| pierre__ | hi | 00:14 |
| numpy | hi | 00:14 |
| pierre__ | could anyone help me ? | 00:14 |
| pierre__ | I just installed kubuntu 7.10 (I'm beginner with linux) | 00:14 |
| pierre__ | and I can't download anything with adept because I got an error | 00:15 |
| pierre__ | ==> | 00:15 |
| pierre__ | There was an error committing changes. | 00:15 |
| pierre__ | Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. | 00:15 |
| pierre__ | and none of the solutions I found on the web worked | 00:15 |
| unix_infidel | pierre__: try using apt-get or aptitude. | 00:15 |
| unix_infidel | aptitude install [package name] | 00:16 |
| pierre__ | ok thanks | 00:16 |
| claydoh | yes, using apt-get or aptitiude will at least give a better error message | 00:16 |
| Silouck | Riddell: ping | 00:17 |
| Riddell | hi Silouck | 00:17 |
| unix_infidel | pierre__: you issue those commands in a terminal like aterm, xterm or whatever. | 00:18 |
| unix_infidel | just like in windows with cmd.exe | 00:18 |
| pierre__ | Possibly there was a problem downloading some packages or the commit would break packages. | 00:19 |
| pierre__ | oups | 00:19 |
| pierre__ | I tried | 00:19 |
| pierre__ | apt-get install chemtool | 00:19 |
| pierre__ | it told me: | 00:19 |
| pierre__ | E: Unable to open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock -open -13 permission denied) | 00:20 |
| unix_infidel | sudo apt-get install chemtool | 00:20 |
| unix_infidel | then enter your password when it asks for it. | 00:20 |
| pierre__ | E: Unable to lock the administation directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root ? | 00:20 |
| pierre__ | another error: | 00:20 |
| pierre__ | it dont ask me my password | 00:21 |
| intelikey | what doesn't ? | 00:21 |
| unix_infidel | intelikey: sudo. | 00:21 |
| unix_infidel | pierre__: that's fine, it should install then. | 00:21 |
| dm | Hello. Can anyone tell me how to compile a kernel module? I get "linux/config.h: No such file or directory" ... | 00:22 |
| pierre__ | E: Unable to lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock -open (11 Resource temporaril unavailable) | 00:22 |
| dm | ... on 7.10 with default kernel | 00:22 |
| intelikey | sudo will not ask the password if you have just used sudo and the timmer hasn't expired yet, and not at all if you are in the sudo group | 00:22 |
| pierre__ | E: Unable to lock the administation directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it ? | 00:22 |
| unix_infidel | pierre__: you need to quit adept first. | 00:23 |
| ardchoille | pierre__: Close any other package managers you have open | 00:23 |
| _Angelus_ | what would you recomand as a good program to install a virtual os? vmware qemu or virtualbox? | 00:23 |
| pierre__ | oh | 00:23 |
| intelikey | info for pierre__ ^ | 00:23 |
| pierre__ | ok... but is there a way to fix adept ? | 00:23 |
| dm | _Angelus_: qemu is easy, vmware is fast | 00:23 |
| _Angelus_ | on my pc vmware is slow :/ | 00:23 |
| intelikey | qemu is easy but doesn't work for the one thing i installed it for | 00:23 |
| _Angelus_ | for what? | 00:24 |
| _Angelus_ | i want to play mmorpg games | 00:24 |
| claydoh | pierre__: make sure you don't have adept open while you try apt-get | 00:24 |
| pierre__ | ok apt-get is working when I close adept | 00:24 |
| pierre__ | but I'd prefer adept to the konsole :/ | 00:25 |
| intelikey | you'll get over that. | 00:25 |
| claydoh | I do as well, until there are problems | 00:25 |
| pierre__ | and how do I get a list of available packages with the console ? | 00:26 |
| _Angelus_ | hmm | 00:26 |
| claydoh | thats where a gui helps over the cli | 00:26 |
| pierre__ | ^ | 00:26 |
| pierre__ | ^^ | 00:26 |
| dm | pierre__: with aptitude | 00:26 |
| _Angelus_ | does qemu become faster then vmware when using full virtualization of the kqemu kernel module? | 00:26 |
| intelikey | apt-cache search <something here> | 00:26 |
| dm | _Angelus_: I don't think so | 00:27 |
| sebby | hi | 00:27 |
| pierre__ | ok | 00:27 |
| intelikey | dm or dselect ;/ | 00:27 |
| sebby | how can i set my apt get to list all the softfare wich can be downloded for eg i won to have gcc and a list of ircds | 00:28 |
| pierre__ | now adept works...lol | 00:29 |
| intelikey | apt-cache search <something here> details can be displayed with apt-cache show blah | 00:29 |
| intelikey | apt-cache search ^gcc wild cards and regex are nice... | 00:30 |
| sebby | how can i find all apt get`s commands | 00:32 |
| CheGuevara | man apt-get | 00:32 |
| sebby | i foud for eg gcc with command wich u said | 00:32 |
| sebby | but now i have to get it | 00:33 |
| sebby | thx | 00:33 |
| intelikey | man man | 00:34 |
| intelikey | sebby you probably want build-essential | 00:35 |

| rredd4 | intelikey, ty | 00:44 |
| intelikey | rredd4 fdisk -l or cat /proc/partitions either might reviel the device node name. and the mount point is arbitrarry | 00:44 |
| intelikey | rredd4 also unplug/replug and dmesg might show the device node name. | 00:45 |
| intelikey | food for thought ^ | 00:46 |
| rredd4 | ty | 00:47 |
| rredd4 | intelikey, mount point is /media/KODAK | 00:49 |
| intelikey | rredd4 as i said that is arbitrary | 00:50 |
| intelikey | it's totally at your own discretion. | 00:50 |

| jumpkic1 | "_: Entries in K-menu:" ... yuck | 00:55 |
| ardchoille | jumpkic1: What did you expect, kde4 and hardy are both beta atm. | 00:55 |
| jumpkic1 | ardchoille: I expected that KDE4 would at least be installed / installable... I didn't expect it to work pefectly | 00:55 |
| jumpkic1 | it's not even installable | 00:56 |
| ardchoille | Ah, ok | 00:56 |
| intelikey | ardchoille hardy is already beta ? | 00:56 |
| jumpkic1 | alpha2 | 00:56 |
| intelikey | i was thinking... | 00:56 |
| ardchoille | intelikey: Has hardy been released as stable yet? | 00:56 |
| intelikey | ardchoille not even as beta yet. | 00:57 |
| jumpkic1 | new kernel detects my Nv680 sound card, that's good at least | 00:57 |
| ardchoille | intelikey: Ah, good point :) | 00:57 |
| jumpkic1 | kmix is all messed, but it was all messed in Gusty too | 00:57 |
| jumpkic1 | as far as volume control | 00:57 |
| * claydoh has had better luck with kde4 in gutsy at this point | 00:57 | |
| claydoh | at this stage, hardy has a lot of changes very often | 00:58 |
| claydoh | which is prob why kde4 is often uninstallable | 00:58 |
| jumpkic1 | claydoh, I hear ya... I wanted to install hardy because Phorienx said pulse audio was the default sound server | 00:58 |
| jumpkic1 | which is not true | 00:58 |
| ardchoille | claydoh: Good point, any OS will have problem while it's still in the creation/tuning process. | 00:59 |
| claydoh | lol | 00:59 |
| jumpkic1 | it's installable, but not the default | 00:59 |

| tolecnal | dm: did you get your config.h matter resolved? | 01:03 |
| intelikey | claydoh then debian should work fine. both were based on it, so basicly anything they can do it can do | 01:03 |

| claydoh | fluxbuntu install is overheating the thing tho :) | 01:04 |
| jumpkic1 | control panels' broken missing libpython2.5.so... | 01:04 |
| jumpkic1 | time to go back to gutsy | 01:04 |
| jumpkic1 | hardy is a mess | 01:04 |
| claydoh | debian is too much work :) | 01:04 |
| intelikey | in a rudamental conception of course. | 01:04 |
| claydoh | puppy/dsl just plain work :) | 01:04 |
| [ka]killer | lol, im sticking with gutsy till hardy gets all the kinks worked out xD | 01:05 |
| tolecnal | dm: having the same issue here, and it turns out after a google search that the 2.6 kernels don't use config.h. a source suggested just doing a 'touch config.h' inside the /usr/src/linux directory, but that didn't work for me. | 01:05 |
| claydoh | I did a full gentoo on the thing a few years back | 01:05 |

| jumpkic1 | oh | 01:06 |
| Jack3 | whats the difference between the kubuntu 7.10 dvd and cd? | 01:06 |
| intelikey | jack3 the dvd obviously won't boot on a cd drive and has more packages/options | 01:07 |
| senorpedro | man kde4 sucks.... | 01:09 |
| senorpedro | everything changed | 01:10 |
| intelikey | behold: it sucketh! sayth he. | 01:10 |
| senorpedro | sucketh...sucks...whatever, its worse than kde3 | 01:11 |
| intelikey | i like kde3 but there are a lot of things about kde3 that i don't like. ;/ | 01:12 |
| jumpkic1 | same | 01:12 |
| senorpedro | yes me too | 01:12 |
| jumpkic1 | how does one fix kmilo? | 01:12 |
| jumpkic1 | volume 0 - 11 on the OSD, not in anyway related to kmix | 01:13 |
| jumpkic1 | very strange | 01:13 |
| intelikey | i have found one thing that i don't like about blackbox "no context menus" i could probably add them but i'm too lazy | 01:13 |
| tolecnal | dm: hmmm, with the module I tried to install, uncommenting out the #include <linux/config.h> in all the source files worked nicely | 01:14 |
| Dragnslcr | I think KDE4 will be good, but I really don't think it deserves to be called a Release Candidate yet | 01:14 |
| tolecnal | though, why they would ship module source packages that fail to compile without manual edits to the source files is beyond me | 01:15 |
| jumpkic1 | Dragnslcr: I agree | 01:16 |
| jumpkic1 | there's little chance this will release on Jan 11 from what I've seen of it | 01:16 |
| jumpkic1 | it needs 6 more months | 01:16 |
| intelikey | it probably will | 01:17 |
| Dragnslcr | It might, but it won't be as bug-free as it should be | 01:17 |
| Dragnslcr | I think 4.0.1 will follow pretty quickly | 01:17 |
| intelikey | they will release it just for the sake of saying "new version is out" like ubuntu has done a time or two. | 01:17 |
| jumpkic1 | intelikey: that's a pretty dumb way to do it, people will upgrade to it and get very pissed off | 01:18 |
| intelikey | jumpkic1 yes. and your point is ? | 01:18 |
| jumpkic1 | they are better off to keep calling it alpha | 01:18 |
| intelikey | oh you don't like change for the sake of change either ? | 01:18 |
| jumpkic1 | I'm all for change for its own sake, but not if your going to piss off a large user base | 01:19 |
| jumpkic1 | it will be very discouraging to recieve that much bad feedback | 01:19 |
| intelikey | well i'm not for change for it's own sake. i'm only for change when it is useful. | 01:20 |
| * intelikey is an "if it aint broke, then don't fix it!" kinda guy. | 01:21 | |
| jumpkic1 | it will be useful, but it won't out way the downside in this case | 01:21 |
| jumpkic1 | the new stuff they add won't make up for all the broken shit that goes with it | 01:21 |
| intelikey | zactly | 01:22 |
| Dragnslcr | I just hope they get rid of that ridiculous K Menu | 01:22 |

| intelikey | yeah in x/kde there is gui way and xset -b i think in the console you can black list pcspkr module | 01:29 |
| claydoh | in system settings, under Notifications I think | 01:29 |
| claydoh | err maybe not | 01:30 |
| sourcemaker | no... without using kde... on the default linux prompt | 01:30 |

| sourcemaker | intelikey: ok | 01:31 |
| intelikey | you can echo -e '\a' all day if the pcspkr module is not inserted you wont hear a thing | 01:32 |
| intelikey | sourcemaker no need to reboot you know. just sudo modprobe -r pcspkr | 01:34 |

