzero: sudo | 01:34 |
| godzero | ooh, sorry | 01:34 |
| Kingzar | anyone know how to keep widgets on background while using cube 4 faces? | 01:35 |
| jhutchins | I forget too, learned on other distros. | 01:35 |
| godzero | to install: open the konsole, type "sudo apt-get update" press enter. ***password**. Wait. Type "sudo apt-get install qtparted". press "y" anytime it asks. | 01:35 |
| jhutchins | Kingzar: There's a #compiz channel. | 01:35 |
| godzero | jhutchins: engineer's syndrome | 01:39 |
| linuxmce | OK - got it installed - now do I make it an extended partition? | 01:39 |
| godzero | linuxmce: what do you want? 1 big space, or several smaller spaces? | 01:40 |
| linuxmce | Big Space - It will hold the DVDS that I rip - it's 500GB | 01:40 |
| godzero | primary partition (and I didn't need to know that). | 01:41 |
| godzero | 1 big partition | 01:41 |
| linuxmce | ok | 01:41 |
| linuxmce | and use ext3 | 01:41 |
| godzero | yes, If only used in a Linux environment. | 01:42 |
| linuxmce | yes | 01:42 |
| godzero | ext3 it is, then | 01:42 |
| linuxmce | Do I have to format it after I create the partition? | 01:42 |
| godzero | yes | 01:42 |
| godzero | a few seconds is all | 01:43 |
| linuxmce | It is saying that it is a virtual partion | 01:44 |
| linuxmce | ah - nevermind - | 01:44 |
| linuxmce | gotta commit first :) | 01:44 |
| godzero | It's inside of a primary partion (I think). Id go ahead and erase the thing, and start again. I should only take a minute. | 01:45 |
| godzero | commit.. yes | 01:45 |
| jhutchins | With linux you don't need silly extended partitions. | 01:46 |
| godzero | So..... Does anyone know how to kill dolphin? | 01:46 |
| linuxmce | Thanks guys - I appreciated - just added another 900GB to my box. | 01:46 |
| godzero | linuxmce: sweet | 01:46 |
| maybeway36 | I would go "killall dolphin" in the Alt+F2 window | 01:46 |
| linuxmce | What is that? | 01:47 |
| godzero | I had that comming. | 01:47 |
| godzero | Dolphin is the new file manager. I hate it. I want konqueror back as my primary file manager. | 01:47 |
| maybeway36 | Alt+F2 and type "kcmshell filetypes" | 01:48 |
| maybeway36 | w/ out quotes | 01:48 |
| maybeway36 | Then go to inode>folder | 01:48 |
| maybeway36 | move Konqueror to top | 01:48 |
| Slynderdale | I'm currently dual booting Windows and Linux. The problem is, I don't have a working CD drive with boot support. I want to reformat my current linux install and install Ubuntu/Gutsy Gibbon instead. How can I do this without a boot/live CD? | 01:48 |
| maybeway36 | Slynderdale: try UNetBootin | 01:48 |
| maybeway36 | or whatever its called | 01:49 |
| maybeway36 | It's like the mini.iso Ubuntu installer w/out a CD | 01:49 |
| maybeway36 | install it from Windows | 01:49 |
| godzero | maybeway36: Thanks, but inode does not have "folder" | 01:50 |
| maybeway36 | hmm | 01:50 |
| godzero | kubuntu AMD64 | 01:50 |
| maybeway36 | oh its called "directory" | 01:50 |
| Max-P | Hi, how can I install RandR 1.2 (1.1 installed, using feisty) | 01:51 |
| maybeway36 | Slynderdale: do inode>directory and inode>system_directory | 01:51 |
| maybeway36 | no not you | 01:51 |
| maybeway36 | i mean godzero | 01:51 |
| maybeway36 | gah im so confused | 01:51 |
| godzero | found it. Thanks. I looked and looked.... | 01:52 |
| maybeway36 | i did that too | 01:52 |
| maybeway36 | i like konqueror in kde3 so much better | 01:52 |

| dany | hehe | 02:04 |
| Kingzar | what option do i need to add to my user, so i can acces NTFS disk? | 02:04 |
| ardchoille | dany: What I meant is I think your package manager has issues that need to be resolved. Posting that gethostname problem on ubuntu forums might help with that. | 02:04 |

| godzero | jhutchins: How long have you been on #kubuntu (historicly)? I have been here in a few years. | 02:12 |
| jhutchins | Um, I'd say two or three years, probably. Off and on. | 02:13 |
| jhutchins | Probably not more than two, I installed right about when Feisty came out. | 02:13 |
| jhutchins | Been running Linux since like RH2.1 though. | 02:13 |
| godzero | limac: Oh, never mind. Just a joke (lame, I guess) | 02:14 |
| limac | godzero; so how can I fix that problem? | 02:14 |
| godzero | limac: no, I don't use firefox | 02:14 |
| killermach | ardchoille: is there a good backup app in kubuntu that I can use to copy my home dir to my external drive | 02:14 |
| limac | godzero; then wat do u suggest i use? | 02:15 |
| sfears | you don't need a backup app to copy your home folder | 02:15 |

| godzero | jhutchins: Are all the devs asleep/out. Seems like they were around more back then. | 02:17 |
| ardchoille | killermach: I just use tar: cd /home && tar cjf /desired/path/backup.tar.bz2 $(whoami) | 02:17 |

| limac | ??? | 02:19 |
| godzero | limac: | 02:19 |
| tekteen | limac: I think the command "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" does it | 02:19 |
| === litbang is now known as riefzu | ||
| limac | but doesn't that do it for firefox????? | 02:20 |
| godzero | limac: The flash plugin should "just work" from what I'm told. I don't know bacause I'm running 64 bit, and I refuse to use 32 bit software. Are you using 32 or 64 bit? | 02:20 |
| tekteen | limac: both | 02:20 |
| limac | 32 bit | 02:20 |
| limac | how can i get the 64 bit one??? | 02:21 |
| tekteen | it also should work for opera | 02:21 |

| limac | or i cant???? | 02:23 |
| tekteen | limac: I will give a link. do u want alternative install cd or the normal live cd? | 02:23 |

| tekteen | limac: http://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/linux/ubuntu-releases/kubuntu/gutsy/kubuntu-7.10-desktop-amd64.iso | 02:24 |
| limac | tekteen: wat do u mean by "alternative install cd"? | 02:24 |
| tekteen | limac: there is a text based install cd | 02:25 |
| godzero | limac: First, you have to make sure your proc can do 64 bit. But the big question is "why would you want to?". I do because I'm like that. Third party support is better in a 32 bit environment. | 02:25 |
| ardchoille | limac: The alternate cd is a text-based install cd, the dekstop cd is a live environemnt with an option to install to hard drive | 02:25 |
| limac | but i have an intel celeron m proc | 02:25 |
| godzero | 32 bit | 02:25 |
| limac | probably | 02:26 |
| limac | not sure tho | 02:26 |
| limac | actually yeah its 32 bit | 02:26 |
| tekteen | I am too lazy to install kubuntu again but I will not install kubuntu 64 till 7.10 | 02:26 |

| adamonline45 | ahh interesting... so a theme is kind of the central place to hold all the settings, color, etc... | 02:39 |
| mox69_ | hdevalence: i would just not install a window manager | 02:39 |
| adamonline45 | Thank you 8) | 02:39 |
| tekteen | hdevalence: not the server | 02:39 |
| mox69_ | hdevalence: uncheck gnome / kde when you are installing | 02:39 |
| mox69_ | kdevalence: you should boot into a console | 02:39 |
| mox69_ | then you just command line install kde4 | 02:39 |
| hdevalence | I have the DVD that lets you do LiveCD/text/server/etc | 02:40 |
| hdevalence | 'install in text mode"? | 02:40 |
| tekteen | hdevalence: u could install the minimal | 02:40 |
| mox69_ | well i think that just runs the installer in text mode | 02:40 |
| tekteen | hdevalence: or cli mode | 02:40 |
| tekteen | hdevalence: then from the command line install kde4 | 02:41 |
| ardchoille | Many people simply install the server and then build from there to custimse their install. | 02:41 |
| hdevalence | tekteen: good idea. | 02:41 |
| tekteen | hdevalence: I have never installed kde4 | 02:41 |
| mox69_ | hdevalence: i guess the server idea isnt bad, just look over what gets installed | 02:41 |
| db52 | theres a kde 4 kubuntu alpha iso out isnt there? | 02:42 |
| hdevalence | tekteen: i have a version on my laptop, but it's a mess with kde3/4 | 02:42 |
| ardchoille | db52: See the topic | 02:42 |
| hdevalence | and so i'm installing it on my old box | 02:42 |
| hdevalence | not actually that old though. | 02:42 |
| tekteen | ok | 02:42 |
| tekteen | I have no experience | 02:42 |
| db52 | ardchoille: sorry im in kopete | 02:43 |
| tekteen | just giving ideas | 02:43 |
| ardchoille | db52: /topic | 02:43 |
| ardchoille | ? | 02:43 |
| wintermute_ | what is a good c++ ide aside from anjuta? | 02:43 |
| hdevalence | wintermute_: | 02:43 |
| db52 | ardchoille: i see rc2 | 02:43 |
| hdevalence | err | 02:43 |
| hdevalence | !info kdevelop | 02:43 |
| ardchoille | wintermute_: kdevelop ? | 02:43 |
| ardchoille | db52: That is the latest I believe | 02:44 |
| tekteen | wintermute_: eclipse | 02:44 |
| t3hwiz0rd | !compiz | 02:44 |
| db52 | ardchoille: gotcha | 02:44 |
| ubotu | kdevelop: An IDE for Unix/X11. In component universe, is optional. Version 4:3.5.0-0ubuntu2.1 (gutsy), package size 8840 kB, installed size 26992 kB | 02:44 |
| ubotu | Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 02:44 |
| t3hwiz0rd | ohh boy the bots lagging. | 02:44 |
| hdevalence | heh | 02:44 |
| ardchoille | t3hwiz0rd: He's in many channels.. and working hard :) | 02:44 |
| hdevalence | btw, once kde4 is released, what would be a distro where I could get a 'default' KDE4 install | 02:45 |
| tekteen | I think the bot deserves a snack | 02:45 |
| wintermute_ | thank you | 02:45 |
| tekteen | !botsnack | 02:45 |
| ubotu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 02:45 |
| hdevalence | ie no distro specifice customizations | 02:45 |
| biovore | kubuntu will have KDE4 (if released) for herron | 02:45 |
| ardchoille | hdevalence: I think you would be hard pressed to find a distro which doesn't customise their deksotp environments | 02:46 |
| hdevalence | eg kubuntu changes the konqueror interface | 02:46 |
| hdevalence | etc | 02:46 |
| ardchoille | Yeah | 02:46 |
| hdevalence | debian? slackware? | 02:46 |
| db52 | anyone know how to update the adblock filters in konquerer? | 02:47 |
| biovore | hdevalence: theres always LFS :-P | 02:48 |
| hdevalence | biovore: what's LFS? | 02:50 |
| biovore | linux from scratch | 02:51 |
| db52 | how stable is the rc2 | 02:52 |
| db52 | ahh im out of cds anyway | 02:53 |
| killermach | ardchoille: I have installed gimp, blender, inkscape ect on my fiesty box, how can I get kubuntu to install them from a script? | 02:55 |
| killermach | so I don't have to hand pick them all again, including their add-ons | 02:55 |
| ardchoille | killermach: use a bash script and add a line: sudo apt-get install gimp blender inkscape | 02:56 |
| killermach | ardchoille: is there a way to get a list of what's installed from adept or the like? | 02:57 |
| Rafabe | hi | 02:57 |
| Rafabe | can someone help me get Kubuntu installed? | 02:57 |
| ardchoille | killermach: You can use a command to see what you have install via command line: history | grep install | 02:58 |
| Rafabe | during the base install, I get an error on initramfs. It tries 5 times then continues...then I get another error later on. Checked the CD for defects, it's fine. | 02:58 |
| killermach | ardchoille: what I'm looking for is like the RedHat kickstart of sorts | 02:58 |
| ardchoille | killermach: There may be, but I am a cli fan so I wouldn't have used it. | 02:59 |
| killermach | ok.. cool.. I can probly pick them about as fast as figuring this out, but it'd be cool to know | 02:59 |
| t3hwiz0rd | okay | 03:01 |
| t3hwiz0rd | i got it all working | 03:01 |
| t3hwiz0rd | but im trying to set up desktop cube | 03:01 |
| t3hwiz0rd | nd when i do, it only gets 2 desktops?? | 03:01 |
| neville | Go to general settings in the settings for Compiz | 03:02 |
| EnsGabe | Is anyone else having problems with konqueror and the recently updated flash plugin? nspluginviewer keeps crashing on me | 03:02 |
| neville | And I think it's called Desktop size, or something like that | 03:02 |
| killermach | ardchoille: trying this first.. apt-get -f dist-upgrade | 03:02 |
| neville | You fiddle with the settings there, in order to get more than 2 faces | 03:02 |
| t3hwiz0rd | any ettings in specific? | 03:02 |
| neville | Can't remember off the top of my head, and I haven't got installed at the moment =] | 03:03 |
| t3hwiz0rd | cos rioght now i have a two-sided cube | 03:03 |
| neville | Just trial and error though, it's always fun =D | 03:03 |
| killermach | ardchoille: I'll let you know how it goes command line upgrade from fiesty to gutsy | 03:05 |
| t3hwiz0rd | hmm still 2 desktops | 03:08 |

