| counterpoint | Hello can anyone assist me | 00:31 |
| Dr_willis | counterpoint, and the problem is? | 00:31 |
| pexi | rencore_: you only have read it at http://www.kubuntu.org | 00:31 |

| Dr_willis | counterpoint, interesting. What are you downlioading it with? | 00:33 |
| Dr_willis | counterpoint, did you try gettting it from different locations? | 00:33 |
| rencore_ | pexi i did read it and when i select kde4 as the session it doesnt load | 00:33 |
| rencore_ | :( | 00:33 |
| counterpoint | yes I did , the cd seems to burn ok and I test them , but the files one the image was corrupted | 00:34 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. you did check the md5sum after downloading it? | 00:34 |
| pexi | rencore_: I get an error too | 00:34 |
| rencore_ | what is urs pexi? | 00:34 |
| pexi | but I created a new user only for run kde4 and it works | 00:35 |
| rencore_ | how? | 00:35 |
| pexi | just type in a terminal: sudo adduser testKde4 | 00:36 |
| counterpoint | yes ,, that what mean when I said that I test it .... but the ce integrty always fail | 00:36 |
| pexi | and try to start kde with the new user | 00:36 |
| Dr_willis | counterpoint, You may want to try downloading it with a torrent client, or some other download manager tool. You might also want to test the cd image in virtualbox or vmware. | 00:36 |
| counterpoint | should I use a DvD or CD i image | 00:37 |

| holo | use aptitude instead | 00:48 |

| Dagon | how do I install synaptic if adept is working? | 00:48 |
| LjL | apt-get ain't deprecated on ubuntu | 00:48 |
| hydrogen | like make assumptions that I want to do things | 00:48 |
| hydrogen | when I didn't tell it to | 00:48 |
| vzduch | apt-get isn't deprecated | 00:48 |
| holo | hmm | 00:49 |
| ardchoille | holo: apt-get is not deprecated | 00:49 |
| holo | i will find where i read this | 00:49 |
| holo | ok, I read the first time | 00:49 |
| vzduch | Synaptic and Adept are graphical frontends to apt-get | 00:49 |
| LjL | holo, on *debian* aptitude is recommended. we're not debian. | 00:49 |
| LjL | vzduch: no | 00:49 |
| hydrogen | "What, you want to install this package? okay, let me remove these ten packages at the same time.. i'm sure you don't really want to keep them" | 00:49 |
| LjL | vzduch: Synaptic, Adept *and apt-get* (and aptitude) are all frontends to APT | 00:49 |
| LjL | hydrogen: perhaps some of those 10 packages would conflict anyway | 00:50 |
| hydrogen | no | 00:50 |
| hydrogen | they wouldn't | 00:50 |
| limac | hey | 00:50 |
| * vzduch doesn't like aptitude, as it treats recommended pkgs as 'hard' dependencies | 00:50 | |
| limac | why is celeron considered a bad processor???? | 00:50 |
| hydrogen | they were packages that apt saw as no longer needed.. apt-get tells me that they are no longer necessary, and that I can remove them if I tell it to, aptitude assumes that I want to remove them | 00:51 |
| compbrain | limac: its underpowered? | 00:51 |
| holo | LjL: ok, so apt-get (frontend to APT) is deprecated in debian. | 00:51 |
| limac | compbrain: expand :D | 00:51 |
| jhutchins | Celerons usually have less L2 cache and don't perform as well as the same plain intel chip, in exchange for which they use less power and create less heat. | 00:52 |
| jhutchins | Typically they're thought of as a "laptop" chip, but also used in cheap or specialty systems. | 00:52 |
| jhutchins | Kind of like a Xenon is perceived as being a top-end server chip for the same model run. | 00:53 |
| limac | i no i have a laptop (not a robust comp) | 00:53 |
| limac | so is AMD good or is intel better? | 00:53 |
| jhutchins | limac: Depends on what you want. | 00:54 |
| limac | what's ur opinion? | 00:54 |
| jhutchins | limac: Generally right now, Intell is beating AMD both on top performance and performance per price. | 00:54 |
| limac | which is a more robust one? | 00:54 |
| jhutchins | You need to pick something - price, clock speed, performance goal - then compare various different processors that meet that criteria. It depends on what you can get the chip for. | 00:55 |
| jhutchins | limac: The core 2 duo processors perform very well and give good value for the price. | 00:56 |
| limac | so which chip is a good one if i want to perform high-end apps on the comuter??? | 00:56 |
| jhutchins | limac: Depends on what you mean. | 00:56 |
| jhutchins | limac: Xenons tend to handle multi-tasking servers better, but you pay for the extra performance. | 00:56 |
| limac | like say a long compilation of a c++ | 00:57 |
| jhutchins | limac: I would say that if a core 2 duo is in your price range, it's the best bet. | 00:57 |
| jhutchins | limac: Then again, you need to ask how many cores you want. | 00:57 |
| limac | how much is it now days?? | 00:57 |
| wladek | hi. i'm running kubuntu 7.10 with an nvidia graphics card. i was unable to use the default driver (stability problem) that came with the distribution so i followed the steps to install the driver from nvidia's site. everything seems to be working fine, but i'm having an issue when opening new windows on my multiple display desktop. when i open new windows they open strattled against both displays. also, if i fullscreen a video | 00:58 |
| wladek | it does the same thing. anyone know how i can get remedy this situation? | 00:58 |
| jhutchins | limac: For a database server that's going to have some 250 systems connecting to it and doing queries and writes every few seconds, we rejected a dual core server and requested that they go with quad core. | 00:58 |
| jhutchins | limac: You need to check some of the web sites that do hardware reviews. | 00:58 |
| jhutchins | limac: See what's best for your purposes. | 00:58 |
| limac | jhutchins: thx and did u yet use the quad-core proc? | 00:58 |
| * compbrain is using a dual quad core | 00:59 | |
| jhutchins | limac: Haven't arrived yet. | 00:59 |
| limac | compbrain: how do u like it? | 00:59 |
| compbrain | Its damn peppy | 00:59 |
| limac | jhutchins: of course did! i saw it in Bestbuy! | 01:00 |
| limac | :) | 01:00 |
| jhutchins | limac: In our case, the quad core will scale well, because we're doing lots of seperate transactions. | 01:00 |
| limac | compbrain: wat do u mean peppy? | 01:00 |
| compbrain | limac: Its quite fast for the workload I present | 01:00 |
| limac | sweet | 01:00 |
| jhutchins | On the other hand, if I were running it as a desktop, a lot of processes wouldn't be any faster than a single-core AMD, becuase they don't multi-thread. | 01:00 |
| compbrain | Dell had a free upsell from a single dual core to a dual quad core, so its quite nice | 01:01 |
| jhutchins | When I built the box I'm on now, I could get an AMD that performed better than the Intell chip I could get for about the same price, so I went with AMD. | 01:01 |
| compbrain | Single threaded perfrmance is less than that of my AMD X2, but thats mostly a clock speed issue | 01:01 |
| limac | compbrain: would u suggest me that for like long compilation (c++) | 01:01 |
| limac | ? | 01:02 |
| compbrain | limac: If you can convince the compiler to use more than one thread, a multi-core processor will do you good. | 01:02 |
| jhutchins | limac: compilation can use multi-processing well, so more cores at lower clockspeeds will help. | 01:02 |
| compbrain | The Core 2 line is getting alot of positive feedback currently | 01:02 |
| jhutchins | For programs that don't thread as well as compilation does, higher clock speed with fewer cores will give you better performance. | 01:02 |
| jhutchins | limac: There's no single "best" answer. | 01:03 |
| jhutchins | limac: Even if there were, that would drive the price of the "best" CPU up until it wasn't as good a deal any more. | 01:03 |
| limac | I'll look | 01:03 |
| limac | for DESKTOPS | 01:03 |
| limac | and no more lappys | 01:03 |
| limac | for me | 01:03 |
| jhutchins | The Core 2 duos are getting such positive reviews it's driving the lower-performance AMD's prices down, so you might be able to find a faster AMD for a lower price. | 01:03 |
| jhutchins | limac: You can also use distcc and compile simultaneously on multiple machines for big jobs. | 01:04 |
| jhutchins | limac: Tom's Hardware is a good site for reviews and performance specs. | 01:04 |
| jhutchins | compbrain: I had a core 2 duo macbook for a month, that was a pretty nice system. | 01:05 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Rampage | ||
| limac | where can i get the reviews from?? | 01:06 |
| limac | free | 01:06 |
| NickPresta | limac, www.tomshardware.com is great. Their CPU chart should give you some ideas of performance. | 01:07 |
| wladek | hey.. how do i setup x server so when i spawn new windows they're not straddled across both my displays? | 01:17 |
| flaccid | how would you like it? | 01:18 |
| flaccid | im not sure on your question actually | 01:18 |
| flaccid | if you have dual display, it should stretch the display it spawns on | 01:19 |
| flaccid | not across both by default | 01:19 |
| wladek | when i spawn new windows they appear straddled across both displays | 01:19 |
| wladek | when i used the original restricted nvidia driver.. it did something to xserver new windows wouldnt behave like this | 01:20 |
| wladek | but im not sure what it was | 01:20 |
| wladek | and now that i had to setup the nvidia driver manually i don't have this behaviour anymore | 01:20 |

| wladek | also when i fullscreen a video it straddles the video across both screens as opposed to full screen'ing to the display it's currently in :/ | 01:22 |
| Kingzar | How do i install screenlets | 01:22 |
| Dr_willis | I think you download the soruce from the screenlets web site | 01:24 |
| flaccid | wladek: ah yeah thats an nvidia property in xorg.conf i think. but i can't remember. #nvidia or google should help | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | http://www.screenlets.org/index.php/Download | 01:24 |
| Dr_willis | wladek, twinview is supposed to take care of that. If you enable twinview wih the nvidia settings tool. You still need to restart the X server for it to work properly | 01:25 |
| Kingzar | thanks Dr_willis | 01:25 |
| wladek | i'm already using twinview. doesnt seem to do the trick | 01:26 |
| ibilic | every time I log in, I have to turn my external USB disk on and off for it to be detected... do you know why? | 01:27 |
| Dr_willis | what player are you ussing wladek ? and how did you enable twinview? | 01:27 |
| flaccid | maybe pastebin the xorg.conf to see if its in there | 01:27 |
| Dr_willis | ibilic, if the drive is always goign to be atatched. You could just make a fstab entry for it. | 01:27 |
| wladek | vlc player. i enabled twinview using nvidia-settings | 01:27 |
| NickPresta | wladek, I use twinview and "fullscreen" videos aren't actually fullscreen. They open up fully on a single display. Games are another story, however. | 01:27 |
| Dr_willis | wladek, and did you restart the X server after enabling it? | 01:28 |
| flaccid | yeah nvidia-settings is a frontend to xorg.conf pretty much | 01:28 |
| wladek | yeah, i've restarted xserver | 01:28 |
| wladek | you want me to pastebin my xorg.conf ? | 01:28 |
| Dr_willis | vlc fullscreens on the monitor its the 'most' on - here. for me. I can only think of a few apps that are brain dead and try to take up both displays | 01:28 |
| flaccid | hmmm, there is that setting but with nvidia to make it stretch | 01:28 |
| flaccid | on windows it gives you an extra button on the window to do it | 01:29 |
| Dr_willis | heres my xorg.conf set up for twinview. 1 dvi monitor and a tv out. | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | http://pastebin.com/m4cdad4c3 | 01:30 |
| Dr_willis | Option "Xinerama" "0" i THINK may be imporntant :) | 01:30 |
| flaccid | i love xrandr :) | 01:30 |
| flaccid | cool | 01:31 |
| flaccid | wonder if wladek has an extra directive | 01:31 |
| NickPresta | wladek, our xorg.conf's are almost identical | 01:31 |
| flaccid | where is wladek's? | 01:32 |
| wladek | i only have one screen directive | 01:32 |

| r0y4l | no .xsession-errors errors, and no Xorg.0.log errors... | 01:33 |

| tehm0nk-otherpc | i'm just sticking xp there for backup | 01:58 |
| SubNet | SudoKing: sudo rm -R /folder/path | 01:58 |
| SudoKing | thanks you | 01:58 |
| flaccid | pista | 01:58 |
| SubNet | SudoKing: but be careful - that can rm your whole System if used the wrong way !!! | 01:58 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | should i just partition at least the windows parts with the xp installed? | 01:58 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | then... fix the gaps with kubuntu? | 01:58 |
| sfears | does anyone know of a low level formating program available on linux.. one that would let me format a hard drive hooked up thru a usb/ide cable | 01:59 |
| Kingzar | jager: whatś widget layer in compiz for anyways? | 01:59 |
| SudoKing | thanks, subnet, done, without wrecking my system :P | 01:59 |
| SubNet | :-) | 01:59 |
| SubNet | nice to hear tht Sudo | 01:59 |
| jager | like dashboard on macs | 01:59 |
| jager | put superkaramba stuff on it | 01:59 |
| jager | at least so they say i'm working on it :p | 01:59 |
| Kingzar | I had superkaramba | 01:59 |
| Kingzar | no clue what to do with it | 02:00 |
| SubNet | so nobody knows how to tweak media:/ to show the Disk-Labels of ext3-Partitions? | 02:00 |
| Kingzar | iḿ trying to figure screenlets out now instaed of superkaramba ;P | 02:00 |
| Kingzar | can i use screenlets on my widget layer? | 02:00 |
| jager | yes | 02:01 |
| jager | aha! | 02:02 |
| drarem | can i set up a gaming linux box as an 'audio' server, so that I don't need a splitter or multiple inputs to run my other gaming box through the audio? | 02:02 |
| blmm | I somehow lost the Kubuntu tweak to open removable media as /media rather than using an ioslave. Where is this setting? How do I restore it? I have kubuntu-default-settings installed. | 02:02 |
| Kingzar | whatś the gedit command for kubuntu? | 02:03 |
| blmm | Or should I remove some KDE package? | 02:03 |
| drarem | gedit ? | 02:03 |
| SubNet | Kingzar: kate | 02:03 |
| Kingzar | sudo gedit = sudo kate | 02:04 |
| sfears | if you open a hard drive will it be ruined forever? | 02:04 |
| SubNet | blmm: mounting external Devices is done by hald ... | 02:04 |
| SubNet | Kingzar: yes | 02:04 |
| holycow | what app controls the resolution in kde? | 02:04 |
| drarem | Kingzar - or gksudo ? | 02:05 |
| holycow | i'm playing around with kde4 beta, i'm hoping its the same app as in kde3 | 02:05 |
| SubNet | hald is the H_ardware A_bstraction L_ayer D_eamon | 02:05 |
| blmm | I think it is mounted OK, just that it opens using system:// rather than /media. I can manually go to the /media equivalent. | 02:05 |
| SubNet | blmm: byt media:/ doesnt show ist? | 02:05 |
| SubNet | WOW - but media:/ doesn't show it? | 02:06 |
| blmm | media:// works, it's just that I agree with the Kubuntu decision not to use it (non-KDE programs). Just a slight inconvenience. | 02:06 |
| SubNet | blmm: Sorry mate, no idea | 02:09 |
| blmm | OK. | 02:09 |
| Dr_willis | blmm, with that logic however - they should also remove fish:// and smb:// and all the kioslave things like that. | 02:10 |
| Dr_willis | of course as long as you just ise the special addresses like that for file management - ive never had any problems. | 02:11 |
| jmichaelx | i have tried everything to get my rt2500-based wireless working well in gutsy, but it is starting to look hopeless. i have blacklisted the crap gutsy rt2500pci driver, and have compiled the serialmonkey rt2500 driver... this has helped have a more stable connection to my WEP-protected home-network, buti am having an even worse time connecting to totally unencrypted public networks... does anyone have a suggestion? | 02:11 |
| vzduch | sfears: it will at least void your warranty.. and probably ruin the drive, yes, unless you have the proper tools and knowledge to re-assemble it like it's supposed to be, and preferably a clean-room | 02:12 |
| blmm | Dr_willis: I don't think so. With media:// you have the choice of direct file system access or an ioslave. Direct file access is more useful. For fish:// and smb:// the ioslaves are much better than nothing, i.e. using a special client program. And there is a FUSE/ioslave thing you could try using. | 02:14 |
| Aresilek | jmichaelx: what kind of instabillity do u get? | 02:17 |
| Kingzar | pfff | 02:18 |
| Kingzar | both screenlets and superkaramba suck!! | 02:18 |
| jmichaelx | Aresilek: at home, i have no instability anymore.... it is very stable, although i have to use rutilt to connect... but i often cannot connect at all at coffee shops and other places | 02:18 |
| jmichaelx | Kingzar: i like superkaramba, but it can be finnicky | 02:19 |
| Kingzar | i liked it too if it worked | 02:19 |
| jmichaelx | what isn't working? | 02:19 |
| Kingzar | i had it all set up once, and suddenly the weather app decided to leave just like that | 02:19 |
| Kingzar | and never returned | 02:19 |
| Kingzar | and so did the rest later | 02:19 |
| jmichaelx | are you using liquid weather? | 02:19 |
| Kingzar | i used liquid weather yes | 02:20 |
| Aresilek | jmichaelx: i have connection problems too | 02:20 |
| Kingzar | the only thing i could think of, was that i deleted the .tar file from my desktop | 02:20 |
| Kingzar | would that have caused the problem? does karamba not safe the widget to another place after installing? | 02:21 |
| Dr_willis | blmm, i was just thinking of the fuse ioslave stuff also. :) Wondering how wellit works | 02:21 |
| jmichaelx | ok, if i were you, i would make sure i had the most recent liquid weather downloaded and installed, then i recommend going into ~/.superkaramba and deleting all of the liquid weather config files so that you can start fresh. it should work then | 02:21 |
| jmichaelx | Aresilek: what kind of card are you using? | 02:22 |
| Kingzar | where is ~/.superkaramba | 02:22 |
| jmichaelx | Kingzar: /home/<username>/.superkaramba | 02:22 |
| Dr_willis | I seem to recall some 'issue' with liquid weather and the dash/bash changes in ubuntu. | 02:22 |
| Kingzar | k | 02:23 |
| mueslix | good evening | 02:23 |
| Kingzar | btw my kdm media manager crashed, what is the command to start it again | 02:23 |
| jmichaelx | it is possible... i run several distros, and always have problems in *ubuntu that i never have in the others | 02:23 |
| Kingzar | can enter my drives | 02:23 |
| mueslix | i just installed the kde4 rc2 packages... selecting kde4 in kdm just restarts kdm tho | 02:23 |
| Aresilek | jmichaelx: intel not sure what exact model | 02:23 |
| Kingzar | can´t | 02:23 |
| Kingzar | enter my drives | 02:23 |
| jmichaelx | i do not have the issues with liquid weather in fedora or slackware that i have off and on in kubuntu | 02:23 |

| surgy | anyone mind helping me out in #kubuntu-offtopic | 02:24 |
| surgy | ? | 02:24 |
| Aresilek | jmichaelx: 3945 i think | 02:24 |
| sfears | what's up surgy? | 02:24 |
| Dr_willis | jmichaelx, the 'issue' i am thinking of - comes from the liquid weather guys using '#!/bin/sh' when they should be using #!/bin/bash :) at least i THINK thats the issue. | 02:24 |
| surgy | its off topic so could you come to the off topic channel plz? | 02:24 |
| fsckr | is there a config program for KDE like there is for gnome? Gnomes is gconf. My screensaver doesn't come on at all even though its enable to start automatically in 15 min | 02:24 |
| jmichaelx | Aresilek: gutsy was a dramatic step backwards for wireless, as far as my experience has gone | 02:24 |
| fsckr | and I know there is the system settings | 02:24 |
| === sfears is now known as sFEARs | ||
| jmichaelx | Dr_willis: i see... i have had no problems personally with liquid weather of late, but that could well be so | 02:25 |
| david__ | I have had mixed sucess with gusty and wireless ... some better some worse ... the worst | 02:25 |
| Kingzar | sudo rm ~/.superkaramba <--? | 02:25 |
| jmichaelx | Kingzar: no | 02:25 |
| david__ | was getting amd and broadcom card working :( | 02:25 |
| Dr_willis | jmichaelx, im thinking it was liq. weather. Someone posted a thread/faq where the 'fix' from the Liq. weather guys for the 'broken' ubuntu was well... lets say not a good fix. :) | 02:26 |
| Aresilek | jmichaelx: some times it connects, most of the time it doesn't :-( | 02:26 |
| jmichaelx | Kingzar: just use konqueror to get to ~/.superkaramba. go to your home directory, and enable 'hidden files' | 02:27 |
| Dr_willis | jmichaelx, http://liquidweather.net/howto/index.php?id=59 --- The knowledge of the person writing that howto.. shows that they need to research ubuntu/dash/bash a little more :) | 02:27 |
| jmichaelx | Dr_willis: i see, interesting | 02:27 |
| Dr_willis | jmichaelx, yea. i found the 'attitude' of the 'howto' interesting and the fact the fix is really for them to fix their scripts.. OR use 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash' interesting | 02:28 |
| jmichaelx | Dr_willis: although that appears to have been for edgy... i do remember having a lot of issues with liquid weather in edgy. i think i even had uninstalled it for a while | 02:28 |
| Aresilek | will ubuntu (wnet) drivers work in kubuntu? | 02:28 |
| Dr_willis | jmichaelx, i think the issue is going away now that more and more script writers/progamres are using #!/bin/bash properly | 02:29 |
| Dr_willis | used to be limewire and some other programs had similer issues. | 02:29 |
| jmichaelx | i see, this is educational lol | 02:29 |
| Dr_willis | a few dozen+ bug reports to them and they fix the scripts. heh. | 02:29 |
| jmichaelx | hehe | 02:29 |
| Dr_willis | I reseearched this topic a whole bunch when they did the dash/bash change. | 02:29 |
| jmichaelx | Kingzar: did you figure out what i was suggesting? | 02:30 |
| Kingzar | jmichaelx: i have no clue how to enable view hidden files | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | the 'core' of the issue is that a script calling #!/bin/sh can Still use 'bash only' features. since bash does not complain. which i feel is a bug/problem with bash. but it was that way for so long that peole assume bash is sh i guess. | 02:30 |
| Dr_willis | Well back to help the wife a bit. | 02:30 |
| jmichaelx | Kingzar: go to your home folder in konqueror or dolphin.... in konqueror's menu, click 'view' at the top, and select 'Show Hidden Files' | 02:31 |
| jmichaelx | it's the same in dolphin | 02:32 |
| Kingzar | whahaha jmichaelx i had no clue it could be that easy :p | 02:33 |
| Kingzar | anyways iĺl try again now in the mean time do you know how i can restart my kde media manager | 02:33 |
| Kingzar | itś not running, crashed before | 02:33 |
| jmichaelx | Kingzar: it's easy, but confusing when you're new | 02:33 |
| jmichaelx | hmm i don't know anything about kde media manager | 02:33 |

