| === |GuS| is now known as [GuS] | ||
| arken_ | Tremulous and Frets on Fire | 01:35 |
| sd132 | Jucato: ok thanks | 01:35 |
| bascule | you didn't like school and you know your nobodys fool | 01:36 |
| arken_ | I didn't know that running the 64 Bit version would not allow me to run 32 bit apps | 01:37 |
| biovore | ia32-libs should take care of that | 01:37 |
| biovore | you install this from apt? | 01:37 |
| biovore | (adept) | 01:38 |
| arken_ | I didn't install anything. I just had this PC up and running 2 hours ago. | 01:38 |
| arken_ | I'll look for it though. | 01:38 |
| biovore | you download it from there site? | 01:38 |
| biovore | apt-get install fretsonfire | 01:38 |
| biovore | is looks like its in the kubuntu repos | 01:38 |
| arken_ | Oh. I used the Adept GUI to get it. | 01:38 |
| biovore | ok | 01:38 |
| arken_ | It is. I just downloaded it. But when I run it doesn't work >_> | 01:39 |
| biovore | you have openGL working? | 01:39 |
| arken_ | Whats openGL? | 01:39 |
| biovore | well might explain why its not working.. | 01:39 |
| biovore | 3d graphics rendering | 01:39 |
| awag22 | do you have a voodoo 2 card? | 01:39 |
| bascule | glxinfo | grep render | 01:39 |
| arken_ | I'm decently new to the whole linux scene, so I don't know a lot of the lingo yet | 01:39 |
| biovore | what graphics card? | 01:40 |
| arken_ | GeForce 8500 GT | 01:40 |
| biovore | !nvidia | 01:40 |
| ubotu | To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto | 01:40 |
| biovore | install the nvdia graphics driver... | 01:40 |
| Jucato | if it's a fresh install, it's likely that the driver hasn't been installed yet... | 01:40 |
| biovore | yup | 01:40 |
| Jucato | hm.. we do have an automated GUI for that though :) | 01:40 |
| * Jucato wonders why it didn't kick in... | 01:40 | |
| biovore | its busted some of the time.. | 01:41 |
| arken_ | Hmm. It says that adept is already in use... but it isnt... | 01:41 |
| Jucato | K Menu -> SYstem Settings -> Advanced tab -> Restricted Manager | 01:41 |

| bascule | yup | 01:42 |
| arken_ | ok. i ran that command | 01:43 |
| arken_ | Thanks a million! | 01:43 |

| arken_ | installing now. | 01:43 |
| Eds` | Anyone know what the program is that puts a mac bar in linux? :P | 01:44 |
| arken_ | You guys rock hehe. I love linux. I installed 6.10 on an old PC and fell in love with it ever since. | 01:44 |
| arken_ | Is there a way to make my download speeds slower? | 01:45 |
| arken_ | My dad is complaining about how he's getting lag on his windows machine >_> | 01:46 |
| bascule | Eds`: you need superkaramba, there are a few widgets for the mac bar effect | 01:46 |

| grimacexl | hey im trying to intall gift as a dependancy of apollon and it has a dependancy of giftd which depends on libvorbis0, now i have libvorbis0a, wouldnt that work? | 01:47 |
| NickPresta | Eds`, there are a couple ways to have the launcher bar in Kubuntu. I like AWN, since I run Compiz. | 01:48 |
| bascule | unix_lappy: do you know how to throttle bandwidth in linux, -limit ? | 01:48 |
| unix_lappy | bascule: shape, throttle, and limit are all different things. | 01:49 |
| grimacexl | i cant apt-get install giftd because it has a dependancy on libvorbis0 which isnt found, but i have libvorbis0a which i think is the same thing, is there anyway to force install giftd even though it asks for libvorbis0 | 01:49 |
| bascule | ok, limit is like rate and numer of connections | 01:49 |
| unix_lappy | bascule: take a look at wondershaper. | 01:50 |

| arken0493 | Alright. Those are all the warnings. Not a single error, however. | 02:26 |
| arken0493 | Anyone know how to help? | 02:26 |
| the-erm | arken0493: have you tried running sudo nvidia-settings ??? | 02:26 |
| arken0493 | no I have not. | 02:27 |
| the-erm | Well backup or /etc/X11/xorg.conf and try sudo nvidia-settings it might be smart enough to figure it out for you. | 02:28 |
| the-erm | There's another program called nvidia-xconfig that might help as well. | 02:28 |
| arken0493 | How do I get out of this file? | 02:28 |
| arken0493 | I'm in the log. How do I quit? | 02:28 |
| arken0493 | oh, nevermind | 02:29 |
| the-erm | Well I just walked in, if you're using less it's escape, maybe Q for quit. | 02:29 |
| arken0493 | nvida settings: GTK WARNING **: cannot open display | 02:29 |
| the-erm | oh I thought you had it running. | 02:29 |
| patrik | Howdy people. | 02:30 |
| the-erm | My bad ... nvidia-xconfig should write the xorg.conf file If I recall correctly. | 02:30 |
| arken0493 | And now I typed in "nvida-xconfig" and it said it backed up the file | 02:30 |
| arken0493 | yes | 02:30 |
| arken0493 | and made a new one | 02:30 |
| arken0493 | Should I restart and try again? | 02:30 |
| the-erm | ok well then restart your kdm sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart | 02:30 |
| patrik | Could someone tell me if gnome-vfs-daemon needs to run under Kubuntu? | 02:30 |
| arken0493 | No such file or directory | 02:31 |
| arken0493 | @Erm | 02:31 |
| the-erm | I wonder what you're running for your front end. | 02:31 |
| arken0493 | I Don't know :\ | 02:31 |
| arken0493 | Im at root@office2:~# | 02:31 |
| the-erm | does startx work? | 02:31 |
| arken0493 | In safe mode. | 02:32 |
| arken0493 | yes | 02:32 |
| arken0493 | I just typed that | 02:32 |
| arken0493 | and it worked >_> | 02:32 |
| the-erm | So in theory startkde should work as well ... | 02:33 |
| arken0493 | so I type "startkde" in the terminal | 02:33 |
| arken0493 | ? | 02:33 |
| the-erm | patrik: I'm not sure. I'd guess if you're running a gnome app then yes. But I'm not even 100% sure what gnome-vfs-daemon does. | 02:33 |
| the-erm | arken0493: I'm just guessing here :) | 02:34 |
| nosrednaekim | "sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart" is the correct thing to do. | 02:34 |
| arken0493 | @ the-erm. I typed it, and it said cannot contact kdeinit | 02:34 |
| nosrednaekim | to restart x | 02:34 |
| arken0493 | I typed that earlier. and it said it could not find the file. | 02:34 |
| the-erm | nosrednaekim: I told him to try sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart :) | 02:34 |
| nosrednaekim | arken0493: try replacing kdm with gdm | 02:35 |
| arken0493 | oh. | 02:35 |
| nosrednaekim | in that command | 02:35 |
| arken0493 | I must have typed it wrong. | 02:35 |
| arken0493 | Lol. | 02:35 |
| the-erm | maybe you need to apt-get install kdebase | 02:35 |
| arken0493 | It worked now,. | 02:35 |
| the-erm | ok | 02:35 |
| patrik | perhaps it's something left from another program install... | 02:35 |
| nosrednaekim | arken0493: heh :) | 02:35 |
| arken0493 | Ok. I'll try to run my game again. | 02:35 |
| the-erm | nosrednaekim: I don't suppose you know anything about setting up 3 monitors on 2 video cards do you? | 02:36 |
| patrik | Found it in Adept. It's used by the Gimp | 02:37 |
| nosrednaekim | the-erm: nah...I have one monitor, one video card... and an easy life..lol | 02:37 |
| the-erm | guess it's time to bother other rooms ... | 02:37 |
| arken0493 | Should I try to restart now? | 02:37 |
| nosrednaekim | the-erm: ati or nvidia? | 02:37 |
| nosrednaekim | arken0493: why? | 02:37 |
| the-erm | That's the fun part ati & nvidia. | 02:38 |
| arken0493 | To get out of recovery mode. | 02:38 |
| nosrednaekim | the-erm: hope you don'twant 3d accel too... | 02:38 |
| nosrednaekim | arken0493: oh... yes, reboot | 02:38 |
| the-erm | Maybe I should explain the setup. I have an nvidia card with an svideo out, and a monitor out. Then I have an on board ati card with just a monitor out. | 02:38 |
| nosrednaekim | the-erm: in any event... thats going to be a HUGE pain to get working. | 02:39 |
| the-erm | I have the nvidia card working fine with svideo out, and the monitor. I just thought it would be cool to add a third monitor. | 02:39 |
| the-erm | I've been playing with it for several hours now .... | 02:39 |
| nosrednaekim | the-erm: lots of on board things can't be used at the same time as a dedicated graphics card. | 02:39 |
| nosrednaekim | not sure if thats the case here. | 02:40 |
| arken0493 | Alright. I reset my computer, and started in normal mode. But the thing is it does NOT want to boot in normal mode. It won't display anything. | 02:40 |
| arken0493 | So what can I do? | 02:40 |
| nosrednaekim | arken0493: what graphics card and what drivers | 02:40 |
| bom | hey all :-) | 02:40 |
| nosrednaekim | hey bom | 02:41 |
| bom | its the first time I discover the kubuntu irc. I love kubuntu | 02:41 |
| arken0493 | GeForce 8500 | 02:41 |
| nosrednaekim | bom: cool... how long you been using it? | 02:42 |
| nosrednaekim | arken0493: ok, and you have the nvidia-glx-new drivers installed? | 02:42 |
| bom | about 6 months... but iv always used kde since very first release | 02:42 |
| arken0493 | I do not believe I do. | 02:44 |
| arken0493 | How do I install them? | 02:44 |
| nosrednaekim | wow.... an old timer :) | 02:44 |
| nosrednaekim | arken0493: did you install any drivers at all? | 02:44 |
| nosrednaekim | (for the graphics card | 02:45 |
| arken0493 | The restricted ones. | 02:45 |
| arken0493 | By clicking the button >_> | 02:45 |
| bom | :) | 02:45 |
| nosrednaekim | yeah... ok, thats the nvidia-glx-new | 02:45 |
| bom | how long have you used it norednaekim? | 02:45 |
| yamal | the-erm: your ServerLayout on pastebin defines 'screen 0' twice and for different monitors, don't know if that's intentional. | 02:45 |
| nosrednaekim | arken0493: so what you want to do is run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" from the command line (which you can get to by pressing alt+f2) | 02:46 |
| nosrednaekim | bom: about 5 years | 02:46 |
| arken0493 | that's my issue though. I can't use the driver. After I installed them, the screen doesn't work unless I boot KDE via the prompt | 02:46 |
| arken0493 | ok | 02:46 |
| bom | righton | 02:46 |
| the-erm | yamal: I'm honestly lost on how to do it. I've tried setting the svideo to screen 1, but I think it broke it. | 02:46 |
| arken0493 | ok | 02:46 |
| arken0493 | attempt to autodetect video hardware? | 02:46 |
| nosrednaekim | arken0493: anything you are not sure about.. his yes to (or the default) | 02:47 |
| arken0493 | Ok. | 02:47 |
| nosrednaekim | execpt for what driver to use, make sure you select nvidia for that | 02:48 |
| the-erm | yamal: I'll try it with screen 1 | 02:48 |
| the-erm | Ok well see ya ctrl+alt+bkspace | 02:50 |
| arken0493 | Ok. I ran through the setup. | 02:50 |
| arken0493 | Now what do I do? | 02:50 |
| nosrednaekim | arken0493: are you in recovery mode? | 02:51 |
| nosrednaekim | or just on the command line | 02:52 |
| arken0493 | recovery | 02:52 |
| nosrednaekim | ok... reboot then | 02:52 |
| nosrednaekim | if, when you reboot, you get a blank screen, try "ctrl+alt+f2" | 02:52 |
| * Mr_Sonoma brb gonna fix a sammich | 02:54 | |
| grimacexl | ok anyone here using apollon | 02:55 |
| ricardo_ | wht's that? | 02:56 |
| downix | Why is Kubuntu unable to run the up to date version of things like Gimp or Flightgear? | 02:56 |
| grimacexl | its a gift based p2p program | 02:56 |
| downix | or OpenAL | 02:57 |
| arken0493 | I reset my computer, but the restricted drivers are no longer in use | 02:57 |
| nosrednaekim | downix: because it does not have a rolling release. | 02:57 |
| nosrednaekim | arken0493: how do you know? | 02:57 |
| grimacexl | arken i just got through setting up the restricted drivers, they're no fun | 02:57 |
| downix | nosrednaekim: but being over a year behind with the latest release.... | 02:57 |

| arken0493 | Because I looked -_- | 02:58 |

| ubotu | Package fgfs does not exist in gutsy | 02:58 |
| nosrednaekim | !info flightgear | 02:58 |
| grimacexl | well they woulda been fine, but they display by default on my first dvi out which im not using | 02:58 |

| nosrednaekim | shees... that is old. | 02:58 |
| downix | told ya | 02:58 |
| grimacexl | im a linux newb but have you configured X arken? | 02:58 |
| downix | and it won't compile without OpenAL, which Kubuntu doesn't have | 02:59 |
| arken0493 | yes... | 02:59 |
| bmk789 | when trying to add an event in kontact, i get a "There is no resource available!" message, running kbuildsyoca didnt fix it and it gave a couple errors | 02:59 |
| arken0493 | I'll work on it tommorow.. | 02:59 |
| grimacexl | so what does it default back to | 02:59 |
| nosrednaekim | hmm well, that really not Kubuntu's problem... its mostly Ubuntu. | 02:59 |
| nosrednaekim | downix: we just do the kde stuff | 02:59 |
| * downix nods | 02:59 | |
| patrik | downix: which version of the Gimp do you want to use? | 02:59 |
| biovore | I think kde4 going to suck at first.. I think they got a good thing going.. but just like kde 3.. will start of a little lean and grow into a extremely good desktop enviroment. | 03:00 |
| patrik | I'm running 2.4.2 | 03:00 |
| downix | patrik: At least a final version. 2.0.0RC seems a bit odd | 03:00 |
| nosrednaekim | downix: oh... yeah... are you on dapper? | 03:00 |
| grimacexl | to anyone who is using apollon or any gift based p2p, I cant get mines to connect to any servers, gift-d shows its doing stuff, but i still cant connect | 03:00 |
| grimacexl | anyone know why? | 03:00 |

