| billybobo231 | ScottG whats up? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| Scotty | ScottG: What's the problem? | 00:00 |
| Scotty | Hehe. | 00:00 |
| ScottG | Got home from work, wife tells me she can only get 640X480 on our Kubuntu 7.10 64 bit PC. | 00:07 |
| ScottG | I ran the reconfigure X command (don't recall it all) and got my 1280X1024 back but no 3D.. now when I install Nvidia restricted drivers it breaks X again. | 00:07 |
| agorecki | You might try deleting Xorg's configuration file: the Xorg server should automatically choose the best settings for your hardware | 00:12 |
| MGalaxy | Scotty: ardchoille: can u PLZ suggest me an alternative for KDE Menu applet ? | 00:12 |
| ScottG | I'll give it a try | 00:12 |
| ardchoille | MGalaxy: kbfx is the only thing I can recommend: sudo apt-get install kbfx | 00:13 |
| nosrednaekim | try kickoff | 00:13 |
| ardchoille | MGalaxy: And you might also be interested in the kubuntu-artwork-kbfx package | 00:13 |
| Scotty | MGalaxy, as said, kbfx and kickoff are options and truthfully the only two I know of. I prefer kbfx, but they're both worth a try. | 00:14 |
| MGalaxy | thx | 00:14 |
| mahasamoot | I just installed winXP into a QEMU/KVM. There were a lot of compicated instructions about how to set up networking... but windows can already reach the web. So now I just need to reach windows from Kubuntu. I'm installing 2xAppilcation server on windows and I want to connect to it with krdc... but I don't know what networking options to tell krdc? | 00:15 |
| Weasel[DK] | billybobo231,you are right about the kdesudo as replacement for kdesu, but it not compatible yet, it can be resolved for now bye executing: sudo ln -s -f /usr/bin/kdesu.distrib /usr/bin/kdesu | 00:15 |
| Weasel[DK] | billybobo231, thanks for the hint | 00:16 |
| nosrednaekim | !VNC | 00:16 |
| ubotu | VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX | 00:16 |

| intelikey | interesting turn of events. i loaded linux on this lappy. sent it home with it's owner. in six months they bring it back(haven't even looked at it yet) wanting me to do something else to it. and it wont boot. can't mount the root fs. so i badblocks'd the hd no bad blocks found. i cat zero to it and reinstall linux. did that yesterday. today it wont boot. so i boot a live cd chroot into it and upgrad | 00:24 |
| intelikey | but i'll bet dollars against doughnut holes that tomarrow it wont boot again. | 00:24 |
| intelikey | and i can't find a reason for it. | 00:25 |
| agorecki | Can you format the drive using the live cd? | 00:26 |
| intelikey | of course | 00:26 |
| intelikey | like i said i badblocks/cat zero to/reinstalled. so i had to format(creat an fs some place) to install... | 00:27 |
| intelikey | i'm not a beginner ya know. | 00:27 |
| agorecki | I apologize, I misunderstood you. If you can format it and mount it on the live cd, there should not be a problem mounting it without one. What error message did the system provide when it was not able to mount the partition? | 00:28 |
| intelikey | agorecki right. but there was. i mounted the old root fs before i did anything else just to see if someone had hosed something. | 00:29 |
| intelikey | only the booting kernel couldn't mount the root fs and would panic. | 00:29 |
| greeg | hi | 00:30 |
| greeg | im having trouble installing a package. im running the version prior to gutsy. http://rafb.net/p/hYBuGw49.html | 00:30 |
| intelikey | same thing today. the booting kernel would panic with can't mount root fs and it wasn't an address issue. it was booting fine when i shut it down yesterday. just like it is now. | 00:31 |
| ardchoille | greeg: What are you trying to install? | 00:31 |
| ardchoille | greeg: The GNU common lisp compiler? | 00:31 |
| greeg | gcl, lisp interpreter. | 00:31 |
| gspr | greeg: Are you trying to install GCL? Isn't there a Feisty package for that? | 00:31 |
| greeg | my linux box is not connected to the internet | 00:31 |
| ardchoille | !info gcl feisty | 00:32 |
| greeg | im at a coffe shop at the moment | 00:32 |
| agorecki | The last time I zeroed a hard drive it needed to be replaced. Which filesystem are you using? (I am sorry, without much more information there is not a lot I can say on the issue) | 00:32 |
| ubotu | gcl: GNU Common Lisp compiler. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.6.7-32 (feisty), package size 28038 kB, installed size 98532 kB | 00:32 |
| ardchoille | greeg: Ah, ok | 00:32 |
| gspr | greeg: It's probably easier to just get the packaged GCL. | 00:32 |
| greeg | yeah, and a bit spoiled by apt. | 00:32 |
| greeg | i ran ./configure in the proper directory according the the packages readme. | 00:32 |
| BrOSs | ardchoille: are u there? | 00:33 |
| greeg | ./configure: 1: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string | 00:33 |
| ardchoille | BrOSs: I am | 00:33 |
| intelikey | greeg is there a reason you don't want to use the packaged version ? | 00:33 |
| intelikey | !packages | 00:34 |
| ubotu | You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords or regex>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways! | 00:34 |
| ardchoille | intelikey: His Linux box has no internet. He could download the gcl package but may run into deps problems. | 00:35 |
| stdin | greeg: try "bash configure" instead | 00:35 |
| intelikey | could dl from http://packages.ubuntu.com and carry the .deb to the box as easy as a tarball. | 00:35 |
| intelikey | ardchoille he'll hit the same dependancy problems with a tarball | 00:35 |
| batis610 | Need to encode my dvd(contains serie episodes) to an avi with multiple audio tracks and subtitles..... how? | 00:36 |
| ardchoille | intelikey: True, but at least now he's connected and can grab those deps instead of waiting to get home and finding out which deps he needs | 00:37 |
| intelikey | stdin heh that's probably it. more bashism masqerading as posix shell grammer | 00:37 |
| BrOSs | i need some help about WEP.. | 00:39 |
| intelikey | people should not use #!/bin/sh and then write bashism into it. that's like writing a perl script and making the first line #!/usr/bin/python | 00:39 |
| ardchoille | BrOSs: Since I already know what you're attempting, this isn't the proper place to ask about illegal activities | 00:40 |
| intelikey | BrOSs get all your warez at ftp://127.0.0.1/ | 00:41 |
| BrOSs | ¬¬ | 00:41 |
| ScottG | boy what an odeal.. | 00:42 |
| ScottG | ordeal | 00:42 |
| intelikey | what odeal is that ? | 00:43 |
| ScottG | Just trying to get 3D re-enabled. | 00:43 |
| intelikey | also people should not make configure and pre/post-inst/rm scripts with #!/bin/bash nor containing bashism | 00:44 |
| ScottG | After fixing the 640x480 res problem I can't seem to get the Nvidia drivers installed so I can boot X.. | 00:44 |
| ScottG | brb | 00:44 |
| intelikey | is "boot X" a CS term ? | 00:45 |
| greeg | is there a way get feisty packages with out apt ? | 00:45 |
| intelikey | greeg that's why i had the bot display the url ^ | 00:45 |
| intelikey | http://packages.ubuntu.com | 00:45 |

| mrtimbo | it worked fine last night | 00:47 |
| mrtimbo | Just wondering if anyone else has had the problem | 00:48 |
| intelikey | that would fall under the "bad cable" secrtion. falty hardware between the optic and the processor. | 00:48 |
| mrtimbo | ill tear it apart when i get home then | 00:49 |
| intelikey | expanded to include the camera it's self or it's internal components | 00:49 |
| mrtimbo | it should have a warrenty but i dont know since i took vista off | 00:49 |

| flaccid | so basically it hangs on install? | 01:56 |
| zeke | basically...it's been loading the partition manager for 30 minutes now and it's only at 26% | 01:56 |
| flaccid | have you tried the alternate cd? atm it sounds like hardware | 01:56 |
| flaccid | looks like some bus problem or anyhting hardware. try the alternate cd first | 01:57 |
| flaccid | !alternate | zeke | 01:57 |
| ubotu | zeke: The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD - See also !Minimal | 01:57 |
| zeke | I've not had much luck with alternate installs in the past | 01:58 |
| zeke | I tried it with freebsd and ended up without a gui of any sort | 01:58 |
| zeke | is the oem option of the normal cd the same as the alternate version? | 01:59 |
| ardchoille | zeke: Try it with the kubuntu alternate install cd.. I found it quite easy to use. | 01:59 |
| ardchoille | zeke: The OEM option leaves the system in a state in which the first user to boot it up must set some options, kind like purchasing a computer off of the store shelf. | 02:00 |
| flaccid | zeke: this is not freebsd at all. your issues could be something to do with the desktop components of the live cd. if you don't wanna try it, its your choice | 02:00 |
| zeke | I'm just trying to see what my options are | 02:01 |
| zeke | I do appreciate the advice and I will give it a try | 02:01 |
| flaccid | um i can't think of much other than doing persistent usb drive install.. which is just livecd anyway, but that rules out ide bus etc. | 02:01 |
| flaccid | old or new system? | 02:02 |
| jontec | I can't get battle for westnoth to play music O_o... I can't even check the box to enable music from within wesnoth... it's almost like it's not seeing the wesnoth-music package (which I have installed) | 02:03 |
| sn00zer | how do i kill a process that is listed in ps, then when i try to kill it says no such process, then respawns under new PID | 02:03 |
| biovore | kill -9 <pid> | 02:03 |
| sn00zer | or actually changes PID every second | 02:04 |
| biovore | figure out what it's parrent is | 02:04 |
| sn00zer | but its changed PID before i can type it | 02:04 |
| sn00zer | how do i do that? | 02:04 |
| zeke | old system | 02:04 |

| Scotty | se7en: I know how to change my nick in Konversation. I was wondering how to change it in Kopete. For instance, in Trillian it's called the locally echoed name. | 02:31 |
| Scotty | It's the name that appears in the conversation window, normally your screen name. | 02:32 |
| Mr_Sonoma | scotty i havent used kopete for IRC chat but i would imagine the /nick command used by many other IRC clients would work there also. | 02:32 |
| Scotty | Not for IRC, for AIM. | 02:32 |
| Mr_Sonoma | oh | 02:32 |
| Scotty | In a conversation window. | 02:32 |

| agorecki | Hi folks, does anyone know of a program for duplicating segments of a video into a new file? I am looking for software that has an intuitive, graphical user interface (preferrably) | 02:44 |
| jameswf-home | intuitive is relitave | 02:46 |
| jameswf-home | I find bash intuitive :) | 02:46 |
| agorecki | Anything other than libffmpg :) | 02:46 |
| adz21c | agorecki: theres some sort of video called kino i think, thats graphical and might do it. Else for command line you can use mencoder so just do a copy encode (aka sweet fa) of segments i believe | 02:46 |
| jameswf-home | devede is pretty good.. | 02:46 |
| agorecki | adz21c, jameswf-home: I will have a look, thank you | 02:47 |

| Max-P | try $ sh <filename> in konsole | 03:21 |
| mani213 | $? | 03:21 |
| mani213 | i have kubuntu | 03:21 |
| mani213 | and thr .run file is a ati driver i downloaded | 03:21 |
| mani213 | the* | 03:21 |
| Max-P | The $ is only meaning that you don't have to be root to run that command | 03:23 |
| Max-P | and # mean root | 03:23 |
| Max-P | but | 03:23 |
| Max-P | if it's the ati driver | 03:23 |
| Max-P | # sh <filename | 03:23 |
| Max-P | # for root | 03:23 |
| Max-P | so | 03:23 |
| Max-P | $ sudo su | 03:23 |
| Max-P | then | 03:23 |
| Max-P | you will be root | 03:23 |
| mani213 | so i type in $ sudo su first? | 03:24 |
| Max-P | yes | 03:24 |
| Max-P | ou juste | 03:24 |
| Max-P | $ sudo sh <filename> | 03:24 |

| mani213 | you mean put the driver cd in the rom? | 03:30 |

| earl_ | so i remember reading a few months ago about a problem with ubuntu and laptop hard drives. does that still apply in gutsy? | 03:56 |
| Tucci | hey i | 03:57 |
| Tucci | hello? | 03:57 |
| ardchoille | !hi | Tucci | 03:57 |
| ubotu | Tucci: Hi! Welcome to #kubuntu! | 03:57 |
| Tucci | oh, okay, there's usually a flood of messages as soon as I connect... things are quiet I guess | 03:58 |
| Dr_willis | earl_, i saw that when gutsy came out. the issue was a little.. odd. :) if i rember right it only affected some spefific machines/bios/hd's and it was only affecting those machines that had the laptop-mode packages enabled. | 03:58 |
| earl_ | is there a way to verify if it applies to me? | 03:59 |
| Tucci | anyway, I was trying to share a folder with my roommate's mac, and I both failed at that and broke my internet connection | 03:59 |
| Tucci | can someone help? | 03:59 |
| Dr_willis | There was a great many sites on that topic. You could check the smart 'data' on the hd and see how fast it was increasing. | 04:00 |
| Dr_willis | then if you wanted you could use hdparm to tweak it. lets me see whats on my laptop | 04:00 |
| earl_ | not sure how to do any of that lol | 04:00 |
| Dr_willis | If you never installed the laptop-mode package.. then it wont be affecting you anyway | 04:01 |
| earl_ | oh no i never did that on my own. should i have? | 04:01 |
| pyrotix | whenever I try to login on kopete it just crashes. Suddenly and immediately. wtf? Anyone know of this issue or could suggest any other easily installable linux msn clients | 04:04 |
| earl_ | pidgin | 04:05 |
| earl_ | i think it's superior to kopet | 04:05 |
| earl_ | e | 04:05 |
| pyrotix | is it kde? | 04:05 |
| pyrotix | wait | 04:05 |
| pyrotix | its gaim | 04:05 |
| pyrotix | gah | 04:05 |
| earl_ | it's a gnome program but you can use it pretty harmlessly in KDE | 04:05 |
| earl_ | it works really well for me | 04:05 |
| pyrotix | I know of it. and gtk programs are never harmless. | 04:06 |
| pyrotix | ty | 04:06 |
| earl_ | i mean if you want an alternative, there it is. it has some features that i find kopete to be missing | 04:07 |
| mrtimbo | gaim dont have webcam support | 04:08 |
| earl_ | it does not, you're right. but last i tried kopete i wasn't able to get webcam working too well in that either | 04:08 |
| mrtimbo | I have never had a problem | 04:08 |
| mrtimbo | but it varies | 04:08 |
| earl_ | granted that was like a year ago though. | 04:09 |
| mrtimbo | its the only reason i started with kopete | 04:09 |
| earl_ | have they fixed that thing where there's a blank line after every message on some themes? | 04:09 |
| mrtimbo | I dont use themes | 04:09 |
| mrtimbo | You would think they would of but i dont know | 04:09 |
| pyrotix | hehe, I started with kopete cause I couldn't get gaim to work. Kopete and amarok were single-handedly able to convert me to kubuntu. And also wu-tang clan ain't nothing to fuck wit. | 04:09 |
| earl_ | themes are the thing that make me wish kopete was better than it is | 04:10 |

| mrtimbo | I use amarok on a daily basis | 04:10 |
| pyrotix | what if the profanity is part of a quote? | 04:10 |
| pyrotix | even then | 04:10 |
| stdin | then don't quote it | 04:11 |
| ardchoille | pyrotix: Doesn't matter, please keep the content family-friendly | 04:11 |
| earl_ | the only thing i could think of that would make amarok better is if it worked with my zune. | 04:11 |
| earl_ | but then again | 04:11 |
| earl_ | zunes dont work with anything. | 04:11 |

| jameswf-home | .. | 04:13 |

| stdin | velho_: as fas as I know, you'd have to remove /usr/share/autostart/guidance-power-manager.desktop or uninstall guidance-backends | 04:28 |
| Jucato | stdin: wouldn't that affect the other guidance modules? or only g-p-m? | 04:28 |
| * Jucato would rather suggest editing the .desktop file, not sure if it will be restored on an update... | 04:28 | |
| * stdin thinks he meant kde-guidance-powermanager | 04:28 | |
| Jucato | oh yeah, that's the new name :) | 04:29 |
| Jucato | we used to call it gpm (guidance power manager...) | 04:29 |
| stdin | update would nuke any changes, that's the only problem with moving/editing | 04:29 |
| jameswf-home | .files will be restored if backed up any good backup will have a hidden files option | 04:29 |
| mrtimbo | So how do i stop firefox from telling websites that im running linux? | 04:30 |
| stdin | don't think you can with firefox | 04:31 |
| jameswf-home | mrtimbo: user agent switcher | 04:31 |