| david__ | Aresilek intel works out of the box. | 02:39 |
| jmichaelx | have you tried just entering your info in System Settings? | 02:39 |
| jmichaelx | i have been fighting wireless problems in gutsy from the get-go. i am thinking about ditching it altogether at this point (on my laptop, at least) | 02:41 |
| jmichaelx | i may go with fedora, if i can find out whether or not rt2500-based wireless cards work well in fedora | 02:41 |
| david__ | jmichalex if you don't mind what is the laptop ... I had no problems on an intel wireless laptop | 02:42 |
| jmichaelx | david__: i wish i had intel.... this laptop has an rt2500-based wireless adaptor | 02:43 |
| bazhang | ralink are iffy in every distro jmichaelx | 02:44 |

| Aresilek | it used to work well before, i think when i switched from WPA to WEP I started to get issues | 02:44 |
| Aresilek | david__: mine is the intel | 02:44 |
| jmichaelx | bazhang: i always had very good luckj with rt2500 until now | 02:44 |
| jmichaelx | always | 02:44 |
| david__ | ohh okay sorry I just got confused. | 02:44 |
| bazhang | jmichaelx: the operative word being luck; for some they work, others they never do | 02:45 |
| toxop1asma | hey guys a quick noob question. i have a kubuntu 7.04 cd. is there any reason to get the newest one (7.10)? | 02:45 |
| jmichaelx | before edgy i often had to compile the driver and so on, but after that, things were fine | 02:45 |
| Kingzar | How do i restart KDE? | 02:45 |
| bazhang | toxop1asma: what kind of system? how much ram, etc | 02:46 |
| jmichaelx | rt2500 worked out of the box in feisty.... both pci and usb | 02:46 |
| toxop1asma | bazhang: axp 1600, 512 ram, gf2 | 02:46 |
| bazhang | toxop1asma: nvidia card 2 series? | 02:47 |
| toxop1asma | yeah. geforce2 mx400 64mb | 02:47 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | omg | 02:48 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | i forgot to get a floppy disk with sata drivers for winx | 02:48 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | winxp* | 02:48 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | OWNT | 02:48 |
| bazhang | toxop1asma: why not get the 7.10 live cd and compare? that is likely the best way to find out | 02:48 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | uh.... you think i can do that inside kubuntu live? | 02:48 |
| toxop1asma | isn't 7.10 basically the same as any other 7.xx, but with all updates applied? as opposed to 8.xx, which would be a bigger change not attainable with updates? how does this all work? | 02:49 |
| === Airforce5555 is now known as takemynick | ||
| toxop1asma | bazhang: i am not sure if my burner is working. it would a pain in the ass to do it | 02:50 |
| bazhang | toxop1asma: just a suggestion; though if you have no way to get another cd--why ask for an alternative to 7.04? | 02:51 |
| toxop1asma | bazhang: if there is a significant benefit, i'd go through the pain of getting 7.10. but not otherwise. is there a page that explains what version numbers mean? | 02:53 |
| bazhang | toxop1asma: version numbers? year and month | 02:53 |
| jmichaelx | are there any wireless cards working well in gutsy? i don't want to buy yet another mini-pci card, but this is just sucking way too much | 02:54 |
| jmichaelx | i am thinking intel or atheros | 02:54 |
| bazhang | intel is jmichaelx | 02:54 |
| flaccid | !wireless | 02:54 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 02:54 |
| flaccid | lots.. | 02:54 |
| jmichaelx | i have my doubts about lots | 02:54 |
| flaccid | intel better support than atheros | 02:54 |
| david__ | My mother had an atheros which worked out of the box. | 02:55 |
| flaccid | there is more than 1 model atheros | 02:56 |
| jmichaelx | atheros works out-of-the-box in most distros, but not as consistantly in the buntus | 02:56 |
| toxop1asma | bazhang: thanks! wow, i should have figured that one out. but then, what is Breezy Badger and so on? how does that correlate with version numbers? or it doesn't..? | 02:56 |
| flaccid | it depends on the card | 02:56 |
| flaccid | the model of the card. | 02:56 |
| david__ | I put gusty on her laptop. | 02:56 |
| bazhang | toxop1asma: no idea | 02:56 |
| Dragnslcr | toxop1asma- each version has a "code name" that's used before the release and in other informal discussions | 02:58 |
| jmichaelx | flaccid: it is funny. according to the link you gave me, rt2500-based cards should work out of the box in gutsy. all you need to do is look in the forums to see that is not the case at all. | 02:58 |
| flaccid | sounds about right | 02:59 |
| flaccid | i avoid atheros because they are not what they claim in terms of support in linux | 02:59 |
| toxop1asma | Dragnslcr: oh, i see. and if i have an old version, and apply all the updates, is it the same as the new version? | 02:59 |
| jmichaelx | flaccid: i have an atheros pci card that i have used in 2 machines without any issues at all.. but i know nothing about exactly what version it is | 02:59 |
| flaccid | because 1 model card worked for 1 person doesn't mean that all cards work for all persons and platforms.. | 03:00 |
| jmichaelx | indeed | 03:00 |
| Dragnslcr | toxop1asma- should be, yeah. Usually you can only upgrade one version at a time, so if for example you have 6.06 installed, it may be easier to do a clean install of 7.10 than to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 to 7.04 to 7.10 | 03:00 |
| === ubuntu is now known as tehm0nk | ||
| flaccid | so the old claim of 'worked for me' doesn't fit, not that it ever does | 03:00 |
| david__ | jmichaelx I agree .. I wish I knew the version I had my mother using. | 03:00 |
| Dr_willis | i love it when identically named cards from a company change chipsets :) | 03:00 |
| Dragnslcr | toxop1asma- especially since upgrades aren't always painless | 03:00 |
| Dr_willis | Had several Linksys cards that did that. | 03:00 |

| bazhang | Dr_willis: that has happened to me as well :} | 03:01 |
| flaccid | sure is | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis | You can mount/read/write to floppy disks.. | 03:01 |
| tehm0nk | how do i mount it? | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis | This is weird - I have an external usb - dvd burner.. Its been burning good all day., now suddendly on the last 2 disks. its buring at 1x speed with k3b. | 03:01 |

| bazhang | netgear in my case | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis | Not sure what to do to kick it in the head. :) I wonder if it was the dvd disks.. they are the last of an old batch i bought ages ago. | 03:02 |
| toxop1asma | Dragnslcr: thanks. | 03:02 |
| jmichaelx | i am to the point that the only card i would trust to work in the buntus,from version to version, is intel. anything else is wide open to problems.... may work well in one version, just to not work at all in the next. i have no idea (there may be a good reason) why the ubuntu devs included the nasty, unstable beta rt2500 drivers, rather than the stable, legacy drivers | 03:02 |
| flaccid | i agree jmichaelx | 03:03 |
| flaccid | after they fixed up ipw support and the new cards came out, intel support was pretty much made good for intel | 03:03 |
| Dr_willis | rt2500 was So hyped when it the news/company came out with all the gpl support news.. and well.. they dident live up to their end. :( | 03:03 |
| Dr_willis | Does intel make stand alone wireless cards? | 03:03 |
| flaccid | i mean for wireless. it is very rare i can't trust an intel wirless card out of box | 03:03 |
| bazhang | ralink are gpl, but poorly designed imo | 03:03 |
| Dr_willis | I cant recall ever seeing any. | 03:03 |
| flaccid | what is stand alone? | 03:04 |
| jmichaelx | Dr_willis: i always had good luck with the legacy rt2500 drivers | 03:04 |
| flaccid | it needs a computer lol | 03:04 |
| Dr_willis | jmichaelx, ive never ttried them.. i never saw any 2500 cards in the stores so i never grabbed one. | 03:04 |
| Dr_willis | of course I dont use wireless much. I ran wires throgh the house. | 03:04 |
| jmichaelx | Dr_willis: i have 3 of them | 03:04 |
| bazhang | I'm guessing stand alone means available for retail sale | 03:04 |
| flaccid | my house is like an internet cafe | 03:04 |
| david__ | flaccid do you have free coffee for all of us ? ;) | 03:05 |
| jmichaelx | linksys has sold a lot of rt2500 cards.. both pci and usb | 03:05 |
| Dr_willis | i dont recall seeing any intel cards at the various pc parts stores either.. could be they just are not as widly stocked. Or i just overlooked them | 03:05 |
| jmichaelx | Dr_willis: i was talking about rt2500... no, you don't see intel in the stores, to my knowledge | 03:06 |
| Dr_willis | I recall seeing Intel Motherbosards where i normally shop. But not much else. | 03:06 |
| jmichaelx | wireless in linux in general is still one of its biggest problems | 03:06 |
| flaccid | david__: yeah but you gotta make it :p | 03:07 |
| david__ | hehehhe :) | 03:07 |
| bazhang | software patents are the issue imo | 03:07 |
| flaccid | intel don't really do retail | 03:07 |
| Dr_willis | i find wureless under windows to be a very very very big pain also. | 03:07 |
| jmichaelx | bazhang: i am with you | 03:07 |
| tehm0nk | that walkthrough makes a lot of no sense on how to get the floppy drive to read/write | 03:07 |

| Dr_willis | tehm0nk, its possible its /dev/somthing else. :) | 03:11 |
| david__ | jmichaelx I think there is a problem there seems I had this same problem with ndiswrapper and a broadcom ... | 03:11 |
| Dr_willis | I have no flopppy so no idea what the dev is. :) | 03:11 |
| david__ | I wish I could remember the fix but I have long since gotten rid of that laptop. | 03:11 |
| tehm0nk | well this is my last hope lo | 03:11 |
| tehm0nk | lol | 03:11 |
| jmichaelx | raylu: david__: i have to connect with RutilT at home... at coffee shops, etc, nothing works | 03:12 |
| tehm0nk | i forgot to make a sata raid disk before clearing my stripe set and redoing it | 03:12 |
| flaccid | usuall /dev/fd0 | 03:12 |
| Dr_willis | Those howtos you looked at dont mention a /dev/SOMTHING ? | 03:12 |
| tehm0nk | ... lol | 03:12 |
| tehm0nk | soooo | 03:12 |
| tehm0nk | OMG | 03:12 |
| tehm0nk | i love you. | 03:12 |
| flaccid | ls /dev | grep fd | 03:12 |
| tehm0nk | it's accessing the floppy | 03:12 |
| flaccid | will show the floppy devices | 03:12 |
| flaccid | sweet | 03:12 |
| david__ | I remember that anything without encryption was a pain. | 03:12 |
| tehm0nk | now i just need to get the drivers on it lol | 03:12 |
| flaccid | broadcome worse than atheros outch | 03:12 |
| osiris | http://rafb.net/p/izT64Z56.nln.html | 03:12 |
| osiris | apt trouble | 03:13 |
| jmichaelx | it's funny that the unencrypted networks would be the problem | 03:13 |
| raylu | why are you using floopies again? | 03:13 |
| flaccid | osiris: filesystem is read only for some reason.. | 03:13 |
| david__ | Yeah, I remember thinking the same. | 03:13 |
| tehm0nk | omg | 03:13 |
| tehm0nk | you have to be kidding | 03:13 |
| raylu | osiris: looks like your apt stuff is mounted on a read-only filesystem | 03:13 |
| tehm0nk | the drivers are a .exe | 03:13 |
| osiris | after my last update to the server, it broke | 03:13 |
| jmichaelx | i had a mini-pci bcm43xx card in this lappy to start with, but pulled it and put in this rt2500 card that i got on ebay for $15 | 03:14 |
| raylu | when you installed, did you configure a seperate mountpoint for anything or was everything /? | 03:14 |
| osiris | no, nothing funny about it | 03:14 |
| jmichaelx | it was heaven until gutsy came along and ruined it | 03:14 |
| flaccid | osiris: easiest problem is to reboot and do normal boot. if it mounts read only again, you have a problem with the fs or similar | 03:14 |
| raylu | ok, what does mounted show, osiris? | 03:14 |
| raylu | *mount | 03:14 |
| raylu | jmichaelx: if it comes down to it, you can always downgrade | 03:14 |
| raylu | or perhaps an older version of the kernel would help | 03:15 |
| osiris | http://rafb.net/p/3eE8wk55.nln.html | 03:15 |
| tehm0nk | is there a vm that i could use to open it? | 03:15 |
| david__ | jmichaelx could you recompile with an older driver? | 03:15 |
| Dr_willis | tehm0nk, try wine | 03:15 |
| Dr_willis | !info cabextract | 03:16 |
| ubotu | cabextract: a program to extract Microsoft Cabinet files. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2-2 (gutsy), package size 52 kB, installed size 184 kB | 03:16 |
| Dr_willis | cabextract may extract the files also | 03:16 |
| jmichaelx | david__: i already did compile the old driver... it is much,much better than the gutsy driver, but i still cannot connect to unencrypted networks | 03:16 |
| flaccid | osiris: /dev/hda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) <-- appears to have mounted read only due to errors on the fs | 03:17 |
| osiris | strange. i guess ill reboot it | 03:17 |
| raylu | i had an issue like that when my hard-drive was borked | 03:17 |
| raylu | hopefully it's just some software deal | 03:17 |
| david__ | jmichaelx hmmm I remember the broadcom problem was in some auth module not in the driver. | 03:18 |
| raylu | i just put a hyphen in hard drive =\ | 03:18 |
| raylu | jmichaelx: is turning off the encryption on your network temporarily an option for you? | 03:18 |
| jmichaelx | but this is ralink... maybe a similar problem , though | 03:18 |
| jmichaelx | raylu: i can connect just fine to encrypted networks... it is unencrypted ones i have a problem with | 03:19 |
| david__ | I wish I could remember the module. | 03:19 |
| sFEARs | how do i find out how much hard disk space i have left.. i don't have an internet connection on my other computer & disk usage analyzer isn't installed? | 03:21 |
| jmichaelx | i am going to quit fighting this, and just buy an intel mini-pci card from ebay..... it sucks to have to do that, but it is probably the best solution | 03:21 |
| david__ | sFear df | 03:22 |
| sFEARs | thanks | 03:22 |
| rignes | Every once in a while my laptop with Kubuntu install will suspend to disk even though the power is turned on. Anyone else see this happen or is it just me? | 03:22 |
| rignes | I should rephrase that. Even though the AC is plugged in. ;) | 03:23 |
| sFEARs | do you have it set to hibernat if not being used after x amount of minues rignes | 03:23 |
| etfb | rignes: check the power settings - left click battery icon on taskbar | 03:23 |
| sFEARs | hibernate* | 03:23 |
| rignes | Not that I know of. I'll check the settings quick. | 03:23 |
| rignes | If it is set it's set to a very high value. In the hours. | 03:24 |
| tehm0nk | anyone here on a windows box? | 03:24 |
| tehm0nk | i need some uber help lol | 03:24 |
| sFEARs | sup m0nk? | 03:24 |
| tehm0nk | someone to get the files out of the nvidia drivers for raid... | 03:24 |
| etfb | tehm0nk: I have one sitting in front of me, switched off. What do you need? | 03:24 |
| tehm0nk | so i can put them on a floppy here | 03:24 |
| tehm0nk | in kubuntu live cd | 03:25 |
| tehm0nk | heh | 03:25 |
| tehm0nk | i got the floppy to show but i can't get the drivers in... files form | 03:25 |
| etfb | tehm0nk: Why do you need a Windoze box for that? | 03:25 |
| tehm0nk | lol... | 03:25 |
| tehm0nk | because all the crap from nvidia is for Windows... | 03:25 |
| tehm0nk | and i'm trying to install winxp before kubuntu | 03:25 |
| tehm0nk | winxp will NOT recognize sata raid in the install without the sata raid drivers on a floppy | 03:26 |
| tehm0nk | with the f6 method | 03:26 |
| rignes | etfb: Nope, it's set to do nothing on mains power. | 03:26 |
| tehm0nk | i even Tried hoping my tinyxp disk maybe had the drivers on it already | 03:26 |
| tehm0nk | but no it didn't recognize it... | 03:27 |
| sakthian | pls tell some commands to check the current running program in kubuntu | 03:27 |
| david__ | sakthian ps ax | less | 03:27 |
| tehm0nk | i'm new to linux so... | 03:27 |
| rignes | The only thing I can think of is it may think that the lid is closed and go into hibernate because of that. | 03:27 |
| tehm0nk | i dont think i could figure out how to make it do that... | 03:27 |
| bazhang | top sakthian | 03:27 |
| tehm0nk | without a windows box | 03:28 |
| etfb | rignes: what about the laptop lid option? Maybe it's getting pressed somehow. Switch it off. | 03:28 |
| tehm0nk | and i dont know anything about vmware or whatever | 03:28 |
| Morningsickness | I pee on stuff all the time. I pee in the sink, in piles of dirty clothes. sometimes in the living room, then blame it on the dog. at parties I've peed on peoples beds. I've never rented a hotel room without pissing all over it. I also love pissing in guys mouths. I could never tell someone that I loved that I like this, so I have to have casual sexual encounters with nasty guys who want to drink my piss. oh well. | 03:28 |
| rignes | Maybe a faulty switch? It's not consistent in time. | 03:28 |
| tehm0nk | Morningsickness: that is just wrong. | 03:28 |
| etfb | tehm0nk: don't feed the troll. Is there an op here who can kick the bot? | 03:29 |
| rignes | It was sitting for about 5 hours streaming music on the other side of the room and just hibernated on it's own today. I'll turn off the hibernate on lid close and see if it goes away. | 03:29 |
| sFEARs | i at least hope Morningsickness is a woman | 03:29 |
| etfb | sFEARs: don't feed the troll | 03:29 |
| fignew | Morningsickness: known troll/spammer | 03:29 |
| sFEARs | awwww.. but trolls are so cute | 03:29 |
| fignew | He got banned from #archlinux the other day :) | 03:29 |
| tehm0nk | ok in a crazy attempt i'm installing wine via adept | 03:30 |
| tehm0nk | how/what do i do next? | 03:30 |
| Morningsickness | .Dear Alice, | 03:30 |
| Morningsickness | I am (still!) a virgin and have a question about the hymen. I know mine is not entirely intact, because I did a lot of horseback riding as a child. But as I'm not a tampon-user (nor wish to become one), I'm not exactly sure how painful intercourse will be, for the first time, nor what will happen to the hymen. | 03:30 |
| Morningsickness | I always assumed it was a thin membrane that, upon penetration, would shrink evenly to the sides. But I seem to have what you might call a flesh tab, and though I've looked at pictures offered in Our Bodies, Ourselves, I'm not sure I understand how an opening will be created, and have the horrifying idea that a piece of flesh is going to drop out or be torn right out of me. Is it normal to have a flesh tab? What wil | 03:30 |
| Morningsickness | Yours, Tawanda | 03:30 |
| Morningsickness | that 14 year old black girl in the sexed class i teach | 03:30 |
| etfb | sFEARs: lightning essay quiz: 10,000 words on "why trolls aren't cute". Due on my desk 9am tomorrow. Get to work! | 03:30 |
| Morningsickness | she is sexy in the plastic unicorn berets in the cornrows | 03:30 |
| Morningsickness | kind of way | 03:30 |
| fignew | !ops | 03:31 |
| ubotu | Help! Riddell, fdoving, Mez, stdin, jpatrick, seth_k, apokryphos, nalioth, Hobbsee, robotgeek, imbrandon, gnomefreak, Hawkwind, trappist, LjL, Jucato, haggai, fooishbar, crimsun, seth, apokryphos, DBO, nixternal, PriceChild or ardchoille! | 03:31 |
| rignes | Another thought, maybe a faulty power supply or power port. It may be loosing power and suspending due to lack of use. I'll have to experiment. | 03:31 |
| fignew | danke :D | 03:31 |
| etfb | nixternal: thank you | 03:31 |
| sakthian | how to open task manager in kubuntu | 03:31 |
| nixternal | no prob...he did the same garbage yesterday in #ubuntu | 03:31 |
| etfb | sakthian: Ctrl+Esc is pretty much what you want | 03:31 |
| etfb | nixternal: some people just don't cope well with living in their mother's basement and using Win98, do they? | 03:32 |
| fignew | I'd think that it would get boring after a while :P | 03:32 |
| sFEARs | haha | 03:32 |
| sFEARs | wait.. what's wrong with 98 | 03:32 |
| sakthian | thank you | 03:32 |
| damone | how can I specify which X display to run a program on? | 03:33 |
| nixternal | guess not :) | 03:33 |
| neville | Windows 98 is still good =] | 03:34 |
| sFEARs | works better than vista | 03:34 |
| neville | Hahaha, by miles =P | 03:35 |
| jac0b | does anyone know a good mp3/ogg/aac/m4a encoder | 03:35 |
| * etfb regrets mentioning the w-word | 03:35 | |
| fignew | jac0b: GUI? | 03:35 |
| david__ | sFEARs ... dos multitasks better than vista. | 03:35 |
| flaccid | windows 90 is insecure, vuln and discontinued | 03:35 |
| jac0b | yeah preferrably with a GUI | 03:35 |
| mox69__ | david: dos doesnt multitask at all lol | 03:35 |
| tehm0nk | i tried to use dolphin to paste the files from the wine C: dir to the floppy and i got a access is denied error... | 03:35 |
| tehm0nk | ? | 03:35 |
| tehm0nk | any help | 03:35 |
| flaccid | windows 98 i mean | 03:35 |
| flaccid | don't use it | 03:35 |
| david__ | mox and your point ;) | 03:36 |
| neville | Just stop me | 03:36 |
| mox69__ | :) fine lol | 03:36 |
| jac0b | I am looking at soundkonverter but it doesn't give all the options I want | 03:36 |
| fignew | jac0b: I've used kaudiocreator in the past | 03:36 |
| sFEARs | super converter? | 03:36 |
| neville | I don't have a problem with Windows 98, and all this stuff about vulnerabilities can easily be countered by using common sense | 03:36 |
| sFEARs | i don't know if super is available for linux? | 03:36 |
| fignew | but I wasn't 100% happy with it... | 03:36 |
| fignew | YMMV | 03:37 |
| tehm0nk | how can i put stuff on the floppy? | 03:37 |
| tehm0nk | !floppy | 03:37 |
| ubotu | To mount floppy disks, see here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeFloppyDriveAvailableToEveryone | 03:37 |
| damone | how can I specify which X client to display a program on? | 03:38 |
| etfb | damone: what do you mean, exactly? | 03:38 |
| jac0b | I looked at kaudiocreator it only accepts wavs | 03:38 |
| david__ | actaully I should not complain Vista helped me get my mother a cheap linux laptop. | 03:38 |
| bazhang | neville: tell the people in ##windows; they need some good news :} | 03:38 |
| sFEARs | jac0b, audacity? | 03:38 |
| neville | Hahaha | 03:38 |
| neville | I already have =P | 03:39 |
| bazhang | hehe | 03:39 |
| jac0b | sfears: I think that might have to be my option | 03:39 |
| etfb | jac0b: I vaguely recall there's a system called "lame" that might do what you want. Try googling <<lame mp3>> and see what comes up | 03:39 |
| flaccid | neville: what i was suggesting is common sense... | 03:39 |
| flaccid | using windows 98 is stupidity | 03:40 |
| sFEARs | lame will work for mp3 encoding.. might have problems with the m4a one though.. ogg should be installed with his linux | 03:40 |
| neville | So, wanting to play old games that cause nostalgia | 03:40 |
| neville | Which in turn requires the use of Windows 98 | 03:40 |
| neville | Is stupidity, eh? | 03:40 |
| sFEARs | ducktales for nintendo? | 03:41 |
| neville | I am inclined to disagree with you = | 03:41 |
| neville | =]* | 03:41 |
| etfb | neville: have you tried VMWare server? | 03:41 |
| neville | No, I haven't got the money for it | 03:42 |
| etfb | neville: guess again - it's free! | 03:42 |
| tehm0nk | ok so i can't use dolphin to move the files there | 03:42 |
| tehm0nk | how do i do it in terminal | 03:42 |
| neville | D: | 03:42 |
| neville | LINK!!!! | 03:42 |
| neville | QUICK | 03:42 |
| tehm0nk | where is the wine directory? | 03:42 |
| bazhang | neville: vmware.com | 03:43 |
| jac0b | etfb: does it have afrontend | 03:43 |
| etfb | neville: http://www.vmware.com, follow the links to VMware Server, which can run on Linux and The Other OS That Dare Not Speak Its Name | 03:43 |
| bazhang | and mac os too | 03:43 |
| neville | Windows and OS X? =P | 03:43 |
| bazhang | yes | 03:43 |
| sFEARs | don't you have to pay for vmware? | 03:43 |
| neville | Yeah, that's what I was thinking too | 03:44 |
| neville | I know vmplayer is free, but the others | 03:44 |
| bazhang | not for the player | 03:44 |
| neville | I'm not so sure | 03:44 |
| etfb | jac0b: it's pretty typical Linux: a set of libraries and command lines, and ten million GUI frontends written by ten million programmers, all subtly incompatible... | 03:44 |
| sFEARs | subtly being the key word | 03:45 |
| sFEARs | has anybody seen my floating decimal point? | 03:45 |
| sFEARs | ?? | 03:45 |
| etfb | sFEARs, neville: VMWare Server is now free, but has been for only a little while. It's got pretty much everything WorkStation has, although I miss the Shared Folders option (they expect you to use network drives) | 03:45 |
| david__ | Hmm sfears the office space decimal point? | 03:45 |
| neville | USB support? | 03:46 |
| bazhang | yes | 03:46 |
| etfb | (Oh, and by "free" I mean "price = $0", not "unrestricted, free/open source") | 03:46 |
| neville | Because, I don't wanna spend days downloading something that I could just use Virtualbox for =] | 03:46 |
| neville | Yeah, that's how I see free | 03:47 |
| neville | I'm not one of these OSS nuts just yet | 03:47 |
| etfb | neville: it's had USB support for ages | 03:47 |
| neville | And | 03:47 |
| david__ | neville ... give it time enjoy my koolaid ;) | 03:47 |
| neville | Heh | 03:47 |
| sFEARs | wow.. if it's really free i'd love to be able to run mixmesiter.. i'll have to check it out | 03:47 |
| neville | Looks like you win | 03:47 |
| etfb | neville: nothing wrong with being a FLOSS (Free/Libre/Open Source Software) nut. Someone has to be an extremist so we can have more space to play in the middle ground. | 03:47 |
| flaccid | neville: no but using an unsupported OS is. | 03:48 |
| neville | what is your problem, flaccid? | 03:48 |
| david__ | flaccid I thought this was a linux channel why bring up windows. | 03:48 |
| bazhang | eh, stop picking on flaccid :} | 03:49 |
| flaccid | neville: i don't have a problem | 03:50 |
| flaccid | david__: i didn't bring up the subject | 03:50 |
| flaccid | yeah and leave me alone. | 03:50 |
| david__ | heheh okay ;) just having a bit of humor on the unsupported os idea :) | 03:50 |
| bazhang | peace everyone :} | 03:50 |
| neville | Okay | 03:51 |
| sFEARs | later bazhang | 03:51 |
| neville | Truce | 03:51 |
| neville | Peace | 03:51 |
| neville | White flag waving | 03:51 |
| bazhang | sFEARs: see ya | 03:51 |
| sFEARs | white flag.. SHOOT IT SHOOT IT | 03:51 |
| neville | D: | 03:51 |
| bazhang | haha | 03:51 |
| neville | vmware server | 03:53 |
| neville | It seems a little bit corporate-ish, doesn't it? | 03:54 |
| sFEARs | yeah.. doesn't look like it would be free | 03:55 |
| etfb | neville: it does the trick, though. I think it's meant to be used to create loads of virtual machines that can act like a whole rack of real-world servers, for mail, web, stuff like that | 03:55 |
| sFEARs | there's a key componenet missing | 03:55 |
| etfb | neville: but if you just connect locally, it works fine | 03:55 |
| etfb | sFEARs: what's that? | 03:55 |
| sFEARs | i'm not sure.. but it has to be missing in there somewhere | 03:55 |
| bazhang | vmware-tools | 03:56 |
| etfb | sFEARs: you still need to obtain (ie buy) a copy of Windows to be able to create a virtual machine. If you want ten Windows machines, that's ten copies you need to shell out for | 03:57 |
| neville | Hmm, I might just go about getting a copy of vmware workstation instead | 03:57 |
| etfb | I have the license key that came with my laptop before I installed Kubuntu, but if I ever wanted more, I'd have to (a) pay or (b) don an eyepatch and a hook and carry a parrot at all times | 03:57 |
| sFEARs | i think i have a windows cd that will work | 03:57 |
| neville | Option b) | 03:57 |
| neville | Because | 03:58 |
| [B5C]wallabee | what is the best torrent client in kde? | 03:58 |
| sFEARs | eyepatches are back in style.. you didn't know? | 03:58 |
| neville | Microsoft don't deserve money for having a monopoly and creating mediocre software, at best | 03:58 |
| etfb | [B5C]wallabee: ktorrent seems like the only game in town. There's a LOT of crap out there. | 03:58 |
| bazhang | ktorrent or transmission [B5C]wallabee | 03:58 |
| bazhang | neville: arr matey | 03:58 |
| [B5C]wallabee | encryption? | 03:58 |
| etfb | neville: you might very well say that, but I couldn't possibly comment | 03:58 |
| etfb | bazhang: haven't heard of Transmission. How does it compare? | 03:59 |
| neville | I payed for my copy of Windows, but that's about it | 03:59 |
| neville | They'll never get another cent out of me | 03:59 |
| david__ | ktorrent is the one I use when I need one. | 03:59 |
| bazhang | no ports open great for getting linux distros etfb | 03:59 |
| sFEARs | microsoft makes good software.. windows is not good software.. it just has a good pitch to sell it to fund the good software they make | 04:00 |
| david__ | sfears I would agree they do make some good software ... I have run networed windows on diskless systems using shared files ... | 04:01 |
| [B5C]wallabee | does ktorrent have encryption and a web gui? | 04:01 |
| david__ | keeping old files working seems to be its biggest fault. | 04:01 |
| osiris | raylu, rebooted server. FS errors. fixed them and rebooted. all seems well, other than the pita of hooking up a monitor to it | 04:02 |
| etfb | [B5C]wallabee: why do you need encryption? | 04:02 |
| adamonline45 | he's prolly on comcast | 04:02 |
| osiris | thx for the inspiration | 04:02 |
| osiris | [B5C]wallabee, it has both | 04:03 |
| osiris | its what i use | 04:03 |
| etfb | adamonline45: I'm in Australia, but I might as well be on Tau Ceti IV... what does "comcast" mean in this context? | 04:03 |
| bmk789 | is an LVM partition accessible from any LVM compatible *buntu install? | 04:03 |
| adamonline45 | etfb: It's an ISP in the US | 04:03 |
| bazhang | terrible lying isp etfb | 04:03 |
| osiris | comcast is sending RST packet to torrents to try to kill them | 04:03 |
| sFEARs | yeah.. but doesn't mac do the same thing.. they restructure thier whole OS on a regular basis too don't they | 04:03 |
| etfb | osiris: Ah! I've heard of that. Can't you just pick a non-standard port? | 04:04 |
| osiris | google sandvine and comcast | 04:04 |
| osiris | i do that too, but sandvine reads the packet header | 04:04 |
| etfb | osiris: but I have IRC! I don't need to pray to Google! | 04:04 |
| osiris | im on comcast and dont have problems | 04:05 |
| etfb | osiris: ah, that's a bugger, and no mistake. Well, if ktorrent has encryption as you say, it's probably worth a go, [B5C]wallabee! What do you need the Web GUI for? | 04:05 |
| osiris | use the IP block plugin, the bandwidth schedule, and a non standard port range + encryption | 04:05 |