| grimacexl | whats kontact? | 03:01 |

| bmk789 | nosrednaekim: im having a "There is no resource available!" message when trying to add a new event to the calendar, ever seen this problem? | 03:02 |
| nosrednaekim | bmk789: sorry, I just use the email and address book. | 03:02 |
| nosrednaekim | and occasionally notes | 03:02 |
| Xbehave | what would happen if the first line of my kdm startup remounted my home dir, would i need to call myself | 03:02 |
| bmk789 | its the same with to-do and contacts | 03:02 |
| Xbehave | *it need to call itself | 03:02 |
| patrik | do you have all repositories checked in adept? | 03:03 |
| === patrik is now known as ovopax | ||
| nosrednaekim | Xbehave: what? you can't remount it(as a normal user | 03:04 |
| claydoh | bmk789: in kontact's calendar, on the bottom left section, labelled 'calendar, do you have any resources in that block? | 03:04 |
| claydoh | by default it should be 'Default Korganizer resource' | 03:05 |
| Alonea | hey, do flash drives still show up under /media? and why doesn't Storage Media open up /media anymore? | 03:05 |
| claydoh | bmk789: if i uncheck that, i get your error, else it works as expected | 03:05 |
| bmk789 | crap | 03:05 |
| bmk789 | why didnt i look at that | 03:05 |
| bmk789 | my bad | 03:05 |
| claydoh | not the most intuitive, i just kinda figured it out there | 03:06 |
| nosrednaekim | Alonea: yes to the first, for the second... what does it open up? | 03:07 |
| Alonea | nosrednaekim: blank. though now that I try again its showing stuff when it didn't earlier. gah..so confusing. and then the /media folder only showed my cdrom. | 03:08 |
| Alonea | gusty has been a little less stable than the previous ones. | 03:09 |
| nosrednaekim | sure you weren't looking at media:/? | 03:09 |
| Alonea | nosrednaekim: yup. went to root, then media folder. | 03:09 |
| Alonea | nosrednaekim: which gives me different results that when I click on storage media. | 03:10 |
| nosrednaekim | right, because storage media gives you everything, whether it is mounted or unmounted. | 03:10 |
| Alonea | nosrednaekim: ah, ok. what about my mouse going crazy? (or should I say touchpad..) | 03:11 |
| nosrednaekim | storage media is the kio-slave,"media:/" | 03:11 |
| nosrednaekim | Alonea: what about it.... | 03:11 |
| nosrednaekim | whats it do. scurry around in its cage? | 03:11 |
| Alonea | nosrednaekim: I haven't have that problem for over a year. it jumps around all over the place and clicks on stuff I didn't click on. | 03:12 |
| nosrednaekim | Alonea: even though you aren't touching it? | 03:12 |
| Alonea | nosrednaekim: well, I move the pointer and it jumps and where it lands it usually clicks on. keyboard keys are also getting "stuck" a lot too. like if I press backspace once, it doesn't stop. | 03:14 |
| Ertain | !named | 03:14 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about named - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 03:14 |
| nosrednaekim | wow.... weird. yeah... alot of people complain about gutsy, just like they complained about edgy... seems the .10 releases are slightly less stable for whatever reason. | 03:15 |
| nosrednaekim | Alonea: file a bug for sure.. | 03:15 |
| Alonea | nosrednaekim: I don't mind too much, but problems that were fixed 2 versions ago are coming back. | 03:15 |
| downix | this is fun | 03:15 |
| nite613_ | What's the name of that package that will watch a "make install" and make it reversible? | 03:15 |
| kgfix | nosrednaekim: Alonea: even i have that mouse-going-crazy prob on one of my machines | 03:15 |
| downix | apparently I'm missing MESA | 03:15 |
| Alonea | we are supposed to go forwards right? not backwards...at least I can shut down my computer now | 03:16 |
| Alonea | kgfix: what about the keyboard also going crazy? | 03:17 |
| kgfix | Alonea: nah.. only the mouse.. am using kubuntu gutsy 64 bit version on that machine.. | 03:17 |
| * downix surrenders, I am not to play flightgear it seems | 03:17 | |
| ovopax | did you get gimp upgraded? | 03:18 |
| downix | No, it tells me that 2.0.0RC is the latest package available | 03:18 |
| Alonea | kgfix: also adept barely works most of the time. and now my bar at the bottom just dissapeared...not using autohide either. learned that a long time ago. | 03:18 |
| downix | it might be my AMD64 vs i386 issues | 03:19 |
| kgfix | Alonea: surprisingly Kubuntu gutsy 32 bit on another machine never gave me any trouble like that.. | 03:19 |
| ovopax | well, THAT could be it | 03:19 |
| se7en_ | somebody any experience with gentoo (sabayon) linux | 03:19 |
| kgfix | Alonea: i think Ubuntu behaves much more as expected in that regard.. and i like Synaptic more than Adept :) | 03:20 |
| Alonea | kgfix: odd. this is 32 bit. then again I have an evil computer. adept keeps saying it failed to install stuff when it hasn't and at one point it tried to get me to upgrade when this is gusty! | 03:20 |
| Alonea | kgfix: is their a gui version I can get? | 03:21 |
| kgfix | Alonea: pretty strange.. i actually started using the apt-get from terminal when i shifted to kubuntu!! | 03:21 |
| jeff__ | i love apt-get | 03:21 |
| jeff__ | i want to marry it | 03:21 |
| kgfix | Alonea: GUI version of...? | 03:21 |
| Alonea | kgfix: well, I don't mind the terminal, but I don't know the name of stuff most of the time. | 03:21 |
| jeff__ | apt-get for president | 03:21 |
| Alonea | kgfix: synaptic | 03:22 |
| kgfix | hmm.. thats what i use adept for.. finding names.. :o) | 03:22 |
| Alonea | kgfix: well, adept kinda doesn't load half the time. | 03:22 |
| kgfix | Alonea: yeah.. u get the GUI version.. but since thats a GNOME application.. i don't know if Kubuntu will like it.. :P | 03:23 |
| kgfix | Alonea: then try installing synaptic using apt-get | 03:23 |
| Alonea | kgfix: how do I load the terminal with a key command? | 03:23 |
| kgfix | Alonea: but you'll probably end up installing lot of other GNOME stuff with it i guess.. | 03:23 |
| Alonea | my kicker bar is gone atm | 03:23 |
| kgfix | u mean u want to start the terminal using a keyboard shortcut? | 03:24 |
| Alonea | kgfix: yes! | 03:24 |
| Alonea | thought ctrl+esc loaded that process manager. | 03:24 |
| kgfix | u just need to assign any KB shortcut u choose.. | 03:25 |
| kgfix | Alonea: i really forgot how i did it.. :P lemme check.. | 03:25 |
| Alonea | kgfix: okies. | 03:26 |
| Alonea | er, I got one open. I had dolphin up and that has a terminal link. now to redo kicker I though the command was kill kicker? | 03:27 |
| subopt | Does Kubuntu ever install *anything* in /usr/local/ ? | 03:28 |
| kgfix | Alonea: okie.. i got it... | 03:30 |
| Alonea | ok, I got kicker back | 03:30 |
| kgfix | Alonea: open system settings | 03:30 |
| Alonea | alright | 03:30 |
| kgfix | under "computer administration" go to "keyboard & mouse" | 03:31 |
| Alonea | ok, I see it now. | 03:31 |
| kgfix | Alonea: yep..KB shortcuts >> Command Shortcuts TAB | 03:31 |
| Alonea | kgfix: thanks! | 03:33 |
| kgfix | Alonea: you're welcome :) | 03:35 |

| jhutchins | jeff__: Gotta stop eating those chocolate frogs. | 04:01 |
| jhutchins | jeff__: What you want to do is resize all of the images in a directory? | 04:02 |
| sini | Am I correct in my understanding that there is no difference between ubuntu and kubuntu after install, apart from initial packages that come with the install discs? | 04:02 |
| jhutchins | sini: The user interfaces, "desktop environments" are different, the base system is the same. | 04:02 |
| * jhutchins slaps jeff__ awake with a large, damp trout. | 04:03 | |
| sini | alright, next question... ubuntu's testing/unstable branch... how stable is it? Does it frequently break? I understand that it's probably not reccomended to use... but I come from a gentoo/debian-sid background :D | 04:04 |
| jhutchins | No use. Must've fallen asleep in the poppy field. | 04:04 |
| jhutchins | sini: If you want to find bugs, use testing. If you want to do work, use released. | 04:04 |
| jhutchins | sini: *buntu is far more current than debian testing. | 04:05 |
| jhutchins | sini: iirc the release cycle is six months, and there are backports. | 04:05 |
| sini | jhutchins: I would hope so. :( I've been fighting tooth and nail with debian unstable today and decided to go ahead and try out ubuntu since everyone raves about it. | 04:05 |
| jhutchins | Yeah, unstable is for devs. | 04:06 |
| jhutchins | Stable is for constipated sysadmins who need to report no issues to pointy-haired bosses. | 04:06 |
| jhutchins | I have just landed in an environment where we are using Centos 4.4. | 04:07 |
| jhutchins | Constipation awaits. | 04:07 |
| sini | I was having some crazy linking issue with compiling fglrx that's impossible to diagnose. :( | 04:07 |
| jhutchins | sini: Understand that that 3d shit only works for about 10% of users. | 04:07 |
| sini | I've had it working in gentoo, but I've realized that I want an OS that does something other than compile 90% of the time. | 04:08 |
| jhutchins | sini: It's really cool, and within the next week I have to acquire hardware it works on and sell the sox off the Wizard of Ozz, but hey, that's life. | 04:08 |
| sini | so when is kde4 coming to ubuntu? Is the RC backported or will I have to wait till the jan 11th release date? (I trust it hasn't been pushed back again) | 04:10 |
| Jucato | sini: it hasn't been pushed back, and there's no target date yet for Kubuntu packages. they'll come when they're built... if there will be no problems w/ the build system... | 04:11 |
| jhutchins | sini: KDE4 is significantly unfinished. Ther are essential every-day components that haven't even been ported yet. | 04:12 |
| jhutchins | sini: Stop thinking latest release number is best. | 04:12 |
| * Jucato edits jhutchins sentence... s/KDE4/KDE 4.0/ | 04:13 | |
| jhutchins | sini: KDE4 is two or three releases before production, and it doesn't even have a first release yet. | 04:13 |
| Jucato | hm... well even then, KDE 4.0 is finished as far as a .0 release is concerned | 04:13 |
| jhutchins | Jucato: Figure nobody really used kde 3 before 3.3. | 04:13 |
| jhutchins | 3.0 wasn't. | 04:13 |
| Jucato | jhutchins: you will have to differentiate between what KDE 4.0 is and what KDE 4 is :) | 04:13 |
| sini | jhutchins: There are a number of features of KDE4 that I desire greatly. :D | 04:14 |
| jhutchins | KDE4 is wonderful - and just a future dream. | 04:14 |
| Jucato | A good read: http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3174 | 04:14 |
| Jucato | jhutchins: um... slightly wrong | 04:14 |
| jhutchins | sini: There are a number of features of the next generation space shuttle that I look foreward to. | 04:14 |
| Jucato | "KDE 4" doesn't refer to a single, final, one-time release. so to call it a "future dream" is a bit inaccurate... | 04:15 |
| sini | jhutchins: >.> You wont sway me I'm an ex-gentoo user :D | 04:15 |
| * jhutchins lives in a world where people have to do daily work on the linux workstations he distributes. | 04:15 | |
| jhutchins | sini: | 04:15 |
| Jucato | sini: as it is though, you will have to use both KDE 3 and KDE 4 if ever you decide to use KDE 4 as your main session (KDE 3 apps in a KDE 4 sesion) | 04:15 |
| jhutchins | Former ricer. | 04:15 |
| krawek | sini: http://www.ciudadmomia.com/~krawek/xs | 04:15 |

| Evolution2 | my external won't mount because it wasn't removed properly..how do I fix this? | 04:16 |
| jhutchins | Actually, I think we're distributing 3.3. | 04:16 |
| Jucato | no one is being forced to use KDE 4.0 as their main (unless you're going to use Fedora 9...) | 04:16 |
| sini | Jucato: yeah, I used the cvs for a while several months ago. It was flakey at best. | 04:16 |
| jhutchins | stable and all that. | 04:16 |
| Evolution2 | it gives me cannot mount volume | 04:17 |
| Jucato | jhutchins: nice. won't upgrade to 3.4? :) | 04:17 |
| Jucato | anyway.... me->isGone = true; | 04:17 |
| sini | doesn't kde4's kwin boast compiz-like compositing and stuff? | 04:18 |
| Jucato | yes and no | 04:18 |
| Jucato | it has compositing and "effects", but I wouldn't compare it yet to the effects that compiz has | 04:19 |
| jhutchins | Jucato: Stable. | 04:19 |
| Evolution2 | can someone help me with that? | 04:19 |
| sini | oh quick question -- I'm not one for reinstalling. When stable jumps up a version.. I know that they boast 6 month release cycles... I can just change my sources.list and be fine right? | 04:19 |
| jhutchins | We must support systems that have been in the field for ten years. | 04:19 |
| Jucato | sini: you're talking about Kubuntu releases now right? if so, then yes | 04:20 |
| jhutchins | They must not be incompatible with the elements we ship to those systems today. | 04:20 |
| sini | jucato: yeah. Thanks :D | 04:20 |
| Jucato | sini: actually, it's becoming simple and simpler lately. more automated and stuff... but sometimes it still fails :( | 04:20 |
| jhutchins | Everybody pile on Evolution2 now, help it out. | 04:20 |

| roob | hello all. i just installed 7.10 and added sources and used aptitude to update....it errored and now when i run apt my computer becomes unresponsive(keyboad does nothing,cap lock light doesnt respond) | 04:23 |
| sini | Oh, another question before I start trying to install it -- are there drawbacks for using a x86_64 release? I know some distros break flash/drivers/etc. | 04:25 |
| sini | I'll prepare a USB bootdiscthing while I wait for an answer about x86_64's tendancy to break, or lack thereof | 04:26 |

| _Rukus | its all of my programs | 05:10 |
| _Rukus | mplayer, vlc, kaffeine | 05:10 |
| MGrunde | _Rukus: What video engine are you using? Have you tried others? | 05:11 |
| yao_ziyuan | also, | 05:11 |
| _Rukus | i dont know, how do i know how do i check, how do i change it? | 05:11 |
| yao_ziyuan | kbuntu's chinese language locale does not show all characters correctly... | 05:11 |
| MGrunde | onishidato: You should always use a separate partition for your /home directory. That way you can reinstall as many times as you want/need, and as long as you don't format your /home partition, all of your data and settings will stay intact. | 05:12 |
| yao_ziyuan | currently, | 05:12 |

| onishidato | MGrunde: sound strange huh? :( | 05:15 |
| MGrunde | _Rukus: I'm not sure. You don't have any problems in Windows? What video driver are you using? | 05:15 |
| MGrunde | onishidato: Very. Ghost should not have touched the second hard drive if you were only reinstalling Windows to the first hard drive. | 05:16 |

| yao_ziyuan | onishidato: why? | 05:22 |
| onishidato | yao_ziyuan: in general we don't have virus | 05:22 |

| * se7en_ thinks he needs a bigger hdd | 05:35 | |
| MGrunde | onishidato: Okay. By the looks of your partitioning, you don't have a separate /home partition, so when you reinstalled kubuntu, everything would have been formatted and overwritten. | 05:35 |
| onishidato | with kubuntu? | 05:36 |
| Kernel | elliott_, myself | 05:36 |
| onishidato | MGrunde: when i reinstall kubuntu? | 05:36 |
| MGrunde | onishidato: Wait. I thought you said you already reinstalled Kubuntu? | 05:38 |
| se7en_ | onishidato: are you using your installed kubuntu now? | 05:38 |
| onishidato | MGrunde: my new one | 05:39 |
| onishidato | MGrunde: yes | 05:39 |
| MGrunde | onishidato: Okay, then yes. When you reinstalled kubuntu, it would have erased everything previously there, as you only have one main partition right now. | 05:39 |
| onishidato | :( | 05:40 |
| onishidato | MGrunde: how can i make partrition for kubuntu? | 05:40 |
| MGrunde | Well, the easiest way would be when you are installing Kubuntu to use the manual partitioning method. | 05:40 |
| MGrunde | It would be very hard to do it now because you would need to resize your root partition, which you can only do when it's not mounted. | 05:41 |

| mike_ | elliot_: if Kubuntu: it's called HAL. if Ubuntu: best put it under "GNOME" I think. | 05:53 |
| mike_ | elliot_: what are you trying to do (detail)? | 05:54 |
| elliott_ | well in the Kcrashhandler program there's a tracebag tab, but it just prints about 50 "no debug symbols found" | 05:54 |

| MGrunde | What's the problem ichthudion? | 06:01 |
| ichthudion | I just installed Kubuntu on my laptop and installed the linuxant drivers for my modem. I can dial-up very well. I can ping hosts, I can connect to irc, I can use apt-get and adept. However, I cannot browse with konqi. | 06:01 |
| mike_ | elliot_: try smbmount | 06:01 |
| mike_ | smbmount //host/share_name /mount_point | 06:02 |
| elliott_ | system menu->remote places->samba shares shows it and lets me browse and copy/delete, but i can't play music directly off the share, and i'm assuming i would be able to if it were mounted. | 06:02 |
| mike_ | ahh | 06:02 |
| MGrunde | ichthudion: How about updating apt? Does that work? | 06:03 |
| mike_ | maybe. if you use amarok, it's a whole nother way to access I think | 06:03 |
| elliott_ | let me try it | 06:03 |

| Evolution2 | um no | 06:06 |
| Evolution2 | hmm | 06:07 |
| Evolution2 | it didn't work | 06:07 |
| MGrunde | ichthudion: Well, unless images and flash are very important, and I hope they're not if you're on dialup, try Lynx. | 06:07 |
| MGrunde | It's a text only browser that you can run from the terminal. | 06:07 |
| MGrunde | Evolution2: What did pmount say? | 06:08 |
| Evolution2 | MGrunde: it doesn't even work on windows. it tells me that its in generic mode. is there a way to force it? | 06:08 |
| ichthudion | MGrunde: I'm very familiar with console browsers as they have saved me many times over the years. But I find it odd that all of my services are working except for web browsing | 06:09 |
| Evolution2 | MGrunde: well it told me its not installed but I am actually on gnome right now | 06:09 |
| MGrunde | ichthudion: I find it odd too. I would imagine that it has something to do with Konqueror, so as I'm not very familiar with it, I'm trying to think of alternatives that don't force you to download firefox. | 06:11 |
| ichthudion | MGrunde: I prefer Firefox. But I know that will takes ages to download | 06:12 |