| Ch1ppy | hey, I'm having trouble with kopete saving changes I make. For example, when I add someone to my contact list, the next time I restart that person is added to a folder "Not in your contact list", and keeps going back even if I move them to a folder and make sure they're on my list... can anyone help me out? | 03:13 |
| t3hwiz0rd | yay | 03:18 |
| Dragnslcr | Ch1ppy- is it an MSN contact? | 03:18 |
| Ch1ppy | Dragnslcr: yep | 03:18 |
| Dragnslcr | I know there's a bug with not being able to remove an MSN contact, so it may be related | 03:19 |
| db52 | how do i disable join and leave notifications in kopete? | 03:19 |
| Dragnslcr | Ch1ppy- you can try checking with #kopete to see if it's a known issue | 03:19 |
| Ch1ppy | Dragnslcr: mkay | 03:19 |
| killermach | ardchoille: looks like it finished.. lemme reboot and see | 03:25 |
| killermach | ardchoille: so far so good | 03:28 |
| killermach | it's installing my nvidia driver now | 03:29 |
| killermach | restart again for that | 03:29 |
| ardchoille | killermike: Good to hear, but no need to keep me updated :) | 03:31 |

| killermach | ardchoille: so far so good.. I don't care for dolphin tho.. but else is good upgrade | 03:38 |
| ardchoille | killermach: There is no need to keep me updated | 03:38 |
| EnsGabe | Is anyone else having problems with konqueror and the recently updated flash plugin? nspluginviewer keeps crashing on me | 03:39 |
| intelikey | :) | 03:39 |
| hydrogen | dolphin took a bit of getting used to | 03:39 |
| hydrogen | I'm fairly happy with it though | 03:39 |
| hydrogen | dolphin4 is a whole lot nicer but thats a different story :) | 03:39 |
| intelikey | what is dolphin again ? | 03:39 |
| hydrogen | filemanager | 03:39 |
| ardchoille | !dolphin | 03:39 |
| ubotu | 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. | 03:39 |
| killermach | no just you anyone wanting to know, that the upgrade is worthwhile and smooth | 03:40 |
| ardchoille | killermach: That's good to hear | 03:43 |
| capricori | hey all. could anyone guess as to why kubuntu keeps logging me out randomly? it's starting to get annoying... | 03:45 |
| jhutchins | I here d3lphin has been essentiallyh abandoned in place and will not be developed further. At best, it's good ideas may be merged into konqueror. | 03:46 |
| jhutchins | (where'd that stray h come from?) | 03:47 |
| cheguevara | jhutchins, konqueror uses dolphin for file management in kde 4 so... | 03:48 |
| * intelikey hunts up the h remover for jhutchins | 03:49 | |
| jhutchins | cheguevara: Yeah, from what I've heard it sounds like they reached a revision stange and realized that to get to the next step towards release just wasn't worth it. | 03:49 |
| cheguevara | no point of developing kde3 software anymore anyway :P | 03:49 |
| jhutchins | Could be apocryphal, I don't know, but I heard that it was dead stop on developing it. | 03:50 |
| jhutchins | cheguevara: Yeah, but d3lphin isn't kde3. | 03:50 |
| cheguevara | it is | 03:50 |
| cheguevara | d3lpin is kde3 | 03:50 |
| cheguevara | dolphin is kde4 | 03:50 |
| jhutchins | Ah, well it was dolphin I heard it about, not "as corrected by ubotu". | 03:50 |
| jhutchins | But, on the same hand, it could be that it's true of d3lphin and not dolphin, somebody got the rumor wrong. | 03:51 |
| Travis | Hi I just put a hard drive in my server from my older server, the data on it is in a format called LVM2 MEMBER, because my old server was LVM, I just need to get the data off it for my new server? how do I go about this? | 03:52 |
| cheguevara | most ppl just say dolphin talking about both of them | 03:52 |
| intelikey | "somebody got the rumor wrong." surely you jest | 03:52 |
| cheguevara | Travis, might want to go to #ubuntu-server | 03:52 |
| Travis | cheguevara yea i did both cause this is the same procedure for kubuntu | 03:52 |
| sylvisj | hello people, I need some help with nvidia binaries | 03:55 |
| sylvisj | Followed the instructions as per http://www.kubuntu.org/doc/7.10/hardware/C/video.html#nvidia, but /var/log/Xorg.0.log says that the nvidia driver can't find the kernel module | 03:55 |
| sylvisj | or rather, "failed to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module!" | 03:56 |
| jhutchins | sylvisj: There's an #nvidia channel. | 03:56 |
| sylvisj | Ok, will try over there. | 03:57 |
| sylvisj | "Ubuntu kernel module problem? Ask in #ubuntu" | 03:57 |
| jhutchins | Travis: This is why LVM is evil. You need the set, not just a member. | 03:58 |
| intelikey | sylvisj wrong version or not compatable with the hardware. | 03:59 |
| sylvisj | It's compatible; GeForce 8800GTS, current stable driver release | 03:59 |
| sylvisj | Hm, manually unloading and reloading the nvidia kernel module fixed it, odd | 04:00 |
| intelikey | can't insert a kernel module that doesn't match the running kernel version, or that the hardware doesn't match (last half is more dependant on the exact module) | 04:00 |
| Travis | jhutchins well i think the other drive failed or something (I don't have it) | 04:00 |
| sylvisj | Well, the thing is - the module was loaded | 04:01 |
| Travis | my task was getting the data off the one drive i do have recovered | 04:01 |
| sylvisj | unloading and reloading it seems to have solved this issue, which makes me wonder why | 04:01 |
| intelikey | race condition ? | 04:01 |
| neville | Try reinstalling the driver, then running sudo nvidia-xconfig -add-argb-glx-visuals --composite | 04:01 |
| Travis | LVM seems to worked great until something went horribly wrong and the LVM got messed up, now when I mount it says it's not formatted and that i should format the LVM volume with like ext3 | 04:02 |
| neville | --add-argb-glx-visuals --composite | 04:02 |
| ndazza | hi, i'm having trouble finding the jigdo files for the kubuntu gutsy DVD, i've googled and looked through cdimage.ubuntu.com but i'm not having any luck. does anyone know where it is? | 04:04 |

| ndazza | looks like i might have found the jigdo images here http://mirror.in.th/ubuntu_cdimages/kubuntu/dvd/current/ | 04:18 |
| stdin | ndazza: I guess you didn't look at http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/dvd/current/ ? | 04:21 |

| rayman | there is a kubuntu channel | 04:53 |
| rayman | and to think i've been on freenode for awhile | 04:53 |
| rayman | anyone around to help answer a (hopefully easy) question? | 04:55 |
| stdin | ask it and see | 04:56 |
| rayman | horray! | 04:56 |
| rayman | So, I've been running kubuntu since 6.10 (nothing to brag about, I know) on a thinkpad T42 (1.7 Pentium M, Radeon Mobility 9600..etc.). It was running fine and I even got beryl to work, although not in hardware..anyway... | 04:57 |
| Slynderdale | In gutsy gibbon, is there a way to keep the Ubuntu and Kubuntu applications seperate based on the current session your using? | 04:57 |
| rayman | when I upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 using the website instructions it seems to be running in "software" mode now even with the fglrx driver | 04:58 |
| edellingham | Hey guys...long time Ubuntu user, first time Kubuntu user. I'm quite familiar with KDE, I've ran KDE off and on since way before anyone thought of Ubuntu...I must say, you guys make straight Ubuntu look bad. I swear, although I've ran Ubuntu with KDE...this seems more responsive, better apps included, system is literally easier to use by the way settings is placed... | 04:58 |
| edellingham | Very, very impressed... | 04:58 |
| rayman | pictures are scrambled and it runs insanely slow | 04:58 |
| edellingham | Kubuntu should be the official release | 04:58 |
| stdin | rayman: you have to remove xserver-xgl, if it's installed it'll be used by default even if you don't choose it | 04:59 |
| sleeper | i cant upgrade from to gutsy | 04:59 |
| rayman | through apt? | 04:59 |
| Daemon-- | is it possible to make the system request confirmation before deleting directories? | 04:59 |
| sleeper | i cant upgrade from feisty to gutsy | 05:00 |
| ardchoille | Daemon--: rm -i file | 05:01 |
| sleeper | when i look at the apt.log at the end i have this | 05:02 |
| sleeper | Package libc6-i686 has broken dep on libc6 | 05:02 |
| sleeper | Considering libc6 11936 as a solution to libc6-i686 7 | 05:02 |
| sleeper | Holding Back libc6-i686 rather than change libc6 | 05:02 |
| Daemon-- | i mean if i do "rm file" it automatically asks for confirmation before deleiting the file incase you dont mean to. But when I do "rm -rf directory" it doesnt request confirmation but i would like it to | 05:02 |
| mox69__ | daemon: remove the -f .... | 05:03 |
| Daemon-- | right, the f means no confirmation then | 05:03 |
| Daemon-- | thanks | 05:03 |
| mox69__ | np | 05:03 |
| Daemon-- | :) | 05:04 |
| ardchoille | I've never seen rm -r ask before removing | 05:04 |
| mox69__ | it doesnt? | 05:04 |
| ardchoille | Not here | 05:04 |
| mox69__ | then do rm -ri directory | 05:04 |
| sparr | some systems, particularly multi-user servers, force -i on rm | 05:05 |
| mox69__ | ahh | 05:05 |
| ardchoille | Ah, ok | 05:05 |
| twylight | is there a keystroke logger for kubuntu? | 05:06 |
| sparr | hell, ive used systems where rm was aliased to a 'mv [whatever] /tmp/trashcan/username' | 05:06 |
| Dr_willis | sparr, yep seen that befor also | 05:14 |
| Dr_willis | or a perl script that intercepts bad typos :) | 05:14 |
| rayman | stdin: holy crap, i love you..well no, not quite that much but THANKS...oh so much, i can now enjoy kubuntu again | 05:15 |
| edellingham | Got a question, I've just installed Kubuntu on my system. I went through the updates that you'd expect from installing a new distro, and then it suggested I upgrade to Gutsy 7.10...which I'm confident I'm already running. . I told it to go ahead and it started the process and now it's at the installing point...and sitting at 0%. | 05:20 |
| edellingham | Is this normal? | 05:21 |
| mactalla | hey all. I made the mistake of updating. Now I'm stuck with flash 115. Does anyone know where I can get a .deb of the previous version (.85?) | 05:21 |

| tehm0nk | there is one more thing i need tho and a couple commands i have to run | 05:31 |

| oobe | Mar1ey, why cant the router do the pppoe | 05:44 |

| mactalla | stdin: yeah, I see that in the url it downloaded. So now I just need to get my paws on a good version and make sure apt-get sees that to not try downloading it. | 05:46 |
| Titanix88 | Hey im a newbie c programmer. But im having prblm with string related functions. | 05:48 |
| stdin | Titanix88: ##c | 05:49 |
| stdin | then learn C++ and use std::string ;) | 05:49 |
| Titanix88 | wierd characters r appearing | 05:51 |
| twylight | uze prpr inglish plz | 05:51 |
| wintermute_ | were you born in 1988 or are you a skinhead | 05:51 |
| stdin | I'd guess it's because your char arrays aren't null terminated, but you should really ask in ##c | 05:52 |
| Titanix88 | The characters change as i chang encoding! | 05:52 |
| naelr | looking for some help compiling a new kernel for my new laptop that doesn't like any of gutsy's kernels | 05:52 |

| naelr | yea been there and been sent there many times... 5 kernels later it still won't boot | 05:53 |
| naelr | what kernel is hardy running? | 05:53 |
| Titanix88 | Ok,sorry for my english. All i need to know is howto set ascii encoding in konsole. | 05:54 |
| stdin | same as gutsy right now | 05:54 |
| naelr | well that won't help | 05:54 |
| naelr | only kernel that boots is 2.6.20-14... | 05:54 |