| neville | Looks like I'll be connected to the internet for a few days | 04:07 |
| neville | Hahaha | 04:08 |
| etfb | neville: don't you have high-speed broadband? | 04:08 |
| neville | 33.6k dialup for me, good sir | 04:09 |
| osiris | ouch | 04:09 |
| neville | I currently have a lag of 6 seconds, due to looking on the vmware site =] | 04:09 |
| etfb | neville: Oh my god! You've somehow connected from the distant past! Amazing! STAY OUT OF THE WORLD TRADE CENTER IN 2001!!! | 04:09 |

| * bazhang expects the room to get slapped for offtopic momentarily | 04:12 | |
| * etfb just disconnected himself by accident, mid conversation | 04:12 | |
| etfb | bazhang: quite right. Must ask on-topic question... <thinks> | 04:12 |
| bazhang | haha | 04:13 |
| etfb | Anyone know how to make knetworkmanager connect to a wifi access point automatically when I disconnect the wired connection? | 04:13 |
| sFEARs | well i'd talk about kubuntu but i know absolutely everthing there possibly is to know about it | 04:13 |
| neville | Can somebody tell me the advantages of running Kubuntu over windows 98se? -P | 04:13 |
| neville | =P* | 04:13 |
| etfb | sFEARs: Oh my god! Mark Shuttleworth, is that you? Can I have a million rand? | 04:13 |
| sFEARs | yes you can.. i just can't tell you how | 04:14 |
| jac0b | does anyone else have the problem with xmms not being able to control the volume | 04:14 |
| etfb | jac0b: Why are you using xmms? I saw a damning review of it in Linux Format. Everyone loves Amarok, apparently... | 04:15 |
| osiris | why ? | 04:15 |
| osiris | amarok is SOOO heavy for smaller systems | 04:15 |
| sFEARs | well for one thing neville kubuntu is african.. and windows is obviously english.. and everyone knows african is better.. becuase good is dumb! | 04:15 |
| osiris | bad space balls reference aside | 04:16 |
| neville | Heh | 04:16 |
| etfb | sFEARs: your cunning logic makes my head hurt | 04:16 |
| sFEARs | haha | 04:16 |
| etfb | So, jac0b - why xmms? Do you want me to find the LXF article and tell you what they recommend instead, apart from that well-known memory hog Amarok? | 04:17 |
| mox69__ | xmms is the closest to winamp | 04:17 |
| jac0b | nah | 04:17 |
| mox69__ | and it has always worked fine for me | 04:17 |
| mox69__ | xmms is the only player that seems to work on my system for streaming radio.. | 04:17 |
| jac0b | i removed it | 04:17 |
| sFEARs | audacious is like winamp too | 04:17 |
| * etfb goes to find the article, because it has some good points on exactly this topic | 04:18 | |
| sFEARs | not sure if audacious has streaming radio | 04:18 |
| [B5C]wallabee | ktorrent is really nice | 04:19 |
| jac0b | doesn't amarok stream | 04:19 |
| [B5C]wallabee | but get only about 700 k | 04:19 |
| [B5C]wallabee | maybe its the old torrent | 04:19 |
| etfb | jac0b: if I weren't maxing my memory with VMWare, I'd be listening to internet radio on Amarok right now, so: yes it does | 04:19 |
| sFEARs | m0nk.. i got my xp box up and running if you still need those drivers | 04:20 |
| sFEARs | not that he's still here | 04:21 |

| misslissa | how do i configure my printer to work | 04:35 |
| misslissa | I downloaded the driver | 04:35 |
| ardchoille | 04:35 | |
| ubotu | Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows | 04:35 |
| misslissa | thanks | 04:36 |
| Dr_willis | what printer may this be? Most all drivers are allready included, or are in the repos. No need to download anything. | 04:36 |
| misslissa | Canon iP1800 | 04:36 |
| Dr_willis | ICK!~~!~ | 04:36 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 04:36 |
| Dr_willis | I got an ip1600 - its the wifes.. for her xp system. | 04:36 |
| misslissa | I downloaded the driver and its not listed under printers when I go to add | 04:36 |
| Dr_willis | i am reminded why i will never buy another canon printer. :) | 04:36 |
| misslissa | for some reason my printer doesnt read | 04:36 |
| dsmith_ | ewwww canon ip series | 04:37 |
| misslissa | and I have kubuntu as my main operating system | 04:37 |
| misslissa | i know | 04:37 |
| dsmith_ | we have a ip1700 here | 04:37 |
| misslissa | it came free with my computer | 04:37 |
| Dr_willis | im suprised you found somthing to download actually | 04:37 |
| dsmith_ | I could never get the thing to work | 04:37 |
| Dr_willis | misslissa, i got a free canon with my last pc.. I gave it away as a gift. :) | 04:37 |
| misslissa | now i know why because the ink makes up for the "free" printer in cost | 04:37 |
| === david__ is now known as cuking_1 | ||
| dsmith_ | there is a website talking about drivers that will work, but alas they are not free | 04:37 |
| misslissa | and its not supported by linux | 04:37 |
| Dr_willis | actually the ink cost was not too bad for what my wife was doing. | 04:37 |
| dsmith_ | what ver. kubuntu? | 04:37 |
| Dr_willis | compared to some other printers | 04:38 |
| misslissa | 7.10 | 04:38 |
| misslissa | I love it | 04:38 |
| dsmith_ | get a HP 10022 | 04:38 |
| dsmith_ | er.. 1022 | 04:38 |
| misslissa | I got beryl up and running and its awesome | 04:38 |
| dsmith_ | we have a 1020 but that was a pain to get running | 04:38 |
| dsmith_ | 1022s work | 04:38 |
| dsmith_ | besides thats all I know on printers.. besides the older HP and new HP network printers function | 04:39 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. TurboPrint has some Canon printer drivers now.. thats cool.. :) at least the exist. | 04:39 |
| dsmith_ | Dr_willis: those are not free I think | 04:39 |
| Dr_willis | dsmith_, correct.. they are not.. BUT at least they exist | 04:40 |
| dsmith_ | yes | 04:40 |
| Dr_willis | and what seems to happen is that after a while they slowly get put into the free cups drivers. at least thats how it happend to me a few yrs back | 04:40 |
| Dr_willis | I had some printer had to use Turboprint, then a year later it was free. :) | 04:41 |
| Dr_willis | dang - they got a LOT of canon ip printers supported now. | 04:41 |

| maduser | 01101000011010010000110100001010 | 04:45 |
| thebanana | as of gutsy, it doesn't look like ivman is used anymore for automounting | 04:45 |
| thebanana | (at least it's not installed on my system) so, how does kde do the automounting? | 04:45 |
| erin | So I take it since no one talks in the default channel, there isn't anyone paying attention enough to help me | 04:51 |
| cuking_1 | erin what is the question? | 04:51 |
| bazhang | erin: ask away | 04:51 |
| erin | Basically I'm just having trouble working this program. I've never used anything IRC before, and this is my first time tinkering witht his client. | 04:52 |
| bazhang | konversation erin? | 04:52 |
| erin | yeah | 04:52 |
| maduser | what do you need to do? | 04:53 |

| Dr_willis | - /join #SpiffyChannel | 04:53 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 04:53 |
| bazhang | haha | 04:53 |
| erin | There isn't a list or anything, so I take it I'd have to change server or something.. | 04:54 |
| cuking_1 | erin on the menu under file is a join command ... | 04:54 |
| erin | To a server with more stuff on it? | 04:54 |
| Dr_willis | depends on your irc client | 04:54 |
| erin | I've gotten that far | 04:54 |
| cuking_1 | erin .... I think /list works but .... lots of data | 04:54 |
| Dr_willis | Most come with dozens of irc networks in their server listings | 04:54 |
| erin | This does not. | 04:54 |
| Dr_willis | /list shows channel listings for This server (which is part of the freenode network) | 04:54 |
| Dr_willis | Other networks got diffrent channels. | 04:55 |
| Dr_willis | other freenode servers all are 'here' in these channels. | 04:55 |

| tehm0nk | how do you mount a floppy | 05:17 |
| tehm0nk | the method in !floppy did not work. | 05:17 |

| tehm0nk | But... | 05:21 |
| tehm0nk | like the C: of wine | 05:21 |
| sFEARs | ahhh.. tar | 05:21 |
| tehm0nk | i extrated drivers there | 05:21 |
| raylu | oh, it's ~/.wine/drive_c by default | 05:21 |
| tehm0nk | from an exe | 05:21 |
| m1k3 | ~/.wine/drive_c ? | 05:21 |
| tehm0nk | o0o lemme try that | 05:21 |
| raylu | huh? you can't wine drivers | 05:21 |
| tehm0nk | from root? | 05:22 |
| tehm0nk | ok | 05:22 |
| raylu | er, ~ is shorthand for $HOME | 05:22 |
| tehm0nk | the only driver package i can get from nvidia is a EXE file | 05:22 |

| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 05:22 |
| raylu | does...that help? | 05:22 |
| tehm0nk | not in the slightest | 05:22 |
| raylu | the exe ultimately will just unpack windows drivers | 05:22 |
| tehm0nk | right now i'm trying to get my sata raid drivers on a floppy | 05:22 |
| tehm0nk | to install windowsxp | 05:22 |
| raylu | there's no way you need an exe to install nvidia drivers | 05:23 |
| raylu | then...what does nvidia have to do with this? | 05:23 |
| tehm0nk | lmfao | 05:23 |
| tehm0nk | cause they're nforce raid | 05:23 |
| raylu | OH | 05:23 |
| tehm0nk | Nvidia MediaSheild Raid | 05:23 |
| raylu | this is not a graphics driver | 05:23 |
| tehm0nk | :-P | 05:23 |
| tehm0nk | no sir | 05:23 |
| tehm0nk | lol | 05:23 |

| tehm0nk | i got them to extract already just can't find them | 05:23 |
| tehm0nk | to drag to the floppy. | 05:23 |
| tehm0nk | lol | 05:23 |
| tehm0nk | Again and hope they work this time | 05:24 |
| raylu | i see. if you want wincfg will allow you to configure the various drives | 05:24 |
| tehm0nk | i did this in kubuntu | 05:24 |
| tehm0nk | but it didn't | 05:24 |
| raylu | anyway, i have to go now | 05:24 |
| tehm0nk | this time i'm going to add more | 05:24 |
| tehm0nk | on the dist | 05:24 |
| tehm0nk | raylu, u fail :-P | 05:24 |

| sFEARs | mabey i can't enable wireless networking on the live cd? | 05:53 |
| nnaushahi | it wont save settings probably, ,thats why | 05:54 |
| sFEARs | it should save them locally though.. just won't save on reboot | 05:54 |
| nnaushahi | not sure, am newbie | 05:55 |
| sFEARs | thanks anyway | 05:55 |