| mrtimbo | sometimes ill be looking for something and it will already take me to debian/ubuntu sites. That gets old at times | 04:32 |
| mrtimbo | ok thanks | 04:32 |
| ronnie_ | hey all, I've been using kubuntu 7.10 for about a month, I can't use the update, if I do it says there's some kinda error, so I just don't use it at all, thus probably leaving me with alot of unfixed bugs, any come across the same thing? | 04:32 |
| Jucato | ronnie_: how are you trying to update? what errors are you gettng? | 04:33 |
| jameswf-home | ronnie_: a pastebin of the error would be helpful | 04:33 |

| ronnie_ | using the updater that comes with it installed, (what im using) hmmm ok thx ill go there | 04:34 |

| Dr_willis | Hmm.. Trying to figure out where/how Ubuntu/Kubuntu decides where to auto mount these disks. The disk is /dev/sdd1, usb external HD. Plug it in , turn it on. it appears as System:/media/sdd1 HOWEVER there is no '/media/sdd1' the disk is instead mounted at '/media/disk' Where did that 'disk' name come from? (its a windows fat32 disk) | 04:39 |
| limac | and the next time i restarted the computer, it got frozen | 04:39 |
| limac | why did that happen? | 04:39 |
| stdin | Dr_willis: from the filesystems label | 04:40 |
| Dr_willis | stdin, ok. that makes sence then. :) | 04:40 |
| limac | is that like a bug or something? | 04:40 |
| jameswf-home | Dr_willis: udev rules | 04:40 |
| Tucci | I accidentally changed some of my network settings and now my connection is broken. can someone help me change it back? | 04:40 |
| stdin | (most FAT-31 USB disks are called "disk") | 04:40 |
| stdin | *-32 | 04:40 |
| jameswf-home | Tucci: define broken | 04:41 |
| Tucci | well, not working at all (I'm using my roommate's mac) | 04:41 |
| Dr_willis | I dont rember labeling it that.. but it could of been. heh heh.. It just seems.. confusing.. the way it used system:/media/sdd1 then i was expecting there to be a /media/sdd1 :) | 04:41 |
| stdin | system:/ always used the device node as the name, even if it's not mounted like that | 04:41 |
| Tucci | jameswf-ho: (this is a laptop with a wireless connection that has always worked without a problem) | 04:42 |
| stdin | my /home (which is called "home") is system:/media/sda3 | 04:42 |
| Dr_willis | but media:/ shows the name of the disk to be 'windowstuff' | 04:42 |
| Dr_willis | which i do think is the label. | 04:42 |
| stdin | media:/ != system:/media ;) | 04:42 |
| Dr_willis | media makes sence. :) | 04:42 |
| Dr_willis | except fior the 3 disks named based on their size... | 04:43 |
| Tucci | jameswf-ho: And I was trying to share a folder with this mac, but didn't succeed - now the little internet connection button on the lower panel has disappeared | 04:43 |
| Dr_willis | is my stuff on the 400gb or 320gb or 300gb disk..heh :) | 04:43 |
| stdin | I just mount from /dev/disk/by-label | 04:43 |
| jameswf-home | Dr_willis: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/make-removable-usb-hdd-mount-at-fixed-mount-point-511917/ | 04:43 |
| Dr_willis | Im just cleaning out a lot of things got a 300gb hd for $40 over the weekend. that will eliminate 3 of the hd's | 04:43 |
| Dr_willis | :) | 04:44 |
| Tidus | i just put shortcuts on the desktop pointing to the storage array in this computer which is conveniently mounted at /storage | 04:45 |
| Dr_willis | I got a redundant array of external usb disks... that just seems to keep growing | 04:47 |
| Dr_willis | redundant in that - i seem to have a lot of needlessly redundant copies of stuff on all of them | 04:47 |
| limac | my wireless is disconnecting randomly? any ways to fix that? | 04:49 |
| Dr_willis | Mine would dissconect when the wife fired up the microwave. | 04:50 |
| limac | hmmmmmm | 04:51 |
| Dr_willis | or the neighbors would fire up theirs... or the dog down the street looked at a squirle.. :) | 04:51 |
| limac | so any way to fix mine? | 04:51 |
| Dr_willis | Ok.. kidding on the last part.. and this was some older hardware. But the Microwave, and the cordless phone would kick her pc off the net for a few mim | 04:51 |
| Dr_willis | What kind of cards? A/B/G/N/Somthing Else ive not heard of yet. | 04:52 |
| limac | what do u mean "cards"? | 04:52 |
| Dr_willis | What kind of wireless card is this? what chipset. | 04:52 |
| limac | atheros | 04:53 |
| Dr_willis | A/B type wireless had the Microwave issues. I think its not an issue with G and N networks now a days. | 04:53 |
| Dr_willis | But other then that.. I cant be of much more help. Not sure wher to begin trouble shooting if you are saying its truely random. | 04:54 |
| Dr_willis | Sure its not like after X amount of time idle? | 04:54 |
| limac | yeah | 04:54 |

| bazhang | oakxx: this is a support channel; take it to offtopic please | 06:12 |
| surgy | am i going to have to try to run winzip through wine? | 06:12 |
| NickPresta | surgy, there is a utility to create a zip archive. What seems to be the problem? | 06:14 |
| rredd4 | surgy I don't see it, I see: Kmenu , Home icon, FireFox icon, 4 desktop panels, Klipper, Adept icon, Xchat icon and the clock. Thats it | 06:14 |
| Tidus | rredd4: mine's to the right of the clock | 06:15 |
| surgy | NickPresta: i need to unrar an archive that has a password, i know the password, but when i enter the password at the prompt it doesnt work, and acts like i didnt enter the command right. and the gui ark tool that is present in kde, is aperently useless on encrypted archives | 06:15 |
| rredd4 | Tidus there is a arrow to the right of my clock | 06:15 |
| Kernel | hmm also there is no fluxbox-generate_menu on my system? | 06:15 |
| se7en | surgy: if i recall right unrar-nonfree is in the kubuntu-restricted-extras package | 06:15 |

| adamonline46 | Hello all! For the last couple days I've been fiddling with accessing my network shares using Samba. I FINALLY found out that if I use Dolphin and click 'open as root' while I'm inside the MSHOME folder, I can see the machines that are on the network and access their shares. Is there any reason that anyone can think of that I can't view my MSHOME shares as a regular user? All other computers can access this computer's shares, but | 06:16 |
| Tidus | rredd4: http://tidus.alive-awake.com/photos/?Qwd=./Screenshots/Linux&Qif=desktop_12_29_07.png&Qiv=thumbs&Qis=M&Qtmp=FS <-- completely stock except changed the wallpaper | 06:17 |
| se7en | surgy: i don't get it but you could try 7zip with the command 7z x -p{passwort} file.rar | 06:18 |
| ollle | 7zip is great | 06:19 |
| NickPresta | surgy, I just created a rar archive (`rar a -p archive.rar file`) and then did `unrar e archive.rar`. It worked fine for me. Where was this archive created? | 06:19 |
| rredd4 | Tidus surgy i had to add the applet, now i see it | 06:19 |
| surgy | NickPresta: im not creating an archive | 06:19 |
| surgy | i use 7zip and got two errors, says its an unsupported method | 06:20 |
| NickPresta | surgy, I understand that. I created an archive with a password and then unrar'd it for testing purposes. It worked. unrar works when the archive has a password. I don't know why your specific archive fails to extract | 06:20 |
| Tidus | rredd4: it shoulda been there by default | 06:20 |
| rredd4 | Tidus I have never seen it until now, weird | 06:21 |
| surgy | NickPresta: want me to pm you the six lines of output that 7zip gives me? | 06:21 |
| NickPresta | surgy, sure, although I'm not sure I can help diagnose the problem. If the archive doesn't contain anything sensitive, you could send it to me and I can see if it works for me. | 06:21 |
| rredd4 | ty all | 06:23 |
| xweb | sorry ... misfire | 06:26 |
| _CitizenKane_ | where does kdm look for .desktop files? | 06:30 |
| _CitizenKane_ | does anyone know? | 06:32 |
| oakxx | its deault ones? | 06:33 |
| oakxx | its default ones? | 06:33 |
| oakxx | ./etc/skel ? | 06:33 |
| _CitizenKane_ | oakxx, the ones that end up being listed as loadable sessions | 06:34 |
| _CitizenKane_ | like, KDE, gnome, etc | 06:35 |
| se7en | _CitizenKane_: i don't know what you want to do but most of the setting are in /etc/kde3/kdm/backgroundrc | 06:40 |
| _CitizenKane_ | se7en, just add a new session to kdm | 06:40 |
| _CitizenKane_ | which i thought would work if a new .desktop file was put in /usr/share/xsessions but it hasn't | 06:41 |
| bmack | when i boot after i select kubuntu a pops up for a few seconds and says Kernel alive' and kernel direct mapping tables up to 100000000 @ 8000-d000' | 06:43 |

| adamonline46 | If I haven't touched the firewall settings that come with Kubuntu, and doing 'iptables -L' shows everything as 'allow', is it possible there's still something acting as a firewall in a near-stock Kubuntu? | 06:53 |
| _CitizenKane_ | adamonline46, unlikely | 06:54 |
| adamonline46 | _CitizenKane_: Very well, thank you... | 06:54 |
| _CitizenKane_ | adamonline46, what kind of problem are you having | 06:55 |
| _CitizenKane_ | ? | 06:55 |
| adamonline46 | _CitizenKane_: Well, I can't see any of my network computers or their shares from my Kubuntu computer... I've been fiddling with it since yesterday morning, and tonight I found out if I click 'open as root' in dolphin while I'm in 'MSHOME', I CAN see the network shares... | 06:56 |
| adamonline46 | I've been asking left and right and no one seems to have any ideas; I'm getting ready to give up until I want to access a network share again :( | 06:57 |
| _CitizenKane_ | that's strange | 06:57 |
| adamonline46 | _CitizenKane_: Indeed. I've verified my firewall's got no rules... | 06:57 |
| _CitizenKane_ | well, try to open an IP address directly in dolphin or konqueror with | 06:58 |
| _CitizenKane_ | smb:/ip-address-here | 06:59 |
| adamonline46 | is it really only one slash? | 06:59 |
| adamonline46 | I've been using 2... | 06:59 |
| _CitizenKane_ | well, dolphin doesn't like it when i use two | 06:59 |
| adamonline46 | ahh | 07:00 |
| se7en | dolphin only / | 07:00 |
| adamonline46 | Yeah, in Konqueror all I get is a white-bg window... | 07:00 |
| _CitizenKane_ | hmm, is there a firewall enabled on the computer you're trying to connect to | 07:01 |
| adamonline46 | se7en: Thank you, useful info... | 07:01 |
| adamonline46 | No, nothing... I even set up a minimal smb.conf with security = share, etc; which requires no password or anything | 07:02 |
| adamonline46 | Plus, I can still access all my other machines from all my other machines... | 07:02 |
| _CitizenKane_ | well, that's pretty strange | 07:03 |
| _CitizenKane_ | maybe there's a solution besides using smb | 07:03 |
| adamonline46 | _CitizenKane_: Hmm. Well, I'm trying to get to my file server, and I've got a couple roommates on the network... Everything is set up as it should be, in terms of access rights, etc. Hmm.. Dang, yeah, I'm just so stumped here... I can try FTP I suppose, just for kicks... | 07:06 |
| _CitizenKane_ | adamonline46, i actually prefer ftp, i've found that it's much easier to set up than many other options | 07:07 |
| adamonline46 | _CitizenKane_: Oh yeah? I will do it, if you can assure me that there is a PLAIN, boring, Windows-Explorer-like, saves passwords and doesn't prompt you every time, Windows client... 8) | 07:10 |
| _CitizenKane_ | adamonline46, filezilla | 07:10 |
| adamonline46 | Filezilla drives me nuts, and cuteFTP is not much better, plus I'm trying to not install any warez 8) | 07:11 |
| adamonline46 | Just, I don't want to have a hundred frames in an FTP client; I just want something that runs transparently, like a mount... | 07:12 |

| mahasamoot | My keyboard has a volume button, and a mute button. I can see a volume metter come up when I press the button, but it doesn't change the volume. Same for mute, it'll say mute on/off, but no effect. I've confirmed that the master channel on Kmix is the right one, and when I change it on the pannel it works alright. Also, sometimes, the volume meter will go up to 100% and down to 0%, smothly.... but at other times it's jerky and just goes from 0% to 11% | 07:40 |
| mahasamoot | I also have play/pause, stop, next, pervious, buttons, but they've always worked fine with Amorak | 07:41 |
| mahasamoot | The keyboard is a Logitech cordless desktop wave | 07:42 |
| mahasamoot | I'm running Kubuntu 7.10 alt amd64 | 07:42 |
| mahasamoot | and I have 8 audio devices | 07:43 |
| adamonline46 | Is there somewhere to 'enable file sharing' in Kubuntu? | 07:46 |
| mahasamoot | adamonline46: I'm looking into it | 07:50 |
| mahasamoot | adamonline46: on my machine there are settings, but it tells me the packages aren't installed | 07:51 |
| mahasamoot | adamonline46: try K > System Settings > Sharing | 07:52 |
| mahasamoot | adamonline46: you may already have the packages | 07:52 |
| adamonline46 | mahasamoot: Hmm, alright... Yeah, I'm having issues with Samba, I think... Can't access any remote shares from Kubuntu... | 07:52 |
| adamonline46 | mahasamoot: *Er, unless I'm root... | 07:53 |
| mahasamoot | adamonline46: I need to set this stuff up myself, maybe we can work thro it together | 07:53 |
| mahasamoot | adamonline46: what have you done so far? | 07:54 |
| adamonline46 | mahasamoot: Alright, I'd be glad to help if I can... I'm not too great with Samba tho... | 07:54 |
| adamonline46 | haha, my settings panel stopped responding... | 07:54 |
| adamonline46 | I have Samba installed, and smbclient... | 07:55 |
| adamonline46 | I can access local shares from remote locations, but not vice versa | 07:55 |
| adamonline46 | never seen anything like this before, I've got 2 other computers using Samba fine, though this is the first time I've tried connecting to one of them (or my win box) from Linux... | 07:56 |
| mahasamoot | so your client is working, but not the server? | 07:57 |
| adamonline46 | mahasamoot: No, the server is working, but not the client. | 07:58 |
| adamonline46 | Er, maybe I should start over... | 07:58 |
| mahasamoot | adamonline46: ok, are you following a tutorial? | 07:58 |
| adamonline46 | I've got 5 computers. 4 of them are using Linux: A Counter-Strike server, a web server, a laptop, and a new file server running Ubuntu, Debian, Kubuntu, and Xubuntu respectively. Then i've got a WinXP machine which can access all of those machine's shares. I've never tried accessing any of those shares from another Linux box, but now with the laptop and fileserver I have a reason to. So, basically, while the WinXP rig can view a | 08:02 |
| adamonline46 | mahasamoot: haha, so, no, I'm not really following a tut... But I can help you out, if I can... What's your situation? | 08:02 |
| mahasamoot | adamonline46: I've just set up winXP in a kvm | 08:03 |
| adamonline46 | mahasamoot: Ooh, that's cool | 08:03 |
| mahasamoot | I'd like it to get files on the host... and the host to connect a client for an appserver on winXP | 08:04 |
| mahasamoot | adamonline46: the networking stuff looked really compicated,... but the funny thing was, winXP can surf the web... even tho I didn't set it up yet | 08:07 |
| adamonline46 | mahasamoot: Oh wow! That's cool... | 08:09 |
| adamonline46 | damn, I'm afraid I'm not gonna be much help... | 08:09 |
| mahasamoot | adamonline46: the question is, should I use NFS, and do it the Unix way, or Samba and do it the Windows way? | 08:09 |
| adamonline46 | Well, what else is on your network? | 08:10 |
| adamonline46 | I for one am trying to choose the simplicity of one config file, so I'm shooting to use Samba all round... | 08:10 |
| mahasamoot | just the host, and an internet connection | 08:10 |
| adamonline46 | Then again, I have dhcp... | 08:11 |
| mahasamoot | since the network is already working for windows... ? I'm guess it's already dhcp'd... on the other hand if it's static, that's simpler... isn't it? | 08:12 |
| adamonline46 | yeah, it's simpler, unless you have new computers coming in and out regularly :) If I had a better router, I could do both... | 08:16 |
| etfb | Does anyone else have a problem where Kopete, the chat program, "steals" the Ctrl+Shift+W key combination and stops it getting through to Firefox or any other program? I've looked in Keyboard Settings and in Kopete's config menus and can't find any mention of it. How do I fix it? | 08:17 |

