| ardchoille | paperfunk: ctrl+alt+f1 | 00:13 |

| Artimus | I'm guessing that worked | 00:13 |

| BluesKaj | f2 works fer me | 00:14 |
| BluesKaj | he din't ask | 00:14 |
| Artimus | ... | 00:14 |
| Artimus | I hope he at least tries "Ctrl+Alt+Del" instead of using the power button... | 00:14 |

| Artimus | hydrogen: I get more satisfaction from using the keys, personally | 00:15 |
| BluesKaj | paperfunk, to get back to the desktop ,ctrl+alt+F7 | 00:15 |
| hydrogen | apparently you need to be root to do that however | 00:15 |

| hydrogen | but its still unexpected | 00:16 |
| hydrogen | that you need root | 00:16 |
| hydrogen | to change between virtual terminals | 00:16 |
| BluesKaj | I assume paperfunk is using a terminal/TTY irc client like irssi | 00:16 |
| ardchoille | hydrogen: You don't need to be root to change tty's | 00:17 |
| numpy | welp looks like paperfunk got lost.. | 00:17 |
| hydrogen | ardchoille: yes, you do | 00:17 |
| hydrogen | try it | 00:17 |
| hydrogen | chvt 1 | 00:17 |
| hydrogen | as a user | 00:17 |
| ardchoille | hydrogen: Just tried it works fine as a user. | 00:17 |
| hydrogen | ardchoille: how did you try it? | 00:17 |
| hydrogen | you tried chvt or the keys? | 00:17 |
| ardchoille | ctrl+alt+f1 | 00:17 |
| Artimus | I get "Couldnt get a file descriptor referring to the console" | 00:17 |
| hydrogen | right | 00:18 |
| Artimus | ... | 00:18 |
| hydrogen | ardchoille: thats because the x server runs as root | 00:18 |
| Artimus | ardchoille: That's run as root | 00:18 |
| ardchoille | That's word play. Any normal user can switch tty's | 00:18 |
| Artimus | BluesKaj: If someone can't switch virtual terminals, there's a low chance they'd use irssi... | 00:18 |
| hydrogen | no | 00:18 |
| hydrogen | users can't switch ttys | 00:18 |
| hydrogen | you need root privledges | 00:18 |
| Artimus | ardchoille: No. Anyone sitting at a keyboard can | 00:18 |
| BluesKaj | hmm my Xserver sucks ..it flickers like mad | 00:18 |
| hydrogen | to switch between virtual terminals | 00:19 |
| hydrogen | and I'm surprised at that | 00:19 |
| BluesKaj | on the TTY that is | 00:19 |
| hydrogen | but it doesn't change the fact | 00:19 |
| hydrogen | that you do | 00:19 |
| Artimus | BluesKaj: Gutsy, I'm guessing? | 00:19 |
| BluesKaj | yup | 00:19 |
| Artimus | I've had some issues with it too... | 00:19 |
| Artimus | Can't remember what I did, probably some ugly hack to fix it... | 00:20 |
| Artimus | Well, editing files. Kind of ugly in the sense of "not user friendly, I wouldn't want to share this as practical advice" | 00:20 |
| BluesKaj | Artimus, well what did you do, just for curiosity's sake | 00:21 |
| TuxMan | I'm Back! that was some gooood homemade chili | 00:21 |
| Artimus | BluesKaj: I think I set vga=normal when I boot... I tried another value, but there's *ANOTHER* Gutsy bug when setting vga= that will cause blank tty's | 00:22 |
| TuxMan | dinner is always yummy at my house :-P | 00:22 |
| Artimus | I turned off the splash and quiet in grub as well.. | 00:22 |
| BluesKaj | ok, NM :) | 00:22 |
| Artimus | yeah... | 00:22 |
| Artimus | Pretty ugly | 00:22 |
| BluesKaj | splash and quiet eh ..hmm , gonna check | 00:22 |
| Artimus | Gets rid of the pretty Kubuntu boot screen, though | 00:23 |
| Artimus | Have to on my laptop... 333mhz, oh yeah... | 00:23 |
| Artimus | Anyway, I've heard of a new kernel feature that lets you only give certain root priviledges to programs. So, ping won't have to be suid root anymore... Hopefully that'll help out X as well... | 00:23 |
| hydrogen | interesting | 00:24 |
| Artimus | Right now, all of ping runs as root because it needs one little root feature. So now, it will only get permission to do that. | 00:25 |
| ardchoille | Artimus: Isn't that similar to what apparmor does? | 00:25 |

| Artimus | Lesson of the day: If you're going to tell someone how to switch to a virtual terminal, tell them that Ctrl+Alt+F7 switches back to X | 00:30 |

| Artimus | (Alt+F7 might do it, actually...) | 00:31 |

| Artimus | Just to nitpick | 00:31 |
| paperfunk | its not your fault | 00:31 |
| hydrogen | you can use ctrl though :) | 00:31 |
| Artimus | hydrogen is correct, an extra control won't hurt it... | 00:31 |
| TuxMan | ha dumb bot doesnt know automake! | 00:31 |
| paperfunk | yeah, i hate running bx in a term window | 00:31 |

| harry | BluesKaj: no, i mean the file where the sttings are kept | 00:33 |

| harry | BluesKaj: somewhere in .kde | 00:33 |
| BluesKaj | asoundrc? | 00:34 |
| Artimus | BluesKaj: It's probably the same issue... You've probably got a little 2D framebuffer driver loaded that conflicts... On my nvidia card, I used to blacklist nvidiafb (the 2D nvidia framebuffer driver) | 00:34 |
| Artimus | BluesKaj: Just for laughs... "lsmod | grep fb" | 00:34 |
| BluesKaj | no output , Artimus | 00:35 |
| Artimus | BluesKaj: I tried... Nevermind then, I've got nothing, sorry | 00:35 |
| BluesKaj | Artimus, it's ok , i'm just happy that the restricted driver runs google earth , altho very slow and clunky | 00:36 |
| TuxMan | who died? | 00:36 |
| Artimus | I recently switched boxes, I've got an old Nvidia FX5200... Works great in Google Earth. I'm really a fan of the restricted driver manager, one of the best things I've seen in a while. | 00:36 |
| TuxMan | nVidia GeForce FX 5200? | 00:37 |
| TuxMan | thats same as mine :-D | 00:37 |
| TuxMan | :-D | 00:37 |
| Artimus | Cheap card, but it's worked pretty well for me so far... | 00:37 |
| TuxMan | yeah, not too pricey, but works fine with GL | 00:38 |
| BluesKaj | yeah, the so called new proprietary advanced ati 8.43linux driver does do anything on my setup, no fgl_glxgears or DRI , nothing like Feisty | 00:38 |
| BluesKaj | err doesn't | 00:39 |
| Artimus | BluesKaj: I just ran regular glxgears on an ATI box, worked ok... | 00:39 |
| Artimus | Any idea what the difference is? | 00:39 |
| BluesKaj | yup, it works on this one , with the restricted default driver | 00:39 |
| BluesKaj | 8.37 ati | 00:40 |
| BluesKaj | I get the spinning 3D cube with fgl_glxgears , so I know the driver is almost there but not quire | 00:41 |
| Artimus | The bitterness between KDE and Kubuntu is kind of a bummer... The KDE guys seem really unhappy with all of the non-core changes that Kubuntu makes... I guess it makes sense, they probably get a lot of Kubuntu specific questions. I guess it's too optimistic to hope for better relations between the two projects... | 00:41 |
| Artimus | BluesKaj: What happens when you run regular glxgears with the later driver? | 00:41 |
| BluesKaj | Artimus, dunno | 00:41 |
| BluesKaj | if I recall , it does work | 00:42 |
| Artimus | I got 2500fps on an ATI card with the restricted drivers in Gutsy... Same as my 5200 | 00:42 |
| Artimus | Too bad the ATI card is a heck of a lot newer than my FX card | 00:42 |
| BluesKaj | getting only 1100 fps with glxgears here | 00:44 |
| Funkydan5 | I hear you can use this place for help on Dell and such..? | 00:44 |
| BluesKaj | Dell Linux/kubuntu ? | 00:44 |
| Artimus | BluesKaj: This was a brand new PCI Express card... | 00:44 |
| Artimus | I thought Dell sold regular Ubuntu... | 00:45 |
| BluesKaj | oooh | 00:45 |
| Funkydan5 | Well... They said Linux but I am not, because there is no Dell IRC Chat | 00:45 |
| Funkydan5 | And it is rather important someone helps if anyone is knowledgable in the XP area | 00:45 |
| Artimus | Funkydan5: You'd want the channel #Ubuntu | 00:45 |
| Funkydan5 | K awesome ty ty ^^ | 00:45 |

| Artimus | m1k3: Try it, if you see red lines, let me know, we'll go from there. If I should have to disconnect, let someone else know what's going on, tell them your memory is bad and you want to find out which stick is bad. They'll know how to help you. | 01:04 |

