Triggernow we are trying safe graphics mode00:27
Triggerand its installing in safe gfx mode XD00:28
padeythere is no such thing as quade core 8800 :/00:28
Triggeri just explained taht00:28
padeyquad*00:28
Triggeri said it was quad intel 2.4 ghz00:28
Triggerand single 8800000:28
Triggeralthough sli 4 ways with 8800 would be epic XD00:28
padeyoh, got it now :P00:29
padeymissunderstood00:29
Triggertekteen no i'm not00:29
tekteenok00:29
Triggerand it won't let me message you back in XD00:29
tekteenI know someone alot like u00:29
Triggerlol ignorant and attempting things way over his level of comprehension?00:29
Triggeryay gui! XD00:30
Triggernow i should probably ditch whinedows on my laptop >.<00:30
tekteenTrigger: I have a dual boot00:31
Triggerlol i dunno why i dislike windows so much these days but, the more time goes on the more i dislike it00:31
Triggerany particular reason for dual booting?00:31
tekteenTrigger: I have not used windows since I bought my laptop00:31
tekteenTrigger:1 month00:32
Triggerout of curiosity are there any linux districts that offer more battery life then windows?00:32
tekteenTrigger: I still have it though00:32
the-erm... if you're not a gamer, and you're comfortable with linux, then having windows on a machine is a waste of time.00:32
Triggerlol unfortunately i'm a gamer00:33
Triggeralthough i don't know for how much longer on my laptop XD00:33
Triggerits good but, laptops go out of date for gaming fairly fast00:33
padeywhat kind of games do you play?00:33
Triggerright now oblivion, fear, guild wars00:34
padeymost 3d shooters are playable on linux00:34
tekteenNeed to go. Dad is showing me how to install rhel on a server00:34
padeythose are some heavy games for a laptop :O00:34
Triggerhm doesn't wine offer playing windows games without a lose of performance?00:34
Trigger: D00:34
Triggeri got this laptop a year ago00:34
Triggerbut, i got it pretty good00:34
Triggeralthough now you can get the same thing for 1k less >><00:35
Triggerdual core 2.16 ghz proccessors 2 gig ram and mobile 1600 ati card00:35
Trigger100 gig hard drive00:35
padeythat's actually pretty good00:35
Triggeron a 15 inch moniter XD00:35
Triggeryeah i know its still up to date00:36
Triggerbut, now you can get the same rig for 1500 or so00:36
Triggerinstead of the 2600 i paid XD00:36
padeyI wouldn't really rely on wine for my games00:36
Triggerbut, i got it for college >.<00:36
the-ermCoding is my game.00:36
Triggerbut, i now have a huge inferiority complex >.<00:36
the-ermOk .. solitare.00:37
Triggerdespite my laptop being pretty good00:37
Triggermy bro has 2.4 ghz quad core00:37
Trigger8800 oced out the box gfx card00:37
Triggerwhich is something i find stupid00:37
Triggerbut, it was the cheapest one XD00:37
the-ermI wouldn't mind owing a laptop00:37
TriggerI just fail to see how something bought from the factory can be bought 'pre over clocked'00:37
Triggersince the factory determines the clock speed to begin with XD00:38
the-ermEven a cheapo $500 laptop with wi-fi would be nice.00:38
jhutchinsTrigger Should be pretty obvious.00:38
Triggerlol yeah00:38
Triggeri suppose00:38
jhutchinsTrigger: The factory that makes the chips is not the factory that makes teh computer.00:38
Triggerlol my brother bought the gfx card seperate though00:38
Triggerand when he bought it he bought it "over clocked"00:39
jhutchinsTrigger: You're not buying Intell laptops, and even if you were they wouldn't be the same.00:39
Triggerwait00:39
jhutchinsYes, I saw that.00:39
shadowhywindhay all i just did a fresh install of kubuntu and tried to install firefox, but all that is showing up is 1.5pre is there anyway to update that?00:39
Triggerwe are talking about an 8800 desktop00:39
jhutchinsA few companies do that, offer an overclocked chip.  Some even sell the overclocked chip as actually being a faster chip.00:40
padeyyupp, try checking all of the repo boxes00:40
Triggerwell i could understand them saying "selling faster chip"00:40
Triggerbut, to me it just seems a bit illogical to say its "over clocked"00:40
jhutchinsTrigger: How about if we go back on-topic, or to #kubuntu-offtopic?00:40
Triggeroh sorry >.<00:40
Triggerright now i'm just waiting on kubuntu to finish installing00:41
Triggeri'll be quiet till i have another problem or need more assistence00:41

AmyRoseHi MrGreencastle02:07
MrGreencastleHelp, I want to try out rc2 of KDE 4. I'm on ubuntu 7.10 and have added the repo. I get a "trying to overwrite `/usr/bin/kdebugdialog', which is also in package kdebase-bin"        (Copy-pasted)02:07
keenan_the_duckdo you know the difference between hda and sda?02:07
MrGreencastleHehe. hi02:07
intelikeykeenan_the_duck slightly02:07
* AmyRose has never seen MrGreencastle before in her life =P02:07
intelikeykeenan_the_duck so what am i missing here ?02:08
keenan_the_duckI'm trying to mount my Windows partition, but I'm not sure how to edit the fstab file, because I don't know which one is the Windows partition02:08
intelikeybtw i did check hd[a-d] just to make sure it was hda02:09
intelikeykeenan_the_duck cat /proc/partitions    or sudo fdisk -l02:09
keenan_the_duckI'm sort of a noob, I can't help you02:09
MrGreencastleAny ideas? I am unable to use apt at all.02:09
intelikeysok  i can help you.02:09
AmyRoseMrGreencastle: OK, what package is failing to install?02:09
AmyRoseYou didn't give us that info02:09
MrGreencastleOh sorry02:10
MrGreencastleOne sec, lemme run it again02:10
keenan_the_duckohh, cool02:10
AmyRoseMrGreencastle: Please. :)02:10
intelikeyAmyRose looks like kdebase-bin  from his error message02:10
MrGreencastlekdebase-runtime-bin-kde402:10
AmyRoseintelikey: No, that's the one that's already installed that's preventing the one from installing02:10
intelikeyyes i see that now.02:11
MrGreencastleI just needa way to get rid of it. Thats what its yelling at me about02:11
AmyRoseMrGreencastle: There is a way to force it to install anyway, but we'd prefer to avoid that02:11
MrGreencastleI didn't do that - didn't want it to break further02:12
AmyRoseI know02:12
intelikeyMrGreencastle if you just need a reset, close the kde4 repos and   "sudo apt-get remove --purge kde* && sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop "02:13
AmyRoseintelikey: Wouldn't that screw it up if you're running KDE?02:13
MrGreencastleI'm not running KDE, I'm using Gnome02:13
MrGreencastleI want to test out the rc2 of Kde402:14
intelikeyso in the grub shell    grub> install (hd0,0)    should setup hda1 as the grub root   no?02:14
MrGreencastleI'm not a kde user by any means. But it looks very intriguing02:14
intelikeyAmyRose no. the inram copy would remain until the process was complete anyway.02:14
AmyRoseMrGreencastle: Oh, OK, then intelikey's method would be perfectly safe for you.02:14
* AmyRose is a DEVOTED KDE user02:14
intelikeystdin_ just the grubby fellow i'm looking for.02:15
AmyRoseintelikey: It would give me problems since I install the full version of KDE, not just Kubuntu's stripped version02:15
MrGreencastleI actually prefer KDE, but am so used to Gnome that I was really waiting for a release candidate of kde 4 to switch02:15
=== stdin_ is now known as stdin
intelikeyAmyRose you could change the last word to kde and it whould work.02:15
AmyRoseMrGreencastle: How did you get used to GNOME?02:15