| tehm0nk | So... | 06:44 |
| tehm0nk | i can't get winxp to work whatsoever | 06:44 |
| tehm0nk | even with a driver disk that doesn't error | 06:44 |
| tehm0nk | it tells me no disks found | 06:44 |
| tehm0nk | and i dont have a vista disk | 06:45 |
| tehm0nk | so i'm going to just install kubuntu | 06:45 |
| tehm0nk | hmm | 06:45 |
| tehm0nk | but | 06:45 |
| tehm0nk | i can't figure out how to partition it again lol | 06:45 |
| tehm0nk | lost my link | 06:45 |
| tehm0nk | gparted? | 06:45 |
| tehm0nk | does that work with kubuntu? | 06:46 |
| mgolden | tehm0nk: when you use the live CD it isn't offering you a step to partition the disk? | 06:47 |
| ardchoille | tehm0nk: Yes, most gnome apps work in kde | 06:47 |
| tehm0nk | i'll try with the installer | 06:50 |
| tehm0nk | i want to make multiple parts tho | 06:50 |
| sigma_kubuntu | where can i ask a question about greylisting? | 06:50 |
| tehm0nk | one DEAD part at the beginning for windows & windows swap for later on.... | 06:50 |
| sigma_kubuntu | tehm0nk: windows swap is just a file. not a partition | 06:51 |
| tehm0nk | i know but the boot stuff wants a place too | 06:52 |
| tehm0nk | so i wanted a ntfs part at the beginning for windows | 06:52 |
| tehm0nk | but i dont see it in the install part... | 06:52 |
| sigma_kubuntu | its the pagefile.sys file in your win partition | 06:52 |
| tehm0nk | sigma no cause i'm not a window retard | 06:53 |
| tehm0nk | i dont put my pagefile there | 06:53 |
| tehm0nk | ever | 06:53 |
| tehm0nk | not in the windows partition | 06:53 |
| tehm0nk | fragmentation ftl | 06:53 |
| tehm0nk | since 98se i've done what i do | 06:53 |
| sigma_kubuntu | it should be on the face of the harddrive but thats only if its enabled | 06:53 |
| tehm0nk | ok here is what i *want* | 06:54 |
| sigma_kubuntu | it dnt make a diff where that pagefile is | 06:54 |
| tehm0nk | 1. ntfs 3gb part for windows pagefile.sys and boot.ini 2. linux boot dunno the size to make that 3. linux swap 4. linux "/" 5 linux /home 6 for vista 7 storage | 06:55 |
| tehm0nk | sigma i hate to say it but i really beg to differ | 06:55 |
| tehm0nk | if it's in with the windows OS | 06:55 |
| tehm0nk | on that partition the pagefile helps fragment the drive as it grows shrinks. | 06:56 |
| sigma_kubuntu | bsander: with some fiddling i got the tv out working:) thanks a mil. why can't i use my mouse on the tv though? | 06:56 |

| tehm0nk | qtparted? | 07:01 |
| tehm0nk | is that in adept? | 07:01 |
| tehm0nk | or do i have to find it? | 07:01 |
| sigma_kubuntu | satmanuk: no u must create one manually. download kmysqladmin to do it. you dont have apache installed hey? | 07:01 |
| SatManUK | i do have apache installed | 07:01 |
| tehm0nk | ack nm found that | 07:01 |

| sigma_kubuntu | tehm0nk: i got it from packages.ubuntu.com | 07:01 |
| tehm0nk | duh nm | 07:01 |

| Daisuke_Ido | !d3lphin | etfb | 07:02 |
| ubotu | etfb: 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. | 07:02 |
| tehm0nk | does qtparted work with Raid? | 07:02 |
| tehm0nk | heh | 07:02 |
| sigma_kubuntu | satmanuk: ok rather download a php tool called phpmyadmin, u do have php installed hey? | 07:02 |
| etfb | Daisuke_Ido: thankyou! I'd offer to have your babies if I were able. I _hate_ Dolphin! | 07:02 |
| Daisuke_Ido | etfb: wait until kde4's release before saying that | 07:03 |
| tehm0nk | it's showing each of my hd's separate | 07:03 |
| tehm0nk | and dmraid is installed and working | 07:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | the version in gutsy's 3.5 has actually been abandoned for some time, it's a very porr filemanager. | 07:03 |
| SatManUK | if its not it will install it as a dependancy anyway.. | 07:03 |
| SatManUK | hold on | 07:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | poor* | 07:03 |
| Daisuke_Ido | the actual dolphin in kde4 is pretty nice though | 07:04 |
| etfb | Daisuke_Ido: Why? Will there be a new version that doesn't have BROKEN TRANSLATION messages everywhere and will actually do all the things that I miss from Konq, like the Shift+Delete menu option? | 07:04 |
| tehm0nk | kde4 isn't released? | 07:04 |
| etfb | tehm0nk: not till next month | 07:04 |
| SatManUK | downloading php5 now | 07:04 |
| etfb | tehm0nk: I can't wait! | 07:04 |
| tehm0nk | so i'm a month early at messing with linux :-P | 07:04 |
| tehm0nk | lol | 07:04 |
| sigma_kubuntu | satmanuk: yeah its much easier to use phpmyadmin than kmysqladmin | 07:05 |
| SatManUK | ok | 07:05 |
| etfb | Daisuke_Ido: it works! Oh gods, what a relief! | 07:06 |
| SatManUK | ok its installed | 07:06 |
| SatManUK | php and phpmyadmin | 07:06 |
| SatManUK | its configured apache2 | 07:06 |
| sigma_kubuntu | satmanuk: u can find phpmyadmin by googling it. u need to put it in \var\www somewhere | 07:06 |
| SatManUK | its in apt | 07:06 |
| FireCrotch | or sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin | 07:06 |
| SatManUK | i done it | 07:07 |
| ishnayder | update to 7.10 just failed. could not configure bunch of packages due to dependency problems???? system may not be in a runnable state? any sugesstions? | 07:07 |
| sigma_kubuntu | oh ok well open phpmyadmin- shud open from web browser | 07:07 |
| etfb | IS anyone still using PHP4 under Gutsy? Installing is a pain, because you need to install Apache from source as well, otherwise it has the wrong options -- right? | 07:07 |
| sigma_kubuntu | etfb: why not use php 5? | 07:08 |
| SatManUK | how to i access phpmyadmin now from a browser? | 07:08 |
| SatManUK | http://localhost/phpmyadmin? | 07:08 |
| etfb | sigma_kubuntu: because one of the web hosts I do dev work for only has PHP4. | 07:08 |
| SatManUK | thats a good guess.. | 07:08 |
| SatManUK | it worked | 07:09 |
| etfb | sigma_kubuntu: the PHP team messed up the upgrade to PHP5 so badly that most ISPs still don't use it | 07:09 |
| sigma_kubuntu | eftb: well thats pretty sad. y dont they upgrade? | 07:09 |
| FireCrotch | etfb: you shouldn't have to install apache from source to use php4 | 07:09 |
| SatManUK | so then yes in KMyAdmin Catalogues are Databases and I have created a database called TuxShop | 07:09 |
| etfb | sigma_kubuntu: because the vast majority of their users are almost computer illiterate, and couldn't handle the inevitable errors if they upgraded | 07:09 |
| sigma_kubuntu | satmanuk: did u manage2 create the new database? | 07:09 |
| etfb | sigma_kubuntu: that's why PHP5 failed so dismally in the wider marketplace | 07:10 |
| sigma_kubuntu | ok try installing it again | 07:10 |
| etfb | FireCrotch: the problem is that you need to reconfigure with the --enable-so option, and as far as I can tell, I can't do that without just installing the lot from source and bypassing apt. Have you tried? | 07:10 |
| tehm0nk | can ALL linux partitions be encased in a extended partition by this i mean, /boot, swap, "/", /home?? | 07:11 |
| tehm0nk | uh oh! it's FireCrotch again | 07:11 |
| sigma_kubuntu | eftb: i see. i didnt upgrade so didnt have that problem | 07:11 |
| ardchoille | !lamp | etfb there's more info on how to install here | 07:12 |
| ubotu | etfb there's more info on how to install here: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) | 07:12 |
| FireCrotch | etfb: I've used php4 on gutsy-server, it was just a simple apt-get install libapache2-mod-php4 | 07:12 |
| mgolden | Does anyone here know anything about the kde4 RC2 live CD? | 07:12 |
| ardchoille | FireCrotch: Yeah | 07:12 |
| mgolden | I am trying it with my old Sony Vaio PCG-XG19 | 07:12 |
| mgolden | and unless I start it in safe graphics mode | 07:13 |
| etfb | FireCrotch: is that in the standard repositories. I didn't notice it. Will it set everything up? I figured a lib* package was purely the backend C libraries, no front-end parser/web stuff | 07:13 |
| mgolden | it starts, then immediately crashes, then restarts | 07:13 |
| mgolden | over and over again | 07:14 |
| sigma_kubuntu | mgolden: its probably still got a few bugs | 07:14 |
| etfb | mgolden: I've got a copy from a magazine that I was planning to try. Have you tried it on a different machine? | 07:14 |
| tehm0nk | can /boot be in a logical partition or no? | 07:14 |
| FireCrotch | etfb: You need to install php4 and libapache2-mod-php4 | 07:14 |
| FireCrotch | !info libapache2-mod-php4 | 07:14 |
| ubotu | Package libapache2-mod-php4 does not exist in gutsy | 07:14 |
| FireCrotch | Okay, that's impossible, I know I've used it | 07:15 |
| mgolden | sigma_kubuntu: sure - I am wondering if it does something new and different with X11, and where should I repot this behavior? | 07:15 |
| mgolden | etfb: yes, it starts on my Dell Inspiron 6400 | 07:16 |
| etfb | FireCrotch: Package libapache2-mod-php4 is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 07:16 |
| etfb | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 07:16 |
| etfb | is only available from another source | 07:16 |
| etfb | E: Package libapache2-mod-php4 has no installation candidate | 07:16 |
| FireCrotch | Yeah, I just got that when I tried to install it here on this box | 07:16 |
| ardchoille | FireCrotch: iirc, only libapache2-mod-php5 is ingutsy | 07:16 |
| etfb | FireCrotch: pretty much indicates that it's in some non-standard repos. I've got uni/multi and some medibuntu ones in there. Any guesses where else it might live, or shall I pray to Google? | 07:17 |
| sigma_kubuntu | mgolden: it prob does. its not that supported so u should wait for the final release. perhaps u should submit a bug to the kde team? | 07:17 |
| mgolden | etfb: I actually burned it twice because I thought there might have been a problem with the burn | 07:17 |
| mgolden | sigma{kubuntu: do you mean in launchpad? | 07:18 |
| FireCrotch | etfb: Hmmmm, I have no idea, I only have official repos enabled | 07:18 |
| etfb | ardchoille: Yes, I remember reading the justification for the omission, that "PHP4 is no longer supported". Never mind that those of us who live in the real world don't get to upgrade just because some unpaid Ubuntu-maintainer twonk says we should... | 07:18 |
| sigma_kubuntu | no i mean at bugs.kde.org | 07:18 |
| SatManUK | sigma_kubuntu: i think the program wants to create its own database.. | 07:18 |
| SatManUK | it asks for the root password | 07:19 |
| etfb | mgolden: Clarify for me. It works on your Dell 6400 but not on another machine? | 07:19 |
| ardchoille | etfb: In all fairness, the ubuntu developers know what they're doing and may have information that you and I don't have. | 07:19 |

| SatManUK | is that an apt package or not? | 07:28 |
| sigma_kubuntu | thats what i using. sum one made a gutsy package with full instructions | 07:29 |
| ardchoille | SatManUK: You can search your package cache with: apt-cache search quasar | 07:29 |
| sigma_kubuntu | its in the ubuntu forum. search for quasar | 07:29 |
| sigma_kubuntu | its not in the repo for some odd reason | 07:30 |
| SatManUK | i found it in linuxcanada but in rpm.. | 07:31 |
| ardchoille | SatManUK: http://www.linuxcanada.com/ | 07:31 |
| SatManUK | ok to alien it in | 07:31 |
| ardchoille | SatManUK: No, using alien is dangerous | 07:32 |
| ardchoille | !alien | SatManUK | 07:32 |
| ubotu | SatManUK: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous) | 07:32 |
| sigma_kubuntu | no satmanuk theres a prebuilt deb in ubuntuforums.org | 07:32 |
| SatManUK | im going their now | 07:32 |
| sigma_kubuntu | and it works perfectly | 07:33 |
| === page is now known as Page | ||
| === Page is now known as Fruny | ||
| sigma_kubuntu | so if i search with kmldonkey. il get the same results as searching with limewire? | 07:35 |
| SatManUK | im downloading Quasar deb now | 07:36 |
| neville__ | Just use Frostwire | 07:36 |
| SatManUK | im following the how to that was created yesterday | 07:36 |
| SatManUK | for postgres | 07:36 |
| Ayabara | I have bought a creative zen mp3 player that I want to use with Ubuntu. When I plug it in nothing happens. Amarok sees no devices to connect to. libmtp is installed. | 07:37 |
| sigma_kubuntu | neville: i dnt wana use a java app. so will kmlmonkey do the same job? | 07:37 |
| neville__ | I've never used any of them to be honest, I just run Shareaza in wine =] | 07:37 |
| ardchoille | Ayabara: The only thing I could find for Creative Zen was this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=199250 | 07:38 |
| sigma_kubuntu | isnt there something in help.ubuntu.com for the zen in community docs? | 07:39 |
| Ayabara | ardchoille: thanks. I'll give the thread a go | 07:40 |
| ardchoille | sigma_kubuntu: The only thing I could find was a link to the page I posted | 07:41 |
| SatManUK | 52% downloaded.. | 07:41 |
| SatManUK | its shame its not included in the distro.. | 07:41 |
| SatManUK | i would be able to download it 10 times faster.. | 07:41 |
| ardchoille | SatManUK: Quasar? | 07:42 |
| SatManUK | yeah | 07:42 |
| SatManUK | but i guess its somebodies built package.. | 07:42 |
| SatManUK | its not officially licenced under kubuntu.. | 07:42 |
| ardchoille | SatManUK: Quasar isn't included in the distro because it's closed source, and I think you have to purchase it | 07:42 |
| SatManUK | and no doubt costs a fortune.. | 07:42 |

| XceII | Quasar: Works in a drawer. | 07:42 |
| ardchoille | hi XceII | 07:43 |
| XceII | Hey sweetie. | 07:43 |
| sigma_kubuntu | satmanuk: its not closed source! | 07:43 |
| XceII | I saw your papers...nice work.. | 07:43 |
| sigma_kubuntu | satmanuk: it used to be but they changed it | 07:44 |
| XceII | Windows is not an opeating system,,It is a psyop. | 07:44 |
| ardchoille | SatManUK: My bad, I was wrong.. after further reading I found "Quasar Accounting Software is 100% GPL" | 07:44 |
| sigma_kubuntu | u only pay for the pos addon but thats for support | 07:46 |
| SatManUK | does that mean though your supposed to purchase it for commerical purposes but not for non commerical? | 07:46 |
| XceII | Hey sigma.. | 07:46 |
| sigma_kubuntu | hey XceII | 07:47 |
| sky_ | Hi... I'm trying to use kopete to see my windows live message account for the first time | 07:47 |
| XceII | Lol sigma..I love U 2. | 07:48 |
| sky_ | however, i only got the folders, but no users show up... | 07:48 |
| XceII | Good folk. | 07:48 |
| sigma_kubuntu | satmanuk: no the pos version must be purchased for any purpose | 07:48 |
| XceII | stifles. | 07:48 |
| SatManUK | sky_: have you set to view online users? | 07:48 |
| sky_ | can someone help me to get my MSN users on my kopete? | 07:48 |
| SatManUK | if they are offline click on the icon | 07:48 |
| SatManUK | and show offline users | 07:48 |
| SatManUK | ah ok | 07:49 |
| sky_ | SatManUK: hmm yea i have the "show offline" and "show empty groups" clicked | 07:49 |
| SatManUK | well i don't need that - atm anyhow | 07:49 |
| SatManUK | and you clicked the little +'s? | 07:49 |
| sky_ | and I'm sure at least some users are online, so I don't know where they went. | 07:49 |
| Slynderdale | Hmm, anyone know of a good gmail notification application for linux? | 07:49 |
| sky_ | beside the folders, there are no "+"'s | 07:49 |
| NickPresta | Slynderdale, gmail-notify. It's in the repos | 07:50 |
| sky_ | I go to configure -> accounts -> <MSN account> -> Contacts, and I only see 1 contact there on the "allowed contacts", and no one else | 07:51 |
| Slynderdale | NickPresta: There seems to be like three in there, hence why I was asking | 07:51 |
| sky_ | it's obviously my first time using kopete... weird that it got all my folders but only 1 out of my 300 users | 07:51 |
| NickPresta | Slynderdale, okay. I was just pointing out gmail-notify. I like it | 07:52 |
| sky_ | any other suggestions on what i can try? | 07:52 |
| XceII | Just a note: Are we giving google too much leeway to our privy with allowing silent allowance?, Something to think about. | 07:53 |
| sigma_kubuntu | sky: try sumting besides kopete | 07:54 |
| sigma_kubuntu | XceII: just dont deal with google | 07:54 |
| ardchoille | !ot | 07:55 |

| hypernewbie | hey guys, ive got a slight problem thats very annoying | 07:56 |
| NickPresta | hypernewbie, what seems to be the problem? | 07:56 |
| hypernewbie | when i installed kubuntu on my compaq presario v2000, it worked fine | 07:56 |
| sigma_kubuntu | sky: wouldnt know. ive only used jabber | 07:56 |
| hypernewbie | acpi was perfect except i couldnt hibernate(i dont have enough enough swap so thats no surprize) | 07:56 |
| Ayabara | anyone know where I can get some help with libmtp stuff? | 07:57 |
| hypernewbie | i could suspend fine | 07:57 |
| hypernewbie | now, my laptop hangs on a black screen when i g suspend | 07:57 |
| NickPresta | Ayabara, what do you need help with? | 07:57 |
| hypernewbie | and when i used to hibernate, it'll try to hibernate then say not enough swap then come back | 07:57 |
| hypernewbie | now when i hibernate, it is the same black screen lock result | 07:57 |
| Ayabara | NickPresta: I try to connect to my Creative Zen in Gutsy. Gnomad2 gives me some mtp errors. Hold on and I will pastebin them. | 07:57 |
| sigma_kubuntu | hypernewbie: i get that 2. thats y i dont hibernate or suspend | 07:57 |
| hypernewbie | is ther any way to revert acpi settings or something | 07:58 |
| hypernewbie | sigma_kubuntu: haha, but this is a laptop :P | 07:58 |
| NickPresta | Ayabara, can you connect your device using mtp-connect? (mtp-tools) | 07:58 |
| hypernewbie | sigma_kubuntu: suspend = life | 07:58 |
| sigma_kubuntu | hypernewbie: yeah it also happens on a laptop 4me- dell d600 | 07:59 |
| sigma_kubuntu | hypernewbie: u mean battery life? | 07:59 |
| hypernewbie | sigma_kubuntu: but it USED to work, like if it never worked then fair enough | 07:59 |
| hypernewbie | sigma_kubuntu: yeah | 07:59 |
| hypernewbie | sigma_kubuntu: i USED to be able to suspend fine | 07:59 |
| Ayabara | NickPresta: which arguments should I give mtp-connect? | 08:00 |
| NickPresta | hypernewbie, I know this is (slightly) unhelpful, but if you check here: http://www.google.com/search?q=laptop%20suspend%20black%20screen%20ubuntu there are many, many pages with information regarding your problem. Perhaps you can narrow it down? | 08:00 |
| hypernewbie | sigma_kubuntu: then y2.00712k came and it died | 08:00 |
| sigma_kubuntu | yeah it works til a certain time 4me. then it black screens | 08:00 |
| hypernewbie | haha | 08:00 |
| Ayabara | NickPresta: btw, here is my paste if you care to take a look http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/48413/ | 08:00 |
| hypernewbie | timebomb | 08:00 |
| sky_ | sigma_kubuntu: ok thanks ! | 08:01 |
| NickPresta | Ayabara, which version of libmtp? | 08:01 |
| sigma_kubuntu | hypernewbie: i prefer the devs to fix it. dont wana damage anything | 08:01 |
| Ayabara | NickPresta: mtp-detect says no devices are found | 08:01 |
| SatManUK | i have installed qasar | 08:01 |
| SatManUK | sone all the create users | 08:01 |
| Ayabara | NickPresta: libmtp6 from repositories | 08:01 |
| XceII | People: All the tools work differently, Per Application: It is up to the applicator to differentiate those tools with (shared) experience that allows group experience...Work together. | 08:01 |
| hypernewbie | hmm | 08:01 |
| SatManUK | now it says i need to reboot so.. brb y'all | 08:01 |
| Ayabara | NickPresta: should I compile from source maybe? | 08:01 |
| hypernewbie | sigma_kubuntu: i really REALLY want suspend ... | 08:02 |
| SatManUK | sky_: did you solve your problem? sorry my computer froze doing an install | 08:02 |
| SatManUK | brb after reboot ok | 08:02 |
| hypernewbie | sigma_kubuntu: interesting cause when my comp goes suspend the pwore light flashes, so that means ubuntu isnt having problems resuming | 08:02 |
| hypernewbie | sigma_kubuntu: its having problems suspending in the first place | 08:02 |
| sigma_kubuntu | ok it didnt ask me2reboot | 08:02 |
| NickPresta | Ayabara, version 0.2.1 (libmtp6) should work fine. | 08:03 |
| sigma_kubuntu | hypernewbie: same here but the screen neva re activates | 08:03 |
| NickPresta | Ayabara, when your device is connected, mtp-detect doesn't find anything? | 08:04 |
| sky_ | SatManUK; no I'm still trying to search for answer in the net | 08:04 |
| Ayabara | NickPresta: no, but lsusb has detected it | 08:05 |
| sigma_kubuntu | hypernewbie: wel at least its 90 percent working | 08:06 |
| hypernewbie | hypernewbie | 08:06 |
| hypernewbie | sigma_kubuntu: yeah | 08:06 |
| hypernewbie | sigma_kubuntu: except u can see kubuntu is like buggy here and there | 08:07 |
| hypernewbie | sigma_kubuntu: unstable release, lives up to its name | 08:07 |
| sigma_kubuntu | so is windows! | 08:07 |
| sigma_kubuntu | what release r u using? | 08:07 |
| mikes1 | I am running hardy on a new laptop | 08:07 |
| hypernewbie | sigma_kubuntu: gutsy | 08:08 |
| mikes1 | It detects all h/ware | 08:08 |
| mikes1 | but not sorted and slow | 08:08 |
| hypernewbie | sigma_kubuntu: do u know how acpi works? | 08:08 |
| hypernewbie | sigma_kubuntu: i'm in /proc/acpi tryin go vi stuff | 08:08 |
| hypernewbie | trying to* | 08:08 |
| sigma_kubuntu | nope havent a clue | 08:08 |
| XceII | Remember: Peeople, Windows is closed sourse, Linus (is-not). | 08:08 |
| neville__ | Windows is good when it's running inside a virtual machine, Wine can handle my games just fine, life is good | 08:09 |
| hypernewbie | erm | 08:10 |
| sky_ | SatManUK are you back yet? | 08:10 |
| hypernewbie | is it a good idea to touch /proc/acpi stuff | 08:10 |
| NickPresta | Ayabara, before I give up on solutions, what happens when you run gnomad2 or mtp-detect as root? | 08:10 |
| hypernewbie | well, i'm gunna pray and hit the suspend button. | 08:11 |
| XceII | lol | 08:11 |
| sigma_kubuntu | prob not hypernewbie. just make sure your data is backed up | 08:12 |
| hypernewbie | yep. | 08:12 |
| hypernewbie | all backed up. | 08:12 |
| sigma_kubuntu | wel giv it a go | 08:13 |
| surgy | hi :) | 08:13 |
| sigma_kubuntu | helo surgy | 08:14 |
| XceII | Hibernating should (only) be set (once) all settings in a )total) sys has Been confirmed, Not as a push button to and for the (un) completed system...Think Smart. | 08:14 |
| Ayabara | NickPresta: the dump was from when I ran gnomad2 as root. running mtp-detect as root gives the same output from libmtp about an unknown device | 08:15 |
| surgy | anyone here good with electronics? i sure could use some help in #kubuntu-offtopic | 08:15 |
| NickPresta | Ayabara, hm. Im out of ideas. Perhaps post your problem and output in the forums. | 08:16 |
| Ayabara | NickPresta: ok. thanks for helping out | 08:17 |
| sigma_kubuntu | ayabara: should hav goten a ipod | 08:17 |