| rredd4 | how do i get my minimize, maximize and close (X) buttons back, they are missing when i open any window, they are missing. | 02:27 |
| Dragnslcr | Are you using compiz? | 02:28 |
| rredd4 | yes | 02:28 |
| Dragnslcr | And emerald? | 02:28 |
| === ForeverZero is now known as sea4ever | ||
| rredd4 | looking | 02:28 |
| rredd4 | can't seem to find emerald | 02:29 |
| rredd4 | looking in ccfm | 02:29 |
| Dragnslcr | Effects -> Window Decoration -> Command | 02:30 |
| rredd4 | command line is empty | 02:31 |
| Dragnslcr | If you minimize and restore the window, do the buttons come back? | 02:32 |
| rredd4 | no minimize buttons to click on | 02:32 |
| Dragnslcr | You can minimize and restore by clicking the taskbar item | 02:33 |
| rredd4 | yes that works, how do i restore the button? | 02:34 |
| Dragnslcr | Is it just the buttons, or is the entire window border missing? | 02:34 |
| rredd4 | entire border | 02:35 |
| Dragnslcr | Ah | 02:35 |
| rredd4 | cannot see the name of the window | 02:35 |
| Dragnslcr | Do you have an nVidia card? | 02:35 |
| rredd4 | or move the window, if it was smaller | 02:35 |
| rredd4 | yes | 02:35 |
| rredd4 | geforce 2 | 02:35 |
| * intelikey has kde running in a window before... | 02:36 | |
| Dragnslcr | Is a GF2 even capable of running compiz? | 02:36 |
| intelikey | rredd4 alt+click/drag doesn't move the window ? | 02:36 |
| rredd4 | intelikey yes | 02:36 |
| etfb | !compiz > me | 02:37 |
| rredd4 | the buttons were there a while ago, not there now | 02:37 |
| intelikey | heh then undo what you changed lol | 02:37 |
| rredd4 | i was mounting the sd card | 02:37 |
| intelikey | sorry couldn't resist. | 02:37 |
| rredd4 | thats it | 02:37 |
| Chemicalvamp | how do i change my 1280x800 booting splash screen to 1024x768? | 02:38 |
| Dragnslcr | There's a specific option that usually fixes the missing borders, but I can't remember offhand what it is | 02:38 |
| nosrednaekim | !usplash | 02:39 |
| ubotu | To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork | 02:39 |
| intelikey | Chemicalvamp ummm the vga= to 791 ? | 02:39 |
| rredd4 | Dragnslcr oops geforce 2 is laptop, sorry geforce 4 | 02:39 |
| Chemicalvamp | huh? | 02:39 |
| intelikey | Chemicalvamp in the /boot/grub/menu.lst | 02:39 |
| Dragnslcr | <<FusioBot>> To fix your compiz window decorations (titlebars) with an nVidia graphics card, run « sudo nvidia-xconfig --add-argb-glx-visuals -d 24 », then restart !X. | 02:39 |
| Chemicalvamp | its ubuntu not grub | 02:39 |
| Dragnslcr | Could try that, rredd4 | 02:39 |
| rredd4 | ok | 02:40 |
| Chemicalvamp | i installed it on a computer that has a res of 1280x800 | 02:40 |
| Chemicalvamp | and moved the harddrive into another laptop with 1024x768 so now my boot screen is really offest | 02:40 |
| rredd4 | brb | 02:41 |
| ganjamaniac | heh | 02:41 |
| intelikey | Chemicalvamp boot splash is kernel frame buffer controlled by the vga= in the grub menu.lst | 02:41 |
| Chemicalvamp | so it should be what again? 791 | 02:41 |
| ganjamaniac | i have a problem with my 3dfx graphic card, wine doesn't regconize it | 02:41 |
| intelikey | Chemicalvamp if you are talking about xorg then it's not a boot issue. and the answer is sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -plow | 02:41 |
| ganjamaniac | is there a way to add glide to wine? | 02:42 |
| rredd4 | Dragnslcr that did it.. ! | 02:42 |
| Dragnslcr | Nice | 02:42 |
| rredd4 | Dragnslcr what exactly did if do? | 02:42 |
| rredd4 | if=it | 02:42 |
| ganjamaniac | i have a few hempy games from the past, and i would like to play them, stuff like pandemonium o | 02:43 |
| Dragnslcr | I think it has to do with the bit depth of something. Not sure exactly what | 02:43 |
| ganjamaniac | r unreal | 02:43 |
| rredd4 | it works... ty | 02:43 |
| Dragnslcr | No prob | 02:43 |
| Alchera | Joyeux Noël | 02:44 |
| rredd4 | unable to find the solution in google.. | 02:44 |
| intelikey | ganjamaniac maybe #winehq or is it #wine-hq | 02:45 |
| ganjamaniac | jej | 02:45 |
| ganjamaniac | heh | 02:45 |
| ganjamaniac | what the heck is sysfs? | 02:45 |
| intelikey | i would assume and acromyn for system file system | 02:46 |
| ganjamaniac | someday gnome and kde goes to knode | 02:46 |
| etfb | Wow, Compiz seems to be totally broken. I just installed it, and all my KDE task bar menus and window widgets are broken, messed up or just gone. Is this really supposed to be used with Kubuntu? Has anyone used it successfully? | 02:47 |
| etfb | Also: what | 02:47 |
| intelikey | grep sysfs /proc/filesystems | 02:47 |
| etfb | Also: what's with not including the settings manager in the compiz dependencies? Did anyone actually test this before they released it??? | 02:48 |
| Alchera | i have an irritation .... all to do with dl dvd's >>> attempt to access beyond end of device | 02:48 |
| ganjamaniac | yeah this is supposed | 02:48 |
| ganjamaniac | because you have to feel how it feels to be without a gui | 02:49 |
| ganjamaniac | its something like you lost your slaves or something | 02:49 |
| * intelikey doesn't use a GUI | 02:49 | |
| ganjamaniac | those little icons doesn't serve anymore | 02:49 |
| ganjamaniac | i remember to 1984, | 02:50 |
| ganjamaniac | c64 | 02:50 |
| rredd4 | i had a coco | 02:50 |
| rredd4 | color computer.. | 02:51 |
| etfb | ganjamaniac: what are you talking about? This is the #kubuntu channel. | 02:51 |
| ganjamaniac | i don't know | 02:51 |
| rredd4 | 6800 processor... had to hack in programs | 02:51 |
| etfb | ganjamaniac: Sounds like your user nick is a little too accurate... | 02:51 |
| * intelikey remembers to 1970 no computers. well not for the private sector | 02:51 | |
| ganjamaniac | maybe | 02:51 |
| ganjamaniac | if you had a computer at home in 1970 it was something like you had a chemical plant in your hom | 02:52 |
| ganjamaniac | e | 02:52 |
| intelikey | well actually no. we had a chem plant but no computer | 02:53 |
| etfb | !ot | 02:53 |
| ubotu | #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! | 02:53 |
| intelikey | etfb yeap i guess so. | 02:53 |
| ganjamaniac | huh | 02:53 |
| intelikey | how do you like that. crys ot at us and then leaves. | 02:55 |
| intelikey | not very poetic... | 02:55 |
| Chemicalvamp | lol i forgot wheres xorg.conf located? | 02:58 |
| intelikey | /etc/X11/ | 02:58 |
| Chemicalvamp | thanks | 02:59 |
| intelikey | np | 02:59 |
| intelikey | why are monakers so different. some you can set bright and contrast both to 0 and they are still to bright and some you can set both to 100% and they are still do dim ?!!?..!? | 03:01 |
| Dragnslcr | Monakers? | 03:01 |
| Chemicalvamp | intelikey well i dont understand why that didnt fix it.. you know what screen im talking about right? with the loading bar that moves accross | 03:02 |
| intelikey | Chemicalvamp yes. that's the vga= also you might need to rebuild the initramfs.img it may be loading incorrect modules. | 03:03 |
| Chemicalvamp | i went into menu.lst and it says 791 | 03:03 |
| intelikey | Dragnslcr i don't make fun of the way you spell your nickname ;/ | 03:04 |
| Dragnslcr | Heh, I have an excuse though | 03:04 |
| Chemicalvamp | intelikey how do i rebuild initramfs? | 03:04 |
| intelikey | Chemicalvamp try 788 but i think thats 800x600 | 03:04 |
| intelikey | Chemicalvamp sudo update-ini[tabkey] | 03:05 |
| Dragnslcr | EFNet still has the stupid 9-character limit, and when I came over to Freenode, a few people got confused when I tried putting all the vowels back in | 03:05 |
| intelikey | point being we both misspelled on purpose. this is irc where spelling counts u no. | 03:06 |
| Dragnslcr | Hehe | 03:06 |
| Chemicalvamp | intelikey ok updateing initramfs, if thats a no go i'll try 788 | 03:07 |
| Ertain | Hello everyone. I'm trying to turn my Kubuntu set up into a router of sorts to use the online functionality of my Xbox 360. I've been trying for hours to make it work but to no avail. I've tried Firestarter, looking at iptable configs, and have tried Shorewall, but nothing works. My computer uses a wireless connection, btw. Any ideas? | 03:07 |
| intelikey | !wifi | 03:08 |
| ubotu | Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 03:08 |
| intelikey | no idea here. | 03:08 |
| ChaosMachine | How can I get grub to wait indefinatly for me to select an OS? | 03:08 |
| * intelikey is networking illiterate | 03:08 | |
| etfb | ChaosMachine: That's probably in /boot/grub/menu.lst somewhere. Let me check... | 03:09 |
| etfb | ChaosMachine: I suppose if you change the timeout value to something very large, that would have the effect you want. Dunno what happens if you comment out the timeout completely; it may default, or it may wait forever. | 03:10 |
| ChaosMachine | etfb, thanks, I can try it. :) | 03:10 |
| etfb | ChaosMachine: It's one of those rare cases where you really do need to reboot to fix something. Pretend you're playing in Windows! | 03:11 |
| ChaosMachine | :p haha | 03:11 |
| intelikey | ChaosMachine set the timeout to none ? | 03:11 |
| intelikey | ChaosMachine or comment out the timeout setting. | 03:12 |
| intelikey | i think the later is the prefered methood | 03:12 |
| etfb | intelikey: Does "none" work? It'd be nasty to mess up the menu.lst file and not be able to boot... (yeah, I'm paranoid) | 03:12 |
| * intelikey hides from etfb | 03:13 | |
| mrtimbo | hi | 03:13 |
| ChaosMachine | intelikey, thank you. | 03:14 |
| intelikey | how would messing up the menu.lst prevent booting etfb ? | 03:14 |
| intelikey | ChaosMachine np | 03:14 |
| etfb | Like I say - paranoid. Some things I'm happy to mess with; other things I like to be VEEEEEEERY careful with. Grub's settings file is one of the latter kind of thing. | 03:14 |
| etfb | Probably <<info grub>> or <<man grub>> will reveal a safe path... | 03:15 |
| intelikey | i mean you can boot with out a menu.lst .... </shrugs> | 03:15 |
| intelikey | and commenting out the var is a safe path | 03:15 |
| se7en | is there a way to see when my box was turned off (log files) | 03:16 |
| * etfb types <<sudo apt-get install grub-doc>> and is enlightened | 03:16 | |
| intelikey | se7en /var/log/syslog should have it. | 03:17 |
| se7en | thanks | 03:17 |
| ganjamaniac | whatevber | 03:17 |
| ganjamaniac | speedstep won't work | 03:18 |
| ganjamaniac | i don't know why | 03:18 |
| Chemicalvamp | intelikely nope | 03:18 |
| intelikey | Chemicalvamp which was that attempt ? | 03:18 |
| Chemicalvamp | both | 03:18 |
| intelikey | what's you vidio card/chip ? | 03:19 |
| Chemicalvamp | savage | 03:19 |
| intelikey | pastebin the output of lsmod for me | 03:19 |
| Chemicalvamp | bios and everything up to OS boot (usually) is in 800x600 | 03:20 |
| intelikey | ummm and cat /proc/cmdline | 03:20 |
| intelikey | Chemicalvamp ^ | 03:20 |
| theverant | hi all, any ideas on how I can undelete a fat32 CF Card? | 03:22 |
| ganjamaniac | turn the time backward | 03:23 |
| intelikey | dos undelete.com ? | 03:23 |
| sebby | how can i have make om my pc? | 03:24 |
| Chemicalvamp | intelikey http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49565/ | 03:24 |
| intelikey | iirc all M$-DO$ did was remove the first letter of the file name and they were considered deleted | 03:25 |
| intelikey | !b-e | sebby | 03:25 |
| ubotu | sebby: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 03:25 |
| Chemicalvamp | lol isnt it true that dos means dirty operating system? | 03:26 |
| neville | Yeah, back with QDOS | 03:28 |
| neville | Quick and Dirty Operating System | 03:28 |
| intelikey | Chemicalvamp disk operating system anyway. the command line says there was no vga= in the startup sequence. and the lsmod says nothing about fbcon which should probably load at post via the initramfs | 03:28 |
| Chemicalvamp | intelikey im gonna try one more thing brb | 03:29 |
| Chemicalvamp | intelikey defoptions=quiet splash vga=791 correct? | 03:30 |
| fsckr | ive downloaded a game with an .package extension can anyone tell me how I install that. I have never seen that extension b4 | 03:34 |
| Agent_bob | nope | 03:35 |

| masterk | hey guys I boot into kubuntus live cd and after its dont with all the text I just have a blank screen | 03:41 |
| masterk | why is this? | 03:41 |
| dthacker | masterk: how much RAM in your box? | 03:41 |
| masterk | 256mb | 03:41 |
| masterk | 1.1ghz celeron | 03:42 |
| Agent_bob | masterk one of two probable causes. bad burn of the disk ot vidio hardware not very well supported | 03:42 |
| Agent_bob | s/ot/or/ | 03:42 |
| masterk | hmm... | 03:42 |
| masterk | I have 2 video cards in | 03:42 |
| DaSkreech | can you jump to terminal one ? | 03:43 |
| masterk | and the one I am using is dual monitor | 03:43 |
| masterk | jump to terminal? | 03:43 |
| masterk | how | 03:43 |
| Agent_bob | masterk that's probably the cause. | 03:43 |
| Gidean | Hello everyone... | 03:44 |
| Agent_bob | masterk when it boots you might swap to the other card to see if it is inadvertantly using the wrong one | 03:44 |
| Gidean | Merry Xmas... | 03:44 |
| masterk | nothing shows on the other card when I boot | 03:44 |
| Gidean | Sometimes the sound goes away on my Gutsy Kubuntu Laptop. It returns when I reboot. Anyone have a clue why this may be? | 03:45 |
| Agent_bob | masterk i said after it boots. when all you have is a blank screen | 03:45 |
| masterk | oh I switched the monitor cable to the other card it didnt show | 03:46 |
| masterk | I am trying safe gfx mode now | 03:46 |
| Agent_bob | masterk ok. | 03:46 |
| Chemicalvamp | ok intelikely how do i add vga=788 to that command? | 03:46 |
| Gidean | ? | 03:46 |
| Agent_bob | Chemicalvamp the kernel= line that you boot | 03:47 |
| Agent_bob | Chemicalvamp in the /boot/grub/menu.lst | 03:47 |
| Chemicalvamp | ok so i was putting it in the wrong line | 03:47 |
| mrtimbo | this is the first time that i had to reinstall kubuntu and having a partition as /home saved most my settings and stuff | 03:48 |
| Agent_bob | Chemicalvamp you can test them with the edit feature of grub select the boot opetion and hit [e] then the kernel line and hit [e] and add what you will vga=791 for example | 03:48 |
| masterk | now after it loads the disk all I have is a blicking command cursor | 03:49 |
| Agent_bob | Chemicalvamp then [b] to boot | 03:49 |
| Myrth[home] | hi, is there anything to do about this: Setting up kdm (4:3.5.8-0ubuntu2.1) ... dpkg: error processing kdm (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 03:49 |
| masterk | and it just shut down | 03:49 |
| Agent_bob | masterk can you type into it ? | 03:49 |
| Agent_bob | oh | 03:49 |
| masterk | no it shut down when I pressed control alt and delete | 03:50 |
| masterk | oh I actually have 384 mb ram | 03:50 |
| Agent_bob | boot it with nosplash and see what the text message that it ends with is | 03:51 |
| masterk | how do I do nosplash? | 03:51 |
| CheGuevara | when on the grub menu, press e | 03:51 |
| Agent_bob | you add that word to the end of the boot line select the safe gfx and then add nosplash | 03:51 |
| CheGuevara | remove nosplash and press enter | 03:52 |
| Agent_bob | remove ? | 03:52 |
| CheGuevara | huh | 03:52 |
| CheGuevara | i need sleeps | 03:52 |
| CheGuevara | lol | 03:52 |
| Agent_bob | remove splash or actually change it to nosplash is what he needs. | 03:52 |
| masterk | what am I supposed to see? | 03:53 |
| CheGuevara | yeah thats what i meant to say | 03:53 |
| masterk | I still see the kubuntu icon and the loading bar | 03:53 |
| Agent_bob | that's not it. | 03:53 |
| Agent_bob | you are gone to far if that's what you are seeing | 03:53 |
| === darky00 is now known as darky000 | ||
| Agent_bob | it's at the boot menu | 03:54 |
| CheGuevara | masterk: did you select the safe boot | 03:54 |
| masterk | yes | 03:54 |
| Agent_bob | select != and enter | 03:54 |
| masterk | I can type into that screen btw | 03:54 |
| masterk | but nothing happens when I do | 03:55 |
| masterk | I typed login | 03:55 |
| masterk | but nothing happened | 03:55 |
| CheGuevara | no where you select safe boot | 03:55 |
| CheGuevara | you need to press e | 03:55 |
| CheGuevara | add " nosplash" at the end of it | 03:55 |
| CheGuevara | and only then press enter | 03:55 |
| Agent_bob | [e] != [enter] | 03:56 |
| CheGuevara | yeah e as in the letter e | 03:56 |
| masterk | no line is popping up when I press e | 03:56 |
| masterk | do I press f6 for other options? | 03:56 |
| Agent_bob | yeah | 03:57 |
| masterk | acpi: invalid PBLK length [5] | 03:58 |
| masterk | so far | 03:58 |

