| savageone | it's at home | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| savageone | i got no internet there | 00:00 |
| savageone | I'm in my office about to go there haha | 00:00 |
| savageone | I'm a mile from my house | 00:00 |
| savageone | lemme ask you this, what will i get inr escue mode? | 00:00 |
| savageone | internet support? | 00:00 |
| savageone | apt-get support? | 00:00 |
| savageone | can Ir emove packages in there | 00:00 |
| NeoFax | savageone: You will need a internet connection or your apt setup with CD capability | 00:00 |
| drbobb | greg: type : printenv http_proxy | 00:00 |
| drbobb | at the command line | 00:00 |
| drbobb | what do you get? | 00:00 |
| savageone | neo: will I have network access while in rescue mode, chosen from grub | 00:01 |
| savageone | also, what is the linux restricted module thing there, I apt-get'd that and immediately after this happened | 00:01 |
| greg | drbobb: http://username:password@franc.cc.strath.ac.uk:8080 | 00:02 |
| NeoFax | Once you are in and apt is setup as CD, do sudo apt-cache search nvidia. Then do sudo apt-get install (now here you will type the nvidia-newest-driver). This will install the drivers for the nvidia 100.14.19 set. After that, do sudo init 3 and then sudo init 5. You should have a perfect X setup | 00:02 |
| greg | drbobb: That would be the problem, how do I go about resetting that ? | 00:02 |
| NeoFax | savageone: No. rescuer mode is exactly that. The bare minimum to rescue a system | 00:03 |
| savageone | neo: can I do apt-get remove xxx though that wouldn't require internet right? | 00:03 |
| savageone | UI don't have a live cd | 00:04 |
| savageone | this is sort of an appliance type distro, all on a dvd, no live boot | 00:04 |
| drbobb | greg: yes that's it. You certainly don't want it anymore | 00:04 |
| drbobb | look in .bash_profile and .bashrc in your home dir | 00:05 |
| greg | drbobb: Will do. | 00:05 |
| drbobb | there has to be a line like http_proxy=... | 00:05 |
| drbobb | or export http_proxy=.. | 00:05 |
| drbobb | comment it out by putting a hash (#) in front | 00:06 |
| NeoFax | savageone: Yes, you can do that, but you will need to install the vanilla nv driver. It should be like xorg-server-nv or something like that. Then do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xorg and it should ask to setup your xorg.conf file which you should do. Or you can manually edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change nvidia to nv | 00:06 |
| savageone | the xorg says nv! | 00:07 |
| greg | drbobb: Will do, just finding it. | 00:07 |
| savageone | I was told to try changing it to: nvidia | 00:07 |
| A|i3N | question: Downloading kubuntu 7.10 - I have a vista system - is there a way to dual boot without having to erase my current o/s first? | 00:07 |
| savageone | k neofax | 00:07 |
| savageone | I'm off to give it a go | 00:07 |
| NeoFax | savageone: And you get a split screen? | 00:08 |
| drbobb | log out and log back in before it takes effect | 00:08 |
| soulrider | !nvidia | 00:08 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 00:08 |
| savageone | neo: I DID get split screen, not I just get a splash screen for kubuntu that has a progress bar that goes about 1 inch and stops | 00:08 |
| savageone | I also think I shouldn't have installed the linux restricted modules thing, do you know what that is? | 00:08 |
| NeoFax | savageone: Did you check /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see exactly what the problem is? | 00:09 |
| savageone | nope | 00:09 |
| savageone | but I'm taking notes on what to try since I don't have internet there atm because it's my router, and I'm going to check that | 00:09 |
| savageone | anything specific I should look for? | 00:09 |
| savageone | maybe it's related to this restricted modules thing | 00:09 |
| NeoFax | savageone: It is ubuntu's way of allowing restricted drivers to be installed, but not be held legally responsible. | 00:09 |
| savageone | anyone know what the hellt hat is? | 00:09 |
| savageone | fuck | 00:10 |
| savageone | that's proably what happened | 00:10 |
| savageone | restricted drivers as in nvidia drivers? | 00:10 |
| savageone | or is that a pretty mundane thingand probably not my issue | 00:10 |
| savageone | you'd think linux would load at least but it doesn't | 00:10 |
| savageone | then maybe give me a command prompt and an x error | 00:10 |
| NeoFax | savageone: It is the ubuntu way. Thousands use it every day with no problem. I am assuming it is not NVIDIA related and something else entirely. In the Xorg.0.log look for lines that begin with EE. | 00:11 |
| savageone | where is that Xorg.0.log file? | 00:11 |
| NeoFax | savageone: restricted drivers as in proprietary and not open sourced. | 00:11 |
| NeoFax | It is in /var/log | 00:11 |
| NeoFax | You new to linux? | 00:11 |

| NeoFax | You have been lucky | 00:12 |
| savageone | but I'm an idiot when it comes to x | 00:12 |
| peterbecker_ | how do I stop knetworkmanager from connecting to networks I don't want it to connect to? | 00:12 |
| savageone | because 99.9 percent of what I do doesn't require it | 00:12 |
| savageone | and I use a lot of pussy-linux stuff like ipcop, etc | 00:12 |
| savageone | so I don'thave to think much | 00:12 |
| savageone | ;) | 00:12 |
| peterbecker_ | it is currently annoying the h^&$* out of me by reconnecting to some "default" WLAN all the time | 00:13 |
| savageone | but I learn by making mistakes like everyone else | 00:13 |
| peterbecker_ | which means all my connections break | 00:13 |

| rubax | it can never connect, neither to wireless or LAN | 00:15 |

| greg | drbobb: Yup, I think he's became a "Buddy" :P | 00:16 |
| drbobb | greg: try /etc/bash.bashrc | 00:17 |
| rubax | any way to reinstall it or something? | 00:17 |
| drbobb | or /etc/profile | 00:17 |
| NeoFax | rubax: What was you using to connect to the wireless AP's? | 00:18 |
| rubax | knetwork | 00:18 |
| NeoFax | A|i3N: Yes, google for it and there are tutorials. | 00:18 |
| NeoFax | rubax: You mean knetworkmanager? | 00:18 |
| rubax | yep | 00:18 |

| drbobb | greg: that makes no sense | 00:23 |
| greg | drbobb: :S | 00:23 |
| drbobb | only the first command would work | 00:23 |
| rubax | ok, sorry, Im back. Yes, its running along. when I see the addresses it gives nothing, but it says the wired connection is active | 00:23 |
| drbobb | and it wouldn't make the setting stick | 00:24 |
| rubax | and when I try the wireless, it tries to connect but then drops it | 00:24 |
| drbobb | stick across a reboot or even logout, i mean | 00:24 |
| rubax | then, neither of them appear on the tray | 00:24 |
| greg | drbobb: Mmm.. I'll look to see if he creates a file or something.. | 00:24 |
| drbobb | when you get bored of all the sleuthing, just put a line : unset http_proxy | 00:25 |

| rubax | I get: No DHCP offers received | 00:30 |
| NeoFax | rubax: OK, then can you check your router logs to see what could be causing the problem? | 00:31 |
| rubax | ok | 00:32 |
| NeoFax | rubax: Also, is eth0 your nic card? Probably should have asked this before. Also, you do have an actual wired connection plus a wireless one? | 00:32 |
| rubax | ok, my interfaces file seems to be wrong also | 00:33 |
| rubax | eth0 is not my nic | 00:33 |

| cowlikk | i need help | 00:34 |
| cowlikk | pretty please | 00:34 |
| NeoFax | rubax: before you change the interfaces file, you need to decide if you want to use networkmanager or want to manually connect to wireless AP's | 00:34 |
| NeoFax | OK, if eth0 is not your nic, what is? | 00:34 |
| rubax | I'd like to keep using the KNM | 00:35 |
| NeoFax | cowlikk: What is your problem | 00:35 |
| cowlikk | when i log out then back in it just loads a peach screen and nothing more | 00:35 |
| rubax | OH, I see now. In xubuntu, I had eth0 as nic and eth1 as wired | 00:35 |
| NeoFax | rubax: Then don't touch the interfaces file. It should only contain auto lo and lo loopback line | 00:35 |
| NeoFax | eth1 is your nic and eth0 is your wireless card. | 00:36 |
| rubax | it contains more stuff, let me do the pastebin | 00:36 |

| rubax | but I cant connect to the wired and the wireless hangs up trying to configure | 00:43 |
| NeoFax | kub^: I would suggest the Hauppauge PVR-500 line as it has a decoder built on the board. I would use mythtv then or tvtime | 00:43 |
| NeoFax | rubax: Did you delete those two lines? | 00:44 |
| kub^ | will that work out of the box NeoFax ? | 00:44 |
| rubax | yes | 00:44 |
| NeoFax | kub^: No, you need to apt-get the ivtv drivers and then it works great. Also, I take back the tvtime as it doesn't work yet, but mplayer does. | 00:45 |
| rubax | doublechecked, they are not there anymore | 00:45 |

| knights | less file.pdf | festival --tts | 00:45 |
| knights | to read PDFs out for me | 00:45 |
| NeoFax | rubax: You will need to reboot your system as it needs to correct the setup of the nic and wireless cards. You could try sudo /etc/init.d/networkmanager restart | 00:46 |
| knights | It works well enough as I can pause it using CTRL-Z but I'd like to improve the command so that I know how far into the PDF or text file I am, in words or pages or letters or something so that I might resume at that point later? | 00:46 |
| knights | any ideas how I could do this? | 00:46 |

| NeoFax | kub^: I would recommend any Hauppauge as the drivers are built in to linux kernels. Except for the ivitv stuff | 01:00 |

| Dragnslcr | I checked k3b, looks like it only has .mp3, .ogg, and .wav | 01:02 |