| Artimus | Ankthepot: I'd go i386 if you can... | 01:09 |
| MilitantPotato | Ankthepot: maybe .5%-1%, in a few things. | 01:09 |
| tekteen | whiteflame74: sure | 01:09 |
| Ankthepot | oh well, then i'm goin for i386 :) | 01:09 |
| tekteen | whiteflame74: what is the problem? | 01:09 |
| MilitantPotato | Did the same :P | 01:09 |
| MilitantPotato | weird. | 01:10 |
| Ankthepot | MilitantPotato: hehe :) | 01:10 |
| MilitantPotato | winecfg gave me the error: Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0". | 01:10 |
| Artimus | whiteflame74: Go ahead and ask. | 01:10 |
| MilitantPotato | Is that from lack of direct rendering? | 01:10 |
| Artimus | MilitantPotato: Does glxgears work on your box? | 01:10 |
| MilitantPotato | yep. | 01:10 |
| Artimus | Maybe... | 01:10 |
| Artimus | hmm... Let me quick look at my xorg.conf | 01:11 |
| Artimus | One second, I'm lagging a bit... I tried to load two virtual machines up in vmware at once... Swapping, horribly... | 01:11 |
| tekteen | whiteflame74: u here? | 01:11 |
| Artimus | MilitantPotato: Can you open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf? Look at the problem for a section called DRI. It probably says something like Mode 0666. Is that in there? | 01:12 |
| whiteflame74 | yeah, I'm here. I've set up Samba, and all and on the windows machine I can see the workgroup, I can see this machine, and I can see the folders but when I click on them I get a network path not found error | 01:12 |
| TuxMan | the stuff that works... works. | 01:12 |
| W8TAH | good evening folks -- having a few little oddities in my kubuntu box -- earlier today, while running Pidgin, Konversation, and adjusting the clock, ARTS Crashed reporting a CPU overload -- second or third time this has happened in the last several days, can anyone provide input on troubleshooting or repairs? | 01:12 |
| MilitantPotato | Artimus: nah, I'm using the ATI drivers w/o AIGLX | 01:12 |
| TuxMan | W8TAH: don't multitask as heavily? | 01:13 |
| Artimus | MilitantPotato: But you have 3D support? Like a Radeon 9500ish card? | 01:13 |
| MilitantPotato | yes | 01:13 |
| MilitantPotato | glxgears is working fine, 16000fps | 01:13 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: Saw that before, I disabled ARTS in the KDE control panel. I unchecked Enable Soundsystem. | 01:13 |
| tekteen | whiteflame74: r u sure u have the path for the share correct? | 01:13 |
| W8TAH | TuxMan: on a 2ghz P4 Laptop with 1gb memory -- that shouldnt be heavy | 01:14 |
| whiteflame74 | yeah.. | 01:14 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: doesnt that cause sound to fail? | 01:14 |
| Artimus | MilitantPotato: You should have that DRI line in there. It's using the built in DRI drivers, you still need the DRI line, I believe. | 01:14 |
| W8TAH | i need sound in both Pidgin and Konversation | 01:14 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: Nope, you might have trouble with running 2 or more sound applications on an older computer, though... | 01:14 |
| MilitantPotato | oh | 01:14 |
| MilitantPotato | network path error | 01:14 |
| tekteen | whiteflame74: can u pastebin the smb.conf file | 01:14 |
| MilitantPotato | I had that...give me a few to see if I can remember what I did to fix it. | 01:14 |
| MilitantPotato | whiteflame74: have you tried using gsambad? | 01:15 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: where does sound come from then, ALSA? | 01:15 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: Correct | 01:15 |
| MilitantPotato | Makes configuring samba a lot simpler | 01:15 |
| Artimus | Here's what your box looks like now | 01:15 |
| Artimus | Kopete -> Arts -> Alsa -> Speakers (basically) | 01:15 |
| Artimus | If you turn arts off, it goes Kopete -> Alsa -> Speakers | 01:15 |
| * tekteen edits samba the old fashion way | 01:15 | |
| Artimus | The problem is, if you've got an older soundcard, only one application can work with alsa at once... | 01:16 |
| MilitantPotato | whiteflame74: any chance your linux box is blocking the SMB ports? | 01:16 |
| tekteen | MilitantPotato: no | 01:16 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: thanks - -lemme look up what the card is | 01:16 |
| tekteen | MilitantPotato: he can see the shares | 01:16 |
| Artimus | MilitantPotato: By the way, I've got a really easy answer for your video issue | 01:16 |
| Artimus | MilitantPotato: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=292642 | 01:16 |
| TuxMan | yes, my comp can only use one program with ALSA at a time | 01:16 |
| W8TAH | 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) | 01:16 |
| Artimus | My Onboard AC97 works fine with multiple audio sources. | 01:17 |
| tekteen | whiteflame74: have u pastebined the /etc/samba/smb.conf file | 01:17 |
| W8TAH | outstanding | 01:17 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: thanks a bunch | 01:17 |
| whiteflame74 | tekteen um... where do you want me to past it without flooding the channel | 01:17 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: You can try turning off the soundsystem. If it doesn't work, turn it back on and ask in here again... Tell them turning off the soundsystem didn't help.. | 01:17 |
| Artimus | MilitantPotato: Hope you aren't using the Composite junk... | 01:17 |
| tekteen | !pastebin | whiteflame74 | 01:17 |
| ubotu | whiteflame74: 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) | 01:17 |
| W8TAH | kewl | 01:17 |
| W8TAH | will do | 01:18 |
| MilitantPotato | tekteen: i had a share that wasn't set to browsable and I got that error, aswell as firestarting blocking things. | 01:18 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: You might have to reboot, I'm not sure if ARTS will turn itself off | 01:18 |
| W8TAH | ok | 01:18 |
| tekteen | whiteflame74: look at MilitantPotato's post ^ | 01:18 |
| === Huahua is now known as Shely | ||
| Artimus | MilitantPotato: You get the link I sent? | 01:19 |
| MilitantPotato | Could also be a lack of an active Samba User account | 01:19 |
| whiteflame74 | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49641/ | 01:19 |
| MilitantPotato | Gsambad made samba so much easier to deal with. | 01:20 |
| tekteen | whiteflame74: do they ALL not work? | 01:20 |
| tekteen | If not which ones don't? | 01:21 |
| whiteflame74 | yes none of the folders work | 01:21 |
| TuxMan | you know those flash drives that say Windows-only or Mac-only? | 01:21 |
| dr_willis_ | Those U3 ones? | 01:21 |
| TuxMan | once I plugged one into Fedora 8 and it actually didn't work. it melted in the drive... | 01:21 |
| whiteflame74 | If linux was blocking the samba port windows shouldn't know what the folders names are right? | 01:22 |
| tekteen | whiteflame74: add 'browseable = yes' to each | 01:22 |
| TuxMan | the plastic literally melted. | 01:22 |
| tekteen | whiteflame74: yep | 01:22 |
| Artimus | Gutsy bug: Konversation should not crash while I'm in the middle of a rant | 01:22 |
| dr_willis_ | also you may need to give the users samba passwords. | 01:22 |
| D-MAN | any one know how to get wireless card working on kubuntu? | 01:23 |
| Artimus | TuxMan: Generally, the "Windows/Mac only" is for the encryption software. Every flash drive I've seen has worked fine. What kind of drive, if I may ask? | 01:23 |
| whiteflame74 | I set up samba passwords. | 01:23 |
| TuxMan | one of the Sony new ones. | 01:23 |
| Artimus | Haven't tried one of those, sorry... Must be a heck of a buggy drive | 01:23 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: Which card? | 01:24 |
| Artimus | Wouldn't recommend buying one again :P | 01:24 |
| TuxMan | ... yeah | 01:24 |
| Artimus | I have no idea what I even have. I got some 4GB drive for $30 from best buy | 01:24 |
| D-MAN | WMP54G | 01:24 |
| D-MAN | kynksys | 01:24 |
| D-MAN | lynksys | 01:24 |
| whiteflame74 | ok, let me try the browseable yes thing, thanks for all the help...... I just let kde set it all up for me... still learning the scripting stuff. | 01:24 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: did you just install it? | 01:25 |
| D-MAN | yes | 01:25 |
| dr_willis_ | The Useing samba book - is in the repos in the samba-doc pacakge - ITs worth installing and reading | 01:25 |
| Artimus | WMP54G should be an ndiswrapper card... | 01:25 |
| TuxMan | omg.. did my konsole just close? | 01:25 |
| TuxMan | nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOO! | 01:25 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: i rebooted and i now have NO sound | 01:26 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: first try to see if there is a restricted driver | 01:26 |
| W8TAH | :( | 01:26 |
| MilitantPotato | whiteflame74: this is how my folder shares look http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49642/ | 01:26 |
| D-MAN | no clue how to install ndiswrapper | 01:26 |
| TuxMan | i was compiling Qt4 and konsole just crashed. | 01:26 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: Yeah... Looks like your card only supports one source. Bummer... Let me check the settings to see if there's something that might help. Do you remember what the error message was? CPU something | 01:26 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: download ndiswrapper from sourceforge.net | 01:26 |
| Artimus | ... | 01:26 |
| Artimus | There has to be Ubuntu packages for ndiswrapper | 01:26 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: CPU Overload | 01:26 |
| D-MAN | i downloaded it yesterday | 01:26 |
| TuxMan | no wait, it didnt! | 01:26 |
| tekteen | Artimus: they never work for me | 01:27 |
| D-MAN | but no clue how to install | 01:27 |
| tekteen | Artimus: I download the latest one | 01:27 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: ok | 01:27 |
| D-MAN | very nice to actually talk to someone though | 01:27 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: open a konsole | 01:27 |
| D-MAN | wats konsole? | 01:28 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: type sudo apt-get install build-essential | 01:28 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: Let me check some bugs... I'll get back to you in a minute or two hopefully | 01:28 |
| tekteen | ok | 01:28 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: np -- thanks for the assist | 01:28 |
| BluesKaj | strange , I did a totally clean gutsy install , installed samba, then ran the network printer wizard..,smb:/ connected in konq without any other configuring | 01:28 |
| tekteen | this will be fun :-) | 01:28 |
| D-MAN | never used linux before | 01:28 |
| D-MAN | ya | 01:28 |
| D-MAN | can never figure it out | 01:29 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: click alt+f2 | 01:29 |
| BluesKaj | well, gents a buddy needs an old monitor power cord ...bbl | 01:29 |
| tekteen | then type konsole | 01:29 |
| whiteflame74 | ok... I'm back. was I supposed to restart samba after changing the conf? | 01:29 |
| tekteen | then run "sudo apt-get install build-essential" | 01:29 |
| D-MAN | im in xp right now couse cant get wirelessd to work | 01:29 |
| MilitantPotato | yes white | 01:29 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: What sound card driver are you using again? "lsmod | grep snd" should list it, amoung other things... | 01:30 |
| whiteflame74 | ok... me = idiot still learning sometimes. | 01:30 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: one moment | 01:30 |
| Artimus | Might be hda_intel | 01:30 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: do u have a way to connect the linux machine to the internet? | 01:30 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: theres a bout a dozen entries - -what would it be classified as? | 01:31 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: without wireless? | 01:31 |
| D-MAN | yes if i carry my pc to other room | 01:31 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: How about this. "lsmod | grep hda_intel". Does that list something? | 01:31 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: please do that :-) | 01:31 |
| D-MAN | kk | 01:31 |
| W8TAH | artimus nothing lists | 01:32 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: "lsmod | grep via" ??? | 01:32 |
| D-MAN | then how do i find this place again | 01:32 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: what do u mean? | 01:32 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: nada | 01:32 |
| D-MAN | took 2 days to actually find someone to talk to | 01:32 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: just come back to this chat room | 01:33 |
| W8TAH | D-MAN: lotta good people here | 01:33 |
| tekteen | #kubuntu | 01:33 |
| D-MAN | is that the site? | 01:33 |
| nosrednaekim | its the channel | 01:34 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: how did u get here?! | 01:34 |
| D-MAN | by luck i guess | 01:34 |
| W8TAH | tekteen: im guessin hes in on the java client | 01:34 |
| D-MAN | yes | 01:34 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: what java client? | 01:34 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: How about lspci? What does it list for Multimedia audio controllers? | 01:34 |
| Artimus | (Sound, audio, whatever it calls it) | 01:34 |
| W8TAH | 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801EB/ER (ICH5/ICH5R) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) | 01:35 |
| nosrednaekim | AC'97? should work fine! | 01:35 |
| D-MAN | how can i tell | 01:35 |
| tekteen | W8TAH: what java client? | 01:35 |
| D-MAN | freenode | 01:35 |
| W8TAH | i came across one some time ago - one moment lemme google | 01:35 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: r u in a web browser? | 01:35 |
| W8TAH | artimus -- i keep seeing a box pop up saying starting sound system | 01:36 |
| D-MAN | yes | 01:36 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: what website r u at? | 01:36 |
| whiteflame74 | ok, this is getting flustrating, I still can't get samba working.... | 01:36 |
| W8TAH | tekteen: http://java.freenode.net/ | 01:36 |
| D-MAN | irc.netslit.de | 01:36 |
| nosrednaekim | D-MAN: if you are running kubuntu, there is an application under "internet" called konversation that will bring you here. | 01:37 |
| W8TAH | nosrednaekim: what driver do i need for it? the restricted one? | 01:37 |
| === Schuenemann_away is now known as Schuenemann | ||
| nosrednaekim | W8TAH: you shouldn't need any special driver. | 01:37 |
| W8TAH | humm - im getting some sound | 01:37 |
| nosrednaekim | W8TAH: no sound works at all? | 01:37 |
| W8TAH | nosrednaekim: i restarted the sound system and im gettin sound | 01:38 |
| D-MAN | cool thats good to know | 01:38 |
| W8TAH | but i still had that crash last night | 01:38 |
| nosrednaekim | W8TAH: great.... | 01:38 |
| W8TAH | that im trying to avoid | 01:38 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: r u at a desktop now? | 01:38 |
| D-MAN | brb | 01:38 |
| Artimus | nosrednaekim: There's a bug... ARTS freaks out. I found some bug reports, but they only apply to VIA audio. | 01:38 |
| W8TAH | nosrednaekim: oops - -i meant this afternoon | 01:38 |
| D-MAN | movin to other room | 01:38 |
| tekteen | ok | 01:38 |
| Artimus | nosrednaekim: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/arts/+bug/66982 if you're interested. Won't help here. | 01:38 |
| W8TAH | artimus - reboot to solve or ???? | 01:38 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: Does sound work at all right now? | 01:39 |
| W8TAH | one moment lemme see | 01:39 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: im getting what appears to be full sound in konversation and partial sound in pidgin | 01:39 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: "ps aux | grep esd" | 01:42 |
| Artimus | I'm out of ideas after this... | 01:42 |
| W8TAH | its running | 01:42 |
| W8TAH | wait | 01:42 |
| W8TAH | no its not | 01:42 |
| W8TAH | sorry | 01:42 |
| Artimus | bummer | 01:42 |
| W8TAH | might not be installed - i dont know -- | 01:42 |
| nosrednaekim | so the sound driver is alsa, correct? | 01:43 |
| W8TAH | right now i think arts | 01:43 |
| W8TAH | when i turned arts off i got no sound | 01:43 |
| cuking_1 | Anybody get samba to perform well? I am getting about 1/10 the speed of nfs-kernel-server.. | 01:43 |
| tekteen | cuking_1: preform well? | 01:44 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: How many soundcards does your box have in it? Whether or not you use them, do you have more than 1? | 01:44 |
| tekteen | perform* | 01:44 |
| MilitantPotato | very well here | 01:44 |
| MilitantPotato | maxes out at my discs speed | 01:44 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: only one | 01:44 |
| Artimus | darn | 01:44 |
| cuking_1 | well I would like hmm about 4 mb/sec on a 100 network .. I get 10~11 mb/sec with nfs | 01:44 |
| cuking_1 | I can't seem to pass over about 1.2 mb/sec | 01:44 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: im on gusty if that matters | 01:45 |
| Artimus | I'm reading a German Message board at the moment, this is an exercise in futility | 01:45 |
| W8TAH | ok | 01:45 |
| Artimus | Some obscure kernel issue... I wish I knew what to tell you | 01:45 |
| W8TAH | artimus - lemme ask this -- if it happens again -- how do i restart arts? | 01:45 |
| W8TAH | /etc/init.d/artsd restart???? | 01:46 |
| cuking_1 | tekteen any ideas? | 01:46 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: "killall -9 artsd && artsd&" | 01:46 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: cool | 01:46 |
| W8TAH | thanks | 01:46 |
| tekteen | cuking_1: I have no idea | 01:46 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: Wait a second... Open up kcontrol and go to the Sound settings. | 01:46 |
| W8TAH | ok | 01:46 |
| tekteen | cuking_1: never seen the problem | 01:46 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: Then to the little Sound System section. Click on the Hardware tab. | 01:47 |
| W8TAH | done | 01:47 |
| cuking_1 | hmm what speeds do you normally get with samba? | 01:47 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: It's set to Autodetect, right? | 01:47 |
| W8TAH | yes | 01:47 |
| nosrednaekim | set that to alsa.... | 01:47 |
| W8TAH | ok | 01:47 |
| tekteen | cuking_1: more then the network hardware supports | 01:47 |
| W8TAH | any other changes? | 01:47 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: Not yet... | 01:48 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: Install the alsa-oss package... | 01:48 |
| W8TAH | ok | 01:48 |
| cuking_1 | tekteen what did you do to /etc/smb.conf? | 01:48 |
| Artimus | If it crashes again, go back in there and switch it to Open Sound System... | 01:48 |
| W8TAH | ok | 01:48 |
| Artimus | Otherwise, leave it on alsa | 01:48 |
| tekteen | cuking_1: nothing | 01:48 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: just that package? | 01:48 |
| Artimus | W8TAH: yup | 01:48 |
| Artimus | nosrednaekim: Random thought. Pidgin isn't trying to go through ARTS... | 01:49 |
| cuking_1 | tekteen ... how long would it take to transfer say a 800 mb file? | 01:49 |
| nosrednaekim | Artimus: and.... | 01:49 |
| W8TAH | Artimus: probably | 01:49 |
| tekteen | cuking_1: no idea | 01:49 |
| W8TAH | ok the install is done -- lemme reboot | 01:49 |
| tekteen | cuking_1: not long though | 01:49 |
| nosrednaekim | no need to reboot | 01:49 |
| Artimus | nosrednaekim: Think about it. His card doesn't support multiple audio sources. Pidgin is trying to directly access the card while arts is running... | 01:49 |
| tekteen | cuking_1: under 10 min | 01:49 |
| david__ | tekteen im on its me D-MAN | 01:49 |
| nosrednaekim | Artimus: hmm true,thats why you generally want to run alsa | 01:50 |
| tekteen | hey david__ | 01:50 |
| W8TAH | i keep getting the restarting sound system box | 01:50 |
| david__ | BOY DOES THIS MONITOR SUCK | 01:50 |
| cuking_1 | tekteen ... I am getting 823 mb in 1min 34 sec with nfs | 01:50 |
| nosrednaekim | david__: hey | 01:50 |
| Artimus | nosrednaekim: ALSA won't help you run more than one program at once if the card can't support it | 01:50 |
| cuking_1 | tekteen ... I was just wondering if I did something wrong when I got about 10 min with samba | 01:51 |
| nosrednaekim | Artimus: most can though. | 01:51 |
| david__ | theres anewb kid in town | 01:51 |
| tekteen | cuking_1: I do not know. I do not have that prob. | 01:51 |
| tekteen | david__: have u downloaded ndiswrapper | 01:51 |
| tekteen | ? | 01:51 |
| Artimus | nosrednaekim: I've seen many that can't, and I'm guessing if he has no sound after reboot, that means that his card can't | 01:51 |
| david__ | yes | 01:51 |
| tekteen | cuking_1: no idea. it does not sound right though. | 01:51 |
| tekteen | cuking_1: can | 01:51 |
| Artimus | nosrednaekim: I had him turn off ARTS, he had no sound at all. That means something is grabbing the soundcard, so the others wouldn't play sounds | 01:51 |
| cuking_1 | tekteen I don't need ndiswrapper but thanks. | 01:51 |
| tekteen | I help david | 01:51 |
| W8TAH | be right back guys | 01:51 |
| tekteen | cuking_1: can I help david? | 01:52 |
| cuking_1 | tekteen sure. | 01:52 |
| tekteen | david__: open a konsole | 01:52 |
| tekteen | david__: K menu > system > konsole | 01:52 |
| david__ | weres thaaaaaaaaaaaaaa | 01:52 |
| somekool | who is making KDE4 package for Kubuntu? I wish I could installed .deb file that contains compiled source with .o and everything I need to start development on KDE from freshly installed Kubuntu system | 01:52 |
| tekteen | k menu=start menu | 01:53 |
| nosrednaekim | somekool: stdin | 01:53 |