intelikeyDr_willis or a wheel chair02:16
Dr_willisbut wearing nice gloves. :)02:16
AmyRoseMrGreencastle: Sure02:16
AmyRoseMrGreencastle: Your problem seems to be caused by a package conflict between KDE 3 and KDE 402:16
MrGreencastleYeah, but I can't even remove kde 302:17
MrGreencastleWhere I'm at now02:18
intelikeyi really do need to get grub installed on that lappy before i give it back to the owner...    nobody have clue-by-four for me ?02:18
AmyRoseMrGreencastle: Let me find you a complete KDE removal guide to fix your troubles02:18
AmyRoseMrGreencastle: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome02:19
AmyRoseI use their guides to remove GNOME and XFCE remnants all the time02:19

MrGreencastleI can't use apt at all02:20
AmyRoseOK... let's try this02:20
MrGreencastlekdebase-bin, sorry02:20
AmyRoseWhat is the package that's causin the error?02:20

AmyRoseYou're going to have to purge that, then proceed02:20
AmyRosewith removing02:20
MrGreencastletrying to overwrite `/usr/bin/kdebugdialog', which is also in package kdebase-bin "   Is the error I get, and its after it tries to install kdebase-runtime-bin=kde402:21
MrGreencastle-kde4*02:21
AmyRoseOK02:22

ubotuIf you're having trouble installing KDE4, in a !Terminal run: « sudo apt-get --purge remove $(dpkg -l | grep "4:3.97.0" |awk '{print $2}') » then run « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » - After that install KDE4 as normal02:22