| yao_ziyuan | it's still not very easy to adapt kbunutu to a chinese computing environment | 11:49 |
| yao_ziyuan | first, the default chinese font does not support all characters displayed | 11:49 |
| arken0493 | Hello. I was on yesterday trying to get help on my new Kubuntu PC. Everytime I use the restricted drivers for my GeForce 8500 GT, I can't see anything, when it's not on, I can see, but I can't run most of my applications. | 11:50 |
| yao_ziyuan | second, installing a chinese input method requires manually googling for a command-line-intensive instruction | 11:50 |
| yao_ziyuan | the best approach is to let the user select his desired desktop language upon kubuntu installation, | 11:53 |
| yao_ziyuan | and if the language is chinese/japanese/korean, | 11:54 |
| yao_ziyuan | the installation program automatically sets up the corresponding input methods and makes them immediately accessible as a tray icon | 11:54 |
| yao_ziyuan | also, should automatically install wenquanyi chinese fonts | 11:55 |
| waylandbill | I have dual head set up with separated displays. If I open a program in desktop 1, it runs in desktop 1 likewise for desktop two. How can I modify the firefox command line in the k menu to allow a window in each desktop? | 12:01 |
| arken0493 | Nobodies on that is helping at the moment. | 12:02 |
| Lynoure | arken0493: Sorry, I don't use closed source drivers. | 12:03 |
| neville_ | What is the command for mounting mdf images again? | 12:04 |
| jussi01 | arken0493: do you still hear the login sound? | 12:04 |
| arken0493 | No. KDE completely crashes unless I boot it via terminal. | 12:04 |
| sini | waylandbill: I can maybe help you if you expand your question to be a bit more clear. | 12:04 |
| Lynoure | neville_: you might need to convert it to iso first with mdf2iso | 12:06 |
| sini | waylandbill: is it treating your two displays as different sessions where you can't move apps between them, or are you wanting the viceversa? | 12:06 |
| neville_ | oh, that's right -_-v | 12:06 |
| waylandbill | sini: right. I don't have xinerama enabled, so I can't move windows between | 12:06 |
| neville_ | sorry, i forgot about .iso ;; | 12:06 |
| gidna | hi | 12:06 |
| gidna | i've installaed gnash but it doesn't play this video http://chris.pirillo.com/2007/11/13/how-to-stream-video-online-for-free/ | 12:07 |
| waylandbill | sini: with that enabled, it's anyones guess which monitor an app starts on and sometimes I have one monitor off. | 12:07 |
| === thenone_ is now known as thenone | ||
| waylandbill | sini: right now, if I start firefox on screen 2, it comes up in screen 2. Start it in screen 1, it comes up in screen 1. | 12:08 |
| sini | waylandbill: what driver? nv? fglrx? open source? | 12:08 |
| waylandbill | sini: nvidia | 12:08 |
| Lynoure | neville_: when you have it as .iso, it's mount -t iso9660 -o loop <Image_File> <Mount_Point> | 12:08 |
| waylandbill | sini: the question really is how to get an menu item in the kmenu for firefox that will open a new window, not try to start a new instance | 12:09 |
| sini | waylandbill: hrm... from what I know, unless you have something in the nv driver that's doing it, if you've got multiple monitors and xinerama off, they'll be completely isolated, and things shouldn't start accidentally on the opposite monitor. :-/ | 12:09 |
| neville_ | Okay, thanks Lynoure | 12:09 |
| waylandbill | sini: I'm saying I disabled xinerama for that reason. | 12:10 |
| sini | oh, so the problem is isolated with firefox? | 12:11 |
| sini | with/to | 12:11 |
| waylandbill | sini: correct. If you try to start firefox from the menu, with one already running, it says it can't start another one. | 12:12 |
| waylandbill | I really don't want another one, just another window. | 12:12 |
| waylandbill | I have already tried the -a command line argument, with same result. | 12:13 |
| sourcemaker | strg -n | 12:13 |
| sini | waylandbill: maybe -new-window | 12:15 |
| waylandbill | sini: okay. that got me closer. If I do that in a command line, it does open a new window.. but if I try in a konsole on the other desktop, it says I've already got one running. :-( | 12:16 |
| sini | -no-remote looks promising | 12:18 |
| waylandbill | sini: looking at that right now | 12:18 |
| faissal | hi there, how can i make firefox open embedded video x-maplyer2 type ?? | 12:19 |
| sini | waylandbill: let me know if it works | 12:20 |
| waylandbill | sini: nope. same result. | 12:21 |
| sini | http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Command_Line_Options#-no-remote -- try running both sessions with the option then | 12:21 |
| sini | because looking through the list its the one you want | 12:22 |
| waylandbill | sini: when I specified no-remote and a second profile, it worked just fine | 12:23 |
| waylandbill | didn't really want a second profile, but that's an acceptable way to do it for what I need. | 12:24 |
| sini | Yeah, thats what I was thinking -- but I dont see why it should need two profiles. :-/ | 12:24 |
| waylandbill | thanks for the help | 12:24 |
| faissal | hello. can someone please tell me how can i get kaffeine to open video in firefox ?? | 12:25 |

| rebugger | hi | 12:34 |
| nick__ | Hi everyone, I have a question about remote access. I leave my computer on all the time and I want to be able to log into over the internet so I can run programs like passwordsafe. Can someone point me to a primer on the internet for this? I have been searching the ubuntu message boards, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for | 12:35 |
| Briareos1 | whats the most logical place to put programs into that did not come from a repository (e.g. freemind, ganttproject, ...)? /usr/local/-something? /opt? | 12:36 |
| Lynoure | Briareos1: whole wars could be had over that question :) | 12:38 |
| Lynoure | Briareos1: both of those are ok. | 12:38 |
| Jucato | I'd opt for /opt. hahah :) | 12:38 |
| Jucato | but yeah, either works. the most important part is access to it. in fact, you can even put it in a subdir in your home | 12:39 |
| Briareos1 | Lynoure :) can you suggest a page where i can find definitions of the different directories? | 12:47 |
| Briareos1 | Jucato yeah i use subdir of the home for apps that only i use | 12:47 |
| Briareos1 | jucato - but this time it's about a multiuser sys :) | 12:48 |
| Jucato | Briareos1: you're best bet would probably /usr/local/ then... unless you're sure that /opt is included in the system $PATH or each user's $PATH | 12:49 |
| spykedtomato | hey all - working with my usb harddrive... had it working, mounted, entry in fstab. Just rebooted my computer and now the drive is hdc1 and not hdb1 - how can i make it have the same dev id every time? | 12:49 |
| Jucato | Briareos1: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard | 12:49 |
| Briareos1 | jucato when is it rather /usr/local/ and when /usr/local/share ? | 12:49 |
| Briareos1 | cheers for the links! | 12:50 |
| Jucato | you don't install in /usr/local/share/... share/ directories are usually where programs install application data | 12:50 |
| Jucato | for example, if you install in /usr/local (you use --prefix=/usr/local for example), binaries are put into /usr/local/bin, app data in /usr/local/share, configurations in /usr/local/etc, and so on | 12:52 |
| Briareos1 | jucato k then I'll do /usr/local/freemind and so forth. thanks to both of you for the help | 12:52 |
| Jucato | er... hm... | 12:52 |
| Jucato | !compile | 12:52 |
| ubotu | Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 12:52 |
| Jucato | Briareos1: you might want to read that too... I think there's some tips about using a different prefix for installs | 12:53 |
| emilsedgh | Jucato: dream came true, 4.0 is tagged ;), Congratulations my KFriend ;) | 12:53 |
| Briareos1 | doesn't seem to make you happy :) well i am just wondering if it does make sense to keep the usual splitting of one app into many dirs (like bin etc and so forth) ... | 12:54 |
| Jucato | emilsedgh: hehe congrats too :) | 12:54 |
| Jucato | Briareos1: for the system, it does make sense :) | 12:54 |
| Briareos1 | jucato how? | 12:54 |
| spykedtomato | working with my usb harddrive... had it working fine, mounted, entry in fstab. Just rebooted my computer and now the drive is hdc1 and not hdb1 like it was when I installed it - how can i make it have the same dev id every time? | 12:55 |
| Briareos1 | in the case when it's not a package it's hard to cleanly remove all files (is my assumption) | 12:55 |
| Lynoure | Briareos1: for stuff that you installed manually, you could go for one location + links for easier cleanup | 12:56 |
| Jucato | well, unless you explicitly tell it to, the system looks for stuff in specific directories, like libraries in lib/ directories, so keeping the usual structure helps the system locate those parts | 12:56 |
| Briareos1 | e.g. i've now /usr/local/freemind-bin-max-0.9.0_Beta_15_icon_butterfly/ and a symlink /usr/local/freemind to that - and i place a symlink to the startscript as /usr/local/bin/freemind ... | 12:57 |
| werner | spykedtomato: did you plugged in other devices either? | 12:57 |
| spykedtomato | werner: yes, my ipod, which is now mounted where the harddrive used to be | 12:58 |
| werner | spykedtomato: mhh ... i never had such problems, after editing my fstab ... have you every device in fstab fixed? | 12:59 |
| spykedtomato | werner: yes | 12:59 |
| werner | spykedtomato: mhhh ... maybe it depends on hald? | 12:59 |
| Jucato | Briareos1: cleaning up what the program installed is a part of the job of the build system (automake, cmake, etc... whatever "make"). when you run "make uninstall", it will remove everything that it installed. provided the source package was done properly and you didn't delete the build directory (where you ran "make") | 13:00 |
| Jucato | Briareos1: I think that's all explained in the link about compiling software | 13:00 |
| MGalaxy | Hello, PLZ suggest me an expert DownloadManager with GUI, Multithread, TempFile settings, Schedule, SpeedControl,... These r not good: KGet, w4x, wxdFast, multiget | 13:01 |
| spykedtomato | werner: dunno - what's hald? | 13:01 |
| Briareos1 | jucato: i ain't compiling in that case - freemind is java so i just download a full zip file and run it from its directory | 13:09 |
| Briareos1 | jucato: the make options i understand on the other hand | 13:10 |
| werner | spykedtomato: may this helps: "http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/HalFAQ" | 13:10 |
| werner | spykedtomato: and this: "http://www.mythic-beasts.com/~mark/random/hal/" | 13:11 |

| ActionParsnip | !skim | 13:18 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about skim - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 13:18 |
| yao_ziyuan | SKIM is KDE's input method manager | 13:18 |
| Jucato | !info skim | ActionParsnip | 13:19 |
| ubotu | actionparsnip: skim: smart common input method platform for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 1.4.5-2ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 1238 kB, installed size 2688 kB | 13:19 |
| yao_ziyuan | ActionParsnip: K Menu > Utilities > Skim - Input method platform | 13:19 |
| Jucato | KDE frontend for SCIM | 13:19 |
| yao_ziyuan | there are two big problems i have encountered since trying Kubuntu | 13:20 |
| yao_ziyuan | one is VMware-specific | 13:20 |
| yao_ziyuan | in VMware, by default, Kubuntu uses a very big screen resolution | 13:20 |
| ActionParsnip | http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osSO8bHdriQ | 13:21 |
| beppe | try | 13:21 |
| yao_ziyuan | much larger than my actual physical monitor resolution | 13:21 |
| yao_ziyuan | the other problem is chinese locale support | 13:22 |
| yao_ziyuan | that SKIM thing should run automatically after install | 13:23 |
| yao_ziyuan | and it should provides an Install New Input Method button | 13:23 |
| ActionParsnip | yao_ziyuan, you could put a symbolic like in ~/.kde/Autostart | 13:23 |
| yao_ziyuan | rather than letting me manually google for a tutorial of how to install an input method | 13:23 |
| yao_ziyuan | ActionParsnip: i know | 13:23 |
| === vit__ is now known as kanoppero | ||
| yao_ziyuan | ActionParsnip: actually, if you run SKIM for once, it by default will set itself to autostart | 13:24 |
| kanoppero | nj | 13:24 |
| yao_ziyuan | does Kubuntu let the user select his locale during installation? | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | yao_ziyuan, coolness :) | 13:25 |
| yao_ziyuan | i remember it does, when selecting Time Zone | 13:25 |
| yao_ziyuan | but that is Time Zone | 13:26 |
| yao_ziyuan | it only affects your time display | 13:26 |
| yao_ziyuan | to set your work language, | 13:26 |
| yao_ziyuan | K Menu > System Settings > Personal > Regional & Language | 13:27 |
| yao_ziyuan | but somehow the "Install New Language" feature in "Regional & Language" does not install a Chinese input method or start SKIM if you add Chinese as a New Language | 13:28 |
| yao_ziyuan | it does install over a hundred MBs of junk | 13:28 |
| yao_ziyuan | like OpenOffice.org help file in chinese | 13:28 |
| yao_ziyuan | which is not something as essential as a Chinese input method | 13:29 |
| subopt | My Meta key doesn't act like a Meta key in xterms since i installed Kubuntu. Is this most likely a KDE thing, or an X thing? | 13:29 |

| noaXess | if i need to configure my internal wired network interface over knetworkmanager with a manual ip-adress, what are the steps? | 13:35 |
| noaXess | need i really configure it over system settings, network? | 13:35 |
| noaXess | ore is there any other way? | 13:36 |
| nosrednaekim | yao_ziyuan: yeah... it will soon though....maybe eclipse? | 13:36 |
| nosrednaekim | noaXess: yeah... do it in system settings | 13:36 |
| noaXess | if i configure my wired network device over system settings / network.. i can't use knetworkmanager | 13:36 |
| yao_ziyuan | nosrednaekim: but is there a gtk/qt form designer for eclipse? | 13:36 |
| noaXess | then the hint is there, manual configuration.. how to turn this back? | 13:36 |
| nosrednaekim | yao_ziyuan: use qt-designer | 13:37 |
| nosrednaekim | noaXess: back to what? | 13:37 |
| biovore | qt-designer does.. and QT does integrate into MSVC | 13:37 |
| noaXess | nosrednaekim: that i can rightclick on knetworkmanager and see there my wired and wireless network interface.. | 13:38 |
| nosrednaekim | noaXess: you can't do that now? | 13:38 |

| nick__ | hello everyone, I have a networking question. I want to log into my desktop remotely over the internet. My computer is assigned an IP address through DHCP by the router (which I do not have control over). Is is possible to give myself remote access when I am on another network (say on a wireless connection at the coffeeshop on the corner?) | 13:51 |
| nick__ | Assuming of course that I do know what the IP address is and have allowed uninvited access through the system preferences | 13:52 |
| nosrednaekim | nick | 13:52 |
| nosrednaekim | nick__: yes, via port forwarding. | 13:52 |
| nick__ | nosrednaekim: Ok, so I need to know the IP address where the main router is plugged in (which I do), but I don't controll the router, can I still forward ports? | 13:53 |
| nosrednaekim | nick__: no. | 13:53 |
| nosrednaekim | well, actually, you might be able to setty up a ssh tunnel, but I don't know how to do that. | 13:54 |
| nick__ | There's really only one program I want to use which is pwsafe (who's description claims to be a good solution to ssh access) Does anyone here know how I might set that up? | 13:55 |
| ActionParsnip | nick__, http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/utils/pwsafe didnt google did you? | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | nick__, sudo apt-get install pwsafe | 14:00 |
| nick__ | ActionParsnip: I have the program installed...the question is how to setup a ssh tunnel from another network for remote access when I dont't control the router and can't forward ports to my local machine | 14:01 |
| ActionParsnip | nick__, if you cant port forward then it can never happen | 14:02 |
| nick__ | ActionParsnip: Yeah, that's what I was afraid of... | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | nick__, the router will not compute the packets and discard them as a hack as the ssh porthas no rule to allow the data | 14:03 |
| ActionParsnip | nick__, get it forwarded and you are smug as a bug in a rug | 14:03 |
| nosrednaekim | not sure about that..... my dad has a tunnel to his work(and he does not control the routers there | 14:04 |
| ActionParsnip | nosrednaekim, to his work pc or to his home pc? | 14:05 |
| nosrednaekim | ActionParsnip: from his work pc to home | 14:05 |
| nosrednaekim | but what he does is set up a tunnel to a remote web server from work, and the connect to that tunnel when he gets home, | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | nosrednaekim, yes as his home router has the ssh port forwarded to his pc. The request comes in from WAN so it can come from anywhere | 14:06 |
| nosrednaekim | not sure EXACTLY how it works.. | 14:06 |
| nosrednaekim | no... he does not tunnel directly home... he tunnels to a intermediate location. | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | nosrednaekim, then he's using some web server thingy. It appears to not be pure ssh | 14:07 |
| nosrednaekim | I don't know how he does it, i'm just saying its possible. | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | nick__, why cant you port forward your router? | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | nosrednaekim, true, anything is possible given time, money and resources ;) | 14:07 |
| nosrednaekim | no... its not a web server function... I think I remember it having something to do with putty? | 14:07 |
| nick__ | ActionParsnip: I'm studing abroad and I live in a dorm so I plug into their hardline | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | nick__, you could advise someone local to the router? | 14:08 |
| nosrednaekim | all I'm saying is I know its possible. | 14:08 |
| nick__ | ActionParsnip: I might be able to ask if they would forward an unused port for me, but I'm still not real comfortable with the language so it would be difficult | 14:09 |
| bmk789 | is there a way to get kmail to use the proxy the rest of KDE is set to use? | 14:09 |
| se7en | what does that pwsafe exactly do | 14:09 |
| nick__ | se7en: It saves all your passwords for you so you don't have to remember them all (or so you can make them non pronouncable and harder to crack) | 14:10 |
| se7en | ic | 14:10 |
| nick__ | Another solution might be, does anyone know of a password storage program that can live on a USB stick that I could carry around with me? | 14:11 |
| bmk789 | nick__: check portable apps, theres something like KeyPass portable that does it | 14:11 |
| nosrednaekim | text file ;) | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | nick__, what about kwallet that ships with kubuntu? | 14:13 |
| nick__ | nosrednaekim: Yeah that's not a terrible idea, but I'd have to change them all if I ever lost it | 14:13 |
| nick__ | bmk789: Thanks, I'll look into that now | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | nick__, tar -czf /home/user/.backup/kwallet.tar.gz .kde/share/apps/kwallet | 14:14 |
| nick__ | ActionParsnip: Do you think I could access that on a usb stick from a machine that was running a different OS | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | nick__, not sure about crossplatform. I saw that pwsafe is which is why im guessing youuse it | 14:15 |