| sat_ | it's really easy.. didn't have any difficulty at all. | 01:15 |
| usr002 | MinimizeToTray is not available for Linux | 01:15 |
| sat_ | i bought the Ubuntu official book. | 01:15 |
| NeoFax | usr002: biff is good, but it does not download the mail it just checks the pop server. | 01:15 |
| rubax | Hmm. It gives me no ip address on ifconfig, but knm shows the ip. I cant run ifup either, it says: ignoring unknown interface | 01:15 |
| usr002 | mail client | 01:15 |
| flaccid | usr002: no but alltray is | 01:15 |
| nosrednaekim | sat_: you had any previous linux/unix experience? | 01:15 |
| flaccid | usr002: i use opera | 01:15 |
| NeoFax | rubax: What is the ip 192.x.x.x? | 01:15 |
| usr002 | no x86_64 support | 01:15 |
| sat_ | no, prev. linux exp. | 01:15 |
| rubax | 192.168.1.100 | 01:16 |
| NeoFax | sat_: Linux today is so easy compared to when I started using it. | 01:16 |
| sat_ | how are you addressing it to me. how can i get your name . | 01:16 |
| nosrednaekim | sat_: cool! have you tried out installing packages and such things? | 01:16 |
| nosrednaekim | sat_: type the first two letters and press tab | 01:16 |
| NeoFax | rubax: Trying running a traceroute to see where the packets drop. | 01:16 |
| usr002 | i started with Corel | 01:16 |
| usr002 | lol | 01:17 |
| sat_ | nosrednaekim: great thanks. | 01:17 |
| usr002 | a long time ago | 01:17 |
| flaccid | usr002: they will probably do that when its worth doing it | 01:17 |
| nosrednaekim | sat_: so have you tried using the package manager? | 01:17 |
| rubax | Cant download the app | 01:17 |
| flaccid | usr002: you can still run the 32bit version iirc | 01:17 |
| sat_ | nosrednaekim: i did try and istalled some software.. | 01:18 |
| NeoFax | usr002: I have used it since Yggdrassil, then to RedHat like 4 something and then SuSE until pretty much Ubuntu came out and Debian distros since. | 01:18 |
| rubax | duh, ill install it from here hehe | 01:18 |
| flaccid | usr002: actually in opera 9.5 kestrel they are doing 64bit builds | 01:18 |
| nosrednaekim | sat_: how easy was that? | 01:18 |
| sat_ | nosrednaekim: in fact, i've become an advocate for ubuntu | 01:18 |
| nosrednaekim | sat_: cool :D | 01:18 |
| usr002 | i check it | 01:18 |
| sat_ | nosrednaekim: i've written a review in amazon for the book and Cd. sub: Ubuntu - best product of this decade | 01:19 |
| flaccid | s opera 9.5 addresses 64bit and qt4 iirc | 01:19 |
| flaccid | the official ubuntu book needs a head check and so does the wiki. its so unorganised. | 01:19 |
| NeoFax | sat_: U/K/Xbuntu are all good, but somethings I can't stand how they do. I would suggest DLing virtualbox and trying different distros to see what is out there. | 01:19 |
| nosrednaekim | sat_: hehe.... i've been using LInux for 5 years... so it kinda doesn't occur to me how easy Kubuntu is to use. | 01:19 |
| nosrednaekim | NeoFax: I disagree, I say learn one distro really well.... | 01:20 |
| NeoFax | nosrednaekim: What distro you start on? | 01:20 |
| nosrednaekim | NeoFax: especially when you are just starting out | 01:20 |
| nosrednaekim | NeoFax: Slackware for 2 years, Suse for 2, finally Kubuntu | 01:20 |
| maybeway36 | try them all, and decide on one :) | 01:20 |
| maybeway36 | i've used kubuntu for about 1.5 yrs, now i'm on mint | 01:21 |
| maybeway36 | they're very similar | 01:21 |
| sat_ | nosrednaekim: i started using kubuntu for everything. i'm using xp only for video chat.. i don't know how i can video chat in ubuntu. | 01:21 |
| NeoFax | nosrednaekim: I wish there was a bigger fanbase out there when I started. I would have never went RPM distro as long as I did. That is why I say check out other distros. | 01:21 |
| nosrednaekim | NeoFax: true :D | 01:21 |
| NeoFax | sat_: Skype, Ekiga, Kopete | 01:21 |
| maybeway36 | I say RPM is ok, as long as there is APT | 01:21 |
| NeoFax | maybeway36: You have never had RPM hell then | 01:22 |
| maybeway36 | it's apt | 01:22 |
| NeoFax | Kinda like dll hell on Windows | 01:22 |
| maybeway36 | not really | 01:22 |
| maybeway36 | only used fedora and pclinuxos a bit | 01:22 |
| sat_ | NeoFax: i tried ekiga. but, there is some port issue. it says some other program is using it. | 01:22 |
| maybeway36 | but APT managed everythng just fine for me | 01:22 |
| maybeway36 | as long as i got software from the distro | 01:23 |
| flaccid | windows doesn't have a packaging system | 01:23 |
| nosrednaekim | well, that was smart.... | 01:23 |
| flaccid | hehe | 01:23 |
| NeoFax | maybeway36: Apt is just a means to DL and install the package RPM is the actual package and previously RPM had a very messed up way of implementing checks and balances | 01:23 |
| maybeway36 | i do prefer deb | 01:23 |
| maybeway36 | i'll say that | 01:23 |
| NeoFax | flaccid: Checkout appupdater it is apt for windows | 01:23 |
| sat_ | does kopete support video chat. i don't see any option for it. | 01:23 |
| nosrednaekim | sat_: yes it does.. only for MSN though | 01:24 |
| NeoFax | sat_: Open the settings and if your webcam is supported then you will see apicture there. In the webcam tab | 01:24 |
| flaccid | NeoFax: lol no its not. | 01:24 |
| Max-P | sat_: amsn and kmess also support video chat | 01:24 |
| NeoFax | flaccid: As close as it is going to get!!!! | 01:24 |
| flaccid | lol, yeah perhaps. | 01:25 |
| sat_ | Max-P: thanks. i'll try. | 01:25 |
| NeoFax | Anyone here have cygwin experience? | 01:26 |
| sat_ | which is the best open source video chat available for ubuntu. | 01:26 |
| NeoFax | sat_: I say Skype and Kopete, but I can't get my webcam working, so you may want to ask others | 01:27 |
| flaccid | skype is not really open, but then again neither is the msn protocol. hmm | 01:27 |
| sat_ | NeoFax: i tried skype. i couldn't get it working. i'll try kopete.. | 01:27 |
| NeoFax | How about mounting your host drive in a virtualbox linux session? | 01:28 |
| sat_ | did anyone face port issue in ekiga | 01:28 |
| flaccid | RTP/XMPP is probably the best open source vide conferencing protocol | 01:30 |
| cowlikk | im back in here because ubuntu room is not helping | 01:42 |
| cowlikk | still there neofax | 01:43 |
| flaccid | whats the problem | 01:43 |
| cowlikk | when i log out and come back to log in i just get a peach screen and a mouse arrow and thats all that happens | 01:44 |
| flaccid | this is with kdm? | 01:45 |
| nosrednaekim | no..thats gdm | 01:45 |
| cowlikk | no with gnome | 01:45 |
| nosrednaekim | we cannot help then | 01:45 |
| flaccid | sorry kubuntu doesn't use gdm | 01:45 |
| cowlikk | so when i am in the peach screen and nothing happens i do ctrl+alt+f5 and do a ps ax and the last thing on that list is gnome-screensaver but the screen saver works fine when i am loged in correctly | 01:46 |
| flaccid | yeah we don't support gnome here sorry | 01:46 |
| cowlikk | ok thanks anyway | 01:47 |
| flaccid | i would help if i knew how but i aint used gnome for years | 01:47 |
| etfb | I'm getting a bit annoyed with Chatzilla and Konversation. Is there a clear frontrunner for Best IRC Client In KDE? | 01:47 |
| tehm0nk | how do i get the mouse to do Back Forward? | 01:47 |
| tehm0nk | without Binding it to ALT+left/Alt-right? | 01:48 |
| flaccid | konversation does fine at least for most users | 01:48 |
| tehm0nk | i was going to install a game on here and i was Hoping it would see the buttons as normal... | 01:48 |
| nosrednaekim | etfb: konversating? | 01:49 |
| etfb | flaccid: How do you set it to wordwrap? If I type a really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really long line, it doesn't wrap (or at least it didn't when I tried before - I'll be embarrassed if it does now). | 01:49 |
| etfb | flaccid: Hmmm... never mind, it's working now. Weird. | 01:50 |
| tehm0nk | is there a gui type mouse button binder? | 01:50 |
| etfb | flaccid: OK, I just need to figure out how to get it to stop with all the "[nick] has joined this channel" messages, and I'll be happy. | 01:50 |
| nosrednaekim | etfb: wraps for me | 01:51 |
| nosrednaekim | etfb: thats a setting in settings->configure konversation->chat window->hid part/join events | 01:51 |
| etfb | nosrednaekim: Yep, me too, now. I was SURE it didn't before. | 01:51 |
| nosrednaekim | etfb: it doesn't if it doesn't have a space in between, or is a link | 01:52 |
| etfb | nosrednaekim: I don't have that option, and I'm pretty sure I'm using the latest version. | 01:52 |
| * etfb checks his version number | 01:53 | |
| * etfb is using Konversation v1.0.1 | 01:53 | |
| adz21c | eftb: settings->configure konversation->behaviour->chat window->hide part/join/nick events | 01:53 |
| NeoFax | etfb: Why not create an ignore pattern if you don't have that setting? | 01:53 |
| adz21c | theres 2 chat windows in the config dialog | 01:54 |
| adz21c | caught me out | 01:54 |
| etfb | adz21c: Me too - what a stupid error for the designers to make. Ah well; fixed now. Thanks, all! | 01:54 |
| etfb | Hey, can someone /part and re/join the channel, just so I can be sure it's working? Paranoid, I know... | 01:55 |
| adz21c | etfb: just did | 01:56 |
| etfb | Excellent. Thank you! | 01:56 |
| adz21c | np | 01:56 |
| flaccid | etfb: sorry mate was afk. um check options. how did you go | 01:57 |
| flaccid | ah you already helped sweet as | 01:57 |
| etfb | I guess I can shoot Chatzilla through the head and dump its body in a shallow grave then. Konversation will do nicely. Thanks to you too, flaccid. | 01:57 |
| etfb | Now for something completely different... | 01:58 |
| flaccid | cool | 01:58 |
| etfb | Has anyone tried installing PHP4 (not 5) in Gutsy? I'd like to do it via apt, but it's not in the repositories. Any hints? | 01:58 |
| flaccid | this is a monty python free channel. j/k | 01:58 |
| etfb | flaccid: Well! I didn't expect the Span | 01:58 |
| etfb | +++ NO CARRIER | 01:58 |
| flaccid | etfb: just get the latest from php site, thats what i would do | 01:58 |
| flaccid | lol | 01:59 |
| flaccid | inquisition lol | 01:59 |
| Dragnslcr | So I guess I won't use .flac files on my audio player | 01:59 |
| Dragnslcr | 300+ MB for a single album | 01:59 |
| flaccid | use .flaccid instead they are cooler | 01:59 |
| Dragnslcr | Hehe | 01:59 |
| etfb | flaccid: Trouble is that it's not covered by the auto-update then. Also, I'm confused about the non-standard way Ubuntu installs Apache. | 01:59 |
| etfb | Is there a web page with Ubuntu-specific Apache info, stuff about how to configure it from source to match the standard install? | 02:00 |
| etfb | Hmmm... maybe our robotic friend knows... | 02:00 |
| etfb | !apache | 02:00 |
| flaccid | etfb: well if its not in a repos, then yeah it will be manual update. the implementation of apache in debian/ubuntu sux. i hate it and agree. | 02:00 |
| ubotu | 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+) | 02:00 |
| tehm0nk | !compiz | 02:01 |
| ubotu | Kubuntu is not shipping with compiz installed or enabled by default. You can still install it and have your eyecandy goodness. The instructions are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion - further help in #compiz-fusion | 02:01 |
| etfb | flaccid: I was hoping it was in a Feisty or Edgy repos, and I could get at it from there. Might be too much trouble though. | 02:01 |
| flaccid | there kind of is no standard apache install. if you want normal httpd.conf and none of the rest, re-do it or don't use the apache in repos - install manual/compile | 02:01 |
| flaccid | etfb: then it would have different deps which probably would not work | 02:02 |
| etfb | flaccid: You're probably right | 02:02 |
| * etfb sighs resignedly | 02:02 | |
| flaccid | yeah unfortunately i do this for a living lol. i use freebsd for web servers :) | 02:02 |
| etfb | flaccid: Ah yes, BSD... for people who hate that Gentoo is too mainstream now... | 02:03 |
| etfb | flaccid: I bet you won't listen to any band that's popular enough to be played on JJJ, right? | 02:03 |
| * etfb ducks and runs | 02:04 | |
| flaccid | lol, nah us bsd people don't get caught up in the bs. and yeah bsd kernel not linux kernel | 02:04 |
| flaccid | well my nickname is actually from a band frequently played on jjj - grinspoon. | 02:04 |
| tehm0nk | does Compiz Get along with Xinerama? | 02:05 |
| etfb | flaccid: Ah well, I might to a complete Apache install via apt, figure out where it puts things, then remove and redo it from sources to steal all the good ideas and dump the rest. | 02:05 |
| flaccid | tehm0nk: usually if you have enough vram. | 02:05 |
| etfb | flaccid: Hours of time-wasting ahoy! | 02:05 |
| tehm0nk | flaccid: i just tryied to enable it and my windows got all jacked up | 02:05 |
| etfb | Lunchtime and battery nearly depleted. Must go. Bye all. | 02:05 |
| flaccid | etfb: yeah thats debian/apache for you. i have 1 ubuntu server and i just adopted and used the sites-available/enabled system | 02:06 |
| flaccid | tehm0nk: #compiz-fusion might be able to help | 02:06 |
| flaccid | time to chop and make a coffee | 02:08 |
| tehm0nk | yeah they're no help there everyone is sleeping lol | 02:12 |
| flaccid | compiz fusion works ok when using xrandr, not sure on xinerama.. | 02:15 |
| blizzzek | gn8 | 02:40 |
| Downix_SPARC | man I hate configure script issues | 02:42 |
| awag | anyone here have an ipod working in amarok? | 02:43 |
| Downix_SPARC | awag: just say no! | 02:44 |
| cowlikk | can anyone in here help me with gnome | 02:44 |
| awag | to ipods? | 02:44 |
| cowlikk | the people in ubuntu room dont like me | 02:44 |
| flaccid | haha | 02:45 |
| flaccid | !ipod | 02:45 |
| awag | that is funny | 02:45 |
| awag | hmm nothing | 02:45 |
| cowlikk | thats ok i like kubuntu room better anyway | 02:45 |
| ubotu | For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod | 02:45 |
| awag | there we go | 02:45 |
| awag | yeah well, the thing is, I got it working | 02:45 |
| awag | and then something happened | 02:45 |
| flaccid | did you try #amarok | 02:45 |
| awag | yeah | 02:45 |
| awag | :( | 02:45 |
| flaccid | i would help but i dont have an ipd | 02:45 |
| awag | np | 02:46 |
| awag | i'll figure it out | 02:46 |
| tehm0nk | flaccid: do you use xrandr? | 02:49 |
| tehm0nk | Does it work with 2 Videocards? | 02:49 |
| flaccid | yeah and yeah | 02:50 |
| tehm0nk | can you help me with it? | 02:50 |
| bazhang | awag: you want to transfer music to your ipod from amarok? | 02:51 |
| awag | bazhang: yeah, and amarok was autodetecting my ipod, and letting me do whatever until today | 02:51 |
| bazhang | awag: you need to first open amarok, then connect your ipod--it will autodetect it once that happens | 02:52 |
| awag | bazhang: today I had a problem after i used a program (windows program mediamonkey i thin) on my friend's computer to try and upload some songs | 02:52 |
| tehm0nk | !xrandr | 02:52 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about xrandr - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 02:52 |
| awag | so i restored it via i-tunes | 02:52 |
| awag | and then i reedited the sysinfo file | 02:53 |
| awag | like i had done before | 02:53 |
| ardchoille | !info xrandr | tehm0nk | 02:53 |
| ubotu | tehm0nk: xrandr: X Rotation, Reflection and Resize utility. In component main, is optional. Version 1:1.2.2-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 23 kB, installed size 84 kB | 02:53 |
| awag | but now it own't show up in amarok | 02:53 |
| flaccid | tehm0nk: use xrandr -q to see what can do | 02:53 |
| bazhang | awag: oh, then that would be a windows issue; once you restored it via itunes now it no longer works--is that it? | 02:53 |
| awag | it shows up in every other program | 02:53 |
| flaccid | tehm0nk: if you google this stuff there is lots.. and probably on wiki somwhere | 02:53 |
| se7en | !kde4 | 02:53 |
| 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 | 02:53 |
| awag | bazhang: right, even though after the restore, i did the same things in i did to it to get it working the first time around | 02:53 |
| tehm0nk | But MOST of what i have been reading on it.... is for 1 videocard which... if i set mine up that way | 02:54 |
| tehm0nk | i'll have 1 screen. | 02:54 |
| bazhang | awag: so you want to transfer newer music to it? be sure amarok is open then connect it--if it is already connected it will likely not work | 02:54 |
| jamster545 | hello | 02:54 |
| bazhang | do you have a question jamster545? | 02:55 |
| jamster545 | yeah. how do i install a program from a .deb package?\ | 02:55 |
| bazhang | jamster545: which program? | 02:55 |
| ardchoille | jamster545: Which app? | 02:55 |
| jamster545 | AVG free edition | 02:56 |
| jamster545 | hello? | 02:57 |
| tehm0nk | Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". | 02:57 |
| bazhang | jamster545: are you running a mail server supporting windows computers? if not then clamav should do the trick, and that is even not really necessary itself | 02:57 |
| flaccid | maybe you are right tehm0nk | 02:57 |
| jamster545 | no i am not | 02:57 |
| awag | bazhang: not working :( when i did it exactly like this yesterday, it came right up | 02:57 |
| ardchoille | jamster545: You don't really need anti vuris for Linux | 02:57 |
| ardchoille | *virus | 02:58 |
| jamster545 | i need AVG installed because my school IT person said that in order for me to be allowed to connect to my home machine as a proxy i would need antivirus | 02:58 |
| tehm0nk | with Xrandr does it have a menu across both screens or just 1? | 02:58 |
| flaccid | tehm0nk: does only 1 card come up in xrandr -q or both? | 02:58 |
| tehm0nk | Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display ":0.0". | 02:58 |
| tehm0nk | that comes up... | 02:58 |
| flaccid | jamster545: is this on windows or linux? | 02:58 |
| ardchoille | jamster545: Does this IT person know you run Linux? | 02:58 |
| bazhang | awag: I have had that issue; quit amarok be sure your ipod is disconnected, restart amarok, then reconnect the ipod--closing the amarok window does not quit it by the way--be sure it is truly closed | 02:59 |
| flaccid | tehm0nk: i would google that. which version of ubuntu is this | 02:59 |
| jamster545 | yeah, but i stil want it because it is shared linux/windows machine so if something gets on the windows part it could migrate and transmit itsself | 02:59 |
| tehm0nk | kubuntu, 10.something | 02:59 |
| sat_ | i moved from xp to kubuntu. no issues of virus/adware. performance is much better. | 02:59 |
| greg | Jamster545: You've got AVG installed *wink* *wink*.. | 02:59 |
| bazhang | jamster545: thinkof kubuntu as AVG on steroids | 03:00 |
| stdin | jamster545: it can't migrate from windows to linux | 03:00 |
| jamster545 | i just want to be safe bcuz he is also my friend and he has been suspending kids for connect remote to their machines and getting viruses onto the server | 03:00 |
| tehm0nk | lol duh... Disable Xinerama... | 03:00 |
| tehm0nk | haha | 03:00 |
| ardchoille | jamster545: There aren't any active viruses for Linux and windows viruses don't work in Linux: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/10/06/linux_vs_windows_viruses/ | 03:00 |
| * BluesKaj has a commercial version of XP Pro with the TOL Symantec anti-everything loaded ...ok so far | 03:01 | |
| jamster545 | i know that but still... | 03:01 |
| tehm0nk | brb | 03:01 |
| jamster545 | THEN WHY WOULD THEY MAKE IT FOR LINUX ANYWAY THEN??? sorry 4 the caps | 03:01 |
| Downix_SPARC | bazhang: I took it one step further, Kubuntu on SPARC. | 03:01 |
| bazhang | jamster545: to spread fear uncertainty and doubt (fud). | 03:02 |
| bazhang | Downix_SPARC: wow that is nice | 03:02 |
| jamster545 | sun micro=ok solaris=crappy | 03:02 |
| Downix_SPARC | jamster545: Linux is used as a server in many cases, the scanner would be scanning incoming emails and traffic for the windows boxes behind it. | 03:02 |
| jamster545 | can you please just help me install the .deb? it contains two tarballs and a binary script | 03:02 |
| stdin | !deb | jamster545 | 03:03 |
| ubotu | jamster545: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility. | 03:03 |
| sat_ | ardchoille: thanks for the link. useful info. | 03:03 |
| Downix_SPARC | jamster545: you do dpkg -i *deb) | 03:03 |
| ardchoille | sat_: yw | 03:03 |
| jamster545 | i did and it opened Ark | 03:03 |
| flaccid | jamster545: probably for commercial purposes | 03:03 |
| jamster545 | i know that ubuntu is debian based | 03:03 |
| jamster545 | no it is a free edition for home use only | 03:03 |
| flaccid | just because it is free doesn't mean it is not commercial | 03:04 |
| stdin | jamster545: then try right-clicking and look in the menu, there should be a Kubuntu Installer menu | 03:04 |
| jamster545 | found it | 03:04 |
| jamster545 | kubuntu package menu>install | 03:04 |
| jamster545 | tyvm | 03:05 |
| flaccid | also if you have fat/ntfs paritions eg. multiboot you could run the av and get rid of viruses on the win partitions without booting into windows | 03:05 |