| Mister_Hand | hi there | 08:20 |
| Mister_Hand | whats the program you use to search your drive for a specific file in kde? | 08:20 |
| adamonline46 | Sorry, etfb, I wish I cuold help you... I'd like to ask, if anyone knows why not only can I not view my network shares from just this one machine, but when I clidk 'Sharing' under 'settings', the 'settings' panel freezes? What's wrong here? This is driving me nutso!!! :O | 08:21 |
| Mister_Hand | nevermind | 08:22 |
| adamonline46 | Mister_Hand: Possible Dolphin, but by CLI you can do 'find *file*.ext', or | 08:22 |
| adamonline46 | oh ok | 08:22 |
| Mister_Hand | adamonline46, thanks | 08:23 |
| Tidus | etfb: i have that problem too playing World of Warcraft... KDE locks and holds the alt + ANYTHING combination | 08:23 |
| sebastian^ | good morning folks | 08:23 |
| Tidus | and most of my in game shortcuts are bound to those keys | 08:24 |
| Zombocom | Tidus I have the problem where kde isn't bound to those keys | 08:24 |
| etfb | Looks like there's a general problem with overzealous key bindings in KDE then. It should, in theory, give the current application first option at any keypress. Instead, it's grabbing some itself, early. | 08:30 |
| etfb | Tidus: Have you had a look in settings to disable some of the global shortcuts you don't need? | 08:30 |
| etfb | Now I think of it, KDE grabs a bunch of keys that Emacs should be handling, too. Odd. | 08:31 |

| flaccid | !samba | GSF1200S_ | 08:38 |
| ubotu | GSF1200S_: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. | 08:38 |
| Kernel | GSF1200S_, linux to linux use nfs . linux and windows use samba | 08:38 |
| flaccid | there is !nfs also | 08:38 |
| GSF1200S_ | yeah.. knew that about samba and nfs | 08:39 |
| adamonline46 | Kernel: What if I need both? Should I maintain two setups, or just use Samba on all? | 08:39 |
| flaccid | i think there is an applet as well for main panel | 08:39 |
| _CitizenKane_ | adamonline46, I'd suggest samba | 08:39 |
| GSF1200S_ | im going from buntu to mepis.. trying to transfer files off my windows part so I can remove it | 08:39 |
| flaccid | samba is regarded as more extensible and secure | 08:39 |
| Kernel | adamonline46, im not very familer with either...i just use ftp. | 08:39 |
| Kernel | or scp | 08:39 |
| flaccid | there is also things like ftpfs and sshfs | 08:40 |
| adamonline46 | Kernel: FTP keeps popping up... I think I'm gonna have to give it a shot... Is there an 'ftpfs'-like thing for WinXP? Something that's somewhat transparent and preferably free and free? | 08:40 |

| Drk_Guy | How can i do that? | 08:41 |
| Drk_Guy | Ext2 | 08:41 |
| GSF1200S_ | gonna boot to windows and just try samba for now | 08:41 |
| Kernel | i just use pureftpd and gftp | 08:41 |
| flaccid | Drk_Guy: is this just an extra drive you use to store data on a mountpoint? | 08:41 |
| Drk_Guy | flaccid: It's my /home dir | 08:42 |
| Jeroi | Kernel filezilla is the best ftp client for linux and for windows also | 08:42 |

| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about perms - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 08:42 |
| Drk_Guy | I'm a distro hopper | 08:42 |
| flaccid | Drk_Guy: its just chown and chmod like any unix | 08:42 |
| Drk_Guy | chown | 08:42 |
| Kernel | Jeroi, that opinion. ;-) | 08:42 |
| flaccid | or do it in kde | 08:42 |
| Kernel | i prefer gftp | 08:42 |
| Drk_Guy | But i don't know how to use it | 08:42 |
| adamonline46 | Kernel: NP, ty | 08:42 |
| Jeroi | :) | 08:42 |
| Drk_Guy | Also, i tried chmod +r+w | 08:43 |
| Drk_Guy | But didn't work | 08:43 |
| flaccid | Drk_Guy: eg. sudo chown flaccid /home/flaccid | 08:43 |
| Kernel | adamonline46, :-) | 08:43 |
| flaccid | or do group as well sudo chown flaccid:flaccid /home/flaccid | 08:43 |
| Jeroi | I prefer programs that support both windows and linux | 08:43 |
| Drk_Guy | It didn't spit out anything | 08:43 |
| Drk_Guy | Is it ready? | 08:43 |
| Jeroi | That way I dont need to change program when using linux or windows | 08:44 |
| flaccid | Drk_Guy: that does the folder only, if you want to do all if its contents do: sudo chown -R flaccid:flaccid /home/flaccid for example. R being for recursive | 08:45 |
| flaccid | you can also do -Rv for verbose | 08:46 |
| Drk_Guy | It worked just fine | 08:47 |
| Drk_Guy | Thanks guys | 08:47 |

| tmske | MGrunde: done, it shows hardware present | 09:22 |
| === drkguy_ is now known as Drk_Guy | ||
| MGrunde | tmske: And what does iwconfig say? | 09:22 |
| cptR3D | i use vlc | 09:22 |
| Drk_Guy | guys | 09:23 |
| cptR3D | and watch divx and xvid | 09:23 |
| Drk_Guy | I did what you suggested | 09:23 |
| Drk_Guy | And it worked like a charm | 09:23 |
| kvonb | <_CitizenKane_> ok, so for each entry in the list that patrick gave me? | 09:23 |
| _CitizenKane_ | kvonb, minus the number | 09:23 |
| MGrunde | Glad it worked out for you Drk_Guy | 09:23 |
| _CitizenKane_ | kvonb, if you do: ls /etc/init.d | 09:23 |
| kvonb | ah, excellent, thanks :) | 09:23 |
| jpatrick | kvonb: assuming you have it installed tho := | 09:24 |
| _CitizenKane_ | you can see all of the startup scripts | 09:24 |
| tmske | MGrunde: still nothing, but I do have FATAL; could not open /lib/modules/.....ndiswrapper.ko: No such file or directory, so I asume something went wrong installing, I'll try again | 09:24 |
| kvonb | thanks guys, I'll give it a go :) | 09:24 |
| MGrunde | tmske: that error looks very familiar. I'm sure I've seen that, I belive it gave me quite a bit of trouble. Can't think of how I fixed it though... | 09:25 |
| podr0znik | the description of VLC looks interesting | 09:26 |
| podr0znik | trying now | 09:26 |
| MGrunde | tmske: Before you reinstall ndiswrapper-common "modprobe -r ndiswrapper" "sudo rm -rf /lib/modules/2.6.[***]-[***]/ubuntu/misc/ndiswrapper" | 09:28 |
| cptR3D | hey podr0znik I aslo think i have a divx thing installed just search for it in the adept installer or something | 09:29 |
| _CitizenKane_ | podr0znik, try installing ffmpeg | 09:30 |
| cptR3D | but I can play mp3s, avi's and all that goodness that i download | 09:30 |
| podr0znik | mp3s I can play in Amarok after installing mp3 support | 09:30 |
| cptR3D | :] | 09:31 |
| podr0znik | but surely sb will say that Amarok is hopeless and there are better programs :) | 09:31 |
| cptR3D | sb? | 09:32 |
| MGrunde | podr0znik: installing kubuntu-restricted-extras should fix things up for you. It'll also install Java and some other things, so if you don't want those, don't do it. | 09:32 |
| cptR3D | where is the restricted extras? | 09:32 |
| ardchoille | !info kubuntu-restricted-extras | 09:32 |
| ubotu | kubuntu-restricted-extras: Commonly used restricted packages. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 10 (gutsy), package size 3 kB, installed size 32 kB | 09:32 |

| ardchoille | yw | 09:32 |
| MGrunde | (sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras) | 09:33 |
| jpatrick | yep | 09:33 |
| podr0znik | it seems to work already | 09:33 |
| podr0znik | it works perfectly fine now :) | 09:35 |
| tmske | MGrunde: that doesn't work either, I don't get the FATAL if I install ndiswrapper from source, else I do get it | 09:36 |
| === corporeal_ is now known as corporeal | ||

| ScottG | it's far too early.. | 09:42 |
| ScottG | my 3 year old daughter can't sleep.. so neither can I.. | 09:43 |
| tmske | MGrunde: ndiswrapper -l still says it is correctly installed. I get the FATAL message when modprobing. I found in ubuntuforums that other people couldn't downgrade to apt packages after installing ndiswrapper 1.51 from source | 09:46 |
| tmske | MGrunde: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=417731&highlight=FATAL&page=9 here it is, but no solution :s | 09:47 |
| MGrunde | Yeah. I was just reading that. | 09:47 |
| MGrunde | Wait, is the FATAL message an "operation not permitted" message, or a "No such file or directory" message | 09:49 |
| tmske | MGrunde: No such file or directory | 09:50 |
| MGrunde | Okay, updatedb, then locate ndiswrapper.ko | 09:51 |
| MGrunde | Anything? | 09:53 |
| === sjitsweak is now known as shitsweak | ||

| Stevie2k | I have a very strange problem with my keyboard... | 11:02 |
| starscreamd | Sweet I just got it. I installed emerald and did emerald --replace. How can I set these as the default apps | 11:02 |
| Stevie2k | I log on into kde and after that the keyboard seems to be nearly dead... It takes about one second until a character comes up.... | 11:03 |
| Stevie2k | I am even not able to switch to a console to check the running processes and so on... | 11:03 |
| jussi01 | Stevie2k: how is the rest of performance? ie with mouse etc? | 11:04 |
| Stevie2k | no problems... even compiz | 11:04 |
| Stevie2k | runs without any loss of performance | 11:04 |
| starscreamd | Tried another keyboard Stevie2k? | 11:04 |
| Stevie2k | I use the same keyboard for another pc | 11:05 |
| Stevie2k | (I am just using that one...) | 11:05 |
| Stevie2k | and I don't have any problems bevore logging into kde... | 11:05 |
| starscreamd | Try to use a different keyboard on the PC you're having issues with to start with. | 11:05 |
| Stevie2k | Can it be a keyboard issue if everything is fine - except when I log into KDE? | 11:06 |
| starscreamd | If I put a file into ~.kde/Autostart to start emerald would that be effective? Anyone try this? | 11:06 |
| starscreamd | Might be.. You could completely rule it out if a seperate keyboard has issues | 11:07 |
| Stevie2k | hmmm.. I have to check if I find another keyboard... | 11:08 |
| starscreamd | brb, trying auto-install script.. | 11:10 |
| Stevie2k | could the keyboard | 11:11 |
| Stevie2k | sry... forget it.. | 11:11 |
| cptR3D | jussi01: after restart I got a message to continue or choose something so I chose something and it gave me multipul choices or scan so i did scan and my screen fuzzed and came back and gave me the same options so i chose '0' (?? had no idea what to do) and it loaded fine but still froze when I opened the lid | 11:11 |
| starscreamd | Sweet, it worked | 11:12 |
| cptR3D | jussi01: upon restart I got the same option to chose or contine so i contued and it loaded just fine but it still froze when i oped the lid | 11:13 |

| ubuntu_ | Hi :) | 11:37 |
| Minnozz | Hi, anybody knows why I can't paste my screenshot in (for instance) KolourPaint when I 'Copy to clipboard' in KSnapshot? | 11:37 |
| Stevie2k | It was a setting for handicapped people to slow down the keyboard... and this was set to 500ms so the keyboard was really very slow... | 11:37 |
| ubuntu_ | i just install kubuntu 7.10 i choose not to install grub, and now on reboot i get message "missing operating system" | 11:37 |
| Stevie2k | thx @all and bye | 11:37 |
| ubuntu_ | i thougth if i don't install grub system wil autmaticly install boot sector | 11:38 |
| ubuntu_ | any ideas what is wrong | 11:38 |
| Freku | maybe your harddisk with kubuntu is not in your bios bootlist | 11:38 |
| ubuntu_ | it is only hard disc i got, and it is first on boot list | 11:39 |
| etfb | I found an interim solution to the problem of Kopete "stealing" keys away from other applications, if anyone's interested... | 11:39 |
| etfb | It was stopping Ctrl+Shift+W from closing Firefox, because it means "Toggle 'Away' Status" in Kopete | 11:39 |
| ubuntu_ | i'm thinking about install again witch grub and just set timeotu to "0" but it's not nice solution :| | 11:40 |
| jussi01 | ubuntu_: you need grub | 11:40 |
| ubuntu_ | is there anything like windows fixmbr? | 11:40 |
| ubuntu_ | but if ubuntu is only system on my hd, then what for? | 11:41 |
| etfb | The solution is to define any commands you want as global keyboard shortcuts using the System Settings / Keyboard thingy. Added bonus is that they then work in all programs, so I can close any program using the shortcut that I grew used to just in Firefox. | 11:41 |
| jussi01 | ubuntu_: grub boots ubuntu. you need it. | 11:41 |
| etfb | A real solution would be for the Kopete maintainers not to steal key commands, of course... | 11:41 |
| ubuntu_ | ok, thanx | 11:41 |
| ubuntu_ | roger, roger :) | 11:41 |
| dani_ | hi | 11:43 |
| pjfloyd | anyone know what's the problem with command line completion? | 11:45 |
| pjfloyd | esc-esc doesn't complete until another key is pressed (e.g., space) | 11:46 |
| etfb | pjfloyd: It's using Emacs keyboard shortcuts, so Esc is kind of tricky and might even be confusing matters. What is Esc Esc supposed to do in this case? | 11:48 |
| pjfloyd | etfb: just completion, like tab in some systems | 11:49 |
| etfb | What shell? | 11:49 |
| pjfloyd | etfb: I normally use ksh, but I think it's with bash | 11:49 |
| djdarkman | hello, is there a better file system cheker than fsck? fsck seemmed to have destroyed my /home on another machine and I want it back | 11:50 |