| ActionParsnip | dhq_, /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd restart | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | will flush your dns cache | 14:20 |
| roberto | u guys good at scripts | 14:21 |
| dhq_ | ActionParsnip: /etc/rc.d/init.d/nscd: command not found | 14:21 |
| ActionParsnip | dhq_, i just google that one | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | can you ping sites? | 14:22 |
| roberto | ping <www..> ?? | 14:22 |
| dhq_ | ActionParsnip: yes | 14:22 |
| ActionParsnip | dhq_, you ona laptop? | 14:23 |
| * ActionParsnip thinks this is simple | 14:23 | |
| ActionParsnip | dhq_, go to file in konqueror. do you have work offline ticked :) | 14:24 |
| dhq_ | ActionParsnip: yes i am on a laptop | 14:24 |
| ActionParsnip | dhq_, is it ticked? | 14:25 |
| dhq_ | ActionParsnip: where do i find that | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | dhq_, under file from what i imagine | 14:25 |
| dhq_ | well there is no file there | 14:25 |
| ActionParsnip | dhq_, i'm not on my pc at home im on winslows xp | 14:26 |
| dhq_ | there is only location | 14:26 |
| dhq_ | ActionParsnip: i cant even access any page to see what is wrong | 14:26 |
| anubisza | i think it might be under: Settings->Configure Konq.->Cache-> | 14:27 |
| anubisza | is offline browsing mode enabled? | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | dhq_, -> Settings -> Configure-Konqueror -> Cache | 14:27 |
| ActionParsnip | anubisza, just found that | 14:27 |
| anubisza | :) | 14:27 |
| dhq_ | ActionParsnip: anubisza thanks a ton :) | 14:28 |
| * ActionParsnip thought it was that | 14:28 | |
| anubisza | yay | 14:28 |
| dhq_ | ActionParsnip: anubisza it worked | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dhq_, i use firefox which has offline shenannigans under file | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dhq_, rather than hidden away | 14:28 |
| ActionParsnip | dhq_, when you were out and about your browser set itself offline | 14:29 |
| ActionParsnip | dhq_, hence me suspecting a laptop | 14:29 |
| sebastiano | hi, is it possible to have two users which "can use sudo"? | 14:30 |

| ActionParsnip | anubisza, do you www with konqueror? | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | sebastiano, they can but i wouldnt advise | 14:32 |
| anubisza | yup, i do. | 14:32 |
| ActionParsnip | anub, not sure then. I use firefox / dolphin | 14:33 |
| ActionParsnip | konqueror is too quirky for me | 14:33 |

| eagles051387 | basy: look at the 2nd link | 14:35 |
| eagles051387 | that should help ya out | 14:35 |

| sebastiano | se7en: ok tnx | 14:37 |
| noaXess | !find openmotif | 14:37 |
| se7en | eagles051387: you could add a group | 14:37 |
| ubotu | Package/file openmotif does not exist in gutsy | 14:38 |
| eagles051387 | se7en: with same permissions as sudo | 14:38 |
| eagles051387 | cuz i have a friend who refuses to touch kubuntu or any other of this distro for that matter cuz he hates the sudo command | 14:38 |
| noaXess | does anybody know openmotif.. and if.. is there any deb package for it? | 14:38 |
| se7en | i guess i have only one sudo here eagles051387 | 14:38 |
| eagles051387 | se7en: can u change the command form using sudo to su | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | eagles051387, if he's running apps as root he\s asking for trouble. Thats why Linux is so much more secure than windows | 14:39 |
| ActionParsnip | eagles051387, especially apps accessing the www | 14:40 |
| se7en | eagles051387: you would have to have a real root to do so | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | eagles051387, once it configured you rarely use sudo | 14:40 |
| basy | <eagles051387> There is no soft about capturing video from desktop on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaApplications :( | 14:40 |
| eagles051387 | what im trying to say is can he modify the command so that su is exactly like sudo but instead of typign sudo he types su | 14:40 |
| eagles051387 | but with the same security of sudo | 14:40 |
| eagles051387 | basy: give me a min ill take a look | 14:40 |

| mot_ | i mean, i have found several methods to convert AVI files to dvd format, and i've burned them | 14:43 |
| mot_ | and they look find on my computer's dvd player, but they skip like hell on my home dvd player (which is a quality system) | 14:43 |
| mot_ | any idea why a burnt dvd would play just fine on my laptop and skip/pop on my home theather system? | 14:43 |
| eagles051387 | any scratches | 14:44 |
| mot_ | nope | 14:44 |
| mot_ | same thing happened on 4 copies using 2 different methods. brand new discs | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | mot_, try burning the disk slower | 14:45 |
| mot_ | how would they effect it? | 14:45 |
| mot_ | s/they/that* | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | mot_, it affects how much laser the dye gets | 14:45 |
| mot_ | hmm | 14:45 |
| ActionParsnip | mot_, makes the data "darker" you could say | 14:46 |
| mot_ | i'm tempted to hop over to my parents' dvd burner on their windows machine and burn it, just to see if it's possibly my burner | 14:46 |

| mot_ | 11X | 14:46 |

| eagles051387 | i would try it slightly slower and if that doesnt work then its probably a problem with ur drive | 14:47 |
| eagles051387 | how olds the drive | 14:47 |
| mot_ | ~3yrs | 14:47 |
| ActionParsnip | mot_, burn at like 4x and go for a shower / cig / beer / watch telly | 14:47 |
| mot_ | hang on, lemme try it on my parents' windows box with a diff. dvd burner. | 14:47 |
| eagles051387 | mot_: do u do alot of burning | 14:48 |
| mot_ | it could just be the drive itself. | 14:48 |
| mot_ | yea, i do, eagles051387 | 14:48 |
| eagles051387 | mot_: u might need to get a cleaner for it then | 14:48 |
| mot_ | silly question for #kubuntu, anybody know of a free burner out there for 'doze? | 14:48 |
| basy | <eagles051387> Thanks, there is another one with KDE forntend: krecordmydesktop ... | 14:48 |

| giuseppe | Hello to everyone... Yesterday I was abe to see a windows vista PC from my kubuntu PC using a LAN network... but today I'm not able to see a windows XP pc from my kubuntu pc using the same LAN network | 15:00 |
| giuseppe | can u help me? | 15:00 |
| eagles051387 | giuseppe: u trying to share files with it | 15:00 |
| usamahashimi | Can anyone guide me that which sound-server should I use? (which is the best one) | 15:00 |
| eagles051387 | !alsa | 15:01 |
| 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 | 15:01 |
| eagles051387 | isnt alsa the default | 15:01 |

| eagles051387 | from the windows pc or other way around | 15:02 |
| usamahashimi | eagles051387: yes, but I heard that pulseaudio or Jack is more better? | 15:02 |

| ibilic | how do you rebuild all the packages? | 15:05 |
| ibilic | there was a command for that | 15:05 |
| eagles051387 | giuseppe: does the windows machine have the winblows firewall enabled | 15:05 |
| eagles051387 | if it does u need to disable it | 15:05 |
| giuseppe | eagles051387: I disabled it | 15:05 |
| noaXess | !find vncviewer | 15:06 |

| giuseppe | Mshome | 15:07 |
| eagles051387 | giuseppe: is this a home network | 15:08 |
| giuseppe | eagles051387: correct | 15:08 |
| Lynoure | ibilic: And you do mean build, and not update or reconfigure? Most users never build Ubuntu packages yourself | 15:08 |
| eagles051387 | r u running wireless on both of these machines or wired | 15:09 |
| giuseppe | eagles051387: u mean I have to rename name of network? | 15:09 |
| eagles051387 | giuseppe: make sure both machines have same subnet | 15:09 |
| giuseppe | how can I check on kubuntu? | 15:09 |
| eagles051387 | it could be u r on 2 different subnets. | 15:09 |
| giuseppe | eagles051387: yeah... probably | 15:09 |
| ibilic | Lynoure: my computer is all messed up, I can't update the packages, so I remember someone once told me a command here that rebuilds/reconfigures/fixes stuff it took a long time, it was asking me a lot of questions about what fonts I want to use, the keyboard layout etc... | 15:09 |
| eagles051387 | giuseppe: try that and see if that helps | 15:10 |
| eagles051387 | !dpkg | 15:10 |

| ibilic | all? | 15:10 |
| Arwen | *shrug* | 15:10 |
| ibilic | well... how do I know what's wrong? | 15:11 |

| ubotu | XxValetexX: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) | 15:24 |
| Arwen | eagles051387, 'iptables -L'. It's set to enable everything by default. | 15:25 |
| eagles051387 | Arwen: how come he cant see his windows machine or files. does he need samba | 15:25 |
| Arwen | dunno, he might. I think the client is installed by default though. | 15:26 |

| eagles051387 | Arwen: any ideas | 15:27 |
| rothchild | I found samba a PITA to get going even between to *buntu boxes, You need to make sure that the user and group from both machines has access rights | 15:28 |
| eagles051387 | rothchild: u dont need samba between 2 linux boxes thats between linux and windows u need nfs between 2 linux boxes | 15:28 |
| eagles051387 | !nfs | 15:28 |
| ubotu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 15:28 |

| eagles051387 | !java | 15:47 |
| ubotu | To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository.

| eagles051387 | basy: could be that there is something in the code that creates an infinite loop | 15:47 |

| eagles051387 | basy: for me it loads fine make sure u have the jre installed | 15:49 |
| BluesKaj | basy, I've seen the same thing .The poorly designed constant changing media sites are like that , where you have animations etc | 15:51 |
| unix_infidel | can anyone tell me why thunderbird isnt automatically throwing sent messages into the sent folder? | 15:51 |
| BluesKaj | basy, it's not the browser's fault , when most sites are written to accomodate IE | 15:52 |
| basy | <BluesKaj>: but i have problem with www.ubuntu.com, and i belive it is not for IE... | 15:52 |
| basy | are there any javascript libs or packages | 15:53 |
| basy | javascript has nothing to do with java, am I right? | 15:54 |
| emilsedgh | right | 15:55 |
| BluesKaj | yes I see that basy..try this : sudo update-alternatives --config java , and then choose :/usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/jre/bin/java ,if you have it | 15:55 |
| basy | <BluesKaj> i have sun-java6-jre installed and no problems with java | 15:57 |
| BluesKaj | ok | 15:58 |

| BluesKaj | basy, that's fine , it's the latest java ...as far as java script is concerned , I dunno much | 16:03 |
| eagles051387 | i only know basic java and im guessing there is something in the code thats causing the infinite loop of some sort or a bug with what ever browser u use | 16:04 |
| eagles051387 | basy: have u tried it in opera | 16:04 |
| eagles051387 | BluesKaj: whats ur take on gutsy tablet pc support | 16:05 |
| yao_ziyua1 | if KU can put an icon on the Desktop, "Watch Free TV programs and movies" | 16:06 |
| yao_ziyua1 | a p2p internet video player | 16:06 |
| BluesKaj | basy, a hint ... if you're using konq browser , the javascript in configure "open new windows" should be set to 'allow' instead of 'smart' | 16:07 |
| yao_ziyua1 | i think the world will make a beaten path to Kbuntu's door | 16:07 |
| BluesKaj | eagles051387, sorry , i have no idea :-P | 16:07 |
| eagles051387 | BluesKaj: i would like ot put the 64bit of kubuntu on here but im worried alot of my tablet features wont work | 16:08 |
| eagles051387 | BluesKaj: whats ur take on 8.04 | 16:09 |
| BluesKaj | eagles051387, tablet pc's are specialized devices , I think i'd do some research before trying 64bit | 16:09 |
| eagles051387 | BluesKaj: if gutsy works on normal desktop what would cause it not to work on laptop | 16:10 |
| BluesKaj | eagles051387, all I can say is i hope 8.04 does more than Gutsy ...not real impressed with 7.10 so far | 16:10 |
| yao_ziyua1 | KU is certainly a great distro | 16:10 |
| yao_ziyua1 | only if it can support east asian language displaying and inputing in a more idiot-proof way | 16:11 |
| sigma_123 | indeed it is | 16:11 |
| eagles051387 | BluesKaj: what u not impressed about | 16:11 |
| yao_ziyua1 | i'm a KDE guy, not a GNOME guy | 16:11 |
| BluesKaj | not much diff from feisty , don't see any advantages for kubuntu, maybe for gnome-ubuntu there are some | 16:12 |
| sigma_123 | gutsy didnt rely change much. an puting d3phin in just took it one step backwards | 16:12 |
| yao_ziyua1 | GNOME is plastic, earthy | 16:12 |
| yao_ziyua1 | KDE is glassy, crystal, shiny and liquid | 16:12 |
| Lynoure | yao_ziyua1: those are just looks, easily changed. | 16:12 |
| eagles051387 | yao_ziyua1: gnome isnt as developed as kde is | 16:13 |
| BluesKaj | sigma_123, agreed , dolphin ain't my cuppa tea either , using konq as afile manager | 16:13 |
| yao_ziyua1 | Lynoure: first impression is very important | 16:13 |
| sigma_123 | gnome is ok when u are using a server. i wouldnt use it on a everyday workstation | 16:13 |
| eagles051387 | sigma_123: i wouldnt even use gnome on a server either lol | 16:13 |
| yao_ziyua1 | KDE's animated effects are also attractive | 16:14 |
| sigma_123 | yeah i use konq as well. but the dolphin in kde4 is much beta. it just needed time | 16:14 |
| eagles051387 | konquerer suxs in my opinion | 16:15 |
| yao_ziyua1 | no browser can beat firefox | 16:16 |
| yao_ziyua1 | firefox is the standard now | 16:16 |
| NickPresta | yao_ziyua1, eagles051387 in your opinion | 16:16 |
| sigma_123 | well servers usualy dont use a gui. just text mode because usually servers dnt hav monitors attached | 16:16 |
| yao_ziyua1 | like, | 16:17 |
| eagles051387 | sigma_123: true but how much would they degrade from performance. i have 1gb of ram in a semi server environment | 16:17 |
| yao_ziyua1 | google's official toolbar supports ie, firefox, mac | 16:17 |
| sigma_123 | firefox is ok in gnome but rather useless on kde. if they make a qt version it wil b good | 16:17 |
| yao_ziyua1 | but not konquerer | 16:17 |
| eagles051387 | kubuntu is such light weight i dont think it would degread performance in server environment that much | 16:17 |
| NickPresta | yao_ziyua1, Google does not make the standard and it's decision to support Firefox is based purely on demographics | 16:18 |
| sigma_123 | konq isnt all that bad as a web browser. ive learnt 2use it | 16:18 |
| yao_ziyua1 | demographics? then it should just support ie | 16:18 |
| Lynoure | eagles051387: what would be the point of having KDE on a server? | 16:18 |
| NickPresta | yao_ziyua1, it does :) This is off-topic anyways. (http://www.google.com/tools/firefox/toolbar/FT3/intl/en/index.html) | 16:19 |
| sigma_123 | it wouldnt degrade performance bt as i say servers usually never have monitors so it would be pointless 2have a gui | 16:20 |
| eagles051387 | Lynoure: only advantage is for someone like who doesnt know alot of commands | 16:20 |
| camilla | Hello I'm trying to get my fav. VLC to work. It studders and droppes files when showing AVI files. When it workes the subtitles are enormus :-) . I've googled and it seemes to be a common problem and i've not seen any solutions. Then I tried Kaffein there the pic. is good but the subtitles does't show. Any ideas? | 16:20 |
| yao_ziyua1 | google toolbar is available for ie and firefox | 16:21 |
| Lynoure | eagles051387: I'd rather then recommend them to learn more before starting offering services :) | 16:21 |
| yao_ziyua1 | not macos's native browser | 16:21 |
| yao_ziyua1 | it's google's policy to support an open source browser | 16:22 |
| NickPresta | !ot | yao_ziyua1 | 16:22 |
| ubotu | yao_ziyua1: #kubuntu is the official Kubuntu support channel, for all Kubuntu-related support questions. Please use #kubuntu-offtopic for general chatter. Thanks! | 16:22 |
| yao_ziyua1 | and the most popular among all open source candidates | 16:22 |
| yao_ziyua1 | ok | 16:22 |
| eagles051387 | Lynoure: lol. im thinking of starting offering services in malta by partnering up with a big company that sells hardwear for machines and basically build oem systems | 16:23 |
| sigma_123 | its always good 2know whats happening under the gui. esp 2diagnose problems | 16:25 |
| BluesKaj | yao_ziyua1, I understand your opinion about FF as the 'std' browser , it works very well, but good ol' konq makes me feel safer on some sites. Perhaps I'm misinformed about konq's security, I'm not sure , but I wish i could run it on window$ | 16:25 |
| sigma_123 | im with u on that one. konq blocks alot of dodgy code | 16:27 |
| sigma_123 | but then again linux is immune 2alot of viruses. | 16:28 |
| BluesKaj | sigma_123, granted, FF is faster than konq on my setup in most cases, that can be frustrating sometimes | 16:29 |
| sigma_123 | yeah thats true as well. but i gues in time that will change | 16:30 |
| BluesKaj | and I worked hard to get konq all setup to work with media heavy sites , so i'm reluctant to abondon it :) | 16:30 |
| NickPresta | BluesKaj, what do you mean Firefox is "faster"? | 16:31 |
| BluesKaj | loads pages faster , NickPresta | 16:31 |
| NickPresta | Firefox does progressive rendering. Konqueror waits until the page has loaded before it shows it to you. :) | 16:31 |
| sigma_123 | oh i dont use media heavy sites. thats y i dont have the same speed problem as u | 16:32 |
| sigma_123 | NickPresta: ah so thats y it takes longer! | 16:32 |
| BluesKaj | <--- into music and audio ...their sites are "loaded" | 16:33 |