| dsmith_ | oh well :( | 03:14 |
| dandielionous | I kind of like knoppix. | 03:14 |
| dsmith_ | you like flux? | 03:14 |
| dandielionous | Don't think I've tried flux. | 03:15 |
| dsmith_ | or e17 windowmanager? | 03:15 |
| dsmith_ | btw | 03:15 |
| tekteen | david__: u here? | 03:15 |
| dandielionous | But I've tried mandriva and mandrrake | 03:15 |
| dsmith_ | !ot | 03:15 |
| ubotu | #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! | 03:15 |
| dandielionous | ty ubotu you are so correct :) | 03:15 |

| _CitizenKane_ | hello all, i was wondering if it was possible to connect to an openVPN server with knetworkmanager, i do have network-manager openvpn module installed | 03:18 |
| tekteen | CitizenKane: there is a module? | 03:18 |
| _CitizenKane_ | tekteen, maybe i shouldn't say module, a plugin maybe, let me double check | 03:20 |
| D-MAN | tekteen u ther | 03:20 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: yep | 03:20 |
| D-MAN | am i close to getting this working | 03:20 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: yes | 03:20 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: we now need to install the windows xp driver | 03:21 |
| D-MAN | i have my cd rom | 03:21 |
| _CitizenKane_ | tekteen, alright, it's the open vpn plugin for network manager and it does exist | 03:21 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: is it in the comp.? | 03:21 |
| D-MAN | yes | 03:21 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: type "cd /cdrom" | 03:22 |
| D-MAN | no such file or directory | 03:22 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: type "cd /media/cdrom" | 03:23 |
| D-MAN | same message | 03:23 |
| Gidean | Hello everyone... | 03:23 |
| D-MAN | hello | 03:24 |
| nosrednaekim | D-MAN: cd /media/cdrom0 | 03:24 |
| tekteen | nosrednaekim: thanks | 03:24 |
| nosrednaekim | hey... we don't know if it works yet ;) | 03:24 |
| D-MAN | no luck | 03:25 |
| arrrghhh | so what's the best method to get a program to run at startup? like mediatomb, knotes... | 03:25 |
| nosrednaekim | !autostart | 03:25 |
| ubotu | To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. | 03:25 |
| arrrghhh | hrm... is there a handy way to tell me what a kcontrol item is? | 03:26 |
| nosrednaekim | arrrghhh: its a module for kcontrol, which you can run by typing "kcontrol" lol | 03:26 |
| arrrghhh | uh | 03:26 |
| _CitizenKane_ | arrrghhh, kcontrol is the KDE configuration program | 03:26 |
| arrrghhh | oh... der. thanks lol | 03:26 |
| J23 | ardchoille: are u there? | 03:26 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: is there a pic. of a cd on the desktop | 03:26 |
| _CitizenKane_ | arrrghhh, you can hit alt-f2 and then type "kcontrol" | 03:26 |
| Gidean | I just installed an AGP Video card in my desktop, switched up the bios to uses it and rebooted. Unfortunatly now the screen goes black (and eventually to sleep) after running the "local boot scripts". I hear the Ubuntu login sound but no visual. Any ideas? | 03:27 |
| arrrghhh | yea i did, i feel stupid now. | 03:27 |
| _CitizenKane_ | meh, it's fine, there are always too many names in the open source world | 03:27 |
| D-MAN | dont see one | 03:27 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: take out and put back the cd | 03:28 |
| D-MAN | kk i did | 03:28 |
| D-MAN | asks wat i want to do | 03:29 |
| _CitizenKane_ | Gidean, i'm guessing X on your system is dying because of the new video card | 03:29 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: open in file manager | 03:29 |
| ardchoille | J23: I'm here | 03:29 |
| J23 | ardchoille: u r always here.. haha | 03:29 |
| J23 | ardchoille: I'm dany man =) | 03:30 |
| D-MAN | how do i do that | 03:30 |
| Gidean | citizenKane, I booted in recovery mode and ran dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and it recognized the new card.... | 03:30 |
| ardchoille | J23: :) | 03:30 |
| Gidean | I'm stumped... | 03:30 |
| oem | woah | 03:30 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: now in the konsole type "cd /media/cdrom0" | 03:30 |
| _CitizenKane_ | Gidean, what kind of video card is it? | 03:30 |
| D-MAN | how do i open in file mamnager | 03:31 |
| Gidean | this may be a dumb question but: I plugged the monitor into the card's port not the old one. this is correct, right? | 03:31 |
| _CitizenKane_ | Gidean, ya that's right | 03:31 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: nm that | 03:31 |
| _CitizenKane_ | Gidean, maybe you don't have the xserver driver package for your card installed? | 03:31 |
| Gidean | nvidia nv34 geforce fx 5200 | 03:32 |
| D-MAN | so cancel opening it | 03:32 |
| arrrghhh | would i have to restart my machine for that kcontrol-autostart package to take it's effect on kcontrol? i restarted it... nothing (and i was confused because it's normally called "KInfoCenter"...) | 03:32 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: yes | 03:32 |
| _CitizenKane_ | arrrghhh, let me check | 03:32 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: then type (in the konsole) "cd /media/cdrom0" | 03:33 |
| D-MAN | no such file or directory | 03:33 |
| BluesKaj | KInfoCenter and kcontrol are 2 different things | 03:33 |
| _CitizenKane_ | arrrghhh, in kcontrol it was there immediately after i installed it | 03:33 |
| arrrghhh | BluesKaj: they are? | 03:33 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: click the cd pic on the desktop | 03:34 |
| arrrghhh | oh der they are. what is it called then? | 03:34 |
| D-MAN | dont see one | 03:34 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: ok | 03:34 |
| _CitizenKane_ | arrrghhh, the module is called autostart manager, it's under KDE Components in kcontrol | 03:35 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: get the driver online | 03:35 |
| D-MAN | kk | 03:35 |
| D-MAN | download to desktop | 03:35 |
| tekteen | yes | 03:35 |
| somekool | after each apt-get install I get this error, could any else HELP please ? http://www.pastebin.ca/833324 | 03:35 |
| Gidean | brb | 03:36 |
| D-MAN | do i get drivers from lynksys | 03:36 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: there website | 03:37 |
| _CitizenKane_ | somekool, well that error doesn't help much, you can check the system log which is at /var/log/syslog | 03:37 |
| tekteen | what is the model of the wireless | 03:38 |