| pjfloyd | perhaps I'll try a real ksh from AT&T | 11:50 |

| ubotu | Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 11:51 |
| etfb | Minnozz: KolourPaint is pretty minimalist; maybe it doesn't handle the clipboard very well. Clipboard is still a dark art in Linux -- not like MacOS or that other popular operating system, where it's actually pretty stable and easy to use. | 11:52 |
| Minnozz | lol @ 'that other popular operating system' | 11:52 |
| jussi01 | Minnozz: have you considerd saving the screenshot, then opening with said program? | 11:53 |
| Minnozz | etfb: thanks for the info, now I know it's not a configuration problem | 11:53 |
| pjfloyd | (I have Solaris and FreeBSD running at the moment, and for both with bash if I type, say "ls bo[esc-esc]" it completes to "ls boost_1_34_1/" | 11:53 |
| etfb | Minnozz: I try not to mention its name. It's like saying "Macbeth" among actors. Maybe I should call it "The Scottish OS", but nobody would understand me... | 11:53 |
| gspr | What packages should be installed for KDE 4 in Hardy? | 11:53 |
| jussi01 | !kde4 > gspr | 11:53 |
| etfb | Minnozz: I'm just guessing based on what I know about these things though, so don't give up on my account. | 11:53 |
| Minnozz | jussi01: yes I know that works, but it's one more step to make, pasting it directly is faster (that's why I asked) | 11:54 |
| jussi01 | Minnozz: ahh, ok :D | 11:54 |
| SSJ_GZ | Minnozz: You have to enable image handling in Klipper. Wait a sec ... | 11:54 |
| Minnozz | ah, solution! =D | 11:54 |
| etfb | Minnozz: (See? "The danger in declaring something to be impossible is that you'll be trampled by all the people busy doing it.") | 11:55 |
| pjfloyd | etfb: Mac OS X clipboard is mediocre when you mix X11 apps | 11:55 |
| SSJ_GZ | Minnozz: Close Klipper. In the [general] section of ~/.kde/share/config/klipperrc, and the line IgnoreImages=false | 11:55 |
| SSJ_GZ | Minnozz: Re-start klipper and it should work. | 11:55 |
| etfb | pjfloyd: Probably a symptom of the poor quality X11 implementation they use, if my reading is accurate. | 11:55 |
| SSJ_GZ | Minnozz: (I've just tested it here) | 11:55 |
| Minnozz | SSJ_GZ: okay, thanks a lot! | 11:56 |
| SSJ_GZ | Minnozz: np :) | 11:56 |
| etfb | SSJ_GZ: Shiny! Thanks for that one! | 11:56 |
| SSJ_GZ | :) | 11:56 |
| pjfloyd | etfb: possible, Lepoard switched to Xorg, and it still has lots of problems | 11:56 |
| SSJ_GZ | Background reading: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/1787 | 11:56 |
| Minnozz | SSJ_GZ: It worked, thanks again! ;) | 11:58 |
| SSJ_GZ | Minnozz: Great! | 11:58 |
| etfb | SSJ_GZ: Another one for my Read Me bookmark folder. Thanks. Has anyone else noticed how useful Firefox tabs are for IRC? I come away from an extended chat session with a pile of open tabs, which I then save as a bookmarked folder and spend the next day browsing. Excellent! But I digress... | 11:59 |
| etfb | Has anyone noticed that the Downloads dialog in Firefox doesn't work under Kubuntu? That is, you can download files, but often the "Open" link does nothing. | 11:59 |
| nick__ | Hey everyone, i have an zipping question. I have a 5.12gb file and I want to compress it to fit on a standard dvd. I've tried using ark but it doesn't seem to compress it very much. Do I have any other options? | 12:00 |
| etfb | Also, I can't open the "All files download to" folder either. Worked in Ubuntu, as far as I can remember, but does nothing in Kubuntu. | 12:00 |
| etfb | nick__: What format is the file? | 12:01 |
| etfb | nick__: If it's video or JPEG, it's already compressed close to the optimal amount. | 12:01 |
| nick__ | etfb: It is a collection of 13 .avi files in one folder | 12:01 |
| etfb | nick__: You're out of luck then. AVI is pretty efficient already. You won't find a compression tool to decrease it significantly. | 12:02 |

| etfb | nick__: Can you burn dual-layer DVDs? | 12:02 |
| nick__ | etfb: hmmm, alright, guess I'll have to split it up, unfortunately no :) | 12:02 |
| etfb | nick__: Probably best; don't trust your important files to new technology! | 12:03 |
| nick__ | etfb: Just out of curiosity, about what ratio does ark compress things to, say I had an uncompressed .mov file | 12:03 |
| etfb | nick__: Length of a piece of string multiplied by the number you first thought of. | 12:03 |
| etfb | nick__: In other words, it depends. | 12:04 |
| nick__ | etfb: that's a funny saying :) | 12:04 |
| etfb | nick__: Video, audio and jpegs won't compress much though. Text will often go down to 33% or so. Executables vary widely. Other formats are anyone's guess. | 12:04 |
| nick__ | etfb: Thank you so much for your help, you've been very informative | 12:05 |
| etfb | nick__: (I refer to some calculations as being "LPS Protocol Compliant" if you have no way of guessing how accurate they are -- LPS = Length of a Piece of String) | 12:05 |
| etfb | nick__: HTH. HAND. And other such silly acronyms. | 12:06 |
| etfb | So: Firefox. Can someone else try this for me? Open Firefox, open the Downloads window, and click the button next to "All files download to". Does it open a file browser, or just do nothing? | 12:07 |
| nick__ | etfb: Doesn't do anything for me | 12:09 |
| rothchild | etfb I noticed that was broken too you have to change it in the firefox preferences page | 12:09 |
| etfb | rothchild: Where? | 12:09 |
| etfb | rothchild: Can't see any options that specify the file manager to use. It should just pick up the default. | 12:11 |
| VampireKing | what you suggest to see chm files ? | 12:11 |
| etfb | VampireKing: I use kchmviewer. | 12:11 |
| rothchild | under edit preferences you can change the download folder | 12:12 |
| etfb | rothchild: Yes - but it doesn't make the button work. | 12:12 |
| etfb | rothchild: Maybe it's an about:config thing. | 12:13 |
| rothchild | but when you hit the 'download to' button on the download manager itself as you way it just opens a browser windo | 12:13 |
| etfb | rothchild: Yeah - which makes me think it's a bug in Firefox, because it's inconsistent. | 12:14 |
| nick__ | Hey, I have one more question, I want to look into using the server edition to use on a home network (backups, media storage, etc..) can anyone point me to a good guide about the server edition? I'm looking for a primer really | 12:15 |

| Ayabara | I have been using gnome, but decided to install kubuntu-desktop yesterday, since I use a lot of kde-apps. When I logged into the kde-session, my networking didn't work, but it works fine in gnome. Make any sense? | 12:34 |
| Blissex | Ayabara: no. | 12:35 |
| mauri | jussi01: if i opne storage media, i don't find a floppy | 12:35 |
| Blissex | Ayabara: the network is independent of the desktop environment. Most likely it is the web proxy that is not setup. | 12:35 |
| Ayabara | Blissex, ok. what does that mean I have to do? | 12:35 |
| Blissex | Ayabara: try 'ping www.kubuntu.org' inside Konsole. | 12:36 |
| Blissex | Ayabara: what you have to do depends on what you mean with "networking didn't work" | 12:36 |
| Blissex | ubotu does not not work | 12:36 |
| jussi01 | mauri: !test | 12:37 |
| jussi01 | !test | 12:37 |
| ubotu | Failed. | 12:37 |
| Blissex | ubotu doesn't not work | 12:37 |
| Ayabara | Blissex, I'll check it out. I can start a kde session on another terminal while my current gnome is up and running, right? | 12:37 |
| Blissex | !doesn't not work | 12:37 |
| mauri | jussi01: sorry i dont understand | 12:37 |
| jussi01 | mauri: it was a mistake, my apoligies. | 12:37 |
| Blissex | Ayabara: sure, or you can run KDE inside a virtual X desktop, for example with 'Xephyr' or 'Xnest'. But probably is simpler on another terminal. | 12:38 |
| Ayabara | Blissex, ok. right back :-) | 12:38 |
| Ayabara | Blissex, I got an error that "Server is already active for Display 0". What I tried was logging in and typing startx. The wrong command? | 12:40 |
| Blissex | Ayabara: yes. try 'startx -- :1' | 12:40 |
| Blissex | Ayabara: if you play around with both GNOME and KDE you can always use 'xinit' or 'xinit -- :1' and then type 'startkde' or 'gnome-session' in the resulting terminal window. | 12:42 |
| MGalaxy | Hi, I need a software to mount .ISO and .BIN images with "Automount After Restart" feature, any solution? | 12:42 |
| Blissex | Ayabara: BTW, you haven't yet said what you mean by "networking does not work" | 12:42 |
| Blissex | MGalaxy: yes. | 12:42 |
| ScottG | I would imagine internet connection, Blissex | 12:43 |
| janelle | how is everyone? | 12:43 |
| ScottG | hello janelle | 12:43 |
| jussi01 | hi janelle | 12:43 |
| Blissex | ScottG: "internet connection" is almost as dumb as "networking does not work"... | 12:43 |
| Ayabara | Blissex, and now networking of course works fine :-) | 12:43 |
| etfb | Possible solution to the Firefox problems I was mentioning earlier! http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/blogs/integrating_firefox_and_thunderbird_into_kde | 12:43 |
| ScottG | I'm well, you? | 12:43 |
| Blissex | Ayabara: good, good, good. | 12:43 |
| etfb | Firefox doesn't integrate well into Kubuntu. The above link claims to fix many of the problems. Yay! | 12:43 |
| ScottG | Blissex.. do you think calling someone dumb is constructive? | 12:44 |
| Ayabara | Blissex, I'm gonna reboot and see if it works on the first kde-start. thanks for educating | 12:44 |
| Ayabara | Blissex, because I didn't know what was not working, and now I hope I never find out. | 12:44 |
| MGalaxy | Blissex: what is it? | 12:44 |
| janelle | fixing to install and try kubuntu alternate cd | 12:44 |
| Blissex | Ayabara: the key to checking network connections is first to check with 'ping' first locally and then remotely... | 12:44 |
| Ayabara | Blissex, and the phrasing _was_ kinda dumb, so I'm not too offended ;-) | 12:45 |
| elvirolo | hi everyone | 12:45 |
| Ayabara | anyway. I'll reboot and take it from there. | 12:45 |
| ScottG | I think "internet connection" is accepted as a term meaning "connection to the public internet" but I'll drop it right there. | 12:45 |
| elvirolo | can one transfer mp3's to 5th gen Ipods using amarok under kubuntu ? | 12:46 |

| Eds | Janelle, you shouldnt have an issue, i have machines at work that get a fresh OS every 2 days :P they have been running fine for 3 years | 12:52 |
| ScottG | xubuntu is a lighter 'buntu version :) | 12:52 |
| ScottG | oh.. nm | 12:52 |
| ScottG | you mean repeatedly installing different distros.. | 12:52 |
| janelle | im horrible with making choices because i feel the need to consider everything | 12:53 |
| cptR3D | jussi01: <cptR3D> jussi01: upon restart I got the same option to chose or contine so i contued and it loaded just fine but it still froze when i oped the lid | 12:53 |

| jussi01 | cptR3D: i got it... have patience.. | 12:53 |
| ScottG | well.. not one particular distro will be perfect in every way.. you have to pick the one that fits best | 12:53 |
| Eds | janelle, I know your pain, im still working out what to use, Kubuntu, OpenSuSE or PCLinux | 12:53 |

| Ayabara | Blissex: knetwork-manager says "no active device". then I started a gnome-session with networking. then the kde session detected something and asked me for the wep-key. | 12:55 |
| raymears | hello, everyone. i have a slight problemo over here. i installed ubuntu on my machine (kubuntu wouldn't install), then used apt-get install kubuntu-something to install kubuntu, then removed gnome with sudo apt-get remove gnome-* and apt-get remove gdm. | 12:56 |
| ScottG | raymears: and? | 12:56 |
| raymears | no i have no sound, cannot shutdown the computer (it freezes) and most of the services are shown as not running | 12:56 |
| janelle | how has gutsy been quality wise scottg and eds | 12:57 |
| Blissex | Ayabara: you should have said instead of "networking does not work" that you had WiFi access to your LAN. *which* networking does not work matters a great deal. | 12:57 |
| raymears | amarok does not start, even killall only works from time to time | 12:57 |
| Eds | janelle, jump over to the #kubuntu-offtopic channel :P | 12:57 |
| janelle | okie dokie | 12:57 |
| raymears | mostly it does not work, though | 12:57 |
| Blissex | Ayabara: in theory your Kubuntu should activate the WiFi interface before starting the GUI. | 12:57 |
| Ayabara | Blissex: only problem is that I did not know what the problem was at the time | 12:57 |
| Ayabara | ok | 12:57 |
| ScottG | janelle, join #kubuntu-offtopic Eds and I are talking there | 12:58 |
| raymears | basically my computer is unusable. any suggestions? | 12:58 |
| Blissex | Ayabara: so you should use the Ubuntu network manager to ensure that the WiFi comes up at boot regardless. As to the WiFi key/passphrase you will have to put it into some kind of file. | 12:58 |
| Blissex | raymears: sounds like hw problems. | 12:59 |
| raymears | nope. | 12:59 |
| raymears | gnome worked like a charm | 12:59 |
| Ayabara | Blissex: the wep is entered, so that works. I think I'm ok for now | 12:59 |
| Blissex | raymears: BTW, removing all of GNOME is not a good idea, because some Ubuntu GUI configuration apps are GNOME only. | 12:59 |
| Ayabara | how do I disable touchpad tapping in kubuntu? | 13:00 |

| jussi01 | !xinerama > zerlord^ | 13:02 |
| Blissex | raymears: reinztalling GNOME might me a good idea. Then use Aptitude or Synaptics to remove the less useful bits, like the front-end gui elements. | 13:07 |

| OsamaK | Hello all! Is there a tornet link for KUbuntu? if yes, please give to me.. | 14:09 |
| Ayabara | noaXess: sry, I didn't understand that. you meant I can install a package that will make it work? | 14:09 |

| Lynoure | astan: (Sorry, I was away doing some work, looking at thet log now) | 14:21 |
| cef | so, who do I shoot for the fact that the nvidia binary modules in the gutsy livecd are missing? | 14:22 |
| astan | Lynoure: thanks.. i did some googling and found some bug reports with similar logs here and there.. :/ | 14:22 |
| astan | similar but not identical. | 14:22 |
| Lynoure | astan: this is probably not the cause, but do you have your wireless (eth1) in /etc/network/interfaces ? It often confuses networkmanager | 14:23 |
| OsamaK | jussi01: Is Alternate install CD the best for me? | 14:23 |
| OsamaK | jussi01: Before I leave, Thank you a lot for your helping ;) | 14:24 |
| jussi01 | OsamaK: either is fine | 14:24 |
| cef | can someone confirm oi I grab the gutsy kubuntu alternative CD that once I install that the nvidia driver will actually be there and usable? | 14:25 |
| cef | err oi = if | 14:25 |
| astan | Lynoure: nope. i did that mistake a while ago, that prevents nm from configuring the device at all, so it's not in my /etc/network/interfaces at all now :( | 14:26 |
| jussi01 | cef: no, it will attempt to download it iirc. | 14:27 |
| cef | jussi01: yeah but alternate doesn't need a gui, right? | 14:27 |
| Lynoure | astan: are you on gutsy? | 14:27 |
| jussi01 | cef: correct. it uses ncurses iirc. | 14:27 |
| cef | jussi01: cos my nvidia card isn't supported by the free driver (well, most likely it's just the PCI ID's) | 14:27 |
| * OsamaK is going | 14:27 | |
| astan | Lynoure: yea. | 14:27 |
| jussi01 | OsamaK: bye and good luck | 14:28 |
| astan | Lynoure: the line "Dec 30 14:55:46 pyret NetworkManager: <info> Activation (eth1/wireless): disconnected during association, asking for new key." in the log is what pops up right when the connection fails, too bad it doesn't say more than that.. | 14:28 |
| Lynoure | astan: because the disconnects seem a bit on what I had on feisty, but for me that got fixed on gutsy. Foneras are not the easiest APs to get along, as the switch essids... | 14:28 |
| cef | jussi01: which makes installing it using the livecd impossible.... *sigh*.. ok.. time to download the alternate cd | 14:28 |
| astan | Lynoure: yea. hm. i can connect to the unencrypted network on the FON just fine. | 14:29 |
| astan | Lynoure: what wifi NIC do you have? i have a ipw3945. | 14:29 |
| astan | i'm going to buy a real AP for this house, it's just that now the FON is all i have. at work i have a linksys wrt54gl that works perfect. | 14:31 |

| macke_ | Is there any special trick to get a Audigy4 Sound card to work in Kubuntu 7.10? | 15:35 |
| antonio_ | ciao | 15:36 |
| macke_ | Heya | 15:36 |
| Jeroi | macke_ have you checked alsamixer? | 15:37 |
| mauri | someone had tied kubuntu 8.4 | 15:37 |
| mauri | someone had tied kubuntu 8.04? | 15:37 |
| Jeroi | oh yeah your soundsystem is muted totally? | 15:37 |
| Jeroi | !hardy | 15:37 |
| ubotu | Hardy 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 #ubuntu | 15:37 |
| macke_ | Jeroi: Alsamixer says its using my built in sound card, can i change that? | 15:38 |
| Jeroi | macke_ your first thing: disabel onboard sound from bioss | 15:38 |
| Jeroi | then install linux | 15:38 |
| Jeroi | but you have done it already | 15:39 |
| Jeroi | maybe | 15:39 |
| Jeroi | try kmix | 15:39 |
| antonio_ | kfjdsjg | 15:39 |
| Jeroi | k-menu->multimedia | 15:39 |
| macke_ | kmix, is using Audigy 4 | 15:39 |
| Jeroi | change your mixer | 15:39 |
| Jeroi | ok | 15:39 |
| Jeroi | you need to change alsamixer using audigy also | 15:40 |
| macke_ | How do i do that? | 15:40 |
| Jeroi | !alsa | 15:41 |
| ubotu | If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ARTS is running, by going to K Menu -> System Settings -> Sound System and making sure "Enable the sound system" is checked. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3 | 15:41 |
| Jeroi | !audigy | 15:42 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about audigy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 15:42 |
| Jeroi | edit alsaconf | 15:44 |
| Jeroi | I veliev | 15:44 |
| macke_ | I altered the sound card in System settings > Sound System, Now its restarting my sound card | 15:46 |
| macke_ | Have reached 100% like 5 times now | 15:46 |
| Jeroi | does it work? | 15:46 |
| Jeroi | type into console: alsaconf | 15:47 |
| macke_ | Nope, its restarting | 15:47 |
| Jeroi | run it | 15:47 |
| macke_ | command not found | 15:47 |
| flaccid | i've never heard of alsaconf | 15:47 |
| flaccid | try testing with aplay first | 15:47 |
| jnp3134 | macke_: do you have an Audigy4 Pro or non-Pro? | 15:47 |
| tzd99 | need help with my BT headset please (using kubuntu gutsy gibbon) | 15:47 |
| flaccid | macke_: you can also try sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart | 15:48 |
| Jeroi | root@Jeroi:~/.kde/share/config# apt-cache search alsa conf | 15:49 |