| jimmy51 | all: by the way, this has been the most friendly linux chat experience i've ever had... the last few times i've tried to dive into linux, i've got my head bit off for asking stupid questions | 17:43 |
| bascule | well we are a tolerate bunch in here :) | 17:44 |
| BluesKaj | jimmy51, there are no stupid questions , jus t stupid answers :) | 17:44 |
| werner | jimmy51: :) nice | 17:44 |
| bascule | and none of your stuff is stupid, all quite interesting and backed up with your own tests/experiments | 17:45 |
| werner | veeery good | 17:45 |
| jimmy51 | hehe. i was corporate IT support for a while... it's nice when a user did their homework before coming to complain | 17:46 |
| jimmy51 | seeya guys | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | yeah jimmy51 , we have a very few here who just hangout to show off their "linux chops", but don't really help anyone, but not many :) | 17:46 |
| mikey_ | mikey was asking | 17:46 |
| BluesKaj | mikey_, go to #mandriva and ask | 17:47 |
| BluesKaj | this is kubuntu | 17:47 |
| makers_mark | is anyone running wine? | 17:48 |
| bascule | I've has some success | 17:48 |
| BluesKaj | I run wine with some apps | 17:48 |
| BluesKaj | makers_mark, what app do you want to run under wine ? | 17:48 |
| makers_mark | i'm curious about Steam *source and non-source* and Fruity Loops. | 17:48 |
| makers_mark | i asked on the wine channel but no one's answering. | 17:49 |
| * BluesKaj backs off ... no clue what that is :) | 17:49 | |
| makers_mark | :( | 17:49 |
| bascule | makers_mark: have to be patient in #winehq, but they are good | 17:49 |
| werner | makers_mark: do you (want to) play cs under linux? | 17:49 |
| bascule | !steam | 17:49 |
| ubotu | Steam can be found at: http://www.steampowered.com/ | 17:49 |
| makers_mark | werner i wand to be able to play all of my steam games under wine with no issue. | 17:50 |
| makers_mark | werner and i also want to run Fruity Loops (music app) with now issues. | 17:50 |
| bascule | dunno if that helps, but fruity-loops is not one I know of, I know the app but not running it in wine | 17:50 |
| werner | makers_mark: mh, there exists another software for using winapps under linux ... but i have forgotten the name ... sry | 17:50 |
| makers_mark | SourceOS | 17:50 |
| makers_mark | i know,but it's still in alpha. | 17:50 |
| bascule | makers_mark: the 'no issues' may be a large and unrealistic expectation by the way ;) | 17:51 |
| werner | makers_mark: maybe channel #css can help you?!? | 17:51 |
| makers_mark | i just got tired of windows... | 17:51 |
| makers_mark | i'll try that,thanks. | 17:51 |
| werner | makers_mark: i can imagine .. ;-) | 17:51 |
| werner | makers_mark: good luck ! | 17:51 |
| makers_mark | thanks | 17:51 |
| makers_mark | *thumbs up* | 17:51 |
| ScorpKing | makers_mark: there are programs like fruity loops for linux | 17:51 |
| bascule | lmms | 17:52 |
| makers_mark | ScorpKing like what? | 17:52 |
| bascule | !info lmms | 17:52 |
| rothchild | makers_mark: check out hydrogen | 17:52 |
| ubotu | lmms: Linux Multimedia Studio. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.3.0-1ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 2525 kB, installed size 6436 kB | 17:52 |
| werner | rothchild: i thing that was the software ... could that be? | 17:52 |
| ScorpKing | yeah.. read there ^ | 17:52 |
| rothchild | fruity loops should work under wine, reaper also works well check out wineASIO to get it working well low latency | 17:53 |
| makers_mark | i don't think it's EXACTLY like fl,i'll check it out. | 17:53 |
| ScorpKing | makers_mark: if it's EXACTLY like fl some ppl will get sued | 17:54 |
| rothchild | makers_mark: no not exactly, to get the most out of a linux music system you'll need to get your head around using lots of 'bits' and liking them all up together with JACK | 17:54 |
| camilla2 | 1280X1024@75hz | 17:55 |
| rothchild | I think FL will work under wine, you may also be able to use it with wineASIO | 17:55 |
| makers_mark | i'm only talking about functionality here.i'm doing serious music production and fl is the only app i use in windows. | 17:55 |
| === ui is now known as sbucat | ||
| camilla2 | BluesKaj | 17:56 |
| makers_mark | and the wine guys finally replied and apparently Steam works fine. | 17:56 |
| ScorpKing | anyone know how to read .lit files in linux? | 17:56 |
| bascule | what are they | 17:56 |
| werner | ScorpKing: what are lit-files ... ? can you explain that in a hsort way? | 17:57 |
| === Arwen is now known as atomicpotato | ||
| ScorpKing | .lit files are books. it's common on MS | 17:57 |
| werner | really? what apps? | 17:57 |
| BluesKaj | camilla2, advance subtitles , ctrl+alt+right , delay ctrl+alt+left (arrow keys) | 17:57 |
| Lynoure | DRMed books... | 17:57 |
| werner | oh... | 17:58 |
| * ScorpKing nods.. | 17:58 | |
| bascule | !info clit | 17:58 |
| ubotu | Package clit does not exist in gutsy | 17:58 |
| rothchild | makers_mark: I use Cakewalk Sonar for everything and keep an XP machine just for music, I'm still working on migrating myself to be able to do what I want music wise with linux | 17:58 |
| atomicpotato | wait, are they PDF style books? IIRC, PDF DRM was broken a long time ago. | 17:58 |
| Lynoure | Microsoft Reader seems to be listed as the only reading software for them. | 17:59 |
| atomicpotato | (the US even arrested some Russian tourist because of it) | 17:59 |
| bascule | ScorpKing: well thats what you need appaerently 'clit' :) | 17:59 |
| camilla2 | Is'nt that to delay/speed up the subtitles? | 17:59 |
| ScorpKing | bascule: ah thanks. will check it out. :D | 17:59 |
| werner | all: i read, that lit-files can be opened with any texteditor ...(??) | 17:59 |
| atomicpotato | or not | 17:59 |
| bascule | ScorpKing: http://senthilkumaran.wordpress.com/2006/11/16/reading-lit-files-in-gnulinux/ | 17:59 |
| ScorpKing | ty :) | 17:59 |
| werner | +lol+ | 17:59 |
| werner | !lit | 18:00 |
| makers_mark | rothchild do you think it's best to keep windows for a while? | 18:00 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about lit - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 18:00 |
| werner | i'm a noob *g* | 18:00 |
| atomicpotato | gah, the r300 driver's xv support is BROKEN | 18:00 |
| rothchild | makers_mark: if you can't do without FL and can't get it running under wine then yes but I think L works I'm sure I saw it listed in the Appdb at WINE | 18:01 |
| werner | (*g* http://filext.com ) | 18:01 |
| Lynoure | werner: there are two kinds of .lit, latter being Haskell, and yes openable with any text editor, but not what ScorpKing meant :) | 18:02 |
| werner | Lynoure: ah, that explains it , thank you | 18:02 |
| camilla2 | BluesKaj The subtitles dont show at all! | 18:03 |
| * werner just noobing around here *g* | 18:03 | |
| ScorpKing | makers_mark: i think lmms is as close as you'll get to fl for now. not sure how hyrdogen compares | 18:03 |
| rothchild | makers_mark: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=178 | 18:03 |
| bascule | ScorpKing: hydrogen is just a drum-machine afaik | 18:03 |
| ScorpKing | oh | 18:04 |
| makers_mark | yeah,i just found it myself.doesn't seem too bad. | 18:04 |
| rothchild | no harm giving it a try just don't blast your xp machine just yet ;-) | 18:04 |
| rothchild | makers_mark: what soundcard are you using? | 18:05 |
| bascule | makers_mark: your one of those people in a difficult situation, arguably the biggest for linux adoption, lots of intellextual investment in an app that doesn't run on linux, good luck | 18:05 |
| BluesKaj | camilla2,you can set them under view in kaffeine | 18:05 |

| makers_mark | bascule i'm going to test everything out on my pc (running ubuntu) and i'll see what happens there. | 18:06 |
| rothchild | intel should run ok, is that what you use with with FL? | 18:07 |
| camilla2 | blueskaj:I'll check | 18:07 |
| ScorpKing | makers_mark: once you've installed lmms open /usr/share/lmms/projects/demos/loop_collection.mmp and a few other samples to see what it can do. | 18:08 |
| camilla2 | blueskaj: the subtitles are detected, but they are not shown. | 18:09 |
| makers_mark | ScorpKing i'm going to run fl first and see how it works. | 18:09 |

| Arwen | hmm | 18:27 |
| Ertain | Hello everyone. I've been trying to make my computer move the data from my Xbox 360 to a router in another room. I have read many tutorials but none of them seem to help. I have tried using this tutorial, http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/Networking/Connecting_to_XBox_Live_through_a_linux_computer_connected_to_a_wireless_LAN, but I've read that to the last letter and it still won't work. Any ideas? | 18:27 |
| Ertain | I don't know if I have to set up a DNS on my computer and feed the Xbox 360 the information from my computer. | 18:27 |
| zafer | schoonmaker | 18:27 |
| rothchild | pparker have you tried grabbing the .deb straight from packages.ubuntu.com ? | 18:27 |
| bascule | arwen: console res is apssed to the kernel so kernel needs to support widesreen, it doesn't as yet | 18:28 |
| pparker | yes but i got an eroor too | 18:28 |
| rothchild | pparker you'll need to close adept etc before trying to install it? | 18:28 |

| uasc | can somoen help> | 18:29 |
| pparker | this time i'm getting them | 18:30 |
| werner | Ertain: mh, i meant, what kind of protocol? | 18:30 |
| Ertain | It uses UDP as we as TCP. | 18:30 |
| pparker | ok it's installed | 18:31 |
| werner | Ertain: mh, okay, but what kind of service? (i have no xbox) | 18:31 |
| camilla2 | If someone can help me whith eather Kaffein or VLC I've posted the VLC log here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50747/ I tried to reinstall VLC but no result. | 18:32 |
| Ertain | werner: now what do you mean by service? | 18:32 |
| bascule | Ertain: that is to connect 360 to the net, file transfer is a different kettle of fish altogether | 18:32 |
| werner | Ertain: ssh? telnet? ftp? smb? or something absolutely different? | 18:33 |
| Ertain | Now that I would not know. I'll look that up. | 18:33 |
| bascule | gotta be smb/samba surely | 18:33 |
| * bascule contemplates the ability to access save games on a 360 from remote, coolness | 18:34 | |
| Ertain | Then I guess it's smb. | 18:35 |
| pparker | i got this message every time i run apt-get | 18:36 |
| pparker | " | 18:36 |
| pparker | Processing triggers for libc6 ... | 18:36 |
| pparker | ldconfig deferred processing now taking place | 18:36 |
| mnkln | Hi | 18:36 |
| werner | Ertain: so, nmb/smb. have you tried to mount the xbox dir with smbmount? have you thied smbclient? is the xbox dir readable? (i have no idea about xbox and the tech behind it, so rorry about asking all that stuff .. ) | 18:36 |
| pparker | is it possible to fix that | 18:36 |
| pparker | ? | 18:36 |
| camilla2 | ahh VLC is working again, I deleted everything and reinstalled it again. But now it's just the huge subtitles. I managed to fix that before by choosing a different font | 18:37 |
| Arwen | pparker, by itself, that's normal | 18:37 |
| Ertain | I haven't tried that. How would one go about mounting the 360's hard drive? | 18:37 |
| Arwen | take it out, put it in, mount | 18:37 |
| werner | Ertain: thats the question, isnt it? | 18:37 |
| pparker | must log off | 18:38 |
| pparker | bye all | 18:38 |
| mnkln | Can anybody recommend a database, I'm used to using MS Access 2000? Thanks | 18:38 |
| Ertain | I'm sure it's complicated. | 18:38 |
| werner | mnkln: JB4o, or mysql ... ? | 18:39 |
| werner | Ertain: mh. nothing worked? what says the log? | 18:39 |
| werner | mnkln: the question is: for what do you plan to use the db for? | 18:40 |
| Ertain | That's the thing, I don't know where log would be. I've seen little things in the system's log, but as the log for iptables, or something of the like, I don't know. | 18:40 |
| mnkln | werner: That is a very good question | 18:40 |
| Arwen | Ertain, afaik, it just prints to the kernel log (which happens to be part of the syslog) | 18:41 |
| Ertain | What's the kernel log, dmeg? Or is it /var/log/messages? | 18:41 |
| werner | Ertain: mh, maybe "/var/log/smb.log" or either? | 18:41 |
| Ertain | I shall look at that. | 18:41 |
| === stephen is now known as steveire | ||
| mnkln | I want to creat some simple membership lists | 18:41 |
| * Ertain looks at that. | 18:41 | |
| mnkln | I'm used to the point and click GUI way of doing things | 18:42 |
| Ertain | Nope, I don't have an smb.log | 18:42 |
| werner | mnkln: mh, i use mysql for that kind of stuff ... but thats in your own opinion... | 18:42 |
| steveire | I have two kubuntu powered laptops with wireless cards. What's the easiest way to transfer several gigs of data from one to the other? | 18:43 |
| werner | Ertain: mh. nothing else there? exists a log-mechanism on your xbox? (to gather more information on what's happening) | 18:43 |
| Arwen | steveire, over Ethernet | 18:43 |
| bascule | :) | 18:43 |
| * bascule agrees | 18:43 | |
| steveire | Arwen: Can you be more specific? | 18:43 |
| Ertain | There isn't a log mechanism on the 360. | 18:44 |
| steveire | Can they communicate directly with each other or do they need a router between them etc? | 18:44 |
| werner | Ertain: it's getting complicated ... :-) | 18:44 |
| Arwen | steveire, get yourself a router or a multi-port NIC. Create a share on each. Move files. | 18:44 |
| bascule | Ertain: can you stream from the 360 to windows machines? I know it is possible | 18:44 |
| werner | Ertain: maybe you should try to create a smb-server and try to connect from the xbox to it? | 18:45 |
| Arwen | steveire, or, even faster, fetch a phillip's screwdriver and a torx screwdriver, remove the hard drive from one, and place it in the other. | 18:45 |
| Ertain | I'm sure I could, if I had a Windows pc. | 18:45 |
| bascule | steveire: look at ad-hoc wireless networking | 18:45 |
| steveire | What's a multiport NIC? I do have a router but I thought it would be faster to communicate directly between them | 18:45 |
| Arwen | no, an Ethernet router would be much faster | 18:45 |
| steveire | bascule: Do you know anything about it? | 18:45 |
| bascule | steveire: not by a long shot, a network is a network | 18:45 |
| Arwen | and a multiport NIC is a NIC with multiple ports. | 18:45 |
| steveire | OK. I'll use the router. | 18:46 |
| bascule | steveire: only that ypu can communicatre without a router, but no real point if ypu have one | 18:46 |
| mnkln | werner: Can I use a GUI frontend for mysql? I need to transfer about 1,500 records once a month | 18:46 |
| steveire | I'll connect one or both to the router with a cable for speed. | 18:46 |
| mnkln | they are in CSV form | 18:46 |
| steveire | So how do I set up a share? | 18:46 |
| bascule | steveire: both | 18:46 |
| * Arwen would still just physically move the hard drives for that much data | 18:47 | |
| werner | mnkln: mysqladmin may be an idea | 18:47 |
| Arwen | !nfs | steveire | 18:47 |
| ubotu | steveire: nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 18:47 |
| Arwen | you can use SAMBA if you want, but it's a good deal slower on Linux | 18:47 |
| steveire | Arwen: It's a laptop, so only one hd slot. I do have a usb cradle, but it's generally slow. I'm thinking of a faster connection if possible. | 18:48 |
| bascule | Arwen: is it slower? I got 8.5 -9MB/s on a 100Mb ethernet | 18:48 |
| Arwen | ah | 18:48 |
| steveire | Arwen: I'll have a look at nfs in a bit. Cheers | 18:48 |
| Arwen | bascule, samba? yes, very. Compared to Windows at least. And definitely to NFS. | 18:48 |
| werner | i hope, i do not messed up with ertain ... | 18:48 |
| Arwen | probably can't notice on 100Mb though | 18:48 |
| bascule | but 8.5-9MB/x is standard for 100Mb ethernet | 18:49 |
| Arwen | see above, and technically, 100Mbit should go to 12.5MB/s. | 18:49 |
| bascule | Arwen: it was horrible, but I changed MTU on both nodes to match the router, sorted it out | 18:49 |
| bascule | Arwen: never 12.5, overhead of TCP ACK | 18:50 |
| Arwen | ah | 18:50 |