| GreatBritain | ok i rebooted but i can't get Quasar Admin to load | 08:24 |
| GreatBritain | so i can't create a database? | 08:24 |
| === GreatBritain is now known as SatManUK | ||
| sky_ | sigma_kubuntu: just FYI: the problem is gone. I simply remove my MSN account and added it again, and the entire contact list came back. | 08:26 |
| sky_ | sigma_kubuntu: thanks for the help | 08:26 |
| sky_ | SatManUK: you too. | 08:26 |
| sigma_kubuntu | thought that wud help as well! | 08:27 |
| SatManUK | sky_: your more than welcome :) | 08:27 |
| SatManUK | we all here to help each other :) | 08:27 |
| sigma_kubuntu | satmanuk: did it work? | 08:27 |
| XceII | Exactly. | 08:27 |
| SatManUK | i can't load quasar admin | 08:27 |
| sky_ | yup. hopefully i'll be able to be answering questions instead of just asking. | 08:27 |
| sky_ | gotta go now. ttul and thanks again. | 08:27 |
| SatManUK | well you can help the next person who gets stuck with kopete.. | 08:27 |
| sky_ | yup | 08:28 |
| sigma_kubuntu | satmanuk: hmmm i neva had that problem | 08:29 |
| XceII | As A suggestion only, I suggest loading 32 bit versions till you get the hang of linux 1rst, Then load 64 bit so as to save time and problematic solvations....remember, This is only a suggestion. | 08:29 |
| SatManUK | im running it now | 08:30 |
| SatManUK | via console | 08:30 |
| sigma_kubuntu | thats a very good suggestion | 08:30 |
| SatManUK | something in the command line didn't work | 08:30 |
| SatManUK | gksudo? | 08:30 |
| sigma_kubuntu | oh yes satmanuk. the shortcut on da menu uses gksu. u must change it to sudo | 08:31 |
| SatManUK | now in understand :) | 08:31 |
| === ubuntu is now known as tehm0nk | ||
| sigma_kubuntu | gksudo is gnome | 08:31 |
| SatManUK | is that for gnome users? | 08:31 |
| SatManUK | or something? | 08:31 |
| SatManUK | what uses gksudo? | 08:32 |
| tehm0nk | !raid | 08:32 |
| ubotu | Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 08:32 |
| SatManUK | ok i created a new company | 08:32 |
| sigma_kubuntu | change gksudo to sudo | 08:32 |
| NickPresta | sigma_kubuntu, if it uses gksu, the kde equivalent would be kdesu | 08:33 |
| sigma_kubuntu | wel i gota run. hope it works 4u | 08:33 |
| SatManUK | aha | 08:33 |
| sigma_kubuntu | nick: sudo worked in its place 4me | 08:33 |
| stdin | use "kdesu"/"kdesudo" not "sudo" | 08:33 |
| SatManUK | i created to company | 08:34 |
| sigma_kubuntu | stdin: whats the difference? | 08:34 |
| stdin | !kdesu | this | 08:34 |
| ubotu | this: In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 08:34 |
| oneeyedelf1 | if you used dkpg to install a package, how do you uninstall it? | 08:34 |
| NickPresta | oneeyedelf1, dpkg -r PACKAGE | 08:34 |
| oneeyedelf1 | thanks | 08:35 |
| stdin | oneeyedelf1: once it's installed you can remove it with apt-get or adept like any other package | 08:35 |
| oneeyedelf1 | stdin: I don't find the package in adept | 08:35 |
| oneeyedelf1 | or apt | 08:35 |
| stdin | you should do | 08:36 |
| stdin | apt just reads the dpkg database | 08:36 |
| SatManUK | when im trying to login its still saying the Quasar Server is not running? | 08:36 |
| fgeyser | i can see a app i want to install in add rem app, but it is greyed out. what does it mean ? | 08:37 |

| oneeyedelf1 | well stdin apt didnt work put dpkg did | 08:37 |
| oneeyedelf1 | I was using opera-static on an amd64 system | 08:37 |

| XceII | Guys: Take that same question to google: Its there. | 08:40 |
| SatManUK | fgeyser: are you running a fresh install | 08:41 |
| SatManUK | have you enabled the internet sources ? | 08:41 |
| SatManUK | if you installed from cd without the internet active for me anyway i had to renable them to get access to them | 08:41 |

| SatManUK | Xcell its mobile phone standard | 08:47 |

| SatManUK | failsafe being recover mode | 08:59 |
| SatManUK | yes but when you install windozze it will wipe grub | 08:59 |
| SatManUK | you will loose your linux boot | 08:59 |
| tehm0nk | is that repairable? | 09:00 |
| SatManUK | ya | 09:00 |
| tehm0nk | with easybcd? | 09:00 |
| SatManUK | from said live cd you love so much - grub install should fix it | 09:00 |
| XceII | lol | 09:00 |
| tehm0nk | love so much | 09:00 |
| tehm0nk | No. | 09:00 |

| tehm0nk | *wants to buy a real raid card* | 09:02 |
| tehm0nk | ugh | 09:02 |
| tehm0nk | they're expensive too | 09:02 |
| tehm0nk | real raid card + 3 300gb sata2 drives in raid 5 would rock. | 09:02 |
| tehm0nk | of course | 09:03 |
| tehm0nk | linux would hate me cause i just know it would. | 09:03 |
| tehm0nk | do Any of you mess with beryl or compiz? | 09:03 |
| tehm0nk | i'd Really like to know how to get all the cool effects going.... | 09:03 |
| Lynoure | no, Linux plays very nice with many real raid cards | 09:03 |
| tehm0nk | if this installs lol | 09:03 |
| tehm0nk | dude | 09:04 |
| tehm0nk | you dont know my luck with linux | 09:04 |
| XceII | Someone help him do it right, Thanks. | 09:04 |
| tehm0nk | XceII: are you volunteering? | 09:04 |
| tehm0nk | :-P | 09:04 |
| XceII | I stifle: I never had to. | 09:04 |
| Lynoure | XceII: If someone wants raid 5, and I help, it's usually paid-for gig for me. | 09:04 |
| tehm0nk | 94% and i'm wondering if it's gonna do more than that... | 09:05 |
| XceII | Well: I never paid cuz intelligent peole are nice. | 09:05 |
| tehm0nk | See there is that my luck thing again | 09:05 |
| Lynoure | So I guess that rules me out of somebodys here. | 09:05 |
| wietse | tehm0nk: just bang it on there, if something's up, there are more than enough people happy to help you sort it out, but try yourself first | 09:06 |
| tehm0nk | wietse: really? | 09:06 |
| Lynoure | XceII: even the intelligent nice people need to pay rent/morgage, unfortunately just volunteering rarely pays for those | 09:06 |
| XceII | Remember: Intelligent (linux) people got U here:, Pass it on. | 09:07 |
| wietse | yes of course, thats why we're all here | 09:07 |
| tehm0nk | ok out of the 8+ times today trying to install kubuntu... | 09:07 |
| tehm0nk | it has Never stalled where it did right now @ 94% Configuring Hardware | 09:07 |
| XceII | And Donate! | 09:07 |
| XceII | It pays. | 09:07 |
| tehm0nk | ok grub failed like normal i guess | 09:08 |
| XceII | It's the right thing 2 do. | 09:08 |
| wietse | right | 09:08 |
| wietse | so the last time you tried it stalled at 94%? | 09:08 |
| XceII | Nuff Said: Help the man out. | 09:09 |
| tehm0nk | no | 09:09 |
| tehm0nk | ok | 09:09 |
| tehm0nk | it completed right now.... but it never lagged that long at 94% | 09:10 |
| tehm0nk | it was minutes | 09:10 |
| tehm0nk | cd wasn't spinning or anything | 09:10 |
| tehm0nk | anyways let me try to go by the walkthrough for raid some more | 09:10 |
| tehm0nk | if i run into hell and catch on fire | 09:10 |
| tehm0nk | i'll see if any of yall have an extinguisher... | 09:11 |
| XceII | lol..re-boot and start again.' | 09:11 |
| XceII | check bios. | 09:11 |
| tehm0nk | ? | 09:11 |
| Lynoure | There is so much tehmonk in the logs that it's really hard to see what kind of raid he is trying to set up (I can only see the hw raid 5 he dreams of)... | 09:12 |
| tehm0nk | Stripe | 09:12 |
| XceII | exactly Lynoure | 09:12 |

| fgeyser | thanks fo all the help igttg | 09:13 |
| nct | hello, can I report bugs about KDE 4 RC 2 packages to the kubuntu bug tracker ? | 09:13 |
| tehm0nk | off the install topic but just wondering, konquerer seems to have connection issues that i've never gotten in windows... | 09:13 |
| stdin | nct: what's the problem? | 09:13 |
| XceII | email...Iamtiredofkdebugs@welisten.isp | 09:13 |
| tehm0nk | and when i put firefox on here didn't have them either | 09:14 |
| nct | here, RC2 packages slightly broke KDE3: when I type ALT+F2, then an internet address, konqueror opens with no address and i got a dialog asking which application I want to use to open text/html-kde4 | 09:14 |
| nct | while being in KDE3 | 09:14 |
| nct | it looks like the mime types are a bit mixed-up | 09:15 |
| nct | I've followed the instructions on kubuntu.org | 09:15 |
| tehm0nk | the walkthrough on raid i'm using doesn't note it, so i'm asking, but since i made a partition for /boot will i have to install grub any differantly? | 09:17 |
| stdin | nct: you can report the bug against kdebase-kde4 and we'll have a look | 09:17 |
| nct | ok, thank you | 09:17 |
| sigma_ | hey all - i got both my tv outs working finally!! one on my ati radeon mobility 9000 with a dell d600 laptop and the other on my nvidia card, let me know if anyone wants to know how | 09:19 |
| tehm0nk | what i mean is will the command : "cp /usr/lib/grub/i386-pc/* /boot/grub" copy them to the right directory (this maybe be a really stupid question) | 09:19 |
| tehm0nk | oh my ..... | 09:21 |
| tehm0nk | !paste | 09:21 |
| sigma_ | that means only two things left on my to-do list, activesync and sharing the internet connection (not so important) | 09:21 |
| tehm0nk | argh | 09:21 |
| tehm0nk | what is that? | 09:21 |

| * jpatrick no experience with raid | 09:27 | |
| lingard | how do i add a user with remote access? | 09:29 |
| stdin | nct: ok I've found what caused that and the good news is I've already uploaded the fix, the bad news is that it'll be a while before it'll be available on i386 as the PPA build system has been locked up by language pack builds | 09:30 |
| stdin | nct: should be a couple hours at a guess | 09:30 |
| === TimS is now known as Timmy | ||
| nct | stdin: ok, that's not a big problem, I just have to patch my brain to add konqueror before addresses in alt+f2, anyway thank you for the efficient reactivity :-) | 09:33 |

| tehm0nk | :-D | 09:34 |

| hypernewbie | then went to settings manager aand the settings did nothing | 09:41 |
| hypernewbie | then typed compiz in console and got nothing | 09:42 |

| bsander | blekos: yes | 09:59 |
| misslissa | how do you make sure its enabled | 10:00 |
| blekos | is this a threat to my system? | 10:00 |
| misslissa | or does it enable its self | 10:00 |
| oobe | about:plugins | 10:00 |
| blekos | cant I just choose when to be started? That is to be disabled by default and if need to start it manually | 10:00 |
| blekos | ?? | 10:01 |
| misslissa | are you using firefox with it | 10:01 |
| bsander | blekos: it shouldn't be a threat, but yes you can disable it from starting up automatically | 10:01 |

| lingard | its vmware | 10:05 |
| blekos | ok, i founded under System Services. So if i disabled from here, when I needed i can just change status to run or should i restart? | 10:05 |
| jpatrick | ah | 10:05 |
| lingard | i can't find it in synaptic | 10:05 |
| lingard | so i downloaded the file | 10:06 |

| jpatrick | Ayabara: compile with: ./configure --prefix=/use | 10:10 |
| jpatrick | Ayabara: compile with: ./configure --prefix=/usr* | 10:10 |
| jpatrick | but without the '*' | 10:10 |
| Ayabara | jpatrick: you're a lifesaver. thanks ;-) | 10:12 |
| jpatrick | Ayabara: just always remember --prefix=/usr ;) | 10:12 |
| Ayabara | jpatrick: I can at least promise to try to remember | 10:13 |
| ubuntu | ciao a tutti | 10:15 |
| Ayabara | if I have compiled a new version of libmtp, will apps like amarok and gnomad use that version, or do I have to recompile those as well? | 10:15 |
| ubuntu | qualcuno parla italiano? | 10:16 |

| XceII | Ubuntu: Why do you always do that? | 10:16 |
| Ayabara | cause now mtp-detect seems to detect my zen, but the apps I have will not connect to it. | 10:17 |
| lingard | jpatrick: have you ever used that easyvmx? | 10:17 |
| jpatrick | Ayabara: yeah, I think they will have to, we have all kinds of transitions with package rebuilds | 10:18 |

| tehm0nk-otherpc | ok now i know i broke it... | 10:18 |
| lingard | it says double click ... when its been extracted to run the vm | 10:18 |
| lingard | though when i do it opens in kate | 10:18 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | i tried to reboot and it hangs on or after "Running Local Boot Scripts (/etc/rc.local)" | 10:19 |
| lingard | whats going wrong? | 10:19 |
| hypernewbie | wohoho trippy | 10:19 |
| hypernewbie | i just installed xgl and it took over 100% cpu and my comp was crawling | 10:19 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | i say after cause it says [OK] | 10:19 |
| Ayabara | jpatrick: now that I have built libmtp 0.2.4 on my system, will amarok and gnomad2 use that version if I compile them as well? do they refer only to the binaries on my system? | 10:20 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | i installed the nvidia drivers and the nvidia-xconfig, and compiz stuf | 10:20 |
| hypernewbie | i have an ati | 10:20 |
| jpatrick | Ayabara: rebuild them I meant | 10:20 |
| XceII | tehm0nk-otherpc: I want to say: sudo touch /forcefsck but that may be put things back to the begining. | 10:20 |

| hypernewbie | jpatrick: not now, i apt-get removed it | 10:22 |
| hypernewbie | jpatrick: xgl too | 10:22 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | XceII can i do that in recovery mode? | 10:22 |
| jpatrick | hypernewbie: did you do 'compiz --replace' | 10:22 |
| hypernewbie | jpatrick: yeah, i wasnt compiz that was the prob, it was xgl | 10:22 |
| XceII | Not sure..I wouldnt suggest that.. If it were me I would do that and start over. | 10:22 |
| hypernewbie | jpatrick: compiz --replace ran fine, at a very low framerate | 10:22 |
| blekos | for a windows pc to see me usb hd attached to my linux pc do I need samba or nfs? | 10:23 |

| blekos | or nothing? | 10:23 |
| jpatrick | hypernewbie: xgl ate my memory when I didn't have compiz running | 10:23 |

| hypernewbie | u dont even need recov mode | 10:23 |
| hypernewbie | ctrl+alt f2 | 10:23 |
| level1 | its like the volume down button is being pressed over and over again causing everything to jam up. all myi modifier keys get canceled, so i can't shift | 10:24 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | i can't boot into normal mode as i said | 10:24 |
| hypernewbie | oh | 10:24 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | :-P | 10:24 |
| hypernewbie | :P | 10:24 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | so how do i do it in recoverymode? | 10:24 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | i think something i did with one of those | 10:24 |
| hypernewbie | apt-get remove stuff | 10:24 |
| hypernewbie | or if u changed and config files, revert them | 10:25 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | can i apt-get list or something to see installed apps? | 10:25 |
| hypernewbie | yeah | 10:25 |
| hypernewbie | dpkg -l | 10:25 |
| hypernewbie | thats a l for lambda | 10:25 |
| XceII | tehm0nk-otherpc: try sudo touch /forcefsck thats as far as I can go..it cleans incomplete files and puts sys into safe mode..it all depends on how far you failed things up.. | 10:25 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: listen to Xcell, prolly knows more than me | 10:26 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | i tried that in recovery | 10:26 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | just reboot after that? | 10:26 |
| XceII | when x fails..when boot is complete | 10:26 |
| XceII | ctrl+alt=backspace................after re-boot | 10:27 |
| risto | how to add Kate auto-completiton ? | 10:27 |
| risto | php | 10:28 |
| XceII | let the sys do its thing..dont exasperate it..let it do its thing 1rst | 10:28 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | ok it checked the file systems | 10:29 |
| XceII | what happened | 10:29 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | and hung up like before | 10:29 |
| XceII | did U re boot that fast? | 10:29 |
| jpatrick | risto: kate -> settings -> plugins and it's there | 10:29 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | "Running Local Boot Scripts (/etc/rc.local)" | 10:29 |

| paolo | ahahah | 10:32 |
| neville | You need AMD64 version of Kubuntu | 10:32 |
| paolo | ok so i need to download an 64 bit distro | 10:32 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: hey, is this the thing: u instaled compiz and stuff, did the nvidia stuff | 10:32 |
| paolo | thank you | 10:33 |
| XceII | People: All the tools work differently, Per Application: It is up to the applicator to differentiate those tools with (shared) experience that allows group experience...Work together | 10:33 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: now it doesnt work, it hangs on boot | 10:33 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: right? | 10:33 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | yeah | 10:33 |
| paolo | C ya BYE !! thank u so much | 10:33 |
| XceII | k | 10:33 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: do u use grub? | 10:33 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: and does recover mode run? | 10:33 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | it runs the local boot scripts and then stops | 10:33 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | yes it runs | 10:33 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: grub? | 10:34 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | that is where i typed the deal XceII told me to do | 10:34 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | yes to grub | 10:34 |
| XceII | I never told u grub. | 10:34 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst | 10:34 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: then down the bottom, carefully find the menu item | 10:35 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc u should see some load of junk followed by quite splash | 10:35 |
| hypernewbie | quiet splash* | 10:35 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: remove quiet and splash, save, reboot | 10:35 |
| prxq | Hi. If I install the kernel sources and compile them, I obtain a kernel with the version 2.6.22.9, whereas the installed one is 2.6.22-14. How can I make sure the right sources are installed? (and - why aren't they installed by default)? | 10:35 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: now it'll give u lots and lots of output while booting so u can see whats wrong | 10:36 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | ok rebooting to see what it does | 10:37 |
| hypernewbie | and pray u havent mucked up editing :P | 10:37 |

| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: i have no ide ahow nvidia-config works | 10:40 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: nvidia-xconfig* | 10:40 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | when i list the installed things... is there a way to see page by page? | 10:41 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: but u can try sudo apt-get remove compiz compiz-settings-manager | 10:41 |