| Downix_SPARC | jamster545: Incidentally, Sun doessn't have a micro. I think you're considering the SPARC, which is an open standard CPU produced by Fujitsu, Texas Instruments, and Geisler | 03:05 |
| awag | bazhang: ok i did that a few times, still not working, can you tell me what you have as your pre-connect command and post-disconnect command in amarok? | 03:06 |
| Downix_SPARC | I love my new TI SPARC | 03:06 |
| flaccid | feel free to send me a sparc | 03:06 |
| awag | bazhang: i tried doing various mount and umount things that i found online for that.. not sure if this is the problem or not | 03:07 |
| awag | last time it just autodetected | 03:07 |
| bazhang | awag: you need to be sure that amarok is really and truly quit--it will leave an applet in the menu panel when you close the window--you need to right click--quit on that; then restart amarok--go to devices (left side panel of interface window, connect ipod via usb--the autodetect mechanism should then pick it up--not the kubuntu usb detection (another separate window), but the one within that devices panel | 03:10 |
| flaccid | can also do a killall amarokapp | 03:10 |
| flaccid | then check ps aux | grep amarok to see any childs/scripts left over | 03:10 |
| tehm0nk | ok | 03:11 |
| tehm0nk | xinerama is off now | 03:11 |
| awag | bazhang: ok i've been truly quiting amarok, but i've only been just unplugging my ipod from the cable, not the cable from the usb port, i'll try that | 03:11 |

| Coldwar55 | Has anyone tried the new 7.12 Catalyst driver? | 03:13 |
| flaccid | and boh cards are plugged in i assume, i guess one comes up because only 1 is in xorg.conf or maybe you can't do two cards xrandr sharing virtual ? | 03:13 |
| === zakame__ is now known as zakame | ||
| Downix_SPARC | got mmy last 2 for free | 03:14 |

| flaccid | yep i do that too bmk789 :) and good thing is that it does it auto/native on those monitors unlike winbl0ze | 03:16 |
| bmk789 | flaccid: yep :) | 03:16 |
| tehm0nk | so unless i run separate x screens, i can't use compiz, cause it freaks out if i use it with xinerama... | 03:16 |

| Coldwar55 | I see | 03:28 |
| ganjaman | you need to install some amd stuff | 03:28 |

| Coldwar55 | I guess I will wait for more posts to go around about 7.12 since it was only released today. | 03:29 |
| Downix_SPARC | heh | 03:29 |
| Coldwar55 | I'll stick with 7.11 for now. | 03:29 |
| BluesKaj | Coldwar55, try the restricted driver in system settings /advanced | 03:29 |
| ganjaman | ok its not supported, and i had to install and compile my drivers manualy | 03:30 |
| Coldwar55 | "If it ain't broke, why fix it" ^^ | 03:30 |
| ganjaman | because the beta driver supports the cuda, and i do some cudastic things¨ | 03:30 |
| Coldwar55 | hmm ok | 03:30 |
| Coldwar55 | Well | 03:30 |
| Coldwar55 | I've been wanting Decent Compiz/AIGLX support for some time now but that's still yet to come. | 03:30 |
| Coldwar55 | I mean the support is there, just the ability is horrible. | 03:31 |
| Coldwar55 | I went through quite a few hoops to get 7.11 working properly so I think I will wait instead of jumping to the new one. | 03:32 |
| nosrednaekim | Coldwar55: i'm planning on Dl it tonight and testing | 03:32 |
| ganjaman | i hope for linux kernels with included gfx drivers | 03:33 |
| ganjaman | so nobody has to care about a driver | 03:33 |

| mel | i just installed kubuntu and am wondering how to change the menu settings so that the whole path is NOT displayed? | 04:08 |
| ubotu | mel: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 04:08 |
| flaccid_ | which menu is this mel | 04:08 |
| mel | the system menu | 04:08 |
| flaccid_ | the menu with a K on it? | 04:09 |
| mel | right now it's not really usefol becasue of the looooooong descriptive text. I just want the app name and an icon | 04:09 |
| mel | yes, the L menu | 04:09 |
| flaccid_ | so take out the description suffix in the listing of items in the menu? | 04:10 |
| mel | there isn't enought room for the app name because "descriptive" mode is on (or something like this) | 04:10 |
| mel | there is a setting for that in KDE | 04:10 |
| flaccid_ | that can be changed, just trying to remember where | 04:10 |
| flaccid_ | ok you configure it in the kde panel | menus | 04:11 |
| flaccid_ | goto panel menu | configure panel | 04:11 |
| flaccid_ | you probably want Name only | 04:11 |