| fluid | hello; anyone around? i installed the kde4rc2 packages.. and removed them; but now, kubuntu won't start... just a black screen. if i boot into recovery mood, and "startx" - it starts kde.. sometimes the monitor is jigging and jagging, but it never boots.. it just kicks you back out to a prompt; i'm guessing i need to re-install kde3, or change the default window m,anager.. anyone have any ideas?? | 05:56 |
| === adan is now known as TAC | ||
| tehm0nk | Oops! lol ty | 05:57 |
| stdin | naelr: just install that kernel and boot from it, then make sure you report a bug against linux-source-2.6.22 with a description of your hardware and your problem | 05:57 |
| stdin | fluid: make sure you have kdebase-bin-kde3 installed | 05:57 |
| tehm0nk | which filesystem should i use for Root and which for Home? | 05:58 |
| stdin | ext3 is probably the best for both | 05:58 |
| tehm0nk | ok | 05:59 |
| tehm0nk | weird... | 05:59 |
| tehm0nk | that dude has reiser on one | 05:59 |
| hydrogen | you know you're no longer in #gentoo when that question can be answered without five minutes of discussion | 05:59 |
| tehm0nk | that is why i asked | 05:59 |
| tehm0nk | you know you're not in #ubuntu when you actually get heard? | 05:59 |
| Tm_T | hydrogen: :/ | 05:59 |
| stdin | reiser is pretty much dead now, the maintainer got into a bit o'trouble | 05:59 |
| tehm0nk | ahh | 06:00 |
| tehm0nk | okay | 06:00 |
| tehm0nk | well i'm sorta new and sorta freaked out | 06:00 |
| tehm0nk | i'm crossing my fingers that i dont kill vista :-P | 06:00 |
| tehm0nk | haha | 06:00 |
| Tm_T | vista? | 06:00 |
| biovore | vista is good at killing it's self.. | 06:00 |
| foibles | hi there, would anyone know of a program that streams video? | 06:01 |
| biovore | doesn't need help | 06:01 |
| biovore | vlc | 06:01 |
| foibles | over the net to a friend, say | 06:01 |
| biovore | vlc can do it.. | 06:01 |
| foibles | biovore: you dont say? | 06:01 |
| Tm_T | vlc, Kaffeine, uhm, there's others but I always forget | 06:01 |
| biovore | and it dosn't matter what OS.. vlc works on window,linux,mac | 06:01 |
| biovore | vlc is simple to do.. | 06:02 |
| foibles | biovore, Tm_T: that is awesome | 06:02 |
| foibles | i was totally unaware they could do that | 06:02 |
| Tm_T | biovore: you are again heavy promoting vlc aren't you? | 06:02 |
| biovore | mplayer can do transcoding and stuff like that as well.. | 06:02 |
| hydrogen | vlc can act as a streaming server? | 06:02 |
| biovore | well I use mplayer most of the time here.. | 06:02 |
| hydrogen | I thought it was a client | 06:02 |
| biovore | yes | 06:02 |
| foibles | this is the case, i was going to watch a movie, and a friend of mine hasnt seen it | 06:02 |
| biovore | it can be a udp stream source.. | 06:03 |
| foibles | i was think maybe i can stream it and we can watch it at the same time | 06:03 |
| hydrogen | not unless you have a big fat internetpipe | 06:03 |
| biovore | its 1->1 only though.. no multicast.. | 06:03 |
| tehm0nk | hey ty guys for helping | 06:04 |
| tehm0nk | it took me HOURS to get where i did earlier | 06:04 |
| foibles | hydrogen: would it be slow for me to stream to a friend with vlc? | 06:04 |
| tehm0nk | to someone that doesnt know a lot about this stuff, you can read for days on google and not figure it out. | 06:04 |
| foibles | tehm0nk: yeah | 06:05 |
| tehm0nk | i was trying to do ubuntu | 06:05 |

| mactalla | YES! I have a flash that *works*! (now, if ppl would stop making flash-only websites, life would be grand) | 06:08 |
| mactalla | stdin: thx for your help. | 06:08 |
| mactalla | Now the million-dollar question is does Adept have a feature to let me ignore an update on a single file? | 06:08 |
| stdin | mactalla: umm, nope :p | 06:09 |
| mactalla | :P guess I need to babysit the updates until Adobe gets their butt in gear. | 06:09 |
| crush_groove | mactella unless im mistaken . you can go to "preview" updates abd delte the update you dont want from there | 06:09 |
| stdin | mactalla: aptitude will let you "hold" a pacakge | 06:10 |
| stdin | I think (not sure) adept will respect that | 06:10 |
| crush_groove | whats that command stdin ? | 06:10 |
| mactalla | stdin: thx. we'll find out in a minute! | 06:10 |
| stdin | aptitude hold <package> | 06:10 |
| crush_groove | ty | 06:10 |
| sigma_ | my hdd light flashes every 10 sec's when the pc is idle (desktop not laptop) - i have two sata hdd's installed, is this anything to be worried about? | 06:11 |
| crush_groove | hdd | 06:11 |
| sigma_ | crush_groove: was that for me? | 06:11 |
| fluid | how do i reconfigure kde3 to be my default windows manager.. i installed kde4, and it went horribly wrong.. i unistalled kde4, and now kde won't start... | 06:12 |
| sigma_ | oh and my sats hard drives - the 250gb one is two days old and the 80gb one is less than a year old | 06:12 |
| crush_groove | sigma ./no | 06:12 |
| hydrogen | fluid: at kdm choose kde3 instead of kde4 | 06:13 |
| mactalla | Adept still wants to upgrade after telling aptitude to hold it :-/ Oh well, at least it's working (for me... expect many more complaints as people get this "upgrade" sent their way!) | 06:13 |
| chrisduffy | Is there a way to get write access to a journaled HFS+? | 06:14 |
| Titanix88 | Anyone know anyway around to get ascii encoding in konsole? | 06:16 |
| sigma_ | oh has anyone here created a live cd of their current kubuntu installation? i saw a tutorial online, wondered if it would work, that would be a great tool for people doing multiple installs on the same type of machine | 06:16 |
| Dr_willis | im not sure the live cd makers ive seen - can do installs however. | 06:21 |
| Dr_willis | You could use mondo/mindo to make a bootable 'restore' disk set. | 06:22 |
| vasilisa | Why wont K3B rip dvds anymore? :( I used to turn it on and it would list dvd tracks, id select one and rip it. Now it plays a chord at me and flashes an error message so fast i cant see it, then simply lists the dvd's file structure. That is utterly worthless to me. Any ideas why this could be the case? Is it something to do with Gutsy?? | 06:27 |
| Dr_willis | could be you need to install some extra packages. | 06:27 |
| Dr_willis | Ive never used k3b to rip dvd's so cant tell ya much more then that. | 06:27 |
| vasilisa | :/ | 06:27 |
| stdin | try installing movixmaker-2 and libk3b2-extracodecs | 06:27 |
| vasilisa | ok one sec | 06:28 |
| Dr_willis | 'kubuntu-restricted-extras' for a start. then proberly whatever dvd decrypter packages exist. | 06:28 |
| sigma_ | vasilisa: do u want to rip them to avi or another dvd? | 06:28 |
| vasilisa | rip to avi... libk3b2-extracodecs gets no hits. | 06:28 |
| sigma_ | vasilisa: use acidrip, its in the repo's | 06:29 |
| vasilisa | sigma_: acidrip's never worked for me... lets see... | 06:29 |
| sigma_ | vasilisa: i use it, it works flawlessly | 06:29 |
| sigma_ | vasilisa: what happened when you tried using it? | 06:29 |
| twylight | hmm this powder smells like cocaine | 06:30 |
| vasilisa | sigma_: dont remember, baout to find out probably | 06:30 |
| stdin | twylight: ? | 06:30 |
| twylight | sshh | 06:31 |
| vasilisa | well for one thing its not dedtecting the dv | 06:31 |
| vasilisa | d | 06:31 |
| stdin | twylight: don't post such irrelevant and stupid thing in here please | 06:31 |
| mactalla | Titanix88: what are you wanting with the encoding? | 06:31 |
| vasilisa | hehe, this is a circumstance where i have to figure out which drive it is | 06:31 |
| mactalla | settings->encoding not what you're looking for? | 06:31 |
| sigma_ | vasilisa: oh is the dvd path set to /dev/dvd? | 06:31 |
| vasilisa | yeah | 06:32 |
| sigma_ | vasilisa: because if it is thats probably wrong | 06:32 |
| vasilisa | ok i found it | 06:32 |
| vasilisa | Whats the best audiocodec | 06:32 |
| twylight | mp3 | 06:32 |
| vasilisa | lavc okay for video? | 06:33 |
| sigma_ | vasilisa: yup works for me, actually all the default settings work just fine | 06:33 |
| vasilisa | *knows nothing about this...* | 06:33 |
| Dr_willis | animated gif :) | 06:33 |
| vasilisa | okay | 06:33 |
| vasilisa | okay thats the problem | 06:33 |
| vasilisa | i quick start and it just quits | 06:33 |
| sigma_ | vasilisa: another window should pop up | 06:34 |
| vasilisa | nope | 06:34 |
| vasilisa | but it is running in the processtable. | 06:34 |
| vasilisa | ... so to speak | 06:34 |
| vasilisa | do i have to queue it? | 06:35 |
| sigma_ | vasilisa: when you entered your drive in the /dev/dvd space, what exactly came up when u clicked load? | 06:35 |
| vasilisa | A list of tracks | 06:35 |
| vasilisa | nothing :( | 06:36 |
| sigma_ | did u select the long track? thats the movie | 06:37 |
| vasilisa | Yes, i did. track 1. | 06:37 |
| vasilisa | i tried running it through the command line and it doesnt even give an error | 06:37 |
| vasilisa | Except i did get a bunch of pango warnings | 06:38 |
| sigma_ | rather weird, sure all the dependencies are installed properly | 06:39 |
| vasilisa | well im not ~sure~ no | 06:39 |
| vasilisa | :/ | 06:39 |
| vasilisa | almost never have em all >.< | 06:39 |
| Dr_willis | its like pokemon. :) you can never have them all... | 06:40 |
| tehm0nk | someone wanna look at a screenshot of my install program something just doesn't look right... and it gives me an error.... | 06:41 |
| vasilisa | ;_; i wanna riiiiip | 06:41 |
| vasilisa | i miss it | 06:41 |
| vasilisa | k3b just worked flawlessly before. | 06:41 |
| sigma_ | how did u install acidrip? | 06:41 |
| vasilisa | add/remove programs | 06:41 |
| Dr_willis | !info acidrip | 06:41 |

| sigma_ | vasilisa: try using kpackage, uninstall it and download it manually from packages.ubuntu.com and install it | 06:43 |
| sigma_ | make sure it uses kpackage to install it | 06:43 |
| sigma_ | that will check that all dep's are properly installed | 06:44 |
| stdin | that's why we have gdebi | 06:44 |
| Dr_willis | sudo apt-get install acidrip ? | 06:44 |
| vasilisa | i just tried that | 06:44 |
| stdin | just double-click a .deb and deps are checked automatically | 06:44 |
| sigma_ | stdin: gdebi strains my poor hard drive | 06:45 |
| vasilisa | k i give up... | 06:45 |
| vasilisa | thanks guys :( | 06:46 |
| sigma_ | stdin: sometimes i wonder what its doing, it also makes my pc's jam, amazingly only the intel ones! | 06:46 |
| stdin | works fine here | 06:46 |
| pastryness | how do i set my default applications for different tasks? for example when i click on a folder i want it to open with krusader instead of Dolphin, and when i click on links i want them to open with firefox instead of konqueror... help please | 06:47 |
| sigma_ | stdin: does it scan the database once or everytime it runs? | 06:47 |
| stdin | it uses apt, so every time I install a .deb | 06:47 |
| sigma_ | stdin: but to be honest i like the feisty package installer better, wish it could be in gutsy | 06:48 |
| stdin | that was just a xterm with dpkg -i :p | 06:48 |
| Dr_willis | thats what i was thinking. :) | 06:48 |
| sigma_ | stdin: yeah kpackage only scans once and then remembers it | 06:48 |
| pastryness | nobody? :( | 06:49 |
| fignew | pastryness: Under System Sttings --> KDE Components you can set some of those | 06:49 |
| sigma_ | oh yes while u guys are here, how do u edit the context menu's in konqueror? (the one that comes up when u right click) | 06:49 |
| fignew | pastryness: I'm wondering why you would want to use Firefox over Konqueror though ;) | 06:49 |
| sigma_ | fignew: konq is rather hopless as i learnt | 06:50 |
| sigma_ | hopeless | 06:50 |
| fignew | hopeless?!? | 06:50 |
| Dr_willis | I perfer firefox :) | 06:50 |
| sigma_ | yeah can't display half the websites i visit properly | 06:50 |
| sigma_ | but i still like it for file browsing, id use it for web as soon as it gets as mature as firefox | 06:51 |
| fignew | sigma_: 1 sec about the context menus, I have a bookmark | 06:51 |
| sigma_ | ok thanks | 06:51 |
| fignew | that's strange... I'm an extremely heavy web browser and have abs. no problem with konq ;) | 06:52 |
| * fignew bets you can't give an example where konqueror fails :) | 06:52 | |
| Dr_willis | Guess they test your 'special' sites with Konqueror? :) | 06:52 |
| sigma_ | fignew: www.axiz.co.za, try navigate that site | 06:53 |
| fignew | sigma_: http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/dot/servicemenus.html and http://legroom.net/2007/04/20/adding-custom-actions-kde-context-menus | 06:53 |
| sigma_ | thanks | 06:53 |
| fignew | sigma_: LOL! it looks better in konqueror than in firefox!! | 06:54 |
| Dr_willis | looks the same here. | 06:54 |
| sigma_ | fignew: yeah but the menu is missing in konq | 06:54 |
| sigma_ | or at least it should be | 06:54 |
| Dr_willis | The site designer needs to be slapped for making everything being in a popup/new window | 06:55 |
| fignew | menu works for me :/ | 06:55 |
| Dr_willis | what menu? i see no menu | 06:56 |
| fignew | Dr_willis: on the top | 06:56 |
| sigma_ | fignew: you mean the dropdown menu at the top (horizontal one) works well for you? | 06:56 |
| fignew | sigma_: yes | 06:56 |
| Dr_willis | that is missing in Konqueror here. | 06:57 |
| sigma_ | yes thats what i was saying! | 06:57 |
| Dr_willis | heh, at the bottom right in konqueror. theres a little 'bug' in the status bar. | 06:57 |