| BluesKaj | leileilol, alsamixer in the konsole , check the number of vol ctrls | 19:10 |
| BluesKaj | canen, what about kcontrol ? | 19:10 |
| uasc | when I logout of GNOME it does not give me the option for "KDE 4" | 19:11 |

| BluesKaj | canen, wow you have bigger probs than kde default appearances...I think a reinstall of kubuntu-desktop may be in order | 19:14 |
| canen | tried that. | 19:14 |
| BluesKaj | what about kde | 19:14 |
| canen | BluesKaj: the systems thing is not critical for me, neither is the default style. I was just curious | 19:15 |
| leileilol | gah, 2 speakers are still the only ones detected | 19:15 |
| Ahmuck | i've lost my taskbar, how do i get it back? | 19:15 |
| leileilol | all the '3d' controls in the volume just clone the sound fromt he front speakers to the back | 19:15 |
| Ahmuck | how do i re-configure my taskbar? | 19:15 |
| BluesKaj | canen, you must be running 2 desktops then gnome and kde, right ? | 19:15 |
| canen | nope | 19:16 |

| kim_ | adept is crased please help me | 19:41 |
| InspironUser | kim_, details. | 19:42 |
| BluesKaj | !adeptfix | kim | 19:42 |
| ubotu | kim: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 19:42 |
| InspironUser | What does fuser do there? | 19:43 |
| terran4000 | FUSER(1): fuser - identify processes using files or sockets | 19:43 |
| InspironUser | Yeah, that's not helpful | 19:44 |
| terran4000 | lol | 19:44 |
| BluesKaj | !fuser | 19:44 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about fuser - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 19:44 |
| InspironUser | The flags give more information though, i looked it up | 19:44 |
| InspironUser | It identifies the user/process accessing the file, and then prompts if you want to kill the process. | 19:44 |
| InspironUser | Makes sense | 19:45 |
| terran4000 | Same thing I said :-) | 19:45 |
| terran4000 | Minus the kill part | 19:45 |
| InspironUser | Which is important | 19:45 |
| terran4000 | details details | 19:45 |
| InspironUser | haha | 19:45 |
| InspironUser | Naw, I was just like, what good does identifying process do, if you're not piping it to something or acting on it... | 19:46 |
| InspironUser | ...its all in the flags | 19:46 |
| BluesKaj | that's what the ppl here "in the know" who script the bot responses have decided :) | 19:46 |
| InspironUser | werd, I know its a bot now. | 19:47 |
| === michazoet_ is now known as michazoet | ||

| bascule | it's a storm bot :) | 19:47 |
| InspironUser | "ok" is relative. | 19:47 |
| InspironUser | My GF doesn't think it's "ok" that I spend so much time fiddling with the computorz | 19:48 |
| terran4000 | That's what the other hand is for | 19:48 |

| BluesKaj | InspironUser, hate giving away my age, but i remember seeing the first bond movie "Dr No" ... it still holds up :) | 20:00 |
| terran4000 | Ah, the classics. Only way I saw it was dvd >_> | 20:00 |
| terran4000 | gidna: have you tried adobe flash? | 20:01 |
| BluesKaj | !flash | 20:02 |
| ubotu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 20:02 |
| ubotu | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 20:02 |
| InspironUser | BluesKaj, this is not the appropriate place to discuss bondage movies. (kidding) | 20:02 |
| gidna | adobe flas is installed too | 20:02 |
| BluesKaj | hehe, espacially ones where the hero is strapped to a centrifuge ...even the S&Ms would be able to come up with something that :) | 20:03 |

| kim_ | adept says now evertime that there did go something wrong when tryingen to install a pack | 20:03 |
| BluesKaj | gidna, did you read the second post by the bot | 20:04 |
| gidna | The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. ? | 20:04 |
| BluesKaj | yes | 20:05 |
| terran4000 | gidna: <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. | 20:05 |
| gidna | but some files are played... | 20:05 |
| BluesKaj | they are prolly java | 20:05 |
| gidna | Adobe is not gnash... | 20:06 |
| gidna | i'm using gnash.. | 20:06 |
| terran4000 | Gnash is a alternative to Adobe Flash, and thus it does not support Adobe's features 100% | 20:07 |
| gidna | the file not played is opened with gnash on mozilla.. | 20:08 |

| LamerMan | hi everyone. Where can i find the "core dump" after program crash? | 20:11 |
| BluesKaj | gidna, if you used konqueror browser then the flashplugin-nonfree will work as long konqueror-nsplugins is installed as well | 20:11 |
| gidna | I don''t use konqueror.. | 20:12 |
| BluesKaj | too bad | 20:12 |
| gidna | with konqueror is the same.. | 20:12 |
| gidna | I tried.. | 20:12 |
| BluesKaj | mine works | 20:12 |
| Alonea | gidna: whats the problem hun? | 20:13 |
| terran4000 | gidna: Some movies won't work with gnash simply because it's not as 'complete' as Adobe flash. You're best bet would be to install that. | 20:13 |
| gidna | so I have to wait the fixining of adobe flash? | 20:15 |
| ubuntu | . | 20:16 |
| Arelis | Does the 'kde' package install vanilla kde, but with all hardware support and drivers and CUPS etc etc? | 20:16 |
| terran4000 | Arelis: no | 20:17 |
| terran4000 | 'kubuntu' would have most stuff by default but KDE no. | 20:17 |
| Alonea | ok, ctrl+esc (or was it shift+esc) loads the task manager right? I am getting nothing. Also, If I try any keyboard shortcuts in other programs, they don't work either. Like doing ctrl++ to make text bigger or ctrl+h to get the history up. | 20:17 |
| Alonea | (that last bit was the shortcuts in firefox) | 20:18 |
| Arelis | but the Kubuntu version of KDE feels tacked-on and incomplete. Some things do not work, some hardware does not work, and support generally (not IRC support, but support for devices, plugins, stuff..), is bad. | 20:18 |
| terran4000 | Alonea: yes, Ctrl+Esc does open a 'task manager' of sorts. | 20:18 |
| Alonea | terran4000: alright. well, it seems no KB shortcut is working in any program. even stuff click copy paste kb shortcuts are not working. | 20:19 |
| Alonea | *stuff like | 20:20 |
| terran4000 | Arelis: I'm not exactly a kubuntu expert/programmer or anything ... but as far as I can tell, Kubuntu was created to appeal to "most" people. A generalization. Thus some things will not work until you install drivers and software for it. | 20:20 |
| terran4000 | I also think it's a bit bloated, but hey it "just works" so I'm not complaining. | 20:20 |
| Arelis | terran4000: But Ubuntu works fine. | 20:20 |
| Arelis | (the GNOME version) | 20:20 |
| Alonea | Arelis: I might try that if I continue to have problems with this. or downgrade to what was before gusty. | 20:21 |
| terran4000 | Arelis: Ubuntu comes with different software packages. So it'll be a bit different. As for hardware working in ubuntu/kubuntu ... I can't comment on that at all cause like I said, I'm not a dev. | 20:21 |
| terran4000 | Alonea: o.O Copy and paste doesn't work??? | 20:22 |
| Alonea | terran4000: nope. nothing. no keyboard shortcuts at all. have to do it with mouse. its kinda driving me crazy | 20:22 |
| Alonea | terran4000: my keyboard and mouse is also doing crazy stuff that was a problem in whatever version was a year ago too. | 20:23 |
| Arelis | Alonea: I had the same problems with Feisty. | 20:23 |
| Alonea | terran4000: keys often get stuck, mouse jumps all over, stuff I copied earlier is randomly appearing when I type. | 20:24 |
| Alonea | Arelis: yeah, I think that was the version. possibly. not all awake yet. | 20:24 |
| steveire | !ssh | 20:24 |
| ubotu | SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ | 20:24 |
| Arelis | Alonea: how's Kubuntu Gutsy? | 20:25 |
| Alonea | Arelis: well, for me, the driver support is sooooo much better and I can actually shut down my computer now, but then old problems with keyboard and mous and now this unable to do shortcuts has come up. | 20:25 |
| Arwen | Arelis, you didn't ask, but I think the previous version was better polished. | 20:25 |
| Arwen | There's an outstanding issue with framebuffer consoles, and XVideo with the ati driver is broken. | 20:26 |
| Alonea | Arwen: don't jinx my computer. ati is working for the first time ever without it messing something else up (like unable to shut down computer) ^__^ | 20:27 |
| Arwen | heh | 20:27 |
| terran4000 | Alonea: if "keys get stuck" and stuff like that sounds like a hardware problem ..... | 20:27 |

| navetz | i get the error everytime i type alsamixer | 20:29 |
| Alonea | terran4000: well, not psychically stuck, but if you press the key, it keeps on going. I had this problem before on i think fiesty, yet after that it was fixed. | 20:29 |

| filip | i can connect to any network server - i am talking at this irc server right now | 20:30 |
| terran4000 | Alonea: huh ... the only other time I've seen such a software issue was when a friend hacked the teachers computer (windows ME, already a good laugh) and put a crappy virus on it. | 20:30 |
| filip | but i can't connect to localhost | 20:30 |
| ScorpKing | filip: using dailup? | 20:30 |
| filip | i mean - i get 100% packet loss using ping | 20:31 |
| terran4000 | navetz: an error like that 'usually' means that no sound card is detected. | 20:31 |
| Alonea | terran4000: *shrugs* only had it on this os. never any other one. and it comes hand in hand with the mouse issue for me. | 20:31 |
| navetz | terran4000: it was working before though | 20:31 |
| Alonea | terran4000: I wanted to see if there is maybe a synaptic thing I can install, but adept no longer works. | 20:31 |
| ScorpKing | filip: how do you get online? with what type of internet connection? | 20:31 |
| terran4000 | Alonea: it's possessed! | 20:31 |
| steveire | How do I find out what my uid is? (cmd line) | 20:31 |
| purpleposeidon | filip: I think dhclient lo will fix that YMMV | 20:32 |
| filip | ScorpKing: cable tv, over wireless router | 20:32 |
| Alonea | terran4000: I wanted to load the processes manager thing, but the shortcut doesnt work and I don't know how else to load it. | 20:32 |

| terran4000 | or something like that | 20:37 |
| darkghost2 | vista killer: pardus is best system | 20:37 |
| darkghost2 | than ubuntu | 20:37 |
| Alonea | terran4000: ok. also, to install things in the terminal, its sudo apt-get nameofprogram? | 20:37 |

| InspironUser | but I install a fair amount of stuff from commandline | 20:39 |
| darkghost2 | vista killer:ı'm from turkey | 20:39 |

| terran4000 | navetz: honestly, I can't think of much. Except that maybe a driver isn't being loaded. | 20:42 |
| terran4000 | What sound card do you have? | 20:42 |
| Yorokobi | K`zan, be careful with that one, though. It could take a while to complete :) | 20:42 |
| kim_ | flash install is broken? | 20:42 |
| vistakiller | darkghost3 what town in turkey are you from? | 20:42 |
| purpleposeidon | K`zan: shred /dev/sdb1 | 20:43 |
| K`zan | dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/sdb1 | 20:43 |
| K`zan | purpleposeidon: Will do that next :) | 20:43 |
| K`zan | Thanks! | 20:43 |
| vistakiller | darkghost2* | 20:43 |
| ScorpKing | K`zan: might take up to 6 hours depending on the disk size ;) | 20:43 |
| filip | ScorpKing: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50763/ - and i almost certain that the "lo" section wasn't there before that "dhclient lo" command | 20:43 |
| InspironUser | man shred: CAUTION: Note that shred relies on a very important assumption: that the file system overwrites data in place. This is the traditional way to do things, but many mod‐ | 20:44 |
| InspironUser | ern file system designs do not satisfy this assumption. The following are examples of file systems on which shred is not effective, or is not guaranteed to be effec‐ | 20:44 |
| InspironUser | tive in all file system modes: | 20:44 |
| K`zan | 500G, not a problem, once t hat is done I can dig it out and send samsung the serial number that they seem to desperately need :-). | 20:44 |
| TSK | Boy, Ubuntu sure has gained quite a lotta popularity lately. There 1300+ people in #ubuntu. :) | 20:44 |
| ScorpKing | filip: so it's only those tree? | 20:44 |
| terran4000 | TSK: That's because they were all kicked from Kubuntu. | 20:44 |
| InspironUser | Shows the importance of a good logo :p | 20:44 |
| TSK | LOL | 20:44 |
| purpleposeidon | InspironUser: Running shred on sdb1 will, uh, shred the filesystem itself | 20:45 |
| filip | ScorpKing: yes, that's all the output coming from ifconfig | 20:45 |
| * TSK just installed KUbuntu on a Compaq Presario F730US laptop last night and got nearly ALL the hardware working nearly perfectly. | 20:45 | |
| InspironUser | Maybe | 20:46 |
| ScorpKing | K`zan: when i send hd's back with info i don't want others to see running a strong magnet over the drive does the trick. not sure if they'll replce it after that though | 20:46 |
| K`zan | purpleposeidon: Don't care, if it completes without the drive flaking out, so much the better for sending it back to samsung :-). Already got everything I really needed off it. | 20:46 |
| TSK | I might have to change my past opinions of Ubuntu based on this most recent attempt at it. It's really come a LONG ways from a short couple years ago. :) | 20:46 |
| ScorpKing | filip: ok. looking.. | 20:46 |
| K`zan | TSK: I'm doing that here too, had BAD experiences with earlier ubuntu's. Major USB issues, that seem to be resolved in 7.10. | 20:47 |
| K`zan | TSK, still some minor problems (known bugs) like NFS filesystems randomly showing in df, but I can live with that :-). | 20:48 |
| ScorpKing | filip: so you get internet from wlan0 right? did you bring eth0 up after you got connected with wlan0? eth0 is still down tho | 20:48 |
| TSK | Only thing left to fiddle with is the advanced power management stuff which is MOSTLY working, but not quite 100% just yet. Anyone have a link to a good howto or tips page re: ACPI on K/Ubuntu? Most of what I've been able to Google up is kinda old-ish and not much helpful. :) | 20:48 |
| terran4000 | Kubuntu/Ubuntu have come a long way, though I believe they've come a full circle and have become a bit too fat in it's age. | 20:48 |
| filip | ScorpKing: well, i didn't touch eth0 at all, it just sits there because i don't use ethernet ;-) | 20:49 |
| filip | ScorpKing: and yes, i get my internet connection through wlan0 | 20:49 |
| TSK | K`zan: In the past I've not had much luck with Broadcom based wlan cards on ANY flavor of Linux, but KUbuntu really gave me quite a surprise. It works with both ndiswrapper and with the "restricted" driver. :) | 20:49 |
| InspironUser | No reason not to use ethernet | 20:49 |
| Alonea | thank kami...I think that fixed it. there were some more synaptic touchpad drivers that were not installed. | 20:49 |
| InspironUser | Wifi is for lamers | 20:49 |
| InspironUser | Unless you are using your neighbors | 20:49 |
| TSK | Wifi is for folks who HAVE to be mobile with their laptops. | 20:50 |
| terran4000 | InspironUser: Or lazy blokes like us. | 20:50 |
| filip | InspironUser: wifi *with* wpa is not lame and as TSK pointed, useful for laptops | 20:50 |
| InspironUser | How mobile does one have to be in their home? | 20:50 |
| Alonea | InspironUser: or are too lazy to run cable all under the carpet. | 20:50 |
| TSK | The lady I'm building this laptop for MUST be mobile, but she don't want the vile Windows Vista that came with it, hence, KUbuntu + Laptop = Happy lady. :) | 20:51 |
| terran4000 | I need my internet fix even at the piano, out back sledding, or in the hot tub. | 20:51 |
| ollle | wifi is great if you have a laptop at home of course | 20:51 |
| InspironUser | terran4000, you have won my respect | 20:51 |
| InspironUser | My damn roomated OSX 10.2 lappy doesn't support wpa | 20:51 |
| TSK | Hottub Linux... Hmmm... That could be fun. | 20:52 |
| InspironUser | so he is running 64 bit wep | 20:52 |
| TSK | Tell him to upgrade. 10.2 is obsolete. ;) | 20:52 |
| terran4000 | Wait ... 10.2 supports wpa o.O | 20:52 |
| InspironUser | Needless to say, I have him subnetted and firewalled off from my network | 20:52 |
| ollle | seriously, that wep/wpa encrypting powah is a little bit overrated. certainly there are situations where its needed, but not EVERYWHERE for EVERYONE | 20:52 |
| InspironUser | He's a developer and has dependancy hell, he can't really update | 20:52 |
| TSK | :( | 20:53 |
| ollle | thats my humble opinion | 20:53 |
| Alonea | ollle: it is when your neighbor will steal it... | 20:53 |
| InspironUser | ollle, it is needed in NYC where you have 600 neighbors... | 20:53 |
| filip | InspironUser: well, wep sucks ;-) and it's a shame that you don't have wpa because of os x - and guess what, they say linux is not ready for desktop :D | 20:53 |
| ScorpKing | filip: next time you get this problem look in /etc/resolve.conf if there are dns servers listed. if not edit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf and uncomment #prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1; but change 127.0.0.1 to the ip that is currently in /etc/resolve.conf. you can specify more than one my leaving a space between them i think. | 20:53 |
| ollle | alonea: not everyone has neighbours. i mean it. | 20:53 |
| terran4000 | Alonea: No no, you got it all wrong. You let them use it, then install a few interesting images on their computers :-) | 20:53 |
| Alonea | ollle: heh. in my town, if you don't have neighbors, you don't have internet. (internet doesn't reach outside where there are fewer people) | 20:54 |
| TSK | Funny... Linux has been on MY desktop and the desktops of half my friends for YEARS now... How is it not ready? Heck, the laptop I'm building is for a total newbie who's never owned a computer before and she's not having any complaints about Linux yet. ;) | 20:54 |
| Alonea | terran4000: hmm...that would be kinda fun. | 20:54 |
| ScorpKing | filip: like this - prepend domain-name-servers 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.2; that should work. ;) | 20:54 |
| ollle | alonea: what about slow DSL? just curious | 20:54 |
| terran4000 | Alonea: My neighbors learned very quickly :-) | 20:54 |
| TSK | The last newbie I built a Linux box for STILL has Linux on it 5 years later and refuses to change it even for his friends that keep trying to talk him into changing to Windows to "be more compatible" with their systems. :) | 20:55 |
| filip | ScorpKing: thanks for help! and your devotion to analyse the problem | 20:55 |
| Alonea | ollle: dsl no, satellite or dial up that is painful to use, kinda. | 20:55 |
| ollle | maybe i should clarify: i do have neighbours. but i think they prefer to steal a faster DSL. | 20:55 |
| ScorpKing | filip: you're welcome. that's the only way to learn something. ;) | 20:55 |
| Alonea | ollle: ah. ^__^. you poor dear. | 20:55 |
| TSK | He's actually tried to convince THEM to change THEIR machines to Linux more than once. :) | 20:55 |
| terran4000 | TSK: you're friend is a good man. | 20:56 |
| * InspironUser is away | 20:56 | |
| * TSK learns SO much from these Linux channels. | 20:56 | |
| neville | -_-v | 20:56 |
| Alonea | terran4000: I bet. since wpa didn't work so well on nix, I just made it so I was the only one allowed to use wireless. | 20:56 |
| ScorpKing | heh. move to #kubuntu-offtopic guys :P | 20:56 |
| terran4000 | Alonea: WPA doesn't work for you? Interesting .... | 20:57 |
| JasonCO | hi folks - when i try to run truecrypt, i get this message: truecrypt: Running with effective user id 0 (set-euid root) is not supported. | 20:57 |
| blady | pl? | 20:57 |
| JasonCO | what do i do? | 20:57 |
| JasonCO | i also have root | 20:57 |
| ScorpKing | JasonCO: don't run it as root. root = uuid 0 | 20:57 |
| Alonea | terran4000: its about a 50-50 shot. I got tired of trying for 15 minutes before it would work. some days it would work right off the bat. | 20:57 |
| Sylphid|work | hello how can i delete my cached session info and start a fresh session | 20:58 |
| terran4000 | I had trouble using the 128 bit wpa2 key here ... until I just changed from "ascii" to "hex key". Then it was just peachy. | 20:58 |
| JasonCO | ScorpKing: is that because i did sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/truecrypt | 20:58 |
| TSK | Aighty. I'ma go piddle around a bit more with this shiny new KUbuntu Linux laptop and see if I can get the APM/ACPI stuff 100%. It's otherwise workin' great. :) | 20:58 |
| Yorokobi | JasonCO, sudo chmod u-s /usr/bin/truecrypt | 20:59 |
| TSK | Y'all folks have much fun. /kbye | 20:59 |
| terran4000 | cheers | 20:59 |
| ScorpKing | JasonCO: that error say you cant do that | 20:59 |
| ogre | where are my icons located? | 20:59 |
| blady | artur pl? | 20:59 |
| JasonCO | ScorpKing: dist limitation? or what? | 20:59 |
| Alonea | terran4000: well, part of the problem is network-manager is teh evil and rarely works. so thus wireless assistant it is... | 20:59 |
| ScorpKing | ogre: locate icons | 20:59 |
| ScorpKing | JasonCO: not sure. maybe security, who knows | 21:00 |
| JasonCO | ScorpKing: i own the system and have root - is it something i can change -- its a gusty kubuntu box | 21:00 |
| jhutchins_wk | Hey, does the current live CD have all the cool compiz/emerald stuff avalable? | 21:01 |
| ScorpKing | JasonCO: haha. it's your system so it can give you errors. :P | 21:01 |
| terran4000_ | uhuh .... crazy assed signal >_> | 21:01 |
| makers_mark | how can i restore an empty partition back to ubuntu through the live cd? | 21:01 |
| JasonCO | ScorpKing: so no resolution? | 21:01 |
| Yorokobi | JasonCO, truecrypt isn't supposed to run as root; setting /usr/bin/truecrypt with u+s makes it always run as root. Remove the s bit and make it executable | 21:01 |
| ScorpKing | <Yorokobi> JasonCO, sudo chmod u-s /usr/bin/truecrypt | 21:02 |
| JasonCO | kool | 21:02 |
| Yorokobi | u-s then u+x should do it. | 21:02 |
| filip | jhutchins_wk: i think not, it has to be installed from packages | 21:03 |
| ScorpKing | makers_mark: i don't uderstand what you're asking. :( | 21:03 |
| ScorpKing | understand* | 21:03 |