| tekteen | D-MAN: what is the model of the wireless | 03:38 |
| BluesKaj | tekteen, arrrghhh , another way to add or delete apps from auto start is copy and paste them here : kdesu konqueror /usr/share/autostart | 03:38 |
| tekteen | BluesKaj: y r u talking to me? | 03:39 |
| _CitizenKane_ | tekteen, i'm guessing his mis-tabbed ;) | 03:40 |
| tekteen | yep | 03:40 |
| BluesKaj | oops | 03:40 |
| tekteen | I did not know tab did that | 03:40 |
| D-MAN | WMP54G LINKSYS | 03:40 |
| tekteen | ok | 03:41 |
| _CitizenKane_ | tekteen, that is could mis-tab or that it auto-completed names? | 03:41 |

| cuking_1 | D-MAN I simply use the flashplugin-nonfree package | 03:44 |
| tekteen | cuking_1: it does not work | 03:44 |
| somekool | _CitizenKane_: no | 03:44 |
| D-MAN | wre do u obtain this | 03:44 |
| cuking_1 | tekteen it works for me. | 03:44 |

| D-MAN | mv missing destination file operand | 04:05 |
| etfb | crxyem: I'm given to understand that trying to mix different package systems (deb, yum, rpm, etc) is a dangerous pastime. Not sure if you're n00b or Linus in disguise, but be careful. | 04:05 |
| D-MAN | sunroofdave@yahoo.com | 04:05 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: thanks | 04:06 |
| D-MAN | thnx for your help | 04:06 |
| sfears | is there a gui to configure multiple monitors.. specifically thru an nvidia card with an svideo cable to my tv? | 04:06 |
| etfb | D-MAN: Probably should have said /msg tekteen [your message] there... | 04:06 |
| tekteen | etfb: D-MAN is not registered | 04:06 |
| tekteen | etfb: would not work | 04:07 |
| tekteen | D-MAN: bye | 04:07 |
| etfb | tekteen: Ah! Well, you just need /msg nickserv identify [some password], but I guess it's not like there are spambots harvesting #kubuntu for addresses they can't get a million other places. | 04:07 |
| Evolution2 | I keep getting this "cannot mount external drive error. and appearently I have to force it because it seems to be in generic mode. I don't have windows to do a safely remove. help please | 04:08 |
| etfb | Evolution2: Do you see any informative errors if you try dmesg in a konsole? | 04:08 |
| etfb | Evolution2: ... or cat .xsession-errors | 04:08 |
| Evolution2 | yes sir | 04:08 |
| Evolution2 | hold on | 04:08 |
| Evolution2 | its this | 04:08 |

| ubotu | Evolution2: 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) | 04:09 |
| eagles051387 | world of warcraft is working like a charm | 04:09 |
| arrrghhh | sweet, that autostart control worked... thanks! | 04:09 |
| crxyem | etfb: then there exists a way to do it , I've used alian to convert yum and rpm packages to .deb, but this is a mac osx package insaller | 04:10 |
| etfb | crxyem: Then you're more experienced than me. I was going to try using alien for something but the warnings scared me off. Not sure what distro Darwin is based on -- hang on, it's BSD, isn't it? | 04:10 |
| arrrghhh | although, is there a general one for linux? or at least ubuntu... like /usr/share/autostart would be better huh. | 04:11 |
| Thingus | eagles051387: Wine? | 04:11 |
| arrrghhh | can you just make symbolic links to that directory? | 04:12 |
| michal_ | hi people, is normal that my kubuntu is taking above 500MB of memory after start? | 04:13 |
| arrrghhh | michal_: it swaps a lot... | 04:13 |
| michal_ | it's not.. | 04:13 |
| arrrghhh | like caches to ram. | 04:13 |
| michal_ | Mem: 1035124k total, 474300k used, 560824k free, 7144k buffers | 04:13 |
| michal_ | Swap: 2000084k total, 34784k used, 1965300k free, 228056k cached | 04:13 |
| arrrghhh | it uses ram instead of swap | 04:14 |
| eagles051387 | Thingus: what bout wine | 04:14 |
| Dragnslcr | michal_- depending on what you have running, 500 MB is fairly reasonable | 04:14 |
| Evolution2 | etfb: http://pastebin.com/m6b1760fe | 04:14 |

| etfb | Evolution2: You or the OS will need to create the directory /media/[name of disk] before you can mount the drive manually | 04:15 |
| etfb | Evolution2: Back when I was having trouble with my USB drive, I did that and it was fine. Didn't need -o force either. | 04:16 |
| Dragnslcr | I have 1.5 GB used right now, but about half of that is cached | 04:16 |
| Thingus | eagles051387: Using WINE to run WoW? | 04:16 |
| Evolution2 | etfb: ok. but I have plugged in | 04:16 |
| etfb | Evolution2: But it might be worth copying stuff off and reformatting the drive, because Ubuntu got a lot fussier about broken formatting as of 7.04 | 04:16 |
| Dr_willis_ | I think someone needs to make a WowUbuntu Just to set up Wine and Wow Automaticially.... :) | 04:16 |
| bazhang | wowbuntu | 04:17 |
| crxyem | etfb yes, osx/darwin is a bsd based distro | 04:17 |
| michal_ | who's trying run wiw? | 04:17 |
| Evolution2 | etfb: so I just unplug this and create it? | 04:17 |
| michal_ | *wow | 04:17 |
| bazhang | everyone? | 04:18 |
| etfb | Evolution2: Yes. | 04:18 |
| Evolution2 | etfb: ok | 04:18 |
| arrrghhh | have fun supporting wowbuntu with all those different h/w configurations... | 04:18 |
| neville | erm, is it just me, or does gparted keep closing on its own? | 04:18 |
| etfb | Evolution2: Remember to make it generally readable, at least at first while you're fiddling with it: | 04:18 |
| etfb | Evolution2: mkdir /media/nameofdisk | 04:18 |
| etfb | Evolution2: sudo chmod 777 /media/nameofdisk | 04:18 |
| Evolution2 | etfb: I was going to do mkdir /media/nameofdisk | 04:19 |
| etfb | neville: Confucius say: when your partition editor starts crashing, consider updating your backups quick smart. | 04:19 |
| distroh0pper | lol | 04:20 |
| neville | i have nothing to backup | 04:20 |
| neville | it's just incredibly annoying | 04:20 |
| etfb | neville: Alternatively, try qtparted, the KDE-specific port. | 04:20 |
| neville | ahh, okay | 04:20 |
| neville | thanks | 04:20 |
| etfb | neville: Or cfdisk if you prefer the konsole. | 04:21 |
| eagles051387 | Thingus: yes i do | 04:21 |
| eagles051387 | Thingus: u play wow | 04:21 |
| eagles051387 | lol Dr_willis_ ill gett stareted on ur suggestion immediatley:p | 04:21 |
| Thingus | eagles051387: I thought about buying it today. | 04:25 |
| Thingus | But, decided not to. :/ | 04:25 |
| eagles051387 | Thingus: what held ya back | 04:25 |

| crxyem | michal, maybe bit vs byte | 04:27 |
| Thingus | eagles051387: I'm not much into MMOs. I tried Guild Wars a bit back... | 04:28 |

| etfb | Evolution2: It stopped when I reformatted the offending drive. | 04:28 |