| marx2k | Daisuke: it's a giga competitor :) | 07:46 |
| Daisuke-Ido | !envy | 07:46 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 07:46 |
| Daisuke-Ido | !ati | 07:46 |
| marx2k | but really, it's all the same...the only difference is retention rates | 07:46 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 07:46 |
| sigma_ | Daisuke-Ido: samba and nfs | 07:46 |
| marx2k | Daisuke-ido: newsgroups.com | 07:47 |
| Daisuke-Ido | marx2k: retention plus speed | 07:47 |
| marx2k | mm hmm | 07:47 |
| marx2k | I have a 10MBit download connection, and if Im not saturating it 24/7 with these newsgroups, I feel like Im wasting my money :) | 07:47 |
| jca-DK | Thanks i will check :) | 07:47 |
| sigma_ | marx2k: i wish i had that kinda speed | 07:48 |
| marx2k | sigma: its expensive and only useful if you have access to servers that can keep up that speed with content | 07:49 |
| marx2k | it's 10 down, 1 up | 07:49 |
| marx2k | and its cable, and they block service ports so I cant set up web servers or ftp servers | 07:50 |
| sigma_ | marx2k: isnt it useful for downloading large files? | 07:50 |
| marx2k | sigma: indeed it is. my movie collection has grown exponentially :) | 07:50 |
| sigma_ | Daisuke-Ido: so any ideas on how to make the network work | 07:50 |
| jca-DK | marx2k: nice nice your using newsgroups :) what server you use ? | 07:50 |
| jussi01 | !o4o | marx2k | 07:50 |
| ubotu | marx2k: Some things are inappropriate for #kubuntu. Controversial topics, which always turn into flamewars: war, race, religion, politics (unless related to software licencing), gender, sexuality, drugs, questionable legal activities, removing of oneself from the planet (except by space or time travel) are not for here, perhaps #off-topic or ##politics. Microsoft software in ##windows (Please note Freenode Policy) - Thanks. | 07:50 |

| Daisuke-Ido | sigma_: i'm drawing a blank, other than doublechecking samba settings | 07:51 |
| marx2k | my samba was totally screwed this morning... I fixed it | 07:52 |
| marx2k | but I took a very extreme route in doing so | 07:52 |
| sigma_ | Daisuke-Ido: could windows firewall be a problem? | 07:52 |
| Slynderdale | Can anyone here help me with a network problem in Gutsy Gibbon? For some reason, it won't let me set a Static IP in Gutsy Gibbon while it did in Feisty Fawn using the same information. I ended up doing a clean install of Gutsy Gibbon today to replace Feisty Fawn and ran into this problem. My DHCP IP currently is 192.168.1.100 yet when I try to set the static IP to 192.168.1.105 which I used in Feisty and WIndows, it fails to connect. | 07:52 |
| sigma_ | marx2k: how did u do it? | 07:54 |
| Linux_Galore | Slynderdale: when you have a static ip you dont actually connect | 07:55 |
| marx2k | sigma: I basically removed almost every option from my smb.conf and took it down to workgroup and netbios name for global section and path for share section | 07:55 |
| Linux_Galore | Slynderdale: if you not getting out it usually means you havent set the gateway and the dns properly | 07:56 |
| marx2k | sigma: I was having some serious samba issues before that | 07:56 |
| Linux_Galore | Slynderdale: either that or you havent setup your router properly | 07:57 |
| sigma_ | marx2k: are you connected to your internet router via a lan cable? | 07:57 |
| marx2k | yes | 07:57 |
| marx2k | but also have wireless laptops on the lan | 07:57 |
| Slynderdale | Linux_Galore: They are properly set, thats what confuses me. Heres my before and after interfaces file, my connection info and so on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48296/ | 07:58 |
| Linux_Galore | marx2k: I usually use swat the setup the base conf | 07:58 |
| marx2k | Linux: I was using an awesome program called gsambad | 07:58 |
| marx2k | !info gsambad | 07:58 |
| ubotu | gsambad: GTK+ configuration tool for samba. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.1.6-2ubuntu2 (gutsy), package size 95 kB, installed size 360 kB | 07:58 |
| sigma_ | marx2k: when you connect the lan cable to your pc does the internet just work automatically or do you have to set it up? | 07:58 |
| Linux_Galore | Slynderdale: can you ssh into another machine ? | 07:59 |
| marx2k | marx2k: it works automatically... I mean might have to restart networking in /etc/init.d but generally its automatically | 07:59 |
| Slynderdale | Linux_Galore: No, it doesn't even register my gateway/router. http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48299/ | 07:59 |
| Slynderdale | You can see before then after when I set the static IP and then when I removed it | 08:00 |
| Linux_Galore | Slynderdale: what does ifconfig show | 08:00 |
| sigma_ | marx2k: ah ok i see, always wondered if it did, and how exactly would you share the internet connection on one pc over a linux network? lets assume its not a lan router but rather a usb modem that im using | 08:00 |
| Slynderdale | Linux_Galore: Nothing after its set and before I have in the pastebin. THough if you want, I can get you the actual results though iI will have to reconnect to IRC. | 08:01 |
| marx2k | sigma: Unless youre hooking all your PC's into a centralized router and that router hooks into your gateway, I dont know how to work it | 08:02 |
| Slynderdale | Linux_Galore: Its weird, I used exactly the same settings I used in Feisty Fawn as I did in Gutsy Gibbon yet it worked in FEisty but not in GUtsy and there hasn't been any hardware or network changes since then. | 08:03 |
| sigma_ | marx2k: ok. i just dont understand why it doesn't work if i put default gateway as the pc with the internet connection | 08:03 |
| marx2k | sigma: yeah Im totally clueless about connection sharing | 08:04 |
| sigma_ | marx2k: ok ive edited my samba settings in kcontrol, must i restart my pc for it to take effect or is there a command i can run to restart samba? | 08:05 |
| marx2k | sigma: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 08:05 |
| tehm0nk | it's installing! | 08:05 |
| sigma_ | marx2k: it appeared i had the wrong workgroup name | 08:05 |
| Slynderdale | Linux_Galore: So am I a hopeless case? | 08:06 |
| sigma_ | marx2k: it said command not found | 08:06 |
| marx2k | command not found?? | 08:08 |
| sigma_ | marx2k: suppose it would help if i actually had samba installed :) | 08:08 |
| marx2k | hahaha yeah | 08:08 |

| ubotu | Package smbd does not exist in gutsy | 08:08 |

| sigma_ | marx2k: is that the only one i need? | 08:09 |
| marx2k | let me think here... | 08:09 |
| marx2k | yes, just install the samba package | 08:09 |
| marx2k | !info smbfs | 08:10 |

| marx2k | yep that should do it | 08:10 |
| marx2k | you probably also want.. umm..... | 08:10 |

| marx2k | I forget the package name | 08:11 |
| === ym is now known as SamSpade | ||
| sigma_ | marx2k: will i work just with the samba package? i just want the windows pc to see the linux pc | 08:12 |
| marx2k | it SHOULD... but you MIGHT also need the namebind package... | 08:12 |
| marx2k | nmbd - NetBIOS name server to provide NetBIOS over IP naming services to clients | 08:12 |
| marx2k | oh thats part of the samba suite, so you should be all good actually | 08:13 |
| sigma_ | marx2k: surely it should be a dependency? | 08:13 |
| marx2k | its part of the package | 08:14 |
| sigma_ | il be damned, kubuntu has all the dep's for samba, they should've included it with the default install | 08:14 |
| marx2k | eh... it's just extra files ... most people dont need them and wouldnt know what to do with them | 08:15 |
| marx2k | *most* people have only one computer :) | 08:15 |
| sigma_ | marx2k: oh ok, well let me try download it, hope it worlks | 08:15 |
| sigma_ | marx2k: lol | 08:15 |
| marx2k | it should be | 08:15 |
| marx2k | also you might want to download the gsambad package... it makes setup REALLY easy | 08:16 |
| sigma_ | marx2k: is it just me or is internet alot faster on linux than windows? | 08:16 |
| sigma_ | ok il get that | 08:16 |
| tehm0nk | is there a way to have dual monitors? | 08:16 |
| marx2k | I get better connection rates (lower ping rates, faster download rates) in linux | 08:16 |

| marx2k | use gsambad to set it up | 08:19 |

| marx2k | enjoy , im going to sleep :) | 08:19 |
| tehm0nk | also which nvidia drivers do i use? | 08:19 |

| SatManUK | like dolphin | 09:01 |
| SatManUK | or are you in the folder? | 09:01 |
| SatManUK | usually the reason | 09:01 |
| SatManUK | you cant umount it from within the folder | 09:01 |
| SatManUK | or with any kind of folder viewer open | 09:02 |
| SatManUK | if Dolphin is viewing /media/cdrom - you can't umount /media/cdrom | 09:02 |

| SatManUK | i used to use SuSe but i switched to Kubunutu because its mirrored in Georgia | 09:05 |
| tehm0nk | how would i do that? | 09:05 |

| sylvisj | jpatrick, I can just add nvidia and it'll automatically cycle it? | 10:07 |

| tehm0nk | is what i was getting at all along :-P | 10:31 |
| tehm0nk | i mean i even browsed to there and didn't find it | 10:31 |
| ardchoille | Right, find is doing exactly what it should be doing | 10:31 |

| tehm0nk | is there anything i can do to fix that? | 10:31 |

| avain | Okay, well recently ive installed kubuntu, problem is, i took too much space from my win xp partition, and i need to get it back, im willing to nuke and pave kubuntu if needed, but i need to get my xp part back up, i used xp for my work, and i need the space for when clients need big projects done | 10:50 |
| jpatrick | SatManUK: like in /etc/init.d/ see if there's a postgresql script: if so 'sudo /etc/init.d/postresql start' | 10:50 |
| SatManUK | i guess theres not | 10:51 |
| SatManUK | it says command not found | 10:51 |
| vzduch | if you cp&paste'd it it can't be found :D | 10:51 |
| avain | So, does anybody know? ._. im freaking out, i just had a client talk to me today about a project, and $$$ is important | 10:53 |
| SatManUK | i found it | 10:53 |
| Lynoure | avain: you can use qparted for resizing the partitions back the way you want them, I think, unfortunately you cannot resize mounted partitions and thus need to use a bootable cd for it | 10:53 |
| SatManUK | it says its running | 10:53 |
| SatManUK | but i don't have ownership permisions inorder to restart it | 10:53 |
| avain | <3 Lynoure | 10:53 |
| avain | So, that would allow me to nuke the linix part, then reformat it back to NFTS and merge it with my current win xp part? | 10:54 |
| SatManUK | aha starting PostgreSQL 8.2 database server :) | 10:54 |
| Lynoure | avain: you would not even have to 'nuke' Linux, you can just reduce it's size, if you want. | 10:54 |
| avain | Do you know where i can get the files nessery to get a qparted boot cd going? | 10:54 |

| sangeli | What do I have to do to understan the error and fix it? | 12:25 |
| bsander | only problem is that it needs to backup to a partition that can handle hard links (like ext3) | 12:25 |

| gabriel_ | bsander: no i just want audio chat | 12:38 |
| Lynoure | bsander: thanks for the info. | 12:38 |
| bsander | gabriel_: then 1.4 should do it too: http://www.skype.com/download/skype/linux/ | 12:38 |
| bsander | also a feisty fawn .deb | 12:38 |
| sangeli | ok | 12:39 |
| gabriel_ | yeah but i have only installed via repository install so far... kinda new to linux | 12:39 |
| bsander | however i like the sound support of 2.0 better too, and it hasn't crashed on me once | 12:39 |
| bsander | so i still recommend 2.0 :) | 12:39 |
| bsander | Lynoure: np :) | 12:39 |
| gabriel_ | bsander: can i easily install one of those rpms? will they work for unbuntu? | 12:39 |
| gabriel_ | maybe ubuntu is compatible with mandrake rpms? | 12:40 |
| bsander | gabriel_: there are .debs on those pages, specifically built for ubuntu. Try those. | 12:40 |
| gabriel_ | ok thanks | 12:40 |
| bsander | ubuntu doesnt support rpms, so if you really want those you need to convert them with another package, I believe it's called alien | 12:41 |

| drbobb | unreliable as shit is what it is | 12:51 |
| drbobb | i had to switch off all crypto on my ap to force it to connect today | 12:52 |
| bsander | gabriel_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype | 12:52 |
| sigma_kubuntu | anyone here gotten their nvidia tv out working properly? | 12:54 |
| drbobb | and i still needed to reboot cause the dumb gizmo continued to insist the ap is encrypted | 12:54 |
| drbobb | though it no longer was | 12:54 |
| ibilic | how do I download a single file from the console? | 12:54 |
| drbobb | ibilic: d/l from http://... | 12:55 |
| drbobb | ? | 12:55 |
| drbobb | wget <paste the url here> | 12:55 |
| sigma_kubuntu | i got mine working in feisty but theres no hope in gutsy | 12:55 |
| drbobb | heh i don't really want to keep my ap unecrypted for good, do i | 12:57 |
| sigma_kubuntu | nvidia | 12:57 |
| drbobb | so let's try enabling good ol'wep for a start | 12:57 |
| === NetersLandreau_ is now known as NetersLandreau | ||
| bsander | sigma_kubuntu: yes | 12:58 |
| sigma_kubuntu | bsander: which card do u have? | 12:59 |
| SatManUK | i have installed and can access a PostGreSQL Database - I am trying to install http://www.shcircuit.com/~ross/TuxShop-2.2-i386.deb TuxShop POS to link in with PostGreSQL but it keeps saying unable to connect to MySQL server but its tested with PostGreSQL any ideas? | 12:59 |
| fsckr | ok i am kinda new to kde been using gnome. is there a way i can get rid of this stupid kdwallet crap | 12:59 |
| bsander | geforce 7600 mobile or something | 12:59 |
| nosrednaekim | fsckr: yeah,you can disable the wallet | 13:00 |
| fsckr | well i have already uninstalled it but it still comes up | 13:00 |
| nosrednaekim | fsckr: although kwallet is very useful if you run alot of kde apps (kmail, kopete, konqueror) | 13:00 |
| sigma_kubuntu | bsander: how did u do it? i hav a 6600gt | 13:00 |
| fsckr | no it annoys me everytime i run something with a password it pops up | 13:01 |
| bsander | fsckr: you can let kwallet have an empty password, so it still gets used but doesn't bother you anymore | 13:01 |
| ibilic | drbobb: yes, wget did it, thanks | 13:01 |
| drbobb | damn | 13:01 |
| drbobb | no good, network manager insists on using the old crypto config it has remembered | 13:01 |
| drbobb | hey can anyone gimme a hint on what to do about it?? | 13:02 |
| bsander | sigma_kubuntu: i used nvidia-settings, mostly. But i have a strange setup, already have dual head and use the tv only for movies.. | 13:02 |
| === masy is now known as masy_ | ||
| bsander | but first, try nvidia-settings, works great most of the time | 13:03 |