intelikeyexact same message02:37
colorlessblueideAmyRose: Great!02:37
thomas__AmyRose: for me, the screen goes into powersaver, and I cross my fingers hoping that the system is booting ok...02:37
intelikeyyes stdin but to no avail02:37
AmyRosethomas__: Then you should really disable it02:37
intelikeystdin if you care to walk me through it i'll try grub shell again02:38
AmyRosethomas__: Or change the screen resolution02:38
colorlessblueideAmyRose: What's a "CTCP VERSION"?02:38
NickPrestaI'm getting a new graphics card tomorrow and with it, I need to use the latest nvidia drivers. What do I need to do to prepare this computer for tomorrow? I know I should uninstall the current drivers and go back to the default, `nv` drivers. I have also downloaded the .run file for installation tomorrow. What else is needed? Thanks.02:38
AmyRosecolorlessblueide: Me spying on what IRC client you're using :D02:38
stdinintelikey: it should be "root (hd0,0)\n setup (hd0)" from what I remember02:39
thomas__AmyRose: ok, thanks...02:39
AmyRosecolorlessblueide: I prefer Konversation over ksirc02:39
AmyRoseIt's the only IRC client I've ever used that makes decent use of the fact that you have a mouse/trackpad02:39
stdinintelikey: and/or "install (hd0,0)"02:40
colorlessblueideAmyRose: Fine by me.  I'll try Konversation later; right now I had adept-installer crash while updating to 7.10, and I'm a bit nervous about things working.02:40
AmyRosewhile still letting you use the keyboard for everything02:40
ronnie_hi everyone : )  just wondering whats a good printer thats easily recognized , I'm running on kubuntu 7.10, I've read alot of bad comments on lexmarks so i'll stay away from them, : )02:40
AmyRosecolorlessblueide: Is it booting up OK?02:41
colorlessblueideronnie_: I have a brother HL-5170DN, which has been great for a home printer.02:41
colorlessblueideAmyRose: I haven't shut it down!  'Twas in the middle of02:41
AmyRosecolorlessblueide: How comfortable are you with the terminal?02:41
thomas__AmyRose: one other question... I'm tempted to try KDE 4.0 since it's already to rc, and will ship in a couple weeks.... but I'm afaird it'll mess up all the dependancies and hose the box.  Is it safe to try?02:41
AmyRosethomas__: Yes.02:42
stdinif you read the instructions02:42
colorlessblueideAmyRose: installing the packages, when it crashed.  I'm now running dpkg  with a reconfigure (I don't remember the exact command) after killing a couple of lock files.   Re terminal, in many ways I prefer it.  (I'm one of the ancient flati; still have trouble with GUIs sometimes.)02:42
thomas__stdin: do you have a link to read?02:42
intelikeystdin grub> setup (hd0)  yelds "checking if '/boot/grub/stage1' exists...no" \n "checking if '/grub/stage1' exists...no"  \n\n02:42
stdinthomas__: see the topic :)02:42
intelikey"error 15: file not found"02:43
ronnie_hmm ok thx, I do notice there's hp programs installed, tho never owned a printer so no clue if there ok?02:43
stdinintelikey: what about "install (hd0,0)" ?02:43
thomas__stdin: oh, right.... thanks!02:43
colorlessblueideAmyRose: I think it was "dpkg --configure -a"02:44
AmyRosecolorlessblueide: Ah. OK. I recommend doing a "sudo aptitude keep-all", followed by "sudo aptitude update", then "sudo aptitude dist-upgrade", and keep repeating that last one until it stops giving you errors02:44
intelikey"error 1: filename must be either an absolute pathname of blocklist"02:44
intelikeystdin ^02:44
AmyRosethomas__: I'm getting you the link02:44
stdinintelikey: hmm, try with the device node then02:44
intelikeydid that too   " error 15: file not found"02:45
thomas__AmyRose: I don't know if this is really the right place for it, but firefox should be installed by default... or am I just crazy?02:45
stdinintelikey: did you set the root ?02:46
stdinthomas__: konquror is the default web browser02:46
intelikeyyep02:46
colorlessblueideAmyRose: Thanks.  I'll do that once the configure finishes.   BTW, I noticed that there were problems with the emacs-21 configuration.  Is there a new emacs with the old one gone away?  (Fine by me, as long as my .emacs file still works.  :-)   )02:46
AmyRosethomas__: No, it shouldn't. Kubuntu already has a browser, and it would waste space on the CD to have two of them by default. Besides, it's not hard to install Firefox after installing Kubuntu.02:46
chealdogudday guys do we any available time management software for kubuntu? gonna use it for my internet cafe running kubuntus02:47
AmyRosethomas__: KDE 4 install directions: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde4-rc2.php02:47
AmyRosecolorlessblueide: I don't use emacs, sorry. I prefer vim02:48
thomas__AmyRose: thanks for the link.  What's the adavantage of this other browser?02:48
AmyRosethomas__: I'm using Firefox at the moment. Konqueror is a faster browser, but it's been neglected since they started really hammering on KDE 4, so I've been using Firefox for the sake of having a more up-to-date browser02:49
colorlessblueideAmyRose: I'm learning.  Re emacs v. vim, 'twas the first I learned, and it's been good to me with auctex.  I printed out a vim quickref card at work last week, and plan on learning a bit more than the basics next month.02:49
=== _Agrajag is now known as Agrajag`
AmyRosecolorlessblueide: /usr/bin/vimtutor ;)02:50
=== Agrajag` is now known as Agrajag^
=== Huahua is now known as Shely
AmyRosecolorlessblueide: It got me hooked right away02:50
thomas__colorlessblueide: vim is model, which takes getting used to, but it's great and you can fly...02:50
colorlessblueideAmyRose: I'll try that.  I have a friend who is pretty much a guru; he uses nano all the time, if you can believe it.   That one drives me crazy.02:51
AmyRosethomas__: Yup02:51
vzduchnano isn't difficult02:51
vzduchperhaps vi(m) isn't either, but the learning curve is very steep02:51
AmyRosecolorlessblueide: nano drives me nuts because it doesn't have any text selection features at all. Vim has text highlighting, line selection, and even column selection.02:52
AmyRosevzduch: Not if you take the tutorial that comes with vim02:52
thomas__what's nano like?02:52
colorlessblueidevzduch: No, it's easy:  nano's just limited for a lot of stuff I end up doing.   The little I know of vim --- and its availability --- is what is leading me to try to learn it better.02:52
AmyRosethomas__: Type "nano" in your terminal and find out02:52
thomas__it's its own thing? Not just another vi or emacs?02:53
AmyRosethomas__: It's really easy to use, but it's nowhere near as efficient as vim is02:53
AmyRosethomas__: Nano is a clone of pico.02:53
colorlessblueidevzduch: Actually, one of my mailboxes is on a machine that only has pine, which uses pico as an editor, which is a lot like nano.02:53
AmyRosecolorlessblueide: Yeah, cuz nano is a clone of pico because of pine's license02:54
vzduchpine is a pita.. and why use pico if there's nano *gg*02:54
AmyRoseYeah, nano has more features than pico02:54
vzduchpico came w/ SUSE by default up until 9.302:54
Ed_EI have a question...by the way, Kubuntu is presented and operates much more logical than the other Ubuntu's...but anyway, My Netgear WG511 (PrismGT/ISL3886) PCMCIA Wireless adapter works in Feisty and all Gutsy Live CD's...but not in Gutsy installed.02:54
vzduchand there was no official nano rpm at that time02:54
intelikeypico is a symlink to nano02:54
Ed_ECard wont light up or nothing, and it acts as if it's seen and says it exists...just that it can't use it.02:55
Ed_EIs this common?02:55
AmyRoseEd_E: agreed with you on the good points about Kubuntu :D02:55
Ed_EYeah, by the way...I've found Kubuntu to be easier to use for a newbie, more integrated...by the little things like the Kubuntu logo in places making everything seeming together.02:56
colorlessblueideAmyRose: Well, dpkg is done, so I'm ready to try your suggestions.  It had errors with various emacs-21, hyperlatex, and python-mode packages.02:56
AmyRoseEd_E: That's because KDE is very well-integrated02:56
adz21cHey, what is the hardware support for the Creative X-Fi in linux like? Has anyone tested this Beta driver that they released? Is there an Opensource driver for it and is it any good?02:56
AmyRoseEd_E: Do you have a way of updating the computer?02:56
colorlessblueideAmyRose: So, aptitude --keep-all.  What is the purpose of that one?02:57
AmyRosecolorlessblueide: No dashes.02:57
Ed_EYeag02:57
Ed_EDoh02:57
Ed_EYeah02:57
AmyRosewell, no double-dash02:57
AmyRoseAmyRose: It's to clear aptitude's list of actions02:57
colorlessblueideAmyRose: OK.  I'm looking at the man page for aptitude, but I don't understand the why.02:57
AmyRoseaptitude keep-all02:57
Ed_EI'm gonna try updating and I'll get back to you02:57
vzduchAmyRose: are you talking to yourself? o002:58
colorlessblueideAmyRose: Ah.  makes sense.02:58
AmyRoseno, vzduch02:58
AmyRosecolorlessblueide: It's because aptitude stores everything it was going to do but failed to do, and try again automatically. I just want to make sure we don't create more problems, so I recommend an aptitude keep-all to clear it out02:58
AmyRosevzduch: Brain fart02:58
AmyRose:D02:58
AmyRoseAmyRose: Yeah, stop talking to yourself!02:59
vzducho002:59

colorlessblueidevzduch: I have removed the lock, done the dpkg --configure, and successfully completed an aptitude dist-upgrade.   what I noticed is that, when it crashed, Adept was predicting another 30 minutes or so, but when I used aptitude, it only took a minute or so.04:26

ardchoilleNickPresta: iirc, the restricted driver manager can install the nvidia-glx-new driver04:33
NickPrestavzduch, yes but you're free to double check. I require support for the 8800 GT. AFAIK, only the latest driver (released Dec. 20th) supports it.04:33
NickPrestavzduch, http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_169.07.html04:33
ardchoilleNickPresta: You may have a point there04:34