| === and is now known as and_ | ||
| hackstacy | hey why does it say ones ip address when they sign in how secure is that? | 11:02 |
| === and_ is now known as and__ | ||
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: did u do the /etc/apt/sources.list thing? | 11:02 |
| hackstacy | and@78-57-17-187.ip.zebra.lt | 11:02 |
| hackstacy | ???? | 11:02 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: cause u dont need to do it if ur on gutsy | 11:02 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | probably? | 11:03 |
| === and__ is now known as and | ||
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: and if u did u prolly got some outdated packages | 11:03 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | i dont know | 11:03 |
| hypernewbie | tehm0nk-otherpc: and outdated packages = evil | 11:03 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | what do you mean by that | 11:03 |
| gh | curious, I recently installed the restricted nvidia drivers, however, my chip is in the legacy driver not the latest that kubuntu installed. so all i have is a white screen when kdm launches. any ideas on method to at least get it back to using the nv driver? | 11:03 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | do did i do that when? | 11:03 |
| hypernewbie | well in the thing, it tells u to do | 11:03 |
| hypernewbie | deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/amaranth/ubuntu feisty main universe | 11:03 |
| hypernewbie | deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/amaranth/ubuntu feisty main universe | 11:03 |
| hypernewbie | thats for feisty, which is old | 11:03 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | Nooo i didnt do that | 11:03 |
| hypernewbie | relatively | 11:03 |
| hypernewbie | oh ok | 11:04 |
| hackstacy | people are being ignored here i belive lol | 11:04 |
| hypernewbie | then i derno what went wrong | 11:04 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | but i did run the command for ubuntu? | 11:04 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | then i ran the one for kubuntu | 11:04 |
| bsander | gh: you can edit /etx/X11/xorg.conf and replace every instance of "nvidia" with "nv" | 11:04 |
| bsander | or alternatively run sudo spkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg | 11:04 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | well i'll be almost done installing in a minute :-x | 11:04 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | brb on the other box... | 11:04 |
| bsander | which will take you through a wizard and sets up a new xorg.conf for you | 11:04 |
| hypernewbie | hahaha | 11:04 |
| hypernewbie | all that time spent, and a reinstall is just 5 mins away! | 11:05 |
| bsander | 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' i mean | 11:05 |
| === and is now known as transistor09 | ||
| bazhang | hackstacy plenty secure | 11:05 |
| === arnaud__ is now known as MickeyMouse | ||
| gh | bsander, thank you very much. any history with installing the legacy driver? | 11:06 |
| bsander | nope sorry, i have a recent one :) | 11:07 |
| gh | hehe =[ | 11:10 |
| Migs-se | hello | 11:10 |
| hypernewbie | heh, i should submit a bug for knetworkmanager | 11:10 |
| Migs-se | does anyone have any experience with LinuxMCE? | 11:11 |
| hypernewbie | when u click manual configuration, you're in manual configuration for good until u clean the config file | 11:11 |
| jussi01 | Migs-se: is that a distro? or a program? | 11:11 |
| bsander | Migs-se: yes, and it wasn't pretty :( | 11:11 |
| bsander | that stuff is evil | 11:11 |
| Migs-se | I think it's a add on distro? | 11:11 |
| bsander | i installed it and it went changing my hostname and network connections and stuff like that | 11:12 |
| Migs-se | installed Kubuntu 7.04 then installed the 2 cd installation ontop of Kubuntu | 11:12 |
| jussi01 | Migs-se: if you are looking for a media centre pc I reccomend looking at mythbuntu | 11:12 |
| bsander | really nasty stuff, i actually got so sick of working around the stuff it created that I decided to do a reinstall instead of an upgrade when Gutsy came out.. | 11:12 |
| Migs-se | I see | 11:13 |
| Migs-se | well, I have a odd problem, since I was trying to get the correct Ati drivers for the TV-out to work | 11:13 |
| Migs-se | at the moment it is looping the following... | 11:13 |
| Migs-se | Starting up... | 11:13 |
| Migs-se | Loading, please wait... | 11:13 |
| Migs-se | mdadm: no devices listed in conf file were found. | 11:13 |
| Migs-se | kinit: name_to_dev_t(/dev/disk/by-uuid/694214d0-f2bc-42d0-86d8-6ef6a354193c) - hdc5(22,5) | 11:13 |
| Migs-se | kinit: trying to resume from /dev/disk/by-uuid/694214d0-f2bc-42d0-86d8-6ef6a354193c | 11:14 |
| Migs-se | kinit: No resume image, doing normal boot... | 11:14 |
| Migs-se | Ubuntu 7.04 dcerouter tty1 | 11:14 |
| Migs-se | dcerouter login: | 11:14 |
| Migs-se | the screen then changes to... | 11:14 |
| Migs-se | Sun, 16 Dec 2007 13:00:25 +0200 RECV: | 11:14 |
| Migs-se | Sun, 16 Dec 2007 13:00:25 +0200 Helper Script End | 11:14 |
| Migs-se | and it loops from there | 11:14 |
| Migs-se | usually, LinuxMCE fills in the details to contonue, but it's not doing that now | 11:15 |
| jussi01 | !paste | Migs-se | 11:15 |
| ubotu | Migs-se: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 11:15 |
| Migs-se | what I did was follow this guide to install the Ati driver: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Configuring | 11:15 |
| Migs-se | which resulted in the problem I have now | 11:15 |
| jussi01 | Migs-se: please remember to use the pastebin! | 11:15 |
| bazhang | Migs-se: you want might to look at geexbox | 11:16 |
| Migs-se | I've tryed, can't get the remote working | 11:16 |
| Migs-se | but TV-Out works great | 11:16 |
| SatManUK | guys how do i make a folder accessable to apache | 11:17 |
| SatManUK | so like i can do /phpmyadmin and /phpsql-ledger | 11:17 |

| jpatrick | ahnkle: | 11:41 |
| jpatrick | no | 11:41 |
| jpatrick | !upgrade | 11:41 |
| ubotu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 11:41 |
| vzduch | ahnkle: if you care about a long-life-capable system you should wait another half year for Hardy anyway | 11:42 |
| ahnkle | so i need to fully update in steps to the next release? | 11:43 |
| bazhang | yup | 11:44 |
| ahnkle | ok - thanks peeps | 11:44 |
| jpatrick | ahnkle: there is a dapper -> hardy thing planned, but I don't know much about it | 11:45 |
| SatManUK | ok im making progress i moved the program to /var/www and it works | 11:45 |

| SatManUK | i have installed curl | 11:54 |

| Paddy_EIRE | hey guys, do you know if the suse kde menu is in the ubuntu repos | 12:02 |
| jpatrick | Paddy_EIRE: you mean kickoff? | 12:02 |
| Paddy_EIRE | yeah thats it :) | 12:02 |
| jpatrick | no | 12:02 |
| jpatrick | it's a massive patch against kdelibs | 12:03 |
| Paddy_EIRE | oh.. I must search about for it | 12:03 |
| Paddy_EIRE | oh | 12:03 |
| SatManUK | jpatrick: do you know anything about installing gd or curl into php? | 12:03 |
| jpatrick | SatManUK: no | 12:03 |
| SatManUK | ok | 12:03 |
| SatManUK | thanks anyway | 12:03 |

| Paddy_EIRE | jpatrick, do you know which screen recording software he is running from the terminal http://news.softpedia.com/news/Install-Kickoff-KDE-Menu-in-Kubuntu-Ubuntu-46601.shtml | 12:07 |
| Paddy_EIRE | looks handy | 12:07 |
| jpatrick | Paddy_EIRE: no, but i'll look into that deb | 12:08 |
| jpatrick | Paddy_EIRE: implemented in KDE4 directly at least :) | 12:08 |
| Paddy_EIRE | nice one | 12:08 |
| SatManUK | you know jpatrick i installed curl not php5-curl so thats prob why im still getting issues.. | 12:08 |
| Paddy_EIRE | so will kde4 make hardy after all? | 12:09 |
| jpatrick | SatManUK: installed php4-gd? | 12:09 |
| jpatrick | Paddy_EIRE: no, hardy is a Long Term Support and KDE4 is too unstable | 12:09 |
| Paddy_EIRE | oh I see | 12:09 |
| SatManUK | i installed just "curl" not phpx-curl | 12:09 |
| SatManUK | i installed php5-curl and its ok now | 12:09 |
| SatManUK | same for php5-gd | 12:10 |
| jpatrick | SatManUK: ok, great :) | 12:10 |
| jpatrick | Paddy_EIRE: however we should have KDE4.1 for Hardy+1 | 12:10 |
| Paddy_EIRE | excellent | 12:10 |
| jpatrick | Paddy_EIRE: installing that package will override your kicker | 12:11 |
| SatManUK | now i just need zend Optimizer | 12:11 |
| SatManUK | which it provides a link for | 12:11 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I installed that kubuntu kickoff deb yet I'm wondering how to add it to the panel | 12:11 |
| Paddy_EIRE | restart kde so that it shows up perhaps?? | 12:11 |
| Paddy_EIRE | then add it | 12:12 |
| jpatrick | right kick kicker -> add applet | 12:12 |
| Paddy_EIRE | yeah it aint there | 12:12 |
| Paddy_EIRE | brb | 12:12 |
| jpatrick | wait | 12:12 |
| Paddy_EIRE | ok | 12:12 |
| jpatrick | killall kicker && kicker | 12:12 |
| Paddy_EIRE | nice one | 12:12 |
| ardchoille | dcop kicker default restart | 12:16 |
| SatManUK | dont you just hate when you downloading the last file and the creator requires all your personal information. I haven't a clue who Zend are but i need to register my details with then to download Zend Optimizer | 12:19 |

| imbecile | ahh so its not released yet? | 12:24 |
| Paddy_EIRE | works well jpatrick.. you can right click kickoff and change it back to the classic kde menu also | 12:25 |
| jpatrick | imbecile: schuduled for January | 12:25 |
| imbecile | cool deal | 12:25 |
| Paddy_EIRE | jpatrick, it also uses the kubuntu logo for the button... If I try to make the panel smaller the image does not re-size with it. | 12:26 |
| jpatrick | Paddy_EIRE: no idea about that, sorry | 12:26 |
| Paddy_EIRE | no probs | 12:27 |
| Paddy_EIRE | I think I will keep it the normal size and just set it to auto hide or something... my laptop res is 1280x800 so the normal kde panel is quite space consuming | 12:27 |
| etfb | Does anyone know how to make knetworkmanager connect automatically to a known wifi access point? | 12:30 |
| etfb | It works in Feisty but not in Gutsy on the same hardware. | 12:30 |
| Paddy_EIRE | etfb, have it save your key and pass on kde wallet | 12:30 |
| etfb | Already does that. | 12:30 |
| Paddy_EIRE | then all you do is type the kde wallet pass | 12:31 |
| etfb | Yep, but it doesn't connect. Usually have to select the SSID two or three times before it will connect. | 12:31 |

| etfb | imbecile: what are your OSes? Which is on which partition? | 12:33 |
| imbecile | basically im trying to install kubuntu over ubuntu with a fresh install and not mess up my windows partition because its for work | 12:33 |
| etfb | imbecile: (cute nickname BTW. Makes me feel like I can go straight to insulting you, which saves a lot of time on IRC) | 12:33 |
| Paddy_EIRE | imbecile, yeah you will have issues with grub as it will not be there | 12:33 |
| Paddy_EIRE | imbecile, 1 sec | 12:33 |
| etfb | imbecile: there's a file that Grub uses, something like boot.menu or somesuch. Let me find it... | 12:34 |
| imbecile | im thinking it may work even though i wont be able to get into windows without kubuntu reinstalled | 12:34 |
| Paddy_EIRE | imbecile, pick the guide thats appropriate for you http://apcmag.com/node/5162/ | 12:34 |

| xeo | well the first time I just let the plugin manager do it | 12:45 |
| xeo | that didn't work | 12:45 |

| etfb | Cugel: spoken like a true Linux believer | 12:52 |
| xeo | just gave gnash a try; makes an attempt to load medai but doesn't play it | 12:53 |
| etfb | Cugel: is it true that the installer only gives you the option to install compiz if your CPU is powerful enough? I ask because I have 1.5GHz Toshiba and I never got asked... | 12:53 |
| Paddy_EIRE | xeo, which site | 12:53 |
| Paddy_EIRE | xeo, works with youtube just fine | 12:54 |
| Cugel | Just install it manually. 256 mb should be enough, really. | 12:54 |

| etfb | Paddy_EIRE: how so? Just in the general "web is for HTML" philosophical sense, or is it the specific implementation you hate? | 12:56 |
| Paddy_EIRE | etfb, yeah I just find it completely unnecessary | 12:57 |

| ardchoille | !ask | 13:00 |
| ubotu | Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 13:00 |
| etfb | kreib: I think it's just that the packages aren't subject to the full Ubuntu quality control, but they're not full of ebola virus or anything | 13:00 |
| arditxo | :) | 13:00 |
| etfb | !patience > me | 13:01 |
| etfb | Odd... I expected that command to work, and it didn't... where's that doco again... | 13:01 |
| ardchoille | etfb: The factoids? | 13:02 |
| arditxo | i'm trying to restore the default desktop in kubuntu, i mean i want to remove compiz but i can't | 13:02 |
| kreib | ok, if ti breaks, I rely on you guys to fix it | 13:02 |
| etfb | Ah, I just got the factoid name wrong, ardchoille . NEver mind. | 13:02 |
| arditxo | i've been looking for info but there's nothing really worthy over there | 13:03 |
| etfb | arditxo: What happens when you try? | 13:03 |
| arditxo | it just keeps running the compiz effects | 13:03 |
| Dragnslcr | arditxo- "kwin --replace" will switch back to the normal kwin window manager | 13:04 |
| arditxo | i mean the nice window effects, transparencies and all the compiz stuff | 13:04 |
| etfb | arditxo: You may need to restart X (ie either log out and in, or else Ctrl+Alt+Backspace) | 13:04 |
| arditxo | yeah, i actually did that, but it doesn't really work fine | 13:04 |
| Dragnslcr | arditxo- and you can uninstall the compiz packages through Adept | 13:04 |
| arditxo | it hooks | 13:04 |
| Cugel | let me guess, you lost window borders. | 13:04 |
| etfb | arditxo: prefix your replies with the nick of the person you're talking to; it makes it easier to follow your train of thought. | 13:05 |
| etfb | arditxo: you can probably use tab completion to make that easier | 13:05 |
| arditxo | well i did it through sudo apt-get autoremove compiz* | 13:05 |
| Cugel | try purge instead of autoremove | 13:05 |
| arditxo | yeh right cugel | 13:05 |
| arditxo | hehehe | 13:05 |
| Dragnslcr | arditxo- and what packages did it say it was uninstalling? | 13:05 |
| arditxo | i tried that too | 13:05 |
| arditxo | mm | 13:06 |
| etfb | arditxo, Cugel: I think the syntax is sudo apt-get --purge remove [package], isn't it? Or is there a purge verb? | 13:06 |
| icecruncher | hi all | 13:06 |
| arditxo | compiz core, compiz gnome, ... i think they all have been apparently uninstalled. | 13:06 |
| Dragnslcr | arditxo- I would just use Adept. Search for "compiz" and remove any installed packages that it lists | 13:07 |
| arditxo | i did the purge stuff with aptitude purge ... something like that | 13:07 |
| girolamo | !italiano | 13:08 |
| ubotu | Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 13:08 |
| arditxo | ok i'll try with adept | 13:08 |
| iba_padamu | i installed kubuntu, but i didn't install grub. how can i boot it from vista? | 13:08 |
| etfb | !grub | iba_padamu | 13:09 |
| ubotu | iba_padamu: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto | 13:09 |
| arditxo | all right, i run adept and as it says, there aren't any compiz packets installed | 13:09 |
| arditxo | (and there's a list with all compiz related packets) | 13:10 |
| etfb | arditxo: if you're still seeing compiz effects, it must be because (a) you haven't restarted X yet, or (b) you've somehow installed it outside the package management system, ie with configure/make | 13:10 |
| arditxo | aha | 13:11 |
| etfb | arditxo: (That's my guess, anyhow. Aha?) | 13:11 |
| arditxo | well I think it must be the (b) I mean | 13:11 |
| etfb | arditxo: Do you remember explicitly doing that? I mean, unless you suffer frequent blackouts, it's not the sort of ordeal you'd forget... | 13:12 |
| arditxo | and so how could I restart the X, should I restart the session maybe | 13:12 |
| icecruncher | i get a black screen after login into my e17 session... any suggestions? | 13:12 |
| arditxo | mmm I think I did something like that, something with configure... | 13:12 |
| etfb | arditxo: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace restarts X. Be careful to close documents first! | 13:12 |
| Dragnslcr | arditxo- logout, and at the login screen, there's an option to restart the X server | 13:12 |
| etfb | icecruncher: What's e17? | 13:13 |
| arditxo | ok, I'll do that | 13:13 |
| arditxo | thx | 13:13 |
| icecruncher | enlightment | 13:13 |
| arditxo | anyway I think I'll be back soon :) | 13:13 |
| etfb | icecruncher: what happens if you press Enter? Do you get a login prompt in text mode? | 13:15 |
| icecruncher | nope | 13:15 |
| etfb | "You are now crossing the state line between 'etfb knowing stuff' and 'etfb being completely ignorant'. Have a nice day!" | 13:16 |
| etfb | Which is to say: sorry, icecruncher , can't help you there. I've never used E17. | 13:16 |
| icecruncher | that's ok, thanks anyway | 13:17 |
| arditxo | ok guys, now it works! | 13:18 |

| arditxo | it just doesn't run | 13:23 |
| arditxo | the typical bouncing icon appears but after a while it goes off | 13:23 |
| etfb | arditxo: Any time I see that (entirely too often!) I check the X error log, thus: tail -f .xsession-errors | 13:24 |
| etfb | arditxo: Sometimes it's useless, but occasionally it tells you what's wrong | 13:24 |
| arditxo | ok i'll try that | 13:25 |

| Dragnslcr | It's a package | 14:28 |

| pastryness | for? | 14:29 |
| methice | Hi, i ve got a little pb, i've got kubuntu and compiz running and only 2 desktop avaible ... | 14:29 |
| gabriel_ | is there any way to get thumb mouse button to work as the back button in Dolphin file manager?? | 14:29 |
| Dragnslcr | pastryness- additional applets that you can add to the kicker panel. One of them is a CPU/memory graph applet | 14:29 |
| gabriel_ | I searched google and saw some posts on it ubuntu forums, but no solution! | 14:29 |
| Dragnslcr | gabriel_- I think I use imwheel for that. Not sure if there's an easier way | 14:30 |
| pastryness | Dragnslcr: thanks alot, i'll try it out | 14:30 |
| gabriel_ | pastryness: have u tried superkaramba? | 14:31 |
| methice | no one know ? | 14:31 |

| Newbie_Kubuntu | Just an easy question for all: in the command line, I need a shell script to change from present directory to another , I've tried "cd /name_of_folder" but when after executing the script it happens... nothing :-( | 14:36 |
| gabriel_ | maybe u can try writing an alias | 14:37 |
| Newbie_Kubuntu | Thanks, Gabriel, though I needed the script to work like a ".lnk" file in Windows: i execute it and it changed the present directory | 14:38 |
| pastryness | it tells me kicker is already running :/ | 14:38 |
| Kingzar | Help my external harddisk was working fine for 2 days | 14:39 |
| gabriel_ | Newbie_Kubuntu: but can't u execute the alias? | 14:39 |
| Newbie_Kubuntu | (and so (unlike an alias) in certain folder, I can delete the script, copy to another place, and so on...) | 14:39 |
| Kingzar | but today after a fresh boot, it doesn´t work anymore | 14:39 |
| vredchenko | quit | 14:39 |
| Kingzar | i got an error, No such mount! | 14:40 |
| gabriel_ | so what about a bash script that does the same? and u call it with ./myscript? | 14:40 |
| gabriel_ | then u can move the script around | 14:40 |
| === _czessi is now known as Czessi | ||
| Newbie_Kubuntu | Yes, yes, Gabriel, I've tried, but after executing the script... it does not change my folder | 14:42 |
| pastryness | Dragnslcr: help me out with this 'kicker' pls? i dunno what it is :/ but when i run it in teminal it says its already running :/ | 14:42 |
| Newbie_Kubuntu | (if I tell the script "echo hello" it works, but it seems that it changes the folder to itself, not to my session) | 14:42 |
| gabriel_ | yeah... | 14:42 |
| gabriel_ | well wish i could help u :) | 14:43 |
| gabriel_ | maybe go to a bash channel or something | 14:43 |

| galorin | I'd like to get some music onto an SD card for my car stereo. What's a good app to use for this? | 15:10 |
| jhutchins | abcd: The thing about the iPods is that their indexing system is cryptic, they don't work off of human readable song titles. Since the shuffle doesn't have any menu features, it works fine as a memory stick. | 15:10 |
| abcd | jhutchins: ipod has not a radio, i'm looking for player with a radio | 15:10 |
| jhutchins | galorin: konqueror | 15:11 |
| jhutchins | galorin: amarok | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | galorin , just copy and paste the files to the SD card , I was able to add some photos to my SD card when my 1G usb drive was full, so I could load them on to my son's pc ...was surprised but it worked fine | 15:13 |
| galorin | I have a lot of files in ogg on my system, but my car can only do mp3 or wma | 15:14 |
| galorin | Was told they sound better, so when I ripped my cd's I did ogg. I think they do sound better | 15:14 |
| BluesKaj | galorin, use soundkonverter to convert the files to mp3 | 15:15 |
| BluesKaj | dunno why ppl use mp3 now , when HDDs are so large ,to preserve sound quality whynot just save them as wav or flac files | 15:16 |
| galorin | When you've got a not so large HDD,it has to be done. | 15:17 |
| BluesKaj | yup | 15:17 |
| romunov | because some of us don't hear the difference, especially on crappy speakers/headphones | 15:17 |
| BluesKaj | hehe , no kidding | 15:17 |
| Kohlrabi | But when you switch to a stereo sytem you hear it | 15:17 |
| Kohlrabi | +s | 15:18 |
| romunov | not at volumes that i listen to :) | 15:18 |
| Kohlrabi | BluesKaj> dunno why ppl use mp3 now | mp3 makes no sense, aye. Either use AAC or vorbis, depends on how "free" you want to be :) | 15:18 |
| Kohlrabi | romunov: :) | 15:19 |
| bazhang | with flac there is a difference though imo | 15:19 |
| Kohlrabi | bazhang: difference to what? | 15:19 |
| bazhang | Kohlrabi: difference discernible to the human ear :} | 15:19 |
| Kohlrabi | depends | 15:20 |
| Kohlrabi | MP3 is transparent for most people at certain bitrates | 15:20 |
| Kohlrabi | but that depends on many factors | 15:20 |
| _nix_ | Hello everybody, I clicked "Hide Menubar" in ktorrent>options. anyone know how can bring the menubar back? | 15:20 |
| bazhang | true | 15:20 |
| Kohlrabi | like exhaustion, and if you are likely to notice MP3-artifacts | 15:20 |
| Kohlrabi | but most newer lossy codecs get transparent at much lower bitrates | 15:20 |
| Kohlrabi | and MP3 has mayn intrinsic flaws | 15:21 |
| _nix_ | Kohlrabi: like HE-AAC v2 at 48kbit | 15:21 |
| Kohlrabi | it's really so 1990 to use it :) | 15:21 |
| BluesKaj | Kohlrabi, I just wav or flac ...guess I'm old school , the less data loss the better it sounds ...most of my music is on redbook audio on cd. Also I use the spdif output to my sound system in the TV room | 15:22 |
| Kohlrabi | BluesKaj: I myself ripped all my CDs to wavpack lossless | 15:22 |
| bazhang | all my dead shows are on flac :} | 15:23 |
| BluesKaj | never wear HPs ...I don't don't even own a mp3 player :) | 15:23 |
| Kohlrabi | wavpack is a tad smaller than flac, so it saves me maybe 1.5GB as a whole | 15:23 |
| Kohlrabi | but we're going off-topic ;) | 15:23 |