| flha | ho | 13:04 |
| vzduch | what's the error? | 13:04 |
| test_ | I have two / in mounts | 13:04 |
| test_ | I need to remove the wrong one but I always get busy device | 13:04 |
| vzduch | I don't think that's possible.. | 13:05 |
| drbobb | or is it just me that is struggling with the general flakiness of networkmanager vs wireless?? | 13:05 |
| sigma_kubuntu | bsander: i also want to use tv only for movies. i tried nvidia settings. it doesnt do anything - how do i force tv detection? | 13:05 |
| nosrednaekim | two / mounts? unless its a merged FS, thats impossible. | 13:05 |
| test_ | everytime I change fstab and reboot it goes back to original and does not retain my changes | 13:05 |
| nosrednaekim | sigma_kubuntu: no clue, I just know how to do it on my ATI | 13:06 |
| nosrednaekim | try the command line nvidia-settings | 13:06 |
| bsander | sigma_kubuntu: i'll show you how I'm doing it, just a sec. | 13:06 |
| vzduch | test_: 'mount' --> pastebin please | 13:06 |
| test_ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48321/ | 13:07 |
| test_ | /dev/sda6 is the correct partition where /home resides | 13:07 |
| test_ | after upgrading kubuntu I got this mess | 13:07 |
| vzduch | strange | 13:08 |
| test_ | yes | 13:08 |
| kuroryuu | test_: what's your fstab look like? | 13:08 |
| vzduch | only thing I can think of is: use a live CD to correct the fstab & reboot | 13:08 |
| drbobb | why a live cd? why not just fix it now & reboot? | 13:09 |
| test_ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48325/ | 13:09 |
| kuroryuu | drbobb: cause it'll just update the fstab in the home dir and not in the real / | 13:10 |
| test_ | because anytime I reboot the changes I make to fstab are erased and the file is brought to prior setting | 13:10 |
| test_ | If I choose to boot off the live cd, what do I have to do_ | 13:11 |
| test_ | ? | 13:11 |
| kuroryuu | though you could umount /dev/sda5 and mount it as something else to change the fstab there, then make sure grub's booting the right partition as / | 13:11 |
| test_ | but if I do so I get this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48326/ | 13:12 |
| kuroryuu | test_: try lsof | grep /dev/sda5 | 13:12 |
| kuroryuu | it'll tell you what's using that mount | 13:13 |
| test_ | I get empty line | 13:14 |
| kuroryuu | odd... | 13:14 |
| test_ | even if I add mount -f it does not work | 13:14 |
| test_ | yes | 13:14 |
| kuroryuu | basically you should boot up on the livecd and mount /desv/sda5 and change the fstab to the correct setting | 13:14 |
| test_ | I will try | 13:15 |
| test_ | thks for now. | 13:15 |
| test_ | ........ | 13:15 |
| drbobb | kuroryuu: what are u talking about | 13:15 |
| kuroryuu | drbobb: which part do you mean? | 13:16 |
| drbobb | <kuroryuu> drbobb: cause it'll just update the fstab in the home dir and not in the real / | 13:16 |
| drbobb | this part | 13:16 |
| kuroryuu | because he had his home directory mounted as / somehow | 13:16 |
| drbobb | aah sorry missed that | 13:16 |
| drbobb | had stuff seriously fscked up then | 13:17 |
| bsander | sigma_kubuntu: I have this script: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48322/ and this xorg-conf-tv: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48324/ which is used in the script | 13:18 |
| bsander | it creates a new xsession on the tv and starts mplayer on it | 13:18 |
| drbobb | ok so can anyone claim that he/she has a setup such that networkmanager just works w/wireless? | 13:20 |
| drbobb | i wanna know the secret to make it so | 13:20 |
| sigma_kubuntu | bsander: let me copy those links down and log into irc on my pc. im browsing on my phone now | 13:20 |
| bsander | hehe ok | 13:21 |
| kuroryuu | drbobb: not that it's much help, but my wireless worked 'out of the box' | 13:22 |
| drbobb | my story is that n.m. seems to work fine with my ap for days | 13:22 |
| drbobb | but then one day decides it no longer wants to cooperate | 13:23 |
| drbobb | so day 1: it connects but disconnects after a minute or two | 13:23 |
| drbobb | lather rinse repeat | 13:23 |
| drbobb | day 2: won't associate at all | 13:24 |
| kuroryuu | odd... what kinda card is it? | 13:24 |
| drbobb | broadcom 4318 | 13:24 |
| sigma_ | bsander: its me sigma_kubuntu | 13:24 |
| drbobb | i tried both ndiswrapper and bcm43xx | 13:24 |
| sigma_ | bsander: how do i use the scripts? | 13:24 |
| drbobb | but it makes no difference, dooesn't seem to be a driver problem | 13:24 |
| kuroryuu | have you tried tinkering with your access point? | 13:25 |
| drbobb | power-cycling the ap seems to help for a while sometimes | 13:25 |
| drbobb | but then, sometimes it doesn't | 13:25 |
| drbobb | iwlist scan reports the ap correctly, with good signal quality | 13:26 |
| sigma_ | bsander: are u still there? | 13:26 |
| bsander | sigma_: theres one script | 13:26 |
| drbobb | i tried tinkering with the crypto settings | 13:26 |
| bsander | run it with the path to a video | 13:26 |
| drbobb | but when i downgraded the crypto, from wpa2-psk to wep | 13:27 |
| bsander | the second is an xorg.conf script | 13:27 |
| bsander | put it in /etc/X11 | 13:27 |
| drbobb | networkmanager insists on using the old settings, and of course fails | 13:27 |
| bsander | (dont overwrite your xorg.conf!!!) | 13:27 |
| bsander | the script uses it for the second xsession | 13:27 |
| drbobb | only thing that works is switching off all crypto on the ap | 13:27 |
| sigma_ | bsander: ah i see, but is it for s-video or composite? | 13:28 |
| bsander | s-video | 13:28 |
| drbobb | oh i also changed the channel # on the ap to one that's unused in my neighborhood | 13:29 |
| drbobb | made no difference either | 13:29 |
| sigma_ | bsander: is svideo the cable with lots of pins in it? | 13:29 |
| bsander | sigma_: http://z.about.com/d/hometheater/1/7/C/9/svideo2.JPG | 13:30 |
| sigma_ | bsander: yup thats it:) | 13:30 |
| bsander | good :) | 13:31 |
| sigma_ | bsander: no wait mine has more holes in it | 13:31 |
| sigma_ | bsander: what does a composite look like? | 13:31 |
| kuroryuu | sigma_: big, single pin, usually with a yellow jacket | 13:32 |
| bsander | sigma_: http://www.hometheatermag.com/images/archivesart/1105hook.3.jpg | 13:32 |
| === mikka is now known as fay_elf | ||
| bsander | so thats less holes ;) | 13:33 |
| sigma_ | bsander: ok no thats what goes in my tv, so it must be a composite (i have a converter cable) | 13:33 |
| fay_elf | hi! to be able to burn audio cd's of mp3's using k3b, what package should i install? | 13:33 |
| sigma_ | ok so where do i put the name of the video file? | 13:34 |
| bsander | what matters is the tv-out port i think | 13:34 |
| bsander | i have s-video, but use a scart to connect it to my tv | 13:34 |
| === sergey is now known as error | ||
| drbobb | ok i'll be trying to switch crypto back on but i'm fairly sure that will force me to reboot | 13:34 |
| sigma_ | bsander: yeah i guess so, so must i name the xorg file u gave me xorg-conf-tv? | 13:35 |
| drbobb | (there doesn't seem to be any easy way to restart just the networkmanager service) | 13:35 |
| === error is now known as \-error | ||
| === \-error is now known as sergey | ||
| bsander | yes | 13:36 |
| sigma__ | bsander: sorry i disconnected my internet by mistake | 13:37 |
| fay_elf | ok got it anyway libk3b2-mp3 | 13:37 |
| sigma__ | bsander: i have renamed the xorg file to xorg-conf-tv , whats the next step? | 13:38 |
| bsander | run the script with a path to a movie. Note that your normal monitor will go blank as it switches xsessions, so it's not possible to keep on browsing while watching the video | 13:39 |
| bsander | when the movie finishes or you press escape, you'll get back to the normal session again | 13:39 |
| sigma__ | bsander: where do i put the path to the movie? | 13:40 |
| bsander | i set it up like that cause i already have a dual head session and most GPU's don't seem to be able to output to 3 different screens.. | 13:40 |
| bsander | just run tv-script.sh /home/me/movie.avi | 13:40 |
| bsander | or however you named the script ;) | 13:41 |
| sigma__ | bsander: oh ok, are you sure the xorg file should be named xorg-conf-tv and not xorg.conf.tv? | 13:42 |
| bsander | yes | 13:42 |
| bsander | you can change it, but then also change it in the last line of the script :) | 13:42 |
| sigma__ | ok | 13:42 |
| sigma__ | guess i should give it a try | 13:43 |
| sigma__ | bsander: it keeps saying "command not found"? | 13:44 |
| bsander | which command? | 13:45 |
| sigma__ | bsander: heres the command "tv-script.sh /home/sigma/sdb1/Media-Server/Thirteen" | 13:45 |
| sigma__ | im running it in Konsole | 13:45 |
| bsander | does it say which command it can't find? | 13:45 |
| sigma__ | it says "bash: script.sh: command not found" | 13:46 |
| vzduch | sigma__: buy glasses :P | 13:47 |
| vzduch | there's a dash in there | 13:47 |
| sigma__ | bsander: ok i got it going but it just ends saying with a big error, hang on il paste it | 13:48 |
| bsander | k | 13:48 |
| nosrednaekim | shouldn't Thirteen have a filetype suffix? | 13:49 |
| sigma__ | nosrednaekim: i removed them, still works for some reason | 13:49 |
| MGalaxy | Hello, how can I add some ADSL Connections with different UN/PW? so that I can connect whit the connection I want | 13:49 |
| MGalaxy | with* | 13:50 |
| nosrednaekim | sigma__: i'd put it back... its helpful for programs sometimes | 13:50 |
| sigma__ | ok will do | 13:50 |
| sigma__ | bsander: heres the error - "http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48328/" | 13:50 |
| bsander | sigma__: you dont have xterm | 13:51 |

| === rjb is now known as drbobb_ | ||
| drbobb_ | damn i can't tweak the crypto settings on my ap at all | 13:53 |
| sigma__ | um guys my pc isnt allowing me to open any apps since running that script | 13:53 |
| drbobb_ | network manager always insists on using the old ones it remembered, even after a reboot | 13:54 |
| sigma__ | hang on im gona restart x | 13:54 |
| drbobb_ | it's either all crypto off, or the exact settings that used to work in the past | 13:55 |
| MGalaxy | hello? | 13:55 |
| drbobb_ | (but don;t seem to work anymore) | 13:55 |
| nosrednaekim | drbobb_: did you try a purge of knetworkmanager and a reinstall? | 13:55 |
| drbobb_ | nosrednaekim: no, but do you suggest that is what one should do every time one changes some settings on one's accesspoint? | 13:56 |
| sigma__ | ok im back now | 13:56 |
| nosrednaekim | drbobb_: certainly not, but Knetworkmanager is also a piece of pure bugginess. | 13:57 |
| ibilic | in Disks and Filesystems, what does the "Enable" checkbox do? | 13:57 |
| drbobb_ | anyway i'm sure it keeps the ap settings somewhere in my home dir | 13:57 |
| nosrednaekim | ibilic: it mounts it | 13:58 |
| ibilic | also, how do I see a list of mounted partitions? | 13:58 |
| drbobb_ | and purging the package would't get rid of them | 13:58 |
| ibilic | and how do I see a list of mountable devices? | 13:58 |
| sigma__ | bsander: i got the xterm installed, should i try running the command? | 13:58 |
| ibilic | but I have some partitions that are there and have the Enable/Disable option and some of them don't | 13:58 |
| MGalaxy | drbobb_: Hello, how can I add some ADSL Connections with different UN/PW? so that I can connect whit the connection I want | 13:58 |
| bsander | yes :) | 13:59 |
| drbobb_ | MGalaxy: sorry no idea | 13:59 |
| bsander | you could also just sit there and watch your screen, but I think trying to run the command would be a tad more useful ;) | 14:00 |
| kaminix | Do I actually need Klipper running? | 14:00 |
| kaminix | Do I need it to use ctrl+c? | 14:00 |
| sigma__ | bsander: i got a picture:) but on my monitor because its not hooked 2da tv, il have to carry the pc over there, is it normal for the command to revert back to my monitor if no tv is attached? | 14:01 |
| bsander | er | 14:01 |
| bsander | i don't know really | 14:01 |
| sigma__ | kaminix: its good for storing stuff u copied | 14:01 |
| bsander | you just got it on your regular monitor? | 14:01 |
| sigma__ | bsander: yup | 14:01 |
| sigma__ | bsander: lemme just try it on the tv, will u still b around? | 14:02 |
| bsander | yeah i'll be here for about 20 more minutes | 14:02 |
| kaminix | sigma__: What if I only need the thing I copied last? If I don't really need anything except ctrl+c/v and ctrl+middleclick? | 14:02 |
| bsander | is that enough? | 14:02 |
| bsander | kaminix: X sometimes acts really strange with c/p | 14:03 |
| sigma__ | bsander: should be, one quik thing - will this also work on a ati laptop chipset? | 14:03 |
| bsander | for instance when you copy something and then quit the app, your clipboard will be empty without kl;ipper | 14:03 |
| bsander | I couldn't say really, don't count on it since I generated the xorgconf with nvidia-settings | 14:03 |
| bsander | but it might work, i truly don't know :) | 14:04 |
| kaminix | I see... well is there anyway to hide klipper then? | 14:04 |
| bsander | you can configure your systemtray to hide certain icons, kaminix | 14:04 |
| kaminix | How? | 14:04 |
| kaminix | Aha! | 14:04 |
| kaminix | Found it! :) Thanks! | 14:04 |