thomas__linuxlady: I'm looking into this a little more...04:46
linuxladyok wait - i must not have put them in the right area - they do work04:47
linuxladysorry. so that means my speakers are the issue - not the card?04:47
thomas__linuxlady: sounds like it... I'm just glad we fixed this04:47
thomas__linuxlady: you could try the speakers in a different device, just for sanity's sake04:48
thomas__linuxlady: that's the trouble with computers they're soo complicated there are too many things that can go wrong, and it's hard to tell what it is04:50
thomas__linuxlady: does the volume control on the panel work ok?04:51
linuxladyi just plugged them into my ipod and they dont work with that. the speakers worked the other day with windows though04:51

mrskateboy629thanx05:22
NickPrestamrskateboy629, CLI stands for Command Line Interface. It is a text interface to shell. You don't _have_ to use it intensively if you don't want to. However, it is very powerful and is "better" than some graphical alternatives.05:23
mrskateboy629where do i learn how to use it05:24

mrskateboy629okay thank05:26
roy_tthen had the problem after reboot05:26
mrskateboy629you05:26
roy_tsould I be asking in #ubuntu instead?05:26
NickPrestamrskateboy629, open up a Konsole (K Menu > System > Konsole) and then type: lsb_release -a05:26
osx5kubuntu is ubuntu technically so it shouldn't matter where you ask05:26

intelikeyi need a package management option to allow the newest version of each package on a disk to be installed or set as installable     is there any functionality in apt aptitude or dselect that could do this  ?05:29

NickPrestaosx5, PEBKAC? I'm not sure why you, specifically, had trouble05:32
intelikey:)05:32
NickPrestaintelikey, well, if you add the cdrom as a source, it should look for package information on the disk.05:33
intelikeybut there isn't any package information   just the .deb's05:33
oakxxasd05:34
NickPrestaintelikey, hmm. According to the APT HOWTO page, "suppose that you're using revision 0 of the stable version of Debian and you buy a CD with revision 3. You can use APT to upgrade your system from this new CD. To do this, use apt-cdrom". I don't know if it will build a database with the deb packages. It might be worth a shot. Otherwise, you might have to get fancy with `dpkg --compare-versions` and some loop05:35

se7en_yes and the reolution you like07:37
mrskateboy629thanks07:37
Lamemy dream is linux will be the os of choice07:39
Lameand it looks like its getting there lol07:39
se7en_Lame: than people would have to spend some time to learn about there box and os ... most of them only want to use it07:40
Lamewell its getting to the point that the simplicity in linux is getting better07:41
Lameand eventually as easy or easier than say windows07:41
Lamejust look at linux 3-4 years ago, and look at it today, its evolving pretty rapidly07:41
se7en_thanks to all the help form the comunity07:42
sistema  Kafeine because I am not playing a movie on DVD?07:42
sistema As install codecs?07:42
sistema I do not like anything?07:42
Lamei just hope it keeps progressing the way it is07:43
Lameand possibly grow or "evolve" faster now07:43
Lamethat more people are setting their eye's on it07:44
Lamewith the addition of all the cool eye candy , makes vista and the like look a bit shabby07:44
se7en_yes lets hope at least the hardware supplier should be more helpfull with diver07:45
Lameyep i hope that too07:46
Lamei hear so many wanting to actually use linux when they see a cool video of compiz in action07:46
sistema??07:47
Lamehardware vendors will eventually have to take linux seriously07:47
Lameand it looks like some already are07:48
Lamewhat would make my day , is to see a game at the store one day ,and on the side it says "Linux OS"07:50
Lamenow that would put a big smile on me lol07:50
se7en_well i stoped to try to convince my friends to use linux because ... "this doesn't look like xp and i don't want to type so much ..." i help if someone realy want to use linux (if i can) but no more convincing07:50
Lameyea your right se7en07:50
Lamebut right now at this particular moment, i dont think its "ready" for people to adopt07:51
Lamenot the average computer users anyways07:51
se7en_but we both and many more know LINUX IS COOL!!07:51
Lamebut its getting very close i think07:51
se7en_yes thanks to windows vista :)07:52
Lamehaha07:52
Lameyea vista has to be the worst os ever made07:52
Lamelol07:52
Lameits embarrasing that you need all that ram/cpu for vista to do 3d07:52
Lameand with linux, someone with a pc 5 years old can run it just fine07:52
Lameand imo it looks 10x's better07:53
se7en_i run compiz and i have 512 mb ram without problems my vista didn't even start07:53

HS^awen_, ehci_hcd11:45
HS^awen, here was my original question:11:46
HS^How do i make 'sudo modprobe -r ehci_hcd'  permanent? i added 'blacklist ehci_hcd' in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist and added 'DISABLED_MODULES="ehci_hcd" ' in /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common. I also added 'ehdci_hcd' in '/etc/hotplug/blacklist' a file that i created. It still loads. It seems to load dynamic instead of just as boot, because using one time the command modprobe -r is not enough.. it just reloads after a couple minuts.11:46
HS^As a last option I tried 'sudo mv /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.ko /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/host/ehci-hcd.ko.bu' in the hope that the kernel wouldnt see it anymore. But it still loads.11:46
HS^see i tried a lot. but now i just want to place rmmod ehci_hcd in startup script, and fysically remove the module. and be done with it11:46
awen_HS^: placing it in your .bashrc should unload it when you login11:49
HS^ok11:49

tomahasamootI just downloaded and played with KDE 4.015:01
emilsedghtomahasamoot: so what do you think?15:01
tomahasamootit looks great, but it's slooooooooooooow on a Core2Quad w/ 4 G ram and a 3 disk LVM array, also doesn't do anything useful... but it looks very nice.  Like Mac OS15:03
tomahasamootif this is the way things are going, I might as well switch to Mac OS now15:04

emilsedghtomahasamoot: so there should be something wrong at there, what about cursor? it moved smooth?15:05
emilsedghtomahasamoot: i think you should try to disabled dekstop effects15:06
tomahasamootemilsedgh: also the applets didn't do anything at all.  expect the pager, clock, and lancher, none of the applets did anything...15:06
emilsedghtomahasamoot: try to disable desktop effects please15:07
tomahasamootemilsedgh: I have a Core2Quad w/ 4 GB of ram, an nVidia 8600, and a 3 disk arrary... that's not enough to run desktop effects... ?15:08
emilsedghtomahasamoot: thats enough, misconfigurations in X settings and/or not present drivers for your card may cause that15:09
tomahasamootemilsedgh: it's more than slowness, apps wouldn't load, I could see the processes were running, but they would never appear on the desktop15:10