| Agent_bob | doesn't matter just try the vesa | 04:05 |
| masterk | it asks me to identify it | 04:05 |
| Agent_bob | blah | 04:05 |
| masterk | it has generic video card in it right now | 04:06 |
| masterk | hold on I have the video driver cd right here | 04:06 |
| Agent_bob | arbatrary input you can call it what you will | 04:06 |
| masterk | should I look in the cd to find out? | 04:06 |
| Agent_bob | no | 04:07 |
| Agent_bob | just call it bob and move on | 04:07 |
| Agent_bob | how many ways do i need to say it ? | 04:07 |
| masterk | it asks for a pci bus identifier | 04:07 |
| Agent_bob | hit enter | 04:08 |
| Agent_bob | it will find the bus | 04:08 |
| Agent_bob | or a bus | 04:08 |
| masterk | use the kernal framebuffer device interface? | 04:08 |
| Agent_bob | masterk do you have more than one monitor hooked up ? | 04:08 |
| Agent_bob | masterk no no framebuffer | 04:08 |
| masterk | no only one | 04:08 |
| Agent_bob | ok | 04:09 |
| masterk | keyboard model??? | 04:09 |
| Agent_bob | xorg | 04:10 |
| masterk | it says pc105 right now | 04:10 |
| Agent_bob | oh yeah leave that | 04:10 |
| masterk | variant? | 04:10 |
| Agent_bob | enter | 04:10 |
| masterk | mouse port? | 04:11 |
| masterk | I have usb | 04:11 |
| masterk | optical | 04:11 |
| Agent_bob | ok just hit enter | 04:11 |
| masterk | xorg server modules? | 04:11 |
| masterk | btw I also have a tv tuner | 04:12 |
| Agent_bob | for now just hit enter | 04:12 |
| masterk | method for selecting monitor characteristics? | 04:13 |
| Agent_bob | simple | 04:13 |
| masterk | ok I finished | 04:13 |
| masterk | now what | 04:14 |
| Agent_bob | startx | 04:14 |
| Agent_bob | type that | 04:14 |
| masterk | no sceeens found | 04:14 |
| Agent_bob | did the screen ever blink ? | 04:14 |
| masterk | yes | 04:14 |
| Agent_bob | ok. | 04:14 |
| masterk | its an old screen | 04:15 |
| masterk | even windowsz never shows it but it stilldisplays | 04:15 |
| masterk | like with monitor detection on my video card, it never shows up but I still get display out of it | 04:15 |
| Agent_bob | shouldn't matter linux should work with the monitor it's the multiple vidio cards that are probably confusing it | 04:16 |
| ubuntu_ | ola | 04:16 |
| === mikedomo is now known as linuxdomo | ||
| === ubuntu_ is now known as bruno_renostro | ||
| masterk | should I try to disable the onboard video? | 04:16 |
| bruno_renostro | ola | 04:16 |
| Agent_bob | masterk probably. and if need be you can walk back through the xorg configuration you now know how. | 04:17 |
| Agent_bob | !es | bruno_renostro si ola; | 04:18 |

| masterk | I cannot disable to onboard video | 04:19 |
| Agent_bob | DaSkreech you got this channel ? i'm getting pretty busy here | 04:19 |
| DaSkreech | I was just heading to bed :-( | 04:20 |
| DaSkreech | clearing it now | 04:20 |
| DaSkreech | I can hang out for an hour or so | 04:20 |
| ehc | audacity will play a song but I don't hear anything. I can listen to amarok fine though. | 04:20 |
| Agent_bob | masterk lspci can reviel the bus address and you can go back through the config and set that propperly you have other consoles you can use for checking things like that alt+f1 --- alt+f6 | 04:20 |
| Agent_bob | DaSkreech k. i'm out. just do what you can. some one else will pick up the slack | 04:21 |
| DaSkreech | ehc: What is audacity using to play? | 04:21 |
| DaSkreech | Agent_bob: thanks a lot man get some rest | 04:21 |
| ehc | DaSkreech, I don't know, just the defualt I assume | 04:22 |
| Agent_bob | i wish. it's work pressing. | 04:22 |
| unix_infidel | /quit | 04:22 |
| === linuxdomo is now known as mikedomo | ||
| DaSkreech | ehc: Ahmm. Not sure I've not used audacity. | 04:23 |
| DaSkreech | #ubuntustudio might be another good place to ask | 04:23 |
| ehc | DaSkreech, okay | 04:23 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about img - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:29 |
| backupp | how to burn a .img file into a cd in kubuntu? i tried k3b but it doesn't accept .img file.. | 04:29 |
| Chemicalvamp | I need to boot a CD image extracted to a USB flash drive. how do i tell grub to boot it? same as a windows partition? | 04:29 |
| erichj | backupp: should get you where you need to be http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=215386 | 04:30 |
| se7en | how do i check if my hdd is broken | 04:30 |
| se7en | !fdisk | 04:31 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fdisk - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:31 |
| CheGuevara | backupp: have you tried Tools, CD, Burn ISO image and Tools in k3b | 04:31 |
| CheGuevara | umm i mean | 04:32 |
| CheGuevara | tools burn iso image | 04:32 |
| erichj | backupp: you can also download i.e. 'sudo apt-get install ccd2iso' to convert the img file to an iso and then burn it | 04:33 |
| CheGuevara | se7en: best way would be to run a hard drive checking tool from your hard drive manufactures | 04:33 |
| backupp | CheGuevara: yup that's what i did but it doesn't accept my .img file.. | 04:33 |
| backupp | tomsrtbt-2.0.103.ElTorito.288.img | 04:33 |
| CheGuevara | se7en: if you let me know which make of hd it is, i'll link you | 04:33 |
| backupp | erichj: oh ok..i'll try | 04:33 |
| se7en | CheGuevara: seagate | 04:34 |
| CheGuevara | backupp: try sudo apt-get kiso | 04:34 |
| ardchoille | CheGuevara: Does kiso works with .img files? | 04:35 |
| erichj | backupp: and to do that just open a terminal where the .img is and type ccd2iso <img file> <whatever.iso> and you should be good. from everything i remember ccd and img are the same thing and i have never had any issues converting img files with that tool | 04:35 |
| CheGuevara | se7en: http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools/ | 04:35 |
| CheGuevara | ardchoille: yeah it does | 04:36 |
| CheGuevara | well it will convert to iso not burn | 04:36 |
| ardchoille | CheGuevara: That's good to know | 04:36 |

| se7en | thanks CheGuevara can you scan with fdisk for badblocks as well | 04:37 |
| DaSkreech | Chemicalvamp:^^^^ | 04:37 |
| CheGuevara | se7en: no fdisk is to format partitions | 04:37 |
| Dragnslcr | se7en- you may want fsck | 04:37 |
| Chemicalvamp | DaSkreech thats not what i need | 04:37 |
| masterk | in lspci it says the bus is 01:0e.0 do I put in 1:0e:0 into the xserver config? | 04:37 |
| Chemicalvamp | i need to know how to boot a flash drive as if it where a cd/dvd | 04:38 |
| DaSkreech | Chemicalvamp: The last link | 04:38 |
| se7en | Dragnslcr: yes thats it ... | 04:38 |
| backupp | erichj: ccd2iso doesn't work.. but i found out it must be done using mkisofs.. i think it will work! thanks anyway | 04:38 |
| CheGuevara | se7en: if you want to check under linux, man badblocks | 04:39 |
| masterk | Agent_bob: in lspci it says the bus is 01:0e.0 do I put in 1:0e:0 into the xserver config? | 04:39 |
| DaSkreech | Chemicalvamp: as far as I know your MB has to support boot from USB | 04:39 |
| CheGuevara | fsck is more for checking for file system corruption, not bad blocks | 04:39 |
| DaSkreech | !info badblocks | 04:40 |

| dwidmann | Hmm, I've got a question, if anybody knows of course. I'm not quite sure what controls my laptops volumeup key, but does anyone know what might? And if so, how to adjust how much it adjusts the volume by? | 04:42 |
| CheGuevara | se7en: whats the command you typed in | 04:42 |
| masterk | does anyone know the format to put into the xserver sorg video card bus identifier? I need to put what showed up in lspci in which is 01:0e.0 | 04:42 |
| se7en | CheGuevara: fsck -p and fsck -c come both back with fsck.ext3: Unable to resolve 'UUID | 04:42 |
| masterk | xorg* | 04:43 |
| CheGuevara | se7en: add /dev/sdx at the end | 04:43 |
| CheGuevara | where x is some letter probably a | 04:43 |
| dwidmann | masterk: BusID "PCI:0:2:0" is what my line looks like | 04:43 |
| Chemicalvamp | DaSkreech well that is what i needed.. just backwards. i need to know how to boot a windows cd from grub | 04:43 |
| Dragnslcr | dwidmann- I don't know where that might be in the normal settings, but you might be able to do it with keytouch | 04:43 |
| dwidmann | Dragnslcr: do tell | 04:44 |
| DaSkreech | Chemicalvamp: Put it on your hard drive and point grub at it | 04:44 |
| Dragnslcr | !keytouch | 04:44 |
| ubotu | keyboard shortcuts can be set in K -> System Settings -> Keyboard & Mouse. Try also "Input Actions" in KControl. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at https://wiki.kubuntu.org/KDEMultimediaKeys - See !Keyboard for changing layouts | 04:44 |
| masterk | yeah but lspci shows 01:0e.0 so how does that put into the xorg configuration? | 04:44 |
| se7en | CheGuevara: fsck.ext2: Bad magic number in super-block | 04:44 |
| Chemicalvamp | DaSkreech just root hd0,0? nothing else? | 04:44 |
| CheGuevara | oh crap thats supposed to be a partition | 04:45 |
| CheGuevara | sorry :P | 04:45 |
| DaSkreech | Chemicalvamp: read the site :) | 04:45 |
| dwidmann | masterk: hm, if all else fails, experiment. I'd try it without the e first. | 04:45 |
| CheGuevara | se7en: /dev/sda1 try that | 04:45 |
| se7en | CheGuevara: that was fsck -cp /dev/sda1/ | 04:45 |
| Chemicalvamp | DaSkreech i did, it tells you how to boot a linux install CD from a partition on your harddrive | 04:45 |
| DaSkreech | Right | 04:46 |
| DaSkreech | and what's the problem? | 04:46 |
| Chemicalvamp | i need grub to boot a windows cd | 04:46 |
| CheGuevara | se7en: probably wrong partition then | 04:46 |
| DaSkreech | Chemicalvamp: is the CD bootable? | 04:47 |
| Chemicalvamp | yes | 04:47 |
| CheGuevara | dwidmann: http://pastebin.ca/832413 something like that | 04:47 |
| DaSkreech | Then it works the same way | 04:47 |
| DaSkreech | no magic | 04:47 |
| se7en | CheGuevara: i have one hdd 2 partitions sda1 is the system and sda2 my data | 04:47 |
| CheGuevara | sorry wrong nick | 04:47 |
| CheGuevara | masterk: http://pastebin.ca/832413 | 04:47 |
| CheGuevara | se7en: if you are deffinetely sure that its the right partion, then your partion might be messe up | 04:48 |
| Chemicalvamp | well than where on this windows MCE CD is the vmlinuz and initramfs.img? | 04:48 |
| masterk | CheGuevara I will try that | 04:48 |
| se7en | CheGuevara: that was the answer i was not hoping for ... | 04:49 |
| CheGuevara | se7en: why did you want to check your hard drive in the first place? | 04:49 |
| masterk | still no screens found and the screen did blink | 04:50 |
| CheGuevara | masterk: post your /var/log/Xorg.0.log somewhere | 04:50 |
| masterk | how? | 04:51 |
| CheGuevara | somewhere = pastebin | 04:51 |
| se7en | CheGuevara: because i can boot and work for about 10 min and than everything falls apart ... like ls comand not found | 04:51 |
| CheGuevara | good question | 04:51 |
| DaSkreech | Chemicalvamp: it would look like a normal Windows partition bootup line. No need for those | 04:51 |
| CheGuevara | se7en: have you backed up all your important data yet? | 04:51 |
| se7en | CheGuevara: there was a black out last night ... i am backing up right now | 04:52 |
| masterk | where do I get the log? | 04:52 |
| CheGuevara | se7en: there's a way to fix that bag magic number error, but i hate messing with file systems | 04:53 |
| CheGuevara | masterk: it should be in /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 04:53 |
| se7en | jo thanks anyway you have been a great help i guess i have to install new ... | 04:54 |
| CheGuevara | se7en: one sec | 04:54 |
| CheGuevara | what does tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 say | grep 'Block size' | 04:54 |
| CheGuevara | meh | 04:54 |
| CheGuevara | what does tune2fs -l /dev/sda1 | grep 'Block size' | 04:55 |
| CheGuevara | say :P | 04:55 |
| masterk | it says in the log that the video card I want is pci:1:14:0 should I use this? | 04:56 |
| CheGuevara | masterk: what are the errors in the log file | 04:56 |
| CheGuevara | they will have (EE) in brackets before them | 04:57 |
| masterk | oh snap I used that pci instead and now I have it loading | 04:57 |
| masterk | I see a mouse | 04:57 |
| masterk | and a blue scren | 04:57 |
| masterk | and now a spalsh | 04:57 |
| CheGuevara | nice :P | 04:57 |
| se7en | CheGuevara: i can't even backup dolphin doesn't start and in the terminal cp: cannot stat `.mozilla': Input/output error | 04:58 |
| CheGuevara | se7en: yeah i recomen a re-install, you can try messing with fixing the file system, but it rarely ends good | 04:58 |
| se7en | thanks CheGuevara :( | 04:59 |
| CheGuevara | np se7en, sorry for the unhappy news | 04:59 |
| se7en | well the sys is up and running since 1.5 years so i guess its time :) | 05:00 |
| CheGuevara | heh | 05:01 |
| CheGuevara | DaSkreech: you cool here if i got to sleep? | 05:02 |
| DaSkreech | CheGuevara: seems so | 05:02 |
| ganjamaniac | heh amarcock works fine | 05:03 |
| ganjamaniac | but someone knows a digital tv watching program like progdvb? | 05:03 |
| CheGuevara | amarcock? :P | 05:04 |
| earthcreed | I've been looking around for help on a click-to-focus issue. I am running Gutsy and I have installed compiz-fusion as per the instructions on wiki.ubuntu.com. I like my focus model to be click-to-focus, but it is currently set to focus-follows-mouse. I have tried changing the settings in both compiz-config-manager and kcontrol and neither setting seems to take effect. | 05:04 |
| DaSkreech | Well if you are running Compiz it would be a compiz issue | 05:06 |
| DaSkreech | !compiz | 05:06 |
| 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 | 05:06 |
| DaSkreech | I'm assuming those are the instructions you followed? | 05:06 |
| earthcreed | Those were the instructions. | 05:07 |
| earthcreed | Hrm, I have one question that might be better answered here. | 05:09 |
| omar | Guys how do I deal with tar.gz files?? | 05:09 |
| earthcreed | I followed the above instructions, and then I tried to uninstall compiz, by removing the shell script in my ~/.kde/Autostart/ directory. Unfortunately it still autostarts. | 05:10 |
| tai | i can barely type because my computer is running so slow. can't get compix to work with my ati card.... i need to revert back to what originally came with kubuntu | 05:10 |
| earthcreed | Oh, goodie, a second to my question. | 05:10 |
| tai | compiz | 05:11 |
| CheGuevara | omar: just open them from the file browser | 05:11 |
| CheGuevara | tai: can't you just deinstall the compiz packages | 05:11 |
| omar | CheGuevara: No compression tools needed here? | 05:13 |