| patricio | Hi all, how do I have to configure my kubuntu to work with tv-out(s-video)? | 14:12 |
| JohnFlux | bsander: you could run 'mount' - that will tell you | 14:12 |
| nosrednaekim | bsander: I think there are links on the left side of the app with all the available devices | 14:12 |
| drbobb | ok, well partial success: i got my laptop to associate with the ap. however, dhcp failed repeatedly | 14:12 |
| nosrednaekim | ferox: whats wrong with that? | 14:12 |
| ferox | my pixell are wrong | 14:13 |
| drbobb | that was with wep encryption | 14:13 |
| ferox | every pixell is moving... | 14:13 |

| fox | hi | 14:14 |
| JohnFlux | bsander: i'm not sure what that is heh | 14:14 |
| drbobb | nosrednaekim: the trick was to ask for a network by name and not pick it out of knetworkmanager's menu | 14:14 |
| === fox is now known as BPXtr | ||
| nosrednaekim | bsander: are the really really long numbers? like UUIDs? | 14:14 |

| bsander | no | 14:14 |
| JohnFlux | bsander: file a bug on bugs.kde.org to show mount names or something | 14:14 |
| bsander | first number is either 1 or 8 | 14:14 |
| JohnFlux | bsander: and I'll fix it | 14:14 |
| drbobb | that forces the buggy p.o.s. to ask for the auth data again | 14:14 |
| JohnFlux | bsander: it's the major and minor number | 14:14 |
| nosrednaekim | drbobb: ahh, well with WEP, you can do it from the command line very easily | 14:14 |
| bsander | second number is in range 0-33 | 14:14 |
| bsander | JohnFlux: I will :) | 14:15 |
| JohnFlux | bsander: ls -la /dev/hd* will list the major and minor numbers | 14:15 |
| JohnFlux | bsander: for your hard disks | 14:15 |
| nosrednaekim | bsander: ah.... grub device names I guess. | 14:15 |
| drbobb | iwconfig was correct but dhcp failed anyway | 14:15 |
| JohnFlux | nosrednaekim: nah probably major and minor numbers for the device | 14:15 |
| BPXtr | firefox didn't open after i update ubuntu 7.04 to 7.1, does somebody know why? | 14:15 |

| SatManUK | apache2 | 14:24 |
| SatManUK | so it reads the httpd.conf file | 14:24 |
| nosrednaekim | SatManUK: probably in /etc/init.d | 14:25 |
| BPXtr | u mean to delete that folder at all? | 14:25 |
| nosrednaekim | BPXtr: yes, everything in it which will erase your bookmarks | 14:25 |
| BPXtr | finally... | 14:26 |
| BPXtr | thank you! | 14:26 |
| BPXtr | do u have any idea about "Reason"? | 14:27 |

| Rafabe | hi | 14:37 |
| Rafabe | i have xubuntu, and want to install kde. It says it has to download 150mb. I have a Kubutu CD, is there any way I can have it use those files instead? | 14:37 |
| jpatrick | Rafabe: apt-cdrom add | 14:38 |
| Rafabe | I type that at the terminal? | 14:40 |
| SatManUK | im trying to run perl scripts in konqueror and firefox but they are asking to open wine - why? | 14:40 |
| Rafabe | got it working, thanks | 14:42 |
| Kingzar | Hey how can i automaticly start a program from reboot? | 14:42 |
| murali | hi | 14:43 |
| LjL | !startup | Kingzar | 14:43 |
| ubotu | Kingzar: To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 14:43 |
| crush_groove | kingzar Id =f there isnt an option to do that in the programs prefs you can crontab it | 14:43 |
| LjL | uhm, this would need a Kubuntu factoid | 14:43 |
| murali | could any one help me? | 14:43 |
| Rafabe | one more question: I put the the OS on a 5gb partition, and plan on using my 60gb partition for file storage. How can I have it store downloaded packages on the 60gb drive, so that if I format and reinstall in the future, it doesn't have to redownload everything? There's gotta be somewhere I can define the local package save folder, right? | 14:44 |
| Kingzar | i don't have gnome! | 14:44 |
| LjL | Kingzar: just open the programs you want to be started (and nothing else), and Save Session from the K menu | 14:44 |
| bsander | Kingzar: ln -s [programname] ~/.kde/Autostart/[programname] | 14:44 |
| bsander | but letting KDE save your session is better | 14:45 |
| bsander | what LjL said | 14:45 |
| Kingzar | my knotes didn't start this time | 14:45 |
| Kingzar | and superkaramba neither | 14:45 |
| matttis | hi | 14:47 |
| LjL | !startup-#kubuntu is <reply> To make programs start up automatically when you log into your KDE session, run all programs that you want to be started and close all other programs, then select 'Save Session' in the K menu. Alternatively, create a !symlink to the wanted program in ~/.kde/Autostart - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 14:47 |
| ubotu | I'll remember that, LjL | 14:47 |
| murali | I installed Kbuntu system went out of range in resolution | 14:47 |
| matttis | LjL: cool, thats what i need :-) | 14:48 |

| user_ | hi all... i was wondering how to stop certain programs from loading at startup. In GNOME, its simple, but I can't find it in KDE (7,10). | 15:34 |
| bsander | hehe rheres some echo here :P | 15:35 |
| bsander | !startup | user_ | 15:35 |
| ubotu | user_: To make programs start up automatically when you log into your KDE session, run all programs that you want to be started and close all other programs, then select 'Save Session' in the K menu. Alternatively, create a !symlink to the wanted program in ~/.kde/Autostart - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot | 15:35 |
| BluesKaj | user_, kdesu konqueror /usr/share/autostart...remove whatever app you want if it's listed there | 15:36 |
| user_ | ok, but how do i *stop* programs from loading at startup? That didn't answer my question | 15:36 |
| user_ | aha... /usr/share/autostart? | 15:36 |
| bsander | yes it did, close the program and save your session. Next time, the program shouldn't start. | 15:36 |
| bsander | no, ~/.kde/Autostart but it's usually empty | 15:37 |
| fsckr | nobody has answered my question. I was wondering if anyone is using only kiba-dock or awn as their panel | 15:37 |
| user_ | bsander: thats in your home folder, not in /usr | 15:37 |
| bsander | yes | 15:37 |
| BluesKaj | user_, /usr/share/autostart is the file to use | 15:37 |
| gabbbbbba | hi, kubuntu 7.10, all bug fixes und patches are installed, no kde 4, problem: hibernate doesnT work!!! i have fluxbuntu too and hibernate does work although both are gutsy gibbon!! o_O | 15:38 |
| BluesKaj | you can also add apps if you wish | 15:38 |
| user_ | blueskaj: thanks - people were telling me ~/.autostart, which was empty! | 15:38 |
| bsander | ah, didn't know that one :) | 15:38 |
| user_ | blueskaj: also, I don't plan on printing with this particular computer - what programs can i safely remove? | 15:38 |
| bsander | but why does this stuff get written it to /usr/share instead of ~/.kde? | 15:39 |
| BluesKaj | bsander, one of the heavy hitters here told me about that one , cuz i had a similar request | 15:39 |
| gabbbbbba | hello, hibernate doesnT work!!! gutsy gibbon 7.10 | 15:39 |
| BluesKaj | !patience | gabbbbbba | 15:40 |
| ubotu | gabbbbbba: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines | 15:40 |
| onishidato | fsckr: how can i use it now? | 15:40 |
| onishidato | fsckr: krdc | 15:40 |

| bsander | for s multi-user setup? | 15:41 |
| bsander | s=a | 15:41 |
| BluesKaj | dunno bsander , I didn't ask :) | 15:41 |
| bsander | ok :) | 15:41 |
| user_ | blueskaj bsander: in any event, that advice is good. I didn't need the bluetooth loading up every time i booted. Thanks guys | 15:42 |
| BluesKaj | I just put the questiona nd it's answer into my text file | 15:42 |
| user_ | can i remove CUPS if i don't use a printer? | 15:43 |
| BluesKaj | why bother | 15:43 |
| user_ | blueskaj: because its another module (not sure if thats the proper terminology) that i can see gets loaded on each boot. I don't need it, do I? | 15:44 |
| bsander | user_: some programs depend on cups, even if you don't want to print with them | 15:44 |
| user_ | im on an older laptop, and want the slimmest system possible to optimize performance | 15:44 |
| BluesKaj | user_, if you wish, it doesn't delete the app tho , the daemon wont run is all | 15:44 |
| onishidato | fsckr: how can i use it now? | 15:45 |
| user_ | bsander: thanks for the info... i won't eff with it then :) | 15:45 |
| finek | what i must do to watch videos on youtube, i have konqueror | 15:45 |
| user_ | finek: install flash | 15:45 |
| bsander | user_: you can try disabling it in systemsettings, then if something messes up you can turn it on again | 15:45 |
| bsander | if you really really want it gone from startup | 15:45 |
| BluesKaj | user_, you can check in system settings/advanced /system services | 15:45 |
| bsander | systemsettings -> advanced -> system services | 15:46 |
| bsander | yeah what he said :) | 15:46 |
| user_ | bsander: I don't think i want to mess with it.... I'm on my third install of 7,10, and i promised myself this with be the last one until Hardy comes out >:) | 15:46 |
| bsander | hehehe | 15:46 |
| user_ | i just love how customizable ubuntu is - i've only been using it for a few months (windows refugee) | 15:47 |
| user_ | plus, the real-time help from you guys is great, too. | 15:47 |
| bsander | yeah, don't worry, most of us had some borked installs in the past :) | 15:47 |
| bsander | I remember them all too well | 15:48 |
| LamerMan | hi guys, i'm looking for the source code of pthread, some standard library functions... are they available in some deb packages? I'm new to linux and just don't know where to look for it. | 15:48 |
| BluesKaj | for example , wife likes british series like Duchess of Duke Street and it's apretty large torrent file , so I set up ktorrent to start up in the autostart file , without having to click on it every morning | 15:48 |
| bsander | but the good thing is that they really teach you an understanding of the system | 15:48 |
| user_ | it was a whole new world for me - i tweaked *everything* - usually stuff worked as i wanted (i was following tutorials), but i definitely borked some settings beyond my repairing ability :) | 15:48 |
| bsander | and after a while you can even fix your system instead of having to reinstall it ;) | 15:49 |
| crush_groove | I installed gnome dt beside my kde yesterday and I want to remove it. what is line? I tried "sudo apt-get remove --purge gnome" didnt work | 15:49 |
| cosenal | hi | 15:49 |
| user_ | bsander: i've been getting better- i have learned this "ALWAYS make backups of any important file you are going to alter" . That always helps | 15:49 |
| bsander | yup, that's definitely the smart thing to do :) | 15:50 |
| hoiAn | hi | 15:50 |
| cosenal | is it normal that since the upgrade to 7.10 (one month ago or more) kubuntu never asked me about updates? | 15:50 |
| BluesKaj | yup user_ , bsander done that too , this around my 12th or so linux distro and my 5th kubuntu :) | 15:50 |
| user_ | haha :) | 15:50 |
| bsander | cosenal: do you have adept_notifier running? | 15:51 |
| user_ | ok thanks again guys, i'm going to eat some breakfast | 15:51 |
| bsander | ok bye | 15:51 |
| BluesKaj | crush_groove, sudo apt-get remove gnome-desktop | 15:51 |
| cosenal | bsander: yes | 15:51 |
| BluesKaj | crush_groove,, it'll remove all the gnome apps | 15:52 |
| crush_groove | Reply: couldnt find package gnome-desktop | 15:52 |
| cosenal | even if I fetch the updates on Adept Manager it just allows me to Full Upgrade the system, but it doesn't make sense because it's already upgraded | 15:52 |
| dreamcoder | kubuntu 64bit or 32bit? | 15:53 |
| bsander | cosenal: upgrading means that there are newer versions of some packages, not an upgrade from feisty to gutsy or something | 15:53 |
| bsander | Adepts status bar should tell you if there are new/upgradable packages | 15:53 |
| bsander | "full upgrade" will install the upgradable packages | 15:54 |
| cosenal | bsander: no, sorry...I mean "Version Upgrade" is the only possibility | 15:54 |
| bsander | oh | 15:54 |
| bsander | you're on gutsy? | 15:54 |
| cosenal | 7.10 | 15:55 |
| bsander | yeah | 15:55 |
| bsander | and you upgraded from 7.04? | 15:55 |
| cosenal | yes | 15:55 |
| bsander | that all went well? nor errors or something? | 15:55 |
| cosenal | yes | 15:55 |
| cosenal | and after I upgraded (reinstalled) using the cd | 15:55 |
| BluesKaj | cosenal, that's a known bug , but I don't remember the fix | 15:56 |
| cosenal | BluesKaj: where can I find the fix? | 15:56 |
| BluesKaj | cosenal, one thing you could do is defeat the adept notifier and just wait til somebody more knowledgeable can tell you | 15:57 |
| BluesKaj | but I'd search on google linux or launchpad | 15:58 |
| BluesKaj | in the meantime use apt to or synaptic to install apps | 15:58 |
| cosenal | ok | 15:58 |
| cosenal | for the first month of usage I supposed that no updates were avaiable | 15:59 |
| BluesKaj | !launchpad | 15:59 |
| cosenal | but this begins to sound weird... | 15:59 |
| ubotu | Launchpad is a collection of development services for Open Source projects. It's Ubuntu's bug tracker, and much more; see https://launchpad.net/ | 15:59 |
| cosenal | BluesKaj: I don't know what I can look for | 16:01 |
| cosenal | ... | 16:01 |