W8TAHmorning everyone -- fighting a wee problem here -- when i boot my gusty laptop, the splash screen wont come up -- if i turn off the quiet option in grub, i can see all the various kernel messages etc, but with it on the kubuntu splash doenst show -- id like to solve this15:31
W8TAHany input is welcome15:31
knightsTm_T: Right, I know what the problem is- all my disk space is being ate by 'tracker' as15:32

knightsHave I just got to turn tracker off or can it be fixed?15:32
tomahasamootI've got a Logitech cordless desktop wave, and mouse with a lot of buttons.  Many of them do work, such as the play/pause, stop, next, and previous track buttons.  Also the calculator button brings up SpeedCrunch.  All of this is very nice, and better then I thought it might be :-)15:33
ardchoilleW8TAH: This may be a dumb question, but do you have the word "splash" in your kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst ?15:33

_gtt_samba was the goal in this install... so i haven't done anything else20:13

maurisourcemaker: probably i'm wrong but I know that in linux there aren't virus  o something like that as in windows20:14
_gtt_i don't need smbfs unless i need to mount it, right?20:14
biovoresmb.conf is for the sambe server..20:14
biovoreI use smbfs and smbclient here..20:14
biovoreI don't really uses the gui at all..20:15
_gtt_how do i configure the client to specify which workgroup ?20:15
biovorethe client dosn't have a workgroup.. the server defines the work group..20:15

hydrogenpeople have contemplated suicide when they realized they had to look at gnome20:24
dreamcoderlol i have used gnome before thats why i use kde20:24
cmacisYes, but isn't gnome more stable. I'm sick of the crashes in kde20:25
dreamcodergnome has been around for many more years i think20:25
dreamcoderbut20:25
jhutchinscmacis: my kde doesn't crash.20:25
dreamcoderi dont have a problem with kde20:25
jhutchinsActually, gnome is not as old as kde, and kde derives from cde which is older still.20:25
jhutchinsHowever, age != maturity.20:26
dreamcoderi think kde is much better eye candy20:26
misticwarriorhey20:26
jhutchinscmacis: I would think that if you're having problems with kde, you'd be likely to have -more- problems with gnome, as gnome is not as integrated and efficient as kde.20:26
biovorehey is for horses..20:26
jhutchinscmacis: How about xfce?20:26

alakhiaquestion about knetworkmanager: whenever I un-suspend my laptop, I don't have internet connectivity. I have to manually run "sudo /etc/init/networking restart"21:07
fueljussi01: I have not used automatrix21:07
alakhiawhat could be the problem?21:07
merikeI ran alsamixer earlier, but whatever I tried it seemed to make no difference21:07
jussi01fuel: ok. well the remove the third party repos, and retry your upgrade21:07
biovorealakhia: not really a problem.. just it comes out of suppend.. knetwork manger should redo the network lease..21:08
fuelok!21:08
level1alakhia: you might try whitelist or blacklist your module on suspend21:08
level1alakhia: its under /etc/defaults/acpi-support21:08
alakhialevel1: i have no idea how ... oh ok21:08
vbgunzI have an external USB drive. it is NTFS formatted. How can I get it to mount without requiring root to do so? I have this in my fstab line: /x /y ntfs-3g users,defaults,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 021:08
level1alakhia: do you know the module name for you wireless card?  what card do you have?21:08
alakhialevel1: i also need to run "networking restart" on boot up ... could that be related?21:08
level1alakhia: oh... probably, yes21:09
alakhialevel1: let me check hp's web site21:09
level1alakhia: it sounds like its not being run automatically, and obviously it should be21:09
level1alakhia: type "lspci" in a console window nad look for something that looks like a wireless card21:09
level1alakhia: for example, I have a: 0c:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)21:10
alakhialevel1: shows Intel Corp, PRO/Wireless 3945ABG21:10
W8TAHhi folks -- ive installed and run LMSensors on my laptop -- its only reporting cpu and MB temp -- it seems there shoudl be more (fan speeds etc) how can determine what else should i be doing to find other sensors21:10
alakhialevel1: my output seems same as yours21:11
alakhialevel1: except for 02:00.0 part which is different21:11
level1alakhia: thats good, its a good card21:12
level1alakhia: anyway.... you module is ipw3945... but I don't know what your problem is21:12
level1alakhia: but, you could modify a few scripts to force networking to work21:12
alakhialevel1: hmm, ipw3945 shows up in lsmod21:12
level1alakhia: to get it working on startup, try putting a file in /home/yourname/.kde/Autostart21:13
level1alakhia: actually, don't do that21:13
alakhialevel1: what should this file run?21:13
alakhiaoh, ok21:13
level1alakhia: well, I forgot it needs to run as root... hmmm, what runs at startup?21:14
=== Pupeno_ is now known as Pupeno
alakhialevel1: exactly ... which is why it is irritating having to type passwd everytime21:14
fueljussi01: ah! disabling third party repositories works21:14
fuelthanks!21:15
level1alakhia: well, the other thing is to modify /etc/acpi/sleep.sh put a line at the very end "/etc/init.d/networknig restart"21:15
jussi01fuel: :)21:15
level1alakhia: that will restart networking after resume from suspend21:15
jussi01fuel: I think maybe the upgrade page says something about that.21:15
level1alakhia: what do you mean? why do you have to type passwd everytime?21:15
fueloh21:15
alakhialevel1: yes, for sudo21:15
fuelI will check that out21:15
alakhialevel1: everytime i un-suspend or boot up, that i21:16
level1alakhia: um, well, you should only have to run the passwd command once in your life, to set the root password21:16
jussi01!upgrade > fuel21:16
level1alakhia: however, you might have to type your password after suspend21:16
alakhialevel1: still have to type password for sudo21:16
level1alakhia: passwd is a shell command, you know that, right?21:16
pjfloydhow do I configure to use the PC clock set to UTC?21:16
jhutchinsActually, daemons shouldn't need root password.21:16
level1alakhia: anyway, just add that line to sleep.sh and it will work21:17
level1jhutchins: really?21:17
alakhialevel1: i think you are misunderstanding ... i meant passwd as abbrev for password21:17
jhutchinsacpi runs as root, so when it runs a script it doesn't need a password.21:17
alakhialevel1: not the command to set password21:17
level1alakhia: don't use that abbreviation, it will confuse peopule21:17
alakhialevel1: sorry! :(21:17
level1jhutchins: yes, but if you put a line in .kde/Autostart, it will be run as a user, not as root21:17
fueljussi01: thank you. See ya later21:18
jhutchinsTrue.21:18
jussi01fuel: :)21:18
alakhialevel1: i've added the networking restart ... it's a hack but I hope it works21:18
level1jhutchins: how could we have the command /etc/init.d/networking on every boot?21:18
alakhialevel1: thanks for your help ... let me suspend and see what happens21:18
=== ubuntu is now known as Racchio
jhutchinslevel1: put it in rc.local21:19
jhutchinsIt will run as root.21:19
level1alakhia: put /etc/init.d/networking restart at the very end of /etc/rc.local21:19
jhutchinsSo your network doesn't start at boot now, but will work if you restart it?21:20
alakhialevel1: and what about sleep.sh?21:20
level1alakhia: there too21:20
level1alakhia: rc.local is for startup, and sleep.sh is for after suspend21:20
alakhiajhutchins: exactly ... once kde boots up, i don't get networking21:20
alakhiajhutchins: if i run "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" it works21:21
alakhiajhutchins: i have a feeling that networking starts but just doesn't do anything21:21
jhutchinsalakhia: Well, it may not work then if you need to run it _after_ kde.21:21
alakhiajhutchins: well, worth a shot ... problem might be with knetworkmanager21:22