| eagles051387 | kool ty | 04:29 |

| etfb | !ot | 04:29 |
| ubotu | #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! | 04:29 |
| eagles051387 | night guys | 04:30 |
| etfb | Evolution2: Which version, I meant to ask. | 04:30 |
| Evolution2 | etfb: gutsy | 04:30 |
| Evolution2 | and some hardy | 04:30 |
| neville | okay, thanks for all your help | 04:31 |
| etfb | Evolution2: Oh well, you probably ran into the same problem. Your hard disk is probably a tiny bit flaky. | 04:31 |
| neville | back after formatting | 04:31 |
| Evolution2 | oh | 04:31 |
| etfb | Evolution2: Not enough to cause problems, but enough to confuse Ubuntu. | 04:32 |
| Evolution2 | indeed | 04:32 |
| Mr_Sonoma | i've added a second hard disk (a 20 gig with windows xp home) and have jumpered to be a slave, but when the system powers up it boots directly into windows, no grub bootloader at all, shouldnt i be able to see grub since grub is loaded on the linux disk, witch is jumpered to be the master drive? | 04:33 |
| Mr_Sonoma | or did i miss something? | 04:34 |
| etfb | Mr_Sonoma: Is your BIOS overriding the jumpers? Can happen with some recent ones. | 04:34 |
| Mr_Sonoma | hmmmm havent thought that direction | 04:34 |
| Mr_Sonoma | could be | 04:35 |
| etfb | Mr_Sonoma: BIOS makers keep fiddling with things to make it "easier". Trust noone! | 04:35 |
| Mr_Sonoma | MSI ms6340 main board not real recent | 04:35 |
| crxyem | michal, the differnce between bit and byte is 8x, but it's the only thing that seems logical, as 500 is not 8x larger then 200 | 04:36 |
| sigma_123 | we need a linux bios 2go mainstream! | 04:36 |
| SJrX | Hmmmm who do I ask KDE 4 RC2 Gutsy Questions too? | 04:36 |
| sigma_123 | might as wel ask them here | 04:36 |
| SJrX | well actually problem one is that for some reason my screen resolution starts at some wierd value that is incorrect | 04:37 |
| SJrX | Problem to is that I installed the packages but none of the KDE 4 applications appear to be there | 04:37 |
| SJrX | i.e. System Settings, KRandrTray KDE4 | 04:38 |
| sigma_123 | why not try the livecd? installing it manually can b harder | 04:39 |
| sigma_123 | not to mention riskier | 04:39 |
| SJrX | hmmmm | 04:40 |
| SJrX | already installed it | 04:40 |
| SJrX | and this is a VMWare Machine, so I'm not too concerned | 04:40 |
| SJrX | as well I'm a hardened veteran. | 04:40 |
| mrtimbo | how do i move that trash bin onto the desktop | 04:42 |
| SJrX | Next question is what is the KDE4 equivilant of kicker. It seems to crash when I use KDE 3 krandrtray. | 04:43 |
| NickPresta | On the nvidia website for the latest binary driver (http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.07.html), it shows version 169.07. When I open `nvidia-settings`, I see version: 100.14.19. How does this version number compare to that on the nvidia website? I assume the nvidia driver released on Dec. 20th, isn't available in the repos yet. | 04:44 |
| NickPresta | hey ardchoille | 04:44 |
| ardchoille | hi NickPresta :) | 04:45 |
| sigma_123 | i dont get y people use kicker. its such a mission | 04:47 |
| SJrX | mission? | 04:47 |
| bazhang | kbfx is far superior | 04:47 |
| kye | In order to change the "K" button do i need a icon theme? | 04:47 |
| SJrX | is that even kde? | 04:47 |
| sigma_123 | kbfx is the alternative kmenu hey? | 04:48 |
| bazhang | in the repos so yes if you mean does it work with kde--replacement for kmenu | 04:48 |
| sigma_123 | i find it a mission because i find using actual shortcuts easier | 04:49 |
| SJrX | hmmmm I generally use konsole | 04:49 |
| sigma_123 | btt i gues it depends on wat u use it 4 | 04:50 |
| bazhang | true; useless mostly | 04:50 |
| sigma_123 | lol | 04:50 |
| sigma_123 | i remember kicker. took me about a month2figure out wat it did | 04:51 |
| bmk789 | how do i configure katapult? | 04:51 |
| bmk789 | !katapult | 04:52 |
| ubotu | katapult is the new application launcher for KDE, to be used with applications, bookmarks, and Amarok playlists. Once you have installed, hit Alt+f2 -> katapult, then hit Alt+Space, and type what you want. | 04:52 |
| sigma_123 | oops i was talking bout katapult. nt kicker | 04:52 |
| sigma_123 | !kicker | 04:53 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about kicker - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 04:53 |
| sigma_123 | what is kicker? | 04:54 |
| bazhang | http://www.kubuntuguide.org/Gutsy#Katapult_Configurations bmk789 | 04:54 |
| kye | In order to change the "K" button do i need a icon theme? | 04:54 |
| sigma_123 | katapult is wat i found 2b utterly useless | 04:55 |
| sigma_123 | i think the k button is one icon. im sure u can change it seperately | 04:56 |
| bazhang | http://www.kde-look.org/ kye | 04:56 |
| kye | but im not sure on how to change the icon... | 04:56 |
| weijianhua | hello | 04:56 |
| ardchoille | kye: iirc, it's kmenu.png , search for that image and change it | 04:57 |
| sigma_123 | yeah look there. those icons wil hav instructions but whats wrong with the k menu button? | 04:57 |
| bazhang | kye: do you have access to a prominent search engine? it took me 2 seconds to find that link :} | 04:58 |
| sigma_123 | looks beta that someones start button. lol:) | 04:58 |
| sigma_123 | i wonder how developed kde will be by the time the next microsoft release comes out | 05:01 |
| bazhang | 2012? probably pretty far along | 05:01 |
| kye | thank you | 05:01 |
| sigma_123 | it seems 2b catching up in leaps and strides | 05:01 |
| sigma_123 | actually in some aspects its already way ahead of da game | 05:02 |
| sigma_123 | at least it can run on more pcs than windows vista can:) | 05:04 |
| bmk789 | bazhang: thanks | 05:07 |
| bazhang | no worries bmk789 | 05:08 |
| bmk789 | is anyone else using an intel X3100? | 05:09 |
| paperfunk | nope | 05:13 |
| bazhang | issues bmk789? | 05:15 |
| bmk789 | bazhang: none yet, just wondering if its worth trying compiz fusion on it | 05:16 |
| bazhang | bmk789: why not? that seems to be the uber card these days :} | 05:17 |
| bmk789 | i guess ill go for it | 05:17 |
| bmk789 | "Blacklisted PCIID '8086:2a02' found" doesnt want to run | 05:20 |
| bmk789 | ok now im impressed | 05:21 |
| bmk789 | that was extremely easy | 05:21 |
| bmk789 | and works very smoothly | 05:21 |
| bmk789 | might drop my 6-7 hour battery life though | 05:21 |
| kkathman | greetings - in File management mode for Konqueror in Gutsy, where is the "Windows" menu option that allows you to split panes vertically and horizontally and thus add panes ? | 05:27 |
| kkathman | did this go away ? | 05:27 |
| bazhang | bmk789: haha on the battery life; but likely true | 05:29 |
| se7en | kkathman: view>split view or ctrl+shif+L | 05:29 |
| kkathman | se7en: In previous versions there was an option to split vertical or horizontal | 05:32 |
| kkathman | se7en: for instance if I wanted 4 panes in a 2 x 2 grid I could split left right, then split each pane top/bottom | 05:32 |
| kkathman | oh wait its under the view now?? | 05:32 |
| kkathman | hmm | 05:33 |
| kkathman | but not available in dolphin :( | 05:33 |
| se7en | kkathman: dolphin only split into left and right konqueror as often as you like | 05:34 |
| kkathman | right | 05:34 |
| momal | Anyone here set up 5.1 before? I can't seem to get my center speaker working. Speaker is pluged in and does work in windows(or if i plug it into another slot) center is turned up in alsa mixer. doesn't work playing mp3s (amarok set in 5.1) or playing dvds that are 5.1 audio. rest of speakers are fine (except rear left/right when playing mp3s) | 05:36 |
| slim_ | hello everyone, I'm having some problems with apache2 on kubuntu.... first one is: I can't seem to get apache to execute .cgi scripts, it just shows it as plain text | 05:43 |
| slim_ | my other problem involves mysql only running once then having a problem restarting... any help on either issue would be appreciated | 05:46 |
| slim_ | I am using 7.10 if that helps | 05:47 |
| slim_ | am I communicating correctly in here? | 05:50 |
| NickPresta | slim_, yeah but there appears to be no one around who can help you with apache related questions. You might want to try pastebin'ing your whole question and asking it later | 05:52 |
| slim_ | ok thank you, I wasn't sure if my messages were making it through | 05:54 |
| ardchoille | slim_: And there's always http://ubuntuforums.org | 05:54 |
| se7en | what does that error in kmail mean Recipient Rejected: Relay not allowed | 05:55 |
| slim_ | ...and google too, right? | 05:56 |
| NickPresta | slim_, as for the CGI problem, make sure you have: "AddHandler cgi-script .cgi" directive (as well as ExecCGI to the Options directive). Aside from that, I don't know much about the Apache package in the repos. | 05:56 |

| adamonline46 | Hello. I can't rip a DVD for the life of, doesn anyone have a suggestion that might help me out? | 07:13 |
| SJrX | don't commit felonies | 07:13 |
| adamonline46 | Hah, I just want to choose which machine I want to watch it on, and store the DVD itself somwhere out of the kids reach | 07:14 |
| SJrX | hmmm | 07:15 |
| SJrX | but you live in America. You elected a government which does not believe in Fair Use Rights. | 07:15 |
| ardchoille | SJrX: That's ot, please take it elsewhere | 07:15 |
| SJrX | hmmmm | 07:15 |
| adamonline46 | The funny thing about an election is that 49% of folk can disagree with the 'majority', and still be ruled by a government that's humiliated me. | 07:16 |
| adamonline46 | er, something to that effect. I just want to copy a damn DVD so _I_ can watch it. If you can help me, please do 8) | 07:16 |
| ardchoille | !dvd | 07:17 |
| ubotu | For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs | 07:17 |
| ardchoille | adamonline46: k9copy does a good job of copying dvd's | 07:17 |

| SJrX | KDE changes my screen size when I log in. Where do I change this? | 07:18 |
| hypernewbie | kcontrol | 07:19 |
| adamonline46 | ardchoille: Dang, yeah... That's what I'm using. It seems to work, but I only get sound and freezing/long-term screenshots when I try to play the ripped AVI's. Other than that, I can see it ripping, and it doesn't throw any errors. I'm going on a couple months with this issue, it just resurfaced. If anyone (or you, ardchoille) might be willing to help me beyond Ubotu calls, I'd be ever grateful 8) | 07:19 |
| SJrX | hypernewbie that doesn't seem to save ever. | 07:20 |
| SJrX | and shudder um, this is KDE 4 | 07:20 |
| ardchoille | adamonline46: I know acidrip can rip a dvd into a nice avi, maybe check out acidrip | 07:20 |
| hypernewbie | SJrX: wierd | 07:21 |
| adamonline46 | SJrX: You can look under /etc/X11/xorg.conf, and delete any screen resolutions that aren't what you want... I suspect that will 'force' a proper resolution for ya... | 07:21 |
| adamonline46 | ardchoille: I shall, thank you :) | 07:21 |
| SJrX | hmmmmm that won't work either as I need the other resolution | 07:21 |
| ardchoille | adamonline46: yw | 07:22 |
| SJrX | KDE 4 seems to render 1280x1024 backwards. | 07:22 |
| SJrX | as in it renders 1024x1280 | 07:22 |
| SJrX | and when I resize it, the Kbar doesn't move. | 07:22 |
| SJrX | which is all but useless. | 07:22 |
| adamonline46 | ardchoille: Well, it seems to be working about as much as k9copy so far... I'll let you know, if you don't mind helpin me out, should this fail 8) | 07:26 |
| ardchoille | adamonline46: I'm not much at copying dvd's, I have copied one once or twice and I know k9copy and acidrip can do it. Beyond, that I'm afraid I won't be much help. | 07:27 |
| adamonline46 | ardchoille: Very well, I appreciate it... I've got about as much experience as you :) I think I only own like 8 or so DVDs, I just decided I'd rather not have to hunt through the 'massive' pile to play the one I want; I'm a file kinda guy 8) Happy holidays, etc; thanks again 8) | 07:30 |
| ardchoille | yw :) | 07:32 |
| adamonline46 | ardchoille: <3 finally! :D | 07:36 |
| ardchoille | adamonline46: Did acidrip do it? | 07:41 |
| adamonline46 | I think so. It seems to have only ripped one episode (got family guy DVDs for xmas), but it works! I'm gonna play with it some more and make sure it's the acidrip rip that's functional, I'm almost positive it is 8) Thank again! | 07:45 |
| ardchoille | Glad it's working, play with it and you might figure out more :) | 07:47 |
| adamonline46 | Yeah, definitely... It's still actin' weird, but at least I got some video out of it... Well, I've got to put it off til tomorrow... Gnight 8) | 07:52 |