| kajsdklajsd | hello, how can i access the folder /Users/My Documents/ from a kubuntu livecd, i can see any other folder but some of the folders in /Users/My Documents/, is there anyway of jumping over the permissions? (sorry if this question is out of place) | 04:44 |
| flaccid | um is /Users on a hard disk in the computer, not the live cd? | 04:45 |
| kajsdklajsd | yes, /users is sda1 ntfs windows vista | 04:46 |
| kajsdklajsd | i want to backup | 04:46 |
| flaccid | learn how to mount with fstab | 04:46 |
| flaccid | !fstab | 04:46 |
| ubotu | The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 04:46 |
| flaccid | !ntfs | 04:46 |
| ubotu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 04:46 |
| kajsdklajsd | i already mounted, the problem is the windows vista permissions | 04:47 |
| kajsdklajsd | i mounted with ntfs-3g support | 04:47 |
| flaccid | how do you know that | 04:47 |
| kajsdklajsd | becouse i can see everything but some folders like My Documents | 04:47 |
| flaccid | what is the output of mount | grep sda1 | 04:47 |
| flaccid | they are encrypted, not sure how to unencrypt them. its when users say 'make this folder private' | 04:48 |
| kajsdklajsd | yes, that is | 04:48 |
| kajsdklajsd | must be some way out there | 04:48 |
| flaccid | ntfs-3g cannot decrypt those encrypted files. you need to go into windows if its still available and unencrypt them | 04:49 |
| kajsdklajsd | the so is unusable | 04:49 |
| kajsdklajsd | =(((( | 04:49 |
| kajsdklajsd | os* | 04:49 |
| flaccid | reinstall windows on it ie. do a reinstall not a new install | 04:50 |
| flaccid | or recover it or whatever | 04:50 |
| kajsdklajsd | the problem is that is an hp notebook and they do not give you vista dvd and the recovery tool is fucked up too | 04:50 |
| evjunior09 | Can someone help me run iTunes with WINE? I know i know, i hateee it! but my iPod Touch won't work untill it connects with iTunes. So I need it or i have 317.00 down the drain | 04:51 |
| flaccid | kajsdklajsd: contact HP. | 04:51 |
| kajsdklajsd | yes, i will finally end up doing that, but i hate so much those guys... | 04:52 |
| bazhang | kajsdklajsd: watch the language please | 04:52 |
| flaccid | ah well | 04:52 |
| bazhang | evjunior09: does not work with amarok? | 04:52 |
| kajsdklajsd | now i know that they ONLY support windows vista, so you can not install any other OS with support... | 04:52 |
| evjunior09 | bazhang: it will, but it needs to be activated by iTunes | 04:52 |
| kajsdklajsd | if you install linux they will tell you "we only help you if you have your computer with it's default os" | 04:53 |
| evjunior09 | it works with Windows XP also, but i don't have windows | 04:53 |
| flaccid | kajsdklajsd: they are doing the right thing. | 04:53 |
| bazhang | evjunior09: Aha--vendor lock-in :{ | 04:53 |
| kajsdklajsd | so i can not do what i want with my computer? | 04:53 |
| evjunior09 | Vendor Lock In?? | 04:53 |
| flaccid | kajsdklajsd: you can do what you want, it doesn't stop you from doing anything. they don't support linux. | 04:54 |
| kajsdklajsd | i have to do what they tell me to, and i spent 4.000 dollars | 04:54 |
| flaccid | you chose the vista notebook... | 04:54 |
| flaccid | not them | 04:54 |
| kajsdklajsd | yes but they dont tell you this when you buy it | 04:54 |
| flaccid | there are linux notebooks available and hp doesn't make them | 04:54 |
| kajsdklajsd | in my country there arent, dell only ships with vista | 04:54 |
| Downix_SPARC | kajsdklajsd: You should have done your homework. | 04:54 |
| flaccid | kajsdklajsd: they are not obliged to. | 04:54 |
| Dr_willis | I dont expect ANY support at all from any company.... :) | 04:54 |
| Downix_SPARC | flaccid: I have a SPARC laptop I've been eye'ing. | 04:55 |
| flaccid | kajsdklajsd: the point is you are trying to recover windows files. we support kubuntu here and hp supports vista... | 04:55 |
| Zombocom | I need help I have no sound | 04:55 |
| Zombocom | at all | 04:55 |
| evjunior09 | Kajsdklajsd: I have a Dell and it broke down after 2 years, they wouldnt give me any support or anything thats why im with Kubuntu, and im sooo glas i got it. | 04:55 |
| Zombocom | !sound | 04:55 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 04:55 |
| evjunior09 | bazhang: any help? | 04:55 |
| kajsdklajsd | i know flaccid, i'm not demanding anything here, just asking for friendly advice | 04:56 |
| Zombocom | that tip does not work for me | 04:56 |
| bazhang | evjunior09: do you have a friend with iTunes? otherwise wine with itunes seems to be it | 04:56 |
| evjunior09 | bazhang: I do, but than my iPod will be locked to their computer only | 04:56 |
| Zombocom | the sound system is enabled | 04:57 |
| Zombocom | if you're going to do wine with itunes | 04:57 |
| flaccid | kajsdklajsd: no problem. the problem here is the encryption. microsoft aint going to give that key/algorithm to the ntfs/fuse project... | 04:57 |
| Zombocom | I don't think it can be done | 04:57 |
| evjunior09 | bazhang: iTunes on WINE wont work? | 04:57 |
| bazhang | evjunior09: I see; then it is wine and itunes I guess- it stinks they dont have a linux client though | 04:57 |
| Zombocom | Will reconfiguring the Xserver allow me to get sound? | 04:58 |
| kajsdklajsd | ok, now i know that livecd is not the answer, thank you very much. | 04:58 |
| kajsdklajsd | good bye | 04:58 |
| bazhang | evjunior09: never tried it--though have heard of it working | 04:58 |
| Zombocom | wait | 04:59 |
| evjunior09 | bazhang: okay thanks. its installing crappy QuickTime so i can try iTunes | 04:59 |
| Zombocom | nevermind | 04:59 |
| bazhang | evjunior09: you can also check #winehq | 04:59 |
| evjunior09 | Does anyone else have the problem with WINE apps making your screen all black | 05:03 |

| flaccid | is that a grub error or from something else? | 05:11 |
| flaccid | is this after init ? | 05:11 |
| Doctor_Nick | grub error | 05:11 |
| flaccid | did you google the grub error to see what else to do | 05:11 |
| Doctor_Nick | yes | 05:12 |
| flaccid | you were running fsck off the livecd on the partition/fs ? | 05:20 |
| Doctor_Nick | yes | 05:21 |
| flaccid | what was the command you ran ? | 05:21 |
| flaccid | also please pastebin sudo fdisk -l | 05:21 |
| Doctor_Nick | flaccid: http://pastebin.ca/826443 | 05:24 |
| Doctor_Nick | i just ran fsck /dev/sda1 | 05:25 |
| flaccid | probably didn't do write mode | 05:25 |
| flaccid | lets have a look at man fsck | 05:26 |
| flaccid | try it with at least -aV | 05:27 |
| flaccid | and any other options you think are relevant in man fsck. if no luck then im not sure | 05:27 |
| Doctor_Nick | fsck checked out fine though, no errors | 05:28 |
| dwisen_ | can someone help me with a star menu problem | 05:29 |

| dwisen_ | start* | 05:29 |
| Doctor_Nick | is yours not booting also? | 05:29 |
| dwisen_ | after doing an update from Adept Manager i have noticed that not all of the programs are in my start menu | 05:30 |
| Sulo_Seppa | Well well, KDE4 will be in 8.04. And stdin didn't believe me :p | 05:30 |
| dwisen_ | is there an ap that will scan for programs and auto install them to my menu like in some other distros? | 05:31 |
| flaccid | Doctor_Nick: see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub/+bug/64928 and http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=ERROR+16:+Inconsistent+filesystem+structure+ubuntu&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 | 05:31 |
| etfb | I keep getting errors and missing documentation when I install KDE software. Can anyone point me to an explanation of how to set up KDE Help so it's not empty? | 05:32 |
| dwisen_ | hey thats another thing my search from start menu is gone | 05:32 |
| dwisen_ | i just noticed that | 05:32 |
| dwisen_ | what the hell is going on? | 05:33 |
| flaccid | don't know | 05:33 |
| flaccid | configure the panel and see if it comes back | 05:33 |
| dwisen_ | i installed some things from Adept and they did not show in my start menu aps such as ClamAv | 05:33 |
| dwisen_ | and now my search is gone too | 05:33 |
| dwisen_ | is there an auto menu updater for kubuntu? | 05:34 |
| flaccid | nope | 05:34 |
| flaccid | there is the menu editor and configure panel | 05:34 |
| dwisen_ | or like an ap search that will ad them to my menu? | 05:34 |
| dwisen_ | shyt | 05:34 |
| flaccid | not that i know of | 05:34 |
| dwisen_ | all manual? | 05:34 |
| flaccid | its usually the responsibility of the package to add the menu item iirc | 05:35 |
| dwisen_ | that needs to be changed,,,, i knew i should not have gotten rid of my slackware | 05:35 |
| dwisen_ | nothing but problems with kubuntu | 05:35 |
| flaccid | how would it be changed? | 05:35 |
| dwisen_ | what do you mean like missing items? | 05:35 |
| flaccid | you said it needs to be changed. what would you want changed. if you have missing items then its obvious you have a problem. normal users don't have missing items. | 05:36 |
| dwisen_ | i dunno i did an update with Adept and got some programs and they never added to my menu and now some are gone | 05:36 |
| dwisen_ | oh i said they need an auto menu updater like in slackware | 05:37 |
| flaccid | dwisen_: what is the name of it in slackware. its linux.. | 05:37 |
| dwisen_ | ummm | 05:37 |
| dwisen_ | i dont remember i only had to use it once | 05:37 |
| flaccid | i don't get how it would 'update' the menu. what would it be updating it from exactly? | 05:38 |
| dwisen_ | kappfinder | 05:38 |

| nickv111 | Hello, all. I just installed Gutsy on my computer. One of my goals was to get Compiz working. Anyway, after a lot of trouble, I got Xgl and Compiz working. However, the "cube" effect doesn't quite work the way I want it to. Instead of a cube, I have a piece of paper, with two desktops. Increasing the number of desktops I have doesn't help; if I have four desktops, 1 and 3 are just one side of the sheet of paper, and 2 and 4 are the | 05:43 |
| nickv111 | other. That is, they both serve as the same desktop. How can I make a cube like I intended? | 05:43 |
| flaccid | i have the same problem nickv111. no idea how to fix it... :( | 05:43 |
| flaccid | is that ati card by any chance? | 05:43 |
| nickv111 | flaccid: No, Nvidia | 05:43 |
| nickv111 | flaccid: Glad someone shares my troubles, at least. | 05:44 |
| nickv111 | flaccid: Though it is pissing me off. | 05:44 |
| flaccid | yeah i don't know why it does this. maybe #compiz-fusion can help | 05:44 |
| bazhang | nickv111: turn off wall in ccsm and turn on 3d cube and rotate cube | 05:44 |
| flaccid | yeah pisses me off bad.. | 05:44 |
| nickv111 | bazhang: That's not the problem. | 05:44 |
| nickv111 | bazhang: 3d cube and rotate cube are on | 05:44 |
| flaccid | really is that? | 05:44 |
| flaccid | it | 05:44 |
| nickv111 | bazhang: But I don't have a cube. I have a piece of paper. A piece of paper that I can rotate around. | 05:44 |
| dwisen_ | beryl? | 05:44 |
| nickv111 | Compiz | 05:45 |
| bazhang | nickv111: under general, increase number of virtual horizontal desktops to four | 05:45 |
| dwisen_ | oh Beryl is ALOT better | 05:45 |
| bazhang | ccsm--general | 05:45 |
| bazhang | nickv111: ccsm-general--those settings | 05:45 |
| flaccid | i will try that later, but yeah i never saw a cube only a 'piece of paper' | 05:46 |
| nickv111 | bazhang: Doesn't help. Like I said in my question, every time I increase it, they just alternate | 05:46 |
| bazhang | nickv111: that is the setting | 05:47 |
| nickv111 | Huh? | 05:47 |
| nickv111 | Also, when I use Desktop Wall, I can only get two desktops to function | 05:48 |
| nickv111 | Basically the same issue. | 05:48 |
| nickv111 | It's really, really annoying. | 05:48 |
| bazhang | nickv111: you are increasing the desktops in the wrong place, also turn off desktop wall; disabling and re-enabling compiz may help as well nividia card here and those precise things work fine | 05:49 |
| nickv111 | Where am I supposed to increase the desktops? | 05:49 |
| nickv111 | Under ccsm general, no? | 05:49 |
| nickv111 | Because that's where I'm increasing them. | 05:49 |
| nickv111 | And still, no luck. | 05:50 |
| flaccid | yep same behaviour for me | 05:50 |
| flaccid | iirc | 05:50 |
| nickv111 | So what am I supposed to do? | 05:51 |
| flaccid | you are not supposed to do anything but nag the compiz-fusion team | 05:51 |
| bazhang | ccsm--general--desktop size--horizontal virtual size=4 | 05:51 |
| nickv111 | bazhang: Aha! | 05:53 |
| nickv111 | bazhang: Wow, thanks! | 05:53 |
| nickv111 | bazhang: That actually worked. . . :) | 05:53 |
| nickv111 | bazhang: Thanks a lot, dude. | 05:53 |
| bazhang | no problem. | 05:53 |