| eshat | is there a easy way to install kde 4.0 into kubuntu 7.10 ??? | 17:28 |
| bazhang | !kde4 | 17:29 |
| 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 | 17:29 |
| BluesKaj | eshat, if there was an easy way a lot more ppl would install it | 17:29 |
| BluesKaj | I followed the KDE4 instructions to the letter , but it failed twice ..so I just dumped and haven't bothered with it since | 17:31 |
| bsander | BluesKaj: what's the problem then? | 17:33 |
| jussi01 | BluesKaj: thats weird - the install went fine here | 17:33 |
| sigma_kubuntu | bsander: my tv out eventually worked! | 17:34 |
| bsander | good for you :) | 17:35 |
| BluesKaj | bsander, I think it's my hardware ..not real sure but on board ati graphics seems be a prob for KDE4 | 17:35 |
| bsander | i was still asleep when you talked to me this morning, sigma_kubuntu ;) | 17:35 |
| bsander | BluesKaj: so the install went fine, but the session doesn't? | 17:35 |
| emilsedgh | BluesKaj: really? i never heard of that... | 17:35 |
| sigma_kubuntu | lol oh ok | 17:36 |
| bsander | you can disable desktop effects, doesn't that fix it? | 17:36 |
| emilsedgh | BluesKaj: maybe thats because compositing | 17:36 |
| bsander | sigma_kubuntu: did you fix the mouse issue yet? | 17:36 |
| sigma_kubuntu | bsander: what mouse issue? | 17:37 |
| bsander | sigma_kubuntu: you said you couldn't get your mouse to work on the tvout screen | 17:38 |
| BluesKaj | whatever the prob is emilsedgh, bsander , i'm not gonna bother with kde4 til it's officially released , even then I'll wait to see how it works out for others with my kind of set up ...kubuntu 64bit on ATI X200G graphics | 17:38 |
| emilsedgh | BluesKaj: well, i thought you want to get your hands on it and you dont because of ati.so really, if you want to be satisfied with it, wait for 4.1 | 17:39 |
| bsander | ok :) | 17:39 |
| sigma_kubuntu | bsander: oh that. nope didnt get it to work. only the esc button works. but something strange hapend. the nvidia control panel started working. but the video lags a litle if i use it | 17:40 |
| bazhang | I'm waiting for kde4.5 | 17:40 |
| sigma_kubuntu | and my laptop tv out started working :) | 17:41 |
| Dr_willis | Im waiting for Service Pack 1 for Kubuntu. :) | 17:41 |
| sigma_kubuntu | but that was a cable converter issue | 17:42 |
| bazhang | haha Dr_willis | 17:42 |
| bsander | sigma_kubuntu: ok :) wel good you got it to work, it's nice :) | 17:42 |
| BluesKaj | well, emilsedgh and bsander , I like my google earth and tvtime and both work , altho GE is abit clunky, and I want to be sure they will still run on kde4 before taking the plunge , so to speak :) | 17:43 |
| sigma_kubuntu | they said kde would be pretty stable by 4.1 . ideally if all users tested it, it would be super stable | 17:43 |
| sigma_kubuntu | will kde3 apps run in kde4? | 17:44 |
| emilsedgh | BluesKaj: well, kde4 has nothing to do with GoogleEarth and all non-kde apps | 17:44 |
| bsander | sigma_kubuntu: yes they will | 17:45 |
| BluesKaj | emilsedgh, but it does have to do with how kde and Xorg work together and that's an issue with ati hardware | 17:45 |
| BluesKaj | emilsedgh, whenever kde is updated , my xorg file has to be reconfigged | 17:46 |
| emilsedgh | BluesKaj: i dont use it as main desktop yet, but i was unable to wait and stay with screenshots ;) | 17:46 |
| sigma_kubuntu | hav any of u guys read ubuntu full circle magazine? | 17:47 |

| ubuntu__ | has nvidia fixed its propriety driver package? | 17:47 |
| BluesKaj | can't say i've even heard of it , sigma_kubuntu | 17:48 |

| NickPresta | ubuntu__, what was wrong with it? | 17:48 |
| bazhang | were they ever broken ubuntu? | 17:49 |
| jhutchins | ubuntu__: There have been a lot of updates to the nvidia drivers, don't know what you mean by "fixed", they work fine for a lot of people. | 17:49 |
| sigma_kubuntu | fullcirclemagazine.org its all about the ubuntu family. great articles. gets beta every time. next issue out on the 21st. maybe they can do a kde4 writeup/review | 17:50 |
| ubuntu__ | abt two mnths ago it broke my x whenever i installed nvidia driver from repo and i had to reconfigure manually nv generic driver to make distro work, currently im on live cd, i have geforce 2 mx 400 nvidia 64mb card..........which driver i shud install nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-new? | 17:52 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntu_, neother one i think.. you may want the glx-legacy for that old a card | 17:54 |
| ubuntu__ | any suggestions? | 17:54 |
| Dr_willis | the !nvidia page has links to a page that tells what cards use what drivers | 17:55 |
| jhutchins | !nvidia | ubuntu__ | 17:55 |
| ubotu | ubuntu__: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 17:55 |
| Dr_willis | dosent the restricted-manager tool detect/know what drivers to use for what cards? | 17:57 |

| eshat | hi all ,... is there a kernel parameter to blacklist a module ? | 18:02 |
| BluesKaj | ubuntu__, check system settings/advanced/restricted driver/ and enable it to see if it works , you'll prolly have relogin | 18:02 |
| jhutchins | eshat: There are ways to blacklist a module, yes. | 18:02 |
| jhutchins | !blacklist | eshat | 18:03 |
| ubotu | eshat: To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add « blacklist <modulename> » to the end of that list - To explicitly load modules in a specific order, list them in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and type « sudo update-initramfs -u » | 18:03 |
| StyXman | 'nights | 18:03 |
| eshat | jhutchins: i asked for a kernelparameter at boot,... cause i want to blacklist a module on the live cd | 18:03 |
| jhutchins | eshat: No. | 18:05 |
| eshat | jhutchins: wron ,... i just found the soloution | 18:05 |
| StyXman | Riddell: hi. I just read the logs of the pykde4 tutorial. there was an unanswered question, which is: where could one ask more questions? | 18:05 |
| eshat | jhutchins: Modul-Name.blacklist=yes | 18:05 |
| eshat | jhutchins: please don't say no, if you are not sure | 18:05 |
| cheguevara | StyXman, pyqt mailing list | 18:06 |
| cheguevara | http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt | 18:06 |
| NickPresta | eshat, I, too, have seen that solution but I have also seen that it doesn't work in all cases. YMMV | 18:06 |
| eshat | NickPresta: ahh ok ,.. anyway,.. i ll try | 18:06 |
| jhutchins | If he already knows, why is he asking? | 18:08 |
| jhutchins | why doesn't he just try it? | 18:08 |
| NickPresta | jhutchins, no idea. *shrugs* | 18:08 |
| jhutchins | I see a lot of people on IRC asking about stuff that wouldn't take as long just to try. | 18:10 |
| bazhang | too true | 18:10 |
| BluesKaj | how does one edit the Run Command drop down list without clearing the whole list? | 18:10 |
| NickPresta | jhutchins, I suppose a lot of it comes from the fear that "trying" it will break things beyond repair. who knows... | 18:10 |

| MementoMori | but amsn has an ugly default gui... | 19:13 |
| proximox | maninder: there may be other options out there not in Kubuntu packagemanager | 19:14 |
| proximox | MementoMori: not true, amsn has one of the best GUIs for msn clients on linux | 19:14 |
| proximox | MementoMori: but you need to install it with anti-aliased fonts, if not you get ugly fonts | 19:14 |
| maninder | so kubuntu doesnt come with package managerÉ | 19:14 |
| MementoMori | how can I downgrade an installed package? | 19:15 |

| proximox | maninder: yes it does, but that package manager maybe doesent contain every linux application availiable in the world | 19:15 |
| poison-- | <MementoMori, use synaptic | 19:15 |
| maninder | so how do i go to packet manager is it in the start manuÉ | 19:15 |
| MementoMori | poison--: it cant be done with aptitude? | 19:15 |
| proximox | as poison-- said, its called synaptic | 19:15 |
| maninder | is it adept managerÉ | 19:15 |

| MementoMori | proximox: I'll search more info with google | 19:16 |
| proximox | synaptic is a graphical frontend to aptitude | 19:16 |
| MementoMori | proximox: thank you | 19:16 |
| proximox | MementoMori: np, glad to help if i can =) | 19:17 |
| proximox | (and im not even using kubuntu yet =P ) | 19:17 |
| maninder | alright i found it on the site | 19:17 |
| maninder | do i download it or get the pluginsÉ | 19:17 |
| proximox | poison--: doesent Kubuntu use adept by default ? | 19:17 |
| poison-- | it does, but i luv synaptic | 19:18 |
| proximox | maninder: best way to install software is through the package manager | 19:18 |
| proximox | maninder: you CAN download and install things from the web | 19:18 |
| proximox | maninder: but there's no guarantee it will work properly | 19:18 |
| maninder | okay lets say if i download the amsn how would i install it É | 19:18 |
| maninder | i dont know how to do installtion with linux | 19:18 |
| proximox | maninder: whats in the package manager is tested to work | 19:19 |
| proximox | maninder: dunno, check the site for installation instructions | 19:19 |
| maninder | ye but lets say if i want to do manul or i cant ffind it | 19:19 |
| maninder | oh okay okay | 19:19 |
| maninder | what dvd player would your recomendÉ | 19:19 |
| poison-- | MPlayer is good | 19:19 |
| jembouge | videolan | 19:20 |
| maninder | kk thanks | 19:20 |
| maninder | cause i was tyring the one that came with kubuntu starts with a k | 19:20 |
| maninder | and it doesnt opne dvds gives me a error | 19:20 |
| proximox | VLC (videolan) would be my choice | 19:20 |
| proximox | poison--: ok, what is it that you prefer about synaptic over adepte ? | 19:20 |
| maninder | vlc would play avi files as wel right | 19:20 |
| poison-- | <proximox, the way it shows me the packages i search and the way i control it, besides, i can config it to use a proxy easy, adept is a pain to use with a proxy | 19:21 |
| proximox | poison--: yeah, i like the fact that synaptic shows me version numbers, while adept does not (!!!!) | 19:22 |
| MementoMori | it seems to be quite difficult to downgrade a just upgraded package | 19:22 |
| proximox | poison--: but i think searching and finding stuff in adept is faster and easier | 19:23 |
| poison-- | <MementoMori, try a reboot and than search for the package | 19:23 |
| poison-- | ]proximox, in fact the only thing that makes me use synaptic is dat i do have to use proxy at work | 19:24 |
| poison-- | im on wind$#$## at home | 19:24 |
| bogi27 | ok just one question what is the best irc for linux ? | 19:24 |
| poison-- | i use xchat | 19:24 |
| proximox | MementoMori: and maninder: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingSoftware | 19:24 |
| proximox | there's a little info on installing stuff on (k)ubuntu using package manager etc =) | 19:25 |
| MementoMori | poison--: why should I reboot? I only need to downgrade a simple package.. if I remove it I'll get the latest version anyway | 19:25 |

| NickPresta | B4S3M, you will probably have better luck compiling the package yourself instead of talking to the maintainer. | 20:05 |
| Pollywog | NickPresta: he says he is not that "professional" | 20:05 |

| kbrooks | Schuenemann, hey | 20:19 |
| Dr_willis | kg7fu, you could alwyas mount it manually as root. Or perhaps look in system://media (i think) | 20:19 |
| kbrooks | Schuenemann, http://www.perturb.org/display/entry/687/ # does this answer your question? | 20:19 |
| kg7fu | let's try root | 20:20 |
| Dr_willis | common mount options for a vfat usb drive would be the use of umask and dmask, and perhaps the 'user' option. in a fstab entry | 20:20 |
| Schuenemann | kbrooks, I was looking for cd tracks too... and with a frontend | 20:20 |
| kbrooks | Schuenemann, uhhh, have you tried inserting the CD and looking in the CD with konqueror for directories | 20:21 |
| kg7fu | ok it needs root to mount...so I guess change fstab entry to user rw should suffice? | 20:21 |
| Schuenemann | kbrooks, I have soundkonverter... but it always crash | 20:21 |
| kbrooks | Schuenemann, if they are not there, you need to get packages that help | 20:21 |
| kbrooks | Schuenemann, the directory you're looking for is OGG | 20:22 |
| Dr_willis | kg7fu, thers dozens of optiosn. :) depends on exactly what you are doing | 20:22 |
| kg7fu | just want users to be able to auto-mount mp3 player | 20:23 |
| kg7fu | should be intuitive | 20:23 |
| Schuenemann | kbrooks, why would I have such a directory | 20:23 |
| Schuenemann | ? | 20:23 |
| kg7fu | :P | 20:23 |
| kbrooks | Schuenemann, it's fake | 20:23 |
| kbrooks | Schuenemann, and added by konqui | 20:24 |
| Dr_willis | AUTOmounting is not handles by the fstab file. They sould still manyually need to mount it. | 20:24 |
| Schuenemann | kbrooks, where is it? | 20:24 |
| kg7fu | well the media vaults auto mount | 20:24 |
| Dr_willis | In theory they should be able to plug the device in and it just pop up a dialog asking to view files. that would moun tit. | 20:24 |
| kg7fu | and they're basically the same thing | 20:25 |
| kg7fu | a usb flash device | 20:25 |
| Dr_willis | Not sure why that breaks with some devices | 20:25 |
| kbrooks | Schuenemann, in order for konqui to add that directory, you need packages that help konqueror convert the files to ogg when you copy them | 20:25 |
| === X314Z159 is now known as X314 | ||
| Schuenemann | kbrooks, konqueror is a file browser... I don't think it can convert anything | 20:26 |
| Dr_willis | there are kioslaves for konqueror that do that work . I belive. | 20:26 |
| kg7fu | rhythmbox is pretty good for after it's mounted | 20:26 |
| kbrooks | sc0tch, well, be shocked: it can | 20:26 |
| kbrooks | bbl | 20:27 |
| kg7fu | thatnks guys! (& gal) | 20:28 |
| jhutchins | Schuenemann: What konq does is have hooks to call the various conversion utils. | 20:28 |
| kg7fu | cheers! | 20:28 |
| Schuenemann | jhutchins, ahh... explained | 20:28 |
| jhutchins | Schuenemann: It's part of the virtual filesystem concept, files that don't actually exist until they're called for. | 20:28 |
| kg7fu | <kg7fu splits like panties on prom nite> <poof!> | 20:28 |
| Schuenemann | jhutchins, well, I want to convert my mp3 and cd tracks to ogg | 20:29 |

| BluesKaj | B4S3M, a lot of ppl forget to set the driver in the wizard might be hpjis or something similar | 20:58 |
| Arilou | tehm0nk: open the mixer to select the channels so you can mute the audio from tv | 20:59 |
| tehm0nk | i dont have a tv card... i was talking about dual monitoring | 21:00 |
| BluesKaj | too early set the "line" ctrl slider to about 70% and plug the audio feeed in to line in on your soundcard | 21:00 |
| B4S3M | BluesKaj: i tried hpjis ... an error occured saying restart CUPS manager | 21:01 |
| TooEarly | BluesKaj: ok it's about 70 and i still got no sound | 21:01 |
| tehm0nk | is it possible to run dolphin in admin mode or something? | 21:03 |
| BluesKaj | ok, TooEarly check in kmix , make sure the "line in" is lit up | 21:03 |

| BluesKaj | hi nosrednaekim | 21:04 |
| Arilou | diskmounter tool says it is risky to try write mode on windows (NTFS) partitions, but how risky it is for users like me who only want to read and store stuff? | 21:04 |
| BluesKaj | well, time to watch some tv with wifey ...BBL | 21:05 |
| nosrednaekim | Arilou: its actually pretty stable. | 21:05 |
| TooEarly | BluesKaj: everything is like you said but still not working | 21:05 |
| nosrednaekim | Arilou: just be smart...make periodic backups, and all should be fine (i've never heard a complaint) | 21:05 |
| Arilou | nosrednaekim: oh no, I already click 'no', can I run again the diskmounter scritp and answer 'yes' this time? | 21:06 |
| BluesKaj | nosrednaekim, could you help TooEarly , I have to go , thx :) | 21:06 |
| nosrednaekim | Arilou: probably.... | 21:06 |
| nosrednaekim | TooEarly: whats the problem? | 21:06 |
| nosrednaekim | BluesKaj: ok.. no problem | 21:06 |
| sigma_kubuntu | whats the best way to backup kubuntu? | 21:07 |
| TooEarly | nosrednaekim: well i have my tv tuner output to the line input on my audigy and i am not getting sound | 21:07 |
| TooEarly | nosrednaekim: but when i plug it into the mic in it works but the sound is always playing | 21:07 |
| nosrednaekim | TooEarly: this TV tuner is on your computer? | 21:07 |
| nosrednaekim | TooEarly: what do you mean the sound is always playing?you can't turn it off? | 21:07 |
| TooEarly | nosrednaekim: it's an ATI TV Wonder - PCI slot | 21:07 |
| === clau is now known as clau85 | ||
| TooEarly | nosrednaekim: (this is only when it's plugged into the mic in) and i can turn it off by muting the AMic in alsamixer/kmix | 21:08 |
| nosrednaekim | TooEarly: so what is the problem? | 21:08 |
| TooEarly | well, BluesKaj said i should use the mic in and the line in doesn't work for me. and shouldn't the audio shut off when my tv program is closed (tvtime) | 21:09 |
| nosrednaekim | TooEarly: no, it shouldn't. | 21:10 |
| nosrednaekim | Line In doesn't always work for me either for some reason. | 21:10 |
| JRlinux | trying Kubuntu live on nearby computer. Looking to install Audacity. That package is not found. So No Audacity on kubuntu? | 21:10 |
| Manad | hi..I'm in trouble. | 21:10 |
| nosrednaekim | JRlinux: yeah, its in there run "sudo apt-get update" and then try to install it | 21:11 |
| TooEarly | nosrednaekim: so you're saying that i'm just going to have to use the mic in and have to manually do it everytime | 21:11 |
| nosrednaekim | Manad: whats the problem | 21:11 |
| Manad | I was installing a new desk, so I removed all the wires on my PC, then put them all back when done. Now, when I get to the logon screen (Kubuntu wallpaper, prompting me for a username and password), after I login, it logs back out immediately. | 21:11 |
| JRlinux | nosrednaekim, OK, thanks | 21:11 |
| nosrednaekim | TooEarly: yeah, well, you could probably write up a script to mute it when you close tvtime.. | 21:11 |
| Manad | The only thing that's different is which USB ports my mouse/keyboard/monitor-usb were plugged into | 21:11 |
| Manad | how could THAT break Kubuntu? | 21:12 |
| nosrednaekim | Manad: monitor USB? | 21:12 |
| Manad | I was able to login by doing a failsafe login, then launching Xsession from the terminal (although it's XFCE, not KDE) | 21:12 |
| x_bruno | hello | 21:12 |
| Manad | nosrednaekim: my monitor has USB ports which you can use if you connect a USB cable from the monitor to one of the PC's real USB ports. | 21:12 |
| x_bruno | since distro upgrade, some of my programs that use glib do not work, the menus do not display any text | 21:13 |
| nosrednaekim | Manad: ah..ok I see | 21:13 |
| nosrednaekim | x_bruno: which menus... the programs that use glib? | 21:13 |
| Manad | any "repair" operations I can perform on KDE? | 21:14 |
| x_bruno | ecclipse, scite, ePDFviewer | 21:14 |
| nosrednaekim | Manad: hmm I'm not sure what the problem is, do you have any other users on the computer? | 21:14 |
| Manad | none, just me | 21:14 |
| x_bruno | I only see squares for the menus | 21:14 |
| x_bruno | the strings do not display | 21:14 |
| x_bruno | such as file, edit, etc | 21:15 |
| nosrednaekim | Manad: ok, try this, "cp ~/.kde ~/.kde-backup" | 21:15 |
| Manad | kdm_greet is not launching. I got an error at one point (although it usually kicks me back to the login screen without any errors). | 21:15 |
| TooEarly | nosrednaekim: | 21:15 |
| Manad | says "omitting directory /home/user1/.kde | 21:15 |
| TooEarly | nosrednaekim: does this cause a problem? -- Unable to find simple control 'capture' | 21:15 |
| nosrednaekim | Manad: ah "cp -R ~/.kde ~/.kde-backup" | 21:16 |
| nosrednaekim | TooEarly: whats giving that error? | 21:16 |
| nosrednaekim | Manad: kdm_greet? hmm | 21:16 |
| Manad | allright, no errors this time, but nothing's happening. Should I reboot? | 21:16 |
| xst | Is it possible to get Xorg7.3 on gutsy? | 21:16 |
| TooEarly | nosrednaekim: amixer set Capture,0 100%,100% captur | 21:17 |
| x_Bruce | hello again | 21:17 |
| x_Bruce | nosrednaekim: , you wre saying about the menus_ | 21:17 |
| nosrednaekim | xst: not really | 21:17 |
| nosrednaekim | x_Bruce: are those gtk apps? | 21:18 |
| nosrednaekim | well,ecclipse is java.. | 21:18 |
| x_Bruce | I would believe so | 21:18 |
| xst | Damn - dual screen configuration really sucks at the moment :-( | 21:18 |
| nosrednaekim | TooEarly: which application is giving that output? | 21:18 |
| nosrednaekim | xst: go to hardy :D | 21:19 |
| Manad | nos, should I reboot now, after I did that cp command? | 21:19 |
| TooEarly | nosrednaekim: i'm typing that in a terminal | 21:19 |
| TooEarly | amixer is the application | 21:19 |
| xst | nosrednaekim: Has hardy xorg7.3 already? Or will xorg7.3 first be included in a later release? | 21:19 |
| nosrednaekim | TooEarly: ahh,ok. well it seems you don't have the caputre control, which controls the input levels on Line In (I think) | 21:20 |
| nosrednaekim | xst: hardy is already 7.3 | 21:20 |
| xst | Great | 21:20 |
| JRlinux | nosrednaekim, I did the update, but the Adept installer still can't find it... so I do "sudo apt-get install Audacity" ? | 21:20 |