| gryc | sigra: http://linux.about.com/od/kubuntu_doc/a/kubudg35t03.htm | 08:03 |
| gryc | and with that, anyone know if there's an applet like Kxkb but for languages instead of keyboard layouts? | 08:04 |
| sigra | i dont have a login manager and not sure which package gives it..when search for it on add/remove program | 08:05 |
| jussi01 | sigra: you are on kubuntu? | 08:06 |
| sigra | yes but i installed gnome on it..and using gnome | 08:07 |
| jussi01 | sigra: it should be under system settings -> advanced -> sessions | 08:07 |
| sigra | with kdm on boot | 08:07 |
| jussi01 | sigra: #ubuntu for gnome help ;) | 08:07 |
| kraut | moin | 08:16 |
| sigra | I have question. I am only one with login to my system but when i went log out..it showed another login on the kdm...sabayon-admin? | 08:17 |
| ardchoille | sigra: sabayon? Are you using kubuntu or sabayon? | 08:21 |
| sigra | I am using kubuntu | 08:21 |
| ardchoille | sigra: At the command prompt, type: who | 08:21 |
| ardchoille | That should tell you who is logged in | 08:21 |
| sigra | i rebooted just shows me now but when i go to login window. it shows a user named sabayon-admin with a home directory of /var/run/sabayon-admin | 08:22 |
| sigra | when I do who | 08:22 |
| rbb | hi everyone | 08:26 |
| sigra | wierd. not having to give a password to open up add/remove program now either. | 08:27 |
| ardchoille | sigra: Did you happen to enable the root account? | 08:28 |
| rbb | i've got a problem. I was messing with xgl, but it didn't work and now i cannot logon. I get the kdm prompt, enter my username and then it doesnt do anything. I just get my background and nothing else | 08:28 |
| rbb | i also tried to install kde 4 rc | 08:28 |
| sigra | root dont work on my computer for somereason | 08:28 |
| sigra | never has | 08:29 |
| noaXess | !suspend | 08:29 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about suspend - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:29 |
| ardchoille | sigra: That's good, that is the way it's supposed to be | 08:29 |
| ardchoille | !xgl | rbb | 08:29 |
| ubotu | rbb: 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 | 08:29 |
| sigra | but its not asking me for password now..when i enter alot packages it used ask for | 08:29 |
| rbb | how do I delete that shit | 08:30 |
| sigra | and I have a user showing up on my list now that i have no ideal who it is | 08:30 |
| ardchoille | sigra: If you've recently input the password, it won't ask you again for a short time, the admin passwd gets cached | 08:30 |
| sigra | yeah but i rebooted and just click it and went right on in | 08:30 |
| ardchoille | rbb: Perhaps someone in #compiz-fusion can help you with xgl stuff. | 08:30 |
| ardchoille | sigra: Weird | 08:30 |
| sigra | how do i check to see if root is enabled or not? | 08:31 |
| rbb | but i DON'T need it. It has to be REMOVED. My GPU isn't supported | 08:31 |
| rbb | i can start kde manually... | 08:32 |
| rbb | (failsafe, startkde), but if it's ready, my session is closed and i get another logon prompt | 08:33 |
| ardchoille | sigra: You can do "sudo cat /etc/shadow" and the root account should be listed with a "!", (example: root:!:) instead of a "*" at the top of that file. That means the root account is locked. | 08:33 |
| rbb | how do i force xorg to start kde by default? I just installed kde 4 rc2 | 08:34 |
| yesdup | Hi all. does anyone know how to use kgpg to encrypt files. At the moment all it seems to be doing is creating an encryted copy and leaving the original free to be opened??? | 08:35 |
| sigra | there is no ! in the root string | 08:36 |
| ardchoille | yesdup: In the kgpg options, there is a setting to Shred source files and you can find that in the encrypted section of the kgpg options | 08:36 |
| ardchoille | sigra: Does it show up as "root:*:" instead? | 08:37 |
| rbb | when i do "startx" i only get a black&wite back wih an x in the middle | 08:37 |
| sigra | yes | 08:38 |
| sigra | hey i figured out why i got sabayon-admin as a user | 08:38 |
| sigra | its part of that user profile i installed i think lol | 08:38 |
| sigra | gonna remove that dont need it | 08:39 |
| ardchoille | sigra: Maybe you set that as the host when you installed? | 08:39 |
| sigra | no. I know about root..i was using fedora but jsut switch to this..I never mess with it..i use sudo | 08:39 |
| ardchoille | ok | 08:40 |
| sigra | I been using sudo | 08:40 |
| sigra | how do i turn root off? | 08:40 |
| rbb | ok , i could start KDE, but not the new 4, but the old 3.5 | 08:41 |
| ardchoille | sigra: To lock the root account: sudo passwd -l root | 08:41 |
| sigra | says password changed | 08:42 |
| ardchoille | yes | 08:42 |
| rbb | where can i find kde in my filesystem? | 08:42 |
| crazy_bus | I have a weird problem in kaffeine. When I´m watching a dvd and alt+tab to another program and come back everything inside the windows starts to shake while playing. It also continues when I pause. It sometimes stops after a few seconds and other times doesn´t is there any way to fix it? | 08:42 |
| sigra | thank you ard..now it has that mark ! | 08:43 |
| ardchoille | sigra: Good job :) | 08:43 |
| rbb | anyone? | 08:43 |
| rbb | where can i find the kde dir on my filesystem? | 08:43 |
| yesdup | Now does anyone know why i cant connect to gmail chat using jabber. i've double checked password and user name, also tried without firewall (gaurddog) i have jabber and irc ports open. Kopete says "cannot contect as service is not allowed" ??? | 08:43 |
| sigra | now figure out why amarok which was workign great..is now saying i have no plug ins and other errors. i been googling ..seems there is very bad bug with it | 08:44 |
| ardchoille | rbb: find / -type d kde | 08:44 |
| ardchoille | yesdup: I didn't know you could use jabber to connect to gmail | 08:45 |
| dhq | is there any finger print software for linux | 08:45 |
| ardchoille | yesdup: gmail is an email protocol, jabber is a chat protocol, I could be wrong, but I don't think they can connect to each other | 08:46 |
| yesdup | Opps did i read wrong some where :-( | 08:46 |
| ardchoille | yesdup: Maybe you did, or maybe you confused gmail with google talk? | 08:47 |
| yesdup | Yes i meant google talk. but i use my gmail account to access | 08:47 |
| ardchoille | yesdup: I don't think jabber can do that | 08:48 |
| yesdup | http://www.asinen.org/info/kopetetalk/ just found this quickly. | 08:49 |
| rbb | found it | 08:49 |
| rbb | bye | 08:49 |
| ardchoille | yesdup: I stand corrected. And thank you, that is information I didn't previously have. | 08:50 |
| patrick_ | Hallo! I have an ATI Mobility X1400. When I updated to the december driver release of ATI my resolution sucks. I don't get my 1600 which i had previously... any idea what could be the problem? | 08:52 |

| rioner | any one know how to comprees file using KONSOLE with split 100 MB for every parts of a file..? | 09:31 |
| ardchoille | rioner: I can only point you to the manpage for tar, I think tar can do that. | 09:32 |
| jussi01 | !tar | 09:32 |
| ubotu | Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with ark - also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression | 09:32 |
| rioner | <ardchoille> rioner: I can only point you to the manpage for tar, I think tar can do that. <<< How and where the main page ? | 09:35 |
| llutz | rioner: "man tar" in a console | 09:36 |
| jussi01 | rioner: type man tar | 09:36 |
| jussi01 | !man | 09:36 |
| ubotu | The "man" command brings up the Linux manual pages for the command you're interested in. Try "man intro" at the command line, or type man:/ in Konqueror's location bar. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 09:36 |

| ubotu | sarve: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 09:51 |
| sarve | is it possible to have both kde and gnome | 09:52 |
| corporeal | sarve: of course. | 09:52 |
| sarve | ? | 09:52 |
| corporeal | sarve: i personally install ubuntu-desktop and then apt-get install kubuntu-desktop on top of it. i get both kde3 and whatever gnome version comes with ubuntu | 09:52 |
| corporeal | sarve: if you wanna get real crazy, get ubuntu-server and apt-get install ubuntu-desktop, then xubuntu-desktop, then kubuntu-desktop. :-p | 09:53 |
| sarve | I know that i can find these information by searching google. but its fun to chat about it | 09:53 |
| corporeal | :-p | 09:53 |
| sarve | my monitor is kind of low, I'm now downloading alternate cd of ubuntu 7.10, is it possible to install kde on ubuntu later too? | 09:55 |
| sarve | i'm totally newbie on linux(kubuntu 7.04), i'm trying to learn more and then install it on my laptop | 09:55 |
| corporeal | sarve: of course it is. hehe | 09:56 |
| emilsedgh | sarve: yes its possible | 09:56 |

| sarve | i dont need to work with ipod. i just miss the apple design | 10:06 |
| sarve | cover flow, when you see album artwork in a row with refelction | 10:07 |
| Lynoure | you can see album artwork in amarok, too, but not in that variant of eyecandy | 10:07 |
| sarve | for moree info: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5c/ITunes_7.5.png/800px-ITunes_7.5.png | 10:08 |

| sarve | I remeber a link on digg.com but it doesn't convince me | 10:09 |
| Lynoure | sarve: you could write them and ask. | 10:10 |
| Lynoure | Probably one reason they don't make a linux version is that most people do not ask for one | 10:11 |

| ubotu | Ubuntubruger3: 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 | 11:40 |
| Ubuntubruger3 | thx | 11:41 |
| Ubuntubruger3 | !compiz | 11:41 |