| makers_mark | ScorpKing i have flash installed but it keeps on asking me for it. | 21:07 |
| purpleposeidon | !autostart | 21:08 |
| ubotu | To make programs autostart with your KDE session, you can make a link to it in ~/.kde/Autostart. The package 'kcontrol-autostart' makes a kcontrol item for handling items in that directory. | 21:08 |
| ScorpKing | makers_mark: ah. let me see what i have | 21:08 |
| artur__ | file:///home/artur/gutenprint-5.0.1-1lsb3.1.i486.rpm | 21:08 |
| makers_mark | ScorpKing should i give automatix a shot? | 21:08 |
| artur__ | did u meen this? | 21:08 |
| noname | Hello, please help me solve this problem: when I boot my system, a "Information - KdeSudo" window appears with a message " | 21:09 |

| ScorpKing | artur__: use alien to convert it to a .deb and install it the. hope it works | 21:09 |
| artur__ | i am new, how can i convert it? | 21:09 |
| terran4000_ | dadeto: echo ndiswrapper >> /etc/modules | 21:09 |
| terran4000_ | er .. .stick sudo infront of that | 21:09 |
| ScorpKing | makers_mark: i don't have any flash installed | 21:10 |
| makers_mark | ? | 21:10 |
| ScorpKing | artur__: sudo aptitude install alien | 21:10 |
| artur__ | ok | 21:10 |
| ScorpKing | makers_mark: i have .mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so for konq flash | 21:11 |
| dadeto | terran and do you thinks i should also add depmod -a? | 21:12 |
| makers_mark | ScorpKing i'm running automatix now and i'll see how it does after. | 21:12 |
| terran4000_ | dadeto: no | 21:12 |
| noname | does anybody know what should I do with the window I mentioned? about kdesudo | 21:13 |
| ScorpKing | !automatix | makers_mark | 21:13 |
| ubotu | makers_mark: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe » | 21:13 |
| dadeto | thanks terran | 21:13 |
| terran4000_ | hope it works | 21:13 |
| dadeto | me too :D | 21:13 |
| ScorpKing | noname: is there anything in .kde/Autostart ? | 21:14 |
| noname | nope | 21:14 |
| artur__ | ok i did it, it asks to unpack the program, i said yes, but i cant find my feisty-cd | 21:14 |
| ScorpKing | noname: ah ok. that is because one of the startup programs don't use kdesudo correctly. no idea how you will find it. maybe look in /var/log/* or google | 21:15 |
| noname | thx I'll try :) | 21:16 |
| ward_ | hello | 21:16 |
| ward_ | does somebody knows how to revert a driver to the linux kernel ? | 21:17 |
| ScorpKing | artur__: if your cd is gone run kdesudo /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # before the line for the cd. then run sudo apt-get update and try again | 21:17 |
| ward_ | Installed a wrong driver and want to revert to the kernel default driver | 21:17 |
| arken0493 | Hello. I was on yesterday trying to get help on my new Kubuntu PC. Everytime I use the restricted drivers for my GeForce 8500 GT, I can't see anything, when it's not on, I can see, but I can't run most of my applications. | 21:17 |
| Yorokobi | ward_, did you install in via insmod? | 21:17 |
| dhq_ | i am using a dell inspiron 6400 the fn+upor down for brightness doesnt work it works in windows | 21:18 |
| ward_ | insmod ? | 21:18 |
| Yorokobi | that'd be a no | 21:18 |
| ScorpKing | lol | 21:18 |
| Yorokobi | ward_, how did you install this other driver? also, what is it for? | 21:18 |
| ward_ | well I think I really messed it up | 21:18 |
| ScorpKing | arken0493: so it goes past the login (KDM) ? | 21:18 |
| ward_ | wireless card (4965 from intel), and try'd to install other drivers | 21:19 |
| arken0493 | ScorpKing: It starts up then doesn't work, unless I go into safe mode and startkde | 21:19 |
| Yorokobi | Is there kernel support for the 4965? | 21:19 |
| ward_ | yes it uses the 3945 instead | 21:20 |
| ward_ | and that works as well | 21:20 |
| Yorokobi | ward_, what'd you do to install the other driver? follow some instructions on a website/forum? | 21:20 |
| ward_ | yes one second I'll give you the link | 21:21 |
| ScorpKing | arken0493: that's weird. is the nvidia driver selected in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? it might be nv | 21:21 |
| arken0493 | ScorpKing: I've gone through this. | 21:21 |
| ScorpKing | oh | 21:21 |
| artur__ | where should i put #? what is the cd-line? | 21:21 |
| ward_ | http://www.intellinuxwireless.org/?p=iwlwifi | 21:21 |
| ward_ | thats the driver | 21:21 |
| ScorpKing | artur__: you'll see a line that has something about cd or cdrom in the beginning | 21:22 |
| ScorpKing | arken0493: no idea what's happening. have you tried the binary drivers? | 21:22 |
| Yorokobi | ward_, use lsmod to find the entry for mac80211 | 21:23 |
| arken0493 | ScorpKing: How do I do that? | 21:23 |
| ward_ | ok | 21:23 |
| Yorokobi | How much output is there? more than one line? | 21:23 |
| ward_ | yes | 21:23 |
| ward_ | mac80211 170888 0 | 21:23 |
| ward_ | cfg80211 7304 1 mac80211 | 21:23 |
| ScorpKing | artur_: its the line that say - deb cdrom:[Kubuntu 7.10 _... | 21:23 |
| ScorpKing | !paste | ward | 21:23 |
| ubotu | ward: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #kubuntu channel topic) | 21:24 |
| ward_ | sorry | 21:24 |
| ScorpKing | :) np | 21:24 |
| artur__ | cant do a # in that line | 21:24 |
| Yorokobi | ward_, try sudo rmmod mac80211 | 21:24 |
| arken0493 | ScorpKing: I can use the computer, but when I get the restricted drivers it doesn't work | 21:24 |
| ScorpKing | artur__: you have to put a # right in front of that line | 21:24 |
| ward_ | okay | 21:24 |
| ward_ | now nothing remaining of modules | 21:24 |
| Yorokobi | ward_, it should be using the kernel-provided driver now | 21:25 |
| ward_ | yes ? | 21:25 |
| Yorokobi | in theory, yes :) | 21:25 |
| ward_ | should I restart my hardware or something ? | 21:25 |
| BluesKaj | ward, then save it | 21:25 |
| Sylphid|work | hello .... my knetworkmanager is no longer allowing me to use my wireless card ... even with the ethernet cable disconnected it still shows there is etherenet connectivity | 21:25 |
| ward_ | because can't see wlan0 | 21:25 |
| ScorpKing | arken0493: it will be a lot faster if you can get it to work. download the binary driver from the nvidia website and see if it works. remove the current ones first | 21:25 |
| artur__ | cant get there | 21:25 |
| arken0493 | ScorpKing: Can you tell me to step by step? I'm a noob with linux. | 21:26 |
| ward_ | should I restart something ? | 21:26 |
| ScorpKing | arken0493: i can but it might break things. | 21:26 |
| BluesKaj | oops artur_ , after the # is added , save the file | 21:26 |
| Schuenemann | hey, where is $KDEDIR? | 21:27 |
| arken0493 | ScorpKing: Hold on. I may just try a few things by myself. | 21:27 |
| ScorpKing | ok | 21:27 |
| ward_ | Yorokobi what should I do now ? | 21:28 |
| ward_ | reload ? | 21:28 |
| Yorokobi | ward_, restarting the network *should* be good enough. Granted, I haven't used *mod commands in a while and I'm a bit rusty. $ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart | 21:28 |
| BluesKaj | artur_ i'll bet the sources.list file is open without permission , so no changes are allowed | 21:28 |
| ScorpKing | artur__: kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list | 21:28 |
| ward_ | did it | 21:28 |
| ward_ | but nothing | 21:28 |
| ward_ | no interface | 21:28 |
| BluesKaj | artur__,did it ask for a password? | 21:29 |
| Yorokobi | ward_, you could try rebooting; like I said, I'm a bit rusty with those commands. Someone else may have a better idea ... | 21:30 |
| ward_ | okay anybody :p ? | 21:30 |

| Schuenemann | where is $KDEDIR in kubuntu? | 21:30 |
| ScorpKing | arken0493: it's not that difficult. download the .bin from nvidia and then run chmod 755 <file.bin> . boot in safemode and run ./file.bin . i think you need the c headers or something as well. not sure | 21:30 |
| ward_ | gonna try rebooting than | 21:31 |
| ward_ | see you soon ) hope not | 21:31 |

| ScorpKing | Schuenemann: maybe /usr/local/kde ? | 21:35 |
| Schuenemann | ScorpKing, that one doesn't exist | 21:35 |
| artur__ | ok, i'll try antoher time, tnx, SorpKing | 21:36 |
| ScorpKing | Schuenemann: try env | 21:36 |
| Schuenemann | ScorpKing, not there... do you see it? | 21:37 |
| ScorpKing | Schuenemann: nope. try touch $KDEDIRS/whereisthis && sudo updatedb && locate whereisthis | 21:38 |
| Yorokobi | isn't $KDEDIR a short-hand way of referring to wherever the KDE binaries are installed? | 21:39 |
| Yorokobi | not necessarily an actual shell variable | 21:39 |
| ScorpKing | as far as i know yes | 21:39 |
| Yorokobi | so $KDEDIR=/usr/bin ?? | 21:39 |
| ScorpKing | it is / here | 21:40 |
| Schuenemann | Yorokobi, the person it's an environment variable... anyway, where would be that? | 21:40 |
| ScorpKing | Yorokobi: could be | 21:40 |
| Sanne | Schuenemann: you might be able to find out with kde-config, for example "kde-config --prefix" gives you "Compiled in prefix for KDE libraries". to see all options, use: kde-config --help | 21:41 |
| Sanne | Schuenemann: prefix is usually the top installation directory, in this case it is /usr. If your app needs this set to $KDEDIR, you can set the variable with: export $KDEDIR=/usr | 21:42 |
| ScorpKing | that shows /usr here | 21:43 |
| ScorpKing | oh. lol | 21:43 |
| Sanne | :) | 21:43 |
| ScorpKing | thanks Sanne, something usefull :D | 21:43 |
| Schuenemann | Sanne, actually, I have to copy a language file to $KDEDIR/share/locale/pt_BR/LC_MESSAGES/ | 21:43 |
| Schuenemann | I wonder where is that | 21:43 |
| Sanne | Schuenemann: that would then be /usr/share/locale... | 21:44 |
| Schuenemann | well, I have it under /usr | 21:44 |
| * ScorpKing nods.. | 21:44 | |
| Schuenemann | I'll try there, thanks | 21:44 |
| Sanne | welcome :) | 21:44 |
| Schuenemann | I hope it doesn't crash everything like my last update | 21:44 |
| ScorpKing | nite guys.. | 21:45 |
| bascule | Schuenemann: hi again, update for you https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-systemsettings/+bug/153636/comments/21 | 21:45 |
| Sanne | Schuenemann: be aware, though, that whenever you put files manually to places usually under the reign of the package manager, you might get in trouble when you update. | 21:45 |
| Schuenemann | bascule, wow, thanks. I'll try that | 21:46 |
| Schuenemann | Sanne, it's just a language file... you think it can be harmful? | 21:46 |
| Sanne | Schuenemann: I won't think so, but better make a note about it, so you remember later, if needed. | 21:46 |
| Sanne | wouldn't, even | 21:47 |
| Schuenemann | ok, I don't plan to stay long with feisty anyway | 21:47 |
| supert0nes | is there any word on if kde4 will be pushed back? | 21:48 |
| Sanne | Schuenemann: I think it's ok. What I'm against is to put self compiled apps or third party binaries to /usr, cluttering files all over the place. But that's not the case with your language file :) | 21:48 |
| Schuenemann | alright, thanks | 21:49 |
| Sanne | :) | 21:49 |
| Schuenemann | brb. restart KDE to test | 21:50 |
| supert0nes | oh hey thats a good point, so for my new ipod i updated the libgpod to .60 from a .deb file, will the package manager update this file if a newer version than .60 comes out? | 21:51 |
| Schuenemann | working :-) | 21:51 |
| Schuenemann | all that work for a simple typo | 21:52 |
| BluesKaj | supert0nes, yes it should | 21:52 |