| CheGuevara | yeah | 05:17 |

| prot01 | hello all | 05:22 |
| tai | im super new to this and i don't know how | 05:22 |
| nalioth | hi prot01 | 05:22 |
| prot01 | I have a query on partiotions | 05:22 |
| nalioth | !tell prot01 about fstab | 05:22 |
| DaSkreech | tai: how? | 05:22 |
| nalioth | prot01: i assume you already got the !ntfs message? | 05:22 |
| prot01 | yes....i got it ..but mine doesnt show it as NTFS | 05:23 |
| prot01 | i am not able to access it at all...even though it has around 20 gb of space | 05:23 |
| DaSkreech | tai: Ah how to uninstall? Are you comfortable with the command line? | 05:23 |
| nalioth | prot01: open a terminal, please | 05:23 |
| prot01 | yes I will do that....sorry for annoying nalioth.. | 05:24 |
| prot01 | u mean new chat terminal here or on my kubuntu machine... | 05:25 |
| nalioth | prot01: open a konsole on your machine in question | 05:25 |
| prot01 | i have already opened a terminal.. | 05:25 |
| prot01 | yes i have.. | 05:25 |
| nalioth | prot01: type "sudo fdisk -l" and put the output in a pastebin, please | 05:26 |
| prot01 | sure nalioth.... | 05:27 |
| DaSkreech | !pastebin | 05:28 |
| ubotu | pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 05:28 |
| earthcreed | So just removing the Packages worked great to remove Compiz | 05:28 |
| earthcreed | I was worried that it would break things if I removed it without setting my window manager back to default. | 05:29 |
| pete__ | whoa | 05:30 |
| DaSkreech | earthcreed: you can type kwin --replace to get back kwin :) | 05:30 |
| pete__ | merry christmas | 05:30 |
| mrtimbo | you too pete_ | 05:30 |
| pete__ | im jewish | 05:30 |
| pete__ | haha | 05:30 |
| pete__ | but ty | 05:30 |
| * earthcreed Thanks DaSkreech! | 05:30 | |
| prot01 | i am back with the result here : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49569/ | 05:31 |
| prot01 | I am trying to access sda6, it shows as linux.... | 05:31 |
| nalioth | prot01: then adjust your fstab to make it so | 05:32 |
| flaccid | !ntfs | 05:32 |
| ubotu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 05:32 |
| prot01 | but thats not my active partition | 05:32 |
| prot01 | i wish to format it | 05:32 |
| flaccid | !mount | 05:32 |
| ubotu | Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Kubuntu, go to System Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Disks & Filesystem. See also !fstab and !DiskMounter | 05:32 |
| nalioth | prot01: then use qtparted | 05:33 |
| prot01 | and access it | 05:33 |
| prot01 | ok | 05:33 |
| prot01 | thanks i will give a try | 05:33 |
| nalioth | flaccid: it works better if you !tell NICK about FACTOID. randomly filling the channel doesn't work real well | 05:33 |
| Thingus | Anyone know if there is a new 2.1.2 deb for Freeciv? | 05:33 |
| Thingus | Or, do I have to compile the new version? | 05:33 |
| flaccid | nalioth: indeed. but im lazy and don't care | 05:33 |
| fildo | ahha | 05:34 |
| nalioth | Thingus: i suspect #freeciv holds the answers | 05:34 |
| fildo | ill cheers to that | 05:34 |
| nalioth | in busy channels like #ubuntu, that method saves a lot of trouble for everybody | 05:35 |
| Thingus | nalioth: Thanks | 05:36 |
| flaccid | this is not #ubuntu | 05:36 |
| nalioth | flaccid: but it is still very random. at least, do !factoid | NICK to get folks' attention | 05:36 |
| flaccid | nalioth: what if i say no? | 05:37 |
| * Hobbsee looks in | 05:38 | |
| ardchoille | hi Hobbsee | 05:38 |
| Hobbsee | heya ardchoille | 05:39 |

| masterk | what is the default user and pass for apache? | 05:44 |
| Hobbsee | flaccid: if you say no, then none of us have to reason with you, in keeping with the "lazy and don't care" attitude, and can give you a permanent kickban. | 05:45 |
| ardchoille | When I type "about:konqueror" into konqueror, a nice webpage comes up. Where is that page located? I'd like to use it as a template for a bookmarks page on my box. | 05:45 |
| Hobbsee | flaccid: because we'll just use the "lazy and don't care" attitude right back on you, when you come and appeal it. | 05:45 |
| Hobbsee | flaccid: just a FYI | 05:45 |
| flaccid | Hobbsee: dude there is no issue here. people can help how they wish, this is freenode | 05:45 |

| ardchoille | DaSkreech: Aha, didn't think to look there | 05:49 |
| NickPresta | ardchoille, check out: /usr/share/apps/konqueror/about. They apparently use a template sort of system so you have to think a bit but it's fairly self-explanatory | 05:49 |

| ubotu | flaccid: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ | 05:49 |
| flaccid | DaSkreech: specifically? i mean i feel offended so is that a breach of coc. do we really have to be trivial? | 05:50 |
| Hobbsee | flaccid: it falls under "use your common sense" | 05:50 |
| Hobbsee | flaccid: and !msgthebot, etc | 05:50 |
| flaccid | right, can you please leave me alone, that is also common sense | 05:50 |
| earthcreed | !tell earthcreed about !coc | 05:51 |
| Hobbsee | not really, because i care about useful information provided to the channel. | 05:51 |
| Hobbsee | earthcreed: no second ! | 05:51 |
| Hobbsee | which is not by giving out random factoids | 05:51 |
| flaccid | and Hobbsee, im a frequent helper, so i would have to say i do as well | 05:51 |
| Hobbsee | when you're not trolling, sure. | 05:52 |
| flaccid | have a look at logs and see how many times i did it correctly yesterday.. | 05:52 |

| prot01 | ohh sorry nalioth | 05:53 |
| nalioth | !tell prot01 about mount | 05:53 |
| prot01 | i have formatted using qparted | 05:53 |
| Hobbsee | flaccid: btw, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines - the section on bot abuse. | 05:53 |
| prot01 | but now it is in disabled state | 05:53 |
| Hobbsee | flaccid: if you must require rules for everything | 05:54 |
| flaccid | Hobbsee: i've already read them many times in the past. can i please ask you to adhere as well by showing some respect | 05:54 |
| prot01 | so how do I enable the partition for me to access it... | 05:54 |
| flaccid | i don't believe i've breached anything | 05:54 |
| * Hobbsee notes no ban since october 30 | 05:54 | |
| ardchoille | DaSkreech: I didn't find anything in /usr/share/doc, but I could have been looking in the wrong place | 05:55 |
| flaccid | can you also note, the hundreds of hours i have spent helping people in this channel, Hobbsee? | 05:55 |
| nalioth | prot01: did you read the latest info ubotu sent you? | 05:55 |
| NickPresta | ardchoille, did you see my message? | 05:56 |
| nalioth | flaccid: the point of the bot having so many service vectors is to make it easy on the helped | 05:56 |
| * Hobbsee restarts X | 05:56 | |
| prot01 | no not completely....but since I partitioned linux to fat32 i am in a new territory altogether... | 05:56 |
| prot01 | however i am doing that now again... | 05:56 |
| flaccid | nalioth: i know how to use the bot. you are welcome to check the logs to see that. | 05:56 |
| flaccid | say the last 6 months would be a good cross section | 05:57 |
| nalioth | then if you know, flaccid, where does the 'lazy' part come in? | 05:57 |
| flaccid | nalioth: its boxing day and i forgot twice, and in 1 second i have 2 people coming down my back | 05:57 |
| flaccid | why make a big deal out of something so small? | 05:57 |
| nalioth | small things add up. | 05:58 |
| flaccid | they do? | 05:58 |
| flaccid | what other small things are you talking about nalioth? | 05:59 |
| ardchoille | DaSkreech: It's in /usr/share/apps/konqueror/about :) | 06:01 |
| flaccid | i have to reboot brb | 06:01 |
| NickPresta | ardchoille, I told you that 7 minutes ago ;) | 06:02 |
| ardchoille | NickPresta: Sorry, I must have missed it | 06:02 |
| nalioth | NickPresta: you know kids these days, they never listen :P | 06:02 |
| NickPresta | nalioth, heh. I'm sure it was an honest mistake =) | 06:03 |
| ardchoille | NickPresta: It it was a PM, I never got it :( | 06:03 |
| NickPresta | ardchoille, nope. I said it in the channel, twice. heh. Oh well. At least you found the location. | 06:04 |
| SirChasm | Is it possible to get other plugins besides Flash (i.e. Java and MPlayer) to work in the 64-bit Firefox? | 06:04 |
| nalioth | SirChasm: if they're open source plugins, surely. proprietary ones, i suspect you'd be out of luck | 06:05 |
| ardchoille | NickPresta: Ah, ok, thank you for the info :) | 06:05 |
| NickPresta | ardchoille, I'm actually curious about the template system, type thing, that is used in those HTML documents. All the "content" is replaced with "%1" but the actual content is in a comment right next to the "%1". Strange. | 06:06 |
| SirChasm | sorry guys, back | 06:06 |
| Trigger | hey guys if i dl an iso to a flash drive and set the flash drive to boot up as a dvd drive | 06:06 |
| SirChasm | apparently closing a chat window in pidgin quits the whole program 0_o | 06:06 |
| Trigger | can I get a comp with only a bios to run kubuntu | 06:06 |
| flaccid | Trigger: you could do https://wiki.kubuntu.org/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 06:07 |
| krawek | SirChasm: http://gwenole.beauchesne.info/projects/nspluginwrapper/ | 06:08 |
| ardchoille | NickPresta: And the way they put it together makes it difficult to figure out | 06:09 |
| NickPresta | ardchoille, I'm sure there is a method to the madness. There usually is. Although it seems to be it would be easier to just write the actual content in the document. It isn't like it is difficult to change or update. | 06:09 |
| SirChasm | krawek: they exclude Java from the compatibility list. Do you know what to do about Java? | 06:10 |
| ardchoille | NickPresta: True | 06:10 |
| nalioth | SirChasm: java is in the repos | 06:11 |
| flaccid | !java | SirChasm | 06:11 |
| ubotu | SirChasm: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre. Please don't use Adept to install Java if you are on Kubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) or earlier. | 06:11 |
| krawek | java is not supported ? | 06:11 |
| * flaccid winks @ nalioth | 06:11 | |
| DaSkreech | !flash64 | 06:11 |
| ubotu | You can run Flash, Real, and Java plugins in AMD64 bit computers with Firefox. see the steps to follow at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FirefoxAMD64FlashJava | 06:11 |
| krawek | SirChasm: kubuntu-restricted-extras | 06:12 |
| flaccid | DaSkreech: hey you didn't seem to direct that to anyone! | 06:12 |
| SirChasm | holy, ok, one at a time :p | 06:12 |
| DaSkreech | flaccid: Didn't know who asked originally | 06:12 |
| SirChasm | DaSkreech: I have that page open already, and it outlines the steps for the 32-bit FF. I'm interested in the 64-bit FF. For the 64-bit they only talk about the nspluginwrapper for flash, and that's it. Hence my question abou the other plugins. | 06:13 |
| DaSkreech | SirChasm: that would be correcy | 06:13 |
| DaSkreech | t | 06:13 |
| flaccid | DaSkreech: check your log first then. i just got in big trouble for that | 06:15 |
| DaSkreech | Ok | 06:15 |
| flaccid | im off | 06:16 |
| se7en | CheGuevara: looks like the sys was screwed up ... | 06:16 |
| SirChasm | damnation! he left before I finished asking my question. | 06:16 |
| SirChasm | maybe someone else can answer | 06:17 |
| SirChasm | ok, suppose I have the nspluginwrapper, 64-bit FF, and sun-java5-jre package. From there, how do I get FF to understnad that Java is installed, or will it be automatic? | 06:19 |
| nalioth | SirChasm: java is available for all arches of kubuntu, if you visit the page DaSkreech poked out of the bot, it'll explain a bit | 06:19 |
| nalioth | SirChasm: it should be automatic upon a restart of firefox | 06:19 |
| SirChasm | nalioth: so I'll have to create a link like that page says to the sun-java6-jre package, and that's it? | 06:21 |
| SirChasm | java5* | 06:21 |
| nalioth | SirChasm: just like it says :) | 06:22 |
| SirChasm | hmm ok | 06:22 |
| SirChasm | so then it's technically possible to run a 64-bit FF | 06:22 |
| SirChasm | a fully-functioning 64-bit FF, I should add | 06:23 |
| SirChasm | excellent | 06:23 |
| sn00zer | hello, I changed my external hardrive icon manually via right click->properties, how do I make it so that it goes back to default, then changes when I change icon themes? | 06:23 |