| sarve | how can i install firefox beta on linux. I already download the zip(bz2) file | 11:42 |
| stdin | Ubuntubruger3: make sure you install "compiz-kde" and the press Alt-F2 and put in "compiz --replace" | 11:42 |
| ciao | would it work with 512 mb ram? | 11:43 |
| bazhang | sarve: it is in the repos if you want to try | 11:43 |
| stdin | ciao: kubuntu? yeah 512 is fine | 11:43 |
| ciao | compiz | 11:43 |
| bazhang | !info firefox-3.0 | 11:43 |
| ubotu | firefox-3.0: lightweight web browser based on Mozilla (Development Version). In component universe, is optional. Version 3.0~alpha8+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 1130 kB, installed size 3832 kB | 11:44 |
| stdin | ciao: depends on what graphics card | 11:44 |
| ciao | I'm already in kubuntu finally....after messing around with vista and xp | 11:44 |
| ciao | I think 5400 | 11:44 |
| stdin | ciao: nvidia or ati or what? | 11:44 |
| ciao | nvidia | 11:44 |
| stdin | ciao: as long as you install the nvidia driver, it should work fine | 11:44 |
| ciao | just installed on kubuntu | 11:44 |
| ciao | oooooook so I'll try thx | 11:45 |
| sarve | bazhang: even the beta version? | 11:45 |
| Thecks | uhmm.. | 11:45 |
| Thecks | Install the updated kdebase-bin | 11:45 |
| Thecks | Install kdebase-workspace kdebase-kde4 kdebase-runtime, note that PPAs aren't authenticated so you will likely get a warning when installing | 11:45 |
| etfb | My Alt+Tab behaviour changed after I installed (and uninstalled) Compiz. It doesn't display the icons and titles in a window, just swaps immediately to the next task even when I hold the keys down. Any idea how to get the default behaviour back? | 11:45 |
| bazhang | sarve: apparently not | 11:45 |
| Thecks | I did that, yet I don't see any new apps, and I don't see any new option in the session menu for KDE 4.. | 11:45 |
| stdin | ciao: if you installed 7.10 (gutsy), just go to System Settings -> Advanced (tab) -> Restricted Drivers and activate the driver :) | 11:45 |
| ciao | ok I'll do it | 11:46 |
| stdin | Thecks: you installed all the packages yet? | 11:46 |
| Thecks | stdin yup | 11:47 |
| Thecks | I did: sudo apt-get install kdebase-bin | 11:47 |
| Thecks | And the same for kdebase-workspace, kdebase-kde4, kdebase-runtime | 11:47 |
| stdin | Thecks: have you tried logging out and seeing what sessions are available? (or switching user and starting a new session) | 11:49 |
| Thecks | I restarted X, checked.. nothing | 11:49 |
| Thecks | Restarted system, checked.. nothing | 11:49 |
| stdin | does /usr/share/xsessions/kde4.desktop exist on your system? | 11:49 |
| Thecks | No | 11:50 |
| Thecks | @venus:/usr/share/xsessions$ ls | 11:50 |
| Thecks | gnome.desktop kde.desktop | 11:50 |
| etfb | Has anyone got compiz to work in KDE? It messed my system up completely when I tried, and I still have symptoms after removing it. Any positive experiences? | 11:50 |
| stdin | Thecks: try this "sudo apt-get install kdebase-workspace kdebase-kde4 kdebase-runtime" and see if it wants to install anything else? | 11:51 |
| Thecks | ok | 11:51 |
| Thecks | Nope.. nothing | 11:52 |
| Thecks | Reading state information... Done | 11:52 |
| Thecks | kdebase-workspace is already the newest version. | 11:52 |

| ciao | it won't let me modify ..I click on modify as root but nothing happens | 11:53 |
| Thecks | kdebase-workspace-data is already the newest version. | 11:53 |
| Thecks | kdebase-workspace-data set to manual installed. | 11:53 |
| stdin | Thecks: /usr/share/xsessions/kde4.desktop is in kdebase-workspace-data | 11:54 |
| Thecks | Then that's weird | 11:54 |
| stdin | ciao: what won't? | 11:54 |
| Thecks | It says that it is installed and is the newest version | 11:54 |
| stdin | Thecks: what version is that package? | 11:55 |
| Thecks | How do I check? | 11:55 |
| ciao | in system settings advance restricted drivers....you can tick on the drivers but only if you are root....there's a botton that says become root but it doesnt wor | 11:55 |
| ciao | k | 11:55 |
| stdin | Thecks: "apt-cache policy kdebase-workspace-data" | 11:55 |
| stdin | ciao: that's odd, try closing that down and running it directly as root by pressing Alt-F2 and putting in "kdesu systemsettings" | 11:56 |

| Thecks | I added http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy main | 11:57 |
| stdin | Thecks: and you ran "sudo apt-get update" before installing the packages? | 11:57 |
| ciao | there's an error it says control that dcopserver is installed | 11:57 |
| Thecks | stdin: No.. no I didnt :s | 11:58 |
| * Thecks hides | 11:58 | |
| stdin | Thecks: well, that's why :p, make sure you remove those old packages before installing the new ones or you'll have trouble | 11:58 |
| stdin | ciao: what's the exact error that pops up? | 11:58 |
| Thecks | So, what do I do from here? | 11:59 |
| Thecks | I've run update | 11:59 |
| ciao | it's in italian lol...so I'm translating it | 11:59 |

| ciao | ok | 11:59 |
| ciao | I did it | 11:59 |
| ciao | thanks ...it was in the right down corner | 11:59 |
| stdin | Thecks: after removing the old ones (it says how on the instructions) you just install the packages again | 11:59 |
| ciao | restricted driver icon I pressed it and ticked it | 11:59 |
| Thecks | Ok | 12:00 |
| stdin | ciao: ok, it'll install the driver then ask you to reboot. after that it should be ready to go and you can get compiz on it | 12:00 |
| ciao | I installed the driver manually first | 12:00 |
| Thecks | Thank you stdin | 12:00 |
| * Thecks gives stdin several cookies | 12:01 | |
| stdin | Thecks: no problem :) | 12:01 |
| ciao | sudo sh nvidia-blabla.run | 12:01 |
| ciao | stopping the kdm and all that | 12:01 |
| stdin | ciao: ah, well that's not the best way to do it, you'll have to reinstall the driver if there's ever a kernel update. but if it's all installed and working you can go ahead and install compiz | 12:02 |
| ciao | ok I didn't know that ..now I should wait for the next error | 12:02 |
| ciao | I'll try to install compiz...what's the easiest way? | 12:03 |

| ueila | is there a way to chat directly in terminal and not irc? I'm using irssi now....I mean like inserting the ip or something | 13:10 |
| kalorin | ueila: not really | 13:11 |
| Dragnslcr | You can telnet to the IRC server if you want to | 13:11 |
| kalorin | it'd be like asking if there's a way to surf the web in a terminal, in any case you need a client even if it's a text mode client | 13:11 |
| ueila | =( that would be awsome | 13:11 |
| Dragnslcr | It'd be a complete pain, but you're welcome to try | 13:11 |
| kalorin | its' more about the protocols than anything else | 13:12 |
| kalorin | you'd have to know how to preface joins adn parts and nick changes and all the other stuff that IRC clients do for you | 13:12 |

| Tonren | I just did a fresh install of Kubuntu 7.10. My splash graphic is not appearing on boot-up, so I can't see how far into the boot process I am. (Also it's disconcerting to see absolutely nothing happening on the screen). How do I enable my boot splash? | 13:47 |
| damir | you probably need to change x display settings | 13:48 |
| Tonren | damir: How do I do that? | 13:48 |
| damir | well, you could edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf, but you need to know what you're doing | 13:49 |
| Tonren | damir: I tend to know, but I don't know what I should change in xorg.conf to enable bootsplash. | 13:49 |
| Tonren | damir: I have a crappy integrated ATI 300Mobile graphics card, for which the restricted drivers have been enabled. Could the problem be there? | 13:49 |
| damir | hm.. possibly. did you see a bootsplash on 1st boot-up? | 13:50 |
| damir | and, does login screen look ok? | 13:50 |
| Tonren | damir: Unfortunately, I can't remember if I saw a bootsplash before they were enabled. THe login screen looks just fine, though. | 13:50 |
| Tonren | damir: My graphics driver is set to "fglrx", which I've heard awful things about. Should I try changing it to ATI? | 13:51 |
| damir | do you see a progress screen on system shut-down? | 13:51 |
| Tonren | damir: No. | 13:51 |
| === profoX_ is now known as profoX` | ||
| damir | yeah, try setting to 'ati'. but make a copy of xorg.conf before you do that. it could mess up your display | 13:52 |
| Tonren | damir: Don't worry, I know how to log in on the command line and edit xorg.conf without a GUI. No need for a backup. | 13:52 |
| Tonren | damir: Should I just restart X or completely shut down? The problem areas seemed to be with startup & shutdown, but it's kind of a hassle. | 13:52 |
| damir | for start, just restart x-server and see if your login screen is ok | 13:53 |
| damir | after setting to ati | 13:53 |
| Tonren | damir: Okey doke. Here goes. | 13:53 |
| damir | one more think | 13:53 |
| damir | thing | 13:53 |
| damir | will you know how to revert changes if your screen is messed up or your x-server doesn't wake up? | 13:53 |
| Tonren | damir: Okay, my login screen is fine. | 13:54 |
| damir | cool :) | 13:55 |
| Tonren | damir: I'm IRC'ing on a screen'd irssi session on Ctrl + Alt + F1's terminal right now. :-P | 13:55 |
| Tonren | damir: I guess I'll try restarting now. | 13:55 |
| damir | k, good luck | 13:55 |
| Tonren | Thanks! I'll be back to bellyache if it doesn't work. :D | 13:55 |
| Tonren | damir: No dice. :-\ | 14:02 |
| Sanne | Tonren: you could disable it altogether and at least get the normal text boot messages | 14:02 |
| damir | try setting driver to 'vesa' just to see if it's really a driver issue | 14:02 |
| Tonren | Sanne: Naw, I'd rather figure out what's wrong and get the shiny boot splash. | 14:03 |
| Tonren | damir: Good idea. A moment, though; I'm going to Google for a second, and check the logs too. | 14:03 |
| Sanne | Tonren: ok, good hunt :) | 14:03 |
| fairman | Hi, i need support for right settings resolutions and frequency on my monitor. Corresponding part of xorg.conf is here - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49682/. I can use only the resolution 800x600 ... why? When i set the "driver" to "nv" instead of "nvidia" it is ok, but i can not use openGL support | 14:04 |
| noaXess | is there a kde mounting tool, that really mounts the networkshare ot any given mount.point? so i can access it over different app? | 14:05 |
| Sanne | Tonren: two bugs, might be related, might want to look over them: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-default-settings/+bug/90242 | 14:05 |
| Sanne | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kubuntu-default-settings/+bug/156225 | 14:05 |
| Tonren | Sanne: Oh god... The "ati" driver's performance is AWFUL compared to "fglrx". | 14:05 |
| noaXess | i can manually mount a windows share to any mount point, eg. /home/user/server/share-name.. but a gui will be nice? | 14:05 |
| Tonren | Sanne: Dear god... the fix might be a CUSTOM KERNEL?! | 14:06 |
| Sanne | Tonren: dunno, just found those bugs and thought they might help you in some way :) | 14:07 |
| Tonren | Sanne: Haha, thanks. I sure hope I don't need to compile my own kernel. | 14:07 |
| Tonren | Maybe if I just reinstall or reconfigure the bootsplash package... | 14:07 |
| Sanne | Tonren: before doing that I really would just turn the splash off ;) | 14:07 |
| Sanne | Tonren: before compiling a kernel, I mean | 14:08 |
| Tonren | Sanne: Didn't your grampa tell you to never give up? ;P | 14:08 |
| Baldrun | has anyone acl working under kubuntu? | 14:08 |
| Sanne | Tonren: haha... *I* turned that darn thing off right away, I *want* to see the boot messages ;) | 14:09 |
| Tonren | Sanne: I used to feel that way, but I prefer the terse, shiny startup screen now. If something goes wrong, I just check the logs. | 14:09 |
| Sanne | Tonren: in that case, I wouldn't give up either, but if it's a known bug and you got bitten by it, you might need to build a kernel. So there ;) | 14:10 |
| Tonren | Sanne: True, true. | 14:11 |
| Sanne | :) | 14:11 |
| noaXess | any idea? a gui for handling mount points and add diffrent mount point like a network share? | 14:12 |