| bazhang | no worries flaccid :} | 05:57 |
| earthsound | it keeps going back to absolute mode instead of staying in relative | 05:58 |
| bazhang | earthsound: you tried plugging it into a usb port on the computer, ie not through the monitor? | 05:58 |

| earthsound | on a side note, does anyone here use firefox? | 06:29 |
| earthsound | i'm having a problem w/ url bar search going to my dns server's search page | 06:29 |

| earthsound | i have my browser.search.defaulturl and keyword.URL set correctly | 06:31 |
| earthsound | but it still goes to the dns server's search page :| | 06:31 |

| flaccid | !doesntwork | xt828 | 06:40 |
| ubotu | xt828: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 06:40 |
| rohan | nixternal: maybe you can answer, if you are around ? :) | 06:42 |
| xt828 | sorry flaccid, was trying to wade through the samab docs | 06:43 |
| flaccid | im a samba junky how can i help | 06:44 |
| xt828 | i got to the part where i mount the windows share into a folder | 06:44 |
| flaccid | sweet | 06:44 |
| xt828 | and got errors that file_mode and dir_mode weren't expressed in octal, and that it couldn't find the target server | 06:44 |
| flaccid | how are you trying to mount it | 06:45 |
| xt828 | exactly as it says in the wiki | 06:45 |
| flaccid | which is | 06:45 |
| flaccid | fstab and then mount the share point? | 06:45 |
| xt828 | no fstab that i can see | 06:46 |
| flaccid | can you be specific otherwise i can't help you | 06:46 |
| flaccid | !samba | 06:46 |
| ubotu | samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT | 06:46 |
| * flaccid goes to look | 06:46 | |
| xt828 | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ComprehensiveSambaGuide is the link i followed | 06:47 |
| flaccid | use the link above ubotu advised | 06:47 |
| flaccid | the comprehensive guide is more for ubuntu samba server and samba admins, not mounting a windows smb share | 06:48 |
| xt828 | oh, okay | 06:48 |
| xt828 | i did have one question regarding the mounting part: | 06:48 |
| === sivaji is now known as ksivaji | ||
| flaccid | still, i need an error or unexpected behaviour otherwise i need telepathy which is not available yet | 06:48 |
| xt828 | when i give the location of the share, i'm specifying it as it is shared in windows, right? | 06:49 |
| flaccid | well no | 06:49 |
| flaccid | you use //server | 06:49 |
| flaccid | server will need to be resolvable by dns generally | 06:49 |
| flaccid | i mean //server/share | 06:49 |
| flaccid | if you can't ping server it probably won't work because you would need to set up NetBT | 06:50 |
| xt828 | but so if on the windows pc i have d:\videos shared as videos, i'd mount //winmachine/vidoes | 06:50 |
| flaccid | yes as long as winmachine is resolvable by dns eg. try ping winmachine on the ubuntu machine if it doesn't work you need to use IPs or setup DNS or NetBT | 06:51 |
| xt828 | okay, thanks | 06:52 |
| flaccid | np | 06:52 |
| fildo | np | 06:54 |
| bazhang | fildo: do you have a question? | 06:55 |
| flaccid | fildo: check the user | 06:59 |
| xt828 | erm, how do i put in the fstab entry if the shared folder has a space in the name? | 07:00 |
| xt828 | like, the target is //ipaddress/Downloads 2 | 07:00 |
| flaccid | thats a good question, i've never seen it done successfuly even though it is probably possible | 07:01 |
| flaccid | im not sure on that.. | 07:01 |
| flaccid | i change share name to no spaces, but google or #samba might be able to advise otherwise | 07:01 |
| xt828 | i'll probably just change the name then | 07:01 |
| xt828 | thanks | 07:01 |
| flaccid | coolio | 07:04 |
| flaccid | i might have to work it out soon because my linksys nas uses spaces for share names | 07:04 |
| flaccid | eg. //server/My\ Documents doesn't work | 07:05 |

| flaccid | oh sorry | 07:09 |
| fildo | nothing to be sorry about, im a newb in here | 07:09 |
| fildo | so its ok | 07:09 |
| flaccid | fair enough | 07:10 |
| fildo | man would it be fair to say windows vista is better then kubuntu ? | 07:10 |
| rohan | depends, fildo | 07:11 |
| rohan | on what your terms of comparison are | 07:11 |
| flaccid | thats a subjective question dependent on the audience | 07:11 |
| rohan | i like kubuntu better than xp better than vista | 07:11 |
| flaccid | i like to call it 'pista' | 07:11 |
| fildo | yeah windows users blow | 07:12 |
| rohan | pista is a nut :P | 07:12 |
| fildo | but i guess it depends on hardware and support sometimes | 07:12 |
| fildo | aswell | 07:12 |
| flaccid | this is true, but the problem there is usually vendors at the end of the day | 07:12 |

| flaccid | xt828: what is the name of the workgroup the windows machine(s) are on? | 08:27 |
| xt828 | MSHOME | 08:27 |
| xt828 | when I open up smb4k, they're all listed as the one workgroup | 08:27 |
| xt828 | oddly enough, i can access shares on the windows machines through it, but trying to access shares on my machine pops up a password dialog that won't accept my login info | 08:28 |
| flaccid | np | 08:28 |
| flaccid | 1sec | 08:28 |
| tuxwulf3 | bazhang > No, as FAT32 | 08:29 |
| Lynoure | If he just wants to format it, mkfs.vfat should do the trick. | 08:30 |
| bazhang | tuxwulf3: Lynoure and flaccid gave you some good advice--better listen to them :} | 08:31 |
| tuxwulf3 | bazhang > Ok, thanks! | 08:31 |
| flaccid | xt828: ok try this one: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49139/ . failing that you will need to do a user map like this in [global] : username map = /etc/samba/smbusers | 08:32 |

| flaccid | do a sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart | 08:38 |
| flaccid | you might wanna check as well with testparm | 08:38 |

| flaccid | oopsy doodle | 08:40 |
| flaccid | you could try this | 08:40 |
| flaccid | !sound | alvaro_ | 08:40 |
| ubotu | alvaro_: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 08:40 |
| alvaro_ | omg | 08:40 |
| Daisuke_Ido | flaccid: no dice, the a105 uses a chipset not supported by the current version of alsa. he's going to have to compile a fresh one. | 08:41 |
| flaccid | oh dang my bad | 08:41 |

| ZardoZ | Hi there, how can I harden my system up? | 08:50 |
| ZardoZ | I've recently been concerned with security | 08:50 |
| flaccid | alvaro_: pastebin the output of aplay -l . did you try to play a .wav with aplay ? | 08:50 |
| fildo | vote 1 for flaccid to get ops | 08:51 |
| fildo | haha | 08:51 |
| flaccid | ZardoZ: disable networking and lock the door | 08:51 |
| flaccid | pfft this is freenode br0 | 08:51 |
| alvaro_ | nope =S | 08:51 |
| ZardoZ | flaccid, heh practically | 08:51 |
| alvaro_ | how i can do it? | 08:51 |
| flaccid | ZardoZ: start with iptables. kubuntu no firewall by default. | 08:52 |
| flaccid | !iptables | ZardoZ | 08:52 |
| ubotu | ZardoZ: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 08:52 |
| alvaro_ | but i have kmix | 08:52 |
| fildo | !flaccid | 08:52 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about flaccid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:52 |
| fildo | well maybe ubotu should know something about flaccid | 08:52 |
| alvaro_ | mm | 08:53 |
| llutz | ZardoZ: use only services you really need, configure them right and keep your system uptodate. no need for any "firewall" then | 08:53 |
| alvaro_ | i can download aplay? | 08:53 |
| flaccid | alvaro_: try something like: file /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav; aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Left.wav | 08:53 |
| ZardoZ | llutz, yeah | 08:53 |
| fildo | how many of you guys are running kde4 | 08:53 |
| alvaro_ | ok | 08:53 |
| bazhang | ZardoZ: true, what they all have said--this is not windows :} | 08:53 |
| ZardoZ | bazhang, indeed | 08:53 |
| flaccid | firewall reduces packet overhead processing | 08:53 |
| llutz | bazhang: it's the same in win | 08:53 |
| ZardoZ | whats a good net proxy? | 08:54 |
| ZardoZ | for surfing and such | 08:54 |
| flaccid | !squid | 08:54 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about squid - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:54 |

| alvaro_ | i try late | 08:55 |
| alvaro_ | tnx | 08:55 |
| alvaro_ | Bytes | 08:55 |
| bazhang | llutz: security is good in windows? | 08:55 |
| llutz | bazhang: nope, but it's not that worse anybody claims. most are user-faults | 08:55 |
| llutz | bazhang: it needs, like every system, careful systemconfiguration | 08:56 |
| bazhang | llutz: hmm. I tend to disagree with you there. | 08:56 |
| llutz | bazhang: feel free :) | 08:57 |
| ZardoZ | nifty proxy tools | 08:57 |
| ZardoZ | does anyone else here use squid? | 08:58 |
| bazhang | llutz: okay! :} | 08:58 |
| llutz | bazhang: it's just my experience with some dozen win-installations since win 3.0 | 08:59 |
| bazhang | llutz: we agree to disagree--too many bad experiences with windows here :} | 09:00 |
| ZardoZ | llutz, im with bazhang, i just cant use a windows system seriously anymore | 09:01 |
| bazhang | llutz: though you do have a point if referring to xp--when set up properly--but this is waaaay offtopic--sorry :} | 09:03 |
| llutz | bazhang: NT was the same thingy | 09:04 |
| bazhang | llutz: very true | 09:04 |
| llutz | but to come back to topic, it makes more sense to configure your linux-system carefully, than to trust into another peace of software (aka firewall) to make you feel save | 09:06 |
| ZardoZ | llutz, yeah | 09:06 |
| llutz | i hereby don't say iptables is senseless, but not first choice (imo) | 09:07 |
| luca | ciaooo | 09:13 |

| luca | hi! | 09:14 |

| ActionParsnip | hi all | 09:20 |
| ActionParsnip | has anyone got any interesting firefox tweaks? | 09:29 |
| Lynoure | Like? Half of the extensions are interesting :) | 09:29 |

| ActionParsnip | like gui tweaks, css edits etc | 09:35 |
| ActionParsnip | i'm tweaking to the max | 09:35 |
| romunov | isn't scp command suppose to show progress of file copy? | 09:42 |
| llutz | romunov: try scp -v | 09:43 |
| ActionParsnip | cp -g (?) | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-460045.html?sid=fbc59e4c0cb42430ff5cbc7aaa506739 | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | its gentoo but it should still apply | 09:45 |
| llutz | ActionParsnip: scp is something different | 09:46 |
| ActionParsnip | llutz, aah i see (just googled) | 09:47 |
| Lynoure | romunov: yes, but much of the time it's just too fast, so nothing really shows :) | 09:47 |
| intelikey | i have an issue caused by the fact that the ubuntu kernel demands an initramfs.img it seems that the initramfs uses udev and i do not, that means that all the device nodes are gone; errr well misplaced into /dev/.static/dev/ what's the best way to put them back into /dev upon boot ? | 09:48 |
| romunov | hum, i have aproblem with mysql | 09:50 |
| romunov | i ssh to a server and enter mysql | 09:50 |
| romunov | but it won't accept any of my commands | 09:50 |
| romunov | for example "show databases" will just give me a new line that starts with "->" | 09:50 |
| romunov | what do i do? | 09:51 |
| llutz | show databases; | 09:51 |
| boguh | hi, i just installed kde4 and all i get when i start it is a grey background and a klipper icon | 09:52 |
| ActionParsnip | boguh, do you get a mouse cursor? | 09:54 |
| intelikey | ummm i'll try cp -ua /dev/.static/dev / in an init script. | 09:55 |
| boguh | ActionParsnip yes i do | 09:56 |
| [ifr0g] | WHy did they ever change kbluetooth now it sucks more.. | 09:56 |
| ActionParsnip | boguh, if you right click can you run a konsole? | 09:57 |
| boguh | ActionParsnip i get a menu, but did not try to run a konsole | 09:57 |
| ActionParsnip | boguh, i'd get one up and rename you ~/.kde to ~/.kde_old then reboot | 09:58 |
| ActionParsnip | boguh, this will give you a fresh kde profile when you next boot | 10:00 |
| boguh | ActionParsnip can i put export KDEHOME=~/.kde4 to /usr/lib/kde4/bin/startkde ? | 10:00 |
| ActionParsnip | boguh, not sure what that does. I'd rename anything in ~/ named kde or kde4 or whatever to _old and reboot. You can always roll it back if it does nothing | 10:01 |
| intelikey | hmm ok. cp -ua worked. simple enough. | 10:01 |
| FSHero | Hi everyone: I'm trying to load a .odt document, but OpenOffice stalls after seemingly opening it. I can see text. I think it might be because there are pictures in it which are from the internet. | 10:02 |