level1Schuenemann: but, isn't that a firewall, or am I just an idiot?21:29
jhutchinsThere have been a recent run of Mac viruses, so assuming you're safe because you're running linux is no-longer good enough for a real production environment.21:30
jhutchinsAs Schuenemann says, in a mixed environment you need to stop the Windows viruses.21:30
Schuenemannlevel1, isn't a firewall supposed to prevent intrusions? Maybe I am the idiot21:30
Schuenemann:-)21:30

limacthx biovore21:34

Schuenemannjhutchins, well, at least yours is linux :-) Is it your office?21:34
limacbiovore; what do u mean?21:34
level1Ayabara_: an early version of kde 4 would delete peoples data; you don't want that21:34
biovorelimac: If the live CD boots.. it means you have a 64bit computer..21:34

Ayabara_level1, no. I just tried it out for a couple of minutes, and decided I will wait til it's released21:35
biovorelimac: 64bit support requires you cpu and all the rest of the system and do 64bit address scheme21:35
jhutchinsSchuenemann: Nope, just a client.21:35
Ayabara_level1, now I kinda just want to go back to where I was...21:35

limacbiovore: what's ur opinion on 32-bit vs 64-bit kubuntu?21:36
dreamcoderis there a speed increase in using 64bit? i am assuming it will be about 20% ?21:36
biovorelevel1: I am running kubuntu on a E3850 here..21:36
jhutchinsvbgunz: You really don't have to check every operation like you do in windows, because linux is structured differently.21:36

biovoreThere are some weirdness with flash and multimedia codecs to get them to work since there 32bit..21:36
jhutchinslimac: If you needed 64bit linux, you would know.21:36
level1biovore: apparently flash and java arn't perfect yet, among other things21:36
ubuntu_ey guiz, i really need some extra-help in here! how can i recover my previous installation of kubuntu?21:36
vbgunzjhutchins: I killed it, ran it again on the external device and rather than say "quarantine" all files found (which seem to make it freeze), I said to ask, it seems to be working far better... maybe it cannot quarantine files on an NTFS disk, although I have rw on it21:37
merikehello, back after restart, turned out that disabled modem in BIOS was the biggest problem, currently mp3-s are somewhat crackling though21:37
limacjhutchins: but how is it better than 32-bit?21:37
ubuntu_i installed windows and i lost my boot!21:37
level1ubuntu_: what do you mean recover?  what happend to it?21:37
biovorelevel1: yes..  well java there is a 64bit port now..  flash is still emulated via netscape-wrapper21:37
jhutchinsdreamcoder: 64's aren't inherently faster, the main thing is they can address more memory.21:37

ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about grubfix - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi21:37

biovorelimac: is really..  no unless your doing mad number crunching..21:37
biovore(isn't really)21:37
dreamcoderyea i know about the memory just thought it would, i am using 64 kubuntu at the min21:37
ubuntu_iexactly21:37
jhutchinslimac: 64's are an advantage when doing certain types of processing on large datasets/files.21:37
alakhialevel1 and jhutchins: I just rebooted and I have networking! Thanks both of you.21:38
nuxilhi all21:38
dreamcoderand i have 32bit firefox with flash plugins for flash, and i am using 32bit java for frostwire21:38
jhutchinsalakhia: Great!21:38

nuxildoes anyone know of a tool that allows me to grab youtube videos?21:38
ubuntu_what can i do to recover my grub?21:38
dreamcoderyes21:38
limacjhutchins: ah ok!21:38
alakhiathe funny thing is that knetworkmanager shows "No active device"21:38
vbgunzheh, the very first file found is marked as a virus :/21:38

nuxildreamcoder, ok i'll look into that.21:39
dreamcoderu can download videos off any embeded video site ;D21:39
limacbiovore jhutchins: so 64-bit one is better than 32-bit? overall21:39
limac:?21:39
alakhiai'm not touching it ... maybe when I feel brave ;-)21:39
Schuenemannubuntu_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows21:40
dreamcoderonlt thing i dont likeis cant get java to work in firefox but.. i dont use it so21:40
biovorelimac: no..  probably want to stick 32bit unless you know what your doing..21:40
level1alakhia: knetwork mangare doesn't really have very much power, it just delegates to NetworkManagerD21:40

ubotuSorry, I don't know anything about helper - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi21:40
biovorelimac: no reall advantage for the normal users.. and there are more headaches21:40
nuxildreamcoder, ??21:40
merikeany ideas what could cause poor sound quality with mp3-s that sound nice on portable player?21:40
dreamcoderoh i am on about 64 bi firefox nuxil21:40
dreamcoderlol21:40
ubuntu_Schuenemann: thak you :D21:41
biovoremerike: probably some weird mixer setting..21:41
dreamcoderdownload helper works and it is a plugin from the firefox site21:41
level1merike: what media player are you using? and what speakers?21:41
Schuenemannmerike, maybe PCM is too high? Once that was my problem21:41
limacbiovore: i mainly do programming, use blender to create and animte 3d modells21:41
dreamcoderi use it alot21:41
biovorelimac: in that case.. stick the 32bit..21:41
level1limac: 64 bit might help on blender, but probably not worth it21:41
dreamcoderi do alot of video encoding.. a hell of alot 32 or 64?21:41
biovoreunless your running more then 4GB of ram.. no reason..21:41
level1I heard that when you switch to 64, you half your effective ram21:42
level1because everything takes up twice as much space21:42
Schuenemannis there any stable 64 bit OS yet?21:42
level1Schuenemann: ha!21:42
biovorekubuntu 64bit works fine..21:42
limacbiovore level1: so 64-bit has more advantage in blender and not for programming?21:42
biovoregentoo 64bit works fine as well21:42
Schuenemannlevel1, ha is an OS?21:42
level1Schuenemann: I not in the opinion that there is no stable 32 bit operating system21:42
dreamcoderi have been suing 64 bit kubuntu for quite a while now.. no problems i have had21:43
level1Schuenemann: I'm of the opinion that there is no stable 32 bit operating system21:43
biovorelimac: I don't think 64bit  has any advantage in blender..21:43
jhutchinsIteresting, this appears to be a web-based youtube downloader: http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php21:43
merikeusing Amarok and a Trust headset, what exactly is pcm, when I make it less then sound get rather quiet21:43
level1merike: pcm is part of the volume control21:43
biovorethere is master as well21:43