| nosrednaekim | x_Bruce: are the apps spitting out any errors? | 21:26 |
| nosrednaekim | JRlinux: is what? | 21:26 |
| JRlinux | nosrednaekim, OK, I guess. In the adept installer I clicked "Edit Software Sourdes" and I now click ""Community-Maintained Open Source software (universe)? And then to get lame and lame libraries I click on the multiverse ? | 21:26 |
| x_Bruce | no | 21:26 |
| Manad | nosrednaekim: that fixed my problem. What did that command do? | 21:26 |
| nosrednaekim | just check em all :D | 21:27 |
| x_Bruce | the only issue is that instead of text, you have squares | 21:27 |
| JRlinux | Right, OK | 21:27 |
| nosrednaekim | Manad: erased all of your KDE configs. | 21:27 |
| Manad | excellent. saved for future reference. | 21:27 |
| nosrednaekim | Manad: they are stored in a back-up though | 21:27 |
| nosrednaekim | just in case you use Kmail, or kopete or konqueror, that would have erased all your settings | 21:27 |
| Manad | still not sure why this happened. It's as if this problem was unrelated to me unplugging all the wires. | 21:28 |
| nosrednaekim | Manad: i've seen it happen occasionally. | 21:28 |
| JRlinux | nosrednaekim, I have been fighting getting Audacity/lame libraries installed in PCLinuxOS 2007-- and much frustration, so trying Kubuntu. Good luck to me! | 21:28 |
| Manad | well ,thanks for your help | 21:28 |
| Manad | ciao | 21:28 |
| nosrednaekim | bye | 21:28 |
| nosrednaekim | JRlinux: yup... its pretty easy in kubuntu.:D good luck | 21:29 |

| tlayton | ubotu: i had both the nessus 3.0.6 and nessus client 3.0.0 beta 3 installed. both are gone now | 21:59 |
| ardchoille | !bot | tlayton | 21:59 |
| ubotu | tlayton: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots | 21:59 |
| nosrednaekim | MrJigsaw: ok, when you are in there, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" select the vesa driver, and then run "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart" | 21:59 |
| _Sebulba_ | anyone found a way to stop the kdm or gdm login screen from moving when the pointer moves? | 21:59 |
| nosrednaekim | _Sebulba_: MOVING? | 21:59 |
| ardchoille | _Sebulba_: Really? | 22:00 |
| MrJigsaw | Okay nosrednaekim.. | 22:00 |
| _Sebulba_ | yeah, it's like it's being dragged | 22:00 |
| _Sebulba_ | try it, log out | 22:00 |
| _Sebulba_ | then move the pointer | 22:00 |
| nosrednaekim | _Sebulba_: like, its bigger than your screen? | 22:00 |
| _Sebulba_ | no, the size is right, just the login part moves like it's being dragged | 22:00 |
| _Sebulba_ | it works fine | 22:01 |
| scheater5 | ogre: sorry I took so long - internet dropped | 22:01 |
| _Sebulba_ | its just rather annoying | 22:01 |
| nosrednaekim | _Sebulba_: what? | 22:01 |
| scheater5 | ogre: but yes, I do have an idea for you | 22:01 |
| ogre | scheater5: no big deal | 22:01 |
| ogre | nice. is it getdeb? | 22:01 |
| _Sebulba_ | look, try it for urself. log out then move the mouse around the screen | 22:01 |
| scheater5 | ogre: I got avant working by compiling from source, as per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=385981 | 22:01 |
| nosrednaekim | _Sebulba_: does it only move when your pointer gets close to the sides? | 22:02 |
| ogre | ahhh sounds fun | 22:02 |
| _Sebulba_ | what I get is the part u type ur name and pasword into moves like it's being dragged | 22:02 |
| ogre | ill give it a try | 22:02 |
| scheater5 | ...or perhaps is was kiba I had to compile...neway that forum posting has your answer | 22:02 |
| _Sebulba_ | nosrednaekim: yes | 22:02 |
| ogre | ogre: what about getdeb.net? | 22:03 |
| _Sebulba_ | i guess it varies depending on where the pointer was on the screen when u log out, sometimes it's already off center | 22:03 |
| ogre | scheater5: what about getdeb.net? | 22:03 |
| scheater5 | never used it, but I have occasionally downloaded individual files from packages.debian.org. I tend to prefer a repo when possible because of potential dependence problems | 22:03 |
| _Sebulba_ | kdm seems better than gdm at this but they both do it | 22:03 |
| jsl | uhm... for some reason firefox and thunderbird have stopped working for me. I've tried purging the profiles, the program and -safe-mode, but are unable of finding any error messages anywhere... any ideas as to where to start looking? | 22:04 |

| ubotu | Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 22:04 |
| nosrednaekim | _Sebulba_: yeah... its an X problem of some sort, wrong resolution somewhere | 22:04 |
| _Sebulba_ | alrighty, so it's fixable then? | 22:04 |
| _Sebulba_ | i've had it with every distro except pclinuxos | 22:05 |
| _Sebulba_ | for whatever reason, it behaved | 22:05 |
| ogre | how do i install .deb files? anything similar to fileroller for gnome? | 22:06 |
| nosrednaekim | _Sebulba_: somehow :D | 22:06 |
| nosrednaekim | ogre: gdebi-kde | 22:06 |
| ardchoille | ogre: You can double-click a .deb package, but have you checked the repos first to see if the app is there? | 22:07 |
| rothchild | I've got a problem with the login manager, it only gives me 'log out' in kde and takes me back to kdm rather than allowing me to shutdown directly from kde, how do I get shutdown back? | 22:07 |
| _Sebulba_ | ty | 22:07 |
| ogre | ardchoille: yeah I'm trying to install AWN | 22:07 |
| scheater5 | you just download and then click on them. | 22:07 |
| nosrednaekim | rothchild: are you using XGL? | 22:07 |
| ardchoille | ogre: Ah, ok, I don't think that is in the repos | 22:07 |

| nosrednaekim | rothchild: not unless you installed xserver-xgl | 22:08 |
| rothchild | can I take it out without borking compiz if I have got it installed? | 22:09 |
| nosrednaekim | rothchild: if you have an nvidia, yes | 22:11 |

| Wilde_Sehnsucht | is there any howto about increasing kubuntu's speed? it works much slower than windows on AMD Athlon XP 2200+ with 768 MB RAM... | 22:12 |
| virnik | nosrednaekim: got it. almost five milions of tiny files under web folder in cache... grrrrrrrr hole in web pages... | 22:12 |
| nosrednaekim | Wilde_Sehnsucht: check whats using your CPU and ram with the alt+esc taskmanager | 22:12 |
| rothchild | I can see it's installed in adept | 22:12 |
| romunov | gnome runs much slower than kde for me... i wonder what's the difference...? :> | 22:13 |
| nosrednaekim | rothchild: ok, uninstall that then | 22:14 |
| Wilde_Sehnsucht | nosrednaekim: firefox, X, and eclipse eats my cpu ... | 22:14 |
| nosrednaekim | virnik: heh :D | 22:14 |
| nosrednaekim | Wilde_Sehnsucht: are you using compiz? | 22:14 |
| rothchild | it's gone, I guess I need to restart x? | 22:14 |
| nosrednaekim | rothchild: correcta-mundo | 22:15 |
| Wilde_Sehnsucht | nosrednaekim: it makes no sense if compiz is on or off. it runs the same speed | 22:15 |
| rothchild | ta, see you on the other side | 22:15 |
| Wilde_Sehnsucht | nosrednaekim: i compare the speed of my kubuntu at work which runs on Intel 3GHZ with 1GB RAM...there's a big difference...very big... | 22:16 |
| _Sebulba_ | Wilde_Sehnsucht: mixing gnome and kde apps can slow it down | 22:17 |
| _Sebulba_ | i try to stick to qt apps in kde | 22:17 |
| _Sebulba_ | and gtk+ in gnome | 22:17 |
| Wilde_Sehnsucht | _Sebulba_: really? i didn't know about that O_o | 22:17 |
| _Sebulba_ | its extra libraries | 22:17 |
| Wilde_Sehnsucht | oh.. | 22:17 |
| _Sebulba_ | sticking to native apps it already has the libraries there | 22:18 |
| rakan | Hello | 22:18 |
| _Sebulba_ | using non-native apps it needs to use extra libraries | 22:18 |
| Wilde_Sehnsucht | I see | 22:18 |
| _Sebulba_ | which can take up resources | 22:18 |
| nosrednaekim | hello rakan | 22:18 |
| rakan | How can i share my DVD rom to be accessed by Windows? i used samba and windows sees the drive | 22:18 |
| rakan | but it's asking me for a password | 22:18 |
| Wilde_Sehnsucht | but i can't stop using firefox :( | 22:18 |
| _Sebulba_ | in modern pc's it's usually neglegable difference | 22:18 |

| gabriel_ | does anyone recommend a file manager that is better than dolphin? | 22:31 |
| _Sebulba_ | konqurer | 22:31 |
| virnik | please, can somebody help me out? somethings is eating my free space on / - i have 100% usage now...cant find out what is it...its not log files, its not apt cache... | 22:31 |
| _Sebulba_ | konquerer* | 22:31 |
| gabriel_ | it a web browser as well right? | 22:32 |
| TimS | virnik: install filelight | 22:32 |
| _Sebulba_ | yes, but u dont need to use it as a web browser | 22:32 |
| TimS | It will let you see what is taking up how much room | 22:32 |
| virnik | TimS: i dont know this app, but it is on server, over ssh and without X | 22:32 |
| virnik | TimS: ok, i will try | 22:32 |
| TimS | Dont | 22:33 |
| TimS | Its an X app | 22:33 |
| virnik | lol | 22:33 |
| TimS | You can run CLI yes? | 22:33 |
| nosrednaekim | tehm0nk: thats seems safest :D | 22:33 |
| virnik | i cant even install it...cos I am out of space | 22:33 |
| _Sebulba_ | i like konquerer as a file browser, but firefox as a web browser. there are profiles for each setting, so u can separate the functions easy | 22:33 |
| gabriel_ | can i make the backbutton work there? i mean the mouse thumb button? | 22:33 |
| virnik | TimS: true... | 22:33 |
| nosrednaekim | gabriel_: probably | 22:33 |
| TimS | run "ls -ash" on / | 22:33 |
| gabriel_ | in dolphin it seems u can't | 22:33 |
| TimS | Paste it into a query with me | 22:33 |
| virnik | gabriel_: yes, you can | 22:33 |
| virnik | TimS: I will try | 22:34 |
| _Sebulba_ | dolphin was designed as a simplified konquerer file browser | 22:34 |
| Sajes | After installing Fluxbox (from apt) and logging in, right clicking the desktop brings no menu up; but the bar on the bottom is there. Any suggestions? | 22:34 |
| _Sebulba_ | it's not bad when u get used to it | 22:34 |
| TimS | I wish Dolphin was tabbed =[ | 22:34 |
| _Sebulba_ | yeah, tabs would be nice | 22:35 |
| nosrednaekim | the kde4 dolphin rocks | 22:36 |
| nosrednaekim | but not the kde3 version | 22:36 |
| _Sebulba_ | I'd say give dolphin time to get used to it | 22:36 |
| _Sebulba_ | it does still make me double take when I open home, and it's not konquerer, but after u get used to it....it's not too bad | 22:37 |
| gabriel_ | virnik: do u know how? | 22:37 |
| gabriel_ | nosrednaekim: oh there's a big differance? | 22:38 |
| nosrednaekim | gabriel_:usability-wise... huge | 22:38 |
| gabriel_ | cool | 22:39 |
| gabriel_ | so.. i can just upgrade to kde 4... or? | 22:39 |
| _Sebulba_ | kde 4 is still not in final release yet | 22:39 |
| nosrednaekim | gabriel_: you can run dolphin4 from within kde3 | 22:39 |
| nosrednaekim | but I don't reccomend it | 22:40 |
| _Sebulba_ | it's due in january | 22:40 |
| _Sebulba_ | i'd wait until at least then to try it | 22:40 |
| gabriel_ | ah ok cool | 22:40 |
| gabriel_ | i'm not in a rush :) | 22:40 |
| _Sebulba_ | launched january 11th I believe | 22:40 |
| gabriel_ | right | 22:40 |
| _Sebulba_ | or better yet, wait until its considered stable enough to be included in a major distro as standard and try it then | 22:41 |
| charlesg3 | for some reason it doesn't matter what 'session' i choose in KDM it ALWAYS loads KDE | 22:41 |
| virnik | <gabriel_> sure, remap your mouse in X | 22:41 |
| TimS | Crap | 22:42 |
| TimS | I just did ls -R by mistake, now its listing all my files! | 22:42 |
| gabriel_ | virnik: back button is working in firefox already | 22:42 |
| tehm0nk | hmm thats odd... my kubuntu starts to boot on one monitor then finishes on another... | 22:42 |
| virnik | gabriel_: ah so... | 22:42 |

| wladek_ | when i do a 'lspci' to get the device id's for my multiheaded nvidia graphics card, i can only see the only device id | 23:21 |
| wladek_ | but this howto says there should be one for each head | 23:21 |

| nosrednaekim | wladek_: thats if you have two graphics card I would imagine | 23:22 |
| rothchild | sorry I got it, I had a dumb font selection | 23:23 |
| nosrednaekim | rothchild: cool. does compiz work now? | 23:24 |
| maninder | how do i fix the settings for compizÉ | 23:24 |
| maninder | i cant click x and close the window its missing now | 23:25 |
| sub[t]rnl | how do you mean? | 23:25 |
| maninder | like the half top part of the windows is missing | 23:25 |
| maninder | were u click x to close the window | 23:25 |
| sub[t]rnl | oh, you'll need the window decorator for compiz, emerald | 23:25 |
| sub[t]rnl | sudo apt-get install emerald | 23:26 |
| sub[t]rnl | then run 'emerald --replace' | 23:26 |
| sub[t]rnl | if you aren't seeing any icons in ccsm, you might need librsvg2-common as well | 23:26 |
| rothchild | compiz was working anyway and still is, when I took out xserver-xgl it messed with all my fonts and when I readjusted them I selected 'opensymbol' which doesn't seem to play with OO but I got it tweaked now, thanks for your help | 23:26 |
| maninder | but will this gimmi the same effects i ahve nowÉ | 23:26 |
| sub[t]rnl | maninder: emerald just decorates the open windows, so yes you'll have all the effects, but your windows will have borders | 23:27 |
| sub[t]rnl | which is all customizable of course | 23:27 |
| _Sebulba_ | some themes have no buttons, but u'll see those in the emerald themes list | 23:28 |
| maninder | so how do i change border colour | 23:29 |
| nosrednaekim | rothchild: ok, no problem | 23:29 |
| maninder | how do i close the adept notifier | 23:31 |
| maninder | its like stuck in thee corner of my screen | 23:31 |
| _Sebulba_ | right click on it and exit | 23:31 |
| _Sebulba_ | i keep having probs with adept crashing, so I just avoid it and use Synaptic | 23:32 |
| ogre | how do i make certain apps run when I boot up? is there anything similar to "sessions" in ubuntu? | 23:32 |
| sub[t]rnl | !autostart |ogre | 23:32 |
| ubotu | ogre: To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. | 23:32 |
| sub[t]rnl | err, boot, sorry | 23:32 |
| sub[t]rnl | you'll need to add a script to start it in /etc/init.d/ | 23:33 |
| ogre | dang :/ | 23:33 |
| nosrednaekim | !autorun | 23:33 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about autorun - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:33 |
| maninder | yo when i stype in emerald --replace | 23:33 |
| maninder | and i close the konsole | 23:33 |
| maninder | the settings done save | 23:33 |
| maninder | how do i save it | 23:33 |
| sub[t]rnl | use alt +f2 and run it, or type emerald --replace & | 23:33 |
| sub[t]rnl | in konsole | 23:33 |
| maninder | ye but when i close konsole | 23:34 |
| maninder | the settings go back | 23:34 |
| maninder | and they dont save | 23:34 |
| sub[t]rnl | use alt+f2 and run it | 23:34 |
| ogre | sub[t]rnl, i have no friggin' clue how to do that. can u give me a short walkthrough or point me to a wiki? | 23:34 |
| maninder | i mean how do i save the settings and exit konsole | 23:35 |
| ogre | im trying to have superkarambe rum at startup | 23:35 |
| nosrednaekim | ogre: that can be run at kde startup./.. | 23:35 |
| Dr_willis | dont 'close' the console with the X button, use the 'exit' command also. | 23:35 |
| ogre | superkaramba* | 23:35 |
| sub[t]rnl | ogre yeah run that by adding a link in your .kde/Autostart/ directory | 23:35 |
| ogre | in konsole? | 23:36 |
| Dr_willis | make a simple script in Autostart also. can do it. | 23:36 |
| nosrednaekim | !autostart | 23:36 |
| ubotu | To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. | 23:36 |
| sub[t]rnl | ogre: ln -s ~/.kde/Autostart/superkaramba /usr/bin/superkaramba <-- example | 23:36 |
| _Sebulba_ | anyone know how I can get the group list to download and save in knode so I can subscribe to some? | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis | actually with superkaramba i think the kde session manager can rember/restart it. :) | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis | But it works for other apps that dont play well with session manageer. | 23:37 |
| _Sebulba_ | everytime I try it shows progress, but never loads anything | 23:37 |

| 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 | 23:39 |

| Schuenemann | what did you try? | 23:40 |
| nosrednaekim | tehm0nk-otherpc: what'd you do? | 23:40 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | i put the nvidia-new drivers | 23:40 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | which i'm supposed to for my 8600gt | 23:40 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | and i put compiz on there | 23:40 |
| nosrednaekim | tehm0nk-otherpc: did you use the restricted-manager? | 23:40 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | i tried messing with the nvidia settings but to no avail | 23:40 |
| matttis_angry | Schuenemann: i've deleted something which I added to my prefs.js | 23:40 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | nosrednaekim no idea | 23:41 |
| matttis_angry | Schuenemann: but i found the error on a other way | 23:41 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | deal is i can't get back in now... | 23:41 |
| nosrednaekim | tehm0nk-otherpc: oh yes you can. | 23:41 |
| nosrednaekim | :D | 23:41 |
| maninder | yo when i type in emerald --replace the settings dont stay | 23:41 |
| Schuenemann | matttis_angry, what was it? | 23:41 |
| maninder | what should i do | 23:41 |
| nosrednaekim | tehm0nk-otherpc: do "ctrl+alt+f2" and log in there. | 23:41 |
| maninder | it changed as soon as i close konsole | 23:41 |
| sub[t]rnl | maninder: hold down alt, then press f2 | 23:41 |
| nosrednaekim | maninder: run that from a "alt+f2" run dialog | 23:41 |
| matttis_angry | Schuenemann: "dom.disable_img_src_set" was changed by user, so it tryed to change it back and it works | 23:42 |
| sub[t]rnl | ^^ | 23:42 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | then what? | 23:42 |
| tehm0nk-otherpc | startx doesn't work | 23:42 |
| maninder | that just opnes another run command box | 23:42 |
| nosrednaekim | tehm0nk-otherpc: run "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log" | 23:42 |
| maninder | i wana save the setting in konsole and exit it | 23:42 |
| nosrednaekim | and see what it failed on. | 23:42 |
| matttis_angry | Schuenemann: i think it's the option "don't load images from different server" or something like that | 23:42 |
| _Sebulba_ | maninder: what are u trying to save in konsole and it dont save? | 23:43 |
| maninder | when i type in emerald --replace | 23:43 |
| maninder | i see the settings and changes | 23:43 |
| maninder | and when i close konsole it goes back to normal | 23:43 |
| maninder | so how do i save it | 23:43 |
| sub[t]rnl | maninder: don't type it in konsole. | 23:43 |
| maninder | type it in run commandÉ | 23:44 |
| _Sebulba_ | try looking at the sessions, and "save as default" | 23:44 |
| Schuenemann | matttis_angry, but the images are hosted there | 23:44 |
| matttis_angry | Schuenemann: actually i miss this option under Edit -> preferences | 23:44 |

| tehm0nk-otherpc | heh | 23:44 |
| matttis_angry | Schuenemann: But i dont know what else i could be, that I have changed | 23:44 |
| nosrednaekim | tehm0nk-otherpc: thats the normal error... "shift+pageup" to find the cause for it. | 23:45 |
| Schuenemann | matttis_angry, are you sure you don't have noscript enabled? | 23:45 |
| matttis_angry | yes | 23:45 |

| maninder | cause i cant do a proper question mark etc | 23:50 |
| nosrednaekim | tehm0nk-otherpc: the nvidia driver uses a kernel driver in order to get 3d accelreation | 23:50 |
| nosrednaekim | tehm0nk-otherpc: shouldn't need to reinstall | 23:51 |
| _Sebulba_ | maninder: kcontrol gives a keyboard settings area I think | 23:51 |
| nosrednaekim | tehm0nk-otherpc: try running "sudo modprobe nvidia" | 23:51 |
| _Sebulba_ | or kmenu>>system settings>>keyboard | 23:51 |
| skarface | what command does the system settings icon run? | 23:52 |