| SirChasm | heh, I installed Synaptic Package Manager, and now I don't remember why | 06:34 |
| homercycles | I need to add "mbmon -r -P 61234" to the system startup so that GKrellM's sensor monitor will always read the sensors. What's the best way to add this to my "autoexec.bat" in Linux? | 06:36 |
| biovore | rc.local in /etc/rc.local is probably the simplest way.. | 06:37 |
| biovore | get run everytime the run-level changes | 06:37 |
| biovore | and on boot | 06:37 |
| homercycles | and it'll be run as root? | 06:37 |
| biovore | yup | 06:37 |
| biovore | paste it in before the "exit 0" line.. should work.. | 06:38 |
| homercycles | what if I exit X Windows, that changes the runlevel? will it run another mbmon? | 06:38 |
| biovore | Not sure on the new init system on ubuntu iwhe nit gets loaded.. | 06:38 |
| biovore | nope.. | 06:38 |
| homercycles | excellent. thanks for your help. | 06:39 |
| biovore | on kubuntu you only change run levels if you force it with init <runlevel number> | 06:39 |
| biovore | or you shutdown.. but I don't think it runs rc.local on shutdown or reboot.. | 06:39 |
| biovore | the only runlevel kubuntu uses is 2.. I think.. | 06:39 |
| biovore | 0 -- system start | 06:39 |
| biovore | 1 -- kernel loading (single user more, no network) | 06:40 |
| homercycles | thanks. I switched to Linux (for good, I hope) only a few days ago. I'm documenting what I've done here: http://marcfearby.com/computing/the-migration-of-a-fussy-windows-user-to-linux | 06:40 |
| biovore | 2 -- full multiuser system | 06:40 |
| homercycles | 5 is X Windows, IIRC? | 06:40 |
| biovore | on redhat, suse it is.. | 06:40 |
| DaSkreech | homercycles: :) | 06:40 |
| homercycles | I've dabbled in Linux before... it just never took | 06:40 |
| biovore | I believe is runlevel 2 on ubuntu, and debian. | 06:40 |
| NickPresta | homercycles, you might consider KMail instead of Thunderbird. I find it is a much better alternative. | 06:43 |
| homercycles | I may eventually do that but, for now, I want something that I'm familiar with and still provides the option of use on any operating system. I don't want to totally divorce myself from Windows just yet :-) | 06:44 |
| homercycles | last time I used Thunderbird, but then decided to give Outlook a try, I had to run an "mbox2eml" program to convert it, load it into Outlook Express, then get Outlook to import it. Switching email programs is not very pleasant, to say the least | 06:45 |
| === ets is now known as ets77 | ||
| === ets77 is now known as etsanta | ||
| homercycles | I remain impressed with Kubuntu and other KDE offerings, though, especially K3b and KTorrent | 06:46 |
| DaSkreech | :-) | 06:46 |
| DaSkreech | great | 06:46 |
| etsanta | Kubuntu 7.10 has a nice theme according to me out of the box- | 06:47 |
| DaSkreech | what are you not impressed with lets start getting that to irresistable status | 06:47 |
| NickPresta | homercycles, about your OOo issue. Check out: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Dictionaries | 06:47 |
| === ubuntu is now known as licea | ||
| NickPresta | homercycles, then in OOo, go to Tools > Option > Language Settings > Languages. Make sure you have everything setup correctly. In that same sub-menu, click on Writing Aids. Make sure you have "check spelling as you type" and such enabled. Make sure you have your OOo dictionaries checked. | 06:49 |
| homercycles | NickPresta: going to file, wizard, install new dictionaries in Writer actually crashed OOo :-( very strange | 06:49 |
| NickPresta | homercycles, I remember having this problem with Debian so there is a solution. It just isn't very intuitive. | 06:50 |
| NickPresta | and as for the Firefox issue, the reason why you don't get updates all the time or right away, is because sometimes there is no need to. For example, some updates for Fx are fixes for Windows related bugs. Obviously there wouldn't be that version in the repo because it is no different from the previous version. | 06:51 |
| ardchoille | NickPresta: That is an excellent explanation | 06:52 |
| ardchoille | I'm going to use that. | 06:52 |
| homercycles | since installing FF 2.0.0.11 it still doesn't render the occasional web page, so I guess 2.0.0.6 was good enough | 06:52 |
| NickPresta | ardchoille, well, that, and the fact that new releases aren't pushed into the repos on the same day due to testing and the MOTU being human and all ;) | 06:53 |
| biovore | active X == Evil | 06:53 |
| NickPresta | homercycles, which web pages? Flash-intensive pages? | 06:53 |
| ardchoille | NickPresta: Yeah | 06:53 |
| homercycles | NickPresta: I just edited my blog entry on Kubuntu then hit refresh and it wouldn't reload, even though it went through the motions as if it was reloading. The scroll bar doesn't work when this happens, too. There's no flash on my blog | 06:56 |
| K`zan | Hi folks, suddenly my .wmv files quit playing back - get audio but no video. Any thoughts appreciated. | 06:56 |
| NickPresta | homercycles, I don't know what to tell you. *shrug* My installation of Fx is very reliable when I'm not dealing with Flash related stuff. Is this behavior unique to Fx or do you notice it in Konqueror or another browser? | 06:57 |
| homercycles | I haven't used Konqueror enough to know for sure but what I do know is that if I load the same recalcitrant page in Konq then Konq loads it fine | 06:57 |
| homercycles | I haven't installed Compiz or anything crazy like that, either :-) | 06:58 |
| NickPresta | homercycles, hmm, strange. Overall though, your issues seem fairly minimal. I'm sure a couple more days of tinkering will fix everything. | 06:59 |
| homercycles | NickPresta: I'm not sure what kind of tinkerage might resolve my Firefox issues but, on the whole, my move to Linux this time has been much more pleasant | 07:00 |
| homercycles | The threat of Vista has probably helped, too :-) | 07:01 |
| NickPresta | homercycles, that's good. If you're having a consistent problem with Firefox (write down specific pages so other Fx users can test them too), you might want to make a forum post on the ubuntu forums so you can be helped or directed to file a bug report. | 07:01 |
| NickPresta | homercycles, heh :) | 07:01 |
| homercycles | Kubuntu doesn't load the screen saver after the configured 5 minutes, either. I haven't dwelled on it but maybe there's something else I have to enable? | 07:02 |
| homercycles | if FF gets annoying I'll do that because this can't go on | 07:02 |
| NickPresta | homercycles, does the screensaver not start or it doesn't put up a "screen" or what, specifically, doesn't work? | 07:02 |
| homercycles | if 2.0.0.11 isn't really needed for Linux then should I go back to the 2.0.0.6 deb package? If I did that then everything that looks for Firefox will be happy again, I guess | 07:03 |
| homercycles | the screen saver just never shows up. no error message, no blank screen, no nufink | 07:03 |
| homercycles | I tell a lie. I just set it to 1 minute and now it shows up. I swear that it was never on if I left the room for half an hour and came back when it was set to 5 minutes | 07:05 |
| NickPresta | homercycles, I sometimes have that problem. There is a bug filed for this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeartwork/+bug/155490) so it should be resolved relatively soon | 07:06 |
| homercycles | I've taken to turning off my monitor when I leave the room for extended periods now | 07:07 |
| homercycles | it's nice to know it's a bug and not just me, though. thanks | 07:07 |
| NickPresta | homercycles, well, I usually lock my session, which starts my screensaver, and then turn off the monitors. | 07:08 |
| homercycles | locking the session for me simply leaves a snapshot of my desktop and apps. I don't get a screen saver | 07:08 |
| K`zan | Gonna try the m$ fix, it was working so perhaps a reboot... | 07:09 |

| youknowwho | how can i log in? | 09:05 |
| youknowwho | all i got is a console with "busybox" in it? | 09:06 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Hello everyone! | 09:06 |
| MilhousePunkRock | How can I install a certain version of the nvidia binary drivers, that is not in the repos? | 09:07 |
| youknowwho | hi | 09:07 |
| MilhousePunkRock | In the simplest and cleanest way... | 09:07 |
| youknowwho | can someone answer me? | 09:08 |
| MilhousePunkRock | youknowwho: What was the question? | 09:08 |
| biovore | kde 4 is beta.. and not support | 09:09 |
| youknowwho | i can't log into the kde4 live cd rc2 | 09:09 |
| biovore | no clue.. I don't mess with kde 4 atm.. | 09:09 |
| youknowwho | all i got is busybox something | 09:09 |
| biovore | MilhousePunkRock: nvidia driver, not from repos.. | 09:09 |
| youknowwho | oh , i know is beta just trying, that's why i downloaded the livecd | 09:09 |
| biovore | maybe, graphics adapter not support by that live cd.. | 09:10 |
| MilhousePunkRock | biovore: Do I have more than these two options? Getting the install script directly from the nvidia site or using that nasty envy thingy? | 09:10 |
| biovore | MilhousePunkRock: I install from nvidia's site.. | 09:11 |
| youknowwho | i don't know much, but try envy | 09:11 |
| biovore | you need to get the kernel sources and build-essential.. then run the installer... | 09:11 |
| biovore | also you will need to kill X before running the nvidia installer | 09:11 |
| youknowwho | with envy i would be a hell of a lot better than installing it from the nvidia site | 09:11 |
| youknowwho | i've done it, envy's flawless on my system | 09:12 |
| biovore | envy.. is that alberto's script? | 09:12 |
| MilhousePunkRock | It does not look like envy lets me choose a particular version though... | 09:12 |
| biovore | !envy | 09:12 |
| ubotu | envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver » | 09:12 |
| youknowwho | yes albertoo's script | 09:13 |
| biovore | well I install using nvidia's install guide lines.. work great here.. | 09:13 |
| MilhousePunkRock | biovore: I've read that factoid, it scares me... | 09:13 |
| youknowwho | of course, but if you need the latest nvidia driver you could use it at your own risk | 09:13 |
| Alchera | envy works every time | 09:14 |
| youknowwho | installing the nvidia driver in envy would automatically install the latest version | 09:14 |
| biovore | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368 <-- basicly the same thing as envy does.. | 09:14 |
| biovore | I havn't used envy here.. so I can't tell you if it works or not.. | 09:14 |
| biovore | or what is does | 09:15 |
| ardchoille | I installed nvidia drivers with "sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx && sudo nvidia-glx-config enable" and it worked great on 11 machines. | 09:15 |
| biovore | yup same here.. | 09:15 |
| youknowwho | i've done it the nvidia way, it was fun, but a little complicated | 09:15 |
| Alchera | http://www.albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html | 09:15 |
| biovore | I don't know if I would call 5 cli commands complicated... | 09:15 |
| youknowwho | i installed using the restricted driver manager, but i needed the latest version | 09:16 |
| youknowwho | so that i could play wow the burning crusade, envy worked | 09:16 |
| youknowwho | i know but for a begginer is difficult, not like envy or the restricted drivers manager | 09:17 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Well, I have the latest version from the repos right now, but it has a bug which gives me a pink screen in MythTV every now and then, 100.14.11 is supposed to not have it | 09:17 |
| youknowwho | remember that he asked for the simplest way | 09:17 |
| MilhousePunkRock | youknowwho: I have compiled stuff myself and have nearly two years of linux experience. But I prefer not to mess up the package management, or at least only as little as I have to... | 09:18 |
| youknowwho | i took my chances because i have mandriva 2008 on another partition | 09:18 |
| youknowwho | tho, in the begining i've installed the nvidia driver, back in 6.10 | 09:19 |
| youknowwho | with the nvidia instructions | 09:19 |
| youknowwho | it's risky but not so much as automatic, it worked flawlessly on my michine | 09:20 |
| se7en | where does the system log that you connected to the internet | 09:21 |
| youknowwho | downloading another live cd of kde4 to try it, thank anyway | 09:22 |
| benjamin | hi, does flash work on x86-64 maschines? | 09:22 |
| youknowwho | sorry for my english, i'm from argentina | 09:23 |
| benjamin | I did try to install the adobe flash plugin but there was an error message | 09:23 |
| MilhousePunkRock | benjamin: Read the channel topic | 09:23 |
| MilhousePunkRock | !flash | benjamin | 09:23 |
| ubotu | benjamin: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 09:23 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 09:23 |
| se7en | i would need to know when my box looses the internet connection and when its coming back online so i would need to know where this events are loged | 09:23 |
| benjamin | ah thanks | 09:24 |
| youknowwho | ok, bye everyone | 09:26 |
| sd132 | is kleansweep safe to use? | 09:26 |
| ardchoille | !kleansweep | 09:27 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kleansweep - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 09:27 |
| ardchoille | sd132: Well, the bot doesn't post any warnings | 09:27 |
| sd132 | ardchoille: ok thanks | 09:27 |
| ardchoille | !webmin | 09:27 |
| ubotu | webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system | 09:27 |
| ardchoille | sd132: An example of a warning ^^ | 09:28 |
| ardchoille | sd132: That's not to say kleansweep is absolutely safe, there's no substitute for being careful. | 09:29 |
| sd132 | ardchoille: true | 09:29 |
| fdoving | just after reading http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=28631 i'd say it looks OK, i would be a little scared if i started using the 'orphaned files' option.. i belive i would stay away from that actually. | 09:29 |
| sd132 | just wondering if anyone has had problems with itt | 09:29 |
| ardchoille | sd132: I'm here quite a bit and have not heard anything bad about it | 09:30 |
| sd132 | ardchoille: ok thanks again | 09:30 |
| ardchoille | fdoving: Thanks for that link | 09:31 |
| sd132 | fdoving: thanks | 09:32 |
| MilhousePunkRock | Ha, using the script from nvidia took about 2 minutes | 09:36 |
| uwo | hi all - how do i reset kde4 settings (make all custom settings back to default)? | 09:39 |
| se7en | why do i get ppermission denied on a watch /var/log/syslog command? | 09:40 |
| ardchoille | se7en: Because of the permissions of that file, your user doesn't have permissions on that file unless you use sudo. | 09:42 |
| se7en | no sudo watch /var/log/syslog same error | 09:42 |
| ardchoille | Ah | 09:43 |
| ardchoille | se7en: I get the same error | 09:43 |
| ardchoille | Weird | 09:44 |
| se7en | watch is the right command ???? | 09:44 |
| ardchoille | se7en: You could use: sudo tail -f /var/log/syslog | 09:45 |
| ardchoille | In fact, that's what I would use | 09:45 |
| se7en | yes i did ardchoille it's just weird that watch doesnt work | 09:45 |
| ardchoille | Yeah | 09:45 |
| llutz | se7en: watch needs a command to execute, so use: "watch tail /var/log/messages" or besser ardchoiles advice | 09:46 |
| llutz | better | 09:46 |
| ardchoille | llutz: Ah, thanks for that | 09:46 |
| se7en | ahhhhh thanks llutz | 09:46 |
| ardchoille | That amkes sense | 09:46 |
| se7en | are you german? | 09:47 |
| llutz | i am | 09:47 |