| FSHero | Wait - I did it! | 10:03 |

| white_eagle | is it possible | 10:13 |

| intelikey | who knows where the adjustment for thumbnail sizes is, for konqueror ? | 10:26 |
| vasilisa | makes no sense, who wants to have 3 gigs of their drive space commondeered to thumbnails!? | 10:26 |

| ActionParsnip | vasilisa, cheers. I'll add make a cron job a bit later :) | 10:28 |
| vasilisa | do what | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | !cron | vasilisa | 10:29 |
| ubotu | vasilisa: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm | 10:29 |
| uakkeri | to get rid of this frequent crash report. to get rid of nonexisting nspluginviewer | 10:29 |
| vasilisa | oh okay | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | vasilisa, to remove the thumbs once every hour | 10:29 |
| vasilisa | ActionParsnip: that sounds kind of .... backdoor. id rather simply restrict the thumb directory | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | vasilisa, will thumbs still get created when it is "full" | 10:30 |
| vasilisa | it just seems like duct tape to me.... | 10:30 |

| night_3 | hello | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | intelikey, what was the question? | 10:44 |
| intelikey | <romunov> how can i disable shit+ctrl+backspace? <<<< | 10:44 |
| night_3 | can u? | 10:44 |
| night_3 | but why would you do that? | 10:45 |
| intelikey | i think the k-hotkeys can take care of that, it's not an xorg thing, it's a kde thang | 10:45 |
| romunov | you need to edit a file | 10:45 |
| romunov | i'm still looking where its location is :> | 10:45 |

| romunov | type "man xmodmap" | 10:46 |
| intelikey | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=350813 <<< talks about the ctrl+alt+bs but also says that it's not for ctrl+shift+bs | 10:46 |
| intelikey | and i just tested xorg, ctrl+shift+bs is not recognized by x so it has to be a kde hotkey | 10:47 |
| intelikey | s/recognized/captured/ | 10:47 |
| intelikey | romunov what i'm saying is that you need to look closely at those instructions they are not for ctrl+shift+bs but rather for ctrl+alt+bs which is an xorg hotkey and not controled by kde | 10:49 |
| romunov | xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace BackSpace Terminate_Server" removes the shift+ctrl+bs | 10:49 |
| romunov | hopefully this is perminant now :> | 10:50 |

| ActionParsnip | usr002, you need to be a bit more exact | 12:14 |
| ActionParsnip | romunov, hows it going? | 12:14 |
| romunov | it turns out i can't go into kde session and run compiz --replace | 12:16 |

| romunov | and i can't logout and log back in to do this | 12:16 |

| romunov | i have two sticks, and they run at different speeds (i've already ordered 1gb in one stick) | 12:21 |
| Downix_SPARC | romunov: I didn't ask about your RAM, but your VR | 12:22 |
| Downix_SPARC | romunov: your swap file, in other words | 12:22 |
| tzd | hey guys & gals! Is it possible to run, say Kubuntu, winxp & another distribution of Linux such as red hat? IF yes, is there anything I should think of before I proceed installing? | 12:22 |
| Downix_SPARC | usr002: I have an x86_64 here, not impressed with it in comparison to my other 64-bit. | 12:22 |

| Downix_SPARC | tzd: Yes, but why limit yourself? I have Kubuntu, CentOS, XP, AROS and Amithlon on this machine | 12:23 |

| Downix_SPARC | romunov: is gimp open? | 12:23 |
| romunov | no | 12:23 |
| ActionParsnip | tzd, I'd install xp and leave the remaining space unallocated | 12:24 |
| tzd | Downix_SPARC: i like the way you think ;) I just don't want to mess things up since I've got my lovely kubuntu running as it should by now and I also have winxp installed... | 12:24 |
| romunov | let me try to replicate this - fresh boot and run a gimp | 12:24 |
| romunov | brb | 12:24 |
| tzd | ActionParsnip: i have xp installed and kubuntu installed... now i would like to add another linux dist. | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | tzd: then add OSs but leave unallocated space until you have allyour systems you want | 12:24 |
| Downix_SPARC | romunov: Sounds like GIMP on loading might be maxing out RAM, causing a swap fetch, but you'd be swapping while reading the HD... is your swap drive on the same physical HD as your main drive? | 12:24 |
| Downix_SPARC | tzd: Have you ever tried QEMU? | 12:25 |
| ActionParsnip | tzd: could always have a host OS and run virtual boxes | 12:25 |
| tzd | ActionParsnip: i was thinking of deleting an unused ntfs partition and install a linux dist. on that one... the issue i have though is the bootloader... will it work? now im asked every time i boot up if i want to run kubuntu or winxp (using grub) | 12:26 |
| Downix_SPARC | usr002: it's not an AMD vs Intel thing, it's that they put a 64-bit extention onto a 32-bit extention onto a 16-bit extention of an 8-bit CPU | 12:26 |
| tzd | Downix_SPARC: no, never hear of... will look into it now though :) | 12:26 |
| Downix_SPARC | tzd: Just takes learning it. | 12:27 |
| ActionParsnip | tzd: you may have to configure grub but it should be ok. Just backup your data incase anyhing happens | 12:27 |
| tzd | Downix_SPARC: ok ;) | 12:27 |
| tzd | ActionParsnip: hmm ok... but do all linux distr. use the same bootloader? and how do i make backups of the boot data? | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | tzd: they use lilo or grub usually | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | tzd: i meant back up your images / music / porn / whatever | 12:28 |
| tzd | ActionParsnip: aha ;) Oh well they are all on NTFS partitions that i won't touch... at least not yet ;) | 12:29 |
| tzd | ActionParsnip: wont lilo and grub be in conflict if i use both? | 12:29 |

| ActionParsnip | sourcemaker, are you up to date with updates? | 12:31 |
| sourcemaker | I can't.... because the WLAN is not working... | 12:32 |

| ActionParsnip | sourcemaker, can you get a wired connection | 12:32 |
| ActionParsnip | sourcemaker, what wireless device do you have | 12:32 |
| sourcemaker | well... I can disable the wlan key... maybe than it is working | 12:32 |
| ActionParsnip | i your pc | 12:32 |
| sourcemaker | It's a cheep wlan card... but in feisty... everthink was working fine | 12:33 |
| tzd | ActionParsnip: yes but isn't there a command to make it all go away in case I mess up? :D I tried installing linux 1 year ago and yes i messed up somewhere with the boot sector... i think i wrote something that defaulted the boot sector so that i could boot up again | 12:33 |
| ActionParsnip | sourcemaker, what make / model is it? | 12:33 |
| usr002 | ok | 12:33 |

| Kohlrabi | <usr002> open quake not running | ? | 12:33 |
| Downix_SPARC | usr002: Do you have DLX installed? | 12:33 |

| ActionParsnip | sourcemaker, is it a usb dongle or an internal device? | 12:34 |
| tzd | Downix_SPARC: hmm sounds complicated... how do i do that? | 12:34 |
| sourcemaker | But why does the complete systems freeze?Crashing the application or module is ok... but system freeze..It is a internal device | 12:34 |
| ActionParsnip | sourcemaker, not sure but we'll find out | 12:35 |

| gp | how cann i revert back | 14:35 |
| Downix | gonzalo: You don't. Sound drivers are part of the kernel itself, you don't "install" them for-se. What drivers do you need? | 14:37 |
| Downix | gp: what is the x error? | 14:37 |
| gp | there was a error commiting pakages , possiblily there was downloadinh or commit would break | 14:37 |

| gp | Nvidia gforce 8400M | 14:45 |
| GSF1200S_ | not sure if thats the new driver or the beta driver... | 14:46 |
| Downix | gp: try this first: sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic | 14:46 |
| gp | ok ran it successfully no error msg | 14:47 |
| gp | Downix: whats next | 14:49 |
| Downix | gp: one sec, looking up the exact | 14:49 |
| Downix | ok, I was mistaken, it's not nvidia-restricted, it's nvidia-glx | 14:49 |
| GSF1200S_ | you sure it covers the 8400? | 14:50 |
| Downix | no, not sure | 14:50 |
| Downix | trying to find out which nvidia one covers what | 14:50 |
| Downix | I have nvidia-glx for mine, but it's a 6100 | 14:50 |
| GSF1200S_ | yeah, glx-new here and im on a 7600 | 14:51 |
| gp | i am on Nvidia gforce 8400M | 14:51 |
| gp | i think before update i was running nvidia-glx but now on nvidia-glx-new | 14:52 |
| Downix | ok, glx will work | 14:53 |
| Downix | glx-new has some issues I'm reading | 14:53 |

| Lynoure | GSF1200S_: there is, already... | 14:55 |
| GSF1200S_ | really | 14:55 |
| Downix | Lynoure: Nothing complete at this time. OpenGraphics is nowhere near being even a 1988 VGA controller yet. | 14:56 |
| Lynoure | Downix: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source_hardware#Computers_and_Computer_Components | 14:56 |
| Downix | GSF1200S_: I'm pondering opening up my own design ideas, but trying to sort out patent issues. | 14:56 |
| GSF1200S_ | cool... itd be awesome to open the ideas and have everyone have access to develop it | 14:57 |
| Downix | Lynoure: plenty of CPU's, no GPU's in that list tho. I have most of the tools. | 14:57 |
| GSF1200S_ | then, simply sell them at a cost that covers cost, you know? | 14:57 |
| Downix | GSF1200S_: the issue I have is in patents, I based my design on an older one, and need to be sure everything is on the up and up | 14:57 |
| Lynoure | Downix: No, did not claim there was, just that there is open source hardware already | 14:57 |
| Downix | Lynoure: Plenty of it, I work with the Leon SPARC for my own projects, beautiful chip | 14:58 |
| Downix | was one of the core members of F-CPU for a few years | 14:58 |
| Downix | Lynoure: but no GPU at this time, sad to say | 15:00 |
| Lynoure | Downix: unfortunately I don't have the skills to fix that. | 15:01 |
| tzd | ActionParsnip: my FF theme syndrome was due to the KDE desktop setting... you were right ofc ;) Thanks mate! | 15:02 |
| romunov | is the httpd.conf (apache2) file suppose to have only one line "ServerName localhost"? | 15:02 |
| Downix | Lynoure: Most of what's needed is input, honestly. People say "oh, I want a GPU" then can't actually express what they need it to do. | 15:03 |
| Downix | Lynoure: Example, my own (now 10 years under development) design. It's technically complete, but design wise uninspiring. | 15:03 |
| Lynoure | romunov: pastebin your config, if you have trouble with it, makes it easier to troubleshoot | 15:04 |
| romunov | well that's it | 15:05 |
| romunov | there's nothing to pastebin | 15:05 |
| romunov | ServerName localhost is everything there is in that file | 15:05 |
| romunov | i've searched my /etc/apache2 directory for my IP and changed all 3 files that i found to "localhost" | 15:08 |
| romunov | ip -> localhost | 15:08 |
| romunov | when i go to localhost and click on a directory, it still wants to go to my ip | 15:09 |
| romunov | i've restarted the server inbetween | 15:09 |
| romunov | perhaps my router is causing trouble | 15:09 |
| Dr_willis | well if its going to localhost, 127.0.0.1 - Then it shouldent even be going out to the router. | 15:10 |
| Dr_willis | but im not an apache expert. | 15:10 |
| benjamin | hi, what I have to to if kde is not starting automaticly. I have to start it manualy with "startx" | 15:10 |
| Dr_willis | benjamin, sounds like kdm or gdm is not starting. you could try a 'dpkg-reconfigure kdm' for a start. | 15:10 |
| Dr_willis | then try a 'sudo kdm' | 15:10 |
| Lynoure | romunov: sounds more like your hosts file having something wronig with it. | 15:10 |
| Lynoure | s/wronig/wrong | 15:11 |
| benjamin | Dr_willis: oky thanks I try | 15:11 |
| Dr_willis | if kdm works that way. well it would seem that the kdm service is not getting loaded at boot. | 15:11 |
| romunov | Lynoure: what do you suggest i do? | 15:11 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy all : ) | 15:11 |
| Lynoure | romunov: I would not suggest anything without seeing the /etc/hosts or/and apache configs... | 15:12 |
| Lynoure | I don't like working blind when there is no reason for it :) | 15:12 |
| romunov | lemme see if there's anything in the /etc/hosts | 15:13 |
| romunov | hum, i don't have "/etc/hosts" | 15:14 |
| romunov | oops, i do | 15:14 |
| romunov | it's not a directory but a file | 15:14 |
| romunov | <- newb | 15:14 |
| Lynoure | romunov: it's normally a file. Try less /etc/hosts | 15:15 |
| romunov | i find kate or nano quite handy | 15:15 |
| romunov | this is the /etc/hosts | 15:15 |
| romunov | http://pastebin.com/d5fa92aff | 15:15 |
| Lynoure | romunov: whichever you prefer. :) | 15:15 |
| romunov | i use nano for "simple" edits and kate for root changes | 15:16 |
| Lynoure | romunov: no edit needed, looked fine | 15:17 |
| erick | hi | 15:18 |
| romunov | lemme see if there's anything in the apache2.conf | 15:18 |
| romunov | hum, nothing special | 15:19 |
| NetSKaVeN | hell-o! | 15:25 |
| Dr_willis | so when you go to http://localhost/ - it changes to http://Your.ip.address ? | 15:26 |
| Dr_willis | Im not sure that having 127.0.0.1 for both Localhost and your machinename is proper. but im, behind a router here.. so my machine ip is a local lan ip. | 15:27 |