| nosrednaekim | Kingzar: you need that kdmtheme package ^^ | 17:55 |
| ciperlone | zphinx: use ENVY | 17:55 |
| zphinx | ciperlone: whats that? | 17:55 |
| nosrednaekim | !envy | 17:55 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 17:55 |

| ciperlone | nosrednaekim:why? | 17:55 |
| ijn | web sites like youtube stage6 and moviebar.org | 17:55 |
| nosrednaekim | zphinx: remove the "composite disable" section from your xorg | 17:56 |
| MilitantPotato | Envy very rarely works, and when it does break your drivers no-one will be willing to help ya repair it | 17:56 |
| ijn | in gnome totem with gstreamer was fine | 17:56 |
| nosrednaekim | ciperlone: because it is unsupported and potentially dangerous | 17:56 |

| nosrednaekim | lg288: thats not the correct module for changing the theme | 17:59 |

| nosrednaekim | earthsound: although there is a good chance that the grub settings will be the same | 18:59 |
| MilitantPotato | yea grub should detect the XP install | 19:00 |
| earthsound | nosrednaekim: i chose to manually edit the partitions and selected to reformat the previous / partition and use the same /swap as well. the others are not going to be overwritten | 19:00 |
| MilitantPotato | earthsound: if grub is on the linux partition it will get erased when you format | 19:01 |
| earthsound | i.e. i will leave the main windows partition, the shared ntfs partition and the /home paritition intact | 19:01 |
| MilitantPotato | earthsound: unless you did some customization to grub it should work the same after 7.10 is installed | 19:01 |
| MilitantPotato | earthsound: you'll need to set the /home mount point again | 19:02 |
| MilitantPotato | you won't need to format it, just set the path as /home | 19:02 |
| earthsound | MilitantPotato: so grub should be smart enough to detect the windows partition and put the correct parameters in? | 19:02 |
| nosrednaekim | earthsound: if it did it with 6.06, yes, it will | 19:02 |
| earthsound | yes, you're right, I forgot to point to the /home | 19:02 |

| Oakbox | MilitantPotato: Is there an easy fix to a trashed grub? i have unfortunatly aquired one :) a nice xmas present from windows.... | 19:06 |
| MilitantPotato | Oakbox: several, you can create a grub installer floppy, manually edit grub, or get a ISO like "The Ultimate Boot CD", it comes with the grub installer | 19:07 |
| MilitantPotato | Oakbox: if windows broke grub, you'll need to re-install it. | 19:07 |

| Oakbox | MilitantPotato: ta ok i will go look thanks :) | 19:10 |
| Dr_willis | Grub is one of those tools thats so fundamental to linux - that it pays to spend a few hrs reading/learning about it. | 19:11 |
| MilitantPotato | what's the other popular boot manager? | 19:11 |
| Dr_willis | LILO used to be common. | 19:11 |
| MilitantPotato | Lilo, thanks | 19:11 |
| Dr_willis | But lilo is a bit out of date and has issues on many systems. Well not as bad as it used to be.. :) | 19:12 |
| sigma_kubuntu | anyone here used limewire for linux? | 19:12 |
| MilitantPotato | limewire is evil :) | 19:13 |
| Dr_willis | !limewire | 19:13 |
| ubotu | limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative. | 19:13 |
| Dr_willis | I perfer Frostwire :) | 19:13 |
| Dr_willis | !frostwire | 19:13 |
| ubotu | frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire. For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire | 19:13 |
| sigma_kubuntu | does frostwire use the limewire network? | 19:14 |
| Dr_willis | Both are GNUTELLA NETWORK clients | 19:14 |
| LjL | !gnutella | 19:14 |
| ubotu | Gnutella clients: GTK-Gnutella (GTK, stand-alone), gifTui, giFToxic (GTK, based on giFT), Apollon (KDE, based on giFT), mldonkey-gui (GTK, based on MLDonkey), KMLDonkey (KDE, based on MLDonkey), !Limewire, !Frostwire (Java, not in the !repositories) - See also !P2P | 19:14 |
| Dr_willis | :) its not limewires network. | 19:14 |
| Dr_willis | and frostwire works great for me. | 19:15 |
| sigma_kubuntu | so basically limewire is a client to the gnutella network that u just use to access it? | 19:17 |
| LjL | just like all filesharing clients are clients to some network | 19:18 |
| sigma_kubuntu | oh i thought limewire was a network on its own | 19:19 |
| sigma_kubuntu | my bad! | 19:19 |
| LjL | no, limewire is just a program | 19:19 |

| penguin42 | nosrednaekim: OK, will give it a go | 19:40 |
| tehm0nk | i'm having tons of issues | 19:40 |
| tehm0nk | and i'bve messed with it so much that i messed up my vista boot process | 19:41 |
| jordan__ | Anyone remember using the GL Carousel screensaver? I'm using Gutsy and I can't seem to find the darn thing. | 19:41 |
| tehm0nk | so... i have to use the super grub disk to boot into windows. | 19:41 |
| tehm0nk | i still cannot get grub to boot the linux partitions either i think they are too far into the hard drive to boot supposedly | 19:41 |
| jordan__ | tehm0nk: hahah | 19:42 |
| penguin42 | nosrednaekim: Ah yes, that did the trick! There seems to be lots of apport reported Xephyr crashes - might not be that stable yet | 19:42 |
| _nix_ | tehm0nk: as long as grub is reachable to the BIOS it doesn't matter where the rest of the stuff is | 19:42 |
| tehm0nk | but how do i do that? | 19:42 |

| tehm0nk | can Grub be on the partition that is actually windows boot & it's pagefile partition? | 19:43 |
| nosrednaekim | penguin42: its not an xephyr problem, its a startkde problem, or maybe even a packaging bug.... in any case it crashes X as well if you run it standalone | 19:43 |
| jordan__ | ping | 19:44 |
| nosrednaekim | pong | 19:44 |
| jordan__ | nosrednaekim: thx | 19:44 |
| jordan__ | nosrednaekim: You using gutsy? | 19:45 |
| nosrednaekim | jordan__: yes | 19:45 |
| jordan__ | nosrednaekim: have you found the carousel GL screensaver that use to come with the previous release? | 19:45 |
| penguin42 | nosrednaekim: Ah nasty; if X is crashing then it's most likely an X server problem - apps shouldn't be able to segfault the X server | 19:45 |
| nosrednaekim | penguin42: the problem is that kde can't find that file and crashes | 19:46 |
| penguin42 | hmm annoying - it managed to do stuff to the main display as well | 19:46 |
| nosrednaekim | jordan__: I don't use GL screensavers | 19:46 |
| penguin42 | nosrednaekim: No, the X server is segfaulting - that's not KDEs fault (even if KDE is dying) | 19:46 |
| nosrednaekim | ah. | 19:46 |
| jordan__ | nosrednaekim: ok.. thanks | 19:46 |
| penguin42 | however that fix does stop whatever it did to the X server that upset it | 19:47 |
| penguin42 | plasma is pretty | 19:47 |
| nosrednaekim | lol | 19:47 |
| tehm0nk | Right now GRUB seems to be reachable to the bios, it would try to boot, but it would just like Run grub | 19:48 |

| tehm0nk | install it where? | 20:21 |
| tehm0nk | lol | 20:21 |
| martijn81 | in the MBR, i guess that would be 0 | 20:21 |
| nosredna_ekim | earl_: whats the last instruction? | 20:22 |

| earl_ | "To avoid having to start a second X server for a full session install xserver-xephyr and run Xephyr :1 & export DISPLAY=:1; xterm and run startkde in the Xerphyr xterm." | 20:22 |
| nosredna_ekim | earl_: no need to do that, just run it from kdm | 20:23 |
| earl_ | as in, when it asks me for a username and password, pick "kde4" | 20:23 |
| martijn81 | earl: that is if you want to emulate the OS | 20:23 |
| earl_ | right? | 20:23 |
| earl_ | oh. | 20:23 |

| mark__ | Are you sure you wouldn't prefer to smuggle plutonium in your underwear? | 20:35 |
| Artimus | Command line time... | 20:35 |
| tehm0nk | jussi01: the links really dont help that much when you're going off of one link to install this or that, then that gives you an error | 20:35 |
| Artimus | GUI's are not getting me anywhere today | 20:35 |
| etfb | shamas: usually that happens to me when I've got the wrong repositories in my source list | 20:35 |
| earl_ | hey is anyone running ATI graphics | 20:35 |
| jussi01 | shamas: click the fetch updates button | 20:35 |
| etfb | shamas: or when the internet connection is down | 20:35 |
| tehm0nk | if i follow the setups instructions for all of them they all fail at a certain point | 20:35 |
| tehm0nk | and there is no explaination | 20:36 |
| jussi01 | earl_: I am, whats up? | 20:36 |
| earl_ | i'm stilll running fglrx 8.42 - is there a newer version? | 20:36 |
| jhutchins | shamas: Are you using the gui or the console? | 20:36 |
| nosredna_ekim | earl_: yes | 20:36 |
| tehm0nk | it is something simple i know it is but no one will go through it with me | 20:36 |
| mark__ | Wait a minute. I already have a KDE OS on CD | 20:36 |
| tehm0nk | by the time i try something they say to do, they quit | 20:36 |
| mark__ | But it's Fedora | 20:36 |
| nosredna_ekim | earl_: 7.11, or 8.43 | 20:36 |
| shamas | jussi01: after I hit ok here, the program is installed however next time i go to install something I have to run this debugger | 20:36 |
| tehm0nk | then it's back to start | 20:36 |
| earl_ | should i just install it using the scrip from ati.com | 20:36 |
| shamas | jhutchins: gui | 20:36 |
| nosredna_ekim | earl_: after uninstall the 8.42, yes | 20:36 |
| earl_ | oh ew how do i do that | 20:36 |
| jhutchins | shamas: Try using aptitude in the console instead, you'll get more meaningful error messages you can use. | 20:37 |
| mark__ | Should I continue downloading Kubuntu or just install Fed 8 instead? :p | 20:37 |
| nosredna_ekim | earl_: run the uninstall script from /usr/share/ati | 20:37 |
| jhutchins | !ati | earl_ | 20:37 |
| ubotu | earl_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 20:37 |
| mark__ | Mike! | 20:37 |
| jhutchins | mark__: I prefer kubuntu to fedora. | 20:38 |
| mark__ | Okay | 20:38 |
| mark__ | Kubby it is then | 20:38 |
| earl_ | that would be fglrx-uninstall.sh right? | 20:38 |
| mark__ | Hwo ready is KDE4? | 20:39 |
| sigma_kubuntu | fedora is useless. its 2commercial. kubuntu is nice and fresh | 20:39 |
| nosredna_ekim | earl_: yup | 20:39 |
| nosredna_ekim | mark__: not very | 20:39 |
| sigma_kubuntu | mark: its geting there. take it 4a test drive | 20:39 |
| shamas | jussi01: where is the fetch updates button? | 20:39 |
| earl_ | okay so after i've uninstalled that, do i need to restart X before installing the new one? | 20:39 |
| === PasteL is now known as Jonas | ||
| nosredna_ekim | nope | 20:39 |
| earl_ | k | 20:40 |
| nosredna_ekim | in fact, don't, because X will crash | 20:40 |
| Artimus | bwahaha... My Pentium 4 is running at 350mhz. Beautiful | 20:40 |
| mark__ | What's the eye candy app for Kubuntu? | 20:40 |
| mark__ | Is that good Arti? | 20:40 |