| ardchoille | se7en picked up on the "besser" | 09:47 |
| llutz | a tired one, so excuse for typo | 09:47 |

| jumpkic1 | despite what the press release for Ubuntu says | 11:16 |
| jpatrick | jumpkic1: just because it's in ubuntu doesn't mean it's in kubuntu | 11:18 |
| jpatrick | jumpkic1: ubuntu press release says new gnome, I don't see that in kubuntu anywhere | 11:18 |
| jumpkic1 | jpatrick: you don't think its perhaps a bit misleading that the second download link is for Kubuntu? ( http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/hardy/alpha2#head-1b141d134159de0880483e58246a17d4834cfd10 ) | 11:21 |
| jpatrick | jumpkic1: read: "Some non-GNOME applications still need to be changed to output to pulse/esd by default and the volume control tools are still not integrated" | 11:21 |

| jumpkic1 | I read that paragraph you quoted as meaning, most stuff works... | 11:25 |

| nuxil | hmm | 11:45 |
| nuxil | ARR.. adept sucks. | 11:46 |
| jpatrick | nuxil: so.. fix i | 11:46 |
| jpatrick | it* | 11:46 |
| JayC | can someone assist me? My 320GB external USB drive is only showing up as 128gb in windows AND linux | 11:47 |
| nuxil | with adept.. instrall onething.. break anothre thing | 11:47 |
| nuxil | erm | 11:47 |
| etfb | JayC: How's it formatted? FAT32, EXT3, NTFS, ...? | 11:47 |
| jpatrick | JayC: hmm, what does your BIOS show it as? | 11:47 |
| nuxil | jpatrick, im trying to install mp3 support. | 11:47 |
| nuxil | is kubuntu-restricted-extras the right pak? | 11:47 |
| jpatrick | nuxil: libxine1-ffmpeg should do that and the kubuntu-r-e too | 11:48 |
| JayC | etfb: its not | 11:48 |
| disturboresiduo | when i restart kubuntu all applicationts that aren't close are started automaticaly at new login. why | 11:48 |
| disturboresiduo | ? | 11:48 |
| jpatrick | disturboresiduo: KDE does that | 11:48 |
| jpatrick | disturboresiduo: you have to close them before logging out | 11:48 |
| etfb | JayC: ie it's a new disk? In that case, formatting it for FAT32 is the way to go. Let me see if I can find out how I did it. | 11:48 |
| JayC | jpatrick, etfb, to also clarify it has nothing to do with bios new comp..everuything like that | 11:48 |
| nuxil | but with kubuntu-restricted-extras i tryed to dl some sun jave crap and broke adept.- well i ger error now and adept wount startup.. dpkg --configure -a didnt help | 11:49 |
| JayC | etfb: its not formatted...absoloutely non-allocated | 11:49 |
| disturboresiduo | thanks | 11:49 |
| jpatrick | nuxil: tried just installing libxine2-ffmpeg? | 11:50 |
| JayC | etfb: is there any command to "Fuck this disk" and wipe it fresh new no tables nothin? | 11:51 |
| nuxil | jpatrick, jes. i try.. but adept wount let me cos kubuntu-r-e broke something.. and now nothing will install in adept. | 11:51 |

| jpatrick | nuxil: please put the console error there | 11:52 |
| nuxil | ok | 11:52 |
| etfb | JayC: Try formatting it using mkfs.vfat and see if it will let you format all 320GB of it. If it will, it was just a weirdness in the way it shows up to the bios. IF it won't, it's broken and needs repair. | 11:52 |
| jpatrick | JayC: install qtparted and format? | 11:52 |
| JayC | etfb what do you mean try formatting it with mkfs.vfat | 11:53 |
| etfb | jpatrick, JayC: yep, that'll work too. I prefer to do things on the command line, but you're not losing any data so it doesn't matter either way really. | 11:53 |

| jpatrick | nuxil: tried apt-get install -f | 11:54 |
| nuxil | yes | 11:54 |
| nuxil | didnt help | 11:54 |
| nuxil | same error | 11:55 |
| nuxil | i even trued dpkg --configure -a | 11:55 |
| jpatrick | nuxil: apt-get install sun-java6-bin? | 11:55 |
| JayC | etfb: im honestly stumped by this one....it worked in windows...asked me to set partition table in windows i used the defaults and now its fucked | 11:55 |
| nuxil | let me try | 11:55 |
| jpatrick | !language | JayC | 11:55 |
| etfb | JayC: OK, makes it easy. The Linux commands for formatting disks are all mkfs.SOMETHING, where SOMETHING is the file system you want. | 11:55 |
| ubotu | JayC: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. | 11:55 |
| etfb | JayC: (I recommend using the word "ruddocked" instead of the anglo-saxon verb. It means the same thing.) | 11:56 |
| JayC | etfb: arg give me a break... | 11:56 |
| etfb | JayC: So mkfs.vfat will format it in vfat, which Windows/DOS calls FAT32. LEt me check the syntax... | 11:56 |
| nuxil | jpatrick, yes it looks like that pak is installing | 11:56 |
| jpatrick | nuxil: yay | 11:56 |
| nuxil | :) | 11:56 |
| JayC | etfb: explained this a good 10x ive alredy formatted it fat...it just doesnt show up with 300gb | 11:57 |
| nuxil | jpatrick, it looks ok now. kubuntu -r -e looks like its installing now. ;) | 11:57 |
| jpatrick | nuxil: smashing. glad that's fixed | 11:58 |
| etfb | Sorry - I only showed up at 22:45 my time, 12 minutes ago. If you've been talking about this before, I missed it. | 11:58 |
| nuxil | jpatrick, thanks for tha help :D | 11:58 |
| jpatrick | nuxil: you're welcome | 11:58 |
| etfb | Take me through what you did. Start with taking the HD out of its plastic bag, spilling polystyrene all over the floor, and plugging it in... | 11:58 |
| JayC | etfb: i dont want to sound like a record...but ill try to explain this best i can, I dont care about what its formatted ive tried formatting it evry which way tried to format it....tried everything i can i dont care how its formatted i dont care about what OS im using this is a noobish way of putting it but i just want to see 300gb there instead of 128gb | 11:59 |
| etfb | OK - what hardware do you have to hand? One machine dual-booting Kubuntu and Windows, or two machines running one OS each, or what? Paint me a picture, here. | 12:01 |

| bobdhicks | I have a dual boot laptop. I boot from a 250gb usb drive where grub and kubuntu reside. Is it possible to access the c drive on the laptop which has Windows Vista from within Kubuntu? | 12:21 |
| posingaspopular | bobdhicks: it should be doable | 12:27 |
| posingaspopular | i don't personally know how to do it though, sorry ;/ | 12:27 |
| bobdhicks | posingaspopular: Thank you for letting me know it possible. I know where to go to be taught how to do it I just didn't want to appear too stupid there. I'm prone to ask a lot of silly questions on my learning curve | 12:29 |
| posingaspopular | silly questions are encouraged. you'll find that most linux people want to share their knowledge if people are willing to learn. my suggestion is to just ask in here again a bit later. | 12:31 |
| posingaspopular | good luck though | 12:31 |
| sigma_ | how many people +- are actually involved in developing kubuntu? | 12:32 |
| jpatrick | sigma_: depends, kubuntu team, or the whole ubuntu thing? | 12:33 |
| sigma_ | jpatrick: well how many for each? | 12:33 |
| jpatrick | sigma_: well, in the end we're both the same | 12:34 |
| sigma_ | thats true i guess, so how many on average is it? | 12:35 |
| jpatrick | sigma_: ~50 kubuntu devs | 12:35 |
| ardchoille | jpatrick: Are they paid? They shold be :) | 12:36 |
| ardchoille | *should | 12:36 |
| jpatrick | ardchoille: hehe | 12:36 |
| sigma_ | i know u told me Riddell is paid | 12:37 |
| posingaspopular | from my understanding, Canonical is moving towards paying more Kubuntu devs, but we'll see how that goes | 12:37 |
| jpatrick | sigma_: you're free to join if you want | 12:37 |
| posingaspopular | imho, they are a bit too tight with their wallets on the whole Kubuntu work | 12:37 |
| sigma_ | jpatrick: not the programming type im afraid, closest i get to that is web design, im better in implementations | 12:38 |
| jpatrick | sigma_: there are several ways to help | 12:39 |
| sigma_ | canonical could break even if they really wanted to, they don't really have to make a profit | 12:39 |
| sigma_ | jpatrick: whats on offer? i've been looking for ways to help (since my business does rely on kubuntu and kde), ive applied to be the kde press officer for south africa, but what other ways besides programming can i help kubuntu? | 12:40 |
| jpatrick | sigma_: https://wiki.kubuntu.org/HelpingKubuntu | 12:41 |

| llutz | Jeroi: add the number corresponding to the win-title entry | 14:21 |
| Jeroi | that do not work | 14:21 |
| Jeroi | linux kernel update breaks the number | 14:21 |
| carnage__ | it's pr0bably 5 | 14:21 |
| Jeroi | as it adds new boot up options before windows | 14:21 |
| carnage__ | or 4 | 14:21 |
| Tuiq | Here it was 4444 | 14:22 |
| Tuiq | -4440 | 14:22 |
| Jeroi | so If I know add 4 to that | 14:22 |
| Tuiq | Stupid mediapad | 14:22 |
| Jeroi | then next kernel update adds 2 operating systems more | 14:22 |
| carnage__ | man just put default 5 | 14:22 |

| carnage__ | no | 14:22 |

| TuxMan | OK | 14:53 |
| nosrednaekim | hdevalence: yeah... | 14:54 |
| hdevalence | yeah, the way I have it is that I have a 25GB NTFS partition (so I can't do the guided encryption option), then a 255MB /boot ext3 partition, then a 95GB encrypted volume | 14:55 |
| nosrednaekim | hdevalence: and its failing on the encrypted ext3... hmm. And I suppose you can't "preformat" because its encrypted.? | 14:56 |
| hdevalence | but you can only do one patition per encrypted volume so in order to have swap I need to set up LVM or have two encryped volumes but if I set up LVM I get the failed to create filesystem error , if I have two encryped volumes the install crashes | 14:56 |
| TuxMan | AH! #kde4-devel says they can't help me just because its Kubuntu! **** | 14:57 |

| stamen | and marry christmass to all | 15:18 |
| stamen | why the pipe is broken | 15:18 |
| Jucato | pawan_: reread it "what we're currently working on is a last release for KDE 3.5, Konversation 1.1".. "working on" means "not yet released", "in progress", etc. | 15:18 |
| white_eagle | | | 15:18 |
| pawan_ | ya | 15:18 |
| jpatrick | stamen: did you remove the older kde4 packages? | 15:18 |
| pawan_ | ur right sorry | 15:19 |
| nosrednaekim | stamen: uninstall ALL previous kde4 packages. | 15:19 |
| stamen | I think I have removed them | 15:19 |
| stamen | how to check | 15:19 |
| nosrednaekim | stamen: "kde4multimedia-data" apparently hasn't. | 15:19 |
| stamen | so I have to remove it? | 15:19 |
| nosrednaekim | stamen: just search for "3.96" for version | 15:19 |
| nosrednaekim | and remove all packages that have that version # | 15:20 |
| nosrednaekim | yes | 15:20 |
| stamen | as I understand, I have to remove my older KDE or? | 15:20 |
| nosrednaekim | no, you do not need to remove kde3 | 15:20 |
| Jeroi | My biggest wantings fro dolphin: image resizer | 15:20 |

| Jeroi | I often take images with digicam | 15:22 |

| Jeroi | or for kde | 15:32 |

| Jucato | Jeroi: search through Konqueror Service Menus in www.kde-apps.org | 15:37 |
| Jucato | sigma_: how did you install Firefox? | 15:37 |
| sigma_ | even so the K-Menu would link to the same command | 15:37 |
| sigma_ | Jucato: downloaded the deb from packages.ubuntu.com | 15:38 |
| Jucato | Jeroi: some Konqueror servicemenus could work in Dolphin | 15:38 |
| Jucato | (but not all) | 15:38 |
| Jucato | sigma_: hm... | 15:38 |
| Jucato | sigma_: when you run firefox from Konsole (command line) does it give that same error? | 15:39 |