| macke_ | It is not a PRO its normal audigy 4 | 15:50 |
| flaccid | that is just a keyword search for alsa + conf .. | 15:50 |
| Jeroi | yes | 15:50 |
| flaccid | so how does it help | 15:50 |
| Jeroi | but did give quite good results? | 15:50 |
| Jeroi | asoundconf-gtk - Applet to select the default ALSA sound card | 15:51 |
| Jeroi | isint that just what hes looking for? | 15:51 |
| flaccid | providing two search keywords isn't really going to help | 15:51 |
| jnp3134 | macke:Go to K Menu>System>Konsole and type "asoundconf list". Does it show your Audigy4 card? | 15:51 |
| flaccid | asoundconf-gtk is not a part of kubuntu Jeroi | 15:51 |
| macke_ | Command not found | 15:52 |
| Jeroi | yes | 15:52 |
| Jeroi | alsaconf is that blue configuration script | 15:52 |
| macke_ | If i go into "alsamixer" and press F2 i can see my audigy card there, but i have no idea how i choose it | 15:52 |
| Jeroi | I used it when I was using edgy | 15:53 |
| BluesKaj | kdesu kate /.asoundrc | 15:53 |
| flaccid | macke_: did you try aplay yet, for example aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav | 15:53 |
| macke_ | flaccid: No sound there | 15:53 |
| flaccid | macke_: what does the command return | 15:53 |
| macke_ | Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono | 15:54 |
| flaccid | ok but no error? | 15:54 |
| macke_ | Nope | 15:54 |
| flaccid | macke_: run the command alsamixer and ensure the required channels are not muted and are turned up also check kmix | 15:54 |
| juluss | hello, i'm french, so excuse for my english | 15:55 |
| Jeroi | flaccid hes problemn is that alsamixer uses onboard chip | 15:55 |
| flaccid | Jeroi: why is that a problem? | 15:55 |
| Jeroi | he wants to change alsamixer to use audigy 4 | 15:55 |
| macke_ | Yes :) | 15:55 |
| juluss | i've just bought a lenovo N200, and i have no sound | 15:55 |
| flaccid | lets see if it already is. macke_ does it list details at top left in alsamixer? | 15:55 |

| BluesKaj | juluss, would you rather join a francais chat ? | 15:56 |
| BluesKaj | kdesu kate /.asoundrc | 15:56 |
| juluss | BluesKaj: no, yesterday they can't help me... | 15:56 |
| jnp3134 | macke_: I didn't have much luck with this, but you could try installing the default sound card selector utility. Go to K Menu>Add/Remove Programs and search for "default sound card" | 15:56 |
| juluss | today, i try english | 15:56 |
| tzd | wouldnt it work if you downloaded the drivers from: www.realtek.com.tw ? | 15:56 |
| juluss | tzd: no | 15:57 |
| tzd | juluss: ok | 15:57 |
| juluss | my sound card is realtek 861VD | 15:57 |
| Jeroi | chip that is | 15:57 |
| juluss | so i try with driver on realtek.com.tw | 15:57 |
| flaccid | macke_: so you have a audigy and want to swap it? | 15:57 |
| Jeroi | your sound chip | 15:57 |
| Jeroi | flaccid yes he does | 15:57 |
| Jeroi | thtas hes problem | 15:58 |
| BluesKaj | juluss,in the konsole : asoundconf set-default-card "name of soundcard" | 15:58 |
| macke_ | flaccid: I have Audigy 4 and i want to use it as default | 15:58 |
| flaccid | Jeroi: and what is the solution Jeroi? | 15:58 |
| juluss | BluesKaj: ok i try | 15:58 |
| Jeroi | I dont know | 15:58 |
| Jeroi | maybe editint asoundconf | 15:58 |
| tzd | BluesKaj: you've got blue in your nick... does that mean you are good with bluetooth settings?? :) | 15:58 |
| flaccid | macke_: do as BluesKaj suggested. check the soundcard name in asoundconf list | 15:58 |
| shampoonator | flglxstill not working.. tried everything :( | 15:58 |
| Jeroi | I dont have that file tho | 15:59 |
| BluesKaj | nope, I'm a drummer in a blues-rock band :) | 15:59 |
| flaccid | asoundconf is a binary | 15:59 |
| Jeroi | when I tested that | 15:59 |
| tzd | ^^ worth a shot ;) | 15:59 |
| shampoonator | the funny thing is that flglx is in my xorg.conf now and the X is runniung.. but glxinfo just throws out the mesa driver :( | 15:59 |
| BluesKaj | yup tzd :) | 15:59 |
| macke_ | Dont have asoundconf | 15:59 |
| flaccid | macke_: ubuntu release? | 15:59 |
| macke_ | flaccid: Kubuntu 7.10 | 16:00 |
| tzd | anyone else here that perhaps uses their Bluetooth headset with skype or something else and can explain 1 minor detail please? | 16:00 |
| flaccid | what does the command which asoundconf return? | 16:00 |
| Jeroi | yes | 16:00 |
| shampoonator | anyone got a raedon 9800 pro running under kubuntu? | 16:00 |
| juan | how do you disable shadow on menus? | 16:00 |
| macke_ | flaccid: if i start alsamixer and press F2 i can see my audigy card there | 16:00 |
| juluss | BluesKaj: what's the name of sound card in your command ? | 16:00 |
| Jeroi | macke_ type: asoundconf | 16:01 |
| juluss | snd-hda-intel or 861VD ?? | 16:01 |
| BluesKaj | shampoonator, you running the ATI proprietary driver or the default restricted | 16:01 |
| macke_ | Jeroi: Yeah? | 16:01 |
| Jeroi | what did it give? | 16:01 |
| shampoonator | tried both.. both doesnt work :( | 16:01 |
| Jeroi | some commands and help? | 16:01 |
| flaccid | how did that command go macke_ | 16:01 |
| juan | how do you disable shadow on menus? the kde setting is messing with compiz | 16:02 |

| BluesKaj | juluss,to find the name of you audio card: cat /proc/asound/cards | 16:02 |
| flaccid | macke_: now set the card as per the command BluesKaj advised using the name of the audigy card given | 16:02 |
| BluesKaj | your | 16:02 |
| Jeroi | macke type: asoundconf list | 16:02 |
| Jeroi | then it lists your audio chips | 16:02 |
| macke_ | Jeroi: Yeah i did that, got two cards | 16:03 |
| shampoonator | i tried running the restricted drivers => no 3d i tried installing the ati driver from their webpage => no 3d.. after that i tried the radeon drivers => no 3d | 16:03 |
| Jeroi | asoundconf set-default-card PARAMETER | 16:03 |
| shampoonator | once uppon a time.... i had 3d | 16:03 |
| shampoonator | and it was simple *sigh | 16:03 |
| jnp3134 | macke_: you can get asoundconf by going to K Menu>System>Adept Manager. Search for "alsa-utils" and install it (if it isn't already installed | 16:03 |
| flaccid | jnp3134: its installed by default and asoundconf is working | 16:04 |
| flaccid | macke_: so asoundconf set-default-card audigy | 16:04 |
| macke_ | YAY! | 16:04 |
| Jeroi | works? | 16:04 |
| === juan is now known as Xplicit | ||
| flaccid | you got that now? | 16:04 |
| macke_ | Aye, aplay works but not Amarok | 16:05 |
| flaccid | restart amarok and make sure the right device is selected in its config | 16:05 |
| Jeroi | edit amarok preferences | 16:05 |
| BluesKaj | shampoonator, in order to revert to the default restricted driver , (that's my reommendation) you have to make tsure the otherproprietary driver isn't loading , the only way is to uninstall it | 16:05 |
| Xplicit | always test sound with speaker-test -c2 -Ddefault -t wav | 16:06 |
| shampoonator | mmh | 16:06 |
| flaccid | shampoonator: use restricted-manager-kde | 16:06 |
| shampoonator | flaccid: i did.. didnt work | 16:06 |
| flaccid | !doesntwork | shampoonator | 16:06 |
| ubotu | shampoonator: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 16:06 |
| macke_ | Yeah, Amarok worked after restart | 16:06 |
| shampoonator | it does not work => i have no 3d acceleration | 16:06 |
| flaccid | what type of 3d acceleration | 16:07 |
| shampoonator | i disabled aiglx in xorg.conf and composit thingi | 16:07 |
| shampoonator | glxinfo type :D | 16:07 |
| Xplicit | jnp3134: where do you get the audigy from is it the card listed under "asoundconf list" | 16:07 |
| flaccid | what chip is this shampoonator | 16:07 |
| macke_ | Now its just my Graphic card that needs to work :9 | 16:07 |
| shampoonator | ati raedon 9800 pro | 16:07 |
| Jeroi | macke_ what gfx card? | 16:08 |
| flaccid | shampoonator: ok well im on a 9600 | 16:08 |
| jnp3134 | Xplicit: yes - audigy should be listed under asoundconf list, if it is installed | 16:08 |
| flaccid | shampoonator: pastebin glxinfo and xorg.conf please | 16:08 |
| macke_ | Jeroi: im not sure, only that it is Nvidia | 16:08 |
| shampoonator | it worked under edgy mmh | 16:08 |
| Jeroi | !nvidia | 16:08 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 16:08 |
| BluesKaj | shampoonator, uninstalling instructions are down the page a bit : https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/linux_cat712-inst.html | 16:08 |
| Xplicit | i just did a similar thing to get ICH5 but now that the speaker-test program doesnt even work, it may be a hardware error so im going to go get my other card | 16:09 |
| flaccid | BluesKaj: restricted-manager does that, unless shampoonator did not install from repos | 16:09 |
| marius__ | can anyone tell me how cccan i restore my title bar for all my windows | 16:09 |
| macke_ | Jeroi: Thanks i think it worked, atleast it says i shall restart comp | 16:10 |
| Jeroi | np | 16:10 |
| shampoonator | http://pastebin.ca/838700 here and http://pastebin.ca/838698 here @ flaccid | 16:10 |
| juluss | re | 16:11 |
| BluesKaj | flaccid, not necessarily ..if the driver wasn't uninstalled it won't show that it wasn't, and then the wrong driver will reload after the next bootup | 16:11 |
| flaccid | restricted manager removes the other driver BluesKaj | 16:11 |
| flaccid | shampoonator: ok what is the output of dpkg -l | grep restricted-manager | 16:12 |
| jnp3134 | jeroi: I have a problem similar to macke_, only my second sound card is an echoaudio mia. I can install the audio drivers and have both cards show up, but I cannot select my onboard sound as the default in Amarok. I have already tried "asoundconf set-default-card Mia, to no avail. Any ideas? | 16:13 |
| shampoonator | http://pastebin.ca/838707 | 16:13 |
| flaccid | shampoonator: ok now goto kdesu restricted-manager-kde . what does it say about the video card? | 16:14 |
| shampoonator | well its aktivated.... | 16:15 |
| juluss | so i thinks there are no way to install a hda-intel ich8 | 16:15 |
| juluss | or realtek 861VD | 16:15 |
| Jeroi | jnp3134 I think alsamixer uses that soundchip wich is default soundchip in alsa | 16:16 |
| Jeroi | amarok | 16:16 |
| Xplicit | is there an alternative to using echo "compiz --replace" > ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh ; chmod +x ~/.kde/Autostart/startcompiz.sh | 16:16 |
| Xplicit | to start compiz automatically, i ve banned /home from having executable files | 16:16 |
| macke_ | Graphic and sound cards are working nicely :9 | 16:16 |
| flaccid | which one is activated, the restricted one yes? | 16:16 |
| Jeroi | nice macke_ | 16:17 |
| flaccid | shampoonator: this is what you have to do, its important. uncheck it and apply let it do its thing then exit. then go back into it and check it again and exit. don't restart at all. then pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf again then i will give you the right xorg.conf then you will just need to restart | 16:18 |
| Jeroi | jnp3134 I think you just enbale your second soundchip from amarok settings | 16:21 |
| Jeroi | soundsystem | 16:21 |
| Jeroi | enable alsa | 16:21 |
| Jeroi | then edit default | 16:21 |
| Jeroi | type there your mobo soundchip name | 16:21 |
| Jeroi | there is default for mono and stereo | 16:22 |
| Jeroi | aswell as for surround also | 16:22 |
| flaccid | !punctuation | Jeroi | 16:22 |
| ubotu | Jeroi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! | 16:22 |
| jnp3134 | jeroi: let me give that a try | 16:22 |
| shampoonator | well, my xorg.conf stil kooks the same flaccid | 16:23 |
| Jeroi | can someone explain what the word punctuation means? | 16:23 |
| Voyage_ | i need to send mails. do i need an mta and a listserv? | 16:23 |
| flaccid | shampoonator: exactly? | 16:23 |
| shampoonator | yes | 16:23 |
| flaccid | shampoonator: ok so restricted manager has looked after the packages. now backup your xorg.conf and overwrite it with this one: http://pastebin.ca/838719 | 16:24 |
| flaccid | then restart computer and see how it goes | 16:24 |
| jnp3134 | jeroi: when I select alsa as the output pugn in Amarok, I get this message: "xine was unable to initialize any audio drivers." | 16:24 |
| * Voyage_ shrugs | 16:25 | |
| Jeroi | I cant help then | 16:25 |
| Jeroi | maybe install drivers? | 16:25 |
| jnp3134 | jeroi: ok - I'm going to try reinstalling the latest version of alsa direct from alsa-project.org | 16:26 |
| shampoonator | reboot | 16:28 |

| bmack | yes i cant get that to work when i enable it i get a error at startup saying starting powernowd.. ect/rc2.d/s20powernowd: 156: cannot create /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0//cpufreq/scaling_governor: dir non existant | 17:20 |

| tanob | or a solution | 17:21 |
| bmack | so i have to edit xorg.conf back to vesa just to get it to boot up | 17:21 |

| anakin_ | oh. alright.just wondering whether the 8600GTS would run on my 350W PSU. | 17:23 |
| tekstacy | anakin, um, I would personally upgrade. 500w are dirt cheap now, and 1000 arn't too bad either | 17:24 |
| NickPresta | anakin_, what does the 8600 GT require on the 12V rail? | 17:24 |
| Artimus | tanob: Try editing /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc . Look for ServerArgsLocal. Add "-dpi 96" to the end. Hope you're comfortable doing that... | 17:26 |

| ubotu | n00b-q33n: You should avoid changing your nick in a busy channel like #ubuntu - it causes unrequired scrolling which is unfair on new users. The same goes for using noisy away messages : use the command "/away <reason>" to set your client away silently - See also !Guidelines | 17:34 |

| Ryck | hi | 17:35 |
| BluesKaj | llutz, does that command, sh file.bin work as well or sh file.deb ? | 17:35 |
| bmack | how can i tell what video card driver i have installed? | 17:36 |
| pag | BluesKaj, sudo dpkg -i file.deb ;) | 17:36 |
| flaccid | bmack: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep -i driver . also check kdesu restricted-manager-kde | 17:37 |
| ubuntu_ | my linux on the boot up screen doesnt boot | 17:37 |