| noaXess | adding a network share over dolphin works, with the same settings.. but then no mount point will be created.. | 14:23 |
| Tonren | Damn. | 14:24 |
| Tonren | Arrgh! How could this really need a custom-compiled kernel!? | 14:33 |
| Sanne | Because it's a bug? | 14:34 |
| Tonren | For some reason, every Ubuntu update breaks something on my laptop. | 14:34 |
| Tonren | On 6.10, my scanner GUIs stopped working. 7.04? Compiz crapped out. (though that's not really surprising.) Now, my bootsplash is gone. | 14:35 |

| kkathman | lol | 17:04 |
| FOAD | jhutchins_wk: sadly it's all about editing fstab, which is exactly what I am not after... | 17:07 |
| kkathman | FOAD I assume your USB drives are windows/FAT drives ? | 17:10 |
| kkathman | because if they are linux drives they WILL automatically mount | 17:10 |
| FOAD | No, ext3. | 17:10 |
| FOAD | kkathman: well, obviously you are wrong. | 17:10 |
| kkathman | then you are doing something wrong, because I have one that I mount everyday | 17:10 |
| FOAD | Because they WON'T. | 17:11 |
| kkathman | no Im not I | 17:11 |
| FOAD | Fine, I'm doing something. | 17:11 |
| FOAD | But what? | 17:11 |
| FOAD | This is a fresh 7.10 install. | 17:11 |
| FOAD | Of Kubuntu. | 17:11 |
| FOAD | Something wrong, that is. | 17:11 |
| kkathman | yes, because this one does not a problem whatsoever | 17:11 |
| FOAD | Ok, we've established that you have no problem. | 17:11 |
| kkathman | now windows ones will not | 17:11 |
| FOAD | However I do. | 17:11 |
| FOAD | And again, if I do unplug/plug a device once in the desktop, they all show up. | 17:12 |
| kkathman | now I will say that under ubuntu/kubuntu they auto-mount, but on my openSUSE system they do not - I have to manually issue a mount command | 17:12 |
| FOAD | Not mounted though. | 17:13 |
| kkathman | if you can see them using fdisk -l usually they show up as sdb or sdc or something | 17:13 |
| kkathman | then just issue the mount command on it | 17:13 |

| === ubuntu is now known as Condoulo | ||
| kkathman | FOAD I wonder if there was something that you might have inadvertantly done to disable auto-mount? | 17:16 |
| kkathman | I haven't researched if thats possible | 17:16 |
| FOAD | I suppose so. It's never worked since installing, though. | 17:17 |
| kkathman | FOAD you could probably test it by plugging in a thumbdrive perhaps - if that doesnt auto mount, then thats the problem | 17:17 |
| FOAD | Oh, it automounts fine. | 17:17 |
| FOAD | I lie. | 17:17 |
| Condoulo | how would I install ATI drivers on Kubuntu 7.04? | 17:18 |
| FOAD | It appears on the desktop, but it does not get mounted. | 17:18 |
| FOAD | Now, I can check "Mount automaticall" in Properties. | 17:18 |
| FOAD | And then it does mount automatically when I replug it. | 17:19 |
| FOAD | But I've already checked that for all my other drives. | 17:19 |
| FOAD | And I still get nothing on starting X. | 17:19 |

| sourcemaker | is there a log file for kernel panics? | 17:23 |
| FOAD | jussi01: that only looks in fstab and as I think I said, I do not want to enter these drives in fstab. | 17:23 |
| FOAD | jussi01: okay, !paste it is, if need be. | 17:24 |
| jussi01 | FOAD: sorry if I mised something. but why do you not want them in fstab? | 17:26 |
| FOAD | jussi01: because it is not necessarily true that all, or any, of these drives are present when I boot. | 17:26 |
| jussi01 | FOAD: ahh, these are external dirves? | 17:26 |

| sigma_123 | 64bit is really all hype. the performance improvement is fractional. nothing rely 2write home about | 18:22 |
| Dragnslcr | Unless you have 4+ GB of memory, 64-bit usually isn't needed | 18:24 |
| sigma_123 | wats so special bout more than 4gb memory? | 18:25 |
| monteslu | Dragnslcr, I have exactly 4gigs of ram | 18:26 |
| Dragnslcr | monteslu- you'd get a little improvement out of 64-bit then | 18:26 |

| Dragnslcr | monteslu- In theory, 32-bit systems can address 4 GB of memory, but I think in practice it tops out at 3.5 or so | 18:28 |
| monteslu | regardless of cpu count? | 18:28 |

| maek | when you use firefox in kde does it use gtk stuff when you save files and such? | 18:29 |
| kye | is the only fix to showing mounted /media/ on the desktop changing the X-KDE-Kded-phase=1 to phase=0 : this fix shows both partitions of the driver on the HD however your not able to rename them? | 18:29 |
| ardchoille | maek: Yes, the gtk open/save dialogs are used | 18:30 |
| maek | ardchoille: thanks again. I find my self using gnome but im using k3b and amarok and im amazed at the quality so I figure I should give kde a go but im worried about a few things. the last time I used kopete I didnt really like it and Im wondering about gtk based thigns, like firefox, I assume its still usable. | 18:32 |
| jussi01 | maek: of course | 18:32 |
| ardchoille | maek: gnome/gtk apps run quite well in kde, and I feel kde is the best de around :) | 18:32 |
| Alethes | there's kgtk to make some gtk apps use the kde file dialog | 18:33 |
| Alethes | and there's qtcurve for kde and gtk if you want to have the exact same look for all your apps. (There's also gtk-qt, but it's not as good). | 18:33 |
| maek | Alethes: thanks. does that work with firefox? thats the only gtk app i can think ill need. | 18:34 |
| Alethes | kgtk works with firefox | 18:34 |
| Alethes | qtcurve works with any gtk and kde apps | 18:34 |
| hydrogen | you could just not use firefox | 18:34 |
| sourcemaker | is there a reason... not to use reiserfs4? | 18:34 |

| maek | sourcemaker: support may not last seen as how he is on trail for murder | 18:35 |

| sourcemaker | hydrogen: great ... :-) | 18:35 |
| maek | hydrogen: I need firefox plugins | 18:35 |
| Alethes | extensions or plugins? | 18:36 |
| Condoulo | ok, when I try to upgrade from 7.04 to 7.10, I am following the instructions, but it won't open the Manage Repositories Window. | 18:36 |
| hydrogen | maek: "need"? | 18:36 |
| maek | hydrogen: well maybe want ;) | 18:36 |
| BluesKaj | the creator will have lotsa time in jail to work on improving it | 18:37 |
| Alethes | haha | 18:37 |
| maek | Alethes: extensions | 18:37 |
| Alethes | ah | 18:37 |
| hydrogen | which ones? | 18:37 |
| hydrogen | most browsers manage to ship better versions of the popular extensions with the browser | 18:37 |
| maek | ok, ill give konqurer a try, I never thought to see if I could reproduce my firefox usage in it. | 18:38 |
| cheguevara_ | lol yeah they should give Hans a PC in jain | 18:38 |

| DarkTan | does a server need a different distro than a laptop/desktop? | 18:39 |
| jussi01 | DarkTan: there is a specific ubuntu server install | 18:39 |
| DarkTan | ok, maybe that was the problem i was having | 18:39 |
| hydrogen | dobutful | 18:40 |
| DarkTan | i use an IBM Netfinity 5600 server as a regular desktop and the DVD won't boot on the server, it boots on the laptop tho. and the server will boot my windows disks | 18:40 |
| jussi01 | DarkTan: go try the actual server install disk? | 18:41 |
| DarkTan | i never looked for it cause i wasn't useing it like a server, i didn't think it mattered | 18:41 |
| DarkTan | i'm going to check that tho | 18:42 |
| hydrogen | the disk shouldn't matter | 18:43 |
| hydrogen | the server install doesn't install the desktop | 18:43 |
| hydrogen | so | 18:43 |
| hydrogen | you probably don't want that | 18:43 |
| DarkTan | ok | 18:43 |

| monteslu | cheguevara_, putting the lib where it needs to be breaks konqueror? | 19:26 |

| intelikey | a kernel panic is a very serious event. and for the kernel to write anuthing to a media in a paniced state could destroy anything from the mbr/partition table to the nvram | 20:30 |
| TimS | !d3lphin | 20:31 |
| ubotu | Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon.

| BluesKaj | dorkface, is your crossover cable connected ? | 23:14 |
| dorkface | not as of this moment, but I could in a second | 23:15 |
| dorkface | it's right next to me | 23:15 |
| BluesKaj | dorkface, try the connection, then open System Menu/Storage Media | 23:17 |
| dorkface | BluesKaj: on it | 23:18 |
| sam1 | @Exploit Want to change the ownership of a file? | 23:20 |
| dorkface | BluesKaj: Can't seem to find the system menu, there is no "Storage Media" option in the kicker menu | 23:20 |
| BluesKaj | dorkface, it's in dolphin , or the icon that has a screen and computerbox beside it, in the panel | 23:21 |
| dorkface | oh, ok | 23:22 |
| dorkface | BluesKaj: done and done | 23:22 |
| BluesKaj | what does the file show ? | 23:23 |
| dorkface | there are four drives, which I assume are my partitions | 23:23 |
| BluesKaj | dorkface, you may have to relogin or reboot | 23:24 |
| dorkface | BluesKaj: ok | 23:24 |
| dorkface | brb | 23:24 |
| BluesKaj | then try again | 23:24 |

| Xcell | sry | 23:30 |
| BluesKaj | dorkface, i wonder if installing ntfs-config will help , it provides read/write permissions for ntfs drives | 23:31 |
| dorkface | BluesKaj: ah, installing now | 23:32 |
| Xcell | what would be a solution to repair that? | 23:33 |
| dorkface | BluesKaj: Should I restart again? | 23:33 |
| BluesKaj | it'll be in kmenu ' system" | 23:33 |

| dorkface | BluesKaj: I allowed write support for external device (the other option was grayed out), and I still see 4 hard drives | 23:36 |
| MagicDuck | the plugins are things like a tab bar, a python browser, etc | 23:36 |
| yssnnn | ?? | 23:37 |
| MagicDuck | when I go to /usr/share/apps/kate/plugins, I can see them there and they all contain a ui.rc file | 23:37 |
| BluesKaj | dorkface, check system settings/advanced/disk&filesystems ...maybe it's listed there | 23:37 |
| sigra | Linux is new world order and De Facto of future desktop computers! | 23:38 |
| dorkface | BluesKaj: I still only see local items on it, nothing with ntfs on it | 23:39 |

| MagicDuck | did you find it | 23:47 |
| DarkTan | ok, i have no idea, this is actually the first time i've run linux | 23:47 |
| adz21c | nado: does it need to be kde? could it not be a lighter environment? | 23:47 |
| MagicDuck | ok | 23:47 |
| MagicDuck | you need a text editor | 23:47 |
| DarkTan | i have to write this stuff down, i'm dual booting with XP | 23:48 |

| DarkTan | ok | 23:49 |
| adz21c | nado: i don;t really look into other environments apart from KDE and Gnome myself but i think xfce is supposed to be more lightweight, see xubuntu i think | 23:49 |
| BluesKaj | giuseppe, use the gui version it's much easier | 23:49 |
| nado | adz21c: thanks, will try that | 23:49 |