| nosrednaekim | or the unmounter that you get when you rightclick on a device.... | 17:52 |
| hdevalence | when i push the eject button on the cdrom drive | 17:52 |

| dm | Hello. I have a usb webcam 0c45:602c which is supported by the ubuntu included gspca driver. When plugging it in the driver is loaded and /dev/video0 is created. But I get error messages when trying to use it: xawtv says "X Error of failed request: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode", camorama "Could not connect to /dev/video0". It's an ATI video card (if that matters). Any idea? | 17:58 |
| BluesKaj | dm, does the webcam driver show up in system settings/monitor & display/hardware? You may have to use admin mode to see the driver being used . | 18:03 |
| dm | BluesKaj: `lsmod` tells me it's there and uses videodev which uses v4l2_common ... | 18:05 |
| kye | whats the difference between ubuntu and kubuntu one is KDE and the other is GNOME? | 18:08 |
| jpatrick | kye: yep | 18:08 |
| kye | i just installed the kubuntu desktop and i like it.. kind of makes a lot of mess since i had ubuntu so im going to do a fresh install now.. | 18:09 |
| jpatrick | so you want just kde? | 18:09 |
| kye | what does it mean by supported until 2008? | 18:09 |
| kye | they will not making updates for it in 2008? | 18:09 |
| jpatrick | updates and security things | 18:10 |
| kye | wanted that make it rootable if they stopped? | 18:10 |
| kye | wouldnt* | 18:10 |
| jpatrick | rootable? | 18:10 |
| kye | people coming up with root kits to root a unsecured ubuntu server since there are no more updates? | 18:10 |
| kye | im just trying to understand why they would stop making security updates | 18:11 |
| jpatrick | kye: you can support something forever | 18:11 |
| sebix | anybody speak in spanish | 18:11 |
| sebix | ??? | 18:11 |
| pag | !es | sebix | 18:11 |
| ubotu | sebix: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. | 18:11 |
| kye | jpatrick, so after 2008 will they release another kubuntu with more support? | 18:12 |
| sebix | this node not run | 18:12 |
| kye | Im using ubuntu but i installed the kubuntu desktop | 18:12 |
| jpatrick | kye: yeah, you can upgrade to the next version whose support expires at a later daate | 18:13 |
| jpatrick | sebix: /join #kubuntu-es | 18:13 |
| kye | since i did that im having to reinstall everytthing like compiz-fusion | 18:13 |
| kye | so i might as well just format to kubuntu | 18:13 |
| kye | thank you very much, jpatrick! | 18:13 |
| jpatrick | kye: no problem... | 18:13 |
| pag | kye, actually you can just remove ubuntu-desktop packages and have "clean" install without reinstallation of Kubuntu. see http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purekde for more info ;) | 18:15 |
| kye | pag.. ty | 18:15 |
| kye | pag so that means i will still be running ubuntu 7.10 which is supported until 2010 i believe but will be using pure KDE | 18:18 |
| jpatrick | !purekde | kye | 18:18 |
| ubotu | kye: purekde is If you want to remove all !Gnome packages and have a default !Kubuntu system follow the instructions here « https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE » | 18:18 |
| pag | kye, you will be running a system, that is identical (assuming you havenät made any changes) to the system you'd get by installing Kubuntu 7.10 from a cd | 18:19 |
| pag | haven't I mean ;P | 18:19 |
| wers | how do i delete search history in konqueror? | 18:20 |
| pag | wers, like.. in google? | 18:21 |

| pag | wers, right click on a entry field (where you type your searches) and choose "clear history" | 18:22 |
| wers | coooooooool | 18:22 |

| Shadz | hiyas | 18:24 |
| Shadz | Merry Xmas :-) | 18:24 |
| Shadz | my friend needs to repair her comp... so I don't have time to really search.. | 18:24 |
| Shadz | does Kubuntu now support writing NTFS? | 18:24 |
| pag | Shadz, it does. I'm not sure, if it does so by default though | 18:25 |
| kye | Shadz,? dont you just mount the ntfs driver | 18:25 |
| Shadz | if not.. is it possible to install the Linux-NTFS files into it? | 18:25 |
| kye | Shadz, i mount my XP partition all the time | 18:25 |
| Shadz | well, i was using K6.04 | 18:25 |
| kye | edit fstab | 18:25 |
| stdin | it does as long as you mount as "ntfs-3g" not "ntfs" | 18:25 |
| Shadz | and before, it can only read | 18:25 |
| Shadz | oh? | 18:25 |
| stdin | ntfs-3d is the driver with write support | 18:26 |
| Shadz | what version of Kubuntu is that from? | 18:26 |
| Shadz | i don't remember seeing that | 18:26 |
| stdin | it's installed by default from feisty on | 18:26 |
| Shadz | serious?!?! | 18:26 |
| Shadz | and I've never noticed it?! | 18:26 |
| Shadz | .... | 18:26 |
| * Shadz kicks himself | 18:26 | |
| pag | stdin, it is? :O (personally I haven't noticed it, but it's just me :D ) | 18:27 |
| TheGateKeeper | ntfs-3g | 18:27 |
| stdin | pag: yeah, it's a recommends of ubuntu-standard | 18:28 |
| Shadz | ooo | 18:28 |
| Shadz | so you just mount as usual, just as NTFS-3g, instead of the normal NTFS that I'm used to? | 18:28 |
| stdin | basically, yeah | 18:28 |
| stdin | !ntfs-3g | 18:29 |
| ubotu | ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 18:29 |
| stdin | that has some examples | 18:29 |
| stdin | erm, it *did* anyway | 18:30 |
| effie_jayx | hey all .. I played a flash video on firefox, I closed firefox and now amarok won't play .. It read audio device unavailable | 18:31 |
| stdin | you can install "ntfs-config" for a gui for it (it's GTK+ but it works) | 18:31 |
| Shadz | oo | 18:31 |
| Shadz | cool | 18:31 |
| Shadz | so Kubuntu 7.04+ is also NTFS-3g compatible yes? | 18:31 |
| Shadz | I do prefer Kubuntu to Ubuntu :-P | 18:31 |
| stdin | yeah, ubuntu-standard is installed on all ubuntu variants | 18:32 |
| Shadz | woohoo! | 18:32 |
| stdin | effie_jayx: see if you can find what's blocking it with "lsof |grep /dev/dsp" | 18:32 |
| Shadz | thanks stdin, gatekeeper | 18:33 |
| trappist | or just lsof /dev/dsp | 18:33 |
| stdin | I don't know why, but sometimes that doesn't show the thing that's blocking it, but grep does... | 18:33 |
| effie_jayx | no output | 18:33 |
| stdin | try restarting amarok, I don't know if it will try to open the audio device again if it was blocked | 18:34 |
| trappist | also next time you buy a sound card, get one that does hardware mixing, like an audigy, and this won't be an issue | 18:35 |
| effie_jayx | stdin: I have restarted amarok | 18:35 |
| effie_jayx | I get the smae error | 18:35 |
| effie_jayx | trappist: not much option when It comes in a laptop ;) | 18:35 |

| padey | does anyone know how to get the old kde 2 icons for kubuntu 7.1? | 18:36 |

| Tm_T | padey: you mean hicolor or what? | 18:37 |

| trappist | awarring: can you pastebin you /etc/network/interfaces? | 18:37 |
| trappist | effie_jayx: try killing it, then restarting it | 18:37 |
| padey | I'm not sure, I was a gnome user until recently :P | 18:38 |
| pete__ | so i've heard all these things about linux being SO stable, but since I installated it last night i get constant notifications saying nsplugin viewer has crashed | 18:38 |
| effie_jayx | effie_jayx: killall ??? arts | 18:38 |
| jpatrick | effie_jayx: yes | 18:38 |
| trappist | pete__: linux is stable. not all software written for linux is automatically stable. | 18:39 |
| pete__ | i cant even open konquerer or konverstaion without kubuntu crashing | 18:39 |
| pete__ | well, i figured progs stocked wqith it would be somewhat stable | 18:39 |
| pete__ | and when i try to use the add programs app, it crashes as well | 18:39 |
| pete__ | so i have to manually install every package | 18:39 |
| Banana_Joe | hello :) i have got 1 question. how to remove the Workspace switcher in the panel? i dont need it there ;) | 18:39 |
| trappist | pete__: for most people, they are. sounds like you've got something "up" with your system. | 18:39 |
| effie_jayx | no | 18:39 |
| effie_jayx | it doesn't do it | 18:39 |
| trappist | Banana_Joe: should be able to right-click it | 18:40 |
| pete__ | um,. its dual booted with xp, xp runs great | 18:40 |
| sigma_123 | it is stable. actually more so than windows | 18:40 |
| effie_jayx | I killall artsd | 18:40 |
| trappist | effie_jayx: same error? | 18:40 |
| Cannoli | what does this error mean in fdisk | 18:40 |
| pete__ | hmmmm | 18:40 |
| Cannoli | Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary | 18:40 |
| effie_jayx | trappist: yes | 18:40 |
| pete__ | xp runs circle around kubuntu on my system | 18:40 |
| trappist | effie_jayx: and what was that error again? (I wasn't paying attention when this came up) | 18:40 |
| Pici | pete__: Do you get an error when things crash? | 18:41 |
| Banana_Joe | trappist: no i try it but i wont get away. there is no option for it | 18:41 |
| pete__ | yeah, nsplugin viewer has crashed | 18:41 |
| effie_jayx | trappist: Audio output unavailable : Device busy... in amarok... | 18:41 |
| pete__ | it happened just now while i was typing, lol | 18:41 |
| BluesKaj | pete__, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop | 18:41 |
| pete__ | and that will install kubuntu again? | 18:42 |
| BluesKaj | just the desktop | 18:42 |
| trappist | pete__: have you updated the flash player? | 18:42 |
| pete__ | yeah | 18:42 |
| trappist | pete__: I see your bug on launchpad. | 18:42 |
| trappist | pete__: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nspluginwrapper/+bug/174343 | 18:43 |
| trappist | pete__: the new flash plugin is incompatible with konqueror | 18:43 |
| pete__ | how can i uninstall it? | 18:43 |
| trappist | looks like there's a patch available to fix it. see the bug. | 18:43 |
| sigma_123 | well theres da problem right there | 18:43 |
| pete__ | ty | 18:44 |
| trappist | you'd have to rebuild some stuff though. | 18:44 |
| sigma_123 | just use da older version | 18:44 |
| pete__ | it looks like it | 18:44 |
| trappist | pete__: you can get rid of your libflashplayer.so and replace it with an older one in the mean time | 18:45 |
| pete__ | im not real familiar with linux, i thought ubuntu was easy to install/uninstall programs | 18:45 |
| effie_jayx | trappist: looks like a reboot can do... | 18:46 |
| pete__ | i could've just installed slackware, haha | 18:46 |
| effie_jayx | I can't reboot now... I am in the middle of compiling... thanks anyway | 18:46 |
| trappist | pete__: for the most part, yeah. but you get into dangerous territory when you install software without using the official software repos (like by upgrading flash :)) | 18:46 |
| effie_jayx | pete__: slack current is an option ... | 18:46 |
| pete__ | yeah, konquerer prompted me for the install | 18:46 |
| effie_jayx | pete__: use firefox... | 18:47 |
| pete__ | see, i want firefox, but it wont install | 18:47 |
| pete__ | and i cant use apt get to install it | 18:47 |
| Pici | Error? | 18:47 |
| trappist | pete__: why? it should already be installed, actually | 18:47 |
| pete__ | it isnt | 18:47 |
| pete__ | package firefox has no installation candidtae or something | 18:48 |
| jussi01 | pete__: have you updated | 18:48 |

| BluesKaj | pete__, open adept package manager, On the menu of that screen you will want to click on Adept -> Manage Repositories, click the kubuntu software tab, check all the boxes "X",m same goes for the third party software tab, close and then in the terminal "sudo apt-get update" . Now you have more sources for applications other then the defaults that came with Kubuntu. | 19:00 |

| BlowYourMind | hello there was a key combination ctrl+ <some key> that opens up a dialog box in xchat which allows me to change the color of my msg what was it? | 19:14 |
| jussi01 | SirChasm: you _may_ need to select pcm | 19:14 |
| SirChasm | jussi01: but then I'd have to have the laptop speakers muted all the time | 19:14 |
| _gtt_ | jussi01: yes. | 19:15 |
| SirChasm | there's no way for kubuntu to understand when i ahve somethign plugged into the headphone jack that this means i want all sound to come through the headphone jack? | 19:15 |

| dm | Hello. I have a usb webcam 0c45:602c which is supported by the ubuntu included gspca driver. When plugging it in the driver is loaded (says dmesg and lsmod) and /dev/video0 is created. But I get error messages when trying to use it: xawtv says "X Error of failed request: XF86DGANoDirectVideoMode", camorama "Could not connect to /dev/video0". It's an ATI video card (if that matters). Any idea? | 19:15 |
| jussi01 | SirChasm: it should understand that by default.. | 19:15 |
| LimCore | hello, how to rebuild the kernel that I have (in 7.10 amd64 bit) but exacly for my amd64 (not generic) SMP, and while aplying to it grsecurity patch? (so perhaps it will be other version like 23.9) | 19:16 |
| flaccid | SirChasm: that can sometimes be hardware switching as well ie. when you plug it in changes output from speakers to headphones | 19:16 |
| SirChasm | jussi01: then it doesn't :p Any way to force it? | 19:16 |
| SirChasm | is it maybe cause i had "headphones" plugged in from the very beginning? | 19:16 |