| Artimus | mark__: It'll jump back up to 2.8ghz when I do something important. | 20:41 |
| mark__ | Oh. I thought it had its own | 20:41 |
| nosredna_ekim | Artimus: heh | 20:41 |
| nosredna_ekim | mark__: kde4 does | 20:41 |
| nosredna_ekim | and kde3 has a pretty puny one. | 20:41 |
| Artimus | nosredna_ekim: I've got it on OnDemand right now. I think that's what I used to use. It sits low until I try to compile. | 20:42 |
| mark__ | Do you people realise I'm replacing my entire operating system because Adobe are too lame to provide proper support for Flash on 64 bit linux? | 20:42 |
| nosredna_ekim | Artimus: yup. | 20:42 |
| nosredna_ekim | mark__: eh? what do you have installed right now? | 20:42 |
| mark__ | Xubuntu | 20:42 |
| nosredna_ekim | mark__: gutsy? | 20:42 |
| earl_ | excellent - so now i can quit this session, restart X, and choose KDE4, and my driver will work right? or do i have to do a full reboot | 20:42 |
| mark__ | But I can't get flash working on it without having Firefox installed | 20:42 |
| Artimus | mark__: I ran 32-bit Kubuntu on my Athlon64 for two reasons. Flash, and the fact that a certain kernel boot option is 32-bit only... | 20:42 |
| mark__ | And I didn't leave Windows just to have a different beundled browser | 20:43 |
| nosredna_ekim | earl_: i'd restart | 20:43 |
| earl_ | roger | 20:43 |
| earl_ | okay let me give that a shot | 20:43 |
| nosredna_ekim | mark__: what browser do you use? | 20:43 |
| mark__ | I did try running Swiftweasel, but I couldn't get my preferred apps to recognise it | 20:43 |
| mark__ | Sorry. Swiftweasel32 | 20:44 |
| mark__ | for Athlon64 | 20:44 |

| habdel | nosrednaekim: nop, it seems a library error not a configuration one | 21:15 |
| ijn | hey guys does it worth it to try install kde4 now or wait for it release from repos??? | 21:15 |
| nosrednaekim | habdel: did you uninstall all the RC1 pakages before loading the RC2? | 21:16 |
| Dr_willis | ijn, if you want to test kde4 - i susggest using some of hte kde4 live cd's that are out | 21:16 |
| s | i bought an ASUS 107G wireless card, since i was told on the ubuntuforums that this card has native support | 21:16 |

| habdel | nop, I didnt | 21:16 |
| ijn | oh it still in test ?? | 21:16 |
| habdel | nosrednaekim: I will try to do that right now, remove all kde4 then reinstall them | 21:16 |

| s | and not since. | 21:18 |
| * habdel reinstalling kde4 again | 21:18 | |
| nosrednaekim | oh. | 21:18 |

| nosrednaekim | s: ah yeah, plenty of people complaing about regressions with them | 21:19 |
| tehm0nk | ok i'm gonna reinstall right now | 21:19 |
| s | is there a solution? | 21:19 |
| s | or should i move to the newest testing release? | 21:19 |
| tehm0nk | in the last page before starting the installation there is a advanced butt | 21:19 |
| nosrednaekim | s: I don't know, look on the forums, if thre is, it will be there. | 21:19 |
| ibilic | you know how in windows when programs start running slow or something freezes, you restart your computer... is there an equivalent in Kubuntu (only without restarting)? | 21:19 |
| nosrednaekim | ibilic: whats wrong? | 21:20 |
| s | nos: thanks. i did the steps some folks posted there | 21:20 |
| s | no luck, though | 21:20 |
| tehm0nk | i clicked on it and it says something about the Grub install | 21:20 |
| tehm0nk | it says (hd0) | 21:20 |
| nosrednaekim | tehm0nk: leave that as default | 21:20 |
| tehm0nk | and it dont work | 21:20 |
| tehm0nk | ? | 21:20 |
| ardchoille | nosrednaekim: Shouldn't that be (hd0,1) ? | 21:20 |
| tehm0nk | the first partition | 21:20 |
| nosrednaekim | ardchoille: he's installing it on a partition? | 21:21 |
| tehm0nk | or should it be (hd0,0) | 21:21 |
| J-R | Hello everybody! | 21:21 |
| J-R | I changed my monitor from a LCD 17 inch to a CRT 14 inch. | 21:21 |
| nosrednaekim | first partition would be hd0,0 | 21:21 |
| J-R | I run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. | 21:21 |
| J-R | The login screen of KDE is OK. The initialization screen of KDE is also OK. | 21:21 |
| J-R | But, after that there is only a blank screen and I cannot do anythin more. | 21:21 |
| ardchoille | Ah, right | 21:21 |
| J-R | Is there some configuration file of KDE that I have do delete or chage? | 21:21 |
| Dr_willis | the users can have their own resolution settings i recall. But i dont rember where thats saved at. | 21:21 |
| ibilic | nosrednaekim: well it's just that firefox and LinuxDC++ and Azureus and everything in general just seems to be responding slowly and buggy... Firefox closed a couple of times for no reason | 21:21 |
| tehm0nk | brb while it copies stuff | 21:22 |
| nosrednaekim | ibilic: logging out should do the trick | 21:22 |
| Dr_willis | J-R, you could move the .kde dir and see if it works. Then explore the .kde dir looking for the setting file. :) | 21:22 |
| ibilic | nosrednaekim: will try, thanks! | 21:22 |
| nosrednaekim | have to go everyone! good luck everyone. | 21:23 |
| J-R | DR_willis, Thank you. Do you know the setting file's name? | 21:25 |
| J-R | Now I'm in Windows. So I need to grabber all the information before to turn to Kubuntu. Sorry | 21:25 |
| Dr_willis | J-R, Nope. You could alwyas use a console based irc client to get here from linux, also you could try making a new user. and seeing if it works for them | 21:26 |
| J-R | Dr_willis. Thank you again. I'll try this. | 21:27 |

| rencore_ | no | 22:29 |

| rencore_ | unless kde4 is running on kde3 | 22:29 |
| hitmanWilly | also, it might be an amd 64 issue | 22:30 |

| Artimus | How can I make my clock kicker app transparent again? It's on "Pain clock". I accidentally set a background color, now I can't make it transparent (so my kicker wallpaper shows behind it). | 22:41 |
| rencore_ | ok | 22:41 |
| rencore_ | im removing everything in synaptic right now | 22:42 |
| rencore_ | then i will try reinstalling | 22:42 |
| Manad | hi | 22:42 |

| Manad | I was looking around on the keyboard command shortcuts, and could not see an entry for minimizing all windows/showing the desktop. I wanted to set WIN+D to do it. | 22:43 |

| Manad | nevermind, just noticed I could select a Windows theme. Wow. | 22:44 |
| Manad | <3 KDE | 22:44 |
| Manad | how can I make Konqueror auto-load the File Management view profile when I launch it? | 22:51 |
| rencore_ | LjL, so i got everything to install ok but when i select kde4 in the sessions it doesnt load | 22:53 |
| LjL | rencore_: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 22:53 |
| === ubuntu_ is now known as tehm0nk | ||
| rencore_ | LjL, ok the session lasts less than 10 seconds | 22:56 |
| Selfarian | Is Konquerer a very slow browser? | 22:57 |
| LjL | Selfarian: not usually | 22:57 |
| LjL | rencore_: dunno :| | 22:57 |
| Selfarian | is firefox better? :-) | 22:58 |

| fignew | Konqueror is a great web browser | 22:59 |
| fignew | Faster than firefox, but not as compatible | 22:59 |
| fignew | so you'll maybe come across a few websites that don't fully render correctly :) | 23:00 |
| Manad | can't be faster than Firefox, they use the same engine. | 23:00 |
| Dr_willis | how do you even benchmark 'faster' | 23:00 |
| Dr_willis | make a 10000mb html doc? | 23:00 |
| fignew | Manad: they do not use the same engine | 23:00 |
| fignew | Dr_willis: there's various benchmarks | 23:01 |
| Manad | they don't? My bad, I saw the "browser signature" option and it said "Mozilla" | 23:01 |
| Dr_willis | it spits out the same 'id' :) | 23:01 |
| fignew | http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/browserSpeed.html | 23:01 |
| === derek is now known as deermeat | ||
| fignew | Manad: It does that because some websites are configured to tell you do get "a compatible browser" if it detects a non standard user agent | 23:02 |
| fignew | that's why opera claims it's some other browser by default. | 23:02 |
| Manad | so anyone know how I can have it autoload the File Management profile when it opens? I RTFMed and googled, it's not even brought up. Well the manual mentions instructions on creating a new shortcut that launches the profile, but it must be out of date because the things they talk about don't exist on the Kubuntu shortcut creator. | 23:02 |
| fignew | kfmclient openProfile webbrowsing | 23:04 |
| Dr_willis | hmm.. its a command line option to konqueror i belive to tellit to use a specific profile | 23:04 |
| fignew | yes, what Dr_willis said | 23:05 |
| Dr_willis | konqueror --help mentions it.. | 23:05 |
| Dr_willis | konqueror --profile <profile> Profile to open | 23:05 |
| Dr_willis | hmm --preload Preload for later use | 23:05 |
| Dr_willis | never noticed that one befor. :) | 23:05 |
| fignew | Dr_willis: preloading should be automatic (at least, there's a setting for in) | 23:07 |
| fignew | it* | 23:07 |
| Dr_willis | yea. unless you are using a setup like i got on my laptop. with the jwm window manager. :) | 23:08 |
| Manad | got it now. I think the space in "File Management" was causing me issues. I saved it as "best" and now it loads, thanks. | 23:08 |
| Dr_willis | but proberly wont gain too much for me. | 23:08 |
| Manad | Although, the help file does not mention --profile <profile> , it says "openProfile <profile>" | 23:08 |
| Selfarian | hm | 23:11 |
| Selfarian | how can i see, if i have gusty? | 23:11 |
| LjL | !version | 23:12 |
| ubotu | To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell | 23:12 |
| Selfarian | thanks | 23:12 |

| Ace2016 | anyone here know why my gksudo apps look horrible? | 23:21 |
| Ace2016 | like when i'm in kde and i run kdesu synaptic or gksudo gnome it looks really horrible, but if i login as root (gui) then the gtk apps have the correct theme | 23:22 |
| Manad | can I get people's opinion on Strigi? I'm the sort of person who always disabled Windows Indexing Service. How is Strigi better? | 23:23 |
| Dr_willis | Manad, I hate it :) | 23:26 |
| Dr_willis | for some weird reason if i type in a bad url in konquerors address it goes to strigi://Somting | 23:26 |
| Dr_willis | and then i cant chagne the address/location i start to type in google.com or whatever and it resets back to strigi:// | 23:27 |
| Ace2016 | well i'm not sure about stringi but i use locate and i only update it when i need to use it, i just do sudo updatedb and search, so it doesn't slow stuff down when i'm not suing it, but i plan to set it to run at 3am since i've most likely left the pc on and gone to sleep | 23:27 |
| Dr_willis | i have to close konquer | 23:27 |
| Manad | what is locate, ace? another search service? | 23:32 |
| rencore_ | LjL, i have everything installed why does kde4 not boot when i select the session in gdm | 23:34 |
| LjL | rencore_, i don't know. | 23:35 |
| Ace2016 | Manad: it just finds filenames, like locate ace will find say /home/ace/* and give a list of all files with ace in the location name, its great when i'm looking for config files i mess with because i always make a backup and call it filename_Ace2016_Backup_YYYYMMDD | 23:36 |
| Dr_willis | you did alter the .desktop entry for gdm like the docs say? | 23:36 |
| lovre | does anyone have any idea why my microphone is not working? Its all normal in mixer and everything, but it doesnt work. (Kubuntu) | 23:36 |
| galorin | I'm having a problem with amarok and saving to a media device. Can anyone recommend a good transcoding plugin as a starting point? | 23:36 |
| rencore_ | Dr_willis, no what do i need to alter it doesnt say that on the rc2 instructions | 23:36 |
| === malakhi_ is now known as malakhi | ||
| Dr_willis | used to be there was some exports needed befor running kde4 | 23:37 |
| rencore_ | hmm | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis | I dont mess with it any more. so it may have changed | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis | !kde4 | 23:37 |
| ubotu | KDE 4 is the next major release of the K Desktop Environment. For more information see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_4 - The Release Schedule is available at http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.0_Release_Schedule - RC 2 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php | 23:37 |
| rencore_ | kde3 runs fine but for some reason kde4 doesnt load | 23:38 |
| Dr_willis | try starting it from 'startx' and the .xinitrc file instead of using gdm perhaps. | 23:40 |
| Dr_willis | Seems the kde4 docs have changed a lot since last i saw them | 23:40 |
| Manad | how can I force-mount an NTFS drive that was not properly shutdown? Xubuntu's file manager gave me the command to do it when it spit out the error, but Konqueror doesn't | 23:42 |
| lovre | should alsa-utils service be set to run on boot for the microphone to work? | 23:44 |
| ubuntu_ | Hi can somebody help me please, I am trying to partition a USB hard drive using qtparted, and I set the new size of the partition, I click OK and nothing happens | 23:57 |
| ubuntu_ | It doesnt even preview the changes so that I can click Commit | 23:58 |
| ubuntu_ | And whenever I click OK after setting the new size of the partition, it looks like an error box comes up that I have to click OK on but there is no text to tell me what's wrong? | 23:59 |