TuxMan.... can someone help me install kde4 on Hardy? when I try to install kde4 packages, it says it will break the system.21:43
biovore!hardy21:44
ubotuHardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu21:44
limacbut would u guys suggest me to try it out, you know as like 10 gb partition. btw i have 1.5 gib ram21:44
merikemaster is at max anyway but without pcm it's very quiet21:44
level1limac: you can try it if you want, just to see, but its nots really useful yet21:44
merikeusing KMix21:44
level1merike: try setting master to about half and pcm to about half21:44
Schuenemannmerike, PCM is Pulse code modulation. I don't know what exacly that means. The higher the value, the higher the volume. But, if it's value is too high, sounds get distorted.21:44
camillaHello All21:45
mahasamootI'm also having trouble w/ KMix21:45
Schuenemannmerike, try PCM at about 60%21:45
limaclevel1: i guess i'll just try it out21:45
mahasamootsometimes it has no effect, and bounces between 0 and 11 % when I try to change the volume w/ my keyboard21:46
mahasamootmute has no effect, but it says mute on/off21:46
limaclevel1level1: but is there anything that u can't do in 32-bit that can b done in 64-bit?21:46
merikeit truly sounds better with pcm at 60%, any specific reason to suggest that value?21:46
dreamcoderhow come suse 64bit java and flash etc work fine21:47
Schuenemannyes, that's the value that worked with me hahaha21:47
dreamcoderkubuntu flahs and java hate it21:47
level1limac: use 5GB of ram21:47
ubuntu_i don't know if everything is ok with the recover of grub. i get this message. is everything ok? did i recover grub? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50018/21:47
level1limac: so, if you happen to have 5GB of ram that your just not using, maybe its worth it21:47
merikeI see :D21:47
level1dreamcoder: kubuntu isn't perfec21:48
camillaI Need some help please. My installpaket Adept manager has kolapsed. In the terminal window, it says that line48 is korrupt, but I cannot find anything in /etc/apt/sources.list21:48

limaclevel1: but my most worry is in resizing the hd after i decide to delete it using gparted21:48
dreamcoderi love kubuntu21:48
jhutchinsubuntu_: What if you were to try booting the system now?21:48
dreamcoderreason i swtiched from Yast21:48

dreamcoderi was using SuSE for ages21:48
ubuntu_jhutchins: i just what to know if i did everything ok,so i can move to that next step.21:49
camillatalking to me? :)21:49
level1limac: well, if you want to be experimental, you have to take some risks... just back everything you value up... make sure to get .kde if you use kmail.21:49
ubuntu_jhutchins: did i get everything right now?21:49
jhutchinsubuntu_: You'll know when you reboot.21:49
Ayabara_level1, did the permissions on .kde tell you anything?21:49
ubuntu_jhutchins:ok thank you :)21:49
camillaI tried to reboot but I still coulnt read21:49
jhutchinsubuntu_: Honestly, it says it worked, it looks fine to me.21:49
limaclevel1: ur right i guess i do have to take some chances! :)21:49
level1dreamcoder: I actually kinda like debian, I might go back.... theres a lot of things that happen in kubuntu that I can't fix, but in debian most stuff is fixable21:50