| jeff__ | doesn anyone here have anything against swiftweasel? | 22:49 |
| sub[t]rnl | jeff__➜ I like it | 22:52 |
| DreadKnight | i'm using swiftfox for flash xD | 22:53 |
| sub[t]rnl | :> | 22:53 |
| Schuenemann | I installed swiftfox and didn't see any improvement | 22:54 |
| DreadKnight | Schuenemann: improvement over what? firefox? | 22:55 |
| Schuenemann | yes | 22:55 |
| DreadKnight | it's more of a downgrade if you ask me | 22:55 |
| Schuenemann | it was supposed to be faster | 22:55 |
| DreadKnight | in terms of features, not sure about the speed.. | 22:56 |
| DreadKnight | seems pretty slow to me :| | 22:56 |
| Schuenemann | it's the same, just optimized for a specific processor | 22:56 |
| jeff__ | its faster for me | 22:57 |
| jeff__ | it loads | 22:57 |
| jeff__ | firefox doesnt sometimes | 22:57 |
| Schuenemann | your fx is b0rked | 22:57 |
| InspironUser | Borked? | 22:58 |
| InspironUser | Its swedish? | 22:58 |
| Schuenemann | InspironUser, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=b0rked | 22:58 |
| * DreadKnight is trying out swiftweasel | 22:59 | |
| jeff__ | well | 22:59 |
| jeff__ | firefox failed on rhel4 | 22:59 |
| jeff__ | or it woul dtake 2 minutes to load | 22:59 |
| Schuenemann | DreadKnight, swiftweasel is the same, but to iceweasel? | 22:59 |
| jeff__ | on all 50 machines. | 22:59 |
| InspironUser | Schuenemann, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=joke | 22:59 |
| jeff__ | and firefox gave me problems loading on every kubuntu install i did, whether it be i386 or amd64 | 22:59 |
| Schuenemann | InspironUser, huh... I already know that word :-) | 23:00 |
| blizzzek | bye | 23:00 |
| DreadKnight | Schuenemann: as far as i know the "swift" prefix indicates it only uses RAM... = more secure and stuff.. | 23:00 |
| InspironUser | wow | 23:00 |
| jeff__ | but swiftweasel works fine, and what i liek is that it comes setup with adblock filters you can subscribe to | 23:00 |
| Schuenemann | DreadKnight, hmmm... if you check www.getswiftfox.com it says it's optmized for different processors (there is amd, p4, p3 versions, etc) | 23:00 |
| jeff__ | fubar > b0rked | 23:01 |
| sub[t]rnl | swiftweasel has all the w32 code removed from it as well, tailoring it for linux | 23:01 |
| DreadKnight | i can't understand how to use the adblock filter in the mozilla browsers family, in opera i just used to click on the ads to get them blocked xD | 23:01 |
| DreadKnight | Schuenemann: oh yeah, and a bunch of procesor optimizations xD eh.. | 23:01 |
| Schuenemann | DreadKnight, you might consider RIP (remove it permanently) too | 23:02 |
| DreadKnight | Schuenemann: let me see if i manage to install swiftweasel... but i would just prefer konqueror at any time :( | 23:03 |
| sub[t]rnl | DreadKnight➜ same here, konq > * | 23:04 |
| DreadKnight | what do you guys think about firefox? | 23:04 |
| DreadKnight | strange thing with gnome and firefox xD | 23:05 |
| DreadKnight | i mean firefox 3* :D | 23:05 |
| Schuenemann | DreadKnight, lot's of extensions | 23:05 |

| sub[t]rnl | Schuenemann➜ hrm, is a link being held open by another process? | 23:07 |
| sub[t]rnl | Schuenemann➜ you could use lsof and the /proc dir to retreive it | 23:07 |
| Schuenemann | sub[t]rnl, huh... a link to that file? | 23:07 |
| terran4000_ | limac: no | 23:07 |
| terran4000_ | limac: other than have a laptop and a desktop (and the like) | 23:07 |
| limac | btw how do u use samba | 23:08 |
| sub[t]rnl | Schuenemann➜ when you delete a file your essentially removing a link to it, until all processes have "let go" of it its still there | 23:08 |
| terran4000_ | limac: which to a radio station with better music. | 23:08 |
| r_ | uwo: maybe you can try to uninstal all the | 23:08 |
| sub[t]rnl | Schuenemann➜ google "rm retrieve lsof" | 23:08 |
| limac | terran4000_: thx, what do u mean switch to a radio station?? o.o | 23:08 |
| terran4000_ | limac: joke. | 23:09 |
| DreadKnight | actually ubuntu uses firefox as default, not gnome (which has empathy) right? | 23:09 |
| Schuenemann | sub[t]rnl, I don't think any process is holding it, I just deleted... no processes would have reason to link to it | 23:09 |
| terran4000_ | !samba | 23:09 |
| ubotu | 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. | 23:09 |
| limac | terran4000_ good one | 23:09 |
| r_ | uwo: maybe there is some separated configuration direcotry for KDE4 - KDE3 has .kde in you home folder - aren't these settings for # and 4 versions of KDE separated? | 23:10 |
| limac | terran4000, the tutorial will b there??? | 23:10 |
| terran4000_ | Personally, if I 'need' to use samba I just use konqueror and something like smb://othercomp/music/passed-out-music | 23:10 |
| Tallen | Anyone know how to get spellcheck working in Konversation? | 23:10 |
| terran4000_ | limac: no idea, I guess that depends on what you really want to do with it. Worth checking out. | 23:10 |
| limac | terran4000_ u no like file transfer between computers | 23:11 |
| terran4000_ | in that case: question #1: is the windows computer already setup for sharing? | 23:11 |
| sub[t]rnl | Tallen➜ right click in the dialog box (where you type), and click autospell check | 23:11 |
| Tallen | sub[t]rnl: doh! thanks. | 23:12 |
| r_ | uwo: if you mean default settings without keeping your configurations, you can delete .kde directory completely - after next login the configuration dialog should appear | 23:12 |
| limac | terran4000_ how do u set it up? | 23:12 |
| terran4000_ | Speaking of spell check ... KDE programs need to get a much better spell check interface. Gaim is a good example. I know it's OT, but meh. Just wanted to get the thought out there. | 23:12 |
| * sub[t]rnl nods | 23:13 | |
| terran4000_ | terran4000_: I usually start out by drinking a whole bottle of wiskey. It helps when dealing with Windows networking | 23:13 |
| sub[t]rnl | kde4 has its own ~/.kde4 dir it stores settings too | 23:13 |
| terran4000_ | doh! | 23:13 |
| sub[t]rnl | and with talking to yourself! | 23:13 |
| terran4000_ | Success! | 23:14 |
| terran4000_ | Now I can take over the world by confusing everyone into nothingness. | 23:14 |
| sub[t]rnl | lol | 23:14 |
| terran4000_ | Anywho | 23:14 |
| terran4000_ | limac: On the windows computer | 23:14 |
| limac | yeah how? | 23:14 |
| terran4000_ | It's usually something like (assuming windows XP) right click on the folder you want to share | 23:14 |
| terran4000_ | and selecting the "share" tab (or something like that) | 23:15 |
| terran4000_ | Enable file sharing for that folder and pray to God (no joke) that it will work | 23:15 |
| Schuenemann | sub[t]rnl, any specific resource? lots of nonsense stuff | 23:15 |
| terran4000_ | sed s/God/wiskey bottle/ | 23:16 |
| limac | terran4000_: what if I have win98???? | 23:16 |
| Schuenemann | limac, then, my apologies | 23:16 |
| terran4000_ | Windows 98 had file sharing?! | 23:16 |
| limac | i don't no | 23:16 |
| terran4000_ | lol | 23:16 |
| terran4000_ | Sorry, but the last experience with '98 was me throwing the computer out the window, then convincing my boss the computer commited suicide and to get me a new one (it worked) | 23:17 |
| Schuenemann | it did... you're surfing the web while sharing your whole HD | 23:17 |
| terran4000_ | In this world, we call it H4X0R3D | 23:17 |
| limac | I wanna just infect it with a virus too manually but can't | 23:17 |
| DreadKnight | omg swiftweasel rocks, uninstalling swiftfox xD | 23:18 |
| limac | the netscape browser takes like a decade to come | 23:18 |
| terran4000_ | Really though, I don't know. It should have a 'share' tab/window/feature somewhere | 23:18 |
| terran4000_ | You'll have to google for it. | 23:18 |
| limac | :"( | 23:18 |

| limac | no | 23:19 |
| kyled185 | 75 | 23:19 |
| limac | biovore ^^ | 23:19 |
| terran4000_ | Install samba, if you know how to ... | 23:19 |
| limac | biovore: good guess tho | 23:19 |
| terran4000_ | 750 hertz? | 23:19 |
| Tallen | limac: I am running Xbuntu on a PII 366 with 192MB RAM and a 6.4GB hardrive. (IBM 570). ;) | 23:19 |
| kyled185 | 75MHz | 23:20 |
| kyled185 | I had a 75MHz laying around, not sure if it still exists though | 23:20 |
| limac | terran4000_ no it's 2.8 mflops | 23:20 |
| biovore | I had it running on a 16 Mhz 386with 16MB of ram and 1.44 MB floppy :-P | 23:20 |
| limac | it's incredibly fast and got it free from IBM | 23:21 |
| kyled185 | that's nothing, I installed Xubuntu on my TI-83 back in high school | 23:21 |
| terran4000_ | Psh, 1.44 floppy are sooo new age. 5 1/4 disks are the way to go man. | 23:21 |
| limac | thats mainly for the supercomputer design and stuff | 23:21 |
| terran4000_ | limac: know how to install samba on the linux side of the issue? | 23:22 |
| biovore | 2.8 Mflop isn't very fast.. | 23:22 |
| limac | sudo apt-get install samba | 23:22 |
| terran4000_ | woot | 23:22 |
| limac | biovore: u gotta b kidding | 23:22 |
| biovore | 1 tflop is fast | 23:22 |
| biovore | 1 or 1G flop | 23:22 |
| limac | well | 23:22 |
| biovore | 1M flop is nothing.. | 23:23 |
| limac | blue gene itself is 2.8 gflops | 23:23 |
| biovore | blue gen is 1998 | 23:23 |
| limac | huh??? | 23:23 |
| limac | how about 1pflop???? | 23:24 |
| biovore | 36.01 teraflops <-- what the average super computer does these days | 23:24 |
| biovore | 1Meg is 100,000 times slower then 1T | 23:24 |
| terran4000_ | All this talk of flopping around is getting me a taste for sushi | 23:26 |
| randomshadowbmg | can kubuntu write to ntfs now? | 23:26 |

| ubotu | To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 23:26 |

| walkover | hello! im running compiz with kubuntu and the panel does not work as it should. it displays all my tasks from all desktops in one. How do i avoid this? | 23:41 |
| itsjustme | Hello all... I have a rather unique problem.. My desktop doesn't allow me to see the taskbar at the bottom of the screen.. Even after configuring it to be larger I can't see the bottom of it.. I tried to adjust the horizontal and vertical monitor inputs and also it doesn't allow a full view of the taskbar.. An example of what I see is this program, if it was in full (maximized ) screen i can't see the text field. I have to have | 23:41 |
| itsjustme | the program in min size to type.. Any help??? | 23:41 |
| Schuenemann | Romina, it's empty? | 23:41 |
| Romina | it does not even exist | 23:41 |
| walkover | the pager does not work properly either | 23:41 |
| Romina | /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings: No such file or directory | 23:42 |
| Schuenemann | Romina, see it there is any directory that makes sense... I don't know. I have that exact file you mentioned | 23:42 |
| sub[t]rnl | itsjustme➜ you tried the horizontal/vertical on the actual monitor right? | 23:44 |
| Schuenemann | Romina, sudo -name profilerc might find it | 23:44 |

| walkover | anyone? | 23:44 |
| Schuenemann | sorry, sudo find -name profilerc | 23:44 |
| Romina | the only one is in /home/romina/.kde/share/config/profilerc | 23:45 |
| Romina | but this one seems not to work | 23:45 |
| fdoving | Romina: what are you trying to do? | 23:45 |
| Romina | when I change the default application for any file, this file does not change | 23:45 |
| itsjustme | YES i did and it was only limited in the help it gave | 23:46 |
| Romina | fdoving, what I want to do: | 23:46 |
| sub[t]rnl | walkover➜ http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=61169 | 23:46 |
| Romina | fdoving, I have to set up around 6 computers with kubuntu | 23:46 |
| Romina | it takes a long time until every file type is associated to a default application | 23:47 |
| Romina | so I just want to port the data file which contains this information to all the 6 computers I am going to set up | 23:47 |
| Romina | fdoving, goal is to find the data file :) | 23:48 |
| fdoving | Romina: with the changes you make to one account, right? | 23:48 |
| fdoving | so you set up one account, and want to copy the thing around to all the other boxes? | 23:48 |
| Romina | the #kde guys said it would be ~/.kde/share/config/profilerc ... well, this file contains some infos, but it does not change when I link a file type to a new default app | 23:48 |
| Romina | fdoving, not everything should be copied, but some stuff | 23:49 |
| Schuenemann | Romina, that file (in home) seems to work for me. It has only some filetypes and I remember I changed those | 23:49 |
| Romina | the default applications stuff is one of the things which has to be copied | 23:49 |
| fdoving | Romina: it is profilerc. | 23:49 |
| Romina | Schuenemann, when you change any other file type (I tried it with .mp3) this file does NOT change | 23:49 |
| Romina | http://sial.org/pbot/paste | 23:50 |
| Romina | erm sorry | 23:50 |
| Romina | http://sial.org/pbot/29591?tx=on&submit=Format+it%21 | 23:50 |
| Schuenemann | Romina, it just did to me | 23:51 |
| Schuenemann | I changed png to gimp and it was recorded there | 23:51 |
| fdoving | Romina: but by default the ~/.kde/share/config/profilerc is only the differences in that accounts config, compared to the system-default, whcih is /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/kde-profile/default/share/config/profilerc | 23:51 |
| fdoving | ~/.kde/share/config/profilerc will of course override the /usr/share one. | 23:51 |
| Romina | Schuenemann, lemme try it with the same stuff (png to gimp) | 23:52 |
| sourcemaker | hal is no working for me... what's wrong? | 23:53 |
| sourcemaker | I have inserted a usb but there is no window to auto-mount | 23:54 |
| f3ex | кто выключил свет?? | 23:54 |
| Schuenemann | !ru | f3ex | 23:54 |
| ubotu | f3ex: Пожалуйста посетите #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке / Pozhalujsta posetite #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke | 23:54 |
| sub[t]rnl | sourcemaker➜ try sudo fdisk -l | 23:54 |
| Boruta | i turn on my PC and it says: etc/init.d/rc usplash_write permission denied and die hard please help! I have not modified anything it was ok | 23:55 |
| sourcemaker | sub[t]rnl: I know.. how to mount ... but how can I auto-mount | 23:55 |
| Romina | Schuenemann, nothing happened to ~/.kde/share/config/profilerc | 23:55 |
| Romina | fdoving, should it make me wonder that /usr/share/kubuntu-default-settings/ does NOT exist? | 23:56 |
| Schuenemann | Romina, weird... you're sure it's the same user? | 23:56 |
| Romina | yes | 23:56 |
| fdoving | Romina: are you missing the kubuntu-default-settings package? | 23:57 |
| Danbroot | um.. how to enable flash in konqueror in gutsy? :/ | 23:57 |
| Romina | fdoving, no clue, I run the default installation of 7.04 | 23:57 |
| fdoving | Romina: then you should have it. | 23:57 |
| Schuenemann | Romina, apt-cache policy kubuntu-default-settings | 23:58 |
| Schuenemann | I think she doesn't | 23:58 |
| Romina | kubuntu-default-settings: | 23:58 |
| sub[t]rnl | sourcemaker➜ anything interesting in dmesg when you plug it in? | 23:58 |
| Romina | Installed: (none) | 23:58 |
| fdoving | that is interessting. | 23:58 |
| sourcemaker | sub[t]rnl: no.. quite normal | 23:58 |
| Romina | could it change anything to my current installation if I install this package now? | 23:58 |
| fdoving | Romina: how did you install kde? | 23:58 |
| sourcemaker | it's located at /dev/sdd1 | 23:59 |
| Romina | fdoving, kubuntu comes with KDE by default | 23:59 |
| Romina | ubuntu is the gnome one | 23:59 |
| fdoving | Romina: yes, some defaults, but your ~/.kde changes will stick. | 23:59 |
| sourcemaker | !hal | 23:59 |
| ubotu | Sorry, I don't know anything about hal - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi | 23:59 |
| Romina | fdoving, I hope it won't change too much | 23:59 |
| Schuenemann | fdoving, IIRC, I installed this package yesterday. I didn't have it (although I removed some packages that might've removed it along) | 23:59 |
| Romina | fdoving, installing this package could help me solve my problem? | 23:59 |
| fdoving | Romina: do you have kubuntu-desktop then? | 23:59 |