| === pekka is now known as Pezi | ||

| bmack | ok | 17:38 |
| NickPresta | ubuntu_, that is the shell (not DOS). Did this happen right after an update or change to your xorg.conf? | 17:38 |
| ubuntu_ | ye | 17:38 |
| ubuntu_ | right after | 17:38 |
| pag | which one? | 17:38 |
| NickPresta | ubuntu_, which one? xorg.conf change or graphic update? | 17:38 |
| ubuntu_ | it was the compiz conf i think | 17:38 |
| ubuntu_ | i have the back up saved | 17:38 |
| ubuntu_ | but i cant access it now | 17:39 |
| ubuntu_ | cause i booted from the cd | 17:39 |
| pag | ubuntu_, erm... yes you can? chroot <3 | 17:39 |
| flaccid | you can log in ubuntu_ and run startx to see what the problem might be as well | 17:39 |
| BluesKaj | pag some of the debs will install with deb installer pkg that is an option in gutsy, but was merely wondering about the "sh" command | 17:39 |
| NickPresta | ubuntu_, you can still mount your partitions from the liveCD | 17:39 |
| ubuntu_ | so what would u suggest i type in konsole at boot up screen? | 17:39 |
| NickPresta | ubuntu_, or, you can login via the text interface and edit your xorg.conf or remove compiz (ask if you don't know how to do that via console) | 17:40 |
| ubuntu_ | im like a beginner i wont know how to do all that stuff | 17:40 |
| pag | BluesKaj, sh file is pretty much the same as ./file - it just runs it. it doesn't define, what file will do. | 17:40 |
| ubuntu_ | i can choose windows from grub menu | 17:40 |
| ubuntu_ | and like every thing works fine but | 17:41 |
| ubuntu_ | all i see for kubuntu is the konsole screen shell | 17:41 |
| ubuntu_ | and tells me to log in and nothing happens | 17:41 |
| NickPresta | ubuntu_, well, if you think uninstalling compiz will fix your problems, there really isn't another way. you will have to do it via console | 17:41 |
| ubuntu_ | okay how would i do that then | 17:41 |
| flaccid | ubuntu_: i think you mentioned that already | 17:41 |
| ubuntu_ | i mean i got the back up config saved | 17:41 |
| ubuntu_ | but i cant access it | 17:41 |
| ubuntu_ | cause kubuntu wont let me long onto my original account | 17:42 |
| flaccid | why not, you can log and copy it back | 17:42 |
| NickPresta | ubuntu_, you would login with your username / password. then, you can remove compiz fusion: sudo apt-get remove compiz* emerald | 17:42 |
| flaccid | why won't it let you | 17:42 |
| flaccid | !doesntwork | ubuntu_ | 17:42 |
| ubotu | ubuntu_: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 17:42 |
| ubuntu_ | can i restore the configs i made? | 17:42 |
| flaccid | sure login and use the cp command to copy it back to /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:42 |
| NickPresta | ubuntu_, if you made a backup of your xorg.conf, you can restore it, yes | 17:42 |
| ubuntu_ | so whats the command for that? | 17:43 |
| NickPresta | sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:43 |
| NickPresta | assuming your backup is named xorg.conf.bak | 17:43 |
| ubuntu_ | would that fix all the backups i saved? | 17:43 |
| flaccid | where did you save the backup xorg.conf, ubuntu_ | 17:43 |
| ubuntu_ | yes | 17:43 |
| ubuntu_ | its on my desktop | 17:43 |
| ubuntu_ | on my original account | 17:44 |
| flaccid | what is the username of the account? | 17:44 |
| ubuntu_ | Mani213 | 17:44 |
| flaccid | then if its named xorg.conf still the command is sudo cp ~/Desktop/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:45 |
| BluesKaj | ok pag thx | 17:45 |
| ubuntu_ | so basicly i type in | 17:45 |
| ubuntu_ | sudo cp ~/Desktop/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:45 |
| flaccid | correct ubuntu_ | 17:46 |
| ubuntu_ | okay | 17:47 |
| ubuntu_ | let me try it | 17:47 |

| mauri | I mount dvd movie image with: "sudo mount image.iso /media/iso/ -t iso9660 -o loop" but the player does not start automatically | 18:09 |
| Dr_willis | Hmm.. i got stuff in .Trash - guess that is where kde keeps it. | 18:10 |
| DexterF | Dr_willis: nope | 18:10 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: for more than 10 mn | 18:10 |
| DexterF | its an NFS share I should mention... oh.. perhaps the servers trash... | 18:10 |
| jhutchins | mauri: Have you configured the system to launch DVD's with a particular player on mount? | 18:11 |
| Dr_willis | actually.. it dont.. i just deleted somthing its not in .Trash | 18:11 |
| DexterF | ubuntu_: a tad long indeed. um, what are you installing, Ubuntu or Kubuntu? | 18:11 |
| ubuntu_ | kubuntu | 18:11 |
| Dr_willis | DexterF, use konqueror and look in --> trash:/ | 18:11 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: kubuntu | 18:11 |
| DexterF | Dr_willis: aha! thanks :) | 18:12 |
| jhutchins | ubuntu_: Is this a cd you burned yourself? | 18:12 |
| ardchoille | Isn't kde trash in ~/.local/share/Trash ? | 18:12 |
| Dr_willis | I would be very suprised IF the system Auto-played dvd's when you mounted the .iso image | 18:12 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: : yes* | 18:12 |
| Dr_willis | ardchoille, that may be it! :) i was thinking .kde/share/Trash | 18:12 |
| DexterF | ubuntu_: disk activity? disk noise? system responding at all? mouse movement etc | 18:13 |
| Dr_willis | I wonder how/where .Trash came from. | 18:13 |
| jhutchins | ubuntu_ Did you verify the md5sum of the iso file? | 18:13 |
| ardchoille | Dr_willis: iirc, gnome keeps trash in ~/.trash | 18:13 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: yes | 18:13 |
| DexterF | ubuntu_: how big is the disk? did you tell it to format? kub alone or was windows on it before? | 18:13 |
| Dr_willis | ardchoille, so much for standards. :) heh heh. | 18:13 |
| ardchoille | Dr_willis: lol | 18:13 |
| jhutchins | ubuntu_: What did you do to verify the CD when you burned it? | 18:13 |
| Dr_willis | I thought that Freedesktop.org had some sort of 'trash standard' :) that both kde/gome followed. | 18:14 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: both windows and kubuntu were on it | 18:14 |
| Dr_willis | I guess I could link .Trash to .local/share/Trash | 18:14 |
| DexterF | ubuntu_: well, perfectly possible it dropped IO modes to PIO for safety or such, wouldn't be the first time. how big is that disk you said? | 18:14 |
| DexterF | (PIO means slow, takes real long to write something) | 18:14 |

| kaminix | Dr_willis: Seem to have found a repo holding mac. Still strange it's not included by default though. :o Isn't ape Free Software? | 18:17 |
| jhutchins | mauri: Where would you get the extra languages and subtitles? | 18:17 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: the operation is cancelled after a timeout and the button "next" is disabled | 18:18 |
| mauri | jhutchins: I would like to choose languages or subtiles though the playr | 18:18 |
| mauri | jhutchins: I would like to choose languages or subtiles though the player | 18:18 |
| jhutchins | mauri: If they're not on the original DVD, where are they going to come from? | 18:18 |
| mauri | jhutchins: of course, they are existing in the dvd | 18:19 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: it works, many thanks | 18:19 |
| Dr_willis | kaminix, i cant recall ever using ape. Its possible it dosent have the proper licensing. | 18:19 |
| jhutchins | mauri: So what is it you need to do then? What player are you using? | 18:19 |
| Dr_willis | mauri, ive seen .mkv and other video files with Multi Audio and multi Subtitle tracks.. so i guess its possible. :) | 18:20 |
| jhutchins | !it | mauri | 18:20 |
| ubotu | mauri: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 18:20 |
| mauri | jhutchins: my idea is to learn english. The player should be vlc for example | 18:20 |
| DexterF | ubuntu_: finished normally? | 18:20 |
| ardchoille | mauri: k9copy and acidrip both have features that allow you to choose which langs and sub get copied | 18:20 |
| ardchoille | s/sub/subs/ | 18:21 |
| Dr_willis | Learning English from Subtitles.. :) if that worked - i would be able to Speak Jappanese by now. given all the anime ive watched/read. | 18:21 |
| jhutchins | mauri: Ok, I know for mplayer there is information on the man page for how to use subtitles and alternative languages, VLC is a little simplere, but try the man page. | 18:21 |
| mauri | ardchoille: i'm speaking about to have a divx and not mp2 format | 18:21 |
| jhutchins | mauri: # vlc in konq. | 18:21 |
| ardchoille | mauri: It's been a while since I used it, but I seem to remember acidrip being able to do divx | 18:22 |
| mauri | jhutchins: my question was...how to convert dvd to divx having more than subtiles and languages | 18:22 |
| kristjan_ | hey I can't change .wav id tags in amarok - why? | 18:22 |
| jhutchins | mauri: Oh, I understand now. | 18:23 |
| mauri | ardchoille: with the possibile to have subtiles and languges | 18:23 |
| ardchoille | mauri: Hmm.. not sure, but I know a way to find out :) | 18:23 |
| jhutchins | mauri: I'm pretty sure you can do that. mplayer, avidemux, or tovid would work. | 18:24 |
| jhutchins | mauri: ffmpeg | 18:24 |
| wietse | happy new year everyone :-p | 18:24 |

| Solifugus | my upgrade to 7.10 failed.. and I am afraid of rebooting now. | 18:27 |
| Solifugus | has one of these upgrades ever worked for anyone at all? they never have for me for any distro.. | 18:27 |
| Solifugus | except for debian.. which kubuntu clearly is not.. | 18:28 |
| Solifugus | real question: can I re-install from disk while preserving my old data? | 18:29 |
| Blissex | Solifugus: if you have been careful and reinstall paying attention to the prompts, yes. | 18:29 |
| k4ever | hi all. | 18:29 |
| Blissex | Solifugus: I have done lots of upgrades and they worked for me. But I am very careful and I know my way around the package and dependency systems inside out... | 18:30 |
| Solifugus | Blissex: ok.. i will try that.. I could not get my work off because kubuntu's scp stalls at random times on large uploads (but not downloads). | 18:31 |
| Blissex | Solifugus: the best advice is to put '/' and '/home' in different partitions. Of you keep significant state in '/var', that should also be a different filesystem. | 18:31 |
| jhutchins | Solifugus: That's easiest if the data is on a different partition. You can make a backup of it to somewhere else, then do the install. | 18:31 |
| Solifugus | Blissex: too late to partition.. it's all one right now | 18:31 |
| Blissex | Solifugus: file transfers stalling on uploads is a well know issue due to ISP settings. | 18:31 |
| jhutchins | I keep most of my data on servers that don't get updated much. | 18:31 |
| k4ever | i have 3 computers with kubuntu on them. is there an automated way that i can install the same packages on all of the computers? | 18:32 |
| Solifugus | Blissex: is there a well know fix? | 18:32 |
| jhutchins | Solifugus: I find that single-partition works best for me. If I use multiple partitions, the space I need is always on the wrong partition. | 18:32 |
| Solifugus | Blissex: I was trying to scp to a local machine--just one switch between on same subnet | 18:32 |
| jhutchins | Solifugus: I've had to symlink some essential system directories into the /home partition because some twit put all the space there. | 18:32 |
| Solifugus | jhutchins: actually.. i have two hard drives.. so let me take a look. | 18:32 |
| jhutchins | Solifugus: Burn it to DVD or CD. | 18:33 |
| Blissex | Solifugus: note also that RSYNC is much, much much better than SCP especially for backups. Use 'rsync -axHS --delete' to get exact tree copies (You may need to add '-AX' if you use ACLs/XATTRs). | 18:33 |
| Solifugus | jhutchins: burning is good.. but it'll take a lot of dvds.... | 18:33 |
| Dr_willis | k4ever, you may want to set up one box as an apt-caching type server - that way each box wont have to download each package also. | 18:33 |
| jhutchins | Solifugus: Sounds like you should consider an external HD for backup. | 18:34 |
| Dr_willis | k4ever, easy way to get identicalpackages on all the box's is to just make a script that installs them. | 18:34 |
| Blissex | Solifugus: for copying on the same LAN usually either you have really huge LAN problem or it is poor TCP and flusher setup in '/etc/sysctl.conf' | 18:34 |
| romunov | when i try to mount a usb pen, it gives me the error "can't read superblock"... any thoughts? | 18:34 |
| jhutchins | Dr_willis: kubuntu must have something like kickstart where you can template a system. | 18:34 |
| jhutchins | romunov: Does the pen mount on other systems? | 18:34 |
| jhutchins | romunov: How old is it? Has it been used much? | 18:35 |
| Solifugus | Blissex: it's all however kubuntu sets up by default.. the LAN is very simple and works fine.. I've also had the same problem on our LAN at work... | 18:35 |
| k4ever | Dr_willis: how do i do that? | 18:35 |
| Blissex | Solifugus: the defaults are often very bad, especially for 1gb/s LAN speeds. | 18:35 |
| Blissex | Solifugus: and especially for machines with lots of RAM and fast disks. The defaults are good for 10mb/s LANS with 4GB disks and 64MB of RAM... | 18:36 |
| Solifugus | Blissex: I wonder why.. I'd have though what's good for slow is even better for fast.. (I have two 100GB drives, 2GB RAM, Intel core duo on 100mb/s LAN at home and gigabit at work--who uses 10mb/s anymore?) | 18:38 |
| Dr_willis | k4ever, a script with a bunch of 'sudo apt-get install whatever ' lines. :) then ssh to the box's and run the script | 18:38 |
| Blissex | Solifugus: just legacy thinking. | 18:38 |
| Blissex | Solifugus: check out http://WWW.sabi.co.UK/blog/0707jul.html#070701b | 18:38 |
| Solifugus | Blissex: I might try rsync.. need to setup my backup machine again. | 18:39 |
| |Quest| | is there a way that i can run 2 os simultaniously. xp and ubuntu at the same time. but independent of each other.? | 18:40 |
| Blissex | |Quest|: sure, if you are willing to pay. | 18:40 |
| |Quest| | Blissex is the solution software or hardwar?E | 18:40 |
| Blissex | |Quest|: both... | 18:40 |
| |Quest| | dont say . but 2 computers | 18:41 |
| jhutchins | |Quest|: That's what virtualization is all about. vmware, xen, etc. | 18:41 |
| * |Quest| shrugs | 18:41 | |
| |Quest| | jhutchins no.. in virtualisation. one os is dependant of another | 18:41 |
| |Quest| | i dont want that | 18:41 |
| jhutchins | Well, get a kvm and do it the primitive way then. I would suggest you learn more about virtualization. | 18:42 |
| Blissex | |Quest|: Xen is an operating system that can run both XP and GNU Linux in independent runtime partitions. | 18:42 |
| kristjan_ | how to convert .wav files to flac? | 18:42 |
| Blissex | Solifugus: for TCp optim also http://proj.sunet.se/E2E/tcptune.html | 18:42 |
| Blissex | kristjan_: the 'flac' command does that. | 18:42 |
| kristjan_ | Blissex: do I have to install flac? | 18:43 |
| Blissex | Solifugus: also note that SSH default encryption is fairly slow | 18:43 |
| kristjan_ | Blissex: I would prefer a gui tool if possible | 18:43 |
| Blissex | kristjan_: your questions have a flavour of the blindingly obvious. | 18:43 |
| Blissex | kristjan_: there are zillions of GUI frontends that rip and convert. Just do a search thru FreshMeat.net for pointers... | 18:43 |
| |Quest| | Blissex - well thats the main purpose of xen? and are you sure both will be independent in terms of hardware and software ? | 18:44 |
| kristjan_ | Blissex: zillions? are you sure? | 18:44 |
| kristjan_ | Blissex: I bet less than million | 18:44 |
| Blissex | |Quest|: yes sure. Otherwise you can ask IBM to sell you PART machines. | 18:44 |
| Greenery | kristjan_: try soundKonverter | 18:45 |
| Blissex | kristjan_: a zillion is a very flexible unit of measure. For example my manly appendage length is a zillion too :-) | 18:45 |
| |Quest| | ok | 18:45 |
| |Quest| | thanks Blissex | 18:45 |
| |Quest| | Blissex any other ways. or this is the only one. or the only best ? | 18:45 |

| romunov | jhutchins: and it worked fine until recently | 18:46 |
| dario | kubuntu italiano ? | 18:46 |
| romunov | jhutchins: i can see it in windows (xp), but i can't access it | 18:46 |