jhutchinslevel1: that translator you're looking for is called a "brain".22:09
camillaHello again can someone please help me o reinstall Adept22:09
combinioi have hdd 149GB where linux takes only 120GB. is this possible to use that unused space somehow for files (movies, pictures, etc.?) ?? - it's totally empty as another partition22:09
level1jhutchins: is that a technical term?22:09
biovoreDelvien: handles installing of close source to licensed devices.. like nvidia graphics driver..22:09
Schuenemanncombinio, yes, of course22:10
combinioSchuenemann: how to ? :}22:10
Schuenemanncombinio, format it using qtparted22:10
Delvienbiovore lol woops said that wrong.. What is the restricted manager in KDE, meaning where can i find it and run it.. "/usr/bin/restricted-manager" does not exist on a brand new 7.10 install of kubuntu22:10
jpatrickcombinio: make a partition on it and mount22:10
jhutchinscombinio: gparted may be able to resize it.22:10
combinioSchuenemann: i mean i have 3 partition - main "/" second /home and that third unused22:10
level1combinio: is the extra 29GB a seperate partition, or is it part of your linux partition?22:10
combiniojhutchins: i just formated it to FAT32 system with gParted tool ;P22:10
biovoreDelvien: in the system tray.. you have a thing that looks like a chip?22:11
Delvienbiovore im giving KDE one more shot to not annoy the hell out of me, on a different computer so .. not in touch with all the KDE stuff22:11
combiniolevel1: separeted part.22:11
dreamcoderis there a shortcut to get the name of the person u r talkin to first?22:11
dreamcoderlike Schuenemann: i mean i have 3 partiti22:11
* jhutchins doesn't understand why someone would use a partition editor to create a filesystem isntead of mkfs, but oh well.22:11
velh0Schuenemann> what do i put in here? root (hdX,X)  my partition is sda522:11
combiniocan i resize my /home partition without losing data ? :D22:11
Delvienbiovore after the first couple boots it goes away22:11
level1combinio: I've noticed that windows won't recongize a fat32 program formatted by linux, although linux can use it just fine22:11
Delvienbiovore happens like that in GNOME too22:11
level1combinio: so find a window computer and reformat that partition using windows22:11
Schuenemannvelh0, the one where kubuntu is installed22:11
combiniolevel1: i have only linux, no winXP :P22:11
level1combinio: then why would you ever need fat32?22:12
jhutchinscombinio: Supposedly.  If you don't back it up before messing with the partitions you've no-one but yourself to blame though.22:12
level1combinio: that sounds like a personal problem :)22:12
bmacki cant boot kubuntu i get a error that say "starting k display manager( starting  powernowd.. ect/rc2.d/s20powernowd: 156: cannot create /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0//cpufreq/scaling_governor: dir non existant - * cpu frequency scaling not supported22:12
combiniolevel1: idunno - choose that type between ext3 , Fat32 etc ;P22:12
Schuenemanndreamcoder, type part of the name, then TAB. If you're lucky, your IRC client has that feature22:12
biovoreDelvien: hmm.. not sure then..22:12
jhutchinsLinux makes fat32 partitions just fine!22:12
jhutchinsmkfs -t vfat22:12
dreamcoderSchuenemann: yay22:12
dreamcoderthanks22:12
level1combinio: unless you plan to share files with windows, theres no reason to have a fat32 partition22:12
Schuenemanncombinio, I use FAT because I also have a windows partition22:12
combinioi just want to make that partion holding some movie stuff :)22:13
velh0Schuenemann> so              root (sda5,sda5)     ?22:13
level1jhutchins: well, my experience is that windows won't recognize it, but thats just my experience22:13
combinioSchuenemann: i see...22:13
gttwindows sees it fine22:13
Schuenemannvelh0, in which line are you?22:13
Schuenemannat*22:13
gtti use it on a dual boot partition22:13
combiniolevel1: so i guess u advise EXT3 part. ? :)22:13
jhutchinsvelh0: I think for grub that would be root (5,5)22:13
velh0Schuenemann> or              root (sda5,5)     ?22:13
jhutchinsor root (hd5,5)22:13
combiniobut if i have it already then how to mount ? :)22:14
level1combinio: absolutely... until ext4 comes out22:14
level1combinio: or reiser un-kills his wife22:14
jhutchinsI don't believe grub uses sd22:14
Schuenemannvelh0, it says you should type the output from the previous command22:14
combiniolevel1: understood :))22:14
velh0jhutchins i dont have any hd* . only sda*22:14
chatohola22:15
chatoke pasa peña22:15
jhutchinsvelh0: I don't think grub uses hd/sd, I think it uses hd.22:15
level1one of these days, reiser will un-kill his wife, then we'll all use reiser422:15
combiniolevel1: do u know maybe how to mount that ext3 partiotn? cuz it is unmounted now (?)22:15
Schuenemann!es | chato22:15
ubotuchato: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.22:15
jhutchinsvelh0: You'll notice it's not sda1 but hd0,0.22:15
chato!es22:15

jhutchinslimac: What part of it are you testing?22:17
velh0jhutchins i don-t have any hd nothing! only sda someting! i guess that-s because i have a SATA disk, right?22:17
combiniolevel1: it looks i have nothing like fstab ;P22:17
jhutchinsvelh0: grub doesn't care about the drive type, only it's bios numbers.22:17
combiniolevel1: also i don't have "mount point" :?:22:17
level1combinio: open up /etc/fstab22:17
limacjhutchins: not sure22:17
level1combinio: that file has instructions on how to mount the hard disks on your computer22:18
biovoreyeah.. bios reorder the disk for sata on some systems.. makes it hard to figure out whats going on..22:18
combiniolevel1: ok then :) thanks for help ;)22:18
level1combinio: well, you have to read between the lines.  Whats the name of your new partition?  sda1 or somethnig?22:18
jhutchinsvelh0: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Device-syntax22:18

billybobo231can anyone help me with compiling? every effort at compiling kdenlive results in errors like: "make[2]: *** [kdenlive/CMakeFiles/kdenlive.dir/krender.o] Error 1"   What is a "make[2] ...Error 1" ?23:32
david__you need to paste more output than that23:33
billybobo231ok, so its more deep-rooted...23:33
david__use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/23:33
david__then link us to that23:33
billybobo231would you be able to follow it if I pastebinned the final chunk?  i am wondering if i am missing a library, or if it is something in the application/code...23:34
billybobo231ok23:34
david__yep23:34
david__it's almost always a library23:34
david__btw, you do know kdenlive is in the repository?23:35
ronnie_hi, I'm considering going to buy the hp 4140 multi-function printer, any know if it works fully (scanner as well?) with my system= kubuntu 7.10 ??23:36
billybobo231david__: yeah but that kdenlive doesn't work for me :( its NTSC output is bad and the newer ones are much improved (but unreleased :()  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50031/23:37
david__I see.23:37
billybobo231well, the newer builds are improved overall, but still not the NTSC...23:37

Weasel[DK]trying to get kmyfirewall running but when commiting the rules i get this ->  Error: kdesu: Unknown option '-t'.23:38
billybobo231ronnie_: not sure at all, have you tried to google for posts about it?23:38
david__billybobo231: quickest thing to try is "sudo apt-get build-dep kdenlive"23:38
david__this gets everything you need to build the old one23:38
billybobo231ooh ok i'll try that... the new one has additional things i think, like unsermake and some others, but i have those already...23:39
billybobo231i think23:39
david__billybobo231: libmlt is one of the things you're missing23:39
david__probably libmlt-dev23:39
ronnie_ya 'ill look billy thx, tho ya always get mixed comments, some say the scanner won't work,23:39
billybobo231mlt is built with this script, presumably....23:39
billybobo231and the script is also building that pastebin23:40
david__it's a library this code uses, but possibly needs to be on your system for this code to use.23:40
Weasel[DK]someone knows why the -t option is missing in kubuntu's kdesu23:43
billybobo231ok i am trying again to build using this script, after the apt-get build-dep kdenlive command23:43
billybobo231Weasel[DK]: not sure but i think 7.10 is supposed to use 'kdesudo' instead of 'kdesu'23:44
ronnie_I don't really know a thing bout burning cd's, so here's a dumb question : if you burn over & over on a rewriteable cd do you eventually lose quality,??23:44
billybobo231ronnie_: i think in theory you have a good number before that happens, but you should 'blank' the CD between uses.  I've always found they get scratched too easily to make it worth more than a few burns, and overall not worth the price23:45
billybobo231ronnie_: have you observed them beginning to lose data?23:46
ronnie_ya ok I prefer cd-r's so I can't accidentally write over em : )23:46
MGalaxyanybody can see this website? http://www.kbfx.org/23:47
ronnie_no I never copied over one enough to see it lose quailty23:47
kristian_no its not working23:47
Weasel[DK]billybobo231, hmm no -t option either... seems that the kdesu command is hardcoded into kmyfirewall... i could take a look at the source i guess ;)23:49