| Pici | ditto trappist | 19:28 |
| jussi01 | ??? | 19:28 |
| Pici | limac: What? | 19:28 |
| intelikey | if you put any trust in wikipidia articals (however the sources they provide may be good) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_computer_viruses is a good read | 19:29 |
| limac | make an object that is in front view and make a side view of the same object | 19:29 |
| limac | Pici ^ | 19:29 |
| clyadams | it says something called BLISS is the only known Linux virus | 19:29 |
| intelikey | clyadams see above ^ | 19:30 |
| trappist | limac: I'm still not sure I understand what you're asking, but since gimp is for 2d image manipulation, make an image with the appropriate dimensions and call it a side view, I guess | 19:30 |
| clyadams | it says Linux is a hostile environment for virus, they cannot survive | 19:30 |
| trappist | clyadams: it would be really hard to make a successful linux virus. it would have to exploit a vulnerability that would probably have been fixed long before the virus saw the light of day. if you keep up with your security updates you'll be in good shape. | 19:32 |
| clyadams | is there any WINE emulator that DOES allow Windows programs real well? Does Linspire, known as Lindows, work good? | 19:32 |
| limac | trappist; like for blender, you need two views for an oject 9front and a side view), so i am getting the front view from the internet, but not the same object's side view. so is there any way to make a side view of that object? | 19:32 |
| trappist | linspire uses wine. | 19:32 |
| flaccid | clyadams: all depends on the application and there is the wine db for that | 19:32 |
| trappist | limac: blender does 3d. gimp does 2d. | 19:33 |
| BluesKaj | SirChasm, alsamixer in the terminal , right arrow to "phone" , use the up arrow for a vol of about 70% , that should be sufficient. | 19:33 |

| hussain | yeahhhhhhhhhhh thx | 19:41 |
| maco | problem : kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4: Depends: kdebase-runtime-bin but it is not going to be installed | 19:41 |
| trappist | maco: don't do it! I smashed through the dependency hell and found that kde4 just isn't there yet, and had to go through a much *worse* dependency hell to make kde3 work right again. | 19:43 |
| BluesKaj | early adopters , can't wait for stability | 19:43 |
| trappist | maco: if you want to try it, grab a kde4 livecd | 19:43 |
| maco | trappist: I would like to install it on the testing machine tho | 19:43 |
| trappist | maco: with that particular dependency problem, just install what it's complaining about. in this case, sudo apt-get install kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4 kdebase-runtime-bin | 19:44 |
| TuxMan | does anyone know if there is something (kubufox) that would be like ubufox, allowing firefox to download its plugins from repo?? | 19:44 |
| maco | I have been going through dependency hell many times already - im running testing version of Ubuntu for some time now, however this is something I am not able to solve | 19:45 |
| intelikey | hussain that is not exactly "chatting dirrectly from the shell" but you run an app in the shell which you then chat in. there are several infact. irssi bitchx epic xchat-text to name some of them. | 19:45 |
| trappist | maco: the kde4 packages have a lot of dependency issues that still need to be worked out. | 19:45 |

| marc0s | flaccid: "SSL support coul not be initialized for account user@server. This is most likely because the QCA TLS plugin is not installed on your system" | 19:56 |

| intelikey | flaccid why perms on the mountpoint ? | 20:41 |
| intelikey | <flaccid> check mount options and perms on the mount point <<< i'm failing to see what the perms on the mountpoint has to do with it... sorry. unless you are talking about 'while it's mounted' that is. | 20:42 |

| ubotu | Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :) | 20:45 |
| flaccid | intelikey: they can affect the mount depending if you give options or what options you give. its a good practice to set the ownership and perms on the mount point when creating the mountpoint | 20:45 |

| intelikey | flaccid hmmm i have never noticed mountpoint perms affecting default mount options i'll have to look into that. | 20:48 |
| flaccid | its hard for me to remember exactly what but from memory it helps with mounting vfat filesystems without having to specify aditional options, just rw for example | 20:50 |
| flaccid | no uid stuff, it uses the owner iirc, but hey i could be wrong, i think its like this on bsd hard to remember | 20:51 |

| awarring | I can just yank the card out...should i disable anything other than the x-fi card? | 21:38 |

| adhi | error messege Could not enter folder /home/adhi/drive what it is. after i mount drive ntfs sda1 | 23:36 |
| Artimus | Tonren: KDE4 will be in Hardy, the next release | 23:37 |
| BluesKaj | Artimus, is that an official anouncement , cuz i haven't heard that | 23:38 |
| numpy | adhi: did you "make" the directory /home/adhi/drive ? | 23:38 |
| adhi | yez | 23:39 |
| Tonren | Artimus: So, it won't be available for Ubuntu (unless it's manually installed per-user) until April '08? | 23:39 |
| numpy | did you make it using sudo ? or your normal user? | 23:39 |
| Artimus | BluesKaj: I've got nothing to do with the Kubuntu project. Not sure where anything "official" is, it's more common knowledge, mailing list, etc | 23:39 |
| adhi | sudo | 23:39 |
| Artimus | Tonren: Assuming that's when the next release is (I really have no idea when Hardy comes out), yes | 23:40 |
| numpy | adhi: ..that means your "normal" user does not have permission to view it | 23:40 |
| Tonren | Artimus: Canonical tends to make a new release every 6 months. Since the most recent was 7.10, the next is likely 8.04. | 23:40 |
| Artimus | 8.04, yeah | 23:40 |
| Tonren | Artimus: Where can I look at a summary of some changes that will be made between KDE currenta and KDE4? | 23:40 |
| Artimus | Tonren: Good question... | 23:41 |
| Artimus | I don't think I've ever seen a complete list... I'm not sure if everything is really going to be ready. | 23:41 |
| adhi | ? Maybe.. But I don't know.. | 23:41 |
| numpy | adhi: so make a new one, or change the permissions on the existing one to allow others to view/list/write to it.. | 23:41 |
| adhi | oke | 23:41 |
| Tonren | Artimus: Hmm... what kinds of things are they working on? I mean, are they overhauling the GUI? Are they changing Qt versions? Are they changing printer support? You know--what are some of the big targets? | 23:42 |
| Artimus | There's the new Oxygen icons, a new audio/video system, little desktop widgets that replace SuperKaramba, a nice fun new KMenu (Vista menu done right, basically), updated apps | 23:42 |
| Tonren | Cool. | 23:42 |
| Artimus | Tonren: Well yeah, KDE4 uses QT4 :P | 23:42 |
| BluesKaj | Artimus, AFAIK the default desktop for Hardy's release is still KDE3 | 23:42 |
| alexbobp | I added a wireless driver with ndiswrapper. ndisgtk agrees that the driver is installed and hardware is present. ifconfig and the kubuntu network configurator don't think I have wireless hardware, even though ifconfig -a shows a wlan0. Is there a step I'm missing? | 23:42 |
| Artimus | BluesKaj: That's still a mess, not sure about the whole LTS thing | 23:42 |
| Alethes | there's also built in compositing | 23:42 |
| Alethes | for 3D desktop stuff | 23:42 |
| Tonren | Artimus: It's a shame that KDE4 came out right after the latest Ubuntu release--that means us Ubuntards have to wait almost five or six months after KDE4 comes out to actually use it "officially". | 23:42 |
| Artimus | BluesKaj: Last time I read, they were throwing around the idea of 2 CD's. Not sure what they'll actually do. | 23:43 |
| Artimus | One way or another, I will have KDE4 | 23:43 |
| Alethes | I'm gonna wait til 4.1 heh | 23:43 |
| Alethes | 4.0 is probably gonna be disappointing compared to the hype | 23:43 |
| Artimus | I have no problem reporting bugs. If something annoys me enough, I'll fix it myself. Or at least report it | 23:44 |
| BluesKaj | Artimus, well, let's hope Hardy has a bit more to offer us 64bit users | 23:44 |
| Tonren | BluesKaj: Flash 9 still doesn't work in Linux 64, does it? | 23:44 |
| numpy | its like anything.. it needs to be used, abused, and worn in, before its useful.. hell KDe3 just reached "decent" lol | 23:44 |
| Artimus | BluesKaj: Flash is going to suck no matter what, I'm sorry... As will 64-bit codecs | 23:44 |
| Artimus | Tonren: It runs as 32-bit in a wrapper... Sound becomes an issue | 23:44 |
| Tonren | Artimus: Big hassle. | 23:45 |
| Artimus | Pretty much | 23:45 |
| Tonren | Artimus: For things like web browsing, I really need my OS to "just work". | 23:45 |
| Artimus | Until flash is 64-bit, flash is going to suck under AMD64... | 23:45 |
| Artimus | Not a whole heck of a lot Ubuntu can do, or any of the distros | 23:45 |
| Artimus | This is why closed source is bad | 23:45 |
| BluesKaj | Tonren, if yer using FF , no ...seems to work ok in konq , altho I may have the older version | 23:45 |
| Tonren | BluesKaj: I use FireFox. I keep trying to switch to Konqueror or Opera, but I can't get used to them. | 23:46 |
| BluesKaj | <---has the ia32-libs installed so that could be the reason | 23:46 |
| paperfunk | konquerer sucks | 23:46 |
| Tonren | Artimus: Do XP/Vista and OS X have Flash because Macromedia actively helped MS and Apple? | 23:46 |
| paperfunk | imho :P | 23:46 |
| Tonren | Artimus: That's been confusing me, really. Why do Windows and Mac have Flash under AMD64 and Linux just doesn't? | 23:47 |
| Artimus | Because Macromedia thought it was worth their time and money? | 23:47 |
| Artimus | I've never actually tried flash under a 64-bit version of Windows. | 23:47 |
| BluesKaj | konq is a darn good browser ... it's the crappy websites that don't do HTML right that suck | 23:47 |
| Artimus | Also, is there even a 64-bit OSX? | 23:47 |
| Artimus | (I really don't know) | 23:47 |
| Artimus | Tonren: Try this for KDE4 features... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE4 | 23:48 |
| Tonren | Artimus: I assumed, but now that you mention it, it may not exist. But, what I'm asking is, did Macromedia help Microsoft with AMD64 Flash 9? Is that why Windows has it and Linux doesn't? | 23:48 |
| unix_infidel | Artimus: OS X is based off of freebsd. | 23:48 |
| unix_infidel | erm, BSD* | 23:48 |
| Artimus | Tonren: Define "help". If by help you mean "Macromedia wrote the thing themselves", then yes | 23:48 |
| Tonren | Artimus: Yeah, that's what I meant. | 23:49 |
| unix_infidel | so it would be quite easy to hack a 64-Bit Implementation. That being said, youd need 4GB + to make it work while. | 23:49 |
| unix_infidel | worthwhile* | 23:49 |
| Tonren | Artimus: It's really too bad that Linux has such generally poor 3rd-party support. | 23:49 |
| Artimus | unix_infidel: There very well may be a 64-bit Darwin. Does Apple actually *ship* one? | 23:49 |
| unix_infidel | Artimus: yupp. | 23:49 |
| Tonren | Whoa... this Wikipedia article says that they're porting KDE4 to WINDOWS? HUH? | 23:50 |
| unix_infidel | Not on their consumer line though. | 23:50 |
| Artimus | Tonren: Blame the companies... Things change quickly in the linux world, closed source can leave you in the dust. | 23:50 |
| Artimus | unix_infidel: The server or something else? | 23:50 |
| unix_infidel | Artimus: X Serve. | 23:50 |
| Artimus | Open source yo ur stuff and someone will probably eventually fix the bugs... | 23:50 |
| unix_infidel | Artimus: only if it's useful. | 23:50 |
| Artimus | If it's not useful, it's not going to get far closed source either | 23:50 |
| Tonren | Artimus: Yeah, but as long as closed source has such a stranglehold on the business world, open source will be stuck in their dust! It's a difficult stalemate. | 23:51 |
| Artimus | Tonren: That's when you fork stuff or reverse engineer it. Look at Samba. There's some open source flash plugins. Unless Adobe open sources flash, they'll always be playing catchup | 23:52 |
| Artimus | Still, works for most people with Samba... Flash is no different | 23:52 |
| Artimus | It's not like Adobe is likely to sabotage open source flash plugins like Microsoft does Samba | 23:52 |
| Tonren | Wow... it looks like KDE4 is going to be a big, awesome change. | 23:52 |
| Artimus | Tonren: Expect breakage :P | 23:52 |
| Tonren | Artimus: Of course! It's open source, after all. | 23:53 |
| SSJ_GZ | Big, awesome breakage ;) | 23:53 |
| Artimus | Tonren: I expect breakage in closed source stuff as well... Standard of quality in the business world is non-existant without support contracts... | 23:53 |
| Artimus | The only difference is in one case I have the option to take matters into my own hands. | 23:53 |
| * BluesKaj wonders if it will run on wifeys old xp pc | 23:53 | |
| SSJ_GZ | BluesKaj: Specs? | 23:54 |
| Artimus | KDE4? | 23:54 |
| Artimus | KDE4 uses less memory than KDE3, supposidly | 23:54 |
| BluesKaj | 366mhz. 256Ram | 23:54 |
| SSJ_GZ | Artimus: No, that was found to be false. It actually uses a lot more, atm | 23:54 |
| SSJ_GZ | BluesKaj: Ouch :) | 23:54 |
| BluesKaj | hehe | 23:54 |
| BluesKaj | barely runs xp | 23:54 |
| SSJ_GZ | BluesKaj: RAM is fine if you're not going to multitask too much. | 23:55 |
| Artimus | SSJ_GZ: It's actually just QT4 that does, right? As in, same app, QT4 vs 3 | 23:55 |
| fdoving | currently all versions are compiled with debugfull, taht bites. | 23:55 |
| Artimus | SSJ_GZ: Obviously, they're not the same apps anymore... | 23:55 |
| paperfunk | kde3 bogs down my quadcore with a geforce8800 | 23:55 |
| SSJ_GZ | Artimus: There's probably inefficiencies all over the stack :) | 23:55 |
| BluesKaj | SSJ_GZ, wifey just surfs. emails and plays solitaire | 23:55 |
| SSJ_GZ | BluesKaj: *Probably* won't be too horrendous, then ;) | 23:56 |
| Artimus | BluesKaj: I've got a 333mhz box with 128mb of ram. Xubuntu works well with Epiphany as a web browser | 23:56 |
| Artimus | I don't like GTK, but there's probably some light little GTK solitare app | 23:56 |
| BluesKaj | Artimus, no way will she switch to Linux ... too set in her ways ...I'm praying for the thing to die , so we can get her a more uptodate pc | 23:57 |
| BluesKaj | wifes' pc is 9yrs old ...was a real screamer on w98 when we bought it in Nov '98 :) | 23:59 |
| unix_infidel | if you're on a wpa encrypted network, people already associated with the AP see unencrypted packets right? | 23:59 |
| Tonren | Artimus: I appreciate the ability to "fix it myself" in Open Source, but practically, it's never going to happen. I just don't have the time. I like knowing that a closed source company's business and financing depends on its code being bug-free. | 23:59 |