| k4ever | Dr_willis: i'm reading up on apt-cache and apt-proxy now. don't see what i need. i want to be able to install the same packages on all machines at once. or at least duplicate the packages installed on one machine to another. synaptic is supposed to be able to create a script to duplicate the installed packages but the script it creates is empty. | 18:48 |
| Dr_willis | k4ever, i just jot down all the packages i want in to a text file. or use a script i found that takes all the pacakges listing on one box. and can reinstall them | 18:49 |
| Blissex | k4ever: try the ''selection'' mechanism. | 18:50 |
| Dr_willis | #!/bin/bash | 18:50 |
| Dr_willis | sudo dpkg --get-selections | grep '[[:space:]]install$' | awk '{print $1}' > package_list | 18:50 |
| ilikepie | dpkg -list | 18:51 |
| Dr_willis | generates a listing of all installed pacakges On a box. You can then Import that list with...... | 18:51 |
| Dr_willis | cat package_list | xargs sudo apt-get install | 18:51 |
| Dr_willis | BUT you better be sure you want all in the list. :) | 18:51 |
| === Pupeno- is now known as Pupeno | ||
| Dr_willis | I normally edit the package_list, and trim out the video drivers and other parts that may only be needed on a specific machine | 18:52 |
| ilikepie | and that the computers are the same type for a copy and paste. | 18:52 |
| k4ever | Dr_willis: outstanding! just what i was looking for. i'm tired of all my machines having different packages installed on them. now i can get one machine like i like it then replicate all the others. | 18:53 |
| kristjan_ | Greenery: soundkonverter is pretty nice | 18:54 |
| zorglu_ | q. i look for a tool to monitor the network activity (something like 'top' for process) using only text. this is for a server of mine | 18:55 |
| Greenery | kristjan_: yup i love it very simple | 18:56 |
| Dr_willis | !info ntop | 18:56 |

| corey | hi | 18:56 |
| zorglu_ | Dr_willis: thanks :) | 18:56 |
| kaminix | Okay... now I have libmac2, but no mac program. :p | 18:57 |
| corey | any one has tried KDE4? | 18:57 |
| corey | Stable? | 18:57 |
| mith__ | where can i find log files (especially system log)? | 18:58 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: I have discovered why the installer couldn't perform the "disks check" step | 18:58 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: it's becasue | 18:58 |
| ardchoille | corey: It's not stable, it's an rc release. iirc, stable release is supposed to be in January | 18:58 |
| corey | the log file is in /var | 18:58 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: it's because I have my ipod connected | 18:58 |
| DexterF | aah, "because". now that explains everything. | 18:58 |
| Dr_willis | ntop dont seem to want to work right here.. Hmmm. | 18:58 |
| mith__ | thx corey | 18:58 |
| corey | np | 18:58 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: it's because I have my ipod connected | 18:59 |
| DexterF | ubuntu_: why do you connect an ipod to a machine youre installigna new os on? | 18:59 |
| zorglu_ | Dr_willis: i installed it. but running it display something more like a log of debug than anything | 18:59 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: I forgot it | 18:59 |
| DexterF | corey: I don't expect kde4 to be stable before 2009 | 18:59 |
| kaminix | Okaaay... soundKonverter does not list .ape among the supported file formats. | 18:59 |
| DexterF | ubuntu_: ok, but how did that affect the installation? | 18:59 |
| corey | really? | 18:59 |
| zorglu_ | Sun 30 Dec 2007 19:59:45 CET THREADMGMT[t3035794320]: SIH: Idle host scan thread terminated [p32368] <- Dr_willis this kind of things. is this normal ? | 19:00 |
| Dr_willis | zorglu_, thats how it works I guess. | 19:00 |
| corey | i thought there is gonna be a big release event in Jan | 19:00 |
| Dr_willis | Ive never used it befor. :) | 19:00 |
| zorglu_ | Dr_willis: hehe ok :) | 19:00 |
| mith__ | and in here where are they? i have a login problem :S | 19:00 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: the installer take the ipod as a disk, too | 19:00 |
| Dr_willis | zorglu_, reading 'man ntop' right now | 19:00 |
| DexterF | corey: totally. there's so much new, so much rebuilt from scratch, so many new apis and interfaces, it's gonna take a damn long time to work out all the teething troubles | 19:01 |
| DexterF | ubuntu_: well,ok, but that shouldn't be much of a problem. ah, maybe the installer scanned it for settings. kub has this migration wizard thing. | 19:01 |
| corey | indeed, DexterF | 19:01 |
| corey | heehee | 19:01 |
| corey | They had been delayed | 19:02 |
| mith__ | when i log in to kubuntu it takes me back to the login screen...but there aren't any messages | 19:02 |
| mith__ | can anybody help me? | 19:02 |
| corey | mith__, try different sessions? | 19:02 |
| DexterF | corey: when I treid the second beta I came to think this even didn't come near a beta, hardly anything worked at all, some features weren'timplemented at all and not to forget there's phonon. maybe things will straighten out now that phonon is officially part of qt | 19:03 |
| jussi01 | mith__: is your hdd full? | 19:03 |
| mith__ | i can log in in any sessions, and from the login screen as a "secure login" but with the real kde login i can't | 19:03 |
| mith__ | sorry for my bad english | 19:03 |
| mith__ | jussi0: i don't think so | 19:04 |
| corey | DexterF: Hmmmmm, u are right, that's actually the same as what I heared from others | 19:04 |
| jussi01 | !tab > mith__ | 19:04 |
| DexterF | ill stick with kde3 at least til 4.0.3 or 4.1 is out and I dont expect that to happen before the end of 2008 | 19:05 |
| corey | i had ubuntu? or Kubuntu? | 19:05 |
| corey | sorry | 19:05 |
| DexterF | mayber ill set up a tinkerbox tho... | 19:05 |
| mith__ | :$ sorry im new in irc | 19:05 |
| corey | i mean u had kubuntu or ubuntu | 19:05 |
| corey | thanks, DexterF | 19:05 |
| DarkTan_ | interesting..... | 19:05 |
| corey | I think I will stick with the current version for now... | 19:06 |
| mith__ | jussi01: that's why i searching the log files because i don't know what is the problem | 19:06 |
| DexterF | corey: you do knwo you can have kde3 and 4 installed parallel? | 19:07 |
| corey | yeah | 19:07 |
| corey | but i don't have big space of HD :p | 19:07 |
| mith__ | jussi01: 60% of my HDD is empty | 19:08 |
| DarkTan_ | can someone tell me what this means? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50144/ | 19:08 |
| jussi01 | mith__: have you applied a theme recently? or other changes? | 19:08 |
| Jeroi | Hey whu cant ubuntu mount my usb hard disk with ntfs filesystem? | 19:09 |
| Jeroi | hal-storage-removable-mount-all-options refused uid 1000 | 19:10 |
| corey | DexterF, although we are saying KDE4 is still not ready yet, I think no matter what it's still better than the buggy Gnome | 19:10 |
| Jeroi | I tested with testdisk utility that filesystem is ok and did write filesystem again with it and rebooted | 19:10 |
| jussi01 | Jeroi: this thread may help: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=601210 | 19:11 |
| DexterF | corey: beats me what people see in gnome. its ugly and the configuration is more cryptic than windows' registry. If I wanted a gtk based leightweight system I'd go for XFCE | 19:11 |
| DexterF | (which I consider every now and then :) ) | 19:11 |
| DarkTan_ | speaking of gnome, i accdentally installed it, how do i make it go away? | 19:11 |
| DexterF | hardly | 19:12 |
| DexterF | at least not 100% | 19:12 |
| mith__ | jussi01: yes i have changed some unused partitions mount point :$ :D | 19:12 |
| romunov | apt-get remove gnome-desktop? | 19:12 |
| corey | ha :) | 19:12 |
| corey | yah | 19:12 |
| DarkTan_ | ahhh, didn't add -desktop to the command, gonna try that | 19:12 |
| MGrunde | DarkTan: From the looks of it, you have two network cards, one of which has a ralink chipset, and both are attempting to connect to the network "TheNetwork" | 19:12 |
| DexterF | romunov: purge rather. tho I guess that leaves you with an empty disk afterwards | 19:12 |
| corey | apt-get remove gnome-desktop | 19:12 |
| DarkTan_ | also can you tell me that this means? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50144/ | 19:12 |
| DarkTan_ | ok, thats getting rid of it | 19:13 |
| Dr_willis | actually that would just get rid of the meta-package. not all the pacakges it installed. i think | 19:14 |
| mith__ | jussi01: but now i have logged in as a secure login. started compiz to be able to move windows, and in konqueror those partitions are works fine | 19:14 |
| jussi01 | mith__: I suggest you go and change it back then... | 19:14 |
| romunov | DexterF: i have no problem with that - how do i purge? | 19:15 |
| DarkTan_ | well the bits and peices i can get rid of through apt-get remove or the Adept or Synaptic | 19:15 |
| Dr_willis | the meta-package you MIGHT of wanted to keep installed so you could see what all it depends on. :) and have a list of what it installed. | 19:16 |
| Dr_willis | but remoiveing any of the other bits would of removed the meta package also | 19:16 |
| DexterF | romunov: man apt | 19:16 |
| bky | what's the easiest way to set gutsy to use konqueror as the filemanager? | 19:16 |
| Jeroi | wau thanks alot! | 19:17 |
| DarkTan_ | i'll just leave it there and ckean out the menus | 19:17 |
| corey | anyone knows about lazybuntu? | 19:17 |
| rothchild | earlier I installed a bunch of stuff on my laptop using add remove programs and I want some of it on my desktop too, is there a way to get the .debs from the laptop (make it a repository in effect) rather than downloading them all again from canonnical? | 19:17 |
| Jeroi | Needed to add mountpoint for it | 19:17 |
| DarkTan_ | right now i'm trying to get my wireless working, i have a broadcom internal and a linksys USB adapter hooked up | 19:17 |
| corey | man... that tools helps ubuntu going to family a lot man... | 19:17 |
| corey | my dad and mom are even using Ubuntu... | 19:18 |
| DarkTan_ | bother seem to be in under iwconfig, but as soon as i disconect my ethernet cable i loose 'net | 19:18 |
| padey | wirelles in kubuntu sure gave me a hard time | 19:18 |
| DarkTan_ | three days on it now | 19:18 |
| padey | wireless* | 19:18 |
| MGrunde | Try sudo dhclient wlan0 | 19:18 |
| padey | do you have the windows driver cd for the card? | 19:19 |
| ubuntu_ | someone know why I have the folowing message: "/dev/sda5 should be formatted to be used by this program" | 19:19 |
| |Quest| | need help pretty badly... any nice guy. who can guide me to run me pci alpha tv tuner. ? | 19:19 |
| padey | just sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common | 19:19 |
| DarkTan_ | http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50146/ | 19:19 |
| DarkTan_ | it gave me this | 19:19 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: do you know why I have the folowing message: "/dev/sda5 should be formatted to be used by this program" | 19:20 |
| MGrunde | Okay, now unplug your ethernet. | 19:20 |
| DarkTan_ | i already went through all the ndiswrapper | 19:20 |
| MGrunde | Quest - What is the make and model of your tv tuner? | 19:20 |
| DarkTan_ | unpluges the only thing that seems to work is konversation | 19:20 |
| DexterF | ubuntu_: who says this? | 19:20 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: the installer | 19:21 |
| DexterF | well, don't know, is sda5 maybe said ipod? | 19:21 |
| zorglu_ | Dr_willis: i found another one. much simpler :) it is called 'iftop' | 19:21 |
| zorglu_ | !info iftop | 19:21 |
| ubotu | iftop: displays bandwidth usage information on an network interface. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.17-4 (gutsy), package size 31 kB, installed size 104 kB | 19:21 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: I have deconnected my ipod | 19:22 |
| kaminix | Shouldn't this work? mplayer input.ape -dumpaudio -dumpfile output.wav (mplayer can play .ape) | 19:22 |
| DarkTan_ | ok, i can access konversation but not gaim, or anything else online through konquer or firefox | 19:23 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: the message is: | 19:24 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: The file system on /dev/sda5 assigned to / has not been marked for formatting. File systems used by the system (/, /boot, /usr, /var) must be reformatted for use by this installer. Other file systems (/home, /media/*, /usr/local, etc.) may be used without reformatting. | 19:24 |
| MGrunde | DarkTan - That's odd. Lets try this: "sudo ifconfig eth0 down" that'll down your ethernet, then "sudo ifconfig rausb0 down" that'll down your ralink card, then "sudo ifconfig wlan0 down" that'll down your last wireless card. Then run "sudo ifconfig wlan0 up" "sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid TheNetwork" "sudo dhclient wlan0" | 19:24 |
| MGrunde | If that doesn | 19:24 |
| MGrunde | If that doesn't work, "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" to reconnect your ethernet | 19:24 |
| DarkTan_ | ok | 19:24 |
| DexterF | ubuntu_: well, yes, / is the root directory, where evrything starts. the partiton you told the installer to use oviously is sda5, but you need to format it | 19:25 |
| ubuntu_ | DexterF: with gparted, I have formatted it to ext3 | 19:26 |
| DexterF | ubuntu_: let the installer reformat it. iirc it's not smart enough to grok it itself | 19:27 |
| DarkTan_ | w00t! it works! | 19:27 |
| MGrunde | Awesome | 19:27 |
| MGrunde | Ethernet unplugged and everything? | 19:29 |
| DarkTan_ | yep | 19:29 |
| MGrunde | Great. Now you can unplug your ralink USB wireless adapter. | 19:30 |
| DarkTan_ | already did and put it back on the desktop | 19:30 |
| MGrunde | You'll probably want to set up your wireless connection in network manager, so it connects on startup. | 19:30 |
| DarkTan_ | just me and my laptop | 19:30 |
| MGrunde | Awesome. It's a great feeling, isn't it? | 19:30 |
| DarkTan_ | yep, now where would the network manager be on dapper? | 19:31 |
| MGrunde | Dapper? I'm not sure if it comes installed with Dapper. If it's not in the System Tray, try running knetworkmanager. | 19:34 |

| BluesKaj | now, does that makes sense ? | 19:43 |
| comedit | anybody familiar with the use of vmware server on kubuntu ? | 19:44 |
| Dr_willis | I use vmware-server all the time | 19:44 |
| BluesKaj | !vmware | 19:44 |
| ubotu | VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers | 19:44 |
| Dr_willis | Mainly to test out live cd image files | 19:44 |
| comedit | i installed it but am not able to adjust memorry size | 19:44 |
| comedit | greyed out | 19:44 |
| comedit | i assume i should be root but maybe another reason | 19:45 |
| comedit | I just changed to kubuntu, and have converted my old xp to a vm (vmware converter), but it needs more memory | 19:47 |
| comedit | I can get to the memory part but all is greyed out, anybody an idea | 19:47 |
| Sonja | what are the pros and cons of kubuntu versus ubuntu? | 19:47 |
| comedit | kubuntu is more user friendly I would say | 19:50 |
| DarkTan_2 | can synaptic be activated from the konsole? | 19:50 |
| Dr_willis | the command 'synaptic' will launch synaptic | 19:50 |
| Dr_willis | if thats what you mean | 19:50 |
| Dr_willis | if its isntalled that is. | 19:51 |
| DarkTan_2 | apt-get work with adept correct? | 19:51 |
| BluesKaj | Sonja, it's mostly personal taste , oldtime linux users usually prefer gnome desktop/ubuntu ( not all but a lot ), oldtime windows users usually prefer kde/kubuntu | 19:51 |
| Dr_willis | Sonja, i normally install Ubuntu, then insatll kubuntu-desktop so i have both. | 19:51 |
| Dr_willis | adept/synaptic/aptitude are all front ends to the paackging system. They all work the 'same' :) | 19:52 |
| DarkTan_2 | ok | 19:52 |
| DarkTan_2 | i was wondering becuase i apt-get couldn't find packages that synaptic had | 19:52 |
| Dr_willis | OLD OLDTime linux users use fluxbox. :) older still.. use icewm/olvwm | 19:52 |
| Dr_willis | DarkTan_2, they should be finding identical packages. | 19:53 |
| Dr_willis | You may be typing/spelling wrong. | 19:53 |