| shadowhywind | does anyone know of a way to Nuke/wipe a usb harddrive? | 15:29 |
| llutz | shadowhywind: shred | 15:29 |
| romunov | Dr_willis: when i go to localhost i can see the directory structure, but when i click on the directory (my page), it wants to go to my IP | 15:29 |
| shadowhywind | llutz will that work on the entire harddrive or just on files? | 15:30 |
| llutz | shadowhywind: on entire disks too | 15:30 |
| Dr_willis | romunov, Hmm.. well its working here if i go to http://localhost/mythweb/ it seems to be using 127.0.0.1 | 15:30 |
| BluesKaj | shadowhywind, delete the files then reformat , some drives will reformat to nyfs then back to fat32 or 16 | 15:30 |
| llutz | shadowhywind: i just did it a few days ago :) | 15:30 |

| Lynoure | looks normal. | 15:41 |
| Lynoure | romunov: The symptom was that when you type http://localhost you get to http://yourpublicip instead of localhost? It does sound like apache binds to the public ip... | 15:42 |
| romunov | solved! | 15:44 |

| romunov | i had to fiddle with wordpress database to set the homepage from http://IP/niphargus to http://localhost/niphargus | 15:45 |
| romunov | looks like wordpress (installed in the directory that i was trying to reach) was overriding the apache settings | 15:45 |
| romunov | and since i couldn't enter wordpress i had to use the back door and go straight to the db | 15:46 |
| Lynoure | lesson of the story might be: always start with a simplest possible url. :) | 15:46 |

| Minataku | If you don't have that level of knowledge/skill, then just reinstall | 16:19 |

| adz21c | ostlund: good stuff | 16:19 |
| ostlund | adz21c: but still dont understand why | 16:19 |
| Minataku | Note that first link there | 16:19 |
| Paddy_EIRE | arielle, install kopete using apt-get | 16:19 |
| Minataku | You'll need it after reinstalling Windows | 16:19 |
| ostlund | adz21c: anyway, thanks | 16:20 |
| Minataku | Because Windows is a dick and just rewrites the MBR without asking | 16:20 |
| adz21c | ostlund: i don't know, i sometimes get issues with contacts lingering about in kopete, i delete them, log into offical client, come back to kopete and they are back | 16:20 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Minataku, yeah thats never nice.. | 16:20 |

| BluesKaj | phoenixz, pls explain "exactly" wht you are trying to do ? | 16:22 |
| Minataku | Ah | 16:22 |
| Minataku | That might be a problem, Ryiel | 16:22 |
| Minataku | Ryiel: Those USB dongles tend to be quite proprietary | 16:22 |
| Minataku | Especially wireless ones | 16:22 |
| Ryiel | :( | 16:22 |
| Minataku | If it didn't work when you plugged it in, it may never work. | 16:23 |
| Ryiel | oh, it should work as plug and play? | 16:23 |
| Paddy_EIRE | Ryiel, whats the brand | 16:23 |
| Paddy_EIRE | chipset even | 16:23 |
| Ryiel | good question... | 16:23 |
| Paddy_EIRE | :/ | 16:23 |
| phoenixz | BluesKaj, well, very simple.. I have a Dell latitude D620 laptop. Like most other laptops, it has an external VGA connector where I can connect another display. With the Fn F8 key combination, I should be able to switch between these displays. Problem is, none of that works, and I have not found any method of configuration in KDE for this.. | 16:23 |
| arielle | didn't work | 16:23 |
| Minataku | USB ones, yes | 16:24 |
| Ryiel | usd-irda y-160 thats all... | 16:24 |
| Minataku | If there's a driver for it, it should autoprobe the module | 16:24 |
| arielle | hello arielle | 16:24 |
| Minataku | Check that it is indeed working | 16:24 |
| arielle | here | 16:24 |
| Minataku | If it made a device node for it, then it's ready to go | 16:24 |

| BluesKaj | phoenixz, got that ? | 16:25 |
| Ryiel | Minataku: shouldnt there popup something that new device or something? | 16:25 |
| Ryiel | how can i test it? | 16:25 |
| phoenixz | !Xinerama | 16:25 |

| phoenixz | BluesKaj, gottit yeah, thanks! | 16:25 |
| Minataku | Check if it made a device entry for it | 16:25 |
| Ryiel | kinfocenter says nothing | 16:25 |
| Minataku | Open up Konsole and type "dmesg | tail" | 16:25 |
| Ryiel | it doesnt see it | 16:25 |
| Minataku | Oh | 16:25 |
| Minataku | Okay, then it's not working | 16:25 |
| Minataku | lol | 16:26 |
| Minataku | I do things without a GUI, so I forget that there are GUI ways to do things | 16:26 |
| bazhang | haha | 16:26 |
| Ryiel | Minataku: dmesg tail sees it | 16:26 |
| LjL | arielle: yes? | 16:26 |
| Ryiel | let me pastebin it | 16:26 |
| Minataku | Ryiel: Okay | 16:26 |
| BluesKaj | phoenixz, i hope you find your answer , if not there are ppl here that are quite knowledgable about your task other than me :) | 16:27 |
| Ryiel | Minataku: http://rafb.net/p/SzjAfX15.html | 16:27 |
| Minataku | Oh, okay, it's all working, supposedly | 16:27 |
| Minataku | It should be accessible via /dev/irda0 | 16:27 |
| Ryiel | oh... | 16:28 |
| BluesKaj | Minataku=purist! | 16:28 |
| Minataku | You'll likely need access to r/w to the device node | 16:28 |
| Minataku | BluesKaj: The pure way was the one that worked | 16:28 |
| Minataku | So there | 16:28 |

| Minataku | IRDA is already running | 16:30 |
| Minataku | Likely it was all put into place when you first plugged the thing in | 16:30 |

| romunov | oh man, my kubuntu has gone from terribly slow to i wanna kill myself | 19:49 |
| romunov | installing compiz wasn't the best idea so far | 19:49 |
| romunov | any ideas how can i revert back to "default" settings? | 19:49 |
| romunov | i've already uninstalled compiz.. i think | 19:49 |
| ardchoille | romunov: You want to stop using compiz? | 19:49 |
| skarface | reverse whatever guide you followed? ;) | 19:49 |
| romunov | yes, it's clogging up my pc | 19:49 |
| ardchoille | romunov: Are you using compiz right now? | 19:50 |
| romunov | i've uninstalled it | 19:50 |

| snarkster | hi how do i configure knetworkmanager to see my ndiswrapper wifi card? | 19:59 |
| zidgel | I am new to linux and just loaded kubuntu. I am trying to share a folder to the network, but it tells me that I need to load SMB & NFS. How do I go about doing that? | 20:01 |
| snarkster | apt-ger install samba* | 20:01 |
| lg188 | hello | 20:01 |
| snarkster | sorry apt-get install samba* | 20:01 |
| snarkster | that will grab all the smb packages you need | 20:02 |
| zidgel | Doesn't samba just load the SMB only? | 20:02 |
| mschiff | why do current kde4 packages not set KDEHOME to .kde4 anymore? | 20:02 |
| mschiff | zidgel: samba is mostly for windows shares, nfs mostly for unix shares | 20:03 |
| snarkster | man this networkmanager thing is very confusing | 20:04 |
| zidgel | Thanks for explaining that mschiff | 20:04 |
| sigma_ | whats the easiest way to install kde4 if you need to download the packages off a windows machine via internet explorer? | 20:04 |
| snarkster | just download the packages to a cd or zip drive type of thing and then dpkg -i them | 20:05 |
| zidgel | I just ran samba and it came back with 0 newly installed, 0 upgraded. Is this alright? | 20:05 |
| sigma_ | snarkster: where can i get a list of packages? possibly one that i can right click and say "save target as" to download | 20:05 |
| devinus | snarkster: did you try to enable the restricted drivers in the restricted drivers manager? | 20:06 |
| devinus | snarkster: also, try going to /etc/network/interfaces and commenting out everything, and restarting knetworkmanager | 20:06 |
| mschiff | devinus: I would not comment aut lo entries.. | 20:09 |
| devinus | right. don't comment the lo interface | 20:09 |
| mschiff | The bad thing is that if you use the "configure manually" thing from knetworkamanager and use knetconf pops up | 20:10 |
| mschiff | to use a static adress | 20:10 |
| mschiff | you cannot revert this in the gui | 20:11 |
| mschiff | only chance is to edit /etc/network/interfaces and remove the entries there... | 20:11 |