| SirChasm | guys, help, my wireless stopped working, and I don't know why | 20:08 |
| SirChasm | the driver is still enabled | 20:09 |
| SirChasm | but it's just not scanning for any networks | 20:09 |
| zorglu_ | SirChasm: tried another computer or another os ? | 20:09 |
| zorglu_ | SirChasm: do they find the network ? | 20:09 |
| SirChasm | well i know my sister is connected to our router right now | 20:10 |
| zorglu_ | SirChasm: if not, considere it may be a network issue. as opposed to an os issue | 20:10 |
| SirChasm | as am i actually, but wired connection | 20:10 |
| zorglu_ | SirChasm: a big 'but' :) | 20:10 |
| SirChasm | the bigger problem is that it's just not lisitng ANY site networks at all | 20:10 |
| SirChasm | i know all my neighbours have wireless, and i can usually see them | 20:11 |
| SirChasm | now, nada | 20:11 |
| DarkTan_ | what is x? | 20:11 |
| SirChasm | to be honest, it feels just like when the driver wasn't working | 20:11 |
| |Quest| | need help pretty badly... any nice guy. who can guide me to run me pci alpha tv tuner. ? | 20:11 |
| SirChasm | but i went to restricted-manager, and it's enabled and in use | 20:11 |
| Artimus | I'm having troubles with HAL. When I try to browse to a device in media:/ it says "Feature Only Available with HAL". ps aux | grep hald reveals hald is not running. Starting it manually does not report any errors, but it does not stay running. | 20:12 |
| SirChasm | i even tried disabling the driver and re-enabling it, but it didn't fix it | 20:14 |
| BluesKaj | |Quest|, have you found the linux drivers for the tuner and installed them | 20:15 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 20:15 |
| |Quest| | BluesKaj aaahhnnn dont ask that question please........ | 20:15 |
| BluesKaj | I must | 20:15 |
| |Quest| | BluesKaj iam having a headach after installed those. from linuxtv.org . iam a new bie. i gues i didnt some thing wrong. or didnt do any thing right. (i have kdetv and mythtv. they are not working.) so its a driver problem. i dont even know how to check. | 20:16 |
| DarkTan_ | well, i am off, thx for the help | 20:17 |
| BluesKaj | |Quest|, 'tvtime' might run on that tuner ...not sure , check on their site | 20:18 |
| |Quest| | BluesKaj sure. but how do i know i have all drivers i need.? | 20:20 |
| SirChasm | any alternative to KNetworkManager? | 20:23 |
| BluesKaj | |Quest|, what is the actual make & model tv tuner card ? | 20:24 |
| |Quest| | BluesKaj its philips saa71309 | 20:25 |
| |Quest| | BluesKaj its aplha tv featuring philips saa71309 | 20:25 |
| jhutchins | |Quest|: Unlike windows, linux reports what it's doing and what errors there are. Check the system logs to see if the drivers you installed are loading properly. If they load at boot time, they may be in dmesg - use dmesg | less to scroll through it. Also look in /var/log/messages and see what's happening there. | 20:27 |
| jhutchins | |Quest|: With GUI programs, you can often start them from a console and if there are errors, you will see them. | 20:27 |
| jhutchins | |Quest|: Rather than trying to find someone here who knows your specific card, it's better to go to the various Linux Video sites and look for yourself - it's what we would have to do. | 20:28 |

| Blinkiz | Have downloaded kubuntu with KDE4-rc2. I would like to use complete hard disk encryption when I install. At the moment, no alternative CD exist. Any suggestion how do handle this? I know about mdadm and I guess I can get somehing to work with mdadm | 20:39 |
| Blinkiz | Should I install ubuntu in "cli mode" and then download KDE4-rc2 from repository? | 20:40 |

| Lynoure | Blinkiz: You are sure you want to go completely to KDE4? | 20:42 |
| Blinkiz | Lynoure: Yes! :) | 20:42 |
| Lynoure | Blinkiz: it's not even released yet... | 20:42 |
| Lynoure | Blinkiz: my, never seen anyone who liked the RCs that much :) | 20:42 |
| ardchoille | Blinkiz: I don't think kde4 is ready for daily/production use yet. | 20:42 |
| hitsuji | i would wait for the stable release if i were you | 20:43 |

| unix_infidel | lol | 20:43 |
| ardchoille | unix_infidel: Lots of folks :) | 20:43 |
| Lynoure | Blinkiz: if you really want bleeding edge, install hardy, and go to #ubuntu+1 for support | 20:43 |
| unix_infidel | dolphin does look pretty interesting as far as file management goes. | 20:44 |
| Lynoure | unix_infidel: I do, actually... | 20:44 |
| Blinkiz | Oooo nopp, don´t like alpha.. | 20:44 |
| Blinkiz | ;) | 20:44 |
| jhutchins | Blinkiz: I would recommend that you install kubuntu, then do the parallel install of KDE4. It's really not ready for prime time yet, a number of essential packages have not been ported. | 20:44 |
| DarkTan_ | is there a way to upgrade 6.06 to gutsy with out d/ling and burning a new DVD? | 20:44 |
| Blinkiz | jhutchins: That was the answer I was looking for. I´ll do that :() | 20:44 |
| ardchoille | !upgrade | DarkTan_ | 20:45 |
| ubotu | DarkTan_: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes | 20:45 |
| jhutchins | Blinkiz: Seriously though, if you're going to run it, be good and report bugs and fixes. | 20:45 |
| ardchoille | DarkTan_: You have to upgrade to Edgy, then from Edgy to Feisty, Then from Feisty to Gutsy | 20:45 |
| Blinkiz | jhutchins: Sure, if I find any. | 20:46 |
| ardchoille | DarkTan_: Probably faster to dl the Gutsy desktop cd and install it | 20:46 |
| Lynoure | Blinkiz: if you are a non-KDE developer who ends up using KDE4 fulltime, do blog about it. So far all reviews seem to be from devs or after brief use only | 20:46 |
| jhutchins | DarkTan_: Short answer is yes, do net upgrades. You _could- go directly to 7.1, but it's not recommended. | 20:46 |
| Blinkiz | Lynoure: okay, chill.. Am not that kind of die hard user. ;) | 20:46 |
| Lynoure | Blinkiz: chill? | 20:47 |
| Blinkiz | Lynoure: Yeah, did I spell it wrong? I mean, "relax". | 20:47 |

| Dr_willis | Linux has some very well defined ideas on what things get installed where. | 21:10 |
| mani213 | but if im using the bash /path/to/filename.run command | 21:10 |
| ardchoille | xb0t: apt-cache search <app name> | 21:10 |
| mani213 | what would i replace to? | 21:10 |
| jhutchins | mani213: Using a ".run file" to "install drivers" is probably a bad idea. | 21:10 |
| diaz1500 | hello | 21:10 |
| Dr_willis | mani213, that runs that command.. thats it.. nothing more or less.. | 21:10 |
| mani213 | okay so what would u recommend me installing a ati driver? | 21:10 |
| ardchoille | mani213: video drivers? | 21:10 |
| mani213 | ye ati | 21:10 |
| ardchoille | !ati | mani213 | 21:11 |
| Dr_willis | the rest is up to the installer thing in the .run file. | 21:11 |
| ubotu | mani213: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 21:11 |

| ardchoille | mani213: The bot already posted it to you | 21:11 |
| xb0t | ardchoille and to install was | 21:11 |
| xb0t | sudo apt -get install programname? | 21:12 |
| mani213 | this is instructions for ubuntu | 21:12 |
| mani213 | i need kubuntu | 21:12 |

| diaz1500 | so.. i have a problem.... i cant use kopete... | 21:12 |
| xb0t | ok thx | 21:12 |

| xb0t | when i want to install | 21:12 |
| xb0t | sudo apt -get install wine | 21:12 |
| xb0t | this error came | 21:12 |
| xb0t | E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. | 21:12 |
| jhutchins | diaz1500: Use pidgin then | 21:13 |
| ardchoille | mani213: The command line instruction work for kubuntu too | 21:13 |
| jhutchins | xb0t: Or follow those very clear and direct instructions. | 21:13 |
| jhutchins | xb0t: Why don't you just do what it says? | 21:14 |
| diaz1500 | but pidgin is not installed in my pc | 21:14 |
| xb0t | i dont understand this sorry | 21:14 |
| mani213 | so glxinfo |grep is a command? | 21:14 |
| ardchoille | yes | 21:14 |
| xb0t | these are my first 30 minutes with linux | 21:15 |

| mani213 | not as good as apple is it? | 22:18 |
| Dr_willis_ | I found them to either have HUGE bugs, or be so useless. other then as eye andy.. i perfer the panel | 22:19 |
| Dr_willis_ | I dont like apples dock either. | 22:19 |
| mani213 | ye i guess your right | 22:19 |
| mani213 | i just hate windows vista | 22:19 |
| Dr_willis_ | Take a simple idea and add so much extras.. it cant do the original job right. :) | 22:19 |
| jatos | mani213: that makes two of us | 22:20 |
| Dr_willis_ | You may want to check out katapult also. hit alt-space | 22:20 |

| mani213 | there soo many bugs are vista you cant even fix em | 22:21 |

| mani213 | atleast for kubuntu you can play around with it | 22:21 |

| mani213 | theres enough bugs with compiz to | 22:23 |
| mani213 | but atleast theres fixes for it | 22:23 |
| Dr_willis_ | Best fix for compiz = turn it off. :) | 22:23 |
| mani213 | naw but compiz brings the best out of linux | 22:23 |
| mani213 | well kind of for me | 22:23 |
| mani213 | i had to get it cause of the cube | 22:23 |
| mani213 | the compiz fusion | 22:24 |
| Dr_willis_ | I have the opposite approace.. compiz cutters up the 'best of linux' | 22:24 |
| biovore | same | 22:24 |
| Dr_willis_ | and i find the cube expecially useless. | 22:24 |
| Dr_willis_ | now the ZOOM feature - is handy. | 22:24 |
| biovore | compviz makes linux run like crap | 22:24 |

| liquidengineer | Hello? | 23:05 |
| liquidengineer | How is everyone today? | 23:05 |
| ardchoille | hi liquidengineer | 23:05 |
| liquidengineer | I'm having a problem getting my ubuntu to broadcast its hostname | 23:06 |
| === MistaGee is now known as mistagee | ||
| liquidengineer | I just edited dhclient.conf and set the following two lines 1) send host-name "hostname"; and 2) send dhcp-client-identifier MAC_ADDR; . Now my router sees it's client ID as the mac address without colons, and not the hostname | 23:06 |
| liquidengineer | What am I doing wrong? | 23:06 |
| ardchoille | liquidengineer: Ubuntu? You should be in #ubuntu. | 23:06 |
| liquidengineer | ardchoille: It's a bit busy in there...I can't seem to get anyone's attention, and I figured (perhaps incorrectly) kubuntu used the same network underpinnings, especially since I"m working in the terminal | 23:07 |
| liquidengineer | I'm just editing dhclient.conf and using dhclient to refresh | 23:07 |
| ardchoille | liquidengineer: For the proper help, you should be in the proper channel, and for your that's #ubuntu | 23:07 |
| testablu | some one link me the italian room? ty... | 23:08 |
| liquidengineer | ardchoille: Well, yes. Thing is, I've been trying to get someone's attention for the past 40 minutes and failing, so I thought i'd try here. You're right, though. Sorry. :) | 23:08 |
| andreas | hey i have a problem | 23:08 |
| andreas | i try to send a file from my pc to my account on a server | 23:09 |
| andreas | i use dolphin to browse my files | 23:09 |
| andreas | and when i click "move here" | 23:09 |
| andreas | for my file to go to the other server | 23:09 |
| jnp3134 | BluesKaj: thanks for the help - I have to go for now. Hopefully you gave me enough to find a solution | 23:09 |
| ardchoille | liquidengineer: No problem, I just didn't want any subtle difference between the two releases to cause you problems with bad advice | 23:09 |
| andreas | it says that i don't have write permissions | 23:10 |
| testablu | chi mi linka la stanza in italiano? | 23:10 |
| ardchoille | !it | testablu | 23:10 |
| ubotu | testablu: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! | 23:10 |
| andreas | i think i have to do this as root but how can i do that? | 23:10 |
| ardchoille | !sudo | 23:10 |
| ubotu | sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information. | 23:10 |
| ardchoille | andreas: You mean run dolphin as root? | 23:11 |
| andreas | yeah | 23:11 |
| andreas | how can i do that? | 23:11 |
| ardchoille | !kdesudo | andreas | 23:11 |
| ubotu | andreas: In KDE, use « kdesudo <program> » (Gutsy) or « kdesu <program> » (Feisty and earlier) to run graphical applications with root privileges when you have to. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 23:11 |
| andreas | ok thx i 'll try it and come back | 23:11 |
| noaXess | !nvidia | 23:12 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 23:12 |
| andreas | yeah but now that i run it as root | 23:12 |
| andreas | i can't see my files | 23:13 |
| andreas | and the server is not on my networks as before | 23:13 |
| andreas | i don't see my files when i go to home | 23:13 |
| ardchoille | andreas: That's because root's $HOME is not the same as user's $HOME | 23:14 |
| ardchoille | andreas: Your normal user and root are two different users with two different sets of files. | 23:14 |
| andreas | then what do i do now? | 23:14 |
| andreas | i can find the files of andreas | 23:15 |
| andreas | but i can't find the network i want to login | 23:15 |
| ardchoille | andreas: In dolphin, go to the folder which holds the files you want to work with | 23:15 |
| andreas | i did it | 23:15 |
| andreas | but in remote places | 23:15 |
| ardchoille | /home/andreas ? | 23:15 |
| andreas | yeah | 23:15 |
| uchimata | how can i change my default file manager from Dolphin to konqueror | 23:15 |
| ardchoille | !dolphin | uchimata | 23:15 |
| ubotu | uchimata: Dolphin, or more properly D3lphin, is the new default file manager for Kubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon. If you would like to make Konqueror your default file manager again, go to Konqueror - Settings menu - Configure Konqueror - File Associations and change the association for inode/directory and inode/system_directory to Konqueror at the top rather than Dolphin. | 23:15 |
| uchimata | thanks adrchoille | 23:16 |
| andreas | ardchoille: do you see where my problem is? | 23:16 |
| andreas | root's remote places are not the same as andreas' remote places | 23:17 |
| andreas | and i want andreas' remote places | 23:17 |
| ardchoille | andreas: Right, so you would have to set up the remote places for root, right? | 23:17 |
| andreas | yeah | 23:17 |
| andreas | anyway i'll try late | 23:18 |
| andreas | r | 23:18 |
| andreas | thx anyways | 23:18 |

| Joelito | ardchoille: I install it via sypnatic and doesn't appear in the menu of kde :( | 23:27 |
| ardchoille | Joelito: It's not really a binary, it's themes, styles and such | 23:27 |
| comedit | I can't figure it out | 23:27 |
| ardchoille | Joelito: It won't appear in the menu, it installs themes, styles, wallpapers, etc. Check your settings for things like that | 23:28 |
| ardchoille | comedit: What is the error you are getting? | 23:28 |
| Joelito | oh, yeah, see there's a link | 23:28 |
| Joelito | and send me to a webpage | 23:29 |
| Joelito | I was hoping that will be the same as art work from gnome :) | 23:29 |

| dorkface | Hi all. I'm currently trying to get ssh to work on my recently assembled personal server. So far I have tried using a point-to-point connection using a crossover, disabling ip tables, and generating a key as means of solving the issue, but all have resulted in a refused connection. Any suggestions? | 23:50 |
| Joelito | ok, I downloaded a theme for kde, but doesn't appear in the list | 23:50 |
| Joelito | any tip? | 23:50 |
| ardchoille | Joelito: Where did you put the theme and what type of theme is it? | 23:50 |
| Joelito | or mayne I | 23:50 |
| ardchoille | Joelito: What's the url of the theme? | 23:51 |
| Joelito | ok, is my documents | 23:51 |
| Joelito | this is the url_ http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php/Grey+Matrix?content=1529 | 23:51 |
| ardchoille | Joelito: unpack the theme and read greymatrix.txt? That file has install instructions. | 23:54 |
| Eds | Can anyone tell me why after I installed Kubuntu Gutsy it thought I had fiesty installed and wanted to upgrade? | 23:54 |
| Joelito | ardchoille: I'll try | 23:55 |
| ardchoille | Joelito: in a terminal, cd to the folder where the theme is and do: tar xf 1529-greymatrix.tgz | 23:55 |
| Joelito | ardchoille any special command to run install.sh? | 23:57 |
| ardchoille | Joelito: There is no install.sh, read the .txt file | 23:57 |