| mempman | uh..the base of alsa? | 21:09 |
| mempman | yeah the driver i guess | 21:09 |
| crimsun | cat /proc/asound/version | 21:09 |
| mempman | sweet | 21:09 |
| mempman | let me give that a shot | 21:09 |
| ax1s | jussi01: I am recreating the bug now.. also checking out how to file it properly.. thx | 21:10 |
| crimsun | note that is not "alsa-base" | 21:10 |
| crimsun | "alsa-base" is a package and has nothing to do with the driver itself, which may or may not be included with linux-image | 21:10 |
| mempman | hmm | 21:10 |
| mempman | what does this package consist of? | 21:10 |
| jussi01 | mempman: perhaps if you tell us what you want it for then we wil know what you need? | 21:10 |
| jussi01 | ax1s: great | 21:11 |
| crimsun | mempman: blacklist files and the old initscript. | 21:11 |
| mempman | okay, well since i installed kubuntu, i have had no sound, its was very strange because | 21:11 |
| crimsun | (the "alsa-base" package does not have anything to do with your sound driver.) | 21:11 |
| jussi01 | mempman: which card? | 21:11 |
| mempman | the sound card of my laptop was detected, but i just didn't have any output, this was due to a known bug with nvidia chipset mcp51, so i read on a post somewhere that i should upgrade my alsa-base to version 1.0.15 from 1.0.14 | 21:12 |
| crimsun | mempman: then you're looking at the wrong package. You need to install linux-backports-modules-$(uname -r) if you're using gutsy. | 21:12 |
| OrionFyre | mempman, when i boot of hte live cd i get no sound until i plug in headphones, then there is sound wether they remain plugged or not... give it a shot. | 21:12 |
| mempman | i went into Adept and uninstalled alsa-base 1.0.14, and i downloaded and installed alsa-base 1.0.15 and now i have sound.. | 21:12 |
| crimsun | there is no such thing as alsa-base 1.0.15, mempman. | 21:13 |
| coverer | hallo | 21:13 |
| mempman | guys, the exact name of what i installed last night is "linux-sound-base_1.0.15-3_all.deb" | 21:13 |
| crimsun | mempman: that's a Debian package generated from the alsa-driver source. | 21:13 |
| mempman | i installed the pacakge above after uninstalling alsa-base via adept, and now i have sound | 21:14 |
| crimsun | that alone will not magically make things work. | 21:14 |
| mempman | well, i haven't changed anything else at all and now i have sound | 21:14 |
| mempman | ?? im clueless | 21:14 |
| crimsun | look at the version of your sound driver. `cat /proc/asound/version` | 21:14 |
| SpookyET | hi | 21:15 |
| mempman | Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.14 (Thu May 31 09:03:25 2007 UTC). | 21:15 |
| SpookyET | I need an easy script that enables/disables Internet Connection Sharing. Messing with IPTables is complicated and Firestarter does not work | 21:15 |
| crimsun | mempman: now look at your mixer output. | 21:15 |
| crimsun | linux-sound-base and alsa-base are packages that do not affect your sound driver _at all_. | 21:15 |
| jussi01 | !iptables | 21:15 |
| ubotu | Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). | 21:15 |
| mempman | crimsun: everything looks the same | 21:16 |
| crimsun | mempman: I doubt it's the same. | 21:16 |
| jussi01 | SpookyET: try guarddog | 21:16 |
| === Timmy is now known as TimS | ||
| mempman | guys, i haven't changed anything other than uninstalled alsa-base and installed linux-sound-base_1.0.15-3_all.deb | 21:16 |
| mempman | crimsun: what exactly is the alsa-base package? | 21:17 |
| girolamo | !italiano | 21:17 |
| ubotu | Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 21:17 |
| crimsun | mempman: it really does not at all matter which version of linux-sound-base or alsa-base you have installed. | 21:17 |
| OrionFyre | neither do i when all i do is plug in and unplug my headphones to get sound :-) | 21:17 |
| SpookyET | jussi01: I just need 2 scripts. One to enable connectino sharing. one to disable | 21:17 |
| crimsun | mempman: it provides a blacklist and the old (deprecated) alsa initscript. | 21:17 |
| mempman | but according to many posts that i have read, people have posted the contrary. | 21:18 |
| mempman | let me get some get some links | 21:18 |
| MGalaxy | Hello, I wanna plug 2 ADSL ethernet modems to 1 hub (switch), but only one of them works, any solution? | 21:18 |
| mempman | http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=69076 | 21:18 |
| coverer | тест | 21:18 |
| fannagoganna | you need a router to allocate local IP addresses | 21:18 |
| mempman | crimsun: i guess ther is a bug with my specfic chipset | 21:19 |
| crimsun | mempman: that post does not reference "linux-sound-base" at all. | 21:19 |
| mempman | NVidia http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=69076 | 21:19 |
| crimsun | mempman: I've just read that entire thread. Nothing references the package you mention. | 21:20 |
| mempman | crimsun: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?p=868053 | 21:20 |
| crimsun | mempman: nothing there references "linux-sound-base" either. | 21:20 |
| MGalaxy | fannagoganna: u addressed me? | 21:21 |
| fannagoganna | yes | 21:21 |
| fannagoganna | you need a router to allocate and route traffic | 21:21 |
| fannagoganna | a hub just provides a physical path for the wired traffic | 21:22 |
| mempman | crimsun: so i guess the following package "linux-sound-base_1.0.15-3_all.deb" must not be alsa-base | 21:22 |
| crimsun | mempman: ... of course it's not. Look at the name of the file. :) | 21:23 |
| mempman | crimsun: so what exactly is in that package, i would guess that its alsa-base, alsa-driver and a lot more stuff | 21:24 |
| mempman | hence "all" | 21:24 |
| crimsun | mempman: no, it's a list of modules. Either it's the blacklist for OSS/Free or for ALSA. | 21:24 |
| crimsun | mempman: the alsa-base package will set a symlink to the proper blacklist depending on what you configure. In *ubuntu, we blacklist OSS/Free by default and just use ALSA. | 21:25 |
| crimsun | mempman: seriously, I've maintained these packages for *ubuntu for upwards of a couple years. | 21:26 |
| MGalaxy | fannagoganna: but my modems allocate their own IPs and they have different IPs (192.168.1.7 & 192.168.1.254), I think they have own router in theirs, dont they? | 21:26 |
| mempman | crimsun: so what excatly did i do when i installed that package? | 21:26 |
| crimsun | mempman: nothing related to what you think you did, apparently :) | 21:26 |
| mempman | yeah, but sound is working for me now | 21:27 |
| mempman | crimsun: honestly, i have not changed anything else at all!!!! | 21:27 |
| crimsun | mempman: _you_ didn't have to change anything. I'm positive a program adjusted a mixer element. | 21:27 |
| mempman | that is very interesting........ | 21:27 |
| crimsun | seriously, nothing in the linux-sound-base package touches anything related to your active sound driver. | 21:28 |
| crimsun | if you don't believe me, see the output from `dpkg -L linux-sound-base` and read each file. | 21:28 |
| mempman | when you say "linux-sound-base" and "alsa-base" , are you refering to the same thing? | 21:28 |
| crimsun | no, I am not. | 21:28 |
| mempman | what is the difference? | 21:29 |
| crimsun | linux-sound-base and alsa-base are completely different packages. | 21:29 |
| crimsun | (the only thing in common is that they are both generated from the alsa-driver source package.) | 21:29 |
| * jussi01 hugs crimsun | 21:29 | |
| mempman | what do you mean generated from same source package? | 21:30 |
| MGalaxy | fannagoganna: but my modems allocate their own IPs and they have different IPs (192.168.1.7 & 192.168.1.254), I think they have own router in theirs, dont they? | 21:30 |
| crimsun | mempman: your *buntu installation is comprised of various binary packages [e.g., linux-sound-base, linux-image-$(uname -r), ...] | 21:30 |
| fannagoganna | i don't think so | 21:30 |
| mempman | yes | 21:31 |
| fannagoganna | u need special hardware to allocate IP addresses. How did these modems get their own IP's? | 21:31 |
| fannagoganna | the IP address is usually 192.168.0.1 | 21:31 |
| crimsun | mempman: each of those binary packages has a source package (for the majority, just source code, not compiled form - for compiled languages) | 21:31 |
| crimsun | mempman: if you look at `apt-cache showsrc alsa-driver|grep ^Bin`, you'll note that the alsa-driver source package generates several binary packages | 21:32 |
| mempman | crimsun: the above command didn't turn anything up | 21:33 |
| crimsun | mempman: do you have an active deb-src line for main? | 21:33 |
| crimsun | crimsun@Box:~$ apt-cache showsrc alsa-driver|grep ^Bin | 21:33 |
| crimsun | Binary: alsa-base, alsa-source, linux-sound-base | 21:33 |
| mempman | it didn't do anything for me once again | 21:34 |
| mempman | no output whatsoever | 21:34 |
| MGalaxy | fannagoganna: my LAN IP is 192.168.1.1 and the default gate way is 192.168.1.254 which is ADSL Modem IP, but when I want to connect to another ADSL Modem from another PC in the network, It fails | 21:34 |
| crimsun | mempman: did you check /etc/apt/sources.list for an active deb-src line for main? | 21:34 |
| mempman | crimsun, i don't know exactly what you mean by active deb-src | 21:34 |
| mempman | wait | 21:35 |
| mempman | sorry | 21:35 |
| mempman | yes i didn | 21:35 |

| crimsun | mempman: so the answer to my question is "no." | 21:37 |
| crimsun | mempman: that's the straightforward explanation for why you don't have any output for that apt-cache command | 21:37 |
| crimsun | mempman: we can bypass your local configuration and look at how it's done on the Ubuntu build infrastructure. Take a look at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/1.0.14-1ubuntu2/+build/403321 | 21:38 |
| crimsun | mempman: in the top left pane, look at "Resulting binaries" | 21:39 |
| mempman | crimsun: | 21:39 |
| mempman | alsa-base 1.0.14-1ubuntu2 | 21:39 |
| mempman | alsa-source 1.0.14-1ubuntu2 | 21:39 |
| mempman | linux-sound-base 1.0.14-1ubuntu2 | 21:39 |
| crimsun | mempman: yes. You can drill down further to see precisely what files are in each binary package. | 21:39 |
| alfonso | join azzurra | 21:40 |
| mempman | crimsun: is there a simple howto i can read and figure out exactly what is going on | 21:41 |
| crimsun | mempman: what do you mean by "what is going on"? | 21:41 |
| mempman | cause i swear, i changed nothing but installed the linx-base-sound pacakage | 21:41 |
| mempman | i haven't installed any program that may change my mixer settings | 21:42 |
| mempman | and now i have sound | 21:42 |
| crimsun | mempman: your installing that package is a red herring, plain and simple. | 21:42 |
| crimsun | mempman: further, you don't need to have installed _anything_. Any audio program is capable of fiddling with your mixer settings. | 21:42 |
| mempman | crimsun: this is a post that discusses the bug with my audio chipset | 21:43 |
| mempman | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/77024 | 21:43 |
| mempman | crimsun: im back | 21:46 |
| mempman | crimsun: did you get a chance to check that post out? | 21:46 |
| crimsun | mempman: yes, I know that bug. I'm "Daniel T Chen". | 21:46 |

| mneisen | david__: That's normal. | 22:08 |
| david__ | eh? Shouldn't is say kubuntu? | 22:09 |
| david__ | mneisen & | 22:09 |
| nosrednaekim | david__: no... it uses the ubuntu kernel package | 22:09 |
| mneisen | david__: You may want to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to reflect your preferences. | 22:09 |
| david__ | mneisen, I know how to do that but never realised from days gone by that kubuntu said ubuntu on grub. thx | 22:09 |
| mneisen | david__: you are welcome. | 22:10 |
| david__ | mneisen - btw I'm glad to be back on k. I gave gnome a good year. don't like it;) cya | 22:10 |
| nosrednaekim | mneisen: can you boot one of the older kernels? | 22:11 |
| romunov | hi. i had to reinstall kubuntu, and during the installation, i unplugged the backup drive - to prevent any hickups i might cause. anyways, i've installed kubuntu and i can't see the drive... do i have to mount it? | 22:11 |
| mneisen | nosrednaekim: No, because the new kernel package has replaces the old one. | 22:11 |
| mneisen | nosrednaekim: it was only a minor change, so no new grub entry was generated. | 22:11 |
| nosrednaekim | romunov: look for it in systemsettings->advanced->disks and partitions | 22:11 |
| nosrednaekim | mneisen: that stinks... does recovery mode work? | 22:12 |
| mneisen | no, stops at the same point. only takes a little longer ... :-) | 22:12 |
| nosrednaekim | whats the exact message? | 22:13 |
| crookshanks | what are the 'proposed' and 'updates' repositories for? | 22:13 |
| crookshanks | ah, found the wiki page that explains | 22:15 |
| romunov | nosrednaekim: i guess i have to reboot now that i've enabled it at startup? | 22:16 |
| mneisen | nosrednaekim: I would have to reboot and write it down. | 22:16 |
| mneisen | nosrednaekim: Could take a little while. | 22:16 |

| cloneyin_ | can you do that? | 22:54 |
| wolf0129 | i also have a friend who is running kubuntu but can not get online with it | 22:56 |
| wolf0129 | i have applied the IP address | 22:56 |
| wolf0129 | but it does not recognize the connection | 22:57 |
| wolf0129 | what else can i try | 22:57 |
| ere4si | wolf0129, is it wireless? | 22:57 |

| mith__ | hello all! :) | 23:00 |
| kub^ | wolf0129: whats the address of the network gateway ? | 23:00 |
| wolf0129 | hcpd i think | 23:00 |
| kub^ | wolf0129: it will be something like 192.168.0.254 or 192.168.0.1 | 23:01 |
| wolf0129 | the later looks right | 23:02 |
| kub^ | wolf0129: ok so what IP did you give the kubuntu machine ? | 23:02 |
| wolf0129 | the assigned address from isp | 23:02 |
| wolf0129 | but i pulled the ip address from his windows tower | 23:03 |
| kub^ | wolf0129: i take it you have a dsl router connecting to the internet ? | 23:04 |
| wolf0129 | yes | 23:04 |
| kub^ | wolf0129: ok then what IP did you borrow from the windows box ? | 23:04 |
| wolf0129 | kub^ i am not familliar with his system i told him i would look for suggestions | 23:06 |
| kub^ | wolf0129: ok mate you shouldnt use the IP from the windows machine coz it will cause a conflict, if the windows box is running get him to do an "ipconfig /all" from the command line and tell you the default gateway and host IP | 23:08 |
| wolf0129 | k | 23:08 |
| kub^ | wolf0129: then you need to give the linux box an IP on the same network eg windows = 192.168.0.10 then make linux 192.168.0.11 with netmask 255.255.255.0 and set the default gateway as the one from the windows machine | 23:09 |
